Why buy Precor fitness equipment? StretchTrainer
We're moved by making it easier for you to reach your goals. Whether it's looking good, staying healthy, reaching a new personal best, or just living life, that's what we care about. And that's why we create extraordinarily innovative products that move the way you move and work the way you work. So you can enjoy a more positive, motivating and empowering fitness experience.
Precor has distinguished itself as a worldwide industry leader, providing state-of-the-art fitness equipment to health clubs, hotels, spas, fitness centers, and private homes all over the world. We're proud of our hard-won reputation for producing fitness equipment that's easy for people of all abilities to use and durable enough to withstand years of use. The same experience and commitment to quality that goes into all of our commercial equipment also goes into the creation and manufacture of our home models. So, however far you take your personal fitness, we're right there with you every step of the way.
Backed by one of the best warranties in the business. We stand fully behind every piece of fitness equipment we produce. We've been building equipment to withstand the repetitive rigorous workouts of commercial use for years, so we know quality and durability. We're proud of the work we do and the respect we've earned, so we're confident in warranting all residential products and commercial products used in the home for the following periods:
- Lifetime frame and welds
- 10 years parts and wear items for any commercial equipment purchased for home use
- 1 year labor
Why buy the StretchTrainer™?
A lot of people who know stretching is an important part of a complete workout rarely stretch. Some think it takes too long. Or they don't know how to stretch properly. Others don't like the idea of stretching on a floor mat.
The Precor StretchTrainer doesn't take any of these excuses lying down. It's easy, it feels good, and it quickly helps you get consistent stretches every time. The patented design increases flexibility, helps improve overall athletic performance and can even reduce the chance of injury. All this explains why universities, rehabilitation facilities, professional sports teams and athletes use the StretchTrainer.
Below are benefits of the StretchTrainer:
A new and better way to stretch
The StretchTrainer was designed to isolate your muscles so they can stretch correctly and more thoroughly than stretching on the floor. Stretching from the seated position enables you to keep your pelvis and knees in place and better stabilize your back. Using your own body weight and by gently rocking backwards in the pivot seat while holding onto the handlebar, you are able to achieve a full stretch in much less time than stretching on the floor.
Improves flexibility for everyday activities. The more flexible your joints, muscles and tendons, the more efficiently and safely your will be able to accomplish the ordinary movements they perform countless times a day.
Improves athletic performance and coordination.Stretching uses a series of contractions and relaxations that send signals through the pathways of the central nervous system. Frequent use of these pathways will increase coordination. In addition, all joints have their own level of flexibility. Tight muscles or joints can lead to improper body mechanics. Flexible joints and muscles allow the athlete to conduct the most efficient and effective movement.
Helps prevent loss of flexibility over time.The StretchTrainer can be especially beneficial for people who have not stretched in years. While flexibility will decrease dramatically if you don't stretch, flexibility will not decrease with age (or decrease less) if you continue to stretch.
May relieve or reduce pain. Many individuals who suffer back pain have inflexible hamstrings coupled with weak abdominal muscles. This causes the pelvis to tilt forward when standing, decreasing the curvature of the lumbar spine and resulting in added stress on the vertebral column, an increased load on the postural muscle, and fatigue. Since the StretchTrainer keeps your pelvis in place and stabilizes extremities, you are able to "unload" your spine, relieving stress on the vertebral column.
May help relieve arthritis pain. Arthritis sufferers and anyone with a degenerative joint condition may find relief with the StretchTrainer. As your joints move, the amount of synovial fluid in the joints increases while the thickness of the fluid decreases. This process enhances the lubrication in the joint and can even delay the onset or progression of arthritis.
Easy to use. It's as easy as getting on and get stretching. There is an instructional placard that details the eight essential stretches. There are comfortable wrist wraps to provide comfortable security as you go through the movements.
Gets your stretching routine off the floor.Many people may resist stretching since it requires being on the floor and it's an unfamiliar routine. The StretchTrainer addresses these concerns by placing you in proper stretching position off the floor. To make the stretching program easier and intuitive, key stretches are clearly detailed on the instructional placard mounted on the equipment.
Built to last. Like any Precor product, the StretchTrainer was built with you in mind. And the handlebars and kneepads are covered with sweat-resistant foam for added comfort and long-term durability.
Space-efficient and easy to assemble.And since its frame is made with powder-coated steel to prevent rusting and chipping, it will look good for years to come.
Moving forward, we will continue to focus on understanding the role fitness plays in everyday life and how users interact with our equipment. We use every observation to create equipment that makes exercise more engaging, enjoyable, fluid, and natural. And we believe we'll change how you think about and pursue fitness again in the future.

Men's and Women's Basketball Helps Out at MSHA Family Day Event
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 24, 2011) – The ETSU men's and women's basketball teams, along with other athletic department personnel, volunteered their time Saturday morning to help out at the Niswonger Children's Hospital's Family Activity Day.
The event, which was held inside the ETSU/Mountain States Health Alliance Athletic Center for the second consecutive year, was sponsored by multiple organizations, including MSHA, Fit Kids, the Kohl's Kids on the Move program, and ETSU athletics.
"Having our athletic department give back to the community is important because of all the support community members give us," said Sara Hacker, ETSU Director of Marketing and Corporate Development. "Our basketball teams did a great job showing the children the importance of staying fit and working out. Staying active plays a vital role in a person's healthy lifestyle, and hopefully the families took away some useful tips during today's event with Mountain States Health Alliance."
The Family Activity Day focuses on showing parents and children different ways to spend active time together. Multiple events were made available for participants, including inflatable games, Wii Fit stations, and jump rope activities. The children received a card for a scavenger hunt and when they filled up the card with stamps they received a prize at the end of the station.
In addition, MSHA's Health Resource Center provided health screenings for blood pressure and body mass index to those that attended.
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics takes pride in its community service activities and strives for 100 percent participation from its student-athletes, coaches and administrators throughout the year.
For more on ETSU athletics and its community outreach efforts, visit ETSUBucs.com.

Defendants Allegedly Did Not Help Consumers Sell Their Timeshare Properties as Promised
A telemarketing operation that allegedly deceived consumers who were trying to sell their timeshare properties is permanently banned from the timeshare resale and rental business, and from all telemarketing, under settlements with the Federal Trade Commission. The case is part of the FTC's ongoing effort to crack down on con artists who use fraud and deception to take advantage of consumers in financial distress.
According to the FTC's complaint against Vacation Property Sellers Inc., Vacation Property Services Inc., Higher Level Marketing Inc., Frank M. Perry, Jr., David S. Taylor, and Albert M. Wilson, the defendants deceived consumers who were trying to sell their timeshare properties into paying an up-front fee ranging from $200 to more than $8,000, claiming they had buyers lined up or would find buyers for consumers' properties. When consumers realized they had been duped, the defendants allegedly ignored their phone calls and denied refund requests. The FTC charged the defendants with misrepresenting their refund policies and the existence of potential buyers, and calling consumers whose phone numbers were on the FTC's Do Not Call Registry.
In addition to the timeshare and telemarketing bans, the settlement order against Perry, Vacation Property Sellers, and Higher Level Marketing prohibits them from misrepresenting material facts about any goods or services, and selling or otherwise benefitting from consumers' personal information. The order imposes a $23.5 million judgment that was suspended when Perry and the companies surrendered almost all of their assets. The settlement order against Taylorcontains the same conduct prohibitions and imposes a $3.7 million judgment, which was suspended based on his inability to pay. The full judgments will become due immediately if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition. Litigation continues against the remaining defendants, Vacation Property Services Inc. and Albert M. Wilson.
To avoid pitfalls when selling a timeshare unit, read the FTC's Selling a Timeshare Through a Reseller: Contract Caveats.
The Commission vote approving the proposed consent order against Perry, Vacation Property Sellers, and Higher Level Marketing was 5-0. The Commission vote approving the proposed consent order against Taylor was 3-1, with Commissioner Rosch voting in the negative. The orders were entered by the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, on September 30, 2011, and March 20, 2012, respectively.
NOTE: This consent order is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the defendants that the law has been violated. Consent orders have the force of law when approved and signed by the District Court judge.
The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC's online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 2,000 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC's website provides free information on a variety of consumer topics. Like the FTC on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Farren seeks to represent himself in trial
STAMFORD -- The former White House attorney accused of trying to kill his wife in their New Canaan mansion more than three years ago, has asked to represent himself in his criminal trial in May.
John Michael Farren appeared at state Superior Court in Stamford with his criminal defense attorneys Eugene Riccio and Timothy Moynahan before Judge Richard Comerford on Thursday morning. The defense attorneys filed a request for Farren to represent himself.
Riccio and Moynahan had been headed to the trial with Farren, who could face a long prison sentence if he is convicted of attempted murder and first-degree assault in the case.
If Farren is granted his request, he could be cross-examining the woman he allegedly tried to kill.
Farren, 59, formerly of 388 Wahackme Road, New Canaan, was arrested Jan. 6, 2010, after police said he attacked his then-wife, Mary Farren, with a large metal flashlight, breaking her jaw and bones in her face, the day after she had divorce papers served on him.
Mary Farren pushed the bedroom alarm in their $4 million home and fled to a neighbor's with her two young daughters, Farren's arrest warrant affidavit said.
Farren spent the next six months in jail before his release to a psychiatric facility after posting $750,000 bond. He has since been released. He lives with family in West Hartford, where he wears a tracking device.
Farren's case has been in limbo as he tried to secure funds for a psychiatric evaluation he hopes will prove he was under extreme emotional distress at the time of the assault.
Over the past year, he has tried to jettison his attorneys, and filed a motion on his own behalf to have his case dismissed because he said his constitutional rights were being violated by his wife, who has fought to deny him access to his money to defend himself effectively.
It is uncertain whether his psychiatric evaluation is complete.
Farren served as general counsel and vice president of external affairs for Xerox and as undersecretary of commerce for international trade under President George H. W. Bush.
Comerford scheduled a Wednesday hearing, when he will announce whether to accept Farren's request.
Riccio declined comment.
Another public defender at the courthouse, Howard Ehring, said it would be unusual for Farren to take his case to trial.
"It is out of the ordinary for attorneys to represent themselves in criminal cases. It's not that it hasn't been done, or that they can't represent themselves in criminal cases. Sometimes it is better to have an attorney that is detached from the allegations, rather then represent yourself on such serious charges," Ehring said.

L297 stepper motor controller

I have been investigating stepper motor control for the last couple of months. I've been looking at lots of different solutions and right now I think that using the l297 chip is probably the best balance of features, price and useability.
First, here is what I have found about this chip that might be useful for others interested in stepper control.....
some useful docs....
STmicroelectronics l297 notes...
STmicroelectronics l297 datasheet...
my understanding and brief summary....
The l297 can create the control signals for bipolar, unipolar and variable reluctance stepper motors.
In all cases, you can digitally select full stepping, half stepping and wave stepping modes.
The motor takes one step for each pulse sent from the arduino board. Direction is decided by taking a pin HIGH or LOW.
The l297 has another important feature. It includes two PWM chopper circuits to regulate the current in the motor windings.
what does that mean?? well, i found this page...
It's a nice and easy going explanation on stepper motors in general and it includes this bit on chopper control of steppers...
'To increase the torque at higher speeds, stepper motors are driven at several times their voltage rating. A designer might use 5 volt steppers and then run them at 12 or 14 volts. To avoid destroying the motors, the current through the windings is monitored and power is cut off when the current reaches a critical level. When it falls back down, the power is reapplied. This technique is known as "chopper drive" and it allows the motor to increase its top speed.'
So that kinda explains the functions of the chip.
I don't yet understand how to implement the chopper drive properly. Also, I have not yet tried any circuits!! but from reading and researching, I believe the following to be true....
If you don't want the chopper drive......
If you want to control a bipolar stepper, you can use the l297 with the l293.
If you want to control a unipolar stepper, you can use the l297 with the L702B or any darlington transistor array. I'm not sure if you would need a buffer.
If you do want the chopper drive......
If you want to control a bipolar stepper, you can use the l297 with the l298.
If you want to control a unipolar stepper, you can use the l297 with the ULN2075B
In all cases, you will need a few extra components to complete the circuit.
So, now I have some questions for you!
Does anybody have any experience using the chip?? or any good circuit designs for using it??
The chip has an input Vref. This is used for giving the reference voltage for controlling the Chopper circuit. Can anybody explain how to connect up this pin??
I would like to compile circuit designs using the l297 to control bipolar and unipolar steppers, with and without chopper control. I want to find the easiest possible solution for each circuit.
Please post if you already have a good solution for one of these circuits.
I will now start trying some circuits, i'll post when I get one working.
Thank YOU!
PS. maybe I made some mistakes above. Please correct me! I'm just a beginner still!

I made some stepper motor drivers with the L297 and L298 five years ago, and they still work great!
The schematic for it is on page one of the L297/298 datasheet:
Here is what I recall from building them:
- the L297 will give you three-pin control of the motor: on/off, direction and step.
- The L298 takes care of the power circuitry. I hooked some quite large steppers up to it and it never failed.. almost indestructible.
- Use a heatsink for the L298. I put the whole circuit in a Hammond 1590B box, and the box acts as a heatsink.
- Use an onboard regulator (7805) to provide nice clean power to the L297, and lots of bypass capacitors.
- I recall that while there were a lot of settings, as you mention above, they mostly weren't critical... I just put a trimpot on for Vref etc, and tuned it so that it worked well.
- Be sure to use some nice Schottky diodes on the motor leads to suppress transients, which are quite large on a good-sized stepper motor. I think OnSemi
will still send you a few dozen or so free diodes as samples, but you have to pay shipping now it seems:
good luck!
Re: L297 stepper motor controller
Jan 27, 2006, 09:00 pm
Thanks Daniel! You keep coming to my rescue
I am planning to try the schematic on the l297 datasheet. I'm glad to hear that this one worked well for you! I have a few questions about it....
1. As i am planning to control the l297 from the arduino board, can i just use 5V output from that to power the l297 or do you suggest an external power supply using the 7805??
2. In the schematic there is a .33 capacitor and 22K resistor connected to the 'osc' pin. What is their purpose??
3. I'm new to electronics. I will investigate tonight, but perhaps you can explain... what is a trimpot and how do i connect it to the vref pin?? How do I know when it is adjusted right??
4. Am i right that the l297/l298 setup is for bipolar steppers only?? If so, have you tried some other setup using the l297 with unipolar steppers??
If you can answer any of these questions, I would be very grateful! Thanks / Jonathan

hi jonathan
1. The 5v cominoug from arduino when connected to the USB are supplied from the computer. this means that if you overload it you risk damaging the computer (altough it's a very remote risk)
Whenever you plan to power anything bigger than a couple of LED use an external power supply. Anyway motors (unless tiny) should not be powered from the regulated 5V supply but should use the unregulated voltage supplied to the board (this usually floats between 7.5 and 9v)
2. Going from memory the OSC pin determines the PWM frequency used to drive the motors. if you change those values you change the pwm freq.
3. a trimpot is a potentiometre that can be adjusted with a screwdriver. connect one end of the trimpot to 5v, the other end to ground and the pin in the middle to vref. tweak until the motor runs smoothly
4. You can use it with unipolars. you'll have to hook up the motor in a different way. (look http://www.st.com/stonline/products/literature/an/1734.pdf here for details)
you can drive the 298 directly from arduino if you dont need any of the sofisticated features it has.
for simple circuits a nice L293D (D not E or B) has power drivers and diodes integrated.. you can see a circuit here http://www.potemkin.org/cms/Pid/StepperMotor

for power, you need a separate supply (in the manufacturer's schematic they specify 36V, but I uses 12V/2A), and from this suply you can just drop in a 5V regulator for the L297, an LM78L05 or a LM7805 will work fine. As Massimo says, you shouldn't load the Arduino with anything more than a few milliamps! The driver will draw such large currents that connecting it's power suply to the Arduino's risks passing the power supply transients back to the Arduino.

Thanks guys!
I'm getting closer to actually trying to build this thing! Just a few more questions.....
I'm gonna start with this circuit....
I have a few simple questions....
1. Daniel - you recommended a 12V/2A power supply. I can only find basic AC adapters at maximum 1.2A. Could you give me a link to one like you recommend??
- I just didn't look properly - Forget this stupid question!
2. The diagram suggests using the L6210 which is a '2 schottky bridge motor controller'. This seems to be discontinued. Would you recommend another IC or is it cheaper to use seperate diodes?? Daniel suggested Schottky diodes. Can you give me a part number?? I have found so many different diodes. I don't understand how to select the appropriate one. Also, maybe I'm confused, but I was thinking, can I use the l293d instead of the L6210??
3. Daniel - you wrote 'Use an onboard regulator (7805) to provide nice clean power to the L297, and lots of bypass capacitors'. Does this mean that I need to use some capacitors with the 7805 or are they included inside the 7805?? If i do need to use the 7805 with some external capacitors, how do I wire it up??
4. Very simple one... Does 'Rs1Rs2=0.5ohms' mean that both resistors should equal 0.5 Ohms or that the total resistance of Rs1 and Rs2 should equal 0.5ohms??
Thanks for helping out a slow learning electronics geek wanabe! / Jonathan

Hi Jonathon,
in terms of the power supply current, the bigger the better, but of course this all depends on the size of motor(s) you will use.
Forget the "IC Bridge" diodes... just use discrete ones. In the diagram they call them 'fast diodes' which is synonymous with Schottky diodes. Try one of these Digikey part numbers, it's not very critical: SR305DICT-ND or SR306DICT-ND.
Basically any Schottky diode with a 50V voltage rating and a 2 or 3 amp current rating will do the trick. The bigger the motor, the bigger the power supply. If you can solder SMT parts, then you can get a package with all the diodes in it, see "Schottky barrier diode arrays" in the curent Digikey catalog.
For the regulator you need the old standby circuit for the 7805... see the diagram here:
which is part of an excellent explanation of motor controls done by ITP at NYU:
Throw in a few extra 100uF capacitors on both sides of the regulator, just to be safe.
In my stepper driver, I used .47ohm power resistors for RS1 and RS2... they are there to sense the current flow int he motor windings. Two one-ohm 1/2 watt resistors in parallel for each one will do the trick.
Sounds like you aren't an electronics newbie anymore, you're doing great!

Daniel -> 'Throw in a few extra 100uF capacitors on both sides of the regulator, just to be safe.'
hmmm.... Like this ??
(which reminds me... what apps do you use for your schematics and PCBs?? I found tinyCAD and freePCB - Should I try something else?? Now back to the topic....)
What I don't understand is... what is the point of the 5V / 9V Power output pins on the Arduino board?? If i remember correctly, when arduino is powered by an external supply (ie not USB), the 9V pin actually outputs the same voltage as the supply voltage. So, if I run arduino on a 12V power supply, don't I get the clean 5V and unregulated 12V that i need?

hello jonathan
For schematic diagrams I recommend Eagle Cad. you can find it on http://www.cadsoft.de . there is a free edition that works up to 100mm x 80mm of pcb (on the schematic side there are virtually no limitations)
When I need to make beautiful schematic diagrams I use eagle, export into EPS and open it in illustrator. do a select all, change the font to a nice one and I get a print ready schematic.
BTW Arduino is designed always on Eagle.
going back to your circuit.
What you need around a 7805 is just 2 capacitors per side. 100n to clean up higher frequency noise and an electrolitic capacitor of 100uF or more that is used for compensating voltage fluctuactions.
when your motor starts there is a power surge and the voltage generally drops. the large capacitors compensate for this by releasing the "energy" they have "stored".

Thanks Massimo!
just to be sure.... like this?
Also, i'm still wondering....
what is the use of the 5V / 9V Power output pins on the Arduino board?? If i remember correctly, when arduino is powered by an external supply (ie not USB), the 9V pin actually outputs the same voltage as the supply voltage. So, if I run arduino on a 12V power supply, don't I get the clean 5V and unregulated 12V that i need?

I think Massimo is in Sweden and I am in Canada, near the pacific, so here is part two of your international answer!
In terms of the 12V motor supply and the clean 5v supply, the answer lies with the motor. When a stepper motor turns on, it draws large amounts of current into its windings. A small motor could draw 10 amps for a few milliseconds, for example. These large current draws make the supply voltage drop, unless your power supply can handle it.
Supply voltage drops are bad news for microprocessors! This is why the two supplies are always best spearated: never run any inductive load from the same supply as the microprocessor. You are asking for unpredictable trouble if you do.
Another reason for separating the supplies is to prevent noise from getting back into the microprocessor. Motors and inductors put out a large voltage spike when their fields collapse, and you don't want this to get back into the microprocessor supply, so you use a separate supply.
The general rules are:
- try not to drive anything with an arduino pin that draws more than a few milliamps- say 10ma or so.
- try not to drive large loads that source their current from the arduino's regulator, as this might interfere with the stability of the Atmega8's power supplies.
-never drive an inductive load that sources it's current from the processor power supply! Use a separate supply.
Hope this helps!
PS: the larger the filter cap on the motor side of the regulator, the better: there really isn't a limit, but in practice anything up to 470uF on the 12V side would be reasonable. You can add as much as you want.

Well, I've certainly been finding both of your advice very helpful! so i would second that motion!
I'm planning to breadboard the circuit very soon, so I will post some pictures of that, and the final schematic that I use. After this, I intend to make a circuit using the l297 and the ULN2075B to control a unipolar stepper.
Also I have a nice working circuit that uses a TTL 74194 shift counter as the transalator. I'll post some picures of that too (under a different topic). I'm interested to compile a group of circuits to control both unipolar and bipolar steppers, that offer a range of price vs functionality options.
Just for the record...

I just checked the farnell site for the l298 and it is listed as no longer stocked?
Any idea why that might be?? I'm worried that these chips are on their way to retirement!!
Is there some other setup which I should be investigating??
any advice would be nice!
Re: L297 stepper motor controller
Feb 05, 2006, 07:45 am
any advice would be nice!
It's probably not stocked anymore since Europe is going RoHS compliant, and it's not compliant.
Try this: usually a nice email to the
local sales rep
will get you three or four samples. Offer to credit them in your next show. Failing that, I believe the chip is still widely available in North America: try

text: Market Watch Dairy: More cheese, please January 29, 2013 08:51 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jerry Dryer Farm Journal's Milk Contributer Email Jerry Dryer is the editor of Dairy & Food Market Analyst, www.dairymarketanalyst.com. You can contact him at email@example.com. Increased global demand for cheese is good news for U.S. dairy farmers. With the increase of cheese consumption around the world, it seems more people than ever are saying, "Cheese, please." This is good news for U.S. dairy farmers, as more than 40% of all milk produced in the U.S. is used for cheese. Every time the cheese price moves up a penny, the Class III milk price moves up a dime. During 2011, each American, on average, consumed 33.5 lb. of cheese. The per capita consumption number has increased by 4 lb. to 5 lb. for each of the past four decades. This sales growth is the envy of everyone in the food business. Bonus Content More detail on cheese consumption Cheese Statistics While most segments of the dairy business are consolidating, the U.S. cheese business is expanding. Today, more than 300 companies and cooperatives operate 524 cheesemaking plants. That's 30 more plants than just two years ago. Last year, these plants produced about 10.7 billion pounds of cheese. That's the equivalent of nearly 107 billion pounds of milk being poured into cheese vats coast-to-coast. Equally important, that volume of milk turned into nearly $40 billion worth of cheese and whey products. Cheese moves through many channels on its way to the consumer. Reliable data is hard to come by, but my experience and analysis suggests about 35% moves through retailers and 35% reaches the consumer via a restaurant meal, give or take five percentage points on either side for both of these estimates. In 2012, export shipments accounted for slightly more than 5% of cheese production. The rest was used as an ingredient in other foods, such as frozen pizza and boxed macaroni and cheese. Only one segment, albeit a large one, is suffering losses. Processed cheese has fallen out of favor. Retail sales data show 3% to 4% sales declines month after month for the past several years. Anecdotal evidence indicates processed sales are also slipping in the restaurant channel. This cloud, however, has a silver lining. In the backyards of America, grillers are shelving processed cheese for slices of natural cheese. Last year, grocery stores sold more than 800 million pounds of sliced cheese, putting its sales right up beside those of shredded cheese. The same trend is evident in the foodservice segment. My analysis and input from others points to a significant shift away from processed American cheese in restaurants. Cheeseburgers are now adorned with Swiss, Gorgonzola or Muenster in the fastest of fast-food joints. Turning to the "fast casual" side of the restaurant business (think Panera Bread), a full range of sandwich meats demands a full range of sliced, natural cheeses. Meanwhile, emerging economies around the world are welcoming McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Domino's and all manner of American-made food. I call the menus at these restaurants "cheese-friendly," for obvious reasons. Bottom line: More than 40% of the U.S. milk supply will be headed to the cheese vat for a long time to come. That's good news for all U.S. milk producers. Back to news

Eating In
Survival Gourmet
A disaster is no reason to not entertain properly
The floodwaters are rising, the earth is quaking, zombies are breaking down your back door and you have a house full of dinner guests (of the living kind). Your first instinct may be to pop open a can of Dinty Moore, but you can do better than that. The key to surviving extreme circumstances is to not give up. Do not give up hope, and do not give up your basic human need for fine foods.
Restaurant Review
Korean BBQ House
Feel the burn
It's hard to pinpoint what makes kimchi, Korea's national side dish of fermented vegetables, good. Is it the vibrant colors? The insane textures? The salty, intense taste? Whatever it may be, you'd have to go far to find a better dress for leftover rice, and flu season would be a helluva lot longer without kimchi's dual powers of vitamin C and anti-oxidant garlic. After an uneven dinner at Korean BBQ House in Nob Hill, I can say that aside from the slow burn of their remarkably good kimchi, this restaurant makes an über-cure for respiratory ailments that also doubles as a damn fine soup.

A few days ago we set upon making a four-course salad dinner for friends that we firmly insisted was to be strictly eating only: no photos, no blogging. Sometimes you just have to take a vacation, right? Well, since we're mildly OCD when it comes to sharing food and booze tricks, we found a loophole and stuck a quick liquid dessert in the freezer. The mix of sour cherry juice, vermouth, bourbon and fresh mint comprises all the ingredients for a traditional Manhattan. When dinner was over we had a popsicle tray of frozen cocktail popsicles (cocksicles!) waiting for us. The result? Tongue-numbing flavor crystals.

Delegates to the UNCTAD XIII quadrennial conference were briefed Wednesday on a soon-to-be-launched United Nations Forum on Sustainability Standards (UNFSS).
Voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) – also called "private standards" related to health, occupational safety, environmental, social or animal welfare issues — have become a critical issue in international trade and in the promotion of sustainable development strategies.
Five UN bodies (UNCTAD, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and the International Trade Centre) have come together and plan an imminent launch of the UNFSS.
The Forum will be a platform for providing information, analysis, and capacity-building assistance on these standards, with a particular focus on their potential value as tools for developing countries to achieve their sustainable development goals and boost production and exports of sustainably produced products. The Forum also will address the potential trade or development obstacles these standards may create with particular emphasis on their impact on small-scale producers and in less-developed countries.
The UNFSS is designed to encourage dialogue, exchange knowledge, and provide a forum for developing country decision-makers to engage with key target groups in the business, research and non-governmental organization (NGO) communities. Among the Forum's purposes is to address information and analytical needs so that VSS can serve as a way of implementing the specific sustainability goals of developing countries, while minimizing the costs of such standards, in particular for small-scale producers and less-developed countries.
Activities will focus on four thematic areas: "meta-governance" of private standards; overcoming weaknesses in developing countries in technical, human, institutional, and infra-structural areas related to VSS; devising supportive policies and achieving coherence between those policies; and fostering public-private dialogues and partnerships.
Private sustainability standards increasingly govern rapidly evolving global markets
(Private) voluntary sustainability standards comprise requirements that are often referred to as "credence characteristics" of a product, such as attributes that neither the trader nor the consumer can verify through direct examination of the product. Several VSS are combined with labels that are recognizable by end consumers (for example, organic or fair-trade products); some of which may lead to price premiums. Many, however, are business-to-business standards that are not visible to end consumers. An example is the GlobalGAP standard for food sold by large supermarkets.
VSS are not exclusively a developed-country phenomenon, but in light of increasingly globalized supply chains, consumers in countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development increasingly want the goods and services they purchase to meet specific health and safety requirements (as regards product characteristics), on the one hand, and environmental and social sustainability criteria on the production methods of the goods and services purchased, on the other. Governments have traditionally reacted to such forces by developing policies, regulations, and technical requirements, which, however, are mostly confined to product characteristics and difficult to enforce because of a lack of institutional or technical capacity. A voluntary, private approach is an alternative. Against this background, NGOs and private companies are taking on a new role in the development of VSS and codes of conduct on modes of production and processing, placing emphasis on their environmental, social and economic impacts. VSS are thus a driver of change.
In a number of sectors, VSS have already become market realities. VSS are most prominent — in terms of quantity, level of sophistication, and multi-dimensionality — in the food and agricultural sectors, notably for fresh produce and beverages, which can be regarded as trendsetters for other economic areas. VSS also are of importance in the sectors of textiles and clothing, footwear, toys, timber and timber products, natural cosmetics, liquid biofuels, and electrical and electronic goods. Carbon-footprint standards are emerging as a new case in point, in particular for areas and sectors where "first" and "second-best" carbon-pricing tools are impractical or politically difficult to adopt.
Although still an exception rather than the rule, VSS play an increasingly important role in South-South trade and even in matters of gaining access to national markets. Prominent cases in point are intra-Asian trade in fresh food and vegetables and the domestic fresh-food markets of Thailand and Malaysia .
Private sustainability standards are a challenge for developing countries
Generally, VSS evolve more rapidly than regulatory requirements. They are a constantly moving goalpost. Over time, they have become more stringent, prescriptive, complex, and multi-dimensional (that is, dealing with several issues). In addition, increasingly, several VSS have to be met for the effective market entry of a single product. This significantly complicates compliance and drives up testing and certification costs. As a result, VSS tend to reinforce already existing capacity weaknesses at the producer level in developing countries, such as poor physical and institutional capacity and insufficient skills, policy coherence, and public-private sector dialogue. Therefore, VSS could enhance the risk of marginalization of small-scale producers and poor countries or regions, in particular least developed countries (LDCs). What is more, developing country officials fear that VSS might undermine hard-won gains in transparency and progress achieved under the WTO Technical Barriers to Trade and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreements.
VSS are still often seen by many key policy makers in developing countries as a technicality, instead of a strategic policy issue. But VSS are best considered to be a matter of "internalization" of environmental and social costs; of the promotion of sustainable production and consumption methods (including opportunities for energy/material/resource efficiency and related cost savings); and of building sustainable competitiveness in growing and lucrative markets. Most sustainability markets have seen double-digit growth rates in recent years.
Assistance from the UNFSS
To address the existing market reality of VSS and to promote the positive developmental aspects of VSSs, while avoiding potential negative impacts on global supply chains and smallholders, it is important that VSS are scrutinized to assess that they are proportionate to the (real, not perceived) risks they claim to address; that they are scientifically based; that their burden of compliance is distributed fairly; and that a policy framework is developed to maximize the benefits of VSS while limiting their potential negative impacts. In this context, developing countries need support in setting up effective policies on VSS aimed at making VSS a means for achieving or contributing to specific sustainability goals (this is the very rational for public and donor funds being used for VSS compliance); and developing coherent national strategies that deal with VSS as a function of developmental priorities and poverty-eradication strategies. The UNFSS will provide assistance on these issues.

Hi HG, First-time emailer, longtime fan! I'm dying to know... What's a typical day of eating for you? Just wondering... Curious in Georgia
Hi Curious Georg',
I actually get asked this a LOT. I think some people assume that I only eat the products I write about. That's definitely not true. Although I do enjoy those items, my diet is mostly made up of lean protein, fresh fruit, tons of vegetables, and other stuff that isn't exactly interesting enough for "Spotted on Shelves..."! That being said, here's what a full day of meals and snacks looks like for me... In the morning, I will have an egg mug made from Egg Beaters Original, a wedge of Laughing Cow Light cheese, and whatever veggies I have on hand. I'll usually have a Fuji apple, a banana, or an orange as well. Oh, and a special drink I make every morning with FRS Low Cal Orange Concentrate, crushed ice, water, and a few ounces of Trop50 Pineapple Mango. (This drink ROCKS!) For lunch, it's often a big salad of chopped romaine lettuce and grilled chicken. I'll usually have it plain (I'm not a huge fan of dressing), but sometimes I'll spritz on some sprayable salad dressing or add a splash of balsamic vinegar. If I don't have a salad, I like to whip up a concoction of some sort with broccoli slaw and lean protein (like this one!). I almost always have a snack before or after lunch (sometimes both!). If I'm traveling, my snack choices are things like apples, almonds, jerky, bars (I love Kind and Luna Protein bars!), and VitaTops. If I'm at home or at the HG HQ, I also like to snack on light string cheese or Mini Babybel Light. (Click here for more about my favorite snacks.) Dinner is often sushi (light on the rice) or some sort of lean protein (I love fish, chicken, lean steak, etc.) with veggies. I tend to avoid the bread basket, pasta, potatoes, rich sauces, and oily stuff. I've been known to shove a fork into a dessert occasionally... Okay, a few times a week! But I try not to overdo it with restaurant desserts; one or two medium-sized bites is my limit! BTW, if you're reading this and you're new to HG, you should know that I'm not a nutritionist, and I'm not suggesting that everyone should eat like I do -- this is just what works for me!

Aussie sea hybrids
SCIENTISTS found the world's first hybrid sharks in Aussie waters.
Leading marine biology researchers have discovered 57 crossbreeds along a 2000km stretch from Queensland to New South Wales.
The predators are a cross between the common blacktip shark and Australian blacktip shark, two related but genetically distinct species.
Scientists say interbreeding between the two shark species is a sign the animals are adapting to climate change and warn that hybridisation could make the sharks stronger.
Dr Jennifer Ovenden, of the Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, said wild hybrids were usually hard to find, so detecting hybrids and their offspring was extraordinary.
"To find 57 hybrids along 2000km of coastline is unprecedented," she said.

The plea appeared on Yahoo! Japan's Q&A section. It began: "My wife won't return from Animal Crossing." The latest AC game, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, was recently released in Japan. The Animal Crossing games are hugely popular in Japan.
According to the husband, after his wife downloaded her copy of New Leaf in the middle of the night, she woke up early and started playing. "She kept playing while I made breakfast and got ready for work," the husband wrote. "She kept playing, barely replying to me, because she was in a gaming haze."
That same day, his wife kept on playing Animal Crossing and kept on ignoring her husband.
"I think because my wife loves this game, this cannot be helped, but if the situation continues, it'll be rough," the husband wrote, before asking two, somewhat adorable, questions: "When does this game end? How long does it take to clear it?"
"I want my wife to return to normal ASAP," he ended his plea.
The commenters in the Yahoo! Japan Q&A section had to break the news that, well, Animal Crossing games do not end. They. Just. Keep. Going.
Some of the replies pointed out that the wife's Animal Crossing play will probably decrease over time as she tires of the game. Others advised the husband to take up the game with his wife or make a rule about how long she can play each day. One individual even recommended that the husband get eyedrops for his wife!
These are just some of the two hundred or so replies to this question. What about you? What words of wisdom do you have for this guy?

We produce direct mailings for our customers and most mailings are documents (like bills, receipts, notifications or individual letters). Our customers expect a serious and professional performance.
At the moment we are thinking about some new designs for our company (business card, website, corporate identity, ...). I am looking for some ideas for our market presence. As 99designs is new for me I would like to start with this business card design to get a feeling if this site can be useful for some more designs for us.
I have attached
- our actual business card (businesscard_old.pdf)
- a new design idea from a friend (businesscard_new_frontside, businesscard_new_backside) as pdf and Illustrator
- our logo as BMP (MKneu.bmp)
The logo should not be changed and the red color of the "K" inside "MediaKom" is also a must. The other characters can be white or grey
You can take a look on our website, but don't be surprised, because this website is really old and as described, even this website will be new designed.

Verizon Lobbyists: That Deaf, Dumb And Blind Kid Sure Could Use An Internet Fast Lane
from the to-paraphrase-the-who dept
Three Hill sources tell Mother Jones that Verizon lobbyists have cited the needs of blind, deaf, and disabled people to try to convince congressional staffers and their bosses to get on board with the fast lane idea. But groups representing disabled Americans, including the National Association of the Deaf, the National Federation of the Blind, and the American Association of People with Disabilities are not advocating for this plan. Mark Perriello, the president and CEO of the AAPD, says that this is the "first time" he has heard "these specific talking points."The basic argument is that if true net neutrality is allowed, then somehow, magically, Verizon and others won't be able to offer priority services that are more "necessary" for these groups. Except, of course, that's not even close to true. There are plenty of great and useful online services for these different groups, most of which are built by organizations that are not Verizon and which actually rely on the fact that they don't have to double pay the big broadband providers to make sure their offerings work properly.
Even more to the point, though, this lobbying effort makes it pretty clear that, contrary to FCC boss Tom Wheeler's own claims, Verizon (and AT&T and Comcast) recognize that the current FCC proposal will, in fact, enable "fast lanes" and "slow lanes" on the internet. It's even more obvious from the fact that AT&T has flat out come out in favor of the current proposal.
Either way, lobbyists playing cynical games to rope in groups that don't want their help in support of breaking net neutrality just shows how incredibly desperate the big broadband players are getting in trying to block any real shot at net neutrality.

African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross "Into The Fire (1861-1896)" Into the Fire examines the most tumultuous and consequential period in African American history: the Civil War and the end of slavery, and Reconstruction's thrilling but tragically brief "moment in the sun." From the beginning, African Americans were agents of their own liberation, forcing the Union to confront the issue of slavery by fleeing the plantations and taking up arms to serve with honor in the United States Colored Troops. After Emancipation, African Americans sought to realize the promise of freedom-rebuilding families shattered by slavery; demanding economic, political and civil rights; even winning elected office.

Music to Your Ears
Your Name in Lights Heads West—With a name like Your Name in Lights, your options are pretty well-laid out for you: Either rise to the top of rock and roll celebrity, or face fading away into the mired bog of bitterness and unfulfilled dreams. Thankfully, it's looking more and more like the former for these Burque-based hard-core kids—especially since they've been selected to play in the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, to be held in December at the Key Club in Hollywood. YNIL will compete against four other bands, whittled down from a jaw-dropping10,000 groups that had initially entered the first round of competition. Perhaps even more incredible is the fact that YNIL has been playing together for just one year—one year! Unbelievable. For more information on the Battle, contact email@example.com.
Oscillate Wildly
The Oscillation Festival revels in electronic music from New Mexico
The Oscillation Festival, New Mexico's only local electronic music showcase, will launch into its fifth year this Friday, Nov. 18, at Downtown Albuquerque's Cell Theatre (700 First Street NW). The all-ages festival will feature roughly 12 electronic acts from the Albuquerque and Santa Fe area. Performances will be broken into conceptually exciting "vs."-style sets, where teams of musicians go head-to-head on the same stage—with the same equipment and songs—in what promoter Kent Wilhelmi calls "a demonstration of all-out audio warfare." Not only that, Oscillation sets out to capture the somewhat broad diversity of New Mexico's growing electronic music scene, from synthpop to dark ambient and noize. Confirmed acts include Autopoesis, Brian Botkiller, Diverje, Enigmatik, Leiahdorus, Noir Effect, Ohmniscience, RAM, Unnatural Element, The Wake 6, Vertigo Venus and Wurm. The Alibi recently caught up with Wilhelmi (AKA DJ Kentifyr) for a quick tour of Albuqerque's electronic happenings.

A Static Lullaby
with Haste the Day, Halifax, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Bedlight for Blue Eyes
Monday, Nov. 21, 7 p.m.; Launchpad (all-ages): Many a time, I've found myself wondering whether bands like My Chemical Romance, Midtown and New Found Glory are really that broken up about, say, not being invited to prom or knowing the girl they have a crush on is dating a jerk. Until they released Faso Latido, A Static Lullaby could have been grouped in with these overly dramatic ensembles. Their debut And Don't Forget to Breathe smacks of forced emotion and unsubstantiated rage and sorrow. With Faso, however, A Static Lullaby has learned that it isn't how loud you scream that's most important, but when and what you choose to scream about that makes all the difference in the screamo universe. Without exactly mellowing out, ASL has matured and polished themselves up to the point where they seem less like immature, pubescent pansies and more like grown adults with a knack for screaming-cum-melody. Meanwhile, Joe Brown's lyrics have come a long way; focusing less on his own broken heart and more on large-scale devastation. Also apparent on Faso is the band's increased adeptness with their instruments, from the scratchy, layered guitar on down. After opening for The Used, Killswitch Engage and Senses Fail on the "Taste of Chaos Tour," the vastly improved ASL is swinging through the Duke City to headline an all-ages show at the Launchpad. Screamo fans looking for genuine angst will not be disappointed.

The Hard Lessons
hosted by The Dirty Novels with special guests The Gracchi and The Fab Jim Phillips Show
Thursday, Nov. 17 : Winning Coffee (all-ages), $5: Detroit has done it again. Another in a long line of innovative rock purist ensembles has made a name for themselves on the national scene. In this case, The Hard Lessons take guitar-driven rock with soulful organ and sultry vocals and combine it with a "let the good times roll" mentality indicative of a band that knows the world is going to hell, but has taken enough hydrocodone to make it a non-issue. With names like Agostino Visocchi and Korin Cox, one might think that THL is composed of ultra-hip ex-MTV VJs, but their sound is not so much chic as down-to-earth and playful. THL has gained tons o' critical acclaim for their latest release, Gasoline. The album has also helped firmly place the band in the indie genre, despite having elements of soul and garage rock in their repertoire. The Hard Lessons will bring their sadistically warm and fuzzy sound to Winning Coffee on Thursday, for an all-ages show hosted by Albuquerque favorites The Dirty Novels. Rest assured, this will not be your typical, low-caliber coffee shop performance.
Show Up!
The 17th Annual Western Music Association International Awards Show and Festival
Although we live in the heart of the Wild West, cowboys that ride off into the sunset are not something often seen in the bustling metropolis of Albuquerque. The days of cattle drives, roping steers and whistling Dixie are all but a memory here. But one look up to the stars proves that spirit is still alive. We can still see them; the city has not grown too big to block them out.
Sonic Reducer
The Clientele Strange Geometry · Catfish Haven Please Come Back EP · Old 97's Alive and Wired
If someone said, "Hey Jessica, what would you tell your ideal band to sound like and what instruments would they use?" I'd say, "Organs, obviously. And f*** the bass drum, snare rules! And throw in some string arrangements and steel guitar and freaking castanets! And use tremolo wherever possible, for god's sake! Make sure you seem normal on the surface, but actually be weird British guys. And whatever you do, don't talk about your feelings in any rote way; relate them to things like trampolines and math. You'd sound a bit like Tommy James and the Shondells with a post-rock twist." Well, nobody asked me, but here's that band.

How and when is my payment?
Generally, you have the option to select different payment methods. The debit from your credit card account or bank account occure immediately after processing your order, usually on the same business day.
*Please note:
To date, there have been no reported cases among the millions of completed transactions of end consumers who have entered their PIN and TAN number into the systems of Payment Network AG and encountered a problem with the instant transfer process. As a precautionary measure, however, we must point out that, in Germany, certain banks and savings banks consider that the use of instant transfers may lead to a shift of liability in the event of misuse, due to the PIN and TAN numbers being used outside their own online banking systems. This may mean that, in the event of misuse, the bank refuses to bear the cost which must then be borne by the end consumer. As yet, no end customers have found themselves the victims of fraud. However, as a precautionary measure, Payment Network AG has taken out its own policy insuring itself against cases of liability for up to €5,000 (for which the customer would otherwise be liable, should a PIN or TAN number be misused). Customers can therefore rest assured that, in the unlikely event of loss, potential liability claims against Payment Network AG are covered. The holder of the insurance policy is Payment Network AG.

Next game features a "blizzard" Monday vs.
Jacksonville State
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Sophomore Molly Heady ignored the fact that she was playing with four fouls, taking control in overtime with back-to-back-to-back baskets that eventually lifted Tennessee Tech to a 60-57 Ohio Valley Conference victory over pesky Southeast Missouri Saturday night in Eblen Center.
It was a satisfying win for coach Sytia Messer's squad,
which held the Redhawks scoreless for nearly five minutes to finish
regulation and force the overtime period. Tech (7-13/3-3 OVC) spent
most of the game playing catch-up, and did it again in
SEMO (4-16/1-6 OVC) pulled ahead early in the extra session, 51-50, on a free throw but Heady put Tech on top, 52-51. Bianca Beck hit two free throws and Brittany Harriel made a layup to give the visitors a 55-52 lead.
Heady then scored a layup followed by a jumper to push Tech ahead, 56-55, and Briana Jordan's layup made it a 58-55 TTU lead. Brittany Darling and Jordan each made one free throw to open the lead to 60-55 with six seconds left, before Baile Roberts hit a layup at the buzzer for the final margin.
Heady led Tech with 14 points, shooting 7-for-10 from the floor. Three other Golden Eagles scored in double figures, with Darling getting 13 points and six rebounds, Tacarra Hayes adding 11 points and four assists, and Jordan finishing with 10 points and four assists.
SEMO had two players in twin figures, paced by Harriel with 12 and Courtney Shiffer with 10 points. Shiffer also had five rebounds, three assists and three steals. Roberts finished with nine points and eight rebounds while Karley Evans added eight points and seven rebounds.
After shooting 35 percent in the first half and 42 percent in the second, the Golden Eagles hit 4-for-6 in the overtime period. SEMO shot 44 percent in the opening half and 40 percent in the second, but managed just 2-for-9 in the overtime.
The Skyhawks owned a 44-35 advantage in rebounds, while Tech had the edge in turnovers, forcing 18 by SEMO and committing 11
The Redhawks used an 11-0 run to go from being down three points
(15-12) to building an eight-point lead (23-15). A driving layup by
Harris halted the run but SEMO used a 3-pointer by Evans and a
putback by Roberts to open its lead to 11 points, 28-17, with two
minutes to play.
Tech notched the final five points of the half, a jumper by Hayes and a 3-pointer by Kellie Cook with one second left on the clock, the only trey of the game for the Golden Eagles (1-for-7). The Redhawks took a 28-22 lead into halftime.
Tech opened the second half on a 10-2 run to tie the game at 32-32. The contest was tied three more times over the next few minutes before SEMO got a layup by Hariel and a 3-pointer by Bradshaw to regain a five-point edge with 6:30 to go.
Down by four heading down the stretch, the Golden Eagles held SEMO scoreless over the final 4:40 and battled back to tie it one more time. A layup by Molly Heady made it 50-50 with 1:41 to play.
Neither team was able to break the tie, with SEMO missing three shots and Tech missing its only attempt, pushing the game into overtime.
Tech closes its brief homestand with a Monday night contest
against Jacksonville State. Tipoff in Eblen Center is at 7 p.m. and
gates will open at 6 p.m.
Monday's game will feature a blizzard from Tech's fans following the first basket of the game by the Golden Eagles. For tickets or information, please visit or call the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center at (931) 372-3940.

Review: The Women Who Came in the Mayflower
This book was of immediate interest to me as I am descended from Mayflower passengers Stephen Hopkins and his second wife, Elizabeth (my ninth great grandmother), and from passenger Francis Cooke and his wife Hester Mahieu (she arrived on a later ship). I am not an expert on the Mayflower and its passengers, but acknowledge the fact that this is part of my heritage (along with several million other Americans living today). My connection to Hopkins and Cooke via the Landon family is documented in Joy Deal Lehmann's book Landon family history: Descendants of Samuel and Margaret Landon of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, and descendants of Daniel and Ann Landon of Greenwood, Nebraska, 1727-1987.
The Women Who Came in the Mayflower is a quick read, just 56 pages in printed form. It tells little of the actual ocean voyage, but focuses more on the early years in Plymouth. In the first winter and spring, death and illness spread to the point there was only a handful of people to care for the sick and bury the dead. Of the 29 women who came in the Mayflower, 15 died during the first winter and spring. My ancestor, Elizabeth Hopkins, was described as one of the women of "strong physique and dauntless heart" and who "sustained to great old age."
Even with the hardships, Marble states that when the Mayflower was to return to England in April, people were offered free passage to return. No one accepted the offer.
Plymouth had a dwindling population and as more pilgrims arrived on subsequent ships, new families were formed out of necessity, with marriages occurring not long after the death of a spouse. Children had to be raised and the family unit was a necessity.
Marble debunks the image of the pilgrim women in the long gray gowns with the "dainty white collars and cuffs, with stiff caps and dark capes." In reality, she writes, they wore whatever was available. It was not until a few years later that nicer clothing became part of their wardrobe. And their clothing was awash with color, not just grey and black, she writes.
This little book is liberally footnoted. In the Kindle format, the footnotes appear right in the text, which is a bit distracting. It is far from being a comprehensive history of either the Mayflower women or of Plymouth. But it's interesting enough (it takes less than an hour to read). And the price is right: free.

Yay!! I am now an official blog follower. Next step blog writer. I love women's history as it was one of my areas of specialization in colllege. I am afraid the one Plymouth female ancestor I have was known to be rather notorious. A great subject for a future blog. You will just have to keep guessing until I reveal her.ReplyDelete
Susan - you'll have to make sure your blog is announced on geneabloggers! I look forward to reading about your notorious ancester.ReplyDelete
Loved this post! I'm the Captain of the NH Society, and we had Governor General Judy Swan at our May luncheon to speak on this very topic. It was our scholarship award lunch, and she had all the teens in the audience captivated. There are many books on the subject, but its nice to hear about a free one!ReplyDelete

Location and General Characteristics
Howe neighborhood, on Minneapolis' southeast side, is bound on the north by 34th Street, on the east by West River Parkway, on the south by 40 th Street and on the west by Hiawatha Avenue. Howe's east side ends with the Mississippi River, and some of the neighborhood is in the Mississippi River valley. The neighborhood, like its elementary school, is named in honor of Julia Ward Howe, the author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." She was born in 1819. Most of the neighborhood is made up of residential homes. Many of the homes near the river have been upgraded substantially. More modest homes farther west are being renovated on a block-by-block basis.
Down West River Parkway, along the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway parkway, the neighborhood meets the Mississippi River. Above the river, the Winchell Trail was an ancient Dakota path.
