Reviews for Playworks
Playworks has worked for years to bring active, positive play into schools across the country. Playworks is especially effective in environments where lots of bullying and conflicts can happen at recess, and not all kids have other outlets to expend energy outside of those precious few minutes at school. These skills help set kids up for an easier transition to the classroom, as well as teams and teamwork later on in life.
As a board member, I've been able to balance strategy with execution by partnering with our national leadership team to meet the increasing demands in the San Francisco Bay Area for our model. We've been fortunate to have experienced, bright staff who bridge the needs of our frontline coaches and families while also partnering with our board to drive initiatives forward.
at It is not uncommon to hear a school principle from a Playworks school say that the program is the core of their school culture, and the most valuable tool they have to create an environment where kids learn best.
It is a privilege to serve on the board of Playworks. Playworks passionate focus on systemic change is inspirational, and the equally passionate testimonial from educators, parents and children is a strong testament to the program's impact.
Playworks does amazing things for kids, bringing structure, leadership, and fun back into the playground. Serving primarily at-risk kids, they have proven results on reduction of bullying and increased productive time back in the classroom. I have personally spoken with several principals who claim that it turned around their schools, and the first question they would ask if transferred to another school is "Is it a Playworks school?" because they believe it is a critical component of success.
A fantastic organization bringing play - and with it healthy kids, better academic focus, teamwork, leadership opportunities, and fun - to at-risk kids.
I worked for Playworks and can't think of a more authentic, engaged organization. People who work here believe in what they do and it drives the connection to community and the difference in kids lives. Go Playworks!
I was introduced to Playworks Colorado when my son became a Junior Coach. Our lives were forever changed as I watched my son learn to use his super powers and become a great leader. I was compelled to get more involved in order to ensure every child has the same opportunity as my son. As schools focus more and more on academics, it is important to keep play and recess alive and use them as tools to create positive leaders. I am honored to sit on the Playworks Board and help this organization grow!
I feel great about donating to Playworks -- what an amazing organization and I am happy to support their mission to keep kids active and educate everyone about the value of play in children's lives. I am lucky to have corporate matching to double my gift. Thank you, Playworks, for all you do to improve the lives of our children!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I was introduced to Playworks Arizona a few months ago. Had an opportunity to see the program in action at a school, and attended the breakfast event. Truly impressed with the team leading this organization, their genuine passion and best of all the results they produce in the schools. What I witnessed at the school was nothing less than impressive. In the few weeks since school started, the program was able to transform recess into a positive experience for all students. The Playworks program is a gift to the students, teachers, administrators an our community at large.
I became involved with Playworks a few months ago after visiting a school and being blown away by seeing the work that coaches do every day. In order to learn effectively, children need safe, supportive and inclusive environments and Playworks not only reinforces those qualities on the playground, it helps instantiate them throughout the school. The data supports the impact that healthy play can have on children's lives and academic careers, but you can see it viscerally in the way that children learn to play foursquare together without fighting whenever there's a disputed call or the boost in confidence a junior coach gets by learning to solve problems in real time.
Before joining the Board of Playworks, I visited a school to see the program in action. It was a deeply moving experience. The school principal said Playworks had significantly improved the environment. Bullying had decreased and productivity was way up. I also met a Junior Coach who was empowered for the first time as a leader of his peers. He was clearly delighted to be developing new interpersonal and life skills. After seeing the enormous positive impact of this program, I just had to get involved!
Playworks has been doing amazing work for nearly 20 years. By building safe, inclusive playground cultures where kids can have a universally positive play experience, Playworks transforms the cultures of low-income elementary schools across the country. 10 minutes on the playground of a Playworks school and you will immediately recognize the quality of programming, the magnitude of impact, and the deep importance of the work that is being done. Definitely an organization that everyone should know about and easy to stand behind!

