Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
I will be demonstrating easy Italian recipes on Saturday, March 29th at 10:40 AM, and Desserts on Sunday, March 30th at 12:15 PM, in the Blue Room. Directly after my demos (11:30am – 12:00pm on Saturday, and 1:10pm – 1:40pm on Sunday), I will be signing books at the VegFest Bookstore, which is a good time to chat with me. Hope to meet you there!
I'll be back home on Monday!
Before I head off to pack, though, I'd like to quickly mention some new VEGAN "Better Than Bouillon" broth bases, or pastes, from Superior Touch. At least, they were new to me! I bought the "No Beef Vegan base" and the "No Chicken Vegan base" at my local natural foods market, Edible Island, in Courtenay, BC. (Unfortunately, their "Mushroom Base" contains dairy products!) They have a "Vegetable base", too, and it comes in an organic variety.
I did the "taste test"-- made a cup of each kind (it only takes a teaspoon of the base in a cup of boiling water) and DH and I each drank half of each kind. Delicious! I especially like the "No Chicken"--rich and satisfying (and lower in sodium than most). I will definitely be using this whenever a powdered broth is not necessary!
Enjoy the weekend, wherever you are!

I, too, think this is the best broth out there, but I stopped using it because of all the chemicals they have in it. Is the organic variety any better? (I have to make a special trip to a different store to pick some up so don't follow its incarnations.)

Actually, Chelsea, I don't see any chemicals. The "No-chicken" one contains: vegetables (carrots, onion, celery), salt, hydrolyzed soy protein, maltodextrin; sugar, canola oil, natural flavors, autolyzed yeast extract, corn syrup solids, turmeric [a spice].
Maltodextrin is produced from any starch and is used as an emulsifier. The starch is cooked, and then acid and/or enzymes are used to break the starch into smaller polymers (a process similar to that used by the body to digest carbohydrate).
Hydrolyzed soy protein: The soy protein is broken down into amino acids in a chemical process called hydrolysis.
Autolyzed yeast or autolyzed yeast extract consists of concentrations of yeast cells that are allowed to die and break up, so that the yeasts' digestive enzymes break their proteins down into simpler compounds.
Yeast autolysates are used in yeast extracts such as Marmite.
It is NOT the case that these ingredients are the same things as MSG. Please read about this at length on my website here;

PS: Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction or process in which a chemical compound is broken down by reaction with water.

Hi again!
Just wanted to pass on this information ...
Boston Magazine recently published an article all about us this month - here is the link:
Oh Soy Tasty!
If you have a few minutes to spare, could do us a huge favor and read the article and comment at the bottom of the page? We're very excited about getting such great press, especially from a magazine of this caliber. If everyone drops by and leaves a quick comment, soon there will be no doubt in any publisher's mind: YES, readers absolutely do want to know about vegan happenings and developments.

Forty crew members were set up inside of Banco Popular building in downtown Los Angeles. Some angled the lights and cameras toward a staircase, preparing to film a character running out of the building after an altercation.
High walls of marble cast shadows inside the building as the crew began shooting a pilot episode of "D-Tec," a TV crime drama set in the future.
Producer Richard King hopes the series will get sold to a network or an online distributor.
Student film production: In the June 12 Business section, an article about the rise in student film production in L.A. said that director Francis Ford Coppola was an alumnus of USC. Coppola is a graduate of UCLA.
But for now, "D-Tec" will serve as his final class project for the American Film Institute, where he is a student. King has worked on about 20 projects in his three years at AFI, which has given him invaluable experience, he said.
"Working in L.A. has provided me with the knowledge of how to do things the right way, doing things by the book," King said during a break from filming Tuesday morning.
Student film crews are an increasingly common sight on the streets of Los Angeles. Last year, student films accounted for 4,227 production days, up nearly 30% from 2011, according to FilmL.A. Inc., a nonprofit group that handles permits for the city and the county.
In fact, in 2012 there was more student filming in L.A. than filming for TV dramas. Student films generated about 9% of total location filming in the L.A. region, an increase of about 2 percentage points from 2011, according to FilmL.A.
This year the number of student projects will probably be on par with 2012, said Philip Sokoloski, spokesman for FilmL.A.
"Looking at historical trends, we have reason to think student film production will continue to increase, provided local film schools maintain or increase their enrollment," he said.
Los Angeles has four major film schools: USC, UCLA, the American Film Institute and the Los Angeles campus of the New York Film Academy. They all require students to work on their own productions for credit, with the New York Film Academy pulling most of the permits, Sokoloski said.
FilmL.A. offers discounted prices for student film permits, making it easier for students wanting to shoot in the city.
USC's School of Cinematic Arts has a professor dedicated to helping students with the process of getting a permit and finding good locations to shoot.
USC students produce about 1,500 films a year, said Joe Wallenstein, director of physical production at USC, whose alumni include directors George Lucas.
Popular filming destinations for students include beaches such as Paradise Cove, Griffith Park and the Mojave Desert.
Wallenstein tries to emphasize to his students that they should look at filming locations in a creative way.
"You don't have to go to the desert to make it look like the desert," he reminds them.
Sometimes Wallenstein has to discourage students from venturing into L.A.'s less savory neighborhoods.
"Students are very focused on the end image," he said. "They want to go into the worst neighborhoods at night."
Susana Casares, a recent graduate from UCLA's film school, decided to use the city for her thesis project, a short film titled "Tryouts." The film focuses on a Muslim American teenager trying to make it on the cheerleading team. In order to audition, she must remove her head scarf, which creates internal conflict for the teen.
Casares shot the movie this year at Joseph Le Conte Middle School in Hollywood. "Tryouts" received the first-place drama award at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences College TV Awards in April and will screen at the Palm Springs International ShortFest, which runs June 18 to 24.
Casares, originally from Barcelona, found locations to her liking. L.A. "is so diverse and different," she said. "It's such a rich location. It has everything."
AFI requires its students to shoot in the city. King said the Banco Popular building, with its marble walls, blue-patterned tile and chandelier, was the ideal location for his TV show about two detectives.
"We were looking for something reminiscent of the '30s and '40s," King said. "It has built-in character to it. It just looks old."
[For the record: An earlier version of this post incorrectly said that director Francis Ford Coppola was an alumnus of USC. He is a graduate of UCLA.]

