- I've done an hour-long radio show interview
- I've written a blog post about oral historians as modern-day firefighters
- I've written a blog post about how a fire can destroy a family's history and legacy
and it is only Wednesday! Well, this is how life is for me during October which is National Family History Month here in the United States.
Neither Wind Nor Snow Nor Fire . . .
To borrow and modify a phrase from the United States Postal Service Creed, as I've been busy and focusing on preserving your family history, I started to think of the various threats to not only one's own family history, but to the genealogy industry in general.
We can all come up with a list of various threats including fire, flood, poor archival practices, and even data loss. But even all these threats put together don't equal the destruction of the biggest threat to family history right now: IGNORANCE.
Ignorance and The Threat to Genealogy
For all the blog posts, websites, books and media stories about how to scan your photos and documents, how to preserve items using sound archival practices, etc., what the genealogy community needs to confront is the damage done by ignorance. In what form does this damage take place? Consider some recent developments:
- The closure of the Georgia State Archives to the public.
- The contemplated restrictions on the Social Security Death Index.
- The recent backlash to a proposed cemetery tour by a community in Oklahoma.
What Is The Answer?
I don't have an answer or a set of answers. I just have more questions:
- Is it my genealogist's perception and perspective as a dedicated researcher that demands someone actually put some time and effort into finding facts before proposing so-called remedies? Is it too much to ask?
- Is it an individual duty to combat ignorance in the genealogy field or do we all need to take time, look up from our books and keyboards, and spend a five minutes or an hour a week letting our friends, family and even strangers know why family history is so important?
- Is this a recent phenomenon or were our ancestors also just as ignorant about their own history?
There will always be folks ignorant about genealogy and family history. I just pray that years from now, we don't have to work so hard to combat that ignorance.

Five. Do I hear six? The Mets will try to extend their winning streak today behind John Maine, who has run hot and cold this year. When he's cold, he usually has one bad inning – very Perez-like – that derails him.
Today, the Mets will be without manager Jerry Manuel, who was suspended for one game for bumping umpire Bill Welke Thursday night arguing the Shane Victorino play. Sandy Alomar Sr. will manage the team.
Here's the line-up:

Index 221
"In the preface, Reiman says he hopes the book will be of interest to both the educated layperson and the professional philosopher; in this respect it succeeds admirably. Written in clear and lucid prose, the book will be a valuable resource for students looking for an introduction to Marx and Rawls's thought on freedom, justice and capitalism." (Res Publica, 1 March 2013)
"In this way, Reiman's exciting book is a new and timely contribution for us today." (Marx And Philosophy Review of Books, 2 June 2014)
"It is likely that Reiman has good replies to these critical comments. In any case, independently of whether his core argument succeeds or falters, the distinctions, concepts, and arguments Reiman develops in As Free and as Just as Possibleare of great significance. They need to be studied and discussed by all those interested in Marx and justice, the real conditions of freedom, Rawls, and post-capitalism." (Social Theory and Practice, 1 October 2013)
"As Free and as Just as Possible offers a very accessible introduction to two major political thinkers, John Rawls and Karl Marx, to the relation between their respective theories and the work of John Locke and Immanuel Kant, as well as more recent theories of Jan Narveson and G.A. Cohen." (Krisis, 1 December 2013)
"Written in clear and lucid prose, the book will be a valuable resource for students looking for an introduction to Marx and Rawls's thought on freedom, justice and capitalism. But specialists will also find much of interest here, too, since as we have seen the book is not just an overview of Marx and Rawls's thought on these issues, but an imaginative attempt to fuse their insights to create a new theory of social justice. Whether or not one is fully convinced by that final synthesis, Reiman deserves credit for attempting to show that, while the idea of combining liberal and socialist has a history, it may still have a future." (Res Publica, 8 October 2013)
"This is an important effort to reinvigorate modern liberalism by applying essential insights from a fading Marxism. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers, graduate students, and research faculty." (Choice, 1 September 2013)

