The Glue of ToleranceWILLIAM E. CARROLL
In a world of values rather than virtue, education is seen only as clarification, and tolerance becomes a political and moral absolute. The appeal to tolerance too often deflects us from the important task of examining the rightness or wrongness of our behaviour; thus, it really is no more than a claim for the primacy of Ill do as I please. In this respect, tolerance serves as a kind of moral prophylactic; it offers only a false sense of security from the real dangers to the social order.
Recently, The Economist devoted several pages to an essay on American Values. Reflecting on the role of family values in the current presidential campaign, the British publication argued that the key to the success of American society has been the glue of tolerance. Tolerance has allowed the diversity of America to take coherent shape as a nation. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and other founding documents nowhere explicitly refer to tolerance. Yet, according to The Economist, tolerance is the essential underlying principle in these texts: tolerance of race; of religion; of neighbour, and of the other mans point of view. Appeals to family values which exclude widely divergent points of view about personal and social behaviour show all too acutely the dangers that arise when a nation of many peoples, beliefs, races, and traditions keeps to rallying cries of liberty, equality, and happiness, but neglects the glue of mutual regard, attention, and respect.
Historians might well disagree with The Economists analysis of what is the essential underlying principle of the founding documents; nevertheless, there has grown up in many circles in America the view that tolerance is not only the key to a well-ordered society, but an ultimate value in itself. Note the strange claim that, through the agency of tolerance, diversity takes coherent shape as a nation.
A nation held together only or principally by the glue of tolerance is not really a nation at all, but a patchwork of competing interests artificially joined. The inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are abstract ideals which require constant instantiation in the here-and-now of everyday life. Tolerance is a kind of practical disposition which enables debate to take place about the concrete realization of these and other ideals. Glue is a crucial instrument of unity; it is not one of the constituent principles of that unity.
The immediate occasion for the essay in The Economist and similar wide-ranging observations throughout the American press is the debate about family values made vocal, if not shrill, at the Republican National Convention in Houston in August. Patrick Buchanan, the failed challenger to the partys presidential nomination, and Pat Robertson, the evangelical minister, television personality, and presidential candidate in 1988, addressed the convention with rhetoric particularly offensive to many of the special interest groups which have in recent years found their home in the Democratic Party. Gay rights, abortion advocacy, radical feminism, hiring quotas for minorities, pornography in the arts, and related issues served as red flags for a political convention which most of the press, in characteristic disdain for religious doctrine, referred to as captured by the religious right. Such a characterization was abetted by speakers who described a religious war between the forces of darkness and light.
Europeans are often bemused, if not confused, about the role of religion in American public life. In many ways, the proliferation of churches and sects in the United States serves a similar function to the proliferation of political parties in parliamentary democracies such as France, Italy, and Germany. Appeals to God or the failure to make such appeals play a powerful role in American political discourse. And from time to time such appeals have produced apocalyptic pronouncements, if not violent action; the debate over slavery in the nineteenth century, Prohibition and womens suffrage in the early twentieth century and, more recently, abortion and feminism come to mind.
A telling feature of the current debate is the common language which all sides share. All agree that there is a clash of values. But what do we mean by value? If, as is generally the case, it means simply the conclusion a person comes to about the relative importance of a particular object, behaviour, or point of view, then all values are really equal; that is, a value is the subjective judgement of an individual. Values are as numerous and as diverse as the judgements of individuals. It is easy to see how such a view leads to the conclusion of the relativist: no value can really be considered superior to any other value. The very contradiction of such a claim has its source in mistaken discourse about values in the first place.
Informed discussion about human behaviour occurs in the realm of virtue, not value. It is an indication of the impoverishment of moral discourse in the United States that there is so little talk of virtue and so much nonsense about values. Where is the discussion of prudence, courage, temperance, and justice, the classical virtues which have occupied the attention of the greatest minds in human history?
The real danger of the religious right is not some particular policy they urge for the country although some of their proposals are ill-conceived but rather the fideism which informs their arguments. An appeal to divine revelation as the benchmark for public policy is inappropriate for a democracy in which religious pluralism is a fundamental element. Reason, both theoretical and practical, ought to serve as the arbiter in disputes about the organization of society. Gods revelation does not destroy the order of reason; it completes and perfects it. The truth which reason discovers does not contradict the truth which faith affirms, since God is the author of all truth. Thus, a Christian ought not to fear the give-and-take of reasoned reflection; indeed, faith can help to illuminate the path of reason. But it is a path on which all can walk, regardless of faith. The antidote to a pervasive ethical relativism in the public arena is the reaffirmation of reason, not an appeal of faith.
Opponents of the religious right who exalt tolerance as an ultimate principle for society also distrust reason. Individual choice becomes the final court of moral evaluation. The pursuit of happiness, then, is nothing more than Ill do as I please, sometimes joined by the caveat, so long as I dont harm others. Happiness, in such a view, means individual pleasure rather than a life of virtue. Those who argue for a society of tolerance in which one persons moral judgement is not imposed on another presuppose that such judgements are nothing more than individual preferences. Tolerance is thus only a code word for moral relativism. In so many of the current debates about abortion or homosexuality, for example, it has become especially easy simply to deny the role of reason in discovering the truth. Personal preference, misidentified as the pursuit of happiness, serves as the only sure guarantee of liberty. But proponents of tolerance apply the principle selectively, rejecting positions with which they fundamentally disagree.
Tolerance, of course, is not bad. It is not, however, the highest good. Rather, it functions in support of those goods which are absolute. Tolerance is not the same as civility, nor is it charity. Tolerance is an ideal of behaviour for those who share common first principles about the organization of society. With out such common principles about the nature of justice, for example tolerance loses its mediating role.
Tolerance, like glue, is no substitute for the foundation of a just and wise political order.
Unable or unwilling to recognize the first principles of a social order based on truth and justice, one uses tolerance as a cloak to cover intellectual nakedness. Tolerance thus becomes a kind of trump card in any argument; it serves as the ultimate justification of and protection for claims of morality, public and private, which often fail the test of reason. The abortion debate is instructive in this regard. That human life begins at conception and that it is unjust intentionally to kill an innocent human being are not the conclusions of a particular point of view which, in the name of tolerance, must respect opposing points of view. The call to tolerance by those who favour a womans right to have an abortion only avoids the central unsettling demands of a truly just society, a society which protects its most innocent members.
In a world of
values rather than virtue, education is seen only as clarification, and tolerance
becomes a political and moral absolute. The appeal to tolerance too often deflects
us from the important task of examining the rightness or wrongness of our behaviour;
thus, it really is no more than a claim for the primacy of Ill do
as I please. In this respect, tolerance serves as a kind of moral prophylactic;
it offers only a false sense of security from the real dangers to the social order.

