Top 10 Foods That Detox Your Liver Naturally

A healthy liver is pertinent to long lasting good health. Liver is a gland connected to some of the major bodily functions including metabolism, a dysfunctional and unhealthy liver will lead to break down of these functions leading to even death. Liver mainly works as the main organ of metabolism. It helps in carbohydrate; protein and lipid metabolism, produces the hormones and enzymes responsible for the process of metabolism. The human liver has a weight of about 3 pounds in an adult body. Liver is made up of special tissues which aren’t replaceable and in case of a liver failure; the only options available are liver dialysis as a temporary solution and liver transplantation in case of total failure. So, it can be safely said that keeping the liver in good condition is essential to being healthy. Liver needs to be cleaned out from time to time with the appropriate kind of food and here in this article we present some of the best food for cleaning the liver and keeping it healthy.

10. Walnuts

Walnuts are one of the nuts you can eat on a regular basis to detoxify your liver as they are filled with a certain amino acid named Arginine. Arginine works in the liver and helps to detoxify Ammonia. Also, it contains Glutathione and the Omega-3 fatty acids which work towards a healthy liver with a safe way of detoxifying your liver. The other nuts helpful in the detoxification of liver are Almonds, Brazil Nuts and Pecans.

9. Grapefruit

Grapefruits contain an ingredient called Naringenin .It acts as a starter of the compound which breaks down fatty acids and oxidizes them. This may affect the liver in a positive way and stop fatty liver diseases and reduces body fat content, which again is a major contributor to the fatty liver diseases. Another compound called Nootkatone helps in metabolism of the body and lowers body fat content.

8. Garlic

One of the best items to eat to clean your liver is garlic. Garlic contains chemical like Selenium and Arginine which work directly towards keeping the liver clean and increases blood flow in the liver. It also contains Vitamin B6 which helps against liver inflammation and Vitamin C which being a primary antioxidant helps with the stopping of cell oxidation. Garlic in food helps in prevention of liver cancer, stops fat from depositing on the liver and keeps it detoxified.

7. Beetroots

A vegetable which contains high amount of anti-oxidants along with vitamins A and C, Beetroots contain a compound called betaine which works in the liver and helps in liver detoxification. In other forms like roast or cooked beetroot, betaine quantity reduces. But beetroot juice keeps betaine unbroken and in high quantity. Also, beetroots help in healing the liver and helps clean the bile ducts which in turn make sure that the liver remains healthy.

6. Turmeric

Turmeric is one of the best things you can eat along with your food to keep your liver healthy and also to help the liver regenerate in case of a liver dysfunction. Liver contains a chemical called Curcumin which increases the liver fibroids and helps in avoiding and combating liver cancer. Turmeric also helps the body get rid of carcinogens which cause cancer causing substances and as recent studies shown, help in repairing the damaged liver tissues. Turmeric in food also has multiple benefits.

5. Apples

Apples are filled with natural anti-oxidants. They are not just super good for your liver but for your whole body. Apples help your liver remain clean and prevent them from being over worked by removing toxins and cholesterol from the body. Also they contain Pectin which helps in the removal of toxins. Apples also contain malic acid which cleans your body by removing the carcinogens especially from the blood stream. Organic apples are the best kind and you can eat just one or have a glass of apple juice.

4. Broccoli

Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprout and turnip, cauliflower help in keeping our liver clean with detoxifying enzymes. Recent studies show that broccoli and other vegetable of the similar type not only detoxify the liver with the enzymes but also keep the liver clean for a longer period of time. Broccoli contains the nutrients named glucoraphanin, gluconasturtiin and glucobrassicin. These are the compounds which actually do the work in detoxifying the liver and the blood stream. Broccoli is also rich in fibres and vitamins which go a long way in keeping the body energetic and healthy.

3. Avocado

Avocados are a great and tasty way to keep the liver clean and detoxified. Avocados contain the chemical called glutathione which directly helps the liver in keeping itself clean and detoxify it. Research has shown that even 1-2 avocados eaten in a week has improved the condition of the liver and it continues to remain healthy despite no further consumption of Avocados. They also contain mono saturated fatty acids even though they are fatty. They help in cleaning of cholesterol from the blood. Did I mention they are tasty and available widely?

2. Lemon

Lemon is another well known fruit with great benefits. Lemon in the form of lime juice or lemon water has been used as a natural cleanser for liver by flushing the liver of its toxic compounds. Lime squeezed in water and drunk before food helps in better metabolism by two ways. One, It breaks down the food in the stomach. And also by making the digestive juices to flow within the stomach and result in a better metabolism rate. Have a glass of water with half a lemon squeezed in to it. Your stomach will say Thank you to you.

1. Green Tea

Green tea has benefits more than one. It’s rich in antioxidants, and reduces the fat and lipids from the liver by various ways. Someone who drinks excessive amount of alcohol has high amount of fat in the liver and this condition is called NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease). Green tea not only blocks storage of excess fat in the liver, but also it improves the liver function by keeping the increasing the fat breakdown rate in the liver. Also, green tea due to its anti oxidant properties present in its tea form, reduces the decay of the antioxidant functions in the liver. Studies on mice has conclusively shown the above results and doctors suggest you to drink frequent cups of green tea as its properties help you to clean your liver, keep it fat free, and help other parts and functions of your body as well.

These are the 10 food items you can consume on a regular basis to keep your liver healthy. However, moderated consumption of alcohol and lean meat, lots of vegetables and plenty of water goes behind a healthy and properly functioning of a liver.

