Electric Cars
I have owned electric cars since 1990. When the Exxon Valdez spilled millions of gallons of oil off the Alaskan coastline, I was very much on my high horse about it, ("Damn those oil companies" etc) until I realized that I was part of the reason that the Exxon Valdez was out there in the first place – my car needed gasoline as much as the next person's to take me from one place to another in my daily life. With the advice of my friend Ed Begley Jr., I bought an old Datsun that had been converted to a full electric car. I plugged it into a 110 outlet in my garage, and I got 25 miles on a charge. A couple years later, I bought a red VW Rabbit that went 50 miles on a charge. In 1996, I became the proud driver of the first EV1 leased to the public. The EV1, by GM, was the first mass produced, from-the-ground-up (as opposed to being a gas car whose internal combustion engine is replaced with an electric motor) electric car . Mine was forest green, got 70 miles on a charge, and handled like a Porsche. A couple years later, improved battery technology in the EV1 allowed me to get 100 miles to a charge and then 120 miles to a charge. It was my only vehicle, and served 95% of my driving needs. When I needed to go farther, I borrowed Ian's Toyota Prius.
In 2002, GM announced it would not re-lease its cars, and it would not allow anyone to purchase them either. 800 EV1s, except for a few going to museums or universities, were going to be dismantled and crushed. Perfectly functioning cars, each with over $13,000 of state and federal subsidies in them, destroyed. Even though hundreds of drivers like myself wanted to keep our electric vehicles, and there was a waiting list of over 5,000 people for the cars, GM claimed no one wanted them. On Kyoto Day, March 16, 2005, electric car supporters gathered in front of the GM Training Center in Burbank, California where the last 78 cars were being held before being transported to the Arizona crushing facility. A 'round –the – clock vigil began, in 4 hour shifts, to protect these cars from being secretly shipped out. Within 2 days, 1.9 million was raised to buy each and every one of those cars, with the promise to absolve GM of any liability or warranties, but GM ignored our offer. It was the rainiest winter in 100 years for Los Angeles, but there was never a moment when someone wasn't camped out on the sidewalk in front, keeping an eye on the parking lot filled with beautiful, doomed EV1s.
After 10 days, a car transporter came and took away 8 cars, and the vigilers could only stand there, impotent. I had volunteered for several 5am-9am shifts, but switched to 9am- noon when I realized the transport trucks tended to come at that time. On day 27, during my shift, 2 transport truck arrived and began to load up trucks. The phone tree swung into action and by noon there were a dozen protesters outside the facility. With fellow EV driver Collette Divine in the passenger seat, I drove my Toyota RAV electric car to block the transporters as they attempted to leave. This resulted in a 2 hour standoff, where 20 Burbank police tried to get us to back down. Finally, a locksmith was called and he jimmied open our doors and the police led Colette and I to the paddy wagon where we were taken to the police station and booked. Media outlets from all over recorded the civil disobedience, and soon the story of GM crushing electric cars was reported all over the world. Alas, that couldn't save the EV1. Collette and I were released after 5 hours with orders to show up in court in a couple weeks, and the next morning I was out doing the 9am-noon shift again when EIGHT transporters showed up and loaded up all the remaining cars as fast as possible. GM was done with the protesters, the media, the EV1. Our fearless leader, Chelsea Sexton, with EV activist David Lane, followed the transporters to the Arizona crushing facility, so we know they met the same unlucky fate as hundreds of their EV brethren.
Josh Needle, an EV advocate who is also a lawyer, represented Collette and I gratis (thank you, Josh!). We were sentenced to 80 hours of community service for the environmental or voting organizations of our choice. I did my time with The First Vote, The Electric Car Association and Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, and on October 31 had done 100 hours. My charges were expunged from the record at that time. Colette volunteered for Treepeople.
The activists involved with trying to save the EV1 (www.saveev1.org) did manage to save the Toyota RAV4 electric car from being crushed (www.dontcrush.com). The Ford Ranger EVs have also been saved, as have the EV Ford Think!s (www.thinkelectric.org), but the electric Honda EV+ and the Nissan Ultima are seen less and less on the roads. To learn more about the struggle to save the electric car, look for the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? (www.evconfidential.com), premiering at Sundance in January, 2006.
I am now involved with Plug in America (www.pluginamerica.com) , an organization that supports electric cars and is pushing for a plug in hybrid (PHEV), a car that runs fully electric for 50-100 miles, and then switches to gas if you need to go farther. Since most trips are shorter than 40 miles, this will mean that most Americans will rarely be using the gasoline in their cars.
I continue to drive my Toyota RAV4 EV, which I love (but not as much as I loved my EV1, I have to admit). Ian drives the Toyota Prius, a hybrid vehicle (an electric motor helps propel the car alongside the gas engine, and the gas engine turns off at speeds lower than 15 mph, which means no pollution at stop lights and in stop'n'go traffic. The car also burns much more cleanly than a regular gas car). We also share, with my sister, an old truck that runs on biodiesel (www.biodiesel.org) , which we keep at our ranch home in central California.

The Seattle PI had a story today regarding the infamous Pit Bull and
breed bans.
The battle continues between responsible Pit Bull owners,
the public's perception of the breed, and legistation enacting
restrictions on this breed. Many people who have
been attacked by the breed or have had their pet attacked
join in the push for a ban on the Pit Bull.
Legistative Measure
The legislation has declared the breed as "potentially
dangerous. in some zip codes around the U.S..
The breed may be banned completely in some areas
or the owner may be required to procur and maintain
liability insurance on the dog, require specific containment at the
owner's residence, and in some cases
require the dog be muzzled when in public.
The Hit List
The philosophical approach is to address the deed not
ban the breed. Based on information from the site,
www.dogsbite.org ,
other breeds on the "bad dog" hit list at the moment
include the Rottweiler, Chow Chow and wolf hybred.
Will your breed be next?
Homeowners Insurance
You may be aware that insurance companies have
their own hit list of what breeds they will or will not cover
in a homeowner policy. You may want to contact
your own insurance company to see if your breed
is on the list. Some insurance companies won't cover
any breed of dog and you are on your own,
should that dog bite someone.
Tenants and Landlords
If you are considering renting an apartment, condo
or home, your landlord may institue their own breed
ban and not rent to you. Landlords who rent to
people with any dog that menaces or bites someone
or goes after a pet off the property, may also be named
in a lawsuit should one be filed.
Traveling with Dogs on the "List"
Should you parent any of the "potentially dangerous" breeds
and choose to include your dog in travel plans you may wish
to research any hoops you need to jump through
at your destination including lodging.
That research must include your airline.
I personally do not have an issue with any breed and
have trained all the dogs on the hit list and have even
evaluated many dogs on the "bad dog" list for pet
therapy work.

