Swans Related Project: M. Gira
Issued in 1995, Drainland was his official solo debut, though even it was described as "Swans Related Product," and was consciously put out as a complement to his longtime collaborator and partner Jarboe's own solo album, Sacrificial Cake. Billed as "Michael Gira with Guests," a limited-edition live recording from early 1999 was done specifically as a benefit to assist Jarboe with her medical bills from a disease picked up on a trip to Israel the previous year. Also in 1999, Gira released his first Angels of Light project, New Mother. Near the end of the 20th century, Gira also took complete control of his musical destiny by founding his Young God Records label. He featured not only his own material, but other acts he was personally interested in, including Devendra Banhart (first three albums), Windsor for the Derby, Akron/Family, Lisa Germano, Flux Information Sciences, Ulan Bator, Mi & l'Au, James Blackshaw, Charlemagne Palestine, Larkin Grimm, and Wooden Wand. He has personally overseen all decisions regarding production, distribution, and promotion.
The new century saw Gira issue the spoken word offering Somniloquist. In 2001 Gira and Windsor for the Derby frontman Dan Matz released the collaborative full-length What We Did. This was followed by a solo recording entitled merely Solo Recordings from Home. Living '02 and the (mostly) live-to-DAT recording I Am Singing to You from My Room were both issued in 2002. Gira concentrated on his Angels of Light project in subsequent years, which produced Everything Is Good Here/Please Come Home in 2003. The album The Angels of Light Sing Other People arrived in 2005, and We Are Him followed in August 2007. He also released Songs for a Dog, a 2,000 copy limited-edition LP -- via the Lumberton Recording Company -- a one-release offshoot of Young God. The album contained solo demos, CD-R-only recordings, and Angels of Light outtakes from earlier sessions as well as two new tracks. Gira's website claimed it would not be made available in any other format.
For Gira, 2009 was a pivotal year: he issued a solo/demo recording entitled I Am Not Insane for starters -- these recordings were prophetic, it seems. Later that year, he put Angels of Light on hiatus, feeling he had grown impassive in working with that project in the same way he had when he dissolved Swans in the 1990s. That said, in January of 2010, the words "Swans Are Not Dead" appeared on the band's MySpace page. Gira had indeed resurrected the group, whose new incarnation included former members (sans Jarboe) as well as new ones. The newly revived Swans released My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky, some of whose songs' origins can be found in rawer form on I Am Not Insane -- the demo acoustic solo offering had been sold to finance the recordings of the Swans album. In 2011, and in perhaps similar fashion, Gira decided to release Songs for a Dog in a different format after all, making it available as a CD and digital download. This was perhaps to finance the Swans' 2012 release, The Seer. ~ Ned Raggett & Thom Jurek, Rovi

Weekend Results: Batu Khasikov Gets Another Win
- Written by Rian Scalia
Batu Khasikov was back in action in just his second fight of the year on Sunday in the far eastern city of Khabarovsk, Russia. The fight was more of a tune up to get ready for his big fight against Gago Drago on November 3.
Khasikov faced Mohamed Reza Nazari of Iran at 75kg, and he definitely didn't look out of place at that weight. Khasikov was leading the fight up until a knee in the third round that broke Nazari's jaw and rendered the Iranian unable to continue. However, Khasikov still doesn't look like the same fighter that beat Albert Kraus and Mike Zambidis. He still looked more like the one that should've lost to Warren Stevelmans back in May.
I don't know what it is, but Khasikov just hasn't looked the same since beating Mike Zambidis, even though that fight was really short, he still showed a lot more than he has in his past two fights. Although Gago Drago has fallen off dramatically over the past few years, with the way Khasikov has looked in his last two fights now, I wouldn't be surprised if Drago is able to make it a very close fight or even beat him barring a hometown decision of course, like the one Khasikov got against Warren Stevelmans.

