Agriculture Education & Student Life
These articles are about agriculture education opportunities for students of all ages. Kentucky has several programs that work to teach younger students about agriculture, food, conservation, and consumerism. The commonwealth is also home to several colleges, universities, and vocational schools that will prepare students for jobs in an agricultural field.
At Murray State University, outside Oakley Applied Science building stands a man wearing cowboy boots, an old ballcap, drinking a cup of black coffee and smoking a Marlboro cigarette. That man is Dr. O.L Robertson.
Three chefs have begun work with Kentucky schools in the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's Chefs in Schools program.
In Kentucky, animal agriculture represents well over half of the ag economy when taking into account all livestock sectors.
Most of this can be attributed to tradition but because of the investments made in the whole industry much of which comes from the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund, not only has livestock production grown but animal quality remains important and is exceptional in many cases.
It was obvious that Becky Kinder and the Kentucky Soybean Board were a great fit considering she interned with them three summers in a row. Becky became their full-time education director in 2004.
As he energetically bounds across the lab checking on high school students while they extract DNA from tall fescue, there's no question that University of Kentucky instructor Lou Hirsch is passionate about science and teaching. It is with his passion and enthusiasm that Hirsch hopes to show students the human-side of science and make it something that is very real to them and perhaps a potential career.
On a warm fall day nearly 200 children and their families laced up their sneakers to read. The Owsley County office of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service recently received funding to install a StoryWalk in the Owsley County Park.
In the past 18 months, Jamie Porter has faced many challenges. Her husband passed away, and she quickly became a single mom to three children—one grown, one 17 and one 6 years old. She homeschools the youngest child, Lacey, and was grateful to find some helpful resources through the Boone County Cooperative Extension Service.
Students across Kentucky are learning more about agriculture, thanks in large part to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's Mobile Science Activity Centers, which are trailers with 10 interactive stations that visit schools throughout the Commonwealth. In addition to serving as hands-on educational tools, the trailer's stations provide fun, out-of-the-classroom experiences that can also introduce students to possible careers in agriculture.
Realizing what occupation one might have for an entire career is not something most high school students know, but Sierra Newsome, a junior at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester, Kentucky, is not one of them. She has already started thinking about her future and how she wants to achieve her dream job.
Fall is the time of year in which many festival-type events are held, mostly in honor of food. The Browning Orchard Festival is no different but along with it being a celebration of the foods that are grown there, it is also a classroom for the agriculture programs at Morehead State University (MSU.)
Food Science is a rapidly evolving discipline that applies basic science and engineering to study the quality, nutritional value, and safety of foods.

Peter Sellar's on the 2016 Ojai Music Festival/
"Claudia Rankine's seminal book, Don't Let Me Be Lonely, inspires another Ojai commission, a new vocal work by Caroline Shaw. Intensely personal, under the skin states of emotion, memory, and hope emerge in Caroline Shaw's body of work as well as in her body – Caroline Shaw's music is drawn from her voice, from her throat, from her heart, her pulse, and her blood. Her new work will once again be composed for the ensemble Roomful of Teeth who will also be reprising her Pulitzer Prize winning Partita for 8 Voices for Ojai."

Of Silence, Wildness, and Saint Ignatius
Two years ago a small group from my parish gathered for an intentional silent retreat. A few people in the group knew each other already, but most of us were strangers to one another and to the place where we met. To get there you must first drive an hour and a half northwest toward the ocean, then meander through a national wildlife sanctuary (with a band of donkeys wandering the hillsides) until you can't go any farther. All along the way, you're slowly enveloped by a web of forest and fog, mist and mystery. You must trust that the circuitous gravel road does indeed lead somewhere, and that there good things await you at the other end.
Our hosts — the Jesuits — run a rustic, remote, and storm-battered retreat center consisting of a longhouse for meals and meetings, the caretakers' quarters, one dormitory, and a handful of slowly crumbling cabins. Also a yurt for worship — a canvas-covered nest where we spent much of our time. All of this is perched on the edge of Nestucca Bay with a roaring Pacific ocean in view — the perfect tonic of wildness that Thoreau spoke of. Even the gray gloom of a long Oregon winter looks better out there. As Lent proceeds, I find myself longing for Nestucca again, for its quiet signs and wonders.
We began in silence on Friday evening, hearing only the "Surrender" prayer by St. Ignatius, one of our spiritual guides for the weekend:
Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess You have given me: I surrender it all to You to be disposed of according to Your will. Give me only Your love and Your grace; with these I will be rich enough, and will desire nothing more.
We ate supper in silence, passed in silence on our way to the bathrooms, then slept in silence, the words of St. Ignatius sifting through our dreams until morning.
"Take out your pens and we'll do ten minutes of free writing," said Deacon Chris as we gathered just after sunrise.
While this struck terror in the hearts of some members in our group, I was in my element. Over the next two days we circled the wood stove in the yurt, wrapped in our blankets and slippers, and listened as Chris read from Wendell Berry, Mary Oliver, William Stafford, Richard Rohr, and finally a passage from the Sermon on the Mount. I was familiar with a couple of the poems — "The Peace of Wild Things" and "Ask Me" — but found myself hearing words anew as we practiced Lectio Divina with each reading, lines and phrases jumping out like sparks from the fire.
One image in particular, from Oliver's "Five A.M. in the Pine Woods," kept haunting me: two deer that the poet stumbles upon while out for an early morning walk. She calls them "two mute and beautiful women." They stare at her as if they know her, and then turn and walk away. When we left the yurt for lunch, shortly after reading this, two does stood close together on the path, not ten feet from the doorway. Like they'd stepped right out of the poem.
A week before the retreat I had lost a favorite dialysis patient I had worked with for three years as part of my arts-in-healthcare job. Her name was Joy; she died February 1st. A month before that, on January 1st, another friend had died of cancer — a woman named Gloria who loved to sing, who created a remarkable children's choir in my town.
On the Saturday afternoon of that silent retreat, with free time to wander the grounds, my husband and I took a hike down the long, gravel road leading back to the highway. We had arrived in almost darkness and wanted to see things in daylight. Near where we first spotted donkeys in the mist, I looked down suddenly at the side of the road. A single yellow crocus bloomed, early since it was still February. Yellow was Joy's favorite color. Directly across from that first flower of spring, a tiny warbler was singing its heart out on a barren bush. It too was alone, no other birds in the brush.
"You will know soon enough that this is a magical place," said the Jesuit priest who lives there year-round, who welcomed us upon arrival. "You are on holy ground."
On Sunday we gathered in the yurt once more. This time for worship, a kind of free-form mass, led by the priest, Deacon Chris, and ourselves. The walls of the yurt bore witness to the work we had done together — a collage of furtive, scribbled free-writings, cut and slashed, then pieced together again. Displayed like liturgical banners, but more cries of the heart, they were our sermon for the morning. We read our own words and those of our companions with new eyes. With our silence ended, tears flowed freely as we shared the bread and wine of Eucharist. We formed something broken but whole, glimpsing at surrender.