Fathers will be treated to a steelband fiesta on Sunday when the Port of Spain City Corporation continues its ongoing 100th anniversary celebrations.
The theme of the event is "The City of Pan—100 years stronger". Among the highlights will be performances by artistes from Tobago and the RBC Redemption Soundsetters. The steelband extravaganza starts at 3 pm and culminates with a jamboree at Woodford Square, Port of Spain, at 8 pm.
To date, Port of Spain Mayor Raymond Tim Kee has been spearheading the celebrations which includes 12 electoral districts. Opposition MPs Marlene McDonald is responsible for Port of Spain South and Patricia McIntosh is in charge of Port of Spain North/St Ann's West.
Deputy Mayor Keron Valentine, said in a telephone interview on Wednesday: "Fathers will be in for a great treat. We have 26 top steelband orchestras parading through the streets of east Port of Spain starting on the Piccadilly Greens. Steelband started around the bridge. We will be hosting a contingent of about 60 people from Tobago. They will be portraying the traditional Tobago wedding, with the characters like the bride, groom, bridal party and fancy sailor. RBC Redemption Soundsetters will be accompanying the contingent."
Valentine added: "We are asking our burgesses, constituents and the public at large to come out and enjoy an evening of entertainment and celebration of this great milestone achievement in the life of our capital city. The parade brings you to the city centre. We are hoping a number of fathers will come out to the event."
Asked about the funding for the 100th anniversary, Valentine said: "We have written to the corporate sectors. It has been coming in slowly. We are working within a budget. But not as fast as we expected." Tim Kee had complained about inadequate funding.
Meanwhile, Valentine said: "We had the Miss City of Port of Spain. We hosted 300 children at MovieTowne. We had the Junior Calypso Competition on Disaster Management. The celebration is moving apace. We are asking the public to support us."

Do you know where the largest and oldest state organic organization is in the Unites States?
It's in Maine!
The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), formed in 1971, is the country's longest existing and biggest state organic organization in the country. MOFGA mission is to help farmers and gardeners: grow organic food, fiber and other crops; protect the environment; recycle natural resources; increase local food production; support rural communities; and illuminate for consumers the connection between healthful food and environmentally sound farming practices.
MOFGA led the charge to pass a GMO labeling law in Maine. In fact, they started off this year in the office of Maine's Governor, Republican Paul LePage. They were there to deliver hundreds of postcards encouraging him to sign the bill previously passed by Maine's legislature with near unanimous votes. Governor LePage signed the bill the next day, and Maine became the second state in the country to adopt labeling requirements for foods derived from genetically modified crops and animals.
Well done, MOFGA!
One of MOFGA's largest programs, The Common Ground Country Fair, occurs each year on the third weekend after Labor Day in Unity, Maine. The Common Ground Country Fair which started in 1977 as a "harvest celebration" will celebrate its 38th year this September. Each fall, almost 60,000 people travel to attend the fair.
Along with lots of information about the fair schedule and exhibits, the MOFGA website also has some great information on how fairgoers can start preparing now.
And, as you might expect, these recommendations are also great for our planet.
One of the ways that MOFGA suggests to prepare for the fair is to order seeds and start plants for your garden. Then, enter your results in the Exhibition Hall displays or offer them to the Common Kitchen to help feed volunteers during the Fair. Grow a row to create common ground!
Folks can also work with their local schools and teachers to plan a student field trip to Common Ground. What a fun way to teach children about farming, recycling, and all sorts of other ways to be good stewards of our earth.
Another suggestion is to tune-up your bicycle—and your body—by cycling to the fair. A suggestion heeded by nearly 600 cyclists every year. The fair program even includes valet bicycle parking.
MOFGA and the Common Ground Country Fair are unique and creative in their approach to teaching people of all ages how to love our mother earth. You can read a bit more about the history of this historic organization here.

San Antonio baby found in December awaits burial
Published 11:31 am, Saturday, February 1, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — An infant found dead at a San Antonio recycling plant in December still awaits a proper burial, a child advocate says.
Meanwhile the child's mother, 25-year-old Nidia Alvarado, remains in Bexar (BAYR) County Jail charged with capital murder in the death of the newborn child. Bond is set at $2 million.
Child advocate Pamela Allen tells the San Antonio Express-News (http://bit.ly/MJVC69) that authorities are requiring authorization from the child's biological father in order to release the body.
However, Allen says that the biological father may never be identified.
Alvarado relinquished her parental rights at a jailhouse meeting. An arrest affidavit says she admitted to strangling the baby and leaving him inside a duffel bag on a conveyor belt at the San Antonio recycling plant on Dec. 23.

Who on Google Earth is killing the world's fastest bird of prey?
NewsBirds of Prey NewsWednesday 16 November 2011
Shocking new research by the RSPB and the Northern England Raptor Forum has revealed the true extent of persecution of peregrine falcons - the world's fastest bird - that attempt to nest on England's grouse moors.
The paper is published in the international scientific journal Biological Conservation. The study used Google Earth to map the characteristic 'strip burning' that is typical of moorland managed for intensive grouse shooting. This map was then combined with nearly three decades of nest monitoring information that had been collected by teams of dedicated volunteer monitors from raptor groups across the north of England.
Comparisons of the fortunes of peregrine falcons breeding on grouse moors with those breeding in other habitats in northern England revealed that breeding success was half that in other habitats, for example on other moorland, open country and forested areas. Only a third of nests produced young on grouse moors.
Dr Arjun Amar, of the The Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology at the University of Cape Town is the paper's lead author. He was formerly an RSPB scientist. He said: "I was shocked at just how low the bird's breeding output was on grouse moors; they were significantly less likely to lay eggs or fledge young."
He added: "The few birds that did lay eggs or fledge young on grouse moors did just as well as those breeding off grouse moors, which suggests that a shortage of food supplies can be ruled out of the equation.
The only logical explanation for these differences is that persecution is rife on many driven grouse moors."
In the 1950s and 1960s, the global population collapse of the peregrine alerted the world to the long-term effects of pesticides, such as DDT, which built up in the food chain and caused the peregrine to lay eggs with dangerously thin shells.
The UK's peregrine population thankfully recovered after these pesticides were withdrawn, and ultimately banned.

