Google again came up with their new improvement in Google Search. With each of their improvement Google is getting more specific regarding the keywords which can be searched over it. You can take an example of some of the food items, or any video or any image or any discussion, they have their special tab for searching them precisely. In this post I will be telling you about the new tab which has been added in Google Search Page recently.
So, now when you will opening Google Search then you will an extra tab on the left hand side of the Google Search as mentioned in the snapshot above. This option has been added for all the research people who are mad about patents as now you will not have to rush for the patents on General Google Search, rather just click that new option and then you will get more specific results. With the help of this option you will be able to search among all the U.S. patents and thus get the whole result page related to patents.
I am sure that sooner they will be introducing few more changes and then you will be able to access all the web services offered by Google for your accounts will be one a single page or I should say that you will be able to pick any of the documents or any of the file from their web-services.
I know that this might be a small change but then it will help the users in research to help a lot. So, go on sharing this piece of information with your friends and then please let us know about your own views and suggestion or if you have got anything new related to this post then just put them down in the comments sections and we will be glad to share it with all the readers on your behalf (if we found it genuine and useful). I am sure that this will really help you to work intelligently on internet. So, keep reading and surfing!!!

Forests and the Adaptive Management Plan for the California Cap-and-Trade Regulation
On October 10, 2011, the California Air Resources Board released a draft plan for managing any adverse impacts to forests which might occur as a result of forest offset projects associated with the California cap-and-trade rule. The key elements of the plan include identifying relevant sources of forest data, analyzing the data to determine if an adverse impact is caused by the cap-and-trade program, identifying potential actions to remedy the impact, and a commitment by ARB to take action.
TWS has submitted recommendations for improving and further developing the draft plan (see below). Forests and wildlands play an important part in the fight against climate change. By keeping our forests as healthy as possible, we improve their ability to adapt to a warming world and ensure that forests are able to continue providing us with clean water, clean air, carbon storage, and flood protection.

Well, I will admit that yesterday I broke my doctors bed rest rule.
I couldn't help it!
We had season passes to the Georgia Aquarium and they expired Saturday. We haven't used them pretty much all summer either because of my pregnancy and Travis no longer being around during week days… Going to the Aquarium on the weekend was usually out of the question, since saturdays at the GA Aquarium are nuts!
After a fairly easy morning Saturday and a run to the bank, I mentioned to Travis that it be fun to go… even though we hadn't planned on doing much at all that day.
He was for it and so we ate a quick lunch, packed up my diaper bag with a few snacks… and made our way to Atlanta.
Owen slept on the way, which was needed :)
I knew going that Id be very slow…
I totally have a preggo waddle going on now and in crowded spaces I feel very much in the way. Despite the slow walking (it was slowwwww – had to tell the kids "slow down" a lot) – I think I did just fine.
Contractions were minimal yesterday.
Cramping was there but only towards the end.
My ankles stayed a fairly normal size.
and back pain didn't kick in until later that evening.
So! we were good :)
I'm glad we went… and Im even more glad that it wans't a total disaster. While the aquarium was crowded… it was tolerable. We also got to see the Dolphin show (included in our passes, so no extra cost) – As cheesy as that show is (sorry) – its always so neat to see the dolphins and the kids faces light up. Owen however was scared during the performance this time. He requested a spot on my lap and at certain points would cover his face with his cute chubby hands. So so sweet. No tears were shed :)
So… I broke my bed rest rule… but this one time, it was a good call.
I will make up for it as the week goes on.
& one fun thought… the next trip we will make to Atlanta our mini van will be full (for the most part) ;-) – while driving home I was playing with instagram and snagged this photo in our "bubble mirror"… It made me smile.
(You can see Taite and Owen knocked out. Caleb wide awake, as usual.
Once baby comes, Caleb will move to the back with Taite)
Hope everyone has had a great weekend.
I'm thankful ours has gone well… and the pregnancy despite the sleepless nights (Im battling major insomnia people!) – I feel regardless pretty good as of the last 48 hours.

SUMMER OF LOVE 40 YEARS LATER / Goodbye innocence, hello hippies! / The party starts as rock 'n' roll ethos, LSD inspire beatniks and beckon an influx of free spirits to San Francisco
Published 4:00 am, Monday, May 21, 2007
Before the Summer of Love in 1967, there was the Beat Generation, whose counterculture ethos was defined by Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." The 1957 publication of Kerouac's stream-of-consciousness novel drew thousands of like-minded searchers to San Francisco's North Beach, the heart of Beat culture. Once LSD and electric guitars were added, a new psychedelic underground swirled throughout the city. Those who were there recall the transformative power of the psychedelic experience.
David Getz/Big Brother and the Holding Company: I was 25 years old and I really thought I knew where it was at, that I really knew how to teach painting and what painting was about and all of that. ... And then I dropped acid. I met Peter Albin and I was in a band. I thought when I first got in the band -- this is before Janis (Joplin) was in that band -- I thought, "This is fun, I'll get laid a lot, be more of a part of this great scene that's going on, starting out, and have some fun playing music." ... Within a year after I joined that band, I wasn't painting. I wasn't teaching. I didn't get hired again. My hair was long. I started to look different than everybody.
Alton Kelley: I came out originally in the winter of '64 and settled in on Pine Street. Went up to the Red Dog Saloon with the Charlatans. They were putting the Red Dog together. Then we came back and said, "What are we going to do now?" That's when we started the Family Dog. I was one of the four original members. We got Bill Ham to do a light show. We rented Longshoreman's Hall, threw a few dances and found out we weren't very good businesspeople.
Michael Rossman: Also in late '65, the rock dances started happening, the first public events of what came to be called the countercommunity or, in this local case, the Haight-Ashbury.

