The K'uun Coffee Bar in Decorah recently opened its doors, so readers can now grab a cup of brew right here in Decorah!
By Kristine Kopperud Jepsen • Photos by Aaron Zauner
There's nothing like that first warm-sweet-nutty sip of coffee in the morning. At our house – maybe yours too? – it practically constitutes a food group. Coffee brings order, wakefulness, and even, yes, a certain assurance that we're right with the world – especially on dark winter days like these.
We're not alone in this dependence, say Honduran natives Fernando and Barbara Vaquero, and they're betting their combined 25 years in food and agricultural engineering on it. In 2012, they founded K'uun Coffee, a micro-roastery based out of their home in Calmar, Iowa. Their mission? To reveal the soul of Coffea Arabica and the memorable flavor and aroma that makes it so indispensable.
More than 2 billion cups of coffee are poured every day over the world, and the beans that make it happen change hands at a pace second only to crude oil among commodities traded on the global market. As Fernando, the roast master, explains coffee's origin, his animated eyes leap from topic to topic as his hands sweep points along, like phrases in an orchestral score.
Barbara, who wears most other hats in the business while also caring for their two daughters, ages 10 and two, interjects with subtle but telling clarifications. This is, after all, the third business they've built together, all while one of them – sometimes both – is employed full-time elsewhere. In this case, Fernando works as Assistant Plant Manager for Swiss Valley in Luana, Iowa.
Barbara apologizes for the split-seconds, really, that it takes her to translate phrasing from her native Spanish language; but she needn't have to. Her words are as clear as her passion for the roast. "We just wanted people to really taste the coffee – not the over-processed version of it that is so common," she says.
The craft of custom coffee roasting is a part of their heritage – having grown up, literally, in coffee production in rural Honduras. Unfortunately, the more displaced the coffee drinker is from coffee's origins – predominantly Mexico, Central and South America, Africa and Asia – the more misunderstood the process, Fernando says.
"People don't know what they're drinking, or how it can taste if it's crafted right." Ever had a dark, dark roast that scraped the buds from your tongue? he asks. "That's what failed roasting tastes like, and it's been giving 'dark' roasts a bad reputation for years." His other favorite myth? That lighter roasts contain less caffeine. "The roasting process intensifies the nuanced flavors of the bean," he says, "but it also extracts the caffeine." In other words, that 'blonde' roast really is more of a bombshell.
At K'uun, they roast to order – to order! – and deliver the freshest coffee available, making batches as small as one pound or as large as 20, and hand-delivering them within a week. This prevents the oils that surface after roasting from oxidizing and getting stale or rancid. They specialize in helping customers hone in on the flavor and feel they most enjoy in their coffee, then creating it from their current inventory of beans.
"I really enjoy it from a food science point of view," Fernando says. And no wonder. Growing up, his family produced oil palm, coffee, and livestock. By trade, he became an industrial engineer, fascinated by how things work, and, more specifically, how to help farmers in developing countries build profitable enterprise and trade relationships.
That's where his interests overlapped with Barbara's. They met when she applied for an agribusiness position – like him – at the Department of Agriculture in Honduras. Fresh off a degree program in agricultural economics at the University of Illinois, Barbara was among many applicants leading a peer discussion as part of the job interview. "Fernando almost killed my presentation, asking question after question after question," Barbara says with a laugh. "I thought, 'Who is this guy? And what does he need to know all this for?' But, that's how he gets from the start of something to a solution: You ask a lot of questions. He's still the same man today."
Together, the Vaqueros moved their interests north, settling first in New Mexico, where Barbara worked as a health inspector for the State, and Fernando in plant management for Leprino Foods, the dairy conglomerate that produces cheese for many pizza companies.
With their older daughter, Barbara Cecilia, in the mix, they started their first business together: A donut shop, Daylight Donuts, they built from scratch. Needing to pair their fresh-baked pastries with the best coffee around, Fernando turned his attention to coffee roasting, creating a blend that met the New Mexican culture's requirements for a light but bold roast.
In 2011, they sold the shop and moved to Calmar for Fernando's position at Swiss Valley, bringing their commitment to really good, affordable coffee with them. Today they source the majority of their single-origin beans through a Fair Trade certified broker in Minneapolis that represents Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Peru, Chile, Colombia, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, and more. Knowing how U.S. customs work, they've also established a direct-trade relationship with a grower in Cameroon. Plus there's Barbara's favorite coffee – their Peruvian decaf – decaffeinated by a natural washing method using pure water, not chemicals.
Barbara delivers the finished product, most often to Decorah's The Perfect Edge, a local pick-up point where they recently opened The K'uun Coffee Bar. They also sell through Oneota Community Food Co-op, their (newly relaunched) website, www.kuuncoffee.com ($11/lb), and in bulk, as they do for the dining services at Luther College and other business around Northeast Iowa.