Below is the text of a staff report on a proposed resolution of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to support a BART study on a possible extension of service to West Contra Costa County north of El Cerrito and Richmond
To: Board of Supervisors
From: David Twa, County Administrator
Date: May 7, 2013
Subject: Resolution of Support and Approval of a wBART Study
ADOPT Resolution No. 2013-196 to support and approve of a wBART study for a BART or alternative rail extension that may serve the communities of San Pablo, Richmond's Hilltop, Pinole and Hercules and link them to existing BART services at the Richmond or El Cerrito Del Norte BART station, as recommended by Supervisor Glover.
No fiscal impact on the County General Fund from this action, as there is no cost to the County arising from support of a study.
On April 16, Mr. Zakhary Mallett introduced himself as the new District 7 Director for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. Mr. Mallett has requested the Board of Supervisors' consideration of adopting a resolution of support for a feasibility study of wBART: A BART or alternative rail extension in West Contra Costa County.
After introducing himself to each of the City Councils in West Contra Costa County over the last several weeks, including his priority of pressing for wBART, Mr. Mallett noted that the City Councils had an interest in helping realize traffic relief on the most-congested commute corridor of the San Francisco Bay Region, Interstate 80, through supporting the study of wBART.
In order to make this support official and build political momentum for this effort, Mr. Mallett has asked each City Council to adopt a resolution of support for the study of wBART. San Pablo and Pinole were the first two cities to take actions toward this end. Pinole passed a resolution of support on April 2, which was detailed in a West County Times article. On Monday, April 8, the City of San Pablo adopted a resolution that amended their annual work plan to include a policy item for "Traffic Congestion Feasibility Studies," which allowed them to adopt a resolution supporting the study of wBART at their Council meeting on April 15.
On April 23, Mr. Mallett will be presenting a history and background of wBART to the Hercules City Council. Mr. Mallett is anticipating that the Hercules City Council will vote to adopt a resolution of support for the study at their next meeting. On May 7, 2013 the Richmond City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of a resolution of support for the study.
Attached to this item is a letter to Supervisor Gioia from Richard Mitchell, Director Planning and Building Services for the City of Richmond regarding the proposed study to consider extending BART from (the) Del Norte Station.
If the Board of Supervisors does not adopt the Resolution, there will be no official position of support from Contra Costa County for the wBART study.
Resolution No. 2013/196
WHEREAS, the communities of West Contra Costa County have paid into the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) for more than forty (40) years and not benefited wholly from BART services; and
WHEREAS, West Contra Costa County is the densest subregion of Contra Costa County; and WHEREAS, the West Contra Costa County subregion has the highest count and share of local residents who are low-income and/or transit-dependent in Contra Costa County; and
WHEREAS, the Interstate 80 corridor has been rated the most-congested travel corridor in the San Francisco Bay Area region for more than a decade by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC); and
WHEREAS, more than 14,000 cumulative hours are wasted in traffic each weekday on Interstate 80 between Crockett and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge; and
WHEREAS, it is projected that by 2025, 68% of the West Contra Costa County working community will commute to locations outside of West Contra Costa County and 60% of those commuters will commute to destinations in Berkeley, Oakland, or San Francisco; and
WHEREAS, with more than 8,000 average weekday riders, the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station is the most-congested regional transfer station in the BART network and second most-congested home origin station of the East Bay; and
WHEREAS, nearly 60% of the riders at the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station live north of both El Cerrito and Richmond; and
WHEREAS, relieving traffic in the vicinity of the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station in order to promote economic and/or transit-oriented development is a county priority.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the board of supervisors of the County of Contra Costa, California finds that the existing public transit infrastructure that serves West Contra Costa County commuters is insufficient at meeting both existing and future travel needs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the board of supervisors of the County of Contra Costa, California provides its support and approval of a wBART study for a BART or alternative rail extension that may serve the communities of San Pablo, Richmond's Hilltop, Pinole, and Hercules and link them to existing BART services at the Richmond or El Cerrito Del Norte BART stations.
Contact: L. DeLaney, 925-335-1097
I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of an action taken and entered on the minutes of the board of supervisors on the date shown.
ATTESTED: May 7, 2013
David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the board of supervisors

Here they are:
I would like to make a suggestion to folks who like to write multiple really long posts. Why not just post your first paragraph as a teaser, and then a link to your own blog with the rest of your comments for those who would like to read the whole thing?
Long comments tend to turn people away from reading other people's more succinct comments.
- I.D.R.C. said...
That comment goes against everything you would find in an economic or political science class.
I'm not at all surprised about that, and more's the pity. It's getting worse.Take a good look at who controls textbooks. They all come from a review board in Texas.
Democracy doesn't trump capitalism in my mind-- it trumps capitalism, period.
From dictionary.com:
1. government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
2. a state having such a form of government: The United States and Canada are democracies.
3. a state of society characterized by formal equality of rights and privileges.
4. political or social equality; democratic spirit.
5. the common people of a community as distinguished from any privileged class; the common people with respect to their political power.
an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, esp. as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth.
An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
Origin: 1850–55
Which one sounds like a place to live?
Take note of the origin; I believe it was first used by Marx as a perjorative. No surprise it surfaces around the time of the robber barons.
The word Capitalism did not exist during the American Revolution. It was not a goal of the founders, but Democracy is. They could not have relied on its definition in creating the country, nor is the definition we have the result of their aims and labors.
So why should we use it? What does it clarify, if you are not a banker or industrialist?
The founders were not crazy about bankers or industrialists, as both tend to take more and more control from the people. They saw them as necessary evils to be closely monitored, not saviors to be glorified.
I would state unequivocally that whenever and wherever capitalism rubs up against Democracy, that capitalism must lose.
- Mellanumi said...
Okay, your altruism has made you incredibly naive. The founding fathers wanted private ownership,and the right to pursue private financial ownership, which are tenets, ta-da, of Capitalism. You are arguing for the denotative concepts of both democracy and capitalism without understanding the context and the connotation of both AT THE TIME in which they were used by the founding fathers. So yes, the founding fathers were very much concerned by private ownership, which is why they reacted against, you guessed it, TAXES -- which could be monetary and in the form of goods like potatoes or tobacco -- and who harvested the goods and tobacco? You guessed it again. THE PEOPLE! And in Greek, the word "demos" means people. You cannot project your idealistic view of a Democratic-Republic onto the past conception of the phrase's meaning. The founding fathers were very much acquainted with classics and philology and philosophy, so they were very understanding of what a democracy was and what the economic basis of democracy was. And they understand both the Greek form of democracy and the Roman adaptation of it. I like living in a Capitalist society -- I like overachievers who create a company in which my skills might flourish and pay my mortgage; I like people who have fire in them to achieve. Without Capitalism (and ta-da Capitalism even exists in communist societies or else there would be no international trade), we would have no internet, no industrial revolution, no farms, no produce, nothing. Socialism is the artificial product of a governmental system to provide for those who can't harvest with their own hands. So yes, I want to live in a Capitalist society, because capitalism implies private ownership and rewards for your own hard work and diligence. Does that mean people won't take advantage of the system? NO. Indeed there are leeches out there and parasites, but that doesn't mean the system is flawed. If you really think any form of democracy can exist without Capitalism, point out one successful governmental structure that has done so. Every socialist country was hypocritically capitalist at some point, and still is if they have international trade. You really don't have the benefits of a classical education. You should read Livy's the "Rise of Rome" in latine, books 1-5 for a clear understanding of democracy. AND you should read Alexis De Toqueville's "Democracy in America." Capitalism is rule by the people; democracy is rule by the people. You seem to think the collective trumps the will of the invidual -- hello! Have you heard of the freedom of speech!!! That is the right of the indivual. So championing democracy as an antidote to Capitalism is misguided. And don't quote Marx to me because there is not one truly Marxist regime. There are five stages to Utopia and the final stage before Utopia is the point at which the leaders of a socialist regime divest themselves of the private property and return it all back to the farmers and divest themselves of power. Has Castro done that? Has China done that? The Marxist is fundamentally flawed because those who achieve revolution can never step down from their throne. And Marx was opposed to any form of power whatsoever. So yes, give me Capitalism or give me death!

