Cotriade - A Fish Stew from Brittany
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...We're ready for Christmas here. The manic rush is over and it's time to let the goodwill of the season envelop us. The tree is up, packages have been sent and our last party of the season is behind us. The remainder of the week belongs to the two of us and I've come to relish this quiet time. There are no deadlines to meet and during this lull, I'll pull recipes from my cortex and revel in the tastes and memories of Christmas past. Many of the dishes I'll be making for us during the holiday come from France. They are simple dishes from port cities or the French countryside and they are designed to satisfy, rather than impress. Haute they're not. Today's recipe is for Cotriade, a simple fish stew from Brittany that's often served during réveillon on Christmas Eve. It is to Brittany what bouillabaisse is to Provence, though it is much easier to make. It was originally made with the fishermen's share of the daily catch and each port seemed to have its own recipe for the stew. It always contained at least one kind of white fish, and while it was fortified with potatoes and herbs, it never contained the shellfish commonly associated with bouillabaisse. It is an uncomplicated dish that is completely dependent on the quality of fish used to make it. It can be delicious and it certainly is easy to make. The stew can be on the table in 30 minutes and it can be scaled up or down to feed two or twenty. I had originally intended to make this for our supper on Christmas Eve, however, the cod in the fish market looked so good that I decided we'd have it today instead. While the stew can certainly be ladled into soup bowls and eaten as is, there is a bit of ritual associated with its service. In a proper Breton kitchen, the fish and potatoes would be transferred to a platter and served with a sprinkling of red wine vinegar and fresh black pepper. The broth would be saved and served as an accompaniment in bowls with large croutons, so nothing would go to waste. The recipe I'm sharing today was developed by Mark Bittman. While I added a diced fennel bulb to my stew, I have not included it in the ingredient list below. Once you have a sense of the recipe, you can add other vegetables as you see fit, but I hope you'll try it his way at least once. This simple nourishing soup is now considered to be a luxury dish and I think it is one you really will enjoy. Here's the recipe.
Cotriade - Brittany Fish Stew...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Mark Bittman
1/2 cup bacon
6 cups fish or chicken stock
2 large onions
2 pounds filets of white fish
1 pound baking potatoes
1 lemon
Salt and pepper
Fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1) In a large, deep saucepan or casserole set over high heat, add minced bacon, roughly chopped onion, potatoes (peeled and cut into small chunks), salt and freshly ground pepper, thyme and stock. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2) Add fish (cut into 1-1/2 to 2-inch chunks); cook, stirring until it cooks through, about 5 minutes. Squeeze lemon over stew; garnish with parsley. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

Our holidays are slowly (very slowly) starting to quiet down. We still run to different homes for the Eve and the day - but already there is a bit more time to savor. While some are wishing for the manic Christmas Eve of yore with the 21 grandkids - they are grown and splintering off to new holiday traditions - and that is how it should be. I savor the idea of bringing Christmas past into the home with the old dishes. And will be doing this. The Italian also would make a fish stew and serve the fish separate from the broth. I love the simplicity. (And will add the fennel bulb) I wish you and the Silver Fox a very Merry Christmas and a joyful holiday weekend.

Before today when you told me what this dish was called (and how wonderfully exotic it is that it from Brittany), this was just fish stew to me. Back home in Newfoundland, my Mom would cook this dish every few weeks, usually with good ole Newfie codfish! Perhaps I'll make this on Xmas Eve!

(We added a new top to this post at 12:40 p.m. ET to round up the latest developments.)
The White House did not insert politics into the process of determining what could be said about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in the days immediately afterward, former CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress this morning, according to lawmakers who were inside closed briefings today.
Petraeus, a retired 4-star Army general, "was adamant there was no politicization of the process, no White House interference or political agenda," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. "He completely debunked that idea."
In particular, lawmakers said, Petraeus offered testimony to support the view that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice did not deliberately mislead anyone.
Emerging from a Senate hearing with Petraeus, Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota said that what he heard from the former CIA director indicates that Rice relied on "unclassified talking points that the entire intelligence community had signed off on" when she spoke — and therefore does not deserve the criticism she's gotten from some Republicans.
Petraeus, the lawmakers said, said that he always believed the attack was a terrorist strike and that the CIA passed that analysis on to other agencies. That conclusion was not included in talking points drafted for Rice before Sept. 16 TV appearances she made, however. Schiff told reporters that Petraeus indicated "there was an interagency process to draft [the talking points], not a political process. ... They came up with the best assessment without compromising classified information or source or methods. So changes were made to protect classified information."
