If you are aged 8 to 15 and love animals, then this is the perfect experience for you. This Junior Keeper for a day adventure will give you a great idea of what it is really like to work at a zoo and care for the animals at Woburn Safari Park on a daily basis.
As a Junior Keeper you will get up close to the animals in the animal encounter area and even have the chance to visit your favourite animal in the drive through reserves. You and the other juniors will go behind the scenes at Woburn Safari Park and experience firsthand what life is like as an animal keeper. You'll join the staff and get involved with mucking out, food preparation and will have close encounters with some of the smaller animals.
Expect to have lots of fun …and grubby hands, whilst taking part in this fabulous experience.
You may start your half day as a Junior Keeper by helping the rangers with their morning duties in the Rainbow Landing – with the colourful Lorikeets. You could then be mucking out the stables where the ponies and donkeys live before the best part of your day –'favourite animal hour'. This is where you will jump into the VIP Land Rover and direct the driver to your chosen safari animal for a close encounter.
After this maybe you'll help feed the penguins and head to the Land of Lemurs to get a bit closer to those Madagascan primates.
Once you have finished with your keeper duties you will receive a guidebook and an 'Animal Keeper' certificate as souvenirs of your experience and you are welcome to stay in the park until closing time.
Available seven days a week. Date restrictions may apply.
We recommend you book at least four weeks in advance to ensure that dates are available. This is only a guideline and we advise you to book as early as possible to ensure that dates are available before the expiry date listed on your voucher. All bookings are subject to availability.
The experience takes place between 09.30 and 13.00 but you are welcome to stay until closing time.
Please note this is a non exclusive experience and you may be joined by up to two other people.
The experience can be tailored to meet specific interests (where possible) please specify this at the time of booking.

I think I'd be tempted to just say, "wow, how rude."
May 11th, 2013 06:26 PM #13
Wow. I'm not sure why I'm surprised at how rude people can be, but I am. If someone is being rude to me, I tell them, "You're being rude." They usually don't have a response to that.
Moron: "Indie? Huh. That's a weird little hipster name."
Mom: "My, my, you're a rude little person, aren't you?"
Toss your hair and walk away. They'll go home and tell their friends and family about the weirdo they met that was so rude to them. But you'll go home knowing you stuck up for yourself, and your choices. Hopefully your children observed you and learn that it's totally okay to let people know when they're being RUDE; and, further, that it is not okay to talk to other people like that.Artemis Willow ☀ Cordelia Avalon ☀ Isabeau Forest ☀ Isadora Nightingale ☀ Lorelei Ondine ☀ Lyra Snow ☀ Pandora Everild ☀ Tabitha Eilonwy ☀ Thisbe Wildrose ☀ Thora Silmarien

You can't please all of the people all of the time.
Since your daughter is actually named Florence Imogen, nn Indie, perhaps this person felt more within their rights to discuss the name Indie itself (as it bears no actual relation whatsoever to your daughter's given name). Your other two children's names are fairly ornate and upper-crust sounding, which again might invite comparisons by someone who thought you were closer than you are.
Personally I think if you're snippy in return you come out looking worse than simply saying "well, it's done now, isn't it?" or "we love it, it's meaningful to us because of X, Y and Z."Blade, MD

My sons name is Levin. It's not for everyone. That is okay, b.c we love it, it is very meaningful to us, and it fits him perfectly. I am not holding out for universal popularity. My name was unusual while I was growing up (less so now) and I have gotten many rude comments on it. I just always figured if it wasn't my name, it would be something else.
Mostly, no one says anything negative about it. I really don't think most people are just waiting around for an opportunity to be rude, you know? But when people do unkind comments about it, or wrinkle their noses, I feel embarrassed for them. Seriously, what kind of awful things could be going on for a person who feels compelled to insult a baby's name? So I just pretend that they said something appropriate.
Stranger: "What's his name?"
Me: "Levin"
Stranger: "Really? What a terrible name!"
Me: "Thank you. We love it, too."
This generally just confuses people and they give up.

Columbus >Food & Dining > Plaza Restaurant
75 E State St, Columbus, OH | Directions 4321539.960117 -82.997637
Mon-Sun: 6:30am-10pm, 1pm-12am
Neighborhoods: Uptown District
Where the food is upscale and good, but secondary to the regal view. – The Scene
You will stop mumbling that you live in a cow town upon entering the lavish Plaza Restaurant. Located on the second floor of the Hyatt on Capitol Square (right next to City Center), this place is decorated with a slight Asian flair. The servers call everyone "sir" and "ma'am" with the utmost in kindness and the food is upscale, but the best part is the view of the regal Ohio Statehouse.
The Food
The menu is eclectic, with international flair. Appetizers are tasty, from classic shrimp cocktail to smoked salmon timbales, but not too filling. Steaks, seafood and pasta fill the well-rounded menu; the juicy filet mignon and shrimp arrabiata are standouts. Presentation is extremely important for all the dishes, but sometimes ends up eclipsing the taste. Stick with the standards for a more pleasurable meal.

LONDON, Aug. 3, 2012 – Former James Madison freestyle swimmer Eva Hannesdottir (2010-2012) competed in the preliminary round of the 400-meter medley relay this morning for her home nation of Iceland at the 2012 Olympic Games in London this morning.
The former three-time Colonial Athletic Association champion swam the anchor leg for the team and turned in a 50-meter split of 26.78 seconds and a total time of 56.12 in heat two of the event.
The Icelandic team's total time of 4:07.09 did not qualify for tomorrow evening's finals as they finished eighth in their heat.
Hannesdottir is the first swimmer in program history to qualify and swim at the Olympic Games. She is the reigning Icelandic National Champion in both the 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle swimming events.

Ben Howard Tickets
Singer-songwriter Ben Howard grew up in South Devon where his mother's collection of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Richie Havens records inspired him to write melodic rootsy folk songs. After a short stint of studying Journalism, luckily for his fans, at the age of 21, he gave up studying for good and devoted his time to being a full-time musician. His reputation quickly grew as he delighted audiences playing live across the UK. Before he had finished recording his debut album, Every Kingdom, his raw talent and unusual style had caught the attention of some major labels and he was snapped up by Island Records. As the hush of awed crowds at his previous sold out gigs can attest, Ben Howard tickets are in high demand.

