Merry Christmas! I approve of having Christmas on a Tuesday, as it means that you basically have a three-day weekend to get all that last minute shopping done. If there was a way to keep Christmas on a Tuesday every year, I'd fully support that measure. We move Thanksgiving around the calendar to preserve the four-day weekend, so I don't know why we can't just get this done.
Consider this an open thread. What are you doing for the holidays? I'm going to see "Django Unchained" and then having dinner with some folks. There are presents and sticking bows on cat heads in my future. I'm also trying to get some reading done with all this downtime, though often I have more ambition than time when it comes to that. Share your plans in this thread!

A simple but convincing fusion dish, crispy spring rolls that are baked, not fried, and served with a spicy, nutty dipping sauce. White button mushrooms are perfectly fine here.
Put the 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they give up their liquid. Add the ginger and garlic, along with salt and pepper to taste, and cook until the mixture is quite dry. Stir in the scallions and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush 12 squares of phyllo lightly with oil and place the remaining phyllo on top of them. With a point of each square facing you, spoon a heaping tablespoon of the mushroom mixture across the center of each square, making a 4-inch-long log from left to right. Fold over the left and right of each square so that they overlap in the middle. Brush a bit of oil over the top half of the wrapper. Fold the bottom half up, then roll up tightly; the oil will seal the spring roll. As each of the rolls is done, place it on a lightly oiled baking pan. (You can prepare the spring rolls in advance up to this point; refrigerate, well wrapped or in a covered container, for up to 2 hours before proceeding.)
Bake the spring rolls for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and hot.
While they are baking, make the dipping sauce: Combine the peanuts, chile, and sugar in a small skillet over medium-high heat and cook, tossing and stirring, until the mixture is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk and stir, then cook until reduced by about one-third and thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice and remove from the heat.
Serve the spring rolls hot, with the warm dipping sauce.

Huge stash of illegal cigarettes seized in raid
Updated 2:38pm Tuesday 15th April 2014 in News
THOUSANDS of illegal cigarettes were seized and 19 roadside stop checks made during a week long campaign to tackle rogue traders.
Three properties in St Helens were searched and the huge stash of blackmarket cigarettes were discovered in one after being "sniffed out" by specially trained dogs.
The Star has reported previously concerns that children become addicted to smoking because they get cheap access to cigarettes sold illegally, with figures suggesting 80per cent of smokers are addicted before they turn 18.
St Helens Council's Trading Standards joined forces with Merseyside Police on the rogue trader operation.
Rogue traders are individuals or groups who cold-call householders, often targeting vulnerable residents, claiming to be a legitimate business.
They charge excessive fees for building or gardening, yet the work is either sub-standard or not carried out at all.
The week of action resulted in 19 groups being spoken to and advised of how to operate within the law.
Darrell Wilson, chief trading standards officer, said: "Offenders can be both plausible and intimidating in order to convince their victims to part with cash for overpriced and shoddy work.
"Trading Standards advice is to always say 'no' to any traders offering to carry out work who unexpectedly turn up on your doorstep."

Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin will not play this weekend, but is hopeful that he can return from his hamstring by next weeks contest against the St. Louis Rams. Austin is not going to practice this week and Jason Garrett insists that they won't rush him back to action, but the Cowboys hope he will be able to get some game time by the third preseason game.
Fantasy Implications: Austin missed six games last year with hamstring injuries and they have lingered into the beginning of this season. He got off to a very hot start last year, catching 21 passes for 307 yards and 4 touchdowns over the first three games, but did not top 5 catches or 70 yards in any of the next seven games that he played. When he's healthy, Austin can be a number one fantasy wideout, but he has struggled to remain on the field recently which is part of the reason that Dallas is being constantly linked to any free agent wide receiver that comes on the market.

You know it's a slow news day when, as noted in this FanPost, Ryan Braun's new clothing line is your top story. Perhaps those of us who suggested a certain blogger launch a fashion blog were right on the money.
Every spring about this time hitters start facing live pitching, and we get the first "(Pitcher) has nasty stuff" stories of spring. Would you have guessed that pitcher in Brewers camp would be R.J. Swindle? If you really can get awkward swings and misses while throwing 55, I may have a big league career after all.
Of course, this transition to hitting off of actual pitchers is long overdue, because hitters are ahead of the coaches at this stage of spring training.
I had promised myself today would be the day I stopped talking about Eric Gagne, so of course today is the day he made news three different ways:
- He withdrew from the World Baseball Classic.
- He had lasik surgery over the offseason, ending the need for goggles.
- He's a few days behind the other pitchers and may need a couple of extra days before pitching in his first spring game.
Perhaps Ken Macha isn't singling out Jason Kendall, but it's starting to feel like it: a few days after saying he'll reduce Kendall's playing time in 2009, he announced he's also controlling the running game from the bench. This would be different if Kendall was struggling with it, but Kendall seemed to handle it pretty well in 2008.
Yesterday was picture day in Brewer camp. Click the link for a list of pictures I found, then check the comments for a link to the whole gallery.
I cringed when I started reading it, but based on Two-Fisted Slopper's recap, it sounds like Cecil Fielder's appearance on the MLB Network last night went off without any father-son chicanery. Slopper's post also has some great screenshots of a 12-year-old Prince.
On the transaction wire:
Braves: Signed Tom Glavine to a one year deal worth $1 million plus incentives.
Indians: Acquired Juan Salas from the Rays and designated third baseman Andy Marte for assignment. (h/t FanShots)
Padres: Are reportedly close to a deal with Mexican pitcher Walter Silva.
Royals: Claimed Tug Hulett off waivers from the Mariners.
Regardless of how bad Ned Yost was or how bad Ken Macha may be, we can always take comfort in knowing they're not Dusty Baker. Today, Baker had this to say on Edinson Volquez and his plans for 2009:
I've seen Greg Maddux throw 150 pitches early in his career."
Some days I come across stories that aren't really Brewer related, but just demonstrate how a really good sports writer can make a mundane topic interesting. Here are two from today: Royals beat writer Sam Mellinger on visa issues, and Nationals beat writer Chico Harlan on the weather in Florida.
Of course, sometimes good beat writers are not well rewarded: Tim Hudson blamed Braves beat writer David O'Brien for the team's failure to sign Ken Griffey, and the two had to be separated in the Braves clubhouse yesterday.
Speaking of Griffey, I've seen notes around the web suggesting the signing was a bad decision, a useless piece added to a rebuilding team, but it's already paying for itself. The Mariners sold 16,000 extra tickets yesterday. Assuming my baseline of 1 ticket sold = $50 for the team (after factoring in parking, food, merchandise, etc), the Mariners made $800,000 off of Griffey yesterday alone.
From the "too much information" file: Jose Guillen, facing surgery to remove an ingrown toenail, got a tweezers and did the job himself. Don't try that one at home.
So how much does lineup position impact RBI opportunities? Perhaps not as much as you'd think. Research suggests one thing we all expected: Players who hit in the first and second spot get a decreased opportunity to drive in runs. But, on the flip side, players batting anywhere between third and eighth all have nearly identical opportunities.
Oh, and I'd like to join Royals Review in increasing the use of the word "pleonasm."
Drink up.

