Muffin Tin Monday - seaside
Top row:
- sand pail
- fishy crackers
- octopus shaped hot dog
Bottom row:
- strawberries (I figure if Sponge Bob can have a pineapple under the sea, we can have strawberries!)
- lobster quesadilla
- fish shaped hard boiled egg
The lowlights:
The bottom row occupants! All of them!
The lobster cookie cutter I used is from a set of Williams Sonoma cutters I got a few years ago. It's super adorable, but it has very blunt edges that are not ideal for cutting through a crispy tortilla.
The boiled egg didn't fully form in the mold and then a fishy cracker totally jumped ship and remained undetected until I was loading these pictures! I guess a stowaway does still lend itself to the theme, somewhat...
And the strawberries? So uninspired! I had a cute idea for that muffin spot, but forgot to pick something up at the grocery store that I needed to pull it off. Maybe next time!
The highlights:
This cute little sandpail! The bucket is a mini cup that is from a bento shop. I filled it with vanilla yogurt and topped that with graham cracker crumbs.
Cute little octodog! I've made these before, but this is my favorite one yet. :) I continue to have a tricky time getting all 8 legs cut, this one only has six. I kinda started to understand why someone would want to have that little octodog cutting tool
(JList link) for easy tentacle making, until I realized after looking it up that it only makes 6 legs too! LOL
As always, you can go to the official Muffin Tin Monday site to see other muffin tin meals. Next week the scheduled themes begin again, starting with "alphabet/ABC". Hope to see you there! :)

I made an octodog for my preschooler today and after I cut the legs, I sat it on a plate with the legs straight out from the body (sitting upright) and microwaved it for just under a minute. The legs curled really well, and I didn't have to resort to deep frying it! It was fast too, which helps when your 3 year old is "soooooo hungwy mummy!"

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Georgia College softball team (15-34) rallied to take their Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Tournament opening round matchup against No. 3-seed Columbus State University 3-1, before dropping their second game 4-2 to No. 2-seed Armstrong Atlantic Friday.
The Bobcats used a superb pitching performance from righty Sabrina Chandler (Covington, Ga.) to propel past No. 3-seed Columbus State (36-15). Chandler went all seven innings, giving up only one run while scattering four hits.
Junior catcher Anna Parker (Columbus, Ga.) ensured her teammate's pitching effort would not be wasted, belting a two-RBI double to right-center in the top of the fifth inning.
GC added an insurance run in the top of the sixth, as Brandie Monroe (Savannah, Ga.) touched home on a fielder's choice from Corby Holmes (Social Circle, Ga.), making the score 3-1.
The Bobcats got out to a quick lead in game two against No. 2-seed Armstrong Atlantic (30-10), with Monroe scoring once again after singling to lead-off the inning.
Junior pitcher Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.) continuously worked her way out of jams, stranding 10 Pirate baserunners.
Unfortunately, Armstrong Atlantic was able to capitalize on a pair of Georgia College errors, plating three in the bottom of the fifth.
With the Pirates clinging to a 4-1 lead, GC first baseman Shahlisa Shirley (Winter Garden, Fla.) would make things a little more interesting as she blasted a solo home run to left field in the top of the sixth, closing the gap to 4-2. Shirley couldn't have chosen a better time for her first Division II home run.
The Bobcats would put two runners on in the top of the seventh, but Pirate pitcher Megan Barnwell would get a crucial strikeout to end the game.
Georgia College will head to the loser's bracket tomorrow, facing-off against No. 5-seed Augusta State University at 9 a.m.
The Bobcats split the season series with the Jaguars, winning the first matchup 3-2 before falling 4-2.
Be sure to tune in to www.PennAtlantic.com for continuing broadcast coverage of the Bobcats run at the PBC Tournament. Live broadcast will begin at 8:55 a.m. tomorrow morning.

T-Mobile NBA Family Affair Adds Bill Walton, Rick Barry And Their Sons To Campaign
May 17, 2010: T-Mobile said it would extend its "$5 Add a Line" campaign this week with multi-media creative featuring company spokesmen Charles Barkley and Dwyane Wade and also adding two more NBA legends and their families to the mix: Bill Walton and Rick Barry and their respective offspring.
The campaign is anchored by a humorous 30-spot that focuses on family connections. Support will include digital branding, billboards, branded content for TNT and ABC, print and local extensions in Boston and Orlando, where the Celtics and Magic are battling in the Eastern Conference Finals. Lead agency is Publicis in the West, Seattle.
The spot will break May 17 during Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers on TNT and will continue through the NBA Finals on ABC, which could also take it through Father's Day (June 20).
The spot opens with a voiceover asking, "Now that adding a family member to your plan is just $5, who would you add?" The first scene show brothers Scooter, Drew, Jon and Brent Barry — the latter two having also played in the NBA — on a basketball court watching dad Rick shooting free throws in the classic underhand move that saw him record a 90% FT average for his career. "We'd add Pops if he'd just stop doing that," they say as the elder Rick hits another shot.
In their home, Bill Walton's sons Adam, Nathan and Chris all say they'd add Luke, a reference to their brother who is a member of the Lakers. Dad Bill retorts, "What about your old man?"
In the next scene, a man at home watching TV says, "I'd add my three boys: Javier, Tomas and . . . D-Wade!!!" as the scene shifts to the NBA all-star in action.
Barkley finally gets his inauspicious moment when he says he'd add his Mom "if she'd pick up the phone. Momma - pick up the phone!" he pleads.
A voiceover then reiterates T-Mobile's "$5 plan" while touting an offer to buy a T-Mobile My Touch and getting a second one free, including the Motorola Cliq with MotoBlur.
T-Mobile said it is "excited to bring together these real families who unite and connect through the love the game [while giving fans] a glimpse of a fun moment among each family."
T-Mobile has also been running a separate campaign with spots featuring Barkley paired with Wade and Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, In addition, the telecom company is in the fourth season of taking its mobile hoops and interactive NBA Nation tour across the country along with other NBA marketing partners Sprite and Kia.

