I'm going through a weird time lately. Work is crazier and more stressful than ever (there are over 16 of us now involved in Sway Group - I need to invent a word that conveys that weird mix of stress, pressure, pride and overwhelmedness). I haven't been exercising and I haven't been cooking. These are usually the signs that I'm heading into a hard time, yet there are other aspects in which my life is so in control.

I've been taking vitamins daily for well over a month now. I floss every night. I love where we live and I watch less TV, read more, and just really appreciate the amazingness of everything that is around me.

Yet, I know I need to bring the cooking and activity back into my world. This week I am starting with the cooking. Dylie and I headed to the San Rafael Farmer's Market this morning and stocked up. Here's the plan:

Sunday (tonight): Grilled Atlantic salmon, Baba Rice, grilled asparagus

Monday (St. Patrick's Day!): Corned Beef (I usually like making my own corned beef, but I bought a corned brisket at the Farmer's Market, and it looks AWESOME), cabbage, butter ball potatoes

Tuesday: Chicken on the grill, melted fennel and onion (making this up - not sure of the recipe yet), cauliflower rice

Wednesday: Spaghetti All' Amatriciana, salad, garlic bread

Thursday: Grilled Pork Chops, roasted beets and brussels, macaroni salad

Friday: PIZZA NIGHT!

 Last week, our family departed Chicago in a caravan of two cars en route to our new home in Marin County, California. The boys were in one car and the girls (plus our token boy Wally the dog) in the other.

The journey was almost exactly 2,400 miles and I can state with certainty that it is something that both Dylan and I will remember forever. While it is never ideal to drive 10 hours a day, every day for almost four days straight, we kind of had a blast.

As anyone with a tween will tell you, an almost-12-year-old is a moody creature, prone to outbursts and eye rolls for really no reason at all. We had virtually none of that on this trip. I let Dylie sit up front with me and she was awesome. She played DJ, switching between Sirius/XM and my iphone (a mixture of Spotify and my iTunes library). She took photos and uploaded them to Instagram and Facebook, dutifully hashtagging each one with our #wileysgowest hashtag (see the full set here).

When the scenery became monotonous and the trip threatened to bore us out of our minds, she came up with inventive ways to shake things up. We spent one memorable hour listening to her favorite songs from preschool and she even let me escape Hits One on XM a few times with some fun runs on Classic Vinyl and the Grateful Dead station. I was even permitted to sing at the top of my lungs to "Me and Bobby McGee."

We also managed to choreograph a seated, one armed (I needed at least one hand on the wheel) dance routine to "Blurred Lines," which we heard approximately 8,642 times.

The picture above was taken at Wall Drug in South Dakota on our second night. It perfectly summarizes the fun and easy attitude that my Dylie Bean had throughout the whole trip. Love that girl.

On Saturday night, we decided to stay in and cook dinner. Dylan was at a sleepover, so it was just me and the two guys. We had some prime ribeye steaks from Costco, so we knew that would be the focus, but it was up to me to come up with a side dish. My first instinct was some sort of potato dish. Unfortunately, when I checked our potato supplies, I realized that we only had one pound of potatoes which wouldn't be enough. It was time to get creative.

When Michael and I went to Paris last month, I spent an hour in G. Detou, one of the world's most amazing grocery stores. One of the treats I came home with was a tin of French de Puy lentils:

 Lentil de Puy are a great treat if you've never tried them (and you don't need to buy them in Paris - they are available at many specialty grocery stores in the U.S. - I have even purchased them at Whole Foods). They keep their shape and texture when cooked. Typical lentils get soft and mushy, which is great when you are making a soup and stew, but not ideal when you want the lentils for a salad.

So, back to my story. I had one pound of potatoes and I had the lovely tin of lentils. I decided to combine a couple of recipes from The New York Times Cookbook; a Mediterranean lentil salad and a French potato salad. French potato salads are served slightly warm or at room temperature and are made with olive oil instead of mayonnaise. They are much more suited to cold weather than the standard mayo-based varieties.

The salad was easy to prepare and delicious. I hope you love it as much as we did!

Lentil Potato Salad

1/2 cup de Puy lentils
1 pound new (red) potatoes, scrubbed and cut into a 1/4 inch dice
1 Tb onion, finely minced
Vinaigrette of your choice (I used this one)
2 carrots, finely diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
salt and pepper to taste

Combine lentils with three cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 - 20 minutes (you want them tender but not mushy). Drain and set aside.

Cover potatoes with cold water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cook until tender. Drain and place in a large bowl. Toss with the minced onion and a few splashes of vinaigrette. Allow the vinaigrette to soak in a bit. Taste. If there is no flavor, add some more (the potatoes soak up quite a bit - by dressing them while they are warm, you insure great flavor).

