That's how it started. One tweet from Lindsay of Love and Olive Oil. With one sentence, she, with the help of Julie of The Little Kitchen, connected over 600 people around the world. Within a month and a half, over 22,000 cookies were boxed up and headed across their respective countries to the eager hands of other cookie lovers like me! 22 THOUSAND cookies. All from a single tweet.
Because of that one single sentence, for the past week I've eaten nothing but cookies for literally every meal. (Seriously. I just ate
|Top: Double Chocolate Macadamia Gingerbread Blondies from Holly, Middle: Gingerbread Snowflakes from Karen, Bottom: Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies from Kate. All amazingly yummy!
As for the cookies I sent across the country—I've found my new favorite gingerbread recipe. I've been using the same one for years now (the first one I ever tried), but felt like it was time to switch it up. And I'm really glad I did. Sorry original recipe, but I think we're breaking up. I've found someone else. You were good, but new recipe is so much more flavorful and soft. So.. I guess this is goodbye.
Also, note to self—Don't drink so much caffeine before trying to pipe details with royal icing. I never realized how bad my hand shakes when I'm all hyped up until I tried to pipe prettiness onto cookies. Needless to say, there were a good amount of cookies that went into the reject/eat pile before I could manage the shakes.
I can't wait til next year for the next cookie swap! Thanks SO much to Lindsay and Julie for setting this all up and connecting us all through the wonderful cookie goodness. They've introduced me to six of my new favorite blogs and bloggers! Megan of Wanna be a Country Cleaver, Andrea of Recipes for Divine Living, and Nicole of The Marvelous Misadventures of a Foodie who I sent my cookies to, and Holly of Phemomenon, Karen of Small Kitchen, Big Taste, and Kate of Cookie and Kate who sent me their amazingly delicious cookies! Thanks so much!
Want to get in early on the action for the next swap? Sign up for all the emails now, so you'll be the first to know all the details next year.
Adapted from Annie's Eats and Bake at 350
Makes about 5 dozen 2-inch round cookies
4 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup molasses
1 large egg
Royal Icing:
4 tablespoons meringue powder
1 pound (4 cups) confectioners' sugar
Scant ½ cup water
¼ teaspoon lemon extract (or another clear extract)
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
Food coloring
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices; set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in molasses and egg, beating to combine. Add flour mixture a little at a time, mixing until just incorporated. Turn out dough onto clean work surface and divide into four portions. Pat each portion into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill in fridge until firm, at least 1 hour.
3. When dough is chilled, preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
4. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to ¼-inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters in desired shapes. Transfer shapes to prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Reroll scraps as needed. Place the cut dough, on the baking sheets, in the fridge to chill for about 20 minutes.
5. When chilled, bake, rotating pans halfway through, until cookies are puffed and edges are just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Let stand on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once cookies are cooled completely, make royal icing: In the clean bowl of an electric mixer on low speed, mix together meringue powder, confectioners' sugar, water, and extract until combined. Add corn syrup and mix to combine. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for about 3 minutes. (It will still look a little runny, and but should hold a line drawn through it with a knife for 5 to 10 seconds. If it rushes back in less than 5 seconds, beat a little longer. If it holds the line for more than 10 seconds, add a small amount of water (a teaspoon at a time) to the icing and beat until it is combined, testing until it reaches the right consistency.)
7. Divide icing into bowls and add food coloring, mixing until color is completely incorporated. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small round tip (I used a Wilton #3).
8. Working with one cookie at a time, pipe the outline on your cookie, holding the tip about a ½-inch above the cookie and letting the icing fall onto the cookie around the edges of your shape. Then begin to fill the cookie, making zig-zag shapes across the cookie, fairly close together (or whatever works for you).With a small offset spatula, or the tip of a butter knife, gently spread the icing across the cookie to fill in any gaps. Once filled, lightly shake the cookie back and forth (or tap gently on a flat work surface) a few times to help settle the icing. Allow icing to dry for several hours before piping on any raised details*, allowing the final design to dry completely before storing. (I usually let mine dry overnight.)
*Note: If you're doing very small or intricate details, you'll probably need to beat your frosting again to stiffen it back up. Just put it back in the mixer and beat for a few minutes more to create a thicker, stiffer consistency.

The last time I drank chocolate milk I was probably 11 years old. And then there was nothing quite as satisfying as a tall glass of cold milk with a squirt (or two or three) of chocolate syrup and a straw...
Now I indulge my chocolate cravings with a little bit more refinement, such as with flourless chocolate cake with salted caramel sauce, mocha pots de creme with whipped cream and rich dark chocolate ganache truffles.
Still though, now and then it's the simple things that are the best - the treats that remind me of being a kid again - like smore's and chocolate syrup and cubes of red jello topped with cool whip. Those jugs of pre-mixed chocolate milk were just never the same as getting to mix it yourself, since it's very important to have control over the chocolate-to-milk ratio!
This syrup only takes a few minutes to make, and is incredibly dark and chocolatey, with a hint of espresso. Which makes it a grown-up chocolate syrup, right? You can, of course, leave out the espresso, but I like the intensity it adds.
When you get a little syrup around your mouth and don't even notice, or gulp down the milk without taking a breath like it's just what you've been needing to quench your chocolate thirst, then you know it's the best kind of treat.
And when your mom looked at the amount of chocolate you squirted into your milk and said "Don't you think that's chocolatey enough?", that meant you probably needed a little more.
After all, is there such a thing as chocolatey enough?
Chocolate Espresso Syrup
printable recipe
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dark corn syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tablespoon espresso powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Note: This syrup has an intense, dark chocolate flavor that is not very sweet. For a sweeter syrup, increase sugar to 1 cup.
In a saucepan, bring the water, sugar and corn syrup to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and whisk in the cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt, whisking until smooth. Simmer on low until the syrup has thickened enough to coat a spoon, about 3-5 minutes (keep in mind that it will thicken a lot as it cools, so don't overcook it).
Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until smooth. If any lumps remain, you can pour the mixture through a mesh strainer. Cool to room temperature then pour into a glass jar or squeeze bottle and refrigerate. If the syrup seems too thick when it's cooled, just whisk in a little warm water until it's the right consistency.
Enjoy over ice cream, in chocolate milk, in brownie batter, or anything else you like to add chocolate syrup to! Best used within a few weeks.
Yields about 1 1/2 cups.

