Shlomo Kramer, the Israeli entrepreneur who made his name by co-founding the world's second-largest security networks maker, is seeing investor support vanish for his latest cyber venture.
ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd., the Israeli company that makes computer programs used to manage workforces, rallied in New York after reporting a 59 percent surge in new customers last year.
ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. led gains on the Bloomberg Israel-US 25 Index of the largest New York-traded Israeli companies after the software maker boosted its revenue forecast, while AudioCodes Ltd. sank the most in a decade following a cut to its sales outlook.
ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd., the Israeli developer whose largest investor is George Soros's fund, jumped the most in a decade in New York after reporting preliminary fourth-quarter revenue that beat analyst estimates.
After Cisco Systems Inc. paid the highest multiple since 2002 for Sourcefire Inc., investors are betting other Internet security providers such as Fortinet Inc. can also win premium valuations in a sale.
VeriSign Inc., the main manager of the Internet-address database, plunged the most in a month after a new contract letting the company continue to control Web sites ending in .com limited price increases.
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., the world's second-largest maker of network security gear, posted the biggest gain in almost two months after Palo Alto Networks Inc.'s revenue outlook beat estimates.
Options traders are boosting bets by the most since 2004 that Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. will extend its New York drop after the world's second- largest maker of network security gear reported slower revenue growth.
Nice Systems Ltd., an Israeli maker of analytical telecommunications software, climbed in New York to widen the premium over its Tel Aviv shares to the biggest in two months after company officials met with investors in Europe.
"I do not think the weak performance we saw back in fiscal 2013 is going to repeat itself in the coming quarters."

Portland, Oregon's Icon brand turns out serious, premium quality American-made motorcycle gear. The latest addition to their line is a full-face helmet rendered in raw composite. No fancy paint job, no BS. Very Mad Max. The fog- free shield is optional.
This isn't the first bike we've featured by master-builder Winston Yeh. From his Shop in Taiwan, Yeh continues to turn out one-of-a-kind customs. This gothic sled is built around a highly polished Harley knuckle motor wedged into a Zero Engineering frame. All the custom body and fabrication stuff is Yeh's handiwork. And it's not a museum piece, it'll peel you off if you're not holding on tight. Source
Harleys and those awful Victory bikes aren't your only options for an American made motorcycle. Motus Motorcycles has created a line of truly American made bikes that look like a cross between a Ducati, a BMW and a Moto Guzzi designed for touring. The 100 cubic-inch "baby block" V4 pushrod motor gives them their distinctive look and fitted with hardware from Brembo, Ohlins, and Oz, they are definitely bikes for the serious rider seeking power and performance made here at home.
Triumph is celebrating its 110th year of making England's most iconic motorbikes. The limited edition Bonneville T100 is based on their 1902 T100 No.1, and packs a parallel twin 865 cc motor, spoked wheels, and a tasteful smattering of chrome. The Brooklands Green color split paint scheme is a nod to the Brooklands track, the world's first purpose built motor racing circuit. There's an anniversary crest on the side cover, inspired by early bike badges that feature the classic Triumph crown icon. They're only building 1000 of these beauties. Now's your chance.
Although Deus is headquartered in Australia, this Sportster-based custom called The American was actually built by an American named Michael Woolaway who works right here in the USA. With a look combining café racer and classic street-tracker design, this Harley-powered leg burner is a great example of an American-made custom that looks nothing like your dad's hog.
The Bomb Runner is a fully customized Harley Sportster from the soon-to-be-legendary custom garage Rough Craft, based in Taiwan. Builder Winston Yeh turns a 2011 Sporty Forty-Eight 1200 into a bulked-up beast of a bike. He takes the best of classic craft, Japanese Brat Style, custom fabrication, and high performance power and blends them into bikes like this one here. Nobody would dare call this Sportster "the chick's Harley." Source
The Horex has a lot going for it. It's German and not a BMW! And it's a V6. What's the advantage of a 6-cylinder street bike? Well, you get more power at a lower rev. The VR6 Roadster from Horex is a groundbreaking machine with a beast of a motor as narrow and nimble as most fours. Yup, German engineering at it's finest.
In an effort to shake up its classic line of American-made cruisers, Harley-Davidson has unfortunately made some downright ugly factory customs in the past few years. The new Softtail Slim however is a stunning bike. It sports the 103 C.I. big twin motor and the classic soft-tail that looks like a hardtail rear end and has been stripped of all the BS that turned dentists and lawyers into wild hogs. No chrome, no cases, no plastic, just a barebones, badass Softtail bobber that won't get you mistaken for an off-duty exec just yet.
