Food editor Heather Garvin wows crowds with delicious okra recipes
Did you make it to the Wine + Food Festival this weekend? It seems like all of Charleston (and beyond!) came out for the affair, including Charleston Home food editor Heather Garvin. She delivered one of the freshest cooking demos around, whipping up delicious okra dishes inspired by a spring veggie article in our upcoming Spring/Summer issue (due on newsstands in just two weeks! Keep an eye out.). Her crispy Buttermilk Fried Okra took under ten minutes to prepare and, as we learned from a few members of the audience, was just the thing to turn self-professed okra-haters into big-time fans. And yet the Quick Okra Succotash might have been an even bigger hit. A sauté of lima beans, corn, and tomatoes had Wine and Fooders coming back for seconds.
For those of you who missed it, check out the recipes below. But first, I want to share one little anecdote: a gentleman in the front row of Heather's demo was one of those unabashed okra haters I spoke of. His wife said that when he was in nursery school, he was made to eat the Southern veggie at lunch. Naptime followed, and his teacher—noting something strange about his appearance—leaned down to where he was curled up. "What is in your mouth?" she asked. He pulled his lower lip down to reveal the okra, which he just couldn't will himself to swallow. End of the story? Heather's recipes were a game-changer for him. He ate up everything we passed his way. Of course, I didn't ask him for proof.
Enjoy our all-star okra dishes, and be sure and look for these and more recipes for your fresh veggies in the upcoming issue.
Buttermilk Fried Okra
{Serves 4-6}
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground mustard
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Fresh whole okra (about 24 pieces)
Canola oil, for frying
Sift all of the dry ingredients together. Whisk in the buttermilk and use batter immediately.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat (do not let oil smoke), heat enough oil to submerge okra. Dip okra in batter one at a time, leaving tops exposed, and coat well. Drop into preheated oil and cook for 30-40 seconds, until pale brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately alongside a creamy herb or remoulade dipping sauce.
Cook's note:
This is a versatile batter delicious with any garden fresh veggie. Try it with zucchini, squash, or eggplant sliced no more than 1/2-inch thick to ensure the vegetable cooks all the way through.
Quick Okra Succotash
{Serves 4-6}
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into small pieces
1 Tbs. butter
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
12 pieces okra, both ends trimmed, sliced thinly crosswise
1/2 cup shelled butter (or lima) beans, cooked
1 ear of corn, cooked and kernels removed
1 ripe tomato, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon for two to three minutes until lightly browned. Stir in the butter and, once melted, add the onion and okra. Cook for an additional three to four minutes until vegetables are tender, lowering the heat if necessary to avoid burning the bacon. Fold in the beans, corn, and tomato, stirring until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Once again, time has passed me by.. I suppose it is true what they say about time flying when you are having fun.
So here is a quick update, I am not to sure that anything inspirational or motivating will come of this, well maybe.
Let me begin with the weekend.
Wood Badge Staff Development #3 was this past weekend, and I think that while it may have not been the intention of the staff.. it seemed that we completely became a "High Performance Team" on Saturday. Ironically, a guest presenter practiced the Stages of Team Development presentation immediately after the Troop Guides practiced our Course presentation. It was all systems go after that, and without a doubt the team is heading to Gilwell ready and peaking.
After the training session we went to dinner at a local German restaurant called Der Rheinlander. It was a fantastic time. We relaxed over some nice food and awesome company, sang songs, and invited our spouses to join in the fun.
Sunday was dedicated to final Wood Badge prep for me as well as doing some things around the house. It was nice to spend the day hanging out with the kids and wife.
Three new Scouts came to the troop Monday night. One will not cross over to the Troop till October. He has a few things left to wrap up for his AOL, but then he will join us. The other two are ready to go and will be with us on the upcoming camp out this weekend. It was nice to introduce them to their new patrol mates in the New Scout Patrol. They met their Troop Guide last night and learned how to pitch a tent, get a menu planned, and how to adjust their backpacks. So its right into it for them. It's nice to see the growth. New guys coming, and older Scouts stepping up and leading…. isn't that how it's supposed to be? Yeah.
Which leads me to I guess the motivational part of it. I had to have a chat last night with the Patrol leaders. It seemed that the edge is not there for the up coming camporee. We talked about the three components of leadership. That is to say that a Leader provides Purpose, Direction, and Motivation. They needed to find that in themselves and in their patrols to be successful. No one in the troop wants to come in second at Camporee.. they at least want to compete, but without the drive or purpose and direction, they will lack the motivation to accomplish the tasks that will lead them to the success they are looking for.
Well, they all agreed they need to get back on the horse and motivate their patrols. PLC will meet next week and we will see what they come up with.
Like I said, time flys when you are having fun…
Hey tomorrows podcast features a great discussion about Youth Protection and how it effected Recharter this year. Joining me are the District Commissioner and Program Vice Chair of the Thunderbird District. I think you will enjoy it.
Let me know what you think.. leave a comment or feedback.. or drop an email.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Shopping around Moosehead LakeThursday, July 5th, 2007
As you enter Maine from the South, your first shopping stop would be the Kittery Outlets (which we personally prefer). An hour up I-95 is Freeport . . . you guessed it L.L. BEAN. While in Freeport if hunger strikes . . . start your North Woods experience by snacking at the Broad Arrow Tavern (another personal favorite!!) at the Harraseeket Inn. Once in Greenville you'll find a variety of shops…rustic antiques to casual clothing. And, here at the Lodge you'll find Miss Elaine E. Moose's Moo-see-um, a moosterly arranged miscellaneum of take home gifts! If you are traveling to or from the White Mountains, you'll find great Outlet Shopping in North Conway which is tax free. Keep in mind that the majority of merchants will ship for you . . . be sure to ask! We do & they should.

