This light, sophisticated dessert is perfect for anyone looking to spice up their repertoire.
750ml/1⅓ pints pear cider
175g/6oz golden caster sugar
2½cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, peeled and sliced
3 cloves
1 large cinnamon stick
1 small red birds'-eye chilli
10 cardamom pods
1 vanilla pod, split in half, seeds scraped out using a knife
4 firm Williams or Comice pears, peeled, stalks intact
300ml/10½fl oz whipping cream
1 tsp sea salt crystals
For the poached pears, find a saucepan large enough to fit the four pears snugly.
Add the cider, sugar, ginger, cloves, cinnamon stick, chilli and cardamom to the pan and bring to the boil, then remove the pan from the heat.
Add the vanilla pod, vanilla seeds and pears to the pan, making sure the liquid covers the pears completely.
Cut out a circle of greaseproof paper a little larger than the diameter of the pan. Place the circle over the pears, pressing it down so that it fits inside the pan.
Return the pan to the heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 35-45 minutes, or until the pears are just tender.
Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool, then chill the pears, in their syrup, in the fridge, overnight if possible (they will keep for 1-2 days).
When ready to serve the pears, strain 200ml/7fl oz of the cooled syrup into a pan (discard the collected vanilla pod, cardamom pods, ginger and cinnamon stick).
Bring the syrup to the boil, reduce the heat until it is simmering and continue to simmer until the liquid has thickened to a gloopy syrup and reduced in volume by half.
Whisk in the whipping cream and cook to heat for a further 1-2 minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle over the salt crystals.
To serve, carefully remove the pears from the remaining syrup. Slice the bottom off each pear so that each can be stood upright on a plate. Spoon over a tablespoon of the remaining poaching syrup. Drizzle over the salted caramel sauce.

Haircut advice? (self.ftm)
submitted 1 year ago by informalnarwhal
Hello, new poster. I haven't been passing as of late, but the 'polite' overly female pronouns make me think it's at least hard to tell? Still hurts a bit. I figure if I get the right haircut I should pass just fine.
My transition's been pretty obvious to everyone including family, so no need for any 'feminine' in the haircut. I'd rather not have to style it cause I'm lazy like that, but whatever's fine. Hopefully good picture here.
[–]ftmichael 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
Just go to a barber and ask for a 'traditional boy's cut'. Don't buzz it all off, especially if you live in an area with a visible lesbian population. A barber is far less likely to give you hassle than someone at a salon or even somewhere like Supercuts, but if you're concerned that they'll try to feminise it, tell them you're in a play and it has to be a genuine boy's haircut.
Cut your sideburns straight across - don't leave the bits of hair there or cut them into points. It makes much more of a difference than you'd think.
[–]Kelphatron9000 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
I second the barber idea. I got gender neutral cuts from salons, but they ended up being a bit more pixie-like as they grew out. I went to a barber and actually look far more masculine now, not just androgynous.
[–]whatnow_browncow 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
This guy. Listen to him.
[–]javatimes*drops monocle* 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
It's a standard boring haircut but what I had early transition and continue to have when I'm not lazily cutting my own hair is the short back and sides blended clipper cut, longer in the front. It's a good starting point and it looks masculine.
[–]middlespoon 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Yeah I remember how when I was more ambiguously gendered people started to 'mistake' my name for a female variant of it by adding an 'a' at the end. It was fucking aggravating and I even considering changing my name to something like Trevor where you could not possibly claim to mishear it.
Barbers are a good suggestion by everyone here. I also second bringing a photograph of a guy whose hair you like. That should make your intentions clear.
[–]snythare 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I think it will look good really short. Maybe just save a few cm.. just my opinion, no guarantee it'll look good.
[–]habitsofwaste 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Shorten the sides up for sure. You don't need to buzz it all. You could keep the top longer but you'll need to get the top shorter in the back tapering up to the front. But if you wanted to top shorter too that would work. Always get pics of what you want and bring it to the barber/salon.
[–]chipsup 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
One thing that has worked for me is what is called the "Hitler Youth" haircut. Basically you want to keep it long on top and quite short on the sides. It has helped me to make my face appear more square and masculine, really emphasizing the jawline and de-emphasizing cheekbones.
Here is a pretty standard and non-drastic version.

