so its sunday, and i'm bored out of my mind. i have all of this set up on my computer now, hoping my dad wont come across it and read all of my personal thoughts and feelings because well that would suck. i had kevin and rachel and leena over last night. i really really miss just living with leena. :( we had so much fun living together, i miss it alot. hopefully if i cant go back to school i can just get an apartment with her. that would be the best ever. but back to the story, i had them over because my dad is gone for the weekend and i figured it would be fun. and i think it was. i feel really bad having rachel and kevin over at the same time. its dumb, but i always feel like she will be upset if i dont spend enough time with her, and i he will feel unwanted if i make too much time for rachel. and i want them to get along well adn not feel in competition for my affections so to say. ugh i dont know. i spend so much time with rachel its not even funny, but i mean not in a bad way not even funny as in we litterally just get up meet up and hang out all day. i'm always scared she will burn out on me or something. i'm always so worried that people will burn out on me. i am a good person, but i dont want my freinds to be sick of me you know? ugh i dont know how would i expect you to know. i should have gotten the spell check.
i went to kevins show at the bbc on friday night. it was cool, but that stupid tiff girl writes all over his damned car and is all over him. i hate her. blah. and these kids from lexington were there, so like they were talking to me because i was with kevin. i knwo they woudl have acted like they never knew i existed had i not been there with him. they asked me if i was jesses sister. imagine that...being known as my brothers sister and not the other way around. i knew it woudl happen sooner or later, but i didnt think it would happen this soon. he will always be the more charmed one i guess, that is what i get for being so blase` about life and people and being so antisocial. and right now hes just a big dumb jock. boo on him.
i'm falling soo much in love with kevin. i have no clue when to tell him that. i havent ever really had to be the first one to say it ever, and i've only ever said it to one person. and he said it first because he was the one that had all the experience and stuff. i dont really know when to say it to not scare him. i know i feel it and i want to scream it from the rooftops but i really dont want to scare him. i'm sure he wouldnt be, but still you know, i'm scared and all. geez...i'm going go now, but i think i will be back on later, i have alot to say, but i dont have the attention for writing right now. until next time...

So I'm not really online with my computer when I'm at my dads house, well not from now anyhow, if he ever decides to split the cable like he said he would, but I would really like to continue my online journal, and will most likely just copy and paste from here when I can get online, so I've been home for a few days now, pretty much just over the weekend, and everyone is pretty much letting me be. Its pretty nice I guess, I mean I really do like to be left alone, but I need to know its ok if I want to just be left alone. I don't like wondering around wondering if I'm being looked at badly for not saying anything or being out with the family. I have gross water on my bed and pillow and cover. Its gross and I hate it and want it to dry. But its really really humid and I don't think it will ever dry. Things I hate about being home are, I have no internet on my computer, so if I wanna be online I have to go into the living room, and it sucks, I don't like not knowing where anythign goes, and not knowing what needs to be done when. I don't like not having a key. I don't like not being able to have kevin over whenever I want to. I do not like that I dotn have my own phone and I don't like not having caller id, all of their food is way gross, and I am way sick of packing and unpacking. So enough of the complaining part.
I really wish that rachel would call or kevin would call. Both said that they would and as of yet niether one has. Leena didn't call today either, like she said she would. I hope that she didn't call and have me not pick up because I didn't know she had rung because they have the phone set on two rings before it goes out and I didn't here or get there in time.
I think that what I want to do with my life is get a farmhouse with kevin, leena becca and me. It would be so very nice, just work and grow vegetables, and take care of the kids and have friends over and make dinner every night and just be a big happy family. So I'm going to tell them that we need to buy a big farmhouse and live in the country hiding away from the rest of the world. That would be nice. It sounded excellent in the car this morning while I was stoned. Now it doesn't sound as good, or as much like everyone would want to. I dotn know, I will have to talk to people. Then I can just go to college when I get older, when I'm married or 25 and can get more student aid. Then it will be easier for me to go to school. I can go to isu or something and just do what I want later in life. I will just write when I'm young, or get a job or something. I don't know I'm really just very confused with life and I don't really know what I want to do and no one is really helping me out with it. I don't even really know who I would talk to about any of that or anything. Everyone just wants to yell at me over school stuff. And money stuff, and all sorts of stuff blah blah blah bah bah bah. I hate it all. Maybe I really just want to raise kids and be a mom and a housewife and be content with that for the rest of my life. Or maybe I will do all that and write at the same time so that i can still live out my dreams and make money and then nto have to have a real job in the meantime. Or maybe I will work and support kevin until one of his many projects takes off. Then if his doesn't work out he will have to get a job and let me do some of the stuff I want to do like go to school, and if it does then I can do whatever I want then anyhow. Maybe I will get really really ill and not have to worry about any of this and just die or get a really long break. That would be good. And being sick gets you lots of sympathy and no one really cares of you work or go to school they just want you to get better. Ugh I really don't like the way things are going for me right now. And it royally sucks. Yeah sick really is the way to go. I think that I will go to china and get SARS.
I was really really happy this morning probably because I was smoking, now I'm not so happy, most likely because I am sober and havent really eaten much all day because the food was gross that my dad made. I was really excited about life, but now I'm not so sure. I just wish kevin would call, and then rachel so I can go do something with her. Well that is enough right now, I'm going to save this to a disk and then when my dad goes to bed I will put it online. Until next time…

