Victoria College auditorium demolition to be finished after new year
Dec. 15, 2011 at 6:15 a.m.
Updated Dec. 16, 2011 at 6:16 a.m.
Walls have started coming down at Victoria College's Fine Arts Auditorium - brick by brick.
The auditorium has a 45-year legacy of housing speakers from all over the world, such as poet Maya Angelou, author Elizabeth Gilbert and opera singer Luciano Pavarotti.
"It's bittersweet," said Larry Garrett, executive director of planning and special projects. "It's mixed feelings."
The demolition should be done by the end of January; however, immediately afterward will begin the renovation of existing building and then the addition of 7,000 square feet of new structure, Garrett said.
The area where the auditorium is now will become an outdoor performance area.
The project cost about $2.5 million and about $2 million of the cost is from what was left over from a 2006 bond project, Garrett said.
This week, the demolition has required the removal of each brick. Next week, the demolition of the concrete block and steel structure will come down.
Some will be salvaged and recycled, Garrett said.
The auditorium is being demolished piece-by-piece because back in the '60s, the auditorium was constructed with a lot of asbestos-loaded materials, Garrett added.
Demolition of the interior began just after Thanksgiving, but it has not been until this week that people walking the campus have noticed this long-standing building slowly fade away.
"Even though we're taking down the auditorium, we're making room for teaching facilities and arts and music programs," Garrett said.
Some additions to the half renovated and new building will be a new band hall, art gallery, choir room, piano classroom, student practice rooms and offices. The college is also building a 1,500 square foot ceramic kiln yard.
The entire project is expected to be finished by the start of the 2012 fall semester.
Speakers for the Victoria College Lyceum Lecture Series have used the auditorium, which seated about 1,000 people, since the series began.
Now, speakers are using the college's 200-seater Johnson Symposium. Speakers expected to rally larger crowds will be moved to the Victoria Fine Arts Center, Garrett said.
Also, bricks from the auditorium are being sold commemoratively.
Cara Frederick, the college's development director, said selling these bricks helps keep the memory of the auditorium's legacy alive.
"These individuals are grateful to keep a piece of history close to them and the commemorative bricks will help them keep their memories of the auditorium alive," she said.

20% of American adults smoke, a statistic that's not going down.
From the CDC:
Smokers who use effective cessation aids such as clinician assistance, pharmacotherapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and behavioral counseling (e.g., quitlines) can increase their likelihood of quitting permanently (3). All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and certain U.S. territories have quitlines that can be reached at 800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669). Other interventions that increase cessation include implementing sustained media campaigns, reducing patient out-of-pocket treatment costs, increasing the price of tobacco products, and establishing smoke-free environments (4).

I had written in my How to Build a Top Travel Team – Overview post about how selecting the right conferences to attend can influence your team's ability to win awards at that conference and grow competitively as a team. The top travel teams have a strategy and a process in place when selecting conferences to attend to ensure that both happen. Here I will share with you the five basic steps and then three more advanced strategies:
1. Select the appropriate circuit. It's a given to send your team to the appropriate circuit: college, high school, or middle school.
2. Consider local conferences first. You can use the Best Delegate Conference Maps to find your local conferences. These are your bread-and-butter conferences because they are the ones that most of your delegates can financially afford to attend consistently every year. While they may not be the most glamorous conferences, they are the easiest to field the largest and most competitive teams and are important in building up your talent pipeline. Also, it's important to build a local network and to brand your school in a circuit, particularly if your organization plans on or already hosts a conference. After you have selected some local conferences, then throw in a prestigious travel conference (or a few) if your members are interested, ambitious, and can afford it or fundraise for it.
3. Match conferences with team goals. Every conference should help your team achieve a developmental goal, whether that be an educational mock session for first-timers to learn, a beginner conference to novices to build confidence, a regular conference for everyone to build skills and have an opportunity to win awards, a competitive or prestigious conference to challenge the best team members, or a niche conference for members to try something new and creative. Some conferences are designated as novice conferences, but most conferences are not and using the size of the conference can be an acceptable indicator of its competition level. Remember that selecting the right competition level is essential to growing your team's competitive strength.
4. Review the dates. Dates have a major impact on which delegates can attend. You want to ensure that there are no major campus event conflicts with your team members, that the conferences you plan to attend are spread apart enough to allow adequate time for researching and writing any position papers (3-4 weeks are recommended), that your team has enough time to train delegates, that delegates have enough time to fundraise or come up with the money to attend, and if applicable, that it doesn't complicate your program's efforts to host your own conference.
5. Review the costs. Take note of the delegate fees and travel expenses. You want to make sure that your team's members can afford to attend the conference or that you have developed a fundraising or subsidization strategy to address the financial needs. This is important to ensure that your talented members are not priced out from good opportunities.
Besides the five basic steps, there are also three advanced strategies that top travel teams consider when selecting conferences to attend:
Philosophy of Judging: Different schools are taught different styles to participate in Model UN; some schools are more competitive while others are more diplomatic (see Favoritism & Philosophy). The takeaway is that students who are chairing committees will favor the style they are taught and will tend to award delegates that mirror that style, and that it may be advantageous to counter this subconscious bias by adapting your style to that conference or selecting conferences hosted by schools of similar teaching. One of the keys to winning Best Delegate is to have your students research the conference in advance.
Build familiarity with team brands: Top travel teams will attend a certain set of conferences consistently every year because they understand it is advantageous to build familiarity with the conference and circuit in order to understand each others' brands and reputations. Building familiarity helps you understand a school's judging style and how to effectively work with delegates from different schools, including those that you may work with again in future committees. Stronger relations with other schools also lead to advisors sharing best practices as well as better rivalries. At the college level, you also want to select conferences that are conducive to networking with students of similar caliber as they will probably end up in similar career fields as you.
Business development: If your program hosts a Model UN conference, then you need to consider going to other conferences for business development (i.e. recruit attendance to your own conference). You might attend a conference hosted by a large school so that they can reciprocate their attendance, or you might go to a local conference to encourage the advisors and head delegates to participate at your conference as well. Since college teams travel more due to the limited supply of local conferences, a team might travel to another conference to tap into a new market.
The five steps above are the basics in selecting a conference to attend, and the three advanced strategies help you optimize your winning potential as well as your schedule to your program's overall goals. You should be able to create a lineup of conferences for the year based off those tips. For many reasons mentioned above, an ideal conference lineup would include at least one novice conference, several conferences that match your team's competition level, at least one prestigious/challenging conference, and optionally a travel conference or a niche conference for fun.
Which conferences does your school attend and why? Let us know in the comments!

