Welcome to Writing at the Table! A blog about navigating the sticky (sometimes literally) terrain of mothering and writing.
Who I am and what I've done
My name is Dana Schwartz and I'm a writer, reader, feminist, and mother.
A brief history
After graduating college with a BA in English Literature, I began my professional life working in book publishing, including St. Martin's Press, Bookreporter.com, and HarperCollins Children's Books. Briefly, I worked at MTV Networks, editing and managing their internal employee magazine, before leaving to freelance and pursue a Master's in Fine Arts at Fairleigh Dickinson University. During this time I also became a certified self-defense instructor, teaching in many private schools and organizations in the tri-state area.
My childhood dream
I've wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember, probably soon after I became a reader. My parents used to let me read at the dinner table, a gesture I used to take for granted, and now realize this was one of their many gifts. I'm so fortunate that they not only encouraged my love of reading, but also my desire to become a writer.
My mom died years ago, but I know she was proud of my passion for storytelling, and wanted me to achieve my dream of publishing. Just weeks after her death, I received news about my first publication – a short story in a literary journal. Since then I've been published in other literary journals and anthologies, as well as online. I also performed an essay inspired by her at Listen to Your Mother in 2015, and another inspired by my daughter in 2017.
These days I still read at the table whenever I can, and write at my desk – an old wooden table. Some habits you don't break.
The Journey (also, how to write with kids)
I haven't always been a writing mom. After I had my first child in 2008, I stopped. Not surprising since becoming a mother is all-consuming, but after a year went by I struggled to return to the page. I felt too tired, too overwhelmed. As time went by, I began to wonder something else, something terrible: maybe I wasn't a writer after all.
The longer I went without, the harder it was to return. I sat on the shore of my life and watched my boat drift away.
I realize now I was scared of failing. So I quit, thinking it would hurt less. But I was wrong. It was worse. Not writing made me brittle, angry, and short-fused. I became a miserable person, partner, and mother.
For a while I didn't know how to fix myself, how to find happiness and peace amid the chaos and monotony of motherhood. I felt guilty for not enjoying the moment more. After my daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease at age three, I started a blog called celiac kiddo. It helped to write about our struggle and our gluten free journey – it helped to write. But I still hadn't returned to my fiction roots.
Then one day, soon after my second child turned one, I started a story that had long simmered inside me. And for the first time since becoming a mom, I didn't stop. I set aside time, I hired a babysitter. I made writing a priority.
Writing is a commitment, whether you have a family or not. There are days when I feel too tired, too brain drained to open my computer. Some days I let my boat drift away. But I try not to let it get too far. Nowadays I write whenever I can, as often as I can.

text: Share: January 2, 2011 Environmental Policy, Fossil Fuels, Hydraulic Fracturing On Dec. 11, in the final weeks of his governorship, David Paterson vetoed a six-month moratorium on hydraulic fracturing in New York state. In lieu of the bill, Paterson enacted an Executive Order that allows vertical hydraulic fracturing to continue, but defers permitting on high-volume, horizontal wells until July 1, 2011.The future of natural gas wells in our state lies with the horizontal drilling method.Now, in the face of heavy lobbying from the gas industry, it's up to our new governor, Andrew Cuomo, to keep horizontal hydraulic fracturing at bay until the environmental effects of the process are clearly understood.The large-scale drilling being proposed in the Southern Tier would be transformative; gas wells would tap into the Marcellus Shale Formation, one of the largest natural gas fields in North America. If projections are correct, fortunes would be made and U.S.-generated natural gas supplies would be abundant. But drilling of the magnitude being proposed is unprecedented for the region. And it could have long-term, negative effects on freshwater resources.Presently, the environmental science on horizontal hydraulic-fracture drilling impacts is incomplete. There is too much at stake to act on incomplete information. For this executive order to be more than symbolic, the state must invest in the sound science needed to inform the policy process.Hydraulic-fracture drilling involves injecting vast quantities of water mixed with chemicals to fracture the rock containing natural gas, allowing the gas to flow out. To date, corporations have been reluctant to divulge the exact ingredients in fracking fluid. But, scientific analyses have revealed benzene and other carcinogens. And sadly, groundwater pollution by fracking fluids is currently exempt from the Clean Water Act, due to a loophole put in place in 2005.Studies are being conducted by the Department of Environmental Conservation. But a complete analysis is still needed. This includes not only what happens to groundwater at drilled sites, but the fate of the millions of gallons of freshwater used in the hydro-fracturing process, much of which comes out of wells contaminated with drilling additives.The emotion surrounding drilling in the Marcellus Shale has been high, as evidenced by the thousands of comments received during public hearings. Citizens and decision makers need to be able to evaluate the true costs and benefits. The state's new governor could play a leadership role to ensure this happens.Traditionally, environmentalists have embraced natural gas. Relative to other fossil fuels, it emits less carbon dioxide. And, unlike coal and oil, it's not a source of nitrogen oxide and mercury when burned. While this is good news for air quality, environmentalists are worried natural gas drilling may pollute groundwater — an essential resource that is difficult to remediate and slow to regenerate.Landowners are also in a quandary — do I sign a lease with a gas company not knowing what it will do to my groundwater? Or, does the supply of clean water to my family and grandchildren trump the immediate income I might get from gas extraction?We can't leave individual interests or emotions in the driver's seat, objective science needs to guide the decision making process. Too often, we discover real problems only after programs are fully implemented, with major investments that are difficult to leave behind.From a research standpoint, six months is a small window of time. The scientific community needs to act expediently to gather as much information as possible, so we have a clear picture of freshwater pollution risks before the horizontal drilling begins.Funding for the work should flow from both the corporate world and New York state.

