Better regulation
Better regulation is one of the AVA's five strategic priorities.
Veterinarians are regulated by legislation that varies between states and territories. Each state or territory has a board established by legislation that registers and regulates the veterinary profession, and veterinarians pay a registration fee each year in order to practice veterinary medicine in their state or territory.
This is a complex system for a small workforce of 11,000 registered veterinarians across Australia, and which creates difficulty in quickly and effectively mobilising qualified veterinarians across state borders in the event of a disaster or disease outbreak.
Laws vary significantly around which procedures may only be done by veterinarians, whether people who are not veterinarians can access veterinary medicines, and under what circumstances. To simplify regulation by removing unnecessary red tape, the AVA national harmonisation of all regulation of veterinary practice. In 2014, AVA completed a project to develop Recommended key principles for veterinary practice acts in Australia (updated May 2017). These key principles are the guidebook for all AVA advocacy in relation to veterinary legislation.
A commitment by the Council of Australian Governments to national recognition of veterinary registration (by state registration boards recognising the registration of veterinarians from other states and territories) has taken far too long to be implemented, and this should be fast-tracked.
Veterinarians are very concerned about a trend in some states that allows invasive procedures to be undertaken by non-veterinarians. These can have serious animal welfare implications for the animals, and create significant extra costs for animal owners. They include the use of power tools in equine dentistry, pregnancy testing in cattle, and spaying cattle.
Veterinarians are active and committed to retaining 'acts of veterinary science' in governing legislation to ensure that people who undertake invasive or potentially dangerous procedures on animals have the necessary education and training to do it safely and humanely. A widespread trend towards deregulation by Australian governments applies continuing pressure to remove the protection to animals and their owners afforded by legislated acts of veterinary science. At the same time, there are moves by some sporting organisations to require an additional and conflicting level of regulation on veterinarians that will counteract the existing provisions for investigating and disciplining vets.
In this broader context of pressures to both deregulate and over-regulate the profession, the AVA's concern beyond the interests of the veterinary profession. We are concerned about how these moves are likely to or are already affecting the welfare of animals. Another reason to get the regulation of vets right is to protect the consumers of veterinary services.
Australia's veterinary profession wants sensible and consistent regulation for the whole country that protects the welfare of animals and the rights of owners to a quality service, while also creating the environment for a sustainable and healthy veterinary profession in the long term.
In any given year, the AVA will be involved with a number of responses to proposed regulatory changes or reviews of existing arrangements. Veterinary practice legislation and supporting regulations are all subject to periodic review. Other regulatory provisions that affect veterinary practice are also part of this strategic priority program. These include:
- National veterinary chemicals regulation by APVMA
- State and territory drugs and poisons regulation
- Regulations around the use of x-ray and other therapeutic technologies
- Work health and safety regulation.
Current program priorities include advocating to the remaining jurisdictions that have not yet implemented national recognition of veterinary registration (ACT, NT and WA) to complete this process. There are also major reviews of veterinary legislation taking place in Queensland and WA that AVA is involved with.
- National recognition of veterinary registration - An initiative of Australian state and territory governments to streamline registration requirements for veterinarians
- Licensing vets involved in thoroughbred racing
- Review of the Queensland Veterinary Surgeons Act 1936 - 7 October 2013
- WA Veterinary Practice Bill 2015 (draft 6) - 27 February 2015

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by supaumar, Jun 9, 2010.
Which mail client?
The Gmail email "pushes" email to the phone without any request necessary from the phone. The regular email from Sprint/HTC/Android does not (I believe).
Yep, the gmail app automatically pushes email to the phone. You can do 2 things, turn off notifications and check whenever you want. or turn off sync, and sync whenever you want.
If you are using the standard mail app, theres a setting to change the polling.
You can cancel or remove Gmail.
Most consider the push situation an enormous plus. It saves battery life and you get email instantly.

**SPOILER ALERT** Martin Freeman tipped for TV wedding
Actor Martin Freeman is set to wed his longtime girlfriend Amanda Abbington – on hit TV show Sherlock. The Brit's character Dr. Watson will surprise fans by walking down the aisle when the hugely popular detective series returns to U.K. screens for a third series next week (begs30Dec13).
The faithful sidekick to super sleuth Sherlock Holmes, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, will marry Mary Morstan, who will be played by Freeman's real life partner of 13 years, Abbington.
He says, "It wasn't a John (Lennon) and Yoko (Ono) thing, where I said, 'I want my missus (girlfriend) in'.
"I think they (casting directors) had thought about it and Amanda is a really good Mary. If she was nothing to do with me, she'd still be someone who'd definitely come up for it."
Abbington's casting in the show prompted a backlash from some fans earlier this year (13), with Internet trolls going as far as to issue death threats to the actress via Twitter.com.
Freeman subsequently slammed the online abusers, saying, "To me, they're not fans of the show, they're fans of a show going on in their heads. Obviously I love Amanda and I want everyone to react positively to her; she plays a fantastic character and brings a hell of a lot to the third series."

I finally solved the bluescreen crashes in my Windows 7 desktop. All along, I suspected my video "card," which was actually built-in video on my motherboard.
When I upgraded my desktop, I decided to make use of the Intel video built into the motherboard. After all, most new computers have built-in video and, in my case, game-playing is not a significant use for my computer.
So, I plugged my monitor's HDMI cable into the motherboard's HDMI connector. All went well for several months, although the video system was by far the weakest link when I ran the Windows Experience Index ( found via Control Panel > System and Secruity > System ).
The symptoms were somewhat unusual. Many mornings, I would move my mouse to wake up my computer, only to find that I was at a log-in screen. After logging in, Windows finished its boot process and informed me that it had recovered from an error and had restarted. There was a link for more info, but that told me little more than that the system had blue-screened.
I thought I would be able to figure out where the bluescreen was occurring by turning off the automatic reboot-on-error feature.
Unfortunately, since the problem turned out to be the video card, that didn't help. The system would bluescreen, Windows would go to sleep, and upon awakening would not (or could not) restart the video card. As a result, I didn't get to see the bluescreen to see which program was crashing.
Finally, one weekend day, the video driver crashed during the daytime. I was able to see the screen while it was still being displayed as a bluescreen (before the computer went to sleep) and could see the problem was the video driver program.
After searching a bit at NewEgg.com (where I buy most of my hardware), I ordered a
Gigabyte GT520 video card. This uses the NVidia 520 chipset and has 1GB of DDR3 video-RAM.
The new video card solved the problem. It's not an expensive card, but it was what I wanted — and it does not have a fan to make noise!
Note that Windows Updates presented me with an even newer driver for the NVidia video chip. Unfortunately, I installed it, which killed the sound that was being sent through the video card and HDMI chip. A quick System Restore put me back the older driver that came with the card. All was well.
The almost-daily crash problem stopped! Yea!