Archbishop Frane Franic

Archbishop Emeritus of Split and Makarsk and former President of the Episcopal Theological Commission, Yugoslavia Split, Yugoslavia

The following introduction by Archbishop Franic was first published in 1993:

The Purity of the Integral Revelation of God

When I received two books written by the visionary Vassula Ryden, and translated into Croatian by Mrs. Marija-Dragica Vukic, I was pleasantly surprised, all the more because the translation was made from English in Belgrade, where Mrs. Vukic lives. She asked me to write a preface for the third book which will appear in Croatian. There are already five volumes in English entitled True Life in God written by Vassula Ryden. It is a great pleasure for me to write this preface.

The first news I heard about Vassula was two years ago, in 1991, in a Canadian Catholic review, L'Informateur Catholique. A great deal of that particular issue was devoted to Vassula. Thereafter, the review published information about her regularly. A good Catholic lady living in Canada, who is very interested in Medjugorje, a leader of frequent pilgrimages, directed strong criticism against Vassula, alleging that there were false theories in the messages which she is transmitting: for example, that Jesus calls Himself "Eternal Father" of men, as if He identifies Himself in every respect with the Father, thus denying the distinction between the Father and the Son. This devoted admirer of Our Lady is not happy either with the manner in which Jesus transmits His messages through Vassula's hand; she thinks of this in terms of spiritualistic transmission of messages.

This critic of Vassula, about whom I read in the review I have mentioned, was Mrs. Darija Klanac, nee Skunca. I had the honor to meet her on her way as a pilgrimage leader from Canada to Medjugorje . She visited me in Split, in St. Peter's Co-Cathedral, where I have lived since 1983. I spoke in French to the pilgrims about the Medjugorje messages of peace. Mrs. Klanac also talked with great zeal about Our Lady. I was very happy that Mrs. Klanac, one of our Croatians married in Canada, had such a high reputation among the Catholics of that country. Later on, when she had difficulties with the review I have mentioned because they supported Vassula, I noticed with what respect they wrote of her personality, that is, the experts working for them. This pleased me.

But I am on Vassula's side, especially since I was given three books of her messages in Italian, entitled Peace and Love. A group of Italian pilgrims on their way to Medjugorje stopped in Split and visited St. Peter's. They invited me to Italy. So, on September 23,1992, I celebrated Holy Mass in a large church in Como. The church was full and there I met Vassula. Before Mass she gave a testimony about her mystical experiences and messages, which, with the greatest conviction, she attributed to Jesus. I gave the homily on the Gospel of the day. I spoke about private revelations, and the importance they have for the Church and today's world. I added some words of support for Vassula, leaving the final judgment to the Church. I always use this precaution when I talk publicly about the Medjugorje messages.

On the other hand, when I talk privately I express my constant conviction of the authenticity of the Medjugorje apparitions and messages; I rely on the Gospel test which says that a good tree may be recognized by good fruits. This is especially true of religious conversions, miracles in the moral order, and, most frequently, experiences in Medjugorje. This happens also through Vassula, who herself is a miracle, an object of wonder. True, she does not cause wonders in the physical sense, for she makes no claim to a charism of healing.

I was given a copy of the fourth book of Vassula's messages by the translator personally. I was delighted to note that the preface was by Fr. Rene Laurentin, whom I value highly; I have met him many times in Split on his way to and from Medjugorje.

As I read Vassula's books, my first impressions of her were very much confirmed. Her messages, actually for me Jesus' messages, are alive and authentic. These messages can help us toward a better understanding of Jesus' messages in the Gospel, and also help us experience them in a personal way. These must always remain the authentic criteria in judging private messages, in recognizing healthy mystical experience. There always have been, always will be, mystical experiences in the Church. These we must not minimize, but we must leave the final judgment to the church.

When I met Vassula in Como, on 23rd September, 1992, I had the feeling that she was under attack by many critics; they wrote disparagingly about her. This is understandable as through Vassula, Jesus is passing judgment on extremist theologians of our time, who distance themselves from divine revelations by too great proximity to the world. This, Pope Paul VI found out, a short time before he died; he began to speak of the "devil's smoke" which had entered the Church and clouded fundamental truths of God's revelation.

It seems to me the. more I understand these things, that Vassula's main charism is to show the PURITY OF THE INTEGRAL REVELATION OF GOD. Nothing must be taken from, nothing added to the Revelation; there must be no yielding to the world and to the permissive civilization of our time, which penetrates even into the Church, causing disorder in her saving mission.

Inculturation is necessary as the basis of a new evangelization. So Pope John Paul II says, following the Council. We must respect cultures that we may plant in people of all nations God's revealed truths, strengthening them with love, always with due regard to human, national and social rights, and attention to social situations. This is the truth; Second Vatican Council says it; so do Popes of the Council and after it. But there is the truth which tells us that Christ and His Word judge all cultures, all human, national and social rights. It is not, on the contrary, cultures which judge Christ, but Christ who judges them. Christ protects, promotes, dignifies, raises to a higher level, to God's level, all cultures.

Because of that do not be afraid to "open the door to Christ". He is our Creator, our Friend, He is our "Eternal Father" together with the Father and the Holy Spirit; He knows what we need to achieve our small earthly and great heavenly happiness.

The Church, together with the Pope, and under the Pope, as the visible head of the Church and the Vicar of Jesus Christ, transmits the saving teachings of Christ. That is what Jesus is telling us through Vassula, though she makes it clear that she is of the Greek Orthodox Church. In this way she shows the way to healthy ecumenism, ecumenism which, today, is passing through its Calvary. But ecumenism is God's work, so it must pass through its Calvary like Christ Himself. May God protect us so that the Calvary does not spread over the whole world.