University of Delaware Alumni
"I truly believe that the skill-set that I developed at the University of Delaware allowed me to have the confidence to pursue these various interests as they presented themselves. The University of Delaware helped make me fearless."
"Our HRIM program was so strong in that they paired you up with industry professionals your first year through events on and off campus. We interacted regularly with powerhouse hospitality companies such as Marriott, Hyatt, Aramark, Sodexho, Compass and more. This truly helped give our students a leg up on the competition."
"The College of Agriculture especially helped because without being introduced to so many different sciences in Agriculture, I would have never learned that I could study turf grass, and be the Head Groundskeeper at one of the coolest ballparks in America!"
"In the mid 1950s, the chemical engineering department already was nationally recognized, and I chose that field for my undergraduate studies. It was a tough major and I carried 21 credit hours a semester plus the mandatory ROTC service. I also was a member of the Fightin' Blue Hens band. Even then, the University was a center of excellence."
"My UD experience helped me out because of all the great people I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with. The cross section of people that you meet in the Navy can be different if you haven't spent much time out of your hometown, so getting that experience at school really helped."
"It's not so much what you learn in school, but it's more about communicating with people and getting to interact with all different types of people. That's how the business world works."
"The University of Delaware has influenced me more deeply and profoundly than any other institution in my life. Inspiring teachers and scholars such as James R. Soles, Don Harward and James Oliver shaped and influenced who I am today and helped set me on a course of service to the people of this great state."
"The UD-Winterthur Program in Art Conservation gave me the best of both worlds. There was the intensity of study on campus and the actual experience of working at the museum. One of my most memorable professors at the University was the late Don Heller."
"The University of Delaware has played a critical role in preparing me for all the major milestones in my career. My undergraduate degree in civil engineering, complemented by my master's degree in public administration, has clearly provided me the educational foundation necessary for a successful career in public service."
"I enjoy meeting prospective students and their parents at the College Fairs. It's fun telling students of my UD experiences over the telephone and/or in their houses."
"The University has brought me great friends and acquaintances, the exposure to cultural and social diversity and a tremendous academic foundation that provided me the tools and confidence to excel in my careers of law and public service."
"The graduate training in behavioral observation and analysis I received at the University of Delaware has been valuable throughout my career, initially in the classroom but much more so in the give-and-take in boardrooms and management meetings over the last 30 years."
"I'm so glad that it's not a typical job," she says. "Every day, there's something funny that happens. Every day, it's something new. Even on my hardest days, I sit here and I look around and I think, 'I get paid to make television.' That's just amazing."
"I came to the University of Delaware because it uniquely combines the resources of a major, full-service university with a dedication to providing undergraduate students with the best possible educational experience. I loved my time at Delaware, have chosen to make my life and my career here and am proud to be an alum."
"In this job, there's a lot of creativity and problem-solving involved and I love that," she says. "Plus, there's great teamwork. I feel very lucky to be doing what I'm doing."
"What else can I say except that I have been a very fortunate man to have received a sound education at the University of Delaware, which has given me the basis to be successful in life."
"The University of Delaware offers a real cross section of the East Coast," the graduate of UD's Sports Management Program says. "There was a high value placed on relationships. That was very important to me while I was there, and it has continued to be important to me ever since."
"I grew up in Newark, and when I walked or rode my bicycle on UD's campus, I passed large, attractive buildings, physical structures filled with history and mystery. No one in my family had ever graduated with a college degree or even attended the University of Delaware."
"Prior to coming to UD I really did not enjoy learning, and did not think I was very good at it. But when I got to UD I really applied myself, and challenged myself. When I saw the internet I thought this was too cool an opportunity to give up. UD provided me that for sure."
"I learned a lot about self-discipline and independence at the University of Delaware. I was also awoken to new cultures and new ways of thinking that helped me understand, by the end of my four years there, that I had a lot to learn about life. My experience at Delaware was wonderful and rewarding."
"I have nothing but fantastic memories from my years at the University of Delaware. I received a great education. I met my wife. I made lifelong friends. A knowledgeable and caring faculty mentored me. Now 20 years since my graduation, I still have friends at the University and visit the campus on a regular basis."
"My most fond memory was from my first week on campus, when I was placed in temporary housing in the basement of Warner Hall, with 20 other girls. I didn't know a single soul on campus, but we immediately bonded, and I remain friends with a few of them still. I went on to live in Warner Hall for two years, and I loved it."
"The University of Delaware taught me how much fun it was to learn. I majored in Chemistry and minored in Economics, and these two exercises both stimulated and satisfied me, despite the fact that I wasn't an especially talented student academically."
"I felt Delaware prepared me very well for all my careers- as an Extension Agent for the University of Maryland and Texas A&M Cooperative Extension Service – as a Nutritionist at a health clinic - as a small business owner, as a Floral Buyer and Merchandiser - as a mom- and now as a Bed & Breakfast owner."
"I remember attending lectures where the Communications Department brought in high profile speakers in the communications world. Through the many different sessions I learned what I needed to know from live TV production to film making. In my industry, it is wonderful to have the background knowledge that I possess."
"I've been blessed with lifelong friends from college days - there's a group of us who still get together once a year."
"I felt that UD provided the perfect atmosphere to balance a great education and social atmosphere. Whether it was going to football or basketball games, the Deer Park, or just walking around campus, I will always remember my years at Delaware."
"It was while at UD that I became a countertenor. My teacher was highly supportive in my switch from being a tenor and fostered my development in aspects of repertoire."
"My coach suggested that I teach group classes as a part time job. Once I started teaching, I was hooked!" says Vara. "This also happened to be the time when the College of Health Sciences was expanding and beginning to offer some new exciting majors. It seemed to be the perfect fit for me."
"WVUD was a great place to try new things...and really do the show that I wanted to do and not be constrained by a format," says Tull. "If I wasn't able to keep working on-air, writing, conceiving and creating at WVUD, I wouldn't have been able to be successful in this business."
"It was at University of Delaware that I came into my own. Being the first of my siblings to attend college was an eye-opening experience. I gained the confidence to dream big."
"It was so great to reconnect with old friends from UD for an afternoon of food, fellowship and fun."
"Unfortunately, not every book can be the next Twilight or Hunger Games. I knew it takes time for a book to build an audience."
"At University of Delaware, I learned how to balance work, life, fun and extracurricular work. I learned that the more you give to your activities, the more you receive back."
"I have to give huge kudos to the computer science and engineering programs at UD for invoking passion into me and my fellow students. I also thought the flexibility of the University was amazing for me as a student-athlete. It let me nurture myself through both athletics and academics. It was that combination that really helped me."
"I hope the lasting legacy I leave is one that stresses the importance of relationships. In this day and age of text messaging and social media, I have prided myself on face to face relationship-building that I had with UD patrons, employees, and students. As the University of Delaware Alma Mater says, 'I give thee thanks for glorious days.'"

