On your Mac, Notebooks is the only notebook you ever need. It allows you to create as many books as you need to write, store and structure your details of life, and it will quickly become the one and only repository for all journals, ideas, notes, drafts and diaries but also for your projects, task lists, documents, files and everything else you want to keep close at hand.
Use Notebooks to create carefully formatted documents with styles and embedded photos, or to quickly write plain text notes. Convert between these formats any time, and if you want to use Markdown, Notebooks knows how to handle that as well. It is a perfect, distraction free writing environment.
Notebooks stores and displays almost any type of document: plain text and formatted text, PDF, web pages, MS Office documents, photos, videos, music and much more. Everything you want to keep organized can go directly into Notebooks.
Notebooks also keeps your task lists and allows you to tick off your to-dos as you complete them. Divide your projects into nested sub projects, which makes them easier to handle, and cross-reference into your reference library, which, of course, is in Notebooks, too.
Notebooks for Mac can share its files with the mobile versions of Notebooks on the iPad and iPhone, which allows you to conveniently work on your documents from your desktop, but also on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch when you are on your way. The synchronization between the devices currently supports Dropbox and many WebDAV servers (with Dropbox currently being the most convenient option).
Notebooks stores all your documents as regular files on your computer's hard drive, so you can always access them through Finder to open and edit with other applications, too.
So whether you need to write something down or look something up, you need to have Notebooks on your Mac.
Download Notebooks for Mac
Mac OS X 10.7 – 10.9
Download Free Trial*
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Download Free Trial*
The free trial is fully functional for 30 days, after which you need to register Notebooks (and redeem your coupon code, if you have one) or buy it from the Mac App Store.
Should I buy from the Mac App Store or download directly from this site? – Purchasing from the Mac App Store (MAS) is very convenient; you usually don't need to enter your payment info, and you don't need to care about updates. On the downside, however, Apple imposes restrictions on apps sold through the MAS by forcing them into a sandbox, which has a few negative effects: Notebooks is unable to resolve hard links, and it is unable to use Acrobat Reader as plugin to display PDF documents. So if you rely on hard links or Acrobat Reader, or if you just don't like the idea of an app being restricted by Mac OS, you should download and purchase Notebooks from this site.

Last week when head coach Alvin Gentry was talking about who would take up the final spot on the Suns' roster after sending Courtney Sims back to the D-League, he said, "We need size more than anything, but it has to be someone who can play."
Apparently the Suns think that the 6-foot-10 physical specimen Stromile Swift can play, despite pretty much doing nothing in New Jersey the last two years, because the Suns signed him for the rest of the year. Swift would be playoff eligible because he was waived on Sunday.
Even at 29 years old, Swift's athleticism is tantalizing in a system in which Gentry will tell Swift to rebound, block shots, play defense and then just run down the court and wait for Steve Nash to find him.
"We are very pleased to be able to add a player of Stromile's caliber at this late date," Suns General Manager Steve Kerr said in a press release. "We believe that his athleticism, length and experience will be valuable to us as we head down the stretch run."
There's no question that adding Swift is better than signing another young, borderline NBA player like Dee Brown or Sims, but enough of that Amare Lite talk, OK?
Swift has been in this league for eight years since being drafted second overall in the 2000 Draft. He's averaged as many as 11.8 points and 6.4 boards per game, which are solid numbers for a second-year player, but he never improved on that.
Swift doesn't have an Amare-like jumper and he's clearly nowhere near the scorer that STAT is, but it's certainly possible he can do some things better than Amare does in terms of defense and rebounding, starting tonight when he's expected to be in uniform.
At 29, Swift isn't too old to potentially rejuvenate his career in Phoenix, and as a late signing there really isn't much pressure on him to succeed, just an opportunity on a veteran, potential playoff team that desperately craves his size and athleticism.
This really could be his last chance, so it would not be overly optimistic to expect his very best effort.
The 2005-06 Suns don't make the run they did without Amare if they do not sign a bought out Tim Thomas, and although I doubt this move will have anything close to the same impact. Swift sure will help a ton more than a player like Sims.
There really is no downside to this deal.
The Suns can only hope this roll of the dice provides them with that one extra big body that pushes them into the playoffs.

Orecchiette with Kale, Bacon, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

