Mother Russia

It has come to my attention that there is Russians following this blog. WELCOME! You too can be a student in the School of Petrology as we do offer it be correspondence. You will find our course Anti-Romantic 101 is the most popular. Anti-Chivalrous 103 is also becoming quite popular. Possibly because chivalry is dead as Chuck Norris killed it. If you don't have a problem with it, write Dear Abby. Even when Dear Abby needs advice, she writes to Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris also supports Ron Paul

I like this story

Makarios the Great of Egypt Reading from the Synaxarion: Saint Makarios the Great was from the Thebaid of Egypt, a disciple, as some say, of Saint Anthony the Great. He was born about 331 and struggled in asceticism in the desert at Scete. Although young, he was called "the child elder" because of his great wisdom and austere manner of life. He was ordained presbyter and reposed in 391, at the age of sixty. There are fifty homilies ascribed to him. It is said of Saint Makarios that he became as a God upon earth, for even as God protects the whole world, so did he cover the faults he saw as if he did not see them. Once he came back to his cell to find a thief taking his things and loading them on a camel. Makarios's non-possessiveness was so great that he helped the thief load the camel. When the camel refused to rise, Makarios returned to his cell and brought a small hoe, said that the camel wanted the hoe also, loaded it on, and kicked the camel telling it to get up. The camel obeyed Makarios's command, but soon lay down again, and would not move until everything had been returned to Makarios. His contemporary, Saint Makarios of Alexandria, was so called because he came from Alexandria and was therefore of that Greek-speaking colony; while Saint Makarios the Great is also called "of Egypt," that is, he belonged to the ancient race native to Egypt, the Copts.

How to make Feta Cheese? Tim Tebow sleeps and dreams

People, I love to eat my Feta with everything/  Tim Tebow sticks his head in Feta before he plays an NFL game.  After a rough and competitive game, most players take a shower.  Tim Tebow sits in a barrel of Feta Cheese.

This is funny....They should make a game out of this

There will be a small series of each monastery from the Holy Mountain....Coming soon

I love Sushi....Eatin a lot of Food is not the greatest idea



Like many Asian foods, when it is prepared traditionally, sushi is in fact very good for you. The basic elements of sushi are vinegared rice, dried seaweed nori, vegetables, and fish. Traditional sushi is low in calories while also high in fiber, vitamins, and omega-3 acids. When eaten in moderation, sushi can be a healthy and delicious meal, especially when supplemented with interesting sides to tempt the palate.
The important thing to remember when eating sushi is that, like all foods, when eaten in excess it is not very healthy. The fresh, nutritious ingredients are not calorie free, although they are low in calories. Especially in the West, sushi is often made with fatty fish and vegetables like fried fish, eel, and avocado. In small amounts, these fats are actually good for you: in large servings, they are not. Sushi encourages dainty eating and small portions, because of the way in which it is prepared and served. Stick with traditional Japanese sushi, rather than Westernized versions with things like cream cheese in them, and enjoy your healthy meal.
Working from the outside of the roll in, sushi starts with nori, dried toasted seaweed. Nori is fat free and contains several vitamins including A and B. While a lot of nori would have to be consumed for these to be noticeable in your diet, nori certainly isn't very harmful. The rice used for sushi is also relatively healthy, especially if the rice used is brown. Rice is high in fiber, and it is often enriched with vitamins and minerals.
The filling for the sushi is where the nutritional information gets more complicated. Fish tends to be healthier than meats, with a lower fat content and an assortment of nutritionally valuable vitamins and minerals, along with omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty fish like tuna has more of these valuable acids, and also tastes delicious. The vegetables used in sushi provide dietary fiber and vitamins to the consumer.
Given available information about sushi nutrition, it is generally good for you. Sushi combines healthy fats with fiber and vitamins to provide a complete meal. The ingredients in sushi have also been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and arterial clogging, so the dish can actually benefit the diner. Especially if you refrain from excessive sake consumption along with your sushi, the dish will fall in line with most diets without needing to be altered beyond recognition, like many “diet foods” are. Sushi with raw fish should not be consumed by pregnant women or those with immune system problems, and people concerned about mercury in fish may want to order more vegetable rolls.