Detroit News 2011 High School Dream Team
Braden, Ross, MO, Godin, Drake, TRich
Coach of Year: Thomas Wilcher, Cass Tech
And Kenny Allen ,the punter, is a preferred walk-on.
Probably because he's a WR, or split end.
I agree, calling him a receiver or wide receiver would have been more clear, or even saying split end instead of just end. But it's not that uncommon of nomenclature either.
cotter was most definitely a wide out. he also benefited from having a very solid qb throwing him the ball. I think the decision to include him on this list is based on stats alone
Back in the old days, that's what they were called. But regardless, the Detroit News has been calling tight ends and wide receivers "ends" on the Dream Team for as long as I can remember.
He seemed to have a Wisconsin early offer and Michigan was looking at him before Hoke got here. I checked Rivals and he is 3 stars but with no offers. He is 6'4 and almost 300 pounds.
I have an idea of what has gone on with Latta, but I'd rather not share it. However, he didn't go to camps this summer because of injury, and that may have stalled his recruitment.
Latta does have nice size, but his film isn't all that impressive. I thought the Wisconsin offer was fishy, and it seems like the offer was pulled or never existed in the first place. He doesn't look like a high FBS prospect to me. He looks like a MAC kid.
Interesting, no Funchess or RJS (or Burbridge).
These awards are generally for who had the best season, not who the best player is. I'm not sure what Burbridge's stats were, but I'm guessing there were other guys in the state who had better stats this year.
It's probably because these kind of things are based on high school stats instead of recruiting rankings/upside at the next level.
Congrats to your brother, OP.
Kind of an awkward picture of Cooper Rush, with the piece of grass stuck to the side of his face. You'd think they would have let him know to brush it off or at least photoshoped it out.
I like the kid from De La Salle's goofy senior picture. So great.
Looks like they shorted Drake Johnson 1,000 yards.
They shorted him 5,000 yards ... He runs so damn fast and for so many yards that they quit keeping track at 1,800 yards in the 3rd game
"Mario is the most dominant defensive tackle we've ever had," coach John Herrington said.
FHH is one of the best HSFB programs in Michigan, and has been for a long time. Herrington is a legend, so that's damn impressive. This kid is going to be great.
I don't remember that many lineman-sized prospects coming out of FHH. Most of them seem to be running backs, receivers, and defensive backs.
and I don't remember any either, but for fuck's sake Magnus
It's high praise from a legendary coach and look on the bright side and don't think so critically on every little thing and the kid is going to be great end of story goddamn you.
lol I agree that it's high praise. I'm just sayin'.
No sparty committs. A handful of amazing UM committs.
And quite a few are heading out of state.
That's cute.
Here's Danny Cotter's highlight video. Looks awesome.

The mind-blowing Luxurious Minimalist Living Room Furniture With Compact Sofas And Simplistic Coffee Table photo above, publisized at Sunday, November 05th 2017 09:48:14 AM, by admin, categorized in Furniture category.Blabla furniture 1
Excerpt of Stunning Minimalist Living Room Furniture Ideas Collection :
This article reviews the numerous choices one has in minimalist living room furniture and simply how they ought to select furniture to match their individuality. I have constantly thought that your living room mirrors your individuality and as a result should be given utmost priority while developing it. With the most effective sort of furniture, you might give a suitable space. Your specific preference and choices have to expose itself in your house decor and include unique beauty to the entire setting. Enchanting yet elegant, contemporary with a touch of timeless times and strong yet refined is my type of optimum living-room configuration. Considering that your living-room is the area where you usually mesmerize guests and interact socially, you would naturally prefer your guest to feel at home. Your furniture might make or harm the look of your living-room. A sofa of useful size, neither also large nor also small, relying on the size of the room would certainly be my front runner. I would additionally remember the variety of people I prepare for would certainly get home at any kind of point and appropriately pick the sofa. The top quality of the cushions is furthermore crucial as also soft ones would definitely make sitting a little unpleasant and would absolutely be testing for anyone remaining on it to get up and come forward effortlessly.
A contemporary looking coffee table is a needs to for my living-room. It need not be a substantial one. A standard abstract looking one with a natural leather finishing would definitely look suitable, specifically if the sofa has comparable furniture. I would absolutely choose a surface area made from wood in contrast to glass as I assume glass gets blemished rapidly and could obtain hard to preserve. A bean bag typically complements any sort of kind of room furniture and normally a brown one would certainly be my option. Because I directly like the minimalistic appearance, means way too many furniture items in the specific very same room is a guaranteed no.

Spigot from sky is turned to 'on position'
Updated 9:43 am, Wednesday, June 25, 2014
It's the first week of summer, the fronts from the north and west have petered out weeks ago, an upper ridge of high pressure air in the atmosphere eroded and a trough of low pressure replaced it, letting in whatever moisture the Gulf could wring out of itself to rain down on us.
Welcome to wet weather, which will keep us all externally hydrated for the next few days.
Andy Tingler, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, La., said expect an 80 percent rain chance today and about the same on Thursday.
If there are breaks, expect only an hour or so between the bucket above us refilling.
In the Beaumont area since midnight, 2.7 inches have fallen, Tingler said, but the region still is about 3 inches short for an average June.
And year-to-date, the region is down 11.27 inches, he said.
By this time of year, in an average year, Southeast Texas usually has had 26.39 inches of rain.
Still, the reservoirs to the north - Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend - either are full or almost full, guaranteeing adequate water supply for at least the next two years in case a return to drought turned off the sky spigot.
But don't look for that to happen at least through this weekend, Tingler said.
Rain chances will decrease through the weekend with 40 percent chance of scattered showers on Saturday , 30 percent for Sunday and 20 percent for Monday.
Temperature will remain in the mid-80s for the next two days if the cloud cover remains solid, Tingler said.
If there is a break in clouds, the temperature will shoot right up, he said.

