Do You Really Need a Social Media Command Center?
by Susan Etlinger
In June 2010, Gatorade unveiled its "Mission Control Center," and in December of that year Dell announced its "Social Media Command Center." Organizations such as NASCAR, The Oregon Ducks and others have since discussed how they organize social data in a command center model. In 2013, Salesforce and Brandwatch announced command center products. But are these command centers useful, or do they create yet another shiny object—worse, a cost center—within the business?
How the Rise of Social Media is Revitalizing the Digital Revolution
by Brian Solis and Jaimy Szymanski
Social media has led to a revolution in business marketing, communication, and service, but social media in of itself isn't a means to an end. Instead, it is a powerful catalyst for business transformation. Successful companies are exploring how new technologies can reach and engage customers at every stage of the customer lifecycle. Marketing, service, sales, web, email, and more must now work together to drive desired experiences, optimize click paths, cultivate meaningful relationships, and drive business outcomes. To do so takes nothing less than an infrastructure inspired by new vision and supported by updated or entirely new systems, processes, and teams. To compete for the digital future, companies require complete business transformation.
A More Valuable Customer Relationship: Leveraging Social for Improved Cross-Channel Engagement
by Andrew Jones
Brands face increased competition for customer attention every day. The customer journey has become incredibly fractured, moving across various channels and devices while getting bombarded with more messages than ever. It has never been more complex—yet also so necessary—for brands to target and personalize customer messaging. Social media represents an opportunity to better understand individual consumers and then tailor communication with them across various channels, including email, advertising, website and others.

Using Social To Increase Employee Engagement and Advocacy
by Charlene Li and Jon Cifuentes
There is a fundamental disconnect between wanting engaged and active employees – and the concern that they may be too engaged and active in the wrong direction. The concept that every Employee is a Marketer thrills some companies – and absolutely terrifies most. This evolving view of employee engagement boils down to the evolving relationship between the employer and employee – all aspects of work are changing in the face of this new dynamic. Social becomes not the end goal but the forcing function, providing a new context for the entire employee engagement space. This report will answer: Does increased employee engagement via social channels lead to better customer engagement/advocacy and thus increased profits How can companies craft a strategy that explicitly leads from employee engagement through to employee advocacy – and measure the impact? What tools and technologies are available to support these efforts, both internally for employee engagement and externally for customer engagement/employee advocacy?
Managing the Execution of Social Business Strategy Through Governance
by Ed Terpening and Charlene Li
As a new medium, organizations struggle with managing social, especially given the fact that it spans multiple paid/owned/earned media and internal silos. This stress intensifies as organizations mature from Engagement to Strategic social business maturity levels. The crux of the struggle is ownership and empowerment at scale, expressed as these pain points: which decisions need to be governed, and by whom? How is conflict resolved among spokes/silos? What principles guide decision-making? Who owns social business, and how is that adopted and extended by spokes/silos? This best practices report will define social business governance, and how it relates to existing digital governance systems; the scope and boundaries of governance; and what good governance looks like.

Wu Block, which consists of members of Wu-Tang Clan and D-Block, released the cover art for its upcoming project, Wu Block 2, according to several sources, including DDotOmen.
The group also revealed the tracklisting for the project, which is set to include Ghostface Killah, Lox and Cappadonna, among others, according to reports.
Wu Block released its first album in 2012. The project received 3.5 out of 5 in its HipHopDX review. "From mic to plug, Wu Block is a vintage Rap release only lacking in invention," HipHopDX said at the time. "Ghost and Sheek have made these songs repeatedly their entire career, only this time they created them together. And that's all right."
1. "Cappa Wu Block" f. Cappadonna
2. "Wu Block Biznez" f. Ghostface Killah & Sheek Louch
3. "Big Money" f. Ghostace Killah & Sheek Louch
4. "Guns on Em" f. Sheek Louch
5. "Ain't Coming From Class" f. Solomon Childs & Sheek Louch
6. "Wanted Dead Or Alive" f. Cappadonna & Solomon Childs
7. "Put Ya Hands Up" f. Ghostface Killah & Sheek Louch

UPDATE: A Greenstreets Entertainment representative has issued the following statement to HipHopDX regarding Wu Block 2's cover art and tracklisting.
"We weren't ready to make an announcement," the representative says in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. "The distributor jumped the gun. That art and tracklist was for discussion purposes [and] not official."
The representative says the label is "prob[ably]" set to make an official announcement regarding this project next week.