Scott Eastwood, where have you been all our lives? Clint Eastwood's handsome 27-year-old son seems to suddenly be everywhere after his swoon-worthy spread in Town & Country. Not that that's a bad thing — the Fury actor is incredibly easy on the eyes and, according to stepmother Dina Eastwood, as great on the inside as he is on the outside.
Dina, who recently separated from Scott's dad after 17 years of marriage, has known the hunky rising star since he was just a little boy. And to say that she adores him is an understatement.
"He is an amazing young man!" she gushes to Us Weekly. "He has had nothing handed to him — ever. He works as a bartender when he is not acting. He has to pay the bills!"
(Indeed, the younger Eastwood told Town & Country that he's worked hard to support himself. "People assumed that I would have everything handed to me, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I was on my own just doing the grind," he said of his past work experience, which also includes stints as a construction worker and valet.)
That's not to say he doesn't have time for fun, though. Dina tells Us he's a very well-rounded young man, with varied interests and many talents.
"He is as good as a pro in surfing," she brags, noting that he's also an "excellent golfer and all-around athlete." He's a music fanatic, too, she says, and can play "a little piano and saxophone."
Moreover, "he cherishes family and friends and is always the first one to keep us all in touch," she tells Us. (Dina is "very close" not just with Scott but also with his sister, Katie, and their mom, Jaclyn Reeves.) "Can you tell I worship this kid?" she quips.

Android isn't creating as many quality applications for tablets as Apple is, according to a recent study.
Canalys created a study that said that many of iPad's most popular iOS apps are not available on Android or not optimized for Android tablets, according to AllThingsD. In a look at the top 100 apps for iPad, 30 aren't available on the Android platform.
U.S. & World
AllThingsD is quick to point out that 11 of the apps are Apple's own, such as GarageBand and iPhoto, but 19 others could easily be offered on both platforms but aren't. Those that are available on Android also aren't "optimized for tablet use."
Canalys analyst Tim Shepherd said, "Building high-quality app experiences for Android tablets has not been among many developers' top priorities to date."
Recent reports show that Android handhelds and tablets are gaining in market share so this could change in the near future, but it still means apps are lacking in the present.
One such example is PopCap Games' Plants Vs. Zombies 2, the follow-up to the popular zombie-killing game, that is now only available on iOS. So far there's no word if PopCap Games will release an Android version.
Is this because developers make more money on iOS apps? Some say it's because Apple has also spent much more time and money attracting and keeping developers, while Google Play has not.

Jeff Takes a Bath
One of the things I've always appreciated about my buddy Jeff is his ability to admit when he's wrong. And despite what he may say at the end of every post, there have been plenty of times that he has had to admit to errant predictions or inappropriate accusations.
That doesn't make it any less refreshing when it happens, though. For instance, his recent mea culpa for getting the AL Central race so wrong came as a breath of fresh air. And if anyone should know about never counting a team out you would think that it would be the guy who supports the Cardinals, a teams whose 2006 season was the ultimate story of lucking into the playoffs and then getting hot at the right time.
Now, I'm a much more cautious person than Jeff. I'm not going to make any wild predictions about the Tigers winning the pennant, much less the World Series. However, the 2006 Cardinals (and the 2011 Cardinals, for that matter) proved that anything is possible and the Tigers definitely have a team that, if everything clicks, could do some damage.
Hey, what could be better than Jeff taking a bath? Or a shower, as it were.

Gratuitous Self Promotion Week
Well, not really, but I'm going to engage in a wee bit of self-promotion this week anyway. Before you turn the page or click your mouse, there's stuff in it for you, so, stay with me.
About a year ago a friend and author, Spike Gillespie, contacted me about a new book she was writing. Spike is a well-known local author and had written several books including one about quilting. She was now working on a second quilt-oriented book focused on art quilts and their makers. I mentioned in my last post that I used to make art quilts and that I'd had some success exhibiting them. Spike wanted to interview me and shoot pictures of some of those quilts for her book.
Her book, Quilting Art, was recently released and it is definitely worth a look. It's packed with wonderful quilted art from 20 contemporary quilters as well as studio scenes and interviews. Spike even included a sidebar with each interview featuring some bit of advice from the artist. The book is well laid out and and organized. There's even a photo of each of the artists.
I have 3 of my quilts included in my section, all of which hang in my house. Remember what I said about running out of wall space in the previous post?
Actually that last quilt was made as a bed quilt from my middle daughter, but it now hangs in our stairwell. I got tired of picking it up off the floor.
I hope you're inspired to take a look at the book through the link. It really is quite lovely. And, if you'd like to try to at win a copy, feel free to leave a comment and I'll award one to a randomly chosen person. Thankfully, I have two, one to keep and one to share.
Good luck!

