Sometimes the things we collect as adults are the things we lost as children.
When I was growing up, we had exactly one cast-iron skillet in my family. It was something I took for granted, like the fact that we ate meatloaf on Monday and Mrs. Paul's fish sticks on Friday. Our black, 12-inch, cast-iron skillet was always there, stored in the oven with the baking sheets.
The skillet seemed to have always been there. I never met any of my grandparents, so I never had the chance to ask them if it had been theirs. Perhaps my father bought it, but he died when I was seven, before I thought to ask. I never queried Mom about it when she was still alive, either. And none of my 11 siblings had any idea as to where that skillet came from originally.
It didn't matter; it was The Skillet. When I was tall enough to reach the knobs on the back panel of the avocado-green electric stove, I learned to cook with the skillet. It was clunky. Heavy. Like the thick red hardback Merriam-Webster dictionary I carried around to look up words I didn't know.
The skillet clanged across the electric burner elements, scratching against the hard, round coils. It sounded like steel wool on aluminum. I'd turn the knob to number 6, then wait.
I'd gaze out the kitchen window and into the tiny yard, a land thinly patched with grass and edged, briefly, with orange tiger lilies along the chain-link fence.
The scent of smoky oil, charred bacon, fried onions, and sausage filled the air. I loved that smell. It clung to my clothes. I was proud to make dinner and contribute in a family that had many mouths to feed and little food to cook.
I'd lay thin strips of bacon on the surface of the skillet. I loved the pop and splatter of the fat meeting cast iron, like glass marbles bounced on the sidewalk when dropped. Sometimes one or two tiny bursts of grease would jump out of the skillet and onto my forearm. They'd stick like glue and burn my flesh, the warmth turning to a sear within seconds. My dash to the sink to run cold water over the burned spot was never fast enough.
I didn't know I should add the bacon to the pan, then turn on the heat.
But eventually I learned how to properly cook bacon, and how to sear chicken livers and caramelize onions, and how to simmer Italian sausage with green peppers in a tangy marinara sauce. (Marinara sauce: another thing not to do, in a cast-iron skillet.) I'd scrape the surface of the skillet as I cooked, adding hours of love to my creations.
One day, however, I made the ultimate cast-iron mistake: I washed the skillet.
With warm, soapy water.
I scrubbed vigorously. I rinsed, then squirted more green liquid Palmolive detergent into the skillet, filled it with hot water, and scrubbed vigorously again. Hard.
My nails grew ragged. Finally, the surface gleamed. I placed the cast-iron skillet on the rack in the oven to dry.
Days passed. We ate pots of chili, spaghetti, and boiled cabbage with ham. I didn't think about the cast-iron skillet until it was pulled out of the oven to make room for a turkey teriyaki casserole.
It was covered in splotchy patches the color of pumpkin pie. The surface of Mars, dry and hard, flaking and peeling.
I'd ruined it.
I cried, then prayed for forgiveness at Saturday confession.
I don't remember ever using that cast-iron skillet again. I don't know if someone inherited it when Mom sold our house, or whether she took it to her condo, or whether it was thrown away.
Almost four decades elapsed before I bought my own cast-iron skillet. I'd read about friends and colleagues using cast-iron skillets for baking pizza, cornbread, and cakes. I knew that cast iron was the perfect skillet to sear fish, bacon, and meats. I'd read plenty on how to care for cast iron and how to season its black surface so foods wouldn't stick.
Shortly after I married for the first time, I bought my first cast-iron skillet in a rural farm store while shopping for birdseed. I lifted small, medium, and large skillets to gauge which one connected me most to the old family kitchen with the buttercream walls.
Settling on a 12-inch black skillet, a replica of the one I ruined as a teenager, I felt I was taking a small step in the right direction.
But back home in my own kitchen, the skillet felt heavy. Awkward.
I was intimidated by memories of that rusted, ruined skillet. Instead of conditioning and seasoning the new skillet with bacon fat and pork shoulder, I went shopping for another cast-iron skillet.
I bought a smaller, gray-toned, nine-inch skillet, rationalizing that the size and color would make a difference. I wanted a skillet to create comfort meals for me and Elvis, my husband; I wanted to remember the sweet memories of my past, and fuse them with the meals of my future.
Satisfied with having one skillet to remind me of my past, and another one to create new memories with, I oiled them and then baked them, low and slow. I envisioned crisp bacon, caramelized steaks, and perfectly seared salmon fillets.
But the following week, I attended a blogging conference, where I won a 10–piece Calphalon cookware set. My cast-iron skillets sat on a shelf, unused.
Several months later, Elvis saw the skillets while rummaging on a shelf for his grill tools. He casually mentioned that they looked like the skillets his mother used to fry country ham in when he was a kid.
So we got out the skillets and seared two fat, juicy burgers in them. It was a christening of sorts, and a promise of many more meals to come.
The smells of my childhood came back to me that day. And now I know not to wash away the smells of family.

RACINE, Wis. (AP) -- The president of the National Association of Sports Officials says that with the integrity of the game in question, it's about time for the National Football League and its referees to work out their contract differences.
The nonprofit trade organization is based in Racine and publishes Referee magazine. Locked-out NFL refs are member of the association, and so are thousands of high school and college refs, putting the organization in an unusual position.
President Barry Mano tells WISN-TV the officiating at the Packers-Seahawks game Monday night and the fallout that followed, is an embarrassment to the profession. The association's editorial team met Tuesday to discuss how to cover the controversy in the next issue of its magazine.