The birthstone for April is the diamond. If you were lucky enough to be born in April, than the diamond is your birthstone, so maybe you would like to know more about it. We know now that diamonds are one of the strongest substances that there is, almost impossible to break or cut. That thought however, is not just one of a scientific era. The ancient Greeks believed diamonds to be strong as well. Even without our technology and sciences they called this stone diamond because of roots in the word for invincible. While most people often think of diamonds as being completely clear they do come in a wide range of colors in fact. They can be clear, black yellow, green, red, blue, pink, purple or orange. Some colors are more prevalent than others due to the impurities in the stone. Clear stones are pure carbon but to make the different colors different substances must also be present during formation.
It is believed by some that wearing a diamond will improve your relationships along with building inner strength. Balance, abundance and clarity are also said to be brought by these gems. In ancient times diamonds were thought to be the creation of pure lightning while others thought they were the tears of God. No matter the culture or the time periods, diamonds have always been, and even to this day are, considered precious and special. So those of you with an April birthday, consider yourselves both precious and special as well.

This time I will recap what we've been doing lately. First of all, we've got our hands full of new productions and projects. I cannot share all the details yet but this week we received the Chinese and Russian translations of the Moomin and the Lost Belongings. Now we're waiting for the narration in those two languages. It will be very exciting when we get the sound files and hear our Moomin story in Chinese and in Russian for the first time!
In addition to language versions, there's also a third Moomin app coming from us this year. And we won't stop there! Actually, we would love to hear your ideas on what kind of Moomin apps you would like to spend your time with. Naturally the Moomins and the Heavysaurus aren't the only brands we're working on. I'm dying to tell you who are the new children's book characters that are making a jump from picture books into interactive storybooks but you have to wait a bit longer. Any wild guesses?
Book apps aren't the only thing we do here. We're in the Finnish Red Cross Blood Service corporate program. They have a donor center two floors down from our office, so once in a while our employees go there to donate some blood. I was there only two weeks ago. We're also playing floorball with the IT company next door in mixed teams. Those have been pretty intense games but we can still have shared coffee breaks together.
Christmas is getting closer but we're not thinking about that yet. First we have to throw our Christmas party. That's why we're going to spend a long weekend at Levi ski resort in December. We will also have there meetings with the good people of WSOY publishing house and Sami and Riina Kaarla who illustrated and wrote the Moomin and the Lost Belongings. In those meetings we will talk about the upcoming Moomin apps. The same Moomin apps we would love to hear your ideas on.
And no, we don't have typical days at Spinfy. As we speak I hear loud hip hop music from our R&D and I have no idea what's going on in there.