Ecumenism will, through its Calvary, have its resurrection. It seems that this is the core of all the messages that Jesus is giving us through Vassula Ryden, Greek Orthodox, living now in Switzerland.

+Frane Franic, Retired Archbishop of Split
formerly President, Episcopal Theological Commission, Yugoslavia
Split, Yugoslavia

Immediately after the Notification in 1995, the Archbishop wrote the following testimony:

Integrity of the truths revealed in the messages of Vassula Ryden, very faithful daughter of the ancient and Holy Greek Orthodox Church

In reading the books of the divine messages and knowing that the author, Mrs. Vassula Ryden, is a daughter of the Greek Orthodox Church, I was very impressed to find in them a fidelity, and I am firmly convinced, an absolute fidelity to all the revealed truths as taught and expounded by the Catholic Church.

I would like to humbly point out that in 1941 I received a Ph.D. from the Gregorian University, which was at that time very faithful to Thomist theology and philosophy and that I have myself taught this theology for 38 years, from 1942 until l980, at the Interdiocesan Theological School of advanced studies in Split. I have come to know about the various objections that were formulated by certain Catholic theologians concerning the messages of the books of "True Life in God". But these objections are certainly not able to put in doubt my conviction that all these books contain authentic messages coming from Christ Himself, messages that include the truths concerning faith in the supernatural, truths in which both the ancient Byzantine Orthodox Church and the Roman Church believed, up until the painful moment of their separation. Consequently, the messages correspond well with the ancient faith of the Holy Greek Orthodox Church, which implies that Vassula does not have to formally abandon her belonging to the Orthodox Church in order to become Catholic.

I maintain this firm conviction even today, notwithstanding the "declaration" (notification) of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, published in the Osservatore Romano dated 23-24 October 1995.

I pray to the Lord that this "declaration" be clarified, thus removing any confusion in our Church as well as removing the difficulties that have cropped up because of this "declaration" in the ecumenical relations between the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church.

Furthermore, I feel I must declare that in the messages of Vassula's books one finds certain truths that are today in a state of crisis in our own Church. These truths are very clearly stated in these messages and asserted in a surprisingly firm and decisive way. Truths such as the Virginity and the Holy Motherhood of the Blessed and Immaculate Virgin Mary, the real presence of the Body and of the Blood with the Soul and the Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

According to my humble but firm conviction, there is no error and there have never been any errors, either in the first books of Vassula nor in those that followed. There is no error when Vassula speaks about Christ calling him Abba or Jahweh, neither when she says that Christ will come in the world to bring a period of His peace, because it has to do with the historical return of Christ into this world through His Church, who during that period of Peace will be renewed; and then, the presence of Christ will be even more visible to all mankind in this world, as the Holy Virgin and Queen of Prophets was saying at Fatima, and as she is still prophecying now in Medjugorje.

Therefore, I unite myself to all those Catholic bishops and theologians that defend the authenticity and sincere veracity of Vassula Ryden, seer and mystic, one of the greatest of our times.

Michael's Doc Won't Attend Funeral

6/30/2009 6:14 AM PDT
Michael Jackson's doctor -- the one who didn't call 911 for 30 minutes after finding MJ unconscious -- won't be attending his funeral, this according to the doc's rep.

We're told Dr. Conrad Murray hasn't been watching the media coverage and has been "isolating himself" from the public. Also, Murray hasn't spoken with the Jackson family since he saw them at the hospital on the day Michael died.

Murray's rep said he's skipping the funeral to "mourn privately for the death of his friend."

Stephenie Meyer DISSES 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Author

8/10/2013 12:45 AM PDT

Screw professional courtesy ... "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer says she won't give E.L. James any casting advice for the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie .. because she REFUSES TO READ THE BOOK!!!

Meyer was leaving Hemmingway's in Hollywood with some friends last night when she fired the shot ... and it ain't the first time she's taken aim at the S&M-heavy trilogy.

Earlier this year, Meyer told The Guardian "50 Shades" was "too smutty" for her taste -- explaining, "Erotica is not something I read. I don't even read traditional romance."

It's unclear how E.L. feels about the diss -- but we're guessing she'd probably give Stephenie a pair of those ben wa balls and tell her to go (well, you know) herself.

One of America's Great Newspapers ~ Toledo, Ohio

TV movie critic Gene Shalit faces charge in connection with car crash in western Mass.

LENOX, Mass. (AP) — Television movie critic Gene Shalit faces a charge of driving to endanger after his vehicle struck a utility pole and came to rest against a home in western Massachusetts.

Lenox police say the 86-year-old Shalit told Chief Stephen O'Brien, who was first on the scene of Wednesday afternoon's crash, that he fell asleep at the wheel.

Shalit has received a summons to appear before a clerk magistrate in Southern Berkshire District Court in Great Barrington at a future date.

Shalit, known for his bushy hair and mustache, was unhurt. His vehicle was towed and the home suffered minor damage.

Shalit reviewed movies for NBC's "Today" show from 1973 until he retired in 2010. He lives in neighboring Stockbridge.

A number for Shalit could not immediately be found.

