Word of Mouth: Ugali
Ugali [oo-gahl-ee] noun: In Kenya, ugali is the name for the most common mealtime starch: a thick, stiff porridge made from white cornmeal or red millet.
In Kenya, ugali is one of the most common dishes you can find. Served with meat or mashed vegetables, it's practically the national dish. It's found throughout Africa, in fact; in South Africa it may be called pap, and in Zimbabwe you can find it by the name of sadza. Regardless of what it's called, ugali forms the backbone of traditional Kenyan cuisine.
Traditionally, ugali was made with millet - a rich and nutritious grain. But when cornmeal, or maize, found its way to the African continent, it became even more popular as a grain staple. Kenyans usually eat white maize -- not the yellow corn we're used to here in the United States. You see roadside vendors everywhere in the highlands, offering ears of white maize for sale, roasted over charcoal fires until toasted and blackened. These are delicious; they taste a bit more like popcorn than grilled corn.
Ugali is a very simple dish of milled white maize, cooked with water until it's very stiff and pulls away from the side of the pan. It's served in big floppy slabs together with meat and vegetables. The traditional way to eat ugali is to gather it up in small, thumb-sized balls, pressing it together with the tips of your fingers. Then you make a small indentation on one side and use it to scoop up meat, vegetables, or stews. It's a substitute for any sort of cutlery at traditional Kenyan tables.
The sign of good ugali, we were told, is that it isn't sticky. It should hold together well, but it should not stick in wet clumps to your fingers. It should roll smoothly into little balls.
We also tried the red millet ugali, which is much preferred by some Kenyans. It's dense and rich, with small bits of crunchy millet. It's also much richer in protein and nutrients.
And yes, as commenters noted on my post yesterday, there is indeed a drought and food shortage through some parts of Kenya right now. The price of maize has gone up considerably this year, while production has dropped. There's been a drought for over a year, and some of the people we visited were struggling to make ends meet. When there's no rain, there's no work in this predominantly agricultural society.
But I wanted to show you some of the good food of the region first, before turning to its troubles. Africa often gets painted one-dimensionally as a troubled region, but this does it a great disservice, I believe. Most of the Kenyan people we met on this trip were incredibly competent healthcare professionals doing a difficult job with few resources, and I was impressed beyond words.
So, more Kenyan food tomorrow, and some resources, too, on fighting hunger in Kenya and elsewhere.

Thanks for this series! I'm an American, but was born in Kenya and lived in Tanzania til I was six, and as a kid, Ugali was the most fun food ever. You make balls with it! My mom has tried to make it stateside but I haven't--maybe this will give me a chance.
I was really shocked, but in a good way, when I was going through the blogs I read today and saw that you had written about Ugali. You inspired me to do my own ugali post today and I'm glad I finally got around to it.
Hope all is well.
Oh yes, I linked to you, I knew there was something else...
In South Africa we have two kinds of "pap". The one like ugali is called "stywe pap" (stiff porridge) and the other type is called "krummelpap" is more crumbly and dry, and is usually served with "smoor", a tomato and onion sauce. And we'll eat it sweet too, with milk and sugar. Very versatile dish :)
Do you know if this is anything like fufu? When I lived in Brussels I had several friends from Nigeria and Ghana who made fufu and I like it, but haven't been adventurous enough to try it since moving back to the States.
Nom. When on a 5 week camping safari in Kenya/Tanzania, my father & I noticed that the cook, driver & other locals at the campgrounds would eat differently than we would. We asked our cook one night to make us exactly what they were having. He was a bit worried, saying that foreigners don't often like the Ugali. We enjoyed it tremendously! It's not exactly flavorful, but it has a nice texture, is fun to eat and goes well with other dishes.
I like to compare it to a very very thick cream of wheat.
This makes me cry! Ugali was my staple when I was a Peace Corps volunteer for 2 years in Kenya. If you're going to eat Ugali, you need skuma wiki. Here we go. http://7th-taste.com/2012/02/14/kenyan-kale-saute-sukuma-wiki-with-mushroom-olive-oil/
It's called nsima in Zambia and nshima in Malawi, and basically the same. My husband loooves it. I like it ok. :) The very thick cream of wheat analogy is fitting! Thanks for doing this series and for keeping a balanced perspective on the region's benefits and challenges as you write.