By Rachel Molschky:
When it comes to Muslim terrorism, children are dispensable, both the enemy children as well as those of the jihadists themselves. Our Western culture promotes compassion, in particular when it comes to children. However, Islam is quite the opposite. There is no worry over whether or not children are among the victims of their crimes.
Even when their own children are killed, they use their deaths as leverage to evoke sympathy from the Western world. A prime example would be Palestinian terrorists who use their children as human shields and subsequently take photos of the dead and point the finger at Israel. Then they continue the propaganda game when the same photos resurface from one war to the next, and many times the original photos themselves were fabricated.
Several photos from the Syrian War have been regurgitated as Palestinian anti-Israel propaganda when it was Muslims who killed the children in Syria and had nothing to do with Israel. Photos of injured Israeli children, the victims of Palestinian terrorism, are also used with the claims that they are children in Gaza.
There are many examples of this at fakewarclaims.com, and I recommend visiting the site if you can stomach the gore. Some of the photos are extremely disturbing.
All this propaganda is for the West. How do Muslims really treat children? Let's take a look at some recent news stories: (H/t The Religion of Peace)
|58 Students Shot or Burned to Hacked to Death… Dozens Killed in Attack on Nigerian School: "Islamic militants set fire to a locked dormitory at a school in northern Nigeria, then shot and slit the throats of students who tried to escape through windows during a pre-dawn attack Tuesday. At least 58 students were killed, including many who were burned alive. "They 'slaughtered them like sheep' with machetes, and gunned down those who ran away, said one teacher, Adamu Garba…"
|90 Killed in 2 Attacks in Northern Nigeria: (including children dancing at a wedding) "Twin car bombs at a bustling city marketplace blasted buildings to rubble and tore apart bodies the same night an attack on a farming village razed every thatched-roof hut. At least 90 people have been killed, officials and survivors reported Sunday, as Nigeria's Islamic extremists step up attacks and criticism mounts of the failure of the military and government to suppress the 4-year-old Islamic uprising in the northeast…The victims include children dancing at a wedding celebration and people watching a soccer match at a cinema, survivors told The Associated Press…"
|Two Bahrain children wounded while planting bomb: police: "DUBAI: Two children, aged 10 and 11, were wounded while planting a roadside bomb in a Shia-dominated village in Bahrain where a blast killed three policemen this week, police said on Thursday. 'A group of terrorists exploited these children by asking them to plant a home-made bomb' in Daih, state news agency BNA quoted a police official as saying. He said one child was 'seriously' wounded when the device exploded. Police photos showed one child's fingers mangled by the blast and both boys' faces and bodies peppered with shrapnel…"
|16 Christians killed in latest attack in Nigeria (4 children among them):"Armed gunmen believed to be Muslim Fulani herdsmen have attacked a cluster of villages in Plateau state, killing 16 Christians and destroying numerous homes, Christian leaders said… Musa Gunduma Dang of Gwon village said they killed his mother, wife, four children and three other relatives. 'They shot sporadically and set my house ablaze, killing all members of my family, and the entire village has been destroyed,' Dang said…"
|Afghan child killed, 5 women injured in clinic attack: "Afghanistan- One child and two policemen were killed while five women were wounded Saturday when militants opened fire on women, who line up to receive food at a maternity and women's clinic in eastern Afghan province of Laghman, sources said…'One seven-year-old child and two Afghan Local Police cops were martyred and five women got gunshot wounds in the incident,' the statement said…"
|Christian Family Murdered in Alexandria (including 6 year-old):"Four members of a Christian family of Syrian origin living in Alexandria, Egypt, were stabbed to death Monday. A man was seen walking out of their apartment holding a black plastic bag. The father of the family, 44, who was employed in one of Sharm el-Sheikh's hotels, was found stabbed in the stomach, the chest and the shoulder. His 35-year-old wife was stabbed in the neck, and so was the husband's 43-year-old sister. Their six-year-old daughter was also found murdered…"
|Jihadists loaded bomb devices into ambulance carrying pregnant woman from Syria into Turkey (No worries over the woman or her unborn baby):"While Israel is constantly excoriated for supposedly targeting civilians, we see Islamic jihadists in Gaza and now in Syria deliberately staging jihad operations in areas where civilians will almost certainly get hurt by retaliatory action. Loading bomb devices for jihad attacks in Turkey onto an ambulance carrying a pregnant woman shows yet again the egregious jihadist disregard for human life and cynical willingness to use civilians for cover…"
|Pakistani man hands over 3 sons to Hafiz Saeed for jihad: "A Pakistani man has handed over his three young sons to Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Saeed for jihad. Abu Haider, a Jamaat-ud-Dawa activist, handed over his three sons to Saeed at a workers' convention yesterday in Nankana Sahib, about 80 kilometres from Lahore. 'I hand over my three young sons to you for jihad (holy war). They will be now on your hands in your struggle,' Haider said…"
These are all stories from about a two-week period and are only but a snippet of violence compared to the long history of a Muslim disregard for human life including the lives of children. Boko Haram militants repeatedly storm schools and slaughter as many children as possible. Islamic suicide bombers do not back away if they see children present. In the Sbarro suicide bombing in Jerusalem, among the dead were seven children and a pregnant woman. An 8 year-old boy was killed in the Boston Marathon bombing after one of the bombs was left just feet away from him. His 6 year-old sister survived but lost a leg, (and his mother suffered a brain injury.)
When there are Islamic acts of terrorism, there are dead children, not inadvertently but purposely. In the Fogel Family Massacre, Palestinian terrorists broke into the Jewish family's home and viciously butchered the parents and three of their children, including a baby.

