The Living Food Bank® uses a science-based aquaponic system, solar energy and a tropical greenhouse to grow high quality fish and vegetable crops.
Montello, WI (Vocus/PRWEB) March 22, 2011
As the country of Haiti struggles in so many ways, there is good news as well. The launch of the first Living Food Bank® aquaponic system will bring fresh fish and vegetables to many. The construction of this system is nearing completion on the Northwest Haiti Christian Mission(NWHCM) campus in Saint Louis Du Nord, Haiti and the training for the individuals who will oversee the operation of the system has begun in Montello, Wisconsin.
Nelson and Pade, Inc., a Wisconsin-based company specializing in aquaponics and the creator of the Living Food Bank®, in collaboration with NWHCM, has begun training three enthusiastic people who will be travelling to Haiti to manage the new aquaponic system at NWHCM. The Living Food Bank® uses a science-based aquaponic system, solar energy and a tropical greenhouse to grow high quality fish and vegetable crops. Aquaponics is an integrated method of raising fish and vegetables in a soilless system. In Haiti, tilapia, a fast-growing fresh water fish, along with leafy greens such as Swiss chard, collards and kale, and peas, beans, eggplant, tomatoes and peppers will all be grown.
Ed and Lora Ginter, from Kentucky, and Chris Clarke, from Montana, all arrived at Nelson and Pade, Inc.'s facility in Montello on March 8 to kick off their 2 month Extended Stay Learning Program. Nelson and Pade, Inc.'s new demonstration greenhouse has various aquaponic systems in operation which are very close in design to the systems in Haiti so, even though the training is taking place far from Haiti, the information and application will be parallel to the system at NWHCM.
It has been a fun and fascinating first 2 weeks for Ed, Lora and Chris, learning the daily operation of the systems, water quality testing and monitoring, fish feeding and feed calculations, filter maintenance, seeding, transplanting, harvesting and system assembly.
Nelson and Pade, Inc.'s John Pade and Education Director, Sarah Kaatz, have been providing direction and education to Ed, Lora and Chris. During the next 6 weeks, advanced principles will be covered, including fish biology, fish stocking, plant culturing and health, pest scouting and control, bio-security, nutrient dynamics, system and greenhouse maintenance and more. Plus, the team will assemble, test, crate and ship the complete solar energy system to Haiti.
Upon the completion of their training, Ed, Lora and Chris will travel to Haiti - Ed and Lora as long term missionaries working to oversee this and other aquaponics projects, and Chris to assist with the start up and operation of this system. Rebecca Nelson and John Pade will also travel back to Haiti, to help with the start up of the system. As NWHCM expands their aquaponics projects and installs additional Living Food Bank® aquaponic systems, they will have a serious impact on the availability of fresh food in Northwest Haiti and beyond.
This project is headed toward success due to the combination of using a science-based aquaponic system design and a comprehensive training program from Nelson and Pade, Inc., along with the well-established and very capable Northwest Haiti Christian Mission, a holistic ministry that currently feeds 15,000 people per day, provides medical and surgical services, nutrition programs and many other services to residents of northwest Haiti.

Four years ago, Erin Hamlin won the first singles luge medal in U.S. history, claiming the bronze with a thrilling run. She's back again in PyeongChang -- she was even the flag bearer at the Opening Ceremony -- leading a U.S. contingent hunting for more hardware.
Germany has dominated the luge at the Olympics, winning 31 medals since the sport was introduced in 1964. Germans won six medals in Sochi, with Felix Loch leading the way. He's the two-time defending champion in singles luge, and will be gunning for his third straight in PyeongChang.
Competition kicks off on Feb. 10 with the men's singles race, where Americans Tucker West, Taylor Morris, and Chris Mazdzer will attempt to bring home a medal. On the women's side, Summer Britcher and Emily Sweeney join Hamlin. The two doubles teams are Matt Mortensen and Jayson Terdiman and Justin Krewson and Andrew Sherk.

component records has scored two big names for its first vinyl release (outfitted with very appropriate abstract robotic design). both gridlock and panacea are among the most well-known musicians working in the darker, more industrial spectre of genres that could be loosely described as crossing the boundaries between idm, breakcore and techstep.
as of late, gridlock is steadily gaining more and more recognition through compilation appearances and split releases that further widen its established style (connected series on klangkrieg, 12" on zod, absolutely brilliant remix for displacer's full length, appearance on latest component records compilation). at the same, as I am waiting for the new album, I cannot shake off the feeling that the band is somewhat lost in its search for the "new" sound - along with the outstanding tracks that rival emotional complexity of funckarma and intensity of post-industrial technoid acts, gridlock releases material that does not live up the standards established by the duo itself.
this is exactly the case with "bring out your dead" track on this split - it is incredibly addictive, high-quality example of breakcore/drum&bass mix that features the "standard" collection of obligatory sci-fi samples, dark atmospheric strings and thumping bassline (even the title itself confirms my idea of "mimicking"). were this released back in the days along with dryft's debut cd, it would have been an instant hit, however at this point in time it is nothing more than an excellent example of the genre and nothing else. however, I am inclined to say that this is more a limitation of the style itself rather than musicians' shortcoming.
for past few years I have dismissed any panacea output for being nothing more than a slick money-making instrument, pumping out faceless overproduced material. I figured that as long as panacea provides the means for the existence of projects like rich kid (watch out for the upcoming release on ad noiseam) and squaremeter, there is nothing wrong with it. it is silly to whine about the "good old days" of low profile darkness - it was a seminal album that belonged to its time. having said that, "when panacea strikes" seems to be almost a gimmick (admittedly, very well done), catering to those clinging to the past.
perhaps one can view this record as a tribute to the "old days," when dark and dirty drum&bass started its triumphant ascend, later on giving birth to breakcore genre. nowadays any material that tries to conform to these stylistic restrictions is bound to sound dated at best. on the other hand, this is an excellent move on the part of component records, undeniably helping to promote and establish the label even further.

