Superior Court Judge Trent Brown signed the order for the continuance May 24, following a hearing on the motion by Moss' defense attorney Frank Hogue, the previous day.
Brown previously denied the motion for a continuance but ultimately agreed to hear it again due to the insistence of the tenacious Hogue.
The continuance was the second for the murder trial, which was slated to take place this past October. The defense attorney argued and won the first continuance on the grounds that he was not ready for trial and could not provide his client with an adequate defense.
Moss is charged with malice murder and felony murder in the death of Henry County businessman William Douglas Coker. The victim was 67. Law enforcement officers found his body under the defendant's back porch in River North March 18, 2012.
Hogue's argument at last week's hearing was that his only defense for his client is insanity, and he needs an expert witness to prove the case.

Story Maps Illustrate Metro Area and County Population Change
Have fun exploring two interactive thematic maps on population change, just released by the Census Bureau.
The first map allows data users to explore the difference a decade has made in patterns of population change in metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas across the country. This is possible through swiping between two interactive maps – one covering the 2002-2003 period, the other 2012-2013. The second map permits users to determine the extent of population growth in each county between 2012 and 2013, and to quickly identify the primary source of that population change (such as natural increase or net migration.

Elie Wiesel will deliver the commencement address in May.
Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel, the prolific author described as a "messenger to mankind" by the Nobel Peace Prize committee, will deliver the address at Lehigh's 142nd commencement ceremony on Monday, May 24.
Although he has written 57 books—many of them award-winning and critically acclaimed—Wiesel is perhaps best known for Night, which is based on his experiences in the Nazi death camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, and for his humanitarian work around the world in defense of peace and human rights. Currently, Wiesel is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University.
"Dr. Wiesel's contributions to the world of literature, his global efforts to deliver a message of peace and hope, and his extraordinary personal story make him an extremely compelling speaker," says Lehigh President Alice P. Gast. "His message will no doubt inspire graduates, parents, families and friends."
Adds Rabbi Seth Goren, associate university chaplain and director of Jewish student life at Lehigh: "Wiesel's poetic, literary and theological contributions place him in a category all his own.
"His novel Night has become a staple of Holocaust literature, and his articulation of these harrowing experiences has transcended nationality, ethnicity and religion to become woven into the fabric of the American literary experience in a deeply profound and enduring way. His address will provide an extraordinary educational moment for our young graduates, just as his work has provided that opportunity for millions of people around the world."
Wiesel was selected by Gast after the president reviewed the recommendations of the Commencement Speaker Nominations Committee, which had been drawn from a list of nominations gathered from the campus community.
Jack Meehan, president of the Class of 2010 and a member of the nomination committee, says: "It is an honor to have a speaker of Dr. Wiesel's distinction and personal experience deliver our commencement address. His speech will be a fantastic way to conclude our experience here at Lehigh."
Wiesel has worked on behalf of oppressed people for much of his adult life. His personal experience of the Holocaust has led him to use his talents as an author, teacher and storyteller to defend human rights and peace throughout the world.
Those efforts have earned him the United States Congressional Gold Medal (1985) and the Medal of Liberty Award (1986); the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1992); the rank of Grand-Croix in the French Legion of Honor (2001); an honorary Knighthood of the British Empire awarded by Her Majesty, the Queen (2006); and, in 1986, the Nobel Peace Prize. He has received more than 120 honorary degrees from institutions of higher learning in the United States, Europe and Israel.
In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed him chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust. In 1980, he became founding chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.
His more than 50 books have won numerous awards, including the Prix Médicis for A Beggar in Jerusalem, the Prix du Livre Inter for The Testament and the Grand Prize for Literature from the City of Paris for The Fifth Son. The first volume of Wiesel's memoirs, All Rivers Run to the Sea, was published in New York (Knopf) in 1995. The second volume, And the Sea is Never Full, was published in 1999. His latest novel, Un désir fou de danser (A Mad Desire to Dance), published in France in 2006, is soon to be published in English by Knopf.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's soccer team fell 4-0 to Wofford in Southern Conference action Thursday night at Finley Stadium.
The Mocs (2-6-1, 0-3-0 SoCon), without its starting keeper, gave up three first half goals to the Terriers (6-4-0, 1-2-0) but held them to just one in the second.
Wofford got its first goal in the 20th minute on an unassisted shot from Amanda Morris who dropped the shot into the left side of net. Chelsea Turner took a pass from teammate Vicki Hill to put the Terriers up 2-0 at the 39:20 mark of the half and Chloe Bracket picked up Maureen Buff's deflected free kick to make it 3-0 at the half.
In the second half, Alex Kachulis charged the goal on a corner kick and forced a shot through the defense and into the net for the final score.
Chattanooga, still without keeper Lauren Thomas from an injury sustained last week was replaced with newcomer Haley Myers in the net. Myers joined the team Wednesday and had not yet gone through a training session with the team. She made three saves including one that nearly got away, falling on it to keep it away from the Wofford offense.
Wofford outshot the Mocs 19-8 with seven shots on goal to Chattanooga's four. UTC senior Becca Smith (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) had four shots with three on goal and sophomore Crystal Mackezyk (Columbia, Tenn.) sent four toward the net with one on goal.
The Mocs will hit the road for a Sunday matchup at Furman. The game is set to kick off at 2 p.m. Links for live stats and streaming video will be available on the schedule page at GoMocs.com.