By their very name British bike builders Spirit Of The Seventies is making their aim pretty damn clear. Their latest custom is a versatile and highly modified Triumph twin based on the 2005 Scrambler. Major frame and performance mods make the S6 one mean machine whether you're ripping around on backroads or trying to drive it up over a stonewall.
For those who want to ride upright rather than the standard butts-up crotch-rocket position, the choices are pretty random. Something 30-years old or British or both (gasp). So, it's a cool development that Honda has now created the NC700, a crossover bike rigged with modern technology like an LCD dash plus optional ABS and an automatic tranny. 60+ MPG is pretty nice, too.

Chapatwala fills out Selma city school board
Published 11:15pm Tuesday, October 9, 2012In Tuesday's run-off election Dr. Kirit Chapatwala, currently a professor at Selma University, won in a landslide. He out dueled is opponent Cynthia Harris by 37 percent.
On Tuesday Chapatwala won by 812 votes and additionally he won each polling location in District 1 by more than 50 percent. After the Aug. 28 municipal election, Chapatwala left with 848 votes and Harris had 697. The 151 vote margin was small enough to push the two into a run off where Harris said she was glad to compete.
"I do support Dr. Chapatwala and I do appreciate him running a good race and a clean race," Harris said, who also mentioned she cared so much about the school board race because her son is still a student in the system. "So I have got to keep fighting."
Chapatwala was busy thanking God and those who voted for him after his victory.
"I left it up to God and the public supported me and many, many people worked with me unpaid more than I worked campaigning," Chapatwala said and added that his family has been the main support for him at home, "The public supported me and I have faith in the public."
He said there are two things he wants to focus on from day one of being in office — budget and finding out what is forcing students and their parents to look to privatized education.
"I would like to see where the budget is going, where the money is being spent, because before I left the school system a lot of money was there," he said. "Secondly, [the school system is] losing students to private schools, in spite of us building a brand new beautiful building … we must ask why school system students are not doing well."

EU budget 2014-2020 and cohesion policy
The European Commission presented its proposals for a Multi-annual Financial Framework covering the period 2014-2020 on 29 June 2011.
The Commission proposes to allocate €376 billion for the 2014-2020 period for spending under cohesion policy instruments. This amount comprises:
- €162.6 billion for convergence regions,
- €38.9 billion for transition regions,
- €53.1 billion for competitiveness regions,
- €11.7 billion for territorial cooperation
- €68.7 billion for the Cohesion Fund
It also includes €40 billion for a new Connecting Europe facility designed to boost investment in transport, energy and information communication technologies.
The European Social Fund will represent at least 25% of the cohesion envelope, not taking into account the Connecting Europe facility, i.e. €84 billion.
The other main elements of the proposed Multi-annual Financial Framework in the area of cohesion policy are:
- Reinforced focus on results and effectiveness, with a systematic link between cohesion policy and the Europe 2020 strategy
- New conditionality provisions to ensure that funds are used to meet the Europe 2020 objectives, affecting both the initial allocation of funds and the release of additional funds
- The introduction of a new 'transition region' category including regions with a GDP per capita of 75-90% of the EU-27 average
- Measures to improve the absorption of funds by Member States

The Royal Couple Will Welcome Their Second Child In April
Prince William and Kate Middleton have a due date for their second child.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have a due date for their second child.
Prince Harry has a big heart. No doubt about it.
Prince Harry is a man of the people, and even serves in the British army. He was doing an interview while in Afghanistan when something happened that caused his whole troop to go running off.
I'm sure you've heard by now about Prince Harry's nude photos taken of him while in Las Vegas last week. I don't know what the Prince was thinking when he allowed this to happen, but he is finding support with a Facebook group called "Support Prince Harry with a Naked Salute".
Lots of talk about the Prince Harry's naked pictures that surfaced after a night of drinking in Las Vegas. Maybe the alcohol companies should put better warnings on their products for those who just don't get what "drink responsibly" means.
You know the phrase, whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Not if you're Prince Harry.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

respecting their own laws which is no small victory)
2) how long of a delay are we talking?
3) what is the status of the drawdown to this point? i was under the
impression that it really hadn't started yet

Subject: RE: G3 - IRAQ - Iraq's electoral body halts poll preparations
There is a dispute over the allocation of seats per province/ethnicity
in the light of the move to increase the total number of seats in
Parliament. The legislature approved the move in which the Sunnis and
the Kurds get very few seats. It needs to be signed off by the
Presidency/Executive Council. President Talabani has threatened to veto
but fears about delay in polls. The Sunni VP Tariq al-Hashemi has gone
ahead and vetoes a section of the law. What this means is that the law
goes back to Parliament for changes which is going to be a lengthy
process. This delays the polls currently slated for Jan 21. In addition
to the rise in violence we are now also looking at potential political
instability. So at a time when the Obama admin is still struggling with
how to prosecute the "good war", the "bad war" could erupt again. At the
very least it throws off the U.S. drawdown calculus.

