Protect your investment with aPlatinum Coverage warranty plan:
There are no products for the condition you selected. Please make another selection.
This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and returned to us in
virtually new condition, however its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory. Also, it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. If you're looking
for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is
a great value. We feel so strongly you'll like what you see, we're including our
60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories, to this used product making it a no-risk purchase.
Very Good: This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and shows few,
minor signs of use. In most respects it looks and performs like new and may be considered
equivalent to display units found in retail stores. Its packaging may not meet the
standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty.
Condition 2 products are a terrific value and you can buy with confidence knowing
our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic
flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument
or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips,
dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or
Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is
a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned
with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories
applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is not in working condition and needs repair, but can
be brought back to full functionality with replacement of parts or some skilled
repair work. If you are a do-it-yourselfer or know a skilled repair person this
is a terrific value. Condition 4 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with
a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.
This instrument or product has been damaged beyond what we judge is reasonably repairable.
It's best used for spare parts or to practice repairs on, and at this price Condition
5 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with a manufacturer's warranty and are
not returnable.
Accidental damage, normal wear and power surges are no longer an issue with these comprehensive and affordable plans. We even pay to ship your gear for repairs. More details.

MIDI Solutions Breath ControllerThe MIDI Solutions Breath Controller accepts the BC3A as input and generates continuous MIDI data corresponding to the amount of breath pressure applied to it. The Breath Controller will also accept input from older Yamaha BC1 and BC2 units. It converts the voltage from the Yamaha BC3A Breath Controller to continuous MIDI data and can be inserted inline anywhere in the MIDI data stream. You can also use it between a MIDI keyboard and a sound module to add control of various parameters such as volume, modulation, aftertouch, etc. (the message type is programmable to most types of MIDI messages).Just like a pedal controller, you can set up the Breath Controller to control a specific System Exclusive parameter. This enables you to control synth parameters that cannot be controlled by MIDI controller messages. The Breath Controller allows you to send a System Exclusive message with a single variable byte, determined by the amount of breath pressure applied to the unit. These messages can be sent to synths that allow certain parameters to be controlled via sysex only, enabling you to experiment with sounds in ways that were not previously possible.It has a MIDI Echo parameter you can select as on/off. When MIDI Echo is on, all MIDI messages appearing at the MIDI In of the Breath Controller are echoed to its MIDI Out. When MIDI Echo is off, messages appearing at the MIDI In of the Breath Controller are filtered, and not echoed to its MIDI Out.Another unique feature of the Breath Controller is the ability to add a variable amount of curvature to the response of the applied pressure of the BC3A. This allows you to correct for a nonlinear response, or to add greater response at one end of the breath range compared to the other.The Breath Controller is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive messages. Once programmed, its settings are retained even after power is removed. The Breath Controller can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed.The Breath Controller is MIDI-powered, and requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most products. A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

The long wait endured for the release of the 1-Series M Coupe was far too much to bear, but the array of tuning packages released shortly thereafter have lead to a case of amnesia towards BMW 's procrastination. No matter how grandiose the sports coupe was at inception, tuning companies are always game to raise the bar. One such company is APP Europe. The German tuner has updated both the exterior and the interior of the 1-Series M Coupe, as well as provided an extra 70 HP to satiate our rubber burning desires.
The BMW's 340 HP twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine was given the added boost with larger intercoolers and a lightweight titanium exhaust system with a new muffler inlet pipe, Metallkats with larger diameter. These features bring the output up to 410 HP. The added snarl gets tamed using a new braking system with 6 piston calipers on the front axle and 4 piston calipers on the rear axle. Weight reduction and traction are added with ATS super light wheel rims and a set of P Zero tires by Pirelli.
The look of the car is altered with a cool white exterior paint job combined with black and orange stripes. THe interio is also modified with the use of lightweight seats covered in BMW-Performance artificial leather and a BMW-Performance steering wheel with display.
The full conversion is priced out at €14,000 or about $20,000 at the current exchange rates.

Celebrity Feuds: Charlie Sheen vs Chuck Lorre( Phil McCarten / Reuters, Phil McCarten / Reuters )
Scorned much? After he was told Two and a Half men would go on without him, Charlie sent a fuming message to show creator Chuck Lorre. A part of it reads "Shame on you. Not even a phone call to the man that put you on the map. The man that put 500 million dollars in your pockets." The message concludes in Charlie's typical bizarre fashion saying "Reap the whirl-wind you cockroach, reap it."

Tax Shield
Definition of 'Tax Shield'
A reduction in taxable income for an individual or corporation achieved through claiming allowable deductions such as mortgage interest, medical expenses, charitable donations, amortization and depreciation. These deductions reduce taxpayers' taxable income for a given year or defer income taxes into future years.
Tax shields vary from country to country, and their benefits will depend on the taxpayer's overall tax rate and cash flows for the given tax year.
Investopedia explains 'Tax Shield'
For example, because interest on debt is a tax-deductible expense, taking on debt can act as a tax shield. Tax-efficient investing strategies are a cornerstone of investing for high-net-worth individuals and corporations, whose annual tax bills can be very high. The ability to use a home mortgage as a tax shield is a major benefit for many middle-class people whose homes are a major component of their net worth.

