International Sushi Day, In the News, Juicing for Life, and Enjoy
International Sushi Day - Today is International Sushi Day! In the News - They walk among us! Juicing for Life - Laura and I are following a modified juice fast: We have one meal a day of solid foodfresh vegetables and lean chicken breast, fish, etc. The balance of the daily meals are juice meals. We are Juicing for Life! Enjoy - Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
Sushi really has nothing to do with raw fish. It refers to the vinegar-seasoned rice used in making what we refer to as sushi.
There are a great many types of sushi. Nigiri is made from forming a handful of rice into a mound, and placing a piece of seafood over the top. Maki rolls are made from wrapping sushi rice and various fillings inside a seaweed wrapper.
Maki rolls have many variations in Western society. For example, the "California Roll" is made with avocado, imitation crab, and cucumber. There is also the inside-out California Roll that has the rice on the outside. The "Philadelphia Roll" has smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber. the "Texas Roll" has tuna, avocado, cucumber, and is rolled in crushed French fried onions.
Sashimi is simply slices of raw fishoften salmon or tuna.
And that little mound of green paste next to your sushi? That is wasabi. It is good!
As you may recall, we were inspired by a movie, Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead that documented the juice-fasting program of Joe Cross. We visited his Web site, Reboot with Joe and became determined to follow his lead. The results have been incredible. We have experienced renewed energy, increased awareness and mental acumen, weight loss, and
increased good health.

Leave the Office Early Day, Juicing, and Enjoy
Leave the Office Early Day - Today is Leave the Office Early Day! In the News - They walk among us! Juicing - Yesterday, Laura and I began a juicing program that will significantly increase our health level, renew our strength, and greatly enhance our lives! Enjoy - Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
Leave The Office Early Day was the invention of Laura Stack, a specialist in employee productivity.
Time is money, and the more quickly things are done, the more productive, and profitable, a business will be.
Inflexible working hours can have a significantly negative effect on employee productivity. Leave the Office Early Day is an incentive for employees to complete tasks before schedulethereby increasing efficiency and productivity.
Leave The Office Early Day can result in a sense of commonality among the stratified workforce.
The effect is to create a sense of empathy between co-workers, whatever position they occupy in the workplace hierarchy, which leads to greater co-operation. Higher levels of co-operation in the workplace may lead to increased productivity.
More work done in less time is beneficial to the business seeking private gain or to society or humanity at large. Leave The Office Early Day advances the quest for maximum productivity.
Laura has taken control of our health by studying several books and a good many online resources. She shopped yesterday for ingredients from which to make juice "meals" for this week. She has introduced a system whereby she juices all our mealsfollowing guidelines and recipes her studies have provided.
We began this program yesterday, and already I am beginning to feel the healthful effects! This is an exciting adventure, and I praise Laura for taking charge and producing the wonderful juices we are enjoying!
Many years ago, I bought a Champion Commercial juice extractor. Laura pressed it into service, and she is creating wonderful juices with it!

End of the Middle Ages Day, In the News, Enjoy, and Juicing
End of the Middle Ages Day - Today is End of the Middle Ages Day! In the News - They walk among us! Enjoy - Relax and enjoy these images and videos! Juicing - Laura and I shall begin a juicing regimen Saturday.
May 29, 1453 is considered by many historians to be the end of the Middle Ages and the Beginning of the Renaissance.
On this day, the city of Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire after being under siege for almost two months.
Because of the fall of Constantinople, the Byzantine (Greek) scholars migrated away from Constantinople. It had been their political center. This scattering encouraged studies of Greek culture outside of the Byzantine Empire and began a revival of learning based on classical Greek sources. This was the beginning of the Renaissance.
