<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Rib-Cage Reach</u></span></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Helps stretch and lengthen the sides of the body, opening up the muscles around the solar plexus. Stand with feet 2 to 3 feet apart, toes turned slightly out and knees bent. Extend arms to your sides. Keep your shoulders down. Inhale, and then exhale as you reach right with your arm and rib cage. Inhale as you come to center, and then reach left as you exhale. Repeat 16 times (eight on each side).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Toe Reach</span></u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Works the upper portion of the abdominal muscles, building heat and strength in the solar plexus. Start on your back. Lift your legs straight up. Breathe in. Lift your shoulder blades and reach your right arm up and across toward your left foot as you exhale (your other arm should be relaxed, but not resting on the floor). Inhale as you come back down to start, with shoulder blades still raised.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Exhale as you reach your left arm toward your right foot. Keep your hips still. Alternate arms for 20 counts.</div>

<u><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Quiet Your Mind: Solar Plexus Meditation</strong></span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quiets your mind and hones your focus so you are fully present in this workout. Because the solar plexus is associated with the third chakra, you focus on the color yellow, which is linked to this energy center of the body and believed to inspire confidence, will, and personal power. Lie back in Corpse pose, palms facing up. Picture a yellow flower, its petals fully open, at your solar plexus. With eyes closed, imagine it floating up with each inhalation and down with each exhalation, riding a slow, gentle wave. Focus on your breath and the flower for two to five minutes.</div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Fish Pose</u></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Releases and opens the solar plexus; also opens the body and facilitates breathing. This pose gives you the invigorating experience of a back bend without an actual back bend. By countering the ab contraction from the prior exercise, this pose helps to open and stretch the core muscles while relieving tension. Start by lying on a mat. Sit up on your elbows, bringing hands underneath your buttocks, palms down. Slowly arch your back, pressing your weight into your elbows and buttocks (not your head), until the crown of your head touches the ground. Breathe through your nose, with eyes open, for 30 to 60 seconds.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Pilates Saw</u></strong></span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: justify;">
Aligns the body and helps with posture; strengthens and stretches the back muscles, also pivotal to core strength. With your feet 3 to 4 feet apart and slightly turned out, extend arms to the sides at shoulder level. Take a breath; on the exhalation twist your torso to the left, and then reach down and across to your left foot. Inhale as you return to center and repeat on the other side, being careful not to round your back. Alternate right and left. Repeat sequence 10 times (five on each side).</div>

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Hula-Hoop</span></u></strong></center>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using a Hula-Hoop may seem like child's play, but it requires coordination, drawing on all the dynamic muscles of your core, particularly ones you don't regularly use. Stand with your feet firmly on the ground and the Hula-Hoop around your waist. With the hoop up against your back and your hands holding on to the sides, throw the hoop to the right and catch it with your hips, rotating your hips to keep the hoop circling high around your waist. Aim to keep the hoop going for about three minutes. And have fun!</div>

“It’s one of the most versatile pieces of equipment you’ll find outside the gym,” says Jenna Speicher, a personal trainer at the Grand Del Mar resort, in San Diego. “Plus, every playground has one.” Most of us probably run or walk by a dozen benches every day without even thinking about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Look for a bench that’s stable and not too high,”Speicher says.“Most park benches are ideal.” Rainy day? A sturdy living room ottoman makes a fine backup. Speicher designed this bench-based routine, which takes advantage of body weight to both elevate heart rate and provide a total-body workout. Try the 20-minute series of exercises a few times a week to get your body into starting shape.</div>

One place that I would like to visit is Seattle. It is definetly a change from Texas. The thought of getting away to an unknown place sounds even better when I think of going with someone special. I like the idea of being in a new city where I can wonder the streets and hang out at local coffee-shops. Someday I will get to Seattle.</div>

<strong><u>Portland </u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Flying Fish Company (pictured). Once just a roaming truck, now a seafood shack adjoining a produce market as well, Flying Fish has existed in some form since 1979. Today, Lyf (pronounced “leaf”) Gildersleeve runs his own branch of his father’s Idaho company with a commitment to good sources. Fish like Oregon albacore tuna and halibut cheeks are fresh right off the boat, never frozen. Our pick: Live Oregon razor clams, along with Gildersleeve’s tips on how to prepare them. 2310 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd.; <a href="http://flyingfishcompany.com/">flyingfishcompany.com</a></div>

