43. Fiber: Zen Food And Internal Cleanser

    http://www.renewalresearch.com/con_ren_chapts_fiber.htm
    
    Extractions: The following is Chapter 30 from Renewal: The Anti-Aging Revolution by Timothy J. Smith, M.D.: Fiber: Zen Food and Internal Cleanser I am convinced digestion is the great secret of life. Sydney Smith (1771-1845), British clergyman and author Few issues in medicine and nutritional science evoke general consensus among the experts. Fiber is one of the exceptions. Fiber plays an essential role in overall good nutrition and is necessary to achieve optimum health. It helps to prevent a broad range of diseases, including the two responsible for most deaths: heart disease and cancer. A fiber deficiency, on the other hand, contributes to a multiplicity of common health problemsseveral of which can deprive you of maximum life span. Most folks in the United States consume far too little fiber. For starters, the standard American diet still emphasizes foods of animal origin. Meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and eggs contain no fiber whatsoever. Then, too, our diet features an abundance of packaged foods, which have had their fiber stripped away. Like vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, fiber is often a casualty of modern refining and processing. Actually, the practice of removing fiber from foods has its roots in the earliest years of nutritional science. Back then, nutritionists deemed fiber expendable because it contains no nutrients, has no calories, and is indigestible. Fiber, they believed, does nothing.

44. Food Quotes: Beer
    more inseparable than Beer and Britannia? Sydney Smith (17711845) English writerand Anglican clergyman, quoted in Hesketh Pearson's 'The Smith of Smiths'.  
    http://www.foodreference.com/html/qbeer.html
    
    Extractions: Benjamin Franklin, (1706-1790). "It is disgusting to notice the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my subjects, and the amount of money that goes out of the country as a consequence. Everybody is using coffee; this must be prevented. His Majesty was brought up on beer, and so were both his ancestors and officers. Many battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the King does not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be relied upon to endure hardships in case of another war."

Eric Sweig, Canadian actor, on his days of homelessness and alcoholism: "That's when you really start to appreciate bowls of soupgetting a bowl of soup during the day, a hot bowl of soup, where I was homeless in Toronto, where it's 40 below zero in the winter time, where you get a bowl of soup, that's like God."

49. Cafe Nation
    From Round About Our CoalFire, 1731 If you want to improve yourunderstanding, drink coffee. -Sydney Smith, 1771-1845. Reading  
    http://www.cafenation.net/tradcoffeediv.shtml
    
    Extractions: The most well-known coffee divination technique is the reading of coffee grounds. The method is virtually identical to tea leaf divination, and both are known collectively by the term Tasseography. To read coffee grounds, you will of course need to prepare your coffee in such a way that there are grounds to read. If you are at a coffee house, the residue from a cappuccino will work nicely as well-just make sure that the cup is not so tall that you can't see clearly all the way to the bottom. Ask yourself the following question: "What do I need to know about my present situation?" What do you now see in the cup? The grounds will arrange themselves in random patterns. Interpreting the patterns is a little like a Rorschach test or laying on your back reading cloud formations. What you see and what it means to you will be very individual-two people reading the same cup can come up with very different interpretations, and both can be equally true. Now, take out a piece of paper and pen, and in a stream-of-consciousness style, begin jotting down your thoughts as you casually meditate on the shapes you see there. Above all, don't edit yourself. If the first thing that comes to mind has nothing to do with the coffee, jot it down anyway. For example, the first thing that enters your thoughts might be the dry-cleaning you need to pick up that afternoon. Write it down, all the while continuing to stare at your cup as if you were lying face up on your lawn staring at the clouds above. As much as possible, don't even look at the paper you are writing upon-keep your eyes on the grounds in your cup. It doesn't matter if your writing is illegible-it will be legible enough to you when you go back to it, if only enough so as to jar your memory to recall what your thoughts were at that moment.

