The Doctors dish on The Ultimate Hangover Breakfast.
When I used to drink, Hangover day was nothing but sleep, but for some people eating is an option. You might want to try this is you can keep anything down.....
This Hangover Smoothie Recipe is a great way to start you're day after a night out. It's loaded with vitamin B6 to increase metabolism rate, potassium for depleted electrolytes, plus magnesium and honey to fuel your liver.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup of Milk (vitamin D)
- 1 Whole Banana (rich in vitamin B6 and potassium)
- 1 Tbsp of Honey (loaded with magnesium)
- Cup of Ice
Combine all ingredients in a blender, blend well and enjoy!
The Hangover Omelet Recipe provides vitamin B12 to deliver a quick energy boost, plus asparagus for 2/3 of your daily dose of vitamin K, which helps overall brain function.
Ingredients :
- 1/4 cup of egg substitute(protein)
- 1-oz. of low-fat cheddar cheese (vitamin B12)
- 2 Pieces of Asparagus(a detox vegetable loaded with potassium)
- Tbsp of butter or 1 Tbsp of olive oil
Heat a nonstick sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Let the eggs cook until the bottom starts to set. With a rubber spatula, push edge of egg into the center of the pan while tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath the already cooked portions. Repeat until liquid egg is cooked. Gently flip cooked egg over using the spatula. Add cheese and cooked asparagus. Cook for another few seconds. Using the spatula, fold one edge of the egg across and over until the edges line up. Transfer to a plate.
To prepare the asparagus, place it in a large skillet of water, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered until tender.

You gotta check this house out, then go to the website and read ALL about it.
Here are some Key Points...
Dug into hillside for low visual impact and shelter
Stone and mud from diggings used for retaining walls, foundations etc.
Frame of oak thinnings (spare wood) from surrounding woodland
Reciprocal roof rafters are structurally and aesthetically fantastic and very easy to do
Straw bales in floor, walls and roof for super-insulation and easy building
Plastic sheet and mud/turf roof for low impact and ease
Lime plaster on walls is breathable and low energy to manufacture (compared to cement)
Reclaimed (scrap) wood for floors and fittings
Anything you could possibly want is in a rubbish pile somewhere (windows, burner, plumbing, wiring...)
Wood burner for heating - renewable and locally plentiful
Flue goes through big stone/plaster lump to retain and slowly release heat
Fridge is cooled by air coming underground through foundations
Skylight in roof lets in natural feeling light
Solar panels for lighting, music and computing
Water by gravity from nearby spring
Compost toilet
Roof water collects in pond for garden etc.

100 year old letter to Santa found in Dublin
MICHAEL O'REGAN and PAMELA DUNCAN
via the Irishtimes.com
IT MAY have been slightly scorched over the years but a letter to Santa written 100 years ago, which was later discovered in a Dublin fireplace, has the magic of Christmas written all over it.
On Christmas Eve 1911, a brother and sister, who signed their names, “A or H Howard”, penned their personally designed letter to Santa with their requests for gifts and a good luck message at their home in Oaklands Terrace, Terenure (or Terurnure, as the children spelled it) in Dublin.
They placed it in the chimney of the fireplace in the front bedroom so that Santa would see it as he made his way into the Howard household in the early hours of the morning.
The letter was discovered by the house’s current occupant, John Byrne, when he was installing central heating in 1992.
Since then, he has retained it as a souvenir of another time and place but with the stamp of childhood innocence which still exists today.
The message to Santa was warm but explicit.
“I want a baby doll and a waterproof with a hood and a pair of gloves and a toffee apple and a gold penny and a silver sixpence and a long toffee.”
Ownership of the house changed over the decades, with the Byrne family moving there in 1961, but the letter survived.
“At that time, the fireplaces were made of brick with a shelf on either side,” said John Byrne who works in the building industry.
“The letter was found on one of the shelves.”
The letter remained remarkably intact given the passage of time and was only slightly burned from fires set in the house over the years.
As well as the requests for gifts from Santa the letter also contains drawings and a message of “Good Luck” to Santa from the children.
According to the 1911 census there were three children living at the address in the year in which the letter was written.
The youngest of them, Hannah, who was 10 at the time, and Fred (presumably short for Alfred) who was seven, fit in with the initials on the letter.
A third child, a 13-year-old called Lily, is also listed.
The Howard family were all born in England, including parents Fred Hamer Howard, an “under manager” in a plumber merchants, and his wife Mary Elizabeth. They listed their religion as Church of Ireland.

