Does anyone know how old my Revere ware might be?
A friend just gave me her late aunt's copper bottomed Revere ware. (My friend doesn't cook.) The bottoms say made in Riverside CA. A little googling told me that Revere ware was first made in NY and now is not made in the US at all. I also read some complaints about the newer ones being poor quality. These seem nice and heavy. I especially like the double boiler. For no particular reason, I'm curious about the history of these pans. Any ideas?
Years late I see. During the 70's and early 80's I worked for companies that sold the plastic to the molders that made the handles. The oldest ones, that I'm aware of, had a two piece phenolic plastic handle that was screwed through a metal plate that was attached to the pan. The later ones, the ones from the 70s and later, at least while they were made in the US, were a one piece molding over a metal insert and the insert was screwed to the pan. If they are the two piece handles, you can take them apart and on the inside there is likely a molder's mark and also very likely a date stamp on the plastic handle. This was customary at the time. One of the early molders wad DieMolding Corporation and there mark was a DM that ran together, it's likely these were from the 50's or early 60's. I have some of both.
With most of my revere ware being over 63 years old - they are indestructible - I do have some from when I had my first apartment - and they too, back from 1984 are slightly lighter than the one's from 1946. I polish them after each use with 'twinkle' or other copper paste polish - and they look amazing hung up in the kitchen. I try and not put them into the oven too much - or if need be, only in a slow oven to keep foods warm, otherwise, these babies are work horses! Only my few Le Crusette pans are close favorites - ok and the one clad iron I have....Go Revere!
re: Divaliscious
I inherited all my mother's Revereware --purchased probably in the very early 1950's--when she passed away about four years ago. However, I just could NOT bring myself to use it. It was so irrevocably and completely imbued with her essence (she loved to cook and was excellent at it) after 50 years of use that it just NEVER seemed like it would be mine. It brought back a flood of memories but not all of them were good (as in most families, not all the meal times at our house were harmonious and joyful) and it just seemed "lost" without her, too.
I sold it at a yard sale and haven't regretted it at all. I kept the flatware that saw my family through Christmas dinners and Easter brunches and Saturday night suppers and big, family reunions after we'd grown up and made families of our own, but it was several years before I could bring myself to actually EAT from it. Now, though, that the grief at losing my mother and my father within 15 months of each other has eased, I'm very happy to open the silverware drawer and see it there. :-)
But not the pots and pans. And, anyway, I had my own All Clad tradition already started.
re: Beckyleach
I have mine, my mom's, and my grandmother's revere ware. I confess I don't use the frying pans, but everything else I use every day. I add to my collection whenever I see pans at thrift stores. I have a few pans I have warped the bottoms, my bad for leaving on stove.
Insofar as getting burned on sugar off the pan, if you have a pan whose black plastic handle is held on with a screw, you can remove it, turn the pan upside down, and run it in the oven when you use the self cleaning cycle. No guarantees, but most stains disappear in the cleaning cycle; cremated/obliterated. But DON'T trust the plastic handles in the oven.
re: Beckyleach
I have a post in another thread about some inherited Revere Ware, but I really need to know,now, how to get the film off. This stuff is probly 50 years old and I tried soaking it like I was told and it only turned white. Will Barkeeper;s Friend, or something else get it off or is there no hope for it?
re: spookie1026
If you are talking about film/gunk buildup on the copper bottoms, I use Barkeeper's Friend (made into a thick paste using water) and a mouse sander fitted with a Scotch Brite pad. Takes less than 5 minutes. You could just use the paste and the scotch brite pad - but it will take a lot of elbow grease.
New replacement parts for vintage era Revere Ware are now available at http://www.reverewareparts.com, including pan handles, pot handles, lid knobs, handle screws and nuts, and pressure cooker gaskets.
re: Revere Ware Parts
pressuregirl--Miss Vickie does not recommend using the older pressure cookers--it could be way dangerous. There could be minute cracks, etc. I agree with her--Use your old Reverware pressure cooker for decoration but nothing else.