Voters on Nov. 6 will be asked whether they want to create a county executive form of government for McHenry County.
While the executive is popularly elected, unlike the current system where the County Board's 24 members elect a chairman after every November election, the executive position comes with a lot more authority than the chairmanship and would change the power structure of county government.
The following is a guide to a look at what a county executive is, what it isn't, and the powers the seat holds.
Is this a referendum to allow us to directly elect the McHenry County Board chairman?
No. The referendum, if approved, would create a county executive, and voters would elect their first executive to a four-year term in 2014.
The executive, as the name suggests, is in charge of the day-to-day functions of county government, not unlike the current county administrator, who is appointed rather than elected. The executive also acts as an executive branch for the county board.
What does that mean?
The executive is not a member of the county board, and does not vote except to break ties. But like the governor, any legislation approved by the board has to be signed by the executive to take effect.
The executive also can veto legislation, which would require a three-fifths majority of board members to override. The McHenry County Board would need 15 of its 24 members to override an executive veto.
Legislation not signed by the executive automatically would take effect at the time of the next board meeting under the County Board's current meeting schedule.
What powers does an executive have?
State law gives executives significant authority over county operations, most of which requires formal approval by the county board.
The authority includes preparing the county's annual budget, appointing people to boards and commissions, hiring and firing department employees, entering intergovernmental agreements, negotiating with public and private entities to promote economic development, and redrawing county board district boundaries after each decennial U.S. Census.
Executives also can appoint independent legal counsel if they choose, but the county board sets the salary for the counsel, which cannot exceed that of the state's attorney.
The executive's power to hire and fire does not extend to the offices of other countywide elected offices, such as the state's attorney, sheriff or county clerk.
What power does the county board have over the executive?
Besides voting to approve the executive's initiatives, state law requires the executive to "perform such other duties as shall be required of him by the board." In short, the executive is legally obligated to follow directives given by the board.
Would county government get home-rule power if the referendum passes?
No. This referendum does not grant the McHenry County Board home-rule authority that state law otherwise gives counties with an executive.
How much does the executive get paid?
That's up to the board, but the state sets a minimum – the executive's salary must be at least 1 1/2 times that of a board member.
Using board members' $21,000 salaries for 2014 as a benchmark, the salary of the executive would have to be at least $32,000 a year.
The salary would very likely be much higher. By comparison, board Chairman Ken Koehler's annual salary is $82,200. The executive in Will County now earns just under $100,000 a year.
What other Illinois counties have an executive?
Just Will County. Voters there approved the county executive form, without home rule, in 1988. Voters in Lake, Winnebago and Champaign counties have rejected the idea. Champaign County voters voted it down three times.
The executive form is far more common elsewhere. About 840 of the nation's 3,000 counties have an executive form of government, according to the lobbying group County Executives of America.
But while Will County voters elect an executive, its county board, like ours, elects a board chairman from among its ranks to oversee the board.
How did this get on the McHenry County ballot?
The referendum was spearheaded by state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, after unsuccessful efforts to have the McHenry County Board chairman popularly elected.
The number of signatures needed to put the question on the ballot is 2 percent of the county's registered voters or 500 individuals, whichever is less.
What kind of efforts were made?
Some board members after the 2010 election wanted to put a referendum on the ballot that, if approved, would have had voters elect the board chairman. Supporters brought it up again during last year's post-census redistricting, when the board could have done so by ordinance. Neither idea moved forward.
A proposal to put the referendum on the upcoming ballot to compete with the executive referendum was defeated by the County Board on a 16-3 vote. Not one board member, even those who support popular election of the chairman, has spoken in support of the Franks referendum.
Franks filed a bill in January in Springfield to force popular election of the McHenry and Lake county board chairmen, but state lawmakers crushed it on a 100-16 vote.
Can the executive position, once approved, be undone?
Voters can petition for a referendum to discontinue the county executive form of government. But a petition to discontinue requires more signatures than the 500 it took to get it on the McHenry County ballot.
A petition requires signatures equal to at least 5 percent of the number of people who voted in the last election. If we use the last presidential election as a benchmark, 5 percent of the 140,002 county residents who voted is 7,001 signatures.
A referendum to discontinue the executive form can be asked only once every four years.
What state law covers county executives?
The duties of the county executive are listed in 55 ILCS 5/2-5. You can read the statute online at http://www.ilga.gov.

Most people are watching the Super Bowl as I type. But instead of making chili and guacamole this evening, I threw a brunch this morning. Well before Beyonce rocked the halftime show and a blackout darkened the field (Oreos anyone?), four lovely ladies knocked on my door, arms full of food.
It all started in November with crowd-sourcing recipe site Food52, their second cookbook, and a give-away. I saw an announcement that the first forty people to sign up to host potlucks celebrating the book would receive free books and some other goodies. With a guest list of cooking friends in mind, I offered up my home to other Boston-area Food52-ers and secured the freebies. Four months later, we met and we ate.
Jenn walked in first with a blue Le Creuset pot of roasted carrot soup that we set on the stove to reheat. Megan, a friend of mine from high school, showed up with a bottle of Veuve and an apology for not being able to prepare a dish. (Full time job plus working husband plus two boys? No apology necessary, Megan.) Jenn chopped up some thyme in the kitchen while I reached around her to grab silverware and dishes and glasses that Megan set out on the table. We started in on the cheese and pears.
I pulled an almond orange cake out of the oven, clipped broccoli trees for roasting, and whisked together a smoked paprika vinaigrette.
Another knock on the door, and I took coats from Christine who had driven down from Portland and her friend Elizabeth. Christine brought the nibbles – chevre devils and blue cheese savouries – and her own contribution to the cookbook – decadent salted pumpkin caramels. Elizabeth presented a pan bagnat – salade Nicoise in sandwich form.
I lit a fire and we filled our plates, sitting around my coffee table and chatting. Cheers to new friends.
So, the game just ended. Let's celebrate with cake. Let's mourn with cake. Let's all eat cake.
Almond cake with orange flower water
Adapted from Food 52's second cookbook, this is a pretty classic yogurt cake, enriched with almond meal and soaked in an orange flower syrup. I made my own almond meal by pulsing almonds in a food processor. I skipped the syrup and instead added orange zest to the cake batter and replaced the vanilla with orange flower water. I used 2% Greek yogurt because it was what I had, but next time I'll use full fat because the cake didn't rise as much as I thought it would and was a bit crumbly. I also think I topped the batter with too many sliced almonds, weighing the cake down. No worries, I'll be making the cake again.
Makes one 9×5-inch loaf pan.
– 2 large eggs
– 1 C 2% plain yogurt (original recipe called for full fat)
– 1 C sugar
– 1/3 C vegetable oil
– 1 t orange flower (blossom) water
– 1 orange for zest
– 1/8 t salt
– 1 1/2 t baking powder
– 1/2 baking soda
– 1 C flour
– 1 C almond meal
– 1/3 C sliced almonds
Prep. Heat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. I cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan to make it easier to lift out the cake.
Whisk. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, sugar, oil, orange flower water, and orange zest.
Fold. Switch to a spatula. Mix in the salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the flours gradually to the wet ingredients, folding until just combined.
Sprinkle. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top.
Bake. Bake for 50 minutes (the original recipe recommends 40 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Good news for fans of "The Book of Eli" and "From Hell": Sibling directors The Hughes Brothers are slated to lense the live-action adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's graphic novel "Akira". I tap my chin worriedly, though I am intrigued by the idea. I also like Vanilla Coke, so go figure.
Thanks to the fine, opportunistic folks working behind-the-scenes at Sony Pictures, James Cameron's underwater epic "Pirahna II: The Spawning" will arrive on DVD this April. If you ever get the opportunity to procure Cameron's autograph, be sure to bring your copy of the film along for the ride. I'm sure he'll appreciate the joke.
Speaking of DVD release dates, E1 Entertainment has picked up North American distribution rights for director Fruit Chan's ambitious remake of Hideo Nakata's supernatural freakshow "Don't Look Up." The film stars Henry Thomas, and Kevin Corrigan, and Eli Roth. Yes, I said Eli Roth. Got a problem with that?
Although I'm honestly not that surprised, it turns out that grandmothers enjoy smoking crack before embarking on a high-speed police chases. I've also heard that AARP gives unbelievable discounts on illegal narcotics to all its card-carrying members. I can't wait to get old!
Grandfathers, on the other hand, are a little different. Instead of drugs and violence, they prefer to flush stink bombs down toilets and spray so-called "fart spray" inside Wal-Marts. I suppose its beats the old "pull my finger" routine, though not by much.

