A Forum reader recently asked:
"Can someone tell me how I can disable the Document tab? We don't use GroupWise for document management."
And here's the response from Jim Michael ...
You can do it in one of two ways:
1a. Edit webacc.cfg.
1b. Change User.Access.document=true to false.
1c. Restart Tomcat.
2a. Use ConsoleOne to nagivate to your GroupWiseWebAccess object. This is usually under your GroupWise domain container, and you can only see it in normal view, not GW view.
2b. Go to Application > Settings and un-check "Access Document Management".
2c. Restart Tomcat.
Novell "prefers" you use the snap-ins (ConsoleOne) to update such settings, but in reality ALL they are doing is updating webacc.cfg, so to my knowledge they will support a direct edit of the snapins. It's all the same (if you don't make any typos ...)
Disclaimer: As with everything else at Cool Solutions, this content is definitely not supported by Novell (so don't even think of calling Support if you try something and it blows up).
It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.

Guilty pleas entered in Oklahoma paddlefish eggs case
BY DAVID HARPER World Staff Writer
Thursday, February 21, 2013
2/21/13 at 8:00 PM
Four men have pleaded guilty in Tulsa federal court to violating the law through their handling of Oklahoma paddlefish eggs.
James Chapman, 50, of Swifton, Ark., and Jay C. Witt, 46, of Pineville, Mo., as well as Sulphur Springs, Ark., residents Jeremy Waldrip, 32, and Lee A. Jobe, 37, all entered the pleas Wednesday.
Chapman stated in his plea agreement that he knew it was illegal to transport unfrozen paddlefish eggs out of the state of Oklahoma and to co-mingle paddlefish eggs.
Paddlefish are sharklike plankton-eaters that can grow as large as 200 pounds, making them one of the largest freshwater fish.
Paddlefish eggs are seen by some as a more available and affordable alternative to the caviar associated with sturgeon that are taken from the Caspian Sea.
Chapman said in his plea agreement that on multiple occasions in 2007 and 2008 he was part of a group that "snagged" paddlefish in northeastern Oklahoma. He stated that in 2007 he sold about 250 pounds of paddlefish eggs to a commercial fisherman in Missouri for between $6,000 and $7,000.
At some point in 2008, he was paid $1,620 for paddlefish eggs by a fisherman, he said.
Chapman also detailed an April 22, 2008, transaction in which he received only $120 from a paddlefish egg sale that didn't prove lucrative because 40 of the 44 pounds had spoiled.
Witt, Waldrip and Jobe said in their plea agreements that they gave away the eggs from paddlefish they caught in Oklahoma. However, they admitted knowing that the eggs would be sold and that they were breaking the law.
The four men are all free on bond and are scheduled to be sentenced on May 23. They all pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges filed on Feb. 7 by Claire Whitney, a senior trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice's Environmental Crimes Section. The case was investigated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The four men face no more than one year in prison.

Drawing on Uganda's rich baseline of wetland data and poverty mapping, this report provides a detailed examination of the links between ecosystem services and the location of poor communities and presents practical lessons for policy-makers across government.

This larger document lets you print the maps at the highest available resolution.
Uganda has abundant natural wealth. Its varied wetlands, including grass swamps, mountain bogs, seasonal floodplains, and swamp forests, provide services and products worth hundreds of millions of dollars per year, making them a vital contributor to the national economy. Ugandans use wetlands—often called the country's "granaries for water"—to sustain their lives and livelihoods. They rely on them for water, construction material, and fuel, and use them for farming, fishing, and to graze livestock. Wetlands supply direct or subsistence employment for 2.7 million people, almost 10 percent of the population. In many parts of the country, wetland products and services are the sole source for livelihoods and the main safety net for the poorest households. Sustainable management of Uganda's wetlands is thus not only sound economic policy, it is also a potent strategy for poverty reduction.
Recognizing this, Uganda's Government was the first to create a national wetlands policy in Africa. Over the past decade, Uganda has also instituted the National Wetlands Information System, a rich database on the use and health of Uganda's wetlands which in its coverage and detail is unique in Africa.
This publication builds on those initiatives by combining information from the wetlands database with pioneering poverty location maps developed by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics. The new maps and accompanying analyses will help policy-makers classify wetlands by their main uses, conditions, and poverty profile and identify areas with the greatest need of pro-poor wetland management interventions. The information generated can also be fed into national poverty reduction strategies and resource management plans.
This is an innovative, pragmatic approach to integrating efforts to reduce poverty while sustaining ecosystems which has implications for improving policy-making in Uganda and beyond.
The publication is aimed at high level decision-makers and has two key purposes:
Mapping a Better Future: How Spatial Analysis Can Benefit Wetlands and Reduce Poverty in Uganda uses an innovative approach to integrate spatial data on poverty and wetlands use. Drawing on Uganda's rich baseline of wetland data and poverty mapping, the report provides a detailed examination of the links between ecosystem services and the location of poor communities and presents practical lessons for policy-makers across government.
The maps and analyses in this publication are primarily illustrative, but do support the following conclusions:
Further strengthening Uganda's supply of data and analytical capacity will provide major returns for the country's people and natural resource base by improving wetland management planning and prioritization efforts, especially in these two areas:
Improvements in lives, livelihoods, and wetland health could result directly from this supply of new maps and analyses. Specifically, government agencies could use the information to act on decision-making opportunities in these four areas:

Well, in an effort to know exactly what candy to avoid, I've put together a list of the top 10 grossest Halloween candies of all time. Some are pretty disgusting, others are even worse.

