Handy Family Tips: How to Get Kids to Eat Vegetables
Vegetables are good for our health, but they are not very popular. I think this is because the advertising departments of junk, sugary and chocolaty food companies are much better than the advertising departments of vegetable companies. It is very simple. If we had the same publicity for vegetables that we do for junk food, it would be easy to get kids to eat vegetables and they would do it happily.
Even more than advertising, the best way to get kids to eat vegetables is to love eating vegetables yourself and to buy lots of them for your home. If this is what kids have on hand, this is what they will eat. Obviously, this is not as easy to do as we might think. Otherwise, everyone would do it and every kid in the world would eat vegetables at every meal.
The A-Z Vegetable Challenge
One of the tricks I offer to my clients to get kids to eat vegetables and overcome eating problems is the A-Z Vegetable Challenge. Starting with the letter A, the family chooses a vegetable beginning with that letter to focus on for the week, to learn about, research, cook with and eat.
Raising Babies: Baby Food
One of the scariest things about having your first child is baby food. What do babies eat? How do you feed them and when? The answers are not always straightforward.
Every two or three years they change the philosophy about feeding babies. I have to say, as a mother of 3 kids, this can get very confusing. When Eden was a baby, the philosophy was breastfeed full time until the baby is 4 months old, introduce fruits slowly for one month and then introduce mashed vegetables with chicken (no dairy, no egg and no nuts until 12 months of age). I did exactly this and it worked fine.
When Tsoof was born, we lived in California and the philosophy was different: breastfeed until 6 months old, substitute with formula if you needed and introduce cereals at 6 months. Fruits, vegetables and chicken were introduced much later. I was totally confused. There was about 7 years gap between Eden and Tsoof. Papers and books kept saying that what we know today is not the same as what we knew a few years ago. I didn't know what to do. While I was still breastfeeding, I debated whether to stick with what I knew or give the new philosophy a try. I asked around. A much older and more mature mom told me that the philosophy changes every 2-3 years and that she thinks it is better to stick to whatever works for you. I decided to take her advice and stick to what I knew. I did the same with Tsoof as what I did with Eden and it worked perfectly fine.
Raising Babies: Extended Family can be Bliss
Your extended family can be a great help once a new baby arrives. I didn't understand just how much until Eden was born. I was in my last year of university and working full time. My parents lived over 3 hours drive from us.
I never had a close bond with my mom. When others talked about having their moms around when you had a baby, I didn't really know what to think about it. When Eden was born, I was in hospital for 10 days. I got a terrible infection and my mom came to stay with us after we were discharged from hospital because I had to go back every day to change my bandages.
We got home and I didn't really know what would happen. But my mom incredible. She had already had 5 kids of her own and she knew exactly what to do. She said to me, "You focus on eating, sleeping and breastfeeding" and that is exactly what I did. Meanwhile, she cooked, cleaned and played with Eden, massaged her and sang songs. I never knew my mom could be like that. She was awesome.
Moving House Made Easy: Food
One of the biggest challenges of moving to a new house is managing food. Even after everything else is done, in that last week of the move and your first week in the new place, eating becomes a bit problematic. You cleaned out your old fridge and pantry, so you do not have all of your food, and by the time you assembled the dining table and found your aluminum foil, 3-4 days have passed.
One of the first things I do when I know that we are going to move is try to use up everything in my refrigerator, freezer and pantry. That way, we travel lighter and do not have to throw away too many things. There is something liberating about cleaning out cupboards but it can also be challenging. Why? Because you don't really get to eat what you want, you eat what have in the house. Luckily, you then pack less on the move and throw away less. It is a perfect opportunity to start new and healthy diet regimes. For all those last things in the refrigerator, I use a cooler with frozen ice in it too keep things cool or give away things from the freezer if I cannot take them with me.
The second thing I do is plan our meals for the last week in the old house, focusing on the last two days when most things are packed. If needed, I schedule meals at a restaurant as a celebration. To make it easier, I think of the house like a hotel: there is hot water in the kettle, so instant noodles are a great solution. There is an oven, so oven ready made food is easy, and there is a microwave so frozen meals are also a great solution. I do the same sort of plan for the first week in the new house.
Self Regulation: Tips
Self regulation is the ability to control ourselves and not do things impulsively. This skill is like a muscle – the more we practice, the stronger it gets. Once it is strong, it is much easier to resist temptation and function according to a "plan", rather than going with whatever comes your way or whoever applies more pressure.
In the last two posts in this series, I explained the mechanism of self regulation and shared some research on its importance, particularly in parenting. Today, I want to share some tips with you on how to strengthen the self regulation 'muscle'. It can be easy to find self control and be the role model you want to be for your children.
Know Your Partner: Home, Food, Telecommunication & Pets
There are some more important questions to ask if you want to know your partner and our topics for today are home, food, telecommunication and pets. These questions will help you find out the things you and your partner find it hard to compromise on. A good way to tell is if you are very passionate about something. It may be something that is too important to you to give up.
It is important to remember that some of the answers will change over time. We are searching for the things you think are "musts" or that you must have and are not willing to let go of. These are the issues that may become a conflict later on.
Handy Family Tips: Easy Healthy Spread
A couple of months ago, we went to visit some friends of ours who had a guest. Their guest was a young man who loved cooking but did not really think of himself as cook or a chef. To feed his love for cooking while travelling, he made a nice and easy garlic spread and which we tasted on a piece of bread. It was heavenly.
Since I love introducing the kids to special and healthy food options, I loved the idea. My kids are very much healthy eaters. When they make a sandwich it is full of vegetables and adding the garlic as a spread was a great way to add flavor to the sandwiches without adding junk to it.
When I came home, I had to try it. Here is what you do.
Handy Family Tips: How to Peel Avocado
I love avocado. Always have. And I am very happy that my kids love avocado as well. I love avocado, but do you know what I do not like? Waste, clutter and buying products that only fit one specific purpose (well, that is a kind of waste).
A few weeks ago, I spent a week running workshops at a conference in the north of the country. The conference organizers booked for me into a serviced apartment, because they thought I would be more comfortable making my own food. Since I worked most of the day, I hardly had time to cook for myself, but in the evening and at night, when I felt hungry, I could make myself simple, yet tasty, things to eat.
When I checked what was in the apartment's kitchen drawers and the cupboards, it hit me that everything was so organized. I compared it to my own kitchen cupboards and drawers. Ouch! That hurt!
No, they did not have all the utensils I had at home, but I could manage with everything just fine.
From the Life Coaching Deck: Trust Your Healing Powers
As a life coach, I have to keep a strong belief in the power of coaching even when those who come for coaching seem impossible to help at first. Recently, I had to question my belief when a new client came to me that made me doubt my ability to help her. After years of working with people and helping them see the amazing power of the mind, when Millie came, I had some doubts.
Millie was referred to me by a friend. He said to me, "Ronit, Millie needs to come and see you urgently". So we scheduled a session and to my coaching deck came a gentle, beautiful 40-year-old woman with spots all over her face.
The more she told me about the problem, the more I doubted about my ability to help her. How on Earth can I help a woman with a 35-year-old skin problem? I am not a dermatologist. I panicked a bit and talked to myself, "Come on, Ronit, you've helped people who had taken antidepressants for 24 years, you've helped people who had used drugs, you've helped sick people. You can do this". One side of me said, "You can do it", while the other asked, "How?"
I had no answer.
Happily Wealthy Family: No Flights Policy
Money is very tight in many families. We want so many things for our kids and for our family that it seems like there is never enough. This week, I had sessions with many clients who wanted to improve their financial situation. One of them earned $50,000 a year and owed $42,000. One was a single mother who had spent all her savings on tutoring. Another one spent a fortune on supplements and health professionals, and all the rest told me variation of the same story: money is tight.
Every family may reach a point in life when there is just not enough money to survive the next month. It is inevitable that some life circumstance will change the flow of money that we count on to manage our daily life. If you go over your life and ask yourself when your supply of money was at risk or when it stopped entirely, you are likely to find that it happened a lot.
We were in this situation many times in our life. It happened when Gal's company had a wave of redundancies, whenever his contract ended somewhere in the world and we had to move ourselves from one county to another (no income, lots of expenses), after September 11 2001, when Gal had cancer and took time to recover and when we had something big and special that ate into our savings, like going overseas to see our families. Every time we stopped working, our family was at risk of not having enough to pay the bills.
Saving for a rainy day was always our solution for those situations, but saving is never enough. Sometimes, a big wave comes along and wipes you out. Gal lost his job twice after we had bought a property. We are not fortunetellers.

