Wow! It's been a crazy ride
Oh my goodness can't believe how long it has been since I have blogged! I can't even begin explain the craziness that was this winter. I will do a more lengthy post at some point soon but the big stuff is that Sam was diagnosed with an eosinophilic colitis again, this winter. He has had tons of other symptoms that we are still trying to work through, and missed the last several weeks of school. We were so blessed to have a wonderful tutor that kept him up to date and he continue on to the third grade. Sophia is now six and is reading so well now! My mom and dad have been so fabulous and have helped us pay for Sophia to take gymnastics. She does phenomenally well and is advancing quickly. Preston will be three the end of August and is doing well too. He is continuing to receive IVIG and we are thrilled to be doing it at our local hospital since march which makes life so much easier than trekking into Boston all the time. Sam switched to subQ infusions of the immunoglobulins this winter due to lots of complications. And little miss Paisley is going to be ONE on August 9th! This year has flown by with her. She had another incident of respiratory arrest, actually several in between thanksgiving and February. We had an apnea monitor and it was alarming multiple times a day. Her last admission to the PICU was in February. At that time they stated that her "ALTE" (apparent life threatening events) were caused by severe reflux. She was put on multiple medications and the reflux had improved greatly. She is currently having worsening symptoms again but we are praying for God's healing and protection over this little darling. My husband and I are continuing to both work outside of the home, he full time, and me part time at the hospital and full time at home.

First Foods
The day little Miss Paisley turned 6 months I baked her some sweet potatoes for her first meal. She had seemed interested in food for a little while but not overly so we hadn't even tried anything yet. I love being able to make something wholesome and nutritious and know that there are no preservatives or chemicals in it. I have found lots of great websites for baby food making, but my absolute favorite is Wholesome Baby. This site goes through absolutely. everything that I had questions about. It talks about each food group, grains, dairy etc. There is discussions about when and how to feed. Allergy info, contamination info, etc etc. If you are looking for a great site, look no further. This first batch of food that I made included sweet potatoes, peas, apples, squash, and plums. And then different combinations with those foods. I love to bake the foods as the foods taste much better in my opinion and the nutrients remain. She loved her first meal. Now if she was just a bit bigger in this high chair it would be perfect.

This week I choose to engage in pink-ribbon slacktivism. I first explored BMW's controversial "The Ultimate Drive" campaign, which promises to donate a dollar to breast cancer research for every mile that you test-drive a BMW. This campaign became a controversy in 2006 when the media scrutinized BMW for selling a product (in this case a car) that knowingly pumps carcinogens into the environment, while appealing to consumers as a company that cares about breast cancer. In this case, it is hard to ignore that BMW has lobbied hard in the past to allow the use of several known carcinogens in gas and car manufacturing. So—here we have a company that allegedly contributes to the environmental risks of developing cancer, while simultaneously promoting a feel-good campaign that aims to stop cancer in its tracks. This inverted logic makes it hard to untangle the motives behind the breast cancer-corporate care nexus, and reminds me of Beck's discussion on the production of invisible risks in a risk society and how networks can both reveal and obscure the connections between production, consumption, and social change (in "The Logic of Wealth Distribution and Risk Distribution"). It also reminds me of Berlant's notion of "slow death" and how we try to ameliorate a situation without changing the underlying problems, i.e. mitigating the proliferation of carcinogens in the environment by changing the way we use cars.
But I do not mean to critique BMW for participating in a campaign that certainly raises awareness and money for an important cause. On a side note, it astounding to consider how much money campaigns like "The Ultimate Drive" collects each year ($800 million in total), and how nearly impossible it is to figure out where this money actually goes. Nevertheless, what I do mean to critique is how BMW's advertising makes you feel like the cure is right down the road. That is, it is in the way companies like BMW market breast cancer awareness through the use of marketing collateral decked out with pink ribbons, pink balloons, pink roses, pink everything. Not only does this lead to the hypervisibility of cancer, but also a political and social aesthetic that conveys a very rosy situation. Known as "Pinkwashing", the use of pink by industries to build good will, sell their product, and cover up their own complicity in the problem ultimately obscures the complexity of the social cause, while capitalizing on hope and obfuscating the connection between cancer and profit. Furthermore, Pinkwashing renders invisible certain forms of suffering, death, grieving and pain in breast cancer's national, illness narrative in exchange for transferring affect to a feeling about a business.
The pink-ribbon movement shares similarities with the Kony 2012 movement in the way that they both mobilize a civic-minded, but ultimately passive ideal of empathy and collective action. While it is certainly a nice gesture to display a pink-ribbon on your car, it is unclear whether such an act is actually helpful or harmful to the broader social goal. In other words, is it ethical to support a political aesthetic that bathes us in positive energies, that has been appropriated by arguably manipulative corporations, that blurs the line between collective passivity and collective passion, that prefers pink femininity over the tough warrior narrative, and that avoids talking about the frustrating and terrifying nature of cancer and cancer research? What does the pink ribbon represent, if not an impasse that makes impossible a more elegiac politics, or a space for grieving and pain in the way we respond to breast cancer as a national wound? The pink ribbon movement also reminds me of Kony 2012 in the way that it is incredibly difficult to totalize complex, political situations and explain issues like breast cancer to the lay public without oversimplifying the problem. Instead, it seems much easier to build an aesthetic movement that is consumer-friendly, smartly branded, and affectively contagious with the potential to go viral. Lastly, the pink ribbon movement also reminds me of TextMob and how "success" can be thought of not in terms of outcomes, but in terms of the communities the movements create. From the sea of pink has emerged a robust and ubiquitous global support community for breast cancer sufferers. From cancer walk-a-thons like Relay for Life to CSR initiatives like "The Ultimate Drive", the support is overwhelming. And it is easy to become a community member. For example, October is national breast cancer awareness month, and this year, the "I like it on the…" campaign went viral on Facebook as people posted provocative statuses to raise awareness about breast cancer. But what does this accomplish in terms of outcomes, besides creating a diffused, low-stakes and potentially receding community of slactivists?

