Easy and flavorful foods make a memorable picnic for family and friends.
There is an old Irish saying that has been the driving force behind a good Celtic dinner for centuries: "It's not what's on the plate - it's who's in the seat that counts." If you think about it, a loaf of white bread, some bologna and a store-bought cake would be delicious under a summer sky as long as the grass below it is teeming with friends, family and plenty of laughing children. But a few special dishes can add to the picnic experience.
Great picnic fare should be easy to prepare and eat, and high on flavor. Fresh fruits and vegetables, tasty dips and snacks, tangy salads, hearty burgers and barbecue - punctuated with a fresh, sweet dessert - should leave your picnic guests with sticky fingers, slightly stained shirts, and that sinking feeling that they've overindulged.
For this summer's big picnic event, be smart. Buy prepackaged items from the store that will make the day easier for you. Cut-up vegetables, pre-made fruit salads, cole slaw and potato salad from the deli, along with fresh burger buns and and possibly a few bakery cookies will save you time so that you can put your efforts into whipping up a few special recipes.
We found some great picnic foods through Ohio Proud (www.ohioproud.org), the state-sponsored program that helps promote local and regional growers and food producers by connecting their products to grocery stores and the public. Recipes developed by Ohio Proud's contributing chefs hit the mark: They weave the state's best products into delicious treats.
Chefs love June: It's just the month for Ohio strawberries. But making strawberry shortcake is a messy proposition for a picnic, so why not try a strawberry spinach salad with strawberry vinaigrette instead? The bright colors might entice the kids to eat their spinach.
A spicy sausage dip with tortilla chips gets its zest from a salsa made in Elyria. For a special treat from the grill, try "Chili Bob" Vogel's burgers, which integrate potatoes into the mix to help the patties retain their juices. Contrast that with a light almond chicken salad.
For the grill, we recommend purchasing some of the newer Ohio poultry and beef products that you'll find at your grocery store. Slather that meat with some Ohio-produced barbecue sauce - a few brands are now widely available. Perhaps it's the mix of flavors in the sauce, or maybe there's something about barbecued meat that gives us all a lift.
Need a spot for a picnic wingding? City parks, metro parks and state parks have plenty of tables and grills, in addition to grassy fields for Frisbee and ball games. Mentor Headlands State Park (above) on Lake Erie offers picnic tables and opportunities to swim and sun on the state's largest beach. At the state's southern boundary, picnickers can take in views of the Ohio River from Woodland Mound Park on Cincinnati's east side. In addition to picnic areas, there are nature trails; an 18-hole Frisbee Golf course; and playgrounds, including "Parky's Wetland Adventure," a children's "sprayground" for hot summer days. Woodland Mound's breezy riverside location is also ideal for flying kites.
Finger foods, champagne and ripe berries make a menu for two.
In Merchant Ivory films and Jane Austen novels, summer appears to be an endless series of afternoons spent picnicking in the countryside. Ladies and gentlemen, dressed in their best summer linens, arrive by horse-drawn carriage while servants trail behind carrying cases loaded with china, silverware, crystal goblets, tablecloths and umbrellas. This daylong ritual entails a brief walk followed by a sumptuous picnic and lively and flirtatious conversation.
These days, it's difficult to hire a horse and carriage, and almost impossible to find servants who are willing to carry a steamer trunk loaded with your best china across a field of wheat grass. Nevertheless, there are some fabulous options for creating a perfectly romantic picnic.
First, settle on an easy, sensual menu. For more than 10 years, chef John D'Amico of Chez Francois in Vermilion has been creating picnics for couples at his lakeside restaurant. They arrive with a basket and ask him to fill it as they prepare to take a sunset boat cruise or just sit on the Lake Erie shore for a late afternoon snuggle.
"Start out with a soft cheese like a Camembert or Brie," says D'Amico, "then pair that with a nice French bread." A roasted tenderloin, "just enough for two," served with spicy French mustard and a selection of olives is a good choice for a main course. "Having all finger foods is good, and a tenderloin isn't too sloppy," he says.
Cap it off with chocolate mousse, a selection of fresh, ripe Ohio berries, and wash it all down with a good Ohio champagne (Ohio's own Ravenhurst label is a terrific choice) for a light meal that's the perfect prelude to a midsummer romance.
The perfect location for a romantic picnic, Mt. Jeez Scenic Overlook at Malabar Farm State Park in Lucas, has breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Brandywine Falls (above) in the Cuyahoga Valley State Park is a favorite of couples looking for a romantic setting. A sublime evening for two set to classical music can be had at one of Ohio's outdoor music venues such as Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, and the summer home of the Columbus Symphony on Olentangy River Road. In the northeast corner of the state, Ashtabula County features covered bridges that can be discovered on a driving or biking trip for two. Contact the Ashtabula County Convention and Visitors Bureau, 800/337-6746, or www.visitashtabulacounty.com for covered-bridge locations.
The destination may be the most important part of a summer trip, but stopping along the way to enjoy a roadside meal is part of the fun.
Be smart. Pack a supply of healthy snacks, juices and water, portioning out servings in small plastic containers throughout the trip. This will help you control how much your children are eating - and also help you avoid some spills. Next, make a plan for the meals you'll have while you're on the road. Pack a cooler with food that keeps well: plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, sandwich items, bread and a few sweet treats. Also, consider buying foods that come in single-serving packets, which are travel-friendly. String cheese, single-serving raisin boxes and juice boxes also solve a multitude of on-the-road issues.
Shirley Kindrick, Ph.D., RDLD, is team leader of the Comprehensive Weight Management Program at the Ohio State University Medical Center. She recommends packing a healthy lunch that includes fresh fruit and vegetables, sandwiches made with whole-grain breads and low-fat meat and cheese, homemade smoothies kept cool in a Thermos, and store-bought potato salads infused with some extra fresh vegetables from your kitchen. For dessert, snack on fruit - fresh or dried - and whole-grain granola.
If you can't pack a fresh lunch, Kindrick recommends planning ahead. "Take a look at the fast-food web sites on the Internet and make choices about where you'll stop and what you'll eat ahead of time," she says, adding that many chains now offer an online menu with nutrition information on each item that they serve.
Ohio Turnpike plazas and Travel Centers of America are convenient stop-offs for Ohio highway travelers, and both offer location finders on their web sites, along with quick overviews of the restaurants they have at each location. Visit www.ohioturnpike.org or www.tatravelcenters.com to identify which plazas have the healthiest choices in fast food.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Boca area Realtor Gary Goldberg, charged last month with several counts related to child sex abuse, has now been arrested by the FBI and charged with manufacturing child pornography.
BocaNewsNow.com just received this alert from the Department of Justice:
Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and Michael B. Steinbach, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Miami Field Office, announced yesterday that Gary Goldberg, 49, of Palm Beach County, was charged with production of child pornography in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2251. A Pre-trial detention hearing is scheduled for Goldberg today at 10:00 a.m.
The complaint charges Goldberg with production of child pornography, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2251. If convicted, Goldberg faces a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of fifteen years and a maximum term of imprisonment of up to thirty years.
According to the complaint, Goldberg entered into a relationship with a 17 year old girl and her 15 year old friend. Goldberg allegedly performed oral sex on the 15 year old girl in the bathroom at the BP station at Glades Road while the 17 year old waited in the car outside. Goldberg paid the minors to allow him to take nude and sexually explicit photographs of them. Goldberg allegedly photographed the girls with a tablet.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the FBI, Boca Raton Police Department, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, and the South Florida Minor Vice Task Force. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lothrop Morris.
An indictment is only an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The couple already have a 2-year-old daughter Maggie, who has been preparing to become a big sister. "She's obsessed with dolls," Hayes told PEOPLE in January. "She wants to wrap them up and put them to bed. They're all called Barbara. She even calls the baby 'Baby Barbara.' "
While there's still no word from CBS as to whether or not Worst Week will be picked up for another season, Lilah came at a perfect time for her mom's work schedule. "If we get picked up, we won't start filming until August, so I can have a few months with the baby," says Hayes.
Meanwhile, she patiently awaits the news. "I already have good news coming in May," she said in January, referring to her baby's birth. "If we do get to do the show, it'll be an added bonus."

