This photo was taken and posted a while ago by one of my acquaintances on Tumblr before I got here. This is my mini 2x4 inch painting, evidenced by my additional photo of it when it was in progress.. It's acrylic on canvas. I have the tiniest brush that I used for detailing. I made it for my friend who absolutely loves Disneyland and it's always the most fun going there with her because she knows exactly what to do there (and so we always get our money's worth). Over the past few years my love for Disney & Disneyland has deepened.

There were a few Ole alumni in attendance, but being an Olaf graduate wasn't the only reason to visit campus over the weekend.
Sitting at round tables in the Black and Gold Ballroom, moms and daughters caught up as another school year neared its end.
Claire McDonald '05 introduced the events of the brunch. Carrie Kern 05 then followed McDonald's introduction by saying the meal's prayer.
Following Kerns prayer, Bon Appétit served up a new spin on Stav Hall's cheesy egg dish. After the meal, lifetime Northfielder Jean Callister-Benson, director of stewardship at St. Olaf, and mother of a first year student (who didn't want her mother to mention her name during her speech), gave a presentation on what it means to be a mother.
Callister-Benson related her conceptions of motherhood through the metaphor of jumping from a plane, because this spring break her daughter did just that.
All that is involved in diving out of a plane whether or not it is done tandem or alone, with the safety of a parachute or with a phone call to mom once hitting the ground are required to make the jump safely.
These same safety precautions are also important when making the metaphorical jump into life. Callister-Benson interviewed her daughters and friends on making this jump into life.
Callister-Benson advised that people learn the risks of jumping out of a plane, as well as jumping into life. In skydiving, an average of 35 people per year die because of mistakes made in the process.
Despite the fact that these 35 come from a pool of 12 million skydivers, Callister-Benson still encouraged her audience to avoid the mistakes in the procedure of life.
For example, she said women should know a good drop zone when they see one.
"Look for a drop zone that's more than a livelihood; look for a drop zone that challenges you," Benson said. She also encouraged the daughters in the room to "be proud that you've landed."
This encouragement from mothers to their daughters ended with "Dance with the Wind," a poem about skydiving by skydiver and poet Rodney Ross.
The poem advises readers to "see the world as it is."
For the mothers and daughters in attendance, Callister-Bensons speech encouraged a strong mother-daughter bond throughout the room.
Whether the mothers in attendance were from Northfield or other areas of the country, Callister-Bensons message seemed to resonate in the common relationships at each table among the women.
Each mother-daughter pair undoubtedly left the banquet feeling ambitious, well-prepared and ready for a dive.

2011 began on a positive note for DBS when the January Sales returned a satisfying trade with 95 horses sold for an average of £6,666 and an aggregate of £633,300. This was matched by a clearance rate of 66%.
A Bridge Too Far showed the most recent form in the catalogue having been the impressive winner of a Maiden Hurdle at Wetherby the day before the sale and after trainer Paul Webber announced that the horse would be coming under the hammer at DBS the following day there was no shortage of interest for the five year old son of Oscar. Bobby O'Ryan and Tom Malone showed interest for the gelding, who had finished second on his debut at Ludlow in November, but it was Donald McCain Snr who made the final bid at £65,000 to go in to training with his son Donald.
The NH Foal section of the sale was topped by a son of Presenting who was consigned by Trickledown Stud. The May born colt finished second in the colts section of the Weatherbys Insurance/BBM Kenneth Oliver Memorial Foal Show and is out of the Grade 2 placed La Marianne. He also comes from the family of Banjaxed Girl, Marello and Karello Bay and it was David Minton from Highflyer Bloodstock who made the final bid of £36,000.
Neil Gilchrist has been a prolific buyer of NH foals, many of which are resold as NH Stores and his spending was topped by a Saint des Saints gelding who finished fourth in the Weatherbys Insurance/BBM Kenneth Oliver Memorial Foal Show. Consigned by Haras du Pommeray, the March born foal is from the French family of the Grade 3 winning Mister Hight.
Kayf Tara is Britain's Leading NH Sire and his international appeal was strengthened when French agent Guy Petit bought a gelding offered by Conduit Stud. The March born is from the French family of the Grade 2 winning Gilder.
Darley offered a draft of 11 horses that was topped by Kartuzy, who was in foal to Dubawi. The winning mare was bought by John O'Byrne for £21,000 after a protracted bidding dual with Neil Gilchrist.
Following the conclusion of the sale, DBS Managing Director Henry Beeby said:
'To start a new year with a negative is never desirable and I confess that the DBS team were disappointed with the size of our January Sales entry especially the huge drop in the number of NH foals (it is easier to understand the fall in the horses in training entry given the lack of racing in recent months). This is a real issue for us as we have regularly returned a vibrant trade for National Hunt Foals and DBS puts a huge amount of effort into supporting NH breeding and racing through a variety of sponsorships every year. We are delighted to continue with these various initiatives but it does make it hard to justify when we see so many UK NH breeders electing to sell at our main competitor in Ireland to the detriment of the NH market place in this country. We will have to have a long, hard look at the commerciality of a number of areas and get the feedback of those who can make the difference before deciding how to proceed.
Notwithstanding the above we felt that today's trade was perfectly acceptable in each category. Buying a NH foal is always a long term investment but there was a lively trade for those commercial foals who are likely to be resold in 2014 when we have to hope and believe the world will be in a better place from an economic point of view. The mares and horses in training also held their own and there is no doubt that DBS continues to provide a really vibrant marketplace for this category throughout the year.
To that end I am pleased to announce that DBS will hold a new National Hunt Festivals Sale after racing at Newbury on Greatwood Hurdle Day, 5 March 2011. This boutique sale will focus on quality horses with form that may be heading towards the major NH Festivals at Cheltenham, Aintree or Punchestown and comes at the optimum time to capitalise on the excitement that surrounds the build up to Cheltenham in particular. We will be announcing further details in connection with the lead up to the Sale which will include a number of Supplementary Entry spaces so entries can be made right up to the day of sale.'

