Tessa has everything to lose. Hardin has nothing to lose…except her. AFTER WE COLLIDED…Life will never be the same. #HESSA
After a tumultuous beginning to their relationship, Tessa and Hardin were on the path to making things work. Tessa knew Hardin could be cruel, but when a bombshell revelation is dropped about the origins of their relationship—and Hardin's mysterious past—Tessa is beside herself.
Hardin will always be…Hardin. But is he really the deep, thoughtful guy Tessa fell madly in love with despite his angry exterior—or has he been a stranger all along? She wishes she could walk away. It's just not that easy. Not with the memory of passionate nights spent in his arms. His electric touch. His hungry kisses.
Still, Tessa's not sure she can endure one more broken promise. She put so much on hold for Hardin—school, friends, her mom, a relationship with a guy who really loved her, and now possibly even a promising new career. She needs to move forward with her life.
Hardin knows he made a mistake, possibly the biggest one of his life. He's not going down without a fight. But can he change? Will he change…for love?
My Thoughts:
"Just because he can't love you the way you want him to doesn't mean he doesn't love you with everything he has."
When I finished reading the first book in this series, After, my head was full of Hardin and how disappointed in him I was. I was convinced that Anna Todd was evil for taking Hardin in the direction that she did. I was almost certain that my dislike for Hardin could never be overcome. So going into After We Collided, my anxiety levels were through the roof. There was just no coming back from what he did.
After We Collided picks up exactly where After left us, and if I thought that I had witnessed Hardin's depth of depravity I was mistaken. We learn things about his past that had me almost to the point of putting the book down and walking away. Just giving up on the story and never returning to it. It was only the little voice in my head of an online friend singing the praises of this book that kept me going. But I was devastated, disappointed and angry. I felt like there was nothing about Hardin that I could like. But, I've said it a hundred times before... I love broken characters, and if Hardin is nothing else, he is broken. He's going through a whole world of pain in this book and boy, didn't it pull at my heart strings. He really is trying so hard to be a better person, but after years of living the way he has been it's not going to happen overnight, but at least he's putting in the effort. And eventually I began to see the changes. I saw little snatches of the amazingly caring and loving person he could be. I saw him try to reign in his temper and to think before he spoke.
This isn't the pain I had read about in novels. This pain isn't just in my mind, this pain isn't physical. This is a soul-aching pain, something that is ripping me apart from the inside out, and I don't think I can survive it.
One of the big pluses for me was having the story told in dual points of view. That was what allowed me to soften as far as Hardin was concerned. Anna Todd was a genius for doing it, because without that, I wouldn't have been able to feel anything for Hardin. But being inside his head allowed me to understand his regrets, and his all encompassing love for Tessa.
There's no denying that Hardin and Tessa are toxic together. They fight like no other couple I've ever read about. But as the story went on, my whole view of these characters changed and it was Tessa that was completely doing my head in. She makes the dumbest, most impulsive decisions. And almost all of them involve other males. I wanted to reach into the pages of this book and shake some damn sense into the girl. Hardin only has to look sideways at another girl and Tessa goes all crazy ass on him, but then every time she goes way beyond that, she expects Hardin to forgive her. Tessa, listen up. Sharing the love around makes you look skanky. Quit it!!
Communication and trust. These are the two of the biggest obstacles between Tessa and Hardin. For the most part they're really lacking in both those areas. I completely get the trust thing. They have both done some crazy hurtful stuff to each other. And where most people seem to learn from their mistakes, Tessa and Hardin seem to repeat the crazy behaviour over and over again.
I said in my review of After, that love is about respect, care and concern, and I still don't think that these guys have got the balance anywhere near right. I see glimpses of it sometimes, but then just as quickly they do something to blow it all to pieces. They seem to live in their own little bubble of drama. I have no doubt that they want things to be good between them, but they're just struggling to work out how to do it.
"You aren't some conquest of mine -- you're everything to me! You're my breath, my pain, my heart, my life!"
But in saying that, love comes in all shapes and sizes. What fits for me, may not work for you. But we love who we love, without much say in the matter. The heart wants what it wants. Hardin and Tessa want each other, despite all the drama.
Anna Todd is the queen of 'oh my God' endings. She leaves me turning the last page always wanting more. She knows how to tweak my emotions at every turn so that I'm in a constant state of feeling. Whether it be anger, or disappointment, or sadness, or frustration, I'm always feeling something. And she balances it all out with a touch of Hardin sweetness.
Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
4/5 Addictive Stars.
A huge thank you to Simon & Schuster Australia for sending me this review copy.

Living the Hybrid Dream- part 2
The push-button starter is a fun little quirk of the Prius that I have come to love. It makes turning on the car more akin to turning on a computer (a particularly apt analogy, considering the "gas gauge consumption game" one constantly plays with the accelerator) than starting a license-requiring powerful and potentially dangerous machine. With the keyless remote that my Prius came with, you don't even have to put a key in the ignition. Just open the door, turn on the computer, er.. starter, and away you go…at a silent electric-only glide for the first 20 km/hr.
I have come to learn that while the hybrid car is indeed a fabulous fuel-efficient vehicle, it does have a few quirks, and even (gasp) an occasional drawback.
The fuel efficiency numbers are not quite all they are proclaimed to be, largely because of that wretched quintessential Canadian topic of conversation: winter. Cold tends to reduce the efficiency because the hybrid engine runs during the first five-ten minutes of start-up, bringing the car up to a reasonable warmth level. The length of that warm-up varies by the outside temperature.
When one is used to watching the consumption level like a hawk during driving, always striving to never exceed 5.0 L/100km, it's very disconcerting to watch the gauge rises to 10, 15, 20 L/100 km during this warm-up and stay there, EVEN when you release the accelerator and coast in neutral or come to a stop. Because of our lengthy education through Green Venture about the evils of idling one's vehicle, this oddity of the hybrid doing its darnedest to idle makes the veins on my head twitch when it occurs.
Once the car gets up to speed, it generally performs well as per normal. However, I have noticed that I am no longer getting the fabulous 4.0-5.0 fuel numbers I was getting in July (presumably when the car was nice and toasty warm all the time), but instead my numbers are hovering around 6.0 L/100 km on average.
It's terrifically tempting to do an extra drive across the lower City of Hamilton (a nice flat uninterrupted run in many spots, particularly Cannon Street). This would get me a few miles of "zero" consumption: running the car at speed, and only "feathering" the accelerator enough to keep the electric motor turning the wheels without actually drawing any gas. The unfortunate reality is that there is always a stop light, braking for another vehicle, or other reason for minor slowdowns and the subsequent need to push on the accelerator again and get back up to "cruising" speed.
One other interesting feature about the Prius is that you can reset the average consumption meter when you fill up, or leave it. This allows you to keep an ongoing record of average fuel consumption or a trip-specific one (between fill-ups). Sometimes, after a particularly inefficient trip (driving at high speeds for a long time, driving up the escarpment back and forth, short trips of 5 minutes or less where the car never gets a chance to fully warm up), it's very tempting to just "push the button" and wipe the slate clean.
All in all, the hybrid experience has been a good one so far. I am hopeful the car holds up well to the abuse it is likely to get in my household. Keep you posted…

