Rethinking Farming
July 02, 2013
July 02, 2013
In the backyard of a rented house in East Austin, two young Southwestern University graduates are starting what they hope will help revolutionize the way food is grown in this country.
Michael Hanan and Lloyd Minick are the founders of Ten Acre Organics – a business they hope will become the most sustainable 10-acre farm in the world.
The two are pioneering a new method of food production known as aquaponics, in which fish and vegetables are grown together. Waste from the fish is used to fertilize plants, while the plants and bacteria in the growbeds filter the water for the fish.
"Aquaponics has a ton of promise for central Texas because it is the most water-efficient way to grow crops," Hanan said.
For now, the two are perfecting their aquaponics skills in the backyard of the house they share. A large tank of Tilapia is fertilizing basil that is sold to restaurants in Austin. Already, the small backyard is generating 40 pounds of basil a week.
"We pick the basil in the morning and the restaurants have it by that evening," Hanan said. "The Tilapia will eventually be sold as well."
In addition to the aquaponics operation, Hanan and Minick have turned every inch of their yard into land that produces something. The front yard has cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, beans and Swiss chard, and the backyard has a small garden with okra and sweet potatoes, as well as a chicken coop and beehives. Some logs in a shaded area along the side fence will soon be sprouting shitake mushrooms. Even the living room is used to get the basil plants started.
Hanan and Minick recently started their own Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA), which provides participants with a four-pound bag of vegetables and herbs each week in exchange for a fixed price.
Hanan graduated from Southwestern in 2010 with a degree in political science and a minor in philosophy. Minick graduated in 2008 with a degree in psychology and a minor in music, and recently completed a master's degree in psychology from John F. Kennedy University in the San Francisco area.
So why did a political science major and a psychology major decide to start an organic farm?
Hanan said the two originally met through their fraternity, Kappa Sigma. Although each went his own way after graduation (Hanan to Austin and Minick to Hawaii), the two kept in touch. Another thing both had in common was that they were passionate about sustainability.
"As the years went on, the conversations got more serious and we decided we wanted to start a sustainable agriculture company," Hanan said.
For now, the two are still working other jobs while they try to get their business off the ground. Hanan serves as chief operations officer and chief marketing officer, while Minick serves as chief executive officer. Several other Southwestern alumni are helping them with various aspects of the startup, including Hanan's wife, Marie Franki, a 2009 Southwestern graduate who works for a business incubator in Austin.
Hanan and Minick credit their liberal arts education for the vision to start the company and the skills to get it off the ground.
"There is something really unique about a liberal arts education," Hanan said. "It allows people to think about problems at a higher level. We've been uniquely positioned to run our business because of our studies at Southwestern."
Minick said Southwestern taught him how to become a jack of all trades – a skill that is necessary because in the past two years, he has had to learn about videography, business, biology, botany, marine biology, soil biology, 3D imaging software and marketing.
"Southwestern gave me the confidence I can learn new things," he said.
Minick had a mentor in graduate school who helped him develop a business plan for their company and the two raised $16,000 in 60 days last fall through a Kickstarter campaign to help them get started. Their goal is to find a larger plot of land a develop a model aquaponics farm that others can replicate and franchise.
"We want to get these farms to as many cities as possible," Minick said. The two recently received a $2,500 Community Transformation Grant from the city of Austin that will enable them to put on a series of free workshops for the public.
Hanan and Minick are not the only Southwestern alumni who have ventured into the field of sustainable agriculture. Alex McPhail, a 2007 graduate who was in the Kappa Sigma fraternity with Hanan and Minick, and 2008 graduate Casey McAuliffe have started Moon Dog Farms on a patch of family land in Santa Fe, Texas, which is between Houston and Galveston. The farm is named after their 14-year-old dog, Saxton.
Moon Dog Farms specializes in organically grown vegetables, fruit, mushrooms and flowers. McPhail and McAuliffe grow produce for popular local eateries such as Brennan's in Houston, and sell their produce at the weekly farmers market in Galveston.
"The local food market is really taking hold here and it's wonderful to be a part of that," McPhail said in a recent interview with CultureMap Houston.
McAuliffe majored in anthropology and theatre at Southwestern, with a minor in Spanish. McPhail was a communication studies major with an English minor, and McAuliffe says he "never would have guessed back then that he would be sweat-soaked in a field of watermelons a few years later."
McPhail's original goal was to work in the film industry, and he started working for the Austin Film Festival while he was still at Southwestern. After a while, McPhail said his job "left him feeling more exhausted than fulfilled," so the couple took off on a trip around the United States. They made their way up the East Coast to an organic farm in upstate New York and then went to North Carolina, where McPhail earned a degree in sustainable agriculture from Central Carolina Community College while working at a farm near Chapel Hill.
"I think Southwestern's environment was key in allowing Alex and I to feel comfortable taking off and traveling around for several years with no real purpose but to explore," McAuliffe said. "Doing that was how we learned to farm, and gave us the idea that 'Hey, we like this. In fact, we really like this. I think we could do this.' Also, it didn't hurt that Southwestern taught us how to do our homework and research. You could read about building up soil fertility for years and never stop, so it feels like a good skill to have honed."
McAuliffe puts her writing skills to good use by writing a blog about life on their farm. A recent blog entry talked about how they had hosted a group of teen campers enrolled in the Sea Camp sponsored by Texas A&M University at Galveston.
Marisa Miller, a 2003 graduate who also majored in anthropology, is starting a farm called Lost Barn Farm on land her family owns in Putney, Vermont. Miller and her parents grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, which they sell at farmers markets, to local restaurants and co-ops, and through their own CSA.
Miller has been farming ever since she graduated from Southwestern. She spent two seasons on another farm in Putney, a season on a farm near Burlington, Vt., and then five years on a family farm in Tacoma, Wash. She also spent a few winter months "WWOOFing" (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) in Italy and France in 2007 and 2008.
Miller said she moved back to Vermont in 2010 because her father had retired and was interested in starting a farm on the land where she grew up. The name of their farm comes from the fact that many barns in Vermont – including their own – fell under the record-setting snows of 2010. Her father has since rebuilt much of their barn.
Miller writes a blog about life on the farm and has an extensive online library of recipes that use ingredients from her farm.
Emily Calhoun, who graduated from Southwestern in 2007 with a degree in international studies, is running a floral farm in Mesilla Park, New Mexico, called Floriography. Calhoun said she started the farm so that people in El Paso and southern New Mexico could get good quality flowers that are grown closer to home.
"I always thought it was curious that this valley can grow so many things but we were still importing flowers from South America," said Calhoun, whose family has been farming in the Mesilla Valley for four generations.
By growing and selling flowers locally, Calhoun can eliminate many of the extra costs associated with the floral industry. A shorter distance between producer and consumer also means that fewer resources are used to get the flowers to market.
Calhoun launched her business on Mother's Day in 2012 and says it has been well received in the community. "We have been particularly embraced by the local farmer's market scene since we are the only flower farm within 350 miles," she said.
Calhoun received help launching her business from the Entrepreneurship Ventures Program sponsored by the Arrowhead Center at New Mexico State University. The program connects entrepreneurs with statewide resources that will help them successfully launch their business.
Hanan and Minick said they are not surprised to see that so many other young Southwestern graduates are involved with sustainable agriculture.
"We were getting our education at a time when the revolution in agriculture was hitting a threshold," Minick said. "We are the first generation to see the need for this. One of the most important challenges our generation faces is redesigning the way we grow food and sustain ourselves on the planet."
McPhail and McAuliff are quick to agree.
"Southwestern taught both of us how much bigger the world is than you and your little orbit, and how any big ideas of change that you hopefully and inevitably form in college boil down to the small choices you make and what you choose to do with your life," McAuliffe said. "We believe the farm we have now is a small choice that means something bigger. Plus, we get first pick of the watermelons."

