How to Make Raw YogurtFermented Foods, Raw Milk at Home, Recipes
If you've watched even one of the videos from the 100+ free video library available on this blog, you probably know that I have a microwave in my kitchen.
Do I use it for cooking or heating anything that my family consumes?
No. I haven't used a microwave to heat or cook anything in many, many years. I much prefer my small countertop convection oven which doesn't heat food unnaturally and create carcinogens like a microwave does.
Why don't I just remove the microwave from my kitchen then?
The truth is that the microwave can function as a handy airtight cupboard and proves quite useful for other tasks besides cooking and heating believe it or not.
I mentioned in one of my videos that I frequently use it for airtight, room temperature storage of freshly baked breads, cookies, and other baked goods.
It also works very well for making homemade raw yogurt.
If you don't have access to raw yogurt, then you don't know what you're missing. Pasteurized yogurt even if organic pales in comparison to the digestibility and nutrient value of raw yogurt, so if you are able to snag some raw milk from a local farm, here's how to make it into raw yogurt.
*This cool recipe idea was given to me by my friend Cynthia Calisch, Sarasota Florida Chapter Leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation.
Raw Yogurt
1/4 cup plain, whole organic, preferably grassfed yogurt from the store (this is the brand I recommend)
3 3/4 cups pastured raw cow or goat milk
Scoop 1/4 cup of the Seven Stars plain organic whole yogurt into a clean, wide mouth, glass mason jar (I like these). This is the best brand that is widely available in the United States at the healthfood store. After you've made raw yogurt one time, you can use your own raw yogurt as the starter for subsequent batches.
Warm the raw milk on the stove to between 105 – 115F. No enzymes or nutrition is lost heating to this temperature but the warmed milk enables the yogurt culture to "take" better than room temperature raw milk.
Pour about a half a cup of the warmed milk into the mason jar and mix with the store yogurt.
Pour the remaining warmed milk into the mason jar, stir and close the lid tightly.
Wrap the mason jar in a thick hand towel, secure with a rubber band and place inside your microwave closing the door. Leave the light in the microwave on to keep a bit of warmth inside.
In 24 hours, open the microwave and voila! You will have yourself a lovely quart of raw yogurt!

Is plain Fage greek yogurt okay to use. I've never made homemade yogurt before and Fage is all I have on hand.. =)
I made this and it turned out great! I found an interesting way to keep it warm without heating the milk at all. On hot days, the temperature of my attic is in the 90s, and is the perfect place to incubate milk for yogurt and clabber!
I have been making my own yogurt for months now. In my experience, the LESS yogurt culture you use, the thicker your yogurt will be. I am now using just a few teaspoons of yogurt to about a gallon of milk, and the final product can be held upside down with the lid off. It is thick, creamy, and delicious. (I am actually eating some right now.)
I have never posted a comment on a blog before, but I wanted to share that there really is a huge difference in your finished product depending on the amount of yogurt you use to culture with. I am not sure if this is allowed, but here is a link to the blog that convinced me that LESS is better:

I saw someone else mention this, but I do our yogurt in the crockpot. It is so simple to do and makes quite a bit for my brood of growing kids. I have a yogurt maker, and while it's cute and helpful to have little containers, it just hasn't been practical for 5 kids all wanting yogurt at the same time. Using the crockpot, I tend to be able to make 2-3 quarts at a time. I warm the milk up on the stove, while turning my crockpot on warm, just to get the bowl comfortable for the good bugs Then after I inoculate the milk, I take the crock out of the warmer, put it on a large towel and pour the milk into it. I put the lid on, cover the whole thing with the towel, and place it in my oven, with the light on. I leave anywhere from 8-24 hours. If I plan right, 24 is the best…tart and tangy, but easy to digest.
I'm sure if anyone said this yet (don't have time to read all the comments) but yogurt can also be incubated in a cooler. I usually do two gallons at a time and incubate in a large cooler. I fill up the empty spaces with more jars of hot water and cover it all with a large towel.
Hi Sarah
I am using my dehydrator for the incubation period. Please specify the temp for the 24hr incubation since I haven't owned a microwave in years and want to get that temp right.
Thanks a bunch, Renee
Hi Sarah, I just made raw milk yogurt and it came out stringy and gooey. The taste is great, but the texture is weird. Maybe because I used a fair amount of whey instead of yogurt? I used 4 Tablespoons per half gallon raw milk which I heated to 110d. I tried to make whey with it. The whey was not clear. Another time I left the raw milk out for over a week. Half way through I added some whey. It barely curdled. Thoughts?
I have just discovered your site and have purchased Nourishing Traditions. Have made several recipes from both sources. I love the theory and the recipes, but I am getting pretty mucousy with all the dairy. And my tongue gets very sore seems like from the fermented foods. Trying this all out, hoping it will work.
Will this recipe work with very sour milk (1-2 months sour kept in the refrigerator)?
I would like to make raw yogurt from my soured milk but do not know if it will work the same way or if I should modify the recipe.
@Anne: I'm curious also. Another site said raw sour milk can be used to make yogurt. I tried it last night using my usual recipe and I ended up with 50% clear liquid and 50% clotted chunks; it also smells spoiled. Would like to know what I'm doing wrong.
Mary Lee
I just had the same thing happen. I was thinking it was because my milk heated too quickly and also got too hot. (I was distracted by my kids and wasn't monitoring the process as closely as I should have.) Is there anything that this 50/50 mixture can be used for?
I gave up the microwave long, long ago, so I'm looking for an alternative way of making homemade yogurt. I've seen some recipes using the crock pot, but the ingredient used make me feel leery about the process, as well. Do you have any recommendations or recipes to share? Also, what about adding fruit – can this be done while making it or is adding fresh fruit to the final product before eating the best route? Thanks for your help on this subject…an all the others!

