Pastured Pork Produces Perfect Lard
This is the handout from the 2009 Pastured Pork Seminar in Atlanta, Georgia. Hat tip: Homestead Hog Forum on Yahoo. I'm a native Oklahoman, so grew up with a grandma and a mom who could make the most delicious pie crust using lard ... and that's what I use as well for my pie crust which is so flaky you could just blow on it, and it would simply float away. Spoke to an old-timer recently here in Northern NM who recalled with great fondness the sweet home-made tortillas her mother made and slathered with some lard and a pinch of salt. I'm going to try my hand at some rendering this week.
Real Lard is rendered pork fat ( it is called tallow if it comes from a ruminant such as beef cattle). RENDERING is gently heating the fat to separate out the protein strands, the "cracklings". It is a beautiful, white, naturally-hydrogenated, solid fat. Most of its carbon sites are filled with hydrogen's in their natural and normal cis position just as it comes from the hog. Good lard is only 40% SATURATED fat, with 48% MONOUNSATURATED and 12% POLYUNSATURATED fat.
Lard is stable and the preferred fat for frying, it does not easily turn into trans fats when heated. Potatoes, for example, fried in lard can be cooked in a shorter time at a higher temperature resulting in a better taste and texture as well as less rancidity and embedded oil. Lard is a HEALTH FOOD that needs to be returned to it's rightful place in the American diet.
There are two kinds of fatty acids we cannot make and are therefore called ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS, they and both polyunsaturated 18 carbon molecules. OMEGA 6 is double unsaturated LINOLEIC acid and OMEGA 3 is the triple unsaturated LINOLENIC acid. The omega number refers to the location of the first double bond. Like other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA's) they are unstable, go rancid easily and should never be heated. Special and incredibility healthful EFA Omega 3 fats include CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID 9CLA0 which is found in grass-fed animals especially ruminants, DHA (the brain fat) and EPA which are found primarily in deep ocean fish, and GLA found in some plant oils.
Organically-raised, foraging and outdoor range hogs have the healthiest lard. Conventionally-raised pork get virtually no exercise, live outdoors and eat no greens. Much of their diet is of the lowest possible quality. This lard is of equally low quality. The diet and lifestyle of the hog radically affects the quality of the lard! Confinement pork lard has similar OMEGA 6:3 ratios to feedlot beef, a 100gm serving has about 8 grams of O-6 and 0.8 grams of O-3. A much more healthful ratio of O-6:O-3 can be achieved by increasing the amount of fresh green forages. The O-3 content can be greatly enhanced by feeding flax seed, sea greens, green algae or fish oils. On the other hand, hogs that eat garbage, especially bakery waste will incorporate toxic trans fats, heavy metals or other toxins in the fat. Free-living warthogs have a ratio approaching 1:1.
The health of Americans plummeted when "politically correct" diet advise recommended vegetable oils for cooking, especially partially-hydrogenated oils. Shortening, for example, is a liquid oil until manufacturers heat it up under pressure, bubble hydrogen gas into it ( with a catalyst to make it all work faster) and force-feed the C double bonds hydrogen atoms that often latch on is a crossways or trans configuration. ("cis" means same side whereas "trans" means on the opposite side). A little bit of hydrogen added in the trans configuration increases shelf life of the oil and allows vegetable oils and corn oil not to go rancid in large, clear containers exposed to light and heat on the store shelves. A lot of hydrogen added in the trans configuration solidifies the liquid oil, creating stick margarine or solid vegetable shortening, such as Crisco. Polyunsaturated oils go rancid easily due to unstable double bonds.
Fats are made of FATTY ACIDS which are carbon-hydrogen chains (C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C) that latch on in groups of three to a glycerol backbone to make a TRIGLYCERIDE molecule, which are the basic molecules of which all fats ares made. The length of the carbon chains and where, if any, double bonds (ie, missing hydrogen molecules) occur differentiate the fatty acids one from another. The more double bonds, the more unsaturated. One double bond gives you monounsaturated, many double bonds gives you a polyunsaturated, no double bonds gives you a saturated fatty acid. The main saturated fatty acids (from shortest to longest chains): CAPRIC,LAURIC,MYRISTIC,PALMITIC and STERIC acids. The main monounsaturated is OLEIC acid.
Olive oil contains 71% OLEIC acid, that heart-healthy, monounsaturated fat that we're supposed to get more of. Lard contains 44 % oleic acid, sesame oil (41%), corn oil (28%), walnut oil (28%), flaxseed oil (21%), cottonseed oil (19%) and sunflower oil (19%), grapeseed oil (15%) and safflower oil (13%), beef tallow (43%), butterfat (29%) and human butterfat (ie the fat of breast milk at 35%).
Lard (14%) of the 18-C saturated fat, STEARIC acid, which has been shown in clinical testing to lower cholesterol.
Like olive oil, lard contains 10% of the omega-6 fatty acid LINOLEIC acid, again, roughly the same as human butterfat (breast milk) at 9%.
Lard contains 2% MYRISTIC acid, a 14-C saturated fat that has been shown to have immune enhancing properties. Human butterfat 8% myristic acid, cottonseed oil (1%0 and the tropical oils, coconut oil (18%) and palm kernel oil (16%) vegetable oils have zero.
Lard contains 26% PALMITIC acid, a 16-C saturated fatty acid, olive oil only 13%, human butterfat contains 25%. Palmitic acid is antimicrobial.
Lard's basic fatty acid composition is compared to the butterfat of human breast milk. Lard is less saturated and more monounsaturates.
Saturated Monounsaturated Polyunsaturated
Breast Milk 48% 35% 10%
Lard 42% 44% 10%
WE NEED SATURATED FAT- It makes up over half of all cell membranes and gives cells stiffness and integrity. Bones reguire about 50% of the dietary fat to be saturated so calcium can be absorbed. SF lowers Lipoprotein-a in the blood, an inflammatory marker directly associated with the risk of heart disease. SF protects the liver from alcohol, toxins and drugs and they enhance the immune system. Omega 3 fats are retained in the tissue when the diet is rich in SF. Heart muscle contains rich deposits of stearic acid and palmitic fatty acids as they are foods the heart muscle uses and which are drawn upon in time of stress. Many SF have antimicrobial properties and protect us from harmful pathogens in the intestine. There is no scientific evidence to back up claims that SF causes "artery clogging" in fact arterial plaque is only 26% SF the rest unsaturated fat, over half of the plaque is polyunsaturated fat !.
WE NEED CHOLESTEROL- it is only found in animal fat. In spite of being falsely accused of being the cause of atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke, cholesterol is actually a necessary substance in every body. It is a strong anti-oxidant and free radical scavenger. This is why cholesterol levels go up as we get older since we need more protection. Cholesterol makes up a large portion of the brain, is the root of all corticosteroids and hormones in the body, it is the precursor to vitamin D. It keeps our skin soft and moist, and makes the bile which we need to digest fat. Mother's breast milk is very high in it (which should tell us something!). Our bodies make over 2000mg daily whereas a maximum of only 100mg can be absorbed from the diet, so it's pretty clear how shaky and wrong the connection of heart disease to dietary cholesterol intake. It is oxidative stress that causes cholesterol to elevate in the bloodstream in response to excessive free radicals. In the skin, uv light causes the production of free radicals, known carcinogens and aging factor, which damage the vital phospholipids of the skin unless the cholesterol is there in adequate supplies to protect it. Cholesterol is required for proper function of serotonin (the "feel good" brain chemical) such that low cholesterol levels are associated with aggression, violence, depression and suicidal tendencies. Cholesterol lowering drugs, especially the statins, are intrinsically toxic to the liver, they deplete CoQ10, an enzyme needed by all muscles by (note that the heart is a muscle), and ultimately leaves us dangerously exposed to oxidizers, free radicals and other damaging agents.
TRANS FATS- Are one of the most dangerous foods in the world. They serve no purpose in the body except to cause inflammation, cancer and degenerative disease. TF began to enter the diet of Americans around 1910. Not too many years later we began to see the heart attack "epidemic" begin. Now most Americans consume up to or more than 20% of their fat intake as trans fats. French fries have about 40% TF, cookies and crackers range from 35-50%, and donuts are 35-40% TF. If mothers eat TF it will cross the placenta and every cell in the baby will contain TF, even the brain. Every cellmembrane is a layer of fat with a thin protein coating on both sides. If TF gets built into the membrane it is defective and won't resist viral or other infection and it becomes cancer prone (seen most often in the current skin cancer "epidemic"). TF causes problems in the brain as DHA or other brain fats cannot be made from it, and the stiff and straight abnormal molecule creates overly rigid membranes. By eating a good balance of SATURATED FATS, POLYUNSATURATES and ADVOIDING TF, it is thought that we can prevent MS, ALS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease as well as depression, schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses.