Weatherbys Insurance/BBM Kenneth Oliver Memorial Foal Show
The DBS January Sales began with the annual Foal Show that was judged by John Bleahen and Vere Phillips, who were given the task of picking the foals that they best felt would make future racehorses. The show was generously sponsored by Weatherbys Insurance and British Bloodstock Marketing and the colts and fillies were competing for a £10,000 prize that was awarded only if the horse was sold under the hammer at the subsequent sale.
The results of the show are as follows:
Colts class
First Lot 38 Mahler ex Acoola offered by Deerpark Stud
Second Lot 69 Presenting ex La Marianne offered by Trickledown Stud
Third Lot 54 Black Sam Bellamy ex Delayed offered by Goldford Stud
Fourth Lot 42 Saint des Saints ex Aulne River offered by Haras du Pommeray
Fillies class
First Lot 61 Tobougg ex Forest Pride offered by Clarendon Farm

I would hope Blizzard doesn't add drops to atone for low drop rates, no matter how unusually low it may be.
First off, the Law of Large Numbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers) guarantees that, over time, random variables (such as the 10% drop rate of the Badge) will maintain a stable percentage at or very, very near the expected probability.
Secondly, you know they wouldn't "remove" any Badges if the drop rate suddenly spikes to an unusually high level, so why should they arbitrarily add Badges if the drop rate goes low for a period of time?
This is, of course, assuming a valid random number generator. Seeing as how we pretty much trust the /roll function, there's no reason to think that Blizzard adjusts things when we don't see the random number displayed in the chat log.

Bombardier Forecasts 24,000 Bizjet Deliveries by 2031
Bombardier Aerospace "is confident in the strong, long-term potential of the business aircraft industry" and, in its latest 20-year forecast for the business aircraft market, released today, it predicts deliveries of 24,000 business jets (excluding very light jets and bizliners) worth $648 billion from 2012 to 2031. Broken down in 10-year increments, the forecast anticipates 9,800 business jet deliveries worth $266 billion from 2012 to 2021 and 14,200 deliveries worth $382 billion from 2022 to 2031.
"While the business aviation market continues to recover, current market indicators are mixed," Bombardier said. "Market confidence needs to be fully restored for industry business jet deliveries to increase strongly and enable the industry to realize its full potential." The Canadian aircraft manufacturer said deliveries this year are expected to lag order intake, so business jet deliveries for 2012 are thus expected to be on par with last year. Bombardier believes that business jet deliveries will return to sustained growth starting next year, with the large-cabin jet segment growing the fastest.
Bombardier predicts that North America will dominate the market, with 9,500 new business jet deliveries over the 20 years of the forecast. Second will be Europe, with 3,920 aircraft, and China will become the third largest market for business jet deliveries at 2,420 aircraft.

Book Description:
A.W.Tozer's lasting passion was the subject of worship. In his first recording on the theme he says, 'I want to explain why we were created and why we are here ...that we might worship God and enjoy him forever. ' Worship, rooted in the Bible and historic writings, was the driving force in everything Tozer taught. He was convinced that we suffer from spiritual amnesia: we have forgotten why we are here. Worship is common to us all - but when we discover the true object of worship then life takes on meaning. What worship is truly acceptable to God? Tozer's purpose is to cultivate a spirit of worship in daily living. The book opens with an introductory essay on Dr Tozer, whose life and ministry well qualified him to speak on this subject.

Alice's Lament
October 21, 2009
I'd like to start resuming a friendship, but the other person is mistaken about why I backed off. Should I tell him why? It's...complicated.
Call me "Alice."
When I moved into my neighborhood, I met a couple living nearby named Bob and Carol. Shortly after I met them, I found out that they had an...understanding, and Bob and I hooked up a few times, with Carol's blessing. That went on for a few months.
Then Bob introduced me to his friend Ted, and then Ted and I became a VERY close couple, and I broke things off with Bob. But Bob was happy for us, and the four of us hung out together a few times. Bob and Ted also regularly hung out once a week with other guy friends (it was a "weekly poker game" kind of thing).
Then Ted broke up with me after a while, and I was just heartbroken for a month and avoided everyone. But then when I started making forays out into the world again, I got a certain....vibe from Bob, kind of like he wanted to renew the hooking up again. I thought it was in my head, until I had a conversation with Ted and he said that he'd picked up that same vibe from Carol (and Bob actually CONFIRMED Carol wanted to hook up with him). The whole thing felt skeevy to me, so I just kept my distance from Bob and Carol for a while.
That was all well over a year ago. I've seen Bob a few times, and he's commented on my disappearing act a couple times, but he was chalking it up to my holding a grudge for him introducing me to Ted. I told him no, that wasn't it - but I haven't told him why I was (I usually just gave some vague hand-wavy "I just had to work out some feelings about Ted" answer). I still get hints of a "vibe" from Bob now and then, still, so I've still been cautious. I am absolutely not interested in that kind of relationship with Bob any more.
But Ted's moved out of town and still keeps in touch with Bob a lot -- but hasn't been all that much in touch with me. Which I regret. And I'm afraid that that's because I'm giving Bob a bit of a wide berth, and Ted may think I want to avoid him too -- which isn't the case. So I'd like to do a bit of fence-mending with Bob -- not just for that, but also because we are neighbors.
So I have two choices: come clean with Bob about why I actually was avoiding him a while and THEN start gradually hanging out again, or start hanging out and wait to see if I get any vibe any more before I say something (by "vibe" I mean, for example, that he'll suddenly bring up things I said or did during some of our more, er, intimate moments). What would the wisest course be?

i would wait for bob to say something more than platonic (something clear enough that he can't maintain plausible deniability) and then tell him kindly that you don't think that that sort of relationship is what you want with bob but that you enjoy being his friend (so long as this is true). be warm to ted so that he doesn't transfer any aversion for bob onto himself.
are you this concerned about keeping in touch with ted because you still have feelings for him?