Three former Bisons baseball players, Buddy Harston, Phil Stinson and Jeff Guy, were inducted at a luncheon Saturday afternoon in Allen Arena.
Harston was introduced by former Bisons baseball assistant coach Roy Pardue. Stinson was introduced by Galen Foster. Guy was introduced by former McGavock and Lipscomb baseball coach Mel Brown.
Philip Hutcheson, Lipscomb's Director of Athletics, served as the host for the event. Lipscomb baseball coach Jeff Forehand provided an update on the season. Most of his players attended the event.
Blake Bratcher, a key member of the 2008 team that earned the school's first NCAA baseball berth, spoke briefly about what it meant for him to play at Lipscomb. He had made stops at a couple of schools before Lipscomb.
"Lipscomb is home for me," said Bratcher. "It is a place where I feel comfortable. It is a place where I can hang my hat. "
He credited Forehand with bringing him and several other transfer players to the team over the last couple of seasons. Bratcher had earlier turned down a scholarship offer from Forehand when he was the coach at Trevecca Nazarene University.
"Not only does coach Forehand teach you how to play baseball, but he learns from his players as well," said Bratcher. "This is a program where a lot of great things are going on behind the scenes. The lesson I learned was how a humble attitude can affect outcomes. When life throws a curve ball at you then you have to make the best of the situation."
The three recipients made the best of their situations, though it wasn't always easy.
Harston, who now serves as the men's and women's golf coach at Lipscomb, was a standout baseball player that coach Ken Dugan thought enough of to make him and assistant coach when his playing days as a second baseman were over.
Harston, who played from 1971-74, was part of three NAIA national tournament teams for the Bisons. He was considered one of Lipscomb's most consistent players with a .310 career batting average, 125 runs batted in and a .952 fielding percentage. In 1972 he was named to the All-Tournament Team at the NAIA World Series and also won the Gold Glove Award.
From 1975-77 Harston was an assistant coach under Dugan. He was part of the team that won the 1977 NAIA World Series.
Pardue, who recruited Harston, remembers that he and coach Dugan were scared they might say something that would persuade him to go to another school. He remembers vividly the summer night at Shelby Park when Harston told him he wanted to play for the Bisons.
"Buddy was a blue chip baseball player, " said Pardue. "He is a leader both on and off of the field. He was a player that his teammates could go up and talk with."
Harston thanked a number of people, especially his wife, Julie, and also wished that coach Dugan was still alive.
"He built an incredible baseball program built on the best of fundamentals and Christian values," said Harston.
Foster remembered Stinson during his high school days at Hillwood when he started at quarterback, shortstop and point guard.
"Those are the places where you put your best athletes," said Foster. "Phil came to Lipscomb and really made a difference."
Stinson, part of a family baseball legacy at Lipscomb, talked about the influence of coach Dugan on his life.
"Coach Dugan was one of those teachers that you will always remember," said Stinson. "Coach Dugan was tough, but he got everything out of you. It wasn't until years later that I realized the reasons for all of the things he did."
He talked of coach Dugan never giving up on him, even during a slump his sophomore year.
Stinson was part of NAIA World Series teams in 1974 and 1977. His last play as a college play was the final out that sealed the NAIA National Championship in 1977.
Stinson batted close to .300 for his career. He drove in 132 runs and scored 180. From 1974-77 he made 491 assists.
His best season was 1976 when he batted .384 with 48 RBI, 12 doubles and 60 runs. He was a First Team NAIA All-American.
Guy had been a star second baseman at McGavock High School, but coach Dugan quickly moved him to first base.
"Coach Brown was my mentor," said Guy. "He taught us how to be human beings, not just baseball players."
Guy was all set to play in the Southeastern Conference to play for the University of Mississippi. But when coach Jake Gibbs came to Memphis to watch him play Guy injured himself during warm-ups and didn't play.
It wasn't all that easy to convince coach Dugan to sign him either.
"Coach Dugan saw me play five times and I never got a hit in those games," said Guy. "He kept on asking coach Brown if I could hit. Coach Brown told him he should sign me."
Guy stressed that playing for Lipscomb was the best thing that could have happened to him.
"Coach Dugan taught me how to coach and play championship baseball," Guy said.
Guy had a .364 career batting average. From 1978-81 he drove in 212 runs and scored 202. He had 48 doubles, 16 triples and 28 home runs. During his career he played in four NAIA World Series and was a part of the 1979 National Championship Team.

