It wasn't until the salt was inside me that I realized just how ironic it was to swallow something that could potentially kill me in order to prevent me from dying. Ironic and stupid. |
In the midst of this panic the cleanse began to take effect. Now as much as I would love to put into words and specifics the initial reactions that my body had to drinking a quart of the Great Salt Lake, I will keep the details light. It is enough to say that I spent the better part of the next ninety minutes sat upon ... |
I felt like Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon 2, sat upon the toilet with my legs asleep and and a bomb beneath me, and I was also one more sit-down dance away from blood clots (something else that I tend to worry about at a constant clip). And the thirst, oh my the thirst! My lips were puckered and burning, my tongue shri... |
After a long while at this, I felt a calming within my bowels. Daring to leave the bathroom, I made my way to the kitchen. I was thirsty, hungry, and exhausted. I filled a tall glass with ice water and sucked it down in a few large swallows, then filled it again, draining it one more time. A cold, restoring sensation f... |
"Uh-oh..." I said aloud in response to an audible and forceful rumbling in my stomach. I ran across the living room and into the bathroom, not sure yet whether I should kneel or sit. |
I didn't have to debate the issue for long. A powerful torrent of cold salt water rushed from my throat and into the toilet. My eyes widened in amazement as over and over again, staggering amounts of clear, cold, salty water gushed up from within my stomach and out my mouth. My first conscious thought was the realizati... |
My final thought, which accompanied the final barrage of stomach water, was this; this is loud, this is violent, this is painful; this is going to make a great story. |
Footnote: Elizabeth later told me (laughing) that not a split second after my loud and terrible retching had ended, the toaster popped up with a happy click, as if to signal an end to my suffering. |
This is the best thing of the week, hands down. Tying it to ‪ The Wire, takes it to another level. I’m gaga right now. This is my head exploding. |

So I have to give it to the America's Test Kitchen again. I am not someone who typically likes pancakes (too doughy, too spongy, etc.). But these pancakes are awesome! Even Nathan (who hates pancakes), liked these. |
2. Heat a oiled skillet over medium heat. Spread the batter, then top with a few blueberries. Cook 2-3 minutes. Flip. Then cook another 2 minutes. |
Note: These can be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen for up to a week. Defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hrs & heat in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes. |
Anthony Davis wants out of New Orleans: What does it mean for the Sixers? - The Morning Call Anthony Davis wants out of New Orleans: What does it mean for the Sixers? |
Anthony Davis sent shockwaves through NBA front offices Monday morning after telling the Pelicans he won’t sign a contract extension and wants to be traded. |
Still, the Sixers are one of 10 teams listed as a potential landing spot by www.BetOnline.ag. The sportsbook lists the Sixers at 9/1 (bet $100 to win $900) as Davis’ employer prior to the start of next season. |
It’s easy to dream about Davis’ being paired with Joel Embiid and forming a “twin towers” in the Sixers’ frontcourt, but that seems very unlikely. |
So what does an impending Davis trade mean for the Sixers? |
A reported unwillingness to include Simmons in a trade for Davis should signal that the front office has confidence in its young stars. And of course, it should. Embiid is a dominant force down low and Simmons controls the game from multiple positions. |
Simmons collects triple-doubles with ease, and while the biggest criticism of him in his short NBA career is the lack of a jump shot, it would be unwise to unload a player with this much potential so early in his career. |
Sure, Jimmy Butler can ruffle some feathers from time to time, but it’s hard to imagine this trio won’t figure things out and be contenders in the East for years to come — if they decide to re-sign Butler, who will surely be seeking a max contract after opting out of the final year of his deal. |
BetOnline.ag has the Celtics (11/4), followed by the Lakers (5/4), as the two most likely destinations for Davis prior to the start of next season, but where will he land for the remainder of this season? |
According to Haynes, the Lakers and Knicks are preparing offers for the former Kentucky star. |
The Lakers seem like an obvious potential destination. L.A. is currently 26-24 and two games out of a final playoff spot in the ultra-competitive Western Conference, but a superstar tandem of LeBron James and Davis could be quite potent. |