so i think that i move home today, i think...hopefuly my dad will be in a really good mood, i can only hope. maybe he will come home be like so glad to see you do you need anything lets go get you some stuff...more than likely he will be in a really bad mood because he had to drive all day, and be really crabby and not be nice...suck. i'm going to start using real sentences now.
it's two days until the big show. hes really happy to have me there and says i can do or be wherever i want to be. i'm really kind of nervous because i dont knwo the drill like, where do i go where do i go in, when to be there, god i hope i dont have to pay...i totally cant even go if i have to pay. he wont' make me pay what am i talking about.
rachel is home and its totally great. we have been driving aroudn all day just hanging out, its great, i love it. i'm so happy its not even funny. i hope it doesnt have to end very soon. i'm so happy with kevin, i'm so happy that rachel is home, i'm so happy i have nothign to do for nearly three months. i have to deal with some stuff, but i feel so refreshed from school being out and being abe to relax that i dont really care, and almost feel like i can deal with it stress free. i'm going to be exercising all summer, walking rollerblading swimming, really getting myself in tune. it will be nice. i'm going to eat right, really i am i swear, the new macdonalds is not going to help but heh you know, you cant deny yourself.
last night me and rachel and kevin and will and derrick and wes all hung out at becca and thoms. it was really fun, but also very tiring. it was really hot, we were all really high, and becca never ever shuts up. she of course brought out the bass because kevin was there and ther eis still that small chance that kevin will be like hey come be the bass player in sinckwhole. heh. god i'm so nuts over him, hes soooo awesome...seriously...haha. i'm going to marry him and we are going to be happy forever. and ever. and it will be great. i have to bite my tounge to not tell him that i love him every time i touch him or he talks or anything. you know? egads, hot did i get this far in so quickly, its ok though because i'm pretty sure he feels exactly the same way. when we leave one another, its like one of us has to force ourselves to walk away, because if we dont then we will stand in the street or by a door hugging and kissing for the rest of our lives. and that would be ok. i'm so glad i found him. i think i will make him that cd after all. i may be on later to tell of my moving experience. until next time...

so...i have been packing and moving all day, and not that i am work i can finally rest a little, go figure. i am really sad that i wont be able to be around leena all the time. i mean i guess nto we wont get burnt out on each other, but i will miss so much being able to knock on her door at 2 am and be like lets go to walmart i'm bored. you know? she is so freakin cool i love it. its awesome. i can't wait till summer when we can go to the pool together, and rollerblade all the time. we will run around and just have fun. and rachel will be with us now and that will make it even better. i can't wait until she comes home. this summer will hoepfully be really great once i get my school stuff worked out.
with leaving school, i have figured out that that will leave me and kevin with very minimal "alone time". i want to wait to have sex wtih him, but i don't know if i want to wait that long you know? i dont really know what i want. i know hes not using me for sex or anything, but i still kind of want to wait to make sure my feelings that i'm feeling will really last for the long run. but at the same time i totally want to jump him. i mean why should i punish him for things guys have done to me in the past? why should i punish myself. maybe i will proposition him tonight, see how he feels about it, and then if he's up for it do the deed. or maybe not. i dont know at all. he's so great, i don't want to ruin it by doing it too soon, or waiting too long, or pushing him, or denying him i have no clue. i'll see what he wants and we will go from there. well more later tonight after all that and such. until next time...

so i met jonathan today. he is soo much cooler than allorah. already i like being aroudn him better. he's so smart and knows all about horror movies and stuff. kevin is really great with him too. its pretty much settled that i'm totally going to marry him. *knock on wood.* even down to the fact that he likes pop tart crusts and i only like the middle, thats just how well we fit, i mean its dumb, but its little things like that that just make him great. hes a keeper.
so i move out on thursday. i have to start packing tonight, adn pack all day tomorrow. i'm glad kevin will be here and leena too becaus i can't handle my aunt on my own when it's a situation like this. i know that is bad but god she jsut gets so freakin irritated about stuff like that. she gets all hot and then she gets bitchy. i really hope she does not act dumb in front of kevin. i hope she decides to act like an adult, and not get all whiney and stuff. i'm so tired. but dumb ass is listening to her music as loud as she can to impress everyone. she is singing and its really off key and its really funny. ok i'm out of stuff to say for now, maynbe i'll come back later when i'm nto so sleepy from park time fun..until next time...