BNPs -- turn in or keep?
So, I run elite STFs daily and now I'm sitting on a nice pile of neural processors (for me at least). I hear they're used to get MKXII gear. My question is, how much is required for a given project? Do I need to stockpile them all? I'm tier 3 omega right now, so at the moment I'm not using them for anything. If I turn say half (I have 60+) in for dilithium, will I find myself short later? I wouldn't want to reach a higher tier and find that I don't have enough processors for projects. They don't seem to hard too get, I'm just afraid that I'll regret cashing them in later when I should have saved them for projects.
Last time I checked, a Dev said that the MK XII set parts require 10 BNP each, so 30 BNP per set. Omega, MACO/KHG, Adapted MACO/KHG makes 90 for all space sets and 90 for all ground sets so at a guess I'd say we need 180 BNP for all sets if we wanted them all.
Not sure if the MK XII Borg Assimilated set needs BNP though.
How can you be that dilithium hungry do you buy zen with DL?
I'm *always* dilithium hungry. I'm trying to take advantage of the low exchange rates before they go back up, so I'm trying to churn out as much dil as I can.
I'm also too cheap to spend money for zen at the moment. The whole "poor college student" stereotype is very true in my case :P
Well OP, my thought I've been having about BNPs is:
Keep what you intend on using on Mk XII sets, and anything past that, turn into Dil.
$7.25 isn't even 1,000 zen..
7,250 zen is $72.50, or 10 hours of work at $7.25 an hour.