As far as what it would cost the Lakers, Haynes said a deal would most likely include Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Kyle Kuzma in addition to other sweeteners to make the money match. |
The Knicks are an interesting case as well. New York has been abysmal this season and is just 10-38, but the club does have some assets that could appeal to the Pelicans. |
Kristaps Prozingis, who is recovering from a torn ACL, could be part of a deal and rookie Kevin Knox might have some value, plus the Knicks could wind up with the No. 1 overall pick heading into next summer’s draft. |
Davis will likely opt out of his deal after next season and become a free agent. It could make sense for the Knicks to trade for Davis if they intend to try to lure Kevin Durant to the Big Apple in free agency this summer. |
Additionally, if that scenario comes to fruition and the Knicks do wind up with Davis and Durant, they suddenly become a top contender in the Eastern Conference along with the Sixers, Raptors, Celtics, and Bucks. |
Toss the Pacers in there too, once Victor Oladipo gets healthy. |
Obviously, free agency is unpredictable, but that possibility does exist for New York, which is why the Sixers should exercise some foresight and make every effort to keep Butler and their own “Big 3” intact. |
The trade deadline is only nine days away. Get your popcorn ready. |

Water Color Smoothie; Food as Self Care, Soul Care, and a Gift. |
Self-Care has taken two routes for me; the bubble bath/buy new leggings route, and the GET IT DONE work route. Both are effective, a lot of the time, in their own ways. However, self-care being tied to something I literally have to do, has been a big shift in a beautiful way. Taking a task my family and my body need me... |
I spent many years using food as a means of control. Tracking, restricting, following plans and diets, and generally living in fear of food. I recently was listening to a podcast (The Lively Show, you should absolutely go and listen to it too!) and on it the host was talking about how we try so hard to not feel our fee... |
Feeling too sad? Try eating something while I watch a show. Too anxious? Maybe more coffee. Feeling disappointed? A treat! |
Caveat! I don’t think that ’emotional eating’ is inherently wrong. And I have spent many a night, very much so owning my feelings right there WITH a bar of chocolate and a Netflix show. But the difference was how I felt about that action, myself, and my choices. Feeling good, or at least OK, about your choices is a big... |
Over the past two years as I’ve worked to really hard to overhaul my relationship with food, my body, and what body positivity actually looks like, I have found that food is an integral part of that. Making myself meals that taste amazing, fuel me, make me feel my best, and are beautiful has become an epic form of self... |
And in that love of creating beautiful fuel for myself, I found the Water Color Smoothie. |
Mix each color of ingredients separately in your blender, blend until smooth. If you need more liquid, add water. Pour in green smoothie, pop cup into freezer while you blend up your next color. Spoon next color gently on top, and then put the cup back in the freezer while you blend up your final color. Spoon final col... |
We have to eat. It’s a space that can be morphed from control and shame ridden, or necessity and habitual, into a really deeply healing form of self-care. It’s easy to feel like self-care is only found in the ways we see it culturally perpetuated; weekends away, bubble baths, ‘girls night out’, or expensive primping an... |
Good share. Kids love smoothies. It is a quick way to feed them some nutrition. |
We are currently working on an exciting new-build 10 bedroom villa in the Domaine de Brau vineyards outside Carcassonne in SW France. Having undertaken a localised search and found the site for our Client, we also sourced a local ‘executive’ architect to look after construction and delivery under our design direction. ... |
The building is made up of three finger elements which separate out the requirements of the brief, with bedrooms on the upper floor and living areas below, cut into the ground. These elements grow out of the hillside, leading the eye round the site to the vineyards below and the mountains to north and south. From the d... |

Before I begin this article I’d like to make t known that I am a full supporter for the LGBTQ+ community, and my thoughts go out to the families grieving for loved ones involved in the Florida shootings. |