"After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd."

IDRC c&pd Democracy:
1. government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
Then by definition the US is NOT a Democracy, IDRC. Because: We have many people in gov't that weren't freely elected by We the People; We have laws jammed down our throats that we aren't allowed to vote on or have any say about.
The people speak but the people we elected don't listen. That's NOT a Democracy.

1 lb very thin london broil or flank steak
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of one lemon
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
fresh ground pepper
hot peppers
Combine all of ingredients for the marninade in a ziplock bag. Add the meat, seal and marinate for 2 hours. Meanwhile, slice tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms and set aside. To caramelize onions: heat about 2 tablespoons of oil. Add onions and saute about 20 minutes or until they are brown and translucent. Add mushrooms to the mushrooms towards the end if desired. Remove the onions/mushrooms to a bowl and fry the steak in the same pan you cooked the onions in, until no longer pink, adding a bit of olive oil if needed. Assemble your cold toppings on the homemade rolls. I like to create a barrier for the meat by lining one side with tomato, and a thin layer of mayo on the other, which keeps the sandwich from getting soggy*.
and top with the steak and then the onions/mushrooms. Serve very hot and with lots of napkins.
*I like to be very scientific when it comes to my sandwich making. You should see my BLTs.

Things are looking better for the Hood River Valley Eagles.
Things can't get much worse for The Dalles-Wahtonka Eagle-Indians.
The Eagles handed TDW its second consecutive lopsided defeat with a 56-6 thrashing Friday night in The Dalles.
Nothing much changed in the lower half of the 5A rankings Friday night, meaning both teams should make the play-in round in two weeks. However, one team will be going in with its swagger back, while the other's offense is on life support.
"This was huge," HRV coach Caleb Sperry said. "Especially in a season like this where we have had a lot should-have-beens and could-have-beens."
The Eagles overcame some early struggles and put together the type of complete game their coach had been waiting for.
HRV fumbled the ball away on the goal line on its first possession, but after that nothing TDW tried slowed down the Eagles.
Quarterback Cody Walker had a career day, throwing for 457 yards and five touchdowns before being lifted in the fourth quarter with the game in hand.
He also rushed for 49 yards and got HRV's first touchdown on a QB keeper from the 1-yard line.
"If I can run and pass we are that much better," Walker said.
The Eagles fumbled the ball again on their next possession but the defense held the Eagle-Indians.
When TDW set up to punt, the ball flew over the head of kicker Nolan McCall, who ran to pick up the ball and then ran past three Eagles in the backfield.
In previous weeks with the Eagles' luck, McCall may have just kept running for a first down, but the Eagles caught him after a 2-yard gain and took the ball over on downs.
Walker again quickly went to work connecting with three different receivers on the ensuing drive, and finishing it when Cole Hunter came wide open across the middle for an 18-yard touchdown.
From that point it was all Eagles, all the time.
Gabi Nuno intercepted Chaise Schroll to set up another short field for HRV, and Walker took advantage by swinging a pass to Andrew Thompson in the right flat for an 11-yard score.
The HRV defense picked off Schroll four times in the game, with their only mistake coming early in the second quarter when Austin DeHart was left uncovered down the home sideline for a 60-yard touchdown - the sole score for TDW.
The Eagle-Indians squandered a momentary lull in the Eagle scoring and could not get back in the game with their next three possessions ending in two punts and an interception.
Following the interception, the Eagles needed only two plays to resume their onslaught when Walker found Hunter again for a 44-yard strike where he was again left open behind the defense.
HRV poured it on in the second half.
"My O-line was giving me time to throw and we had a good scheme going in," Walker said. "It felt good and all my guys were running their routes good."
The Eagles quickly marched down the field on their first possession of the half, using a 42-yard screen pass from Walker to Gabi Nuno to set up a 10-yard touchdown catch by Eli Fults.
The remaining scores all came in a flurry in the fourth quarter. Walker found Malcolm McCurdy behind the TDW defense and he sprinted 54 yards for the score with 6:08 to play.
At that point Walker and many of the first-teamers checked out, only to have the backups keep rolling to points. Jeremy Fischer and Wyatt Webber both ran for touchdowns in the closing minutes as HRV handed TDW its second consecutive loss by 49 points or more.
The Eagles needed to win to not only make the playoffs a certainly but also to establish any sort of momentum after several frustrating losses.
"I think we can play a lot better still," Sperry said. "There are still some areas we can improve on but we are getting closer. We can definitely make some noise in the playoffs."
While Sperry may not have been willing to call the HRV win a complete game, it was as close to any as they've played this season. The Eagles led wire to wire, created four turnovers, converted two-thirds of their third downs, rushed for 183 yards at nearly six yards a carry between six ball carriers, passed for 464 yards, outgained TDW in total yards 647 to 292 and, of course, put 55 points on the scoreboard.
The offensive fireworks should be enough to make any play-in round opponent sit up and take notice.
Most importantly the Eagles also snapped a two-game losing skid to The Dalles and returned the Old Wash Bucket, the annual trophy in the rivalry, to Hood River.
"It feels really good to get that trophy back," Sperry said.
Up next: The Eagles host 4A Crook County Friday in their regular season home finale.
The 4A Cowboys have struggled to a 3-5 record and are 0-4 since winning three of their first four games. They lost to Summit 27-6 Friday. In addition to Summit the Cowboys have also played one other common opponent with HRV, falling 49-15 to Pendleton on Sept. 9.
Around the CRC: Pendleton took home the CRC league title Friday by pulling out a 26-12 win over Hermiston. Pendleton scored 13 unanswered points in the second half to put the game away.
Eye on the rankings: Despite beating TDW, HRV failed to pull ahead of them in the rankings. The Eagles are ranked No. 12 in the north region (No. 31 overall at 5A) while TDW is ranked No. 11 (No. 30 overall). However, HRV could pull ahead of TDW in the final rankings with a win over Crook County as TDW currently has no opponent scheduled for Friday.
If the rankings stand, the Eagles would play at the No. 5 north seed (likely St. Helens, Liberty or Sandy) Nov. 4 in the play-in round.

