Bobbi Brown is releasing a new limited edition collection that I just had to share with you! I love the pinks and purples in this collection (mostly because they look great with brown eyes), and the grey is the perfect complement to "ground" the colors. There isn't shimmer galore, making these items more friendly to those of us over 25 (another reason to love Bobbi). I'm definitely going to be checking out this collection!
"The pinks and purples in this collection are inspired by peonies, my favorite flower. Peonies are lush, decadent and delicate — just like the colors in the limited palette. I've also incorporated grey, a color that was big on the runways this season. A great neutral, it's totally versatile and a cool counterpoint to pink. And because I love accessories just as much as the next girl, I asked Tibi to design a makeup case to match."
~Bobbi Brown
The Beauty Case ($40) is pictured above, and I love it! Read on to see what the actual make up looks like.
Peony & Python Palette $50

The picture really shows how amazing the grey colors are in this palette. I have a feeling they'll be ones I'd reach for over and over.
Peony & Python Collection $95, Neiman Marcus Exclusive
Click the image to enlarge
The little sets that Bobbi puts together for her collections are usually full of universally flattering must have items. This set isn't any different.
• Pink Peony Illuminating Bronzer
• Black Mauve Shimmer Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
• Pink Lilac Brightening Lip Gloss
• Mini Face Blender Brush
• Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush
Pale Peony Rich Color Gloss $22
Lilac Rich Lip Color SPF 12 $22
I'm not sure which of the lip colors I prefer. While I'm a sucker for a gloss, the lip stick is such a pretty pink. It may actually be my "perfect" lip color- the elusive color of my inner lip but just slightly darker. Both promise to work year round.

Garmin Forerunner 235 Heart Rate Monitoring Watch
The watch that knows more about you that you do
Watches are getting SMART. Very smart. And Garmin has plenty of data to benchmark your fitness and data to work out things about you that you may not even know yourself. For example, do you know your VO2 max? And your race times? Maybe you do, but Garmin also knows. And after just one run it will get pretty close to sharing this data with you.
Sleep Tracking with the Garmin Forerunner 235
Telling your sleep tracking device when you are actually asleep is not really great. There is a window between arming your watch and actually falling asleep. Also, you have to remember to actually click the sleep button. And on most watches and trackers it is not just a single button press. You will need to turn on the lights to follow the process to put the device to sleep, probably delaying the time it takes you to get to sleep by several minutes... Anyway, the Garmin Forerunner 235 you do not tell it when you go to sleep. It just knows! In the software when syncing the app with your watch, you will let it know your standard sleep and wake times. For most of us we have some sort of routine. But that is it. From here, we let the device take control. And as of today, it seems the latest software update on the Garmin Fenix 3 also has removed the functionality to tell the watch you are off to sleep (although this version of the Fenix 3 does not have the built in heart rate monitor).
Heart Rate Monitor Without Chest Strap
The nice thing about wrist based heart rate tracking is not having to 1. Wear a chest strap, 2. remember your chest strap, 3. Remember to put it on once you have got dressed and not having to strip down once you are ready to leave, 4. Wash your chest strap, 5. worry about pairing your chest strap, 6. Have an uncomfortable chest strap on sliding around your body giving missing and blank data.... etc.
Saying that, it is very hard for wrist based devices to compete with the accuracy of chest based tracking when they are fitted correctly.
Heart rate tracking throughout the day
So the Garmin Forerunner 235 tracks your heart rate throughout the day. And yes, this does have an impact on battery life. But if you are sitting and there is less change in your heart rate data, it will start to take a reading less frequently. You can look at your screen and get a snapshot of the last 4 hours of data. See what your heart rate has been up to. Did that last phone call really take you over the edge?
Why do we want heart rate monitoring?
Training with heart rate data has so many benefits. If you are new to heart rate tracking and training I suggest you read our post about training with heart rate data. There are many benefits ranging from how hard you are training through to your rest and recovery. Many purists do not want or see a need to know this info. But for many tech heads the data is one extra toy that helps you get up to train.
Other reports you can pick up in Garmin Connect include a pie chart of activity categorised into Highly Active, Active, Sedentary and Sleeping. Giving that being sedentary is twice as likely to kill you then being overweight (source NHS), this is useful info. It may even save your life!
Heart rate monitor gps watch
If you are looking for an activity tracker watch, with GPS and heart rate this probably is the watch for you. For a watch with heart rate monitor built-in it is a new benchmark.
Heart Rate Data Accuracy
My first run for comparing the heart rate accuracy data was 6.5k run. With some on road, on beach running. Garmin Fenix reports an average heart rate of 170 bpm (using a trusted arm band heart rate monitor from Scosche tested and collaborated against chest heart rate trackers). The Forerunner 235 reports 169 bpm.
Fenix data below in green and the Forerunner 235 in red. Overlaid for comparison.
As you can see the charts do not completely align. For comparison when I tested a Mio Fuse wrist based heart rate tracker the data matched almost exactly:
After a two hour bike ride the average heart rate from the two devices was only 1 bpm different.
Overall the data matches pretty closely apart from a few places where something obviously goes wrong.
VO2 Max
After a few runs it has adjusted my VO2 max to 49. My Garmin Fenix 3 is 54 for running and 50 for cycling. VO2 testing will be comping soon to see how accurate the data is, but after 4 runs the watches were almost in sync with each other.
Garmin Connect Via the App
With Garmin products you can only have one device set-up as an activity tracker, so I created a new account on an old phone. No problems with this process but when I wanted to login to Garmin's website online to view the data you can only login with email. No idea what I used here. I only have my connect name. Quick(ish) call to Garmin and they could help me out here. I thought I would share this in case someone else is stupid enough to do the same!
As a watch that does everything this really is an excellent device. Activity tracking, heart rate and running all to the highest of quality. If you are after a fitness tracker read up on the other wearables we have reviewed. Or you may already be sold on the Garmin Forerunner 235.

