Kitchen Tour: Ariana's Charming Bavarian Kitchen
Ariana is a long-time Kitchn reader who shared her sweet Portland kitchen with us in last year's Small Cool Kitchens contest. Since then, however, she has moved with her husband and daughter to a 300-year-old rental home in Bavaria, Germany. Here's a peek into her charming German kitchen!
Ariana says that when they moved to Germany from Portland they sold or gave away almost everything, and they set up the new kitchen through antique stores and local flea markets. They are renters, so they haven't changed major fixtures or the appliances or countertops. But Ariana says that they have added their own personal style and functional touches.
You can see Ariana's previous kitchen in Portland here, too:
• Ariana's Cheerful, Colorful Portland Kitchen
10 Questions for Ariana (and Her Kitchen)
1. What inspires your kitchen and your cooking?
I feel really inspired by our location! I am living in a home that is 300 years old, in an adorable town in Bavaria. We are surrounded by farms and forests, and have amazing access to all kinds of fresh, local foods all year. I cook differently here than I did in Portland, because I am in a completely different place!
2. What was the biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen?
When we moved, we got rid of virtually everything. All but about ten items in our kitchen are newly acquired. Our biggest splurge was probably dishes and glasses from Zara Home. We really haven't indulged in much, but I am extremely happy to have that baker's cabinet — we got it really cheap locally. Although inexpensive, it certainly feels very indulgent to be able to shop at local flea markets here for the majority of our home purchases!
3. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
Actually, I am not really thrilled with the color we painted it. The walls were in terrible shape, and even though the paint was turning out WAY brighter than I had wanted, I went ahead and finished the room just so it would look clean, finally. It's possible that we'll try again soon, but we have a lot of other rooms in the home to address before we get back around to the kitchen again.
4. Is there anything you hope to add or improve in your kitchen?
Depending on how long we stay here, I'd like to change out the cabinet hardware and the faucet. I'm thinking about taking some doors off of the cabinets for a more open feel. If I wasn't renting, I would change the counter tops right away, since they are kind of textured and hold onto every little thing-- I would go for more traditional choices, more natural wood.
5. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
I don't think I could live without an immersion blender. I use it at least 3 to 4 times a week. All of the windows in the kitchen make me very, very happy. I like to just hang out in there.
6. What is the biggest challenge of cooking in your kitchen?
My previous kitchen was very challenging in terms of size and counter space, so I don't really have many complaints here. Our fridge is tiny, so I don't keep more than a day or two's worth of food on hand. Our oven is also very small, with only one rack. We haven't thrown any parties, but I expect that when the time comes, it will be pretty tricky.
7. How would you describe your cooking style?
Ingredient-based. I basically shop every other day, and see what's fresh and available, then create a meal around that. My family is on an anti-inflammatory diet, which means we mostly eat fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, nuts and seeds. It's actually pretty simple to cook this way, and we have never enjoyed our food more!
8. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
Well, we have only been here for four months, and have only had dinner guests twice so there aren't too many. But one of our favorite meals is a venison roast, cauliflower puree, and roasted Brussels sprouts.
9. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received?
Always use the freshest, highest-quality ingredients possible!
10. What are you cooking this week?
I picked up a venison roast this morning at the open market, so I'm definitely looking forward to that! I'll also be making chicken stock for soups, and we usually have one meal a week of bratwurst and spiced sauerkraut.