All Hail The Waffle House – A Trappy New Year
In this cruel world, there are some questions that should not be answered. Who shot JFK? Was 9/11 an inside job? Where is Waldo? Will the Real Slim Shady please stand up?

Famous WW2 Quote"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

My dear former employer,
It is not without a twinge of regret that I am now declaring my withdrawal from the ranks of your syndicate. I admire your mission, and I admire you. At the same time, I cannot simply stand the tedium of waiting around for assignments. I have obligations to myself that require action. I have lived a long, chaotic life, and if I wish to continue it in my undead state (which I do), I must seek more exciting paths. Therefore, I am once again setting forth into the worlds.
I am also searching for new prey–or should I put "old" prey. The so-called Azerothian Horde is now a haphazard coalition of races with questionable loyalty to one another. At best, they are a thorn in my side. I will still hunt them, that is for certain. Yet, the real threats are the Iron Horde and the Burning Legion.
Recently, I have joined the ranks of the Shadows of Argus. I fight for the cause of my people when I am not fulfilling the needs of the Ebon Blade. I have already aided them in culling the ranks of the Sargerai. I detest those filthy traitors! Anyway, I can inform you that the Shadows are helping me find the activity that I have been craving.
That being said, I, as sincerely as I can, apologize for leaving you vulnerable. I would say that was callous of me, but that would be redundant given that I am a undead killing machine. Plus, I left roughly twelve-thousand gold coins with our mutual warlock friend. I gave her instructions that she put the money towards ensuring your continued safety. You are certainly in deft hands with her, if not safe ones…
I hope to cross paths with you again. For a while, our time together was invigorating. By fel and shadow, may you find what you seek. Until then, suffer well, my former director, and remain vigilant.
Knight-Champion of the Ebon Blade
Neophyte of Shadows of Argus

Fenimore Art Museum
Treasures from The Frederic Remington Art Museum
A century ago, Frederic Remington was the busiest artist in America. He researched his subjects in books, in the field, and through personal correspondence. He taught himself color theory to overcome the limitations of working in black and white and investigated the science of casting to perfect his sculptures.

Docents are enthusiastic people of all ages. They are trained facilitators who act as liaisons between museum exhibitions and the public. They play an integral role in presenting the museum's collections to a diverse audience.

Folk Art on Fire
The art in this exhibition celebrates the camaraderie and bravery of 19th-century American firefighters through the folk art of the time. Fire companies were eager to celebrate their value to their communities by embellishing their everyday gear and ceremonial dress, and by commissioning noble portraits of firefighting heroes. Hats, buckets, banners, clothing and even the fire engines were elaborately decorated for public celebrations such as parades, ceremonies and competitions.
Reveal Conceal: The Transforming Power of Masks
In masks we see the many faces of the human condition. The act of masking transcends cultural differences and is celebrated in all facets of the human family. Masks herald death and rebirth in rites of passage. They ensure successful harvest, fertility and prosperity throughout the year. Masks create a link to the past, family identity and hereditary rights. In religious rituals the masker often becomes the spirit being represented, or is a medium through which the spirit communicates with the people.

Ansel Adams: The Man Who Captured the Earth's Beauty
Ansel Adams (1902–1984) was born in San Francisco and took his first photograph with a Kodak #1 Box Brownie camera in Yosemite Valley when he was fourteen. Although trained as a concert pianist from 1914 through 1927, he also studied photography with the photo-finisher Frank Dittman. By 1930, photography became his career choice and the American western landscape his focus.