Drs. Jimmy Laura Smull and I interviewed 100 successful women 50+ about their issues/concerns, and one of the most pressing desires was to figure out how to establish healthy adult relationships with our offspring. Given that Thanksgiving is hard upon us, here's a synopsis of the communal wisdom that was shared with us, just in the nick of time..
1. If you are tempted to offer advice or deliver an opinion about something they are considering doing/facing, Stop! Think! Have you specifically been asked? Is it a matter of life and death? If not, keep your thoughts to yourself.
2. If you are asked for money, if you give it at all, give only if you can part with it freely, with neither emotional nor practical strings, expectations or paybacks attached.
3. Never do for them what they can or ought to be able to do for themselves.
4. The only exception is paying for their health insurance for at least awhile, since young adults think they're immortal.
5. Be willing to let them fail and figure out how to get themselves out of messes. That's how they'll learn.
6. Listen to their complaints about what you did or didn't do to them during their childhoods without letting yourself (or them) get caught up in the drama.
7. Forgive yourself, knowing that you did your best; that it is the human condition to fall short of the ideal and that every life has challenges to be overcome.
8. Keep your visits short and fill them with fun things and good food.
9. Find something to do that, unlike your adult children, is still under your control, and master it.
10. Remember that you've got the right to establish healthy boundaries and raise the bar in terms of how you deserve to be treated, regardless of what dysfunctions are playing out in your offspring's life.
Above all, keep breathing. It's going to be okay.

Things are heating up this winter for Rumer Willis on 90210. Her character, Gia, is going to get a girlfriend in January.
"This isn't a fling," 90210's executive producer Rebecca Sinclair tells Entertainment Weekly. "We're coming at this relationship from a genuine place and not going, 'Let's do a titillating story that will grab some promotion.' This is a real aspect of teenager life that's interesting ... And there's been a real void in the 90210 universe in terms of gay and bisexual characters."
So who will Gia fall for? Teen mom Adrianna, played by Jessica Lowndes.
"I've never kissed a girl before so it's a little nerve-racking," Lowndes says in the mag.
Tell us: Do you like this turn of events for Adrianna?

Miracle Worker Overnight isn't a miracle, it's just a decent moisturizer for normal to dry skin, and one that's overpriced considering it's packaged in a jar! This isn't a philosophy, it's hard fact that jar packaging doesn't keep important ingredients stable!
The jar packaging is an issue because this moisturizer contains several ingredients that begin to break down upon first exposure to light and air—which is what happens every time you open the jar. See More Info to learn why it's best to skip anti-aging products packaged in jars.
This fragranced moisturizer is said to contain an "age-resetting complex" from a rare type of algae. Sigh. Of course it has to be rare and once again algae is being ascribed all sorts of miraculous benefits even though there's no research proving it can do anything close to what philosophy is claiming. But even if it could reset the clock on aging, it wouldn't last long in jar packaging. You'd be better off finding the source of this algae and buying the pure stuff to apply fresh (but don't do that, as you could bathe in the stuff and not emerge looking any younger).
The "next generation" vitamin C referred to in the claims is the ingredient 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is the technical name for vitamin C, and this form of it is supposedly stable in the presence of light and air, but the only information about it comes from the company selling the ingredient to cosmetic lines like philosophy. Even if this were stable under such conditions, that doesn't change the problem jar packaging presents for the other delicate ingredients, including the allegedly miraculous algae extract.
One more comment: The amount of citrus extracts this contains poses a risk of irritation but since these are natural ingredients they're also prone to breaking down with repeated exposure to light and air (think how long a lemon lasts before its inedible).
The fact that this product is packaged in a jar means the beneficial ingredients won't remain stable once it is opened. All plant extracts, vitamins, antioxidants, and most other state-of-the-art ingredients break down in the presence of air, so once a jar is opened and lets the air in these important ingredients begin to deteriorate. Jars also present a hygiene issue because even if you wash your hands or use a spatula to remove the product, you're introducing bacteria that causes further breakdown of key ingredients (Sources: Free Radical Biology and Medicine, September 2007, pages 818-829; Ageing Research Reviews, December 2007, pages 271-288; Dermatologic Therapy, September-October 2007, pages 314-321; International Journal of Pharmaceutics, June 12, 2005, pages 197-203; Pharmaceutical Development and Technology, January 2002, pages 1-32; International Society for Horticultural Science, www.actahort.org/members/showpdf?booknrarnr=778_5; and www.beautypackaging.com/articles/2007/03/airless-packaging.php).