Sarah, please help me out here.
I TOTALLY get the whole anti-microwave movement and have embraced it for a few years. However I recently received this article from a trusted source, and now I'm all confused. Can you please shed some light on this subject? http://www.takepart.com/article/2013/02/26/jane-says-everything-you-know-about-microwaves-wrong?cmpid=tpfood-eml-2013-3-8-microwaves
Thanks so much!
Thanks for this post! It has helped unintimidate me to this! Two questions. 1) can I use my raw milk that's been frozen? 2) if my microwave doesn't have a light function are there alternate heat sources? Or should I let the yogurt sit longer to compensate?
Hello Sarah. I appreciate your post and thank you for useful ways to use my raw milk. What is critical to making yogurt- organic? whole milk? I found "yogormet" at a healthfood store about two hours away(…so its a drive to find the right thing) it's freeze dried, which i think would matter. So…what does matter?
LOVE YOUR POSTS! Thank you for all you do! I have raw milk that started to sour. I decided to make raw milk yogurt. I shook up the milk, heated the milk to 110 F and it separated and turned into a gooey clump like a stringy blob! HELP! What happened? Is it still good to use? What should I do? Also, I received an Excalibar Dehydrator for Christmas and would like to use it for making yogurt. Should I use the dehydrator at 110 F for 5 – 7 hours according to the instructions? Shouldn't it be for 24 hour to get the beneficial bacteria? Is it better to culture raw milk on the counter for 24hours than to use a dehydrator?
Thank you,
Laura Rose
Hi Sarah,
I made my first batch of raw yogurt this morning and am awaiting results. I did not have a thermometer to check the temperature. The milk almost came to boil and I hope i did not kill it! What do you think of the probiotic starter from a generic supermarket? Is it optimal?
My girlfriend taught me how to make almond yogurt with sprouted almonds, fresh coconut water (and flesh) and my favorite blend of powder or liquid probiotics. I'm curious. Has anyone tried making frozen yogurt from the raw milk? Does that defeat the purpose of using raw? I love tart frozen yogurt but getting it from a shop is usually not as healthy as one I imagine I could make.
My last batch of yogurt was just a bunch of curdled stuff. Is it still yogurt? Or is it clabbered milk. I made drinks and leather with it. Do I still get the benefit of yogurt when it turns out like this?
Love the microwave thing. My mic has a light on the outside bottom, so it's warm enough on the inside for incubation. Good thing- I had to dust it out to use it! Thanks for the great idea.
This is awesome! I'm going to try it this weekend.
How many times can I reuse my homemade raw yogurt as a starter for the next batch? How can I tell when the health benefits are gone?

For most up-to-date information you have to pay a quick visit the web and on web I
found this site as a best website for newest updates.
Jenni in March mentioned "pet food" as a legal term for raw milk. Yup. In our neck of the woods
we have to buy "pet food", not raw milk, or the powers that be will swoop down and destroy the operation. It's kind of like hiding from the gestapo. (sp?)
Oh my goodness I just opened my jar and it came out PEFECT!!! Thank you so much Healthyhomeeconomist!!!! I am on cloud nine! It is so easy and nutritious and DELICIOUS! I added blueberries and some organic maple syrup and it is so yummy I CANNOT stop eating it! LOL I'm seriously way too excited right now! Thanks again! ~Julie
I am trying this right now- except I don't have a microwave, so I found a warm little niche on top of my hot water heater! The milk I'm using is raw, grass fed, and milked this a.m! How perfect is that!? I can't wait to see how it turns out!!!

Will the yogurt turn out thick or watery? I just made some raw yogurt and am slightly dissapointed cause it's kind of runny.
I have found homemade yogurt is usually runnier unless you add something like dry milk powder {yuck!}. You can make it thicker by straining it through a cheesecloth or flour sack towel from your kitchen cabinet knob for a few hours. You'll be left with thicker Greek-style yogurt in the cheesecloth and whey in the bowl below. Just don't leave it too long or you'll end up with yogurt cheese!

Hey…you had me with the picture. I was going to give you hell about using the microwave. I am glad I decided to read the post before I reacted. Thanks for the great yogurt recipe.
I just tried this recipe yesterday and am now enjoying my yummy yogurt. This was by far, the easiest method I have used in making raw yogurt. Thanks, for posting this! I will definitely be using this recipe from now on. :O)
ac repair melbourne fl
wow this looks so good! I never thought of using the microwave, I am going to try this out and i will report back
I tried this and ended up with something that doesn't look much like yogurt. The jar is filled with whey, with a thick chunk of white at the bottom and floating white on top. Is that still edible?
I've done this before and the answer is YES. It's definitely edible. I strained it through a dish towel and was left with delicious Greek style yogurt.
Help! Okay, I think I confused your instructions of waiting 24 hours, and the instructions of Nourishing traditions to keep it at 100 degrees. I warmed the raw milk, and stuck it in a 100 degree oven with the starter. After about 18 hours I checked it and it started to separate and become a bit chunky, though not completely curdled. I tasted it and it's a bit sour. What have I created? Can I strain it or something?
Can you tell us more about the countertop convection ovens? When our microwave broke last year, I threw it away and breathed a sigh of relief. I got my kids switched over to other methods of reheating…. and then my husband brought home another microwave. Argh. I dare not break another microwave, er, I mean wait for this one to break without having some alternate convenient countertop appliance ready to take its place.
I'm very new to all of this so forgive my ignorance…I have access to low temp pasteurized milk but not raw…are you guys getting the "for pet consumption" milk? I'm assuming that label is "legal" so is that what I should be looking for?

It's great for disinfecting the damp kitchen sponge! 1-2 minutes all kinds of germs are killed. Makes me wonder what it does to the food. I am trying to use it less and less. Except for weekly sponge cleaning,
Sarah i hate to tell you but a microwave is not air tight. It has open vents and a exhaust fan. I have learned a lot from you, THANKS. I guess i have been heating my milk more than is needed for making yogurt, i have been heating it to 180 and then cooling to 110-100 before adding my culture, of course i don't have access to fresh whole milk at this time. But i am in the process of making my annual maple syrup and sugar, mmmmmmmmm good!
I love the title of this post! After a split-second of puzzlement, even before reading the post I figured it out. I will be trying this.
I make my raw milk yogurt absolutely the same way, but I use oven with the light on instead. I have also tried making sour cream this way. Here is what I did:
Heated up the raw cream to 115F, add a little TJ's organic yogurt, wrapped it and put in the oven with the light on. After 8 hours I checked it and nothing happened. So I thought something went wrong. I added a little kefir in there and let it stand on the counter for a day. I became thicker but was still too liquid. So I transfered it to the fridge thinking to use it in smoothies. The next day when I open the jar, I found, to my surprise, the creamiest sour cream ever. There was a liitle whey on the bottom, but the top layer taste amazing and was extrmely smooth! Not sure what worked at the end, but my next batch I am making the same way
Can anybody help me with this?
After heating to 105-115 and wrapping and stuffing into a microwave with the light on, what is the temperature at which the yogurt should stay for the 24 hour period? I have tested my microwave's light with a jar of water started at 110F with a candy thermometer in it, and it seems to level out at 75F in the morning. It's winter here (the snowy kind ) and I can't find a place warm enough in my house. Heating pad? Crock pot?