Guitar Hero III the First Game to $1 Billion In Sales 106
from the rock-out-with-your-pocketbook-out dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Surely it's difficult to sell something that's twice the price (because of the required peripheral) of other games? I'll complain about $90 games but had no qualms about paying $180 for a game and two dorky plastic guitars. That's pretty impressive.
I think $1b is a milestone worth noting.
Everyone seems fond of pointing this out, along with listing a bunch of other games that sold more copies. The thing is, however, that that isn't the point. Cheaper games _should_ sell more because of where they hit the demand curve. The point is that despite requiring somewhat pricey peripherals it still sold enough copies to reach $1 billion, and that's impressive. It's even more so when you consider that many people are buying this over 2 other games (due to increased price); that's why using total revenue is actually a useful benchmark.
Finally, I would point out that since guitars from previous versions work with III, a large percentage of people only needed to buy the software, not the bundle. So if you don't believe the above, than realize that 60% or so of those sales are at the standard game price.
"... two-thirds of non-musicians exposed to music games plan to start playing a real instrument in the next couple of years"
Uh, yeah, and I am planning to have a brick barbequeue, jacuzzi, fake beach and year-round soft fruit crops on my allotment in the next couple of years.
I'll be pleased if I actually get rid of all the weeds
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN to Air on CBS, 11/23
Frosty, that "jolly, happy soul" whose old silk hat full of magic has turned him into a musical Christmas legend, once again demonstrates his unique showmanship in FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, the popular animated musical special narrated by Jimmy Durante, to be rebroadcast Friday, Nov. 23 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The animated television special based on the popular song of the same title was first aired on December 7, 1969 on CBS (where it has aired ever since),and was produced for television by Rankin/Bass. The special features the voices of comedians Jimmy Durante as narrator and Jackie Vernon as the titular character. This special marked the first use of traditional cel animation (as opposed to stop-motion animation) for Rankin/Bass in a Christmas special.
Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass wanted to give the show and its characters the look of a Christmas card, so Paul Coker, Jr., a greeting card and Mad magazine artist, was hired to do the character and background drawings. The animation was produced by Mushi Production in Japan, with then-Mushi staffer Osamu Dezaki among the animation staff. Rankin/Bass veteran writer Romeo Muller adapted and expanded the story for television as he had done with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Getting into college is very exciting and prospective and current students aren't afraid to show their school spirit. How can you do the same? Try cheering on your school's teams!
Why should students attend athletic events? Well, you get to cheer on your fellow classmates and represent your school, obviously! Some students go all out with body paint and have a crew to match up together. More of a casual fan? You can still attend, have a great time and possibly win free stuff like t-shirts or other fan merchandise to support the athletics program. If you go to a school that is well known in sports (like UNC Chapel Hill, which I root for during football and basketball seasons), you could even be featured on TV. Let your parents and friends at home know to watch or DVR the game you'll be attending – this happened to me recently and it was cool to see myself on the big screen!
Campbell is not well known in sports but they do have a good athletic program and it's growing every year. We just got a women's lacrosse team and since I know some fellow classmates who play, I went to cheer on my friends. I had NO IDEA about the game before that day but it was an interesting and exciting experience to share with other students who were also trying to learn about the game. For some students, going to athletic events and not knowing anything about a sport can be a good thing: I for one am excited to attend more lacrosse games as the season progresses to see what else I can learn!
While there are other ways to show your support for your school, attending an athletic event is among the most enjoyable ones. Try it!

Ah, the post-high school Facebook dilemma. We've all had it: These are people that you've known for a long time or could be people you grew up with but now you just don't want to see the sixteenth picture of their cat or their statuses that no longer interest you in any way. What do you do?
If used properly, Facebook is a fantastic networking tool. Your "friends" could someday be job opportunities – after all, it's who you know that gets you far! – so if they're someone of future interest, stay connected. If they have potential but have a habit of posting things you just don't need to see, however, there's always the "Show In News Feed" option to uncheck. Or consider LinkedIn: This site is a great option for those you may see a professional future with because it's built upon resumes and professionalism instead of "he said; she said" statuses and unnecessary selfie pictures. You're working toward a career, a job and a future and your social networks should cater to the image you want the world to have of you and your passions.
There's also the question of "Do I actually consider this person a friend anymore?" Over time, the answer may become "No"...but it's not a negative: It's just a different chapter in your life. If this is the case, unfriend them or remove them from your news feed (if you're afraid to upset the person). People mature, change and move on – Facebook is great for keeping in touch but it's really best for who you want to keep in touch with.
Don't get me wrong – I'm all about social networking! I utilize Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and everything else I can get my hands on to promote my band, my work, my interests, my activities and my passions. With its groups and "like" pages, it can be a valuable resource for professionals but know when it's time to refocus and reimagine who you are. You aren't the same person you were in high school...and for most of us, that's a great thing!