About the Binchois Consort
The Binchois Consort was founded in 1995 to perform Dufay's Mass for St Anthony of Padua as part of a liturgical Mass for the Saint's feast day. Its recording of that Mass (CDA66854) was released by Hyperion in 1996 to an enthusiastic critical reception. All its subsequent discs have received similarly stunning reviews. The second, 'Music for St James the Greater by Guillaume Dufay', received numerous awards, including 'Recording of the Month' and 'Early Music Recording of the Year' in 'Gramophone' magazine and a 'Diapason d'or.' The group's fourth disc, 'Josquin Des Prez and his Contemporaries,' was voted runner-up to the 'Early Music Recording of the Year' for 2002 by 'Gramophone;' and its next release, of Masses and motets by Busnois, Domarto and Pullois, was shortlisted for the same award and received the coveted 'G5' of 'Goldberg' magazine and 'Five stars' in 'BBC Music' magazine. Recording no. 6, of a Mass, Puisque je vis, thought to be by Dufay, along with motets by Dufay, Compère and others, was named 'Diapason decouverte' by 'Diapason', and received various other music industry accolades.
The group's most recent disc, Dufay and the Court of Savoy, may be its best yet: the London Observer enthused about '...this gloriously performed disc from the eight male voices of the pure-toned Binchois Consort. Contrasting motets and mass propers, works of sublime clarity, are rewardingly interspersed. Who knows - or cares - whether it's even faintly authentic. The results are mesmerising.'

The group composed mostly of ex-Moo... they were spreading the word to anyone who would listen about the history and cult-like happenings when one studied under Master John C. Kim, former "All Asia Champion".
Their tuition scam stories, especially for seminars, always amazed me... $$$$$$$$
Your typical McDojo Black Belt Club fees were chump change compared to Iron Butt Kim!!