Q&A With Senior Karen Reis
Related Links
The UC San Diego women's volleyball team is ranked 3rd in the nation with a 14-1 record. The Tritons are one of the best serve and receive teams in the California Collegiate Athletic Association and part of that can be attributed to senior defensive specialist Karen Reis. The Bakersfield native is second on the team with 23 aces and averages 1.53 digs per set and a .921 reception percentage. Reis recently took time to discuss the current season and life as a student-athlete on the Triton volleyball team.
Q: UCSD is off to another strong start this year, with wins against two ranked opponents. Is there something different about this year's team than the teams you have been on in the past?
REIS: This year's team is very dedicated to getting better each day mentally and physically. We have been holding each other accountable to making changes and moving on to the next play better than we ever have. We have also been getting more and more confident as individuals and as a team.
Q: You've played with some UCSD greats along the back row. Have you gotten any tips from teammates or former teammates?
REIS: We don't really coach each other, but we help each other out by talking about who likes to hit what and what to watch for.
Q: This year, like the previous years under Tom Black, the Tritons lead the CCAA in service aces. Which UCSD servers do you like to see serving with the match on the line?
REIS: Honestly that's a tough question. I know each one of us is capable of nailing our serve with the match on the line.
Q: How do you feel the depth of this year's team will help as the year progresses through the postseason?
REIS: Everyone is competing with each other really hard in practice, which makes everyone better. I think we have greater depth this year than any other year, and the best part is that we all support each other when it comes to game day. We know that everyone is capable of contributing on the court at anytime.
Q: What would you like to do with your Cognitive Science major?
REIS: Good question... I'm kind of going process of elimination and I know I don't want to do research as of right now, so I guess there are a bunch of other possibilities.
Q: What has been your favorite class you have taken at UCSD?
REIS: COGS 102C...I took it last Spring and each group had to pick something to design/redesign. My group chose to redesign the dorm desk. We had to interview people about their opinions and also get them to test our prototypes. It was an exciting process and I had a really fun group to work with (Katy and JoJo!) which was probably the best part!
Q: What other Triton sports do you enjoy attending?
REIS: I actually like going to watch all of the sports here! A lot of the teams have been coming out and supporting us this season (which is greatly appreciated) so we will definitely return the favor.
Q: Do you have any plans after graduation?
REIS: As of right now I will be coaching two teams for Vulcan Volleyball club (12s and 13s) next year. I don't really have any other plans set besides that.
Q: What is your favorite song to hear during pre-game warm-ups?
REIS- I'm not the biggest music person. This year is actually the first year I've ever requested a song to be put on the warm-up tape and I don't even remember which one it was. Tom asked me the same question while we were at a conference together my sophomore year... My answer was Disney songs and I'm pretty sure he lost a little respect for me that day.
Q: UCSD homecoming is approaching on October 17. This is also the same date the Tritons host a rematch with Cal State San Bernardino. Do you know if any of your former teammates will be attending?
REIS: I'm already excited for Alumni Day!!! I know that Hannah, Amber (and Amber's parents), Casey, Nicole, Lauren, Becka (and Jarrod), Michelle, Kmart, Carp, and Natalie are all coming for sure. Some of the girls who graduated the year before I came to UCSD are coming too!
Q: The Tritons have a road match on Halloween this year. Has there been talk of anyone dressing up on the road trip?
REIS: Haha nope! Hopefully there will be a ton of candy on the trip though.
Q: If you could play another sport at UCSD, what would you choose?
REIS: Hmmmm...I would chose soccer with a minor stipulation that I got to practice juggling the ball all practice.
Q: When not playing volleyball, what do you like doing in your spare time?
REIS: I really enjoy hanging out with the team as well as other friends and family... Game nights, smore nights, MUDDY BUDDY nights, BBQs... I like that kind of hanging out instead of going to the movies or just going out in general. I also enjoy coaching a lot!