While growing in terms of megawatts and systems shipped, the market for stationary fuel cells is also going through a period of deep restructuring, with a number of companies exiting the space and a handful of new entrants appearing. Over the last year, the sector has seen a sharp increase in market demand created by government policy initiatives. According to a recent report from Navigant Research, annual revenue from stationary fuel cells will grow from $1.7 billion in 2013 to $9 billion in 2022.
"Stationary fuel cells are still in the early part of the adoption cycle, with limited availability and affordability," says Kerry-Ann Adamson, research director with Navigant Research. "During the last year, however, companies have moved to create products for markets where real needs exist—in many cases producing systems that use locally available fuels, can be maintained by local engineers, and do not require very limited operating temperature ranges. This growing realism will enable the industry to create a secure foundation for future growth." Continue reading

"No child should die in the dawn of life."
These are the words of legendary entertainer and humanitarian Danny Thomas, the founder of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It is a sentiment that our community has embraced like no other community in America.
The million-dollar city. That's how Minden is known when it comes to our support of St. Jude. The annual St. Jude Auction, which is under way through Sunday at the Civic Center, has become a clarion call for this community.
On the first weekend of February, every year, it seems the entire city has a singular purpose – to go further, to give more. And every year, that's exactly what Minden has done.
A decade ago, the auction brought in a little more than $360,000. Last year, the take climbed to more than one million. Per capita, no other community donates as much to St. Jude as Minden.
And the cause is extraordinary. What could be more important than caring for our children, our small ones, our innocent?
Consider the mission of St. Jude – to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Furthermore, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
Every penny Minden raises goes to saving the lives of our children.
Consider the progress made by St. Jude – discoveries at the hospital have completely changed how doctors treat children with cancer and other catastrophic illnesses. Since St. Jude was established, the survival rate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common type of childhood cancer, has increased from 4 percent in 1962 to 94 percent today. During this time, the overall survival rate for childhood cancers has risen from 20 percent to 80 percent.
"St. Jude has treated children from across the United States and from more than 70 countries," their web site states. "Doctors across the world consult with St. Jude on their toughest cases. Also, St. Jude has an International Outreach Program to improve the survival rates of children with catastrophic illnesses worldwide through the transfer of knowledge, technology and organizational skills."
Every penny Minden raises goes toward saving the lives of the world's children.
Minden brought in more than a million dollars during the 2012 auction, paving the way for this year's theme "A Million Reasons to Give a Child Hope."
Minden gives more than hope. Residents give their time, their love, their passion. And so we come to Auction time once again. And again, Minden sits as a fulcrum for the fate of thousands of young lives. We will rise to the call. Minden always does. So join us all and give. Make a difference.
Because no child should die in the dawn of life.
Josh Beavers is the publisher of the Minden Press-Herald. He is a two-time recipient of the Best Newspaper Column award given annually by the Louisiana Press Association.

Like a company beaming over its new prized model, Chrysler is putting a lot of its eggs in the basket of the new 200 sedan. That's how much it hopes the redesigned model will get over with the public after mercifully ending the Sebring's run.
So, with an all-new 200 rekindling new hope for Chrsyler, the American brand is set to unleash the full-court press on the new midsize sedan , and that includes an aftermarket program courtesy of Mopar.
The model that's being touted in the Mopar guise is actually a 200S, and it features a Lunar White Pearl Tri-coat exterior. If fancy and classy can go together, this color certainly does a good job at highlighting the 200's impressive new looks.
Not only that, Mopar's accessory list for the 200S also includes a host of exterior and interior goodies, highlighted by a graphics package, a bicycle-hitch receiver, white leather seats, bronze contrast stitching, Autonet WIFI and ambient lighting, among a smorgasbord of new digs, all of which you can check out after the jump.
No performance upgrades were given to the Mopar-tuned 200S, but considering how Chrysler is trying to establish the 200 as the new "face" of its lineup, keeping it in its current mechanical guise — a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that produces 295 horsepower and 355 lb-ft of torque — is important to elucidate the 200's appeal to the public.