This is part two of a series focused on how to prosper while earning irregular income. It is my goal to help you stop living the feast/famine lifestyle that is so often associated with irregular income.
As we focus on today's step, it is helpful to review the previous step.
Step 1 – Recognize it! To avoid living the feast/famine lifestyle, you need to recognize that you are earning irregular income.
The next step is to determine how much money is necessary to make the household operate efficiently for each month.
Step 2 – Determine monthly expenses
To determine your monthly expenses, you should pull up a monthly budgeting form and do the following.
- Fixed Expenses Enter all of your fixed expenses – house payment, utilities, gasoline, car payments, credit card payments, groceries, cell phone, childcare, etc. This also includes SAVING for retirement!
- Variable Expenses Enter the average of all of your variable expenses – clothing, spending money, entertainment, dining out, etc.
- Known, Upcoming Non-monthly Expenses This is a KEY STEP!!! If you do not add in all of those known, non-monthly upcoming expenses, you will continue to live the feast/famine lifestyle (more likely the famine lifestyle!!!!). These type of expenses are BUDGET-BUSTERS. Here is what I do. I list all of the known, upcoming non-monthly expenses and place their annual cost next to them. I then divide that number by twelve to determine how much I need to save per month.
So in this example, I would include a line item of $483 in my monthly budget for Known, Upcoming Non-monthly Expenses. This allows me to bring a stop to the feast, famine lifestyle!!! Want to read more about planning for known, upcoming non-monthly expenses? Click HERE.

I started this blog some time during May 2005 primary to try out the wordpress platform with a "Hello WordPress" post I must have deleted some time later.
Like many hobbies I have, I dived in without much planning or considerations. As a result, I have never really seriously considered nor decided the true intent of this site and develop it in that direction.
Yet this site sometimes served as an outlet, a thought fill-land, an experimental platform, a diary, a developer's journal, a showcase, and perhaps to some an update channel and a preferred medium of communication. Then in the last year or so have I updated this site so rarely that I imagine if being a friend who visits this site periodically, I would be so disappointed. (feeds may solve this problem but my statistics show not everyone uses this.) At least for friends whom I communicate via phone calls, emails, im, twitter especially facebook, you would have heard more frequently from me but I do know that some out there are not on those channels. This is perhaps one of my weakness, abandoning much things around myself. I hope that some may understand me and forgive any irresponsibilities I have.
The way I see my blog now- untidy, unorganized, unsightly, abandoned but fragments of my presence left behind on cyber(junk)space. It takes much more effort to upkeep it then abandoning it, but I do wish its would be the former.
If you are still reading this, I would really like to know who you are. Reach me via the channels you can contact me at
p.s. Or you could just see this post as another attempt at saying "Sorry for not updating. I have abandoned my blog, yet not too abandoned that I made this post."

NJIT 2, Rider 1
Men's College Soccer
NJIT 2, Rider University 1
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ— In all of the Highlander franchise movies, there is a recurring tagline, "There can be only one."
When the NJIT Highlanders and Rider Broncs squared off on Wednesday, both sides knew there could be only one winner, and unfortunately for the Broncs it was not them.
The Broncs saw their three-game winning streak come to an end with a lost to the New Jersey Institute of Technology Wednesday afternoon. "We played terrific the first 30 minutes of the game but that isn't good enough," said Rider head coach Charlie Inverso.
Rider (5-2) scored in the 10th minute of play when freshman Adrien Huss (Madrid, Spain) sent a lob pass into the box that was gathered by freshman Christian Flath (Bargeshagen, Germany), who scored from 18 yards out for a 1-0 lead.
Flath currently leads the MAAC with 11 points, compiling four goals and a conference-best three assists.
NJIT (3-5-1) tied the score with just under five minutes left in the first half on a point blank shot.
The Highlanders scored the game-winner in the eighth minute of the second half off a rebound after NJIT got off three consecutive shots.
NJIT out-shot Rider 17-6, including 10-1 in the second half. "I think in the second half we really let ourselves down today," Inverso said. "We had built a lot of momentum (the first six games) and I think we blew an opportunity to keep moving things forward. We're capable of playing much better than we showed today."
Rider freshman goalkeeper David Pastuna (Robbinsville, NJ) made a career-high eight saves. Pastuna has started the last four games, winning the first three, and was named the MAAC Rookie of the Week last week.
NJIT, who defeated St. Bonaventure 3-0, the team Rider recently defeated 1-0, also took 22nd ranked FDU to a 1-0 game and 19th ranked St. John's to a 2-1 contest. "NJIT is a talented team that plays a strong schedule," Inverso said.
Rider is now 2-1-1 vs. NJIT in the series that began in 2007. The last meeting was in 2010, a 3-1 Rider victory.
Rider hosts Seton Hall Wednesday evening at 7pm. "I told our team these next two games (NJIT and Seton Hall) are going to be really good games to get us ready for conference play," Inverso said. "So now we have a week to think about what we need to do to get better. And we need to be hungrier next time out there."
The Highlander films depict the climax of an ages-old battle between immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present day storylines.
The Rider Broncs will need to get back to the way they played in the past six games, not the way they played present day.