By visiting Tehran, is United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon simply doing his job as the chief representative of the international community – or is he allowing himself to be used by one of the world's most punished and problematic regimes?
Mr. Ban's arrival in Tehran Wednesday for the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit and meetings with Iranian officials has spawned sharp criticism of the UN chief that he is playing into a pariah regime's drive for legitimacy.
But before he arrived, his spokesman Martin Nesirky called Ban's visit an "opportunity," saying he would not be shy about addressing "the clear concerns and expectations of the international community," and the UN chief wasted little time Wednesday in raising the issues of the violence in Syria and human rights abuses in Iran.
But that is unlikely to satisfy critics such as the US, Israel, Canada, and some other Western countries who see the UN chief's visit to Iran as suggesting international acceptance of the government's behavior at a crucial moment when it is accused of provoking the world with its nuclear program, its threats against Israel, and its role in the Syrian conflict.
Other critics say Ban's visit suggests that a world where democracy and human rights are expanding elsewhere – particularly in the Middle East – is forgetting how the Iranian government crushed its own pro-democracy revolution in 2009 and is becoming more repressive of the very universal rights the UN claims to defend.
A Ban visit to Tehran "would not send a good signal," State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said last week.
"We believe your attendance at the [Tehran] summit will only serve to legitimize a regime that is the world's greatest state sponsor of terrorism and that is pursuing an illicit nuclear weapons program in contravention of numerous UN Security Council resolutions, and whose leader just this month has called for the annihilation of the State of Israel, the latest in a series of similar statements," two US senators – Kirsten Gillibrand (D) of New York and Mark Kirk (R) of Illinois – said in a letter to Ban Tuesday.
But Ban decided to go to Tehran, both to convey to Iran, which is a UN member, the international community's concerns about its behavior on the world stage, and to demonstrate to the NAM, the largest grouping of countries after the UN with 120 members, that he works with all UN members and doesn't answer to any one group.
The NAM summit, which will draw leaders including Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, and Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, runs Thursday and Friday.
Ban's aides insist he is not being hoodwinked by Tehran and sees the visit as an opportunity to address some of the most pressing threats to international peace and stability.
UN spokesman Farhan Haq said Tuesday that Ban will cite international concerns about Iran's nuclear program, its involvement in terrorism and the Syrian conflict, and the critical state of human rights in Iran in his discussions with Iranian officials.
And on Wednesday Ban followed through at a press conference with the speaker of Iran's Parliament, Ali Larijani, saying the two had discussed how the UN could work with the Iranian government "to improve the human rights situation in Iran. We have our serious concerns on the human rights abuses and violations in this country."
Ban also met with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad shortly after arriving in Tehran and was expected to meet later with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The UN chief told his interlocutors that Iran should use its influence in Syria to help stop the violence.
Earlier, his spokesman, Mr. Nesirky, told reporters that his boss is "fully aware of the sensitivities" surrounding his visit, but he added that the UN chief sees it as his responsibility "to pursue diplomatic engagement with all [UN] member states in the interest of peacefully addressing vital matters of peace and security."
There was little doubt, however, that Iran hoped to use both Ban's visit and the NAM summit to show the world – and the Iranian people – that Western efforts to isolate it have failed.
Trying to position itself as a peacemaker, Iran said on Tuesday that it would use the NAM summit to promote the idea of a cease-fire in Syria, to be followed by talks between the warring parties. Iran's oil minister, Rostam Qasemi, said Wednesday that Iran was using the large gathering of officials from NAM countries to negotiate oil contracts. The US is slapping sanctions not just on Iranian petroleum and financial institutions, but on countries that buy Iranian oil products. Earlier this summer the European Union implemented an embargo on Iranian oil imports.
What worries international human rights organizations is that the Iranian government will use the appearance of international acceptance of the regime to signal Iran's human rights promoters that the world is on the government's side.
Perhaps the loudest warnings about Iran's goals in hosting the NAM summit – and the sharpest criticism of Ban for attending – came from Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it would be a "big mistake" for Ban to visit Tehran, especially given that Iranian officials continue to threaten Israel, a UN member.
Iranian officials counter that it is Israel that is threatening Iran with military attack over a nuclear program it insists has only peaceful purposes.
In any case, at least one country attending the NAM summit says it will not sit idly by if Iran uses the gathering to attack Israel. Australia says it has ordered its diplomats to walk out of the meeting on the first sign of Iran using its global stage to threaten Israel.