This is an adorable little - is it too cliche to say gingerbread? - kitchen! I just want to eat it. It has a nice old-fashioned feeling with the wooden countertops and all the fresh produce everywhere. Even the fridge is cute!
I agree that the bright robin's-egg-blue isn't the best complement to that red-and-white floor, but it's a nice peppy color anyway.
You'd never know that you've only been here four months, or that you were starting almost from scratch with your kitchen stuff! This looks great. Keep it up, and send more pictures when you repaint! :)
I want the marmalade poster.
It's a sweet space. I do wonder how long this has been sitting in the posting queue...when you visit Ariana's blog they no longer live in the house this kitchen is part of.
@melic, yes they just moved out this past week. So it's a little memento of the kitchen! :)
Charming. I love the bright colors and old-fashioned feel.
This is my favorite kitchen tour so far! I love the bright blue, red, white combination - and everything else!! If they just moved out, can I move in? :)
Love it, but my eyes hurt now!
Is that a "lemon slice" tree? Are my eyes deceiving me?
Hi everyone, thanks for the nice comments, and sorry for the super bright colors!
Melic-- yes, we just left this cool apartment a few days ago... It's nice to see it on AT, all the same.
Sarah-Marie-- that is a tangerine tree with orange slices hung as Christmas decorations.
Ariana, where did you get the Marmalade poster? The poem is so cute!
Veggiemar-- I found this poster in a little antique shop a few doors down, for very cheap, of course!
I gave a little translation here: http://and-here-we-are.blogspot.com/2010/11/come-into-my-kitchen.html
I love the radio! Please tell me what kind it is. Thanks!
Orchidophile-- I'm sorry, but I can't remember the brand! It was a German one, and was fairly inexpensive. If you live in Europe, you might be able to find it just looking at your average electronics store. Sorry I can't be more helpful/ specific!
No problem. It is a lovely kitchen. Thanks for sharing.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (Nov. 16, 2009) – Legendary trainer Bobby Frankel passed away early Monday morning at his home in Pacific Palisades after a battle with lymphoma.
Frankel, a 68-year-old native of Brooklyn, N.Y., was know as "King of the Claimers" early in his career and as a world-class conditioner in the last two decades as he developed many of the game's biggest stars.
The winner of 30 training titles, he is the all-time leader with 952 wins at Hollywood Park and with 917 victories at Santa Anita Park. The Hall of Fame member sent out the winners of 3,654 races and $227,947,775 in purses, second only to D. Wayne Lukas.
Frankel won most of the nation's major events, including six Breeders' Cup races and the 2003 Belmont Stakes with Empire Maker. He saddled the winners of 28 races worth $1 million or more, the latest coming with Ventura in the Woodbine Mile and Champs Elysees in the Canadian International, also at Woodbine.
His final victory at Hollywood Park came with Midships in the 2009 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap. A year earlier, he won his third Hollywood Gold Cup with Mast Track, a horse he bred and owned.
As was the case with many of his horses, Midships and Mast Track were saddled by his California assistant Humberto Ascanio, who was with Frankel more than 30 years. He oversaw Frankel's Hollywood Park contingent much of the time in recent years as the trainer spent time in New York and later at home as he battled his illness.
Frankel's first Gold Cup win came in 1991 when Marquetry paid a record $56.80. His second came with Aptitude in 2001 through the disqualification of Futural. Laffit Pincay Jr, who had not ridden much for Frankel in recent years, was up.
"This is very bad news for racing," Pincay said. "He is one of the greatest. I put him up there with Charlie Whittingham. He showed it with claimers and stakes horses. I appreciate everything he did for me. He put me on special horses, we won a lot of races together.
"He was really happy that day," Pincay said of the Gold Cup. "He was reminiscing about the old times. It was a lot of fun."
Eddie Delahoussaye, a Hall of Fame member along with Pincay and Frankel, was saddened by the trainer's passing.
"Bobby was a great guy," Delahoussaye said. "He did a lot of things behind the scenes that people don't know. He was very generous, very good to his help. He was great to ride for. He never told you how to ride. He had confidence in you. When he gave you a leg up, he felt you should know your business.
"He was a great handicapper. He knew where to put his horses. He wasn't a good people person when he was plying his trade. If you didn't know him, he could be a jerk. You had to know him off the track. He was very gracious, but he wouldn't let everybody know that.
"On the track he was tough. He wanted to achieve his goals. Whatever it took, he was gonna do it. He had a lot of claiming horses and when Juddmonte came along and he got better quality stock, it gave him an opportunity to show what he could really do. People used to say he couldn't train 2-year-olds, but he could train anything."
Trainer Julio Canani, a longtime friend, introduced Frankel when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1995.
"This man was unbelievable," he said. "He had a heart as big as they get. A good man. Very good to his help. No one left. We were very good friends. He changed the game when he came here from New York. He'd claim a horse for $20,000 and run him for $8,000. He had everyone confused. They didn't know what he was doing."
Frankel developed ten champions, accounting for 11 titles. He trained Ghostzapper, who clinched Horse of the Year honors with an authoritative win in the 2004 Breeders' Cup Classic at Lone Star Park.
Known as a superior trainer of turf horses, his champions also included four Eclipse Award winners as Female Turf Horse — Possibly Perfect (1995), Wandesta (1996), Ryafan (1997) and Intercontinental (2005). He also trained 2005 Male Turf Horse Leroidesanimaux.
His most productive year came in 2003 when he broke the national earnings and Grade I stakes win records held by D. Wayne Lukas; bettered the world mark of 23 Grade/Group I victories set by Ireland's Aidan O'Brien in 2002; surpassed Whittingham for most victories at Hollywood Park, and won his fourth straight and fifth Eclipse Award overall.
Frankel finished the year with earnings of $19.1 million, passing Lukas' 1988 mark of $17.8 million on Oct. 31 when Golden Rahy won a $48,000 allowance race at Santa Anita. He completed the year with 25 Grade I victories, topping O'Brien when Continuously won the $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup on Nov. 23 at Hollywood Park. He broke Lukas' 1987 North American record of 22 Grade I wins when Sightseek won the Oct. 5 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park. His final Grade I victory that year came at Hollywood Park on Nov. 30 with Heat Haze, his fifth Matriarch winner in seven years.
Frankel is survived by his daughter, Bethenny. Services will be held Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Hillside Memorial, 6001 Centinela Avenue in Los Angeles.