The men and women who volunteer as firefighters are constantly putting themselves in danger.
Between 2007 and 2011, more than 300,000 injuries were reported of firefighters harmed while on the job.
But with great risk, comes great reward, as Louisiana offers a tuition reimbursement program for firefighters.
Last Tuesday, firefighters and Haz-mat responded to a meth lab bust in the city of Scott.
Firefighters that Scott Mayor Purvis Morrison says are vital to the community, adding, "It's very very important for our volunteers, for us to bring in volunteer firefighters. We just have no way of paying to have a full paid fire department in the city of Scott as well as many other municipalities within the state of Louisiana."
To get those numbers up, the state is offering a reimbursement of tuition for volunteer firefighters. The state is offering $8,000 for a 2-year degree and $16,000 for a 4-year degree.
Scott Fire Chief Chad Sonnier says, "The benefit is tremendous, we have a lot of firefighters coming in to the organization now and able to help with fire scenes and emergency medical incidents. And it gives us more people to pick from."
Among those responding to Tuesday's incident was Justin Denais. Denais is the Assistant Chief of the Broussard Fire Department, and participated in the state's tuition reimbursement program.
"I wanted to further my education so I pursued an engineering degree at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and I also wanted to continue helping people so I chose to go with the grant so I could continue to do so", says Denais.
He says while the program is rewarding, being a firefighter does come with it's dangers which he says he's ready for.
Above all, he says volunteering is worth it.
He's currently employed as an oilfield engineer, but says firefighting is something he was born to do.
Denais adds, "I think it's a good thing that you can still give back to your community and the state's allowing you to do so and allowing you to pursue your education and bettering yourself."
The grant program is still looking for those eager to fight fires and finish their education.
If you're interested in the program, head on over to VFDLA.org.
There you'll find eligibility requirements and application forms.

Sunday school was letting out at New Covenant Church on Clio Avenue. Sunday school teacher Nicole Reeves was walking out into the dark when the rapid pop-pop-pop of gunfire sounded nearby.
"It was about 6:30 or 7. I was bringing the kids out of Sunday school," Reeves said.
Reeves had just stepped into the parking lot of the church, a few hundred yards from the scene. As soon as she heard the shots, she hurried the children back inside the classroom.
"You got to think about the kids," she said. "I told them to get back inside, to stay away from the windows and to get down."
Reeves said she heard 10 to 15 shots. Looking down the block, she saw several cars speeding away from the area around the Rossville Corner Market in the 3700 block of Rossville Boulevard.
Chattanooga police said three people were shot about 6:30 p.m. All three were taken to the hospital, but no information was available Sunday night about the circumstances of the shooting or the victims' names or conditions.
According to Coy Reeves, Nicole Reeves' husband, the shots were fired by people in two vehicles that appeared to be driving toward each other. WRCB-TV 3 reported, though, that police believe there was only one shooter.
Police cordoned off the crime scene with yellow tape and worked to collect evidence while neighbors clustered on the sidewalk to exchange stories and reactions.
Resident Keisha Wright was surprised by the violence.
"It's shocking. I love this neighborhood," she said. "This is a good neighborhood."
There have been six other shootings in Chattanooga so far this year.
Lindsay Burkholder is originally from Winston-Salem, N.C. She graduated from Covenant College in May 2012 with a bachelor's degree in English. While at Covenant she spent time writing for and editing the news section of the school newspaper, The Bagpipe. Burkholder also attended the World Journalism Institute in New York City in 2011.

Never Alone Lyrics - Dropkick Murphys
Review The Song (5)
You say its because we're boisterous
You hate us 'cause we got our dignity
There's a difference between the two of us
It's a sense of morality and what corrupts
We stand together so proud and strong
This is a place where we belong
We got loyal friends
We keep our heads held high,
We'll stick together you and I
Don't need no guns or no drugs on our streets
just a place to go and the boots on our feet.
Young skinhead they call you hooligan
Just because you don't make any sense to them
You're a hardworking man whose paid his dues
But they still call you racist on the evening news
But the blood that runs right down your wrist
Don't come from a knife, but the cuts on your fist
Your torn up knuckles and faded blue jeans
Are the colors you wear and the life that you've seen
You tell the truth look people in the eye
Don't live your life in no baggy disguise.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Don't need no gang to watch my ass
Just loyal friendship and a pint of Bass
In the midst of the chaos and insanity
I'm a member of the working class society
We'll sweat in the ring and bleed in the streets
But our will and spirit can never be beat
You can shoot and you can kick but together we'll stick
Through thick and thin not stick or stone
Can break the bond that has here grown
Arm and Arm We Fight As One.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.