Apprehension is leaving maybe that mommy lady isn't dragging me to a torturous place.
Lily enjoyed the movie, we saw The Princess and the Frog. She told me at one point she was thirsty. I went to get her water. Then she told me she needed a treat. I said she already had treats. Nonnie suggested a hot dog (cause that is what Nonnie's are for.) So I said, hey Lily you want to come with me and get a hot dog. She said umm, no you go, I am busy watching a movie! She has me in stitches sometimes.

Tortour. Is It Justifiable.
The Oxford English dictionary defines torture as " the action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as a punishment or to force them to do or say something, or for the pleasure of the person inflicting the pain."(OED). Under the Geneva conventions, torture is banned under Article 3:1a. In the United Nations Convention Against Torture in which 55 countries signed specifically bans the performance no matter the justification. Finally, in the United States Bill of Rights, under the Eighth Amendment where it clearly prohibits the use of cruel and unusual punishment. So is torture ever justifiable? In order to determine if torture is justifiable, we must determine what we truly mean by "torture". Most notable definitions come from David Sussman and Michael Davis. Both men state that in order to define torture we must first separate it from coercion and manipulation. We must also figure out if such things as sleep and sensory deprivation, as well as prolonged isolation and extended questioning should count as torture(Sussman 2005). They came to the conclusion that the intentional infliction of suffering on a non-consenting and defenseless being is, torture. This definition differs in that all forms of suffering, mental and physical, count as torture, but the party being tortured must A, be defenseless in that s/he is unable to defend or protect him/her self and B, non-consenting in that s/he has no choice but to be there, e.g tied to a chair.(Davis 2005) The U.N convention identifies four reasons for torture: to obtain a confession, to obtain information, to punish and finally to coerce the sufferer or others to act a specific way.(Waldron 2005). So with this we can reason that the point of torture, at least in a general sense, is to break the "will" or their ability to operate autonomously, of the tortured.
With this definition, we can determine on a purely moral stand that since torture intentionally inflicts severe physical suffering for the point of destroying autonomy, it is inherently evil there for morally wrong. But on what scale do we judge it by? Is, for example, murder a more inherently evil act? Since we do not include murder in our definition of torture, how do we determine which is morally worse than the other?
Torture is as we defined earlier, a taking away of the right to autonomy. Murder, on the other hand, is the taking away of the right to life and since there is no person after, the right to autonomy as well. Now taking away the option of an after life; once a person has been murdered, they no longer exists in any physical sense. While, in torture we can assume that after survival, they still exists but not as they did before. There have been many examples of PTSD and a general lack of social capabilities after torture, so the question boils down to rather or not merely existing is preferable to not existing. If we assume that survival is the number one goal of every living creature, taking a life is a more morally wrong action than simple torture because it takes both the autonomy of that person and its life.
When we discuss the ethical justification of torture we can separate it into two groups, One-off acts in emergencies and legalized or institutionalized torture. For the first one, the assumption by most is that there are morally justifiable situations where one-off acts of torture are justifiable in the case of an emergency. Two key proponents of this argument are Bagaric and Clarke(2007:29). They offer a form of the famous ticking bomb scenario using the their utilitarian view that the suffering of a few for the benefit of the many is morally justified. Though to counter that one could argue that the torture of a few innocents can be justified, as long as it provides pleasure for a much larger number sadists(Miller,2011). However, Clarke and Bagaric only want the guilty to be tortured and then again only for the purpose of extracting information....

It was a full and rewarding day. During the day I was glad to have the opportunity to talk with a number of the writers who attended the intensive and I also enjoyed interacting with Pam, Alyssa and all the SCBWI volunteers who made everything run so smoothly. As Pam urged the participants, we need to campaign for more events by the SCBWI and other organizations that feature nonfiction. Clearly there is a strong interest among both writers and readers.

For ladies, learning how to love is easy. Emotional abusers rarely utilize physical force to trample their victims. Animal Play in the event that you really need to try out something different, then animal play may be up your alley.

Nonetheless, in the future, he'll learn how to maintain boundaries and have rational expectations.

The Downside Risk of Femdom
They think and feel differently from the typical guys and it follows that you need to address them differently. While saying it is relatively simple, to walk the talk is much more complicated. You should be the one cracking the whip, never forget that. We're not likely to do anything.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF ROSS TOWNSHIP, APPELLANTv.JOSEPH HARSCH AND JOAN HARSCH, HIS WIFE, APPELLEES
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County in case of Joseph Harsch and Joan Harsch, his wife, v. Board of Commissioners of the Township of Ross, No. SA 1189 of 1980 and in case of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Joseph Harsch and Joan Harsch, his wife, No. SA1190 of 1980.

