Rosemary was sure she knew how to raise her children in a healthy way. She knew to feed them good food, and she knew to work hard so she could feed her five children well. When she could afford it, she would put meat on the table. "Rich children have meat all the time, and none of them are malnourished," she believed.
Like many mothers in the Philippines, Rosemary thought expensive food was nutritious for her children. That's why, as a washerwoman, she would accept as many wash loads as she could. But hand-washing laundry from neighbors in a largely low-income community doesn't yield Rosemary much profit, and often, she found herself barely able to put food on the table, much less the variety that she believed was good for her children.
ChildFund established a "Supervised Neighborhood Play" (SNP) site in her community in 2011, which taught community members about early childhood development — emphasizing nutrition, activities and parenting methods that help infants and toddlers develop healthy cognitive, emotional, social and physical skills. In Rosemary's village, her sister's front porch was the SNP center. She did not need much convincing to enroll her youngest three children.
But her excitement about this opportunity soon turned to shock when she learned that her children were malnourished. All three were underweight, Rosemary discovered at a weight and growth monitoring session.
But Rosemary's anxious questions were answered by the SNP volunteers, who were trained by ChildFund. She learned that she didn't need to attempt to feed her children food that she couldn't afford. In fact, the most nutritious food she could give her children was relatively inexpensive and widely available: moringa leaves, okra, squash, water spinach and string beans. These vegetables easily grow in the Philippines and are the prime ingredients or additives in many simple dishes.
Rosemary was thrilled to have this information.
"I was excited to try the nutritious dishes I learned to prepare at SNP parenting sessions," she says. And instead of buying vegetables at the market, the SNP program helped her start her own backyard vegetable plot by providing her with the seedlings she needed. Meanwhile, her children were also given vitamin supplements to hasten their recovery. Growing her own vegetables helps Rosemary defray food expenses, allowing her to better support her elder two sons in school.
Enrolling her children in home-based ECD services has proved pivotal to Rosemary's family.
"My children are learning, and staying healthy," she says. "I'm excited to see them growing taller."

Youth from five regions of Bolivia met recently for a national conference in La Paz organized by ChildFund, where they tackled some serious topics over three days. For most of the teens, this was their first time in La Paz, a big city with many cultural opportunities.
The main objective of this meeting was for the youth to share experiences about what they had been doing in their civic-minded local clubs, both what worked well and what needed improvement.
During the three days, the teens participated in a variety of activities ranging from discussing the impact of violence, how to instill peace and talking about ways their voices could be heard in their communities, especially in decision-making processes.
For Evert, 15, from the rural region of Cochabamba, a highlight was a discussion of violence and discrimination. "This was so interesting that we continued talking about it even during lunch!"
Duveiza, 15, of Santa Cruz, told us, "I enjoyed sharing with youth from different places, sharing opinions. One thing I like is that all of them love sports and not drugs. I realized that violent behavior doesn't work, and dialogue is the best way."
Together the participants created a logo that represents all ChildFund-supported youth clubs in Bolivia. It will be used in official documents and other promotional materials at a national level.
Of course, the three days were not all about work. Everyone got to explore the city, see a 3D movie, watch a contemporary dance performance in the national theater and participate in dance classes.
For many of the teens, this was their first time doing all of these things.
Best of all, the conference resulted in strong friendships, and of course, they have made plans to meet again.

"I like to come to the center because I want to play and learn. Mostly I like to play," 5-year-old Roni says of the early childhood development (ECD) center he's attended for two years in rural Timor-Leste.
At Roni's age, access to appropriate play, stimulation and social interaction is crucial to his lifelong development and success. At home, his favorite activity is playing with his neighbor. He also helps his mother and father with some simple chores. However, the government of Timor-Leste reports that only one in 10 children have access to pre-primary educational services that help ensure they develop socially, mentally and physically.
To address that challenge, ChildFund helped establish the Chauluturo ECD Center in the rural Lautem District, which Roni attends. For seven years, the center has provided a safe and supportive environment,as well as trained teachers and high-quality learning resources. "In the school, I feel good because I have a lot of friends," says Roni, who wants to be a soldier when he is older.
Chauluturo is a community of about 1,200 people who survive mainly by subsistence farming. It sits about 143 miles from Timor-Leste's capital, Dili, but the village is a five-hour journey by car from Dili because of poor roads and rugged terrain. Due to its isolation, Chauluturo hasn't always had the resources to support an ECD center.
ChildFund currently supports 76 ECD centers throughout the country, putting more than 3,300 children under the age of 5 on the pathway to reaching their full potential. The ECD program, which began in Timor-Leste in 2006, focuses on building awareness of children's developmental needs among parents and center coordinators. Many parents from Chauluturo have received training to help them better understand their roles and responsibilities and how they can contribute to a child-friendly learning environment.
"I know this project will help the community, because before, the children didn't have a center, and they just stayed home," says the volunteer ECD coordinator, Sonya da Silva Ximenes, who receives ongoing training through ChildFund. "I am happy and hopeful about the current project. I learn a lot from the trainer, and I feel that the project is very good quality."

