Linda bumped us up before I got the chance. Thanks.
Anyone out there that wants to join us, you still have time to sign up.
I,m hoping to send a holloween suprise with mine.
Have a great day!
Just finished cutting out my charms today. I have 1 small request - whoever ends up mailing to me please make sure there is no cat hair in the fabric. My son and I are allergic to cats and your help in keeping our home allergy free is greatly appreciated. Think I will make a plastic quilt template to go in with my charms. :-)
Best to you and many thanks,
Sandra aka quiltingfox
Sorry was not meaning to cause a big fuss. My son and I have a SMALL allergy to cats, but it is not severe - we don't have to use an epi-pen or anything that drastic. If you have cats in your home and keep your fabric like Micyrey in plastic containers that should fine. I just got some fabric from Micyrey the other day and it did NOT cause me to have any allergy problems (LOL yes I smell my fabric when I get it - so I know whether I have to rewash it or not) and NO I did NOT have to re-wash her fabric - I put it straight away into my fabric stash tubs and it was totally fine.
The desk I use for quilting fabric cutting is where my son does his homework. So I just try to avoid getting cat hair on the desk. If I do get fabric with actual cat hair on it I just have to wash it right away (my quilting/homework desk is in the laundry room). My S-I-L gives my son hand-me-down clothes from her kids and they are always covered in cat hair so I just have to wash them 1 or 2 times to get the cat hair removed and afterwards my son is fine wearing the clothes from her house. So our cat allergies are small. Sorry did not mean to cause a big fuss, but do appreciate everyone's thoughtfulness about this.
Like I know Dan's cats are very LOL helpful when he is working with fabric and I knew this in advance so I just washed the fabric he sent me in last month's swap as soon as I got it. And it was not a problem. So if your cats have access to your fabric just please let me know when you send it so I know whether to rewash it once it gets here, before putting it into my fabric stash. I appreciate everyone wanting to be helpful in this matter. (Huggs) :-)
Best to you and many thanks,
After looking back at the last few posts, I see that I should've included something of an explanation as to why I'm dropping out of the swap. I'm having some personal issues which I need to take some time and figure out, that's all. My quitting the current swap has nothing to do with what Sandra, or anyone else, has said or done. I can see where some might think it was because of Sandra's request concerning her allergies, and nothing could be further from the truth. She knows Bump and Stella always get into everything I do, and that it's a good idea to wash/sanitize anything I send her. It doesn't mean that what I send is dirty or anything, there just might be some allergens going along for the ride. We all know that when we send plants or seeds that they should be inspected for mold and decay when we receive them, and fabric should be treated the same way. I think Sandra has brought up an important issue, that of washing anything we use when we receive it from someone else, whether there are cats, dogs, children, or aliens from Neptune involved. Pollen, scents, and germs are all quite adept at travelling, and with all the boxes we send throughout the year, it would be impossible to not send something that's possibly harmful to one another at some point. We've just to remember to do our best and look out for one another. That's all.
Take care Everyone! I'll drop in from time to time to make sure you're all (mis)behaving!
-Dan & the Wee Beasties
Glad to see ya' Dan. :-) So in short summary - if you have cats and they get to play in your fabric LOL, just let me know when you mail to me so that I can wash it when it gets here. I think that would work out easiest for everyone. I think that is a more reasonable request. It worked out well that way when Dan mailed to me last month. Really Love the fabric you sent Dan - it's going to look so great in the quilt I am making for my mom! :-) Off to quilt. Have a great weekend! :-)
Best to you (Huggs),
Sandra aka quiltingfox
It was a beautiful day here in LA! A nice cool breeze even at noon today. Got to play in the garden a little bit and dug some plants up that my M-I-L is sending to her aunt (making room for future plantings). Hoping to do some more gardening tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :-)
Best to you,
Sandra aka quiltingfox
Hi to everyone,
Quiltingfox, I'm glad you brought up the deal with the cats. I'm sure we all understand how it is with our health. I have a lot of allergies but mine are mainly food and perfume. At one time just walking by the bathroon tissue counter in the store would set mine off. I would have a hard time breathing. I also worked in the department for 20 plus years. I'm soooooo..... much better now that I'm away from there.
On to our trading list:
gmom-3 or ?
sandlapper rose-1
If I've missed anyone, please let me know.
Dan, we will miss you and hope things are OK. We hope to see you next month.
Okay, put me back on the trader's list for 3 people. I've had some good days, so hopefully my health issues are going away. AND, thanks to a certain Linda mentioning that there are some good fabric auctions on e-bay, last week I apparently won 4 of them, including 2 for 100 5" charms each. (I say apparently because I don't remember even going to e-bay last week, but that's just one of the things I was dealing with...go figure) So, today, in the mail, I received 200 2.5" charms (which I'll use for my postage stamp quilt) and 200 5" charms, 30 of which I can use for this swap! YEE-HAW!!! I hated having to bow out of this swap because I really do enjoy swapping charms with everyone, but now I'm able to play again! I'd like to cut the charms I send out of my own fabric, but, should something happen, I can dive into the ones I received today and send those out. And just think, all this is happening on a Monday! Lol!
Glad to see you are joining us again Dan!! :-) I just went and bought stamps today so am all set. Can't wait to mail things, am excited about this swap. Well off to get some more appliqueing done for mom's canning jar quilt.
Best to you,
Sandra aka quiltingfox
We don't have extreme cat allergies, just a low allergy to cats. I have in the past received fabric from both Micyrey and Dan and it was totally fine and did not cause me any problems. (Kicking myself for causing such a fuss.) :-) Off to applique and look at some quilt patterns on the internet. :-)
Best to you and have a great day!!,
Thanks Michelle. :-) Was wondering about that as it posted identical to your previous post. :-) Well am making slow progress on the blocks for my mom's canning jar applique quilt. Off to applique. :-) Hoping we get some more fall weather soon. It was 94*F today. Can't wait till the next cold front. :-)
Best to you and have a great weekend!,
I went out to my sister's farm today, where they were hosting a cider-making party. There were a lot of friends and family, and I even met my two new great-grandnieces for the first time, Chloe and Maddison. It's been sunshine and high 70s around here lately, and everyone is taking advantage of the warm weather. Soon it'll be dark, cold, and snowy, too soon for me. But for now, I'm loving it!
I've got the next two days off, so one day I'm going to spend out in the yard playing in the dirt and yanking perennials, and the other day I'm going to be domestic, spending the day with my fabric and cooking a turkey dinner.
I've got a 3'x4' blank canvas that's staring at me right now, waiting for me to get out my acrylics and brushes. I bought it to hang on the wall above my sewing desk, and I've got the picture in my mind's eye that I want to paint, so now I'm just waiting on that one moment to begin.
Still new at this swap ... so how are getting paired up? Who do I mail to this week?
Lots of butterflies in my back yard flowerbed today. Yellow ones, orange ones and black ones with yellow spots. It was great and most even stayed and fluttered about as I watered the flowers. It is so dry here right now. We really need some rain here in Louisiana. Can't wait for the next cold front. Temps today are in the 90's. I have some perennials I need to relocate and some annuals I need to yank to make room for future plants. Waiting till it cools down to do this though, less transplant shock that way.
Best to you,
Sandra aka quiltingfox
This has got to be our Indian Summer. It has been great. I've been cleaning house, big time. Washing curtains, rugs, sheets, blankets, pillows, drawers of cloths that have not been used in a while, anything I got my hands on. I like hanging them out. Everything on the line and it smells so good.
Well...Here goes.