Get your bake on w/ Dorie!
Dorie in da house!
Got Dorie?
(I will think of more later)
Hey Girls and Guys~
I have the ball rolling on a header and avatar for us. But, I am drawing a blank on a slogan. I figure 90 people can surely come up with something together!
Give me your suggestions for a slogan for TWD. Also, if you have any brilliant ideas for the header/avatar, let those fly as well.
I wanna hear what yall think!
Doing it Dorie-style?
Maybe not…
I'll keep thinking.
Tuesday's with Dorie.
-Bringing baking back
-Baked fresh weekly
-Fresh from the computer
-Making Tuesday's tasty
That's all I got right now…
Do you have a little dorie in your week?
LOL @ Lemontartlet! Girl, you crack me up.
Okay, gals. I'm new at this, so….
What about something like–
"Because Tuesdays are better with butter."
I don't know….
How about:
-Rise to the challenge
-Mixing it all up
-Getting groovy with Greenspan
-This ain't your mama's cookbook
-Rise up and bake!
hahah! Tastier than the other Greenspan!!
Dorie Tuesdays
Tuesdays With Dorie
Because dessert begins with D.
I love the "TWD : Because Y'all Ain't Got Enough To Do This Week" slogan. No ideas to share there.
I did however make a small icon for my sidebar, nothing too thrilling, but anyones welcome to use it if they want:
What about…
"Tuesdays With Dorie – From Her Home to Ours"
OK, so I haven't joined the group yet, I'm waiting for the book to be delivered from Amazon and I can't wait! From what I've seen here today you seem like a real cool bunch of people! Again, I cannot wait to get my hands on that book!
LOL at "TWD : Because Y'all Ain't Got Enough To Do This Week." :)

Description: This knife is a collaboration between Bhaki Sa and Journeyman Smith David Lisch. Bhakti has been apprenticing under David Lisch and it is clear he has been working hard. His understanding of chef's knives is exceptional. Over the last year, David has been focusing increasingly more attention on chef's knives and he is clearly becoming a maker to watch in this area. As well as being a bladesmith, David is a renowned blacksmith, and teacher of knifemaking at the Studio 4 school, which he runs. David's control over damascus, as shown in this dramatic chef's knife, is amazing. His control and skill produces patterns that are uncompromisingly clean and controlled. Because David and Bhakti collaborated on this knife, the knife is marked with both of their maker's marks. It is the only knife they plan to mark in this way.
David created the complex damascus and forged the blade to shape. The blade and bolster are all made from one solid piece of his feather pattern damascus. Though integral knives are regularly done in production work, creating an integral bolster in a custom setting is extremely difficult and shows the maker's skill at its best. By using three different carbon steels, David has ensured a subtle complexity to the steel that is immediately captivating. The blade was ground and completed by Bhakti.Bhakti Sa formed the elegantly contoured handle from spalted maple. The workmanship is beautiful, and the wood chosen is gorgeous! Black spalting lines travel across the swirlingfigure.Contours ensure a comfortable and safe grip. Alternating silicon bronze and black G10 spacers set between the handle and integral bolster assist the wood to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. By using stabilized woods, Lisch and Sa ensure the knife will hold up well to the high demands of either a professional or home kitchen.
A gorgeous piece built for serious use, yet one of the more dramatic kitchen knives that I have come across.

