There is a pressing need to preach a holistic Gospel. We need to hear of the challenges and opportunities in responding to God's call for an engaging ministry that can lead to spiritual and moral change, which in turn leads to socio-political and economic change. Scripture provides examples of men and women of God who acted as agents of change by engaging the political structures of their time.
One such case is that of Ezra and Nehemiah. They used what Dr. Ray Rivera calls the "Community Engagement Method." Nehemiah, as a concerned citizen, felt burdened in a situation that was creating distress in the Jewish community. He addressed that need by using the available resources in the powers of government. Nehemiah was able to sort out the ethical differences between co-belligerency and advocacy on issues and survived as a capable leader working for a corrupt politician. Understanding that it was in the public interest of the king and a good political move for Israel to have the walls restored, Nehemiah engaged the king to get the resources and involved the local community in Jerusalem to support the wall-restoration project. In doing so, he got Ezra outside the "temple walls" to help rebuild the city walls. Ezra had rebuilt the temple, yet the city walls were in ruins. Sometimes the Church is too concerned with building the house of worship while the community around it is in emotional, social, and economic ruins.
In the book Heart for the Community, we find this quote: "It is unfortunate but true that many sermons on Sunday have nothing to do with our neighborhood reality of Monday." This calls for the Church today to leave the church building in an incarnational spirit, to become one with the community, and to learn about conditions of pain, misery, suffering, and oppression outside its walls. By staying inside the walls, the Church has lost its prophetic voice to call for justice and righteousness. It is time for the Church to incarnate the values and lifestyle of the Kingdom and to share the Gospel that will "proclaim good news to the poor, freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor" (Luke 4:18, 19). This is a holistic message.
Because of the fall and curse on all of creation, this will require also dealing with the dysfunctional systems and structures that have an impact in the total welfare of people's spirit, mind, and body. Jesus wants his church to "feed the hungry, give water to those who are thirsty, invite the stranger, clothe the naked, and visit the sick and those in prison." Then he will say, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me'" (Matthew 25:40).
At Bread for the World, we believe this is the generation that can end hunger in the United States and throughout the world by 2030. This will require a holistic message, where the Church can come out of the temple walls into the city walls to "proclaim release to the captives" from individual and systemic sin.

We have a lot to be thankful for this year at Bread for the World, and you're at the top of the list. I thank God for you.
Here are just a few examples of the incredible work you have helped accomplish this year:
We won reforms that have allowed U.S. food assistance to reach 1.5 million more hungry people. Humanitarian crises in South Sudan and Syria along with the terrifying spread of Ebola in West Africa have dramatically increased the need for food aid, so our successful campaign to increase the reach of U.S. food aid could not have come at a more critical time.
As unaccompanied children crossed the U.S. border, fleeing violence at home and often deplorable treatment in detention centers, you opened your heart. You sent more than 10,000 personalized emails to your members of Congress urging them to protect these vulnerable children while addressing the root causes of their plight in the long term. A bill has been introduced into the House (H.R. 5368) to address these concerns.
On Monday, Bread for the World Institute launched its 2015 Hunger Report: When Women Flourish ... We Can End Hunger. Because of their leading role in farming, caregiving, and child nutrition, women are the primary agents the world relies on to fight hunger. Your support makes this research and analysis possible.
And in June, we celebrated 40 years of your faithful advocacy and victories from earlier decades. We also launched Bread Rising: A Campaign to End Hunger, the most ambitious campaign in Bread's history. More to come on this campaign in the new year.
Through your dedication and through God's amazing work, we have accomplished so much. But our work isn't finished yet. As you gather around your Thanksgiving table, I ask you to pray for people who are hungry. And to pray harder for our nation and our leaders — that we might realize the political will to end hunger.
Are you asking yourself, "What more can I do?" If you have just five minutes, please help with this urgent opportunity to make a difference for people who are hungry around the world right now: email your members of Congress, and urge them to co-sponsor the Global Food Security Act (H.R. 5656 and S. 2909), which will boost agricultural development and address malnutrition. It passed out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee last week and will be voted upon next in the full House.

The 2015 Hunger Report was unveiled on Monday to a jam-packed room at the National Press Club. Holding the report aloft, Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World, said, "We publish these reports every year. I think this will be our most popular."
The report, When Women Flourish…We Can End Hunger, identifies the empowerment of women and girls as essential to ending hunger, extreme poverty, and malnutrition in the United States and around the world.
During a panel discussion, Asma Lateef, director of Bread for the World Institute, said putting women in the center of policy and program decisions is logical. "When women are empowered benefits extends beyond them," she said.
Lateef stressed that empowerment must support women's inclusion as decision makers in civil society. However, she added, that women too often are faced with barriers that limit their ability to engage fully in economic activity.
A key takeaway from the panel discussion was that the experts are the women who are working to overcome barriers of discrimination every day. Professionals and advocates must listen and act to remove those barriers that hinder women's untapped potential.
"We have to be intentional about empowering women, it won't happen on its own," Lateef said.
Aside from Lateef, other speakers who took part in the panel discussion were Victoria Stanley, senior rural development and land specialist at the World Bank; Fouzia Dahir, executive director of the Northern Organization For Social Empowerment in Kenya; Gary Barker, co-chair of MenEngage Alliance and Andrea James, executive director of Families for Justice as Healing. The panel was moderated by Sandra Joireman, chair of Bread's board of directors and a professor of political science at the University of Richmond.

For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. — Isaiah 9:6-7
This is a glorious passage with a glorious promise. There will be a great, perfect government of peace, justice, and righteousness. It will be like that because the Prince of Peace, our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Everlasting Father will be in charge. No earthly government can accomplish that.
However, we do not have to wait for the reign of the Messiah to experience God's peace. Scripture clearly states that the Kingdom of God is joy, peace, and righteousness. As citizens of God's kingdom, let us celebrate this Christmas by emulating the government of the Prince of Peace to change the circumstances provoked by financial despair, wars, social inequalities, crime, drugs, greed, injustice, hunger, disease, corrupt authorities, abuse against children, women, those helpless in society, and many other maladies. Let us reach out with the message of salvation, justice, and hope. Let us preach this message, not only from the pulpit, but from our hearts with acts of compassion, love, and service that exemplifies the life of Christ when he dwelled among us. Let us join the voices of those who are crying out for an opportunity to have and make choices that can deliver them from the strongholds of poverty, hunger, and inequality.
