Ovens are overrated. There, I said it. Take this example: Due to some high-level NYC apartment bullshit, I've been sans oven for six months. I haven't died or gone broke eating out. In fact, I've learned that you don't need an oven to eat well. You don't need an oven to host a dinner party. You don't even need an oven to host the Oscars of dinner parties, i.e., Thanksgiving (minus the statues).
With that sentiment in mind, we present this Stovetop Thanksgiving menu. A feast you can make in 24 hours using only your stove, without skimping on flavor.
And the nominees are:
Stuffing Fried Turkey, a Thanksgiving turkey that doesn't act like you need the whole damn bird. Stuffing included! (Get the step-by-step guide)
Hard Cider Gravy, which, get this, you'll use as a dipping sauce for those turkey tenders. (Get the step-by-step guide)
Cranberry-Hazelnut Green Bean Salad, a crunchy, creamy, tart mash-up of your favorite Thanksgiving sides. (Get the step-by-step guide)
Schmaltzy Mashed Potatoes, a super-rich, super-easy version that will leave you with zero leftovers, guaranteed. (Get the step-by-step guide)
Pumpkin Spiced Latte Icebox Cake, which, do I even need to sell you on this? (Get the step-by-step guide)
Spoiler alert: Everyone wins. Here's a quick primer on how to put it all together and get it on the table before anyone even notices that you never turned on your oven.
Wednesday Evening
The first thing to do is make your gravy, start to finish, minus the garnish of chives. You can do this three days ahead if your life is in that kind of order. Just stick it in the back of the fridge and forget about it until 10 minutes before it's time to eat.
Next up: turkey prep. Do you realize that you're going to deep-fry giant turkey tenders? It's going to be so awesome. Cut your turkey breast and sprinkle the pieces with the dry brine, then put it in the fridge to chill. You could go to bed now if you're a morning person, or you could wait a couple hours and bread the turkey, setting it back in the fridge overnight.
Thursday Morning
If you didn't bread the turkey last night, do that, then put it back in the fridge. Otherwise, go straight to this outrageously good icebox cake and follow the recipe through until the step with the brittle at the end. DON'T EAT THE CAKE. Instead, cover loosely with plastic wrap (to protect it from an onslaught of turkey smells), put it in the fridge, and step away.
4 Hours Before Eating
Now's a good time to start the mashed potatoes because those suckers always take longer to peel than you want them to. If you have friends with you in the kitchen, have someone else trim the green beans.
3 Hours Before Eating
Make the mashed potatoes (minus the thyme) and the green bean salad (just don't add the garlic chips).
1.5 Hours Before Eating
Remember that turkey that's smelling up your fridge? Dig it out and let it come to room temperature.
30 Minutes Before Eating
This is where it all comes together. Find your fridge gravy and let it heat in a saucepan on low. Get your fry oil nice and hot, and start deep-frying the turkey in batches.
Meanwhile, get the mashed potatoes back on the stove and gently reheat, adding leftover cream and milk if they seem dry. A pro move is to just put the bowl of mashed potatoes over a saucepan, double-boiler style, and stir while you're frying turkey on the burner next door.
If the gravy seems thick even after it's hot, add some more water or stock.
Just Before Eating
Garnish away: Put the chives on the gravy, the thyme on the mashed potatoes, and the garlic chips on the green bean salad. Taste everything "just to make sure it's seasoned right," then put it all on the table while your guests oooh and aaaah.
While Eating
Try to accept praise humbly with your mouth full.
Like You'd Forget Dessert
Touch up the topping on that icebox cake before sprinkling with chopped brittle. Ignore the naysayers lobbying for pie, and watch it disappear.

The fact that you're here tells us you're one of the millions of people in the world today looking for better health.
With all the choices out there today in the wellness industry, you might be asking yourself "what makes Xooma Worldwide better than any other company?" Not only is that a fair question, it's the number one question we want you to ask.
You see, from day one, we designed this company to stand head and shoulders above the rest - even in front of the most hard-nosed skeptics who come our way. And in order to do this we knew that meant we could never settle for "second best" when it comes to our product or business opportunity. A difficult task? Yes. But, while most companies' main focus lies in doing whatever it takes to be "the biggest," here at Xooma, we're simply focused on being the BEST.
For example, rather than start our company with dozens of low quality "slap a fancy label on it" type products, we choose to grow our company one product at a time. Again, we are dedicated to providing you with the best wellness products on the planet - period. And if that means a smaller, more focused, premium quality product line, that's fine with us. After all, what good is a health product if it doesn't deliver the results you're looking for? Rest assured, you'll always be able to count on us to provide you with the kind of products you'll be proud to use and recommend to your family and friends.