LOVE these !
I have been wearing Crocs for quite some time. I am a health care provider on my feet for 12-13 hours at a pop. My go to Crocs were the Specialist but I was looking SPECIFICALLY for an outrageous color to make a statement. Enter the bright orange Bistros. They seem to basically the same as the specialist. I have flat feet and wear them barefoot. They are VERY comfortable to me this way and once they warm to body temperature, they mold to my feet and are quite amazing. The only one criticism I have is there are no ventilation holes in this particular model. The Bistros ARE available in the vented version but I wanted the orange so I compromised. From a cost, comfort, cleanability, perspective yuou cannot beat these.

Major Disappointment
I order a pair of Crocs based on the great reviews for this product and found all the good things said not to be true. The Crocs ordered were the Bistro Mario Batali edition. The left shoe ran shorter than the right; there was no way the shoes could be worn; it's strap ran short, pushing the foot forward even more. The right shoe was loose overall. Since there are no Croc dealers in my area, the return postage was pricey.

Greatest Kitchen Shoe Ever!
My husband has a wider foot and these shoes are spectacular for him. He is completely comfortable wearing these to stand in all day, in the kitchen. His back didn't bother him after wearing them all day. From a purchaser standpoint, the sale was handled impeccably. I ordered them for hubby for Christmas and even though I had mistakenly chosen ground shipping, which might not have been delivered by Christmas, I received an e-mail from Crocs telling me that they would work extra hard to have them delivered by Christmas. This was without even an inquiry from me. Then I received another e-mail telling me I should receive them on Christmas Eve, and I did! I wasn't sure this would happen, but I was happily surprised.

State Improves Ability to Evaluate Early Learning Programs
State child development officials use the information to judge the effectiveness of early learning programs and modify them
A large eastern state improved its ability to evaluate the effectiveness of early learning programs by collecting, sharing and analyzing a wide range of data associated with children enrolled in the programs. The state's child development office created an information network that delivers a broad view of the information used to track/monitor the children, families and teachers involved in the programs, as well as the outcomes these programs produce. State child development officials use the information to judge the effectiveness of early learning programs and modify them as necessary.
The state views quality early learning programs as a cornerstone of its efforts to build a skilled work force and maintain a strong tax base. Therefore, its child development office operates a range of early learning programs -- such as quality child care, Head Start and early intervention initiatives -- aimed at improving the success of pre-school and school-age children.
To evaluate the performance of these efforts, state officials wanted to develop a process/method to access/view/review information that endeavors to provide a full picture of the children they are supporting and the outcomes they are achieving. Among the data needed were:
This data would be analyzed to determine which programs are delivering the best results, and those determinations would guide policy and funding decisions. But the information needed for this type of analysis existed in separate programs scattered across state bureaus and systems.
The state worked with Deloitte to create an information network that pulls data from multiple sources across the state's welfare and education departments. Deloitte designed the network using a services oriented architecture (SOA) approach that let the new solution tap into existing information systems, while minimizing the impact on those systems and their users. In addition, the approach helped to reduce duplicate data entry and maximized the amount of information available for evaluation.
Unique identifiers are assigned to children and educators, so participants' progress can be tracked across multiple early education programs and grade levels. The system also pulls the information into a data warehouse for in-depth research and analysis. The state anticipates the following benefits:
Data currently is available for more than 50,000 children. That number will grow to approximately 250,000 as more programs are added to the network.
This project involved sharing information across government boundaries and using that data to measure the effectiveness of multiple early learning programs. The unique and comprehensive nature of the initiative produced the following insights:

WIP Wednesday #27
New projects:
One more scrappy placemat
Remember my rainbow placemats for the Make Mine Modern swap? Well, my swap partner Kelly must really like them, because she "commissioned" me to make another one for her in exchange for some Heather Ross Munki scraps. The new placemat will be purple and pink.
Since I'm making one more, I thought I'd put together a tutorial, if there's interest. Anybody want a tute on this? It's a fantastic scrap project! For the prints, the biggest piece I used was 2.5" square, so it's a good way to use up your tinies.
Ongoing projects:
Modern Meadow baby quiltStill being bound. This quilt is clinging to its WIP status for dear life, apparently.
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley (the original Supernova)
On hold:
Central Park jelly roll quilt
That Girl quilt-along
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 1
Completed projects - 1 (Supernova)
Currently in progress - 9 (same as last week)
You guys know what to do: 1) Please link to a post from the past week containing a work in progress. Yep, I'm the weirdo who doesn't want a linky full of finishes. : ) It's okay if your post contains finishes, but it must also contain at least one unfinished item. 2) Please link back to my blog in your post. 3) Comment on some of the other links. 4) Enjoy!