text: First steps into the world of Nim 02 May 2016 david Code I was recently doing a bit of reading up on the Rust programming language, but a stray comment somewhere about the Nim programming language sent me off on a bit of a tangent. The thing that really got me interested in Nim was that it compiles to C, and I noticed that this brings quite some options for portability. One of the reasons why I like programming in C is that you can run the code on all kinds of machines, from tiny embedded devices to supercomputers. But that does come at a cost, because it takes longer and you often have lots more typing to do because of all that boilerpate stuff. But it looks like Nim would allow you to be quite productive, whilst the resulting executables should still be efficient and fast. To get some ideas, I went off to Rosetta Code and found the Nim code for a simple webserver which looks like this: import asynchttpserver, asyncdispatch proc cb(req: Request) {.async.} = await req.respond(Http200, "Hello, World!") asyncCheck newAsyncHttpServer().serve(Port(8080), cb) runForever() Being able to create a webserver with just a few lines of code, and with the potential for the code to be portable and run on all kinds of devices seemed very tempting! By this point, I'd forgotten about Rust and wanted to explore Nim a bit further. So whilst Nim has not reached v1.0 yet, it certainly looked very compelling. The compiler documentation made it look like cross-compilation was not that difficult, so I decided to try and cross-compile some code for a router running OpenWrt. Before going off and spendng a lot of time learning a new language, I wanted to see that I *really* can write portable code. I was very happy to see that in just a few minutes I had the example webserver code running on my TP-Link WR740N, as shown here: To my amazement and joy, this really wasn't that hard. After installing Nim, I had to edit Nim/config/nim.cfg to point to my cross-compile toolchain, so I ended up with these lines: mips.linux.gcc.exe = "/home/openwrt/openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin/mips-openwrt-linux-gcc"mips.linux.gcc.linkerexe = "/home/openwrt/openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin/mips-openwrt-linux-gcc" Then, after doing that I simply needed to pass the correct parameters to the Nim compiler, like this: nim c --cpu:mips --os:linux webserver.nim Which cross-compiled the example webserver ready for it to run on my TP-Link WR740N. That actually seems pretty awesome. I think that I need to learn more, perhaps I'll even go and buy the Nim in Action book. All this stuff worked perfectly without any trouble, which is pretty rare, so I am left feeling very impressed so far.

COLUMBIA, Mo., July 1 (UPI) -- Baseball fans who revere the Negro Leagues of the 1920s, 30s and 40s placed a $700 headstone at the unmarked grave of "Big Bill" Gatewood in Missouri.
In a brief ceremony Tuesday at Memorial Park Cemetery in Columbia, a Chicago doctor, a customer service representative for a St. Louis insurance firm and a Negro Leagues historian from Kansas City, Mo., gently lowered a 150-pound gravestone on the unmarked plot where Gatewood was buried after his death in 1962 at age 81.
Gatewood, a giant of a man at 6-feet-7 and 240 pounds, won 117 games for more than a dozen Negro Leagues teams from 1906 to 1928, pitching recorded no-hitters in 1921 and again in 1925, when he was 45 years old, The New York Times said.
In an era of harsh racial injustice long before Jackie Robinson integrated the Major Leagues, Gatewood was a successful Negro Leagues manager, mentor of legendary outfielder James "Cool Papa" Bell and coach of star pitcher Satchel Paige. Many former Negro Leagues players ended their playing days destitute and died in obscurity.
Gatewood was the 19th player honored with a headstone by the 7-year-old Negro Leagues Grave Marker Project.

A 552 credit score isn't the worst score you can have, but it still ranks as "Poor" on the 350-850 credit scoring scale. With this score, a secured credit card is within your reach, but loan options are limited — and the cost of financing will be high.
Find out the possible causes of a 552 credit score, and what's available to you. The good news is that the "Fair" range begins at 560.
What Behaviors Cause a 552 Credit Score?
The two biggest influences on your consumer credit score are your payment history and your outstanding debt.
A 552 credit score could be the result of various factors, such as having your accounts marked late — 30 days or more past due — or utilizing too much of your available credit. Experts advise keeping credit utilization on each of your accounts, and as a whole, at no more than 30 percent.
Other factors that can cause your credit score to plummet into the "Poor" range are the impact of a bankruptcy or a foreclosure on your home.
Credit Cards or Loans Available With a 552 Credit Score
Secured and unsecured credit cards, retail store cards and auto loans are all within your reach if you have a 552 credit score. Secured cards will likely have a lower interest rate than unsecured cards, but secured cards require you to make a deposit.
Some creditors and lenders will be willing to offer you better rates than others, so shop around for the best rates. If you choose to wait to apply for new credit until you improve your credit score, however, you can score better rates.
Your "Poor" 552 Score vs. a "Fair" Credit Score.
When you have a 552 credit score, you're fast approaching the "Fair" credit-scoring tier. Here are some factors that can make a difference between your score and the next level:
1. Time
Late payments and other delinquencies impact your credit report for seven years. Public record items also affect your credit for seven years, and some types of bankruptcy might have a longer effect of 10 years.
2. Timely bill pay
Payment history counts for 40 percent of your overall credit score, so it's critical to pay your bills on time each month. Each late payment you make stays on your credit report for seven years.
3. Too much debt
Plenty of strategies exist to help you pay off debt. Here's a couple to consider:
- Debt snowball: Focus on paying off your smallest debt by paying more the minimum payment due. (You'll still pay the minimum due on all of your other obligations.) Once you've paid off your smallest debt, repeat the process with the next smallest debt.
- Debt avalanche: Focus on paying off your debt carrying the highest interest rate by paying extra toward it while paying the minimum due on all other accounts. Once you've paid off the highest-interest debt, repeat with the next highest-interest debt.
4. Create Credit Records
A couple of good options can work for people with your score: a secured credit card or a credit-builder loan.
With a secured credit card, you make a deposit. Your deposit serves as your credit line and a form of insurance for the creditor in case you default. As you charge and make payments, the creditor reports your activity to the credit bureaus.
Another option is a credit-builder loan from a credit union. Instead of issuing the loan funds up front, however, the credit union places them in an interest-bearing account while you make payments.
Once you've made all of the payments, you'll receive the loan amount plus any interest the funds earned. The upside is that while you're making payments, the credit union will report your positive payment history to the credit bureaus.
5. Use credit conservatively
A higher credit utilization limit can equal a lower score, so never use more than 30 percent of your credit cards' limits. For example, if your card has a $1,000 credit line, never carry a balance that exceeds more than $300 or 30 percent of the limit.
Keeping Tabs on Your Credit
Improving credit isn't just a set-it-and-forget-it effort. Instead, for best results, you should consider regularly monitoring your credit reports and scores.
Periodically looking over your credit report can alert you to any errors or changes in your credit, whereas monitoring your credit score can give you the self-satisfaction of knowing where you stand.
Do you monitor your credit reports and scores on the regular? If not, don't you think it's time to start?