Fibrelite to close Pawcatuck plant
Stonington — Composite manhole-cover maker Fibrelite Corp. will be vacating its nearly 30,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Pawcatuck and packing up for North Carolina next year, taking more than two dozen jobs out of state.
The Fibrelite plant will be shut down by March 1, 2014.
The move follows Fibrelite's acquisition in October by OPW, a fluid-handling company based in Cincinnati. The Pawcatuck operation will be consolidated into a 200,000-square-foot Smithfield, N.C., manufacturing facility operated by OPW, said Fibrelite North America President Jim Goodman.
"We will be closing Pawcatuck," Goodman said.
But Ann Miller, OPW's vice president for human resources, said in a conference call with Goodman that all of Fibrelite's estimated 25 to 30 current employees have been offered jobs at the North Carolina plant. The company employed as many as 42 last summer during a seasonal influx of work.
Miller said employees were given 30 days to decide whether to accept a relocation package.
"More than a handful appear to be interested," Goodman said.
Anyone who decides to remain in the region will receive a transition package based on length of service, he added. Miller said the company is hoping that some personnel who don't wish to make the move will spend a few months in North Carolina helping to transition the company and train their replacements.
Several employees have been with the British-based company since it opened its American headquarters in Pawcatuck eight years ago, thanks in part to a $300,000 loan from the SouthEastern Connecticut Enterprise Region that Fibrelite has since paid off.
"We're sorry to hear they're going," said C. Stephen MacKenzie, SeCTer's executive director. "It was a nice operation."
Deborah Donovan, economic development director of SeCTer, said the timing of Fibrelite's announced departure was especially disappointing because the agency had been in discussions with a startup high-tech business that had been interested in developing synergies with the composites manufacturer.
Fibrelite did $22.5 million in business worldwide last year, a portion of which came from the Pawcatuck operations, which manufactures round manhole covers and containment systems principally for convenience stores and gasoline stations. The company is the world's largest manufacturer of composite manhole covers, producing 6,000 a year out of the Pawcatuck plant alone.
David Crouse, president of OPW, said in a statement that bringing Fibrelite to North Carolina would improve efficiencies. OPW is a unit of Dover Corp.
"We will now be able to consolidate shipments of a broader range of OPW and Fibrelite products into single shipments to the benefit of our customers and distributors," Crouse said.
Goodman, who will remain with OPW as a sales executive working out of his Stonington home, said the move also will help save on other costs, such as health and safety compliance, insurance and utilities.
He added that, in spite of Fibrelite's planned move out of a leased building on Mechanic Street (formerly home to Harris Press), it will retain at least some of its local connections, because OPW is a major customer for extrusion machines manufactured by Pawcatuck-based Davis-Standard.
"We will remain tied to Pawcatuck," Goodman said.