Before more than a thousand long-haired weirdos showed up at the first Family Dog dance at Longshoreman's Hall, nobody had any idea there were even that many hippies around town. The dances proved popular and quickly moved in late '65 to the Fillmore Auditorium. That's where Bill Graham began presenting weekly shows in January 1966. Before long, Chet Helms opened weekly dances at the Avalon Ballroom at Sutter and Van Ness, and the golden age of the San Francisco rock underground was in full swing. Dancers flocked to the halls, grooving beneath pulsing, throbbing psychedelic light shows. Large portions of the audience were under the influence of LSD. The bands often were, too. Helms recognized these tribal rites as Dionysian revels.
Bob Weir/Grateful Dead: I left home when I was 17 and stepped into a situation where I could make a good living, or at least a decent living, in a communal environment doing what I always wanted to do, which was make music. It was just wonderful to step from home into that environment and be able to live that way. I think maybe a lot of other people, maybe they weren't quite as young as I was, but still it was the best of all possible homes for us. We were the young, artistic community and we didn't have to struggle quite as much as young artists normally do, because there was a big market for what we had to offer right there in the neighborhood.
Stewart Brand: In January of '66, we did the Trips Festival and had something like 10,000 people over three nights. At that point, nobody had any idea there was that many hippies in the world, never mind the Bay Area.
Revolution was in the air. Free thinkers turned to social action. A Haight-Ashbury group calling itself the Diggers began to serve free food every day in the Panhandle, made from scraps scavenged from local supermarkets and restaurants. Soon, the Diggers opened the Free Store on Haight Street, where everything in the store was given away.
Peter Berg: Emmett Grogan walked into the San Francisco Mime Troupe when I was the assistant director and Judy (Goldhaft) had been there a long time. Billy Murcott had been reading a book about (Gerrard) Winstanley, the leader of the English heretical, communalistic group -- and very Christian, by the way -- called the Diggers. So Billy said, "Well, you know, dig, like to dig, dig this, man." Together they made a manifesto that they tacked up on the front door of the Mime Troupe on Howard Street, next to that journalists' bar, the M&M. This was like (Martin Luther) tacking the 95 Theses on the cathedral door. ... A lot of people collaborated on the ideas -- "everything is free, do your own thing."
Judy Goldhaft: That was the Diggers' phrase. ... We opened the first Free Store right after the manifesto.
Peter Coyote: We wanted to use our improvisatory skills to create theatrical events that no one would know was theater. So Peter Berg created the Free Store, in which not only were the goods free, but so were all the roles: manager, owner, boss. People would come in and say, "Who's in charge here?" and we'd say, "You are." So, if you just stood there and looked stupid, there was no sense blaming the Pig or the Man or the System for your shabby little life. You've been offered a gift of the imagination and you dropped the ball. By the same token, if you said, "Oh, I'm in charge, great, let's clean this place up, it's filthy," we'd do that. In retrospect, the Diggers were probably a four-year performance art piece designed to trigger a fundamental dialogue about power and money and class and status and who owned what in American society.
Wavy Gravy: I clicked my heels three times and found myself standing in a corner of the Digger Free Store on Haight Street. There was a swing in the window, an actual swing, inhabited by a spunky 7-year-old, celebrating her blackness and swinging in the sunshine. Into this timeless moment, came these words loud and clear, into the very ear of my ear: "Wanna help?" In what seemed merely a moment, I had helped to fold every last garment like magic. No surprise, my fellow folder was Emmett Grogan.
Other stores along Haight Street, such as the Thelin brothers' Psychedelic Shop and the rainbow-colored underground newspaper the Oracle, gave the growing social experiment an even stronger sense of community. Before long, the Haight had its own free medical clinic, a first in the country.
Dr. David Smith: My parents died in the '50s, when I was in my teens. I inherited some money and I bought an apartment building to have a home. I didn't have any brothers or sisters. That's where I lived. That was basically right on the outskirts of the Haight, but I had absolutely no social activism. I just happened to be a drug expert on the outskirts of the drug revolution. All that Hippie Hill stuff just started. It just totally boggled my mind. I took LSD and had a spiritual experience. I had a cultural transformation and ended up starting the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic. After I took LSD and got involved in the counterculture, the air moved and you became one with the world. Suddenly, you had to help the poor. It was this consciousness transformation that happened during that time.
The dance halls were serving a nightly cultural renaissance, where old bluesmen or celebrated jazz artists shared the stage with the new psychedelic San Francisco bands, everything from Bo Diddley to Lenny Bruce.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti: Before, up through the Human Be-In, the Haight was really sort of innocent, clean. I remember the early Jefferson Airplane, which was very lyrical. I was going to Fillmore quite a bit. (Poet) Andre Voznesensky and I performed in between sets of the Jefferson Airplane at the old Fillmore. Bill Graham generously offered us the stage. I was reading translations of Andre's poems. He was doing them in Russian. There was a light show going on.
In January 1967, the crowd for the Human Be-In, a Gathering of the Tribes, organized by Haight-Ashbury communards, swelled into the tens of thousands, filling the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park for a day of rock music, poetry, Buddhist chants -- a day of peace and music where the Hells Angels took care of lost children. A Harvard professor named Timothy Leary issued the marching orders, admonishing the crowd to "turn on, tune in and drop out."
Michael McClure: I was sitting onstage next to Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder. Timothy Leary was up there, and Lenore Kandel. I sang one of my poems, "The God I Worship Is a Lion." It was the first great congregation of the young seeker people, known as the counterculture, who were drawing together to create their own huge family, and to celebrate it in their own huge tribe, and to celebrate it with music and dance and song and psychedelics and some real good political things.
Ferlinghetti: I was onstage right next to Allen Ginsberg at the Human Be-In. I had an autoharp, which I was playing in those days. Luckily, they never allowed me to perform because it would've been a disaster. There was a sea of 10,000 faces. Don't know how many they actually counted. I remember, in the sunset, this lone parachutist descended on the crowd.
The March 1966 Life magazine cover article on LSD led to the psychedelic drug being made illegal by October. But the genie was out of the bottle. Word about the Haight-Ashbury had spread -- not least by finger-wagging mainstream media -- which inadvertently gave the burgeoning movement the best advertising it could have. People were already starting to trail into town in early 1967.
Getz: It was a time when, in the beginning of '67, where the band had moved back from living together in a house in Lagunitas to having our own places in the city. I was living on the outskirts of the Haight, in the Fillmore, a little apartment I had. It was kind of a nice time in the beginning of '67, before all the influx of all those people, still Lagunitas. People knew each other. You could go down to Haight Street and see your friends, walk around, go to the different dances. My life had really shifted into a place where I was completely consumed with the business and the music of Big Brother.
Country Joe McDonald: Everything just started changing. For me, I think it changed because it was the Bay Area. The Bay Area allowed that sort of thing to happen and it could happen, magically. And I was changing with it. I was very, very happy. It was very interesting. The music was new. The clothes were new. The drug thing was interesting. To me, it had an erotic sexual thing, which was the opposite of the repressed thing that I grew up with in the '50s.
Kelley: But those first years -- '65, '66, '67 -- it was really a great neighborhood, the Haight-Ashbury. Everybody knew everybody. It was really fun. Everybody was really enjoying themselves. It was sort of the opposite of the beatnik era. They all dressed in black and were on kind of a downer. We all came out of the rock 'n' roll world and not World War II. We all had this background behind us of Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
Margo St. James: That's when I got my nun's habit from Dick Gregory. He sent it to me from New York. So I was having my own Summer of Love and happening and running my salon, if you will. The neighbor lady didn't like me laying topless in my little garden because, on her deck, she had a 16-year-old boy. I had a black girlfriend living with us, Barbara. This lady next door was kinda antsy. She'd be watering her flowers up there and make sure to squirt me with the water.
One day I put on my nun's habit and walked down to Haight Street. The florist ran out and gave me some flowers. He thought I was from the Good Shepherd. He said, "You're doing such good work." Then the neighbor lady's husband passes me on the street and I thought, "Oh, I'm busted now." But he didn't recognize me. I had on the Mammy Yoakum shoes, the rimless glasses with, of course, the whole habit. That was my contribution to the Haight, just providing a place for people to hang out and meet. I had Steve Mann living with me. Frank Zappa came by to see Steve. Dr. John came by, Mac Rebennack. I had a grand piano there, so we always had live music there. I loved it.
Rossman: The thing about weed and political action, in that era, when you sucked on a joint, you inhaled not simply some smoke, but you inhaled this whole complex of cultural attitudes, not only opposition to the war, but a liking for madras bedspreads, an inclination to taste new and interesting foods, to feel less guilty about cutting class, to disrespect authority more because they were trying to make you a criminal for having these experiences and changes of perspective. When you made millions of young people criminals this way, on the narrow issue of whether they could put this plant's smoke or that plant's smoke in their bodies, you corrupted their attitudes about a whole lot in the culture.
Julia Brigden (Girl Freiberg): From my perspective, it seems to me that LSD had a lot to do with the mind-set at least that me and some of my friends had. That sort of changed perspective on everything and added this spiritual side that not having grown up in a church -- my family looked at church as a sort of primitive hangover -- not having been exposed to any sort of religion, it was really exciting to be exposed to LSD and realize that there was this whole bigger context out there and we this little tiny piece of the great web of life.
-- Tuesday, Part III: As soon as the school year was over, they began to head for San Francisco. Summer would arrive early that year.