The Darkness

Revision as of 05:06, 22 April 2012 by Gamling (Talk | contribs)
"And darkness [Melkor] used most in his evil works upon Arda, and filled it with fear for all living things." —The Valaquenta, "Of the Enemies"

Darkness was a major weapon that the Dark Lords of Middle-earth, Melkor-Morgoth and Sauron, used to instill fear in the Free peoples that stood against them. Sometimes they used Darkness as a frightening concept to coax people to rely on them for protection, while at other times the Dark Lords utilized Darkness as an actual force. This article relates time periods in which the rebellious Powers spread literal Darkness over places on Earth.

The Great Darkness

The "Great Darkness" was an uncertain term used by Treebeard the Ent, apparently referring to the time that Middle-earth was under the dominion of Morgoth.[1] It was in the Great Darkness before the Sun and Moon that Melkor first created the Orcs and the Trolls, so that these creatures feared sunlight and shunned it. The Darkness described by Treebeard was not dispelled by the coming of the Sun: Morgoth held his fortress of Angband for centuries afterwards, and kept it shrouded in darkness with vapors belched forth from Thangorodrim, the mountains around Angband.

In Valinor

Morgoth, aided by the power of Ungoliant the Spider, also used Darkness to devastating effect in his attack on the Two Trees of Valinor. After Ungoliant drank up their light, a debilitating darkness settled around the Blessed Realm that confounded the might of even most of the Valar. Aided by this force, which was more than merely a lack of light but also "had power to pierce the eye, and to enter heart and mind, and strangle the very will", Morgoth escaped from Valinor and revenged himself upon the Valar and Elves. Only the sharp eyes of Manwë could penetrate this shroud, but it was to no avail: Morgoth used the cover of Darkness to slay Finwë and capture the Silmarils of Fëanor.[2]

During the Third Age

"The Darkness" was a term usually used symbolically for the dark power of Sauron and the regions under his sway. During the War of the Ring, though, Sauron's Darkness became a dreadful reality, as it spread out of Mordor on 10 March T.A. 3019[3] and covered the lands of the West for many days. It caused despair among the soldiers of Gondor who were fighting Sauron's forces. Eventually, however, a wind from the South broke it apart.[4]

The Darkness and Night

Ideally, Night was supposed to be a peaceful time, no less threatening than Day. The Valar had intended it as period of rest and repose, in which one could view the stars of Varda. But the association of Night with Darkness and Morgoth's power caused it to become "a time of peril unseen, of fear without form, an uneasy vigil; or a haunted dream, leading through despair to the shadow of Death". These connotations were especially strong in Middle-earth; in safer lands such as Aman the Children of Ilúvatar could still enjoy Night as originally intended.

Talk:The Atlas of Middle-earth

[edit] Oakbottom

I added that one to Oatbarton some time ago, but can't find reference anymore. It's spelled correctly on 70-1.

Also useful might be the inclusion of Tarnost on pp 88-9, and the inclusion of "Sackville" as a town name (70-1). And maybe something about "things that are now shown to be incorrect", like Hardbottle. Fonstad placed it in the SF, but Nomenclature placed it in the NF. -- Ederchil 04:56, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

I am not aware of these, so I would love it if you could make the additions. Also, I am afraid if the article is a bit too negative. I really love this book. Sage 05:27, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
Maybe a rewrite is necessary. I don't like articles that have a bulk of text first and their first section header at the bottom. -- Ederchil 05:41, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Third edition

Did the 3rd edition add anything new or was it just a reprint? --Olwe 15:28, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I think a reprint but the might have a better idea. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 11:59, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Yup, that's what I thought, too. It was only done for the films. But I'll check with and emend here. --Olwe 12:15, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

A Countryside Dweller's Guide To Hair

I’m currently growing my hair for the first time since 2001. Some people think growing your hair is merely about not getting your hair cut but it’s actually about buying your hair treats and speaking softly to your hair when it’s angry. Recently, for example, I have bought my hair an original vinyl copy of the third Crazy Horse album and the new Anne Tyler novel, and my hair has seemed quietly but noticeably appreciative of both. We have both now also mercifully moved on and put the time back in June when my hair had a tantrum in Tesco firmly in our past.

I’ve always thought of myself as a spiritually long-haired person, even when I was short-haired and medium-haired, but for years people close to me and people who think they’re closer to me than they are have told me I shouldn’t grow my hair long because it will look terrible. Admittedly, one of the people who is close to me to hint at this was my mum. Mums are generally absolutely wonderful in almost every way, but you should never listen to their advice on hair, as their sole mission in this area is to sabotage your future happiness. I have felt increasingly content with my hair since January, when I last had it cut. This haircut cost £11, which is the absolute maximum any man should pay for a haircut, since anything good that happens to male hair and costs over £11 is purely fictional.

I’ve been told all sorts of guff about hair over the years, been recommended all manner of nonsense products. The most effective product I’ve used on my hair over the last few years is sea, which is available from all good coastal outlets. If someone claims you can recreate this in a bottle, lock them in a closet and walk away. I find that rain, wind and sleet work pretty well, providing you give them time and accept that, before they work their magic, they need to bring you to your knees.