The Doctrine of Unripe Time
Ferdinand Mount
- Having It So Good: Britain in the Fifties by Peter Hennessy
Allen Lane, 740 pp, £30.00, October 2006, ISBN 0 7139 9571 8
When did decaditis first strike? When did people begin to think that slicing the past up into periods of ten years was a useful thing to do? Historians used to deal in reigns and centuries, and it had long been agreed that these might have their own distinctive flavour, including the one that you happened to be living in – Tennyson in 1846 referred, ironically, to 'a noble 19th-centuryism'. But, as far as I can see, the 1890s was the first tenner to be identified, and quite quickly identified, as having its own inimitable aroma. Eddie Marsh, writing of Rupert Brooke in 1918, says 'he entertained a culte for the literature that is now called "ninetyish" – Pater, Wilde and Dowson.'
Almost as soon as a decade became a label, there were people who did not wish to have it stuck to them – Arthur Machen, the magus of the fantastic, although a paid-up member of the Order of the Golden Dawn, insisted to the end of his days that he was 'no part of the 90s'. Others welcomed the affiliation. The 1930s poets owed their instant celebrity to their speaking to and for their 'low dishonest decade'. Julian Maclaren-Ross was happy to call his recollections Memoirs of the Forties, a decade of which he was so emblematic. But these were artistic and literary lumpings-together, handy tags for something which might in fact have spread over a much longer period (Pater's most celebrated work was composed in the 1870s and 1980s).
Writing a political or cultural history of a decade is a much more recent endeavour, and a much odder one. There is the obvious objection that significant trends are unlikely to fit neatly within such compartments, the longer durée spilling over at both ends. The itch to dig up single spadefuls of the recent past seems somehow fidgety. Choosing to cover such short stretches at a time naturally leads you to insist on how distinct your chosen decade is from the one before and the one after – or else why write about it in isolation? And behind this there presumably lurks the desire to puff up the times we have lived through, to present them as a uniquely thrilling rollercoaster, in which the ups and downs, the changes of pace and direction, make our own lives more amazing than those of previous generations. There is in decaditis a hint of nervous insecurity.
The decade in question is likely to be one which many readers have directly experienced, or whose afterglow they can remember. For us, the scene is déjà vécu, or to put it more bluntly, stale buns. For the historian of the 1950s this problem is a good deal tougher, because if the 1950s are famous for anything, it is for being dull. Not as dull in Britain as in Eisenhower's America, but dull nonetheless, not to mention smug. It is not surprising that Peter Hennessy should call his monumental history Having It So Good, nor that Dominic Sandbrook should call his equally monumental recent history of the late 1950s and early 1960s Never Had It So Good. This neatly illustrates the drawback of decaditis: Macmillan's speech at Bedford football ground on 20 July 1957 points forward as well as back.
Having It So Good is the second volume in a history of postwar Britain: the first volume, Never Again, a history of 1945-51 or the 'short postwar', was published in 1992. Hennessy starts off writing what is essentially a social history of these years but then, a quarter of the way through, swerves off to produce something more unusual, a history of high politics under Churchill, Eden and Macmillan that would satisfy even Maurice Cowling's sense of the level at which politics really does operate and at which political history ought to operate. Almost anyone can piece together a plausible scrapbook of an age, but to make a coherent picture out of what was going on behind the scenes is a more demanding task.
So in the first hundred-odd pages, we hear in Hennessy the hiss of Achille Gaggia's wonderful coffee machine; we sniff the first whiffs of garlic and olive oil from Elizabeth David's Book of Mediterranean Food; we hear the first chords of Bill Haley and the Comets. We find, too, the trenchant comments of Richard Hoggart, A.H. Halsey, Anthony Sampson and Michael Young – the Four Evangelists of the 1950s to whom Hennessy dedicates his book. Their increasingly grumpy pronouncements on the 'shiny barbarism of the new affluence' pepper the pages of Having It So Good. Of the new milk bars, for example, Hoggart says, 'Compared even with the pub around the corner, this is all a peculiarly thin and pallid form of dissipation, a sort of spiritual dry-rot amid the odour of boiled milk.'
Hennessy puts all this together with grace and charm. He recalls the terrible false dawn when sweets came off the ration and then had to go back on again, the number of clothing coupons you needed to buy a blouse, the arrival of the Chinese and Indian and Turkish restaurants – 'an impact on the British palate … not experienced since the medieval world discovered the spice routes'. And he intersperses his own memories: of his youngest sister buying her first pair of two-toned high-heeled shoes, of Eamonn Andrews reading the football results on the radio, of the trolley buses creeping silently through the last pea-soupers before the Clean Air Act of 1956. Occasionally, these personal recollections verge on the winsome: for example, when Hennessy recalls that the sight of a steam express crossing the Forth Bridge on the opening credits of Six-Five Special had particular resonance for 'little old trainspotting me'. But he relives very well the innocence and modesty of those years, of which the hard-nosed Sir Kenneth Berrill, later head of Margaret Thatcher's Central Policy Review Staff, remarked: 'We had won the war and we voted ourselves a nice peace.'