Comments about philosophy miracle worker overnight:
I liked the original Miracle Worker (despite the jar packaging) but stopped using it. This version is just unpleasant. They also have a new "Ultimate" version that has denatured ethanol as the 6th ingredient. If someone needs heavy-duty nighttime moisturizing, I tell them to buy a tube of the PC Skin Recovery Mask and leave it on all night. It works like a charm and never breaks me out.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This stuff is overpriced garbage that pills very bad. I found it to be very annoying to have clump of lotion bunch on my skin. Gross!
A unique age-resetting complex contains a rare marine algae extract to help target age-accelerating proteins. Powerful peptides and next-generation vitamin C help support natural collagen while proven hydrators lock in moisture while you sleep.

Strengths: Relatively inexpensive; some of the best products are fragrance-free; very good retinol products; selection of state-of-the-art moisturizers; innovative skin-lightening product.
Weaknesses: Irritating and/or drying cleansers; average to problematic scrubs; at-home peel kits far more gimmicky than helpful; several products contain lavender oil; several products include irritating essential oils; the majority of makeup items do not rise above average status.
Believe in miracles. That's the "lifestyle" branding statement philosophy makes, which is an approach that is decidedly different from their former positioning, which encompassed family values and spirituality along with a dash of department-store élan and endearingly clever quips. The miracle angle may grab your attention, but the company is also quick to point out that its history is steeped in providing products to dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide (so, in addition to miracles, philosophy has a serious side, too). Although its heritage may have included providing clinically oriented products to doctors, we have yet to see or hear of any medical professional retailing philosophy products. And that's a good thing because, by and large, most of philosophy products are resounding disappointments. Moreover, several products, including almost all of their sunscreens, contain one or more known skin irritants. We would be extremely suspicious of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who recommended such products to their patients, and even more so if they actually believed some of the more farfetched claims philosophy makes.
Interestingly, when you shop this line at department stores or at the cosmetics boutique Sephora, what you'll notice is the preponderance of food- and drink-scented bath products, all in vivid colors or cutely boxed for gift-giving. It seems that somewhere along the way, the company decided to promote these nose-appeal products while downplaying their more serious-minded, simply packaged skin care. Perhaps the body lotions and bubble baths have become philosophy's bread and butter. Given the hit-or-miss nature of their facial-care products, that's not surprising. Then again, they've also heavily promoted their anti-aging-themed Miracle Worker products...
So what's to like if you're into the vibe philosophy puts out? Well, this is still a line with some well-formulated staples, including an AHA product, some retinol options, and a handful of state-of-the-art moisturizers. The products that get the most promotion at the counter are the ones you should avoid, such as the at-home peels, scrubs, pads, and anti-acne products. However, the somewhat confusing, conflicting image philosophy presents shouldn't keep you from considering their best products—but it's not a lifestyle brand in the sense that using the entire line will somehow bring you a more joyful existence, or significantly improved skin. The philosophy line is now owned Coty, a cosmetics brand primarily known for their fragrances. Their acquisition of philosophy is their first major foray into a widely-distributed skin care brand.

Note: philosophy opts to use lowercase letters for every product they sell, so the listings below are simply following suit.
philosophy Makeup
Minimalism is a big theme among philosophy's dwindling, uneven range of makeup. Whereas the color options from this company used to be extensive, well-organized, and at times clever, what's lining the counter now needs help, in more ways than one. The major issue is the plethora of ordinary products that cost far too much for what they don't offer, which is innovation and, in almost every case, selection. The line shines brightest (pun intended) with its lip color offerings, though the best products in this category are counterbalanced by glosses or lip balms with needless irritants. If you're a fan of philosophy's skin-care products and are considering their makeup, you don't want to try to build a comprehensive color wardrobe with it. However, you'd be wise to explore the handful of pleasant surprises here, including an excellent bronzing lotion, foundation primer with sunscreen, and the multi-use makeup brush.

Mike worked as a radio announcer in the Santa Rosa area at many different stations (KAFP, KHUM, KPLS) in the late 1950s and early '60s. Relocating to Salinas, Mike's career path led him into the California Highway Patrol. He entered the Academy in 1972, and upon graduation was stationed in Central Los Angeles, Monterey/Salinas, South Lake Tahoe and South Sacramento before retiring in 2000. He met and married his wife of 34 years, JuAnna "Jo" Crawford while working at KTOM in Salinas.
Mike will be greatly missed by his family, friends and loved ones. He is survived by his wife JuAnna "Jo" Crawford, and a special kitty daughter, Darlington; sister Susan Hughes of Texas; brother-in-law Phil (Linda) Mansker of Charles City, Iowa; and sister-in-law Patricia (Drew) Estrada of Bellingham, Washington. He and Jo were visiting close/best friends, Walt and Kathy Clark and Al and Stella Siedentopf, in the Santa Rosa area at the time of his passing.
An active man with lots of hobbies, Mike loved all types of music, cooking, playing poker, rooting for the Giant's and A's, and NASCAR. He will be missed.
A Celebration of Life Service will be scheduled in the South Lake Tahoe area at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Heaven Can Wait Cat Sanctuary, 546 N. Eastern Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89101, or the CAHP Widows and Orphans' Trust Fund, P.O. Box 161209, Sacramento, CA 95816.