“HAIR IS LIKE GRASS,” my dad claimed when I was younger. “IT NEEDS SUN AND RAIN TO GROW.” I used to think this was the wisdom of a lunatic but in recent years I’ve come around to his opinion. My dad’s dad wore lots of hats and was almost completely bald by the time he was 30. I went through a big hat wearing phase during 2009 and 2010, which perhaps uncoincidentally were also years when my hair began to sneak noticeably away from my scalp. My hair has had a minor change of heart and stood its ground pretty well in the less headwear-themed years since then. I still like hats, but tend to only wear them for special occasions nowadays, such as when I’m going to a museum or buying a particularly posh sandwich. I try to allow my hair to fly free on country walks, which, on a windy day on Dartmoor, can give me the appearance of a druid who has just made a disappointing folk record. My dad almost never wears hats and has completed hundreds of country walks, and, at the age of 66, still has a good head of hair, although my mum’s theory is that this is just because he has glued it on permanently with a variety of strong gel sprays. He still uses these, against the wishes of many. “I’VE JUST SPRAYED MY HAIR WITH CONTACT LENS CLEANER,” he announced last year, emerging from my bathroom wrapped in all four of the house’s clean bath towels. “I THOUGHT IT WAS MY GEL SPRAY, BUT IT WASN’T.”

When we see a man in old age with an especially thick head of hair, we often have an impulse to congratulate him. But why? It is not as if it required any skill. Or did it? Perhaps there is a nugget of truth inside the old line “Grass doesn’t grow on a busy street.” My hair was busy and stressed over the weekend, and today it is a miscellany of wool, lint and old wire arranged on and around my head. Contrast this with three weekends ago, when it really took things easy and looked so unusually good I kind of wished I could have taken it off and put it in the fridge until something important happened. Most hair has changeable moods. My friend Seventies Pat’s hair glows golden and huge like a hippie halo at night, gets melancholy in the mornings then perks up and becomes upbeat again the next evening, with the help of a Yardbirds record and some spiced rum. I know only one hirsute man past the age of 30 with 24-7 amazing hair: this is my friend Jay, who has past-the-shoulder middle-parted locks so reliably perfect, he makes All Things Must Pass-era George Harrison look like Ross Kemp. But the word in the local town is that he might actually be a wizard.

I only had one great hair year as an adult, which was 2000. This was after the tight curls that had been my downfall during the mid-1990s had loosened up, allowing me to finally stop looking like Dougall From The Magic Roundabout every time I grew it, but before any noticeable diminishment in thickness. I had several great hair years as a child, but being a child is cheating when it comes to hair. Did I need any poncy conditioner or serums back then? Did I fuck. I washed it with the budget own brand supermarket shampoo my mum bought, put nothing else on it, and looked like I’d just had my make-up done by the same people who did the kid from The Shining’s.
4 year-old me

All this went tragically wrong when, after thirteen and a bit years with straight hair, I woke up one day in 1989 with a curly frizz that wouldn’t go away. “It’s because of wanking,” said Stuart, a builder I used played golf with in Nottinghamshire. Taking his words to heart, I decided to give up for a couple of weeks, but it wasn’t much fun and, if anything, the curls got worse.

Now, of course, I would like some of the curls back, even though I still have a fair few. Thick curls are very slightly like large breasts in probably this way only: they’re brilliant and a lot of people want them but frequently not the people who actually own them. I lost a few more of my curls in 2011 when I set fire to them on a tealight candle while DJing in a bar in Norwich. One of the problems with walking around in a public place with your hair on fire is that social convention requires you to laugh it up, while inside a fair bit of you is dying. While thankfully the signature smell did dissipate after a day or so, that patch at the front has never properly grown back. People have assured that me you can’t tell but I’m still aware of its absence. A bonus of the psychedelic headbands I’ve been sporting this summer is that they stop me thinking about it, although that’s not one of the main two reasons I wear them. The main two reasons I wear them are that in 1985 I did the same thing - though in a more sporty, less hippie way, it has to be said - for a whole summer and it made me really happy, and that I enjoy dressing slightly foolishly, having done some first person research on the option of dressing non-foolishly and found it unsatisfactory. There are the inevitable problems with these headbands: the people with a narrow frame of cultural reference who mention Axl Rose or Rambo, but I’m not dressing for them, I’m dressing for me, just as, when I treat myself to a packet of crisps, I’m not eating those crisps for someone I barely know who has only ever eaten two types of crisp. Sometimes people also look at my headband and ask me, “Is that ironic?” At these points I always do what everyone should do when a person asks “Is that ironic?” about their clothing and pick them up and throw them in a lake.

Am I overly interested in my own hair? Perhaps, but probably no more so than many other men I know, and, in the moments when I berate myself for my vanity in checking in the mirror whether my hair is looking passable, I take comfort from the fact that I will never be as obsessed with my own hair as I am with other people’s. One of my favourite examples of hair from history is that carefully cultivated by Ann Wilson from Heart during 1977 and 1978: especially during one particular two month period when her fringe was especially sharp. If I had a time machine, I’d love to go back to the period of Charles II and the Jazz Age, but on the way I’d definitely stop in 1979, and, ten seconds before Ann opened the door to the hairdresser’s where she was booked to get the perm that would blight her image for much of the next decade, I’d slip a piece of card surreptitiously onto the appropriate chair in the salon, on which I’d written “WILSON! NO!” in a mock blood-streaked font. If I still often think about the lovely hair of a woman in her sixties I spoke to while foraging on the North Norfolk coast four summers ago: the way its salt-dried, dark grey tendrils seemed to speak of the long, healthy, magical life of a good witch.
Ann Wilson of Heart (right) in the late 70s

If everyone is a certain percentage gay and I am, I don't know, say, 7%, I would not be surprised if all of that 7% is taken up in the form of admiring nice hair when it happens to be on men. The Parallax View is one of my favourite films, not least because of the stellar performance in the lead role by Warren Beatty’s hair, and the almost as great supporting one from Warren Beatty. If you added up all the time I’ve spent thinking about the hair of early 70s Warren Beatty and Robert Redford - particularly the way it looked in the first quarter of The Candidate - I imagine it would total out at around a full bank holiday weekend. I could have spent that bank holiday weekend cramming in any number of those activities people are always telling you you have to do before you die but, contrary to what popular wisdom might suggest, I have no regrets.
Warren Beatty in The Parallax View