A mod should be active on the whole forum and have enough respect from the members of MT. I also agree with Seefy.
I nominate myself! /trolls
Nah, I nominate GunZ as well...
My CC thread - Updated 01/30/14
My AA thread - Updated 03/04/14
Yeah, Gunzet is seriously everywhere. Though, I am heavily considering Psy now.
Can each candidate make a campaign?
Ok, this will sound crazy but...
I know, I know, but as opinions are not important, but activity it is, why not him? He is logical, active and is over most MT topics.
Logic and whether or not you're active are only some parts of being a mod. Again, respect comes into play. Del isn't exactly that popular.

Workflow sub-components are orchestrated via a metadata persistence store provided by the ecohydrolib.metadata package. These scripts are built on top of a series of task-oriented APIs defined in the Python package EcohydroLib. The workflow scripts provide tools for downloading and manipulating geospatial data needed to run a ecohydrology models, information such as: digital elevation model (DEM), soils, land cover, and vegetation leaf area index. These data can be drawn both from national spatial data infrastructure (NLCD, SSURGO) as well as custom local datasets. A metadata store is used to orchestrate a series of workflow scripts used to prepare data for an ecohydrology model. The current implementation uses the Python ConfigParser key-value storage mechanism to persist metadata to disk, however conceivably any key-value store could be used. The metadata contains information related to the study area (e.g. bounding box, spatial reference, DEM resolution), as well as provenance information for each spatial data layer imported, and a processing history that records the parameters used to invoke each workflow script; provenance information is represented as a subset of Dublin Core attributes (http://dublincore.org). When using the workflow scripts in a stand-alone environment, the metadata store provides information necessary to understand where ecohydrology input data came from, and what transformations have been made to the data. When the workflow scripts are integrated into a data grid or workflow environment (e.g. iRODS), the metadata store can serve as a staging area for metadata and provenance information that will be registered into the formal workflow environment. The fundamental operation for any ecohydrology modeling workflow is to define the study region of interest (ROI). In EcohydroLib the ROI is simply defined as a bounding box of WGS84 latitude and longitude coordinates (e.g. coordinates for the upper- left and lower-right corners). For workflows using the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), the ROI bounding box can be derived using catchment polygons associated with the stream reaches upstream of a particular gage. The user begins by picking a streamflow discharge gage listed in the NHD dataset. EcohydroLib can then determine the stream reaches upstream of the data, and then select the catchment polygons associated with each upstream reach. From these polygons, the bounding box of the land area draining through the streamflow gage can easily be calculated. Once the ROI is known, EcohydroLib can extract datasets (DEM, soils, etc.) specific to the study area. Some of these datasets are extracted from static local copies of national spatial data (e.g. NLCD), while other are retrieved via web services interfaces from federal agency data centers (e.g. SSURGO soils data from USDA) or from third-party data centers (GeoBrain's DEM Explorer). However it is also possible for the user to register their own custom data for a given datatype (e.g. local LIDAR-based DEM). ![Fig. 1 Ecohydrology model data preparation workflow software stack depicting EcohydroLib's role as an intermediary between raw data, derived data subsets, and specific ecohydrology models](EcohydroLib-Architecture.png) Source code ----------- Source code can be found at: https://github.com/selimnairb/EcohydroLib. Documentation can be found at: http://pythonhosted.org/ecohydrolib Installation ------------ Detailed installation instructions can be found in the RHESSysWorkflows [readme](https://github.com/selimnairb/RHESSysWorkflows). The following instructions should only be used by advanced users. Using easy_install: easy_install --script-dir /path/to/install/scripts EcohydroLib Using pip: pip install EcohydroLib It is recommended that you install the workflow scripts in a location distinct from where the Python package will be installed. This is accomplished by specifying the --script-dir option to easy install (see above). Note, pyspatialite 3.0.1, needed for GHCNDSetup.py and GetGHCNDailyClimateData*.py, currently fails to build under easy_install/pip. Until this is fixed by the pyspatialite developer, I have removed pyspatialite from the dependency list. If you need to use GNCHD data, you can install pyspatialite manually using the following steps (this can be done before or after installing EcohydroLib): - Manually download pyspatialite here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyspatialite/3.0.1 - Apply the following patch to pyspatialite's setup.py: https://code.google.com/p/pyspatialite/issues/detail?id=9 - Install pyspatialite - Install EcohydroLib as described above Required runtime software ------------------------- Python 2.7 Libraries (with headers): - libxml2 - libxslt - libproj - libgeos Binaries: - GDAL/OGR 1.9 or later (throughout) - SQLite3 (throughout) - Seven Zip (if using NHDPlusV2Setup/NHDPlusV2Setup.py) - Spatialite (if using GHCNDSetup.py/GetGHCNDailyClimateData*.py) - Unix find (if using NHDPlusV2Setup/NHDPlusV2Setup.py) Data stored locally ------------------- - NLCD 2006 raster (http://www.mrlc.gov/nlcd06_data.php) - HYDRO1k North America dataset (http://eros.usgs.gov/#/Find_Data/Products_and_Data_Available/gtopo30/hydro/namerica) - NHDPlus V2 dataset (http://www.horizon-systems.com/NHDPlus/NHDPlusV2_home.php) NHDPlus V2 database setup ------------------------- Before EcohydroLib is able to extract study area ROI using the NHDPlus dataset, it is necessary to have a local copy of the NHDPlus dataset. Owing to the large size of the NHDPlus dataset, these data are distributed as as series of compressed archives broken into several regions for the continental U.S. There are two choices for obtaining NHDPlus in a format usable by EcohydroLib (as several SQLite3 databases). A national-scale dataset (i.e. covering the entire continental U.S.) is available for download here: http://... Once downloaded, extract the archive and record its location in your EcohydroLib configuation file; see the 'Configuration files' section for more information. If you wish to build you own copy of the database (i.e. for a subset of U.S. country) a script for building the dataset from downloaded NHDPlus V2 7z archives is provided in bin/NHDPlusV2Setup/NHDPlusV2Setup.py. The following NHDPlus V2 datasets are required: - NHDPlusV21_NationalData_GageInfo_02.7z - NHDPlusV21_NationalData_GageLoc_01.7z - NHDPlusV21_NationalData_Gage_Smooth_01.7z - NHDPlusV21_??