WordPress is the most popular platform for blogging and it offers great benefits. When you learn about the WordPress tools that are available, you will be able to create a great blog. Here are some of the things you need to know when using WordPress.
If your title is long, clean up your post's permalink. Avoid cumbersome URLs like "The Ten Ways Intelligent Parents Manage Their Children." Try using just the keywords for the best results.
If you have a long title on a post, be sure to clean up your permalink. Use only the most important keywords so that your URL isn't too cumbersome. Be sure to select only the keywords from your long titles to create your permalinks.
Devote some time to learning about the various options and tools that you have at your fingertips when you use WordPress for blogging. For example, clicking on KITCHEN SINK gives you many more choices in formatting and importing that set your posts apart. Also, notice SCREEN OPTIONS on your administrator pages. You will see many formatting items under your control.
Spend some time getting to know all of WordPress's tools and options. For instance, clicking on the visible Kitchen Sink button can offer more choices for formatting posts to make them more unique. There is also a Screen Options tab located on the admin pages of your site. Use that to control all kinds of formatting elements.
Make sure you use Alt and Title. text when you are uploading images in your posts. You can create more SEO phrases and viewers have the ability to see what images are accessible in case they have turned images off.
Educate yourself on WordPress before you get started. If you plan ahead, things will flow better once you get started. Learn about SEO, content creation, and how WordPress can best be used to your advantage.
It is easy to do video blogging with WordPress. While you may need to prepare a little more, that makes things worth it. The majority of web surfers are visual in nature. Videos offer perspectives that written content cannot, so they are quite helpful.
Make sure the URLs for your posts do not have special characters in them. They make life hard for search engines when they spider the site, so get rid of them. While utilizing keywords, make sure you keep those URLs short as well.
You may sometimes devote much time in tweaking your blog in WordPress, and assume that your changes do not get saved regularly. This isn't always true. You might be able to solve the problem by clearing out your browser cache. Just hold the 'shift' key when you refresh your browser to see the changes.
Are there a lot of commenters to your posts? It can be hard to look through all of them, for yourself and others. Use a plugin to insert page numbers in the comments area. This will improve your blog's navigation and give your website a more organized look.
Do your posts get comments from lots of people? If that is the case, sorting through the many comments can get difficult both for you and your visitors. Use a plugin to insert page numbers in the comments area. This will improve your blog's navigation and give your website a more organized look.
Create a charming greeting for your website. This makes your site more personal when trying to relate to the visitor. In this way, your page will seem more human, and it will be accessible via the plugin called WP Greet Box.
The greeting appearing at the head of the WordPress website page should be very engaging. Not only does this personalize your website, it welcomes guests based on how they found your blog. Access this option using the WordPress Greet Box plugin as it helps make your visitors' experience less impersonal.
Ensure that users have easy access to your articles, which should be in their email, at their leisure. This is crucial for the purpose of sharing also, since many users might not have access to Twitter or Facebook at their job but may want to share with their friends your articles. You can use a plugin called WP-Email to help you do this.
Be careful when setting up usernames. Having admin or administrator as your username makes your blog more likely to be successfully attacked by bots. This causes your blog to be at a security risk. Take a look at the users page to get rid of any names such as "admin" or even "administrator." Choose something else.
Only install WordPress plugins you will actually use. Remember that your site's load time increases for every plugin you install. Plugins do slow down website performance, which can degrade your search engine ranking. Websites that run slow aren't ranked as highly.
It is important that you securely store your password. Additionally, only use reputable sites when downloading plugins. If your site is hit with malware or by hackers, you can lose everything you worked on.
Keep a back up of your blog. This should be done on a regular basis. Think about utilizing a plugin such as Xcloner. For added security, use plugins to make backup copies of your blog on several different locations. Losing every part of your blog would truly be a nightmare.
Connect the posts together with an internal-linking plugin to give your reader additional content on your website to enjoy. These plugins create lists of a few links to each post by using tag relevance.
You can give more content to the reader by using internal linking plugins on your website. These plugins allow you to list three or more links to each of your posts.
Use WordPress to schedule your blog post's publication dates ahead of time. This will save you a lot of time in the long run. Find the Publish option from your Edit screen. There should be an option for immediate publication. Set the times in military time and the day, month and year you want to post it. Approve the selection. When the dialog for schedule comes up, look it over and press "Schedule" if everything is correct.
Approving comments manually is an outdated practice. Akismet is great for this. You can choose to get emailed whenever a comment is left, but should not use manual approvals. If you fail to do this, you will not save yourself any time.
Nobody wants to manually approve comments anymore. Akismet is great for this. You can receive an email every time someone makes a comment, but it's better to have manual approval unchecked and authors with comments already approved to post. Pre-approving every post can consume large amounts of your time.
Always look at user reviews before using plugins. These plugins are not that difficult to create. You don't want to install a problematic plugin. A high rating and a lot of downloads usually signal that a plugin is safe.
Is it challenging to meet self-imposed deadlines for your posts? You can write something in advance and schedule it to publish at the time and date of your choosing. When you open a page for a new posting, you have the option to time the publication. Write when you're in the mood and take care of future posts.
If you need a WordPress blog host, only choose from those that feature a simple click function to install WordPress. This saves you the frustration of creating a separate database yourself. A one-click install can create the domain of your blog that you had chosen, then create the appropriate database.
Avoid using a drop-down menu to choose headers for your blog posts. Rather, use shortcuts on the keyboard. Depress the CTRL key along with a number between 1 and 6 to select one of the options. That will save a great deal of time if you're someone who often uses headers.
Let people comment on your site. This allows you to interact better with the people accessing your site, evoking a sense of community. Plugins allow you to approve particular comments before they show up online, so spammers and advertisers are not a problem.
Make your choice for host when it comes to your WordPress blog simple, meaning you can install the platform with a simple click. This will prevent the need to create a separate database. With a simple click, your host will be able to create your blog domain and your database.
Blog Authoring
Use a variety of blog authoring tools. Are you not fond of the dashboard on WordPress? Authoring programs designed for blogging sites may be the answer. A lot of tools are out there that are WordPress compatible but far more efficient. Give some of them a try, and you will surely find just the right tools for you.
There are a variety of blog authoring tools; check them all out. Have you had problems with the dashboard on WordPress? Give an alternate blog authoring program a try, such as Windows Live Writer. There are several WordPress compatible tools that can help you out. Try some out, and choose the one making your work easier.
Differentiate the author's comments by highlighting them. Users tend to ask questions and write concerns in the comments section. If there is a response from the author, it can be easily overlooked. You should make the author's comments a different color. This makes them easy to find.
Highlight your own comments. People frequently express concerns or ask questions in blog comment sections. It can be easy for responses to get lost in the sea of feedback. Highlight the author's comments as a different color. This will make them easier to find.
Create a plan before starting a WordPress website. List what you would like to include on the site and the information that your visitors would enjoy reading about. This will help you build a blog that covers your needs rather than you trying to tack a lot of things on at a later date.
Create a vision for your WordPress blog before you begin. Make sure that you know what you are doing before you put the plan into action. That lets you build a website that can accommodate all your needs so you don't have to add stuff later.
Don't forget about the "Read More" option. Nobody wants to reach the front page of a blog only to find a massive amount of text. Show your visitors a "read more" link that they can click. Doing otherwise can leave your blog cluttered and uninviting.
Use images on your sites. It's true that images really have more impact than just words alone. This will give your site much more flair. For your images, be sure to include the title and alt attribute so readers and search engines have better clarity.
Make good use of images when you blog. The saying about a picture being worth a lot more than words is true even today. Your site will possess added interest. Improve your website's standing on search engines by using alternate text and title tags on images.
There's a good reason WordPress is so popular. Clearly, WordPress has a wide variety of capabilities. Understanding how to use WordPress will make you a knowledgeable blogger. Make use of these tips and tricks to do just that.
Learn where to go if you run into difficulties with your site. One thing you can do is look for good social media forums where you can get your questions answered. These sites will help answer any questions you have concerning themes or plugins.