The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, however, said he did not agree with everything Petraeus said today. Republican Rep. Peter King of New York, told reporters that Petraeus testified that he "had told us [shortly after Sept. 11] that this was a terrorist attack or that there were terrorists involved" in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. King said he told Petraeus that he recalls being given the "clear impression" in the days immediately after the attack that "it arose out of a spontaneous demonstration and was not a terrorist attack."
As for the extramarital affair that led to Petraeus's resignation a week ago, lawmakers said it barely came up. "The only thing he did in the beginning of his testimony is ... express deep regret to the committee for the circumstances for his depature," said Rep. Jim Langevin, R-R.I. Petraeus also told lawmakers that the attack in Benghazi and the handling of its aftermath had nothing to do with his resignation.
Petraeus did not cross paths with reporters today. He entered the Capitol through underground tunnels.
Our original post and earlier updates — "Petraeus Facing Questions About Benghazi Attack":
The doors will be closed so the nation won't be able to watch. But one week after his scandal-tinged resignation, former CIA Director David Petraeus is today fielding questions from members of both the House and Senate intelligence committees.
He's due to meet with the House panel this hour and with the senators at 9 a.m. ET.
The extramarital affair that brought down Petraeus is not the primary topic of the day, however.
As NPR's Dina Temple-Raston said on Morning Edition, the lawmakers want to hear from Petraeus about why security was apparently lax at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, where the ambassador and three other Americans were killed on Sept. 11. And they want to know why some Obama administration officials said in the days just after the attack that it might have been inspired by outrage over an anti-Muslim video produced in California, when there was also evidence that the attackers were connected to terrorist groups.
On that point about what administration officials were saying about the attack, CBS News reports it "has obtained the CIA talking points given to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on Sept. 15 regarding the fatal attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, four days earlier. CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan says the talking points, which were also given to members of the House intelligence committee, make no reference to terrorism being a likely factor in the assault, which left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead."
Petraeus, who went to Libya following the attack, will surely be asked about what the CIA knew and what it told administration officials.
We'll watch for news from Petraeus's appearances. But, again, they're going to be behind closed doors. So reports will be somewhat second-hand.
Update at 11:20 a.m. ET. Ambassador Rice Used "Unclassified Talking Points" In Her Post-Attack Comments, Senator Says.
The most-contested point about what the administration said in the days following the Benghazi attack is whether U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was misleading when she talked about the video being the spark. Emerging from the Senate hearing with Petraeus, Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota just told reporters that what he heard supports the view that Rice relied on "unclassified talking points that the entire intelligence community had signed off on" when she spoke — and therefore does not deserve the criticism she's gotten from some Republicans.
Update at 9:35 a.m. ET. Rep. King Says He And Petraeus Disagreed About What Was Said After Attack:
According to the chairman of the House committee, Republican Rep. Peter King of New York, Petraeus testified today that "from the start, he had told us that this was a terrorist attack or that there were terrorists involved" in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. King said he told Petraeus that he recalls being given the "clear impression" in the days immediately after the attack that "it arose out of a spontaneous demonstration and was not a terrorist attack."
Update at 9:10 a.m. ET. First Hearing Is Over:
Intelligence officials now "clearly believe" that the Benghazi attack was not a spontaneous event sparked by the anti-Muslim video, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) just told reporters. He's chairman of the House committee.
Petraeus, King said, was "very professional, very knoweldgeable" during his testimony.

Dark and Stormy Can Be Scary
It was such a hot, sunny day, but now the skies have darkened to bluish-gray. "Get out of the pool!" your Dad calls out. "I think it's going to storm."
Off in the distance, you hear a soft rumble of thunder. Maybe it will pass, you hope. But not this time. Fat raindrops almost sizzle as they hit the hot sidewalk. More rain and wind slashes at the windows. Lightning flashes bright, then BOOM! BANG! In the house, the lights flicker on and off and on again.
Uh-oh, nature is at it again. Loud thunderclaps surprise you and can make you jump. No wonder movies use thunder, lightning, and dark stormy nights when they want to create the mood for the scary parts! It's also no surprise that most kids are scared of thunderstorms at some time in their lives.
Whether you like them or not, you definitely want to be safe inside when one of them blows through your neighborhood. But some kids feel worried and nervous even when they're indoors. If that's you, you might need this 3-step plan for feeling better during a thunderstorm.