The United Nations declared Aug. 12 as International Youth Day in 1999, so ChildFund is taking this week to focus on challenges that especially affect teens and young adults, as well as celebrate young people who are showing strong leadership in the countries we serve. Today we meet Zoila, a youth who shared her story with Diana on our Communications team in Guatemala.
"Hi, my name is Zoila. I am in the first grade of secondary school, and I'm 15. I am participating in the ChildFund Guatemala project 'I Love Myself, I Take Care of Myself.'
"It is very important for me to learn about the risks we face as adolescents when we start having relationships, as sometimes we don't really realize the consequences of what we do.
"Since I started participating in the project, I see a big difference. I like to help young people, especially other girls like me. At the beginning, they didn't listen to me, but now they are more interested in these topics.
"I advise my sisters and brothers that we have to think to our future. We can do many good things, but sometimes we think of marriage as a first option, but it is not the most important because we are still very young. I am not saying that I will never get married, but it will come at the right time."
Zoila is a young girl with a positive attitude, and she's confident that she will have a bright future. In her community, she plays a very important role, by sharing her knowledge with her peers and also with her family. Community members say that Zoila is a good example.
The "I Love Myself, I Take Care of Myself" project, supported by ChildFund Guatemala, teaches adolescents to be empowered and able to make good decisions about relationships, marriage and parenthood.

The United Nations declared Aug. 12 as International Youth Day in 1999, so ChildFund is taking this week to focus on challenges that especially affect teens and young adults, as well as celebrate young people who are showing strong leadership in the countries we serve.
I am driving through some of the most rural and dilapidated towns in Mississippi. There are hardly any cars on the road; the few towns we pass by seem deserted, almost like ghost towns. This is the delta region, with child poverty rates above 50 percent among the African-American population. I spot a group of young men standing under a tree. My guide waves his hand and declares they're "up to no good." These young men are seen as troublemakers, getting high on drugs, getting young girls pregnant and getting into fights.
My mind flashes back to my own childhood in Pakistan. During long and hot summer afternoons, the only way we could stay outside was to go hang out under a tree. The tree provided shade, some breeze and a trunk to lean against. We would hang on the tree branches or simply sit and talk, moving slowly as the shade of the tree shifted directions with the setting sun.
"Rukhsana!" I can almost hear my mom calling me now. "Come inside, it's time to eat." That is how my playtime under the tree would usually end. I would kick a few rocks to show my annoyance at my mother's call, but I would walk back home.
I wonder who is going to call these boys inside. Is there a mother waiting, a sister, a grandma, a father or someone else keeping the light on for them? Is there a plate of hot food and a warm embrace waiting, or is it a policeman waiting around the corner to arrest them? That's what my guide tells me, that these boys are more likely to go to prison than to college. He goes on to describe for me this "pipeline to prison," an unfortunately popular phrase used to describe this flow of youth into the Mississippi prison system.
My heart fills with sadness. When and how did the shade of the tree lose the safety, fun and comfort attached to it? Boys and young men are cherished in so many cultures around the world, considered the pride of their families, the name carriers for their tribes and the masters of their homes. Why have we given up on them here in Mississippi?
I want to call out to them to come in. I want to open a door for them.

