Modern Japanese Tattoo Pictures
Japanese dragons mean different things to different people, and tattoo culture in the modern United States seems to be morphing away from what dragons represented in traditional Japanese texts, like the Kojiki and Nihongi that were written all the way back in 7th and 8th century Japan and earlier.
You can tell whether a dragon is Japanese, Chinese or Korean by how many toes it has on its feet. Chinese dragons have five toes, whereas Korean ones have four toes and Japanese dragons have only three toes. In Chinese mythology dragons represent wisdom and power. There are nine kinds of Chinese dragons, and each has a domain or a characteristic assigned to it — there are celestial, spiritual, earth, underworld, horned, winged, coiling and yellow dragons, and the king.

The Pantone Color of The Year for 2014 is "Radiant Orchid."
Unlike 2013's color — the vibrant, in-your-face, slightly loud Emerald, Radiant Orchid is rather quiet, very elegant, sort of soft and pretty. It would look nice on a bedroom wall, as a silk dress or a cashmere sweater.
According to the folks at Pantone:
Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.
Not to mention more flattering to skin tones than green.

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
Interlibrary Loan service is designed to serve the research needs of Otterbein University faculty, staff and students. Alumni and community patrons may also use ILL if they become Friends of the Library. However, certain restrictions are placed on Friend usage. Friends are restricted to 15 requests per month, and are responsible for any fees we are assessed for acquiring an item. It generally takes 7-10 days, sometimes longer, from the date of your request to receive materials. Occasionally there are items that we are not able to borrow. Any requests for books available through OPAL or OhioLINK will be canceled.
We can send interlibrary loan articles directly to your email account. Additionally, the interlibrary loan department will provide distance education students with articles from print journals owned by Otterbein. These articles will also be delivered to your email account.
What you must do:
Before you submit your Interlibrary loan request, please check OPAL and OhioLINK
We will not process your request if the items are available through OPAL or OhioLINK.
If you can't find what you need in OPAL or OhioLINK, please choose one of the following options:
Please provide complete, accurate citations, without abbreviations. The source of your citation ("Cited in:" ) is used to verify the accuracy of the citation and to suggest possible sources for acquiring the item. If this is not included, we may have to contact you if we need further information. If your requests are not complete, they may be canceled. Please contact the Reference Department for help in completing citations or to check relevant databases.
If you have any other questions or concerns, contact the Interlibrary Loan office at 614.823.3072.
When materials arrive you will be notified by email. If your email address is not on record, we will call and leave a message. You can also look up your loan status by viewing your patron record.
Items that cannot be sent through email can be picked up at the Library Circulation Desk whenever the library is open. You must present a valid ID when picking up material.
Most book or article requests are free. Occasionally, however, we must use a supplier that charges an additional fee. In this case the library will pay the first 20 dollars for student requests or the first 12 dollars for faculty requests. You will be required to pay the difference. Faculty may charge their department for any additional amount. If you are going to be charged for a request, we will notify you about the amount before we obtain the item. As mentioned above, Friends are responsible for the full amount of any additional fee.
The length of time you may have the borrowed material and any restrictions on the use of this material are determined by the lending library. If you need more time, some librarys will extend (renew) your requests. Contact the Otterbein Interlibrary Loan Office to make a renewal. Keep in mind that a renewal should be submitted before the due date indicated on the book wrapper. It is important that books are returned on time to remain in good standing with the lending institution. You will be fined .50/day for all overdue ILL materials.

Third Annual McGlothlin Leadership Forum to be Held Oct. 8-10
The Mason School of Business at the College of William & Mary and William & Mary Law School announce the Third Annual McGlothlin Leadership Forum.
Named in honor of James McGlothlin, Chairman and CEO of The United Company, this year's edition of the Forum will be held on Oct. 8-10, 2013.
The Forum will feature a series of discussions between and among the McGlothlin Leadership Forum Fellows - pre-eminent leaders in their fields - and students and faculty of the business and law schools, culminating in a plenary session of open exchange, active debate, and analysis of the challenges of the global economy and the political, legal, and free enterprise systems that comprise it. The Forum Fellows are chosen annually and exemplify the pinnacle of leadership, vision, integrity and revolutionary thinking.
The McGlothlin Forum Fellows for 2013 include three distinguished leaders.
Sen. Evan Bayh is a partner at McGuireWoods LLP and practices law in Washington, D.C. He also is a senior advisor at Apollo Global Management. A former two-term governor of Indiana (1989-1997), he also served in the U.S. senate (1999-2011).
Glenn H. Hutchins is co-founder of Silver Lake, one of the world's largest firms investing in technology and technology-enabled businesses. He also served as a special advisor on economic and health-care policy to President Clinton. He is a director of the Federal Research Bank of New York and vice chairman of the Brookings Institution.
Linda A. Klein practices law in Atlanta, where she is a managing shareholder at Baker Donelson. In 1997 she became the first woman to serve as president of the Georgia Bar Association. She served as chair of the American Bar Association's House of Delegates during the 2011-12 term.
Conceived and designed by McGlothlin, a 1962 graduate of the College, a 1964 graduate of the Law School, and honored by the College in 2000 with a Doctor of Laws honorary degree, the Forum intends to prepare students to make a difference in the world by expanding their understanding of the vital roles of leadership and accountability in global political, legal, and economic systems.
"The Leadership Forum will bring William & Mary students in touch with the highest caliber leaders in business and law in our nation. This highly personal program is intended to inspire our students to the highest level of achievement possible," said McGlothlin.
On Oct. 9, Forum Fellows will meet with students of the business and law schools throughout the day and then convene a plenary session, which will be on the topic of leadership challenges in business, law and politics. The plenary session is open to the public and will be in the Brinkley Commons Room in Alan B. Miller Hall at 2 p.m. and will be available via live video stream from the forum website as well. To suggest an issue or question for the fellows to address during the session, please visit this website.