Touchy-feely shampoos and conditioners with packaging that talks about stuff like “your relationship with your hair” make me want to punch my bathroom door off its hinges, but there do seem to be obvious examples in popular culture of how a greater awareness of your hair can aid that hair’s survival. Perhaps if hair is ignored, it ends up wanting to run away? Mick Jagger has always seemed very conscious of his hair and its need for exercise, which is perhaps why he still has so absurdly much of it, at the age of 72. Or perhaps it is just because he is a singer in a famous band and all singers in famous bands are only 91% likely to lose their hair in middle age, as opposed to guitarists, who are 64% likely, bassists, who are 22% likely, and drummers, who are only 7% likely.

I’m not sure what the percentage is for writers. Woody Allen was already severely receding in his 30s, but then a few years later his hair seemed to say “Right, I’ll stick now” as if it was playing Pontoon, not being hair. It hasn’t all that changed much since. I don’t know what mine is planning. You can never tell what hair’s next move is. Until about five years ago I didn’t even notice that I had eyebrows. Now they want to annexe Somerset. I am sort of at peace with the idea of letting my hair fly from the wings, Terry Nutkins-style, when it the top bit finally departs, but maybe that’s because I have watched too much archive footage of professional football in the 1970s, which was a period when many of the players in the first division were as old as 63 and proudly balding. Hopefully I’m still quite few years away from that, and in the meantime I am simply enjoying looking slightly more like a magician from the 16th Century than I did at the start of the year. I’ve still got a way to go before I reach full 16th Century magician. It takes patience, especially when, like mine, your hair can often be absent-minded, and wander off on long detours. I have, however, bought my hair a book on magic in the 16th Century and I’m hoping that will help.

Pre-order my new book.

Sea is definitely your friend but also your hair enemy. It can seriously dry your hair out making it prone to breakage. Perhaps prep hair with protective balm or oil before plunging into sea. You'll get all the floofiness you're after with a lot less of the damage. R x

Let it grow! Can't just be coincidence that I am always at my happiest when my hair is at its longest.

Dave said...

I'm very pleased to see that, having followed your writing for a couple of years now, you're finally coming around to discussing the important things in life. Like I was pleased when I finally saw Withnail & I and the importance of hair was discussed by Danny. I started growing my hair in my teens (obviously), but had a weird period in my twenties where I made an attempt at sensible hair. I was never truly happy during this time. It was hard work regrowing to shoulder length, having weird sort-of-curly-but-not-quite hair, but it was worth it in the end. For a few years I enjoyed my messy, wavy, multicoloured hair (I had natural streaks of near blonde in amongst the various browns), but then things went wrong. It started getting thin. I didn't mind when the grey hairs started making an appearance, and the fact that I'd never quite have the smooth shiny black goth popstar look I was really after, but I'm now at the point where I'm very concious of a bald patch on top which is becoming increasingly obvious. I've since had my hair cut shorter (but not short, not yet) which has helped a little, but the annoying thing is - I don't have anyone to discuss this issue with. A large section of my male friends and famliy are without significant hair, and I'd feel slightly daft moaning at them. Anyone I have discussed it with think I should just clipper it all over and get on with life. I'm not sure I can do this.
Anyway, good luck with your future hair Tom. Make the most of it while you can. Great article, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to vent on a topic close to my heart.

I think it was 1986 that I went to bed with straight hair and woke up the next morning with curls. I had ringlets for the next decade or so, but only on top! The hair at the back rebelled and stayed straight. And then it all went wrong. An ongoing bout of alopecia areata has left me with hair so thin and wispy you can see my scalp through it, and it's lost almost all of the pigment. A sorry sight indeed! But toujours gai Archy; I have taken to dyeing it whatever colour takes my fancy (no need to bleach since it's white already!) and to hell with it. Just now it's pastel pink, lilac, and aqua; and I am rocking it like whoa. If it ever grows back properly and stays, I'll be thrilled to bits (and will take it for a proper haircut instead of doing it myself with the kitchen scissors) but in the meantime we've pretty much made our peace.

Crimony Jones said...

I applaud both your hair-growing adventures and dedication to sartorial silliness. I've been cutting my own hair for years now, and am on a mission to grow it down to my waist. We'll see if I get utterly sick of it before then, but that's the goal for now.

I have longish hair but always end up tying it up.

Cynthia F said...

Dear Tom, I think you might be a bit more than 7% gay, and I wish you would not write quite so many things that make me laugh so hard I pee myself. I know having long hair makes me feel pretty and it seems you feel the same way. XOXO.

What do the cats think about your satorial decision?

Chateepatee said...

I do believe you forgot the other half of that quote Tom. It should read " grass doesn't grow on a busy street... but it doesn't grow on concrete either"!
I last cut my hair the month my beloved sister died from cancer. At the time I had a near pixie cut. Today my hair is waist length. When someone you love leaves you, often times the grieving is so profound that there really is no way to express it even to oneself. Somehow the increasing length of my hair became a subtle but constant reminder of the friendship & love between two sisters raised in a family amongst 5 boys. Some days I can't remember exactly how many years it's been since I've been without my big sister, but one touch to my long braid reminds my heart that it's been a very, very long time.