The United Nations declared Aug. 12 as International Youth Day in 1999, so ChildFund is taking this week to focus on challenges that especially affect teens and young adults, as well as celebrate young people who are showing strong leadership in the countries we serve.
Chucho started life with many challenges, growing up in an impoverished community in Michoacan, Mexico. His father died when he was only 2, and his mother passed away from cancer when he was 11. Fortunately, his aunt took him in and he also became more engaged with ChildFund programs.
Today, Chucho, whose given name is Jesús, is 21 years old. He is a dance instructor, gives workshops on environmental education, studies marketing at college and volunteers for environmental causes.
Chucho began his affiliation with ChildFund México at the age of 6. He started by being involved in skills development programs, and as he grew older, he participated in sporting events, celebrations, reading programs and after-school tutoring.
As time passed, Chucho realized that he was changing on the inside. He was less introverted, he was able to speak in public without embarrassment, and he felt more confident.
After completing elementary school, he began practicing oratory, participating in competitions and winning first place several times. "What I wanted the most was to show my family that every effort has good results," he says. Chucho also discovered his passion: dancing.
But life was still complicated, because he had no money to continue studying. At the age of 14 he decided to enter the National Council for Educational Development (CONAFE) and started working as a teacher's aide in his community.
"I worked very hard in order to convince the children to participate in various competitions, to organize contests with other schools, and they always won something," Chucho says. "I wanted to share with them one of the most important things I had learned in ChildFund Mexico: that everything is possible if you work hard for it."
At the age of 15, Chucho received recognition from the council as the top teachers' aide. His ChildFund sponsor, who still supports him today, expressed her pride in him too.
Then one day, Chucho received a proposal to become the youth leader of the local partner organization, Valle Verde, which works with ChildFund México. He accepted without hesitation and began to organize all kinds of events, recognizing that young people need support and motivation.
As he entered high school, Chucho chose to do community service for an organization called Biocinosis, which focuses on environmental education. Another organization, Reforestemos Mexico, invited Chucho to join in reforestation and recycling programs, further building his knowledge.
In 2012, Chucho received the Youth Merit Award of Michoacán. This is an award given to young people who are great leaders in different fields. He received the award from the governor of Michoacán, and Chucho was on the radio and television news.
Clearly, Chucho has the potential to achieve many more goals as an adult.
"All the things I have done and what I am today is thanks to ChildFund Mexico," he says. "They taught me so many things, and they took care of me when my parents died. They are my family. Now I want to continue working with young people so we can improve our community together."

Seveliya, 13, represented Zambia at the Day of the African Child conference this past spring in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (scroll down at the link above to watch her speech). She recently talked to us about her hero book, an autobiographical work that she created at the ChildFund-supported resource center in Kafue, a town in Zambia's Lusaka province. Hero books let children describe the challenges they face and set goals for the future — in a sense, making themselves the heroes of their own lives.
To boost this feeling of self-confidence, other children write supportive comments in the books for their friends. Here is Seveliya's experience, in her own words:
My hero book: That is me, my guide, my dream and my future! It is my discipline. My hero book is all about me, my family, friends, the future.
The resource center at the Kafue Child District Agency shaped my life. It is a place where I share with my peers and do different activities to tackle life's struggles! It is where we come together to know ourselves, fight for our rights and educate our community about children's rights.
The resource center helped me to express myself through the hero book, which helped me to reflect. It shaped my character; before my hero book, I always felt that I am always right, and everyone else is wrong. I fought with family, siblings, friends, just because I thought I am the only one who is right!
But the hero book helped me to accommodate family, friends, siblings and the community. Now I have confidence to say that my dreams will come true. Now I have a plan to be an architect 10 years from now, and 20 years from now I will be having my own business, which will help me open an orphanage and provide support. I will be there for my future!
I know I am tomorrow's leader! It is clear, no more fear.

It's World Breastfeeding Week, and ChildFund joins the World Health Organization and other groups in avidly supporting breastfeeding as a key component of early childhood development programs.
It's a cold morning in Ecuador's mountainous Tungurahua region, where a group of indigenous mothers and, often, fathers meets weekly in the Santa Rosa village community center. This time they've come to talk about an important topic for the healthy development of their infants: breastfeeding.
The ChildFund-trained guide mother shares with the group, which includes about 15 mothers, proven best practices and other information on how breastfeeding can make a world of difference for their babies.
Mothers then break into groups to discuss and reflect on key messages the guide mother shared, including "breast milk is natural and is the best for your baby; there's no other substitute," and "only love can exceed the benefits of breast milk." Mothers also discuss commonly held beliefs and traditions in their village that can become obstacles to exclusive breastfeeding in the child's first six months, as recommended. They talk about the difficulties they face when feeding their babies (the demands of work and managing household chores as well as the needs of other family members) and share ideas for overcoming those challenges.
"During the workshops and sessions we have around breastfeeding, the feedback that we get from mothers is that children are improving, and that is what we want to hear," says Rosario, the guide mother and facilitator. Sometimes the local nurse also comes to these meetings to provide additional support and information for the parents.
Just as it is a focus in this small Ecuadorean community, breastfeeding is a key component of ChildFund's Early Childhood Development programs targeting children from birth to 5 years old in the 30 countries where we work around the world.
"A community support network for mothers is essential," says Magda Palacio, ChildFund's Early Childhood Development adviser in the Americas. "The peer counseling in ChildFund is provided by guide mothers and is a cost-effective and highly productive way to reach a larger number of mothers more frequently, which directly reflects in the survival and health of children," she says.
Peer counseling is the focus of this year's World Breastfeeding Week, promoted by the World Health Organization under the theme: "Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers." For ChildFund and other groups, this week marks another important occasion to highlight the importance of supporting mothers in their efforts to provide their infants with a healthy start in life.
During their peer-counseling sessions, the mothers in Santa Rosa, Ecuador, came up with their own list of breastfeeding benefits:
These benefits are universal for all mothers and their infants. Please help us share this vital information during World Breastfeeding Week.