What is 1.50 worth in todays money?
That is hard to say and computing the relative value of money is always a headache. As an example a new Victorian two story home of 1800 square feet cost $1,000 in 1898. (I owned one.) today? Oh, (depending upon location) $250,000.
A new Colt Peacemaker cost $13 or so then, and today bout $1300. A beer then, cost from 2 cents to a nickel. Today? $4.
In those days housing was cheap and food expensive, relatively speaking. A steak dinner cost .20 or a quarter. Today, maybe $25.
So, it's hard to know, but I'd guess that $1.50 then would have the purchasing power of about $150 today, but it depends upon the product and its rariety. During the California Gold Rush an egg cost a buck.
I have a "Remember When" sticker on my frig. According to it the cost of a new house the year I was born (1946) was approx. 5,600.00. Average income per year was 2,500.00 and a new car was 1,125.00.
I was born in 1945.
My dad bought a home in San Anselmo CA in 1961 for 16,000. Today? It'd sell for about 1,300,000. At the peak? $3 million.
The relative value of money is always hard to compute because manufactured items were hand made and expensive and today mass produced and cheaper. Lots of reasons it is hard to do.
As an example: The Emperiior Napolean ate with the most expensive table ware in existance. More expensive than gold. What was it made of? Aluminum.
At this point according to what the expert told me the only authenticated photo of BTK is so damaged that it would be impossible to say for any certainty that any other photo is a match. About the only thing we are left with is a maybe.
I discussed the image with an "expert" at the Smithsonian and was told the same thing, however; we can take some hints from the Upham tintype. We know, for instance that the kid's eyes were blue (or gray) he had longish wavy hair, we see his buck teeth and something of the shape of his jaw. In that picture he has shifted his neck backwards to fit into the neck brace so it distorted his jaw and neck. He looks like he had a goiter. He did not.
Yes you could call me an expert.I have degrees in art history and social history.have worked with museums in artifact conservation as well as accession/de accession of materials.,deal in antiques(mostly Victoriana with a focus on early clothing and paper ephemera,especially photographica),consult on interior renovation of historic structures,am a working artist and have a sideline business making authentic men's Victorian clothing reproductions.I collect early view and portrait cameras and early photographs and a friend and I are undertaking reproducing original process collodion ferrotypes and pre gelatin albumin prints.
Why can't the "experts "agree?Most have very specific knowledge and haven't devoted themselves to learning all the areas that they should be familiar with.It takes a lot of experience in a number of areas of study to see the broader picture and actually apply them usefully.
Anthony: I have seen some of the new tintypes...Ferro graphs and I'm glad to see people making them again. Do you have a copy of Revealing Character? Shows many modern tintypes, mostly of cowpokes in one ranch. It's interesting.
The making of tintypes was popular from about 1855 (the process was discovered in France in 1852) until the early 1920's. They were not expensive and they lasted. They didn't break like the glass plate processes. They didn't fade if properly displayed. The fact that the subject has to "freeze" for the camera, I believe, makes for a truer image.
I wish I could show you my collection in the flesh. Arrayed on a table top it becomes obvious that they are authentic. They overfill a card table. I'm showing them to John Middlteon's grandson (great grandson?) [He's not sure which either.] tomorrow. I'll take a pic of them in mass and post it.
Did you note the picture of the gent in tails that I posted yesterday? Interesting clothing. I'd like your opinion.
As for experts agreeing? If we were talking about images of Abe Lincoln and his family there would be no issue as to authenticity, but the kid is a loaded topic.
I very much appreciate your input in all of these threads here. I'm happy that we've had this chance to chat.
Steve McCarty
I'd say this is compelling proof-the same intelligent facial expression,the same sly grin.This must be a more formal sitting however as the famous hat is missing.Correct me if 'I'm wrong here but he looks rather drunk-well in his cups!
In my opinion it's not a formal portrait, but a mug shot.