"Coffee is unbelievably complex – it's true! – followed by cigars, wine, beer and cheese," Fernando says, offering a taste of the different 'notes' of beans from each of the coffee-producing regions, ranging from chocolate to earthy to citrusy to floral. Each is affected by the growing location's altitude, the latitudinal climate, the composition of the soils that nourish the trees, and that growing season's particular weather.
But it's in the roasting that all that potential comes to full bloom – or goes up in acrid smoke. There's the physical heating of the beans – at K'uun, that's in state-of-the-art Ambex roasters – and then there's the seasoned intuition to sense – in the aroma and sound and feel of the beans as they heat – when a particular batch has reached its potential.
"Roasting is the perfect release of what's already in the bean," Fernando explains. "I can't 'put' flavors into it – it's my job to bring its natural complexity out, and there's no 'second chance.'"
Their incorporated name, Bean Masters, Inc, leaves room for another native of Central and South America: Cacao. But with the addition of their younger daughter, Isabella, now two years old, the Vaqueros are intent on growing their cottage business as sanely as possible, enjoying the way roasting, distribution, and marketing offer teachable moments and routines for their young family – without over-committing their time.
"You get back what you put into it," Barbara says. "We come from a culture that's very social, made up of very small, close communities. You have to be honest with people, make them a good, fair product, and take the time to share it. It's the right thing to do."
Having won some of their start-up funding in 2012 through Winneshiek County Development Inc, K'uun Coffee is also intent on giving back to the community through a fund-raising initiative called "Growing Together." The program helps organizations such as The Family School of Religion (CFSR) of Calmar achieve fund-raising goals. K'uun also partners with Luther College, designating five percent of total coffee sales on campus to a scholarship fund for students. In October 2013, they presented the first installment – more than $900.
That fusion of culture and enterprise is, in fact, the origin of their business name. "'K'uun' means gold in Mayan, the foundation of our ancestry in Honduras," Barbara explains, "and agricultural products are the currency of our region's culture. So we combined them –'gold' and 'coffee.'"
Disclaimer: While the heaven of great coffee brewing is a welcome start to Kristine Jepsen's midwinter work routine, she isn't usually the first one to the coffee pot in the morning. She's more of an early afternoon devotee, which perhaps explains why her most creative hours are in mid-evening!
How to Order Custom-Roasted Coffee
Intimidated by having to pinpoint the winning characteristics of your favorite cup of coffee? Don't be. The Vaqueros love the opportunity to connect with customers and share both their knowledge of the roasting process and the unique personalities of the beans they have on hand. Just call them (563-562-9033) and ask! Are you looking for a caffeine kick? (This might mean you're after a light or medium roast.) Complex, full body? (Perhaps a medium or dark roast, using beans of the origin best suited to produce desired flavors.) Earthy? (Asian.) Chocolate? (Central America.) Citrus or floral? (African.)
"There's no single 'perfect' answer – it's what you like," Fernando says with a grin.

And that doesnt even address how local medical boards in many metro areas effectively serve as gatekeepers for new doctors being able to enter the local market given how referrals are used to punish or reward those new doctors based on how they conduct their own billing and referral practices.
Overall, that oligarchic control over physician services contributes substantially to doctors in the US earning on average far more than doctors in other major developed countries.
But, yeah. Go ahead and blame the downstream participants in this thoroughly rigged healthcare system.
18 weeks, y'all.The maximum waiting time for non-urgent consultant-led treatments is 18 weeks from the day your appointment is booked through the NHS e-Referral Service, or when the hospital or service receives your referral letter.
Wanna see a specialist? If you book it today, you'll see them in April 2020.
Tight healthcare system. I can get into a specialist this week -- sometimes even same day -- if I call right now. Same deal with tests.
The US system needs reform, but LOL at the UK's NHS being held up as an example we should emulate.
Her (successful) attack on Kamala Harris was a backdoor favor to Bernie, and indeed knocked out one of his major opponents.
She would actually be a great VP pick for him, and there's a good chance that's where he'll go, but the problem is that I just don't see him getting the nomination.
However, this is NOT the reason doctors in the US earn more than their other first-world counterparts. Also, as nightmarefish pointed out, many doctors start out heavily in debt, and can't get their careers started until they're around 30 years old. They also spend a tremendous amount of time and effort in residency for very little pay -- something also overlooked and which is both unfair to young doctors AND dangerous for patients.
The reason the US doctors earn more is because of the antiquated, opaque, and piecemeal billing system which allows the same test/exam/procedure to be billed several different ways, and for the patient to have no visibility into what services he's buying (or their cost) until it's too late.
Lobbying allows artificially high Medicare rates to be set for certain tests and procedures, which then affects private insurance rates, which doctors then pick up on and look to steer you toward those tests and procedures. Then the loophole is eventually closed, and another one pops up, and it's an endless game of whack-a-mole.
I'm not blaming the people "downstream". I'm blaming lobbyists, politiicans, and healthcare providers.
Want a good example of this? The nuclear stress test is a somewhat harmful and often-ordered test ordered by cardiologists, simply because it's far more lucrative than its non-radioactive counterpart. This vast difference in compensation was a result of corrupt lobbying. In turn, many unethical cardiologists will tell patients they need a nuclear stress test, even when they don't really need it at all.
My mom was even an attempted victim of this scam. Her cardiologist asked her to take one of these, and she was suspicious. She then spoke up and said, "My son is a top cardiologist at Stanford. If you don't mind, I'm going to ask him for his opinion, as well." The doctor seemed nervous, and then later on in the day, he personally called her and said that he had been thinking about it, and decided she only needed the non-nuclear version. He then offered to schedule the test "any time, even today, just tell me when", and went into full asskiss mode. Basically the guy was in a panic because he knew my brother would tell her that she was being scammed, and he didn't want his reputation ruined. Indeed, when she told my brother about it, he said that a nuclear stress test was ridiculous given her circumstances.
That's Medicare lobbying at work. Lobbyists get the nuclear stress test reimbursement rate set artificially high, the insurance companies are then pressured to follow suit, and then doctors go out of their way to make sure their patients get that test, even if unnecessary.
This isn't capitalism. It's corruption. And it will get worse under Medicare For All.
Corruption is baked in with capitalism
its not an anti-war stance, its an anti-intelligence stance. shes donald trump with tits and youre balls deep in her because you finally found a republican you dont have to be embarrassed to support.
blaming the cia for taking part in the cold war, neoconservative adventurism, and otherwise implementing policies dictated by sitting presidents exploitive, alarming, and nefarious.
fuck off my block with your cult of tulsi feelings.
"Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness." - Alejandro Jodorowsky
"America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers." -- William S. Burroughs
Yet, how do you think that the health care industry is able to lobby Medicare to set high rates for certain medical testing??? They primarily use market prices of the few doctors who perform those procedures, which is artificially inflated by the medical community controlling the supply of doctors who are trained to perform/supervise those procedures.
And who controls how much Congress subsidizes med schools for prospective new doctors? The AMA with the same lobbying power it brings to bear on Medicare.
Really, Druff. You seem to be very selective in who you identify as the bad actors in this system. Somehow its the amorphous Medicare, when the primary agents of the questionable job Medicare does are the professionals who organize and lobby to get extremely favorable treatment by the government.
i can now get rich on Hillary, Booker or Tulsi to win the Dem nom.