Iraq's electoral body halts poll preparations
Wed Nov 18, 2009 6:51am EST
BAGHDAD, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Iraq's election commission has halted all
preparations for elections in January after Iraq's vice president vetoed
part of an election law that had paved the way for the poll, an
electoral official said on Wednesday.
"As a result of the veto, we have decided to stop all our activities and
work as we await a final law with a presidential decree that determines
the exact date of the election," Hamdiya al-Hussaini told Reuters.
Iraq's Sunni Arab vice president on Wednesday said he had vetoed part of
an election law because it did not allocate seats to Iraqis displaced
abroad, which had thrown fresh doubt on plans to hold general elections
in January.
Any material delay to the ballot, planned for between Jan. 18-23, could
affect U.S. plans to end combat operations next year, ahead of a full
pullout by the end of 2011.

BAGHDAD, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Iraq's Sunni Arab vice president said on
Wednesday he had vetoed part of an election law over the allocation of
seats to displaced Iraqis, throwing fresh doubt over plans for general
elections in January.
Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi said he objected to Article One of the
law approved by parliament this month because it did not give a voice to
Iraqis abroad, many of whom are Sunni Muslims who fled during sectarian
fighting after the U.S-led invasion in 2003.

Rose with fresh tart berries, but it has an undertone I'd call 'vintage' that gives it a faintly cloying, powdery edge. It's okay overall, but that vintage edge ruins it for me. The cloying feeling, probably the berries, is just too much sweet. Please note that my skin amps sweet up really badly.
This is a lovely light and fresh and slightly sweet rose-berry fragrance - the name is spot on! It doesn;t seem to last very long at all, and it has softened down to the skin within about half an hour - however it's still there and nice and subtle. At first spray it seems like a cheap perfumey scent so it's actually nice once it dries down a bit. Nothing amazing but pretty and fresh and light.
What a nice simple scent- to me it smells of lilly of the valley with a blush of berry. Thankfully the berry part doesn't suffer from the same artificial smelling fate of some other berry scents (such as BBW Sun-Ripened Raspberry- yuck!) Very light and refreshing- nice scent for late spring/early summer. I love the cut glass vintage-looking bottle as well!
I love this and all of the "Wild" line by Coty. Great, cheap, although fleeting scent. I use these for around the house and before bed. I'll always keep them in the bath for a quick spritz.
I would have given this a 4.5 if I could. One of my favorite rose scents, after Stella, Rose de Rosine, and Paris. Just as good as them, and much cheaper! This is a subtle rose, not cloying, with a light berry drydown.
I wish I could find this in a bigger size bottle to buy! I purchased a small bottle of this in an after christmas sale and have fallen in love it with. It smells sweet like a rasberry or slightly strawberry scent but at the same time has a touch of floral rose to it. This is a great product. Not too strong a scent after it is on your skin awhile. I like it even though you have to apply it a few times throughout the day.
This smells like neither roses nor berries, but it has a light, sweet, flowery fragrance that's great for summer. It's dirt cheap, too. I love the 70's vintage-looking bottle!

I'll be honest, I'm super rough on my belongings so when I had the chance to feel the material I decided it wasn't the right bag for me. I was concerned that over time it wasn't going to hold up so I decided to return it and get a different bag. I was super bummed becuase the print on the fabric is great.

Q From Stephen Balkam: Could you throw some light on to the origin of taking the piss? My (English) wife seemed to think it meant actually being made to drink someone else's urine.
A Nothing literal about this one, you will be pleased to hear. It's usually said that the phrase derives from an older one, piss-proud, which refers to having an erection when waking up in the morning, which is usually attributed to a full bladder (proud here being an obvious pun on its senses of something raised or projecting and of something in which one may take satisfaction).
It's first recorded, as so many such indecorous expressions are, in Francis Grose's A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue; in the second edition of 1788 he wrote: "Piss-proud, having a false erection. That old fellow thought he had an erection, but his — was only piss-proud; said of any old fellow who marries a young wife".