Four Wabash Men Joing TFA Classroomsby Jim Amidon • November 10, 2010 Share:
When Jeremy Robinson shunned promising job and graduate school offers and signed on with the Teach for America program in 2004, he charted a path that—six years later—more than a dozen Little Giants have taken.
The Teach for America program recruits a few thousand high-achieving college graduates each year and places them in the nation's poorest-performing urban and rural public schools. Robinson '04 spent a year at Chicago's Harper High School before becoming a Rhodes Scholar. Now, having earned his master's degree from Oxford, he's back in Chicago and teaching in a public school.
The program strives "to eliminate educational inequity by enlisting our nation's most promising future leaders in the effort." Although TFA reports significant educational gains by students taught by corps members, the ultimate goal is to populate the country with young leaders who have learned in the trenches and who then parlay those experiences into reform and action.
This year, four Wabash seniors were selected to be corps members—Gary James, Patrick McAlister, Brandon McKinney, and Spencer Elliott. James, McAlister, and Elliott all came to Wabash intending to go to law school, then on to politics or public service. McKinney made it three physics courses into the 3:2 engineering dual degree program before he shifted his focus.
In fact, very few TFA corps members enter college planning to teach in public schools.
James, a rhetoric major who won the O'Rourke Prize in Rhetoric and was twice named the Jim Leas Outstanding Student in Journalism, sees his immersion in a special education program in Washington, DC as the first step in his career in public service.
"I was the traditional political science major who planned to go to law school, run for office, and change the world," James says with a grin. "Teaching wasn't on my radar, but community service was. I thought politics would be the way to serve others."
His time at Wabash, his experience organizing for the Obama presidential campaign in Crawfordsville, and a National Public Radio "Morning Edition" internship changed his thinking entirely.
"I now believe that politics doesn't change things," he says. "People and groups of people make change."
James switched his major to rhetoric and began to study human communication. He turned down possibilities for grad school and a return to NPR to join Teach for America.
"I joined TFA because it's a group of people who are all on the same page, both in terms of solving problems and the belief that a group of educated, informed people can solve problems."
James was inspired by Wabash rhetoric and political science professors.
"I'm amazed by how much they trust us," he says. "Through the question and answer Socratic method here, they make known to us what we don't know. They nurture in us the desire to learn more.
"My goal with Teach for America will be to create more curious students. Our philosophy here at Wabash is to instill a desire to know. That's what I want to instill in my students, something that will stay with them all their lives."
Brandon McKinney's plans to become an engineer — and physics grades — faded early in his time at Wabash. He opted to take a year off from the College, and returned to his hometown, San Antonio, where he worked in a public school preparing low-income kids for the rigors of college.
"In that year I was away from Wabash, I was able to see the impact I was having on those kids," he says. "I saw that I was changing lives."
Joining the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies' KQ&K mentoring program when he returned to Wabash had a powerful impact on him.
"You develop a different kind of relationship with those kids; it's more like a friendship, and those friendships have helped inspire me to become a teacher."
J.J. Guthrie '05, a former Teach for America corps member, talked to McKinney about the program, and he realized that the goals of TFA matched his own.
McKinney will be placed at an elementary school in San Antonio—a school with significant problems. But the rhetoric major isn't too nervous.
"I never get nervous," he says confidently. "I'm very excited about this opportunity. I don't know what's going to come or how it will work out. But more than anything, I'm looking forward to the experience."
Like all corps members, McKinney will study for five weeks at TFA's Summer Training Institute, where he will learn how to prepare for and manage a class, develop lesson plans, and establish a teaching style.
Managing a classroom shouldn't be much of a problem for Patrick McAlister, who after editing The Bachelor at Wabash as a junior, graduated in seven semesters and began working on a political campaign while his fellow seniors finished up last spring.
You would expect the political science major to be tapped to teach government, but TFA has assigned him to a science class in Charlotte, North Carolina. Now he's grateful that Wabash has lab science requirements.
"In the second semester of my junior year, I began Chemistry 101 and I was lucky," McAlister says. "Professor [Scott] Feller team-taught that course. He showed us the most basic parts of his world with the same sense of excitement and awe that one would expect Fleming felt when he accidentally discovered penicillin. He approached basic chemistry with the heightened exuberance he wanted his students to have.
"I hope I can push students to see the physical world the way Dr. Feller does."
McAlister has no plans to continue teaching after his two-year stint in the corps. He hopes the experience will help him become a more effective advocate and public policy maker for education.
"I want developing quality education policy to be part of my career," says McAlister, who spent summers interning in political offices. "Often those who construct education policy are criticized for not understanding what it's like 'in the trenches;' they may have read academic studies, but they may never know the day-to-day struggles of a teacher. I hope that my Teach for America experience provides me with the groundwork to be an effective advocate for students."
If you had to guess Spencer Elliott's major at Wabash, you'd surely bet that it was theater. Elliott appeared in 11 Wabash theater productions, including the leading role in The Elephant Man in his first semester on campus.
Yet the talented Dean's List student pursued political science as his major and studied in Israel with Professor Phil Mikesell '63 in an Immersion Learning course.
His time on the Wabash stage, though, ignited a passion in him, fueled by his mentor, Associate Professor of Theater Michael Abbott '85.
"Professor Abbott has been my inspiration to pursue theater as more than a hobby or side project," says Elliott. "Being around him taught me that to make good theater, you have to make it a priority in your life; it's a full-time pursuit."
He was accepted into graduate programs in acting, but a conversation with a regional representative for Teach for America provided a powerful turning point.
"I was struck by her passion for the program," Elliott says of Lauren Secetore, who recruited him for TFA. "I also realized that to be a successful actor, I need more real life experiences. So I decided to take some time off from theater, and I will re-apply to graduate programs after I've completed the [TFA] program."
Elliott, who will spend the next two years in a special needs high school classroom in Washington, had motivated and committed teachers at Fort Wayne's South Side High School, one of the most diverse schools in the nation. "In my eyes, it was a poor school in an ethnically diverse neighborhood charged with racial tensions, yet it worked because of committed teachers and administrators.
"I want to take what I learned there and at Wabash, and model that commitment to good teaching for my students in Washington."
James, McKinney, McAlister, and Elliott join a growing group of Wabash graduates who are putting off their career plans to spend some time in the trenches so that they might shape and develop a more equitable educational system for the nation's youth. And along the way, they—by example—extend what they've learned in the Wabash classroom to ignite intellectual curiosity in the young people they serve.