This project is not yet ready for prime time
Thank you for the article about the soaring costs of Southwest light-rail transit proposals, particularly as they relate to the routing or rerouting of freight trains ("Southwest rail costs soar," July 18). While the potential financial impacts may create political challenges, the neighborhoods struggling with this issue are also concerned about impacts that are harder to quantify.
Minneapolis residents want to preserve green space and a bike trail heavily used by people throughout the metro area. St. Louis Park is considering how a 20-foot earthen berm that would separate trains from car traffic might also divide our city down the middle. Angry advocates on both sides are trying to talk over one another. Absent from the debate are any tangible details about the likely benefits of a new light-rail line. I believe that the Southwest line will encourage public and private investments in our communities, but that belief is being tested as I witness people minimizing the concerns of others. If we cannot find a way to rise above our own self-interests and balance the needs of people who live in all five cities along the Southwest Corridor, the availability of public funds should be the least of our concerns.
MATTHEW FLORY, St. Louis Park
• • •
The southwest suburbs have lived with freeway gridlock for a generation that spills onto Minneapolis streets. Hennepin County wisely bought railroad right of way back in 1984 to provide a direct, inexpensive route for a light-rail line to Hopkins and Eden Prairie to help alleviate this congestion. However, the Minnesota Department of Transportation created a monster in 2001 by closing the freight-rail connection across Hiawatha Avenue. Now, the added cost to support freight service to western Minnesota, along with threatened lawsuits by residents in the Kenwood neighborhood and in St. Louis Park, threaten to kill the Southwest light-rail project. This must not be allowed to happen.
The preferred route through Kenwood does not serve Minneapolis residents very well and does not provide enough space for both light-rail and freight-rail tracks. The threatened lawsuits could tie up the project for years. A better alignment would continue east along the former railroad route to Lyndale or Nicollet Avenues, then head north into downtown via a Hennepin Avenue transit mall. That would serve more people, avoid conflicts with freight trains, possibly complement future streetcar lines and save cost to build the Southwest line.

Imagine pipeline as many exhaust pipes
Here's an example of the outcomes that the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has knowingly allowed in granting approval to Enbridge Energy's plans to boost the capacity of its Alberta Clipper pipeline in Minnesota ("Oil pipeline from Canada gets state OK for expansion," July 18): Consuming the planned 120,000-barrel-per-day increment of tar sands oil will inject an additional 26 million metric tons per year of climate-upsetting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This is the equivalent of the combined exhausts of 5.5 million continuously operating cars. Are today's droughts, floods, wildfires and tropical storms not severe enough to satisfy these people?
STAN SATTINGER, Minneapolis

Administrative costs remain an issue
The July 16 editorial ("Smart reforms on health plan costs") essentially recommends that we "move along — there is nothing to see here."
Actually, there is plenty that the public has been disallowed from seeing in the funding of state-funded health care. Since Minnesota privatized its health care programs more than 20 years ago, state overseers have been disallowed from auditing critical data held by our familiar health plans. They hold their paid claims records secret from state auditors for fear of revealing how much they are profiting at the public trough. This accusation is confirmed by independent auditors retained by the state to lift the financial curtain.
The editorial also buys the health plans' line that our expense woes stem from an increase in treatment costs. Costs certainly are rising, but they are not what distinguishes American health care, in Minnesota or any other state. The administrative costs to feed our gaggle of private health plans, called "fragmentation" in the field, is what distinguishes us. Thirty-one cents of every dollar you and I send to the private health plans are wasted on administrative overhead.
The frustrating thing is that none of this expensive nonsense is necessary. We could cut out the costly health plan middlemen and provide direct service from a fund shared by all Minnesotans. We would thereby save money, yet cover everyone. A current legislative proposal, the Minnesota Health Plan, would do just that.
JOEL CLEMMER, St. Paul

Most employees knew concessions were needed
The July 17 Letter of the Day ("Twinkies return, this time as canary in coal mine") overlooked a few minor facts about the demise of Hostess. I worked for the company for 10 years and have a little different take on what happened. As Hostess was coming out of bankruptcy, most of the employees and the unions representing them recognized that the company was struggling and agreed to concessions to keep the bakeries operating in the hope they could become profitable again — all except the bakers union (about 2 percent of the workforce), whose members' greed got the best of them as they voted to strike, effectively shutting down the company and putting their union brethren out of work.

Fewer appointments should need sign-off
The main problem with nominations to federal posts is not so much how long they take, or the obstructions caused by one party against the other, but the fact that so many posts need Senate approval. It makes sense to have the Cabinet posts that report directly to the president be reviewed by the Senate, but after that all posts below Cabinet level should be able to be appointed without review. If the president was elected, why can't he/she be trusted to make appointments to federal posts?