Swollen legs
Hello, I am 59 and have had Parkinsonâs disease officially for 5 years since 2004. I have Hemi Parkinsonism mostly on my left side, though my right side also tremors. My main PD issues are my tremors, though I have very limited use of my left foot. I take many medications for that and other health issues.
My question is I have pitting edema worse in my left leg, but some in my right. I am going to see a vein specialist in March to see if there could be varicose veins in my calf that is slowing the blood flow and thus causing my ankles to look bruised. Is this the place to start?
My main neurologist is 800 miles away. I keep in contact via email. I am in a very small rural area and have to travel 4 hours to find a specialist. I donât want to make this trip in March if there could be no relation of veins to cause the edema.
Propping my legs up doesnât seem to work. I am taking Lasix and have not come down in weight because of it. I feel I am still retaining fluid. Iâve gained 15 pounds within the last 6 months, I just feel bloated. Any information or help you may be would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
While the causes of leg swelling are numerous, it can be caused by poor vascular flow or heart disease, as well as blood clots. All of these are concerning causes and should be ruled out before assuming this is due to PD. Therefore, it is very important to see a primary care doctor, with potential referral to a vascular specialist or cardiologist.
However, it is true that PD itself may cause swelling of the legs as may some of the medications (agonists, amantadine). Regardless of the cause, the tendency for leg swelling is increased in PD from the muscle rigidity and reduction in overall movements that results in reduced pumping of fluid back into the body's circulatory system.
Treatments commonly include:
- leg exercises such as ankle pumps,
- compression stockings,
- keeping the legs elevated when seated and
- increasing activity in general.
Medication treatment with a diuretic may also help. If the swelling persists and is uncomfortable and is not found to be from another cause, a reduction or discontinuation of the dopamine agonist or amantadine may be necessary. It is important not to stop any medication suddenly; weaning schedules should be laid out by your neurologist.