COMMENTARY | On February 23, 2013, UFC 157 will be nothing less than historic. Current UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will face former marine Liz Carmouche. This event will mark the first time that a female match-up will headline a UFC pay-per-view event. In fact, it will also represent the first time that a female bout takes place in the UFC...period. Irrespective of the outcome, women's mixed martial arts has made its way to the UFC, and will foster in a new wave of aspiring female fighters in the process.
The co-main event will feature former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida against the last Pride light heavyweight champion, Dan Henderson. The following highlights some keys to victory for said combatants, and underscores the significance of each match-up:
Ronda Rousey: The former Olympian's grappling game is bar none. She is a world-class judoka, having been the first American woman to ever medal in Judo at an Olympic Games. Since then, Rousey has expanded her arsenal, which includes wrestling and high level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Given that, the California native is undefeated and has submitted every one of her opponents via armbar. As the old adage states: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Rousey will benefit from making this a grappling match, taking Carmouche down, only to submit her thereafter.
It is difficult to imagine that Rousey's game plan will be any different from that of her past. The former Strikeforce champion's victories are predicated upon her elite grappling skills, the likes of which other female competitors have yet to emulate. If the past is of any indication, and if Rousey is allowed to impose her will upon Carmouche, it will be a very short and disappointing night for the challenger.
Liz Carmouche: The former U.S. Marine Sergeant is a legitimate opponent and threat to Rousey's championship belt. She has defeated half of her opponents by knockout and enjoys the stand-up game significantly. Avoiding the takedown and delivering strikes from the outside may lead Carmouche to victory. She is a game opponent. The usage of her speed and technical striking will aid Carmouche in her quest to derail the current face of women's mixed martial arts.
Historical Significance: A win for Rousey will solidify her status as the UFC's legitimate bantamweight champion. Her star power and presence at the helm of the division will more than likely usher in more female talent and opportunities, not only for herself, but for women who aspire to fight in the UFC.
For Carmouche, a victory at UFC 157 would almost certainly catapult her to stardom. Dethroning a famous, undefeated champion is significant; especially one who has brought a tremendous amount of attention to women's mixed martial arts and to the UFC.
Lyoto Machida: The former UFC light heavyweight champion is on a mission to regain his title. He became champion in 2009 by remaining elusive and counter-striking in his matches. Machida's unorthodox style of fighting would prove beneficial to him against his opponent at UFC 157. Henderson sports heavy hands and has the ability to knockout anyone he faces. Therefore, Machida's "touch and go" style may present problems for his 42 year-old opponent.
However, Machida's key to victory may actually be found in his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In Henderson's last two losses, he was controlled on the ground. When he fought Anderson Silva at UFC 82, he was dominated on the ground and eventually submitted. In his bout against Jake Shields at Strikeforce: Nashville, he was completely overwhelmed by Shield's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling skills, having spent much of the fight mounted and playing defense. Even though he won his bout against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 139, again, he spent rounds four and five mounted, facing submission at any given moment. Therefore, Machida may wish to test Henderson's stamina in the later rounds and exploit his takedown defense.
Dan Henderson: The California native enjoys the benefits of his heavy hands. He has made a career out of winning championships by knocking out opponents, such as Fedor Emelianenko, Renato Sobral, Michael Bisping, and Wanderlei Silva, in the process. Machida can be knocked out, as was proven in his UFC 113 fight against Rua. The Brazilian will have to implement an excellent game plan and avoid being hit by a Henderson haymaker at any point in the match-up this Saturday night. If his laundry list of knockout victims is of any indication, keeping the fight standing and landing one of his patented "H-bombs" would serve Henderson well in quest to emerge a victor at UFC 157.
Title Shot Implications: Dana White stated in a recent interview that should Alexander Gustafsson beat Gegard Mousasi at UFC on Fuel TV 9: Gustafsson vs. Mousasi, he would be in line for a title shot. Believing that a win at UFC 157 yielded a title shot, Machida stated: "I believe, out of this fight, whoever wins should definitely be the contender for the title. If we're number one and number two then the title shot should definitely be on the line in this fight."
However, Henderson is currently more focused on Machida than on any future title shot. In an interview, he stated, "Just like any fight nowadays, there's a lot on the line, and he's definitely going to be a huge challenge. I'm not really looking past it. I just want to make sure my game plan is there, my mind is in this fight, and we'll see what happens after that."
Title shot or not, a match-up between two former world champions is bound to evoke excitement and result in one of the most awe-inspiring moments of the year.
Clinton Alexander Bullock has been a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner for many years. He has studied mixed martial arts for 12 years and has been published in the Philadelphia Sunday Sun Newspaper, Next Step Magazine, and Yahoo! News. Follow him on Facebook & Twitter @clintonbullock.