After hearing lots of good things about this blush, it became one of the top in my wish list. It's a shame though Milani is not available in Netherlands (or Europe, come to think of it). I found some of their products at boozyshop.nl but for some reason they just put Milani stuff in the website but marked them "sold out" every time (what's the point?).
Then one day I thought I had enough products to justify a purchase at cherryculture.com ;P It's a US-based website that sells drugstore products. I ended up ordering two NYX butter glosses, two Jordana eyeliners, one pencil and one liquid; and Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso :) The price for the baked blush is $6.99 but they had a 20% off code so it was basically $5.60 (or around €4.20).
First off, packaging. Milani products came in gold coloured packaging. Their baked blushes are housed in a small but thick compact with the blush colour visible through the transparent plastic. The first pan is the blush, then you can flip it open to reveal a mirror and a small brush. It's quite convenient for on the go, though I have to admit that I haven't tried applying it with the brush it came with. I use my MAC 168SE (a short handled one from a holiday collection) to apply it either at home or on the go. A little something that irked me about the compact was the raised curve of the transparent plastic on the lid. It's not that it bothered me during application or anything, I just think it's unnecessary.
Luminoso is a light peach with golden sheen. That might sounded like my description for NARS Orgasm or MAC Stereo Rose ;P might be because I mostly only own and wear peach/coral blushes. Most people compare the baked blush to MAC mineralize blushes mostly because of the pattern on the surface. I only have Stereo Rose which is quite close in shade with Luminoso. I think Luminoso has a bit more peach to it, though. Also the sheen is more golden than Stereo Rose. Both gave the right amount of sheen, not too sparkly. In my opinion it can easily replace each other because it's not so much different upon application.
I found Milani's baked blush formula to be very soft which may result in being a bit powdery. When I swiped my brush on top, I always find some powder flying about. The concave surface of the blush didn't help with this as well. I just tried swiping lightly (which is hard for my heavy handed self ;P) also because it is very pigmented.
As I've mentioned earlier, I applied this blush with my MAC 168SE. I was using Sigma F40 for my blushes but lately I think it splayed too easily. I like using MAC 168 (even though it sheds sometimes) because it's smaller, firmer, allows more control and holds its shape better than F40, made it easier for detailed placement.
It is pretty, soft, pigmented, affordable and the best part (for me); it stays on for so long. I wear this for twelve hours straight with minimal fading. This is without any setting spray at all on my relatively oily skin (I said relatively because it is autumn now, the best season for my skin :)) I think the last time I wore a blush this long was when I sprayed Urban Decay All Nighter on top. I don't think I can say enough good things about the staying power. I am simply amazed.
Bottom line, I would definitely be repurchasing this product if/when I ran out. I'm thinking about purchasing other shades but I haven't got any reason to for now. This shade worked really well with my current NC20-25 skin. :)

Erin, Spring 2007
Erin is currently a senior majoring in English and minoring in women's studies. She is from Concord , MA but has also lived in Dallas , Tokyo and Chicago. Outside of school she enjoys music, reading, running and exploring DC. Erin is excited to graduate and hopes to continue working in the world of non-profits before going to graduate school.
Why did you decide to intern at FMF?
I decided to intern at FMF because I wanted to work for an organization who's cause I was already passionate about. I have always felt strongly about women's rights and wanted the chance to explore a career in feminism.
|What does feminism mean to you?
For me, feminism is a vital movement that benefits everyone. An individual should never be held back or discouraged from living their life in the manner they choose simply because of their gender. Equality for women around the world can only help societies function more successfully and peacefully.
|What are you working on now?
At FMF I work on the Education Equity Project as well as some of the communications for Ms. Magazine.