Do your research | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/8/11
I'm so sick of nits saying skinhead is an "offshoot of punk" it most definitly is not. It came from 1960s england from Mod and Rudeboy culture. It was influenced by ska and reggae, predominetly Trojan records. "rooted in jamaica, booted in england and stomped round the world" it has nothin to do with fuckin punk. OR racist, racism wasnt associated with skinheads until the national front and british movement started recruiting young skins. And it isn't "recent" that racist "skins" were coined as boneheads. That came about in the 80s from new york SHARP. fuck do your research before saying some bullshit like skinhead came from punk. That's even further from the truth then skinheads being racist.
terms and definitions | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/21/11
Somewhat recently, a popular distinction has arisen to separate "skinheads" from "boneheads". Obviously, a "skinhead" is a person who is bald-headed, or more particularly, has a shaved head, for whatever reason. On the other hand, a "bonehead" is well... for lack of a more academic description, a racist dumbass.
Re: Meaning behind it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/12/11
I doubt you'll ever see this but to anyone who cares...
People think that skinhead and nazi go hand-in-hand when it couldn't be further from the truth. Skinheads are just an offshoot of the punk scene.
And yes, I'm sure the Dropkick Murphy's would support those skinheads NOT the "American History X skinheads" most people think of when they here the term.
Meaning behind it | Reviewer: William | 8/8/10
Anyone know the meaning behind this song? The skinhead kinda surprised me. Are they skinheads, or supporters thereof? I don't much care if they are, it won't make me like their music any less (seriously, I love Hanzel Und Gretyl), I'd just like to know.
Cheers Murphys | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/3/07
One of the best written songs ever in my opinion. This kind of honest and loyal attitude spreads good energi and is what the world needs more of today.

Detroit optioned the 20-year-old right-hander to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens on Monday after a spring in which Turner pitched just four innings before developing pain in his right shoulder two weeks ago.
The decision was made by Tigers president/GM Dave Dombrowski.
"Dave said it's time to get him over there [to Minor League camp] and get him going," manager Jim Leyland told MLB.com. "He'll be a starting pitcher in Toledo. If he's 100 percent healthy, then why pitch him one inning in relief over here?"
Turner seemed like a good bet to crack the rotation after making three starts for the Tigers last year. Detroit's No 1 prospect and MLB.com's 15th overall, breezed through Double-A Erie and made his Major League debut against the Angels on July 30. He went 1-0 for the Mud Hens with a 3.12 ERA, 20 strikeouts and just three walks over 17 innings in three starts at Toledo in August before rejoining Detroit in September.
Turner will work out at the team's Minor League complex for the remainder of the spring. He finished his time in the big league camp with an 11.25 ERA, two strikeouts and six walks over three appearances.
"He needs to go pitch," Leyland told MLB.com. "He's a young pitcher with a huge, huge ceiling, so me seeing him one more inning in Spring Training right now doesn't mean anything."
Tigers outfielder Quintin Berry, who impressed with his speed and defense as a non-roster invitee, was sent to Minor League camp, along with right-hander Chris Bootcheck, first baseman Ryan Strieby and infielders Audy Ciriaco and Argenis Diaz.
"I didn't know [Berry], really, to be honest with you, before he came into camp," Leyland told MLB.com. "He made a heck of an impression."

So I know I may be the only person who HASN'T read The Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin but just in case you missed the bandwagon too, I've decided to use it for Teaser Tuesday.
Teaser Tuesday is a meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. To participate all you need to do is grab your current read, flip to a page, and post 2 teaser non-spoiler sentences from that page!
A devastating plague has decimated the population, and those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles around them.So what does Araby Worth have to live for?Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery makeup . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club, and Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.And Araby may find not just something to live for, but something to fight for—no matter what it costs her.


text: Tenorist Don Byas is one of those players who always seemed to get more recognition in Europe than the US – or if that's not entirely the case, he at least got more chances to record properly than he ever did over here! This excellent 18 track CD features tunes from 3 early 50s sessions that Byas recorded in Paris – all of them in a small group setting that really let him open up on tenor in a mellow soulful way. Most tracks are relatively short, but the quality of Byas' solos is wonderful – and the CD represents some of the finest work you could ever hope to find by him from the postwar years. Titles include "Summertime", "The Man I Love", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "Riviera Blues", "Somebody Loves Me", and a sublime version of "Laura". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Face swelling after injury
After a facial injury it is important to reduce face swelling. This can be done in a variety of ways with several tools and techniques to prevent complication and improve recovery. A facial injury can be very devastating to a person and it is therefore essential to take care of the problem quickly with effective interventions. This article will discuss some of the treatments that can be used to minimize swelling of the face.
Face swelling treatment is directed at the site of the injury. Frequently that face will swell after it is hit with an object that is moving at high speed, such as a ball. Other times the face can be injured when the body is moving at high speed and an accident occurs, such as a motorcycle or car crash. In either case, it is important to have a proper assessment of the damage to the face. Underneath the facial tissue is a complex bony structure that is the foundation of the face. These bones can be broken or fractures in many places and should be treated with the appropriate care. While swelling will occur after treatment and may worsen because of it, it is important to correct any underlying problems to the bones before focusing on the swelling.
The most common face swelling treatment is the application of cooling materials to the affected area. For many, this involves the use of ice packs or other frozen items. Other cold materials such as a bag of frozen peas are corn are also very effective and these things will conform to the site of injury. For items that are very cold, they should be loosely wrapped in a thin sheet and then applied to the face. It is important to wrap the material first because you do not want to experience excessive cooling of the skin. This can cause frostbite and injury the skin, the last thing you want to do because that will make the overall condition much worse.
By applying the cold packs on and off, the swelling of the face is effectively treated. The cold should be applied for 15 to 20 minutes in order to cool the affected area. Then the material should be removed in order to allow proper blood flow and return to a semi-normal temperature. This alternation between cooling and normal temperature prevents further injury while effectively preventing swelling.
Cooling of the face slows down blood flow to the area and therefore prevents leakage of fluid into the skin and surrounding tissues, which is the cause of swelling. It also prevents the formation of pain inducing chemicals by slowing down their production. By using a cold material for the first day after an injury, it is possible to reduce face swelling extensively and have a good outcome after an injury.