My Discussions
My Email Digests
Is anyone up for a January check-in? Is taking care of YOU one of your New Year's resolutions? I know that I have to remind myself of that often.
Let us know what's happening,
Unlike many of the people who come here, I'm not a caregiver. I first came to this board to ask a question regarding my uncle, who had Alzheimer's, and whose wife was his caregiver. I was always trying to find out things that might help them and make life a little easier for my aunt.
I've learned a great deal about Alzheimer's from people here, and from doing research when someone came here with a question or problem. My heart has broken for so many of the people who have passed through here.
All of the regulars seem to have gone missing for the past couple of months, and I wonder about them often. I guess that's one of the tough things about a board like this -- when you stop hearing from people, you never know why.
Anyway, you are so right, Judy, that caregivers tend to ignore their own health and needs because they often just don't have the time to think about themselves, or they feel selfish if they do. I saw in my aunt that taking care of my uncle was having a terrible effect on her physically, mentally and psychologically, but nobody could convince her to accept help until shortly before my uncle died.
Do you have an Alzheimer's patient in your family, Judy? From your post, it sounds as though you may be a caregiver yourself.
Happy new year to everyone. If any of the old regulars are reading this, I hope you'll let us know how you're doing. And, of course, we hope that new people will look to this board for advice and support -- we'll do our very best to help.
I had to re-register since I changed my email address.I did not want to, but I finally did.
I am having trouble with my husband who is my caregiver. He does not know what to do when I make a request. He gives in to every thing I say.
I do not know what to do. Do I sign myself into a retirement home to make it easy for him? I do not want too.
I looked at his computer and found Alzheimer's. I checked to see what he found out. He had down all of the negative things about Alzheimer's. Nothing positive.
My husband does have my son to give him a break.
Since I had to re-register, I noticed that my picture is no longer there. How do I get to my profile to put in a picture?
Carol, here is something important for a caregiver. I feel that it is the most important thing there is with Alzheimer's.
It is the legal matters. It is best to take care of that while the person is in the early stages. That way you can find out what the person wants.
I made out my legal papers in 2007. I was diagnosed in October of 2011. My legal papers are still good, since I made them out four years before I became diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
I believe that is important for everyone to do, good health or not. You never know what is going to happen down the future.
The link is: http://www.ahaf.org/alzheimer's/livingwith/legalmatters.html
Please look it up!! I have read what caregivers go through and legal matters are the main one.
It's been a while since I put my picture on my profile, but I think that all you have to do is click on your user name in any of your posts. That will take you to a page where you can edit your profile, and you can click on "change my picture" and then follow the instructions.
You're definitely right about making sure legal documents are all in order. I took care of that several years ago -- medical power of attorney, living will, general power of attorney, will, etc. Unfortunately, my husband hasn't done any of that yet. Since we're both 60, he needs to get those things done.
You're also right that it's something Alzheimer's patients especially need to have in place. It's good that you did that so long before your diagnosis.
How have you been doing? Are you still on oral Exelon? Do you think it's helping?
I hope you'll stay in touch. I've missed hearing from you, Dave, Odie, Marilyn and others.
Best wishes.
I did put in a picture in my profile. I will see if it shows up here. If not, I will try your suggestion.
I am doing all right on the oral Exelon. I believe it is helping.
My husband has not done any legal documents either. That worries me. I have talked to him about it. He just says when the time comes it comes.
That means that I will have to get an attorney and have a friend or relative sign it for him.In CA, we will have to have a hearing in court.
It would be so much easier if he did it now. You never know what is going to happen. My doctor died at the age of 40 in a car accident. People are not watching the road while they drive. My husband does, but that will not prevent him from being severely injured in a car accident.
He is 70 years old, now. He is still healthy, as far as I know.
In reading your posts, I don't think anyone would ever guess that you have Alzheimer's, so your requests probably aren't much of a problem right now. There may come a time, though, when you're asking for things that aren't in your best interest, or not wanting to do things that are. If that happens, he needs to know how to handle it, rather than just giving in.
If you could get him to go, it might be good for the two of you to join an Alzheimer's support group. Your husband could learn so much about Alzheimer's and caregiving, and you could both get emotional and practical support from people who have been traveling the same road. It might also help lessen the fear both of you may have for the future.
I see in your most recent post that your husband has refused to get his legal documents taken care of, and that must be really frustrating. I think that some people think it's tempting fate to make a will, etc., and some people just refuse to face the fact that some day, they're going to die. Could you let your son know how much this bothers you, and ask him to talk to your husband about it?
You've heard this before from this group, but I have so much admiration for the way you're facing your disease. I wonder if that's part of the reason that it seems to be progressing pretty slowly (at least as far as I can see here). As I said, if you hadn't told us you have Alzheimer's, I never would have guessed.
I'm glad the Exelon seems to be working.
We live in a small town with small towns around us. I will check and see if they have an Alzheimer's support group somewhere in the county. That is a great idea. I will check with the Senior Center, they always have great ideas.
My son has his legal documents. He knows the importance of it. He is going to have to change his, though. I am the one who is signed as the one who will decide his medical descions. I will not be able to anymore. I will have him ask to change his papers to someone he can trust. There are many people in our religion who will be glad to do it.
In some ways, I am getting worse. I have noticed them and my husband and friends overlook it. I will change to these conditions and see if it helps.
My husband took out the shower glass and put in shower curtains. They work just as good and are safer. I have a tendency to fall. I had a fall once and it was in the shower. I fell right through the shower curtain. If I had fallen through glass, I might not be here.
Glad to be here,
I hope you're able to find a support group -- that would be great for both you and your husband.
It's good that your son is so conscientious about his legal documents. Maybe he can convince your husband he needs to get his taken care of because it's causing you stress that is not good for you.
I'm sorry that you think you're getting worse in some ways, but I guess it's good that you recognize it so you can try to make adjustments for it.
Replacing the shower glass with a curtain sounds like a great idea! Do you have a grab bar in your shower? When I had a hip replaced a couple of years ago, my husband got one for me and, even though I haven't had a problem falling or losing balance, it makes me feel better to know it's there. He got it at a local medical supply store -- it's the kind that attaches with strong suction cups, so it will work on any surface and doesn't require tools.
I'm glad you're here, too!
Right now the changes are small but even my husband and my friends notice it. They do not say anything and come and visit me when they notice a notable change.
Like, I wanted to say one thing and another came out of my mouth. I realized it afterwards. That was at one of my meetings. We make comments, if we are called on. I knew the answer and said the wrong thing. That is one of the changes. I do not know how many times that has happened.
I looked at my previous post. It looks like I said that I do not have an Advance Directive. I do. My husband ls my health care agent. He will do what he has to do. He has my permission to put me in a home when he can no longer take care of me at home.
I have grab bars in the shower. We hired someone to put them in. I feel that the ones that go in with the screws make me feel safer.
Here is a link for legal matters:
Everyone should have an Advance Directive, no matter what their health condition. You never know when something will happen.
This is the first time I've been on this particular page. I am a 75 yr old caregive of my 74 yr. old husband who is in moderate stage Alzheimers. He also has diabetes.
At first I felt that I should give all my time watching over my husband and not going out with friends. One day I was reading on Web MD and found that the #1 mistake caregivers do is to ignore themselves and give up socializing.
I am a Red Hatter and I gave up going out with the girls once a month because it was usually for lunch and I felt I needed to eat lunch with my husband. I had not discussed this with him.
After I realized what I was doing to myself, I talked it over with my husband and he said he wanted me to go out and enjoy myself. Now, even when I would rather not go out, I force myself. I enjoy the girls when I get there and feel better when I get home.
A Community Health Representative from my husbands Tribe, comes to visit him every Tuesday. She helps him with his distribution of daily meds in his pill box and takes his vital signs. Now she has begun to take care of me, monitoring my vitals.
This is a great comfort and support system for both of us. There is an Alzheimers support group in our area. I have talked to them and was told it is only for caregivers. My husband said he wanted to attend also. I am concerned that he will here all the 'horror' stories and get depressed. Should I take him anyway? Thanks for giving me this opportunity.
I'm new in this discussion. I, too, have my legal papers in order. We were advised to make sure that the medical power of attorney was a Durable medical power of attorney.
I review our papers often. We, too, drew up our papers several years ago before my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimers. When I made additions to our living trust, I typed them out as a supplement and had my signature notarized. I did get an attornies advice and this seems to be a legal procedure without going through an attorney.