_??_NHDPlusAttributes_??.7z - NHDPlusV21_??_??_NHDPlusCatchment_??.7z - NHDPlusV21_??_??_NHDSnapshot_??.7z Note that the NHDPlusAttributes, NHDPlusCatchment, and NHDPlusSnapshot data are released as regional subsets (due to the large size and complexity of the data). NHDPlusV2Setup.py can build its NHDPlus SQLite3 databases for any number of regions; all data for the desired number of regions will be combined into a single database. Once you've decided which NHDPlusV2 regions you wish to build a database for, simply download the relevant 7z archives from the NHDPlusV2 web site (see above), and store the archives in a single directory. NHDPlusV2Setup.py will unpack these archives into a specified output location and then will process the unarchived files into the following databases: - Catchment.sqlite (a spatial dataset containing all catchment polygons in the selected NHD region(s); - GageLoc.sqlite (a spatial dataset containing streamflow gage points for the national NHD dataset; - NHDPlusDB.sqlite (a tabular dataset containing other NHD data needed by EcohydroLib). Make sure to edit your configuration file to include the absolute paths of these files (see below). For national NHD coverage, Catchment.sqlite is over 8 GB, and NHDPlusDB.sqlite is over 2 GB, so you will need a kernel and filesystem that has large file support to build and use these datasets. Also, it may take over an hour to create these datasets; 8 GB of memory or more is recommended to build the datasets efficiently. However, database setup is a one-time process, and you can use databases created on one machine on other machines, provided SQLite3 is installed. NHDPlusV2Setup.py creates each database with the indices needed by EcohydroLib, so lookups are very fast. HYDRO1k North America --------------------- To use HYDRO1k basin shapefile, you must first uncompress na_bas.e00.gz to na_bas.e00. Then you must convert the e00 (Arc interchange file) to a shapefile using a tool such as ArcGIS. GHCN Climate Data ----------------- To download NCDC Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) dataset for daily climate data, you must first create the spatialite database that EcohydroLib uses to find climate stations using spatial queries. This database is created using bin/GHCNDSetup/GHCNDSetup.py. The output from the script will be a spatialite database. Make sure to edit your configuration file and set PATH_OF_STATION_DB to the absolute path of this spatialite database (see below). Configuration files ------------------- Many of the command line scripts (including NHDPlusV2Setup.py) require a configuration file to specify locations to executables and datasets required by the ecohydrology workflow libraries. The configuration file can be specified via the environmental variable ECOHYDROLIB_CFG or via command line option. Here is an example configuration file: [GDAL/OGR] PATH_OF_OGR2OGR = /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/Current/Programs/ogr2ogr PATH_OF_GDAL_RASTERIZE = /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/Current/Programs/gdal_rasterize PATH_OF_GDAL_WARP = /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/Current/Programs/gdalwarp PATH_OF_GDAL_TRANSLATE = /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/Current/Programs/gdal_translate [NHDPLUS2] PATH_OF_NHDPLUS2_DB = /Users/<username>/Research/data/GIS/NHDPlusV21/national/NHDPlusDB.sqlite PATH_OF_NHDPLUS2_CATCHMENT = /Users/<username>/Research/data/GIS/NHDPlusV21/national/Catchment.sqlite PATH_OF_NHDPLUS2_GAGELOC = /Users/<username>/Research/data/GIS/NHDPlusV21/national/GageLoc.sqlite [SOLIM] PATH_OF_SOLIM = /Users/<username>/Research/bin/solim/solim.out [NLCD] PATH_OF_NLCD2006 = /Users/<username>/Research/data/GIS/NLCD2006/nlcd2006/nlcd2006_landcover_4-20-11_se5.img [HYDRO1k] PATH_OF_HYDRO1K_DEM = /Users/<username>/Research/data/GIS/HYDRO1k/na/na_dem.bil PATH_OF_HYDRO1K_BAS = /Users/<username>/Research/data/GIS/HYDRO1k/na/na_bas_polygon.shp HYDRO1k_BAS_LAYER_NAME = na_bas_polygon [GHCND] PATH_OF_STATION_DB = /Users/<username>/Research/data/obs/NCDC/GHCND/GHCND.spatialite [UTIL] PATH_OF_FIND = /usr/bin/find PATH_OF_SEVEN_ZIP = /opt/local/bin/7z PATH_OF_SQLITE = /opt/local/bin/sqlite3 If you create your initial configuration file by copying and pasting from this documentation, make sure to remove any leading spaces from each line of the file. How to use - Typical workflows ------------------------------ A workflow using data from large-scale spatial data infrastructure will consist of running the follow scripts in the following order: 1. GetNHDStreamflowGageIdentifiersAndLocation.py 2. GetCatchmentShapefileForNHDStreamflowGage.py 3. GetBoundingboxFromStudyAreaShapefile.py 4. GetDEMExplorerDEMForBoundingbox.py 5. GetNLCDForDEMExtent.py 6. GetSSURGOFeaturesForBoundingbox.py 7. GenerateSoilPropertyRastersFromSSURGO.py or GenerateSoilPropertyRastersFromSOLIM.py The first 4 steps must be run in this order, the remaining workflow components can be run in any order. Other workflow components, e.g. to register a custom dataset, can be substituted for the latter 4 workflow components as well (as indicated above). See the documentation for each script to see invocations details. A workflow collecting data appropriate for large-scale land surface process models may consist of running the following scripts in the following order: 1. GetCatchmentShapefileForHYDRO1kBasins.py 2. GetBoundingboxFromStudyAreaShapefile.py 3. GetHYDRO1kDEMForBoundingbox.py 6. GetGHCNDailyClimateDataForBoundingboxCentroid.py OR GetGHCNDailyClimateDataForStationsInBoundingbox.py A workflow using custom local data sources will consist of running the follow scripts in the following order: 1. RegisterDEM.py 2. RegisterGage.py 3. RegisterRaster.py 4. GetSSURGOFeaturesForBoundingbox.py

TellMe is a dead-simple 411 service.
An alpha version of the application for Apple's smartphone was created, but a final release is still months away, a Tellme executive tells CNET News.
Microsoft unit is providing sports scores via its mobile search application, which enables users to speak into their BlackBerry and get a screen's worth of information.
Redmond isn't saying, but CNET News' Ina Fried suspects one of the first apps could be from the voice search company Microsoft acquired last year.
Angus Davis is following fellow co-founder Mike McCue out the door. Microsoft's new speech unit boss, Zig Serafin, says the group is well-positioned to make speech a mainstream interface.
The voice recognition company will become a part of the Microsoft Business Division under Jeff Raikes.