- Understand what's happening.
- Know how to stay safe.
- Find your calm.
Kids can tame fears and learn how to get through a thunderstorm more calmly instead of feeling so afraid. This can take time and practice — and sometimes an adult's help. But it also can be just a matter of getting older. Many fears melt away as you grow up. But if you're scared of thunderstorms, you're not alone. Most kids feel this way at some point.
Step 1: Understand What's Happening
Storms show nature at its most amazing — all loud and wet and windy and flashy. But storms aren't magic. Underneath it all, weather and science are happening. It's the combination of water and all that electricity passing through clouds that produces lightning. The electric boom of lightning heats up the atmosphere, causing the noise called thunder.
To learn more about these wonders of nature, talk to your mom and dad or science teacher. Go to the library to find books or DVDs about weather. Some parts of the country have more thunderstorms than others. What's the weather like in your area?
Step 2: Know How to Stay Safe
No matter how much you know about the science of storms, you still need to be inside when one is happening. Even the birds, squirrels, bunnies, and other outdoor creatures pick a safe spot to wait out a storm. Did you ever see birds zipping away to their nests when a storm's coming? They don't want to get all wet and neither do you.
Even more important, you don't want to get struck by lightning. Lightning strikes — where someone gets hurt by lightning — are rare, but it's the reason a lot of kids worry about storms. The good news is that you can learn rules to follow that keep you safe when lightning is flashing:
- Get out of the pool, lake, ocean, or any body of water. Water conducts electricity, meaning that electricity can travel through water.
- If you're outside, seek shelter in a house or building. If there's no house or building, wait out the storm in a car.
- If you're outside and can't get inside, don't stand under or near large objects, like tall trees. Lightning is more likely to hit something tall.
- Plan ahead. Talk with your parents about what to do if you get caught in a storm. Also be aware of the weather forecast when you'll be outdoors, such as on a camping trip. Then you'll be ready with a plan for getting to shelter if a storm blows up.
Step 3: Find Your Calm
Once you're safe inside, what if you're still worried? You can tell a parent about the feelings you're having. Describe what's bothering you. What would make you feel better? You might snuggle up with mom or dad or even a pet. Imagine your dog or cat was the one who was scared. You would probably hold your pet close and talk softly. What could you say? "It's only a storm, Fluffy. It will be over soon."
You might encourage your loveable pet to see the upside of a storm. When you're nice and snug indoors, you have a front-row seat to quite a show. Watch the wind bend the trees around and the leaves swirl through the air. And all that lightning and thunder can be better than fireworks on the Fourth of July.
You also can do some easy math to figure out how far away the lightning strikes are. Watch for the flash, then start counting the seconds that pass until you hear the thunder. Divide that number by 5 and you'll have the approximate distance in miles. This can be helpful because you can follow the progress of the storm as it clears out of your area.
If you'd rather not soak up the noise and commotion, you could escape under your headphones and listen to some music. Or take advantage of inside time to play a board game, read a book, or write down what you're thinking and feeling at that very moment. Maybe you'll decide to draw a picture or write a poem about this storm.
Here Comes the Sun
By the time you do that, you might look outside and notice the skies are brightening. This storm has passed, just like all of them do. Now what? Hey, those puddles look ready to jump in! Go ahead, you're waterproof.
And sometimes the sun comes out right away after a storm. And you know what that means. If you look for it, you just might see that super-splash of color in the sky — a perfect rainbow!

Tyler Perry's Love Thy Neighbor, the new situation comedy by writer and director Tyler Perry is a wonderfully fresh show about a middle class family, and their daily joys, struggles, triumphs, and fumbles. Hattie Mae Love (Patrice Lovely) lives in the simple home that she and one of her husbands bought some time ago. Linda (Kendra C. Johnson) her daughter, splits her time between Hattie's home and the apartment she sometimes shares with her on-again off-again husband, Lionel. Danny (Andre Hall), Linda's son, is his mother's pride and joy. He is young, handsome, smart, and looking for a job. After graduating from college, Danny finds himself on his grandmother Hattie Mae's sofa. Floyd (Palmer Williams, Jr.), the uncle, through his late brother's marriage to Hattie Mae, is an ever-present thorn in the family's side. Like old luggage, they can never seem to get rid of him.
In the first season of this comic tale, Hattie Mae has had enough of grown people living in her house. She puts her foot down and shows the toughest love there is by sending Linda and Danny to the door. Danny moves in with his friend Sam, and Linda eventually helps out down at Hattie Mae's Love Train Diner.