Morning Five: 09.23.11 EditionPosted by jstevrtc on September 23rd, 2011
- As we've said before, one of the few positives that's come out of the conference congealment/realignment mess is that some writers have simply had enough and are pulling out all the stops in their critiques, and the readers are benefitting from it. The latest example of this came yesterday from Yahoo!'s Dan Wetzel, who explains why the current system blows, the new superconference system will be even worse, and that it's not too late to save these conference and school administrators from themselves and try to save college athletics, certainly (our favorite section coming here), "…for the average fan, who just appreciated things like the Big East basketball tournament or Backyard Brawl or the myriad other traditions that seem a lot cooler than protecting the salary of the guy who runs the Great Idaho Potato Bowl." Enjoy.
- So, in that vein…Dan Beebe is out as commissioner of the Big 12, and it looks like this conference — which looked extremely wobbly at best just a week ago — will now survive. You probably remember that it was Oklahoma that said it would only stay on board if Beebe was removed AND if Texas' brand new Longhorn Network would be restricted in what it could show, especially regarding high school games/athletes. As for the "victory" yesterday and the discussion among the member schools that lasted for just over an hour, OU president David Boren said, "We achieved substantial reforms. We feel extremely good." We assume now that it's only a matter of time until the remaining schools gang up on Texas and that TV network to try and hammer out a few more substantial reforms.
- It's been just over 18 months since March 3, 2010, a night on which Maryland defeated Duke in a basketball game. It's also the night that Maryland student John McKenna was beaten with riot batons by a couple of police officers during the celebratory mayhem that followed the game. McKenna and his family hired a private investigator who found a tape of the incident, showing that McKenna was not provoking the officers and was unarmed. The tape didn't support the officers' story that McKenna was belligerent to the policemen's horses and it was the horses that caused McKenna's injuries. A Prince George's County, MD grand jury saw that tape recently. The officers are still innocent until proven guilty, but the grand jury indicted them earlier this week, charging them with first- and second-degree assault.
- On May 13, UNLV senior Chace Stanback was pulled over for suspicion of DUI and ended up testing positive for marijuana. The summary of his punishment is as follows: $585 in fines, 40 hours of community service, attendance at DUI school, and participation in a victim impact panel. Yesterday, the school also suspended Stanback for the Rebels' season opener on November 11 against Grand Canyon as well as an exhibition ten days earlier. The 6'8" swingman will be UNLV's leading returning scorer, averaging 13.0 PPG last season (2nd on team), and led the Rebs last year in rebounding (5.9 RPG) as well as efficiency rating (13.5).
- Speaking of November 11, that's Veterans' Day, and the night that Michigan State and North Carolina will face off in the first-ever NCAA game on an aircraft carrier, lovingly called the "Carrier Classic," specifically aboard the USS Carl Vinson docked in San Diego. The combatants for the 2012 edition now look to be Arizona from the Pac-12 and Connecticut from the
Big East ACC…well, whatever. We understand the reasons they're doing this on the Vinson and why the ship has to be docked, but as we wrote in our original article on the carrier game, at some point in the future this has to be played on an active ship in the middle of missile drills. Talk about preparing a team to play on the road, man. The sight of a bird being launched in the middle of an 18-year old's one-and-bonus will make a couple of snarky signs or synchronized cheers from some day-drinking poli-sci majors look pretty tame.

Ever since delivering the out-of-nowhere comedic gem "Super Troopers," the guys from the Broken Lizard comedy troupe have been trying in vain to recapture the magic. Here comes their next attempt.
Geek goddess Olivia Munn, she of "Attack of the Show" and "Daily Show" fame, has landed the female lead opposite Paul Schneider (formerly of "Parks & Recreation") in "Baby Maker," reported Variety.
Broken Lizard's's Jay Chandrasekhar will direct a script from Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow ("Ice Age: The Meltdown"), while BL's Kevin Heffernan will co-star
U.S. & World
Schneider plays a guy desperate to have a kid, who decides to break into a sperm bank in hopes of stealing back a specimen he sold in his youth, Munn presumably is his spouse. One shudders to think why it is that Schenieder's character was once able to make a viable deposit, but no longer can.
Munn can next be seen Sept. 16 in Sarah Jessica Parker's "I Don't Know How She Does It," and was recently cast in Aaron Sorkin's new HBO pilot "More as the Story Develops."

Yesterday I went for a run simply to be in the sun. I started out aggitated and ended calm. That's why I run.
I took a hot shower, put on my sweatpants, made a half a pot of coffee, opened every blind in the house, and lit some incense. Music seemed to be the next step. I fiddled and faddles with the DVD player but Jason Upton would not sing. Five minutes later I looked at the window of light illuminating the couch and decided maybe this was exactly what I needed, exactly what I'd been avoiding for months- a completely quiet house with nothing to distract me from my self. I crawled onto the couch and sat in that section of sun. It warmed me completely and instantly. I sat there for almost two hours, drinking coffee, writing notes, thinking.
coffee brewing, incense burning, books and notebooks laying open around me..
THAT'S what I've been missing in my life. That's what I crave.
Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Truman Capote:
I've read that past and future are a spiral, one coil containing the next and predicting its theme. Perhaps this is so; but my own life has seemed to me more a series of closed circles, rings that do not evolve with the freedom of a spiral: for me to get from one to the other has meant a leap, not a glide. What weakens me is the lull between, the wait before I know where to jump.
And then there's the sustenance:
Blessed is the man who listens to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
For whoever finds me, finds life
and receives favor from the LORD.
-Proverbs 8

Leprechaun And Pot Of Gold - Legend
April 20, 2015
Legend tells us the wee Irish folk called leprechauns make fairy shoes for a living. They are said to stash their gold in a pot at the end of the rainbow. The best way to find a leprechaun is to follow the tap of a shoemaker's hammer. If you catch him and can keep him in sight, he must take you to his treasure. If the leprechaun can trick you into looking away, he will vanish along with your hopes for finding his treasure.