We're getting lots of cauliflower this week, so I'm bumping the post:
|CAULIFLOWER; scroll down for specific Romanesco info—but Romanesco can be used in any cauliflower recipe.
I've seen several recipes that use cauliflower as "mock mashed potatoes"—cooking it until it loses its crunch and texture and then mashing it. I find it offensive to both the cauliflower and the potato—cauliflower has its own advantages, but it's not a potato.
It's not easy to face down a cauliflower. It usually doesn't break apart as easily as a head of broccoli and needs a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces, The core and leaves have to be cut away and composted, though the stems are just as good as the flowers.
Cauliflower can be boiled or steamed to soften it—but my choice is raw, cooked lightly, or roasted.
Raw, it does well in a marinade, as below, or as a crudite with any dip or dunk. If you're not a fan of very crunchy vegetables, cook it briefly before marinating, as in the salad below. There are also instructions for roasting below. Cauliflower is also great in a gratin, often mixed with broccoli. See general gratin instructions in Recipes from America's Small Farms, p. 25. And there's a more complicated Cauliflower Cheese Pie on p. 74.
This recipe appeared in the NYT (David Tanis) late last fall and it became one of my favorites instantly. It uses only one pan (plus whatever you cook the chickpeas in) and is a full meal, especially if you add rice and raita. I have not included the raita recipe because it was not especially great and took a lot of work—raita is easy, just add diced vegetables (radish is perfect, cucumber is good too) to yogurt. They suggest apple, which was just ok. Add curry powder, cayenne, diced hot pepper, or hot sauce. Mix the whole thing up, allow to sit in the refrigerator and bit and serve cold.
The first time I made this recipe, I followed it exactly, using the spice seeds and individual ground spices. I found the spice was too weak overall; now I just use pre-mixed curry powder. I start with a tablespoon and keep adding until it tastes right. I also add chopped greens to the stew, at the same time as the chickpeas—and sometimes string beans as well..
3 tablespoons untoasted sesame oil or vegetable oil
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon coriander seeds
½ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 2-inch piece of ginger, grated
6 small garlic cloves, minced
4 small hot red Asian chiles or Mexican chiles de árbol
1 large onion, diced, about 2 cups
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups delicata squash, unpeeled, in 1-inch slices, or butternut squash, peeled, in 1-inch cubes
1 cup parsnips, hard center core removed, in 1-inch slices or chunks
½ pound tiny potatoes, such as fingerlings, halved
2 cups small florets of cauliflower
1 cup cooked chickpeas, preferably home-cooked and the liquid reserved
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Steamed basmati rice (optional)
Apple raita (optional),
1. Put oil in a wide, heavy pot over medium-high heat. When oil is wavy, add cumin seeds and coriander seeds and let sizzle for about 1 minute. Add turmeric, cayenne, ginger, garlic and chiles and stir to coat.
2. Add onion and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened and lightly colored, about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Add squash, parsnips and potatoes, salt lightly, then add 3 cups chickpea cooking liquid or water, or enough to just cover vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a brisk simmer. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender but firm, about 15 minutes.
3. Add cauliflower and chickpeas and stir gently to combine. Cover and continue cooking 5 to 8 minutes more, until cauliflower is tender. Taste broth and adjust seasoning, then transfer to a wide, deep serving platter or bowl. Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve with steamed basmati rice and apple raita, if desired.

5. Serve over grain of choice or greens and drizzle with peanut sauce. Garnish with green onion or chives if using.
What the Heck Is Romanesco and How Do You Cook It?
Lindsay Lowe, Parade.com
One of the more unusual vegetables we've come across, Romanesco appears to be part psychedelic broccoli, part alien life form.
In fact, it's an edible flower from the family that includes broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. It tastes very similar to cauliflower, but with a slightly nuttier, earthier flavor. You can use it as you would cauliflower in recipes, and it holds up to many different cooking methods.
"Romanesco can be served raw, lightly cooked, or cooked through," said Mario Batali in a column for the Seattle Times last fall. "I usually sauté it slowly with garlic and lemon zest, and punctuate with red pepper flakes for zing."
It's also delicious steamed and lightly seasoned with olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Of course, the most fascinating part of Romanesco is its appearance. Its spiraled buds form a natural approximation of a fractal, meaning each bud in the spiral is composed of a series of smaller buds. (Remember the Fibonacci sequence from school? The spirals follow the same logarithmic pattern).
The Romanesco (sometimes called Romanesco Broccoli or Roman Cauliflower) did not always exist in nature. Many botanists believe it was the result of selective breeding by Italian farmers in the 16th century.
Romanesco is in season during from late summer to early fall, and it can often be found at local farmers' markets, especially along the Eastern Seaboard. Just as when shopping for regular broccoli or cauliflower, look for firm, heavy heads free from discoloration or withered florets. To store in the fridge, keep in a tightly sealed bag.
1 head Romanesco, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more to taste
salt to taste
2 grinds fresh black pepper
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch paprika
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Spread Romanesco onto the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Roast in the preheated oven until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
Makes 2 servings as a main course or 4 to 6 as a side course
Romanesco is an Italian heirloom cauliflower with bright green,
fractal-like florets. It was previously found only at niche markets, but
thankfully, more farmers are growing Romanesco across the country.
If you cannot find Romanesco, any kind of cauliflower will do. When
steamed or boiled, Romanesco is silky tender and goes well with
crispy or salty embellishments and the richness of the eggs. If I had
them in the pantry, chopped anchovies would be excellent with these
flavors, as would a side of white beans fragrant with olive oil. Equally
delicious warm or cold, this can be a quick supper or lunch made a
day ahead.
–Walnuts can replace the pine nuts, and olive oil can substitute for the walnut
oil, which is sometimes difficult to find.
–To make fresh breadcrumbs, it's preferable to use a loaf of bread that is at
least a day old. Slice off the crusts and cut the bread in to large pieces. Using
a food processor or blender, break the bread into large crumbs, taking care
to not overcrowd the processor, which could cause the bread to clump instead
of breaking down. Put the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and toast in the oven
at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes until light golden brown.
1 large Romanesco, cut into approx.. 5 irregular pieces
3 large 10-minute eggs, peeled, halved, or quartered
¾ cup/30g coarse breadcrumbs, toasted
¼ cup/30g pine nuts,lightly toasted
1 cup/35g salt-packed capers, rinsed, chopped
2 Tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 Tbsp walnut oil, plus more for garnish
1 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for garnish
1 Tbsp sherry vinegar,plus more for garnish
Sea salt
Ground black pepper
In a large pot fitted with a steamer basket and enough water to steam, add the Romanesco and steam until just tender, 4-6 minutes.
Arrange the cooked Romanesco and eggs on a serving platter.
Combine the breadcrumbs, pine nuts, capers, parsley, thyme, walnut oil, olive oil, and vinegar in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Scatter over the Romanesco and eggs. Drizzle a little more walnut oil, olive oil, and/or vinegar over the top and serve.