Titus loves to play soccer, cook with his brother and do math. One day the 12-year-old hopes to be an engineer. Yet, Titus faces some serious challenges. He lives in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya, a tough place to grow up. Most families live in one-room shanties constructed of makeshift materials, and children typically sleep on the floor. Adding to these disadvantages, Titus and his mother are both HIV-positive.
But with support from ChildFund, Titus has found a bit of good fortune in the midst of harsh challenges. He and his mom receive the medications they need to stay healthy, and they also attend a support group for those affected by HIV and AIDS.
Titus and his mother, who is a community health worker and sells vegetables near their home, tested HIV-positive in 2006. His mother was in shock for the first year and didn't take medications she needed to be healthy. Today, though, thanks to the support group, both mother and son take their medicine regularly and have learned about nutrition therapy, as well as receiving water treatment kits and school materials. Titus went to a special camp for children affected by HIV and AIDS last year.
Titus is happy and confident about the future, and he and his parents and brothers talk about HIV openly. "The one thing I love about my family is that we love each other," he says.
Kenya has a serious AIDS epidemic that touches virtually everyone in the country. Although the prevalence of the disease has declined in the past 15 years, in 2011, 1.6 million people — 6.2 percent of the country — were recorded as HIV-positive, according to UNICEF, and 1.1 million children were AIDS orphans.
Children like Titus, including some who don't have the same level of family support, need our help to stay healthy and receive the education and other resources they require for a fulfilling future. For the past two years, ChildFund has implemented a long-term support program for children in Kenya who have been affected by HIV and AIDS.
How You Can Help
We provide health services, educational support and community assistance with a $3.5 million matching grant. To meet its terms, ChildFund must raise $725,491 by Aug. 31. Because of this arrangement, your dollars will go a long way; each one will be matched by $4.35. Numerous children and families in Kenya will benefit from your gift.
So far, 350 children and 200 parents have been tested for HIV and received counseling, and more than 1,000 families have started income-generating work that allows them to afford nutritious food and school materials. More than 70,000 children have received insecticide-treated mosquito nets that help prevent malaria, a disease that is particularly debilitating for those already weak with HIV or AIDS.
We can do so much more with your generous donations. More children like Titus can dream of one day becoming engineers — or teachers or doctors or anything else they want to be.

Anthony Taylor dismissed West Ham striker Carlton Cole and Everton's Darron Gibson during the Toffees' 2-1 win at Upton Park on Saturday but both red cards have since been rescinded following successful appeals.
Allardyce reckons the pool of professional referees is not big enough to cope with the congested fixture schedule over Christmas and New Year and believes tiredness can lead to officials making the wrong call.
"This is a difficult period for referees," he said. "Why do they always seem to make more wrong decisions now? It's probably because they are overworked and they are fatigued.
"The system has to be looked at and in my opinion it's because they are fatigued. Referees are travelling all over the country and out in Europe and have been since the start of the season.
"There's not enough of them. They try their very best to get things consistently right. But it happens every year around this time of year, the controversy.
"We had a couple in our last game and there have been many throughout football over the Christmas period.
"Fatigue is everything in terms of decision making. Once it kicks in you lose the ability to make those decisions correctly."