skspillman Posted: 11/29/10
I followed the recipe exactly, and this dish went over well with my family. I served it as a side with baked chicken.
Karen64 Posted: 12/12/10
This was very good and easy to make. Lots of flavor. I couldn't find black kale and substituted green kale and it was delicious!
ninasommer Posted: 12/01/10
This was terrific. I used my own oven-dried tomatoes, black kale and some really good bacon. Forgot to drizzle with lemon juice. Will try that next time.
Otterstamp Posted: 02/25/11
This recipe is like many others from Cooking Light. It was a quick, decent-tasting pasta dish that was a bit blander than I expected having tasted some of their other similar recipes.
IndigoV Posted: 03/04/11
One of our go-to recipes for an excellent quick supper on those hectic days. We have substituted ham for the bacon and the dish is as well-balanced as the original. We serve it with a romaine lettuce salad with a simple lemon/olive oil dressing and crusty bread. Really good supper!
CherCooks411 Posted: 05/18/11
My nine year old son may well be the world's pickiest eater. But this is a meal he gobbles up, and requests it specifically when I ask for menu suggestions for the week. Getting kids to consume more nutrition-packed leafy greens can be challenging. Vitamin C-rich sundried tomatoes aid in the absorption of the kale's iron, so having him love this meal is a real victory for mom :). It doesn't hurt that I find it delicious - and EASY - as well!
Lori1190 Posted: 08/25/11
Added a can (1.5c.) garbanzo beans and a couple extra cloves of garlic for just a bit more protein. Might not be worthy of a special occasion, but the speed with which it can be prepared and the wonderful taste have earned it a spot as one of our regularly made pasta dishes. (With the beans and adding a big, all veggie side salad made a nice 500 cal dinner for us :o)
Jenbalsa Posted: 01/04/12
Used leftover smoked ham instead of bacon and it worked wonderfully. Love any recipe that makes kale taste good.
Semiresponsive Posted: 05/25/12
I thought this was very tasty. I already had some mini penne in my pantry so I used that, and I didn't have red pepper flakes so I sprinkled in cayenne pepper. Otherwise I followed the recipe as it was. I'm certain I'll be making this again.
carolfitz Posted: 02/08/13
Very good, assertive flavors, nice combo of colors & textures. Made to directions, perhaps using a bit more garlic to suit our taste. Substantial winter meal.
KarenWard Posted: 11/05/12
A great recipe to add kale into your diet. I think I would added extra sun dried tomatoes next time because I really like them. Also, the kale really shrinks so add a ton and I'd chop it up a bit.
KatieY Posted: 03/05/12
It was similar to one I tried off of serious eats. I'd recommend uping the amount of sun dried tomatoes, adding a tsp of lemon rind, and some basil to give it more flavour. I also skipped the step of adding the kale to the boiling pasta and adding some of the pasta water to the dish,
Kelton Posted: 08/11/12
Just fixed this for dinner. Added mushrooms, green onions and tomato-basil goat cheese to it. I really enjoyed it! My kids ate it too! Added a little extra melted butter to give it more of a sauce.
JoAnne8 Posted: 01/12/13
Loved it. Different and interesting.
carolerb Posted: 04/18/13
This was very easy and yummy. I added quite a few more sundried tomatoes. This would also be great with chicken if you did not want vegetarian.
CMMReader Posted: 07/25/12
This was really good! It is sometimes difficult to find a recipe with kale that the family really likes and this one fits the bill! We get a lot of kale with our CSA and this is a recipe I will return to again and again. I did make one change. I used sun-dried tomatoes that were not packed in oil. I used the water that I soaked the tomatoes in to add at the end instead of the pasta water. It just added a little flavor although it seemed to have plenty of flavor without it.
Samsublime Posted: 03/12/12
This was delicious! I added a bit more of almost everything (1/2 c sundried toms, 4 pieces of bacon, 4 cloves garlic, just over 1/2 cup retained pasta water) but otherwise stuck pretty much right to the recipe. Not sure what the people who said it was bland were thinking, I thought it had a ton of flavor. I'll definitely make it again.
GramercyGal Posted: 02/07/13
This is really wonderful and a nice healthy dinner. It's also fast to make and I didn't need to make any adjustments - which is rare. This will be on the regular dinner rotation.
ajvinande Posted: 01/23/13
Amazing!! I make this recipe so often that my once green-fearing family has come to love kale. Also good with beet greens (from the CSA box...mustard greens didn't work but hardly ever do, in my view!). but most definitely the best with kale. Dry sundried tomatoes in a pouch can be used instead of oil-packed. Prosciutto works great instead of bacon, if you like. However you make it, though, do try this recipe. You'll love it!!
KeiraRochelle Posted: 11/16/13
This was very good. I used Cherrywood smoked bacon and used 3 slices since it is a pretty thin cut. I also doubled up the garlic! Never too much garlic for my family!
NormaLang Posted: 01/18/14
I doubled the recipe and the bacon. I would count the red pepper in half personally and add additional kale. The flavor was fantastic and my husband thought this meal was spectacular. Super easy to make.
Cabel0515 Posted: 01/22/14
This was quick and easy and my family loved it! My teenaged son's comment, "so many flavors." I agree. It may have been 4 servings, but they liked it so much that three of us finished off the whole thing. Well worth repeating.
jess3315 Posted: 01/06/14
Awesome dish! When I was cooking it I felt like it was going to be way to light and lacking in flavor... boy was I dead wrong. This pasta packs a decent amount of heat, and I loved it. This is my new favorite quick pasta recipe.

@RuggedCircuits 's post Act on loss of 5vdc partially answers my question. Thanks!
Help for my remaining questions is still very welcome and appeciated!
Answered so far:
3a) A "super" capacitor can hold the power. Ratio in example circuit: Needs 4 minutes to fully charge, supplies emergency power for 3 seconds. That's a proper ratio for my application!
3b) Through a diode voltage drop/loss can be measured on a Arduino analog pin.
4) The Arduino has an internal EEEPROM of 512 bytes, which is totally satisfying for my application!
What remains open:
Ad 3a) The provided example uses a 0.47F capacitor. In what price range is that? A quick search showed me products for about 50 EUR. I hope I was searching in the wrong sections! I imagined rather a price range of 0 - 3 EUR. Possible? What exact type of capacitor do I need?
Ad 3b) The provided code shows that the voltage monitoring must run continously in the main loop. Is there no interrupt/event implementation within Arduino. (Sorry if my question is naive, I am a newbie)

So you've let your teen or young 20-something take a Spring Break trip with his/her friends. Do you even want to know what's going on down there or is ignorance bliss?
Did you warn them to stay with their friends? Did you warn them not to go off with a boy alone? Did you invoke Natalee Holloway's name? Did you tell them under no circumstances to lift their shirts for a "Girls Gone Wild" video? Would you want to know if they did?
Do you make them check in with your daily, nightly? Did you send spies? Are you attempting reconnaissance?