Periodontal disease is diagnosed by your dentist or dental hygienist during a periodontal examination. This type of exam should always be part of your regular dental check-up.
A periodontal probe (small dental instrument) is gently used to measure the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and the gums. The depth of a healthy sulcus measures three millimeters or less and does not bleed. The periodontal probe helps indicate if pockets are deeper than three millimeters. As periodontal disease progresses, the pockets usually get deeper.
Your dentist or hygienist will use pocket depths, amount of bleeding, inflammation, tooth mobility, etc., to make a diagnosis that will fall into a category below:
Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease. Plaque and its toxin by-products irritate the gums, making them tender, inflamed, and likely to bleed.
Plaque hardens into calculus (tartar). As calculus and plaque continue to build up, the gums begin to recede from the teeth. Deeper pockets form between the gums and teeth and become filled with bacteria and pus. The gums become very irritated, inflamed, and bleed easily. Slight to moderate bone loss may be present.
Advanced Periodontitis
The teeth lose more support as the gums, bone, and periodontal ligament continue to be destroyed. Unless treated, the affected teeth will become very loose and may be lost. Generalized moderate to severe bone loss may be present.
I hadn't been to the dentist for 17 years because I was absolutely terrified of the idea of a dentist, the smell, needles and what a terrible state my mouth might be in. It was ridiculous really, because in every other area of life I'm confident, but the very thought of going to the dentist had me hiding behind the sofa and getting the sweats. Alan was recommended to me by a friend who had been nearly as frightened as me and I was 'hand-held' there by my partner for the first few visits. Now I go on my own, and while the dentist will never be something I look forward to, at least I am on track now and am over my 'dentalphobia'.
And by the way the hygienist is just great.
JM - Battersea
I was always dead scared of going to the dentist, but Dr. Bookey has taken such good care of me, and is so nice about everything, that I actually enjoy going to the dentist now. I love the virtual reality glasses he lets me wear while he does whatever needs doing to my teeth.

FRESNO, Calif. --A California biochemist has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering her estranged husband. She was convicted of knocking him out and stuffing him into a vat of acid, possibly while he was still alive.
Larissa Schuster was convicted in December in the July 2003 murder of Timothy Schuster, with the special circumstance that it was committed for financial gain. The two were in the middle of a divorce following 20 years of marriage.
Just days after he vanished, Schuster's half-dissolved remains were discovered inside a 55-gallon barrel hidden in a storage unit his wife had rented. The body was intact only from the belt buckle down.
The couple's adult daughter told the sentencing hearing in Fresno that she feels safer knowing her mother will be in prison without the chance for parole. Kristin Schuster described her 47-year-old mother as "a dominating power freak" who became a "demon."

The Story Behind Manitoba Names
How Cities, Towns, Villages and Whistle Stops Got Their NamesBook - 2006
Get to know Manitoba with the stories of over 500 names, ranging from the humorous to the historic.
Communities included are particularly rich with an array of whimsical, descriptive, historical and aboriginal names. Perhaps because of our frontier heritage, towns and cities in North America come named after all manner of unlikely people, places and things, and they come in dozens of languages, all of which add interest and color to the stories behind the names.
Manitoba's names stand with the best. From a town named after a baking powder can to the village of Dropmore, whose town fathers couldn't decide on a name until they'd had "a drop more" from a shared bottle; towns in Manitoba have been named after everything from bacon to ducks. One village was named after a local species of tree by local residents who only discovered later that they had been mistaken about just what kind of tree they had growing in the town. Other Manitoba communities have been named after early residents, prominent people, local incidents, former homes in other places and Indian legends.
No matter if you're from Manitoba or someplace far away the stories behind the names on Manitoba's map make for stories that seem hilariously unbelievable, but that really are true. They also help illuminate the history and culture of Western Canada.

Historic Newstead House is Brisbane's best-known heritage site open for public inspection, offering a number of unique experiences befitting Brisbane's oldest domestic dwelling. The building, dating from 1846, has evolved from a simple Colonial Georgian cottage into the quintessential homestead of today - a style of architecture that draws as its inspiration the bungalow found on the Indian sub-continent.
Newstead Park, on Brisbane River, conceals many stories-including its part in WWI. A memorial trophy cannon unveiled near the rotunda in 1922 caused controversy: an alderman suggested it was an 'emblem of evil' and that the money would be better spent supporting returned servicemen. The cannon was removed in the 1950s, donated to the 9th Battalion-and made way for the Australian American Memorial, one of only two such memorials in Australia, attesting to Brisbane's importance in the Allied victory in the South-West Pacific.
In terms of longevity and quality, Philip Bacon Galleries is not only downtown's most prestigious private gallery, but regarded nationally and internationally as among Australia's best. Philip Bacon Galleries is located in Fortitude Valley, approximately 1km from the city centre. There is ample public transport to Fortitude Valley by bus or train, and also car parks nearby for those travelling by car.
The General Sir Arthur MacDonald, KBE, CB, Annex of The Queensland Military Memorial Museum presents displays of education interest in Queensland's military heritage with uniforms from 1857, medals from the New Zealand (Maori) Wars to present days, photographs from pre-Federation Queensland, weapons from an 1800 'brown Bess' musket to modern firearms and swords including Queensland Defence Force bandsman's items, trench and convalescence art, and other memorabilia of pre- Federation Queensland Defence Force personalities. Queensland raised and later disbanded units of different eras, and of Queensland service personnel of Australia's involvement in peace and war.
Several historical flags are displayed such as the Great War regimental flag of the 26th Australian Infantry Battalion, made by girls at All Hallows' School and the regimental flag of the 2/26th Battalion of the Eight Division, carried after the Fall of Singapore, hidden from the Japanese through Changi and the Burma-Thai Railway. Over 2,000 items displayed.
Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts is an intimate arts venue dedicated to creating innovative experiences that connect with adventurous people.

