I'll admit it—my workday lunches can get pretty boring. I always think I'm going to finally make use of all those delicious recipes I've been pinning away, but then nighttime rolls around and I'm too busy watching really important things like The Bachelorette and Vampire Diaries. And then morning comes, and I'm running around like a headless chicken and I'm lucky if I remember my keys and bus pass on the way out the door, let alone find time to throw a tasty lunch together.
But with a teensy amount of planning, delicious lunches can be just a few easy steps away. All it takes is a trip to the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon, a couple pantry staples, some mason jars, and an hour of your time.
Why mason jars, you might ask? Despite the obvious cuteness factor, these jars will keep your greens fresher than fresh, they won't stain, they're BPA free, microwave and dishwasher safe, perfectly sized for salads for one, won't leak, travel well, and are reusable. Convinced? Yes, I thought so!
There really are only two rules to the mason jar salad: Start with the dressing or sauce, and end with the lettuce and herbs. However you want to layer the rest of the ingredients—try different meats, beans, lettuces, cheeses, vinaigrettes, or sauces—is up to you (though I usually layer by weight so heavier items, like tomatoes, are on the bottom).
The best part is you can make five salads at a time, and they'll stay fresh for the whole week—just grab and go on your way out the door! When lunchtime rolls around, you'll be sitting pretty with your delicious salad ready to be shaken up.
To get you going, check out three of my favorite recipes, ingredients listed in layering order. Happy lunching!
Caprese Pasta Salad
2 tbsp basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 ½ oz fresh mozzarella, chopped into bite sized pieces
2 oz cooked penne pasta
½ cup fresh spinach leaves
½ cup fresh basil, chopped
Chickpea Salad
2 tbsp easy lemon vinaigrette (see below)
1 cup chickpeas
½ cup sun-dried or oven roasted tomatoes
¼ cup spring onion, chopped
¼ cup red onion, chopped
½ cup olives, chopped
¼ cup piquillo peppers, chopped
½ cup fresh spinach
Greek Pasta Salad
2 tbsp easy lemon vinaigrette (see below)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
¼ cup red onion, chopped
1 cup cucumber, chopped
½ cup feta, crumbled
2 oz rigatoni, cooked
½ cup mixed greens
½ cup fresh mint, chopped
Easy Lemon Vinaigrette
(will make enough for 3-4 mason jars)
Juice from one large lemon
½ cup olive oil
Good pinch of salt
Couple of grinds of black pepper
Shake all ingredients together in a small container.
Speaking of shaking, try to remember to leave room at the top of each jar. Don't worry if you get a little over zealous (I usually am!) with your ingredients though—just shake the jar like crazy when you're ready for lunch, eat a few bites, then shake some more once there's a bit more room!

A special whisky milestone is being marked this week with a new world record attempt for the most people to raise a traditional dram in a toast at the same time!
The feat will take place on Thursday, November 5 at Scotland's oldest working distillery, Glenturret Distillery, Crieff at 5.00 p.m.
The event is being staged to celebrate 240 years of making whisky.
Over 100 people have already signed up to take part and organisers are hopeful the numbers will climb to a magical 240 people by the time it gets to Thursday to set a record and celebrate the distillery's 240 years with a warming measure of The Glenturret Single Malt.
Supporting the attempt is Mhairi Fergusson, the reigning Miss Scotland and Miss World contender.
The 22-year-old visited the distillery recently as part of the filming for her promotional video of Scotland.
The video will be broadcast at the 65th Miss World pageant in Sanya, China later this year.
Mhairi said: "I truly loved visiting Glenturret Distillery and meeting the team behind one of Scotland's finest malt whiskies.
"Whisky is such a big part of Scotland's history and heritage. I think it would be great for Scotland to hold the world record for Raising a Dram and I'm really looking forward to being part of the fun on the evening and help claim that record."
The World Record attempt and toast to The Glenturret's heritage will be followed by a giant selfie to mark the special occasion.
The distillery are asking members of the public to sign up in advance, which will assist them with the official submission of evidence to Guinness World Records, by logging on to www.theglenturret.com and visiting the page dedicated to celebrating 240 Years.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, the distillery will also throw open their doors that evening to the public with complimentary walk-through distillery tours and pop-up catering from the award winning Wilde Thyme at Glenturret.
Stuart Cassells, general manager at The Famous Grouse Experience at Glenturret Distillery, said: "Our 'raise a dram' world record attempt is the perfect way to mark 240 years of Glenturret Distillery, standing alongside members of the public and whisky lovers from the area.
"We've been raising a dram here on this site for 240 years which is incredible.
"So, if you'd like a warm welcome, a delicious dram and to be part of Glenturret Distillery's history then please come along at 5.00p.m. on November 5. It would be fantastic if we could gather 240 people, one person for every year Glenturret Distillery has existed."