Add the carrots and celery and lentils. Toss with more vinaigrette and the salt and pepper, tasting as you go. This is a very flexible recipe - you will want to play around with it until it is seasoned to your tastes.

Enjoy!

We didn't have a good morning. It's day four of the Chicago teachers' strike, so the routine we were so happy to return to last week is shot. Additionally, Michael is oversees on a business trip, Dylan insisted that she had no pants available to wear, Max wouldn't eat breakfast, no one could tell me what they wanted for lunch, and I'm having one of those weeks where I'm just super stressed about having a start-up and all of the uncertainties that entails.

By 8:30am, all three of us were crying hysterically. Not my proudest moment.

I finally got the kids out to their "strike camp" and headed off to my annual dermatology appointment. Now, I pride myself on having crazy low blood pressure. It's so low that when I went in to get Lasik surgery eight years ago, I wasn't allowed to take a valium as it would have made me too loopy. So, anyway, there I am at the doctor, and they pulled out the blood pressure cuff. I was soon informed that my blood pressure was a bit high.

Yeah. A morning like we had can do that to a person.

Once I got back home, I decided I needed to so something to calm myself down a bit prior to jumping into my work day. I needed to do some chopping. That's when I pulled out the crockpot and the smoked turkey legs. I love this dish because it is hearty, and delicious and easy and makes the house smell fabulous. I also love that it uses (cheap) dried beans but doesn't require overnight soaking. I made things a bit more complicated this morning because I added vegetables. As I said, I needed some time with my chefs knife. The food is now happily cooking away and I'm quite sure my blood pressure is back to its freakishly low self.

Red Beans with Smoked Turkey Legs

One large or two smallish smoked turkey legs (the ones I used today were purchased at Whole Foods, but they often have these at our grocery store as well)
One bag red kidney beans, rinsed and picked through
Veggies, chopped (optional) - today I used one onion, three stalks of celery and a few peppers including one jalapeno

Put the turkey legs into your crockpot. Top with the beans and veggies. Cover everything with water and cook on low for 6-8 hours. About an hour before it's done, pull out the turkey legs, remove the meat from them and put them back into the crockpot. (Be careful with the bones -the legs have these really weird spindly needle bones throughout.)

Serve with rice.

Note: we also like to top ours with a healthy sprinkling of Tony Chachere's creole seasoning.

Second week in a row of meal planning! We did a great job last week, and actually made everything I had planned to make with the exception of pizza. Pizza night still happened, but we grabbed takeout instead of making it ourselves.

So, I sat down once again and made a weekly menu. We didn't take a trip to the Farmer's Market this weekend, so the menu wasn't as challenging (I didn't have to search for a recipe for Lamb's Quarters). BUT! Our CSA (community supported agriculture) starts up again this weekend, and I can't wait. I literally let out a "woot!" when I got the email notificiation from them.

Then go read her brilliant meal planning advice here.

Helen Jane is one of those people who just brings smiles wherever she goes. She is truly lovely. And she lives in St. Helena, in Napa Valley. I love her lifestyle. I was hanging out on her blog earlier and decided that I really would love to get back into meal planning.

I truly hope this story is actually weird to anyone other than myself. I feel like I've waited so long to share it that it doesn't even matter anymore, but oh well, here goes...

Before we left for Mexico, I told Dylan that she absolutely had to find a friend on day one of the trip. When Dylan doesn't have a friend on vacations, she is a total pain in the ass. When she does have a friend? A total delight. (translation: she lets me sit on my ass reading without demanding that I entertain her).

To her credit, she totally followed my direction. Within 15 minutes of our first day at the pool, she had introduced herself to a girl her age, and voila - instant BFF for the week. Dylan and Lauren did everything together. They wore matching black sun hats, they went swimming, they drank a gajillion Miami Vices (non-alcoholic strawberry daquiri mixed with pina colada) and they chilled out in the hot tub. They also did what all tween girly girls do - they giggled a LOT.

So, one afternoon, Lauren headed into town, and Dylan was forced to hang out with us on the chaise lounges (see above photo). Shortly after she settled down, one of the other vacationing moms at the hotel came over to her and asked if she had been in the hot tub earlier. At this point, Michael and I had our radar up, as it's kind of disconcerting for another adult to address your child in your presence without even acknowleding said child's parents. Dylan responded that she had indeed been in the hot tub earlier. The mom then proceeded to lecture Dylie for being mean to her kids! Apparently, her kids had told her that two girls in black hats were making fun of them in the hot tub, saying that they were ugly, etc. etc.

Now, I know my kid. Had my SON told me she was mean? I would have totally believed it. But would Dylan ever be hurtful to someone who wasn't a family member? NEVER. That's just not her. She is one of the most empathetic people I have ever met (adults included), and is super sensitive to bullying of all kinds.