Whether it's for closing your next big sale or just shopping a big sale, your home computer is the heart of your home office. You'll need a window treatment that can prevent reflections, glare and shadows from making it impossible to see what's on your computer screen. Here are some ideas for getting the right office window treatments.
Look for window treatments that offer flexible light control solutions - wood blinds and shutters are a great choice since the horizontal louvers can be positioned to let in as much or as little light as you need. Light filtering cellular shades or solar screens will softly and evenly filter light to cut glare and heat gain from direct sunlight.
As with any room in your home, you should consider the aesthetic of your office when choosing a window treatment. Choose a shade that is conducive to your work environment. While a wood product is a popular choice for home offices, a fabric treatment can soften the mood and a solar screen can help open up the space.

Lactose tolerance tests measure the ability of your intestines to break down lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy products.
See also: Lactose intolerance
Hydrogen breath test for lactose tolerance
Two common methods include:
The hydrogen breath test is the preferred method. It measures the amount of hydrogen in the air you breathe out.
You will be asked to breathe into a balloon-type container. Then, you will be asked to drink a flavored liquid containing lactose. Samples of your breath are collected at set time periods and the hydrogen level is checked. Normally, very little hydrogen is in your breath. But if your body has trouble breaking down and absorbing lactose, breath hydrogen levels increase.
The lactose tolerance blood test looks for glucose in your blood. Your body creates glucose when lactose breaks down. For this test, several blood samples will be taken before and after you drink the lactose solution described above. For information on how a blood sample is obtained, see venipuncture
You should not eat for 8 hours before the test. Avoid strenuous exercise for 8 hours before the test.
There should not be any pain or discomfort when giving a breath sample.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Your doctor may order these tests if you have signs of lactose intolerance.
The breath test is considered normal if the increase in hydrogen is less than 12 parts per million over your fasting (pre-test) level.
The blood test is considered normal if your glucose level rises more than 30 mg/dL within 2 hours of drinking the lactose solution. A rise of 20-30 mg/dL is inconclusive.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Abnormal results may be a sign of lactose intolerance.
A breath test result that shows a rise in hydrogen content of 12 parts per million (ppm) over your pre-test level is considered positive, and means you may have trouble breaking down lactose.
The blood test is considered abnormal if your glucose level rises less than 20 mg/dL within 2 hours of drinking the lactose solution.
An abnormal test should be followed by a glucose tolerance test
to rule out a problem with the body's ability to absorb glucose.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

The following is a song familiar to us all and the words are not sometime what we sing and never complete the full song. Auld Lang Syne is a song by Robert Burns, similar to a poem by Robert Ayton. Both are based on old folk songs that probably inspired the both. The song is sung at the strike of midnight on New Year's Day. The title refers to 'old long since', 'long ago' or 'days gone by'.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.
We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a right good willie-waught,
For auld lang syne.

Luke, Chapter Two
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

Why do we sing Christmas Carols and go Caroling? Carols were first sung in Europe thousands of years ago, but they were not Christmas Carols. They were pagan songs, sung at the Winter Solstice celebrations as people danced around stone circles.

December 9, 1907, the first Red Cross Christmas seals were sold for a campaign against tuberculosis, raising $135,000. In the early 20th century, tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the United States. Doctors were seeing the first signs of success treating the disease in special hospitals call sanitoriums and one of these facilities had fallen on bad luck. The tiny Delaware sanitorium would have to close its doors if $300 could not be raised to save it. One of the doctors explained his plight to his cousin, a Red Cross volunteer named Emily Bissell. Bissell was a successful fundraiser and she soon came up with a plan based on one that had worked in Denmark. She would design and print special holiday seals and sell them at the post office for a penny each.
By the end of her holiday campaign and after an endorsement by President Roosevelt, she and a large group of committed volunteers had raised ten times the goal and the American Lung Association Christmas Seals were born.
The tradition continued and grew year after year through WW1, The Great Depression and WW11. As the American Lung Association's mission expanded to include research into other respiratory diseases, such as lung cancer, more people began to use Christmas Seals. And as the American Lung Association stepped up to protect children and families from pollution and cigarette smoke in the 1960's, 70's and 80's, America continued its support each year by supporting the Christmas Seal tradition.
Today, the American Lung Association fights a bigger battle than ever before. The research now is on lung cancer, COPD and asthma. The association fights against the dangerous poisons in air pollution and secondhand smoke. The American Lung Association is largely supported by Christmas Seals.
Each year, millions observe the tradition of sealing holiday cards and packages with that year's special designed seal. And each year, your Christmas Seals donation supports the important fight against lung disease.