The Sacramento City Council on Tuesday gave final approval to a $961.1 million budget for the coming fiscal year that includes additional funds for wastewater infrastructure, homeless services and the city's economic uncertainty reserve.
The budget passed on a unanimous vote, with council members and the mayor lauding a new budget process that involved greater transparency and public input.
"This is a good budget, and it was an excellent process," Councilman Rick Jennings said before the vote.
The final plan added an additional $14 million in spending from the original proposal. That includes a $4.2 million deposit into the city's rainy-day fund. Other spending additions will fund 15 new police officers and $1 million to increase diversity efforts for the Police Department, as well as $4.5 million for two fire stations, one in the River District and the other in South Natomas.
The revision also brought $1.5 million for increased homeless services that will allow the Volunteers of America shelter and the Salvation Army Shelter to both remain open around the clock, and fund an additional 20 beds for homeless women.
Infrastructure needs also earned more funds, with the water meter installation program receiving an additional $5 million for a total of $8 million and an additional $5.2 million for sewer improvements for a total of $9.2 million.
Some of the revenue and expenditure changes were prompted by utility rate increases passed by the council in March. Those changes added revenue of nearly $12 million to city coffers.
Council members largely voiced support for the budget, with Councilman Larry Carr saying it signaled a "change for our city" and Councilwoman Angelique Ashby adding that, "we do seem to be focused on the communities that we all agree have been left behind."
One of the few points of contention came when Ashby questioned a one-year transfer of one-third of revenue from the city's digital billboards to specific council districts for capital investments. That will send $120,000 to District 2 in Del Paso Heights, $60,000 to District 8 in Meadowview and $60,000 to District 4 in the central city.
Ashby said she would not support sending those funds to District 4 in coming years, arguing that the area did not have the same needs as the other two areas. District 4 Councilman Steve Hansen disputed that.

But is this more or less fiscally responsible than paying one of the lower options this year and more in later years? By paying more now, Arnold puts CalPERS more on the hook for their own promise of 7.75% per long-term-average year. I wager that CalPERS' calculations of the higher payments that the state would have to make later, if it contributed a lower amount next year, are based on that 7.75% assumption. Perhaps Arnold doesn't think the state's tax economy will grow 7.75% per year in the future. I would not predict it either. (Of course, taxes are not a fixed proportion of the economy.)
On the other hand, neither Arnold nor CalPERS have offered any answers to the questions above. How will CalPERS identify and invest in enterprises whose returns will fund retirees' pensions and whose workers will produce directly the most sustainable good and services? Will these enterprises offer 7.75% ROI? I would not predict that either.
But we don't need 7.75%, especially if we are investing in direct production such as properly civilizing and empowering our children. Or investing in ecovillage smart growth.
More immediate relief could come in the form of state retirees stepping up to the plate and en masse agreeing to progressive reductions in benefits, where the smallest pensions were maintained while the largest bore the brunt of an evidence-based sliding scale. Or CalPERS could invest in the state educational system.

A while back I posted my coconut popcorn, which has become a staple in the house and it is husband approved. Friend approved. And me approved.
Approved all around.
This is coconut popcorn all jazzed up.
Most of the time, when I am making a batch of popcorn, I just make a little extra so I can make this trail mix for the week.
Also, popcorn salt. Not necessary, but so necessary.
Any way, this is a perfect sweet and salty snack when you get those stupid 3:00PM sluggies.
(Sluggie = acting effectively like a slug because you are so out of energy).
Coconut Popcorn Trail Mix
This slightly addicting sweet and salty healthy snack will help get you through the day.
- 2 tablespoons popcorn kernals
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup dried, unsweetened coconut chips, toasted
- 1/4 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup roasted, salted cashews
- 2 tablespoons roasted, salted sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1. Start by toasting your coconut. Add the coconut to a skillet on medium heat. Toast coconut until golden brown and stir to cook evenly. Watch closely as this can burn quickly.
2. Next, make your popcorn. I use an air popper, but you can use the stove top method as well. Once it is popped and hot, add the melted coconut oil and coat thoroughly. Use your hands if needed and salt generously to taste.
3. Let the popcorn cool for 5-10 minutes then add the apricots, cashews, sunflower seeds, and chocolate.
4. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 10 mins Total time: 15 mins Yield: 4 servings
If you don't like apricots, go ahead and switch them out with whatever dried fruit you desire. Same with the seeds. Make it own and enjoy!

A monthly blog by Rev. Dr George J. Koch, Holy Trinity's Intentional Interim Pastor during our time of transition.

