Enriching Our Children's Lives Through Food
I grew up in the apple orchards of western Washington. From the time I was 3 though high school, if I wanted an apple and it was late spring, summer, or fall, I just walked out the back door and picked one. I ate them tart to sweet, but always fresh off the tree. Year around, I had wonderful homemade applesauce.
Once I moved out and had to buy my apples, I soon discovered that the apples in the store were often inferior to those I had grown up with. One of my favorite apples growing up, the golden delicious, is the worst. It is never crisp, and seems to be a shadow of those freshly picked apples of my youth. To a greater or lesser degree, that is true of all the apple varieties. Fortunately, I can still make a good applesauce with them, almost as tasty as my childhood memories.
It doesn't matter if you live in an apple orchard or the city, you can still make a quick and simple applesauce that tastes wonderful. For me, this applesauce brings me back to my childhood. The guide varies ever so slightly depending on your source of apples. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Simple City Applesauce
Homegrown Applesauce
If you happen to have a good source of apples, such as when I get some of my dad's Pink Lady organic apples, you can make an even better applesauce. Follow the directions above; using just the high quality apples you have instead of a mix of apples. If you are lucky enough have clean apples (not sprayed with stuff you don't want to eat), you can even up the nutritional value by leaving the skin on the apples. If you do this, you will want to blend it and sift it at the end to break up the apple skin. This applesauce can be canned or frozen for later use.
I hope you enjoy your applesauce, I know I do.
As you know, Samantha took an interest in cooking by the time she turned 1. Now at 18 months, she loves to stir, measure, and place items for cooking (with my help). She wants to help me slice, which presents a problem. I will not hold Samantha when slicing food since I don't want to hurt her. Yet, not only does she want to be with me, she wants to help. What options do I have?
As it turns out, 18 months is plenty old enough to let her start cutting, as long as I have the right tool. I found a about a 17 month old learning to cut with a wavy cutter. It seems that the Montessori approach to teaching as built up a large amount of <a href= options to teach children about food, and I stumbled onto one of them.
Excited, I headed over to Amazon to find one of these wavy cutters for myself. This is what I found:
Vegetable Crinkle Cutter and French Fry Slicer
When I got the wavy cutter, I eagerly looked at it. No sharp edge, it is designed to use pressure to cut potatoes. After making some oven baked fries cut with this, I decided to see what else it was good for. Not surprisingly, it just squished the tomatoes, but worked real well with mushrooms. So when Samantha got home from school, I had her cut some mushrooms. She loved it. While she will need to practice her new skill some, she is well on the way to helping me chop fruits and vegetables in the kitchen.
I've been doing this blog for six months now, and I absolutely love it. In that time, I have learned so much, and connected with so many wonderful people. I've also learned about the balancing act of having a blog, a full time job, and a family.
Most recently, I've had to choose between taking care of my daughter's food needs and writing articles that will help your children through food culture. You see, Samantha is showing signs of a worsening food allergy problem. I have needed to figure out how to keep her on a mostly balanced diet while putting her on an elimination diet. I will share my experience with you to help your children once I have her in a better place. Until then, I have less time to blog, or anything else. As I am sure you can understand, my Samantha comes before everything else in the world for me.
I want to ensure that you get the most possible from my limited time to blog. As such, I am going to become a bit more structured in how I am doing things, so you know exactly what to expect from me and Your Child's Food.
I have enjoyed the beginning of this journey we are taking together. This is only the beginning. Together, we can bring the Kitchen heart back into the forefront of our culture. Together, we can change everything with this one change.
Now that you know where I am at, please let me know where you are at. What has been useful to you so far, and what would you like to see in the future?
Thank you for taking this journey with me.Claire
Dinner, A Love Story is a book based on the blog by the same name. Jenny, the creator of the blog and author of the book, takes you through her path to get dinner on the table for her daughters, with everything that comes with it.
The book takes you through three stages of her adult life; learning to cook (pre-children), new parenthood (the family dinner vow), and the family dinner (older children). The stories inside are fun to read and insightful. Having a hard time with a picky eater, and not sure how to stop fighting at the dinner table? Jenny has been there, and can give you some insight. Scattered throughout the book are recipes, all very easy to make and follow.
Our family tried Baked Sausage with Apples, Potatoes, and Onions. The recipe, which featured whole new potatoes and sausage, was very easy to make. This list of ingredients was short, and there was very little chopping included. This gave me time to play with Samantha before dinner.
The seasonings included a simple array of fresh thyme, salt, pepper, cider vinegar, and mustard. As I mentioned before, I don't tend to put salt in most of my cooking, so I probably went a bit light in that area. Additionally, I tend to use more spices and herbs than others. That said my family found the flavor lighter than we desired. I would have preferred to cut the potatoes to allow the cider vinegar to soak in, and probably used twice as much of the fresh thyme and vinegar.
If you would like to try this at home, here is how:
Baked Sausage with Apples, Potatoes, and Onions
Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Combine 3 cups whole small potatoes and 1 onion (chopped in large chunks) in a large baking dish and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the leaves from 4 springs of fresh thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place 4 sweet Italian pork sausages on top of the vegetables. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, until sausage is brown on top. Using tongs, flip over the sausage and bake for 10 more minutes.
Meanwhile, chop 2 Granny Smith apples (unpeeled) and toss with a little more olive oil, salt, and pepper. Scatter the apples around the sausage, and drizzle 2 tablespoons cider vinegar over the whole dish, and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve with dollops of spicy brown or Dijon mustard.
What I love about the cookbook Twist It Up by Jack Witherspoon is the story about the accessibility and healing power of food. At the young age of six, Jack had a recurrence of leukemia, which is apparently really bad. The second time being treated was worse than the first. Jack was not able to continue with sports, and had to leave school so he could frequently stay in the hospital for four to five days a week. Talk about taking away a boy's childhood!
But Jack found one thing he could think about besides being sick – cooking. He stumbled across it will channel surfing, and found that it was something he could do, even though he was very sick, and only six years old. Jack has since decided to become a chef, and has participated in several big cooking related fundraisers to help find a cure for leukemia.
Jack finished his second round of treatment in 2009. It left him with several challenges, but with a love for cooking and a passion to make a difference. Looking at the impact both leukemia and food has had on his life, I can't help but to be in awe of the healing power this boy saw in food.
My family tried the Chicken Cacciatore recipe from the cookbook. One of the wonderful things about this cookbook is the "twist it up" note for each recipe that helps people make a meal their own. We first tried the recipe as was, and then "twisted it up" in our own way for the second night. This recipe will be making it into our regular rotation.
My husband, who prefers sausage to just about any other meat, thought it was good. Considering this had chicken instead of sausage, this is a win in my book. While I really liked the recipe, I felt it had too much salt in it. This is something you will hear me say quite often, as my family does not like much salt in our food. But the other flavors were wonderful, and really hit the spot.
Samantha loved it the first night, and tried to eat as much of the sauce as she could. The second night, the noodles, chicken, vegetables, and sauce were more evenly mixed up. Simply from being able to handle the food better, she seemed to like the dish as a whole even better.
Try Chicken Cacciatore tonight, and pick up Twist It Up for a wonderful cookbook the whole family can enjoy.
Chicken Cacciatore
Serves 4 to 6
Jack's Twist It Up
(I did not make any of these changes.)
"To make this sauce richer, add 3/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half while the chicken is simmering. Stir to be sure the mixture is well combined. This dish is terrific with pasta, but it's really good with garlic mashed potatoes (page 91), too. If you go the potato route, be sure to have some fresh green beans on the side."
My Twist
Out of necessity (what I didn't have on hand), I made a few changes to the recipe: I used boneless chicken breasts and thighs instead of the fryer chicken. I used just under 4 pounds of chicken. I was out of brown sugar, so I used some honey instead. My chopped tomatoes and chicken broth were salt free. I used whole wheat linguine pasta, and did not cook it in salt. I also forgot to add the cheese on top.
The second night, I chopped and incorporated the pasta into the sauce, as well as chopping up the chicken. This was all mixed together well and evenly. I also remembered the cheese for those who could have it.
When I make it again, I plan on keeping these changes, as well as not salting the chicken and replacing the green peppers with yellow or orange peppers (maybe one of each). Additionally, I will taste it before adding the sugar to see if it is needed after the reduction of salt in the recipe.
I hope your family enjoys this dish and this book as much as mine did.