In "Abusing Tikkun Olam," (March 23) Joel Alperson writes that "Jewishly speaking, tikkun olam without God is impossible." Quite the contrary. In its original usage in the Mishnah, tikkun olam was the rabbinic principle that allowed God's decrees in the Torah to be set aside whenever they got in the way of maintaining a stable social order. According to both Maimonides and the influential 14th-century talmudist Rabbi Nissim of Gerona, a Jewish king may, if the exigency of the hour demands it, execute criminals without proper evidence for the sake of tikkun olam. Thus, if the concept of tikkun olam is best heralded in support of any policy position, it is clearly the right-wing position that some of the niceties of American criminal law can legitimately be suspended in the War on Terror.

What's the best way to demonstrate the relationship among concepts, key terms, events, significant characters, themes, and other pieces of course content?
Visual representations of your topic can really help students see which items work together and which items are in tension with one another. The tools outlined in this post tilt a little more toward the concept-mapping and diagramming end of things, although they certainly could be used to illustrate digital story elements like branching scenarios and diminishing choices.
I've covered a few products below, and Chris Clark at the University of Notre Dame's Kaneb Center for Teaching and Learning offers a nice discussion of the myriad ways to use graphic organizers and mind maps.
Lucidchart is more of a whiteboard diagramming tool, but it supports Venn diagrams, flowcharts, and site maps, and org charts. Templates (including those for software, network, and systems design), objects, shapes and fonts are provided; you can also upload your own photos and embed documents. LucidChart offers free educational licenses (equivalent to the Team-level premium option in terms of features).
LucidChart is a pretty powerful collaborative option. With this tool, all content is created online and stored in the cloud. This certainly makes collaboration easier, whether your students are working together to build a scenario or whether you are working with colleagues to connect content from various disciplines. All changes appear in real-time and there is no limit to the number of users who can collaborate on a document; conveniently, there is an embedded group chat feature. Revision history is also available. When your work is complete, you can publish to the web or PDF.
Below is a brief Lucidchart demo:
Creately is similar to Lucidchart in that it is also a mapping whiteboard with a variety of export/import, template, and privacy options. Creately also offers desktop software that you can use on your computer if you happen to be offline; the next time you connect to the internet, the software will automatically sync with your content in the cloud. Alas, Creately isn't free: the cloud-based version costs $5 per month for a single user and $25 for up to 5 users, though the price is reduced for charity or open-source projects. The desktop software bills separately.
Below is a brief Creately demo:
Spicynodes is another diagramming / concept map tool. The emphasis here is more on organization and brevity, quickly displaying relevant information so that a reader scanning the content can locate exactly what she needs. I like that you can integrate images, links, videos, and audio files. Spicynodes also has previous / next arrows in several foreign languages. Alas, it is flash-based, so you'll want to think about that and device compatibility, depending on how / when you will use spicynodes; Spicynodes is primarily designed to be published online, on a website or blog. The free version allows you to create an unlimited number of node maps, although some of the nice features (in terms of design, privacy controls, and collaboration) are reserved for the paid subscriptions. As other reviewers have noted, the American Association of School Librarians selected SpicyNodes as one of its 2011 Best Websites for Teaching and Learning.
Here is a sample spicynode (click on the image to be taken to a new page where you can experience the interactive features).
Last, we've talked about Prezi before on this blog, but Prezi is also a great tool for allowing learners some choice in how they relate pieces of content to each other. Focusing the branching scenarios and content clusters around topics, themes, characters, situations, diagnoses, etc. lets students actively engage with course content. Here is an example from Ian Beatty showing how a prezi concept map can help introduce students to key course concepts (this was published on Derek Bruff's blog).
Better yet, Derek's blog post includes examples of how concept maps can be used at the beginning, middle, and end of a course. This really does seem like great way to share a road map for the course, transition between topics, or synthesize knowledge at the conclusion of the class.
Do you have a favorite digital visualization tool? Or favorite way to use such tools in your course? We'd love to hear about it!