Mathew Sawyer & The Ghosts are to be found in London most of the time. Their name is not a trick and their leader was born in Hammersmith in 1977. He has just masterminded the first Ghosts studio album, Blue Birds Blood, a collection of songs notable for their exceptional willingness to just be songs, and nothing more. Aptly haunting and riddled with melancholy, almost every track on the album could, you feel, instantly qualify for 'classic' status; at least in the sense that three-minute cuts which sound like The Modern Lovers covering The Ronettes in Dan Treacy's bedroom could be 'classic'.
First stumbling upon the trio in Highbury last June, I was taken straight away with a marrying of heart-meltingly naive melodies and lo-fi musicianship that threw up a wistful fugue over the Buffalo Bar. There was one song in particular that got at me and made me seek it out online, its stabbing chords reaching deep and twisting the knife, before the chorus comes along and pulls my ticker out through my ears anyway. I asked the girl standing next to me what it was and she told me it was an ELO cover called 'Heartbreaker' - thankfully, she lied, or at least half-lied. "It's all mine and no other fucker's," as Sawyer says. He's rightly possessive - it's the sort of song a man can be proud of.
How's it going?
All okay for me, except a broken knuckle and finger. By a girl, I might add, after I told her I was a black belt.
Haha, how did she break your fingers?
Well, it was the end of the evening and everything was woozy. I told her that I was a black belt but didn't, like, boast and that I could, in fact, pretty much beat up everyone in the room; all at once or one at a time. So, yes, she took my admission as a challenge and grabbed my two smallest fingers by the root in her fist, then she kind of fell over and held on like you would on the Tube to one of those things that hang. There was a big CRACK, like chalk snapping...Yuk.
I hope it heals quickly. I wanted to ask you if you had any gigs coming up, but I suppose this might change things...
Well there was a few, but with the broken hand it's all off for the moment. I'm playing at the Spitz this Friday maybe, supporting Simon Breed. But that's only if I can get together with my friend and he'll play guitar and I will just sing and this could fall apart quite easily. Which is why I said yes to it. After that I'm running away to Rio de Janeiro on the 9th of March until the 20th of May, so I plan to play a couple gigs out there.
Will you take the rest of the band out there? Is there a regular line-up?
There isn't ever really a regular line-up. The Ghosts have been various friends or anyone who would like to play. I tried to always make it open to anyone who wants to give it a go, with no experience necessary, trying to keep away from the horrible sound of a band going through the motions – there's nothing more boring than playing the same songs in the same way over and over. This works to a certain extent and can sometimes bring about brilliant moments when everyone's trying to hang on for dear life and they pull it off. But I found that, on the whole, it's detrimental not to keep regular partners. Why couldn't the lifeguard save the drowning hippy? He was too far out... So now I'm working with the same people as much as possible, as in the past people I cared about felt messed about. And walked away. It's different now.
How did recording Blue Birds Blood compare to your releases in the past?
It's the first proper release, made in a studio and with others playing on it. I've made various bedroom CDs in the past and given them away to people, and used them in art shows I've done. They were more improvised though - still songs, just very lo-fi.
See, I wasn't even sure if it was your first 'proper' album. In a time when most bands are looking to exploit every promotional opportunity they can, there's not much about The Ghosts on the internet, and I haven't seen anything in the press. Is this relative anonymity deliberate on your part?
I've never been much of a self promoter. It's not something I'm comfortable with. That's not to say I don't have a terrible ego, it's more that I tend to forget to join in with the other children and I'm prone to laziness. I've also played under a few different names too, so there's not been much for others to hold on to.
How long ago was it that you started making music?
In my early teens I used to play drums in bands with friends and loved bands like Huggy Bear, a lot of the riot grrrl stuff and early '80s Rough Trade like The Raincoats and Young Marble Giants. I was writing songs just by singing the other, so I thought it would be easier to learn guitar. I used to play my brother's when he was out. It was just through necessity, though – I needed chords to play under the words, just something to carry them in. I still have no interest in technical musicianship. It's neither here nor there... this is an objective point of view.
Your music to me sounds very honest, and seems to wear its heart on its sleeve. You paint don't you? Do you approach your other art in the same, honest, way?
Yes, I hope so. It's not a philosophy as such, just the way things turn out. I couldn't stand putting on an American accent or pretending I was a nihilist. Those sort of approaches don't do anyone any good.
In that sense, I can hear a lot of band's like Television Personalities in the music, and I saw you playing drums at the Barfly last year when they played there. Are you still playing drums with Television Personalities? What's it like working with Dan Treacy?
No, John Bennett the original drummer plays with them now. I just played on the last album My Dark Places and at a few gigs. A lot of the time it was very chaotic and I just tried to muddle through. I'm not very good at keeping time.
Where do your songs come from?
Who knows? I would imagine it's a mix of personal history, present situations, future dreams and a library of other people's music. It's not something that you can pin down. Maybe it's the spirit world or Argos.
Do you think they would've sounded the same if they'd been recorded in New York, or Brazil, or anywhere other than London?
Well, the sound was particular to where I recorded them because of the equipment and instruments in the studio; almost none of it was mine. J.P. Buckle, who recorded and produced most of them, has a particular sound I love; he has such a great touch, letting everything breathe. In the past I have always drenched my music in reverb and he loves reverb too. As far as would the outside environment affect the record... it's hard to say as most studios are the same: horrid, dank rooms closed off from the world and in half light. But this seems to work well. I guess Brazilian weather might make for a more stress-free person to shut the studio door.
Do you think there is a future for ghosts in London as all the old buildings are lost to shiny, glass monoliths?
I actually quite like a lot of new buildings. It is a shame we can't have both, though, but I certainly can't stomach too much romanticising over old and broken things. There's too much safety in being overly sentimental. It's much healthier to be driven by what new beautiful thing could be made.
Mathew Sawyer has been listening to these records recently:
Vic Chesnutt - Little
Michael Hurley - Armchair Boogie
Terry Riley - In C
Castanets - Cathedral
Dock Boggs - Complete Early Recordings
Richard Brautigan - Listening to Richard Brautigan
Blue Birds Blood is out now on the net through Catbird Records (review) and the band are looking for a decent UK label to help them with a full UK release.
You can hear songs from it at the band's Myspace, if you like. There are some gigs scheduled for the months ahead, but Mathew's martial arts prowess seems to have thrown a spanner in the works in regards to that, so I guess you should probably keep going back to Myspace for updates.

The Adversary
A True Story of Monstrous DeceptionBook - 2000
"On the Saturday morning of January 9, 1993, while Jean-Claude Romand was killing his wife and children, I was with mine in a parent-teacher meeting." So Emmanuel Carrere, acclaimed master of psychological suspense, begins this riveting tale of unfathomable deception. Who could have imagined Romand as a murderer? He was, after all, a noted physician at the World Health Organization, a groundbreaking researcher with connections to international humanitarians, a financial wizard entrusted with his in-laws' savings, a loving son who called his parents every evening. If there was a problem, no one knew it. As it turned out, there were many: Romand had no medical degree; he had no job; he knew no one famous; he had spent his in-laws' money. And when a relative went to break the terrible news about Romand's wife and children to his parents, they too were dead -- murdered by the stranger who had been their son.
A mesmerizing account of the hundreds of daily lies that propelled one man's life, The Adversary -- another name for the Devil in the Bible -- is also a meditation on the mystery of identity, evil, and the desperate logic by which it is easier to kill than to confess.

This would have made an excellent magazine article... I don't read a lot of true crime; this one just didn't come together for me. The author was too much a character in the story, I felt. Also the way the chronology was used, all suspense was removed from this horrible event- meh...
This is the true story of a monster who killed his family rather than have his deceptions uncovered. He is a passive person, afraid of confrontation who achieves something of what he wants through the notoriety of his trial and having this book written about him. Unfortunately, psychologically, it is not that insightful.