During my time at college, I found myself unhappy and unfulfilled. I despised my major and I wasn't a fan of my campus. This being my second college, I figured it must be that college itself wasn't for me, so I decided to drop out. I took a few months to experiment with careers that didn't require college degrees but my choice to leave school kept haunting me.
In the midst of my time away from higher education, I came across a Chicago Tribune article which detailed common misconceptions students have about college....and I realized right away that I was one of those students! Here are just a few points the Trib covered:
After realizing the true importance of a college education, I knew what I had to do. Recognizing that it was the location of my school and the major I had chosen that were bothering me, I spent my time off figuring out a major I want to immerse myself in and finding a university in a location I can't wait to live. I'll be returning to school in the fall!

College can sound very exciting with moving away from home and being on your own but who you live with can make or break your college experience.
Most colleges require freshmen to live in campus housing with roommates. Roommates can be chosen at random, via special requests or at college orientation. (Some schools, like Campbell, even have "Class of" or "Admitted Students" pages on Facebook and students can find their future roommates there.) I had a roommate selected at random and she moved out halfway through the semester but I knew this was a common situation: Sometimes students move out to room with a better friend or they change dorms because the new residence hall is closer to their classes and extracurricular activities.
How do you know if you have found the right roommate? Talk to them! Discuss what you both expect to do at college, your respective bedtimes and what you'll bring into the dorm. If you think the match is a good one, sign a roommate contract but if you don't think your living situation is going to work, try to make a room change sooner than later. Maybe you met someone in class or on your floor who is also having roommate issues, which makes a potential swap even easier.
If I could choose the best way to find a roommate, I would go the random route again and connect with them prior to move-in day. Most people I know on campus were paired with their roommates randomly and now consider each other good friends...but that may not be the case for everyone: It all depends on what type of person you are and if you can handle living with someone else. There is a perfect roommate for everyone!
So how did you find your roommate? Did it work out, were there issues or would you have change the way you were paired?

Every time I learn about a school shooting, I feel less safe at my university – my paranoia has become so severe that I won't study in the library because this location has been a target in several shootings – and I've often wondered what could be done to prevent incidents like this from occurring again. With the recent situation at UCF still fresh in our minds, let's discuss: Would allowing guns on campus make a difference? Some may think so while others are very much opposed.
Some state legislatures feel that allowing students to carry concealed firearms on campus will ease the worry of students like me. They say it's an extension of a person's constitutional right to protect oneself, yet higher education institutions that are in states that want students to be allowed to have a handgun do not agree with their lawmakers. (Texas and Kansas, for example, are two states whose lawmakers want to allow firearms on campus, while the schools within their borders want quite the opposite.) According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, there are 20 states that ban concealed weapons on campus, five states that allow concealed weapons at higher education institutions, 24 states that allow schools to set their own policies and several other campuses are debating whether or not to allow concealed firearms.
At the end of the day, people kill people, so I don't believe guns are the real issue. Let me know your views about guns on campus: Would you feel safer or less safe if your student body and faculty were allowed to carry handguns?

Recently, I read an article about whether or not Facebook was ruining the college experience. A huge benefit to going to college is having the chance to interact and socialize with people from diverse backgrounds but are students letting Facebook keep them from these advantages?
The article states that there is an increased level of "homophily" on campuses. Homophily equates to "birds of a feather flock together" – students are using Facebook to find roommates more like themselves rather than learning about someone with a different background and set of interests. It also allows people to keep so much more in touch with childhood friends and family that they cling to old ties instead of taking the risk to create new ones.
I agree that the problem isn't mainly Facebook but the students using it! When I graduated high school, I was so excited for my new college experience that I started a group on Facebook called "Jacksonville State University Class of 2014." At first, it was just me adding people I knew who were going but I also added my JSU recruiter; she added all of her recruits, they added people they knew and the group continued to grow. For the entire summer, I socialized with incoming freshmen about dorm placements, orientation dates and class schedules. By the time school started, I knew a VARIETY of amazing people on campus!
Facebook and other social sites are what you make them – do not allow them to keep you in the same place and hinder your chance to learn diversity and growth! Yes, it's smart to take caution when meeting new people but don't shy away from new experiences. Be open, get involved and don't be afraid of getting to know someone different...WITHOUT computer screens between you!

She serves as a resident assistant on campus, is the treasurer in the Public Relations Organization and is an active member in W.I.S.E., NAACP and Omicron Delta Kappa Honors Leadership Society. She aims to work in the entertainment industry post-graduation and is well on her way thanks to an internship with a digital marketer to several music artists. Chelsea strives to achieve all of her goals and motivate others along the way.