Heart failure is a condition caused by an abnormality in the structure or the function of the heart. The failing heart is unable to pump normal quantities of blood to the tissues of the body. Often heart failure leads to fluid retention in the lung and the body cavities leading to the condition called "congestive heart failure."
There are many causes of heart failure in dogs and cats, including: birth (congenital) defects of the heart, degeneration of the heart valves, heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy), heartworm disease, diseases of the pericardium (the lining around the heart), and irregular electrical rhythms of the heart (arrhythmia).

Click on the table headers to sort the rows.
Click in a cell to edit the data.
Your table rows can now be paginated. This is very nice to have with huge tables especially since TableGear can slow down significantly when it has too many rows to work with (remember, it's doing a lot!).
The concept of adding new rows on any page of a paginated table is a bit nonsensical, or at least counter-intuitive as a user experience, but it's also a convenience that's hard to throw out. In any case, the "addNewRows" parameter can turn off this feature, so I leave the decision up to you!

The popularity of biscuit joiners seems to grow on a daily basis. It's no surprise, since biscuits are an easy, fast and strong joinery technique. Thinking of adding a biscuit joiner to your shop? There's quite a price swing in the field. You can spend from under $100 to $800. Whether it's price or features, each machine has something to offer. If you're ready to "take the plunge," so to speak, and buy a biscuit joiner, here's some helpful buying advice.
Why Use a Biscuit Joiner?
If you've used dowels to reinforce a joint, raise your hand. If, after struggling to assemble the parts you doweled together you swore you'd never use dowels again, raise
your hand. Hmm, same hands go up. Dowels are plenty strong, but they're fussy to get aligned properly. Biscuits, on the other hand, are much easier to install. They can also be used in many of the same places as dowels. Think of a biscuit as a simple way to add a spline to a joint. Even if you miss your mark when cutting the biscuit slot, the parts will still go together because biscuits are very forgiving when it comes to side-to-side alignment. They also provide dead-on registration of part surfaces. That aspect is where biscuit joiners really shine. The tool's fence registers both joint surfaces accurately every time, and the biscuit strengthens the joint — just like a dowel would.
One of my primary uses for a biscuit joiner is fastening solid wood edging to plywood. As the veneer on plywood gets thinner, getting perfect alignment between the solid wood and the plywood becomes more critical. If the solid ends up below the veneer, you've really got problems. If the solid ends up higher than the veneer, you've got lots of sanding to do. A biscuit joiner can virtually guarantee perfect alignment.
Miter joints are another ideal place for biscuits. By themselves, there isn't any mechanical connection between the two halves of the joint. There also isn't much surface area for glue. And, in solid wood, you're gluing end grain to end grain, which doesn't provide the best bond. Using a biscuit joiner on mitered parts is a great way to solve all three problems. The biscuits add strength to the joint and prevent the two halves from slipping past each other as you apply clamp pressure.
I've got a toolbox I use when teaching away from my own school that's full of nooks, crannies and cubbies. When I built it 15 years ago, I butt joined all the pieces and used biscuits to hold them together. Today, with lots of miles on the toolbox, every joint is still rock-solid, thanks to the 75 biscuits that hold the box together. Butt joints, where you can't or don't want to cut dadoes, are a great application for
biscuits. Keep in mind, though, that a biscuit joint isn't quite as strong as a dado or rabbet joint.
How about cutting in a patch using your biscuit joiner? Although the special blade required for this only works on Lamello joiners, it's so cool I had to show it to you. Say you get a sand-through on veneered material. Simply place centering marks over the bad spot, install the blade in the machine, and plunge the cut. Patch material that perfectly fits into the cut is available in a variety of wood species. Since we're talking about the Lamello, here's another feature that's only offered on the Top 20 model. A micro-adjust allows you to dial the cutter position up or down without changing the fence. If you need to join offset pieces, this feature is worth its weight in gold.
What's Cooking with Biscuits?
Most of us are familiar with the usual suspects in the biscuit world: #0, #10 and #20 biscuits. But biscuits have come a long way, baby. In today's biscuit slots, you can: install a hinge, use knockdown fasteners, use a biscuit that acts like a clamp, reinforce a miter and assemble composite materials.
Shopping for a Joiner