New Scotland manager Gordon Strachan believes the national team should emulate Germany if they are to become an international threat.
The Daily Telegraph has reported that Strachan, who was appointed the national team's manager on Monday, is a keen admirer of the German model of play, which favours the 4-3-3 system. "The first objective is to win. You have to win. We'd all like to play a certain style of football, and mine is the German style," Strachan said.
Making particular reference to current German coach Joachin Low's methods, Strachan continued: "I think German football is terrific. They play three up front, but it's three strikers. When we try it, it's a winger who never scores or a midfielder on the other side who doesn't have a clue about coming inside or whatever." The former Celtic also made reference to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, saying United's methods are "all about winning."
Scotland are struggling in their World Cup qualifying group, currently bottom of Group A and without a win in their opening four games, having scored just two goals. The last major tournament the Scots qualified for was the 1998 World Cup. Germanay, on the other hand, are cruising in Group E, top of the group and undefeated through four games.
While Strachan would ultimately like to see his team emulate the European powerhouse, he is also aware things cannot happen overnight. Strachan said: "The Germans do it brilliantly. I've studied them. But we haven't developed players to do that. They don't have a sitting midfield player, they have [Mesut] Ozil who goes in a channel. That's the perfect way of playing football but you need these players who allow you to do it."

All of the military services will soon have their own cyber groups, coordinated at a higher level by the recently launched U.S. Cyber Command. Here is a timeline of the recent developments.
August 2009The Air Force becomes the first service to activate a dedicated cyber component, the 24th Air Force, under the Air Force Space Command. Located at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, the 24th is charged with operating the Air Force's portion of the Defense Department's Global Information Grid. It is commanded by Maj. Gen. Richard Webber. The Air Force's cyber outfit faced controversy when plans to launch it as a major command were halted in 2008 in favor of placing the responsibilities in the 24th.
January 2010Marines establish the Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command, based at Fort Meade, Md. The command is led by Lt. Gen. George Flynn.

Titanium levels in the organs and blood of rats
with a titanium implant, in the absence of wear,
as determined by double-focusing ICP-MS
Alejandro Sarmiento-González & Jorge Ruiz Encinar &
Juan M. Marchante-Gayón & Alfredo Sanz-Medel
Received: 24 July 2008 /Revised: 26 September 2008 /Accepted: 30 September 2008 / Published online: 24 October 2008
# Springer-Verlag 2008
Abstract Titanium (Ti) has long been regarded as an inert
and biocompatible metal, ideal for biomedical applications
such as dental implants or joint replacements. However,
concerns about the biocompatibility of Ti have lately arisen.
Unfortunately, information on reliable Ti baseline physio-
logical levels in blood and organ tissues is still pending and
the real effects of physiological corrosion as opposed to
wear processes of Ti or Ti alloys implants is controversial
so far. In this work a previously developed and validated
methodology, based on using double-focusing inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (DF-ICP-MS) has been
used to establish Ti basal levels in blood and organs (heart,
liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs) of Wistar rats. These data
were compared with the levels found in three Wistar rats
implanted with a Ti wire embedded in their femur for
18 months, in order to assign possible Ti released purely
due to non-wear physiological mechanisms. Results
showed that Ti content in all the selected organ tissues
and blood was higher than previously determined Ti basal
levels, clearly showing both corrosion of the Ti implant and
systemic Ti accumulation in target tissues. These results
indicate that Ti metal corrosion occurs. This seems to be
the only mechanism responsible in the long term for the
observed passive dissolution of Ti of the implant in the
absence of wear. A comparative study of the systemic
distribution of the soluble and particulate Ti potentially
released from Ti implants was also carried out by intra-
peritoneally injection of soluble Ti(citrate)3and insoluble
TiO2particles, respectively. Different systemic Ti storage
was observed. Whereas soluble Ti was rapidly transported
to all distal organs under study, TiO2particles were only
accumulated in lung tissue.
Keywords Titanium.Implants.DF-ICP-MS.Rats.
The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis by
total joint replacement is an important health-care concern
because of their prevalence in our expanding population of
elderly patients. At present, 0.16–0.20% per year of the
worldwide population receives a total hip joint arthroplasty
[1]. However, current metallic implant technology is limited
and all metallic implants degrade to some extent over time,
resulting in increased serum and urine metal concentrations
and, eventually, in local and systemic metal storage [2–5].
As metal degrades, the resulting metallic implant debris
may exist "in vivo" as particles (micrometer to nanometre
in size), as colloidal and ionic forms (non-specifically or
specifically bound by proteins), colloidal organometallic
complexes, and inorganic metal salts or oxides [6]. All
those metal physical forms pose some biological risk for the
organism, leading to many potential adverse effects
including cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and
metal hypersensitivity [7–10]. Furthermore, such metallic
debris may initiate acute and chronic inflammatory
responses, and even necrosis, in the tissues surrounding
the prostheses, contributing to bone resorption, which
seems to be the major factor in the aseptic loosening of
implants [11].