Select the search engines you want to register your website with:
Search engine registration is how a webmaster submits a web site directly to a search engine.
There are two basic reasons to submit a web site or web page to a search engine: The first reason would be to add an entirely new web site to the search engine. The second reason is to have a web page or web site updated in the respective search engine.
Most websites want to be listed in popular search engines, because that's how most people start their search for a product or service. A searcher, (or AKA "User"), seeks information on the web, using a search engine. Websites that appear on the first page of a search are, usually, called the "top 10".
Thus, webmasters often highly desire that their sites appear in the top 10 in a search engine search. This is because users are not very likely to look over more than one search engine results page (also known as SERPs). In order to obtain good placement on search results in the various engines, webmasters must optimize their web pages. The process is called search engine optimization. Many variables come into play, such as the placement and density of desirable keywords, the hierarchy structure of web pages employed in a web site (i.e.. How many clicks from the home page are required to access a particular web page?), and the number of web pages that link to a given web page. The Google search engine also uses a concept called page rank.
PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But Google looks at considerably more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives: for example, it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages important. Using these and other factors, Google provides its views on pages' relative importance.

An Empath is
a person who can psychically tune in to the emotional
experience of a person, place or animal. In the paranormal and
in some works of science fiction and fantasy, highly developed
empathy is a psychic ability to sense the emotions of others
and often highly aware of the health and state of mind of their
loved ones, no matter how physically near or far away the
individuals may be. It can be challenging for empaths to
function healthily in society if they are unaware that they
have this sensitivity and often opt to be
Most empaths are often in the dark about their
innate gifts but the more developed ones are sometimes called
in by the police to help track a murderous pedophile or other
heinous criminal because they are able to take on the tortured
emotions of the assailant. Utilizing Clairempathy, a type of
telepathy to sense or feel within one's self, the attitude,
emotion or ailment of another person or entity.
They are sensitive to the visible as well as
the invisible and pick up on body language, tone of voice, body
movements, the words people choose when they speak, the words
they avoid, the logic they use; and the hidden things that only
an empath can sense inside another person. It is not uncommon
for an empath to "freak out" for no apparent reason, only to
discover later that a friend or family member went through some
sort of trauma at that exact moment. So essentially an empath
is someone whose feeling sensory is extraordinarily heightened,
meaning they receive the majority of their psychic input from
what they feel.
Since they're being assaulted constantly by
emotions which do not originate internally, they can't figure
out why they feel the way that they do, and therefore can't
address the core issues. Since empathy isn't something you can
really ditch it's sometimes difficult to sort out what the
Empath truly feels in a given situation or what they are taking
on from someone else. This can prove to be very
Emotions that create powers that have been
known to be God like in nature. Emotions that build on inside
only to be shared with those around you. Emotional empaths are
so sensitive that they can absorb the negative emotions of
others in their body, and actually take it on. So when an
empath is around somebody who is anxious, they can actually
absorb that energy into their body, when it isn't even their
own anxiety.
Empaths are born, and they're born unskilled
and are generally very understanding of others and their
positions, and often times will ask questions rather than make
snap judgments, or intuitively seem to 'know' there is more to
a story than what meets the eye. They are sensitive to TV,
videos, movies, news and broadcasts. Violence or emotional
dramas depicting shocking scenes of physical or emotional pain
inflicted on adults, children or animals can bring an empath
easily to tears.
Empaths are people who don't "read" the future,
or predict it they "read" people, and their energy although
sometimes it depends on the person being read, too. They're
often problem solvers, thinkers, and studier's of many things.
As far as empaths are concerned, where a problem is, so too is
the answer.
They are the psychic sponges of the world,
soaking up all the psychic and emotional static that other
people give off. Being an Empath is one of the most common and
most challenging of all the psychic gifts.
So as you can see being am empath can be both a
blessing...and a curse!