Corporate profits: What could take the wind out of a strong 3Q
More than two-thirds of the S&P 500 has posted better-than-expected third-quarter earnings. But because so much of those strong numbers depends on overseas sales, the crisis in Europe could stymie further growth.
By Suzanne McGee, The Fiscal Times
On the surface, earnings news for the third quarter has been rosy indeed. With all but a handful of companies in the S&P 500 left to report, more than two-thirds have posted a larger-than-expected increase in profits for the period, while only 10% or so have fallen short of estimates.
But there's a cloud looming on the horizon. A lot of that growth, as companies like General Electric (GE) discussed when they reported, is coming from overseas markets, especially in emerging markets. GE, for instance, noted that growth in sales in Europe, North America, and Japan is in the low single digits; in emerging markets, it's in the low double digits.
But these days, there's nowhere to hide from the kind of dangerous scenario taking shape in Europe. If the sovereign debt crisis there can't be contained and addressed effectively -- and even last week's introduction of new governments in both Greece and Spain didn't appease many observers -- growth in emerging markets will evaporate rapidly, too. After all, the ability of Chinese consumers to buy imported goods is dependent on the ability of the companies that many of them work for to continue exporting to Europe, Japan, and North America. And last week saw a report from China that exports grew at the slowest rate in nearly two years in October: 15.9%, below the 16.1% level economists had been anticipating. That still means China is a fast-growing economy, needless to say, but on balance, one that will feel the impact of any European meltdown in the shape of further declines.
Throughout the third-quarter earnings season, traders and some investors have been heard trumpeting the strong corporate balance sheets and strong earnings performance of the majority of U.S. companies. They're right to do so. But maybe they should be paying more attention to the behavior of corporate CEOs, who continue to guard the cash on their balance sheets with tremendous vigilance.
In a global economy, there will be no place to take refuge from the European storm; even businesses that have no direct exposure to Europe can expect to feel any fallout. That's why dramatic headlines will continue to make equity markets volatile and treacherous -– and routinely distract investors' attention from any good news on earnings.

ORANGE CITY - The old Welcome to Orange City sign on U.S. 17/92, just south of New York Avenue, does its job a half-mile too late.
Parcel by parcel, the city has been filling in its crannies and fattening its borders by annexing county land on a fairly regular basis.
At its most recent meeting, the Orange City Council not only kept up that tradition by annexing new properties into the fold - two parcels totaling just over an acre near East Elm Drive - but also updated the zoning on 169 properties that added 145 acres to the city map between 2004 and 2009. All actions were unanimous.
The new zoning classifications were chosen for best aligning with the current uses for the properties.
"You do have some increase in dwelling units," for some types of planned unit development classifications, said Development Services Director Alison Stettner, "but it's not enough to have any adverse impacts" to the city's infrastructure.
Not all citizens were fully comfortable.
Dale Atchley called the "MX2" mixed-use zoning eight properties were assigned after being zoned rural residential for generations, a "one-size-fits-all type of zoning" that could allow anything from package stores to motels.
"To me," he said, "it's a very scary zoning. It really depends on who is driving the bus, so to speak, to allow these uses to happen. Who gets run over along the way?"
Stettner explained any new developments, particularly those for MX2, which is considered a planned unit development, would require review and ratification by the city's planning and zoning board and city council. All current uses for the properties have been grandfathered in; however, if the nonconforming use is postponed for just a year while a property is between owners or operators, the city has the leeway to step in and determine which future uses would be acceptable.

1. Ebenezer Scrooge - A Christmas Carol
"If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!"
Ebenezer Scrooge is top of the pops in a new poll to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth today. The shortlist, voted for by Penguin readers, indicates a clear love of villains and outcasts among the top 10 most popular Dickensian characters. After party-pooper Ebenezer comes the heartbroken Miss Havisham, with Sydney Carton from A Tale Of Two Cities in third place. Come see who else made the cut - as chosen by 833 people voting on the Penguin website - below.
Picture credit: Rex Features
"If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!"
"Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart to pieces – and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper – love her, love her, love her!"
"I am a disappointed drudge, sir. I care for no man on earth, and no man on earth cares for me."
"You may start by jappaning my trotter case. In plain English, clean my boots."
"When the boy is worth a hundred pounds to me, am I to lose what chance threw me in the way of getting safely, through the whims of a drunken gang that I could whistle away the lives of! And me bound, too, to a born devil, that only wants the will and has the power."
"Pip, dear old chap, life is made of ever so many partings welded together, as I may say, and one man's a blacksmith, and one's a whitesmith, and one's a goldsmith, and one's a coppersmith. Diwisions among such must come, and must be met as they come."
"'Estella,' said I, turning to her now, and trying to command my trembling voice, 'you know I love you. You know that I have loved you long and dearly.'"
"I am chained to my old life. I loathe and hate it now, but I cannot leave it. I must have gone too far to turn back - and yet I don't know, for if you had spoken to me so, some time ago, I should have laughed it off"
"Yes, Pip, dear boy, I've made a gentleman on you! It's me wot has done it! I swore that time, sure as ever I earned a guinea, that guinea should go to you."
"'Never,' said my aunt, 'be mean in anything; never be false; never be cruel. Avoid those three vices, Trot, and I can always be hopeful of you.'"

