Food Science: What is Buttermilk?
In all our recent posts on buttermilk and what to do with it, we realized that there's one topic that we haven't covered.
What, exactly, is buttermilk?!
Traditionally, buttermilk is the liquid that is leftover after churning butter. It's low in fat and contains most of the protein originally in the milk. True buttermilk ferments naturally into a thick, tangy cream.
These days, buttermilk is usually made by introducing a bacteria culture to low-fat milk and then heating the mixture. We've never had naturally fermented buttermilk, but we hear that commercially-made buttermilk is thicker and tastes more tart than the traditional stuff.
Can anyone who's had "real" buttermilk confirm?

I prefer not to buy buttermilk because I never manage to finish it. You can use regular milk as a substitute -- just add a teaspoon of lemon juice (less or more depending on how much buttermilk you need), let it sit for five minutes or so, and use in place of buttermilk.
I usually end up making my own buttermilk rather than running out and buying a carton for just one recipe. And it tastes just the same as buying it!
1 cup of milk, minus one tablespoon, plus one tablespoon of lemon juice.
I've had real buttermilk a time or two, but only the fresh version. If you make butter at home, you only get about 1/2 cup of fresh buttermilk from 1 cup of heavy cream... and that doesn't last long enough to ferment!
I learned the sour milk trick awhile back and have never looked back!
buttermilk is...... gross.
Buttermilk is indeed gross, if you drink it straight. Yuk. Then again, you probably wouldn't eat a mouthful of straight baking powder either. But it sure is a great ingredient.
I use powdered buttermilk, which according to the manufacturer at least is a lot closer to the real thing than the acid-cultured stuff you buy in a carton. For me, though, the more important thing is that it's incredibly convenient, and lasts a long time in the fridge. Otherwise I'm buying a quart of buttermilk and throwing out 3/4 by the time it expires (hey, i don't make *that* many pancakes.)
Though the instructions say to use it with water, I use it with regular 1% milk and get consistently excellent results, at least for pancakes and the like.
I don't know yet, but when we get our first 2 gallons of raw milk from our cow share, I will let you know. Store bought buttermilk is kinda ick, but I love kefir, yogurt, and other real fermented dairy, so I am pretty sure real buttermilk will fit in fine. Actually, I find that kefir is a good substitute for buttermilk, and contains less lactose (for the intolerant crowd).
All you sour milk people are missing out---it works but its sure not as tasty as buttermilk.
My mom taught me a great trick: she buys buttermilk for cheesemaking and turning homemade aioli into delicious Ranch dressing. But instead of wasting what's leftover, she freezes it in icecubes, then thaws at room temp for the next recipe! Now I'm on the frozen buttermilk bandwagon, too.
But, for pie crust, I use regular milk with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to substitute. Works great!
Wow! powdered buttermilk... freezing buttermilk! Great ideas- thanks for passing them on! Most of the time when I have a recipe that uses buttermilk, I end up with a lot left over and there it goes...chug chug chug down the drain.
I wish I had tasted "real" buttermilk. The store-bought variety does not get purchased too often in our household, just for specialty items every once in a great while. When I do buy it, I pull out all of my buttermilk recipes to use it up, which is done quite easily-none gets wasted. Buttermilk fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits, buttermilk waffles... that pretty much does it but it uses it up nicely.
Buttermilk is the stuff left over when you make butter. So make butter and you will find that it's fairly thin but milky liquid. I use it in soup or gratins or cakes, anyway that I would use broth or milk.
The commercial buttermilk you buy in the store is cultured, like yogurt. I have never bothered, but I suppose that I could culture my own buttermilk by putting a bit of plain yogurt in it (or if you leave it sitting around on the back of the stove for a day maybe you'll get lucky and it will culture itself, but I'm a bit skeptical in my kitchen).
Oh and I don't agree with the poster who says buttermilk is gross to drink. I like commercial buttermilk to drink very much. It's like a thinned out version of plain yogurt to me--if very cold it is refreshing. I know quite a few people who like to drink it, so it is worth trying if you never have.
I grew up drinking buttermilk when I was a little girl in Moscow. It's also great to add to summer spinach soups (spinach, potatoes, onions, carrots) or cold beet soup (one of my favorites: http://mangotomato.blogspot.com/2008/06/after-buying-beets-at-dupont-farmers.html