White Balsamic Vinaigrette + GIVEAWAY
A few years ago, I officially became That Girl Who Doesn't Buy Salad Dressings.
Well, never say never, make that the girl who very rarely buys salad dressings. Every now and then I cave for a new and interesting bottle at the store. But I hardly ever finish it in time, partly because it's hard to get through a whole bottle in time (one of the joys of being single!), and partly because I usually just figure out how to make it myself. Plus, making homemade salad dressings is ridiculously quick and easy. And you can have full control over the fat and flavor. And you don't have to worry about any pesky processed ingredients sneaking their way in there.
So today I thought I'd pop in with a quick post about my favorite homemade salad dressing of the year — this White Balsamic Vinaigrette. It basically tastes just like the traditional balsamic vinaigrette that we all love. But instead of turning your salad all brown, the white balsamic vinaigrette lets the vibrant colors shine through.
And speaking of vibrant colors — I have a really fun giveaway to share with you today inspired by the "Vibrant" SaladSavors from DeLallo Foods, including gifts from Kate Spade, Food52, TOMS, and more. So be sure to scroll down and enter for a chance to win!
If you have been around the blog or my Instagram this past year, you have probably heard me gush about how SaladSavors have become one of my favorite meal shortcuts in the kitchen. They are gourmet salad toppings made simple in these cute little kits. And I am obsessed with them.
All you have to do is grab some lettuce, sprinkle on some toppings, drizzle on some dressing, and within minutes, a gourmet salad is ready to go. No need to buy an entire carton of cheese, or a big bag of dried fruit. Each of the toppings are perfectly portioned for a bag of salad greens. Or if you're single like me, they work perfectly when spaced out over a handful of individual servings.
SaladSavors come in all sorts of various flavors, including:
- Zesty Feta (feta cheese, Calamata olives, roasted red peppers)
- Sharp Asagio (asagio cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts)
- Fresh Goat Cheese (goat cheese, dried cranberries, walnuts)
- Bold Gorgonzola (gorgonzola cheese, dried pears, walnuts)
My favorite is Vibrant, which includes dried cherries, blue cheese, and pecans. And my favorite quick and easy dressing to go with it is — you guessed it — this White Balsamic Vinaigrette.
I have to be honest that I didn't totally understand that white balsamic vinegar even existed until a few years ago. But as soon as I whisked some into a vinaigrette, I knew that it was going to be a game changer with my salads.
You see, I love a good balsamic vinaigrette. But the food stylist in me used to get so annoyed when tossing a beautiful colorful salad with balsamic and watching it all instantly turn…brown. So much brown with traditional balsamic. Sure, it still tastes good. But when I have a particularly colorful salad, I have really enjoyed having the white balsamic option. Or as DeLallo calls it, golden balsamic.
To make the white balsamic vinaigrette, simply combine some good-quality olive oil, white/golden balsamic vinegar, sweetener (I used honey), salt and pepper and Italian seasonings. If you want some extra flavor, you could also add in some minced garlic. Then whisk them all together until combined….
…and drizzle the vinaigrette all over your salad without turning it brown. Brilliant? Brilliant.
So here's how to make it! And also, be sure to scroll below for a chance to enter our SaladSavors giveaway!
When you don't want to drizzle your salad with dark balsamic dressing, try this simple recipe for a White Balsamic Vinaigrette. Whisk all ingredients together for 30 seconds or until blended. If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

So funny, my mom never bought salad dressing and I seriously thank her for it to this day. Also, I am out of white balsamic and have been meaning to buy more – we use it to dress raviolis for the boys because it doesn't turn the pasta brown like regular balsamic! Thanks for the reminder. :)
I love goat cheese so I would definitely pick that one.
I've never seen the SaladSavors before but now I must seek them out! I love love LOVE salads and like you, I never buy salad dressing. Homemade balsamic vinaigrette is what I always make but it is always brown and while it doesn't bother me often, it's nice to know there's a white balsamic vinegar out there for when it does. I'm not sure if I knew that or not. I know it's silly but I love the heck out of this post!
this salad looks awesome! love the thought of keeping the colors bright :)
My wife will love this vinagrette ! I will give a try and let you know.
I am totally obsessed with making my own dressings too. I have a condiment hoarding problem and not having a zillion bottles of salad dressing allows more room for interesting condiments in my fridge door. :)
The salad looks amazing, Yummy! :)
mmmmm. Sharp sounds amazing, the others sounds good too, but I would first try Sharp. Thank you for the generous give-away offer!
The Sharp Asagio sounds like it would be my favorite.
I think I'd like to give the sharp a try first, but all sound yummy.
My Hubby is the one in the family that makes fantastic dressings! I'll pass this recipe to him! The Salad Savors sound fantastic! I'd love to try the Fresh one.
I'm always looking for ways to spice up a salad mix! This looks amazing!
I don't buy salad dressing anymore, either. It just tastes so good to make your own. I am excited to find out about these products. The brown of balsamic vinegar has bothered me, too. I think I would start with the blue cheese and pear salad toppings. Thanks so much for this post!
Yum! I love the white balsamic!
I would love to try the Sharp variety!!
I just did a refrigerator purge and found a few bottles of salad dressing far older than I care to admit – there's three salad eaters in this house and even we can't finish the occasional bottle that we do happen to buy. Haven't tried the DeLallo vinegars – I'll have to add them to my shopping list to try!
Zest Feta SaladSavors sounds good.
Those little packets are perfect! There's only two of us in my household, so we have the same problem of NEVER going through all that cheese, dried fruit, and nuts! That dressing looks great, too, I've never purchased golden/white balsamic before…I'm intrigued!
Where do you buy all of your DeLallo products? I am in Topeka, and have only found a very few things. I would like to pick some up the next time I am in KC. Thanks for any help. And thanks for all the great recipes!
I'd be most interested in trying Sharp Asagio (asagio cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts). It sounds very good.
Hi Ali1 Just read about you in the KCStar article and ran right over to find your blog! Love it and love the fact you live here in KC!
I never heard of white balsamic until well, reading your post right now! Now I must find this wonderful vinegar so I can make this dressing. Totally drooling over it and that salad right now!
Yay, love your recipes they come out exactly like they should! You save me in the kitchen every time, you're amazing!! :) I love vibrant salads, they are that much healthy packed! Im making your variety this Thanksgiving with your homemade recipe for dressing!!!
We eat a salad every night with dinner. This dressing will be a welcome change to the store bought ones. I think I would try the Fresh. Thanks for all your recipes.
I've never heard of this awesome salad addition – but I think today I feel like I would gravitate toward the sharp asiago and I am definitely going to make your blondie dressing ! TFS
The BOLD sounds absolutely amazing!
I'm most excited about Bold!
I would love the gorgonzola!
Ha! My friends were just over the other day and one of them brought a salad but no dressing. She said, "You have dressing, right?" Umm… ha!
Then they proceeded to make fun of me for only having one bottle of fattoush dressing — no ranch, no thousand island, no french or italian.
But I'm with you! Whipping up a dressing is so easy and tastes soooo much better. This one looks like a great one to have in the arsenal!
Yum! I surprisingly have all the ingredients necessary to make this salad dressing! I just have to get through my sesame ginger dressing and then I'll make this one :)
I bought a bottle of white balsamic vinegar awhile ago but have yet to use it because everything I think of I like being able to see the brown balsamic. I too rarely buy salad dressings so it looks like I have found the key!
They all sound quite delicious, but I am partial to feta and kamalata olives so Zesty would be one I'd try first.
The balsamic vinegrette looks so appetizing, I'm gonna go to the kitchen right now and start prepping this wonderful vitamin bomb! Get everything in a jar and you will have a healthy lunch in the office as well!
I absolutely love this dressing . If I make a large amount, how long is it good for?
Thank you
Made it, loved it, Ate it all up!!!! thanks, sheila

Always sand in the direction of the grain pattern where possible, ensuring the removal of any blemishes and glue residue prior to the application of Fiddes Supreme Wax. Take care to remove all traces of sanding dust and test the chosen Fiddes Supreme Wax shade on a similar substrate to verify the colour. A coat of Fiddes Shellac Sealer is recommended on open grained woods prior to application. Application Take a clean cotton cloth, sponge or brush and apply in the direction of the wood grain where possible. To obtain a uniform colour, always wipe evenly, blending the Supreme Wax over the whole surface area by exerting a small degree of pressure when applying by hand. Take care to lightly remove any excess Supreme Wax immediately with a separate, clean absorbent cloth, again following the direction of the grain pattern.