We think so. At Box, we envision a future where all your important business content, contacts and tools are accessible across all platforms and devices. We want Box to be the hub for your organization's content, making it easy to centralize files on Box, and then extend them to all relevant applications. And we're excited to announce that we've taken another big step in this direction with today's NetSuite integration.
With Box.net for NetSuite, we're bringing all of Box's collaboration and workflow tools directly to the NetSuite platform, meaning users can access, manage and share content without ever leaving NetSuite. This is particularly powerful since NetSuite customers tend to run their entire business on the NetSuite platform - from sales and support teams, to accounting and billing departments. By connecting NetSuite with Box's cloud content management, organizations will be able to engage with all their content on the same application used company-wide to track customer interactions.
Box.net for NetSuite helps keep disparate departments in sync by providing a central platform for all crucial business content, and it also enhances productivity. When viewing a customer record on NetSuite, users have the option of browsing and accessing all their content from the Box tab, or just specific files and folders they've associated with that record. They can also perform basic Box functions such as uploading, downloading and sharing files, as well as any OpenBox action, like sending a file using Outlook or Gmail, sending a contract to be signed using EchoSign, or printing with FedEx Office. All this, without ever leaving NetSuite. And as an added bonus, we're providing unlimited cloud storage for all NetSuite customers who take advantage of the Box integration.
We're really excited about what this integration means for NetSuite and Box customers, as well as the broader implications. By connecting complementary, best-of-breed cloud services, cloud vendors are making it possible for organizations to run their entire business in the cloud, reducing cost and maintenance while boosting efficiency.
To get a first-hand look at this integration, SuiteCloud attendees should swing by Box booth #2. Hope to see you there!

To the editor: A student in communication studies at UNC-Wilmington recently presented her proposal for re-designing the university's Web site. As part of a required project in pursuit of her bachelor's degree, Stephanie Putnam of Leland recommended the separation of academic and non-academic subjects for continuing education courses.
UNC-Wilmington's Web site currently processes CE requests; however, with this change, Brunswick Community College, as well as teachers in eight surrounding counties, could benefit from easier, more informative accessibility.
To the editor: I have lived more than 20 miles from the coast since 1978 and have never had a weather-related damage claim on my property insurance, yet my premiums have tripled.
The last claim I had was on property in Wingate (Union County).
We are getting increases, and the western counties are getting reductions. Hugo went there and not here.
Our representatives are trying, but nothing will help until we property owners get involved. We need to write and call to get the news media involved. There are 13 coastal counties involved.
To the editor: Please tell me it isn't true, Tiger; or better still tell me who you really are?
It seems I don't know the person. He is one who has seemingly a bottomless pit of talent, a beautiful wife and kids, a never-ending lake of money, and is a gentle person, who adults look upon as "simply amazing."
To the editor: Each member of our class is working on a project called Parade of States. We are responsible for gathering as much information as we can. I have North Carolina for my state.
If any of your readers would help me out by sending any pictures, postcards, used license plates, facts or products from your state, it would be greatly appreciated.
To the editor: The book "The Road to Serfdom" by Frederick Hayek is a primer on the socialist world into which we are plunging.
With the takeover of healthcare by the government, our descent into a government-controlled plantation begins.
To the editor: (In response to L. Hiester of OIB letter.) Is your glass always half empty, never half full? Felines do not deposit waste in driveways; they cover their feces and their urine. Many cats, including Bob, cohabitate with the avian population. Cats kill to eat, unlike humans.
Nothing ever entered my door without being neutered (with the exception of my husband and our sons).
To the editor: New to the neighborhood, I was walking my Labrador retriever Sasha by the house next door when I saw a beautiful Siamese cat. Instead of bolting, the cat sat quietly assessing us.
Later, I met the Hardings. I was invited into their backyard for a cold drink. I saw the Siamese lying close by, quietly watching birds on a feeder. Our eyes met, and I swear the cat seemed to say, "Hi, I'm Bob. Welcome to the neighborhood."
To the editor: Mr. Donnelly [in his recent letter] proves he either does not know his history or does not understand it.
The U.S. fought in Korea and withdrew without victory. The U.S. fought in Vietnam and withdrew without victory.
President Bush claimed victory when there was none. Eight years after starting a war that has been proven to be without a basis, the U.S. is still engaged but will withdraw without victory.
To the editor: Prescription pain pill abuse is on the rise, and more and more we are hearing about people becoming addicted to medicine that was prescribed for pain.
Pill addiction is growing like a brush fire in Brunswick County. It doesn't help matters that Hollywood has made it almost glamorous to take these pills, not to mention doctors doling out prescriptions like candy.
To the editor: Grissettown Longwood Fire & Rescue would like to thank the community for its support in 2009. We are looking forward to serving the community needs in 2010.
We also are looking for any unwanted or discarded vehicles, farm equipment, big trucks and trailers for training props in classes we will have in 2010. These training props will serve our fire department and other fire departments in the county.