Let us intentionally put off our old self, be made new in the attitude of our minds, and put on the new self. Let us do this so the Holy Spirit can work through us in an endeavor to live a true Christian witness that allows the world to experience the righteousness of the Kingdom of God.

Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but those who are kind to the needy honor him: Proverbs 14:31
On Friday, November 21 at Del Sol High School in Henderson, Nev., I heard President Barack Obama share his executive action with a very enthusiastic crowd. The action will temporarily stop deportations and keep families together. I was able to enjoy the excitement experienced by the many men and women who have been champions in advocating for a fair immigration reform in our country. I met with Dolores Huerta, who together with Cesar Chavez, fought hard for the rights of farm workers; Pablo, Chavez's son; Eliseo Medina, who fasted for 30 days in front of the Capitol calling on Congress to enact a fair immigration reform; Gaby Pacheco, the young woman who became a voice and a face for the "DREAMers"; Gabriel Salguero, president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition; Bill Richardson, former New Mexico governor; Rev. Ricardo Moreno, associate for Latino outreach at Bread for the World and Rev. L.B. Jackson, among many others. It was a great day in America.
It brings me great joy to know that as a result of the executive action, roughly one million of the five million who will benefit from the president's action will be able to overcome the struggle of food insecurity and that experiencing hunger may no longer be a part of their lives. Now they will have the opportunity of getting better jobs, higher wages, and other opportunities inaccessible to them before because of their migratory status.
This is Divine Justice because it responds to the biblical mandate to care and provide for people who are the poor among us. In doing so, God is honored because God cares about people who are poor as they are close to his heart. There are more than 200 biblical references dealing with the treatment of people who are poor. Some of these Scriptures talk about the blessings for those who help, as well as the consequences for those who oppress people who are poor. Throughout the ages, God has used kings and government officials as instruments for divine purposes. In my mind there is no doubt that God's sovereignty moved the president to order his executive action. In doing so, he has brought about justice to the many hard working parents who have lived in fear of being separated from their children.
Let us pray for God to move the minds and hearts of our government officials so they can do what is right for people who are marginalized in our country. However, let us also act and exercise the responsibilities of our democracy by calling, writing, and advocating before Congress to enact a fair immigration reform, for in doing so, they will honor God.
Learn more about the connection between hunger and immigration here. And urge your members of Congress to pass legislation that addresses the root causes of hunger, poverty, and violence that are driving unaccompanied children to flee their home countries.

In the movie The Matrix, the main character, Neo, is offered two pills: a red one, which will show him the painful truth of life outside the Matrix; and a blue one, which will erase all memory of what has occurred and send him back to blissful ignorance within it. Sometimes I feel that trying to understand gender and development issues, we're all Neo, working inexorably towards our own moments of choice. A word of caution: once you look at the world through the lens of gender-based differences in power and opportunity, you can never unsee it.
Today, Bread for the World Institute launched its flagship 2015 Hunger Report. This year's edition focuses on women's economic empowerment, tackling issues that are at the forefront of gender and development. Poverty affects women differently than men. Working conditions, discrimination, and social norms mean women and the work they perform (both within and outside the economy) are less valued then men and their work. Women experience more poverty in terms of income, and are also more impoverished in other ways—education, health, time.
Nowhere is this clearer than in the burden of domestic work. Women and girls are usually responsible for what is sometimes called reproductive work, such as taking care of family, cooking, and cleaning. More women have joined the workforce, but men have not stepped up at home, so overall women work more and get paid less. The upshot is that many women (particularly in low-income countries) work double shifts, one of which one is unpaid.
Bread for the World Institute's report also highlights the importance of collective action. A critical element of empowerment is voice, and women who advocate collectively for their rights are more likely to be heard.
Perhaps most important, the 2014 Hunger Report draws a very clear picture: Women are missing from economic data. We just don't know how and how much women are contributing to the economy, since most of their work is undervalued, invisible in the statistics, or both. This is not a data gap like many others we worry about in global development; it's a reflection of systemic gender-bias, and it prevents sound policy-making.
To accompany the report, Bread for the World Institute launched a powerful visualization tool to illustrate how women are missing from data.
The tool allows you to search by country, region and five main indicator categories: public life, human rights, health, education and economic participation. Each indicator – such as mortality rate or wage gap- is represented by a pixel, and all the pixels together make up the picture of a woman. The more data available, the clearer the image. The conclusion is stark: in most cases we can't see the women, and so the visualization imparts a powerful message: without the data, women can't be seen. And if they can't be seen, how can women have a voice and a seat at the table where economic decisions are made?
(As an aside: This tool was created at a hackathon, and initially set out to visualize data on women's economic empowerment. It ended up taking a much more novel approach by visualizing the absence of data, rather than the data itself. It cost the organization no money other than the costs of organizing the hackathon—a great example of how innovation and creativity can go a long way in the face of limited resources.)
Bread for the World Institute has always included women in their reports. After all, the role that women play as caregivers and farmers puts them at the center of the hunger issue. However, this year's report doesn't just include women as research subjects; rather, it examines the social constructs and the gender biases in policies that hold women back, and impede development. You could even say that Bread for the World Institute has come to their moment of choice and decided to take the red pill, applying a gender lens to their work and seeing for the first time behind the "Gender Matrix." Like Neo waking up to his revolution, there is no going back.

During a televised address to the nation last week, President Obama announced the Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) legalization program. It's an ominous sounding name for a program with the primary goal of legalizing almost half of all 11.2 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.
One veteran immigration advocate called it, "the biggest victory for immigrants and their allies in the past 25 years." That may be an understatement. DAPA has the potential to be the largest immigrant legalization program in history. However, more than 6 million undocumented immigrants in the United States would be ineligible for the program and temporary legalization.
President Reagan signed the last large-scale immigrant legalization law in 1986. That law, the Immigration Reform and Control Act, led to the legalization of about three million undocumented immigrants. President Obama's program will allow about 4.3 million immigrants the opportunity to apply for temporary legalization, a work permit, and protection from deportation. Those who qualify for the program would be granted protection for three years.