PASADENA – An Episcopal church in Pasadena has been receiving "hateful" messages from other Christians over its decision to host the annual convention of a Muslim American civil rights organization on Dec. 15, according to church leaders.
Officials from All Saints Church in Pasadena and the Muslim Public Affairs Council scheduled a news conference at the Euclid Avenue church this morning to discuss the attacks prompted by the upcoming MPAC convention, the first the group will be holding at a church.
The church has received more than 25 hate emails and threats since Friday, Rev. Susan Russell, senior associate for communications at All Saints, told The Huffington Post. One compared Islam to Nazism and called Muslims "Body Snatchers." Another quote reads, "You are Consorting with the Enemy that is Killing Christians Worldwide."
One message, sent from South Carolina, says: "The problem is that by providing cover and legitimacy to an organization dedicated to overthrowing the Constitution, and substituting Sharia law therefore, you endanger my country and my grandsons' future."
The famously liberal church is used to criticism. But All Saints rector J. Ed Bacon said in his sermon Sunday that the missives prompted by the MPAC convention were "some of the most vile, mean-spirited emails I've ever read in my life, talking about All Saints participating in terrorism," Russell reported.
The emails started after the Institute on Religion and Democracy, a conservative Christian group, on Friday published a criticism of the convention on its website, saying: "Yet again, the Islamists are taking advantage of naive Christians with a desire to show off their tolerance."
MPAC President Salam al-Marayati said he contacted All Saints about hosting the convention in order "to provide an alternative model of positive Muslim-Christian relations" and "to tell Muslims to stop speaking to themselves and start speaking to the broader American public."
He told the Huffington Post that he is working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and local police to make sure the convention, expected to be attended by around 1,000 people, turns out to be a safe event.

"I've developed this really cool product and I have applied for a patent."
"I want to show you this awesome app that I helped design."
"We've got a great idea for a website."
Those of us who work with entrepreneurs hear these types of introductions all the time when people come to meet with us. Whether it is a result of years of development and research, or a sudden inspiration that leads to a "eureka moment," these aspiring entrepreneurs have come up with what they hope to be the next big thing.
The problem is that many of these entrepreneurs have gotten the design of their business models backwards.
Rather than look to the market to tell them where opportunities are, they have come up with an idea and are trying to run full speed into the market with it.
Starting a business by trying to find a market for an already developed product usually leads to a long and often futile launch of the new venture. It results in a very expensive start-up process, as revenues tend to be very slow to materialize. Expenses just keep piling up as the entrepreneur tries to find a target market with customers who need the product.
The approach to starting a business that has the best chance of success is to look to the markets for ideas.
Start by looking at markets you already are familiar with from your knowledge, skills, and experiences. The best business opportunities come from solving everyday problems that you have observed from your previous work experiences, your hobbies, or things you see in your everyday life.
Look for groups of customers who share a common dissatisfaction with how they are being treated or who cannot find what they really want. It may be something as simple as a market that has not been given good customer service.
Look for markets that are ready to try a new product to replace the old ones they now using. That is what has led to the success of the Nashville-based app company Aloompa. Much of their growth has come in the music festival market, where their apps replace outdated printed programs.
Look for markets where something that has worked in other similar markets has not been tried in your market. That is what inspired Bob Bernstein to open Bongo Java, a neighborhood coffee shop in Nashville, that was like the ones he loved in his home town of Chicago.
Look for markets with "pain" and then develop a product or service that takes care of that "pain."
My favorite meeting with an aspiring entrepreneur is when they come to my office and say, "I have found a market that needs...."
I know they are starting down the right path to develop a business model that has a good chance of success.

Work on Waste (WOW) Anti-incineration Records
Work on Waste (WOW) Anti-incineration Records
This collection contains material primarily focusing on the contentious solid waste disposal debate in St. Lawrence County during the 1980s and early 1990's and the vehement opposition to an incineration option proposed by county leaders, organized by the environmental advocacy group Work on Waste.
Dr. Paul Connett, a chemistry professor at St. Lawrence University and his wife Ellen, formed Work on Waste with the help of other citizen environmentalists. Though the mid 80s and into 1990, WOW questioned the county's Solid Waste Authority, its consultants, the State and county lawmakers about every aspect of the incinerator project; its safety, economic viability and its effect on other ways of dealing with the waste stream, principally recycling. With WOW leading the charge, much public discontentment over the incinerator/landfill plan was generated, putting significant political pressure on the 22 member County Legislature. Following a contentious election season in the fall of 1989, the legislature voted in July of 1990 to not approve the bonding for the incinerator. The vote was 11-11, but with a weighted voting system in place, the anti-incineration forces were victorious.
The collection includes thousands of newspaper clippings that document the waste disposal struggle. Also included are documents, reports, meeting minutes, correspondence and other material from SWDA and its consultants; press statements, correspondence, meeting minutes and related material of Work on Waste; copies of legal documents, decisions, reports, depositions, correspondence and other material to and from those involved in lengthy permitting and legal proceedings.
This collection was donated to St. Lawrence University Special Collections by Paul & Ellen Connett.