Taylor Shellfish at Melrose Market. No one knows oysters like Taylor, Washington’s premier producer. At the Seattle storefront, which doubles as an oyster bar, shopping is often more show-and-taste than pick-and-pay. They also carry live mussels, scallops, clams, and crabs. Our pick: A few dozen small, jewel-like Kumamotos. That gorgeous frilly edge makes them the perfect appetizer. 1521 Melrose Ave.; <a href="http://taylormelrose.com/">taylormelrose.com</a></div>

Do you ever wish you could give up your day job and just do something totally different. There are times that the day seems to throw things into the mix and gets my footing off kilter. Well today is one of those days. I wish I could leave the office politics behind and enjoy a the aroma of sweet pastries in the oven. My hope would be to find tranquility and happiness, with a mix of creativity to brighten my day. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><strong><u>Culver City </u></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Platine Bakery. The cookies stacked in this tiny bakery span the spectrum. There are classics (chocolate chip, Mexican wedding), but take a chance on pastry chef/owner Jamie Cantor’s flights of whimsy (kalamata olive–dark chocolate chip). At just a dollar apiece, you can bring home a dozen or two for a dinner-party dessert tasting. Our pick: The platino, a fluffy sandwich cookie oozing rich vanilla cream filling. It’ll ruin you for run-of-the-mill Oreos forever. 10850 Washington Blvd.; <a href="http://platinecookies.com/">platinecookies.com</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><strong><u><em>Los Angeles </em></u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Proof Bakery (pictured). This place feels likes the heart of the Atwater Village neighborhood. The morning rush comes for black sesame financiers; in the afternoon, it’s the flourless chocolate torte topped with cocoa nibs. Our pick: A buttery croque monsieur tartine on fresh-baked brioche. 3156 Glendale Blvd.; <a href="http://proofbakeryla.com/">proofbakeryla.com</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><strong><em><u>Pacific Beach </u></em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sugar & Scribe Bakery. In a hipster-meets-surfer neighborhood, Maeve Schulz’s bakery is a charmingly Old World surprise. You’ll be greeted at the door by her pug before entering a haven of cupcakes and quiche, scones, and soda bread—served on delicate Irish dishes. Our pick: Schulz’s dense, buttery Guinness Porter Cake, spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and packed with raisins and cherries. 1420 Garnet Ave.; <a href="http://sugarandscribe.com/">sugarandscribe.com</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><strong><em><u>Santa Monica </u></em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
La Monarca Bakery. For real-deal Mexican sweet pan dulce, grab a metal tray and tongs and serve yourself the traditional way. Everything in the bakery—from dulce de leche–filled croissants to vegetarian chorizo molletes (open-face sandwiches)—is made with all-natural ingredi-ents, including dairy and eggs from California, and guava, agave nectar, and organic coffee from Mexico. Our pick: A light and creamy caramel flan. 1300 Wilshire Blvd. (also in Commerce and Huntington Park); <a href="http://lamonarcabakery.com/">lamonarcabakery.com</a></div>

</center>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gorgeous foods are very much apart of my Latin culture. We have a passion for spices and flavors that are bold and fierce. The diversity of foods in the Latin culture are vast and colorful. The foods differ from regions, yet they all have on commonality; bold flavors. From simple dishes made in the average Hispanic kitchen to elaborate 5 star restaurants in LA or Miami, there are endless versions of the traditional nacho bowl. Make a basic dish of these nacho bowls including chicken in a spicy sauce, tortilla chips, lettuce, and a squeeze of lime. </div>

This dish softens the chiles' heat with raisins, nuts, spices, and a slightly sweet tomato sauce. <br />
To experience chile season in New Mexico, you could head to the Hatch Valley, near Las Cruces. The world's single-largest chile crop ― about 18,000 acres ― is grown in the fertile valleys of southern New Mexico, and the annual <a class="related_links" href="http://www.hatchchilefest.com/" target="_new">Hatch Chile Festival</a> draws about 30,000 heat-seekers every Labor Day weekend.<br />

I started a new health revolution on January 27, 2012. A lot has changed since then, starting with appreciation I now have for the life I have been given. To life an unhealthy life by choice is simply foolish and irresponsible. Today I choose to take care of myself, my body, and my emotions. I want to be sure that I do my part in maintaining a healthy body that will sustain my life and give hope to my family. I don't want to be careless about my meal choices or exercise regiment. I want to lead by example and follow people who mentor my way. It is my hope that I will be around to see the grandchildren I might have some day. This world is majestic and I want to experience it. When we choose to be strong, we are saying to God that we embrace his blessings. To be happy starts within us and our inner self manifests outward. Today I choose to be Strong, Healthy, and Happy.</div>