Just get the best brand of plain whole milk yogurt you can .. biodynamic yogurt from pastured cows if possible.

If yours doesn't have a switch to turn on the light inside, you can use a napkin lodged in the door channel to make the light go on (takes a few tries to get it right). My big oven with the light on doesn't rise to the right temp. for fermenting yogurt, but the otherwise unused microwave does.
We use ours for storage and for heating up neck warmers in winter. I like the idea of a moist place to let bread rise. It's time to make yogurt, and I will give this a try!

Got rid of the microwave long ago. Noticed your's but glad you clarified this cause now it makes sense.
After reading all comments above I have to conclude that most people don't read the post, or simply don't understand what they read and then jump to comment "something" just for the fun of it. Too bad!
Thanks Sarah for all your great post!

I am just getting ready to make my first batch! Thanks for the simple recipe!

awhile ago i was in the kitchen thinking about ditching the microwave and after i discussed it with my husband i went to use it (i think i was just curious to see if it was still working) and it had stopped working! buttons all worked but press start and only the light turned on! What a weird series of events ^^
Hello?! Why didn't I think of this? I have a unused microwave above my oven and I purposefully didn't start my yogurt today because I'll be using the oven tonight. My little yogurt maker is wonderful, but can't do big mason jar batches. By the way, I noticed a few times when I forgot to turn of the yogurt maker or the oven light turned off and the yogurt sat at room temp for hours before the light or maker got turned back on, the yogurt resulted in a nicer thicker consistency. Also I actually use VSL#3 unflavored probiotic as my starter and it still turns out great without heating up. I just put some in my 1/2 gallon of milk shake it up and pour into mason jars. VSL#3 is expensive, so making yogurt out of it stretches it.
Roseann Ligenza-Fisher via Facebook
We just moved recently and left our above range microwave.behind. Havent used it.in a long time. I have tried making it in my crockpot recently and it came out great. Only problem the recipe calls for the milk to be heated to around 180 first then cooled to 115 to 120. When it cools down is when to add the culture. Im thinking that maybe skipping the step of heating it to 185 might work with the crockpot? To maintain the temp I cover my crock pot with a double folded bathtowel and turn the pot on low every couple of hours for about 15 minutes.
Kristen Spencer Papageorge via Facebook
Great Idea!!!
this is an awesome idea!
but i also have a question…this is my second time making raw milk yogurt. the first time it was "chunckier" so to speak and more runny. this time it is thicker and has the consistency of store bought yogurt. which one is correct?? this time i just introduced the starter to the raw milk, two tsp in each mason jar, but didn't stir it in. (read this on someone's blog) they both taste similar, but i just want to make sure the second way is just as beneficial. do you know anything about this?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
YOu can get quite a variation in texture though in general raw milk yogurt is more drinkable style than pasteurized yogurt.
Love this idea! I also like to use it as a moist place to let breads rise in the winter. I put a bowl of water in there and heat it up for a five minutes. Then I remove it and put the bread inside and leave to rise. It stays warm and moist for a long time.

mine's a spice cabinet and the turning glass dish acts as a nice lazy suzan
That is such a cool idea, Lisa! I must mention it to my husband… our spices take up SO much shelf space in our pantry!
Thanks for that!
If you are going to use the microwave to store spices, be sure not to ever use the so-called "surface light". My mw is an above-the-stove model, and the surface lights are located sort of underneath the body of the mw and shine down onto my stovetop while I'm cooking, and can also be used as a kitchen night light. My mw is a GE and if anyone else is using one like it, those bulbs throw off a lot of heat. Mine doesn't have an interior light which I can turn on independently. If the mw oven door is open the light's on, if it's closed the light's off. But I could make yogurt with the heat that goes up into the mw from those bulbs, for sure.
Also, my mw "turntable" doesn't turn independently either. It will only turn if the oven is functioning. It's not like a lazy susan. But even if I wanted to use my mw as a spice cabinet I can't because of the heat from the surface lights, which I use quite often up here in the hinterlands where it's dark by 4:00 in the afternoon and stays dark until 7:30 a.m. Even with only one bulb going while the second bulb was burned out recently, the inside of the oven gets downright warm. Too warm to store delicate spices and herbs, which will deteriorate quickly when exposed to warm temps for any length of time.

