Man Sewing: FMQ: Square & Arc 8:10
Hey all you jazz fans out there.
It's another fantastic free motion quilting motif.
This one is great for the modern quilts.
Let's get started.
I'm often challenged when it comes to coming up with cool motifs to put into modern quilts.
I love the way modern quilts are quilted a lot of times in the background.
But I wanted to think of something that would look kind of architectural.
So check this out.
This is the block and arc design.
It is very very simple and it allows you to double back so you don't get quilted into
a corner.
Follow along, so in the description below right next to that subscribe button of course
is the free printable.
And this will show you how to do these.
Now the little hash marks here are arrows for motion.
So you would start right up here.
And then you're going to come down and make your square first.
When I get to the end of the square then I make an arcing shape.
And that usually hits somewhere along the other edge.
It doesn't have to hit in the middle.
And then from there that starts the next block or square and then the arc.
So one of the things I often recommend with these kinds of printables, if you haven't
done much with free motion machine quilting take out a sharpie marker, or a pencil, something
that's going to glide nicely over paper and draw over the free printables a few times.
That starts to ingrain that motor memory so that you can then perform it when you get
to your sewing machine.
So I literally drew it just a few times.
And this is the very first time I stitched it out.
You can see it probably could use a little bit of structure.
There's some wobbly little arcs and things in there.
But quilting is just that.
The more organic it looks I think the more we appreciate the quilting.
Form it that way.
So again here the blocks.
You can see some of these areas where you can double back in.
The thread gets a little thick so you don't want to do it too many times.
But let me see if I can't show you how to do this on one of our little samples here.
So we're coming to the machine.
And I do have on some Machinger's gloves which help my fabric slide, excuse me help
me grip my fabric very nicely.
And then I've got the Sew Slip mat underneath which also helps the fabric move very nicely
on the bed.
Let me see if I can bring up my thread tail.
I often use my thread cutter on this machine and so that leaves a little teeny tail down
in there.
And I'm not sure if I can get it for you or not.
Well it's barely there.
I'm just going to stitch onto it a couple of times like this and I'll show you a trick
here in a minute for starting and stopping another way, ok?
So I've now locked my threads in and I'm going to start in the middle of my project
because I can go in any direction with this.
And I'm going to begin to do my square first.
I came a little long so I"m going to come back to the corner.
From here I'm going to come in and do some fun arc.
Take a moment.
I'm going to cut this thread tail while we talk about the arcs.
One of the things I did find is I don't want all of my arcs kind of heading in the
same direction.
So that helps, adds some variety to our quilting.
So let's not get too tunnel visioned in our shape.
And now I'm building off.
So the first square is a full square.
And then from there the squares don't have to be complete.
Now I'm in the middle of a run so I could come here and I could bring my arc back up
to a corner like this.
So now again those arcs are the same direction.
I can put a bigger square.
I can make it not necessarily hit in all directions.
And let's say I come back with a really nice arc coming all the way in, then I can
just follow this same line I created.
Look we can make a small square right here too.
So what becomes fun is just building off of the design creating a variety of sizes of
squares.
And a variety of styles of arcs.
Now I still would like your arcs to look kind of circular while you're doing it.
But they don't want to all have to stay headed in the same direction.
And they certainly don't have to start in a corner and they don't have to stop on
an edge.
This is just a real fun modern design here.
So I filled in that square.
Coming back around here, chasing it.
Ok, so I think you get the idea here.
Now let's go ahead and do this on the big quilt.
But I promised I would show you some good start and stop techniques.
So let's start with the stop.
That's not easy to say.
So I'm going to bring my handwheel up, raise my presser foot.
And I actually have now a hold of the thread.
And hopefully you can see.
When I come in here and cut, look at that.
That's the bobbin thread too.
So when I snip that that should have freed the entire project.
And now I've got a nice long thread tail from the bobbin that I can capture while we
grab the big quilt, the monster man sampler here.
And this is fun.
This is a quilt we've been working on with a bunch with a lot of different fun motifs.
I've got a lot of motif videos out there if you haven't seen them already.
And so the point this quilt really helps us remember is that no matter the size of the
quilt you're only quilting in a small window at a time.
So I don't want you to all be overwhelmed when it comes to these quilt projects if they're
giant just because they're giant.
You're just going to take one stitch at a time.
Now I'm looking for the spot I've chosen.
Again a lot of different kinds of block work in this sampler quilt in purpose.
In here, this is nice big patchwork or nice big rectangle.
So I'm going to try to fill in all of this gray area here.
I can start up in the top corner because this is where I've already been quilting so that
I don't trap batting in and fabric up here.
So I want to quilt away from my areas.
So I'm going to start in this area where the other quilting is and start moving away
on this quilt.
I'm going to pop this pin right now because I already quilted within a few inches so I
can get the safety pin that was basting it, out of the way.
And one of the things I really love to do at home is I love to machine quilt with some
big headphones on and some of my favorite music, actually music I listen to a lot.
So it kind of helps me get that rhythm.
Think of your quilt like your dance partner, right?
If you practice quilting to the same music often then you get a good rhythm based on
that style of music.
And that can be a lot of fun.
So in a few moments I'm going to turn up my music, let you enjoy me doing my block
and arc design.
But let me walk you through that start before we get too carried away.
And then you can enjoy just watching me quilt for the end of the video here today.
So at the moment my presser foot is still up.
I'm going to take a single stitch by hand there at the wheel in that corner.
And now I can pull forward slightly and I have gotten ahold of the bobbin thread.
Now I can put back.
Make sure you drop your presser foot, take a few stitches in place.
And now I'm just going to run down this seam like stitch in the ditch at first.
Stitch somewhere near the ditch.
And then I'm going to cut these thread tails out, ok.
Pretend headphones on and here goes the rock and roll.
We'll see you in a few minutes.
Well I certain hope that has given you another fun design and motif that you can work on
with some of your modern quilts, some of your borders, some of those big long areas you
need to fill in.
And as always I read every comment.
And I certain love hearing from all of you, what kind of designs you're interested in
learning in the free motion quilting era so drop them in the comments below and we'll
catch you next time here at Man Sewing.

CloseUP: Lewandowski on Trump presidency - Duration: 11:07.
JOSH: WELCOME BACK.
THE INAUGURATION OF DONALD TRUMP
CERTAINLY GENERATED PLENTY OF
EMOTION ACROSS THE SPECTRUM.
FOR ONE PERSON IN PARTICULAR,
THAT MOMENT HAD TO BE PERSONAL.
WE ARE JOINED BY COREY
LEWANDOWSKI.