In Honor of Mother's Day
>> Wednesday, May 05, 2010
So Mother's Day is coming and I wanted to write something in honor of this special day. I was "surfing the blog scene" and saw someone who wrote about 10 of her favorite things. It was really funny. I started thinking, maybe I could write 10 of my favorite things about my mother for Mother's Day. Please feel free to take my idea and run with it as we all inspire each other. And to you, thanks for all you do. Have a Happy and Wonderful Mother's Day!
O.k., this is what I came up with:
1. I love her laugh especially when telling a good story.
2. I love that she's grown to be more affectionate. As a teenager she did not give hugs and kisses very easily. Now she can be too affectionate, but who am I kidding, I love it.
3. She literally pushed me through school and set an example for me by getting her Masters.
4. She was super supportive and said, "I know you can do it" when I failed my road test, not once but three times before I finally got my driver's license.
5 .The way she is supportive of my siblings and her two son in laws.
6. The way she was there for the birth and care of my two children.
7. She raised me and my brother alone having come from overseas; she got an apartment, a job, started school and studied for her citizenship. Today there are four of us and we reap the harvest of her sacrifices.
8. She rarely says no.
9. She uses her resourcefulness to help others, sometimes through their extreme hardships and without complaining.
10. Some people say they do not want to grow up and be like their parent. I am grown up and continue to strive to be like her as she is a beautiful woman.

As I mentioned, I have convinced my partner to have one fully vegetarian dinner a week (hey, it's a start!) I realised I have to come up with some pretty awesome vegetarian meals to convince him further, and THIS is definitely one of those meals. I reckon this vegetarian lasagne could turn the most wholehearted carnivore into a vegetarian!
Lately, I have been truly inspired and touched by a blog called Green Kitchen Stories, which is written by a lovely Swedish-Danish couple David and Luis. As much as their lifestyle is enviable, I think it is also achievable. I believe we can all make better choices in what we eat and how we live our lives, and if only there were more couples like David and Luise, I think this planet would be a much better place!
This recipe is adapted from one of their recipes which they called "World's Greatest Vegetable Lasagna". I am not to argue with that statement as I am convinced it truly was the greatest in the world, but as my recipe is an adapted version of theirs, maybe it is fair to call this "World's Second Greatest Vegetable Lasagna" ;-)
Vegetable Lasagna
(Adapted from the Green Kitchen Stories)
For the Tomato Sauce
2 tbs olive oil
1 medium sized onion, finely chopped
1 big clove garlic, finely chopped
6 medium sized tomatoes, blanched, peeled and cut into chunks
400g canned cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp French capers, chopped
3 tbs Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
pinch of dried sweet basil
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 small butternut pumpkin, peeled and cut into thin slices
10 big leaves of English spinach, washed
200g Gluten-free lasagna sheets
300g ricotta (7% fat)
zest of 1 organic lemon
juice of 1/2 organic lemon
100g mozzarella, grated
Combine the ricotta and the lemon juice and zest in a bowl.
To assemble, lightly oil an oven dish (I used a round deep oven dish but you could use a rectangular lasanga dish), and place the first layer of lasagna sheets on the bottom. Top with some tomato sauce, 1/2 the pumpkin slices and 1/2 the spinach leaves. Place another layer of lasagne sheets on top, spoon over some tomato sauce, then top with some of the ricotta mixture. Alternate layers of lasagna sheets, tomato sauce, ricotta, pumpkin and spinach so that the last layer will be just lasagna sheets, tomato sauce and ricotta (in other words, place the pumpkin slices and the spinach leaves somewhere in the middle). Top with grated mozzarella and place in a preheated 180C oven for 1 hour. Once done, leave to cool slightly before cutting.

Let Elmo tickle your children, not so much
The puppeteer who gave Sesame Street's Elmo his voice allegedly threw a crystal meth sex party for a teenage boy in 2004, according to a federal lawsuit filed this week.
Sheldon Stephens, now 24, is the fourth man to sue Kevin Clash, but he was the first one to publicly claim he had a sexual relationship with him as a teen.
Stephens' lawsuit is "meritless and barred by the statute of limitations," Clash lawyer Michael Berger told CNN Tuesday. "Mr. Clash continues to deny any wrongdoing, and we intend to defend this case forcefully."
Although Stephens called it an "an adult consensual relationship" last November, the revelation triggered Clash's suspension from Sesame Street and eventually his resignation.
Clash, who provided the high-pitched voice of the iconic furry red Elmo since 1984, acknowledged a relationship between "two consenting adults" when Stephens' story first emerged, but he said it otherwise was a "false and defamatory allegation."
"I am a gay man," Clash, 52, said in a statement in November. "I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter."
Three other men soon emerged with federal lawsuits, filed last November and December, accusing Clash of befriending them as teenager then engaging in sex with them. They are all represented by Florida lawyer Jeff Herman, who also filed Stephens' lawsuit Monday.
Clash's lawyer has asked a judge to dismiss the three other suits based on his argument that the men waited too long to sue. The federal statute of limitations on such civil cases is six years, while their allegations involve relationships that ended more than 10 years ago, Berger said in a court filing this month.
Each lawsuit contends that the men only realized in the last year or so that they suffered psychological and emotional damage from their encounters with Clash.
"Clash was an adult male living a prominent public life centered around the entertainment of toddlers, while at the same time he was, in secret, preying on teenage boys to satisfy his depraved sexual interests," the Stephens suit alleged.
While the allegations in the newest suit mirror what the other men contend, Stephens' complaint is the only one to allege drug use by Clash.
"Clash smoked crystal meth while engaging in sexual activity with Sheldon," the lawsuit said. "Clash also gave Sheldon 'poppers' as a sexual aide. While Clash had sexual contact with Sheldon, the chauffeur watched and masturbated." "Poppers" generally refers to alkyl nitrites in capsule form that produce a physical rush when broken and inhaled: crystal meth refers to crystal methamphetamine.
Stephens was 16 when he met Clash in New York "at a social networking event for models and actors," the suit said.
"Clash told Sheldon he would help Sheldon with his acting career," it said.
Clash resigned from his job on "Sesame Street" after the first lawsuit was filed in November.
"I am resigning from Sesame Workshop with a very heavy heart," Clash said in a written statement at the time. "I have loved every day of my 28 years working for this exceptional organization. Personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work Sesame Street is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer. I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately."
Despite his stepping down, Clash's voice will be used for Elmo through 2014, as the next season of "Sesame Street" has already been filmed.