Binghamton University to host two philanthropy screenings
BINGHAMTON, NY – The College of Community and Public Affairs at Binghamton University and the Klee Foundation, will host two separate screenings of Saving Philanthropy: Resources to Results, a one-hour educational program produced by filmmakers and siblings, Robby and Kate Robinson. Free and open to the public, the first screening will be held at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, at Cinemapolis, in Ithaca; the second screening will be held at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, at WSKG Public Broadcasting, in Vestal.
Along with the screening of the program, executive producer, Kate Robinson, will be in attendance to make comments about the film. Robinson is the founder and director of FSP Creative Advocacy. A skilled facilitator, strategist, and advocate, she has worked in the non-profit sector for over a decade and specializes in coalition building for public policy development and implementation.
Robinson, a candidate for a master's degree in fine arts at Towson University, is the former director of strategic initiatives for Social Solutions Global, Inc. where she led a national advisory board of high-performing non-profit organizations in researching organizational effectiveness and assessment strategies. She is also the former executive director of Consumer Health Coalition, where she coordinated a statewide campaign to increase the effectiveness of Pennsylvania Medicaid programs.
Saving Philanthropy speaks to non-profit directors and funders who value outcomes but are struggling with how to define and measure them. The one-hour documentary, airing on PBS in December of 2011, is designed to offer a clear, straightforward framework for implementing a managing to outcomes strategy.
This program, which is co-sponsored by the Conrad and Virginia Klee Foundation, the Community Foundation of Elmira, Corning and the Southern Finger Lakes, the Community Foundation's Tompkins Today and Tomorrow Fund, the Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County and the Triad Foundation, will include audience discussion throughout the film.
For more information about the Nov. 2 program, contact Carol Farkas at (607) 237-8686 or firstname.lastname@example.com. RSVP for the Nov. 3 program by contacting Leah Joggerst at (607) 777-5801 or firstname.lastname@example.com. The registration deadline is Thursday, Oct. 27.

Glacier Caving
Photograph by Carsten Peter
Spelunkers rappel 300 feet (90 meters) into the Greenland ice sheet. Glacier caves such as these form when seasonal meltwater or geothermal vents cut fissures and channels through an ice sheet. Because they are made of ice, glacier caves can be quite unstable and present unique challenges to spelunkers.
Lava Tube Cave
Photograph by Tim Laman
Lava-tube caves, like this one in California's Lava Beds National Monument, are found throughout the world. These unique underground structures form during long-lasting lava flows. As lava moves through a channel, overflows build natural levees along the sides, which can eventually connect and harden, forming a canopy. Just as a winter stream continues to flow beneath its ice cap, lava continues to move under this roof. When flow from the source stops, the remaining lava moves through to the end, leaving a hollow tube, often large enough to walk through.
Patagonian Cave
Photograph by Carsten Peter
The artistry of water and time created the entrance to this limestone cave in Patagonia, Chile. Limestone is a soluble rock, and over hundreds of thousands of years, the slow movement of water can work like a chisel. Geologists call these structures solutional caves.
Greenland Glacier Cave

A spelunker in a glacier cave in Greenland gazes upon colors and shapes that look more like a swirling galaxy than a cave formation. The otherworldly contours of this ice chamber were formed by the heat of a geothermal spring.
Karst Cave, China
Photograph by Raymond Gehman
Looking like the set of a science fiction movie, China's Reed Flute Cave is bathed in purple-blue light. Created by an underground river more than a half million years ago, this highly accessible karst formation is one of the region's most popular tourist attractions. But during World War II the cave served a different purpose—it doubled as an air raid shelter.
Underwater Stalagmites
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Crystal clear water surrounds stalagmites in Lechuguilla Cave, part of Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. This once nondescript cave was launched into international stardom in 1986 when cavers broke through a closed passage and discovered numerous walkable tunnels. Since then, more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) of tunnel have been mapped, making it the third longest cave in the United States and the fifth longest in the world.
Lechuguilla Cave

A caver is dwarfed by calcite columns that stretch some 50 feet (15 meters) to the top of Tower Place in Lechuguilla Cave. Located in Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico, this famous cave attracts spelunkers from all over the world.
Ripples of Calcite
Photograph by Michael Nichols
These rare calcite deposits, which look a bit like shredded wheat, were found on walls deep within Lechuguilla Cave in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. Scientists think the rippled formations, known as folia, formed as water levels repeatedly rose and fell, leaving calcite deposits behind.
Cave Pearls

Mineral deposits in caves can create amazing shapes, such as these chocolaty-looking cave pearls. These unique spherical formations are created in cave pools when layers of calcite are slowly deposited around a grain of sand or dirt.