The Love Train is an old locomotive car converted to a diner that serves up all of Hattie Mae's old recipes. It is the neighborhood hang out spot that, along with great food, serves up a whole lot of fun. As Linda and Floyd commit to help Hattie Mae with the family business, blessings abound. Soon the customers multiply, and so do the laughs, the drama, and the love of a very comical family.
With the help of Danny's new roommate Sam (Jonathan Chase), Danny soon lands a job at an internet design firm. Danny proves to be a star there. However living and working with Sam, a 30-year-old who is trapped in his teens, will prove to be more of a nightmare than Danny could ever imagine. As the parties get wilder, the women get crazier, and Danny's young life becomes a humorous tale of dodging fanatical friends, and eccentric family members.
Nevertheless, Danny begins to excel at his new position when the Chicago office sends the beautiful Marianna to take over as boss of the Atlanta office. Marianna quickly falls in love with Danny's work ethic and virtuous character. As a close knit team and family, the young twenty & thirty something's embark on a number of adventures that go along with being young professionals in a contemporary & technical society.
All in all, Tyler Perry's Love Thy Neighbor is a collection of stories that warm the heart, provoke thought, and always serves up a heap of laughs. Through all the changes, there is one constant, and that is the universal language called Love. It's all about love.

How to Integrate BIM Into Small Practices
All of us have a dream home. We all have that desire to dwell in a home that is not only comfortable but also well designed. We want to live in a house where we can get everything we want from rest to recreation. It would certainly be fulfilling to live in a home like that. But how can we get our dream house? What are the steps that we need to take in order to acquire it? Today, we will give you 10 clear steps on what you need to do to reach your dream house. Of course, we have to do something in order to reach our dreams. Dreams come true if you pair that with actions. Hence, here are some steps that will lead to your dream house. It might not be easy but it is possible. But if you refuse to take these steps, you will not be able to get what you wish to have for a home. Read on and start taking steps towards your dream house. It is important that you have a designer for your house. Look for professionals who can help you design your home. Let him know what you want for your dream house and he will be able to help you with that. In choosing a designer, look into his/her credentials and work experiences: The primary source of conflict and melodrama in the building process is budget. Set your number, and then listen. If you have a reputable builder or contractor, trust him or her to tell you what things cost. And don't get stuck on the cost-per-square-foot metric. If you are building or remodeling know what you can afford to spend. Start there, and have your builder and architect walk you through your options and explain how real-time costs are established.
The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with.– THOMAS BODINE
And maybe that land isn't a few acres that's never been trampled on. Maybe it's an existing house that's just old and tired and has suffered some neglect. The house whispers to you that it really does want to shed those avocado colored appliances, that shag carpeting, and those single-pane windows, and you know you're the person to do that. While you might think you can go it alone, assembling a team of tried and true professionals is the better approach. After all, you wouldn't represent yourself in court. So why wouldn't you entrust your single largest investment to an experienced team that won't be learning on your dime? An architect and a builder (if not one and the same) are going to be your most important team members.Find a Good Designer

Playground sets must be safe, fun, and affordable to institutions on a tight budget. Where can you get a new playground for your school? All of the equipment that you see on this page was selected by Hertz Furniture because we believe your students will love it.
The commercial playground equipment in our collection has been designed with a high priority on safety and accessibility. Kids all over will agree that this stuff is serious fun. With ladders, climbing nets, monkey bars, and many other great innovations, our playgrounds provide kids with an exciting, healthy activity.
How can you help kids be more active at recess?
Recess and breaks are much more fun when there is some great equipment to play on. Not all children want to participate in games or sports, but a well-designed playground can offer a wide range of activities so all kids can find something that they want to climb up, slide down or run across. Great climbing equipment and interactive activities can keep children busy with independent or cooperative play.
Recess is more than just play. When children climb, jump around and participate in games they are also developing important social and motor skills. Recess provides an opportunity for students to release their energy in a constructive and fun way, so they will be able to sit in class afterward and pay attention. Better outdoor play equipment facilitates increased focus in the classroom.
When children finally get the chance to run around outside, you want to make sure that they have lots of fun and enticing things to do. Our school playground equipment has a variety of activities and obstacles so everyone can choose something that they enjoy. When children have had enough of one particular thing, they can simply move on to something else. Additionally, if a child sees that something they want to play on is occupied, it will be easy for them to find a fun alternative.