Brew coffee 19th century style with a balancing siphon
For anyone interested in why the linked dealer calls this the "Royal Belgium": 25 years ago there was a small company in Belgium that designed and manufactured a line of handcrafted balance brewers. One line, based on 19th century designs, they called the "Royal". In the early 2000s, as their business started taking off, Chinese companies flooded ebay with cheap knockoffs, putting the words "Royal" and or "Belgium" in the listing to suggest you were buying the Belgian-made brewer. Eventually the Belgian company succumbed and went bust.
Thanks to the Internet Archive, you can still see Patrick's original brewers:
Those look pretty cool. I'd never seen one of those before. That's pretty sad how a company can go bust just because of Chinese knockoffs. I've heard of companies losing customers and sales, but going completely bust?
$200 hand-made? Even without competition, I can't see how'd they make a profit.
Gorgeous, though.
How long does it take to make a cup?
Great video
Not only that, but how many people have this much space to dedicate to something like this? Totally cool, but also totally impractical. Yes, I know. To some people, impractical is a major part of cool.
The whole point of this brewer is place it on the dining table so your guests can marvel at its operation.
Side note, Calpernia is the best looking 19th century coffee brewer I've ever seen!
So how long until vacuum brew sweeps (sucks) across Brooklyn?
Damn. That's a price point that makes me go.... "Hmmm, I'm sure I can find a spot for that somewhere..." and then use it about as often as my French Press or my Stovetop Espresso thingy (i.e. - Maybe once a year)
Yay, it's up! Thanks to Andrea James for the article and video, Aaron B. for the gift of the coffee maker, and thanks to the coffee gods for the deliciously sweet cup this thing brews!
It is suggested that one pour in water that is already boiling, or at the point of boiling, to speed the process. Boiling that amount of water over the spirit lamp's flame would take a very long time. Overall, it takes 10 minutes or so from start to finish, but I believe it is meant to be a show on the dinner table for guests, not a daily morning ritual. =)
Huffing Boing Boing
To be fair, it's meant to be more a thing to show off when you've got company over than something used every morning.
It's nice, but a bit like a large fancy fondue pot: handy to have for parties, but unless you host parties quite often or manage to get a nice one for free or cheap from a thrift shop or relative, it's probably not worth the investment
Things like this are why there are things like Sanka.
To me, this thing is just aching for a modern update. I paid about $200 for a pour over style coffee maker (the Brazen) that is okay but not nearly as badass looking (though it is pretty badass looking). It takes up nearly as much space, though more vertical. This thing seems to avoid the issue that the Brazen has of not having a removable water filter. Even though I don't have a lot of fancy parties, it looks like it makes a good cup of Joe. If you could replace the heat source with an electronic coil, I'd buy it.

The Union civil aviation ministry has asked for Rs 19,911 crore (Rs 199.11 billion) as budgetary support from the government for Air India in the 12th Plan (2012-17), a part of the Rs 23,000 crore (Rs 230 billion) a Group of Ministers (GoM) had said should be infused till 2020-21 in the ailing state-owned airline.
"But these recommendations are conditional and the airline will also have to meet certain targets to get the fund," said a senior civil aviation ministry official, who did not want to be identified.
The GoM on reviving Air India recommended infusion of Rs 23,000 crore of equity into the ailing airline by 2020-21.
This was apart from the infusion of Rs 3,200 crore (Rs 32 billion) in the past two years, increasing the airline's equity base to Rs 3,345 crore (Rs 33.45 billion).
The airline is already committed to raise a separate sum of Rs 13,052 crore (Rs 130.52 billion) through 'Internal Extra Budgetary Resources' to fund aircraft acquisition plan during the period.
It is to take delivery of at least 20 Boeing 787 Dreamliners in this time. Of the 27 Dreamliners on order, it was to take delivery of seven in the current financial year, but the government is yet to approve this.
The Cabinet has to also decide on infusion of another Rs 5,400 crore (Rs 54 billion) before March-end.

Keira Knightley graces the July 2014 cover of Glamour magazine and within its pages she dishes on her year-old marriage to James Righton as well as about her upcoming film in which she stars with Mark Ruffalo and The Voice's Adam Levine--Begin Again.
"When James proposed, I just thought, 'Well, never done that before.' It seemed like a fun thing to do," Knightley said.
The Anna Karenina actress will soon appear once again on the big screen in Begin Again in which she plays the role of Gretta opposite Adam Levine in the role of Dave Kohl, Gretta's 'no-good ex-boyfriend.' Knightley says the Maroon 5 frontman did a great job portraying his 'less-than-sweet' character.
"He did play a d***khead very well. Actually, I admire him being so willing," Keira said. "To play a d***khead is quite a big thing when you are trying to break into film and you want to be likable."
The romantic comedy is a far cry from the typical films in which Keira Knightley stars. In addition to Anna Karenina she starred iPride and Prejudicen as well as in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
"[W]ith a feel-good film you are always risking going way too cheesy....But maybe I can have a little holiday where I'm not playing a character who is being destroyed," she said.
Lunch break: Come see Keira Knightley's gorgeous Glamour cover-shoot gallery http://t.co/CSHRBceIgC pic.twitter.com/oKhLRmytQz
— Glamour (@glamourmag) June 10, 2014
It will be fun to see Keira Knightley in a film like Begin Again, and it will be almost as much fun to see Adam Levine play a d**k--well, you know. It's hard to believe the jovial jokester on The Voice has it in him. Fans won't have to wait too long to find out, however, or to see Keira Knightley in a romantic comedy. Begin Again hits theaters on June 27th.
What do you suppose that husband of one year will think of his wife's new role?