I am new to the forum...so hope someone gets this ! I was lucky enough to find an old Revereware pressure cooker at a resale shop yesterday...it in in wonderful shape..looks like it was very gently used and even had the rack inside (it's a 6 qt)..but the giggler (you know) was missing...lo and behold, when going through the miscellaneous bins, I found it...(I can't believe my luck)..It is very heavy, has a copper bottom and the little giggler is round flat and black, enamel and has a small bail at the top to pull it off...does anyone know anything about this one...how many pounds of pressure? Does anyone have a booklet? I believe this was probably made between the 40s and 60s as all the new pressure cooker gigglers are stainless and this is black enamel...however, it's in such good shape it's hard to believe it's that old...I am elated as I love the feel and history behind all this old cookware...I just wonder how many pots of soup and chicken and dumplings were cooked for how many hungry little mouths... any other crazzies out there like me?
re: pressuregirl
pressuregirl, you can find the manual for your pressure cooker (as well as lots of other revere ware manuals) at http://www.reverewareparts.com on the "info & manuals" page. Despite fermented's word of caution, there are lots of people (like me) who continue to use their vintage Revere Ware pressure cookers still with no problems.
Hi All! I too love my Revere Ware, some came from my Mother and some I've purchsed. I wouldn't purchse any made after 1968, the copper bottoms are much thinner than the older stuff and just doesn't cook as well. Do any of you have the pressure cooker from the 1940's???? I can't locate a manual and am hoping that someone out there has one and I can get a copy. Thanks!
re: Babs53
Depending on the type of steam release valve, the first model (with a pressure gauge) was made for only two years (1940-1942). A revised model was brought out in 1942 but because iof the War, was not put in distribution until 1945 - it used a system of three small weighted disks and was very reliable and lasted until the 1960's. There were several versions put out since then, but nothing to equal that 1942-65 model. Don't give up on finding parts--The Shine Shop is getting them together as we e-mail!
Try this link for a great history & timelines of various Rever Ware model releases:
I know it last forever,my parents received there set when they were married back in 1952.The handle's are still tight the pans are still in top shape,this cook ware last forever.my mom has since added to her's over the years,she has never had to have any of it repaired or has never had to throw any of it out.Some of it is over 50 years old and when the bottoms are shined they look brand new.
My Revere Ware dates from 1948 just after I was married. I love it more than any cookware I've used since. I wouldn't buy the new stuff, because it isn't the sturdy material it used to be. Once in a while I see the old pieces at a thrift store, and I am
looking for one of those now, to replace a pot I ruined by burning sugar water in it. I have
tried every online method for cleaning it, and just can't get it all out.-
re: lurline
I can't totally agree on Revere Ware's decline in quality. My original set dates back to 1964. I purchased some replacement pieces in the late 1990's. They were equal in quality to the originals. About 5 years ago I purchased a 16 qt. Revere stock pot. Same stainless w/ copper clad bottom as the other pieces. But the spun finish inside of the pot is a bit rough. It was not smoothly polished out like the other pieces and the lid is not exactly a perfect fit. Functionally, it is just as good as all the other Revere Ware I've used. It distributes the heat very evenly. But the unpolished inside surface is harder to clean. And the lid, well, that's an aesthetic imperfection.
My mom always cleaned her RevereWare with Kleen King. This stuff is great and works in a snap. I use it for my copper bottom stainless steel pans also.
as an added note, I have my mom's old pots and pans also but I just got from a man friend an oval, very heavy fry pan that has the whole bottom and sides in copper and a real metal handle. The inscription on the bottom says PAUL REVERE in cursif ( handwriting, not printing) looks real old and none of my old stuff has Paul Revere on the bottom and copper sides as well as bottom. Anybody seen anything like this?
re: hilld
hilld -
That pan with the Paul Revere signature on the bottom is part of the Signature Collection that Revere put out from 1967 - 1985. it is copper on the outside bonded to stainless steel on the inside, and has a solid brass handle. Those pans were made more for show than use - the copper layer isn't thick enough to keep food from burning, and the handles are too thin to hold securely (they also get as hot as the pan itself!) They changed to a thick copper core with stainless on the inside and outside in 1984, but closed the line down in 1986-7, so it's hard to find.
re: roxlet
I have just inherited a friend's "Paul Revere Limited Edition" solid copper/stainless steel pots and pans. They have never been used and still have the sticker on the inside bottom. Should I remove the vinyl coating and use them ( are they better than what is out there today?) or should I try to sell them? Are they worth anything? There is also Le Creuset stuff...never used. Is that good stuff?
re: spookie1026
This thread made me go on an attic hunt for some copper pieces I knew were up there and had never been used. Sure enough, I found several pieces of the Limited Edition Collection, still with their original stickers and protective coating intact.