I am excited to have a guest post from Anne at Green Eggs & Moms. I hope you enjoy the post as much as I do. (I had no idea she loved vampires like I do.)
Did you know that a grocery store's layout is based on neuroscience and marketing research?
Your grocer has one goal, and one goal alone:
To get you to buy more.
They spend a lot of money on analyzing a consumer's buying behavior, and implementing techniques that work.
But guess what? The secret is out and you can shop more wisely! What's even better is that you can educate children on how to resist marketing tactics employed by supermarkets.
So they can make better decisions when it comes to buying healthier products, as opposed to dumping sugary snacks into the cart.
Also, being baited by impulse buying means more money is spent. Don't you want your children to learn how to buy only what they need?
1. Make a list together. This acts like a battle plan. Your mission is to go in the store and only buy items on the list. This tactic thwarts impulse buying.
2. Set a time limit. A partnership between Path Intelligence and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that the longer people stay in a grocery store, the higher the sales.
So, with the help of #1, you and your child can avoid:
Now that we're done with the planning stage, it's time teach children to grab for healthy food.
3. Even if Dora is on the cereal box, it doesn't mean it's healthy. Cereals in general are healthy treats, but not if they're laced with sugar. Unfortunately, with the help of advertising, companies are making it more difficult for children to resist opting for these snacks, because of the characters displayed on the box.
A study published on the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine found that characters – well known or not – affect children's taste perception.
The simple act of placing Ronald McDonald, for example, on a snack, wires children to think the treat is delicious. And this is fine if the snack is a healthy one. What if it isn't?Teach your child to choose less sugary cereals or snacks by reading the nutrition label. (If your child is too young for this, still go through the motions and explain what you're doing.)
A great way to teach children about nutrition labels is through this online game, so you may want to check it out.
4. "Can I make this at home?"According to this article from Brain Engineering, stay away from bagged salads, protein or energy bars, pre-formed burger patties and canned tomato sauce, because they can be made at home - which will turn out to be cheaper.
Packaging does cost more so buying these items in the supermarket will cost you extra.
But price is only the secondary goal here. Remember that food items stacked on grocery shelves contain preservatives, to increase their shelf-life. And preservatives are unhealthy.
Getting your child to help prepare a salad at home, for example, not only ensures she ingests less preservatives, but also makes her more invovled and interested in her food.
Note: The "Can I make this at home?" question is designed to help you reflect on whether you have the time to make packaged food items at home or not. The answer is different for everyone. Also, this isn't intended to pressure moms into creating homemade goodies all the time, especially if time is something scarce.
Remember that your goal is to teach them to shop wisely. Why? So when they reach adulthood, they can make healthier food choices and save some money along the way.
Do these 4 steps with the kiddo whenever you go to the grocery and you'll be handing down a valuable life lesson: the ability to ward-off marketing spells.
What do you think of this 4-step system?