I don't tend to reread books, but I have had to think about this question in my quest to declutter. (And I just have waaaaayyyy too many books.)

This is a world I want to sink into forever. I could reread this book for the rest of time and still find something new and enchanting about it with every page. THIS BOOK is just amazing. Continue reading "Top Ten Tuesday: Books We Could Reread Forever"

Blake Hall Wedding Photography
It's kind of a tradition for the bride to have a dance with her dad after the first dance. These are a couple of my favourite bride and father dance images. They make me feel that it's almost like a closing of one chapter in their life and the beginning of a new. Even though nearly all my couples have been living together for a few years before actually getting married, it does feel like it's the bride leaving the family nest and beginning her new life. All grown up, married and now off to create a home and family of her own. It's an emotional moment, a mixture of happy & sad.

text: Untold is far from just a straight retread of Serial though and it is precisely its confidence in its own resolutely British setting and tone that makes it so very unique and compelling. This is a murder mystery that is very much "souf London" and is not afraid to wear that fact on its sleeve. One of the things that actually makes the show almost more compelling that its NPR progenitor is the way in which it wraps out the troubles and concerns of the wider nation and age into this individual act of violence. Serial was tightly focused on the case of Adnan Syed although, in considering his conviction, did pay some lip service to the role that anti-Muslim sentiment may have played. Untold is fascinating because, while the case itself is brutal and absorbing, even more fascinating is the fact that, trundling along the background, one can almost hear the echoes of miners' strikes and National Front marches.

KidzTown is a children's ministry that teaches children about Jesus in age-appropriate and developmentally-appropriate ways. Children play games, learn Biblical truths and worship Jesus in a way they can understand!
We would love to see you and your family at Life Community Church this Sunday! We have a fun and exciting day planned!
First-Time Visitors
Find the KidzTown hallway and go to the check-in desk. We will introduce ourselves, check your child into our database system, and one of our volunteers will take your child to their classroom.
We will ask for the following information: family members' names, children's names and birthdates, address, phone number, and any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your child.
How Does Check-In Work?
You and your child will be given matching identification tags (Guardian tags) that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will wear the name tag portion which bears a 3-digit code that is matched to yours. During checkout, you will return to your child's room and show your Guardian tag in order for your child to be released back to you.
If for some reason you misplace your matching Guardian tag, please go to KidzTown check-in and be prepared to present your identification.
Have an Infant?
We love families here at Life Community Church and have made accommodations for you and your little ones. A Family Room with direct view of the auditorium is available for you to experience the Sunday morning service with your baby. Right next to the Family Room is a very comfortable Nursing Mom's Room should you need it. Our Guest Services Team (anyone wearing a lanyard) will be happy to help you find them.
Pagers are available at the children's check-in desk. If for some reason we feel you are needed during the service, we will page you. If you choose not to take a pager, your 3-digit code will appear on the displays in the auditorium. You would report back to your child's classroom with your Guardian tag.
If your child has a special need that we should be aware of, we suggest you contact us before your first visit so we can insure that we have the appropriate accommodations for your child.
You can reach us at 260-824-2252 or email@example.com.

On May 18, Dan Shipper graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. He didn't stick around to celebrate with friends like most college seniors do.
Instead, he hopped on a flight to Boston to finish negotiating the sale of his startup, Firefly. After two months of talks, Firefly was acquired by Pegasystems. The price wasn't disclosed, but since Shipper's startup was profitable and generating six figures you can assume the payout was nice.
Firefly enables customer-service reps to share their screens with customers and co-browse without requiring them to download any software. Its 6,000-plus customers pay either $25 to $99 per customer-service rep or a fixed monthly rate if it's a large organization. The team will be moving to New York to continue working on Firefly under the Pegasus brand.
There are a lot of unusual things about the Firefly team. First, there are only two people who work for the startup, 23-year-old Shipper and his even younger co-founder, Justin Meltzer. The pair largely bootstrapped Firefly, taking only $20,000 in financing from First Round Capital's Dorm Room Fund.
Second, both Shipper and Meltzer built Firefly while attending UPenn, and neither had to drop out of school to make it successful. Meltzer obtained his degree one year ahead of Shipper, who says he was held back in kindergarten.
"I couldn't color between the lines," he joked.
While the startup was profitable, Shipper and Meltzer paid themselves only a small salary of less than $30,000. When you're in college and have limited expenses, that low salary can go a long way.
"We pay ourselves a little bit of a salary but most of it goes toward expenses," Shipper told Business Insider before the acquisition. "Lawyer bills when you run a company like ours can get high. It's not like all of this is profit. We are pretty frugal with our money." The pair said they weren't spending their salaries treating themselves or friends to rounds of drinks. "Maybe when we get to seven figures in revenue we'll do that," Shipper said.
Shipper and Meltzer say they haven't told their friends about their successful exit yet. "They'll probably read about it on Facebook today," Meltzer said.
But they have told their parents. "My dad said, 'If you have to get a real job out of college, this is the way to do it,'" said Shipper.

Biobor® JF is a liquid fuel additive that combats fungus and other microbial life in hydrocarbon fuels, such as diesel and jet fuels, but is also effective in light oils and transmission fluid. Biobor® JF eliminates growth of harmful slime-producing fungi that clog filters and pipelines, attack rubber fuel system components and whose waste products aid in the corrosion of metal surfaces. Biobor® JF is simple to use and harmless to the wide variety of fuel system parts, top coatings, sealants and elastomeric materials tested. It does not adversely affect fuel performance in engines. Biobor® JF is an effective microbiocide because of its solubility in both fuel and water under conditions of fuel storage.
Applications-Biobor® JF is used by a large number of aircraft manufacturers, airlines, marines, trucking fleets, railroads, bulk storage terminals, fuel suppliers and by other users of hydrocarbon fuels and oils exposed to the possibility of contamination by fungus and bacteria.
Treatment procedures-If system is badly contaminated, drain water bottoms. Water bottoms in storage tanks should be kept to a minimum. Good housekeeping is important in treating slime problems, but it is not a cure. Biobor® JF is used at 270 ppm in fuel to effect sterilization, and subsequently at 135 ppm to maintain fungi-free fuel. Ideally, Biobor® JF should be metered. However, in the absence of metering equipment, Biobor® JF may be manually batchblended. If batch-blended, as in tank trucks or small aircraft wing tanks, Biobor® JF should be introduced while the tank is being filled and after the tank is approximately ½ full. This will ensure faster and more complete dispersion.
Container sizes and dosage rates-Biobor® JF is available in 8 oz. and 16 oz. Easy Squeeze containers designed to dispense the exact measure every time, along with 1 quart cans, 1 gallon containers, 5 gallon pails, and 55 gallon drums. Use the following chart to calculate how much Biobor® JF you need for proper fuel treatment.
Storage and handling-All Biobor® JF containers must be kept closed from the atmosphere. Protect Biobor® JF from any water contamination. Biobor® JF is classified as a flammable and is shipped as a FLAMMABLE LIQUID N.O.S. (NAPTHA) UN 1993, Class 3.3, PG III.
Biobor®JF kills hydrocarbon utilizing micro-organisms (or, HUM Bugs) which cause fuel tank contamination.