PLU leadership training takes
By Drew Brown, Editor
Susan Mann conducting the Leadership
Becoming a leader is not as easy
as it looks. Imagine being thrust into a leadership position for
the first time like Sue Mkrtichian, who was recently promoted
to Director of Student Health Services at PLU.
"I had no idea of the many things
I would need to handle," Mkrtichian said. "I was overwhelmed."
Luckily for Mkrtichian, PLU has recently created a program that
has perfectly fit her challenges as a new leader.
PLU President Loren J. Anderson called
on Susan Mann, Director of Human Resource Services, to develop
a leadership program. Anderson felt PLU needed to create a larger
and even more skilled pool of campus leaders.
The Leadership Seminar that Mann
helped create includes a mix of 16 faculty and administrator participants
from all areas of PLU. The objectives are simple: support the
university's cultural shift, refine talents, enhance leadership
and interpersonal skills and improve knowledge of policies.
"PLU has changed a lot in the last
decades, and so has the culture," Mann said. "Very few universities
have an opportunity to develop a program like this."
Some of the main topics this year
have been: Principles for a Collaborative Workplace, Giving and
Receiving Constructive Feedback, Personal Strategies for Navigating
Change, The Multicultural Work and Learning Environment, Influencing
for Win-Win Outcomes, and Coaching: Bringing Out the Best in Others.
The thread that weaves through all
seminars is collaboration. Mann believes that one of the real
values of the Seminar is the opportunity for people to come together
from different areas, develop deeper relationships, share ideas
and solve problems together.
"For the university to spend its
resources this way feels very supportive and encouraging," Mkrtichian
said. "I like knowing peers across campus, people I might not
otherwise meet. This cross section will help me get things done.
The subjects have been very practical and we have had ample opportunities
to practice our new skills. I am very impressed."
Faculty and administrators who are
interested in nominating themselves or others to participate in
the Leadership Seminar in the future are encouraged to contact

DALLAS — Requests for 5,000 tickets to a John F. Kennedy memorial event in Dallas went online Thursday, beginning a process that includes rigorous background checks and random computer-driven drawings of people who want to attend.The 50th: Honoring the Memory of President John F. Kennedy is a public memorial planned for Nov. 22, 2013, in Dealey Plaza in Dallas. President Kennedy was assassinated there in 1963. He was the nations 35th president.Dallas Mayor Michael S. Rawlings said security and fair access are key to the tribute, which he said will be serious, understated and respectful.Security is a high priority in this era, given the terrorists attacks on Sept.11, 2001, and the recent bombings in Boston, Rawlings said at a news conference held at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in Dallas.First Assistant Dallas Police Chief Charles Cato said police will conduct full criminal background checks on all people requesting tickets. People can request up to two tickets and each person listed in a single request will be screened.While ties to extremist groups might cause security concerns, Rawlings said people with varying views about the events leading to JFKs assassination wont be discriminated against in the process.We want everyone, whatever their point-of-view, Rawlings said.The news conference laid out the parameters for people to get tickets to the free event. The online ticket request process went online just as the news conference concluded at about 11 a.m. The deadline to request tickets is July 31.Video screens will also be located near downtown Dallas to broadcast the event for people who dont get tickets. Victory Park in Dallas is one of the satellite locations. Other locations will be determined later, organizers said.Rawlings said Dallas residents will receive priority in getting tickets, but said Tarrant County residents will also have access to them.About 25 percent of the 5,000 tickets will be available for people outside the Metroplex, organizers said. Media credentials will be handled in a separate process. Organizers anticipate media interest from across the globe.The ticket process was established to make sure there is a fair distribution to the public.Rawlings and a committee of 25 area leaders are working with the City of Dallas to set up the event.The event, described as a serious, understated public memorial, is paid through private donations. Organizers are trying to raise millions of dollars for the event, Rawlings said. Diane Smith, 817-390-7675

Opening Day Puppy
Yesterday afternoon at the office, fellow PFer Rick Young and I were discussing the best time to bring home a puppy if you wanted the dog ready for this fall's hunting season. In Rick's opinion, folks had better be looking hard at breeders now if they are planning to be hunting over a new pup by autumn. I'd have to agree with that assessment.
My pup, Trammell, was born in mid April of 2007. She came home with us in early June. So at 5 months old she hunted ruffed grouse in Michigan and at 6 months old she hunted pheasants in Minnesota. Okay, "hunted" is an exaggeration. She went along for a run and learned "how to hunt" from the other dogs. However, by the end of her first season at nine months of age, she was certainly showing the signs of becoming a darned good bird dog with solid points and confident retrieves.
Backing off the math from my experience with Trammell, I'd assess that puppies born in February would enter into the 2011 pheasant season in pretty solid form, given proper obedience training and exposure to both gunfire and live birds.
Which brings me to Pheasant Fest in Omaha this weekend; whether you are interested in pointers, retrievers or flushers, attendees will be able to check out a wide array of breeders and litters. There will be breeds I can't pronounce (Braque du Bourbonnais), breeds that sound like ice cream (Spinone Italiano) and the most popular breed in America (Labrador retrievers).
So what do you think, if you could pick the perfect age to have your pup enter into his/her first hunting season, how old would that pup be on opening day? Drop your comment below.
The Pointer is written by Bob St.Pierre, Pheasants Forever's Vice President of Marketing.

I agree with your assesment and have two good examples. Latest one a now 8 month old GSP. Our season for qual opens Nov 1 and him being 6 mo. old at that time I wouldn't want them much younger. It took three outings for him to point his own bird. He actually performed a water retrieve that same day. Hunted like a veterian dog most the season with plenty of points, retrieves, and honoring very well. Next year at 1 1/2 yr old I will be expecting more of the same.

First look: Helena Bonham Carter models for Marc Jacobs!
Florence Welch may be the inspiration behind Gucci's Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, but it's Helena Bonham Carter who has stolen Marc Jacobs's attention. The British actress appears in the A/W 2011 campaign for the label wearing a shiny pink sequin dress and kooky Jacobs hat.
Although an unusual choice, Helena seems like the ideal candidate for Jacobs's new collection and here is the photo evidence to prove it. Captured by Juergen Teller, I can't wait to find out more about the campaign and see it in full. I'll post more details when I can dig them up. In the meantime, tell me what do you think of this sneak peek? Leave your comments below.

Standard Definition Video
I bought this video when I had a tangled mess that I was warping on my loom. One tiny trick would have saved me so much trouble. But there are so many wonderful tips from Madelyn.
I absolutely would recommend this video to a beginner and anyone else wanting to make warping easier.
No info given for sectional warping.
(Posted on 7/20/2014)
(Posted on 7/20/2014)
My first warp - 3 yards 2/8 cotton. Followed this video step by step. No glitches, no troubles, even tension, after beaming all the ends the same length, with only two crosses caught right away.
Second warp - 11 yards 2/8 cotton. The same experience! No tangles, no problems. Amazing! For a new weaver this video is priceless. And maybe for experienced weavers who still grumble about warping.

For countless years I struggled with warping my loom. Nothing helped! Private lessons, group classes never enabled me to understand and navigate the process on my own.
Madelyn to the rescue! Now, I can easily warp my loom! Best of all, it is fun and easy!
I feel accomplished and ready to move forward on my weaving journey!
Thank you Madelyn!
I am truly a fan!

Love, love, LOVE this video! As an experienced weaver, I was uncertain as to how valuable this video would be, and I am delighted to say that not only is this an excellent video for new weavers, there are many gems that experienced weavers can also pick up. Madelyn's practical approach, dry sense of humor, and lifetime of expertise all come into play to make this video a must have for every weaver's library. 5 stars for sure!

I'm pretty much a self taught hobby weaver of some 20+ years. But after a hiatus of a couple of years, this video was just what I needed to kick start my creativity again. Thank you Madelyn and the team at Interweave for continuing to give us more ways to discover and/or rediscover our dormant talents. It is like having my own weaving teacher on my desk. Being hard of hearing, the ability to read the dialog would be helpful.

I have found this video to be outstanding. I am new to weaving and needed some direction as to how to start the process of warping my loom. I found the information on this DVD was given in an easy step-by-step process that was easy to follow. Madelyn is an excellent teacher. I would recommend this DVD to anyone.

I have been weaving for quite a few years now and am attached to my back to front method of warping. But I'm also a curious weaver and when I read reviews about Madelyn's new video, I decided to download a copy and watch. The first 1/2 of the presentation is a detailed instruction about winding a warp on a warping board, and getting that warp on the loom. Very simple warp, simple sleying, etc. Instructive for new weavers, and therefore a very valuable resource. The second 1/2 of the video is where the good stuff for more experienced weavers lies. Madelyn shows her technique for winding two threads at once, while still maintaining a thread by thread cross. The shining jewel of the whole video (for me) was the demonstration using a piece of rigid heddle as a warping paddle. This was worth the price of the download. I also was sold on the idea of using a cone stand while warping. I'm still not a convert to front to back warping. However, on the rare occasion that I do use that method, I will certainly use some of the tips I learned watching this video.