Soup is good for the soul, and for the sick, right? I have always felt that way. But when I got a sinus infection recently that resulted in chicken noodle soup making me sick, I figured I needed to do something else. That something else took the form of two things:
It is the later item that I would like to share with you. After all, it resulted in a delicious soup that was, in fact, good for the soul and for the sick. The original recipe had some great flavors in it, but called for dairy, something I cannot eat. So I thought I would use some coconut yogurt for the yogurt, and some almonds for the parmesan. Additionally, I wanted ginger to add to the healthy effect.
These changes made me think of some great Thai variations to use with this potato based soup. Potatoes in Thai cooking, unless it is sweet potatoes, do not seem that common to me. But they sounded good to me.
I figured out the changes I wanted to make, and then thought of a variation to give Samantha (I am not about to feed my 14 month old hot sauce – as hot sauce can burn out taste buds). Instead of Sriracha hot sauce, I decided to make hers with sweet chili sauce.
So how did it turn out?
I found the soup to be very good. The potato base and the live cultures in the yogurt helped my stomach from the effects of the medication I am on. The garlic, ginger, and hot sauce helped me breath better during the meal. Additionally, the fresh greens and vegetables are natural sources of nutrients, something I really need right about now.
For Samantha, it was not a slam dunk. As she has recently acquired the skill to eat with a soup by herself, I have not made soup for her before. However, she does get to paint a fair amount. So Samantha saw this bright green soup as a wonderful paint, which just happened to taste good, and spent more time painting than eating. Considering this was her first soup, this is okay. But next time, I think I will make her soup a bit thicker, more like mashed potatoes.
Want to try this variation of the soup at home? Here is how:

"Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends."
Joseph Campbell
As we're all being deluged with by Neptune/Pisces energy (who didn't read their Stars This Week? Ahem ;)), I thought I might take a moment to give a well-deserved plug for the very Neptunian film and Oscar-contender - Life of Pi. I had read Yann Martel's book ages ago and I feel like this is one of few times where I can say I thought the move was actually better than the book. It could just be that my memory of the book has thinned out or I didn't read it at a time when I could spiritually absorb the beauty of the story ... but something about the screen adaptation was nothing short of sublime.
At first I wasn't quite lured in by the trailer. The repetitive slo-mo shot of a CG-whale jumping over a boat in the middle of the Pacific ocean wasn't quite peaking my interest. Two things were however: I had read the book and wanted to reward myself AND Ang Lee -- the director of our favorite gay cowboy movie was the director. If he brought half the poignancy he delivered in heartbreaking, compassion-provoking Brokeback Mountain, this one was worth my $13.75. It was also Super Bowl, and who watches Football?

2014 Jobs and Money Forecast.
Master your money and attain success with this startlingly accurate forecast!
I put on my 3D glasses and settled into my seat with 6 other SBXLVII-deniers for what I thought would be a fitting celebration of the Mars/Neptune conjunction in watery, magical Pisces. Wiping virtual whale water from my freckled arms when the aforementioned whale pounced couldn't feel more perfect. Word on the street was that no one believed this story could be brought to life - the book itself, according to Wikipedia, was passed over by 5 London publishers before Knopf Canada saw something the others didn't.
The main thrust of the novel was Pi's (a graceful nickname for Piscine Molitor Patel, a funny story in and of itself) struggle for survival all alone after all - save for a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Adrift on a rescue-boat after a Japanese freighter had sunk his family and their cargo of zoo animals on their to Canada from India, these two were to battle each other for dominance alongside the elements. It was an ultimate test of Pi's faith - a self-described "Catholic Muslim" and Hindu, who had been chided by his father for believing in too many Gods. Where were his Gods now? At one point after a decimating storm, the beleaguered Pi calls out to heaven (something like) "I have given you my family!!!!! I have given you everything!!!! What more do you want?"
As Mars and Mercury conjuncts the watery trident Neptune this week and Mercury enters Pisces, astrology would predict we too could relate to that point of breaking; where the real world doesn't capitulate to our will ... where there is at once confusion and a merging with the divine in the areas of willpower and action (Mars) and perception, communication and ideas (Mercury). This cosmic line-up is about the surrender to that larger-than-our-life force, whether it's to the creative process, an inner spaciousness or your experience of God or faith. There is a an opening of the self which allows us to discover a sacred beauty even and especially amidst what makes us feel the most vulnerable and raw. Everything is a matter of perception which sometimes seems our only modicum of control, especially during slippery Neptune times. When Pi protests that the tiger has a soul, his dad admonishes: "what you see in the eyes of the tiger, is your own reflection." Maybe so … and what you believe usually stares back at you as your experience.
Before I blather on how cute CG-meerkats are (and CG-animals in general) … consider seeing the film. It's 2 hours of pure-hearted entertainment and mind-blowing creativity … and good medicine for the magical Pisces/Neptune adrift in the ether this week. We're all advised to consciously zone-out and create enough space for some divine inspiration.

text: ISO-MRP STRATEGY: Custom-Engineered Bodybuilding Super Food For serious bodybuilders and athletes, the notion of eating just three "square meals" a day is not an option. That's because eating more often, up to five or six meals per day, provides a wide range of benefits that help active inpiduals reach even higher fitness levels. Frequent eating revs up the metabolism due to food's "thermic" effect; helps maintain peak energy levels by aiding blood-sugar balance; and promotes increases in lean tissue by regulating insulin levels and providing a steady flow of amino acids into muscle cells. ISO-MRP TACTICS: Increase Meal Frequency, and Provide Maximum Nutrition to Reinforce Improvements in Body Composition While it's true that adding supplemental meals to a structured, whole-food eating regimen offers a whole host of benefits, the actual bodybuilding nutritional value of the extra meals is even more critical. To reap the full advantage of eating five to six meals per day, the Research & Development Team at Nutrabolics have designed ISO-MRP, a nutrient-dense food source that delivers ultra-premium isolate proteins, designer organic complex carbohydrates, fiber and health-promoting essential fatty acids in a convenient, easy-to-use drink mix. Simply put, combined with a vigorous weight-training program, ISO-MRP is a surefire way to increase your energy levels, speed recovery, protect and promote building lean tissue, and minimize bodyfat storage.