Chocolate gold coins, goldfish crackers and a treasure chest cake are just a few of many fun ideas for pirate-themed party food. Incorporate decorations and a seashell pasta salad, and the pirate fare is sure to impress.
Pirate-themed bashes are popular with party-goers of all ages. Ideas for pirate grub are plentiful. For snacks, consider fashioning boat-shaped vessels out of folded paper, and fill the boats with goldfish crackers or trail mix. A bowl overflowing with chocolate gold coins imitating pirates' loot provides a sweet nibble.
A seashell pasta salad is a more substantial offering for hungry guests. This salad is easily made by cooking the pasta according to the directions on the package. Once the pasta is cooked and cooled, coat the noodles with mayonnaise and other additions such as chopped chicken, celery, onions or grapes. Season to taste, and serve chilled.
A treasure chest cake topped with candy is the perfect desert. Bake two cake mixes according to the directions, using 9 by 13 pans. Once the cakes finish cooling, stack them on a board, and frost with chocolate frosting. Pile candied necklaces, coins and rings on the top, allowing pieces to spill over the sides of the cake. For added effect, wrap a piece of cardboard with foil, and frost the top of the foil-wrapped board. This board can be propped up with skewers to resemble a lid. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream.

Sometimes a new statistic will come out that shows amazing progress or decline in a certain area. These numbers may seem too good to be true, which often is a sign that there is some "fuzzy math" going on. For instance, numbers recently came out claiming that homelessness dropped 30 percent in just two years (from 2005 to 2007). Some have pointed to the finding as proof that the Bush administration's policies are working. Richard Land, head of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, heralded the numbers and used them to praise the Bush administration and attack the media for not reporting it more.
The number, however, sounded too amazing to be true. If there was such a large and quick decline in homelessness, would not more people have noticed even before the report was released? As it turns out, the way homeless people were counted changed. Thus, some and maybe even most of the change could be because of a different statistical approach. In the 2005 count, researchers walked around talking to homeless people, but were also allowed to made counts of other apparently homeless people they saw. In 2007, however, the researchers were not allowed to count someone unless they talked with that person. Thus, if a researcher saw three homeless people hanging out together under a bridge and one of them refused to talk to the researcher, then only two were included in the 2007 number but all three were counted in 2005. Since the method of counting was so different, the numbers cannot actually be compared. It may be that the Bush administration's policies have reduced homelessness (although probably not by 30 percent), but that cannot be proven since the methodology was changed. Thus, it is not wise to trumpet such numbers or claim media bias against those who ignored the useless statistical comparison.

Here to visually stimulate the masses.
Even as a small child Dylan was creative: as soon as he could pick up a marker it was straight to the drawing board be it paper, the closest wall or if those did not suffice — himself.
His origin story includes schooling in Graphic Design, Business, Advertising, and Marketing as well as a Certified Photographer. He is fluent in many Design tools and UX/UI experience help him navigate the constantly changing digital space.
A constant itch to learn new things pushes Dylan to pursue such disparate passions as Philosophy, Psychology, Music, Party tricks, and a sanity-preserving pint every now and then.
Today, Dylan Weller uses his varied talents for clients internationally. A visionary and dreamer first, this jack of all trades resists pigeonholing himself to specific mediums or skill sets.
He can often be found in his natural environs: At the beach or park enjoying the moment when the weather permits, skateboarding at his favourite local spots, reading in the sunlight, writing music, catching a concert, curled up with his loving and supportive girlfriend, or working on one of his many side-projects. Dylan is ready to take on whatever the world has to throw at him, with his signature Rock 'n' roll threaded tranquility.

Lovely quilt - I recognise the backing- I bought some at Ikea to make cushions! I really like the green fabrics - I bought a jelly roll of Westminster fabrics last year at a show but none of those lovely greens in it. Ah well, impulse buys, never do me any favours!ReplyDelete

Where the answers were blowing in the wind...
Apollo Temple and Oracle at Delphi
Ampitheatre at Acropolis
Monastery at Meteora
Street shopping, Athens
The Acropolis in Athen at night
Serving a gyro with a smile!
I didn't really believe the Greek guide when she pointed out a road far out in the valley. There was a crossroad too. Legend has it, she said, that Oedipus killed his father Laius, King of Thebes, just after the crossroad there.
And at Delphi, the place still felt so sacred. One could almost feel the power of the Oracle and the prophesies. This was the place responsible for changing the fate of man and nations alike in the olden days. I stood before the pillars that were the entrance to the Oracle and thought of anything that I may need the answer to... zilch! Why do I blank out at these times?!!
Beautiful people, beautiful places and amazing food. Life moved at an easy pace, with music, laughter, gyros, late nights and the acropolis towering over Athens. And then we went over to Turkey.
Bakhlava, kebabs, the majestic mosques and their beautiful minerets. We walked by the seaside, we crossed over to the Asian side and walked lanes and lanes of beautiful Turkish life. We got onto the Bosphorus cruise and at night checked out the amazing night life. But the most amazing thing was the sight of the sacred relics - the walking stick of Moses (yes, the one that parted the Red Sea!), Abraham's turban, the skull of John the Baptist, Prophet Mohammad's hair, his footprint on the famous stone, a handwritten letter by him...!!! I stared at it all spellbound.
And so another holiday ended. But it felt good to get back and get down to things I had lined up. Painting the house, making a few changes... something I had been wanting to do for the last 4-5 years. Changes that I need to take me to the next phase.