I am glad to hear from a caregiver. My husband is my caregiver.
I have tried to go into the caregiver's section here, but once they find out that I am the one with Alzheimer's, they will not talk to me.
It is sad but Alzheimer's is "still in the closet." I tell everyone anyway. If your support group is only for caregiver's, I would not take him with you. They will only tell him to leave. That would hurt him more than help him. Put him in here where he can talk to us.
Do you get your husband to socialize? It is very important that he does. Maybe you can take him out to breakfast or a picnic once in a while. Even just going for a walk will get him out of the house.
Yes, we do socialize. We eat lunch with the Indian community five days a week. We have friends at each location. I always try to have my husband to sit by the men and most of the time, he can carry on a conversation.
We also have young grandchildren who love to spend the night with us. I feel this is important not only for my husband, but for the children to remember the good times with grandpa. We do go out to eat once in a while. We recently celebrated our 53rd wedding anniversary. We have 'Wellness Centers' available to us with all kinds of exercise equipment. I encourage him to do as much exercise as he can. He has poor circulation in his legs due to diabetes. He is improving.
It is sad that there aren't support groups for the Alz. patients.
He will not sit at the computer with me with the exception of less than 5 minutes looking at family/friends notes and pictures.
I pray for encouragement for you and for your support.
Hurray for you for taking care of yourself. I'm so glad you resumed those luncheons with the girls. Being with people is so important, for both you and your husband. I used to lead support groups for people with Alzheimer's and know how important that is.
Check with your support group leader and contact the
Alzheimer's Assn. www.alz.org or 800-272-3900 - they have groups for your husband. They also have online services for him
. Also check out your local Veterans Administration. They sometimes run groups for couples regardless of former military status.
Some communities have become part of a movement called the Alzheimer's Cafe where those with Alzheimer's can stop by and be welcomed.
If there are no groups for him, consider asking your support group members if your husband could visit, and they could tailor their comments accordingly.

My credit card company, almost every retailer, and my bank, insurance company, and google - buy and sell lists with personal information on them. It is a LEGAL thing to do. Your point is misguided.
Sounds like this so-called " reporter" doesn't want to do ANY investigating so he is whining that Crutcher won't do his job for him. He just wants to SLAM the MAN if he won't grant an interview. I watched Maafa21 all the way through to the CREDITS - something you obviously did not do. Because I saw listed in the credits and ALL throughout the film - documents, books, and research from Margaret Sanger's writings and many other Planned Parenthood founders as well. They were all on screen clear as day. Maafa21 quotes Sanger's Autobiography, showing it on screen, something Crutcher appears to have in his possession, where Sanger admits to speaking with the KLAN. Maafa21 also shows, clearly on screen, many of Sanger's Birth Control Review Publications, which ironically are all scanned IN FULL on Mark Crutcher's websites for ANYONE, including this reporter to read: (Perhaps NYU could call Crutcher for Sanger documents and ideology as well). But the most damming evidence that this paper and this reporter is slamming Crutcher without cause, is the fact that Maafa21 clearly lists the Sophie Smith College as a credit source. If you log onto the Sophie Smith College website (too easy for this reporter to do, I guess) you will see it is also a library which houses papers of Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood. I would be curious what the "credentials" for this reporter are, since he questions Crutcher's and is clearly on a witch hunt. This paper seems to be AGENDA and not FACT driven because they CANNOT refute the DOCUMENTS shown in Maafa21 - so they are attacking the reputation of the producer. Research is Research and anyone can read and listen to Sanger's words for themselves and come to a conclusion that she was RACIST. To discredit an organization, a man, and the film Maafa21 because you were to dam lazy to watch Maafa21 or to gather the documents Maafa21 showed, and list the MANY MANY sources in the credits proves that Crutcher was right to blow you off.
Why haven't you published my comments??????

Inductive Charging
The term inductive charging continues to rise in popularity and is being heavily used by companies that manufacture wireless chargers. This wireless transmission system depends greatly on a magnetic field for the transfer of electricity which makes it possible for compatible devices to receive power through its current instead of using conductive cables. It can be defined as a process by which magnetic fields relocate electricity from an external source, in this case the charger, to a mobile device. With the use of a compatible device, in many cases this can be a plug or sleeve, it is possible for electricity to move through the air and start charging the batteries in those phones or gadgets. With this system, the user does not need to worry if the device falls off or if the connection is blocked by dust because the devices will keep on receiving power.
For the great majority of wireless chargers in the market, a sleeve or case is usually needed before the charging process can begin. They redirect power from the receiver to the battery by means of the charging ports. These cases retain the receiver in close proximity to the source of the magnetic field, which allows for the continuous transfer of electricity. Inductive charging is an innovative system but it requires direct contact through the use of sleeves or tips which has led many consumers to question its functionality when compared to standard contact-point chargers.
As mentioned before, inductive charging creates a magnetic field that is able to transfer electricity through the air. As opposed to contact point chargers, these must have constant contact in order to continue the charging process. Similar to standard electric plugs, the metal has to remain connected in order to keep the flow of electricity going. So, if the prongs become detached or loose, the devices might not obtain the amount of charging they need. Inductive charging eliminates this aspect of the charging process, as they don't require contact to exchange power.
Unfortunately, although they claim to have harnessed the power of inductive charging, many of the wireless chargers currently in the market have proved to be inefficient and not functional. Until a better technology is developed, users are better off purchasing chargers that work through a conductive system like those manufactured by IDAPT. The company offers consumers exceptional solutions to their charging dilemmas as they manufacture stations compatible with most devices in existence and capable of charging various devices simultaneously. Affordable and easily available for purchase, IDAPT's chargers cater to a wide range of consumers and deliver outstanding options to those who want to maintain their phones and gadgets juiced at all times.