How Do You Measure a Dream?
This article was originally published in nplusonemag.com. It has been adapted for YES!
It is late August, 2012. Dozens of people are sitting and standing in a circle in Tompkins Square Park, planning the actions to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street. We are literally in the same place, even under the same tree, where the assemblies to plan the initial September 17 occupation took place a year ago. There are a few of the same faces, and many, many new ones. As I stand there reflecting on what it means to be in exactly the same geographic spot, yet in an entirely different world, a young man bounces up to me. He is an artist and has played a consistent role in organizing Occupy since last summer. He almost always bounces rather than walks, and his eyes usually glisten with happiness.
"Do you think we should be depressed?" he asks, after greeting me with a long hug. His eyes are not sparkling as much as usual, and I am taken aback by the question. Depressed? Why? I had just been thinking about how far we had come.
Many people think Occupy has been a failure, he says. Hundreds of parks and plazas around the country are no longer occupied, we are no longer in the mainstream news, and people are saying that we do not have a plan.
We both agree that these seem like the wrong metrics. At the same time, what would the right ones be?
The conversation was a familiar one. In June, I traveled to Athens, Greece. Almost immediately after saying hello, a friend from a neighborhood assembly said to me, "Marina, you have to understand, the situation here is much worse. It is not like we thought it would be. We are not succeeding."
Only half the population of Athens was refusing to pay the newly imposed tax on the electric bill, he complained. And the coordination among the more than 50 neighborhood assemblies in Athens was not as concrete as it should be, and, even more frustrating, while many neighbors were coming to their local assemblies for support, some were no longer participating regularly. Maybe I looked like I was going to laugh, because he proceeded to remind me that in November of 2011, the expectations for the movement were quite high: some spoke of dual power, and others even of revolutionary situations.
By comparison, it was disappointing to have only half the population engaged in direct action and another significant sector looking to the neighborhood assembly as the local power. After a long conversation I agreed that, based on his definition of success, the movement had not "succeeded." But I also argued that this did not mean that they had been unsuccessful. What does success mean? Who decides? By what standards?
Out of the Plazas, Into the Neighborhoods
September 17, 2011, marked the beginning of a new refusal in the U.S. Joining our sisters and brothers around the globe, who in the years prior were declaring "Enough is Enough!," as in Mexico, Greece, and Egypt, and "They All Must Go!" in Argentina. Together we are not only refusing—we are not just saying no!—in each place, in ways that are unique and remarkably similar at the same time, but we are affirming ourselves and our power. This is the power of the slogans "We are the 99 percent" and "Real Democracy Ya!" It is a claim of who we are and a recognition of that power.
That's not to say the movement hasn't changed. Around the world there has been a move from the occupation of large plazas to the creation of neighborhood assemblies, weaving assemblies and actions into the fabric of everyday life. In Greece, the refusal to pay the new electricity tax is organized through local neighborhood assemblies. Then, when the electricity is cut, it is the neighborhood assembly that reconnects it. Sometimes the assembly breaks into the records office of the electric company and destroys records of debt. This is all done through local assemblies coordinating on regional levels. Similar actions are also taking place with regard to increased costs to basic health care. Again, the neighborhood assemblies block the cashiers in the hospitals so that people do not have to pay. Additionally people are organizing barter networks, through local assemblies that then have more regional connections.
Here in New York, we have seen the appearance of numerous local assemblies, which in some cases work directly to defend neighbors from evictions or to support their struggle for affordable and dignified housing, as in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Occupy assemblies have appeared in each of the college and university campuses of the public city university system in New York, coordinating together to resist cuts and proposed tuition increases, as well as to create a space for a "free university," where new forms of education and pedagogy are experimented with, led, and coordinated by students.
Throughout the United States, in large cities and small towns, people inspired by the politics and tactics of Occupy have been organizing to defend people from evictions, from the neighborhood of Bernal Heights in San Francisco to the suburbs of Minnesota and Iowa. The form is the same. Neighbors come together, sometimes going door to door, sometimes meeting in a person's home, and discuss who is at risk of foreclosure and what to do about it, often physically defending homes from eviction as well as petitioning for new terms for living in the home with the bank. Teenagers in sports jackets, mothers holding children, grandparents and neighbors and activists, all gather together to prevent an eviction or foreclosure from taking place. In most cases they win, forcing the banks to allow people to keep their homes instead of being cast out on the street.
For example, in the Bernal Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, a few neighbors came together first to help defend a longtime resident who was facing foreclosure. After a long battle, they were able to force the bank to renegotiate his mortgage to one that he could afford. From there, a number of women began a door-knocking campaign where they went house to house asking if people were facing foreclosure and if they wanted to fight. As Molly, one of the first participants in Occupy Bernal, explained:
And now we're starting think about we need to talk to people before they even get into foreclosure, because the more time we have the better it is, if we're really trying to save people's homes... A lot of people were skeptical at first, but there are people who've gotten their loans modified through work that we've done. Their home would have been auctioned off; they would have been evicted. We feel like we're doing something for our neighbors at least. And one thing that I found out, once we started at who was in foreclosure—we found out who they were: they were almost all people of color. This is a very diverse neighborhood, but I would say most of the people who live here were white people; so that people of color were the ones who the bank targeted for these bad loans. So it feels to me like—this is the main reason that I'm active in this—that the face of my neighborhood is getting changed every day by the banks, these big banks that made fraudulent loans to my neighbors. I'm just outraged.
Similar stories are being told throughout the United States, and many housing defenses are taking place that I am sure are not known about because they are not in the media or even the alternative press. As Molly and others from Occupy Bernal explain, they began to organize to defend their neighbors. It was and is the most basic thing to do—to speak with the person living next to you and organize together. This sort of direct action, facilitated by neighborhood assemblies, is part of what Occupy has inspired. This is where Occupy has come in less than a year.
Workers, We Have Your Backs
Within workplaces the movement is still beginning, but the relationship of the Occupy movement to those involved in labor struggles is deepening and profound. Labor laws that threaten workers for taking action on the job have created such fear that there is often little fighting back within a workplace during business hours. However, the relationship between workers in struggle and movement participants has begun to change that. For example, in Kensington, the Brooklyn neighborhood where I live, a local community group is working together with the new Occupy in the neighborhood to support workers' efforts to organize a union at a grocery store called Golden Farms. The workers themselves fear losing their jobs, so they do not join the picketing and flyering outside, but the movement has been successfully keeping neighbors from shopping in the store and is increasing the pressure on the owners to recognize workers' rights.
Just last week, workers have won at Hot and Crusty, a cafe on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where they have been organizing a union for almost a year. This victory would not have taken place without the support of community groups, labor, and Occupy. Workers from the café began coming to Occupy meetings last fall, and maintained pressure inside the workplace with the support of the community and the movement. When the café's owners locked the workers out, movement participants maintained an ongoing action outside the café, handed out food and coffee on a donation basis, and educated the neighborhood as to what was taking place. Finally, the owners agreed to recognize the union and will reopen the café as a union shop.
These are huge victories that demonstrate the powerful relationship between workers in struggle and Occupy. Similarly, in Spain, when there is a struggle and workers ask for support, movement participants will sometimes physically block all people from entering a workplace so that it is effectively shut down, even if the workers cannot "legally" strike. In this way direct action by the movement directly supports the struggle of the workers, yet without placing the workers in any danger.
Measuring the Movement by Our Own Standards
There is no question as to the amount of Occupy-inspired actions across the country. What I have mentioned above is only the tip of the iceberg. But more important than making a list of what is happening under the umbrella of Occupy is how it is all taking place. People are coming together in horizontal assemblies and deciding what to do. No one is waiting on a political party or a boss or leader to come and tell them what to do and how, but we are looking to one another and figuring it out together. It is not about asking but about doing. It is from a point of affirming our power together and not from a position of weakness.
In Argentina, ten years after the popular rebellion, an interesting phenomenon arose with regard to the question of success of the movements. Young people, and even those in their thirties, who were generally teens or in their twenties during the rebellion, have begun to refer to themselves as hijos (children) of the "19th and 20th."
What they mean by this is not that they became political during the rebellion of December 19 and 20, 2001, though many of them did. What they mean is that the way that they organize today, with assemblies, using the non-hierarchical organizing principle of horizontalidad, was created by the rebellion. What it means to be a child of the 19th and 20th lies in the forms of social relationships and the seeing of means as a part of the ends. Nicolas and Gisela, two movement participants explained this as follows in 2010: "[We say] we are the children of 2001 because we were formed by everything we lived within the assemblies, the factories, and everything that happened in the streets. It is there that we learned these cooperative principles of horizontalidad."
Can You Measure a Dream?
Social movements are made up of people. People with ideas and dreams, dreams for themselves, dreams for the collective, and dreams for the movements and the world. Sometimes these movement dreams and goals measure up with those of social scientists who study movements and claim to know what a successful movement is. Which I guess is like saying they know the dreams of the movement participants. Some theorists argue, for example, that the Occupy movement must ultimately take state and institutional power to be successful. Some Occupy movement participants, however, say that dignity and freedom in their relationships is what they desire. Who is right? Can one really argue that a movement is not successful because it did not meet the goals an outside observer has imposed on it?
Who decides success? Success has to be decided by those people in struggle, those who are fighting or organizing for something.
The success of a movement must depend on the goals and feelings of its participants, not those studying them or desiring to lead them. In fact, it is against this way of thinking and organizing that the Occupy movement was born. It was a rupture with people telling us what to do and how to do it. This includes not only governments and politicians, but also left political parties, journalists, and scholars.
One year after Occupy, we have a success already. When people begin to organize all over the country they are doing so with assemblies, struggling against hierarchy, thinking about the question of leadership and power, and trying to create ways where all can be leaders. When people are organizing today it might not always be with the word Occupy, but the spirit of assemblies, direct action, and creating power together is there for sure. The mark of Occupy is there for sure.