Scott van der Horst necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 67 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
We need to combine our 'grapes' balloon image with our domain which is now our 'dba' and create an overall design that will work with multiple applications.
Since 1979 the registered California Trademark 'grapes balloon' has long been considered the mascot for Northern California's Wine Growing Region. I've provided an old sticker image showing our previous balloon image along with a scan of our recent embroidered product to draw from. There is also a photo of the actual balloon I'd like to utilize. Here's the links to download these images:
At a glance, tell the story. What we do, where we do it and how to find us. Make it work both in a relatively compact or expanded setting. If there is a way to create a 3-D effect - that would be a plus. Having the image & domain combined with our phone number: Just Dial (707) 'LETS-FLY' would also be a winner.
I've provided some logo images from my local competition at http://www.balloonrides.com that has some nice attributes. I think we can do better...
I don't want to make it look cartoon-like or childish. Think contemporary.

Intel 486DX2 Microprocessor
As the quest for the computation crown continued into Intel's fourth generation of microprocessors, the 486 family grew with the use of internal clock doublers and triplers, creating the then-"speed demon" DX2s and DX4s. In March 1992, the 486DX2 was released with an external clock (bus) speed of just 25 MHz, but with a "lightning fast" internal clock speed of 50 MHz.
View a second image of the Intel 486DX2.
View a third image of the Intel 486DX2.
Capable of executing 41 million instructions per second (MIPS) by using 1.2 million transistors, the Intel 486DX2 was fabricated with 0.8-micron silicon technology on an 81-square millimeter wafer. The DX2 chip featured 8 Kbytes of cache memory, support of 4 Gbytes of addressable memory, and an integral 80-bit floating-point unit (FPU). The 32-bit (internal register and external bus widths) central processing unit (CPU) was followed up in August 1992 with the faster 66 MHz (internal clock speed) 486DX2. This newer model operated on 5 volts and had a peak power dissipation of 7.0 watts, but more typically ran at a cooler 4.9 watts.
Like its slower, older pin-compatible 486DX and SX family members, the DX2s were complete instruction set computing (CISC) specific processors. Intel created the new and upgrade processor markets for new and existing personal computer users by applying their innovative clock doubling technology and their newly refined silicon chip manufacturing techniques. Manufacturers embraced these marketing and packaging moves, because it allowed them to sell newer and faster motherboards and personal computers without the expense of complete hardware redesigns. This was the kind of economic edge the company was seeking against 486 clones and other microprocessor makers during the wide-open home and business computer era of the early 1990s. The downside of the engineering design for the 80486DX2 microprocessor was that external operations still occurred at the lower clock speed, and memory accesses, and transfers to and from input/output devices were much slower than internal chip operations, creating computing bottlenecks. Despite these problems, the 486DX2 was widely successful in its day.

Water, or lack of it, tops the list of concerns voiced by Southwest grain farmers at the recent Commodity Classic in San Antonio.
"Long-term, we will have to regulate water use," said Steve Albracht, Hart, Texas, grain and cotton farmer and the 2013 National Corn Growers Association yield contest winner for irrigated production. His 418.34 bushel per acre yield earned him top honors and from an area that continues to suffer from a drought that's into a fourth year.
Partnerships help manage water resources.
Average rainfall for his area, up in the Texas Panhandle, is 16 or 17 inches. He's had nowhere near that much in the last three seasons—11.3 inches last year, 5.6 inches in 2012 and only 2.6 inches in 2011, the worst year he's ever seen.
For more information onw aer and other issues, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
"If I knew going into planting season that I would get only 2.6 inches of rain I wouldn't even plant," Albracht said. The long-term drought and increasing demand are reasons he believes conservation will be critical.
"If we don't (regulate) we will not have enough," Albracht said.
Martin Kerschen, a Garden Plains, Kansas, farmer and a board member for the Sorghum Checkoff , agrees that moisture stress will be an issue. "Water is our biggest challenge," he said. "That's one reason we're promoting sorghum as we look for ways to grow crops with less water."
He's grown sorghum for 25 years and also grows wheat.
He said as a board member he's trying to spread the word about the value of sorghum in a sound rotation program. "We also want to spend our checkoff money wisely," he said. Key goals for checkoff funds include research efforts to increase sorghum yields. "We also need varieties with stronger stalks. Stewardship is a big issue.
"We also need to maintain the renewable fuels standard and increase exports," he said.
Kerschen said his wheat crop looks okay for now. "It's not too bad. We have just the right amount of growth on it for this time of year."
Little winter rain
J.B. Stewart, new chairman of the board of directors for the National Sorghum Producers, said his farm near Keyes, Oklahoma, up in the Panhandle, "has been dry. Some wheat simply didn't come up," he said. "We had no real planting moisture and soils are dry to 8 inches down. We have some moisture below that." With those dry conditions, he thinks Oklahoma farmers may plant more grain sorghum this year to take advantage of a more drought tolerant plant.
He's also seen growers follow a successful rotation program with sorghum, canola and wheat. "Rotation helps clean up weeds in wheat," he said. He makes two crops every three years, and leaves wheat fields fallow after harvest. He plants sorghum in the fallowed wheat fields the following spring and then follows sorghum with wheat the next fall.
Albracht may increase grain sorghum acreage this year as well as he looks for ways to get by on less water. He hopes to increase grain sorghum yields and thinks he can push production to near 260 bushels per acre. "I can't just do what everyone else does," he said. "I'll look hard at fertility and maybe apply some fungicide. It's all about plant health, just like with corn."
Variety selection will be a factor as well. "Varieties are coming that will stand better," he said. He may tweak seeding rate a bit, too. "In the past I've tended to plant thick and I may need to back off a bit. We have to get and keep a good stand."
He's not resting on his laurels with his corn yield either. His annual goal is to average about 300 bushels per acre across the board. He's done that. But he thinks with more intense management he can push a little higher. "I think I can get another 20 bushels per acre," he said. "But Mother Nature has to cooperate.
"I'll do some testing, looking at the root system and look early and late at leaves. I still have things to change."
He's already adjusted the way he irrigates during severe drought conditions. He plants corn in circular rows. "I re-nozzle the irrigation system to put water on the outside of the plant rows."
He's also looked at drought tolerant corn hybrids. "I tried some on fields that are producing only 200 gallons of water," he said. "Yields are not up to what I get with my usual hybrids but this is a tool I have to look into to stretch water."
And he's convinced that will be necessary. "In 1993, some wells were producing 800 to 900 gallons. Today, some of those are producing 200 gallons and are dropping. We have to adjust."