Hi Everyone! Had a turkey dinner today and am fighting the triptophan (making me sleepy!) so I'll be quick. I've got Linda's address, Jeanne has mine, Cindy and I just exchanged e-mails within minutes of one another, and I just e-mailed Melinda to trade address information.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Thanks for the partners Sharon! I'll be getting in touch with everyone today. I've had my granddaughter the past two days. My daughter has post partem depression, which she's being treated for, so I took the baby for a couple of days. She's also going back on her meds for the bipolar. She should be feeling much better shortly. Meanwhile, I'm spoiling my granddaughter!
Received some beautiful charms from Cindy today. Great fall prints and a floral print which I just love. :-) Home for a bit, then off RVing. Hope everyone has a great weekend. It has cooled off nicely here today. Lows in the mid-40's at night and 83*F is our high for today. Had to wear a jacket this morning with my shorts. A nice cool day here in Louisiana. :-)
Best to you and many thanks,
Sandra aka quiltingfox
I've been charmed! By Sandra!
Thank you so.....much. The succlents are something I do not have. Now that I don't have my cat anymore I can place plants around the house. She used to thing they were her salads. If it was green she would try to eat it.
What a wonderful envy it was. The charms are what I need to finish my last 2 blocks for a top. Then I can get started on the Depression Blocks.
I have a lot of work to do outside before the snow flies.
Thanks again.
You all have a great day!!!!
Glad you like the the butterfly fabric Michelle. Thank you bunches for the charms you sent me - love them! :-)
Glad you liked what I sent you Sharon! :-) Am wondering how long it will take for my charms to get to Cindy as we are on opposite sides of the U.S. I mailed hers the day after I mailed you yours Sharon. :-)
Hope everyone has a great week! :-)
Best to you and many thanks,
Sandra aka quiltingfox
Thanks, Michelle. I received my charms today. I especially like the Christmas fabric with the teddy bear and the drum. The mail was very fast this time!
Has anyone planned to be hostess in November? For awhile now I have wanted to have a swap where we trade handmade pin cushions. I will offer to be the hostess if that idea sounds good to you. Just one partner to swap with and one pincushion to make. If you would rather stay with charms or blocks, that is okay, too. Could we maybe include a handmade or purchased Thanksgiving card when we swap in November? Somehow the Thanksgiving holiday seems to get less and less attention as Christmas runs back into October these days!
I will try to tempt you by saying there are lots of patterns for pin cushions in books and on the internet, so it will not be hard to find a pattern for making one.
Thank you Dan,Sandra & Michelle ---- I did receive all my charms - & the template :) & the succulents :) Meant to post earlier but totally forgot --- spent the weekend w/my grandsons in the corn maze & pumpkin field. How cool it was! Hope you'll understand & forgive me ,)
I should also share that I am using most of my charms for a quilt made w/the Shooting Star block - found on Quilters' Cache. I had made this block for a birthday swap awhile ago & really loved it - especially when paired w/unbleached muslin background. Very vintage looking - & perfect for scraps!
That's quite alright - I was just beginning to type & my laptop did a swan dive -- never saw it coming! Just had wanted to be sure you knew I recv'd everything OK & not certain how often you checked the forum. Planted my succulents & am anxious to see them root :) I've wanted to pay more attention to the garden side of the forum, but just haven't found the time. Maybe this winter while I'm not so busy (I hope!) & I can get all charged up for spring plantings! Something to shoot for -
Here is a link for pin-cushions that might be helpful. :-)
Here is a link that might be useful: Pin-Cushions
Hello Everyone!
I do not seem to be able to do anything today and keep it straight. SOOOOO........
If everyone who has not recieved there charms please report it. Like this:
gmom has not recieved from Melinda, or Michelle.
I'm just trying to report what is happening and I can't keep it straight today. Please help.
Okay went through my fabric stash and through my computer/quilting/sewing/my child's homework desk and I have received charms from Cindy. Many Apologies for my confusion earlier - having a very busy and hectic week here.
Michelle and I did an unofficial fabric swap on the side. And we both received what we were sending.
And the only other charms I have in my stash are from Dan from last month.
So am thinking, and please correct me if I am wrong, I think I have not received from Sharon.
Best to you and my apologies for my confusion!,
This is how hectic the week has been for me and DH ... even the tooth fairy was 5 days late getting to our house this week. Got my desk cleaned off just now. Am usually more organized than this. Hoping this coming week is not so hectic.
Best to you,
I just sent an apology email to Cindy. Hope you can forgive me. So very sorry for the confusion on my end. Having a hectic week. Truly hope you do not bow out of the group because of my screw up. This really is a group of really nice people.
Humbly and apologetically yours,
Sandra aka quiltingfox
Sandra, don't feel bad! I've received charms from Jeanne and one other person, but because I didn't get online the night I received them, I couldn't remember who they were from. Then I just saw Melinda's post and realized that hers were still on their way, so I must've received from Cindy too!
So, Cindy, I'll say "thank you" for those charms right now before I forget again!
I think the lesson we can all learn here is that it's okay to admit how forgetful we are, and to post a thank you a little late is a whole lot better than never posting one at all.
Now, while we're waiting for the last of the charms to be received and drooled over, let me just say that the November swap has been posted, and is shaping up to be very interesting! Linda is serving up those special brownies and spiking the tea, and we're all finding new sources online which are giving us ideas on how to make pin cushions! I never knew there were so many ways to make a pin cushion!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Lets see if my mind is working today. From the posting I've read this is who and what was recieved. Unless not reported.
gmom sent to: Linda, Sandra, Michelle. SANDRA'S HAS NOT BEEN RECIEVED.
Dan sent to: Linda, Cindy, Malinda. MALINDA'S HAS NOT BEEN RECIEVED.
Linda sent to: Cindy, Melinda, Michelle. ALL 3 HAVE NOT RECIEVED.
Jeanne sent to: Dan. DAN'S HAVE NOT BEEN RECIEVED.
Cindy sent to: Dan, Sandra, Michelle. ALL 3 RECIEVED!
Sandra sent to: Sharon, Cindy. ALL 2 RECIEVED!
Melinda sent to: Sharon, Dan. SHARON, DAN NOT RECIEVED
Michelle sent to: Sharon, Jeanne, Linda. SHARON NOT RECIEVED YET.
I'm hoping this is right. And yes it is hard to remember when we get what, if for some reason we can not post right away. So don't let it worry you and do it when you can.
The weather here is rainy and cool. So...I will be cutting blocks for World Relief Quilts. I have all my sheet scraps from last years quilts. If I can get them cut they are easy to sow up. This evening I will be canning pickled beets.
Have a GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!!
Cindy and I chatted via email yesterday and today and I am happy to say that things are good between Cindy and I. This is a really good way to start my week. Thank you for your forgiveness Cindy! :-)
Best to you and many thanks,
Sandra aka quiltingfox
Last night I received my charms from Melinda, along with a Halloween card! I must admit, I found myself asking myself why I was receiving this card, having forgotten all about this swap because my mind has been on Halloween and carving pumpkins. So, when I got inside and was able to sit down with the mail (after having been thoroughly mugged by the Wee Beasties!) I found a terrific surprise! The card is great, and the charms are so, well, charming! LOL! They've got a definite "fall" air about them, and I can't wait to use them!
Thanks Melinda!
I am going to close the thread out on Monday so if you have not gotten all your charms for October you need to post. Sandy has not gotten hers from me so I send a new one out yesterday.
She should have it when she comes back from RV'ing.
Any one else needs to report they are short so we can this closed out.
Hi everyone,
I don't normally read the Seeds and Stiches posts, but was checking this out and had a question. What are quilt charms? I searched online and what I saw I would call quilt blocks. I have done a little quilting (very little) but I have never heard the term "charm". Could someone explain?