You can't beat a test drive when it comes to buying tools. I recommend you handle as many biscuit joiners as you can before deciding which one is best for you.
Handle Styles
You can choose between a barrel grip, where you're actually grabbing the body of the machine, and the D-handle style.
You'll want to buy a machine that fits comfortably in your hand, so it's best to grab ahold of a few tools to see what you like best. I prefer the barrel grip style.
Fence Features
Look for a fence that can be set at both 45 and 135 degrees; this allows you to register the machine on either the inside face or outside face of a mitered joint, which maximizes your options when assembling the pieces.
It's best if the fence pivots, making it adjustable to any angle you want. Additionally, the fence should track up and down very easily while remaining parallel to the blade.
Look for a rack-and-pinion mechanism for adjusting the fence, a large angle scale and comfortable adjustment and lock knobs.
Smaller Blades for Tiny Joints
The 4"-diameter blade that's standard on most biscuit joiners is great for the typical #0, #10 and #20 biscuits. But if you want to use your biscuit joiner for smaller work, such as narrow face frames and picture frames, you need to use a smaller blade and smaller biscuits. You can't just put the small blade on any biscuit joiner. The plunge
mechanism on the machine has to be able to work with the smaller blade. If you want the flexibility of using smaller biscuits, make sure your joiner can be retrofitted as needed for this purpose.
A biscuit joiner will add speed, accuracy and strength to your jointbuilding jobs. If you're like most woodworkers I've talked with over the years, once you own one, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Family: Scolopacidae, Sandpipers view all from this family
Description ADULT In summer plumage, has rich brown upperparts marked with dark spots and streaks on back. Underparts are whitish, but boldly marked with dark spots; these are particularly intense on throat and chest. Note the dark eyestripe and pale white supercilium. Bill is pale pinkish orange and legs are more pinkish yellow. In winter plumage, upperparts are uniform gray-brown. Head is mainly buffy brown, but note pale supercilium and throat. Chest is buffy brown and note clear demarcation from otherwise white underparts. Bill is pale and legs are pale pink. JUVENILE Similar to winter adult, but note the black and buff barring on wing coverts.
Dimensions Length: 7 1/2" (19 cm)
Habitat Widespread and common in breeding season, typically found along stony or gravelly shores and steep banks of streams and lakes. Winters mainly in Central and South America but some linger in southern U.S., particularly on coasts. Migrants turn up on inland pools and lakes, and on coastal lagoons and estuaries.
Observation Tips Almost any unpolluted, relatively undisturbed stream or lake within summer range is likely to accommodate the species.
Range California, Plains, Eastern Canada, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Alaska, Great Lakes, Southwest, New England, Rocky Mountains, Northwest, Texas, Western Canada, Southeast
Voice Utters a sharp weet or peet-weet-weetÖ. Display song comprises whistling notes.
Discussion Widespread and familiar sandpiper with distinctive habits and unique and diagnostic summer plumage. Typically seen feeding on the margins of pools, streams, and lakes; as it walks, constantly bobs its body up and down. Usually flies low over water on bowed wings with shallow, rapid wingbeats; tail looks rather long and in fact, at rest, it extends well beyond wings. Feeds on aquatic invertebrates and is usually solitary. Sexes are similar.

Fowl Habit Outdoors has acquired a new property that is leased by the weekend or long weekend. This is a proven farm that is in a high traffic area for birds.
This is a perfect opportunity for an unguided hunt on a place that has the flexibility to be hunted several ways.
This property is located just north of Egypt. The farm has a 70 acre bean field with a 20' pit on it that will shoot 8 guys (I have hunted it myself). It also has a 35 acre rice field that will have a 5-man portable blind in the field. Both fields will have water and be set up to hunt. The distance between the pit and blind will be right at 500 yds, but you can move the blind if wanted on a daily basis. On the north end of the farm there is a 70 acre rice field that will be flooded and not hunted. It is owned by another landowner and does not have a pit on it. There are no other pits within sight of this farm.
Cost is $700 per day for the farm and you have access to the pit, blind
and can also use a LONG levy to hunt with layout blinds if you choose. This
would be great opportunity to bring 8 guys and hunt for less than $100 per day
on proven ground.
See picture above....That was from January 29, 2012 out of this pit--7 limits of ducks and 5
This year is shaping up to be a good one and with the early cold, there should be a good migration. We are running pumps right now in the Fowl Habit fields and are looking forward to a great season.