When Was the Last Time All Four Philly Sports Teams Failed to Make the Playoffs in Succession?
Mar 19, 2013, 2:55 PM EDT
Ryan Howard and Chase Utley were out of the lineup with
injuries for the first half of 2012, and the Phillies wound up missing the
playoffs for the first time in six seasons.
The Eagles finally bottomed out under Andy Reid last season,
their 4-12 record costing the long-time head coach his job and launching the
franchise into a rebuilding process.
Expectations suddenly soared for the 76ers when they acquired
Andrew Bynum over the summer, but he won't even so much as suit up for a game
this season, perhaps ever.
After enduring a long, bitter lockout that lasted into
January, the Flyers have massively underperformed and appear to be destined to
join the list of recent disappointments.
Usually at least one of the local professional franchises
can stand tall. One club is left to carry the torch, to lead Philly sports
fans through the dark tunnel that is our sports landscape, offering some form
of hope – even when we know it's only the false kind.
But with the Flyers tumbling further and further down the
standings, it looks like the home teams are going to let the people down in a
way they haven't in nearly two decades. The last time Philadelphia went a full
calendar year without a single representative in the MLB, NFL, NBA, or NHL
playoffs were the 1993-94 seasons.
The streak began with the Eagles in '93 after they lost
Randall Cunningham four games into the season, continued into the summer of '94
for Flyers and Sixers franchises that were in transition, and extended into the
fall when Major League Baseball players went on strike and cancelled the World
Just to put a cherry on top, the Birds missed the
tournament again under head coach Rich Kotite in '94 despite a 6-2 start. Eric
Lindros would finally come to the city's rescue, helping the Flyers reach the
postseason for the first time in six years – but only after the NHL endured one
of its vintage lockouts first.
It's hard to argue any period in Philly sports has been
worse since then. The Flyers were just beginning their run as a perennial
contender, and a short time later the Eagles would follow suit under Reid. Even
the Sixers provided some excitement during the Allen Iverson days, and more
recently the Phillies turned into a powerhouse.
The closest we've come to having a lost season like this was
'04-05. A lockout cancelled hockey season, the Phils were still treading water,
and the Eagles collapsed briefly after making a trip to the Super Bowl. Only
the 76ers made the playoffs, but there was a faint glimmer of hope there with
A.I. and first-year head coach Jim O'Brien.
Naturally O'Brien was fired after a first-round playoff
The worst part is there is no definitive end in sight to the
current playoff-less streak. The Phillies return their key players, but it's an
aging core and the front office had a polarizing offseason. Who knows how long
it will take Chip Kelly to clean up the mess Reid left behind for him at the
NovaCare Complex. The Sixers are either starting from square one, or re-signing
a head case with no knees. The Flyers' roster is loaded with young talent, but
the organization is up against the salary cap which makes it difficult to
address their immediate needs.
Wow, that's depressing.
The truth is the Phillies could return to prominence this
year, the Eagles could become competitive again in one offseason, and the
Flyers seemingly have too much talent to stay down in the dumps for too long.
Only the 76ers are seemingly in hopeless territory, but they'll have some
Who knows, maybe there truly is no place to go but up from
here. After all, it doesn't get a lot worse than this, and the pain can only
last for so long.

