My Blog World Expo New York Hero: Lynette Young @lynetteradio

Lynette Young had a great idea for Blog World Expo New York. She decided to create a Podcasting Pavilion where people could gather to learn from each other. Lynette explains it:

The Podcasting Pavilion presented by Social Media Club local chapters hosted at BlogWorld and New Media Expo was created to act as a BoF (Birds of a Feather) discussion and conversation hub for podcasters (and people interested in what podcasting is & it can do).

I love this idea. Thanks Lynette for including me in this experiment. Over the course of two to three hours I met a lot of people, talked about video on the web, gave some advice, did some interviews, made some videos, and just had a great time.

Thanks Lynette for making it happen.

Sam Adams Light has a New Label Design

I get it, lighthouse = light.

Did you notice that this seems to be the only beer not called 'Samuel' Adams?

Updated Note:
Is that Paul Revere or Sam Adams on the label?

Gigantic Goldfish Surfaces at Jamaica Pond

While walking Jamaica Pond this morning a huge 'goldfish' surfaced. A darker fish was also swimming along with it.

Did someone drop a little goldfish in the pond years ago?

QR Code for this post:



Update from a reader:

I just saw your short video on the goldfish at Jamaica Pond. Just a heads up, it's an albino common carp. Common carp are found in most if not all Boston ponds and rivers, they were introduced from Asia back in the 1800's. Right now they're starting their breeding season so you'll see them in groups along the edges of ponds and rivers. Standard issue common carp is a dark olive color that appears almost black when you see them from above. Every once in a while you will see a large goldfish (that someone released) in Boston waters but their color will look more orange like a carrot and they usually have long flowing fins compared to a carp's compact fins.

FEELING BLOATED

FEELING BLOATED

I have had a few clients lately who have said there feeling bloated, you often here people say that so what can you do about bloating?

A wheat-free diet is when you cut out all products that are made from wheat and wheat flour (eg. Bread); it is not the same as a gluten-free diet. Wheat-free diets only require that you cut out wheat products, however gluten-free diets mean that you cut out all wheat, oats, barley and rye, because these foods contain gluten.

The benefit of cutting wheat out of your diet is that it can have a huge impact on your weight and the way you feel. The reason for this is that wheat often has a number of problems associated with it. The biggest problem is that because wheat is in so many products we tend to eat way too much of it; and when we eat too much of a particular food we are in danger of developing a food intolerance. That’s why wheat and dairy are the most common triggers for food intolerances.

I use to suffer from bad ear infections; every 3 months with out fail I would develop one. For years I went to specialist tried all kinds of cures Then I started dieting for competition and cut out wheat and dairy, For the first time in 3 years I didn’t develop an ear infection   

Eating a particular food too often can cause the digestive enzymes to be overwhelmed and therefore that particular food is not digested properly. This happens most commonly with foods that are not particularly easy to digest, which is the category of foods that wheat and dairy fall in to.

So, how does cutting out wheat help you to lose weight? Well, when we eat a food that we have become intolerant to, such as wheat, it causes bloating and water retention and makes us appear overweight. So when we cut out that food the bloating and water retention go down. 

Another reason is that eating foods we are intolerant to affects our ability to digest foods properly and poor digestion causes constipation (which means we are not getting rid of waste products). When this happens, the toxin levels in our body rise and the liver stores these toxins in our fat cells. As the toxin levels continue to rise, extra fat cells are created and maintained to assist with storage of toxins. 

So, when we cut out the food we are intolerant to, our toxin levels fall and are no longer needed to be stored in the fat cells.

You have to remember that Stone Age man didn't eat wheat. It was introduced only 10,000 years ago with the cultivation of crops. Which is relatively recent compared to the diet of millions of years ago, which our bodies are better adapted to - nuts, berries, fruits. We overdose on wheat and end up eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner - toast, sandwiches, and pizza. It's too much.

Here are a few tips if you would like to try cutting back wheat

Step 1

Write up a wheat-free meal plan for one week. Include proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables. The less processed food the better. Processed food can contain hidden wheat. Do not include breads or pasta in your meals.

Step 2

Make a shopping list based on your meal plans. Divide the list into sections, such as meats and fruits.

Step 3

Go shopping and read the labels of any processed foods. Reading labels on food allows you to see any products that contain wheat. Look through the ingredients on each label, and put anything with wheat back on the shelf.

Step 4

Tell the server at the restaurant, that you want to avoid wheat. This will make the chef aware of the problem. The restaurant crew can advise you on the best choices to avoid wheat.

Be aware wheat does contain many vitamins so make sure your getting enough of these.

Some Cold, Hard, Inconvenient Truths

A photographer wrote to me today and said he's seriously considering quitting shooting altogether. He asked me for any advice I might have regarding what he's doing wrong. He wonders if his work is "just shit?" He's curious why people (make that people who might pay him for his work) don't give him respect and if that's why nobody ever offers to pay him for his photography. He can't understand

Mara is the great-granddaughter of Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney, Sr. and New York Giants founder Tim Mara. Her paternal grandfather, Wellington Mara, was the long-time co-owner of the Giants, succeeded by her uncle, John Mara. Her maternal grandfather, Tim Rooney, has run Yonkers Raceway in Yonkers, New York since 1972. is the grand-niece of Daniel Rooney, chairman of the Steelers, the United States Ambassador to Ireland, and the co-founder of The Ireland Funds charitable organization.

Mara was inspired to act by going to see musical theatre and by watching old movies, like Gone with the Wind (1939), Rebecca (1940), and Bringing Up Baby (1938), with her mother. She also wanted to be like her older sister, Kate Mara, a professional actress. Mara resisted pursuing acting as a child, stating to The Journal News that "it never seemed that honorable to me, and I guess I was always afraid that I might fail." She won the role of Juliet, in Romeo and Juliet, after being signed up to audition by a friend, and acted in a few student films while at NYU. Mara then began pursuing a career in acting.

Early life and discovery
Anne Vyalitsyna was born in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod, formerly called Gorky. Both of her parents are physicians. Her father is a sports doctor for a soccer team and her mother is a pediatrician. Anne started her professional modeling career at the age of 15, after IMG Models scouts saw her in Saint Petersburg while looking for new faces for MTV's Fashionably Loud Europe. She entered the contest and she won their modeling contest along with a contract with IMG Paris and, later, IMG New York.
Career
Within six months of her win, Vyalitsyna had appeared for Anna Molinari, Chloé and Sportmax. She has appeared on the covers of Vogue, ELLE, Glamour and Gloss, in the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues and she is featured in the music video for 'Out Is Through' by Alanis Morissette, 'Misery' and Never Gonna Leave This Bed by Maroon 5. Vyalitsyna has worked with acclaimed photographers Steven Meisel, Terry Richardson, Patrick Demarchelier and Ellen von Unwerth, among others, and is now signed with One Model Management. "I've wanted to be a model ever since I was little, playing with my Barbie doll," she told The Age. "It helped (for the catwalk) that I can dance but everything is self-taught." She also had the honor to walk in the 2008 and 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. In addition to working with world class photographers on her Sports Illustrated shoots, she was the object/subject of Joanne Gair body painting works in the 2005 edition.