Birth Control Pill Users Need Better Information
The third week of a pack of pills is a very important time not to miss pills, Zlidar tells WebMD. "If a woman misses two or more pills in a row during the third week of the pill pack, she should be sure to take at least seven pills straight." She should then skip the placebo pills, since they do not contain hormones. Start a new pack the very next day, without the usual seven-day wait.
Some women believe they need to give their bodies a rest from the pill, writes Zlidar: "Some health care providers incorrectly advise pill users" to take a rest ... [but] there is no scientific justification for it."
"The simple basic instruction for effective pill use is, of course: Take one pill each day," she says. "Beyond that, thinking in terms of seven days can help a woman avoid pill-taking errors and correct for mistakes. For full protection against pregnancy, do not go for more than seven days without taking hormonal pills. If you miss two or more pills, keep taking hormonal pills for at least seven days straight to stay protected."
The "seven-day" guideline is based on the fact that seven straight days of taking pills are needed to suppress a woman's hormonal cycle at the beginning of a pill pack.
Because the traditional guidelines can be confusing for women, Zlidar encourages health care providers to emphasize the principle behind the seven-day guideline. "Providers must tell women how pills work, and that for seven days every month they are not taking hormonal pills. This is especially important for 28-day [pack] users to remember. ... Telling women that the pill puts their ovaries to sleep and that missing pills can wake their ovaries up is a good way to explain it in understandable terms."
As for remembering -- daily -- to take that important little pill, Zlidar offers a suggestion: "Women have a lot of success when they link it to a routine, like when they take it when the alarm clock goes off. It acts as cue, a reminder to take my pill."
Ask your doctor about new types of birth control pills, she advises. Some have low-dose hormones in the placebo pills, which can help eliminate some side effects like breakthrough bleeding. Other new pills can eliminate the monthly period for up to three months, "especially good if they're experiencing painful menstruation or endometriosis," Zlidar says.
"We want to send a wake-up call to women, ask them to get more involved, asking questions, demanding answers," she tells WebMD. "Every woman really has the ability to make this an effective method. If she can take the time to get the information she needs, she can be a successful user and be happy with the method."

For the fourth year in a row we've filled up our little thrift store jar that we etched with the word "Thanks" back in 2010 (you can read how we made it here). So before everyone dives headfirst into the gravy bowl (what? that's not a thing?) we thought we'd stick with the annual tradition of sharing a few glimpses of some things that ended up on the list this year.
Spoiler alert: one of them's you guys. So let's just pause for a moment so I can tell you how good your hair looks and how nice you smell and how flattering that shirt is and most of all, how grateful we are that you drop in on our blog.
This past year has been insanely wild and wonderful: moving into a new house, a new baby on the way, a whirlwind book tour, working on a showhouse for Habitat For Humanity, hearing Oprah say our names. Look, I'm so ver clempt I didn't even use parallel structure for that list. We just don't have the words to explain how amazing and completely unexpected this little blog journey has been. We never could have dreamed that first post in 2007 would ever lead to this life, and I'm so so thankful that my techie hubby was all "let's start a blog for fun"
and I was all "a what? that sounds nerdy."
Anyway, I'm rambling. Back to the "thanks jar" tradition. For anyone who needs a refresher, every year since 2010 we've each stuck a piece of paper in it every day during the month of November with a different thing that we're grateful for. You can see a few things that made the list in 2010, 2011, and 2012. This year was even more special because Clara is so articulate and color-happy that she got to dictate every single one of her card to us, and had fun coloring each one as she went along (last year there was a lot of us asking "are you thankful for… books?" and this year she came up with each item all on her own). Plus there's a card where she drew me and my head looks just like a football. Priceless.
This year we also tried a new color system. Instead of everyone picking a randomly colored card each day, Clara's are all yellow, mine are all orange, and John's are all red. So when we flip back through this year down the road, the colors will clue us in on who's "talking" (sometimes our chicken scratch starts to blend after staring at a ton of tiny pieces of paper).
Some of our favorite things that Clara listed were:
- Making smoothies with daddy
- Santa! (a holiday crossover)
- Legos and building really biiiig castles with mommy
- Going to the beach
- Grammy & TomTom and their toys
- Playing in my box crib (we currently have a giant refrigerator sized box in our living room and Clara fills it with animals and toys and basically wants to live in there)
Meanwhile, John and I had some funny overlapping ones (we both specifically shouted out The Walking Dead, iPhones, and the mighty miter saw).
Every year at the end (usually Thanksgiving Eve or Thanksgiving Day), we open the jar to read them all together – and we also go through the batches that we've saved from the past years. It's sweet how they freeze time and remind us of things we'd never remember otherwise (old shows we watched that have since been canceled, places we visited, "hot" songs that we loved that have since been completely forgotten, weird inside jokes). I love that we'll always have them to peek back on.
Sheesh, and to think my original plan for this post was just going to be typing "Happy Thanksgiving" with this cute chalkboard pic and letting you guys go eat your stuffing in peace. I'm going to go ahead and blame the hormones. They make you wordy, right? No. Then maybe it's the smell of cookies baking (they make me delirious). Can't. Stop. Talking.
We hope you all enjoy safe travels, good food, loving company, and
weird dreams about Bound 2 a nice post-dinner nap. We'll be spending the holiday with the fam along with diving into some kitchen stuff and a few Children's Hospital projects that we can't wait to share with you when we come back (three pounds heavier).

This is such a wonderful way to be reminded of things you're thankful for throughout the year, not just the 30 days in November. Today, I'm thankful for friends who are like family (framily?) when my family is a ways away! Happy Thanksgiving!
Love this idea so much. One day when I start my own traditions this just might have to make the list. Pinning now :) – Happy Thanksgiving!!
Speaking of Bound 2, I really hope you guys have seen this:
THAT is something I am thankful for.
Best video ever. In more inappropriate entertainment news, here's an amusing video of a guy recreating the Wrecking Ball video while using chatroulette:
Man! You beat me to it. This=pretty much making my year.

