    The question to be asked is why the battle of Gettysburg is considered as a significant part of the history? Yes, it is an important event in the American history.

There were a lot of soldiers who were either dead or wounded. It was a bloody battles in the American history. Most people are curious to understand why the Battle of Gettysburg is considered as significant.

    This Battle is significant as it was a turning point in the civil war in the America. General Gordon Meade was the leader of the Potomac soldiers. These soldiers defeated the Northern Virginian army which was led by General Robert Lee.

    I know well the best Gettysburg born baseball player, although I do not know the top Gettysburg restaurant. Think fast -- who is the third best left handed player of all time, having 326 victories?

    Eddie Plank, a boy from a Gettysburg farm. Sure, how could I forget about him?

    He was born 10 years post Civil War, and the wily southpaw pitched for 17 seasons in the major leagues, triumphing in 20 games in eight different seaasons, all the while assisting Connie Mack's never to be forgotten Philadelphia A's in gaining six American League pennants.

    Ensuring the journey to Gettysburg Eddie's was worth the time and effort, I was dazzled by the 24 black and white pictures of classic ballplayers, such as this photograph of Plank shaking hands with Johnny Evers of the Boston Braves in advance of the 1914 World Series, the photograph of Walter "Big Train" Johnson, that of Tris Speaker, and the youthful, angelic faced Boston Red Sox legend Babe Ruth, yet another one-time left handed player.

    The wool outfits, high stockings and beefy-baseball glove-sporting Gettysburg College teams of 1900 and 1901 were also featured in several terrific photographs.

    On top of all that, when I finally took a seat after drooling over their memorabilia, the food proved to be decent as well. Mostly American dinner pub food, all the dishes were well-cooked, fresh, and made just to order, although it does not aspire to be a luxury diner. All the food was cooked in an ecologically green method, I found out in talking with our wonderful waitress Vicki.

    Choosing to feature the area legendary pitcher instead, this restaurant was renamed from the original Gingerbread Man concept by the same owner Bill Wills, our waitress explained. (It was a little welcome variety, I considered, after all the Civil War obsession that overhangs this little town.)

    With a nice flat screen television for watching ballgames, of course, and a solid beer list, this restaurant's bar is hidden in the rear. Pretty much partitioned off from the quaint main dining area, this place could get a little raucous on a football season Sunday night, maybe.

    Gettysburg Eddie's scored a total victory, according to my stats. Distinguishing itself with the personal feeling and quality service, this place does not get pretentious and is in safe territory with the standard American pub menu.

    For becoming among the first certified ecologically friendly restaurants in Pennsylvania, this place should be given a rousing round of applause.

    Homerun, Gettysburg Eddie's.

    Going out to restaurants is one of my favorite things. However, it's not the best thing for my weight, to be sure. If you love to go out to eat, can you still find ways to lose weight?

    It's fairly commonly thought that their diet simply won't apply once you start going out to eat at restaurants. They couldn't be more wrong! This just won't work if you eat out frequently.

    All you can do is eat differently as you go out to restaurants. Those of you who want to lose weight should keep this in mind.

    The following outlines some ways to eat healthier when you go to restaurants:

    1) Figure Out Your Meal Beforehand: most restaurants have their menu up online, which can let you decide what you want to get before you get there. You can look at the nutritional info on the dish, so you can pick the healthiest alternative.

    2) Request That Your Portion Be Smaller: You read that correctly. Smaller portions are nothing to be afraid of! You might still have to pay just as much for less food, but you don't need to be eating that much anyway!

    3) Don't eat out on an empty stomach. Inevitably, your eyes will be bigger than your stomach, and you'll order more. Drinking a lot of water before you go out should fix this. You'll really notice the difference.

    4) Share Your Dessert: Many of us just can't imagine dinner without dessert, and we wouldn't as you to skip it. However, what if you shared it with another person? You'll only have to take in half the calories!

    As you start to go out to restaurants again, you should consider these tips to keep your diet in good shape. This way, you can get back in shape too!