Australia v Argentina, Rugby Championship
Argentina to unleash muscle on Wallabies
September 10, 2013
Pumas prop Marcos Ayerza is aiming to push the Wallabies pack around on Saturday © Getty Images
Argentina will attempt to deliver a psychological blow to the Wallabies by winning the vital scrum battle in Saturday night's Test in Perth.
The Wallabies were battered from pillar to post by South Africa last weekend, with the Springboks dominating the breakdown and scrum to secure a 38-12 win in Brisbane.
Argentina's forward pack performed well in last Saturday's 28-13 loss to the All Blacks, and prop Marcos Ayerza said the Pumas needed to make the most of their renowned physicality if they are to notch an upset win over the Wallabies.
"I feel the modern game hasn't given the scrum the importance it needs," he said. "You've seen over the last five or 10 years how many teams have put the ball in and out (of the scrum) and just played it as a platform and not as a psychological dominance. It's a way of getting penalties. I think the scrum is such a unique formation and a unique part of the game. It's amazing how it influences the psychological domination."
Ayerza said although flashy backline play was entertaining to watch, a pushover try was just as effective.
"A pushover scrum is five points, same as 20 phases of fancy game," the 42-Test veteran said. "I prefer having the adrenaline and satisfaction of a pushover scrum. A good scrum dominance is second to none. Both teams will be focused on that area. It will be a great contest and I feel nervous about it. I think one of our big strengths that gives us confidence is playing the physical game - the tight forward game. We pride ourselves in that area."
Argentina haven't beaten the Wallabies since recording an 18-16 win in Buenos Aires in 1997. Their sole victory in Australia came in 1983, when they posted an 18-3 triumph in Brisbane.

Jacoby Jones and Karina Smirnoff have the foxtrot for tonight's "Best Year of Your Life" theme. I'd say it's pretty darn hard to top the year he's having THIS year. Can they foxtrot to Fatboy Slim's "Right Here Right Now"?
He says 2012 was the best year of his life not just because of the Super Bowl but also because his son was born. He says he always wanted his child to be proud of him. Jacoby says his own father left when he was only 2 years old and that if his dad walked into the studio right now, he wouldn't know what he looked like. He tried to reach out and contact him, but doesn't think his dad can "face him like a man."
When Karina asks him what he enjoys most about being a dad, he says, "It's a piece of yourself, something you made," and adds, "I want to watch him grow up, the right way." They're dancing to Rodney Atkins' "Watch You Grow Up."
Jacoby's struggling with the foxtrot and says it's the most difficult he's had. He calls out at the end of his interiew, "This foxtrot is for you, Junior."
As disappointed as I am that Jacoby is not shirtless, he's looking quite dapper in gray dress pants with a matching vest, white dress shirt and pink tie to match Karina's floral dress.
His posture isn't perhaps as disciplined as a foxtrot should really be. He gets a big solo stretch in the middle of the song that even involves kicking up his heels. And what appear to be some country line dancing moves. Now THAT was unexpected.
After the dance, we saw Jacoby's mom holding his son on her lap. She's on the verge of tears and fanning herself to stay calm. Junior's cool as a cucumber and dressed to the nines. I'm in awe of how cute this kid is.
Carrie Ann says it looks like Junior is proud of him. And Jacoby proudly proclaims that, "He looks just like his daddy." Carrie Ann says she's going to give him some advice because she thinks he could win this thing. She cautions Jacoby that because of the height difference between him and Karina, when he leans down to compensate for it, his butt sticks out a little bit.
Len says he was a fan of that foxtrot, even though he wasn't sure about the solo. Bruno says he was "trotting at full throttle." Bruno goes a little nuts with his hand gestures and then turns around and warns Jacoby that sometimes HIS hands turn into spatulas.
Brooke asks Jacoby what he hopes his son will think when he's older and rewatches tonight's routine. Jacoby answers, "'My daddy took chances on life and succeeded so I'm going to do it, too.'" Every woman in the ballroom simultaneously ovulates.
Scores: Carrie Ann 8; Len 8; Bruno 8.
Brooke says that's the high score of the night so far. If they'd been scoring "cuteness of kid" they'd need paddles that go to 11 for Jacoby Jr.