What a sweet family tradition. Our kids are now young adults, but I think we could start this as a new "empty nest" tradition. :). Thank you for sharing (so beautifully) your home and family with us. Happy thanksgiving!
I love how projects like this seem to take you right back to a certain moment. It's like a modern day time capsule. Happy thanksgiving to you & your family!
I just noticed you had ANTM written down. I just caught up on the latest season & it was drama-filled! I still can't convince my man to watch it with me though…. Haha.
Happy Thanksgiving from across the river :)
I think this weekend I am going to start a "thankful" jar. It will be a nice reminder on hectic days to slow it down and just be thankful.
I am thankful for your blog which I so enjoy reading. You write so well that I feel that I know each of you and we are best friends!

Happy Thanksgiving! We already celebrated (Canada whatwhat) and I totes implemented the YHL Thanks Jar! It was so fun reading all our notes with my husband. Enjoy your meal and family time :)
Ah! Love it so much.
The little things throughout a year add up. Only one day is nationally sanctioned as "Thanksgiving", but I love the idea of a year-round thank jar.
Great way to look back on the past with gratitude, but look forward with excitement! 2014 is lookin' good!
Happy Thanksgiving, Petersik family! I'm thankful for your blog–I look forward to reading every new post! Enjoy your day.
And this is the third year in a row that I say, "I'm going to make a Thanks jar for next year." Maybe I should put it on my New Year's Resolutions list… Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Now go eat some turkey Petersiks! Happy Day!
How sweet of you to post today! I just wanted to say how thankful I am for your blog………. even though I don't know you, I am very fond of your little family and blog, and look forward to it every day. Have a wonderful holiday :)
Happy Thanksgiving John,Sherry and Clara!! It's been great finding you this year and following along with your family projects. Have a great day.
Keep that refrigerator box around for as long as you can! I remember when I was around 4-5 we had one randomly and it was just GREAT.
What a lovely collection of thank yous you are amassing from year to year. You forgot to add meeting jbhat in Tacoma to your list of this year's highlights. lol Wasn't that right up there with, who's that you say? Something about Oprah? ; )
Have a wonderful holiday!
Happy Thanksgiving, guys! I'm thankful to have found such a family-oriented, hilarious *this-is-my-humor*, beautiful blog! You guys are truly wonderful and I am thankful to have stumbled upon your area of the interwebs!
Happy Thanksgiving Petersiks!
Just taking a break from cooking to read your blog — love your tradition.
Happy Thanksgiving from sunny California. You guys are the best. Thanks for keeping up the blog, and always thinking of your followers. I bet it's tough to keep up with the comments, but that's what makes you awesome.
Thankful for the brightness you guys bring to my DIY-lovin' life, that my husband is home from the hospital in time for Thanksgiving and that yes, there is good television on. (I won't say ANTM is "good" but it does entertain and I haven't missed a season)
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm so thankful for so many things. One of them is you guys and your blog. Please have the Happiest of Thanksgivings!
Happy thanksgiving to you too. And thank you for the daily reads we enjoy so much.
This is the best idea ever!! I love this so much!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thankshiving to you guys! I feel like there is so much to be thankful for. Thanks for a lovely post today (and every day!)
Happy thanksgiving to you too guys! Thank you for all the inspiration and sharing with all of us. :-)
Happy Thanksgiving YHL!
This is kind of random but I came across this surfing the web tonight and thought Sherri would love because it's a ceramic animal AND a chihuahua! You probably already own this or know about it but I thought I would check in just in case!
I'm very thankful for the always hysterical $herdog, John the super husband (who sets the hubby bar seriously high!), sweet adorable Clara & that cute little (ham) Burger! You guys make every day more fun with your posts, and you beat the pants off any "this old house" I ever saw growing up in the old days with my with my dad (zzzzz)! Thanks for being so awesome! Hope your holiday was fabulous!
its your book! in an anthro ad! YAY!
Happy Thanksgiving, Petersiks!
Also, ran across this shirt and thought John would love it!
I love your family tradition of taking a moment to write down your simple pleasures. Once again you've inspired me this past Thanksgiving (Canadian) I decided to make my own list of my blessings big and small. Happy Thanksgiving Young House <3
here in Germany, we dont celebrate Thanksgiving usually.. we have something like a harvest festival, but thats not a public holiday.
Yesterday, we gathered for the second time at a friends house and celebrated Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful evening! Hope you had a blast! Wish you all the best, and also thankful for your everyday DIY-Input!
Thank you!
Of course, the daughter of $herdog would give a shout out to her "box crib"! LOL

Harlem Furniture sofa set warranty rejection
September 14, 2005

1000-46 Rohlwing Rd.
Lombard, Illinois 60148
Re: 0513503MRZH
Dear Mr. Berman, On June 25, 2005, I purchased a 7 pc. living room set from your Hoffman Estates location. I have made all of my furniture purchases from your stores. This was microfiber set on which I was "sold" it and did not freely choose it because I was intimidated by the material. The Sales lady talked to me for over an hour on how I had nothing to worry about as far as stains are concerned because the pre-treatment she was selling to me would cover, and I quote, "any stains". She went through the whole scenario dipping the untreated piece of fabric in the solution of wine and it be stained but doing so with the pretreated fabric did not stain. I was impressed thus I made this purchase though GAFCO financing having been told not to worry. Not even a month later, there were stains being shown on my set. When delivered, there was no solution sent in case I had to clean it so I used a damp sponge to try and get the stains off it. These stains at the time were food stains and other small things like that. Nothing came off the set. By the time I called, ink had found it's way on the set as well. The customer service department was very rude to me in instructing me how to file a claim At the time of purchase, I told that it was easy, I would call if something was wrong and a tech would be out to clean it, and I quote again, "no questions asked". Not to mention, the cashiers did not give me any warranty information on thie product, or cleaning tips at the time of delivery or purchase. Now, I am very nice and respectful, these ladies in Customer Service have a job to do but to be mean is unacceptable. They finally gave me the number to stainsafe and I spoke to another rude representative who said to me that it would be no problem to help, she'd send me cushions replacements for the affected areas. I left that conversation thinking I was to get help. Yesterday however, i received a letter from Stainsafe stating they did not cover ink (even though ink was the least of the stains on this couch) and they had to deny my claim even though I was told I would be getting it replaced. I contacted everyone from the sales rep who directed me to customer service who called stainsafe and said the young lady just made a mistake. I even asked if there was a way to buy the pieces myself in an attempt to just solve the problem. they said no. So now, I"m stuck with a couch that has all types of small stains on it and one little ink stain on a set that isn't even four months old. I am upset that the sales person did not tell me that ink volds the warranty. I really should have gone with my gut and not purchased a micro-fiber set but she made me so confortable in do it that now I feel like I was simply just sold to and not really helped. Again, I am a loyal customer and I know that me writing this complaint will get results. What I want is simply to have the affected areas cleaned or replaced or something. I don't want this to get out of hand, but I feel that I must invform the customers and inform Rainbow push if needed for assitance with this claim. Please help me to get the things I need for this set. I appreciate your time.
Plano, IL 60545