Why Apple won't be ditching the Home button any time soon
It comes up every now and then -- "Apple should ditch the Home button!" on the iPhone or iPad. There have been rumors of it happening, there've been false-alarms of it happening. With the recent launch of the Google Nexus 7, which doesn't have a Home button, we've been getting even more questions about it happening. But it's not happening. Not with the iPhone 5. Not with the iPad mini. Not any time soon.
Apple needs the Home button because users need the Home button.
Remember, iOS isn't for geeks -- it's for the mainstream. It's for people for whom traditional computers have always been inaccessible, intimidating, and stressful. The last part is particularly important when it comes to the Home button.
Part of the job of any good interface is to reduce user stress. This is done in numerous ways, from providing familiar appearances and contexts (including skeuomorphism), and consistent controls and explicit paths of action. And it's done by always providing an escape hatch. When a user knows that no matter what they do within an app, how lost or confused or frustrated they become, how badly they think they've screwed up, they can always hit the Home button and instantly be teleported back to a known, safe place, it immediately de-stresses the entire experience.
That's the whole purpose of "Home".
It's not quite that simple, of course. Apple does complicate the Home button by using additional clicks to return to the main Home page, or switch between Spotlight Search and the main Home page, and double-clicks to expose the fast app switcher, and optional triple-clicks to engage accessibility options, and a long press to launch Siri.
The transitions aren't smash cuts, however. Apple deliberately uses animations that impart a sense of direction and layout and movement through space. They overcome disorientation by sliding us from one screen to the next, or fading the screen and lifting it, but still keeping it visible. They take us from where we are and show us where we're going, which reduces the chances we'll feel lost, and mitigates stress.
Apple has also made sure that repeated clicks cycle through the various states, with the main Home page as the anchor point. That means, even as a stress response, even if we panic and just start clicking, we can see how we're moving from screen to screen, and we can see the main Home page come up, again and again, giving us a big target to stop on.
Even binding Siri to the Home button, while increasing complexity, can help reduce stress. Hold the Home button long enough, desperately enough, and Siri comes up. If Apple can get it working as well as it does in the TV commercials, we'll be able to launch Siri and tell it to do things, and not even have to worry about which app(s) need to be used or which individual steps are required to get it done. We'll have a Pixar-like assistant to walk us, and talk us, through it.
Other platforms vacillate between hardware and software Home buttons, and some have tried to eschew them completely. Apple has introduced multitasking gestures for iPad, which function alongside -- not in place of -- the Home button as shortcuts for those comfortable enough to use them.
Watch a 3 year old use an iPad or iPod touch. Watch someone in their golden years, who's never used a computer before, use an iPad or iPhone. Watch the democratization of computing technology and the feeling of control and empowerment given to casual users by the Home button, and it's easy to see why it's not going anywhere.
Launch an app. Click Home. Launch an app. Click Home.
Simple. Predictable. Dependable.
That's why the Home button isn't going any where. Not with the iPhone 5. Not with the iPad mini. Not any time soon.

Why Apple won't be ditching the Home button any time soon
I wouldn't be surprised if your child becomes a spoiled little brat...
this is sad the new parents of today don't give the same care to their children as they used to. Nowadays the asshole parent gives their child a phone to make sure they don't have to spend time with the little ones. Sad fact
You were able to deduce that ransonju's kid is going to be a spoiled brat because his kid can navigate through his phone to play a game? I had no idea the brilliance that was trolling, errr commenting on this website.
I can also generalize. Nowadays the asshole internet commentator sits at his computer/phone/tablet and makes stupid, lazy, and uninspiring comments without any fear of reprisal or any accountability because they themselves have spent so little time with actual people that they do not know how to behave or speak to their fellow person with any sort of respect. That is a sad fact.
If we keep technology from our children then we're keeping them from developing their brain. It's time to kep moving forward. If you want your children to be behind in school, go ahead and keep them away from all this beautiful technology. My two year old plays all these learning games and she speaks as if she was 8. Thank you....
Then you want Android.
Personally, I find the "back" button the single most annoying aspect of the Android OS in that it's a button that does a whole variety of unknowable things depending on the context. It requires you to memorise what is going to happen when you press it in this, that or the other context.
I used the back button like crazy when I had an Android phone. But the implementation was so convoluted and inconsistent that it was infuriating. Sometimes you press back and it brings you to the last menu, sometimes it brings you to the menu above the one you're currently viewing, and sometimes it brings you to the home screen. The home button is much better for this, and the software Back button is much better, as its intentions are clear.
I don't like the android way of doing it. When I said guesture I was talking about the BB10 feature where you can slide from your email to your inbox. I like the simplicity of the home button but sometimes being able to back out quickly instead of reaching for a button in a app is just effort LOOL
I played with enough Android devices with capacitative control buttons to know how much I hate them. When I'm in the heat of the moment with a game and accidentally touch those buttons and the game is paused or closed. I never have that issue with a hardware button that I know I have to press in in order to register it. How Android gamers deal with this for years is beyond me.
You miss out on another excellent reason for the Home button, although you allude to it when you talk about "frustrated users" finding a way home.
The presence of the Home button and the fact that it always returns the device to the same "knowable" state, is the main reason why blind and other handicapped people can use the OS. iOS is the first OS to be completely designed from the ground up for handicapped access and although the handicapped are a minority, in absolute numbers it's a huge segment.
The very first principle of designing interfaces for the handicapped is to have a way for the user to return the device to that "knowable" state so they can orient or re-orient themselves.
Actually umm...im blind and im posting this from my iphone soooo....
Thanks for that; absolutely true and something Apple doesn't get enough credit for the. The thoughtfulness when it comes to accessibility is excellent.
I just wished they'd offer a good gesture on the iPhone because I really notice my home button deteriorate with time (something I've noticed happen on almost every iPhone). On my iPad 3 I never use the home button and it's an example of excellent gesture implementation.
Perhaps with the bigger iPhone 5 screen this will be an option.
Exactly. I was going to take issue with Rene's use of "dependable", when the home button stops working on all my iDevices (not sure if it has been fixed with 4s, iPad2 etc.). If you are jailbroken, I highly recommend QuickDo. I have it set up so if I touch the very bottom of the screen and hold, it acts as a single home click. If I touch the bottom and swipe up, it acts as a double click.
I haven't pressed my finicky home button in ages.
I use Zephyr to "save" my home button. It allows you to use gestures to go to springboard and switch apps, etc. It works pretty well but the only downside is that it's quite pricey at 5 bucks. I try to use as much as possible to spare my home button a bit.
I also don't think Apple should be saving money on the home button. It's function is vital to the whole device so I really think they should work on improving it. I don't have the 4S either and I pretty much only use gestures on my iPad 3 so I can't really be sure about the durability on the new generation but I do know for a fact it is one of the biggest complaints.
The iPhone 4S has a much smarter, stronger Home button mechanism than the iPhone 4.
Humm...turning on Assistive Touch doesn't work well enough for you?
Settings:General:Accessibility:Assistive Touch to "On"
You now have a movable touch screen based home button and can create custom gestures.
That's exactly why you would use it and the scenario I was responding to.
Works the same way on the Nexus 7 but without a physical button. Launch an app, go home, launch an app, go home. The button on the iPhone/iPd is an eyesore and is awful for multitasking. Apple should remove it.
I love your articles Rene, VERY well written! Couldn't agree more!
For me the home button is the most outdated part of my iDevices. I have an iPad 3, waiting for the next iPhone to replace my current one. Sure I could go Android as was remarked but that isn't the point now is it. Just because someone sees a physical button as outdated doesn't mean they want Android, maybe they see iPhone hardware as being stuck with the button that is a point of failure on.
It seems old, out of place and no longer necessary. Apple could easily created a large capacitive button on the bottom which would also let you know you were at the home button.
Of course we all know why there is only 1 button and why there will always be 1 button, because Steve said so. Just like he said 7" tablets were DOA and yet we are about to get one.
skeuomo what?
totally agree, I've been saying this for years though