The DAPA legalization program consists of two main components: keeping families together and expanding legalization for immigrants who came to the United States while young.
The first component addresses the undocumented parents of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents who have lived in the United States for at least five years – roughly four million people. The president's action would offer them legal reprieve and remove the constant threat of deportation they live under now.
The second component is targeted toward undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children – specifically younger than 16. It expands the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which was created for "DREAMers" – undocumented immigrants who grew up in the United States. An additional 300,000 immigrants would benefit from the expansion, resulting in the potential for the legalization of a total of 4.3 million immigrants.
The president's action will help undocumented immigrants escape and stay out of poverty by providing them with an increased opportunity for further education, job training and freedom to pursue opportunities throughout the employment market. Most are now confined to the "grey market" where they can only work without being detected as undocumented immigrants.
When immigrants are able to work legally, they can better protect themselves from workplace abuses. Also, it is estimated that immigrants could see a wage increase of 8.5 percent as a result of the president's action because they will be better able to find jobs that match their skills. This will significantly help immigrant families who disproportionately live in poverty and experience food insecurity.
While the DAPA announcement was hailed a major victory for immigrants – particularly those struggling in low-wage jobs – it was only a temporary victory. The program could be rescinded by a new president in 2016 and some in Congress, who are upset with the executive action, are already threatening to defund the government agencies that will be responsible for implementing the law.
In order for this poverty reducing-action to become permanent – and for the remaining 6 million undocumented immigrants to be legalized – Congress will have to act on immigration reform so that it becomes the law of the land.

"The House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday favorably reported to the full House a bill that supporters say would strengthen President Obama's Feed the Future Initiative as it works to alleviate hunger around the globe."
"Pope Francis urges concrete action in global nutrition challenge at UN conference in Rome," UN News Centre, "Pope Francis today urged leaders attending a United Nations Food and Agriculture (FAO) nutrition conference in Rome to view food and nutrition and the environment as global public issues at a time when nations are more tightly linked with each other than ever before."
"Evangelicals a mixed bag on Obama's immigration move," by Adelle M. Banks, Religion News Service. "While Republican leaders blast President Obama for taking executive action on immigration reform, some prominent evangelical leaders are welcoming the president's plans to keep about 5 million undocumented immigrants from being deported."
"Empowering women key to ending hunger, Bread for the World says," by Daniel Enoch, Agri-Pulse. "Ending discrimination against women - including in the United States - is key in the global battle against hunger, according to a new report from Bread for the World Institute."

"While bipartisan efforts in Congress can seem few and far between, policymakers from across the ideological spectrum point to the tenth anniversary of the Millennium Challenge Corporation as evidence they can find common ground when addressing global development."
"Lamest lame duck," by Burgess Everett and Manu Raju, Politico. "Congress left for Thanksgiving without checking anything big off its to-do list during the lame duck, leaving just 10 days to fund the government when they come back in December and likely pushing big items like authorizing force against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militants and the confirmation of an attorney general into 2015."

The 2015 Hunger Report, When Women Flourish…We Can End Hunger, and the companion website are available today.
The annual report will be released at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. during a 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. EST launch event. You can follow the launch on Twitter using the hashtag #HungerReport.
Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World, will introduce When Women Flourish...We Can End Hunger, which shows why empowering women is vital to ending hunger and poverty. Women are the primary agents the world relies on to fight hunger. In developing countries, most women work in subsistence farming - the backbone of local food security. Women the world over feed and nourish their children.
The release will include a panel moderated by Sandra Joireman, chair of Bread for the World's board of directors. Panelists include Fouzia Dahir, executive director of the Northern Organization For Social Empowerment; Asma Lateef, director of Bread for the World Institute; Victoria Stanley, senior rural development and land specialist at the World Bank; Gary Barker, international director at Promundo-US and Andrea James, executive director of Families for Justice as Healing.
When Women Flourish...We Can End Hunger looks at discrimination as a cause of persistent hunger and makes policy and program recommendations in order to empower women both in the United States and around the world. Increasing women's earning potential by boosting bargaining power, reducing gender inequality in unpaid work, increasing women's political representation, and eliminating the wage gap between male and female labor directly contributes to ending hunger.
Bread for the World Institute provides policy analysis on hunger and strategies to end it. The Institute releases a hunger report each year that educates opinion leaders, policy makers, and the public about hunger in the United States and abroad.
Learn more about this year's hunger report at the companion website. The 2015 Hunger Report, and past reports, are available for purchase at Bread for the World's online store.

La siguiente declaración fue emitida a la prensa esta mañana:
Rev. David Beckmann, presidente de Pan para el Mundo, emitió esta declaración acerca de la orden ejecutiva que firmo Presidente Obama que proporcionará alivio del riesgo de deportación a cuatro millones de inmigrantes indocumentados:
"Aplaudimos la decisión de presidente Obama de usar su autoridad para mejorar nuestro sistema confuso e innecesariamente duro de inmigración.
"La acción del presidente es controvertida y tiene implicaciones importantes para nuestros partidos políticos. Queremos reconocer a los líderes republicanos en el Congreso que están tratando de responder de una manera que no interrumpa el proceso de asignación de este año.
"Nuestro apoyo de la acción del presidente no es acerca de la política partidista. Se trata de millones de familias que tendrán un alivio de las preocupaciones y las nuevas oportunidades para trabajar y salirse de la pobreza. Se trata de nuestra fe; la Biblia es clara acerca de cómo debemos tratar a los inmigrantes. Es una pieza de nuestro compromiso de traer oportunidad a todas las personas.
"Nuestra investigación demuestra los beneficios para los Estados Unidos que la inmigración ofrece. Nuestras investigaciones recientes en el "Rust Belt" y en Miami muestran como la inmigración está revitalizando diferentes vecindarios.
"La orden ejecutiva es un paso monumental en la dirección correcta, pero necesitamos una legislación permanente. Todavía esperamos que el Congreso reforme la ley de inmigración. Por ejemplo, el Congreso debe actuar con rapidez - en las decisiones de asignaciones que hará este mes - para hacer frente a la violencia y la pobreza en América Central que está causando la llegad de niños inmigrantes no acompañados.