The Celtics gathered today in Waltham for their final practice before Game 5 of their first round series. While there was plenty of talk about the C's 3-1 series deficit, the main subject of the day was Jason Collins' coming out yesterday in a Sports Illustrated article. For the first time since the announcement, Celtics players were able to weigh in and issues words of support for their former veteran teammate. Here are their words, unfiltered.
Kevin Garnett on Collins: "I'm just happy for him, being able to be himself. Everyone's personal lives is their personal livers and their personal preferences is just that. We're here to support everything he's doing. I'm just happy for him, that he can be himself."
KG on whether he thought he would see the day NBA player would come out: "Never really gave it much thought to be honest. People's personal preferences have nothing to do with my own."
Jason Terry on Jason Collins coming out: "Happy for him. It looks like he's had a tremendous weight lifted off of him. That's all you can ask for, for any man or woman to be at peace with themselves. Then you can find that ultimate happiness. Being a teammate of his, I know how hard he works, how dedicated he was to his craft. He was a great teammate, regardless of his sexual preferences. It didn't matter to me. I liked him as a guy, as a teammate and I still do."
Collins actually reached out to Paul Pierce and Doc Rivers days before he decided to come out.
Pierce tells how Collins came out to him: "I had a chance to talk to Jason before the news even broke. The crazy thing about it is that it's something I had mentioend to Doc that it was going to happen, there was going to be a gay player in pro sports to come out. It just so happens he seems to be first and i was one of his teammates, but to each his own. It's probably going to open the door to many more. There's so many pro athletes and human beings that live a dark life, that's scared to expose it, because of the exposure of sports and what people may think about it. I think he did a great thing though, to open the door for a number of athletes, who will now have the courage to come out."
Jeff Green on Collins: "I was happy for him. He's a great friend of mine. He's a good teammate."
Doc Rivers on Collins: "We had talked about it recently. When he called me to tell me, you could tell he wanted to tell me. I told him before he said it, 'Jason I could care less about what you're about to tell me.' And that's how I feel. I honestly feel that way. It's a non-factor to me, and I know it is a factor to a lot of people. I've never understood why anyone cares what someone else does. And I told Jason that it will be a non-issue eventually, but it will not be right now."

Author Biography
Jimmy Cornell took up sailing in the early 1970s while working as a reporter for the BBC World Service in London. In 1975-1981, he circumnavigated the planet on a 36-foot sailboat with his wife, Doina Cornell, and two children. He has since circumnavigated twice more while logging more than 200,000 sailing miles in the world's oceans. In 1986, Cornell organized and launched the first Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), an annual flotilla voyage from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean that is now in its twentieth year and has become the largest transoceanic event in the world. Cornell then founded the World Cruising Club, which specializes in international sailing events, and in August 1998 he initiated the Millenium Round-the-World Rally, in which more than 50 yachts sailed together around the world. Five years after its launch, his website www.noonsite.com attracts more than 1 million hits per month. Cornell is a contributing editor and regular columnist for Cruising World magazine, where his columns support sales of his books. He is the author of World Cruising Routes, which has sold more than 65,000 copies in North America and more than 130,000 copies worldwide since its first publication more than twenty years ago.

Meatballs, apple pie and a new P.B. hangout
San Diego's older neighborhoods are getting transformed, one restaurant at a time.
In Pacific Beach, a longtime dining haunt is undergoing a complete overhaul, while in University Heights, a versatile restaurateur, inspired by the neighborhood pharmacies of yesteryear, plans to open a modern spin on an old-fashioned soda fountain. And downtown La Jolla will get a taste of resort-hotel dining, with the planned opening of a sister restaurant to Amaya at The Grand Del Mar.
The upcoming restaurant openings, planned for this year and next, are further evidence of the culinary boom reshaping many of the city's established neighborhoods where residents are eager for innovative dining options not always found in a chain outlet.
Certainly, turnover among restaurants remains high — witness the July closing of the high-profile Provençal restaurant, Cavaillon, in North County's Santaluz neighborhood. Still, there are more eateries opening than closing in San Diego County, according to industry stats.
Arsalun Tafazoli, who co-owns several downtown San Diego restaurants, said his idea for a neighborhood bar that will be paired with a next-door restaurant was inspired by an article he read a couple of years ago in The New Yorker.
"The writer was talking about growing up in Brooklyn and how her parents owned a neighborhood pharmacy, and she talked about how this neighborhood institution impacted her life, but it had grown extinct," recalled Tafazoli, who co-owns Consortium Holdings' collection of restaurants with Nathan Stanton.
"I started doing research and saw that it was a core part of every community during the '30s and '40s. What I realized was that the things the pharmacy represented were the same values of why I'm in the business: creating that public gathering place where people come to interact."
Here's a closer look at three of San Diego's bigger restaurant openings expected in the coming months.
The Patio on Lamont Street
For 26 years, the Lamont Street Grill was a dining staple in Pacific Beach, but when it closed its doors last year, real estate developer Gina Champion-Cain stepped in to fill the void. She bought the business and the 7,000-square-foot property on which it sits, including a couple of apartments she has since renovated and is renting out.
The former chef-owner, Bob Marnul, said he decided it was time to move on and focus instead on his growing catering business.
Meanwhile, Champion-Cain has gutted the interior of the old house that years ago was converted into the Grill and has re-imagined it for her new 2,300-square-foot eatery and adjacent 600-square-foot patio.
"I love neighborhood eateries, and I love the urban core and felt bad that this neighborhood icon was closing," said Champion-Cain, who has been involved in a number of downtown redevelopment projects, including the House of Blues on Fifth Avenue. "I thought there's nothing more wonderful than having your local Cheers, and this has a lovely outdoor patio with a fireplace. It's like you're having friends over for a cookout, and that's the vibe of this restaurant."
The Patio, with a Mediterranean-Asian menu that will focus largely on shared small plates, will have an earthy feel, featuring furniture fashioned from re-purposed wood, a "living green wall" of tropical plantings, and an outdoor-indoor bar. Even the bricks from the former patio have been reused to cover an interior wall.
The design also includes an upper-level loft that seats 30, overlooking the patio.
Says Champion-Cain, "You'll feel comfortable wearing flip-flops or a beaded dress before the opera."
Where: 4445 Lamont St., Pacific Beach
Opening date: First week in October
Sample dishes: Braised short rib with whipped parsnips, demi glacé and Tabasco onion strings, Vietnamese spring roll with hoisin barbecue and spicy Thai peanut sauce