For 25 years I've hated to warp. It's actually kept me from weaving as much as I'd like. I debated getting this video because, hey, I'm an experienced weaver, right? Surely nothing could make me like to warp. It's one of those things like having your teeth cleaned. You love it when it's done, but you don't like the process. Right? Wrong!! I decided to give this video a try and I'm so glad I did. The first DVD alone is worth the price of admission. I watched the first video a couple of times, then measured and warped on a 6-yard, 408-thread warp without a single problem, tangle or any tension except a perfectly tensioned warp. I now love to warp. I'm looking forward to adding a new options and tricks to my bag of warping knowledge, but I got what I wanted - help developing a solid warping technique. This video will be my teacher and friend for a long time to come. Madelyn's dry sense of humor is a joy and kept me chuckling during the whole thing. I'd love to take a class from her sometime. If you choose to download this video, as I did, please be aware that it will take some time to download. I have a fast connection and it was a multiple-hour event. If I had it to do over, I might get the DVD.

- Reusable culture; makes up to 1 quart of kefir with every batch
- Cultures on the counter at 68°-85°F
- Suitable for use with cow or goat milk.
- Grains require rehydration in pasteurized dairy milk. Once rehydrated, grains may be transitioned to raw milk.
- May be used to culture coconut, soy, or rice milk once rehydrated in dairy milk; grains require regular refreshing in dairy milk.
- Nut and seed milks yield inconsistent results.

Questions on Milk Kefir Starter Kit
- From Christina at 3/5/2013 8:31 AM
- If culturing coconut milk, how often do the grains need to be put back into dairy milk? My instructions just say occasionally, but I wasn't sure what exactly that meant. Every few weeks? Every few months?
Also, does this apply only to canned coconut milk? Or can we used coconut milk in cartons such as So Delicious Coconut Milk? If canned only, should it be full fat only, or will light work too?
Finally, can you culture other milks such as almond milk with kefir grains?
Sorry for all the questions. I've been making kefir successfully using dairy milk for a few weeks now and wanted to try coconut milk, but I don't want to mess anything up!
- You should put the grains back into dairy milk every few batches. The grains need dairy milk for nourishment. You can also culture other milks using milk grains, but the natural food for grains is dairy milk. It would be best to wait until you have extra grains to experiment with.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- If culturing coconut milk, how often do the grains need to be put back into dairy milk? My instructions just say occasionally, but I wasn't sure what exactly that meant. Every few weeks? Every few months?
- From Sara at 2/24/2013 5:18 PM
- I am new to this and so excited about your website. I see you ship dehydrated real kefir grain. Does the process of dehydrating the grain kill off any of the microbial strains in the grains. Thanks so much, Sara
- All the goodies are well in-tact in our dehydrated grains! This is the safest way to ship our cultures to ensure their health and viability in transit. Once you rehydrate and nurture the grains you'll be on your way to making some great milk kefir, and enjoying all the benefits!
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Shirley at 1/7/2013 7:06 PM
- From Julia at 12/13/2012 1:33 PM
- My house is 64 degrees in the winter. Will this work?
- 64 degrees is a little low, but you can still keep your culture warm by following the advice from this article: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/maintaining-temperatures-culturing-yogurt/
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Cayla at 10/11/2012 1:46 AM
- I just bought the milk kefir grain but I am going abroad for one month. Is there a way to keep them alive while I am away for one month?
- The best way to keep them alive would be to put them in the refrigerator in milk and ask a neighbor to change the milk once a week. If that isn't possible, you will need to dehydrate your grains and rehydrate them again when you get back. You will find instructions for dehydrating here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/how-to-take-a-break-from-making-kefir
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Steve Speights at 8/26/2012 8:33 AM
- Can you tell me the amount of milk kefir grains in tablespoons that comes with your kit.
Thanks Steve
- There is a small quantity of grains in the package that generally rehydrate to about 1 tsp. This quantity is enough to culture up to 1 quart of milk. The grains, when used with care, will often continue to grow and should be divided when doubling in quantity to culture a second quart or share with friends.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- Can you tell me the amount of milk kefir grains in tablespoons that comes with your kit.
- From Jimi at 8/23/2012 12:41 PM
- What kind of coconut milk should I use for making coconut kefir? Should I use Thai coconut milk in a can or should I use the coconut milk in the milk carton.
- To make coconut milk kefir, use fresh homemade, canned or boxed coconut milk. We do recommend avoiding brands with additives and sweeteners as they can be hard on the kefir grains. Guar gum which is a typical additive does not seem to be problematic.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Dana at 7/10/2012 10:26 PM
- When rehydrating my grains, starting on day 2, they are thickening the milk to the point that I can't strain them out (texture of yogurt or sour cream). How should I get them out? Should I be straining them more often than every 24 hours? They are being kept at about 73 degrees during the soaks.
- If your milk is thickening that much that fast, it may be due to the warmer temperatures at this time of year, or it may just be that the milk itself is souring. To make removal of the grains easier, you can stir up the milk a few times during the rehydrating period, and/or change the milk more frequently.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Melkha at 6/27/2012 2:21 PM
- From Abe at 5/24/2012 6:23 PM
- In the instructions for rehydrating kefir grains: Can I use 1/4 or 1/2 cup fresh milk to rehydrate kefir grains instead of one cup as indicated in the instructions? If idea to submerge kefir grains completely in the milk, I think 1/4 or maximum 1/2 cup is more than sufficient. Why waste one cup of fresh milk? Let me know.
- We recommend using 1 cup of milk to rehydrate the grains. As the grains rehydrate, you are also providing food for them. 1/4 cup of milk would not be enough to feed the grains and keep them healthy.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

Only one suggestion. We travel and it's really difficult to take the kefir with us. What can we do to preserve it (not kill it) if we are going to be gone a few days. Can I put it in the refrigerator to slow it down or do I just get a "babysitter"?
CFH Note ~ For short term storage, put the grains in fresh milk and store them in the fridge using an airtight lid You will find additional information on storage here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/how-to-take-a-break-from-making-kefir

This starter kit is amazing. I've been making my own Kefir all month and I can't believe I was paying so much for store bought Kefir. Then last week I read an article that outlined that the claims on the brand of Kefir I had been buying for years were inaccurate. I just feel better knowing where the ingredients in the food my family eats came from. This starter kit makes it so easy.