Metals are released from prostheses by numerous mecha-
nisms, including corrosion, wear and mechanically assisted
electrochemical processes such as fretting corrosion, stress
corrosion and, corrosion fatigue. Identification of the exact
process responsible for elevated metal levels observed in
clinical studies [5, 12] is not an easy task, because such
different mechanisms often act simultaneously and their
extent depends not only on the material used but also on
environmental factors (pH, implant locations, etc.). In any
case, it must be taken into account that although, in the
future, it might, perhaps, be possible to minimize (or
ultimately eliminate) wear, releases via passive physiological
dissolution will be always present. Thus, assessment of
purely electrochemical release mechanisms is needed today
in order to measure possible metal release even without a
component of wear.
Titanium (Ti) has long been regarded as an inert and
biocompatible highly corrosion-resistant metal, because of the
thin and stable protective oxide layer spontaneously formed on
its surface. However, implanted Ti undergoes events such as
bending, scratching, or, according to recent studies, corrosion
[13] which may disrupt the passive surface oxide layer. In the
process of removal and reformation of this passive layer,
metal ions and/or particles can be released and locally stored
or mobilized. Unfortunately, and contrary to popular belief,
such released Ti may cause harmful effects in blood, fibrotic
tissues, or osteogenic cells after travelling through the
circulatory or lymphatic systems [14]. For the above reasons,
many questions about the biocompatibility Ti implants have
lately been raised and many studies initiated and carried out
on this topic coming from very different scientific disciplines
(e.g. medicine, chemistry, biochemistry, materials science,
etc.). Many of those studies focused simply on identification
of Ti particles in target organs by use of the electron
microprobe [15, 16] but Campbell et al. [17] demonstrated
that metal released from an implant can be present as
nanoparticle debris or as organometallic complexes (bound
to tissue proteins) which can be beyond the resolution of the
electron microprobe. On the other hand, most of the studies
have tried to quantify the Ti present in the blood or organ
tissues of implanted patients using a wide range of atomic
analytical techniques (ETAAS, ICP-OES, ICP-QMS, etc.).
Unfortunately, most of these techniques lack the sensitivity
and selectivity required for such studies. As an example,
Jacobs et al. [18] recently reviewed his experience on Ti
serum determination in more than 750 individuals using
ETAAS and concluded that Ti basal levels should be below
their Ti detection limit (DL; 2.1 ppb). Their values were lower
than those provided by other authors using the same technique
(23.9 ppb [19], 3 ppb [20]). This sensitivity problem could not
be overcome by using quadrupole-based ICP-MS, because the
isobaric and polyatomic interferences with every Ti isotope,
especially important when analysing biological samples, are
very serious, making matters even worse than using ETAAS.
Moreover, interference attenuation using collision/reaction cell
technology has proved to be insufficient to quantify Ti at the
basal levels in complex samples by ICP-QMS [21, 22]. An
additional concern in accomplishing reliable quantification of
ultratrace levels of Ti present in such complex samples is
contamination derived from inappropriate materials or sample
pretreatments [4]. Finally, in some cases, reported data seem
not to be correctly processed [5, 23] under adequate chemical
metrology protocols [24]. All these factors have led to great
confusion and controversy about true Ti physiological or
baseline levels in fluids and organs of non-implanted people
and, therefore, to a lack of quantitative evidence of the
amounts of Ti released from a Ti-based implant in the absence
of wear (of course, much lower than that observed when
mechanical wear takes place).
The objective of this work was to shed some light on this
issue of reliable Ti baseline levels in rat tissues typicallyused
for modelling Ti release and distribution. To do so, we have
resorted to a double focusing inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometer (DF-ICP-MS), the analytical technique of
choice for the determination of Ti in biological samples,
because of the possibility of measuring at medium resolution
(avoiding spectral polyatomic interferences such as31P16O+
technique in conjunction with ultraclean sample-preparation
procedures could enable assessment of "in vivo" corrosion
of Ti implants in the absence of wear. The rat organ Ti
distribution patterns observed will be critically compared
with those obtained after intraperitoneal injection of soluble
Ti (Ti(citrate)3) and non-soluble Ti (TiO2particles) in order
to investigate the differential transport and distribution in
the organism of both types of Ti species.

