The Blog Workshop '13 - ONLINE Conference For Bloggers #TBW
The Blog Workshop is an online conference that takes place May 17th - 19th. If you have fallen in love with blogging, as I have, I'm sure that you have at least considered attending a Blog Conference. I have attended two blog conferences in the past two years. I was hoping to make it to at least one conference every year because it really is something that I enjoy doing. This year will be a tough one. I honestly didn't think that I would be able to reach my year 3 conference goal. With conference related costs: registration, travel, lodging, and time away from family and work - it can all add up. Unless you have secured sponsors, it just not might be feasible.We do have an option: The Blog Workshop. The workshop takes place online. You will not have to make travel arrangements, book a hotel, arrange for childcare, take time off from work, shop for conference attire, or order business cards! If you are interested in learning more about blogging but feel limited by funds or simply cannot get away to attend a conference because of work or family obligations - this may be the perfect conference for you! And for my dear blog friends that are not in the U.S. - - - guess what? You can log on from ANYWHERE! This will be my very first online blogging conference. I am excited with the opportunity and hope that you will join me! We can be first-timer's together!
The Blog Workshop Full Admission Registration is $175. Your registration fee covers you for all 3 days of The Blog Workshop. It includes 6 sessions, resources lists, giveaways, and a conference T-shirt. 10% of your conference ticket purchase will be donated to the following causes: Atlanta Day Shelter For Women & Children, Wellspring Living, and Suicide Prevention.

As good as pills: Mediterranean diet prohibits nothing that was recognized as food by your great-grandmother
From NYTimes: The Times's Gina Kolata talks about a new study, published on The New England Journal of Medicine's Web site, focusing on the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet.
When Diet Meets Delicious - The Mediterranean Approach http://buff.ly/XCsvTJ -- Mediterranean diet prohibits nothing that was recognized as food by your great-grandmother.
Here is the original research from NEJM:
In a multicenter trial in Spain, 7447 participants who were at high cardiovascular risk, but with no cardiovascular disease at enrollment (age range, 55 to 80 years, 57% were women), were randomly assigned to one of three diets:
- a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil
- a Mediterranean diet supplemented with mixed nuts
- a control diet (advice to reduce dietary fat)
Participants received quarterly educational sessions and, and depending on group assignment, free provision of extra-virgin olive oil, mixed nuts, or small nonfood gifts.
The primary end point was the rate of major cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes). On the basis of the results of an interim analysis, the trial was stopped after a median follow-up of 4.8 years.
The two Mediterranean-diet groups had good adherence to the intervention. A primary end-point event occurred in 288 participants.
The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios were 0.70 and 0.72 for the group assigned to a Mediterranean diet with extra-virgin olive oil (96 events) and the group assigned to a Mediterranean diet with nuts (83 events), respectively, versus the control group (109 events).
Among persons at high cardiovascular risk, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil or nuts reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events (the study was funded by the Spanish government).