Investing in a healthier and cleaner energy future
Investing in a healthier and cleaner energy future
Asia is about to embark on a green growth spurt with growing acceptance of the need to switch from fossil fuels to cleaner energy which will provide at the same time widespread economic, social and environmental benefits. There is a readiness by the private sector to play a leading role in this clean energy revolution along with the realisation by many Governments that they need to create the enabling environment for green growth through appropriate regulation and incentives.
This was my take from the Green Growth and Business Forum held in Singapore earlier this month, where speakers from Europe and from Asia pointed out the need for all countries to acknowledge the realty of climate change and avoid the huge costs that unabated climate change will impose.
It became clear from presentations by public and private sector speakers that green growth will not just help countries get onto a lower emissions trajectory, it will help them do so in a way which is consistent with continued, sustainable economic growth.
For our part, I was able to tell the forum a little the Armstrong journey where renewable energy investments have created jobs in Southeast Asia, led to avoided CO2 emissions, provided clean, healthy and more sustainable energy, as well as led to the implementation of international environmental, social and governance standards.
So it is not business as usual in the sense of maintaining economies in the fossil-fueled, high emissions trajectory which we've seen for some time, but introducing the new green business revolution – public and private sector together – to transform economies by investing in a healthier and cleaner energy future. – Andrew Affleck

ACC cover plus extra explained
ACC now offers ACC cover plus extra, which gives self employed people more choice when it comes to the amount of income cover required for accidents. New Zealanders have accident income cover to the value of 80% of their pre disability income. A lot of self employed people paying ACC levies probably do not realize that they would have to prove their income at the time of claim. The last full financial year end income is generally the accepted evidence of this. Of course some us may find that when we are ill, the years leading up to discontinuing work will naturally show lower earnings.
No Proof of income required at the time of claim
A great feature of the ACC cover plus extra is that you do not have to prove your income at the time of claim. You agree on an amount upfront and pay levies for only what you will be entitled to claim.
The work involved in setting this up right can be invaluable when and if the worst should happen. The best place to set this up correctly is through a reputable insurance broker and or accountant.
Choose the levy you want to pay
It is nice to know that with ACC, we are covered for accidents, but statistically we are more likely to suffer from a critical illness. "ACC cover plus extra" does allow you to lower your levy and spend that money on private income cover, which covers both scenarios (accidents/illness).
The stats
211,100 people were disabled due to disease or illness in 2006 (NZ stats 2006). This is a whopping 37% of the total disabled people and a lot more than the 29% which was due to accident. If you are considering looking into lower levies make sure that you understand the level of cover a private insurance company will be able to offer first. A company offering illness cover will usually underwrite the cover, meaning health questions and or medical tests will be required.
Hidden extras
Another point to note is that ACC cover does provide accidental life cover of approx 50% of pre disability income for the surviving partner for a maximum of 5 years and approx 20% for any children until the age of 18.
Before making any move in lowering your ACC premiums you should ask an insurance advisor to prepare a side by side comparison of the pros and cons of replacing this with private income cover.
From initial consultation, the service we provide is tailored to your individual needs and we will recommend the most effective and appropriate service for you and your budget. All our quotations and advice are free of charge with a no hassle, no obligation site visit. We do not employ sales personnel.
As a relative new form of property defence, ACC has been at the forefront of this technology since its inception. We can provide passive intruder detection systems which are not only invisible but also highly reliable. This level of security is ordinarily reserved for high value sites and or premium residential sites. We will be happy to discuss your requirements.

Rumor Mill: Dell set to unveil Android-based internet tablet at CES 2010
December 10, 2009 | by Evan Selleck
Android OS, Google Android, MID, Rumors
A little competition never hurt anyone, right? Let's hope that's the idea here, because it looks like we've got another contender within the growing internet tablet marketplace. The Archos 5 just became available at Radio Shacks near you; the JooJoo (previously known as the CrunchPad) is set to start pre-orders tomorrow; and let's not forget all those rumors (still) floating around about an Apple tablet. So, what's Dell's angle in all of this?
Like a lot of companies out there, Android seems to be the focus. Dell is apparently planning on launching a 5″, Android-based tablet aimed for a 2010 launch. Sources close to Pocket-Lint are saying it'll be aimed for the UK, but hopefully that aim gets a bit more broad near, or soon after launch. There aren't any other details known about this #digitalunicorn yet, and Dell rolled out a canned response to Pocket-Lint regarding rumors and speculation: they don't comment.
So, for right now, we've got our hopes and dreams sustaining things like this. There are other rumors that the Dell tablet will have the same functionality as the Archos 5, but where those similarities are placed is anyone's guess. A resistive touchscreen? 8GB of memory? Who knows. However, if this does show anyone anything, maybe it'll be better to wait to see what's coming down the line, then to jump on a tablet that's available now.

Police say they have an explanation for how the Central Warehouse fire began.
Staff writer Carol DeMare reports:
A Rensselaer contractor who police said was illegally in the Central Warehouse removing piping has been charged with burglary and other counts in connection with last weekend's fire at the gigantic structure.
George Ellis, 35, of 1619 Fifth St., the owner of G&T Metals Ltd, was with three employees last Friday "cutting metal piping inside the warehouse when it appears that excessive sparking from sawing through the metal pipes caught the cork insulation on fire," police spokesman Detective James Miller said Thursday.

From The AP:
SEATAC, Wash. — Federal fisheries managers met Thursday to consider sharply curtailing this year's Pacific salmon season off the California and Oregon coasts, responding to the collapse of Sacramento River chinook.
The Pacific Fishery Management Council was weighing a range of proposals, from limiting the California and Oregon salmon season to one month of fishing in May to eliminating the season entirely.
A decision would affect commercial and sport fishing. Sacramento River chinook are vital to open-ocean fishing off Oregon and California, but not as crucial to Washington state fisheries.
In 2006, the salmon season extending south from Cape Falcon, Ore., about 30 miles south of the mouth of the Columbia River, to the Mexican border, also was severely restricted. Average quotas for the southern coast were allowed in 2007, while fishing was restricted north of Cape
Falcon to the Canadian border.
The Sacramento River chinook run is usually one of the most productive on the coast, but counts last fall found a record low number of chinook returning to California's Central Valley.
Consumers can expect to have a hard time finding chinook at stores later this year, but they will still be able to buy farm-raised salmon and wild sockeye from Alaska.
Scientists are studying the causes of the Sacramento River chinook collapse, with possible factors ranging from ocean conditions and habitat destruction to dam operations and agricultural pollution.