Bulimia is an illness in which a person has regular episodes of overeating (bingeing) and feels a loss of control. The person then uses different ways, such as vomiting or laxatives (purging), to prevent weight gain.
Many people with bulimia also have anorexia nervosa.
Causes of Bulimia
Many more women than men have bulimia. The disorder is most common in adolescent girls and young women. The person usually knows that her eating pattern is abnormal and may feel fear or guilt with the binge-purge episodes.
The exact cause of bulimia is unknown. Genetic, psychological, trauma, family, society, or cultural factors may play a role. Bulimia is likely due to more than one factor.
Bulimia Symptoms
With bulimia, eating binges may occur as often as several times a day for many months. The person often eats large amounts of high-calorie foods, usually in secret. During these episodes, the person feels a lack of control over the eating.
Binges lead to self-disgust, which causes purging to prevent weight gain. Purging may include:
- Forcing oneself to vomit
- Excessive exercise
- Using laxatives, enemas, or diuretics (water pills)
Purging often brings a sense of relief.
People with bulimia are often at a normal weight, but they may see themselves as being overweight. Because the person's weight is often normal, other people may not notice this eating disorder.
Symptoms that other people can see include:
- Compulsive exercise
- Suddenly eating large amounts of food or buying large amounts of food that disappear right away
- Regularly going to the bathroom right after meals
- Throwing away packages of laxatives, diet pills, emetics (drugs that cause vomiting), or diuretics
Tests and Exams
A dental exam may show cavities or gum infections (such as gingivitis). The enamel of the teeth may be worn away or pitted because of too much exposure to the acid in vomit.
A physical exam may also show:
- Broken blood vessels in the eyes (from the strain of vomiting)
- Dry mouth
- Pouch-like look to the cheeks
- Rashes and pimples
- Small cuts and calluses across the tops of the finger joints from forcing oneself to vomit
Blood tests may show an electrolyte imbalance (such as hypokalemia) or dehydration.
Treatment of Bulimia
People with bulimia rarely have to go to the hospital, unless they:
- Have anorexia
- Have major depression
- Need drugs to help them stop purging
Most often, a stepped approach is used for patients with bulimia. Treatment depends on how severe the bulimia is, and the person's response to treatments:
- Support groups may be helpful for mild bulimia without other health problems.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and nutritional therapy are the first treatments for bulimia that does not respond to support groups.
- Antidepressants known as selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often used for bulimia. A combination of CBT and SSRIs is very effective if CBT does not work alone.
Patients may drop out of programs if they have unrealistic hopes of being "cured" by therapy alone. Before a program begins, you should know that:
- You will probably need to try many different therapies to overcome this difficult disorder.
- It is common for bulimia to return (relapse), and this is no cause for despair.
- The process is painful, and you and your family will need to work hard.
Support Groups
Support groups like Overeaters Anonymous may help some people with bulimia. The American Anorexia/Bulimia Association is a source of information about this disorder.
Prognosis (Outlook)
Bulimia is a long-term illness. Many people will still have some symptoms, even with treatment.
People with fewer medical complications of bulimia and those willing and able to take part in therapy have a better chance of recovery.
Potential Complications
Bulimia can be dangerous. It may lead to serious medical complications over time. For example, vomiting over and over puts stomach acid in the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach). This can permanently damage this area.
Possible complications include:
- Constipation
- Dehydration
- Dental cavities
- Electrolyte imbalances
- Hemorrhoids
- Pancreatitis
- Swelling of the throat
- Tears of the esophagus from too much vomiting

Hair Electrolysis
Electrolysis is a way of removing individual hairs from the face or body. Today's medical electrolysis devices destroy the growth center of the hair with chemical or heat energy. A very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle at the surface of the skin. The hair is then removed with tweezers. Modern electrolysis methods have reduced the discomfort to a mere tingling. A topical anesthetic may be used in some cases. Find an electrolysis clinic on Secret Salons.

All times are Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
All payrolls and related transactions submitted in accordance with your Agency payroll calendar for June 2003 will be processed as 2002-03 transactions. Please note the supplemental payroll scheduled to process on June 30, 2003 is canceled. It will be rescheduled the first week of July and posted in FY 2003-04. The Bureau of State Payrolls will send out a memorandum to all agencies once the new date is determined.
All negative balances must be cleared by the close of business June 30, 2003. Agencies must input their data into Departmental Accounting by the close of business on June 26, 2003 in order for the voucher to be posted on June 30, 2003.

We will be unable to post to multiple accounts.
We strongly recommend that agencies closely monitor account balances in order to avoid delays in paying employees at the end of the fiscal year.
Any transactions entered and approved by 5:00 P.M. on June 30, 2003 will be processed as fiscal year 2002-03 disbursements.
We await the outcome of the 2003 Legislative Session regarding Class C Travel. Last fiscal year, the Implementing Bill for fiscal year 2002-03 General Appropriations Act prohibited the reimbursement for Class C travel.
Agencies may submit year-end bonus payments through either COPES/new HR System or the PC Payment System on any of the following payrolls:

FLAIR will produce a report for each agency that had outstanding records purged. Agencies need to make correcting entries in Departmental FLAIR for all records purged from the cash receipts file.
2. Cash receipts may be input on June 30, transmitted to the Treasury, and verified on June 30. Supporting documentation that is validated by 2:00 P.M. June 30 must be delivered to the Treasury by 5:00 P.M. June 30 in order for the deposit to be posted to fiscal year 2002-03. The Treasury must be able to read the bank validation on the deposit slips.
3. Those agencies depositing through the Treasury's concentration system must deliver a bank validated deposit slip on deposits made before 2:00 P.M. June 30 to the Treasury by 5:00 P.M. June 30.