"Pan para el Mundo también tiene un interés especial en los trabajadores agrícolas - hombres y mujeres que están entre los inmigrantes más pobres y vulnerables, sin embargo, son esencial para poner comida en nuestras mesas. El presidente decidió que él no tenía autoridad para reformar la manera en que los trabajadores agrícolas entran en el país. Esa reforma aguarda la acción del Congreso.
"La inmigración es una forma de escapar el hambre y la pobreza para millones de personas en nuestro mundo, y la llegada de los inmigrantes en este país está contribuyendo a la salud económica de nuestra nación. La orden ejecutiva es un paso en la dirección correcta ".]]>

Lots of wild blackberries
It's been a banner year on my farm. I just picked about 8 cups of perfectly ripe wild blackberries. Now I need to do something with them before they spoil. I am gluten free so things like cobblers and such are out for me. I'm thinking jam and brandy but I lack equipment and experience. I'll head to the store if the recipe sounds yummy enough. Years ago, I let a professional jam maker harvest my crop of berries and she made Wild Blackberry Jam with Brandy. She gave me a bunch of jars in exchange for the berries and it was yummy. She also sold out quickly.I was thinking of making that if you can come up with a way to sterilize the jars and avoid botulism without investing in a canning kit. I've got a lot more berries coming along which will be ripening later so I really could use some help with enjoying and preserving the riches here.
you can absolutely make any blackberry jam/preserves without a pressure canner or exotic equipment. here's the official USDA guide - http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/pub... you want GUIDE 7.
It's not hard to do.
You could also freeze them, but if you decide to make the blackberry jam with brandy, would you mind posting the recipe? it sounds DIVINE!!!!
re: jiffypop
One jam recipe I read simply said add a couple of tablespoons of brandy to the cooking berries in the last five minutes of cooking.
It is so easy to make jam. You don't have to worry. Just boil the jars and simmer the berries. So easy. Google a ton of recipes.
I just made blackberry ice cream using the following recipe, adding chocolate chips and 1 Tbs. raspberry vodka. I would have used Chambord but couldn't find it. Keep in mind the recipe makes more like 5 c. so make sure your ice cream maker can handle it.
It seems like you want preserve-type recipes, but I once had a Blackberry and Earl Grey Tea sorbet that I still think of and sigh. This recipe might make something like it (it has fresh ginger in it too though, which might make it better or worse, I'm not sure): http://www.food.com/recipe/blackberry...
re: magiesmom
Okay -- lots of almond flour for sale around here (Peterborough, NH). How would I make the crisp part? Guidance would be greatly appreciated.
re: susanl143
This is an example. If you have some oats that you are sure are gluten free you can use them instead of 1/3 of the almond flour.
Personally I like it with coconut oil but butter is fine too.
re: magiesmom
This recipe looks really easy. I hadn't a clue how to go about making the crisp topping so I am really grateful that you sent it. I've got some coconut oil I bought at Costco and have been wondering how to use it. This will make a start on the large jar. Thank you. I'm getting really excited about how yummy this great berry harvest is going to be.
re: susanl143
Adding some dried coconut or toasted nuts to the topping is good too.'
re: Chowrin
Philadelphia style ice cream!
Not familiar with this term. Please 'splain.
re: al b. darned
It's eggless, so not a custard.
Milk and cream and sugar, and blackberries!
Hi susan143-
You don't need a canning kit.
We just made 12 jars of "preserves" using a few kilos of black grapes from France. I say preserves, as I cook and add the skins of the grape, rather than throwing them out. More textural that way, and the taste with a dash of lemon in the mix is similar to your American Black berry.
You only need a couple of pots, perhaps one pan, and a few kitchen tools:
1. 1 Pot for cooking the washed and stemmed berries, adding sugar, and finally Pectin. You can cook the berries and mash them while cooking, or leave them whole if they are not too big. Our ratio of sugar to fruit is .5 sugar to 1.00 fruit, as we like it tart but not candy sweet. 1.20 hour.min cooking time, boil first, then down to simmer on low, stirring constantly.
Some breadmaking machines like Zojirushi have a jam program, which will heat and stir for you. But you will get more out of a pot in quantity.
2. 1 large pot for sterilizing jars and lids, which in the North America are currently $ 5.69 USD for 12 8 ounce Barr jars at Target.com online as a close out ( I just checked for you ). You can of course use larger jars, but 8 ounce is a little more manageable.
It is simple: After you fill each clean jar to 1/4 inch from the top, you add the lid and lid ring on to seal.
You then place each filled jar carefully in boiling water in the large pot for 10 minutes, submerged. A gentle boil is best, not a rolling boil. You can use salad tongs or spaghetti tongs carefully, if you don't have a jar lifter.
After 10 minutes, remove them the same way, and allow to cool for a few hours. You may hear an audible pop of the lid, which is completely normal. As the jar cools, the lid will be sucked back down by the cooling pressure, sealing your product clean, and sterilized.
In many decades of Summer fruit, we have never used a jar rack, or canning equipment. Preserves, sliced fruit, pickles, vegetables, or jelly will last well over a year unopened, and one month + when opened and refrigerated.
We use an inexpensive jar lifter, a colander, magnetic jar lid lifter, and a fine strainer and beech pestle, but none of that is a requirement. Certainly not for Black berries.
These grapes were so delicious that all you see left in the photo are now gone. Fortunately, I made the preserves before our kids come over this weekend. We have gifts of preserves for them.
I hope this is helpful.
re: SWISSAIRE
This was wonderfully helpful. Thank you. I've put the berries in the fridge for tonight-- went out for a martini rather than making jam tonight -- but tomorrow, I'll be jamming. Day after tomorrow, I'll start the blackberry brandy. The local store wanted $90 for the canning kit so I passed and bought pretty much what you recommended for far less money. The jars cost me four bucks more than Target but I did get to skip the forty mile round trip to the nearest Target which is worth something.
re: susanl143
Cool Susan !
You are resourceful, and just as wise with your fuel expenditures.