One of the huge disappointments of Pages for iPhone and iPad is there are only two paper sizes available: US Letter and A4. Even worse, is that you can't even create a document with these sizes in landscape! However, if you first create the document in Pages for Mac and open it with Pages on your iPhone or iPad, the document size and orientation will remain unchanged.
This workaround works fine for users with a Mac and iWork, but what about Windows users or even Mac users who want to create a document without planning ahead and creating the appropriately sized document first? That's where we come in!
I've created blank templates of all the popular document sizes and added them to my public Dropbox folder for iMore readers to download directly to their iPhone or iPad. Just simply tap the links with your iPhone or iPad and select Open in "Pages" for each one you want. Yes, it's a bit tedious, but unfortunately, this is the best we can do for you.
After picking up the ones you want, I recommend grouping them up into a folder so they don't clutter up your main document screen.
When using any of these templates, make sure you duplicate it first before making any changes so that you don't lose the original template.
So there you go! Hopefully this makes Pages for iPhone and iPad more useful for you.

They�re hoping to hit all the right notes in honor of their families and their country.
They�re hoping to hit all the right notes in honor of a way to honor their families and their country.
Several local women are among the 35 total that make up the American Military Spouses Choir. The group has been competing on the television show America�s Got Talent and recently was voted through to the semifinals. They will compete next week on live TV.
Laurie Massie never thought she would perform on one of America�s biggest stages when she gave up her music career 12 years ago.
�I gave it all up when my husband got commissioned,� said Massie, 41, of Camp Lejeune. �My driving force is my husband. This is my chance � our chance.�
Members of the Washington D.C.-based group live across the country and practice singing via Skype, as much as possible, each week.
�We�re our toughest critics,� said Massie, the wife of Navy Lt. Cmdr. Marc Massie, a chaplain at New River. �We don�t sound as bad as we might think we do. The responses we�re getting from people � about the performances cancel out any of our own ideas or preconceived notions.
�There are no words to describe the level of support we have or how grateful we are for it.�
The choir came together through the Center for the Advancement of Military Music Opportunities in April 2012. The center wanted 50 military wives to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. for its spring gala. The only criterion for choir membership is to be married to a service member. More than 800 applicants competed for a spot in the choir.
Life in the limelight has not been without challenges, Massie said.
The America�s Got Talent auditions were �unique� with a lot of �hurrying up to wait,� she said. And six of the choir members are pregnant. They did not enjoy standing for hours on end in heels, but in the long run, everyone said it was worth it, Massie said.
�America�s Got Talent has given us an amazing coach,� said Massie, who added that all contestants receive a coach specific to their talents. �It�s so awesome to have an outsider come in and give us pointers. She helps take our skills and expands on them, making us grow in ways we never thought possible.�
As the �sisterhood� enters the semifinals Massie hopes they win but will not be overly disappointed if they don�t, she said.
�Our one thing we have going for us that nobody has going for them is that we have the most incredible support system � the military,� Massie said. �We aren�t broken down by branches. We represent them all. We hope that we inspire military spouses to get involved and find their support network. Don�t wait.�
The TV show�s top prize is $1 million, which would be divided between CAMMO and the group if they win.
Jennie Beverly, 27, remembers the moment the American Military Spouses Choir stepped onto the stage to audition for America�s Got Talent in Chicago.
�As soon as we announced who we were, the people were chanting �USA� and all of this, and it was just a mind-blowing experience to feel all of the joy, the pride, the happiness that people felt,� Beverly said of the crowd who hadn�t even heard the group sing yet.
�It just made us very emotional and we got a standing ovation after the audition and we went straight through,� said Beverly, the wife of Marine Staff Sgt. Byron Beverly, an MV-22 Osprey aviation mechanic at New River.