COREY: GOOD TO BE HOME.
JOSH: WHAT WAS IT LIKE, SEEING
HIM TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE,
KNOWING WHERE YOU STARTED?
COREY: REALLY HUMBLING.
YOU PUT TWO YEARS OF YOUR LIFE
INTO SOMETHING AND SEE A
COMBINATION OF NOT JUST CHANGING
THE COUNTRY BUT CHANGING THE
WHOLE WORLD TO LOOK AT THINGS
DIFFERENTLY.
WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROJECT IN
JANUARY OF 2015, NO ONE REALLY
ASSUMED HE WAS A REAL CANDIDATE
OR HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
WIN.
THE 18 MONTHS I SPENT WITH HIM
EVERY DAY, WE KNEW SOMETHING
SPECIAL WAS HAPPENING.
HIS SWEARING IN WAS REALLY
SPECIAL.
JOSH: WAS IT TOUGH TO WATCH,
KNOWING THAT YOU DEPARTED RIGHT
BEFORE THE CONVENTION?
DID YOU FEEL LIKE --
COREY: I HAVE A GREAT
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRESIDENT.
THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE WHO CAN SAY
THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. IS A
FRIEND.
HE IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
AFTER I LEFT THE CAMPAIGN, I
STILL TRAVELED WITH HIM ON THE
CAMPAIGN.
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE, WHICH VERY
FEW -- VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE,
SITTING ON THE PLATFORM WHEN HE
WAS SWORN IN.
PRETTY COOL.
REALLY COOL.
LOOKING AT THE CROWD, SAYING I
HAD A SMALL ROLE IN HELPING MAKE
THIS HAPPEN.
BEING IN WASHINGTON AND
PARTICIPATING IN THE BALLS AND
EVERYTHING, SO MANY PEOPLE CAME
TO ME AND SAID THANK YOU FOR
GETTING IT STARTED.
DONALD TRUMP IS A VEHICLE FOR
THE PEOPLE.
I THINK I WAS A VEHICLE TO HELP
HIM GET ON THE RIGHT PATH.
JOSH: WHEN YOU WALK INTO TRUMP
TOWER AND TALKED ABOUT BEING
SWORN IN, DID YOU THINK IT WAS
POSSIBLE?
OR DID YOU THINK IT WAS A
MOVEMENT THAT WAS WORKING ON THE
BRAND OF DONALD TRUMP?
COREY: IF YOU LOOK BACK TO YEARS
AGO THIS VERY WEEKEND, WE WERE
AT THE IOWA SUMMIT FOR FREEDOM.
SCOTT WALKER'S BIG BREAKOUT
SPEECH.
NO ONE GAVE DONALD TRUMP ANY
CREDIT.
THAT WAS WHEN WALKER FIRST CAME
ON BOARD.
WE TAKE YOU ASLEEP BUILT IN
OPERATION.
EVERYWHERE WE WENT, KRAUSE GOT
MORE ENTHUSIASTIC.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP AT
ONE EVENT.
WE KNEW IT WAS REAL.
IF YOU ASK OUR OPPONENTS WHO
CAMPAIGNED AGAINST US IN THE
PRIMARY, THEY KNEW DONALD TRUMP
WOULD BE THE NOMINEE THE
NOVEMBER BEFORE THE ELECTION,
BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY COULD NOT
MOVE DONALD TRUMP AWAY FROM HIM.
JOSH CROWD SIZE -- A LOT OF
PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THAT.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
SEAN SPICER SAYS THE MEDIA IS
MAKING THIS UP.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE
THINKING THIS GUY IS AN
EGOMANIAC OBSESSED WITH
POPULARITY.
COREY: THE MEDIA HAS BEEN SO
UNFAIR TO THIS CAMPAIGN AND NOW
TO THE PRESIDENCY.
I KNOW THE "TIMES" MAGAZINE
REPORTER WHO SAID THAT BUS
MARTIN THE THINKING TOOK WAS HER
MOVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
THAT WAS NOT TRUE.
3000 MEDIA OUTLET SAID THAT WAS
TRUE BEFORE HE SAID MEA CULPA,
THERE WAS A MISTAKE.
WHAT WE SEE MORE AND MORE AS
THESE REPORTERS WANT TO BE THE
NEWS STORY.
THEY WANT TO BE THE NARRATIVE
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.
THAT IS NOT WHAT THE NEWS
BUSINESS IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FAIRLY AND
ACCURATELY REPORT THE NEWS.
JOSH: THERE ARE VISUALS OF THE
CROWD SIZE.
ARE YOU TROUBLED BY THE FACT
THAT WAS SUCH AN ISSUE WITH HIM,
EARLY ON?
COREY: I AM NOT.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS MAKING
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT HE WILL
BYPASS THE FALSE STORIES.
HE WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH A TWITTER
ACCOUNT WITH 30 MILLION
FOLLOWERS.
WE HAVE SEEN MASSIVE RIOTS IN
THE MEDIA.
ALL HE WANTS IS TO HAVE A FAIR
SHAKE, A FAIR CHANCE.
LET'S GIVE HIM 100 DAYS.
LET'S SEE WE CAN ACTUALLY MOVE
THE COUNTRY IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
WE SAW MORE MOVEMENT THAN ANYONE
THOUGHT POSSIBLE THE FIRST WEEK
CARS HE IS A GUY -- BECAUSE HE
IS A GUY WHO GETS THINGS DONE.
JOSH: WILL YOU BE ABLE TO STAY
FOCUSED AND NOT GET DISTRACTED
BY THE CRITICISM?
THEY WILL KEEP COMING.
HE IS A CONTROVERSIAL PRESIDENT
MAKING CONTROVERSIAL MOVES.
HE HAS SEEMED TO ALIENATE ONE OF
OUR NEIGHBORS ALREADY.
WILL HE BE ABLE TO STAY FOCUSED
AND NOT BE TOO FAR OUTSIDE THE
MARGINS, WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THE
MEDIA SAYS ABOUT THIS AND THINGS
THAT DO NOT MATTER?
CORE HE IS COMPLETELY FOCUSED.
HE IS IMPLEMENTING HIS CAMPAIGN
PROMISES IN THE FIRST WEEK.
NO ONE THOUGHT THIS WAS
POSSIBLE.
HE ALREADY SAID WE WOULD BUILD A
WALL.
HE HAS TALKED IMMIGRATION
REFORM.
HE HAS DONE A LOT OF THINGS HE
TALKED DIRECTLY ABOUT DURING THE
CAMPAIGN.
THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA MISSED.