1 1/2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 small
onion, diced
1 teaspoon
minced fresh ginger root
4 cloves
garlic, minced
potatoes, cubed
carrots, cubed
fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
3 tablespoons
ground unsalted cashews
1 (4 ounce) can
tomato sauce
2 teaspoons
1 1/2 tablespoons
curry powder
1 cup
frozen green peas
green bell pepper, chopped
red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup
heavy cream
1 bunch
fresh cilantro for garnish
If there was a better rating than five stars I would certainly give it to this recipe. It was a total hit here and my mom told me that it was the best thing I'd ever cooked, & she wants me to make it often now. The only changes I made: I added an extra tablespoon of ground cashews, and also I added the curry at the beginning and cooked it with the onion to bring out more of the spicy taste (I was told this is how traditional Indian cooking is done). All in all this was a simply delicious meal and it tasted exactly like something I would expect to find in an Indian restaurant. The ingredients are simple yet the taste is extremely flavorful and just a tad sweet. The only negative thing I have to say is, the ten minutes the recipe gives you to cook the potatoes is simply ridiculous. I had to leave them for about half-an-hour and even then they were very firm (but not raw). Also, make sure you stir a lot because the stuff tends to stick a little to the bottom at first. Next time (I'm going to make this often!), I'll cook the potatoes a little before-hand, and I'll also add cauliflower.
Good starting point. Like many others found it needed more seasoning. I added about 4 cardamon pods, 1 tsp cumin, upped the curry to 2tbs instead of the 1.5tbs, and added a few sprinkles of cinammon. Also, doubled the garlic amount. Didn't use the bell peppers, instead used cauliflower and added fish. So yummy but even better next day. Seriously as good as restaraunt if not better....