ISLAMABAD: If NAB investigations are to be believed, two of the five Rental Power Projects (RPPs) caused the national exchequer a loss of only Rs51.78 million. However, some NAB officials and other critics reject the figure as 'peanuts'.
According to the National Accountability Bureau, the small amount had sent a legislator of PML-N and another of PML-Q running to the Supreme Court which has since been huffing and puffing over the loss of billions of rupees.
Former deputy prosecutor general of NAB Khawaja Azhar Rashid and some others have described the Rs51m figure as "peanuts" and point out that if the amount is paid back by the 54 accused in the RPP case each of them would have to pay less than Rs1m.
NAB officials claim that the measly estimate is the result of deliberately flawed investigations.
The estimate was made in two investigation reports completed by NAB and submitted to the court last month.
According to reports, the 54 accused -- including Prime Minister Raja Parvez Ashraf -- have caused losses of Rs31.03m and Rs20.43m by granting permission to the RPPs in Piranghaib, Multan, and Sahuwal, Sialkot, respectively.
According to NAB sources, three more investigation reports are in the pipeline, which will contain similar estimates of losses.
They claim that the low estimates are being deliberately projected to provide the accused an easy exit route.
NAB rules allow people accused under the bureau's ordinance to pay back the amount lost or embezzled or a part of it and win an acquittal.
The SC ordered NAB to prepare references in the RPPs scam case and the bureau assigned three officials to investigate the cases of the five RPPs.
Such references or investigation reports are documents on the basis of which NAB prosecutes accused in accountability courts.
Asgher Khan was assigned the investigation into Multan RPP involving Techno E. Power (TEP) and Sialkot RPP involving Pakistan Power Resources (PPR).
Kamran Faisal, whose mysterious death has added heat to the RPP case, was investigating into the power projects at Gaddu and Naudero. Investigation into the fifth RPP, Naudero II, has been assigned to another official.
According to the sources, the investigation report about the Multan and Sialkot projects has missed important points.
According to the report, in June 2009 US$11.5 million were initially approved to the TEP and US$14.5 million to the PPR as advance at the rate of 7 per cent of the project cost. But, the rate of advance payment was increased to 14 percent in August.
After the court intervened and ordered the companies to return the amount paid in advance, both the RPPs refunded the amount. But, sources claim that the power companies which had undertaken the projects evaded penalties.
They said that under the contract for generating electricity the RPPs had to start production within three months after receiving the advance payment. In case of failure they were bound to pay $286 per day to the government.
In the settlement agreement, the private firms and the power companies deliberately ignored the condition and the investigators also did not include it in their findings, they claimed.
The sources said the settlement between the power companies and the private firms for the recovery of the advance payment was also made in violation of the NAB ordinance.
"Rules allow recovery only through voluntary return or plea bargain involving NAB but the RPPs returned the amount to the government after directly negotiating and signing agreements with state-owned power companies like the GENCO," they said.
Had the rules been followed, they said, the agreement should have been negotiated and signed with NAB. Instead the money went to Wapda via its power generation companies.
The NAB report highlights and says that on Sept 14, 2010, the ministry of water and power allowed the RPPs to sign off the agreement "on mutually acceptable conditions between the Central Power Generation Company Limited and the sponsors".
However, the report does not say that it is a violation of the rules and neither does it point out that the sidelining of NAB may have led to return of only a small amount.
Khawaja Mohammad Asif, a PML-N legislator and one of the petitioners in RPPs case, said that the real loss could be assessed only if the original RPP deal and the settlement between the RPPs and Wapda had been audited by renowned audit firms.
He said the court should also take up this issue because the NAB investigators were working under pressure of senior officials who did not want to prosecute the accused.
Raja Amir Abbas, the counsel of the NAB investigation team, said the bureau had submitted its findings to the apex court which would take notice of any flaws in the report.
He said the trial court would also detect flaws when the RPP case came in the Accountability Court.

The BYU Cougars and the Utah Utes had an absolutely wild finish that has to be revisited from last night. BYU was down three and pinned inside their own 20. But then Riley Nelson found Cody Hoffman wide open downfield on 4th-and-11 for 46 yards, setting up a long field goal attempt to try and send the game into overtime.
Here are the full video highlights of the frenetic final few seconds (with a bonus botched Utah punt that brought BYU back into it before that bizarre final drive).
However, BYU tried to attempt one more throw with time running down, and it looked as if time expired. Cue the Utah student Section, who didn't waste any time rushing the field. And they did so with a crib!
The referees would review the clock though, and it turned out the football ended up hitting the ground with one second left. So BYU then tried a field goal, and the Utes then blocked the kick. Unfortunately, the student section thought the play was dead the moment the kick was blocked, and rushed onto the field from the sidelines where they had been waiting for the final play to end.
Naturally, the Utah fans invading the field invited a 15 yard penalty, and set up a more makeable kick. So BYU was definitely going to take advantage of a third chance at life right?
DOINK! Gotta love the premature BYU holder celebration too.

Workington Calendar Girls strip off to take to the stage
Last updated at 13:30, Friday, 23 November 2012
Meet Workington's very own Calendar Girls, stripped and ready for theatrical action.
The six will shed their clothes in Workington Playgoers' adaptation of Calendar Girls at the town's Theatre Royal from Tuesday, December 4, to Sunday, December 9, to raise money for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.
Pam Armstrong, Grace Walker, Charlie Douglas-Brown, Sarah Delorme, Nicola Woodier and Fran Smith will take on the roles made famous by Helen Mirren, Julie Walters and others in the film of the same name.
The play is based on the real-life story of 11 women of Rylstone Women's Institute, North Yorkshire, who stripped off for a calendar to raise money for the leukaemia charity.
Workington Playgoers will make a donation from proceeds of the production.
Performances begin at 7.30pm Tuesday to Saturday and there will be a matinee on the Sunday at 2.30pm.
Tickets cost £8, and £7 for concessions, from the box office on 01900 602122.

Oladipo an Overrated Defender?
Interesting article from Vantage Sports that calls into question Oladipo's defensive chops. Compared to other top 2013 wing prospects, Victor posted a higher foul rate and allowed more points per shot than guys like McLemore, Porter, and (gulp) Shabazz. The conclusion: Oladipo is a long ways away from being a dominant NBA defensive presence. Discuss.

Organic Wines
By Andrew Nelson
My wine opener bites into the cork of the Cabernet I've bought to share with a group of friends, and I ease it out with a satisfying pop. After pouring a shimmering splash into each extended glass, I watch as everyone swirls it, breathing in its deep cassis fragrance. My guests are here to weigh in on a category of wines I didn't know existed until recently. Every one of the wines I've gathered for our informal tasting is made from organic grapes with no added sulfites, and the unexpected labels create a stir.
"Who cares if the stuff's organic," somebody cracks. "Can it still save me from the Brie?"
Everyone gets the joke. There's growing evidence that moderate consumption of alcohol can enhance a healthy lifestyle; for instance, the phenolic compounds and antioxidants in wine appear to protect against ills such as heart disease, diabetes, and gallstones. "It's pretty clear," says Marcella Newhouse, an epidemiologist at Vermont's Department of Health, "that one to two glasses a day of any sort of wine is good for people." But that brings up an interesting question. If drinking a glass of wine every night with dinner is good for your health, is drinking organic wine even better?
The logic seems irrefutable. Organic wine is grown without pesticides and harmful chemicals, and it's bottled with no added sulfites. In fact, going organic would also seem to get environmental Brownie points because it helps support sustainable, chemical-free farming practices in winegrowing regions.
And then there's the question on the minds of the guests at my party: Does choosing organic wine for health and environmental reasons mean compromising on flavor? I finish pouring the last drop of the organic Cabernet and turn to my hand-picked jury. "So," I ask, "is it any good?"
Current trends suggest the answers to all these questions are yes. No figures exist to chart the growth of organic wines in this country. But anecdotal evidence suggests that after a slow start in the 1990s, when efforts to market organic wines fell flat, there's been a major turnaround. In California, the source for 90 percent of domestic wines, the number of grape growers registered last year with the state as organic tripled from only five years ago. Many organic growers hail from California's Anderson Valley and Mendocino County regions, already noted centers for organic produce. France is another big source, but wines made with organically grown grapes are being cultivated around the globe. Marc Jonna, national wine buyer for Whole Foods, counts four Argentine organics among his bestsellers.
Michel Ginoulhac, a buyer for the San Francisco-based Organic Wine Company, tells me he shipped 30 percent more cases of organic wine last year than the year before. "Organic wine's becoming a real cool thing," Jonna says.
Prior to World War II, the American wine industry was primarily composed of small, family-run vineyards. But after wine titans—namely the Gallos and Mond...