Honestly, I think the wisest course would be to steer clear of Bob, Ted, & Carol, and find some new friends. I don't mean that in a snarky way at all. I just think when the whole thing felt skeevy to you, you were accurately assessing the situation. You can be pleasant and neighborly to Bob and Carol when you see them, but it sounds like they may not have the best sense of boundaries, not because of their open relationship, but because Bob thinks it's appropriate to keep referencing your intimate moments in the past, and Carol expressed interest in Ted when she knew you were still recovering from the breakup. I suspect you will be pressured to have different types of interactions than what you are comfortable with, even if your wishes have been clearly stated.
I understand why you would want to be cordial to your neighbors, but I think that's easy enough to do without becoming genuinely close to or overly involved with them again. These days, it's very easy to lose touch with people, even those you really want in your life. If asked where you've been, you explain you've just busy with work, a new boyfriend, whatever, and as long as you are kind enough during your interactions, most people will accept that on its face.
As for Ted, I'm not entirely sure why you want to renew contact, but whether you just want his friendship or would like to rekindle your romance, I would think if he wanted to reconnect, he would have reached out by now even via Facebook or something similar. While you retreated to recover from the breakup, it doesn't sound like you directed any animosity towards Ted, so I don't think a perfectly normal reaction to a breakup would keep him from getting in touch now that some time has passed. I would suggest letting that be and focus on new people and relationships. Easier said than done, I know, but in the end, it would probably be the smartest thing for you to do. Best of luck!

Find new friends.
There's a whole heap of emotional baggage here. Its probably more baggage than you need or can tolerate in a casual friendship. Be neighborly and polite. Catch up with them at the block party, but don't try to make this friendship any more close than it is.

So I have two choices...
You have plenty of choices. I think you should run.
This seems like way more drama than a friendship needs to be. Unless Bob is the most awesome dude in the world, i'd look for new friends. I mean: a) he's your ex's friend b) you've slept with him c) you know his partner. That's pretty fucking awkward.

Having been around some folks who've been into open relationships and that sort of thing... I can tell you are getting confused here.
Bob is not a nice person. This is different from accepting or rejecting the lifestyle choices of these folks. Bob (it seems from what you've written) is using this lifestyle thing as a distraction from the fact that he's inappropriate towards you. Whether he is into open relationships or not, it's uncool for him to make "digs" about where you've been when you haven't been spending enmeshed time with Bob & Carol and their drama.
If your first instinct was to find these comments insulting - that's good! He was insulting you, and with a purpose...
You've pulled away from these folks and from Bob. That's cool. Yet when you run into Bob, he makes comments about intimate things in a way that violates your boundaries, which causes you to feel insecure or guilty during your chats with him. In these moments, he assumes the power and control. The cumulative result of all these short interactions over the past year is that Bob
y has you double-guessing yourself and wondering if you should mend fences, etc. This is just as Bob intended. You're being set-up. Don't fall for it.
Furthermore, if I read your post correctly... You only have Bob's word that Ted has stayed in better contact with Bob, rather than with you. This may not be true. Bob may be "playing up" the frequency and quality of his contact with Ted to make you feel jealous.
Now. Let's talk about Ted.
I'm not sure what his actual situation was/is with Bob and Carol, but I bet "messy" and convoluted" would be accurate descriptors. In any event, Ted broke up with you before he moved. It might be worth considering that Ted moved, in part, to get some distance between himself and the drama of "Bob, Carol, Ted and Alice." Especially if moving away coincided with other goals he was/is pursuing. Either way, Ted broke up with you. And he moved away. That's pretty final, right? Please accept this ending and look towards your own bright future.
I'm sad to tell you, but "staying in contact" with an ex usually doesn't always work out. Especially when folks have been sharing partners with each other. For now, Ted is in touch with you as much as he feels comfortable. Accept this as it is.
Somewhere down the road, you might bump into Ted. A renewed friendship might spring up between you, or it might not. Ted may remain friends with Bob into the future, or he might not.
What is clear is that you (a) pulled away from these folks last year for a reason, and (b) you are better off far far away from this drama. Fuck Bob and whatever Bob wants. Don't pine for Ted, he's not in the picture anymore in any real sense.
I think you should change your environment. I think you should move to a new neighborhood. Definitely get out more and hang out with new folks. Don't visit bars or restaurants where you might run into Bob or Carol. Join a hiking club, a cycling club - just do group activities where you are going to meet new people. Don't tell your new people about "Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice." See a therapist if you further need to discuss or understand these relationships and how they effected your life:)
Oh. And if you see Bob on the street... pretend to get a call on your cell phone, wave at him with a big smile on your face, and then

" Some people like to psychologically/emotionally involve a third party in their "thing." It has to do with exhibitionism, drama hunger, and who knows what else... you were set up as an audience, prop, and faux romantic nemesis because it made their relationship more exciting to them. They'll probably be bored silly without someone to play that role, or something similar, so they will acquire new ones as long as they last. Write them off and consider yourself well out of it and freshly educated... and as x46 mentions, don't be drawn in by future dramas. People like this will try to go back to past victims after the waters have settled a bit, and newer marks get wise and drop them.

So you made friends with swingers. You swung with them. And NOW you're skeeved out that they want to swing again?
Come on. If you are a big enough girl to hook up with a married man with his wife's blessing, then you are a big enough girl to say, "Bob, I cherish our friendship, but I'm not interested in a physical relationship with you. Can we just be friends?"