Eyes in the Backfield-Jaguars
18 Things to Watch for During Sunday's Colts/Jaguars Game
I'm so tired of these clowns.
Last week, the Colts won a tough road game and their reward this week is another trip to Jacksonville. It's been a few years since Luke and I traveled down to the 'Hole for a Monday Night game, and since then the Colts have made a habit out of beating the Jags in prime time. Will they fare so well in the late afternoon? This week be watching for:
1. Watch the master. Peyton Manning is almost always great, and this year he's playing the best ball of his life. When Peyton goes to Jacksonville, however, you really have to watch out. Ever since the 2006 beat down, Manning has taken it upon himself to dominate the Jags in Jacksonville. Since 2007, Manning has 8 TDs, 2 picks and a rating of 120.5 in Jacksonville. Not coincidentally, Indy has won all three games.

Women have come a long way since the suffragist movement. They have climbed peaks, explored deep oceans, fought shoulder to shoulder -- on battlefields and in boardrooms, shaken establishments, and achieved outstanding success in various roles.
Yet, women continue to be treated as second-class citizens. Many women face sexual harassment in the workplace, and at home. At the workplace, women receive lower remuneration than their male counterparts. In many cases, women miss out on job opportunities due to gender discrimination.
Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan said, "When women thrive, all of society benefits, and succeeding generations are given a better start in life." The path to progress is two-sided. You can't move forward when half of the population is treated unjustly.
This Women's Day make it a mission to fight for the cause of women. A small effort can go a long way. Start by posting International Women's Day quotes on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites. Celebrate the women in your life, and recognize their effort.

I purchased this Vise to use on my drill press for smaller items. It is well build, solid construction. I like the fact that if the plates in the vise ever get damaged, you can remove them with the set screws and make a new set. Only draw back is that its designed for the larger drill presses. It is heavy too but that is to be expected. Its worth the money.

I was attempting to drill holes in a pipe to fabricate a gas ignitor pipe for my fireplace, but had problems. The vise allowed me to safely, accurately and in a controlled manner complete the drilling process. I am pleased with the end result. My first attempt, without the vise, was not only unsafe but a failure.

The best feature about this vise compared to other similar models available is that the handle is a solid unit and not a cheap rod with a soon to break rivet holding it together. If you don't need a well built vise,then you can find one of similar features for about half price. I like to pay one time and have the product last.

Very good quality for the money and far better than I could have bought locally at other discount tool stores. The vises in discount tool stores are poor quality with very poor machining, unlike this Craftsman Drill Press Vise. I am very pleased with the quality of the product and it will serve my hobby needs for my entire hobby lifetime. Very good tight slides which will result in high quality machining I plan on using it for after I get settled into my new apartment. Does not make much noise, so it will be an asset to my hobby creativity and building large scale radio controlled model airplanes from scratch using plans. Always wanted to drill precise perpendicular holes into wood and metal. Now I have what I need to do that with quality and accuracy in mind. Being a machinest for over 5 years allows me to use the product with the utmost care and creativity. Thank you Sears.

I've been struggling with my 4" import vise to drive a line of holes (6) in 3/4 x 1/4 x 13" flat stock. I paid #12.99 for my old Grandpa Pigeon's machinist vise and it was just not possible to do quick repetative work. I even made a new set of jaws for it. No matter, it was just plain bad. I just bought a RIGID 16" DP15501 and needed something not too heavy but stout enough to do steel work. I had borrowed a Schweisger machinist vise but at 76lbs it was too big and too heavy. No luck there. Today, I visited the Sears Tool store and got the 4" machinist vise for $46.00 with discount. (1) its got the guide rod underneath, so the jaws move evenly to each other without tipping. (2) the ways are better ground with no pits so the action in/out is very smooth. Grinding on the jaws is just as good. Whoever ground them took time or had a better setup. (This vise came from China too!) (3) I didn't think I would like the clamping handle, since I wanted something that was quick open/close. Despite this, the jaw movement is so precise that with little clamping pressure my stock sits tight and flat. (4) the jaws are held with 2 6mm x1.0 SHCS so making new jaws should be a snap. All around, I was very impressed. In most low-cost vise reviews, the owners start by saying, "dissassemble, clean and use loctive when re-assembling" Not here. Just a little shot of WD40 and I was good to go. My only negative is the use of one guide rod in the middle, rather than two guide rods...so if you drill too deep..you may ruin the rod. Second negative is the thin jaws. They are not hardened..(could have used spring or brake steel!) I will have to make a new set anyways..but I couldn't find anywhere, much less Sears where you could buy blanks or replacements. Only 4 out of 5 for the single rod and non-hardned jaws. Still a great low cost vise without suffering the disgust and angst of struggling with a true import.

Bought a drill press, but did not know how I was going to work on my project safely, so added this vise to my order. Can't tell you how wise a decision that was! Set up the drill press, added the vise (would have been nice to have included attachment bolts), and set up my jig. Worked great, did not lose any fingers (always a plus), and made my life sooo much easier. This unit is well built, tightens firmly, and looks great, actually should be priced a little higher (but don't tell Sears ;) Ordered thinking it would probably work out for this short project, but I was very surprised by the quality and value. Don't think twice about picking one up.