Seventh Sister- Beck (NC-SC) 1954 Buchanan- McNeil
[From Southern Folk Ballads- Vol. 2 by McNeil. A version with the a similar title from NC is Brown B. 'The Seven Sisters,' secured in the summer of 1928 by Mrs. Sutton from the singing of Mrs. Rebecca Gordon of Saluda Mountain, Henderson county, NC.
R. Matteson 2014]
Child commented that "of all ballads this has perhaps attained the widest circulation" (I, p. 22).He was referring only to Europe but his remarks apply equally well to America for even today this is one of the favorite Child ballads. Indeed, Bertrand Bronson lists this as the fourth most popular of the Child ballads (see The Ballad as Song (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1969), pp. 165-66). Child listed it as number 4 under the title "Lady Isabel and the Elf-Knight" but it is known traditionally under numerous titles. These include "The Outlandish Knight," "Billy Came Over the Main White Ocean," "The Cage of Ivory and
Gold," "Castle By the Sea," "The Daughter of Old England," "The Errant Knight," "The False-Hearted Knight," "The False Lover," "Go Steal to Me Your Father's Gold," "He Followed Me Up and He Followed Me Down," "If I Take Off My Silken Stay," "Little Golden," "The Knight of the Northland," "A Man in the Land," "Miss Mary's Parrot," "The Ocean Wave," "The Gates of Ivory," "Six fair maidens I've drowned here" and almost as many more different titles. The ballad has been reported from most of the Southern states as well as in New York, Maine Missouri, Indiana, Colorado, West Virginia, Ohio, Vermont, Michigan Utah, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma. In addition it has been collected in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Ontario, and it may even be more widely known than this list indicates.
Seven story types of the ballad exist in American tradition. In the most popular of these a knight convinces a family's seventh daughter to rob her parents and elope with him. He takes her to the place where he has drowned her six sisters and asks her to remove her valuable robe before he kills her, she asks him to turn around so he will not see her naked, and when he does she pushes him in the stream to drown. She then returns home and replaces the money, after which a parrot questions her concerning her activities. By promising an elaborate cage' the girl convinces him not to tell on her. Therefore, when the king asks the parrot about the fuss, he says a cat has been around the cage. This is essentially the narrative given in the present version except that the robbery is omitted and the dialogue with.the parrot is attenuated. A second type makes the knight, ,rrp"tt atural nature very clear' while in a third type the parrot "".rrt"t the girl of the murder. A fourth story type
has the parrot failing in his attempt to deceive the girl's father. In a fifth story type the *tffi. of the knight's drowning is protracted. After the girl removes her robe the knight drags her into the water but by some means, he drowns. She then returns home where her mother and the parrot have the usual conversation about the cat. In a sixth story type the parrot is missing and in a seventh both the parrot and the father are missing. When the girl leturns home she prays to God, thanking him for her escape.
Although the earliest reports of this ballad are from the seventeenth century it is thought by some to be an offshoot of the biblical story of Judith and Holofernes, a suggestion Child rejected. He did agree that the story belonged to a large body of European tales and hypothesized "that in independent European tradition existed of a half-human, half-demonic being, who possessed an irresistible power of decoying away young maids, and was wont to kill them after he got them into his hands,
but who at last found one who was more than his match, and lost his own life through her craft and courage. A modification of this story is afforded niy trre large class of gluebeard tales" (1, p.54). Others have traced the false knlght back to a twelfth-century demon king of the I orver Rhine region. Whatever its origins, there can be little doubt that nineteenth- century English broadsides played a large part in keeping the ballad alive in the British Isles, for it was a favorite with broadside printers of the era. These texts generally consisted of three scenes: (1) the knight cajoling the girl, (2) the waterside and (3) the parrot.
In most American versions neither the villain nor the heroine is named, but when they are Mary and Polly are the most common names for the girl while William and John are the most favored names for the knight. In a number of American lyrics the girl and the parrot have the same name (polly), which tends to make the story hard to follow. The knight's supernatural character is missing, which is hardly surprising since such elements generally tend to disappear in American renditions
of old world ballads. It is also characteristic of American texts that the girl is very vigorous. In one version she throws a rock at the drowning knight and in the text given here she doesn't just push him into the water, she "slung him in Yonder sea."
If any proof of the ballad's popularity were needed it is provided in the large number of parodies that have cropped up over the years. Some of these appeared in minstrel show songbooks during the nineteenth century. The narrative also exists as a folktale in both prose and cante fable form. The present version of the ballad was collected July 7, 1954, by Annabel Morris Buchanan from Carrie Louise Thames (Mrs. D. G.) Beck, Hendersonville, North Carolina. For more information about Buchanan see the notes fot "The False Knight upon the Road." For more about Beck see the notes for "Miss Mary Belle." She learned "The Seventh Sister" as a child in South Carolina from her mother, Evelyn Roberson Thames, who was a native of Canada.
The Seventh Sister- Collected by Annabel Morris Buchanan from Mrs. Carrie Louise Beck, Hendersonville, NC, JULY 7, 1954.
"Come rise you up, my pretty fair maid,
Come ride along with me,
We'll ride the length of this long summer's morn,
And married we shall be, be,
And married we shall be."
He mounted on the milk-white horse,
And she on the dapple-grey,
They rode the length of a long summer's morn,
Till they came to the rolling sea, sea,
Till they came to the rolling sea.
"Light down, light down, my pretty fair maid,
Light down, light down," says he,
"Six of your sisters I've drowned here,.
And the seventh one you shall be, be,
And the seventh one you shall be.
"Take off, take off those satin robes
And hang them on yonder's rock,
For they are too pretty and they are too good
To lay in the sea and rot, rot,
To lay in the sea and rot."
"Turn your face to-ward the wood
And turn your back on me;
I never thought that a naked woman
Was fitten for a man to see, see,
Was fitten for a man to see."
He turned his face toward the wood,
He turned his back on me;
I caught him around his waist so small,
And slung him in yonder sea, sea,
And slung him in yonder sea.
She mounted on the milk-white horse,
Leading the dapple-grey,
And when she reached her father's house
It was just three hours till day, day,
It was just three hours till day.
"Oh, shut your mouth, you parrot bird,
Don't tell no tales on me,
And your cage shall be made of gold and silver,
And hung on the willow tree, tree,
And hung on the willow tree."