Retiring Chicago Priest Refuses to Leave Rectory
(CHICAGO) -- A Chicago parish is in turmoil because its beloved priest has balked at his impending removal from the Catholic Church rectory, while his incoming successor, who says he was attacked by a staff member, admits that he shares some of the blame for the disruption.
The Rev. Daniel Mallette, a civil rights and anti-poverty activist, has lived at St. Margaret of Scotland rectory since 1977, but the Chicago Archdiocese ordered him to move out earlier this year because it is in need of repair and is now considered unsafe for the frail but spry reverend. Mallette, 80, was brutally beaten on the church's property by robbers late last year; he recovered from the incident and soon returned to St. Margaret's.
It is part of established church governance in Chicago that a departing pastor lives off the premises for six months after the new pastor arrives, so he can get settled and establish his leadership. The deadline for Mallette to leave the church came and went Monday, and he has yet to vacate.
"I would love to stay where I'm at, and I thought when you became a pastor emeritus, this new pastor would come in and run the parish and I wouldn't interfere with anything," Mallette told ABC News affiliate WLS-TV.
Mallette said the cardinal previously told him that he would be able to reside at the rectory until he dies. But now, he says, the cardinal denies having told him that.
"There was a time I thought that was what he said," Mallette told ABC News Wednesday. "He's a good man, and he's suffering. He says he didn't say it. I thought I heard him say that I could stay here. It could be that I didn't hear it correctly."
Colleen Dolan, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Archdiocese, told the Chicago Sun-Times that repairs on the rectory that were scheduled to begin on Monday have now been delayed.
The kerfuffle over Mallette's departure comes as conflict grows between senior staff at the church's school and the new parish priest, the Rev. William O'Donnell, who arrived at St. Margaret's three months ago.
Rickey Harris, the principal of St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic School, sent a letter to church families on Tuesday announcing his resignation. He mentioned his treatment by the Office of Catholic Schools and his "recent suspension by Fr. William O'Donnell."
"The unfortunate events of these last few weeks have caused me to pause and reflect on who I am, my purpose, and whether or not I will allow myself to be disrespected, my integrity questioned and reputation that I have worked so hard to build to be stained with deception and untruths," Harris wrote, adding that O'Donnell questioned his commitment to those he serves.
O'Donnell, however, told WLS on Tuesday that it is he who has been subjected to intimidation since his arrival at St. Margaret's, and that a now-suspended school staff member lunged at him twice.
"I was physically intimidated and, in fact, other teachers in the room stepped between us to stop it," O'Donnell said.
Principal Harris told ABC News that he was not present at the time of the alleged altercation, but he was surprised when he heard about it. Although O'Donnell says he was almost attacked, he believes he must share some of the blame over how his arrival at the church has played out, he said.
"It would be very arrogant of me to think I was not somehow part of the problem; that perhaps I didn't do this correctly," O'Donnell said.
Mallette has also chimed in on O'Donnell, calling him arrogant and even a bully, WLS reported. When asked about his successor during one interview, Mallette reportedly broke into a rendition of the folk song "Plastic Jesus."

Career Lessons From Olympians
Struggling with balance in the workplace? Take a cue from Shaun White.
Continue Reading Below
White, a professional snowboarder, is arguably one of the biggest stars in this year's Olympic Games in Sochi, and fans were likely disappointed when he announced Thursday he would not be participating in the slopestyle snowboarding competition to protect his health.
After much deliberation with my team, I have made the decision to focus solely on trying to bring home the third straight gold medal in halfpipe for Team USA," White told the TODAY show. "However, with the practice runs I have taken, even after course modifications and watching fellow athletes get hurt, the potential risk of injury is a bit too much for me to gamble my other Olympic goals on."
White is a two-time defending gold medalist in the halfpipe and will giving his full attention to a third win,
The decision couldn't have been easy, but career expert Jill Jacinto, says it demonstrates the struggle many employees have when it comes to prioritizing in the workplace. The fall out of the financial crisis has led many companies to scale back their payrolls, which means they are demanding more from current workers.
"People do tend to over commit and over promise," Jacinto says. "And at the end of the day, they come up short on both ends. You need to take a realistic look at your time, start smaller and choose when to show your strengths."
Here are a few other lessons Jacinto says workers can learn from Olympians, who start competing Friday in Russia:
No. 1: Your Reputation Matters. Olympians represent so much more than just athletic prowess, Jacinto says. "You represent your fans, your country and are a role model. It's always about acting with leadership and being your best self."
Workers' actions can reflect poorly on an employer. Tweeting a disparaging photo or blogging about another company's misstep lives online forever and speaks volumes about the poster's character. "It's making sure you maintain your personal brand and understand the impact it can have."
No. 2: Practice Every Day. The athletes competing in Sochi have trained for most of their lives to participate in the games, and workers should realize that there is no such thing as an overnight success.
"A lot of people snap their fingers and think they will immediately make a lot of money," she says. "Millennials in particular have that quality in thinking, and don't realize how much work goes into it. There is never a point in your career where you can say, 'I know it all, and I can stop learning.'"
An event like the Olympics is a great example of when hard work and practice all come together to create success, which is something every worker can learn from.
No. 3: Think Global. The Olympics bring athletes from around the world together, demonstrating the importance of respecting, absorbing and learning about others.
"You should have an open mind outside of your comfort zone," Jacinto says. "If you take this approach in the workplace, you will have a better understanding of the industry on a global scale."
No. 4: You will Fail Sometimes, Learn to Deal With It. One of the most memorable awards ceremonies from the 2012 summer games in Beijing when U.S. gymnast McKayla Maroney took the silver home for the vault event, and made her now-infamous "not impressed" face.
The way she handled her victory will long outlive how she placed in the games, Jacinto says.
"Most people might not even recall that she came in second, but will always remember that snarky face over her performance," she says. "It's a lesson to be graceful and become aware of your actions."