Reagents and materials
Ultrapure deionized water (≥18.2 MΩ cm) was obtained from
an Advance A10 Milli-Q system (Millipore, Bedford, MA,
USA). Suprapur hydrogen peroxide 30% and analytical-
reagent-grade nitric acid 65%, additionally purified by sub-
boiling distillation, both from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany),
were used for the microwave digestion of blood and tissue
Ti and Ga ICP standards were also obtained from Merck.
Non-commercially available solid natural titanium citrate was
synthesized from TiCl4(Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland) and citric
acid monohydrate (Merck) following the procedure published
by Deng et al. [25].
Ti wire (purity 99.99%) was chosen as the implant
material. It was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim,
336A. Sarmiento-González et al.
Page 3
Germany). On reception the implant geometry corresponded
to a cylindrical wire of 1.0 mm outer diameter. Sphere-like
TiO2particles, purchased from Fluka, were approximately
1 μm in size.
Two different biological reference materials were used as
quality controls in this study: Seronorm Trace Elements
Urine Blank (ref. 201205, LOT NO 2525) and Seronorm
were from Seronorm (Nycomed, Oslo, Norway).
For collection of blood samples, plastic collection tubes
conditioned with lithium heparin were purchased from
Vacuette (Greiner bio-one, Madrid, Spain).
Clean procedures were used in sampling and sample
pretreatments. Metal and glassware were avoided and all
plasticware was soaked in an acid bath of sub-boiling
HNO310% (v/v) for at least 24 h, rinsed several times with
water (≥18.2 MΩ cm), and then dried prior to use in a clean
fume hood equipped with a laminar flow system.
Animals enrolled in the study
Treatment of the animals in this study followed ethical
guidelines established by the University of Oviedo. Approval
of all animal procedures was obtained from the local ethics
committee.Sixteen male Wistar rats wereused throughout the
work and were divided into two different studies. In the first
study seven four-month-old Wistar rats weighing approxi-
mately 200 g were enrolled. Three received a Ti wire implant
for 18 months whereas the other four animals were used as
control group (did not receive any implant).
A second related study was carried out with nine four-
month-old rats divided into three different groups, each
comprising three animals. One group was intraperitoneally
injected with a suspension of titanium oxide (TiO2) particles
in 0.9% (w/w) NaCl (group A); another group was intra-
peritoneally injected with a solution of the previously
synthesized Ti(citrate)3in 0.9% (w/w) NaCl (group B) and,
finally the control group intraperitoneally injected with 0.9%
(w/w) NaCl (control group). None of the animals died or
showed alterations in body weight, behaviour, or general
health during the experiments.
Ti wire implantation
Before implantation, and following the American Societyfor
Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards for the preparation
of metallic surgical implants, cylindrical Ti wire was soaked
in 20% (v/v) HNO3 for 20 min, washed with water
(≥18.2 MΩ cm), and, finally, sterilized by autoclaving.
The animals were anaesthetized with isofluorane at 5%
vaporized in O2flowing at 2 mL min−1prior to surgical
implantation. Following anaesthesia, an incision was made
in the right hind leg under aseptic conditions. Afterwards,
the Ti wire was inserted by identifying the femoral
condyles and drilling with a Dremel bit (outer diameter
1.1 mm) an orifice through the intercondylar notch to the
central marrow channel. The cylindrical shape ends were
rounded in order to eliminate sharp edges. Sample
migration was avoided by closing the fascia with a non-
resorbable suture point. Figure 1 shows a radiograph
recorded nine months after implantation. Note that radio-
graphs of every implanted rat were recorded every three
months to check the status of the prostheses.
Synthesis of the non-commercially available Ti(citrate)3
In order to study possible mobilization of a soluble Ti(IV)
species biocompatible with the body fluids, we carried out the
synthesis of the non-commercially available Ti(citrate)3
((NH4)[Ti(H2Cit)3].3H2O) following the procedure published
by Deng et al. [25]. Briefly, 1.9 g (10 mmol) Ti(IV)
tetrachloride and 6.3 g (30 mmol) citric acid monohydrate
were mixed and the pH of the solution was adjusted to 2.0
by slow addition of dilute ammonia solution. The solution

