Michigan State University recently offered Seah Lim an endowed chair to move to East Lansing, Mich., to work and teach.
But Lim, a physician who researches blood-borne cancers, chose to stay in Amarillo. He said he's never been happier than he has been here. The Malaysia native moved here nearly five years ago.
Lim's former coworkers were surprised he told them he wanted to move to Amarillo to conduct his research.
Amarillo is not one of the cities where groundbreaking medical research like Lim's is typically done. It's 1,000 miles to the Mayo Clinic and 600 miles to Houston, home of the University of Texas' M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Nevertheless, Lim's colleagues said he has remained a leader in his field since moving to the Panhandle nearly half a decade ago. He's proven competitive medical research can be done in Amarillo.
Lim, whose team of six scientists is working on a vaccine for blood-borne cancers, moved from Albany, N.Y., and the Albany Medical Center, a 631-bed teaching hospital in upstate New York.
"I was never really that happy in a big institution," Lim said. "There was an awful lot of infighting and backstabbing."
Lim found a supportive town in Amarillo with a medical community that would support his research and career.
"This is a lovely place," Lim said. "There's a lot of opportunity here."
Lim received $335,000 in grants from the National Institutes of Health last year.
He has written more than 25 peer-reviewed articles since moving to Amarillo. Lim attends national meetings on hematology cancers and tumor vaccines.
He gives lectures there to others in his field, said Vance Esler, a colleague of Lim's at Texas Oncology, the independent, comprehensive cancer center where Lim now works.
An article he wrote last year was cited by more researchers in their work than any other article written that year, Esler said. The lack of competition within similar fields in Amarillo helps researchers. Doctors are willing to help each other, and there is no backstabbing, Lim said.
"Unlike a big teaching hospital, people here are happy for you when you are successful," Lim said.
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy Dean Arthur Nelson said the limitations of size and resources forces people to rely on each other for help.
"Being small gives you the necessary communication amongst the various players to get things done," Nelson said.
Research director for the Amarillo Center for Clinical Research Michael Gaylor said Amarillo has a large patient draw. People from all over the Panhandle come to Amarillo.
That pool of potential patients is also racially, socioeconomically and geographically diverse, giving the researchers many types of people to work with.
"I feel like there's not a significant difference between what we can accomplish here and another scientifically famous institution," Gaylor said. He said the head of the Amarillo Center for Clinical Research shunned an opportunity to run the allergy immunology at the National Institutes of Health in 2004 to stay in Amarillo.
There are some disadvantages to not working in a research hospital, Nelson said.
Doctors then must fight against the attitude from others in their field that they wouldn't work in Amarillo if they were very good.
Once a scientist overcomes the handicaps of reputation and track record, the rewards can be had.
"In the scientific world, once you start to be successful, all of a sudden what you've done no longer becomes tied to little ol' Amarillo, it comes from someone who is known for his work," Nelson said.
Because of that, Amarillo's a good place if researchers are already set in their field.
"But it's probably not a good place to be in if you are relying on the institution's reputation to take your career forward," Lim said. It also takes longer to have highly technical procedures done, like sequencing the DNA of something, Lim said.
Esler said having Lim in Amarillo gave credibility to the city's standing as a research community. His presence here prompted other scientists to consider moving to Amarillo.
"A lot of people are underselling Amarillo," Lim said. "What I've done in the last five years shows you can do something in a small community."
Lim's Research
Seah Lim is a medical doctor and earned another doctorate in immunology. He is the only physician scientist in Amarillo, and his team of six scientists works on treatments for multiple myeloma, cancer of the plasma cell.
Lim's group is searching for vaccines for proteins associated with different myeloma cancer cells. One of the problems with treating cancer is the cancer cells start to mutate as they grow and divide. "Eventually, they are not the same cells," Lim said.
Lim's approach is to treat a patient with chemotherapy, then give them a vaccine he's working on. "It's very likely the chemotherapy will never get rid of the last cancer cells," Lim said. This causes patients to relapse. But Lim's vaccine for multiple types of myeloma cancer cells is designed to destroy the last bits of cancer.
Lim's group has patents on five cancer proteins, though four of the proteins are in very early stages of development.
Anne Quinn Young, program director for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, said there are 50,000 people living with multiple myeloma. Between 11,000 and 12,000 people with the disease die each year and only 32 percent will live five years after first being diagnosed.
Growing Research Community
Despite a relatively small number of Ph.D.-level faculty and increased competition for research funding, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy in Amarillo continued to improve its standing among the nation's 101 pharmacy schools in 2006.
In data released Jan. 31 by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, Texas Tech School of Pharmacy ranked sixth among the nation's 101 pharmacy schools in the percentage of Ph.D.-level faculty who are funded by the National Institutes of Health. Nine of the school's 20 Ph.D. pharmacy faculty, or 45 percent, were conducting NIH-funded research in 2006. Overall, the Texas Tech School of Pharmacy ranked 29th in NIH funding with more than $2.2 million.

Airlander 10: Everything You Need to Know About the World's Largest Aircraft
Should you care if there's an airship 25 per cent bigger than a Boeing 747? Yes.