Many of you may already be familiar with Halpern's Twitter feed, (twitter.com/shitmydadsays) where he began chronicling the rude, bizarre, and hilarious things his father said. After a mention by Rob Corddry, his Twitter feed saw a meteoric rise in popularity (as of this week, he has over 1.6 million followers). A book deal wasn't far away, and neither was a tv show, which stars William Shatner as the profane father. (I have a whole other set of opinions about the television show, but I'm reserving judgment until I see it.)
The audience for Shit My Dad Says can really be summed up with one question: Do you like bathroom humor? If your answer is yes (mine is), this book will likely leave you in stitches.
Here's an example of the elder Halpern's wit: "Son, you're complaining to the wrong man. I can shit anywhere, anytime. It's one of my finer qualities. Some might say my finest."
And then there's the sterling dating advice: "That woman was sexy…Out of your league? Son. Let women figure out why they won't screw you, don't do it for them."
As you can see, it's also for those of us who like a healthy dose of profanity with our humor (the two selections above are a couple of the tamer ones), so be warned. (Can you see why I'm wary about a television show?)
Shit My Dad Says is a short little book made up of brief vignettes featuring Halpern's interactions with his father, from childhood through adulthood. Each vignette is preceded by a smattering of (usually) 140 characters or fewer witticisms from his dad, most of them centering around defecation and tough love (and often both at once). I'd hazard a guess that most of these one-liners are merely repeats of the Twitter feed, but there are a few new ones thrown in, and the old ones are so funny they're worth reading again.
While humor is definitely the book's main aim, Halpern also aims for sentimental and touching, and he mostly succeeds. His writing makes it clear that the two men love each other, and this is spelled out in the last chapter, a pretty affecting few pages where Halpern's dad tells his son what he hopes we readers take away from the book.
Some of the vignettes are forgettable (I'm having trouble remembering details of more than a few), but on the whole, Shit My Dad Says succeeds in its purpose: to make us laugh and to remind us that a parent's love can be shown in some unconventional ways, but it's love nonetheless. This last point is something many people can relate to.

Antonio Brown didn't show up for OTAs and everyone everywhere has decided he's holding out.
But is he?
Or is he really just taking paternity leave of sorts and spending time with his newborn child?
I agree with those who think he's underpaid based on his performance and compared to other receivers. However, in 2012, he signed a 6 year deal. The Steelers aren't going to renegotiate that deal yet. I am sure, if he performs again this fall he will get a fair deal. But that's a season away.
Now that being said, how did this rumor even get started? The news outlets that reached out to Brown's agent (Drew Rosenhaus) said he did not comment. Brown was tweeting that he'll be there. That he's looking forward to being with his teammates. And then finally he tweeted he's spending time with his newborn child.
So, did someone make all this up? Or they just "assumed" because he wasn't at OTAs? And then in the all quick scramble to have the news first, everyone rushed to write a story, any story?
I don't know. First of all, this isn't really ABs style. Since his rookie season he's stayed in Pittsburgh for the majority of his off-season training time. He was rewarded for outstanding play with a nice contract. And yes, I think he should get some more dollars. However, do you think he didn't see what happened to Mike Wallace and then Emmanuel Sanders? Yeah, they got contracts, but Wallace had nothing else but the money in Miami and Sanders has had an ok time in Denver, but I don't think he's still reached the potential they thought he would (for the record, I think this year is Es year). I just don't see AB as the hold out drama king type. Rosenhaus, yes. But I don't see AB doing that, especially since he already knows the Steelers don't play that game well. Having a conversation. A business conversation as adults will work out much better. Ben surely didn't take his last contract negotiations public and put the full diva on display and I definitely don't see AB doing that either.
So, let's step back, away from the keyboard and relax.
AB will be there. He might renegotiate a new contract, but he'll be there.
And if he's not, you can bring me back to this post and roast me on twitter. I'm pretty sure I am right on this one.

In recognition of his continued efforts to support conservation and champion the rights of sportsmen and sportswomen in New York State, Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb (R,I,C-Canandaigua) received the "2011 Conservationist Award" from the 3,000 member strong Seneca County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, Inc. Leader Kolb received the award during the Club's annual banquet that was recently held in Waterloo.
"Preserving and protecting New York's great outdoors and the right of all citizens to hunt, fish, and enjoy nature are top priorities for me, which is why I was deeply honored to receive the 2011 Conservationist Award from the Seneca County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs," said Leader Kolb. Leader Kolb is a member of the National Rifle Association, the Shooters' Committee On Political Education (S.C.O.P.E.), and Safari Club International.
"As much as I appreciated receiving this award, I also value the continued friendship and support from Seneca County Federation of Sportsmen's Club members," Leader Kolb stated.
For the past two years, Leader Kolb and the Assembly Minority Conference have sponsored "Sportsmen and Outdoor Recreation Legislative Awareness Day," a non-partisan event that has attracted thousands of sportsmen to Albany and highlighted the positive economic contributions that hunting, fishing, and other outdoor recreation activities have on New York's economy. The event features nationally recognized speakers, vendors and pro-actively promotes the importance of ensuring access to New York's great outdoors.
Other sportsmen organizations such as the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA), along with the statewide and Yates County chapters of S.C.O.P.E. also have repeatedly recognized Kolb for his advocacy in safeguarding the rights of sportsmen and sportswomen. Since the summer of 2010, Leader Kolb has been named "Legislator of the Year," and "Man of the Year," by NYSRPA, and "Second Amendment Politician of the Year," and "Sandra Lee Wirth Legislator of the Year" by S.C.O.P.E.

Land O'Lakes Inc. said earnings rose 27 percent in the second quarter, due partly to strength in its flagship butter and cheese business.
The Arden Hills-based dairy and farm cooperative earned $96.4 million in the quarter, as sales hit a record $4 billion, up 6.6 percent.
Beyond gains in butter and cheese, the cooperative cited strong results in various business units, including its Winfield Solutions ag chemicals business, stronger sales of its alfalfa and soybean seed and growth in its Purina Animal Nutrition business.
Land O'Lakes has been selling off its MoArk egg-laying business, a longtime laggard. The company said it has sold MoArk's Midwestern operations and virtually all those in the West and "is considering options with respect to the Eastern assets."
"We are pleased with our overall performance for the first half of 2014, which has been driven by improving commodity markets and the success of strategic investments we have made in our core business," CEO Chris Policinski said in a statement.