Skip Maine state header navigation
For Immediate Release
PRESQUE ISLE, ME -- Secretary of State Dan A. Gwadosky will visit Presque Isle today to highlight the state's Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) and provide training to individuals interested in serving as ACP Application Assistants.
Launched earlier this year, and administered by the Secretary of State, ACP provides an important service to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. The program has two basic parts. First, it offers a designated address to victims who have moved to a new location unknown to the abuser. Second, it provides a free first-class confidential mail forwarding service.
Participants receive a program authorization card, which includes the individual's name, authorization code, designated address and expiration date. Under the ACP law, state and local agencies are required to accept the designated address as though it is the participant's actual residence address.
Domestic violence and sexual assault victim advocates throughout Maine will be trained to serve as ACP Application Assistants. In this capacity, they will share information about the program with those who could benefit from it, and help those individuals to apply.
Secretary Gwadosky will conduct a training session for representatives of the Battered Women's Project and Homeless Services of Aroostook County today in Presque Isle. For additional information about the program, or to set up an interview with Secretary Gwadosky, please contact Chip Gavin or Doug Dunbar at 626-8406.

How is everybody doing ?
59/100 pictures of Holly Marie Combs
What do you want me to tell you, then?
I don't know !! Something.
Holly Marie Combs Interview - Charmed & Pretty Little Liars
I don't know what to tell!
Bah, I do believe you're deceiving me. But I'll let it pass. For now.
Nothing Holls, I swear!
Do you think I believe that statement ?
Hum…no, nothing important.
You hesitated for a moment there … What are you hiding missy ?

BSI: The "baseball codes" have come up more than a few times in meetings between these two teams (for instance, David Price's girlfriend going on Twitter to admonish David Ortiz for admiring a home run off her man). What's your take on Escobar's steal last weekend and the Red Sox (over)reaction?
RCG: Price's struggles have stemmed from him throwing too many hittable pitches. In the past, his stuff has been good enough where he could throw pitches in the zone to avoid walks but still not get hit hard. This season, the velocity on his pitches has been lower than in the past, and thus he has been more hittable. He needs to adjust his mentality and not be afraid to give up a few extra walks if it means that he is going to give up fewer hits.
As far as going outside the organization to get more pitching, that isn't going to happen. The Rays don't have the payroll to accommodate more pitching, and they won't give up the prospects necessary to trade for a pitcher. Erik Bedard has filled in admirably, and with Alex Cobb's recent return and Jeremy Hellickson's impending return, the rotation should be just fine. If they do suffer another injury, both Nate Karns and Mike Montgomery have been throwing the ball well in Triple-A lately.
As mentioned, the Rays have lined up Price (4-4, 4.42), Odorizzi (2-4, 4.56) and Bedard (2-3, 4.10) in the series. The Red Sox are expected to counter with Brandon Workman (0-0, 3.18), Rubby De La Rosa (making his first big league start) and Jon Lester (5-6, 3.45). A lot could be riding on Lester Sunday with the kids starting the first two games of the series. Let's see if they can pick up the slack from the overwhelmingly disappointing Felix Doubront and Clay Buchholz.

Editor's Note: I bring you this week's rankings right here from the production studios of NFL Films. Earlier in the day, I covered a local high school football game, then stuffed my face while watching the first two games on the NFL slate. Now I as I produce some 49ers-Ravens highlights, I'll break down the NFC East through Thursday's action.
1) Dallas Cowboys (7-4) This team blows. Tony Romo pulled a Houdini for the second straight week as his terribly overrated team once again farted out a win over an inferior opponent. Yeah, I know Miami has played well lately, but spare me the excuses. The Cowboys were thoroughly outplayed at home for much of this game as a seven-point favorite. Give Tony Romo credit–he made some absurd plays to avoid catastrophe, but the Cowboys can't depend on flip passes and tipped floaters on a consistent basis.
But the bigger concern is Rob Ryan's defense. DeMarcus Ware was fantastic against the Dolphins, but Matt Moore had his way with the Cowboys' defense between the twenties. The Dolphins had to settle for four field goals. That defense won't be so lucky against better opponents. Fortunately for the Cowboys, they'll be able to further inflate their record against dreadful opponents in the coming weeks and in the process grab the NFC East title.
2) New York Giants (6-4) This team blows, too. Brandon Jacobs said after his team's 17-10 last Sunday night that the Eagles just wanted it more. Wait. Let's get this straight. The Eagles wanted it more in the midst of the Giants' division fight on national television? How can one of the Giants supposed leaders come out and say that? It's inexcusable. The New York defense was worked by Vince Young on that 80-yard drive that spanned nearly nine minutes. As for the offense? I've said in this space before that Eli Manning must continue to play at an elite pace if the Giants are to win the NFC East. That didn't happen on Sunday and a predictable result followed. They need to find a running game.
3) Philadelphia Eagles (4-6) This team really blows. It was damn near impossible to watch that game against the Giants and not wonder how the hell this team has put themselves in such a bad spot. They physically dominated the Giants only a week after playing one of their worst games of the past decade. Given the Eagles' knack for defying all sensibility, I'll take them as an underdog this week against the Patriots. And I'll take the Seahawks the following week because they're simply not capable of putting three straight wins together.
4) Washington Redskins (3-7) This team blows. There's nothing else to say.