I was so excited when Jackie from The Seaside Baker sent me an e-mail titled "Palm Springs".
Palm Springs, what could this be about, something fun, I've never been to Palm Springs, is she inviting me to Palm Springs? These were all the thoughts running through my mind as I opened the e-mail. And sure enough, it was something fun and she was inviting me to Palm Springs!
Jackie was part of an exclusive group of food bloggers invited by the California Farm Water Coalition to participate in a weekend tour of farms in the Coachella Valley and areas surrounding Palm Springs. They had a last-minute spot open up and Jackie recommended me (thanks girl!)
Next thing you know we're standing high above the Coachella Valley on our way home from an amazing weekend in Palm Springs and beyond!
We started the weekend by doing a little carrot picking.
Or should I say, carrot shoveling! Along the way we learned all about the water needed to grow the food, such as these carrots!
Did you know that it takes 894 gallons of water to produce the food one person consumes in a day? That's a lot of water!
We then headed over to Seaview farms where they're growing a whole lot of fresh citrus and dates!
Date trees on the left, citrus on the right, I'd like to live in the middle!
Here's another fun fact for you: California annually exports $12.9 billion in farm commodities to 194 countries and needs 41% of the state's dedicated water supply to do so!
In fact, 99% of the United States dates come from California! And who could live without delicious Bacon Wrapped Dates, right?
After eating up some delicious grapefruit, sliced right off the tree we headed over to the Salton Sea!
The sea is sustained by agricultural runoff from the Imperial and Coachella valleys and is a haven for hundreds of species of fish and aquatic birds!
After the Salton Sea we headed into Palm Springs and off to dinner. After a lovely dinner at Jackalope Ranch, we retired to Indian Wells Resort and Hotel to recharge for Day 2!
Day 2 began at the Oasis Date Gardens.
Yes, more dates!! They took us on a quick tour of their facilities and let us try a date shake! Yum!
For 100 years Oasis Date Farm has been providing hundreds of thousands of dates around the globe, they now produce over 1.4 MILLION pounds of dates per year!
A typical chicken sandwich requires about 200 gallons of water to produce, so just imagine how much water it takes to grow 1.4 MILLION pounds of dates?
After hanging with Mr Date Man, we headed over to the Coachella Valley Water Recharge Facility to check out the operations they have going on!
This facility uses Colorado River water delivered to the valley via the Coachella Canal, across 120 miles to Lake Cahuilla in La Quinta. The water then travels along existing irrigation pipes, is pumped into 39 recharge basins and left to percolate into the ground.*
The facility can recharge the Coachella Valley's aquifer with up to 40,000 acre-feet of water annually. One acre-foot is 325,851 gallons.*
Pretty cool stuff! I'm up for anything that helps my delicious California fruits and veggies grow!
After that, it was over the mountains and through the woods to
grandmothers house San Diego we go!
Thank you to the California Farm Water Coalition for the fun and informative weekend!
Check out more information at "Food Grows Where The Water Flows" on Facebook and give them a "like" to learn more interesting facts about how food is grown in the great state of California!