Should you care if there's an airship 25 per cent bigger than a Boeing 747? Yes.
Airships lost much of their popularity after the fiery Hindenburg disaster in 1937. But one British company's looking to revive the technology with the biggest aircraft on Earth.
This radical zeppelin could finally help us unlock the secrets of our celestial neighbour.
Zeppelins are actually quite an impressive species of aeronautical engineering—you know, when they aren't on fire. That's especially true considering the level of technological prowess in the 1920's. Our friends at Oobject have assembled 12 shots of these magnificent air-borne cruisers before they ever lifted off.

Outfielder Carl Everett, who drew attention for several outbursts this season, is planning to ask the Red Sox to trade him this winter, according to the Boston Globe.
The newspaper, citing unidentified industry sources, reported Friday that Everett is convinced he can no longer play for manager Jimy Williams. It said Everett's agent, Larry Reynolds, has privately told associates of Everett's intentions. Reynolds had no comment when asked about Everett's plans.
Everett had a good year on the field, hitting 34 home runs with 108 RBIs and 11 stolen bases even though he missed 25 games.
But his temper drew attention in several well-publicized instances.
Everett yelled at reporters, had confrontations with Williams and teammate Darren Lewis, and was suspended for 10 games for an outburst July 15 against an umpire. Everett bumped Ronald Kulpa once on the chest before "beaking" him with the brim of his cap.
Kevin Shea, a Red Sox spokesman, didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.

Breakaway was okay… Pink Sand Beaches
Stateroom- Mini suite on Deck 12, In my opinion don't spend the extra money on the mini suite and book a plain ol balcony no difference. I have to say the one thing that I really honestly HATED on the ship was how the rooms are set up the state room doors are right next to each other so when your neighbor comes and leaves their room it is like they are using the same door you use for your room and your hear everything. Oh and balconies are not that private if someone is next to you you can basically see and if your by the railing forget about it you can see right into the balcony next to yours.

See, this is why Obama is so successful - he can actually explain things, as opposed to King George who can't even pitch a ball without being booed by the 80 percent of America that hates his guts.
Stupid Amelicans you China betch now.
It is REALLY gonna suck when we get stuck with President John McCain. Having an intelligent, literate leader is worthless. We need a strong hand on the wheel!
A year ago, Senator Obama urged Sec. Paulson to pay attention to the coming subprime mortgage mess:
Seeing Obama debate McCain would be so enjoyable.
@5 It'll happen soon enough.
@5, that would be the most enjoyable series of debates ever. I'm sure Obama would make McCain look dumb.
I wonder if he memorized this speech, like he did for his speech on race, or if he's reading a teleprompter.
I haven't heard a politician give a speech on something so high level and difficult to explain in such a long long time. Financial and economical issues are so hard to explain at a basic level, yet he can pull it off.
So Obama is a brilliant, thoughtful, wise, and eloquent man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, OK already, Jonathan. We get it!
This is precisely why it never should have come to this. Obama should be disqualified for the presidency out of hand. The man embodies four of the things we Americans fear the most:
From Nicholas Kristof in Sunday's NY Times:
President Bush is also the only Western leader I know of who doesnt believe in evolution, saying the jury is still out. No word on whether he believes in little green men.
Only one American in 10 understands radiation, and only one in three has an idea of what DNA does. One in five does know that the Sun orbits the Earth ...oh, oops.
America is now ill with a powerful mutant strain of intertwined ignorance, anti-rationalism, and anti-intellectualism, Susan Jacoby argues in a new book, The Age of American Unreason. She blames a culture of infotainment, sound bites, fundamentalist religion and ideological rigidity for impairing thoughtful debate about national policies.
Oh, and if one of you Obamatons mentions that Lincoln also gave a speech at Cooper Union, I'm going to personally come over and smack you upside the head.
nice to see Obama talking about the New Deal unashamedly and positively. I hope he can take the right wing criticism/hatred with as much grace and humor as FDR did, for which see his 'I welcome their hatred' speech or the 'Fala' speech
Ah, an intelligent, well-spoken politician. Pinch me.
No hillaretards on this post yet. Must be watching Days Of Our Lives.
Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes right, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
I have to say it again: This is what happens when you take a real life President (FDR) and he has a love child with a fictional President (Jed Bartlett) and have the resulting genetic mix carried full term in a strong black woman: You have Barack Obama.
And yes, I am gushing with excitement!!!
* ...that right makes might...
It's hard to take that the GE will be decided with the help of dumber than dirt voters who think "Obama's a Muslim". :(
@8 -
I hate word number two.
That word, all by itself, is fuckin racist as hell and I wish we could wipe it right out of the language like a bad linguini stain on linoleum.....
In other news, Hillamonster's up to her tits in predatory lenders.
I am really looking forward to the death of her campaign.
Wow. I wonder if O's republican supporters know how progressive he is or at least is presenting himself to be.
I have always prefered him over HRC, but was never an Obama Zombie, but for a future president to explain the market and to call into question the complete enmacipation of the market is truly revolutionary as far as electoral politics go.
I have no doubt that he will be our nominee.
@17, He needs to dumb down that speech for middle America. Not everyone understands the economy even at a high school level.