From the information on this website http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeoywo4/th..., I've concluded that my pieces are from the initial production of this line, dating, probably, from the early 70's. There's a 3 qt. casserole with lid, an 8" frying pan, a 1-qt. saucepan with lid, an au gratin pan, and two small shallow pieces with flared handles that defy definition. Maybe they're small baking dishes, or serving dishes.
Although I'm currently shopping for one, or maybe two pieces of copper cookware, these are NOT the pieces I need, or even want, so I'd like to sell them on eBay or Craig's List, along with the wall rack and hooks. But I have NO idea how much they might be worth. How do I place a value on these pieces?
First of all, I live in Riverside, CA and I had no idea that revereware was made here at one time! We moved from Ohio when I was a young girl. My mom always had revereware and never cooked with anything else. When I was first married many moons ago, I also received revereware (30+ yrs ago) and I still have these same pieces. I would never give them up. A few yrs ago, someone took a soup pot that I had brought into work for a potluck and I have been devastated ever since. I clean the copper bottoms every time I use them and if you do that, it is very simple each time. Any ideas where I can get a reverware soup pot? I have to get another one!
After several years in development, copper clad Revere Ware in the familiar design was introduced at the 1939 Chicago Housewares Show and was a hit. I think it's even represented in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. After a wartime manufacturing hiatus, postwar households couldn't get enough Revere Ware; they had a substantial portion of the market sewed up.
Corning Glass bought Revere in the 90's I think, then sold off all their housewares products, and they are now manufactured overseas, like everything else. You see lots of Revere Ware at thrift, on ebay, and in the kitchens of your older relatives. It's good stuff.
There's even an ebay store that shines up Revere Ware and sells it for relatively big bucks: stores.ebay.com/The-Shine-Shop. But I bought a big set this weekend from my neighbors across the street at their garage sale for $10. They'll be sorry!
Glencora - I have a couple of my mom's copper-bottom Revere sauce pans. They are superior to anything else in my kitchen!
I don't know if this method damages the copper, but to clean the copper bottom use a well-salted lemon. You will need very little muscle; it's magic! Actually, nothing, including 60 years of use, seems to damage these amazing pans. -
Apparently, they started producing products there in 1948. A little more history at this link.
re: PommeDeGuerre
You're lucky! Reverware is sturdy stuff. I hope to inherit my mom's set eventually. You'll obsess over getting that copper clean, but dont worry -- the aging just enhances its quality. 1948 sounds about right, perhaps even earlier, since mom's set was a wedding gift (they were married in '48).
re: Cheflambo
My Revere Ware (6 pieces) came in the form of wedding presents in 1953, and they've been heavily used ever since.
They are indeed durable, though last Christma, one of the larger sauce pans sprang a tiny leak, I think about the line of the top of the copper bottom. I've kept the pan -- does anybody know of where one can get such repaired?-
re: PatBnorthern
A good metal shop should be able to weld it and buff it out. Find one that works with stainless steel But, I think if it were me, I would set it aside and look for a replacement on eBay. The reason I say this it that the fix may be expensive and also there may be another thin spot waiting to pop. Good luck.
re: PommeDeGuerre
My Mother gave me her Revereware after she left my Father and I grabed it so fast I would not let it go. Ever since I was a little girl those pot and pans where hanging on the wall and if one of Kids clean that pan and make it shine again. Everytime we used them our Mother would make us get the copper cleaner out to clean the bottom of the pan. If we missed a spot she would make us do it again. So why did I grab those pans when she was giving them away. I thought those copper pans was going to be worth some money some day! Big surprise to me I find you folks saying how much you love using them while my is stored away! Bummer! Maybe I should throw my set away that I am using now and use those pans!!

Poured into a glass mug. Pours light amber with a two-finger length white head that dissipates fairly quickly. There's a lot of visible streaming bubbles in the beer. The beer smells grainy with very light vanilla and bourbon. I might not have noticed the vanilla and bourbon if I wasn't looking for it. The beer tastes bready and sweet with some balancing hops in the back. The vanilla and bourbon are faint at first, but the vanilla comes out more later. The body is light to medium with moderate carbonation. The finish is clean. It's fairly easy to drink. This is a good beer that isn't quite up to the level of the other beers in the pack.

12 oz twist-off bottle poured into a pilsner glass.