He was already a fan.
�She sounds pretty good,� Byron Beverly said of his wife, who often sings around the house and in the shower. �The acoustics in our bathroom are awesome.�
Beverly said that when the group finally got the chance to sing at the audition, it was a powerful version of �Ain�t No Mountain High Enough� that brought down the house.
�It was amazing. It was like all of our dreams came true right then and there to be able to lift everyone�s spirits with our voices and to let people know that we had voices too,� said Beverly, a pharmacy technician at Target in New Bern, where she lives. �It was emotional. It�s very hard to keep it together, but it happens so quickly that you really don�t have time to think about that moment. That 90 seconds goes by just like that. One minute we�re starting the song and the next minute, it�s over.�
She said she has not watched the show yet with her family.
�They�ve seen it. My son just thinks it�s amazing. He�s like �Wow, Mom, you�re beautiful and you guys are awesome,�� she said. �I don�t know of any way to explain it. It�s just an incredible experience.�
For the youngest young woman in the choir, it is about more than just singing, she said.
�I�m able to prove to younger spouses that getting involved in the military lifestyle isn�t as scary or intimidating as it seems,� said Ashley Heaton, 21, of Jacksonville. �If I had let the fact that I�m young hinder me from volunteering or joining this choir then I never would have had the chance to help give a voice to those just like me.�
Throughout her journey on America�s Got Talent she has learned that military communities are often forgotten and put on the back burner by those not directly involved in the military. Heaton, who is married to Cpl. Joshua E Heaton with Lejeune�s 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, said she hopes her singing will help shine light on the unnoticed military communities and inspire others to never give up on their dreams.
�I�ve learned that as spouses we truly become each other�s families, especially in hard times, and being on a national TV show, though as amazing a platform for our story it is, won�t ever live up to the first kiss after coming home from a deployment,� Heaton said.
America�s Got Talent airs 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays on NBC.

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring on this issue and offer a high level guide for folks who don't have the time or energy to dig into queuing theory or debate with ivory tower architects about the issue. You'll note that scaleability is not even a factor. This is deliberate as scaleable and performant solutions can be built using either pattern. There is an interesting performance comparison that seems to indicate that the performance characteristics are very similar for both approaches. I WILL point out that simple http-based RPC solutions DO have fewer middleware requirements and are almost universally accessible. Furthermore, I'll point out that it is entirely possible that a real world solution may need both.
In any event, some strong indicators you'll likely need an MQ based solution include:
- I need multiple endpoints to subscribe to my message
- I need durable messages that can be delivered even when the message destination is not running
From my perspective, if any of these are necessary, then some sort of MQ technology is probably appropriate. Certainly, if you try to build a custom solution to either of those problems, you're highly likely to be wasting your time.
On the other hand, some equally strong indicators that an RPC solution is probably your best choice:
- I need clients to get an answer immediately
- I need a very small footprint and performance and simplicity are more important than reliability
The first bullet is most important above, synchronous message queuing patterns (e.g. request/response) typically come with a lot of baggage that may be hurting both your performance AND your scaleability.
I've worked with a variety of solutions using MQ series, JMS providers, and Biztalk, used both appropriately and otherwise. In every case I can remember, if we had used the above guide, we would have had a better chance of picking a the most appropriate solution and also arrived at the conclusion more quickly.

I've always thought it very nice of people to leave dogs with such convenient facilities everywhere they go.
This also bugs me about public bathrooms. This isn't even the first strip I did on the topic. I suppose we all must have our pet peeves, and as they go, this seems pretty kindly.