Attached is a 2003 fiscal year closing schedule by agency for statewide financial statements. Prior to closing, each agency is required to perform the following tasks:
1. Review each trial balance to ensure that it is in balance. Actual accounts (General Ledger Codes 1XXXX through 7XXXX) must balance separately from budgetary accounts (General Ledger Codes 8XXXX and 9XXXXX).
2. Ensure operating transfers and federal transfers as well as due to/due from within your agency are in balance. Also, agencies should make an effort to confirm transfers to/from other agencies and due to/due from other agencies.
3. Review your trial balance to ensure cash balances agree with those reported in Central Accounting and investment balances in the State Treasury agree with those reported by the State Treasury.
4. Review each trial balance to ensure that the general ledger codes used are appropriate for the particular Statewide GAAFR and for financial statements. For a list of valid general ledger codes by Statewide GAAFR, access the Statewide Financial Reporting website at: http://www.dbf.state.fl.us/aadir/statewide_financial_reporting/index.htm.
5. Review each trial balance for atypical balances and make corrections as necessary.
6. Review each trial balance to ensure that the amounts recorded as fund balance (General Ledger Codes 549XX and 55XXX) or net assets (General Ledger Codes 535XX through 539XX) equal to last year's ending audited fund balance or net assets amount. Last year's ending audited balances can be confirmed using report AGNCYBS previously sent to your statewide financial statement contact.
7. Review each trial balance to ensure that all revenues (General Ledger Codes 6XXXX)in your agency's general revenue funds (State Fund 1) have been closed out to Collections, General Revenue (General Ledger Code 546XX).
8. At least the day before closing, ensure that depreciation has been run for all capital assets in the property subsystem. We recommend that you run simulated depreciation prior to running the actual depreciation in order to identify and correct errors. Agencies that choose to depreciate their capital assets using a method different from the straight-line method or using a system other than FLAIR are responsible for providing the Statewide Financial Reporting Section with the correctly calculated depreciation amounts for financial statements.
9. The Statewide Financial Statements Capital Asset Policy, effective July 1, 2001, requires all infrastructure assets acquired (purchased, constructed, or donated after this date) that meet the threshold for capitalization, must be capitalized and depreciated for financial statement purposes. In addition, all major general infrastructure assets acquired or receiving major renovations, restorations, or improvements after June 30, 1980 should be retroactively recorded by June 30, 2003. To review the capital asset policy, access: http://www.fldfs.state.fl.us/aadir/statewide_financial_reporting/capassets.html.
Closing reports will be sent out to agencies subsequent to closing. These reports should be reviewed, and any required adjustments should be submitted to the Statewide Financial Reporting Section within 10 days after receipt.
Except for Form P4 (Subsequent Events), all statewide financial statement forms are due to the Statewide Financial Reporting Section 10 days after closing. Form P4 is due December 15, 2003. All audited financial statements and statewide financial statement forms pertaining to component units are due September 30, 2003. If the component unit audit or forms are not available by the due date, the agency must contact the Statewide Financial Reporting Section with an expected availability date.
Additional closing instructions will be sent to agency statewide financial statement contact.
1. Because of the heavy workload experienced at year-end, it is our intent to not accept manually prepared vouchers. Requests for exceptions should be directed to the appropriate Bureau Chief. Your cooperation in minimizing these exception requests will help us close out the fiscal year in a timely manner.
2. All old negative balances should be cleared no later than June 20.
3. All functions of FLAIR will be operational for the entire day on June 30 except as noted in the above paragraphs. FLAIR will purge the voucher print file on the night of June 30 to ensure that no vouchers will print on July 1, 2003.
4. Statewide document numbers will be reset to begin with number x4000000001 on July 1, where x denotes the data base on which the number is used. The number in the first position is incremented each year to avoid duplication of statewide document numbers across fiscal years.
5. Departmental FLAIR will be available on Saturday, June 21, and Saturday, June 28, 2003. However, all work will be processed as Monday input. Please be aware any work processed on Saturday, June 28, will be treated as work for the 2003-2004 fiscal year.
6. Special Instructions for the five Universities transitioning off FLAIR on 7/1/03: the processing deadline for specific transactions set forth in the approved Transition Plan approved should be followed. Any questions concerning this transitioning process should be directed to the University's designated DFS Transition Coordinator.
No changes are known for the Certifications Forward process on June 30, 2003. Below is a summary of the Certification Forward information:
1. As was done in prior years, the CFI (Certified Forward at June 30, 2002) and NCFI (Certified Forward at June 30, 2003) fields will be available in FLAIR. Certifications forward at June 30, 2003 will be processed based on the NCFI. All items marked for certification on or before June 30, 2003 will effectively be marked in both the CFI and NCFI. FLAIR will read all subsidiaries on the night of June 30, 2003 and set the NCFI to a blank.
2. At the agency's request, FLAIR will reset the NCFI-C on all non-FCO state fund items (except those in SF-8) on the accounts payable and/or encumbrances subsidiaries at 6:00 P.M. June 30, 2003 for certifications forward. Agencies must "unmark" those items not to be certified. Receivables and memo encumbrances with no vendor will not be automatically marked.
Agencies should request automatic marking of subsidiary files in writing by Monday, June 2, 2003. Letters should identify which subsidiaries should be marked. Mail requests to:
Mr. Herb Fillyaw
No subsidiaries will be marked for requests received after June 9, and telephone requests will not be honored. The letter should also include a request for FLAIR to create an FCO Certifications Forward file from your Projected Information file records. Otherwise, these records will have to be built manually as part of the FCO Certification process. FCO Certification records from last year have been purged from the file and are not available for update.
3. For those agencies not using the FLAIR automated marking, certifications forward may be manually marked in one of the following ways:
a. Enter the "C" on the appropriate 60, 80, or 90 trans-action (NOT 6S, 8S, or 9S subsidiary updates) as part of the original input. Use this method only after June 30, 2003 because FLAIR will reset the NCFI to a blank on that night and any markings prior to that action will be lost. After June 30, transactions 60, 80, or 90 that carry a "C" will update NCFI (Certification Forward at June 30, 2002) regardless of PPI. However, to record the balance as of June 30, 2003, the appropriate PPI must be entered.
b. Call up the items on subsidiary inquiry/update screens and update them with a blank PPI to carry the "C" in a single update mode. Subsidiary inquiry screens will show both the CFI and NCFI fields.
c. Call up the items on the 1S-X screen and update them to carry the "C" and the date received for accounts payable in a multiple update mode. 1S-X may be used only for items that have no 2002-03 activity.
4. To "unmark" items that will not be certified forward, the item should be retrieved using the appropriate subsidiary update with a Blank PPI, or the IS-X screen (if there has been no current year activity), and erase the "C" in the CF field. This will remove the "C" from the NCFI.
5. Memo Accounts Receivable and Memo Encumbrances without Vendors may not be marked for certifications forward.
6. NCFI will be retrieved from the appropriate subsidiary Payment/Receipt in 2002-03, but may be overridden before processing.
7. As was done last year, Fixed Capital Outlay will be certified forward through the FLAIR Certified Forward system. Consult the EOG, Office of Policy and Budget for instructions in this area. In keeping with the policy of prior years, no FCO accounts will carry a certified forward indicator, but instead, will utilize the year indicator to identify appropriations to a specific year.
8. Certified forward processing must run before you close the fiscal year and cannot be run on the night of your year-end closing. This process is requested through the PE function. Certified forward information will be transferred to EOG upon request to the FLAIR Help Desk.
Requests must be called into the Help Desk by 2:00 P.M. on the day that you wish the transfer to occur. Only subsidiary records with positive balances will be processed and reflected on the certified forward reports. The certified forward processing and EOG transfers are separate, independent processes and must be scheduled/requested as such. If you close the year without first completing the certified forward processing, the transaction 07s to record GLs 122xx, 131xx, 134xx, 911xx, and 931xx will not be recorded.
9. You do not have to run certified forward processing before you pay items to be certified. The prior year, or June 30, 2002, subsidiary file balances are utilized for certified forward processing, but the current year on-line subsidiary function continues with updates to current year balances. Records with prior year balances will not be purged while you are in dual-year processing.
Each agency can assist with closing the 2002-03 fiscal year in the following manner:
1. Make every effort to submit all your vouchers to the Bureau of Auditing by Friday, June 20.
2. Carefully check cash and appropriation balances in all accounts to ensure that sufficient amounts are available. This will eliminate delays or rejections of payments due to funds shortages.
3. Agencies using selected operating accounts for consolidating salary payments must adjust these accounts to reflect the correct salary disbursements before the close of the fiscal year. Transfers of salary charges must be made to the applicable accounts to eliminate year-to-date negative disbursement balances.
4. Carefully review year-to-date balances in all accounts to ensure that appropriations are not over-expended and that atypical balances do not exist. Generally, accounts must not be closed out showing atypical year-to-date balances.
5. For additional information, please contact the following:
Bureau of Accounting 410-9951, SC 210-9951
Your assistance and cooperation are appreciated.

BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y. -- A "friendly, playful" 1-year-old dog with tons of puppy energy has been named the SPCA of Westchester's Pet of the Week.
Lucky, a "happy girl" who "always has a smile on her face," is great with people and other dogs, but does not get along well with cats, according to the SPCA, which said she would do well in a home with children no younger than 12 years old.
While friendly, Lucky is still working on her basic obedience, according to the SPCA, which said that she requires an owner who "is around more often than not."
To schedule a meeting with Lucky or any of the other animals up for adoption at the SPCA of Westchester, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