Although I had worked with five attorneys prior to working with Mr. Guiterman, I never had an advocate until I hired him. Mr. Guiterman is not only knowledgeable about family law, he is a no-nonsense aggressive attorney that will do everything he can to help you. He has the courage to tell you when you are not on the right side of an issue and the skill to find the opposition's weakness. He comes prepared to litigate, if necessary, and to give you the strongest hand in negotiation. While other attorneys seemed to be concentrate in creating billable hours, he focused on helping me efficiently and effectively as possible. Frankly, I do not know what I would have done without his assistance. I highly recommend him for custody and father rights issues.

It has been a quiet day at home. David went shopping while I made a couple of big pots of black-eyed peas for a party tomorrow. If you are from the southern US you must eat black-eyed peas on New Year's Day to ensure good luck for the rest of the year. I have no idea why, I just know that every year of my life January 1st found me eating a big bowl of them. As a child I hated them with a passion but Mom was firm, they were going down my throat one way or another. As an adult I have grown to like them a bit although I pretty much think once a year is enough for me.
The kids have run about like little heathens all day and are filthy and happy. The tortoise is still here in spite of my "No you can't keep him!" edict. It has been named Squirtle and identified as a male Bell's Hingeback Tortoise. He has been lost and found a few times, but seems destined to be a family pet for the time being. The kids started working on a pen for him today after I stepped (barefoot) in turtle poo in the khonde and ultimatums were made.
Now it is dark, in the distance I hear firecrackers going off and David and the boys are making noise about setting off some of our own. I better wish everyone out there a Happy New Years and get outside before I miss all the fun! See you all here in cyberspace on cyberones in 2011!

Merry Christmas Y'all
I didn't get Christmas cards sent out this year. I really meant to. I even bought cards made here in Malawi by a talented artist in the embassy community. I forgot one thing though. Stamps. I didn't ship stamps to post and you can't buy them here but you do need them to send outgoing mail. We are ordering some and will be back in the snail mail business soon. In the meantime a bloggy Christmas greeting to all my family and friends will have to do. Merry Christmas to everyone!
This is our tree this year. It is so encrusted with ornaments it is hard to see the tree. Just the way I like it!
Some of the ornaments like this pretty glass leaf were gifts from dear friends over the years. This one dates back to my teaching days. It is one of a set of three and they were a gift from my co-teacher, another Shannon. We ran the 2nd grade Shannon and Shannon show for a few years. Good times!
Some of the ornaments like this Snow Baby were inherited from Dave's mom Annette and her husband Ray. We miss them still but can't help but to smile as we hang the ornaments on the tree for their grandkids each year.
A lot of the ornaments are ones we have collected over the years. Each person gets a new ornament each year. With six people in the family that adds up to a whole lot of ornaments real quick. The pewter ornament with the three little bears is my ornament from 1998. That is the first year David, Dakota, and I spent Christmas together as a family. This year is the first year we will spend Christmas without Dakota. Where has the time gone?
This year my favorite ornament is this little mouse who has climbed up onto the spire and is all tangled up in the lights. He is just too cute sitting up there all by himself.