THEY WOULD HONE IN ON ONE SMALL
SENTENCE THE CANDIDATE, AT THE
TIME, MADE AND FORGET ABOUT ALL
OF THE OTHER THINGS HE WAS
DOING.
THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE MISSED.
THEY ARE FOCUSING ON A SMALL
ASPECT AND MISSING ALL OF THE
EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND THE WORK HE
IS DOING TO REPEAL AND REPLACE
OBAMA.
THOSE ARE THE BIG PICTURE
THINGS.
BUT THE MEDIA WANTS TO FOCUS ON
ONE SENTENCE HE MAY OR MAY NOT
HAVE SAID THAT IS NOT 100%
ACCURATE.
JOSH: DOES HE DO IT ON PURPOSE
TO DISTRACT FOR SOMETHING ELSE?
THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO DID NOT
SHOW HIS TAX RETURNS.
THAT WAS THE BIGGEST DEAL FOR
MITT ROMNEY.
COREY: WHAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN
DONE IS NOT A PRELUDE FOR WHAT
COMES IN THE FUTURE.
WASHINGTON IS COMPLETELY UPSIDE
DOWN.
WHAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS
HE WORKS 20 HOURS A DAY.
HE CAN GET MORE DONE IN ONE DAY
THAN MOST PEOPLE DO IN A WEEK.
HE DEMANDS THE BEST FROM HIS
STAFF.
WHEN HE SAYS THESE ARE MY GOALS,
I WANT YOU TO IMPLEMENT THEM,
WASHINGTON IS NOT USED TO THIS.
HE WILL MAKE CONGRESS MOVE ON
HIS AGENDA, BECAUSE HE HAS A
MANDATE, COMING IN WITH 306 EL
TORO VOTES IN STATES REPUBLICANS
DO NOT USUALLY -- ELECTORAL
VOTES IN STATES REPUBLICANS DO
NOT USUALLY WIN.
JOSH: YOU CALL THEM UP, WHAT DO
YOU TELL HIM?
COREY: HE IS UNBELIEVABLY
SUCCESSFUL.
IF YOU LOOK BACK TO LIST A CLEAR
AT WHAT HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO
ACHIEVE IN THE FIRST WEEK,
SITTING BEHIND THAT RESOLUTE ASK
, IT IS UNPARALLELED TO ANY
PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY.
JOSH: HE SIGNED EXECUTIVE
ORDERS, SURE.
WHAT CAN YOU POINT TO AND SAY IS
A FIRST WEEK ACHIEVEMENT?
COREY: HE IS READING BUREAUCRACY
FROM THE BUREAUCRACY THAT
DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY.
THE MEDIA SAYS THEY HAVE 160
YEARS OF COMBINED GOVERNMENT
EXPERIENCE.
THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE
FOR AND GHAZI.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID TO
DEVOTE MUCH LIVING OVERSEAS?
HE SAYS NO MORE FREE PASSES.
EVERYONE'S RESIGNATION GETS
ACCEPTED, AND WE WILL PUT NEW
PEOPLE IN PLACE.
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE TOP
FIVE LEVELS OF THE GOVERNMENT,
FROM TRUMP TO STEVE BANNON TO
KELLYANNE CONWAY, ZERO FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCE.
THAT IS WHAT THE PEOPLE VOTED
FOR.
THAT IS WHAT HE WILL DO.
JOSH: THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE LIKE
ABOUT HIS CABINET PICKS SO FAR.
WHAT ABOUT YOU.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN CONSULTING
COMPANY.
COREY: WE PUT TOGETHER A SMALL
FIRM THAT HAS TO THEIR MAIN
GOALS.
ONE, WE WILL LOOK AT U.S. SENATE
CANDIDATES, REPUBLICANS RUNNING
IN WHAT ARE TRADITIONALLY BLUE
STATES THAT HAVE A DEMOCRATIC
INCUMBENT REPRESENTATIVE.
STATES LIKE OHIO.
I THINK WE WILL BE HELPFUL IN
RECRUITING THOSE CANDIDATES BY
PUTTING THE TRUMP COALITION
TOGETHER.
REPUBLICANS HAVE GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND -- EXPAND
THEIR SENATE MAJORITY.
WHAT I WANT TO DO IS HELP
COMPANIES GROW.
IT FALLS IN LINE WITH THAT THE
TRUMP AGENDA IS FOR.
MY FIRM IS NOT A DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICAN FIRM.
IT IS A TRUMP FOR THEM.
IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE TRAP
AGENDA, GROWING JOBS, WE WILL
NOT REPRESENT YOU.
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PAYING
CUSTOMERS.
I WANT PEOPLE WHO WILL GROW THE
ECONOMY, READ -- RID BUSINESSES
OF SOME OF THEIR OBSTACLES.
JOSH: BY CALLING YOUR FIRM A
TRUMP FIRM, ARE YOU AFRAID OF
CRITICISM SAYING THAT YOU ARE
CASHING IN ON THE RELATIONSHIP
YOU HAVE?
COREY: TWO YEARS AGO WHEN MY
BEST FRIEND SAID I COMMITTED
CAREER SUICIDE BY WORKING WITH
DONALD TRUMP, I DO NOTHING MY
GOAL WAS TO START A FIRM THAT
"CLASHE
CASHES IN."
I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM A SMALL
COMPANY IN MASSACHUSETTS.
THEY SAY THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
IS KILLING US, CAN YOU GET US AN
ANSWER?
I SAID LET'S JUST GET YOU AN
ANSWER IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
THIS FIRM EMPLOYS MORE THAN 200
PEOPLE, WHO EMPLOYS PROBABLY MY
RELATIVES OR FRIENDS OR
RELATIVES.
I CALLED THE IRS TO THEY SAID
THEY CANNOT ISSUE AND EMPLOYMENT
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FOR 12
DAYS.
THEY SAID THEY ARE CLOSED FOR
ISSUING ANY BUSINESS IMPLEMENT
IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS.
NOT ONE COMPANY WAS STARTED
THROUGH THE IRS FOR A 12 DAY
WINDOW BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED
FOR BUSINESS.
I CALLED THE PRESIDENT-ELECT AND
SAID CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
HE SAID WE WILL BE OPEN FOR
BUSINESS.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
GOVERNMENT IS OPEN TO GROW SMALL
AND LARGE BUSINESSES.
IT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
MINDSET.
JOSH: WE WILL HAVE TO CHECK IN
WITH ADS.
ABOUT A MINUTE TO GO.
YOU ARE EXCITED AND FIRED UP
ABOUT YOUR FIRM.