A 60-acre field in central Arkansas' Prairie County has been confirmed with the Mid-South's first incidence of barnyardgrass resistant to Newpath, propanil and Facet.
With the vast majority of the state's rice expected to be planted in Clearfield varieties (which make use of Newpath), weed specialists say this is only the beginning.
Rapid adoption of the popular Clearfield technology by Mid-South producers (for more, see Clearfield) along with the fact that barnyardgrass is highly prone to evolve herbicide resistance means the discovery "wasn't unexpected," says Jason Norsworthy, weed scientist and associate professor at the University of Arkansas.
"But in the Mid-South — maybe even the United States — this is the first time I'm aware of a biotype having resistance to three modes of action in a single field."
(For more on resistant barnyardgrass, see http://deltafarmpress.com/mag/farming_researchers_seek_treatments/index.html and http://deltafarmpress.com/mag/farming_top_rice_weed/index.html)
Ken Smith was hoping it would be a few more years before such Newpath resistance showed up. "When this spreads — and it will — we'll have only Command, Ricestar-type products and Prowl left for controlling barnyardgrass," says the Arkansas Extension weed specialist.
"Weed control in (the Prairie County) field is now severely limited. Growers need to know resistance can happen quickly and results in serious consequences."
Last fall, called to a rice field west of Devall's Bluff, Ark., by a worried consultant, Brent Griffen saw "several large areas of barnyardgrass although it wasn't thick enough to hurt the rice or take it down. It was randomly scattered around the field."
Griffen, Prairie County Extension staff chair, says what was "really eye-opening" was an area of the field where 15 ounces of Newpath (a normal rate is 4 ounces per acre) had been applied to the grass. "Even spraying those spots with that much Newpath didn't kill it."
Sufficiently alarmed, Griffen collected samples and sent them in for study.
Norsworthy — who oversees a weed resistance screening program in Fayetteville, Ark. — says the samples were resistant to Facet and propanil. That wasn't a surprise because, in recent years, 48 percent of the barnyardgrass samples Norsworthy has screened have proven resistant to propanil, 28 percent are resistant to Facet and 21 percent are resistant to both.
Then Newpath seemed to fail in controlling the Prairie County sample.
"Any time something is new or odd we'll go back and take a closer look," says Norsworthy. "In this case, we sprayed the grass with eight rates of Newpath and the same with Grasp. We sprayed up to 32 ounces of Newpath, an 8X rate, on two-leaf grass."
In early April, Norsworthy checked the plants he'd sprayed 21 days earlier. They were "barely bothered. We'd sprayed 20 plants with the highest rate of Newpath and killed zero. Not only that, but the untreated plants were about 18 to 20 inches tall. The treated plants were about 16 inches tall."
To deal with grass weeds in rice, five major modes of action are available: propanil, Facet, Command, ALS herbicides (Grasp, Regiment, Newpath and Beyond) and some ACCase herbicides (Clincher, Ricestar).
"So, in this Prairie County field three of the five key pieces to control barnyardgrass are completely lost," says Norsworthy. "For the last couple of years I knew a train wreck was coming. Well, the train crashed in this field and the farmer has lost the flexibility and numerous options to deal with barnyardgrass."
Growers need to fully understand that once a herbicide mode of action is lost, it is gone for good. And once resistant grass is in a field, "it will always be there. Seed is in the soil and not all will emerge in a given year. Going with a herbicide program without Facet or propanil doesn't mean that resistance will lessen in three or four years. From this day forward, those products will not be effective on barnyardgrass in that field. They will fail."
Add Newpath resistance to the mix and the Prairie County producer is in a serious quandary.
"If he plants rice, what will he do to manage barnyardgrass? Well, Command, Prowl, Bolero and the ACCase herbicides (Clincher, Ricestar) are still available — but that's it," says Smith.
While the Prairie County field is so far unique, "I'm confident it isn't the only one in the state with Newpath resistance," says Norsworthy. "With the amount of Clearfield rice we're planting and the amount of Newpath we're applying, I'm confident we'll see more."
The weed scientists say growers must be "proactive" before Newpath-resistance becomes widespread and the Clearfield technology is no longer effective in managing barnyardgrass.
"Already," says Norsworthy, "options are few — the last thing we need is even fewer."

The sleek, two-seat Chevrolet Corvette, one of the most iconic vehicles and the first true American sports car, has been produced by General Motors for six generations. The first Corvette, a convertible, was designed as a concept show car in 1953.
Early Corvettes were hand-built and fit with 235-cubic-inch six-cylinder engines, modified with dual exhaust and a three-carburetor design. A V-8 engine was added in 1955, and a fuel injection upgrade was made available in 1957. Chevrolet Corvette body designs have evolved significantly over the years. The first noticeable update was the addition of side coves in 1956. Other notable changes have included a longer front end in 1958, a tapered rear deck in 1963 in the "Stingray" redesign, and exaggerated fender flares in 1978.
Consumers have embraced the Corvette for its combination of power, design, and affordability when compared to similarly-equipped European sports cars.
One of the factors distinguishing the American-made Corvette from high-power European sports cars is that it has relied on a lighter overhead valve engine design with larger displacement; while European competitors tend to employ a heavier and more complex engine with smaller displacement.
The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette is available as a coupe or convertible in four different levels of equipment, as well as in Grand Sport Coupe, Grand Sport Convertible, Z06, and ZR1 editions. Base models come with a standard 6.2-liter, 430 horsepower LS3 V-8 engine and manage 26 mpg fuel economy and a top speed of 186 mph.
The lightweight aluminum-framed Z06 comes equipped with a 7.0-liter V-8. The ZR1 supercar, marketed as the fastest car produced by GM to date with a top speed of 205 mph, features an LS9, 638 horsepower supercharged V-8. A 2012 Centennial Edition package, available on all 2012 Chevrolet Corvette models, includes black exterior paint with bold red details such as brake calipers, wheel stripes, and seat stitching. In its final model year before a complete redesign, the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette will also make the Z06's 7.0-liter V-8 available in the Corvette convertible, called the Corvette 427.
Performance packages for the ZR1 and Z06 include features such as Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires, black aluminum wheels, and a six-speed manual transmission. Cars equipped with an optional technology package feature a Bose audio system, complete with Bluetooth, a USB port, and navigation.
Chevrolet Corvette Evolution
Chevrolet produced the first-generation Corvette C1 from 1953 to 1962. Chevrolet released only 300 Corvettes in 1953. The first Chevrolet Corvette had a 235-cubic-inch "Blue Flame" inline six-cylinder engine, a polo white exterior, a red interior, and a black canvas convertible top. Problems with early models included poor quality fiberglass, doors that opened while driving, and leaks. A choice of exterior and interior colors was provided in 1955, as well as the addition of a V-8 option for the first time. 1956 brought a redesign with side coves and the replacement of the six-cylinder with a 210 horsepower V-8 and standard three-speed manual transmission. By 1962, Chevy had increased engine displacement to 327 cubic inches with 250 horsepower standard.
1963 ushered in a new era of Corvette (the C2) with the sleeker, tapered "Sting Ray" (later spelled "Stingray") body. The first coupe debuted in this year, along with the only split-rear window offered on any Corvette, making it quite the collector's item. 1965 saw the introduction of four-wheel disc brakes, the option for side exhaust pipes, and a 396 cubic-inch big block V-8 engine. An even larger 427 cubic-inch displacement V-8 was released in 1966. In 1967, the Corvette was again tweaked to give it sharper-style fenders.
The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette introduced the first T-top removable roof panels, as well as the LT-1, ZR-1, and Collector Edition. C3 models mostly shared chassis and engine designs with the C2 generation, but they flaunted a curvier body and a new interior. Horsepower was decreased in all engines in 1971 as a result of lowered compression ratios (due to low-lead fuel). Chevy redesigned its exhaust system completely in 1975 with the introduction of catalytic converters. A lighter, more aerodynamic shape was created in 1980 to reduce drag, which was carried over until the end of C3 model run. There was no official 1983 model year Corvette produced.
Chevrolet completely redesigned the Corvette for 1984, beginning the C4 models with an all-aluminum suspension and an electronic dashboard. (The C4 generation continued until 1996.) Prototypes from 1983 had been scrapped due to quality issues. A 5.7-liter L83 "Crossfire" V-8 was carried over from 1982. A more powerful L98 tuned-port fuel-injection engine became standard in 1985. In 1986, the convertible Corvette returned for the first time in 11 years. A Grand Sport was released in 1996 with a high-performance 330-horsepower LT4 V-8. In 1989, manual transmissions were outfitted with computer-aided gear selection to improve fuel efficiency.
From 1997 to 2004 Chevrolet produced C5 models of the Corvette. Taking a cue from Japanese sports cars, the brand improved structural rigidity, which helped push top speeds to 181 mph. A new LS1 small block was introduced. The Z06 debuted as the highest-performance model to date with improved handling, a titanium exhaust system, and a lightweight carbon fiber hood, initially with a 385-horsepower V-8 and later with an uprated 405-horsepower version of the 5.7-liter engine.
The 2005 C6 Corvette featured increased passenger space, a 6.0-liter V-8 engine, exposed headlamps, and slightly reduced length. It achieved a zero to 60 acceleration speed of 4.2 seconds with 400 horsepower as standard. In 2008, the Corvette received a new 430-horsepower, 6.2-liter engine and improved automatic and six-speed manual transmissions. Chevrolet then introduced a 505-horsepower, 7.0-liter Z06 Corvette. The ZR1 returned this time with a supercharged, 6.2-liter engine in 2009, reaching a top speed of 205 mph and making it one of the best-performing sports cars in the world. It was also the first six-figure Corvette. 2010 saw the return of the Grand Sport luxury model. The C6 generation began in 2005 and still continues in 2012.