Marshmallowy Goodness
As I mentioned yesterday I decided to try making marshmallows from scratch, mostly because I didn't think to order any for hot cocoa this year. I distinctly remember seeing some at Shoprite, but there weren't any when I did the Christmas shopping. I don't know why I found this surprising. Malawi is one of those places where if you see something for sale and you think you might want it, you better buy it on the spot because it is virtually guaranteed to not be there when you go back and it may be months before it shows back up again, if it ever does.
We always have hot cocoa and marshmallows on Christmas but there are no marshmallows to be had. Thankfully gourmet homemade marshmallows have been all the rage the last few years with stores like William Sonoma selling them for ridiculous prices so there are tons of recipes out there right now. I have to admit that if I had a bag or two of Jet-Puffs I would never have tried this but like many of my cooking adventures desperation sent me to the internet searching for recipes.
My cookbooks all (or almost all) disappeared somewhere along the way during our first international move so I spend a fair amount of time searching the net for recipes. I have a few rules for recipe searches. Stick to sites that have have a way for people to post reviews. Choose recipes that have good reviews and actually take the time read the reviews before starting. That way you can see where people may have run into problems, and how they fixed them. My favorite sites are epicurious.com, cookinglight.com, and allrecipes.com. There are also a few cooking blogs that I follow. In some ways I am glad that I lost my cookbooks. My repertoire of recipes is certainly much more diverse than it used to be.
Marshmallows. Surprisingly easy, incredibly sticky! I used this recipe from epicurious.com that was originally published by Gourmet magazine. I didn't need any special equipment I didn't already have, just a stand mixer and a candy thermometer. It only took about 30 minutes to turn sugar, corn syrup, water, egg whites, vanilla, and gelatin into a tray of marshmallow goo. Several hours later it had dried into a giant marshmallow waiting to cut into smaller marshmallows.
The basic idea is to soften the gelatin in a bit of water and beat the egg whites into stiff peaks. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and a bit of salt and boil it until it reaches 240 Fahrenheit. I went just a bit over that thanks to some kid distractions and it still worked. Then pour the hot syrup over then gelatin, stir until it the gelatin dissolves and then beat on high until it forms stiff peaks. This took long enough to make me very glad I was using a Kitchenaide stand mixer and not my old hand mixer. Then add in the vanilla and egg whites and beat it some more. Pour it into a a greased pan and let cool uncovered for several hours. I just left it overnight and it worked perfectly. That's it. It was pretty easy.
When trying to find out more about making marshmallows I ran across this blog about making marshmallows. It was totally hilarious. I didn't have the same problems she did but managed to run into other problems of my own. The hardest thing for me was cutting the marshmallows. Everything was sticky. I had a hard time getting the slab of marshmallow out of the pan. It stuck to the pan, it stuck to my fingers, it stuck to the knife, it was just plain sticky. I started throwing powdered sugar all over everything and that helped, a lot. One of my favorite food bloggers said to oil the pan, put parchment in the bottom of the pan then oil that too. I will definitely try that next time. I tried cutting the marshmallows with a knife and very quickly switched to a pizza cutter. Eventually I ended up with a beautiful pile of marshmallows and a counter (and floor, and stovetop, and coffee pot) all covered in powdered sugar. It looked just like snow. It finally looks a little like Christmas here in the tropics.
I tried to get David to pose with a cup of cocoa with melting marshmallows for this blog post and suddenly realized why it is so hard to get the kids to all pose nicely when I have a camera. It's genetic! I am including these pictures for your Christmas enjoyment! Merry Christmas Y'all!

Christmasy Food
What do you eat on Christmas? Do you eat the same thing every year? Do you use that day as an excuse to try fancy new recipes? Thanksgiving has the turkey, what foods spell Christmas to you? In our house Christmas day usually means ham. Too bad the only ham we could find costs a fortune and is at a store that has had ongoing problems with it's cold storage system resulting in random meat spoilage. No ham this year. This is truly the first year I can remember without a ham.
To add to the culinary failure in progress Christmas Eve means tamales and chili. Since I made tamales and chili a few weeks ago as part of Dakota's week long leaving home feast we are all tamaled out, although the kids have let me know they will take another Big Red, thanks. So what to do this year? How to make it feel like Christmas despite the 90 degree weather, no ham, and tamale overload?
David suggested gnocchi which is one of our favorites, but there was a unanimous "Not Knee-Yucky!" chorus from the kids. Sick little critters. In fact pasta was shot down across the board as not "Christmasy enough". There were suggestions for turkey which I politely ignored, once a year is quite enough. I thought of steak but somehow that seems more like summer BBQ than Christmas dinner. Of course it is summer here, so maybe it isn't such a bad idea.
We finally settled on baked chicken with green beans, potatoes au gratin, cranberry sauce out of a can (BLECH), homemade bread, and creme brulee for dessert for Christmas Eve. Christmas Day we will have a beef stew, fresh rolls, and apple pie with ice cream for dessert. Simple, homey, comfort food. Well except for Colin's creme brulee and even that's not too hard to make.
In case you think I for got about breakfast on Christmas Eve we will have pancakes made by Alonzo. He makes the best pancakes light and fluffy and just a tiny bit sweet. On Christmas Day will will have beignets otherwise know by my kids as donut holes. And while we are opening the presents hot cocoa with marshmallows. Yummy!
Today's adventure was making the marshmallows. I have looked all over town and can't find a bag of marshmallows anywhere so I tried making them. I say tried because I am not sure yet if they are going to set up the way the are supposed to but when I licked the bowl it tasted like the best marshmallow fluff ever. So my fingers are crossed it all worked out and we will have pretty homemade marshmallows melting in our hot cocoa come Christmas morning, if not I am just putting a big spoonful of marshmallow fluff and calling it good enough. I will post an update later with pictures if they work out. If you are dying to try making some yourself the recipe can be found at epicurious.com.