[ 63 Pa. Commw. Page 401]
This case comes before the Court on appeal by Ross Township of a common pleas court decision reversing the denial of a curative amendment proposal.
Appellees John and Joan Harsch operate a Group Day Care Home, a specific entity licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Public Welfare (DPW) for the day care of more than six but less than twelve children, in the actual home of the adult care-giver(s). The township zoning ordinance conditionally permits family day care homes, providing
[ 63 Pa. Commw. Page 402]
care for no more than six children, in the R-1 residential district where the appellees reside, but the ordinance makes no provision whatsoever for the care of more than six children in a home-like environment.
The Harsches filed two applications for a curative amendment before the Township Board of Commissioners (Board), both of which were refused. Upon appeal of the second adverse decision, the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas reversed the Board without taking any additional evidence.
Where the lower court neither expands nor recreates a record in a zoning appeal, thereby acting in an appellate capacity, our scope of review is limited to a determination of whether the Board abused its discretion or committed an error of law. Horst v. Derry Township Board of Supervisors, 21 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 556, 347 A.2d 507 (1975). That review cannot be made in this instance, since the Board made no findings of fact, and did not issue an opinion to support its denial*fn1 of the curative amendment. See Hess v. Upper Oxford Township, 17 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 399, 332 A.2d 836 (1975). Compounding the problem for this Court is the neglect of the lower tribunal to either remand for such findings, or to exercise the discretion given it under Section 1010 of the Pennsylvania ...

Gap Between Rich And Poor Named 8th Wonder Of The World
PARIS—At a press conference Tuesday, the World Heritage Committee officially recognized the Gap Between Rich and Poor as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," describing the global wealth divide as the "most colossal and enduring of mankind's creations."
"Of all the epic structures the human race has devised, none is more staggering or imposing than the Gap Between Rich and Poor," committee chairman Henri Jean-Baptiste said. "It is a tremendous, millennia-old expanse that fills us with both wonder and humility."
"And thanks to careful maintenance through the ages, this massive relic survives intact, instilling in each new generation a sense of awe," Jean- Baptiste added.
The vast chasm of wealth, which stretches across most of the inhabited world, attracts millions of stunned observers each year, many of whom have found its immensity too overwhelming even to contemplate. By far the largest man-made structure on Earth, it is readily visible from locations as far-flung as Eastern Europe, China, Africa, and Brazil, as well as all 50 U.S. states.

I would say that right now I hate her, but it's the Sabbath and so I'm scaling it back a bit.
My niece invited me to her birthday dinner. She selected the restaurant, as the birthday girl should. It was the Olive Garden. Not my favorite place, but she's 15 and for her it was high living, definitely a step up from Old Country Buffet, her choice in years gone by. My sister began complaining about the service. I thought she was a little unfair. It was Saturday night, the restaurant was packed, I thought the waitress was probably doing the best she could. I said to my niece, who was sitting right beside me and has a good sense of humor, "We should cut her some slack. She's saving her tips to pay for her mother's spleen transplant." My little nephew got all big-eyed and said, "Really?" I assured him I was joking, I don't know the waitress, and I'm pretty sure anyone can live without their spleen, anyway.
My sister, rolling her eyes, said, "As I was saying, before The Gal started yelling about spleens …" Uh-oh. I interrupted her rant with levity. I felt like shouting across the table, ''THAT WAS ME TALKING. THIS IS ME YELLING. NOW YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE." But, because I wanted my niece to have a good 15th birthday, I bit my tongue.
When the check came, I slipped my sister a $20. She just took it as if it was her due. Um, I thought it was nice of me. I was invited, which I thought meant I was their GUEST.
We returned to their house for ice cream and cake. After we sang Happy Birthday and the kids left the room, I took 8 Savings Bonds from my purse. It's November, and every year at this time I give my sister four $50 EE bonds for each of her children. I never committed to doing this, I've never discussed this, but it is pretty frigging nice of me to do. She wordlessly took them and tucked them between the salt and pepper shakers on the kitchen table. I don't expect a party in my honor, but it would be nice if she said "thank you," or at least treated the bonds like what they are -- financial documents, not carryout menus from the local pizza place.
She's the baby of the family. I have always done for her, so I guess I'm in large part responsible for her prodigious sense of entitlement. But she is also 42 years old now, a mother of a teenager and a second grader. I thought that, as she tries to impart values to her kids, she would have matured a bit. I was wrong.
Oh well, I think my niece had a good time. And that is the important thing. Once again, blog, thank for listening to me vent.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 60!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live in the burbs and work in the city (Chicago, the best city in the world). I'm an aunt, a friend and a colleague. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Fine weather brings a run-fest From The Northern Echo
In yesterday's second instalment of Durham County League matches, Evenwood took a fine win at Brandon after the home club set a target of 207-9, Chris Coatsworth leading the successful run chase with 68 as his team won by three wickets from the final ball of the game. Yasim Murtaza was Esh's inspiration as Ushaw Moor were beaten by 38 runs.

Ushaw Moor to play their home games at Maiden Castle
Ushaw Moor finally got their Durham County League season under way last week after two previous washouts, and victory over Brandon demonstrated that their new look side could well be a force to be reckoned with – just as long as they can get some cricket played. But there is a big question mark over just when their home ground will be able to stage matches after the terrible spring weather left it in a dreadful state, and the league executive agreed an innovative and unique short term solution with the Moor granted special one-off dispensation to play their home games at Maiden Castle in Durham over the next few weeks to allow their ground time to recover.
The first of these 'Maiden voyages' should be a humdinger with Crook the first team to visit Moor's home from home.
Ushaw make just one change from last week's line-up, and that is an enforced one with John Southeran damaging his ankle tendons in last week's game. Michael Hayton is called up in his place