As I have been putting Christmas lights outside and decorating the house, I have been thinking about the importance of color and design. Have you ever been to a public place like a restaurant or shop where the decor has made you want to stay?The opposite can also be true(1). I have been to some restaurants where, on entering, I have thought,"This place is awful. I don't want to eat here." So I have turned around and left! Am I unusually(2) fussy? Is it unreasonable(3) to be that way? Perhaps I'm sensitive to atmosphere and environment. Well, obviously I am(4). Certain decor, colors, textures, and arrangements of furniture either please me or turn me off(5). I'm either attracted by them, or they get on my nerves and up my nose(6). That's why this year I, in my fussy way, felt like having a blue and gold Christmas tree.It's not the only color combination you can have, of course, but it's the one I feel like being around(7). The tree itself isn't blue and gold; it's a real, green pine tree. But the decorations are: blue lights, blue and gold baubles(8), and gold ribbon. There is something about that combination that glows in the winter, and seems quite magical. I felt the same feeling when we were on a Disneyland ride in California. We were in the Haunted Mansion which had the theme from the movie 'Nightmare Before Christmas'.It wasn't particularly scary. However, I really liked the presentation of the different scenes, and the atmosphere the decor created. The artists and designers who work there are extremely talented. And that is, in large part, why Disney has been such a success for so many years. We're drawn(9) to its atmosphere.
1. 'The opposite'is useful to use in different ways:
2. 'Unusually' is a word that needs to be practiced because it can be difficult to pronounce:
Un-usu-ally; un-usu-ally; un-usu-ally. *Note, the 's' is pronounced like a 'zh' sound which doesn't exist as a letter in English, but can be found in other words like: measure, leisure, vision, decision.
3. 'Unreasonable' is another word that needs some practice:
Un-reason-able; un-reason-able; un-reason-able.
4. 'Well obviously I am.'Putting the pronoun, or noun, and verb at the end of a sentence adds emphasis.
a. Do you think Anna is fussy? Answer: Oh yes, she is.
5. 'To be turned off' means 'to be put off' or 'to find dislike in something'.
a. The hair in my soup completely turned me off.
6. If something 'gets on your nerves' or 'up your nose' it means that that something is annoying.
a. That actor really gets on my nerves.
7. 'To feel like being around' is to feel comfortable enough to be in a situation.
a. I feel like being around friends during the Christmas season.
8. 'Baubles' are specifically the round, Christmas decorations. We don't call them 'balls'.
a. The glass baubles break so easily.
9. 'To be drawn to something'is the same as being attracted to. It's not just visually drawn to something, but also physically and figuratively.
a. I feel drawn to the South of France.

I haven't field tested this yet with my GoPro and Contour, but I put it on my bike (fork and handle bar) and it feels SUPER solid and its much much easier to put on and take off.
At first it doesn't seem like you could pull it tight enough to make it not slip, but it does.
Will try and follow up with a review after some trail riding.
(you do have to have the tripod adapter for your GoPro to use this)
0 Comments
The sound it pretty good, but the base isn't quit what I was hoping for. When you turn it on it makes this rumbly noise with lots of base so it seems like it could produce some serious thump, but the sound gets fuzzy when I turn it up. I do like that I can charge my iphone or ipod. I can see the light and dry bag coming in handy too as I'll take the Bravern with me when doing trail work. I've also used it as a speaker phone and it worked awesome!
0 Comments
I actually bought this to use with my GoPro so that I could quickly mount it to various spots on my mtnbike. Figured if it could hold the speaker it could hold a GoPro. You do have to have the tri-pod mount for the GoPro. I haven't bombed down a hill yet with it, but it'll fit around a Fox 32 fork with no problem.

Things to do around the Eiffel Tower
November 29th, 2013
Article written by Lorraine, City Guide at Discover Walks Paris
The Eiffel Tower is the most visited public landmark in Paris with 7 million visitors a year. Either you're a forst timer in Paris or not, seeing this building is always a beautiful day. As a Parisian I really advice you no to limit your stroll to the feet of the tower. However it's not always that easy to find nice things to do near the Eiffel Tower as it's not in the very center of Paris, so if you want to make the most out of your trip to Paris, check out my selection of things to do near the Eiffel Tower.
Get to the area with the aerial metro 6.
Metro line 6 is known as the most beautiful line in Paris. it's the only one that crosses the river on a bridge. It will allow you to enjoy the view over all the west of Paris and the Eiffel Tower above all. Get off at Bir-Hakeim, to be at a walking distance to all the main attractions of the area.
Don't miss the best view on the Eiffel tower from Trocadero
Also created during an international exhibition at the end of the XIXth century, the Palace of Trocadero and its garden are located on the other side of the river. From the top of the stairs you will enjoy the best view over the Eiffel Tower.
A great museum just next to the Eiffel tower
Many museums all around the Eiffel tower are less well-known whereas they provide beautiful collections. Museum of Quai Branly is about the primitive arts. Its garden are a peaceful spot in the rush of the tourists. Also, you should try the cafetaria with fresh and tasty food, the terrace has a view over the tower.
Closer to the trocadero, there are the Palace of Tokyo and the Museum of Modern Art. Both organise beautiful exhibitions all year long, and the building itself worths the stroll.
One marvelous bakery called "Aux Merveilleux"
Located between the Champ de Mars and the Invalides, 94 Saint Dominique street, this pastry shop is recommended by all the gourmets of Paris. Small cakes with chocolate mousse and meringue, and covering based on nuts, cherries or almonds are the specialties. Delicious!
Shopping break : Commerce street is here for you
This street starts under the aerian metro line 6 at La Motte Piquet Grenelle stop. It's all about shops and affordable restaurants. You will have a wide choice for a shopping break during your stroll in the area. Lively, and always crowded by parisians, you will enjoy the joyful atmosphere.

