Is greek yogurt healthy ? Should one consume it if he is tryign to lose weight ?
In how much quantity ?

People who consume 3 or more servings of low fat dairy daily lose more weight than those who don’t. A serving of yogurt or milk is 8 oz. Here are a couple of recipes to use greek yogurt..

**Banana-Papaya Smoothie**

1 cup milk (1% or skim)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 small ripe banana, peeled and sliced
1/2 large, ripe papaya, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup ice cubes

Combine the milk, yogurt, vanilla, banana, papaya and ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a large glass.

**Greek Yogurt with Fig, Date, and Honey Swirl**

1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup pine nuts
6 figs, fresh or dried, cut into quarters
6 dates, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup water
1 lemon, juiced
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups Greek yogurt*
Mint leaves for garnish

*Cook’s note: Greek yogurt is thicker and less sour than plain yogurt. If you can’t find Greek yogurt, drain regular yogurt, refrigerated, overnight through cheesecloth.
Toast the nuts in a saute pan over medium heat until they become fragrant. Put the nuts onto a plate and set aside; when cool enough to handle, chop them roughly.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the figs, dates, honey, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick. Cook for about 10 minutes until fruit is soft. Set aside and let it cool slightly; remove the cinnamon stick. Place the yogurt in a big bowl. Spoon the warm fruit onto the yogurt and gently swirl the fruit through the yogurt. Sprinkle on the nuts and garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Another thing, how do you make a Greek toga out of a bedsheet?

There wasn’t such thing like the "Greek toga". The toga was invented by the Romans and was ment to be worn at formal occasions to emphasize a person’s dignity and status. The early Roman Toga was very voluminous, required huge skill in draping it and made really active pursuits difficult. Essentially this made it a garment mostly of the upper classes such as senators.
A Greek garment equivalent to toga could be the himation. It was made of a big cloth that was used as a cloak. It was worn by both women and men. The himation was usually put from the back over the left shoulder; the other part of the himation was put under the right arm, and then around the front of the body. The himation was so long that it went down to the knees, or it could also be longer.

So, you need it for a "toga party"? I see it is quite widespread although the definition isn’t original..

Check the patterns below!

It’s weird because I had always heard how the Greeks loved the human form. Also, there are lots of other Greek statues without the penis covered. Why is it that it is covered in some of them?

Censorship by the Roman Catholic Church, which controlled most things from medieval times till present day, and who bought/owned/commissioned most art and artifacts, new and ancient. While they admired the Greek art and artists they though of them as heathen and lacking in proper morality.

Basically the Catholic Church found sexual parts "immodest" and objectionable on many works of art. So objectionable parts were covered by fig leaves. Paintings were also modified in this way. Sometimes these leaves can be removed, sometimes they cannot be removed without damaging the art. The Church saw the body as base and shameful, sex as something for procreation only, while the Greeks celebrated the human frm as a thing of beauty.

Can you think of anything in our present day culture that has been affected by greek mythology? Anything helps!

Thanks!

-High school track teams often have an image of a winged sandal on their sweatshirts and other stuff. This comes from Hermes, the Messenger God who was also god of athletics.
-The caduceus is the staff with the snake entwined around it, another symbol of Hermes.
-The phrase, "to sacrifice a pig to Aphrodite" means to give an inappropriate gift.
-If someone refers to an Achilles’ heel, then they are referring to a weakness. Comes from the myth of Achilles, he was dipped into the River Styx as an infant to become invincible, but his heel did not touch the water. He died during the Trojan War when an arrow pierced his foot.

These are just the first few that popped into my head. If I think of any others, I’ll come back.

I need literary works with allusions referencing greek mythology. It doesnt matter what the work is, book, poem, etc. as long isnt an actual myth itself.

I have almost all the expansion packs and stuff for The Sims 2 and I need some help with The Sims 2 University. How can I make my own Greek House? Do I need some members or I can do it with only one sim? And if I can, how do I make Toga Party (hope I wrote the name good)? Please if you know more things about The Sims 2 University tell me. Thank you.

To start your own Greek house you must be living in a private house. Dorms cannot be converted to Greek houses. To convert your Private residence into a Greek house, click on your phone, choose Greek House, then select “Apply for Charter”. You must have at least two members of your household before you can apply to become a Greek House; if you have less, the option is still available, but the dialog box asking for confirmation will not appear.

Greek status can be viewed by purchasing a Greek letter in Buy mode (it’s under Decorative – Wall Hangings). Once you have a letter, click on it in Live mode and choose “Check Greek House Status.”

You must have at least one Greek letter purchased from Buy mode to get beyond level one. Housing levels are determined by the number of friends the resident Greek lot members collectively have.

Level 1: 0 friends, 8 member max.
Level 2: 3 friends, 10 member max.
Level 3: 5 friends, 15 member max.
Level 4: 7 friends, 20 member max.
Level 5: 10 friends, 30 member max.
Level 6: 15 friends, 32,000 member max!

To gain new pledges, you must click on a visiting Sim and select “Ask to Pledge.” The Sim will automatically accept if the Relationship score is high enough (> 50 Daily and > 10 Lifetime should almost always work).

If your Sim is in a Greek house, the option to throw a toga party should show up under ‘throw party’ when you go to the phone.

I need to draw different greek gods for vacation homework at school. It’s due on march 10 and im not that good at drawing. PLZ give me a website that tells me how to draw them. I would prefer the tutorial to be a video. Oh if you can find a tutorial how to draw an anime version of it plz give me that one instead.

To draw the human figure use:

http://drawinglab.evansville.edu

You might also use a mirror. Among the Greeks, for men, the nude image was holy — it meant the hero had passssed beyond the need for clothes. So if the character is make,, you might just draw his attributes and leave him nude. A mirror might help. For women, draw the figure, a long dress, pull the hair back, then put on the goddes’s attributes.

I need about a paragraph or so to give me ideas of what to write on why advancements of Greek architecture and sculpting during the Golden Age (or the Age of Pericles) is important to us today. A link to a good site would be nice. If you yourself decide to write something, please add a link from where you got your information.
Ten points to best answer!

Well, a large amount of architecture today that is considered ’stylish’ is based on Greek Architecture. For example, the British Museum uses Doric columns similar to those used to adorn the Parthenon. This is probably intended to show that the museum is a place of intellect and learning (something which relates to education, first perfected in the Golden Age). Sculpture is more difficult to place. There is the fact that Classical sculpture of the age is considered the epitome of art, and has influenced a number of artistic trends up to today.