Michael told the mom as such (I was sitting in stunned silence with my mouth hanging open), explaining that our kid would never behave that way, and telling her that it must be some sort of misunderstanding. The mom responding by turning to Dylan (again, not to us), and saying, "Well, if you did do it, you know that it's wrong to do that right?" and then she left. The three of us were totally shocked and kind of weirded out by the entire interaction.

Flash forward to 10 minutes later. The same mom approaches us again. And once again, she goes straight to Dylan. This time, it's with an apology. Apparently, her kids MADE THE WHOLE THING UP. My guess is that they were intimidated by two cute girls giggling in the hot tub and assumed that the girls were giggling about them. The mom also apologized to us. It was super, super awkward.

For the rest of the week, I did my best to avoid the mom. I was on vacation. Awkward encounters had no place on my vacation.

Well, then we show up at the airport. And guess who is at our gate? Awkward mom.

Dylan was horrified, and asked me if I thought the family lived near us in Chicago. I told her they could easily be flying to Chicago to transfer somewhere else. And then in one of my snottiest moments ever (and I apologize in advance to those this offends), I said, "and even if they do live in Chicago, I am QUITE SURE they live in the suburbs." (I know, I know).

Later that day, we land at O'Hare, and I have to run to the customs bathroom so that Dylan can continue her food poisoning vomit fest (it was fun!). Guess who walks into the bathroom? Awkward mom. It was getting to be ridiculous.

A week or two after our vacation, I took Dylan to our local skating rink for the dress rehearsal of the ice show. The rink is the only indoor public rink in the city and is located about a mile and a half from our house. I get her skates on and put her on the ice, and I get ready to leave the rink. And who do you suppose I see? FRICKIN' AWKWARD MOM IS AT OUR RINK.

Now, to her credit, she called me over, apologized again for everything, and told me that it was one of the more horrifying moments of her life. We ended up chatting for about 10 minutes (she was actually kind of nice), and things ended on an OK note. Turns out, her kids go to the school just north of ours (NOT in the suburbs), and we know a ton of people in common.

And that is the final saga in our Mexico trip. Weird, right?

Did any of you see the article about Fishers Island in the New York Times travel section on Sunday? It's here, if you missed it. To summarize, a mom took her 18-year-old daughter to spring break in Florida, splurging on a very upscale hotel. There were multiple issues at the hotel, and I couldn't help but be reminded of our own spring break debacle. The line that really resonated was this one,

One of the problems with staying at an exorbitantly priced resort is that the rates raise the bar so high that any slight or sign of neglect feels like betrayal; flaws that might be overlooked at a more modestly priced hotel are hard to forgive when a single night can cost more than the airfare.

That is exactly how I felt at the CasaMagna in Puerto Vallarta. Granted, it wasn't anywhere near as expensive as the hotel this woman stayed at, but since it was a five star joint, we had certain expectations.

I also found myself relating to the writer's desire to share her experiences with other guests:

I wanted to buttonhole another guest to see if I was overreacting.

Michael and I spent the entire week saying, "Are we overreacting? Are we crazy?"

We do have one more story to tell about our Mexican adventure, and this one is a doozy, I promise!

I had a perfect Mother's Day weekend.Friday night was filled with our new favorite show, American Pickers and yummy delivery from a vegetarian Indian restaurant. On Saturday, we had breakfast at The Bagel (love that place) and then rushed home to spend the day laying around doing nothing. It was heavenly. I told Max that my big wish for Mother's Day was to lay on the couch with him watching cooking shows on PBS. He complained a bit, but then complied.

Later that evening, Michael and I headed out for date night at a steakhouse downtown, and then we walked over to Nordstrom's where I got to pick out my present (a new purse - I am a very lucky woman). On Mother's Day itself, we headed out to the suburbs to do our food shopping at Meijer, which was one of our favorite supermarket chains in Ohio and Michigan. Sadly, the one we picked was pretty small and lame, but it was nice to get out of the city, albeit for an hour.

When we got back to the city, we walked over to one of our local restaurants for brunch outside, and then Max and I headed over to the garden center to pick out veggies and flowers for planting. After planting everything we bought, we enjoyed a lovely barbecued dinner with my brother. It was a great weekend.

This morning, I was feeling a bit under the weather, and Max came upstairs to say goodbye before school. He also handed me two laminated sheets that he brought home last week and forgot to give me yesterday. One was a handprint with a cute poem. The other was a list of the Top 10 Reasons He Loves His Mom:

10: She puts me to bed on time

9: She makes me a good lunch

8: She's good at being a mom

7: She's nice

6: She wakes me up in time for school

5: She makes me feel safe

4: She takes care of me

3: She's funny

2: She's a very good cook

1: She loves me

You can't get much better than that.