</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A staple for autumn festivities, the pumpkin makes its way into a multitude of dishes this time of year. Enjoy this versatile squash while it's fresh—the flavor is vastly superior to canned. To select, look for pumpkins that are small, about 5 to 8 pounds, with tough skin. They are prized for their concentrated flavor and sweetness. <a href="http://www.cookinglight.com/food/in-season/fall-produce-guide-00412000077334/page11.html" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">source</span></a></div>

<strong><span style="color: #990000;">It's that time again! Back to school shopping is the only thing on our agenda for this coming weekend. I think I enjoy it more than my daughter. We have so much fun at the mall and boutique shops are our historic town. My daughter Gina is a senior in high school, so the look is mature and preppy. She likes the romantic look of laces and floral. My baby girl is grown-up now and I'm going to make the most of it.</span></strong> </div>

I remember when I was young watching my father in the kitchen canning hot peppers. Being Hispanic meant that hot chili peppers were essential at every meal. My dad loved many different varieties of peppers, like jalapenos, serranos, chili pequin, and so many others. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It seems like it was just yesterday that I was walking in the house and being confronted by the strong aroma of boiling peppers. The aroma hit like a strong heat to my eyes, my nose, and quickly to the back of my throat. As a kid it was yucky, but now it's a wonderful memory. He took such delicate care in making sure everything was perfect through out the canning process. He would blend some of the peppers in to a salsa base. Others he would leave whole, which was a perfect finger food at kitchen table. The pantry cabinets were fulled with bottles of canned peppers, and there were always opened bottles chilling in the refrigerator. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My father passed away several years ago and I wish I could go back in time to learn the canning process from him. I wish I would have sat there with him as he proudly and loving worked with his beloved peppers. There is so many things I would do if I could turn back time.</div>

Canning to preserve the summer</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to eat locally ― and eat well ― year-round, can your own fresh fruit and vegetables. That’s what Kelli Glazier of Palo Alto, California, and her book club decided they’d do last summer after reading <i>Animal, Vegetable, Miracle</i> by Barbara Kingsolver, inspired by the author’s account of preserving the glut of tomatoes and other summer produce from her farm.<br /><br />"We wanted to support our local farmers, buy as much pro-duce as we could, and can all day ― like in the old days, making food for the winter," Glazier explains.<br /><br />None of the four friends had canned before, but they jumped in and learned together. "It was so much fun," says Glazier. By the end of their first day, they had transformed boxes of produce into gleaming jars, and everyone got to take some home. <span style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><a href="http://www.sunset.com/food-wine/techniques/how-to-can-fruits-vegetables-00400000046919/" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: yellow;">source</span></a></div>

My son Vinny is the sunshine of my life. He attends the University of Texas in Austin where he majors in Government and a minor in Communications. He just came back last week from Washington DC where he spent the summer working as a political intern. He is moving in to his new apartment this weekend. You should see my house, his boxes and furniture all over the place. We have been storing his stuff since the summer when he moved out of his dorm. I'm so ready for the my place to get back to normal. I love my son and I'm going to miss him, but I'm not going to miss the clutter. Thursday evening we went to dinner at the Gristmill, a restaurant near our home in Gruene. They have delicious salads that are served in huge platters. The three of us shared 2 grilled chicken Caesar salads, and we still have left-overs. I loved it when I started to annoy my kids by taking pictures during the meal. Gotta love them!!</div>

Your best body. The dream job. Whatever you want most you make it happen. Your happy life starts here, today. How you feel about your body affects your outlook on the world. Learn more about how your body image and self-concept can help -- or hinder -- your self-esteem. Be a Cardio Queen. Just one 45-minute high-intensity workout can help increase your RMR by 37 percent for up to 14 hours post-exercise. As you age, you start to lose some muscle mass. Lifting weights helps you maintain and build on what you have, so your metabolism stays high. Losing weight and diets can be hard. But they don’t have to be if you have healthy diet plans available to help you decide which weight loss plan is right for you. Regular snacking is vital to a healthy and active lifestyle. Fitness-friendly snacks should be quick, delicious, and balanced to satisfy your exercise and nutrition needs. Active women should aim for snacks in the 100- to 200-calorie range and up to two snacks a day between meals to keep your energy levels steady all day long.</div>