"Pixo & Confusion" The Changing Face of Brazil's Pixação
"Emerging in the 1980s in São Paulo, Brazil pixação quickly became one of the most aggressive and controversial forms of expression to date, turning its artists, the pixadores, into one of the most marginalized social groups in the city," writes photographer Choque Photos of Brazil.
"Constantly in search of adrenaline, social resistance and recognition, the pixadores enter the city center from the outskirts in order to assert their existence through bold nocturnal actions – nightly escapes from the social exclusion that weighs on their daily lives."
We're talking about pixação, the unique São Paulo-originated form of graffiti. As is true with all forms of unauthorized street art, to some the pixadores are outlaws; to others they are heroes, risking their lives to get up in some of the most dangerous of spaces and situations the world of graffiti has seen.
What happens though, when those pixadores (namely a group of about 40 organized by Rafael Pixobomb) once proud of and known for their anti-establishment/corporation/government beliefs, start attacking local galleries (famously, the Choque Cultural Gallery in São Paulo), universities, and fine arts events? Even worse, why would they travel to Porto Alegre (one of the most conservative cities in Brazil on the pixação issue) and ironically, be paid with government money to organize a project "made to discuss pixação in a higher level," by writing on blank billboards voluntarily given up by a private organizations when the pixadores' entire trajectory was to remain outside mainstream art, politics, and government?
Our friend and active member of the art community in Porto Alegre, Ana Ferraz, set us straight on the real story behind the growing scandal sweeping Porto Alegre, São Paulo, and all of Brazil regarding the new face of, and attitude surrounding, pixação.
"That's what makes pixação different from all the other artistic forms," states journalist Caru Albuquerque. "Nobody has to like or understand it." But that's just the very tip of the scandalous issue. Get the most in-depth story thus far on the entire issue surrounding pixação in Brazil today in a great editorial Ana Ferraz wrote for us below:
Pixo & Confusion
by Ana Ferraz
Pixo or pixo-reto (straight pixo) is the result of doing "pixação", a kind of graffiti/tag originating from Sao Paulo, (the biggest city in Brazil) that has existed since the early 80s. From a text written by OSGEMEOS in the Graffiti Brasil book (Thames & Hudson, 2005), comes the theory that this style of calligraphy is rooted in the heavy metal band logotypes spray painted on the walls of the time. On the other hand, there's the aesthetic connection with the Californian Chicano gang style of letters from the 70s.
In any case, pixo has a very peculiar style and it's an illegal form of expression, made mostly by people from the marginalized areas that have nothing to loose and very little to expect. Their main goal is the "ibope" (the real IBOPE is the biggest statistics institute in the country, known for its TV audience reports). To achieve the pixo's "ibope", one must have their name written everywhere, in the highest and most difficult public spaces; it is the equivalent of "getting up" from wild style graffiti writers. When they're successful, it hurts a society that sees it as a dirty thing; a nonsensical, angry crime. Very few people see it as a creative outlet, as a calligraphic expression coming, in general, from youngsters who have no study or familiarity with graphic design. Since the 80s pixação has taken over major spaces in many Brazilian cityscapes, especially in Sao Paulo. Now, it's a style known worldwide and many Brazilian artists with roots in urban subcultures we love, like OSGEMEOS and Vitché, used pixo elements in their works.
In this complex context, on June 2008, a pixo writer called Rafael "Pixobomb" organized an attack to Belas Artes (fine arts) University as his graduation work. Fine art student himself, Pixobomb, and a group with about 50 other pixo writers, invaded the university claiming that art must be related to social issues, using pixação to prove his point. It wasn't very clear if Rafael wanted to elevate pixo as an art form, or if was just used as a way of protest.
In September, the same group attacked Choque Cultural gallery, also in Sao Paulo (photos below.) This time claiming that the real urban art (the pixo) can't be sold or domesticated, which in their point of view, the gallery was doing. Choque actually sell works with pixo (and graffiti, tattoo, etc) influences but in this violent attack, British pop artworks which have nothing to do with Brazilian urban art where painted over, together with all the walls and even some Juxtapoz magazines (now highly collectable!)
The next target was the most predictable one. In October, a group of 40 pixo writers, once again organized by Rafael Pixobomb, invaded the Sao Paulo Art Bienal (the most important Brazilian fine arts event) this year known as "Bienal of emptiness", with an entire floor of the building left empty to create a reflection about the meaning of the Bienal. Some people say that the curators knew about the attack and, even more, wanted it. Once again the attacker's speech was that pixo is the real art, mixed with some protest words. Anyway, they were applauded by the public while trying to escape from the police.
Now, with December comes the newest episode about this group of pixo writers. A cultural project involving pixação added Porto Alegre to the discussion, a city in the southern part of Brazil and home of artists like Bruno 9li, Carlos Dias, Trampo and many others. Organized by a producer known for her work with the hip-hop movement, the project was made to discuss pixação in a higher level and it was paid for with government money. It's a discussion that pixadores, graffiti and urban artists, and people involved always want to have happen.
One of the project's actions was the pixo writing on blank billboards, voluntarily given by a private organization, with participants like Rafael Pixobomb and the photographer known as "Choque Photos" (the one who shot the previous attacks. As a side note, he doesn't have anything to do with Choque Cultural gallery). Of course the pixo writers didn't paint only the billboards, putting their letters on walls around the city. As one of the most conservative cities on the pixação issue, Porto Alegre's media made it a scandal, accusing that pixação (a crime, according to Brazilian laws) was being made with public money.
In the last issue of Vista Skateboard Art magazine, released before the Porto Alegre project, there's the contradictory point of view of some of those pixo writers, involved in the attacks. In a long and great interview by Caru Albuquerque and Silvio Ayala, the pixo writers said that pixação will never be part of the system, government, advertising or fine arts. According to Djan (aka Cripta), "That's what makes pixação different from all the other artistic forms. […] Nobody has to like or understand it." Naldo (aka Os Bicho Vivo) said that it can happen to appear as a project from these institutions, but he doubts that the pixo writers would join it. "I don't think the government and pixo writers can talk… The society won't win the battle against pixação, and will never accept it," said Juca (aka Teimosos). Djan even affirmed that these attacks were made to introduce pixação at the Art debate.
Maybe what's happening now can be loosely related to what Tony Shafrazi did in the 70s. He first appeared to the world for his anti-war graffiti in Picasso's Guernic and now, well, he's Tony Shafrazi, the owner of one of the most important New York art galleries. Or perhaps Rafael Pixobomb and his crew are very confused– or they're really, really smart.

TV Ratings: 'Utopia' Off to OK Start Against 'Sunday Night Football' Return
Sunday shed its sleepy summer lineup last night, with the return of NBC's Sunday Night Football and the launch of the first new series of the fall: Fox's Utopia.
The latter, which will air twice more this week in its regular Tuesday and Friday time slots, had a hefty lead-in from the network's own NFL coverage but likely lost more than a few potential viewers against big competition from the primetime showdown between the Colts and the Broncos. For its first two-hours, it averaged a fair 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 and 4.6 million viewers.
Those numbers are subject to change when adjustments come in. And though there is also potential for a DVR boost, reality doesn't traditionally see nearly as much of a time-shifting lift as scripted programming.
As for Sunday Night Football, it obviously steamrolled everything in its path. Overnight ratings have the game down nearly 10 percent from the comparable debut last year, with an average 15.1 rating in metered market households. As for adults 18-49, the Fast National 8.0 rating marked a 12 percent drop from last year's preliminary 9.1 rating. (That rose to a 10.0 in finals.)
Big Brother might provide a more interesting barometer for Utopia's inaugural performance. In the hour where the two programs went head-to-head, Big Brother edged past it in the demo with a 2.3 rating in the key demo. (Utopia's first hour pulled a 2.2 rating.) Compared to last Sunday, the CBS show was also up three-tenths of a point. It was not the network's only original outing for the night. Unforgettable (1.1 adults) and Reckless (0.7 adults) also were new.
Over on ABC, a two-hour Wipeout took a 0.8 rating with adults under 50. That marked a two-tenths improvement from last Sunday's showing over the holiday weekend.

Secure long-term parking fees at the Cruise Maryland Terminal in Baltimore are payable upon arrival. Cruise passengers wishing to park their cars for the duration of their cruise are required to deposit their luggage before proceeding to the long-term parking lot. The luggage tags issued by cruise lines should be attached to all pieces of luggage in advance of dropping it off.
If luggage tags have not been issued, passengers should proceed to the Cruise Luggage Tags tent inside and to the left of the terminal entrance.
Accepted payment methods for parking fees are cash, traveler's checks and VISA, MasterCard or American Express credit cards. As of August 2015, the fee for parking passenger vehicles and SUVs in the secure long-term parking lot is $15 per night. The fee for parking recreational vehicles under 30 feet is $30 per night, and for recreational vehicles over 30 feet, as well as buses, the fee is $40 per night.
Alternatively, the Best Western Plus Hotel and Conference Center near the cruise terminal offers a "Park N' Cruise" package for guests to store their cars free of charge for the duration of their cruise. The package also includes a night's lodging, a buffet breakfast and shuttle transportation to and from the terminal.