|"Three Parts" LP from Cejero label in Denmark – $23 – mastered by Rashad Becker – U.S. sales only, others inquire before ordering
Buy It Here
"Now the previously unreleased material recorded in El Cajon, California, 1991 is ready for release via Denmark's Cejero. The three pieces are among Turman's most hypnotic and sparse recordings. Layers of mystical tones wind in and out of each other in off-center patterns, creating a simple, yet spatial and truly unique atmosphere. No one but Robert Turman could have created this music." – Cejero –
"Three Parts" is released in an edition of 500 copies on black vinyl in reversed cardboard covers, which features a drawing by Belgium artist Henri Jacobs."
|Way Down reissue LP from Spain on clear vinyl – $23
Way Down reissue CD from Russia, in jewel case – ON SALE! – $10
U.S. sales only, others inquire before ordering
Buy It Here
"Turman released a number of cassettes over the course of the 80s, drawing on a wide range of experimental techniques. On Way Down, first released on Actual Tapes in 1987, he combined the psych noisy industrial drone aesthetic he was best known for with a spry, danceable minimal synth sound, albeit one fleshed out with guitars, pianos, tape loops and samples.
Cold, but not too dark, with a reliance on melody not expected from this area of music. It's a great record, murky as hell but also engaging and accessible. Robert Turman is one of the most underrated figures to come out of industrial music's earliest days. "Way Down" is a cold 80's freak-out." Elvis Von Doom
|Flux – CD – $15 – Spectrum Spools – Austria – U.S. sales only, others inquire before ordering
Buy It Here
"Flux" is the 1981 debut solo outing of Robert Turman, an American multi-instrumentalist and avant-garde composer. Until recently, Turman was perhaps best known for his contributions to the ballistic NON project with Boyd Rice, as well as other obscured U.S. industrial acts such as Z.O. Voider.
In the summer of 1981 Turman decided he would take a drastic turn from the noisy/electronic/industrial work of his compatriots, and began work on what is now the classic "Flux" cassette. "Flux" was originally self-released in extremely limited numbers. Weary of the noisescapes of old, he set out to create long-form minimalism utilizing kalimba, piano, "Mini-Pops Jr." drum machine, and tape loops to create a complex bed of interweaving micro-stasis'. The results of these new experiments were as beautiful as they were perplexing.
A curious dusty fidelity carries these classic tracks across four sides of vinyl, including all of the original "Flux" content. These compositions glow with a sprawling, slow motion haze that's light years ahead of its time. "Flux" reveals wide spectrums of sound from melancholic kalimba and percussion patterns to slowed down, syrupy Exotica. Turman had complex ideas in his mind yet only the simple technologies of the day were at hand. Hear the click of the stopping and starting Tascam 3340 open-reel tape machine as one hand presses the "record" and "play" buttons and the other plays piano phrases. While there are similarities in style to Classical Minimalism, Turman's sound and vision is his own and is exclusive to his limited discography.
Lovingly remastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates and Mastering from the original c-60 cassette master.
Original cassette artwork and scans provided by Aaron Dilloway.

"I ordered these thank you notes expecting them to arrive just a day or so before I needed them. They arrived a week earlier then planned. I am extremely pleased with the look and quality of these."
"i ordered the coordinating invitations for my sister's baby shower, so getting the thank you notes was a no brainer. they are so adorable! like the invitations, they are modern, whimsical, fun, and fit my sister's personality. the weight of the paper is heavy and the print quality is superb. i opted to personalize the envelopes, too. one less thing she will have to worry about! delivery was quicker than expected."
"I used this as a thank you card for gifts I received at baby showers. Instead of a name at the bottom, I just wrote "thank you". The cards are small, but there was still plenty of room to write. I was very happy with the overall look and feel of the cards. Definitely unique, fun, and cheerful!"
"I ordered these thank you cards to match the invitations my mom's friends used for my shower. They were just as cute as the invitations and everyone loved that they matched!"
"Fantastic gender neutral thank you card for baby gifts. Simple and chic--this card makes a great statement without overdoing it. Excellent paper quality and fabulous color. Perfect all around."

Australia's Jai Courtney, currently seen emulating on-screen papa Bruce Willis in the fifth "Die Hard", has joined the cast of the book-to-screen adaptation "Divergent".
Based on the novel of the same name, it's Neil Burger's futuristic thing where people are divided into factions based on personality.
"Amazing Spider-Man 2″ star Shailene Woodley plays the lead, a girl classified as someone that doesn't fit into any specific group. She uncovers a conspiracy to kill people like herself, who are considered dangerous.
Courtney, who was also seen in "Jack Reacher" and TVs "Packed to the Rafters" back home, is playing the character of 'Eric' according to the film's Twitter account.
Zoe Kravitz, Ansel Elgort and Maggie Q are also onboard the film, written by "Snow White & The Huntsman" scribe Evan Daugherty.