Givenchy Puts The Magic In The Marker
Despite promises of being "budge-proof" and "unmovable," it's safe to say that 99.9 percent of all mascaras will migrate. It's something you can count on—like gravity. Seeing as how nothing ruins an attempt at looking polished and put-together like a smear of errant makeup, we are constantly on the lookout for a solution to this problem. And while said solution eludes us in magic mascara wand form, Givenchy's recently released magic Marker has brought new hope with its arrival. The Mister Perfect Makeup Eraser Marker is a pocket-sized pen formulated with coconut-derived surfactants and smoothing fig extracts to pick up any mascara or eye shadow fallout, with none of the smudging that comes from trying to remove these particles with a heavy hand. Also exciting: The slim tube fits into the smallest of day clutches and does away with even stubborn waterproof formulas. It's perfect for mid-day do-overs, when smoky eyes become bedroom eyes (read: no longer appropriate for work). Keep it close at hand.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - Call them green jobs if you will. Whatever your label of choice may be, new jobs would work for sure if Aleris Recycling of Coldwater gets the go ahead from the Coldwater City Council. The Council is set to consider on Monday night a request from Aleris for the city to approve an industrial facilities tax abatement agreement. The Council would first need to set a public hearing on the Aleris tax abatement application. If the request is granted, Aleris would move ahead on a one-and-a-half million dollar investment on its Filmore Road facility.
The company says the project will allow it to be competitive in the industry and create an additional 18 jobs and potentially retain 24 positions over the next two years. The Council is expected to set a public hearing date of July 8th on the abatement application.

Julie Gayet Sues Over Hollande Mistress Claims
A French actress is taking legal action because of rumours that she is the mistress of her country's president.
Gayet is an established actress who has appeared in more than 50 films
Gallery: Paris Protest Against Gay MarriageEnlarge
French actress Julie Gayet has launched legal action over rumours on the internet that she is the mistress of President Francois Hollande, her lawyer has confirmed.
Judicial sources said Gayet, a 40-year-old who appeared in one of Mr Hollande's 2012 election commercials, has filed a complaint with Paris prosecutors relating to an alleged breach of her right to a private life.
The move came after she was reported or implied by various bloggers and websites to have become close to the president.
Mr Hollande, 58, lives with his partner Valerie Trierweiler, a glamorous journalist for whom he left fellow Socialist politician Segolene Royal, the mother of his four children.
His office refused to comment. In a statement, Gayet's lawyer Vincent Toledano said there was no basis to the rumours.
"The actress Julie Gayet has instructed my chambers to take legal action over the rumour, widely disseminated on the internet, suggesting, with no foundation, that she has a romantic relationship with the president of the republic," the statement said.
"She expects her right to a private family life to be respected as there is nothing to justify these claims."
Gayet is an established television and cinema character actress who has appeared in more than 50 films. She is the mother of two children.
She is due to appear as Helen of Troy in a forthcoming TV series called Odysseus.
In the campaign video she filmed for Mr Hollande, she described the then-candidate as "marvellous" but also "humble and a really good listener".
It was a performance that appears to have been sufficiently convincing to persuade some viewers that her praise was based on more than admiration for Mr Hollande's policies.
Gayet is also a strong backer of same-sex marriage, one of the president's key election pledges that he appears determined to implement despite stiff opposition from the Catholic Church and the mainstream centre-right opposition.
Mr Hollande had to brave a demonstration over the planned legalisation of same-sex marriage outside TV studios where he was giving a major television interview on Thursday.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Wednesday, June 22, 2011
Jaden is knee deep in paint, tiles and packing boxes today, so she asked us to step in and tell you guys about this amazing tomato and watermelon salad. Today, we are introducing Zov Karamardian from the internationally acclaimed restaurant Zov's. Jaden had the chance to meet Zov at IACP a couple of weeks ago and we could not be happier to share her recipe for this incredible salad. {Isn't it just beautiful and the perfect side for your next BBQ?} The recipe comes straight from her newest cookbook, Simply Zov, Rustic Classics with a Mediterranean Twist.
Founded in 1987 by Chef Zov Karamardian, Zov's Bistro & Bakery in Tustin, CA has become a culinary institution. Her cuisine blends contemporary with Eastern Mediterranean, a blend that is clear when flipping through her new cookbook, Simply Zov. Her approach is fresh and comes across easy, in a way that makes us feel we create her dishes just as she would in her restaurants. A few Adam and I have earmarked are her Parmesan Bruschetta, Tomato-Basil Risotto Fritters and of course that cover shot, a Greek Burger with Baby Arugula and Feta.

Tomato and Watermelon Salad with Feta Cheese
You will be surprised at how well watermelon and feta work together. Salty, sweet and refreshing, every bite bursts with flavor. This salad is truly a keeper, and an inventive way to make the most of summer produce. I love using heirloom tomatoes when I can find them. Serve with grilled fish or grilled steak.
Recipe from Simply Zov, Rustic Classics with a Mediterranean Twist by Zov Karamardian
Ingredients:Red Wine Vinaigrette
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oilSalad
1 small cucumber, peeled
1/2 small red onion
3 heirloom tomatoes (about 12 ounces total), cut into bite-size chunks
3 1/2 cups peeled seeded bite-size watermelon chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-size chunks
7 ounces French feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see note)
1 cup fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE: Whisk the vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in the oil to blend well. Set aside.
MAKE THE SALAD: Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then, using a spoon, scrape out the seeds. Cut the cucumber halves crosswise into thin half-moon slices. Using a mandoline, cut the onion into 1-inch-long paper-thin slices. Toss the sliced cucumber, onion, tomatoes, watermelon, bell pepper, cheese and mint in a large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Serve immediately.
Do-Ahead Tip: The vinaigrette can be made up to 1 week ahead. Store it in a tightly-sealed jar and refrigerate. Let the vinaigrette stand at room temperature until the olive oil liquefies, about 20 minutes, before shaking to blend.
Cooks Note: Feta is traditionally a Greek sheep's milk cheese, but I prefer the French variety for its mid and creamy taste. Always store tomatoes at room temperature; place them in a decorative basket in your kitchen. Refrigeration can make them pulpy and dull their flavor. Do not cut or slice the tomatoes too far ahead of time or they will oxidize and turn acidic.