Have you ever seen a QB crush a defensive player like that? He hits like a freaking Linebacker! I don't care if h e is the next Dan Marino or John Elway, if he can hit people like this, I want him!
It's not often you get the size of Ben Rothlisberger and throwing ability Dan Marino in one player. Then add in a linebacker's attitude, an you've got a keeper, baby. To be honest, I wasn't sold on Luck until I saw this clip. I just haven't seen enough of him, but after watching this, I am convinced...
Andrew Luck epitomzes what I want the Panthers organization to be. Hard nosed, smart, and downright men! If I could play Jon Beason at every position I would. Having Luck as QB is like putting Beason behind the center with the skills of a top notch QB.
As for me...I'm sold!
Sorry, Jimmy. You might get another chance to play, but if the Panthers draft Luck, it won't be as a Panther.

Announcing the winners of the 'Big Data World' free passes
Last week I announced details of the upcoming Big Data World, Europe conference taking place in London on 19th and 20th September, an event I'll be speaking at.
At the time I said I would do a prize draw for a lucky reader to win a free pass to the full event. Subsequently, one became two and I now have two free passes to give away.
Entry for this contest closed yesterday and in the last few minutes (in front of no independent witnesses whatsoever) I did the draw, using an extremely sophisticated randomising tool that I believe was developed by some rogue scientists at CERN.
Watch the video below to see the two names (flashing in red) who won the passes…
There were twenty names entered in to the prize draw. The device used was completely random and after the first name was drawn this was removed from the running of the second random draw.
Congratulations to the winners, who I will be in touch with separately, and commiserations to the losers (sorry, I can't sugar coat your status).

Although it isn't yet available for business pages, Facebook's new graphical user interface for personal profiles offers entrepreneurs a chance to explore the creative possibilities for personal branding as a business owner. The interface, called Timeline, features a large banner image with an inset portrait and organizes content in historical, story-telling fashion. This gives small-business owners new options for crafting "a personal brand," says Dan Schawbel, author of Me 2.0: 4 Steps to Building Your Future and founder of Millennial Branding in Boston.
Although switching to Timeline is not yet an option for fan pages on Facebook — i.e., the pages that allow users to "like" organizations and businesses — Schawbel predicts they'll soon look the same. "There's no reason why [personal profiles] and business pages should have a different look and feel," he says.
Timeline's chronological organization of posts will change the way branding is perceived on Facebook, a fact that many of the site's users have yet to understand, Schawbel says. "It's so new, and they're just trying to get their hands around it right now." But the new format offers more branding opportunities and greater ease in forming collaborative relationships. "I think more and more people will figure out how best to equip their profile so it makes them look really good and attractive — not just to sell, but to recruit people to work for the company, and to form partnerships."
During the wait for the eventual roll out of Timeline for business pages, he advises small-business owners to craft a targeted approach using their existing personal Facebook connections. "Get a sense of the people who would most benefit from what you're selling. When you look at a [prospect's] Timeline and you can see what they're interested in, you can comment on relevant status updates, where you don't sell immediately, but you come up there as a resource. And, you build those relationships over time, through commenting and interacting with different individuals." Later, you can seize opportunities to assist a potential customer, because you stayed engaged with the target audience, he says.
When Timeline becomes available for business pages, Schawbel advises small-business owners to get creative with the larger banner, using it to showcase employees or to highlight a milestone in the business's history. Businesses should also have more room in the information section to talk about their mission, vision, and brand, he says.
Timeline hasn't changed one fact: Neglecting to create new content, friend others, and cultivate fans inevitably leads to disappointing results in marketing your brand. "The more you respond to people commenting, the more time your posts will be on their news feed, and you'll be seen, and that's how you really build a community," he says. "You've got to put a lot of energy into it if you want to be seen."
If you plan to use your personal profile to woo customers, you'll want to wade through Facebook's sea of privacy settings, to make sure they're only seeing the professional you. Schawbel is not alone in describing Facebook's privacy scheme as "the most confusing settings I've ever seen." He notes that many users don't realize they can control how different viewers' — family, friends, or everyone — access to content." Mary Kay Hoal, founder and president of Yoursphere Media in Sacramento, Calif., posted this helpful guide to the Facebook Timeline privacy settings.

Freelance Photographer Seeks to Upgrade Equipment, Gain Notoriety in the Photography Biz
I've been doing freelance portrait photography for quite a while, and am curious about boosting my camera equipment so I can get more serious. I've been shooting with a Nikon D3100, with two lenses (the kit 18-55, and 55-200mm). Not only is it very frustrating having to switch lenses when I need to zoom at all, I feel like I constantly need to clean dust out the body when I'm finished for having it exposed for the couple seconds it takes to switch. I definitely want to invest in the 18-200mm lens, but I'm curious about switching bodies.
I'm really comfortable with Nikon, so I might want to stay with them. What's the pros of Canon over Nikon? I'm thinking about going to the D5100, because it has in camera HDR, external mic input for video (which I've been doing a lot more of) and higher ISO levels with less noise.
What do you guys think? Is it worth the trouble to upgrade from the d3100 to 5100, or from Nikon to Canon? I see this becoming my career because I'm going to school for graphic design and photography, but I don't have a lot of cash on hand. I'd want to upgrade by selling my equipment and purchasing new equipment for not much more.
I also want to get my hands on a softbox, for indoor shoots. I've been relying on natural light most of the time. Is a soft box a good starting point for indoor photography?
Thanks for reading my first Verge post!