We all know that school is hard sometimes but life after graduation can be much harder if you do not do what's necessary to stand apart from the crowd. When graduating high school and entering college, you will find many opportunities to enter academic and social organizations, most of which will require application processes that ask about your involvement and leadership skills. Realizing you don't have much on your resume? No worries: You still have time.
First, find a club that interests you and join it. And don't just be a member – run for a position, ANY position. This shows leadership and adds an extra line on your resume while showing you have ambition and drive different from students who are just members. Another good way to build a resume is through volunteer work. Spending extra time doing community service is a great way to gain experience AND give back.
When it comes to building a resume in college, the small minimum wage jobs really do not count. After graduation, companies want to see what you have done to gain hands-on skills. Most degrees require students to do at least one internship; this usually takes place during junior year but don't be afraid to get a head start in your freshman or sophomore years...or both! Also, try joining academic and community service-based organizations – this will help to encounter great opportunities that you might not find on your own.
Remember that employers look beyond just good grades: They want to be able to see that you have put yourself out in other activities and can handle multiple responsibilities. If you spend your free time wisely and productively, you will definitely thank yourself later.

The academic year is winding down – before you know it, it will be finals week and time for semester grades! – and this is a critical time to decide if you want to drop a class or stick it out to the end. If you're on the fence about what to do, you must consider some critical points.
There are many reasons college students decide to drop classes and while some reasons are out of their hands, there are usually ways to fix the problems they may be having. Do not take the easy route without first considering the issue, weighing the consequences and seeing if there is a way to remedy the situation. Also, stay on track during the semester – keeping up with your assignments and responsibilities will prevent you from having to make this difficult decision later on.

Your time in college will include getting an education, making friends and enjoying your newfound freedom. Want to maximize all three of those aspects at the same time? Just take part in some of the fun campus events that colleges provide!
So why should you attend events on campus? You get to become more involved at your school and, if you're interested, even join the host committee. I am on the Homecoming/Spring Fling Committee and I had so much fun planning and working on its activities: Just this week, we welcomed "American Idol" winner Phillip Phillips to Campbell for a concert! Campbell also has a group on campus called the Campus Activity Board which organizes the most exciting events for students to attend. They recently held a campus-wide Easter egg hunt where students looked for eggs throughout the day to win prizes. Attending campus events may even give you a leg up academically: Depending on the event, professors may reward students with extra credit for their attendance. (We call these events "luncheon learns" at Campbell.)
My philosophy is to attend as many events and activities as possible because you're able to have fun with your friends, meet new people and sometimes obtain some free school swag. (I have so many Campbell free t-shirts just in my first year that I don't have to worry about buying more apparel from the bookstore!) Even the time leading up to the event is fun: For the Phillip Phillips concert, many students stood in line for tickets and the camaraderie we shared as we waited is one of my favorite college memories to date. We got great seats for this sold-out event, too!
Whether you're after a free t-shirt, extra credit, front row concert seats or a memorable experience, make sure to take advantage of all the events your campus has to offer. What events have you attended at your school?

Balancing relationships on campus can be a task. For new college students, the freedom can be quite overwhelming: Students are no longer under the microscope of their parents and can come and go and do as they please. As amazing as it sounds, however, it is key to remember the pros and cons of this autonomy.
Without an outside viewpoint, it is much easier to get caught up in detrimental relationships, both romantic and platonic. When you have so much access to another person, it becomes quite easy to take them for granted or vice versa. Sometimes you need a break from friends and groups to regain your own identity. This is ok. Always remember to make choices that are best for YOU. Are you in a parasitic friendship? Are they draining you and giving nothing in return? If the answer is yes, then you need to reevaluate the path of your friendship.
While friendships are important to keep healthy, the most dangerous relationships can be ones of the dating variety, as college-age students are the most at risk for domestic abuse relationships. Consider these statistics:
Open your eyes and see the signs of unhealthy relationships. Whether it's a friend or significant other, know when to separate yourself from situations that are not conducive to your educational experience and your health.

I am so excited to share with you a new resource I have found to add to our composer studies! I follow much of the curriculum from Ambleside and this term we are learning about the Austrian composer Franz Josef Haydn. Since one of my goals this year is to ensure I am focusing on the composer's music throughout the week, I've been looking for a way to integrate the music into my school day.
Grooveshark is a free music streaming site, where you can listen to your favorite music, put it on a playlist, and also listen to the playlists of friends. It might help to think of it in social media terms like Twitter or Facebook – only with music!
Using Grooveshark, I've created my own playlists of some of the composers we're studying in Ambleside. Last term I used a playlist of Bach; I've created playlists of Haydn for this term and of Tchaikovsky for next term.
Using this system, I can listen to single playlists throughout the day or put them on random shuffle, so we are listening to our composer of focus. It's been a wonderful resource for me because I am not shuffling cd's or digging through mp3 files. Instead, I simply can tune into my playlist online! It's been a great way to focus on single composer and has given us a chance to become familiar with the composer's songs throughout a six-week period of time. Not only that, but at the click of my mouse, we can revisit our last composer for review or enjoyment.
I hope this resource makes it easier for you and your children to groove to your chosen composer!
Try it out and feel free to leave your Grooveshark user name below so we can come check out your composer playlists and groove along with you!