I have tried raw milk yogurt several times and I never get it right. If you were using a dyhrator, what temp would you set it and how long to leave it? I tried my light in my microwave and mine will not come on while not on. Strange! But I do have a dyhrator. Also, I don't have that brand of yogurt in my area, what would be another choice? Any thoughts?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
I obviously did not title this post very well
Poor Sarah…. pat..pat..pat. We love you!
Great idea! I use my microwave as a baked goods cupboard too
Well I don't see how a light in a microwave is giving off any more radiation then you get from sitting in front of a computer while reading this article.
If its the light or the microwave that is bothering you there are other ways of keeping it warm. Like in a cooler wrapped up tightly with warm towels fresh from the dryer. Or put it in your oven with its light on and the door propped just ajar.
Sarah, this may sound silly but can you make yogurt from raw cream? I have made raw milk yogurt a couple times before and it seems like the top layer is so creamy and amazingly wonderful, and I thought that it might be thicker from cream rising to the top?!?! I may be way off on that one. I also noticed that raw milk yogurt seems to not spoil, or if it does it takes a lot longer then non-raw homemade yogurt.
Thanks for all your posts! Please never retire from blogging!!!
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Another friend uses a cooler .. yes this works too but the microwave with the light on with the door closed works better. Yes, the oven works well too the problem is that we use the oven where the microwave is not used and wasted space unless you get creative
I think what you would end up with instead of yogurt if you fermented straight cream with a yogurt culture would be something similar in texture and taste to creme fraiche.
You're so right .. raw milk yogurt never spoils it seems. At least I've never wasted a drop at my house.
So I have to admit – this is an attention-grabbing title.
Melissa @ Dyno-mom
How do you leave the light on in the micro with the door closed?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Mine has a "light" button on the front where you can turn on the light with the door closed.
I was thinking the same thing as Melissa. My microwave doesn't have a button to turn the light on and off, so it doesn't work for us! However, thankfully we are able to use our dehydrator for our raw milk yogurt.
It's an interesting post, thank you Sarah… I often look at my dejected microwave and wonder what I could do with him…
mine doesn't have a light either…but I am boiling a pot of water on the stove and am going to put it in a bowl in the microwave for a heat source. This is how I used to do it, but with a cooler. I love this idea of using the microwave….no big clunky cooler on my counter.
you could put the yogurt it in the oven with just the oven light on, this is how I do it and it works perfectly every time. Just be sure to put it in before bed, so a bulk of the fermenting is done while the oven is not needed,
It's a different kind of heat. It's like radiation, very unlike the heat from a fire, gas or electric stove. It does more than destroy nutrients, it changes the molecular structure even on low temps.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Oh my . Do people just read the title of the post and comment without even reading it?
All of those things you have mentioned are sources of radiation. Even visible light is radiation.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
???? The yogurt is wrapped in a towel. The light would not harm the yogurt even if the towel was not used. I really wish folks would read the post before getting critical.
Hi Sarah … Never mind… I read again and saw it said pastured not pasteurized!
I was replying to D's comment, I know Sarah doesn't use the microwave:)
Sarah, I want to stress that the person using the D for their name here, is not the D. that I usually use when I post. I have communicated with you a time or two by email and I don't know if email addresses are visible to you when people sign in to post, but I just wanted to be sure to clarify that the other D is not me.
Let me also say that I knew, the minute I read the headline, there had to be a catch because I know you don't use a microwave. You use a microwave in the same fashion as I use a dishwasher – which is to say, I use my dishwasher to store dirty dishes until I have time to wash them by hand! MY dishwasher (which, btw, is less than a year old) has been serviced four time and still gets the dishes dirtier than when I put them in. The repairmen stand here and scratch their heads but have no clue. Go figure.
No disrespect, but I have a hard time believing that if you're reheating food in a microwave on a low power level it's going to destroy significantly more nutrients than conventional heating methods. Here's a good read if you're interested: http://perfecthealthdiet.com/?p=1315
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
The microwave is not being used to reheat anything! Please read the post. It is being used to incubate the yogurt.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Apparently, many are completely not understanding the post at all. The microwave is never even turned on. It is used as an airtight incubator.
Your post is very clear, people just are not bothering to actually read the information
Apologies, thanks for the simple yogurt recipe. However, I'm going to stick to homemade kefir, because it's less messy :). Concerning the microwave, I was referring to your mention of avoiding microwaves for heating. In my opinion, if you use a microwave at a low power level (allowing food to cook more evenly) and not cook in plastic or other toxic materials, it can be considered a safe and convenient form of heating.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
No worries. I just don't want newbies getting the wrong idea that microwaves are ok to use! The title of this post is an "F" for sure.
YOU didn't read the comment you replied to! "D" was questioning your condemnation of the microwave, not suggesting that you use it to heat anything when you make yogurt.
Hi Sarah…I noticed that in the ingredients you listed Pasturized raw milk. I thought raw milk was not considered raw if it was pasturized? Was that just a typo?
"Pastured" not "pasteurized". Pastured means the cows ate grass.
Yeahhhh I was just planning to make some yogurt and I do have Seven Stars! Unfortunately, I do not have access to raw milk, but I do have low-temp pasturization milk.
I also use my microwave to incubate my yoghurt.
Do you strain it and if so do you use cheesecloth?

Its weightless, oil-free formula is designed to look completely natural on skin, providing medium coverage and leaving your face silky-smooth. The foundation contains the protective and restorative Frutta di VitaTM antioxidant complex, a brand signature ingredient.
I received this product as a sample in my birchbox. I tried it and wasn't hot on it at first but the more I wore it and put it on the more I fell in love with it. I took the top off and scooped the last remains out with a q-tip! It's probably one of the best foundations I've tried in a long time. I love how light it is and and how it goes on, not creamy or oily. I like that a lot. The reason I didn't like it at first was because it felt dry going on, but after using it that is the reason I fell in love with it!! So...now I'm buying the full size.5
This I thought was a little too light of coverage until I used it over a cc cream. This is the only brand that is the closest to my skin shade . I usually have to mix a few shades to get it it somewhat right. But this is right out of the bottle matching. I like that you can build coverage too. Love it.
I got a sample of this product and while the color wasn't quite right, I did like the amount of coverage and the feel of it on my skin. It didn't feel heavy, and didn't look like I had foundation on (aside from the color looking a little off). I would definately like to try it again in another color, and I think if I found one that worked for me I would happily add this product to my makeup bag.4

Syria's turmoil is resonating powerfully in the Druse villages of the Golan Heights, where thousands have turned out to show support for Syria's president as he faces anti-government protests. But the pro-reform wave stirs mixed feelings for the 20,000 Druse, who never stopped seeing themselves as Syrian but have grown up used to freedoms under Israeli rule. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)

AbstractThe Air Force is soliciting the development of innovative algorithms to produce 4D models of "uncooperative" objects in near real-time. This modeling would entail high-resolution 3D shape reconstruction and motion tracing of space objects from ground-based images. In response, Intelligent Optical Systems (IOS) proposes to develop a 4D reconstruction system based on an analytical photometric manifold modeling (APM) algorithm. The proposed APM technology will build on IOS's proprietary developments in the application of catastrophe theory, and will expand these efforts to image modeling. In Phase I, IOS provided proof of feasibility and developed the APM algorithm to represent space objects as photometric polynomial models. IOS also initiated development of key 3-D concepts and relationships, and demonstrated the successful reconstruction of a 3-D structure from an acquired sequence of photographs. In Phase II, IOS will demonstrate a robust prototype software that will increase the precision of 3D position reconstruction by 5 to 10 orders of magnitude over traditional 3D image modeling and processing methods, under difficult conditions and will provide rapid 3-D model reconstruction and motion algorithms. In Phase II, IOS will also demonstrate verifiable prototype software.