today part two
ok..so i'm back...i forgot alot of stuff that i needed to get off my chest. i had a really bad dream abotu my mom last night. it just sucked. i mean it didnt like suck ebcause it was scary, it was really nice, it just upset me that it couldnt last. when i got the email from my dad, i was kind of upset, and i went back to sleep for a little bit. in this dream my mom picked me up. she looked really healthy, and happy. she was not sick looking, btu she was realy thin and fit. and she picked me up from somewhere, and we were driving, adn i was in the back seat or soemthign because i kept just hugging her really tight. she was telling me that i could move in with her because my dad was being dumb. i started crying because i was soo happy. i didnt know what to think. then i woke up and was crying for real. i was so overwhelmed with feelings. i just miss her soo much. i really really need her right now in my life. its not fair that i have to go through my life without a mother. she left just when i was growing into the person that i am today. i miss her so much. people wonder why i am so down all the time. people think that i should be happy, like one of my freinds tells me that i should be happy, because i have freinds and i have kevin, but i woudl trade all of that for one more day with my mom. we didnt get along when she was alive because i was going through that really bad time of early teen years, when i thought i knew everything. god its just not fair.
and that one freind whenever i talk about not having my mom, she always compares it to her dad being a dick sometimes and not calling her all the time. its not the same at all, in any way. if she wants she can pick up the phone herself adn call him, or go herself and see him. i can never do that, i can never ever call my mom up agian. i will never ever see my mom again. she will not be there to see me get married, she will never see me graduate from school, she will never see any of it. and i feel cheated. i really need to talk to someone about it, because i hid all this stuff away for so long, because in high school i never talked to anyone about it. i thought i was ok. i told myself i was ok, i told everyone i was ok. so everyone thought i was ok, everyone thinks i'm ok still, they joke abtou it even. but i am being torn up inside. i am taken over by greif. i am sitting here at work crying right now. i'm trying not too, and i'm hiding it well, btu god it sucks. i need to talk to my dad abotu how much all of this has affected me, and see if it kills himstill too, but i feel like he will nto want to talk abtou or jsut tell me to see soemoen or somethign and not talk to me abotu it.
i just miss her so much and i really missed out on so much with her. i want to tell her all the things that are going on in my life right now, and want her to help me fix it. i know she would at least help me feel better. i dont know, i'm nto looking for pity because so many people go through this every year, but that doesnt mean it doesnt hurt you know? well really now, until next time...

so... moving into my dads has already posed a problem. apparently i am too much of a hassle alredy. he can't even take two mintues to go and get me a key made so that i can move in on the day that i move out of school, i have to stay at grandmas until next tuesday. grr! i just want to email him and be like its not worth my time or yours, so i'm just going to live with grandma. she does not treat me like i am a pain like dad does sometimes. well she does treat me like a pain, but in a joking way. i don't have a bed there, and i cant take a shower, but i am happier when i'm around her. but i get soo depressed when i cant sleep and stuff, and when they fight, but i dont want to not be able to do what i want all summer, i mean i am and adult. so i have to choose between being able to do what i want and feeling like i am at home, btu not having a bed or being able to sleep or gettign to shower whenever i want, or...i could live at my dads, have a bed, and a shower, be close to the pool and not have to listen to grandma and lori fight all day, btu mayeb not being able to be out as late as i want and stuff. grr i hate it. and its so stressful packing and moving. i really hope i can hook up my computer in my room, so that i can have all teh stuff in there, like all my music and my phone numbers and all, i mean even if i dont have internet, its ok, just as long as i can have all my pictures and stuff, i guess i coudl just hook it up and send everythign i need to my dads computer, but thats a pain. i also hope that i can have my own screen so that i can have my own background and stuff, i know its trivial and stupid, but i dontwant to look at motorcycles everytime i want to get online. i will figure it all out i always do.
so moving itself is going to be stressful i think . i have to pack it all up, and hopefully kevin will be able to help me move and stuff, not like matt last year. god that sucked, i had to move all the heavy stuff by myself up all those stairs because he is a lazy fuck. god i complain alot. but still it sucked, he promised, he always promised all sorts of stuff, but never did any of it. i really hope kevin is different, i mean i think he is. he seems pretty motivated, adn busy, i also hope that i dont get in his way of what he wants, because he feels he needs to spend time with me. i worry way too much. new resolutions, no more worrieng and no more complaining, well less of both, i cant jsut quit straight off, you know.
this summer i am going to be in such great shape. we are going to swim adn run adn walk and rollerblade. i hope that i dont get lazy, we always do. i have to eat way better too. i am sick of being uncomfortable with my body. i just want to get rid of my tummy, i have had it for so long. i just want to be able to wear whatever i want, i want to be able to wear cute dresses, and a cute bathing suit and adn just be hot. i mean i am the hot chick with the lip ring, i need the body to match.
i cant wait till kevins show on the 15th. i cant wait for that kid that i fucking hate to even look at me once. god it will so be on then. if he looks at me i'm going to be like what the fuck are you looking at? do you have soemthign to say or something? and then he will be like something something dumb... and i will be like well let me find what my boyfreind thinks of that. and tehn kevin will come kick his ass. and it will rule. i love it. haha. and then i will laugh at the skipping kid. that will rule too. haha. ok until next time...

so weekend number one of summer fun is possibly ruined. rachel may have to go to her dads this weekend to watch her grandma for him. that will suck. i was very excited and now i'm kind of down. i wonder when i am going to move out, probably sat. whenever people can help me. i still have no fucking cluw if i am even coming back to school next year. i screwed up my life soo much i dont even know how to begin to fix it. i think i will email mrs adams this week. i really should. otherwise i have no clue what i'm going to do. she will help me and understand.. and give me advice, actual advice. i shoudl have dled the fucking spell check.
so other than the parts of my life that are totally fucked up, the other parts are pretty fucking cool. namely, kevin. he is fucking awesome. like super awesome. at the movie last night, i just kept looking at him, being like "wow, he's totally mine". it's messed up. i've never felt like this before about anyone. it's almost overwhelming. i had this talk with him about me being used by guys in previous relationships, like guys nto really being interested in me for me, knowing that they really only wanted me for sex and such. he was very sweet about it. and not in a jerkish "hey baby thats too bad what can i do to make you feel better" way. he said hes too timid to even be like that. i'm totally gonna marry this one if i get the chance. and once again i'm sounding like my boyfreind runs my world
becca is annoying the piss out of me as usual. she is of course being fucking weird abotu me and kevin again. i wish she woudl just be like "it shoudl have been me not you." i'm waiting for her to use me to try and get into shows for free and get to hang out with the band afterwords. i dont really knwo what to do at the shows. i dont know if i will be in the way or what you know? god i really need to stop worrying. ugh...he will be happy just to have me there. he will tell me where he needs me and what he needs me to do tomake verythignbest for him. i mean it is his show and all. i just want to be there for him, to hug him and stuff after his show, because i know hes all upset kinda when hes done. enough about him. enough about everything. until next time...