Programs by Country: Dominican Republic
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND CUBA: Microfinance Field Research Program (closed)
Dialogue of Civilizations | Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Faculty Leaders: Dennis Shaughnessy (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Gordon Adomdza (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Study Abroad Coordinator: Colleen Boyle (email@example.com)
Information Sessions:
- Tuesday, October 29 from 6-7PM in 170 Dodge Hall RSVP HERE
- Thursday, November 7 from 6-7PM in 225 Richards Hall RSVP HERE
- Tuesday, November 12 from 6-7PM in 170 Dodge Hall RSVP HERE
- Thursday, November 14 from 5-6PM in 425 Hayden Hall RSVP HERE
Term: Summer I
- ENTR 3316 - Microfinance and Economic Development in Latin America
- ENTR 3318 - Business, Economics, and History of Hispaniola and Latin America
The Field Research Program in the Dominican Republic & Cuba is a practical, hands-on, field research program built on the principles of the Grameen Bank model of micro-finance which emphasizes group liability, social collateral, and solidarity with the poor. In Module 1, the program focuses on village banking in rural communities called "bateyes" which are typically comprised of Haitian migrant sugar cane workers in the Dominican Republic. Students will also have the opportunity visit microfinance associates and their businesses in urban settings. In Module 2, students will compare and contrast their experience of microfinance PLUS models in the Dominican Republic with associates in Cuba, and explore how modern day socialism impacts the growth of small businesses and entrepreneurship.
In Module 1, classes commence Monday through Friday for two weeks at the premier business and technology campus in the Dominican Republic called INTEC (Instituto Tecnologico de Santo Domingo). Northeastern students will study side-by-side with local Dominican and Haitian students enrolled in this elective course. The academic portion of the program includes topics of study such as social entrepreneurship, micro-enterprise development, micro-finance, and impact measurement. Classes are supplemented with site visits to social businesses throughout the country, including other micro-finance organizations, agricultural co-operatives, and development organizations. Students will also be given the opportunity to visit Esperanza's microfinance PLUS programs, such as their public health iniatitives, education programs, and home improvement loan portfolio.
In the afternoon, students work "in the field" in either urban, semi-urban, or rural communities to interview current microfinance associates of Esperanza International , the University's field partner in the Dominican Republic. Esperanza is a leading microfinance organization in the island of Hispaniola and is an active Kiva field partner. The purpose for this field exercise is to collect both qualitative and quantatitve impact metrics for Esperanza to better understand how they are serving their clients.
In this micro-consulting research project, students design a metric tool to assist Esperanza with measuring social impact for the organization's 18,000 active borrowers and $20m loan portfolio. Students also create a final presentation with a deliverable to include recommendations to the senior management for best practices.
In Module 2, students will travel to the island of Cuba, where they will learn about the historical roots of socialism in order to better understand the modern day implications of business, entrepreneurship, and human development. Students will also visit historical sites, meet with leading economists, visit urban farms and agricultural cooperatives, and learn from experts in Cuban politics and history. Students will also interview recipients of microfinance loans in Cuba, and contrast their knowledge of microfinance in the Dominican Republic. Students will also have the opportunity to compare and contrast public health systems and education systems in both countries to better understand human centered design in the role of development. This portion of the program will be based in Havana, with a weekend trip to Vinales Valley in Western Cuba.
This program is supplemented with service learning opportunities, as well as site visits, and weekend trips/excursions.

SANTIAGO: CIEE – Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra
Traditional | Santiago, Dominican Republic
Study Abroad Coordinator: Colleen Boyle (email@example.com)
Santiago de los Caballeros, the second largest city in the Dominican Republic, is surrounded by mountains. Places of historical, cultural, and ecological interest are nearby and easy to get to, and it is just a little over an hour's drive to the Atlantic Coast. Known as La Ciudad Corazon (City of the Heart), Santiago is the commercial and cultural center of the fertile Cibao Valley region. Although it is a growing city with a population exceeding 700,000, Santiago retains many features of a small town, and Santiaguero hospitality is known far and wide.
SANTO DOMINGO: CIEE – multiple universities
Traditional | Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Study Abroad Coordinator: Colleen Boyle (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic, is located on the southern coast of the island. It has a population of two million and is considered to be the main economic and political center of the country. The city, often called the "First City of the New World," is steeped in historical significance. There are numerous plazas and churches throughout the colonial district, which give a distinct flavor to the city. The city is divided by a river, the Rio Ozama, and is close to many beaches.
The CIEE Study Center, established in 1998, gives students the opportunity to enroll in classes at El Bono and INTEC. In addition, FLACSO offers several special courses for CIEE students, focused upon cultural, literary, artistic, political, and social aspects of the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean as a whole. This arrangement permits students to combine the specialized, more personalized "think tank" atmosphere of FLACSO with courses offered through INTEC and El Bono.
The program is suitable for advanced undergraduate students with strong language skills and a background in the social sciences or Latin American studies.