Just upgraded to 3.8.14. I have been reading the issues about the state field not being included after upgrading (which mine wasn't) I added it back and that seems to work fine now. However I have "Allow shipping same as billing" is enabled but it does not work. when I fill out the billing fields then click the check box and when I go to click the "Shipping same as Billing Address" check box both sets of filed disappear off the checkout form.
Also, here is some feedback from users of the site about the checkout form. There are so many things that just don't' work as most users expect such as if you have a fixed shipping amount why do you force the user to pick a country and or country/state when you are collecting this info in the billing address already? it's double work for them. Also the flow of the form is very confusing for most users. This is the feedback I have been receiving from my client's users and wanted to pass it on.

Area counties driest in the state
Published: Friday, February 13, 2009 at 10:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 13, 2009 at 10:01 a.m.
RALEIGH Drought experts say all of North Carolina's counties are suffering from drought or abnormally dry conditions for the first time in seven months, and the Blue Ridge Mountains along the S.C. border are in the worst shape.
The U.S. Drought Monitor released a map Thursday that shows drought in the western part of the state. Most of the region is under a moderate drought, which is the least severe among the four drought categories.
A pocket of counties including Henderson, Transylvania and Polk along the western border with South Carolina is one tier higher at severe drought. Southern Buncombe, McCowell and Haywood counties are also listed as in severe drought.
The eastern half of North Carolina is experiencing abnormally dry conditions, which means drought isn't present but could return without adequate rainfall.
Woody Yonts, chairman of the state Drought Management Advisory Council, is asking residents to conserve water as rainfall amounts fall well-below average. Ground water levels are also dropping.

To the Editor.
—In the October Archives (1980;140:1286-1289), there was an article by Brody with an editorial comment (p 1277) by Leigh. The gist of the editorial was that because "many physicians are unaware of the behavioral and psychological aspects of their patients" because of an "absence of a systematic program in the medical curriculum that can translate the physician's interest in patients into the actual practice of medicine," a "newly designated field in medicine, which might be called 'patientology' " should be established.There is no doubt that Brody's study is germane to the status of current medical practice in some specialty areas. The editorial overlooked the fact that, in many medical schools, there are programs that focus on the medical and psychological aspects of patient care. Systematic programs are being developed in those institutions to increase the medical students' understanding of patient needs and behavior. Emphasis on the comprehensive