Delicious. Korma usually doesn't have cream or tomato sauce in it. Try coconut milk instead. Better if you use garam masala, turmeric and cardamon instead of prepared curry powder. This is good for those who eat chicken. Just add some cooked cubes of it to the recipe. Use yukon gold potatoes cut in a dice, and they will get done in the alloted time. A great meal for families or for guests.
Delicious! I made this twice, and prefer to omit the tomato sauce and put in some yogurt instead. Tastes more like from the restaurant that way. I also play with the spices, adding a bit of cinnamon, turmeric, garam masala, and cardamom.
I made this for dinner the other night for my husband and I, and it really was amazing. We couldn't stop raving about it, and the whole time it was cooking I kept hearing my husband say, "Man, that smells good!" Very easy to make and delicious. I used 1 15-oz can coconut milk (still kept the tomato sauce) instead of the heavy cream as many reviewers suggested. I also added about 1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets and that was a really nice addition. And instead of just curry powder I used 3 1/2 tsp curry powder, 2 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 1/4 tsp turmeric, 3/4 tsp ground cardamom, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg, and a dash of ground cloves. SO much better and more authentic than curry powder. The only problem I had with this recipe was that the potatoes took much longer than written to cook and become tender. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, which was recommended by one user, but that didn't seem to make a difference. Finally I decided to add the coconut milk earlier than written to see if more liquid would help the potatoes cook faster, and that is definitely what did it. Once I added that, the potatoes cooked up in no time and I was able to add the rest of the ingredients and finish the recipe. Served with rice and naan. We will DEFINITELY be making this again and again, as we really like to eat vegetarian at least once or twice a week and are always looking for new recipes to add to our collection. Thank you for a great recipe!
A great korma. Just as good as our favorite Indian restaurant makes, and not as heavy. I used only 1 large potatoe, and a whole can of light coconut milk rather than cream and tomato sauce. I also used a little less curry and added a teaspoon of garam masala. YumYum.
Excellent recipe! My husband and 22 month old loved it! I made a few modifications as well: coconut milk insead of cream and a few extras like spinach and garbanzo beans and it was a definite hit! Can't wait to try the left-overs....
I've mad ethis many times. Try adding a little coconut milk it balances the spice a bit. Also DON'T use sweet potatoes, the consistency didn't work well nor the flavor. I like to add turmeric as well to give it a little more oomph. Definitely a keeper!

Well I just had a great appointment with my MFM. It sounds like the doppler he did on me is a bit different than what some of you ladies have had? It was not on the cord, but on my uterine arteries, so not tracking the baby's system at all. It does sound like what he's looking for is the same though, just checking for notching or irregularity. He also did do the doppler on the cord, but mostly focused on the uterine arteries... he said it looked "textbook." I know from what you've all told me this is not a guarantee by any stretch of the imagination, but it does make me happy none the less. Baby was also measuring great, he's in the 54% for size. I'm 22w 1d and he weighs about 1lb 3oz. We will have another u/s in 4 weeks checking his growth.
I'm still terrified.. but it's starting to feel more and more real, that this little boy is my rainbow!

A full day of talks, and my second long talk. They also had the Job Fair during the day, but I was a bit too shy to ask for freebie T-Shirts, but I did get a lovely Shopzilla pen. In the evening was the Conference Dinner and the auctions. Bids for dinner with Allison, Bill, Larry and Randal featured alongside the usual book and hot chocolate ones. The final auction item was for the priviledge of buying Jeremy a beer. Cog later said he wanted to buy Jeremy a beer, but he couldn't afford to bid ;)