Oh I love watermelon salad. I have one that I make with prosciutto. This looks amazing with tomatoes.
Such perfect timing…I've been wanting to find a watermelon salad to try. This looks great.
I keep telling myself I'm gonna make a watermelon salad, and then I eat all the watermelon!!! Well… it IS hot as heck down here isn't it? The salad sounds wonderful.
Congrats again on the new dwelling – try not to work too hard though!
Perfect summer salad. Though I must admit I am not a huge fan of onions
This would be a perfect salad for fourth of July! Both tomatoes and watermelon are so cool and refreshing, not to mention beautiful.
This is truly unusual, but I need to try it! I love the idea!
This sounds great!
I was just a a tea tasting at coffee bean and tea leaf and they paired tomatoes with one of their teas, it's amazing how tomatoes can change the flavor. I'm going to try this out this weekend after a trip to the farmer's market. Thanks!
This looks so yummy, I've got to try it.
I have always wanted to try a watermelon salad and for some reason haven't yet. This looks like the perfect recipe to try! Thanks for sharing!
Jaden- Come back soon, but I am so happy for you and your family! Your new farm looks amazing!
I live near Zov's and I will say from first hand experience, make the potato cakes. I think they are in the breakfast section of the cookbook, and oh my God are they good. I made them for Mother's Day as the base for smoked salmon benedicts. Zov really needs to put out a dessert cookbook, because the desserts at her restaurants are the real reason for going.
I've never heard of anything like this! I'll have to try this recipe!
This looks delicious!
One question, can we use Greek feta? I don't really know the difference between Greek and French feta.
This tomato & watermelon salad was a huge hit at my 4th of July BBQ. I will definitely make this one of my "must make" recipes during the summer months.

You completed a few good points there. I did a search
on the theme and found a good number of people will consent with your blog.
I will be making this for sure; love everything in it. However, when it comes to really good, soft, creamy, delicious feta, the best is Bulgarian! Even the Greeks prefer it. The brand I use is Vigo. The container looks Greek because of the blue brick brack at the top of the container but if you look at the back, it says product of Bulgaria. It is sitting in the brine so be careful when you open it….

Failed to mention "healthy" on purpose as the children will try this if they don't know that it's really a very heart healthy dish! I will be trying the cookbook! Mediterranian is the healthiest form of eating! It's true, Mediterranians live longer and have less heart disease of any culture.

I am a fitness gym dropout.
That's not easy to say when you live in South Florida, one of the most body-conscious places on the planet. But since I will celebrate turning 40-something soon, I thought this might be my time to put down the double-cheeseburgers and large fries and hit a gym again.
It's been more than a decade since I have seriously worked out. I wrestled for 1 1/2 years in high school (took off the last part of the second season to pursue other opportunities, like not working out). In my 20s, I joined and quit a couple of membership gyms. And in my 30s, I became a pretty serious jogger for a couple of years, running several miles a day.
And then I moved across the country, got married and had two children. Somewhere along the way, I lost my motivation to stay in shape.
Now I want my groove back. But there are several reasons why someone like me might be shy about working out.
1. It's hard.
2. It hurts.
3. It seems like everyone else in sun-drenched South Florida is already fit, preening in bikinis and man-thongs everywhere. Who wants to be the guy or gal standing next to them in a wall-to-wall mirrored gym who has to catch up?
Nonetheless, I faced my fears and hit a gym last week. And boy did it hit back.
I chose Orangetheory Fitness, a Fort Lauderdale franchise. The company has been blowing up in popularity since it opened its first group interval fitness studio in March 2010, and now has 50 studios in eight states. There are nine studios in South Florida, with more opening soon.
Orangetheory's claim to fitness fame is its use of heart-rate monitors during workouts. The monitors allow members (and trainers) to ensure their heart rates remain in "target zones" that are safe while still maximizing stimulation of your metabolism.
I told myself the cool thing about the monitor strapped to my chest underneath my shirt was that you'd get an indication that a heart attack is coming if you push too hard during the workout.
That's because your individual heart-rate percentage is splashed onto a flatscreen for everyone to see, including you and your group trainer. If you lag, your heart rate percentage will be low, if you push too hard, it will hit 85 percent or higher. The heart, as they say, does not lie.
That means you can't hide in the back of the group dodging the glare of your trainer. I tried, but any time my heart rate was too low or high, she was on me like peanuts on a Snickers bar. I love Snickers.
Orangetheory also claims you can lose up to 900 calories in a single session, and that your body will keep burning calories and fat for up to 36 hours after leaving the gym.
"It's like a two-for-one workout," said Manny Ceara, manager of the studio in Weston, where I ended up.
This is what happened:
1. It was hard.
2. It hurt.
3. I got in trouble. A lot.