Julia said...

I am surprised you haven't mentioned Elton John who now has better hair, more of and a different colour to the hair he had throughout the 1970s and 80s - a time during which his hairstyle emulated that of a troll toy.

Elgiva said...

As an owner of both curls and large breasts, I must be one of the fewer percentage of people who have them that do actually enjoy having them. For years I battled with my hair, running straighteners all over it before I left the house, now I can't remember the last time I used them. Part of this may be due to getting older and becoming a scruffy hippie, but mostly it's because I like my hair doing it's own groovy thing and if it wants to curl, then who am I to stop it?
As much as I'd like to punch my bathroom door off it's hinges when I see what's written on my [admittedly over-priced nice-ish] shampoo, I'm always stopped by the fact that my bathroom is opposite my front door, and the lack of door would render me vulnerable to the postman seeing me sat on the toilet reading old Viz comics.

I too have previously set my hair on fire, although this was due to the fact I was an idiot teenager, desperate for booze money and acceptance among my peers, and was offered £5 for alighting a chunk in the pub as a dare. Fortunately for me it grew back, but the dignity and regret at prostituting myself so cheaply did not. This, however, did not stop me from eating a greenfly for another £5 dare a few weeks later. Obviously now I'm older and a little bit wiser, I'd never do any of the previous again, and I'm thankful my hair seems to have forgiven me for being such a tit.

The other day I saw a kid in town sporting a headband slightly like yours, but whereas yours makes you look pretty cool, his made him look like a cross between the guys from the Matrix and an anime cartoon, possibly due to the massive fringe hanging over it and the long black coat he had paired it with. Stick to wearing yours with flares and I think you'll carry on rocking it.

Ruth Hayes said...

I have curls and large breasts (and am pretty happy with both) and once set my daughter's hair on fire during a Christingle service. I think this is all I need to add to this debate, having come belatedly to the party

Top 10 things to see and do in Thailand

| March 29, 2014 | Comments

These days, beautiful Thailand is one of the world’s most appealing and coveted tourist destinations. Because this exciting nation, which is situated in Southeast Asia (close to the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand), offers visitors access to a distinct culture, as well as unparalleled natural beauty, it provides a holiday experience that is truly second to none.

Top 10 things to see and do in Thailand

Whether you’re craving city lights and vibrant nightlife or out-of-doors adventures, you’ll find that Thailand definitely delivers. Now, let’s talk about some awesome things to see and do in this scenic part of the world…

Top Ten Things to See and Do in Thailand

10.) Attend the Full Moon Party – Does a beach party which lasts the whole night through sound like something that you’d enjoy? If so, you need to check out Thailand’s infamous Full Moon Party! This joyous event happens every month, when the moon waxes full (or the night afterward), and it’s a guaranteed good time. Located on the gorgeous island of Ko Pha Ngan, this traditional Thai party is a perfect way to meet locals and tourists alike.

9.) Experience Buddhist Culture in Koh Samui – Most of the population of serene and lovely Koh Samui Island is Buddhist, so dropping by this part of Thailand will be a perfect way to learn more about this peaceful religion. An assortment of palm-flanked beaches (you’ll love the fragrant tropical breezes!) make this island a must-see for backpackers (or any other types of visitors). One beach to check out is Mae Nam, on the north coast.

8.) Enjoy Wild Nightlife in Bangkok – A famous song features the lyrics, “one night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster”. That’s because this city is world-renowned for its spirited nightlife and its plethora of exotic pleasures. If you’re there by day, explore glittering temples, ornate palaces and fascinating museums, and then experience the city’s bars and fine dining by moonlight. Alongside this, there are loads of free things to do in Bangkok that will help your budget stretch that little bit further!

7.) Get Back to Nature at Khao Yai National Park – Founded in the 1960s, this national park is the second-biggest in the country. Known for its lush foliage (it is the home of a dizzying array of plant life!), the park offers total serenity to those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Bird-watchers will adore what this park offers, as over three hundred bird species populate the area.

Top Ten Things to See and Do in Thailand

6.) Shop at the Floating Markets – To live the life of a typical Thai, be sure to do a little shopping at one of the nation’s distinctive, floating markets (such as Taling Chan Market). There are a variety of these markets near Bangkok, and they offer charms galore to newcomers. From coconut juices to local cuisine, these markets provide access to some delicious and authentic flavours.

5.) Make New Friends at Chaweng Beach – Located in Samui Island, this pristine, white-sand stunner is the perfect beach for tourists. Because the beach is close to a range of deluxe resorts and backpacker’s accommodations, it’s an ideal meeting place for people from all walks of life.

4.) Enjoy Outdoor Adventure in Krabi – If you love rock climbing, you’ll discover that Krabi, Thailand provides exquisite options for outdoor adventure. When you visit, you’ll also be able to drink in some amazing sights, including caves and scenic waterways. In addition, Krabi-area beaches are close to plenty of exciting guided tours, eateries and boutiques.

3.) Prachuap Khiri Khan – Located about one hundred and fifty miles from Bangkok, Prachuap Khiri Khan is the home to exceptional Hua Hin beach, which was the preferred locale of generations of Thai royals. In fact, a summer palace for a Thai king was built in the area.

2.) Swim with Turtles at Koh Tao – If you love to scuba dive or snorkel, you’ll find that the Koh Tao region provides wonderful access to superlative diving/snorkeling. Also known as “Turtle Island”, Koh Tao is the perfect place to experience inspiring underwater wonders, up close and personal. Aside from charming turtles, you may expect to see plenty of other forms of marine life (and lots of pretty coral).