Well, for one thing, an underage teen in my house wouldn't be going on spring break alone with friends in the first place, so problem solved. It's strictly a college-age privilege.
As I told my 20-year-old son when he prepared to go on his first spring break trip with friends from school: 1) "Don't be stupid." 2) make sure he had an AAA card in case of car trouble, 3) call or text me when you get there, mid-week to let me know how it's going (that's more under the category of "having fun?!") and again when you hit the road to start back home. (Both of my kids have had it drilled in them: "Call before you drive," just so I know when they're on the road – they pretty much do it automatically, now).
And, finally: "If you get arrested for DUI, you can rot in jail until the cows come home," (a corollary of "don't be stupid"). That's my biggest fear/pet peeve/hot button, and both kids know how adamant and unforgiving I am on this topic – I had friends killed by a drunk driver when they were on their way home from a concert in college, and I never forgot it. It's an action that is completely under their control, and a really, really unforgiveably bad decision. I have a former colleague who is currently serving 10 years in jail for having one too many drinks at happy hour and then being involved in an auto accident in which the other driver died. When she gets out of jail, her baby will be 11 years old, and her two other children will be teenagers. The case made quite an impression on my kids, and was a sad example of unintended consequences.
He's pretty levelheaded, though, and while I'm sure he had adventures that I will never know about, that's ok — goodness knows, my parents sure didn't know every detail of my spring break trips! And let's face it — he's 20 years old. If I haven't raised him right by now, I've pretty much blown my chance, eh? Of course, he's 6′3″ and 210 lbs., so not too many people are going to think about messing with him!
We've discussed alcohol use. Even though the drinking age is 21, I think it's realistic to assume that kids will probably partake when they are in college. And, really, most of the safety rules we've talked about also apply to soft drinks: We've talked about keeping custody of your own drink, never accepting a drink from someone you don't know (or, if you do, just discreetly put it down somewhere else), and always make sure that someone else knows where you are supposed to be.
I will freely admit that I will be a lot more nervous about my daughter going on a spring break trip than I was about my son. Chauvanistic, perhaps, but there it is.

My daughter is babysitting for spring break. She had the choice to go to the beach with family friends, but chose to stay home and make money this time. However, we did go to Gatlinburg for the weekend. That's it for our spring break. Heck, the adults didn't even drink this weekend…….

Well, I don't have any kids going on spring break without supervision! THANKFULLY! I would hope that their commen sense upbringing would "kick in" when they are alone, but as most of us know, that doesn't usually happen. I would request that they call or at least text. Honestly, my teen aged step kids are not responsible enough to spend a week unsupervised! I'm certain they would end up in jail!

My daughter is just 16 and not ready for spring break trips. Heck, I have drilled it into her head the negatives about drugs, alcohol and sex. And pray she had heard me, but fear she will make a catastrophic mistake. At 16 she seems to have lost common sense and I don't know what has happened with her. Maybe it is just the age, but I am looking forward to meeting with her counslor this month to discuss these changes I have notices.
Funny thing happened over the weekend I have got to share. DD went out with a "friend" Saturday night. We had said she could be out until 11pm. About 8:30pm I get a call from her, but she is not responding when I call her name. Seems her phone butt dailed me. We listened, I ended up txting her while we were listening to them, letting her know everything we overheard. This went on for 30 minutes. Finally I hung up and called her back, boy was she embarrassed when she realized what had happened

That's what I'd be wondering! It's amazing what you can find out by looking at texts and listening when they accidentally call!

I think it's kinda sad that we can't send our kids off to do the same things we did for spring break. My high school girl friends and I went to PC Beach for the 3 years in High School that we could drive. We stayed at the Chateau Motel (they didn't used to require a parent as long as you had $$$ and we saves all year to be able to go) right by the amusement park. We would sleep late, lay on the beach and cruise up and down the strip trying to meet cute boys.
We had a great time and there was never a lot of drinking going on…at least not in our group. You could find it if you wanted to.
I had to take this week off from work ( without pay! ) to stay home with my son. We couldn't afford a vacation this year but are going to make the 1 1/2 drive into Atlanta on Friday to see King Tut other than that…we are SPRING CLEANING!

My HS senior made plans with his buddies to drive to Myrtle Beach over the break, with no reservations. They figured they would find something once they arrived. We put the kabosh on that idea. The father of one of the boys ended up renting a condo in Destin, and offered to go down with them. I haven't heard anything, other than "I'm fine".
Youngest just flew home this morning from So. FL. The friend he was supposed to spend the week with came down with a high fever the day after he arrived. He sounded so miserable on the phone, we changed his flight and had him come home early.

I would never allow my kids to go on a spring break trip while still in high school. When they go to college of course they can go and enjoy themselves. But, I would expect to be called. Now at 20, you're no longer a kid, you're an adult and should be able to make intelligent decisions.

My daughter is not old enough to do spring break. That being said, she has an older half-sister who is 20 and in college. We both have Facebook pages and are friends on there. She went on spring break to Daytona the week before last with her friends. I gave the normal words of wisdom about staying out of trouble and being safe. Other than a couple of bikini shots, and notes about having a good time, she did not post anything about spring break on her page. HOWEVER, her friends did and they "tagged" her in photos. Whenever someone tags one of your friends in a photo, you are given notice on your home page. Once you click on the tagged photo, you can see all of the rest of the photos in that person's album. There were several shots of her drinking and partying. I grew up in a household where there was no alcohol or smoking and I nor my siblings drink or smoke. Her parents do. I realize that by the end of the year she will be 21, but it was very uncomfortable for me to see these pictures. I have yet to mention the photos to her, her father (we are no longer together) or her mother, and I am unsure if I ever will.

Joe, The things she said were typical teenager things, the things that got to me was she was making herself to be someone other than she is. When I asked her about it, she just felt he would not like her as she was and she wanted to be someone interesting. I expalined that in a very short period of time he would have seen through the lies and not liked her because of it. That if he asked her out, it was because he wanted to get to know her, not a persona of what she thought he wanted her to be. I also pointed out she has never been a follow the crowd, she has always been very proud of her identity and that she did not feel she had to "fit in" to be like. She needs to stay proud of herself and feel she is worth knowing without putting on a facade.

My children are too young. They have tons of family near the beaches, so it may be that when they are teens I let them go visit. Hopefully they will stay the path under the watchful eyes of extended family…but that is a choice to be made at a later date.
I am curious about this "So you've let your teen or young 20-something" I ascribe to the 'My House, My Rules' school of thought. However, does a parent really 'let' a young 20-something (or a 19 yo who's been off to school) do anything?