Your Facebook "Live" Newsfeed is Only Showing 250 Friend's Updates. Here's how to fix it.
If you're a moderately active Facebook user and have over 250 friends you may have noticed that the "Most Recent" newsfeed seems to omit things. For my part, it's a conversation I've had a number of different times with friends. Collectively musing on just how Facebook goes about displaying the recent updates. After all, the "Top News" option seems pretty straight forward, but "Recent Updates"? One would think that covered all of your friends updates in a somewhat real time feed. That was the point after all, right? Wrong.
The reality is that Facebook made the decision to filter your Recent Updates in a way which really turns it into a less elite "Top News" option. Now, if you're like me and genuinely nosy/curious what your friends are up to you're probably genuinely interested in recent updates from ALL of your friends, not just the top 250 which Facebook chose for you.
The good news is, while anything but intuitive it's incredibly easy to expand that number to encompass all of your facebook friends, pushing your feed back to a useful real time stream from all of your friends and contacts.
Step one:
Log in and click the Facebook logo. This should take you to your main feed page. In the middle right hand side of the page you'll have the two options, "Top News" and "Most Recent".
Step two:
Click over to "Most Recent"
Step three:
Scroll to the very bottom of the page where the "Older Posts" option appears on the left hand side. Note that on the right hand side there's an easily overlooked "Edit Options" text. Click it.
Step four:
Change the "Number of Friends" option from 250 (or whatever it is at) to your current friend count+100.
Step five:
Save it and enjoy! Your feed is once again a real cross section of recent updates from all of your friend. Not just Facebook's version of a VIP list.

Homey Tomato Cheddar Pie
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I tried my hand at a savory pie for once, and the result was fresh savory dish, with tomatoes nestled in a cheddar-biscuit crust. A great way to enjoy the best of the season. Inspired by a recipe from our local Edible Communities publication. Read more at http://threecleversisters.com/2012/09/19/homey-tomato-cheddar-pie/ —sarabclever
Serves 6
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour or spelt flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk or yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 pounds tomatoes, cored and sliced
- 2 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 shallot, finely choped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- several sprigs of fresh thyme
- Preheat oven to 425°. Lay the tomato slices on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and top with more paper towels to absorb their liquid. Allow to drain for 30 minutes while you make the crust.
- In your food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the chopped butter and process until it's crumbly and pea-sized. (Alternatively, use a pastry cutter to work in the butter, or rub it in with your hands). Whisk the buttermilk and egg together and pour the mixture in through the feeding tube. Stop, add the cheese, and then continue to process until it forms a ball.
- Dump the dough onto a floured surface. Knead a few times until smooth, then roll out with a floured rolling pin to an 11-12 inch round. Fold into quarters and transfer into a 9-inch pie pan, gently unfold the crust, press into the bottom of the dish, and cover with plastic until ready to fill and set in the fridge.
- Stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallot, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle a handful of cheese onto the bottom of the crust and top with a layer of tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper, drizzle on some of the oil-vinegar mix, then top with more cheese and some thyme. Continue making layers like this until all the ingredients are used up, saving the prettiest tomatoes for the top layer. Finish with a layer of cheese and thyme.
- Fold the overhanging crust onto the top layer of filling, like a crostata. Paint the crust with milk or buttermilk.
- Bake until crust is light golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Check halfway through baking to make sure the crust isn't getting too dark—tent with foil if needed. Allow the pie to rest at least an hour (ideally longer) before serving.

This past August Twitter surprised me with a notice that I could start promoting my tweets and get suggested to other Twitter users as someone to follow. I signed up immediately. It has been almost a month now and I have been paying $2/day for Twitter ads. Look at the results:
Twitter's ad model is simple: pay $1/follow and $1/click with no charge for "impressions." This is simply a horrible deal. I recently revealed my tricks and tips for getting more followers on Twitter in a little ebook for Kindle. Price $.99
Using the techniques I describe in this book I increased my number of followers on Twitter by 550 in the same time frame!
You can see the difference $28 made in the graph above.
Conclusion? Paying Twitter for followers is a ridiculous waste of money. Twitter's business model to capture dollars from the average user is completely broken. If it succeeds in generating any significant revenue it will be from the ignorance of their users, not on any real value offered.
Oh, and follow me on Twitter.

To Internet users, they're an often-ignored nuisance. But to Google, online ads are both big business and a showcase for some serious mathematics. The determination of which ad ultimately shows up on your computer screen is made by an algorithm that considers everything from how much a company pays for an ad to how well its website is designed.
Latanya Sweeney, Harvard professor of government and technology in residence, wants to add another factor to the mix, one that measures bias. As described in a paper published simultaneously in Queue and Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery, Sweeney described how such a calculation could be built into the ad-delivery algorithm used by Google.
"We're not trying to get rid of all discrimination," Sweeney said. "At the end of the day, online advertising is about discrimination. You don't want mothers with newborns getting ads for fishing rods, and you don't want fishermen getting ads for diapers. The question is when does that discrimination cross the line from targeting customers to negatively impacting an entire group of people?"
Sweeney discovered one such example. In a paper published earlier this year, she found that Internet searches for "black-sounding" names—such as Darnell or Ebony—were 25 percent more likely to result in the delivery of an ad suggesting that the person had an arrest record, even when no one with the name had an arrest record in the company's database.
"I was working with a colleague, and we were searching for an old paper of mine," Sweeney said. "We Googled my name, and up popped an ad suggesting I had an arrest record. I do not, and I was so shocked I spent hours seeing which names got the ads and which did not. I went through the entire study believing I would eventually prove no association with race, but that wasn't the case."
Fortunately, she said, the same techniques that uncovered that apparent bias can be used to counteract it. In her paper, Sweeney describes how an algorithm can identify white- or black-sounding names and calculate a "bias score" based on how often negative ads are delivered for that name.
If, for example, someone were to search for "Latanya Sweeney," the algorithm could determine whether a disproportionate number of ads offering to search for an arrest record have been delivered in the past, and counteract that bias by discounting the ad to encourage the delivery of more neutral ads.
The roadmap for making such calculations, Sweeney said, was laid out in an earlier paper of hers.
In that study, Sweeney explained, she first had to determine what white- and black-sounding names were. To do that, she turned to earlier studies that had collected birth records and tracked the first names given to white and black children. Armed with that data, she conducted thousands of Google searches to produce a list of nearly 2,200 real people who had those first names.
Sweeney then visited two sites, Google.com and Reuters.com, and searched for each name once while recording which ads came up. The results, she said, were startling.
Overall, black-sounding names were 25 percent more likely to produce an ad offering to search for a person's arrest record. For certain names, like Darnell and Jermaine, the ads came up in as many as 95 percent of searches. White-sounding names, by comparison, produced similar ads in only about 25 percent of searches.
One possible explanation for the phenomenon is that the bias is simply an unintentional side effect of the way Google's algorithm weights certain ads based on what companies will pay and how often they are clicked on. Whether that is the case or bias is introduced through an advertiser, Sweeney said, the bias measure could easily be built into the algorithm as another weighting factor, controlling for both.
"Google is already weighting some ads more than others," Sweeney said. "What we're saying is we want to define another measure, called a bias measure, using the same comparisons we used to identify the bias in our prior study. This could be very easily built into the way Google's algorithm already works.
"We can now define a predicate for finding this bias," she said. "In our prior study, that predicate was whether the name being searched was a 'white' name or a 'black' name, but we could do the same thing with male or female names, or other ethnic groups and other groups protected from specific forms of discrimination by law."