Basic Food Safety Precautions
- Wash your hands thoroughly before handling any type of food.
- Rinse the raw food thoroughly before processing and storing it.
- Use clean food processing equipment.
- Always wash the utensils before using them on a different food item to prevent a problem of cross-contamination.
- Use clean storage containers.
- Examine the food carefully and discard any food that has mold or bruises or slime or insects or other problems.
- The shelf life of the food will not be extended forever, but it
can be increased by a few weeks to a few months (or longer depending on
the food item and the preservation method).
The Three Traditional Food Preservation Methods
- In the ground.
- In a root cellar.
- Drying.
In the Ground(Appropriate for Carrots and Radishes in the Fall)
Leave the vegetables in the original ground where they grew during the summer.
This technique works well with carrots and radishes.
Mulch the ground above the vegetables with a thick layer of straw.
However, if the weather has not yet turned cold and you leave radishes in the ground then they will go to seed.
In a Root Cellar(Appropriate for Some Vegetables and Some Fruits)
A root cellar is a cool dry dark place underground where the temperature remains between 40F to 60F (or 4C to 15C).
- The depth of the root cellar below ground will vary between 1 to 3
feet depending on the frost line in the area where you live. The frost
line is how deep the ground freezes in winter.
- Humidity must be controlled.
- Insects and rodents must be kept out.
Apples, peaches, pears, plums, and tomatoes release ethylene gas while in storage and this gas will cause other foods to ripen and spoil more rapidly. Therefore they should be stored by themselves and not with other foods.
Apples: Store apples in crates no more than three apples high per crate. The crates should be stored on a high shelf in the root cellar.
Cabbage: Remove the roots and the exterior leaves. Store upside down one layer high loosely packed in crates. Cover the crate with a tarp or sheet of plastic.
Carrots: Cut off the crown. Rinse thoroughly. Stack upright in a plastic or wood box and cover with newspaper.
Corn, Stowells Heirloom Evergreen White Corn: Before the corn is fully ripe pull up the stalks with the roots still attached and store them upside down inside your root cellar. The corn will continue to ripen over several months. Therefore, you will be able to eat fresh corn-on-the-cob for between three to five more months. That is the reason it is called "evergreen corn." (Note: After the corn has fully ripened, if you will peel back the husks on one ear of corn on three or four different stalks and then allow the corn to dry on the cob you will have "corn seed" to plant in the spring. Twist the corn kernels off the cobs using your hands and discard the small kernels near the end of the ear. Save the bigger corn kernels and plant them to produce another fresh crop of corn.)
Onions: Allow them to dry thoroughly. Then tie them together in small bunches and hang them upside down from a string or a wire. White and yellow onions store well but red onions do not store well.
Pears: Pears are not ripe enough to eat until after they have been stored for at least a few weeks.
Potatoes: You may dig up the potatoes when the green vine above your potatoes dies, or you can leave the potatoes in the ground for a few more weeks. After digging your potatoes allow them to age in a shaded well-ventilated area for about two more weeks. Do not put them in the sun because the sun will turn them green and the green toxin that is created is harmful to pregnant women and nursing women and to babies. Remove any loose dirt clinging to the potatoes but do not wash the potatoes. A very thin layer of dirt will help to greatly extend the shelf life of the potatoes. After two weeks in the shade transfer the potatoes into the root cellar. Store them in a wood crate but not a plastic crate. Cover them with straw. They will stay fresh for up to six months.
Tomatoes: Pick while they are still green and before they are ripe. Wrap each tomato in a piece of paper. They will keep for approximately three months. Before using a tomato, remove it and expose it to some warm air and some light and it will finish ripening.
Drying(Appropriate for Meats, Fruits, and a few Vegetables)
Introduction to Drying:
- The food is placed on a tray or a screen and then dried using a good
source of heat, such as the heat of the sun, or an oven at very low
temperature, or near a wood-burning fireplace. The drying location must
be well ventilated and it should not be in direct sunlight. The
drying time will vary considerably depending on the outdoor temperature
and the humidity in the air at the time of drying. The guidelines
below are rough averages and you will need to check your food every day to determine if it is dry enough.
- Most vegetables cannot be dried because they lose too many nutrients and too much flavor.
- Dry fruit will feel leathery and it will not contain any
moisture pockets. It should feel tough but it should not snap when
- You must store dried foods in a moisture free and air-tight
container such as glass jars, plastic freezer bags, or plastic food
saver containers.
- Store the dried food in a cool dry dark place out of the light between 40F to 60F (or 4C to 15C).
- Dried fruit may be eaten as a snack, or it may be used in a
granola recipe, or it may be re-hydrated by covering it with warm water
for one-hour.
Oven Drying: Start at 175F (80C) for the first 30 minutes to kill any parasites or pathogens in the fruit. Then reduce the oven drying temperature to between 120F to 140F (50C to 60C) for fruits. You must frequently turn and rotate the food while it is drying.
How to Dry Meat:
Trim all the fat off the meat. Then cut the lean meat into strips one-inch wide and 1/4-inch thick. Meat should be dried between 165F to 185F (74C to 85C) to kill all the potentially harmful microorganisms that might be in the meat. But the temperature should not be so hot that it cooks the meat. The objective is to dry the meat at a safe temperature and not cook it. When the meat snaps or cracks when it is bent then it is dry enough. (Note: Do not discard the fat if the fat is fresh. Instead you should render the fat and then use it strategically in your diet.)
How to Dry Vegetables and Fruit:
Vegetables and fruits that are to be used in a recipe can be processed following the instructions below. To eat the dried fruit, put the dried fruit in some boiling water for 1/2 hour or in some warm water for 1 hour.
Apples: Rinse thoroughly and then slice into thin pieces about 1/4-inch thick. Remove the core and the seeds but do not remove the outside peel. Soak the apples in a solution of water and lemon juice before drying. The drying time for thinly sliced apples is about 3 hours. For apples that have been quartered it takes about 2 or 3 days. The apple is dry when it does not feel moist or sticky.
Beans: Most beans, such as kidney beans and pinto beans, do not require any special effort to dry them for future consumption. Pick the bean pod when the beans are fully mature. Leave the beans inside the pods for about two weeks at normal room temperatures to give the beans a chance to harden and to protect them from a multitude of insects. Then remove the beans and discard the pods. The beans will continue to dry at normal room temperatures. (Note: The dried beans may be planted as seed in the spring to produce a fresh crop of beans.) If you would like some ideas on how to cook dried beans then please examine the bean recipes on my web site. Dried beans will remain fresh and easy to cook for at least two years. If you still have some dried beans left over after three years then they will probably require a really long soaking in a water bath and processing inside a pressure cooker to make them soft enough to eat. After four or five years you will probably discover that the dried beans have become too hard to eat and their only use will be add them to your compost pile to produce your own garden fertilizer.
Beets: Rinse thoroughly. Peel the beet and then slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Cook the beet pieces. Then drain the beet pieces and dry until they feel leathery.
Blueberries: Sort out any defective blueberries and any twigs or stems. Thoroughly rinse the good blueberries. Place in a single layer on a screen or tray. They will dry in about 5 or 6 days in a warm location or about 4 hours inside an oven at very low temperature (120F to 140F or 50C to 60C).
Cherries: Rinse thoroughly and then remove the pit. Place on a drying tray in a single layer where the cherries do not touch each other. They will dry in about 4 days outdoors. Or dry in an oven at 140F (60C) for about 6 hours. They should feel leathery and slightly sticky. Do not over-dry the cherries. However, it is better to have them a little too dry than not dry enough because if they aren't dry then mold will develop on the cherries. Store the dried cherries in an airtight container.
Corn, Reid's Heirloom Yellow Dent Corn: After this heirloom yellow corn has fully ripened you have two options:
- You can eat some of the corn fresh, and
- You can pull up some of the stalks with the corn still
attached. Peel back the husks. Hang the corn on their stalks upside
down in a well-ventilated area for four more weeks. Wait until the
kernels are hard and dry. Twist off the full kernels of corn using your
hands. Discard the small kernels near the end of the cob. As you need
it, you may grind the dried corn into corn meal and use it in a corn meal recipe
to make corn bread, hush puppies, nacho chips, taco shells, or corn
batter for corn dogs (you can substitute canned Vienna sausages for the
hot dogs). (Note: The dried corn kernels are also "corn seed" and you
may plant them in the spring to produce another fresh crop of corn.)
Grapes: After the dew has dried off them but before midday you should harvest the grapes with about 3 inches of stem attached. The stem enhances the flavor during the drying process. Rinse thoroughly. Dip in boiling water for 30 seconds to crack the skins. Hang the grapes up by their stems and let them dry naturally in a warm room with no extra heat. They will turn into raisins. They are dry when the center of the raisin contains no moisture. Seedless grapes are best for making raisins.
Onions: Harvest the onions immediately after the tops die and fall over. Rinse thoroughly and then slice into round slices such as for a hamburger, or dice into small cubes. Place on a tray and dry using the heat of the sun. Or dry at 120F (50C) for about 24 hours, stirring the onions every 8 hours.
Peaches: Rinse thoroughly and then slice into quarter sections and remove the stone. Place on a drying tray. Turn the peach quarters over every four hours.
Pears: Rinse thoroughly and then slice into halves. Place on a drying tray and cover with a cloth. Dry using the heat of the sun for about six days. Or cut the fresh pears into quarters and they will dry in about three days. Or dry near a wood stove for about two days.
Peppers (Sweet): Rinse thoroughly and then slice into pieces no more than one-inch wide. Remove the seeds. Allow them to dry slowly on a drying tray.
Potatoes: Rinse thoroughly. The skin may be left on or peeled off. Cut into 1/8-inch thick round slices. Put the sliced potatoes in boiling water for 8 minutes. Then transfer the potatoes to cool water or ice water for 15 minutes. Dry the potatoes with a paper towel or a clean cloth towel. Dry the potatoes using the heat of the sun, or an oven, or a wood-burning fireplace until the potato slices are dry and crisp.
Plums: Rinse thoroughly and then slice into halves and remove the pit. Place on a drying tray and cover with a cloth. Dry using the heat of the sun for about four days.
Spinach: Select clean fresh leaves and do not rinse them. Place them individually on a drying tray in a warm location. The leaf is dry enough when the leaf breaks easily when you bend it. To prepare for eating boil the dried leaves in water.
Strawberries: Rinse thoroughly and then slice into halves. Place the cut side up on a tray and dry using the heat of the sun.
Tomatoes: Plum tomatoes, such as the Roma tomato, dry well. The Beefsteak tomato also dries well. Rinse thoroughly. Dip briefly in boiling water to loosen the skins. Remove the skins. Slice the tomato in half or quarters and remove all the seeds. (Note: Save the seeds and dry them on a piece of paper and then plant the dried seeds the following spring to produce a fresh crop of tomatoes.) Sprinkle some salt on a drying tray and place the tomato halves on the salted tray. Cover and dry in the sun. Turn the tomatoes over every four hours during the day. Bring the tomatoes indoors at night. Store in glass jars when dry. If you wish you may cover the tomatoes in oil inside the jar.
Turnips: Rinse thoroughly and then slice into 1/8-inch thick pieces. Push a thin wire or a string (attached to a needle) through each slice and then hang the slices so the slices cannot touch and dry in a warm area for 10 to 14 days. Then place the turnips on a cookie sheet and heat in a 160F (71C) oven for five minutes. Allow to cool and then store. This method will preserve the turnips for up to five years.
Special Footnote about Food Vacuum Sealers
Vacuum sealing will also significantly extend the shelf life of many foods because you eliminate the oxygen and the humidity that can gradually destroy the food.
If you use vacuum sealed storage bags you will not need to purchase any of the "oxygen absorber packets" because the vacuum sealing process will remove all the oxygen from inside the specially designed bags.
Vacuum sealing is also highly, highly recommended for the long-term preservation of individually wrapped hard candies, such as miniature Tootsie Rolls, Caramels, Peppermints, Spearmint's, etc. Vacuum sealing hard candies will significantly extend their shelf lives and preserve their original natural smell and their original flavor.
A cheap good quality food vacuum sealer will cost about $40 and a two-roll box of vacuum seal bags will cost about $22.
If you buy the 11-inch wide rolls that are 16-feet long then you can cut individuals bags from the roll to the exact length you need.
Therefore there will be very little waste because:
- You won't need to seal a small item inside a large bag, and
- You can seal the foods in the quantities you think you will
need so you can open one bag at a time and the rest of your food will
remain fresh inside its own vacuum sealed bag.