    From Round About Our CoalFire, 1731. If you want to improve yourunderstanding, drink coffee. -Sydney Smith, 1771-1845. Reading  
    http://www.cafenation.net/turkish.shtml
    
    Extractions: To prepare Turkish coffee, you will need an ibrik. The sizes of ibriks can vary greatly, making it difficult to provide exact measurements. As a general rule, you can't have too much sugar or too much coffee! Spoon several teaspoons of sugar into the bottom of the pot. Fill the pot with purified or spring water up to the point where the pot begins to narrow. Fill the rest of the space, up to the very rim, with extra-fine coffee grounds (any ground spices can be added to the coffee grounds, or if ground is unavailable, whole spices can be thrown in with the sugar). For Turkish coffee to work, you must grind it until it is as fine as baby powder. If you don't have a grinder that can manage this, just ask your local coffeehouse to grind your beans for you before you go. Be sure to tell them you will be brewing Turkish-style. buy turkish coffee and ibriks at Natasha's Place the pot on your stove burner at a low setting (remember, it used to simply cook by sitting on hot desert sands!). As it begins to heat, you'll notice the grounds becoming wet from the water below. Soon after, it will begin to foam upward. Take the pot off the heat before it boils over, and stir it for a few seconds until the foam subsides a bit. Repeat two more times. Pour into demitasse cups (or, if you're like me, pour all of it into one big cup) and serve. The coffee will and indeed should have grounds still in it. They will quickly subside to the bottom of the cup. Drink until it becomes impossible (which is my general rule for all coffee!).

    Extractions: Site map Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Send a letter to the Editor Recommend this page Print-friendly By Lubna Abdel-Aziz How would the world do without tea? Sydney Smith. The love affair between the human race and a dulcet, sweet-smelling evergreen plant is nothing short of phenomenal. It is a love story that knows no bounds or boundaries, dating back 5,000 years. This highly coloured amber beverage has been relished through the centuries, exuding sensory pleasure and bodily enjoyment. It keeps growing in popularity, defying all restrictions of taste, race, colour or creed. No wonder tea ranks as the most popular drink in the world, after water. Tea smoothes the ruffled brow of care, in cold, temperate or warm weather, but grown in different countries it varies in taste, flavour and quality. Most of us drink "Black" tea, the most popular of the three kinds of teas, the others being "Green" tea and "Oolong" tea drank mostly in China, Japan, and Korea. Tea-tasters are employed by tea producers in order to obtain the best quality of teas, but the secret of a perfect cup of tea is in the finesse of the brewing. To achieve that perfection, you have to start with the right teapot. Clay pots came into being in 1,500 and are still preferred by many tea literati. Today porcelain is used most often. During the Ming Dynasty (1568-1644) the method of allowing tea leaves to soak (steep) in hot water for a long time became general practice, and only water from specific wells was used.

The pedants still argue about whether 2000 or 2001 is the 'true' millennium, wars are still fought over trivial reasons, hate, domination and greed are still the predominate human emotions. Looking back over the history of what is so often called 'civilisation' one can almost despair at the waste and the destruction that has accompanied our supposed 'climb' from the animal world - a staircase that, in Escher fashion, leads us back to where we started - as predatory and intolerant beasts, technocratic primitives Yet throughout this period, which started well before the birth of Jesus that retrospectively initiated our calendar, great minds have thrived. Inventors, thinkers, innovators and sages have lived, been recognised and died. Their influences have been many and varied, both positive and negative, both global and local. These perturbations to the flow of civilisation however have had one thing in common, and that is their apparent inability to improve the common mind, to bring

    Extractions: Burbank, California To do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in, and scramble through as well as we can. (Sydney, Smith, 1771-1845). In the eighties, Van Halen came out with a song that, to this day, gives me Goosebumps. "Jump!" To me, this is not just a song. It's an advice to cling to. "You might as well jump" is what they recommend. And they are right. This is what life should be about. Jumping is something we all have to dare doing at one or more times if we want to make our lives worth looking back to. Jumping is about business, marriage, and about every potential challenge we face, and that keeps us awake at night. Why miss out on at least trying everything? Why pouting ten, twenty, or fifty years from now about missed chances and opportunities that we could have jumped in, if only we had a little more bravado? This last statement can, hence, lead to the conclusion that entrepreneurs don't try: they do. And of course not every act succeeds! But they keep on "doing" until they stumble upon the one deed that's a hit. Wow! Was that a successful, unexpected jump or what? By the way, who says that entrepreneurs take unnecessary and irresponsible risks? Who says that they just jump without even having the slightest idea about where the leap might take them? Anyone who has been around an entrepreneur, or who is one, knows that the risks they take are calculated... at least to some degree.