Feb 11, 2014 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterThe Northern Arapaho Tribe has joined the state of Wyoming in requesting that the Environmental Protection Agency stay its recent ruling redefining the boundaries of the Wind River Indian Reservation.
The EPA in December approved the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes' request for Treatment as a State through the federal Clean Air Act. As part of the decision, the EPA said a 1905 Congressional Act opening tribal land - including the city of Riverton - to homesteading did not diminish the reservation boundary.
On Jan. 6, Wyoming filed a petition requesting the EPA reconsider the ruling, which was made based on "incomplete facts and faulty legal conclusions," according to Gov. Matt Mead. The petition also asks for a stay of any implementation of the EPA ruling until a final judicial decision has been issued. EPA officials on Tuesday said they are still considering and evaluating the state's request.
In his Thursday letter to the EPA, Northern Arapaho Business Council Chairman Darrell O'Neal said he still believes the state's request should be denied "on the merits." But he said implementation of the EPA decision should be delayed until local governments have a chance to discuss jurisdictional implications.
"(We) support a stay by the EPA for the sole purpose of allowing our community to engage in reasoned discussions about genuine issues and to calm the storm created by the governor," O'Neal wrote.
The state's petition included "unfounded predictions" that have created "fear and distrust in the non-Indian community," he continued.
Because of impressions created by the state petition, "for example, the tribe and tribal members are accused of 'setting criminals free' or 'evicting' non-Indians from their homes," O'Neal said. "Although nonsense, these are having a real impact on our communities. Tribal members are encountering increased hostility toward them and their children, sometime sin public, sometimes on the schoolyard. For the safety and harmony of everyone, we want to minimize these effects."
He requested that the EPA approve a stay while also reserving the legal rights of the tribes and other affected governments.
"No stay should delay or restrict federal funding sought by the tribes in their TAS application," O'Neal wrote.
Vincent involvement
The tribe's letter came at the request of former Riverton Mayor John Vincent, who wrote to O'Neal on Jan. 28.
In his note, Vincent proposed a meeting between tribal representatives and Riverton community leaders to begin discussing the EPA decision. But he said a constructive discussion will be difficult "in the atmosphere caused by the unfortunate stance taken by the state."
"Wyoming's request for a stay identifies a series of dire consequences for city government and residents as a result of the EPA decision," Vincent wrote. "It appears that most of these predicted problems have no basis in reality at all."R32;Local residents are concerned about the impacts of the EPA ruling on criminal jurisdiction and land ownership, for example, but Vincent believes many of their fears are based on the "groundless or greatly exaggerated claims" made by the state.
"The perceived threat of peril by many in Riverton, however groundless, stands in the way of reasonable discussion and rational action," Vincent said. "Therefore, I would ask the tribe to consider agreeing to a stay of the EPA decision for the purpose of creating 'breathing room' and allowing time to work together to reach solutions for all of us."
He acknowledged previous collaborative efforts between Riverton and the Northern Arapaho Tribe, including an attempt several years ago to sign a memorandum of understanding agreeing to communicate and cooperate on matters of mutual concern. The memorandum later was withdrawn and was not signed.
The two entities approved a specific land use plan for the city, Vincent said, and they reached a water line licensing agreement for the benefit of city residents. In addition, Riverton's city engineer helped with the construction of the Wind River Casino south of town.
"I know that the tribe has been rebuffed often in such efforts," Vincent said. "But, I believe in my heart that we can achieve great things when we try, and maybe now is a good time to try again."

Jim Mahnke to host SnowCap dinner/auction
Jim Mahnke, a member of SnowCap Community Charities' executive board of directors, has taken on the additional assignment of chairing the agency's 10th annual Valentine dinner/auction fundraiser scheduled Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Airport Holiday Inn in Portland.
The event includes dinner and both a silent and oral auction. Tickets are $50 per person and reservations are required.
Mahnke says SnowCap's need for funding has never been greater.
'The Valentine event is of utmost importance to our activities, which touch more than 9000 people each month, especially families with children,' he says. 'It is our major fundraising event for the entire year.'
The goal is to raise $60,000, which would be a small increase over last year. Mahnke says SnowCap is seeking more than 300 silent auction donations and hopes to have at least 15 larger items and activities lined up for oral auction action. Typical auction items range from vacation getaways, fishing trips, timeshare accommodations, hotel/restaurant packages and professional and personal services.
Mahnke, former manager of the Gresham Old Chicago Pizza Restaurant, has been a member of the SnowCap board for three years. Under his direction, Old Chicago also sponsored Easter fundraisers for SnowCap and for Gresham area youth.