What vexes me most is not that these artists are indolently committing crimes against the English language, but that they are wasting a hallowed opportunity.

Whitney Houston sat down with Oprah recently for an anticipated, two-part tell-all interview – and on Monday afternoon fans will finally get to hear directly from the R&B diva.
Among the topics up for discussion: Houston's tumultuous life with her ex Bobby Brown.
"One day my mother [Cissy] came to my house ... with these sheriffs," Houston, 46, tells Winfrey, 55, during the conversation. "She said, 'If you move, Bobby, they're going to take you down.' And he stood there, like he was scared," Houston says.
"She said, 'Let's go,' " Houston continues. "'I'm not losing you to Satan. I'm not doing this. I want my daughter. I want to see that glow in your eyes – that light in your eyes.' "
Houston is the first guest on Winfrey's 24th season. The second part of their interview will air Tuesday. The Grammy Award-winning singer recently released her chart-topping sixth album, I Look to You.

This is a very nice, petite cigar. Good aroma, easy to light, burns even, nice and smooth to the end. I think this cigar would be better suited to a cup of coffee rather than Jack. I may keep a couple around for (GOOD) newbie friends, chics, and an occasional lazy morning.
Got this cigar today and it arrived broken into two pieces. I smoked the bigger half just to try it. not worth buying in my opinion. doesn t have much flavor, better cigars out there. burns too hot. lots of cedar in the pre-light draw. thats about all.
I agree with all the good things said by previous reviews. But, at $17 apiece, is it worth it? Buy just one of these and taste for yourself before you invest $170 in a ten pack like I did.In my opinion, you can find a better quality/price ratio elsewhere. If you want to stick to the mild side like myself, I suggest you try Rocky Patel American Market or Carlos Torano Reserva Selecta/Decadencia.00
My favorite of the Davidoff is the Special R but, the primero is perfect for the quickie smake after lunch or something. Davidoff by far my favorite cigar. Always got a pack of primeros with me.....00
Having been a previous cigarette smoker, I ve been a fan of Davidoff tobacco for a long, long time. However, this was my first time trying one of their cigars, and I was not disappointed. Very enjoyable little smoke; I could have one of these every day and not get tired of it. I ll certainly be ordering more of them in the near future!01
not a heavy cigar guy, but love these on occaision. wife has always liked the smell of 'em...and decided to try one while we were traveling out of town. She wants to smoke this cigar now! THAT is an endorsement for the mild smoke, she loves the shape and length....have to admit that I do too.00
This is my favorite cigar hands down! I have smoked #2's and the 2000 line, they are both pretty the same smoke, the 2000 is a little smaller and a little cheaper usually. This is a very mild smoke which is what I usually go for but if you like a more deep smoke this might not be for you. The burn is great, and the whole cigar is very consistent, tastes great from the beginning till the end. Worth the money for sure!11
I got offered one of these cigars in a local cigar bar. Timid about just smoking at all for first time...BUT loved the experience, great to be in company of other women in the club enjoying their cigars. This cigar is smooth, light, very pleasant aroma and a creamy smoke too. Smoked the whole thing and liked it so much I had another the next night....expensive I guess but worth it for occaisional pleasure!! Oh, and the shape, long slim, and nice.. good for a ladies cigar.00
Mild, smooth, light...great aroma. Expensive too. The ONLY cigar I have ever smoked that my wife likes. She asked to smoke one with me on our anniversary, she loves them!00
Simply stated..... One of the finest cigars on planet earth.00
Nice Smoke with espresso and a demitasse of Gran Marnier. Easily one of the nicer smokes I have had in a while.00

Since springing solo from the Europop trio Matt Bianco in 1987, Basia has made a platinum habit out of sounding happy while singing the lovesick blues. With her third album, The Sweetest Illusion, the Polish-born star croons a more lovestruck tune. Though her patented mix of samba, bossa nova, jazz lite and R&B remains, she cages some of her merry abandon and captures the apprehensive rapture that's often a symptom of love's spell. "She deserves it and can't get used to so much joy," she sings over one mournful riff.
But old habits are hard to break. Lest things get too soppy, Basia returns to familiar form on finger-snappers like "Third Time Lucky" and "More Fire Than Flame." She may not sing everything with such a broad smile, but that doesn't make The Sweetest Illusion any less contagious. (Epic)

Officials said they found shanks and a group of troublemakers during a recent crackdown on state prisons.
Department of Corrections officials said their searches turned up 20 shanks in prisons across the state. The shanks were reportedly made of various items found in the prisons, including fences.
"It's a nice reminder that we need to always check our fences, we need to always do pat down searches, we need to always do good searches," said Jerry Rourke, of the Department of Corrections. "It's a nice reminder of basic security practices."
Corrections leaders also said they found a group of troublemakers who will be moved into isolation.