ANY PART OF YOU WISH YOU WERE IN
THE WEST WING?
COREY: THERE IS ALWAYS THAT
SMALL PART THAT SAYS I WISH I
WAS INSIDE.
A COUPLE DAYS AGO WAS THE MAIDEN
VOYAGE ON AIR FORCE ONE.
HEAVILY PRETTY COLD TO BEYOND
THAT.
BUT WHAT I WANT TO DO IS HELP
THE ADMINISTRATION FROM THE
OUTSIDE.
I THINK I CAN DO MORE FROM BEING
ON THE OUTSIDE TO GET THERE
ADMINISTRATION GET THEIR AGENDA
DONE BY HOLDING ELECTED
OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE.
YOU CANNOT DO THAT ON THE
INSIDE.
THERE ARE STRICT RULES AND
REGULATIONS INSIDE THE
ADMINISTRATION.
JOSH: AND NO BOOK COMING OUT
ANYTIME SOON?
COREY: NOT FOR ME.
JOSH: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WE WILL BE BACK TO SEE WHAT THE

VANESSA MURDOCK IS JOINING
US AGAIN WITH THE EXCLUSIVE CBS
2 FORECAST, AND VANESSA, YOU
SAID WE HAVE SNOW IN THE
FUTURE?
Reporter: WE DO!
POSSIBLY TOMORROW MORNING AND
TUESDAY IS POSSIBLE, TOO.
I THINK NEXT SUNDAY COULD BE
THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR SNOW,
BUT THAT'S A WAYS OFF.
YOU CANNOT BANK ON THAT ONE.
FIRST OFF A QUIET NIGHT, AND
THEN SNOW IS POSSIBLE TOMORROW,
ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE CITY,
AND A CLIPPER IS MOVING THROUGH
ON TUESDAY, BRINGING A BETTER
OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE OF US TO
SEE SNOW, AND THEN IT GETS
COLDER, AND WE ARE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT HIGHS CLOSE TO THE
FREEZING MARK BY WEEK'S END,
AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE WANT
TO KEEP IN MIND, TOMORROW
MORNING, THE COMMUTE COULD BE
SLIPPERY FOR SOME.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
DID ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY FOR OCEAN COUNTY, AND
THIS IS IN EFFECT FOR TOMORROW
MORNING, EARLY, BEFORE THE
SUNRISES AT 3:00 A.M., THROUGH
NOON, AND THIS WILL BE A SYSTEM
THAT LIKELY IMPACTS THE MORNING
COMMUTE THROUGH ROUGHLY THE
LUNCH HOUR, AND THEN WE CAN
EXPECT IN OCEAN COUNTY, 1-2
INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WAY
OF ACCUMULATION.
TO THE SOUTHWEST W QUESTION SEE
WHAT IS TO COME.
-- TO THE SOUTHWEST, WE CAN SEE
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY COME THIS
IS HUGGING THE SHORELINE.
THAT'S TOMORROW'S SYSTEM, AND
NOW FLY UP TO CANADA.
A SLIPPER SYSTEM THAT WILL DIVE
ON THROUGH, BRINGING A BETTER
OPPORTUNITY FOR SNOW FOR MORE
OF US.
SHOWING YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
TOMORROW WITH THE SYSTEM MOVING
OFF THE COASTLINE, 4:00 A.M.,
WINTERY MIX MAKING ITS WAY INTO
OCEAN COUNTY, AND HEADED TO
8:00 A.M., NOW WE ARE SEEING
SNOW, AND IT'S JUST SKIMMING
THE CITY AND THE SOUTH SHORE OF
LONG ISLAND, AND WE WILL SEE
HEAVIER SNOW SNEAKING INTO
OCEAN COUNTY.
MID-DAY, IT'S ACROSS THE EAST
END OF LONG ISLAND, AND 4:00,
THE SYSTEM IS OUT OF HERE.
NOT BEFORE POTENTIALLY LEAVING
ACCUMULATION ON THE GROUND.
HERE'S HOW WE WILL SEE IT
STACKING UP.
ACROSS OCEAN COUNTY, OTHER THAN
MONMOUTH COUNTY, 1-2 INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE.
THROUGH THE CITY, MAYBE A TRACE
TO 1 INCH, BUT WE MUST KEEP IN
MIND WITH THE SYSTEM, THE TRACK
IS UNCERTAIN, AND THEREFORE, IT
IS POSSIBLE IT STAYS COMPLETELY
OFF THE SHOULDER TOMORROW.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT EXTENDED
FORECAST NOW.
TONIGHT, 30 DEGREES, AND
TOMORROW, IT'S 37, AND AGAIN,
THE CHANCE FOR SNOW, ESPECIALLY
DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE,
MOST LIKELY SLICK SOUTH AND
EAST OF THE CITY, AND FOR
TUESDAY, A HIGH OF 39, WITH THE
CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVING ON
THROUGH, AND WILL WE SEE
ACCUMULATION?
I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS YES.
MOST OF THE SNOW ON TUESDAY,
NORTH AND WEST OF THE CITY.
ON WEDNESDAY, 40, MAYBE A
LITTLE BIT OF A MIX FALLING,
BUT NO BIG DEAL.
THURSDAY, GROUND HOG DAY.
35 AND DRY.
I THINK THE GROUND HOG DOES NOT
SEE HIS SHADOW.
I THINK AN EARLY SPRING.
NOTICE THE TEMPERATURES
DROPPING FROM THERE, CLOSE TO
FREEZING TO END THE WEEK, AND
THEN AS I MENTIONED, TRACKING
SOMETHING FOR SUNDAY THAT COULD
BE MORE SIGNIFICANT.

How To Build A Shelf - D.I.Y. Bunnings Warehouse - Duration: 3:32.
Jason: I'm going to show you how to build a shelf.
Now, it doesn't matter where you are or what room you're in, everyone needs a shelf, for
an iron in the laundry, or your tea and coffee in your kitchen.
I'm going to show you how to put it all together.
The tools I'm going to use are the drill and impact driver.
I've got my tape measure, brackets, spirit level, pencil, drill, and some fixings, a
stud finder, some white paint, and the safety gear, as well.
I'm going to use the stud finder to locate the studs so I know where to put my screws.
These two marks that I have on the wall, the center of the stud should be located right
in the middle of those, so I'm just gonna measure center and that will give me the center
of our stud.
That should be my stud.
I'm going to position my shelf bracket over the stud that I've marked on the wall.
I'm gonna mark those three circles for the screws.
Before I screw anything off, I'm going to drop my spirit level down the outside of it
to make sure it's nice and plumb.