If I was high school Econ teacher teaching a class full of graduating seniors who are voting this year, I'd require that they study that speech and do group projects on the topics presented in that speech.
Sounds like BaRon Paulbama.
@8 - Despite the sensationalist news coverage of Rev. Wright, et. al., race does not seem to be hurting Obama nearly as much as one might expect. On the contrary, dealing with the issue of race has done more to reveal Obama's leadership potential than anything else to date - just look at what has happened to his poll numbers since the race speech.
Anti-intellectualism may actually be the larger problem for him. But I think that Will @1 is right. Obama has an unusual gift for explaining complex ideas in a way that makes sense; he doesn't come off as an ivory-tower intellectual in the way that say, Kerry or Gore did.
I think the problem is not so much with candidates who are too smart; it's with candidates who can't explain their ideas in an accessible way. Bush and Co. have had really stupid ideas. But they've done a great job of selling them.
This guy really needs to be president. Even if not this time around, then the next, or the one after that.
I hope every Clinton voter who talks about Obama's "lack of specifics" gets a chance to read this.
Hey Erica, what's Hillary's economic dissection of the current national situation and how we got there? Linky link?
Also compare with McCain who not only knows dick about economics but also admits it freely.
Macro 101 won me over on Keynes. When you bring in all the variables, and do the math, it all seems to come down to the same, painfully simple model. One starts to think that all other economic theories have been bullshit designed to keep economists employed.
This is part of what I've been saying; regulation has failed because regulators were unwilling or unable to do anything regulatory about it. This all comes back to who is appointing the regulators, the people in charge of the Fed etc etc. This is what I like about Obama; I don't get the feeling he will let Bernanke to remain as Chairman, nor will he appoint halfwits who don't take their job seriously or just look the other way.
I also think that you can't rely on government regulation if the system is so wholly compromised by Wall Street lobby money. The commies on this board can talk about how free markets blow because they arent self regulating, but I ask them "when has the government ever gotten balls to do anything except in extreme circumstances?" Why trust the government to do something right when they corrupted by what they are supposed to regulate?
The whole "New Deal Revisionism" is pretty hilarious as is Keynesian revisionism. Many of the particulars may have been necessary for the time and place, but look at the current budget problems of our national, state and local governments. I would argue that many of these problems are not only due to undertaxation but also due to an overspending to stimulate local economies as Keynesian Theory would dictate; pork projects. Or the refusual to adjust SS to reflect and adjust to the expected age of mortality for pensioners.
My hope is Obama can be the one that will not only rectify many of the problems in enforcing regulations on business that exist but also help reform government and many of the popular but destructive programs that subvert government's ability to act.
@K, every school of economics has something valuable to contribute to economic thought. It is when one school has monopoly on the thought of people regulating or deregulating the government that we run into problems.
The problem with Keynesian thought alone is that pretty much everything about the Phillips Curve and Keynesian thought was thrown for a loop in the early 70s.
This is the same reason why certain trading methods may work in steady markets but volatility throws the computers into fits.
"There are basically five stages in Minskys model of the credit cycle: displacement, boom, euphoria, profit taking, and panic."
I expect obamania will trace the same dynamic arc.
Shorter Obama: Deregulation is bad, and regulation is bad, and specifics are bad, m'kay?
Consult Krugman on HRC v BHO in this regard.
after obama's race speech, people said that it was too intellectual for general consumption which is implicitly saying that people won't support someone who says things that they don't understand. in other words, people are dumb and they will only vote for dumb people.
but look at the polls. obama got a bounce.
not only did his nuanced and smart speech on race not hurt him, it helped him.
how anyone can argue, after 8 years of bush, that people don't want a president who is smart (and smarter than them) is beyond me.
i want someone who is on top of this shit. i don't want to listen to a speech given by the president and feel like i'm listening to a 5th grade book report.
these kinds of speeches can do nothing but help obama. incompetance in government really sticks in the public's craw. iraq. katrina. all that stuff. coming off as smart and having a plan is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Cressona, were you aware that Abe Lincoln, former President, also gave a powerful speech at that very same Cooper Union?
Fnarf @28, thank you so much for that invaluable piece of information.
RonK @26: Consult Krugman on HRC v BHO in this regard.
I believe Paul Krugman is the poster child for what supporting Hillary can do for otherwise rational men.
It's remarkable the lengths Krugman goes to to back up Hills. I mean, you never hear him mention that five-year freeze on adjustable mortgage rates that she's proposing. Is there any economist supporting that one with a straight face? I guess Krugman's thinking is, if it's indefensible, then just don't mention it.
@ 18 That would be a nice lofty goal, however it is unlikely that many econ teachers at the high school level understood half of what he was saying themselves....
I have read and reread the quoted part of the speech. There's no proposed action. Yes deregulation got us into this- now what?
It's not enough to be articulate. You have to have a plan.
Maybe UnPC can tell us if she agrees with her co-blogger and thinks Obama going back to the plantation will solve the subprime crisis.
Christopher Hitchens rips Hillary yet another one. She must have at least 6 assholes by now (not including her husband).
Why is the MSM going so easy on her?
You can't run away from the truth about the Hillamonster.