Album Daniel Gassin Sextet
Price (piece): AUD $25.00 (includes 10% tax)
Australian-born of French and American parents, Daniel Gassin has a unique cultural heritage, the influences of which can readily be heard in his Sextet's debut album.
The first thing that strikes the listener about this self-titled first
release is the energy. Whilst it was recorded in the oft-sterile
surrounds of a studio, it has the freshness and drive usually reserved for
'live' recordings. The ensemble
playing is tight and powerful and gives voice to the compositional skills of
the leader.
The other members of the Daniel Gassin Sextet (according to Daniel):
Cam McAllister (trumpet/flugelhorn on tracks 5, 9 & 10) - A beautifully lyrical trumpet/flugelhorn player in the spirit of the tradition. Arguably even better is his skill in arranging and composing (for example 'Roundtrip' which was arranged by Cam). Of course, everyone has their faults - his backhand definitely needs work.
Pat Thiele (trumpet on tracks 1, 2, 4, 6 & 8) - A harder-edged player - most noticeably influenced by modern Australian jazz trumpet heavyweight Scott Tinkler. Aside from music, Pat also has a mastery of gourmet cooking, and expertise in (the drinking of) Shiraz, top-shelf scotch and Hendrick's gin.
Phil Noy (alto saxophone) - A real traditionalist with a beautiful sound (see for example his solo on 'Crossover'). A notably pure improviser (he only plays what he hears rather than resorting to 'licks') on an instrument which easily lends itself to overly scalic or pattern-type playing. He also has a real passion for the sound of things (hi-fi, saxophones, cymbals) which really comes across in his approach on the bandstand and in the recording studio.
Anton Delecca (tenor saxophone/flute) - A killing tenor player who can really go to town on a set of chord changes when the music calls for it. He has a great edgy sound on the album too (see for example his solo on 'Banff Song'). His need for regular mid-afternoon naps has earned him the nickname 'Nanton'."
Michael Story (double bass) - Kiwi bassist (nobody's perfect) with a rare combination of a beautiful sound but also a great groove and time feel.
Craig Simon (drums) - Good at almost everything he turns his hand to - especially the drums. He has a fantastic intensity and drive to his playing. Craig is also in the top five barristas in the country, so if you come to a Sextet gig, order a coffee during the break - he'll likely be working the machine, having already booted the bar staff off it.
Felipe Cornejo (bata drums on tracks 3 & 6) - The best "bata" percussionist in Melbourne. Definitely handier with percussion than with a Melways - once he found Daniel's place for rehearsal, it was easy going from there.

Change field in portal row
Wayne Irvine, in FileMaker Server 13

By Lowermountain
New to Filemaker and new to this forum. Hoping someone can help me out.
I am working on a personnel planning system with, among others, the tables Employees, Shifts and Availability.
tblEmployees has fields like Employee ID
tblShifts has the fields Employee ID, Start Timestamp, End Timestamp
tblAvailability has the fields Employee ID, Start Timestamp, End Timestamp and Status
When in the layout Shifts I want to open a portal in a popup and I want this portal to be sorted by Availability and I want the portal rows with employees to be 'greyed out' when status = 0, green when status = 1 and normal when no Availability is given.
I basically need to know which records from tblAvailability match records from tblShifts and then which records from tblEmployees match records from tblAvailability.
How do I go about this? Do I need SQL?
Hope this is a somewhat clear question. Many thanks!

I have read the guidelines for posts in this forum. Therefore I did not enter the Post title that came first in mind: Do I understand portals (aka do I understand Filemaker) and I do not emphasize now on being new in Filemaker issues.
I am trying to achieve something simple at a first step of a big plan: Entering recipes in a Filemaker testversion database.
The longterm goal should be a database in which I can enter my collected recipes.
Followed by tool for a weekly menu plan for my family and a shopping list coming out of the database after taking care of my fridge's stock => so far so good, but currently this is a plan for the next ten years I realized starting with Filemaker.
I searched different apps and database programs, and Filemaker seems to be my solution as I did not find anything that fits exactly my expectations.
So back to the first problem: how to enter my recipes?
I created a table of recipes with an unique ID_pk (I learned already about pk and fk), Name and How-To-Make-it as well as IDs(fk) from the other tables which are Zutaten (Ingredients) with the name and the amount, Form_Zutaten (how the ingredients are used i.e. chopped, sliced, etc.) and Einheit_Zutaten (unit i.e. cup, liter, etc.). Why I have choosen this structure: because all ingredients must be combinable with different units and how the are used. otherwise I have to enter e.g. avocado sliced, avocado mashed, etc. or make rules like liquids can only be liter or mililiter or cups while flour can only be gramms etc.
So a combination of all three tables should be possible.
What I though might be an easy task is to create a recipe layout than with
recipe ID
recipe name
and a dynamic portal depending on the number of ingredients constisting of:
Zutat - Form - Menge - Einheit
in english: Name of the ingredient - how is it, which kind/form - how much (qty) - which unit
so I related the tables via pk and fk, created the layout and bam: complete disaster.
after needing a couple of days to make the values appearing in the dropdown (learned about the value list), some fields in the portal do show the all entries of the ingredients, while the kind/form and unit fields do always show the first value of the table?
and although I locked the fields, the first entry is always shown and is getting overwritten by the choice I choose from the dropdown...
and nothing is dynamic, meaning that 7 ingredients will make 7 lines and it always starts with one empty line, etc.
I am not sure if my descriptions do make sense, therefore I am attaching my work, hoping someone could help me with how to use the portal for a convenient data entry.
thx in advance!

Is it possible to filter a portal based on another filtered portal content where a relationship exists.
My question stems from a scenario where I have a jobs table and a plant (being machinery) table. I am trying to figure out a way to filter a complete list of plant to only show those that are not allocated to a specific day on the job table.
I guess I am just seeing if it is at all possible or is there a better method to do it.
By DreadDamsel
Hi, I have a bit of a dilemma that I've tried a number of solutions to sort out, to no avail.
I have a portal that lists the participants in a class. In each row is a checkbox that can be used to indicate whether that participant has withdrawn from the class.
I've used a summary field to count the number of checked boxes and have a field that subtracts that number from the total of records in the portal - easy peasy.
Where it gets tricky is that, one of the fields relates to the number of children associated with a participant (a mum may have 3 kids in the class if it's one of the playgroups). Now I need to know how many kiddies there are in the class. I have a field that totals the number of children in total and that works fine, but...
... and here's my problem -
where a parent has withdrawn (and the box is checked), I need to subtract the number of children associated with that parent from the total number of children).
The checkbox is a value list with a single value, 1.
All the solutions I've tried so far are fine unless it pertains to portal rows - and I can't figure it out for the life of me.
Can anyone help me out?