Here we see a guy taking his go-kart on a busy street in Sydney. What's more ridiculous, that he's sharing the road with full-size cars, or that he's wanted by the police?
In their article "Police search for go-kart hoon," Nine News reports that a New South Wales police spokesman stated, "we need to remove that menace from the road." Network Ten News points out that he could face fines of $1,258 for being unregistered, $596 for being uninsured and $496 for being unlicensed. Dangerous driving could get the 'go-kart hoon' nine months in jail, as well.

Flood Water
The dangers of flood water should not be underestimated.
It's powerful and just 6 inches of fast flowing flood water can knock you off your feet.
But it's not just its power that can be hazardous but also the pollutants it contains.
Each year in the UK we produce around 75,000 tonnes of human feces and 6 billion gallons of urine, with these figures rapidly increasing year after year.
Waste water from our toilets along with rain water mix together in sewage pipes underground, which lead on to wastewater treatment plants for processing.
Extreme rainfall can flood these pipes forcing dirty water back up spilling raw untreated sewage into our homes, straight out into our streets or into our rivers.
If your property is flooded you can't just wait for it to dry out then move back in.
Any wood in the house, all furnishings and even plaster board on the wall will soak up the water, containing bacteria, so ultimately it all has to be removed and refitted.

To find out more about flooding in the UK watch 'The Year Britain Flooded' which aired on Tuesday 12th February at 9pm on Channel 4.

1 onion (chopped)
1/2 tsp Salt
a dash of black pepper
1-2 tsps Light soy sauce

~ Removed the bones from the sardines and smashed. Add 2-3 tbsps of the sauce and mix well.
~ Add in chopped onions and the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
~ Rolled the bread until really flat with a rolling pin. (this is to avoid too much oil into the bread during frying)