Located approximately 60 miles North West of Barcelona, Girona is the perfect day trip to take you away from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona.
You can easily drive to Girona along the autopista or, catch a train from Sants Estació which takes 40 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on whether you take the fast train or a regular one. There is also a bus which departs from the centre of Barcelona and takes just over an hour to arrive in Girona. All options of travel are very economically priced.
The train route to Girona is a very peaceful one, running parallel to the autopista, with views of mountains including the snow dusted Pyrenees and the Catalonian countryside on either side of the train.
There are nowhere near as many cars in Girona as in Barcelona; the city is highly pedestrianized so do be prepared for a day of walking. There is the option to rent bikes although, as the city is perched on a hill I would advise against it unless you are used to cycling.
The first thing you will notice upon arriving in Girona is how much crisper and fresher the air is. The city is chillier than Barcelona and lacks its sticky humidity. A short walk towards the historic centre will take you past plenty of high street and independent shops as well as little market stalls. Once past the shopping streets, you will find yourself walking through the cobbled streets up towards the beautiful Catedral de Santa María de Gerona. Entry to the cathedral costs 7€ and it is well worth a visit to see the magnificent stain glass windows and plans of how the building has changed since construction commenced in the 11th century. Behind the cathedral there are enchanting gardens which you can wander around and towers to climb to get a bird's-eye view of the city.
As Girona sits on the River Onyar, one idea of what to do on your day out is to visit all 11 bridges Girona possesses. These are the 5 which pass over the river:
- Pont de Pedra
- Pont de les Peixateries Velles
- Pont de Sant Agusti
- Pont de Sant Feliu
- Pont d'en Gómez
Girona also has a very prominent Jewish Quarter which is located within a maze of medieval streets, whilst wandering around the city you will often notice the decoration of the Star of David. You are able to visit the synagogue, the Jewish history museum and the Arab Baths.
There are also plenty of museums for you to visit, such as:
- Girona History Museum – 4€ entry
- Museum of Cinema – 5€ entry
- Casa Masó – 5€ entry
- Art Museum – 4.50€ entry
- Cathedral Treasury Museum – 7€ entry
- Archaeology Museum of Catalonia – 4.50€ entry
Finally, eating in Girona you can do very well, all restaurants advertise a 'menu del día' with prices ranging from 11-15 euros. There are also many bakeries selling freshly made sandwiches and pizzas.
Depending on your itinerary you may only spend half a day waking around this enchanting city; if you have no intention of visiting the museums, half a day is more than enough. I highly recommend a trip as it offers a tranquil break from the business and congestion of Barcelona.

Supreme Court Refuses to Delay Texas Execution
UPDATE: Humberto Leal was executed Thursday evening at a state prison in Huntsville, Texas. Prison officials pronounced him dead at 6:21 p.m. local time.
(WASHINGTON) -- A divided Supreme Court refused Thursday evening to delay the execution of a Mexican national on death row, despite pleas from top officials of the Obama administration.
Humberto Leal is scheduled to die Thursday night, and now only Texas Governor Rick Perry can delay the execution.
Leal argued that his rights were violated because he was never informed of his ability to seek legal assistance from the Mexican Consulate in violation of the Vienna Convention. The United States urged the Supreme Court to delay the execution long enough for Congress to pass legislation to facilitate U.S. compliance with consular notification and provide judicial review for Leal and others who were denied access.
But Justice Antonin Scalia, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Anthony Kennedy and Justice Clarence Thomas rejected the administration's request.
"We are doubtful" wrote Scalia, "that it is ever appropriate to stay a lower court judgment in light of un-enacted legislation. Our task is to rule on what the law is, not what it might eventually be."
The majority criticized the government for claiming that the execution could cause grave international consequences. "Congress evidently did not find these consequences sufficiently grave to prompt its enactment of implementing legislation, and we will follow the law as written by Congress."
Justice Stephen Breyer, writing a dissent joined by Justices Elena Kagan, Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said he would have granted a delay of the execution.
Breyer writes that the majority "ignores the appeal of the President in a matter related to foreign affairs, it substitutes its own views about the likelihood of congressional action for the views of Executive Branch officials who have consulted with Members of Congress."
Leal is currently in state prison in Huntsville, Texas, awaiting his execution. He's been given his last meal of fried chicken, pico de gallo, tacos and fried okra.
Sandra L. Babcock, Leal's attorney issued a statement saying, "Today the United States stumbled in its commitment to the rule of law. Mr. Leal, tragically, will suffer the consequences. He will be executed tonight, despite the fact that his right to consular assistance was violated. If he had had the assistance of the Mexican consulate at the time of trial, Mr. Leal would have had a meaningful opportunity to show that he was not guilty of capital murder."