Mitt Romney's fight to become America's next president has the backing of one enthusiastic group of supporters, although they don't actually have a vote: his relatives in England.
Few associate the Republican candidate with Britain but it was in England's industrial northwest that his ancestors lived for generations and converted to Mormonism before leaving for the United States in 1841 in search of the promised land.
It was a bold escape for a family of lowly carpenters. By sailing for the New World they took a step that eventually brought the Romney clan to the fore of American politics.
But some of them stayed and their descendants still live along Britain's rainy western coast - a world away from the intrigue and glamour of Washington.
One is a 69-year-old English widow who discovered just a few weeks ago that she is a distant cousin of the former governor of Massachusetts.
"It's all come out of the blue," Jennie Iveson told Reuters in her modest home in Barrow-in-Furness, a shipyard town once at the heart of Britain's industrial revolution. "It's a surprise really. Quite a surprise. Big surprise."
Iveson's link to Romney came to light when her inquisitive grandson-in-law began tracing back their family history by delving into archives in their home county of Lancashire.
Records show that Iveson is Mitt Romney's fourth cousin — they share a great-great-great grandfather, George Romney, who died in 1859. And now she can't help but notice that her distant American relative does bear a striking family resemblance.
"I saw him on the telly twice the other day, last week I think. He looks a bit like my brother," said Iveson, a retired factory worker, most of whose children have no jobs.
"(My brother) looks quite like him. He had dark hair like him. It's all grey now. He (Romney) looks like our Mike. Same sort of face and everything."
She offers a shrug and a smile when asked about Romney's wealth and privileged status in the United States, where he is sometimes accused by critics of being out of touch with poor people. "I wish him luck and everything else," she said.
Romney is one of the wealthiest Americans ever to run for the White House. He has estimated his fortune at between $190 million and $250 million.
But for Romney, his faith and English roots remain a sensitive issue, partly because his Mormon religion is still regarded with suspicion by some American voters.
When he came to Britain in July this year, Romney did not visit the area where his family have their roots - unusual since emphasizing a European heritage is often seen as an electoral plus in U.S. politics.
Barack Obama, who faces Romney in the November 6 presidential election, went down well last year when he toured an Irish village where one of his forebears once lived.
Romney's campaign spokeswoman made no comment when asked how the Republican challenger felt about his English origins.
In Lancashire, the county the candidate's ancestors left behind, Romney enthusiasts offered their own explanation.
"He is Mormon and this is Mormon central," said Christopher Nelson, a local vicar with an interest in Romney's heritage. "Perhaps he would perceive (coming here) as highlighting his Mormonism more than highlighting his roots."
His known relatives in England are genealogically so far removed that many of them were not even aware of the link until recently when the U.S. election campaign began to gather pace.
Amateur genealogist Simon Nash was astonished to discover while digging into regional records that his wife Maria was Mitt Romney's fourth cousin twice removed.
Poring over archival material and photos on his laptop in his home in the industrial city of Preston, Nash said it was a matter of tracing people back to a common ancestor - a fairly easy task since most records are available publicly in Britain.
The quest has certainly made Nash, whose day job involves dressing in a duck outfit and posing as a mascot for a local football team, more interested in U.S. politics.
"If he got in, America would be a completely different place in three years time to what it is now," he said. "I don't know if it will be for the better."
Nash's wife Maria, 32, was equally astounded by his researches.
"I was very much shocked ... It still feels like ... it's not quite happening to (me)," said Maria, who is Jennie Iveson's granddaughter. "It's quite an unreal feeling."
Would she like to meet Romney in the White House? "I think it would be very surreal," she said with a shy giggle. "I would like to go there for a brew (cup of tea) if he ever got in there."
The village of Dalton-in-Furness, a picturesque scattering of mediaeval cottages, is where the Romney clan began. Its men are still remembered there as hard-working carpenters.
One of them was William Romney, who gained notoriety for making his own coffin and putting it on display in his workshop before he died in 1915.
"I get the impression that quite a few Romneys were carpenters. It seems to be a family trait," Jim Walton, a Dalton historian, said outside a canary-yellow cottage where William Romney used to live and work.
"Should Mitt Romney succeed and become the next president of the United States, he would be able to look around in pride and say: 'My great great granddad came from Dalton-in-Furness'. Well, I hope he can say that in pride."
Dalton has plenty of Romney-related history. Its most famous son was George Romney, who went to London and became one of the most celebrated portrait painters of the 18th century.
Two streets and a park are named after the artist, who is said to have had a secret affair with the mistress of Lord Nelson, the naval hero who defeated the French at Trafalgar.
George was buried in the churchyard of St Mary's parish church - where Mitt Romney's great-great grandparents, Elizabeth and Miles, were baptized and married before converting to the Mormon faith in 1837 and moving to the United States.
Their daughter Sarah's baptism record from the year before is still in the archives in Preston, with her father's vocation - joiner - scribbled in an old parish book.
"It's a fascinating story that Dalton holds," said Rev. Alan Mitchell, gazing over the town's skyline from the top of a church tower - a view that has changed little since Romneys lived here. Pointing at a couple of old communion cups, he added: "The Romneys could have touched these."
At the time, Lancashire was a tough, polluted and chaotic place to live, and disease and drunkenness were rife. Mormon promises of a better and more orderly life fell on fertile ground.
"It was a grimy, mucky hell on earth," said Nelson, the vicar. "Why on earth you would want to stay here, if somebody tells you there is milk and honey elsewhere? It was a horrible place."
Early Mormon missionaries offered not only salvation but a free ticket to the United States.
They also gave Miles Romney a position of authority aboard a ship called the Sheffield, making the arrangement all the more attractive for a young and ambitious man with a large family.
But many other Romneys never converted and stayed behind in England, and the relatives who live here today know little about Mormonism.
In his autobiography, Mitt Romney said the family left England for New Orleans and travelled by steamer up the Mississippi to Nauvoo, Illinois, where they joined other Mormons. Later they followed Mormons in a trek across the plains to Utah. "Romneys are, by nature, an adventurous breed," he wrote.
The Mormon fascination with the souls of their ancestors means they have one of the world's biggest family history archives. The Mormon temple near Preston still contains records detailing the lives of British Romneys.
One document, describing the state of Miles Romney's family after emigration, listed his job as a joiner and said: "In 1850 Miles had a household of ten, and a real wealth of £200."
The area is still very much the heartland of British Mormonism. The Ribble, a local river, is known as the River Jordan of European Mormonism. This is where England's early Mormons were baptized.
A memorial near its muddy bank commemorates those early conversions. Europe's biggest Mormon temple is nearby, its spire towering high above the misty, rain-washed hills. Neatly dressed missionaries in dark suits and ties are frequent visitors.
"The missionaries that we see coming from America will have roots that originated here in England," said Bishop Michael Turner, leader of a local Mormon congregation. "It's an exciting time ... to have a candidate who is a member of the church."
But for some, Romney is an unpopular figure, particularly after he suggested during his visit this year that Britain was not ready to host the Olympic Games.
"I think Mitt Romney is rather careless in his choice of words sometimes," said Walton, the Dalton historian. "But there you are. Can't have everything, can you?"

Adding the flagship aircraft on this important route reaffirms Etihad Airways' and the UAE's commitment to the French market and celebrates the deep cultural and business ties which exist between our two countries."

THQ has announced that its in-house UK developer, Juice Games, is hard at work on Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights. As the name suggests, Juiced has picked up the Hot Import Nights U.S. custom car show license, so expect to see tons of tricked out rides, traveling at the usual breakneck speeds.
Juiced 2 is expected to make its way onto the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, PSP, Nintendo DS, and -- last but not least -- PC this fall. THQ says the title, "allows players to test their skills at live street racing events against a back-drop of DJs, fashion, models and musicians." New features in the game include Driver DNA, which essentially maps your preferences and driving style onto a profile, which will be available for download online, helping you get the leg up on the competition. THQ also said that it plans to offer celebrity profiles, likely to endorse events like Xbox Live's "Game with Fame." Other additions come in the form of drift and powerslide races.
"Juiced 2: HIN introduces a thrilling new drifting component and lets players personalize their experience both on and offline with ultra realistic Driver DNA," said Colin Bell, general manager, Juice Games. "In addition to a ton of exciting new features, we've significantly expanded the rewarding driving experience, track choice and customization our fans have come to expect."
It sounds a bit like THQ is trying to steal some of the thunder from EA's Need for Speed series, which continually flies off of store shelves. Time will tell if they'll succeed.