Tour de France 2013: Chris Froome retains yellow jersey
Tour de France
- Dates: Saturday, 29 June - Sunday, 21 July (8 and 15 July are rest days)
Coverage: Live commentary on the final hours of each stage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra or online; live text commentary on BBC Sport website
Briton Chris Froome survived a series of attacks to retain the leader's yellow jersey after a punishing stage nine of the Tour de France.
It was won by Ireland's Dan Martin, who outsprinted Jakob Fuglsang after the two men made a late breakaway.
But the main drama focused on Team Sky's Froome, who lost all of his team-mates early in the day, including Richie Porte, who started in second.
"After Saturday's stage it was a bit of a surprise that Team Sky were so bad. Richie Porte should not be getting dropped so early in the race because they were not the biggest of mountains today.
"I can see that maybe one or two riders were feeling it after Saturday but it's odd the whole team weren't there.
"Movistar ended up doing the Team Sky job of riding tempo on the front of the bunch but their motivation was to get rid of Porte on what turned out to be a bad day for the Australian - he needs to recover because Froome will need him.
"But Froome deserves a lot of credit for keeping a cool head when he was isolated and in the end, nobody had the legs to beat him."
Alejandro Valverde is now second, one minute 25 seconds behind Froome.
It was a gripping and engrossing stage in the Pyrenees that saw Team Sky's Peter Kennaugh go down in an early crash and team-mate Porte, who looked so strong on Saturday as he helped Froome claim yellow, slip badly off the pace and eventually finish 17 minutes 59 seconds after the stage winner.
"All in all it was a tough day for the team," said Team Sky boss Sir David Brailsford.
"Everybody decided to take it on early and thankfully Chris had the legs to look after himself.
"He is a very resilient guy and he is going well - and if you are going well then that is what counts. He did not feel under pressure physically all day.
"Yesterday was one of our best days and today was one of our toughest. Everyone who said yesterday that the race was probably over can think again."
Froome's grip on the yellow jersey looked to be loosening as his team-mates struggled to keep pace in a race that was splintered on the first of five punishing mountain climbs.
The Garmin-Sharp team of eventual stage winner Martin were chiefly responsible with Britain's David Millar among the first of their riders to up the pace.
Brits in Tour de France yellow
- Bradley Wiggins - 2012 (13 days)
- Chris Boardman - 1994, 1997, 1998 (6 days in total)
- David Millar - 2000 (3 days)
- Chris Froome - 2013 (2 days)
- Sean Yates - 1994 (1 day)
- Tom Simpson - 1962 (1 day)
On the second climb, Garmin-Sharp duo Tom Danielson and Ryder Hesjedal attacked and reached the summit first, while Birmingham-born Martin sprinted clear on the final mountain with Astana rider Fuglsang.
Martin and Fuglsang were allowed to move clear by Froome because they posed less of a threat to his overall race lead than other riders in the group, and he was more concerned with keeping tabs on Movistar duo Valverde and Nairo Quintana, and Saxo-Tinkoff's two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador.
The Movistar team maintained a well-marshalled presence towards the front of Froome's group throughout the race and, after failing to shake off the British rider in the valleys, they tried to break him on the day's final mountain ascent.
Three times Quintana attacked and three times Froome, who claimed yellow on Saturday, brought him back.
However, the expected counter-attack from either Valverde or Contador failed to materialise and the riders all reached the final summit together.
The final 30km was predominantly downhill and Froome was able to keep pace with his rivals as they all finished 20 seconds behind Martin.
Bauke Mollema moved up to third in the general classification, with Laurens ten Dam now fourth.
Martin, 26, won a stage of this year's Volta a Catalunya and the Liege-Bastogne-Liege one-day race.
"I knew the last corner was crucial," said Martin of his stage victory on Sunday.
"I was quite confident of being a faster sprinter than Jakob but you never know what is going to happen.
"I was very confident and that comes from the victories I have had this year - it gives you a calmness."
Team Sky are down to eight riders after Vasil Kiryienka was forced to abandon the race after finishing outside the time limit.
The first rest day of the Tour is on Monday, before the race resumes in Saint-Gildas-des-Bois on Tuesday, with a 195km stage that is expected to finish in a bunch sprint in Saint-Malo.

Frazee Turkey Days Parade
Frazee closed out its annual Turkey Days celebration with a parade down Main Street on Sunday afternoon.
Hundreds of people lined the streets to watch the floats, and the kids kept busy picking up all of the candy that participants threw to onlookers.
A cannon near the rear of the parade provided a thrill as it was fired off every few hundred feet.

Articles by Section - Columns
Listing articles 41 to 50 of 61
Columns: IFT and IAFP Deliver Knowledge
As I contemplate my topic for this issue's column, Labor Day is around the corner and I'm reflecting on this summer. Where did it go? What did I learn? How do I use this summer's life experiences to my advantage?
Columns: Fight Pathogens and Microbes in Processing Areas
Purchasing new or used equipment that adheres to the 2005 Food Code's criteria and has National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) approval gives you a chance to properly clean and sanitize all food contact surfaces in your facility. No matter who approves the equipment, if you do not sanitize properly, the food safety risk will remain huge for your operation and your customers. We will now concentrate on some critical equipment sanitation issues.
Columns: The FDA Shifts From Food Safety to Public Safety
In recent years, food-related illnesses followed by highly publicized product recalls have created concerns that food product regulation in the United States is inadequate. The food industry has a complex regulatory structure, divided among many federal, state, and local authorities, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) handling almost all federal food inspections other than meat products.
Columns: Controlling Pests Requires Staff Participation
In any food processing plant, a pest management program is only as strong as the employees who implement it. To ensure a successful pest management program, the staff should be given training about prevention of pest problems before they occur. Not only does this serve as a low-cost training opportunity in a stressed economy, but it also can save money long-term by preventing pest problems that would require costly remediation.
Columns: Outsourcing Sanitation a Smart Alternative
After a string of high-profile nationwide foodborne illness outbreaks in 2009, food safety reform is a high priority for legislators and consumers alike. Big changes are on the horizon to overhaul the federal agencies that ensure that consumers are protected against the bacteria and disease that contaminate food and threaten overall security.
Columns: Editor's Letter
These are times of change. The economic turmoil of the last 18 months has shaken global confidence, and many wonder what the future will bring. It has also been a challenging time for the food industry. Numerous food recalls and scandals in this country and other parts of the world have led people to question things that were once unassailable, such as the quality and safety of their food.
Columns: Send a Strong Message
Last week a colleague forwarded an eNewsletter to me that jogged my memory. I just can't believe it's true. During a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions food safety hearing on October 22, Freshman Senator Al Franken asked Margaret Hamburg, MD, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) commissioner, about the status of the criminal prosecution of Peanut Corporation of America (PCA).
Columns: Back to Basics: Sanitation Training and Education
After an extended holiday from my column, I would like to get back to basics and examine how to educate sanitation crews. If a sanitation crew knows both why they are doing the job and the importance of doing it correctly, they can take pride in the accomplishment of a job well done. I will use my sanitation handbook as a reference guide.
Columns: Mmmm … Bacon
The end of the year is always an opportunity to make lists of things like the top news stories of the year, the top scientific breakthroughs, and other great advances. But when a decade is ending, the lists come even more fast and furious.
Columns: QA/QC Finally Gets Some Respect
Nearly two decades ago, Food Quality was launched as the first publication to exclusively target the food quality and safety market. The world—and the food industry—were a lot different back then.

M.A./Ph.D. Program in Depth Psychology Emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies
The M.A./Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with Emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies is a Hybrid online/low-residency program with residentials taking place four times a year in Santa Barbara. Applications are currently being accepted for an April start date.
Join us on Wednesday, March 25 at 2:00 p.m. PDT for a toll-free teleconference call with Dr. Jennifer Leigh Selig. Dr. Selig will present "Why Asking 'What Can I Do With a Degree in Depth Psychology or Mythology?' is a Good Question, but the Wrong Question: Vocation from a Depth Psychological Perspective." To sign up for this free event please fill out the online form.
Based primarily on the work of C. G. Jung and James Hillman, the Jungian and Archetypal Studies program takes depth psychology out of the clinical consulting room into the world at large, critically exploring a range of topics central to our understanding of the role of the unconscious psyche in human experience. These topics include healing, myth, dream, film, soul, spirit, ecology, religion, cultural phenomena, creativity, personal transformation, individuation, the development of consciousness, and more.
The course of study provides skills and practices that students can apply directly in their professional, personal, and creative lives. Students evaluate both the limitations and the potentials of Jungian psychology in contemporary contexts. Working together in a dynamic learning community, they advance, apply, and imagine new extensions for these theories and practices in the world.
Students in the Jungian and Archetypal Studies Specialization
- Read deeply and broadly from Jung's Collected Works and The Red Book, as well as other core texts in the depth psychological tradition
- Engage with the creative, dynamic unconscious in both its personal and collective dimensions
- Deepen the capacity for critical, imagistic, symbolic, mythic, and archetypal thinking and being in the world
- Hone the expression of a unique voice and vision through courses in research, writing, publication, and presentation
- Study side by side with Jungian scholars and analysts interested in envisioning new possibilities for extending Jungian theories and practices into the world
From Dr. Keiron Le Grice, the Program Chair:
"By stimulating and supporting the rigorous scholarship and creative research of our students, we hope to further the crucial task of advancing depth psychological ideas and practices as catalysts for individual and cultural transformation."