I have the following problem. I'm working on a solution for the owner of several restaurants. Each restaurant has meetings once or twice a month. How would I structure the tables so that I could have a layout on which I select a restaurant and then inside a portal I get a list of all employees. On the portal for each row I want to have a button or checkbox to mark if an employee is present or not.
I already have the following tables:
Restaurants, Employees and Meetings
So far I have a relationship between the Restaurants and Employees table which I use to assign employees to a restaurant, and a relationship between the Meeting and Restaurant table, which allows me to show all employees that work at a selected restaurant using a portal on the meetings layout. How do I proceed to solve my problem? Do I create another table MeetingAttendees or something similar that I use to keep track of people attending a meeting? How would I create a relationship then to allow me to mark certain employees as present and absent?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for stepping by and welcome to my little corner of the web !
My name is Marcel, I live in Hoofddorp, Haarlemmermeer, a famous Dutch 'polder' that still was water about 150 years ago. I am a corporate travel consultant, highly interested in aviation in general and travel technology in particular. On a daily basis, I keep myself occupied with airfare solutions, quality control and revenue management in corporate travel.
Next to my family, I find passion in travel, aviation, scubadiving and photography, furthermore exploring nature above and marinelife below sealevel complete my freetime activities.
I've been busy with photography as a hobby for a few years now, currently I use a Nikon D5000 for my pictures above the surface, furthermore I have an Olympus Tough TG-4 camera at my disposal for my underwater images. My main subjects in photography are travel, aviation, scubadiving and landscapes. The complete albums can be reached via the menu in the right corner of this page or the pictures beloiw. I hope you enjoy looking at my pictures as much as I had fun in making them.
In my weblog I write about anything I think is worth writing about (or not....), you can find my real life adventures, opinions, stories and reviews there. It will be about travel, politics, (social)media, all day life, etc, etc, etc.....take a peak through the menu or click the link to my weblog here.
Feel free to contact me through the contact message below or follow me on Twitter !
All the best !
Nature and landscapes are always interesting. They bring fabulous subjects for great pictures. Furthermore, being outdoors hiking, walking and enjoying amazing scenery is a great way to spend some spare time.
As I'm living in Haarlemmermeer, which is a real Dutch "polder" by the way (Google some and you'll find out), my home is located in a heavily populated area of the Netherlands, near Amsterdam.
So, whenever I can, I take my camera and ride into the countryside, to be hiking, walking, biking and take pics along the way, thus combining a passionate hobby with the pleasure of being outdoors.
Find my photos in the gallery "Nature and Landscapes" by clicking on the nature scene picture.
Travel has always been a significant part of my life. Not that I have been on the road for years, regrettably, but I've always been interested in the subject.
After graduation, I started working as a travel agent and until now I've never thought about leaving the travelbusiness.
Whereas my focus is not selling travel anymore, my current role is more about creating smart solutions for corporate travel management, travel technology and online travel sales, specifically in the subject of air fares.
Some day, some how, some where, I will find the time and opportunity to combine my work with the pleasure of travelling the world. Until that time, you can find my galeries clicking the sfinx picture above.
I hope you enjoy my photos, if you have any comments, messages or notes to add, feel free to contact me.
In the aviation section of my website, you will find a number of galeries and albums that contain photographs on the subjects airplanes, aviation, aircraftspotting and all that is related. I'm a beginner on this subject, especially in the aircraftspotting I'm a newbie, so I will add more albums and galeries in due course. A click on the aircraft pic will bring you to my galeries.
Scubadiving is another passion of mine.
Years ago, I decided to get my PADI Open Water Certification. Enjoying the same planet but being in a different world is absolutely awesome !
Meanwhile, I have my own diving gear and am a certified rescue diver.
I'm currently working on my dive master certification. Final goal so far is Instructor Level, but until then, I hope to enjoy many dives throughout the world.
You will find my whereabouts regarding diving by clicking the marine life picture.

Had dinner at Grace tonight! The verdict - major disappointment resulting from overcooked food!
For appertizers, fellow chowhounder skylineR33, his wife and myself ordered the seared scallops, sweetbread and crispy duck. The sweetbread was a bit overcooked whilst the crispy duck was extremely dry. The two combined to form chunks of unappealing protein.
For mains, we had the grilled whole de-boned seabream and port steak with bone marrow. Once again, the monotonous and sauceless fish was dry and overcooked whilst the steak was kind of tasteless! Plate presentation was very artfully done, which was a shame, since it gave a false impression as to what the food might taste like!
For desserts, we were hoping to give the highly raved home made apple pie a try. Unfortunately, we were told its sold out, so we have to settle for a lemon tart, a butter tart and a cheese cake instead. The desserts fared OK but the lemon tart was a bit too sweet..
Because tomorrow is a public holiday, this might be the reason behind why the restaurant was packed which in turn resulted in the kitchen to be overstressed and under perform!
Mogette, which I tried a few days ago, had better tasting and better value food!