iTunes-sponsored live Paul McCartney concert to stream for free on Apple TVA live concert from legendary artist Paul McCartney will be streamed live by Apple to iTunes and Apple TV set-top boxes on Thursday.
The singer-songwriter's event is being hyped on his official page on iTunes, where it is counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to the live, free performance. The concert will take place at Capitol Studios on Thursday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. Pacific, 10 p.m. Eastern.
The stream can be viewed within Apple's iTunes desktop client, or on an HDTV using the Apple TV set-top box. Users can access the stream by choosing "iTunes Live" from the Apple TV Internet menu.
The ex-Beatle is broadcasting the performance to promote his new album, "Kisses on the Bottom," which is now available on iTunes for $9.99 (iTunes link). The album features guest appearances from Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder and Diana Krall, and it is advertised as "an intimate exploration of the Great American Songbook" with two new songs.
The full catalog of the Beatles was long awaited on iTunes, and finally arrived on Apple's digital storefront in November of 2010. In the first two months, a total of 5 million songs and a million albums of the Beatles were sold on iTunes.
It took more than 7 years for the Beatles catalog to arrive on iTunes, thanks, in part, to a legal dispute between Apple and the band's parent company, Apple Corps. The trademark dispute was eventually settled in 2007.
Last year, Apple did a live broadcast of the iTunes Festival London 2011. Those could be viewed on iOS devices with a free application, but watching on the big-screen via Apple TV required the use of AirPlay. With this week's McCartney concert, Apple TV owners will be able to watch the show right on their HDTV without an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Back rubs are given, pills have been handed out,
Patients settled, some won't sleep, I have no doubt,
Fear paralyzing their being when darkness falls,
If they close their eyes, will night terrors sprout.
Night lights shed a little peace over their bed,
The medication eases the pain or so they've said,
Someone to sit by their side would ease the fear,
They worry, wanting to awake, not ending up dead.
For they know that death will come, it's not far off,
They work to breathe, chest heavy, the rattled cough,
Sunlight drifts in the window, another day, more life,
Eyes slowly open, blackness gone, at death they scoff.

35 HEMI VERSUS BUICK SHOOTOUT CARSIn 1985, Car Review (now Muscle Car Review) magazine set a storm in motion when it ran a story inviting Roy Badie's '70 Hemi GTX and Rick Lasseter's '70 Buick GS455 to duke it out in an effort to name the champ: Hemi or Buick. The GS455 blew doors, running 12.30 to the Hemi's 13.03 and starting a debate that still has not been settled despite two rematches. The cars involved invoked much passion on both sides of the battle, and the event put Buick musclecars on the map. -David Freiburger

April 18 - 21, 2014
Everywhere! Teams are welcome to launch from anywhere in the world.
What is the Global Space Balloon Challenge (GSBC)?
The Global Space Balloon Challenge is an international education outreach project to encourage people from around the world to build and launch their own high altitude balloons. Over a single weekend, teams from all over the world will launch balloons to the edge of space, recover them, and share the photos and data that they have collected. Our goal is to encourage people of all ages to get their hands dirty building their own space hardware, and to promote the spirit of hardware hacking and international STEM collaboration.
The launches will be between April 18 - 21, 2014, and will take place in countries across the world! So far we already have teams signed up from the US, UK, Spain, Australia, and Japan… and the list keeps growing!
The challenge will include competitions for Best Photograph, Best Design, Highest Altitude, and Best Experiment. Check out the Challenges page for more information!
What is a high altitude balloon (HAB)?
The term high altitude balloon is used to describe a large weather balloon (typically filled with helium) attached to a box that houses sensors and instruments. HABs usually burst between 60,000 to 120,000 feet (18 to 37km). While this altitude technically isn't "space", it is referred to as "near space" and still high enough to let you take incredible pictures, collect useful data, run experiments, or even test hardware that is preparing for actual launch into space.
Why should you get involved?
Building a high altitude balloon is a fantastic project for both new and and experienced hardware builders. A simple balloon might consist of a few sensors, while an advanced balloon might consist of altitude control, pointing control, a data collection system… the possibilities are endless! By getting involved with the GSBC you will get to work on a project that is only as complex as you are comfortable working with, and will give you the perfect opportunity to learn new skills. Through the project, you'll be able to communicate and collaborate with teams all around the world, as well get building advice from some of our many industry partners or experienced teams.
Head over to the "Get Involved" pages where you can sign up a new team or find an existing team to join. We look forward to seeing what exciting things you build and send to space!

Looking for a caffeinated boost, Taylor Swift dropped by a New York City Starbucks location for some freshly-brewed coffee on her way to the gym on Wednesday (July 16).
The "Should've Said No" singer was breathtaking in a printed shirt dress with a belt and bright red lipstick as she carried her cup out the door (apparently she used the fake name Jenna while ordering).
Finishing up her fitness regimen for the day, Taylor Swift showed up outside a Manhattan gym on Monday afternoon (July 14).
The gorgeous songbird was impossible to ignore as she stepped out in a pair of pinstriped cutoff shorts with heels, giving shutterbugs a great shot of her incredible legs.
With a spring in her step, Taylor Swift took care of some errands around New York City on Wednesday (July 9).
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress looked summery in a floral print white frock as she made her way about town.
She's got a killer figure and she's not afraid to show it- Taylor Swift stepped out in New York City yesterday (July 7) looking superfine.
Sporting a matching printed crop top/skirt combo, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer was in good spirits following her fabulous Fourth of July weekend festivities with gal pals like Jaime King, Emma Stone and Lena Dunham.
It was a weekend filled with famous friends and plenty of cell phone photos as Taylor Swift made the most of the Fourth of July holiday.
They're both so busy with their own respective careers, so when Taylor Swift and Jaime King have a matching day off together, they really do it up.
On Thursday (July 3) the "Love Story" songstress and the "Hart of Dixie" dame found themselves at the pool with a couple of inflatable animal rafts.
Heading out for another lovely day in the Big Apple, Taylor Swift went for a stroll earlier this week (July 3).
The "Trouble" gal looked incredibly darling in a floral-print romper with a pair of complimentary mustard yellow pumps.
She's never afraid to take sartorial risks, and yesterday (July 1) Taylor Swift scored big with her vintage getup.
Finishing up a workout session at her gym in New York City, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress got all gussied up before stepping out onto the street.

Questions on Water Kefir Grains
- From Sophia Hung at 10/30/2014 7:42 PM
- Hi, I just activated my kefir yesterday, and I used gauze with rubber band to cover it, however today I found the top layer of the water had some tiny fibers ,and I believed that came from the gauze....do I need to change the whole water? If I use parchment paper with rubber band to cover it, ist ok? Does kefir need oxygen? How do I know if the kefir is activated? Thank you.
- The gauze should work well and rinsing it before use might help remove any stray fibers. Coffee filters also work very well without any lint or fibers. Use a small nylon mesh strainer to remove the fibers or rinse your grains before starting your new batch. We recommend using a loose fitting lid, coffee filter or tea towel for first fermentation to allow the carbon dioxide to escape. Depending on the temperature in your culturing area, your kefir grains will be active in 3 to 5 days and the grains will begin processing the sugar. You will know the grains are working by the flavor of your finished kefir. It should be slightly sweet with a lightly fermented (tangy, sour) flavor.