Welcome to VermontApril 05,2013The latest report on the impact of tourism in this state underscores the way that Vermont has succeeded in turning its natural beauty into a vital engine of the economy.
Throughout the Great Recession, tourism continued to grow in Vermont. The report from the Department of Tourism and Marketing showed that in 2011, nearly 14 million people visited the state, creating 37,910 jobs for Vermonters, or about 11.5 percent of all jobs. That job total was up 13.1 percent over the total from 2009.
Visitors accounted for more than a third of all jobs in restaurants and bars and for 6.8 percent of all retail jobs, far above the national average. Spending by visitors produced $274.5 million in tax revenue, which was up 37.5 percent over 2009.
Vermont has always drawn visitors, eager to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and a summer climate cooler than the sweltering metropolises to our south. But it was the advent of winter sports that brought tourism to Vermont on a massive scale. Now winter is the busiest season for tourism, yielding $577.4 million from 3.87 million visitors in 2011. The second-busiest season was summer, which produced $489.2 million from 4.14 million visitors. Those numbers make clear that though more people come here in summer, winter visitors spend more money.
For the sake of the states prosperity, it is a good thing that the state has embraced its role as a tourist mecca. The Rutland region shows why. The latter half of the 20th century saw the decline of many traditional industries, which has made for a rough economic transition, made far easier by the rise of the ski industry, particularly at Killington and Pico ski areas.
Northern Vermonts ski industry has shown the greatest gains in recent years due to major investments at the Jay Peak and Stowe resorts. Following Tropical Storm Irene, it was tourism in the Mount Snow area that suffered. In response the state plans to step in with additional reconstruction aid. Meanwhile, Killington is taking steps forward under new ownership to carry out long postponed development projects.
But winter is not the whole story. Combined, business during summer and fall exceeded the revenue from winter. It will be remembered that in 2009 National Geographic ranked Vermont as the sixth-best tourist destination in the world. The magazine cited the states scenic countryside, lively small towns, historic streetscapes and local business. It is a tourist magnet in the summer, the magazine said, but it never seems overrun by visitors.
Spring has been the laggard among the four seasons, partly because it is so short and iffy. Yet the state has had success marketing maple season, driving up visits in early spring.
During economic downturns, Vermont often benefits because it can provide vacations close to home for millions of people who might feel constrained from traveling on expensive vacations to Paris, the Caribbean or Colorado. Part of the reason is that tourism is anchored here in the form of real estate.
The real estate market may fluctuate during good and bad times, but the presence of ski condos and summer homes keeps people coming back. In fact, one consequence of the vacation home market is that in some places it drives real estate values beyond the means of Vermonters. At the same time, the state benefits from tax benefits derived from second homes.
National Geographic cited the states successful efforts to protect its environment as a key to its continued attractiveness. It is a continuing effort among groups at the state and local level dedicated to promoting the states working landscape and the pattern of historic villages surrounded by open and productive land. It turns out that environmental protection is good for the state to the tune of billions of dollars but especially if a vibrant, productive local economy is able to make good use of our abundant natural resources.MORE IN CommentaryOn Friday, the government of Puerto Rico announced that it was about to miss a bond payment.

Dog thinks it's a treat
By DJ
from Hartford, CT
Our dog has digestive issues and so doesn't get to have peanut butter anymore, so this is a real treat for him. I don't know how effective it is yet, but he lets me brush his teeth for a long enough time that I believe it will be very helpful.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Because Jesus successfully passed His temptation, He was qualified to be the second Adam and merit a righteous status for us in the eyes of God. We cannot be the second Adam, but we can learn from Jesus' interaction with ...Read More

The Holy Qur'ān itself testifies that it was not revealed in a single instance, but rather in a piecemeal fashion (25:32):
And those who disbelieve say: "Why is not the Quran revealed to him all at once?" Thus (it is sent down in parts), that We may strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed it to you gradually, in stages
Parts of the Holy Qur'ān were revealed considering the circumstances of its addressees. Therefore, when some of the directives were relaxed in some aspect Continue reading

If someone told my 20-year-old self that ten years later I'd be (willingly) driving around listening to Alvin & the Chipmunks and singing "The Wheels on the Bus" and other children's classics– I would have told them they were crazy. I've always said that I would instill a love of great music in my kids, and by great music, I was referring to The Beatles, Mozart, Michael Jackson– and I feel like up until this point, I've done so. My daughter has been listening to lullaby renditions of the Beatles every night since the night she was born- and the first song she ever sang was "She Loves You" by the Beatles. But in addition to those classics, the toddler tunes have crept into our rotation, first slowly and now with full force.
It started with the Wiggles. Not the show— because at that time, we weren't allowing Harper to watch TV. But the music. The first song to work it's way in was "Big Red Car". Even I thought it was catchy, and found myself singing it even while she wasn't with me. Then came "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", and "Hot Potato". And there we remained for a while, until she became verbal. Then, she started asking for the songs that she was singing at daycare. "Twinkle Twinkle", "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "The Wheels on the Bus", "Row Row Row Your Boat", etc. I sang them for her. And yet, it was never enough. At the end of every song I heard "AGAIN?!?!" (which is so sweet, and something I've always imagined as a Mom), but it ended up leading me to purchase a compilation of children's songs to play in the car, because we had a big car trip planned for the holidays, and I wanted to have a voice left before we arrived for our family visit.
And then there was the Christmas music. I grew up with the Alvin & the Chipmunks Christmas record. In fact, I already owned that CD before I had a baby, so I had no problem playing it for her– the first 10 times. But then she wanted to hear it every day, even after Christmas had passed. And she loves Alvin and the Chipmunks so much, that I've now bought her a compilation of Alvin & the Chipmunks that includes everyday songs (some of them are covers of Beatles songs, so that counts for something right?)
So it seems I've completely given in to the fact that our car rides will be full of children's music, (with some classics peppered in for good measure of course). I've realized that these songs are a part of childhood, and obviously something she really enjoys (and seeing her happy makes me SUPER happy). So now I'm taking recommendations– what are your children's (and your) favorite traveling tunes?