Finance Minister Jaswant Singh took over at North Block in July 2002. In less than two years, he appears pretty much settled in the finance ministry.
Notwithstanding his candid admission about being a non-economist, he is comfortable talking on a range of hard-core economic issues, from gross domestic product and fiscal deficit numbers to foreign investment policy and financial sector restructuring.
The finance minister's work ethos, too, has been distinct. He largely avoided the media in his present stint and let events speak for themselves: be it his handling of the Unit Trust of India fiasco or the Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation goof-up.
His style, so far, has been to confine himself largely to the big picture, leaving the nitty-gritty for his officers to attend.
Till the interim Budget for 2004-05 was presented, Singh did not seem to be too enthusiastic about his key officers. But things changed overnight.
In a Confederation of Indian Industry post-interim budget interactive session, he called his secretaries by their first names and showered praise on them. So much so that a secretary-level official in the ministry wondered if they actually deserved the bouquet.
In the last fortnight, Singh surprised many with a series of interviews in both the print and the television media. Whether the unusual gesture had anything to do with the general elections is debatable, but it did come at a time when India's economy is shining and the forecast, too, looks rosy.
He is quite confident now that GDP growth in 2003-04 will beat his own expectations of 8.1 per cent.
Talking to Business Standard on Friday, Singh spoke frankly on various issues, leaving again the details to be interpreted by the interviewers and the readers. If indeed the NDA is voted back to power, and assuming he is asked to occupy the North Block office again by the prime minister, one can expect significant changes in the policy environment.
A key reform in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board's functioning can be expected. While the FIPB was brought under the finance ministry's purview last year, Singh feels that there is no need for such an agency in today's liberalised context.
He will, however, have to convince his Cabinet colleagues about dismantling the board. Some other operational and technical issues, too, need to be sorted out in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India and the department of industrial policy and promotion.
Singh is also keen that the NDA agenda is implemented in letter and spirit. One promise that will involve some tightrope walking is on tax exemptions. The NDA agenda has set a two-year timeframe for scrapping exemptions.
So far, there has been a political reluctance to touch exemptions - despite the various expert committee reports including those under Parthasarthi Shome and Vijay Kelkar - and successive finance ministers have not dared to upset the middleclass.
The finance minister does not have to look outside the BJP for opposition. The BJP's economic think-tank argues passionately in favour of direct-tax exemptions. Much will depend, however, on the outcome of the elections.
The vote count, or the number of BJP members who make it to the Lok Sabha, will influence his actions. If the BJP has to depend on its NDA allies, then Singh's task will be doubly difficult.Ā But greater consolidation in the Indian financial sector can be expected. Singh favours a merger of public sector banks. Some policy guidelines may be expected from the banking division and the RBI.
More liberal foreign investment norms may also be under consideration; among them is an increase in the foreign direct investment limit for the insurance sector from 26 to 49 per cent and a partial opening up of retail trade up to 26 per cent.
It is certain that the NDA agenda would not have been drafted without Singh's economic inputs. Given this assumption, he has been bold in giving his consent to 26 per cent FDI in retail trade and removal of tax exemptions in the next two years. Singh will be watched closely and reminded of the NDA's agenda.
Foremost for him, though, will be to tackle his interim-Budget promises of revisiting the issue of standard deduction and tax exemptions, which were largely viewed as announcements with the elections in mind.
All this only if NDA comes back to power, and in Singh's words, "If I continue to be the finance minister."

Mental Health Speaker Natasha Tracy
In addition to writing about mental health and mental illness for a variety of sites, I also speak on the matters too. In fact, I spoke to over 1000 people last year alone. I speak at schools, community events, corporations, conferences and pretty much anywhere else I'm needed. I have a habit of making people debate, laugh and cry all in the same presentation. I receive standing ovations and excellent reviews from attendants.
I have spoken:
- At the National Council's Conference of Behavioral Health and Addiction in Chicago, IL.
- Corporate events
- At high schools and colleges
- At Mental Health American's Annual Conference in Virginia (upcoming)
Why Natasha's Presentations are Unique
My presentations are unique because not only have I been studying mental illness, most often bipolar disorder, for more than a decade but I also live with the disorder every day. I talk about the realities of mental illness and not what you see on television or in movies. I tell my real story about living with a serious mental illness fearlessly and without a sugar-coat in sight.
Why You Need to Care about Mental Health
Mental health is not an isolated concern. According to the World Health Organization, "One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide."
That means if you don't know someone with a mental health issue today, you absolutely will in your lifetime.
And if you think you're immune because of your socioeconomic status, race, location or gender – think again. Mental illness does not discriminate. Mental illness attacks every group equally.
Mental Health in the Workplace
And mental illness isn't just a serious issue in the community; mental health issues drastically affect the workplace as well. More than one-third of people with serious mental illnesses work. And every one of those people feels the stigma against mental illness that is typical in many workplaces. In fact, it has been found that employers are more likely to hire people with a physical disability than one with a mental illness and more than one quarter would dismiss an employee for not disclosing a mental illness. Moreover, people with mental illness face discrimination from their coworkers as well. Read more about workplace discrimination here.
Employers also lose millions of dollars a year in days taken off from work due to mental health issues – but – some of this can be prevented by improving the work environment. It is everyone's responsibility to create a safe work environment for all employees and that includes people with mental illness.
A presentation on mental illness is a way to squash stigma, defeat discrimination, change the way people think about psychiatric illnesses and highlight how successful people can be in a workplace with or without a mental illness.
Hear Natasha Tracy Speak
Here's is a talk I gave in 2016 about stigma, self-stigma and how we can defeat self-stigma:
Here is a keynote speech about living with bipolar disorder I did as the keynote at the Family Conference in Vancouver, B.C. in 2014. It received a standing ovation:

David pondered the question aloud in 1971, now perhaps NASA will tell us, thanks to Curiosity's MSL rover, which is scheduled to land on Mars next week. Who's in the best-selling show? In IT Blogwatch, bloggers say it's on America's tortured brow.
By Richi Jennings: Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment. Not to mention: A begging letter from Mark Zuckerberg...
Kenneth Chang's mummy is yelling, "No!" And his daddy has told him to go:
With tightening budgets, it is the last big hurrah for NASA's planetary program for quite a few years. ... Could there ever have been life there?
...Its new home will be the Gale Crater, just south of the equator...one of the lowest places on Mars. ... Curiosity's $2.5 billion mission: studying the environment of early Mars. ... Bits of the Martian past may lie in the rocks at the bottom of the crater...the search is on for...carbon-based molecules.
...But before Curiosity can make any discoveries, it has to land.
Jonathan Amos walks through his sunken dream to the seat with the clearest view:
This mobile Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) should bring about a revolution in our understanding...provided it can land safely.
...[It] will approach Mars enclosed in a protective capsule...bigger even than the Apollo Command Module...travelling 20,000km/h. ...it must first hit an "entry keyhole" in the sky just a kilometre or so across. ... the heat shield will experience temperatures above 2,000C.
......at 11km altitude and with the descent velocity now reduced to 1,400km/h, the capsule deploys a supersonic parachute...slow[ing] the fall to about 450km/h. ... A "sky crane" holding the rover drops away...using thruster rockets to further slow its descent. ... At just 20m above the ground, the sky crane...lowers the rover down to the surface on three nylon cords.
And Irene Klotz is hooked to the silver screen, but the film is a sadd'ning bore, for she's lived it ten times or more:
Curiosity," tweaked its flight path. ... Touchdown is scheduled for 1:31 a.m. EDT on Monday, Aug. 6.
...The goal is to settle the car-sized rover...next to Mount Sharp, which rises from the center of the crater. ... [It] seems to be made of layers of sediments. ... Curiosity may be able to [tell] whether the planet has...ever had the right ingredients and environmental conditions to support life.
Matt Saincome could spit in the eyes of fools, as they ask him to focus on sailors fighting in the dance hall:
Oh man, look at Rebecca Boyle go; it's the freakiest show:
NASA is enlisting Hollywood...in a couple of new videos. ... William Shatner and Wil Wheaton, vets of various "Star Trek" franchises, describe Curiosity's "seven minutes of terror" as it touches down.
...Shatner has phoned the International Space Station...and he's narrated dramatic space shuttle...videos. Wheaton promotes NASA...funding through his multitudinous social media channels.
And Finally...

Benefits of a Buying New Car
What's better than buying a car that has never been driven by anyone or been in a single accident, doesn't have any unpleasant smell or show wear and tear, or mistreated by previous owners?

And it will come with the latest automotive technologies to make your ride more comfortable, safer, more convenient, and more fuel efficient. Plus, banks are more likely to offer you lower financing rates because new cars have not been affected by depreciation, which means that they are worth more.
Quality New Cars, Trucks & SUVs
Every vehicle that is driven to our location for sale undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection. We have a great service and maintenance team that notes all the vehicle's tires, brakes, fluids, filters, wiper blades, and any other scheduled-maintenance components that it has. Also, the vehicle is driven to ensure that it operates properly, has its body checked for signs of damage or prior repairs and engine compartment and undercarriage examined, and has aftermarket parts (if any) noted and all its inspection points clear of dirt or debris. As a result, we ensure that every automobile that we sell is optimized for many more years of use.
For more on our Porsche vehicles, definitely do not hesitate to contact us today. We have a vast array of cars to check out for yourself, and we have built a reputation for making customer satisfaction our top priority.