It was cold this morning.
-28F on the thermometer at our place in the Champlain Valley of Vermont.
I think I saw -37F at Saranac Lake. Does anybody have other reports from around New England?
Does anybody understand the dynamics as to why Mount Washington is the coldest place in New Hampshire? Seems like an easy answer...it's the top of a mountain. But, it's more complicated than that. Yes, in general it gets colder as you go up, except when it comes to record cold events in the winter. At those times it is unique valley locations that act as sinks to collect the cold air.
But not in New Hampshire. Mount Washington holds the record low for the state.

West High senior Emma Bell is the sixth Wolf Pack athlete to gain the honor in the 20 years since the award was established.
Millennium High senior Jacob Eakin is the first athlete from the local charter school to win the award.
Both will receive $600 scholarships.
The section awarded a total of $33,800 in scholarships, with more than $26,000 coming from sports admission fees, as well as basketball and volleyball games scheduled as benefits for the Sac-Joaquin Section Foundation.
The rest of the money comes from the CSEA and Crystal Creamery.
The section's awards breakfast will be at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 16, at Hutchins Street Square in Lodi.
Emma Bell
Bell, 18, said playing two varsity sports while taking a full course load is a time-management challenge that will prepare her for her studies at University of California, Davis, where she will major in civil engineering.
"It's helped me achieve in school, because you also get the support from your teammates," she said. "It's kept me involved in school, and the coaches encourage us to do our best."
She has played four years on the varsity tennis team and finished the fall 2012 season as the Tri-City Athletic League singles champion.
She also played basketball all four years at West, including two years on the varsity squad, earning an all-TCAL first-team selection her junior year.
She carries a 4.3 grade-point average, which includes advanced placement classes in psychology, English, calculus and government. She also teaches tennis and swimming, and has coached at West's summer basketball camp.
Bell has no plans to compete in NCAA athletics, but said U.C. Davis offers plenty of opportunities to get involved with intramural sports.
"I always tell (younger students), sports is a must," Bell said. "It helps you make friends, it teaches you good sportsmanship … It makes you a well-rounded student."
Jacob Eakin
Eakin, 17, said his participation on the Millennium football team helped him become more involved in campus life.
"When you're playing sports and having fun doing it, you're more willing to jump in on campus and do things and just be more involved in the school," he said.
Eakin has been the Falcons' center for four years, including the 2011 season when the football team went 10-1 and won the Central California Athletic Alliance title after going undefeated in the regular season.
He also played basketball his sophomore and junior years.
His 4.0 grade-point average puts him at the top of Millennium's 2013 graduating class.
Eakin enrolled at Discovery Charter School as a fifth-grader and stayed at the Tracy Learning Center to attend Millennium High. He said the charter school's program is just what he needed to be successful.
"The teachers care and know who you are," he said. "They don't see you as another number passing through. You're a student that they want to teach."
He plans to play football in the fall when he heads to Chapman University, a private NCAA Division III school in Orange. He will study psychology.
Eakin added that his role as a team captain on the Falcons team was an ideal complement to his academic effort.
"To have good grades along with good athletics puts you ahead of everyone else," he said. "It's an important aspect of high school."