It's been a whole year since the Eat Well, Spend Less series began! This month, we're writing about the changes in our grocery budgets and eating habits through the past year.
For my family, the past year has been full of twists and turns! Discovering medical conditions of my husband (Joshua) that demanded attention, pregnancy and the birth of our 5th baby, 3 months of having my husband home from work (on medical leave), homeschooling 3 children, and all of the children growing and eating more and doing more as we try to balance frugal and simple and healthy and quick, the 2-year-old just pulled down a stack of puzzles! :)
Low Fat Whole Grain Waffles recipe
Last year, my sanity stayed intact and life was frugally simplified by:
1. Having a chest freezer
I still can't believe the difference this has made! We've had our freezer for 14 months now and it has become key in helping our family to eat well on a budget. It has saved trips to the store, allowed us to gather gallons of berries in the summer (without making it all into sugary jam or pie filling!), and afforded the ability to stock up on fish at discount prices.
My "upgraded" kitchen shelves!
2. Bi-weekly grocery shopping
I am still a huge Costco fan! All my reasons for loving Costco hold true. I like their produce. I like their baking supplies and spices. I like their frozen veggies and fruits. I like their dairy prices. And I love only going to 1 store, twice a month! It saves time and I know we spend less when we don't shop weekly.
(We do occasionally go to other stores to buy certain items, like bulk foods. And now that Joshua's back to work, we'll be buying bananas at QFC just down the road for the weeks when we're not doing our "regular" grocery shopping.)
See also: Is Costco Frugal?
3. Foraging for food
Okay, so I've only foraged two things so far. But still! It's a start, especially for someone (like me) living in an urban area and not having daytime transportation (and needing to take 4 kids along on walks!).
Last summer we picked 12+ gallons of huge, plump, delicious blackberries and froze them! We've been making blackberry syrup and using them in smoothies. Considering the price of frozen fruit in the store, we're saving a lot by harvesting the berries that grow wild here in western Washington! :)
This Spring I've been gathering nettles. (More about that later this week!)
4. Making easy meals and snacks
Unless we're having guests, I mostly follow my "three things and it's dinner!" rule. I've focused more on simple meat main dishes (grilled or baked fish, chicken, or turkey) with a grain on the side (often brown rice) and a veggie on the side (often frozen veggies from Costco). We've eaten lots of beans for lunches and oatmeal for breakfasts.
Snacks are usually no-cook things like fresh fruit, cheese, veggie sticks with hummus, or nuts (smoked almonds are our favorite). Again -- Costco makes these things more affordable, I have the older boys help prep fruits or veggies (doing several days' worth at a time), and I feel good about the food and snack options I'm serving!
Chai Tea Latte (like Starbucks)
5. Eating at home
This one's essential for spending less and eating well. I don't always feel like cooking dinner, but I combat that by having super easy meal options available (freezer burritos or beef vegetable soup from the freezer have "saved the day" more than a handful of times!). I also happily enlist Joshua's help with meals on the weekends, when he has time to grill chicken or fish. And ultimately, being home a lot (like... all day every day!) allows me to cook more while still keeping life feeling "simple".
Our favorite restaurant copycat recipe are filed here!
Where we're headed now: Weight loss (me)
Last year, I felt like we ate pretty balanced and healthy meals, but I had really fallen off the "weight loss" bandwagon and onto the "weight gain" one long before getting pregnant again. I don't have any good excuses... the summer was cold and cloudy, I felt depressed, I didn't care enough, and I liked food way too much. ;) I pulled out of that cycle (with God's help and blessing!) in time to be pregnant and then spend 8 months eating enough and gaining appropriately. Baby Channah is beautiful and healthy as can be! And I've lost 20 of the 25 pounds I gained in pregnancy.
However, I still have 10 pounds to lose from pregnancy #4, and 10 to lose from #3, and if I got really ambitious (which I may not be), 10 pounds to lose from pregnancies #1 and #2! Yikes. So, I'm definitely going to be watching my food choices and even keeping track of my calories for quite a while if that's going to happen.
I would rather just eat and eat (and gain weight) than to count calories, but I find I must count calories to help me keep a healthy balance, lose weight slowly, make sure I'm eating enough, and "spending" my calories wisely.
I'd like to share more on this topic in another post soon, but until then, I've written about weight loss in the past:
Weighing in: Practicing moderation in eating
Weight loss: Motivation, habits, and counting calories
Healthy snacks, moderated
Food Budgeting: Spending my calories wisely
Where we're headed now: Healthy lunches (Joshua)
After 3 months off, I felt a little rusty when it came time to start packing lunches for Joshua again! Fortunately, he keeps his lunch requests simple for me and with some planning, it can all be made ahead and just thrown in the lunchbox in the morning.
Joshua's been eating oatmeal (made with lactose-free milk) in the morning before leaving for work. In his lunch I pack 2 bananas, a protein drink (made with milk and protein powder), and a container of cooked pinto beans with some hot sauce and 1/2 ounce of cheese sprinkled on top. He eats something at each of his breaks, and warms the beans in the microwave for lunch.
He comes home hungry! But my goal is to have dinner on the table when he gets home, so we can eat right away. :)
Check out what the other Eat Well, Spend Less bloggers are sharing about their year:

I use this tip mostly for bananas, but it's good for any ripening fruit that tends to bruise easily, like pears, peaches, etc.
Place a piece of cardboard, bubble wrap, or foam under the fruit (or bag of fruit) as it ripens, to ease the pressure and prevent bruises.
I normally store bananas on a hard shelf. My current "banana shelf" is a hard plastic mesh -- even more likely to bruise a heavy bunch of bananas. I used some old bubble envelopes to make a nice cushion on the shelf for the bunches of bananas.
I hope no one missed me online last week. We were busy enjoying amazing Spring weather! Inside it's Legos, outside it's the bikes. We're blessed to have a nice quiet driveway/road in front of our house. The kids have been outside so much more since we moved from the apartment to this house. I'm SO GLAD for the space! :)
Sometimes I get tired of the clouds, but when the weather is nice here it is really, really nice. 60's and sunny is perfect in my book! :)
And... I really truly will be blogging at least two more times this week. I'll be posting my Eat Well, Spend Less post for April (!!) and then write about some of the new "food things" we've been doing lately. And next week, well, we'll see. I have ideas but run out of time first sometimes. ;)

Note: I'm sorry about the delay in getting these links posted! Our internet was down all day Tuesday.
When I need to chop some greens, like spinach or kale to put in soup, this helps contain the mess:
Split the bag open and chop on the bag. If I'm chopping a lot of greens, I may do this in two batches.
It looks like a lot less after being chopped! For some reason, chopping on the bag seems to be easier and less messy for me. I did use a cutting board under the bag, to protect the landlord's counters. ;)
And be sure to use a dull knife. I used a big sharp knife and chopped away happily... and it cut into the bag a little! We definitely don't want plastic in our food! Normally my dull kitchen knives don't cut the bag at all.
After I took pictures of my chopped kale (it's awesome in Turkey Sausage Kale Soup or Veggie Bean Soup!), I took a picture of what the *rest* of the kitchen counter looked like. Way too full of my junk and projects I keep thinking I'll have time for. Well, I did get some mending done this week and did some decluttering last week, but I'm ready to be done! Plus, the weather has been too nice to spend my free time cleaning junk out of kitchen cupboards. :P :)
And one more bonus picture today: Eliyahu with a Lego drawer. The drawer slides in and out and can hold small things (like treasure maps). :) For Eliyahu's 6th birthday this year, he got The Lego Ideas Book and both boys have spent hours looking through it, reading it, and using ideas from it to create things from our big box of garage-sale Legos! I am amazed at the things the boys have been building. I look at it and just see a jumble of bricks... :)
I've missed blogging! I did pull my camera out last week for some pictures of dinner, and I have some really good stuff to write about... I may start trying to use the computer again during afternoon quiet time... or get up super early to write... :)