In his weekly blog, Pastor Koch will discuss his thoughts on the Church Year and upcoming events at Holy Trinity.
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. (1 Thessalonians 4.1)
Life is a Gift.
Shortly before I arrived here, I was asked to preach for the funeral of an eight-year-old girl. One moment she had been alive and chasing a soccer ball in a match, and the next minute she was comatose on the ground. A couple of days later she was dead from a rare form of brain cancer. The family, rightly so, was devastated. They asked me to preach as I knew them well. At the funeral, 50+ classmates were packed into the congregation and about 400 people packed the building. I gave two sermons that day: one just for the seven to ten year olds who were struggling with the death of their friend, the other for adult family and neighbors.
At the funeral, I shared the story about John Claypool, a noted pastor, whose daughter had died at a similar age. At first Claypool's only consolation was that God had a lot to account for. But later, Claypool began to see all life as a gift; something that he did not notice before. He began to realize that he had had so many gifts of friendship and love from others that he didn't deserve. He began to see his daughter's sweetness was like her mom's and dogged spirit was much his own. She was a joy and a delight to know. And even though he had only known his daughter for 8 years, she was a gift that would always be with him, even after her death.
Life is a gift. We are given loved ones to know and love on our pilgrimage on earth. I was privileged to know Judy for almost 50 years and to be married to her for almost 42 of them. Many relationships never make it that far; many people have never felt the closeness I felt.
So, I continue to mourn. I have lost my best friend, my companion, my love. But I see her as a gift, someone I didn't deserve, but someone who received me in love. I do not grieve as one who has no hope. Rather, I celebrated the gift she was to me, and trust the Author and Giver of life, that she – and I – will not be abandoned in death.
George Koch
Senior Intentional Interim Pastor.

A sample of gruyere with a side of feces.
You know what grosses me out at the grocery store? Those unmanned free sample displays. You know, the ones that are usually under a little plastic bubble lid…like that matters. Sometimes there is a hole in the lid that allows you to stick your hand in there and other times you have to lift the lid and grab the food with either your fingers or a toothpick.
They are often placed on the deli counter without any cover what so ever, just begging for people to sneeze and cough all over them.
There are three main reasons why free food samples are gross:
1. The clean toothpicks are often next to the dirty toothpick box. I have SEEN people grab a dirty toothpick, hopefully by mistake, and use it to spear a small square of ham. I have also seen people discard a dirty toothpick in the clean toothpick box. Ew. Can we say "mononucleosis?"
Watch where you put that toothpick buddy. I have a strong feeling you have a cold sore hiding in that mouth of yours.
2. People do not always wash their hands after they use the bathroom. When they do, they don't always use the correct method. Ask yourself this, "do I always use a paper towel to turn the sink off?" If the answer is "no" then you are doing it wrong. If you answered "yes" then ask yourself this follow up question, "do I get the paper towel out of the dispenser before I start the hand washing process?" If you don't, and if the dispenser is not an automatic/hands free device, then you are still doing it wrong. See, after you wash your hands you are canceling it out if you touch either of those items. YOU ARE! And don't try and fight back with "what about the air dryer?" crap because those do more harm than good. Seriously, they increase the level of bacteria on your hands. I avoid those bad boys like the plague. Oh, and don't forget about opening the door with a paper towel. Otherwise, you are probably picking up urine and fecal matter because the bozo before you did not wash their hands. Anyway, my point is that these people use the potty, don't wash properly and then they sift through the tortilla chips that are on display. G-R-O-S-S! (P.S., how many times have you tried to wash your hands in a public bathroom only to discover that the hot water is not working? Plenty of times, I'm sure. That is why you should carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you).
3. How long has that dip been on display? Did somebody forget to change it out? Is it spoiled now? Am I going to get food poisoning? Not me. Not now, not never because I won't touch that crap.
Having said all of that, I have been known to take a free sample at Costco if there is a person there monitoring the process. Said person MUST be wearing gloves and a hairnet, like this lady:
And yes, wine samples are always accepted. Always.

A man has been shot by police after he allegedly fired a crossbow at officers.
Armed officers from Police Scotland shot the man following a seven-hour stand-off after he barricaded himself inside a house.
He was eventually removed from a house in Bankfaulds Avenue, Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, at around 12.15pm on Saturday.
His injuries are not considered serious or life threatening, police said.
Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham said: "A 24-year-old man has been shot by police following the alleged discharge of a crossbow at officers.
"The man had earlier - around 5.30am - barricaded himself within a property in Bankfaulds Ave, Kilbirnie, Ayrshire.
"He has been taken by ambulance to Crosshouse Hospital, Kilmarnock, for treatment.
"At this time it is not considered that his injuries are serious nor life threatening.
"No other people were injured in the incident which concluded at 12.20pm."
The police are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.
"As is procedure, the matter will be referred to PIRC - Police Investigations and Review Commissioner," the spokesperson added.
A spokeswoman for PIRC confirmed the incident is being investigated.
She said: "The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner has been directed by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) to investigate the discharge of a conventional firearm during an incident at a residential address in Kilbirnie earlier today, Saturday 12 March 2016.
"It is reported that during the incident, a 24-year-old man was shot by police at around 12.15pm, following the alleged discharge of a crossbow at officers.
"A report on the Commissioner's findings will be submitted to the COPFS in due course."

Tracy Arm Fjord Alaska offers stunningly beautiful scenery to see on vacation.
There is glacier calving (huge chunks of ice breaking off and plunging into the freezing waters below).
When the calving begins there is a huge rumbling sound of power and it is awesome to watch.
Shore excursions into the Fjord are offered in Juneau if your cruise line doesn't offer them here.
Smaller ships that move in closer to the shore offer a much more breathtaking view than the larger cruise ships.
There are float plane trips which are exciting and dramatic to see the Fjord.
Imagine flying about a glacier as it shears off and plunges into the freezing waters below. Or, how about seeing the beautiful waterfalls up close as the water rushes down from the mountain above?