Vincent Willem van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Groot-Zundert, a village in the southern Netherlands to a devout Catholic family, with his father Theodorus being a minister of the Reformed Dutch Church. Van Gogh loved to draw all the time as a child and amassed a large collection of images in the years leading to him becoming an artist.
Vincent van Gogh initially wished to be a pastor and from 1879 he worked as a missionary. Whilst working in the mining towns of Belgium, van Gogh sketched people from the local community, which inspired early works such as The Potato Eaters of 1885. After to moving to Antwerp in late 1885, the post-Impressionist painter was heavily influenced by Peter Paul Rubens, encouraging him to broaden his colour palette. Japanese art gained exposure in the West around this time, and van Gogh adopted the woodcut styles of Japan into the background of a number of his paintings. Vincent also started drinking around this time absinthe, a psychoactive spirit popular with bohemians at the time, which would play havoc with his pre-existing mental health issues.
In 1886, van Gogh moved to Paris, the epicentre of the art world at the time. He lived with his brother Theo, a doctor who supported Vincent emotionally and financially throughout his life. During the two years he lived in the French capital, the artist painted over 200 paintings and met the key Impressionist figures such as Cezanne and Toulouse-Lautrec. Disillusioned with the lack of public response to his work, Van Gogh moved to Arles for refuge, as excessive drinking and smoking took its toll on him. The local landscape and light enchanted him, with rich yellows, ultramarines and mauves replacing the muddy colours of his early work.
Paul Gauguin lived and painted with van Gogh during his time in Arles in 1888. The two were friends but constantly argued, and one argument escalated so far that van Gogh threatened the French artist with a razor blade. In a blind panic, van Gogh fled to a local brothel, cutting off his left ear. The artist finally admitted himself to an asylum in St. Remy, Provence and the clinic and gardens became the subjects of his final masterpieces. The majority of artworks from this period are characterized by intense colours and swirls, including one of his most famous paintings The Starry Night.
Shortly after being discharged from hospital, van Gogh's depression continued to affect him and on 27 July 1890, the artist shot himself in the chest with a revolver. Having never earned much in his own lifetime, his art has become a precious commodity for those investors who can afford it.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Fine art or folk art? Sculpture or skis? Antiquities or the avant-garde? European museums display more precious art and artefacts than you can imagine. Treat yourself to a wonderful European history and art appreciation course by roaming their galleries!
They are improving and increasing all the time too. In France for example the Pompidou Centre and the Louvre are too small for the collections, so they are building extentions in places like Lens and Metz. Brand new galleries are springing up all the time, while older museums are being updated and extended. It's all good news for the art fan.
Museums in Europe will astound you when you see some of the world's most famous art from just inches away. Imagine Winged Victory at Paris' Louvre (France); Egyptian, Greek, and Roman archaeological treasures at London's British Museum (United Kingdom); Botticelli's The Birth of Venus at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence (Italy); works by El Greco, Goya, Bosch, and Van Dyck at the Prado in Madrid (Spain); the Albertina's Albrecht Dürer's collection in Vienna (Austria); The Night Watch in Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum (Holland), or incomparable treasures at Berlin Museum Island (Germany).
These high-profile European museums are just the beginning - there are equally amazing collections in smaller museums dedicated to a particular artist or period. As you seek out these jewels, you'll enjoy the added benefit of exploring different neighbourhoods and discovering what may become your favourite hidden corners of Europe!
Is contemporary artistic expression more your speed? Europe is bursting with modern art. In Spain, visit the Guggenheim in Bilbao, in an eye-popping modern structure, and the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. In Austria, Vienna's Museum of Modern Art is as famous for its collection as for its architecture. In the United Kingdom, the Tate Modern in London, housed in a former power station, must be on your agenda. Paris' (France) Centre Georges Pompidou has ever-changing installations of the most avant-garde art, as well as one of the world's largest collections of contemporary art.
The Kobarid Museum in Slovenia displays World War I from the Soška fronta (Isonzo Front). The events described are related to the adventures and memories of celebrities, among whom are Ernest Hemingway and Erwin Rommel. Kobarid Museum was reclaimed Best European Museum and won the Council of Europe Museum Prize in 1993.
Norway's Fram Museum chronicles the adventures of intrepid North Pole explorers. You can board the Fram, the ship used to reach the top of the world. The Ski Museum is inside the Holmenkollen Ski Jump! Investigate 4,000 years of skiing history while enjoying a superb view of Oslo. Follow the daily life of the Vikings at Iceland's Sagamuseum.
At Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens, Austria, people from all over the word enjoy the wondrous beauty of Swarovski's multi-faceted creations.
If antique clothing and textiles intrigue you, enjoy the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (United Kingdom), the National Museum of Clothing and Fashion in Portugal, and the lovely Sadberk Hanim Museum in Istanbul (Turkey).
Greece, an archaeology lover's dream, has dozens of antiquities museums throughout the country. The Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology (Turkey), one of the world's foremost in this field, is located in a 15th century castle. It holds an extensive amphorae collection and an underwater exhibit showing how archaeologists recover items from the deep.
Germany pays tribute to items from daily life at the Toy Museum in Nuremburg, the Wallpaper Museum in Kassel, and the Museum Jeans and Kult in Buttenheim, the birthplace of Levi Strauss, inventor of blue jeans!
The cutting edge Design Museum in Helsinki (Finland) dazzles with its innovative exhibits.
Lisbon's (Portugal) Museu Nacional dos Coches houses a superb collection of richly adorned, 17th--19th century royal vehicles used by various European courts up until the advent of the motor car.
Kids may roll their eyes at art that's "good for them", so check out Hands On Europe. This international association is dedicated to the development of the children's museum concept, and includes museums from 21 European countries. For child-friendly exhibits in the United Kingdom, visit Show Me; many of Europe's larger museums have special programming and exhibits for children – be sure to ask what's on.
Arts in Europe is your gateway to art and architecture in Belgium, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Romania, Spain, and Switzerland, and publishes an electronic monthly newsletter. The European Museum Guide is helpful for finding temporary exhibitions in 27 European countries. ArtCyclopedia lists museums from all over the world, searchable by different variables so you can pinpoint those of interest to you.
International Museum Day takes place around May 18th—although in Britain, where many museums have no admission fee, it lasts for the entire month! Originally conceived by the International Council of Museums and now in its 20th year, scores of countries participate with special events and exhibits.
The wild and woolly Atlantic rolls ashore on many coasts.