This developed into a figurative sense of somebody who had an exaggerated idea of his own importance. So to take the piss is to deflate somebody, to disabuse them of their mistaken belief that they are special. It's not recorded before the beginning of the twentieth century.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Vacationville … Proprietors at the marvelous Mildred Building including the Book Bazaar, Caves Interiors, Katharine & Co. and One Vase will be closed beginning July 4 through July 8. Finders Fayre will close July 4 but remain open the rest of the week. Mark Lowe and Above All Photography are open by appointment only. The first week in August welcomes the next exciting First Thursday (actually Aug. 4) at the Mildred, so mark your calendars for all the wonderful wares that will be on sale that evening.
Lighting the torch … Anderson Ford Mercury in Cleveland and Operation Refuge Inc. of Cleveland are the winners of the 2011 Torch Awards for Marketplace Trust presented May 10 by the Better Business Bureau of Southeast Texas during its 14th annual awards presentation. The BBB Consumer Education Foundation Inc. made a $10,000 contribution to continue funding endowed Better Business Bureau College of Business scholarships at Lamar University, bringing total contributions for the past 14 years to $140,000.
I have a love-hate relationship with Woody Allen. But lately we've been all hearts and flowers. First the very British "Match Point," then the Latin romance of "Vicki Cristina Barcelona," and now the airy delicious soufflé that is "Midnight in Paris." Allen seems an ex-patriot by now, he's been gone so long. But we're the better for it if this grand tour inspires him to create such wonderful little films as this.
There is a lot of monkey business in this movie, and I see a trend developing. First, the little pirate monkey in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," and now the cute primate that latches on to the lost boys of "H2." One thing is for sure: If the show's not funny, you can always cut to the monkey.
Like father, like son … The Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) presents Randy and Bryan Welborn: Moments to Remember, the artwork of father/son duo Randy and Bryan Welborn, in Café Arts June 2 through Aug. 7. This exhibition features 15 paintings from the Welborn's nostalgic painting series Moments to Remember. Randy, a native Southeast Texan who now resides in Kountze, captures life growing up in Beaumont during the 1950s.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Many thanks. I'll leave it a week to see if it warms up a bit then have a go.
Last Autumn I ug and potted up several chrysanths and left them to overwinter in the greenhouse. They are all now producing strong growth from the base. My question is, are these the shoots I should be using for cuttings or will these come from higher up the plants. Thanks in anticipation.
Thank you everyone for your swift replies. I will go with your advice and contine to keep adding from my compost bin and see what happens.
Does anyone have an organic solution for lowering the ph of my veg plot ? My test kit is showing a reading of 8 and the suggestion on the packet is 'sulphur of ammonia' which sounds a bit strong.
Many thanks in anticipation.
That's encouraging folks. Many thanks.
I planted out several chrysanth cuttings oh, it must be two months now, but they've hardly moved. A couple have been completely demolished by snails. Is there any hope that when the weather turns they might come on, even flower, or is this year just a write off ? Many thanks in advance.
I've seen sweetcorn cropping quite well in the Borders, Jedburgh region, and I seem to remember that the summers can be quite pleasant in Scotland. I'd definately plant them out and take your chances. There's not much sweeter than a cob straight off the plant.
I'd never heard that expression 'volunteers' before. Thanks both.
I've got a different take on this as several of mine from last year are now growing strongly up through my parsnips and beetroot. A real pain.
Apoogies for the above mess. It obviously doesn't work to cut and paste from web sites.

International Edition
Editor's note: This is the fifth story in CNN's series exploring the issues surrounding childhood obesity.
It's a sweet, sticky, crunchy, ooey-gooey, chocolate-drizzled, cheese-stuffed, deep-fried world out there, and we can't pretend it doesn't tastes pretty darned delicious. Nearly from birth, American kids are blasted with ads for foods that send their taste buds into overdrive, but don't do them any nutritional favors.
These treats might be okay in very careful moderation, but if it's hard enough for adults to resist the sugary, salty siren call, how can we expect kids to do so? A parent needs an arsenal. Grab your knives. As a working mother to two young and hungry boys, Katie Workman, Editor-in-Chief of Cookstr.com and author of the upcoming "The Mom 100 Cookbook" is no stranger to the challenges of feeding a small and finicky army. She's made it her mission to empower parents to pass along vital cooking skills, in order to ensure a healthier future for their kids.
"There are so many practical and amazing reasons why you should teach your kids to cook," Workman says. "The most obvious is that if you don't, in short order they will find themselves with a takeout menu in their hands, or on line at a supermarket with a cart of frozen food or prepared meals, and ultimately we'll have retirement homes filled with heavy old people nibbling chicken nuggets and debating the merits of barbecue sauce versus honey mustard, both of which will give them heartburn."
