Rutabaga is best roasted at 425 F (218 C), so set the oven and let it preheat to that temperature. Line a baking sheet with cooking spray, parchment paper, or a silicone mat. This will prevent the rutabaga from sticking to the pan. Scrub the rutabaga with a vegetable brush under running water. Cut off the top and tail, and cut the rutabaga in half. Peel the skin off with a paring knife, being very careful not to cut yourself. Chop the rutabaga into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks. Transfer the chunks to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the oil over the chunks. Season the rutabaga with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss everything together to coat the chunks with the oil and seasonings. Other seasonings you can add to the rutabaga include garlic powder, dried rosemary, fresh minced garlic, onion powder, or a small minced onion. Spread the rutabaga out evenly on the baking sheet and place it in the oven. Bake the rutabaga for about 40 minutes, until it’s tender and golden brown. After 40 minutes, pierce a chunk with a fork. The rutabaga is ready if the fork enters easily and the rutabaga feels soft. Use an oven mitt to remove the cooked rutabaga from the oven. Transfer the roasted chunks to a serving bowl, or portion them out onto individual plates and serve with meat, fish, or a vegetable-based protein.

Summary: Preheat the oven. Wash, peel, and chop the rutabaga. Oil and season the chunks. Roast the rutabaga in the oven. Serve hot.


While you can call any Skype user in the world for free through Skype, you'll need to pay if you want to use Skype to call a mobile or landline number. The rates vary depending on the location you are calling. You can find the latest rates at skype.com/rates.  Domestic and international calls to mobiles or landlines will both require payment. Skype charges based on where you are calling to, not where you are calling from. You can no longer make calls from Skype in India to phones also in India. You can still make Skype-to-Skype calls for free. Skype offers two forms of payment: you can buy a set amount of Skype credit, which your minutes will be subtracted from based on the per-minute rate for the country you're calling, or you can purchase different monthly subscriptions that offer set amounts or unlimited minutes. You can purchase subscriptions and credit through the Skype app or through the Skype website. There are subscriptions that are country-specific, and there is the Skype Worldwide subscription. The Worldwide subscription offers unlimited minutes to any number in the world for $13.99 USD per month (as of February 2015). Depending on the country you are calling, you may be able to get an unlimited subscription specific to that country for less. once you've subscribed or added credit to your account, you can open the dialer by tapping the number pad button in the bottom-left corner of the app. This will open a phone dialer that you can use to key in any number you'd like. You can also tap the "Address Book" button in the upper-right corner to search through your contacts. As soon as you connect, Skype will begin counting the minutes and deducting them from your credit (unless you have an unlimited subscription). The current rate for the call will be displayed on your screen when the recipient picks up the phone. The recipient will not be charged unless they are normally charged for receiving calls. The call will be like a local call from their end. You can see how much Skype credit you have by tapping your profile picture in the upper-right corner of the main Skype screen. Tapping on your current credit balance will give you the option to purchase more.

Summary: Look up the rates for the location you are calling. Decide between pay-as-you-go or a subscription. Open the dialer in the Skype app. Start the call. Manage your Skype credit.


Rinse the grapefruit and pull off or cut away the peel. Hold the grapefruit over a bowl and use a knife to cut the segments of grapefruit from in between the white pith. Put the segments into the bowl with the juice that drips down. If you want to garnish the smoothies with fresh grapefruit, reserve 2 to 3 segments. Put the segments with the juice into the blender and add 2 cups (490 g) of frozen pineapple chunks, 1/3 cup (94 g) of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of coconut oil, and a 1/4 inch (6 mm) knob of peeled fresh ginger. If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can use any type of yogurt you have on hand. Keep in mind that if you use a low-fat or non-fat yogurt, the smoothie won't be as thick and creamy. Put the lid on the smoothie and turn it on to blend. Keep blending the smoothie until the frozen pineapple and ginger are incorporated. If the smoothie is looking too thick, pour in your choice of milk or non-dairy milk to make it as thin as you like. Remove the lid from the blender and pour the grapefruit detox smoothie into 2 serving glasses. Consider garnishing the smoothies with the reserved grapefruit segments, granola, or berries. Serve the smoothies immediately. Refrigerate leftover smoothies in an airtight container. Store them for up to 24 hours and blend or stir them before drinking them.

Summary: Peel and remove the segments from 1 red grapefruit. Put the grapefruit, juice, pineapple, yogurt, oil, and ginger into a blender. Blend the covered smoothie for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the smoothie into 2 glasses and serve them.


If your dog is trying to vomit, and cannot, this can be associated with the life-threatening condition, bloat.  Get your dog to the vet immediately in order to ensure the best outcome. If your dog is trying to urinate, but is unable to do so, take it to the veterinarian quickly.  Inability to urinate indicates some form of blockage and can be quite serious. If your dog is having trouble standing, is swaying, or has collapsed then you must seek care quickly.  Even if your dog is tired, it will be able to stand and move.  Collapsing is a definite sign that your dog needs medical attention.
Summary: Watch for non-productive retching. Monitor for non-productive urination. Look for any weakness.