This was simply put, amazing. It interesting how an old R&B soul classic can be turned into a great techno track. Please extend this even further, we are all dying to hear more. You get a 9/10 for the fact that it is only 30 seconds long. Please extend it, and you will get the full 10 you deserve.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Lovely with lots of potential
This has so much potential--I hope you continue it!
I agree with a previous reviewer--the beginning is strange. Not the idea of a single piano, but rather the sound of a lone piano in an octave a bit too low to be as breathtakingly beautiful as it could be with this lovely melody.
But YES. Even though it's just a short snippet of where you're going--I love it! It's so beautiful!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great. You should definitly extend it
It sounds wonderful. It would most definitely sound great if it were extended.

Thank you!!!
to be honest i was looking for something like this. A nice concert piano into something on the other side of the spectrum. I urge you to make a longer verson because its blowing everyone away!

New Ming Aralia
I purchased a beautiful 6' tall Ming Aralia last week. She is adjusting to a north facing window and gets a lot of light in the morning. When it's not to windy, I keep the window near her open. I have heard the Mings have an adjustment period so I have tried to keep from disturbing the plant. I watered her once, as she was quite dry and have sprayed her leave with water a few times. For the most part her leaves are still green, but there are clumps of leaves that have turned yellow. These leaves are not dried an shriveled, rather limp. Is this part of the transition process or indicative of a greater problem. I would be very appreciative of some feedback and I would really like her to thrive.
Thank you!
Sorry, but Ming is neither a cactus nor a succulent. It's formal name is Polyscias or Ming Aralia (or Polyscias Ming). I think it MAY be a semi-tropical, thought to original in Asia.
It's said to be quite sensitive to moving but I'd guess in time it'll settle down.
I've never had one larger than 12" tall. For that size, likely you spent some serious $$, if it were mine, I'd consult the vendor who sold it to me.
a pic would be very helpful. of the whole plant.
aralia shouldn't be quite dry - leaves drop then. they should never completely dry out. what sort of soil it's in?
what is the size of the pot?
commercial plants up to 6' can grow in 14" pots.
but they are watered properly and kept warm and in hi humidity.
do you see the sides of the soil pulling away from the pot?
chances are the rootball is extremely compacted, and the water does not penetrate well. you need to water carefully sev times: water in 1 cup slowly, then another 1 cup in an hour, then may be next day give it one more cup.
check with a chopstick all the way deep to see how damp is the soil. evenly damp all the way is good.
then do not water until the surface becomes barely damp and the chopstick is barely moist. but do not let it dry more then half way down. but it should not be wet/soggy or standing in water.
misting daily is very good. to grow well it needs to be warm , at least 70F, 80F is best and at least 60% humidity, 80% is much better. sev hours of morning sun or diffused western sun is optimal. it won't grow much in just northern light, even if it's very bright.

Mine had some lower leaves that turned yellow when I first got it. They would fall on their own in time and brushing them with my hand would oftentimes get them to drop immediately. While it worried me at the time, the new growth was always green and healthy. After a few weeks, it stopped dropping leaves and has adjusted nicely to my home. I would keep an eye on yours, but these plants are known to drop some leaves when they change environments. So long as the new growth on yours remains healthy, I wouldn't worry much.
Thanks Petrushka! I really don't know what soil it is in. Is there a way I can tell? I did not change the soil since I bought it a week and change ago. I wasn't sure if it was watered when I got it so last week I gave it 2 cups of water. The top is still damp so I was going to wait. The leaves that are falling off are not dry. just limp and yellow. The inner pot is about 13" x 30" deep.
pot can't be 13" x30" ! you mean 13"x13"?
take a skewer or a chopstick and sink it into the soil half way between the stem and the pot rim. then take it out and observe: how far down is it wet? or is it just damp? or it is dry on the bottom?... it's like a cake test.
then you report the results. this way you can determine how far the water went - if you watered deep or not.
for ming aralia in big pots most roots are not on the surface, they are at the bottom of the pot. so if you just watered the surface, the bottom might be dry - and the plant will drop leaves.

Makes 2 cups
The original green goddess recipe is said to have been created in the early 1920s by chef Philip Roemer at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco for an event honoring actor George Arliss, who starred in the hit play "The Green Goddess." The classic mayonnaise-based dressing, boldly flavored with anchovy and tarragon, can easily be prepared in a blender or food processor. It is delicious over a variety of lettuces, mixed into chicken salad, served as a dip for raw vegetables or steamed artichokes, or even drizzled on fish.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Garlic cloves, peeled (optional)
1. Add all ingredients, except the garlic cloves, to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until needed.
2. If using as salad dressing: Just before serving, clean and cut selected lettuces into bite-size pieces. Rub a wooden bowl with the garlic cloves, then add greens and toss with enough dressing to coat.

(5) Attention should be paid to all childhood needs.

(7) Progressive schools are laboratories to increase learning.
He equated learning with freedom. He warned against uneducated masses. He opposed dual track education.
"The world in which most of us live is a world in which everyone has a calling and occupation, something to do," he said.
"Some are managers and others are subordinates. But the great thing for one as for the other is that each shall have had the education which enables him to see within his daily work all there is in it of large and human significance."- Advertisement -
Education should be more than creating "human capital."
"The inclination to learn from life itself and to make the conditions of life such that all will learn in the process of living is the finest product of schooling."
He believed both in liberal arts and real-world skills teaching. Everyone should have a chance for "large and human significance" in their lives and work.
In 1897, he published his "pedagogic creed." Learning begins "unconsciously almost from birth."
"I believe that the individual who is to be educated is a social individual and that society is an organic union of individuals."
"If we eliminate the social factor from the child we are left only with an abstraction; if we eliminate the individual factor from society, we are left only with an inert and lifeless mass."
Schools are social institutions, he believed. They should be integrated into community life. "Education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform."
He called the ideal school one that serves individual and institutional needs. He said "the community's duty to education is (a) paramount moral duty."

One of my favorite movies is The Sound of Music with Julie Andrews. The song Do-Re-Mi has a verse that states 'Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start'. That could be the approach for almost any project, including getting a CSR program started.