Paperless--It's All About Proactive Manufacturing
In paperless manufacturing, traditional paper-based records and travelers give to electronic records. ERP systems provide information such as bills of materials and process plans to the shop floor, so that operators manage production tasks in preset sequences to ensure schedules adhere to up-to-date customer-priority rankings and due dates. Need to view the latest product-design drawings and related information? All of that and more is readily available at workcell terminals—real time and up to date. You can't create a much more visible, open and error-resistant process than when you go paperless. Nonconformance issues disappear, scrap and rework dwindle and customer complaints become extinct.
|Surrounded by a stack of die sets staged for machining, a Superior Die Set operator accesses his ERP screen to view the specific machining requirements for the job at hand.
Witness Superior Die Set Corp., Oak Creek, WI, a die-set designer and builder with core competencies in machining, grinding, welding and related processes. Since 2000 the firm has managed production virtually paper-free: "95 to 98 percent of the jobs we enter, as we're entering them into the system it's automatically building the job structure," says company president Frank Janiszewski. With an average of 2500 work orders in its scheduling system at any given time, the value of electronic scheduling—automatic building of bills of materials, routings and process requirements—can't be overstated.
The Transition
|A CNC operator accesses the firm's ERP software on the plant floor to view CAD files for the work order and, when needed, verify machining geometry.
To transition to paperless, Superior Die rode on the back of Epicor's Avante ERP software, which now resides on Superior's virtualized servers. It selected the software, after looking at numerous options, for its ability to let Superior's programmers construct its own unique, custom configurators. Janiszewski explains."While we essentially function as a job shop, building die sets and mold bases to customer specs, we maintain standard product lines that serve as the primary building blocks for each job. These include a die-set product line, mold-base product line, plate product line, weldment product line etc. For each of these product lines we have a configurator that, for each new job, calculates how many routings we need, what material needs to be pulled for each routing and the sequence of operations required on the plant floor to build the job. We have multiple configurators programmed into Avante within each product line to handle different situations, covering the spectrum of simple to complex jobs. The software accesses our database of inventory, and checks to make sure we don't design a die with components that won't work together. In essence it creates a lot of checks and balances as we build the tool. In the end, we develop an entire job structure—multiple generations of work orders, parents and children."
Reduce the Drag on Manufacturing
Submitted by Christine Hansen, product marketing manager, Epicor Software Corp.
You might be surprised at the amount of paperwork generated for that one order. Thanks to technology, it seems we need more printouts and amass more paperwork of product changes than previous generations. A practical challenge you might consider is to follow an order from the time it's placed through to shipment and trace the amount of paper used internally amongst employees, with the customer and with suppliers.
So now, let's explore three key areas where going paperless can translate to leaner operations with reduced paper-based processes.
Faster, More Efficient Product Innovation
Let's look at the task of bringing new products to market and managing product changes, the latter being perhaps the most common activity influenced by paperless initiatives. The simple business process of requesting a product change, approving the change request, communicating the change to engineering, engineering making the change and delivering the updates and communicating the change to purchasing and the shop floor all can be heavily influenced by paperless processes. For example, what happens when the change request becomes a misplaced piece of paper, or worse, communication to the shop floor is incomplete?
Technologies are available today to support these processes, both within and outside of the organization. Many businesses use product-lifecycle management systems to manage the documentation (yes, paper) and processes in developing the market requirements for these new products, alongside the engineering workload, CAD files, material specifications and, yes, more paperwork needed not only to prototype and bring the product to market, but fit the aftermarket requirements. These systems not only manage the electronic documents, they directly integrate with CAD for a seamless handoff from engineering that drives a single "version of the truth" down to the production floor.
The Only Certainty: Product Change Will Happen
For businesses on the receiving end of product changes, processes are needed to support the receipt of product changes and communicate them to the shop floor quickly—a great benefit from deploying paperless processes in the business.
For example, many design changes occur electronically at our customers' businesses and the flow of these changes comes into the business from the customer via an electronic document—yes, an e-mail. Once that electronic document is received, what do we do with it? WE PRINT IT. There has to be a better , and technology can help. Manufacturing ERP systems that support product-data management and document management can receive the data electronically and link it to a production job so that operators on the plant floor can log in and see the new drawing, material certifications and other documentation that flows into production.
Open the Door to Efficiency and Customer Service
One efficient process many businesses not only seek but are being dragged into is to offer and receive electronic documents from customers and suppliers. If you aren't sending electronic invoices and if you haven't received an electronic AP invoice lately, it might be time to check your inbox.More and more businesses are reducing lead time in moving these documents to improve cash flow, eliminate waste in the office and be green. Enterprise content-management systems support and control the flow of documents to and from your business electronically. As an example, you can print a batch of invoices with a single click and the system picks up the print run from a virtual printer that applies logic. For example, customer A would like its invoice printed and mailed, customer B prefers an e-mail and customer C wants xml.
On the plant floor, every work station houses a terminal that operators use for real-time labor reporting. They can access work-order numbers and view their specific work instructions for the job at hand when they log in. Then, when they log out of the job the software informs them of the next operation in the process.
One software plug-in Janiszewski particularly appreciates is an e-scheduling routine. "Because things change so often and rapidly here, we rely heavily on the ability of the e-scheduler to prioritize orders based on several parameters. We actually reschedule our entire backlog three times per day, reshuffling orders based on the logic built into the system.
"We've also made our quoting and customer-service processes paperless," Janiszewski continues. "We have software that converts faxed RFQs to PDF files, which store in public folders —just as CAD data comes in through our translators and is packaged into e-mails sent through customer service. So our customer-service managers constantly scan their e-mail in-boxes to manage quoting and purchase orders paperlessly. We've pushed paperless as far into our process as we can."
What's the Payback?
On the front end, Janiszewski says the payback with paperless manufacturing can be measured in terms of responsiveness. "We're all about speed," he says, "and the race doesn't just start when we cut the first piece of steel, but when we receive an RFQ. Our goal is same-day turnaround of quotes, viewing quoting as a slice of lead time. If a customer has to wait two or three days for a quote and our lead time on a made-to-order product is four working days, we're behind the eight ball.
"So we measure success based on quote turnaround," continues Janiszew-ski. "The ERP software time-stamps everything, and I receive daily reports on our RFQ volume and our responsiveness. We're same-day quoting 85 to 90 percent of the time, realizing that some projects are too complex to quote in just a few hours. It's safe to say that we're quoting and processing significantly more orders than ever before, without adding labor and—this is critical—with less supervision required. We're not out there chasing routers and diagnosing mistakes. Our material coordinators know where jobs are and where they have to go, without a supervisor watching over them. Material flow is smooth and optimized."Rapid manufacturing is the goal," Janiszewski concludes, "and now we're able to move jobs from work center to work center based on machine and personnel availability. That type of flexibility is nearly impossible to achieve without paperless workflow." MF