When I started cooking regularly (which was when I got married 8 years ago), I was a no-nonsense cook. Garnish? Bah! Who needs it?! Taste is all that matters, right? :)
Joshua, however, loves to make foods look beautiful. In the years since I started blogging about food, I've realized the importance of making a dish look attractive. Here are some of my tips for garnishing foods!
The obvious: Place a few parsley sprigs on the plate of food (attractively arranged, with the main dish in the middle of the plate).
Grilled food:
Aside from getting beautiful grill marks on our Weber Q grill, Joshua recommends fresh coarsely ground black pepper to garnish grilled meats or veggies.
Mexican food:
Garnish Mexican food with freshly snipped cilantro or chopped green onions.
Garlic bread:
Add chopped parsley (dried or fresh) or chives to the butter when making garlic bread for a more colorful appearance.
Sprinkle dried basil or Italian seasoning on top of homemade pizza before baking. After baking, sprinkle with crushed red pepper and/or Parmesan cheese.
Finely shred some carrot or cheese to garnish a lettuce salad.
Garnish a pasta salad with shredded Parmsean cheese.
Use red onion rather than white or yellow for a more attractive presentation.
Roasted chicken:
Sprinkle with parsley flakes, freshly chopped chives, or kosher salt.
Brush beaten egg over bread tops and sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sliced almonds, rolled oats, or wheat bran before baking.
Waffles, french toast, or desserts:
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Cheesecake, pies, baked apple oatmeal, chai tea lattes, and just about anything else:
Top with whipped cream for some extra style and deliciousness! :)
Any tips to add on the topic of beautiful food? :)

I'm taking today off from hosting Kitchen Tip Tuesdays. Would you believe we have more doctor appointments and an outpatient surgery scheduled this week?! (I'm not the one having surgery.) At any rate, I'm thinking this has just got to be the last week of doctors, surgeries, and babysitters at our house for hopefully quite a long time! :)

Last week, the the Eat Well, Spend Less team was blogging about babies and food!
Kitchen Planning When You Are Pregnant -- Amy writes about overcoming pregnancy tiredness and aversions, with simple tips for planning ahead. Her final advice? Keep it simple! (I definitely do that... and it's 100% okay. :D)
Tips for Taking Meals to a New Mom -- Carrie gives some AWESOME tips about meals for new moms (and their families), with things to keep in mind whether you're on the giving or receiving end of the meal. I resonate with everything she says!! Food is one of the best after-baby gifts (in my opinion!) and even if you're not making it from scratch, it's still a blessing to the mom who didn't have to plan the meal or get the items from the store. And on the receiving end, let others serve you and try not to be high-maintenance. But just go read Carrie's post -- it's great.
The Postpartum Diet -- Aimee writes an overview of some things to consider for postpartum eating, with tips for making healthy food choices, yummy breakfast oatmeal (milk-supply boosting!) recipes, and a high-fiber prunes recipe that Aimee says is amazing enough to eat any day of the week, postpartum or not!
Food Celebrations and a New Baby -- I smiled all through Jessica's delightful post about celebrating a new baby with food! I think I've tried nearly all of her ideas in the past -- including making a BIRTH-day cake to celebrate the new baby's arrival! (I didn't get a BIRTH-day cake made this time, boo!) Best of all, Jessica gives us permission to stock our pantries with easy foods and drinks. (Is this the time to admit that my kids have been mostly eating cold cereal and milk for breakfasts for the past month?)
Channah (3 weeks old)
A Homemade Baby Food Primer -- Mandi shares about several homemade baby food approaches, with approachable ways to avoid the shelf of jarred baby food at your grocery store. If you're already serving fresh healthy meals to the rest of your family, homemade baby food just makes sense!
Real-Food Baby Food -- Katie talks about the ways she's started her babies on solid foods and gives pointers for introducing some of the best "first foods" for babies -- avocado, sweet potatoes, egg yolks, bananas, and more!
Food for New Parents to Eat Well and Spend Less -- Shaina has some tried-and-true ways to eat well as a new parent without spending hours in the kitchen or spending a lot on take-out food. I love that she recommends keeping carrots, romaine lettuce, and apples in the fridge -- all foods that keep well and make for healthy snacking! (They're also some of the more affordable produce items at the grocery store.)
This month's Eat Well, Spend Less topic is all about BABIES! Okay, babies and food. ;)
In the past few weeks, Aimee, Carrie, and I have all given birth to baby girls! The rest of the team decided to help us celebrate and picked baby-related topics to write about. (Scroll down for links to the other posts in this series!)
You know, I love having children. Every age (that I've experienced so far... my oldest is only 8) is amazing in a different way.
My older children are inspiring to me, make me laugh, and bring so much love to our home. My littler ones say cute things, make big messes, and bring so much love to our home. ;)
And my newborn, Channah -- she makes me feel so relaxed and content, everyone fights over getting to hold her (but I get her the most :D) and she brings even more love to our home.
And I sure don't feel like working in the kitchen when I could be cuddling with a sweet little baby!
So, I don't. I mean, as much as possible. And how is this possible?
1. Make freezer meals.
This was my biggest regret after having my first baby: I hadn't made any meals for the freezer. Oh, I'd planned on just making "easy stuff" but with a fussy baby who didn't sleep much, I very quickly realized that my 30-minute "easy meal" was not at all easy to pull off as a new mom. In fact, things that normally took me 30-uninterrupted-minutes suddenly took 90-very-interrupted-minutes. Or more. :)
With subsequent babies, I have made freezer meals my top priority when getting ready for the baby. And with even more hungry tummies to keep filled, having dinners made ahead transforms any afternoon into a much easier juggling feat of naps and quiet-time activities, minus dinner prep.
We're picky about what we consider a good freezer meal (e.g. it really shouldn't taste like frozen reheated leftovers!), but I've been able to find a good variety of freezer meals we like. At the very least, freezing cooked or grilled chicken breast, cooked taco meat, cooked beans, or other "ingredients" can make from-scratch cooking a lot faster!
My freezer meal plan in 2010 (with baby #4)
My freezer meal plan this year (with baby #5)
2. Don't do dishes. (Or: Have a dishes plan.)
When we lived in a house without a dishwasher, we bought paper plates and bowls to use for the first few weeks after baby was born. This really kept the kitchen cleaner, and with no effort on my part. (For some reason, Joshua enjoys kitchen clean-up a lot more when it doesn't involve him having to wash dishes!)
Where we live now, we have a dishwasher and haven't felt the need to use lots of disposable dishes. Using my homemade freezer meals means there is already a lot fewer dishes to be done each day, and with the dishwasher, kitchen clean-up is something I've been able to do in ~20 minutes after dinner (for the whole day's dishes).
At any rate, if you hate dishes or don't have a dishwasher, have a plan so you don't need to worry about them.
3. Clean the kitchen floor.
A dirty kitchen floor drives me crazy! It wasn't so bad before we had all these kids who drop so many crumbs with every meal. Seriously, it is next to impossible to keep the kitchen floor clean with kids unless you...
...have the kids help clean up their crumbs! (And if you don't have kids to help sweep crumbs, then hopefully this means you have way less crumbs on your floor than I have on mine!!)
My favorite kid-friendly sweep-up method is to have a Dirt Devil or similar sort of cordless hand-held vacuum and let them use it to sweep dry crumbs (I make them pick up wet food spills by hand). We had a Dust Buster for several years and used it multiple times a day before it wore out. It's easy enough for even a 2-year-old to sweep up crumbs from the floor.
Currently, we use good old fashioned brooms and dust pans. The kids have their choice of a regular broom or whisk broom, and after a meal I usually assign someone the task of sweeping up crumbs. They don't do a perfect job, but they do get a lot of the crumbs -- and I know there will just be more after the next meal anyway. ;) Every couple days the vacuum cleaner gets brought out and then we really do get every last crumb swept up. :)
4. Grocery shop before the baby's born.
I found it helpful to stock up on pantry staples (at Costco, of course) before a new baby. With a stocked pantry and freezer meals made, it's so nice to not need as many groceries each week for a while!
Grocery shopping is also one of those things you can mention when someone asks if you need anything. Armed with a detailed list (and your grocery money, of course!), having a friend or relative pick up groceries for you is such a blessing if you don't feel like going out with a new baby in tow.
(Personally, I just never feel like going anywhere with a new baby. I'm such a homebody!)
5. Use appliances.
If you have a crock pot, bread machine, rice cooker, or other handy kitchen appliances -- learn how to use them for foods your family likes!
Babies are often really unpredictable, so when you can start a meal early in the crock pot, or use the timer feature on your bread machine, you can fit dinner prep into whatever snippet of time you have early in the day rather than scrambling at the last minute (or stressing out because you need to work on dinner but you'd rather rock your baby to sleep!).
I don't have a lot of kitchen appliances, so help me out here -- what other appliances streamline dinner prep or include timer features? :)
6. Accept help.
This only works if you have offers of help, which I hope every new mom does -- from her husband, family, or friends. When someone wants to help, accept their offer! Okay, so your husband doesn't do housework just like you would -- but that's okay. Your kids fold the laundry and it's not folded "right" -- but that's okay.
I feel really blessed right now because my husband and kids can and DO do so much around the house for me! And honestly, they do a pretty good job most of the time. No, it's not all exactly how it would be if I were doing it. But it's definitely okay and I thank them and tell them how awesome they are. :)