Peek Into the Kitchen of Yvette van Boven Chef & Author of Home Made
We asked you, our readers, about your favorite books of 2011, and one of your top five picks was this gorgeous, lavishly-illustrated volume on all aspects of home cooking by Amsterdam cook, author and illustrator, Yvette van Boven. Today, we're taking a closer look at Home Made, and giving you a little peek into Yvette's own home kitchen!
Yvette van Boven is a chef and illustrator in Amsterdam and she sent us a little peek into her own kitchen! Here she is cooking up a recipe for her next book — all photos taken by her husband. They live in an old warehouse along the canals of Amsterdam. "We have a dark house," says Yvette. But they've made it so glam in its darkness — I love the shelves and the copper pots! Yvette says that she is not a stranger to cookbooks — wrote her first at the age of four! Since then she has gone on to own and run a restaurant, and to illustrate many magazines, newspapers, and books. This multi-pack of talents led her naturally to this cookbook, Home Made, which pulls in yet another of her interests. She says:
My mother and the women in our street made a lot of things with their own hands, out of necessity or by tradition, and my sister and I did the same. We made soda bread, biscuits, shortbread, jelly, and stew for our toy restaurant, which we built in our room or in the garden. We made ice creams, cheeses, yogurt, butterfly cakes, and ginger ale for our dolls or friends.This home made playtime turned into real-life home made treats in her book, Home Made, which is a delightful and delicious collection of recipes for DIY basics and for ways to use them. It's chock-full of Yvette's own drawings, and her husband's beautiful photographs. Here's a little taste of a recipe from her book — one for homemade tea, made with things local to you.
• Visit Yvette: Yvette van Boven Look for Yvette's new book soon too! It's called Home Made Winter and it will be out this October from Stewart, Tabori & Chang. (She's working on Home Made Summer as well!)
Find Yvette's book: Home Made (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, September 2011) at your local library, independent bookstore, or Amazon.comRelated: Recipes as Art: Delicious Illustrations by Yvette van Boven (Images: Oof Verschuren)

The Kings rallied back from a 19 point deficit in the first half to take a lead in the fourth quarter, but the Thunder forced the Kings into a tough shot late, and denied them an inbounds pass with 3/10ths of a second to seal the deal and get redemption for the overtime loss in Sacramento on Superbowl Sunday.
Tonight's game was sort of a study in contrasts with the Kings. In the first half the Kings couldn't get anything going. They were missing tons of open jumpers and turning the ball over-11 of them in the first half. Meanwhile the Thunder were playing incredibly well offensively. Spacing the floor, passing the ball and hitting the jumpers. The Thunder had a 38-12 points in the paint advantage at halftime and a 13 point lead. Along the way the Thunder shot 62% in the first quarter and 52% in the second, while the Kings shot 48% and 43% respectively. The Thunder also had a 7 rebound advantage at the half.
In the second half, the Kings were like a different team. They just completely outplayed us in the third. They came out and competed defensively and shot lights out. They had zero turns in the quarter and shot 15-21 (71%). Meanwhile the Thunder opened the quarter going 4-12, causing Brooks to almost light his hair on fire and calling his second timeout to try and settle the team down. Finally Durant caught fire towards the end of the third hitting some jumpers and a pair of threes to end the quarter. During the third the Thunder shot 43% and Durant notched his 30th point.
In the fourth, both teams looked like they were competing on defense, but there were very few stops. Both teams just lit it up. The Thunder shot 52% in the fourth, while the Kings shot 54%. But what was crazy was the ridiculous three point shooting by the Kings in the fourth, going 6-9 and making the crowd visibly nervous. But the Thunder forced Francisco Garcia into a terrible off balance three pointer to win with 3 seconds left to effectively seal the deal. Had Nick Collison hit his two free throws with 12 seconds left, no late game heroics would have been needed.
- Kyle Weaver played the best, most complete game I've seen from him yet. He had 4 steals (all in the first half) and tipped at least one other that he didn't recover, he hit his shots going 4-7 and scoring 9, had 4 rebounds, 2 assists and only one turn in 28 minutes. He played pesky defense on Kevin Martin all night.
- Kevin Durant and John Salmons had a nice little "back at ya" thing going on. Salmons drove on Durant several times and Durant couldn't stay in front of him. When Durant had the ball, he either shot over Salmons or drove around him. Neither really defended the other well.
- I thought the Thunder really spread the floor well on offense tonight. They had everybody evenly spaced widely around the floor to start their offense. It causes the Kings to have to defend each man with a man, and prevents "cheating defense" where one guy sort of cheats off and tries to guard two men at once. And it really opens up the lanes for drives.
- Westbrook couldn't get his shot to drop, nor most of his point blank finishes either. He was 1-8 in the first half and finished 3-14 on the night.
- The team seemed to really be floundering in the first half of the third. Coach subbed in Watson for Westbrook and Krstic for Collison and the offense began to flow. It had more to do with Watson than Krstic, but Watson/Weaver seemed to work much better in the third than Westbrook/Weaver.
- I am surprised at myself, but I am firmly in the "keep Earl" camp now, and no longer in the "trade Earl at the deadline" camp. Earl has been a much better player the last month or so. He shot 45% for the month of January and is at 41% so far in February. He's also hitting 33% on his threes lately. In November and December he shot 33% and 39% from the field respectively. Check out his splits here. He provides a very nice veteran presence, and is a steadying influence on those nights when Westbrook plays like a rookie.
- The Kings were driving me nuts in the fourth quarter-they just wouldn't go away. Those three point bombs were ridiculous. Beno Udrih hit one with the shot clock expiring from about 40 feet out.
- Speaking of Beno, we did our best to make Beno look like an All Star tonight.
Some numbers
- The pace was a fairly quick 93 possessions tonight. I had the Sacramento broadcast tonight and they mentioned more than once that the Thunder ran all the time. That's not exactly true. The Thunder seem to run hard on defensive rebounds and turnovers, transition essentially, but just trot the ball up the court after made opponent buckets. Our average pace is 93.6, or about 7th fastest in the league.
- Offensive and defensive efficiency tonight was ridiculous. Offensively we were at 124.7, one of our highest marks of the season (only higher against Golden State and the first Nuggets game). Defensively we were at 121.5, also one of our highest marks of the season (again eclipsed in the Warriors and Nuggets game).
- Only 10 turnovers is a major accomplishment for the Thunder this season.
- The Thunder had 113 scoring opportunities (FGA + FTA), while the Kings had only 96.
- The Thunder managed to get so many more shots at the basket because we outrebounded them by 7, had one more block, and two less turns.
- Durant dropped 39 points, but left his 40th bouncing off the rim with the late free throw attempt after the botched in bounds play by the Kings.
- Durant was just simply Superman tonight. There was a stretch when I couldn't remember the last "other" Thunder player who had scored. Durant is just the heart and soul of this team, especially offensively.
- Despite Westbrook's shooting woes, he did chip in 8 assists and only 2 turns, 2 steals and got to the line 7 times and got 5 makes.
- Collison went for 15 and 6 in 26 minutes. He got fouled by Spencer Hawes repeatedly and did a lot of work right at the rim.
- Green was quiet tonight with 15 and 7. He just never seemed to impact the game noticebly.
- Krstic hit his jumpers and scored 15, but only got his hands on one rebound….one, in 21 minutes.
- Joe Smith was hitting the front of the rim all night on his jumpers, but did get 5 rebs in 18 minutes.