Two years ago, I used the Adventure Cycling Transamerica maps to tour across all of Virginia and another 70 miles into Kentucky. I found the maps to be generally excellent.
One problem, however, was sometimes experiencing a cycling day that was either too long or too short, based on the available places to spend the night. For example, the first available motel/campground was, say, 30 miles from my starting point. The second place was 50 miles from my starting point. I would have to stay at the first place (a much too-short cycling day) because I just don't do 80 miles (yet).
Apparently, VA is not like the west in that you can camp almost "anywhere."
Any suggestions for alleviating this problem in my upcoming Transamerica05 tour? Other routes? Friends who want to take me in for the night? BTW, a few other places were available to spend the night along the route, but they charged way over my budget ($100, roughly).

text: NI family tree records go online 09 Apr 2014 A new online service for searching family history has been launched to mark the 150th anniversary of birth and death records in Northern Ireland. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Prior to this, family records could only be accessed in the public search room in the General Register Office for Northern Ireland in Belfast.The new way of searching, called Genie, means civil records for births over 100 years old, marriages over 75 years old and deaths over 50 years old can be trawled through from anywhere in the world.A complete civil registration system began in 1864 recording vital life events including births, deaths and marriages in order to inform the Government's planning for public services including health and education.Launching the new online service, Minister Simon Hamilton said: "The General Register Office and District Registrars have provided and continue to provide an invaluable service to the public, giving individuals and families information about family history since 1864."In marking 150 years of civil registration we have progressed from hand written records to a new online service, which facilitates searches of Northern Ireland's historical records."As Finance Minister I have been promoting the need for Public Sector Reform as an essential element in the delivery of high quality public services to our citizens in the face of increasing expectations and reducing budgets. Engaging with the citizen and adopting more innovative ways of delivering services, as demonstrated through GRO's new Family History online service, is an excellent example of this."Dr Norman Caven, Registrar General for Northern Ireland, said: "The new service offers the opportunity to search and view historical Northern Ireland civil registration records online."In addition, customers will be able to book an appointment at the GRO public search facility in Belfast where the new system will host the complete set of Northern Ireland civil registration records. More generally, customers will also be able to avail of an improved service for ordering Northern Ireland civil registration certificates online."The new service is available by clicking on this link http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/family-history © UTV Share Share Share

I may would go 9 if I where you. by the time you ad pulley(s) and the rack itself your gonna lose over a foot or so. 8 will work but it may be problematic at some times. Ours is prolly 8 ft and from time to time I wish it were taller. but overall it works and is good but sometimes that extra foot would be better to have. But do what you want. 8 ft will work
I would go at the least 10ft (above ground). I am sure you will have pulleys or block & tackles to pull the deer or hogs up. If you ever hang a deer for any time you don't want the dogs to get to your deer. I learned from experience and something will get to the deer if not at least 4' above ground. I used 14' 10 x 10's with about 3 ft in the ground with 8" x 8" 3/8" plate bolted to connecting the top to the sides. It's been used for about 9 years with no problems at all. Gary
I agree with Allaboutspecks, err to the high side...
Agree, 12' or more. More is always better. Can always winch down, but it's a pain bending down to skin a deer.
Thanks for all the comments guys. I am going to defer to the wisdom of the great sportsmen on this site and go with at least 10' and will probably build the 12'. To be honest, I was being cheap after looking at the price of lumber, but I guess the lesson is to not sacrifice quality for price.
Thanks again.