Fan Fic
CBM Index
Fan Fic
Venom Fancast
My fancast and some vague details of the plot.
Filed Under: "
Fan Fic
The Venom movie, firstly, should tie into the Amazing Spider-Man series, because of Peter's parents.
Plot Ideas
- The film should pick up where The Amazing Spider-Man 3 (or 4) leaves off, which had Peter wearing the symbiote and since it changed him. His friendship of MJ, Harry, and Eddie were broken due to the effects of the symbiote. he went back into Oscorp to destroy by putting it back in the cryogenic chamber. (I took elements from The Spectacular Spider-Man)
- Eddie tries to stop Spider-Man but he fails. It turns out the Symbiote isn't dead and it calls to Eddie, so he opens it and the Symbiote bonds with him.
- Venom begins to stalk Peter, becoming friends with those close to him
- Smythe and Kingpin watching both of them, hiring Venom to kill Spider-Man.
- At the end, when Kingpin and Smythe doublecross him, revealing that they only wanted the symbiote, Venom and Spider-Man have to put aside their differences and fight together.
- (In this, due to the symbiote, an explosion occurs on campus, causing the symbiote to separate from Eddie.)
- After credits: Eddie is sent to an asylum, walking past Dr. Connors' cell, walking into a cell which he shares with a certain redheaded inmate....Cletus Cassidy.
Generally, with everyone put in, this is a character study of Eddie Brock, right before Venom, and how he changes or stays the same while joined with the symbiote. Eddie worked at the Bugle, lived alone, trying to find the truth about his parents, with a lot of parallels between him and Peter Parker, especially since both are science whiz's. Eddie was friends with Peter until his aggressiveness, courtesy of the symbiote, got the better of him. The same happens with Brock.
Garret Hedlund - Eddie Brock/Venom
This choice has been used in the past but I used it because I think he's a perfect choice for Eddie in the new direction this series is heading. I think Eddie Brock should be near the same age as Peter which I think Garret would be perfect for. The main reason I chose him is because he looks like more of a good guy than a bad guy to me which Eddie is, he's just tortured. Not to forget, he looks like a combo of Ultimate Eddie and 616 Eddie in my opinion.
Kevin Durand - Wilson Fisk/Kingpin
I'd prefer seeing a different version of Kingpin. A version where he's buffer and taller rather than just being overweight. I think Kevin Durand would be buff and menacing. [special thanks to UniBeam for this one].
Alexander Skarsgard - Alistair Smythe
I don't know what got me into liking him as Smythe, but maybe because his portrayal in the game immediately reminded me of Skarsgard. He'd be a great fit, he has that quiet dangerous type down.
Sarah Michelle Gellar - Silver Sable
For some reason, I want to see Silver Sable in a Spider-Man film. She's a cool character that I'd love to see on the big screen. She needs a Buffy type of feel, and she has the chops for it.
Colin Farrell - Edward Brock Sr.
I wanted someone who looked similar to Hedlund, and I wanted someone who could bring intensity into the character. He should be shown in a flashback sequence.
Simon Baker - Cletus Cassidy
He brought a lot of life to the Mentalist; it would be an interesting twist to see HIM as the psychopath.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 11/126,114, filed May 10, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,350,716.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to document verification, and in particular, to a mechanism for ensuring authenticity of handwritten and printed documents.
2. Description of Related Art
In the current art, there are various mechanisms for verifying that a document was provided from the original party. For example, certificates of authenticity or holograms are used offer proof that a document is authentic. These certificates or holograms are typically attached to the document, an official stamp, or special paper used for printing. Written signatures are also used to provide another degree of authenticity. Written signatures are typically taken at face value, as handwriting is considered hard to forge.
However, as printing technology improve at a considerable rate, mechanisms for proving that a document is authentic have become increasingly important in raising the bar for forgers. Written documents also pose a problem, since forgers can imitate the handwriting and ink color to produce "official" looking documents. In view of the need for raise the bar to make forgery more difficult, this invention focuses on another mechanism that may be used to replace or augment some of these current authentication practices.
Thus, it would be advantageous to have an improved mechanism for ensuring the authenticity of written and printed documents.
The present invention provides a mechanism for ensuring the authenticity of written and printed documents. With the mechanism of the present invention, electronic ink is deposited onto a document, wherein the electronic ink deposited comprises at least one mark visible to a user. Current is applied to the electronic ink while the electronic ink is wet. The current is applied to the electronic ink in order to imprint a pattern in the ink, wherein the pattern is invisible to the user. The electronic ink deposited on the document is then allowed to dry. The pattern in the electronic ink may then be examined to verify the authenticity of the document.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further objectives and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
The present invention provides a mechanism for ensuring the authenticity of printed and handwritten documents. With the present invention, patterns may be embedded into electronic ink, which is a fluid material currently for use in electronic displays. Electronic ink contains magnetically charged pigments in the fluid that can be altered by applying current to the "ink". Traditionally, the ink is traditionally sandwiched between two glass substrates to keep it in a liquid state, and a positive or negative charge is applied to the ink to orient black and white pigments in a manner as to create the desired text or images on a surface.
The mechanism of the present invention improves upon existing electronic ink uses by using current to embed a pattern within the electronic ink. For example, when a document is marked (e.g., signed or printed) with electronic ink, that mark is visible to the naked eye. The present invention allows for creating a pattern within the visible electronic ink, wherein the pattern is invisible to the user. Thus, although the signature or print is visible to a user in a normal manner, the pattern itself is viewable to the user only with the aid of a magnification device.
The pattern within the ink may be embedded, for example, by using the current to generate magnetic charge fields to force some of the white pigments to the top surface of the ink. For instance, while particular pigment particles (e.g., a set of black pigments which together as a group are visible to the naked eye) are brought to the top to create a visible mark on the document, the colored pigments used for the pattern (e.g., a number of white pigments only visible under magnification) are pushed to the top surface only to form the desired pattern in the visible black pigment particles. Likely choices for the visible pigment color and pattern pigment color may be based on high contrast, i.e., black and white, blue and white, etc.
The pattern may be imprinted at a very high resolution to make the pattern invisible to the naked eye. A user may view the pattern with the assistance of a magnification device, such as a magnifying glass, microscope, or magnetic scanner. The pattern imprinted may be any pattern used to identify the signer or creator of the document, such as the document issuer's logo, or the person's name and date, for example. Once the pattern is imprinted within the ink, the document may be proven authentic by verifying the pattern under magnification.
With the present invention, electronic ink may be placed within a writing utensil, such as, for example, a pen or within an ink cartridge, or a combination of both. The writing utensil may be used to provide a handwritten signature to a document. The word "signature" as used herein shall mean any handwriting which is to be verified and can include a name, a group of code letters, or words, or symbols. The ink cartridge may be used in a printing device to provide a printed document.
In one embodiment of the present invention, when signing or issuing a document to be later verified, the signer is given the writing utensil containing the ink. At this point, the signer may sign the document in a normal manner either over a normal surface, or alternatively over a special surface capable of creating the current necessary to affect the ink. If the signer signs the document over a normal surface, the signed document is then placed over the special surface capable of creating the current necessary to affect the ink. When the document is adjacent to the special surface, the surface supplies a current to imprint a pattern within the ink. The document may then be left to dry, like a normal signed document, or the document may be cured with UV light. Once dry, one may verify the authenticity of the document by examining the pattern in the ink under magnification manually, or a magnetic scanner may be used to verify the imprinted pattern.
Similarly, in an alternative embodiment, a printer containing an ink cartridge filled with electronic ink may be used to deposit the ink onto the document. However, it should be noted that any mechanism may be used by the present invention to deposit the electronic ink onto a document.
With reference now to the figures and in particular with reference to
Pattern imprinting surface 104 may be connected to computer 102 via wire links, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables. In the depicted example, pattern imprinting surface 104 is a surface that is capable of generating a current. When a document containing electronic ink is placed in the vicinity of the current, the current affects electronic ink by imprinting a pattern within the ink. Electronic ink will be described in more detail in
Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the hardware depicted in
Turning now to
Although the foregoing description exemplifies one method of placing electronic ink onto a document, those skilled in the art after having the benefit of this disclosure, will realize that this is but one example of a way to apply electronic ink to a document, and this should be considered as exemplary and not limiting. For example, instead of using a writing utensil to apply electronic ink to the document, an ink cartridge may be used. In another example, instead of having the document placed over the special surface before the signature is written, the signature may be written first and then the special surface may be moved over or under the document to imprint a pattern in the ink. These are all considered to be within the spirit and scope of this invention.
Turning now to
Although the present invention is described with regards to "electronic ink", it should be noted that the term "electronic ink" in this invention comprises not only currently available inks such as that developed by Eink Corporation, but the present invention may be implemented using any technology that includes a fast drying, moderately viscous, clear fluid with flecks of colored magnetic material. For example, when a thin amount of the fluid is applied to the paper, the magnetic imprint is put in place before the fluid dries. Using a fast drying fluid ensures that the material will quickly be stuck in place with the pattern. The consistency of the fluid could be chosen to minimize imprinting errors. In addition, the properties of the fluid will dictate how fast the pattern must be imprinted to lock the pattern in the ink before the ink dries.
The process begins with the electronic ink being deposited onto the document (step 402). The ink may be deposited on the document in various ways, such as using a pen filled with electronic ink and to mark the document or using a printer to print the document, wherein an ink cartridge deposits the ink onto the document. The ink deposition may comprise, for example, a signature, text, or images on the document.
In one illustrative embodiment, the ink deposition is performed over a special surface capable of supplying current to the document. For example, if an electronic ink pen was used to sign the document, the document may be deposited with the ink while the document is positioned over the special surface. In an optional step, if the document has been deposited with ink prior to placing the document on the special surface, the special surface may then be placed over or under the document (step 404).
Next, while the document is adjacent to the special surface, and before the ink on the document has had time to dry, the special surface supplies a current to the document to imprint a pattern in the electronic ink (step 406). The current used is the electric current necessary to cause the pigments in the ink to generate a pattern.
The document is then allowed to dry (step 408). At this point, the authenticity of the document may then be verified by examining the pattern in the ink (step 410). Since the imprinted pattern may be of extremely high resolution, the document may be authenticated under magnification or magnetic scanning.
Thus, the present invention provides a mechanism for determining whether a document is valid or is a forgery. The mechanism of the present invention ensures the authenticity of printed and handwritten documents by applying current to electronic ink to cause patterns to be embedded into the ink. These patterns may then be used to verify that a document was provided by the original party.
It is important to note that while the present invention has been described in the context of a fully functioning data processing system, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the processes of the present invention are capable of being distributed in the form of a computer readable medium of instructions and a variety of forms and that the present invention applies equally regardless of the particular type of signal bearing media actually used to carry out the distribution. Examples of computer readable media include recordable-type media, such as a floppy disk, a hard disk drive, a RAM, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and transmission-type media, such as digital and analog communications links, wired or wireless communications links using transmission forms, such as, for example, radio frequency and light wave transmissions. The computer readable media may take the form of coded formats that are decoded for actual use in a particular data processing system.
The description of the present invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description, and is not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the invention in the form disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention, the practical application, and to enable others of ordinary skill in the art to understand the invention for various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.