Postpartum Body Image and Weight Loss
By Marie Zahorick
Romeoville IL
and Valeri Webber
Benicia CA USA
From NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 17 No. 6, September-October 2000, pp. 156-59, 145
We provide articles from our publications from previous years for reference for our Leaders and members. Readers are cautioned to remember that research and medical information change over time
Once the challenges of childbirth are past and a mother has held her new baby and counted fingers and toes, she turns her attention to the dramatic changes pregnancy and childbirth have worked on her body. The first sight of a sagging postpartum tummy can shock even the slimmest, most self-assured woman. For the rest of us, the sight can be absolutely overwhelming.
Adjusting to a post-pregnancy shape may be even more difficult than coping with the changes of pregnancy. Pregnancy represents the biggest change in a woman's body since puberty. As in adolescence, during pregnancy, a woman's body seems to be out of her control and at the whims of a mysterious hormonal tidal wave. Emotions can run high, as in those uncomfortable teenage years. After the baby is born, the stress from sleeplessness and total responsibility for a new human being can intensify the dismay many mothers feel about their physical appearance. This is not the same body they had nine short months ago - or even a few weeks ago. The tight, growing roundness of pregnancy is replaced by loose skin and a "fat" tummy that does not automatically shrink back into place. Most women want to return to their pre-pregnancy body as quickly as possible and end up disappointed and depressed when the extra weight seems not only to linger, but also remains distributed differently.
The Changes Pregnancy Brings
In addition to the baby's weight, a pregnant woman carries about 15 additional pounds from the weight of the placenta, amniotic fluids, the enlarged uterus and breasts, and extra blood, plus about another seven pounds of extra fat stores (Sears 1997). Each of these is essential to the healthy development of the baby and the well being of the mother. When a woman gives birth, she automatically loses some of that weight - the baby, the placenta, and the amniotic fluid. In the next few days, the extra blood and fluids needed to sustain the pregnancy are gradually reabsorbed or excreted from the mother's body. The uterus returns to its size from before pregnancy within six weeks. The fat stored during pregnancy, however, does not automatically disappear.
Women's bodies tend to store up fat in order to nourish babies both during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Though scientists have long believed that new fat cells were formed only during infancy and puberty, recent research has shown that women actually add new fat cells during the last trimester of pregnancy as well (Mermel 1991). This may explain why so many women have trouble losing weight after pregnancy, even if they didn't have trouble controlling their weight previously. Fat cells don't go away. You can shrink them with diet and exercise, but once they're there, fat cells are always ready and eager to store energy. This is your body's way of protecting you and your baby from famine. Unfortunately, in societies where being thin is more desirable than being well-padded, the fat stored as part of a healthy pregnancy may be unfairly characterized as "baby fat." Women are expected to lose it as quickly as possible.
Perceiving the body's normal attempt to protect off-spring as "baby fat" is only one of many misperceptions that women (and others) may have after childbirth. Despite all the preparations for a new baby, many women do not anticipate all the ways in which having a child will affect their bodies. Breasts are fuller because they are producing milk. Nipples unaccustomed to hungry newborns may be tender for a time. Stitches from cesarean births or episiotomies may be irritating or painful, and this pain sometimes lingers for months. A tight belly that was full of baby is now empty and the abdominal muscles are loose and flabby.
Loss of Control
Many women are surprised to find that their body does not immediately go back to its shape from before pregnancy. In addition to these personal expectations, husbands, family members, friends, and media images add to the pressure, warning that having a baby is no excuse for "letting yourself go." Yet few women are able to regain their pre- pregnancy figures. Childbearing and the passage of time change bodies in irrevocable ways.
Still, mothers try. For some women, losing weight can be one way of regaining control over their drastically changed lives. The reasoning may be, "My life is crazy, I hardly sleep, my baby cries all the time, and I can't seem to finish washing the dishes. But at least I am losing weight." Women who have previously suffered from eating disorders may be especially vulnerable to this kind of thinking, since eating disorders may be linked to a desire for more control over one's life (Korte 1994).
The desire to "get my own body back" can be a very serious concern for some mothers. Many women, especially first-time mothers, are overwhelmed by the intense physical intimacy of caring for a nursing newborn. If her partner is eager to resume a physical relationship, it can add to a woman's feeling of being out of control of her own body.
Loss of Support
The postpartum period is very different from the months in which a woman is pregnant, radiant, and the center of attention. "One reason many women enjoy pregnancy is that they are not expected to look skinny," writes Sheila Kitzinger in her book, The Year after Childbirth. During this nine-month reprieve, women who have struggled with body image and weight loss issues rejoice at not obsessing over every single calorie. After all, pregnant women are expected to eat well and gain weight. One woman remembers, "After a weigh-in at one obstetrician's appointment, the doctor told me to gain more weight. I felt like cheering because I had official medical approval to eat more and not worry about getting fat." Currently, health care providers advise that women gain between 25- 35 pounds during pregnancy, more for a multiple pregnancy.
In contrast, women who had children in the 1960s and 1970s were often advised to gain only 15 pounds. One older woman who had gained 15 pounds during pregnancy said, "Right after I had my first baby, I stepped on the scale and I had lost all the weight I gained." Stories like this coming from the baby's aunts or grandmothers, however well meaning, can undermine a new mother's confidence and feed a subtle sense of competition between her and some of the women who form her support system.
Other aspects of a mother's support system may fall away after her baby's birth, too. When women are pregnant, they receive emotional support and positive attention from family, health care providers, even strangers on the street who encourage them and chat about babies. However, after the birth, new mothers can become isolated and lose that support and attention. With many people, the woman takes a back seat to her new baby. When their attention turns from baby to mother, most people will comment on physical appearances before they comment on emotional concerns, especially if they are not close friends or family. They may say, "You look great, so thin," rather than, "I think it's really great that you're breastfeeding." Everybody likes compliments, so losing weight may be a way of regaining positive attention from others.
Media images of mothers "doing it all" add extra pressure. Each televised entertainment award show seems to feature at least one celebrity who has given birth only weeks before, yet managed to exercise and diet herself into a skin-tight strapless evening gown. Of course, celebrities are financially motivated to maintain a slender physique. However, many mothers unfairly criticize themselves if they aren't able to fit into their non-maternity wardrobe in a matter of weeks. They ignore the fact that they aren't paying others to take care of their house and their baby while they fast and exercise every day with a personal trainer. They also ignore the fact that most of us don't took much like models or movie stars even before we have babies. Rushing one's body back into shape may not be wise. Exercising strenuously in the early postpartum weeks can interfere with the healing of the uterus.
While some women may diet to regain a sense of control over their lives postpartum, others may find themselves eating more than ever. Mothering a newborn can feel overwhelming and eating can become a way to nurture oneself, soothe the blues, pass time, shake off fatigue, and ease the tedium of one's day-to-day routine. With careful, healthy food choices, this may not be a problem, since breastfeeding uses extra calories. But too often "comfort food" means sweets and high-fat snacks. This leads to weight gain rather than weight loss, and in the long run, a mother may feel worse about herself rather than better.
Losing Weight
The good news for most women is that breastfeeding is an easy way to burn an extra 500-600 calories a day. While nursing a baby, the mother is doing the best for her baby and also helping herself shed unwanted pounds. The weight may not come off as quickly as a mother may hope, but it will eventually be lost. According to THE BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK, "Breastfeeding mothers tend to lose more weight when their babies are three to six months old than formula-feeding mothers who consume fewer calories. One study of mothers at one month postpartum found that mothers who breastfed (either exclusively or partially) had slimmer hips and weighed less than women whose babies received only formula" (LLLI 1997). Breastfeeding can be an ideal time to lose weight, since lactation seems to mobilize even fat accumulated before pregnancy.
Health care providers advise women not to diet for at least the first six weeks postpartum to allow the body to recover from childbirth and establish a good supply of milk. Rapid weight loss can reduce milk supply. Check with a health care provider before starting any exercise or diet program to rule out any medical conditions that would interfere. Three books that contain practical information on postpartum weight loss and exercise are: THE WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING ("Nutritional Know How" chapter), Eat Well, Lose Weight While Breastfeeding, by Eileen Behan, RD, and Eating Expectantly, by Bridget Swinney, MS, RD.
Commit yourself to change, but do it "gradually and with love." It took nine months to put the weight on, and during that time, you probably weren't responsible for the care of a totally dependent human being. Give yourself some time to make life-altering changes. Getting fit and staying fit requires a lifetime commitment to healthful eating and exercise, and this kind of change doesn't happen overnight. People who lose weight rapidly are less likely to maintain the loss for life. Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, by Christiane Northrup, includes two chapters on changing your diet gradually and incorporating exercise into your life.
While breastfeeding does help most mothers lose weight, there are limits. A mother who has not met her weight loss goals may feel frustrated, especially if other new mothers she knows look fabulously flat-tummied soon after birth. One way to avoid discouragement is to set realistic goals that are meaningful to you. Try aiming for the largest clothing size you'd be happy with rather than the clothing size of a model. Or make your goal the lowest weight you have maintained for a year since you've become an adult rather than what you weighed when you graduated from high school. Some women decide that all they want to do is to feel more fit so they can manage the stairs or keep up with their toddlers at the playground without feeling out of breath. You can always set new goals later. Losing just five to ten percent of your current weight can bring major physical and psychological benefits. Becoming more fit can increase your enjoyment of life.
Write down all your accomplishments, whether you exercise for 15 minutes or 45, lose two pounds, or resist the sweet desserts at a family party. Find ways other than the scale to track your improvements. Check your measurements, your blood pressure, your endurance, your resting heart rate, or the fit of your clothes. It's common to reach a "plateau" where weight loss slows or even stops for a while. If this happens, focusing on other goals and improvements can help keep you motivated. Reward and congratulate yourself every step along the way with nonfood treats. Over time, you'll be able to look back and see how much you've changed your life and improved your health.
Visualize yourself fit and healthy. Admire the parts of your body that you do appreciate. Avoid restrictive or extreme eating plans, which can lead to a feeling of deprivation and decrease your milk supply. They are also harder to follow in the years when you are responsible for a small child. Reduce your portions, use common sense, and eat a healthful diet. Eat frequent, regular, small meals, especially breakfast. Skipping meals slows metabolism. After a fast of eight or more hours during the night, your body needs the first meal of the day to stabilize blood sugar and energize itself.
Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water a day. If you feel like munching, try a glass of water instead. Sometimes we get our thirst and hunger signals confused. It helps everyone to keep drinking water handy, particularly in warmer months when you're on the go. It can be tempting to have a snack or a meal when you're really just thirsty.
Most women find that they need to exercise to keep their weight under control. We live in a sedentary society yet our bodies were made to do physical work each day. Walking is fine, free, and fairly easy to do with your baby in a sling or stroller. Start out slowly, building up to a faster pace and longer distance. Choose an activity you like and work toward doing it for 30-45 minutes each time. The more you work exercise into your daily routine, the more likely you are to continue with it.
Remember that exercise does more than help burn fat. It also increases your energy level and boosts your sense of well-being while reducing stress, and symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Exercise also compensates for the metabolic drop that usually comes with weight loss. People who exercise along with any type of diet see faster, longer-lasting results. See the sidebar on page 158 for more tips about exercise.
No Shortcuts Available
Despite studies showing that breastfeeding mothers tend to lose more weight over the course of the first postpartum year, some women put a high priority on getting back to their size and shape from before pregnancy. They may choose to wean or never nurse at all so that they can use crash diets to lose weight quickly. However, weaning is not necessary if a mother follows a well-balanced, sensible weight loss plan.
Many new mothers turn to commercial diet centers, and in response, some of those companies now provide weight loss programs designed for nursing mothers. These may or may not reflect the nutritional needs of a nursing mother. However, research by James Hill, a nutritionist at the University of Colorado in Denver, shows that as many as 90 percent of clients never complete the commercial programs, and of those who do, many regain all or part of the weight. No diet program offers an easy answer, so a mother who is thinking about weaning in order to try a quick weight loss diet should think again. She will be sacrificing many health benefits for herself and her baby with little reason to believe that she will lose all the weight she wants to lose and keep it off for the long term.
Other Gains
Remember you've gained more than pounds by having a child. You've acquired memories of your baby's precious infancy, when all he wanted was your voice, your body, and your smile. You've grown strong from caring for your baby when he was ill. You've gained wisdom from learning to lovingly guide your clever explorer. You've discovered that even though your body may not meet pre-determined standards of beauty, it can nurture a baby in the best way possible. You've earned the body of a mother. Celebrate that body and appreciate the emotional and physical strengths you've gained. Compared to all that, a few extra pounds are insignificant.
To Get More Exercise Gradually
- Park your car farther out in parking lots.
- Use only the upstairs or farthest bathroom.
- Walk around the block before you sit down for lunch or a TV show.
- Walk in place while talking on the telephone.
- Play with your children outside.
- Stand whenever you can; standing burns twice the calories of sitting.
- Encourage yourself to go for a walk by telling yourself that you have to walk only one or two blocks. Chances are you will start feeling so good while you're walking that you'll want to keep going.
- Start a buddy system and walk, bike, or exercise with a friend.
- Ease into your workouts to minimize injury or soreness. Remember to warm up, cool down, and stretch.
- Smile as you work out even if you don't feel like it and even if no one is looking.
- As you cool down, make a mental note of how good and proud you feel now that you are finished. Remember that feeling when you need motivation to start another session.
- Consider exercise time to be at least as important as any other health or grooming task. Doing your workout is just as important as any chores around the house. Take the phone off the hook or turn down the volume of the answering machine to reduce distractions. If you have older children, set them up with a snack, water, and special activities to do while you work out.