"I see this trip [as an] attempt by the administration to solidify policy on Africa…There are very clear signals that the U.S. is concerned about being edged out of the African market by China and other countries; specifically at a time when Africa is clearly emerging economically and politically." – Mwangi Kimenyi
"The U.S. involvement around the [HIV/AIDs] issue has been increasing both in the Bush era and has continued in the Obama era. [It] dominates a lot of the donor funding and the assistance to South Africa, and it dominates U.S. engagement with South Africa." – Haroon Bhorat

n;December;28,;2011,;the;U.S.;Foodand;Drug;Administration;(FDA);learnedfrom a juice manufacturer that it haddetected low levels of carbendazim(Derosal®) in some of its orange juiceproducts and also in some of its competitors' products.
The pesticide was also reported in some Brazilian orange juice concentrate that had not been processed into finished product.1
Shortly;thereafter,;FDA;sent;a;letter;to;the;Juice Products Association—the trade association that represents the fruit and juice products industry—stating that carbendazim is a pesticide that is not approved for use on oranges in the United States and that its residues are;not;allowed;in;orange;juice.;Accordingly,;FDA;will not permit orange juice products containing measurable levels of carbendazim to continue to enter the country.
While;FDA;maintains;that;orange;juice;in;the;U.S. does not pose a safety concern due to the presence of this pesticide, the fact that carbendazim and its residues have been detected in imported orange juice is nonetheless illegal.
Carbendazim is a fungicidal pesticide that is not legal for use on oranges in the U.S. but is allowed in many countries. The burden of proof falls on juice importers to ensure that such products are not contaminated prior to entry into U.S. markets.
Food Safety Magazine;Editorial;Board;member;Larry Keener states that importers have a responsibility to follow the code of regulations for any agricultural O
product they are bringing into the U.S. from a foreign country, including asking the foreign supplier what chemicals are put on the product; what residues remain after harvest and processing; what the risks to public health may be and to establish programs in that country for quality testing and screening of those products. Only after the test results are known can one agree to take receipt of the food product.
Keener emphasizes that contracts should be used to establish best practices, including all processes, monitoring programs and banned chemicals, and to give suppliers options should a particular chemical used in that country not be acceptable for use in the U.S. An objective third-party testing laboratory (properly qualified) can confirm that the contract is being implemented.
Problems occur, he notes, when the supply chain cannot be verified. Importers must be exceedingly aggressive in this regard.
Keener provides the following example. When importing food from the;Middle;East,;quality;reports;turned up lindane, an agricultural, neurotoxic insecticide. He immediately hopped a plane to the region to visit the producer. Upon entering the plant, he smelled a chemical with a characteristic pesticide odor, which had been used to control a recent insect infestation at the facility. The chemical was lindane and it had inadvertently contaminated the food.
Coordination is imperative between importers and exporters, as well as with any brokers who may find a grower or processor for the importer. Having additional layers between the importer and primary producer can sometimes obscure supply chain verification; therefore, a thorough knowledge of all involved parties is essential.
It is also of critical importance that

From the University of Arkansas:
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - At the end of day one and through four events in the heptathlon, the top-ranked University of Arkansas men's track and field team has three athletes in scoring position at the 2013 Southeastern Conference Championships. Sophomore Nathanael Franks leads a trio of Razorbacks with his third-place spot. He is followed by teammates Matt Kirbos in fourth place and Julius Sommer in sixth.
The heptathlon resumes Saturday with the final three events and will represent Arkansas' first scoring opportunity of the weekend. Day two of the conference meet will also offer chances for points with entries in the finals of the 3,000 meters, high jump and long jump. Saturday's competition begins at 10 a.m. (CT) with the weight throw at Walker Pavilion. Action at the Randal Tyson Track Center starts at noon.
"Today went really well," multi-events coach Travis Geopfert said. "Across the board, all three of those guys had personal bests. They just had a phenomenal day and competed really well. The long jump was a really key event for us to get the ball rolling and they kept building off that."
During the course of Friday's four events, Franks scored 3,081 points posted two personal-best performances with his efforts in the long jump and high jump. He added nearly 11 inches to his PR in the long jump with his day's best of 6.99m/22-11.25 and was more than an inch over his personal best in the high jump with a final clearance of 1.95m/6-4.75. Franks added a second-place finish in the shot put with a throw of 13.91m/45-7.75.
In his first SEC competition since the 2011 season, Kirbos responded with 3,049 points and a pair of personal-best efforts. He opened his day with a lifetime best of 7.12 over 60 meters and added another PR of 13.45m/44-1.5 in the shot put. Kirbos' mark in that event was more than two feet past his previous best. He finished third overall in both the 60 meters and shot put.
Sommer made his conference debut with 3,000 points on day one and personal-best marks in each of Friday's four events. In his first event of the day, he clocked in at 7.34 in the 60 meters. He followed that with marks of 7.04m/23-1.25 and 13.22m/43-4.5 in the long jump and shot put, respectively. The Razorback freshman added more than a foot to his shot put personal best. Sommer closed out his day with a clearance of 1.92m/6-3.5 in the high jump.