Some noteworthy performances and accomplishments from the weekend
1: Unbeaten left in FCS, Sam Houston State, after Youngstown State edged top-ranked North Dakota State 27-24. Sam Houston moved to 10-0 and clinched its first outright Southland Conference title with a 43-17 win against Northwestern State.
3: Runs of at least 50 yards — in the second quarter — by Houston sophomore RB Charles Sims as he racked up a career-best 207 yards in a 73-17 win at Tulane that moved the Cougars to 10-0. Sims needed only 10 carries to get those yards, setting a school record with his 20.7 average.
3: Ivy League quarterbacks who have passed for at least 500 yards in a game, the latest Cornell's Jeff Matthews. He had 521 yards — five short of the league record — and five touchdowns on 40-for-46 passing in a 62-41 win against Columbia.
4: Consecutive games Illinois has been shut out in the first half, all losses, including 31-14 Saturday against Michigan.
10: Interceptions this season by North Carolina State CB David Amerson, the latest in the first half of a 14-10 loss at Boston College. He's only the third FBS player to reach double digits in interceptions in the last 10 seasons.
10: Career TDs on kickoff returns for Stephan Neville of Div. II Stonehill (Mass.), tying an all-division record. Neville took the opening kickoff of the second half against Assumption (Mass.) 77 yards to tie the mark. He also had his first career punt-return TD, a 64-yarder with 6:21 to play that put Stonehill ahead for good, 28-23. The 11 total kick-return scores also ties the Division II record.
13: Years since Boise State had lost a conference game at home before falling to Mountain West foe TCU 36-35. The Broncos also had won 35 in a row overall at home. Boise's last league loss at home? To Idaho, in 1998 Big West play, 36-35.
19.1: Average gain for Baylor on its three scoring drives in the fourth quarter (267 yards on 14 plays) as it rallied from a 24-3 deficit to prevail in overtime at Kansas 31-30.
20: Consecutive losses by coach Dale Carson to start his career at Valparaiso before getting a win, 34-31 against Campbell. Valpo had lost 29 in a row overall, the longest active skid in FCS, and Campbell entered on a school-record five-game winning streak.
21: Consecutive losses by Division III Juniata (Pa.) before eking out a season-ending 17-16 win against Susquehanna (Pa.) on Scott Andrews' 18-yard field goal with two seconds left. Andrews was 1-for-3 on the season coming in.
27: Years since Norfolk State was in the NCAA playoffs. The Spartans (9-2) wrapped up the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title Saturday and a berth in the FCS field with a 47-14 win at Morgan State. They hadn't been to the postseason since 1984 while in Division II.
27: Total touchdowns this season for Wisconsin RB Montee Ball, a Big Ten record. He had three Saturday, two rushing and one receiving, in a 42-13 win at Minnesota. The old mark of 26 was shared by three players, most recently Penn State's Ki-Jana Carter in 1994.
29.3: Yards a completion by Division II Glenville (W.Va.) State QB Steffen Colon in a 63-44 win at Seton Hill (Pa.). Colon was 10-for-19 for 293 yards and six TDs.
40: Years since Vanderbilt had won an SEC game by as many as 30 points until routing Kentucky 38-8.
96: Years Division II Kutztown (Pa.) has been playing football before winning the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference title. The Golden Bears (10-1) beat Slippery Rock (Pa.) for that crown, 21-14, behind senior reserve QB Marshall Vogel. He replaced Kevin Morton (knee injury) in the second quarter and passed for 300 yards and two TDs.
184: Combined points, an NAIA record and second all-time among four-year schools, in a 95-89, triple-overtime win by Faulkner (Ala.) against Union (Ky.). The old NAIA mark of 141 points, set last year by Union and Bethel (Tenn.), was surpassed when regulation ended 75-75. Faulkner says the only college game with more points was Georgia Tech's 222-0 win against Cumberland (Tenn.) in 1916. The game lasted more than four hours and included more than 1,400 yards of offense.
249: Career coaching wins by Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer, the latest 37-26 at Georgia Tech. With Joe Paterno's firing last week by Penn State, Beamer now is the winningest active major college coach.

Intel is highlighting a whole new generation of microprocessors code-named Sandy Bridge that combine CPUs and graphics processing on a single chip.
That should make higher-end graphics more common, more energy efficient, better performing and more common on machines without separate graphics-processing cards -- most of them business computers.
AMD plans a line of similar chips for later this year.
The chips will be sold as part of Intel's Core line. They have a memory controller and PCIE Express controller built into the die, in addition to the GPU and built-in DirectX 10.1 hooks that will make video transcoding, video or photo editing and streaming movies more efficient.
Though they're designed to stream video content -- movies -- more cleanly than previous versions, the Sandy Bridge chips have stronger hooks for DRM than previous chips, giving movie studios and software publishers better control over digital products once they've been installed on customers' PCs.
Time Warner and other movie studios plan to release streaming versions of HD movies to consumers at the same time they release DVDs, an Intel VP told Reuters last week.
That's great for watching new movies. Not so great if you have a dispute over licensing with a software company and it's able to turn off an important piece of software because it thinks you should pay more in licensing costs than you do.
The DRM in Sandy Bridge is only a tool. Whether its impact turns out to be good or bad depends on how it's used by studios and developers who take advantage of it.
Both have tried, in the past, to take advantage of both the available technology and their customers with draconic or malicious efforts to protect their content.
Most infamous was the rootkit Sony BMG embedded in copy protected CDs that installed on a customer's computer when the CD was played and took over some system functions.
Acting more like malware than DRM, the software phoned Sony to download and serve ads, sent data about the customer's media usage and, coincidentally, leave a gaping hole in the customer's firewall through which anything distasteful could walk.
The case enraged customers and sparked a movement to kill or sharply regulate DRM. That didn't happen.

Happy Thursday!
It's another great day to be alive! Think of the possibilities! I keep remembering the Corrie Ten Boom quote over on our inspirational quotes page---That doing things in our own strength is tedious and hard, but doing things initiated by the Holy Spirit just flows out of us. Soooo---keep your Holy Spirit ears and eyes open---don't just go down the pre-conceived list for today--listen and obey the gentle Spirit of God----
He created the universe with a word--imagine what He can do in our lives as we cooperate with His words to us today!!!! So- supernatural people with God's own Spirit living inside of them--go get em!
p.s. We will be feeding the Warrensburg Tiger football team and coaching staff tomorrow at 2:45 at our church---if you'd like to come help with the meal for 75--come over noonish or one-ish or two-ish and let's bless our kids with a great meal before their game.
A great day!
Had a great day at church today! Fun to see our friends and be encouraged in the things of the Spirit. Congratulations to all the kids who were promoted to the next grade and walked over the footbridge!
Thanks to everyone who wore a backpack in solidarity with our students. A great sermon entitled:"What's in your backpack?" by Dr. Salter delving into the little boy who brought 5 loaves and 2 fishes to hear Jesus---and shared them, blessing thousands. What small (or large) things do we have that we can take out of our "backpacks" to help or bless others? A kind word? A hug? A few minutes of encouragement? A bag of groceries? A large check to bless someone? Check out the whole sermon on the sermon audio page. Thanks for reading this! See you at church!
Men's breakfast this Saturday! 9 a.m.
Hey gentlemen! This Saturday morning the 25th at 9 a.m. we will be having our monthly men's breakfast at church. We have a great time of food and friendship and a time of spiritual encouragement. Be there!
Preliminary Pastor interviews
The pastoral search process is continuing! The church board has met almost weekly with our district superintendent, Jeren Rowell. We will be getting some great information about some of our possible pastors this weekend. There has been a very strong group of candidates presented to us. Pray that the board has wisdom and can soon say like they did in the book of Acts---"Set apart ________ for the work of the ministry---it seems good to us and the Holy Spirit." Amen!
District assembly week
Our district of Nazarene churches, called the Kansas City district, is having their yearly conference this week. Dr. Jeren Rowell who has been helping us in our pastor search is the leader of our district. There are around 88 churches in our district---from Sedalia to Topeka. We are sending 3 delegates to the meetings who will enjoy the music, inspiration, missionaries, news from the area, and will vote for officers and several national items. It is great to be connected to a district that has such great resources and activities.
Concert Sunday night!
4 His Love---a great gospel quartet will be in concert at our church---1st Church of the Nazarene August 5 at 6:30 pm!
Make plans to be there and join in the great evening of music and inspiration! It's free----a free-will offering will be taken. Let's pack the place out!
This blog is being written by James Becker--your humble webmaster. The wife Debbie, is the church secretary and keeps me in the loop so I can keep you all in the loop......