Maryland Confirms First Case of Zika Virus
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is announcing its first confirmed case of a Marylander being infected with the Zika virus. The mosquito-borne virus has caused the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to issue travel warnings for pregnant women.
The patient had traveled to a country where Zika transmission has been active and ongoing. A blood test confirmed that the patient had Zika.
"Our department will continue to actively partner with the CDC, Maryland healthcare providers, laboratories, and health departments to provide support to Marylanders at risk of Zika infection – especially to pregnant women," said Secretary Van Mitchell. "As CDC guidance has evolved, we actually have expanded access to testing for people who had not met that agency's initial testing criteria."
According to a news release, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is monitoring the latest developments related to the virus, and is in frequent communication with the CDC. The department regularly communicates with and distributes guidance to Maryland hospitals, healthcare providers and the public. The Department is maintaining situational awareness and facilitating testing of individuals who have traveled to areas with ongoing Zika transmission – with an emphasis on pregnant women.
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene encourages Marylanders who have questions about how their travel histories might affect their risk to consult their physicians.
Marylanders and other travelers returning from regions with ongoing Zika transmission, such as the Caribbean and Central and South America, may have been exposed to the virus. As such, the arrival of travelers makes it likely that Maryland will see confirmed cases of infection. According to the CDC, the virus chiefly is transmitted by mosquito, though there also have been reports of transmission through blood transfusion and sexual contact.
Symptoms of Zika may include fever, rash, conjunctivitis and joint pain. But the CDC has emphasized that not all people who become infected with the virus display symptoms, even throughout the course of infection that can last several days to a week. The CDC says, in fact, about only one in five people will display symptoms.
The Health and Mental Hygiene public health laboratory expects to be able to test for Zika within the next week. Meanwhile, the state is sending samples directly to the CDC labs for analysis.
There is no vaccine to prevent or medicine to treat Zika. Persons who are concerned that they may have been exposed to Zika virus or who have symptoms of Zika virus infection should talk to their healthcare provider because symptoms of illness can be caused by a number of different ailments.
The CDC continues to investigate the link between Zika cases in pregnant women and infants born with microcephaly, a birth defect where a baby's head is smaller than expected when compared with those of babies of the same sex and age. Babies with microcephaly often have smaller brains that may not have developed properly.
Health and Mental Hygiene is working with the Maryland Department of Agriculture to prepare for upcoming warmer temperatures when mosquito activity will increase and where that activity could affect residents' health. As a rule, during warmer months, residents should work to eliminate standing water around their homes that could facilitate breeding grounds for the insects.
For more information on Zika, visit the state's website at http://goo.gl/6Jz7W5 or the CDC's site at http://www.cdc.gov/zika/index.html.

Yesterday I made the official decision to change our clocks to Sputnik Standard Time. It gets dark way too early, and our batteries can only provide so much light and furnace-power before bed time, so I set our clocks forward two hours and adjusted meal times and bed time accordingly. If we were to follow Pacific Standard Time, we would be eating dinner at 3:30 and going to bed at six, which would officially make us old people. In an attempt to regain our youth, Sputnik Standard Time is instated, and our internal clocks agree completely.
Morning dawns pale and cold. We huddle under the blankets and watch the sun creep slowly down the hill toward our trailer. We are mostly in shade here until late afternoon, so our battery is low enough that we can't turn the furnace on yet. There is nothing to do but wait.
Finally, there is enough heat to venture out of doors, and Hubs sits in the sunshine and reads while I try my hand at watercolor painting. My first attempt is a masterpiece of what not to do when using watercolors. It consists of a large, dark tree trunk in the center of my picture. Because, you know, the tree trunk is the support for the leaves and branches, so I had better paint it first or my leaves will all fall down. Sadly, no amount of layering with leaves makes it any less prominent, so I scrap that attempt and start over, afraid to use any bold colors at all. My new painting looks like a lot of green ghost trees hovering on a blue ghost background.
|Murray recharges his batteries in the sun too.
Maybe I should do some research before attempting a third.
I bet you thought once we left Oregon, you wouldn't have to hear about mushrooms any more, but Hubs spots a few clumps that are interesting.
These look like the perfect woodland mushroom. It is hard to judge scale from a photo, so I put my shoe next to them.
When they age, the bells recede, get slimy, and drip.
When making dinner tonight, I pull a jar of BBQ sauce out of the fridge and open it.
The lid explodes from the jar, splattering sauce all over me and the inside of the Airstream.
The last time I opened this jar, we were at sea level: now we are at 5,000 feet.
The air pressure has been building inside that bottle with each inclined foot we drove, culminating in BBQ sauce in my hair.
While mopping up I make a mental note to beware the ketchup tomorrow morning, and notice that the air-tight packets of seaweed snacks look as though they have explosive potential too.
Thank you for shopping through my Amazon links! It costs you nothing extra and is a great help to us! Thanks!

Most of us hate flying, but that's probably because we've never had the chance to travel in our own luxurious private jet. These wealthy people have plenty of reasons to travel the world, so they spent millions of dollars purchasing huge jets and outfitting them in the most luxurious ways imaginable. Here are the most expensive private jets in the world today! Try not to be jealous – they make flying even business class look like a terrible experience.
Gulfstream G650 owned by Peter Jackson – Price: $65 million
Sir Peter Jackson is an internationally-acclaimed film director, screenwriter, and film producer. Jackson has worked on a number of films early in his career, but struck gold when he began his work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This series was such a hit that he quickly moved on to The Hobbit trilogy. It's a bit of an understatement to say these two films were a success. Since the initial release of The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001, these two trilogies combined have grossed [brace yourself] $19 billion in international revenue. Since Jackson was director, writer, and producer of both, he walked away with a substantial piece of that pie. So why wouldn't you buy a G650?
Jackson's $60 million model can comfortably carry eight passengers and a crew of four. While the G650 is proud of its luxurious amenities, this jet is no slouch when it comes to performance. The G650 can fly faster and further than any aircraft used by the Royal New Zealand Air Force with a top speed of 705 mph and range of 8,000 miles. Jackson keeps this jet with several others near his home in Wellington. When it's time to suit up for the red carpet or start work on a new film, that flight to LA doesn't look nearly as daunting as it would for the average kiwi!