A really nice simple vise at an excellent price. The vise is heavy, well constructed and has smooth jaw movement. Came with a parts manual and hex keys for the hardware. Bought this vise for work use but think I may get one for home too.

Angel Dare isn't your average crime-novel protagonist: an aging porn star who now runs her own talent agency, she has a mouth like a sailor but worries about her gray hair and crow's feet. When an old friend asks her to come out of on-camera retirement, she's flattered and agrees—but soon finds herself locked in a trunk and left for dead. Her journey of vengeance, abetted by enigmatic bodyguard Lalo Malloy, is a trip through the dark side of sunny California and tests her devil-may-care view of the business of sex. Faust, said to be a former model and Times Square peep-show girl, is the first woman to write for Hard Case Crime, and it's about time. Her fresh takes on stock scenarios—expressed in indelible one-liners—bring the tough-but-vulnerable Dare to life. It's a hard-boiled crime story with a soft emotional center, and it makes a perfect addition to the Hard Case canon of old-school sensibility and new-school smarts. Here's to more femme fatales in the author's seat—and to a return engagement from Faust.

The meetings industry experienced an important moment of truth November 29 when Rod Cameron, director of programming and international development with the International Association of Congress Centres (AIPC), addressed a facility operations summit just before the EIBTM show in Barcelona.
Speaking to a gathering of about 50 convention center executives, Cameron cited sustainability as a major threat facing meetings and events. The problem, he told MeetingsNet Extra in a follow-up interview, is one of degree. If you take green initiatives to the extreme, "the only real solution is not to have the meeting at all, which is not exactly a great business development strategy."
Cameron said sustainability in convention center operations "has become an expectation rather than something that is really a distinguishing feature," with 90 percent of AIPC members reporting some degree of green activity. But meetings still carry a carbon footprint that is beyond facilities' control: He cited a study of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference that showed that Copenhagen's Bella Center generated five percent of that meeting's carbon footprint. Air travel accounted for 92 percent.
Which means "we shouldn't be obsessing over sustainability to the exclusion of making our arguments about the overall importance of meetings," Cameron said. All human activity has some impact, but "you've got to weigh the impact associated with travel against the benefits and the outputs."
Cameron's comments at EIBTM didn't sit well with Pedro Rocha of Portugal's Estoril Convention Centre, who attended the session. "People in positions of responsibility, who have the ability to lead opinion in our sector, have to be wise enough and smart enough to inspire real change," he said. "Now is the time to build a new and better future for all of us, and our industry leaders have to play their part."
Rocha is right that the industry has a long way to go to make its operations more sustainable. But I think Cameron has done us all an important service—by raising the issue, and by pointing to air travel as the Achilles' heel of face-to-face meetings. The question is what we do about it.
- Meetings can reduce carbon emissions associated with air travel by combining live and virtual formats, then buying carbon offsets for anyone who travels by air. Not all offsets are legitimate, but online resources are available to help meeting professionals better understand the players.
- Nobody expects meetings to be 100 percent carbon neutral, now or in the foreseeable future. Eliminating 80 percent of the industry's carbon footprint by 2030 or 2050 will be tough enough. But there's time and scope to set realistic targets and get started.
- Anyone who really thinks sustainability efforts are a threat to the meetings industry, rather than a shining opportunity, should think again. A truly sustainable economy will mean change for every industry, ours included, but a failure to adapt is far riskier.

Monitor.Wait Method (Object)
Releases the lock on an object and blocks the current thread until it reacquires the lock.
Namespace: System.Threading
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
- obj
- Type: System.Object
The object on which to wait.
Return Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the call returned because the caller reacquired the lock for the specified object. This method does not return if the lock is not reacquired.
Exception | Condition |
ArgumentNullException | The obj parameter is Nothing. |
SynchronizationLockException | The calling thread does not own the lock for the specified object. |
ThreadInterruptedException | The thread that invokes Wait is later interrupted from the waiting state. This happens when another thread calls this thread's Interrupt method. |
The thread that currently owns the lock on the specified object invokes this method in order to release the object so that another thread can access it. The caller is blocked while waiting to reacquire the lock. This method is called when the caller needs to wait for a state change that will occur as a result of another thread's operations.
When a thread calls Wait, it releases the lock on the object and enters the object's waiting queue. The next thread in the object's ready queue (if there is one) acquires the lock and has exclusive use of the object. All threads that call Wait remain in the waiting queue until they receive a signal from Pulse or PulseAll, sent by the owner of the lock. If Pulse is sent, only the thread at the head of the waiting queue is affected. If PulseAll is sent, all threads that are waiting for the object are affected. When the signal is received, one or more threads leave the waiting queue and enter the ready queue. A thread in the ready queue is permitted to reacquire the lock.
This method returns when the calling thread reacquires the lock on the object. Note that this method blocks indefinitely if the holder of the lock does not call Pulse or PulseAll.
The caller executes Wait once, regardless of the number of times Enter has been invoked for the specified object. Conceptually, the Wait method stores the number of times the caller invoked Enter on the object and invokes Exit as many times as necessary to fully release the locked object. The caller then blocks while waiting to reacquire the object. When the caller reacquires the lock, the system calls Enter as many times as necessary to restore the saved Enter count for the caller. Calling Wait releases the lock for the specified object only; if the caller is the owner of locks on other objects, these locks are not released.
Note that a synchronized object holds several references, including a reference to the thread that currently holds the lock, a reference to the ready queue, which contains the threads that are ready to obtain the lock, and a reference to the waiting queue, which contains the threads that are waiting for notification of a change in the object's state.
The Pulse, PulseAll, and Wait methods must be invoked from within a synchronized block of code.
The remarks for the Pulse method explain what happens if Pulse is called when no threads are waiting.