Located just 10 miles northeast of the Quad Cities, Port Byron gives residents an opportunity to live in a relaxing community away from the busy lifestyle of the Quad Cities metropolitan area. With a population of 1,700 and growing, many people are realizing that Port Byron is home.
History The first European settlers came to this location in 1828. The area belonged to the Potawatomi people at the time, and during the Black Hawk War of 1832, the settlers relocated to Fort Armstrong on Rock Island, about 12 miles downstream. After the war, the settlers returned. The Syms brothers developed a wood yard that sold firewood to the steamboats hauling lead from Galena to St. Louis. The town was platted in 1836. The name was meant to honor Lord Byron, the English poet. A number of businesses developed here, notably the production of quicklime for construction. This was produced from the local limestone. The work attracted a number of Swedish immigrants. The village was incorporated in 1877, and Port Byron real estate has been coveted ever since.
Port Byron Community Port Byron is located in Rock Island Country, only a few minutes away from the Quad cities. Being along the east bank of the Mississippi River it gives the town an opportunity to enjoy all the joys of living waterfront and allows quick access to the quaint town of LeClaire for antique shopping. Most recently Metrolink bus service added Port Byron to their route giving its residents access to all of the other stops the Metrolink visits.
Attractions and Entertainment If there is one event Port Byron is known for it is Tug Fest, which is a tug of war competition between Port Byron, IL and LeClaire, IA. . The event includes a grand fireworks display, a parade, a 5K run, a rib cook-off, a kids' tug, and the main event. Traffic on the Mississippi River is shut down for this event. A rope is run across the river with one end in Port Byron and the other end in LeClaire. There are about a dozen tug events over a two-hour period. This has been an annual event since about 1987. As the Quad Cities are only 12 miles southwest of Port Byron, attractions and entertainment opportunities for the Quad Cities communities are readily accessible to Port Byron residents.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale women's squash team will host the undefeated Trinity Bantams Wednesday night at 6 p.m. at the Brady Squash Center.
The Bulldogs (7-1, 2-1 Ivy) are coming off of a very successful Yale Round Robin that included five wins in five matches over three days. The Bulldogs' most notable performances came in dominant victories over No. 5 Cornell and No. 6 Stanford.
Trinity (7-0) has also played very well so far this season. The Bantams' most impressive victories have also come against Cornell and Stanford, though Trinity has yet to face an opponent ranked as high as Yale. In the Bulldogs' one match this year against a favored opponent, No. 3 Penn handed Yale its only loss of the season, 8-1.
Trinity has built a perennially strong women's squash program over the past decade-plus, though the women's program has not been as dominant as the men's. Trinity won the Howe Cup - the women's national championship - in 2002 and 2003 before Yale unseated the Bantams in the 2004 Howe Cup final to capture the Bulldogs' first of three consecutive national championships. Current Trinity sophomore Nour Baghat is the defending women's individual national champion, and both she and senior Nayelly Hernandez joined current Bulldog junior Logan Greer as 2008-2009 CSA First Team All-Americans.
The match should provide a challenge for the Bulldogs, and a win on Wednesday night would indicate that Yale could challenge for another Howe Cup later this winter.