More Competition For Fewer Students
By: Brian Kehrl
Published: 05/18/12
The changing demographics on Cape Cod present a challenge in planning for education needs, Cape Cod Collaborative Executive Director Paul Hilton told a group gathered Monday afternoon to discuss the future of education at the SmarterCape Summit.
After decades of exponential growth, the Cape's school population peaked in 1999 and has dropped 22 percent since, according to data presented by Mr. Hilton and gathered from US Census, county, and state sources.
In the late 1990s, when the school population was 36,000, districts were expecting the Cape's school population to grow 5 percent per year, he said.
But now, with 28,172 students, enrollment this year in public schools on Cape Cod has fallen to below 1988 levels.
Looking out to the future, based on projections from birth rates and preschool-age children, public school enrollment is expected to drop another 25 percent by the time today's babies are in high school, Mr. Hilton said.
The declining school enrollment is connected to larger demographic trends on the Cape, where population growth has leveled off or declined over the past decade, more senior citizens have moved in, and young families have moved out, he said. The median age for much of the outer Cape, for example, is older than 52, compared to 39 for the entire state.
Mr. Hilton said he has met with school administrators and school committee members from across the region to discuss what is happening with demographics and student population.
He offered little insight into how districts might respond to the change, but he emphasized that it creates tremendous challenges in planning for budgets and infrastructure. For example, he said districts are wondering whether to close buildings in response to the loss of students. But what if the trends reverse again, he said.
"We need to do some real planning regarding these impacts," he said.
At the same time as school enrollment has declined, public school districts have also begun to face more competition.
There are now 2,000 students enrolled in 15 private schools on the Cape, ranging in size from the Bayberry Christian Academy in Osterville, where just seven students are enrolled, to Cape Cod Academy, with 337 students.
Districts across the Cape have recently adopted school choice, allowing students to chose between towns and creating more competition among the public school systems themselves. Students leaving their home school districts under school choice have nearly tripled over the past decade, from 346 to 1,017.
Some districts have gained students from school choice, while others have lost hundreds. In Fiscal Year 2012 Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District, for example, saw 324 students leave under the program and only 78 come in, according to data presented by Mr. Hilton. Chatham, by contrast, saw 203 students come in and 72 leave.
Barnstable, Falmouth, and Sandwich all either gained a few students or came out a wash, according to Mr. Hilton. Mashpee lost two dozen students, and Bourne lost 10.
The two independent charter high schools in the region, Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School in Harwich and Sturgis Charter Public School in Hyannis, have also created a new form of competition for the public school districts. Both are in the process of completing significant expansions.
Barnstable, D-Y, and Sandwich all saw more than 100 students leave for charter schools.
While Mr. Hilton offered little commentary on how districts should respond to the changes, a concept paper prepared for the summit emphasized the importance of maintaining quality public schools in attracting a skilled workforce.
"If we don't start changing the Cape's demographic trends, we will not be able to encourage additional investment in educational resources/institutions/assets at K-12 or higher education, in order to make the Cape an Educational Destination. We believe that the local business community, local government entities, and local educational institutions need to come together to begin to collaboratively recruit working age families (with children) to come live on Cape Cod," according to the draft concept paper.
The document, which was prepared over the past year by a group first formed at the 2011 SmarterCape Summit, also recommended extending hours at schools and community centers to allow access to digital technology and pursuing "smarter education" models that can break down geographic barriers.

i have always wanted a food processor. i mean a real one. life would be so much easier.
I have a very old (> 20 yrs), generic brand food processor that doesn't function well. I keep threatening to donate it, but occasionally I need it. It would be marvelous to replace it with this one. Really, really marvelous.
oh, PLEASE! i'm a poor college student and can't afford a food processor, and it would give me so much more cooking freedom (and save me a lot of time)!
I think this is the best thing yet.
need one.
I love my 3 cup food processor but can't always fit the recipes I want to make into it. This would be an awesome addition to my home and would just be a lot of fun!
To be honest, this would expand my cooking skills. I have tried slowly to expand my cooking skills, buying new knives and new cook boos now and then. But this would open a new door in the vast world of cooking!
great combo!
Oh Williams-Sonoma, how I love thee!
Oh man! That is a very nice processor.
yes please!
Williams-Santa Baby-Sonoma! Yesssssssssssssss, please!
So far, loved to cook, but if I would not come out of the kitchen!
I know the most deserving baker for this gift!
I've never ever owned a food processor and I think it's about time I did!!!
Food Processor + Cookbook = more dinners, desserts, appetizers, etc = very happy husband :) Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway!
I could surely use a new food processor and I love the idea of the WS Cookbook. I would so love to win this wonderful gift.
Oh yes! and Please!!!
My food processor was purchased at a flea market years ago for $25.00 A Cuisinart 11 cup. I can't afford to replace the bowl so I have to do all kinds of gymnastics to get it to turn on! This would be a catch for sure!
Want? Need! My old food process is a "mini" --- so restrictive!
I don't have a food processor so I do "old-school" chopping, dicing and shredding. I would love this since I prepare food for 6 family members.
OMG! want!
Mm! it would make my life yummyliously easy :-)!!
sigh... so many of your give a ways are things I dream of :o) I would love to have the colorful chandelier spinning on the turntable, supported by the food processor, wrapped in the bedding in a bundle I could carry while using the vacuum while being video'd by the computer camera ;o)
this is fantastico!
This would be so good. I have a 6 month old baby and would be great for making her food. Also I have a husband and a 3 year old and we all love to eat healthy and at home, this would be paradise.
I haven't had a food processor in 25 years! Never let your friends "borrow" your treasures.
Oh my.
so so need
So long Pesto in the blender!!
Love it, need it and want it!
This would be great to use to whip up my Breakfast Strata on Christmas morning!
I could really use this!
forever on my wish list and never gets to my kitchen!
This is so great!
Oh wow! This would be amazing for so many foods!
Oooh I have been wanting one of these! I always find myself in need of one!
A good quality food processor has been on my every Christmas and Birthday list for years. If I could pick just one thing out of all the giveaways, this would be it. I cold cook up some mean meals for family and friends to enjoy.
Thanks for listing the giveaways!
Need this as my husband just broke ours. If you have to turn it HARD, it's not right Honey.
holy canoli!!!! I really really want this. Our cheap food processor of 7 years died this last week, and we are totally completely not in a place to buy a new one- yet we are left with the void. I couldn't think of any other give-away that we could use more. Please oh Please, be my lucky day :)
Apartment Therapy has the BEST prizes! I would love to win this food processor and cook book.
Thank-you for offering another great gift, Santa... I mean Apartment Therapy.
Oh my gosh, my food processor just bit the dust RIGHT before the holiday baking no less!
This would be an amazing addition to manage prepping meals in my teensy kitchen!! We don't have one and would love to surprise my boyfriend who does the majority of the cooking. Happy Holidays from LA!
My hand-me-down from my mom 1980's Cuisinart DLC-7 just recently broke, so this would be a wonderful replacement for the new year.
this would be amazing!!
This would be a dream to win! Ann
All I want for Christmas...
I would soooo love this!
I need this, mine gave up and I have Christmas to make merry with goodies to bake!
I hope I win. I want to give this to my sister for Christmas. She would love it!!!!!
I'd love to replace the tiny one I took from my parents years ago!
For single girls who live alone and must make dinner for one, anything to make the process smoother and simpler, yet allowing for more versatile end results is always exciting. This food processor would be like a beacon of shining culinary light in my studio apartment's kitchen.
Yes please!
oooooohhhhh, i'm drooling.
finally something to make my hummus the perfect texture!
I will soon be making my own baby food. This giveaway would not only aid in that, but would be nice for feeding the bigger humans in my home, too!
Ohhh please!!!
The foodie in my family would be overwhelmed.
I'm (hopefully) taking my first cooking class in early Jan. I think a food processor would help a lot while I learn and try out recipes and practice!
Kitchn is the best!
Thanks :)
Oh yes, yes, yes!
Please, please me! My old one just died!
My old food processor needs to be replaced...
congratulations, jen!

