Agenda 21 is right now an important issue that is being passionately debated in many state legislatures around the country, but it's mostly been ignored by our national leaders and the press. It is being ignored because it is an insane conspiracy theory. According to the United Nations, Agenda 21 refers to a "comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment." It came about from the signing of a non-binding resolution in 1992 called "Rio Declaration on Environment and Development." It makes your standard calls for sustainable growth -- energy conservation and all that. "Principle 1: Human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature."
But to some conservatives, all that do-gooder speak is actually just a cover for something much more sinister: the creation of a new one world government. As this pamphlet puts it [PDF], "Sustainable Development documents call for the abolishment of private property and the freedom that private property supports. If individual members of our society do nothing, the continuing loss of liberty will result in increasing social confusion and discord, rising resource shortages, financial decay and a dimming future for us and our posterity.The looming battle of ideas should be recognized as a classic – and perhaps ultimate – battle between Liberty and Tyranny."
If you follow the Agenda 21 conspiracy (which can also be known as "Sustainable Development"), 20 years ago, these guys got together in Rio and put into motion a nefarious plot to enact centralized rule across the planet, quashing individual liberty, and outlawing self-rule. If it doesn't sound terrifying, it does at least sound complicated. And that's where this bizarre conspiracy theory gets truly bizarre. See, this confederacy of ruthless world leaders are not taking over the world by internationalizing finance or communications. No, you have to look much, much closer to home. See, the path to tyranny appears to run through banal local legislation. Here are just a few of examples of Agenda 21 that freedom lovers are fighting.
- In Georgia, some state lawmakers see Agenda 21 in a 1-cent state sales tax to fund build a new highway and bike lanes in metro Atlanta. "That's Agenda 21 101," said former Cobb County commission chairman Bill Bryne in an interview with Atlantic Journal-Constitution writer Jim Galloway. How can he tell? Well, take a closer look at those bike lanes. "Bicycles and pedestrian traffic as an alternative form of transportation to the automobile. That's Agenda 21."
- In North Carolina, congressional candidates want to defund a planning commission in the western part of the state because of its alleged ties to sustainability. The mayor of Charlotte, who's running for governor, tweeted his support for a resolution against Agenda 21 earlier this month, despite promoting "smart growth" in 2004. The Local Food Advisory Council has the word "sustainable" in its mission, and this week a Republican congressman is trying to have it removed so it won't "lull the public into complacency."
- The Alabama state legislature unanimously passed a bill last month forbidding any policy "originating in or traceable to Agenda 21."
In May, a reader of the Montain Democrat noticed Agenda 21 at work in the construction of a roundabout in Placerville. Roundabouts are also suspected of being the products of a sustainability agenda in El Dorado County, California.
- Last week in Tennessee, residents of Sevier County accused a group called Our Smokies, Our Future, which appears to be an activist group for standard liberal stuff like better water quality and more affordable housing, of being an agent of Agenda 21.
- In Arizona in April, Republican legislators sponsored a bill that would spike any environmental initiative funded by the government, like a $25 million project to increase energy efficiency in Phoenix.
A sharp-eyed reader of the Napa Valley Register noticed the hand of Agenda 21 in a Napa Valley city council plan to build several thousand housing units along Soscal Gateway June 9. "For those who think that their city council and Napa County supervisors control Napa's manifest destiny, think again," wrote Mark Gasster. "The extremely high-density housing required by ABAG is the direct result of the United Nations Agenda 21."
- The Times-Standard, a northern California newspaper, printed an op-ed alleging that the County General Plan was based on Agenda 21, and planners of using a mind-control technique to dupe the masses. Quoting a book called Behind the Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21, the op-ed says:
"Developed by the Rand Corporation as a Cold War mind control technique, (the Delphi technique) is used to channel a group of people to accept a point of view that is imposed on them while convincing them that it was their idea. In the 1970s and '80s, it was used to convince land owners of the merits of accepting General Plan maps... This is most often done in public meetings, called 'visioning meetings,' put on by your city or county to get your opinion on Your Town 2020 or 2035... The meetings are advertised as an opportunity for you to give your input to an exciting new plan for the redesign of your city center for the future... Delphi is used in... places where the organizers want to give the appearance that they have listened to community opinion and incorporated it into their plan."
To understand how insane the Agenda 21 conspiracy theory is, you have to look at the company it keeps. Here is a video about how fluoridated water and aspartame -- the sweetener in Diet Coke -- are part of a global conspiracy to wipe more than 5 billion people off the face of the planet.
And yet, despite being far deeper in tin-foil-hat territory that birther conspiracy theories, plenty of respectable Republican officials have embraced it. Iowa Gov. Terry Brandstad came out against Agenda 21. Newt Gingrich repeatedly talked about it during the Republican presidential primary, saying in a debate, "I would explicitly repudiate what Obama has done on Agenda 21 as the kind of interference from the United Nations." (Gingrich was also accused of backing Agenda 21.) The Republican National Committee condemned it. And it's actually affecting public policy. At the Washington Monthly, Ed Kilgore explains that the one-cent sales tax in Georgia was pushed by the Republican governor and many state Republican leaders as a way to deal with Atlanta's horrible traffic. Metro Atlanta stretches across 10 counties, so it would make sense for them to coordinate to reduce traffic jams. But lawmakers put the tax on the ballot, instead of passing a bill, and now there's a good chance it will fail, as so many local candidates are campaigning against One World Government. Because if you fear your local government being replaced by an international cabal of European bureaucrats, the first thing you should probably do is take it out on your local government.

Funding, Grants & Awards | News
The University of Florida will lead a consortium of seven institutions in a $7.5-million project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to digitize biodiversity collections.
The research is intended to help scientists understand how changes in biological diversity can affect human societies. With the grant from the NSF, the digitization project will make a number of specimens available to researchers around the world who are working on biodiversity issues.
"There are specimens that have been around for 100 to 200 years, but they are in a drawer or on a shelf somewhere, and it's hard to know where everything is and how to get the data you need," said Larry Page, director of iDigBio, based at the Florida Museum of National History on the Florida campus. "If it's online, you can touch a button and find in a second what it might have otherwise taken you a lifetime to know was there."
This is the fourth round of grants from the NSF's Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections Program, designed to make more data accessible to biodiversity researchers. This year's grants are specifically targeting the impacts of the rapid changes taking place in species diversity of North America's arthropods and mollusks, biodiversity changes in the Appalachians and the impact of invasive species in the Great Lakes.
The digitized data generated by the grants will be available to the public via iDigBio's specimen portal, which already has more than 20 million specimen records and more than 3 million media records.