KIEV, Ukraine - In defiance of the U.S. and the European Union, Russia tightened its stranglehold over Crimea on Monday as Ukraine accused it of piracy by blocking two of the besieged country's warships and ordering them to surrender or be seized.
The West struggled to find a way to get Moscow to back down, but with little beyond already threatened diplomatic and economic sanctions, global markets fell sharply over the prospect of violent upheaval in the heart of Europe.
For its part, Moscow reiterated its price for ending the conflict: the restoration, pending new elections, of a government in Kiev that represents pro-Russian as well as Ukrainian interests.
Some 16,000 Russian troops have been deployed in the strategic Crimean region, Ukraine's mission to the United Nations said Monday, as fears grew in the Ukrainian capital and beyond that the Kremlin might carry out more land grabs in pro-Russian eastern Ukraine, adding urgency to Western efforts to defuse the crisis.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was headed to Kiev in an expression of support for Ukraine's sovereignty, and the EU threatened a raft of punitive measures as it called an emergency summit on Ukraine for Thursday.
But it was Russia that appeared to be driving the agenda.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a U.N. Human Rights Council session in Geneva that Ukraine should return to an agreement signed last month by pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych - but not Moscow - to hold early elections and surrender some powers. Yanukovych fled the country after sealing the pact with the opposition and foreign ministers of France, Germany and Poland.
"Instead of a promised national unity government," Lavrov said of the fledgling new administration in Kiev, "a government of the victors has been created."
Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities said that Russian troops had issued an ultimatum for two Ukrainian warships to surrender or be seized - prompting the country's acting president to accuse Russia of "piracy."
"I call on the leadership of the Russian Federation. Stop the aggression, stop the provocations, stop the piracy! These are crimes, and you will be called to account for them," acting president Oleksandr Turchynov said.

Opulent dressing is one of the key trends for A/W 12, from huge jewels (think Anna Dello Russo for H&M) to baroque dresses.
Bringing maximum influences from the other side of the world, however, is the oriental trend, seen everywhere from Dries Van Noten to Miu Miu at the A/W 12 shows.
Kimonos and heavyweight embroidery are the order of the day here, and some eager celebs have been quick to channel the trend.

This post came from a small guy with big ideas, Max.
"I have a list of goals for the new year. Here's the one I want you to help with – I want to lose 40 lbs!"
"No, you have only 1 goal, and it's to get yourself in here three days a week."
"That's it? But I thought that…"
"That's it."
"But what about the losing weight part?"
"One thing at a time, my friend. One thing at a time."
Goals are funny things. They can really, really help us motivate and move forward in our lives, or they can make us feel really, really aggro and frustrated about the things we didn't do.
Many people will recommend a lot of things to help you reach your goals. Things like writing them down, telling a bunch of your friends so it's "out there," even spending hours making big vision boards with all of your life ahead of you.
There's one thing that many of these processes miss, something that often gets glossed over. It's the daily practice.
While that big initial goal is what gives you the impetus to start making change, it is often way too big to provide daily focus to reach it. Writing your goals down doesn't mean anything unless you're doing something about them every day. Telling your friends doesn't help them help you, unless you really like being told what to do by someone else. Spending hours on a vision board is great and all, but for many people, once the glue dries, it's a board of what could be, rather than what will be.
I get quite a few new people that come through the doors of the gym with goals this time of year. It's great that they've made that first step and actually made it into the gym. They're ready to learn, and willing to ask for help. Most have a goal of finally losing X number of pounds. I don't want to discourage them. I really don't. But I often get them to agree to a different set of goals as well as their own.
It's so, so easy to speak the words that you are going to make a change in your life. It's so, so easy. Actually doing something is completely different. Giving yourself small, actionable goals that you can do daily will help to build habits that lead to bigger and better things without straining too much of your will power.
And please, don't announce to the world you're doing something new and amazing. Don't tell them about your grand plans. If someone asks, only talk about what you've already done, and make it as short as possible. Don't give advice, don't talk about your 27-step plan to take over the world with your awesomeness. Speak of things in the present or past tense, since that's the only thing that's really true.
"I worked out today."
"I had a wheat & sugar-free breakfast today."
"I am…breath…doing…breath…100 burpees…breath, breath… today."
Anything you talk about in the future hasn't happened yet, and in my experience, the more you talk about it in the future, the more likely it's going to stay in the future, and the less likely it's going to happen. Instead of taking action, your brain just likes talking about it.
Success takes work. Down in the trenches, daily, focused work. Is it simple? Amazingly so. Is it easy? No. Hell no.
So here are the goals that I give people when they first come into the gym.
"Be here three days a week."
After that, it's –
"At least one large salad a day."
"Protein at every meal."
That's it. Simple. No big, "Are you ready to look like a fitness model?" or big false assumptions. Once you've got those three down, we move onto the next. We're building habits, and those habits take time.
Get a hold of that talking brain of yours and tell it to stop for a change, and get it to help make some action happen instead. Simple, daily, habitual action.
Oh, and speaking of workouts, did you notice that it only takes 3-4 days a week, and you don't even need a gym? Check it out over here.

Great post. I have been on a weight loss journey for over a year now, and the overall goal (the future), can only be reached by making certain choices today. I was talking to my mom about it, and she was saying that she knows how to eat, she knows what she should do, and I shared with her that it is not just knowing what you should do, it's choosing to do it, and choosing it each day, that that is how you are going to live your life. No more temporary "diet" mentality. The attitude for her is "well I am back on my diet" like it's this dreadful awful thing you can't wait to be done with. I have learned that there are changes you have to make daily, and it's a simple, but hard daily choice. Once it becomes habitual, the weight falls off, and you don't even have to think about it as much anymore. When you eat what your body needs, your body is happy and satisfied, and it is willing to let go of the extra fat you are holding onto.