Over the past few decades a range of female icons have sported big bouffants, and some of those huge hairstyles have become as famous as the heads upon which they grew; Brigitte Bardot's beehive and Farah Fawcett's windswept mane both being prime examples.
At times, certain starlets have become overshadowed by their massive locks, both literally and figuratively speaking. Who could forget Jennifer Aniston's '90s 'do in the smash-hit comedy Friends? Such was the popularity of Jen An's old hairstyle that women everywhere were going into salons and asking for "The Rachel".
Years after the show came to an end, Jennifer Aniston revealed how she thought it was "the ugliest haircut" she'd ever seen. Speaking of her longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan, who invented the cut, Jennifer said: "I love Chris but he's the bane of my existence because he started that damn 'Rachel', which was not my best look." Well, whether she likes it or not, Jennifer Aniston will forever be associated with that hairstyle.
At the risk of furthering Jen An's dismay, it would appear that blowdrys are still de rigueur, as proven by Cheryl Cole's L'Oreal ads and Miranda Kerr's recent 80s power blowout. Big hair, it seems, will always be in vogue. So what better time to channel this eternally fashionable trend than during the festive period? The biggest and most glamorous parties tend to take place around Christmas and NYE, so it's only fitting that you have big, glam hair to match.
Enter Pump Up the Volume Diffuser Dryer by T.H.X, which promises "statement curls that hold their shape without a hint of frizz". Now, I think I'm fairly well placed to judge on this matter given that my hair is thick, wavy (bordering on curly) and at times downright unruly. From personal experience, I know that big hair can be hard to handle, and so as is custom here at Yesterface, I'll only give my honest opinion on this product.
When I first saw the Diffuser Dryer I was surprised at its sheer size in comparison to my little old dryer. The hairdryer is quite large, meaning it's not travel-friendly, and it can get a bit tiring to hold when the diffuser nozzle is attached. This is especially true if you're drying your hair upside down while using a low setting! First world problems, eh? Having said that, the hairdryer is able to emit a 2000w blast, meaning you can dry your hair really quickly if you use the concentrator nozzle and put the heat setting on full.
Speaking of settings, in addition to a bright fuschia 'cool shot' button, there are two curved switches built into the handle; one switch controls the heat, and the other switch controls the fan speed. Both switches have cute purple detailing and are designed in such a way that your fingers easily grip around them. The handle also boasts soft, rubbery and sleek materials which feel luxurious to hold.
The diffuser nozzle is a bit of a beast, but in a good way; when paired together, both the dryer and diffuser are able to tackle large amounts of hair in one go. After using the Diffuser Dryer, I found that my hair felt softer and less frizzy than it usually does after blowdrying. I also felt as if my roots had been given a slight lift and that my hair had extra bounce.
I like using the concentrator nozzle too as it's a fast, effective tool for creating straight yet voluminous hair. I'm due for a trim at the moment, but even so, when I blow-dryed my hair using the concentrator nozzle, a big round brush and Guard heat-protection spray by Neal & Wolf, I was able to achieve a really great shape.
Overall, I think the Diffuser Dryer is a great, stylish product that's definitely worth its (very reasonable) £34.94 price tag. If you fancy getting your hands on one, the THX range is currently available exclusively at Tescos.
Just remember, when using the hairdryer, if you want '80s volume but none of that '80s frizz, make sure you use a good heat-protection spray, otherwise you may end up looking like this…

Website: The Bronx CREED website was completed and went live on March 23, 2005, and features our logo that also graces the cover of our new brochure. Besides comprehensive descriptive information about Bronx CREED and our calendar, links are provided to our archived webcasts, PowerPoint presentations of Key Personnel about our organization and research, other Project EXPORT Centers, NCMHD, NIH, and DHHS.
Evaluation: The Bronx CREED evaluation plan, using logic models for the overall Center and each of its cores, was presented by Dr. Strelnick at the Project EXPORT annual directors meeting in Bethesda, MD, on September 22, 2004.
During the past year under the leadership of Dr. Blank our evaluation has focused on three dominant areas: documenting the implementation of Bronx CREED; refining the logic models for each core; and articulating critical measurement variables with each of the six Bronx CREED cores.
Articulation and integration of the core logic models are being developed through an Executive Committee process of modifying an overall conceptual model for health inequalities and disparities first offered by Amy Schulz and Mary Northridge ("Social Determinants of Health: Implications for Environmental Health Promotion," Health Education & Behavior 2004;31(4):455-471) to reflect Bronx CREED's Specific Aims, activities, theoretical framework, and operating philosophy.
Additional Collaborations: Largely through their activity on the ICCH Community Advisory Board, several organizations have become more involved in Bronx CREED's Coordinating Council and activities, including Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center; Casita Maria, a women's shelter; For a Better Bronx (FABB), a grassroots environmental justice group; Fordham University's Science & Technology Entrance and College Science & Technology Entrance Programs (STEP & C-STEP) for gifted minority students; Hostos Community College; Morris Heights Health Center; Mosholu Preservation Corporation; Planned Parenthood of New York City (Project Street Beat); Small Business Development Center of Lehman College; VIP Services, a drug treatment program; Visiting Nurse Service of New York City; and Women's Housing & Economic Development Corporation (WHEDCO). Several specific collaborations are described below.
Leveraged and Collaborating Funded Programs: Two proposals mentioned in last year's Progress Report were funded: the Bronx-Einstein Alliance for Tobacco-Free Health (Bronx BREATHES), funded by the New York State Department of Health for five years and the Bronx Science & Health Education Partnership (HP03987-01), funded by HRSA's Division of Health Professions Diversity and Development for three years. Both share office space with Bronx CREED. Bronx BREATHES promotes professional training in smoking cessation and other smoking cessation programs. BxSHOP supports the health professions "pipeline" for minority students beginning in 7th grade through post-baccalaureate programs in collaboration with Fordham STEP and C-STEP (among others).
Pending Funding Proposals: Our renewal proposal to NIEHS for the South Bronx Environmental Justice Partnership (ES11085-04) received a priority score of 160, and SBEJP still has two years remaining on its ethics grant (ES12103-03). Our renewal proposal to the NIH's National Center for Research Resources for the Bronx Science Education Partnership (RR15677-05) is pending review in October 2005. Bronx CREED organized a broad coalition, the Bronx Health Disparities Intervention Research Initiative, in response to the NCMHD's RFA-MD-05-002 on Community Participation in Health Disparities Intervention Research, which is also pending review, submitted with Dr. Strelnick as Principal Investigator through Montefiore Medical Center.