Join Chris Meyer for an in-depth discussion in this video Additional tweaks, part of After Effects CC 2013 New Features.
As it's always the case when After Effects gets updated in addition to bigger features. There is a number of nice, little small features that get added as well. For example, you might have noticed the first time you booted After Effects after intallling this December 2012 relase that you were asked to Migrate your settings. After Effects now has the ability to copy over your settings from previous minor updates minor updates to After Effects. 12.0, 12.1, the December release is called 12.2. You can also not migrate your settings to go ahead and start life again with a clean set of preferences.
But if you bother to set up your preferences, interpretations rules, workspaces, render settings templates, output module templates, composition settings, keyboard shortcuts or user scripts, it's very convenient to have the automatically migrated from your previous version into your new, updated version. Another change they've made has to do with auto save. Auto save now defaults on. A lot of After Effects users, I know not you but other people, don't religiously save their projects while they're working on them. Therefore to help save these people from themselves, Adobe has defaulted automatically saving projects to be on.
The settings aren't too bad. It's every 20 minutes. It's not too obtrusive. If you've not made any changes to your project it doesn't update either. But if you're the type of person who forgets to hit save or doesn't constantly increment your version number, you can now go back to your previous version. Now if you do want to take advantage of auto save, I have to warn you, don't use revert. Revert will go back to the last version you manually saved, not to these auto save projects. You'll need to either open those projects or even better import them into your existing project.
And you'll find then inside the atrifects auto-save folder. And there's the last ccouple versions that's autosaved for me. That said, most power users take control over their own versioning they don't use file, save, they use increment and save. That way you automatically bump up the version number on the end of your file name every time you save your project. So it's good to get into the habit of not hitting command or control S, but instead hitting all those keys: command, option, shift, or control, alt, shift plus S so that you can go back to specific points in time where you were working on your project.
Either way, save often whether you do it automatically or manually. Another nice little feature they've added is the ability to have subfolders when you render. Let me go ahead and add this to the render queue and open up my output to link. You'll now see a new little checkbox for save in subfolder. After Effects will automatically create this folder for you when it goes to render this composition. This is particularly convenient if you're rendering image sequences. How many of us have rendered sequences, and suddenly have to see our project folder, or even a drive folder, full of individual files, when we wanted them neatly saved inside a subfolder.
Well, this will save you from that embarassment. That folders name, defaults to the name of your composition, but you can also rename it yourself. Render frames or whatever you like. Again this is even more important, when your saving image sequences, as opposed to simple Quicktime or AVI movies. Now that said, I need to warn you about a bug related to rendering in After Effects 12.2, that December, 2013 release. Let's open up our output marginal settings. And you may notice that the audio has defaulted to a very low sample rate.
Mainly, the first sample rate available in this list, 8 kilohertz. This particular template would normally default to a higher rate such as, say, 48K. You set it, click okay, you think life's good. But if you go look again you'll find out that it has been reset down to 8K. This is a major bug inside this December release. I would not be surprised if it's fixed by the time you watch this movie. But it's something to be careful for. And it might be a good reason to always keep one of your computers, if you're a multi-computer house On a previous version, just in case there is a bug introduced in one of these new updates.
I'll click OK to get out of here. Now, before you panic, there is a workaround. I'm going to press the tilde key, so that you can see the render queue in more detail. If I go back into the output model settings, set my audio rate correctly, again to 48 kilohertz, click OK, that audio rate actually sticks. It is set to 48K in this output module. And if I were to render, at this moment, it would render with a setting. This only gets reset to the undesired sample rate when you open the output module.
And here, you'll see it's been reset to 8K. So, until we get this bug fixed, remember to set your audio sample rate as the last thing you do in your output module, and then your renders will be fine. This is a good segue to talk about Adobe's websites and blogs. There's a lot of new features inside this release other than what I've covered here. The best place to look at it is on their blog. You'll see that here I've provided a short link to The specific Adobe blog entry that goes over all of these features.
There's a lot more particularly on its ability to create a folder when you render and the ability to create output module templates that include even file pass in them. There's more on the OptiX library. There's more in other small features that have been changed. There's even more on bug fixes. If you want to keep up on the latest bugs, cool new features, comments, etcetera, make sure that you bookmark and regularly visit the After Effects blog. This is currently run by Todd Kopriva, who is really the patron saint of After Effects users.
And he's regularly adding to this list including things such as New features that have happened throughout the previous year, such as the ones covered in this course. Also what you might expect in the future. In general, it's really nice to see that with Creative Cloud, Adobe is indeed regularly updating the software insignificant ways. I know there's been a lot of controversy about whether or not to switch from a paid in full to subscription model. But so far, for those whose business model it fits, it's really been working out.
The September 2013 update brought the new Rigid Mask Tracker, as well as additional ways to scale up footage cleanly, while the highlight of the December 2013 update was the ability to convert parametric shape layers to Bézier paths, and Bézier paths into shape layers. The NAB 2014 update shows off important new integration with Adobe Premiere Pro and Typekit, as well major updates to effects. Smaller yet still important new and enhanced features in each release are also touched on throughout. As always, Chris doesn't just show you where these new features are, but how to apply them to your own projects, along with preferred working practices and potential gotchas.
Note: This course was created and produced by Chris and Trish Meyer. We are honored to host this content in our library.