News Releases by Email
News Release
Friday, December 17, 2010
Media contact: Joy Hill, 352-258-3426
During the past three months alone, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) law enforcement officers have been called out more than a dozen times to search for overdue hunters in the agency's 12-county Northeast Region. In all cases, the hunters were found uninjured and thankful for the rescue efforts.
When someone is reported overdue from hunting, hiking or boating, emergency response agencies go on full alert. The FWC is no exception. FWC officers are woods-and-water-savvy and are usually the most skilled and best equipped to search remote, undeveloped areas traversing some of the state's thickest and most remote woods and wetlands.
For these efforts, the FWC uses helicopters and fixed-wing planes, four-wheel-drive trucks, all-terrain vehicles, boats and K-9 units specially trained in search and rescue. But most important in their arsenal of search-and-rescue tools is their experience and understanding of the outdoors that can be gained only by spending so much time there.
The most recent rescue came the night of Dec. 12 at the Charles Bronson Wildlife Management Area in Seminole County. The hunter had gained access to the area by airboat, got out and walked, and then got turned around. When officers found him, he had been in the woods for eight hours, was dehydrated and disoriented, on the verge of hypothermia and beginning to panic.
"It's a scary feeling to be lost in the woods with the sun going down, the temperature dropping and no way to communicate with anyone," said Lt. Jeff Hudson, whose primary patrol areas include Seminole and Orange counties. "It is so easy to get turned around and lose your way, even for experienced hunters and outdoorsmen and women."
Hudson recommends that everyone who hunts, camps, boats, hikes - does anything in the outdoors - put together a survival kit and carry it with them just in case they are lost or injured and find themselves in the woods or on the water longer than they anticipated. Most of the items can be carried in a large fanny pack.
The survival kit should include:
Dryer lint is great because it's lightweight, ignites quickly, and you don't need a lot of it to get a fire going. A fire not only will keep you warm, it's a great aid to search and rescue personnel.
As helpful as a compass is, it is worthless unless the person knows how to use it, so be sure to learn how it works before going into the woods. A cell phone should be part of the kit, and some people even have GPS units, but keep in mind they don't always work in some of the more remote areas, Hudson added.
"It's critical to tell someone where you're going, where you're parking or launching your boat and when you plan to be back so they can call for help and know where to direct searchers if necessary. Also, pack some snacks and water, and, depending upon the time of year, bug spray," said Lt. Guy Carpenter, whose crew has rescued hunters three times this season in Osceola County.
If you find yourself lost in the woods, rescuers say there are two things you must do to help searchers locate you.
"Stay in one place and either shine a powerful light or safely build a fire so we can see you," said Lt. Ben Allen, whose areas include Putnam, Flagler and St. Johns counties. "Often we'll use a search dog, and it's much easier for the dog to track someone who is not walking all over the woods."
"Getting out in the woods can be an unforgettable experience. To make sure you come back with great memories, take a little time to plan and prepare before you go. You won't regret it," said Hudson.
FWC Facts:The Hunter Safety Mentoring Exemption enables newcomers to purchase a Florida hunting license and hunt during a one-year trial basis.

This is my first post here, so any help will be awesome.
I am creating a new block that includes text, lines and a solid object. The block is creating properly, however, the linework is behind the solid object.
How do I control the draworder of the items in the block?
Is there a way to set the order before I create the block, OR do I have to modifiy the block after I have created it?
Any help will be appreciated.
I think you should set the draw order after creating the block, because a block can copy from one drawing to another. If you set order before creating the block, the entity's draw orders will belong to the model space, not the block itself.
The custom draw orders of entities are saved in the DrawOrderTable attached to the block table record containing those entities. The block table record is the Model/Paper space or any block definition.
During creation of a block definition, you may collect all line entities, and also save an ObjectId of a solid entity that will stay behind all of linework. This following method will place all source entities above a given target entity.
// Move all source entities above a target entity public static void DrawOrderMoveAbove(ObjectIdCollection sourceEntities, ObjectId targetEntity) { Database db = targetEntity.Database; using (Transaction trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { var entity = trans.GetObject(targetEntity, OpenMode.ForRead) as Entity; if (entity == null) return; // Get the block definition (block table record) containing this entity var btr = (BlockTableRecord)trans.GetObject(entity.BlockId, OpenMode.ForRead); // Get the draw order table of the block var drawOrder = (DrawOrderTable)trans.GetObject(btr.DrawOrderTableId, OpenMode.ForWrite); // Move all source entities above a target entity drawOrder.MoveAbove(sourceEntities, targetEntity); drawOrder.DowngradeOpen(); trans.Commit(); } }
Have you tried to change order of adding the objects
in the block record, e.g. first add a solid, then other things after?
It's a very complex process to add the objects to be in the block so the order that things get added to the block cannot be altered. I did try previously to move things around in the code, without success.
Looks like I will have to create a function that goes and puts the lines above the shade as suggested after the block as been created.
Will let you know how I make out.
I'm looking to do exactl this, I haven't figured out how to set the sourceEntitie which in my case is an Xref and the targetEntity. Can this code be modified to do that?

The band's third album, 'This is War,' released in 2009 garnered them another three top ten singles, the first two of which peaked at the number 1 spot on the US Alternative Songs chart. Additionally, 'Closer to the Edge' was the fastest selling rock single in the UK and topped the UK rock chart for eight consecutive weeks. The subsequent tour set a 'Guinness World Record for the longest concert tour by a rock band' and helped to establish Thirty Seconds to Mars' reputation as one of the hardest working rock bands.
This period also serves as source material for their documentary, Artifact, which documents the band's struggle to renegotiate their recording contract with record label Virgin/EMI. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival where it won the People's Choice Documentary award.
'Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams,' the band's fourth studio album marked an evolution in their distinctive sound and was positively received both critically and commercially. The album reached the top ten in fifteen different countries and the first single, 'Up In The Air,' peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 'Hot Modern Rock Tracks.' Kerrang called the new album bigger than this planet while Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine called it their boldest, brightest, most imaginative record yet.