Lehman College MPH Program: The full CUNY Board of Trustees voted to approve the proposed Lehman College MPH Program at their June 27, 2005 meeting.,after being passed unanimously by its Committee on Academic Policy, Program and Research on June 6th. The Lehman College MPH Program, which will focus on health disparities and offer specializations in epidemiology and policy/management has been developed to meet all the requirements for accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) and will seek accreditation at the appropriate time. The MPH Program will admit its first class, spring 2006.
Health Disparities Faculty Development Fellowship: Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Iman Sharif, MD, MPH, and Dr. Marsha Guess,of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Women's Health (Ob/Gyn) both successfully completed their second year of the Fellowship in coursework of the Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP}. They will graduate May 2006. Two new Fellows were selected and have begun the Fellowship and CRTP: Dr. Karen Warman, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Montefiore Medical Center (MMC) and Dr. Rodney Wright, Assistant Professor of Ob/Gyn, completed his three year Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship and will focus his research on issues related to the management of HIV in pregnant women of color. Both Drs. Guess and Wright are African-American and members of Ob/Gyn's Division of Equity in Women's and Perinatal Health (DEW Point).
Strengthening Community Collaboration: COAID Core and other Bronx CREED key personnel participate in Reach Out and Read; the Bronx Health Link's monthly planning council meetings; Bronx REACH Coalition's monthly meetings and its Faith-Based Working Group's meetings; Bronx Borough President's Clergy Working Group, Task Force on Environmental Hazards in the South Bronx, and Healthy Bronx Campaign; and Bronx HIV Care Network (which also meets monthly).
Bronx Faith & Medicine Project:
In collaboration with the New York chapter of the American Heart Association's faith-based "Search Your Heart" program, which conducted a series of health education workshops hosted by Bronx and Brooklyn churches.
Reverend Jackson, Dr. Charles Nordin of Jacobi Medical Center, and Dr. Strelnick serve on the "Seqrch Your Heart" Steering Committee. A day-long symposium for the African-American community and clergy about end-of-life-care, called "Crossing Over Jordan," developed originally by Duke University was held at Riverside Church in Manhattan with over 400 clergy, lay, and health care providers attending on June 7, 2005.
The Visiting Nurse Serve of New York was the lead local planning agency with Bronx CREED co-sponsorship. Those attending asked that it become an annual event.
On June 22, 2005, Bronx Faith & Medicine Project hosted "Bring Ten: A Clergy Conference," which was an official event during Bronx Week and was attended by over 200 clergy, parish nurses, laity, and health care providers.
Undergraduate Curriculum Development: As part of the general education curriculum for Lehman College and in conjunction with Dr. Barnhart, Bronx CREED's Core Director Research Training, respectively, a new upper-level course, LEH 301, was given in both the fall and spring semesters of 2004-05 with 25 and 22 students, respectively, entitled "Health Disparities in the United States" by Professor Jane Levitt, who will direct the MPH Program (see above).
Graduate and Professional Curriculum Development: The development of a Masters degree in Public Health at Lehman College was described above under the Research Training Core. Professor Levitt has also developed a graduate level course, "Health Disparities and Cultural Diversity," which is awaiting approval from the Lehman College Graduate Curriculum Committee. Dr. Neil Calman continues his annual lecture on "Health Disparities" for the health policy workshops in the required "Introduction to Clinical Medicine" for first year Einstein students; two 90 minute workshops have 20-25 students each. Dr. Strelnick also continues to give a monthly seminar on "Community Health and Health Disparities" to Albert Einstein College of Medicine students during their required Family Medicine clerkship, so over each academic year all 180 3rd year students participate.
Post-Graduate and Graduate Medical Education: Bronx CREED sponsored Ruth Zambrana, PhD, Professor of Women's Studies and Director of Research of the Consortium on Race, Gender, and Ethnicity at the University of Maryland and member of our EPAC, as a Visiting Professor from May 25-27th. After attending the EPAC meeting, she was a guest discussant at Grand Rounds in the Department of Family and Social Medicine (DFSM), where Professor Ruth Stein presented the IOM's "Children's Health, The Nation's Wealth" and then met with faculty on the Montefiore campus; in the afternoon she gave a seminar on the campus, entitled "Latino Women's and Children's Health." Robert G. Robinson, DrPH, Associate Director of Program Development in the CDC's Office of Tobacco and Health was a Visiting Professor on June 25th, presenting "Black-White Tobacco Use: Elimination of a Disparity in Prevalence" at DFSM Grand Rounds at Montefiore, met with Bronx BREATHES leadership, attended a lunch at the Faculty Club, and made the presentation again on the campus.
Faculty & Professional Development: After solving some technical difficulties, a total of 11 webcasts have been broadcast by the Clinical Directors Network (CDN) and archived both on the CDN ( http://www.cdnetwork.org/NewCDN/LibrarySearch.aspx ) and Bronx CREED websites. These include the four plenary speakers for the "Addressing Cross-Cultural Issues and Health Care Disparities" pre-conference, held in conjunction with the Northeast Regional meeting of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine in Rye, NY (10/28/04), four speakers from Montefiore's "Advanced Diabetes" symposium (4/22/04), Dr. Neil Calman's )Overview of Health Disparities in the Bronx," (6/9/04) and two speakers from the Bronx CREED Coordinating Council Forums-Karla Damus, DrPH, Professor of Ob/Gyn, on "Perinatal Health Disparities" (10/22/04) and Jing Fang, MD, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health on "Neighborhood Disparities and Cardiovascular Health in New York" (7/30/04). Monthly Coordinating Council Forums have included directors of both the Diabetes and Cardiovascular Prevention and Control Bureaus of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Drs. Diana Berger (3/18/05) and Sonia Angell (4/22/05), respectively, presenting their public health initiatives; a school-based fitness and nutrition initiative (10/1/04); a community health initiative of a local managed care organization (11/9/04); Bronx BREATHES (1/28/05); and peer- and community-based education (2/25/05).
Cultural Competency Curricula Needs Assessment & Assets Inventory: A Cultural Competency and Health Disparities Survey was developed and conducted by telephone of residency and clinical clerkship directors of the major clinical departments (i.e., Family Medicine, Geriatrics, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Ob/Gyn, Pediatrics, and Psychiatry) at Jacobi and Montefiore Medical Centers, Einstein's major clinical affiliates in the Bronx. Of 15 residency programs at the two hospitals, all but one (Cardiology) agreed to the interview. Seven of eight required clinical clerkship directors were interviewed (all but surgery). Open ended questions were asked regarding current training in cultural competency and health disparities, departmental faculty interested in these subjects, topics that would be of interest that are not currently taught, availability of curriculum materials to share (e.g., lists of seminars, etc.), methods of evaluation, and estimates of the current time devoted to this training. The qualitative data was gathered by Ms. Soshana Silberman, the Health Disparities Education Core's Coordinator, and her findings summarized in June 2005 (to be discussed by the Executive Committee at its July meeting). Among the highlights of her study were the following: a majority (54%) of residencies covered using interpreters and interpretive services, most (64%) were interested in health disparities in health care outcomes in specific diseases followed by interviewing across the cultural divide (57%) and socio-cultural determinants of health (54%) and addressing organizational and structural barriers to care (50%) and cultural issues at the end of life (46%). Clinical clerkships were more complicated as medical students were trained for much shorter periods (4-8 weeks) in many (6-12) different clinical sites. An "impressive" number of faculty who were particularly interested in these issues, who may form the basis of institution-wide curriculum development. Shared Resources Core
Quantitative Research Consultation: Kathy Freeman, DrPH, Shared Resources Core Director, has assisted the staff of Health People in their evaluation of the diabetes and heart disease peer educator program(1/10/05) and met with 15 potential investigators, including many applicants for the Bronx CREED pilot and feasibility grants, including three community-based applicants. Dr. Freeman assisted Ms. Silberman in the development of the cultural competency survey for the Health Disparities Education Core. Applicants for the Faculty Development Fellowship were also encouraged to seek her expertise. For example, Dr. Yvette Calderon, a Hispanic Center of Excellence (HCOE) Faculty Development Fellow, whose research focuses on overcoming language barriers in HIV testing, sought consultation with Dr. Freeman and submitted a mini-grant proposal. Dr. Freeman assisted in reviewing the mini-grant proposals.
Qualitatitve Research Consultation: Kate McCoy, PhD, has assisted ten investigators and both the South Bronx Environmental Justice Partnership and Bronx Science Education Partnership in conducting focus groups. She also assisted Dr. Calderon, who has a NIH Minority Research Supplemental Award, and Ms. Silberman in analyzing the qualitative data from her interviews. Three investigators consulted both Drs.