Last week, I shared 5 Must-See TED Talks for Nonprofit Leaders, but as this blog is devoted to both for- and non-profit organizations driven by a cause, I wanted to give equal time to my social enterprise peeps.
While both traditional businesses and nonprofits have been around for a long time, social enterprises are still an emerging model. But, like you, I hope and believe that they are the future of business. Make money, and do good—at the same time? Yes, please! I can't wait to see what happens next in this movement.
And because I want you to also have fun and be successful, here are five TED Talks that I think will encourage social enterprise leaders, and employees, on their way to making a meaningful impact.
(PS: You don't have to work at a social enterprise to like them!)
1. Tony Robbins: Why we do what we do
This speech will help you find, or remember, why you lead or work at a social enterprise. It's educational and motivational. It can be difficult to remember your "why" when funds are low, days are spent combing through email, you feel unappreciated or distracted, meetings never seem to end, or you're just caught up in the day-to-day of work. Sometimes we remember the "why" all on our own, and sometimes it takes someone to intervene. If you need the latter, use this talk.
2. Elizabeth Gilbert: Your elusive creative genius
Whether you've reached your career-defining moment or not, you'll be encouraged by her talk. This is evidently the prelude to her latest, lovely memoir, Big Magic, and an opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. I believe many social entrepreneurs are "feelers" because they place the mission first. They're all about the business of improving lives, and while that can be attributed to the head, I think it's more likely attributed to the heart. Elizabeth gives us a way to deal with success, failure, and more importantly, the everyday in-between. I love her refrain to "keep showing up," and think you will too.
3. Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work
In this funny, 12-minute video Shawn will back up your theory that happy employees are better employees. And he reveals some incredibly interesting research that shows you how to think differently about success, because your views on success impact not only your happiness, but the happiness of those around you. Because these are two things that matter to each of us, I hope you'll pay attention. He's challenging us to create a new reality. Are you up for it?
4. Jacqueline Novogratz: Inspiring a life of immersion
If you've ever received any criticism, skepticism, strange looks, odd comments, or even raised eyebrows when you tell people about your work, you'll be interested in this talk. Though she tells a number of stories, I believe the theme of legacy is what binds them together. As a social entrepreneur, you're all about creating a better future, not just for yourself, but for others who need a partner or helping hand to make it so. Your work is designed to improve lives now, and for generations. You'll identify with her journey as you strive to live your own life of immersion.
5. Ricardo Semler: How to run a company with (almost) no rules
In some ways, a social enterprise is a hybrid between a traditional business and a nonprofit. This offers a lot of gifts, and a few challenges. And the social enterprises I know have two things in common. First, they all (obviously) choose to not to do business as usual. They want a more innovative environment, and want to run things a little differently. Second, there are usually at least a few people who have had more traditional business jobs, and therefore, bring that experience (or baggage) to the enterprise. Given these two things, creating a compelling office culture is vital in helping differentiate your organization and instill loyalty to your mission. In this talk, Ricardo is definitely a disruptor to traditional office culture. He may give you some ideas you want to explore, and maybe even a few you prefer to ignore. The point? You get to decide because it's your organization!
6. BONUS: Richard St. John: Success is a continuous journey
Part cautionary tale and part business lecture, this four-minute video will remind you to stay focused on why you started your organization: for your customers and the people your work benefits. Success is relative, but hopefully not fleeting. And second chances are available to all of us.
By the way, I spent the better part of a day watching talk after talk to bring you five+ that I thought would help you be a better social entrepreneur. Whew—grueling work, but I'm here for you! Did I miss any of your favorites?
I'm Kristi Porter, and I started Signify to provide writing, consulting and strategy services to nonprofits and for-profit organizations with a social mission, primarily through copywriting, marketing and business communications. I believe that cause-focused organizations like yours are the future of business. You're proof that companies can both make money and do good. And I'm here to help you get noticed and grow. When you succeed, we all win.

Middle School and High School Writing Assistance
As a certified teacher with 10 years' prior experience in the journalism field, I am particularly qualified to guide middle school and high school students toward becoming better writers, able to use written communication to express their own thoughts and pursue their own goals.
I combine Nancie Atwell's Lessons That Change Writers curriculum with supplementary materials (both published and self-generated) to address the six traits of high-quality writing: ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence flow and mechanics.
I work with both young people who struggle with writing and gifted students who want to be challenged to write with greater sophistication.
Contact me if you are a young person who needs or wants to become a more effective and expressive writer.

Nothing brings a room down more than wimpy window treatments. If you can't do them right, and I mean custom, leave your windows bare. Bare can be beautiful, especially if the view is right.
If you need to have privacy then this is where you put your extra bucks.
Be generous with your curtains. You'll find that readymade panels are too narrow, sometimes 48" to 52". A sin! At least 70" wide per panel. AT LEAST. (Actual dimensions dependent on the window width and height.)
Unless they are sheers, they must be lined. Off-the-shelf options are usually not lined and when hung they disappear against the wall or window. Why bother? We often line them with off white, but you need to consider how that works with the exterior. For certain projects a color or even another pattern might be appropriate on the backside, but interlining will need to be used.
Don't let them puddle. There was a time when that was in, but not in years. We call it "breaking" at the floor. Also, never cut them off at the bottom of a window unless there is something built in below the window.
Proper hemming, on the sides and bottom, will make them hang right. No rippling at the sides and enough weight at the bottom to help them hang in lovely pleats. Only in the most casual of circumstance, like a tent or a tree house (yep, we've decorated those) have we not used some type of pleat at the top of a drapery panel. We often even add pleats to our shower curtains for a finished look.
Now, here's our biggest drapery treatment pet peeve: hang your drapery rods high, at least 10" above the window frame, if you have the room. In most cases, hang as high as the architectural features in the space allow. The added benefit will be the height it brings to the ceiling. If you have low ceilings, drapery panels are the first thing we will add height to the design.

A photo after some photos for a project with Yoga Journal that I hope will be useful. Yoga is inherently powerful, because the very essence of the word is balance - a state of mastery. So what we mostly refer to as yoga is actually practice - a set of tools used to make yoga (balance) occur. Efficacy is in the application. I have sweet, small. sometimes a bit more extended moments in my practice during which I know that I'm singing, that I've been tuned.
Posts tagged #yoga friends
Workshops are seeds, the follow-up consistency and precision in application are the alchemy of growth, and the harvest is feeling the why sometime after you've earned it.
At LUX, yoga - and connection - is practiced mindfully, with attention to detail, and honed to meet each individual's strengths and abilities.
Upcoming Retreats:
August 15 - 21 (Bikram Method)

Whoa – seriously sweet! I can see why the instructions gave the number of teaspoons of tea for 75ml (about 3oz – I think?) of water. Like Turkish coffee, this stuff is strong, and it's clearly meant to be consumed in equally small quantities.
Three teaspoons per 75ml of hot water produces a very dark brew, but it's brown rather than black. It's incredibly sweet but you can also clearly taste the apple, and it's really pretty good. I'd like to try it a bit more watered down sometime, and I'm also extremely curious to see what it would be like iced. Part of me almost wants to try significantly increasing the proportion of tea to water but I can't think of a good reason for needing apple syrup for anything. g