I don't own a spoon rest. (Do you?)
For some reason, spoon rests seem cluttery and annoying to me. I usually just put spoons on the (clean!) counter when cooking and wipe the counter when I'm done. Before I had a dishwasher, that seemed easier than washing an extra dish! :)
When warming up leftovers, I like to use the empty leftovers containers as a "free" temporary spoon rest. The dish is already going to need washed, anyway!
This "spoon rest" had leftover cooked carrots in it

I woke up at 5:30am, and felt the dampness on my skirt. I could feel water leaking and as I headed to the bathroom, I mentally calculated... just barely 36 weeks.
I knew it wasn't time for my baby to come.
I don't feel unbearably huge yet. My babies don't come early. Joshua had brain surgery last week and can't lift or drive. And the house is a mess.
Despite my hopes that the "little leak" would just go away, it didn't. A visit with my midwife confirmed that it was really leaking (not that I had any doubts!) and also that...
"Your baby isn't head-down. And I can't change that for you."
Read the rest of Channah's birth story...
Ruth (4) holding Channah (2 weeks)
It's nap time / quiet time at our house right now... we'll see how much typing I get done before Channah wakes! :) At 2 1/2 weeks old, Channah is probably my most content baby ever. She's nursing great and sleeps a lot, mostly with me. I figure since I'm supposed to rest and take it easy for a few weeks, I may as well rest with the baby in my arms! :)
So let's see... where to start. With a little about her name, I guess! :)
Channah is the Hebrew name of Hannah in the Bible. The "ch" is a soft "ch" sound like in the word "Chanukkah" or "challah" or "loch", and the "a" sounds are like the "a" in "father". Channah means grace, or compassion.
Shalom is (of course) the Hebrew word meaning "peace". When we were expecting our first baby, we decided we wanted to use Fruits of the Spirit (from Galatians 5) for girls' middle names. Ruth's middle name is Patience, and for Channah we decided to use Peace -- but liked the sound of the Hebrew word Shalom better with Channah. :)
During rest time one day, when both Ruth (4) and Moshe (2) were asleep in their beds, I put Channah by the window for some sunshine. I came back to find Yehoshua (7) had gotten his camera out and was taking pictures of her as she slept. So sweet!

When it comes to girls' basketball, all signs point toward Saturday's CIF Southern California Open Division championship game between Los Angeles Windward (31-0) and Santa Ana Mater Dei (30-1) as being the game of the year.
The 6 p.m. showdown is one of six regional championship games — boys and girls — to be played at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario. Another five games will be played at Ontario Colony High for Divisions III, IV and V. The winners advance to state championship games next weekend in Sacramento.
"People have been talking about this game for a long time," Windward Coach Vanessa Nygaard said. "I'm so proud of the girls making it to this point. We're excited to play."
This is also the game for top three-point shooters. Windward's USC-bound Courtney Jaco has made 402 three-pointers in her career and 136 this season. Mater Dei's Stanford-bound Karlie Samuelson made nine three-pointers in a semifinal win over Corona Santiago.
Windward defeated Mater Dei in a nonleague game last season. Mater Dei went on to win the state Division I championship; Windward was upset by Gardena Serra in the 4AA finals.
"They're very talented and have outstanding shooters," Nygaard said. "Hopefully, we can play good defense."
Windward has the No. 1 junior point guard in Jordin Canada.
The 8 p.m. Open Division boys' final is just as compelling, with a rematch of the Southern Section 1AA championship game between Etiwanda (28-2) and Mater Dei (32-2).
Etiwanda's stifling defense caused big problems for Mater Dei in a 54-51 1AA victory, but the Monarchs are extremely motivated and were looking forward to playing the Eagles moments after their semifinal win over Long Beach Poly.
In the Division I final at 4 p.m., Los Angeles Loyola (25-7) and Santa Monica (28-6) will be playing for the third time this season. Loyola won two close nonleague games.