A few new dates added to the Pledge to Rage Tour and with that, so is a new track by The Dean's List called "Kryptonite Sanity Room" (K.S.R.). Mik Beats and DJ Mendoza once again put together an awesome beat especially with the piano mixed in with all sorts of greatness. Not to mention, Sonny Shotz kills it as usual with his rapping.
For anyone who has been following us, we have been supporting this group from the beginning and they continue to get better with each new track that drops. Their future is super bright and their hard work and dedication is starting to pay off. I cannot wait to seem them perform this track among other great ones of theirs when they come to L.A. on November 3rd. Enjoy!

Richard Yu, head of Huawei's mobile division, said that the company will be presenting their flagship Windows Phone 8 device, the Ascend W2, at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress in February. The comment came via Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter. We got a taste of Huawei's Windows Phone expertise at CES with their Ascend W1, but the W2 promises to be a bit more intriguing, as it looks to be the thinnest Windows Phone 8 device yet.
If supposed leaks are accurate, the Ascend W2 will be just 7.7mm thick, but will be pretty well-equipped. Word has it that it will sport a 4.5-inch, 720p HD screen that is sensitive enough to operate with gloves on, like the Nokia's Lumia phones. It will also allegedly have a 8MP rear camera, 1GB RAM, 16GB of storage and 2800 mAh battery. It is unknown what caliber dual-core processor will power the Ascend W2.
The W2 is expected to fetch about 3200 yuan ($515), a pretty reasonable price point for what looks to be Huawei's hero device. Take this as you will, but we can definitely see Huawei bringing more to the Windows Phone tablet.
Sadly, the other smartphone expected to be announced at MWC is the equally svelte Android-powered Ascend P2. We were really hoping to see the 6.1-inch WP8 device we heard about at CES. Looks like we're going to have to keep waiting on that one.

The sea around Komodo Island offers vibrant colors and exotic marine life which will enchant divers and snorkelers alike as endless schools of fish ride the waterways rushing up from deep sea vents, below them the seabed is covered with a thick carpet of florescent corals and marine invertebrates, an underwater photographers paradise.
The waters that surround the island are turbulent and teeming with unparalled marine life. A marine reserve has recently been established and this reserve is largely undocumented and remains unexplored. Komodo National Park was established in 1980. It was declared as a Man and Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site in 1986. KNP includes three major islands - Komodo, Rinca and Padar and numerous smaller islands together totaling 41,000 ha of land contains 132,000 ha of marine waters.
The corals in Komodo National park are pristine, with Mantas, sharks, turtles, dolphins, dugong, many pelagics, to the tiny pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, frog fish, you name it we've got it. The sites vary from gentle easy coral slopes to heart pounding adrenalin rides, from the warm waters of the Flores Sea in the north to the chillier waters down south in the Indian Ocean, the underwater terrain is so varied with sheer cliff walls, pinnacles, sandy flat bottoms, underwater plateaus, slopes, caves, swim-throughs, channels, all with varying colours, sizes and types of coral both hard and soft.

1.0 Use of Foods, Herbs, Nutraceuticals and Alternative Medicines:
When choosing to use any of the items or protocols in the article above, it is your responsibility to ensure safe use of the item/protocol. Food, herbs, nutraceuticals and alternative medicines all have drug interactions, most have health issue contradictions, some have side effects. Use of substances and protocols are your responsibility. Prior to use of any substance or protocol make sure you do your research - check for all cautions, contradictions,interactions, side effects. If in doubt do not use the substance or protocol. If the substance, or protocol is contradicted for your animal do not use. If your animal has an underlying condition you are not aware of substances may conflict with that condition.
2.0 The Real Meaning of Holistic…
Food, herbs, nutraceuticals and alternative medicines are NOT 'holistic' they are a substance and MAY, or may NOT be 'NATURAL'. It is important to keep in mind that the supplement industry is just as unethical as BigPharma, the Food and Pet Food Industry, and unfortunately many veterinarians.
If you use a 'natural' substance (i.e. an herb) you are using a natural substance, this is not synonymous with holistic.
Holistic is a way of approaching life, and within that - overall health, and wellbeing.
Please do not expect a natural substance to miraculously remedy a health or behavioral situation. A natural substance may be used to treat symptoms. However, if the factors causing the underlying issue are not properly identified, analyzed and addressed you do not have a remedy.
Remedy requires a comprehensive approach that identifies root cause, seeks to remove items that trigger, cause or otherwise contribute to issues, and builds a complete, and detailed approach to immediate treatment, remedy, and maintenance of long-term health = holistic.
I offer extensive consultation services - Holistic Diet, Nutrition Wellness and Holistic Behavioral, for people that are serious about looking after their dogs and cats holistically. If you want to engage my services you can contact me via email or phone.