I was telling someone about the fate of my swiss chard and he shared that he was planting some fruit trees. Got on the topic of sour cherries, they seem to be a rare find in Columbus, OH. He said, we have tree in the back and it is ready… do you want any cherries? Umm…. YES! He even offered me a paper bag and a ladder! So now I am in cherry heaven.
Tart cherries are so great for pie, breads, muffins, jam, sauces, ice cream, wine… and whiskey! Cherry bounce is the first thing I make with these little babies. After picking, these cherries need to be used right away or refrigerated. I pick out the best 40 cherries, wash and de-stem them. I have a wide mouth quart jar ready, cleaned and boiled. Next, I prick each cherry with a toothpick about five times and put the cherries in the jar. I dump ¾ cup of sugar over the cherries and pour rye whiskey on top. I gently turn the jar over once or twice to mix everything but it's not necessary. The jar then goes in a cool, dark place for four months. Every three weeks, I turn the jar. I save the whiskey bottle to rebottle when it's finished. Although last year, I forgot to save the whiskey bottle so I bottled it into small wine bottles and that worked just fine.
Technically my recipe calls for: 6oz sugar (¾ cup), 750 ML rye whiskey, 40 cherries (1 cup). The quart jar doesn't quite fit this recipe. I have about a half of cup of whiskey left and that's ok! I've seen this recipe with more sugar and more cherries, you can adjust to your liking. Or, you can try it with vodka or brandy.