Adults, Children Pack Painted Earth to Make Tiles for Terry
The Painted Earth art studio in Countryside Marketplace was packed today with residents painting...
|The Painted Earth art studio in Countryside Marketplace was packed today with residents painting tiles in honor of Terry Smith Jr.
"I just thought this was a good way to show my support, said Piccola, mother of 10-year-old and 4-year-old daughters. "I'm not really an artist, but it's a nice way to bring the community together. It shows what an awesome community we live in.
A body matching the boy's description was found buried on the property of his Menifee home last week following a four-day search by thousands of volunteers over several square miles. Through supplies and manpower donated by the Painted Earth pottery and art studio and funds donated to the Remembering Terry Smith group, the mosaic and plaque honoring Terry will be mounted on the wall at Menifee Market, near where the boy lived.
A day after residents were offered the chance to come to Painted Earth to create their tributes to Terry, the art studio was packed with customers today. Paying $3 each for one tile per family to cover materials only, young and old painted colorful designs and poignant messages in another sign of the community unity shown ever since the boy was first reported missing.
"The first person was in line at 5:45 this morning," said store manager Gayle Durivage. "By the time I got here at 9, the line was all the way down the side of the building. It's been crowded all day and everyone has been wonderful. It's been a really hot day and the AC couldn't really handle it, and people have had to wait their turn. But everyone has been patient, respectful and kind."
Bill Gillette, one of the organizers of the massive volunteer search effort, joined his girlfriend Anna Bolton in decorating tiles for the mosaic.
"We needed something like this as a tribute to Terry," said Gillette, one of the committee members who voted to use the group's remaining funds to help pay for the mosaic. "Several companies have stepped forward, offering to take care of the funeral. The money from our fund was still there, and it turned out to be the perfect amount for this.
"A lot of people out there were doubting our intentions with the fund. Hopefully, people will agree this is a proper tribute."
Painted Earth is located at 30010 Haun Road in the Countryside Marketplace.

Execs Give OSHA Standards Mixed Reviews
Villano, Matt, Editor & Publisher
After years of planning, the U.S. Senate approved a bill last month that gives the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) the right to establish ergonomic standards for general industry and make these guidelines into law. While some newspaper executives applaud the move, others denounce it, saying the standards could force them to spend millions of dollars a year on compliance.
"It's an issue on which many papers are naturally split," says Donald Hensel, manager of environmental and safety services for the Newspaper Association of America. "I don't think there's a paper in the country that doesn't want its employees to be safe, but, at the same time, some of these smaller papers might have to invest a lot of money in making sure their operations are up to snuff. Budgeting for something like that, when you never thought you'd have to, can be a real challenge."
A number of ergonomics experts say newspapers should have expected these standards. The National Safety Council and OSHA have been working toward establishing these standards in all industries for most of the decade. Their reasoning? Officials from both organizations claim the standards are necessary to reduce the number of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, a leading cause of workers' compensation costs and injuries that result in days away from work.
The National Safety Council released the first draft of these standards in 1993, and the proposed guidelines have gone relatively unchanged since then.
A draft of the guidelines found on the OSHA Web site (http://www.osha.gov) proposes that organizations in every industry adopt or establish a basic ergonomics program to make the workplace safer for everyone. Components of this basic program include:
Health and risk-factor surveillance
Job analysis
Medical management
Training and education
Program evaluation
In theory, most newspaper experts agree with such a program but, in practice, many say OSHA's proposed ergonomics guidelines will force them to hire physical or occupational therapists to oversee parts of these programs.
For most of the larger papers, this is not a problem. Papers such as The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times have had ergonomic coordinators for years. For smaller papers, however, the guidelines present more of a challenge. How will these papers afford paying for the new programs? How will they know how to set them up? According to Cliff Ward, managing editor at The Northwest Herald in Crystal Lake, Ill., none of the answers is very clear. Ward says his paper spends about 800 dollars on ergonomic equipment for each employee, and, already that figure is too high. …