Stephen Maynard Clark (April 23, 1960 – January 8, 1991) was one of the co-lead guitarists for British hard rock band Def Leppard up until his death in 1991 of an accidental drug overdose.
Steve Clark was born and raised in Hillsborough, the north-western suburb of Sheffield, England. From an early age he showed interest in music -- his mother even took him to a concert to see The Shadows perform when he was six. At eleven, he asked his father, a taxi driver, for a guitar, and his father gave him one, on the condition that Steve would learn to play.
Clark primarily used Gibson guitars during his timeline with Def Leppard. He occasionally used other guitars, such as a Fender Stratocaster in the Love Bites video.
Before joining Def Leppard in 1978, Clark played cover songs with his small band, Electric Chicken, in Sheffield. Around that time, he met Pete Willis (Def Leppard's original guitarist/founder). Clark asked for a spot in the band and joined Def Leppard in January 1978. According to Joe Elliott in Behind the Music, Clark auditioned for Def Leppard by playing all of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird".[1]
While a guitarist for Def Leppard, he contributed to the band's music and lyrics. Clark and Pete Willis shared lead guitar duties, and Clark was nicknamed as "The Riffmaster".[citation needed]
When Willis was asked to leave Def Leppard, guitarist Phil Collen was recruited into the band.
He contributed to half of the songs on the band's 1992 album Adrenalize just prior to his death. The song "White Lightning" on Adrenalize was written about Clark, because his bandmates nicknamed him "White Lightning" for his preference of wearing white clothes on stage.[citation needed]
At the time of his death, Clark was on a six-month leave of absence from Def Leppard.
On January 8, 1991, Clark was found dead on his couch by his girlfriend Janie Dean.[2] The autopsy revealed he had died from an overdose of codeine, valium, morphine and a blood alcohol level of .30, three times the British legal driving limit.[3] There was no evidence of suicidal intent. Daniel Van Alphen, Clark's drinking companion the night before, testified that the two went to the local pub and returned to the guitarist's home at midnight to watch a video.
He was buried at Wisewood Cemetery, Loxley, Sheffield,[4] near the Clark family home. His guitars were sold off by his girlfriend.
Tesla, who opened for Def Leppard on the Hysteria tour, recorded a tribute to Steve Clark on their Psychotic Supper album, called "Song & Emotion (To Our Friend, Steve 'Steamin' Clark)".

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
everytime fedora starts, it (or something else) sets the brightness to the highest level. which is very inconvinience for my eyes.
so i have to re-setting the brightness everytime it started. which is quite annoying...
is there a way we can tell fedora to adjust the screen brightness when it starts? or remember our brightness settings?
Is this problem before or after you log in? What desktop are you using?
the seconds fedora (grub?) boots.
before login.
also when i use console (tty).
after login, i use kde and kde adjust the brightness correctly.
but before login, the brightness is killing my lcd and burning my eyes.
If kde has a setting for it, it probably should have a mechanism to propagate that to the display manager in some way. (GNOME does this by running gnome-power-manager in the display manager's session.)
Assigning to kdebase.
This is being worked on, not sure when it'll land upstream, tentatively marking depending on kde-4.5
rpm -q kdebase-workspace
Well, the setting in PowerDevil is per user, KDM runs as root.
(And I don't think KDM is running PowerDevil at all.)
Also, for grub that would be a bios level brightness setting, done by the hardware. Often hardware will retain the brightness setting last used, but if your hardware doesn't I'm not sure there is much we can do there.
that mostly answer for kdm problem.
how about console?
cant we set a default brightness for console?
oh i missed this one:
rpm -q kdebase-workspace
btw. when i do shutdown/reboot kde seems to reset the brightness to highest level right before the system shutdown/reboot.
also, imho, it's best to set the brightness at init 3 so that we can have confortable environment even when we boot into console.
> btw. when i do shutdown/reboot kde seems to reset the brightness to highest
> level right before the system shutdown/reboot.
Well yes, it doesn't want that user-specific setting to affect other users on the system. Restoring settings on logout is the right thing to do in software designed for (potentially) multi-user systems.
maybe a way root can set a system default for all new users.
especially before user login.
coz, lots of time, the system left without anyone login and that will easily burn out the lcd.
o btw.
many other distro have laptop-mode-tools that very helpful adjusting hdparm, brightness, etc...
This bug has been open a long time. Is this still a problem for KDE users? In Fedora 21, when I change brightness inside GNOME, those changes also affect the login screen and text consoles.
it's feature request which should be done from upstream.

There are millions of Black Walnuts, which are an excellent food source, that go to waste yearly in North America, since people do not know how to process or crack the nuts, due to the strength of the hull and the nut proper. . First it is necessary to remove the hull, then crack the nut to get the meat. Here is my simple method utilized to process this wonderful nut. The pictures are annotated and are self explanatory.

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?IWMKD 19 October 2008 Black Walnut Nutcracker.
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?Squirrel 25 June 2009 Black Walnut and Squirrels.
Black Walnut nuts are extremely tough and the meat is in the four quadrants around the shell. These nuts are very difficult to crack even for humans. I observed that the squirrels simply gnaw the four corners and remove the meat.

www.gasworkstodome.org.uk A participatory arts project commissioned by Stream Arts, this multi media website (images & streamed audio) encouraged local people to explore the history of East Greenwich and the Greenwich Peninsula within living memory (1920's to present day).
Using Drupal as a base, we created a website and set of tools so users with varying degrees of technical know-how are able to upload images and tag/comment on oral history recordings, which allows discrete segments of very long interviews can be instantly accessed and categorised along with images.
Created over a number of months during 2006, this website was developed in collaboration with local residents where ideas on: design, interface and functionality were all driven by a series of evening workshops.