If you come here on a clear day then there is not better place to get a beautiful view over the city.
3 Days in Krakow
One Day in Krakow
Museum Guide for Krakow
I travelled here using the excellent tram system that they have in Krakow.Tip.Buy a day ticket, its worth it and doesnt take long to get your moneys worth.The tram deposits you at a terminus and then its a slow steady walk up to the mound.On a warm sunny day,the walk is very pleasant.
On reaching the summit you get an...
To get a feel for the size and geography of the area, this is a must. It is a good walk from the centre of Krakow to the Mound however it is a beautiful one. If you cannot manage the walk, vehicular access is available so far up. There is a short ascent to the summit, upon payment - not...
We visited this beautiful place quite by chance on a cold January day and climbed the mound that was covered in snow. The whole area is surrounded by woods but the views of Kraków are amazing from the summit. The history of the mound and the story of the Polish hero Tadeus Kosciuszki is astonishing as the people of Kraków...
The place has history and the amazing view for Krakow if the weather is ok. Its nice to go there during the sunny day. Be careful going up the hill.
Took the tram (15 mins from Old Town) to Salwater, then walked up to the Mound, cost is not a lot, views are amazing, you can pick out two mounds, one being Krakus Mound (free) from here. There are four in total. well looked after.
I went here one day when it was pretty hot, from my hotel near Wawel, a good decent 45minute walk to the mount from there. The cost in is cheap, and worth it for the panoramic views all around the city. You can see the city centre and Wawel in the distance too. Ideal to get away from the town...
This is a symbolic mound dedicated to Polish national hero Tadeusz Kosciuszko (he's not interred there - the body reposes in a sarcophagus in Wawel Cathedral's crypt) raised by a collective effort of Krakow's citizens in the 1820s. If you're even remotely interested in Kosciuszko (and he's a fascinating historical figure, considered a United States hero as well), this is...
This is my second visit here. From Krakow centre, take Number 2 tram to Salwator, and then change to Number 100 bus which takes you to the mound. 1 bus per hour at 10 min past the hour
Journey time in total about 45 min.
The view across Krakow is sensational, a wax museum is also on site for no...
We got tram #2 west to Salwator, the end of the line, and then walked about 20-30 minutes along Al. Waszyngtona, past the cemetery (Cmentarz Na Salwatorze), and as far as the mound. As others have mentioned, there is a bus that goes that way, but we enjoyed walking through this leafy residential area. We nodded and smiled at joggers...

NEB releases revised List of Issues for SSRW Technical Proceeding

For immediate release

NEB releases revised List of Issues for SSRW Technical Proceeding
CALGARY - The National Energy Board (NEB or the Board) has released the revised List of Issues that will be important to examine in detail during the review of the Imperial Oil Resources Ventures Limited (IORVL) and Chevron Canada Limited (Chevron) proposals related to the Same Season Relief Well (SSRW) Policy.
On July 11, 2014, the NEB announced it would review separate proposals from IORVL and Chevron to determine if the proposals will meet the intended outcome of the NEB's SSRW Policy.
In the 2011 Review of Offshore Drilling in the Canadian Arctic, the Board re-affirmed its SSRW Policy. The intended outcome of the SSRW Policy is to minimize harmful impacts on the environment. An applicant wishing to depart from the NEB's SSRW Policy must demonstrate how they would meet or exceed the intended outcome of the policy.
The Board invited comments from the public on the List of Issues to be examined in the proceedings. The Board identifies a List of Issues in advance of a public process so that the applicant and potential participants know the general topics that will be examined. The Board accommodated an extension request by lengthening the comment period from three to five weeks, and received comments from a variety of organizations and interested persons.
The Board determined that the draft List of Issues was broad enough to capture most of the comments about what should be included. However, the Board did add the following topic to the List of Issues for both proposals: "How the tools and techniques proposed would address the challenges of the unique Arctic environment." For clarity, the Board also set out its expectations regarding the information that should be filed by IORVL and Chevron in their technical proposals to address the topics in the revised List of Issues.
The List of Issues and the decisions explaining how comments were considered can be found on the NEB's website project pages at www.neb-one.gc.ca/IORVLReview and www.neb-one.gc.ca/ChevronReview.
The Board has not yet determined the processes it will use for the SSRW technical proceedings. Future updates and announcements may be found on the NEB's website project pages.
The National Energy Board is an independent federal regulator of several parts of Canada's energy industry with the safety of Canadians and protection of the environment as its top priority. Its purpose is to regulate pipelines, energy development and trade in the Canadian public interest.