|Bluewater Extreme Test the limits of the fly fishing domain
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Bob - you NEED to show me how to tie that style of fly.
I wind up using too much material.
|Bob...TOO MUCH!!!!!... what a fish... I am saving that photo for my collection of photo's...

trolling flies
Nothing like a snowy day to get one browsing in places less frequented.
When it comes to trolling with flies I have little experience, but I one moment springs to mind. It was the first day of the fall trip to Harkers this year. Weather was shaky and we were all still in search mode trying to figure out where the albies might be. All the locals were reporting zippo in the usual places so Roop & I decided to head offshore working our way down the bight. Terrys boat called in a report of some bait & spanish macks in the area so wwe decided to set out a pair of boat rods to troll. Once we got those runnign right I decided it might be wise to drift a big fly down the middle with the 14wt.
Wasn't back there more than 3 minutes when we had a visitor come calling.
I can't say we actually learned anything by this and the success wasn't repeated. Did the lures attract the fish like teasers? Was it just a more natural presentation? (although all the prevailing baits in the water were silversides and we didn't see anything like this 8" long 6/0 pattern) I do see that I'll be trying it again this season for certain to see if I can find a pattern...
BTW I had the 14wt rigged with a 750gr and we were moving at about 3kts so I'd guess that this fly was running about 3-5ft below the surface.
|Hi Roop, I used a 10 weight, which was far too light. It does not cast very good, but like I said it is a trolling fly. Made it out of yarn so that it would hold water, not so much too sink. It has fairly large lead eyes. Knowing that when I usually get to go the others are using terminal gear. With a lot of time trolling around speed about 5-7 knots. What I tempted to do was have a fly that throws a lot of water, and that fly throws a roostertail, which is what I have been trying to achieve. Go with a rod 12 weight or over. I do have a 15 weight rod I built 3 or 4 years ago. It is a hard thing to decide what rod to setup as I also like to catch albacore, and mahi mahi, and usually have a better oportunity to catch them, and they need a lighter rod than a 15 weight. Lets get this Blue water rolling.
That's an interesting fly Art.
What kind of line were you casting that with? I see the yarn as being a great way to get the fly down, once it's wet but hard to pick up & cast?
Hope to use the new ride for chasing the schoolie BFT & sharks this season. Will definitely have something to offer to the forum then, most probably along the lines of a primer on "where NOT to go and what NOT to do" ....
|Art... I would love to get this forum going. There is so much to talk about and the flies are fantastic... I hope to do some Tuna fishing this year.... after reading Zane Geys world wide adventures with Marlin, sword fish and Tuna... a great 14 wt should really make for some action. Thanks for the posting the fly...now if I could get Bob Pink to post some of the tuna flies he used last season that were so successful we would have a great head start as well.
Tuna Trolling Fly
Here I go again. I saw the fly swap posted here from another board which I didn't want to get involved. There is not much posting under Bluewater. The reason I think, is because of the cost. I know it does effect me. I do not get much chance to go bluewater, but when I have I have always had a good time. Most of the trips I go on are when everything goes, flyfishing, or that other kind, what is it called terminal gear. I have managed though to get a fly in the water trolling. Years ago I noticed that tuna, yellowfins will hit the lures that are really throwing water behind a boat, and actually come right up to very close to the stern. I got fooling around with the fly pattern that I am posting. It is kind of like the parakeet fly, except it is made out of yarn, and very difficult to tie, but believe me it does work. Almost everytime I have gone I have had yellowfin on. How do I know there were yellowfin? because guys alongside using terminal gear landed some of them. I didn't, reason being fishing too light, 10 weight, and dirrect drive,usually ending in busted knuckles, boy! can those fish fight. I am looking forward to this year with a 15 weight rod, and a 12 weight anti-reverse reel. I am going to try from time to time to make this bluewater thread more interesting.