My kids will not be permitted to partake of Spring Break trips with friends…alone…while still in high school. But when they enter college and have the means to foot the bill for the trip….then sure. They just need to understand one very simple truth….MOM AND DAD WILL NOT BAIL YOUR ARSE OUT OF JAIL IF YOU GET BUSTED FOR SOMETHING STUPID!!!!! Too many kids are allowed to do adult things while still children. The parents of these kids are doing them a HUGE disservice. Our kids need to learn personal responsibility…..I see so many treating life as a Hedonist Resort!!! I am certainly no prude….far from it….but I strive everyday to instill in my children that for everything they do, there is a consequence. Good and bad. For most teenaged goobers….the choices made if allowed to go off with friends for spring break…will be ones they regret.
April 7th, 2009

We did not let our oldest go while in high school and will certainly not let our youngest. Even the first year of college we were a bit hesitant and laid down some rules, but this year at 20 we really no longer had any say other than, call when you are on the road, call when you get there, check in periodically, call when you leave and call when you get back to school. Call really means text. High schoolers, even with a chaperone, just find so many ways to make bad choices. Not that I don't trust my two, but why put them in a position where the opportunities are so wide open?
April 7th, 2009
12:32 pm
Mine are 22 and 24 now and my 24 year old just had his last spring break trip of his college years as he is graduating May 2nd. My boys never went on spring break trips in high school, it never even came up as a topic, so this high school spring break is new to me, but perhaps that's because my boys grew up in South Florida and the beach is right there :)
April 7th, 2009

I will gladly go chaperone for any teenager…..There is SNOW in Atlanta….UGH! At least if I am off for Spring Break could Mother Nature not send snow?
The kids and I are having fun with board games and will hit a $1 show later. Soup is simmering on the stove. One luxury of being off is getting to do more in my kitchen.

@FCM: However, does a parent really 'let' a young 20-something (or a 19 yo who's been off to school) do anything?
The answer in most cases is "no". Once a kid goes off to college and becomes accustomed to making decisions on his own regarding bedtimes, work habits and recreational activities, it's impossible to go back. And why would you want to? Isn't this what a parent wants, a kid who is maturing and making his own life decisions? Some parents try — I am constantly amused at a friend of my son's, whose parent insist on a 12:30 AM curfew when he's home from college. It's caused a lot of unnecessary friction, so he has chosen to short-circuit it: he avoids home as much as possible, including sneaking into town to visit friends without staying at home.
The only thing I ask of my 20 year old when he's home is to give me a call by midnight and let me know his plans for the rest of the evening, so I know whether or not to panic when I wake up the next morning and he's not here.

My kids can go in high school as long as a parent or parents are along and REALLY there in person (I will be happy to do that duty any time). I think my boys may want to go skiing on spring break, and my husband will be taking them on that venture (while i cross country, snow shoe and hang out reading in the lodge!). Once they're in college, if they can afford it, then they can go. I'll definitely give them the "dos and don'ts" and call to check on them, but after age 18, they can go wherever they want as long as they work for the money to get them there and are making decent grades in college (that is if they want the tuition to keep getting paid).
April 7th, 2009

I'm with FCM, as long as you live in my house, and I'm footing the bill, I will make the rules.
Now, when my kid comes home from college and is still wanting to take MY car, there will be rules for MY vehicle. I don't care what time she comes home, but my car must be in the garage at a certain time. I've already started using that rule.
When they go to college, and come home during breaks, there are still rules to abide by in my home. It's just respectful. I'm not running a dorm. But there will not be a curfew for her, just for the car. That's what my parents did with me.
April 7th, 2009

Oh JJ I like the car rule. I may have to adopt that in 14 years or so when mine start driving.

While I was strict with them in high school (no spring break trips), once they got in college IF they could foot the bills completely, I was a little more flexible after their sophomore years. Among the three of them, there might have been 3 spring break trips.
A friend just had her early 20s sons go to PC and they were assaulted within hours of arrival by some people at the pool. One ended up in the hospital with a broken jaw (and no insurance). No security guards, no film, and the police did a less than aggressive job in investigating (did not file a report, for instance). So far the med bills alone are over $10,000. His mouth will be wired for about 8 weeks.

I don't understand why you people won't let your kids out of your sight. You raised them to be responsible, and now you don't trust them 10 feet away from you.
Give them a little credit, and a little lee-way. Life is full of stupid decisions, all of us have made them. Let them go and make their own stupid decisions. They won't all get killed on spring break.
Catlady, do you know the ENTIRE story as to why your friend's kids were assaulted. Maybe they had a little too much to drink and started something they couldn't finish………
My kids, have been going to PCB for spring break since they were seniors in high school, and not one incident has happened.
You are doing your kids a disservice by keeping them attached to the apron strings. Let them flex their wings, and see what happens.
Not all teenagers do stupid things. There are some pretty responsible ones out there……..
April 7th, 2009

The boys had arrived about 20 minutes earlier and gone to the pool after putting their suitcases up. The thugs were crashing a wedding shower. One brother got thrown into the pool and the one who got hurt got cold-cocked by one of the thugs. There were witnesses who verified this, when the police went back to interview the actual hotel guests.
I do trust my kids, but I don't trust other people's kids and adults who prey on them, especially when there is alcohol. Unsupervised kids whose parents push/allow them into situations they are ill-prepared for.
When I was a grad student the usage at the university women's clinic SKYROCKETED right after spring break, and it wasn't because of sunburn.
Of course, a lot of what is discussed on this blog is foreign to me (co-ed sleepovers was one). I was raised with conservative behavior standards (not conservative in other ways, mind you), and my standards for my kids were almost as conservative. As a teacher I see too many kids whose parents give them "freedom" they are not prepared to handle. We get lots of grandmas and grandpas that way. Sometimes I think it is the parents who want the freedom.
Let your children be adults when they ARe adults, IMHO.

