Like most parts of the world, Africa is becoming a continent with vast lovers of wines. Even though several fruits such as bananas, mangoes, pineapples, papayas, and other fruit grow in the tropics, have been used to make wine, grapes are also being grown in various regions in Africa. South Africa is best-known for varieties of wineries, but still, other countries such as Morocco, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania produce wines.
The increasing demand for wine coolers is a sure indication of many wine drinkers in Africa, as people can store several bottles in their homes. One of the recent past challenging issues is wine keeping since the quality is often affected by a number of factors. Africans that enjoy drinking wines lack adequate knowledge about wine storage, but today many people have come to realize that the standard refrigerators cannot do the trick. That is why wine coolers are becoming popular in numerous countries.
Wine Production Regions in Africa
South Africa is one of the major wine producing countries, and Constantia valley being of the leading wine destinations. Apart from this oldest wine farm, Stellenbosch Winesland gives a perfect destination for visitors from different parts of the world. White wine is the most popular, as white grapes are mainly grown mainly here. Other wine producing regions in South Africa include Paarl, Franschhoek wine valley, and Somerset. Since they produce in large scale, the wines are consumed locally and internationally.
The second known wine producing country is Algeria. Both red and white wines are produced in different regions including Coteaux De Mascara and Coteax De Tlemcen. Morocco is another wine production leader, mainly found in Atlas Mountains and Syrah and Merlot are some of the tastiest wine grapes grown in this region. Ziway in Ethiopia is another wine producing region, and it has been growing some of the most sought after red and white grapes since 1990s. Tunisia is known for rose wine, the red wine produced from varieties of grapes such as grenache, carignan, merlot, and syrah among others.
East Africa is not left behind among countries that produce best wines across the continent. Dodoma is Tanzania is famed for producing Konyagi, a common drink found in many wineries and bars. Kenya on the other hand, wine is produced in Yatta Plateau and Naivasha, as well as along the Great Rif Valley escarpments. Even though these places have not received significant recognition worldwide, visitors from other countries enjoy the wines once they land there.
Tips for Wine Keeping
Wine is not like any other beverage because it requires a bit of special storage. Many people have refrigerators and fridges in their homes, which they use to store foods and other drinks. Some people even store their wine bottles in fridges, but this is not the best wine keeping method. Wine should be stored in its own unit, and wine coolers offer incredible storing conditions for wines. Here are the tips every wine lover should know;
Store wine bottles on their sides
If you have done some research on wines, probably you have wines placed on their sides in wine coolers. Wines should be allowed to rest as the sediments settle, so that the quality is not affected. Also, the sediments should not settle at the bottom of the bottle, because you will be forced to shake thoroughly before opening the cork. Therefore, always store your wines on their sides to maintain good quality.
Don't store wines in standard fridges
Home fridges are not ideal for keeping wines, as they have thousands of vibrations. This interrupts settling of the sediments, thus affecting the quality of wine. In addition to vibrations, the temperature of a fridge is not constant. Wine coolers are the best for storing wines since they have an optimum temperature set specifically for wines.
Store wines is a specific wine cooler
It is advisable to store your wines in a specific wine cooler that is not used by all members of your family. Do not put food stuff in a wine cooler, where kids will keep on opening and closing on a daily basis. Opening and closing of the wine cooler make the bottles' corks to dry, allowing air to enter the bottles. This affects the quality of wines, hence ruining your investment. You can check the top wine coolers here.
Store different types of wines
If your taste is red wine does not mean you cannot store white wines. Probably your guest or visitor prefers white wine, and therefore you will have done him or her a favor. If you drink both red and white wines, ensure you have all of them in the wine cooler.