Is this Spain's weirdest festival yet? Hundreds hurl TURNIPS at man dressed in horned demon mask running through the streets (and nobody really knows why)
- Annual Jarramplas festival held in Piornal, Spain, this weekend
- Celebration sees man in colourful costume and mask get pelted with turnips
- Exact origin of the festival is not known, but is believed to drive out the devil
The Spaniards already boast some of the weirdest festivals in the world, such as the bull running of Pamplona and the world's biggest tomato fight, but this one definitely tops the list.
The annual Jarramplas Festival in Piornal involves hundreds of villagers attacking a man dressed in a devils mask with 15,000 turnips. The best part? No-one really knows why.
A young man from the village is selected to be the 'Jarramplas' - the scape goat - and dresses up in a costume made from colourful strips of fabric, donning a devil-like mask with great horns and nose.
Turnip tradition: People throw turnips at the 'Jarramplas' as he makes his way through the streets beating his drum during the Jarramplas Festival in Piornal, Spain
Strange custom: The bizarre annual holiday sees a male villager dress up as devil-figure Jarramplas and run through the streets of Piornal whilst he is pelted with turnips
Turnip target: The Jarramplas' costume is made from hundreds of colourful strips of fabric and he wears a big mask with horns and a snout as he runs through the village banging a drum
The Jarramplas then enters the streets, banging his drum to call out the villagers who gather in their hundreds with armfuls of turnips.
They chase the Jarramplas around the village, continuously pelting him with the rock-hard root vegetables at every possible chance they get.
It is a centuries long tradition and is celebrated every January on Saint Sebastian Day in the village in Extremadura, western Spain which has just over 1,500 inhabitants.
There are several theories behind the Jarramplas tradition, most point to a connection between the festival and punishing cattle thieves.
Five-a-day: Although the origin of the festival is undetermined, the vegetable pelting symbolise the expulsion of everything bad
Nowhere to run: As is tradition, the crowd has cornered the Jarramplas outside the local church where they furiously throw the rock-hard turnips
Topsy turn-y tradition: Every year hundreds travel to the little village in Extremadura, which has 1,500 inhabitants, to pelt a man in devil costume with big root vegetables
Theory is that the pelting of the Jarramplas with turnips originates in the punishment and expulsion of a cattle thief by American Indians, witnessed by the first conquerors.
Another is that it mirrors the punishment of the cattle-thieving giant Cacus by Hercules in Greek mythology.
However, in modern times, Jarramplas is a devil figure and the turnip throwing symbolise the expulsion of everything bad.
The Jarramplas Festival is not the only odd celebration in Spain - and surprisingly not the only one which involves throwing vegetables.
Lads game: The part-takers in the turnip-throwing is predominantly young men who compete in throwing the most turnips the hardest
Feeding the beast: The village imports 14,000 turnips every year to throw at the Jarramplas
La Tomatina is an annual food fight in Bunol, Valencia which sees thousands of people travel from all over the world to thrown tomatoes at each other.
Last year over 50,000 participants threw more than 150,000 rotten tomatoes on the streets – a tradition which has been going on since 1945.
Bull runs are held across Spain but the most popular one is the annual run in Pamplona, which is broadcast live on television.
About 200-300 people are injured in the Pamplona bull run every year, and 15 people have died since 1910. Most were gored to death by the 18-strong bull heard.

So I found a great deal on a convertible crib ($134) with free shipping and showed my fiance who's response was "I think it's a little early to start buying stuff. And isn't it something we can put on the registry?"
I think he thinks we can register for all of it and doesn't quite realize the sheer amount of big ticket items we're going to need (i.e. our friends aren't all loaded and ready to buy us all our baby furniture on top of all the other stuff, lol)
Granted, we are not financially capable to buy a lot. But part of my thinking was to space out our big purchases so it's not all hitting us at the end.
Is anyone else waiting until they're closer to their due date to buy the big stuff?

My insurance does not have the prescription medication coverage, but my doctor helped me to sign up for a discount with the manufacturer. The cost of 30 day supply with this discount is $80 ($150 without discount). Walgreens refilled my prescription with a generic drug and charged me $145. When I asked, why the price of the drug almost doubled, the pharmacist told me that manufacturer's discount can not be applied to generic drugs. On my question, why my prescription was replaced by a generic without my knowledge, especially, if this causes steep price increase, the pharmacist's answer was
"We have the right to substitute with generics if they available".
After the lengthy argument, I did receive my original prescription and money difference back. Of course, I was made to feel as a time wasting nuisance in the process.
Please be careful and check the pricing when your prescription filled by generics.

Raising a stink over TOMS shoes
By Melody Daskalos, fearless intern [ Thu May 12 2011 9:00 AM ]
So, I bought a pair of TOMS about three months ago, very enthused to be a supporter of the company's One for One campaign: For every pair you buy, another is given to a child in need. Pretty good deal, right? At around $55 for brand-new, high-design shoes, I thought so.
After a few days of breaking my TOMS in, I was hooked. They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever had and I felt good in them. They're no high heels, but they're cute. And the best part about them is knowing that I'm helping someone in need.
But about two months into wearing my TOMS, I started to question the love affair. They started to smell. I wasn't sure if it was my own feet or what, but it was bad. Other shoes that I've worn for a year smelled better. Carrying this kind of stank around, I didn't feel comfortable anymore. So I decided to take a break.
My brother mentioned the other day how he stopped wearing his TOMS, too. He had the same thing happen to him—about two months into wearing the shoes, the foot funk got horrendous. He said they were starting to get sticky inside, too.
The idea of helping someone else out is great. But if they only last for a couple of months, I'm not sure if they're worth it. C'mon, Tom. If a kid's poor, the last thing he's "in need" of are stinky shoes.