How do you choose school playground equipment?
Depending on the amount of space you have in your play area, budget and how many children you need to occupy at a time, you can choose from our wide selection of kids playgrounds. With swings, monkey bars, step ladders, slides, tunnels and balance beams, young learners will have a blast climbing, sliding and swinging across.
How can you prevent fights on the playground?
Even with lots of fun things to do, many children might gravitate toward the same activity. In order to prevent arguments and disputes on the playground, we even have an arrangement that is optimal for turn taking. With a model that is designed as an obstacle course, children can wait their turns and be encouraged to try a number of different challenges that will help them develop various motor skills. Children can make up their own challenges, time each other or come up with original games as well.
How can I ensure that my playground is the right size for my students?
When choosing school or daycare playground sets, it is important to make sure that your choices are age-appropriate. When equipment is the wrong size, children will require help to use it and are not as safe as they should be. Our school playground selection includes models that are appropriate for early childhood education through early adolescence. With so many choices, you can easily find a number of great options no matter how old your students are. Make sure to check that your selection fits the ages of your students.
How many children can fit on the playground?
An additional concern that should be taken into consideration before any play equipment is purchased is how many students can play at one time. There is nothing more frustrating to a child than getting to recess a few minutes late and realizing that there is no room on the playground. In order to enable all children to play, you want to make sure that your play ground can accommodate as many children as you have outside at once. We have playgrounds of all sizes so you can fit a few students, a whole class, or a number of grades and everyone can play together.
Do you have wheelchair-accessible playgrounds?
Every student in your school or daycare should have equal access to the play ground. Make sure all children can play together for many years with ADA accessible play equipment. Our playground equipment from Kidstuff Play Systems and UltraPlay is built to withstand all kinds of weather. It will function well and look great for the long term so children can enjoy outdoor play for a long time.
Give every child something to look forward to at recess with great playgrounds from Hertz Furniture. Our huge selection of playground equipment will provide years of safe fun for the children in your church, daycare or school.

I've made large tracts of these two Virga books available. If you want to find out what the Virga universe is all about, you can check it out here:
In spring 2005, the Directorate of Land Strategic Concepts of National Defense Canada (that is to say, the army) hired me to write a dramatized future military scenario. The book-length work, Crisis in Zefra, was set in a mythical African city-state, about 20 years in the future, and concerned a group of Canadian peacekeepers who are trying to ready the city for its first democratic vote while fighting an insurgency. The project ran to 27,000 words and was published by the army as a bound paperback book.
If you'd like to read Crisis in Zefra, you can download it in PDF form.
I'll be talking fiction as futurism
Wednesday, Sept. 30, I'll be speaking at the Foresight & Trends conference in Los Angeles. My topic? The same subject on which I wrote my Master's thesis: the use of fictional narratives in foresight studies. This time, though, I'll be getting recursive by reciting several possible "plotlines" that exemplify different aspects of the method. The full agenda description for my talk is:
Acclaimed science fiction writer and futurist Karl Schroeder will describe the plotlines of three possible novels. Each of the stories captures the complex essence of one emerging megatrend. Together, they reduce what might be a long, tedious analysis of demographics and drivers to something vital and easily memorable. The stories are, "Decapitation," about blockchain technology and how Distributed Autonomous Corporations put a company's CEO, CFO, and upper management out of work; "The Lady (almost) Vanishes," about how emerging tech is making it impossible for people to disappear; and in "The Garbage Miners," how a strike by workers who convert trash into feedstock for 3d printers nearly shuts down the country.
So, the talk serves a double purpose--to describe the technique, and to show it in action. I hope you can be there!
My latest "scenario fiction" for the Canadian military is out
Back in 2005, the Directorate of Land Strategic Concepts of National Defense Canada (that is to say, the army) hired me to write a short novel, which they named Crisis in Zefra, about future peacekeeping and the evolution of the military in the 21st century. Zefra did very well; you can learn more about it elsewhere on my site. In 2010, they commissioned a second project.
Crisis in Urlia is now published. You can read it online for free or download the PDF. Where Zefra concentrated on military evolution on the squad level, Urlia is about command-and-control, and includes a vision of a crowdsourced military that some might find downright shocking, as well as side forays into online nations and religions, post-agricultural food supplies, and 3d printed buildings.