> John Cephas And Paul Wiggins
John Cephas And Paul Wiggins
Almost immediately after guitarist/vocalist John Cephas joined forces with harmonicist/vocalist Phil Wiggins in 1978, the blues community took them to heart. Critics and fans proclaimed them as the new champions of the East Coast Piedmont style of blues, a style of music first popularized by artists like Blind Boy Fuller, Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Willie McTell and Blind Blake. They have performed for people all over the world, from clubs for only a handful of people to major blues festivals in front of thousands. They even entertained at President Clinton's inaugural party in 1997. Cephas & Wiggins whose style and appeal is often compared to that of an earlier Tidewater duo, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee keep the tradition alive by infusing it with their own originality, vitality, and, most importantly, fun.
The duo celebrates the gentle, melodic blues style of the southeastern U.S. with every performance. According to Living Blues, Cephas & Wiggins "remain today's premier blues guitar and harmonica duo. The Washington Post said, "Remarkable guitar and harmonica duets. Their infectious rhythms and supple melodies combine tasteful fingerpicking with impassioned harmonica solos. Because both Cephas and Wiggins were born in Washington, D.C., they bring an urban sophistication to the traditional rural blues they perform. With their new album (and fourth for Alligator), Shoulder To Shoulder, Cephas & Wiggins' spirited and seamless mix of both original and classic material sheds a bright light on Piedmont blues. Of the album's 12 songs, Cephas wrote or co-wrote six. With the solid mix of brilliantly played music fueled by Cephas' gently rolling guitar and vocals and driven by Wiggins' freight train chugging harmonica, Shoulder To Shoulder is the antidote for anyone who still thinks blues music is a soundtrack for sadness. According to Wiggins, "People automatically think of sadness and depression when they think of blues. But the blues is uplifting music, music to rejuvenate you, to nourish the spirit. When you get down, the blues will pick you up again. The duo is joined by pianist Ann Rabson (Saffire The Uppity Blues Women) on six tracks, pianist Daryl Davis on one and bassist Andrew Volpe on two.
John Cephas was born in Washington, D.C. in 1930 into a deeply religious family and raised in Bowling Green, Virginia. His first taste of music was gospel, but blues soon became his calling. After learning to play the alternating thumb and fingerpicking guitar style that defines Piedmont blues, John began emulating the records he heard by Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Blake, Rev. Gary Davis and other early blues artists. Aside from playing blues, John worked early on as a professional gospel singer, carpenter and Atlantic fisherman. By the 1960s, he was starting to make a living from his music. Since hooking up as a duo with Wiggins in 1977, he has performed all over the world, serving as an ambassador of this singular American art form. Among his many endeavors, John serves on the Executive Committee of the National Council for the Traditional Arts, and has testified before Congressional committees. He is also a founder of the Washington, D.C. Blues Society. "More than anything else," says John, "I would like to see a revival of country blues by more young people more people going to concerts, learning to play the music. That's why I stay in the field of traditional music. I don't want it to die.
Phil Wiggins was born in Washington, D.C. in 1954. He began his musical career with some of Washington's leading blues artists, including Archie Edwards and John Jackson, and attributes his style to his years spent accompanying locally popular slide guitarist and gospel singer Flora Molton. His harmonica sound developed from listening to piano and horn players, as well as the music of Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson I, Little Walter, Big Walter Horton and Junior Wells. Phil also apprenticed with Mother Scott (a contemporary of Bessie Smith). Phil first met John in 1976 at the Smithsonian National Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. Along with pianist Wilber "Big Chief" Ellis and bassist James Bellamy, John and Phil formed the Barrelhouse Rockers. A year after Ellis' death, the duo of Cephas & Wiggins was born. Besides being a renowned harmonica player, Wiggins is also a gifted songwriter and singer whose material has helped define the duo's sound. By the 1980s, the international blues community recognized this marvelous acoustic twosome as the leading exponents of traditional Tidewater blues. While overseas in 1981, they recorded two albums, Living Country Blues and Sweet Bitter Blues, for the German L&R label. Often under the auspices of the U.S. State Department, the two spent much of the 1980s abroad, playing Europe, Africa, Central and South America, China, Australia and New Zealand. In 1988, they were among the first Americans to perform at the Russian Folk Festival in Moscow. Cephas & Wiggins recorded their first domestic album, Dog Days Of August (Flying Fish Records), in 1987 in John's living room, and it quickly won a Blues Music Award for Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year. In 1989, John received a National Heritage Fellowship Award. Often called the "Living Treasure Award," this is the highest honor the United States government offers a traditional artist.
Aside from their busy performance schedule, both Cephas and Wiggins have also done their share of acting. In 1991 John portrayed a blind bluesman in the Kennedy Center production of Blind Man Blues. Phil was in the cast of Matewon, a prize-winning Hollywood film. Together they appeared in the stage production of Chewing The Blues and in the documentary films Blues Country and Houseparty. Recently, the duo performed in the stage production of Zora Neal Hurston's play, Polk County, in Washington, D.C. They've also been featured in four nationally touring arts programs sponsored by the National Council for the Traditional Arts: Masters of the Steel String Guitar; Juke Joints and Jubilee; Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and Echoes of Africa. In 1996, after two successful albums for Flying Fish, Cephas & Wiggins made their Alligator debut with Cool Down. The vibrant collection of original and traditional country blues hid its complexity in the duo's simple, effortless delivery. "Easy to love," said The Associated Press. Jazz Times called the album "a pure, unadulterated country blues gem." 1999 saw the release of Homemade, and 2002's Somebody Told The Truth followed. The Washington Post declared, "Cephas & Wiggins are giants, weaving Wiggins' harmonica and Cephas' voice and guitar together so seamlessly that one mind seems to govern both mouth and all four arms a marvelous and essential journey.
The success of Cool Down, Homemade, and Somebody Told The Truth helped establish Cephas & Wiggins as key figures in the resurgence of interest in country blues, as seen in the success of young acoustic artists like Corey Harris, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Guy Davis, Chris Thomas King and others. "No pretense here," hailed The Chicago Tribune describing a typical Cephas & Wiggins performance, "just down-home, traditional country blues delivered with feeling." After hundreds of concerts at major festivals, concert halls and colleges (not to mention the many workshops the two conduct), Cephas & Wiggins continue to bring energetic good times to each performance, winning new fans everywhere they go. Now, with Shoulder To Shoulder and extensive international touring, Cephas & Wiggins' mission to keep the Piedmont blues alive continues from the White House to festival stages all over the world.