A new Northamptonshire group which aims to protect women at risk of genital mutlation is appealing for volunteers to help.
The Female Genital Mutilation Action Group was recently set up to address the issues faced by women from communities who practise the procedure, to raise awareness, provide information, advice and support to help victims and to protect those at risk, with the ultimate aim to end the practice completely.
Northamptonshire is one of the top 10 places in the country where the procedure is most common, and Dana Hannon, chairman of the action group, said: "The group was formed out of a converstation with some Somali women who had undergone the procedure when they were children. They wanted to raise awareness of it, educate people about it, and ultimately stop the practice. They didn't let their children have it done and they wanted to raise awareness in their community."
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a collective term for all procedures which include the partial or total removal of the external female genital organs for cultural or other non-therapeutic reasons.
It is not like male circumcision and can cause long-term mental and physical suffering, difficulty in giving birth, infertility and even death.
The Northamptonshire FGM group, which is the umbrella group for the Northamptonshire honour based violence forum, is appealing for men, women and young people aged between 18 and 25 years old to volunteer to help the group reach out to communities as part of the groups's new pilot scheme, which is funded by the Home Office and will take place in Northampton.
Mrs Hannon said: "We want to help people open up a conversation on the subject in a sensitive way. We are appealing for volunteers to support us to get the pilot scheme recognized and then rolled out at a county-wide level."
Volunteers need to be good communicators and listeners and should have a good knowledge of FGM or be keen to learn about it.
THE new action group will help other communities, not just the Somali population.
Mrs Hannon added: "It's also about other practising communities including other African countries, Bahrain, Oman, as well as some Pakistani and Indian Bohra Muslims. It happens through many more communities of which we have a lot of here in Northamptonshire."
Survivor, Shukri Dhiabaas, who is working with the action group, said: "It was the most frightening and excruciatingly painful day of my life. Every day is still painful. I do not want my children to experience this. We need to stop this practice."
To get involved call Dana on 07832 104 319 or email email@example.com or
call Zahira Case on Northampton 947858 or email: email@example.com
The closing date to register interest is tomorrow and a training session will take place on Thursday, February 21.

Latest News
Commentary: Ray Bradbury and the gift of imagination
The movie version of "Fahrenheit 451" came out when I was a teenager, and had the virtue of most movies you remember most vividly: It isn't quite like anything else you've ever seen. It's directed (in English) by legendary French filmmaker Francois Truffaut, and stars Oskar Werner and a young Julie Christie in what might be the best performance of her career, a dual role as both a victim of mind control and a free-spirited rebel against it.
I read the 1953 Ray Bradbury novel not long afterward. Truffaut clearly took some artistic license with the story, but there's nothing unusual about that, nor does it diminish either work. (Think of Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick and "The Shining": Two colossal talents and colossal egos, and each thought his was the better work. They were both right.)
The only other Bradbury work I've read (I think) is "The Martian Chronicles," so I'm far from being an authority on Ray Bradbury, who died last week at 91. But "Fahrenheit 451" is one of those incredibly imaginative, and almost frighteningly accurate, artistic visions that don't come around much. Artistic imagination of any kind is impressive, but especially the visionary kind.
I've never considered myself a serious sci-fi geek; Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj would kick me off the "Big Bang" set. A college roommate and close friend was a "Dune" cultist, and he hounded me to read it for four years. (I have reliable word that the Frank Herbert novel bears little resemblance to that godawful movie. Not all directors can work Truffaut's kind of alchemy.) I escaped further "Dune" harassment only by graduating and moving a thousand miles away.
You could probably count on one hand the number of science fiction books I've read, or at least that I remember. But when I start flipping through favorite movies, "Forbidden Planet," "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "Logan's Run" and "Blade Runner" are all there. And I still think "2001: A Space Odyssey" (speaking of Stanley Kubrick) is one of the most visionary flicks ever made.
None of those, with the obvious exception of "2001," is in the same artistic league as "Fahrenheit 451." It's a story about, among many other things, book burning (the title supposedly refers to the ignition temperature of paper), and is set in a post-literate society where the written word is contraband and possessors of it are felons.
It anticipates such now-familiar creations as invasive electronic surveillance, "interactive" media -- which Bradbury depicted as the technology not of a communications and information revolution, but of a mind-control opiate -- and that broadcast lobotomy we call "reality" TV.
News stories following Bradbury's death say he always resisted being pigeonholed as a science fiction writer, and maintained that "Fahrenheit 451" was the only true sci-fi book he wrote. It's easy to guess what he meant, just as it's easy to understand King when he bristles at being called a horror novelist. It means their respective bodies of work are broad and rich enough to defy such simple characterization.
That Bradbury wrote for "The Twilight Zone" is something I didn't know, but it helps explain why Rod Serling's classic series was (and still is) so much better than most of the dreck on TV.
Steven Spielberg called Bradbury "my muse for the better part of my sci-fi career," and it surely can't be mere coincidence that Spielberg cast Truffaut as scientist Claude Lacombe in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
One account of Bradbury's later life portrays him as an old man who never lost a young man's imagination. Every other artist, and the rest of us for that matter, could do a lot worse.

Regan Scarf
Regan Scarf
Regan is a scarf in herringbone wool, wine silk, black leather, and antique brass. Ascendant and beautifully singular, the Regan scarf snaps together into a variety of elegant positions.
Subtle variations in lining color shown here; please indicate any preferences at checkout.
This scarf made and worn to reflect on those people in our lives who strive for erudition. For me, someone I call Regan.
Maybe you can relate to the idea of going to a public track to workout or run because you know that being around faster people will force you to run faster too. This is sort of what it's like talking to Regan. People have told me that I'm intelligent, or that I can think abstractly; Regan is far more intelligent, and she manipulates abstractions like an artist with clay. Every conversation I have with Regan feels like those runs in the park, where maybe it seems like I'm keeping up with the faster runner, a shoulder behind in pretense of not getting too close. I may be able to fool some runners, but Regan probably knows better.
You sometimes see conversations and article headlines to the effect of "these successful people learned all their skills outside of college—is school even necessary?" It's the wrong question, but it's worth considering the answer: while all the tools and technical skills required of the work I do now I too learned outside of scholarship, its only through proper erudition that I developed the mindset required to use them effectively.
Regan was like that runner I saw sprinting past from behind, at a time when an overzealous work ethic in my late teens left me a bit burnt out in college. A time when instead of running I started slowing down, walking almost. Seeing her has inspired me to keep running, motivated to acquire abstract knowledge to intangible ends—ultimately building the mindset I've needed to do the things I work at today. Perhaps you too can find the people who inspire you to keep learning, pursuing the abstract and esoteric, because all the newest tools in the world are of little use without the context and perspective necessary to use them intelligently.