Creating Fun for Your Tween's Summer
No more school! No more books! Kids are full of ideas for fun the day school lets out, but too soon, your child is mouthing those dreaded words: "There's nothing to do." This year, don't worry. Choose from our boredom busters, and watch with satisfaction as your child's summer sizzles.
Scout It Out
Fourteen-year-old Ashley Willoughby of Park City, Utah, has participated in the same Girl Scout troop since age 12, and she recommends summers with the scouts. "Our meetings are really fun in the summer because we don't have to worry about homework," she says. "We can spend more time hanging out, doing fun stuff and learning new things. Last summer, her troop especially enjoyed a mini-class on photography presented by the troop leader's father. After the class, the girls snapped outdoor photos, took the film to a one-hour lab and then had fun critiquing their work.
In addition to helping your son or daughter build lasting friendships and life skills, scouts offer summer camps and other summer youth programs. To find a local scout troop for your child, call one of the 600 offices in the USA or visit Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts online.
If you'd like to start your own troop, the Web sites offer helpful information. Ideas for recruiting kids include mailing flyers to your child's friends and classmates or posting a notice in local libraries and stores.
Get a Job!
All children crave extra spending money in the summer. Why not let your young entrepreneur get a jump-start on learning about finances and responsibility? He'll equate work with fun if he's doing something enjoyable or performing tasks that he feels are worthwhile.
"Sit down with your child and talk about his or her likes and dislikes to find an idea for a business, or look around and spot a need in your community," says 18-year-old Michael Stahl, CEO of Careers4Teens.com. He adds that the possibilities for young earners are only limited by imagination.
Recently, middle-schoolers in Park City, Utah, distributed flyers advertising their "Super Pooper-Scoopers" business. The kids offered to scoop up doggie droppings for $8 per week, and they found people couldn't sign up fast enough.
Another popular job idea for tweens is a weeding/yard care business. Twelve-year-old Sam Jordan of Aspen, Colo., is planning to pull weeds for the third year. "Last year I saved up my money from weeding and bought a snowboard," he says.
Other ideas for tween businesses include: a pet care or plant-watering service for families on vacations or baby-sitting while a parent is home, freeing up time for moms to enjoy a book in the sunshine or return phone calls without interruptions.
Cooking Kids
Kids find cooking is all fun and no work if recipes are easy and delicious, says Gwen McKee, the author of 43 cookbooks.
McKee says up-and-coming chefs need to be organized and prepared. "There is nothing worse than beginning a recipe and then finding out you don't have one of the ingredients," she says. It helps to have the ingredients out before your child begins cooking. If McKee's grandkids require cooking help, she dubs them "the chefs" and calls herself the "seu chef," declaring she's their helper.
It's not difficult to make cooking special for your child this summer. Your tween can prepare a surprise treat for a grandparent, other relatives or for a friend's family. Other ideas include helping your child set up a lemonade and homemade cookie stand or encouraging your tween to cook something special for a bake sale fundraiser.
Use your imagination to make everyday cooking fun for your child. McKee likes to help her grandchildren make "silly shape" pancakes, and to keep things fair, she pours and flips pancakes with her left hand when it's her turn at the griddle. "I do it slowly, realizing a little bit of the kids' unsteadiness," she says. "And when I mess up, they laugh and laugh. Practice makes prefect for all of us!"
McKee recommends the recipes below (bursting with both male and female tween-appeal) from her Recipe Hall of Fame Quick and Easy Cookbook:
Puppy Chow
- 1 (12-ounce) bag chocolate chips
- 1 (12.3 ounce) box Crispix cereal
- 1 stick margarine
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Melt chips, margarine and peanut butter in microwave for one and a half minutes. Remove and stir. Mix with cereal until cereal is well coated. Put powdered sugar in large brown bag. Add mixture and shake until coated.
Wisconsin's Best – Wisconsin
Dump Brownies
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 cup oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 eggs
- 1 (6-ounce) package chocolate chips
Dump all ingredients, except chips, in a mixing bowl. Mix well until blended. Pour into a greased 9x13-inch pan. Top with chocolate chips. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