Keepin' It Classy: Denim Buttcrack Covers
Because dogs shouldn't be the only ones with butt covers, somebody went and created Backtacular asscrack patches for ladies (link is NSFW). Classy, but I still prefer a girl with an eyepatch.
Backtacular is a hypoallergenic, decorative, adhesive patch that is applied directly to the skin above the upper cleft of the buttocks. Each package comes with two replacement tapes.
A two-pack of the Bedazzled denim patches will set you back $15. Alternatively, wear underwear. And none of those skanky whale-tail thongs either, I'm into those granny panties. Something I can use as a parachute if the apartment building catches fire.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the surrogate tramp-stamps.

Amish Countryside in the Winter
Amish Country in the Winter Time? Yes it is possible, but please note the roads may be very tricky for inexperienced drivers. The plows do make a passing on the back roads, but perhaps only once or twice a day. The Countryside is beautiful in the winter, with hills and valleys full of white pristine snow. You will see scenic views that can spread out over miles. Tips if you do decide to venture out in the wintertime are:
National Alpaca Farm Days
Mark your 2013 calendar for NATIONAL ALPACA FARM DAYS, Saturday and Sunday, September 28-29, 2013.

California Couple Visits New York's Amish Trail and Amish Geo Trail
In planning a road trip around New York state, we found information on the Internet about Cattaraugus County, a short drive south of Niagara Falls and Buffalo. We were immediately attracted by the opportunity to visit the local Amish merchants - their craftsmanship is well-known to us, even in California. However, we were really sold when we discovered the New York Amish Geotrail, a set of geocaches located at interesting sites and businesses throughout the county. With so much to do, we rearranged our schedule slightly so we would be able to spend more time in the area wi

About the Amish by George Bailey
About the Amish
Old Order Amish use no electricity, no running water and dress in plain clothes of grays and blues.
Their cooking stoves are powered by propane, kerosene or wood. They use kerosene lamps.
They never work on Sundays and rotate church meetings at various homes within their districts.
Their children traditionally speak German until they start school at about 6 years of age where they are taught English.
They go only until grade 8 then they go to work with their family.
A Female Amish Lady's Perspective
The Amish – WHY??? Female Response
Here is a little bits and pieces of our Old Order Amish. We believe in having our own private Churches and our own private schools, etc. We go through first to eighth grade in school. Have to pay our own school taxes plus help the English pay their school taxes which I really don't think is quite fair, but if that is how it shall be we want to be satisfied too. We have no electricity, have to work hard to make a living but imagine that is healthier for us than to just play around.
An Amish Male Tells Why Amish Believe The Way They Do
There are many questions about the Amish Culture and even more answers. While the questions are only natural, some of the answers are less than correct and others downright misleading. Some are well meant, some make the Amish look better than they are and some worse. Some authors of books have done a fairly thorough research and others have done a good job of whipping up some exciting details. Having said that, here is my perspective on why there are Amish and why they live as they do.

Beauty Without Cruelty Leave-In Conditioner Revitalize -- 8.5 fl oz
I found it!
I have very fine, dry, highlighted, wavy hair (that I straighten daily). Needless to say, it needs some moisture. I just haven't found a product that did a great job. I have used Miracle 7 spray. Liked it but it's mainstream with Parabens. Tried Dr. Bronners. So oily, my hair just looked greasy. This is the ONE! I'm so thrilled with this product that I had to write a review. My daughter has ringlet curls and her hair looks awesome too. I put it in my 8 yo son's "longer," shaggy hair tonight. My husband commented on how good it looks when he "brushes his hair." It was just laying nicely because of the leave in conditioner. I will absolutely buy again. Must try. I even used more than I should have tonight and my hair is not greasy. It definitely keeps the fluff/frizz away. Lastly, it works as a detangler too. Love this product!
June 21, 2013
Fabulous to combat the frizz!
I use this while my hair is still damp, comb through, then use Aubrey B5 gel. Works great on long, thirsty, curly hair.
May 30, 2013
great product
moisturizes all day and not greasy
May 25, 2013
I cannot believe the volume/lift this gives to my otherwise limp, fine hair. I highly recommend this.
March 27, 2013
Very good
I've been using Giovanni leave-in and I loved it, but I love this too. I have long, fine, dry, colored hair, and a dime-size amount works just fine. Doesn't weigh my hair down. Smells lovely too....I love all BWC products I've tried.