SETHNESS ROQUETTE liquid Caramel Colors, Class I Caramelized Sugar Syrups and powdered Caramel Colors are used in a variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage applications including:
Caramel Color is the most widely used colorant in the soft drink industry. Because of the low pH of most carbonated beverages, SETHNESS ROQUETTE Class IV Caramel Colors are commonly used because of their acid stability. In addition to providing excellent reddish to brown hues, Caramel Color can enhance the foaming characteristics, mouthfeel, and flavor of soft drinks.
In soft drink concentrates, Caramel Color has an emulsifying effect with flavor oils, and helps to eliminate the formation of certain types of "floc". The light protective quality of Caramel Color also assists in preventing oxidation of the flavoring components in bottled beverages. SETHNESS ROQUETTE Caramel Colors are also very stable in various processing and packaging conditions.
Beverage manufacturers sometimes use the terms "single strength" and "double strength". These terms describe the relative color strength of Caramel Color and may cover different ranges of color. Double strength Caramel Color (SETHNESS ROQUETTE DSL4) was originally developed for use in dietetic beverages. The goal was to reduce the caloric content contributed by the Caramel Color to about 25% of that contributed by a single strength color (SETHNESS ROQUETTE S190). However, double strength Caramel Color also offers greater cost efficiency, which has contributed to its rapid acceptance.
Recently many carbonated soft drink users have switched to SETHNESS ROQUETTE DSL4 Low 4-MeI liquid Caramel Color in order to comply with Prop 65 in California.
Class I Caramel Colors may not work in any colas containing phosphoric acid, but can potentially be utilized in beverages containing citric acid.
Important considerations in choosing Caramel Colors for teas are tannins, pH, and acids present. How a tea is made – natural or tea-flavored – will determine the class of Caramel Color to use. For natural teas, negative ion charged SETHNESS ROQUETTE Class I, Class II and Class IV Caramel Colors are compatible with most tannins from the tea leaves which results in a clear solution. On the occasion that the Class IV caramel has a poor interaction with the tea tannins, a Class III caramel may be a better choice. For tea flavors, all classes of Caramel Color can be considered for use. While all classes of SETHNESS ROQUETTE Caramel Colors are stable at low pH levels, Caramel Color interaction with various acids in teas can be varied and lead to haze problems.
Red toned Caramel Colors with higher hues are recommended for most tea applications, while Class IV Caramel Colors are widely used for their strong, dark color in liquid ready-to-drink tea applications.
Yellow-toned Caramel Colors YT25 and YT90 are preferred for ready-to-drink lemonades and lemonade mixes. SETHNESS ROQUETTE Class I Caramel Colors are recommended for their excellent yellow tones and foaming properties.
For fruit drinks such as apple juice, cranberry juice, tomato vegetable blends, and more, SETHNESS ROQUETTE Caramel Colors are chosen to standardize or enhance the color. How a fruit drink is produced, whether it is made from natural fruit or fruit-flavored, can influence the best Caramel Color choice. The presence of tannins and pH are important in the Caramel Color selection. Negatively charged SETHNESS ROQUETTE Class I, Class II and Class IV Caramel Colors are better suited for real fruit beverages, due to their compatibility with the tannins from the ripe fruit. For fruit-flavored drinks, all SETHNESS ROQUETTE Caramel Colors are good options. All classes of SETHNESS ROQUETTE Caramel Colors are stable at low pH levels. However, some caramel colors may have poor interaction with some acids present in the fruit drink.
Caramel Colors can serve as a major cost-saving alternative in powdered drink mixes. From flavored coffee/cappuccino mixes to hot chocolate mixes, SETHNESS ROQUETTE Class IV powdered Caramel Colors can act as an extender and provide the rich, robust brown color these applications require. SETHNESS ROQUETTE liquid Class III Caramel Colors have some of the flavor characteristics of coffee and are an excellent choice in spray-dried applications. SETHNESS ROQUETTE Caramel Colors are also used in flavored powdered coffee creamers. Typically Class I and III are suggested in dairy applications. Caution should be taken when blending Caramel Colors with flavor or milk in a coffee drinks, as ionic properties may cause haze or even settlement.
Please contact the SETHNESS ROQUETTE technical team for more specific application guidance.

SIVA management team
Founder of SIVA Plastics Limited, Gurjinder was appointed as Chairman of the Board in 2000 when he handed over Managing Directorial duties to wife, Neelu.
In 1979, using the engineering and management skills he had developed at Westland Helicopters and the Ford Motor Company in the 1960s and '70s, Gurjinder took the bold step of starting his own business with Neelu - and SIVA Plastics was born. Throughout the 1980s they developed the business by purchasing, installing and operating a range of bag-making machines, notably the first PE blown film line and, of course, by delivering good quality service. A number of both mono and co-ex lines followed and were commissioned under his guidance.
Married with three children and, at the latest count, nine grandchildren, Gurjinder's interests outside Siva include gardening, cooking and golf.
Bobby Mehta became Managing Director in 2017 and is responsible for both the day-to-day running of the company and developing business plans for its long-term future.
Bobby joined SIVA in 1988, spending his first three years in Sales before moving into Account Management. In 1991, he assumed additional responsibilities with regard to the planning and purchasing of primary raw materials. He became Sales Director in 1993 charged with driving the organic growth of Siva through the expansion of the organisation's manufacturing capabilities.
In 2000, Bobby became Commercial Director and was tasked with the commercial and strategic development of the group.
His focus today is on driving the business forward in product development, capacity growth and innovation.
Aside from spending most of his time at Siva, family is very important to Bobby. He is married and kept busy with his five children. Fitness and personal welfare rank highly along with a positive attitude to nutrition and a healthy regime of exercise.
Babna Mehta-Athwal is Siva's Finance Director. Appointed in 1996, she is primarily responsible for managing the Group's financial risks alongside its planning, record-keeping and reporting activities.
Babna joined Siva in 1989 as Logistics Clerk before becoming Company Secretary in 1994 with responsibility for reporting to the Directors as well as HR and Health and Safety - indeed she believes in prioritising the health and safety of Siva above all.
She has two daughters and her personal life is filled with aerobics and combat keep-fit classes and running.
Neelu Mehta is Chief Executive Officer of Siva Group. Neelu's working life began when SIVA Plastics was founded in 1979.
Instrumental in its success as she supervised the sales, administration and production of products in the early years, she continues to take an active role in the business with a hands-on management style. From the beginning, Neelu recognised that exceeding customers' expectations was the key to building a successful, long-term business for her family. Today she regards everyone at Siva as part of the family, which inspires loyalty and the same positive, can-do approach from everyone.
Away from Siva Neelu is a keen gardener and keep-fit fan with a passion for her Power Plate!
Viji was appointed Marketing Director of the Group in 2003. He has been instrumental in realigning Siva's business focus towards high-impact consumer packaging.
He joined Siva in 1997 as Marketing Manager having gained a BA (Hons) in Business Administration and an MA in Marketing and was primarily responsible for sales and product development for both UK and export markets.
Married with three children, Viji is a keen golfer and reports Pebble Beach as the best golf course he has ever played.
Adrian has been Siva's Technical Director since 2004 and is responsible for the successful creation and delivery of our products by managing the technical risks and opportunities.
Before joining Siva, Adrian worked for Anglo American Corporation, Gold and Uranium Division (Mining), working in production/technical management on various gold plants in South Africa's Free State. His first role with Siva in 1991 was as Production Manager and, later, as Operations Manager.
Adrian is married with two children and his hobbies include squash and golf.

