Welcome to the new Family Album!

Welcome to the new Family Album!

For ten years, Family Album Radio brought you lively, up-to-date, unbiased daily radio features about issues facing today’s families. University of Florida faculty from the Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences and IFAS Extension, in partnership with WUFT-FM, made it possible for listeners in Florida and across the country to benefit from this program.

In line with new university priorities, however, the radio portion of the show is now on hiatus. Instead, we will be focusing on our brand new blog right here, along with our Facebook page and Twitter feed. The new Family Album will still feature the same great research-based, peer-reviewed content you’ve come to expect, only in a more up-to-date, interactive format.

Thank you so much for your past listenership and support. It has been a pleasure bringing you the radio program. We hope you’ll join us here at the new blog, and please follow us on Facebook and Twitter, too.

Thanks for your publication on this blog site. From my own experience, occasionally softening up a photograph may provide the photographer with a little an artistic flare. More often than not however, the soft blur isn't precisely what you had at heart and can often times spoil a normally good snapshot, especially if you consider enlarging that.

An added important part is that if you are an older person, travel insurance with regard to pensioners is something you need to really contemplate. The older you are, greater at risk you're for making something poor happen to you while in most foreign countries. If you are not covered by a few comprehensive insurance coverage, you could have some serious problems. Thanks for expressing your hints on this web blog.

I have seen plenty of useful things on your internet site about computer systems. However, I have the thoughts and opinions that notebook computers are still not nearly powerful more than enough to be a good selection if you generally do things that require plenty of power, for example video enhancing. But for world-wide-web surfing, statement processing, and the majority of other frequent computer work they are fine, provided you don't mind the screen size. Many thanks sharing your thinking.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

With every thing which seems to be building throughout this subject matter, all your points of view tend to be somewhat refreshing. Even so, I beg your pardon, because I do not subscribe to your whole suggestion, all be it exciting none the less. It appears to everybody that your commentary are not entirely validated and in reality you are yourself not completely certain of the point. In any case I did take pleasure in examining it.

I have taken notice that in unwanted cameras, exceptional devices help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. Those kind of sensors of some cameras change in contrast, while others use a beam with infra-red (IR) light, particularly in low lumination. Higher standards cameras sometimes use a combination of both devices and might have Face Priority AF where the video camera can 'See' a new face while keeping your focus only on that. Thank you for sharing your thinking on this web site.

I love using a bread machine, too! Thanks for the recipe, it's great finding something new to experiment with. I mostly use the basic cycle because I love basic white bread but, from time to time, it's nice trying something new.

This recipe is amazing and delicious and you don't have to knead it. You can sub in whole wheat flour for about 50% of the flour, but may need to add more water, and the loaf will be flatter. The long rise and high water content give it amazing flavor and texture. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html?_r=0 I also use this recipe, which makes two loaves and is sort of similar, but not the same. Again, you can sub in whole wheat flour for about 50%. I also like to add sesame seeds. I make this one in traditional loaf pans with a silicone liner (otherwise it will stick) so it can be used for sandwiches more easily. I used to make this recipe every week but haven't been getting around to it lately. http://www.splendidtable.org/recipes/five-minute-artisan-bread

And then there's the snack provided to the kids after the game! (I can go for fruit and water, but that is not what tends to be provided) Fortunately, the stand turns out to be not that visible to the kids...they didn't notice it, at least this first time.

Thanks for sharing this Carol. Those concession stands were always a concern for me, as a nutritionist and mom interested in healthy eating for my family. We almost never bought anything, which made me feel a bit guilty that I was not supporting the team, but I figured that our health was more important than a few dollars for the team. Not only do those foods provide more fat, sodium, and/or added sugars than most people need, they tend to fill you up so that you may not eat a healthy dinner after the game. Of course, that was the other annoying part of soccer games ... the team always wanted to stop at McDonald's after the game! Oh my ...

My family is totally converted to no-cook overnight oatmeal, whch we had never tried before this post! My daughter loves banana-peanut butter with a tiny bit of chopped dark chocolate, and my son likes apple-cinnamon. I am not a morning person, so I love that I can make it the night before!!

I appreciate and agree with your comments, Kevin. Martial Arts are a special way to develop special talents that have gone by the wayside because we are too busy to slow down and realize that past practices, in many instances, still work well in our modern society -- especially with youth.

You raise a nice set of points there and maybe I can help expand them. I've studied for a long time, and one thing that is earned in training is a sense of community developing from common goals and collective perseverance. It is struggling together. It is setting unattainable goals, but then getting to them. "Special training" sessions are weekends of intense training that is awful. But you survive it and come out stronger. Nobody is a star. We're reminded that we can always do better and strive for perfection. You are always a student and learning, even when you're teaching. Those are some of the best lessons that can be learned and why kids should be involved in martial arts.

Yes, a lot of people seem to like those flavored waters and sparkling waters. Call me a seltzer purist! Sometimes I do mix seltzer with orange juice or grape juice for a sparkly drink, so I'm not "pure" all the time ...

I find that if I carry a refillable water bottle with me I drink more during the day. I also prefer lemon sparkling water, with natural flavors. No calories, no sugar, no fat yet I get the bubbles!

I'm actually not a big fan of water either, but I really enjoy seltzer, so that is my beverage of choice for hydration. You might try that and see if it works for you. No calories, no sugar ... great choice for thirst quenching.

This is a great blog post -- really enjoyed reading about this research and the fact that it demonstrated what I have long thought about this amazing book series -- that it has extremely positive messages and much to teach young people (and adults as well). One only has to be concerned about those readers who relate more to Malfoy or Voldemort than to Harry and his buddies ...

"Antioxidants protect your cells from damage and can boost your immune system." Umm, no. Nothing "boots your immune system", that's just one of those nonsense phrases from the alt-med & supplements community who think scientifical language legitimizes their claim. http://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/boosting-immune-system-sorting-science-myth/ You're right to be wary of "superfood" claims, but also beware of false concepts like immune system boosting.

Getting a diagnosis is so important so that people can either make changes to reduce their risk of diabetes or begin to manage the disease if they already have it. In either case, lifestyle management can make a big difference in quality of life and long-term health. Thanks for the information about the on-line Diabetes Risk Test -- hopefully many people will take advantage of it.

Good post. You mentioned here: "Be alert for bills, mail, or account statements that don’t arrive on time". To add to this, many people do not check their bank statements often enough to catch fraudulent activity in a timely manner. It is always a good thing to be mindful of the charges debiting an account and not take for granted that all charges are going to be legit.

This is a good reminder about what is really important on this holiday. It made me think about all of those cards I made for my parents when I was in elementary school ....you know the ones with red paper and doilies! My mom kept those thoughtful (and cheap) cards for years and I too have some that my son made for me. Guess it is the thought that counts (although chocolate is really fun to get too, I must admit ...)!