Now that I have the marks, I'm gonna pre-drill those holes and put my timber screws in there,
fix the bracket to the wall.
I'm screwing in the timber so I have pilot holes into the stud.
My bracket will sit in position.
I will drive my timber screw in three positions.
I've painted the top of the blank so it matches the bracket itself.
The reason I put that top screw in before the middle one, the middle one is right close
to that middle bracket, and if I put it in there before I put the top one in, it'll push
the bracket over.
So bottom one first to secure it, top one to keep it in position, middle one last.
Now that my first bracket is up, I'm now gonna mark the position for my second bracket.
My shelf is 700 mill long.
I'm gonna come in 100 mill from each end of my shelf.
My second bracket will be 500 mill across, and I'm gonna measure that now and put a level
line in here.
I've marked out my three new holes.
Ideally, your bracket's going in your timber studs.
In this case, I know there's no timber stud here.
I'm going to be using a wall anchor.
What it does is it flares open behind the plaster, so it'll lock in and hold this stud
in position.
Now that I've got my hole in the wall, I'm going to push my anchor in there.
To get it to work, I need to tighten that up.
Once it's tight, I take it out, and then fit my bracket over the top of that.
Now that I've got both of my brackets on the wall, I'm going to put my shelf up there.
All I need to do now is mark and pilot hole the four holes so I can put my screws in.
That's how you build a shelf.

CloseUP: Right-to-work legislation - Duration: 10:58.
HAMPSHIRE PASSED LEGISLATION
KNOWN AS RIGHT-TO-WORK.
WITH REPUBLICANS IN CONTROL, ART
THE DAYS NUMBERED FOR ORGANIZED
LABOR?
WE HAVE OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS.
GREG MOORE AND MARK MCKENZIE.
STILL OBVIOUSLY OPPOSED TO
RIGHT-TO-WORK, SO LET'S START
WITH YOU, MARK.
IT SEEMS YOU HAVE TO WIN OVER
SOME REPUBLICANS.
MARK: THAT IS RIGHT.
I THINK THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT
EFFORT UNDERWAY TO DO THAT.
DISTRICT MEETINGS ARE TAKING
PLACE THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
WE ARE TALKING TO THEM, TRYING
TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS NOT THE
RIGHT THING FOR THE STATE OF NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
JOSH: YOU ARE HEARING PEOPLE SAY
IT IS THE RIGHT THING, SO HOW DO
YOU MAKE YOUR CASE?
REP. MACKENZIE: RIGHT-TO-WORK IS
ONE FACTOR IN ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT.
NOT NECESSARILY IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE, BECAUSE IT HAS NOT
REALLY RAISED ITS HEAD.
THE THING THAT REALLY IS
AFFECTING THE ECONOMY IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE IS THE INABILITY TO
ATTRACT BUSINESS.
IT RELATES TO HIGH ENERGY COST,
LOW UNEMPLOYMENT HE AND
WORKFORCE ISSUES.
AND FINALLY, ACCESS TO CAPITAL.
MOST PEOPLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DO
NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF ACCESS.
YOU COMPARE IT TO NORTH CAROLINA
AND OTHER PLACES WITH RIGHT TO
WORK LAWS, THEY ARE IN A
DIFFERENT PLACE.
IF NEW HAMPSHIRE WANTS TO
COMPETE ON THAT LEVEL, NEW
HAMPSHIRE HAS TO CHANGE THE WAY
THEY GO TO THAT.
JOSH: YOU THINK RIGHT-TO-WORK
DOES ATTRACT BUSINESS.
>> PARTICULARLY IF YOU LOOK AT
THE STATES THAT HAVE BECOME
RIGHT TO WORK STATES THE LAST
FIVE YEARS.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO COMPARE
CONNECTICUT WITH ALABAMA, BUT
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS TO LOOK AT
WHAT NEW HAMPSHIRE WOULD
EXPERIENCE IF RIGHT-TO-WORK PAST
YEAR.
WHAT A WOULD HELP IS NOT JUST
WITH JOB GROWTH BUT JOB GROWTH
IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR.
75% OF NEW MANUFACTURING JOBS
HAVE GONE TO RIGHT TO WORK
STATES.
THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN SULLIVAN
COUNTY SAID THEY WOULD NOT
CONSIDER MOVING TO A STATE THAT
DID NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO WORK
LAW, SO THEY WENT TO NORTH
CAROLINA AND IRAQ 1200 JOBS THEY
ARE.
BRINGING JOBS TO NEW HAMPSHIRE
IS CRITICAL, BECAUSE WE HAVE
SEEN A FREEFALL IN THAT AREA.
ACCORDING TO THE NEW HAMPSHI
--
WE HAVE LOST 30% OF OUR
MANUFACTURING JOBS HERE IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
THOSE ARE IMPORTANT, BECAUSE THE
AVERAGE COMPENSATION FOR A NEW
HAMPSHIRE MANUFACTURING JOB IS
$75,000.
THOSE ARE GOOD JOBS.
WE HAVE TO PASS RIGHT-TO-WORK,
AS WELL AS OTHER FACTORS.
WE HAVE TO PROVIDE TAX RELIEF
FOR BUSINESSES AND WORK ON OUR
ENERGY COSTS.
JOSH: A LOT OF THESE BUSINESSES
THAT MOVED TO RIGHT-TO-WORK
STATES DO SO THEORETICALLY TO
AVOID THE HEADACHES THAT COME
WITH UNIONS.
REP. MACKENZIE: THAT IS NOT THE
CASE.
A COMPANY NEW POINT HAS BEEN
USING TEMP WORKERS FOR A LONG
TIME.
THE THING THAT RATE -- THE THING
THAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE IS THEY
PUT IN MORE THAN $12,000 TO DRAW
THEM INTO NORTH CAROLINA.
THEY ALSO WENT INTO A PLACE WITH
OVER 10% UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE
AREA.
THERE IS A WORKFORCE AVAILABLE.
NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS, STRUCTURALLY,
ALMOST NO UNEMPLOYMENT.
THE PROBLEM -- THE REASON PEOPLE
ARE MOVING IS THEY CANNOT FIND
THE WORK TO DO THE JOB.
THAT IS WHAT THEY WILL TELL YOU
IN ANY BUSINESS.
JOSH: WE HAVE THE LOWEST
UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE COUNTRY.
THERE IS CONSENSUS WE NEED TO
BRING MORE BUSINESS YEAR, BUT
THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT OVERHAUL.
IF SOMETHING IS NOT BROKEN?