I had a lot of fun with this title card, as I always do. I started with a plain 4×6 card, and hand lettered in the title "this is a story about". Even though I measured it out, the spacing of the words somehow got a little wonky, so the last two lines are closer together than the others. This type of thing really bugs me, but it would bug me even more to have erased and redrawn every word, so I just left it. Always working on embracing the imperfect! I then finished up by using a couple square scraps of paper to add in my week number and dates, then embellished with some enamel dots.
For the second 4×6 slot, I decided to include a week in review card. Since this card ran Sunday through Saturday, and I do my weeks Monday through Sunday, I had to get a little creative. I wrote in the dates next to each day, and just slipped Sunday the 26th in at the top of the card, even though it actually happened at the end of my week. Not ideal, but you work with what you got. I then added some flair to the top using a strip of white (looks clear to me too…) washi tape and a couple buttons from my stash.
For each picture in my 2×2 slots, I simply cut out a card from white cardstock, and back the photo with different colored polka-dot washi tapes going different directions across the card. This way all my photos coordinated, but weren't too matchy. I alternated top and bottom as I went across my page, so my pictures make sort of a zig-zag pattern.
I filled in all the empty slots with journaling and a few decorative cards. For journaling cards that related to a specific photo, instead of the day in general, I simply indicated that with an arrow pointing to the picture.
I love catching pictures of Melissa doing something absolutely sweet (which she does often) so of course I snapped a pic when she went out to clear off our cars. Capturing and recording these small acts of love really help me to appreciate how lucky I am.
We also enjoyed some yummy treats on our snow day. For this card, I backed my two pictures with white card stock to frame them. This also helped to unify two pictures that otherwise don't really go together. I added some thickers, and hand labeled each of our indulgences. Still working on my cursive, so I've been trying to include it at much as I can, practice makes perfect!
This next card is another favorite of mine. As it was snowing, I took a picture of the same spot each hour. I love seeing the progression of the ground being covered. I backed each picture with the same square scraps of paper I used on my title card, then I added a time stamp label below. Add in some journaling on a shipping tag and some enamel dots and boom, done.
That completes the first page of my week 4 spread. The next two pages are a full two page layout, which I'll show you at the end of this post. But for now, I'm still going to take it one page at a time. Here is the left hand side.
Since these pages are a new full two page layout, I couldn't resist adding in another title card. Again, this is probably my favorite card of this page. I used some simple alphas to add my week number. I then added a printable label and a chipboard arrow to include my dates for the week. And what card is complete without some enamel dots thrown in for good measure?
I honestly was at kind of a loss for what to include in this next pocket. I had no idea, so I just threw in a monthly calendar card, used some washi tape to mark the week and called it good. I still feel like it needs more, but honestly I'm stumped. It may just have to stay like this, even if it is a little plain.
Most of the tiny 2×2 slots on this page ended up being filler or journaling cards, since I only had two pictures I needed to fit in here. It was pretty easy getting something on each card though, since they're so tiny.
Mini things make me happy, so I had to include the miniature Chinese takeout container that was included in our order. Unfortunately, the picture I snapped didn't really do a good job of showing the scale, so I had to use some journaling and captions to illustrate why there is a random picture of two takeout containers. It really was the cutest little container.
As well as an early dismissal from work on Tuesday, we got an entire snow day on Wednesday. I used this time to do some serious purging and decluttering. One of the major space-sucks in my apartment at the time was the entire shelf full of all my notebooks of all my classnotes from every. single. college class I had taken. This was like… in the ballpark of 50 notebooks, just sitting there, untouched. I had the idea in my head that I would like to have these notebooks to look back on in the future. But who am I kidding, who wants to relive the thrill of a 2 hour lecture, or 50 page chapter notes? So I threw all those suckers away! It was a little hard for the hoarder in me at first, but once I started it was addicting.
There were also stacks and stack of index cards that I had taped magazine clippings onto back in high school. I thought this would save space, as opposed to saving the entire magazine. Which in theory it did, but I could have saved myself the time and effort and just thrown it all away, because not once in the 7 years since I created these little cards did I ever take them out. So in the trash they went.
Ok, back on track Merrit. The next card recorded a particularly cold winter we were having. I believe this was during some sort of extreme cold front or something or other. All I know is, it was freaking cold.
Now onto the next page spread. I really enjoyed making this page, and am so smitten with how it turned out. I love how clean and white the whole thing is, with pops of pastel pinks and greens.
I ended up sort of combining the top two 4×6 slots into one mini layout. Each card shows one of the two things I did that day, one good and one bad. So I sort of contrasted them using coordinating elements. The first one records the early morning I had, since I had to wake up for work training. I really, really enjoy my sleep, so having to wake up at 8am on a Saturday really wasn't my idea of a good time.
To really unite the two cards, I cut a label in half to stick onto each card. This really gives the card the appearance of being one connected unit. It was my first attempt at having an element straddle two cards, and I really like how it turned out.
The second card is all about the date night we enjoyed that evening. We went out to an amazing Afghan restaurant we both love, and really just treated ourselves to a night out.
And what would a trip to a fancy restaraunt be without pictures of our food? The lighting was really dim, so it was hard to get a great picture, but its the memory that truly counts. I again backed these pictures with a small frame, and added a label with a made-up handle to show the name of the restaurant.
I honestly had nothing to include in this slot, so I just added a fun quote card. I embellished very simply with some enamel dots and a chipboard sticker. I'm still working on getting comfortable with filling up cards without any real picture or journaling dedicated to the slot. I have a hard time when I have no direction or purpose for what goes on these cards. I'm hoping that with more experience, I'll get more comfortable with these 'useless' slots.
This week I was also lucky enough to finally get an IKEA Alex!! I had wanted one literally for years, and I finally allowed myself to buy one. Unfortunately, when we got it home and started setting it up, we realized it was missing a piece. Literally, the last screw I needed to finish assembling it. So I had to wait to get it all put together until we could get back to IKEA to pickup the missing piece. Boo.
Next I included an adorable picture of my two girls snuggling on the couch. I believe (as many Project Lifers do) that it is just as important to include the simple, everyday occurences, as it is to record the huge, special events. Melissa and Dakota are most often playing when they're together, so I loved capturing them calm and cuddly on the couch. I was also thrilled to find out my wood veneer flag fit perfectly into the printed flag on the card so there was a slight border. Meant to be!
The final card holds a QR code to a video of Dakota playing with her favorite toy, Raccoon. She has had this toy forever, and just loves the thing. It is all sorts of ragged and matted by now, but we just don't have the heart to get rid of it. Raccoon is part of the family now. Dakota also likes to get a little rough with her toys, so I thought the 'fierce' hashtag was pretty appropriate… #Napoleancomplex would probably have worked just as well too, #smalldogproblems…ok I'm done.
And now I promised you a full shot of the second two pages of my week 4 layouts. Here they are all laid out together.