Renovations are ongoing at the Brattleboro Retreat to accommodate the additional patients it took on after Tropical Storm Irene shut down the State Hospital in Waterbury.
As the state works out its next steps with FEMA, upgrades to a new wing at the Retreat are moving ahead.
The Brattleboro Reformer reports the state will reimburse the Retreat $5.3 million for that work.
Retreat officials say they have already received some compensation for the renovations from the state, and they hope to see work completed by March.

A cleaning business is any form of business that involves offering cleaning services to individual homes, residential high-rises or even corporate buildings. The vast array of opportunities in cleaning offers people a chance to branch out in any area where they feel that they will be able to offer the best business. Cleanliness is usually a concern to everybody so you can never go wrong when offering people a chance to be in a clean and healthy environment.
When starting a cleaning business, the area that you are in can play a great role in helping you to determine the cleaning services that you can effectively and successfully offer. There are 2 general regions that you can penetrate in cleaning.
Residential areas are a great place to start a cleaning business. This is because most home owners appreciate a level of hygiene that guarantees their health and that of their family. Individuals who are working also don't usually have the time to do their own cleaning and would gladly hire some extra help. However, most homes owners usually invest in house keepers and therefore you need to offer more or something that private staff cannot offer. Professional carpet cleaning can be a very successful venture in a residential area.
The corporate is also another area where you can find opportunities on how to start a cleaning business. Corporate usually hire cleaning agencies since they do not have the capacity to do the cleaning. Offering janitorial services, window cleaning and office cleaning services would be a great venture in the world of corporate cleaning.

Messages from the First Contact Ground Crew Team from Galactic Center
Nancy B. Detweiler, M.Ed., M.Div.
NOTE: I am re-posting this true story to encourage all, who are "waiting" for the financial means to accomplish their desired projects of love for the people of Earth, to take the first step. If you spent the intervening time "waiting," then your message to the universe of helpers is one of waiting. Take action toward your goal, no matter how small it is. As Jesus taught: "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24) To believe that you have already received it is essential. As long as you "wait to receive it," that's what will happen–you'll wait!
Responding to a friend who has just taken the first step into the seeming darkness of Divine Order unfolding, I am reminded of a time in my life when I did the same thing—quit my job because I knew intuitively that it was time. I walked into the darkness, with only my intuition guiding me.

There is much suffering today. Most of it is spiritually derived, no matter how physically challenging it may be.
So many are distressed and feeling there's no way out of this quagmire they're being confronted with. Even for those of us spiritually predisposed and somewhat prepared it's the same story. We're literally at war. Not just of head and heart bashing confrontations, but one of carefully contrived attrition. A starvation of confirming information that reaffirms the simple realities we would otherwise thrive on.
With a big batch of inserted confusion to throw us off to boot.
Before It's News - 12/09/13, by Zen Gardner
Orwell said it quite aptly, "He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past."
The time to wake up is now. Always now. Refuse the false narrative of delay, walking sleep and distraction.
Now says "go for it". Follow the Truth. It's our time to assert.

Working with the Archangels - posted 6 December, 2013
Peace be with you.
So it is, that the energy is being transmitted today to fill your hearts with love and grace. You are asked to call upon your most Christed guides and Masters now for the healing of the planet. Many are worried about the signs of the times now, and uncertain as to the outcome. Be comforted that you are heard and your prayers are creating miracles all over this planet.
The influx of energies from the Sephirothic emanations (emanations on various levels of the Ain Soph) (Light of the revealing Godhead), responsible for the creation of multiple universes are here in force and acting on the body in the higher thresholds of creation.
Dear ones, we see much more hope and light rising from the earth. You do not sense this as we do, because you are in the midst of it. News and media for the most part report only negative events many of which which when understood on a deeper level, are actually clearings. The earth, dear Gaia, who is a living soul…carries pockets of ancient energy still resonating upon her. These must be cleared in order to allow in the higher Light energies of ascension. All is proceeding according to plan both within and without, so try not to judge outer appearances by third dimensional standards. Most news media outlets still resonate with old ways of delivering information in the belief that "shock and awe" are necessary to draw viewers or readers. As mankind evolves there will come a higher type of information gathering by those who will not work in the old tradition, but will instead work on the deeper levels of understanding and love.