Thread: Cloudy water =/
My cannister filter has plastic rings and ceramic chips for bio-filtration (bacteria lives and grows on this) and a basket with foam pads and fine filter wool at the top. I only open the cannister every three or four months (as it is huge and doesn't need it) and I rinse everything in tank water except for the floss - which I run for 10-15 minutes under the tap to get it clean. Every 6 months I will change the floss completely for new stuff. I also use a pre-filter sponge over the intake and rinse this under the tap every week - this catches most of the debris before it enters the filter.
Yes, bacteria may well grow on/in the sponges but my filtration is large enough (with the ceramics and plastics) that I can rinse the debris-catching parts under the tap with no ill effects on the nitrogen cycle in the filter."Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan

I haven't bough anything else for my filter, because I'm broke right now lol. I tested my water last night at work. only about 10 Nitrates, no Nitrites, and no ammonia......
Feeding fish should not be as long as 3 minutes unless they are really slow eaters. Some fish can consume food in less than 30 seconds, and their bellies look like it will pop.

yeah, I was overfeeding for sure. Question, should I vacuum my gravel if there is no debris, algae, or anything else? If I'm vacuuming my gravel and it's virtually spotless wouldn't I just be disturbing my bacteria?
Most of it lives in the filters. If you are losing your cycle because you are vacuuming your gravel, then that means that you have an undergravel filter (sounds unlikely in your case) or that you don't have enough filtration.

I'm bumbling this thread, because I've still seen little to no results and would still love any help you guys can offer =).
So as far as trying to address my water as an over feeding issue, it didn't work. I cut my feeding down to the every 3rd day at first and only feed them about as much as they can eat in about 30 seconds. I was doing about 30% water changes, vacuuming out the gravel, every other day. my water showed no sings of clearing up, so I've upped my feeding to every other day and only as much as they can eat in about 30 seconds.
now I also have a question, between what I've read, and what I've been told are two total different things. I went down to one of my local fish stores and told the guy who helped me about my little problem. we both agreed that it's a bacteria bloom. He said my main problem is that I'm doing to many water changes to frequently, and because of that I'm disturbing the bacteria to much therefor not allowing it to reestablish itself and clear my water out. The few articles I've read said that small frequent water changes would help. The guy at the fish store also told me to replace my carbon regularly, but I don't wanna do that since I have plants. so which is it? do I just leave it alone and wait for the bacteria to reestablish or keep doing water changes to help clear things out? how long do most Bacteria blooms take to clear out? It's almost been a month since this started.
I've added a Pre filter to Marnieland Penguin 200, which is rated for 50 gallons, if that changes anything.
my water test have not changes in any way. No ammonia, no nitrite, and only about 10ppm of nitrate.
if you don't feel like looking back thought the thread, my tank is 29G with 6 Tiger Barbs, 1 Black Molly, and 1 Rainbow Shark. I have about 10 plants in there, and they're under two T5 light bulbs running 62 waits.
any and all help is appreciated, thanks!
I don't think water changes will be negatively affecting your cycle. If your ammo and trite readings remain zero the cycle is stable. It's odd you still have clouding issues. You could try reducing your water changes but I am not convinced this is the cause.
Don't listen to the advice about regularly changing the carbon. This is pointless. All you will go is throw away your bb and interrupt the cycle. Have you tried using a fine filter floss to catch debris? How carefully do you pour water back into the tank when doing changes?"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan

Here is a picture of my water if it helps anyone help me.
I pour my water back into my tank very carefully. I bought a Marineland filter pad and I've been running it for almost 2 weeks. I haven't done a water change since last Wednesday.
Wow - that's not "cloudy" water, that's a huge algae bloom!
How long are your lights on for?
Do you know if you have silicates in your tap water?"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan

A picture says more than a 1000 words.
This is green water. nitrates are not the issue, nor is it a traditional bacterial bloom.
Cutting the photo period might help, adding a good general plant fertiziler might help. Algae use nutrients the plants cannot use.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

"And we have had dictators on," Stewart added, saying Grant will never be invited back. "He's giving everyone [expletive] the whole time, and he's a big pain in the [expletive]." And when Stewart aired a clip from Grant's latest movie during his last appearance, the actor responded, "What is that clip? It's a terrible clip."