Man, the posting is slow.

Dreams, OBE, Astral Projections and Dream Prophecy
I am with the love of my life due to dreams. Fantastic statement I know. Please read this again.
I am with the love of my life due to my dreams.
If this is your first time reading an article of mine, let me share that I do not embellish unless I am telling you I will embellish. :) I may use hyperbole but I make it clear when I am using hyperbole. This is also neither a metaphor or double talk. What this statement means is that were it not for my dreams I would not be living with the love of my life. Dreams and a series of events due to the dreams – perhaps prophecy – is why I am exactly where I am today. Whether it's the work of God or the Devil I do not know – that's between you and your religion. But all I can do is tell the story, which I will use to kick off another category in "Living within Samsara" entitled Dreams.
I have never told the entire story and now it's time to tell it start to finish. It's much of a tale, in the telling, but I implore you to believe it as I relay it, allowing your imagination to not enter into the picture. It's fantastic enough without anyone's romanticizing of it and although I have never heard anyone else's similar story, perhaps were I to come forward with my declaration of how the spirit, dream, astral world can influence our physical world, just maybe others too would speak of theirs as well. I know I cannot be the only one.
Beginning of my OBE, Astral Projecting, and Dream Prophecy
I have been astral projecting since about age 20. I remember the specific times I started floating (or more like hovering really) outside from my body. Back then, in the beginning, it was a dark and scary time for me to begin my astral exploration of worlds outside of this physical one. I knew it the first time I did it that I had no business doing it. Although I'll not delve much into it here, but shall explore that in a later compendium, I will offer the background rather scantily.
Of course I did not know the terms for what was happening and today I may even mess the terms up. The terms are not important except for perhaps that others may find information on them but the terms to know are OBE [Out of Body Experiences], Astral Projecting [Coming out of my body and exploring supposed spirit worlds in the astral realm], Lucid Dreaming [Where we can control our dream state] and Dream Prophecy [the term I use to tell of my dreams that foretell an actual event that will come to pass]. I haven't researched the difference but I think OBE, Astral, and Lucids are used by many quite interchangeably. Please do your own research if this is an important distinction for you to know now.
The result of my rocky start with Astral Projection, like the large 8 foot tall dark spirit at the foot of my bed that forced me back to my body in the beginning would have me not looking forward to doing that again. What I'd failed to understand at that point – but what I would later understand – is the spirit's need to soar. As a consequence, I would soar almost quite involuntarily for the next ten years. Sometimes the experience would be fair and other times quite unwanted.
More Recent OBE, Astral Projecting, and Dream Prophecy
During this time I would have dreams of future events and later – which means even recently – I would "dream" of parallel worlds in which the one's I loved would speak to me although dead in this world. It was all fun and games more or less. From the time I prayed as if my life depended on it that God would have me stop projecting – and I did – to when I prayed that I could handle it again and to allow me – and again, I did. And I cannot help but to remember with a smile when my self-imposed restriction had been lifted. This is quite a "dream" and I would like to share it now.
For maybe about a year of not projecting due to horrible demons – as it was when I was drinking and in the n stages of alcoholism that I'd asked God to not let me project – God had to stop it because I couldn't. So when I got sober and had dealt [and was dealing with] with my demons I intuitively knew that I could project again without negative consequences. Again, I turned to God. So as I went to sleep one night [and remember I'd not done this in quite a while] I tried to get up for some reason I can't remember now. I couldn't get up! [Clue #1 we're in an OBE though I didn't know at the time.]
So I put everything into it and then again and again… and then I had a plan. I would relax and drain myself of all my energy and then I would quickly bring all my energy back into my body and, with the help of the mattress and inertia, I would roll over to the left, thereby releasing the right side of my body. [Sounds complicated for a little "dream" doesn't it?] I did it and then I rolled to the left – and kept rolling – with such force I fell to the hardwood floor beneath the bed on the other side of the King mattress. I remember clearly looking at the floor as I used my arms to prop myself up. I got up and got on the bed with a desire to jump on the bed. So I did. First I jumped up and through the ceiling. Then I "double jumped" and ended up in the galaxy looking at the earth. I went on an adventure after that, which is when I realized I had "left my body."
My Path: Predetermined by a Dream?
A few months after I began working on my "drinking alcohol problem" I would have met several people in a 12 step program. This one particular guy I began having dreams about. The dreams had become so relentless that I was convinced I was in love with him in the waking world. What strikes me as funny – and what he won't appreciate reading – is that before I began the dreams of him I looked at him as just another guy I'd met in this 12 step program! I'd met many people and he was just another one but when the dreams began…Oh goodness. He was married and I was as good as.
I'd have very non-sensationalized dreams of talking with him. We'd hug in our dreams. We'd lay on the bed and talk in my dreams. It was all so very normal and I'd dream these things and wake up to find myself in love with him as I had felt in my dream.