- Amazon has water kefir grains for 1/3 the price here. What makes your kefir grains worth the extra money.
- We produce our grains in a certified kitchen with organic rapadura sugar and top-quality water. We then send random samples of our product for testing by an independent lab to ensure their safety. When the grains are ready, we carefully dehydrate them to ensure they are not damaged during shipping. And finally, we offer full support for all of our cultures. Our experienced staff is available by phone, email and chat.

- I'm concerned about the safety of the second fermentation -- what prevents botulism or other toxic organisms in the anaerobic (sealed lid) phase?
Also, how much do I need to worry about bottles exploding?
- Pathogens will not exist in competition with the good bacteria in the finished water kefir, provided it has been appropriately cultured in the first ferment and stored in the second ferment. When there is an abundance of good bacteria versus bad bacteria, the good will win.
You do need to always check your bottles for cracks before you use them. Most people successfully do second ferments with no issues, but it does happen on occasion that a bottle will have problems. Ferment for only 1-3 days, taking note of warmer temperatures during the late spring and summer months. The same juice or fruit you ferment for flavoring with in the winter for 2-3 days may only take 1-2 days in the warmer months. Please contact Customer Support for more assistance.

- From Ann at 8/16/2014 6:52 PM
- If I purchase water kefir grains during the summer, will the hot weather hurt them during shipment?
- The cultures should be fine during shipping. We do send you an e-mail with tracking information once the package leaves our warehouse, so that you'll have an idea of when to expect delivery. Although most carriers are usually accurate, there have been occasions of packages arriving earlier than the estimated date, so be sure to check before as well. The best thing to do is get the cultures in the refrigerator as soon as possible after delivery. Avoid allowing the package to sit in a hot mailbox or out in the sun all day. Maybe have a neighbor pick up the package, have it shipped to your workplace, or even leave a cooler out for the mail carrier, as some customers do. We do not offer refrigerated shipping, but we do ship all over the country, year round, and have very few failures due to heat. Of course, if you have any problems with your culture, we ask that you contact our customer support for assistance.

- Many places on the web state that adding vanilla extract for the second ferment will give a Cream Soda taste to the kefir. Am I wrong in thinking that the alcohol in the extract would kill off the probiotics in the kefir?
- The amount of vanilla used is small, but may harm some of the bacteria. Using an alcohol free vanilla extract would be the best choice.

- I have some water kefir grains which I bought recently and have been using for about 10 days. They seem to have gone quite mad and have multiplied beyond anything I was expecting! I've tried eating some of them, but they still seem to be multiplying. Even after eating half of them, I've still got about 10 times what I started with. Is this normal? The water kefir they are producing looks and tastes fine, by the way.
- Some people experience a lot of grain growth and reproduction, others do not. Both extremes and everything between is "normal". The important thing is that they are making delicious kefir. You can dehydrate some of your extra grains to save as a backup, blend them up in a smoothie, mix them in with the soil for plants, compost them or share them with your friends.

- From Oriana at 7/1/2014 7:14 AM
- I added minerals to my kefir instead of sugar in the past, and I think it worked...Have you ever heard of this, and do you think the kefir would eventually die without sugar? I am hoping to order some more grains soon, but I am trying to cut sugar out of my diet. Even though a lot of the sugar is "eaten," I am still afraid there is quite a bit still in it. Thanks!
- The grains require food and a small amount of minerals. Although the grains may be able to culture a batch or two without food (sugar), they will soon become damaged and eventually die. You might want to experiment with a second fermentation to allow the yeast and bacteria in the finished kefir to consume more of the sugar without damaging the grains. A second fermentation is also a great time to add a little flavoring. You'll find information about a second fermentation here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/bottling-kombucha-and-water-kefir

- If I can use 1/4 cup of finished water kefir to culture coconut milk, can I also use 1/4 cup of finished water kefir to culture coconut water?
Would I be able to use 1/4 cup of the same cultured coconut water to culture another batch of coconut water?
- Yes, you can use the finished water kefir to culture coconut water! It is possible you can culture another batch from this, but the bacteria weakens with each batch further from the grains. You can experiment to see!
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- If I can use 1/4 cup of finished water kefir to culture coconut milk, can I also use 1/4 cup of finished water kefir to culture coconut water?
- From Sekka at 5/10/2014 8:29 PM
- I continue to observe the same reference of 3-4 tablespoons of W(ater) K(efir) grains for every 1-2 quarts. If I can use 3 tablespoons of WK grains for 2 quarts, does that mean I can use as little as 1.5 tablespoons of WK grains for 1 quart?
- The grains work best in a community of at least 3-4 Tablespoons. That would be the minimum. 1 1/2 Tablespoons may not be enough to support a healthy brew, even though it appears mathematically the ratio would work.

- Terrific!!!!!! Review by ellen
Value Quality Price
It is SO easy to use these water kefir grains, I have been using mine for over 2 weeks now and have a quart of fresh water kefir every 30 hours or so, just perfect timing since my previous batch has been consumed. I started using white sugar but after a few batches tried organic blackstrap molasses and love this. My latest batch has dried apples and candied citrus peel as an extra along with the molasses. I LOVE THIS!!!! Try it, you'll like it!
CFH note ~ White sugar does not include minerals that the grains need, adding black strap molasses or a pinch of sea salt is usually a great idea unless your water source already has a lot of minerals. Too many minerals can cause the grains to break into small pieces. Dried apple and candied citrus peel sounds like a wonderful combination for that second fermentation!

After years on probiotics and anti-fungal medicine, my child on the spectrum is now able to balance the yeast and bacteria in his gut by drinking this sweet, delicious beverage twice a day. I'm not sure what I expected, it seems like such a foreign concept, but the videos I watched made it so simple. We are now culturing water kefir every day and enjoying it straight as well as with added organic fruit juice. Every question I had when we were getting started was quickly and graciously answered by the staff at Cultures for Health. We were so happy with the water kefir, that we ordered other products as well. It's wonderful that something that tastes SO good can make one's life better. We are delighted with this company.