5.5% ABV, 13229 on side of label.
A - Crystal clear, this deep golden beer has very little carbonation feeding the poorly retained off-white head. Wispy fingers of lace creep up the glass but the still brew doesn't extend the best invitation.
S - Vanilla extract notes waft from the pale lager as this simple pale-malt-based beer suggests hints of wood but no alcohol.
T - Wood stave-centered, this earthy beer has an unusual, almost plastic-y flavor leading into vanilla and faint alcohol which overtake the simple lager quickly.
M - Looks can be deceiving because this beer has high carbonation and a smooth body that finishes dry and rather clean but lacks any hook.
O - A training wheel "barrel-aged" beer for Budweiser drinkers, perhaps? This beer doesn't quite come together anywhere along the line but save for the weird flavor, it's not terrible. Lacking any sort of hook, the vanilla and wood doesn't quite meld well with the base beer and Bourbon is nowhere in sight.

I tried this beer the day it came out. I would compare it to the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, but has left bourbon flavor. That's a good thing to me since it has a more smooth taste to it. The only bad thing with the package is that you only get three bottles in the twelve pack sampler. I hope that this beer become's it's own beer like the Black Crown did from the first Project 12 edition.

Golden hued with a slight brown coloration. Minimal head after the pour. Great clarity and lively carbonation bubbles. I definitely get vanilla in the aroma and not much else. Flavor is vanilla with a bit of a cream soda. Smooth and creamy. Might be good with ice cream. Good for someone who wants a lighter bodied dessert.

[JURIST] Mexico and Cuba on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding [text, in Spanish] aimed at combating the rising number of Cuban illegal immigrants [JURIST news archive] attempting to reach the US through Mexico. The agreement requires Mexican authorities to deport any illegal Cuban immigrants taken into custody by Mexican authorities, including immigrants who have illegally entered Mexico directly or through Central American countries. The agreement also establishes greater cooperation between Mexico and Cuba in the areas of human trafficking and smuggling. In a speech [text, in Spanish] following the signing of the agreement, Mexican Interior Secretary Juan Camilo Mourino Terrazo [official profile, in Spanish] said:
Without a doubt one of the fruits of our renewed bilateral relationship is the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Republic of Cuba and the Government of the United Mexican States to ensure a legal, orderly, and safe flow between both countries. This agreement also strengthens mechanisms to prevent and combat illegal migration, smuggling, and human trafficking, among other crimes.
[JURIST] Indonesia's Constitutional Court on Tuesday ruled [AP report] that the country's constitution [text] allows the firing-squad execution of three men sentenced to death for their roles in the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings [BBC backgrounder]. The three members of the southeast Asian terror group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) [CFR backgrounder; JURIST news archive], Mukhlas, Imam Samudra and Amrozi Nurhasyim [BBC profiles], had argued that death by firing squad amounts to "torture" and is contrary to Islamic law [VOA report]. The court rejected the men's request that they be executed by beheading [BBC report] rather than firing squad, ruling that any differences between the methods were immaterial. Although a lawyer for the men has said he might seek to appeal the sentence again, government officials plan to announce an execution date Friday. The Times of London has more.In August, Indonesia's attorney general postponed the execution [JURIST report] of the three men during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, saying the legal challenge alone was insufficient to stay the sentences. A lawyer for the men had promised to bring their constitutional challenge after the Indonesian Supreme Court rejected the third appeal [JURIST reports] in July. Their first appeal had been rejected late last year, prompting an unusual second appeal, which was later withdrawn [JURIST reports]. In May, Indonesian police arrested [JURIST report] another JI member, Faiz Fauzan, in connection with a second set of Bali bombings [BBC report] in 2005. In March, an Indonesian judge handed down 15-year sentences [JURIST report] to two JI leaders, Zarkasih and Abu Dujana [BBC profiles], after convicting them of other terrorism charges.
[JURIST] The Bolivian National Congress [official website, in Spanish] Tuesday ratified proposed reforms [PDF text, in Spanish] to the country's constitution, paving the way for a national referendum on the changes on January 25, 2009. Bolivian President Evo Morales [official website; BBC profile] engineered the endorsement Monday by agreeing not to seek reelection in 2014 [La Razon report, in Spanish]. Morales' conservative opponents had sought such an assurance before approving the constitutional referendum, which required support from two-thirds of the congress. The current constitution [text, in Spanish] limits the president to two terms, and Morales conceded that his present term, which began in 2006, would count towards that limit. Morales announced that the constitutional referendum will be followed by presidential and congressional elections [La Razon report, in Spanish] in December 2009. Should Morales win in 2009, that five-year term would be considered his second and final as president. AP has more.The controversial proposed reforms [JURIST news archive] would distribute more of Bolivia's land and energy resource income to the country's indigenous population. In August 2008, Morales won a referendum to continue his presidency, which he personally proposed in a bid to legitimize his campaign [JURIST reports] for the constitutional changes.
[JURIST] Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] on Monday accused [press release] the Sudanese government of using a special prosecutor [JURIST report] as "window dressing" to thwart an International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation of war crimes in Sudan's Darfur region [JURIST news archive]. ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo applied for an arrest warrant [JURIST report] in July for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] alleging genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, but such ICC prosecution is permitted [Rome Statute Article 17 text] only when a national court is "unwilling or unable genuinely to carry out the investigation or prosecution." In a move seen largely as a reaction to a potential ICC investigation, Sudan appointed its own special prosecutor in August to investigate and try war crimes suspects, including militia commander Ali Kushayb [TrialWatch profile; ICC arrest warrant, PDF]. HRW said that Sudanese prosecution "hold[s] little promise of bringing justice to victims" and argued that an ICC investigation is precluded under Article 17 only when national courts "charge the same person with the same crimes as those brought before the ICC," which is impossible given the limitations of Sudanese law. The Sudanese criminal code does not address crimes against humanity and genocide, does not recognize command responsibility for military officer prosecutions, contains many obstacles to sex crime prosecution, and provides immunity for members of the armed forces, militias and the police. AFP has more. An ICC pretrial chamber is considering whether to grant the controversial arrest warrant [JURIST report] for al-Bashir and has requested [court order, PDF; JURIST report] that Moreno-Ocampo submit additional materials in support of the application. Earlier this month, Sudan Justice Minister Abdel-Basit Sabdarat said the Sudanese special prosecutor has almost completed reports [JURIST report] on some crimes in the region, though a time frame for trials has not been established. HRW has previously accused Sudan of failing to adequately combat war crimes [JURIST report], stating in 2006 that the Special Criminal Court on the Events in Darfur prosecuted petty offenses while neglecting to address the widespread and ongoing human rights abuses.
[JURIST] Amnesty International and the Nigerian Legal Defense and Assistance Project (LEDAP) [advocacy websites] condemned Nigeria's capital punishment practices in a joint report [PDF text; press release] released Tuesday, claiming that death row inmates are being denied their rights to proper representation and appeal and calling for a moratorium on executions. According to the report,
capital punishment can only be used after the most exacting due process of law. However, as this report shows, the failures in the Nigerian criminal justice system breach international human rights law and standards. Suspects in capital offences and death row prisoners are denied their right to a fair trial and appeal process. The violation of an individual's legal rights often starts at the point of arrest. Police routinely use torture to extract confessions as a substitute for thorough and impartial investigation of the crime. As a result the majority of death row prisoners were sentenced to death based on confessions.
[JURIST] The Supreme Court of Thailand on Monday convicted [Bangkok Post report] ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] of corruption charges [JURIST report] related to a 2003 purchase of land by his wife Pojamarn Shinawatra [JURIST news archive] from the government-controlled Financial Institutions Development Fund [official website]. Thaksin was sentenced to two years in prison for abuse of power for using his position to secure a reduced price for the land, and violating a Thai law prohibiting political leaders from engaging in business dealings with government-directed organizations. Pojamarn, also charged in the case [JURIST report], was cleared of charges because she was not a government official. The two were tried in absentia [JURIST report] after failing to return from an August trip to the UK [JURIST report] because of what they said was judicial bias [JURIST report] by Thai courts. Thailand's Office of the Attorney General on Monday said it would seek Thaksin's extradition [Bangkok Post report] in light of the conviction. Thaksin took refuge in the UK after being overthrown by the Thai military while travelling abroad in 2006, but he later returned [JURIST reports] to the country to dispute the charges. AP has more.Thaksin's conviction is the latest in a long series of corruption actions brought against Thaksin and Pojamarn. In August, Thai prosecutors asked the Supreme Court to seize over $2 billion [JURIST report] from the Shinawatras' frozen accounts and holdings in relation to the charges. In July, the Thai Attorney General's Office filed corruption charges [JURIST report] against Thaksin for his role in a 2003 resolution reducing fees paid by mobile phone companies to state telecommunications agencies. Later that month, Pojmarn, as well as her step brother and secretary, were convicted of tax evasion [JURIST report] for transferring $16.3 million worth of stock she transferred to the two. Also that month, the Supreme Court agreed to hear additional charges against Thaksin and 47 other for alleged misconduct [JURIST reports] related to the country's lottery system.
[JURIST] UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official website] wrote in a report [text, PDF] issued Monday that the Iranian government has made limited progress in some areas of human rights but that other areas such as basic freedoms, minority rights and the justice system still need to be improved. The report noted that there have been marked improvements in per capita income, children's nutrition, education, life expectancy, and technical aspects of the justice system, including legislation that bolsters constitutional protections. These improvements, though, vary drastically by region. Additionally, Ban noted that many areas of human rights are still a cause for concern, such as in amputations and corporal punishment, the death penalty for both adults and juveniles, and the lack of women's rights, minority rights, freedoms of expression, association and assembly, and due process rights. He wrote:
Some negative trends have also been reported, including an increase in rights violations targeting women, university students, teachers, workers and other activist groups. Ongoing harassment against human rights defenders, including womens rights activists, has been reported. The independent media have also experienced tightened restrictions, with numerous publications suspended. While two Iranian- American dual nationals detained in 2007 have been released on bail, there were further high-profile arrests of members of the Bahai community.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit [official website] on Monday issued an order [PDF text] further delaying the release of 17 Uighur detainees from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archives] as it set an expedited schedule for hearing an appeal by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website]. A three-judge panel voted 2-1 to stay this month's order by the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] requiring the federal government to release the Chinese Muslim detainees into the United States, finding that the DOJ had "satisfied the stringent standards required for a stay pending appeal." The panel did not elaborate on its reasoning. Circuit Judge Judith Rogers [official profile] dissented from the order on the grounds that the court had "no basis" for granting a stay pending appeal. She wrote, in part:
The court's release order was based on findings that are either uncontested by the government or clearly supported by the record. The government had filed no returns to the writs filed by ten of the petitioners, and the returns in response to the remainder consisted only of the hearing records from Combatant Status Review Tribunals ("CSRTs").... Although expressly offered the opportunity by the district court, the government presented no evidence that the petitioners pose a threat to the national security of the United States or the safety of the community or any person.
[JURIST] Outgoing UK Director of Public Prosecutions Ken Macdonald warned [Times report] Monday against the expansion of government power in gathering intelligence and prosecuting suspected terrorists. In a speech [text] delivered in London Macdonald speculated that present decisions about how the government should use technology are likely to be permanent -- an apparent reference to the proposed Communications Data Bill [official description], which would establish a massive database of all phone and e-mail traffic [AP report] in the country. Claiming a conviction rate of over 90 percent in terror cases, Macdonald said the UK was nonetheless right to resist "special courts, vetted judges and all the other paraphernalia of paranoia." He continued:
Of course, you can have the Guantanamo model. You can have the model which says that we cannot afford to give people their rights, that rights are too expensive because of the nature of the threats we are facing. Or you can say, as I prefer to, that our rights are priceless. That the best way to face down those threats is to strengthen our institutions rather than to degrade them.
[JURIST] US Office of Special Counsel (OSC) [official website] head Scott J. Bloch [official profile] announced in a letter [text, PDF] to President George W. Bush Monday that he will resign when his five-year term ends in January. Bloch could remain head of the OSC for one year after his term expires or until the Senate confirms his replacement, but the letter indicates he will end his term in January. Bloch's announcement comes after increased calls for his resignation following a 2005 complaint [text, PDF] accusing him of retaliatory acts against OSC employees, violations of free-speech rights, unwarranted case closures and unethical hiring practices. In his letter to Bush, Bloch wrote:
As you well know, doing the right thing can result in much criticism and controversy from every side. I am proud to have enforced your stated policy goal of upholding the rule of law, enforcing the law as it is written, not according to fads or special interest pressure.