Originally I used this website to promote a painting I completed that I am proud of in hopes to get Taylor Swift—the person the painting is of, to see it. What has changed is not the latter objective but the final goal, which is no longer about me.
I have had this lingering thought in the back of my head for some time and it just became apparent to me that it is something that I need to do. I was promoting this painting for my own ends of starry-eyed smittenness but things are bigger than that.
There is a charity organization, Mercury One, that I am now a member of and is very close to my heart, and they are planning what may be the largest service project ever to be organized / undertaken and it's next month in Dallas, TX. The costs to the organization are astronomical and it was announced today have just been bumped up. Since I will be attending this monumental event put on by Mercury One next month, I decided that I was going to help and hopefully significantly and try to do so in a unique way—which is the only option seeing as I am a recent college grad and a server in a restaurant. I have to get creative about trying to contribute something significant.
I want to contribute something more than just attendance and service, something to help defer the costs of this event, entitled "Restoring Love," so we can continue to get this show on the road and restore love and compassion towards our neighbors and those in need and show what American's do best—help when times are tough and offer a lending hand up, as individuals.
This painting isn't worth much as is. However, I was thinking, if we could get the person I've painted to sign it, with an online auction with 100% of the winning bid going straight to Mercury One towards Restoring Love, I'm sure we could raise just a leeeedle more money and draw some attention to this great organization than if I were to sell this painting on as is.
So help me spread this around, twitter, facebook, the like so we can get @TaylorSwift13 to paint that infamous signature on this canvas and with the flick of a paintbrush—which occurred by means of your tweet and my incessant, timid, badgering, (and painting of course)—we will have assisted a fantastic charity organization in facilitating a monumental service project.
Head over to www.mercuryone.org and check out all of the amazing work that is being done over there, and if you're able, get involved!
Thanks so much and God Bless,
-Christopher Reid Alexander
Intent The original intent for this painting was to paint. To create—to create art to the best of my ability and to stretch those abilities. Then the idea came: hey, I should send it to her when it's finished, or at least try to show it to her, explain a little bit about it, perhaps she'll be complemented. That idea, too, of course progressed.. So this page is a vehicle for all of that. It is inevitably self-indulgent but my purposes are not to glorify myself whatsoever but to create a platform so I can pursue the final stage of the painting—and that is getting it to the person it was intended for.
The February 13th Project.
The work in discussion is a 30"x40" oil on canvas painting of Ms. Taylor Swift.
Here it is:
I began the painting on February 13th, 2012. I have been painting for nearly two years (give or take), I am relatively self-taught, and much of that process happened in painting this work, which is one of the reasons I am so happy with it, it is not only the lessons I've learned but the product.
January 2012: The start of my last semester before graduation, I'm a little short on credits. I'm aware that the University does "Directed Study" programs which are pretty much DIY courses that the student proposes the coursework for and conducts on his or her own time while reporting back to the instructor. My previous art teacher agreed and by February I had completely changed the original idea for something new.
[unnecessary detail: The original idea was to further study some techniques of famous painters and create replicas (I said "forgeries" because it sounds so much cooler—and because the book The Art Forger's Handbook had been my kickoff into studying painting techniques on my own—and yes, in my head I do sometimes pretend I'm Neal Caffrey).]
I was set out to copy a work of Bouguereau and something else. I got started but never came to fruition.
I realized that the reason I couldn't stay focused and it was because I was trying to paint someone else's muse. Someone else's dream, someone else's inspiration and it even though it might have been beautiful, I was motivated by an intellectual feeling, not a creative one.
I realized I needed to paint my own muse.
I had been listening to the Fearless album while painting for some time. I have always thought Taylor beautiful and I realized how taken I was with her as a writer as well. I'm a hopeless romantic so of course I love her songwriting.
But it was more than that, I saw her interviewed a few times and was just blown away by who she was as a person. I remember her raising something like $750k in a single night for the tornado relief right after it happened. And what the heck have I done with my life. Here was this girl, this beautiful girl, who is extremely talented, and creative, and charitable, and need I go on?
So yeah, I was moved by her, inspired by her, ….andunabashedly schoolboy-crush enamored with her—needless to say she kept my attention so I set out to paint her.
I am sharing all of this with you all in hopes it will make its way to the muse herself. People say to pursue your dreams, but why does no one say: "pursue your dream girl?"
Will you please accept this painting as a gift? It would be an honor if so. I would love to present it to you in person—and while I'm at it, let me stop dancing around what I really want to say, what I really want to ask and that is: will you come out with me—on a date, say…for dinner? (Yes, that came out shyly even in writing).
Hey Tay-lor, I can give you fif-ty reasons why I should be the one you choose, yeah those other guys, may be suit-a-ble, but would they paint pic-tures of you?
[Let's get this viral, help me by tweeting it so we can get her to see it on her twitter feed!]
Early February I heard a song from my childhood. It was the song I remember hearing from every long car ride my family ever took and a song I have always liked and to this day proclaim to be one of the best songs of all time—Don McLean's "American Pie."
It brought me back to the "American Pie" days, of classic Americana. I stretched back to the paintings of Norman Rockwell. The days of ice cream parlors and soda shops. Polka dots and sock hops and swing. East coast swing, west coast swing. Skinny ties and nice, brimmed hats.
I haven't shown all of that—obviously—but it was the aesthetic mood-inspiration for this painting.
I took photos along the way so I could make a timelapse video, at first it was for no other purpose than for my own nostalgic spirit. I later realized I was to do this for another reason.
It took a long time before it even looked like her and, arguably it didn't until the end. My approach (not that I had much control over it) was to just keep refining, keep whittling away and to be patient. To build upwards and understand that the surface colour is a product of the layers beneath it and you build outwards, every layer plays a part in the prismatic result. The light reaches through each of the glazes. This is a concept that non-art major me learned from Hebborn that he discusses in The Art Forger's Handbook. The principle philosophy can be summed up:
"…copies and reproductions of Old Master paintings that confine themselves to imitating only the surface colour are missing out all the painterly and tactile values of the work. They are neglecting the scumbles, the glazes, the impasto, and all the rest of the masterly handling that goes into the making of the beautifully painted object than an oil painting should be. These qualities that are lost to modern art must be rediscovered…" (110)
Now we're transitioning into my philosophy on the creative process and I could get into the connections of writing and painting but I'll avoid that and leave you with the Hemingway line taken from a letter he wrote to Max Perkins regarding For Whom The Bell Tolls wherein he applies the poetic axiom to prose when he says that "[e]very damned word and action in this book depends upon every other word and action," just like every layer of paint.