PawnoAnne Murphy
A day in the life of a Footscray Pawn shop owner and the characters who inhabit the neighbourhood.
The most striking element of "Pawno" is how well observed the characters are. The players assembled by this independent filmmaker are familiar and recognisable, from the scallywags to the battlers, each embodying a part of a quintessentially Australian psyche. There are many story-lines woven into the episodic plot, and a lot of emotional territory is traversed while not straying too far from a particularly interesting shop in a suburb known for its diversity. It's all here, astute and darkly colourful. Pawn stars.
99 HomesAnthony Macali
After being evicted from his home, a father starts working for the very real estate broker who facilitated his dispossession.
"99 Homes" is an emotionally charged story about the economic fallout of the US financial crisis, with a particular focus on the families who lose their homes. The intimate and close-up style, bolstered by the desperate and compelling performances, create a heartfelt and personal story, which is deeply empathetic. From the first eviction, the dramatic tension never lets up, and raises questions of morality at every turn. One good film.
The LobsterAnthony Macali
A man checks into a hotel and has 45 days to find a partner, or be transformed into an animal of his choosing.
The quirky premise of "The Lobster" certainly captures your attention, and for the first half at least, plays out with weirdly dark and terrific humour. The film is laden with allegory, especially in its almost cynical commentary on relationships and the brutal punishment for those who don't conform. Beautifully shot with a formidable supporting cast, it's a shame curiosity wavers towards the end of the story, as our apathy for the characters falters with the plot. The one that got away.
MacbethAnne Murphy
Returning from battle Shakespeare's tragic medieval Scots hero, Macbeth, encounters three witches on a barren moor who foretell him becoming Thane of Cawdor and King hereafter.
"Macbeth" transports you to a purgatory of plotting and scheming. This is a brutal and bloody telling of the familiar story about manic ambition set against a hypnotic scenic backdrop. The words are from the original play, but sensibly pared back. The witches for example don't deliver a cackle between them, but their presence is nonetheless haunting. Consistently strong acting performances and inventive cinematography work to create an exceptional and haunting movie. All hail Macbeth.
The GiftAnthony Macali
A man from the past comes back to haunt a couple, leaving wrapped presents at their doorstep.
"The Gift" is the gift that keeps on giving... the creeps. Hooked from the very first interaction between our lead characters, the suspense builds as their rich and sinister backstories are revealed. Largely set in a single house, this conspicuous setting brings even more unease, in its vulnerability and realism. Interest tends to wane towards the end as the conceit becomes a little monotonous. But the film's greatest achievement is its unpredictability. You don't know how it's going to end, which is a rare cinematic gift.
Holding the ManAnne Murphy
The attraction between John and Tim started in High School in the 70s their relationship lasted for over 15 years until John's death due to HIV/AIDS.
The only not quite believable piece in this poignant and earnest story of star-crossed lovers is watching the central actors playing high school boys. Theyre adults dressed as boys, and sadly they look it. Apart from this misstep the love story is compelling for the way the relationship endures, especially against the odds. Tissues are recommended, as this powerful movie will have a lasting impact on any beating heart. Never let go.
City of GoldAnthony Macali
A documentary about famous LA food critic Johnathon Gold.
"City of Gold" is an admirable documentary about a wonderful writer, whose commentary on food transcends boundaries in multiple ways. Apart from his utterly brilliant style, and encyclopedic knowledge and passion for his hometown, he is famous for shining the spotlight on some of the smaller restaurants. Not one to discriminate, Mr. Gold values cooking as a service to a community, and provides a telling insight into multicultural society, where food can bring people together. This guy really likes tacos.
The WolfpackAnthony Macali
Not permitted outside of their apartment, the Angulo brothers only escape is their film collection.
"The Wolfpack" is an intimate look at a large family sadly confined to the boundaries of their apartment. Home-schooled by their devoid mother, the children's only view of the outside world is through the skewed reality of cinema, which could only contribute to their weird behaviour. It's hard to watch, especially as the young brothers gradually realise the misery of their imprisoned existence. Even more heartbreaking is their tethered creative talents, limited to charming re-enactments of famous movies. An agonising insight into social suppression.
The Diary of a Teenage GirlAnne Murphy
It's the 1970s and the city is San Francisco, and teenage Minnie starts an affair with the handsomest man in the world, her mother's boyfriend
The situation is morally alarming, and the characters are authentic, so it is a relief the story is delivered without preaching or judging. We get to watch an engrossing depiction of discovering one's womanhood. It is a delight to see a story related by a young woman protagonist, especially a tale so daring and honest. We share her joy of embracing all parts of herself, including her angst and self-doubts. Remember your own teenage years?
Tehran TaxiAnne Murphy
An Iranian director banned from film-making drives passengers through the streets of Tehran in a taxi with the camera rolling.
An intriguing cast of passengers ride in the taxi, each with their own colourful contribution to this social commentary on life and politics in Iran. The road trip through the city is captivating, and its laid back style is able to present more insight about living in Tehran than any news broadcast. The subtle serendipitous style of the movie allows us to grasp some of the oppressive realities, and to experience a little humour as life goes on. Call me a cab.
Rules of the GameAnne Murphy
An employment agency in the North of France mentors young people through their job search efforts.
We follow three marginalised young people in their efforts to prepare for job interviews. It's easy to snicker at the disenfranchised youth for now knowing how to pitch their experience and skills to prospective employers. The filmmaker's fly-on-the-wall approach is even handed in that it appears non-judgemental. On the surface the struggles and responses of the kids look a bit funny, and it might have been easy to mock them, but the underlying societal issues are no laughing matter.
Deep WebAnthony Macali
A documentary about the 96 per cent of the internet that goes unindexed by search engines.
"Deep Web" is a highly informative and educational insight into the little known and hidden portion of the World Wide Web. The less you know beforehand, the more you will be astounded at 'Silk Road', the illicit drug marketplace at the centre of this investigation, and its equally fascinating libertine founder and administrator. Ultimately the film raises a discussion about privacy in a digital world, and neatly highlights the gaps in todays Internet freedom. Can the good guys hack the bad guys?
1001 GramsAnne Murphy
A scientist works with weights, carefully calibrated and stored, much like her own emotions.
"1001 Grams" has a simple minimalist style, and its glimpse into the world of people who dedicate their careers to validating weights is quite interesting. The director's artistry is most evident visually, with the camera capturing the landscape with geometric precision and to stunning effect. Some audiences might find it difficult to warm to this movie though as the characters persist as annoyingly impenetrable. Interpersonal interactions are so measured that the overall tone is melancholic even in the lighter scenes. Underweight.
Heaven Knows WhatStefan Bugryn
Two junkies share their on-again, off-again relationship with a chaotic love triangle for heroin.
In an attempt to stay as real as possible, this film falls comfortably short of providing any enjoyment from its visceral experience. It doesn't go further than providing lots of close up shots with an obnoxious accompanied by unsatisfying electronic score. Yes, we are meant to feel like it's authentic, with the actors playing the parts were actually previous junkies themselves, but nothing good comes from the messy narrative. It had much potential from the start, and ends up disappointing us again and again as the story progresses. Heaven knows this isn't good.
ResultsAnne Murphy
A gym owner and a personal trainer get tangled up with a wealthy eccentric client, all three have cause to think about the relationship between love and money.
"Results" speaks to our aspirational future selves; don't we all want to become better versions of who we are? A brilliant cast get a great workout on the screen, and convincingly take us along even as the action goes over the top. The characters are recognisable and complete with questionable motives and all. This slow building story is not to be missed, it has muscle. Results delivered.
Me and Earl and the Dying GirlAnne Murphy
Greg, a high school kid, and his film making side-kick Earl are pressured by Greg's mum into befriending a girl at school who has been diagnosed with leukaemia.
This isn't the first time a romance has centered on a girl with a terminal illness, but "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is a rare movie, which confronts the situation head on with refreshing honesty, and lets the characters live without being overshadowed by their doomed relationship. The title gives it away, the story has a sense of humour and a sharp wit, balancing the inevitable heartrending scenes. Lively, until the end.
DopeAnne Murphy
Malcolm is a high school geek, a virgin who loves hip hop and wants to go to Harvard, all goes awry when he and his friends have a wild encounter with the shady LA drug culture.
"Dope" is a smart coming-of-age story, packed with adventure. The movie opens energetically, rolling with the hero and his best friends. There are laughs to be had as the trio find themselves in more and more trouble. The second half loses pace and dawdles, before finishing with a heavy-handed lecture about race based assumptions. All in all, more awesome than dopey.
IrisAnne Murphy
A documentary about fashion icon Iris Apfel from legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles.
The subject of "Iris" is the elderly and the eccentric... with a distinctive sense of style. Much is made of her age and that of her even more elderly husband, being over 80 years old somehow makes them curiosities. She is a voracious shopper who enjoys a lavish lifestyle, and one of the truly curious things about this woman is her ability to do little apart from shop for clothes and jewellery. Despite its frivolous nature this is a must see for fashionistas of all ages. It's all in the eye of the beholder.
Force of DestinyAnne Murphy
A journey of love on a transplant waiting list.
Inspired by the life experiences of the writer/director "Force of Destiny" poignantly shows the shock of receiving a dire medical diagnosis. Thankfully the movie resists overplaying the tragic aspects of facing death, capturing more a sense of the ordinary, which makes the viewing so interesting. The everyday goes on albeit with a heightened sense of grief. Emotions are held down by the characters, as they try to cope with an unthinkable future. While the tone is restrained and sombre, the impact is forceful.
Two Days, One NightAnthony Macali
Sandra discovers that her workmates have opted for a pay bonus in exchange for her dismissal.
"Two Days, One Night" ponders a precarious dilemma. We learn our protagonist is wrestling a sickness, and feel the helplessness and frustration that comes living with it, amplified by a strong and palpable performance. While the setup is questionable, it enables an interesting and often unseen view of families on the weekend, and the common economic struggles they face. The quiet pace might not suit everyone, but it allows time to properly introduce the various characters, and effortlessly create an emotional connection. Lingers many days after...
What We Do in the ShadowsAnthony Macali
Follow the lives of three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life's obstacles, like being immortal vampires.
"What We Do in the Shadows" demonstrates that life is hard for a vampire in Wellington. In true mockumentary style, the introduction of a wide-range of housemates is the best and funniest part of the film. The dry humour and deadpan delivery creates many laugh-out-loud moments, as it employs the classic bloodsucker traits and applies them to the modern world. While the lack of a story becomes prevalent towards the end, it doesn't last too long. They do hilarious.
The GrandmasterAndrew O'Dea
The story of martial-arts master Ip Man, the man who trained Bruce Lee.
"The Grandmaster" is a stylish Kung Fu epic, resplendent in its lush visuals and attention to period detail. Unfortunately the narrative is downright confusing, burdened by disjointed storytelling and a muddled timeline. It disappoints as a biography of its subject, flippantly passing over the opportunity for meaty characterisation in exchange for overly dramatised, prolonged cut sequences. Thankfully, the stunning and explosive fight sequences that redeem this movie, undeniably gorgeous in their choreography and artistic flair. A grand film, but hardly mastered.
VirungaAnthony Macali
A group of brave individuals risk their lives to save Virunga National Park in Congo.
"Virunga" is a vibrant national park full of life and, to much dismay, a place of death. This breathtaking parcel of land happens to fall on a large oil deposit, and the battle between preservation and money plays out extraordinarily on screen. It's a shocking juxtaposition that lets its characters share their messages, from the adorable keepers and their family of gorillas, to the faceless business men contracted to incite war. A fine example of fearless journalism and heartfelt conservation. Primeval.
- Genre » Documentary War
- Festival » MIFF 2014
Paper PlanesAnthony Macali
An imaginative children's film about a young Australian boy's passion for flight and his challenge to compete in the World Paper Plane Championships in Japan.
"Paper Planes" is a laudable representative of Australian drama, reminding us of some of the more imaginative and simpler pleasures in life. With themes of grief, bullying and the importance of winning, it's difficult to dislike this innocuous outing. While it may struggle to find an audience outside of its target demographic, the performances of the adolescents and uplifting musical score will inspire a generation. Pull out the A4's... and start folding.
JoeAnthony Macali
An ex-con, who is the unlikeliest of role models, meets a 15-year-old boy and is faced with the choice of redemption or ruin.
'Joe' is a well-revered man and surprising anti-hero to the strange dwellers of his back-wood community. He resides in a neighbourhood full of sinister characters, with troubled pasts and captivating lives. In the middle lies a relationship with the young Gary. Their exchanges form the most rewarding part of the film, as they thrive and learn from their experiences. Despite a lull towards the end, the local menaces will keep on you on edge. A hard-working performance.