Download Days Before Rodeo - Travi$ Scott
Travi$ Scott has changed a lot since his last project Owl Pharaoh from last Summer, from being an XXL freshman to signing with GOOD music and taking direction from talented mentors, he's pushed his music to a new level. The first thing you'll notice is that Mike Dean, Boi-1da, TM-88, Lex Luger, WondaGurl, Metro Boomin, DJ Dahi, J-Hill, and Fki contribute on the proudction side; dark and heavy beats, somewhere between intense experimental and H-Town hip-hop.. Travis is living up to his potential, but I feel like fans who enjoyed his more indie/soft material are going to be disappointed. It's a different style entirely, and although I wasn't feeling every track on the tape (Zombies, Basement Freestyle, Grey), he's earned a lot of recognition from the rap community. I'd expect some remixes to surface in the near future, but until then enjoy the project and follow Travi$ on twitter.

They may sound like new ideas for food and beverage applications, but several sources of dietary fiber have ancient histories. Humans have consumed fiber sources such as chia seed, quinoa and barley for thousands of years.
Their potential in foods and beverages was a focus of the presentation "Lesser known dietary fibers, properties and sources" delivered June 30 during the Institute of Food Technologists' Annual Meeting & Food Expo in New Orleans.
"Each and every culture has different shapes and forms of fiber," said Dr. Sakharam K. Patil, Ph.D., president of S.K. Patil and Associates, a consulting company based in Munster, Ind. "Lesser-known fibers can bring in additional physiology benefits, and of course functional benefits and textural properties impacted by cultural issues."
Availability and cost issues with more common sources of dietary fiber are bringing lesser-known dietary fibers to the forefront, he said. Local sources of dietary fiber may aid in sustainability efforts and improve the cost structure for making such items as bread in the United States, tortillas in South America and pita bread in African or Arabian countries.
"Unless you put dietary fiber in mainstream products using local sources, you cannot meet demand," he said. "It will take a combination of solutions, not just one particular fiber or 10 fibers."
The food industry will need to match consumer preferences with research, availability and benefits of these dietary fibers, Mr. Patil said. A key characteristic might be whether the fibers cause much discomfort or bloating in consumers. The slower they ferment in the lower gastrointestinal system, or colon, the less discomfort they will cause.
Studying ancient cultures
The food and beverage industry may learn from ancient cultures, Mr. Patil said.
"We do not have to go back to our evolutionary past, but we can learn from it and still meet today's sophisticated, diversified ethnic tastes," Mr. Patil said.
Hundreds of years ago Aztec traders and warriors in Mexico ate chia seeds for their nutritional value on long marches, according to Navitas Naturals, Novato, Calif. Both raw chia seeds and chia powder offer 5 grams of fiber per 15-gram serving, according to the company. The grain also includes alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and phytosterols, Mr. Patil said.
"This thing is the world's richest grain, I believe," he said.
Mr. Patil said chia seed already may work in applications for cereals and snacks while other potential applications are under development.
Formulators also may investigate adding quinoa to cereals, pasta, soups and chips. Populations in South America, including the Incas, have eaten quinoa as a dietary fiber source since about 3,000 B.C. Quinoa includes prebiotic fiber and essential amino acids and may help with laxation, Mr. Patil said. ConAgra Mills, Omaha, offers quinoa in its Ancient Grains line.
Barley's history in the human food chain may go back 10,000 years. As recently as two years ago its value as a source of fiber gained validation when the Food and Drug Administration issued a ruling that allows foods containing barley to have a claim that they reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Mr. Patil pointed out Sustagrain, an identity-preserved waxy, hulless barley from ConAgra Mills, is 30% fiber, including soluble fiber and insoluble fiber.
According to ConAgra Mills, 8 grams of Sustagrain barley delivers 2.4 grams of dietary fiber and more than 0.75 grams of beta-glucan. Formulating with Sustagrain barley may help products meet the criteria for an F.D.A.-approved heart-health claim specific for beta-glucan soluble fiber from barley.
Replacing 7% of the durum semolina in pasta with Sustagrain barley may provide a good source of fiber claim, according to ConAgra Mills, while replacing 25% may qualify the pasta for an excellent source of fiber claim. In beverages, adding 9 grams of Sustagrain barley is enough to obtain a good source of fiber claim and also provide 0.75 grams of beta-glucan for a heart health claim.
Cargill, Minneapolis, offers Barliv barley betafiber, a natural soluble fiber from whole grain barley that may be used in foods and beverages. The F.D.A. on Feb. 25 authorized expansion of a soluble fiber heart health claim to include barley betafiber as an eligible source of soluble fiber.
A new patented technology allows for the inclusion of barley, chia, quinoa and other forms of ancient grain nutrition in smoothies, soups, pasta, beverages, bars and baked foods. The U.S. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with FutureCeuticals, Momence, Ill., developed the AncienTrim technology, which creates a dispersible, hydropholic powder.
Fiber on the expo floor
New sources of dietary fiber also were found on the expo floor of the I.F.T. event.
GTC Nutrition, Golden, Colo., launched BioAgave agave active fiber, a plant-derived source of inulin that provides functional benefits to food and beverage applications.
Archer Daniels Midland Co., Decatur, Ill., introduced its VegeFull line of ingredients made from black, red, navy and pinto beans. The ingredients include either 8 or 9 grams of fiber per serving. They also add protein and provide up to a full serving of vegetables in such applications as baked foods, snacks, dips, salads and dry soup mixes.
Novel sources
Listed are some fiber sources discussed in the presentation "Lesser known dietary fibers, properties and sources" delivered June 30 during the Institute of Food Technologists' Annual Meeting & Food Expo in New Orleans:
Sweet potato greens: Researchers at Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Ala., are examining sweet potato greens (Ipomoea batatas) for their high dietary fiber content. They are a byproduct of sweet potato roots, but they are a significant food crop in China, Taiwan and the Pacific Islands. Sweet potato greens have a spinach-like texture.
Fenugreek: Emerald Seed Products, Inc., Avonlea, Sask., has developed technology to isolate the soluble fiber of fenugreek, a medicinal herb, and make it available for use in supplements and functional foods. It also may work as a hydrocolloid. Previously, bitterness, odor and high cost kept fenugreek from being used as a soluble fiber.
Dates: Dates are a big part of diets in the United Arab Emirates. Using dates to replace 10% to 30% of the flour in bread, cookies and muffins may add fiber, said Dr. Isameldin B. Hashim, Ph.D., of United Arab Emirates University in Al Ain. The addition of date fiber may cause the volume of a loaf of bread to shrink.
Try to add insoluble and soluble forms of fiber
When deciding upon a fiber source, food and beverage formulators should avoid thinking of insoluble vs. soluble and instead think insoluble and soluble.
"You need to combine various sources of fiber," said Cathy Peterson, assistant vice–president of applications for Sunopta Ingredients Group, Bedford, Mass. "There's no one perfect fiber out there, whether insoluble or soluble."
Insoluble fiber generally is found in the whole plant cell wall material derived from whole grains, fruits and vegetables, said Dr. Sakharam K. Patil, Ph.D., president of S.K. Patil and Associates, a consulting company based in Munster, Ind. Insoluble fiber is not digested in the gastrointestinal tract and not fermented in the colon. It may give consumers a feeling of satiety or being full and also aid in alleviating constipation.
Soluble fibers are fermented in the colon and may have prebiotic effects or feed good bacteria in the colon, Mr. Patil said. Soluble fibers may provide functional benefits such as texture and water-holding capacities. Inulin and fructooligosaccharides include soluble fiber as do hydrocolloids such as gums.