was continuously stirred and heated gently until a white
microcrystalline material started to form. The precipitate was
then collected and recrystallized from hot water. The Ti(IV)
final reaction yield was 80%, as determined by ICP-MS
using standard additions. The synthesized compound chem-
ical characterized by NMR, IR, and C, H, and N elemental
analysis; the data obtained (not shown) agreed well with
those published by Deng [25].
Intraperitoneal injection of the TiO2particles suspension
and of the Ti(citrate)3solution
Both the suspension of TiO2 particles and Ti(citrate)3
solution were vortex mixed and intraperitoneally adminis-
tered in a single dose of approximately 2.0×104ng Ti in
1 mL 0.9% (w/w) NaCl saline solution. Controls were given
intraperitoneal injections of equivalent volumes of the
saline solution (0.9% (w/w) NaCl) to compensate for the
effect of the vehicle.
Blood samples collection
Extraction of blood from implanted rats was performed
every 6 months in order to evaluate Ti level changes in
blood over time. Samples were withdrawn using a stainless
steel needle surrounded by an inert plastic cannula. After
insertion into the heart, the needle was removed and blood
was sampled through the plastic cannula. Blood was drawn
into standard plastic syringes previously cleaned. The first
1 mL of blood was used to rinse the system and then
discarded. The second 2 mL were transferred to blood-
collection tubes conditioned with lithium heparin and
stored at ≤18 °C until analysis. Prior to the animals being
euthanized, isofluorane anaesthesia at 5% vaporized in O2
was used; the animals were then sacrificed by exsanguina-
tion via cardiac puncture to allow blood collection.
Organ tissue samples collection
Different organs (liver, kidneys, heart, spleen, and lungs)
from every implanted rat were immediately isolated,
lyophilized for 72 h, and individually stored at ≤18 °C until
analysis. Organ tissue samples from the intraperitoneally
injected Wistar rats were pooled after excision and homoge-
nised prior to the 72 h lyophilization step. Afterwards,
pooled samples were stored at ≤18 °C until analysis.
Blood samples pretreatment
Whole blood (1 mL) was accurately weighed, using a Precisa
Instruments (Dietikon, Switzerland) XB220A analytical bal-
ance, into microwave digestion vessels. Diluted sub-boiling
HNO3(1:3 v/v, 8 mL) and 1 mL H2O2were added to the
digestion vessels and digested by following the microwave
1. 95 °C for 3 min;
2. 160 °C for 10 min; and
3. 185 °C for 18 min.
The digests were transferred to pre-cleaned low-density
polyethylene (LDPE) containers, spiked with Ga as internal
standard to obtain 10 ppb concentration in the final
solution, and diluted to 15 mL in water (≥18.2 MΩ cm).
Organ tissue samples pretreatment
Previously lyophilized and homogenized organ tissues were
also microwave digested. For this purpose, approximately
250 mg organ tissue sample were accurately weighed and
subjected to the same sample pre-treatment as blood
samples. It is worth stressing that microwave digestion
vessels were thoroughly cleaned before all the sample
digestions making use of the same reagents and microwave
program previously mentioned but in the absence of the
sample. Moreover, at least one digestion blank was
prepared for every 10-samples carrousel digested.
Calibration and quality control
Six-point external calibration curves from 0 to 5 μg L−1Ti
were constructed every five working hours. Regression
coefficients obtained were always excellent (r2ranged from
0.9996 to 1.0000). Every 12 samples, a blank and a Ti ICP
standard of the calibration curve (2.5 μg L−1Ti) were
measured to check for memory effects and correct for likely
signal drift. In addition, two selected Ti-containing biological
reference materials were also measured every 12 samples as
a quality control (if each reference material result was not
within the confidence interval of the reference value the
whole group analysis was repeated).
Element-specific detection of Ti was performed using an
Element 2 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA)
double-focusing inductively coupled plasma mass spectrom-
eter (DF-ICP-MS) working at medium resolution (RS=4000)
in order to avoid the polyatomic spectral interferences with
Ti determination, especially in human blood sample analysis.
The ICP-MS was equipped with an ASX-510 autosampler
for 4×60 samples (CETAC Technologies, Omaha, USA).
Operating conditions used can be found elsewhere [2]. In
this work only47Ti,49Ti, and71Ga were measured.