So I got to thinking. With the success of the Clone Wars Animated series, what would be some other cartoon projects you would like to see.
Here are a few I came up with.
1. Shadows of the Empire - A feature length cartoon or a mini-series with 5 half hour shows.
2. Pre Star Wars 'A New Hope' - A feature length cartoon based along the lines of the, now famous Radio Drama.
3. Heir to the Empire - 3 feature length cartoons based on the Zahn novels, or as I affectionatly call them Star Wars EP7, 8 and 9.
4. New Jedi Order - A series based on the war between the Galaxy and the Vong, with the main emphasis on the Jedi.
5. Knights of the Old Republic - A series based on the Old time Jedi Knights.
6. Boba Fett - A feature length cartoon based on Boba Fett pre-ANH.
I'm still not sure what kind of animation I would want to see for these. Maybe something highly detailed like Final Fantasy for the Heir to the Empire movies. Then GL could release them in Theaters. The others would be toned down and probably be straight to DVD releases.

Police hope DNA can help solve 50-year-old crime
Man was stabbed 53 times at gas station in 1963
APPLETON, Wis. - Winnebago County authorities are hoping advancements in DNA testing technology can help them solve a murder that happened 50 years ago.
In 1963, Wayne Pratt was stabbed 53 times at a gas station along U.S. Highway 41 between Neenah and Oshkosh. There were suspects, but authorities have yet to catch his killer.
The Appleton Post-Crescent reports DNA testing wasn't an option back then. But Winnebago County Sheriff John Matz said his department is now preparing to send evidence from the case to the state Crime Lab for testing. The hope is that DNA might link suspects to the crime.
Brian O'Keefe is administrator of law enforcement services for the Wisconsin Department of Justice. He said DNA testing is the No. 1 reason why cold cases are getting solved.

Project Description
Hi ProgrammierenWir, I noticed your profile and wanted to see if you could help me with my app for Android.
The app lets users use their smartphones TOUCH FREE.
The app uses frontal camera of the phone and locates user's eyes and using the algorithm, "sees" where user is looking at the screen.
The app can also see when user is blinking, therefore when user blinks, phone registers it as a tap. For example: user is looking at the Facebook icon, blinks and it opens.
I currently have a prototype: it can detect eye pupils, knows where user is looking and can open apps. BUT there are several problems:
1) it works only on Android 5 and lower now.
2) it takes a lot of time for the process; it takes many tries to actually open the app.
3) it only works on the homescreen, but as soon as you open the app it doesn't work anymore, so you can't open tabs or links.
4) Programmer needs to figure how to make it work in low lights, under angles etc.
I sometimes refer it to "technology" rather than an app because it is quite complex.
So overall I want it to work fast, make it work for Android 7 and make it able to work "inside" apps. Let me know what do you think :)

Celebration 3 is still a year away, but has already been extended to 4 days long as the largest Star Wars convention returns to Indianapolis April 21st through 25th, 2005. This gathering should prove to be quite impressive and exciting as it is being held only 3 weeks before the release of what might possibly be the last Star Wars movie ever. Already some forumites are making their plans for the SW Celebration in this thread, and SirSteve himself is trying to put together an SSG Forums Party during the convention.
So the question is, who here is planning to attend? How many folks are looking a year forward to this? Cast your vote now!

Why buy online?
Free shipping for purchases over $35
Free Shipping
All orders are shipped at "standard rate" cost. For United Kingdom that would mean £6.95. You will find the costs in your Shopping cart and your order overview, just before you place your order.

|From Icehouse Canyon
Date Climbed: Nov 12, 2006
|A very cool 7am start from the Icehouse Canyon trailhead. It was a beautiful day except that it was extremely windy and cold on the summit. It's a beautiful summit with a variety of panoramic views if you walk to each edge. I followed this peak up with Ontario Pk and Bighorn Pk. Great day in the San Gabriel high country!

Dayhiked a long time ago. The only thing I remember from the hike was that it was really smoggy.

|Tons of People, then nobody
Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2006
|We arrived at the Icehouse Canyon trailhead at 8:15 only to find the parking lot totally packed. There must have been a hiking club of some sorts because we passed at least 100 people coming back down the trail within the first mile and a half. After that we were leap frogging a few people until we reached the saddle. Given all the people we saw thus far it was really interesting that from the sadde to the peak we only saw three people and that was almost at the summit.
It was a great day and beautiful views!

|I was worried that I wouldn't be able to climb this peak because it was foggy and the weather looked bad. We drove up the canyon and suddenly emerged above a huge cloud layer. It was a nice sunny day. Icehouse Canyon was very scenic. We made it to the summit around 2:00. Clouds were stretched all the way across the Southern Califonia horizon. I could see San Jacinto and San Gorgonio popping above the clouds. Gorgonio was the only peak with snow on it. Nice hike with a great view.