I enjoy my kefir water. I have ordered twice from Cultures for Health (killed one batch doing something dumb) so I ordered again after a move. I missed my kefir water when I was out. I just feel better when I consume this. The grains rehydrated well and they are easy to maintain. I mix kefir water in my green smoothies for an even healthier smoothie. I'm interested in trying to culture kombucha, as I enjoy that also, but have some trepidation--seems like kefir water is easier to maintain. For now, I'll stick with this!

I tried to get my kids to like homemade milk kefir. Really tried. It didn't work. But, they are drinking (and liking) the lemonade water kefir now. I am so excited about this. I haven't even been making it that long. My grains have taken off quickly since rehydrating them. I use organic sugar and then add concentrace drops and 1/4 of a clean egg shell for minerals. This produces an easy to flavor kefir water that can easily be combined with juice or made into lemonade for picky kids.

I have been making water kefir for only about a month. I have watched the videos and looked at the recipes. I have flavored with organic blueberry/cranberry juice, which I love. I also tried pineapple ginger today. Can't wait to taste it. I have not noticed that my grains are multiplying though. Maybe I haven't had them long enough? I have been drinking it with no fizz, but just bottled some to see if it will work for me. It has been great fun trying new things.

- couldn't be easier Review by HeidiS
Value Quality Price
I've already reviewed this item, but some more time has passed and I wanted to add some comments. First, this is a great way to start culturing, if you are new to it, because it is so simple: dissolve sugar in water, let cool, add grains, repeat every fe days. Also, you can make great flavors - my favorite is: juice one orange, one lime, one lemon and add to your prepared kefir water. It is wonderfully refreshing, very hydrating, and for my household it's a substitute for sodas and too-sugary juices. Note that if you kefir grape juice (look for the recipes on this website) it will turn the grains dark, and it will slightly color the next several batches of plain water kefir.

We recently moved to Arizona and I started making water kefir as a way to keep the kids and husband hydrated - and it has become a staple in our kitchen. Our favorite flavoring is lemon juice, but we also make a lot of grape, and a few other flavors. It's refreshing, delicious, and makes us feel good! Note: if you can't have ANY sugar, I would try the dairy kefir.

- Extreme pain in my hands Review by keith
Price Value Quality
Im 60 years old. I have had extreme pain in both of my hands for years. A few years ago my daughter mailed me some grains. I put them in a jug and added water and sugar. let them sit for a few days with an apple and drank it. Tastes bad. The next morning i went to the bathroom in high fashion.
After a few days i noticed that my hands didnt hurt. I also noticed i was making award winning deposits in the bathroom. I used those grains for about 1.5 years. I noticed that if i stopped drinking for a day, the next day my hands hurt and i didnt visit the hall of fame every morning.
SO i order more these grains about 1.5 years ago and added them to the existing grains and moved them into 1 gallon jars.
I figured out quick that time and temp are important. Tastes great now.
I am in no way a health freak. If its bad for you i eat it. I dont exercise at all. and im a smoker.

- Water Kefir Grains Review by t
Value Quality Price
Bought these last month but didn't use them right away, so I put them in the fridge until about two weeks ago, when I began the rehydration process.
The steps were clear and simple, and within a few days my grains were kefiring the water just fine. I'm still trying to find the best additives to make kefir "soda" since it sounded like a neat project, and have tried prune, apple, and cranberry juices, raisins, and vanilla extract, but so far no luck with finding a taste I care for.
However, my little nephew LOVES the water kefir mixed with a little apple juice (no 2nd ferment), and has now started requesting it.
Also, about a week ago, I noticed that some of my water kefir grains were floating and thought they were bad, so I ended up tossing the floaters out. I saw it again the next morning and worried that something was wrong, so I contacted a CFH customer service agent by chat via the website, and she assured me that it was the exact opposite; that my grains were fine and that I should not toss them out just because they float, as that is a sign that the grains are happy and healthy. :D
Anyway, I'm pleased with the purchase and love the knowledgeable, and always helpful, customer service! :)

I had never tried water kefir and I was very intimidated by it. I knew it would be healthy but the concept was just weird but I thought "Hey it's healthy - why not try it. I am using coconut/palm sugar since I kicked white sugar to the curb, and since it is brown, it made my water kefir look a little unappetizing. I got up the nerve to taste it and surprise, it is good. I now add it as a sweetener to my ice tea and I like the taste of it. My grains are happy and multiplying and my husband and I are also happy with this healthy, probiotic drink. My husband and I both feel better so this has been a positive experience.

"We're all detectives."
David Lynch in Lynch on Lynch.
Twin Peaks returns.
Haruki Murakami's new novel, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, is now available. Here is a repost of a composite image from his last novel, 1Q84.
Aomame, 1Q84, Haruki Murakami
5'6…Not once ounce of excess fat…The left ear much bigger than the right, and malformed, but her hair always covers her ears…Lips formed a tight straight line…Small narrow nose, somewhat protruding cheekbones, broad forehead, and long, straight eyebrows…[Face is a] Pleasing oval shape…Extreme paucity of expression. (Suggested by goya-galileo-vangogh )
Judge Holden, Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy
An enormous man dressed in an oilcloth slicker had entered the tent and removed his hat…He was bald as a stone and he had no trace of beard and he had no brows to his eyes nor lashes to them…He was close on to seven feet in height… His face was serene and strangely childlike…His hands were small. (Multiple suggestions.)
Updated image: Based on the consensus from The Onion AV Club discussion, Judge Holden has been updated to be bulkier.
Happy birthday, Cormac McCarthy!
Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
His very person and appearance were such as to strike the attention of the most casual observer. In height he was rather over six feet, and so excessively lean that he seemed to be considerably taller. His eyes were sharp and piercing, save during those intervals of torpor to which I have alluded; and his thin, hawk-like nose gave his whole expression an air of alertness and decision. His chin, too, had the prominence and squareness which mark the man of determination.
Good news for fans of American Gods. According to The Mary Sue, Starz has picked up the series adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel after HBO dropped development earlier this year. Here's the composite for Mr. Wednesday from 2012.
Mr. Wednesday, American Gods, Neil Gaiman
Shadow looked at the man in the seat next to him…He grinned a huge grin with no warmth in it at all…His hair was a reddish gray; his beard, little more than stubble, was grayish red. A craggy, square face with pale gray eyes…The man's craggy smile did not change…There was something strange about his eyes, Shadow thought. One of them was a darker gray than the other…humorless grin…Wednesday's glass eye… He was almost Shadow's height, and Shadow was a big man. (Suggested by jrodgersart and apeculiarcontradictorything)
Updated image: Author Neil Gaiman graciously suggested several changes to the composite: 20 years older; craggier; a squarer face and permanent smile. I updated everything but the last item—expression being rather muted in the program.
If you look at them in the right way the accused really can be attractive, quite often. — Franz Kafka, The Trial
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson
To this rule, Dr. Jekyll was no exception; and as he now sat on the opposite side of the fire—a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty, with something of a slyish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness…The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes.
Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile…thickly shaded with a swart growth of hair…corded and hairy…God bless me, the man seems hardly human! Something troglodytic…Edward Hyde was so much smaller, slighter, and younger than Henry Jekyll. Even as good shone upon the countenance of the one, evil was written broadly and plainly on the face of the other…The few who could describe him differed widely, as common observers will. Only on one point, were they agreed; and that was the haunting sense of unexpressed deformity with which the fugitive impressed his beholders.