My 18 y/o son, a hs senior, went camping with several friends (all boys) for 3 days, unsupervised. They all came back in one piece. My son is pretty level-headed, but when there more than a few boys together, I fear their cumulative brain power drops. Although he is not a follower, I would not allow an unsupervised trip anywhere else at this point, even if I felt he were ready for it, because I'm not, and I don't know if his friends are. And, you just don't know for sure what kids will do, you think you do, and you hope you do, but you don't know for sure…it just might be the time when stupidity makes an appearance. I don't see the necessity for a high school student to go away alone. There is plenty of time for that, why rush it?
April 7th, 2009

@ Storm: no incident has happened that you are aware of. That's a lot different than no incident happening.
@FCM: yes, parents do have some control over their 20 something year old. I am in college, and my mom has some say over me. For instance, I want a dog, but my mom says I need to wait. She told me point blank: if I get a dog, she will no longer pay rent. Money talks. I have a job, but I am a full time student and cannot work enough to pay rent, bills, food, gas, etc.
It is honestly my experience that high school spring breaks are almost crazier than college spring breaks. In high school it's all about breaking rules, but college is more just about having fun with your friends. In college, you have freedom all the time, not just the one week of spring break. There's no need to act up on spring break.
April 7th, 2009
10:56 pm
STORM: I agree with you almost all the way and I will probably let my kids go when they are juniors or seniors in high school. HOWEVER, bad stuff can happen all right. Didn't you hear about that Natalie girl in Aruba? Sure, isolated incident, and all that. But it's not an isolated incident when it happens to your kid.
I'm just pointing out, I DO agree with you for the most part.

My college aged daughter did not ask permission, she informed me she was going out of the country on Spring Break. She and 1 other girl flew to Central America, hung out with a bunch of guys all week, and other than a very brief call to let us know she arrived, we did not hear from her until she got back. She said she had a blast, and would do it again in a heartbeat.
But in her defense . . .
They flew to Honduras to volunteer at an orphanage, the "guys" were all 8-12 year old boys, and she and her friend spent the week tutoring English, driving cattle on horseback, and milking cows. And since the friend did not speak Spanish, my daughter also assumed the role of interpreter. There was virtually no internet of phone service, as the area is very impoverished. And she is 21 year old college junior, so while I still give my opinion, the decisions she makes are hers.
But next year as Seniors they are planning a cruise. :)

LM god bless you and i wish you the best in dealing with your teen.it can be very hard.
DB i mostly agree with your posts. my youngest will be 17 when she graduates from high school this spring. she is absolutely not allowed to go on any kind of trip..she and her friends have had a road trip across the country planned since they were in 3rd grade lol..umm guess whos not going? all of them lol…i never told her she couldnt cause i figured id cross that bridge when i came to it and as i was hoping it never came to pass. her age is one thing-imo no one underage (18) should go with friends on a vacation simply for legal reasons if nothing else. i have given this last child (out of 5) a lot more freedom than her older sibs and it really had paid off. she is responsible—not to say she doesnt do things i dont agree with-and not to say she wont do something stupid in the future.the main thing i worry about is any underage drinking or being around pot–i tell her if shes doing it or if she isnt, if shes around when it happens then she will go down with the crowd. i hope she understands this. im sure next summer after she turns 18 (and had 1 year of college under her belt) she will be wanting to go on a trip with friends. at that time she will be told-you are 18-make sure you have resources to get out of any trouble you may get into…of course there is no way id let her stay in a jail somewhere-but she has to know how hard it would be for her to get in trouble states away. she has had some experience of kids in trouble with her older brothers so she understands a little more than most-and she doesnt seem to have that kid attitude of 'it wont happen to me' she knows it can. so i can only hope and pray i have taught her well and she wont screw her life up making a stupid mistake or being with the wrong people. thats really all we can ever do.
as far as rules in my house–let me know where you are-when you are on the way home-DONT wake me up coming in making noise!!!! and there are also rules about certain places shes not allowed to go–which is really never an issue as she has the same friends from birth almost.

AH! I had not consider that parents were funding the 20-somethings…thanks Claire. I agree with the other posters, if mine want to vaca they do it on their dime and when they are legal. Mine will also be required to contribute to their college tuition (grants and scholarships count toward contributions)…I do not ascribe to the "as parents we owe them a college education" theory.
I am keeping these ideas of the parents who there now (or have been) in mind. As I said, for their HS years it is likely that Spring Break will be spent on the beach with their various cousins and hopefully other (adult) extended family.