It's never too early to start, Workman says, and it's not just about knocking out a momentary case of the munchies. "Like any skill, the older you get, the more difficult it is to learn. They will understand and appreciate food in a deeper way, they will be comfortable in the kitchen, they will develop broader palates, and they will be able to entertain people, which is an undervalued and ever-shrinking asset. You will be giving them a new place to discover things and be creative."
And the benefits keep adding up, Workman says. "They will learn math, multiplication and fractions. We talk about how this generation are tech natives, growing up with computer skills, so they are completely comfortable with the language of technology. It seems to make a lot of sense to invest a bit of energy into doing the same for them in the kitchen."
Tanya Wenman Steel, Editor-in-Chief of Epicurious.com, co-author of "Real Food for Healthy Kids" and mother of identical twin boys, also underscores the importance of early kitchen education.
Steel says, "The old adage of if you teach a man to fish, you have fed him for a lifetime particularly resonates with kids. Once they understand what healthy foods are, and how they can make simple things for themselves like snacks, salads, and desserts, then you have empowered them and put them on a path of healthier eating for the rest of their life. Just as we try and teach our kids the golden rules, so, too, should we teach them the golden rules of eating well."
While it might seem like a pain in your overworked neck to herd the whole family into the kitchen to prepare a meal, doing it just once a week will have immediate and lasting benefits - and you might even end up enjoying yourselves.
Here are five good reasons to get in the kitchen with your kids:
It's quality time. You're eating anyway, so make dinner prep time do double duty as catch-up time. Divide up the tasks according to ages and skill sets, so your kids get a chance at some hands-on experience under your watchful eye, and you get to hear all about each others' day. It's a great way to keep communication lines open - and build some sweet memories that will last long after the pots and pans have been put away.
Traditions can span generations. With ballet lessons, soccer games, ever-flashing PDAs and a billion other modern distractions, it seems sometimes like the world is conspiring to keep families away from the dinner table - and each other. Take control of everyone's calendar, turn off all electronic devices and lock in a weekly family cooking ritual, starting at the grocery store or farmers market.
It doesn't matter if it's a new homemade pasta every Friday, exploring a different international cuisine every Sunday, delving into Grandma's recipe box or setting up a make-your-own-pizza bar before you watch American Idol. What matters is that it's time spent together, centered around developing healthy habits. Your young ones might even share this comforting tradition with their own kids someday.
They'll see the whole picture. If kids don't see how a meal got to their plate, they're much more likely to turn up their nose and beg for the chicken fingers. Get them invested from the get-go. If you've got any outdoor space at all, or even just a window box, a few lettuce seeds or beans can sprout a whole lot of magic. If you're not gifted with a green thumb, take them straight to the source and visit a farm or farmers market where they can meet the people who grew their food. Once they've made that emotional connection to their cauliflower, kale or yes, even Brussels sprouts, they'll be less likely to turn it down.
And encourage them to get their hands dirty. If they've stirred the pot, peeled the carrots, mashed the sweet potatoes or washed the lettuce, they've still had a role in making the dish. It'll be hard to say no to their own handiwork, even if they have rejected that ingredient when it's appeared on their plate before.
Workman notes that it's critical for kids to see exactly what goes into their food. "They will see how much fat or salt or sugar goes into something, and understand why certain foods should be eaten with moderation, and to look at fast food or processed foods with a more educated framework," she says.
It's a chance to explore the world. Yes, mac and cheese and chicken fingers might rule their kingdom and be a quick, easy fix, but there's a whole slew of ingredients just waiting to step up to the throne. It doesn't have to be a big deal, and you surely shouldn't go sneaking these foods, inadvertently making them the enemy.
Just make a deal with the whole family to agree upon one - just one - new fruit, vegetable, spice or grain each time you go to the grocery store, and make that the lesson for the week. Study up on its origins, nutritional benefits, cultural importance, cooking methods and traditional dishes and make it the star for one meal. They might not all be hits, but you as a family can decide which ones are crowned king of the kitchen and which are sent straight to the dungeon.
It's a confidence booster. As much as you'd love them to, not every kid excels in school, sports or on the stage. With just a little bit of guidance, any kid can learn to prepare a healthy, delicious meal from buying to prepping to serving, and there's nothing more empowering than that. If a kid knows that he or she doesn't have to wait around for their Mom or Dad to fix them a meal or snack, they're far less likely to go reaching for the chips and cookies, and might even take the time to build on their budding kitchen skills.
Not only might they end up cooking for you (and wouldn't that be a sweet treat?) - once they leave the nest, they'll be the superstar of their college dorm, apartment complex and (gasp!) even date night.
Got a favorite recipe or ritual you share with your kids? Please let us know in the comments below and we'll highlight our favorite in an upcoming feature.