By Kevin Stein
In this fresh poetry collection, Kevin Stein tussles with the current American moment's skewed notions of social and aesthetic value. His gallery of subjects is bracingly contemporary, including Gold Star Mothers who've lost a child to war, nightshift factory workers, estranged veterans, guitarist Les Paul, one couple's yard sale romance, a dog's Valentine poem, and even riffs on toilet paper, Herodotus, congressional discord, and league bowlers. To each, Stein brings both empathy and an astute eye for cultural foibles. He maps his poetic province from this welter, grappling with Li Po's quest for lyrical detachment as well as the counter urge for communal engagement. These poems—formally inventive and refreshingly accessible, at turns darkly humorous and trippingly caustic—pull no punches. They pose fundamental questions of self and art in the modern era.
About the Author
Kevin Stein is a poet and essayist whose work has appeared in numerous journals, including American Poetry Review, Boulevard,Colorado Review, theKenyon Review, Poetry, andTriQuarterly. He has written 11 books, includingAmerican Ghost Roses,Poetry's Afterlife, andSufficiency of the Actual. He is a teacher at Bradley University and has served as Illinois Poet Laureate since 2003. He lives in Dunlap, Illinois.
Praise for Wrestling Li Po
"Playful and serious, a tour de force that covers expansive, intimate landscapes. Robust in scope and breadth, this collection doesn't exchange any glancing blows; everything's up front and grounded in a personal lyricism."—Yusef Komunyakaa, author, The Chameleon Couch
"Intense, provocative, ever-so-timely—yet timeless—Kevin Stein's Wrestling Li Po for the Remote melds dazzling specificity with philosophical expansiveness. The level of creativity, thoughtfulness, and craft in this brilliant, multifaceted book is astonishing and impossible to forget."—Susan Hahn, author, The Six Granddaughters of Cecil Slaughter

I have placed my Toshibas750 from Win7 to XP and today I am holding Adapter trouble with myWiFi. It is saying driver not setup. I have downloaded and setupevery driver from Toshiba but it did not work. Please assist me.
I have placed my Toshibas750 from Win7 to XP and today I am holding Adapter trouble with myWiFi. It is saying driver not setup. I have downloaded and setupevery driver from Toshiba but it did not work. Please assist me.
You can download your drivers here, but if the computer sent with Windows 7 there are likely not any drivers for XP
There is a driver for XP with Toshiba website and I have setup it. It does not look to go via the complete installation set-up when I click it it merely look to stop. When I installed IntelPro/wireless it says there is no driver for the adapter.
When you save a driver from a website, and you click it, it should Unzip a file to a place on your C: drive. C:\Drivers. Bring note of this location. Merely go to Start Menu or Run and enter devimgmt.msc and then enter. In the Device Manager any devices with yellow marks need drivers setup. Underneath Network Adapters, right click the Wireless adapter and select Update Driver. Nowadays browse it to the location where the driver downloaded to. and highlight the .inf file to setup the driver.
I did unzip the files and did all the procedures above but it would not encounter it. An Indian tech support guy told me that though Toshiba have XP drivers on their website they do not guarantee that it will work.(?) Is there any tricks or other ways of doing it?
Is there yellow beside of anything in the device manager?????
Like called for :
those are the driver detail underneath Hardware ID
Which Windows XP service pack are you applying??? I ask because presently just Windows SP3 has support from Microsoft and other vendors. Thus if it is XP Sp2 the drivers might not work. Add as you have already heard, technology does not feel back. If the machine arrived on Windows 7 then there is the possibility that it would not work exactly on lower versions of Windows as machines are optimized for a sure OS. Examine the sticker on the PC, it will tell you "DESIGNED FOR ."
Considerable I merely reinstalled windows 7 using my own disk and I am having the same trouble. No network controller driver..
Have you setup the Chipset drivers? You should be able to install the most drivers from the manufacturer website. The wireless driver can be detected.

CAMDEN Seven organizations applied to open "renaissance schools" in Camden last week, including one seeking to operate Camden High School along with two city elementary schools.
State-appointed Superintendent Paymon Rouhanifard and members of his administration will now review the stacks of paper filed away on the seventh floor of the administration building to determine whether any will be approved.
In December, Rouhanifard put out a request for proposals for renaissance schools, public-private, charter-like schools created under the Urban Hope Act.