Case Studies
Chapel End Road, Houghton Conquest
Development Appraisal & Financial Modelling
Site Specific S106/Affordable Housing Economic Viability Appraisals
AspinallVerdi have been appointed by Central Bedfordshire Council to sit as independent advisors on an EVA Panel in which we are commissioned to undertake appraisals of EVA's submitted by Applicants.
As part of this, AspinallVerdi undertook an independent EVA to determine whether the scheme at Land off Chapel End Road proposing the development of 16 serviced plots for self-build and custom build homes can meet affordable housing requirements. In this case, the Council determined that an off-site affordable housing contribution would be appropriate given the limited number of units coming forward. The Applicant argued that they could not afford to provide a contribution of £744,000, but they can afford a payment of £250,944.
Services Provided
Based on the nuances of the scheme, AspinallVerdi provided the following services:
- An independent review of the Viability Statement associated with the proposed scheme and raised a series of clarification questions with the Applicant;
- Undertook a review of the existing planning policy and liaised with the Council to clarify the correct approach to assessing the affordable housing provision;
- A review of the residential property market in Houghton Conquest taking account of the unit types proposed as part of the scheme in order to inform the sales values adopted I our appraisals;
- Benchmarked development costs setting out where we agreed and disagreed with the Applicant; Undertook a series of development appraisals to show the level of off-site contribution that the scheme can afford.
Based on our assumptions of costs and values, the outcome of our assessment was that the scheme can afford to make an off-site contribution of £290,000 or £18,150 per plot.Download PDF

Eat, drink and be merry this holiday season, but to avoid a Santa belly, keep an eye on the calorie count.
Seasonal goodies make it easy to overindulge during the feasting that occurs during the holidays.
And that means a pileup of calories can take the waistline by surprise, said University of Alberta registered dietitian Sabina Valentine.
"The problem with this time of year is there are many more indulgences available, and those extras can really increase the calorie count," Valentine said.
For example, a couple of shortbread cookies can add up to 250 calories or a piece of mince pie can set you back 500 calories.
Yuletide stress can also layer on extra pounds, added Valentine.
"It's a tough time of year. It's all too easy to placate yourself by eating all these yummy foods and drinks because they numb the stress, but it's not a good way to deal with it over the longer term. The next day, you wake up and remember all the things you still have to do."
Instead of eating those feelings, throw a dash of exercise into the mix, Valentine suggested.
"It's hard to find the time to exercise, but combine it with your daily routine. Park farther from the shopping mall, jog or bike to the grocery store, or plan a Christmas party around an outdoor activity like tobogganing or skating. Staying active is a good stress reliever."
It's also smart to have a plan at the table, she advised.
"Try to pick and choose your extra calories—do you want gravy or cranberry sauce? Or if you want both, just have a tablespoon of each. Set a limit on how much you're going to have. And practise the 80/20 rule—eat sensibly 80 per cent of the time and indulge in goodies the other 20 per cent."
There are also ways to lower the calorie count on favourite holiday foods by keeping these tips in mind.
Roast turkey and ham
The centrepiece of many holiday meals, even a few slices of these meats can pack a punch, with three ounces of white turkey meat weighing in at 125 calories, ham at 140 calories and dark meat at 147 calories. Anyone with high blood pressure may want to avoid ham, which is high in sodium, and if turkey is on the menu, cut the fat content by removing the skin.
The silky finishing touch to a mound of mashed potatoes, gravy can be up to 170 calories per cup, so avoid using the meat drippings and instead use the brown bits from the bottom of the pan to add flavour. Use low-sodium broth and thicken it by adding pureed carrots instead of flour.
Stuffing, potatoes and yams
The heavy hitters on the festive plate, these starches can be lightened up. First, said Valentine, avoid using boxed, store-bought stuffing, which contains white bread. Instead try homemade using high-fibre options like whole wheat bread, brown or wild rice or quinoa, flavoured with nuts, dried fruit or diced veggies. "Fibre helps us feel full, and we don't absorb as many calories."
Instead of softening mashed potatoes with fatty cream cheese, sour cream, cream or butter, reach for buttermilk or milk. Yams, the spud's bright orange cousins, are a slightly healthier option, rich in fibre and the antioxidant beta carotene. Keep the calorie count low by skipping or using just a bit of brown sugar or butter for extra taste.
Vegetable casseroles
Done right, these are the most guilt-free dishes on the table. One cup of turnips or green beans has just 30 calories, for instance.
"They fill you up and provide lots of nutrients. What matters is how you cook it," Valentine said. Traditionally made with canned soups and lots of gooey cheese, casseroles can be lightened up with sodium-free chicken broth, wild or brown rice, brown bread crumbs and low-fat cheddar cheese.
Cranberry sauce
A holiday classic that really isn't eaten any other time of the year, this bright, tart jewel is hard to pass up. If you're buying it, get the canned unsweetened version, and if homemade is on the menu, add just enough sugar to make the sour berries edible. And since one cup is 300 to 400 calories, "Have a tablespoon or two, but don't go crazy."
The holidays aren't as sweet without that annual high-calorie blizzard of pie, gingerbread, shortbread cookies, fruitcake, plum pudding and boxed chocolates.
"None of them are going to be super-healthy, but moderation is the key to enjoying them," Valentine said. That means limiting your intake of goodies like mince pie, which averages 500 calories per piece, to every few days—not every day. Or have a half-slice of your favourite treat. Home bakers can experiment (Valentine advises doing a trial bake first) with applesauce instead of butter or oil, reduced sugar, and substituting whole wheat flour for white.
Party food and drink
It's not a party without nibblies like cheese and crackers or deep-fried delicacies. But as a host or a guest bringing a platter, it's easy to have lighter options, like whole-grain crackers. "And try to use other foods that are better like fruit and veggie platters, fresh spring rolls.