Morgan later upped the stakes by tweeting that she wasn't welcome on his U.K. talk show either.

But earlier this year, Letterman lifted his ban and had Griffin on as a guest. Rather than play it safe, Griffin tried to take off her dress on the show—and wasn't wearing underwear.

SOUTHERN BRIDE WITH SERIOUS STYLE {Plus: our Dad's Day & the best parenting advice I've ever read…}
Happy Monday, you crazy kids. How were your weekends? Do anything special? Fiancé and I spent a nice, calm summer day with my Popsicle et al and, all in all, it was pretty relaxing. (Plus, I made a cake!) By the way, to all the brides who got married on Father's Day: I couldn't imagine a more wonderful gift to your dad than to let him walk you down the aisle on such a meaningful day. Both my Dad and I are major proponents of the idea! So congrats to any of you who got hitched on Sunday – well played!
(Like the shoes? You might love the Badgley Mischka Randee featured in this post. Btw, if you like ruffled things, here's my fave quilt EVER.)
Alright, today I've got a couple of things I thought I'd share with you, the first of which I'm going to pepper in throughout all the chatter of the second one…
So, number one = totally stylish bridal look inspiration, as photographed by the endlessly creative genius that is Elizabeth Messina and;
Number two = details about how my Dad spent his Father's Day. Plus, I've got a comment on good parenting at end of this post. Well, more like an excellent quote on the topic. Not that you care, but I'm sharing anyway. (;
* * *
Ok, I am obsessed with this bride's style, and think you might be, too.
* * *
Back to Dad's Day… some of you might remember that little bit of unsolicited advice I dispensed about Father's Day at the very end of this post right here; well, I like to make a habit of taking my own medicine, which translates into the kind of Father's Day we gave the ol' patriarch. So, how did he spend his day? Exactly the way he wanted to (most activities done with his loving wife by his side):
Gorgeous. You MUST check out more on Elizabeth Messina's blog, Kiss the Groom. You MUST.
* * *
Because yesterday was Father's Day, and because proper parenting is so important and so little advice is given to those who don't actively seek it out, I thought today would be the perfect day to include a passage my fiancé brought to my attention. It's by the great Kahlil Gibran, author of "The Prophet." I don't have kids, so I'm no authority by any stretch, but I've got to believe this is one of the smartest bits of thought on the subject of parenting, imo:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you,
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends with you His might that His arrows might go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
~ Kahlil Gibran
Hope you enjoyed both bits of this post! I'm curious, what do you think of today's bride's style? Are you into the ruffle-mania, the statement headgear, the whole shebang? Share your thoughts, either way!
xoxo! -Alison

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – University of Mississippi officials have suspended an Ole Miss fraternity under its two-strike rule.
Eta Chapter of Sigma Chi fraternity was temporarily suspended March 5 for a second violation this academic year of Ole Miss' alcohol policy.
The university implemented a two-strike rule for alcohol and drug violations by individuals and organizations after the October 2006 death of University Police Officer Robert Langley. He died while trying to arrest a 20-year-old student motorist who proved to be under the influence of alcohol and other drugs.
Sigma Chi was placed on probation last fall when it was found guilty of violating the alcohol policy. The University Judicial Council – three students, a staff member and a faculty member – was unanimous in finding the fraternity guilty of charges leveled on March 5 – alcohol policy violation, disorderly conduct, disregard for university authority and failure properly to register activities.
Sigma Chi members may live in their chapter house until May but not this summer and fall. After the suspension is lifted on Jan. 1, 2014, the chapter will continue under social probation but will be allowed to hold philanthropic events, to occupy its house and to recruit.
The suspension canceled most of Derby Week, Sigma Chi's traditional major social and fundraising event, which would have been this week.
"It will mean the loss of approximately $40,000 to $50,000 to Oxford-Lafayette charities," said Major Geoffrey Yoste, the chapter's advisor. "The past two years the Sigma Chis have raised more blood units than any other blood drive in the state. The university allowed that to go on, but I don't think we'll hit the same numbers."
Yoste questioned the March 5 beer possession charge that triggered other charges.(Portions of the Ole Miss campus not within the City of Oxford are, by county ordinance, dry for beer but wet for liquor and wine.)
"They could have come in and seen people drinking Jack Daniel's whiskey, and it would have been fine as long as they were over 21," he said. "And if you go to the Grove and (beer) is in a red Solo cup, they don't care.
"The University's two-strike policy for students and organizations is flawed and needs to be changed as it delivers major punishment for minor offenses," he said.
Chapter President Buckner Corso said the fraternity will appeal the ruling.
"The university says it's supposed to be an educational process, but it's really hard to learn when you can't even get together," he said.
Dean of Students Thomas "Sparky" Reardon said the suspension was exactly what the fraternity should have expected.
"This was a violation of their two-strike probation," he said. "That's the minimum sanction for violation."