A good lease for your business premises is vital and could mean the difference between success or failure.
A poor leasing decision can be a costly mistake as a lease is usually central to the goodwill, value, and future sale of the business.
A lease is a legally binding contract, so while leases may be complex and difficult to comprehend, it's essential that you fully understand the terms and conditions before making a commitment.
It's also important that you understand your rights and obligations in relation to the lease in order to deal with any disputes that may arise, and to know who to contact for help.
Legal and commercial advice should be obtained before:
Together with legal and financial advice, you should also seek business and property advice in order to ensure the lease is based on sound business and property principles.
The Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreements Act 1985 regulates many retail shop leases in Western Australia.
An understanding of the Act is essential if it regulates your lease. Even if your lease is not regulated by the Act it's a good idea to make sure you're familiar with it as you might wish to negotiate some of the provisions of the Act into your commercial lease.
We have a range of fact sheets and booklets to download so you can be fully informed about the Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreements Act 1985.
The Act covers leases:
excluded however are the following:
Leasing generally involves the following seven stages. Each of these activities can be extensive so ensure you allocate adequate time to deal with each step properly.
Disputes arise between tenants and landlords from time to time and should be resolved as cost-effectively and with as little damage to the relationship as possible. Whatever method you use to resolve the dispute, you must be logical and clear about the facts and prepare your case well. Be prepared to argue your case calmly and organise the evidence to support your position.
First, read the lease and other associated documents to clarify the rights and obligations of each party about the issue in dispute. In many cases, a well-written lease will set out what both parties have agreed, and the action required will often be obvious.
If the lease or other lease documents do not clarify the issue, then obtain business advice from us, or legal advice.
There are four options available to resolve your leasing dispute:

One of THOSE days.....
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
where for some unexplainable reason I seem to want to burst into tears all the time! I can easily trace back this high state of emotion to a very stressful last few days, so I know where it's coming from and I know that it will all pass soon, but sitting in the midst of it is still hard.
At lunch, I went and got myself a cappucino and a selection of four cookies from a nearby bakery. I got them, enjoyed them, and immediately felt better. As I was aware that I needed to treat myself kindly, I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. Usually, on a Tuesday I have a cappucino and a treat in the afternoon. I was perfectly prepared to give myself 'double', but when the time came, I found it wasn't what I really wanted at all. The cookies and cappucino earlier had satisfied me enough.
On my way home I knew that the next step to 'getting my head right again' would be a jog. In fact, I knew that I needed to jog. It would probably bring me back into a rational state of mind. It seems I go jogging when I'm unhappy now......
After my jog I got home and had another listen to myself - I needed a bubble bath and a cup of Jasmine white tea. I had the tea, I needed to go to the corner store to get the bubble bath. Off I went. Entered the corner store, got the bubble bath, thought about getting my favourite chocolate (but they didn't have it), and so I left. Yes, you read correctly. I left the corner store without chocolate......
Got home, ran the bath, lit the candle, put some music on and gave myself some time to unwind.......with one vital ingredient missing: chocolate
Now, I don't quite know what it was about today. My lunch time cookies were definitely high calorie and chocolatey enough - but usually I end up blowing my budget on chocolate when I feel like this. Not today.
Something has changed. There was a new thought in my head that reminded me that I don't feel better after I've had a lot of chocolate - and I listened to it. Not in a big drum roll kind of way. The thought came, I heard it, I went, yeah, that's true, and considered the next option: jogging, jasmine tea and bubble bath.
This is new for me. Will it last? I guess I'll have to see how I hold out tomorrow......

I think you handled this bad emotional day very well.
Instead of eating mindlessly, you took a minute to think and found out what you really wanted, and that was cookies and capuccino and jogging and a bubble bath and some time for yourself.
I hope I will do so well myself too when it's my turn!

Maybe it was because you had given yourself permission to have it. I find that if I try to ban something I immediately crave it, whereas if I don't, I find that it's not as attractive as it once was and I can just keep it at 'as a treat ' level. Well done for your adult way of looking at things, and I hope you feel less tearful now.

YAY! Things are finally starting to stick! I finally am to the point where I look for food when I'm hungry and I REALLY think about what I really want to eat instead of just reaching for junk. Great job and keep it up!