Atlanta Anchor Gathers Racist Muskrat On Live TV For Calling Her The N-Word
By Isha Thorpe
December 6, 2017
Atlanta's CBS46 news anchor Sharon Reed got a racist muskrat named Kathy Rae all the way together after she sent Reed a nasty email calling her the n-word.
The journalist addressed the email while on-air. Apparently, the racist rodent disliked the way Reed was covering Atlanta's mayoral election. So, she emailed the anchor with racial slurs. Further showing her utter ignorance, Rae misspelled the n-word as Niger, which is a country in West Africa.
Rae's email stated: "You need to be fired for the race baiting comment you made tonight. it's o.k for blacks to discuss certain subjects but not whites. really??? you are what I call a N***r not a black person. you are a racist N***r. you are what's wrong with the world [sic]."
While on-camera, Reed clapped back to Rae's message. The anchor said: "I would say to Kathy a couple of things. Number one, you mischaracterize what I said. I didn't say that white people couldn't talk about race. Quite the contrary. We think that race is an authentic discussion to have. It's one we're having tonight because it's one many of you are talking about at home and it's one that's clearly entered the Atlanta mayor's race. And that's why behind the scenes, my colleagues and I, white and black, we decided, hey, let's go for it, right? Because we do try to keep it real here and I think we do a very good job of it."
The poised journalist continued: "So I won't mischaracterize your view either, Kathy Rae. I get it. On December 5th, 2017, you think it's OK to call this journalist a n****r. I don't. I could clap back and say a few things to you but instead I'll let your words, Kathy Rae, speak for themselves. And that'll be the last word."
Watch the moment Reed dragged the racist roach below.

The makers and consumers of fashion have all heard the news.
Illegal immigrants discovered this month at an alleged El Monte sweatshop told authorities that they were forced to cut and sew clothing in slave-like conditions for 69 an hour. Major department stores allegedly stocked garments made there.
The fallout is being felt in the courts; in the state Department of Industrial Relations, which has initiated an investigation into garment manufacturing practices, and in the way we shop for and think about clothes.
A simple denim miniskirt that costs less than $10 to make, for example, might sell for $35 or $19, depending on how and where it is manufactured and sold. An informal survey of shoppers and fashion industry insiders suggests that many would now consider those factors, as well as the treatment of workers, in weighing a purchase or business decision. Here is a sampling of their comments.