Here I am, surrounded by my own brand of mess, desk half straightened yet not quite, baking supplies lined up on the spare space allowed on a kitchen table not yet cleared of breakfast dishes, one too many writing projects awaiting my attention as the documents line up impatiently on my computer desktop. E-mails tap their hypothetical fingers and toes, arms crossed and annoyance glowing almost audibly as one, two, three more ask for my participation in this activity or that challenge, demanding immediate action. I love being solicited, I am fueled by writing projects, I am more than flattered by each request for help, yet how can I possibly take on more and more as disorderly as I am, as chaotic as is my life?
When I received a request from Anuradha to guest post on her blog Bakerstreet, I immediately said Yes!, very excited at having been asked, eager to support a fellow blogger. I have been twittering with her for quite some time and have always found her adorable, sweet, kind and generous, so of course I would say yes to whatever she asked of me. I have watched her tentative steps towards confirming her blog, and I feel somewhat like a mother supporting and cheering on a daughter. And something inside of me is still thrilled and filled with wonder when approached to lend a helping hand, advice or support. Yet when I step back and see all of my obligations, everything that I have collected around me and taken on, I wonder how I will ever find the time to do it all. And I wonder if indeed I am crazy…. (please click here to read the rest of the post and discover this fabulous recipe!)
I also would like to share two other posts and recipes of mine:
Destination Dessert: From My Father's Kitchen to My French Wedding Lunch on The Rambling Epicure. I share a family favorite, my dad's recipe for Choux along with ideas and recipes on how to use Choux to make, among other things, Profiteroles and Pets-de-Nonne.
La Pinolata: My Italian Pine Nut Tart, certainly one of my family's favorite desserts! My latest article and recipe on Huffington Post!
Don't miss Weimar Impressions – the first Plate to Page workshop: photos from this our first P2P workshop, a rundown of the weekend's activities as well as links to participants' own write-ups of their experience at P2P on their own blogs.
And... (drum roll) coming soon to Twitter : Jamie & JP's Big Biking Adventure! Be sure to follow our travels, trials & tribulations as we make our way up the Canal Nantes-Brest on bicycle over the next week. With one change of clothes, a First Aid Kit, a camera and my sense of humor, I will be following in JP's wake, admiring the beauty of the landscape, the flora and fauna of the region, and grabbing a snack surreptitiously when I can. I have been promised the use of his iPhone (do I hear the word bribe?) so I can tweet with you along the way, giving up-to-the-minute details of our great adventure! Follow me at @lifesafeast and don't miss one single tweet!

This girl shoots straight (no pun intended)
This girl shoots straight (no pun intended)
"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies"
Did she leave them speechless? We only see her speak for the entirety of the video.
Not every human is a manipulative, opportunistic, letch... or at least that's what I'm told.
Only if you agree with what she says.
I think the pun was intended.