This is a classic chocolate sponge sandwich with a classic chocolate buttercream filling. You could jazz it up with a Ganache topping, or a whipped cream and fruit filling, but I've gone for simplicity this week.
What I liked about this cake was that it was chocolaty but not overly rich; sometimes chocolate cakes head more into the dessert/truffle territory, which is lovely, but not what I was aiming for. The sponge was light and soft but satisfyingly sticky too – definitely a tea time cake! If (like me) you sometimes find yourself eating a 'grown up' chocolate cake, fighting back grimaces at the bitterness and trying to kid yourself that you're really enjoying the strong cocoa content chocolate, this may be the cake for you!
Not sure really why these sponges turned out to be such whoppers! You'll see from the ingredients that the volumes are fairly standard for a sponge sandwich. The sponges just rose, and rose, and rose. While they're lovely light sponges the cake did look huge when stacked!
This post marks my blog's third birthday! Where has the time gone? It seems only yesterday that my friend Soo helped me take the first tentative steps into blog land (thanks Soo!) and I clearly remember the excitement when my daily hits got into double figures!
Google analytics provides constant entertainment with its detailed stats about my blog…well, I am an accountant…what do you expect! Most of all I love the country analysis; I've never been able to get over the wonder of me baking a cake in my kitchen and then someone in Rwanda reading about it – I think we sometimes forget the awesomeness of the web.
Since my blog started back in September 2007 there are four countries whose readers average over 10 minutes per visit to my site; these aren't single visit blips either. I think if I gave you all year to guess you wouldn't get them! They are….
….in 4th place, with an average visit time of 10 mins 2 secs – Suriname….
….in 3rd place, with an average visit time of 10 mins 31 secs – French Polynesia…
…in 2nd place, with an average visit time of 11 mins 23 secs – the Marshall Islands…and….
….in 1st place, with a whopping average visit time of 14 mins 23 secs – drum roll please – Dominica!
A big hello to all my far-flung exotic readers!
The three most popular recipes on my site don't seem to change – well, the top two don't. It pleases me that they are classics with lovely flavours. In order of popularity they are:
I'll stop there before I bore you all to death with blog stats…I fear these might be like baby stories i.e. fascinating to the parents and dull as ditchwater to everyone else!
Here's to the next year and the cakes I am yet to meet (i.e. eat)!
For the cake:
225g unsalted butter, at room temperature
225g caster sugar
4 eggs
225g self raising flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
150ml milk
For the buttercream:
85g unsalted butter, at room temperature
170g icing sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon boiling water
Preheat the oven to 160˚C/fan oven 140˚C/320˚F/Gas mark 3.
Line the bottoms and sides of two 20cm loose bottomed sandwich tins with baking paper.
Start by making the cakes: place the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until pale, soft and fluffy. Don't skimp on this stage as it's the key to a light sponge.
Gradually beat in the eggs. If the mixture starts to curdle, beat in some of the flour.
Stir in the flour, cocoa powder and milk.
Spoon the batter into the prepared tins and level the surface.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Mine took exactly 50 minutes.
Leave to cool in the tins on a wire rack.
When cool enough to handle, remove the sponges from the tin and leave to cool completely on the wire rack.
The sponges can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container overnight.
To make the buttercream: beat the butter until it is soft.
Sift the icing sugar over the butter along with the cocoa powder and water and beat until smooth, soft and well combined. The more you beat, the lighter and more whipped the buttercream will taste.
Place one of the sponges – flat side up – on the serving plate and spread the buttercream over it.
Place the remaining sponge – flat side down – onto the buttercreamed sponge.
If required, dust icing sugar over the top, but I never bother with this!
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

Liam Payne of One Direction Gets New Tattoo
One Direction member Liam Payne has been making some changes to his appearance lately. The singer shaved his head last month, showing his boyishly handsome good looks. Now, he has gotten a fresh tattoo. It's small but poignant.
The 1D hottie got the words "Only time will tell…" etched in thin, black script on the back of his wrist. It is simple but it sure still looks cool, and the words must have some significance to Liam. We can't wait to hear more details about why he chose this particular phrase. Perhaps it is a reference to how HUGE 1D's new album 'Take Me Home' will be when it drops next month.
Also, this just isn't another pop singer sharing a photo of a finished tattoo via Twitter. Payne actually tweeted the shot while his tattooist was inking it into his skin. You can see the tattoo artist's needle, blue-gloved hands and paper towel. So Payne snapped the shot in real time.
PopCrushers and Directioners, what do you think of Liam Payne's new tattoo? Do you like the phrase? The artistry of it? Tell us in the comments field below.

In his recent guest column, Morris Kramer has re introduced the idea that the all powerful and ill-willed "surfers" are responsible for the damage Long Beach incurred during Sandy. I thought we had disproved this theory and moved on. I guess not.
Mr. Kramer writes, "In 2006, the surfers relentlessly pressured the city council, forcing the members to unanimously vote against an Army Corps of Engineers plan to protect Long Beach."
Mr. Kramer has the right to believe that the city should have gone ahead with the Army Corps of Engineers plan. We are all free to make our own decisions. But please, can we stop making it seem like a bunch of rogue surfers took to the streets threatening to spear the good citizens and leaders of Long Beach with their surfboards if they didn't join the anti Corps movement?
Here is what happened in 2006: The Army Corps of Engineers presented a plan for the Long Beach barrier island. Many residents felt that this plan was flawed and could be more trouble than it was worth. Why? The plan greatly increased the likelihood of diminishing surf quality while creating dangerous rip currents. There was no guarantee as to the size of sand particles that would be used for beach replenishment. When incompatible sand particles are placed on top of one another, erosion can be amplified. There was no guarantee as to the cleanliness of sand that would be used. It was questionable as to whether or not a dune alone would provide maximum protection. The plan did not incorporate any protection on the bay side. Were the waves an issue? Yes. Were they the only issue? Absolutely not.
Concerned residents began working with an organization called the Surfrider Foundation. I understand that names can be deceiving, but believe it or not, the Surfrider Foundation is made up of more than just surfers concerned with surfing!