Food Stores: Background
National, regional and local supermarkets are the donors considered in this category.
In the 2012 election cycle, the industry contributed more than $5.5 million, its largest amount ever. The majority of these contributions came from individuals. The food stores industry has historically favored Republicans over Democrats, which was the case in spades in the 2012 election cycle -- 26 percent of contributions went to Democrats and 74 percent went to Republicans.
Publix Super Markets, Safeway Inc., and Kroger Co. contributed the most during the last cycle, giving more than $1.1 million, more than $497,000, and more than $365,000, respectively. The top recipient of food store industry donations in 2012 was Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney, who received more than $385,000. President Obama came in second, getting nearly $160,000 from the industry.
Food stores spent more than $4.9 million on lobbying in 2012, a far cry from the $9.3 million they spent in 2008. In 2012, HEB Grocery, based in Texas, led the pack that year, spending more than $1 million. Safeway Inc. and the Food Marketing Institute followed, spending $930,000 and $760,000 respectively.
So far in 2013, the Farm Bill was a top lobbying issue for the food store industry. In particular, the food store industry is concerned about Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is the bill's major component. The food industry favors increasing the number of days SNAP assistance can be used, citing long lines and frustrated customers on days when SNAP purchases can be made. Food stores oppose an effort to make SNAP assistance available for only certain foods deemed more nutritious, arguing that such a system would be too complicated for grocery stores to enforce.
The implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act also has been a top concern of the industry in 2013.

New York Premiere! An organic, mostly vegetarian comedy.
Presented in partnership with: IFC, New York magazine, Radeberger, Open Road NY, New Design High School, Fontanas, the NYC Council Manhattan Delegation & NYS Senator Daniel L. Squadron
The Happy Poet (Paul Gordon | Austin, TX | 85 min.)
With a deadpan comedic style in the vein of Jim Jarmusch and zany characters reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite, Paul Gordon's offbeat story of shy slacker Bill (Gordon, who also wrote the screenplay) vainly attempting to turn his vegetarian food shack into a success generates a combination of strange humor and bittersweet vibes into an unexpectedly effective formula. Cobbling together a meager bank loan, Bill hesitantly launches his snack cart in a quiet park with little fanfare. His droll mannerisms and lack of people skills don't help his cause. Hope is on the horizon, however, as Bill, his hapless deliveryman (Jonny Mars), and a bumbling hippy (Chris Doubek, the star of the 2010 Rooftop Films premiere Lovers of Hate) help boost his appeal.
As he works to obtain his goal, Bill figures out that most of his potential customers think he's running a hot dog cart. This recurring mistake establishes his greatest foe: the carnivorous population that wants nothing to do with his product. A one-man Whole Foods, Bill unwittingly enters into a more daunting challenge than he anticipated, with no apparent exit strategy. In due time, however, things start looking up. The business is on a roll, and Bill almost seems confident.
But popularity has its downside, a reality that Bill encounters when he attempts to take his culinary aspirations to the next level. How long can he maintain his appeal without succumbing to the needs of his meat-hungry customers? Despite this conundrum, Bill's constant perseverance turns him into a figure of pride. In one memorable scene, our hero embraces his Happy Poet status with a one-line putdown for the ages. Gordon, whose directorial debut Motorcycle screened at Rooftop Films in 2006, portrays Bill as a hilariously monotonous creation, but also a sincere one. His unique delivery approaches perfection when the character attempts to woo a romantic prospect with his godawful poetry, imbuing the title with an irony of epically amusing proportions.
Shot on location in the Austin area and taking advantage of its local filmmaking scene, The Happy Poet premiered to a wildly positive reception at the South by Southwest Film Festival.