Sea Star Line, LLC has [re]christened El Faro, the latest addition to its fleet. Formally know as the Northern Lights, El Faro will be introduced as Sea Star Line's 3rd ship in the trade between the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
The ceremony took place on January 17th at the Atlantic Shipyard in Mobile, Alabama, where El Faro is being reconfigured to meet the needs of the Puerto Rico market. The ship is being configured as a combination ro/ro/lo/lo vessel, capable of handling both rolling cargo and containerized freight. El Faro will call the Florida ports of Jacksonville and Port Everglades, along with San Juan, Puerto Rico. El Faro is scheduled to be fully converted and ready for deployment by March 1.
'These are exciting times for our company,' said Frank Peake, Sea Star Line's president and COO. 'The vessel looks terrific and the modifications now being made are certain to satisfy the unique requirements of the Puerto Rico market."

Apple isn't the only one unhappy with the Department of Justice's proposed remedies in the case over e-book price fixing.
The five publishers who settled with the DOJ in its 2012 antitrust dispute said in a court filing yesterday that the DOJ's remedies would actually harm them and not Apple, which last month lost its case with the government over allegations that it conspired to fix e-book prices with the publishers. The DOJ is asking that Apple terminate its existing e-book agreements with the five publishers it was accused of conspiring with. It also asks that the company "refrain for five years from entering new e-book distribution contracts which would restrain Apple from competing on price. "Apple will be prohibited from again serving as a conduit of information among the conspiring publishers or from retaliating against publishers for refusing to sell e-books on agency terms," the government said.
Apple called the proposed remedies, released last week, "draconian" and said they were "wildly out of proportion to any adjudicated wrongdoing or potential harm."
Harper Collins, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan and Penguin Group, in a 14-page brief filed yesterday in New York federal court, said they object to the DOJ's remedies because they would "effectively eliminate the use of the agency model for the sale and distribution of e-books for a period of five years," which they say is counter to their individual settlements with the government. Apple was the only party to go to court over the issue. "Despite achieving their stated goal of returning price competition, plaintiffs now seek to improperly impose additional, unwarranted restrictions on the settling defendants, thereby depriving each publisher of the benefit of its bargain with plaintiffs."
The agency pricing model proposed by Apple let the publishers set the final price for a book. Under that model, retailers -- Apple, Amazon and anyone else selling the e-book titles -- get a fixed commission based on that price. In the wholesale model, the publisher sets a suggested retail price for a book and then sells it to a retailer at a discount so the retailer can in turn sell it for a profit -- or discount it, as Amazon was doing to win customers. The government successfully argued that Apple's agreements with the publishers was unfair to consumers because by removing the retailers' control over the final price, publishers were free to raise prices for e-books.
The publishers also agreed with Apple in arguing the government remedies are overly broad. "Plaintiffs seek to regulate every one of Apple's content offerings, even though there is no connection whatsoever between those businesses and the Court's findings in this case. Plaintiffs would prohibit Apple from entering into or maintaining "any agreement with any E-book Publisher or supplier of any other form of content (e.g., music, other audio, movies, television shows, or apps) where such agreement likely will increase, fix, or set the price at which other E-book Retailers or retailers of other forms of content can acquire or sell E-books or other forms of content" for the entire ten -year period of the judgment."
You can read the publishers' filing below. Apple's objections can be found here. And here are the details of the DOJ's proposed remedies. There will be a hearing tomorrow in New York on whether the court should accept the government's restrictions.