Next Martini, just think of me !
re: SWISSAIRE
I was chatting with a friend while drinking our martinis. She has a ton of wild blueberries. Mine are either out of reach or gone to the birds. She agreed to pick four cups of the wild ones at her house and I will make two batches of wild blueberry Eau d' Vie. Our Christmas gifts will be very popular this year, I suspect. I'm also set to try a recipe for wild blackberry spiced brandy I saw on-line. My next step is to find a decent brandy to use for making it. I think my really fine cognac would be wasted in this recipe but I want something better than rotgut.
re: susanl143
Evening Susan -
Christmas gifts of preserves, marmalade, or jelly made from Summer fruit are always appreciated. Our quiet Sunday mornings are best with homemade braided Zopf bread, and homemade preserves from the Summer. ( in fact I'm making the yeast ferment tonight for the mornings breadmaking now ).
Here we have about 2 months (mid-July to mid-September) to find and preserve fruit or vegetables for the coming Winter. It is not because we can't buy those items at our local Migros or Co-op stores in Winter. It is because we value the tradition and recipes using our own source of fresh fruit, passed on by being resourceful when we subsisted on such products to get through the snow and ice months.
Regarding mixed spirits you mention, the sky is the limit regarding experimentation with fruit. Damson Gin of the Mrs. Marple series is simple enough to make, all the way through to Black berry brandy you mention, and on up to Cherry Kirsch. Good filtration and air-tight storage bottles be your key to produce a good supply of fruit spirits, also to share and enjoy sipping by the fire, or to offer as prized gifts at Christmas.
It does not have to be Cognac from France, which although excellent, will become adulterated with the addition of fruit. A good but inexpensive brandy from any vendor will do nicely matched with Summer fruit. You have some excellent resources and recipes here in the Spirits section of Chowhound.
Let us know how you fruit preserves develop !
re: SWISSAIRE
Here in New Hampshire the winters are long indeed. Summer fruit preserved is precious and cheering. My little farm is marked in the history books as being on some of the most fertile land in New England. I keep it clear of anything not organic, and it was pristine land before I moved here, at least since the days of the sheep bubble in the early 1800s. Old stone walls tell me the land was used for the sheep back then.
Yes, I can buy good liquors or jams but frankly find the commercial blackberry brandy far too sweet and the flavor off. I long for the healthful tonic I know it can be but isn't. I do have a treasure in my basement for making the eau d' vie, bought back from Mexico years ago, of 200 proof neutral spirits. I'll soak the wild fruit in some of it and then thin to a more reasonable proof. I will head to the spirits board as I progress.
The jam hasn't been made yet. The berries are refrigerated and hopefully will be turned into good jam tomorrow. I figure the worst that is likely to happen would be a lot of wild blackberry syrup. I can live with that if my jam doesn't turn out as I hope. I will definitely report back on how it comes out. I am so grateful for the help and suggestions I've been given here.
Your jam and loaves are beautiful.
re: susanl143
I was looking up info about canning tonight (there are a lot of wild blackberries ripening in the park near me...) and found this starter kit--only $10 (plus shipping).
re: SWISSAIRE
Hope you some good Cocktail Ideas, I'm thirsty.
Actually i just opened a Kloster Andechs Doppelbock. I feel a bit calmer already.
I just picked blackberries from our alley and strawberries from our garden and made freezer jam (berries, pectin, sugar): 30 minutes start to finish, no equipment.
Last week I picked blackberries, pureed, strained, and added a little simple syrup. I froze it in batches. We add it to seltzer or cocktails.
At any rate, you don't have to decide now. Freeze them in a single layer, bag them, and figure it out later.
Definitely freeze flat on a sheet tray and then xsfer to a ziplock.
This chia jam is stupid easy with minimal sweetner- with the blackberries maybe use agave instead of maple syrup. Takes about 20min, zero equiptment but the jars. Keep in the freezer. Buy the chia seeds at a health food store from bulk bins for the best price or if you're near trader joes they sell them at a great price- adds protein and fiber and acts as a natural thickener.
And/or make blackberry vodka/gin/brandy, really easy- no special equiptment and lasts for almost ever
Jam making is not too hard - for a first time jam maker I would recommend a thermometer, though, to take out some of the guess work.
Botulism is *not* generally a problem with jam - it's acidic enough that this isn't an issue (which is why you don't need a pressure canner). If jam goes off it tends to go mouldy. If you're making jam for room temperature storage you need a recipe that is at least 2/3 sugar by weight - lower sugar recipes need to be refrigerated.
A canning kit is probably not necessary. You need a large pot for the boiling, and I would recommend a thermometer (as above) and a jar lifter, because lifting boiling hot jars full of jam out of a pot of boiling water is kind of tricky. You can also look up freezer jam recipes, which are quite easy.
For other things - how about homemade blackberry liqueur?
Definitely freeze as many as you can. There is nothing more heartening in the depths of February, when it seems that summer will never come, than the taste of berries. They can be added into a gluten free frangipane straight from the freezer. Or made into a compote.
Many, many thanks for your great suggestions. I didn't get to making jam with this first batch of berries but I did try Maglesmom's berry crisp using almond flour instead of wheat flour. I was surprised at how much of a normal but delicious taste and texture it had. I did add some oat meal and also a bit of ginger liquor to the topping. I also sprinkled a little maple sugar on it before sticking it in the oven. I made two pans -- one for a pot luck where it was very well received and the other for this household. The two crisps didn't use all my previously picked berries. The rest went into a large jar with Paul Masson Brandy. It looks, tastes, and smells yummy so far. I didn't add any sugar or other sweetener. I'll add that later if it tastes like it needs it but I doubt it will. My next blackberry brandy jar will be a spiced version.

While political pundits are still interpreting the 2014 election results, one point stands clear: voters across the country support public transportation.
About half the nation voted on state or local transportation measures—including public transportation. More than two-thirds of public transportation ballot measures passed, including:
Other states, such as Texas and Wisconsin, voted to raise or protect general transportation funding. These results make it clear that voters support allocating money for improving transportation—and that transportation funding should not be siphoned off for other uses.
Will the New Congress Hear Voters' Bipartisan, Pro-Transit Message?
Voters in red and blue states—from cities, suburbs, and small towns—supported public transportation at the ballot box. While local and state support for public transportation is critical, the federal government is still the nation's largest funder of transportation projects—and we cannot comprehensively improve public transportation across the country and build a truly interconnected, national public transportation network without the support of Congress.
The new Republican-led Congress will be seeking ways to demonstrate to the American people that it can make progress on key issues. They have a vital opportunity when they take up transportation legislation next year. Voices for Public Transit will be working hard to ensure that public transportation is well represented in those discussions.