There are a lot of good points about buying a maxi scooter like the SR Max. Fuel economy is one, simplicity is the other. There aren't many full-licenced motorcyclists who would buy a scooter on these benefits alone because of the image they portray of being 'a ladies bike'. Maybe this is why Aprilia has wound up the 'sport-styling' knob ...
298cc, 29bhp, 87mph, Insurance group
Practicality and convenience are where today's large capacity scooters come into their own. Such an example is Kymco's new 300i Downtown – we say example because it is a new arrival in a growing populace of big-bore four-stroke scooters.At £3999, the Kymco's 300cc capacity sits performance-wise between Suzuki's Burgman 200 and 400 machines, and matches Honda's SH300i. What sets the ...
244cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
The Piaggio X7 250 ie is halfway between a full-on maxi scooter and a lightweight city scooter, so in theory should offer comfort and a bit of class with some traffic busting ability. It manages it too – it feels substantial and quality but slices traffic like a 50cc scooter.
278cc, 22.4bhp, 85mph, Insurance group 7
The Gilera Nexus sits between the Nexus 125 and the Nexus 500 as the mid-capacity sporty scooter in the Gilera range. The design is based around the concept of a sportsbike, but adapted for a CVT step-through scooter. It's certainly sportier than most big scoots – but essentially it's a commuter with a sports image.
398cc, 34bhp, 95mph, Insurance group
The largest incarnation of the Piaggio MP3 retains the same reassuring all-weather grip and stability afforded by the third wheel, but with more power for motorway cruising. It's no Goldwing, but if your daily commute mixes town work with high-speed open roads, this could be the motorcycle you're looking for.
399cc, 34bhp, 100mph, Insurance group
The biggest yet of Piaggio's peculiar MP3s has an identity crisis. It looks like a scooter but the law classes it the same as a Reliant Robin three-wheeler car. Because Piaggio has added a footbrake and widened the space between the front wheels by 45mm, to 465mm, it falls into category B1 on European driving licences, defined as 'three or ...
460cc, 37bhp, 100mph, Insurance group 8
The Aprilia Atlantic 500 is somewhat boat-like as super scooters go, and heavy with it, but the Atlantic is nevertheless remarkably sprightly. 2005's updates modernised the look and updated the frame and suspension. The Aprilia Atlantic 500 is roomy, stable, practical, rides well with great brakes and lots of nice little touches. Even hardcore bikers could have fun on this.

Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 7:00 pmAtriumFlixDavid Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center
AtriumFlix and JustFilms introduce free monthly screenings of social justice films. Don't miss groundbreaking films and intimate conversations with leading filmmakers.
7:00: Conversation with Alexandra Pelosi directly followed by a screening of the HBO Documentary Film, the Fall To Grace film screening
Alexandra Pelosi spent a decade as an NBC NEWS Producer. In 2000, she was assigned to cover the Bush campaign, which led to her first Emmy award-winning HBO documentary "Journeys with George," which followed the future President George W. Bush on the campaign trail. Since then, she has written, directed and produced seven documentary films for HBO, including: "Diary of a Political Tourist," "Friends of God," "The Trials of Ted Haggard," and "Citizen U.S.A.: A 50 State Road Trip."
Lisa Heller is the SVP of HBO Documentary Films.
Governor Jim McGreevey famously resigned from office after declaring himself 'a gay American'. Since then he has been in jail, ministering to women inmates and in the pulpit on Sundays, training to become an ordained minister. From scandal to salvation, Fall to Grace follows McGreevey's road to redemption. The film debuts on HBO Thursday, March 28.