Q: Which beans are right for me?
A: We like all the vanilla beans we sell, or we wouldn't carry them. That being said, so-called "Bourbon" gourmet beans, from Madagascar and the nearby islands, have the best reputation for quality and flavor. But the UGANDA GOLDTM beans we are importing have now, we believe, surpassed the best Madagascar beans in quality – they are beautiful, moist and incredibly flavorful. Our customers are raving about them!
The PNG planifolia beans we carry do not have quite the same reputation, but it is a very nice quality bean. They are cosmetically good looking, and they have a very pleasing flavor profile. The PNG tahitensis beans have a completely different flavor profile due to the distinct variety of chemical compounds found in the beans. Try our PNG tahitensis beans in your pastries and other baked goods for their unique, exotic flavor!
Our Indonesia beans are some of the best from that area of the world that we've seen on the market in a long time. They are long, moist and plump. The flavor profile is a little different from the Bourbon and Uganda beans, but they are quite good, and we get a lot of demand for them.
Our newest arrival is from India. We have finally found a source that is curing them in the traditional way, and we like what we see! So we imported a shipment and are now offering them at a promotional price. Try them – we think you will be as impressed as we were!!
The longer beans may tend to have a slightly stronger flavor, since they have been on the vine a bit longer. You will get more beans per pound for the shorter beans, but may have to use fewer beans per recipe for the longer beans.
We suggest you try a few of each type and see which variety you prefer.
Q: How should I store my gourmet vanilla beans?
A: Vanilla beans should be stored in a closed, but not air-tight, container in a cool, dry, relatively dark place. Do not store vanilla beans in the refrigerator or freezer! (The cold will dry them out and may promote a particular type of vanilla mold.) The important thing is that the temperature be relatively constant and that air circulate a bit. We also do not recommend vacuum-packing, as that can result in the beans' getting somewhat phenolic, leading to a highly unpleasant, acrid smell.
We have recently been recommending that the "best practice" is to store your beans wrapped in wax paper, and kept in your food pantry in a closed, but unsealed, cardboard box (such as the mailing box they arrived to you in).
Q: How long will gourmet vanilla beans remain fresh?
A: Stored properly, gourmet beans should remain moist and easy to work with for at least six months, many times quite a bit longer. If the beans do dry out a bit, you can place a half of a small potato in a jar with them to soften them for use. You can also soften them a bit by placing them in some warm water or milk just before use.
Our certfied organic Extraction Grade 1 vanilla beans should have essentially an indefinite shelf life. The reason is that the flavor components in vanilla beans do not degrade significantly over time; the beans will just get drier as the moisture in them evaporates. So while at some point your gourmet beans may be a bit too dry to slice open and use in the kitchen, you can always use them for making vanilla extract or vanilla sugar. [Click the following links for our recipes for making your own,
home made vanilla extract or vanilla sugar]. Since our extraction-grade vanilla beans are already fairly dry, they should remain "potent" for a relatively long period of time. In fact, even after vanilla beans have been used for extract, they can often be used again, with some added, fresh beans, to make some more extract in a second "extraction."
Q: What about vanilla extract? How should I store it, and how long does that stay fresh?
A: Vanilla extract is actually like fine red wine, it gets better with age! So you can keep vanilla extract essentially indefinitely. Again, we suggest you keep it in a cool, dry, relatively dark place; like any other flavor product, the flavor will degrade if exposed to extreme or variant temperatures, moisture or direct sunlight. Remember pure vanilla extract is 35% alcohol (by FDA regulation), so treat it as you would a fine liqueur!
Q:What exactly is Bourbon vanilla?
A: Originating on Bourbon Island (now called Reunion Island) in the Indian Ocean off the East Coast of Africa, the process developed there for producing the best vanilla beans in the world now refers to beans grown and cured on Reunion and the nearby islands: Madagascar and the Comoros Islands.
By far the most important of these is Madagascar, which produces more than 60% of the world's vanilla, and where these finest of vanilla beans, known as Bourbon vanilla beans come from.
We also carry the finest Bourbon-style (*) vanilla beans from Uganda - our UGANDA GOLDTM Super Premium Vanilla Beans, which are fast becoming world-famous for their superior flavor (see some of our client's comments on our UGANDA GOLDTM beans on our testimonials page).
(*) Recently, it has become common to confuse the term Bourbon by using it to refer to the plant-variety vanilla planifolia, which is the most common "type" of vanilla beans grown and produced around the world. The other type of vanilla commonly sold and used in recipes is Tahitian vanilla, which comes from the plant-variety vanilla tahitensis, and is produced in Tahiti itself and Papua New Guinea, or "PNG". As we have explained above, this is an incorrect usage of the term, which refers to "geography," that is, where the beans are produced, rather than the plant variety. We have attempted to preserve the correct usage by designating the vanilla planifolia beans we offer as "Bourbon-type" vanilla beans.
Q: How does Bourbon vanilla differ from Tahitian vanilla?
A: Bourbon vanilla beans come from the fruit of an orchid plant of the variety, vanilla planifolia, and are rich in the chemical compound vanillin, which, along with more than a hundred other organic compounds, contributes to its unique flavor profile. It's the flavor most associated with vanilla, that is used in ice creams and vanilla desserts.
Tahitian vanilla beans actually come from a completely different orchid plant variety, called vanilla tahitensis, which has very little vanillin content but is high in certain "anisyl" compounds, which impart a more fruity or floral flavor to food. Many pastry chefs like to use Tahitian vanilla in recipes such as fruit tarts because of its lively, exotic flavor.
Q: What is single fold vanilla extract vs. double fold vanilla extract?
A: The vanilla extract that can be bought on the supermarket shelf is called single fold extract. The government (through the FDA) actually regulates the amount of vanilla beans that must be used in order for a product to be labeled as Pure Vanilla Extract.
In the case of single fold vanilla extract, it's a little more than 3/4 pound of vanilla beans per gallon of alcohol - that's right, vanilla extract is 35% alcohol, or 70 proof!
Double fold vanilla extract, used more by commercial bakeries, contains double the amount of vanilla beans per gallon of alcohol. It is more expensive, but you get more vanilla flavor for the amount used.
Click: Pure Vanilla Extracts for a further description of Amadeus' exclusive, private-label Certified Organic Pure Vanilla Extracts.
Q: How much pure ground vanilla should I use in my recipe?
A: First, it is important to remember a teaspoon of ground vanilla is a "dry" measure, whereas a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract is a "liquid" measure. So there is already not an exact equivalence between the two.
We have received anectodal information over the years that folks who are using ground vanilla in recipes calling for a certain liquid measure amount (say, ¼ or ½ tsp.) of pure vanilla extract find they get the same effect from a roughly equivalent amount of ground vanilla. But we believe that is just useful as a "rule of thumb," because the amount of vanilla flavor imparted to a recipe by ground vanilla will vary based on what other food and spice ingredients are included in it, and what type of baking/cooking (method and time) is involved - or if the recipe doesn't call for heating at all (for "raw food" advocates).
Remember also, Amadeus' pure ground vanilla is a very high quality product, made from only Grade 1 extraction-grade beans, so it has a lot of flavor in it. Most ground vanilla on the market is made from leftover or damaged beans that could not be sold as whole beans -- either "gourmet" or extraction-grade -- and so can be very low in flavor components such as vanillin, the principal flavor component that gives most vanilla its characteristic flavor. (Click here for more information on our pure ground vanilla.)
We recommend you experiment a bit and satisfy your own taste, and then keep a record for future use. If you have any anecdotes to share with us on your use of our pure ground vanilla, please contact us!
Q. What is that white substance that I see on the tips or surface of the beans - is that mold?
A. Unfortunately, it might be mold, but do not throw your beans away - they are still good!
While vanilla beans historically have rarely been susceptible to mold issues, we regret to report we have recently been experiencing some instances of mold appearing on our Madagascar and Uganda gourmet vanilla beans. From the best information we can gather from long-time colleagues in the vanilla business, this is most likely due to over-pollination of the vanilla vines in the field, thus weakening the root stock, and making the beans more susceptible to infestation. The growers and collectors have also apparently been picking the beans too soon and not curing/drying them properly, which can also promote mold growth.
Needless to say, we do our best to put all the vanilla beans we receive through a Quality Assurance inspection, and will not ship any beans before visually examining them. It does happen, however, in spite of our best efforts, that the mold doesn't appear until the beans get into the hands of a customer, sometimes within just a few days, and sometimes as much as a few weeks or months later -- and even if they are stored in ideal conditions.
Here is the best information we have gathered from reliable sources regarding the white vanilla mold we have been seeing recently:
One last comment: the white substance that appears on beans is not always mold. Sometimes, due to temperature and humidity conditions, or how the beans are stored, the vanillin in the beans (vanillin being the principal flavor component in vanilla beans that gives them their characteristic vanilla flavor) will actually crystalize out to the surface of the beans. You can see this in the picture of vanilla beans we have at the top of our website - see the white spots and lines on the beans on the far right side of the picture? This is a good thing -- it shows the high quality of the vanilla beans that they have such a high vanillin content! So if the white substance appears more "crystalline," than "fuzzy," or "spongy," it is probably just vanillin, and the beans are just fine. If you warm the beans up a bit, the vanillin will usually melt back into the beans. But you can use them just as they are, as well.
If your beans do go moldy within a short time after your purchase, please contact us to let us know, and, if you wish, we will process an exchange or refund. [We cannot guarantee the freshness of your beans past a reasonable amount of time, however, so no claims will be accepted more than 30 days after purchase, or if your beans show any evidence of prior use, alteration or adulteration.]
THREE FAQ's About Our Certified Organic Grade 1 Extract Vanilla Beans
Q1. I just got my order of Organic Grade 1 Extract Vanilla Beans from you and they are all dried out, shriveled and kind of brittle. They look terrible - not anything like vanilla beans I've gotten from the store or online. Is that the way they are supposed to be?
A. Other vendors often sell less-than-nice "gourmet-grade" beans as "extract-grade" beans – when they have dried out to the point they can't really sell them as the best-quality gourmet- (or "prime"-) grade vanilla beans any more. They often call them "Grade B" beans on some of the websites we have seen.
The Grade 1 extract vanilla beans we sell are "true" extraction-grade beans – that is, they have been cured and dried specifically for making pure vanilla extract – which is what we use them for – making our own, premium, certified organic pure vanilla extracts.
So the "short" answer to your question is, "Yes, the way you got them is exactly how they are supposed to be!" [Click here to read the description we give on their specific page on our site.]
Click on the photo at right to enlarge; click the "x" in the upper right-hand corner to close.
Q2. Okay, maybe so – but I got a bunch of pieces of beans – and not that many "whole" beans with my order. Is that normal?
A. For any particular order, it is certainly possible you will get more "pieces" than whole beans. Because the beans are so brittle (due to how dry they are), they may have broken into pieces during the shipment from Uganda to us, or when we packed and/or shipped them to you.
The important point is, that what they do not lose when they break into pieces is the flavor components in the beans, that is, the chemical compounds that create the vanilla flavor that will "extract out" into the alcohol when they are used to make vanilla extract. That's why these beans are great for making home made vanilla extract—not what they "look like" or how much water is in them (which makes them look better and gives that "oily" sheen to the surface of gourmet-grade beans). The longer beans or pieces will actually degrade in the same way as shorter pieces during the extraction process, so you would find little difference there, either.
In fact, when we do a commercial extraction, we actually chop up the beans into smaller pieces before we begin the process – it's like "small ice cubes" vs. "large ice cubes" – the extraction process actually goes faster with the smaller pieces. So that's actually somewhat of an advantage of your getting the smaller pieces than larger ones!!
Q3. But these are so dry I won't be able to split them open and scrape out the "caviar" inside. How am I supposed to follow the recipe I've gotten off the internet (or out of my favorite cookbook) for making home made vanilla extract?
A. Splitting these beans open and scraping the insides is actually not necessary (or even desirable) when you are using extract-grade beans to make home made vanilla extract. You may want to refer to our recipe for making home made vanilla extract, which you can get to by clicking here.
As you can see, you merely need to place the beans in with the vodka "just as they are" and the flavor will extract out of them just fine! In fact, as I indicated above, the extraction will actually go faster with smaller pieces.
As for the caviar—you really only get that in "gourmet-grade" beans. It is just a mixture of the seeds inside the pod with the moisture (which is just water) from the bean, mixed with the other flavor/chemical compounds inside the bean. Because there is very little moisture (i.e., water) left in these beans, the seeds are dried into the pod (just like with raisins vs. grapes). If you only used the scraped-out insides of the beans to make your extract, you would be wasting all the flavor that is contained in the outside pod, of which there is plenty!
We hope this additional information helps. We can virtually guarantee that if you will put aside your disappointment at what these really great extract-grade vanilla beans "look like" and use them in your vodka to make vanilla extract with them, you are going to be very pleased with the result (just as our other customers have been who write us all the time – you can read what they have to say on our
testimonials page).
With all that being said, if you are not happy with the beans you received, please feel free to return them. We can exchange the extract-grade beans for nicer looking gourmet-grade beans, or if you prefer a refund, we can arrange that, too. We want EVERY ONE of our customers to be happy with the vanilla you buy from us! So if you want to exercise either of those options, please contact us by telephone at our office (our contact information is at the bottom of this page) or click here and fill out the Contact Request form. We will do our best to accommodate you.