COSTA MESA — Two hours more of memorandums of understanding, two hours more of request for proposals, two hours more of public governance.
When averaging Costa Mesa's regularly scheduled biweekly City Council meetings with the current council, meetings now last an average of 4.5 hours — more than two hours longer than under the previous council.
"Everybody gets to be heard on every issue," said Mayor Pro Tem Jim Righeimer, who was elected into office last November. "You know if you go to a Costa Mesa council meeting you'll get to air out your issue."

Slowly working on this costume again
Had a big knock to my confidence but some RL members have been so generous that it's coming back
So I cut apart my last test fit bodice lining to see if I could make a nice seamed version, and yes
The fabric is just crisp enough that a dart makes for a very pointy end. The crispness also means I need to clip the curves but that is fine
So I finally have cut every part from the crepe. Some of the pieces are weird because in order to fit smoothly at the armscye but create folds you need to remember a curved seam can be sewn flatter
So the bodice pieces are all too big and need to be stitched by hand to the lining and then the bodice assembled. They need to be clipped to shape too, as this is all two layers I'll be also have to stagger the seam allowance width too.

Ooh, well I managed to separate a rib in the time since I posted so that has made everything, I mean every slow down. However I'm back at getting this done!
All the beading is done, the bodice and skirt is ready for final fitting. The hood is ready to be stitched down and the cape has been reshaped with a little final flare to the "sleeve" side (this cape is like a victorian dolman wrap in some regards.)
So the drapery sewn on with a mix of triple stitch (to allow for stretch and clipping seam allowance to the tiniest possible) zig zag (esposed top edge that will be covered by the hood and cape) and hand worked backstitch!
Here the hood and cape are pinned on to make sure they are indeed going to cover the exposed inner!
I also adjusted the skirt gathers. I don't think I have a photo so I'll gran one soon- I sewed the skirt shell to the skirt lining and then also sewed in bias tape. I then sewed through the bias, the seam allowances, and the skirt lining to make a really solid support to hold that curve in place. After that I hand seed the other side of the bis tape down.
I also used the bias tape to control the gathers at the very top of the front skirt panel.
This gown uses all the couture techniques of hidden support there is. The gathers and fold are supported internally.
I forgot I used a silver thread in amongst the the black to mimic the crackle of the original beads. there are though 8mm flat beads and I do have spare
I'll continue to see if I can find extra for members who like me have not been able to find them for years at a time
So now I am preparing to stamp. I had a lovely grid and scaled print out. Well that did not work as the pattern is so irregular! So I printed a photo at scale to my height and use that to check my proportions all over.
So I laid the print out on my fabric and folded back every few inches to allow me to match the pattern with my own vectorised stamping pattern. the stamps themselves are great! I will share the stamps as soon as I get my costume in the application process and done. So that is spurring em to finish
There are about 50 of one of the stamps and 40 of the other. There are two stamps used, one mirrors the other and is used only in the back. I suspect that the border was created first and then the back filled in as I can only find the first stamp used in the border, even though it is reversed irregularly.
I used my cutting machine to cut some eva foam as my scissors and cutting knifes could not get down fine enough.
The foam is so dense though my knife got dull and also the machine skipped and I wound up with one of the repeats overlayed on itself.
I have a new knife and my cutting mat is so cut up I am just going to use spray adhesive to stick the foam down next time as I know I will want to have a back up set of stamps!
Here you can see the differencebetween my hand cut stamps and the new ones! The new stamps are narrower than the actual design to allow for the paint to spread when the stamp is applied.
the paint itself is a mix of textile medium from Joe Sonja and artist acrylic paints.
Acrylic paint is fine alone for on a polyester fabric as my last dress was but this is a rayon/cotton mix so the paint may wash away with laundering.
So I used about 1/2 medium to paint.
I also mixed the paint by eye from white and black paint so that i got a really nice silvery tone on the blue fabric. On paper it doesn't look silvery at all. It also is intended to be of a similar tone to the silver paint I'll need for my headpiece.

Great progress, neimhaille!
I'm amazed at how much piecing you do with this costume to use as little fabric as possible in it.

I'm not doing any piecing that isn't already in the gown
I followed the grain of the fabric where I could see it and matched it.
There are obvious seams in the bodice and I followed them.
There are seams in the cape down the top of the arm and at the front to create a flared hem. I followed that- though I got a bit carried away and put too much fabric in after doubting my pattern.
If all the bodice front was covered in the double layer of fabric then the neck would be very bulky
The hood is double layered, folded in two so all edges are at the neck so that is four layers of fabric on the upper chest. Not only that they are gathered.
No costume maker is going to put extra fabric under all that. No one.
I have studied the practices of professionals for more than two decades, what i am doing here is accurate.

Oh, I have no doubt about that. When I did this years back, we ended up with six layers at the most in places. That's a lot of fabric.
Whenever I do this again I want to try and redesign it to have less fabric layers.

A bit of overlap of what has been posted here but I'm a little under the pump right now with teaching and trying to help a fellow RL member and my first SCA event in a very long time. Gotta remember the fealty oath... I think it has changed.

Bit of a break
I'm back to working on this costume, just tidied the cloak last night, so that has now been pinned to my form- I may need to cut under the arms a bit more to give a bit of movement.
But the neckline is about where I want it, the hood is almost ready to stitch down as well
Just need to check I have all the pieces- and to test an idea about using abs for casting.