MR. MOORE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND WE DO HAVE A
WORKFORCE PROBLEM IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
106,000 PEOPLE GET UP EVERY DAY
AND TRAVEL OUT OF THE STATES.
MOST GO TO MASSACHUSETTS.
YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT 93 AND
95 EVERY MORNING TO SEE THE
PEOPLE LEAVING NEW HAMPSHIRE AND
GOING TO MASSACHUSETTS.
WE WANT TO KEEP THOSE JOBS HERE
AND GROW THE ECONOMY HERE.
FUNDAMENTALLY, IT IS CRITICAL
THAT WE GIVE BUSINESSES EVERY
OPPORTUNITY.
WE MADE A HUGE STEP BY PROVIDING
TAX RELIEF.
OUR ECONOMY EXPLODED AFTER THAT.
WE HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO
MAKE A DYNAMIC CHANGE HERE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENS
WHEN WE PASSED THIS CONCERT WAS
WE HAD PEOPLE STOPPED WORKING IN
MASSACHUSETTS AND COMBAT HERE TO
NEW HAMPSHIRE POLICE WE WANT TO
FLIP THE SCRIPT SO 93 IS BUSY
GOING THE OTHER WAY.
REP. MACKENZIE: LET ME JUST
RESPOND TO THAT.
MASSACHUSETTS IS NOT A RIGHT TO
WORK STATE.
THOSE 100 9000 PEOPLE TRAVELING
INTO MASSACHUSETTS, WHAT THEY
HAVE BEEN -- THOSE 109,000
PEOPLE TRAVELING INTO
MASSACHUSETTS, THE VENTURE
CAPITALISM IN MASSACHUSETTS
EXPLODES.
PEOPLE NEED CAPITAL.
THEY NEED WORKFORCE, THEY NEED
CAPITAL.
WHAT ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE
ISSUES?
WHAT ABOUT THE IDEA OF RAIL
SERVICE AND OTHER THINGS THAT
WOULD GIVE PEOPLE ACCESS TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE OPPORTUNITIES?
WE ARE NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO
PASSING THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
YOU NEED GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE,
GOOD WORKERS.
YOU NEED ACCESS TO CAPITAL.
YOU ALSO NEED INNOVATIVE WAYS TO
ATTRACT NEW WORKERS.
JOSH: I DO NOT WANT TO STRAY TOO
FAR FROM RIGHT-TO-WORK, BUT
WEIGH IN HERE.
IT DOES NEED TO BE A
MULTIPRONGED EFFORT.
MR. MOORE: ABSOLUTELY.
RIGHT-TO-WORK IS ONE COMPONENT
OF A LONG LIST OF THINGS NEW
HAMPSHIRE NEEDS TO DO TO BE AS
COMPETITIVE AS POSSIBLE.
WE HAD TO GIVE OURSELVES THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE THE BALL IN
A WHOLE HOST OF AREAS.
BUT IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND RIGHT-TO-WORK ALSO
GIVES WORKERS FREEDOM.
THAT IS AN IMPORTANT THING TO
KEEP IN MIND.
2006, I WAS WORKING WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES WHEN NONUNION STATE
EMPLOYEE SUDDENLY HAD TO PAY THE
UNION.
I SAT WITH COMMISSIONER JOHN
STEVENS, AND WE SAT WITH THESE
EMPLOYEES, WHO ARE FRUSTRATED
WITH THE FACT THEY WERE NOT
HAPPY WITH THE BARGAIN THE UNION
GOT THEM PAY THEY WERE NOT HAPPY
WITH THE SERVICES THEY WERE
GETTING.
THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH
THE UNION.
SUDDENLY, THEY HAD TO PAY THE
UNION THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO
WITH.
THERE IS A SIMILARITY.
YOU CAN EITHER JOIN THE UNION
YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH OR
PAY A FEE FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF
NOT JOINING THE UNION.
IT IS A STRONG SIMILARITY WITH
THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE UNDER
OBAMA CARE.
WHERE YOU COULD EITHER BY A
HEALTH CARE PLAN YOU DID NOT
WANT OR PAY A SHARE OF
RESPONSIBILITY PAYMENT FOR THE
PRIVILEGE OF NOT BUYING HEALTH
INSURANCE.
THAT IS WHY -- THERE'S A REASON
WHY THAT WAS THE MOST UNPOPULAR
PART OF OBAMACARE.
AMERICANS SIMPLY DO NOT BELIEVE
YOU SHOULD BE FORCED TO BUY A
GOOD OR SERVICE YOU DO NOT WANT.
JOSH: A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE
THIS IS MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN
ANYTHING ELSE, KEEPING THE UNION
BOSSES HAPPY.
HOW DO YOU MAKE THE CASE -- ARE
UNIONS EVOLVING TO THE POINT --
YOU HAVE BEEN ON BOTH SIDES OF
THIS.
ARE WE SEEING, DO YOU EXPECT TO
SEE, THE SAME TYPE OF VISIBILITY
IN THE CASE MADE THE LAST FEW
YEARS WITH THE DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNOR SHOWCASING WHAT YOU
NEED TO DO TODAY?
REP. MACKENZIE: LET ME RESPOND
WEEKLY TO ONE OF THE THINGS REG
SAID.
IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THERE
ARE COMPLAINTS FROM STATE
EMPLOYEES AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT
THEY HAVE TO PAY THE FEE, NOT
ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE BASICALLY
SAID THE DEAL CUT EITHER STATE
EMPLOYEES, A NEGOTIATED DEAL, WE
WILL REFUSE TO TAKE THAT DEAL.
NOT ONE PERSON DID THAT.
IN EVERY INSTANCE WE HAVE SEEN,
WHERE THERE WERE AGENCY FEES AND
WORKERS COMPLAINING AS A RESULT
OF IT, NOT ONE WORKER I HAVE
EVER COME ACROSS AS WE WILL NOT
TAKE THE RAISE, THE VACATION
TIME, THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE
THE BENEFITS THE UNION
NEGOTIATED FOR THEM.
THAT SAID, I THINK IT IS AN
IMPORTANT POINT.
AND I THINK WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
OBAMACARE, THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE TODAY WHO HAVE HEALTH
INSURANCE THAT NEVER HAD IT
BEFORE.
THERE IS NOT ONE PERSON, I THAT,
THAT WOULD SAY I HAVE CANCER,
AND I WISH WE NEVER PASSED
OBAMACARE, BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE
RATHER BEEN UNINSURED AND UNDER
-- AND UNCOVERED HERE BECAUSE
OBAMACARE WAS A REASON MANY
PEOPLE GOT COVERAGE.