New Climate Report Emphasizes Urgency
Bangkok is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city, home to more than eight million people. However, a new report released by the World Bank [1] today paints a grim picture for the Thai capital. It notes that, without adaptation, a predicted 15cm sea-level rise by the 2030s coupled with extreme rainfall events could inundate 40% of the Thai capital and almost 70% of Bangkok by the 2080s [2]. While I certainly hope it doesn't happen, words cannot describe the impact this would have on the lives and livelihoods of people residing in this city. And Thailand isn't the only country that could be affected by rising temperatures.
The report - Turn Down the Heat: Climate Extremes, Regional Impacts, and the Case for Resilience [3] - was commissioned by the World Bank's Global Expert Team on Climate Change Adaptation and prepared by a team of scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research [4] and Climate Analytics [5]. It looks at the latest peer-reviewed science and with the aid of advanced computer simulations looks at the likely impacts of present day (0.8°C), 2°C, and 4°C warming across three regions – Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia [6], and South East Asia [7]. It focuses on the lives and livelihoods of people in the developing world by analyzing the risks to agriculture and food security in sub-Saharan Africa; the rise in sea-level, bleaching of coral reefs and their impact on coastal communities in South East Asia; and the impact of fluctuating rainfall patterns on food production in South Asia. The poor and the vulnerable are the ones that will be most affected by the impacts of climate change.
The report comes on the heels of sobering news from the International Energy Association (IEA) that global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rose 1.4% last year [8], and a recent report from the weather observatory in Hawaii that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere crossed the crucial 400 parts-per-million threshold [9], a level last seen over 800,000 years ago. Our report, combined with other scientific analysis, emphasizes the urgency to avoid the most dramatic consequences of climate change through collective action to keep warming around 2oC.
Since the launch of the first Turn Down the Heat report (in November 2012) [10], the demand from our client countries for innovative solutions to climate change has gone up.
We are working with 130 countries on this issue and have stepped up financing for mitigation and adaptation efforts, almost doubling our lending for adaptation [11] in FY2012. Our lending for renewable energy also hit a record high in 2012 [12], accounting for 44% of our energy portfolio. Through the Climate Investment Funds [13], we are providing $7.6 billion of funding to 48 countries for transformative climate investments that support low-emission and climate-resilient development. An our recent report, Mapping Carbon Initiatives [14], highlights action at the domestic level to put a price on carbon. It finds that over 40 national and 20 sub-national jurisdictions as varied as Kazakhstan, China, South Africa and Australia, have either implemented or are considering carbon pricing mechanisms.
Under the leadership of President Jim Yong Kim, we are working on a climate action plan equal to the scale of the problem and bold ideas that will make the biggest difference. We work with the premise that a 4oC world can and must be avoided. We believe that the release of the Turn Down the Heat reports will further spur action on climate change from our client countries as well as some of the major developed nations, who are among the top emitters. After all, our mission is a world free of poverty and climate change is a fundamental threat to the economic well-being of a nation.

Panasonic executive says Europe consumer sales hold up
Panasonic's consumer electronics sales did not fall in Europe in the fiscal year just ended despite the fact that the business is struggling globally, the company's Europe head said.business Updated: Apr 10, 2013 14:43 IST
Panasonic's consumer electronics sales did not fall in Europe in the fiscal year just ended despite the fact that the business is struggling globally, the company's Europe head said.
"We are doing quite well in Europe in consumer electronics," Laurent Abadie told Reuters, adding that the company was not planning to cut its overall number of staff in Europe in the coming 12 months.
"We just closed our fiscal year at the end of March. Our turnover in consumer is not declining in Europe, despite a very strong decline of the market," Abadie said in an interview in Vienna, where he was attending a conference.
Panasonic employs 12,000 people in Europe, where it makes about 10 percent of its sales.
Japan's Panasonic is restructuring to cut back in consumer electronics as it is being battered by competitors, in particular Korea's Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics.
President Kazuhiro Tsuga, who last year surprised investors by describing Panasonic as a "loser" in consumer electronics, told reporters last month that the company would expand its automotive and housing development businesses instead.
Abadie said: "Internally, that's a question that a lot of people are asking - why Europe? We are doing quite well, basically, compared to other regions."
He put the company's relative success on the continent down to consumers' still being willing to spend on high-end items despite the economic crisis - provided they were good value for money - high investments in marketing, and local design centers.
"We have a strong brand image, we have a strong partnership with the retail network, and today we are seen as a winning company and our share is growing," he said.
Figures from market research group GfK provided by Panasonic showed Samsung with 26 percent share in consumer electronics in Europe's top five markets in February, LG with 12 percent and Panasonic with 10.
Philips, Sony, Canon and Nikon lagged behind in single figures, according to the data.
Abadie said, however, that the share of consumer electronics in Panasonic's overall portfolio would shrink as the market remained hard-fought and the company increased production in other areas such as energy equipment and automotive components.
He said some plants might close in Europe but others would open, including a new automotive research and development plant in the German city of Munich that should employ about 300 people and open in the next year.
"There are in-out movements but I think overall there will not be a major change," Abadie said.