These works view the future through a particular lens (that of the military) but include as broad (practically epic, in fact) synopsis as I could craft of all the changes facing humanity and our environment over the next thirty years or so. In terms of the rigour that went into them, they're probably my best science fiction.
My part starts about half an hour in
The video of the IDF2012 Zero-day panel on science fiction prototyping is now viewable online. The whole thing is 86 minutes long, but it's worth it because we cover a lot of ground.
The best quote is near the end, and it belongs to Madeline Ashby, who describes our current selves as being 'like hermit crabs' leaving behind the shells of our discarded technologies as we evolve.
It was great fun, and I'd like to thank Brian, Joe, Harlene and Christina for keeping us organized--and of course, the Intel researchers who actually came up with the real prototypes that we subsequently wrote our stories about.
Last Monday in San Francisco was a blast
Intel's resident futurist, Brian David Johnson, recently commissioned some science fiction stories from myself and others in support of his Tomorrow Project. On Day 0 of the 2012 Intel Developer's Forum, we all sat down for a panel discussion to talk about the new technologies Intel is exploring.
Mark Hachman has a good summary of the day over at ReadWriteWeb. We handed out copies of the books to all 200 or so attending journalists (most of whom had flown in from points around the country and abroad), and did a signing for an enthusiastic crowd afterward. The technologies themselves were being demoed in the room next to our auditorium, and they were spectacular.
My own contribution to this particular anthology was the story "After Science," which brings back my old (circa-year-2000) concept of Thalience, and explores some of the more out-there metaphysical possibilities of current computer science. There was an interesting confluence of ideas in this, since the tech I'd been commissioned to write about just happens to perfectly illustrate some of the key issues being explored by that new stream of philosophy known as Object Oriented Ontology. For instance, in Ian Bogost's new book, Alien Phenomenology: Or, What it's Like to be an Object, he asks the question of whether we can ever know what the 'experiences' of non-human things/beings are. "After Science" suggests some directions to go in experimentally answering that question, by using computing technology to blur the distinctions between subject and object.
Abstruse, maybe, but one of Brian Johnson's points is that within 10 years, we're going to be butting right up against questions like these in our day to day lives... and the people who build the systems that are going to do the, uh, butting, would benefit from knowing ahead of time a little of what they're getting us all into.
The day was an excellent piece of foresight, highlighting both theoretical and experimental approaches to foreseeing/designing the future. The addition of storytelling as an exploratory approach fits both with Johnson's own techniques, and with mine, as my Master's thesis was all about using fiction in foresight.
I hope Intel, and other companies, use this successful Day 0 event as a template for more explorations. We'll all benefit from our industry leaders giving some thought to what world we'll all want to live in, in 10 or 20 years.
I'm a member of the Association of Professional Futurists with my own consultancy, and am also currently Chair of the Canadian node of the Millennium Project, a private/public foresight consultancy active in 50 nations. As well, I am an award-winning author with ten published novels translated into as many languages. I write, give talks, and conduct workshops on numerous topics related to the future, including:

I use Science Fiction to communicate the results of actual futures studies. Some of my recent research relates to how we'll govern ourselves in the future. I've worked with a few clients on this and published some results.
Here are two examples--and you can read the first for free:
The Canadian army commissioned me to write Crisis in Urlia, a fictionalized study of the future of military command-and-control. You can download a PDF of the book here:
For the "optimistic Science Fiction" anthology Hieroglyph, I wrote "Degrees of Freedom," set in Haida Gwaii. "Degrees of Freedom" is about an attempt to develop new governing systems by Canadian First Nations people.
I'm continuing to research this exciting area and would be happy to share my findings.
"Science fiction at its best."
--Kim Stanley Robinson
"Lean and hugely engaging ... and highly recommended."
--Open Letters Monthly, an Arts and Literature Review
(Sun of Suns and Queen of Candesce are combined in Cities of the Air)
"An adventure-filled tale of sword
fights and naval battles... the real fun of this coming-of-age tale includes a
pirate treasure hunt and grand scale naval invasions set in the cold, far
reaches of space. "
—Kirkus Reviews (listed in top 10 SF novels for 2006)
"With Queen of Candesce, [Schroeder] has achieved a clockwork balance of deftly paced adventure and humour, set against an intriguing and unique vision of humanity's far future.
--The Globe and Mail
"[Pirate Sun] is fun in the same league as the best SF ever has had to offer, fully as exciting and full of cool science as work from the golden age of SF, but with characterization and plot layering equal to the scrutiny of critical appraisers."