text: XpressRC Issues Was very happy with my RC up until yesterday when I attempted to connect it to a home dock. The home dock itself was easy enough to hook up and the RC powered up normally but no audio. So I tried it in the boombox. Same issue. It will power up, but no audio. It will only play in the car. I did turn off the "vehicle mode" menu option at one point before bringing the RC inside but "no go". This has me scratchin my head. (Naaa, it was dandruff !) Any help here would be great & thanks for your time.

When Billie Holiday stepped into Columbia's studios in November 1933, it marked the beginning of what is arguably the most remarkable and influential career in 20th-century popular music. Her voice weathered countless shifts in public taste, and new reincarnations of her continue to arrive, most recently in the form of singers like Amy Winehouse and Adele. Most of the writing on Holiday has focused on the tragic details of her life - her prostitution at the age of 14, her heroin addiction and alcoholism, her series of abusive relationships - or tried to correct the many fabrications of her autobiography. But now, Billie Holiday stays close to the music, to her performance style, and to the self she created and put into print, on record and on stage.
Drawing on a vast amount of new material that has surfaced in the last decade, critically acclaimed jazz writer John Szwed considers how her life inflected her art, her influences, her uncanny voice and rhythmic genius, a number of her signature songs, and her legacy.

Her life wasn't just about addiction.
It provided me with a respectful portrait of Billie Holiday as a musician, a hard-worker, and a first rate entertainer.
Strange Fruit
Captured Billie Holiday's spirit and speech well.

Absorbing Story, Great Information
Unlike many American narrators of music histories and biographies, her voice complements the tone and rhythm of the story. Interesting, grown-up, and pleasant voice. HOWEVER, like every music history book I've listened to so far, this one contains far too many absurd, disruptive mispronunciations of well-known names. Passing on such egregious errors is a tiresome and very familiar MALpractice of the audiobook recording industry, and listeners need to speak up and demand better products. Mispronunciations, hilarious as they might be, not only propel the listener straight out of the story but damage the narrative trust between the narrator and the listener.WHY don't audiobooks have competent editors?
I found all of the story extremely interesting and illuminating.

Labor Day in the United States is a holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is a celebration of the American labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.
Infographic courtesy of Visual.ly Date Represents 2013
Labor Day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, who organized the first parade in New York City. After the Haymarket Massacre, which occurred in Chicago on May 4, 1886, U.S. President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the affair. Thus, in 1887, it was established as an official holiday in September to support the Labor Day that the Knights favored. Content Via Via Wikipedia

Biotechnology uses the DNA of living organisms to bioengineer new products artificially. Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the related fields of biomedicine, pharmacology, and genetic engineering. Modern biotech methods are used to manufacture existing medicines more easily, in order to treat human diseases. Further, biotechnology has enabled emerging techniques like gene therapy. Stem cell research offers new hope in the areas of cancer treatment as well as life extension. The regulation of genetic engineering aims to assess and manage the risks of developing genetically modified organisms (GMO), including commercial food crops and fish.
At the smallest scale, mechanical engineering becomes nanotechnology, one goal of which is to build molecules and materials via microsynthesis. Current areas of mechanical engineering research in biotech and nanotechnology include nanofilters, nanofilms, and nanostructures such as microtubules. Self-assembly of these structures may lead to new breakthroughs in artificial tissue generation. Micron-scale mechanical components such as springs, gears, and heat-transfer devices are fabricated from a variety of substrate materials such as silicon, glass and polymers like SU8. Biomechanics applies traditional engineering methodology to the analysis of biological systems. By copying the efficiency of nature, the study of biomechanics aids in creating prosthetic limbs and artificial organs for medical application. Beyond major requirements within the biotechnology department, you may consider St Josephs College chemistry program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Dear Ivor
Do you need a hand with the paper planes? Apparently those nice people at BAA have agreed to accept an independent body monitoring the volume of flights coming into Heathrow if it gets the go-ahead for a third runway. Although in the past they did agree that if they got a fifth terminal they wouldn't ask for an additional runway. An oversight I'm sure and probably the planned sixth terminal is only a little shed serving the odd tea and coffee!
Now you have become a self-appointed honorary member of NOTRAG thought you might need a bit of background info. It is a fact that more people want to fly, according to the office of National Statistics numbers of passengers in UK airports has risen from 4 million in 1954 to 228 million in 2005 and is expected to reach 500 million in 2030. Was I must admit a little boggled by those numbers! It is also a fact that additional flights will have a detrimental affect on the global environment, even the government recognises this. So which argument wins the economy or the environment?
In the past we have adopted a spend now pay later attitude, encouraged by easy access to credit and a belief in the strength of our economy. Before you say it, I am not going to be pious about this, I too have succumbed to a bit of plastic swiping in my time. However the recent downturn has exposed the fragility of the global financial system. There were warning voices but these were ignored. With hind sight we can look back and heap blame on that bank, this government or personal greed. However we can learn from the mistakes and build a more sustainable system for the future.
The environment on the other hand does not provide second chances. The warning voices are there; Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace to name but a few. Are we going to adopt a fly now pay later attitude? If we default on the environment the foreclosure could be catastrophic.
Whilst in Googleland was wondering if politicians suffer from the paradox of drift, the more they look for answers the further away they get from the truth!
We must stay focussed, see you later.