This is my 3rd interview…I've turned down 2 job offers because well let's face it, if I'm losing my insurance it better be for something more than $200 every two weeks. I mean yeah I'm not getting hours right now, but I still have insurance, and good stuff too. I'm really hoping this Friday the interview goes well, they offer me a good amount, and I can find insurance to switch to. Here goes nothing…

I may be doing this one really really soon :) but I'm kind of sad in a way…I've been there so long that it's going to be weird leaving…
I can't believe all the crap that this one person started and now they turned around and said it was all me starting the crap…Uh why don't you do your fucking job and there won't be any problems…But whatever, it should be more peaceful without her talking to me…But seriously I need out of there…
well now I'm really not in a hurry to leave Target. I just started dating a co-worker and well it's more time together. But since I don't get many hours as is, it won't be too much of a problem. :) but good thing is we were taking it slow so for 4 months it was harmless flirting, then we got serious. So yeah I'm not leaving Target anytime soon :)
since things are getting a bit better, I'm not in a hurry to leave again…but I swear if things start going back to the way they were I'm quitting on the spot, I have to I can't let them bring me down.
my grandfather passed away and I had to take time off because my family lives in West Virginia, so I needed the rest of the week off last week and my manager copped an attitude with me both times I had to call. It really pissed me off, someone dies that I was close to, and they get pissed off with me? How dare they do that. I really need to find me something else.
now that they have finally listened to us, Steven might get his job back, they're working on getting rid of Roslyn, and we feel a million times better….so this one isn't as bad as it was….but I'd still like to find a better job.
Ok up until now I've taken all the bull shit, but last night with Steven quitting, now that's the final straw, I need a better job and I need to get out of there….and how dare they pretend that Steven and I aren't friends and using my name to go against him, like he wasn't going to tell me what they said? Are you serious? Whatever, we all know the truth, Roslyn has been out to get Steven since she got back there, and she finally broke him :( I wish he could have held in there longer until he had a back up plan :( poor Steven, but now it's time to make Target pay! I need to get me a new job, Courtney needs to get one too, and then we both need to be like FUCK YOU TARGET! and walk out together. Then they'll really be screwed over!

How excited are we for season three of "Game of Thrones"? I seriously can't wait — and though HBO won't be airing the first episode of the new season until March 31, a lucky few celebrity fans were able to take in the new season at Monday night's L.A. premiere. In addition to a slew of cast members, Alison Pill and half the cast of "Glee" was also there. Lucky ducks! We don't have any great spoilers to report, but we do have pics from last night's red carpet. We've paired up each glamour shot with a pic of their corresponding "GoT" character, as a key.

" Isn't it amazing how the rules changed after Skip Hayward researched a long forgotten law that allowed the Pequot Tribe to establish "Foxwoods". The Federal & State governments quickly surrounded the wagons. The laws should stand as they were written. If there are legitimate descendants of the Schaghticoke Tribe they should be entitled to their land to do as they please. The Bureau of Indian Affairs have been taking advantage of native Americans since it's inception. "

" I feel bad for these native Americans. First, the colonizers (not my ancestors) stole their land. Now, our country is trying to steal their history, saying they're not a real tribe. This is shameful. Everyone knows it's because the local people are afraid of a land takeover and Foxwoods & Mohegan Sun are afraid of the potential competition that will lure away all the NY and NJ gamblers if a casino was ever to be built in Litchfield County. The government is corrupt and changes the laws depending on what corporation writes the largest check. They did the same thing denying the Golden Hill Paugussett tribe that claimed land in upper Fairfield County and the Valley. It's disgraceful! "