"...A rollicking good read... fun, bookish, and full of insane air battles"
"A grand flying-pirate-ship-chases-and-escapes-and-meetings-with-monsters adventure, and it ends not with a debate or a seminar but with a gigantic zero-gee battle around Candesce, a climactic unmasking and showdown, just desserts, and other satisfying stuff."

Life has tended to force the individual into certain values. The stresses of existence have tended to fixate his attention to a point where his awareness of himself and his environment has been greatly diminished.
With lowered spiritual awareness come problems, difficulties with others, illness and unhappiness.
The goal of Scientology is to reverse this diminishing awareness and, in that sense, wake the individual up. As one becomes more and more alert, his abilities increase and he is capable of greater understanding and thus better able to handle his life and help others.
Scientology, then, contains solutions to the problems of living. Its end result is increased awareness and spiritual freedom for the individual and rehabilitation of his basic decency, power and ability. It can and does accomplish these ends routinely, daily, all over the world.

What is Healthy Eating?
Eating healthy is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and is something that should be taught at a young age. The following are some general guidelines for helping your adolescent eat healthy. It is important to discuss your adolescent's diet with his or her health care provider before making any dietary changes or placing your adolescent on a diet.
Discuss the following healthy eating recommendations with your adolescent to ensure he or she is following a healthy eating plan:
- Eat three meals a day, with healthy snacks.
- Increase fibre in the diet and decrease the use of salt.
- Drink water. Try to avoid drinks that are high in sugar. Fruit juice can have a lot of calories, so limit your adolescent's intake. Whole fruit is always a better choice.
- Eat balanced meals.
- When cooking for your adolescent, try to bake or broil instead of fry.
- Make sure your adolescent watches (and decreases, if necessary) his or her sugar intake.
- Eat fruit or vegetables for a snack.
- Decrease the use of butter and heavy gravies.
- Eat more chicken and fish. Limit red meat intake, and choose lean cuts when possible.
Making Healthy Food Choices
The MyPlate icon is a guideline to help you and your adolescent eat a healthy diet. MyPlate can help you and your adolescent eat a variety of foods while encouraging the right amount of calories and fat. The USDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have prepared the following food plate to guide parents in selecting foods for children age 2 and older.
The MyPlate icon is divided into 5 food group categories, emphasizing the nutritional intake of the following:
- Grains. Foods that are made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley, or another cereal grain are grain products. Examples include whole wheat, brown rice, and oatmeal.
- Vegetables. Vary your vegetables. Choose a variety of vegetables, including dark green, red, and orange vegetables, legumes (peas and beans), and starchy vegetables.
- Fruits. Any fruit or 100% fruit juice counts as part of the fruit group. Fruits may be fresh, canned, frozen or dried, and may be whole, cut or pureed.
- Dairy. Milk products and many foods made from milk are considered part of this food group. Focus on fat-free or low-fat products, as well as those that are high in calcium.
- Protein. Go lean on protein. Choose low-fat or lean meats and poultry. Vary your protein routine — choose more fish, nuts, seeds, peas and beans.
- Oils are not a food group, yet some, such as nut oils, contain essential nutrients and can be included in the diet. Others, such as animal fats, are solid and should be avoided.
Note that the MyPlate plan is designed for people older than age two who do not have chronic health conditions. Exercise and everyday physical activity should also be included with a healthy dietary plan.
Nutrition and Activity Tips
- Try to control when and where your child eats by providing regular daily meal times with social interaction and demonstration of healthy eating behaviours.
- Involve children in the selection and preparation of foods and teach them to make healthy choices by providing opportunities to select foods based on their nutritional value.
- When it comes to weight control, calories do count. Controlling portion sizes and eating non-processed foods helps limit calorie intake and increase nutrients.
- Parents are encouraged to provide recommended serving sizes for children.
- Parents are encouraged to limit children's video, television watching, and computer use to less than two hours daily and replace the sedentary activities with activities that require more movement.
- Children and adolescents need at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most days for maintenance of good health and fitness and for healthy weight during growth.
- To prevent dehydration, encourage children to drink fluid regularly during physical activity and drink several glasses of water or other fluid after the physical activity is completed.
- Always talk with your adolescent's health care provider regarding his or her healthy diet and exercise requirements.