Bulldogs Conclude Fall Season
Oct. 23, 2012
By Elly Walker
By Elly Walker
Fresno, Calif.-- The Fresno State women's golf team completed the final round of its fall season Tuesday, Oct. 23 in Las Vegas, Nev. The Bulldogs took 14th place (311-310-305--926) at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown.
During the first two rounds of the tournament the 'Dogs faced heavy gusts of wind, but were relieved as the breezy wind decreased to 15-20mph during round three.
Bulldog Christine Uhalde shot two under par in her final, 18-hole round and finished in a tie for 42nd place. Uhalde (82-80-70--232) made three birdies during round three for a total of five birdies during the tournament.
"Christine had a great comeback today," head coach Angie Cates-Moore said. "To shoot two under par in breezy conditions is really solid golf. We are happy she was able to finish her fall season on a great note."
Madchen Ly shot 12 over par for a total score of 228 (78-72-78) and finished in a tie for 29th place.
Shaylee Yano (78-76-78--232) finished in a tie for 42nd place.
The Bulldog's fall season came to a close as the 'Dogs came off the 18th hole at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown. The Bulldogs will now prepare for their spring season which tees off on Feb. 16 in Stanford, Calif. at the Peg Barnard Invitational.
"Getting a win this fall was nice and we need to build off of that for the spring season," Cates-Moore said. "With some hard work and dedication this team is capable of great things.
"Discover Fresno State Athletics!" - Youth/Band Day is approaching on Nov. 3! Fresno State football Youth tickets are available until Oct. 29 for $18. The ticket includes a voucher for a free hot dog, small soda and a bag of chips. Beginning Oct. 30, Youth tickets will go on sale for $14 (does not include voucher). Local high school bands will be in attending and joining the Fresno State marching band during halftime of the game.

If you are looking for a card around the $200 mark, then be sure to see the performance of the X1950PRO first! This particular card retails for less than the 7900GT in which it competes, but which takes the top spot?
You can read the full review here and discuss it here.
Your graphs are really lame, seriously. Who in their sane mind uses logaritmic scales for the y-axis??
I do?
That was actually a mistake regardless, I didn't notice it until you mentioned it.
Maybe use some diff. colours to diff. the bars also. Seems
to be a common problem with many review. Otherwise a good review.
I will experiment with colors in the next review. I personally liked the orange ones.. I may have been the only one. I'm glad this has come up. I just don't want to use colors that make the graphs even uglier than they are.
I'll see what I can do...
noise levels
can you comment on the noise levels this card produce ?
thanx good job
I no longer have the card to verify, but I recall the card being very, very quiet as are most with that type of cooler. If it was louder than normal I would have mentioned it, but I don't believe it was. Sorry I don't recall any more than that.
Hello ... I'm thinking on buying a new video card. now i own leadtek 6600gt.. i was looking for a 7600gt extreme from leadtek because i only used nvidia based cards ... but now i'm thinking to buy EAX1950PRO ... anyone can tell me wich one is better??? Leadtek 7600GT Extreme (256ddr3/128bit) or EAX1950PRO (256/256)...
The X1950PRO should kick the 7600GTs ass.
aham ...
10x ...
& what about compatibility? i'm running vista. and i never used ATI based cards before :) so i need a little help here ...

Carpet Buying Questions
What's up all,
Will be having carpet installed soon on my 2nd floor and steps coming down to 1st floor. Lowe's is offering 18 months no interest next week in my area, so I will be taking advantage of this to get my carpet and padding.
Lowe's has readily available carpet on rolls that they will cut onsite for you. The cost is cheaper, so I am wondering if anyone has used this carpet and has any opinions on it. How much should I be spending to know I am getting a decent product and is there anything in particular I should look at if I choose this carpet.
Also, I know nothing about padding. I am doing a little research online, but really not coming to any conclusions. Can anyone provide any information on what I should be looking for?
Would need to know a lot more about the carpet to help you. Weight, type of yarn, etc. With the pad, 1/2" 8 lb., unless you are getting berber carpet.
Hey Rusty,
This is all the information that is listed with each type of carpet that i am considering. There are 4 of them.
Name: Predator
Fiber - 100% Solution dyed BCF Polyester
Name: Nitro
Fiber - 100% stainmaster BCF Nylon 6,6
Name: Hartsfield
Fiber - 100% xtrasoft BCF Polyester
Name: Supernova
Fiber - 100% BCF PET Polyester
The Nitro would be the best because nylon yarn is second only to wool in quality. Polyester yarn will mat down over time.
I've been googling reviews for installers as much as for the carpet. Good luck.
Quality of the padding will have a lot to do with how much life you get out of any carpet.

Schools out
Date published: 26 March 2014
SCORES of schools across Oldham closed today as members of the National Union of Teachers held a one-day strike over workloads, performance-related pay and pensions.
::ST Anne's Primary, Lydgate, was fully open today while Kingfisher and Royton & Crompton High School opened for some of their pupils. Both were listed as closed in yesterday's Chronicle due to errors supplied by the council.
Parents are given heavy fines when there are absences. We are told that "even one day away is bad for their education"....
Er... Except when it's a day to blackmail the country to pay OTT pensions.
Or when there is the utterly ridiculous "occasional day" nonesense.
Or when there is "teacher training". Clearly this "training" can't happen in the FOURTEEN weeks they are NOT teaching?.
Will this day the kids have been denied their education be taken from this FOURTEEN weeks off?
Of course not.
Blame the intransigent Mr Gove.
What the unions are asking for is ridiculous. Pay rises regardless of performance, an unsustainable pension scheme and less accountability.
I expect more strikes because no government, regardless of colour, will give them what they want.