Yes, it's that time of year- when the world's easiest news story is about some roofer ripping people off. This time the market hasn't been overrun with out-of-town storm chasers, since we haven't had any major hailstorms here, all those guys are busy elsewhere, but there's still plenty of home-grown scam artists taking advantage of consumers. Not only is it a bad idea to pay up front before any work is done, make sure you get a lien release from the supplier before paying after the job, to make sure that your contractor has paid for the materials….best advice is to stick with a reputable, established contractor!

Trends are still in line. The debt watch is now on downgrade and this only makes the economic system's reliance on gold as the loan of first recourse that much more significant. Silver's worth is derived from the same ability as gold's; it is a real asset. The US Fed/Treasurie was forced long ago to leverage these assets, and now in order for the system to stay in line, they must let them appreciate.
The dollar had a bounce today, but with its proprietor in the cross hairs, it looks to be the first in line to take the brunt of the force that will happen when the downgrade does occur. Everything is at the forefront now. The end game has been established. The rating will be downgraded.
The AAA rating is in place because the US houses the reserve currencie. Logic dictates this, for if the world reserve currencie was downgraded, the world goes with it. There will be one of two outcomes 1) the debt is downgraded and the dollar gives up its status in nominal terms, or 2) the US concedes the status and a new currencie is issued to replace it. Both will put finance into a new paradigm. Both have the same result. The capitulation of the Keynesian policy is at hand, and with it, the dollar.

Exercise is a great way to lose and manage body weight, but working out also comes with tons of other benefits. It helps your body release endorphins, a type of neurotransmitter that makes you feel happy and calm. It also increases mental clarity and focus, reduces stress, and improves self-esteem and self-confidence. (Yes, please!) If this list makes you want to start working out right now, you can! Getting in shape does not require a gym membership or a collection of at-home exercise equipment.
Here are some of my favorite ways to work out without spending a lot or going too far:
1. Walking. More than 2,400 years ago, Hippocrates said, "Walking is a man's best medicine." It's a great, low-impact cardiovascular exercise. Long distance walking (45 minutes to 1 hour or more) is great for fat burning. Make a goal of 10,000 steps per day for overall health, stable blood sugar (helps with energy and curbing cravings) and weight loss or maintenance.
2. Hiking. Grab a friend or family member and head to your nearest nature trail. If you're not sure of the closest hiking area, check online. Hiking is a great way to enjoy and explore the outdoors (if the weather allows for it), without putting too much pressure on your joints. One hour of hiking can burn 500 or more calories depending on the incline and weight you might be carrying in your backpack. Long-distance hiking can also decrease blood pressure and cholesterol and may improve anti-oxidative capacity, which helps fight off disease and lower stress.
3. Jumping Rope. Jumping rope is fun and it works your upper and lower body at the same time. It's also a great way to get your heart rate up and burn calories quickly when you're in a time crunch. It's best to jump rope on a wood floor or an impact mat to reduce stress on the joints. For best results, perform 50-200 reps on the jump rope (3-5 sets), intermixed with a strength-training program (see below).
4. Stairs. Stair climbing can actually burn more calories per minute than jogging. It promotes weight loss and muscle tone and strengthens your lungs and heart. A 120-pound person walking up the stairs for 30 minutes burns an estimated 220 calories. Even two flights of stairs climbed per day can lead to six pounds of weight loss per year.
5. Yoga. Yoga is great for lengthening and strengthening muscles. It helps to build your core strength, while improving your balance and flexibility. You can do yoga using a DVD, an online video or a written guide (found online or in a book). You can also check local listings for "donation only" yoga classes that don't require you to pay a fee.
6. Wii Fit, Xbox Kinect and Other Fitness Games: Fitness games combine entertainment with activity to make working out feel like less of a chore. You can do them with friends, too. They help the time pass quickly, and before you know it, you'll have completed your workout!
7. Strength Training. Using your own body weight can be just as difficult, if not more difficult, than using workout machines at the gym. I recommend incorporating strength training at least twice per week into your fitness routine. Here is a starter plan for strengthening your entire body.
Lunges or lunge jumps: 20 reps on each leg, two to three sets.
Squats or squat jumps: 20 reps, two to three sets.
Push-ups: 10 reps, two to three sets. Make sure you use proper form. If you have poor form at first, do the push-ups on your knees until you improve your strength.
Pull-ups: Do as many as you can, with a goal of 3-10 reps. It's best if you can have a friend assist you and help hold your legs, or they can give you a boost if need be. Don't strain your back or neck trying to do more pull-ups than you can at first. Do what you feel comfortable with and build your strength from there.
Tricep dips: 10-12 reps, two to three sets. This can be done on a chair or bench in your home or at a local park.
Bicycle crunches: 20 reps, two sets.
Core plank: Hold the position for 30 seconds, with 2-3 reps. Your elbows should be directly below your shoulders. Hold your core tight and make sure there is a straight line from your head to your toes. To keep good form, avoid sticking your butt in the air or allowing it to sink too far towards the floor.
Side plank: Hold this position on your right side for 20 seconds, and then hold on your left side for 20 seconds. Repeat for a total of two sets.
"Supermans": Lie flat on your stomach, arms stretched out above your head, legs straight back. Lift arms and legs off the ground several inches at the same time, then lower back down. Do 10 reps, two to three sets. This exercise is great for strengthening your lower back, a muscle that is often weak and missed in most workouts.
Get Going and Keep it Up!
It's easy to get started with a new exercise routine, but it can be harder to stick with it over time. To set yourself up for long-term success and ensure you get ALL the perks you want from your new fitness plan, try these tips!
Create a support network. People are more likely to stay on track toward their fitness goals if they have friends and family keeping them accountable and helping them along the way. A workout partner can make sure you don't miss a walk or a yoga session. You can ask your parents to help by buying healthy foods for the house and maybe a new pair of athletic shoes!
Start slow and set reasonable goals for yourself. Maybe you want to work your way up to 60 minutes of exercise a day. You don't have to get there today or this week. You can set mini goals — 30 minutes, 35 minutes, 40 minutes — so that you get there gradually. You'll find that you gain more endurance, too.
Eat enough, drink enough water and get some rest! Working out feels great, and you may feel inspired to push yourself to the max. But overdoing it can cause exhaustion and dehydration, which can actually set you back in reaching your fitness goals. Make sure to nourish yourself along the way!