GSA to begin traffic detours Tuesday
By Tara Nelson
Motorists traveling southbound from Canada can anticipate a new detour at the Peace Arch border crossing beginning August 5.
Bill Lesh, spokesperson for the U.S. General Services Administration, said beginning Tuesday, southbound traffic leaving the port of entry will also be detoured onto D Street as it turns into Peace Portal Drive. From there, travelers can cross D Street and return to the freeway or proceed south on Peace Portal Drive and reenter the freeway at onramp 274.
The detour will allow the construction of a new northbound bridge off I-5. The new bridge will connect the northbound I-5 to the Peace Arch customs facility and is part of a larger plan to expand the current facility to improve traffic flow and inspections.
Also beginning Monday, August 18, work crews will begin the construction of a northbound detour that will shift northbound traffic onto southbound lanes at the D Street interchange up the east side of the existing Peace Arch border facility.
The detour will end just north of the existing port building where it will rejoin I-5 and widen to three lanes.
During that time, three general-purpose primary inspection booths and one NEXUS booth will remain open – the same number of booths normally staffed at Peace Arch during non-peak travel times. Also, one southbound lane of I-5 will be open on weekends. The lane will be available between noon Friday, August 8 and 6 a.m. Monday August 11 as well as Friday, August 15 to Monday morning August 18.
The D Street exit will remain open, but vehicles will have no northbound access to I-5, he said. "Instead, northbound motorists will be detoured east on D Street to the truck route and then north to the Pacific Highway border crossing to Canada."
The detour plans were first scheduled to begin in November of 2007, but Lesh said a combination of adverse soil conditions, difficulty in obtaining permits and scheduling changes by subcontractors pushed back their original starting date.
"It's a major construction project and in almost every major construction project, there are delays – especially in the beginning," he said. "However, we're now up to full speed on this and we hope this is the last of the delays."
Lesh did not say whether the detour would create longer wait times for drivers, but other federal officials say they are concerned the detours could mark the beginning of up to two years of a strangled border.
"It's going to be painful for everybody," James Rector, assistant port director for the Blaine area, told The Northern Light in September, 2007.
Drivers can also check border cameras and wait times before traveling, which are available at www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/border.

On-Line Debt
New company plans to link institutional investors direct to bond auctions via computer modem.
Investment bankers are needed to handle complex underwritings, but a New York City software company argues that they just get in the way during straightforward bond sales. CapitaLink Securities Corp.'s plan is to hook institutional investors directly to bond auctions via computer modem and to undercut Wall Street fees to the issuer by half. Geared to $100-million to $300-million issues, CapitaLink is getting marketing help from J. P. Morgan Securities Inc.