Anyone may attend the workshops for free. RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com is recommended but not required.
Caine's Arcade (Nirvan Mullick | USA | 11 min.)
9 year old Caine Monroy spent his summer building an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad's used auto parts store, and invited the world to play.
Inocente (Sean Fine, Andrea Nix Fine | USA | 40 min.)
Life as a teenager can be stressful: conflicts with your parents, pressure from your peers, constant self-doubt and soul searching. You're trying to figure out who you are in the world, and the more you learn, the more confusing and overwhelming life may seem. Making art can be a powerful remedy for daily tension, a liberating way to express your feelings and ideas.
For Inocente, a homeless teen in San Diego, making art provides a home base, a point of stability in an otherwise unsettled existence. As the child of a single, immigrant mother, Inocente has faced hardship her whole life. At the lowest point, her mother, desperately uncomprehending how to survive, almost sacrificed the entire family. Inocente, rather than folding under the pressure, has flourished.
She's never lacked for canvas, except perhaps at home. Struggling to fit in at an unsympathetic school, a place where the other kids always seem to have more than she does, wearing her art every day gives her the confidence she needs to face the world. Her brilliant use of color and her florid designs are enlivened by this elegant documentary, revealing the beautiful depth of her work and her personality. In the film, Inocente's daily struggles are documented with a calm nobility, while her art-making is vividly brought to life with close-ups so dynamic you can almost smell the paint. You certainly feel her passion and joy, and see it in her wide smile and bright eyes.
Inocente's ability to find a creative outlet has helped her define herself and achieve practical successes which will help her for a lifetime. Rooftop Films, the Fledgling Fund, Inocente and the filmmakers would like to share this inspiration with New York City youth (ages 8-18), by hosting a series of free screenings and art-making workshops. The afternoon workshops will begin with a screening of the film and a discussion on the creative process. We will then provide a variety of free art materials and instruction, so every student can create original works that express their own personalities. In the evening, students will have dinner (provided by Rooftop), while a free, outdoor public screening takes place. After the screening, student work will be displayed for the public and the creators can discuss their work. This stimulating and engaging event will be a pleasure for young people and adults alike.

In Azerbaijan, media watchdog raided, equipment confiscated
New York, August 8, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Azerbaijani authorities to stop harassing the Baku-based media freedom group Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety. Detectives with Azerbaijan's Prosecutor General's Office raided the IRFS premises today, the local press reported. A journalist who was at the raid told CPJ that the detectives confiscated some of their equipment, including computers. The whereabouts of IRFS's director, Emin Huseynov, are unknown, the local press said. Two days ago, authorities stopped Huseynov from exiting Azerbaijan when he tried to travel to Turkey for medical treatment, according to the local news website Contact.