A night out with pals never goes without a little relationship talk.
What's more relaxing for a couple of new moms than a few days on the beach?
Reese Witherspoon, 36, and Drew Barrymore, 38, left babies Tennessee and Olive, both 5 months, at home, and joined pal Cameron Diaz, 40, and five other friends for fitness retreat Bikini Boot Camp at the Amansala Resort in Tulum earlier this month.
"It was a girls trip," says a fellow guest. "They all seemed like great friends who were there to relax and have a good time."
Who wouldn't love to be invited on this double date?
Longtime friends Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz hit up Crown restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side Tuesday night, escorted by Barrymore's husband Will Kopelman and Diaz's mystery date, a dark-haired man dressed in a suit.
Barrymore – looking radiant, according to an onlooker – was raving about her baby, 3-month-old daughter Olive, and the group appeared to be having a great time.
When it came time to chow down, the foursome shared a dinner of beet salad, pasta, scallops and steak.
– Kristin Boehm
Cameron Diaz had a dinner date Wednesday night – but it wasn't romantic at all.
The actress stopped into West Hollywood's Mercato di Vetro with Kevin Huvane, managing partner of the Creative Artists Agency, for what a source describes as a "serious business dinner" filled with "heavy dialogue."
But it wasn't all so staid; as they talked, Diaz and Huvane shared a number of Italian small plates, including crostini, branzino, buratta and roasted grapes salad and pasta vongole. And though Diaz didn't imbibe in any cocktails, sipping mint tea instead, she did make room for the restaurant's sweet bombolini dessert.
– Jennifer Garcia
Cameron Diaz wasn't about to let a stormy day in New York City ruin her fun.
The What to Expect When You're Expecting star braved the rain on Wednesday when she headed to Chelsea Market for the Blackberry PlayBook launch, hosted by Voli light vodka.
Diaz, who popped in with an unidentifiable male and his two kids, "took her shirt off at one point to wring out her drenched top," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "For a minute, she was only wearing a sports bra."
The actress, who put her top back on once it was drier, "stayed for a little bit and sipped on a vodka drink," the source says. "Whomever the male was seemed quite close to her."
– Dahvi Shira
A week after helping BFF Drew Barrymore celebrate her wedding with Will Kopelman, Cameron Diaz was spotted out with some different friends – for a much more low-key affair.
Making her way to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Friday, Diaz and her group popped into their eatery, Ray's and Stark Bar.
"Cameron was with a few other women and a young boy," an onlooker tells PEOPLE of Diaz's trip to the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, where she and her guests dug into salads. The onlooker adds, "She was very friendly" during her visit.
– Dahvi Shira
Fitness buff Cameron Diaz skipped music or headphones, opting to chat with a male friend while burning calories on the elliptical machine at Equinox West Hollywood. The actress, sporting a cropped new do, sipped water and a Body Factory shake as she worked out. While other gym-goers occasionally checked out the actress, she was able to work out in peace. Says an onlooker: "She seemed really happy and in good spirits."

Phil Woods is an alto saxophonist. This version of "Willow Weep for Me" begins with David Sanborn chatting with Phil Woods about his hero, Benny Carter, and about his mid-East tour with Dizzy Gillespie (in 1956). His remarks (made around 1988-89) on the mid-East contrast then and now:
Sanborn: You toured with Dizzy Gillespie, [he] went to Europe, didn't he?
Woods: Well, our first tour was actually a mid-East tour. I think when the American government gets nervous, they always send Dizzy to try and cool things down. Our first port of call was Abadan, Iran. I don't think there's going to be too many bands following in our footsteps. We played Beirut, Lebanon, Damascus, Aleppo, Syria, Baghdad. We hit all the spots that are now trouble spots. I think if they sent Dizzy one more time it might 'a' cooled down all this trouble we're in.
Sanborn: Good idea.
Woods: Great idea.
Herb Geller is an alto saxophonist who was deep into the American jazz scene in the 1950s before taking up residence in Germany where he remained very busy in the NDR big band and other musical activities. Here he plays "The Fruit" and "You'll Never Get Away From Me".
Johnny Richards (born Juan Manuel Cascales in Mexico) was a composer, arranger and band leader. He had a very strong musical background and training that included being Victor Young's assistant at Paramount and studying with Schoenberg. His big band music is really wonderful stuff: fresh, rich, bold, orchestral, and colorful. He co-wrote the popular tune "Young at Heart". Here's "The Ballad of Tappan Zee", "La Suerte de los Tontos", and "Waltz, Anyone?" Richards definitely took the liberty to write his music.
Bunny Berigan was a trumpeter and big band leader in the swing era. He's famous for his superlative rendition of "I Can't Get Started".5:47 am on November 2, 2012 Email Michael S. Rozeff

Google promises Assistant 'will better Siri'
Google's controversial data collection will help personalise app
By Christina DesMarais | PC World | Published: 08:29, 06 March 2012
Google is said to be working on artificial intelligence technology that could surpass the capabilities of Apple's Siri voice assistant, a development that comes as Apple prepares to launch the next iteration of its iPad tablet.
Google, the Internet search leader, plans to reveal a new 'Assistant' product by the fourth quarter of this year, according to a report by TechCrunch's Alexia Tsotsis, who cited an unnamed source at the company.
The feature will be personalised and make use of Google's data collection regarding how people behave online and will be "less about returning search results and more about accomplishing real-life goals," the report says.