Look What Showed Up
Yes that is David reading to Colin from my brand new Kindle. It showed up this week. Awhile back I blogged about my birthday present gone awry. In fact I broke the bad news to a number of people that their electronics were being held hostage by the pouch and wouldn't be arriving at post as expected, but I never told the rest of my story.
Unlike a number of people who were told their computer/ipad/camera was in the warehouse, I was told mine had been returned and was not at the warehouse, BUT Amazon had not received it back so we were out the money but had nothing to show for it. We held off contacting Amazon to request a refund because there was still so much confusion as to what was going on. What would the new official policy be? What about all those computers and things in the warehouse? Eventually policy was set and cables issued: "No more lithium ion batteries!" There would be a one time shipment to clear the warehouse. That hurt since my kindle was returned to sender but others would be receiving their electronics. The shipment showed up this week and lo and behold there was my kindle, duly stamped return to sender, but obviously NOT returned. I am a happy camper, let me tell you!
The best thing about the kindle is all the free books! There are hundreds and thousands of free titles out there for e-readers. Some are the classics which are no longer protected by copyright law due to age. Others are special offers by publishers to get you hooked on a series or author. I have already downloaded a half dozen free books to read and have a list a mile long of titles I want either for myself or to read to the kids. Here are a few of the free books I already have or will have by the end of the week. Did I mention they are FREE???

I still love the feel and the smell of a real paper book. I will always have real paper and ink books around me, I love them and that isn't going to change. It's simply a magical feeling to pull a book off the shelf and fall into a new world. If I had access to a library and a bookstore I might not be so excited about an e-reader but I live a few airplane flights away from such luxuries. To be able to have a new book to read with a few key strokes (and some patience with the internet) is amazing! Even better when the e-books are free.

And Then There Were Two
One week ago today I kissed my first born goodbye and sent him off to make his own way in the world. Today exactly one week later I kissed my second born and sent him off to his first ever sleep over camp. He will be gone all week so now I only have two kids at home. How weird is that going to be?

Stanley Update
I have to bring you some bad news. Stanley has passed on to where ever wind scorpions go when they die. RIP Stanley. The boys sill miss you. I'm just praying all those eggs don't hatch. Does anyone out there happen to know how long it will take the eggs to hatch?

And the Kitchen is Officially Closed!
I swear all I have done this week is cook, cook, cook, and cook some more. I have made lasagna noodles from scratch, turned milk into ricotta cheese, steamed homemade tamales, kneaded bread for cinnamon rolls, and pressed corn tortillas so that we could have enchiladas. I have sent more time in that kitchen this week that I usually do in a month. It was all in a good cause, Dakota's last week at home was full of all his favorite foods. I managed to make every single thing he requested. Now he is on his way to the airport and the kitchen is officially closed. If someone in this house is hungry may I suggest raman noodles? Alonzo knows how to cook those.
I will do the same for each of the boys as they leave home. Everyone deserves to be spoiled a bit before they are kicked out of the nest for good. All the same I really hope that the next boy (Alonzo) heads out for bootcamp or college he wants to eat at all his favorite restaurants during that last week.

Dakota came home today with a new board game. It's called bao. It's like mancala on steroids. Dakota decided I needed to learn this game tonight at about 9 pm. I have been up since 5:30 am. I have home schooled Alonzo, mixed up enough masa to make 10 dozen or so tamales, prepped the meat for the tamales, made cookies for tomorrow's Christmas parties at school, cooked the requested beef rendang, cleaned house (sorta), washed enough dishes that I hope I never see another dish again and did two loads of laundry. Oh and I may have had a glass of wine or two sometime this evening.
I lost. I still have no idea how to play the game. What I do know the is the board is very pretty and I want one of my own just so it can look all decorative and cool sitting next to the fireplace with all my other board games. It is just so much cooler looking than Scrabble or Battleship. Don't you think?

Bidding Advice Malawi
If anyone in your family has a fascination with bugs, or has ever wanted to be an entomologist, then Malawi might just be your dream post. I know I am spending way too much time talking about nasty creepy crawlies, but I live with five males all of whom seem drawn to critters. The grosser the better.
Today Dakota comes home from work and says "I have something to show you, it's in the van." Dave piped up "You really should go look." So off I go, all unsuspecting. I am slow that way sometimes. You would think I would learn by now, Huh?
Dakota pulls out his SeaWorld cup that I bought him at last summer. Note to self: Throw away the Seaworld cup when he leaves!! He opens it up and dumps out this nightmare.
That's a waterbug, no not a big cockroach, a giant water bug. Also known as a toe-biter. To all my girls back in the hood who are looking smug right about now thinking that these things don't live in Texas, get over yourselves, they totally do. Of course those are little bitty things only around a inch and half long. We found several at our house in San Antonio so I recognized this thing right away. Mostly because they bite and I make a point of knowing what critters in the neighborhood are likely to hurt me.
Look at this face. He is so pleased with himself that he has found a new yucky bug to gross me out. Like Stanley and the termite swarms aren't already taking care of that. You know after looking at this thing I am liking Stanley more and more.
In case you are wondering Dakota did not glue the bug to the ruler. He set the bug on the ruler so he could get a picture of it showing how horrifyingly big this thing is. The bug immediately grabbed hold of the ruler and refused to let go. I think it was hanging on for dear life. Smart bug, I would have stomped on it if I got a chance.
When he was done playing with the bug did he stomp it like a good son, saving his mom from the horrors of the insect world? No he released the nasty thing in our pretty little pond full of fish and helpless tadpoles.
It took it a minute to let go of the ruler. For a second I thought perhaps they would pull it out of the pond and I would still get a chance to grab my boots and stomp it into oblivion. But then a tadpole swam by and in a flash it let go of the ruler and turned into the predator it is. Now it is loose in the pond. With my luck it's pregnant and soon instead of a pond full of fish and tadpoles I will have a pond full of nightmares.