I love cooking with my nine-year-old. On days when we get cranky when I try to help him with his homework or get him to clean his room, we can cook together and get along perfectly. One day he smelled every spice in the cabinet, and put together his own spice mix from the ones he liked. We call it "Malcolm's supreme spicy spice mix." It's really delicious! He had the idea to use it in these croquettes, and they're wonderful!
It's wonderful to see him so creative and confident, and he'll try more foods if he has a hand in making them.
I should say, one thing that's very important is that we try whatever he suggests. I might try to steer him a little (and he actually takes my cooking advice more genially than he takes any other advice I give him!) but for the most part, I'll let him call the shots. This way we've come up with some great new culinary innovations...grated toasted beets(!) for instance, which he used in Malcolm's Supreme Spicy sauce, with nuts, roasted red peppers, tomatoes and his spice mix. Truly one of the best sauces I've had! He helps me to think about cooking without preconceived ideas of what can and can't be done. It's liberating!
I completely resonate with this article. You asked for favorite kid-friendly recipes: We make smoothies. Dump into the blender about 2c (16oz) plain non-fat or low-fat yogurt, kid's choice of juice (about 8 oz), kid's choice of frozen fruit – still frozen: mango, strawberries, bananas, berries, peaches, etc (about 2 c). Blend it all up. We top it with "crunchies" AKA toasted wheat germ. This has the added benefit of being pretty foolproof, so they can play around with flavor combinations. A current fave is mango / strawberry. I love the creative side of cooking, and the ability to make things to my own palate, and this gives my little ones a starter step in that direction.
I couldn't agree more about the value of teaching children to cook. I don't have kids of my own but as a teacher in an all-boys school here in Toronto, I do my part with my weekly cooking club for 8-11 year olds. Every Monday, we gather in the science lab with some hotplates and rudimentary equipment and we manage to make healthy, from scratch meals in under an hour. We've worked out way through a couple of Jamie Oliver books and I have invited in guest chefs from around Toronto to work with the boys. It's one of our most popular clubs. I love that it gives me a chance to connect with my students outside the classroom – it's wonderful that my students get to see me as a real person doing something I am really passionate about (I love teaching French too but it's not everyone's favorite subject, shall we say...!). It's truly a highlight of my week. Many of the boys now cook at home and their parents are thrilled.
Great article...We ended up buying a little kiddie tower that raises our 2 and 4 y/os to counter height – they call it their 'Box' and they all have their own set of spoons, bowls, etc that they use to help with cooking. It's play to them now but for all the reasons listed in the article they're engaged and aware of what they're eating and what it took to get on their plate.
I'm not going to say that it magically made them like their veggies though one loves her broccoli and the other is a tried and true carnivore, but they aren't intimidated by cooking and actively ask to 'help'.
I was, because of life circumstances, cooking for my family by the age of ten. It has only been a positive in my life since. My wife can also cook (and does most of the time). The result is that I can get tasty low-oil foods. My children will have cooking as part of their family experience and it will be one of the best investments we make for them.
Since most parents have little cooking skills and buy pre-packaged food for their dinners it would be better to teach kids at school to read labels and understand what is in their food. In my book, Gaining Weight:high fructose corn syrup and obesity, I go over labels and especially high fructose corn syrup. Your body and brain recognizes glucose to feel full, not fructose. So kids are hungry and eat more. Fructose also causes a fatty liver and leads to obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Giving up this one thing would be a great start. Dr. Dee Takemoto
A man who knows how to cook will be popular among girls and in laws, while a woman who also knows how to cook will make sure to choose a partner who will also knows how to cook. I suggested to my boys that they learn how to cook and take care of infants, so far my daughter in law has been hands off from the kitchen and her two kids, its always been my son's job to care for his two children. He has no time for a roving eyes, and all his in laws love him because of his talent in raising his family.
Both my parents worked (a LOT), so we split up daily dinner service between the 5 of us, each with a night or two a week. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to cook for my family- I can pretty much cook anything, and even replicate recipes I enjoy from local restaurants or just come up with my own. Thanks, Life!
Just how can our overweight or obese mothers teach their children how to cook when they themselves have next to little cooking skills themselves? And they are going to steer their children away from overweight/obese children by regularly bringing their children to dine at fast-food restaurants? where they can all enjoy eating their junk foods. It ios more than likely their children will soon be as fat as their mothers. As we see these days, fat is becoming the norm.