Basic Doll Dress Patterns
REDJENNRUSHJuly 4, 2002
If anyone out there would be so kind as to let me know where I can find a few free doll dress patterns for Barbies or other 11 1/2 inch dolls I would greatly appreciate it. Whenever I do a search, all I seem to find are crochet and knitted items. I want to design dresses myself but would like to have a pattern to base from, I do not plan on copying anyones work but need the pattern to use as a creation point to begin from as I do not have any experience in doll clothes. If you have a basic pattern and would be so kind as to send it to me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You in advance!!!!!!!

A Long Island man accused of secretly photographing models in a dressing room is facing new charges.
Robert Liguori is scheduled to be arraignment on two additional indictments on Wednesday.
He pleaded not guilty last month to charges of unlawful surveillance in connection with the July 12 incident. He allegedly placed a camera on a shelf pointed at the makeshift dressing area during a Southampton swimsuit show.
The Mastic Beach resident is being held in lieu of $25,000 cash bail.
The Suffolk County district attorney's office says more than five women were videotaped while changing clothes. The new indictments will be unsealed by Judge Barbara Khan and likely will involve the unlawful recording of more victims.
Prosecutors say Liguori is a registered sex offender convicted of trafficking in child pornography.

Thailand eyes peace talks with insurgents 'soon'
Published on Feb 27, 2013 1:48 PM
BANGKOK (AFP) - Thailand wants to hold peace talks with militant groups behind a festering insurgency in the south "soon", the head of the kingdom's highest security body said on Wednesday.
The comments come amid a recent spike in attacks in the Muslim-majority south bordering Malaysia and ahead of a meeting between Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and her Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak on Thursday.
The pair will discuss the nine-year insurgency, which has claimed more than 5,500 lives, and the possibility of Malaysia hosting talks with the militants.
"I hope that talks will happen soon," said Lieutenant-General Paradorn Pattanathabutr, secretary-general of Thailand's National Security Council (NSC), who will join Ms Yingluck in this week's talks in Kuala Lumpur.

Halfpenny backs Warburton for Lions skipper
ESPN Staff
March 25, 2013
Wales' Leigh Halfpenny poses with the Six Nations Player of the Championship silverware © Getty Images
Leigh Halfpenny has hailed the inspirational qualities of his Wales team-mate Sam Warburton and backed him to lead the British & Irish Lions to Australia later this year.
Warburton steered Wales to the 2011 Rugby World Cup semi-finals and a Grand Slam in the 2012 Six Nations but a shoulder injury saw the captaincy pass to Ryan Jones and the Gethin Jenkins during this year's battle for northern hemisphere supremacy. Warburton turned down the chance to reclaim the honour on his return to the side but Halfpenny has revealed he still took a leading role both on and off the field to help propel Wales to a stunning 30-3 victory over England in their title-decider in Cardiff earlier this month.
Halfpenny, who was named the Six Nations Player of the Championship last week and is a hot favourite to claim a place in the Lions squad announced on April 30, has offered a fascinating insight into a pivotal half-time rallying call, when the hosts held a narrow 9-3 lead, that he believes showcases Warburton's leadership qualities.
"Gethin spoke first and then Sam spoke up and asked how much did we want to win it more than England," Halfpenny told The Daily Telegraph. "He told us that whenever we were shattered or felt like we didn't have anything left to give, just to think of that feeling of us lifting the trophy again.
"They were incredible words and inspired us all. He wasn't captain for that day but as soon as he spoke up I thought about his words during the second half. There were times in that second half when I was really blowing but I kept thinking about what it would mean to lift the trophy again and how I would feel and every single player had their best game of the championship."
He added: "Sam is a fantastic player and a fantastic leader. He is not a man of many words so when he does speak, like he did at half-time in the England game, it is full of raw passion and from the heart. He means every single word and is a really inspiring captain.
"You know that every time he sets foot on the field he is going to give 100 per cent. He puts his body on the line game after game and he would be an incredible captain." Listening to Halfpenny recall the game and its aftermath, it is hard not to be left with the impression he is the kind of player that any captain would love to lead.