As a publisher, I really appreciate reviewing books first capture my eye with clean and clear page design (typesetting). When simple clean fonts are chosen with structured and organized page elements meeting basic design guidelines. When photos, charts, samples, and images stand out on a page as independent elements, but don't overwhelm the page making it difficult to continue reading, this marks a respect for the reader, making the learning process easier. This clear type of design seems to be a standard at Family Tree Books. Their titles The Family Tree Guidebook To Europe: Your Essential Guide To Trace Your Genealogy In Europe, 2nd Ed. and The Family Tree Problem Solver : Tried And True Tactics For Tracing Elusive Ancestors are great examples. There is a third book published by this group, which we have not previously reviewed but is worth a look, that continues this simple but elegant design model, The Family Tree German Genealogy Guide: How To Trace Your Germanic Ancestry In Europe. Of course, its not all just about the layout. The content matters, and to that we give credit on this new German book to its author, James M. Beidler.
The Family Tree German Genealogy Guide: How To Trace Your Germanic Ancestry In Europeis your standard guide to research German ancestry. According to the cover, this book teaches you how to:
- "Retrace you German immigrant ancestors' voyage from Europe to America
- Pinpoint the precise place in Europe your ancestors came from
- Uncover birth, marriage, death, church, census, court, military,and other records documenting your ancestors' lives
- Access German records of your family from your own hometown
- Decipher German-language records, including unfamiliar German script
- Understand German names and naming patterns that offer research clues"
The concepts taught and examples given in this book aren't necessarily new. However, these ideas, lessons, and tips are relatively thorough and well thought out. Putting this guide into practice in your own Germanic research would be easy, and you are very likely going to find some ideas as new to you. Plus, as a new book, all the resource lists will be fresh and up to date, including any websites.
German research has many unique challenges, which you probably already know. Taking advice from experienced researchers, such as author James M. Beidler, can only help your progress. So, whether you are new to German research, or seasoned in your own right, you may just find something new and useful in The Family Tree German Genealogy Guide: How To Trace Your Germanic Ancestry In Europe.