so today was kind of a good day. better than the past few. i went with leena to her grandparents house, adn it was fun, but i thought too much on the ride home. i always think too much. that is what always ends up bringing me down. i wish sometimes i could just turn off my head. like the dumb people that i see, that i know had to have turned off thier brains before they do certain things, that just have that dull glaze over thier faces and a fake smile. going to the shining with kevin and others. don't really know who yet. i havent' seen him in a few days, well i did the ohter day for a little bit, and ithat s good because we just started dating, and i don't want to get too overwhelmed with the thought of "us". i mean really i've only known him a few weeks. i mean i know of him and my freind becca is really good friends, er was really good friends with him, so i know like i odnt have to be wary of him because i dont knwo him very well, but we jsut get on so well that i'm not too worried abotu that. btu i dont want us to get in too far too soon, so that we like ruin it for ourselves. i like him soo much and i know soon i am going to madly in love with him, but i really want it too be goos and last a long time, so i dont want to rush any part of it. but i am taking him to the movie and making him dinner, adn he feels bad because i'm doing that for him, but he's my boyfreind, and i know he has to spend his money on other things, like his band and more inportantly his son. i can totally live wthout dates and stuff and if i want to do something, why shoudltn i pay? i mean i was my idea to go. i know it will pay of fin the end, and not in a liek hey i'm going to get something out of this, but iknow he will know that i really care abotu him if i do nice little things for him. yeah so enough obout kevin for now, i sound like i'm obsessed with my boyfreind or something, or liek my world revolves around him, but everyone who knows me knows that it doesnt and that i deserve this with him, and i do so its cool. i just hope that i dont mess it up by having to go to jail because i'm going to kill the dude that lives next to me. he has such awful taste in music. i'm sick of the justin timberlake wake up calls. until next time...

Wu and Wang present at international conference
Erxi Wu, assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences, presented a poster titled "PDGFR alpha and PDGFR beta Differentially Regulate Cell Proliferation and Migration/Invasion in Medulloblastoma Cells" at the 2009 International Association for Biological and Medical Research annual meeting in Boston on Nov 19. Fengfei Wang, senior research associate in Wu's laboratory, is first author for the poster.
"Our presented data suggest that platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) alpha and PDGFR beta play different roles in cell proliferation and migration/invasion in medulloblastoma brain tumor cells. These studies also highlight the potential of targeting PDGFRs signaling therapy in medulloblastoma," Wu said, "We are excited about these findings, and we are in the process of writing a manuscript."
The International Association for Biological and Medical Research is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2002. The association is registered and headquartered in Boston. Its major mission is to provide a platform of professional interaction and collaboration among the international biomedical research community. Wu served as president from 2002-03.
Wu's laboratory research interests include tumor therapeutic targets, drug discovery and biomarkers. Both Wu and Wang joined NDSU in December 2008. Prior to joining NDSU, both Wu and Wang worked at Harvard University.

Top Local Tips for Monteverde
Un camino difícil y cansador Manejar con calma, despacio, son 35km difíciles y al final está el premio, un klugar increíble.
A Blast in the Air A must is the canopy tour with Sky Trek!! It was a blast in the sky. We were high in the sky and high on adrenaline. The company has really trained their staff well. Our guides, Carlos and Elmer were fantastic. I heard other companies had many participants in their group for the canopy tour. Our group had 11 and it was perfect. We didn't have to wait long to go on the lines. Our guides made both the skywalk and the zip lines so much fun. I wanted to do it again the next day.
Monteverde is spectacular! Renting a car is the best way to get there but make sure you have plenty of time. The roads are tricky and mountainous and not for the faint of heart. if you have a sense of adventure however, you will enjoy the trip!

Decorating on a Budget
If you're decorating on a budget, try incorporating some of these budget-friendly accents into your home. They're the perfect way to make over your space without spending a fortune.
Luxe Lighting for Less
You could pay $150 or more for this type of contemporary chandelier. But the Knappa pendant from IKEA is just as fetching for a mere $30.
Knappa Pendant, IKEA; 800-434-4532.
Elegant Blue
Embrace your love of deep color with Ace Hardware's Decadent Blue (starting at $22 per gallon) — a shade so supersaturated, it makes even A.M. coffee feel special.
Ace Royal Interior Paint in Decadent Blue (F41), Ace Hardware; acehardware.com.
Sleek and Affordable Chairs
The shapely seat of IKEA's Gilbert chair ($50) makes a comfy perch; its painted veneer is easy to clean. Ideal for dinner parties or weeknight meals.

Ensure that guests stay even longer with soft chenille cushions (Kohl's, $25). Their tonal, textured stripes echo the furniture's sleek lines.