Sports, often regarded as the games kids play, can be cruel. In a world of what-have-you-done-lately, athletes are often judged by their latest effort. And a performance by an athlete in the twilight of his career will impact how he's remembered.
If one wants to remember Olympic champion Shawn Crawford by his latest venture, then so be it.
Crawford, a Van Wyck native and former Indian Land star athlete, came in seventh in an eight-man race in the 200-meter finals for a spot on the U.S. track and field team at the 2012 Summer Games in London.

Shanks (the lower part of the leg) have a lot of sinew and connective tissue so there really isn't a lot you can do to make them tender or tasty. So they usually get ground up into burger. Nothing braises quite like a shank, whether it be lamb, beef, veal or, in this case, venison, but if you are short on actual prep time, a marinade makes a good alternative. For the hunters out there, we all know that we really shouldn't't waste the shanks of the deer, elk or antelope we shoot and with the right prep you can get a tasty supper. Prep is the key. Muscles that get a lot of work, though tough as all get out, are full of flavor.
A proper marinade is easy, and will help to break down the connection tissue into a silky coating that will tenderize and sweeten the meat. Add in a little spice and some savory bacon. . . .
I made this a weekend or two ago, and it was a hit.
Bacon Wrapped Venison Shanks
2 lbs venison shank per person. For each add:
3 cups dark brown sugar
2 cups soy sauce
Wrap the shank in uncooked Bacon. You may use more than 1/2 a pound, just make sure the shank is covered, securing it as needed with a toothpick or two.
Place on center rack in oven and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. This should cook the meat to about rare. If you want it more cooked, even with the searing step that follows, add 5-10 minutes. This is a naturally tough piece of meat so leaning towards rare will give you the better cut and taste.

There are three things I vowed never to do in this life: Go bungee-jumping (I still haven't), eat beets (I still don't) and wait outside on cold concrete in the wee hours waiting to buy some fool thing on Black Friday.
Well, two out of three ain't bad.
I broke my own rule about venturing out in the dark just to spend money because my college-freshman daughter desperately needed a new laptop computer after hers got stolen from her dormitory last week.

Back in the day, Ericsson was one of the first names that would pop in anyone's head when they would think of a cell phone. That is a thing with the first timers, and you don't forget them easily. Another thing about them is that they tend to grow if they are in the competition. So did Ericsson! But the phone that you have right now may not be at its very best.

Sometimes referred to as the "poor man's saffron" because of the golden color it imparts, the similarity ends there. Taken internally, turmeric is a friendly healer to the liver and stomach, promoting healthy mucus membranes and skin. Yogis know that it also helps with stiff or creaky joints and arthritis. It is also used as a digestive aid. There is also some evidence that it is even helpful in lowering cholesterol. Turmeric also has a drawing quality, to draw out toxins, dry up secretions, and to heal.
Now, how to get that rather bitter tasting powder into your body?
First of all, cook it. You can either boil it in water for 8-10 minutes to make Turmeric Paste or Golden Milk or sizzle in a little ghee or olive oil for 20-30 seconds. This takes out the bitter taste and also releases the essences of the turmeric into the oil or water. It must be cooked!
You can also get turmeric in capsules at the natural foods store. Usually the capsules contain a greater concentration of curcumin, its active ingredient.
Here are a few yogic remedies:
Sore Throat (especially with mucus/phlegm stuck in throat): Take about ½ teaspoon of thick turmeric paste and form into a ball. Pop it into the back of your throat and swallow with a glass of water. You can do this a few times a day or as often as every hour if desired.
Creaky or Stiff Joints: Take at least 1 cup of Golden Milk every day for 40 days.
Stomach & Digestive Problems: Golden Yogurt, a total of at least 1 cup a day. This is also good for intestinal candidiasis; the yogurt brings in the good bacteria for healthy intestinal flora and, since turmeric is a natural anti-fungal, it helps to counter the yeast overgrowth.
About 15 years ago, during a very stressful time, I developed gastritis. Yogi Bhajan suggested I take a daily concoction of yogurt, banana and 1 Tbsp. of turmeric paste. I found this really quite helpful.
And, you can add turmeric to so many foods. Keep a jar of turmeric paste in the fridge (it keeps for a couple of weeks), and add a spoonful to your breakfast cereal, smoothies, and even spread on toast with a little honey. Also, it's easy to add a spoonful to cooking foods, such as rice, tofu, and vegetable dishes.
Its benefits do not stop yet! Turmeric is used externally as well.
Skin Conditions: The juice of fresh turmeric is prized as a cure/soother for many skin conditions, including eczema, chicken pox, shingles, poison oak/ivy, and scabies. Turmeric paste makes quite a satisfactory substitute! Apply the paste directly to the affected area, cover lightly with gauze or loose cotton clothing (that will likely be ruined with stain). This is known to help dry the blisters up and accelerate the healing process. For shingles, one ayurvedic remedy calls for first spreading a light coating of mustard oil on the shingles rash, and then spreading the turmeric paste over that. (Skin condition such as those described above are seen in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine as originating from liver congestion/toxicity. You can help your rash from the inside out, by also ingesting turmeric. Also, see my September 2000 column, Eating for a Healthy Liver.)
Sores/Wounds: Keep turmeric in your first aid kit! It acts quickly to help stop bleeding, plus because of its anti-bacterial quality, will help prevent infection. For cuts, pile on the turmeric, cover with gauze, and apply pressure to the area to stop the bleeding. Of course, serious wounds require immediate medical attention.
Douche: Made with fresh plain yogurt, turmeric and water, this is especially helpful in countering odor and yeast problems, and is the best douche to use following the menstrual period. Use 8-10 parts water, 1 part yogurt (be sure it has active acidophilus cultures), and 2-3 tsp. turmeric. Blend it up in the blender until smooth.
Turmeric Paste
3 Tbsp. turmeric
3 cups water
Bring turmeric and water to a boil. Let it boil until it forms a thick paste. It must boil at least 8 minutes. If necessary, add more water. Once it starts to thicken slightly, you must stir it constantly to prevent scorching. Store in a glass jar (it will stain a plastic storage container) in the fridge.
Golden Milk
Recipe by Yogi Bhajan
(as it appears in my cookbook, From Vegetables With Love)
1/8 tsp. turmeric
½ cup water
1 cup milk
1-2 Tbsp. almond oil (optional)
honey to taste
Boil water and turmeric in small saucepan over medium-high heat for 8 minutes (the turmeric must be fully cooked). Meanwhile, bring the milk and almond oil to boiling point in a separate pan and remove from heat. Combine the two mixtures and add honey to taste.
Now, what I don't say in the cookbook is that you can easily make more than one serving at a time and keep it in the fridge. Also, I really prefer it with a lot more turmeric. It certainly can't hurt to use more. I suggest using ½ tsp. per cup. And, if you have Turmeric Paste made, you can just heat up the milk and almond oil with a teaspoon of turmeric paste. Try adding a little freshly grated nutmeg, too. Mmmm!