Paden Mudbog - Oklahoma Mud BathPosted in Events on May 5, 2014
Most mud events started out down on the farm, where the back 40 got plowed under or the creek rose too much and someone just had to go and see how deep it was, usually in Pop's truck. Eventually your buddies came along, and before long a full-fledged mud bog and course evolve. It happens all over the country.
We happened upon one last year in the middle off Oklahoma, as we passed a small roadside sign on a hot summer weekend: "Paden Mud Bog this way" with an arrow. Since we had our trusty WWII jeep with NDT tires on, we fancied ourselves slipping and sliding around, and headed down to the farm.
What we found was a bit too deep for a stock jeep, but the good ol' boys were ripping and snorting through the mud and having more fun than a barrel of monkeys. After meeting owners Wayne and Tammy Starnes, we settled in for afternoon of fun in the sun.
Paden Mud Bog and Rock Crawling has been open a few years now. They have races, camping, and even a rock park for testing your rigs out on. And be warned: This mud is slick and deep! Be ready to get stuck and have some fun. Check them out at www.padenmugbog.com or call 405.932.4851.

People behind KDE: Michael Häckel
KMail is a central tonality of the KDE harmony. Part of the team of developers who invest work and passion into this interesting project, Michael Häckel hacks away, making great contributions to the KDE Project. Appropriately, Tink has put up this latest interview on the People pages. Dedicated contributers like Michael only help shine a bright light into KDE's future.
Re: People behind KDE: Michael Häckel
You weren't responsible for that 1,000,000th second bug, were you? ;-)
But seriously, KMail works pretty fine. I use it at work and it's quite useable.
There are some stability/speed/memory concerns when loading very large messages or a very large set of messages from POP3 (cron outputs etc), as well as not being able to use Maildir format and I would like a feature alike KNode were a message stays unread for several seconds even though it is displayed so I can skim through new messages and still have them marked as unread.
But of course if these things *really* bothered me I would've filed a wishlist report or started to code. :-)
Keep up the good work!

text: This French line of defense was constructed along the country's border with Germany during the 1930s and named after Minister of War André Maginot. It primarily extended from La Ferté to the Rhine River, though sections also stretched along the Rhine and the Italian frontier. The main fortifications on the northeast frontier included 22 large underground fortresses and 36 smaller fortresses, as well as blockhouses, bunkers and rail lines. Despite its strength and elaborate design, the line was unable to prevent an invasion by German troops who entered France via Belgium in May 1940.

Victorian Trade Cards with a
Textile Theme
Trade Cards have existed since the early 17th century as paper handouts with information on the location and wares of the early shopkeeper. Eventually during the 18th and in the beginning of the 19th century this advertising material started to appear in the format of a small palm size paper card. Until this time the trade card was usually printed from a copper engraving, generally incorporating the sign of the proprietor's trade and/or premise.
In 1840 the chromolithographic printing process was developed in Germany. This process was eventually adopted by a number of printers in America by the 1860s and 1870s. With the adoption of this printing technology, retail businesses soon realized the appeal of printing multi-color trade cards. The public quickly became captivated by these colorful give-aways. By the 1880s, many individuals were collecting these cards and saving them in scrapbooks. The printers of these cards supported this fascination by producing cards in sets; the individual customer was required to keep coming back to the shop to acquire a complete set. This mania for collecting trade cards begins to die off around 1900 with the change in postal regulations. At this time the rates for magazines decrease and many businesses turn to this medium for advertising their product.
During the height of popularity for the chromolithographic trade card, from 1880-1900, popular culture was an inspiration for many of the designs. This interest in popular images coupled with the wide range of different commercial products and establishments produced a large variety of card images. During this time, industries related to apparel where a major source of interest to the public. The sewing machine, which had been invented in 1840, was generally the most important purchase for most households. Of course, the sewing of clothes also required thread, for hand use and by the sewing machine. Along with the sewing machine, the development of chemical dyes in the 1850s increased the possibility of home dyeing. These home interests were paralleled by changes in retail trade with the advent of large department stores in the 1880s. All this industries produced trade cards.
The trade card collection found in the Special Collections department of the Paul J Gutman Library focuses on presenting an overview of the use of these Victorian trade cards in advertising the textile industry in America. Our definition of "textiles" is all encompassing. All aspects of the commercial trade that delt with "fiber"; their manipulation and sale as an end product are included in the collection.

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of your upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. A rotator cuff injury can cause a dull ache in the shoulder, which often worsens when you try to sleep on the involved side.
Rotator cuff injuries occur most often in people who repeatedly perform overhead motions in their jobs or sports. Examples include painters, carpenters, and people who play baseball or tennis. The risk of rotator cuff injury also increases with age.
Many people recover from rotator cuff disease with physical therapy exercises that improve flexibility and strength of the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint.
Typical symptoms
While each specific rotator cuff injury has its own specific symptoms and signs, you can suspect a rotator cuff injury if you have:
You may have pain in the shoulder when you lift your arm to the side, or pain that moves down your arm. At first, the pain may be mild and only present when lifting your arm over your head, such as reaching into a cupboard. Over-the-counter medication, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, may relieve the pain at first. Over time, the pain may become more noticeable at rest, and no longer goes away with medications. You may have pain when you lie on the painful side at night. The pain and weakness in the shoulder may make routine activities such as combing your hair or reaching behind your back more difficult.
Therapeutic aspects
Once you suspect a rotator cuff injury, it is important to confirm the exact type of your rotator cuff injury since treatment does vary depending on the specific or combination of rotator cuff injuries. Your rotator cuff is an important group of control and stability muscles that maintain "centralisation" of your shoulder joint. In other words, it keeps the shoulder ball centred over the small socket. This prevents injuries such as impingement, subluxations and dislocations. We also know that your rotator cuff provides subtle glides and slides of the ball joint on the socket to allow full shoulder movement. Plus, your shoulder blade (scapula) has a vital role as the main dynamically stable base plate that attaches your arm to your chest wall. Researchers have concluded that there are essentially 7 stages that need to be covered to effectively rehabilitate these injuries and prevent recurrence.
These are:

- Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Ferrari
Alonso hopes for P11 bonus
Fernando Alonso is hoping starting from 11th place in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will turn out to be a benefit for Ferrari.
Alonso failed to qualify in the top ten for the first time this season in Abu Dhabi as he dropped out in Q2, with team-mate Felipe Massa only able to qualify in eighth. Alonso said the reasons for Ferrari's problems at Yas Marina were clear, but that he hoped being allowed a free choice of tyre strategy would prove beneficial.
"It was just general traction problems; not today but all weekend," Alonso said. "In practice we've been not so quick - both Ferraris always out of the top ten - in practice and in qualifying two we were 10th and 11th. So definitely a difficult track for us here but we'll see tomorrow how the race develops. Sometimes we've seen races where it's good to start in P11 with new tyres; hopefully tomorrow we'll see one of those."
Asked if Ferrari's long run pace was more encouraging, Alonso said he was banking on previous form ringing true again.
"Normally on Sunday we do improve our performance. There's nothing on the numbers that makes clear that tomorrow will be better, but by feeling we think that tomorrow normally is better because on Sunday we improve. We need to have a clean race; starting at the back there are more possibilities to get it wrong because you need to risk more to overtake."

Mandrakesoft Sees Room For Several Linux Players
Mandrakesoft's Look at the Big Picture
"We think that the Linux market is big, and that there's room available for several Linux players," said Ga�l Duval, the founder of Mandrakelinux and a co-founder of Mandrakesoft. With much of the Linux industry consolidating around Novell/SUSE and Red Hat, and some other smaller Linux distributions feeling the squeeze, Mandrakesoft managed to return to profitability in the first quarter of the year. Right now, the Linux distributor is brimming with activity around new products, partnerships, and Web-based services.
Beyond plans to exit the French equivalent of bankruptcy, Mandrakesoft's flurry of announcements since January has included Mandrakesoft 10.0 Community, a new version of its flagship product; Mandrakesoft 10.0 Official for AMD64; and Personalized Solutions and Maintenance Program (PSMP), a new online offering geared to small to medium-sized businesses, government agencies, and other organizations that want to purchase Linux at volume prices.
For the future, Mandrakesoft is eyeing new products for corporate enterprise use, a deal with a major hardware maker, and improved security updating, Duval said in an interview.
"There will be an exciting product made in partnership with a well known hardware maker. We're (also) going to launch more and more products specifically dedicated to use in corporations. We will start with a new version of Corporate Server, plus a new product called 'Corporate Desktop,'" according to Duval.
Mandrakesoft voluntarily entered Chapter 11-like status in January, 2003. On March 30 of this year, after the vendor posted its first profitable quarter since 1999, the French Commerce Court in Paris approved the company's plan to emerge from redressement judicaire. Under the plan, Mandrakesoft will repay its creditors over a nine-year period, without recapitalization.
During an observation period following the bankrupcty filing, Mandrakesoft concentrated on refocusing its core business on Linux, cutting costs, and developing "high margin" revenue lines.
Instead of lower margin retail boxes, Mandrakesoft is now trying to put more of its energies into online sales and Mandrakeclub subscriptions. Now 20,000 members strong, Mandrakeclub delivers an online forum to subscribers, along with early access to Mandrakesoft products and other benefits, Duval said.
Meanwhile, Hewlett-Packard continues to ship PCs bundled with Mandrakelinux 9.2. despite a recently unveiled deal with Novell SUSE. "These PCs are selling very well. We have other projects with HP, and with additional PC manufacturers, too," according to Duval.
The road back to profiability hasn't been painless, though, he admitted. "Unfortunately, there were layoffs, including a world-class but expensive management team. There were also big costs that took almost two years to cut, such as several agreements with service providers, and some unused workplaces," he elaborated.
Yet Duval also pointed to a number of factors that give him confidence in Mandrakesoft's future. "Our user base is okay, and it's growing quickly," Duval said.
Duval also continues to view the Mandrakelinux distro as unique. "The product itself is certainly one of the most advanced Linux distros currently available, and it's now becoming one of the most polished. It comes with an incredible number of applications," he contended.
"Secondly, we do not focus on 'the desktop' or 'the server.' We just want to make Linux easier to use, regardless of what users want to do with Linux. So Mandrakelinux is used for tasks ranging from big corporate Web and database servers, to scientific workstations in large research centers, multimedia applications, and home and corporate office apps," Duval added.
"Last but not least, Mandrakelinux is not just a product. It's a huge community of users who interact with each other and with Mandrakesoft. Mandrakesoft is one of the most open-minded publishers of Linux. We really believe that we have a mission to promote open source software, and to prove that it's a credible alternative to commercial software. Many users of Mandrakelinux understand this and feel empowered by it," according to Duval.
Along the way, Mandrakesoft has been introducing new features into its products. For instance, Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community adds Mandrakeonline, as well as the Mandrakegalaxy 2 desktop theme.
"We realize that Mandrakelinux users need to keep their systems clean, and that they need to track their security updates. Mandrakesoft already publicly provides a support policy and free security updates for all its products, including the download edition of Mandrakelinux," Duval said.
"But Mandrakeonline offers more than just acceess to free security updates. It warns the user when a new security update is available, either by e-mail or by blinking a Mandrakesoft icon on the user's desktop. It also provides automatic update, plus an update tracking service for (multiple) machines with a single account. As a result, it's an extremely useful service for system and network administrators. We are soon going to 'launch' Mandrakeonine, and new content is going to appear at http://www.mandrakeonline.net," according to Duval.
Mandrakegalaxy 2, on the other hand, offers an improved look and feel over Mandrakegalaxy 1 through a number of nuances, Duval said. "It's important to recognize that Mandrakegalaxy is not like a simple graphical desktop theme made up of images. Mandrakegalaxy been designed and coded from scratch under both KDE and Gnome. Thus it's very fast, and uses less memory than a bitmap theme," the Mandrakelinux founder maintained.