Here is our latest recipe Paleo Drunken Woodchuck® Chicken! Let me take a minute today to talk about our new websites, coming to a town near you…Go Paleo! Powered by Paleo Effect. We're trying to make it easy on you and group together some of our favorite Paleo things. We'll be combining the great recipes on Paleo Effect with maps of local Crossfit gyms, CSAs, Fresh Markets! California…you're up next! Stay tuned, we're launching Go Paleo California in 15 days!
Spanish word of the day: el pollo (chicken)
Some people will say that grilling chicken is not a recipe and I agree – grilling chicken is an art, not a recipe. There is no exact timing that I could give you to make you cook the perfect chicken because I don't know how big your chicken is or if it is cold outside by the grill or if you have boneless, as opposed to bone-in chicken. What I can do is give you our recipe for marinated chicken, and a guideline for how we like to do things. I hope you enjoy!
Recipe: Paleo Drunken Woodchuck® Chicken
- 6 Chicken Thighs (no drumsticks, bone in)
- ½ Woodchuck ® Amber Cider
- Paleo Adobo Seasoning (enough to dust the chicken on both sides)
- ½ tsp Coconut Crystals (or Honey)
- Heat the grill to high heat or preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a saucepan, combine the Woodchuck ® Amber Cider and coconut crystals to medium-high heat until the coconut crystals are dissolved.
- Coat the chicken with a light dusting of adobo seasoning on all sides and then pour the beer over the chicken. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Grilling: Place the chicken on the grill (leave it open). This should take about 20 minutes total, and you should flip every 5 minutes (roughly, you will need to watch it).
- Oven Baked: Put a little oil down in the pan (or use an oiled grill pan, our favorite because it doesn't allow the chicken to get soggy) and place the chicken on the pan.
- Cook for about 30 minutes at 400, then turn the heat down to 350 and cook for about 15-20 minutes (again, it depends on how big the chicken is, you want the juices to run clear, not pink).
- If your chicken isn't browning enough, turn the heat up to 500 (broil it) for 5 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then serve.
Preparation time: 15 minute(s)
Cooking time: 30 minute(s)
Number of servings (yield): 4

But the Republican state representative who serves North Kingstown and Exeter in the state General Assembly was stopped in her tracks by acute pain on Aug. 2. Today she's still recovering – and very grateful – after a hasty trip to the hospital resulted in emergency surgery and a cancer scare.

NORTH KINGSTOWN – "There is a symptomatic process in place to not clearly identify the issues," said School Committee member Bill Mudge in phone interview this week. "There is a lack of clarity on the issues before us and no one wants to address the problems entirely."
It's the final week of summer for students from North Kingstown and Exeter and what better way to celebrate than a trip to Yawgoo Valley?
In this week's Standard-Times, we wrap up the summer season with a number of big looks ahead.
For one, the town of Exeter is giving serious thought to shaping the future of village development in the area. In addition, URI has just received a $500K grant to focus on cybersecurity, one of the biggest potential threats the country faces going forward.

NORTH KINGSTOWN – It's been 60 years and they're all older, wiser and have learned not to take things too seriously.
North Kingstown High School's Class of 1952 gathered together for their annual reunion at Richard's Restaurant and Pub Monday afternoon and classmates took the afternoon to relax, enjoy lunch and joked about days gone by.
WARWICK – Katerina Tarbox is a woman who, when she walks among the equipment at Gold's Gym, draws admiring stares.
Why not? She's earned them.
At 47, she is a champion bodybuilder and last month won her pro card from the International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFBB) at the Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh.
With not an ounce of fat visible anywhere, the wife of North Kingstown automotive-sales magnate Ed Tarbox and mom of two boys, keeps to a strict diet and workout regimen.

We worked with the Puzzle Impressions team to create a fun puzzle for kids to learn about how several different dietary ingredients help promote a healthy body. The puzzles are 24 piece, full color, 6" wide by 4" tall. So far, all our kids love it! (And so do the big "kids" in the office. ;-)
Why Didn't You Include X, Y, or Z?
This doesn't include zinc, or potassium, or vitamin a, or systemic enzymes, or ____, or ____, etc. Kid's puzzles of farms generally don't include every animal that could be on a farm either. The fact is, it was really difficult to pare down the list to just these 6 nutrients. We didn't want to overwhelm young kids with several dozen items target audience was kids, and the puzzles are only 6 inches wide, so we had to choose our nutrients wisely.
But Magnesium Works on More Than Just Brain and Muscle...
Very true. This was another design constraint. We decided to focus on the primary function of each nutrient. In our opinion, it was better for kids to learn at least one thing about each nutrient, even though the body is a synergistic organism that relies upon the sum of the parts.

Waxing & Waning - Antique Diamond Crescent Brooch
SOLDItem 11373
As we can easily see, the true companion of Brother Moon is not Sister Sun but the diamond. This superb rendition of a Victorian crescent brooch boasts sixty-five old mine cut and shaped diamonds of ovals, rectangles and square cushions.
This is quite an unusual piece as the majority of crescent moon typically have very regular rows of old mine cut diamonds of about the same size and shape. The largest diamond set in this shimmering brooch is approximately .75 to .80 carats with most averaging .03 to .05 carats. Many are larger with some between .15 to .20 carats. The total estimated diamond weight is 3.25 carats of glittering brilliant diamonds with color H-J and clarity SI-VS.
The mount is silver topped 14k yellow gold which displays these exceedingly white and brilliant diamonds to their best. The reverse shows a cleverly mechanism that enables the brooch fittings to be removed using a screw fitting. This indicates that in all probability there was a hair pin or other fitting that accompanied the brooch. If desired, we can have a removable pendant fitting fabricated, thus enabling the brooch also to be worn as a pendant.
This antique brooch, although not exceedingly large in size has a tremendous visual impact that is above all, dazzling in person.
Condition: Very good; three of the smaller diamonds have tiny chips visible with a loupe.
Measurements: 1-1/4 inches (3.2 cm) in length by ½ of an inch (1.1 cm) wide in the middle with a total width of more than 1-1/8 inches (2.7 cm) from the middle to the tip. This antique brooch has a weight of 7.9 grams (5.1 dwt).
Date: Circa 1880 but possibly as early as 1850.
Note: All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since the stones were not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.