Postpartum depression
The changes you go through after having a baby can leave you sad, anxious, afraid, or confused. These feelings are sometimes called the "baby blues," and they're very common. In fact, about 8 in 10 new mothers experience some form of baby blues — usually during the first 2 weeks after delivery.*
Postpartum depression is more serious, and can last a year or more if untreated. There's no single cause for it, but the physical, hormonal, and emotional changes that go along with childbirth all play a role. Just like we did during your pregnancy, we'll check in with you often to see how you're feeling. If you're struggling with depression, we'll connect you with the care you need.
Postpartum depression and baby blues
Signs and symptoms
Some common symptoms of postpartum depression include:
- Restlessness, irritability, or sadness
- Difficulty sleeping, extreme exhaustion, or both
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
- Feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, guilty, or worthless
- Excessive anxiety or worry
- Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy
If this sounds like what you're going through, please call us right away. You're not alone — many moms struggle with postpartum depression, and there are treatment options that have been shown to help. Hearing from other new moms going through the same thing can be incredibly helpful — your care team might be able to connect you with a postpartum depression support group in your area.
Who gets postpartum depression?
About 1 in 7 new moms will experience postpartum depression after having a child.* Symptoms typically begin 2 or 3 weeks after giving birth, but can begin anytime — including after a miscarriage, or even when you stop breastfeeding. Just like other forms of perinatal depression, postpartum depression can affect anyone, regardless of age, number of children, or education level.
Postpartum depression is more likely if you've had:
- A history of depression yourself, or a family history of depression
- Troubled relationships with your partner, family, or friends
- A recent stressful event, such as a divorce or separation, job change, or financial trouble
- A difficult or traumatic delivery experience
- Struggles with breastfeeding
Postpartum depression is treated much like other types of depression. Each case is unique, but the most common treatment options are:
- Therapy or counseling
- Medication
- Self-care (plenty of rest, support from others, healthy eating, and exercise)
- A combination of these treatments

Friends Want Amanda Bynes Committed, Kim Kardashian's Baby Is Ruining Everything + More in This Week's Tabloids
We read In Touch, Star, Us Weekly, National Enquirer and Life & Style this week, and now you don't have to. That should open up some time for you.
A famous pal says Amanda Bynes should be committed, Jennifer Aniston has been hiding her baby bump, Miranda Lambert will stand by her man, Lindsey Vonn can't figure out how to break up with Tiger Woods, Kimye's babye is ruining everything, and all kinds of other really real stuff you'd have to read to believe.
In Touch
This week, In Touch provided us with the truth at last in the Khloe Kardashian-Odom paternity showdown. You'd think that the truth is that nobody actually cares, but in reality Khloe, terrified but desperate for an answer, confronts mama Kris about her real father. Seriously, it could topple the Kardashian empire. Finally. (As if.)
It's a tabloid cover, so there has to be some kind of baby news. Get your happy pants ready because, it's time for baby number two for Giuliana Rancic. Hooray.
We just can't muster the exclamation. Mostly because it's hard to get excited when, whoa, Kate Middleton won't even show her baby bump.
Meanwhile, a famous pal is pleading with anyone who listens to famous pals and saying that Amanda Bynes should be "committed." Committed to maybe getting those cheek piercings out, we hope.
Of course, if she did that, every time she had a shot of tequila, it would just dribble out of the sides of her face. There's something we'd like to see her post on Twitter.
Oh, and congratulations are in order for Matt Damon. He waited the proper amount of time for his Hollywood stock to reach its pinnacle and then renewed his vows with his wife so they could have some A-list "I dos." (He might also just be incredibly committed to his marriage, but how many tabloids would that sell?)
Baby bump watchers, get out your surveillance equipment. Star magazine figured out that Jennifer Aniston has been hiding her bump. Finally, at the age of 44, Jen is going to be a pregnant bride.
Yes, with two years of fertility treatments, you can end up with a miracle baby. Miraculous in the number of times the rumor mill has conjured said baby out of thin couture, of course.
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have experienced a shocking split. In a revolt against her strict adherence to the Adkins diet, and to get Ozzy to stop drinking and taking drugs, Sharon insisted they visit the Ben & Jerry's factory in Vermont where they dined on a ridiculously large – and rather shocking – banana split, described by the company as "a boatload."
When you have the munchies … you have the munchies, yo.
Seems Leonardo DiCaprio and Julianne Hough have begun a match of some kind. This is made clear through Star's declaration of "It's on!" And because hot-but-useless celebrity love matches are boring, we're hoping they've engaged in a land battle of some sort.
Perhaps both want to call the same Dean & Deluca their turf or maybe they've both claimed the drive-thru at In-n-Out as their own. Anything that will keep us from having to hear about Julianne's baby bump six months from now.
Lisa Vanderpump is involved in some kind of nude movie scandal. For a minute we thought nothing on video could be more tragic than her stint on 'Dancing With the Stars,' but now we see how wrong we were. We can only hope that the nudity here means she finally stopped dressing that poor dog.
Us Weekly
The sleuths at Us Weekly found out what we figured out last week: Miranda Lambert says about her marriage crisis, "I'll stand by my man." She also said that divorce is not an option. According to the tabs, that's despite Blake's flirting and stories of his cheating. According to her it's because all of it is made up.
If she's monitoring his phone and email, we can't blame her. He's pretty amusing on Twitter, so maybe his messages are good entertainment while he's away.
Tori Spelling has a bikini body after four kids. It's funny that Us Weekly felt like we needed another reason not to like her. It's also funny that after that botched boob job, we're supposed to believe her bikini body wasn't sculpted by some coastal plastic surgeon.
One of MTV's Teen Moms, some chick named Farrah – we stopped caring about what their names are – has a sad story. She has turned into a porn star. Hey, she got knocked up in high school. We know she's easy. She might as well get paid for it. She's got breasts - errrr - mouths to feed. If mommies can be bloggers, we feel like they can also be porn stars.
Wow, Lauren Graham has been on a diet for 35 years. We'll have whatever she's having. And then, someone please tell her it worked. She can stop now. She's gorge and it would be nice to see her on the cover instead of one of Tori Spelling's kids or those weird fake ta-tas on the Teen Mom trollop.
National Enquirer
John Travolta and Kelly Preston have dirty divorce secrets. These must be new secrets since the National Enquirer aired most of their dirty laundry a few weeks ago.
Anyway, Travolta has a male friend whose dark past has been exposed. Also, something surprising really happened on the day his son died.
John and Kelly are still attractive. They need to make this into a movie and let us watch it. They're going to need the money after all this divorcing hullabaloo.
After last week's icky Michael Jackson death cover, we aren't at all shocked that the National Enquirer was happy to put bloody pics from the Boston Marathon bombings on the cover. The graphic says they talk about the heroes of the horror, but the photos say they really want you to take a look at the unthinkable because you just can't help it.
Stay classy, Enquirer.
There's good news too: Lisa Marie Presley dropped 50 pounds. We don't have to wonder how she did it. Have you ever tried to carry 50 pounds? It's heavy. Unless you're really strong, of course you're gonna drop that stuff. And probably hurt your back in the process. Unless you lift with your legs.
Unsurprisingly, Lindsey Vonn is hiding something -- Tiger Woods' new love is involved in a suicide attempt drama. Look, we saw his last round at Augusta National a couple of weeks ago. If that wasn't golf suicide, we don't know what is.
Life & Style
Pregnant Kim – one of the alternate forms of Kim Kardashian – is whining that "this baby is ruining my life." We totally know what she means. We feel like it's ruining our lives too.
Kim can't stop eating and the tabs can't stop talking about the babye. She's blaming her pregnancy for everything in her life going wrong. We're blaming it for giving us yet another reason we have to talk about her.
Ever the humanitarian, Life & Style also poses the perpetual question of the universe: Can anyone save the tragic Amanda Bynes?