Just a few hours ago, Mayor Nickels commended Jan Drago for her work overseeing the monorail. (He knows it wasn't her fault the finance plan sucks.)
This just in from Drago's opponent, Casey Corr. Apparently he didn't get the mayor's press release:
"For more than a year, Council President Jan Drago ignored warnings of a Monorail debacle in the making. She ignored calls to protect taxpayers that came from the State Treasurer, the State Auditor, four former mayors and many others. She resisted calls for a vote and provided no leadership to resolve this crisis. Today, after weeks of refusing to do so, she finally agreed with me that it's time for a vote on the Monorail's future."

Quality and plush feel are top notch! As the website states, the mats may be larger than OEM, and they are, but the fit is perfect and completely covers the floor carpet. I am very satisfied. I have a light beige interior and chose to have a contrast mat in charcoal ( not the true black which is also offered) and I love the result.

There are countless self-catering options- both nestled away from the busy main road or with ocean views. Buffels Bay is the perfect swimming and surfing beach.

Stand tall as a liberal
Published: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 9:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 9:35 a.m.
I begged Judy LeBoeuf and company to brag about President George Bush's accomplishments. Obviously, she could not think of any. Instead, she attacked President Obama. It took President Bush eight years to tank our economy. In his last six months, Bush lost a whopping 700,000 jobs each month. LeBoeuf's attacks of the Obama administration hold no water and don't make sense to the average reader. This does: In two and one half years, Obama has stopped the unemployment hemorrhage by adding more than 200,000 new jobs each month, and the economy is definitely on the rise. Period.
But now, the Republican candidates are breaking their Golden Rule: Don't ever attack another Republican. How sweet it is. Our Democratic machine will finish the job this fall. No way, no how can we go back to the disastrous Bush years. Too much is at stake.
President Obama will beat handily any candidate standing. I do hope it is Newt Gingrich who attacked verbally the last CNN moderator, John King, who asked him if he wanted to comment on his second wife's accusations that he, Gingrich, wanted to have an open marriage so he could continue his sexual relationship with a congressional aide, Calista, whom he subsequently married.
Gingrich lambasted King by saying that this is an example of the media which wants to protect the Democrats. If I had been John King, I would have answered: "Mr. Gingrich, when you led the impeachment proceedings for Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky case in 1999, the media did not spare President Clinton. He sat in the hot seat for one whole year. Your second wife exposed you, not ABC nor CNN." I would have also said: "The real truth, sir, is that you displayed great hypocrisy for attacking President Clinton. The only good thing you did was you had the audacity to ask your second wife's permission to have a mistress. Political justice will be served this November."
In conclusion, Mrs. White, continue writing your letters. Many feel as you and I do. Radical Republicans will never give up nor give in. The more they attack me, the more energized I get about standing tall and proud behind one of America's greatest presidents ever. Let's assure Obama and our country another four years of success, not Republican chaos. Long live progressive, liberal Democrats.

I think Jim Harbaugh brings an attitude and understanding of football that we haven't seen for a long time, if ever!! If you watch his press conferences, his mic'd up video from last game and his speech to the team after the win, you can tell he brings an approach that will bring this organization back to our glory days! We all know Alex Smith sucks... but with a quality coaching staff that we have and the other talent we have, its obvious to see things are looking up for Niner fans! But the best thing about him is he understands media and how to game plan. He never shows his cards. I have a strong feeling he has a bunch of surprises up his sleeve for the Cowgirls this week and we WILL WIN THIS GAME! Cheers!