Brett Favre sounded incredulous Tuesday, two days after a devastating tornado swept through Hattiesburg, Miss., the third time in a decade that natural disaster has struck the community where the former NFL quarterback lives.
"Nobody was killed!'' Favre exclaimed to USA TODAY Sports during a phone interview. "Look, everybody here is scratching their heads — 'Can you believe it?' Amazin'. ''
Favre said he and his family are fine but others are not so fortunate.
A series of twisters, which also struck Alabama, caused major damage late Sunday afternoon. Among the hardest-hit areas were Hattiesburg and surrounding communities, including Southern Mississippi University, Favre's alma mater. Favre, 43, was raised about an hour way in Kiln, Miss.
More than 4,000 homes were without power late Monday in Hattiesburg. A dark twister ripped through the city, and its destructive path was captured on video. Favre had just returned home from the university, where his 13-year-old daughter, Breleigh, was practicing volleyball when it hit.
"Where the tornado started, as the crow flies, was probably a half-mile to 1 mile straight east of my property,'' Favre said. "Then it just (veered) and crossed the main highway in Hattiesburg before heading to Southern Miss. You never hear of a college getting hit with a true tornado. The good Lord's looking out (because) the students were gone for Mardis Gras break.
"It's kind of one of those things down here. I don't want to say we overlook it, but there are tornado warnings and bad weather all the time. To say that it was black and windy — that could be any day. At times, you just take it for granted.''
Favre was on his way Tuesday morning to help clear debris surrounding a friend's home, one that "won't be inhabitable for quite awhile,'' he said.
The former Green Bay Packers star quarterback lives in the community of Oak Grove, west of the city. The damaged area includes Oak Grove High, where athletic facilities were wiped out. Favre, who served as an unpaid offensive coordinator for the football team last season, often worked out at school prior to his retirement with the Minnesota Vikings after the 2010 season.
"They're gone now, just a mangled mess,'' he said. "The baseball field is just destroyed. (The community of Oak Grove) was hit the hardest. We have nothing."
Favre said he would donate time and money in an effort to rebuild the facilities, which he said needed upgrading anyway, and planned to meet with community fundraisers in attempt to defray the costs.
"I know there are people out there who would like to help either by donating (money) or their time ... coming down with their chainsaw,'' Favre said. "Any and all (assistance) would be great.''
In 2005, winds from Hurricane Katrina pounded the Hattiesburg area. In 2002, a tornado touched down on Favre's property.
"Our now-13 year-old daughter was sitting on my lap in the house when it hit,'' Favre recalled. "It did unbelievable damage. Everyone asked, 'What did it look like?' I had no idea because I was right in the middle of it. You had to see the destruction. I know what these people are going through. I'm part of the community; we love this area. This time, for whatever reason, we didn't have a limb down.''

Not sure where on the forum to post this idea but here on the hayrides and pumpkin patch list sounds like the best place. Today, I came up with a helpful addition to any bush maze. I figure there will always be people not willing to spend too much time in them because of the difficulty of getting out. But here is an idea for those people who would like to sneak a peak as to where the exit is.
In this drawing I made a guy standing in a path. I imagined him standing deep within a maze getting lost and turned around. To locate of the exit he only needs to walk up the 2 foot slope and have a look.
2013-05-16 11.12.38.jpg
It might seem like that would be too easy but I am not sure how many times someone would climb up to have a look around. But, I think that option should be there.
This hill, or slope idea could be done with corn too.

BENEFITING: Theater Offensive, Inc.
EVENT: 2012 Boston Marathon
EVENT DATE: Apr 16, 2012
The Theater Offensive's mission is to form and present the diverse realities of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender lives in art so bold it breaks through personal isolation and political orthodoxy to help build an honest, progressive community.
Federal Tax ID: 04-3039900
The Theater Offensive: OUT In Your Neighborhood (OUT'hood) programming reflects the diversity of the city of Boston, gives voice to underserved LGBT community members, creates avenues for cross-cultural dialogue and breaks down the barriers of homophobia, bigotry and hate.
At its core, OUT'hood empowers local residents to be agents for social change by embracing the concept of OUTness. OUTness is defined as being honest with yourself about who you are and sharing that openly with other people. While the term 'OUT' is most often associated with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) movement for equal civil rights, the concept of OUTness resonates far beyond the LGBT community – especially in areas with high levels of racism, poverty and violence. Through lively public dialogue, OUT'hood will help empower neighbors to stay true to themselves, as well as create safer, more vibrant neighborhoods. OUT in Your Neighborhood involves three types of programs: 1. Collective Creation; 2. Neighborhood Productions; and 3. Community Events.

The other day I was very happy to find the blog Moments in Time, A Genealogy Blog by Diana Quinn. Of course, I am always thrilled to find blogs with roots in areas where I research, but that covers most of the South, a bit of New England, and, for my husband's family, New York and New Jersey. But to find someone researching in Baylor County, the area where my mother was born and grew up (and which also has a few distant family branches from my father's side) and a county which has never had more than a few thousand residents, is a real treat.
Diana's family research extends well beyond Texas; recent posts connected with Irish research deal with the Irish Uprising.