Preserving the Harvest: Canning, Freezing, and Drying
One blessing (or curse, depending on your mood) of eating local is experiencing bounty. But even the most ardent foodies can be overwhelmed by zucchini up the wazoo, bushels of berries, and mountains of tomatoes. Instead of letting all that beautiful, fresh produce go to waste, why not try your hand at perserving it?
There are four ways you can preserve fresh foods: Freezing, Canning, Pickling and Dehydrating. We will do our best to educate you on these processes, but here are a few books to help you along the way:
The Dehydrator Bible (400+ recipes!!!)
Freezing is perhaps the easiest and most practical way to preserve food. Almost anything can be frozen- even whole tomatoes! Unlike other food preservation practices like pickling and canning freezing allows you to preserve your food without any acid or additives. Watery vegetables such as cucumbers, potatoes and celery turn soft upon freezing and should be canned instead. Green beans, peas and corn, on the other hand, make good candidates for freezing, since they retain their shape and texture even after being frozen and thawed.
Freeze flat.To make the most of freezer space, freeze food flat in freezer bags, then stack the bags horizontally or vertically in the freezer. Freeze fruits and vegetables (see more on freezing vegetables below) in freezer bags on a cookie sheet, or freeze first on a cookie sheet and then place in freezer bags to keep fruit or vegetables from sticking together.
Get the air out. Squeeze as much air as possible out of the freezer bag to not only save room in the freezer but also to keep food from developing freezer burn. Remove the maximum amount of air from the freezer bag by closing the top of the bag almost all the way, inserting a drinking straw and sucking the air out of the freezer bag. Obviously, you need to take care if using this method.
Temperature and circulation. Use a freezer thermometer and keep the freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Leave some space around frozen food packages so air can circulate to keep the freezer running efficiently.
Mark, date and list. It is difficult to mark cold freezer bags, so remember to mark freezer bags with what the contents are and the date frozen before you place food in the bags. Then keep a list of what you have stored in your freezer and refer to it when menu planning to you do not end up with the infamous "mystery mummified freezer food" that has lived too long in the recesses of your freezer!
Freezing Greens & Vegetables:
You need:
Fresh greens (spinach, kale, chard, etc) or vegetables (sweet corn, peppers, peas, green beans work well)
"Ziploc" type freezer bags (the freezer bag version is heavier and protects better against freezer burn.
1 large pot of boiling water
2 large bowls, one filled with cold water and ice.
1 sharp knife
Step 1 - Pick or select the veggies!
This is the most important step! You need greens or veggies that are FRESH and crisp. Limp, old greens will make nasty tasting frozen greens. Select young, tender green leaves.
Step 2 - Wash the veggies !
Rinse the leaves/veggies in plain cold water. I use a large bowl of cold water and a colander to let them drain.
Step 3 -Hull the greens/trim vegetables
Cut off any woody stems. or damaged pieces. Prepare vegetables as you would like them for cooking (shuck corn, slice peppers, trim green beans)
Step 4 - Get the pots ready
Get the pot of boiling water ready (about 2/3 filled) and a LARGE bowl with ice and cold water.
Step 5 - Blanch the greens/vegetables.
All fruits and vegetables contain enzymes and bacteria that, over time, break down the destroy nutrients and change the color, flavor, and texture of food during frozen storage. greens requires a brief heat treatment, called blanching, in boiling water or steam, to destroy the enzymes before freezing. Blanching times for collards is 3 minutes and all other greens 2 minutes.Begin counting the blanching time as soon as you place the greens in the boiling water. Cover the kettle and boil at a high temperature for the required length of time. You may use the same blanching water several times (up to 5). Be sure to add more hot water from the tap from time to time to keep the water level at the required height.
Step 6 - Cool the greens/vegetables
Cool greens/vegetables immediately in ice water. Drain them thoroughly (this shouldn't take more than a minute). After vegetables are blanched, cool them quickly to prevent overcooking. Plunge the greens/vegetables into a large quantity of ice-cold water (I keep adding more ice to it). A good rule of thumb: Cool for the same amount of time as the blanch step. For instance, if you blanch greens for 3 minutes, then cool in ice water for at least 3 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
Step 7 - Bag
Fill the bag and remove the air to prevent drying and freezer burn. TIP: If you don't own a vacuum food sealer to freeze foods, place food in a Ziploc bags, zip the top shut but leave enough space to insert the tip of a soda straw. When straw is in place, remove air by sucking the air out. To remove straw, press straw closed where inserted and finish pressing the bag closed as you remove straw.
Step 8 - Done!
Pop them into the freezer, on the quick freeze shelf, if you have one!
Freezing Tomatoes:
Preparing for Freezing:
Wash and dip in boiling water for 30 seconds to loosen skins. Core and peel. Tomatoes can also be frozen whole or in pieces with skin still intact.
Best Freezing Method(s):
Raw Tomatoes
Freeze whole or in pieces. Pack into suitable containers, leaving l-inch headspace. Seal, label and freeze.
Tomato Juice
Cut washed and cored tomatoes into quarters or eighths. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Press through a sieve. If desired, season with 1 teaspoon salt to each quart of juice. Pour into suitable containers leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal, label and freeze.
Stewed Tomatoes
Remove stem ends, peel and quarter ripe tomatoes. Cover and cook until tender (10 to 20 minutes depending on size). Place pan containing tomatoes in cold water to cool. Pack into suitable containers leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal, label and freeze.
Suitable Packaging:
Freezer containers should be moisture and vapor resistant and should not be prone to cracking or breaking at low temperatures. Containers should provide protection against absorbing flavors or odors and should be easy to label. Suitable packaging for freezing tomatoes includes freezer grade-plastic bags, rigid plastic containers and glass containers.
Maximum Storage Time:
10 to 12 months at 0ºF.
Thaw tomato products in the refrigerator, stove top or defrost them in the microwave according to your manufacturer's recommendations.
Freezing Berries:
Freezing Blueberries:
Rinse berries in cool water and pat dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Pick over berries to make sure no stems, unripe berries, or damaged berries are in the mix.
Rinse berries with cool water and pat dry.
Lay berries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Put in freezer until frozen solid, usually overnight does the trick.
Transfer berries to resealable plastic storage bags, forcing as much air as possible out of the bag before sealing.
Store in the freezer until ready to use, up to 6 months.
Freezing Strawberries:
Make sure the berries are in good condition, i.e. no mold or discoloration.
Wash the berries in water and pat dry with a towel.
Remove stems and leaves from the top of each berry with a paring knife.
Place berries in a single layer on a baking sheet. They should not be touching. Place baking sheets in the freezer for at least 7 hours or overnight.
Remove frozen berries from the freezer and pour into a ziploc bag, now that they are fully frozen, they should not stick together in the bag. Bags of frozen berries can now be put back into the freezer and stored up to 6 months.
Freezing Raspberries:
Put raspberries into a colander and dunk in cold water to wash gently. Lift and drain.
Place raspberries in a single layer on a cookie sheet and tray-freeze. Once frozen (within 24 hours), pack them into suitable containers, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal, label and freeze. Raspberries can also be packaged and placed directly into the freezer, although berries that are tray-frozen are less likely to freeze together in clumps.