This class will simulate what a week as a writer for SNL is like, culminating in a live show at 11:30pm on Saturday night. The group will meet for the first time on Sunday, and on Monday have a pitch meeting with the "host" for the week. After the pitch meeting, the writers will go off and write their sketches. They are all due Wednesday at 10am. Wednesday afternoon there will be a read through of all the sketches with the guest host. That night, 12 sketches will be picked. On Thursday, the group will be divided in half and sketches will be rewritten at two tables all day. Friday, the sketches that have been picked will be rehearsed with our cast of performers and the guest host. Saturday, there will be a dress rehearsal of the show at 8:00pm and at 11:30pm on Saturday night, we go live.
Oh hey NYC Improv Festival.
The Peoples Improv Theater uses the techniques, exercises, and games of the improv performer to heighten the skills of attorneys. The course focuses on the attorney as a performer, the power of verbal and non-verbal communication, the ability to deal with the unexpected, listen actively, communicate effectively, and speak in public under stress with extreme confidence.
Is the course accredited?
Yes! Improv(ed) Legal Skills is a 3-Credit New York State approved Continuing Legal Education course, complete with written materials that detail a brief history of improv, the parallel between improv skills and attorney skills, and take-away group and solo exercises.
What is it like?
Our class is a safe, team environment where participants are lead as a group through simple improv warm-ups, exercises, and games that highlight skills that are essential to performers and attorneys alike. After each exercise, the group engages in a dialogue that helps connect the skill to the specific reality of the participating attorneys.
Improv(ed) Legal Skills breaks the mold of traditional lecture/power-point/note-taking CLE, and re-introduces attorneys to a learning style that is interactive, entertaining, and fun. We believe that by challenging the traditional-style of learning, our participants retain more of the information and can easily access the lessons for use in practice.
Who is it for?
IMPROV CLE is taught in a transitional, live-classroom format, and is valuable for both newly admitted and experienced attorneys.
Newly Admitted Attorneys – IMPROV CLE offers an arena to practice trial skills, negotiation techniques, and their individualized team building efforts without the fear of a client's life, liberty or money at risk.
Experienced Attorneys – IMPROV CLE is an opportunity for experienced lawyers to exercise and sharpen their skills to give them an edge over the competition while improving innovative leadership skills.
Areas of Law –Each skill set has its own meaning and application to different areas of law. Non-verbal communication skills can serve both the trial attorney and the negotiator. Persuasion techniques are fundamental in both contract drafting and client interactions. The unique value found in our CLE is the interactivity and group dialogue dynamic. This allows for a platform of self-directed learning where we explore and strengthen the specific skill, and then discuss how we can and will implement the skill into our specific area of law.
While this course is open and available to all areas of law, some of the areas of advancement for former students are litigation, negotiation, deposition, persuasive writing, contract, and client management. Some of the highlights of our course focus on presentation, public speaking, verbal and non-verbal communication, listening, trust, and frustration management.
Where is it taught?
We can teach the CLE in Manhattan either at our theater located at 123 E. 24th Street, or at our training facility Simple Studios at 134 West 29th Street. If you book us to teach your firm, we can accommodate for on site training.
Improv(ed) Legal Skills accommodates any group over 6 people, however we also conduct individual registration ongoing group classes at our learning facilities year round.
Who teaches Improv(ed) Legal Skills?
Improv(ed) Legal Skills is taught by Tommy Galan, Director of Corporate Programming at The Peoples Improv Theater. Tommy is a performer with over 20 years of experience, as well as an attorney in good standing with the New York State Bar Association. After a decade of practicing law, Tommy returned full-time to his passion for performance and sharing the benefits of improvisation. Tommy has successfully handled over 3000 legal cases and maintains an undefeated appellate record. He is also an award-winning performer whose work has been featured at the New York Comedy Festival sponsored by Comedy Central, The Chicago SketchFest, The Toronto Sketch Festival, Los Angeles Comedy Festival, and Montreal Sketch Comedy Festival. He performs regularly in New York City.
How much does it cost?
For information regarding individual cost, group rates, and a copy of our financial aid policy, please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
How can I schedule a CLE for my firm?
If you are interested in scheduling a CLE workshop for your firm, feel free to contact Tommy Galan, Director of Corporate Programming at firstname.lastname@example.com

- ARCH4850 Urban and Architectural History Abroad
- CLTR4944 Cultural Engagement Abroad
Program Description:
Students who participate in this Dialogue will be immersed in the colorful art world of China. They will be introduced to the various historical sites with great significance in the development of Chinese urbanism, architecture, and arts, being it in a city, a village, a temple, or a sacred mountain. They will study Chinese art and architecture first hand while exploring a variety of cultural and ethnic regions in China, developing a solid and comprehensive understanding of Chinese culture through the direct observation of its urban and artistic expressions. Students will also participate in a cultural and professional dialogue with architects in Beijing and Shanghai, artists in Hangzhou, musicians in Nantong, and students from the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (CALA), Peking University. Written work and group projects will compare China and the U.S. on topics of urbanization, architectural practice, artistic expressions, and historical preservation and interpretation.
The five-week long program will be divided into two parts. During the first three weeks, students will use Peking University as the base, attending lectures and workshops while exploring China's most important cultural, political, and economic center and its vicinities, including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palaces. During the first three weeks in Beijing, each student will be paired up with a Peking University student, a dialogue pal to exchange cultures and language skills while having meals in the university dinning halls on daily basis. Weekend excursions bring students to the terra-cotta armies in Xi'an and the Buddhist Caves in Luoyang, both ancient capitals from the pre-Song eras. During the last two weeks, students will be on a comprehensive tour visiting other significant sites in Chinese art, architectural, and urban histories, including the best architecturally preserved Shanxi province, the Modern cosmopolitan Shanghai, the garden city Suzhou, the Southern Song capital Hangzhou, the typical Jiangnan water towns, and a variety of historic religious sites.