Weld El 15 Sentenced to Two Years in Prison
Tunisian rapper Ala Yaacoubi, aka Weld El 15, was sentenced in absentia today to two years in prison (firm) by the Court of first instance of Tunis following a complaint related to his most recent single, "Boulicia Kleb" [Cops Are Dogs], which I discussed in a post on this blog yesterday. Mohammed Hedi Belgueyed, the video's director, and Sabrine Klibi, who co-starred in it, both received 6-month suspended sentences for their involvement in the video.
At this moment, Weld El 15 remains on the run and has refused to surrender to Tunisian authorities.

After decades on the decline, state labor unions are making a comeback.
Strong evidence of a resurgence came last November, when labor groups joined forces to successfully trounce anti-union ballot propositions backed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. That victory toned down Schwarzenegger's swagger and caused much rejoicing in labor halls across California.
Now another fight looms on the horizon. Only this time, it's the unions that are seizing the initiative. They're planning to take the fight to the enemy.
UNITE HERE, a labor organization representing 90,000 hospitality industry workers nationwide, kicked off a campaign last week in four critical US cities, including San Francisco and Los Angeles. The idea is to build momentum as workers head into contract renegotiations at hundreds of hotels this summer.
In Monterey County, that includes nearly 1,200 workers at 10 hotels in Carmel, Monterey and Pacific Grove. Most of these workers' existing contracts will expire July 31.
Leonard O'Neill, secretary-treasurer for UNITE HERE Local 483 in Monterey County, acknowledges that the contract renegotiations represent the first big test for their union—and for labor in general—after they and other labor unions underwent a well-publicized split from the AFL-CIO last summer.
"This is one of the projects that the new coalition, Change to Win, is adopting," O'Neill says. "Basically, they recognize that manufacturing jobs and textile mills that used to provide a decent living are gone. So we want to turn hospitality jobs—which can't be outsourced—into middle-class jobs with middle-class wages."
Last summer, SEIU—the second-largest public employees union in the nation—split from the AFL-CIO along with the Teamsters, United Food and Commercial Workers, and UNITE HERE. Led by organizers like Andrew Stern, SEIU president, the coalition's new strategies are being developed. One of them to have local unions link up with unions in other states to coordinate their labor demands and increase their negotiating leverage.
O'Neill says that as hotels in Monterey County are increasingly being run by national chains, local unions also have to start thinking nationally and globally.
"We can have a well-organized local union," O'Neill says. "But if a hotel like the [Park Hyatt owned] Highlands Inn comes to the negotiating table, they can come to Monterey with all the energy, resources and firepower of their global company. So we simply become outmatched."
In San Francisco, 10,000 workers at 14 hotels have been without a contract for more than a year—at one point they were locked out as temporary workers were brought in. A major sticking point in their contract negotiations is that the local union wants to schedule all of their contracts to end at the same time as other hospitality worker union contracts nationwide. Hotels have balked at that request.
Another strategy set forth by Change to Win is to make organizing a priority. That's something that many claim the AFL-CIO had shied away from in recent years, concentrating instead on funding political candidates.
O'Neill says the focus in Monterey County remains on the contract renegotiations—which start in May—and not yet on growing membership.
Maricela Alaniz, a union worker at the Highlands Inn for the last 16 years, says their focus heading into the renegotiations is clear-cut.
"We want them to pay us more," says Alaniz, 36, who makes $10.45 an hour. "And we want to keep our free health insurance."

