""Studies have shown measurable effects on multiple body and brain systems, said Doraiswamy. Those include mood neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), reproductive hormones (testosterone), social bonding hormones (oxytocin), cognitive and pleasure related neurotransmitters (dopamine), inflammatory and immune systems (cytokines), stress hormones (cortisol), cardiac and EEG rhythms, blood pressure, and blood sugar.""

Hmm, looks like April got her answer on FB, per her update: "Update: So, I've inquired with my friends on FB and we've narrowed it down to an Easter Egger/Americauna/Sussex mix."

Not sure, backyardchicken.com has lots of pics by breed, may be able to find it there.

Camilla: "When I grow up, I'm going to go snowboarding when it's snowing outside in Utah and Thomas is going to say, 'Camilla! Camilla! What are you doing?' and I'm going to say, 'I'm snowboarding!'"
Camilla: "Mommy, I want you to drive. Not Daddy."
Me: "I'm feeling tired, Camilla. I think I'll have Daddy drive."
Camilla: "No! I want you to do it!"
Me: "Camilla, either Daddy drives or we stay home. Those are your options."

Is there a healthy school lunch delivery service out there (covering the SJ area) that can deliver food that my daughter will eat? I'm tired of putting so much effort into planning and preparing her lunch just so that I can throw it all away later...
The main factor is that by lunch time, her food is no longer fresh. For instance, she asked for a grilled cheese sandwich, so I made one for her, cut it up and put it in her thermos to keep warm. The good part is that it stays warm, the not so good part is that it gets all soggy and mushy and just plain unappetizing. Good thing my chickens were more than happy to eat it all up, but boy, what a waste of time and energy.

'Ahmal and the Night Visitors' is a tender, heart-warming story of a poor shepherd boy, his devoted mother, and three night visitors. It was written specifically for young minds and remains an inspiring story of faith, charity, unselfish love, good deeds and miracles.

I'm still ever so glad that I found this hidden gem of a school. South Bay parents, if you're looking for a nurturing, creative school environment where your child's natural love of learning and curiosity can be fostered and enriched, this Waldorf-inspired school is the place to be.
- April Buchheit
And by the way, after the NYT article, the school is getting media inquiries like crazy from around the world, and tons of TV coverage too. I see news crews doing profiles practically daily. Waldorf is about to get a ton of mainstream exposure.

Camilla: "I want more bacon! Where's the bacon?"
Me: "The bacon is inside of you, Camilla."
Paul: "Yes. Do not look outside yourself for bacon, Camilla. The bacon is within us all."
"I highly suggest reading this: http://www.amazon.com/Rick-St... This was our bible when the husband and I went backpacking through (Western) Europe for 5 weeks. We started out in Barcelona, then Cannes, rented a car and drove around the mountains in Southern France, dropped the rental off at St. Tropez, took the train to Nice, Venice, Interlaken (Switzerland), took a gondola up to Gimmelwald (stayed at an awesome hostel there), continued to Zurich, then Munich, then Lingen (to visit with the husband's relatives), Amsterdam, Loire Valley, Paris, and then London. And yes, definitely get a Eurail pass and take advantage of staying in hostels."

This illustration shows the alien planet around pulsar PSR J1719-1438, where ultra-high pressures caused carbon to crystallize in the remnant of a dead star. The planet is made of diamond and orbits a dense pulsing star with a radius smaller than that of our sun."