Hoards of craft distillers came together this week in Pittsburgh for the annual American Craft Spirits Association convention despite the fact that an enormous icicle had recently fallen through the roof of the hosting hotel (which is just about the most Pittsburgh thing that could have happened).
Below are a few takeaways from the event.
CRAFT GROWS UP. There was plenty for craft distillers to celebrate this year. "The industry is maturing rapidly," Jeff Clark, Live Oak Banks' wine, beer and spirits expert, tells WSD. "I see an increasing level of sophistication in production, finance and distribution in the last three years."
The group is also moving beyond cyclical conversations about "what is craft," and instead turning to best business practices. We noticed both presenters and attendees alike repeating the phrase "own your home market first," like they were praying the rosary.
Industry veteran and consultant Robin Robinson observes that "there was more of a subdued energy at the event, and I'm ascribing that to the fact that most of the companies have been in the marketplace for a while getting their knees skinned, and that sort of takes away the superficial energy from a crowd like this, placing more emphasis on focused areas of attack."
"As to be expected, we are seeing the weak business models fail (read: lack of distribution…) and well thought out business models not only succeeding but also being purchased strategically," says Jeff.
CELEBRATING FET BENEFITS. The craft segment has grown to over 1,600 members, and the federal excise tax reduction passed last year will benefit all of them. In a live poll, ACSA calculated that the distillers present would use the FET savings primarily to 1) hire employees, 2) purchase equipment, 3) expand/build, or 4) increase marketing.
But you'll recall, the reduction that was included in the larger federal tax reform bill is only for two years [see WSD 12-15-2017]. "It's like winning the super bowl, but the next season started a week later," says ACSA lobbyist Jim Hyland.
"Our goal is to make [the reduced FET rate] permanent" but the industry may have to accept short term extensions for a while, he says. Jim also mentioned that there's talk on Capitol Hill that Congress may do some fixes for the larger tax bill soon - possibly by March 23. Though, he cautions that for them get something like this done early is not consistent with how Congress typically operates.
RUM ON THE RISE. Rum looks to be the next category craft distillers are latching on to. In fact, two out of the last three years a rum has won the best in show judging prize for ACSA. This year it was Arizona Craft Beverage's Regalo De Vida rum, and the 2016 winner was Maggie's Farm Single Barrel rum.
"I am surprised, I've seen a lot of really great rums here," said IWSR's Brandy Rand. "I think that's is an interesting trend we're going to be paying attention to in the future."
Stay tuned for more in deptch craft convention coverage. If you also attended the event and want to share your own observations, send to email@example.com
The Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) raked in about $21.8 billion in revenues, with just over $8 billion from wineries, breweries and distilleries in fiscal 2017, representing about 38% of its total revenues.
In f2017, TTB received about 170,000 label applications and 14,500 formula applications. Moreover, the number of wineries, breweries and distilleries was way up yet again.
-- Wineries grew nearly 40%, with small wineries driving the increase.
-- Breweries increased 140% overall.
-- Distillery count has increased 107% since 2013, driven by a boom in small distillers.
TTB INVESTIGATIONS. Thanks to a $5 million increase in the TTB budget in May 2017, TTB created an Office of Special Operations within its Trade Investigations Division, and the funding is available through the end of fiscal 2018. "With these additional resources, TTB intends to substantially increase the number of trade practice investigations and increase outreach to the regulated industry to prevent and address violations," per the report.
You may recall, TTB is currently involved in three large-scale investigations in Florida and Illinois, and earlier this month announced an investigation into consignment sales in California [see WSD 03-01-2018].
DESTILERIA CASA DE PIEDRA TEQUILA EXPANDS IN US. Destileria Casa de Piedra is planning to expand into New Hampshire next month through MS Walker. MS Walker already sells its tequilas in New York and New Jersey, and the portfolio is also available in Florida through Park Street Imports. The portfolio includes Tequila Cobalto Blanco ($40) and Reposado ($50) and Tequila Terraneo Silver ($65). Its US business is handled by Whalebone Spirits Consulting.
OLD REPUBLIC DISTILLERY INKS DEAL WITH WORLDWIDE LIBATIONS. Pennsylvania-based Old Republic Distillery has named Worldwide Libations as its national sales and marketing agent, per a release. As such, Worldwide Libations will exclusively handle all sales and marketing for the distillery's labels for the US. The distillery's portfolio includes Battlefield Vodka ($32), Blackberry Vodka ($32), White Rum ($40) and Golden Plough Dark Rum ($50).
PIPING ALL HANDS. We are starting to plan for our second annual Distributor Productivity Summit later this summer, where distributors of all sizes come to trade best practices, and we need your help. Nobody knows what sort of topics distributors are interested than distributors themselves. So please ping me back with the sorts of speakers and topics you'd like for us to address, and let us know if your company has had a successful innovation that you'd like to share as a case study, perhaps with a vendor. Send ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com or get more info on the website.
Until Monday,
Your Editors

Western Bean Cutworm Moths: Slow Beginning – (Christian Krupke and John Obermeyer)
• Moth catches are well behind 2010 levels.
• Degree-day accumulations well behind as well.
• Peak moth catch predicted to occur in mid-July.
As noted in last weeks Pest&Crop, the pheromone trapping program for western bean cutworm is underway. After last seasons high numbers of moths and damage (mostly in northern counties), combined with a snowy winter (favorable conditions for overwintering larva) we have been warning of the possibility of even higher numbers in 2011. So far, that has not happened. Does that mean that WBC pressure will be lower this year? Too soon to say.
Our trap catch numbers this year, are well off the pace of 2010, see the following WBC phermone trap report. As of this time last year, total WBC catches were well over 1,000, compared to this year's couple dozen. A good deal of this is certainly due to the atypically warm spring weather we had last year –in fact, June of 2010 (the month when most of the development of WBC pupae happens) was the warmest in 39 years, and the 11th warmest June since 1895, according to the Indiana State Climate Office. This followed a warm May in 2010 as well. May of this year was "average" for Indiana, and although the story for June 2011 is not yet complete, it will certainly be cooler than last year. This all adds up to delayed insect development and later pressure. Coincidentally, our corn planting is well behind the 2010 pace as well. It will be interesting to see whether the WBC moths are synchronized with the desirable stage of corn for egg-laying (pre-tassel), as they were in 2010.
It's also interesting to note that in other states where WBC has moved in over the past decade (Iowa, Illinois), there has been a pattern of increasing damage and trap catches for a few years, followed by a decline and leveling-off. This is probably due to a combination of natural enemies and pathogens regulating the WBC population and pest managers more aggressively treating infestations. We would expect the same pattern in Indiana at some point, but it's impossible to say whether this is the year that we begin the decline. However, with so much awareness of the pest and so many tools to manage it effectively, we would not expect the trend of increasing damage to continue for very long.