In the late 1800s, the Phillips and Philadelphia wharves became the shipping locus for not only the city, but for the North Shore and Merrimack Valley mill cities.
The railroads that provided the coal trans-shipment became a driving force for development. In the late 1800s, the railroad expansion necessitated filling in shorelines, coves, ponds and mudflats along the city's coastline. As shown in the detail of the 1911 city map, the railroads starting on these wharves ran across Derby Street and along the Collins Cove waterfront to Bridge Street where it headed north.
While coal was king, it was also a dangerous commodity. As monster barges made deliveries of 3000 to 5000 tons of coal at a time, those mountains of coal needed to be watched over and kept safe from fires which, if ignited, could and would burn for days.
Over the years, there were several fires that burned for days before they could be suppressed. One can only imagine what the pollution index would have been during those days.
While manufacturing continued to grow, the port of Salem did not. From high tonnage in the 1870s and 1880s, it gradually decreased with better port and rail facilities in Boston. The foreign trade that had been such a staple of the Salem Port disappeared during this time period.
In 1855, the last ship bringing a cargo from Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia) entered port; in 1858, the last entry from Manila arrived and in May of 1870, the last shipment of goods from Zanzibar, East Africa, arrived. The last shipments from Cayenne in South America's French Guiana made port in Salem in 1877. In 1878, only two vessels cleared the Salem Port in the entire year; one for the West Indies and the other for Liverpool.
At the height of Salem's trading days, seven vessels would clear in a week. The age of maritime trade had closed on Salem.
While the trans-shipment of coal continued, Salem looked more to its manufacturing base for its future. Business leaders at the turn of the century saw shoe factories, tanneries and the expansion of the power plant on Peabody Street as signs of Salem keeping pace with progress. There were a number of articles in the newspaper expressing the hope that Salem would become a major freight center for the growing Boston and Maine Railroad line. They hoped that by filling in such places as the Mill Pond, there would be a major freight terminal established that would rival Boston.
In 1907, the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company, having already purchased the Phillips Wharf property, proposed that they be allowed to buy the flats at the bottom of Derby Street so they could expand their holdings. Because this land belonged to the city, there was much discussion that resulted in the unique approach of calling a special town meeting even though Salem had a city government at the time.
According to the Salem News of Feb. 25, 1907, the procedure was the same as a town meeting. While it was an official proceeding, the issue could only be discussed and not acted upon, which was the purview of the city council. The thought was that the city council might be influenced, but not bound by any resolutions brought up. The question to be discussed was to consider the expediency of selling city lands and flats.
After much discussion, there was a vote of 88 in favor of and four opposed to selling or leasing the land. The meeting was apparently dominated by those who hoped Salem would become a major coal terminal. People felt this powerful company would move its shipping from Boston as well as have a hand in getting federal funding to deepen the harbor so bigger ships could use the port. At the time, the deliveries of coal were mostly going to Boston.
With city approval, the land where a paint manufacturing plant was, as well as the mud flats, was sold to the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company.
During the course of the early years of the 20th century, coal distribution continued in Salem but lessened and became more for local consumption and not trans-shipment. The mills of the north were being serviced by the rails out of Boston.
At the same time, the harbor was silting up and having an impact on shipping. A telling episode occurred in 1913. The Salem Bay Line, a steamship freight business, was becoming successful shipping goods between Salem and Boston. Though the company considered adding a boat, instead, they had to cease operations after being grounded dozens of times. Where the harbor channel was supposed to be 10 feet deep, it really was only six feet deep and the ship was unable to navigate. As the manager said, "Steamers cannot run on dry land, as they are not built that way, but like ducks must have water."
By 1916, the Philadelphia & Reading wharf had all but shut down. The company pockets and coal moving equipment lay idle. For a number of reasons, the hopes and plans for a major coal operation never came to be. For the next three years, the only thing happening here was the rusting of equipment and rail lines. The company ignored local pleas to either use the property or sell it to someone who would use it. The situation became so dire that legislation was filed to take the wharf by eminent domain.
During 1921, the coal conveyors were being demolished on the wharf while the stone work was crumbling from the wear and tear of the ocean. Philadelphia & Reading spent minimal money to maintain the stonework but were adamant that the coal business would not return because freight rates were prohibitive.
One can be certain that having an unused wharf did not go unnoticed by local rum runners during this time of Prohibition. It appears that this was a favorite unloading spot until a random police patrol in Sept 1923 noticed the activity. After staking out the area for several early morning hours, the officer seized a 1000 gallons of illegal liquor being unloaded here.
After years of disuse in 1923, the Tenney Company, the managers of Salem Electric Light, purchased the Phillips Wharf and other property totaling nearly ten acres of land as well as the mud flats with the intent of building a super power plant on the site. The new owners then sold the equipment and buildings on the wharf to Pickering Coal Company, which moved the equipment to their property at Derby and Union streets, (currently the Pickering Wharf area).
With the removal of the coal equipment, the Tenney Company set to work to prepare the site for their super power plant, which was estimated to cost $10 million. In 1924, they brought in the Middlesex, an ocean going vessel called a sand-sucker, to literally vacuum up sand from the harbor bottom and shoot it onto the flats behind a granite retaining wall, making new land for the plant while deepening the ship channel.
This process lasted many months, filling in the mud flat area between Phillips Wharf and the Philadelphia Pier as well as the cove near Derby Street. It was a difficult and time consuming process where parts had to be shored up with gravel and rocks to stabilize the ground so that coal could be stored on it. It was believed that the land wouldn't be completely stable for two to three years.
While filling in the flats, workers also constructed a huge coal bridge to transport coal from ships and storage areas to the power plant. Rail lines in a loop from Derby Street were also added. By the time they were done using the sand-sucker, they had converted nearly 30 acres of mud flats into waterfront land for the future power plant.
The plan was to build the power plant in units where each unit would have a capacity of approximately 100,000 kilowatts. As necessitated, more units would be added as the proposed distribution network of some 60 miles of high tension transmission wires grew. In the years before the plant was to be built, the coal deliveries would be concentrated in Salem and distributed by rail and truck to
other electric company plants throughout the area.
During the early to mid 1920s, when there were coal shortages, briquettes became popular. Briquettes are made by chemically treating and pressing soft coal, making it burn more efficiently. Tenney Corporation, while supplying coal to power plants, also built a briquette factory on its property, which was very successful throughout the 1920s.
During the 20s and 30s, amid the Depression era, the coal business on the former Phillips Wharf did well, supplying coal to a number of power plants. For a number of economic reasons as well as World War II, construction of the super power plant didn't start until 1948. With new piers, upgraded conveyor systems and a network of high tension wiring, the first phase of the power plant went on line in November 1951. Its cost at that time was set at $30 million.
Once this coal- or oil-burning unit was running, they started on phase two, which was the addition of another unit which was completed in late 1952. New England Power continued to run the plant and in 1958 added another unit. These units used oil to run the turbines.
In 1978, the fourth and final unit was added. Amid shortages of high priced oil in the late 1970s, the plant requested and received permission to switch from oil to coal, thus saving 180,000 barrels of oil a month. They completed the conversion
of two units to coal by 1982. At that time, three units were coal burning while one burned oil.
In 1998, US Gen, a subdivision of Pacific Gas & Electric, bought the plant. In 2003, US Gen filed for bankruptcy and a buyer was sought for the plant. In 2005, Dominion purchased the plant.
Last week, Dominion officially .
Once again, Salem is faced with choices on what should happen with this property.
Luckily, we have time to thoughtfully consider future uses rather than succumb to anxiety and look for the quick fix that will be the least disruptive. It seems that when Salem has tried to be accommodating in the hope of growth, it hasn't always worked well.
With good input and thoughtful consideration of what is best for the city, apart from what is going to generate the most taxes, this land, which is so steeped in Salem's maritime history, will once again be a vibrant positive for Salem and our harbor neighbors. It is not so much a matter of taxes as a quality of life issue for this and future Salemites. Let us hope future generations will be proud of the choices we make.
Thank you to Nelson Dionne for sharing some source material for this article.