Within 3 days of the grains arriving, I had amazing kefir by the quart. The included instructions and videos on the site are invaluable. You just have to really try to mess this process up. I like to let it go longer occasionally as the curds & whey are amazing too. Such a versatile product. I never dreamed you could do this with homogenized/pasteurized milk. Thank you CulturesForHealth!!!

a great product with exceptional support staff. this culture is pretty forgiving so just use some common sense and go for it. if you feel like you're becoming a slave to it just throw it in the fridge for a bit then pick up where you left off later. also, i've had great results w/ ultra pasteurized milk as this is the only kind i can find in my area. cheers and thanks to CfH for a great product and support.
Noe from CFH: Ultra Pasteurized is not recommended as it may not culture consistently. Contact customer support for help choosing ingredients for culturing.

My kefir grains "awakened" without a hitch and are now producing kefir beautifully! I am enjoying trying different ingredients in "second ferments" and making kefir smoothies with various ingredients. I called with questions on one occasion, and your rep gave me much valuable information. With all the written and video helps you provide, I don't see how you can go wrong! Yes, the initial price is costly, but it will pay for itself in no time as you can continue culturing indefinitely if you like. You can make up to a quart of kefir daily if you choose. Highly recommended product and service.

I started drinking kefir over a year ago and was pleased with the difference it made for me. Then my local store stopped stocking it, which was the ultimate blessing in disguise. After researching online, I ordered the kit from Cultures for Health (I love your website!). I Received the kit and started reactivating the grains the first night: no results in the first 24 hours, but ever since I have been culturing all the kefir I can use and I am loving it. It has become a staple in my diet AND my cooking, and I couldn't be happier!!!

I was amazed at how fast I received my kefir starter kit after I ordered it. Once it arrived, I got started with the re-hydration and reactivation process. My next shock was that on the second day of the process I found that I had a thick, creamy, and very mild kefir waiting for me. I have been enjoying the stuff ever since. I can't recommend this product enough. It is so much better than any store bought that I have ever tried.
Now I am ordering the Bulgarian yogurt starter. We will see where that goes..

- We sincerely wanted to make this product work - but everything from the ordering (accidentally ordered 2 sets when I only wanted 1) to implementing was unclear and turned out to be a huge waste of money and time. Review by Dawn
Value Quality Price
The directions provided were very unclear (i.e.; check every 24 hours - check for what? I'm brand new at this! I can look at it often up to 24 hours - or every hour, but you don't detail what it is I'm looking for! I haven't a clue). I tried calling for help to no avail - lines were always closed when I was trying to get help. We really want this to work for us. But have NO idea how to get to this point with the undetailed and unclear directions provided. Your directions may be perfect for someone who has made their own kefir before. I've only had kefir once in my life and have never made it. Please read your instructions as if you are the novice that I am - and see how the instructions do not meet the needs of a newbie. By the way - I have kept everything - as your instructions say to do - I haven't a clue as to what to do with the stuff!
In summary, I'm very disappointed and out a fair amount of money (with the organic milk and the raw milk - products that I don't normally use or buy and the 2 packages of grains) and a lot of time and energy. Not all of your customers are experienced in making kefir. You need to provide much, much more instruction - detailed instruction and help available when it is needed.
Response from CFH: We are happy to help troubleshoot products and clarify instructions. We are available directly 6 days a week via Live Chat, phones, and email.

- Mild, thick kefir with the right milk Review by Anne from Garner
Price Value Quality
My first week of kefir making did not go well. I had bought a store brand organic milk, since the first week the kefir pretty much wakes up and starts producing, and I did not want to waste expensive milk for this process. After the second day in the store brand milk, my kefir started making an extremely foamy, yeasty brew, that tasted like alcohol. I tried fixing this overgrowth of yeast any way I could think of without success. I was about to throw away the kefir grains. I had run out of the cheaper organic milk, and just to keep the kefir until the next day, I added my usual drinking milk, a brand name organic whole milk from pasture raised cows. The next morning I had perfect mild wonderful kefir ! The store brand milk obviously caused this yeast overgrowth, so if you run into this problem, change milk brand.
I have a glass of this kefir every morning now. It tastes wonderful. Mild, and so thick, I could use it like a yogurt.
Note from CFH The yogurt texture can be a little stressful for small grains. We normally recommend culturing to a "thickened-milk" texture, more like buttermilk to ensure that the new grains are getting plenty of fresh food (milk). Great job on the change in milk, it can certainly make a difference and don't forget to try a second fermentation on your finished milk kefir. You'll find instructions here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/second-fermentation-milk-kefir