The Android operating system has had voice commands for soem tiem but Google hasn't promoted Voice Commands so many people using the mobile OS haven't played around with it.
(Go here for a full rundown of what you can do using Android's Voice Commands).
Even so, Android Voice Commands, at least in their current state, lack the panache of Apple's Siri. In fact, Apple boasts that you can ask Siri to do things without using choppy or difficult-to-remember commands. So instead of saying something like "Record note, pick up shirt from dry cleaner," you could say, "Remind me to pick up my shirt from the dry cleaner."
However, as Google consolidates individual user data from across its products it have powerful tools to enhance its products, privacy concerns notwithstanding.

|The School Adoption Project
The School Adoption Project is Smile Liberia's primary means of implementing its mission in Liberia. The project was launched in 2010 and is based on research conducted on the educational sector in Liberia and our own ongoing research into the needs of individual schools in meeting standard academic statuses. Funding in the amount of approximately $300,000.00 is needed for the total implementation of the project to cover staff and infrastructure development, direct student spending and basic community engagement.
After careful research and assessment, Children Hope Community School, an elementary school with about 100 children between the ages of 5-15; located in West Point, one of the world's worst slums, was adopted to pilot the school adoption project. Smile Liberia will work with the community and the school's authorities over the next 5 years to transform Children Hope into a modernized primary school and provide learning opportunities to more children in that community.
Over the last year, Smile Liberia has made 2 major school supplies donations to the Children Hope Community School. However, the school still has a number of critical needs. During a visit by a Smile Liberia delegation, there were some disturbing reports:
To help resolve these issues at Children Hope, Smile Liberia has put together several short term goals for 2011-2012 operational years:
Within a period of 5 years, Smile Liberia's goals are as follow:

Former WPIX Anchor Jackie Hyland Joins WRAL
Jackie Hyland (pictured, right) who was cut loose from New York City's WPIX in March when her contract was not renewed, will debut September 27 as evening anchor on WRAL, the CBS-affiliate in Raleigh-Durham.
Hyland's addition to the news team was announced by the station along with a handful of changes to the talent lineup. Hyland will be paired with longtime WRAL anchor Gerald Owens on the 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts; she will replace anchor Debra Morgan, who will take over the 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscasts from Pam Saulsby.
Saulsby, who has been with the station since 1991, is leaving to pursue "other opportunities outside of the station," according to the WRAL release. She will continue to co-anchor the noon newscast until later this fall, but her final evening newscasts will be later this week. Read more

The Psychology Of Programming
Every person on the planet usually knows what he or she does. This seems to be the easy part; it's in the manual.
But how about an honest and often unasked question: Why do they do what they do? Why do they get up in the morning? And when thinking about your own camp, why does your organization exist?
Over the last 15 years, the children's-camp industry has been in a state of change. The end point is not entirely clear, and for many camps even the need for change itself hasn't been recognized. But what's happening is fundamentally at the industry's core.
Whether adventure-based, faith-based, or with a focus on special needs or leadership, the transformation is one of intention–from knowing what we do, to an understanding of why we do it.
This tectonic shift is affecting programming and the culture, and it is re-shaping the very idea of what camping can and should be doing for children, adolescents, and communities.
In the 1970s and '80s, summer camps were focused on two approaches: 1) activity for an activity's sake–for the immediate, intrinsic benefits (fun and laughter, physical challenge, etc.); and 2) teaching a skill–imparting a technical set of knowledge with which a child will be able to leave camp (how to build a fire, carve a stick, fire a bow and arrow, paddle a canoe).
In terms of what and why, the structure looked like this:
What do we do? Teach fire-building.
How do we do it? Give kids matches and teach them about sparks and kindling.
Why? It is a good skill to have.
As professionals in the industry, we operate now in a generation of camp that emphasizes fewer "skills" and more "experiences." It is not enough these days (and thankfully so) to design and facilitate a program without contemplating its emotional intention, along with its intrinsic risks and benefits.
So the current structure looks more like this:
What do we do? We build confidence in a child's abilities.
How do we do it? By fire-building.
Why? Confidence in one's abilities is a transferable skill. At home, a child begins to think, "Well, if I can do that, then I can probably do this too …"
Programs are being implemented based on the emotional or spiritual element they target, and facilitated based on how best the participants can be emotionally supported in their challenge.
In the summer of 2013, if you're not considering your operations in this way already, I implore you to, because the plates are shifting.
Personally, this is why I do what I do: I believe those within the children's-camp industry are in the best position of any organization to impact the way children view themselves, consider the world, and shape the way they operate within it.
Fostering a connection between children and nature is vital, particularly for a generation of youth that is losing that connection. My intention is to use nature as a tool to build the necessary emotional skills for a happy, successful life: self-confidence, empathy, patience, and communication.
Each of you has your own specific site and program intentions, with a unique reflection:
"Why does my organization exist?"
"Why do I offer this program?"
"Does it further the organization and/or my intentions?"
If the answer to the last question is no, here's how to ensure that it does.
An adult's ability to register and comprehend complex information is based on the success at which he or she was able to build a base of practical experience as a child.