Find some bookish love with 'Beauty and the Beast'
By by dianna email@example.com
Sept. 26, 2012 at 4:26 a.m.
How do you know if it's true love?
Well, according to my 9-year-old self, you'll know he's the real thing if he gives you a library.
There are a lot of romantic shows out there, but "Beauty and the Beast" has been the pinnacle of romance for me since I first saw it way back when.
Disney took the classic fairy tale about real love and beauty coming from within and made it into a beloved movie in 1991.
A few years later, they took the story of how bibliophile Belle falls for Beast - and his library - and turned it into a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical. I remember scoffing at the idea - how could they have dancing furniture, let alone a library that looked anything like the one on the big screen.
Needless to say, I was a fool to doubt those folks over at Disney.
The musical ran on Broadway for a decade and it's incredible - library scene included.
See, Belle and the Beast don't get along at first, which I guess is understandable since he's keeping her prisoner. They find common ground through books, discovering a world that can take you out of the confines of your life and let you, for a little while, be in someone else's shoes, seeing the world through another pair of eyes. As much as good company - and, you know, true love - taught the Beast to get over being upset about being a beast. I've always thought books must have helped with that. It's hard to stay outside of humanity, to keep your anger and bitterness in place, when you've discovered a way to connect by paging through a book.
The music is even better when heard in person, and it's hard to get over the awe and wonder that comes with seeing a really hairy Beast sing and dance along with Cogsworth, Lumiere and Mrs. Potts.
The show is on tour across the country, swinging through Houston through Sunday. So, go check it out.
Also, those trying to come up with ways to court that book-loving type, get 'em a library. It's a sure thing, according to 9-year-old me.

We've issued challenges to our "green" families and asked them to share their experiences. Challenge #3: A Green Valentine's Day? Vote online for the family that got the most creative with this task!
With our buttery climate and enthusiastic siphoning of water for farming, you'd think it would be a piece of cake to rustle up the ingredients that are made, grown, and raised within a 100-mile radius of San Diego for my world-famous chicken noodle soup. I seized the opportunity to prance over to our Sunday Farmer's Market, grocery bags in hand, to "hunt and gather" for our Green Valentine's Day feast (albeit a few days early, due to the Challenge #3 deadline). My chicken soup will be good for the soul and the heart!
Our Farmer's Market is awesome, and I have seen a fresh chicken vendor (the chickens are fresh, not the vendor) there that has a farm in nearby Ramona. Unfortunately, he chose to take Super Bowl Sunday off from the Market, so I asked around for LOCAL alternatives and was told that Whole Foods would be the next best place. So I shopped for my veggies (carrots and onions) that were grown within 100 miles of San Diego and figured I'd have to bite it, so to speak, on the celery and get it at a grocery store.
How fortuitous that the Sage Mountain Farm booth had my carrots AND freshly picked celery! Wow. It took the farmer, Phil, seven years to figure out how to grow it here. He has been trying for a summer harvest, but as it turns out, when he plants it in the fall and picks it in the winter, it works! It is "Utah celery" and hasn't been lying under misters in the grocery store listening to fake rainstorms for days on end–it is fresh from his farm! I was so ecstatic about the celery that I picked up a bunch of carrots from him, too (on the small side, to be honest, but LOCAL dirt still on them!) and spent $4 of my crock-pot budget.
I found another vendor at the market who sells pasta and beans and such. She had multi-grain, multi-colored pasta from Italy, and I figured BUYING local might offset the international origins of my noodles. Spent $4 on the authentic, colorful Italian pasta.
For an appetizer, I found locally made pita chips by a company that also makes varieties of hummus (Babafoods in Chula Vista), so I picked up a spicy bean hummus and lemon pepper pita chips for $9. Still within my budget, but the fresh organic chicken was hanging over me and my pocket book like a hungry raptor, so I figured I'd better head over to Whole Foods.
The meat counter was bustling, but I got a fellow to help me. "Do you have chickens raised within 100 miles of here?" (He stifles a chuckle, I think.) "No, but our chickens are organically grown, with specific space criteria, no hormones, and 'air chilled.'" "Where are they RAISED?" (I cringe at the word "grown" for creatures that can scream when we smite them.) "In Northern California. We don't use farmers around here, but these chickens are 100-percent organic." I was reeling with this new information, as I was determined to stick with ingredients in a 100-mile radius, and I've come so far with my epicurean delights. Should I fold now or jump back in the car and blow through a quarter tank of gas to make my point? He reassured me that the chickens lead "happy" lives, have plenty of space, and then regales me with the benefits of "air chilling" (with air, you don't get the chlorine and chemicals that you'd get from chilling them with water). As I mull this over, I look at the now-bald chickens that have given up their lives, pecking order, avian dreams, etc. so I can prepare a "local green" dinner for my (at this point not-so-funny) Valentine. Their bumpy pale skin glares at me: Look, we lived our lives out in Northern California as "happy chickens," so you can enjoy us for a meal or two.
I say, "OK, I'll take a small one, so it'll fit in the crock pot." He unceremoniously plopped it on the scale, and before I could say, "What's all that stuff inside it?" he had it wrapped up in brown paper. "It's the innards," he said. I blanch at the thought of reaching into it Monday morning to pull out its organs. Wincing–there's a line behind me now–I ask if he can take them out and package them up separately, so if I get the moxie, I can fry them up for Cashew, my dog. With nary a roll of his eyes he unwrapped the bird to withdraw the guts. "Give them to your dog raw, it's better that way." Yeah, if you don't mind me passed out on the kitchen floor, I murmur to myself. At this point I realize I really have no business eating meat of any kind if I can't stand seeing any inkling of it alive. I am briefly ashamed of myself until he hands me the package and it is $15.64 for a 4.4-pound bird. My now-funny Valentine better like my soup!
Getting my ducks in a row for the chicken noodle soup includes chicken broth, which I had on hand. Strangely, I had three varieties, and I thought the "organic" version would be appropriate. But looking at the label, I saw it comes from CANADA! That would totally blow my mileage on this (I'm pushin' it with a Northern California chicken!) so I'm going to take a gamble and rely on the "organic, air-chilled" chicken to release enough broth to make this delicious. And the Utah celery. And a few prayers to Julia Child and Al Gore.
Stay tuned for how my organic, largely locally grown meal turns out! Will it be worth $36?