Buying and Selling Information, by career salesperson Michael L. Gruenberg, is a guide to help buyers of information services (think subscription-based online databases). Beyond this very specific case, Gruenberg has good advice to offer buyers and sellers of any product or service. He is a salesperson who 'gets it' – or understands the need for buyers and sellers to work together for their mutual benefit, and for the benefit of their organizations. In his own words, "It's all about equal footing, momentum, and success" (xviii).
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
- Peter Drucker
If we knew what the future held for procurement, we would undoubtedly change some of what we are doing today. Since is it impossible for any of us to be certain about the future, our best option is to form a vision for what we hope the future will hold and align our initiatives to that vision.
When our children were old enough to stay home without a baby sitter, they would light up the house like a beacon. We could come home and I think every light was on in the house. It was their security blanket at the time. It made us smile. From a carbon footprint perspective, it was a BIG FOOT on those evenings.
I have had the opportunity to be in the selection and implementation of MANY supply chain solutions. There were bumps along the way and lessons learned as well. I know some of you think this was in the dinosaur days, but before there were packages to buy, everything was home grown to custom processes and requirements. Often a pitfall was that IT would gather the requirements and disappear while they were building it. Then when it was presented to the business user, it was not really what they wanted. Everyone learned it was an iterative approach and a business lead was a critical component to a successful implementation.

This week's featured webinar notes are from an April 16th webinar presented by ivalua with guest speakers from Spend Matters and HAVI Global Solutions. The event is available on demand here
We make choices every day in relation to our health, our family, our community and our profession. Some choices are straight forward and easy to make. Many times there are areas of grey and that brings with it a measure of ambiguity.
This guest post is a team effort from Source One Management Services. If you would like to comment, you can do so by posting below, contacting them on Twitter @GetSavings, or contacting them directly here.
The outlets for procurement and supply chain news have no shortage of recommendations for improved business processes, new ideas, and technologies your department should implement to "modernize" or "optimize" or any number of other "-izes". If you have read any of Source One's contributions – here, on other publications, or on our own blog – we make just as many recommendations.
I recently attended a supplier presentation that was horrendous. Their product was amazing but they really blew it. The team interrupted and contradicted each other. They were unable to get their technology and projector to work. They were not prepared for Plan B. It was a terrible first impression.
One of the best things about having good relationships with publishers is that I end up reading and reviewing titles that range beyond procurement or spend management. And yet, there is no question that the value and competitive advantage of a well-managed supply chain runs right through the center of all business strategy books.
I had the opportunity to attend a conference where the keynote speaker was Blake Mycoskie of Toms Shoes.
Last month, Alun Rafique from Market Dojo and I co-wrote an article for Procurement Insights about Variables in the Adoption of Auctions. A discussion about the article really picked up steam in the ISM group on LinkedIn, and one of the questions posed in response was "Someone explain to me how a Reverse Auction is fair and equitable to the supplier..."
After considering that question carefully, Market Dojo published an article that asks a question in response: "Should Suppliers Still Fear eAuctions?" The article, which you can read here, takes an interesting look at the progression of auctions from carefully managed consultant resource, to part of an ERP system, to their somewhat questionable state today – in limbo in a world where procurement is driven to create as much value as savings. A third question in this discussion might be, are auctions still relevant?
As seasons change, we clean out our closets and freshen up the household. We may wash windows, and take on household projects like painting and planting gardens.
This week's webinar notes are from an April 9th event presented by Puridiom and Lunney Advisory group. Dr. Soheila Lunney, the president of Lunney Advisory Group and the primary presenter, addressed a number of topics related to a professional environment that increasingly emphasizes collaboration and partnership over the aggressive winner take all approach.
Dr. Lunney is also the co-author of The Procurement Game Plan with Charles Dominick of the Next Level Purchasing Association. You can read my review of the book here, as well as Part 1 and Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Lunney.
There was a factory fire about 20 years ago in the Boston area. The owner, Aaron Feuerstein, continued to pay the workers until the factory was rebuilt. That was exceptional and unheard of in business. This remarkable story of Malden Mills was on CBS news at the time. Mr Feuerstein was referred to as a Mench – a person of integrity and honor.
In a recent Buyers Meeting Point guest post Bryan Robinson asked What if the US Government Embraced Strategic Sourcing?
Cynically upon reading the title my first thought was... "Nothing."
The issue isn't FAR and it isn't the people doing the sourcing, like nearly all things it comes down to incentives.

Oke Christopher Poems
She Wants To Be Adored
I watched from the stairs of my home As she brushed her hair with a glassy comb. It's Saturday night and the speakers are singing, The cars are rushing by, urged by the men they are bringing.
Drifting Lover
Once was noted a young man among the youth He was noisy and in him was a sweet tooth He loved the lilies and they loved him too He loved the roses and they loved him too
To Astra
Shining star on high, Behold the earth, behold you draw nigh, You flame of dust, Art thou doused with lust?
Tears Of A Clown
The tears of a clown Are shed alone, Each teardrop running on its own. The tears love the dark places lined with stone.
The Secret
One day, during my lonely travel, I found a periwinkle that stole my marvel I took it to my ear to learn its secret, It told me to move on 'else I miss it
Live Beautiful
Though the hurts may avail long and the pain may burn hot, the picture will be shot and the pain shall be the beauty that tags along.
I carved your space when I was eighteen, Before then were eleven and seven flowers, But now, nine and eight are taken. Before then, my visage was shadowed with fears.
Will Of God
I thought me strong, But I was wrong. I thought I held might, But it took flight.
Oft I sit in the shadow of dark nights Sprinkled softly with twinkling little lights Would it not be heaven that you were here? I would give all I have to have you here...
Sometimes a wolf, sometimes a panther Sometimes a clown, sometimes a man sobriety is after And a philosopher, and a youth with a broken mind And a strong man, and a weakling of some kind
Once, we bore news, News of a new god to lead men He was made unlike them Made to see farther and unseemly acts to hem
I heard water once covered the Sahara, That its pitiful plains were filled with impala, But time and season did draw them apart. Save apocalypse, what can unite the ocean and the desert?
Lunar XVII
You and I have been for 17 moons Seventeen I would rather stretch for eternity But precious Providence's boons Allows for new times everyday
Battle Of Victor
I am in view of light, In sight of peace Quite within freedom It is, within my grasp...

The cars are rushing by, urged by the men they are bringing.
It's Saturday night and the booze is plenty,
Before her date tonight, four bottles are already empty.
Leering lecherously, he pulled her close,
He showed her the pills and she took one dose
He snorted loudly and licked her face,
He called her sexy and they went to her place.
He awoke a little before quarter to four,
Hurriedly and harriedly drove off in his ...