Never in my life have I experienced such ecstasy as when I scooped out the creamy white flesh of a Cherimoya (pronounced chair-uh-MOY-yuh) and tasted it. I know you're thinking "is she for real?" I can't begin to describe the incredible flavor of this fruit. My first spoonful, had me wondering if this tasted like a coconut, pineapple, banana, apple, or mango - YES, all of the above and then some. TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!! It's not too acidic or too sweet but just right. Goldilocks and the Three Bears would be in 7th-heaven.
The Cherimoya is the king of fruit with flavors more luscious than you could ever imagine plus contains a host of health benefits. In fact, this ancient Incan fruit was once reserved for royalty. So scrumptious that Mark Twain called it "deliciousness itself" or in other words, "the most delicious fruit known to man."
The Cherimoya resembles an artichoke in color and shape, with a leathery skin (not to be eaten) that has a scaly pattern. Slice it open though and you will discover an ivory, firm custard-like flesh, also called "custard apple," with large black seeds that are not edible.
Choose Cherimoya that are firm and allow to ripen at room temperature. As the Cherimoya begins to ripen, the skin will begin to turn a darker green and will yield to gentle pressure, just like that of an avocado. Refrigerate softened Cherimoya and use within 2-4 days for best flavor.
I've been raving about this phenomenal piece of fruit but haven't mentioned how I discovered it!
Two weeks ago I received an email from Melissa's Produce asking me if I would like to try some of their products to test and share on my blog. I was excited about this opportunity to test my culinary skills in creating dishes for fruits I wasn't familiar with, and two high protein grains as you know, I love to cook with.
The list of unique products were:
Ojai Pixie Tangerines
Red Quinoa
You can find Melissa's Products in St. Louis at Dierbergs grocery stores or click here for a location in your state. If you can't find it at your grocery store request it from the produce manager.
Now that I've received these special culinary delights, "my mission" has been to sample and compose dishes both my family and readers will enjoy.
During the course of the next 2 weeks I plan to share my creations and discoveries using these ingredients. I hope you will try and enjoy them as much as my family has.
For my first recipe (below) I decided to pair the Cherimoya and Farro.
I've prepared Farro before, a grain that resembles barley when raw, and love it's nutty flavor and chewy consistency. Farro has been found to stimulate the immune system, lower cholesterol and help maintain blood sugar levels. While farro does contain gluten, the gluten molecules are weaker than modern wheat, making it easier to digest.
Per ½ cup raw farro:
- 1.5 g of fat
- 0 g saturated fat
- 0 mg of sodium
- 34 g of carbohydrates
- 5 g of dietary fiber
- 2 mg of iron
- 6 g of protein
- 4 mg of niacin
- 60 mg of magnesium
- 2 mg zinc
After tasting the Cherimoya I searched recipes online. All I found were sweet, dessert-type dishes, so I decided I'd concoct a savory dish.
Let it be noted, the Cherimoya need not be disguised in any other form than in the raw. It's flesh is like none other and will delight anyone that tries it. But if you're inclined to fabricate dishes like I am, I think you'll enjoy this recipe without sacrificing the flavor of the Cherimoya.
With the Cherimoya's tropical flavors I wanted to feel like I was in paradise so I designed:
2 Cherimoya, seeds discarded, flesh removed and set aside