I wrote this book with you in mind. I mainly want you to have a good time.
Maybe, just maybe, while you are reading and playing with the gizmos, you might also realize that learning can be fun. Essay writing can be fun (no way). Research can be fun (uh uhhhh).
If you would like to write me, please feel free to do so. An email contact address is located throughout the book (or, click here).
If you need help with an essay, write me. I can write essays out the wazzoo. I will do my best to give you some pointers.

n The initiative taken by local women, by destroying the chhaupadi shed, is commendable. This is a social problem and I am totally against keeping the damsel in a shed like an animal. It is an ill-practice still prevalent in the Far and Mid Western regions of Nepal due to illiteracy. Chhaupadi pratha must be abolished from society. Our mentality should also change. Women should participate in community programmes, conduct awareness programmes, women commissions should also care about social problems. Likewise, wide publicity of existing laws for general public awareness and education, radio, TV, newspaper, students, NGOs and INGOs, social worker have important roles to play. We should unite to solve such social problems.
— Pawan Ram Lamichhane
n Despite thousands of social organisations working for women, children and deprived people, ill-practices like chhaupadi still exist in our country. In my opinion, the agents of God, priest and religious gurus are to be blamed as they have misinterpreted the holy books and their seeds of misinterpretation have led us on a vague path. 2013 is the right time for women to agitate against women violation, as there have been several cases of women violation in south Asian countries.
All my Nepali mothers and sisters, raise your voice against this ill-practice of our society, which has put hurdles on the way of women development.
— Amar Pradhan
n We have heard news about women dying due to the chhaupadi and lately this news about a teenager who died in chhaupadi is a matter to be ashamed of. It is because people are conservative. In our society, social discrimination has bound women to keep quiet and they have adopted it as a rule of our society. Most of the NGOs and INGOS and the related organisations held awareness programme against chhaupadi in different VDCs and rural areas but still we hear deaths of women by snake bites and cold. Therefore, the government should make a legal policy. All the people should think about it to protect women from dying from chhaupadi. It is just made by people and conservative society. Parents, society, related organisations and the government should take responsibility for it.
— Laxman Kumar Pariyar (Das)
n There is no one to blame but our own culture itself. When it comes to chhaupadi, many of far western villages in Nepal are still following it as just another shelter for women especially during their menstruation and post delivery duration. Anthropologists in Nepal suggest chhaupadi as their culture.
Kudos to those who dared to protest against these deep rooted practices in the name of culture recently, though it was late and cost some innocent lives. To stop such ill-practices, educating women is the first priority and then awareness should follow. The government should enforce law regarding women's rights and form a fast track advocacy body against domestic violence, sexual violence, injustices et cetera. If implemented effectively, certainly these activities will help in women empowerment and make a difference.
— Leela Khanal
n Chhaupadi is one of the ill-practices of our society. With the change in the thinking of people, such ill-practices can be changed. Uneducated people still follow these types of practices. It was our culture years ago because our ancestors were narrow minded. However, today we have to protest against these blind beliefs because we are educated and broad minded to distinguish between wrong and right. Therefore, the action taken by local women by destroying the shed is praise worthy. Protest is necessary to eliminate such practices. The government should declare such practices as illegal. Punishment should be given to those who create such violence against women in the name of culture.
— Kajal Beriwal
n Keeping women in chhaupadi was an old tradition of society, regarding the hygiene of other members of society and was a preventive measure when the optimum facilities were not available. However, time has been changed and so should life be reoriented. The action of local women is obviously praiseworthy but not everyone is convinced, which is the output of frustration and for that our illiterate society, insensible programme of Health Ministry and inefficient awareness programmes launched by different health NGOs/INGOs are the culprits. The real stakeholder's institutions must be taken into account to fight against such ill-practices of the society.
— Prem Arvind
n Due to widespread superstition and ignorance chhaupadi, badhi, deuki, kamaiyya systems are specifically widespread in the mid-west and far-west regions of Nepal. These practices should be eliminated from
Local women rebelled against chhaupadi by destroying the shed for their welfare. The government should implement rules and launch programmes to raise public awareness. Everyone should know that social problems can be solved through our joint efforts and collaboration. We should start right from our family and community. Whoever goes against this should be discouraged and even penalised legally.
— Aditi Shrestha
n It is sad to hear that ill-practices like chhaupadi is still prevalent in some rural areas of our country despite all those educational and awareness programmes. This step of local women rebelling against chhaupadi by destroying the shed is appreciable. Even though it was a small effort, what matters most is at least they initiated and raised their voice.
These ill-practices are not going to be eliminated overnight, but that does not mean that it is impossible. Until and unless people change their attitude, nothing is going to work. From the government level, enforcing strict laws and implementing continuous educational and awareness programmes could be helpful.
— Retina Shrestha
n Chhaupadi pratha is a centuries old ritual of banishing Nepali women and girls during their monthly menstruation. In conjunction with the brutal temperatures and unsanitary conditions, women are left completely isolated, which brings issues about life threatening situations. The taboo associated with this natural process for women has contributed to a widespread lack of knowledge about physical hygiene and female menstruation, especially in the rural areas of Nepal.
Even though the Supreme Court ordered the government to enact a law "abolishing the practice of chhaupadi" in September 2005, the court rule has been largely ineffective. In March 2011, the Nepali government allocated $15 million to improve public health and sanitation. However, centuries old cultural practices of the Nepali people are difficult to abolish, though local women of Achham rebelled against it by destroying their sheds.
— Kisan
n Rituals and cultural practices are for making life comfortable and disciplined. Chhaupadi is a vivid example of ill-practices existing in our society. I strongly support women for what they did against this custom. No one else but we should dare to come out of these evil practices and support life. I believe education plays a vital role to make people understand 'right and wrong'. The government and society should pay more attention regarding women education and public awareness. It will also help people to accept new ideas and broaden their view. I do not believe in blaming anyone but appeal to all Nepalis (men and women) to work in unity against such ill-practices and say 'Yes' for a healthy and happy life style.
— Sujata Jnawali
n It is doubtful that chhaupadi has religious value, importance and scientific reasons in society. I salute that group of women who dismantled chhaupadi sheds in the community.
— Arjun Prasad Tiwari
n Hats off to the local women who rebelled against chhaupadi. When there is community realisation, then we can certainly eliminate all sorts of ill-practices prevalent in our community. United we stand, divided we fall so, who will dare to go against bad practices when whole community is against it? Ill-practices are deeply rooted in our community. When the community participates in uprooting these ill-practices, no one will never ever find soil to spread its root.
— Suyasha Koirala
n The action of local women against chhaupadi is obviously a good move. Isolation from home, compulsion to live in sheds with foul odour with no proper care is the evil aspects of chhaupadi. Such evil practice needs to be eliminated by carrying out awareness programmes. NGOs should work abreast with INGOs and bring different schemes to discourage chhaupadi. All the authorities concerned need to inculcate the sense of responsibility in them.