Newsletter and blog counter negative impression of Jenks
When Vanessa Yingling, Ph.D., moved to Philadelphia from Brooklyn with her partner Rob Gabriel and their two small children, they sought out a strong neighborhood community. When they came to Chestnut Hill, they knew they found a home.
The growing family enjoys many walks along the Avenue and visiting the shops and bakeries near their home. When it was time to send their daughter to preschool, they chose Miquon.
"I have always been a believer in public schools," says Yingling. "It is what makes America different." When she and her children walked by Jenks or played on the community playground at Jenks, she often felt conflicted that her kids would not attend the community public school.
Last year when Jenks held its open house, Yingling decided to attend. "We loved Miquon and were totally satisfied there. I went to the open house to assuage my guilt for not sending my children there."
The open house was all she needed. "I was so really impressed with the fun, exciting atmosphere at Jenks." As she evaluated the kindergarten program, she described how happy she was with the principal, teachers, students and level of parent involvement. Yingling was most surprised by the 'specials' that the kindergartners attend. These include art, computers, physical education and Spanish.
Alex started kindergarten last fall. Yingling and Gabriel are pleased with their decision. Their daughter is eager to attend school, is proud of her role in the classroom and enjoys learning. Yingling loves the parent community and the endless opportunities available for her to make positive contributions to the school. She wanted to make sure that all the parents knew how great the school was so she re-instituted the Jenks News, a school newsletter.
The four-page bi-monthly newsletter is attractive with a professional format, pictures and images. Input for content comes from teachers, staff and parents. Its front page offers a letter from the principal and schedule of upcoming events. Inside are announcements of events and programs held at the school as well as student work including sixth graders' haikus, fifth grade poems and photos of art work.
"Adventures in Kindergarten" tells of the class trip to Styer's Orchard and the Philadelphia Art Museum. The fifth grade update describes their Native American Tribe studies which included learning of the people, the art work and the culture.
The newsletter is written on Yingling's home computer using MS Publisher software, copied by the school district and duplicated in black and white to all Jenks students. For $65, a family or business can sponsor each edition of the newsletter to cover publication costs.
Yingling is very pleased with the newsletter and the positive reception the students and parents have expressed. She has ideas for improvements including incorporating the upper students' writing as well as running more photos with a greater variety of subject matter. There were, however, other challenges that awaited her.
Outside of the school, she sensed that there was still a negative impression of the school, "I recognized that we needed something for people who want to get a parent perspective to counter the negative and misinformation that was out there."
Although she does not consider herself the "blogger type," she decided to start a blog so that prospective parents who were looking at Jenks could find positive information on the school. When Yingling explains how she set up the blog, she gives all credit to Kevin Peter, who put together the blog "Knowing Henry." This site, which Yingling used as her model, has become a great source of information for potential and current C.W. Henry School families.
Yingling's blogspot, "This year at Jenks" (http://thisyearatjenks.blogspot.com), includes articles, photographs, upcoming events and links to other sites. A recent article tells of the greatschools.net Web site and encourages parents to submit and read other reviews of their school. Other highlights are links to articles about Jenks that have been in the Chestnut Hill Local, information about after-school programs and reflective pieces such as "Winter Doldrums; It's all Perspective."
As with many sites, her challenge is to get more traffic to the blog. She has many ideas for enhancing the site but for now, as with the newsletter, she is happy to be contributing to telling the "positive story about a Jenks education." Her hope is that more parents will make posts and share their perspectives.
Although maintaining the blog and writing the newsletter can be time-consuming, Yingling still manages to work full-time at Temple University as an assistant professor in the department of kinesiology. In addition to teaching, Yingling runs a kinesiology lab currently examining bone strength development.
A native of Southern California, Yingling received her B.S. in bioengineering from the University of California at San Diego. She crossed the country (and weather patterns) and completed her master's degree at the University of Buffalo in New York. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Waterloo and completed her post-doctoral work at Washington University in St. Louis.
The opportunity to run the lab at Temple convinced her to leave her job at Brooklyn College and her partner Gabriel to leave his teaching position at Long Island University. He is currently teaching at Temple University as well in the physical therapy arena.
After many residences, various climates and two countries, Yingling believes she has found the right home in which to raise her children. A resident of Chestnut Hill, she loves the urban atmosphere of the area, but admits she and Gabriel did have to buy one car when they moved here three years ago.
Her mornings begin with a walk up the Avenue, stopping at Willow Grove Salon to visit Roberta or Bredenbecks for a breakfast treat for Alex, 6, and Nicolas, 3. The first drop off is Nicolas, who attends Christ Lutheran Child Care. They cross the street as Alex runs to her Jenks kindergarten class. "It's a great feeling to love your kids' school and to love the community where you live," said Vanessa.

Sweetwater is growing, again
But this time, the company that's become synonymous with Atlanta craft beer has embarked on an ambitious expansion project that will create the capacity to compete with some of the country's biggest breweries.
Sweetwater now ranks No. 27 among the top 50 U.S. craft brewing companies and No. 38 overall (Anheuser-Busch InBev is No. 1).
Recently, Sweetwater brewmaster Mark Medlin oversaw the installation of a centrifugal separator — a half-million-dollar piece of equipment that will help speed the process of getting beer from the fermentation tanks to the bottling line and make production a bit less hectic during the coming months of construction.
At the brewery one recent afternoon, Medlin and Sweetwater "Minister of Propaganda" Steve Farace led visitors on a tour of the planned expansion, illustrated with an architect's drawing and buoyed by samples of the latest Dank Tank creation, Browneyed Buckeye Brown India Pale Ale.
"We were behind on this beer," Medlin said, "but basically, we were able to package it a few hours after it was centrifuged."
A new building — which will include a new bottling line and packaging hall, lab, offices, event space and outdoor deck — will connect the existing brewery with a warehouse building next door that will house raw materials, finished goods and shipping and receiving. After that, the old bottling line will be scrapped and replaced by a new group of 1,000 barrel fermenters and bright beer tanks.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in November. But most exciting for beer geeks, Sweetwater has already been experimenting with bottle conditioning, a traditional method of naturally carbonating beer by adding a small amount of fermentable sugar and yeast to the bottle.
"We already have most of the equipment," Medlin said. "And so far, we've been very pleased with our trial results. We've shown that bottle conditioning is hands down better beer over time. It's going to improve the quality of our beer immensely."
Medlin said he thinks the first Sweetwater bottle-conditioned beers may be ready by April 2012.
Later in 2012, Sweetwater will add a new 250-barrel brewhouse, with the capacity to produce up to 500,000 barrels of beer a year. Current production is on track to top out at more than 100,000 barrels in 2011. And that's what pushed expansion plans forward sooner than expected.
"It will be the first time ever that we will really have the capacity to grow as a brewery," Farace said. "The sales are always there, then production will jump up a little, but sales always catch up and push production again.
"This kind of growth and this kind of investment in the brewery in infrastructure and the quality of equipment, these are things we've wanted and needed for so long. But it's really amazing how fast we've been growing, especially this year. The best part is that most of our business is right here in metro Atlanta. The more beer we can sell in our backyard, the better."

Cool, but I still consider their line up somewhat weak and aimed at college aged kids. The IPA is one of the best as is Motorboat. After that, it drops off significantly. Replace the blueberry and or ScWeat with the Exodus porter and I might become a customer again.

Receiver Jamel Richardson's move to Toronto may have hit a stumbling block.
Acording to Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette, sources say Richardson failed his physical with the Argonauts on Wednesday.
Ricahrdson was released by the Montreal Alouettes last week after it was expected he would miss half the season while he continues to recover from a knee injury suffered last year.
A 10-year veteran, Richardson surpassed 1,000 yards receiving in five of his six seasons in Montreal. The 32-year-old had just 18 catches for 197 yards last season but missed 13 games due to injury.