Soybean fields damaged by heavy rain, winds, and hail are showing symptoms of bacterial blight of soybean. Leaves infected by Pseudomonas sp. are yellow or orange water-soaked angular lesions present. As lesions age, they turn dark brown and fall out of the leaf tissue, giving leaves a tattered appearance (Figure 1).
Bacteria survive on soybean residue and in seed, and enter plants through stomates and wound caused by equipment or other mechanical damage, or from weather events such as hard rains and hail. Long periods of leaf wetness and cool weather favor infection. Hot, dry weather will limit disease development.
Varieties will vary in their resistance, however resistance ratings may not be widely available. Yield loss may occur if disease is severe and plants defoliate. However, most fields in northwest Indiana exhibiting symptoms of bacterial blight are only moderately affected by the disease. In-season control methods, such as copper fungicides, must be applied when symptoms first appear, and are generally not practical for managing the disease. Preventative management options include crop rotation, tillage, and planting resistant varieties. These methods can lower the risk of bacterial blight developing in the subsequent soybean crop.

Cover Crops for Prevented Planting Acres – (Eileen Kladivko, Agronomy Dept., and Barry Fisher, Indiana NRCS)
Excessive rainfall and prolonged ponding conditions this spring have resulted in many fields remaining unplanted to corn or soybeans this season. These "prevented planting" acres, while unfortunate for this year's production, should be managed in ways to prevent further soil degradation and to increase soil productivity for next year. Cover crops are an excellent option for producers to consider for protecting their soil and increasing productive capacity for succeeding years. This article briefly describes the benefits of growing cover crops compared to leaving the soil bare and fallow, and then it provides guidance on selecting and seeding cover crops for prevented planting acres.
Producers are advised to check with FSA and their crop insurance agent about harvest restrictions for cover crops.
Prolonged and excessive rainfall and ponding can cause soil aggregates to break down, especially near the soil surface. Flooding and erosion remove valuable topsoil and all the nutrients, organic matter and soil organisms it contains. When these fields finally dry out, the surface becomes hard and crusted and is prone to further erosion by water or wind. If tillage is performed to control weeds and the soil is left bare, soil organic matter declines and nutrients can be lost through leaching, even on fields not subject to water erosion.
To rebuild lost productive capacity and improve soil quality, growing a cover crop for the remainder of the season is crucial. In fact, having something green and growing during all non-frozen times of the year is a key concept for improving soil quality, decreasing nitrate leaching to drainage waters, and improving water quality.
Improve soil tilth and biological activity in topsoil
Cover crops protect the soil from further erosion by both water and wind. High biomass cover crops help build soil organic matter, improve soil aggregation, and stimulate soil biological activity by adding their roots and shoots to the soil. Fibrous roots enmesh soil particles and provide food for microorganisms which in turn produce polysaccharides and other "sticky" substances which stabilize soil aggregates. Cover crops also provide additional food for soil fauna such as earthworms. The roots and soil biological activity also increase soil porosity and decrease density near the soil surface, leading to improved infiltration into the soil. Both the root growth and top growth of the cover crops will contribute to building soil organic matter faster than if the soil is left bare or growing weeds.
Increase permeability and decrease compaction
Deep rooted cover crops can penetrate compacted layers and provide deep, continuous channels for water percolation and root penetration of subsequent cash crops. Prevented planting acres have a longer time window for these tap-rooted crops to grow than is present after typical soybean or corn harvest dates, and so the benefits can be substantially greater than possible in a normal year. If fields have so much compaction that deep tillage or subsoiling is required to remediate the condition, planting a deep rooted cover crop after the tillage operation will help stabilize the gains in permeability, rebuild soil structure, and stimulate soil biological activity along root channels.
Build soil nitrogen
Cover crops can build soil nitrogen by fixing atmospheric N (legumes) or by trapping residual soil N to prevent it from leaching into drainage waters. A legume or legume mix planted in early summer may provide more than half of the required N for next year's corn crop. Brassicas or grasses can trap or scavenge over 40 pounds of residual N from the soil originating from fertilizer or soil organic matter mineralization and even larger amounts where manure was recently applied. This protects water quality, and some of the scavenged N will be available to succeeding cash crops while the rest helps build soil organic matter.
Selecting cover crops
When selecting which cover crops to plant, producers should consider their main purposes of the cover crops for their situation. Grasses usually provide the greatest amount of biomass both below and above ground and will build soil organic matter most quickly. Summer grasses such as sorghum-sudangrass and millets are good choices for early summer plantings while the more familiar annual ryegrass and cereal grains can be planted mid- to late-summer. Legumes will fix atmospheric nitrogen that can be used by next year's cash crop. Cowpeas are an excellent choice for mid-summer plantings, while hairy vetch, crimson clover, and winter peas can be planted through late summer. Be sure to inoculate all legume seed. Brassicas such as oilseed radish, turnip, rapeseed and canola have tap roots that help break up tillage pans and improve permeability while being an excellent nitrogen scavenger and can be planted mid- to late-summer.
Often a mix of cover crops provides more benefits than a single species, and producers should consider a mix including two or three of the plant classes discussed above. These species mixes stimulate soil biological activity more quickly due to the diversity of crop and root types. A mix of a fibrous-rooted grass and a legume or brassica with a tap root will produce soil improvement throughout the soil profile.
There are several tools to help producers select cover crops for their situation in Indiana. The Midwest Cover Crops Council has a selector tool that was built starting with Indiana conditions and experience <http://www.mccc.msu.edu/selectorINTRO.html>. Producers enter their state and county, and are provided with a chart of various cover crops and their planting date windows. Producers can further narrow the list by inputting up to three desired purposes of the covers, such as N scavenger or soil builder, and selecting from that list. A few common mixes are also included in that chart. The Indiana NRCS Seeding Tool <http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/efotg/> also provides guidance on cover crop species and allows more flexibility in determining mixes. Both tools provide the dates and seeding rates for planting the various cover crops. With prevented planting there are obviously many more choices for cover crops than when seeding after corn or soybean harvest.
Other considerations for cover crop choices include whether the cover crop will winterkill or will overwinter. The advantage of those that winterkill is that the producer does not need to terminate them in the spring, but the overwintering species will continue to provide some additional growth and benefit next spring. Some summer planted cover crops may need to be managed by mowing or killing before seedhead formation to prevent them from becoming a weed next year. If residual herbicides were applied this year, producers should consult herbicide labels for plant back restrictions, as some covers are sensitive to some of the residual herbicides. See <http://www.btny.purdue.edu/WeedScience/2011/CoverCrops11.html> for more information. Growers should also check with their crop insurance agents to understand the termination requirements for next spring on any cover crops that overwinter.
Seeding cover crops
For prevented planting conditions it is best to seed the cover crop with a drill or planter to assure good soil seed contact. This is especially important given the crusted, hard top soil often present after prolonged soil ponding.
Cover crops can be an excellent management tool to improve soil productivity under any conditions but especially on prevented planting acres. Producers are encouraged to utilize the opportunity to rebuild soil productive capacity after a difficult spring by growing cover crops for the remainder of the growing season.