My name is Sjoerd Overdiep and I'm a full time Internet entrepreneur making a living from this new and dynamic world of cloud hosting like AWS Amazon. I'm also active on many communities such as Magento ® Connect… but more of that shortly.
Back in 1999 I stumbled upon an article about 'online stores'. I didn't know it at the time but that moment changed my life. I know that statements like that belong on those cheesy 'buy my $1000 training program' sites (don't worry I'm not selling anything more than a book) but it is actually true. Within 24 hours of reading the article I had started my own online store – a small online store for pet products and I have been hooked on online stores and the internet ever since. I've learned so much from the experience of that online store that I've since started many other online stores and blogs. So in the 10 years that followed I have done more than my share of internet related jobs and became more and more a Internet entrepreneur. 2009
Pagayo was founded in 2009 with one BIG goal: to make a better hosting company. Built on open source applications, we've since grown to become one of the world's largest providers of cloud-based online solutions. Operating form the east of Holland we are servicing people around the world. Thanks to the AWS Cloud we can service people where they live. Or we can host where they want to do business.

This was a busy week for the group. We explored what type of map we wanted to use for the project and how we would get it. The group considered more carefully the connection between 19th century language and locating place and time at the Battle of Gettysburg. We crafted a letter to the moderators and archivist of the database we are using to make it easier for us to navigate and organize the search results. Myrna, as the outreach coordinator has reached out to the Brooklyn Historical Society, Professor Ari Kelman of Battle Lines, and an expert with ArcGIS. She also looked into getting in touch with historians at Fort Wardsworth. Anastasiya began to seek out larger connections to other DH projects dealing with sound and listening. Other tasks included to continue to work on and complete the sound corpus for use in scraping the database and smoothing out larger outreach efforts, including building a website, clearing up issues with twitter and Github.

Hi again Civil War Group,
So my wife works at Fort Wadsworth, so I asked her who you should contact about this (because it's notoriously difficult to navigate since there's no visitor's center). She asked around and found out who would be most qualified/interested to help with this. Please let me know if you would like to be put in contact and who would be the lead for this (Myrna?).
Myrna Lillian Fuentesreplied:View March 28, 2016
Hi Michelle, I contacted Dan Meharg who is a Park Ranger and who was recommended to me by someone from the Brooklyn Historical Society. I just posted the information he provided us via email. Let's see what David and Anastasiya say during class tomorrow. I will follow up with you. Thank you again for all your help and also to your wife.

This is not a book review, but my reflections from a recently read book, Elephant Girl. An intense and disturbing memoir of Jane Devin, it highlights how abuse – verbal, physical and sexual – suffered as a child has consequences that last a lifetime.
Let me share some parts of the introduction to Elephant Girl with you. Apparently, in Thailand, the practice of breaking an elephant's spirit is called phajaan, also known as "The Breaking Ceremony". Young elephants a, preferably female, are separated from their herd and corralled in a tight enclosure where movement is restricted. She is deprived of food and water for several days and beaten with ropes and hooks and forced to take men on her back. The idea is to force the elephant to fear her keepers. The torture continues, even when she is eventually let out of the enclosure. If she survives she is sold to perform tricks. Every once in a while an elephant escapes, often with disastrous consequences. However, rarely, a true escape is possible.
Devin likens her own childhood to a phajaan. Here in her words:
Sometimes, though, a true escape is possible. In my eyes, I see fields of green and a bright yellow sun. There are no chains to bind my feet and no ropes to tie me down. All the scars that I have close themselves, fading into memories that will grow more distant with every night that I will sleep, free, under a gently lit moon.
I was born a human being but became an elephant girl, and this is just one of my many, many dreams.
I would invite you to read Jane Devin's post 'In Praise of the Elephant Girls' on her blog.
April is Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Month. No child should go through what Jane Devin and what millions of other children go through. We need to add our voices to this initiative. Together we can prevent the abuse of children. Let us work together to stop it now!
Today we're on E of the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge.

Go Soo to Marry his Non-Celeb Girlfriend this February
Last March, actor Go Soo ("Will It Snow for Christmas") revealed that he was dating a non-celebrity. Earlier today, he has finally announced his engagement and wedding date. The wedding will take place on February 17 at the Silla Hotel, the same place where top stars like Jang Dong Gun and Kwon Sang Woo tied the knot. A source stated, "Go Soo and his girlfriend have been carefully planning their wedding since last year. Even though he was busy with various movies and CFs, he still found time to take care of his girlfriend. Both of their families are happy for them."
A representative of BH Entertainment announced, "Go Soo will tie the knot with his girlfriend at the Silla Hotel February 17 at 6:30PM. The wedding will be a private ceremony."
Go Soo's fiancée Miss Kim was born in 1989 and is 11 years younger than Go Soo. Apparently, she's very beautiful and was named the ulzzang at her arts high school. She currently attends "K" University.
The happy couple met in 2010 through a mutual acquaintance, and their friendly relationship blossomed into a romantic one.
Meanwhile, Go Soo and labelmate Han Hyo Joo are teaming up for a new melo movie titled "Band-Aid."

Sweet Rein 2

Sakura Tsukuba – Viz – 2014 – 3 volumes
This volume brings us another Santa pair, and one more Christmas (mostly, it's Christmas for a second in another chapter), but otherwise, just more of the changing-into-a-reindeer weirdness. Cute, but still very middle-of-the-road, and it doesn't look like the characters are getting developed.
It's strength is actually in the cute sentimental stories of Kurumi and Kaito interacting with giftees. The first story in the volume was my favorite, where Kurumi gave presents to a young boy who lives at an orphanage and tried to give candy to the kids who still believed in Santa. How can you not like that?
For some reason, summer holidays are still a very prominent theme here. One story is about a "Black Santa" testing the bond between Kurumi and Kaito. Another is about Kaito's reindeer brother hanging out with his santa on the beach and disgracing some bullies.
The second santa pair is Kaito's brother and his 17-year-old construction worker stereotype santa. They're pretty cute, in that they both kind of hate each other and gruffly like doing cute, good things.
There's an unrelated one-shot at the end about boys trying to sneak from an all-boys school to an all-girl's school next door. The author says she drew it as an excuse to show crossdressing, and is now embarrassed of it. Okay.
One more volume. Still a cute, Christmas-y read, so I'm happy I picked it up this time of year (which, because this will inevitably be posted later, is a few days before Christmas).

Composites Consulting Group will be hosting and participating in several seminars during IBEX 2013 in Louisville, Kentucky, USA – September 16 – 19. Come see us at booth 1332.
Monday, September 16, 2013
Composite Infusion Training (CIT) Pre-conference Workshop

Wednesday, September 18, 2013
1100 – 1200
Workshop 10: Go from an Average Composite Manufacturer to Manufacturing Advanced Composites with CCG
Would you like to re-engineer your composites, but dont have an engineer on staff? Have you been designing by instinct, but know you can make lighter, better-performing products? Are you looking to change your production process, but haven't found the right person to hire to make those changes, or found a person you can trust to do it? Would you like to convert to infusion, but fear throwing away parts? Wish you could predict how your infused part will fill without risking all that time, labor, and material? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this seminar is for you. Consider leasing an engineer, process specialist, or infusion engineer on a short-term basis versus committing to hiring a full-time staffer. Employing a consulting group that has years of experience in composites and engineering and years of success will ensure your transition from average composite manufacturer to manufacturer of advanced composites, and can save time and money. Composites Consulting Group offers these services and more. We will show case studies demonstrating what we've done with customers in composites engineering, process training, and infusion simulation projects. We will look at industrial, marine, and recreational projects. Q&A time will allow discussion of your project.

Software House Platinum Interactive has pledged its support for Nintendo's next-generation Game Boy Advance, among other systems. The company, whose president helped create such PlayStation titles as SpeedBall 2100, War Spirits and Assault, says that it is currently underway with a "AAA racing game for PlayStation 2." However, it also confesses that it is working on a number of secret projects that encapsulate Nintendo's handheld. "We are currently tied to agreements for developments for PC, Advanced Game Boy, PlayStation 2, X-box and Gamecube," says the company.
Exactly what sort of software Platinum plans to bring to any of the next-generation console, aside from its PlayStation 2 racer, is still unknown. However, the firm stresses that it has several original licenses in the works targeted at all of the coming consoles.

What You'll Get
Before river rafting, thrill seekers that needed to be splashed to have fun were limited to those engaging in dolphin wrestling and Gallagher shows. Celebrate watery wiles with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 toward any half-day, full-day, deluxe, or overnight rafting tour from American Adventure Expeditions. Depending on which trip you choose, difficulty levels range from beginner and intermediate to advanced. American Adventure Expeditions recommends that you bring a swimsuit, quick-drying shorts (not cotton), heel-strap sandals or tennis shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat, as well as dry clothes and a towel for after your trip. Wetsuits, river shoes, and splash jackets are available for an additional fee.
American Adventure Expedition's intrepid guides share their love of the Colorado wilderness with adventurers of all sorts, leading a variety of scenic and thrill-seeking Arkansas River tours. Beginner and intermediate adventurers can choose between the Brown's Canyon and Bighorn Sheep Canyon tours, each of which will glide rafters through a mix of serene river stretches and rapids with such names as Zoom Flume, Big Drop, and Kamikaze (each up to an $84 value for a full day and up to $49 for a half day). While the Brown's Canyon option shows off a remote canyon with remarkable scenery, Bighorn Sheep Canyon treks through the waters of a high-desert setting, catching glimpses of bighorn sheep and rock formations that resemble Colorado congressmen. For full-day tours, paddlers can expect to span 17 miles, and half-day tours track 10 miles down the canyon. Both tours are suitable for families, groups, first-timers, or sentient life vests.
Experienced rapid razzers can elect for a more challenging route with the Royal Gorge or Numbers full- or half-day trips. The Royal Gorge tour, an American Adventure Expeditions exclusive, cuts down Bighorn Sheep Canyon into the Royal Gorge, where granite walls rise over 1,000 feet into the air on either side (up to $99 for full day, up to $64 for half day, adults only). Rafters can expect big waves, fast drops, and river nymphs armed with Super Soakers while they rip through rapids like Sunshine Falls, Boat Eater, and Wall Slammer. Tight channels and steep drops make for nonstop action on The Numbers trip, which is one of the most difficult branches of commercially rafted river in Colorado (up to $104 for a full day, up to $66 for a half day, adults only).
While most full-day tours leave in the morning and last about six hours (depending on the tour), half-day tours provide a less lengthy down-river jaunt, departing two or three times a day and lasting about three hours (depending on the tour). Certified river guides lead all tours, including the lengthier overnight trips ($275, adults only), and deluxe tours, also discounted by today's deal (up to $69 per person). All trips depart from either Buena Vista or Cañon City locations.
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Aug 16, 2011. Amount paid never expires. Not valid until 5/15/11. Reservation required; subject to availability. Must be 6 or older. Not valid for Saturdays in July. Must sign liability waiver. 8.75% Colorado State Parks use and access fee applies. No cash value. Not valid with other offers. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About American Adventure Expeditions
With diverse backgrounds ranging from studying extraterrestrial fluvial geomorphology to being born in the jungle of Chitwan National Forest in Nepal, American Adventure Expeditions' certified guides shepherd rafters of all experience levels down sections of the Arkansas River, navigating rapids of varying intensity and trip lengths. Half-day, full-day, and overnight trips plunge into world-class runs such as The Numbers, an advanced route with powerful Class IV rapids gushing through tight passages and down steep drops, or the more family-friendly Class II and III waters found within Brown's Canyon for mild bumps and splashing contests with ill-tempered salmon.
Guides also pair up aquatic excursions with other extreme thrills such as mountain biking and zipline tours for combo adventures, or skip the water entirely during land-based adventures such as the Royal Gorge Route Railroad train tour. Additionally, two outposts sit along the river, and offer snacks, restrooms, and picnic areas.