I read the original requirement as 8A so one of those should be fine (~1W dissipation). My quick search shows it to be a little bit cheaper than the IRLB8743 so back to the OP: where are you located and what are your cost constraints? Would something like the STP60N3LH5 be easier/cheaper for you to source?
Back to your sensor question (since this is the Sensors forum ), you mentioned wanting at least +/- 0.5 deg C accuracy but the TMP36 appears to only be +/- 2 deg C. Is that going to fit your needs? The DS18B20 robtillaart mentioned earlier does spec +/- 0.5 deg C accuracy.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (WKZO) -- If Mother Nature cooperates today, the WMU Sunseeker will finish qualifications, and make it into the American Solar Challenge on Monday.
Team spokesman Alec Carpenter says they put in 150-miles yesterday on the track at the Course of The Americas before they ran out of sunlight, but the car performed perfectly.
They need about 45 more miles to demonstrate to race organizers that their car will hold up when they begin the cross country race.
He says the threat today is thunderstorms forecast for the Austin area.
Solar cars need the sun to run.
Right now the only car that is ahead of them on the course and the only car that has qualified for the ASG belongs to the University of Michigan solar team.

The Daily Fix: Sharpen Dull Knives (Scissors and Can Openers, Too!)
Mar 9th 2010 9:05AM If you want to sharpen your knifes you are better off buying a stone and a steel(If you dont already have one. Most people have one in their draws but dont know what it is). You can find an ok stone for around $20-$40 that will do its job for what you need. It shoudn't be any lower than 1000 grit on it's roughest side. Anything lower will take to much metal off the knife and if you dont know how to use the stone properly you can do more bad then good.When you get the stone watch some how-to videos so you can learn how to correctly use a stone. Using it improperly will casue the knife to ware unevenly,so it is important that you learn the correct way .This artical is telling you to put your knife at a 45 degree angel. That is way to much, you want about a 20 degree angel. Once your knife is sharp after using the stone run it across the steel, it redefines the edge. You should run your knife across the steel 5 or 6 times each time. It may seem like a lot but it will help keep your knife sharp.

Ben Bullard Archive
Ben Bullard Reconciling the concept of individual sovereignty with conscientious participation in the modern American political process is a continuing preoccupation for staff writer Ben Bullard. A former community newspaper writer, Bullard has closely observed the manner in which well-meaning small-town politicians and policy makers often accept, unthinkingly, their increasingly marginal role in shaping the quality of their own lives, as well as those of the people whom they serve. He argues that American public policy is plagued by inscrutable and corrupt motives on a national scale, a fundamental problem which individuals, families and communities must strive to solve. This, he argues, can be achieved only as Americans rediscover the principal role each citizen plays in enriching the welfare of our Republic. Email this author.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
Study: Blood Test Detects Early Alzheimer's
July 21, 2011 (Paris) -- Australian researchers report they're a step closer to developing a simple blood test for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
In early testing, the experimental screening tool proved about 85% accurate at determining the amount of Alzheimer's-associated plaque in people's brains.
If the findings can be replicated in large numbers of people, "they may lead to an economical screen that indicates whether a person is in the early stages of, or at risk of developing, Alzheimer's," says researcher Samantha Burnham, PhD, of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Perth, Australia.
The test may also help doctors decide whether patients with memory loss need more expensive imaging scans to check for the disease, she tells WebMD.
Alzheimer's Testing
About 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia.
Current belief holds that amyloid plaque starts to build up in the brain seven to 10 years prior to the decline in cognitive skills that is often the first symptom of Alzheimer's, says Mary Sano, PhD, director of Alzheimer's disease research at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
Imaging scans using positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect plaque and other brain changes indicative of Alzheimer's years before memory and other symptoms of the disorder are evident. But they are costly and impractical for use on a population-wide basis.
Amyloid levels can also be measured in the cerebral spinal fluid, and there "are a lot of data" indicating this approach can accurately predict which patients with mild cognitive impairment will progress to Alzheimer's, Sano tells WebMD. But a spinal tap is "quite an invasive procedure" that most people would prefer to avoid, she notes.
The new blood test, which spots nine proteins whose levels appear to correlate with amyloid levels in the brain, is one of hundreds in development.
What makes this one stand out is that it was validated against PET scans of the brain -- the gold standard -- in a relatively large study, says the Alzheimer's Association's Heather Snyder, PhD.
Still, further validation is needed, and the test needs to be standardized so it offers consistent results from one lab to another, she tells WebMD.
The findings were presented here at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference.
Blood Test for Plaque
To develop the noninvasive blood test, Burnham and colleagues used blood samples from 273 people participating in a large-scale study looking for new biomarkers for dementia.
First, they identified nine proteins that correlated with the amount of amyloid deposited in the brain.
"We set a cutoff level. Anyone above that point is thought to go on to get Alzheimer's disease in the next eight to 10 years. Anyone below that [level] is safe," she says.