A Glebe duplex, shown here in a rendering, is believed to be just the second residential building in Ottawa to be built to commercial earthquake standards. - Handout photo
Not that he'd wish it on them, says Rolf Baumann, but "if there's an earthquake, you could be sitting here with a cup of tea and not spill a drop while all your neighbours' houses are shaking like crazy."
Baumann, the ebullient chief executive officer of Ottawa's The RGB Group, is standing on the top floor of a 4,000-square-foot stacked duplex he's building on an infill lot on Third Avenue in Ottawa's Glebe neighbourhood.
Thanks to a steel structure, that duplex will withstand an earthquake about five times as powerful as the 5.0 magnitude doozy that rumbled through Ottawa in 2010 — which, if you remember the chimneys that cracked and the books that tumbled from shelves, is a good thing.
The nation's capital sits in an active seismic zone, putting us at risk of a moderate earthquake. In fact, according to The Geo logical Survey of Canada, Ottawa-Gatineau ranks third among Canadian urban centres for earthquake risk, exceeded only by Vancouver and Montreal. We get dozens of quakes every year, but most are so mild we don't feel them.
The four-level duplex, built to commercial earthquake-resistant standards and therefore a rarity among Ottawa residences, should withstand not only a big earthquake, but also the tremors of rising energy costs: It's being built to meet stringent LEED Platinum standards, one of the highest ratings possible among green homes.
"This house will still be here in 1,000 years," says Baumann, a veteran builder, whose previous green projects include an executive town-home project near Carleton University that was Ontario's first certified LEED Platinum multi-unit residential development. He's also building the 94-unit Upper Canada Condos in Brockville, Ont., another LEED Platinum project.
It's interesting that Baumann didn't set out to construct an earthquake-resistant structure. However, the building, which replaces an old wood-frame home on a 25-foot lot, is so close to the property line that a structure other than wood was needed to meet the fire code.
Enter steel, specifically a frame of light-gauge metal fastened to massive steel posts and beams. Call it damage prevention by default.
That's especially important in a building like this one, says Gerry Morin of Ottawa-based Morin Bros. Building Supplies, which supplied the structural steel.
The building is narrow, long and tall, its walls shooting up 35 feet or more and its interior an open-concept one without the many walls that can help provide lateral stability when the ground starts shaking.
"Think of a box shaped like that," says Morin. "If you push on one of the walls near the top, the whole structure moves and twists. An earthquake moves sideways, so the beams prevent movement in the house."
That's doubly important when a home, like this one, has a lot of end-wall glazing that could be distorted by movement, cracking or shattering the glass.
Platform-frame wood construction, which makes up the bulk of Canadian housing, fares pretty well in earthquakes, according to a study in 2000 by the Nation-al Research Council.
"Canada has a very good seismic code and most buildings built to that code are in good shape for earthquakes," says Hossein Mostafaei, a research officer with NRC's Institute for Research in Construction. However, he says buildings constructed before the introduction of seismic-based codes in the 1970s could be at risk, as could those that have been altered but not according to code.
If you are concerned about your home, the NRC publishes earthquake evaluation guides that need to be completed by a profession-al engineer, as well as upgrading guides (www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca and search earthquakes).
The new Ontario Building Code due to come into force Jan. 1 will apparently include explicit design standards for buildings in areas at moderate to high risk of earthquakes. That should bring provincial standards into line with existing national ones.
But back to the duplex in the Glebe, marrying the earthquake-resistant frame of RGB's duplex to a residential design was more difficult in the execution than the planning, says architect Malcolm Wildeboer, principal at Ottawa's Vandenberg & Wildeboer Architects.
The tradespeople were used to working on large commercial structures, and it took time to adapt to such procedures as installing smaller residential windows and doors.
When it came to integrating the new building into the existing neighbourhood of mostly older homes, Wildeboer says he "used lots of brick and a peaked roofline that's consistent with the interesting rooflines you find in the Glebe."
Baumann, who is determined to fit in with his neighbours, says he went to considerable trouble to save the large maple tree out front that will also reduce solar gain by the south-facing elevation in the summer and allow the sun's warmth into the duplex during the winter.
It's part of the duplex's claim to green fame, which includes the use of steel with 80 per cent recycled content, an exterior insulation/firewall coating that contains waste rock from mining projects, and features such as LED lighting, Energy Star appliances, and a high-efficiency heating/cooling system. The top floor includes a skylight that opens to allow heat to escape but, thanks to a sensor, closes automatically if it starts to rain.
Developing a green structure like this one, which Baumann plans to rent rather than sell, adds 20 to 30 per cent to building costs. However, he says that such factors as lower energy and maintenance costs and a longer lifespan make it a good business decision. Come quakes or soaring energy costs, he figures his stylish duplex will survive.
"This is the Glebe Diefenbunker."