Leaders of the Utah Legislature have clamped down this session on any discussion of same-sex marriage or other matters involving the rights and treatment of gay and lesbian people.
They reasonably fear that anything said in the inevitably contentious debates could be read as expressing the state's hostility — "animus" in lawyer-speak — toward homosexuals. And that would seriously undermine the chances of getting the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the state's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
But there remains plenty of animus on Utah's Capitol Hill. And, perhaps because it can't be openly aimed at the state's LGBT population, some our top elected officials have had to find other, weaker, targets for their malice.
The favored victims picked out the other day by the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives are Utah's working poor and their families. As well as all of the state's taxpayers, health care providers, local governments, schools and every Utahn with a conscience.
In their blind frenzy to separate themselves and their state from the federal Affordable Care Act, from President Obama and from every attempt to push, pull and shove the United States into the ranks of civilized nations — i.e., those with affordable health care a universal standard — House Speaker Becky Lockhart and her allies have come up with a disgraceful scheme to run away from the expansion of Medicaid that was included in the ACA.
Rather than accept federal Medicaid funds, House Republicans would substitute a paper-thin plan to scrape up maybe $35 million in state money to buy insurance or otherwise provide care for a small sliver of the families who would be missed by a Utah refusal to expand Medicaid coverage.
Not only would that approach leave tens of thousands of Utahns without coverage, it would also leave on the table some $524 million in federal money that otherwise would have been provided to cover our friends and neighbors.
For Lockhart to characterize the House plan as fiscally responsible, as she does, would be laughable if it weren't so clearly tragic to those left without coverage. And such a penalty to the whole of the state's taxpayers.
Gov. Gary Herbert, with gentlemanly understatement, dismissed the House plan as "illogical." So there's hope.
It is now up to Herbert, his experts and other reasonable people to use cool logic and warm compassion — not hot venom — and come up with the best plan for stretching available federal dollars to do the most good for Utah's vulnerable families.

What happens if I miss a dose (Visudyne)?
Since verteporfin is given by a healthcare professional only in preparation for laser light treatment, you will not be on a dosing schedule.
What happens if I overdose (Visudyne)?
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have received too much of this medicine.
Overdose symptoms may include severely decreased vision.
What should I avoid after I receive verteporfin (Visudyne)?
Verteporfin will make your eyes and your skin more sensitive to light. Natural sunlight and bright indoor light can expose you to harmful UV rays, which may cause severe sunburn or damage to your vision.
Avoid exposure to sunlight, tanning beds, bright halogen lights, or other bright lighting for at least 5 days after you are treated with verteporfin.
To avoid exposing your skin to sunlight, keep all parts of your skin covered with clothing. Sunscreen will not be effective in protecting you from UV rays during the 5-day period after you have received verteporfin.
Verteporfin can cause side effects that may impair your vision. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be able to see clearly.
What other drugs will affect verteporfin (Visudyne)?
The following drugs can interact with verteporfin. Tell your doctor if you are using any of these:
- dimethyl sulfoxide (Rimso-50);
- griseofulvin (Fulvicin, Grisactin);
- polymyxin B (Polytrim, AK-Poly-Bac, Ocumycin, Polysporin Ophthalmic, Polytracin Ophthalmic);
- diabetes medications you take by mouth;
- birth control pills;
- a diuretic (water pill);

- medication used to prevent blood clots, such as alteplase (Activase), anistreplase (Eminase), clopidogrel (Plavix), dipyridamole (Persantine), streptokinase (Kabikinase, Streptase), ticlopidine (Ticlid), and urokinase (Abbokinase);
- medicine to treat mental illness, such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), fluphenazine (Prolixin), mesoridazine (Serentil), perphenazine (Trilafon), prochlorperazine (Compazine), thioridazine (Mellaril), or trifluperazine (Stelazine);
- an antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro), ofloxacin (Floxin), norfloxacin (Noroxin), levofloxacin (Levaquin), lomefloxacin (Maxaquin), and others;
- a tetracycline antibiotic such as demeclocycline (Declomycin), doxycycline (Adoxa, Doryx, Oracea, Vibramycin), minocycline (Dynacin, Minocin, Solodyn, Vectrin), or tetracycline (Brodspec, Panmycin, Sumycin, Tetracap); or
- a calcium channel blocker such as amlodipine (Norvasc), diltiazem (Tiazac, Cartia, Cardizem), nifedipine (Procardia, Adalat), verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan), and others.
This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with verteporfin. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your doctor or pharmacist can provide more information about verteporfin.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