Integrity Problems at Interior's Science Integrity Program?
One sign of problems came when Interior's Inspector General office launched what seemed to be a ham-handed investigation, later dropped, into activities of the scientist who sounded the alarm on polar bears losing habitat to global warming. Now Interior has fired one of its scientific integrity officers — who is defending himself by saying he was just doing his job.

Dear Ted:
Were Ashley Greene and Ian Somerhalder every truly together? After seeing pictures of Nikki Greene and Ian at the Scream Awards it made my day and they would be just such a damn hot couple...but I don't know if Nikki should touch anything that Trashley has had!
Dear Vamp Crossover:
Way harsh on A-babe, don't you think, Mizz? But here's the deal: yes, Ash and Ian were def cozy at one point, but they're both totally over it these days. A.G. is way into her sitch with Joe Jonas, duh. I could see Nikki and Ian working (at least for a while), too. We know those Twilight kiddos don't mind a love triangle. Like, at all.
Dear Ted:
We are both fans of Joe Manganiello. Please tell me your opinion of a film starring Joe and Kristen Stewart. Do you think there would be chemistry between the two? I read that he did security for the band, Goldfinger. Don't you think Joe could play a hot bodyguard for Kristen Stewart?
Dear Casting Coop:
The Bodyguard remake, you mean? Good stuff, babe! If not just hilarious, we know Joe and his washboard abs could definitely play the intimidating bodyguard and K.Stew can do rock star just as good as Joan Jett herself. So, let's make this happen, already.
Dear Ted:
First Rihanna was just planning Katy P.'s hen night, then she's one of her bridesmaids, then she's her maid of honor? I highly doubt she's her maid of honor. Katy has a sister! Any other celeb guests invited to the Perry-Russell Brand wedding? What about Taylor Swift who Katy is "so close" with?
Dear RSVP Swiftly:
Just because you're fam doesn't mean you lock in the top bridal party honor. Anyway, Ri-Ri couldn't make it either way, so a maid of honor was in need. But no, T.Swift was not in the running. She's way too busy these days pimping out her album and possibly getting cozy with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Dear Ted:
What do you think of 17-year-old, raccoon-eyed wild-child Taylor Momsen flashing her boobs on stage recently? When actors (adults) take pictures on a set it's scandalous, when a minor flashes the audience in real life is normal? If you look at Lea Michele and Cory Monteith in real life they don't have wild behavior (drugs, DUI, drinking...).
Dear Not So Little J:
To be fair, she did have tape over her ta-tas. Which I assume she thought made it classy. It's all just so lame, which is why I don't bother running stories on TayMom's antics. They all seem like such desperate cries for attention.
Dear Ted:
Has Cristiano Ronaldo been a Blind Vice? He had public scandals yet you hardly talk about him. What gives? I mean he's hot, talented, got a bit of an attitude but not a single word about my guy crush. Please write a segment about him!
Dear Futball Fiend:
Don't you just think he and all his scandals come off as...a tad icky, d? Sure, the dude can wear the hell out of a pair of undies, but he comes off more greasy than goss-worthy, no? Unless you count the part about him pretending not to know English in bed—when it comes in handy, that is.
Dear Ted:
I was wondering about Justin Long. It feels like he's only famous for being Drew Barrymore's on-again, off-again BF—that can't possibly be stimulating? Any secrets from her past he wouldn't know about?
Dear Longing for Loving:
Don't forget those Mac commercials. Really stand-out work, don't you think?
Dear Ted:
I'm a huge fan of Nicki Minaj, and I get the feeling she's hiding plenty. Anything on her?
Dear Minaj-à-Trois:
Nick isn't exactly hiding anything in her sexually adventurous lyrics, but she loves to keep it a mystery, that's for sure. Love that she's becoming a gay icon in the rap community though and isn't afraid to talk about it!
Dear Ted:
I just went to see The Town and though Blake Lively's acting was quite good something else got my attention, her boobs can't be real right? They're way too big for her figure. Movie magic or doctor magic?
Dear Breast in Show:
They're the real deal, all right. Why do you think she's so proud to show them off...all the time.
Dear Ted:
Love the respectful way you do your job! Quick one for you: Is Shia LaBeouf's B.V. similar to the stuff we're always seeing him get busted for in the papers (drinking, anger management, etc.), or is it way more under wraps? More interesting now because of the potential Carey Mulligan split! Thanks in advance.
Dear Optimus Vice:
Arguably similar, yes, but kept way more under wraps than any late-night visits to Walgreens.
Dear Ted:
I notice that there seem to be different degrees of Vice that you talk about, with some of them being really nasty where lots of people could get hurt by the B.V.'s behavior, while others seem more the self destructive kind that are more sad than evil. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst, where would you put the Supernatural guys? I like them a lot, and I'd hate to think they were total jerks, so I hope the number is small.
—Jayne Jayne
Dear Strange Range:
I'm confused on what exactly your scale is, so I'll say a six? Or a four? They're not (overly) hurting anyone, really, if that's what you're worried about, J.J. They're more or less nice dudes.
Dear Ted:
Regarding my recent point on gay bullying, I think you're missing the point. We need to focus on bullying, not gay bullying. You really think gay kids are bullied more than anyone else? More than fat kids? Come on! All you're doing is making gays out to be weak, like they can't take it. It's not like gay suicide is an epidemic, it just makes headlines. As I said, I know two teens who killed themselves, and one was because of the bullying she was getting after having sex with a black guy. Suicide is a problem, and it begins with self-esteem, which is why we need to support a strong family dynamic (and I don't mean one that doesn't include gay parents). Kids who bully most likely have no discipline at home and they are not taught how to behave by their parents. Kids who kill themselves think their lives aren't worth living and need support at home. It's a problem, but not a gay one. But since you're gay, I can see why you're sensitive about it.
Dear Look Who Wrote a 5-Billion Word Letter:
Not sure I'm the sensitive one here, babe. But yes, let's just agree to end all bullying, OK?
Dear Ted:
I am confused. What's wrong with Reese Witherspoon? I thought she was just a nice girl with a couple of kids?
Dear Spoon Fed:
How dare you underestimate R.W. like that! Tho, to be fair, that's exactly what she wants.
Dear Ted:
Why did you call Gwyneth "Fishsticks" Paltrow back in the day? Is it because, all along, you knew that one day she'd start her own food and "wellness living" blog that would be universally mocked? What a genius you are, Ted!
Dear The Poop on GOOP:
As I told Gwyneth's equally famous publicist, Stephen Huvane, when he finally called me about it one day. The reason I came up with Fishstick (no s, darling) years ago was because Gwyneth always left me "a little cold, and she's so thin, hence, the fishstick comment." I have since met Ms. Paltrow and changed my mind. But since that website fiasco, I dare say I'm about to resurrect her moniker. I'll leave it up to you readers whether or not I do.
Dear Ted;
Can you confirm if Toothy has a new beard?