nized in an agate mortar. For whole blood and organ tissues
digestion, a model Ethos 1 microwave oven (Milestone,
Socisole, Italy) equipped with ten middle pressure PTFE
vessels and a temperature sensor was used.
Results and discussion
Quality control
during the whole analysis run (20 h), two biological Ti-
containing reference materials were analyzed after every set of
14 samples (including a blank and a calibration standard):
1. whole blood (reference value: 2.3 μg L−1, confidence
interval: 1.3–3.3 μg L−1); and
2. urine (reference value: 4.9 μg L−1, confidence interval:
3.41–6.41 μg L−1).
Results obtained for both reference materials during the
analysis period are shown in Fig. 2. As can be clearly seen,
every quantitative result lay within the confidence interval
for each reference material. Moreover, the data-to-data
reproducibility obtained during the whole working period
was very good (2.24±0.30 and 4.78±0.62 μg Ti L−1, for
the whole blood and urine, respectively, n=18), demon-
strating the robustness of the method.
Implanted animals
Quantitative analysis of Ti following the previously detailed
procedures was carried out on liver, kidneys, spleen, lung, and
were determined in a pool of each of the five target organs of
the control group (non-implanted) in order to establish Ti
baseline levels. It is worth stressing that determination of
reliable Ti basal levels could be achieved for each organ
because of the extremely high sensitivity provided by the DF-
ICP-MS used. In fact, after acidic microwave digestion and
dilution with water (≥18.2 MΩ cm) of the different organs of
the control group, the corresponding Ti levels in solution to be
quantified in the range 0.2 to 0.6 μg L−1Ti, which were well
above the DL of our approach (0.066 μg L−1Ti). This DL
was calculated by following IUPAC guidelines (3 times
the standard deviation of 10 consecutive measurements of
the blank method solution). Such values not only back the
reliability of the Ti basal levels given in this work, they also
indicate the unreliability of other much higher reported values
(Table 1) and the need to use DF-ICP-MS in these studies.
Data obtained for the Ti content of organs from the three
implanted animals are individually shown in Fig. 3, together
with controls (white columns). As can be observed,
elevated Ti levels, as compared with our previously
established Ti basal levels, could be found in all the organs
under study for the three implanted animals. These results
demonstrate unequivocally that corrosion in the absence of
wear had taken place, because Ti was released and then
mobilized to all of the five organs selected for this study.
For further clarification and comparison of the results, Ti
average content in organ tissues of the control group and
implanted animals are shown in Table 2. As can be
observed, the spleen, a part of the immune system, showed
the highest Ti content of all the distal tissues (closely
followed by the lungs). Much lower Ti concentrations, but
always well above baseline levels, were observed in kidney
and heart tissues. In contrast, the liver results obtained were