When Doors drummer John Densmore gets offers to sell the legendary band's music for commercial purposes, he asks himself one simple question: What would Jim Morrison do?
The lead singer, who died in 1971, was adamant that the band's music never be used for unseemly reasons.
"I understand the difficult musical situation," Densmore said in a recent telephone interview. "I get that. It's hard out there. … But money is like fertilizer. When hoarded, it stinks."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will be at the Taylorsville Graywhale store on Saturday signing copies of his new book, The Doors: Unhinged. The book is a philosophical treatise on money and integrity, as well as a fascinating behind-the-scenes narrative of his often-acrimonious legal battles with the band's two other members, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, who died on May 20.
The trio fought over the use of The Doors' name for a tour that included Krieger and Manzarek; they also battled when Densmore vetoed a reported $15 million offer by Cadillac to use "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" in a car commercial.
Cadillac ended up using Led Zeppelin for its "Break Through" marketing campaign.
"All I have to go on was how [Morrison] was when he was alive," Densmore said. "He was hoping that his lyrics said something about the human condition, not 'Break On Through' [being the name] of a new deodorant."
It's not the first time a carmaker has wanted to use The Doors' music for commercial purposes. In 1968, Densmore, Krieger and Manzarek wanted to deal with Buick for the rights to "Light My Fire." But Morrison threatened to sue General Motors and destroy a Buick with a sledgehammer if they went through with the deal. The song, of course, was never used.
After that, the band agreed to split everything equally and gave each member veto power — if only three of the members agreed on something, they would not go through with it.
"Jim went ballistic about Buick," Densmore said, adding that Krieger was actually the primary writer of "Light My Fire."
"Jim cared about the catalog."
For Densmore, writing the book was "cathartic." He said he has no animosity toward Manzarek and Krieger. In fact, after Manzarek was diagnosed with bile-duct cancer, Densmore sent him and Krieger the final chapter of The Doors: Unhinged, an acknowledgment of how much he appreciated them.
Before Manzarek passed, the two talked by telephone. It was a "good conversation. … Fortunately, we had closure."
Densmore acknowledged that all this talk about "selling out" seems ironic, seeing as how he is traveling the country trying to sell a book about The Doors. But, he pointed out, his limited book-promotion tour stops only at independent record stores.
Of course, Graywhale was happy to host Densmore.
Dustin Hansen, general manager of Graywhale Entertainment, said Densmore has been a big supporter of national Record Store Day, when independent record stores are given the opportunity to sell special releases.
"It blew my mind," Densmore said of learning about Record Store Day. "Borders came to town and kicked out the independent stores. And then they got their karma."
The Doors: Unhinged
Doors drummer John Densmore will sign copies of his new book.
Where • Graywhale, 1775 W. 4700 South, Taylorsville
When • Saturday, July 27, at 2 p.m.
Cost • Fans must purchase a book to attend the signing. Books are $24.99 for a hard cover, $14.99 paperback.
Info • Densmore will sign books and one other Doors-related item.