Cooking With Colostrum
Faced with a pint of raw cow's colostrum at the farmers' market last week in Santa Monica, I found it hard to not to say yes. So there I was with this pricey elixir and no idea what to do with it.
Colostrwhat? Colustrum is the first milk of a lactating being. In this case, a cow. It is packed with nutrients and antibodies. The only colustrum I'd seen before was my own, and believe me, I didn't cook with it.
I emailed my friend Nina Planck, figuring if anyone knew, she would. No dice. I started googling around, and found just a few references. Googling "colostrum recipes" mostly yields formulas for making a colustrum substitute for just-born calves.
I set out to make a pudding I found on an Icelandic cooking website, but ended up making cheese. The recipe, for those of you who care, will be posted tomorrow.
In the meantime, I'd love to hear if anyone has experience cooking with colostrum. And don't just say "ewww."
33 Comments
Whoa. Never heard of such a thing. Well my first thought is I wonder if heat will damage all those amazing antibodies and such. My second thought is I wonder how cow colostrum actually works for humans - given that each mammal's colostrum is perfectly formulated for that species' offspring, what does and doesn't work for us non-bovines? My third thought is how does it taste?
I second mjoe. What does it taste like?
What does the calf drink if you're drinking this?
honestly, as a former nursing mom, I may have trouble just drinking milk after reading about this. Maybe you could put it over berries or something... I'll pass though..
good question mollyjade. i'm not vegan, but hmmmm
I can't say that I've ever cooked with colostrum, but for those so inclined:
I really was just going to say "ewwww."
And I agree with mollyjade.
I was going to buy the milk for my son. But the milk and colostrom are unpasturized. So there isn't a problem with heating killing the antibodies. Unpasturized milk isn't really a worry if you are healthy person.
what's the diff between this and raw milk?
This elicits a giant eee-YUCK from me, too. And yes, I'm also confused about the calf. A cow (like a human) can produce milk indefinitely, but colostrum is pre-milk and is only produced for a few days (at least in humans, and I think in other mammels, too). So, uh, how does this work?
Not that I really want to know, actually, now that I think about it. Blech!
Gross! Sorry, but I can't comprehend why anyone would eat this. Or drink it. I get sick just thinking about it.
The calf is taken away from its mother and closed up in a veal pen until it's ready for slaughter. Colostrom isn't really an issue.
Also, since most dairy cows are kept lactating or pregnant almost year-round, I don't know how many nutrients would be available for any given batch of colostrom.
Jooly, I guess that is the obvious answer, I was just hoping for a more humane one. And you make a good point about the nutrients.
But ethical considerations aside, why all the ewwww? What makes colostrum any grosser, in theory, than milk?
So does this mean veal calves are routinely fed antibiotics?
I've heard of some hippie-dippy food products, but this - NEVER EVER. Is there even enough market for something like this to justify bottling it? Was it selling briskly?
I guess in theory it's not any grosser than milk. I happen to think milk is gross too, though. I admit to being easily grossed-out.
I think about 90% of what makes this "grosser than milk" is the name. Seriously, i got a screwed up look on my face reading this, even before i knew what it was! :)
I grew up on a dairy farm and I have to say EWWWWW!
I would never EVER touch the stuff. Straight up, it looked bloody. And lumpy. (This stuff is probably homogenized.) If you get it, I'll bet the color is really orange. Here's something to think about: 500 gallons of blood need to pass through the udder to make one gallon of milk.
mjoe: The truth is that the cows produce way more of this stuff than the calf needs. Especially the heavy lactaters. (A good cow would produce upwards of 10 gallons of milk per day.) Much of the time, we'd throw the excess into the gutter. Plus, some cow's milk is better than others, so we would feed to good stuff to the calves and discard the not so go stuff - or sell it to people at farmer's markets now, I guess.
However, we used to feed some of it to our cats, and they LOVED the stuff.
I'm from the state that contains (?) mumbai in India and we make a dish called kharvas from colostrum. Its quite mild and delicious and I think uses only sugar and a bit of cardamom and nutmeg powder sprinkled on top. I think it's steamed so it looks almost like flan but with a denser mouthfeel.
If the main point is the health benefit and not any sort of taste, I'd probably just hide it in a smoothie/shake type concoction. Although gayatri's suggestion does sound interesting.
Not homogenized. The website warns that it may be pink from the blood in the milk. And there are cows on the family ranch. The calves are kept with the mothers for a while. And the milk is just used in Foster Farms milk. So one would assume that they are allowed to on an organic, free range farm. The reason I didn't use it with my son is because he has an adrenal problem, so even though he has never had anything more serious than a cold, he is not healthy. So unpasturized milk would be too dangerous.
Aaaannnnnnd.... yet another reason to take the road to veganism.
This is why I can't support the dairy industry - you are stealing breastmilk from a baby animal who will then be killed in the near future for its tender flesh.
It would be melodramatic if it weren't TRUE.
Why in the world would you want to consume this? It's good for calves, so therefore it must be good for humans? If that's the "logic," it's pretty lame, I'm afraid.
jooly and Joy: the calves aren't necessarily being sent for veal. The females would be raised for dairy. The number of male calves born on a dairy farm is less than 50%. And the veal calves ARE usually milk fed. Never heard of "milk fed veal"? Some of the males are raised for beef, not veal, as well. (Not that you'll see that as much better, but they get to live longer than 6 weeks.)
I doubt they're stealing the breastmilk from the calves. Colostrum is only produced for the first few days, and, regardless of what will happen to the calf, they usually stay with the mother for that long. Especially on a family farm - if you google this company, you'll find that they are an organic family farm, not a factory farm.
Please understand that a newborn calf only needs one or 2 gallons of colostrum per day, and the mother is producing at 5-10 gallons a day.
Information about how much colostrum a calf needs and how it loses it's benefits to the newborn can be found here.
I really hope this doesnt find a market and catch on with the soccer mom crowd. The thought of the industry keeping up a wide supply of this stuff frightens me. Im not a milk drinker, but at least milk production isnt as hard on the body as constant pregnancy.
That's just so ... sad. That should be drunk by a calf, from its mom.
I'm so surprised by the knee jerk reactions to this post. Follow Julie's link and you will read from a relatively reputable (althought alternative) nutritional source that colostrum has been consumed in other countries (including India and in England!). And how can people continue to say things like this is "sad" when people with more knowledge than us have already testified that the cow produces far more than a calf will need? Bizarre responses. So strange that people would feel more comfortable drinking non-organic non-family farm friendly milk than organic family-farm friendly colostrum.
well, too late for this go around, but since you asked, the traditonal yorkshire dessert called a curd tart is, when made properly, made with bislings milk
it's bloody lovely too.
I grew up on a farm, and my Mom used to make cheese from it, and cheescake. It is very good, as long as you use quality milk.
I grew up in the country side (in a third world country) for my childhood years, and as I remember my uncle would wake up early in the morning to milk the cows and bring us fresh milk to boil and drink. I would always look forward to the days he would bring colostrum and make dulce de borruga de leche, or dulce de leche cortada. Regular recipes call for regular milk, but when made with colostrum it creates bigger clumps and a lot tastier. My aunty would make it for me, and now as I ponder on her recipe I come across this blog. You should try making it, all it needs is sugar and milk (or how my aunty made - with colostrum, which is a lot better). The taste is amazing.
And as far for all the comments up there, the calve does not need all the colostrum and in fact the colostrum would be thrown away if they don't drink it. This actually is a pretty good way to use available resources, when not done in excess (such as raising calves just for the colostrum). I would usually wait a while before my uncle would come home with the colostrum.
Oh well. I'm still in the search for the perfect recipe to create my dulce de leche cortada and replicate my aunts.
Ok...Most of you are quite silly. I own a dairy cow and when she calves she produces an ADDITIONAL 10 or so gallons of extra colostrum. It's not bloody or lumpy. It's thick and dark yellow to orange. It's similar to melted ice cream. It is nutritionally dense and quite sweet.
No calves are injured or hurt in taking the colostrum, as a matter of fact, the cow is relieved to have the excess removed from her heavy heavy udder.
I realize that a majority of the negative comments are from suburban, chicken nugget eating folks. My advice to you is...
Learn where your food comes from.
Calculate the number of preservatives you take in every day and how they affect the body of you and your family and tell me how using colostrum is worse for you.
Open your cupboard look for one single item that is nutritionally better for you.
Oh..and Kashi doesn't count since it's produced with Genetically Modified grains that were hosed down with Round up.
I was searching for a different recipe for colostrum when I found your post, Faith. In some parts of the middle east (I'm from Saudi Arabia), we make it into flan/creme caramel. We sweeten it to taste, flavor it with cardmom and saffron, pour it in a casserole dish, and then place the casserole into a larger pan and add 1 inch of HOT water to the outer pan. Bake in preheated oven until set (around 1 hour).
Nothing weird about it at all... I also found this article while searching for a recipe. "Ginnu" is a traditional south Indian dessert that is absolutely delectable and made from colostrum. The cow makes way more than a little calf needs and it' insane to throw it away... this is an amazing superfood and when cooked right is DEEELICIOUS!! You simply steam or bake colostrum that is sweetened and thinned with milk (if required), with a touch of saffron or cardamom, and when it sets you let it cool, cut into cubes and eat. It is juicy and sweet goodness that is not replicated by anything else.