I've been thinking a lot about trust lately and came to the conclusion that I don't trust my cheating husband. Of course, how could I? He cheated on me. However, my level of mistrust is so low that I don't believe that I will be able to rebuild it. That doesn't mean I am ready to pack up and walk out the door. It means that I am starting to look at things differently.
I had a discussion with cheater that didn't make him very happy. Basically, I said that if he wants to really be with me, he will be with me. If he wants to be with someone else, he can go off and be with someone else. I can't live life in the constant fear that I will be cheated on again. I won't allow myself to trust him again, because that is when feelings get wrapped up in it and you start to feel as though you have to tie him down so he won't run away.
The truth is that no matter what you do, if a husband or boyfriend wants to cheat, he will. These are choices he makes and the repercussions are whatever you make them. You can either stay with him or leave him ... THAT choice is yours and only yours.

It's true!
|This pic is from One Good Thing by Jillee (she did a full test and even has pic of her own before and afters!)
So I read the blog post here. I saw the pictures. They were good. Convincing-good! But I was skeptical. I mean, we're talking about my pit stains. And don't even think I haven't already tried everything to get rid of them. Especially these (brace yourself, it's gross).
I mixed up a little "shot" of this:
Put it on the pits. Rubbed it in real good. I did find that using a brush to scrub the mixture in had considerably better results.
My shirts started like this:
Now the AFTERS!
|now, it's not totally gone but what is left is in the seams.
My husband's looked like this!! I only did one pit so I could see the difference. And it did require two washings. The second time, I used the brush.
After one wash:
After two washes:
|There are only traces of stains left on this one. They are deep in the seams. But the shirt is wearable again.
I am amazed!!! We will be switching to this as my main numero uno stain remover!!! And seriously, it must cost pennies, too. Now, should I do the other pit on my husband's shirt???? Ha- I owe him that I suppose for plastering his pit stains on my blog

One of things I miss most about Beirut definitely has to be the cafe culture..especially now that I'm living in Trinidad – where it doesn't really exist. In Trinidad, it's almost always "leh we go buss a lime" as they say in Trini slang. Which, loosely translated, means "let's go hangout." Thing is though, "lime" or "hangouts" in Trinidad almost always take place in the presence of alcohol. This is not to say that I don't like alcohol (it's quite the opposite actually)..but there is a time and place for everything you know? And sometimes, a cappuccino with a double shot of espresso and a pastry is exactly what the doctor ordered.
When I lived in Beirut, I spent many a Saturday going from cafe, to cafe, to cafe, to cafe in Hamra. From Bread Republic, to Younes, to Prague, to Gruen..and sometimes we would hit the Costas, the Caribous, and the Starbucks as well. I guess it helps that I'm a certified coffee addict and think there are few things better than enjoying a coffee and a chat with the people I care about most.
I was reminded of this last night while I was going through a few of my draft posts, and chanced upon these photos I took at Cafe Younes in Sodeco some 10 months ago. DAMN..10 months ago already? I remember it like it was yesterday. My friend had taken me there after we spent the better part of the morning trying to get my passport back from the emn el 3am (The General Security Office) – to no avail of course. Immigration in Lebanon seems to have a fascination with foreign passports – especially American – and likes to hold on to them for extended periods of time (or maybe that was just my experience? yeah..maybe). That's a story for another time..
Anyway..I guess he could see I was visibly upset..and as most of my friends know, coffee always helps to fix that. 🙂 I remember being so taken by the 'vintage' (is that the right word for it) design pieces they had throughout the cafe..even though it's not nearly as intimate as the Cafe Younes & Cafe Younes Gourmet in Hamra (the one in Sodeco is in the middle of a shopping center after all)..which I also frequented.
..i just remember how that day, it was just what I needed to remind me why I loved living in Beirut..despite all of the trials and tribulations she put me through on a daily basis! A delicious cup of coffee+beautiful design = smile on Dani's face. It was always about the small things with me and my Beirut.
It was only after perusing Cafe Younes' Facebook Page that I learned that the above piece was modeled off of one of their posters from the 1950's.
some more photos..
I dunno…just felt like sharing this for some reason.. 😉 hope you enjoyed!!
A little more about Cafe Younes taken from their website:
Café Younes was established in 1935, in Bab- Edriss, Beirut's Downtown district. It was first founded by Amin Younes who had just returned to Lebanon after spending 40 years in coffee plantations in Brazil. The company was the first roaster and coffee place in Lebanon and it started to import raw coffee from South America and Africa, roast it and sell it as retail and wholesale bulks. Three generations later and after soon-to-be 75 coffee years, Café Younes (now installed in Hamra, Beirut) is still selectively purchasing, professionally roasting and affectingly grinding great coffees.
The history of Café Younes is embodied by Abou Anwar, its roaster, who came to work for the elder Amin 52 years ago at age 16 and is still in charge of all roasting. When the first generation Amin Younes returned from Brazil in the mid-1930s, he set up the first roaster in downtown Beirut. He imported Brazilian beans, as well as the more traditional Yemenis and Ethiopians, roasted them by hand, and brewed up the local style of coffee, which is commonly called Turkish coffee today: coffee ground powder-fine and brewed in a long-handled ibrik pot, sweetened and poured into tiny cups.
When Amin's son Souheil took over the business in 1960, he opened a second location in Hamra and brought back an espresso machine from Italy, installing it on the street so passers-by could see the Italian-style coffee being made. Within days, they were lining up to try it. He bought a 30kg Probat for roasting, which is still going strong today. He imported Kenyan AA and roasted it very dark, even for espresso—innovative for 1960.
In 1996, Amin Younes took the business over from his father, focused on increasing coffee varieties and put a coffee beverage menu into operation. In 2008, he opened Café Younes Gourmet, a modern style coffee house.