Cosmetech Clinics lead the way in medical aesthetics, specialising in non-surgical cosmetic facial procedures, including Botox. Our range of anti-ageing procedures include the latest in facial aesthetic techniques as well as the more traditional and popular anti-wrinkle and rejuvenation procedures, such as Botox injections and dermal filler treatments at our exclusive clinics in London and Chelsea.
Wrinkles, though inevitable, needn't be permanent. There are a number of professional skin treatments designed to address fine lines and wrinkles, even helping to prevent them. These include anti-ageing injectable treatments designed to strip back ageing skin and encourage collagen production, other treatments can also help such as laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion and skin peels.
Our highly trained professional skin care consultants can help you fight the signs of ageing, providing treatments to help reverse the effects of ageing and sun damage by reducing lines, wrinkles, volume loss, acne scarring, issues with hyper-pigmentation and other skin complaints. All with the objective of giving you smoother, more youthful, healthier skin.
We deploy the most up-to-date techniques and the latest skin treatments for collagen stimulation, skin cell rejuvenation, skin replenishment and problems with excessive sweating.
Botox Overview – What is Botox used for?
Botox injections are used for both cosmetic and non-cosmetic conditions. Most commonly Botox is used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. The muscle-paralysing injections are popular as a cosmetic treatment but, due to its nerve-blocking effects, Botox can also be used to treat medical conditions, including headaches and migraines, excessive sweating, teeth grinding, neck spasms and an overactive bladder
How long does Botox last?
Botox injections usually begin working one to three days after treatment. Depending on the problem being treated, the effect may last three months or longer. To maintain the effect, you'll need regular follow-up injections.
Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can't contract. That makes the wrinkles relax and soften. Botoxanti-aging treatments are most often used on forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines. Typically, the effects of Botox last for up to three to four months. However, if you train your facial muscles to contract less, the period of time for each treatment may be extended longer than three or four months

Headaches and Migraines
If you experience frequent migraines, Botox injections may help reduce headache frequency. While the reasons why Botox helps people who suffer with migraines are not fully understood it is likely that it relaxes the muscles around the head and, thereby, reducing blood pressure within the brain. Botox may also play a role in reducing the nerves' ability to send pain signals during a migraine.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Teeth Grinding is the unconscious grinding and clenching of the teeth that mostly takes place while we are asleep. It affects around one in four adults, with symptoms that can include:
Botox for bruxism is injected into the masseter muscle just below the cheekbone and the frontalis. This weakens the muscles to reduce clenching of the teeth and grinding which can result in pain and headaches. The treatment relaxes the muscle to stop the involuntary movements. Treatments for teeth grinding focus mainly on preventing dental damage. New studies have shown that using Botox for bruxism could effectively stop grinding in the first place.
Before you have Botox injections you should be evaluated by your dentist and doctor as well as a maxillofacial specialist, a surgeon who specializes in the teeth, jaws neck and head.
After this consultation, you should be clear on your diagnosis and better informed to choose your treatment. Your dentist may recommend trying other measures first. If you tend to grid during the night a mouth guard is recommended.
Excessive Sweating
Botox injections for sweating under the armpits. Botox injections block the nerve signals responsible for sweating, stopping the sweat glands from producing too much sweat. Follow-up treatments are typically needed in four to six months. However, some patients can go longer between treatments.
Overactive Bladder
Botox injections can also help reduce urinary incontinence caused by an overactive bladder. Patients with the condition have a sudden, strong feeling of needing to pass urine and sometimes urine leakage (incontinence) associated with urgency. Usually, patients need to pass urine frequently. Botox injections are effective in 70% of patients, meaning that their urgency and incontinence are either significantly better or cured.
The procedure is not a treatment for stress urinary incontinence (leakage of urine when you exercise, sneeze or strain).
Bell's Palsy
Botox is one of the most effective treatments for patients with Bell's palsy or partial facial paralysis. Over activity of some facial muscles may occur following facial nerve palsy. This can lead to unwanted movements in parts of the face. For example, the eye may close when chewing and smiling or spontaneous facial twitching can occur. Botox injections applied to the affected area temporarily paralyses the underlying muscles and stops the unwanted movement.
Botox injections are relatively safe. Though minor side effects can occur and include:
Who performs the treatment?
Botox treatments should be administered by an experienced, highly trained practitioner, in a clean and hygienic medical environment. It's important that injections be placed precisely in order to avoid side effects. Botox therapy can be risky if it's administered incorrectly. Cosmetech's consultant surgeons have a background in head, neck and face reconstructive surgery, plastic surgery and maxillofacial surgery.
What happens during a Botox Consultation?
Your consultation for Botox treatment will be with a highly trained medical professional who is experienced in administering injectables. In order to ensure we achieve the results you want, we will discuss with you your skin concerns and advise on what treatment will work best for you. At our no obligation consultations we aim to help you understand the treatment, its effects and how it will work to prevent and improve your fine lines.