Public aids crackdown on gas plant in Chartiers
Residents have complained for years about thick black smoke and possible pollution coming from the MarkWest gas plant in Chartiers. But the state Department of Environmental Protection said it couldn't take action because it had no evidence.
On Tuesday, the department said it had the goods.
Someone snapped pictures of a plume of black smoke coming from the plant on July 14 and 15 and sent them to regulators.
The DEP said Tuesday that the deluge of photos sent directly to its workers last month will likely lead to the first state environmental fine against the plant, owned by MarkWest Energy Partners LP. The pictures provided the evidence the agency needed that the plant was violating state environmental regulations, DEP spokesman John Poister said.
"We can't be everywhere, so we appreciate the help we can get when something like this is going on," Poister said. "The air quality people … responded to complaints, and when we got documentation to back up those complaints, we acted on it."
Air pollution can be hard to prove when inspectors don't get to see it. The closest inspectors are stationed a 45-minute drive from the plant, which is in the heart of the region's gas drilling, Poister said. That means documents from citizens can play a key role in helping to prove environmental violations, he added.
A MarkWest spokesman, reached by text, said he was not aware of DEP's recent interaction with the company on the plant.
The DEP is the latest enforcement agency to benefit from the proliferation of smartphones and digital cameras. The devices have helped citizens around the world document crime and pursue justice, including photos that famously helped lead to the capture of the Boston Marathon bombers, videos that helped convict a California transit policeman who shot a man, and video that chronicled the Tasing of a student protester at the University of Florida.
Citizens have to be careful how they use it, said Joe Osborne, legal director at Group Against Smog and Pollution in Garfield. Sending mass documentation of unjustified complaints can overwhelm regulatory agencies that are already dealing with budget cuts and heavy workloads, he said.
But air pollution that comes from a flare can basically only be proved by trained inspectors witnessing the events, he added. In those situations, visual documentation from citizens can help a small staff of regulators be more impactful.
"This is always a problem. Even if staffing was better or funding was better, there's a finite number of inspectors covering a wide geographic area," Osborne said. "If we can target the right kinds of environmental problems and the best way that people can use technology to address those problems, I think that's something that we could look into."
This case was particularly clear-cut, Poister said. The plant — which processes ethane, propane and butane out of the natural gas extracted from the Marcellus shale — is not supposed to emit any black smoke, a sign of air pollution. So when inspectors saw photos with black smoke, which witnesses claimed they could see from miles away, the state had the evidence it needed to assess violations against MarkWest, Poister said.
The company had 15 days to submit an action plan for stopping the incidents. It did, but the state wants the company to speed up the fixes it proposed in that plan, Poister said. The plan is not public because of the ongoing negotiations, Poister said, adding that he didn't know when they might reach an agreement.
He declined to say who sent the photos to the agency.
Residents and activists have been circulating photographs through email, claiming they show similar pollution from the plant dating back to at least 2009. The company has denied past pollution problems, saying previous incidents were part of safety measures designed to expel gas from the plant when necessary. The flare burns it off so most of the harmful chemicals get burned off on their way out.
Several residents interviewed by the Tribune-Review on Tuesday said they had not sent their photos to the agency after an incident in July when the company had problems installing a new piece of equipment. Some said the agency had ignored previous requests and, while they cheered recent developments, said the agency should have acted sooner.
"Why does it take so long to get someone's attention with this?" said Mark Bastien, who lives less than two miles from the plant and can see emissions from his backyard. "We're just so frustrated anymore because this has been going on for four or five years. We don't know what we're breathing out there."

Green summer sauce
Ok, this is a lousy name, but trust me - the original "arugula-capers sauce" wasn't very descriptive either. Anyway. Make the sauce, it's great! I based it off a recipe in the Swedish food mag "Allt om Mat" but decided to eyeball a few things, use a little less of some, and add some other ingredients to make it my own. We ate it with baked cod, and a medley of roasted potatoes, beets and carrots. The remaining sauce - this recipe makes a lot - was awesome to dress a salad with roasted new potatoes the next day.
Green summer sauce
2 garlic cloves
200 ml creme fraiche
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp greek yogurt
4 anchovy fillets (those tiny ones, sardeller in Swedish. NOT Swedish ansjovis!)
zest of one lemon
juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp capers
big bunch of basil
40 g arugula
1/2 tbsp runny honey
1/2 tsp black pepper
This is just a matter of adding all the ingredients to your food processor, and mixing into a smooth sauce. Taste, and season as you see fit.
Roasted potatoes, tossed in the leftover sauce, with finely sliced red onions.