JOSH: IS THERE ANY MIDDLE GROUND
ON RIGHT-TO-WORK?
THIS HAS BECOME SUCH AN
ADVERSARIAL RELATIONSHIP FOR
THOSE OPPOSED TO RIGHT-TO-WORK
AND ORGANIZE LABOR THAT I DO NOT
KNOW HOW MUCH TALKING IS GOING
ON.
REP. MACKENZIE: WE ARE CHATTING
A LITTLE BIT.
I DO NOT THINK THERE IS A LOT OF
TALKING GOING ON.
BUT I DO NOT THINK THE WAYS WE
WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEMS IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE IS TO ATTACK THE
PEOPLE DOING THE WORK NOW, THAT
ARE PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PEOPLE IN DECENT, GOOD JOBS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHERE THERE ARE
FEES AND OTHER THINGS, THOSE ARE
THE PEOPLE FIGHTING FIRES.
POLICE OFFICERS.
STATE EMPLOYEES.
PEOPLE CLEANING THE ROADS.
PEOPLE DEALING WITH THE
ELECTRICAL WORK.
DO NOT ATTACK THAT WORKFORCE.
LET'S FIND WAYS WE CAN WORK
TOGETHER THAT REALLY PROVIDE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE.
LET'S SOLVE THE ISSUE AROUND
FINANCING AND WORKFORCE AND
ORGANIZATION.
JOSH: I WANT TO POINT OUT THERE
IS SOME PUBLIC -- THE PUBLIC
UNIONS, SCHOOLS AND FIRST
RESPONDERS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS THERE ROOM?
MR. MOORE: FIRST AND FOREMOST,
THE BEST WAY TO MAKE WORKERS
PROJECTED IS TO HAVE A STRONG
ECONOMY.
WHEN EMPLOYERS NEED WORKERS AND
CANNOT FIND THEM, THEY WILL DO
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TAKE CARE
OF THEM.
RIGHT-TO-WORK IS NOT ANTIUNION.
LOOK AT INDIANA.
OR MICHIGAN.
THEY INCREASE THEIR
PRIVATE-SECTOR UNION RULES BY
7%.
ONE INSTANCE STRUCK ME.
A CASE IN WHICH ONE OF OUR TOP
ACTIVISTS WORKED IN A UNION
SHOP.
THERE WERE 25 PEOPLE OR OLDER
UNDER A REGULAR PENSION PLAN AND
18 PEOPLE IN A 401(K) PLAN.
WHEN THEY BARGAINED, THEY
BARGAINED FOR MORE PENSION
BENEFITS.
THE 18 PEOPLE WHO WERE ON A 400
-- 401K GOT NOTHING.
RIGHT-TO-WORK GIVES THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY THAT IF YOU GIVE US
THE SHAFT, WE WILL NOT PAY YOU A
NICKEL FOR IT.
JOSH: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WISH WE HAD MORE TIME TO GO OVER
IT.
AFTER THE BREAK, WE TALK TO THE

President Trump's executive
order on immigration and

shockwaves throughout the
country, sparking several
protests in US
cities. Republican Ohio Senator
Rob Portman
appeared on CNN this morning and
spoke of Trump's rule.
The order stops people from
seven predominantly Muslim
countries from
entering the US for 3 months. It
also suspends ALL refugee
admissions
for 120 days.
In October the diocese held a
community forum, discussing the
thought of bringing in
25 or 30 refugees.
As for the CoreCivic,
Youngstown's Mayor John McNally
says the executive order should

Benefits of yogurt - Health benefits of yogurt - Duration: 5:42.
Benefits of yogurt.
Traditional probiotic yogurt is made from dairy that's fermented into a creamy food
packed with beneficial probiotics and is a balanced source of protein, fats, carbohydrates,
vitamins and minerals.
Yogurt is considered a superfood.
When it's sourced from grass-fed cows or goats, then yogurt's nutrition is maximized,
supplying omega-3 fatty acids, whey protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin D,
vitamin K2, enzymes and probiotics.
10 Proven Probiotic Yogurt Benefits.
1.
Yogurt Supports Healthy Digestion.
Healthy bacteria that are added to yogurt help to improve the microflora in the gut,
which is responsible for digestion and a healthy digestive tract.
These active cultures may help with certain gastrointestinal conditions, including colon
cancer, IBS, constipation, diarrhea and lactose intolerance.
Many individuals that struggle with lactose intolerance find that yogurt is a soothing
food, not one that causes digestive distress.
2.
Lowers the Risk of Colorectal Cancer.
In a large study of over 45,000 individuals published in the International Journal of
Cancer, yogurt consumption was shown to protect against colorectal cancer.
Researchers indicated "the protective effect of yogurt was evident in the entire cohort".
The reason for this is a healthier digestive tract, due to the probiotics and healthy bacteria
in yogurt.
3.
It May Protect Against Osteoporosis.
Yogurt contains some key nutrients for maintaining bone health, including calcium, protein, potassium,
phosphorus and, sometimes, vitamin D. All of these vitamins and minerals are especially
helpful for preventing osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakening of the bones.
It is common in the elderly.
Individuals with osteoporosis have low bone density and are at a higher risk of bone fractures.
However, research shows that consuming at least three servings of dairy foods, such
as yogurt, on a daily basis may help preserve bone mass and strength.
4.
Supports Weight Loss and Increases Fat Loss.
According to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, yogurt increases fat loss.
The study showed that three- to six-ounce servings a day for 12 weeks nearly doubled
the amount of fat lost versus others in the study.
The group that consumed the probiotic yogurt and additional calcium to reach 1,100 milligrams
lost 22 percent more weight and 61 percent more body fat.
The study also found the belly region and the waist circumference were particularly
affected.
5.
Yogurt Boosts the Immune System.
In a recent study, researchers found that probiotics found in yogurt and other fermented
milk products can improve the gut mucosal immune system by increasing cytokine producing
cells in the intestine.
Researchers stated that "Supplementation of probiotic organisms in infancy could help
prevent immune-mediated diseases in childhood."
Another study on infants found that probiotics added to formulas had a significant decrease
of number days with fever, antibiotic prescriptions, clinic visits and child care absences.
For adults, yogurt's probiotics help to keep the digestive tract free of disease-causing
bacteria.
A randomized and placebo controlled study in Sweden of shift workers found that the
placebo group reported more than twice the number of sick days than those who were taking
probiotics.
6.
Regulates Moods.
The effects of probiotics on the digestive tract and blood sugar levels have already
been discussed, but as it turns out, the health of our gut is directly related to our mood.