The John McCain campaign has been stepping up its efforts in Pennsylvania, a state many observers believe the Republican must carry if he is to win the White House in November.
Andrew Sullivan on his Daily Dish blog presents an electoral map drawn up by James Poulos of the Culture11 Web site showing "McCain's best case scenario," with McCain carrying enough states to garner the 270 electoral votes he needs to win the presidency.
One "blue state" conspicuously red on the map is Pennsylvania, with its 21 electoral votes.
James Poulos Map of How McCain Thinks He Can Win:
Noting that recent polls show McCain trailing Democrat Barack Obama by double digits in the state, Sullivan observes: "It's hard to imagine McCain winning Pennsylvania, but it's also hard to see how he wins the election without it."
And the McCain campaign "is pulling out all the stops" in Pennsylvania, according to a headline on the Philadelphia Inquirer's Philly.com site.
On Monday, McCain's wife Cindy made four stops in the state, speaking at two rallies, visiting a hospital and meeting with the mothers of U.S. troops. She was accompanied in Philadelphia by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
On Tuesday, McCain made three appearances in Pennsylvania, and running mate Sarah Palin was in Lancaster, Pa., over the weekend.
"We will win Pennsylvania, and those 21 electoral votes will be the margin that puts us over the top," campaign spokesman Peter Feldman told Philly.com.
"We wouldn't be here unless we were 100 percent confident of that."
Despite the recent polls, there are a number of encouraging factors indicating that McCain could pull out a victory in the Keystone State:
Catholics have increasingly favored socially conservative Republicans in recent decades, Marlin noted. George Bush actually fared slightly better among Pennsylvania Catholics in 2004 than he did overall in the state, even though he was running against John Kerry, a Catholic.
And when Obama squared off against Clinton in the primary, Hillary walloped her rival among blue-collar Catholics, winning 70 percent of the vote.
McCain acknowledged the importance of victory in the state during a campaign stop on Tuesday: "We need to win Pennsylvania on November 4, and with your help — with your help — we're going to win."

Nor was the evening less agreeable. Henrietta pleased grandmamma by getting her carpet-work out of some puzzle, and by flying across the room to fetch the tea-chest: she delighted grandpapa by her singing, and by finding his spectacles for him; she did quite a praiseworthy piece of her own crochet purse, and laughed a great deal at the battle that was going on between Queen Bee and Fred about the hero of some new book. She kept her list of Uncle Geoffrey's manifold applicants on the table before her, and had the pleasure of increasing it by two men, business unknown, who sent to ask him to come and speak to them; by a loud and eager appeal from Fred and Beatrice to decide their contest, by a question of taste on the shades of grandmamma's carpet-work, and by her own query how to translate a difficult German passage which had baffled herself, mamma, and Fred.
However, Queen Bee's number, fifty, had not been attained, and her majesty was obliged to declare that she meant in a week instead of a day, for which reason the catalogue was written out fair, to be continued.
Mrs. Frederick Langford thought herself well recompensed for the pain her resolution had cost her, by the pleasure that Mr. and Mrs. Langford evidently took in her son and daughter, by the brightness of her two children's own faces, and especially when Henrietta murmured in her sleep something about "delightful," "bright leaves and red berries," and then, "and 'tis for my own dear papa."
And after all, in the attainment of their fondest wish, were Henrietta and Frederick as serenely happy as she was?
Christmas Eve, which was also a Saturday, dawned brightly on Henrietta, but even her eagerness for her new employment could not so far overcome her habitual dilatoriness as not to annoy her cousin, Busy Bee, even to a degree of very unnecessary fidgeting when there was any work in hand. She sat on thorns all breakfast time, devoured what her grandpapa called a sparrow's allowance, swallowed her tea scalding, and thereby gained nothing but leisure to fret at the deliberation with which Henrietta cut her bread into little square dice, and spread her butter on them as if each piece was to serve as a model for future generations.
The subject of conversation was not precisely calculated to soothe her spirits. Grandmamma was talking of giving a young party—a New-year's party on Monday week, the second of January. "It would be pleasant for the young people," she thought, "if Mary did not think it would be too much for her."
Beatrice looked despairingly at her aunt, well knowing what her answer would be, that it would not be at all too much for her, that she should be very glad to see her former neighbours, and that it would be a great treat to Henrietta and Fred.
"We will have the carpet up in the dining-room," added Mrs. Langford, "and Daniels, the carpenter, shall bring his violin, and we can get up a nice little set for a dance."