SO first off, I think this is absolutely appalling behaviour on Anderson Coopers part, while families are grieving for their loved ones, he thinks it’s the time to question people about the past, instead of actually getting things done. |
This is the time for pulling together as a community, because that’s all that LGBTQ+ has ever been about. Being a community, and yet he insists on starting arguments with people, what benefit is to be had from having a petty argument with a politician. |
But lemme know what you think, I just really don’t think it’s the right time for things like this right now. |
So as you know I’ve been gone a few weeks, this is due to the evil exam and Coursework pressure that us teens are subjected to at this already perilous time of our lives. So I thought I’d give you a little update on what I’ve been doing! in list format, because I love lists. |
I made synthetic dreadlocks, wore them for a day in town, and took them out. from right to left, Lewis, Me, and Louis. |
These were a pretty fun fixture to have in my hair, but they were too uncomfortable to sleep in, so I had them in the night before and took them out the next evening to avoid further damage to my scalp being pulled in strange and exacerbating directions. |
So pretty ram packed, mainly due to my media writeups which I should be doing right now, but I don’t want to, so there’s not much I can do about that I’m afraid, Mr Woodhams, It’ll get done before the deadline, chill your beans, dude. |
But I want you all to know I plan on blogging a lot more now, even though google tells me Blogging isn’t word, but neither is Google apparently, so I guess Spelling and Grammar aren’t really their priorities. |
Solar power is a source of energy that seems almost too good to be true. It’s there nearly every day, shining down on you and your home and it just seems like it’s all going to waste. Why not simultaneously cut your reliance on dirty non-renewables and become energy independent? |
Well, the main reasons why most people let solar power go to waste is because solar systems are somewhat complex, work-intensive and expensive to install. While the idea of lowering or eliminating energy bills will appeal to anyone, the idea of spending tens of thousands of dollars up front and having to wait years to ... |
But solar power doesn’t have to be such an intimidating proposition. Solar panels are dropping in price, and manufacturers are building comprehensive systems that make it easier for homeowners to outfit their homes themselves. Before you run out and buy a pallet full of solar panels, though, there are a few important e... |
As with anything, it’s easy to overlook the little factors when tackling a project of this magnitude. If you intend to invest the money and time into building a solar system for your home, you’ll want your solar energy to power your home as efficiently as possible. Increasing your general home energy efficiency may see... |
This is a whole topic on its own, so we won’t get into all the details, but a few ways of increasing efficiency include replacing old, inefficient appliances with new, greener ones; fully weatherproofing your doors and windows; and outfitting your home with energy efficient lighting. The more efficient your home is, th... |
You’ll also want to know how much energy that you use for your home each day or month. This way, you can build a system to tackle all or a fixed percentage of your needs. You can either refer the past 12 months of your electricity bill to identify the average number of kilowatt-hours or contact your electricity provide... |
Perhaps the most fundamental thing that you’ll need for installing a solar cell system is the space to do it. That doesn’t just mean free yard or roof space, but free yard or roof space that isn’t shaded or obstructed by trees, buildings, other houses, etc. You’ll want the area to be clear for most or all of the day so... |
If you live in the woods or have numerous obstructions shading your property throughout the day, solar power might not be the best type of renewable power source, and you may want to look into other options like wind or fuel cells. On the other hand, if you have ample yard or roof space that gets direct sunlight throug... |
An important factor to consider at the city level is any local zoning and permit regulations that could either restrict your system or add to the installation process. Check with your local zoning board and city permitting office to find out more about your local obligations. |
Geographic areas are not created equally when it comes to solar power. Mentally compare the baking desert of southern Arizona with the soaking Pacific Northwest coast and you’ll realize that some areas were all but created to be solar farms while others seem like they’ll leave you in the dark. Don’t get discouraged, th... |