Who is the best rookie Quarterback this season? Let us know what you think! And read on to see what the stats tell me, and we'll see if we agree.
Once again we have a season of NFL football where there have been rookie quarterbacks who have performed better than expected. Not too many years ago it was assumed that in this league a rookie couldn't be successful, but players like Matthew Stafford (though slowed by injuries), Matt Ryan, and Sam Bradford have shown they can be productive quarterbacks straight out of college. Some would say Joe Flacco and Mark Sanchez have been successful as well (though I would point more to their defenses than the quarterback play in those cases). But this year the critics were even more forceful in their preaching that a quarterback could not be successful being rushed into a system because of the lockout shortened camps and pre-season. This year, however, as in recent years, there have been a number of quarterbacks who have been given the keys to their franchises and some of them have proved the naysayers wrong and have put up quality numbers and given some of these teams reason to look to the future with high expectations.
The four players that come to mind that seem to be the look of the franchise for years to come are: Andy Dalton, Blaine Gabbert (maybe), Christian Ponder, and Cam Newton. Give me your feedback about who you think is the best of these quarterbacks (before you look at the numbers and then tell me if you feel the same after looking at the numbers), and I will do the same (before and after). I tend to gravitate toward Cam Newton out of these four players because of his big play potential, his versatility in being able to run well and also (the pleasant surprise) throw well, but the rookie mistakes may keep it close in the long run. I like Andy Dalton as a pure passer, and if Rushing Yards and Rushing TD's weren't being considered here, I would be all in for Dalton, but at this point in the article I am in anticipation as well because I haven't tabulated the numbers yet and I don't know for sure what they are going to tell me (us).
Here's what I found from (and how I came up with) the numbers…
This will be my first look at the quarterback using a simplistic system for comparing each player on a level playing field that I call Equalized Statistical Analysis (ESA). The point behind this system is to look at each player with the same number of attempts (40) per game, by taking each players statistics, breaking those stats down per game, and then equalizing the information by multiplying or dividing that players average game statistics to what they would have looked like by the same average with 40 pass attempts per game. The formula is simple, you take their attempts so far this year (in Andy Dalton's case 257) and divide that by the number of games he has played (8), which gives you a 'multiplier' (32), basically the average attempts the QB attempts each game. Next you take each total statistic and divide by the number of games again (1,696 Yards for Dalton in 8 games), divide that by the multiplier (32) and multiply by 40 (which comes to 265 yards/ game at 40 attempts per game). Finally, I score them in a rotisserie style, giving 4 points for the leader in each category on down to 1 point for the lowest ESA per category. It's something simple that anyone could do, but I never see, stats that simply compare players apple to apple, because one player's stats could balloon simply from the system he is in, a pass first offense, where another quarterback's statistics may look inferior simply because they are in a run first offensive scheme that depends on field position and defense. If we equalize the attempts and the rest of the stats accordingly, then we can get a better viewpoint of who is doing what for their team, as well as their potential. Obviously this doesn't take in all the variables and it is extremely limited as to what it shows for players with such a small body of work, and after the season is over, I plan on doing a similar article and analysis to break down the best of the best all time, purely by the numbers, and without prejudice, to see who the best QB was, all-time.
But getting back to the task at hand, here are this year's statistics, as well as their ESA for these four rookie QBs:
According to ESA, the numbers say that Andy Dalton is the best rookie Quarterback in the NFL this season. Surprised? I was (a little), but I thought it would be close between Cam and Andy (which it was), so I'm not completely surprised either. I thought that the rushing statistics and total accumulation of yards would put Newton over the top, but as I mentioned in my original thoughts about these two, the things that made Dalton just a little better were the stats that aren't so sexy, but just as important to win games, and those are the ones that show you aren't making a lot of mistakes. Here is my take on each of these young stars:
Andy Dalton: To those who think that Tim Tebow is a good quarterback because he finds a way to win games, perhaps you should look at the prototype that you are trying to fit (force) Tim Tebow into, which is the QB who is playing for the Cincinatti Bengals, Andy Dalton. But Dalton will just be hitting his prime when Tebow will be long forgotten. He has shown in his numbers and in team wins that he knows how to get it done, at 6 – 2 this young season. He has led his team to victory by limiting mistakes, with the lowest Interception rate, Sacks per game, Fumbles per game and Fumbles Lost per game, as well as having the highest completion percentage and most touchdowns for all rookie quarterbacks. That coupled with his solid statistics across the board puts him at the top of the list, and with a young A.J. Green to throw to, expect Dalton to only get better because finding a rookie wide receiver that puts up the kind of numbers that Green has already is rare. Usually receiver mature in their third year, but Dalton and Green have already established a connection that looks like it will be very dangerous to opposing defenses for years to come. Add to that a good defense and running game, and it is a recipe for winning games.
Cam Newton: Already breaking rookie records in his first game, Cam has proven may doubters wrong by putting up a lot more passing statistics and a lot less rushing statistics than most expected. I didn't think he would be this good! Unlike many of his predecessors in the mold of a 'running quarterback', he has conceded almost instantly that to be successful in this league, you need to learn how to throw in the pocket. His humility, raw talent, and intelligence will serve him well as he continues to work hard at becoming a quality NFL quarterback, and perhaps eventually a superstar. I list humility first because all too often players who were successful in college have been playing so long and heard and used so many different offensive schemes that they think they know what they are doing, they just want to do it 'my way.' Cam Newton came from an offense that resembles nothing you will find in the NFL. Even the play calling was a foreign language to what he was coming from at Auburn. His appearance to me was always, another Michael Vick or Vince Young who are in too much of a hurry to run, and don't fully embrace the responsibility of their position… to throw the ball. Cam Newton has made adjustments, changed completely, and is on pace for well over 4,500 yards in his first season. Does that sound like a rookie quarterback to you? Does that sound like a running quarterback to you? It doesn't to me. And that's why he has impressed me so much. Changing so effortlessly to be a different QB than I was familiar with, Newton is making his team relevant, competitive, and fun to watch, something Carolina fans missed all last season. My only problem I have with Cam (which probably has more to do with coaching than his playing) is that it seems since he came to town that the explosive Panthers running backs have declined considerably, but I'm sure in time they will figure out the balance they need to get all their skill position players involved in the offense.
Christian Ponder: I wasn't sure that Ponder was going to start this season with the off-season acquisition of Donovan McNabb, but without the spark the Vikings were hoping his veteran leadership would bring, Minnesota opted to go with the rookie over McNabb a few weeks ago. Statistically the improvement looks minimal, if at all, but they like his arm and feel that he can give them a better down field attack and use weapons like Percy Harvin with more efficiency and create bigger plays. It always helps to have a running back like Adrian Peterson on your team to keep the defense honest, because you always need to account for where Peterson is at on the field. Ponder seems comfortable in the pocket and will probably only get better as he learns the Vikings' playbook. I don't think he will develop into an elite quarterback, but he should be solid and above average in comparison to the rest of the league. And as long as Minnesota continues to put a solid run game and defense on the field, Ponder's largest concern will be to minimalize turnovers and manage the game.
Blaine Gabbert: The Jacksonville Jaguars let David Garrard go to start the season, paving the way for Gabbert to show what he has to offer. I think they made a mistake, and the statistics do too. Though Garrard isn't overly impressive to me either, Blaine Gabbert makes Tim Tebow's numbers look normal. Garrard's career ESA is 25/40 completions, 281 yards, 1.562 TD, 0.948 INT, and 3.142 Sacks, all together being slightly better than Ponder overall, but head and shoulders above Gabbert. Blaine could use some time on he bench learning the system, and it doesn't help that this team lacks weapons. They have MJD, but after that… not too much. In a year when the AFC South was wide open, it was not the year to experiment with a rookie quarterback that needs a lot of seasoning. With Garrard they may have been competitive (don't get me wrong, I still don't think they had a chance), but now they look like a team lost and will struggle to find more than 5 wins in a division where they play the 0 – 9 Colts twice.
Don't forget to comment on your favorite rookie QB. Let us know what you think and if you agree with the analysis. We always like seeing what our readers think!