Product Description
Kent marine phosphate sponge is a ceramic medium which will adsorb phosphates quickly (within hours) when placed directly in the water flow. Works in fresh and saltwater aquariums or ponds to bring about 1.0 P.P.M. of phosphate or silicates down to less than .05 P.P.M. in a 120 gallon tank for every dry quart of medium. For silicate to be removed, phosphates must first be removed. Beads are cracked to expose more surface area and increase efficiency! This product will not release soluble aluminum compounds into your aquarium, causing negative reactions from your inverts, as competing products may. Will also absorb moisture for use as an air dryer for ozone, and can be renewed over and over in moisture removal service!

I agree it is odd to list Fort Monmouth, but that is what DOD is listing. Nick
You may want to retract the last sentence in your article above. Ft. Monmouth was closed and most, not all, of the activities and organizations, including the Army Contracting Command, have been transferred to Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. I know, because I worked at Ft. Monmouth and have relocated to Md due to this, along with thousands of others.
The Army Contracting Command is located at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland. It relocated in 2011.
There is no Army Contracting Command at Fort Monmouth. The Fort was closed September 15, 2011 and remains empty except for a caretaker (contractor) group of some 50 people.

Desserts made with rice are popular in Punjab and are considered a good omen that incorporates both rice and sweet dish. It is often served at weddings and is also found at most 'gurudwaras'. Delicious saffron and cardamom flavoured sweet rice is an ideal end to a typical Punjabi meal. Garnish it with some a few saffron (kesar) strands.
We are lucky to be living in a land of such diverse and dynamic cultures. Gujarat is the hub of vegetarianism and this dish is one of their favourites. Panchamel refers to a practical yet delectable combination of rice with four types of dal. Serve hot with ghee, pickles, papad and curd. Close your eyes at the first mouthful and foray to the heart of Gujarat.
A memorable rice preparation with layers of rich nawabi gravy enriched with saffron and dry fruits. It has a slightly sweet flavour because of the fruits.
An innovative rice preparation with a rich aroma of spices. Almond biryani combines french beans and green peas with sliced almonds adding a dash of crunchy fun to each meal. Using cooked rice and available biryani masala, this dish can be prepared within minutes. The garnish of fried onions adds to the appeal of this biryani.
Rice cooked in saffron, milk, nuts and cardamom.

