from Master Turnquist
Appreciation is not only the greatest of
virtues, but the parent of all others.
Cicero
Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It
makes what is excellent in others belong to
us as well.
Voltaire
Not what we say about our blessings, but
how we use them is the true measure of
our thanksgiving.
W. T. Purkiser
As we express our gratitude, we must
never forget that the highest
appreciation is not to utter words, but
to live by them.
John F. Kennedy
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is
like wrapping a present and not giving it.
William Arthur Ward
Today is a gift, that’s why
they call it “the present”!

BJJ—BUT HURRY
Have you ever wanted to try BJJ? Now is your chance!
We have a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seminar this Saturday,
November 1 @ 11 am-12:30 pm with Guy Tchoumba.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is based on the principle that a
smaller, weaker person can defend themselves against a
bigger, stronger opponent by using leverage and proper
body positioning as well as by using joint locks and
chokes called submission techniques.

5 Sneaky Color Illusions
Is it you? Or the hue? How color affects behavior.
By Sarah Stebbins
Red attracts. A 2012 French study reported that
female online daters received nearly twice as many e
-mails from potential mates when they wore ruby
shirts over another shade. The reason: “Red reminds
people of how their face looks when they blush in
the presence of someone they’re interested in,” says
Adam Alter, an assistant professor of marketing at New York
University, in New York City, and the author of Drunk Tank Pink.
Blue may reduce criminal behavior. After officials near Kyoto, Japan,
installed blue streetlights in dangerous neighborhoods in 2005, the
overall crime rate fell by 9 percent. It turns out, says Alter, that “the
lights mimic those atop police cars and seem to imply that the police
are watching.”
Shoppers are less likely to buy bright yellow bananas than warmer
yellow ones. Warm yellow suggests “a riper fruit,” says brand adviser
Martin Lindstrom, the author of Brandwashed. “Fruit producers plant
crops under conditions most ideal for creating the just-right shade.”
Strawberries have long been packaged in complementary green
baskets, which make even imperfect berries appear vibrant and juicy,
says Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color
Institute.
Red and yellow are go-to choices for the logos of fastfood chains, like McDonald’s and Burger King. Bright,
warm colors “leap” forward (whereas cool shades
recede), beckoning you to the drive-through, says
Eiseman. Ruddy and golden hues also stimulate the
appetite because of the plethora of foods in those colors.
Hello, burgers and fries!
Mug cakes in the morning
You'll love these simple recipes for breakfast in a cup!
You may already be a fan of mug cakes — the singleserving microwave cakes you create in a cup make pretty
irresistible desserts. Easy? Check. Convenient? Check.
Delicious? Check. Waistline-friendly portion control?
Check. But if you haven't tried mug cakes for breakfast,
you're in for a treat.
Get your mug out, gather a few simple ingredients and
prepare for a steamy morning blueberry muffin mug from
Mima Sinclair's new book, "Mug Cakes."
"Missing the frosting and toppings?" asks Sinclair. "Top
your mug cakes with a generous spoon of creamy Greek
yogurt swirled with your favorite jam. Or scatter with
granola just before cooking to create a nice crunchy
topping."

Blueberry muffin
This is so delicious and so easy… just don’t get into the
habit of eating one for breakfast everyday!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium egg
1 tablespoon low-fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 tablespoons self-rising flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
3 tablespoons fresh blueberries
1/2 teaspoon demerara (raw) sugar
Place the butter in a 12-ounce mug and microwave for 10
–20 seconds until melted.
Add the egg, milk and vanilla to the mug and beat with a
fork until thoroughly combined.
Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt and beat again
until smooth. Fold in half the blueberries and then top
with the remainder.
Cook in the microwave. Microwave cooking times
differ according to the wattage of your oven. If you
have a 600 watt microwave, it'll take 2 minutes 20
seconds; allow 2 minutes for an 800 watt oven and 1
minute 40 seconds for 1,000 watts.
Sprinkle with demerara (raw) sugar and serve while it
is still a little warm.
Swap: Swap raspberries for the blueberries or little
chunks of pear — and if you do that, throw in a few
chocolate chips, too, given they go so well together!
More mug cake ideas
Once you've mastered the mug cake, mix up the flavor
combos with the following suggestions from Sinclair.
Cherry and Almond: Stir almond butter through your
wet batter before adding the dry ingredients and a few
halved cherries. You can even add some chopped
almonds to the mix.
Banana and Honey: Stir a couple of tablespoons of
honey and half a mashed banana through the batter
mix. Once cooked, top with slices of the remaining
banana and drizzle with extra honey to serve.
Toasted Hazelnut and Orange: Use a little fresh
orange juice in place of milk and stir toasted hazelnuts
and orange zest through the batter. Top with orange
segments and a little brown sugar.

Color Belt Testing
Black Belt Testing October 2014
2 4th degree, 3 3rd degree, 6 2nd degree and 27 brand new Black Belts! What a beautiful day in the country
at Ridgeview Academy for an amazing testing. Overheard after the testing “This was the best we’ve ever
seen.” This reporter agrees.
Mr. Minne who usually takes
the photos was out of the
country (London won over the
testing), but Jen Ferber did a
fine job in his place.