Breakfast in Bed: Menu Recommendations?
For all that it's touted as the height of snuggly luxury, we recently realized that we have never actually made or been served breakfast in bed. We'd like to give it a try, but it seems like it could end up being a lot messier and less relaxing than anticipated. Have you ever had breakfast in bed?
We can't help but think we'd end up spilling coffee or scattering muffin crumbs all over the sheets - even if we had a sturdy breakfast tray across our laps!
We're guessing it might be best to stick with less-messy dishes like these:
• Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole
• Parsley and Garlic Frittata
• Quick Cinnamon Rolls
• Lemon and Honey Fruit Salad
• Orange Smoothie
• Broiled Grapefruit
If you're a fan of breakfast in bed, what do you recommend serving?

Lovely breakfast ideas - including Grand Marnier French toast -- over at http://www.SustainableSuppers.com
The French toast recipe is here:
Oh, and I think any breakfast-in-bed menu should include a massage! ;)
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to be served breakfast in bed. However, until my DD learns to sleep past 6:30a this will only be a thing of my dreams. Although, she and I both adore french toast and will be making it tomorrow morning!
I have only been *served* breakfast in bed once, but that doesn't stop me from frequently enjoying breakfast in bed! It's really not that dangerous if you utilize the nightstand or dresser for your coffee and other easily tipped items.
I have always found that taking the time to make breakfast in bed for someone just takes so long and is so noisy in a tiny appartment that it wakes the other person up! So I reccomend having something ready - programming the coffeemaker to go off in the morning and having some kind of casserole/fruit/pastry at the ready for a quick setup. I have to say this is only an idea, since I've never carried it off, but I am planning to try it since I know the other way is too much for me.
As a child, I remember my brother bringing my mom Cheerios in bed for Mother's Day. And I remember the next year he was redirected to setting the table for breakfast (which he did with every dish in the cupboard).
What I'd really want for a genuinely relaxing breakfast would have to include an entire pot of coffee in a French press, a nice slice of frittata or the like, fruit, and pastries. Somehow the idea of consuming this in my bed is uncomfortable. A giant upholstered wing chair, overpriced bathrobe, and cashmere throw? Yes! Too bad I own none of these items!
I'm so anal that even if my hubby wanted to serve me breakfast in bed, it wouldn't work. For one, I am up way before dawn 7 days a week for 98% of the time to get a workout in before the craziness of the day sets in. On those rare 2% days that I do sleep in until, dare I say it, 6am or 6:30, I still have to shower before I can sit down to eat anything. And yet, I love to camp-go figure.
Hm, there's a ham, egg and cheese thingy my Mom made for Christmas. It's scrambled eggs, chopped ham and cheese wrapped in one of those storebought cresent roll dough that's been cut and folded over the top like a braid. You do the eggs and such the night before and then bake it in the morning. That might work.
Personally, I prefer breakfast at the table and then getting back in bed after to read or cuddle or whatever.
Oh, that reminds me to make the sticky buns tonight so I can just proof and toss them into the oven tomorrow morning!
A fried egg with a little maldon, a small stack of granola pancakes topped with yogurt and some warm maple syrup, A citrus salad (blood oranges, clementines, pomelo, grapefruit and a drop of orange blossom water) with fresh roasted coffee and some good music
Just had breakfast in bed this morning! Because I stayed home sick today. :( Scrambled eggs with a spoon, made by my dear partner before she ran off to work. I don't think that's the menu you were looking for!
One of my favourite things to do when I was a single person was to make a pot of earl grey tea and buttered toast with raspberry jam and take it back to bed to eat while I read a good book. I look forward to having a grown family so that I can fall back into m slovenly ways.
Except in cases of illness--when I might make my tea and toast and take it back to bed--I haven't had breakfast in bed for years.
But one of my best memories is the time my mom made apple muffins in honor of the first Saturday after the end of marching band competition season (meaning, the first Saturday in 10 weeks my sister and I hadn't had to be on a bus by 7 a.m.) and served us both breakfast in bed. It felt so luxurious and made me feel so loved.
I created this breakfast in bed recipe with the comfy romantic in mind. Eggs al Forno is a simple baked egg dish that's made great by using amazing bread and a good Italian cheese.
fruit and croissants - not too messy
and english breakfast tea.
served on a lovely tray. ahhh, the BEST.
Ugh, the idea of breakfast in bed is unappealing the me. Crumbs plus my snuggly, warm blankets? No thank you! Dessert in bed is good- chocolates, ice cream, bring it on! But breakfast isn't complete without some good toast and I do not want to lay my head down on toast shards later that night.
Breakfast in bed on your birthday is tradition in my family. The breakfast itself is usually some sort of pastry with a candle stuck in it, coffee and/or juice, but is sometimes something slightly more ambitious like an omelet or french toast. It's a great way to wake up- to the rest of the family singing happy birthday, the candle light, the food, and the presents!

As a graduate of Oklahoma State University's Sports Media program, I have spent the previous three years as a student and a journalist. In a short time, I've learned that a good reporter never rests. I know the same is true for a good student, and I will never separate the two.
I've been privileged to cover some incredible moments as a sports writer for The Daily O'Collegian at Oklahoma State. It's been a blast.
I want to uncover and relate every story fairly and accurately and build a career on solid, keen writing. And I'm not afraid to get a little goofy.
I'm confident that I have been properly trained for the workforce, and I will happily pursue the opportunity to be a journalist wherever and however it arises.
My primary interest is in print media. I would also like to work in radio; I have experience as a play-by-play announcer for high school football and can also voice sportscasts or news casts.
If you'd like to reach me, please email or call me and I'll respond as soon as possible.