In hopes of encouraging and stimulating foot traffic, the Cartersville Downtown Development Authority will set aside one evening a month for businesses to keep their doors open a little later. In tonight's first run of First Friday, 19 downtown businesses, in addition to restaurants, will be staying open until 8 p.m.
"We thought it would allow a wonderful opportunity for our downtown merchants to create a new shopping opportunity downtown," said DDA Manager Tara Currier. "A lot of times, people can't come on the weekend and if they work it can be hard sometimes to get in and shop. So this is a great opportunity, even for those that work out of town and want to come experience all that downtown has to offer.
"With it being new, if we had half a dozen I would have been thrilled, so I'm just thrilled with how many businesses we have wanting to participate and hope that it will entice others that will not be able to participate this time to do so in the future."
The idea for a First Friday shopping event came from the success seen in other downtown areas with similar efforts, including Rome and Woodstock.
A variety of shops are participating in tonight's First Friday, including Asbury Station, B&B Antiques, Bartow History Museum, Blue Sky Outfitters, Downtown Gallery, Evolution, Cohutta Fishing Co., Fancy This, Findley's Butcher Shop, Jordan Scott Salon, Kissing Frog's, Lulu Boutique, Main Street Salon, Meg Pie, Periwinkle, Psycho Sisters, Spring Place Pottery and Artists' Gallery, Southern Guitars and The King's Knit Wit.
"We think it's great," said Meg Pie owner Deborah Ballew, speaking also for business partner Nancy Childs. "I have been to them at other cities. We would go to dinner at other cities and the stores were never open, so this gives an opportunity to go in and look around and see the things they have and you see a lot of people you know too. I think it's a fun event."
In addition to extended hours, First Friday will attempt to build, over time, a festive atmosphere during the downtown event.
"We want to really create a festive atmosphere," Currier said. "We're really encouraging businesses to have maybe an artist demonstration outside or someone doing cotton candy or funnel cakes or a musician playing outside their store just to create something fun that's visual.
"Hopefully as people are driving through downtown, they'll be enticed to stop and see what's going on. As they're going around and seeing things outside, they'll go by the storefronts and hopefully they'll be encouraged to go inside and patronize to see what that particular store has to offer."
Even downtown Cartersville's newest stores, Fancy This and Southern Guitars, will be participating, including a possible musical offering on the sidewalk in front of Southern Guitars' 14 W. Main St. location. Meg Pie, located under the Church Street bridge, is currently in talks with arts and crafts demonstrators trying to arrange a live art performance as well.
Downtown shops will be able to host street-side demonstrations and vendors every First Friday due to a resolution from the city council. Currier just asks that food vendors not serve entree-style meals that would interfere with a guest dining downtown or that goods be sold that compete with other downtown merchants.
Like Meg Pie, Psycho Sisters and other merchants typically stay open until 7 p.m. on Fridays, but will stay open an extra hour for First Friday events. Psycho Sisters owner Holly Delaney looks forward to any event downtown that brings in guests and reminds residents of the locally-owned businesses in historic downtown Cartersville.
"I really just want to see more festivals down here and see more of a draw for local folks to come check out local businesses. I think with all the big-box stores that have moved into Cartersville the last few years, people sort of forget to support their downtown merchants," Delaney said. "We're open later for that reason, because for a lot of people, if you're only open from 10-5 or 10-6, it's hard for people that work to come shop during the week. Then when people have families, their weekends get booked up. So it can be hard to come shop under those hours."
Wrapping up the First Friday weekend for downtown Cartersville will be the 2013 Summer Concert Series. Saturday, May 4, from 7 to 9 p.m., The Rockingbirds will take the stage in Friendship Plaza.