"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan
Illinois is a pipe dream. I fully expect SCOTUS to incorporate the 2nd Amendment and apply it to the states, but they won't overturn the Chicago law. They will remand the case to the lower court for reconsideration consistent with the ruling (and the Heller ruling, which will now apply to the states). This will take a couple years I assume. I also expect King Daley to do everything he can to make exercise of the right difficult, expensive and annoying . Remember, this is a guy who now wants the World Court to hear his case against gun manufacturers (the case that US Courts rejected). I expect a high-dollar registration fee, a ban on semi-automatic pistols or at the very least a ban on magazines larger than 8 or 10 rounds, an annual renewal requirement, etc. If you don't live here, you can be excused for not knowing the extent of Daley's unrelenting hostility towards guns, but I (sadly) assure you as long as he is in power, there is zero chance of concealed carry in Illinois - not even "may issue". Illinois shouldn't even be included in the poll.
yeah. what sigfan said. anyone with hope for illinois, abandon it now you're only gonna be disappointed. i used to live there.. and i left for a reason. because of daley. if you oust daley.. then maybe.. maybe there will be some hope. my hope it to see wisconsin do it after iowa.. that way maybe people in illinois will wake up and realize the daley way is not the right way and oust hm out of office.
It was a tie between Connecticut and Delaware for me. I don't know anything about Wisconsin except they don't allow any CC, right? I would think a state that is MAY ISSUE is more likely to become a state that is SHALL ISSUE.
I voted NJ. lolol!Ok it is my home state. I actually just applied for ccw in NJ. I am friends with a local retired Chief of
police. He told me to apply and use him as a reference. I received a phone call from local Pd. said come in, re-fingerprint, fill out mental health auth., and he will get it to the County Superior Court. My finger prints are on file already, so if the Chief in my local town was not going to recomend the approval, there would be NO need for new finger prints! Right??? or am I reading into this tooo much??

I choose WI. They were within an inch a few years ago, with a pro-gun governor they will get it.
DE and CT seem to be de facto shall-issues. They can deny permits but have basically decided that they won't unless there's an issue with the applicant. I got a CT permit by mail within 30 days.
I'm afraid the others will be dragged kicking and screaming, as the ones that may have enough votes to get a bill passed like IL and MD have committees headed by rabid anti-gunners who are always in safe districts. They shelve the bills and never have to answer for it, and give cover to others who would pay the price for their vote.

Re: 'V Geevarghese Mathew's hate messages in an IOC forum
Expand Messages
- Sir
Your explanation is simply superb. One who knows a very little about Vayaliparambil Thirumani would not have commented like V Gheevarghese made. But there is no surprise in it. IOC continues the leagacy of lie which was manifested in the Infamous " Thalayil Kaivechath arennu njan Kandilla" by their kottayam Saint. Now about switch overs people who do not want to take the Cross of christ are very much fancied by the physical wealth of IOC. They will be thier unto the dooms day. We need not worry about them as they are not sleeping but pretend to sleep.
With prayer
# 3323
- Dear All,
I belong to Vayaliparambil Pynadath family and I am the great great grandson of Vayaliparambil Mathu Itoop,the first signatory of historic Mulanthuruthy synod(1876),Late Mathu Itoop was also a permanent member of Managing committe formed by HH.Patriarch Peter IV after he consecrated bishops (incl Mor Gregorios of Parumala)for 6 (I think)diocese in India..
I published the web biography of Mor Gregorios,initially I never knew his great wisdom,leadership and vision and I thought he was an ordinary bishop,but loyalty was paramount to him,he never kissed the hands of any IOC bishops and his life was simple abiding by shalmootho.A genuine person of Vayaliparambil cannot easily support IOC as this family by God's grace was close to leadership of Syriac church of Antioch in India for 500 yrs.
There is also a rumour that Mor Gregorios Vayaliparambil was murdered by IOC leaders to create split as Church cannot be separated with his living,many still in Nedumbassery say it was a silent murder,his death in 1966,and even some Jacobite clergy betrayed him like Judas.
My grandfather Mathew Vayaliparambil was a diploma civil engineer in British India on gov service,who had his office near trikkunath seminary and had lunch daily with St.Athanasios in Seminary,he was adviser to St.Athanasios,he used to supply rice to seminary regulary from his paddy fields.He also was the architect of Mor Athanasios High school ,he built for his relative Mor Gregorios Vayaliparambil in 1939 and also St.George Jacobite church in 1949 at Nedumbassery. He was also first trustee of St.George church Nedumbassery and was also trustee of Mor sabor and Afroth Jacobite Church many times.He has met all Patriarchs who visited India.
My father late Dr. P M Mathew Vayaliparambil,did not even vist any IOC church,while he was running his own Hospital at Chalakudy,there was only IOC church in Koratty,he never visited that church,he even stopped subscribing Manorama few years.My mother who is also a doctor and a relative of late Theophilles of IOC also never endorse IOC ,she never visits IOC chapel near her house but goes to Jacobite church only.
It is true that IOC trustee P C Abraham has married from Vayaliparambil family but nobody supports or even recognise the existence of IOC or their catholicose in this family.Vayaliparambil Mor Gregorios was always loyal to the Holy Throne of Antioch,he was a close friend and collegue of Patriarch Yakup-III,he was chosen by Patriarch when he was a boy.
We do not know any such person called "V G Mathew",but recently there has been organised attempts by IOC to make the name of Mor Gregorios Vayaliparambil as an IOC member which is a lie.I had informed of this IOC strategy to Geevargese Mor Athanasios and HH.Patriarch Zakka I at Damascus.But Mor Athanasios has never understood seriousness of this,though he is also a relative of Vayaliparambil family.I have told him the solution,I think he has not yet acted on my solution.
IOC is devising a plan to portray Mor Gregorios Vayaliparambil as their member and there by claim the properties of Jacobite church,as nobody can deny his registered will.
Every family has some prodigal sons,but fortunately by God's grace we have not identified any with loyalty to IOC in vayaliparambil family even among the prodigal sons.
Also the family had earlier adopted some good Jacobite families from Arthat their original place to nedumbassery for socializing and gave initially land and title Cheria Vayaliparambil,this was done as family the only landlords of entire area felt isolated.Many families of this Cheria Vayaliparambil now delete name Cheria and keep name Vayaliparambil only.But there is no blood ties between both,even in Cheria Vayaliparambil which has emerged as a great family,there are no IOC supporters.Some former tenants of family after slavery was abolished in India ,use same name Vayaliparambil(Hindus & christians) ,i dont know anyone in that category supports IOC.
By God's grace so far nobody from Vayaliparambil Pynadath supports IOC and V Geevarghese Mathew is not known to us as stated by Fr.G Vayaliparambil.
I request Geevargese Mor Athanasios ,with whom I discussed this matter at Damascus to act immediately after consulting Catholicose Thomas I and other bishops,the solution I advised.
Bibu Philip Matthew
Vayaliparambil Pynadath