Blanchard Mountain
Blanchard Mountain is the southernmost tip of the Chuckanuts near Bellingham. The area surrounding Blanchard Mountain is known as the Blanchard State Forest and is managed as working forest by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
- January 2016 - Action needed to fully fund Blanchard agreement, save Blanchard State Forest from clearcutting!
Where the Cascades touch the sea
Blanchard Mountain, south of Bellingham and some 45 miles from the Canadian border, is the southernmost outpost of the Chuckanut range, the only place in Washington state where the Cascade Mountains connect to the Salish Sea.
The area surrounding Blanchard Mountain is known as the Blanchard State Forest and is managed as working forest by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
The ultimate of green belts, Blanchard State Forest is a beloved and well-used place for recreation, respite, and exploration that separates the increasingly populated Skagit and Whatcom counties. More than 35,000 people visit Blanchard's 4,800 acres each year to ride horses, hang glide, hike, mountain bike and watch birds and other wildlife. Oyster Creek has a native run of salmon and sea run cutthroat trout.
Southernmost outpost of the Chuckanut Mountains, Blanchard Mountain, together with the Lake Whatcom watershed, helps connect the Coast to the Cascades.
Blanchard State Forest features popular hikes (including Oyster Dome and Blanchard Mountain) and mountain bike trails; scenic lakes and streams; salmon, owls and woodpeckers; deer; mushrooms; and territorial views west to the San Juan Islands and east to Mount Baker and the Cascades. Patches of remnant old growth and stately, mature trees remain after nearly three generations of logging.
Blanchard Forest Strategy agreement
Blanchard State Forest is one of many valuable state trust lands–working forests managed by the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for state trust lands beneficiaries. The DNR had planned to clearcut Blanchard, and many of us wanted to protect this cherished area. In 2006, the agency convened a group of diverse interests, including Conservation Northwest and Friends of Blanchard Mountain, to create a management plan for Blanchard's forests that could satisfy the needs of all with interests at stake. The result was the 2008 Blanchard Forest Strategy agreement.
This collaborative agreement recommended that a 1,600 acre core area be protected. This core protects most of the recreational resources such as the top of Blanchard including the Oyster Dome, trails, and lakes. The other two thirds of Blanchard will remain working forest. Meanwhile, to replace the core, the Strategies Group members would seek funding from the legislature to purchase nearby private forestland that is at risk of conversion to residential use. This would increase the size of the Blanchard State Forest, enable the trust beneficiaries to continue receiving revenue, and ensuring timber jobs will be retained.
The Public Land Commissioner accepted the recommendations and the Washington State Legislature showed their support over the course of three legislative sessions by providing $5.5 million of the $12 million in appropriations necessary to fund the replacement land purchases. In 2015 and 2016, Conservation Northwest and our partners on the Blanchard Strategies Group continue to work with the Governor and Legislature to ensure the fiscal needs of the Blanchard Agreement are fulfilled.
A history of protecting Blanchard Forest
A decade ago, the chair of the Mount Baker Group of the Sierra Club, Randy Walcott, took up the cause of protecting Blanchard State Forest and Blanchard Mountain from ongoing logging. In December 1998, he formally petitioned the DNR requesting that Blanchard Mountain be declared a natural resource conservation area. The agency denied the petition, citing loyalties to the trust.
In 2001, Conservation Northwest joined Randy and others to protect Blanchard State Forest. Conservation Northwest's goal was twofold, safeguarding Blanchard in perpetuity as a functioning forest and leading a way to better management of our other valuable state trust lands.
In 2006, to break a long stalemate, the DNR convened a group of diverse interests, including representatives from Conservation Northwest and Friends of Blanchard Mountain, to create a collaborative forest management plan for Blanchard's forests. It was an opportunity for the Board of Natural Resources and DNR staff to work with citizens finding a proactive solution to protect this remarkable mountain and its forested trails and wildlife habitat.
In late 2006 and 2007, this collaboration produced the Blanchard Forest Strategy agreement, protecting 1,600 acres of core, central habitat from logging while allowing continued logging on other parts of the forest under prevailing rules. That heart of Blanchard is 1,300 acres more than the DNR wanted to give up and 1,000 acres less than what conservationists had been fighting for. But the Blanchard agreement made up for that by finding unexpected common ground around the idea of working together to prevent the conversion of working forests to sprawl.
In 2010, Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark announced that the Department of Natural Resources intends to establish a Natural Resource Conservation Area (NRCA) at the core of Blanchard State Forest. NRCA designation protects "outstanding examples of native ecosystems, habitat for endangered, threatened and sensitive plants and animals, and scenic landscapes.
In 2016, the State Legislature has previously supported the Blanchard Agreement with $6.5 million in funding; however, an additional $7.7 million is needed to complete the purchases of core zone replacement lands. If DNR does not receive this funding now, the integrity of the agreement will be gone and the Strategy will no longer be implementable. Years of partnership and the shared vision for the forest will be lost. DNR is committed to implement the Strategy but will not be able to do so without the remaining $7.7 million from the legislature. Please take action today and urge the Governor and state legislators to fully fund the Blanchard Forest Strategy agreement!