We've already looked at the high cost of short-term funding and the growing efficiency of public transportation.
Now we're taking a look at the significant economic returns that come from investing in public transportation.
Does public transportation investment actually spur economic development, create jobs, and help household budgets? The answer is a resounding "Yes!"
The Value of Workforce Concentration
Studies show that when public transportation brings people together—in a city center or town hub—jobs cluster, resulting in higher wages and productivity. This hidden value of workforce concentration—technically called "agglomeration"—ranges from $1.5 million to $1.8 billion annually, depending on the size of the city or town, according to one comprehensive study.
On average, a 10 percent expansion in public transit services—rail or bus—produces measurable wage increases in city centers and results in a one- to two-percent increase in the local economy. These findings—based on analysis of more than 300 U.S. metropolitan areas—show that investing in public transportation services makes financial sense for regions of virtually any size.
Accessible public transportation and agglomeration also drive private investment in communities. In recent years, billions of dollars have been invested in business districts, residential communities, office buildings, and sports facilities along public transit lines. For example, Tucson's new Sun Link streetcar garnered $1.5 billion in investment along the system's route—even before service began.
Controlling Household and Business Costs
By reducing roadway congestion and automobile use, public transportation translates into cost-savings for households. Households become more productive and spend less on fuel and automobile maintenance. All told, these benefits result in increased household purchasing power of $18.4 billion per year. In the best of circumstances, a robust public transportation system can enable households to reduce their car ownership—e.g., from owning two cars to one. This can save a household more than $10,100 per year.
Businesses also save money when public transportation infrastructure is improved. Reduced roadway congestion speeds operations and delivery times, making businesses more productive and efficient. The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates the cost of congestion for freight transportation is now approaching $200 billion annually for all types of transportation. With freight tonnage projected to increase by 62 percent by 2040, it is critical to invest in public transportation to mitigate roadway congestion.
Economic Return Per $1 Billion Invested
A 2014 study conducted by the Economic Development Research Group determined that every $1 billion invested in public transportation would on average result over 20 years in the following benefits:
Let's Bring this Evidence to Congress!
If we're going to make public transportation a national priority, we also need to make it an election issue. Here are five things you can do on Election Day to raise the visibility of public transportation this election season:
For Voices for Public Transit, the 2014 election will set the stage for next year's showdown in Washington on public transportation funding. Congress needs to keep hearing that we want them to #InvestNow. Your vote and election activities will help us build momentum as we push for wide-reaching, long-term funding for American public transportation.
Once again, Voices for Public Transit looks beyond our nation's borders for insight into how we might improve American public transportation.
For the first time in our international series, we turn to South America, where we explore the remarkable bus rapid transit (BRT) system of Curitiba, Brazil.
Smart Urban Planning Leads to a Revolutionary Bus System
Long a commercial hub in southern Brazil, Curitiba has experienced several waves of growth over the last three centuries. Railroads reached the city by the mid-1880s, and the city replaced mule trams with electric trams in 1912. In 1943, Curitiba developed a sophisticated city plan, with a star-shaped system of boulevards and districts, but many components of the plan remained on the drawing board because of expense.
In the 1960s, with the growing population exceeding 430,000, city leaders again turned their attention to urban planning and solicited proposals. The winning plan envisioned a robust public transportation system built around a system of "trinary roads" with exclusive lanes for buses. Automobiles would travel on one-way roads parallel to the closed bus lanes. While this system required road closures and reconfiguration, it did not incur the massive costs of tunneling for a subway system. The project was economical—and would accommodate urban growth. In 1974, the system—called the Rede Integrada de Transporte (Integrated Transportation Network) or the RIT for short—carried its first passengers; it was the world's first BRT system.
Benefits of the IRT
Today, Curitiba's low-cost BRT system is one of the most heavily used public transportation systems in the world, per capita. The greater Curitiba metropolitan area has about 3.2 million people, and the IRT has a daily ridership of 2.3 million. The system provides numerous benefits—both to riders and to the city as a whole. Notable features and benefits include:
BRT in the United States
More than two dozen U.S. cities operate BRT systems—and this type of system might make sense for many other areas that need expanded and affordable public transportation. The latest round of U.S. Department of Transportation TIGER grants provided funding for several BRT systems, but greater funding is needed for the benefits of BRT to reach further.
Investment in public transportation pays dividends by improving communities and the lives of millions of people—by connecting people to jobs, education, healthcare, and friends and family. We see benefits as well for our environment because public transportation helps reduce air pollution. We can bring these benefits to more communities with increasing speed and cost-efficiency because of improvements in vehicle technology, financing, and how government works.
Innovation and Technology
Innovations in information technology, vehicle design, and energy efficiency are all improving the performance of public transportation systems. The positive results include reductions in fuel costs and air pollution.
Examples can be found around the country—in large cities and smaller communities. Dallas's DART system, for instance, is converting to a bus fleet that runs entirely on compressed natural gas (CNG). DART estimates that it will save $120 million in fuel costs over the next decade. Thanks in part to federal Clean Cities Grants—provided by the Department of Energy—smaller transit systems in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and several other states have added fuel- and cost-saving buses to their fleets as well.
Improved Financing
While the federal government is the largest single funder of American public transportation projects, states and localities also pay a significant portion of costs. Many struggle to raise funds or end up incurring higher financing charges, which drive up a project's overall costs. Financing challenges can sometimes stop public transportation projects from moving forward altogether.
To address this challenge, in 2012, Congress expanded a loan program originally authorized under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA). This program has helped speed transit projects, provided access to low loan rates, and saved local taxpayer dollars. However, while this loan program has been successful, its benefits have only reached 18 states. Long-term comprehensive transportation legislation would likely expand this loan program, enabling its benefits to reach more American communities.
In future blog posts, we'll look more closely at another trend that is helping bring public transportation to more communities more quickly—public/private partnerships, or PPP financing.
Streamlining Projects
As the saying goes, time is money. Public transportation projects can save money if reviews, approvals, and construction can proceed on an expedited schedule. While large-scale public transportation projects can take years or even decades to complete, government agencies are now piloting programs to speed up public transportation projects. These programs are testing concurrent reviews, expedited approvals, and collaborative decision-making. In one early success, the Los Angeles Metro system reduced the cost, community impact, and completion time of a light rail extension.