19th century explorer, Antonio Raimondi, once referred to Peru as a "beggar sitting on a bench of gold." Peru is a country of vast resources, culture and history. The richness and diversity of the Amazon rainforest, the fabulous cuisine and colorful textiles of Cusco, and the wonder and magnificence of Machu Picchu are only some examples of the beauty and nature that make up this Andean country.
Still, with so much to offer, Peru continues to struggle with poverty, social unrest and threats to biological and cultural diversity. Almost half of Peruvians live below the national poverty line despite a billion dollar mining industry, fertile land for agriculture, almost 2,500 km of coastlines, a growing textile industry, tourism and more. Foreign investment and government corruption have redirected the country's wealth and resources away from its people. The government has, in turn, sought out foreign aid and free trade policies that complicate the situation worse. Peru continues with an agenda of privatization, despite the opposition that has reverberated across the continent. Privatization of resources such as water and mining are surrounded by controversy. Water privatization exasperates the problem of a basic right to water. Bolivia has struggled with water issues for years. Peru comes in at a close second. With a population of about 27 million, 6.4 million Peruvians don't have access to water services and 11.3 million don't have sanitation services.
Peru is also struggling with its past. Recently, former president Alberto Fujimori was extradited from Chile and is facing charges of corruption and human rights abuses. With his cohorts already in jail, Fujimori waits trial while his supporters, Fujimoristas, still wait for a political comeback, partly because Fujimori is credited with the defeat of the violent Maoist insurgency, the Shining Path (el Sendero Luminoso). Current president, Alan Garcia, has also been accused of corruption and human rights abuses, with a higher death toll during his five-year presidency than the ten years of Fujimori.
The capital city of Lima is home to one-third the population of Peru. However, Peru is everything from small coastal towns, to high communities in the Andes, and rainforest villages to desert cities. Since the end of the military dictatorship, increasing efforts have been put into decentralization, though ruling groups still try to retain their power.
Despite the thorny politicians, the ideological violence, and the economic setbacks, spend some time in Peru and soon you'll see the power and the riches of the people, the culture and the land. From soup kitchens to community weaving projects, grassroots democracy and popular expression are not jut alive; they're thriving. For Peru is much more than gold. It's the tropical macaws and charming alpacas. It's the tales of Vargas Llosa, and the cumbia beats. It's stunning mountains, which may seem insurmountable, but hold a world of their own.
by Rebecca Towle Global Exchange 2007
Pre 20th Century History
The first inhabitants of Peru were nomadic hunter-gatherers who lived in caves in the coastal regions. The oldest site, Pikimachay cave, dates from 12,000 BC. Crops such as cotton, beans, squash and pepper chilis were planted around 4000 BC. Later, advanced cultures such as the Chavín introduced weaving, agriculture and religion to the country before inexplicably disappearing around 300 BC. Over the centuries, several other cultures - including the Salinar, Nazca, Paracas Necropolis and Wari (Huari) - became locally important. By the early 15th century, the Incan empire had control of much of the area, even extending its influence into Colombia and Chile.
Between 1526-28, the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro explored Peru's coastal regions and, drawn by the riches of the Incan empire, returned to Spain to raise money and recruit men for another expedition. Return he did, marching into Cajamarca, in northern Peru, before capturing, ransoming and executing the Inca emperor, Atahualpa, in 1533. Pizarro subsequently founded the city of Lima in 1535, but was assassinated six years later. The rebellion of the last Inca leader, Manco Inca, ended ingloriously, with his beheading in 1572.
The next 200 years proved peaceful, with Lima becoming the major political, social and commercial center of the Andean nations. However, the exploitation of indigenous Peruvians by their colonial masters led to an uprising in 1780 under the self-styled Inca Tupac Amaru II. The rebellion was shortlived and most of the leaders were rounded up and executed. Peru remained loyal to Spain until 1824, when the country was liberated by two 'outsiders': the Venezuelan, Simón Bolívar, and the Argentinian, José de San Martín. In 1866, Peru won a brief war with Spain but was humiliated by Chile in the War of the Pacific (1879-83), which resulted in the loss of lucrative nitrate fields in the northern Atacama Desert.
Modern History
In 1941, Peru went to war with Ecuador over a border dispute. The 1942 treaty of Río de Janeiro ceded the area north of the Río Marañón to Peru, but the decision was contested by Ecuador.
Cuban-inspired guerrilla uprisings in 1965 were unsuccessful. In the 1980s, however, nationwide strikes and a violent insurgency by Maoist Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) guerrillas caused political instability.
Alberto Fujimori's 1990 presidential election victory over Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa, and the 1992 capture of MRTA and Sendero Luminoso leaders, buoyed hopes for peace.
Unemployment and poverty remained the main threat to domestic stability, despite Peru's fast-growing economy. Fujimori was re-elected in 1995, beating former UN secretary general, Javier Pérez de Cuéllar. A treaty was signed with Ecuador in 1998, resolving the 57-year-old border dispute and paving the way for increased foreign investment in both countries. However, much of the unexploded ordinance (UXO) along the border has yet to be cleaned up. In November 1999, Peru and Chile settled a territorial dispute over Arica.
In 2000, Alejandro Toledo, an indigenous Andean who became a World Bank economist, gave Fujimori the election run of his life. Though Fujimori was ultimately victorious he resigned in November and fled to Japan following charges of human rights violations and corruption made against his intelligence advisor.
Toledo became the country's first indigenous president in 2001, but the path to bringing Fujimori to justice was torturous. It was revealed that some 69,000 Peruvians died during decades of fighting between rebel and government forces.
In 2002, a car bomb exploded near the US Embassy in Lima, killing 10 people. It was thought to have been detonated by the Shining Path guerrilla group.
Recent History
By 2003, the currency was strong but Peruvians faced unemployment, stagnant wages and a higher cost of living - and Toledo's popularity was at an all-time low. In November 2005, Fujimori returned to South America, announcing plans to run for the presidency once again. He was quickly arrested in Chile on an extradition warrant. With Fujimori out of the way, the 2006 presidential elections narrowed to a face-off between the populist nationalist Ollanta Humala, and ex-president lan García. Voters elected the more conservative García.
However, though Peruvians may be better off now than they were under Fujimori, the seemingly intractable problems of poverty and unemployment remain.