About Me
The old CS version used to asked me what is my mission. Indeed a great question. How many of us live with intention, with a clear mission to achieve?
I wished to travel the world & to be a kind nomad photo-reporter, to learn from people, to enrich my self, to be free. In the last 7 seven years I never had a house for more than 3 months - traveling, moving, changing, loving, breathing, meditating, writing and photographing the colors and differences of life in this planet.
Today I just wish to be pure and true, and to make an impact with my work.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Honestly, I really don't know how my life could have been without CS. I have been in so many people's houses & in each one of them I found a world in its own, a brilliant fragment of the wholeness of life, from Africa to China, all the way through Europe and the Middle East.
CS is the beginning of the gift-economy philosophy, the idea that we can prosper and be happy while sharing and giving, instead of being selfish and greedy. So when I temporary "own" a place to host I offered it, and when I am surfing I try to share with people my stories and my enthusiasm, and maybe help someone bring down some of the walls which prevent them to see a shining life landscape.
I am interested in human life. Culture, traditions, languages, rituals. I have a fascination for the ancient cultures that spring from the Middle East. I am really interested in all kind of mysticism, from yogis to sufis, buddhist and shamanic practices to feel the eternal self, the unity the everything, the all-pervasive consciousness, the capacity to master the matter with the mind.

The first one has been an overland hitchhiking no-money journey from the Netherlands to Brazil, using only sustainable energy and crossing the ocean with a sailing boat. The second one has been an overland adventure from Italy to Nepal through the Middle East, reporting people's life from all the countries I have been traveling in.

And you do realize that meditation produces such affects by altering the chemicals in our brains right?
Its just two means to a similar thing. I'm not saying 'we are the chemical interactions in our brains', or any other sort of overtly materialistic/reductionist explanation, but these things certainly are involved in orchestrating our awareness on some level.
You don't really seem to familiar with psychedelics. Check out the dmt-nexus. Most folks combines various practices (most often meditation) with they're psychedelic experiences. And, go figure, its pretty widely accepted that many of the ancients who developed these various practices also used psychedelic plants.
Anonymous Coward 2126195
I can vouch that meditating will not, in any way shape or form, EVER gey you as far as smoking a huge rip of DMT. You might THINK you get close. but if you're still thinking, instead of having a universal/cosmic download from a supernatural insectoid/archon type god, you're nowhere NEAR where you should be.
DMT is produced when you meditate, for sure, but smoking it will get you to places you could NEVER get, even if you were meditating 24/7 for your entire life.
Anonymous Coward 1706996
just reverse what you said and now your right
DMT will give you a cheap source code high and is for the lazy person and the promblem with DMT is it only last 15 mins
meditating correctly so you create your own DMT causing aastral trips is much more powerful and longer lasting then taking a DMT hit
its not recommended to take DMT hits if your serious about meditating or receiving your light Body Dmt is more of a cheap thrill to show you whats possible so yea i disagree your post is assbackwards
assbackwards 4447804
This is a load of subjective bull...
You obviously have very very little experience with dmt calling it a "cheap source code high and is for lazy people"..LMAO
Meditation is NOT like dmt. Meditation can be trippy, sure, but its not like smoking 50mg in one hit of dmt by a LONG shot. They are totally different things.
And the whole dmt vs. meditation thing is stupid anyway..regardless of what route you take YOU ARE CHANGING BRAIN CHEMISTRY. People with a drug bias are just too culturally conditioned and narrow minded to see this. We all consume drugs all the time, whether it be food, or internal neurotransmitters that are further down the metabolic pathways.
One who dabbles into both meditation and psychedelics will get farther than if they'd only dabbled in one or the other like some sort of dogmatic fool
combining both at once is the way to go anyway. I know many who have been meditating for decades who explore psychedelics as well.

The essential argument of the protestors was that those who can't say vagina have no business making legislation about it.
Guess who else is having some trouble with the word vagina? FemFresh, the manufacturers of douche, removed their Facebook page for their product when their childlike euphemisms for vagina offended the very audience they hoped would buy their (TOTALLY UNNECESSARY) product.

Dear Consumer,
We have a of your complaint filed directly with our office or referred to our office regarding Martin Russell and/or Brandon M. Jones doing business as: thediscountdudes.com, thedvdsource.net or selling through eBay auctions. We will be forwarding your complaint to the Spokane Police Department.
The Spokane Police Department arrested Martin Russell and Brandon M. Jones on 12/23/03 after confiscating their computers and equipment and a bank account with a small amount of $ in it. Martin and Jones were charged with Class B Money Laundering and Theft 1.
The file will be worked up by Spokane PD and they will forward it to the Spokane County Prosecutor in the next few months.
Martin Russell, age 20 and Brandon M. Jones age 19 do not have any assets.
It will be almost impossible to get any restitution out of them, but I'm sending your complaint to Spokane PD to have on file for the small possibility of restitution. And that is after the prosecutor is finished
with filing and trying the case.
As of this date, we will close our file on Martin Russell.
Thank You for your patience.