Transit systems and agencies are also improving project assessments and taking steps to ensure that investments are made in the best project proposals. The U.S. Department of Transportation's TIGER program does just that—though funding still falls far short of demand.
Right now, the pieces are falling into place to revolutionize American public transportation. To be sure, there is always room for improvement, but we now have effective transportation technologies and project know-how to bring enhanced and expanded public transportation to more communities across the country. The main thing holding us back is political inaction in Washington.
In 2015, we will demand that Congress put aside partisan divisions and pass a long-term, comprehensive transportation bill that provides certainty for public transportation developments across the nation.
In August, Voices for Public Transit covered a webinar with U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx where he discussed what it will take to evolve our nation's transportation system into the truly interconnected, 21st-century system we need.
Over the coming weeks, Voices for Public Transit will be taking a closer look at why we believe it's important to Invest Now in long-term public transportation funding. This series will provide specific examples of why Congress needs to set public transportation on a new and better course.
We encourage you to share these blogs with others—and to highlight them on social media with the hashtag #InvestNow.
Our first topic in this series? What is the cost of Congress's short-term funding fixes. In practical terms, because Congress has not been willing to pass comprehensive, long-term transportation funding in decades, American public transportation has been living paycheck to paycheck. Lack of funding certainty means states cannot confidently plan for the future. When funding is only guaranteed for a few months at a time, the risk of committing to new projects that require years of development can become too great—or can ultimately increase the cost of projects well beyond original projections.
This means that our local public transportation infrastructure is not keeping up with the needs of local communities. And that we are missing out on an opportunity to invest and grow our communities with transportation improvements and expansions.
Short-Term Funding Fixes Lead to Project Delays and Cancelations
During this summer's Highway Trust Fund crisis, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx and a bipartisan group of 11 of his predecessors—spanning seven administrations—sent an open letter to Congress calling for "a much larger and longer-term investment" in American transportation. In the letter, they highlighted several costly consequences of short term measures, noting that "the unpredictability about when, or if, funding will come has caused states to delay or cancel projects altogether."
In fact, in the weeks leading up to this summer's near insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund, several state departments of transportation planned to scale back or delay transportation projects, including public transportation improvements. In Oregon, for instance, new transportation projects were put on hold until at least summer of 2015.
The lack of sufficient and reliable funding has left America's transportation infrastructure—roads, bridges, and public transportation—struggling to reach a state of good repair. According to a recent report from the National Economic Council and the President's Council of Economic Advisers, 65 percent of American roads are in less than good condition, 25 percent of bridges require significant repair, and 45 percent of Americans lack access to public transit. Poor infrastructure and lack of public transportation adds to commute times, and Americans spend 5.5 billion hours in traffic every year. This translates into a cost for American families of $120 billion in extra fuel and lost time.
Bond Rating Costs
Delaying repairs and improvements to public transportation adds to overall costs—as conditions of equipment and infrastructure worsen. Inconsistent and short-term federal funding also directly costs states—and taxpayers—in the form of higher financing costs for projects.
States and municipalities often fund transportation projects by issuing bonds. Bonds enable state governments to raise money for projects that will be paid for over several years. In many instances, bond obligations are paid with dollars provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Previously, the reliability of federal transportation funding helped make the bonds highly secure, which meant that interest rates on the bonds remained low.
But because of uncertainty about federal transportation funding, that security has eroded—and state transportation bond ratings have slipped. As a result, states—and therefore taxpayers—face increased interest costs when they issue new transportation bonds that cover an infrastructure project. Congress's failure to pass a long-term transportation bill results in increased cost of our transportation infrastructure.
We have a right to be frustrated about Congress's inaction when it comes to addressing America's transportation needs. We need to be sure Congress gets the message to INVEST NOW long before next May, when our current short-term funding extension runs out.
Please share this blog with your friends and family using the hashtag #InvestNow—and post it on the Facebook pages of your U.S. Representative and Senators, too. If you use twitter, tweet a link to the blog at your members of Congress too.
If we're going to make public transportation a national priority, we also need to make it an election priority.
How can we do this? First, by educating ourselves about where candidates stand on transportation issues—and then by voting for those candidates who are committed to advancing American public transportation. And second, by spreading the message that we are voting for public transportation—telling friends and family, sharing our views on social media, and letting candidates know that public transportation is a top priority for the voters they represent.
To be a public transportation voter, you must know where candidates stand on transportation and infrastructure issues. Here are some ways to research your candidates' positions:
Remember to research not only candidates for Congress, but also those running for local and state offices. We need public transportation supporters at all levels of government.
All of your hard work researching candidates makes a difference when you get out and vote. Be sure you're prepared for Election Day.
And be sure to let everyone know—shout from the rooftops of social media—that you're voting with public transportation in mind.
This summer, Voices for Public Transit demonstrated that we can make an impact on transportation policy. With the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) and Mass Transit Account on the brink of insolvency, members sent more than 20,000 emails to Congress, urging action to avert an immediate crisis. With no time left, Congress passed a stopgap measure that provides crucial transportation funding through May 2015.
While this was an important step for Congress, it simply isn't enough. Moving forward, Voices for Public Transportation will call on Congress to do much more when it comes to public transportation.
In a national webcast town hall held, a few days after Congress approved the temporary HTF funding, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx shared his perspective on American transportation policy and what could happen if a long-term solution is not found. According to Secretary Foxx, maintaining the status quo, is not acceptable.
While transportation advocates, including Voices for Public Transit members, may not share all of Secretary Foxx's specific positions and priorities, there is significant consensus on some fundamental points, including:
In the weeks to come, Congress and local government officials will focus on the upcoming elections. We encourage Voices for Public Transit members to learn about candidates' views on transportation issues—and to ask questions about public transportation if the occasion arises at town halls, campaign house parties, and other election events. Your questions will help candidates better understand the importance of public transportation to the American people.
Once the election is over and Congress returns to work, the Voices for Public Transit movement will be laser-focused on appealing to Congress to pass a long-term, comprehensive public transportation bill. This legislation must not only provide funding, but should also lay out a blueprint for improving and expanding public transportation far and wide across America. We have a lot of work ahead of us—but victory is within reach.