Surge in early balloting alters Florida races
Results could prove more important to Democrats than thought
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 1:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 1:44 p.m.
BOCA RATON, Fla. A surge of early voting by Florida Democrats and Republicans has startled officials here and injected additional complexity into the states presidential primaries on Tuesday.
Democratic candidates are not overtly campaigning here because of the Democratic National Committees decision to penalize the state for moving its primary to an earlier date than authorized by the national party, but the number of early votes cast suggests intense interest in the race.
The activity appears fueled in part by unofficial efforts by Florida supporters of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Senator Barack Obama of Illinois.
By Friday night, nearly 350,000 Democrats had cast early votes, either in person or by mail, and party officials predicted that about 400,000 will have voted by Election Day. By contrast, just 97,000 Democrats voted early in the 2004 presidential primary, which was not as intensely contested. There are 4.14 million Democrats registered to vote in Florida.
The level of interest, if it is matched by turnout at the polls on Tuesday, could make the results in Florida more important for Democrats than they had assumed, given both the absence of candidates here and the fact that no delegates are at stake. The Democratic National Committee penalized Florida for holding its primary too early, saying it would not seat its delegates.
Along with the Democratic contest in South Carolina on Saturday, the Florida results could help set the stage for the almost nationwide primary battle on Feb. 5. Three days before the polls are to open here, the number of Democrats who have voted here has already exceeded the turnout in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.
There is a race going on, said Karen Thurman, the chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, who has been urging Floridians to defy the national party and vote. And there will still be a headline: So-and-so has won Florida.
There has also been a flood of early ballots from Republican voters which has, again, already exceeded the turnout in the contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. As of Friday night, nearly 400,000 party Republicans had cast early votes, either in person or by mail, party officials reported. By contrast, just under 200,000 Republicans had voted in person or by mail at this point in 2006, when there was a heavily contested Republican primary for governor. There were 3.8 million Republicans qualified to vote on Tuesday.
That development offers at least a glimmer of hope to Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York. He has made a calculated effort to get his supporters to vote early over the past month, hoping to bank a substantial number of votes before losses in other early states raised questions about his viability and his competitors arrived in the state, driving down his numbers in the polls.
As late as Thursday, Mr. Giuliani, at an appearance here, was still reminding supporters to vote for him early, as he has done at almost every stop here this month. We are already voting, right? he asked the crowd.
Florida is one of 37 states that permit residents to vote early, either with early voting or wide-open absentee voting, according to Electionline.org, a Pew Center Web site that tracks election law. This is the first big test of the practice in 2008, preceding the Feb. 5 primaries, when seven more states will count early votes as part of their final tallies.
Advocates of early voting argue that it makes it easier for people to vote in some states, 50 percent of the votes are cast in advance while taking pressure off voting machines and making Election Day easier to manage.
But the practice has been questioned by some academics, who note that voters often make their decisions before they have a chance to hear all the arguments that lead to a final voting decision. Mr. Giulianis supporters and some rivals said his effort to bank early votes could save him from a devastating defeat, even though it may not be enough to bring him victory, and thus serve as a case study of one of the objections to the system.
This is a case where some of the flaws in early voting are exposed, said Paul Gronke, a political scientist at Reed College in Portland, Ore., who is a consultant to Electionline.org.
The rush of Democrats to vote before Tuesdays primary has come despite Democratic candidates having stayed out of the state in deference to the Democratic National Committee and a pledge they signed to the four states with authorized early contests: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.
Still, unlike in Michigan, the other state that defied the Democratic National Committee and went ahead with an early primary, the names of Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama and a third candidate, John Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, are on the ballots that Floridians saw when early voting started 15 days before the primary and on absentee ballots that were distributed as early as Dec. 15.
The Democratic surge here is hardly taking place in a vacuum. Mrs. Clinton has a network of supporters, including elected officials, who have organized get-out-the-vote efforts and are planning statewide victory parties. One prominent Clinton supporter, Gerald W. McEntee, the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, was headed here this weekend to urge union members to turn out for Mrs. Clinton.
We have 26,000 members and we probably have a like amount of retirees there, Mr. McEntee said by telephone. We are going to have three or four meetings and give our pitch in terms of Hillary Clinton and ask them to be active in the remaining days of the campaign with the specific focus of trying to bring out three our four neighbors next Tuesday.
Mrs. Clinton is scheduled to fly here on Sunday for two fund-raisers. Although the events are not open to the press or public her aides said she would attend no public event that would result in her breaking her word her arrival here the day after the South Carolina vote seems likely to produce coverage on Florida television stations and newspapers on the day before the vote. On Friday, her campaign issued a statement saying that she would urge her delegates at the Democratic convention this summer to seat the Florida delegation.
Even as Mr. Obamas advisers have sought to play down the results, his campaign has bought television time on national networks that has been hard to miss on Florida television stations. Grass-roots groups who say they are operating independently of Mr. Obamas headquarters in Chicago have also been organizing across the state, trying to encourage support for him.
Terry Watson, who heads one of the grass-roots groups, said his organization handed out thousands of leaflets promoting Mr. Obama and asked Floridians to vote for him at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in St. Petersburg last Monday. Mr. Watson said his group was the largest grass-roots organization in the state and was preparing to help Mr. Obama should he win the presidential nomination.
Mrs. Clintons aides are hoping that, delegates or not, the attention paid to a potential big victory in Florida, the nations fourth-largest state, if not as prominent as a victory in other states to date, will at least give her a public relations boost heading into Feb. 5, and will mitigate against a potential defeat Saturday in South Carolina.
Heres the bottom line: Hundreds of thousands of Floridians are going to vote, said Howard Wolfson, the communications director for Mrs. Clintons campaign. They have been watching this campaign, and their votes and their preferences matter.
That has stirred concern in Mr. Obamas campaign; a front-page poll in The Miami Herald on Thursday showed Mrs. Clinton with a sizable lead.
Mr. Obamas campaign argued that the Florida vote is a meaningless beauty contest, given the absence of candidates in the state and the fact that no candidate will win delegates in a contest that both sides have increasingly viewed as a race for delegates, rather than states.
Although Senator Obama did not remove his name from the Florida primary ballot because Florida law did not allow him to do so, Senator Obama is firm in his commitment to neither participate nor campaign in the Florida primary and its outcome has no bearing on the nomination contest, Mr. Obamas campaign said in a memorandum sent to interested parties.
On the Republican side, party officials said Mr. Giuliani had made the most concerted effort to get his vote early. Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, decided not to move early on, calculating that it would not make sense to do so until he scored some victories and appeared to look politically viable, which has now happened. Financial problems led Senator John McCain of Arizona to close down his operation in the state last fall and he did not have the organization here to do a significant early voter turnout program.
Rudys people have aggressively worked the absentees, particularly in South Florida, said Sally Bradshaw, a longtime Florida Republican operative who is running Mr. Romneys campaign here. It makes sense for them to do so. They knew Rudy was not strong in the early primary states and they needed people to vote for Rudy before the results from that state came on.

Posts from Slow Cooker
Slow Cooking for Two by Cynthia Graubart
New Cookbook
The subtitle for this book should really be "Make your slow cooker work for you." I have never seen so many inventive, practical ways to put my slow cooker to use! I'm not just talking about recipes — though there are plenty of those, of course — but also cooking two meals at once in the same pot, using ramekins and cake pans to turn the slow cooker into a baking oven, and many more surprising ideas that ensure your slow cooker never sits still long enough to collect dust.
What Are Some Great No-Prep, No-Fuss Slow Cooker Recipes?
Good Questions
Q: I recently became the proud and lazy owner of a slow cooker, intended for use on days when I'm really strapped for time. After fruitless Googling I discovered that many slow cooker recipes still require the dirtying of multiple pots due to sautéing onions, browning meat, etc. Do you know of any slow cooker recipes that involve little (or no!) prep work?
Beyond Brats: Four Slow Cooker Recipes That Feature Beer
Beer is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, after water and tea. Beer is refreshing in every season, and the crisp ales and seasonal brews of fall are no exception. Even in my local Harlem grocery store, the beer selection is superb this time of year, the shelves lined with dark IPAs, pumpkin ales, and new ciders.
And while I will surely never tire of the classic beer and sausage pairings lining hearty menus this time of year, I find myself wondering why we don't cook with beer more often.
10 Reasons to Break Out the Slow Cooker
Recipes from The Kitchn
This is the best time of year to take your slow cooker down from the shelf and put it to work. Our days are as busy as ever, and the slow cooker offers a hot, fragrant meal that's ready when we walk in the door, meals like tacos with tender barbacoa beef, a bowl of curried vegetable stew, or even beef shanks in red wine for a slow-cooked date night.