text: A Taste of Japan in Southwest Missouri June 25, 2012 11:03 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgDay TV By Tyne Morgan, AgDay national reporter Innovation is key for this Missouri farm that specializes in Japanese vegetables Mark Frank is a teacher by trade. "I was anything but a farmer when I was growing up," Frank said. He ventured to Japan and taught English for 12 years. There, he fell in love, married a Japanese woman who is now his wife and started a family. His love went beyond his wife, son and daughter—he also developed a passion for farming. "While I was in Japan I got into farming, actually, I really liked the small scale, organic, traditional farming that they did over there," Frank said. "I read some books first, then I got to know some farmers. And then decided to move back to the U.S. and it seemed like a good direction to go in." So, when he made the trek back to the states to return home to southwest Missouri, he not only brought his family, but a box of edamame seeds. In four years, that one box has grown into 70 to 80 varieties on what his 18-acre farm. "About 80% of it are actual varieties that we import from Japan," Frank said. We import the seeds over every year. And we're year round. We have a couple high tunnels and we use low tunnels, as well. To try and grow as much as we can 12 months out of the year." Frank says other than the hot summers and harsh winters in southern Missouri, growing Japanese vegetables have a good fit in southwest Missouri. "The latitude was very similar to where we were in Japan," Frank said. "So things that are daylight sensitive like edamame, tend to perform the same over here than they would over there." And Echigo Farm continues to find new growing methods to stay green while making Japanese vegetables work in this area. So this year the family is trying no-till. And the key to no-till on the farm is straw and rice hulls. "We mulch a bed about 12 inches deep in early spring to late winter and allow that to start breaking down the root systems underneath," he said. It's a natural growing method that doesn't use any equipment, chemical fertilizers or pesticides. He says this type of farming does take more time and attention. He says building the beds from the top down takes about a year to get the soil prime for planting. "We don't want to be gasping for air. We are beautifying it and always trying to simplify our process," Frank said. That process and farming method helps create a unique story for Echigo Farms. And that story is what helps create a customer base with a growing hunger for their Japanese products. "For us, quality is the most important, even more than local or even more than organic," Frank said. "When we take our stuff to the market, we don't want people to buy it just because it's local or just because it's organic. We want them to buy it because it's the best produce we can grow." Even though Frank has stepped down from teaching in the classroom, he hasn't lost his teachers' touch. He fulfills that love at the local farmers' market. For example, he says edamame broke off from conventional soybeans about 400 years ago. He says the soybean is picked while still green in color, which is about 30 days prior to conventional soybeans. And he says it's a unique food in it as the vitamins of a vegetable, the protein of a soybean, which makes for a nutritious snack. "We try to educate people as much as we can. You know I'm really interested in the history and the culture of the varieties," Frank said. "Not just how to eat them but the story behind them. So we put out a lot of information about that." It's more than just the consumers that are learning lessons through Frank. His two children are also involved every step of the way on the family farm. "Right now we have a hen house with about 50 laying hens," he said. "They help out in the field too. And I think it's educational for them. They know all the tastes of all the different foods. And I think that's tremendously important for children." Frank has been farming full-time for about a year and laying the ground for what he sees as a successful future for his family. "I hope not just to survive, but I hope to thrive," Frank said. For More Information Watch U.S. Farm Report. Back to news

EVERY Memorial Day Weekend,
members of Washington State's Audubon Chapters and their friends
gather in the Wenas Valley, located on the east slope of the Cascade Mountains
between Ellensburg and Yakima. With a
variety of natural history and recreation opportunities, the Wenas Valley is a beautiful
area that supports a fascinating assortment of spring flora and fauna,
and offers the spiritual fulfillment of simply being outdoors in the
spring. Everyone whether members of Audubon chapters or not is welcome
to join us for this outing, which is attended each year by around 200
men, women and children and a large number of birds which, we like to
think, enjoy being watched ever as much as we enjoy watching them.
The gathering is held in the vicinity of the Larrison Tree along Wenas Creek
within the Wenas Creek Campground.

There are "campfire"* programs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, and
(both birding trips and wildflower trips) scheduled Saturday, Sunday, and
Monday. Love of nature of all varieties means there may be insect hunts or
bat watching as well.
And best of all, the entire event is open to all and is FREE.**

HIV Infection and Associated Risks Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men in a Florida Resort Community
June 23, 2003
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Several recent studies have reported high rates of sexual risk-taking and HIV infection among young men who have sex with men. Research led to warnings that a new generation was at risk for HIV infection, especially young MSM of color. In 1996, Miami-Dade County, Fla., had one of the highest AIDS rates among U.S. metropolitan areas. South Beach, situated at the southern end of Miami Beach, was among the top three ZIP-code areas for Miami-Dade County in the number of reported AIDS cases. Almost all studies of the prevalence of HIV infection and associated risk behaviors among young MSM have used samples of convenience, greatly limiting the generalizability of the findings. The current study was designed to obtain population-based estimates of HIV prevalence among young MSM living in South Beach.Adapted from:
A household probability sample was drawn to survey unmarried 18- to 29-year-old MSM resident in South Beach for at least 30 days. Subjects were interviewed, completed self-administered questionnaires, and provided oral specimens for HIV antibody testing.
Between January 20 and December 19, 1996, individuals at 2,622 residential units were screened, yielding 108 18- to 29-year-old eligible MSM; 100 (92.6 of eligible participants) consented and completed study procedures. Of the 100 MSM interviewed, 48 identified as white, 44 as "Hispanic, Latino, Spanish heritage," five as African American, and three as "other." Median age was 28 years. Sixty-one MSM reported having a four-year college degree. Seventeen percent were currently in school part- or full-time. More than half (55 percent) reported having resided in South Beach for less than two years. Forty-one (41 percent) reported a current relationship with a primary partner. By self-identification, 84 percent identified as gay or homosexual; 12 percent as bisexual; and 4 percent as heterosexual.
Many respondents (27 percent) reported attendance at local gay bars and nightclubs more than once a week in the prior year and an additional 29 percent reported weekly attendance. Approximately one half reported using ecstasy (MDMA; 51 percent), or cocaine (48 percent) within the previous year. Forty-five percent had used three or more recreational drugs within the past year; 34 percent reported at least weekly use of some drug. More than half (56 percent) reported having had anal sex while high on alcohol and/or drugs during the previous year; 24 percent reported that at least one half of their anal sex was under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
All 100 men who completed the interview and questionnaire provided a specimen for OraSure HIV testing, and 93 percent reported a prior HIV test. Fifteen respondents (15 percent) tested positive for HIV antibodies. All 15 reported a history of HIV testing; one-third (n=5) reported that their previous HIV test was negative. Using the date of their most recent HIV test for the five MSM who reported a negative result for this test, researchers estimate the incidence to be 6.3 percent.
Recent migrants to South Beach were more likely to test HIV positive than were longer-term residents. There was a trend for MSM who did not have a primary partner to be more likely to test HIV positive. Orasure test positivity was associated with higher reported number of anal intercourse partners and "cruising" in public areas for sex partners in the prior year, but was not associated with UAI in the prior year or unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with a nonprimary partner. Neither age nor race/ethnicity was associated with HIV antibody status.
Within the past year, 81 percent of respondents reported anal intercourse; 45 percent of the sample reported engaging in UAI. UAI was not associated with age, race, educational background or length of residency. MSM having a primary partner were significantly more likely to report engaging in UAI in the last year than were MSM not having a primary partner. Men "cruising" in public places were significantly less likely to report UAI than were those who did not report "cruising." MSM who reported engaging in unprotected receptive oral intercourse with ejaculation tended to report engaging in UAI. Having a primary partner, "cruising," and fellatio with ejaculation were significant predictors of UAI in the past year in the logistic regression model.
"The high prevalence of UAI and HIV infection in South Beach attest to a previously undocumented public health concern," the study authors concluded. "The extremely high estimated incidence for young MSM in South Beach highlights the urgent need for more effective risk-reduction interventions and further epidemiological research on resort areas."