Pages containing 'Fileman'
Vista EHR Class at SUNY Albany - Spring 2014 - Teaching FileMan
As part of the VistA EHR Class at SUNY Albany,
we covered recently the topic of FileMan.
To this end, we used the following materials
JSON-LD as FileMan's Data Format
In its 1.1 release, FMQL will move its JSON format over to JSON-LD. This form of JSON provides a straightforward JSON with rigorous semantics, something key for VistA data with its large and powerful data model.
Fileman Tutorial for New Programmers...
I am please to announce that I finished writing a Fileman tutorial for programming students that I promised Luis Ibañez. Here it is.
Thank you Luis for the impetus, and sorry it took so long.

Fileman 22.2 Getting Started Manual: UPDATE
We got more reader feedback (thank you!), so here is an updated version of the Getting Started Manual. Hopefully this is also the final version.
We are now working on the Security Manual, and hope to have it available by the end of February.
Certification Working Group Meeting Notes From February 2, 2013
We will use the new peer review checklist to walk through peer review for FileMan 22.2 in the OTJ. Peer review checklist is at:
Update: We had a very successful consensus review of Fileman 22.2 during yesterday's meeting. Based on the meeting, we have the following two actions that need to be investigated, after which we will submit a recommendation via the peer review:
Fileman 22.2 Getting Started Manual: UPDATE
Based on reader feedback, we made a few changes to the Getting Started Manual. Here is the updated version.
Fileman 22.2 Getting Started Manual
This is the Getting Started Manual for Fileman 22.2 in PDF format. We are working on an HTML version, and will link to it when it is complete.
VistA Visual Cross-Reference Documentation Updated to include FileMan File fields details
Detailed updates to Visual Cross Reference Documentation (http://code.osehra.org/dox/index.html)
VA FileMan 22.2 FileMan Routine Changes and Visual Cross-Reference Documentation link.
By following the installation instruction of the Fileman 22.2 submission in OSEHRA Technique Journel (http://code.osehra.org/journal/browse/publication/27), we install Fileman 22.2 sucessfully on a VistA instance based on FOIA 082412 release. Routine changes are extracted and imported into VistA-FOIA git repository based on FOIA 082412. The difference between Fileman 22.2 and FOIA 082412 can be view directly via github:
FileMan - self describing, data-wise
Context: been mailing with Sam about a code convergence call and here are some data-centric FileMan issues I'd like to bring up.
All in all, I'd like FileMan to be fully self-describing and enforcing so that its data is easier to model and mine. I don't want to have to do ANY data rework in an outside data store.