I'd gotten sober January 4, 2003 and even today I can find the 4th step my sponsor advised I take on this man. It's dated September 2003. She suggested I make a list of the qualities I liked in him. Because I was such a "newcomer" to the 12 step world and "not drinking" that she realized that my "love" for him may have had something to do with the "hole in my soul" that so many newcomers seem to experience when they come in. I'd expressed problems with my love for him. I avoided meetings he attended. I walked away when he walked near. "I have to avoid him." and "He tried to say 'Hi' and I dorked out." and "What is wrong with me?" and the oddest was when I said to my sponsor: "One day I hope he and I can be friends. Maybe we'll be having lunch one day and I'll be able to tell him that there was a time I thought I was in love wit him. And we'll laugh about it." It's odd because 16 months later, this man and I would have lunch for the first time we would ever spend time together in the real world and my past words haunted to me.
My Morals Dictated I Do Everything to 'Not'
With almost cutting everything out I could in order to not go around this man, it was January of 2005, when it all came to a head. Up until this point I had deduced that the only time my life went chaotic was when I had dreams about him. I would wake up and feel really good inside but then look at my life and my husband and wonder… There was even a time I had confided in a friend about my problem of "dreams versus awake" and she actively tried to be a little minxful cupid! This man was married. I was now married and everything in me screamed, "No." The only time I had figured out when I dreamed about him was when I glanced him at a meeting or exchanged pleasantries. So, I stopped as best I could. He was very friendly though and so it was hard to avoid him. [Later he would say he thought I intensely disliked him since I seemed to walk away when he approached. I would also hug other people but not him. Had he only known at the time!]
Marriage is one thing. The remedy for a failing marriage are plenty and when push comes to shove, I imagine divorce. So when it was announced that August 01, 2003 a child was born from his marriage, well if that wasn't a solid, "Walk away. Walk away slowly and make no sudden moves" I don't know what was! I had absolutely no interest in a married man, much less a man and his wife with a new baby. At this point it was easier to stay away and as long as I stayed away I wouldn't have the dreams. If I didn't have the dreams I wouldn't become obsessed. My sponsor had even asked, "Where's his wife and baby in your dreams?" I answered matter of factly, "They're not in them."
So in January 2005, five months after my own marriage, I was at a friend's helping him move apartments. To this day I don't know why it was that at last minute I decided to help but I did. I remember not having plans to be moving anything on a Saturday morning but there I was. It just seemed the thing to do. Guess who was there? Yes. There he was. I remember feeling a great deal of shock having no idea he'd have been there. After probably months of abstinence from dreams and feeling okay in my life, I would have another dream that afternoon after helping our friend move. There I was, in love with him again, or we can call it what it really was, "tortured again."
Because by January 2005 we were now serving on a Board of Directors together, with his being President and my being Secretary, it seemed we had more legitimate reasons to talk outside of our regular meetings and particularly one on one. So when we were at our friends' helping him move he asked me something Board related and then we had to communicate via email…and it would be later in January we'd be at lunch in public discussing philosophy and nothing even remotely connected with our mutual work. At this point I was still trying hard to keep him in the realm of "friend" sincerely hoping we could become friends which we did. It wasn't much later until we discussed the nature of our relationship. We then took steps to end our respective relationships and forge our union. We succeeded there too.
The Devil, Jesus and God, or a "Neutral" Universal Energy
The fact that when we moved in together I promptly put my crucifix – given to me by my sponsor before my marriage to my now ex-husband – over our bed, I figured that if it had been the Christian Devil bewitching my emotions like that, the least I could do would be to implore the supernatural assistance of the Christian God's "only begotten son." Dreams are a fascination to me and have been since the beginning of my astral projections. I have many more stories involving my dreams, OBE's, and even the entrance of parallel universe's have occurred. I would like to begin sharing with whomever is listening my dreams, past and present. As I said before, I know I cannot be alone. Dreams and what happens, why we have them, and why really are "for" still remains a great mystery.
- Was it God putting love in my heart during my dream state which affected my waking state?
- Was it "the devil" attempting a chaotic state in my life which occurred well within the year my beloved and I would forge?
- Have my beloved and I had past lives together as a hypnogogic expression had me believe once?
- How can emotions in dreams really affect our emotions awake?
- Did my dreams cause it or was it pre-destined and prophesied through my dreams?
- Were there any other messages I may have missed?
I still can't figure out if I put the process in motion due to the dreams or if the dreams were just telling the future that would have happened naturally.
Maybe somebody can help me with that.
More on dreams to come.
Sleep well.

The Bakery
Nestled elusively behind the endless rows of ornate Newington terraces, in a quiet courtyard of other socially-minded businesses, you'd be forgiven for giving up your search for The Feast Rising Bakery. Yet persistence will be rewarded when you at last come upon the unassuming archway at 23 Arthur Street that leads to our stable door.
To the early morning monotones of The BBC World Service or a looping playlist of favourite tunes, the best locally-milled flour is turned patiently into a variety of doughs that, only after the necessarily long fermentations – and as the world beyond stabs a second time at the snooze button – will come from our ovens as pure, wholesome and tasty as bread can be.
We are open 0900-1300 (or until we're sold out) Weds-Sat.

Handcrafted Bread – The Real Thing
Here at The Feast Rising Bakery we make bread in a time-honoured fashion: slowly. Taking from the locality just what we need – flour, water, a little salt to temper the yeasts, be they natural or added – we then add the one remaining essential… Time itself.