These are the original cauldron, paddle and press used to make tofu at the Cow of China, Demos' first store in Boulder, Colorado. Soybeans would soak overnight and then be mashed and boiled in this cauldron. Once ready, the leftover bean fiber was strained off and the remaining liquid became soymilk or was curdled to make tofu. Once soymilk was curdled and strained, it was pressed in this wooden box lined with cheese cloth to create a block of tofu. Holes drilled in the sides allowed excess liquids to drain while being pressed into a block. Read more »

Custom Lighted CFC Playset
If you'd like to build one of your own, here's the recipe!
1) Carbon-Freezing Chamber Playset
2) 36 count orange Xmas lights preferably one without a female plug at the other end.
3) Mono-filament fishing line cut to the same length of the Xmas lights
4) Transparent tape
1) Scissors or cutting tool
2) Lots of patience
1) Test the lights and make sure that everything lights up.
2) Separate top chamber part from the rest of the playset and turn it upside down.
3) Start with the first light nearest the plug. Tie a knot with the wire close to the first light into the top right part of the chamber just below the part of the stairs. Tie it tightly, do a double knot if you have to.
4) Continue to tie the lights into the slots going around the chamber from the right side (10 lights) through the middle part and then to the right side (10 lights). Make sure that the inner part of the chamber is clear of any lights or wiring.
5) Continue to tie the lights around the stairs (10 lights) and at this point you're back on the right side of the stairs where you started. Tie a knot tightly with the stairs and cut out the remaining fishing line. Your work should look like this picture.
6) Drop the wire alongside the chamber wall (one light will show up outside the chamber which can be covered by the bottom control panel). Tape the wires to the wall.
7) Run the wire to the bottom of the chamber and place the remaining lights inside the chamber. Tape up the wires inside the chamber and make sure that it doesn't get in the way of the carbon freeze block mechanism. Test it out with the block making sure that none of the wiring gets in the way.
8) Assemble the playset with the top chamber. Make sure that the wiring does not get in the way of the chamber assembly. Put the orange front cover of the playset and the remaining parts as well shown in this next picture.
9) Turn on the power and enjoy your own lighted carbon freeze chamber.

TUPELO – Admission has gone up at the Elvis Presley Birthplace.
Adult tickets are now $15, up $3 from earlier this year. Children under 12 now pay $6, up an additional dollar.
The ticket price for seniors and students – $12 – did not change.
The increase comes the same year the Elvis Presley Birthplace unveiled a $4.3 million expansion.
The first phase of the project doubled the parking lot, added a 120-seat indoor theater, created a 75-seat outdoor amphitheater, expanded the gift shop and created picnic areas and exhibit space.
Last year marked a $2 increase in ticket prices, too.
Tickets are required to get into Elvis' childhood home, the church gospel exhibit and the museum.
The birthplace offers an abbreviated ticket for the house only. It's $6 for adults and $3 for children.
Admission is free to the grounds, the memorial chapel, the gift shop, the new exhibit hall, the amphitheater and the theater.
"We are not charging for the movie," said Dick Guyton, executive director of the birthplace. "That's free."
The birthplace plays a 25-minute movie throughout the day about Elvis' roots in Tupelo.

Sunflower Seed Bread
I love when I can combine a sponsored post with a recipe that you've been asking me for! Since I confessed that I'm not currently tolerating eggs or almond flour, I've had a flood of requests for recipes that are free of those two ingredients. It seems I'm not the only one out there who is going through this. So when Nuts.com asked me to partner with them, it was perfect! Nuts.com has FANTASTIC prices, and an amazing selection of ingredients!
This Sunflower Seed Bread is not only gluten-free, but:
nut-free (coconut is a drupe)
and dairy-free!
I like to make this bread with yeast, but the yeast optional. NOTE: if you substitute baking soda for the salt, the bread will be green inside, because baking soda and sunflower seeds react together. It's completely safe, and it could be fun for Christmas if you want to surprise the kids with green bread and red jam.
Sunflower Seed Bread
2 cups (288g) raw organic sunflower seeds
1/2 cup warm water
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons dry active yeast
2/3 cup (80g) coconut flour
1 tablespoon psyllium husk POWDER
1 and 1/4 teaspoons sea salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup avocado oil
Set the oven to 350F. Add the sunflower seeds to the food processor fitted with the S blade. Grind for about 30 seconds, until fine. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Lay a piece of unbleached parchment paper across the bread loaf pan so that it goes down one of the long sides, across the bottom and back up the other long side. Note: If you use a different bread loaf pan the cooking time may change. Grease the two exposed glass ends of the dish. Set aside.
Add the warm water and honey to a glass measuring cup with a spout. Stir until the honey is dissolved, then add the yeast. Mix the yeast into the liquid, then let it sit for 5 minutes. (It should be foamy on top after 5 minutes. If it isn't foamy then yeast is inactive, but will still add a little fla...