You're kidding, right? They can learn themselves, and they should, for their own health and that of their children. I had next to no cooking skills when I moved out of my parents' house. I knew how to boil pasta in water and make toast. My mother did cook, but she never taught me much about it. I started out using basic and easy to understand recipes, and progressed from there. You better believe I am going to teach my children how to cook when they get old enough (they are still very little). It is one of the most basic life skills. I understand that many working mothers do not have a lot of time to cook, but there are fast and easy recipes for when you're short on time. There's also the option of cooking for a week or a month at a time. I knew one family growing up that only cooked once a month since the mother worked full time, and it worked for them.
I agree with your views on this subject. I also feel that obesity is a problem that should be more looked at in this country. Would you mind reading my blog at "http://yetanotheraveragejoe.blogspot.com/"? I would like to have your perspective.

Cooking is a great way to learn math. At mathtricks.org, we try to add articles that will help parents instill upon their kids an appreciation of mathematics, and teaching them how to cook is one of the best ways!
Reblogged this on This Is How I Eat and commented: Family Day is certainly a newer holiday in the Canadian calendar, but by no means less loved than any other. Besides, two months after Christmas and another two before any other holiday is exactly the right time for a day off. And what better way to spend a mid-winter sojourn than with the people that love you most – (presumably) your family.
Big family meals were a big old deal while I was growing up, so the idea of preparing and sharing a meal with my hypothetical future children really appeals to me. Since our American counterparts certainly love family, eating, and sharing as much as we do, I thought this piece on the importance of getting those kiddies into the kitchen would be a good read for today.
My Mom started us cooking when we were in grade school. I lived on my own for many years, and learned even more about cooking, but also how much prepared food costs compared to raw food and cooking it yourself. (Prepared foods are horrendously expensive, in case you hadn't noticed. Not to mention bad for you). To this day, I love to cook, and can easily make a meal as good as anything I've had in a restaurant, or in many cases, better.
It's never too early to get your kids involved, even if it's basic stuff. I know too many people that literally have no idea how to cook anything, and subsist on prepared foods or takeout.
Unfortunately I don't cook and have 2 young girls. I was not taught to cook (my mom hates it) and the dishes I've tried in the past are okay at best. My girls are very picky and won't touch anything I cook for them if it's not pasta with butter or cereal with milk. I don't want them to have the same experiences I do with food, but cannot figure out a way to change this part of my life. BTW, I'm very skinny because I don't much – obesity is not a problem in my house. We all eat minimally and our snack choices are healthy-ish (goldfish crackers, peanut butter, cheese, fruit) – it is mealtime that is boring and routine. I am truly stuck in a rut and fear that my kids will never mature their taste buds and try new foods.
Practice makes perfect. Aim to cook 1 new recipe a week until you get better at cooking.
As far as teaching the kids to eat well, this blog has lots of good information: http://itsnotaboutnutrition.squarespace.com/
My account is screwed up, how do I fix it CNN?
I noticed above you asked for recipes to be posted in the comments below. While a lively discussion of whether or not the article is right has ensued, I don't see any recipes yet. For all those who are "nay sayer's," I have been teaching a Kid's in the Kitchen class for the last 7-8 years. This is one component of relieving childhood and adult obesity. Not the cure-all magic bullet, but a piece of the puzzle. Stop blaming this or that, and start putting all the components together: exercise, diet, cooking skills, attitude, mental health, and spiritual health. That will make a whole person of average weight. It's not advertisers, fat, calories, and chicken nuggets alone that have shaped America.
My recipe below is based on an Irish Cottage Broth recipe and is a healthy, vegetarian option that had my 4-12 year old's begging for more! And yes, the 4 year old chopped the veggies too!
Jenn's Cottage Broth [(No-Neck Stew) @Destiny LOL!] Serves: 4
4 cups water 2 tbs. Butter (not margarine- easier to assimilate in the body) 1 medium onion 2 cloves garlic 4 carrots 4 potatoes 4 stalks celery 1 turnip salt & pepper to taste
1. Chop onion and garlic fine and set aside.
2. Chop remaining veggies into small, but not fine pieces, as they cook faster.
3. Melt butter in a large pot or dutch oven. Add onion and garlic. Saute' until onions turn clear.
4. Add remaining vegetables and stir-fry until a golden coating begins to form on the bottom of the pan.
5. Add water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat.
6. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until veggies are cooked to the desired tenderness.
And there you have it!!! I would love to put more out there or encourage you to email me if you have questions, but I don't like spam. So if you want more info about what I do, look up Kids in the Kitchen on the City of Temple City, CA website. I think it's under Recreation, Recconnect, Fee and Charge classes.
Happy Cooking!