It's not necessarily cold outside, but I'm sitting at a desk in a damn near 65 degree office. Sitting still for that long in that cold an environment gives me the chills, and my winter wardrobe as of late has been big on ultra-warm pieces thrown on haphazardly. Like this outfit.
You probably remember this skirt from my Modern Vintage post where I waxed poetic about how this skirt was probably inspired by someone's grandmother's couch. I think it's probably one of my favorite weird wardrobe staples and readers agreed – strange in a very cool way. Primary paisley brocade with oversize gold buttons.
I wore this outfit all day, just like this – though the hat was an outside-only deal because I know people in the office would totally make fun of me. Jerks. It's a sorry scenario when the only way you can get your rocks off at work is to wear goofy shit and pretend you're secretly a Russian Spy in a vintage fox Ushanka. They wouldn't know style if it kicked them in the kneecaps.
It's not really a vintage Ushanka – I wish! But it is vintage, and it came from Dana at Sustalux (who loves me). It's currently my favorite accessory.
Showing off my shoes… Miz Mooz… And I've been living in this coat. It's light enough to wear indoors without being overly warm. It'll be perfect for spring.
I'm wearing:
- Envelope collar asymmetrical walking coat from All Saints
- Vintage paisley brocade skirt
- Black boatneck sweater
- Charcoal trouser socks from sockdreams
- Miz Mooz Symphony heel
- AMAZING hat from Sustalux!
- Black glasses – BCBG
If you had only one ridiculous accessory in your wardrobe rotation, what would it be? I think you know what I'd pick!