State Owes the Innocent Their Freedom
By MARTIN DYCKMAN, Times Columnist
Published March 6, 2005
TALLAHASSEE - Wilton Dedge, an innocent man Florida imprisoned for 22 years, was lucky in one respect. Had he been falsely convicted for robbery rather than rape, there would have been no DNA to set him free.
Florida politicians are fooling only themselves if they think that the current post-conviction DNA testing law does away with wrongful imprisonment in the Sunshine State.
The only circumstance more outrageous than the resistance to compensating Dedge is the Legislature's pervasive indifference to the moral certainty that there are hundreds of equally innocent people still rotting behind Florida bars.
Such things are impossible to estimate reliably, but one can guess. From death row alone, 24 people have gone free, most of them clearly exonerated. DNA vindicated another after he died in prison. There are more than 200 people serving lesser sentences for every one on death row.
The same kinds of blunders that ensnared Dedge figured frequently in those death row cases. For the minority of cases where DNA evidence exists, the law entitling prisoners to testing expires Oct. 1. That is only part of what's wrong with it. The vast majority of convicts, those who pleaded guilty or no contest, are excluded, even if they did it only to avoid harsher sentences. The state crime lab isn't equipped for some of the more sophisticated recently developed tests, which cost $2,500 privately. The Florida Innocence Initiative, a voluntary agency in Tallahassee, has only $30,000 in the bank to cope with nearly 300 accumulated requests from inmates. A similar project at Nova University has more than 300 cases waiting.
What happened to Dedge could happen to anyone. Even you.
If you have ever had a deja vu experience, the false certainty that you have seen someone or something before, that's how easy it is to be falsely accused and convicted. Police, prosecutors and jurors rely too heavily on eyewitnesses.
There is also a mental process called transference, in which witnesses identify a "suspect" they have seen in some other context. That's what happened to Dedge. The victim first told police she had been slashed and raped by a balding man who stood 6 feet tall and weighed 200 pounds. Dedge was 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighed 130 pounds and had a full head of hair. But she and her family had casually encountered Dedge and his family before, and on seeing him again at a convenience store she thought he resembled her assailant. She became more certain, and more wrong, as the case developed. Believing her, the Brevard Sheriff's Office and prosecutors relied on junk science and a flagrantly perjurious jailhouse snitch to put Dedge in prison and keep him there. The victim's mistakes were not malicious, but the authorities should have known better.
In an example reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education five years ago, a rape victim identified a prominent Australian psychologist and memory researcher as her attacker.
"Not only was his alibi airtight - he was being interviewed on live television at the time - but she had mistaken him for the rapist because she had seen his face on her television screen during the assault," the article said.
In another notorious Florida case, a woman who had been stabbed by a would-be rapist let police coax her into identifying a young man they considered a suspect. The assailant she had described wore dental braces. The innocent man they convicted didn't. The conviction was overturned and the state admitted its mistake, but by then it was too late to charge the actual perpetrator.
Florida sorely needs what North Carolina has: a blue-ribbon commission to identify the causes of wrongful convictions and recommend ways to avoid them. Darrell Stephens, the former St. Petersburg police chief who is now chief at Charlotte, is one of the members of the North Carolina Actual Innocence Commission. Among its first recommendations: "double blind" lineup procedures so that the police officer showing suspects or pictures to witnesses doesn't know who the suspect is.
Florida has its own model to follow, the gender bias commission that the Supreme Court established with legislative support 18 years ago. Janet Reno, who was sensitive to wrongful convictions as U.S. attorney general, would be a superb person to chair the Florida Actual Innocence Commission.
But such things don't happen unless someone in power cares enough to make them happen. Is there anyone who does?

Alberta-based renewable energy developer BluEarth Renewables Inc. has partnered with Batchewana First Nation (BFN) on the Bow Lake Wind Farm. According to BluEarth and Batchewana, this relationship represents the largest economic partnership between a First Nation and a wind energy developer in Canada.
Project discussions began in June 2007 with the original project developers and the Batchewana First Nation. BluEarth acquired the Bow Lake Wind Farm in 2011 and has continued to work closely with the Batchewana First Nation to negotiate this partnership.
As a result of the partnership, the project proponents will be Nodin Kitagan Limited Partnership (for Phase 1) and Nodin Kitagan 2 Limited Partnership (for Phase 2).
"This partnership demonstrates that opportunities exist for positive collaboration between industry and First Nation," says Batchewana Chief Dean Sayers. "Our project partners have demonstrated their commitment to BFN as a government. This mutual respect is the cornerstone of our relationship moving forward. Our First Nation is pleased with the validation of our sovereignty and our right to negotiate the use of our natural resources."
The Bow Lake Wind Project is located predominantly on Crown land, approximately 80 km northwest of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The project will have the capacity to generate up to 60 MW of clean electricity using a total of 36 1.6 MW wind turbines. Construction on the project is expected to begin this year. Phase 1 is scheduled to be operational by early 2014, and Phase 2 is expected to go online by mid-2014.
The electricity generated by the project will be sold to the Ontario Power Authority under 20-year contracts that were awarded under the province's feed-in-tariff program.

I was wanting know whether somebody can get ijeza for koran reading if they not Hafiz?
Salem. I was wanting know whether somebody can get ijeza for koran reading if they not Hafiz?
If you not allowed, why? wasalem
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
The ijaazah is a sound chain of recitation passed down from generation to generation from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him through the sahaba, to the taab'ieen, then down the generations until the present day. It was always passed down by recitation by memory from the very beginning of the Qur'anic revelation.
There are some that give out certificates for tilawah reading, meaning reading the Qur'an while looking and applying all the tajweed rules. This is a modern occurence, not one seen at the time of the Prophet peace and blessings of Allah upon him, or even the companions of the Prophet or the early generations after them. Some call it ijaazah, but most scholars of the Qur'an object to that since it misses out on an essential part of the Qur'an being passed down in authentic chains, that of it being done from the memory.
This is why the correct ijaazah of recitation of the Qur'an is done by recitation from memory.
Wa assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullah
