Wolf dogs rescued from chains in Alaska find new home in California
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW – www.ifaw.org) announced today that 29 wolf dogs were rescued from a substandard breeding facility in Palmer, Alaska. Staff and volunteers from the Lockwood Animal Rescue Center (LARC – www.lockwoodarc.org) worked with the Alaska State Special Prosecutor to take possession of the animals living with inadequate veterinary care, food, water and socialization. After two days of veterinary work, the team will transport the wolf dogs more than 3,000 miles to their new home at the Lockwood Animal Rescue Center in Frazier Park, California.
The wolf dogs were being housed individually held by eight-foot chains around their necks. According to reports, the owners fed them only once every four days and, once winter set in, left them to drink out of the soiled fallen snow. Many of the animals exhibited signs of dehydration and open sores around the necks.
"It is absolutely heart-wrenching to see animals living in substandard conditions like this," said Gail A'Brunzo, IFAW Emergency Relief Officer. "In nature, wolves travel 30-50 miles in a day so it's no surprise to see how miserable they were chained-up like that. They are genetically wired to be wild," said A'Brunzo. "This case shows again how thoughtlessness and inadequate care results in terrible suffering for animals."
The rescue effort underway in Alaska involves a team of four veterinarians, an oral surgeon, numerous veterinary technicians and a host of volunteers working day and night to sterilize the wolf-dogs and provide much-needed medical care before the journey south.
"This is LARC's most labor-intensive rescue so far, it has taken weeks of intense work by many people and we can't wait to take these wolf dogs back to our sanctuary and provide them the kind of life they deserve", said Dr. Lorin Linder, LARC President and Co-founder.
Wolf dogs (also known as wolf-dog hybrids) are, like the name implies, part wolf and part dog. Increasingly, people are breeding wolf dogs to be sold as pets. In North America, there are an estimated 300,000 wolf dogs and 1,500 federally regulated pure wolves living in captivity.
"Wolf dogs pose significant behavioral challenges for owners. They can dig, jump or chew out of conventional containment with ease. This sadly results in a large population of unwanted animals who wind up chained in backyards, abandoned or euthanized," said A'Brunzo.
Upon learning of the situation, IFAW stepped-in and provided new enclosures to ensure that all 29 wolf dogs will spend the rest of their days in a suitable environment.
The Lockwood Animal Rescue Center is located on 20 acres in the Los Padres National Forest in Ventura County, California. The 29 rescued wolf dogs will set off from Anchorage, Alaska on Sunday, December 11 and expect to arrive to sanctuary on the 14th. LARC is currently home to 16 wolf dogs. This is the second time IFAW and LARC have collaborated in a rescue, earlier this year four wolf dogs were moved to the sanctuary in California from a bankrupt sanctuary in Texas.

FFDSHOW 64-bit rev. 3882 (20110613)
Vista / Win7 / WinXP
Filter also supports decoding of virtually all audio formats used in movies, including AC3, DTS, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, and several subtitle formats.
The codec also features postprocessing capabilities, support for virtually all MPEG-4 video formats, support for various processor enhancements (such as SSE and MMX), etc. FFDSHOW is released as an open source software under GPL license agreement.
To summarize its main idea, the FFDSHOW consumes way less CPU power than original DivX or XviD codecs, even with maximum post-processing. At the same time the post-processing seems to give excellent quality results and allows more configuring than the original DivX codec. It can even automaticly reduce post-processing if your CPU is getting overloaded. The noise filter adds a kind of a rasterising effect to the picture - might be useful in some cases.
We also recommend that you read through our guide on how to install and configure FFDSHOW.

Bank of America Joins Firm's AppOne Platform
March 15, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Bank of America Joins Firm's AppOne Platform
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services announced today (March 15) that Bank of America's Dealer Financial Services unit will join its AppOne platform to automate and help simplify the marine and RV finance process.
Bank of America's Dealer Financial Services unit provides retail loan financing and commercial banking services to auto, marine and RV dealers across the U.S. AppOne automates the indirect lending process for lenders and dealers by providing credit application workflow automation and compliant document preparation.
AppOne enables lenders and dealers to more easily connect for applications as well as funding packages nationally. AppOne helps lenders and dealers deliver quicker application response times and faster loan transactions with its DocOne document printing engine and validation tool. DocOne allows dealerships to print loan documents from a standard color laser printer onto plain paper at the point of sale and finance at the dealership location. DocOne also helps ensure that loan documentation is accurate and compliant before reaching the lender for funding consideration. DocOne utilizes Wolters Kluwer Financial Services' Bankers Systems line of documents, which is built upon more than 50 years of experience and is protected by Wolters Kluwer Financial Services' industry-leading compliance warranty. DocOne provides data merging and population of these forms through a centralized Web-based delivery source.
"Not only does AppOne automate the finance and credit approval processes, but it also provides forms that are covered by the industry's leading compliance warranty to document every marine and RV loan," said Deborah Nunnally, senior vice president of fulfillment at Bank of America's Dealer Financial Services unit. "Current and accurate loan documents that can be easily reviewed and processed help increase efficiency and improve the dealer/lender experience."
"Our relationship with Bank of America provides great opportunity for marine and RV dealers to simplify the lending process," said Lee Domingue, CEO of indirect lending at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. "Dealers working with Bank of America are now able to more easily connect with this lender through the AppOne platform, which helps them serve their customers faster and more efficiently."

PKD and Style
For instance, one section of the book is titled "The Critical Dynamic: Science Fiction and Style" and it attempts to show that the style of Philip K. Dick is not, as many of us have thought, in most cases rather clumsy, but is, instead, a kind of apotheosis of critical style, a perfection in and of itself. (I suppose it would be easy to believe this if you spend most of your time reading academic journals. Dick's sentences would, indeed, seem a revelation of clarity and eloquence.) The annoying part of the discussion is that Freedman claims to be analyzing language, but he seems to bore himself with this discussion, because he's apparently just not very interested in language as language. I'm not saying that language always has to be analyzed purely for its linguistic elements, that aesthetic criticism is the only way to go or that it's free of assumptions or cant, but it would be nice if you're going to discuss language to really discuss it, and not just say, "Style as it's been talked about by literary people is bourgeois, and this style, which you've all previously thought is ugly, will bring us closer to revolution." (Okay, I'm caricaturing. But only a little.)
I feel compelled to argue here with Freedman not because I want to subject a general audience to academic writing (as if I could subject you to anything -- you know you're about to go click over to some porn once this grows boring). Rather, I think it's a worthwhile exercise now and then to look at complex arguments written in difficult language and see what's going on within them, because sometimes what is there truly is complex enough to justify the difficulty of the diction and syntax. I'm not a master of analyzing this sort of writing, but I do read more than my fair share of it, and the risk of utter misinterpretation and misrepresentation seems worthwhile, at least occasionally, so here we go...
I should attempt fairness and let Freedman speak for himself:
The point to be stressed about the language is its profoundly critical, dialectical character. For undialectical theory, the most familiar emotions -- love, affection, hatred, anger, and so forth -- tend to be unproblematic categories, assumed to be much the same in all times and places, and to exist on an irreducibly subjective level. They may of course manifest themselves in a practically infinite number of permutations, and the precritical reader may relish such psychological fiction as that of Dostoevsky or Flaubert for the subtlety and acuteness with which those authors portray the (presumably universal and static) varieties of affective experience. A dialectical approach, on the other hand, would adopt the kind of perspective suggested by Dick. Because the [opening] paragraph [of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?] shows an emotional dynamic of a future age operating quite differently from what we ourselves empirically experience, the question of the historicity of feelings is raised, and the possibility of a historical periodization of emotion in coordination with other aspects of social development (such as technology) is at least implied. The technical emphasis of the paragraph also tends to remove emotion from idealist notions of spirituality or the unproblematically individual, and to suggest that psychic states may be reducible to concrete and transindividual material realities -- a reduction that Freud, after all, held to be the ultimate conceptual goal of psychoanalysis and Lacan (substituting language for neurobiology as the grounding of psychoanalytic materialism) claimed to have achieved through the mediation of neo-Saussurian linguistics. We may also not that, if the phrase I used above, "technology of the emotion," has a strong Foucauldian ring, it is not by chance. Dick's paragraph does indeed resonate with Foucault's concern to show that power does not merely repress or distort the subjectivity of individuals, but actually constitutes human subjectivity, from the ground up, so to speak, and in historically variable ways. (32)Perhaps I should also quote the paragraph from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? that prompted Freedman to see Dick as an exemplar of Freudian, Lacanian, and Foucauldian ideas:
A merry little surge of electricity piped by automatic alarm from the mood organ beside his bed awakened Rick Deckard. Surprised -- it always surprised him to find himself awake without prior notice -- he rose from the bed, stood up in his multicolored pajamas, and stretched. Now, in her bed, his wife Iran opened her gray, unmerry eyes, blinked, then groaned and shut her eyes again.Before the section I quoted, Freedman does a good job of showing how the word "merry" conveys information within this paragraph and helps the astute reader learn about the imagined world, but few of his insights are, except for the references to critical theorists, anything that would not appear in a basic How to Write Science Fiction sort of handbook. It may be that those of us who read this stuff with some regularity take it for granted and are blind to the amazing power of single words to suggest worlds. But I don't think so. Consider how many fans can cite Heinlein's phrase "the door dilated" (from Beyond This Horizon) as an example of something SF can do that non-SF can't do.
Except non-SF can do it, and plenty. Every book builds a new world out of words, because unless the author is writing only for herself, he will need to wield language in such a way as to suggest important background details, because all fiction is a map of territories, not the territory itself, and words are the substance of that map, the instigators of imagination. If we're imagining Saul Bellow's Chicago, we may draw on our previous experience or knowledge of Chicago to build the setting in our minds (or we may have no previous experience of Chicago and have to use our previous experience of Bangalore), but with SF settings we're also grabbing at whatever happens to be in our head that works for that, too -- images from movies and art, experience with current technologies that we alter a bit (at the prompting of the author's words), etc. The translation of reality into words in fiction renders everything imaginary. As for Rick Deckard's mood organ, we figure out what it is because we already have referents for the words "mood" and "organ". Though I might think of "morose" when I think of the word "mood" and might imagine a clunky old organ I saw in a junk shop while you think of "good" for "mood" and a beautiful pipe organ, our references still overlap enough that we're ending up with the same bit of information. (It would be interesting if, though, for "organ" you associated the word "liver". The biological meaning of "organ" is actually not entirely inappropriate, providing a nice pun.) The clever use of the words "merry" and "unmerry" link in our minds to "mood organ", because, well, they link to the word "mood", and so we easily pick up Dick's meaning with a simple bit of extrapolation. But making a typical move in a clever way is not a hallmark of genius; it's the hallmark of a good craftsman who sometimes got lucky.
I'm off on a tangent. Getting back to where we were -- and maybe all I'm doing is proving that Freedman is right and I should be less suspicious, but let's continue being suspicious for a little while at least -- what does all this have to do with style? Freedman says he's not suggesting that "historical materialism, psychoanalysis, Foucauldian archaology ... are actually present, even embryonically, in the short and apparently unpretentious paragraph that opens Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" but that, instead, those "elaborate theoretical structures" and SF have "shared perspectives":
What is crucial is the dialectical standpoint of the science-fictional tendency, with its insistence upon historical mutability, material reducibility, and, at least implicitly, utopian possibility.Am I an idiot for being doubtful? All storytelling, to some extent or another, represents historical mutability and material reducibility if you want it to. Say you have a novel about one day in the life of somebody whose days are all alike, and thus the book seems, on the surface, to be about the inability to change anything in the world. The writer will, most likely, fill the book with descriptions of objects encountered in the person's unchanging day, situations that are exactly the same, etc. -- and yet, it wouldn't be difficult for a critic to show that, in fact, there are differences between any one moment and the next, and that though the changes represented in the person's day are subtle, they are nonetheless there, and give us hope for the impending, if far-off, triumph of possibility over capitalism.
I could be missing the point. If so, I'm doing it willfully, because I'm depressed about the situation of the world and it's made me cranky with idealists and ideologues. But where were we? Weren't we talking about style? Right, style--
Yet it must be noticed that the quoted sample of Dick's prose, like the prose of most (though certainly not all) science fiction, is far from what is ordinarily considered "fine" writing or the work of a "stylist" in the usual eulogistic sense. If, then, a deep affinity between critical theory and science fiction can be detected on the molecular level of style, the question of stylistic quality or value must somehow be engaged. (32-33)Freedman then goes on to give an overview of what he sees as "the general context of the ideology of style that has developed within hegemonic criteria of literary value". He contrasts style ("an effect of the bourgeois cultural revolution") with rhetoric, which is older and has a "shared figural infrastructure" that "guarantees a considerable degree of pan-rhetorical community", whereas
Style is generally assumed to be the direct expression of the middle-class ego and must be created anew and almost ex nihilo by every stylist. Fundamentally, it has little in common with such a characteristically collective and transpersonal project of the precapitalist order as rhetoric. On the contrary, it is part and parcel of the whole celebration of personal subjectivity so typical of cultural modernity -- not only in the sense that the individual stylist is personally and almost solely responsible for every act of stylistic production, but also in that every particular style (understood here as an overall pattern perceptible in the work of any given stylist) is taken to be profoundly revealing of the author not merely as producer of style but as a human subjectivity in toto. (34)Will you forgive me if this makes me want to scream out the Dead Kennedys song "Holiday in Cambodia"?
(Why do I subject myself to this sort of thing? I don't know. Some sort of guilt, I'm sure. Some of you wear hairshirts, I read Critical Theory and Science Fiction.)
Freedman desperately wants to prove that though Dick's writing may seem to be little more than competent and functional, in actuality it is built of "heterogeneous and polyvalent prose" (37), and hence worthy of admiration for its style. He quotes from Ubik and cites Hemingway and Heinlein for comparison, an interesting mix (I wondered what a comparison with Hammett and Chandler would have done, actually).
Quickly enough, though, we get to the sorts of statements that I find particularly annoying in Freedman's attempt to analyze style, because they show that he's not really interested in style, but rather something else. He states that "the overall critical agendum" of Ubik is "the satiric and rationally paranoid estrangement of the commodity structure of monopoly capitalism", that "the unadorned functionality of neo-Heinleinian prose ... clashes with what is for the reader the intensely strange content of the action" (38).
...Dick's style does more than move his plot along and insinuate the general cognitive estrangements that generically define science fiction. Even more important, the style, in its heterogeneous complexity, enacts on the molecular level the most searching critical-theoretical juxtapositions and interrogations that the novel in toto is concerned with implementing. If this style be "subliterary," then that category itself certainly needs to be rethought -- especially within the general context of science fiction. It is time, in fact, to consider more deeply the ideological functions of formalist canons of stylistic value. (38)Freedman brings in Mikhail Bakhtin to help in this deep consideration, saying the "rejection of any attempt to construct literature as a self-sufficient autonomous system" is what unites Dick and Bakhtin: "For both, the internal structure of style is no less important than, while closely related to, its radical referentiality" (39). The prose of a novel should not be subjected to the same standards of analysis and evaluation as the language of poetry receives, and a poetic style "for all its apparent verbal richness, tends by its lyrical, rhythmic flow to repress otherness, to occlude difference", and so the heteroglossia of novelistic prose is better suited to foregrounding otherness and difference, and thus to help us foment revolution:
Accordingly, it follows that novelistic style, when most capable and most powerfully novelistic (and in that sense, indeed, most literary) may eschew certain properties of polish, of well-roundedness, of fluently controlled density and resonance proper to the poetic, and, correspondingly, that novelistic prose that does display such qualities, however "literary" it may seem in normative terms, is perhaps to be suspected of contamination by the monologic authoritarianism of poetry. ... Conversely, the dialogic, novelistic style endorsed by Bakhtin and exemplified by Dick is above all critical and dialectical, its "prosaic" quality may signal substantive, as opposed to merely technical, complexity. (39-40)Of Dick, Freedman says, "Much of the complexity of the style derives from the ironic fine-tuning possible in free indirect discourse, an instrument that Dick can at times play with near-Flaubertian precision" (41).
Summing up, then, we have learned that clever-if-often-clunky prose eschews technical complexity in favor of substantive complexity, whereas more technically refined prose suffers from monologic authoritarianism, represses otherness, and occludes difference. Thus, we should celebrate Dick's prose because its very "faults" actually better serve the purpose of all science fiction: estrangement, which is a critical tactic that (apparently) helps us better see the terrors of commodity capitalism and overcome personal subjectivity.
While I am in awe of Freedman's ability to argue an apparent weakness into being a strength (boy would I love to see him show why Dr. Futurity is a great novel!), I think he's stacked the deck and also performed some sleight-of-hand, because he's chosen work that is ideologically appealing to him and tried to demonstrate how that ideological appeal manifests itself at the level of the prose. There are simply not enough contrasts within this argument for it to be convincing. We needed a stylistic analysis of Farnham's Freehold, a book I doubt Freedman has much ideological sympathy with, to understand how Dick's "neo-Heinleinian" sentences differ from Heinlein's own. We needed an analysis of some of Dick's bad novels -- surely Freedman agrees that at least one or two of them are, if not as awful as some of us bourgeois individualistic stylemonkeys think, not quite great. None of the techniques he ascribes to Dick are particularly rare within the world of SF writing, and without showing how Dick differs from what I would assume Freedman considers lesser writers, there's simply no way to be convinced that there is validity in his claims.
(I don't mean to beat up on Philip K. Dick, by the way. I've read more books by Dick than by any other writer. I do think estrangement is a central pleasure they offer. I think they'd be just as estranging, and perhaps even more so, if their sentences were more carefully wrought, because there are occasional moments in Dick's better novels [and even a few short stories] that show a real talent for a certain stylistic panache, and these moments are often powerful. Imagine what might result if John Crowley polished the sentences of The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch!)
I'll continue reading Critical Theory and Science Fiction, and I expect once Freedman moves on to topics other than style that I will find his perspective slightly less annoying. Mostly, I suppose what bothers me is his attempt to use complex references and convoluted writing to put forward the idea that "serviceable" prose style is superior to a more distinctive and accomplished style because it is somehow closer to "the truth", when "the truth" turns out to be a shopworn, doctrinaire ideology that any 19-year-old in a college socialist club could spout with more subtlety. There are writers of more stylistic accomplishment whose viewpoint Freedman might consider just as politically interesting as Dick's (Don DeLillo comes to mind), and I find it difficult to believe that such writers are hiding otherness or blinding us to the realities of our commodified lives through the dazzle of their words, because an accomplished style can be a zap to the language centers of the brain, a distinctly estranging experience at the immediate level of words, a euphonic revolution in and of itself.
I'm hardly the first to say that stylistic accomplishment stands in sharp relief to the flat and numbing language that surrounds us, the dissembling pronouncements of bureaucrats and admeisters, the rote phrases that hide empty thought, hypocrisy, and murder. This may be my own ideology, but it is one of the few that gives me any hope in humanity.

Cooper's Choice – Mortlach 1979
Review: The Cooper's Choice – Mortlach 1979
Single Malt Scotch Whiskey 83/100
I have a thing for well aged whisky. I love the spirits which have been aged 15 … 20 even 25 years. I also have a soft spot for a bargain. So when I spied a 25-year-old Single Malt Scotch for only $125 bucks, I was like a hungry fish spying a shiny new lure. In spite of my firm resolution to only buy what I sample first, I was hooked! I did not even put up much of a fight.
The Cooper's Choice seems to be a relatively new third-party bottler who have stepped into my market place bringing in Scotch whisky from distillers who typically do not bottle their own products. In this case the Mortlach Distillery in Dufftown, a Speyside distillery. (I know what you are thinking and No! This is not the home of Duff Beer, The Simpsons and the Mortlach Distillery are not related.)
In the Bottle 4.5/5
I like the nice green cardboard box with the gold graphics showing the cooperage of oak barrels along the top. I also like the nice gold topped bottle with solid cork topper. My only quibble is the label which does not have that solid professional look I have come to expect from Scottish Whisky. It does tell me that the whisky was distilled in 1979, and bottled in 2005. I can do the math, the whisky is at least 25 years old.
This does not appear to be a single barrel bottling, but rather a blend of barrels all aged the same length of time from the same distillery. The bottling proof is 92, or as the label says 46 % Vol.
In the Glass 8.5/10
The legs creep down the side of my glencairn glass in thick rivulets giving the promise of thick oil and long finish. As I watch, strong toffee, oak and smoke led out in front of a mildly sweet honey and caramel. The nose is aggressive and fills the room. If I had been doing a tasting, the nose from this bottle might well have overwhelmed the other whiskies. The addition of a Single ice-cube brought a foggy haze to the glass which is sometimes the case with non chill filtered spirits.
In my Mouth 49/60
The nose prepared me for the onslaught from the bottle. My palate was filled with a triumvirate of heavy smoke, heavy oak, and 92 proof alcohol. It pretty much knocked my taste buds back and disabled them to the other nuances. It was not until I rested my palate, and added an ice-cube that I was able to taste the other nuances of the dram.
The ice instantly made the whisky creamy ans a light sweetness became apparent. Organic boggy peat, caramel and vanilla all made their presence felt, but oak and smoke still dominated. The smokey flavour carried dried fruits like raisins and currants, with a strong dose of prunes.
In the Throat 12.5/15
The exit was like the entry, heavy and hard. The smoke never stopped and neither did the heavy oak resins and tannin. Only with the addition of ice were the sweeter flavours apparent on the finish.
The Afterburn 8.5/10
I was not disappointed with my impulse purchase. When one buys a 25-year-old Scotch Whisky one expects intense flavour and richness. A typical 25 year Old Scotch from a brand Distillery would normally cost twice the price of my Mortlach 1979, so I am well pleased.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Cocktails:
A 25 Year old Single Malt Scotch is a nice challenge to mix suitably. I'll start simply with Mortlach on Ice.
Mortlach on Ice
1 1/2 oz Mortlach 1979
Twist of Lemon
Dash of Sugar Syrup
Build on ice
Garnish with Lemon Slice
Now I'm going to go in a traditional direction and build a Rusty Nail.
Mortlach 1979 Rusty Nail
1 Oz Mortlach 1979
1 oz Drambuie
Cracked Ice
Build on ice in a Rocks Glass
And finally something original that you won't find in your cocktail books:
Mean Streets 1
an original cocktail by chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
1 1/2 oz Mortlach 1979
3/4 oz Bombay Blue Sapphire Gin
3/8 oz Grand Curacao
Juice from 1/2 Grapefruit
Build in a shaker with ice
Shake until chilled
Strain into a suitable glass
An Alternate construction….
Mean Streets 2
an original cocktail by chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
1 1/2 oz Mortlach 1979
3/4 oz Bombay Blue Sapphire Gin
3/8 oz Grand Curacao
Juice from 1/2 Grapefruit
Build on ice in a Rocks Glass
Garnish with a slice of lime
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Zucchini Bread for Breakfast!
I'm a sucker for anything with lemon, and with the fresh zucchini finally coming into the farmer's market, I knew I HAD to make this recipe from Swell Vegan's cookzine (appropriately named Swell).
As you can see by the picture, it didn't get much lift in the oven, but I'm used to that since I only use whole wheat pastry flour rather than white. It never gets as fluffy. Swell Vegan actually recommended spelt flour (which I didn't have on hand) or part all-purpose, part whole wheat pastry flour. But I subbed all whole wheat pastry flour.
I did have to cook this about 30 minutes longer than the recipe called for. I think this might have had something to do with my oven. But her recipe calls for a 45 to 50 minute cooking time on 325 degrees. I always bake breads like these on 350 for about an hour, so I ended up jacking up the temp to 350 after 55 minutes in the oven. Then I cooked it for 20 more minutes. When I make it again, I'll start with a 350 degree oven.
And I will be making this again! It was scrumptious schmeared with Tofutti cream cheese:
By the way, after the last tofu fish post, a few people asked when my cookbook will be coming out. Honestly, I don't know. I have about 200 recipes developed, but the dessert section still needs some work. And my testers are hard at work trying things out. I plan to find a publisher (or self-publish) after the recipe development phase ... that way I can do things at my own pace. My goal for finishing recipe development, though, is December.

yum, what a cool spin on zucchini bread! i, too, willingly accept a lack of lift in my baked goods in order to avoid the dreaded white flour.

i need to buy Swell's cooking zine! the zucchini bread looks moist & amazing! we cook with whole wheat flour as well and are now used to things coming out a little more dense. i just love the flavor of whole wheat, and how much more awesome it is for you!

sounds awesome, when i use wholewheat flour it never rises as much either, so i'm used to it too.
- June 11, 2009 at 6:56 AM
I just got that book but I somehow missed this recipe. I'm going to find it and make it ASAP!
- June 11, 2009 at 8:32 AM
oh that bread looks great!
that's so exciting that you are coming out with a cookbook! good luck!

Random question, since you mentioned Tofutti and I used mine yesterday. Do you use the non-hydrogenated kind? Because...the last time I bought it I spent the extra $0.50 or whatever it was for the non-hydrogenated, and..it just doesn't taste as cream cheesey to me. Boo.
You definitely just made me want some zucchini bread though, YUM!

Oh I need to try that!! We have so much local zucchini right now around here. Yum yum.
- June 11, 2009 at 10:34 AM
Cool! It always rises pretty well for me (I actually use whole spelt flour), but maybe you do need to get your hands on an oven thermometer. I realized that I'd been putting things in too early for ages!
Also, I'm excited to hear about your cookbook update. 200 recipes! That's crazy!

Yum! I just made the zucchini spelt muffins from Vegan Brunch, and they were fantastic. Even my boyfriend liked them, in a surprised "This has zucchini and seems healthy but it is delicious" kind of way.

Zuke bread looks great! Maybe you can get in touch with Bob and Jenna at Tofu Hound Press when you start looking for publishers.

(a) Patent-related courses/externships: Cardozo has more patent-related courses (e.g., "Patent Claim Construction") that will be directly applicable to my job, (supposedly) allowing me to 'hit the ground running.' Furthermore, Cardozo also has externships that are specifically IP-related while Hastings does not (I think).
(b) Quality of teaching: I have read complaint(s) about the quality of teaching at Cardozo (but no such gripes for Hastings). I have also read that the turn-over rate for Cardozo professors is relatively high -- teachers don't stick around for long. (I don't remember if I had read all this in a single post on some discussion forum.)
(c) Class selection: Hastings has a lottery system for enrollment in upper-division elective classes so students may be limited in their course selection. I don't think Cardozo has this problem. Furthermore, Cardozo has some really interesting classes such as "Philosophical Foundations of the Common Law" and "European Legal Theory" which are very tempting (but perhaps are only irrelevant distractions).
(d) J.D./L.L.M. joint degree: Cardozo allows students to complete their JD and LLM in IP law in seven semesters. There are certainly conflicting opinions about the actual value of LLM degrees. However, having the opportunity to earn another degree while possibly waiting for the economy to more fully recover is not a bad plan.
(a) Alumni network: Hastings' alumni network in the SF bay area is extensive. Cardozo's alumni network is smaller since it is a relatively new law school.
(b) Class-standing: All things being equal, I will most likely achieve a higher class-standing at Cardozo. However, I read that Cardozo groups all their scholarship-winners together into the same sections(s) to increase competition (and possibly save money on grade-contingent scholarship awards).
Are there any considerations I have missed? How would you decide?Any suggestions, advice, or comments very much appreciated. Thank you.
First of all, once in law school, you're going to be picking classes on three criterias. 1) The professor is a generous grader 2) The subject matter is going to be on the bar exam and 3) I'm actually interested in learning about this stuff.And yes, that's a ranked list.
There is no conflicting opinions on the value of LLM degrees. Their value is 0.
Also, take a word of advice from my Patent law professor. "DO! NOT! TAKE! THE! PATENT! BAR!". His words, not mine.

For the seventh and eighth grade students at East Bay Waldorf, I brought an anti-drug presentation that reminded them of the things in their lives to say YES to. Then, they can say NO to drugs with conviction. I had made it interactive to engage them in heart, head, and hands!
I posed to them that it will be the actions of love that will keep them safe from the harmful effects of drug abuse.I gave each of the students a paper circle with a street name of a drug written on it, and we grouped them into the common illicit drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine. We also discussed smoking, alcohol, and steroids. I began with how the drugs are taken and how they enter the bloodstream to affect the brain and other organs of the body. I listed many of their effects, which I hoped had painted a fairly graphic image of the physical consequences such as convulsions, hallucinations, organ damage, irreversible brain injury, and death. Additionally, I touched on the legal consequences of manufacturing, distributing, possessing, and using illegal drugs.
The paper circles that each student held allowed me to do interactive statistics with them. For instance, with 35 of the students in my class, I had 7 stand to show the percentage of eighth graders who will smoke marijuana for the first time. Quite effectively, I had students stand to show how many would start smoking tobacco by high school, and who would end up dying as a result of it.
We also did an impromptu play about peer influence and peer pressure. The students really enjoyed it, as I had four with purple bean bags try to convince two friends to start playing with the cool bean bags. I commended the students who resisted, despite the pressuring and pushing of their peers!
Despite knowing about the consequences of illegal drug use, some people still cannot say no. I posed to the the students that perhaps these people do not have in their lives the things to say YES to. I had the students close their eyes and bring into their hearts the people in their lives who support and love them, and the activities they engage in that fill them with passion and strength. All the things that give us a natural high on life.
On the board, the students one by one placed the drug names in an arch around children I had drawn to show the pressure of negative influences bearing down on them. Then, I had asked each one to tell me what it was in their hearts. I wrote those on the board between the drugs and the boy and girl I had drawn. These things, hobbies, music, sports, family, all provided a supportive barrier against drug use. And if you look closely at the picture, you can see that I had written in yellow chalk the word LOVE - the actions of love that keep them safe from harm!
What are they keeping safe, I asked. Their self-identity, self-respect, self-worth, their health, their spirits.
And finally, I ended the discussion with a verse I had written for them:
My body is a sailing vessel
I am captain of its course
A voyage of wish and wonder
To the magic of distant shores.
North, South, East, and West
I am guided by sun and moon
Waves may batter at my hull
Yet I remain strong and true.
The journey moves my spirit
Love of life and Self drives me,
Joyfulness expands in my wake,
I sail on towards destiny.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Lipscomb Bisons golf team finished 15th in the Eagle/Osprey Intercollegiate to end its fall campaign.
Sydney Chung shot the low round of the day for Lipscomb with a 76 over the final 18 holes in the third round of the 54-hole tournament at the Deerwood Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla.
"I am real proud of what we did this week," Lipscomb Director of Golf Will Brewer said. "Even though our finish doesn't show it, we didn't play that bad this week.
"Everybody did a lot of good things well. We struck the ball well both days. I also thought our decision making was very good, but the one thing we didn't do a great job at was putting. A couple of bad putts here and there put us behind the eight ball early on."
All five Bisons played the three day tournament within four strokes of each other and were paced by Mikey Feher's 231. Feher posted rounds of 75-78-78 to finish tied for 50th.
"Mikey's leadership was good," Brewer said. "What I like the most about Mikey is that he is an absolute tiger when it comes to competitiveness on the golf course. He has a strong will and a very strong mental capacity."
Dowling Armstrong and Caston Roberts both tied for 59th with a 233 total. Armstrong shot 79 on Tuesday after shooting a pair of 77s in the first two rounds.
Roberts is coming off an injury that sidelined him for a month and a half and still managed to shoot the low round of the tournament for the Bisons with a 74 in the first round. He followed up the two-over par round with an 80 and 79.
"The scored doesn't really dictate how Caston played," Brewer said. "Coming off an injury you are going to be a little rusty, but I thought Caston played well and continued to get stronger each day. He was a couple bad holes from shooting a 72 today."
Finishing in 65th, Paul Klein-Kracht stayed consistent firing 78 in all three rounds for a total of 234.
Before shooting the 76 on Tuesday, Chung posted 79-80 on Monday for a 235 total. He finished tied for 69th.
Vanderbilt who is ranked the No. 18 team in the nation, was crowned tournament champions after shooting a 12-over par 876 (292, 291, 293).
Logan McCracken of Tulsa won the medalist and was the only player in the field to finish under par. McCracken fired rounds of 72, 71 and 68 for a three round total of 211. He finished five strokes in front of second place.
"I am somewhat disappointed no one stepped up and took charge this week," Brewer said. "Everyone was bunched together, and that is good because it shows just how competitive this bunch is. But we need to step up and get that much better."
The Bisons wrapped up a successful fall campaign that saw them win the Murray State Invite along with having a third and fourth place finish.
"I think we are stronger top to bottom without question this year compared to last year," Brewer said. "I am not necessarily pleased with how we finished in a couple of events, but the win was good for us. A lot of good things happened this fall, but no one is satisfied."
Eagle/Osprey Intercollegiate Results
T50-Mikey Feher – 75-78-78 = 231 [+15]

One island: Haiti (left) and Dominican Republic (right)
To find sustainable solutions, we need to identify ways to use renewable resources at a rate which is slower than the resource can regenerate; as well as to use the resources in a way which does not produce more pollution than Nature and human health can safely absorb.
Part of a solution will probably be renewable sources of power, such as hydropower, solar, and wind - if they can be financed. But these renewables have important constraints, and take time, energy, and money to build, and I'm not going to address these technologies in this post. Instead, this post will focus on smaller scale, more distributed tools and techniques. I don't claim to be an expert on any of the ideas in this post, and I hope that people who are can contribute to the discussion in this context.
To effectively reduce both of the main problems resulting from extensive use of wood (deforestation and particulate pollution), we should address both the demand and supply for wood fuel. On the demand side we can focus on:
- Reducing the need for heating fuel
- Using non-fuel heating and cooking technologies
- Using the most efficient ways of wood-based heating and cooking
1. Reducing need for heating energy
We can use many techniques to reduce the need to burn wood for heating. To reduce the need for heating, for example, we could consider:
- Consolidating families from many to one house
- Insulation
- Weatherizing
- Maximizing use of solar gain from windows during the day and covering them at night
- Wearing layers of warm clothes
- Using multiple blankets and comforters
- Sleeping/congregating in one room/bed to maximize body heat
- Hot water bottles
- Blocking off parts of the house which don't need to be heated
- Earth-sheltered homes or basements (although this would be difficult to retrofit to an existing home)
2. Solar Technologies
Solar technologies which don't burn fuel should be used whenever possible. I'm not talking about expensive photovoltaic systems, but technologies which directly turn the sun's energy into heat for cooking and heating. These would include solar ovens and cookers, passive solar heating, solar water heaters, solar heaters, and solar food dryers. Of course, the great advantage of these technologies is that they don't require any ongoing wood or fuel usage, and also produce no pollution. Therefore there are minimal, if any, negative health effects, no ongoing cost to operate, and no need to gather fuel.
The use of these technologies, which don't require the careful manufacture and rare materials that photovoltaic systems do, could go a long way toward reducing the pressure on our forests and urban trees. Some of these solar tools can even be improvised from scavenged materials and built ultra-locally.
In some of the sunniest climates, the use of these solar technologies could drastically reduce the need to use wood. For example, Sun Ovens International reports that the use of Sun Ovens can cut the need for cooking fuel by up to 70%. After personally using a Global Sun Oven since spring of this year, I believe I could use it to cook lunch and dinner on every sunny day between mid-April and mid-October, here in Oklahoma City. Of course, solar tools are more useful in sunnier regions, and often cannot be used very effectively on cloudy days.
3. Efficient heating and cooking
Fireplaces and open fires waste most of their heat and generate quite a bit of pollution. In fact, fireplaces might not properly be called a "heat source" since they suck warm air up the chimney. More efficient ways to use wood for heating and cooking might include Earth ovens, Masonry/Finnish heaters, Kelly Kettles, super-efficient EPA-certified wood stoves, and hay box cookers. Pellet stoves could be part of a solution, but they require a dependable source of the wood or corn pellets, and also require electricity to operate, so would require some kind of PV system or other on-site power generation.
Masonry, aka Finnish heaters, have a reported 90% combustion efficiency, compared to 10% efficiency for a standard fireplace or 60% for an average woodstove.
The mass of a brick or Earth oven retains the heat so that it can be used to cook multiple dishes throughout the day. A hay or box cooker insulates a pot which has been brought to boiling, so it can continue to cook without any additional fuel. A Kelly Kettle (aka Storm Kettle) can reportedly heat 2 pints of water for tea, coffee, broth, or water pasteurization with only a few twigs in 4 or 5 minutes. Even a simple mbaula (clay cook oven), if compared to an open cook-fire, can reduce the amount of wood burned by two-thirds.
An efficient, EPA-certified wood stove can heat water, cook food, and heat a house - all at once. Still, any kind of wood burning will generate particulate pollution, and the use of wood-burning stoves by hundreds of thousands of households within a city could spell disaster. While many people will not have a real choice, burning wood should be minimized in favor of solar technologies whenever possible.
Kelly / Storm Kettle
Efficiency is not only about technology, but also technique. Efficiency could mean a small business owner using an Earth oven to bake bread for the neighbors, instead of each household needing their own Earth oven. Or an efficient stove and a series of box cookers in one location per block - the stove could be used to bring the cookers to boil, one after the other, and then set in the box cookers. These techniques, which rely on community teamwork and cooperation, could also drastically cut fuel use.
Supply Side
Supply side (providing fuel) techniques and strategies don't prevent particulate pollution, but they can help reduce deforestation and the resulting ecological damage. On the supply side, we should consider these strategies:
- Sustainable Harvesting
- Reforesting
- Alternative fuel crops
1. Sustainable Harvesting Techniques
To be sustainable, we cannot harvest wood any faster than it can regrow. The wood should also be harvested in a way to prevent destruction of ecosystems, soil erosion, and other results of methods such as clearcutting. This will have to be tailored to each forest, to each type of tree, and will therefore vary from region to region.
So first, let's use all the resources that are freely available. Limbs, twigs, and trees that have already fallen in urban areas should be USED as much as possible, instead of burned in open landfills or turned into landscaping mulch. Currently, municipal governments spend vast amounts of energy, labor and money hauling off unwanted "waste" wood from individual properties. How much better would it be if this resource could be used near the source, or redistributed locally?
Secondly, many trees and shrubs benefit from regular pruning, and re-grow their limbs within several years. Tree and shrub pruning, instead of tree harvesting, could be a way to provide firewood.
Coppicing is a method of forest management in which the same deciduous trees are harvested repeatedly. Because the root mass of the tree is preserved when the tree is cut, the tree will grow multiple sprouts that can shoot up to 4-15 feet in a year. Coppiced forests are usually managed by rotating through different sections, which leaves the trees in the other areas to grow and host various plants and animals. Coppicing actually prolongs the life of a tree. A properly coppiced tree may not die for centuries, during which time it will be harvested dozens of times. Therefore coppicing, combined with continuous tree planting to account for trees that die, is a virtually sustainable method of providing wood for heating and cooking.
Selective harvesting is a method of cutting selected single or groups of trees within a forest, to avoid the disruptive ecological effects of cutting down a wide swath of trees. It can be combined with coppicing to preserve a more natural forest setting.
2. Reforesting
Reforesting our cities and forests will serve several purposes. We can plant urban food forests filled with fruit and nut trees, which could provide local food security. Replanting trees can help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and provide shade and cooling in hot weather. Replanting will replace trees that have been harvested for fuel, and these trees, after several years, can then be pruned to provide wood fuel. On an economic level, reforestation would be an excellent "green" collar job.
3. Alternative fuel crops
After my first post, several people suggested alternatives to harvesting traditional forest trees. One, the Tree of Heaven, is an invasive species that grows like a weed, because it is. It's already present in 42 states, and would be a good candidate for coppicing (apparently it regrows very vigorously, and suckers). The problem is that invasive plants are a scourge, but in locations where this tree already exists, it might prove to be useful.
The second is hemp. For those that don't know, hemp is not marijuana, because the strain grown for fiber/fuel/etc. contains only .3% of the psychoactive THC, not enough for any kind of intoxicating effect. Hemp produces a lot of biomass, is extremely easy to grow, and has multiple (some claim infinite :) uses, including biodiesel. Frankly, I don't know much about the use of hemp for fuel. Any contributors out there who do?
Sounding the alarm
Using a wood stove can be a great strategy to prepare for peak oil, on an individual basis. When used on a mass scale, especially in urban areas, it could be devastating - to our health, to the health of our ecosystems, and to the climate.
Humans have needed energy to meet their cooking and heating needs for thousands of years, and that won't change any time soon, regardless of the availability or cost of electricity, natural gas, or heating oil. A few cold winters, combined with a poorer population and electrical blackouts, could result in a dramatic cut in our urban tree population or our forests.
So how do we meet our needs, while caring for the health of the planet and our neighbors?
A combination of the above mentioned technologies and techniques, if deployed promptly and properly, could address the deforestation and pollution issues, while also decreasing our use of fossil fuels - TODAY.
Ideally, we need to minimize our need to heat through insulation, weatherizing and clothing/blankets. Over time, our bodies would acclimate to lower temperatures. We would use solar technologies to heat our homes and cook our food on every sunny day. And for the remaining amount of wood-burning we might need to do, we would use sustainably harvested wood (pruned or coppiced) in the most efficient wood-burning technology possible.
But how do we get these ideas out to the public? How do we persuade citizens, governments, and communities to adopt these technologies and techniques? How could we push this information out to the public in an emergency or disaster?
More on this to come in Part III.

The excavating Is being done by William Dangle of Amherst and under tbe supervision of Mr. Church, overseer of the construction company. The excavating will take only a short time, aa the ground upon which the new building will be erected has a gradual slope from east to west. Thla fact will necessitate only a slight excavation on the west end of the plot The hauling of the stone for tha foundation started yesterday and as soon as the excavation Is done, tha foundation will be started. From all indications and estimates given by Supt. Powers, the foundation will be laid before school is out in May. The remodeling of the west wall of the present building will not start until that time, although tho walls on the addition may be started In case that the excavation la finished soon enough to warrant such steps WOMEN'S AUXILIARY PLANS ACTIVITIES POR SUMMER Tha Women's Auxiliary of the Amerlcsn Legion held a meeting In their club rooms In the Kolbe block Monday evening, at wbtch time spring events were planned.

The Neu meister brothers, Monger snd Einwachter each put the ball through the hoop for counters in this period, while Hearn, Wiseman and 'Bruce accounted for tbe nine points msde by the Alumni. In the third quarter both teams bat tied on even terms, neither team mak ing any headway. At tbe beginning of tbe last quarter the Alumni came In strong with two field goals, but their rally only lasted for a short time, when the high lads caged two field goals, making the score stand 26-16. With only four minutes to play, a foul waa called on Hearn, which caused a rebuke from the crowd. The crowd remained In an uproar'when L. Neumeister went to the foul line to shoot the free throw. An additional foul was called on this account, which received the same applause from the crowd. The noise went on in this manner until four fouls were called, which caused the crowd to quiet down. No protest was made by Capt. Hearn of the Alumni. At this point two of the Alumni players left the floor. An effort was made to get them to come back but It was of no avail. Hearn, Wiseman and It. Baumhardt proved themselves real sports by finishing the game with three men against Ave. L. Neumeister made tbe four free throws count, but the high school team will only consider an official score from the time that both teams had five men on the floor, the score being 26-16 at that time. It is a question as to'whother the referee had the right lo call tbe additional three fouls on tbe Alumni when the cheering for both teams was eqnual. It is also a question as to whether It was the Alumni crowd which prevented L. Neumeister from shooting tbe foul or whether It was >the high school crowd that was making the noise. At any rate, Coach Durllng decided that the official score should be taken from the points scored by both teaics previous to the foul called on Hearn With only four minutes of play. I* is a -fact that the players on neither team were to blame and a sportsmanlike feeling still exists between tbe two teams Vat tue benetlt of those wh > would like o settle the question of whether any partiality was shown to either team, the fouls called during the 36 minutes were even, each team making 18 fouls.