On a Mission for Monica
By: Jessica Schaer
Updated: January 31, 2013
"We just over the years became really good friends," says Rebecca Moore, Friend.
Moore says Monica had filed a protection order against her estranged husband Rondias Webb back in September. Not only was he not suppose to have contact with her, he wasn't suppose to know where she lived.
"This was violated, and this ball was dropped in such a huge manner that I just felt like it was important at this time to start, you know, organizing something," says Moore.
So when Moore found out Rondias was charged in Monica's murder, she started "On A Mission for Monica."
"This is not an unfamiliar or unusual story. This is something that you see in the news. You see in the news statewide, nationwide," says Moore.
"Lafayette House supports 'On a Mission for Monica.' We'd like to help further the cause, be it through volunteer efforts or meeting with legislatures," says Keren Lowenstein, Lafayette House, Joplin.
"On Mission for Monica" includes a 7-point petition asking lawmakers to implement a domestic violence task force and create stricter domestic violence laws.
"We're asking that it become a felonious offense if the protection order is violated," says Moore.
Moore hopes to gather at least 5,000 signatures across Missouri and hopefully get someone's attention in the state legislature.
"Domestic violence has touched the lives of everyone. It's in every social circle, every church, every school," says Moore.
To sign the petition for Monica's Law, you have until this fall to do so. We have provided link for the petition, click here.

2 of the town webcams have failed.
We didn't want to have 2 broken images on the site as this generates on average 30+ complaints each week when the cameras are not updating.
We have had a number of complaints already about the missing or broken webcams but as they are owned and hosted by the business owners who have them in their shops we do not have any control over the cameras or when they will be replaced.
The IP cameras cost on average £200 each plus the cost of the business broadband line for them to upload their photos 24/7 and so it is an extra cost each business who chooses to host a webcam has to cover.
We will add the webcam images back to the site if the business owners replace their cameras.

My only complaint is how loud the machine is. I can't really let the machine run while we are having dinner unless I put the ice cream maker far away from the kitchen and dining room. But other than that inconvenience, I can't complain.
I would agree with the other reviewers -- use cold ingredients, and start your ice cream as soon as you take the bowl out of the freezer. I let my bowl freeze for at least two days before using it. I put it in a plastic bag, and then put a zip-loc bag of ice in the container just to be sure.
I have a hard time using all of the egg yolks and heavy cream to make true "ice cream" (although a splurge once in awhile isn't a bad thing!). I try to stick to the lower fat recipes. You can find endless recipes and ideas on the internet. I must admit that when in a hurry I just throw together some milk, half and half, real mexican vanilla, sugar, and a pinch of salt (no recipe here, just taste it to your own creaminess and sweetness level) to make ice cream for dessert. It's like having fresh soft serve. Yum!
If you would like your own ice cream maker, you can't go wrong with this machine!
This machine would make a great gift as well!