DOVER — Economist Scott Moody believes the devaluation of marriage through same-sex marriage will eventually ensure a population in New Hampshire where the shrinking, younger generation will no longer be able to support the state's economy.
"At this point, marriage no longer has any meaning," said Moody.
During a Foster's Daily Democrat editorial board meeting on Tuesday, Moody, a member of the leadership and staff team with Cornerstone Policy Research, explained this concern, among other underlying concerns, that may be solved with the passage of HB 437.
The bill currently before the New Hampshire Legislature would repeal the state's same-sex marriage law.
According to Moody, several concerns relating to children's rights and demographics have risen in the last several years. These concerns could be alleviated if the proposed bill to be discussed in February is passed.
The first concern revolves around the devaluation of marriage in general and how this growing trend is affecting the economy and children.
According to data provided by Moody from the Internal Revenue Service, the number of marriage tax returns as a percent of all tax returns filed in the country in 2009 fell 2.2 percent compared with those from 1997.
In New Hampshire, the number of marriage tax returns fell by 1.5 percent. Moody correlated this drop in marriage in both the state and nation to what he called the general devaluation of marriage within our culture.
According to Moody, New Hampshire is the easiest state in which to finalize a divorce, which he said possibly stems from the population's lack of value and faith in the institution of marriage.
Combined with what he said was with the general movement of younger people focusing more on the individual rather than the family, the central cultural tenet of marrying and raising a family has become, for many, a way of the past, he claims.
Allowing same-sex marriage in the state further devalues marriage, taking that traditional image of a man and a wife in a marriage to procreate and sustain their community and making it more of a shell of a tradition, according to Moody. This chipping away of the traditional image of marriage is having an effect on the state and the nation's younger generation. According to Moody, one of the main reasons for marriage is for a man and a woman to bear children. With fewer traditional marriages, the number of children born declines as a result, Moody claims. According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau, provided by Moody, the number of births in New Hampshire declined by around 4,000 between the years 1991 and July 1, 2011. He asserts same-sex couples are physically unable to produce children and must therefore adopt. According to Moody, every same-sex marriage has a net child capacity of zero, meaning each same-sex married couple does not contribute to their community's population as would a heterosexual couple. They may adopt, but this does not equate to producing their own children, according to Moody. This documented decline in births, according to Moody, will have a large impact on the state's economy. According to data provided by Moody from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau, since 2004 New Hampshire has seen a noticeable decline — approximately 8 percent — in children younger than the age of 18 living in the Granite State. The younger generation spurs the economy, according to Moody: they spend money and money is spent on them. Not only this, but those children younger than 18 years old will eventually take the reins of the economy from their parents However, with fewer individuals to take the reins, the state runs the risk of not having the necessary younger generational support for the rest of the aging population. Moody categorized this general occurrence in population as a demographic winter. Along with the possibility of preventing a demographic winter in the state, the repeal of same-sex marriage in the state would also helping prevent some fundamental changes to the country's legal system. Moody said that by allowing same-sex marriage in the state, the methods for handling court cases involving biological parents and their children is now thrown out the window because with same-sex couples, one or both of the individuals may not be the child's biological parents and could be linked by nothing but an adoption certificate. Also, according to Moody, when same-sex couples adopt, they place the child in a situation where one or both of their parents isn't their biological parent. However, according to Moody, statistics have shown that a relationship with a stepparent is not the same as a relationship with a biological parent and stepparents tend to not have the same bond or pay the same attention as the biological parent. Moody did not provide charts or actual sources for this claim. Moody described the above situation by comparing two different family situations. The first family is between a married man and a woman with children. The family shares one budget and combines their earnings. They raise their children in a traditional way. The second family is a combination of two divorced individuals who each bring a child into the marriage. Although they, too, share one budget and combine their earnings, each individual is raising one biological child and another child connected through nothing else but circumstance. They love this child of circumstance but the connection and attention given to that child is different from attention given to a biological child, Moody asserts. The second family is similar to how a same-sex couple raises an adoptive child whose only connection to the couple is through a piece of paper. Moody's argument in favor of repealing same-sex marriage in the state remained relatively free of faith and morality based assertions, though he did admit those beliefs were still very much rooted within the foundation of the repealment of the same sex-marriage law in New Hampshire and across the nation. According to Moody, there all of a sudden seems to be a cultural movement toward same-sex marriage. However, many states, some considered even more liberal than New Hampshire, have repealed the law when given the chance, most notably, he said, Maine. Moody said even in New Hampshire, the same-sex marriage law passed by one vote and was signed into law by a governor he claimed never failed to flip-flop on the issue when discussed. Moody said the current repeal legislation, if passed, would keep all current same-sex marriages intact, but would prevent any more from being legalized. Same-sex couples could be joined together by a civil union. Moody said there were distinct legal differences between a marriage and a civil union, but didn't explain those differences. He did say couples joined together by a civil union, by default, had a more difficult time adopting children than married couples, since, he claims, marriage is generally considered a more stable environment for raising a child.