Campy Fun
Many cities offer summer camps, but finding the right camp for tweens can be difficult. "As kids get into that Tween age, it's so much more difficult to find cool stuff for them to do," says Mary Lane Vasquez of Sunnydale, Calif., mom to 10-year-old Megan. "In some ways, my daughter is a little kid, and in others, she's beyond her years. Meagan is bummed because she wants to be in the 11- to 14-year-old age group at the rec center camp, but she's only 10 and has to go with the 6- to 10-year-olds."
Fortunately with a little research, it's possible to find a fun camp for your tween. After weighing camp choices for her daughter, Vasquez decided to enroll Meagan in the Peninsula Youth Theatre Group. "Meagan's excited because the kids actually rehearse and perform plays in the park," she says.
Outstanding tween camps share several traits. "Look for very hands-on, interactive camps for preteens," says Claire Turner, director of youth education at University of Utah. "Kids 9 to 12 want something interesting that they don't do in school and activities that creatively teach them about the world of work." The claymation and filmmaking camps are among the University of Utah's most popular preteen offerings.
Turner also recommends seeking a camp that matches your child's top interests. Maybe your tween would like a sports-oriented camp, an art camp that focuses on horses or a gourmet cook-and-eat class.
"The best camps offer a lot of summer fun but incorporate learning as well," Turner says. For instance, in the University of Utah's "Club Splash," tweens splash in pools, but they also learn diving, marine sculpture and water science.
"We spend a lot of time planning our camps and love it when kids go home and say 'Wow!' to their parents," she says. To find a "Wow!" camp for your child, call or e-mail your local schools, libraries and youth recreation centers.
Time out for Play
Kim Francis of Wheeling, W.Va., mom to 11-year-old Taylor, cautions parents not to go overboard in planning summer projects. During the school break, her daughter will attend craft classes and day camps and then just hang out. "Kids need time to be kids – time to ride their bikes, hang out at the pool, be with their friends," Francis says. "They spend nine months in a planned, rigid environment. Let summer be their time to be free."
Shannon Tilley of Gilbert, Ariz., agrees. "My kids have basketball, volleyball or swimming in the morning, and then I teach them 'home' activities, such as cooking, cleaning or yard work in the afternoons," says this mother of six. Her kids understand that they need to help Mom with the everyday work, because she's busy driving them around in the mornings.
Fridays are special for the Tilleys; the kids who have finished their work can have the day off, and they find this far from boring! The Tilley kids spend Fridays playing video games, relaxing and "doing nothing" or going camping in the mountains and visiting a lake.
Whether your tween would enjoy swimming lessons, camp, cooking or starting a new business, round out playtime this summer with a few boredom busters. After all, carefree kids equal happy moms.

Following last night's "Carnage" Premiere, Kate Winslet hit the red carpet again for the "Mildred Pierce" Venice Film Festival Premiere wearing yet another British designer.
This time she wore a Stella McCartney stretch cotton dress from the Fall 2011 collection.
Her black, beige and white stretch cotton dress contours her gorgeous curves in the best possible way.
I love that she loves her body and how the black panel cleverly gives her a tiny waist.
Her confidence is what I find most attractive in this picture.
She's absolutely radiant.
Black YSL Palais suede peep-toe pumps and a low bun completed her look.
This wouldn't be my first choice, but boy is she working it.
Which look do you prefer?
Stella McCartney or Victoria Beckham?

"I'm worried about Pete Sell. I sent him to the hospital to get an MRI.... As you've heard me so many times -- especially in the last few weeks -- and wait until The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) comes out to talk to me about judging and officiating in this sport right now. It drives me crazy because it's such a personal thing. These guys train so hard and those two kids [Aaron Riley and Shane Nelson] have been in camp for six to eight weeks, training, and then they fly out here to fight and it gets stopped like that. People make mistakes all the time, but that was a bad one. I was unhappy with the Pete Sell fight tonight, too. Yves LaVigne is actually usually a very good referee. I'm serious -- I'm not even kidding -- I hurt my arm tonight banging on the Octagon for him to stop that fight. I've never done that in eight years. I don't even know what to say. It drives me crazy."
-- A fired up Dana White talks about referees and judges in the wake of UFC 96: "Jackson vs. Jardine." The company president was very upset that Yves LaVigne did not stop Matt Brown from assaulting Pete Sell sooner and Rick Fike from not letting Aaron Riley defend himself longer against Shane Nelson. He also foreshadows that we can expect more of the same on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), which is set to debut on April 1. Joy.

If it weren't for sequels, there would hardly be any comedies in theaters in 2013 - or so it appears. And just glancing through this list of the 2013 comedy movies, it seems we might have a really difficult time putting together a Top 10 Best Comedies list when the end of the year rolls around.
Without further ado, here are the major comedy movies hitting theaters this year listed in alphabetical order.
1. '21 and Over'
Starring: Miles Teller, Skylar Astin, and Justin Chon
The Plot: Straight-A college student Jeff Chang has always done what's expected of him. But when his two best friends Casey and Miller surprise him with a visit for his 21st birthday, he decides to do the unexpected for a change, even though his critical medical school interview is early the next morning. What was supposed to be one beer becomes one night of chaos, over indulgence and utter debauchery in this outrageous comedy.
Release Date: March 1, 2013
2. 'About Time'
Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, Tom Hollander, and Margot Robbie
The Plot: At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Gleeson) discovers he can travel in time...
The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim's father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can't change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life—so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think.
Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he's never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again—and again—but finally, after a lot of cunning time-traveling, he wins her heart.
Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches, to save his best friend from professional disaster and to get his pregnant wife to the hospital in time for the birth of their daughter, despite a nasty traffic jam outside Abbey Road.
But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can't save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous too. About Time is a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need time travel at all.

Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted – but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having. By turns hilarious and heartwarming, Portia is an unforgettable screen heroine.

Prairie Seeds Academy of Brooklyn Park will remain disqualified from the Minnesota State Class A boys' soccer tournament.
A Hennepin County judge on Friday denied a motion for a temporary restraining order that would have temporarily prevented the Minnesota State High School League's disqualification of Prairie Seeds for using an ineligible player.
On Wednesday, the MSHSL ruled the team would forfeit its semifinal victory against Totino-Grace, along with all honors associated with the game. Officials began reviewing the match after a brawl broke out on the field, leading to ten suspensions between both schools and other penalties for the players involved.
But it wasn't the fight that got one of the state's best soccer teams bumped from the playoffs. During the investigation, officials found the school had never completed online transfer forms for a student who had been playing all year. Under the league bylaws, that means the player was ineligible to be on the team.
"It's unfortunate any time students are not allowed to participate," said MSHSL executive director Dave Stead, following Judge Jay Quam's ruling. "The decision upholds the integrity of the league's bylaws."
Before the disqualification, Prairie Seeds was planning to play Duluth Marshall in Roseville. The Marshall team remained in a holding pattern, prepared to play, until the judge's ruling came down.