I have been wearing these boots for about 2 weeks so I cannot say how long they will last but they live up to the reviews I've read about being the most comfortable boots you can wear. They broke in within a couple hours and are very light so they don't wear down your legs and back. My feet have stayed dry through hot days and through rain. If they have a good life span I will keep buying these boots when they wear out.

Abstract: Let be a Radon measure on , which may be nondoubling. The only condition that must satisfy is the size condition , for some fixed . Recently, some spaces of type and were introduced by the author. These new spaces have properties similar to those of the classical spaces and defined for doubling measures, and they have proved to be useful for studying the boundedness of Calderón-Zygmund operators without assuming doubling conditions. In this paper a characterization of the new atomic Hardy space in terms of a maximal operator is given. It is shown that belongs to if and only if , and , as in the usual doubling situation.

Christmas Gift Bento and Happy News
Christmas is a week away and my to-do shopping list is just as long as it was last week. *slaps forehead* This weekend I will get it all done, seriously! Baby Girl has been getting increasingly crabby at nights because of lack of naps at school and such, which means she's been throwing tantrums and barking at her poor mother-slave. As a result, I've put the Santa Threat into full gear and boy does it work. She was pissed at me for not letting her eat a candy cane, so I said it was time for her bath, which infuriated her. When I said she wasn't getting any gummy vitamins for throwing a fit, it infuriated her further. Eventually it escalated to the point where I couldn't touch her without her slapping me and screaming at me. This has...Read More

…it's time for Christmas bentos! 😀 After the Halloween and Thanksgiving bunch of seasonal bentos, having holiday themed lunches just seemed like the right thing to do from now on. I won't curse myself by saying I'll do a lot of Christmas bento because by now I'm sure you all have noticed that once I say I'll do something, some event or cold or bento drought comes along to muck up my plans. To kick things off, I made an ornament bento, though I'd planned it a little differently in my sketch. I have a bunch of rice blocks in the freezer and I used one this morning to make the two small ornamental onigiri. Curious how I got purple and red (ok, ok, it looks orange…) rice?

SW Florida weather: Afternoon storms remain in forecast
We're on track to see another round of afternoon storms to start off the work week.
We start the morning dry in the low to mid 70s, and temperatures will climb quickly with plenty of sunshine in place. By midday, temperatures will approach 90 degrees, and most of Southwest Florida will end up topping out in the low to mid 90s this afternoon.
Isolated storms will start to pop by mid-afternoon, and these storms will keep building and expanding through the late afternoon and into the evening. Now that our winds have become more easterly, the sea breeze won't be able to work as far inland, which will keep the highest rain chances closer to the coast and along the urban corridor of U.S. 41 and Interstate 75. The prime time for rain for most of us will be from 3 to 6 p.m.
After the rain fades close to sunset, expect partial clearing with lows dropping into the low to mid 70s through the overnight period.
We'll rinse and repeat this forecast Tuesday with the highest rain chances again staying along to the urban corridor.

In 1996, after a 17-year career in the destination marketing industry, where I gained national standing as the CEO of the Convention & Visitors Association of Lane County, I was recruited by the founders of a new professional basketball league for women. The American Basketball League (ABL) hoped to leverage the success of the 1996 USA women's national team at the Atlanta Olympics — much like USA Soccer is now leveraging the U.S. Women's National Team's victory in the World Cup. The ABL wanted a team in Portland, and they wanted me to be its general manager.