Nuclear energy is unsafe
Given the recent Japanese meltdown situation with their nuclear facilities I find it unbelievable that Bill Gates or anyone with any knowledge of industrial accident history and nuclear energy can with a clear conscience support this idea. This is Russian roulette with the most lethal substance, and the gun pointed at us all. Blue screen: Reboot Bill and try again.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 15 2011: the strongest earthquake in recent history strikes a nuclear plant. then it gets hit by a massive tsunami. there is no electricity due to the same reason. and all of the 4 reactor cores are still intact. minimal amount of radiation escaped. they actually work on how to save the plant or at least salvage materials and fuel, not to save people. people's life are not at serious risk.
this is the showcase how safe these reactors are. i mean, what is needed to actually breach a core? meteor impact?
EDIT: correction, the cores are damaged. i meant the containment vessel.
Mar 15 2011: I agree on this one.
There is still no sign of a full meltdown of one of the cores. So it is reasonably to believe that the way these reactors are build is strong enough to survive a tsunami and an earthquake.
But, if a core collapses in one of the following days then there is a reason to take a good look at the position of these reactors. For instance in Holland we don't know any earthquakes and tsunamis, so you can say that a reactor here is safe enough.

Intergenerational talent transmission, inequality, and social mobility
AbstractThe paper investigates the effects of intra-family talent transmission when human capital exhibits indivisibilities and parental financing of education involves borrowing constraints. Positive talent correlation reduces social mobility but steady state inequality and macroeconomic history-dependence are not affected.

DIY Idea: Build a Place to Escape
If DIY is your thing and you are looking for a summer project, take a look at this mid-century inspired bungalow for your backyard. How great would it be to have a little spot like this in your yard to spend a summer evening?
Of course, a set up like this is a bit of a project, but ReadyMade has full instructions that take you from the hardware store to the end goal in clear, well-photographed steps.
Find the full instructions at ReadyMade.

My mother did this the summer I was six or seven. It was a whole family event, especially raising the walls. We call it the little house and it has always been this nice retreat in their backyard. It's even survived a tornado when most of the rest of the yard didn't.
This is just what I've been want in to do in my yard. I wonder how the plexiglass would wear over time, though. I think I'd be tempted to hire someone to glaze it properly in tempered glass.
Followed the link to instructions , they were great! Looking forward to doing something like this some day.
So fun! I would love to do this if I ever manage to finish all the remodeling projects inside the house
I forget the name of where these plans came from, but they've been around for a long time. You used to be able to buy the "blue prints" from ready made. I've wanted to make one for AGES. But not actually owning my own places has kept me from doing it.
Love how this looks, love the idea of having my own grown-up playhouse -- but the idea of spending summer evenings roasting in an airless box sounds REALLY uncomfortable.
The designer of this modular dwelling is Edgar Blazona.
You can find more like this at
That main picture should be emailed to Unhappy Hipsters immediately.
this reminds me of something I saw in this months issue of Elle Decoration (UK), it was a glass box on the lake in the woods in finland. I will have to go dig up a link.
In the real world, flies, gnats & mosquitos exist. This would be better if screens were easy additions. Would also be a good place to send the kids, use as a mini guest house and an evening retreat. The photo looks like "over spent on MCM, so had to really scrimp on the house".
Brilliant idea.
What is the aproximate cost (material only) to built of of those module?
I wonder is it would survived our canadian winter.
@RMBNN, screens could be a lot cheaper and cooler (temperature) than that sheet of plexiglass too.
I just built one of these last summer!
The plans estimate it to be $1500 in materials, but I spent probably closer to $2500, not including the tools I needed to buy. The plexiglass windows definitely cost the most, about $800 not including freight shipping. Getting the plexiglass custom-made and cut actually ended up being about the same price as getting individual sheets from Home Depot, and saved a bit of labor. Also, the plans called for two large panes of plexiglass for the single large window, caulked together in the center. However, my plexiglass fabricator was able to make one single pane in that size, making it less of a pane and better-looking as well.
I installed insulation and I'm sure it helps, but it gets cold and hot depending on the season (I live in Southern California). It took me about a month and a half to build, mostly working by myself. I finished it last August, but I still have a couple finishing touches I would like to complete (most of them inspired by posts on this site). Once I do, I'll submit some pictures!
architect says: I'd highly recommend using treated wood for the floor if you take this project on. I would also use 2x6's for the floor joists. I know he's broken the span up with the intermediate concrete bases, but 5' with a 2x4 is still a bit more than I'd like. Although, if its just going to be that one waifish lady, sitting pensively and thinking unhappy thoughts, 2x4's might be just fine...
Also keep in mind that the ones shown are in California...not sure I'd do it exactly like that here in the Chicago area.

Give Up
Definition of 'Give Up'
A procedure in securities or commodities trading where the executing broker places a trade on behalf of another broker as if he/she actually executed the trade. This is usually done because a broker is too busy to place a trade for a client and asks another broker to place the trade for him/her. On the record books, the trade will not show the executing broker's information, but the broker to whom the client belongs. Thus, the broker of the client and the broker on the other side of the trade will receive the commission, while the executing trader will get nothing. This is a grey area of law governing reimbursement of brokers for services (e.g. research).
Investopedia explains 'Give Up'
Pay close attention, here's how it works. Broker X gets a buy order from a client but is too busy to place the trade, so he asks Floor Broker Y, who isn't as busy, to place the order for him/her. Broker Y then buys the stock from Broker Z on behalf of Broker X's client. However, although Floor Broker Y places the trade, he must "give up" the transaction and record it as if Broker X placed the trade since the client belongs to him/her. Thus, the transaction is recorded as if X & Z made the trade, even though Floor Broker Y executed the trade.

Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - The Indianapolis Colts signed veteran running back Tashard Choice Monday while placing running back/return specialist Chris Rainey on injured reserve.
Choice had been released by Buffalo last week after gaining 126 yards on 35 carries over the season's first 12 games. The 29-year-old journeyman has compiled 1,535 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns over six NFL campaigns with Dallas, Washington and Buffalo.
Rainey was signed by the Colts on Nov. 20 and served as the club's primary kick and punt returner over the last two games. He injured his leg while taking back a kickoff in the third quarter of Sunday's 42-28 loss at Cincinnati.