Clairmont Krimmer Mennonite Brethren Church (Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada)
In 1917, Mennonites from Zoar Krimmer Mennonite Brethren Church in Inman, Kansas, began to settle in the Peace River area of Alberta in order to avoid the possibility that they or their children would be conscripted to fight for the United States in World War I. The first to settle in the area were the D. Z. Wiebe, Peter Schroeder, Jacob Peters, and K. D. Willems families. Others followed in 1918. The small group of Mennonite settlers began to gather for worship in 1918 in a blacksmith shop purchased by Jacob Peters and relocated by him to his property two miles weste and one half mile south of the hamlet of Clairmont, located approximately 10 km. (6.2 miles) north of Grande Prairie. The building was expanded by the congregation.
The first leader was K. D. Willems. His burden for neighboring Ukrainian settlers in the area led to the baptism of several of them. The congregation also grew through the immigration of Mennonites from Russia in the 1920s and the settlement of Mennonites from Saskatchewan. These included the families of Alexander Voth, John Nickel, Peter Epp, Cornelius Friesen, Nick Siebert, Henry Voth, and Jacob Hubner. Short-term Bible schools were conducted by the congregation for youth from the congregation.
By 1928, Mennonite Brethren families in La Glace chose to establish their own church. Many who were originally from the United States chose to return to their native country, and other families moved to Debolt, Alberta. By the early 1930s, many families had left. At this time, ministers from the La Glace Mennonite Brethren Church provided leadership on Sunday mornings until the church closed.
Leaders in the church included K. D. Willems, B. Z. Wiebe, P. C. Schroeder, Conrad Lehman, and Reinold Eckstein.

Basis of Influence 2: Passion, Reciprocation and Getting What You Want
Jun 18, 2020
12:00 pm - 2:00 pm Central Time Zone
Use calculator to show CLE credit for your state.
As lawyers we try to influence people in every aspect of our professional life, whether we are negotiating a case, developing clients, or just trying to get a staff member to improve work performance. This five-part series investigates the foundations of influence and the factors that result in increased success and cooperation .
These short courses build on sections from our highly regarded courses "The Trusted Lawyer" and "The Persuasive Lawyer." (The Basis of Influence Series covers additional new material, but there is some overlap and review.) Each short course stands alone, so you can can one or take them all!Part 1: Leadership, Trust, and The 9 Techniques of Automatic Influence
(120 minutes)
Techniques of "automatic influence" are built into the fabric of what makes us human, and give the ability to persuade without the appearance of influence. Lawyers use and are influenced by them, sometimes without even realizing it. This course explores the factors that affect every attorney's ability to lead and persuade, including the role of "perceived" trust, and what scholars have identified as the 9 Techniques of Automatic Influence.
(120 minutes)
At the heart of every lawyer's success is the ability to elicit support from others. More than 2,000 years ago Aristotle discussed this as being dependent on the ability to evoke the right attitude or emotion in the other person. This section explores how to inspire others to want to support your objectives.
(90 minutes)
Master the art of listening, and you will encourage clients and other lawyers toward full disclosure of accurate information. This program helps you discover how a learning conversation can reveal important new facts, and increase your successes as a lawyer.
(150 minutes)
If you've ever found yourself on the (losing) end of explaining what you really meant, you know how damaging negative misinterpretations can be. Attorneys will learn simple ways to improve communication, build rapport, and match intentions to delivery.
(120 minutes)
In this program, lawyers look at how breakdowns in communication, effectiveness, and health can be caused by intense work demands and stress. Lawyers learn the neurophysiology of stress, together with simple techniques to reduce anxiety and regain clarity.

Minnesota police arrested a burglary suspect who apparently forgot to log out of Facebook after checking his profile during a break-in at a St. Paul home.
The homeowner came back to his house and found that credit cards, cash and a watch were missing. The thief had also left behind a pair of Nike tennis shoes, jeans and a belt that he apparently discarded because it had been raining outside.
He also left behind his information on James Wood's computer.
"World's dumbest criminal," Wood told CBS Minnesota. "I don't know. I started to panic, but then I noticed he had pulled up his Facebook profile."
Wood began posting on Nicholas Wig's profile and the 26-year-old eventually texted him. After they made a plan to meet up later to exchange items, Wood went for a walk. He then spotted Wig on the street and called police…

Do you remember the research process that lead you to it? How and where did you find it?
Tell us the story(ies) of the document. You may like to consider the nature of the document, the people mentioned, the place and the time. Be as long or short, broad or narrow in your story telling as you like!
For me, this is obvious. The earliest document I've seen about Nicholas Delaney is the transcript of his trial, which took place in 1799. He was accused of double murder by Bridget (Croppy Biddy) Dolan, the most notorious paid informer in south-east Ireland.
And it's a bloody tale. Whether it's true or not is another question…
So thanks, Cassie and Shelley, I'll get to work on writing something for Australia Day.

I love the pink glow on Kelli's and Connor's face in this picture. We had a great time on this trip....it was Connor's first vacation!
I think both sunrises and sunsets are a beautiful reminder of God's creation. You just have to be in the right place at the right time and take time to enjoy the beauty.