How Important is Chemistry in a Relationship?
one girl's story
Let me just say from the begining, it's crucial. CRUCIAL!
I used to think I had no chemistry with my ex-husband, until I met -let's call him John. John is a great guy, nice guy, hard working, funny in a quiet dry sort of way. I dig that. The whole nice guy with naughty jokes thing.
What I'm not into is how he can see me in dirty lingerie and not even let his glance linger. Boy, the night I did that was a big mistake! There I stand all naughty, after hours of bathing, prepping, painting nails, plucking, putting on make up. I mean, I was done up right! I walk in his door.. He sits down on the couch and I tear off the trench coat with this sultry look on my face.
To which he replies "come sit down. Let's watch a movie."
What?!!! "Are you fucking kidding me?" my thoughts race.
Rule number one here men, when it comes to lingerie... You must have some reaction, whether it be staring, stumbling on your words, or tearing it off. There has to be some kind of reaction, otherwise you may never ever get to see that sort of thing from her again!
Rule number two.. Do you really think I came over to watch a movie? Think about it!!
Rule number three.. Do not expect a woman in lingerie to sit around in the middle of winter to do something as mundane as watch a movie with you. And why in the hell would you want to?
Obviously John is not your average guy. He's inexperienced and awkward, when it comes to sex, even somewhat indifferent. I, however, am not. We've been in bed, in the middle of having sex and I've looked into his eyes, and he looks like a deer in the headlights!
You see, John and I were friends before we started dating. Now, how that usually goes is... Boy meets Girl. Boy and Girl becomes friends. There's a spark, and they start dating.
In our case however, in place of "there's a spark" there was Girl knows Guy has a crush on her. Girl is in therapy because she's been dating men that are terribly bad for her, so she gives Guy a chance - following therapist's advice.
John knew all this, by the way.
We dated for a few weeks, and our dates were fantastic. Points for John! Great conversation, and he makes me laugh. Ding ding!! Two more points for John, but like I said no chemistry beyond that.
I finally tell him. There's no chemistry. There's supposed to be a spark. Haven't you heard that saying "Love is friendship on fire"? Before there can be fire, there has to be a spark.
John fights it. He wants to talk about it, as if he can talk his way into some chemistry. Then, he speaks to his Mom and realizes that it doesn't work that way. He gives it two weeks. Doesn't contact me. After the two weeks, especially when I didn't even realize it had been that long, he relents. He says I'm right, and we should remain friends.
Now he's back at it. "I still wanna hang out with you". That's fine, I didn't think much of it. Sure, I'll call him.
Then tonight I get the "friends with benefits?" text. So, I make a joke, and he comes back with "I just want to cuddle". If he were your average guy, that would be a fuckin' lie but he's not. I know he's serious!
What makes this situation even more hilarious is that my girlfriend and I have been joking about that with regards to him. My girlfriend had one of her exs call her at 2am. Now you know that's a booty call. She didn't let him come over, despite his insistence that he just wanted to cuddle. But he's a regular guy, and it was 2am so she knew it was a lie.
"It might be different if I that was actually true" she said. I replied "Call John, he loves to cuddle." Laughter ensues, and this wasn't my first joke about it.
So, friends with benefits. No, because that usually means you are sleeping with your friend, not cuddling them.
I am considering the situation. I have to say I wouldn't mind having someone to watch movies with when I'm here without the kids. I really like to have my hair stroked and fall asleep with my head on a man's lap... but it was so awkward with him!
And what if he wants to sleep over? Damn it! He's slept over before, and it was always uncomfortable for me. He wants to have his arms around me all night, and I can't sleep just thinking it's John laying there. I don't like him that way. If I'm excited about a guy-- I'm all over this kinda situation.
Then I have to wake up in the morning and he's still there! It stinks to start the day with slumped shoulders and a frustrated sigh. "Ah man!" I whine.
Then as I get ready for work, I wonder when he's gonna get up and I practice how I'm going to wake him, politely. "Get up, get out, time to go!" just doesn't seem nice, so I actually practice! "Hey, I've gotta go to work. Time to get up." is about the best I can muster.
When I'm excited about a guy, when there's a spark... I wake up all kinds of giddy, and don't have to practice what to say to him! Kiss him as I go, and ask him to lock up when he leaves.
This situation stinks! I thought I had this taken care of! Now I'm right back to practicing what I'm going to say!
Having to tell one of your friends that you don't like him that way is a very difficult thing. It's brutal! I really don't want to hurt his feelings, so why does he make me keep doing this over and over again?
How important is chemistry in a relationship? It's crucial. CRUCIAL! So, if you don't have it, why keep beating your head against the wall? Just let it go!
Have you ever considered the posibility that these men who 'would rather cuddle' were not straight? But were trying thir hardest to be straight. I know a couple of guys in their 50's who didn't admit to themselves that they were gay well into their 40's. They constantly dated women and their relationships all became platonic. They are not camp guys, both are rugged outdoor types who swear and spit with the best of men! It's just a thought in case you were still cnfused why they didn't rip off your G-Strings with their tongues hanging out. Warren.
(my husband) has mentioned before how talking to other girls is just, different, to talking to me...
(he's said this after we ran back to each other of a "break"...)
I'm glad we have chemistry...! Glad to call him hubby.
so beautifull stor
Wow I wish I had looked up stories like this on chemistry before I married a guy who I had zero chemistry with. He was the perfect guy on paper and I was tired of being jerked around by guys that I had super chemistry with but they didn't treat me right. I started to think that you couldn't have it all, a nice guy and firey chemistry. I ended up being with this guy for 8 years, married for three of them (thankfully no kids). He was an amazing guy we were truly bestfriends, but after about 6 months into the relationship I realized that I really felt no chemistry with him no matter how hard I tried to create it, but we were so perfect in everything else and I felt so safe with him, I convinced myself that chemistry didn't matter. I too had the lingerie moments and his reaction was, "why are you all dressed up like that" Ahhhh not the reaction I was hoping for. He too was indifferent about sex and would rather cuddle. I need FIRE to feel alive and connected to the person I'm with! So my advice too for anyone who is with a great guy but feels no chemstry, trust me if after a month of dating you still don't want to rip their clothes off, you never will. Don't waste your time or his, you'll end up feeling like you have a roommate and eventually leave. On a happy note, since starting my new life at 35, I have found both, an amazing guy with the most firey chemistry I have ever felt with anyone, so you can have it all. :)
I went out with this guy (I am 52, he is 57) for a year. He had many of the attributes I was looking for in a man. Many. But, unfortunately, there was no chemistry for me. He loved me to bits, but, I didn't love him and as I said no chemistry. I told him this after our second date. He suggested I give it time, so, after giving it a lot of thought I told him, OK, I'd give it time, but I made it clear to him that he understood where I stood and that I'd try, and to please take things slow. Once again, remember, he had many of the qualities that I admire in a man. (he was also very needy) The poor guy tried and tried. I should have ended it long ago, but, I guess I was selfish and didn't end it cuz he was company for me and a good buddy. He was very frustrated with my lack of affection toward him, and this resulted in a lot of nasty fights. He also got pretty "weird" at times over it. After ONE YEAR (I knew deep down the whole time that the chemistry wasn't going to happen for me, but because he was so sweet to me and would have died for me, I so wanted it to happen) I finally broke up with him. Even though I didn't love him or lust for him, I was still hurting over the break up because he had been in my life just about every day for a year. Within 48 hours of our breakup, he was in a new relationship. Wow, did that hurt me. I feel now that he never really loved me, that he just loves the idea of being in love. I didn't mention that in the first two weeks of our relationship, even though I had asked him to take it slow, he gave me the keys to his condo and programmed my car so I could get into his underground parking. He was constantly wanting to walk hand in hand, have his arm around me, etc. Yes, he was needy for love, and I guess I was needy for a companion that I thought had potential. I should say that I can get a date or a relationship fairly easily, but I thought this fellow was a really good prospect as I didn't want to repeat past mistakes in my choice of men. Anyway, I ended up really hurt, and it's ironic, because I was so worried about hurting him. Moral of the story..... if the chemistry's not there within a couple of weeks or maybe a month, END IT. Trust me on that. Been there, done it. With chemistry, you can't "fake it 'til you make it".
I have to agree chemistry is crucial though I do wonder if it is something that can grow with the right person.
I have been on both sides of the chemstry thing where for me the chemistry is there but not for her and the other way round.
You can't flick a switch and make it happen but I do still think that if the person is great to be around then maybe things can develop. Its when you wake up and wish it was someone else lying next to you that you know its definitely not right. Good hub.
Chemistry is important. Anyone who says it's not is lying. Sure there are different levels but we all want it to be hot even if it can't be all the time. Just most of the time would be nice.
I am also in same situation. My boyfriend is also bored. I love him but I can't tolerate him or I can say that I don't like his habits. :(
It is indeed, all about the chemistry! That's one of the reasons age is not an issue. People often ask me if I prefer younger men - the reality is, I don't have any preference at all other than that the guy has to ignite some kind of spark! That's it. He could meet every other criterion you have on your 'must haves in a mate' list, but if there ain't no fire, then the only one will you get is when you decide to burn your damn list......
hey, are you dating my boyfiend...?!? ;)
I've been in the same situation where I've put on fancy lingerie and he wants me to watch a movie with him. Boring!!
But I also had a boyfriend who I wasn't initially attracted to. Like you, I thought he was nice, so I gave him a chance. But I didn't even want to see him naked. The thought of it repulsed me at the time, I just didn't feel sexually attracted to him. I even had to turn off the lights the first time he stayed over! Three months later we fell in love, and he ended up being one of the best lovers I've had...So you never know! It is possible for chemistry to grow.

Sports Program
The 2017-18 Califormia Thunder Hoops Basketball Club season is starting up again, for our 7th year running. We have grown every year. Each year we have gotten bigger and better we feel that this year will be our biggest and best year yet.
We are currently forming our teams, we have 5 teams with 42 Thunder student athletes. The ages of our players are age 7 to 17 years old. We will be participating in tournaments in the Central Valley, Southern California and Nevada.
Just a little Thunder history, our club was started in 2010 with at risk youth in mind, that is still our focus and it will continue to be so. Not all kids are fortunate to be able to pay AAU club fees, I set out to create a club that would allow for us to focus on the under privialaged and at risk youth. As a kid, I was blessed to have individuals who cared enough to make it possible for me to at least participate and play sometimes. I was never able to play AAU as a kid for lack of money. I made a promise to myself that if I was ever blessed to be in a position to help young people that I would do my best to do so.
As a high school varsity basketball coach at Chavez this has allowed me to be in a position to work with youth who's families are challeged financially. Cal Thunder Hoops is how I am able to help these youth. It is my goal to not allow money to be the reason a student athlete cannot participate and play.
Our club charges reasonable monthly fees to cover gym time, club insurance and tournaments.
Our club offers student athletes the opportunity to participate in a team sport while building strong and lasting relationships. It is our goal to reach, teach and motivate student athletes to reach there full potential not only on the court but in life as well.
Furthermore, as we compete we understand and teach our athletes to represent themselves, there schools and there families with the utmost in respect and good sportmanship.
Fun and Action
Health through Movement
We have made conditioning a big part of our program here at Ca Thunder Hoops. We realize that in order to play the way we want to play, we have to be mentally and physically in shape. We continuously work to improve our minds and our bodys.