The ESPN Fantasy Football 2012 app has vanished from the Windows Phone Store and those who have been using the app have seen their teams vanish as well. The app itself has disappeared from the Nokia Collection as well but if you follow this link, you can still find the app's listing.
Unfortunately, the Nokia exclusive is noted (for both Windows Phone 7 and 8) as not being available for your device from your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone. From the online store, the app is simply listed as "not available online" likely due to the Nokia exclusivity.
We reached out to ESPN's Customer Care and received this reply,
"Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're currently aware of the problem and are working to resolve it as expeditiously as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we resolve this."
Hopefully ESPN will restore order to the fantasy football app as well as everyone's fantasy teams. If we hear of anything new on this, we'll pass it on. In the meantime, you can head over to this WPCentral forum discussion and share your thoughts on the matter.
Thanks, everyone, for the tip!

Yankees RHP Rafael Soriano opts out of contract; Angels trade Ervin Santana to Royals
Rafael Soriano turned out to be a vital insurance policy for the New York Yankees. Now, they might need a new one.
The fill-in closer opted out of the final year of his $35 million, three-year contract Wednesday and will likely seek a long-term deal in free agency. Soriano had 42 saves for the AL East champions last season after Mariano Rivera tore knee ligaments in early May.
Soriano was set to make $14 million next year and had until Wednesday to opt out. Instead, New York will pay him a $1.5 million buyout. The Yankees can make him a qualifying offer of $13.3 million before Friday's midnight deadline and if Soriano signs with another team, they will get draft compensation.
"I'm not surprised because (agent) Scott Boras told me he was confident he could get him 15 times four (years), $60 million. If that's the case, it would be a good deal for Soriano," Yankees president Randy Levine told The Associated Press. "I hope that's what's real in the marketplace."
Soriano, who will be 33 in December, signed his lucrative contract with New York before the 2011 season after saving a career-high 45 games for Tampa Bay. Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner overruled general manager Brian Cashman in making the deal after Cashman was opposed to it.
Soriano began his stint with the Yankees as a setup man, then took over as the closer after Rivera was injured and did an outstanding job. But his potential departure further complicates an uncertain situation at the back of New York's bullpen for 2013. Rivera, who turns 43 in November, vowed right after his injury to return next year, but recently said he isn't sure whether he will pitch again.
While Soriano appears poised to leave the Yankees, Ervin Santana is headed to Kansas City and Ryan Ludwick plans to test the open market.
The Royals made their first move toward shoring up their shaky rotation, acquiring Santana from the Los Angeles Angels for minor league reliever Brandon Sisk.
Santana was an All-Star in 2008 and threw a no-hitter in 2011, but struggled with the long ball this year. He allowed a major league-worst 39 homers and went 9-13 with a 5.16 ERA although he showed improvement down the stretch.
"We were able to scout Ervin during the entire year, specifically the second half," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. "His August and September were really good. From a statistical standpoint, he was very good."
CBSSports.com's C. Trent Rosecrans notes that Royals starters were 47-69 with a 5.01 ERA last season, the fifth-worst ERA from starters in baseball. Only two teams -- the Twins and Rockies -- got fewer innings from their starters than the Royals' 880.
As part of the deal, the Angels sent $1 million to Kansas City. Los Angeles had exercised its $13 million option on Santana's contract for next season before trading him to the Royals.
The Royals declined their $8 million option on closer Joakim Soria after he had elbow ligament-replacement surgery and missed last season. Soria will receive a $750,000 buyout.
Even though Soria, a two-time All-Star with 160 saves over five seasons, is a free agent, both sides have expressed interest in working out a new contract.
David Wright ($16 million) and R.A. Dickey ($5 million) had their contract options picked up by the New York Mets. General manager Sandy Alderson has said signing the two All-Stars to long-term deals is his top priority this offseason.
Tampa Bay exercised options on pitcher James Shields ($9.5 million), closer Fernando Rodney ($2.5 million) and catcher Jose Molina ($1.5 million). The Rays declined a $6 million option on designated hitter Luke Scott, instead paying him a $1 million buyout.
Ludwick and Cincinnati Reds teammate Ryan Madson became free agents when they declined mutual contract options.
The 34-year-old Ludwick turned down $5 million and received a $500,000 buyout. He batted .275 with 26 home runs and 80 RBIs for the NL Central champions before going 6 for 18 (.333) with three homers and four RBIs in the division series loss to World Series champion San Francisco.
Cincinnati signed Ludwick to a one-year deal for 2012 that included a $2 million base salary, and the outfielder earned an additional $350,000 in performance bonuses based on plate appearances. Although the Reds are interested in keeping him, Ludwick decided to see what kind of deal he can get on the open market.
Madson needed reconstructive elbow surgery after tearing a ligament during spring training and missed the entire season. Aroldis Chapman moved into the role and saved 38 games in 43 chances.
Madson had a $6 million salary this year, of which $2 million was deferred until Thursday and another $2 million until Nov. 1, 2013. He agreed to that deal in January after a $44 million, four-year deal to stay with the Philadelphia Phillies collapsed last November.
Madson would have made $11 million next year under the mutual option. Instead, he got a $2.5 million buyout. The Reds weren't going to exercise the 2013 option. They've expressed an interest in signing him to a less-expensive deal and giving him a chance to continue his recovery.
The wild-card Baltimore Orioles exercised their $1 million option on reliever Luis Ayala but declined an $11 million option on first baseman Mark Reynolds, who gets a $500,000 buyout and is eligible for salary arbitration.
The Cleveland Indians picked up their $5.75 million option on pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez. Also, the team declined its options on designated hitter Travis Hafner ($13 million) and starting pitcher Roberto Hernandez ($6 million), formerly known as Fausto Carmona.
The Pirates picked up their option on third baseman Pedro Alvarez ($700,000) and parted ways with catcher Rod Barajas, who had a $3.5 million option. Pittsburgh also released reliever Hisanori Takahashi.
The Toronto Blue Jays exercised their $3 million option on left-handed reliever Darren Oliver and signed outfielder Rajai Davis to a one-year, $2.5 million contract after declining the option on his previous deal.