How Often Do You Use a Slow Cooker?
Reader Survey
This week we're focusing on slow cookers — a subject we're quite passionate about here at The Kitchn. But before we get started, we're wondering if you use a slow cooker in your kitchen. If so, how often? What do you make? If not, please let us know why. Do you not like them or just haven't gotten around to trying one out?
Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just For You by Kathy Hester
New Cookbook
I didn't quite realize what a rut I'd gotten into with my slow cooker until settling down with this cookbook. I have my usual repertoire of seasonal soups and braises, and I'll pull it out for my semi-regular pulled pork cravings. But it would have never occurred to me to make, say, Scrambled Tofu Breakfast Burritos for my overnight guests. Or, say, an All-In-One Vegan Thanksgiving. (Seriously. It looks amazing.) If your slow cooker has been gathering dust lately, Vegan Slow Cooking is just the thing to get you back in the groove.
Fruit Butter? Make It In the Slow Cooker
How Do I Adjust Slow Cooker Recipes for a Smaller Pot?

The Southern Slow Cooker by Kendra Bailey Morris
New Cookbook
I can think of few things better than leaving my house in the morning and coming home to a Southern feast of BBQ-glazed pork ribs. Or corn chowder. Or chicken and dumplings. So it should come as no surprise that I am keeping this new book from Kendra Bailey Morris of Southern meals prepared in the slow cooker close by these days.

Pair of American Flyer remote switches. These are in excellent condition. Absolutely no rust or corrosion of any kind. At first I thought they were brand new but there is a few marks on the bottom of one. The top surfaces, rails and remote control unit are in near perfect condition. These may have been sent out for refurbishing. I believe the wiring is new. The track looks new. I'm just not sure if they're new or not, so I have listed them as used. But if I had bought these as new I would not have given it a second thought. See close-up photos. I have tested both units and they work smoothly. All the lights/signals work.

With only five weeks to go till graduation, the countdown begins in earnest for the photo shoot — another notch on the merry-go-round of Contour that signals achievement, change, progression and the ending of it all drawing ever nearer.
It is Easter but for me the weekend is completely devoid of anything remotely spring-like, not to mention any eggs; instead it is enveloped in a thick coating of lace appliqué. I cannot so much as move the mouse on my Mac for fear of knocking a little rosebud off into the fifth dimension.
As the photo shoot draws ever nearer, and the invisible thread reel grows ever thinner, a sick and unfriendly knot begins to grow inside my stomach, teamed with an unbearable concoction of curiosity, excitement and foreboding.
Will I get everything done in time? Will it fit? Will it Look good? What will the Photo look like? What if the shoes don't fit?
Rumours spread through texts, phone calls and Facebook messages about the models that only add to our already giant Lists Of Anxieties. All the questions and worries whirl round before reaching the pinnacle of emotion at 3 a.m., putting all my problem-solving skills to the test in a frenzy of irons, pins and last-minute stitches to make everything look absolutely perfect.
The Shoot really is one of my favourite parts of lingerie design. That moment when the camera flashes and you see the garment you have tirelessly worked on for months looking better than you ever even expected is just too special for words.
We were lucky enough in getting a location set, and even luckier with dazzling sunshine, beautiful and mesmerizingly perfect models, and the photographer Fabric LeChant, fresh back from the Maldives after having shot Tom Ford's campaign.
The photo shoot passed in a sort of heady, surreal daze, almost as if the sound was turned down the whole time and all I could focus on was if the garment was sitting right, the suspenders matched up okay and the waist band was perfectly in line. It only just about registered that, amazingly, through all the rushing around on the day and with the demand of all those poses, my strapless bra on the 30GG model stayed up. Perfectly.
With me and all my housemates physically shaking with the buzz and high from the photo shoot we rushed home excitedly, making plans for celebratory cocktails later. Apparently our exhausted bodies had other ideas for us, though.
What happened instead was we all woke up confused beyond belief at 6 a.m. the next morning, having clean passed out, on top of our beds, in all our clothes, with the lights on. Hedonistic students at our finest …
NEXT: Hitting The Wall
[Editor's Note: The Contour Fashion program at De Montfort University wraps up with the annual student catwalk show in London on June 7.]
Seven weeks to go! A freak heat wave has hit England this week, which naturally leads everybody to believe it is summer and take this fact seriously indeed. There are ice-cream vans, barbecues and unnecessary amounts of gut on display, littering my usually mundane walk to university. (more…)
The countdown to Final Collection officially begins in January, although from day one of university it's been on everyone's minds.
Inspiration folders and sketchbooks are brimming with three years' worth of preparation, and a desire to find a unique idea for our collections. Certain subjects are banned such as fishes, circuses, butterflies and fairies, along with techniques the tutors feel have been overdone, such as plastic moulding. (more…)
I am a final year lingerie design student at De Montfort University in Leicester, England, one of a very few universities in the world to offer a degree specializing in the construction and design of lingerie.

"Why not use a British Narrator?"
I am British and I find the reading of this great book very irritating. The narrator is clearly American as her British accent keeps slipping, and her attempts at regional accents are terrible - the Scottish being particularly cringe worthy. She has a lovely voice and makes a brave attempt but on the whole Americans find British accents difficult so why not use a British narrator? I found myself waiting for all the slip-ups ('noospaper') rather than following the story.

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Monday he wants a former state senator to head the Arkansas Education Department, but his selection will be able to take the job only if legislators change the qualifications for the post.
Johnny Key, a former Republican lawmaker from Mountain Home, is a former chairman of the Senate Education Committee. While he has been involved in a number of high-profile school issues over the past decade, he doesn't meet current standards because he hasn't been a teacher or a superintendent.
"With his view of education, with his background of education, he's the best person for the job," Hutchinson said at a news conference in his state Capitol conference room.
The state Board of Education must concur.
Key was in the Legislature when Arkansas changed its school funding plan in response to a state Supreme Court finding that it wasn't funding the K-12 public education system adequately and wasn't spreading the money fairly.
In recent years, he backed letting pupils transfer among districts as long as the move didn't violate desegregation orders and he supported a stair-step method of awarding scholarships from the state lottery — students receive more money the longer they work toward a degree.
"Our state has invested too much over its history in education for us not to keep moving forward, to set a high bar of expectation," Key said. "We are moving now from what we've been talking the last decade about, adequacy. We're going to start moving toward talking about excellence."
The now-defunct Lake View School District sued the state in the early 1990s, arguing that the state wasn't spending enough money on education and distributed money unfairly. Justices agreed and legislators spent most of the 2000s restructuring the 475,000-student public education system.
"We're now working with the third governor since the Lake View decision," Key said. "In the broader context, our achievements since Lake View, they're not where we want to be, but we have made remarkable strides."
He said a priority for early in his tenure would be returning the Little Rock School District to local control. The state Board of Education took over the 25,000-student district in January after six of its 48 schools had fallen into academic distress.
"The biggest public issue right now is the Little Rock School District," Key said. "Our capitol city has to have good schools. We're going to make that happen," he said.