Jean Henry Dunant was a man of ideas and ideals whose strong humanitarian beliefs led to his founding of the International Red Cross and an inspiration for the framing of the First Geneva Convention on the rules of war, among many other worthy causes that he either initiated or backed during his lifetime. So crucial was his role in promoting a better world for all humankind that he was named a co-laureate of the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.
Less known generally than his other endeavors, this remarkable 19th century Swiss businessman was also a key figure in his time in the fermentation of the Christian Zionism movement to restore the Jewish people to their homeland in then Ottoman-occupied Palestine. His advocacy was inspired by his staunch Protestant Christian belief in the Bible.
It was said that Dunant was the first to be labeled a "Christian Zionist," so designated by Theodor Herzl. the founder of the international Zionist movement. Indeed, it was in 1866, long before Herzl began to push for a Jewish homeland, that Dunant appealed for the founding of the International Society for the Renewal of the Orient.
His plan outlined the establishment of a colony in Palestine that would in due course become a place of settlement for the Jews, and ultimately a small Jewish homeland that would aid in the liberation of the Holy Land from the Ottoman Empire. This plan, Dunant felt, would be formulated under the auspices of France and its ruler, Napoleon III. Unfortunately, Dunant's strategy came to naught.
But Dunant did not give up. So great was his determination to further the cause of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, that he founded the Association for the Colonization (or Resettlement) of Palestine in 1867. Because of his Zionist beliefs, Dunant was invited by Herzl to accompany him to the First World Zionist Congress, one of only a handful of gentiles to be invited (Which is true, though he did not attend; Herzl had mentioned him in his speech when regarding Christian Zionists).
Dunant continued to strive for renewal of life in the Holy Land. He promoted development of large areas of the coast of Palestine and strived to ensure that Jews immigrated there. Although Dunant again failed in efforts to enlist the aid of numerous highly visible public figures, his zeal for bringing the Jews home to Palestine never wavered.
His life was celebrated in Israel when a section of the Jerusalem Forest was dedicated to his memory. Its shady groves provide places for children to play and families to picnic just below Mount Herzl. The spot, quietly reminiscent of Dunant's beloved Swiss Alps, is a tangible demonstration that the Jewish people and Christian Zionists have not forgotten Dunant's passion for the restoration of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland.

Roaches Stop Greyhound Bus Out Of Atlantic City
Roaches on board a Greyhound bus traveling from Atlantic CIty to New York forced the bus to pull over along the Garden State Parkway.
WPVI TV says the 48 passengers were standing alongside the bus in Port Republic waiting for another bus to pick them up. Photos show roaches crawling on several seats.
The roaches began coming out of the bus' vents about 15 minutes into the trip according to WABC TV. People could be heard yelling about roaches on their backs and and in their hair.
"We apologize for this inconvenience and our team will be transporting the first bus back to our garage to investigate the situation and determine its cause," spokesperson Timothy Stokes said in a statement according to WPVI TV.

Many worldwide-used inventions were created in Romania by anonymous people.
The cradle of European civilization
In 1965 were discoveded at Schela-Cladovei, Mehedinţi County, near the Danube Iron Gates, the remains of a civilization totally unknown to the historians, a complex phenomenon unique in Europe. Radioactive carbon analysis indicates the age of about 8750 years for the 30 archaeological sites discovered. Here was discovered the oldest workshop for copper smelting in the world.
The Dacian year
The Dacians were calculating the astronomical year at 365,242197 days, in comparison with 365,242198 days (modern measuring).
The high oven for iron ore
Was discovered in 1895 at Houses Valley, near Ghelari, Hunedoara County, has been reconstituted from the original materials and it is exposed at "The Science Museum", London. The oven was cut off, cleverly, in rock, having tronconical form, with the top diameter of about 0.65 m, was covered at the interior with refractory material and provided with a cap and a loading platform. Some swell introduced air at the bottom, and circulation was provided with a channel of smoke, slanted at the top. After some authors, it dates from the Ist century and after others, based on a more rigorous research, from IXth century.
The washing machine
Şteaza is a mere technical accomplishment, but incredibly efficient. It was formed from a trellis over which water falls through a sewer, washing the fabrics.
Şteaza - as a simple village equipment - is recorded in an act of 1473, in which Prince Stefan the Great (1457 - 1504), gives to one of his vassals the "village Berchişeşti in Suceava County..., Vadul Făguleţului from Moldova river to Vlaşin's şteaza and from Vlaşin's şteaza to Gura Bălcoaii".
The ancestor of Yale lock
The wood locks were used by peasants in the Middle-Age (the XIVth century) and had a wood key who pushed 3-4 cilinders, same as the modern Yale locks.
The use of explosives in mining
The first use of explosives in mining (XIIIth - XIVth century), is attested in a latin-written manuscript from 1395 - 1396, accompanied by a drawing (the manuscript is kept at the National Library of Paris). This writing presents the using of explosives in mines, realized for the first time in "the counties between Hungary and the Danube", so in the regions inhabited by Romanians.
An ancient turbine
'Roata cu făcaie' (XIIIth - XIVth century) is a top achievement of a popular Romanian hidrotehnics, "the queen of hidrotehnic instalations". The wheel has a vertical axis and the blades have an effective superior shape, very efficient. This romanian popular invention appeared before the hydraulic turbine, invented in 1884 by the American engineer Lester Allen Pelton (1829 - 1908). Original copies are exhibited in Vienna at "The Museum of Masterpieces of Science and Technology", the "Technical Museum Professor engineer Dimitrie Leonida", and the Museum of Popular Technics in Sibiu, Sibiu County.
The railway transport
The mining coach from Brad is the first rail-driven vehicle in the history (the XIVth century) and was used at a gold mine in Brad, Hunedoara County, where it was used for the transport of the gold ore. It was made of wood and the rails were made from wood too, presenting also a kind of switch path mechanism. The original was exposed in 1930, at the "Transport Museum", Berlin; replicas of the truck can be found at the "Museum of Railways" and the "Technical Museum Professor engineer Dimitrie Leonida", in Bucharest.

Sheffield to leave British Council
Graham Sheffield is to leave the British Council in June after seven years as director arts.
Sheffield, who was arts director at the Barbican between 1995 and 2010, took up his British Council post at a low point for the organisation after a dramatic switch of arts policy had brought criticism from both the arts community and government ministers.
He re-established the council's reputation around the world, appointing a new team of arts specialists and initiating seasons of work in Brazil, China, Qatar, India, Mexico and South Africa. He also worked to raise the council's home cultural profile with alliances with the Arts Council and other agencies.
A former BBC Radio 3 producer, he hopes to return to work more closely with music, his first love, including as chair of the charity Help Musicians UK.