Asbestos News
UK town introduces new asbestos disposal regulationsNew asbestos disposal regulations are reportedly slated to be introduced on March 1 at the recycling center for the UK town of Highbridge, according to Burnham-On-Sea.
The news source reports the carcinogenic material will soon only be accepted at the site on the town's Isleport industrial estate if it has been contacted in advance. Additionally, the asbestos must be double-wrapped and sealed in heavy plastic before it is brought to the recycling center, according to the news provider.
Steve Read, manager of the Somerset Waste Partnership, told the news source that the changes were designed to promote the safety of individuals in Somerset County.
"Somerset is raising the standards to ensure everyone's safety, whether it is residents disposing of asbestos or other recycling site users and staff," Read explained.
Taking all the necessary precautions when it comes to handling and disposing of asbestos is of paramount importance, as asbestos-related illnesses such as lung cancer, asbestosis and malignant mesothelioma are responsible for the deaths of approximately 107,000 people around the world each year, according to the World Health Organization.

I have renewed optimism in our government with President Barack Obama and the EPA's action this week to curb carbon emissions. I watch our Earth's response to the pollution and energy consumption cycle we are in as a society, with increasing weather extremes in the forms of more devastating fires, storms, rains, floods, droughts and landslides; and I watch the increasing restlessness and agitation throughout the world, with resource competition being a major contribution to this building strife.
As a family physician and member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, I feel Obama's action to lower CO2 levels represents the kind of leadership the U.S. and the world need to redirect our energy consumption and economy to one that will assure a sustainable and healthy future for us and our children.

Notices that school buses are cancelled in the name of safety are so common now that it doesn't even surprise anyone anymore — except today, Jan. 22.
School buses were cancelled only in the morning, meaning that transportation will be available this afternoon, after school. Am I the only one struggling to understand this?
It's not snowing. There's no freezing rain. It's just damn cold. Therefore, why on earth were school buses cancelled this morning, and why only this morning?
It's still forecasted to be very cold later today. What's going to change between the morning and afternoon run? Nothing.
Well, my curiosity got the better of me and I couldn't help but contact the Sudbury Student Services Consortium to dig a little deeper into the issue.
The friendly representative I spoke to was kind enough to clear things up for me and confirmed my suspicion. When asked why buses were cancelled this morning, she stated: "It's very cold today. Some of our buses didn't start."
Cancel the entire service because "some" buses wouldn't start? Does this seem reasonable to everyone out there? Why couldn't alternate arrangements be made for those routes affected by the buses that didn't start?
In any event, it seems to me bus cancellations are happening more frequently than ever and for increasingly trivial reasons. I believe it has to stop.
Cancelling the entire $25 million a year service for a day due to a simple case of cold weather is just not acceptable.

Lucas County will remain under a Level Three snow emergency until at least midnight, Tuesday.
Sheriff John Tharp says the roads are dangerous and he must protect public safety.
Normally, downtown streets melt first and at least you can get around. But after nearly a foot of snow, and temperatures well below zero, those snowy roads are tough to clear.
"It's not a snow emergency. At this point, it's an ice emergency."
Tuesday morning, Lucas County's sheriff announced roads are so bad in town– and in the county– that a Level Three emergency will hold until at least midnight.
Tharp told 13abc's Bill Hormann, "The streets appear to be passable but they're dangerous, they are totally, totally unsafe."
He's especially worried about I-75 which has been closed in parts several times over the last couple days.
The Level Three emergency has allowed city plows to make runs down most residential streets but some cars along the curb are blocking plows.
Tuesday afternoon, he city started towing cars to nearby streets just to make room for plows.
Public Utilities director the city of Toledo, Bill Franklin, said, "We're not going to impound them and charge but we need them out of the way."
The below zero temperatures make it impossible for chemicals to melt the road ice.
Along with the snow packed streets and the ice pack underneath some streets have become depositories of all the plows and backhoes that are moving snow off streets. Some corners have 10-foot mounds of snow making getting around downtown Toledo impossible.
That causes businesses to close and affects people's pay checks and hurts the county's tax collection.
Lucas County Commissioner, Pete Gerken (D) says, this is a hardship on businesses. "We understand that this could be up to half-a-billion dollars in economic impact going into two or three days," Gerken told reporters.
And the roads are still icy and that's making travel dangerous.
Sheriff Tharp adds, "At this point, we have to go to a Level Three; somebody's going to get killed."
If you find you get stuck in the snow… the sheriff suggests:
Making sure you have a full tank of gas…
Staying in your car
Using your cell phone to call for help
And staying in your car.
Abandoning your car could impede snow plows from clearing roads and you could put yourself in danger from either being hit by a car or from the bitter cold temperatures.
Sheriff Tharp will evaluate the Level Three throughout the night and have an update at midnight.