Brazil's 'New Middle Class' is usually just one paycheque away from returning to poverty. I have been warning about the frailty of the country's economic boom for nearly 3 years, with its lack of investment and over-reliance on commodity income and consumer credit, and now the cracks have started to appear. As the economy slows, the population is on the streets demanding urgent reforms - reforms they did not care about when they suddenly became happy consumers. In the words of my own father, more than that, they now realise they also need to be citizens. While people were poor, they probably felt they did not deserve better services. Now they have some of the highest taxes in the world being sucked right out of their shiny new paycheques, it's a different matter. However the stark reality that breaks my heart is that the Brazilian government (the current one or any other) has not the preparedness, the harmony, the skills or the competence to deliver those reforms in a timely and appropriate manner. Brazil's political system simply isn't built for that. Rush is the enemy of perfection, they say. I fear 'the Giant' might be slipping back into its old ways of life. The New Middle Class' short dream maybe coming to an end.
BRAZILIANS have taken to the streets for many reasons over the past few weeks, but it's safe to say that few things ranked higher on their long list of grievances than a loathing of their politicians and political parties. Yet Brazil's political class is nothing if not canny. In the days following the protests, politicians rushed to show contrition, offering not only to postpone their recess, but also passing a series of high-profile bills they had previously rejected or ignored.
"They know exactly what is happening on the streets," says Sylvio Costa, Director of Congresso Em Foco (Congress in Focus), an independent website that monitors parliament. "When there is popular pressure they go with the flow because they are petrified. They want the public off their backs and they want to get re-elected."
But there's a reason only 12% of Brazilians have any confidence in Congress, and it didn't take long before the right honourable men and women in Brasilia reminded them why. Even as thousands of their countrymen were dodging tear gas and police cordons to protest against corruption and graft, senior politicians were using official aircraft to fly across the country to football matches and weddings, sometimes even taking family members with them. Caught red-handed, the speaker of the Senate, the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies and the minister of social security all admitted wrongdoing and said they will reimburse taxpayers.
That abuse is not only badly timed, it is also the thin end of the wedge. According to Mr Costa, 191 of Brazil's 594 senators and deputies are currently under investigation, most for minor administrative offences but some for serious crimes including drug trafficking and murder. The arrest last week of Natan Donadon, a member of the Chamber of Deputies, on corruption charges was the first time since the 1988 constitution was introduced that a sitting member has been jailed. The four who were found guilty of corruption in the mensalão cash-for-votes scandal are still free pending an appeal.
Voters share some of the blame for repeatedly re-electing misbehaving politicians. Nonetheless, President Dilma Rousseff has proposed a package of political reforms which she says would reduce corruption and make politicians more accountable. Whether the package is passed, irony of ironies, depends on Congress. It's hard not to think of turkeys and Christmas.

One of the top Democratic lawmakers has asked the FCC to delay voting on this proposal, and the FCC will vote on whether or not to delay it on Thursday.
Should the FCC delay action on the proposal, it will most likely decide not to take action on it until after February 2009. Why? In February, the FCC will be overseeing the transition digital television across the U.S and doesn't want anything to divert its attention during this time.

The bumpy, scary ride of yesteryear is gone. Riding an Erickson Longboard is a sweet, smooth ride with big, stable wheels. Think snowboarding in fresh powder, waterskiing on mirrored glass, dropping in on the perfect wave. You get the picture.
After living and traveling all over the world, seeking a taste of life's pleasures, and then finally figuring out what really matters to me, I decided to ditch the nine to five and live my life doing what I love – crafting the finest longboards from sustainable wood and sharing the fun of riding with people just like you.
I care about the Earth, and art, and fitness, and see opportunity for fun at every street corner, every bend in the road.
But the pursuit of fun is just part of it. I'm serious about my craft. These boards are made of wood that has been harvested sustainably or reclaimed. They are individually created works of art.
I'm currently setting up a table at Pike Place Market on Sundays and Mondays, for now… soon I will be there on a more consistent 4-5 day schedule. Stay tuned and/or check the Facebook page for updates.

Our caterpillars went into chrysalis last night. They are all hanging from the top of the cup. They sure did make a huge mess. Should be interesting to see how long it takes for them to change and emerge as a butterflies?
Tag Archives: Caterpillars
Butterflies: Bigger and Messy
Butterflies: Hailey is excited and they are growing
So Hailey asked me to show a photo of her with her gift, the butterfly garden kit. Here she is excited about her gift and can't wait to see how they grow.
The caterpillars at this point are about 1/2 inch long. They are also very active, moving around and eating a lot.
Stay tuned for more butterfly updates.
Butterflies: Package Arrived
Today my daughter's birthday present from my sister's family arrived. It is an Insect Lore Butterfly Garden kit!
So basically as you can see in the image you get a container with butterfly caterpillars in it and a butterfly habitat. The caterpillars are currently a little over 1cm long.
Hailey and I are going to try to post photos and descriptions every few days just to show how they are growing. Should be exciting.