Stanley Update
Stanely laid eggs. It is reproducing. Oh yay! In case you missed it, this is Stanley, she lives in my living room. I can't tell you how excited I am by this blessed development. More Stanleys. I can't wait.
This morning when I drank my coffee and read a few blogs I got a message. The first two blogs I read both had the same message: Let go of the anger and welcome blessings into your life. What a great message to receive first thing in the morning. I am trying to figure out how this is a blessing but I am coming up a bit short. Any ideas? Anyone?

Special Menu
When you are leaving home for good you should get a bit of spoiling before you go. Right? So this week I let Dakota make the menu. I didn't even complain when a few (or all) of the things he choose are major pain in the behind to make. Remember we are in Malawi. I can't just run to the store and grab some tortillas and we won't discuss the price of cheese around here but when it is available it is precious stuff. Here is what baby boy wants for his going away week.
Enchilada casserole
Tres leche cake
Butter chicken
Beef randang
Indonesian chicken curry
Breakfast tacos
Cinnamon rolls
I think I am going to be spending a lot of the week in the kitchen. I still think it is totally worth it. I hope he enjoys every bite.

That Would Suck!
One week from today Dakota, my firstborn baby will be wheels up and winging his way to Naples Italy, then onward to Great Lakes Illinois for Navy boot camp. I am an emotional mess. But that's not what this post is about. The younger boys have been talking a lot about what they will do when it is their turn to leave home. (This is not perhaps the most helpful conversation to have in front of a very emotional mama. One baby leaving is bad enough, I do not need reminding that eventually they will all leave home.) Tonight's conversation took a turn to the hilarious.
"When I leave home I am going to be a lawyer." Says Colin, my argumentative one. I have to say it is a good choice for his personality."Not me!" piped up Alonzo. "I am going to go to the Navy academy so I can be an officer and Dakota will have to salute when ever he sees me.""Oh man!" Dakota with a horrified look on his face. "That would suck!"

Foreign Food
This week's Weekly State Department Roundup is being hosted by Lauren at Global Geraghtys. The theme this week is "I've Never Eaten That Before." Be sure to click over on Friday to find out what strange things people have eaten during their travels.
I have always been open to trying new food, unless of course it came out of the ocean. I don't like most seafood, so fish are safe around me, otherwise it is fair game. Growing up we raised a lot of our own meat. In addition to the standard cow and pig a year we also raised ducks, chicken, geese, guineas, turkeys, rabbits, goats and occasionally other birds if my mother found something new in the poultry catalog. Yes, you can mail order live poultry. Dad hunts so we had venison most years. Dad also fancies himself a gourmet so we would eat any weird meat he found for sale: rattlesnake, bear, alligator, crawdads, frog legs, you get the idea.
Lest you think we ate only meat we had a large garden and we grew what ever weird thing was in the Burpee seed catalog. Blue potatoes, kohlrabi, yellow tomatoes, spaghetti squash. If something strange showed up in the catalog it was a safe bet it was going to show up in our garden that spring.
When we moved to our first post in Jakarta I was ready to try new things. I very quickly found out that tropical fruit is an acquired taste. By tropical fruit I mean tropical fruits other than pineapples and mangos. There are bunches of fruits that are available in every market in SE Asia that you will never find in your average grocery in America. There is salak (snake fruit), mangosteen, dragon fruit, jackfruit, guava, jambu air (water apple), longan (dragon's eye fruit), rambutan and so many more. Some of these I liked, usually the ones with mild flavors, most I found repulsive. The flavors, smells and textures were just too weird. The kids quickly grew to like them all.
There was one fruit none of us were brave enough to try. A fruit that smells so bad, it is illegal to take it on trains, planes, or into hotel rooms. A fruit so vile that even Andrew Zimmern of Bizzarre Foods can't stomach it. The man eats bugs and likes it, but he can't eat this fruit. And yet this fruit is considered a delicacy.
The undisputed queen of asian tropical fruit is of course the durian. It looks like a big spiky melon of some sort. It actually grows up in trees. I can only imagine it would be fatal to have one fall on your head. The smell is pungent, overwhelming, nauseating, and totally unforgettable once smelled. Shortly before we left Jakarta we finally decided we couldn't leave without trying durian at least once.
Dave found the taste a cross between diesel and overripe pineapple he managed to swallow his bite. I can't even describe the taste but I won't willingly put that in my mouth again and I spat it out much to the amusement of the gathered drivers, pembantus and gardeners. Alonzo and Dakota refused to taste it. Colin and Grayson claimed to like it but I noticed even they didn't line up for a second bite.I just couldn't swallow the durian. Blech!
David didn't like it much either but he did better than me.
I am sure there will be many other culinary adventures in our futures, some good, some bad. I can tell you one thing I won't be eating though, mouse on a stick! Not. Going. To. Happen.