Haunted El Paso: Patterson House
[Note: The home is private property. Please do not trespass or bother the homeowners.]
The disappearance of Margaret and William Patterson has been an enigma that has given rise to much speculation since March 1957 when the couple was reported missing under suspicious circumstances. According to a post on the International Center for Unidentified and Missing Person website:
The house was found in disarray, with dishes unwashed, underwear and a pair of Mrs. Patterson's stockings on a bed, and other indications the Pattersons did not know they were leaving for a long time. Tommy, the yellow-and-white cat that was Mrs. Patterson's most precious possession, also was left behind. Their automobiles were left at their house. There was no sign of a struggle.
Accounts of what happened to them have ranged from they were kidnapped, to they left everything behind to start a new life elsewhere, to one or both were killed and their bodies buried somewhere on the grounds, although no evidence of it has ever been found.
You can read a more thorough account of their disappearance and the many theories that abound here.
Local legend has it their spirits still occupy their old house in Kern. One believer is frequent Mike and Tricia Mornings guest and paranormal expert Henry Flores, who shared audio from an investigation he and conducted some years ago. Below are clips he provided that he believes sound like the distressed cries of a woman. Is it Margaret meeting her end? We report, you decide!

On Monday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," journalist Chadwick Moore discussed his article "I'm a gay New Yorker — and I'm coming out as a conservative," and stated that he discovered a level of "Paranoia, a mean-spiritedness and an aversion to understanding, an aversion to communicating with people who don't agree with you" on the left, which he said is "really damaging to journalism, for one. Journalists are terrified of these people."
Moore began by joking "I left my scarlet letter at home."
He added that after he wrote a straightforward piece on Breitbart Editor Milo Yiannopoulos he saw "Paranoia, a mean-spiritedness, and an aversion to understanding, an aversion to communicating with people who don't agree with you" among people on the left. Moore continued, "I thought after the election they would have sat down and had a come-to-Jesus moment. And that hasn't happened at all."
Moore further stated that he didn't know what caused this intolerance and paranoia, but that it might be that people are locked into social media and "friendship bubbles," which have created "this reinforcing disease of hearing your opinions spouted back at you constantly, and just uncontrollable paranoia. It's really sad, and it's really damaging to journalism, for one. Journalists are terrified of these people." Moore did clarify that he didn't think such intolerance was behavior demonstrated by the majority of people, or even the majority of people on the left."
Moore concluded that such close-mindedness is "death for gay people. Adding "I've always said that gay people are natural libertarians. … [O]ne thing that we've always wanted was to be left alone by the government, and by our neighbors, essentially. And now the right's become — or the left's become completely puritanical and it's very off-putting."

Well, that depends on how time works in the universe of that people, and if it is similar or different to time in our universe.
However, here is something to consider: a location called a singularity exists at the center of a black hole, where the forces involved become infinite, and space and time come to an end. If you were to fall into such a black hole (and somehow not be torn apart by the tidal forces), you would reach the singularity in a finite period of time, at which point time itself would, literally, end.
The Big Bang was a singularity, just of the opposite type, with space, time, matter, and energy coming OUT of it instead of falling in. Relativity implies that a singularity like the Big Bang could not directly be observed in the same way that the singularity of a black hole could not directly be observed, event horizon notwithstanding: you would notice time speeding up for objects coming out of a singularity like the Big Bang, instead of time slowing down for something falling into a black hole.

We've added a little bit of palm oil to keep the peanut oil from separating so that there is no need to stir. Crunch Time is ideal for lovers of all things crunchy. Try it spread on toast or grab a spoon and eat it straight from the jar!

We love peanut butter and find this brand and the Crunch Time version to be the best we've ever found. It's just so good!! Placing another order now!!
Shipping was high over the holidays. No discounts unless you purchased $49 or more. Enjoyed the peanut butter, but will not order again.
We have been fans of Peanut Butter & Co for many years! While we still had our kids at home we'd get a variety such as Smooth Operator and Bees Knees along with our fav Crunch Time. Now that they have left the roost and have kids of their own, we can barely keep our "Crunch" in the house! You can often find us eating right out of the jar or spreading it on apples or dipping bananas. Our local market where I purchased seems to have stopped carrying it! Undaunted, I just ordered and received a 6 pack of my Crunch!

When does open data become closed?