Target: United States Department of Fish & Wildlife Services
Goal: Stop the inhumane treatment and killing of feral cats by implementing trap-neuter-return programs in U.S. cities.
Although feral cats are not wild animals, the neglected and abandoned creatures are becoming increasingly wild. A recent Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute study indicated that around 2.4 billion birds and 12.7 billion small mammals are killed by feral and free-ranging cats every year. Since catch-neuter-release methods have proven effective in many communities, we must control the feral cat population humanely. Stop the unnecessary euthanasia of feral cats.
Following the recent study results, cat supporters called those staggering figures "bogus" and "ungrounded." Unlike wild animals, feral cats situate themselves near humans for basic survival. According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, "Feral cats do benefit from humans. Many people feed feral cats and some even go so far as to neuter them and provide veterinary care when needed. Even so, these cats are largely unapproachable. They must be trapped in order to be handled, and once trapped, often will not go near a trap again."
National advocacy organizations like Alley Cat Allies advocate humane treatment of feral cats through trap-neuter-return programs. Rather than simply killing off feral cat populations, Alley Cat Allies educates communities about proper trapping techniques and provides resources for neutering services.
Sign the below petition to urge U.S. cities to stop euthanizing feral cats and implement humane trap-neuter-return programs. These type of programs will help control the population of the estimated 30 million to 80 million feral cats in America, while ensuring that the species is also treated humanely.[gravityform id=1 name=Signthe Petition: ajax=false]
Dear United States Department of Fish & Wildlife Services,
The feral cat population has been a major problem for many U.S. cities in recent decades. However, euthanasia is not the answer. You must help cities around the country implement humane and effective trap-neuter-release programs so that the feral cat population does not continue to grow. These types of control techniques do not harm feral cats when done correctly and are supported by national advocacy organizations, like Alley Cat Allies.
I am urging you to work with U.S. state and city departments to stop the inhumane killing of feral cats as a means of population control. Since humane methods of controlling the population have proven effective, we must protect these abandoned creatures who need our help.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've visited the 'tex...
So yesterday I gave my girlfriend's '91 a full oil change and was happily driving it around - it's been working fine for the past few months. Last night it dropped to about -28C (-18.5F for you in the States), and this morning, when we tried to start it up, it cranked fine, fired right up, and then promptly stalled - the more times we tried, the longer it seemed to keep running before stalling. My initial idea was maybe the gas has gelled at that temperature and I neglected to put gas line antifreeze in it - and the gas tank was nearly empty, so I went and bought some gas and poured it in the tank. No change. Note that I do not have a block heater - if I did, it would be plugged in - I have one ready to install - that's my next project for when I have access to a heated garage.
It seems like fuel delivery is working properly, since it has enough to run for those few seconds that it does and every time it's restarted it gets another dose of fuel. I can confirm the pumps are running because I can hear them still running for a moment after the car stalls.
Engine is a 1.8L "RV" code (replacement for 2H by previous owner) with Digifant II
My ideas are:
fuel pump weak? doesn't make sense that it would happen so abruptly, it worked wonderfully yesterday.
blue CTS faulty? I unplugged it and tried to start it, it just started with less "pep" (I assume this disabled the idle stabilizer valve). Not sure what the proper resistance value across the terminals is for this temperature! the Bentley drops off at 0C
oxygen sensor? This is still the one that came with the car when we bought it a few months ago, so I cannnot vouch for its reliability...
Maybe it's the ECU or grounding? I haven't been able to thoroughly check this yet due to the weather and other plans but it's on the list...
Any ideas or experience would be wonderful.

Seven members of the Colorado Congressional Delegation called on a congressional conference committee to extend the wind energy production tax credit (PTC) as part of the payroll tax extension. The wind PTC has helped drive substantial economic growth in Colorado.
Colorado U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and Mark Udall and Colorado U.S. Representatives Diana DeGette, Ed Perlmutter, Jared Polis, Cory Gardner and Scott Tipton delivered a letter of support of the PTC today to the chairmen of the conference committee negotiating the extension of the payroll tax credit. The letter was delivered ahead of a meeting the committee will hold today.
In a letter to Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, and Rep. Dave Camp, chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, the bipartisan, bicameral group called for the payroll tax reduction package they are negotiating in conference to include the wind energy PTC, as well as a way to pay for the tax credit.
"The PTC has been very effective in facilitating new market penetration of wind energy and moving us toward a more diversified and cleaner energy portfolio," the Senators and members of Congress wrote in the letter. "A delay in this extension would do enormous damage to that progress. Unless the wind PTC is renewed in the first quarter of this year, new wind energy development projects and the thousands of jobs associated with those projects are predicted to drop off precipitously after 2012."
Colorado renewable energy leaders have called for an extension of the wind PTC.
"Manufacturing jobs are critical in America's economic recovery. The expiration of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) would have a devastating impact on Colorado, affecting not only jobs and investment at our large wind manufacturers, but the many supply chain manufacturers that serve the wind industry," said Tim Heaton and Lee Boughey, chairs of the Colorado Energy Coalition. "To provide the certainty that wind-energy companies need to create more jobs and investment in Colorado, the Colorado Energy Coalition endorses a three- to five-year extension of the PTC."
"As the only economic development-focused clean technology organization in Colorado, the Colorado Cleantech Industry Association (CCIA) and its 200 members, strongly encourage Congress to extend the Wind Production Tax Credit (PTC). Colorado is a good example of a state that has weathered the economic crisis reasonably well because of the jobs brought to the state by the wind technology and manufacturing industry," said Christine Shapard, executive director of Colorado Cleantech Industry Association. "We've seen job growth in smaller, component providers, as well as supply chain partners to the large manufacturers, indicating the breadth of the impact this industry has on the entire state. If the United States wants to bring back its manufacturing base -- in both small and large companies - the wind industry is one of the best places to start. We urge Congress to extend the PTC to enable the continued growth of this important industry."
Colorado is a wind energy leader, currently generating the third highest percentage of power from wind of any state in the nation. Colorado is home to several major wind energy developers and wind turbine manufacturing facilities, employing upwards of 6,000 workers statewide.

According to Steel, "there were black panthers on campus who had guns."
In 1971, a group of radical Mizrahi activists even appropriated the term, calling themselves the "black panthers."
Governor, the black panthers in Oakland are threatening a blood bath.
Their urge to shout about black panthers and unfair DREAM Acts is utterly primal.
What was new about the black panthers was their attempt to organize an armed militia within the law.
She returned to the United States and became involved with the black panthers and the Communist Party.
I felt the mangling of the appetites Of the black panthers, of the savage kites, That were so fain to rend and pick my flesh.
The lions roared again, and the black panthers snarled behind their prison bars.
In these we often catch full-grown tigers, black panthers, and leopards.
Still others led leopards and black panthers on chains as an added protection to those they guarded.