Dr. Mike McCoy is one of three finalists for the 4th Annual Cox Conserves Heroes award for his decades of commitment to preserving outdoor spaces.
Voting ends Sept. 10 at 5 p.m.
If McCoy wins, the nonprofit he founded, the Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association (), may receive up to $5,000. SWIA works on wetland restoration projects in the estuary and elsewhere.
A video about all three finalists can be viewed on the Cox Conserves Heroes website.
Along with other environmentalists and community residents, Mike and his wife Patricia worked for years to earn protection for the Tijuana Estuary, which became a major issue of conflict in IB for much of the 1970s.
A decade prior, the City of Imperial Beach and developers began to work on plans to dredge the area and build a marina.
In 1971, in an effort to preserve one of California's last coastal wetlands, veterarinarian Dr. Mike McCoy began to organize with local residents and fellow environmentalists to oppose the plans.
As the issue gained more and more attention, according to a city history book, Imperial Beach: A Pictoral History, the couple were repeatedly threatened, and in 1980 someone loosened the lug nuts on their car and they were almost killed while driving on the freeway.
In spring 1980, voters ratified Proposition A, approving the marina project.
But later that year, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services purchased the land and established the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge. The area would become a National Estuarine Research Reserve a year later.
Today, the remains the largest coastal wetland of Southern California and one of its is named after Mike and Patricia McCoy.
Debi Carey is SWIA's adiministrative director.
McCoy's commitment doesn't end at the estuary, she said, noting that he has played a role in the establishment of Living Coast Discovery Center and Otay Valley Regional Park in Chula Vista, and more recently earning for land near the Tijuana River.
"Anything to do to with protecting the environment and educating people about the value of the environment, he's all for it," she said.
"It never ends. We say 'The guy just doesn't know how to say no," she said. "He's tireless. Right now he's on vacation in his cabin in Colorado, and you can be sure he's working on something there too."
Carey described McCoy as a person with unique attributes: persistant and determined, serious about conservation, but also likes a good joke and talking to people.
"Probably his last breath will be spent on some project he's working on to protect the environment for everybody," she said.
McCoy still works part-time at the .

Copyright Information
FROM: GBOD, The General Board of Discipleship, Nashville
I returned last week from the 2007 national convocation of The Fellowship of United Methodists in Music and Worship Arts. Among other things, I taught two classes on copyright and licensing for church musicians and pastors. One of the questions that always comes up in these classes is "Are they enforcing these laws? Is anyone being caught and going to jail?" The answer to both questions is "Yes." An Associated Press release in this morning's (8/1/07) Nashville newspaper, The Tennessean, (p.2E) reports that local authorities recently arrested a man who copied hundreds of CDs and DVDs and was selling them from the trunk of his car. He was sentenced in Federal Court this week to 10 months in prison for copyright violation. At the time of his arrest, authorities found more than 500 copied recordings and films in his car, along with recording equipment powered by his car battery, blank CDs and DVDs, some of which were still being shown in theaters, plus $11,000 worth of illegally recorded CDs and DVDs and $10,000 in cash. The copies will be destroyed and the cash paid to the victim industries as restitution. The U.S. Attorney said, "Violations of intellectual property crimes and copyright laws such as this occupy a high priority with both the Department of Justice and this U.S. Attorney's office in particular…."What does this mean for local churches? It means that if you are doing any of the following without the proper permissions or licenses, you're in danger:
- Showing videos at your church youth group, child care, camps, retreats, or Sunday Schools, even if those videos are legally rented or purchased.
- Showing film clips in worship as sermon illustrations.
- Video recording your worship services, choir concerts, children's musicals, or anything else that contains copyrighted music.
- Making audio recordings of services, concerts, musicals, or anything else that contains copyrighted music.
- Making copies of original recordings of choir or solo music, accompaniment tracks, or by original artists, and giving or selling them to your choir members so that they can practice the music or learn their parts outside of rehearsal.
- Selling or giving away audio or visual recordings containing copyrighted music, including to performers, parents, members, or shut-ins.
- Making or allowing the making of audio or video recordings of weddings or funerals in your church that contain copyrighted music.
- Radio broadcasting or TV telecasting, live or pre-recorded, of worship services containing copyrighted music.

If you have 13 minutes to spare today, use it to watch this youtube video. I don't know much about Justin Sears, the high-schooler featured. It looks like Penn was in his top 8 schools (but not top 4, as you'll see in the video), and he's rated a solid 86 by ESPN. But that's not the point.
The point is that Plainfield Sports News made an awkward, 13-minute video of his college decision, in the same vein as LeBron James' ESPN spot a year and a half ago. If you're strapped for time, fast forward to 9 minutes in, when he starts talking about colleges.