The China Synthetic Resin Supply & Sale Association made its debut at the Chinaplas 2012 trade show in Shanghai. The trade group was formed by merging the former China Engineering Plastics Industry Association and the China Chemicals Supply & Sale Association and will host its first general assembly meeting in June.
The new group will aim to "clear the name of plastics," among other tasks, said its chairman, Yang Weicai, at a news conference at Chinaplas, held April 18-21 in Shanghai.
Yang said plastics have transformed the world with their exceptional affordability, flexibility in design and production, light weight and durability, and are used in numerous applications and sectors, he said. In the meantime, however, the safety and environmental impact of both plastics products and processing are increasingly raising public concern, especially in China.
"Some unlawful businesses have damaged the reputation of the plastics industry in their profiteering. Combined with the lack of effective regulatory efforts, it has resulted in a trust crisis among consumers," Yang said.
In addition, because consumers generally lack deep knowledge of plastics and are bombarded with misleading, anti-plastics media reports, plastics has been demonized, he said.
"Our responsibility is to take steps to help the public correctly understand plastics and the safe use of plastics products. Secondly, we need to come up with real solutions to end environmental pollutions caused by waste plastics. Last, but not the least, we'll guide the industry to better regulate itself and make sure the businesses comply with regulations and manufacture safe products in an environmentally friendly way," Yang said.
Plastics companies need to pay more attention to sustainability and the laws of nature, instead of just making a quick profit, added Zheng Kai, secretary general.
The association said it is determined to invest in marketing campaigns that will inform consumers of objective knowledge and understanding of plastics materials and products.
Other important and fundamental tasks on the new group's agenda are to maintain the balance of the marketplace, coordinate relations and protect its members — including materials-research institutes, suppliers, compounders, processors, trading companies and logistics providers.
China is the largest consumer of synthetic resins and the second-largest producer after the U.S., Yang said. In 2011, China produced 105.8 billion pounds of resins, 14 percent more than the previous year. The association forecasts that, by 2015, China's consumption of plastic resins will reach 220.5 billion pounds and domestic production, 154.3 billion pounds.
"The competition in China's resin market will intensify," Zheng said in a separate interview with Plastics News. "The current talks of free-trade zones — such as the free-trade deal between China, South Korea and Japan — will speed up the changes of the global marketplace and affect Chinese resin suppliers as well as global suppliers that have production facilities in China."
He added, "We will represent the industry's interests in various ways and help the government formulate policies and regulations, including the synthetic resin industry's 12th five-year plan", he added.
The association will establish more than a dozen subcommittees to cover specific areas like polyolefins, ABS and compounding.

I love Ardell Lashes so much, they are so natural you can never tell that you have false lashes on at all. My favorite are the 120 Demi Black lashes especially when I do the classic retro pin-up look with a winged cat eye look makes my eyes look so glamorized. What I really love about Ardell lashes is that you don't have to cut them at all because they are the perfect length, and light as a feather so when you apply a pair of Ardell lashes you don't feel them on your lash line, compared to other brans I use to wear. The best part about Ardell lashes there very affordable so I always stock up on my Ardell lashes. Ardell lashes is a must buy!!!
I am such an eyelash junkie, and I wear lashes just about every day of my life, sometimes even 2 pairs, depending on the look I am going for and these are my most reached for lashes. They are so glamorous, and so lightweight. I get compliments on them all the time. These are my go to lashes for my prom and wedding clients. They open up your eyes and give you that sultry sexy flutter that all women crave, all while looking very natural
they should call them 120 Demi Black glamorous. I love to wear them at night. they really lift my eyes and make them stand out like crazy i love all ardell lashes, the lash band is so nicce and flexible (but not flimsy) for easy application
These are the perfect length and fullness for a sexy eye that still looks really natural. The invisible band is AMAZING and they go on really easily. They are very flexible and easy to manipulate to your eye shape.
i use so many different ardell lashes. and these are BY FAR my favs. They are perfect size for my eye. dramatic enough to wear for a night time look, but not too crazy that i can wear them during the day too. i LOVE these

AVNIR is a high spatial resolution optical sensor for observing land and coastal zones in visible and near-infrared regions. AVNIR has 4 spectral bands with a 16m spatial resolution and 1 panchromatic band with an 8 m spatial resolution. The AVNIR data will be useful for environmental awareness and monitoring of such phenomena as desertification, destruction of tropical forests, and pollution of coastal zones as well as for resource exploration, land use, etc.
AVNIR's field of view (FOV) is about 80km, picked up by lines of small pixels. Its FOV scans the entire earth's surface as the satellite moves. There are only a few other similar sensors, such as TM on LANDSAT. Among AVNIR's sensors are features which give the sensors high spatial resolution, a pointing function to change the observation field by +-40 degrees along the cross track, a 0.4rim band useful for coastal zones and lakes, an optical calibration function which uses solar light and lamps, as well as others.
AVNIR is composed of two units, the Scanning Radiometer Unit (SRU) which is mainly composed of optical components and the Electronic Unit (ELU) which includes mainly electronic components. Optics in SRU adopts a Catadioptric Schmidt optical system to reduce aberration in a wide field of view. Large mirrors used in Optics and Pointing Mechanism Assembly are ultralight mirrors weighing 50 to 70% less than conventional mirrors, made from low expansion material. CFRP with low thermal and moisture expansion properties is used as the truss structural material in order to make Optics light yet extremely precise in orbit. The large linear-array CCDs with 5,000 and 10,000 pixels are used as detectors and deliver high spatial resolution. Observation data is compressed in the Image Processing Assembly by about 10% in order to reduce the transmission data rate.