finally got to go home (long and pic heavy)
ok here is the long story. I was admitted to the hospital sunday july 21st for high blood presure, I was started on blood presure meds monday and by tuesday they were looking better, I then developed a headache and blurred vision so they transfered me from observation to L&D to start an induction. they gave me cervadil tues night and by midnight I was contracting every 2-3 mins and they were very painful, they checked me wed morning and no dialation the contractions had also stopped so they gave me cytotec. (which they did not tell me was dangerous before they gave it to me) I was on the cytotec wed, thurs and fri morning with no change. they finally decided I needed to have a C-Section. boy was I scared. it took them a few tries to get my epidural in but once they did things moved right along. in recovery my bp started going crazy, it would be normal then 5 mins later would be very high and 5 mins after that would be normal again. well I get back to my room and they tell me how Baby Bella is doing, she was 4 weeks early and had some trouble breathing at first. they had her in an oxygen tent but she was very feisty, was trying to turn over and take the tent off, by 7pm she was off oxygen and eatting bottle feeds. they keep watching my bp through the night and it continues to be all over the place, the next morning they gave me pain meds and had me get up and move around. can you say ouch? yea super painful. anyway I do what they ask and walk throughout the day to help with soreness and to keep blood flowing. over the next 2 days my bp stays all over and my feet and legs start to swell really bad. they put me back on bp meds and procardia for when my bp spikes. the procardia caused me to have migraines so they had to stop giving it to me. my mom who is a nurse and the same hospital I delivered at told the dr she wanted me home and that they were just stressing me out by keeping me in the hospital and not doing anything to treat me. so they finally let me leave. I am still on bp meds twice a day and my legs and feet are still very swollen but my bp's have been much better since I have been home. the swelling and the surgical pain are they worst I have going on. thank god for my mom who helps me every day to get around and take care of my lil one. she is a blessing. Arabella Rose Mashburn has done so well that she came home with me and is doing great.
Congratulations! She is beautiful! And I hope you recover soon! Sounds like being home is the best thing for you. :)
Sorry for the drama but glad it ended on a good note. Congrats!
Congrats on your beautiful baby & take it easy!

You are allowed to have more than one visa in your passport. The visa you use for entry determines what you are allowed to do while in the US and how long you can stay. To enter as a B-1, you will need documentation to show you are truly a B-1 business visitor and not working in the US. You generally will need to show evidence that you are being paid outside the US.

I think you are giving yourself a headache for no reason. Neither of those statuses will allow you to work in the US. If you are entitled to a H-4 status (assuming your spouse or parent is a H-1B), you get to come the US the same. While on H-4 Status, you may not work without USCIS authorization. However you may attend meetings and seminar and the rest of so long as it is not for remuneration in the US. If you must, then apply with USCIS and explain the circumstances; you never know. Good luck!

You are only allowed to be in one status at a time and it would be rare for the consulate to allow you to have two different visas). If you enter in one status you are then eligible to change to any other status for which you qualify. If you do have two visas then leave the U.S. and re-enter on the B-1 for the later activities. To change back to H-4 you will need to leave again or change status. It may be possible to accomplish both purposes while on H-4 but this would need to be determined with more facts. We would be happy to assess his case, advise more specifics on the procedures, timing and fees if you want to set up a consultation (in person or by phone) with me as indicated below. We do charge for consultation but the consultation fee is then credited 100% toward the fees for your case.

Why would you want a B visa instead of an H4? You can only be admitted on one visa at a time. If you activate a different visa, your prior visa is terminated. You do not need a visa to travel within the United States.