Factory futuresParks, shops, housing best at Carlisle sites, businesses say
Ask a few business owners near Carlisle's former industrial properties what they think should rise from the dust and debris of factory demolition and the answers are similar: housing, parks or small neighborhood shops to serve residents.
The largest problem with former factories on Carlisle's north side — Masland/IAC, Tire & Wheel and Tyco Electronics — is that they're in the middle of or adjacent to large residential neighborhoods with nearby business districts.
Some business owners said they wouldn't mind having more company, especially if it meant a few more jobs to replace even a fraction of those lost when the factories closed.
"At first I didn't like this, because two of the largest employers in Carlisle on either end of my street went out of business," said Jim Gibson, owner of Firehouse Antiques at North West and C streets.
A block west is the former Tire & Wheel factory, today just empty buildings and a growing pile of rubble as concrete-crushing machines pulverize what's left of the company that made vehicle parts going back to 1917.
At the other end of C Street is the former Masland/IAC carpet and auto interiors factory. The factory spun out carpet and other products for 90 years, but it, too, is slowly becoming little more than rubble and dust. Together, the companies employed thousands of people at their heights of production.
Carlisle rezoned the former factory properties to mixed-use commercial last year and expanded its tax abatement zone to incentivize redevelopment.
It also hired Somerset County-based Stromberg/Garrigan & Associates Inc. in December to study the redevelopment options and engage the community in that process. The firm is planning workshops March 11-14 to take public input on the sites.
Housing for senior citizens, medical offices and small shops would be best for the Tire & Wheel property, Gibson said.
RE Invest Solutions, a New York-based planner with experience in converting industrial properties, has said medical offices and some residential development might be a good fit for the Tire & Wheel property. The company is overseeing the demolition and cleanup of the factory site.
The residential neighborhoods nearby are a big issue, even for business owners, but almost anything is better than vacant factories, they said.
"It needs to go into something other than industrial, something that fits the character of the neighborhood," said Cinda Cole Shannon, owner of Cole's Bicycles Inc., a Carlisle fixture on North Hanover Street for more than 65 years.
Cole's is just a couple blocks from the Masland/IAC property. Shops and apartments might work well there, Cole Shannon said. Other properties have been redeveloped in that part of town over the years.
Across from the Tyco Electronics building at Clay and Hamilton streets is 2 Generations, an embroidery, silk-screening and engraving shop for clothing and awards. It's odd that nothing is happening with the former electronics factory, said Pat Raymond, owner of 2 Generations.
"If they're tearing everything else down, it's a shame to let this go to waste," she said.
The former plant could be demolished to make way for shops, or even a parking garage for the car shows that Carlisle Events — owners of the Masland/IAC properties just up the street — presents multiple times a year, Raymond said.
Shops and restaurants or even a neighborhood park for the apartments across the street would also work, said Veronica Jackson, graphic artist at 2 Generations.
As Carlisle Events and RE Invest Solutions demolish the old factories at the larger properties, the Tyco Electronics building is the last one in limbo.
The building is still owned by Chester County-based TE Connectivity Ltd., and the company intends to sell it, spokesman Tom Peacock said.
"That could be a rehab," Carlisle Borough Manager Matt Candland said, meaning the building could be repaired, remodeled and reused.
For the time being, most plans are in a holding pattern on the properties, even if there are ideas of what they could be, he said. What comes from the Stromberg/Garrigan study will be important to generating ideas for the properties.
At a recent study information session, Bill Miller Jr., the owner of Carlisle Events, said he, too, was interested in hearing the public's input, even though he plans to develop shops, restaurants, condos and a boutique hotel on the IAC property beginning next year.
Desire is one way to gauge development ideas, but so is what developers know will sell. Ultimately, the market will determine a lot, Candland said.
"A mixture of uses is what the majority of the borough is," he said, "and that's a stable pattern, because you don't put all your eggs in one basket."
The manufacturing of ghost factories
Each Carlisle industrial property has a different story, but all are closely tied to the changing tides of American manufacturing and the recession that developed in 2008.
Ultimately, more than 600 people lost jobs in just three years when the factories closed, and even more if you count layoffs in years immediately prior.
Michigan-based International Automotive Components North America, or IAC, a conglomerate of auto parts makers for car companies, closed its factory on Carlisle Springs Road in 2008 after a steady stream of layoffs over several years.
IAC and its workers could not reach a contract deal in 2007, and the company said it was closing the factory because it was no longer competitive. More than 150 people lost their jobs when it closed.
Carlisle Tire & Wheel, a division of North Carolina-based diversified manufacturer Carlisle Cos. Inc., closed the North College Street factory in 2010 after announcing it was moving operations to a facility in Tennessee. The company received substantial assistance from Tennessee to consolidate two other facilities into one.
More than 340 people lost their jobs at Tire & Wheel between the 2009 announcement and the end of 2010.
Tyco Electronics, now known as TE Connectivity, closed its Hamilton Street factory in 2009 along with a York County facility as part of streamlining its production footprint in the U.S. and abroad. The closures left about 350 people in the midstate out of jobs, 117 of those in Carlisle.
The Switzerland-based company with U.S. headquarters in Chester County recently announced more layoffs at its offices in Dauphin County.

The most "human" bike-sharing system in the world lives in Buenos Aires
As porteñas as tango, yellow bicycles from the Buenos Aires' bike-sharing system have undoubtedly become a part of the urban landmark. In a city dominated by buses and taxis, bicycles have recently made a comeback and are slowly reclaiming the road through the bike sharing system –or bicing as we all call it. Known as Ecobici, this system has celebrated the millionth trip last December and is here to stay.
What makes Ecobici different from other bike sharing systems around the world? We think it's about two simple answers: it is operated manually and doesn't cost an Argentinian peso.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today announced that the Antelope Valley Project partners will again offer free tours of the project area in June. Seng said the bus and bike tours will give residents a first-hand look at the progress of the flood control, traffic improvement and community revitalization project.
"A great deal of progress has been made since the public tours were offered last summer," said Mayor Seng. "This a great opportunity for residents to see the improvements up close, ask questions and find out how this project is strengthening the community and opening new investment and economic development opportunities. The tours were very popular last summer, and I encourage everyone to sign up for a tour and come on down!"
On Saturday, June 10, the bike tour begins at 8 a.m., and the bus tours begin at 9 and 11 a.m. On Thursday, June 15, the bike and bus tours begin at 6:30 p.m. The 90-minute tours begin with a brief presentation at Lincoln High School, 2229 "J" Street. To sign up for a tour, residents can call 458-5901 or visit the City Web site, lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: antelope).
The tour will show the portion of the flood channel already completed and the path of the future channel. Participants will see the Big "X" overpass that spans the railroad tracks near Devaney. By the end of the year, the north, south and west legs of the elevated roadway will be open to traffic. The bus tour also will include the new Military Road and "Y" Street bridges, the Vine Street bridge and roadway, the Liberty Village housing development and Fleming Fields recreational sports park.
Antelope Valley is a joint project of the City of Lincoln, the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District. An economic analysis projects that for every dollar spent on the project, the private sector will respond with at least three dollars of private investment and redevelopment in the area.
For more information or to comment on the Antelope Valley Project, visit the City Web site, call the Antelope Valley Hotline at 458-5999 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