— Pratik Pokharel
n Chhaupadi is one of the social evils, where women or girls are isolated from home and family during menstruation. Menstruation is a physical phenomenon. So, I don't think there should be any system to isolate women during that period.
Painful death of Sharmila Bhusan of Achham is a very heartbreaking incident. I think the action of the local women against chhaupadi system by destroying the sheds is a very effective action because these types of social evils must be eradicated. We should work united to solve it. People should be informed about the hazards of this problem as well as their role towards the solution. It may take some time to change social rules that are deeply rooted in the society but we definitely can kick it out if we all work together.
— Sandhya Dangol
n Chhaupadi is a baseless and disgusting practice which not only makes women physically weak but also mentally and socially. It is a sin committed by the society and is a humiliating act against women. We should be ashamed to hear that even today girls like Sharmila Bhusan are compelled to lose their life due to such practices. I support the action taken by local women. It is not easy to eliminate such practices whose roots are spread deeply in society. Educating every individual and raging a voice against such violence can eradicate such practices. Everyone should know that menstruation is a natural and normal process that every girl has to go through. Girls themselves should play the lead role and men should be supportive in order to eradicate such ill-practices from society.
— Khudang Bijay
n In the 21st century a teenage girl dies in chhaupadi shed shows how backward Nepal is. After this incident local women rebelled against chhaupadi by destroying the shed which shows that they want change and I think with more determination they can definitely eliminate this ill-practice prevalent in Nepali society.
Awareness programmes aimed at the illiterate mass and implementation of strict rules against chhaupadi practice can be helpful. We all know, we live in a society and we ourselves made all the social cultures and practices. We can definitely modify those if we are not comfortable following them. Therefore, we ourselves are responsible for all these ill-practices in society. Until we change our minds, such ill-practices will push us backward
— Meetum Bantawa Rai
n Chhaupadi, a black spot in the modern Nepali society, and an ill practice that has no scientific ground, must be eradicated as soon as possible from our society. For this, women must be aware and ready to fight against such ill-practices. I think the demise of a teenager Sharmila Bhusan must have awakened local women to some extent. This action can be taken as a good sign of women's movement against chhaupadi and other gender inequalities prevailing in the Nepali society. This small movement of courageous women of Achham must be recognised, saluted and supported by everyone, especially women and feminists, by organising protests and movements in rest of Nepal very soon. It may take some time but it is certain that women will triumph over such ill-practices hence preparing a ground for a prosperous
— Pradeep Aryal
n What people did in Achham was really appreciable and it is an initiation against such ill-practices like chhaupadi. Their action was the outcome of the pain and suffering they have been dealing with since long. People should be taught that menstruation is just a normal biological process.
NGO'S and INGO'S should launch effective programmes in the target region regarding eliminating those practices. We see activists chanting sweet words in front of huge crowd in five star hotels but they really don't bother to go and observe such practices. If the uneducated crowd in the rural parts of the country is made aware, that would be a milestone for eliminating such ill-practices. An individual alone cannot bring radical change, but a group of people can.
— Rajiv Sapkota
n I think the reaction of the local women in Achham was the realisation and reply towards extreme dominance by their culture and society. It is their anger towards the ill system of the patriarchal society and a step towards liberation of women. Such incidents are still prevalent in many remote areas in Nepal where women are not treated as humans. Just because of the sick view of the society, women are exploited and excluded. As an answer to the blind society like ours, these women should initiate to unite and fight for themselves. They should also be aware of what this ill-culture is doing to them and should take initiatives to end such practices. It is a rewarding act conducted by the women in Achham. They should be encouraged to end other such practices in society.
— Mridu Adhikari
n It's high time that local women of Achham stepped up against chhaupadi. Their action is praiseworthy at a time when the so called Women Welfare Organisations have only restricted their activities to mere speeches and nothing more. Compelling someone to live in such sheds just because they go through menstruation is simply lack of education and blindfolded continuation to the age old
Such ill-practices can be eliminated from society through intensive public awareness campaigns and above all educating the conservative minded people. It is said 'Charity Begins At Home' so each of us are responsible to make sure such ill-practices come to an end in our neighbourhood.
— Darshan Neupane
n Keeping girls in chhaupadi sheds during her first menstruation itself symbolises the absurdity. I mean it is a natural phenomenon that every girl faces during her fertility span. I don't think making it a big issue is a good idea. It's a superstition which can only be eliminated by people's participation. Recently women started the campaign against the chhaupadi system which is an outstanding work. It's time to strangle the superstition and move on. At last, hats off to those women for doing a superb job to uproot the chhaupadi out of our society.
— Rajan Sah
n During menstruation, women are compelled to stay in a shed far from home. This practice is deeply rooted in the remote regions of Nepal. This evil law made by patriarchal society is difficult to destroy and eradicate completely. After the incident of Sharmila Bhusan's death in Achham, local women revolted against chhaupadi by destroying the sheds. This is a good start. Moreover, to remove this system totally, we must be patient. We make the rules and we have the right to destroy those too. Chhaupadi was created by the society and it can be destroyed. For this, it is necessary to educate the society.
— Ganesh Thapa
n Women of our county are bound by different unethical and superstitious beliefs. Ill-practices like chhaupadi is a curse on our society and the country. The action taken by the people of Achham is appreciable. It shows their anger and anguish towards the long superstitious traditional belief. It also highlights that the problem of a particular place or region can only be solved with the involvement of the people of that
We can eliminate such ill-practices by providing proper education to the females of the country. We should make them aware about their rights and also motivate them to get it. To make them economically strong, they should be provided a job. I neither blame the government nor the social organisation because it is a time when we are not given rights but we have to take it.
— Roshan Tiwari
n Chhaupadi — a dangerous practice isolates woman during and after childbirth and during menstruation too. They are banished for 11 days away from family members, causing critical danger and increasing complications that leads to maternal and child mortality. This type of old and unreasonable practice should be totally abolished. Huge awareness programmes must be launched in those regions and government should formulate and implement strict laws against those who practice chhaupadi. And women of Achham already have started the revolution against chhaupadi by destroying the sheds.
— Rasbin Rijal
n In my opinion, the action taken by local women against the system of chhaupadi by destroying the sheds is really praiseworthy and also a needful decision taken by them. Such type of system where women going through menstrual period are forcefully made to live in a shed is not good and it must be brought to an end everywhere in the Nepali society. In order to end such type of evil practices, social awareness should be a must that will be helpful to change the mindset of the public. The social system is mainly responsible for it as many Nepalis are illiterate due to which such types of malpractices get encouragement. Hence, education plays a vital role in order to do away with those malpractices.
— Pratik Shrestha