Can Water Help you lose Weight?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is commonly used to determine weight problems in adult. It’s calculated by dividing weight in kilogram by height square in meters (weight (kg)/ [height (m)]2). For adults above or equal to 20 years of age, normal BMI values lies between 18.5 to 24.9. Athletes with muscle mass may normally have values higher than 24.9(1).

There are so many ways to lose weight that one can write an encyclopedia on it. One way is to drink sufficient water. Be aware that too much water could lead to electrolyte problems in the body (2). The Institute of Medicine advises that healthy men consume roughly 3.7 liters of total water (from all beverages and food) a day and healthy women consume 2.7 liters of total water a day (3).

How Drinking Water Helps Lose Weight?


1. Drinking plain water increases energy expenditure and rate of fat breakdown (4).
2. Replacing caloric beverages with drinking water lowers total energy intake by eliminating beverage calories (5).

Weight Loss Study

In a study, drinking approx 1 liter of plain water over 12 months caused 5 lb weight loss(6). Experiment has shown that 500 ml of drinking water leads to 100 kJ of energy loss (7). So 1 liter/day for 365 days would lead to 73000 kJ (2 x 100 x 365) of energy loss. 1 dietary calorie is equal to 4.2 kJ. Therefore, 73000 kJ would be equal to 17380.95 Calorie (73000/4.2). 1 gm of fat is equal to 9 dietary calories. So, 17380.95 dietary calories translates to 1931.21 gm (17380.95/9) of fat. This is approx 2kg or 5 lb of fat. In this study, weight loss effect of diet, and changes in other beverage intake, the amount and composition of foods consumed and physical activity was controlled. Thus, plain drinking water helps lose weight independent of all other ways of weight loss.

It's a blog for the rest of us

The Great Schism: Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism However, as early as the fourth century A.D., there were cultural, sociological, political and linguistic differences between the Christians of Eastern and Western Europe which eventually led to separation in the Church. The Eastern Christians spoke Greek where the Western Christians spoke Latin. Where the Eastern Church's administration was governed by a group of bishops (i.e., Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem) which shared a common language and cultural background, the Western Church's administration was governed by a single bishop: the bishop of Rome. All these factors led to some basic theological differences between the Orthodox Church of the East and West. Unfortunately, by the eleventh century A.D. the differences between East and West became great enough to cause a separation of the One Holy Orthodox Catholic Church. The Eastern Church became known as the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Western Church became know as the Roman Catholic Church, for it was governed and administered by the bishop or Pope of Rome. Again it must be emphasized that there were many factors besides theological ones which led to the schism of the one Christian Church. However, some theological issues which were promulgated by the Western Church were never and are not to this very day accepted by the Eastern Church such as: the infallibility of the Pope of Rome on matters of Church doctrine, the universal jurisdictional authority of the Pope of Rome, the doctrine of Purgatory, the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary, the unauthorized addition of "and the Son" to the eighth article of the Nicene

this is life: the best from the rest of us

I love this quote and here it goes: "Should we look to kings and princes to put right the inequalities between rich and poor?  Should we require soldiers to come and seize the rich person’s gold, and distribute it among his destitute neighbors?  Should we beg the Emperor to impose a tax on the rich so great that it reduces them to the level of the poor, and then to share the proceeds of that tax among everyone?  Equality imposed by force would achieve nothing, and do much harm.  Those who combined both cruel hearts and sharp minds would soon find ways of making themselves rich again.  Worse still, the rich - whose gold was taken away - would feel bitter and resentful; while the poor - who received the gold from the hands of soldiers - would feel no gratitude, because no generosity would have prompted the gift.  Far from bringing moral benefit to society, it would actually do moral harm.  Material justice cannot be accomplished by compulsion, a change of heart will not follow.  The only way to achieve true justice is to change people’s hearts first—and then they will joyfully share their wealth."                      St. John Chrysostom (+407)