My worst nightmare became reality
Ever since I began preaching in 1984, I've had a recurring nightmare. I get to the pulpit, look out over the congregation, open my Bible…and find no sermon notes. I panic. I can't breathe. I can't think. I have nothing … Continue reading

STAMFORD — A teacher twice accused of sexual harassment is scheduled to return to his post at the Academy of Information Technology & Engineering, according to complaints sent by a second teacher to Superintendent Winifred Hamilton and Director of Human Resources Stephen Falcone.
The teacher, who is not being identified because it is not yet known whether he has been formally charged with wrongdoing, is accused of sexually harassing both the teacher who wrote to Hamilton and Falcone as well as a student at the high school.
The Advocate will have more on this story as it develops.

Over the years I have attempted podcasts. I always want to do more and should do more. I have gone with some of them just rambling on about R.E.M. and other times just letting the tunes speak for themselves. Time is my biggest constraint. However, these would seem to be some of the more relevant and enjoyable ones over this time. At some point I want to get into more detail about what tracks were included but for time and energy I thought I would just post them here and maybe you will find a chestnut.
1st Ever Podcast - This was my first attempt at a podcast with a potpourri of songs and talk.
Early Songs - A podcast that I did relating to some of the oldest tunes.
Murmuring - Done after the Murmur Deluxe Edition release including the missing 4 tracks that were not included on the Larry's Hideaway Show that was part of that release.
Fables Podcast - Looking at some of the finer moments of the Reconstruction Tour.
R.E.M. and Politics - Before the Presidential Election I put this together of some of R.E.M.'s more political and socially conscious recordings over the years.

Submitted by: Juli Hughes, County Director MSU Extension Service – Choctaw County
Reports are coming in from all over Mississippi concerning Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) symptoms on tomatoes and peppers. Symptoms include a downward cupping of the upper leaves, a purple to black discoloration on petioles and stems, and eventually a rough feel and appearance of the leaf surface. Affected plants should be removed from the garden and destroyed.
The virus is spread by thrips and leaving a diseased plant in the garden serves as a source to infect the rest of the plants. Replace diseased plant with varieties that are tolerant of the virus. Tomato growers may want to replant with Bella Rosa since it is both heat and TSWV tolerant.
Southern peas Thrips are attacking emerging Southern peas causing the leaves to be discolored and crinkled. Flea beetles have also attacked emerging peas and butter beans causing small circular holes in the leaves. Treat with an appropriate insecticide if more than fifty percent of the plants are damaged.
Pumpkins Pumpkin growers should be arranging seed for late June to early July planting. Anyone trying to grow very large pumpkins for Halloween should be planted by the end of June since the very large varieties can take 120 days to mature. Remember that pumpkins take a lot of space in the garden and the plants do not tolerate shade.
Virginia Buttonweed Virginia buttonweed once established in a lawn is very difficult to control since it reproduces by seed, fleshy roots and from stem fragments. It is a spreading perennial broadleaf weed with opposite, lance shaped leaves producing small, four-lobed white flowers when in bloom that eventually develop tiny football shaped seed pods. This past winter's milder temperatures and an early spring has given Virginia buttonweed a furious start in invading many lawns already this year.
Virginia buttonweed favors moist to wet areas, but can spread throughout the lawn. Pre-emergent herbicides provide only fair control of new seedlings and are ineffective from spreading by vegetative plant parts. Therefore, post-emergent herbicide applications are the most effective means of management.
Products containing phenoxy (hormonal) type chemicals such as 2,4-D, mecoprop, dicamba, fluroxypyr, etc. are effective if applied several times during the growing season. The sulfonyl-urea type chemicals including chlorsulfuron, metsulfuron, trifloxysulfuron, sulfosulfuron, etc. are also very effective at extremely low use rates.
Caution should always be taken to calibrate application equipment and apply herbicides accurately to prevent turf injury. Read product labels carefully and completely as not all products can be applied to all warm-season turf species. More specific information on controlling weeds in home lawns can be found in the turf section of Extension publication Weed Control Guidelines for Mississippi.
This publication can be downloaded from the Extension web at www.MSUcares.com.

pathauto does not create aliases for commerce product-display content types (?) during bulk update of content aliases. Other content types (articles, basic, and other ones I have created myself) are updated with aliases. Is the configuration of commerce module actually preventing this, or is this a pathauto bug?
Comment #1quantos CreditAttribution: quantos commented
I've just run into the same problem. The same issue for me re-worded is:
How can I set my product display pages to use a typical [node:field-x:parent]/[node:field-x:name]/[node:title] ?
I.E. as above, there doesn't seem to be an URL alias available.
Dat right?
Comment #2quantos CreditAttribution: quantos commented
@laurence. not sure if this will help you but after reading a fair few others posts on this I settled using the token/entity API combination which allowed me to use the following replacement pattern: [node:menu-link:parents:join-path]/[node:title]
This pattern has the advantage of not need a product display url as long as you already have defined menu paths, which I did. A further advantage is that you can change the menu path without having to update the pattern which is the reverse of what I was trying to do originally, which was to find a way (alias) I could overwrite to create a new menu/url path.
Might not help you, but it did me.