So friends...how did you make out?
I have to say this was the best sale yet for me. It is the best I have done. I was only #7 logging into the site! 7, can you believe it?
I am usually in the thousands and have to wait an hour.
The site had its challenges as always. With that much traffic, I think the company does a pretty good job of giving everyone a chance. I love the virtual waiting room concept.
This time I made my first purchase and then got back in line and that is when the site went down for a bit but honestly, I still did great with three separate purchases, items I wanted and gifts for my mom's birthday!

and because I LOVE white, this top screamed to me! I would love to wear it to the beach on vacation this summer.
This is the Audra Top in Resort White...so beachy...so romantic right?
So this top is more casual and one I see wearing around town, doing errands or even going to the beach for a coverup. It is made up of her Luxletic material which is ideal for loungewear and athletic wear.
It is the UPF 50+ Vero Tunic in Multi Exotic Garden

A new study indicates that the body language of a human can trick a dog and influence its actions. Published in the journal PloS ONE, it deals with the ability of a dog to want to follow to cues projected by humans. The research involved 149 dog owners who were asked to bring their dogs to University of Milan's psychology laboratory.
The head of the study, Sarah Marshall-Pescini, and other colleagues designed a number of experiments that consisted of giving dogs choices between two bowls of food. In some scenarios, one bowl had only one piece of food while the other had six pieces. Other experiments involved dogs having to choose between two bowls with the same quantity of food. In some instances, dogs were allowed to choose which bowl they preferred.
There would also be times when a person would be present before the dog was given the opportunity to choose the bowl. Sometimes, the person would favor one of the bowls by staring at it. Other times, the person would talk to the dog while showing a piece of food from one of the bowls. These interactions of a person between dog and food were varied.
The study showed that in majority of the trials where no human was present, 73% of dogs made the obvious choice of favoring the bowl with more servings. But in scenarios where a person was involved, the dogs would generally pick the bowl favored by the human even if this had the smaller portion of food. The study showed that the most convincing gesture that would influence the dog's decision was the hand to mouth action by the person.
In one situation, dogs favored a smaller plate when a person approached the food, held a piece over her mouth, and then put it down again before leaving. In another scenario, a person did the same thing but she also talked to the dog while holding up the food. In the third situation where the food was held up and placed back in the bowl by utensils behind the curtain which hid the person, the dogs were not more inclined to choose that bowl. This suggested that the dogs took cues from human actions.
According to the researchers, "the current study adds to a small but growing literature showing that social learning is not necessarily always the best strategy and provides an experimental paradigm which may potentially be used to explore when an animal will rely on private vs. social information."

Thank you, Source, for producing this lovely little video. There are two more parts, apparently - I'll try to find them and/or be on the lookout for them as they are released. Very true that this notion of "conceptual photography" is quite contested - although I remain at a loss for why it bothers certain people and practitioners to the extent it does. Nonetheless, Source has done a nice job at picking it apart a bit.
Their editors write that, "The term sometimes refers to 'preconceived' photographs, sometimes
images with a historical pedigree and most often to pictures with a
generalised indebtedness to ideas. In the current issue of Source
three essays suggest different definitions. To complement these
articles we have made three films asking a number of artists, critics
and curators what they think of conceptual photography. In the first
film, critics John Roberts and Lucy Soutter describe the use of
photography in Conceptual Art while John Hilliard talks about his own
involvement in the movement and how those original principles are still
present in the work he makes today."