Well, here's a change. I know, I've got to stop starting new stories before finishing old ones, but unfortunately for all of you guys out there, that's not how my mind works. I have three new fics right now and I'm working on all three at once because they all fascinate me, I know what I want to happen, and I want to finish them. This means calling my older stories on hold.
There are stories that people want me to update that I just can't finish. I've lost interest in them. I'm not going to skim through and write out which ones are because, as you can tell by the number of fics I have, that'd take too damn long. So, if you're interested in adopting one of my old ideas and think you can complete it, message me so I can confirm that it's up for grabs, then message me again once you've downloaded all of the chapters. Once I get that confirmation, the original story I wrote will be deleted and then it's all you. Other stories will just be deleted; ones I plan to pick up are NOT going to be handed over.
Now that I have that straightened out, I'm going to get back to work.

Re: Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge for 2013!
Hi Everyone!
I am new to these boards but after only lurking for the last few weeks I have learned SOOOOO much! My primary goal is to buy my first home. I actually went through the entire process of pre-approval and having a home built only to lose my mortgage because my scores dropped at the last minute. So my goal is to get back to a 640 mid score before someone puts in an offer on the home that I had built for my family. I am pretty sure that my TU score is over 640 now as CK is reporting it as 631 and they have typically been about 30 points off from my actual FICO. I look forward to building my scores well past that 640 nby the end of the year.
Looking forward to the "700 Club"
Starting Score: 619 TU, 587 EQ
Current Score: Wal-Mart TU 682, MyFICO EQ 655 Lender Pull EX 645
Goal Score: All 700 by 12/31/13

By ELAINE SCIOLINO
Published: April 30, 1997
ABERDEEN, Md., April 29— A military jury today found a former drill sergeant guilty of raping six female trainees, sending a clear signal throughout the armed forces that sexual misconduct will not be tolerated.
After deliberating for 31 hours over five days, the jury of five men and one woman declared Staff Sgt. Delmar G. Simpson guilty on 18 rape charges, including five incidents involving a 21-year-old former trainee from Illinois who was described by two witnesses as a ''compulsive liar'' and eight incidents involving a 23-year-old former trainee from Wyoming whom Sergeant Simpson twice drove to his apartment, where she stayed the night.
The jury acquitted Sergeant Simpson, a 32-year-old father of two, of only one rape charge, involving a 20-year-old former trainee from Tennessee who testified that she took a shower before intercourse, did not resist and led him to believe she wanted to have sex with him. But he was convicted of a second rape charge involving the same woman.
Sergeant Simpson, wearing his green drill sergeant's uniform, stood at attention in the ascetic, pale pink military courtroom on the base here as the male colonel who headed the jury read its verdict on each of the 54 criminal charges. Sergeant Simpson's wife, an Army sergeant based at a classified installation in Virginia, sat impassively behind him.
The verdict in the court-martial was a dramatic victory for Army prosecutors, who had argued that the power of the drill sergeant over his subordinates was near absolute. They portrayed the lean, 6-foot-4-inch sergeant as an evil predator who abused the power of his rank to rape, sodomize, assault and harass the most vulnerable women under his command.
Defense lawyers, who had argued that the women were willing participants who engaged in sexual intercourse and later cried rape, seemed stunned by the verdict. As the head of the jury uttered the word ''guilty'' over and over, Sergeant Simpson's two military lawyers, Capt. Edward Brady and Maj. J. Michael Sawyers, bowed their heads.
The verdict breaks no new legal ground and is still subject to review. But the case has raised questions about whether the military is, as it is supposed to be, a haven of discipline and safety or whether it has deteriorated into a dangerous place in which women are afraid of male superiors and men are afraid of blackmail by vindictive seductresses. Today's verdict is certain to rekindle the debate on Capitol Hill and within the military about whether the American military's experiment with integrating men and women has failed.
''This is unquestionably a watershed event in the evolving social history of the armed forces of this country,'' said Eugene R. Fidell, an expert in military law and president of the National Institute of Military Justice.
''It says first of all that the Army has aggressively and successfully prosecuted a case that was in some quarters not a popular one. It says that the Army collectively and individually is dead set against sex between drill sergeants and trainees. Finally, it grounds the doctrine of constructive force in rape cases more firmly than before.''
Because of the unequal relationships in the military between assailant and victim, what is known as ''constructive force'' is sufficient to prove rape. That condition is considered to be present when an accused's actions involve an abuse of power that, coupled with surrounding circumstances, creates ''a reasonable belief in the victim's mind that death or physical injury would be inflicted on her and resistance is futile.''
Because of Sergeant Simpson's special position of authority, he did not have to use a weapon or make specific threats for the military jury to determine that rape had occurred.
After the verdict, Judge Paul Johnston, a colonel with the United States Army Trial Judiciary Service in Washington, who appeared in court in a black judge's robe, issued an order preventing both sides from discussing the case. But on Monday, Frank Spinner, Sergeant Simpson's civilian lawyer, vowed to appeal any rape conviction.
The crime of rape can carry with it a life sentence. The jurors -- a female master sergeant and two full colonels, a lieutenant colonel, a captain and a sergeant 1st class, all male -- will begin deciding the sentence on Monday.
Even with Sergeant Simpson's conviction, the ordeal for the Army and for the American military as a whole is far from over. Since last fall, 12 men at the base, the Aberdeen Proving Ground, have been charged with sexual offenses. No American military installation has ever faced such sweeping charges of sexual misconduct, and no sex case has ever shaken the military so deeply.
The accusations have damaged the reputation of Aberdeen, the Army's oldest weapons testing installation, which every year teaches more than 20,000 military personnel fresh from basic training how to repair and clean almost everything the military uses, whether air-conditioners or pistols.
It is the place where every type of vehicle in the military is tested before it goes into the field, where the rifle that killed John F. Kennedy was brought for testing, where submarine hulls are submerged in a giant artificial pond to test their seaworthiness and where infantry boots and tank seats are tried out for comfort.