With air coolers, manufacturers are hitting that wall, but recently some companies have devised a new means of heat sink technology.

Teddy has been in New York's fast paced, high stakes, real estate market for more than four years. Much of his focus and expertise has come in the investment-furnished sector of the market. His time spent as CEO with a Manhattan Property Management firm taught him a great deal about the managing of different types of properties around the city. As that company's CEO, Teddy personally managed a portfolio of apartments in Manhattan in excess of 21 million dollars. Today he co-manages a portfolio of investor owned apartments worth nearly 48 million dollars in Manhattan.
As a resident of City Island, Teddy is quickly becoming the "go-to" real estate professional on the Island. An active member of the "City Island Chamber of Commerce" and a member of the "City Island Civic Association", he donates a great deal of his free time speaking with local business owners as well as residents on ways the island can be enriched. Teddy has made it his mission to help improve the island's real estate market which will in turn raise property values on the island for residents. Being involved with the people of the community is the only way to fully ensure you have a firm understanding as to which way the real estate market is trending. By living and working in the community in which he serves, he develops close relationships with its residents who eventually become his clients and his friends.
Whether you're looking to buy, sell, rent or you're looking to invest in real estate, it's crucial you pick someone with the knowledge and expertise to seamlessly guide you through the transaction to ensure your investment will yield the return that you expect. When speaking with clients, trust is the biggest issue for an individual choosing to work with one broker versus another. Real estate for many individuals is a very personal aspect of life, so finding a broker they can trust and relate to is of the upmost importance. Teddy looks to develop a personal and professional relationship with all his clients not simply for the current transaction, but for years to come.
"Real Estate is my business and I would like to turn your business into my business!!"

He'll guard her body all night long.
Former Marine Jude Wilde's motto has always been "burn bridges and never look back," so nobody is more surprised when Wilde Security is hired to protect assistant district attorney Libby Pruitt, the woman he loved and left. Although she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with Jude, they're forced to fake a relationship for her safety. He can't ignore the heat still simmering between them, and when her stalker's threats escalate to attempted murder, he's left with no choice but to whisk her away to a friend's safe house in Key West, FL.
Cooped up in paradise together, Jude begins to chip away at Libby's resolve to hate him. But even as she gives in to his proximity and her body's demands for his, she refuses to fall for his charms again. Maybe a torrid affair in the sun is exactly what she needs to get him out of her system. But when her stalker tracks them down, can they escape the steamy Key West night without anyone getting hurt?

Good grief..
I'm at 35% and I'm not going to finish this book. Jude in sooo immature. Every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a 15 year old, ( I started thinking that when the horse-play started in his office with his twin brothers and it's only got worse.) Besides he's full of tattoos and has an earring? His hair is short on the sides and spiky on top? And he's only been out of the military for a month? I can't see a military man taking on that persona so soon after getting out. Not my idea of the way a hero should look, just like a 15 year old you'd expect to see out on the streets. That's one of the reasons I'm not that crazy about some contemporary authors, they write about men based on today's teenagers and don't make them hero-material. I want a HERO when I read, and if I can't have him then I'm not reading the book.
As to the narrator: As alway Mr. Dove did a wonderful job but even his narration couldn't help this immature writing.

Ron Capps: Scores fifth Funny Car win of the season to move back into tie for points lead with Ashley Force Hood.
CHECKERED: Dave Villwock won Unlimited Hydroplane racing's Gold Cup for the seventh time at Detroit on Sunday.
RED: Jimmie Johnson/Kyle Busch: They've been roughing each other up regularly over the last month. Is it time for NASCAR to meet with the Sprint Cup's two top attractions?
Although they come from different racing backgrounds, the paths of Eric Gunderson and Chase Catania crossed briefly last year.
And while they are presently following different tracks, the San Diego County teenagers are two of the area's top young drivers.
Gunderson, 15, is racing on the U.S. Auto Club's regional Ford Focus Midget series this season. Catania, 18, is preparing to travel to Charlotte, N.C., to compete in the final races of the Summer Shootout Legend Car Series.
Both Gunderson and Catania have been racing three years and neither has a clear vision of what the racing future holds. But both have drawn interest from some of racing's top names.
Midget and Sprint car legend Wally Pankratz has helped Gunderson make his transition from karting to hybrid open-wheel pavement and dirt cars.
And Catania will be living with David Ragan in North Carolina and hanging around the Roush Fenway Racing stable.
"It's a great opportunity," Catania said. "Like anyone, hopefully, I'll go as far as I can go."
"My ultimate goal is to be a professional driver," Gunderson said. "But I'm very open-minded. You can only take it a year at a time. This season has made it more difficult to project what might happen."
Gunderson, who will be a sophomore at La Jolla High, is the son of an engineer and a pilot; until recently he was more involved in restoring airplanes than preparing midgets for dirt track racing.
Catania, a senior at Grossmont High, is the son of former Cajon Speedway street stock and modified driver Doug Catania.
"I watched my dad race for 10 years," Chase Catania said. "I think I picked up some things from him and he knows what to do and what not to do."
Gunderson parallels his background to what makes Penske Racing successful – attention to detail.
"We're not a racing family; we don't have an extensive background in racing," Gunderson said. "But our team is big on preparation and attention to the smallest thing. That's my dad's (Charles) strength.
"And that approach has helped us with the learning curve."
Gunderson started karting at age 11, won an International Karting Federation race and a Region 7 championship and moved on to other forms of racing in 2007.
"We reached a point in karting where I had learned a lot and wanted to know about other forms of racing," said Gunderson, who, despite his youth, already handles much of his own marketing and sponsorship commitments. "So we were looking for the next step."
Gunderson even dabbled in Legend Cars, where he raced Catania at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale in 2008. "He's fast," said Catania of Gunderson.
Real fast. Gunderson won 10 races during the season and finished second in the final Legend standings and was named the track's rookie of the year.
It was during the 2007 season that Gunderson attended Pankratz's driving school. The teacher took a liking to the student.
"I'd tag along and he helped me," said Gunderson, whose parents own his pavement Focus Midget while Pankratz owns his dirt Focus Midget. Both cars are prepared by Tres and Stewart Van Dyne in Huntington Beach.
Gunderson has run 11 races this year starting with a win in the season-opening pavement race at the Bullring in Las Vegas. He followed that with a second in his dirt opener at Bakersfield. Recently he ran fifth at Ventura and third at Perris.
And there lies part of the problem. The closest of the nine tracks on which Gunderson races is Perris. He has run as far away as Arizona, Nevada and Northern California.
Like Gunderson, Catania has run at five tracks this season along the Interstate 10 and I-15 corridors from Lake Havasu, Ariz., and Las Vegas to Irwindale and Perris. He has scored wins at three tracks and ranks seventh in the national Legend points standings, although he has had far fewer race opportunities than the drivers down south.
"Going to North Carolina will give me a chance to race at different tracks only miles apart," Catania said. "It's a huge opportunity."
Catania started racing at age 15 with Santee's Darren Amidon, who won a total of three Legend season championships at Irwindale and Orange Show speedways before cutting back on his schedule.