Michael Keaton hails Jordan community donation at star ceremony
Actor Michael Keaton has praised basketball great Michael Jordan for his efforts to improve relations between black people and the police as he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The former Batman star hailed Jordan for his two-million-dollar donation to help build trust between African-American communities and law enforcement officials following a series of deadly shootings in America.
Jordan, who has faced criticism in the past for not speaking about social justice issues, revealed on Monday he will give a million dollars to the Institute for Community-Police Relations and another million dollars to the NAACP Legal Defence Fund, a leading US civil rights law organisation.
Keaton, 64, thanked the Los Angeles Police Department as he was presented with a star on Hollywood Boulevard, saying the force had been "great" at a time when "things are really, really tough right now".
He said: "I'm going to throw this in, whether people like it or not, my friend Michael Jordan just made a huge donation in terms of police and minority communities.
"I'm going to thank him myself. I don't care if people say he took too long to do it. The fact is he did it."
Keaton, who was a vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders' bid to become the Democratic presidential nominee, said he felt "good" about Hillary Clinton securing the nomination as she prepares to take on Republican Donald Trump in the US election.
"Sometimes you have to play defence," he told the Press Association. "If you're a footballer, some times you just need a good goalie to get you to the next level."
Keaton said he felt embarrassed listening to praise from guest speakers including his son Sean and film director John Lee Hancock, before describing himself as a "pretty damn good" actor.
"How I grew up, speaking about yourself ... to any degree was kind of frowned upon," he said on stage. "It's so embarrassing to me in a way. I'm embarrassed I'm embarrassed.
"To listen to what's said about you and to feel at all like you deserve this, is just not the way I've ever thought."
He added: "I always wanted to be good. That's all I ever really wanted to be - good at what I did. Honestly, to tell you the truth, I think sometimes I am. Sometimes I think I'm pretty damn good."
Keaton, was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role in the 2014 film Birdman, will appear later this year in the film The Founder, which tells the story of Ray Kroc's acquisition of the McDonald's fast food chain.
His star is the 2,585th to be awarded on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Life in a Risen Saviour: Being Discourses on the Argument of the Fifteenth Chapter of First Corinthians by Robert Candlish is free from Logos Bible Software this month as part of their Free Book of the Month program. After you get the free book, you can read in one of the free reader apps for PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, or Kindle Fire—or online at Biblia.com.
You can also enter to win a free copy of the 15-vol. Works of Robert S. Candlish.
Life in a Risen Saviour consists of 21 sermons. Here's how Candlish introduces the volume:
I have endeavoured, in these Discourses, to illustrate the line of argument pursued by the Apostle. It is not, as I apprehend it, an argument about the resurrection generally. It has respect to one particular view of the resurrection; its bearing on the believer's spiritual and eternal life. I have sought to trace the line of thought which gives unity and coherence to the Apostle's reasoning. I have by no means, however, aimed at anything like a complete commentary or exposition. I have rarely discussed different interpretations, and have abstained from minute criticism. There is no attempt, on my part, to occupy the place already so well filled by such learned and acute scholars as Dr. John Brown, and other recent writers, who have bestowed research and study on the examination of this portion of Scripture. I have not quoted authorities. But I must name Isaac Taylor's "Physical Theory of Another Life," as having suggested interesting lines of thought connected with the future state.
I crave indulgence for some diffuseness, as well as for occasional repetitions, not easily to be avoided in a series of compositions for the pulpit, prepared often hastily from week to week, and all having reference, more or less directly, to one theme. I might have recast what I had thus prepared, so as to give it the form of a more compact treatise. But that is always an irksome task,—and not always a successful one. I have thought it best to publish the Discourses very much as they were when I preached them.
He traces Paul's argument along these lines:
- 1 Corinthians 15:1, 2—The consistency of Paul's preaching, and its acceptableness
- 1 Corinthians 15:3–11—The substance of Paul's preaching, and its evidence
- 1 Corinthians 15:12–17—If there is no resurrection, Christ is not risen, and we are yet in our sins
- 1 Corinthians 15:18, 19—The pious dead are lost, and we are miserable
- 1 Corinthians 15:20–23—But Christ is risen, and is become the first-fruits of them that sleep
- 1 Corinthians 15:24–28—The end; the delivering up of the kingdom to the Father
- 1 Corinthians 15:29–32—Why baptism for the dead, and other hazards? Why not live for the passing day?
- 1 Corinthians 15:33, 34—Danger of Antinomian license, as the fruit of dallying with "profane and vain babblings."—(2 Tim. 2:16–18)
- 1 Corinthians 15:35–38—How are the dead raised?—Not as they die—Analogy of the bare grain yielding ripe fruit
- 1 Corinthians 15:39–42—Varieties of bodies in nature—Terrestrial and celestial
- 1 Corinthians 15:42–44—Bodies changed from corruption, dishonour, and weakness, to incorruption, glory, and power
- 1 Corinthians 15:44—The natural and the spiritual body
- 1 Corinthians 15:45–49—The two Adams
- 1 Corinthians 15:50–53—"Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God"
- 1 Corinthians 15:53, 54—"Flesh and bones"—Kinsmanship, and community of nature
- 1 Corinthians 15:54—Death swallowed up in victory
- 1 Corinthians 15:55, 56—The sting of death—Sin—The strength of sin—The law—Victory the free gift of God in Christ
- John 11:25, 26—Christ the resurrection and the life
- 1 Corinthians 15:58—Steadfastness in the faith of the resurrection
- 1 Corinthians 15:58—Abounding in the work of the Lord—Its reward—Resumption of it
- Isaiah 25:8—The Church's progress—Her final victory over all the earth—Her missionary character

Local farmer hits breakfast tables
Published 12:46 pm, Saturday, August 24, 2013
It's taken almost five years, but Glenn Schur can finally sit down and have a bowl of home-grown cereal for breakfast.
And he bought it at a local supermarket.
"It's pretty exciting that some of the grain sorghum that I produce on my farm in Hale County goes into a box of cereal that I can buy at United Supermarket, right here in Plainview," Schur said Thursday. "It's been made for four to five years, but only available along the East Coast until now."
The grain going into the Grain Berry-brand cereal is a special high tannin sorghum variety from seed available through Sorghum Partners in New Deal. Schur is the only producer in Hale County planting the crop for the cereal, marketed under The Silver Palate label.
"It's not a gluten-free product, but it is high in antioxidants," Schur explained. "It's not a 'health product,' but it's recommended for healthy diets."
The whole grain toasted oat cereal is enhanced with "natural berries of grain" from sorghum. It is available in four varieties — Apple Cinnamon, Honey Nut, Toasted Oats and Bran Flakes. A pair of grain sorghum heads are incorporated as part of the label on every box.
"Our Toasted Oats cereals start with whole grain of oats to help maintain healthy cholesterol," the label notes. "We then add our Grain Berry natural berries of grain that we call, 'Heart Grains.' It's the outer layer of our grain berries where the antioxidants are concentrated that we add to our whole oats to give you a unique and delicious cereal."
In addition to cereal, The Silver Palate also markets crackers and pancake mixes under the Grain Berry label.
"The dinner crackers are really pretty good," Schur said, but neither mixes nor crackers are currently available in this market.
"We were getting the grain sorghum for this product milled at ADM in Plainview, before they shut down last year," Schur said. Since then the grain has been shipped to Dodge City, Kan., for milling.
"It's been in United Supermarkets since this spring," Schur said. "I believe it is available at traditional United Supermarkets and Market Street locations, but not at Amigos."
He credits the work of National Sorghum Growers and United Sorghum Checkoff with helping make the product a reality.
"And it tastes pretty good, too," he said.
The product label notes that "the antioxidant content and whole grains make them (the Grain Berry products) somewhat darker in color. So have some fun with your kids. Serve Grain Berry versus regular lighter colored cereals, etc., with a blindfold and see which they like better. You may be surprised when they say they prefer Grain Berry for taste."
Product makers suggest that the blind taste test won't be required more than once. "After all, it's made by Silver Palate, so you know it tastes just great!"
The cereal is competitively priced at $2.99 for a 12-ounce box.

Hi Guys.
I have finally put down a few feet of track, after about 15 feet I got to the point where I planned to have a turnout or switch.
Some time back I picked up some Shinohara switches, after I had connected it, I couldn't resist testing what I had accomplished, come on guys, you all do this, just can't wait??
I am using DC for the time being and will switch to DCC after I have all the track down.
Big disappointment, my loco goes through the switch with no problem but when I try to switch to another section of track!!! SHORT???? I noticed that the "frog" if that is the correct term? has the left rail on one section, joined to the right on the other section. BINGO, there is the problem. I have a couple of old Atlas switches, they are insulated at the frog.
Question: how does one solve this dilemma ??? bearing in mind that I will shortly go DCC.