The Dating Game consists of many levels: The Hunt, The Bait and Hook 'em, The Mating Dance and Guesstimation. Guesstimation is the pinnacle point at which you are seeing someone and wonder if you're serious enough with the person to quit the Dating Game.
It's funny how some relationships work. For something as common and necessary for everyone, the rules of relationships are not universal. From what I've seen and from what I've experienced, most relationships begin with a LOT of mind games and guessing.
The problem is, noone is willing to talk and be honest at that point. They're afraid of what the other person is thinking and they're afraid that what they're thinking may not coincide with what the other person is thinking which would make the whole damn situation awkward. Why do you think there are so many women's magazines that seem to have the answers to decipher "What Men are Thinking" and "How to Let Him Know You Like Him Without Actually Saying It"?
I'm not saying that I'm the most outward person with enough self-confidence to say what I mean and mean what I say. In fact, you could me right up there with the people who do all the guessing and wondering (many friends can attest for this -_-). I'm willing to talk about my feelings to everyone else but the actual person, in fact. However, I do like to preach and live by the philosophy that honesty and communication is the key to avoiding the drama that comes with relationships.
Many problems arise from everyone having different perceptions on what an "exclusive relationship" and "casual dating" is. I've heard of odd ways of people hooking up and remaining in a serious relationship without so much as a word to each other about the matter. I don't know if I can speak for guys, but I personally know girls who will cling on to one sign a guy is interested in dating them as a key sign that they're officially in an exclusive relationship. I myself need a collection of signs plus a verbal agreement that we're exclusive. If there's none of that, I am free agent and noone has to know about the Others. Simple as that. See, I'm technical like that.
However, sometimes mind games and guessing are essential. The drama is what makes life interesting and worth learning more about. Not only do we eventually see the true side of a person, we learn when to avoid them when we 'see the signs'. The Dating Game is merely a means of a learning experience in the form of a game: your emotions are the game pieces that you risk jeopardizing on the board called Life. Sometimes you just don't get the numbers you hope to roll, and at times you may get kicked off the board. But the most important thing is that you go back to Start and try to make it to the End.

Family Fun Night!
The PTO-sponsored Family Fun Night featuring the Students vs. Staff Basketball Game took place February 21 in front of a packed gymnasium! Families were entertained to a great contest in which the students narrowly edged the staff team in a close game. There was great music and halftime dancing and some lucky students won a chance to take a 1/2 court shot and the opportunity to win $100! Thanks to Patton staff members who took part in the evening and to the organizers for a great night.

Long Time...The Drought is Real!!!
We hope that ya'll had a great Christmas and a great New Year. Both of our were fairly quiet here in ATL. We did drive to Warner Robins (about 1 1/2 hours south) on New Year's Day to hang out with Chris' cousins. One of his cousins had a baby on December 11, so we were able to see him for the first time. Chris has now began his 2nd quarter at Portfolio Center. The first day of the quarter, they have to hang the photos that are chosen to be on display on the walls, and he has three hanging which is very exciting. Here's a selection of his work from this year: We went to Lake Lanier in North Georgia this weekend. This is a humongous man made lake that is the only place that Georgia gets its water supply from. However, if any of you are keeping up with the news, we are in a huge drought (because we have a deal with Florida that we release water to them and it never rains here). Lake Lanier is actually at it's lowest level ever. So there's all sorts of watering restrictions and landscapers are loosing business and everybody is freaking out. We really didn't believe it until we went to the lake this weekend, and.....THE DROUGHT IS REAL:

Cait and Chris,

I will have mom go out and take a look. I will make her do everything. She has to get better on the computer.
Talk at you later.

designer Hella Jongerius
Landscape by Danskina is inspired by artists' attempts to render vistas of the natural world in paint.
Designer Hella Jongerius has incorporated different yarns, pile heights, and special edges in the wool to evoke the feeling of a stroke of paint on a canvas.
The rug combines organic expanses with patterned swathes in an abstract simulation of an unfolding terrain. The melange of yarn used to create the rug is spun from natural linen and wool, and tufted into a deep pile by craftsmen in India. This depth allows the melange to float, accentuating its intriguing texture and supreme tactility.

"Hopefully they want to see characters. They don't always go just to watch the football, they'll come to abuse me. I'll get the banter but I'll enjoy that. You don't to have a boring life as a footballer. If you don't get a buzz off that's probably where you fail."
- David Bentley, anticipating his first north London derby
David Bentley gets off on abuse.
I don't have that kind of personality and I must admit, I've always admired people who have. It must take a great deal of self-belief to listen to all those insults and just laugh it off as good fun. Then again, I guess a footballer's wage helps cushion the ego.
Bentley's done the obligatory "I've been a life-long supporter of X" interview, but something about it rings true. Bentley doesn't seem like a guy who would suck up for the sake of sucking up. He sounds like he's really, really looking forward to shoving it up us Bentley-detractors. He wants to show us that he warranted a place in the Arsenal first team when he was younger, and he wants to show us what we've been missing.
It's going to be really strange for all parties. David Bentley was hailed as the next big thing at Arsenal, and I'm sure spent a lot of his teen years anticipating future matches against Spurs. He would've imagined lining up with Henry and Cole, Cesc and Reyes, and being part of a dominant Arsenal side. He would probably have expected to be a first-teamer for England, as well. Back in the early 2000s, all that would've been a distinct possibility.
It's gone a bit pear-shaped since then.
Well done to Bentley for making the England squad, for forging a Premiership career and for signing for a reasonable sized club. He's always had the talent, and he's making the most of it now. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I regret his departure. I wish he'd waited at Arsenal, because he would be a quite handy player to have around. He's probably not as good as Nasri, but less injury-prone than Rosicky and better than Walcott.
Tottenham have a lot of creative players now. Bentley, Giovani dos Santos, Luka Modric, and possibly Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko, give them quite a threatening side. And Ramos is a very good manager who's had six months to observe how English teams play. So it'll be interesting to see how they'll go next year.