12 Tips for Building Muscle
Patience is a must when you're trying to "put on muscle". Maybe you want to impress some lucky girl or you have a reunion to go to. Putting on muscle is like saving money, if you're broke its going to take time to build up a nice bank account just like it takes time to put on muscle. Follow these proven tips for the quickest way to build muscle.
What Makes Muscles Grow
If you want your muscles to grow than it's a must to apply the most amount of stress to the muscles. Your muscles grow when they are at rest not while in the gym. It's very important to get lots of Nutrients and Rest after a good training session. The muscles are built of Protein and water, make sure you're getting about 1.5 or more grams of protein per pound of body weight.
Top 12 Ways To Put On Muscle
1. Having a Better Muscle Mind Connection
When it comes to building muscle it's all about targeting and isolating the muscle you're trying to work out. A good way to tell if you're getting a good mind muscle connection is by starting off with lighter weight and feeling that specific muscle work. When you can't feel that specific muscle work anymore you've gone to heavy. Lower the weight back down and continue with the exercise. I strongly believe that the this is one of the quickest ways to build muscle.
2. Focus on your form and have a purpose for each exercise
Have a purpose when you're going into the gym. Don't just go through the motion and exercise. Really put your heart and energy into the work out and get something out of it. Having good form will keep you from injury and build muscle faster.
3. Train one muscle group before moving on to a different muscle group
If you're training your bicep and triceps together then, do all of your bicep exercise before moving on to your triceps. If this was your work out for the day than do all of these bicep exercise with 45-60 sec rest between sets before moving on to the triceps exercises.
4. Add more Sets and Reps
Sometimes it takes overtraining in the gym to shock the muscles into growth. Try adding an extra set or 2-3 more reps on your sets. Switch up your workout routine every 4-6 weeks. The reason for this is to keep the muscle from getting used to the same movements.
5. Shorten your rest periods to 45 -60 sec
Your muscle have recovered about 70 percent after 45 seconds and fully recovered after about 3 minutes. Waiting only 45 seconds will force more muscle fibers to come in to help other muscle fibers which will cause your muscles to grow. Keep your workouts under 60 minutes to keep from catabolic hormones breaking down your muscles.
6. Plan out and prepare you meals for the whole day or week
Cooking your meals the night before or in the morning before you start your day will make it easy access to calories and protein throughout the whole day. More calories means more weight gained and muscle gained.
7. Get a work out partner to help push and spot you in the gym
Having someone push you in the gym will help you go harder in the gym and encourage you to go heavier and help build muscle.
8. Eat every 2-3 hours
Training is 100% and Nutrition is 100% you can't do one and expect results. You need to feed your muscles every day.
9. Change up your exercise every 4 weeks
Change up your workout routines between 4-6 weeks. Your muscles will have no reason to grow unless you force them to by putting them under high demand of stress and resistance. The weight your lifting should increase over time, this is called Progressive overload.
10. Get enough Protein
Protein is your ticket to gaining muscle. Eat about 1.5 g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Drink a shake right after your work out.
Good Protein Sources
. Chicken
. Steak
· Peanut Butter
· Fish
· Nuts
· Whey Protein

11. Use compound Exercise
Doing compound exercise is a must when trying to build muscle fast. They use many muscle groups at one time and the releases growth hormones in the body. An example of a compound exercise would be squats or dead lifts.
12. Avoid Cardio
Doing cardio is good if you're trying to loose fat, but when you're trying to gain muscle doing too much cardio will actually release catabolic hormones and break down your muscle tissue.

Hey Matt, my wife got a rocket stove book on kindle for us to do some research and get ideas to build our own rocket mass heater. It referenced your half barrel system. We really like your half barrel system and think it may be right up our alley. We have built a 24x24 addition and thought that it would be just what we could do to heat it and make a nice bench. Other than your two videos I've seen on youtube I have not seen any plans or anything to build one. We live in the upper peninsula of mi and have some friends that have put rocket mass heaters in their home, they find it wonderful. I can't claim to know much about rocket heaters, but I'm pretty crafty and good with tools. Just looking for guidance on how to cut and where to place my tubes how to vent the exhaust out of the house. You also mentioned about lining the barrel with brick for when it burns away.
Thank you for any advice or direction,

Lance Reddick Teases: More Observer Action Ahead!Matt Richenthal at . Comments
As previous Fringe spoilers have revealed, multiple Observers are on the way.
In a recent interview with E! News, series star Lance Reddick previewed this, and one other, storyline on the way. He said:
"We've got a real page-turner of an episode coming up that's all about the Observers. And there's a whole episode about Broyles revisiting a case, a killer, that's the one that got away for Broyles. That episode introduces my ex-wife (Karen Holness) and talks about why we got divorced, and what my relationship with Fringe Division was in the past, versus what it is now."
This week's episode of Fringe is a major one: it will showcase Olivia's return trip to the alternate reality she visited in May.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — For the most part, the second round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee ran like a well-oiled machine, with youngsters rattling off the letters to words such as "usufructuary" and "febrifugal" without a hitch.
Then there was Skye Merriam, the rare speller who had the misfortune of hearing a word she didn't know — one more familiar to sore-muscled adults than bright and lively kids. The 11-year-old sixth-grader from Driggs, Idaho, was given the pain reliever "ibuprofen" and guessed "ibuprofine." She made a sad, slow walk after the round to find her parents, who offered hugs and comfort and coaxed her into a halfhearted fist bump.
Finals broadcast tonight
The oral rounds of the 84th edition of the bee began Wednesday morning, with 275 spellers ages 8 to 15 from across the United States and around the world competing. The scores were combined with Tuesday's written test to determine who advances to the semifinals this morning. Both of Colorado's spellers are among the semifinalists.
The finals will be held tonight, broadcast on ESPN, 6:30 to 8 p.m. MDT. The winner receives more than $40,000 in cash and prizes. The semifinals will air on ESPN this morning.
All but 38 of the competitors to approach the microphone in the second round spelled their word correctly, many of them after asking the usual questions about definition, language of origin and pronunciation. Among the more amusing words: "harrumph" and "ballyhooed."
One of the most suspenseful moments was provided by Marcus Glenn Tecarro of Loves Park, Ill., who was clearly stumped by the word "ineluctable," an adjective that means something that's not to be avoided or escaped.
The 14-year-old eighth-grader paused and paused again. Pronouncer Jacques Bailly used the word in a humorous sentence, connecting it to tax evasion, causing many in the audience to laugh. When Marcus spelled the word correctly, he let out a sigh and feigned falling over backward in relief.
"Hand" writing a help
Arvind Mahankali from New York punched the air when he correctly spelled "melange," while Caleb Miller of Monroe, La., was one of several who used the tried-and-true method of writing the word on his hand as he spelled it. Surjo Bandyopadhyay of Lusby, Md., grabbed the microphone as if he were going to sing instead of spell; he initially looked perplexed by the medical word "lidocaine," then blurted out "I got it" and spelled it with a smile.
Nerves compete with aptitude under the bright lights of the stage, and the spellers who have been here before have the advantage of knowing the routine. Two-time participant An tony Joseph of Fairmont, Minn., greeted Bailly with a "Yo" when approaching the microphone and comfortably spelled "deceptious." The top returning finishers from last year had no problems with their words. Joanna Ye, a 14-year-old eighth-grader from Carlisle, Pa., had a warm "Hi, Dr. Bailly" greeting for the pronouncer before spelling "wickiup," a type of American Indian hut.
Joanna tied for fifth in 2010, as did Laura Newcombe of Toronto, a 12-year-old eighth-grader who is trying to become the first Canadian to win the title. Laura handled the word "equinoctial" with ease.
Laura's top Canadian rival, Veronica Penny from Rockland, Ontario, seemed to have some trouble with the proper noun "Fauntleroy." The 13-year-old seventh-grader pronounced the word several times amid long pauses before spelling it very slowly — and correctly.