Long, slow maturing of the dough not only gives a handcrafted loaf its wonderfully unique appearance, taste and texture but, as the wheat is broken down by natural enzymic processes, both digestibility and nutrition are also enhanced. Properly made bread is everything our food should be: pure, wholesome, tasty – good for us, in fact, in both body and in soul.
It is made by a burgeoning resurgence of passion amateurs and concientious crafts people alike who, working evermore harmoniously with the enviroment, supply their neighbourhoods with something sincere.
Flour is likely to be sourced from nearby farms and mills, with a preference for stoneground and organic where it's available; pure, wholesome ingredients unique to their source that the baker regards with a necessary reverence and, in the using, test her skill, inspire creativiy and instil tremendous satisaction.
Fermentation of the dough will be a lengthy process, thus imbuing the finished loaf with qualities that the manufacturers of industrial bread long ago eschewed in favour of shelf-life and ease of processing. A properly made loaf's immediate visual appeal are evidence of the skill and care worked into quality ingredients. The simple wholesomeness of bread properly made are further natural benefits that we experience on perhaps a more intuitive level.
Adapting their ever-increasing craft to the idiosyncracies not only of each harvest but of each milling, these bakers turn out loaves of consistent integrity whose appearance may change, albeit indiscernibly, with the seasons.
So, as we convene at the common table – as a couple, as a family, as a community – with properly made bread at its centre, we've a chance to reacquaint ourselves both with each other and, via the farmer and the miller, with the land that sustains us. And in doing so perhaps we get a glimpse, amongst this maddening maelstrom of modern life, of our true place upon this Earth.

Woodstock Ave. traffic reviewedMay 06,2014Woodstock Avenue
traffic is reviewed
Traffic issues on Woodstock Avenue were attributed to a broken signal light and the continuation of daytime work on the road Monday.
The Board of Highway Commissioners held a brief meeting it adjourned after about six minutes to get an update on the status of a trial with new lane configurations that began last week.
Mayor Christopher Louras said there were problems when Rutland High School let out Monday because a signal light on Stratton Road was broken again. He also said painting was continuing on the road, and that it needed to come to an end.
Unless we get a valid test with no obstruction, its going to be hard to say yea or nay, he said. They just need to stop. They need to get out of the road. They need to get out of the right of way during the day so we can assess whats going on with the road.
Public Works Superintendent Jeffrey Wennberg said he had been assured that the daytime work on the road had concluded Monday and he expected to have data on side street traffic in another week.
The commission will discuss the lanes again at its next regular meeting Monday, following the 3 p.m. Board of Finance meeting.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

WOOSTER, Ohio (AP) - The Rev. Diana Johnson gets more than a
helping hand as associate pastor at Ohio's Wooster United Methodist
She gets four paws, courtesy of her Seeing Eye dog, Amber, who
accompanies Johnson daily on all her church duties.
Johnson has a degenerative retina disorder that started in her youth and progressed into adulthood.
At 50, Johnson finds herself doing just about everything but driving a car. She says you either adapt to a disability or sit in a chair and do nothing.
Johnson's duties as a pastor include writing the church newsletter, visiting people in the hospital, coordinating educational programs and preparing the church bulletins.

Health care for all, Doyle says
Governor also pledges to help Milwaukee, promises $225 million for UW System
Gov. Jim Doyle on Tuesday called for reforms to provide affordable access to health care to nearly every Wisconsin resident and to retool the state's public colleges and universities with new investments.
"If - in your heart - you believe no child, no worker, no family should be without health coverage . . . (if) you take this bold step forward," the Democrat told legislators in his annual "state of the state" message, "here is what you will achieve: At least 98% of our people will have access to health care coverage, more than any other state in the nation."
Doyle laid out ambitious, broad health-care changes he wants the Legislature to make, but key specifics - including how he wants to pay for the initiatives - were left for his Feb. 13 budget message.
He also promised that message would include a tax cut, without saying which tax he will reduce and by how much. He called for an increase in one state tax Tuesday, saying the 77-cent tax on a pack of cigarettes should be raised to $2.02 to stop teens from smoking and to pay for new programs to help smokers quit.
Republicans were skeptical about how Doyle would pay for the expansion and addition of programs.
"The governor used the 'state of the state' address to really launch a cradle to grave mentality, something that every program created here will not only take an infant all the way through college, but in a way that will put the burden on middle-class taxpayers," said Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau).
Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch (R-West Salem) said Doyle had laid out an "ambitious agenda" but noted he was encouraged by Doyle's call to cut taxes.
"Right at the top, he said and he recognized that we must cut taxes for people," Huebsch said. "We will work together with him to reduce the burden on the backs of the taxpayers of this state, and if he is serious about that, I think we can really get to a good answer."
The governor also promised to soon announce details of a "comprehensive new strategy to help the Milwaukee metro area to succeed and thrive" - a plan he said would include anti-crime and job creation initiatives, and new regional investments.
"For Wisconsin to thrive, we need a strong and growing Milwaukee," Doyle said.
The speech touched several emotional bases, featuring both a National Guard soldier, Ray Hubbard, who lost a leg in Iraq and who will attend the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and UW-Madison football star Joe Thomas.
Reforming health care has been a central theme for Doyle in recent weeks, including during his inaugural speech on Jan. 3.
Tuesday, Doyle broadened his call for increasing health care coverage by laying out what he called a comprehensive strategy to bring down the cost of care, improve quality and expand access to affordable coverage. If all of the initiatives are approved, he said, Wisconsin would provide more access to health care than any other state.
He said his changes would bring down the cost of health care for all residents, not just those who take advantage of state programs.
"When someone mas a major illness, it will be paid for by their insurance, not yours and mine," Doyle said, adding that an average Wisconsin family should save up to $500 a year.
And to reform health care, Doyle again said the state needs to address the impact of tobacco use. That includes raising the state's cigarette tax by $1.25 a pack, bringing it to $2.02. Doyle said last week the increase would bring in about $500 million of new revenue over two years. He also called for a statewide smoking ban.
Among the initiatives to reform health care:
• BadgerCare Plus, which would offer every Wisconsin family the option of purchasing health insurance for their children, with premiums ranging from $10 to $80 a month per child, depending on family income. The plan would go into effect next year, Doyle said; it needs approval from the Legislature and federal officials.
• Expansion of the state's Medicaid program for low-income, elderly and disabled residents to offer health insurance to adults who may meet income requirements for BadgerCare but don't have children. More than 71,000 adults would have access to health care through the expansion, Doyle said.
Republicans in the Legislature have been skeptical of Doyle's call to expand the state's Medicaid programs, which are over budget and already cost more than $1 billion a year in state funds.
• Streamlining and simplification of the eligibility process for BadgerCare and Medicaid to ease enrollment problems. In the past, officials says, bureaucratic red tape has prevented thousands of children from enrolling in programs for which they are eligible.
• Creation of a purchasing pool for businesses to buy catastrophic health care for their employees; Doyle called for this in last year's address, too.
The expansion of Medicaid to more low-income adults and the catastrophic insurance pool were recommendations of Doyle's Healthy Wisconsin Council, which was formed to find ways to increase health care coverage.
Doyle also reiterated his call for $30 million to encourage use of electronic medical records, which should reduce medical errors.
Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson (D-Beloit) said the struggles of too many Wisconsin families to get health care have become a moral issue and called the governor's proposal a "giant step forward."
Referring to the bipartisan action earlier in the day that put the ethics-reform bill on his desk, Robson said, "We have a new tone here."
Veteran Democratic Sen. Bob Jauch of Poplar agreed that, for now, Democratic and Republican legislators are cooperating more than in the past. "Trust broke down in this institution the last eight or nine years," Jauch said.
Improving campuses
Doyle reserved some of his boldest ideas for the UW System, with what aides said would be a $225 million investment. Doyle said he would work to increase enrollment at campuses across the state by increasing financial aid and recruiting more minority students.
He will also encourage campuses to develop greater specialization. For example, at UW-Milwaukee, which has sought $10 million for its research agenda, Doyle called for greater investment to attract top experts to the school and allow for more partnerships with the private sector.
Doyle pledged to fund the Wisconsin Covenant, which would promise to every eighth-grader who signs up for the program and meets certain requirementsa place at a Wisconsin college and the financial aid to pay for it.
Doyle said his budget would also include a "major increase" in financial aid to prepare for the first Wisconsin Covenant scholars to enter college.
Attention in the Capitol will next be turned toward Doyle's budget address next month.
His 2007-'09 budget must control a long-term deficit estimated at $1.6 billion to $2.1 billion, depending on the accounting system used. That gap could also worsen by $277 million, if the state Supreme Court rules against the state in a sales-tax refund claim filed by the Menasha Corp.
Estimating likely expenses through June 30 and tax collections through mid-2009, the Legislative Fiscal Bureau predicted Tuesday a midyear surplus of $110 million - or about $40 million more than the last report, issued in November by Doyle budget aides.
That surplus assumes the Ho-Chunk tribe will pay $30 million the state says it is owed, but which the tribe disputes.
That good news of a higher surplus was jeopardized by a warning of a total of $99.3 million in year-end deficits in four programs, which could lower that midyear surplus to about $11.3 million when state government closes its budget books on June 30.
Fiscal Bureau Director Bob Lang listed those overruns as: $46 million in the Wisconsin Shares program that subsidizes child care costs; $38 million in higher Department of Corrections spending; $9.7 million in Office of the Public Defender; and $5.6 million in the BadgerCare program that provides health care for the working poor.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) - Wildlife officials have charged a central Florida man with having a venomous snake in his home without the proper permit.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on Friday said the man was charged last month after an eastern diamondback
rattlesnake was found in an unlocked cage on a back porch.
The man was also issued two warnings for improper caging.
The snake was confiscated.
The eastern diamondback is a large rattlesnake native to Florida.
Adults can grow to an average of 3-6 feet in length and can weigh up to 10 pounds.
It is illegal to possess or transport these snakes without a permit.