A hallmark of superior undergraduate institutions is the opportunity to expand the body of knowledge in a field by participating in scholarly research or creative activity.
Morris provides numerous opportunities for students to make such contributions on campus, within the larger university, and beyond our borders.
Faculty from all disciplines are pleased to discuss research and creative opportunities with students, as are students' advisers.
What is research?
Research is primarily conducted to enhance knowledge and understanding in a variety of fields. Students systematically investigate a subject of interest, interpret data, and share findings. Research can be conducted through experimentation or observation and culminates in a product of the researcher's understanding. Research can be done in a variety of fields—from science and math to social science and the humanities.
What is creative activity?
A creative activity is a scholarly method for investigating human expression—often the research method of choice for students in the arts, music, and dance. Creative activities that communicate to a wide audience and stimulate the mind and emotions are of particular interest to the University.
How can I get involved?
Decide to conduct research. Talk to professors, advisers, and the ACE director about your research goals and available opportunities. Make a plan. Do it!

StarKist brand expands to boost profitNovember 12, 2013 9:05 PM
The StarKist brand has been around for decades, establishing it firmly in U.S. consumers' minds as a reputable tuna product. But management at the Pittsburgh-based seafood company wants to stretch a little to see where the brand can go.
"We're onto something here," insisted Frank Pogue, vice president of marketing and innovation of the company headquartered on the North Shore.
StarKist began a test of its Gourmet Selects Sardines line this summer, putting the product in a mix of stores stretching from Georgia to Texas. The sardines, which sell for about $2.49 per can, could roll out more broadly next year.
Mr. Pogue reports the skinless, boneless sardine fillets -- which he swears are not your father's sardines in a can -- have won over some consumers. "People who have never eaten sardines, they're out there and they're asking for coupons," he said.
Sardines are only part of the company's latest push to challenge the tuna sector's long-term issues. Namely, how to stop Americans from seeing tuna as a commodity in a can that should be cheap; how to diversify into products beyond tuna; and how to get people to eat more seafood.
The fact that none of those issues is new may be evident in the fact that StarKist has had three different owners in little more than a decade, as the tuna business sometimes seemed easier to exit than to change. South Korean parent Dongwon Group has owned StarKist since 2008 but has changed chief executives more than once.
Tuna is among the nation's most popular fish. The National Marine Fisheries Institute ranks canned tuna as second on a list of the top 10 most consumed seafood in 2011, ranking only behind shrimp.
Sardines don't even make the list.
Still, the relatively low-profile fish could open up a bigger pool of opportunities for the Gourmet Selects line.
Mr. Pogue said other species and different flavors could eventually be included. "The whole deal here is where can StarKist play? Where does the consumer allow us?" he said.
The company's efforts to reinvigorate sales extend to its core tuna products. Mr. Pogue noted the overall category has been sleepy but he said that's starting to turn around and StarKist has hung onto its leadership position with about 40 percent of the U.S. market.
Total canned tuna sales hit about $1.68 billion in the 52 weeks ended March 24, according to IRI, a Chicago-based marketing research firm that tracks sales through U.S. supermarkets, drugstores and other large retailers. Dongwon's share was $686 million, followed by Bumble Bee Foods at $468 million. Other significant players include private label suppliers and Chicken of the Sea.
StarKist has been repackaging its flavored Tuna Creations line this year -- "That's in test marketing right now," Mr. Pogue said -- to try to get more attention in the grocery store. The single-serve pouches, positioned as a premium product at about $1.79 per pouch, wasn't getting the sales that the company thought they could.
StarKist's research found positioning the line as an ingredient to be used in other recipes wasn't as effective as touting the flavored tuna as a personalized choice for consumers.