At 32 years old, veteran middleweight Chris Leben (22-8 MMA, 12-7 UFC) believes his best days in fighting still lie ahead.
A one-year suspension for a positive drug screen is complete, and Leben has undergone treatment for addiction to alcohol and prescription painkillers. Now "The Crippler" is committed to his sobriety, and his focus is paying off in the gym.
Leben has long struggled with addiction. Some of his inner demons were on display in the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter," and he was also suspended by the UFC following a failed 2008 drug screen. After his latest suspension, UFC officials helped Leben find a suitable treatment program. While Leben certainly doesn't consider himself cured, he does have a clear understanding of the challenges that come with addiction, and he said he's making constant progress toward a better life.Quote:
"This is the best training camp ever," Leben said. "I have more energy and feel stronger now than when I started my pro MMA career. I have changed a lot of things in the past months: my camp, management, diet, attitude. And, most importantly, I'm sober now.
"I have a good UFC record, but now my focus is on the future. I'm coming back stronger than ever and in my best mindset."
It hasn't been an easy journey, but Leben said those fans that have stuck with him along the way push him to work harder each day.Quote:
"It's a one-day-at-a-time kind of thing," Leben told MMAjunkie.com (MMAjunkie.com). "It's definitely not in the past for me. I'd be lying to you if I told you the thoughts weren't there if stress doesn't get high and start raising in my life, and instantly my natural reaction is to look for the easy way out. And I don't think that's going away anytime soon absolutely not. Does that mean there's something wrong with me? No. That just means I'm an addict, and I had an issue.
"I'm trying to change years and years and years of a behavior and a thought process. As long as I don't entertain those thoughts I try to shift my mind and as long as I continue to make the right progress, I think it's OK. I think the test is what I need, and every day I wake up without a hangover, I get a little bit stronger."
Leben lives and trains in Hawaii, and for his latest camp he brought fellow UFC veterans Ed Herman and Brad Tavares, among others, in as sparring partners. He also brought in former coach Robert Follis and strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Ranes to help better his time in the gym.Quote:
"Some people have written me some really great things; Some people have said some not-so-great things about me," Leben said. "I just really appreciate those that have stuck with me. I don't know what it is about my fans in particular, but so many of them have stayed beside me, and it's very inspiring and is one of my prime motivations when I'm training. Sometimes when I'm training and I'm working on conditioning and I want to slow down on my sprints or I don't want to go that last round, that's one of the things that helps me push through."
Leben hopes to show off his improved skills at next week's UFC 155 event, where he meets Karlos Vemola (9-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC), a former heavyweight who has trimmed himself down to 185 pounds. Vemola doesn't boast nearly as much experience as Leben, but the southpaw said he's certainly not looking past the matchup.Quote:
"Sparring and training is really good," Leben said. "I have all the good guys around me and can put in those crucial hard sparring sessions that I lacked in previous camps. My coaches are pushing me everyday to become stronger, leaner and faster."
All while clearing his own.Quote:
"I'm not overlooking Vemola as opponent," Leben said. "He is a strong, big guy, but I will finish this fight. This fight will be a clear message that I'm coming for people's heads in the middleweight division."
Leben's career has been a bit of a roller coaster in recent years with fantastic performances against Wanderlei Silva and Yoshihro Akiyama tainted by setbacks against Mark Munoz and Brian Stann. But Leben insists things are much different now, and he is looking forward to showing the MMA world what he has left in the tank. He also hopes to prove an inspiration for those who have gone through struggles similar to his.
"I want everybody to know that fighter or not, we're all normal people with normal lives, and we've got the same problems that everybody else out there has," Leben said. "Regardless of how tough you are, there's a right way and a wrong way to deal with your problems. Nobody is strong enough to escape the clutches of drug abuse and addiction. If anybody has these battles, remember that you're not a unique case. You're mortal, and it's one of the downsides to being a human being. We battle with some of these issues, but there is a way out."

"American Precepts have two sides. One is the negative, prohibitory side, and the other is generating our spirit - something good or positive. The positive side is called shuzen bugyo - to do something good - and the negative side is shoaku makusa. Shoaku makusa is to do no evil. There are these two sides. I think we will naturally need some way of life as a group. It may be difficult to set up all at once, but if we try hard, we will find our precepts which include both sides. This is a very important point in practice, for our practice to help others and to help others to help themselves.
"Having our own way of life will encourage people to have a more spiritual and more adequate way of life for themselves. We must study our way not only for ourselves, but for all people. It is something which we must create or establish starting from our own situation as it is, because our rules are actually for ourselves, as human beings. As a Chinese, Hyakujo established monastic rules called Hyakujo Shingi, and as Americans, I feel, we must establish an American shingi. I'm not saying this jokingly. I'm pretty serious, but I don't want to be too serious. If you become too serious you will lose your way. On the other hand, if we're playing games with it, we will lose our way. So little by little, with patience and endurance, we must find our way for ourselves."
Suzuki Roshi, 1969