They live on porridge and living from hand to mouth. Their house was old tumble down house that housed seven of her siblings. Stench from the drain made me nauseated.
Mr Chan always throw bottles trought his window and made noise after drinking. After he drunk he will shout and sing and awakens other neighbours. Recently, after Mr Chan get drank he let out his furious by beating his children and breaks all the things and behave like wild animal. All his neighbour dare not to do anything although they felt pity with Mrs Chan and her children.
If his liqour had finish, he will ask his wife for money. Mrs Chan did not gave Mr Chan money. Then, Mr Chan will beats her up until Mr Chan get blue and black on her face. When the quarell broke out their childern started crying and shouting.
Finally Mr Chan vomits becouse he was too drunk and dirties the house. Mr Chan lies down on the floor and snores like a pig. Usually, after Mr Chan was too drunk he will sleep until the next day. Mr Chan face this situation clamness. Poor Mrs Chan, she suffered. She has to clean up the place that Mr Chan vomits and has to clam down her children. She always worried about money. Her neighbour felt sorry of her and and gave her money to buy foor for her children. Mr Chan did not know that his neighbour gave some help to Mrs Chan becouse he sleeps like a log.
Mr Chan and Mrs Chan have pretty daughter. Her name is Rosy. She has fair complexion and her eyes like lapiz lazuli. She is tall and lanky. When he blush she showed a rosy cheek. Her lips rosy like soft petal and she has dimple on her cheeks. Rosy is my classmate. Altought she is poor but she always get flying colours in her examination.
It was a Saturday night fever for Rosy, when she get flying colours in her exam. Usually Rosy when to club, enjoy , meeting with her boyfriend and had some liqour to let her hair down. They went to disco near by and dance untill morning. Her parents do not know that she went out.
At the crack of down, then started to move. Suddenly, someone grabbed Rosy , her boyfriend see red. A fight broke out, the club turned into chaotic situation. Someone hthrew the glass and smashed the glasses. Form far, The siren could be heard, the condition was helter and skelter, Rosy and her boyfriend managed to escape, they felt so relieved bit trhe dispute was not settle.

When Rosy opened her eyes. She felt pain on both of her lower limbs, I call the doctor and the doctor said that they had removed Rosy right knee and some of the bone just above and below that joint. Then they fused Rosy thightbone to the shinbone centrimeters into both bones. As a result, Rosy can no longer bend her right leg becouse she did not have a knee.

The Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority offered its top job Wednesday to a senior official in the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Authority members selected David Gwynn to fill the executive director post after interviewing four finalists. The job will pay at least $60,000 a year.
Gwynn is director of research and development at the New Jersey DOT.
Authority Chairman Phil Reece said Gwynn was selected because of his varied experience.
Gwynn, who said he will decide whether to accept the job by Tuesday, would inherit a hot seat. Homeowners and environmentalists are fighting the authority's planned extension of the East-West Expressway near Dean Road.

Multiple-use forest management is considered by many as a preferable alternative to single-use, generally timber-dominant, management models. In the Congo Basin rainforests, integration of timber and non-timber forest resources plays a key role in the subsistence and market economies of rural communities. This is however mainly occurring in "ordinary" forest lands and not in formally gazetted forest lands. In this paper we briefly explore the major land-uses in the Congo Basin and their actual or potential for multiple-use. We then focus on the most extant production system (industrial logging concessions) and analyze the existing issues and options for managing actively both timber and biodiversity with a special emphasis on wildlife and the role of certification. A few promising but yet 'unfinished' examples do exist in the region and we review these cases to draw lessons and recommendations. We contend however that true multiple-use could only be realized by expanding beyond boundaries of formal management units through new innovative land-use units, allowing a spatial cohabitation of the interests of local people, of conservation proponents and of extractive industries in the same management unit.

The first statement I want to make to all readers is this verse from Matthew 7:1-3
"Don't judge, so that you won't be judged. 2 You'll receive the same judgment you give. Whatever you deal out will be dealt out to you. 3 Why do you see the splinter that's in your brother's or sister's eye, but don't notice the log in your own eye?
Please, as you're reading this, don't bring to mind others who've had abortions or have confided in you that they're considering one. You are not in their shoes. I've written this blog post from the position of someone who has considered an abortion, but did not go through with it. I have three amazing children from my husband. I've also lost to miscarriage more than nine children in total. You have no idea where someone else is coming from, or what their story is, so please read with an open mind.
I will also state that I am a conservative Christian and I believe the Bible to be both infallible and inerrant. It is the Word of God. I've quoted it extensively, in order to share my faith with you and offer you hope. You'll find no judgement here from me.
- I am Pro-Life because God is the Creator of all life. He cares deeply about us. We are never just a bunch of cells to Him.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Jeremiah 1:5
2. I am Pro-Life because all people have meaning and a purpose.
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
1 Corinthians 12:27
3. I am Pro-Life because God commands us not to kill.
Thou shalt not kill.
Exodus 20:13
4. I am Pro-Life because no life is wasted, even the disabled.
Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk."
John 5:8
Jesus can heal the broken, for God's glory. Or He can choose to shine in our weaknesses and bring Himself Glory that way. We may see no physical healing, but we'll see spiritual gifts and spiritual strengths become increasingly apparent in the physically and mentally disabled. God makes no mistakes. He only makes blessings and each baby is one.
On the left is a photo of my handicapped sister, Melissa and I. My sister died at the age of 25, only having the mental capacity of a toddler. She could speak only six words and she had roughly nine major surgeries during the course of her lifetime, enabling her to walk, sit and stand like the rest of us. She was severely handicapped and required copious amounts of care. I'm so blessed to have been her sister. She's been in Heaven now for 12 years and I still miss her. I'm so grateful to my Mother for giving birth to her, keeping her and busting her butt to care for her. It was never easy. I saw how hard it was. I saw the strange looks people gave Melissa and my mom. But I also saw Jesus in my sister.
Melissa loved to hug everyone – strangers included! She had a zeal for life and you could not keep that girl from belting out a loud, hearty laugh when she was happy. (It could bust your ear drums at times, I tell you!) She wasn't racist, had no use for prejudices and was a friend to all who knew her. At her funeral, we were shocked to meet members of the community we'd never met before! It was standing room only, and even then the church was packed. The community all stood up and told story after story about how Melissa had impacted their life.
Melissa couldn't speak many words – just 6, but she loved to sing and talk to everyone she met. My Mom sat her in the front row at church each week (partly because I made us all sit up front 😉 ) and she wasn't ashamed of Melissa. Melissa sang along with every hymn, danced to a few of them, too! She participated in life and loved many, many moments of it.
An OB/GYN may have argued that my Mom should've aborted that baby, given her likeliness for cerebral palsy among other disorders, but my Mom didn't give them a chance. I'm glad she didn't. I love my sister. I wish she were still here. There are so many people she should've met and who should've met her. She was fantastic!
With all this Planned Parenthood business in the news right now, I just wanted to take a moment to put out another perspective to anyone considering abortion. Maybe you've heard your baby has a chance of down syndrome or MS? Maybe something worse is wrong? Hear this: God doesn't make mistakes. He just doesn't. He chose you, sweet, sweet woman to bear that child. He chose you to raise that child. He trusts you to bear that vulnerable baby and raise that vulnerable child. The child that the world wants to revile and hate and make fun of?
He trusts you with their care.
"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
Matthew 25:40
I don't know about you, but I'd say with all certainty that children are included in that statement.
Sweet, sweet Mama. Whether you feel sweet or not, that precious life growing inside of you is from God and abortion is not the only option. In God's eyes, it's no option at all. There is adoption and there is foster care and there is…You. He will equip you to make the choice, but please, dear Mama…abortion cannot be one of them. You are sweet. And you are precious in His sight. So is that baby growing inside of you, no matter how it got there. I love you and I wish I could wrap my arms around you right now. I know you're hurting. Pray with me the prayer below. Know that God is with you and He will show Himself to you. You are not alone.
Prayer for a Mother considering abortion (Pray out loud):
Dear Lord, You are our Heavenly Father and You see and know all things. You see my pain right now. You see right into the deepest places of me. I need Your help. I need Your direction. I need Your peace and Your love. Show Yourself to me and clothe me with dignity and grace. The world is judging me, coming at me faster than a speeding bullet it seems sometimes. Help me, Lord. Help me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. + Ephesians 5:2
In Christ,