I'm privileged to work with a group of energetic people with an incredible wealth of experience in the commercial printing industry. The skilled management team that steers The Flesh Company is one of our strongest assets and I think you'll be interested to know a bit about the individual expertise of the people that stand behind our custom print solutions.- Roy V. Flesh II
Roy is proud to be the third generation leader of the company, which was founded by his grandfather in 1913. He literally grew up in the print business, and runs the company on the principles of outstanding customer service, constant leadership in technology and product innovation, and a heartfelt commitment to stand behind every order the company produces. The Flesh Company has always been a trade-only manufacturer, and no one understands the needs of our distributors and their customers better than Roy. He is known in the industry as a man of integrity, and insists that his company continuously earns that same reputation. Over half a century ago, Roy's father was a founder of the National Business Forms Association (now called the PSDA), and Roy has continued the tradition of dedicated commitment to this and other important print trade associations. One of the most knowledgeable experts in our industry, Roy has successfully carried on the tradition of innovation, company integrity and growth in the marketplace. When his hectic schedule affords him some free time, Roy enjoys golfing, travelling and spending time with his family. (For more on Roy and the company, go to the CEO's Message and the History sections of the website.)
Randy has been in the printing industry since 1973, and became Plant Manager at the company in 2004. Randall is fully versed in Lean/Sigma methodologies and value stream mapping, and promotes an environment where the workforce is empowered and innovation is encouraged. His mission is to "do the impossible hourly" by reducing costs and lead time and producing quality product that is second to none. Randy's skills have been invaluable as the company migrates to a visual workplace. His work allows him to do what he likes best, teaching and helping people to excel and improve their skill levels as a part of a team that contributes to the success of the operation. When he's not working, Randall enjoys spending as much time as possible with his family.
Paul joined The Flesh Company in October of 2012 as Sales Director bringing with him over 35 years experience in the printing industry. Though his background was primarily in sales management he understands the value of being accessible to front line sales in order to stay in touch with the client base. Paul sees every day as an opportunity to deal with new challenges whether it's helping a new client, fixing a problem or correcting a process issue. A primary value is his ability to listen to the customer's problems and make them vanish.Paul has two children, a daughter in Chicago, IL and a son in Dayton, OH. He and his wife Becky are expecting their first grandchild in March of 2013. He enjoys golf, fishing and is a devoted Cleveland Browns fan.
Charlie enjoys a good challenge, and prides himself on helping others and making sure their needs are met. An important part of Charlie's job is to create the best possible work environment for employees, and standardizing procedures to ensure The Flesh Company produces superb product with speedy turnarounds. He truly strives to be a great leader, sharing as much knowledge as possible with employees while continuing to learn and grow himself. Charlie enjoys hobbies such as creating digital art, playing the guitar and working out at the gym.
Dee has a long history with The Flesh Company, starting back in 1984 when she signed on with the sales department at IMI Business Forms (a sister company that was consolidated into The Flesh Company in 1998). She has steadily grown with the company, having served in roles including account management, quality control and sales management. As the Director of Strategic pricing, her extensive experience and commitment to providing customers "best in class" solutions make her a tremendous asset to her associates and to the company. Dee works by the motto, "Good Enough Never is", and her dedication is infectious. Her passions are family and church, followed by golf and sport of all kinds. "Go Cards! Go Chiefs! Go Mizzou!".
Philip has been with the Flesh Company for 29 years, as an operator, a production supervisor and now the production coordinator. He enjoys working with our employees in promoting team concepts. Though everyone here at the company has a unique job to do, he knows working together to create our best practices is important to a lean and quality conscious work environment. And with Philip's knowledge of our equipment and the products we produce, he is always looking for the most efficient ways to reduce the company's lead times.
Philip and his wife Jody have 3 children and enjoy spending time with their 4 grandchildren. In his spare time he is an avid golfer and enjoys watching his Jayhawks and Sunday football.