joep4 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 167 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
I need a logo for a Manufactured Home Community located in suburban Licking County, Ohio. I am expanding and upgrading the look and professionalism of the community. There are 103 home sites with plenty of "green-space" in the community. It is a quiet country setting, with trees and a stream. The community is located between a small golf course and a corn field. While we are in a quiet setting we are close to all shopping and services you can imagine.
Villa Vista Manufactured Home community
I want a logo for web-site, letterheads and signage. It should include the name: Villa Vista Manufactured Home Community as well as the subtitle "Quiet Country Living". The logo should be representative of a nice, tranquil community in the country. I'm thinking black lettering with maybe some design showing "country living" theme such as a tree or trees and a stream??? Use your imagination. I'm not looking for anything too elaborate. Simple, professional, fresh.
- Item 1... "Villa Vista" lettering should be dominant and the "Manufactured Home Community" portion can be smaller and/or different font.
- Item 2...A design which would represent "quiet country living"....maybe trees, stream, nature, bird, etc.
- item 3 ... the subtitle "Quiet Country Living"
- Item 1...

VintageModern Design Challenge Amy's Western Bag
Added Mar 13, 2012
by awcdancer
Marseilles, Illi...
Like my other project, Amy's Bag, this Western Bag began with The Metropolitan IJ758. I'm a cowgirl at heart, with a great collection of barkcloth, so I thought it would be fun to make this Western piece into a fun, kitschy handbag.
I made a few changes to the pattern, and changed the construction. The top band and purse body are combined into a single piece. When the pleats are sewn, it forms a "paper bag" style shape with a flared top.I widened and lengthened the handles. I attached them at wider points than the original pattern shows. They are sewn on to the bag at 2 points each, creating "belt loops" for my old Western belt. The handles and top edge binding are made from a faux tooled leather.
Instead of the flat bottom and wide corners of the original style, I boxed the corners to create a 2 inch reinforced bottom.
The purse is lined with chamois colored denim. I accented the top inside with bands of orange cotton (besides bringing out the orange in the print, it's an ode to the color of the year!) I included zippered pocket and a divided patch pocket (I love pockets in my purses!). The purse closes with a magnetic snap.

forever and always
This darling chalkboard image is from Elle's Studio. Their new release at CHA was so cute and so useable. While this is more than likely technically for scrapbooking, these journaling cards are fantastic for card making! What a cute focal point and sentiment all in one!! Think about using all these cute new project life style products for your cards!
The chevron background was stamped using Technique Tuesday's Chevrons Two Step. The same ink used to stamp was also applied to the wood heart.
And the finishing touch is the sequins. I have a thing for them. Shiny, matte, on trim, alone. They are super fun and a great alternative to pearls or gems.
thanks for stopping by!