It's not as hard as it sounds! Canning is a great way to preserve foods that have a high acid content or value-added foods like jams, pickles, and salsas. There are two main methods of canning: the Boiling Water Bath method, which allows you to can acidic foods by processing jars in boiling water and the Pressure Canner method which allows you to heat-process low acid foods by using a specifically designed metal kettle with a lockable lid. These canners have jar racks, one or more safety devices, systems for exhausting air, and a way to measure or control pressure...not for the faint of heart!
We will only be addressing the user-friendly traditional Boiling Water Bath method here.
Please read through THIS GLOSSARY OF CANNING TERMS before proceeding.
Please read these GUIDELINES FOR FOOD SAFETY before proceeding.
Adjusting for altitude (yes this really does matter!): If you are preserving at an altitude higher than 1,000 feet above sea level, adjust boiling water processing time as indicated. Find out your altitude HERE.
|5 minutes
|10 minutes
|15 minutes
|20 minutes
You will need:
Tongs: Have tongs ready for lifting hot foods out of boiling or simmering water. Any variety that you prefer will work, but a locking mechanism keeps them out of the way when not in use.
Jar lifter: This tool is a specialized set of tongs. Its rubberized ends fit securely around any size canning jar, to lift them in and out of your canner.
Canning funnel: Used for canning foods, this wide mouth tool keeps the rims of jars clean. It can also be used to fill ziplock bags neatly.
Canning jars: Canning jars are made from tempered glass to withstand the high heat and pressure of your canner. Both narrow- and wide-mouth jars are available, with wide-mouth being easiest to remove the food from once it is canned.
Water-bath canner. If you're going to can, you must use the appropriate canner. For canning high-acid foods (fruits, jellies, relishes, and pickles), get a water-bath canner like THIS ONE.
Prepare equipment and utensils.
Examine the jars for nicks or chips, the screw bands for proper fit and corrosion, and the new lids for imperfections and scratches. Wash everything in warm, soapy water, rinsing the items well and removing any soap residue.
Fill your canning kettle one-half to two-thirds full of water and begin heating the water.
Heat extra water in a saucepan as a reserve.
Submerge clean jars and lids in hot, not boiling, water.
Use your canning kettle for the jars and saucepan for the lids.
Transfer prepared food into the hot jars and release any air bubbles with a nonmetallic spatula.
Add more prepared food or liquid to the jar after releasing the air bubbles to maintain the recommended headspace.
Wipe the jar rims with a clean, damp cloth.
You need the rims clean to properly place the lids.
Place a hot lid onto each jar rim and hand-tighten the screw band.
Make sure the sealant side is touching the jar rim.
Suspend the jar rack on the inside edge of your canning kettle, place the filled jars in the jar rack, and lower the jar rack into the hot water.
Make sure the jars are standing upright and not touching each other. If your jars aren't covered by at least 1 inch of water, add boiling water from your reserve.
Cover the kettle and heat the water to a boil, reducing the heat and maintaining a gentle boil.
Start your processing time after the water boils. Maintain a boil for the entire processing period.
At the end of the processing time, remove your jars from the kettle with a jar lifter and allow them to cool.
Place them on a clean towel or paper towels. Completely cool the jars (12 to 24 hours).
Test the seals on the cooled jars by pushing on the center of the lid.
If the lid feels solid and doesn't indent, you have a successful vacuum seal.
Remove the screw bands from your sealed jars, then wash the sealed jars and the screw bands in hot, soapy water.
This removes any residue from the jars and screw bands.
Label your filled jars, including the date processed, and store them (without the screw bands) in a cool, dark, dry place.