The newest wrinkle in suntans is the ultimate Me Generation frill. Instead of blowing a bundle on a trip to Acapulco, or even shlepping out to the local pool, a buyer just pops a pill and—presto!—sun-bronzed beauty within a fortnight. It sounds implausible, but so-called tanning tablets are being sold in drugstores around the country. There has been a run on the pills wherever they have appeared, although the Food and Drug Administration has not approved their sale.
Last March, for instance, a fair-skinned South Carolina housewife named Carol Thomason, 25, began taking Riviera Tanning Tablets (they now go by the name Hawaiian Tanning Tablets), which claim to produce "a beautiful golden tan all year round!" But by April, she says, "the palms of my hands and feet turned real orange. Then I got hepatitis." Her physician says Carol suffers from "drug-related hepatitis, the kind that comes from certain antidepressants and tranquilizers, yet she was not on any other medication and did not drink alcohol during that period. While there's no definitive test on the pills," says Dr. Gary Cottingim of Mauldin, S.C., "I know that as soon as Mrs. Thomason stopped taking them, her liver improved rapidly." New York dermatologist Dr. Norman Orentreich casts further doubts on the tablets. "Think of them as skin and fat stains—not an elegant color," he says. "There might be side effects which could have an adverse reaction on women with cystic breasts."
The pills, which sell for $30 per bottle of 72, are taken once to several times daily depending on the user's body weight. Wrapped in Mylar, to protect against light and humidity, the tablets contain two chemicals: beta carotene, from carrots and other vegetables, plus canthaxanthin, a food additive frequently used to enhance the color of pizza, barbecue sauce, orange juice and pet foods. Though accepted as coloring agents for food, cosmetics and some drugs, the ingredients have not been deemed legal for use in tanning tablets pending FDA approval. Since a May 28 FDA Import Alert, some three dozen packages have been seized at U.S. airports, most of them en route from Canada where the pills are permitted.
Many of the pills on the U.S. market are being turned out by the Cosmetest Division of Cosmetic Sciences, Inc. in East Rutherford, N.J. Pharmacist president Mario Ebanietti has been selling the tabs since November 1980, when he claims he first filed a still unanswered petition with the FDA for permission to sell his product. "We just couldn't wait any longer. We were concerned about people who cannot go out in the sun," he says blithely. Answers FDA spokesman Jim Greene: "A petition is not something to be taken lightly. We first heard from Ebanietti in mid-June of this year, and then it was a four-paragraph letter without even the $2,600 fee. Most legitimate firms know the system, and if they don't, they have to learn. The FDA is not considering this a formal petition." Since the pills are not yet regarded as an "immediate health hazard," the FDA has not forced the closing of Ebanietti's operation. Also, "We haven't got the money or the manpower to grab the pills off the shelves," admits the FDA's Greene.
An avowed tan-tablet taker himself, Ebanietti rejects claims of health hazards and argues that the lifeguard look, whether it comes from the inside or out, offers lots of advantages. "If three equally qualified people want the same job," reasons Ebanietti, "the employer would pick the tanned one because he or she would signify health." But how about an orange job applicant?

Quote of the day
"No, we pay 'em. We've got to go. Welcome to 2013. Right back into the swing of things. Most of the caddies, they are used to looping and I know they are coming off a little bit of a break, so it might be a little tougher (for) any of the guys just walking normally. And if we have any rain gear, umbrellas, bags are going to be heavy. There's going to be a lot of guys sleeping well tomorrow night if we make it 36."

Retired NFL players win the right to sue EA, basically
Today, retired NFL players got a major legal win against Electronic Arts. Judge Richard Seeborg, of California's Northern District, ruled that in the case of Davis et al. v. Electronic Arts Inc., the 6,000 retired NFL players will be able to move forward in their lawsuit against the game company. Lead plaintiffs in the case (including Tony Davis, Vince Ferragamo and Billy Joe DuPree) are basically suing for the use of their likenesses, which EA believed they had the right to use without compensation thanks to California law and the First Amendment. EA attempted to get the case dismissed based on California's Anti-SLAPP statutes, which argue that legal cases basically meant to antagonize someone shouldn't be able to move forward, but the court rejected EA's positions. The NFL players are represented by Thomas Whitelaw & Katz, LLP. Matthew Meskell, who argued the case on behalf of the players, said, "The Court'sRead more →By Tiffany Nevin in News No comments yet

A Small Town Heals Itself
In Rural Arkansas, a Community Comes Together to Provide Health Care for All
If it were up to Dan Bell, no one in this Arkansas resort town in the Ozark Mountains would ever worry about how to pay for health care again. And these days, far fewer need to, thanks to the twice-monthly clinic he and wife Suzie, 57, started in a church gym in November 2005. Staffed entirely by 200 volunteers from town—hairdressers and secretaries and loan officers work alongside off-duty doctors and nurses—the health center has treated about 1,200 people, many of them uninsured minimum-wage workers who haven't set foot in a physician's office in years. "I'd hear about people struggling to afford the doctor, and the next thing you'd know they'd be in the emergency room with some major disease," says Dan, 59, who has practiced family medicine for 25 years in Eureka Springs. "This was one thing we could do." In a region hit hard by a decline in construction and where nearly half of the town's 2,300 residents lack insurance, the clinic, says Mayor Dani Joy, "fills such a void."
What makes it work: Everyone has a job. Converting the gymnasium at Faith Christian Family Church into a walk-in clinic on the second and fourth Thursday of every month, a small army of volunteers takes to its work like a theater crew setting up a show. Up go partitions to create examination rooms; in comes a mobile EKG and blood-pressure monitors. Retired jeweler Carmen Smith draws on her experience as a former nurse to take temperatures and blood pressure. Hairstylist Barbara Dicks helps Suzie, a speech pathologist, handle patient relations. Computer analyst Sam Ward runs the system for the clinic's pharmacy. "We do this out of love for our fellow man," says Sam, "and we're all getting something back."
Among the grateful patients: Dale Ertel, 56, who had gone without prescribed prostate medication for four years; now Dale, who makes $13,000 a year delivering newspapers and running an educational exhibit, has his prescription renewed every three months. "I used to be so scared about my health," he says. "This place is a blessing." Virginia Hillman fell into a severe depression after her husband died; Dan Bell got her on medication while teaching her some coping skills. "Dr. Bell," says Virginia, 57, "helped me get back on my feet."
Things are looking up for Tandy too. She's newly remarried, has a job as a marketing director and, after losing weight, no longer needs blood-pressure medication. She hopes to return to the clinic—only this time as a volunteer. These days, she says, "I feel pretty strong."