wikiHow to Deal With an Emotionally Distant Parent
As you grow older, you begin to notice things about your parent's personalities in a more objective light. And you also begin to notice that your parents are human, and capable of mistakes and negative personality traits, just like every other human. Emotional distance in a parent can be very trying on a young person; when we are young, we reach out for connection so that we can feel safe, learn about our world, and feel supported. Emotionally distant people are less able to fulfill this teaching role as they are often wrapped up in their own problems, hurts, and disappointments. This isn't going to be easy for you as a child but it is worth being understanding, and learning how to take a perspective of your parent's approach to life as their choices and not as something that means terrible consequences for you.
1Understand what is meant by emotionally distant. Signs that your parent might be behaving in an emotionally distant manner include:
- Not really listening to you
- Overlaying their version of events onto yours
- Not expressing their feelings
- Not validating your feelings
- Not valuing the open expression of feelings in the home
2Understand that is it not your fault. You are neither the cause nor the reason for why a person chooses to be emotionally distant. Only the person behaving in this manner has responsibility for such a choice. It is not about you; it is about them and their hurts, disappointments, poorly handled choices in life. Until they are ready to face up to the realities and learn to trust others more, they are using distancing as a barrier to protect themselves. You can't change your parent but you can change how you approach an emotionally distant person.
3Assert your own feelings. Your feelings do matter, no matter how your emotionally unavailable parent chooses to see this. Get into the habit of discussing your feelings openly and with assurance even if it appears that your parent is disinterested, indifferent, or even annoyed by it. These are their chosen responses and you can demonstrate that expressing feelings is part of who you are and that you will continue to be this way.
4Keep calm. Shouting, fighting, raising your voice, etc. won't change things but can become a bad, repetitive pattern. An emotionally distant person sadly relies on this very kind of response to keep justifying his or her distancing, as a form of proof that feelings always end up in yelling, shouting, aggression. They might find it easy to respond in kind because the heat of the moment allows them to disown their feelings even more and just rely on hurtful statements drawn from their fight and flight response mechanism rather than their reasoned mind. By refusing to shift from being calm, you create a space of safety, which can sometimes reassure an emotionally distant person enough to open up just a little.
5Be repetitive. Don't be afraid to keep stating points about your feelings, as a form of reinforcement. This is very important where the person you are talking to seems to not hear your message. In doing this, it validates your feelings and puts them out in the open. Even if your parent doesn't react obviously or kindly, you have made your effort at clarifying regularly what your feelings are and that you believe them to be valid.
6Reassure them that you love them. Although you might feel that it isn't worth telling them this, it is. Something deep down inside this emotionally unavailable person will hear and heed this message. And it is a lesson for you to learn that loving challenging people can and does make a difference. It also frees you from invalidating your own worth; by projecting love, you are projecting the solid, caring, and self-assured person you deserve to be.
7Look after your own needs. While it is been suggested here that you do a lot of things to deal with your emotionally unavailable parent, you are really doing a lot to validate your own feelings and grow up a whole and psychologically healthy person. Through asserting your feelings and needs, you are learning to stand up for yourself; by dealing with your parent constructively, you are learning how to deal with the many emotionally distant people you will come across in life in varying contexts. Remind yourself often that you are in charge of your reactions, feelings, and motives and that your parent is in charge of theirs; this is not about trying to change anybody else.
8Seek allies. Sometimes your other parent can be a great ally, although this is not always certain because they too might be caught up in the binds of the relationship, uncertain how to deal with the emotionally unavailable partner. There are always other people who can be a source of support and advice for you, including aunts, uncles, friends, teachers, coaches, church or youth group leaders,
Community Q&A
- Take care when reaching out to others that you don't let your vulnerabilities lead you into relationships that are dangerous, emotionally unstable, or manipulative. If something doesn't feel right, leave it well alone.
- If you feel threatened by your parent, seek help immediately. Their anger and inability to control themselves are not your fault and you are not supposed to hang around and get hurt, no matter how much you feel responsible for the situation. It is the angry and hurtful person who is responsible for their behavior and, while many people do not feel this way in the heat of the moment and after years of negative coping habits, getting help can be the very thing that turns around their life.