Call For Papers now open!
Papers are invited from scholars and practitioners across all disciplines for a two-day workshop on the application of information and communications technology for environmental regulation. Abstracts (maximum 500 words) to be submitted by Friday 15 March 2013.
Digital computers can, and do, change human behaviour and have changed society in dramatic ways. Examples include online booksellers highlighting interesting items, social networking sites encouraging users to divulge personal information and auction sites using reputation-based systems to reassure consumers when entering into transactions with strangers.
As society considers how to alter individual, social and economic choices in order to better deal with the challenges of climate change, loss of biodiversity and environmental pollution, the continuing refinement of more effective means of environmental regulation requires urgent attention. Information and communications technology (ICT) can play an important role in this process. While there is some research on how ICT can be used for environmental regulation, we have not yet developed a full understanding of the issues which this may raise.
Purpose of Workshop
The aim of this workshop is to build a network of researchers dealing with these issues in order to prepare joint projects, funding applications and work towards an international conference dealing with this topic. The workshop will discuss the development of a coherent but multi-disciplinary research agenda for ICT and environment regulation and agree detailed proposals for future work in the area, such as the publication of an edited collection, funding applications or an international conference. It is aimed at those who work on issues related to the use of ICT in environmental regulation, whether as academic researchers, practitioners based in regulatory agencies, or activists in NGOs, such as lawyers, IS/IT/GIS specialists, environmental informatics specialists, economists, public policy researchers, psychologists, sociologists and other social science researchers.
Topics include: (but are not limited to):
Data for environmental regulation
Disclosure as a regulatory tool
E-government studies of environmental regulation
Geographical Information Systems and environmental regulation
Freedom of information law and policy
Green IT/IS
Sustainable computing
ICT and social responsibility
ICT and reflexive law
ICT and transparency
ICT as a tool for behaviour change
Information as a tool of regulation or governance
Remote sensing
Satellite monitoring
The automation or digitisation of regulation
The impact of ICT on regulatory processes
The role of models in the policy and legal process
The role of non-governmental organisations
The role of science in the policy and legal process
This workshop is funded by the Irish Research Council, the Whitaker Institute for Innovation and Societal Change, and the Environment, Development and Sustainability cluster of the Whitaker Institute at the National University of Ireland Galway.

In this tutorial series we'll be going over how to create a simple Regression Analysis library in Java. If you have any prior knowledge of regression analysis you will probably know that this is a very large field with a great many applications. In this tutorial series we won't be covering any massively advanced techniques. Our final library will be able to produce the same results as you would find in Microsoft Excel (excluding the graph plotting), which in most basic circumstances will be plenty enough to get you some good results.

It took nearly 50 years, but a local former Marine has been reunited with a piece of his past.
Charles Saffels was 18 when he enlisted in the Marines, fighting in Vietnam from 1966 to 1968. He was hit by a grenade, leaving the entire left side of his body numb.
"They dressed my wound and then cut my boot off. We always have a dog tag in our boot in case of death – you're identifiable. Well, they cut mine off and left it in the jungle," Saffels said. "To me and most veterans, it's a major piece of our life."
The dog tag is something Saffels never thought he'd see again.
"I never expected to see 21, let alone my age, 67," he said. "This dog tag showing up, it just sparked life again."
The tag was returned to him by Bryan Marks. Ten years ago, Marks was vacationing in Vietnam when he discovered thousands of dog tags. He made it his mission to return each one to its owner or the soldier's family.
"When I was 18, I was just a kid. That seems really young to me to be going over to a place where you're watching your friends die and possibly being put in a position where you have to kill people. So it's a lot of stress on someone so young. It's just a way of saying thanks to the veterans who actually went over there and served," Marks said.
"Vietnam is always in your head. It's always in mine. I never forget it. I'm the only survivor out of my patrol, so it's pretty important to me," Saffels said.
Saffels said soldiers typically have two dog tags. He gave the other one to his daughter when she was a baby. She died three years ago, but he wanted it to remain with her.
Now that he has the other one, he said he'll never take it off again.

During an interview with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie this morning, Barbara Walters asked him if he was "too heavy" to be the President of the United States.
"There are people that say you couldn't be president because you're so heavy," she said, after admitting she was "uncomfortable" asking the question. "What do you say to that?"
"That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous," Christie replied. "I don't know what the basis for that is."
"I think they're worried about your health," Walters asserted.
Christie explained that he had done just find running the State of New Jersey and put in 18 hour days during the state's response to Hurricane Sandy.
"I don't think that would be a problem," he said.

Comments On Sep 17, 2013:I have a xl tall jacket. The tall seize make all the difference to me.
The air vent are so so as they close back some times.
Jacket is very warm with the liner.
I did not use this jacket in the rain but i know i need rain gear. I dont think any jacket is really waterproof even if they say so.
Yes i would buy this again.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 04, 2013:I bought this jacket and matching pants to replace my other gear which I used for 8 years. The gear has great features and fits great but I am very disappointed with the quality. Within a month of using it, the velcro on the sleeve separated. Then within a few months of use the stitching on the front of the jacket separated leaving a hole about 3-in long. I recently went on a 2300km weekend ride and unfortunately we ran into some rain. The jacket is fine in heavy fog (common where I live) or light mist but it is NOT waterproof. Within 30 minutes of riding in rain I was soaked through to the skin.
Wouild I buy this gear again? No! It is poor quality and will not last more than a couple of years.