Healthy Eating during Adolescence
Healthy eating during adolescence is important as body changes during this time affect an individual's nutritional and dietary needs. Adolescents are becoming more independent and making many food decisions on their own. Many adolescents experience a growth spurt and an increase in appetite and need healthy foods to meet their growth needs. Adolescents tend to eat more meals away from home than younger children. They are also heavily influenced by their peers. Meal convenience is important to many adolescents and they may be eating too much of the wrong types of food, like soft drinks, fast-food or processed foods.
Also, a common concern of many adolescents is dieting. Girls may feel pressure from peers to be thin and to limit what they eat. Both boys and girls may diet to "make weight" for a particular sporting or social event.
The following are some helpful considerations as you prepare meals for your adolescent:
- Arrange for teens to find out about nutrition for themselves by providing teen-oriented magazines or books with food articles and by encouraging them and supporting their interest in health, cooking or nutrition.
- Take their suggestions, when possible, regarding foods to prepare at home.
- Experiment with foods outside your own culture.
- Have several nutritious snack foods readily available. Often, teenagers will eat whatever is convenient.
- If there are foods that you do not want your teens to eat, avoid bringing them into the home.

The Wildlife Shrub category could easily be expanded to include just about any shrub known to man. Nature Hills created this category in order to promote plants that enhance the quality of life. In some way, all shrubs contribute to natures ecosystem. This plant category attracts wildlife that we visually enjoy, such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Planting and growing fruiting shrubs, such as blueberries, elderberries, and viburnums, will allow you the pleasure of observing birds as they feed, especially songbirds.
Evergreen and dense shrubs provide cover for many of earth's creatures. Abelias and butterfly bushes attract both the human eye and smaller creatures like butterflies and skittish hummingbirds. The American Cranberry bush will supply cover and food to a variety of songbirds. Dragonflies, bees, and deer use many of these wildlife shrubs as a substantial part of their diets. Wildlife shrubs enhance landscapes with their beauty and utility. Keep a landscape 'busy' and beautiful with the Nature Hills offerings of wildlife shrubs!

The White House has "high confidence" that the Syrian regime is using chemical weapons against rebel forces, and the U.S. is prepared to offer military assistance to the opposition, a senior administration official said Thursday.
Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said that an estimated 100 to 150 Syrians have been killed in attacks using sarin gas, although the figure "is likely incomplete."
"Following a deliberative review, our intelligence community assesses that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin, on a small scale against the opposition multiple times in the last year," Rhodes said in a statement. "Our intelligence community has high confidence in that assessment given multiple, independent streams of information."
In a conference call with reporters, Rhodes said the action by the regime of President Bashar Assad "violates international norms and crosses red lines that have existed in the international community for decades."
President Obama had made a decision to provide more assistance to the Syrian opposition — including military support — but Rhodes said, "We are going to make decisions about further actions on our own timeline."
He did not give details of the types of support other than to mention the possibility of providing communications equipment and medical equipment with the aim of "strengthening the effectiveness of the [opposition Supreme Military Council] on the ground."
"Suffice to say, this is going to be different in scope and scale than what we have provided before," he said.
"We are working with allies to present a credible, evidentiary case to share with the international community and the public," Rhodes said. "We request that the U.N. mission include these incidents in its ongoing investigation and report, as appropriate, on its findings."
In April, President Obama said that the U.S. had physiological evidence that sarin nerve gas had been used in Syria.
The New York Times reports that senior State Department officials "have been pushing for an aggressive military response, including airstrikes to hit the primary landing strips in Syria that the government uses to launch chemical weapons attacks, ferry troops around the country, and receive shipments of materiel from Iran."
Arizona Sen. John McCain, speaking on the Senate floor Thursday, said that he believes the decision to provide military support to the Syrian opposition "is not enough."
"I applaud the president's decision, and I appreciate it," McCain said. "But the president of the United States ought to understand that just supplying weapons is not going to change the equation on the ground — the balance of power."
"Syrian butchers have used chemical weapons, which we all know is a red line," McCain said, reiterating his call for imposing a no-fly zone over Syria and for airstrikes to "take out Assad's air assets."
Rhodes said the White House has made no decision on a no-fly zone, which he said would entail "huge costs" and be difficult to implement. He said there's also no guarantee that it would substantively change the situation on the ground.
Speaking on Tuesday at a private session in New York with McCain, former President Bill Clinton aligned himself with the Arizona senator.
"Sometimes it's best to get caught trying, as long as you don't over-commit," Clinton said.
"Some people say, 'OK, see what a big mess this is? Stay out!' " he added. "I think that's a big mistake."