To quote perennial RuPaul's Drag Race favorite Latrice Royale, "Oh, the shade of it all!" From other Drag Race winners to comic peers, when it comes to Bianca Del Rio's razor-sharp tongue, nobody's safe. This past weekend, the drag superstar had some choice words for LGBT icon Kathy Griffin.
Read Whole Story
Shangela is proof that hard work really does pay off. We all know she was on two seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race and given a lot of flak for her aesthetic. Yet, she is back and serving the kids "fish" on a platter with a super catchy song and video.
It's not easy being a drag queen who wears her heart on her sequined sleeve, admitted Laganja Estranja. Watching the third episode of this year's RuPaul's Drag Race, the Los Angeles-based performer recalls the wrenching moment reality set in.
Queens dripping in glitter, one with a tentacle, another in a wig shaped like a pot leaf, pranced down the "pink" carpet of the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6 premiere last night.
Just because Shangela hasn't been able to perform due to a bad injury that occurred on stage last October, doesn't mean she has been resting on her laurels. I interviewed D.J. Pierce, the man behind the drag persona of Shangela, via phone, and it was an informative and hilarious chat.

I appear as an acquaintance of Sarah Jessica Parker's character who attends Thanksgiving dinner in the New York apartment of Kurt and Rachel. Think turkey. Think drag queens. Think 20-person dance sequence to the Scissor Sisters' "Let's Have a Kiki." All I can say is, "Y'all aren't ready!"
It was my first time taking Shangela back home, and it was quite the jaw-dropping homecoming. There's one scene where I perform a walk-off against my glamazon goddaughter on the back patio for a family audience that had never seen drag.
If I were to write a story book about Shangela I might title it "The Little Drag Queen That Could". After being the first gal eliminated on Drag Race Season 2, she returned this season.

Water Out of the Tailpipe: A New Class of Electric Car Gains Traction
By NEAL E. BOUDETTE
In California, state subsidies for hydrogen filling stations are encouraging clean-energy advocates to try fuel-cell vehicles.
Tuesday, July 26, 2016
The billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is running a private rocket company, doubling down on alternative fuels and pressing on with Tesla after a series of accidents.
In a blog post, Mr. Musk says nothing about the Autopilot controversy, while envisioning a future of self-driving buses and tractor-trailers.
An Italian classic returns by way of Japan. More than a simple re-skin of Mazda's MX-5 Miata, Fiat's 124 Spider has a turbo engine and a personality of its own.
The team, at West Virginia University, often scrounges for grants. That financial pressure is unlikely to dissipate, despite uncovering the emissions fraud.
In California, state subsidies for hydrogen filling stations are encouraging clean-energy advocates to try fuel-cell vehicles.
Lawsuits filed in the United States put the credibility of VW managers, including Matthias Müller, its leader, in the cross hairs.
Two federal agencies said in a report that it was unlikely the industry could meet the government's ambitious projections a decade from now.
General Motors raised its forecast for full-year profits after reporting a record second-quarter profit that handily beat Wall Street expectations.
The suits claim the decision to thwart pollution tests involved dozens of engineers and managers, and reached into the company's boardroom.
The S.E.C. is asking whether the automaker has improperly inflated its monthly vehicle sales totals, potentially misleading investors.
It was one of the fastest civil settlements in the history of corporate malfeasance, but fraught with pitfalls, including clashing egos and cultures.
Citing limits to an aging American standard for automobile headlamps, insurers are pushing carmakers to do more to help drivers see in the dark.
Two federal agencies said in a report that it was unlikely the industry could meet the government's ambitious projections a decade from now.
The S.E.C. is asking whether the automaker has improperly inflated its monthly vehicle sales totals, potentially misleading investors.
The company had long resisted settling the case of Patricia Mincey of Florida, who was paralyzed after the airbag in her Honda Civic forcefully deployed.
A ruling overturns most of a decision by a Manhattan judge that General Motors, after its bankruptcy, could not be sued for damages.
Even as regulators are asking new questions in the wake of a fatal crash involving Tesla's Model S car, executives say their technology is safe if properly used.
Honda brings back its midsize pickup, a better-looking version than the previous model, but built more for suburbia than the rodeo.
Automakers are putting the owner's manual online and onscreen, knowing today's drivers are unlikely to read the print version.
The difficulty of getting drivers to take control of automated cars when necessary has prompted many automakers to take people out of the equation.
Laws targeting slow drivers in the left lane are being introduced in more states with the goal of reducing congestion and accidents.
An analysis from Bankrate.com found that median-income households in the 50 largest cities could not afford the average price of a new car.
Surveys show that people generally believe autonomous vehicles should make an emergency decision for the greatest good — except if it might kill them.
Automobile electronics have freed designers from mechanical constraints — but also from the tactile clues that tell us whether a car is safely in Park.
Testing is being conducted at controlled, secretive locations like Mcity in Michigan because the number of unforeseen challenges on the road is almost limitless.
The death of Anton Yelchin, which might be linked to a faulty gearshift in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, might have accelerated the repair schedule.
According to surveys, no matter the age, American drivers see potential benefits in autonomous vehicles, but they want to be sure the technology works.
Media previews began on Wednesday, with the unveiling of many new models. The show opens to the public on Friday and runs through April 3.