First Candle of the Menorah to be Lit in Grand Parade to Celebrate Hanukkah
Mayor Peter Kelly and Regional Councillors invite HRM residents to the lighting of the Hanukkah Menorah this Tuesday (Dec. 20) at 6 pm in Grand Parade Square.
Hanukkah is an eight-day Festival of Lights beginning on the Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev which this year falls on December 20th through to the 28th.
The giant Menorah has been erected by the Chabad Lubavitch Organization to promote awareness and appreciation of the Hanukkah Festival and its message - the triumph of freedom over oppression, spirit over matter, light over darkness. A candle will be lit each additional night during Hanukkah. The ninth candle in the Menorah - Shamash - is the candle to light all other candles.
Want to make Better Decisions?? Think of yourself in the Third Person
From io9.com
We often struggle between taking care of ourselves and making other people happy. Psychology Today notes that thinking of yourself in the third person—however silly—can keep you from ignoring your own needs.
Yes, I admit, this approach makes me sound a bit affected and self-important, but the thing is, it really works.
It's silly sure, but if it works, it can be a good habit to get into—you know, as long as you don't start doing it out loud and in public. Hit the link to read more. --> http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-happiness-project/201112/think-yourself-in-the-third-person

HRP launches Online Crime Prevention Video Series
Halifax Regional Police is trying new ways to educate the public on what they can do to prevent becoming victims of crime. Building on the momentum of the in-person Crime Prevention Series meetings held in the fall, HRP has launched an Online Crime Prevention Video Series which can be found on YouTube at www.youtube.com/hfxregpolice.
In the first video of the series, Community Response Officer George Farmer shares simple tips that will help homeowners and renters protect their homes from thieves. The series will cover other topics including theft from vehicles, internet safety and cyber bullying, seniors’ and personal safety, and fraud and identity theft.
HRP will also take to their Twitter and Facebook pages from December 13 - 23 to report every residential break and enter that takes place in HRP jurisdiction during the previous 24 hours. The intent is to educate the public on the frequency of this crime and the importance of taking easy steps to protect your home from thieves.
“Break and enters have been an on-going issue in HRM and we want to do everything we can to prevent them, especially during the holiday season,” explains Chief Frank Beazley. “Our hope with this initiative is to show citizens just how frequently this crime is occurring, offer tips on how they can decrease their chances of having their home broken into, and ultimately change behaviours.”
This isn’t the first time HRP has turned to social media to fight crime. A similar campaign, focused on theft from vehicles, was launched in August. “Though we didn’t see a dramatic reduction in the number of thefts from vehicles, we’ve received feedback from citizens telling us they have changed their behaviour because of the campaign,” says Chief Beazley. HRP is hopeful that the video series and B&E social media campaign will do the same.

H&M Dragons Tattoo Line just in time for the Holidays
Having read the book or not it doesn't really matter, you should read them they are great, but that isn't what this blog post is about. The "Hollywood" take on the books is being released later this month and the clothing line comes out on the 14th. It will be available at a few locations (here in Halifax I have no idea) But you will be able to grab it online is you can't get it locally. Some of it I really really like, Some of the collection you could get at a second hand shop and pay Dramatically less. Pieces will range from 199.99 to 9.99, for some pieces the price point makes sense, for other pieces not so much (In my opinion anyway!)
This Coat is around 70 bucks, that makes sense, see the whole collection & the prices at http://www.hm.com/ca/

What to expect when your expecting
If there isn't REALLY anything about this movie that you find interesting.....you can skip ahead to 1:50 in, that's when we see Joe Manganiello ...... shirtless......Jusy Sayin'
The Self Portrait
Heaven knows we see LOTS of them thanks to Facebook, but after a while the same kind of photo of that girl taking a photo of herself in the bathroom mirror, gets....well, BORING!
These are Self Portraits. It's actually grown from a "I love myself so much" kinda thing to a legit sub-category of Portraiture.

Pet GPS?! YES!
GPS FOR PETS: Pet parents won't have to worry about losing their faithful companions with the Tagg Pet Tracker. The tracker allows you to use GPS to track your pet's location from your computer or mobile device. If your pet strays from your Tagg zone, the system alerts you by email or text message, and you can use the interactive map to locate your lost pet. The master kit comes with everything you need, including a device that attaches to an existing collar. It's designed for pets over 10 pounds. The first year of service is included with your purchase ($99.95, includes one free month of service; $7.95 per month thereafter) at Tagg.com.

The Word Hero....
....is tossed around a lot these days. Sometimes, if someone brings me a coffee at 3pm on a Monday afternoon, I tell them they are my hero. It's not so much that they have saved my life, it's become a way to express my gratitude. War Heroes, sports heroes (Crosby's Golden Goal come to mind here) all fall into different categories.
What I want, and what I'm trying to say, is that this time of year, we all of the opportunity to be heroes to someone. 101.3 The BOUNCE is helping with this years Empire Theaters Annual Toy Drive for the Salvation Army. This year the need for Toys is huge. And we are into days 2 of our Live Broadcasts from Empire Theaters, and already, we are floored by your generosity. We say all year round that BOUNCE Listeners are the Best Looking, Smartest, and most generous listeners in HRM. And we support things Like the Empire Theaters Annual Toy Drive for the Salvation Army, you come through bigger and better then could hope for.
When people in our communities fall on hard times, as we all do from time to time, it's important to give them a hand, to show then that falling on hard times isn't a permanent situation, that there is an entire community out the that's behind them and pulling for them. It's a chance to open our hearts to complete strangers and show that in this world of cynicism there is still genuine caring, and concern. It's a chance for our community leaders to stop with the bickering over Oval names or concert scandals, or whatever else the buzz topic of the day is, and for them to realize that as a community HRM is more than finger pointing, it's more than any of us realize. That's what this time of year does for me, and it's all thanks to our listeners.