This idea comes from our friend Nicola Lott with Notch Hill Learning. Nicola is an early learning specialist who is all about playing with your kids. We love it!
When I saw this project on her blog I knew it was one I wanted to try – it incorporates food and letters… perfect for Henry. It was simple enough for an early morning activity, didn't require anything special, and was something Henry could do mostly on his own. Essentially, we spelt "Henry" with food (and lots and lots and lots and lots of glue!). PERFECT!
We checked out the pantry and found some foods we wanted to explore. We chose rice, dried beans, quinoa, ground flax and dried chickpeas. Then we traced the letters of his name with glue and he got to dump and shake the food around to cover the glue. We worked together with the larger food items (like beans), since they needed to be placed more than just shaken. Then we covered the food again with lots and lots and lots of glue. Serious… Henry would love to just make a huge pile of glue on some paper and call it done. Ah… "art" is in the eye of the beholder :). We let it dry for a few hours, gave it an extra shake outside and admired our work.
A word to the wise… if you kid's like Henry then be ready to use half a bottle of white glue and have to clean the floor afterwards… but it's all in the name of learning :).
We have it hung on the wall in the kitchen right now and I notice he likes to trace his fingers along the letters when we walks past. Perfect for recognizing the letters in his name, and using food in another fun way.
Thanks Nicola 🙂
Cheers, Shelley

5 Vegan Chefs Whose Food I Love
Just because Im a restaurant owner and cookbook author doesnt mean I dont idolize and geek out over other chefs.
My entire life revolves around food. I dream about it, I wake up thinking about it, and I cook and eat all day. I guess that makes sense because I'm a vegan chef, cookbook author, and restaurateur, so my life's purpose is dreaming up recipes. Oddly enough, some of my best ideas come to me while I'm eating, which gives me a good reason to eat all day. But my absolute favorite thing to do is relax, put my "work brain" to rest, and enjoy delicious food cooked by other vegan chefs. No analyzing or scrutinizing what I'm eating—just soaking up the deliciousness as purely as a normal customer would. With this in mind, here are five vegan chefs whose work I love—and to whom I turn to when I'm in the mood for someone else's cooking.
1. Matthew Kenney
Matthew Kenney is a pioneer in vegan cuisine thanks to his restaurants Double Zero and Plant Food + Wine (to name a few). Long before I was a chef, Kenney was in the kitchen implementing his unique vegan perspective. He plates like an artist through his use of color and edible flowers, and he revolutionized raw cuisine, taking it from crunchy to glam. Kenney and I recently collaborated on a vegan dinner for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, and Kenney's personality and spirit shined every bit as bright as his food.
My favorite Matthew Kenney dish: Farro "sausage" at Double Zero
2. Adam Sobel
The Cinnamon Snail is a food truck and fast-casual restaurant that could be created only by someone who is part mad scientist and part vegan chef. And that's Adam Sobel! Always pushing the boundaries with bold flavor combinations and unlikely ingredient pairings (think Chinese five spice roasted Brussels sprouts, and maple hickory barbecue and macaroni and cheese), Sobel wows New York City with his delicious recipes that are anything but boring. Standouts include his Thanksgiving Sandoo—which is essentially an entire Thanksgiving dinner packed in a baguette—and his Beastmode Burger Deluxe, which pretty much explains itself. Fun fact—my boyfriend Ben impressed me on our first date by telling me he was a regular at Cinnamon Snail. #swoon!
My favorite Adam Sobel dish: Korean BBQ Seitan at Cinnamon Snail
3. Isa Chandra Moskowitz
Not only is Isa Chandra Moskowitz a best-selling vegan cookbook author, but she also runs two amazing restaurants (if anyone can prove that building a vegan culinary empire is possible, it's her). From New England Glam Chowder to popcorn cauliflower, Moskowitz's recipes are reminiscent of hearty, meaty classics that will leave even the meatiest meat eater feeling satisfied. Her restaurant Modern Love Brooklyn has magic in the air not only because of her knockout dishes but also because the #girlboss herself runs the kitchen, and you can taste her immense passion for her craft in every part of the experience. I love that Moskowitz runs her social media with a refreshingly uncensored and honest perspective of what it's truly like to run her world. I actually just met her for the first time when her Brooklyn restaurant opened a few months ago, but somehow I felt like I had known her for years!
My favorite Isa Chandra Moskowitz dish: Mac & Shews at Modern Love Brooklyn
4. Roberto Martin
While chefs might hold a reputation for being uptight and rigid, Roberto Martin breaks down that stereotype by being the most hilarious, fun-loving, effervescent vegan chef in all the land. It's no shock that his esteemed background includes being Ellen DeGeneres' personal chef! His cuisine appeals to a wide audience because flavor leads the way—chilis and peppers and fresh herbs really make his recipes pop. Furthermore, I love his cookbooks Vegan Cooking for Carnivores and Roberto's New Vegan Cooking because everything is so simple and delicious. Dishes such as Tofu Crabcakes and Basic Cheesecake are some of my favorites, but you can always add your own twist on them if desired. This really helps cooks build a culinary foundation that is solid.
My favorite Roberto Martin dish: Classic Spanish Rice (it's based on his mom's family recipe, so you can taste the love!)
5. Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby
I have a long-distance love affair with Vedge in Philly. My mom and I once drove to Philadelphia from New York City just for dinner, and then drove back home. Our round-trip journey was more than four hours, and we did not regret even a minute of the trek. Vedge's creativity with vegetables is so unprecedented that people from all over the world flock to the City of Brotherly Love to experience it. These two geniuses turn mushrooms, potatoes, and cauliflower into delicacies. It's their attention to texture that sets their cuisine apart. I've heard that meat eaters say their vegetable dishes actually taste like meat! As a long-time vegan, this is harder for me to pick up on, but I suspect it's the way they crisp, char, and sear their veggies that make them so multi-dimensional to the palate. New Yorkers, who wants to carpool?
My favorite Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby dish: Seared Maitake Mushroom

He said at the end of the podcast that he would love to come back for another podcast and speak about the Nine Old Men, but I don't think he ever got the chance. I was disappointed because I wanted to hear what he knew about them, but now I'll still get the chance! Daniel Caylor Read Walt's People, it's all there. There's a bunch of Andreas Deja interviews in there as well. :) Gene I hope his first entry is an interview with Glen Keane! Courtey !!! Went there, bookmarked it! Thank you so much for heads-up, Jerry! Frank Panucci Cool. Into the RSS feeds it goes. Pieter This guy may even talk about how he almost tripped over a loose tile in the floor of the Disney Studios, I'd still be interested. Mike Caracappa The Brewmasters should add this blog to the "Sites We Like" section. I'll definitely be checking this out on a regular basis!