Essentially what's happened is that the TV ads have become the parents, overriding what you should be teaching your kids. The ads tell kids and you to eat every 15 minutes, and they tell you to eat all the wrong stuff, high calorie foods that make you obese. Over time, you yourself have lost what you needed to keep your weight down, collectively as a nation. The TV ads are designed to get you to consume high calorie foods and spend money on things your body doesn't need. Sugar is great tasting, they know this too, they add it to sell you as many foods as they can get you to consume as rapidly as possible. In foods, sugar tastes fantastic and doesn't do much harm to anyone climbing a mountain each day. Most kids and adults don't do that, so all that excess sugar is calories you don't need, so your body stores it as fat. Whether you're adding sugar to a prepared meal or desert, or it's already in processed food a manufacturer adds to their product, that doesnt' matter. Sugar will still get rapidly stored in your and your kids fat cells, and you both plump up.
It's not who prepared the food, how it was prepared, it's how many calories it has, and how many your body needs during the day. Learn that yourselves, teach your kids the same, turn off the ads that have taken over the parenting instruction, and stop buying the high calorie foods they're programming your kids to eat every 15 minutes.
Everything I just said above, will be wiped out by the thousands of ads run each year saying the opposite, but someone has to say it. I did my part.
As a nation, we need to regulate what the food producers are teaching kids, through their paid for TV advertising. They've run things into the ground with those ads You can either accept obesity, or you can vote to regulate the content they're cramming into society all in the name of their making a buck. Think it doesn't matter? How much will you spend later on diets and hospital stays, when you could have kept your weight, and your kid's weight down the entire time they made their profits.
Yep, not the parent's fault, it is television's fault. Occupy Madison Avenue, Occupy the supermarket, and Occupy the tv stations for brainwashing us into mindless eating. Fortunately, my brainpower is at X-men levels so that I am immune to what my tv tells me to eat, exercise regularly, eat what I want both healthy and occasionally unhealthy, and live a pretty good lifestyle.
This article like most every article about food doesn't get the heart of the matter. Instead it drifts off into some "comfort" discussion about food and how to feel about it. This doesn't even address the issue. If you want yourself, or your kids to be thin, tell them how to calculate the meal's calories, and plan their day out to keep the calories down, and to plan to get in some physical activity time each day. Tell them if they eat 5000 calories in a day, they will be fat and they won't like it once they get fat, or later when they have to lose the weight, that won't be fun either.Tell them if they starve themselves later when they're fat, they're killing themselves, organs fail if you diet too fast, and that won't be fun sitting in a hospital with failed organs. That's pretty simple right? Can kids comprehend this? Well, if they can't, you can until they do, and you can help them plan their meals out. Once they get used to this, they're on their way to a normal size, and normal levels of food intake each day. For sure though, telling them to "feel comforatable about food preparation", that isn't telling them anything useful at all. They can easily pile on pounds of meat, potatoes, gravy and such, and next up is fat city. It didn't help them at all.
Great post and series – can't get this topic off my mind lately.
It's lack of excercise that's making kids F A T! If one consumes more calories than one burns up, then one is going to put on weight. As my kids got on their feet to walk, they ran off their baby fat. All my children are slim & trim, & hopefully will live long & healthy lives. I tried to give them a good foundation in what's good for you & what isn't. We all need a "treat" now & then, even if it isn't exactly good for us. If we as adults set a good example to our children, then perhaps they will follow & continue to eat nutriciously. 'Course it gets harder & harder when big food genetically alters almost everything we consume, & chock it full of corn sweetners, which our bodies are not designed to use efficiently. Stay away from the "white", as in sugar, flour, salt, pasta, bread, rice, pasteries, empty calorie snack food. I found if I felt like I had to have a "sweet" after a meal, a small red apple would nix that "sweet" urge, & soo much better for a person.
My sons, now 24 and 27 were helping in the kitchen as soon as they could stand on a chair at the counter. Not only can they cook, but the know how to properly measure dry ingredients for baking. My eldest is teaching several of his friends to cook simple, nutritious meals. The only problem I see with this article is that the author thinks most of today's parents can cook and that's just not true. I'd love to home economics come back into schools, especially the cooking classes and those that deal with family resources such as finances.
This is timely and needed article. There are many talented mothers working to bring attention to this movement of cooking and eating with your children. Another unique and creative project is MA What's For Dinner? http://www.mawhatsfordinner.com
The website is a fun resource of stories and videos of a young mother raising three young boys while working to launch a national television series for moms and their kids. The cookbook is tremendously creative and fun for families and children.
The television series has national distribution through public television and will change the lives of many families upon launching. Enjoy the videos and share with your families as this is a great cause with positive social effects for all families.
Eat your chicken nuggets and get your condoms for free!!
Thanks Obama!