World Food Program
Summary of Findings
Final:In 2002, USDA contributions to the ongoing WFP school feeding program made it possible to feed 33,360 additional students in Cameroon. As a result, the World Food Program's school feeding operation benefited 125,360 students. The contribution also increased the number of girls receiving take-home rations. Provisions for the additional 3,571 rations helped WFP provide 9,536 girls with supplemental food. During the year, school enrollment increased by an average of 36% in some beneficiary institutions. Overall, girls' enrollment increased by 28.3% during the period while dropout rates decreased significantly.
Midterm:WFP assistance to Cameroon in the education sector began in 1992. School feeding activities aim to increase school enrollment and attendance by girls. The activity is located in the country's northern and eastern provinces. In these areas, the program targets schools where girls account for less than 40% of the student body and at least 40% of the students live more than 4 kilometers away. Preference is given to areas where the overall enrollment rate is below 30%. The project's goal is to provide assistance to an estimated 49,000 pupils. Assistance includes a daily meal for all beneficiaries, both boys and girls, and a quarterly dry food ration to families who keep their daughters in school during the last two years of the primary education cycle (33% of beneficiaries). Effective targeting methods have led to a 7% increase, on average, in the female retention rate.
Country Overview
Final:The recession of the last 15 years has brought public investment in the education sector to a halt, particularly in the area of construction of school facilities, the recruitment of teachers and the purchase of educational materials. As a result, some teacher training centers were closed and school dropout rates have risen. According to a WFP and UNESCO evaluation conducted in 2001, the gross enrollment rate dropped from 96% in 1989 to 73% in 1995. Poverty is one of the major causes of missed educational opportunities and encourages the education gap between boys and girls in the Extreme North, North and Adamaoua provinces. In these areas, less than 15% of adults in the rural areas complete primary school. In urban centers, less than 10% of women complete their basic education while less than 5% do so in rural areas.
Parents in these regions see education as a costly expenditure with few benefits rather than a necessary investment or an opportunity. In Cameroon, there are many reasons for keeping a child out of school. Poverty, insufficient numbers of schools, the cost of school supplies and education fees, and the early integration of children, especially girls, into household income-generating activities prevent children in Cameroon from getting an education.
Midterm:Cameroon, a low-income, food deficit country, is in the middle of a serious economic recession characterized by a substantial drop in gross domestic product (GDP), a fall in household incomes and the introduction of draconian budget cuts established under the framework of a structural adjustment program. Consequences of these macro-economic phenomena include an increase in poverty and food insecurity levels, especially in the country's northern and eastern regions. Basic social services, and education in particular, have been hard-hit by tight financial restrictions and are no longer able to respond to the demands. As a result, an alarmingly large number of children, many of them girls, are no longer sent to school.
Demographic pressures like population growth, high population density, under-utilization of inputs, inadequate extension, disorganized markets and post-harvest losses have led to a fall in food crop production and the amount of food available per capita. From 1982-1996, daily caloric intake fell from 2,300 calories to 1,981.
Faced with the difficulties of making ends meet and the direct and indirect costs of their children's education, many families have chosen to withdraw their children from school. Parents cannot afford to pay school fees and the official and unofficial contributions required to keep the schools running. In addition, they often need the labor of their children, especially girls, to work in the fields or in the home. Without a meal or snack during the school day, children who attend school have little energy and are unable to concentrate on their lessons.
Commodity Management
Final:In 2002, the WFP school feeding program in Cameroon received US food donations totaling 390 metric tons of cereals.
Midterm:The selection of the food basket takes into account the beneficiaries' food preferences and includes cereals, vitamin A-enriched vegetable oil, leguminous vegetables, and iodized salt to remedy nutritional deficits common in the targeted regions.
The ration's nutritional value (714 kilocalories, 18 grams of protein, and 21 grams of fat) represents 30 to 35% of the energy intake recommended for school children (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization norms). The ration is completed by fresh condiments and vegetables (onions, vegetables, niébé, etc.) supplied by local communities through school management committees or parents' associations. The meal is served between 10 a.m. and noon.
Cameroon's Ministry of Education is responsible for the project strategy and implementation. Other responsibilities include setting up the school canteens; training local communities, teachers and canteen managers; and organizing project monitoring and evaluation activities. It is the responsibility of the head teacher and the school management committee to collect and transport commodities from local distribution centers to the schools.
Under this activity, dry rations intended for girl's families are distributed by parents' associations. This network redistributes food to the girl's mothers within a maximum period of two weeks and keeps an account of all quantities received and distributed. Parent associations and school feeding management committees work together to monitor the program and to complete required periodic reports.
The 1,060 metric tons of U.S.-donated corn arrived in September 2001.
Project Overview
Final:Through the school feeding program, all participating boys and girls received a daily meal consisting of 150 grams of cereals, 15 grams of oil, 20 grams of pulses and 5 grams of salt.
In addition, take-home rations were distributed to girls. The dry ration serves as an income transfer for parents to compensate them for the girl's absence from household income-generating activities. During the last three years of primary school, the supplementary food provision encourages families to keep their daughters in school through the end of the primary school cycle.
In Cameroon, the school day begins at 8:00 in the morning and ends at 1:00 in the afternoon. Students eat lunch in the school canteen under their teacher's supervision. Parent associations help oversee the management of these kitchens and distribute the take-home rations to participating girls at the end of each school term.
Due to a lack of clean drinking water in targeted schools, WFP was unable to provide students with a glass of reconstituted milk to further curb short-term hunger. Nevertheless, in anticipation of improved sanitary conditions under a new UNICEF partnership involving the construction of potable school water systems in 2003, WFP has requested powdered milk supplies from the United States. The milk will be served during the mid-morning break and will help alleviate short-term hunger. Mid-morning snacks help improve student's ability to concentrate, allowing them to excel in their studies and improve their academic performance.
Midterm:WFP assistance to Cameroon in the education sector began in 1992. The present expansion aims to increase enrollment and attendance in schools among girls and to retarget the project on the country's northern and eastern provinces. Eligible for WFP assistance are schools where girls account for less than 40% of students and where at least 40% of students live more than 4 kilometers away. Preference is given to areas where the overall enrollment rate is below 30%.
The immediate objectives of the project are as follows:
Increase the number of children going to primary schools in poor areas afflicted by food insecurity;
Augment pupils' capacity to learn by providing them with a nutritionally balanced meal; and
Raise enrollment and attendance rates among girls ages 6 to 14 in the targeted provinces.
The Government of Cameroon, WFP, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and other organizations also undertake awareness-raising campaigns regularly to promote girls' education and to ensure that local groups are committed to basic education and joint management activities. UNICEF has a complementary program to promote girls' education in the poverty-afflicted northern provinces.
Project Impact
Final:WFP's recent vulnerability assessment made it possible to classify Cameroon's provinces according to food security, education, health and nutrition levels. It also helped demonstrate how natural factors, agricultural production levels, low educational attainment, inadequate facilities and poverty level incomes are responsible for vulnerability and food insecurity in the North.
Moreover, an analysis of the education situation revealed significant disparities among regions, rural and urban areas, and between genders. Less than 15% of adults living in the rural areas of the three northern provinces (Adamaoua, North and Extreme North) completed their primary school education. The situation for women is even worse – with only 5% of the female population having access to basic education. The gross enrollment rate is 55% in this area, while it varies between 65 and 100% in the rest of the country. Approximately 50% more boys than girls receive an education in the regions of the North and Extreme North while 30% more boys than girls receive an education in Adamaoua province. The main cause of this disparity is poverty. Families cite the cost of education as the main reason children do not attend school in these areas. Some social and cultural factors also limit the education of girls.
In this context, the impact of the school feeding program was considerable. Through parents associations, WFP emphasized active parental participation and the gradual assumption of program management responsibilities. Special attention was given to women and activities that helped them achieve decision-making roles within these committees.
The food commodities supplied by WFP were a successful incentive for parents who had been reluctant to send girls to school. In addition, participation in the parent committees helped elevate the general perception of the value of education within the community.
Women's participation in the management of school canteens and their contribution to meal preparation became opportunities for personal development as well.
Student enrollment and attendance rates increased substantially. During the year, enrollments increased by an average of 36% in some beneficiary institutions. Over the same period, girls enrollment increased by an average of 28.3%. In the coming years, WFP hopes to see the enrollment rate for girls in these regions increase to 50% or more. Specific support for keeping girls in school during the last three grades of primary school also helped lower the dropout rate and discouraged parents from taking their daughters out of school for early employment or marriage. The number of girls receiving take-home rations has increased from 7,429 to an average of 9,536 a year.
The program also benefited from the Government's 2001 decision to bolster the primary school workforce. The Government recruited a total of 3,000 teachers (1,700 of whom were previously substitute teachers) and reopened 22 teacher-training centers that had previously been closed due to the recession. The education sector underwent a marked improvement, with the teacher/student ratio shifting from1/150 to 1/60 in the schools receiving WFP assistance.
In October 2002, WFP approved a new Country Program that will continue supporting school feeding activities in Cameroon. The project will continue to focus on increasing student enrollment and attendance levels at schools in the three poorest northern provinces in the country. The activity will target the provinces in the North where access to education poses an economic problem for underprivileged households as reflected in the enrollment rates, which are lower than 30%. Moreover, the education gap between boys and girls varies between 30 and 50%, as compared to 10% in the country's other regions. The goal will be to promote an overall rebalancing of education to ensure opportunities for the poorest and most underserved populations, including girls.
Midterm: The project's expected outputs are to provide assistance to an average of 49,000 pupils, and consist of the following:
A daily meal for all pupils, both boys and girls, in the schools covered (100% of beneficiaries); and
A quarterly dry ration to families keeping their daughters at school during the last two years of primary schooling (33% of beneficiaries).
The number of school girls receiving dry rations will increase from 15,000 in the project's first year to 16,000 in the second and 16,500 in the third and fourth years.
By targeting age groups between 6 and 14, WFP has focused on a population that traditionally stops attending school or drops out of school altogether. The girls targeted are remaining in school and thereby delaying marriage, pregnancy, and cyclical poverty.
Enrollment levels of girls targeted in the Cameroon school feeding program have increased over the last three years by 16% on average. Enrollment of girls increased nearly 50% during the first years of the program. Since the school feeding program began, the Government of Cameroon has also started committing additional funds to education. Results so far include increases in the number of teachers and an improved curriculum.
GFE In Action
Hélène attends public school in Djoumassi, a village located 8 km from Garoua, the capital city of the North Province of Cameroon. In September 1998, Hélène's school was selected to participate in WFP's School Feeding Program.
Hélène's family is very poor, as are most of the people in Djoumassi. Although her father is a farmer, he does not own any land. At the beginning of the rainy season, he rents 2,500 square meters of land for 5,000 Cameroonian francs. In good years, this parcel yields an average of 500 kgs of sorghum and maize, but it is not enough to meet his family's basic needs.
To make ends meet, Hélène's father sells firewood that the family gathers, illegally, from the nearest mountaintop.
Hélène and her family live in two little huts made of mud and covered with straw roofs. In these huts, there is neither electricity nor running water. During the six months that follow the harvest, Hélène and her family eat two meals a day. For the second half of the year, the family survives on one meal a day.
Five of the children go to schools without furniture while one is still too young to enroll. After the family's two mothers left home following a divorce, Hélène was left to care for the house and five children. In this part of the country, children always remain with the father. As Héléne was the oldest daughter, the responsibility for managing the household fell to her.
"This situation was very hard to manage," she says, "I returned from school to cook for my brothers and sisters. Thanks to WFP, we now have a meal at school which helps us cope."
Hélène's father does not make enough money to pay the school fees for all of his children. He does, however, make extra efforts to ensure that Héléne can attend because she receives a take-home ration of 50 kg of maize at the end of the each quarter. Five or 10 kgs of this food is sold to purchase the few extra items like dry fish, soap, sugar, and salt that are needed at home while the rest is consumed by the family.
Take-home rations are precious for poor rural households in the northern regions of Cameroon. A girl receiving a dry ration is respected by her entire village. For her parents, the rations bring additional consideration and honour as well.
Take-home rations are effective incentives for girls to attend school. In regions where girls do not usually go to school because they marry at an early age, WFP food aid has helped make it possible for more girls to enroll in school and attend classes on a regular basis.