Open data sites have been popping up in governments across the globe to promote transparency and better public services. The benefits of open data for the government stretch far. However, the debate is ever evolving. Proponents argue that facts cannot have a copyright and therefore should be accessible by all, including researchers attempting to accelerate groundbreaking research in medical, environmental, and other fields. On the other hand, skeptics wonder where the line should be drawn? When does open government data become a liability or threat to the nation?
Govdelivery recently acquired NuCivic, a company that lends a helping hand to governments and non-profit organizations that are utilizing open data to better engage with the public. This seems silly to someone that has grown up during the Internet revolution. Have we not already been able to access any and all information by just "googling" it? Apparently not. This is the very reason innovators at NuCivic are pushing for wider public knowledge on open data. The public should understand what open data is and how it is necessary to enhance public service by the government. But what information should not be open? Will closed data need to be better identified as well?
One of the biggest issues inherent for all government systems is grey area. Nothing can be black and white, which leads to conflict over where lines should be drawn. At this point, open government data is instrumental for advancements in technology, medicine, and the environment. NuCivic CEO, Andrew Hoppin worked hard to bring open data to New York State while the CIO of NY State Senate. He is determined to further expand open data to generate optimism, accountability, and trust among the government and citizens. However, it is likely that the debate over open vs. closed data will become more apparent in the near future.
What do you think the future holds for public open data in government? Where should the line be drawn between open and closed data, if any line at all? Voice your opinions below!

Shannon, I think this is an incredibly important topic.
On a state and local level, a state's laws tend to draw the line as to what is public, and therefore potentially open, versus what is not public. However, as you point out, just because something public doesn't necessarily mean it should be open – potentially. It's hard to say. Some standards need to exist. Likewise the federal government has laws regarding what is public versus classified or limited due to security reasons (or other reasons).
Perhaps the biggest issue here is in who is defining the line, the process for defining it, and the need for that discussion to be far more open that it currently is. Here in Ohio, a state senator, because of his position of being in charge of a certain responsibility, was allowed to change rules related to the gathering of garage pass entry and exit data (it won't be collected in the future – here's one article about it http://ohiopolitics.blog.daytondailynews.com/2015/01/08/widener-orders-garage-passes-that-would-limit-public-accountability/).
That seems like a move away from open and transparent government, but the more intriguing part is that he was allowed to make that decision without any public engagement at all beyond the media finding out about it. So there's the question of what the definitions are and where the line is, and then there's the issue of who is making those distinctions.
As you suggest, this is going to be an ongoing topic!

Shannon KennedyParticipant
Thanks Jill for the further insight!
I totally agree that who is drawing the line is an important question. One of the biggest points of open data is transparency. So if we don't know who is making the decisions and their reasoning behind it, doesn't that lose transparency and accountability?
So many questions! Only time will tell….

Daniel Hugh-Kelly:
"I'm Five Percent Away
From Being Legally Blind"
Daytime TV Magazine, July 1978
by Jason Bonderoff
Article Provided By Wanda
A doctor once told me that Im five percent away from being legally blind, says Daniel Hugh-Kelly, who recently took over the Frank Ryan role on Ryan's Hope.
Because of his vision problem, Daniel always wears glasses off-camera. When hes on-camera, he removes them and feels his way around as best he can. He doesnt own contact lenses, he says, because up until now he wasnt able to afford them. Hopefully his new role on Ryan's Hope will change all that. Meanwhile, Daniel has found a temporary solution. When everyone else in the cast is upstairs having lunch," he explains, I go on the set and memorize where all the furniture is.
Daniel, whos six feet tall with curly dark blond hair and blue eyes, was born and raised in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Hes the son of a policeman and the first and only actor in a family of five children. Giving a brief rundown on all his siblings, he says, My older sister is married and living in Detroit. My older brother is a corporate lawyer in New Haven, Connecticut. My younger sister is a nurse in Florida, and my youngest sister still lives at home with my folks.
Daniel was first drawn to the theater as a student. After earning a bachelor of fine arts degree from St. Vincent College in Pennsylvania, he toured with the National Players, one of the oldest theater troupes of America, where he played Hotspur in Shakespeares Henry IV. Normally, you need sword and armour to play the part, but in Daniels case, medical insurance would have been far more practical.
For one thing, he had a lot of trouble seeing the other actors on stage.
As Hotspur, I had this big dueling scene, he recalls, and I wound up risking life and limb doing it. The duel was supposed to take place on a misty field and we used a fog machine to create the right effect on stage. But the stupid machine never worked right. Sometimes it didnt make enough fog, and sometimes it blew so much steam on stage that I couldnt see a blessed thing without my glasses on.
The actor who played Prince Hal, my battle opponent, was supposed to stab me in the side, Id fall down, make this long speech and die. But a lot of times, when hed stab me, hed miss! Once, he stabbed me in the throat and it was so painful! I couldnt get the words out to say my death speech.
But the worst was the time he stabbed me in the groin. Then I wanted to die - for real!
After suffering all these outrageous slings and arrows playing Shakespeare, Daniel moved on to the Wayside Theater in Virginia where he earned $15 a week as an apprentice. Then, he did graduate work on scholarship at Catholic University, and in 1975 was recruited by the famed Washington D.C. Arena Stage company, where he appeared in Long Day's Journey Into Night and An Enemy of the People. And less than two years later, he was in New York doing Miss Margarida's Way with Estelle Parsons.
He came to Ryan's Hope in a rather roundabout way. My agent sent me to ABC to try out for a role on General Hospital. I wasnt right for the part but one of the ABC executives, Joe Emmerich, thought I might make a good Frank Ryan.
Yes, he had some jitters taking over the role from Andrew Robinson. Hes a fine actor. I know Ive got some pretty big shoes to fill, Daniel says. But on his first day of taping, Claire Labine and Paul Mayer, the shows creators, sent him a good-luck bottle of champagne.
Off-screen, Daniel is devoted to his longtime steady girl, Kathryn Ruscio, whos not in show business. Hes also devoted to his favorite sport, fishing, and warm weather finds him with his jeans rolled up, casting a line off the Jersey Shore. In fact, hes such an aficionado that last summer he practically put himself in hock to buy a brand-new rod and reel. I nearly bankrupted my Master Charge, he confides with a boyish smile.
He considers himself a pretty good fisherman, but admits that Kathryn sometimes has a lot more luck than he does. One day I sat on a rock for three hours, he groans, and couldnt catch a darn thing. I tried every trick I knew, but nothing would bite. Then, Kathryn strolled nonchalantly by and - bling! - three seconds later, she caught something!
Well, you know what they say: unlucky at fishing; lucky at love. Or something like that.