Hey guys!
I found this awesome tutorial from this blog a while back and finally got a chance to try it out for myself. If you check out Erin's post, it has an excellent step by step instruction with pictures but I took my pictures anyways. Here they are…
I used Erin's pattern. You should too if you want to make this. They're perfect!
I skipped the topstitching at the end because I happened to like the way it looks without it.
If you haven't noticed, I used my scrap fabric that's left from this reupholstery project. I had to piece together a bunch of pieces to make the circles but it came out great anyways :-)
This would make great hand-made holiday gift, don't you think!?

Pretty interesting stuff here. If the Chiefs (basically Clark Hunt) do fire Carl Peterson, would Bill Kuharich be first in line to replace him? He was mentioned by Peter King as one of the top potential GM candidates out there (hat tip to reader Adam #2):
1. Scott Pioli, 42, New England. Smart. Ready, if he ever chooses to leave his good friend Belichick's side, which he'll likely have to do if he ever wants to have his football acumen recognized.
2. Chris Polian, 35, Indianapolis. Working under his prominent dad, Bill, Polian has risen to vice president of football operations and tried to learn lessons from top baseball execs. Tough and precocious.
3. Jeff Ireland, 38, Dallas. Thorough and ultra-prepared, with a reasoned opinion about every player he scouts. Unemotional and methodical.
Close: Philadelphia GM Tom Heckert, 40 (who might be available because Andy Reid has final authority with the Eagles); Baltimore director of pro personnel George Kokinis, 40; Green Bay personnel analyst John Schneider, 36.
Teams looking for more veteran guys could look at former Saints GM Bill Kuharich, 54, now the Chiefs' VP for player personnel, or Chris Mara, 50, the Giants' VP for player evaluation.
(Don't even mention Pioli — we have no chance.)
Now, not only does Kuharich have experience as a GM, but he also has experience working with Hunt and head coach Herm Edwards. He's also still relatively young for the position, and really cannot be blamed for Peterson's follies since he's only been with the Chiefs since 2000, and only been vice president of player personnel since February 2006.
In fact, one could argue that the Chiefs personnel decisions have improved since Kuharich's promotion. He obviously has been part of some huge moves, and this older bio from the Chiefs official site reflects that:
Kuharich was also the first NFL executive to spot the potential of QB Jake Delhomme, signing him as a rookie free agent with the Saints in '97. Delhomme later led Carolina to a berth in Super Bowl XXXVIII and has earned a pair of Pro Bowl invitations. Other noteworthy Chiefs players that Kuharich played a role in procuring in Kansas City include three-time Pro Bowl RB Priest Holmes, two-time Pro Bowl QB Trent Green, two-time 1,000-yard WR Eddie Kennison and DE Tamba Hali (D1-06), who started all 16 games for the club a year ago.
When you consider that Kuharich played such a big role in drafting Hali during his first draft as V.P., you'd also have to assume that he played a huge role in this year's selection of Dwayne Bowe. Given that Derrick Johnson was basically a no-brainer pick when he fell to us, those are our best two first-round draft selections since we nabbed Tony Gonzalez over a decade ago. It's obvious, at least to me, that since his promotion and Herm's arrival, the personnel decisions have only improved. I've always believed that Dick Vermeil and Lynn Stiles were pretty lousy when it came to personnel decisions, especially the draft, and things have been better personnel wise since Vermeil's departure. There is definitely an argument that Kuharich has been the brains behind many of the Chiefs' best football decisions since 2000.
Even Peterson believes Kuharich is ready to run an NFL franchise, as evidenced by this quote:
"Bill's outstanding background and experience certainly qualifies him to run an NFL franchise and we're very pleased to have someone of his caliber and expertise working for the Kansas City Chiefs." – Carl Peterson
Maybe it's just me, but if King Carl does get canned or moved to the business side, I'm not sure that the best replacement isn't a guy just down the hall — Bill Kuharich.

Los Angeles • Utah's offense is always competitive in the hands of Delon Wright. It's good when Jordan Loveridge is aggressive. And when Brandon Taylor joins the fray, it becomes explosive.
But when Dakarai Tucker's hitting shots? It becomes borderline unstoppable.

The first eight minutes of the second half Thursday night proved it. Tucker, the Los Angeles native, scored 11 of his 13 points in that span. Three of his makes came from beyond the 3-point arc. A tomahawk dunk in transition sent the Ute fans in the near-empty Galen Center into a frenzy.
The result was a 79-71 win over USC and Utah's first road win of the season. Wright scored 20 points and Loveridge added 18. But this wouldn't have happened without Tucker's explosion.
"We were fighting for a road win and I didn't want to let my team down," Tucker said. "I felt relaxed out there, and I got into a groove and my shot started to fall."
In many ways, Tucker has been a barometer for the Utes this season, and he will be so again Saturday when Utah plays at UCLA. When he shoots well, he adds another dimension to the offense. His ability to shoot helps space the floor for Loveridge and the post players, and the driving lanes are more open for Wright and Taylor. For example, Dallin Bachynski scored 13 points against the Trojans; mostly because of Tucker, he saw one-on-one coverage on the interior and had room to work.
It hasn't been easy for Tucker this season. He's seen his minutes fluctuate. The coaches haven't always been happy with his defense, and he's been platooned because of it.
"Dakarai was just big for us," Taylor said. "He's home in Los Angeles for the first time, and he was just feeling it. He made big shots and he did other things that really helped us."
Tucker's most impressive play had nothing to do with offense. Midway through the second half, Byron Wesley went to the basket and Tucker blocked his shot. He hustled after the loose ball, dived and knocked it off Wesley at the last moment. It was the kind of defensive effort that's been missing at times this season. Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak congratulated him when he returned to the bench.
The Utes will need more of the same if they plan on beating a Bruins team that is one of the best offensively in the Pac-12. UCLA beat Colorado 92-74 on Thursday, blitzing the Buffaloes with 3-pointers and Kyle Anderson's all-around wizardry.
"It's an important game for us," Taylor said. "They are going to be waiting for us and we have to be ready for them. We'll go and look at the film and see what we can do."