pleasure on an autumn day
Here is a photo essay of Friday...
I met up with Trac (with carrots) and Bridget (with apple fritters) to check out the market. We had such fun, and it felt good to speak with so many local food producers, everything from farms to the Syracuse Food Co-op was represented.
So much squash! I learned about several new varieties that I had never encountered before. There was one kind called the "Long Island Cheese Squash." "Does it taste like cheese?" I asked the farmer hopefully. "No, it's just called that because it looks like a flat wheel of cheese," he replied. D'oh- another vegan cheese possibility squashed! (pun intended!)
We saw this cute dog voraciously eating an apple- something I hadn't seen before!
We ran into Jennifer, the wonderful blogger behind Cookin' in the 'Cuse, who was running a table featuring lots of books about thoughtful eating: organics, local, justice, health, you know, all the good stuff!
I just want to take a moment to give a shout-out to Jennifer- her blog is so informative, and represents what it means to eat locally and mindfully. When Daiku and I moved to Syracuse, and were wondering about whether it is possible to eat locally in Syracuse in the winter (yes, it totally is!) her blog was one of the first and finest resources we found to help us. It has been so nice to meet Jennifer on a couple of occasions, and find such a knowledgeable force for good right here in town.
I set down my pumpkin on her table, creating a telling juxtaposition - slow food, fast food, how do we find balance between the two in American culture...?
In addition to food, the market also had tons of seasonal flowers on display, like the wonderful ones you can see above. We also found crafts, soaps, drinks, and prepared foods and restaurants.
After the market, we walked over to Oishi Sushi for lunch. It was a chilly day and the food, like the miso soup Trac is having above, really hit the spot. (Am I the only one who finds Japanese food to be the ultimate comfort food?)
Here is my salad with a carrot/ginger dressing.
Bridget's teriyake vegetable bento. The restaurant was really flexible about veganizing everything for us- in their bentos, they replaced the california rolls with veggie rolls, and the meat gyoza with veggie-filled ones.
Here's Trac's tempura veggie bento, including tempura squash- yum!
And my plate, a minimalist composition with avocado and asparagus maki.
After lunch, Bridget had to return to work, but Trac and I decided to meet Daiku for a coffee at a new Syracuse spot, Sugar Pearl Espresso Bar and Lounge. I don't know why we waited so long to check this place out! It is a beautiful space, filled with books, games, and modern decor. Everything on the menu is vegan (although they do offer milk for coffee and espresso drinks), and we salivated over the pumpkin cake, the brownies, the freshly baked cookies, and the extensive drink menu.
Finally, we decided. Above you can see my hot chocolate, made with soy milk and Scharffen Berger chocolate (back), foamed together into a decadent concoction. Trac ordered the pumpkin latté (front), with an aroma even more wonderful than its appearance.
Daiku, ever the caffeine fiend, ordered this quadruple (yes, quadruple!) espresso, which was a truly high quality tonic, with a bitter flavor and a woodsy roasted aroma. We loved Sugar Pearl and will be going back for sure.
Stay tuned! I picked up some provisions at the market for the Halloween party that we threw the next day...

my list of places to eat in Syracuse just keeps growing! asparagus maki, yum! Lao village was awesome, btw, though we ate way too much, way too late at night!
I didn't get your message about the Halloween party until Saturday afternoon and that evening was taken up with appliance-buying and Laotian-food-eating anyway. Thanks for the invitation though, that was so sweet of you! Looking forward to seeing a blog about it and feeling jealous of all the vegan Halloween goodness!

Looks like a wonderful time at the market! It is so nice to have one close to your house. I have one on my way home from work, which always makes things easier...
Now I'm in the mood to make me some sushi!

please tell Daiku that he is Chaz's and my new hero for the quadruple espresso he had. thank you very much!

Rachael, I'm glad you liked Lao Village! Yes, it's hard not to overeat there... it's one of the few places where I ever order dessert!
Vegan Noodle, it is so convenient and lovely to have markets close by, isn't it? And I could eat sushi every single day!
Celine, the quadruple wasn't even the worst of it! Sugar Pearl had a drink called "the Revolver" on their menu, featuring, wait for it, SIX shots of espresso!! My heart palpitates just thinking about it.

I went to university not far from syracuse - I wish I had found your blog back then! I never realized there were so many vegan-friendly places to go/things to do.
At least I found you now ^_^

Friday was such a blast! Just wish I didn't have to go back to work.
Double Espresso! Holy crap. I am hyperactive now can't imagine what I would be like after drinking that!

Hey Bazu....I swear you are the QUEEN of research....and I have a challenge for you. I can't seem to find a link to email you the problem, but if you're interested, can you shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com? i need your help, in the name of all that is Veg*n!!!

you live in such a nice interesting place!

Wow--what fun! Now that's what I love most about autumn...
The quadruple espresso made me laugh just because it's so familiar. What was the first thing Bob ordered when we stepped off the plane in Paris? You guessed it! :)

Haha, I'm totally digging the guy in the carrot costume!
What awesome places you have to eat / shop / hang out at nearby. I'm so jealous!

What a great market, and within walking distance - nice! I have a friend whose huge dog ate an apple every morning, the whole thing in about 2 bites. It still amazes me. I'll have to check out that blog about local eating in the wintertime. I'm not sure there's much to choose from around here.
I rarely drink my calories, but that Scharffen Berger thing looks too good.

My dogs love apples!
Looks like you have a great community there at your fingertips. I'm jealous that you're still getting fresh local produce!

what a fun day! and that pic of the pup- too cute...
I just recently discovered that many Japanese restaurants have egg in their tempura batter- so vegans beware and ask, thus far, I have yet to find a place that has egg-free tempura- sad.

I also went to graduate school at SU, but it couldn't have been as vegan friendly when I was there! I left in the spring of 1999. I became a vegan in Syracuse, though, in 1997 and it will always have a soft spot in my heart. Thanks for keeping me up to date on the good old 'cuse!

I love this line: "although they do offer milk for coffee and espresso drinks." Milk the exception rather than the rule!
I was really impressed by the number of vegetarian/vegan restaurants in N'hampton when I went there. I think parts of the US are way ahead of Europe when it comes to vegan/veg eating. Yay for the home team! (Although wait till you read about the food I had in Rome, which I will post later!)

Sounds like the perfect day! Syracuse seems like a fantastic place for vegans to live, but I have been wondering for a long time, how do you pronounce Syracuse?!
- October 30, 2007 3:50 AM
- bazu said...
Scottishvegan, that is a matter of some debate! Us out-of-towners (most Americans) pronounce it "Seeracuse", while natives pronounce it "Sarah-cuse" - it's up to you!

Wow, that Community Harvest Farmers' Market looks great!! I'm worried about that dog though - apple cores are poisonous to dogs (like chocolate, onions, garlic, etc.)!!
Last time I was in Syracuse, I went to Oishi Sushi - it's such a small restaurant (hard to find a seat), but the food is so good!! :0)
Can't wait to read about your Halloween party!!

I know what you mean about comfort food. I love, love, love veggie tempura. It puts an instant smile on my face.
That hot chocolate looks so soothing and creamy. I have yet to find a great hot chocolate recipe. I've been experimenting. I'm *almost* there!
I think this post is motivation for me to get my butt to the farmers market. Thanks for sharing! =)
- October 30, 2007 2:09 PM
- The Little Vegan said...
Haha I loved the squash pun.
It looks like a great farmers' market... and you are so lucky to be going to NYC-- I miss it already!
- October 30, 2007 2:32 PM
- The Little Vegan said...
May Wah is awesome! I am definitely planning to order some foods from their website.
You probably didn't miss the Larabar people; their stock of free samples was going SOOOO fast-- my aunt (who lives in Boston) showed up late in the day and said that they only had 2 flavors left when she got there!
- October 30, 2007 2:41 PM
- Village Vegan said...
Oooh, that looks like so much fun. And the food looks good. Especially the sushi right now, for some reason.

Hey Bazu, I think I like the out of towner pronunciation best. And I am definitely an out of towner so it's most appropriate too! :)

I decided to finally stop lurking around your blog and make a comment :)
I recently moved to Syracuse for law school and just love your blog!
I think Oishi Sushi has been my favorite find in Syracuse so far, it's on my walk home from class and the lunch special is fairly affordable.
Just wondering- do you think Sugar Pearl would be a good study spot? My study group has gone to Pheobes coffee shop in the past, but I like to switch things up.
Thanks again for your great posts!