Dallas Winston, The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton
If I had to pick the real character of the gang, it would be Dallas Winston—Dally. I used to like to draw his picture when he was in a dangerous mood, for then I could get his personality down in a few lines. He had an elfish face, with high cheekbones and a pointed chin, small, sharp animal teeth, and ears like a lynx. His hair was almost white it was so blond, and he didn't like haircuts, or hair oil either, so it fell over his forehead in wisps and kicked out in the back in tufts and curled behind his ears and along the nape of his neck. His eyes were blue, blazing ice, cold with a hatred of the whole world. Dally had spent three years on the wild side of New York and had been arrested at the age of ten. He was tougher than the rest of us—tougher, colder, meaner. The shade of difference that separates a greaser from a hood wasn't present in Dally. (Suggested by queenie-katherine )

Patricia Highsmith was born on January 19th, 1921. Above is a repost of the composite for Tom Ripley, from her novel The Talented Mr. Ripley.
[Ripley] combed his light-brown hair neatly in front of the mirror, and set off for Radio City. He had always thought he had the world's dullest face, a thoroughly forgettable face with a look of docility that he could not understand, and a look also of vague fright that he had never been able to erase. A real conformist's face, he thought…Really it was only his darker hair that was very different from Dickie.
Otherwise, his nose—or at least its general form—his narrow jaw, his eyebrows if he held them right. He wasn't really worried. Tom had at first amused himself with an eyebrow pencil—Dickie's eyebrows were longer and turned up a little at the outer edges—and with a touch of putty at the end of his nose to make it longer and more pointed, but he abandoned these as too likely to be noticed. The main thing about impersonation, Tom thought, was to maintain the mood and temperament of the person one was impersonating, and to assume the facial expressions that went with them. The rest fell into place…He might play up Tom a little more, he thought.
He could stoop a little more, he could be shyer than ever, he could even wear horn-rimmed glasses and hold his mouth in an even sadder, droopier manner to contrast with Dickie's tenseness.
Vaughn, Crash: A Novel, JG Ballard
His exhausted face, with its scarred mouth…As his pock-marked jaws champed on a piece of gum I had the sudden feeling that he was hawking obscene pictures around the wards…But what marked him out was the scar tissue around his forehead and mouth, residues of some terrifying act of violence…Heavy black hair…Broken and re-set nose bridge…His features looked as if they had been displaced laterally, reassembled after the crash from a collection of faded publicity photographs. The scars on his mouth and forehead, the self-cut hair and two missing upper canine gave him a neglected and hostile appearance…His hard mouth, with its scarred lips, was parted in a droll smile.
Happy birthday JG Ballard! H/T Vol. 1 Brooklyn

Of all of the delicious recipes (at least, I think they're delicious!) created for weelicious, I have to say
that few things get everyone in my house hustling to the kitchen faster than when I'm making something that smells as heavenly as these
chicken, cheese and pinto bean quesadillas. I knew these were going to be a hit even before my number one taster,
Kenya, put one in his mouth because he was standing at my pant leg grunting and repeatedly saying "mamamamama", which translated in baby language is
"whatever you've got up there I want right now)!!!
These quesadillas couldn't be easier to make. They take only minutes to prepare and I think Kenya ate more of them in one sitting then anything I've ever served him. You can use any type of tortilla, but I like to use whole wheat or spelt. Both kinds came out great, but after the spelt tortillas were cooked, they had a really toasty, nutty flavor. These quesadillas are packed with protein and as we say in our house "yummy, yummy yummy!"
Chicken, Cheese and Bean Quesadillas (make 20 Triangles)
1 Chicken Breast (about 1/2 cup cooked)
3/4 Cup Pinto Beans
1 Cup Monterrey Jack Cheese, shredded
4 Whole Wheat or Spelt Tortillas
1. Place the chicken breast in a steamer pot over boiling water and steam for 8 minutes or until it's cooked through.
2. Cut the chicken into several pieces and place it with the beans in a food processor. Pulse until well combined and little pieces remain.
3. Spread 3 Tbsp of the chicken mixture on half of a tortilla. Cover with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
4. Fold the tortilla in half.
5. Place the tortilla in a saute pan over low to medium heat (there's no need to add oil, butter or spray). Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip on the other side and continue to cook another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
6. Cool for several minutes and then cut into 5 triangles.
7. Serve.
* The cheese can remain quite hot even after you cut the tortillas into triangles, so make sure it's cool before serving to your toddler.

Health & Balance
10 Ways to Boost Your Energy in 10 Minutes or Less
8. Let the sunshine in. Research confirms that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day enhances mood, memory, and the ability to absorb new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. If you absolutely can't get out, at least open the shades.
9. Have a bite. Your brain needs fuel to function at its best. When your blood sugar level drops, your mind will start running on fumes and will feel fuzzy as a result. So if your head is starting to droop, eat a snack that will give you enough energy to take you through the rest of the afternoon. Snacks that combine protein with slow-burning carbs -- like banana slices with peanut butter, or granola with fresh berries -- are best for maintaining your blood sugar levels over the long term.
10. Hang out with upbeat friends. Emotions are surprisingly contagious. People who are constantly negative and down can sap your energy, while those who are always up and excited can give you a real lift.