[JURIST] The German cabinet [official website, in German] on Monday approved legal conditions [text, PDF, in German] that the government will impose on banks that receive financial assistance through the German financial rescue bill [Financial Stabilization Fund Regulation text, PDF, in German; press release, in German]. The rescue bill [BBC backgrounder], signed into law on October 17, will provide up to 400 billion euros to stabilize and revive the market through loan guarantees, up to 80 billion euros to buy problem assets, and up to 20 billion euros to cover any loan losses. The cabinet had proposed plans to impose a pay cap of 500,000 euros and bonus freezes on the CEOs of all banks that requested help under the bill, but under Monday's regulations, higher pay rates are only deemed "inappropriate." The government is permitted, though, to analyze all risks in the banks' business that could be excessive and to limit their implementation. In addition, any bonuses paid to employees must be "appropriate," and each institution may receive only 10 billion euros for assistance and 5 billion euros to cover risks. Bloomberg has more. The New York Times has additional coverage.The passage of the German bill follows the passage [JURIST report] earlier this month of a US financial rescue bill [HR 1424 text, PDF]. The final bill authorizes the Department of the Treasury [official website] to establish a Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) to purchase troubled assets from financial institutions and to provide insurance and guarantees for any troubled asset originated before to March 14, 2008. It also establishes a Financial Stability Oversight Board to review Treasury actions taken under the legislation.

My view is that if your philosophy is not unsettled daily then you are blind to all the universe has to offer.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
Find out what the universe has to offer by checking out the reboot of the classic book and television series, Cosmos by Sagan. Is Neil deGrasse Tyson replacing Sagan as the new Mr. Universe? He demoted Pluto and is the author some great books. He also wrote the introduction to the new edition of Cosmos and is the host of the new series. He gets my vote. Brains and humor are an unbeatable combination in my book.
Brian Greene is one of my other candidates. He's the author of many excellent and mind-blowing books. Don't miss the chance to attend online classes at World Science U –FOR FREE! Brian Greene is teaching classes there.
Last but not least, is Alan Lightman. Alan Lightman is the author of an old favorite, Einstein's Dreams. I'm currently enjoying his new book The Accidental Universe.

"The Perks of Being a Wall Flower" by Stephen Chbodky
After his friend Michael commits suicide, Charlie must begin his first year of high school alone. He begins to write letters to an anonymous friend. It is through these letters we learn about Charlie, his family, friends, mentor and life. This is a well-written, articulate, funny, and poignant coming-of-age book.
"The Hypnotist's Love Story" by Liane Moriarty
The hypnotist has finally started dating someone that seems like he could be "the one." He tells her on a date that he has a stalker and she finds herself fascinated rather than disturbed. This story is told from the point of view of two characters, one of whom is the stalker. The author has such a way with character development that it's easy to sympathize with the stalker and you find yourself liking her. Moriarty seems to be able to capture the most complicated of human emotions and motivations in a simple and accessible way. There are no black and white issues in her books and the truthfulness of that really shines through. This was a very enjoyable read.
"Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtis" by Timothy Egan
This is the biography of Edward Curtis, a talented photographer. His obsession was to photograph and document the American Indian before destruction of their ways. Egan writes is a riveting story of how Curtis spent ten years, sacrificed his marriage and family, finances and health to produce a twenty volume work The North American Indian. The photographs at the end of each chapter are a good accompaniment to the text.

Extension of cellulosic biofuel tax credits now and eligibility for algae biofuels are needed to help companies raise financing for first-of-a-kind biorefineries. The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) today thanked Senators Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), John Kerry (D-Mass.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Tom Udall (D-N.M.) for their request to Senate leadership for this extension.
Brent Erickson, executive vice president of BIO's Industrial & Environmental Section, stated, "The advanced biofuels industry is at an inflection point and is rapidly maturing because biotech companies have made significant private investments to commercialize the technology. Additional investment is needed to build commercial scale biorefineries to produce these advanced biofuels. The cellulosic biofuels production tax credit and the accelerated depreciation for cellulosic biofuel property have the potential to unlock this vital project financing. Algae biofuels also need to be eligible for these credits. But the December 31, 2012, expiration date for these credits prevents project developers from leveraging their full value.
"BIO and its member companies thank the Senators who have recognized the importance of supportive, stable federal policy to ensure that advanced biofuels developers can move forward on first-of-a-kind commercial projects. We ask that any tax package that considers effectively expired provisions extend the cellulosic biofuels production tax credit and accelerated depreciation for cellulosic biofuel property, and include eligibility of algae-based biofuels."