Budget Accommodation Asia Japan
Hida Takayama, Japan
I really liked this place. The dorm was pretty basic but clean, the kitchen was very well stocked with equipment and communal oil, salt etc. they were very helpful and kind. I didn't mind the location, but as they say on the web it's about a 20minute walk from the JR station. Thank you for a great stay!
Nagoya, Japan
Stayed in a eight bed mixed room. It seemed more to be a meeting room for business conferences.
But with eight matresses, on the traditional carpet. It was very clean, and comfortable as well. Service was outstanding, extremely helpful people nehind the reception. Bit most of all really noce neighbourhood, with ohsu temple just next to the hotel as well as the shopping streets and the metro station.

Complaint Resolution
Complaint Resolution
It is hereby the policy of Missouri Schools for the Severely Disabled (MSSD) that discrimination against any student, parent or co-worker on the basis of sex, race, national origin or disability is prohibited. No one shall be retaliated against for any filed complaint alleging discrimination. Retaliation includes but is not limited to intimidation, threats, interference with an individual's exercise or enjoyment of any protected rights. The parent or guardian of a student has the right to file a formal complaint alleging noncompliance with regulations outlined in Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.
Level One
A student, parent or guardian with a complaint of discrimination on the basis of sex, race, national origin or disability or a complaint of retaliation for exercising protected rights, under section 50401 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or Title II of the Amendment with Disabilities Act of 1990 may discuss it with the teacher or building administrator involved. The object would be to resolve the matter informally. Level one may be by-passed by the grievant to level two.
Level Two
If the complaint is not resolved at level one, and the student, parent or guardian wishes to pursue the complaint, they may formalize it by filing a complaint in writing to the Title IX/Compliance Coordinator. The complaint shall state the nature of a grievance and the remedy requested. The complaint must raise compliance issues involving an educational program implemented by DESE for DESE to have jurisdiction over the complaint. The filing of the formal, written complaint at level two must be within thirty (30) school days from the date of the event giving rise to the grievance or from the date the individual filing the complaint could reasonably become aware of such occurrence. The student, parent or guardian may request that a meeting concerning the complaint be held with the Title IX/Compliance Coordinator. A minor student may be accompanied at this meeting by a parent or guardian. The Title IX/Compliance Coordinator or his/her designee shall investigate the complaint and attempt to resolve it. Complaints are a public record but will not be disclosed unless required by law. A written report from the Title IX/Compliance Coordinator regarding action taken will be sent to the individual filing the complaint within thirty (30) school days after receipt of the complaint.
Missouri Schools for the Severely Disabled will take all necessary steps to remedy the effects of the discrimination or retaliation and attempt to prevent further problems in the future. This procedure in no way denies the right of an individual to file formal complaints with the United States Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), or other agencies available for mediation or rectification of rights, grievances, or to seek private counsel for complaints alleging discrimination.

Stars Without Photoshop
Celebrities are Photoshopped beyond recognition for ads and magazine covers and we hate it. Besides establishing completely unreasonable standards of beauty, these retouched photos make women look like Barbie dolls. We searched high and low for freckles, smile lines, and knee caps (seriously, editors airbrush out everything!) and compiled refreshing images of stars without Photoshop. These ladies are gorgeous without computer-generated features. Here's to going natural! By Joanna Douglas, Shine Staff

American History Collection (8 vols.)
by 7 authors Cincotta, Howard, Ramsey, Stewart, Nathan Glick, Paine, Thomas, Madison, James, Jay, John, Hamilton, Alexander
Logos Bible Software 1998
The American History Collection is an amazing resource for any scholar who desires to understand more about the formative documents of American government. Including Thomas Paine's Common Sense, The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States, this is a very significant collection and should be a part of any American scholar's library.
Notable Quotations from these Documents
As to religion, I hold it to be the indispensable duty of all government, to protect all conscientious professors thereof, and I know of no other business which government hath to do therewith.
—Common Sense, 1776
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
—United States Declaration of Independence

Common Sense
Published anonymously in 1776, the year of the American Declaration of Independence, Paine's Common Sense became an immediate bestseller, with fifty-six editions printed in that year alone. It was this pamphlet, more than any other factor, which helped to spark off the movement that established the independence of the United States. From his experience of revolutionary politics, Paine drew those principles of fundamental human rights which, he felt, must stand no matter what excesses are committed to obtain them, and which he later formulated in his Rights of Man.
The Federalist Papers
These 85 essays, collected in one volume, were written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay from 1787-1788. Writing under the shared pen name Publius, these three American Fathers wrote to persuade the citizens of the state of New York that this new Constitution was a good idea.
An Outline of the American Economy
How labor, agriculture, small businesses, large corporations, the Federal Reserve System, and the government have interacted to produce the U.S. economic system.
An Outline of American History
How the United States has been transformed from its origins as an obscure set of colonies on the Atlantic coast a little more than 200 years ago into what one political analyst terms "the first universal nation."
The Declaration of Independence
This is the complete text of Thomas Jefferson's classic document establishing the independence of the colonies from the British.
Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents of the United States
Inaugural addresses from George Washington to Barack Hussein Obama and everyone in between are included in this resource. Each inaugural address is intended to set the tone for the subsequent administration. Now you can read these addresses and see if the goals set forth by each administration were met.
An Outline of American Government
What makes U.S. government uniquely American ... its Constitution, the separation of powers, the concept of "checks and balances," the decentralized roles of state and local governments, and a citizenry with wide opportunity to be part of it all.
The Constitution of the United States of America
The Constitution, Bill of Rights, and subsequent amendments form the basis of the government of the United States of America. All three of these foundational documents are included in this resource.