Forty Years of Uranium Resources, Production and Demand in Perspective
The Red Book Retrospective
The biannual Uranium Resources, Production and Demand, also known as the "Red Book," was first published in 1965 and has since grown to be a recognised world reference on uranium. Over the 40 years of its existence, the Red Book has collected an impressive quantity of official data supplied by governments. This Red Book retrospective was undertaken to collect, collate, analyse and publish all of the key information collected in the 20 editions of the Red Book published between 1965 and 2004. Additionally, every effort has been made to fill in gaps in the record to provide the most complete and exhaustive information possible. As a result, the Red Book retrospective gives a full historical profile of the world uranium industry in the areas of exploration, resources, production, reactor-related requirements, inventories and price. It provides in-depth information relating to the histories of the major uranium-producing countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany (including the former German Democratic Republic), the Russian Federation (including the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and the United States. For the first time, for example, a comprehensive look at annual and cumulative production and demand of uranium since the inception of the atomic age is possible. Besides reporting and documenting the historical data, expert analyses provide fresh insights into important aspects of the industry including: the cost of discovery, resources to production ratios and the time to reach production after discovery, among others. Taken together, this Red Book retrospective provides the most complete record of the uranium industry publicly available, dating from the birth of civilian nuclear energy through to the dawn of the 21st century.Click to Access:

Civilian use of nuclear power was initiated in the United Kingdom in 1957 with the opening of the Calder Hall 1 nuclear reactor, with generating capacity during the first year of 50 megawatts electric (MWe). From that modest beginning the industry grew to 435 operating reactors with a generating capacity of over 359 400MWe in 2003, when nuclear power accounted for 16% of the world's electricity output (Figure 2.1). In addition, in 2003 there were 33 reactors under construction in 11 countries. Generating capacity grew at an average annual rate of about 20% between 1956 and 2003. Though masked by the scale in Figure 2.1, generating capacity expanded at an annual rate of about 55% between 1957 and 1973. By comparison the rate of growth between 1973 and 1990, the peak building years, was about 13% annually. Between 1990 and 2003, the average annual rate of growth in generating capacity was less than 1% per year. The leading countries in terms of nuclear generating capacity in 2003 are listed in Table 2.1.

You have various options, as I explained above.
Why are you so worried about TCP handshakes? TCP handshake requrires three TCP packages. A simple GET request adds one more package, and the response uses round about one package for the HTTP headers and then two packages for every three KBytes of data. (Assuming we are talking about ethernet, PPP or PPPoE). As soon as your response is larger than a few KBytes, the TCP handshake does not really matter. If you (ab)use HTTP as a way to transport tons of tiny messages in some RPC protocol, TCP handhake really matters.
Today I will gladly share my knowledge and experience, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so". ;-)

Why opposing the gay lobby is not anti-gay
by Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D.
This article was first published at Theblaze.com on March 24, 2012.
Earlier this month the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's (GLAAD) "Commentator Accountability Project" included me on their list of people who deserve special scrutiny before they can be engaged as commentators on the marriage debate. But it is organizations like GLAAD that need to be held accountable for the impact of their rhetoric on the public debate.
According to the GLAAD website, I have held myself out as someone who purports to be an "expert on the lives of LGBT people." Evidently (and unbeknownst to me) I have devoted my career "making life more difficult for LGBT people." Although these extreme statements have since been scrubbed from the site, the organization continues to claim that "Bias is Not Balance." The undeniable implication is that my views are baseless. GLAAD's systematic policy of slapping negative labels on their opponents without actually engaging them in debate reduces the quality of discourse in the public square.
Out of the hundreds of thousands of words I have spoken or written, GLAAD found a grand total of four quotes as evidence of my supposed "extreme animus towards the entire LGBT community." One of these is that I say redefining marriage will marginalize fathers from the family, because fathers will be considered inessential. GLAAD acts as if this were self-evident evidence of anti-gay bias.
This is very peculiar, as the claim that redefining marriage will marginalize fathers from the family is not a statement about the behavior, character or motives of same sex attracted people, male or female. It is simply my forecast of one consequence of redefining marriage. I believe it with all my heart, and have said so on numerous occasions, citing a variety of reasons and evidence. I am not the slightest bit ashamed of this forecast.
My training is in economics. Economists examine how changes in public policies alter people's incentives, and hence their behavior. So it is natural for me to ask, What will happen if we remove the gender requirement from marriage? I wonder what society will look like after 30 years of agents of the state making statements like this one from the Iowa Supreme Court: "The traditional notion that children need a mother and a father to be raised into healthy, well-adjusted adults is based more on stereotype than anything else."
You may disagree with me about how likely it is that making marriage a genderless social institution will marginalize fathers from the family. Or you may disagree with my assessment of the harm it would do. But you cannot deny that this is a serious question about the possible impact of changing the law and culture of marriage.