2012 is coming to a close, and since we are all still here after yet another failed doomsday prediction, it is time to look to the future.
The past year has been a year that has had plenty of highs and lows, but there is no doubt that WWE has made many changes for the better.
CM Punk's title reign, the energized tag team division and more attention to storyline have been big upsides to the past year, and I only see WWE making more improvements going forward.
2013 is going to be an interesting year to say the least, and we have plenty of things to look forward to from Vince McMahon and Co.
Let's take a look at six things we can look forward to in 2013.

Q. What are your day-to-day duties at St. Basil The Great?
A. As a Pastoral Associate, my activities within the local church community vary from day to day. Together with members of the parish, I lead a process known as the RCIA, which stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. This is an ancient process by which people in the early church prepared for Baptism, and which was reclaimed following Vatican Council II. It is a process that includes not only instruction in the faith, but opportunities for deepening one's prayer life as well as for outreach to those in need, and it culminates with one's formal reception into the faith through baptism and/or confirmation and sharing in the Eucharist. I am able to use my master's degree in scripture and spirituality by leading scripture study groups throughout the year, as well as by working with our Spiritual Life Commission to provide retreats and other experiences of adult faith formation. In addition, I have been given the opportunity to collaborate with others through a multi-parish committee that plans a yearly program of adult education, as well as through our local ecumenical association which meets monthly. Finally, I lead a weekly Centering Prayer group and provide pastoral counseling and spiritual direction as requested.
Q. How has your role in the community evolved?
A. Over the years I've had the opportunity to minister in many different ways. Initially, I was a teacher in grade school, then went on to teach English and religion in high school. I've been engaged in parish work for 12 years, but between these parish commitments, I also worked as a psychotherapist for 17 years at a mental health agency here in Cleveland and taught social work courses at CWRU. All of these experiences have been very enriching, and definitely contribute to my current work in ministry.
Q. What professional options are available to someone who might be interested in your vocation?
A. This of course varies among the different religious congregations, since some specialize in certain chosen ministries. In my own Franciscan community, we are not limited to certain fields of work and are encouraged to discern how God might be leading us to use our unique talents/gifts in service to others. We seek guidance from one another in this process, and our leadership evaluates and affirms those choices that "fit" both our individual and communal goals.
Q. How have living arrangements changed for sisters?
A. Many people think that we all live in large convents of the kind often pictured in movies. Some of us do, but more and more sisters live, either alone or in small groups, in neighborhood homes and apartments near their ministry. Instead of being separated from the everyday life and experience of others, we want to share more fully in it. St. Francis, in particular, spoke of the whole world as his monastery, emphasizing our need to discover the presence and activity of God's spirit everywhere, and among all people. With this in mind, many sisters choose especially to live among the poor that they may become more sensitive to the gifts and insights to be learned from those who are on the margins of society, not only to be aware of their needs.
Q. Do you believe God has a sense of humor? Please explain or give examples.
A. Absolutely! When I become frustrated with myself or with the normal ups and downs of life, I often think of a comment made by St. Theresa of Avila when during one of her many long journeys in Spain, she endured a bad fall from the cart on which she was traveling. She said, "God, if this is how you treat your friends, no wonder you have so many enemies!" I think she could say this so easily because she regarded God as a good friend with whom she could joke about our common expectations of how life "should be." For those of us who in some fashion have chosen a religious or spiritual commitment in life, it is not uncommon to think that all will be beautiful and filled with consolation. Yet we, like every human being, experience both joy and sorrow, personal failure and moments of fulfillment. Faith can help us to see a deeper dimension to it all, but it can also help us to accept and laugh at the human condition, as I believe God does as well.

If there are two things Razeen Basunia knows, it's clouds and medical terms.
And both things came in handy Tuesday in helping the Rollings Middle School of the Arts seventh grader win Spellbound!, the Lowcountry's regional spelling bee.
It took 15 rounds for the field of 50 spellers to be narrowed to two, Razeen and Charleston Catholic fifth grader, Joshua Ludlam.
First the boys, both 11, stumbled on "spondean," then Razeen spelled "credenda" before Joshua misspelled "altocumulus."
After Razeen spelled it, and the judges initially said it was wrong, as Razeen stood baffled on the stage.
After conferring, they reversed their decision.
Razeen then went on to win with "polypharmacy."
"When he was 6 or 7, he was fascinated with clouds, so I thought he heard that word before," said his mother, Ayesha Zaman, afterwards.
"And my mom is a registered nurse, so I know a lot of medical words," Razeen added.
Razeen, winner of this year's Dorchester District 2 bee, is also a son of Mahmudunnabi Basunia.
He placed fourth at last year's Spellbound! competition.
A piano student at Rollings who skipped second and third grades, Razeen said he knew most of the words given to spellers on Tuesday.
"I was just thinking if I lost, then me staying up to 3 a.m. last night would have been all for nothing," said Razeen, he said. "So here's one thing I know now: I just can't believe I won this."
Joshua, the son of Gary and Cheryl Ludlam of Goose Creek, carries on a family tradition. Last year his sister, Elizabeth, finished second in the competition while representing Divine Redeemer Catholic School as an eighth grader.
The Spellbound! competition started with 50 finalists representing Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester 2, Dorchester 4 and Colleton County school districts, as well as Lowcountry Catholic Schools, the South Carolina Independent School Association and Lowcountry Home and Private Schools. More than 40,000 students took part in the elimination process.
Razeen won an all-expense paid trip to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which will be held May 25 to 31 in Washington, D.C.