Many sides. Many sides.
August 16, 2017 1 Comment
Love this from Margaret Sullivan on Trump's "False equivalency presidency."
He's the false-equivalency president.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, the national news media's misguided sense of fairness helped equate the serious flaws of Hillary Clinton with the disqualifying evils of Donald Trump.
"But her emails . . ." goes the ironic line that aptly summarizes too much of the media's coverage of the candidates. In short: Clinton's misuse of a private email server was inflated to keep up with Trump's racism, sexism and unbalanced narcissism — all in the name of seeming evenhanded.
In a devastating post-election report, Harvard University's Shorenstein Center concluded that media treatment was rife with false equivalency: "On topics relating to the candidates' fitness for office, Clinton and Trump's coverage was virtually identical in terms of its negative tone."
That was a factor — one of many — that helped to put Trump in the Oval Office.
Elected with the help of false equivalency, Trump is now creating some of his own…
With the issue of false equivalency front and center once again, a profound question arises for journalists: What does true fairness look like in covering this president?
We're starting to see some answers…
On CNN, Jake Tapper's commentary was blunt: "To anybody out there [thinking]: 'I thought that the Klan and neo-Nazis and white supremacists, I thought there was no debate about this among civilized people?' There isn't a debate about it."
And a Washington Post analysis by Philip Bump dispassionately observed that Trump had doubled down on what he originally said: "He's sympathetic to the goals of the men who marched Saturday night carrying Confederate and Nazi flags — and even to the 'peaceful' torchlight protest on Friday in which marchers chanted anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans."…
"The whole doctrine of objectivity in journalism has become part of the [media's] problem," Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at New York University, said this week in a talk at the Chautauqua Institution in Western New York. He believes that journalists must state their biases up front and not pretend to be magically free of the beliefs or assumptions that everyone has…
In dealing with the false-equivalency president they helped to get elected, the news media may have learned something.
The best way to be fair is not to be falsely evenhanded, giving equal weight to unequal sides. It's to push for the truth, and tell it both accurately and powerfully.
Yep. Of course, in this case, Trump made it so easy. Not many people want to do "both sides!" when one side is Neo-Nazis. It's a greater challenge for the media to resist false equivalency in the less easy cases.

It really looked nice on the model, however found it to be on the large side Will have to return.
Good fit
I bought in the sales, if I'd pain full price i would of returned. Its not got any shaping. Would be really good if it had some elastine for stretch & shape.
This is a fun top. It's long enough to almost wear as a dress, but really cute with a tight pair of black or white capris.
Well done LTS for a sleeveless tunic! It fits perfect, great length and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. More colours needed!!!
Versatile tunic for most seasons.
Bought in the sale, blk in S and tropical in XS. Not for wide but good for narrow people ie shoulders etc. Found it a flattering style on me and will be great with my leggings or over a swim suit when running to the pool. It does not look good in a too big size so really hope it won't shrink! I sent M back. Its not too deep in the armpits either so doesn't show my bra which i prefer. I didn't like it in relaxed fit but only in relatively tight fit. No pockets (yet). Bought in sale so ok value
So cute as a cover up at the beach and with white pants.
I was disappointed that this was too tight under the underarms.
The material used is very very thin. Easy to tear. Poor sizing. Miss stores where you can try on items. Fit of different items is not consistent with sizing. Last time will order online clothing at LTS. Sending back seems such a hassle. Miss quality items that Tall Girl use to offer.
I love tunics, but so many are long sleeve. I was excited to find this very nice one for this summer.
Quality material.
Love this addition to my wardrobe, looks lovely on.
Love this addition to my wardrobe, looks lovely on.
Very boxy, cheap fabric. Cheaper to modify then to send back.
Bought this in the sale, and it's great with jeans (a bit too short to wear on its own at my age!). The material was stiffer than I thought it would be, I thought it would be soft, but still quite nice on.
Simple light tunic for the warmer seasons. I am 14-16 and I bought a M which was a great fit.
Lovely easy to wear top, great over a pair of black pants, shorts...it's going to get a lot of wear this summer!
Nice casual tunic. Nice material and fit. Bonus because I got it on sale. I wouldn't pay full price for it though.
Beautiful cool fabric, great fit, pattern and feel - just perfect for the sudden extreme hot weather that arrived in Western Australia last weekend. Didn't looked crumpled or saggy like linen often does after wearing, very pleased with this buy..
Love the cut, fit , fabric quality and feel of this lovely sleeveless cotton tunic. The print pops nicely and is well distributed, providing nicely balanced color/print coverage over the white background.
I need to exchange for a smaller size
This a a gorgeous tunic, nice fabric not to heavy and striking colours. I had to return the large for the xlarge as I found it a bit too clingy but look fab in the larger size
Bought this for my daughter, she loves it great fit . Comfortable easy wear style, with or without full length or crop leggings, cardies and jackets. Versatile.
I really wanted this tunic to fit and it has not disappointed. As a shorter LTS customer it is long enough to wear on holiday as a dress but also looks great with leggings/jeans/tights/skinnies/flares. Washes and irons beautifully. Great value as I bought when on offer.
Nice top. Up to date pattern. Covers rear end👍🏽
Lovely pattern, looks great with 3/4 black leggings, washes well. Medium was a good fit for me 14/16 UK. Could be worn as a beach dress too.
nice tunic but didn't suit me
Love this, size small came up very big on me but reordered in XS which was perfect.
This top is a fantastic fit and really good quality. I love the length. I wish their were some brighter colours to choice from.
This tunic is made out of thin fabric that looks like a beach cover up more than a dressed up tunic . If you want a light weight top to throw on for a very casual look, this is it.
I love everything about this tunic. The fabric feels lovely and looks good as it hardly creases . The fit and cut is perfect and looks good with skinny jeans, leggings or shorts. Smart or casual, roll on the sunshine.