In Hindu mythology, Uchchaihshravas (Sanskrit: उच्चैःश्रवस् Uccaiḥśravas or उच्चैःश्रवा Uccaiḥśravā, "long-ears" or "neighing aloud"[1]) is a seven-headed flying horse, created during the churning of the milk ocean. It is considered the best of horses, prototype and king of horses.[2] Uchchaihshravas is often described as a vahana ("vehicle") of Surya - the Sun-God, but is also recorded to be the horse of Bali, the king of Asuras. Uchchaihshravas is said to be snow white in colour.
Legends and textual references[edit]
The Mahabharata mentions that Uchchaihshravas rose from the Samudra manthan ("churning of the milk ocean") and Indra - the god-king of heaven seized it and made it his vehicle (vahana). He rose from the ocean along with other treasures like goddess Lakshmi - the goddess of fortune, taken by god Vishnu as his consort and the amrita - the elixir of life.[3] The legend of Uchchaihshravas, rising from the milk ocean also appears in the Vishnu Purana, the Ramayana, the Matsya Purana, the Vayu Purana etc. While various scriptures give different lists of treasures (ratnas) of those appeared from the churning of the milk ocean, most of them agree that Uchchaihshravas was one of them.[4][5]
Uchchaihshravas is also mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita (10.27, which is part of the Mahabharata), a discourse by god Krishna - an avatar of Vishnu - to Arjuna. When Krishna declares to be the source of the universe, he declares that among horses, he is Uchchaihshravas - who is born from the amrita.[6] The 12th century Hariharacaturanga records once Brahma, the creator-god, performed a sacrifice, out of which rose a winged white horse called Uchchaihshravas. Uchchaihshravas again rose out of the milk ocean and was taken by the king of the demons (Asura) Bali, who used it to attain many impossible things.[7] The Vishnu Purana records when Prithu was installed as the first king on earth, others were also given kingship responsibilities. Uchchaihshravas was then made the king of horses.[8]
The Mahabharata also mentions about a bet between sisters and wives of Kashyapa - Vinata and Kadru about the colour of Uchchaihshravas's tail. While Vinata - the mother of Garuda and Aruna said it was white, Kadru said it was black. The loser would have to become a servant of the winner. Kadru told her Naga ("serpent") sons to cover the tail of the horse and thus make it appear as black in colour and thus, Kadru won.[3][4] The Kumarasambhava by Kalidasa, narrates that Uchchaihshravas, the best of horses and symbol of Indra's glory was robbed by the demon Tarakasura from heaven.[9]
Devi Bhagavata Purana narrates that once Revanta, the sun-god Surya's son came to god Vishnu's abode, riding Uchchaihshravas. Seeing Uchchaihshravas - her brother's brilliant form, Lakshmi was mesmerized and ignored a question asked by Vishnu. Suspecting that Lakshmi lusted for Uchchaihshravas and thus ignored him, Vishnu cursed her to be born as a mare in her next birth.[3]

Learn how to make sauerkraut, other fermented veggies
Q: I just harvested my cabbage. How do I make sauerkraut?
Carol B., Atascadero
A: Sauerkraut is easy to make in your home kitchen. You mix sliced cabbage with an easy-to-make brine of salt and water and let it ferment for several weeks at room temperature. You will need to use some type of weight to hold the cabbage under the brine. You will know it's fermenting when bubbles begin rising throughout the jar.
Fermentation inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and supports the right kind of bacteria that produces the acid needed for fermentation. Even though fermentation is an easy process, it is important you follow a scientifically tested recipe to make sure the chemistry is right to inhibit the growth of any harmful bacteria.
Many vegetables can be fermented. If you are growing napa cabbage, you can make a delicious kimchi. Cucumbers made into pickles is one of the most common. Another popular fermented product is kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented drink made with water, sugar, tea and a culture or SCOBY (a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). SCOBYs are best purchased from a reputable source to minimize risk of contaminants, such as molds or harmful bacteria that could cause illness.
Would you like to learn more about fermentation and how to make sauerkraut and kombucha at home? Have you tried making fermented foods at home and wondered whether certain "scums" and funky smells are foods going bad or just science at work?
Register for our upcoming workshop on Saturday. It will be held in the UCCE Auditorium next to the parking lot at 2156 Sierra Way in San Luis Obispo. There will be a $5 charge to cover class supplies, and you must register at http://ucanr.edu/fermentation as space is limited. If you have any questions regarding the class or general preserving questions, please call the UCCE Master Food Preserver Helpline at 805-781-1429 and leave a message or email the UCCE Master Food Preservers at email@example.com.
Tami Reece is a UCCE Master Food Preserver.

Create your own half dragon and half human character! 😀
2018-04-10: Small update, drag and drop items have the top layer selected as default now!
Here's the flash version of the Dragon Girl Creator! If you're having difficulties playing the HTML5 version, this may work better. Other differences are:
– Does NOT work on mobile devices, only desktop
– Contains drag and drop items (I have yet to find a way to make them function properly in javascript, they causes severe slowdown and are badly bugged in the HTML5 ones)
– Longer loading time, please be patient!
– In general more stable than HTML5
Please remember to enable flash, if you can't see the game at all, it's most likely disabled. Follow the appropriate guide for your browser to enable it:
For Chrome: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-chrome.html
For Firefox: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-firefox.html
For Safari: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-safari.html
If you can't play the flash version, there's two other versions available:
HTML5 (should work on all devices): https://www.missangestgames.com/dragon-girl-creator/
App for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.missangestgames.DragonCreatorAIR
Now, for news in this game (same as HTML5 but it seems that I have to repeat it anyway):
1. Item selection works a bit differently in this game. For items where you can remove them (for example: the wings or horns, not noses or basic clothing), you press the button containing the item that is currently on the character and it will be removed (or you simply press any button twice).
2. Some items will share color palettes. If a color palette is shared, you will see a small paintbrush symbol at the corner of the item selection. If you press a button for an item in another item selection, the paintbrush will move to that area, showing you that the color palette is now applying to that item. The shared color palette will always be the one on top (unless it's both palettes).
You may post this game on your website, the link for it is: https://www.missangestgames.com/wp-content/uploads/games/DragonCreator.swf