What else can I say? loved it!
If your main activity is curation of a niche area or maybe research, this plugin will save you valuable time and effort.
Let's say you keep an eye on a particular site or feed that's mostly banal or filler - BUT every so often they have a post or guest post that is loaded with highly relevant links or other goodies.
Install Dashboard Feed Widget with the feed for that site - and just scan the latest entries when you're passing through the WP dashboard.
You almost certainly have other tools to monitor feeds - but they may be of needle-in-haystack variety, or overkill.
This plugin can bring focus to JUST the topic you're working on this week, or today; when you're done, change the feed in the Settings.
I use it in conjunction with ClipCache (another very powerful 'Curator's secret tool') and store each batch of 10 links in a ClipCache folder. CC has a 'capture as HTML' option, so you only have to click on the link in CC and zing - you're on the required site, days, months or years later.
The only other features I'd like in DFW would be:
1. Multiple feeds - maybe in a dropdown
2. Some way to reduce the DFW panel size/font size/line spacing - it appears that WP3.8.1 has changed appearance defaults so the DFW panel now seems to take up more space than previously.
(To truncate the panel size a little already, I changed the date settings in the DFW .php file so that only 'Feb 5' appears after the feed titles instead of the default (long) date format.)
3. Option to open a feed from the list in a new tab - would save one more right click in FireFox.
Support has been prompt and very clear - the developer could justifiably ask $10 or $20 for this, so useful it is in the specialised curation context. Try it - I'll bet you keep it.
In summary, one of those specialised, precision tools that can make the info gathering / curation process a pleasure.
Highly recommended.
[No connection with any WP developer including this one.]
This feed widget is very important to my sites. Within the dashboard my customers can see what is going on with feed information at a glance.

Optimization of Single-Sensor Two-State Hot-Wire Anemometer Transmission Bandwidth
Strata Mechanics Research Institute Polish Academy of Sciences / Reymonta 27, 30-59 Kraków, Poland

AbstractHot-wire anemometric measurements of non-isothermal flows require the use of thermal compensation or correction circuitry. One possible solution is a two-state hot-wire anemometer that uses the cyclically changing heating level of a single sensor. The area in which flow velocity and fluid temperature can be measured is limited by the dimensions of the sensor's active element. The system is designed to measure flows characterized by high velocity and temperature gradients, although its transmission bandwidth is very limited. In this study, we propose a method to optimize the two-state hot-wire anemometer transmission bandwidth. The method is based on the use of a specialized constanttemperature system together with variable dynamic parameters. It is also based on a suitable measurement cycle paradigm. Analysis of the method was undertaken using model testing. Our results reveal a possible significant broadening of the two-state hot-wire anemometer's transmission bandwidth.

It looks like posts that do not end in a trailing slash are getting redirected via a 302 instead of a 301. (WHY??).
Is there an easy fic for this?
also, The first few posts on my blog were using the ?p=## style permalinks, then I changed to the keyword-rich permalinks. Is there a way to 301 thse old permalinks to the new pages?

return $string;
I don't understand this code, but it leaves this on my webpage in my excerpts as my read more:

I don't want that, I just want a read more link. I've tried removing the above code from my functions.php and replacing it with what codex is telling me to use on this page:
but nothing is working. Do I have to leave this code there and add something else? Do I have to modify this code in order for it to show a link? Someone help. Not sure even what this code means like I said. Thanks a lot.

Hey all,
My WordPress is hosted on http://seventh-element.com/blogs, yet I would like to have it so I can have a feed of my recent posts on my main page, index.html.
Is there a code that I could use to do that? And if so, can I have it so I can have feeds of say, a certain category in one place on the page, and another category on another?
Get back to me, please =)

we were promised how many weeks we would work, that there was a ton of work in our local area. but the thing where i feel that i was ripped off i had to sit in training and listen to the owner of that company tell all 6 of us who he slept with and had sex with also we spent the better part of the day learning how to count cards. this has nothing to do with learing how to do our jobs but im sure it feed the owners ego. I have asked for my 2000.00 back many times and have got zero response.
with all this said if you the consumer is considering taking a job with automax consider the following, you will not be trained properly, you will have to sit and listen to the owner stroke his sexual ego and last they don't keep the promises that they made in training. They only desire is to collect their fee's. So be carefull

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