The eventual uses for the specimens could range from taxonomists studying variations in populations to discover and describe species, to evolutionary biologists studying the history of the Earth, and ecologists working to understand relationships among species and ecosystems.
Along with the University of Florida, other participating institutions are Appalachian State University, the Field Museum of Natural History, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Brigham Young University, the University of Cincinnati and the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College.

Here we come
Kevin Braheny & Tim Clark
The idea to create an album entirely about rain preceded the beginning of work in Clark's studio in Phoenix, Arizona. "We knew we wanted to write music that would feel like rain without actually using recorded sounds of thunder and showers. We felt it would be more of an artistic challenge to depict these things purely musically."Read More
Inspiration from nature was lacking at first. Braheny's base in Northern California had been besieged by drought for years, and Clark's Sonoran desert home was experiencing the usual August heatwave - 115 degrees with no rain in sight. The musicians had to conjure up their fondest memories of summer thunderstorms and gentle spring showers.
"After many days composing pieces about rain," says Braheny, "on the last day I was in Phoenix it actually started raining, and in California it continued for months." "It was still pouring when I went to Kevin's studio in December to complete the music," Clark continues, "and it didn't stop until the album was finished."
The nine pieces surpass their immediate value as programmatic excursions. In the opening piece, "Sunshowers," sparkling textures, rich harmonic clouds and exhilarating melodies set the tone for a lively exploration of the many moods and settings associated with rain. Braheny's unmistakable melodic style on the Steiner EWI (electronic wind instrument) enhances the expressiveness of the music with a broad palette of tone colors, sounding at various times like a glistening flute, an underwater cello, or a saxophone from outer space.
Otherwise, it's virtually impossible to tell who's playing what as the musicians fuse their individual styles to create the luxurious slow-motion sonic splashes of "Tidepool," and the electric flashes and dynamic, rhythmic storms of "Monsoon." "Falling Like Tears" is especially striking in its juxtaposition of yearning, mournful melodies and sultry Indonesian gamelan accompaniments.
From the rainy day blues of "Rainstreet" to the carefree, south-of-the-border beats of "Green Umbrella," and the misty Irish cheer of "The Hills of Home," Braheny and Clark's maiden voyage is brimming with imaginative essays on the emotions associated with one of nature's most multi-faceted expressions. It's a pleasure to immerse yourself in this music's resounding optimism and passion. With its gorgeous melodies and rhythmic grace, Rain is sure to chase away any gray clouds on your horizon.

Dr Lako Jada Kwajok, Chairman and C-in-C of the SSDF, NOV/28/2016, SSN;
The struggle for an independent South Sudan was pioneered by the Equatorians as evidenced by the Torit Mutiny on 18 August 1955. Subsequently, the struggle took the shape of a full-blown liberation movement under the leadership of Fr Saturnino Ohure, Aggrey Jadden, Joseph Oduho, Gordon Mortat and Joseph Lagu. Then the South Sudanese were seemingly one people united around one common goal which was getting rid of the Jallaba rule.
The tribal prejudices and inclination to tribalism were kept at a low level. Tribalism was bound to disappear or remain insignificant had we kept the nationalistic approach of the Equatorian leaders.
South Sudanese nationalism was on the rise since the Torit revolt only to be hampered by Alier's administration following the Addis Ababa Peace Accord, impeded by Garang's SPLM/SPLA and totally derailed by Kiir's regime, thanks to the Jieng Council of Elders (JCE).
South Sudan would have been in a better place by now had the government put the people's business as its top priority. Instead, it pursued a policy that lacked impartiality, favouring the interests of one ethnicity (the Jieng) and pitting communities against each other.
The Juba massacre of the Nuer civilians on 15/12/2013 was a mortal blow to the South Sudanese nationalism. The Equatorians, the Chollo and the people of Western Bahr Ghazal were subjected to atrocities and heinous crimes as well. The regime has destroyed the social fabric of the country.
Now there is a great concern among the Equatorians and the international community as well that the government in Juba is preparing to commit genocide. Many human rights organisations have sounded the alarm bell and most important was the statement of Adama Dieng, the UN Special Advisor on Prevention of Genocide on the 11/11/2016. Mr Dieng confirmed that all the ingredients for genocide, do exist in Equatoria at present. He has urged the international community to move fast to avert a catastrophe.
It's clear that there is no such thing as South Sudanese nationalism at present. You will be deceiving yourself if you think the contrary. However, the SSDF believes that Equatoria is already a nation. South Sudan is not yet a nation but has got the potential to become one.
There is peaceful coexistence among the Equatorian communities despite diverse ethnicities. They have developed a unique common language (Arabi Juba) which is spoken all over Equatoria and beyond. They have a common psychological make-up or culture.
When you add to the above the fact that they come from a territory with well-defined boundaries, then the conclusion is that a nation is in existence. There is no ambiguity here, but many Equatorians seem to lack awareness of this fact just because they never gave it a thought.
There are reasons to believe that the JCE and some among the Jieng elites knew it and are working day and night to see it unravelling. It's not a coincidence that the name Equatoria has been removed and never featured in the newly created 28 states.
We have seen the attempts to avoid using the name Equatoria and the increasing tendency to address the Equatorians individually according to their respective tribes. An undeclared war is being waged against Arabi Juba to stop it from spreading all over South Sudan. These desperate acts would come to no avail.
Between the late 1950's and the second half of the 1960's, a policy of cultural and religious assimilation was adhered to by the Aboud's regime and the democratically elected governments. Some South Sudanese were coerced into changing their religion and names to Arabic names.
But as soon as the first winds of relative freedom blew over South Sudan after the Addis Ababa Peace Agreement – those South Sudanese swiftly discarded their coerced names and rapidly abandoned the adopted religion they were made to believe in. It's too obvious that going against an insurgency or an army is a lot easier than fighting a culture.
Turning the country into a big prison, bugging people's phones, torturing and eliminating perceived opponents, will only strengthen the people's resolve to topple the regime. The JCE plan is bound to fail but would, unfortunately,
come at a high cost for the country both in human lives and material.
Our vision revolves around two central points. Firstly – Equatorian nationalism does not work against South Sudanese nationalism. In fact, it facilitates and enhances the process towards that end. The presence of Equatoria as a Sovereign State within a stable South Sudan would set the ground for peaceful coexistence, more cultural interactions and the emergence of one dominant language (Arabi Juba).
In essence, Equatorian nationalism would be the Launchpad for the greater South Sudanese nationalism.
It's evident that the regime in Juba which is heavily under the influence of the JCE has its agenda for transforming the country into a Jieng State. The Dinka Development Plan (DDP) is at odds with fostering a South Sudanese nationalism.
The domination of the government by the Jieng and the operationalisation of the 28 states all point to the implementation of the DDP.
Therefore, a confederacy is the only way to salvage Equatoria and the other states as Sovereign entities and at the same time to safeguard the evolution of South Sudan into a nation where unity in diversity is upheld.
Secondly – We are not poor people but impoverished by poor policies and the absence of visionary leadership at the helm of the government. We do own vast swathes of fertile lands, numerous water resources and massive untapped mineral reserves.
South Sudan was lucky to have a reasonable number of technocrats at the time of independence as compared to the other African countries. With a visionary approach and the right policies in place, South Sudan would have leapt several steps forward in the way of development by now.
The formula for a rapid growth and improvement in services delivery to the populace encompasses three things. Prioritising the objectives, proper planning and setting up achievable targets within a specified time-frame.
The SSDF has ambitious plans for a robust economic growth and development guided by the principles of fiscal conservatism and a small government. We believe that with peace, the right policies and well-placed efforts, South Sudan could become a stable and wealthy country in the middle of Africa similar to Switzerland in the midst of Europe.
Dr Lako Jada Kwajok,
Chairman and C-in-C of the SSDF

§8512. State emergency conservation plan
(a) State emergency conservation plans
(1)(A) Not later than 45 days after the date of the publication of an energy conservation target for a State under section 8511(b) of this title, the Governor of that State shall submit to the Secretary a State emergency conservation plan designed to meet or exceed the emergency conservation target in effect for that State under section 8511(a) of this title. Such plan shall contain such information as the Secretary may reasonably require. At any time, the Governor may, with the approval of the Secretary, amend a plan established under this section.
(B) The Secretary may, for good cause shown, extend to a specific date the period for the submission of any State's plan under subparagraph (A) if the Secretary publishes in the Federal Register notice of that extension together with the reasons therefor.
(2) Each State is encouraged to submit to the Secretary a State emergency conservation plan as soon as possible after November 5, 1979, and in advance of such publication of any such target. The Secretary may tentatively approve such a plan in accordance with the provisions of this section. For the purposes of this subchapter such tentative approval shall not be construed to result in a delegation of Federal authority to administer or enforce any measure contained in a State plan.
(b) Conservation measures under State plans
(1) Each State emergency conservation plan under this section shall provide for emergency reduction in the public and private use of each energy source for which an emergency conservation target is in effect under section 8511 of this title. Such State plan shall contain adequate assurances that measures contained therein will be effectively implemented in that State. Such plan may provide for reduced use of that energy source through voluntary programs or through the application of one or more of the following measures described in such plan:
(A) measures which are authorized under the laws of that State and which will be administered and enforced by officers and employees of the State (or political subdivisions of the State) pursuant to the laws of such State (or political subdivisions); and
(B) measures-
(i) which the Governor requests, and agrees to assume, the responsibility for administration and enforcement in accordance with subsection (d);
(ii) which the attorney general of that State has found that (I) absent a delegation of authority under Federal law, the Governor lacks the authority under the laws of the State to invoke, (II) under applicable State law, the Governor and other appropriate State officers and employees are not prevented from administering and enforcing under a delegation of authority pursuant to Federal law; and (III) if implemented, would not be contrary to State law; and
(iii) which either the Secretary determines are contained in the standby Federal conservation plan established under section 8513 of this title or are approved by the Secretary, in his discretion.
(2) In the preparation of such plan (and any amendment to the plan) the Governor shall, to the maximum extent practicable, provide for consultation with representatives of affected businesses and local governments and provide an opportunity for public comment.
(3) Any State plan submitted to the Secretary under this section may permit persons affected by any measure in such plan to use alternative means of conserving at least as much energy as would be conserved by such measure. Such plan shall provide an effective procedure, as determined by the Secretary, for the approval and enforcement of such alternative means by such State or by any political subdivision of such State.
(c) Approval of State plans
(1) As soon as practicable after the date of the receipt of any State plan, but in no event later than 30 days after such date, the Secretary shall review such plan and shall approve it unless the Secretary finds-
(A) that, taken as a whole, the plan is not likely to achieve the emergency conservation target established for that State under section 8511(a) of this title for each energy source involved,
(B) that, taken as a whole, the plan is likely to impose an unreasonably disproportionate share of the burden of restrictions of energy use on any specific class of industry, business, or commercial enterprise, or any individual segment thereof,
(C) that the requirements of this subchapter regarding the plan have not been met, or
(D) that a measure described in subsection (b)(1) is-
(i) inconsistent with any otherwise applicable Federal law (including any rule or regulation under such law),
(ii) an undue burden on interstate commerce, or
(iii) a tax, tariff, or user fee not authorized by State law.
(2) Any measure contained in a State plan shall become effective in that State on the date the Secretary approves the plan under this subsection or such later date as may be prescribed in, or pursuant to, the plan.
(d) State administration and enforcement
(1) The authority to administer and enforce any measure described in subsection (b)(1)(B) which is in a State plan approved under this section is hereby delegated to the Governor of the State and the other State and local officers and employees designated by the Governor. Such authority includes the authority to institute actions on behalf of the United States for the imposition and collection of civil penalties under subsection (e).
(2) All delegation of authority under paragraph (1) with respect to any State shall be considered revoked effective upon a determination by the President that such delegation should be revoked, but only to the extent of that determination.
(3) If at any time the conditions of subsection (b)(1)(B)(ii) are no longer satisfied in any State with respect to any measure for which a delegation has been made under paragraph (1), the attorney general of that State shall transmit a written statement to that effect to the Governor of that State and to the President. Such delegation shall be considered revoked effective upon receipt by the President of such written statement and a determination by the President that such conditions are no longer satisfied, but only to the extent of that determination and consistent with such attorney general's statement.
(4) Any revocation under paragraph (2) or (3) shall not affect any action or pending proceedings, administrative or civil, not finally determined on the date of such revocation, nor any administrative or civil action or proceeding, whether or not pending, based upon any act committed or liability incurred prior to such revocation.
(e) Civil penalty
(1) Whoever violates the requirements of any measure described in subsection (b)(1)(B) of this section which is in a State plan in effect under this section shall be subject to a civil penalty of not to exceed $1,000 for each violation.
(2) Any penalty under paragraph (1) may be assessed by the court in any action brought in any appropriate United States district court or any other court of competent jurisdiction. Except to the extent provided in paragraph (3), any such penalty collected shall be deposited into the general fund of the United States Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.
(3) The Secretary may enter into an agreement with the Governor of any State under which amounts collected pursuant to this subsection may be collected and retained by the State to the extent necessary to cover costs incurred by that State in connection with the administration and enforcement of measures the authority for which is delegated under subsection (d).

If Blake Bratcher's life was a buffet line his plate would shatter from the weight. During the day Bratcher is a judicial law clerk for Honorable Judge Steve Dozier. At night he is a student at the Nashville School of Law with plans to graduate in December of this year at the top of his class. He also balances a family life with his wife, Christa. To fill in his spare time he is active with The Joseph School which is being developed in Haiti under the direction of Jim Bryson. A major fundraiser for The Joseph School is scheduled for Oct. 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the YMCA at Christ Church on Old Hickory Boulevard. To register for the 3-on-3 tournament go to http://thejosephschool.org/hoopsforhaiti/. The deadline is Oct. 4. Bratcher spent some time after law classes to talk with lipscombsports.com.
How did you get involved with The Joseph School project?
"I met Jim Bryson through First Baptist Nashville. We have become pretty good friends. He really has a heart for Haiti. He goes over there once a month.
"Jim is a former state senator and Republican candidate for governor against Phil Bredesen. Jim runs a company called 20/20 Research. Land has been acquired in Haiti and Jim is trying to build a high school for Haitian children. Haiti is lacking in secondary schools.
"The school is designed to develop future Haitian leaders. Ideally, these kids will go there with a specialized curriculum focusing on leadership (other areas of emphasis include academics, service, discipleship, language, Haitian history/culture). After they graduate they will be educated in the United States and go back to Haiti to run their country.
"Jim is a real visionary. The school is just now getting off the ground. I am glad that I am a part of it. I have not visited Haiti, but I plan on going after I take the bar exam in February."
What is "Hoops for Haiti"?
"Hoops for Haiti" is a 3-3 basketball tournament. The tournament is Oct. 12 at the YMCA at Christ Church on Old Hickory Blvd. All the proceeds go to the Joseph School.
"It is getting some speed behind it now. It is for anyone 18 years old and up. The entry fee is $120 per team and each team is guaranteed at least two games. Each player gets a T-shirt and a chance to win some prizes."
What sport did you play at Lipscomb?
"I played baseball in 2008. I transferred from St. Louis University. I was lucky enough to be on the Lipscomb baseball team that went to Athens, Ga., for the NCAA Regional."
Why did you choose Lipscomb for your final year of college baseball?
"I came to Lipscomb because of coach Jeff Forehand. I was born and raised in Nashville, When the coach at St. Louis retired I decided I wanted to go somewhere else. I made contact again with coach Forehand. He had recruited me when he was the coach at Trevecca.
"I couldn't have asked for a better scenario coming back to play for Lipscomb. Coach Forehand and I are great friends to this day. I had lunch with him a week ago."
Why did you decide to attend law school?
"I have a degree in Management and Finance from Lipscomb.
"I felt called to go to law school as my father, grandfather, great -grandfather, and two uncles did. The profession calls for zealous advocacy and service, and I want to do just that.
"I had always wanted to go to law school so I decided to give it a try. I wanted to be a sports agent. But I ended up getting an internship with a judge and I really liked the litigation side of things.
"I will graduate in December at the top of my class or No. 2. I have worked hard. I am proud of my accomplishments there."
What is your favorite sports memory of your time at Lipscomb?
"It was great to go to the NCAA Regional (Bratcher was named to the Athens All-Regional Team), but more than the regional my favorite memory is the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship game with Gardner-Webb down at Stetson.
(Editor's note: The Bisons needed a three-run 15th inning to beat Gardner-Webb 10-9 in the championship game. It was the first time in the history of the tournament that the No. 1 seed, Lipscomb, had played the No. 4 seed, Gardner-Webb, in the championship game. It is the longest game played in an Atlantic Sun Tournament.).
"The championship game really stands out. We had a bunch of transfers and older guys. During that tournament it seems like we all kind of came together. That is one of my fondest memories in sports.
"It was a great run. We had a lot of great guys. It is great to see what God has done in those guys' lives as they have branched off into other things."
Who was your favorite professor?
"One was Turney Stevens. He co-taught one of my entrepreneurship classes. He was just amazing. He mixed the practical side of the business world along with the academic side which is great. He is a real success.

I don't care if your daddy wants me to buy a car, he shouldn't be using you as a pawn. I'm gonna buy my next car based on reliablity, miles per gallon, features, etc., and not because your first grade daughter says I should.

Mini Quiche – the BEST & easiest quiche you'll ever make, in mini size. So creamy, rich, delicious with this fool-proof mini quiche recipe!!!
Mini Quiches
Mini Quiche – the BEST & easiest quiche you'll ever make, in mini size. So creamy, rich, delicious with this fool-proof mini quiche recipe!!
Quiche is French pastry crust filled with savory egg custard made with cheese, eggs, ham, meat or vegetables.
My co-worker introduced me to quiche many years ago and I have been hooked on quiche since.
Quiche is something that I can eat on a daily basis, with some salad, and preferably with a serving of French onion soup.
I simply adore the crumbly texture of the pastry crust and the rich, creamy, and utterly delicious filling.
If you eat out or buy from French bakeries, quiche can be quite big.
That's why I love mini quiches—miniature quiche filled with the same ingredients albeit a much smaller size.
The smaller package makes mini quiches a perfect party food that everyone can just pick up and savor as a finger food, anytime of the year!
Another bonus of being small, even the picky toddlers and eaters at your home can enjoy it.
It's packed with lots of high-energy ingredients, but more importantly, they are absolutely appetizing and I am sure that the kids will enjoy it as much as an adults.

Turkey Mountain
I want to try to show, by this paper, how a hunter can have an interesting and exciting day without killing game, or even getting a shot,—that is, if he is in a rattlesnake country. I will tell the story and give the incidents of the day as nearly correct as it is possible to remember; and I have told it so often, and it was so amusing to my friends, that I have no fear but that I will give the facts just about as they occurred. But in doing this my reputation for "pluck" and skill as a hunter may suffer a little.
It was some years before the war, when game of every kind could be found near almost all of our military posts in New Mexico, and at this particular time I could, from the front door of my quarters at the old post up against the bluffs at Fort Union, see at one time nearly any and every day several hundred antelope on the plain between the post and Turkey Mountain, five or six miles to the east. There were no locomotives, cars, telegraph wires, nor poles then to frighten them away or make them wild.
I had been having very bad luck in hunting, while Captain Shoemaker (military store-keeper) had been killing an antelope, and sometimes two, nearly every time he went out, which was once or twice a week. Consequently, I determined to go beyond and on the east side of Turkey Mountain for a day's hunt, and so started out one morning very early for a long day, hoping to find the game less wild than nearer the post.
Turkey Mountain runs north and south, or nearly so, and seems to have been pushed up, from below, by some gigantic force, five or six hundred feet (at the highest point) above the general level of the plain, on all sides of it. It is about twelve or fifteen miles long, and perhaps six miles across from base to base. It is very rocky and uneven, and is or was thickly wooded (generally with pine) from the northern end to within two or three miles of the southern end, where the trees disappear or never grew, and at which point there is a plainly marked crater of an extinct volcano.
My route from the post was direct to this crater, and of course to the extreme southern end of the mountain. There is a gradual ascent from the plain, from the east and west, to the rim of the crater, which is almost an exact circle, except at the southern side, where the lava seems to have broken away and poured out over the country to the banks of the Moro River, some miles away to the south.
This place was at that time a favorite spot for antelope, as the inside of the crater, after ages, perhaps had accumulated soil sufficient to make a smooth surface and produce a fine crop of sweet grass. It was from a quarter to half a mile, in a straight line, across the crater from rim to rim, and there was a gradual descent from the rim on all sides to the bottom, which was three or four hundred feet lower than the top, or rim. The topography of the country here, and in the vicinity, was favorable to the hunter, as the ridges of lava and the many boulders lying about furnished him good cover.
But, to my surprise there was not on this occasion an antelope to be seen in any direction, which at once led me to suppose that other hunters, or lurking parties of Indians, had been there before me on this particular morning, all of which had a tendency to make the hunt decidedly more interesting.
Finding no game here, I moved on to the east until I had well cleared the southern end of the mountain, and then turned almost directly north, keeping close to the edge of the timber on the left and west in order not to be forced out on the plain to the east, if there should be Indians hiding near the mountains in the timber. In this way, in case of trouble, I would have had a fighting chance of passing through the timber of Turkey Mountain to the west, and would have probably reached the post in safety.
For many miles I saw no antelope or any other living thing in the shape of man or beast. This was so remarkable for the section of country at that time, I felt certain some unusual thing had frightened the antelope away. And to make my mental eyes, as it were, grow larger, I could by looking away off to the east over the plain see very distinctly "Wagon Mound," a place on the "old Santa Fé, trail," which had become celebrated as the scene of many Indian fights with white traders bound for Santa Fé, before the Mexican War, and of course before Fort Union was ever thought of, and when "Kit Carson," "Maxwell," and "St. Vrain" were boys. So, calling to mind the written and unwritten history of this celebrated place, the stories told of men who heroically fought and died, had a tendency to give to every bush and stone an Indian.
However, I pulled myself together and rode boldly on to the north, and don't know to this day the cause of such an entire absence of game from a country where usually there was so much.
In the afternoon, when well abreast of the northern end of Turkey Mountain, but some miles to the east of it, and about fifteen miles from the post, I saw quite a large herd of antelope quietly grazing, and as the cover and wind were all in my favor, my hopes were high for game.
I approached to within sixty yards of the herd, and was well covered by a little hill or ridge, and felt almost certain that in five minutes I would have an antelope to take back to the post.
I dismounted quickly, laid my rifle on the ground, unfastened the lariat from its place just behind the saddle, took the picket-pin in my hand (the other end of the lariat was around the horse's neck), and then found a stone to drive it into the ground. After about the third stroke with the stone I felt a sharp sting on the back of my left hand, and at the same moment heard the rattle of a snake, and saw within a few inches of my hand the last half of a large and horrid-looking rattlesnake just about to disappear in a hole in the ground. His tail was in the air for a second, and his rattles seemed to wave as a flag, in triumph, as much as to say, "Ah, I have got you this time!" I had made it a rule to kill, either by shooting, or with stones or sticks, every rattlesnake I saw. But this time I thought the "boot was on the other leg."
I immediately examined my hand, and sure enough there were the two punctures, just the distance apart to correspond to the fangs of a snake. I was of course frightened almost out of my wits, and my case looked very serious indeed. I was twelve or fifteen miles from the doctor at the post, and knew that a very rapid ride would cause the blood to circulate faster and send the poison through the veins all the quicker, and, on the other hand, if I rode slow, the loss of time would bring about the same results. All these things and many more passed through my mind in the few minutes occupied in pulling the picket pin out of the ground and putting the lariat back in its place. Shooting at the antelope I don't think entered my head. I was in great doubt how best to proceed but finally acted on the rule laid down for old-fashioned whist-players, —i.e., "when in doubt play a trump." I took a drink, and a big one.
I put the flask back in the saddle-bags, picked up my rifle, and mounted at once, and in a few moments was going at a gallop towards the post, and watching all the time for the swelling to begin in my snake bitten hand, and to my consternation I thought I could see it was getting larger. I also began to feel very warm, which was to my mind evidence that the poison was doing its deadly work. I then pulled up and took the walk, and finally halted long enough to take another drink, knowing if I could get thoroughly under the influence of the brandy there would be a chance for me. This time I took "a whopper."
After this I rode quietly along for a short time, and tried to cool down, and made desperate effort to be a philosopher, and die, if I had to, like a man and a soldier. But I soon found I could not play that róle worth a cent. I did not want to be a philosopher and I did not want to die. I did not like the idea at all of being found on the prairie by my friends, swelled up like a dead toad, and black and ugly from the effect of the snake-bite.
It all of a sudden struck me that I was not feeling so very badly; in fact, I felt just at the minute very familiar and good. Thought I had felt that way on some other occasion. I knew I had never before been snake-bitten.
I succeeded, after a great effort, in not looking at my bitten hand for several minutes; but finally, feeling so much more cheerful and hopeful, I determined to peep at it again, trusting that my fears had made my case much more serious than it really was. With this feeling I slowly raised the hand (it seemed very heavy) before my face. I let it drop to my side with a feeling of horror, and realized that there was no hope! The hand appeared to be much swollen, and my whole body seemed to take on a feeling of weariness and lassitude that I thought preceded immediate death.
I laid my rifle on the saddle in front of me and then raised both hands together that I might see just how much the left one was swollen. To my amazement the right one was just as large as the left, and not only that, there seemed to be several pairs of hands; in fact, the air was full of them, and all badly snake-bitten. It suddenly occurred to me that I was very drunk, and at the same time realized that I could not be badly poisoned, or the brandy would not have taken effect so soon. Thinking the matter over for a moment, I remembered how hard it was to make a man drunk who had been bitten by a rattlesnake, while I had got very drunk without the slightest difficulty and in short order.
When it fully dawned on my benumbed brain that I was not bitten, I gave one wild, joyous whoop, and then broke out into a series of Indian yells. I leaned forward, or rather fell, on my horse's neck and began to laugh, and roared, in a drunken way, until I was almost exhausted, as the reaction from, as I supposed, almost immediate death to life on the prairies, and horseback, was almost too much happiness for my shattered nerves. However, I had to brace up and look sharp, as a big revolver belted around my waist, a heavy rifle and a frisky horse, with the load of brandy I had aboard, were just a little more than I could manage with dignity and ease.
I straightened myself in the saddle and tried to ride like a soldier; but I had many scrambles to hold on to my rifle, keep both feet in the stirrups, and remain in my seat. I was, however, too much delighted at my reprieve from death not to rejoice and have a howling good time at the unexpected and delightful termination of the snake-bite.
I very soon got into an argument with myself. I seemed to be two fellows. The sober lieutenant was saying to the lieutenant who was drunk something to this effect: "You are a pretty fellow, you are; scared to death because pieces of the stone broke off when you drove the picket-pin in the ground, struck your hand, and made the blood come, but you ought to be court-martialed for cowardice," and "I suppose you think you ought to have a brevet for this day's work. Pretty soon you will fall off your horse and lose your hair." "You go to hell—mind your business—damn Injins—whip forty—go way." And a lot more of the same kind.
My whole mind was given to my horse and rifle, and to keep from falling off. I rode slowly and carefully, as I understood how important it was for me to remain mounted, for had there been no danger from Indians there were many chances of meeting small parties of prowling Mexicans, who very probably would have thought the possession of a good rifle and revolver and a few dollars sufficient inducement to commit a murder, especially if the man was drunk and helpless, and an "American."
As the effect of the brandy began to die out a feeling of pathos crept over me. I wanted to weep, and felt religious, If I had had a friendly breast on which to lay my head, I think I could have sobbed with pleasure. But my horse would allow no fooling of that kind about his neck; consequently I was forced to "sit up," and did not enjoy myself as much as one who had suffered so greatly ought to have done.
I was, however, rapidly becoming sober, and was growing very sleepy. But, as I was now in the wagon road leading from Fort Union to Maxwell's ranch and the Arkansas River, and again on the west side of Turkey Mountain, I felt as if I was getting "out of the woods," as a few miles farther on I would reach a point from which I could see the post, although eight miles away.
Feeling more secure in the saddle, I increased the gait a little, and soon reached the top of the ridge from which I could see the post (the old one); but, strange to say, I could not see an antelope at which there was any chance of getting a shot, even had I been in a shooting condition.
A few miles farther brought me close to some ponds, within five or six miles of the post, and I discovered there was a small flock of wild geese on one of them. I thought perhaps I was near enough to my normal condition to get the better of a goose, so rode off to the right (west) of the road, dismounted (with some difficulty), and made my horse fast to some volcanic rocks; but I had not gone far towards the geese before I discovered that he seemed very much excited, and was dashing about from side to side and straining hard at the lariat. I knew there was some unusual cause for this, so turned about and watched. In a few minutes three or four men on ponies, a half-mile away to the west, showed themselves for a second and then disappeared. The surface of the ground between me and these men was rough, and although there was no timber, a party, with care, could have approached me without attracting attention under ordinary circumstances; but fortunately I looked in their direction just in time, for when the nature of the ground compelled them to show themselves again they were much nearer, and on their third appearance were still nearer, and evidently trying to get between me and my horse.
I waited for no further developments, but returned to my impatient and frightened horse as rapidly as possible. I knew the men were either Mexicans or Indians, and from their manner of riding thought they were Indians; if so, I should be on horseback, as I could then fight or run away, whichever should prove to be best.
I lost no time in unfastening my horse and putting up the lariat and making an attempt to mount. For some minutes it was only an attempt, for just as soon as I raised my foot to put it in the stirrup he would give a plunge and try to be off. I, however, gathered the reins up short and tight in the left hand, and at the same time grasped a portion of the mane with the same hand, threw my right hand (which held the rifle) and arm well over the saddle, quickly placed my left foot in the stirrup, and made a quick spring and threw my right leg over the cantle, but failed to take an upright position, as the horse gave a bound forward at the same time I made the spring to mount, which left me hanging on his side like a monkey who was trying to dodge the whip of the "ring-master" on the other side. With me hanging in this ungraceful position my horse went thundering across the plain to the east, in the direction of the road, as if Old Nick was after him, and it was a run of nearly a quarter of a mile before I got into the saddle. If I had been in a circus rig and had performed such a feat of riding on my horse's side, I would have "brought down the house."
As soon as I got well into the saddle I regained control of the horse and brought him down to a walk, and almost immediately was in the road leading to the post. Looking back, I saw the men occupying the position I had just left.
I felt entirely exhausted, broken down, and defeated at every turn, and had only strength to relieve my feelings by sighing out the expressive words, "Well, I'll be damned!" I rode slowly and sadly towards the post, which was only a mile or two away.
I had had what one might call "a full day." I had ridden over thirty miles, been bitten, and I supposed, by a rattlesnake, got drunk and sober, was at the point of death and had recovered, and all this within twelve hours of the same day.
I rode quietly to my quarters, dismounted, sent my horse to the stable, and went to bed, feeling thankful that I had a back and a comfortable place to put it.

by Mark H. Anbinder, Contributing Editor
CE Software announced that one long-standing annoyance for server administrators, incompatibility between CE's QuickMail server software and Apple's AppleShare 3.0 file server software, is a thing of the past. Apple's upcoming AppleShare 3.0.1 release purports to fix the incompatibility, and intensive testing at CE has confirmed this. CE's Director of Technical Services, Christian F. Gurney, says that, "Based on the results of these tests, QuickMail 2.5.x and AppleShare 3.0.1 are compatible when used on the same Macintosh acting as a mail and file server."
CE's test scenarios included exercising QuickMail, AppleShare's file server and AppleShare's print server by sending QuickMail messages, reading and writing files, and sending print jobs. The tests were conducted on 68030 and 68000 Macintosh systems running System 7.0.1.
Gurney also reported that the QuickMail server software is still incompatible with the file sharing feature of System 7. CE fixed this problem in an upcoming release of QuickMail. Version 2.6 is planned for release later this year.
An update to AppleShare 3.0.1 will be available to registered owners of version 3.0, though Apple has yet to announce the specific upgrade path. According to Apple's Customer Assistance Center, the new software is expected to be released this week, and TidBITS will pass on additional information when it arrives. In the meantime, please don't call Apple (and certainly not CE!) for a release date or upgrade information.

Så spennende, Maia! Er sikker på at du egner deg veldig godt i den jobben, dyktig som du er å sette sammen interiør og få det til å passe i helheten.
Her var det mange flotte detaljer! Synes gull og sort er en veldig spennende kombinasjon, selv om det ikke hadde passet inn i mitt interiør akkurat nå.
Tror jeg går for sølvbollende da de har et stort bruksområde og kan passe inn i de fleste kombinasjoner:0)
Ønsker deg en flott kveld!!! Alltid spennende å se hva du har å by på her på nettet. Stikker innom av og til selv om bloggetiden min er blitt skikkelig innskrenket i det siste med videreutdanning og det hele:0)

Taurus IN Super Bowl XLVII?
Super Bowl XLVII will be shown on Feb. 3, 2013 via CBS and tens of millions of football fans will be tuning into to the show. Last year, Madonna's occult riddled performance was the talk of the blogosphere for many months. She was adorned as a pagan goddess and danced around Sumerian winged-disked and struck poses symbolic of pagan (witch-craft) rituals.
Clearly, these are planned rituals with preconceived outcomes. Most of the world is asleep as this black magic fiesta jumps off and they freely bless this ritual with their energy. Most likely these rituals are opening gateways where more dark forces can easily manifest in our dimension.
This year Beyonce will be the featured artist of the Super Bowl Halftime show and she is no stranger to occult motifs. Many of her videos are swollen with occult symbols and she has even worn a sequence bustier featuring the Baphomet symbol. It is safe to assume this performance will be no different.
In my opinion these occult rituals are used to harvest the emotional energy of the crowd and open star-gates where dark forces can enter our world. Sounds crazy? Well, in the ancient times this was exactly the purpose of these rituals under Babylonian rule. They are now hidden as "fantasy" in horror movies.
The sign of Taurus is taken as representing the initiating impulse that starts the process of illumination. Taurus the Bull is the great Bestower of Light, who fertilizes the minds of mankind with seeds of light.
So based on the occult track record let's take a stab at the occult motif of Super Bowl 2013. The theme is going to include Taurus the Bull and the occult ceremony will coincide with the alignment of the Taurus constellation over head. Here you will see symbols and "booty shaking" to usher in the lighting of mankind's mind. The ritual will harvest all of the energy from the people in the stadium to resonate with Taurus; consequently, opening a star-gate.
What is the significance of Taurus? The gods of Atlantis' descendents were considered the Egyptian pharaohs which would make them descendents of the Fallen Angels. This is the connection to the star constellation Taurus and as you know the Golden Bull was worshiped in the Old Testament as Baal. The Bull which is the ancient Phoenician, Semitic, Baal or the Canaanite Molech of Bohemian Groove which required child sacrifice and always requires a blood sacrifice.
This star-gate appears to allow conscious energy to freely flow into our dimension, further influencing our decisions in the Earthly realms. We have clearly become a culture of compromise and tolerance for every lifestyle in total subversion of The Most High's will. The new mantra is: Who are you to judge what is right or wrong? And this is certainly true, but if you use the Bible as your moral compass it is immediately devalued as "old-school" or man wrote it.
While these occult practitioners coordinate occult activity with star-gates and channel dark conscious energy into our world, we have been conditioned to not believe there is Super-Conscious Being sitting on a throne highest above all. We have celebrated our own intellect as omnipotent and we are merely fleas on a dog's back. Year after year, occult costumes fill the Super Bowl Halftime Show airwaves and we accept this "show" as entertainment. If you were to research the ancient times you will see this is nothing more than same conflict between The Most High and Satanism.
The Ancients referred to star-gates as "Astrea Porta." They have also been referred to as the "Ring of the Gods", "Portal", "Doorway",
"Circle of Standing Water", "Stone Ring", "Gateway", "Annulus", "Ring of the Ancestors", and "Circle of Darkness."
The sad part of this equation is whenever a Nation turns their back on The Most High that Nation falls. The USA is the perfect case of serving two masters. Some still honor the Spiritual laws The Most High laid out while others have become lukewarm Believers who support every new pop-culture subversion. The irony is the occult practitioners are certainly honoring their gods in plain view while brainwashing the masses to join them!
In closing, let us see how accurate the Bull motif will be incorporated into this year's Halftime Show. Many people will probably unwittingly participate in a Taurian ritual. We can expect the Taurus constellation overhead while certain ritualistic dance moves unlock the star-gate to the hyper-emotion of the crowd. Later the rest of blogosphere will dissect this Halftime show and truth will be laid out. The question is when the people will wake up and fight back?
UPDATE – 1/30/2013 11:36 AM EST We just learned Beyonce's music video "Run the World (Girls)" does in fact flash a bull in it for one second! The bull is flashed 19 seconds into the video and not to be seen again. It has no true congruence in the video and it is subliminal at best. Because of the pageantry of the Super Bowl Halftime Show, will Beyonce ride a Golden Bull out to the field? We have no way of knowing until the show but after Lady Gaga sang "Judas is my demon" at the Second Inaugural private show for Obama, the gloves are clearly off.

Last night the presidium of the Krasno-Presenskii district soviet heard a report from the commission for improving work and living conditions.
After organizing the community of workers into brigades, the commission carried out several investigations. Enterprises which had shifted to a seven hour working day were inspected. In several of these enterprises, the investigation resulted in improvements in the services provided to pre-school children: in the Trekhgorka factory the nursery school was expanded, in the Svoboda factory and in a crystal making plant night-time classes were opened so that mothers could leave their children during their time at work, in the Nogina factory the nursery school changed to operate in three-shifts, in the Proletarskii trud factory an evening class was also established, and so on. But despite great attention devoted to the needs of pre-schoolers, the enterprises could not fully achieve the planned measures. Instead of 23,000 pre-schoolers, organized educational facilities enrolled 16,000.
Our commission devoted a great deal of attention to prostitution, according to speaker comrade Konova. The struggle against prostitution received this consideration because 70 former prostitutes who had gone through a preventive clinic received jobs in production. Others requiring medical assistance remain at the preventive clinic. We have a marked reduction in the number of prostitutes. Comrade Konova then discussed the organization of a living commune made up Komsomol members. At the insistence of the RUNI commissions, 30% of living spaces in new buildings have been designated for Komsomols living in communes.
Following the speech by comrade Konova, additional remarks evaluating the work of the district commissions were made by comrade Ignateva, who spoke for the regional commission on work and daily life: The work of the Krasno-Presenskii district commission had indisputable advantages, including the widespread investigation of the administration of bath-houses, the public provision of meals, and independent establishments. I consider that the work of the commission will lead to great results when the district soviet starts to provide better leadership of its work. What kind of tasks now stand before the commission? First of all, there needs to be broad dissemination of womens work in production. A list of professions and jobs accessible to women should be compiled. Men then need to be liberated from these jobs and transferred to jobs that are physically more difficult, while women are sent to take their places.
The district soviet confirmed that the Krasno-Presenskaia commission for improving work and daily life had conducted its work in a proper way.
The district soviet resolved to use brigades of workers to study the conditions of womens work and the possibility of their broader employment in industry; to assume control for allocating funds set aside for improving the daily life of workers; to oversee the activities of organizations working with children; to carry out in the district a conference on questions of everyday life; and finally to wage the struggle against prostitution not only along preventive lines, but also by struggling against the consumers of prostitution.

Dozens of National Religious rabbis on Wednesday signed a letter supporting the candidacy of Tsfat Chief Rabbi, Shmuel Eliyahu, to the post of chief Sephardi rabbi.
On Monday, Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein informed Rabbi Eliyahu that he would not be allowed to present his nomination, due to controversial remarks he had made in the past regarding Jewish-Arab relations. AG Weinstein said in a letter to Rabbi Eliyahu that his candidacy for chief rabbi would be "unsuitable."
This does not mean that the AG is able to prevent Rabbi Eliyahu's nomination, but the letter could be seen as a shot across the bow, signaling that, should the rabbi win the post, the AG would petition the High Court to annul the vote.
The statements in question, which have long been dubbed by Israel's anti-religious media as "racist," had to do, among other things, with whether or not Jews in Eretz Israel were permitted to sell or rent homes to gentiles. In a specific, individual, ruling—which was misquoted and taken completely out of context by the media—Rabbi Eliyahu prohibited the sale or rental of apartments to Arab students at the Tsfat college.
When interviewed this week by several outlets, it turned out that Rabbi Eliyahu's opinion has either been modified following the attacks on him, or—which I suspect—has always remained grounded in normative halacha, which offers a righteous gentile living among Jews many protections, unless he is suspected of constituting a danger.
In other words, an Arab would not be prohibited to live in Tsfat because he is "impure" racially, but because he or she, as specific individuals, are behaving in a way that can be perceived as dangerous.
While I, personally, continue to believe Rabbi Eliyahu would be a terrible choice for chief rabbi, because of his inability so far to absorb the notion what an enormous effort is required in order for a faithful Jew to communicate in positive terms with secular Israelis and with a hostile media—I can't help admiring the heartfelt support for the embattled rabbi from his peers.
The letter supporting Rabbi Eliyahu's candidacy was signed, among others, by Rabbi Avichai Ronski, Rabbi Avraham Zuckerman, Rabbi Eitan Eizman, Religious Services Deputy Minister Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan, Rabbi Eliakim Levanon, Rabbi Eliezer Waldman, Rabbi Elisha Vishlitzky, Rabbi Amnon Sugarman, Rabbi Ben Zion Elgazi, Rabbi Benny Kalmanson, Rabbi Haim Druckman, Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira, Rabbi Haggai Lundin, Rabbi Israel Rosen, Rabbi Shabtai Sabato, and Rabbi Shlomo Aviner.
The letter called on Rabbi Eliyahu to continue in the tradition of service of his late, righteous father, Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, and announce his own candidacy. The rabbis described Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu as "a scholar and a renaissance man who devotes his life to to the people of Israel, through great sacrifices, with love and a bright countenance to every person, whomever they may be."
Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, dean of Yeshivat Hesder Petah Tikva, said the AG's disqualifying of Rabbi Eliyahu "crossed some serious red lines."
Noting that he and Rabbi Eliyahu have had great disagreements on several issues, and despite the fact that the same rabbi had written "ugly, public things" about him, and even though Rabbi Cherlow absolutely disagrees with everything Rabbi Eliyahu had to say about the controversial issues on which he ruled, it was still a very grave error on the part of AG Weinstein to involve himself in the democratic process over what is distinctly a candidate's views, rather than his conduct.
Had there been any accusation of corruption against the candidate, the AG would have been well within his rights, even his duties, to disqualify him. But "using the force of the law against views that are unpopular with the powers that be" is alarming, according to Rabbi Cherlow, who went on to call on AG Weinstein to rescind his statement regarding the candidacy.

Special equipment: 3 to 4 cups apple wood chips (you can use hickory, pecan, sweet maple, or cherry, but it won't taste as sweet)
Prepping the meat: There is a skin-like membrane on the back of the ribs. The easiest way to remove it is to start in the middle of the rack and work a table knife or a screwdriver underneath the skin, going all the way across and teasing it up. Slide your forefinger in there and bring your thumb across, holding the rib down and pulling the membrane straight up. It'll peel from the middle.
Once you start cooking the ribs, you can't leave the pit or grill unattended for any more than about 20 minutes. You'll need to continually check that the temperature remains between 250 and 275 degrees F at all times in the grill. If it gets too hot, shut the top and bottom drafts to smother the fire. If some of the coals appear to be glowing red, that will cause a hot spot. Don't cook the ribs directly over the hot spot, move them to a different, cooler, part of the grill. If the temperature dips too low, move the ribs to a hot spot for a while and add some hot coals.
Sprinkle ribs liberally with Magic Dust, coating both sides. Put them in a shallow pan or on a cookie sheet and cover them with clear plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate them until you're ready to use them. I recommend letting them marinate for at least 1 hour. At the restaurant we dust the ribs up to a day in advance.
Place ribs on grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. About 10 minutes before you remove the ribs from the grill, mop them with sauce. When you take them off the grill, mop again with sauce and sprinkle some more Magic Dust on them. Serve immediately. Serves 4 very hungry people or you can cut the rack in half to serve 6 to 8 people who have a regular appetite.
Mix all ingredients and store in a tightly covered container. You'll want to keep some in a shaker next to the smoker, grill, or stove. Keeps indefinitely but won't last long.
Combine the ketchup, rice vinegar, apple juice or cider, cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, white pepper, cayenne, and bacon bits in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the apple, onion, and bell pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes or until it thickens slightly. Stir it often. Allow to cool, then pour into sterilized glass bottles. A clean glass jar that used to contain mayonnaise or juice works real well. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Variation: To make this sauce a little hotter, add more cayenne pepper to taste, approximately another 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. Be careful; a little cayenne goes a long way.
A viewer or guest of the show, who may not be a professional cook, provided this recipe. It has not been tested for home use.