Vancouver’s multiplatinum selling chart-toppers, Hedley are back with their fourth studio album, Storms and a cross-Canada tour kicking off in Kelowna, BC on February 10, 2012.
Available November 8 and featuring the hot debut single, “Invincible”, Storms explodes with trademark Hedley anthemic pop songs “One Life” and “Heaven’s Gonna Wait”. “Invincible” burst onto the digital singles chart in August and in the first week alone sold over 14 000 copies – Hedley’s strongest singles sales debut to date - and in less than five weeks, the song is already nearing digital gold-selling status.
Watch the video here: http://tv.evenko.ca/uncategorized/hedley-annonce%E2%80%A6%C3%A9e-canadienne
Storms also features frontman, Jacob Hoggard sharing co-writing credits with the Grammy Award winning artist, Babyface on the track “Stormy”. Hoggard also produced two songs on Storms (“Beautiful” & “I Won't Let You Go”) and one bonus track, (“All You Get Is Sound”).
The list of Hedley accolades is long, some recent highlights include: three consecutive double platinum certifications - Hedley (2005), Famous Last Words (2007) and The Show Must Go (2009); over 1,000,000 digital singles sold; 2010 JUNO Award for ‘Video of the Year’ (“Perfect”); ten consecutive #1 Videos at Much Music - a record for any Canadian band; four Top Ten radio singles from The Show Must Go alone (“Perfect”, “Cha-Ching”, “Don’t Talk to Strangers”, “Hands Up”); and listed as one of the top 100 touring artists in the world of 2010 (Pollstar, October 18, 2010).
Lady Gaga - Marry The Night
I grabbed this from Perezhilton.com, it's Gaga's explination of the Video..
Lady GaGa's directorial debut is a 14 minute long look into GaGa's mind. The night Island Def Jam dropped her. The struggles that went through her mind. The ambitions.
But she wants to make sure her little monsters know exactly what was going through her head when she created this video. Marry the Night is her interpretation of that day.
And she explains it like this:
It is my personal way of seeing things. If you give up after something like that, you were never destined to be an entertainer.
It was one of the worst days of my life and it happened quite quickly, but in my mind, when I think back on that period of my life, it all happened very slow.
I was naked in real life when it happened. That's probably the most honest moment in that video of everything I've ever done. My directorial decision was for them to just f–king roll the cameras, because I couldn't go in and out of the moment.
In order to be great writing music, you have to acknowledge what is wrong with your work, or what is dishonest about it. What have I not been really great at?
I don't know, I don't have an answer to that question. I love the obstacles. To marry your obstacles mean I, the artist, wholeheartedly accept everything you throw at me, I am destined to struggle, I am destined to write music about the struggle, and I accept it willingly.
Well it definitely takes a lot of guts to admit that in this industry!
GaGa's latest video is her most ambitious to date. And we wonder how much more directing she has on the agenda.

Prince + Halifax = More than I ever expected!
To The People who shared the air with me at The Halifax Metro Center on November 30 2011, I wanted to say Thank-You.
Thank you because The Prince Concert is a Concert I have been waiting for, for as long as I can remember. Thank You to everyone around me in Section 23, who were considerate of those around you, thank you, for singing every word of every song with me. Thank you for being amazing.
I’ve been to a few shows, and I’ve had some amazingly terrible experiences, not with the artist performing, but with individuals who pushed, and shoved. Who paid no care to the people they were sharing the experience with.
I believe this speaks VOLUMES about the type of people Prince attracts to him. Positivity, and desire to put the flippin’ Smartphone down, and connect with living breathing people who are beside you, in front of, or behind you.
What I experienced last night was beyond anything I could have hoped for, and it was everything I’ve ever imagined it could be, and the people in the crowd as well and Prince and his Band were all collectively responsible for that. THANK YOU!
I’ve been a lifelong fan of Prince, which I can assure you raised eyebrows at 11 years old, but I LOVED him then, and I will always view Prince as my Number One All Time Artist. I’m not going to try to convince anyone I’m his “Biggest Fan” Because in reality of it all, I doubt that I am. I have his albums, I own his movies, I read or watch or listen to any interview Prince does or has done that I can find, I know what First Avenue and 7th Street Entry is, and I understand the importance of the Minneapolis Music scene and the influence it has had on him, and the influence he has had on it.
I understand why last night, when security caught people taking photos they made them delete the photos. I get Prince. I know how protective he is of his image and intellectual property. He is his music, his music is him.
To Prince, today I would say Thank You, for being more than I Hoped. Thank You for making the music that you make, and Thank you for putting everything that you are into your music, last night at the Halifax Metro Center, with you and your band I screamed, I cried, I danced, then I was in awe, and cried again, then danced then screamed then GLEEFULLY sang along, and cried some more.
Prince, is more than a person, more than a performer, and more than an artist. He is ideal, and I’m glad that for a couple hours last night, Prince and his Band, brought his show to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and I’m glad I was lucky enough to be there and be part of it.