Baylor returns as Rockies hitting coach
Club's former manager among additions to Hurdle's staff
DENVER -- Don Baylor is returning to the Rockies, this time as their hitting coach.Baylor was one of four coaches named to manager Clint Hurdle's staff on Monday. Also hired were bench coach Jim Tracy, third-base coach Rich Dauer and bullpen coach Jim Wright. The Rockies also announced that Brian Jordan is being promoted from the Minor Leagues to be the strength and conditioning coach. They join pitching coach Bob Apodaca and first-base coach Glenallen Hill, who are being retained from the 2008 staff. They replace former dugout coach Jamie Quirk, hitting coach Alan Cockrell, third-base coach Mike Gallego and bullpen coach Rick Mathews. "I do believe all four men are the right fit for the right need and the right time for our ballclub," Hurdle said on Monday afternoon. "They bring specific skill sets that will challenge and encourage our players and allow them to get back to the basics of playing the type of baseball that was evident in the '07 season and the team dynamic of team first. They are all very passionate about the Rockies." Baylor, 59, was the Rockies' first manager and spent six seasons in the job. He had a 440-469 (.484) record and led them to a 77-67 record in 1995. The Rockies won the National League Wild Card that season -- their only postseason appearance until 2007 -- and Baylor was National League Manager of the Year. "We didn't do this as a feel-good thing," Hurdle said. "We did it because [Baylor] is the right man to help out our offense. I know I learned from him as his hitting coach. His experience fits for us as a former manager, hitting coach and a player. From team accomplishments and individual accomplishments, he's very special. There's a presence to Don that's very evident, and I feel he has a sense of unfulfilled business here in Colorado."
Baylor also spent three seasons as Cubs manager (2000-02) and has five years of experience as a hitting coach with the Mariners (2005), Braves (1999), Cardinals (1992) and Brewers (1990-91). He also spent 19 seasons with six teams in the Major Leagues, hitting .260 with 338 home runs and 1,276 RBIs. He was the 1979 American League MVP while with the Angels.The addition of Baylor and Tracy adds 16 years of Major League managerial service to the Rockies staff. Hurdle will be entering his eighth season with the Rockies in 2009. "Jim has worked for two guys that I respect as much as anybody in the industry in Felipe Alou and Davey Johnson," Hurdle said. "He has invaluable experience on the bench as well as having managed a major-market team in Los Angeles and a mid-market team in Pittsburgh. He'll help create a dynamic that will help us challenge our players and provide me with insight on the bench."
Tracy, 52, managed the Pirates in 2006-07 and the Dodgers in 2001-04, leading the latter to a division title in 2004. This will be his 32nd season in professional baseball, including four seasons as a bench coach for the Expos under Alou in 1995-98 and the Dodgers under Johnson in 1999-2000.Dauer, 56, has spent the past three seasons as the organization's Minor League roving infield coordinator. In addition to coaching third base, he will be the Rockies' infield coach and coordinator of all defensive positioning. A former infielder with the Orioles, Dauer has eight years of experience as third-base coach in the Major Leagues with the Royals (1997-2002) and the Indians (1990-91). He was also a bench coach for the Brewers from 2003-05. "Rich Dauer was mentored by Cal Ripken Sr. and has a passion for defense," Hurdle said.
Wright, 53, has been in the Rockies organization for 12 years, including the past six as their Minor League pitching coordinator. He is has worked closely with a number of the Rockies pitchers, including Aaron Cook, Manuel Corpas, Jeff Francis, Ubaldo Jimenez and Ryan Speier. He was Rockies pitching coach in 2002. Overall, he has 18 years of Minor League experience as a pitching coach/coordinator."[Wright] has worked with all our pitching prospects and the next two tiers of pitchers coming," Hurdle said. "He should really be a valuable addition to our staff in working with Bob Apodaca."
Jordan has spent the past nine years as the Rockies Minor League strength and conditioning coordinator.

The prince was found dead surrounded by a fascinating but frightening assembly of petshop merch, seeds mostly but here and there a snake hook and a gigantic fish net lay crammed violently in the mud. Instruments of the paranoid and obsessive pet owner. Life at the palace had become unendurable – the complete alienation of the palace ducks was incredibly hard to take. He realized that the ducks weren't seeing him with loving fondness or even understanding anymore and the way he came to realize this was both tragic and entertaining: on Broadway, a Klingon ship was revealed to the audience, of which the prince was a part, to be a green scrawny chest floating in space. This was what you got when you did a nubbin by nubbin breakdown of the chest cloaking your pet's appreciation of your love. You came up empty-handed and aghast. Artificial thunder struck a mirror lying flat on the stage – an impressive display of trapped energy roiling submissively in a reflective surface on behalf of Klingon vanity, but it brought all eyes on the prince, who wished only to be seen by his ducks.

How can teachers incorporate creativity in their classroom?
Creativity can inspire students to learn new content through a creative outlet. Classroom teachers have a constant struggle between teaching content and incorporating creativity into daily instruction. Often state standards limit the teacher's ability to develop lessons that include creation in the classroom and teachers may resort to a more teacher-centered environment. It is the teachers responsibility to generate lessons and centers that encourage students to be creative. It is vital that the incorporation of creativity in the classroom is encouraged so that students of varying learning styles are exposed to different ways to learn.
After generating a list of potential solutions it was determined that there are two possible ways to incorporate creativity into the classroom. The first option would be to designate a space in the classroom to pique the student's creative outlet. This area is dedicated to creative activities such as a thinking table, drama station, readers' theater or group discussion. An advantage to this solution would be that students are able to move around the classroom throughout the day and are not confined to staying at their desk. It also encourages students to use their imagination through planned or spontaneous dramatic actions. A drawback would be lack of space in a classroom which can make creative stations limited and distracting to the students. The second possible solution would be collaboration of content material with specialized teachers (art, gym, computer, etc.). By having the specialized teacher involved in the creation and implementation of lessons the student will gain a varied understanding of the material. A disadvantage would be that specialized teachers often have their own agenda and expectations. This may lead to a disjointed presentation of the material and lead students to become uninterested or confused.

May 13 2013: know more stuff about what you are teaching so that what is amazing and beautiful ,unfortunate,repeatable,humerous ect is revealed. When you teach history include the family and the bankers and sleazy politics of religion and business...show the errors..and show the great ideas of ancient wisedom of ALL cultures,show all science including alternative such as numerology and shamanism,,,show great thinkers from all cultures,include WOMAN, Teach about the spirit of ourselves that must be trained with self awareness in action ,speech and search for enlightenment to becoming our best self. Teach about the wisdom of animals and the cooperation of all beings..rid your classroom of all outdated modes of being,racism,sexism,imperialism . To be in a classroom where It pulsed with gratitude for all the true great things in life,celebrated tself..the real best ideas of woman and men of all races and warned about all the possible pitfalls of the ways of being would be like stepping into a perfect mind. If I encountered specialized material I would research it myself..nothing has an existence that is without a connected story and that story is our collective reality