|猫又 Nekomata
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #189
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Nekomata (猫又, Nekomata) is a giant cat and the boss of the ninneko underworld.
Background Edit
During Sasuke Uchiha's childhood, Itachi Uchiha made a game of collecting paw prints of quick, nimble cats from a normal cat to a lion and the last paw print to be collected was Nekomata's. Itachi once defeated Nekomata and his ninja cats and requested him to fight Sasuke with all his might when he got older.
Years later, Team 7 was assigned to get Nekomata's paw print and infiltrated his fortress. The team was split up during the infiltration. Sasuke was the first to find Nekomata, challenged him but Nekomata seemed to be too much for him until Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno arrived and saved him. Sasuke then told his two team-mates he didn't need to be saved and revealed dozens of kunai with explosive tags on the ceiling above Nekomata and detonated them, having the ceiling on top of him collapse. With Nekomata defeated, Sasuke collected the last paw print for the Paw Encyclopaedia.
Appearance Edit
Nekomata is a large white fork-tailed bakeneko with yellow eyes, long whiskers and claws, and several scars all over his body. The fur coming out of his ears is blue in colour.
Abilities Edit
As the leader of the ninneko, Nekomata is a highly capable ninja cat. He has displayed great strength and speed, able to smash through pillars without problems. He is also a capable genjutsu user.
Part II Edit
Past Arc: The Locus of Konoha Edit
Two years later, Nekomata visited Nekobaa to buy tools from her and sees a picture of Sasuke with his paw print, reminiscing of his battle with Sasuke.

I have just built AbiWord as a shared library - the UNIX version, totalling just over 9MB.
It's strange to be working on a non-Cocoa build of AbiWord - must be about two years since I last did this. I remember (oh years and years ago, when I was but a twinkle in my parents' eyes) turning AbiWord (version 1, I think) into a library; this was the gtk1.2 version which I was maintaining on OSX 10.1 or something similarly prehistoric. This was before I discovered how to link plugins to executables on Darwin and I had the idea of turning Abi into a library. Can't remember whether it worked, but I do remember that compile time su-... er, wasn't good. Hardware is better these days, though.

The fuel filter cleans the fuel of particles and debris in the gas tank before it reaches the fuel pump. The gas tank can get rusted and retain moisture, causing the fuel to become contaminated. The fuel filter protects the engine from damage by making sure the fuel from the gas tank is clean. While the filter is not typically expensive, replacing it as recommended will prevent expensive auto repairs.

Bonita got the idea that it would be soothing to her jangled nerves if she started drinking decaf instead of regular coffee. Things were in fact more pleasant for her the very first day off caffeine.
In part to be supportive and in part out of convenience I started drinking decaf too. I cut out the caffeine cold turkey.
It happens that I have always had a powerful thirst. I always have a beverage at hand and I'm always drinking something. So if a pot of coffee is on I will drink it until it's gone. (Unquenchable thirst is a symptom of diabetes - I've been tested several times and don't have it. It just seems to be the way I am).
So it turns out that when we brew a pot, Bonita will have one cup of coffee and I will drink the whole rest of the pot. So I have been drinking about three pots of coffee a day for quite some time.
So yesterday around 5 pm I lay down for "a little nap". I just wanted to take a little break before setting into some difficult work.
Bonita tried to wake me but I was so exhausted I could not get up. I slept until 9 am this morning. So my little nap lasted 16 hours.
When I lay down for another little nap this afternoon Bonita got really concerned. After some discussion we decided that the decaf must be my problem.
We went out to the local bookstore cafe and I had a large coffee and then another with a shot of espresso added. Caffeinated.
When I got home I had the energy to work and in fact fixed a difficult problem I've been working on for a few days.
Bonita feels that she doesn't need to cut out all caffeine, just most of it, so she had me brew a pot of regular coffee to drink while I worked.
I find it disturbing though that skipping caffeine for a couple days could have had such a dramatic effect. I think I want to continue trying to cut down on my caffeine.
I just don't think I should try to do it cold turkey.

Jazz up a classic biscuit recipe by adding oats. The result? A tender, tasty accompaniment to soups and stews.
Dipping the 2-inch cutter into Bisquick mix means you'll have less of a mess on your hands when you're done!
To make drop biscuits: After beating, drop dough by 12 spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and bake as directed.
Count to ten; kneading biscuit dough too much can make biscuits tough.