KUSA - In 1981, rock band Loverboy perhaps summed up the function of Friday night, Saturday and Sunday best with the lyric "everybody's working for the weekend."
And this week, you can work for the opportunity to attend Buffalo Bill Days, drink copious amounts of beer from more than 100 brewers, listen to music that -- unless you're the biggest music snob ever -- you've probably never heard before and watch the best dancers in the world congregate in one of the most beautiful cities in the state.
Buffalo Bill Days – July 23-27 – Golden - http://bit.ly/1tGLWcd
For those about to grow an amazing moustache, we salute you. And there is no better moustache to salute than American soldier, bison hunter and showman Buffalo Bill's. Buffalo Bill Days dates back to the 1940s, when it was simply a trail ride up Lookout Mountain to Buffalo Bill's grave. Now, it's the biggest community festival in Golden, with entertainment including a car show, Cody's Wild West, a parade and performances by Chris Daniels and the Kings, and the Long Run, "Colorado's Tribute to the Eagles." We know this is a cliché, but we're going to say it anyway: Yee haw!
El Paso County Fair –July 24-26 - Calhan - http://bit.ly/UqIxlC
Fun fact: The El Paso County Fair began as a potato festival in 1905 (the notion of a potato festival actually sounds pretty awesome). Now in its 109th year, the festival has everything from a monkey show to a backseat driver contest to a demolition derby to entertainment from the Exit West Band on Saturday. You can buy tickets at the gates. It costs $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, $3 for kids 3-12 years old and is free for kids under 3.
UMS – July 24-27 – Various venues on South Broadway – http://bit.ly/SbgOVp
Do you ever say to yourself: "Golly, I wish that my jeans could be a little tighter!" even if your jeans are tight enough? Do you wear large black-rimmed glasses not because you have a vision problem, but simply for fashion? Do you forego Colorado's craft beer scene in favor of PBR? If so, you'll probably really enjoy the Underground Music Showcase. But even if you're not of the hipster variety (note: there's nothing wrong with hipsters), there's a lot to love about Colorado's premier indie music festival, which is now in its 14th year. More than 400 local and national acts will be showcased across more than 20 awesome venues in Denver over four days. Headliners include Blonde Redhead (it's a thing), Real Estate (who are fantastic) and People Under the Stairs (not to be confused with Harry Potter). Other performers include local indie folk act Covenhoven, party rap group BMMZK and live virtuoso Kitty Crimes.
RockyGrass 2014 – July 25-27 - Lyons - http://bit.ly/WKXEb1
The glow of the sunset off of Colorado's foothills compounded with the St. Vrain river makes Planet Bluegrass hands down one of Colorado's best concert venues, and RockyGrass is simply one of the best shows you can see there all year. The festival opens with the sound of bagpipes, but that's quickly replaced by some of the best bluegrass artists in the country. Another big part of the RockyGrass experience? Walking through the campground at night, where festivarians (as they are called) create their own jam sessions.
Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Across America – July 25 – Civic Center Park - http://bit.ly/1tgWane
If it takes an extended amount of time to scroll through the full list of a brewers on a beer festival's website, you know it's gotta be good. More than 200 craft beers from 100 breweries from Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming will be there. And don't worry about being left hungry when the beer inevitably hits you: you can buy food from a dozen food carts, including Moe's BBQ, Cilantro Truck, Crock Spot and Fried Pie Mama. Equally importantly, you can dance to Oregon-based MarchFourth Marching Band, a group that blends burlesque, vaudeville, horn-driven funk and actual marching band stuff. Tickets are $64, and they include a commemorative tasting glass.
Union Station Grand Opening – July 26 – Denver - http://bit.ly/1nYfYTB
What better way to celebrate a $54 million remodeling project (which includes a totally rad hotel and new restaurants and stores) than a party? Like most good parties, the festivities begin at 10 a.m., with opening ceremonies starting at noon. The free(!) event has everything from beer, to food, to fun (that's according to the website) and a plethora of family-friendly activities. Featured bands include Rachel and the Kings, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers and the Railbenders (see what they did there?). Even better? Uber is giving new riders $20 off if they take the ride service to the block party.
26th annual Kid's Cure for Cancer – July 26 – Anschutz Campus, Aurora - http://bit.ly/1pgIyAU
Walk, run and enjoy a 2-mile run through the Anschutz Medical Campus to raise money for Brent's Place, a housing facility for kids with life-threatening cancer. There's no registration fee, but Brent's Place asks that participants raise $93 – an amount equal to how much it costs families to spend one night at the facility. The run kicks off at 9 a.m. and afterwards, you can enjoy a pancake breakfast, activities for kids and live entertainment.
Cheesman Park Art Fest –July 26-27 – Cheesman Park - http://bit.ly/1nEFgvB
Since last year was so successful, the organizers of the Cheesman Park Art Fest figured they'd do it again! More than 100 artists and craftsmen will show off their work during the two-day outdoor festival. In addition to visual art, there is also slated to be live music, sustenance provided by local food trucks and activities for kids.
Vail International Dance Festival – July 27-August 9 - Vail - http://bit.ly/1hTRIWS
To quote the incomparable David Bowie, "Let's dance!" Or more specifically, watch talented performers around the world dance in one of Colorado's most beautiful places. The 26th season of the Vail International Dance Festival features performers from New York City Ballet MOVES, the Martha Graham Dance Company, stars from the Royal Ballet, the Harlem Dance company and many others. It all kicks off on Sunday, which a preview of the artists and companies you can expect to see during the rest of the festival. The Pennsylvania Ballet finishes things off with a performance of George Balanchine's Rubies. General admission tickets for opening night start at $20.

With the fall election 20 weeks away, the two major gubernatorial slates in Kentucky are beating the bushes for campaign dollars. So far, Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear and his running mate, Jerry Abramson, are out-raising Republican Senate President David Williams and his running mate Richie Farmer, but both campaigns are loading up for the fall campaign.
Gov. Steve Beshear's campaign says the list of Republicans backing the Kentucky Democrat's re-election bid this fall is growing. But the man Beshear faces this fall says there are many reasons why some Republicans would be donating to a sitting governor's re-election campaign. On the day before Kentucky Republicans held their post-primary unity rally at GOP headquarters in Frankfort, Gov. Beshear's campaign released the names of 70 Republicans backing his re-election bid. Among the names was former lieutenant governor Steve Pence.
In the wake of Tuesday's primary election, Kentucky Republicans, including Senate President David Williams, will hold a unity rally Saturday at state GOP headquarters in Frankfort. But the man Williams faces in the fall is already trying to spoil the party.