Top Ten Things to See and Do in Thailand

1.) Shop ‘til You Drop at Chiang Mai Night Bazaar – No trip to Thailand is complete without a jaunt to Chiang Mai night market. Situated in the north of the country, this celebrated shopping mecca covers many city blocks. Explore walkways, shop inside of buildings and wander temple grounds as you check out a rainbow-riot of traditional Thai wares.

Pay with a new kind of 'plastic'

By , Toronto Sun

First posted:

Plastic is the new paper.

The polymer $100 bill made its debut Monday, officially blending into circulation.

The paper feels similar to a parking ticket and the bill's biggest features are security-based.

A transparent window shows a hologram of Prime Minister Robert Borden and the Parliament tower. The 100 number is raised and there's another transparent window over the Maple Leaf that, when held up to the light, reveals a hidden number.

"This is the most secure (note) in the bank's history," said Martine Warren, scientific advisor for the Bank of Canada.

"It's the largest transparent window that's ever been issued on a polymer note. It's been the first time a holographic stripe has been applied on a polymer note."

The new $100 bills cost 19 cents to manufacture — almost double the cost of the 10-cent paper bills — but the Bank of Canada assures they will last longer than the existing ones.

"In addition to the impressive security features to stay ahead of counterfeiting threats, these notes will last 2.5 times longer than the traditional paper-based notes and therefore, they will be more economical," said Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney.

Irene Chen, who helps her parents run the Royal Foodland convenience store in Toronto, looked confused as she looked at the new plastic $100.

"For us, we're used to getting $100 bills," she said. "I have no problem with knowing the real and fake ones, but now I'm going to have to learn what to do with these.

“It's good to increase security. A lot of storeowners lose money on accepting $100 bills. With anything new, you just have to get used to it."

But some still prefer paper over plastic.

"It feels phoney," said Carrie Goodyear, 68, who has seen Canadian currency come in and out of print. "It doesn't feel like money."

The new notes — developed by teams of chemists, physicists and engineers and other experts from the Bank of Canada — have a smaller environmental footprint than the old currency made from cotton-based paper.

Once these polymer notes are removed from circulation, they will be recycled into black pellets, which can be moulded into things such as recycling bins, chairs and shipping crates.

They are also more stain-resistant ,even when dipped in water, juice or red wine.

"They're not completely indestructible," Warren warned "I don't recommend lighting a note on fire. They do melt, but they're very difficult to tear."

The existing 290 million $100 paper notes in circulation will eventually be destroyed as the new plastic bills are introduced.

The polymer $50 bills will be out in March while the new $5, $10 and $20 banknotes will launch in late 2013.

Brioche (muffin size)

I feel like a treatie.  I feel like something decadent, delicious, and worthy of a morning with a good cup of coffee and a paper.

There are few things so delightful on a Sunday morning than warm brioche.

I have no plans for tomorrow and think I need a delightful Sunday morning. Look at what we're going to make!!  *we as in you and I, no one here will play with me*

I'm making Brioche.  The dough is rising in the fridge.  In theory, I will take it out of the fridge, punch it down and form it into 12 mini brioches, let them rise an hour and bake them.

I don't make these too often for me.  I am sort of cheap and feel the half pound of butter in it is prohibitive, well, to make something just for me.  I make these for friends regularly.  That's out the window today, I need a treat and apparently, I'm the one to make it.

Tracy's Brioche Mini's

In the bowl of a Cuisinart (food processor), combine:
4 Tbsp water
2 tsp sugar
2 1/2 tsp yeast (or one packed)
Allow to proof about 10 minutes.

ADD (all at once)
3 eggs
3/4 tsp salt (kosher)
2 cups a/p flour
Pulse until just combined.  Add 2 sticks (1/2 cup) cool, but softened, butter
Pulse until it's sticky and smooth, don't overwork it
Use a rubber spatula and put it in a bowl in a relatively round shape.  Cover with plastic wrap (I butter the plastic with the butter wrapper) and put in the fridge.  Leave in there overnight to rise.
In the morning, remove the risen dough to a lightly flour dusted board and divide into 12 balls.
 Roll each ball into a round then roll the side of your hand along one quarter of the ball to form a second, smaller, ball (see picture)  Pick up by the small ball and drop into a buttered muffin tin.

Repeat... make a ball, chop/roll the top third, pick it up my it's little head and drop/press into a buttered tin.  No, I don't own brioche molds, maybe one of these days I'll spring for some.

Brush with egg and leave to double, about an hour.
30 minutes into the rise, preheat the oven to 375.  I put mine to rise in a makeshift proofing box, yes, it's a roasting tin over them.  *sigh*  After they've risen, about an hour, brush them with egg again and pop them into a preheated oven.
 When the brioche has risen (not doubled but definitely puffier), brush a second time with egg and bake until brown, crispy, risen, beautiful, puffy and airy.   BAKE, 375 for 25 minutes.   Remove immediately from the tins and leave to cool for a few minutes at least.

Here's the beauty shots:
They are crispy and airy and buttery and light...
I slather them in butter and then put a blob of my homemade strawberry jam... yeah, that works.

These are high bang for the relatively easy dough making, just wait overnight, buck.  Go make them.  They are light, airy, buttery, crispy, soft, and feel extravagant.

Seriously, go make them.

I like mine slathered with the homemade jam I made.  Even though you have to think about these the night before, they're easier than regular bread and so rich and decadent and delicious.

Truly, go make these.