Stuart Lancaster has been studying the spreadsheets in an effort to establish what his 31-strong World Cup squad could look like.
The Cumbrian likes lists and his beloved A4 diary, containing all the information he needs in the lead-up to the biggest rugby challenge he will ever face, is never far from his side.
As head coach of the host nation for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, Lancaster, 45, is the natural focal point for any discussion about England's chances of reliving the heady days of 2003, when Sir Clive Woodward masterminded a triumph in Sydney that remains the benchmark for everyone who follows.
On paper — or spreadsheet for that matter — England appear to have all the required firepower to mount a winning Cup campaign.
The sheets that tell the full story, however, are the seemingly endless medical bulletins he receives detailing the latest injury problems to befall his squad. The build-up to this RBS Six Nations Championship must have tested his patience but you won't find Lancaster shouting at the moon.
Wales v England - key battles
Wales v England - key battles
1/3 Luther Burrell vs Jamie Roberts
The last time these players went head to head it left Burrell needing treatment for concussion. Roberts was so good playing in Racing Metro colours in that European clash with Northampton he was named Man of the Match. Another performance of that quality from the hard-running centre will totally undermine England's cause and leave Burrell with a big question mark over his ability at this level.
2/3 Chris Robshaw vs Sam Warburton
The battle between the captains is set to encapsulate the whole game. If Robshaw can impose himself on Wales at the break down by slowing their ball and even stealing possession it will give England a massive boost. However, if Warburton is allowed to deliver the kind of all-action game he relishes then Robshaw will be reduced to endless defensive work rather than spearheading attacking play at close quarters.
3/3 Jonny May vs Alex Cuthbert
Two years ago Welsh wing Cuthbert scored a brace of tries to ensure a record home win but he has struggled to recapture that form while May has burst onto the scene as one of the quickest wings in world rugby. His solo try against New Zealand proved he could hurt even the best defence and now the Gloucester flyer has the chance to build on that growing reputation as one of the deadliest finishers in the sport.
While Lancaster must remain a man apart as head coach, he values the interaction with fellow coaches Andy Farrell, Graham Rowntree, Mike Catt and the rest of the management set-up. When Lancaster (right) took over in the wake of the failed 2011 World Cup challenge under Martin Johnson, he worked hard to rebuild team ethos, rules and spirit.
A key factor in that process has been his insistence on personal meetings or phone calls with players who are either in or out of the team and Lancaster has worked hard to create a positive relationship between the national side and the Premiership clubs.
Patently, he has thought long and hard about how he makes the job work. Yet, in the end, he knows that all the spreadsheets, personal relationships and team rules will count for nothing if England fail to get out of their World Cup pool.
With two to go forward into the quarter-finals from a group that includes England, Wales and Australia, nothing can, or will, be taken for granted. Having finished runners-up in the last three Six Nations Championships, there is a pattern of getting close but no cigar.
While Lancaster's supporters would view that as a harsh verdict, given that other countries would have been very happy to finish second three years in a row, England are expected to win things. Lancaster has a contract until 2019, reviewed every year, but failure in 2015 would severely undermine his position.
This year's Six Nations is unlikely to result in a Slam because four of the teams are close, with only Scotland and Italy off the pace, but England need the momentum a title triumph would provide as they head into the World Cup.
Another mediocre showing would leave lingering doubts over Lancaster's ability to produce a team capable of winning the very biggest matches.
That is why Lancaster needs this Six Nations title. It would make a World Cup triumph for England a real possibility.

The outbreak is usually preceded by pain for several days. It is key that antiviral medication such as Valtrex, Famvir or Acyclovir is started within 72 hours of the appearance of the skin lesions. These medications may shorten the course and help alleviate the pain.
If a shingles patient is experiencing severe pain, often times narcotics may be required. There is a patch called Lidoderm which actually numbs the area of the shingles that I have found very helpful to patients. Once the shingles lesions are healed, there is an over the counter cream that is made from cayenne pepper called Zostrix that may help.
For those over 60 years old the shingles vaccine is recommended and I urge my patients to get it. It does not necessarily mean that they will never get shingles, but if they do the course may be less severe.

British architects have just delivered a £500m mega-project in Singapore that may change the default perception of the city whose obsession with panoptic civic order, and financial services, has reportedly made one in six of its residents a dollar millionaire in terms of immediately disposable cash. The Bay South Garden conservatories are the centrepiece of the development, and their two gleaming glass biomes, designed by Chris Wilkinson, feature the world's largest glazed gridshell, a doubly curved grid-like structure.
The gridshell, 200m long and 55m high, may prove that mid-20th century visionary, Buckminster Fuller was not mad. He invented the geodesic dome and popularised the concept of "spaceship Earth", proposed in 1960 the construction of a vast glass biosphere over central Manhattan. The idea was conceptually fabulous, but operationally barking because it would have been impossible to regulate the build-up of heat and pollution inside the dome.
Singapore's biomes are virtually zero-carbon in energy use. The biomes cover two hectares of Mediterranean and cloud-forest gardens, creating closed-loop environments in terms of energy-use and internal climate control.
Chris Wilkinson's project leader, Paul Baker, describes the design as, "an unprecedented integration of sustainability principles into a structure of this size."Reuse content