Texas A&M Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel burst on to the college football scene as a redshirt freshman as he build the legend of "Johnny Football" on his way to setting numerous records and constantly making mind-blowing plays. Unfortunately for Manziel, there are concerns about whether or not his skillset will translate to the NFL.
Regardless of when Manziel declares for the draft, he is going to be one of the most polarizing prospects in recent memory and for good reason.
One well-respected football mind, quarterback guru George Whifield, shared his thoughts on Manziel as a pro prospect and it went right along with what most people are saying at this time. Manziel is still raw and has a lot of growing to do before he is ready to make the jump to the next level.
"In terms of his position, he is just scratching the surface." Whitfield said, when speaking on the Draft Tracker podcast with Bucky Brooks of the NFL Network. "He is working towards getting bigger and stronger. At one point this spring he was up to 212, now he's at 208 pounds."
An additional note about Manziel's weight that could cause concern is that Whitfield says he was down to as little as 191 pounds after the season. For a quarterback that barely pushes six-foot tall, the size is a major concern.
It is clear to most talent evaluators that Manziel just isn't ready to make the jump to the next level just yet, but there is also a strong belief from those who know Manziel that he is preparing to bolt for the NFL after this season. If that is the decision that he ultimately makes, it could be a huge mistake.

The Motherf**ker with the Hat will be presented through Feb. 2. Vázquez, who earned a Tony Award nomination for portraying Cousin Julio, will repeat his work alongside fellow original cast members Chris Rock, Bobby Cannavale, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Annabella Sciorra.
All LATW performances are recorded and broadcast on LATW's nationally syndicated radio theatre series, "The Play's the Thing."
Here's how the play was described on Broadway: "Jackie and Veronica have been in love since the 8th grade. But now, Jackie is on parole and living clean and sober under the guidance of his sponsor, Ralph D, while still living and loving with his volatile soul mate Veronica who is fiercely loving, but far from sober. Still, their love is pure. And true. Nothing can come between them — except a hat."
The original production of The Motherf**ker with the Hat premiered on Broadway in 2011, where it ran for 112 regular performances. It earned Tony Award nominations for Best Play, and acting nominations for Cannavale, Rodriguez and Vazquez.

Obama's 2nd term: Will the governing ever start?
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows the President's approval ratings falling "as Americans take a dimmer view of his economic policies," The Post wrote. In December Obama had an 18-point advantage over Republicans on the question of whom Americans trusted more to handle the economy. Now it's a four-point gap: 44 percent to 40 percent. Having run through George W. Bush, "Wall Street" and Mitt Romney, Obama is running out of scapegoats.
It is becoming increasingly clear that this President has no interest in actually governing. Nor has he any interest in doing things he campaigned on and was elected to do, such as halve the federal debt and eliminate unnecessary and wasteful spending.
He said on Tuesday, "My goal is not to chase a balanced budget just for the sake of balance." It sure isn't. His goal is to build a legacy to himself in the form of an entitlement state larger than FDR or LBJ ever imagined. Enjoy.

Phoenix Staff Writer
Statistics show that one of every 170 Muskogee residents has a chance of being the victim of a violent crime while just one of every 220 Oklahomans faces that fate.
Discussions within the community addressing ways to curb Muskogee's crime rate have ranged from poverty reduction to early childhood intervention. Two candidates competing for the Ward I City Council seat, incumbent David Jones and second-time candidate John Lowrimore, placed their faith in a larger police force.
The Ward I candidates' made that argument despite the fact Muskogee's police force already exceeds the average for cities of comparable size. According to the International Association of Chiefs of Police, cities the size of Muskogee average 1.8 commissioned officers for every 1,000 residents.
Muskogee Police Department employed 91 commissioned officers in 2012, resulting with 2.32 officers for every 1,000 residents who live here. The per capita police to population ratio for cities of all sizes in the United States averages 2.5 officers for every 1,000 residents.
When Ward I candidates were asked what they believed the city could do to improve public safety and lower the crime rate, Jones said he would "support increasing the police force." Jones also said the city should ensure officers have "up-to-date technology and training" and make "it clear that criminals will be punished."
"I believe in strength in numbers," Jones said. "I would support any move to increase the number of policemen on the streets."
Lowrimore said he believes "the city needs to keep the number of police officers up." He also advocated the need for a counseling programs to those who lack a support network.
"I believe being a safe community is the No. 1 thing most people look at before moving into the town." Lowrimore said. "We want Muskogee to continue to be the greatest and safest it possibly can be by (making) wiser decisions on and off the streets."
With regard to the City Council's role in the effort to reduce Muskogee's crime rate, Jones said councilors should "support local law enforcement." That support, Jones said, would be demonstrated by making "sure that we have the right people making good decisions."
Jones' challenger said city councilors "should play a role in making the decisions on how many police officers" are on duty. Lowrimore also expressed support for counseling programs to address the "crime problems we see everyday."
The candidates also offered a couple of ideas they would be willing to present for consideration in an effort to improve public safety and lower Muskogee's crime rate. Jones said he would propose a public awareness program that would "better educate the citizens of Muskogee as to what our police force is doing to prevent crime."
Lowrimore said he "would present a counseling program that has people that can help people that are having issues." He envisions that program somewhat as a "second parent that people need if they don't have that extra support."
Jones and Lowrimore will square off Jan. 14 in the 2014 general election. Residents who are eligible to vote must be registered by today in order to cast a ballot in this contest, which is restricted to voters who live within the northeast Muskogee ward.

The Philippine leche flan uses 9-10 egg yolk and 1 tbsp lemon juice added to the melted sugar. Vanilla extract is sometimes used to flavor, never almond extract.
easy, but way too much almond, and too sweet. I like a good flan, and almond flavoring, and this was not appealing.
Easy to make. Absolutely delicious and you don't have to wait to eat it. It just mellows out and tastes better if you do!
