Plan home cooked meals ahead of time

Plan home cooked meals ahead of time. Meal planning in

advance can save you time and money. We’ve all resorted to

the drive-through at the end of a hectic day with no dinner

plans in mind. But even cheap fast food for a medium sized

family can set you back $25 or more and may not provide the

nutrition you’d like for your family. These costs can add up

over time – especially as your kids begin driving and

spending time (and money) on their own. To avoid a

“convenience” hit to your wallet, plan menus in advance and

have food thawed out or prepped so you can start cooking when

you get home.

Fill them up. Complex carbs are your friends when it comes to

getting the most value from your dollar. Whole grains and

healthy starches (like sweet potatoes or squash), tend to be

reasonably priced, are nutritious and will fill your kids up

as part of a balanced meal. When friends come over, plan a

filling meal that includes a serving of carbs such as whole-

grain pancakes for breakfast or pasta for dinner.

Feed the herd – for less. If your kids have neighbors,

friends, teammates or club members who regularly come to your

house and snack or eat meals, it’s imperative that you have

an inventory on hand. This should include readily available

snacks – otherwise they may eat everything you have planned

for meals during the week. Buying snack food like granola

bars, fruit snacks, crackers or chips in bulk can help keep

your budget under control, and cost effective snack options

like popcorn, hard boiled eggs, bananas, and even tubs of

hummus are all relatively healthy treats that can be a hit

with hungry friends. For crowds that drop by for dinner,

stock up on pasta and sauce or keep frozen stashes of taco

filling, chili or soups that can be prepared quickly.

Morse, who joined Yahoo in 2009, served as the company's

interim CEO for five months from September 2011 to January

2012 after the firing of Carol Bartz and before the hiring of

Scott Thompson. His five months as interim CEO turned out to

be one month longer than Thompson's tenure - the former

PayPal executive was ousted after it was revealed he lied on

his resume.

Morse is credited with being the driving force behind Yahoo's

recent $7.6 billion deal with Chinese e-commerce company

Alibaba Group. In that deal, which was negotiated on-and-off

for months before being sealed over the summer, Yahoo sold

about half of its 40 per cent stake in Alibaba.
And yes, these are appellations used by others for

politicians. When the netas themselves speak, the language

laced with euphemisms and tortuous explanations smacks of

duplicity. As Orwell put it, the speech is designed to “give

an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”

A friend recalls an address at an election rally many years

ago by a local politician who thought he was extolling the

virtues and work of a senior ministerial colleague. The

speech went thus: “Today when we are surrounded by parties

which want to grab power to make money, the honourable

minister is here in genuine service of the poor.  Politicians

forget the voters as soon as they are elected, but the

honourable minister makes a trip every weekend to his home

constituency. He, our honourable minister, is there for us.”

If you forget the clumsiness of the phrasing, it might well

remind you of the biting irony of Mark Antony's funeral

oration for Caesar. When Shakespeare repeated the lines,

“Brutus is an honourable man”, the sarcasm wasn’t

missed.Here are five common causes which lead to a bloated

belly and ways to treat them

Yet just as the black experience of Civil War fighting encapsulated the social direction that the war was taking, so too did the black experience with Civil War death. African Americans risked their lives on many more fronts than did white Yankees or Rebels. They took flight from plantations in the face of double-barreled shotguns, and they could be hunted down in the woods and the swamps by armed Home Guards. They entered Union lines and contraband camps--men, women, and children among them--in the many hundreds, and lived in conditions that bred life-threatening illnesses. Those who enlisted in the Union Army died in dramatic numbers, overwhelmingly of disease. Of the 180,000 who served at some point in the war, one in five would perish.
Among the riskiest activities in which black soldiers engaged was retrieving and burying the Union war dead. When the war ended, they were heavily involved not only in the army of occupation that began to "reconstruct" the former Confederate South, but also in a massive reburial program that the federal government undertook. That program, Faust remarks, like Reconstruction more broadly, "represented an extraordinary departure" and "an indication of the very different sort of nation that had emerged as a result of civil war."
Although This Republic of Suffering would seem to be focused chiefly on wartime death, many of its most arresting and brilliantly conceived interventions illuminate the ways in which the Civil War dead reshaped the consciousness, the practices, and the structures of postwar America. With great insight and subtlety, Faust demonstrates how mass death raised profound spiritual and intellectual questions for many Americans, the pursuit of which led in a number of directions: to serious doubts about God's benevolence and agency; to new ideas of the relation of heaven and earth; to crises of belief that pointed, in the writings of Emily Dickinson, Ambrose Bierce, and Herman Melville, to modernist disillusionment; and, especially among defeated white southerners, to religious and political energies that simultaneously anticipated the emergence of the Bible Belt and promoted the Cult of the Lost Cause.