It's the fourth time that Sean Paul has been nominated for the prestigious honor as previous albums like The Trinity (2006) and Imperial Blaze (2010)have also been selected by The Academy.
Sean Paul previously tasted success at the 2004 Grammys when his multi-platinum CD,Dutty Rock was named Best Reggae Album. Should the highly-acclaimed artiste prevail once again in two months, he'll become the sixth act to capture the accolade.
Like Sean Paul, a number of Reggae veterans will be vying for a second success at the Grammy Awards. Once such crooner,Jimmy Cliff seeks to taste success for the first time since 1986 (Cliff Hanger) as his latest project, The Rebirth is also a finalist in theBest Reggae Album category. Cliff's album has been praised by many industry insiders given its authentic, Roots Reggae sound.
Toots and the Maytals also secured a nomination for their Reggae Got Soul: Unplugged on Strawberry Hill album. The group, who captured the Best Reggae Album in 2005 for True Love is experiencing their third contention for a Grammy as they were also nominated for Light Your Light in 2008.
Prominent beat makers, Sly & Robbie are back on the Grammy scene as the and the Jam Masters' commemorative album to Jamaica's 50th independence celebrations, New Legend – Jamaica 50th Edition earned a nod.
Meanwhile, former Bob Marley & The Wailers guitarist, Al Anderson and his Original Wailersband are also Grammy nominees for their effort, Miracle, which was release in April.
These five nominees emerged from a pool of 54 that were selected for a Grammy nominations shortlist last month. That draft included albums such as Reggae Music Again by Busy Signal,Mental Maintenance by Konshens, Krazy Love by Da'Ville, The System by Romain Virgoand Pon Di Gaza Mi Sey by incarcerated Dancehall superstar, Vybz Kartel.

OTTAWA—Sailors in the Canadian navy will be banned from consuming alcohol while warships are at sea, the fallout from episodes of misconduct earlier this year.
"Most misconduct unfortunately involves the misuse of alcohol," Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, head of the Royal Canadian Navy, told reporters Friday.
"Anytime our ships are at sea, there will not be access to alcohol," Norman said in a teleconference call.
Norman conceded that some in the fleet won't be happy with the new rules but added, "it's not a popularity issue."
New booze restrictions, which take effect immediately, were among the recommendations stemming from an internal inquiry into misconduct by sailors in recent months.
The inquiry was launched after the HMCS Whitehorse was ordered back to Canada in July after three separate incidents involving crew members while it was docked in San Diego.
Norman personally ordered the ship back to its port in British Columbia and suggested that the alleged misbehaviour of the sailors was not an isolated incident for the navy.
On Friday, Norman released the findings of the inquiry that was led by Commodore Craig Banes, commander of the Atlantic fleet.
It recommends a code of conduct for the navy to make clear what is expected of its sailors and a communications strategy to boost awareness among military personnel.
"The RCN needs to provide clearer, more exacting guidance to promote and communicate its expectations regarding personal conduct to its officers and sailors," the report said.
The review also recommended restrictions around alcohol consumption. It said the practice of sailors being allowed to serve themselves alcohol should be discontinued and questioned whether booze should be banned entirely while warships are at sea. It also suggested that when alcohol is available, the prices should be raised.
Speaking about the decision to recall the ship in July, Norman bluntly admitted that he had lost confidence in the ability of Canadian sailors to behave appropriately.
Norman said the vast majority of sailors conduct themselves appropriately but said the navy has relied "almost entirely" on informal policies.
He said it's time to address the "shortfalls" in expectations and training with formal policies.
He said he has already seen an improvement in the conduct of sailors since the HMCS Whitehorse was ordered home.

He said three separate incidents on board the ship prompted his decision to recall it. Two sailors were charged with drunkenness offences and have been disciplined, he said. The third case, which has not yet been resolved, involved a sailor being found in a female cabin.
But Norman stressed that the incidents on the Whitehorse highlighted a broader, worrisome trend of misconduct within the navy, leading to the review.

The history of remote sensing and development of different sensors for environmental and natural resources mapping and data acquisition is reviewed and reported. Application examples in urban studies, hydrological modeling such as land-cover and floodplain mapping, fractional vegetation cover and impervious surface area mapping, surface energy flux and micro-topography correlation studies is discussed. The review also discusses the use of remotely sensed-based rainfall and potential evapotranspiration for estimating crop water requirement satisfaction index and hence provides early warning information for growers. The review is not an exhaustive application of the remote sensing techniques rather a summary of some important applications in environmental studies and modeling.