The Jamie Oliver Food Foundation Announces 2nd Annual Food Revolution Day
LOS ANGELES, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On Friday, May 17th, celebrity chef and food activist Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Day will happen in kitchens, homes, and communities around the world, sparking conversations about real food. It is a day to inspire people to share their food and cooking knowledge and resources to help others take steps toward healthier lifestyles.
The Jamie Oliver Food Foundation is also spreading awareness through many regional efforts throughout the U.S. Today, April 10 th, Whole Foo ds Market ® ( wholefoodsmarket.com) will be sponsoring a Community Giving Day, which will benefit the foundation. All Northern California and Reno stores will be participating!
And from now until the end of April, food action supports can log onto Prizeo ( www.prizeo.com/us) and make a donation for a chance to win a cooking lesson with Jamie Oliver in London, all expenses paid! The campaign has already raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation.
"Food Revolution Day is all about people power. I was amazed last year when we managed to get over 1,000 events organized across the globe in only a few weeks; but this year, the response has truly been incredible. Food Revolution has reached 75 countries, which shows that the demand for better food education is a global phenomenon," states Jamie Oliver. "For me, Food Revolution Day is all about building better relationships with great food, and whether that's through hosting a big event like a farmers' market or a small dinner with freshly prepared food, it's all about giving people knowledge and confidence to cook from fresh ingredients and to make better choices about what they feed themselves and their families."Cook it, share it, live it! The first Food Revolution Day, which united all of Chef Oliver's global charitable work, took place last year with more than 1,000 events in 664 cities across 62 countries. Now is the time for individuals, schools, businesses, and organizations to plan to host and attend activities in their local areas to combat the obesity and health epidemics affecting more than 500 million adults worldwide, but more importantly children:
- Food and nutrition education is not compulsory in the US, and elementary kids on average get just 3.4 hours a year.
- This year alone, more than 2.8 million people will die as a result of being obese, while over 2.6 million children will die from malnutrition.
- There are already more than 43 million overweight or obese children under the age of 5. By 2020, if the current epidemic continues unabated, this will rise to nearly 60 million.