In a study from UCLA's Gail and Gerald Oppenheimer Family Center for Neurobiology of Stress that
studied brain scans during and after the study, researchers found healthy women who regularly
consumed probiotics through yogurt showed more control in emotions and less anxiety
when introduced to emotional events.
The group that consumed yogurt ate two servings per day for four weeks.
7.
It's High in Protein.
Yogurt provides an impressive amount of protein, with about 12 grams per 7 ounces (200 grams).
Protein has been shown to support metabolism by increasing your energy expenditure, or
the number of calories that you burn throughout the day.
Getting enough protein is also important for appetite regulation, as it increases the production
of hormones that signal fullness.
It may automatically reduce the number of calories you consume overall, which is beneficial
for weight control.
In one study, subjects who snacked on yogurt were less hungry and consumed 100 fewer calories
at dinner, compared to those who ate lower-protein snacks with the same amount of calories.
Yogurt's fullness-promoting effects are even more prominent if you eat Greek yogurt,
which is a very thick variety that has been strained.
It is higher in protein than regular yogurt, providing 22 grams per 7 ounces (200 grams).
Greek yogurt has been shown to influence appetite control and delay feelings of hunger more
than regular yogurt with less protein.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie - Duration: 3:40.
Hi I'm Laura Numeroff author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk.
When you give him the milk,
he'll probably ask you for a straw.
When he's finished he'll ask for a napkin.
Then he'll want to look into the mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache.
when he looks into the mirror, he might notice his hair needs a trim.
So... he'll probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.
When he's finished giving himself a trim he'll want a broom to sweep up.
He'll start sweeping, He might get carried away and sweep every room in the house.
He may even end up washing the floors as well.
When he's done he'll probably want to take a nap.
You'll have to fix up a little box for him with a blanket and a pillow.
He'll crawl in and make himself comfortable and fluff the pillow a few times.
He'll probably ask you to read him a story.
So you read to him from one of your books and he'll ask to see the pictures.
When he looks at the pictures he'll get so excited he'll want to draw one of his own.
He'll ask for paper and crayon.
He'll draw a picture.
When the picture is finished he'll want to sign his name with a pen, and then he'll want
to hang his picture on his refrigerator.
Which means he'll need scotch tape.
He'll hang up his drawing and stand back to look at it.
Looking at the refrigerator will remind him that he's thirsty, so
he'll ask for a glass of milk, and chances are if he asks for a glass of milk he's going
to want a cookie to go with it.

We suck at bikepacking - Key West Trip Day 1 - Duration: 6:48.
We suck at bikepacking - Cycling to Key West EP1
This, is mile marker 0 off route US-1. It symbolizes the Southernmost point in the continental
US, but clearly the house behind it is further South. To me, the real reason to visit mile
marker 0 is to drive through the Florida Keys. From downtown Miami, it's an epic 3 hour
drive, starting with skyscrapers and ending in 7 mile long bridges through the Caribbean—or
the Gulf of Mexico depending on which car window you're looking out of.
The final stop is Key West, and it's worth the trip. If you like coconut trees, flip
flops, and stiff drinks, you may find no better place. Of course, relaxation was the last
thing on my mind when I agreed to pedal to Key West from my house in Fort Lauderdale.
I'm pretty sure it was Alex's crazy idea, and who could blame him? The poor guy has
been off his mountain bike since November, when he dislocated his shoulder. A road bike
adventure through the flattest state in the nation would be a piece of cake.
So we threw caution to the wind, did absolutely no research, and retrofitted our road bikes
with racks and luggage. Alex had a lot of camping experience, and I went through a road
biking phase a few years back. I was no stranger to high mileage. 200 miles in 3 days would
be easy. So the goal for day one would be a campsite 90 miles away in Key Largo. As
we set out from my house in high spirits, we had no idea how humbling of an experience
this ride would be. Alex and I fell short of Key Largo by over 40 miles on day one.
Allow me to summarize why that was the case.
Reason 1: Roady miles and bike packing miles are not the same. When you ride for training
of for the sake of riding you choose your favorite route. We were forced to ride through
Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Hallandale, all of Miami, and Homestead, encountering ridiculous
amounts of stop lights, traffic, glass, and general treachery. City miles are slow and
frustrating. We were moving at a snails pace, which leads into…
Reason number 2: The worst route ever. I used Google maps to plan a route and tapped
the little bicycle icon. This is great for finding the closest bikeway, but terrible
for finding directions. Rather than have you ride for a mile on a less than ideal road,
Google would rather you get on a ferry. Sometimes it would want us to take a bikeway for a few
miles, make a u turn, and backtrack a mile to get on another bikeway—this instead of
just hopping over one median. For the record I now know the best route, but I can't go
back in time to Wednesday afternoon, which brings us to…
Reason number 3: A late start. We did some preparation in the morning and moseyed on
down to the coffee shop. We didn't start pedaling until around 11, since we wanted
to wait until rush hour was over. I don't know why it didn't click that we'd be
in South Miami during the second rush hour. Since my calculations were based on roady
miles, I figured we'd be in the keys by then, but I didn't account for all the stops,
craploads of extra weight, and….
Reason number 4: Mechanical problems. For the record I did one thing right, and that
was buy two really good brand new tires, and a reasonably sturdy rack with panniers. Alexander's
bike was f*cked. His tires were really old, and his rack consisted of 9 bungie cords and
some backpacks. The only thing on his bike that worked consistently was the horn. Alex
kept getting flats on his rear tire, and it took forever to take on and off the bike due
to the rear rack. Between stops to fix the rack, multiple flats, and a detour to restock
our supplies, we burnt through 2 hours of daylight, which brings me to…
Reason number 5: Bad luck, which I admit is sort of a cop out for bad planning. Google
Maps led us to a really jagged and rough fire road, which was out of the question considering
Alex's tire issues. So we tried to find a way around it and found ourselves trapped.
I
was going to do it, but Alex was actually the voice of reason. He might have saved both
of our lives. During the day, maybe. At night, it was sketchy.
So, 40 miles from Key Largo we decided to throw in the towel. Luckily, motels in Homestead
are about the same price as tent sites in the keys. We were pretty bummed out, and admittedly
doubtful that we would get to Key West on time. Both of us were on a time constraint,
and the next day was looking grimmer and grimmer by
the minute. After 50 miles of arduous urban pedaling, we needed something to boost our
spirits.
Our goal for the following day would be to make it to Key Largo and keep pushing all
the way to Marathon by the end of the day. That was a lofty 80 mile goal for day two.
Would we make it? Find out in the next video. Thanks for riding with me today and I'll
see you next time.