Setting up PHP & MySQL on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. via Rob Allen's DevNotes.
Recently I tried out the Silex micro framework, creating bGrounder in the process. Getting Silex up and running on my Mac was easy-peasy. Create a new directory in my ~/Sites folder. Download the Silex PHAR (PHP archive) file. Create an application bootstrap file. Go.
I ran into trouble when I pushed my work up to my Dreamhost account. The application was failing silently. Running silex.phar on the command line resulted in meaningless errors.
After a fair bit of Duck-Duck-Go-ing (Duck-Duck-Goosing? Quacking?) I found squat. After dumping out a PHP info page I realized that Dreamhost is using Suhosin (which is a good thing). This was the culprit.
The Silex documentation provides configuration examples showing how to configure PHP and Suhosin to work with the Silex framework. Fortunately, Dreamhost lets you override the system default PHP.ini with your own.
In order to this work you should have PHP 5.3.x FastCGI enabled for your domain. Leave "Extra web security" on so you feel snuggly and safe in your bed at night.
Make sure your login account (your FTP user) has shell access enabled – this configuration cannot be done without shell access.
Follow the instructions on the Dreamhost support wiki for replacing the system php.ini. If you don't know what any of those instructions mean, this is not for you. Contact support and ask nicely for them to do it for you.
Once you have a shiny new ini file (the file will be named "phpini") look for the following line:
Above this line are system defaults. Leave them be. Below this line you will add your customizations.
Add the following recommended configurations from the Silex documentation:
detect_unicode = Off
phar.readonly = Off
phar.require_hash = Off
suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = phar
And then add the following to ensure that the PHAR extension is loaded:
Then follow the Dreamhost instructions for forcing PHP to reload the configuration – or go make some coffee and come back in 15 minutes or so. Dreamhost will eventually reload the configs automatically.
Silex should now run fine, both in the browser and on the command line. Of course your mileage may vary.

Q. What is the central nervous system?
A. The brain and the spinal cord form the central nervous system. It controls walking, talking, breathing and digesting food. It is also involved with our senses – seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling – as well as our emotions, thoughts and memory.
Q. What are spine tumors?
A. Spine tumors are abnormal growths of tissue found in and around the spine. Tumors in the spine may be primary (begin in the spine) or secondary (metastatic – move to the spine from other locations). The most common cancers that move to the spine are breast, lung, renal and prostate.
Q. What are metastatic spine tumors?
Metastatic is a term that describes cancer that has spread from its primary site to other places in the body. Metastatic spine tumors are abnormal growths of tissue that are found in and around the spine, but that began in another location in the body. The skeletal system is the third most common site of metastases.
Most often cancer that moves to the spine is not fatal, although it can cause pain and compress nerves. Nerves that are compressed can cause weakness or paralysis of the arms or legs. Treatment of spine tumors is focused on maintaining quality of life. Q. Where are spine tumors located?
A. The majority of spine tumors are located in the center of the back. But they also occur in the lower back or neck region. The location of the tumor determines the symptoms experienced.
Q. What are the symptoms of spine tumors?
A. Some patients have no symptoms. The most common symptom, however, is pain. Patients may experience persistent back or neck pain. Other complaints may include numbness, tingling or weakness in the arms or legs, problems walking and maintaining balance or problems with bowel and bladder function.
Q. How is a spine tumor diagnosed?
A. The most common test is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine, which will show the soft tissues and nerves of the spinal column. Plain X-rays will show vertebral fractures, common when the tumor invades the spinal bones. A computerized tomography (CT) scan shows the bones more clearly and can help to determine the extent of the bony disease. Other tests include CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis or a positron emission tomography (PET) scan to determine where else the cancer may be.
Q. What are the treatments for spine tumors?
A. The type of treatment that is best for you depends on the type of your tumor, the location of the tumor and how much tumor is in the spine. Your options may include:
Q. When is surgery necessary?
A. The role of surgery for metastatic spine tumors is to improve or maintain quality of life. There are a number of reasons why surgery would be a good treatment option for spine tumors:
The goal is usually to reduce the severity of symptoms, including:
Q. How do I know if I am a candidate for surgery?
A. The following are factors that determine if you are a candidate for surgery:
Q. What are the surgical options?
A. The type of surgery your doctor recommends will depend on the type of tumor, its location and the symptoms you are experiencing. If you have weakness, numbness or paralysis of arms and legs or a change in bladder or bowel function, an open surgical procedure may be necessary.
Q. How long is the recovery period after surgery?
A. Your length of stay in the hospital will vary by the extent and type of surgery. A typical hospital stay after spinal tumor surgery is 5 to 10 days, although each person will respond differently and recover differently.
Following surgery, you may need help with activities of daily living. This is referred to as rehabilitation. Rehabilitation may be done in an inpatient setting, which means you are admitted to a rehab unit or hospital. It can also be done as an outpatient, which means you could receive therapy in your home or be transported to a rehab facility during the week.
Q. What are the other treatment options?
A. The non-surgical treatment options for spinal tumors are observation, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Q. What questions should I ask the doctor?
A. Here are some suggestions:

Blackburn Scholarship
The Dr. Benjamin C. Blackburn Scholarship for 2014
Offered for County College of Morris Students in the Horticulture / Landscape Program
The Friends of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum's Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that we have selected the County College of Morris as our partner through which to award the Benjamin C. Blackburn Scholarship. One or more County College of Morris students, enrolled in the Horticulture/Landscape Department will be chosen to receive scholarship money totaling up to $2,500.00.
We are very excited about working with County College of Morris and their students. These students are preparing for careers, or in some cases second careers, in the field of horticulture. The program is well known for its success stories, with a large number of students going on to complete four year degrees at other universities. Students at County College of Morris have served as interns at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum and often volunteer at our annual Plant Sale, so this partnership is a logical step in our growing relationship with the County College of Morris.
In addition to enrollment in the Horticulture/Landscape program at County College of Morris, the scholarship recipients must also be New Jersey residents with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
The Blackburn Scholarship was established by The Friends in 1979 to honor the memory of the late Dr. Benjamin C. Blackburn, whose interest and professional support was of great help to the Arboretum and the Friends during their early years. The scholarship is funded by proceeds from the Blackburn Tea, an annual event held at the Arboretum in early spring. The 15th Annual Blackburn Tea will be held on March 26, 2014.
This year Beatrix Farrand, America's first female landscape architect, is brought to life in a dramatic performance by Colleen Plimpton. Ms. Plimpton is a popular garden lecturer and author.
We hope that you will attend the tea, have a wonderful time and know that you are supporting the Friend's mission of horticultural education.
Interested students should download the instructions and application form and contact the Financial Aid Office of CCM.
The Friends of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum was founded in 1972. Its mission to support and promote the development of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum and other horticultural facilities of the Morris County Park Commission is realized through the various programs, exhibits and trips which it sponsors. With over 1500 individual and organizational members, The Friends also support a horticultural library, staffing for a year round horticultural program and "Branching Out," a children gardening program.
Through its continuing commitment and volunteer efforts, The Friends of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum foster and develop public awareness, knowledge and enjoyment of horticulture and the natural world.

The world�s most popular ninja comic just got bigger with this collection of Naruto volumes!
Reads R to L (Japanese Style), for audiences T
Containing volumes 4, 5 and 6 of Naruto!

Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan.

Full text not available from this repository.
This article highlights different stages of formation of the human embryo along with the description of every stage of the embryonic development as mentioned in the Quran, Surah al-Mu'minun. This study shows that God creates a child in a mother's womb and brings about the child chronological evolution to full life, while the parents only play an instrumental role in this creative process. The Quran says: We have created man out of an extraction of clay (the origin of semen). Then we turn it into semen and settle it in a firm receptacle. We then turn semen into a clot ('alaqah) (literally, something hanging, that is, from the womb) which we then transmute into a lum (mudghah). We then create bones which we clothe with flesh. Then, we transmute it into a new mode (of ensoulment)-blessed be then Allah, the best of creators. (Al-Quran, Surah (Chapter) Al-Mu'minun (23): 12-14, see also Al-Hajj (22): 5).

WC women battle Wittenberg, Transylvania
Deutsch wins 500 freestyle
November 13, 2010
Melissa Amerman and the Quakers battled Wittenberg and Transylvania in dual meets.
SPRINGFIELD — Wilmington College dropped dual meets to Wittenberg and Transylvania in non-conference women's swimming action Saturday afternoon.
"We saw some good competition today, which I think is ultimately good for us," Wilmington head coach Trip Breen said. "We competed better against good teams today than we have so far this year. The kids were ready to go when we got there and started off with some great swims."
Kristen Deutsch (Beavercreek) had a big meet, finishing third in the 500-yard freestyle before bouncing back to win the 1,000 freestyle.
"Kristen made a little mistake in the 1,000 and took it out too hard," Breen said. "But against the same competition in the 500 she came back to pick up a nice clear victory. The work that we are doing is starting to pay off for her."
Victoria Burcham (Urbana) continued a strong freshman season with a 2:21 effort in the 200 backstroke.
"Victoria had a really nice swim. She works hard, and it shows in her results," Breen said. "I also thought our relays looked better today. This team is just getting better every week."
Breen also singled out the 500 and 1,000 freestyle races turned in by Liz Miller (Lebanon).