Canada's Magnificent Condo
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2004 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2004
Testing reveals how well this building's design and construction are withstanding the test of time - and building occupancy.
How do you know if a building that was designed to be innovative, energy efficient, and healthy is fulfilling that design? You test it after the occupants have moved in. In 1998–99, a six-story, 48-unit condominium was designed and built to meet the four main goals of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) Innovative Durable Energy Efficient Affordable Solutions (IDEAS) Challenge, and Natural Resources Canada's Commercial Building Incentive program (CBIP).These goals include envelope durability, energy and water efficiency, indoor air quality (IAQ), and environmental and resource conservation.The building was designed to consume 35% less energy than a similar building that meets the Canadian Model National Energy Code for Buildings, and to provide better thermal comfort and IAQ than are found in typical apartment buildings. Many advanced or innovative features were integrated into the design and construction of the building: The building has a tight and wellinsulated envelope consisting of an exterior insulating finish system (EIFS) and brick veneer cladding.The EIFS system consists of stucco applied over a semirigid insulation that is fastened through the wall sheathing ...

In Italian cooking, meat (usually breast of veal) that is flattened and then rolled around a filling is known as braciola. The recipe below applies this preparation to turkey breast - an American touch - using a distinctly Italian stuffing.
- Yield
- Serves 12 as part of a buffet
- 1 large head escarole (about 1 1/2 pounds), washed well and drained
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1 slice homemade-type white bread, minced (about 1/2 cup coarse bread crumbs)
- 1 skinless boneless turkey breast half (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Coarsely chop enough escarole to measure about 7 cups loosely packed and reserve remaining escarole. In a 12-inch skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown. To onion add chopped escarole and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted. Stir in raisins and 1/2 cup broth and cook over high heat until most liquid is evaporated. Remove skillet from heat and stir Parmesan, pine nuts, and bread into filling.
- Put turkey on a long sheet of plastic wrap. Butterfly turkey breast: Beginning from a long side make a horizontal lengthwise cut almost but not all the way through turkey and spread turkey open to form a larger, thinner piece of meat. Top turkey with another sheet of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or bottom of a heavy skillet until meat measures about 12 by 8 inches, being careful not to make any holes in it.
- Discard top sheet of plastic wrap and arrange prosciutto, overlapping slightly, in one layer over turkey. Spread a 1/2-inch-thick layer of filling over prosciutto, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around and reserving any remaining filling. Beginning with a long side and using plastic wrap as a guide, roll up turkey and turn it seam side down (discard plastic wrap). Tie rolled turkey with kitchen string lengthwise and them crosswise at 1-inch intervals and season with salt and pepper.
- In a 12-inch deep skillet heat remaining tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown turkey, turning it. Add wine, remaining cup broth, and any remaining filling and braise, covered, over moderately low heat, turning turkey halfway through cooking, 35 minutes. Transfer turkey to a cutting board and cool. Strain braising liquid through a sieve into s small saucepan. Boil liquid until reduces to about 1/2 cup and skim off foam. Stir in lemon juice and cool sauce completely. Turkey and sauce may be made 2 days ahead and chilled separately, covered with plastic wrap.
- Discard string from turkey and cut turkey crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Shred reserved escarole and in a bowl toss with half of sauce. Arrange escarole on a platter with turkey slices and drizzle turkey with remaining sauce.

The frozen food section of the grocery store contains foods ranging from pizza and snack foods to traditional meat-loaf-and-mashed-potato dinners to meals targeted at people with health concerns including weight loss, heart health and vegetarian eating.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

Despite all the advertisements promoting weight loss-oriented meals, many consumers are confused about whether "diet" dinners really offer the help they need.
Research clearly shows that today's exploding portion sizes are making weight control more difficult for many people. One advantage frozen meals offer is that they are portion-controlled, preventing overeating if you only eat one dinner. Even if you don't plan to continue eating frozen meals on a permanent basis, you might use them long enough to help you readjust your expectations of what constitutes a normal portion size.
Those who use frozen diet meals often argue that these are the easiest way for a busy person to get a healthful, low-calorie meal. If the alternatives are eating high-fat choices from fast-food restaurants or cafeterias, or simply grazing on a variety of snack foods instead of bothering to fix a meal "from scratch," these frozen meals look pretty good.
Too few calories
However, in the long run, this can promote an all-or-nothing mentality: When the frozen meals are not available, people go back to their old habits because they haven't learned how to make other healthful choices that fit their lifestyle.
Some people look for meals as low in fat and calories as possible. Products that flaunt content "less than 300 calories" may actually be too low in calories for many people. If calories are spread fairly evenly through the day, as is usually recommended, then such a meal was designed for someone who eats only 1,000 calories a day. Diets containing 1,000 to 1,200 calories are really too low to meet the metabolic needs of most adults.
If calorie intake is limited to 1,000 to 1,200 calories, metabolic rate may slow down, making weight control more difficult. Metabolism is the burning of energy (calories) for functions needed to stay alive, such as digestion, growth, blood circulation and healing.
Not enough veggies
Many people who aim for such a low calorie intake end up so hungry or low on energy that they start grabbing snacks high in calories and lacking in nutrients after only a few hours.
Not only are these "under 300 calorie" meals too low in calories to satisfy you for a few hours, they also tend to provide only a small fraction of the vegetables, fruits and grains you need. Current recommendations to promote overall health and lower cancer risk call for a total of five to eleven servings of vegetables and fruits a day.
Even when calories are reduced to create weight loss, two-and-a-half to three cups a day (5 or more servings) of these foods are recommended. Most frozen meals supply a very small portion of fruits and vegetables.
High in sodium
Sodium content is another concern. Frozen meals that aren't identified as reduced-sodium or heart-healthy often contain from 700 to 1,800 milligrams (mg) of sodium. That makes it challenging for people to stay below the daily maximum of 2,300 mg recommended for the general population.
Such levels make it almost impossible for people who are more "salt sensitive" (those with high blood pressure, African-Americans and middle-aged and older adults) to stay below their recommended limit of 1,500 mg per day.
What is the solution?
First, use the Nutrition Facts label on a frozen dinner or entrée to help you choose one that is low in fat and sodium, and use the product as a base for a quick, nutritious meal. Round out the meal with extra fruit or vegetables and perhaps a whole-grain roll or bread. But don't fall into the same trap as people who only know how to diet by following pre-planned menus. If you decide to use them, frozen meals should be just one of the many ways that you create balanced meals and appropriate portions.