In addition to extending the tax credits for cellulosic biofuels, BIO supports extension of the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project credit and the Research and Experimentation credit.

In the U.S., baseball's traditional home base, presidents have been throwing out the ceremonial opening pitch since 1910, when the hefty William H. Taft first inaugurated a game by lobbing a ball from the grandstand, to great fanfare.
In recent years, the tradition had, perhaps, gotten a bit stale. But now, in baseball-crazy South Korea, a succession of starlets is stepping up to the mound and turning the dry ceremony into a highlight reel moment in its own right.
Korea Real Time provides sharp analysis and insight into what's making news on the Korean peninsula. We chronicle the growing pains of South Korea — a country that has skyrocketed into the club of the world's richest nations but now faces significant headwinds, and shine a spotlight on one of the world's biggest geopolitical flashpoints: North Korea. Drawing on the expertise of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, we'll tell the stories behind the headlines in business, economics, politics, culture and lifestyle.

By HAYLEY HARMON
6 News Anchor/Reporter
STRAWBERRY PLAINS (WATE) - A bill that would make hemp farming legal in Tennessee could soon be on the table in the state legislature, and one East Tennessee senator is behind the big push.
Republican Senator Frank Niceley of Strawberry Plains tells 6 News he's drafting the hemp bill on the heels of the recent passage of a similar measure in Kentucky.
Hemp farming is currently illegal in Tennessee. Growing the plant is also prohibited by federal law.
But in recent years, a number of states have passed measures legalizing the farming of the plant, including Kentucky.
Niceley wants Tennessee to do follow suit.
"Why not give the farmers a chance to raise it?" said Niceley.
He says there's a common misconception that hemp is marijuana.
"It's not marijuana. It's a cousin. You can't get high off smoking industrial hemp," said Niceley.
He's working on a bill right now that would approve hemp farming in the state.
He says considering that hemp itself is legal, growing it should be too.
"Hemp is legal. You can import it. You can export it. You can buy it. You can sell it. It's only illegal for a farmer to raise it. I want to change that," said Niceley.
Niceley believes hemp could become a viable crop for Tennessee farmers to grow and sell.
The plant's fibers can be turned into everything from rope to clothing.
"You can make paper out of it. There are thousands of things you can make out of hemp," said Niceley.
But it's not just about making a change in Tennessee.
Niceley hopes approval of hemp farming in the state could help pressure the federal government to repeal it's prohibition on growing the plant.
"That's just another example of farmers being discriminated against. I don't know of any other crop that's illegal to raise, but it's not illegal to buy it, sell it, import it or export it," said Niceley.
East Tennessee residents say they're in favor of Niceley's idea, especially if it means more money in farmer's pockets.
"I don't see a problem with it. I know a lot of people who have farms out here so any kind of cash crop like that would be good for them," said Brent Byrum of Strawberry Plains. "If people aren't getting high off of it, I don't see why people shouldn't be able to grow it and make money off of it."
Niceley says he's already received a lot of support from other state legislators, including bi-partisan support.
He plans to present the bill in next year's legislative session, which begins in January.

Poured a dark straw hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was good retention and lacing.
The smell featured dried apricots and peaches.
The taste was likewise "peachy" with a residual sweetness.
The mouthfeel was sweet and champagne like in texture.
Overall intersting beer. One and done for sure though.

Appearance: minimal head, high carbonation, orange-gold in color, clear
Smell: peaches and white wine
Taste: big time peaches, Sprite--lemony, light grapefruit and other citrus hops
Mouthfeel: sweet with a slightly bitter middle, light body, medium carbonation
Overall: The best Federal Jack's beer I have had by far. Like a nice mix between a summer beer and a dry white wine. A bit on the sweet side, but very interesting. I had several.

Into a pint glass (also had with a nonic, nothing changed):
A: light straw yellow body with a one finger white head that quickly dissipates into nothing. There was barely any lacing left, and barely any carbonation was seen rising.
S: apricots and peaches
T: centered around the peaches and the apricots, not even any hops coming out. Is this a soda or a beer?
M: light, carbonation was definitely felt
O: well, with the apricot/peach thing going on, is this more of a fruit/vegetable beer than an American Pale Wheat Ale? I will echo the previous guy, "this is an interesting beer." I'm not sure if I would have this again.