Us with my "little" brother in Winnipeg.
We have seen such amazing beauty!!! God's creation is all around us. I could write a book about it, but i don't have much time so I will just leave you with these pictures for now. Right now we are working at a Bible Camp for a few weeks and then we are not quite sure what we are doing. We had originally planned on working at an organic farm but Sam hurt his back and is unable to do any heavy lifting or manual labour for a little while, so we may need to change our plans as most work on the farm requires a strong back! He is doing better, but still needs to take it easy. We are considering going to BC to see the sights since we are already half way there and don't know when we will get a chance to do something like this next, so we might as well do it now!
Anyways, we hope you are all having a great Summer and are missing all our close friends. Thanks for all your prayers!!!

When this photograph was first published in Africa Geographic, BBC Wildlife and later in Paris Match and the Daily Mail it resulted in a flurry of e-mails, phone calls and letters from around the world asking if the image was a fake.
The image became the most talked about of shark photograph ever. The photograph is real, no Photoshop, no digital manipulation, no nothing, in fact it was shot on slide film Fuji Provia 100 using a Nikon F5 Camera and 17-35 mm lens. (Source)

If you own a Medical Marijuana Center in Lakewood, please be aware of potential issues.
Long of the short of it, the Lakewood City Ordinance currently requires you to be a "caregiver" to legally exchange marijuana. They have stated that this is the only way to legally exchange marijuana.
1284 requires you to be a Medical Marijuana Center to legally distribute marijuana for profit.
A patient can't name you as both their MMC and their "caregiver."
1284 caps the number of patients a "caregiver" may help to 5.
Under 1284 a "caregiver" is only suppose to charge for their "care giving" services.
The problems and potential conflicts go on and on and on.
Stay tuned.

How do we get children interested in cooking? The most obvious way is to let them help out, which involves messy fun and generally produces stuff which takes a heroic effort on your part to eat. More rewarding, perhaps, is to wait until they're old enough to play a useful part in cooking. Rose Prince, in Kitchenella, tells of a mother who made her children "work" in the kitchen and who had exacting standards. My mother was similar. We had fun, but I had to learn properly (I remember once spending hours peeling grapes) and if something hadn't quite worked, I would be told; a blancmange "everyone ate out of politeness" stands out in my memory.
Helen Nathan believes that getting children to enjoy baking is the route to getting them interested in cooking as a whole. In her Flossie Crums series, the third of which will be out this summer, she's created a cookery / story book hybrid. The stories are about Flossie, who loves baking, and the fairies who live in her garden. The fairy theme, the cupcakes and cookies make them quite girly (my step-daughter loves them), but the introduction of a slapdash and messy brother character in the second book will no doubt have made them more appealing to boys.
I recently discovered two more outstanding publications which teach in a fun and interesting way. The first is a book born of the website for children's magazine Anorak called Food is Fun. It's a beautifully designed and very well constructed mishmash – a cross between a scrapbook and an old-fashioned annual. It contains activities (word searches, dot-the-dots, carrots to cut out and dress), fun and informative profiles of different fruit and vegetables ("I'm not a maniac, I'm a celeriac!") and recipes based on author Cathy Olmedillas' childhood jottings. The other is an American magazine designed for children, called Ingredient. The latest issue has a "how to" on baking bread, a science piece on yeast, a historical piece about peanuts as well as recipes, activities and quizzes. I would have loved either as a child.
If you have already managed to get your child interested in food, or at least in experimenting, there are two older titles which I think are particularly good. The first is The River Cottage Family Cookbook which I have bought for several people. As well as some very good recipes, there are little projects, such as making butter in a jam jar. The other takes cooking with children to a whole new level. Heston Blumenthal's Family Food is very wordy, but not without reason – it contains serious explanations, tips on what to get children to help with, and thorough recipes. This isn't the book to use if you like to cut corners.
One of the best ways to excite children about cooking is to start from an existing interest. Most children love fiction in some form or another, and there are plenty of books which tie the two together. Some of the best involve anthropomorphised animals – think of Arabella Boxer's Wind in the Willows cookery book or, more recently, the cookery book based on the Brian Jacques' Redwall series. (Some lovely food-related passages from the series are excerpted here by Alison Flood.)
There's pretty much a food tie-in for every taste. Most gore-loving children love Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes or the Shrek Cookbook (think "worm stir-fry, beetle juice ripple and swamp rat kebabs").
One I would have loved as a child is last year's Moomin Cookbook. However, what really excited me were the wonderful descriptions of fully stocked pantries, preserving and baking in North American children's classics, and I would have loved cookery books based on them.
Searching now, I haven't found cookery books for Little Women or Susan Coolidge's Katy Books, but there is an Anne of Green Gables one, and even better, a brilliant Little House Cookbook which MsMarmiteLover (another fan of old fashioned and homely North American food) used as inspiration for a Thanksgiving meal.
Have you had much success getting your children into the kitchen? Have you used any books along the way and if so, which worked, and which didn't?