Your city looks like such a great place to be vegan...so jealous that you've gotten to meet so many cool fellow bloggers.
And a quadruple espresso? Daiku! You are so wired!

Excellent and colorful post! Bento boxes are great for portion control and better nutrition. There are a lot of photog sites for creative bento box lunches...

Bazu thank for the great post and pics from the farmers market on SU's campus. I've been reading your blog for.....well a really long time but have never commented. My husband and I are moving to Syracuse in April, he is doing a major career change and going back to school at ESF. We live in Kansas City where the local food movement is huge so we are so glad it is becoming that way in Syracuse and look forward to contributing. Thanks again for the post!

Sugar Pearl sounds awesome! It's great to hear about cool efforts like that popping up!
- October 31, 2007 2:11 PM
- bazu said...
Letsjustescape, it's nice to hear from a local reader! Yes, Sugar Pearl looks like a great place to have your study group. On their bulletin board, I noticed a lot of groups had posted about various meetings, so I think that is something that goes on there. You'd all certainly have enough caffeine!
Livin natural, nice to "meet" you! How cool that you guys are moving here- ESF is a great school (I'm a fellow SUNY graduate, so I'm biased!) and I think you guys will have a great time in Syracuse. Local food is definitely a big and growing scene here. Let me know when you arrive in April!

I didn't know dogs like apples that much!
Sushi! Chocolate! Some of my favs :d

I didn't call you silly. I said you were making yourself look silly. If you are going to engage in a debate you need to take on board past refutations rather than lingering on the same statement in regards to the burden of proof. I had already explained to you why your statement was a fallacy. And, needless to say, you came across as clueless to me. You can't dish out your "comeback" and then cry in the face of refutation.
Perhaps you shouldn't engage in this debate if you're unprepared. There have been debates more heated than this. I don't understand why you feel "attacked". I've been compared to Scrooged and I'm not crying about it.
On the afterlife, there is nothing to disagree with me about. I have merely stated the obvious all along: there is no evidence for the afterlife.

This wide-ranging history of ancient Greek political thought shows what ancient political texts might mean to citizens of the twenty-first century.

A provocative and wide-ranging history of ancient Greek political thought
Demonstrates what ancient Greek works of political philosophy might mean to citizens of the twenty-first century
Examines an array of poetic, historical, and philosophical texts in an effort to locate Greek political thought in its cultural context
Pays careful attention to the distinctively ancient connections between politics and ethics
Structured around key themes such as the origins of political thought, political self-definition, revolutions in political thought, democracy and imperialism

"Balot's book is written with admirable clarity and offers a coherent and sophisticated perspective on ancient politics for an undergraduate.... It has a thought-provoking agenda and treats the abstract issues really well." (The Classical Review, 2008)
"This comprehensive and well-informed book fills a niche.... [A] clearly argued and illuminating book. Balot achieves his stated aims with deceptive ease." (Journal of Hellenic Studies, February 2009)
?Balot?s book is written with admirable clarity and offers a coherent and sophisticated perspective on ancient politics for an undergraduate audience.? (The Classical Review, Vol 58 No. 1, 2008)
?Balot has provided students with a carefully cleared path through several centuries of thought about Greek politics.? (Bryn Mawr Classical Review)
"Greek Political Thought is a great starting point for any student interested in the ethical and political thought of the ancient world." (Philosophy Reviews)"Balot's historical and narrative approach has the huge merit of combining ancient context and modern relevance. Balot eavesdrops on Plato, Aristotle and their forerunners and successors to bring us the hot political news. His lively brand of 'virtue politics' should instruct the advanced undergraduate and graduate student audience at which it is aimed, as well as refresh the parts of the established academy that drier scholarship cannot reach. Written in an easy and attractive style, Greek Political Thought promises to stimulate a vivacious dialogue between ancient and modern political concerns."
"This is a remarkable book, a work of exceptional erudition and insight. It supplies a much needed survey of Greek political thought, but it is considerably more than an accessible and trustworthy guide to the territory. Balot presents himself not as an antiquarian chronicler but as an active interpreter, setting out the debates among the texts of the Greek tradition as new resources for thinking about the ethics and politics of our own time. Often controversial, but always scrupulous, Greek Political Thought will be of great value to serious students at every level."

We don't have kids, at least not any with opposable thumbs, but it struck me that the benefits I've seen from knitting, could be seen by kiddos of all ages! My little cousin, Ella, also showed me this Christmas season that even tiny fingers can make great knits.
I was inspired to put together a little giveaway to share my love of this hobby! It's geared toward kids but would also be fun for grown-ups that are new to knitting.
Here are the details!
This giveaway is open to one and all and includes the following goodies;
- A brand new copy of the book, Kids Knitting (filled with cute projects for all ages)
- A set of Lion Brand kids knitting needles (these are short and light for small hands)
- A Boyce knit accessory kit (all the doo-dads you could possibly need)
- A skein of Lion Brand Wool Ease yarn (great yarn for beginners)
Don't have kids? Already an expert knitter? Don't have any interest in knitting? You can still enter! Consider donating your prize to a local charity.

USS Minnesota 'ready' for groundbreaking role
Groton - One of the first attack submarines that women will serve on relocated to the Naval Submarine Base on Friday.
On Wednesday the USS Minnesota (SSN 783) left Norfolk, Va., where it was commissioned in September as the 10th Virginia-class submarine, and made its way to the Naval Submarine Base in Groton, its new homeport.
"It feels good to finally be up here," Capt. John W. Fancher, the submarine's commanding officer, said shortly after arriving.
The submarine force needs every submarine it can get, Fancher said, and the sooner the Minnesota can support the fleet, the better. The Minnesota joins 15 submarines based in Groton. "This is the beginning of the next chapter to get the boat ready to go out and do what submarines do for combatant commanders around the world," he said.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced in October that the Minnesota and the Groton-based USS Virginia (SSN 774) are the first two attack submarines that female officers will join as members of the crews. Women have served on ballistic-missile and guided-missile submarines since the Navy lifted its ban in 2010.
"It's always nice to know you got picked to be the first to do something," Fancher said. "To me, what it means is we have a good reputation and they know we can succeed."
The Navy plans to assign three female officers to each submarine: a supply corps officer who will act as a mentor and two nuclear-trained officers. They will arrive at the base by January 2015.
In the next year, Fancher said, he is sure there will be some training and preparatory steps, but he has not been told the details. He said the crew is looking forward to it.
"It's an important step for the submarine force and the Navy, and we know we'll be ready," he said.
The submarine will spend most of 2014 at Electric Boat for maintenance, repairs, alterations and testing, the vessel's "post-shakedown availability." After this period, a submarine will typically leave for its maiden six-month deployment within 12 to 18 months.
Fancher, who leads a crew of about 135, will turn over command of the Minnesota after more than three years in charge to Cmdr. Brian Tanaka, a Minnesota native, in late February. Fancher said he is incredibly proud of the crew because of how well they have done their jobs and how respected they are.
Fancher will next serve as the deputy commander of Task Force 69 in Naples, Italy. He said he looks forward to seeing "Minnesota's name in lights in the future."
The sub and the crew, he said, "are going to continue doing great things."
