Fats and Carbohydrates has a bad reputation within the diet world, but fats and carbs are necessary for a healthy diet. Brown rice and whole grain bread with lots of vegetables, will provide the best sources of the carbs, that your body needs for its main fuel. The body burns carbs quicker than fat, so fats maintain a stable blood glucose level. The main building blocks for healthy cholesterol is fats. The job of cholesterol is to keep neutotransmitter and brain functions running smoothly. As much as possible, choose whole foods, whole grains, raw fruit, unsalted nuts and seeds for your health. Try not to use processed foods, because whole foods take longer to digest, which gives you a feeling of fullness longer. Fats and carbs, in moderation, will help your diet, not hurt it.

The Henry family,  set out on the ultimate sailing adventure. They set sail on July, 2009 aboard a 1978 Morris Leigh 30- foot sailboat, named Hook. Kirsten and  Steve, (highschool sweethearts),  wanted to give their two daughters, Emma, 9,  and Maddie, 6, a better-than-books education, as they traveled from Maine to Florida and beyond. One year turned into two and they are still at sea. Steve said, "you don't need a crystal ball to know that kids grow up fast. by going on this trip, I knew I'd never regret not spending enough time with them." Steve has been sailing since he was a teenager. They had bought the boat in 2005 and had been fixing it up for this journey. Kirsten was working as a physical therapist and Steve was a boatyard manager. The safety of the girls was their first priority. They stayed close to the shoreline and anchored every night near shore, to explore the local town, whenever possible. They have seen a lot of towns that they like and both parents home school the girls. After the girls go to bed, Kirsten and Steve have parents "quiet time," while relaxing, updating their blog, reading, playing guitar, or knitting. "We believe that learning to live and work together is conducive to a long happy life together," Steve says.

Tackle like leaders, sinkers, swivels, hooks and lures is called Rig by anglers. There is approximately five different fairly simple rigs used in fishing and are used in specific types of fishing. Anglers know that feeding fish use sight, sound, vibration and smell to find their next meal. This means that you can improve your chances for catching a fish by using a rig that stimulates these senses. One of the most common fishing rig is still those found on boats, shore, bridges or piers. The bait and size of hooks depend on what you are fishing for. If you are fishing from a boat, the speed of the boat, determines the depth of the bait. If you drag it across the bottom and stir up clouds of sand or mud, that will help trigger a bite.

Grace Bell was the first bride to wear the imported Belguim antique duchess lace veil, in 1919, when she wed Annis McLean in Wisconsin. The veil has been worn in Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, St. Petersburg, Tampa and Sarasota. Kelly Odom will be the 20th bride, who will marry Grace Bell's great grandson in November. Annis was bride number 4, she was daughter to Grace and married a coast guards man named Thomas Fluharty, in St. Petersburg in 1946. Thomas wore his uniform to the wedding. After Thomas died in 1978, Annis made arrangement to move the 1914 Episcopal chapel from Safety Harbor to Ellenton. The wooden chapel was named after St. Thomas and dedicated to her departed husband, therefore, she wanted it close to the family. Between weddings, Annis De Brigard, 86, bride number four, to Thomas Fluharty, is the keeper of the veil. She stores it in a pillow case in her St. Petersburg home. The veil has weathered many storms, such as dry cleaning, which turned it from pale yellow to white, drying on the lawn, and being left in a bar. Through all that, the tradition means a lot to these women. The tradition is a good one, only two of the 17 brides were divorced. That's an 89% winning average.