Early this month, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx announced that 72 transportation projects in 46 states and the District of Columbia will receive a total of $600 million in federal TIGER—Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery—grants.
This total represents a significant federal investment in a broad range of transportation projects, including public transportation. But this dollar figure represents less than 7 percent of total grant requests, which totaled $9.5 billion. While the TIGER program—launched in 2009 as part of the federal economic stimulus program—has been highly successful – winning broad bipartisan praise -- it simply cannot meet the funding needs of communities seeking to improve public transportation.
TIGER grant awards are split among highway, public transit, maritime, and rail projects. For this round, Secretary Foxx said he sought "projects that will make people's lives easier and connect them to jobs and other opportunities." Highlights of public transportation projects include:
Helping to transform how local transportation projects receive funding, since 2009, the TIGER program has provided $4.1 billion to local communities. During that time, total requests for funding have exceeded $124 billion as communities clamor for transportation investment that will improve their local economies and the quality of life.
The results of the TIGER program can be seen across the nation—in new and enhanced public transportation systems, as well as improved roadways, traffic management, and intermodal transportation. TIGER grants have reached every state, DC, and Puerto Rico, and 117 grants have been awarded to projects in rural and tribal communities.
In announcing the latest round of TIGER grants in a blog post, Secretary Foxx bluntly acknowledged the impact of insufficient funding, writing, "[We] have a huge infrastructure deficit in this country, made worse by Congress's failure to pass a long-term transportation bill. Americans everywhere are seeing their opportunities limited by this inaction." We couldn't agree more—that's why Voices for Public Transit will be repeatedly demanding action from Congress in the months ahead.
Fundamentally, public transportation contributes to sustainability and environmental protection. Rail and bus systems enable more people to travel in less space, using less energy. As a result, compared to using personal cars, public transportation systems help reduce air pollution, traffic congestion, and roadway sprawl.
But many public transportation systems recognize that there is room for more when it comes to sustainability and environmental benefits. For instance, replacing diesel-powered buses with modern clean-fuel, hybrid, or electric buses further reduces air pollution and noise—and makes city streets more welcoming for pedestrians and bike riders. In addition, transportation systems—like any organization—can also look for ways to make their offices and operations more energy-efficient and earth-friendly.
Since 2009, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) has run a Sustainability Commitment Program (SCP) that encourages public transportation systems and affiliated businesses to adopt practices and technologies that contribute to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. In early August, seven organizations—including large and small transit systems—were recognized for their sustainability efforts. Below, we've rounded up examples of how these organizations are saving energy, reducing pollution, and more.
In recent years, several American public transportation systems have upgraded their fleets, and this year's SCP honors recognized the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CUMTD). This central Illinois public bus system has reduced air pollution by 46 percent per vehicle mile traveled by converting 45 percent of its bus fleet to diesel-electric hybrids.
Massachusetts' largest public transportation system, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), has a robust sustainability program that includes conserving energy and water, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting sustainable urban development. Its efforts—including the use of electricity from renewable sources—were also recognized this year by the SCP.
The SCP also encourages "green" practices that are not directly tied to vehicles and fuel. For instance, the Lane Transit District (LTD), located in central Oregon, was recognized for making energy-efficient upgrades to its facilities and expanding recycling and composting. LTD has also committed to including sustainability criteria in all future construction.
A wide ecosystem of companies and organizations supports public transportation by manufacturing vehicles and other equipment, engineering and building infrastructure, and providing a range of other services. The SCP recognized the sustainability efforts of one major public transportation construction firm, Stacy and Witbeck (SWI). SWI engages in a range of sustainable construction practices, including recycling, using renewable energy, and tracking emissions of its construction fleet.
Does your local public transportation system have a sustainability program? Tell us about it by posting to the VPT website or commenting on the Public Transportation Facebook and Twitter profiles.

This review is from: MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 FM2 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: Cheap, good for basic use.
Cons: Has not been reliable for me. Meant for much more generic usage I guess.
Other Thoughts: When my last computer died, I bought a pre-built HP computer (I upgraded to a 750w psu) and it had this mobo inside. When I updated the bios the computer would no longer boot whatsoever. I had an identical motherboard available to me and I am currently using it, without the updated bios.
After upgrading my gfx card to a high end one my internet connection has gone to ship. Even with a strong wireless connection or a straight wired connection my internet cuts in and out, my online games lag-spurt, and I am constantly dropping skype calls. No other computer in the house has an issue, and I have narrowed the issue down the the mobo. I have no idea why it is failing but I've replaced everything else. Even a newER psu.
This review is from: SYBA USB 3.0 4 External Ports PCI-e Controller Card with Molex Power Feed, Etron ChipModel SY-PEX20136
Pros: If you search, you can find the proper drivers for this product at sybausa's website. Google "sy-pex20136 driver" and it'll bring you right to it. Once you've done that, the product actually works.
Cons: The driver disc was worthless. It didnt run with autoplay and I was unable to find the drivers by searching the disc.
I had a hell of a time trying to figure out why my (win 7) computer would not recognize it. I also had issues getting certain usb devices to be recognized after I finally got it working.
Other Thoughts: I've got my usb 3.0 ports. This probably deserves a better rating but it was such a hassle to install that I just can't bring myself to do it. If you have any issues go to their website as i mentioned above. You'll save yourself the annoyance and you might end up with a higher opinion of this product.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Pixxo HS-22 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural Dynamic Stereo Headphone with Microphone
Pros: Very Lightweight. Long cord. In-line mic. Never had any issues with this. Sound quality is better than expected for the low price and at-first-glance flimsy appearance.
Cons: Cord is slightly stiff.
Other Thoughts: I hate wearing over the head headphones. They ruin my hair and the ones that cover my ears leave an icky feeling in my ears after much use. I also have a very hard time finding behind the head headsets that don't end up hurting my ears.
This is the perfect solution. Even tho they rest over your ears there is little to no stress or discomfort because they are just so lightweight. I use skype and ventrilo often and the mic quality is just fine, and so is the sound quality.

"The Society of Layerists in Multi-Media demonstrates through its members' art the dynamic transition taking place: the collective awareness is shifting from seeing humanity as separate and disconnected, to viewing it as an integral part of the cosmic whole. The Layerists depict the magnificence of this transformed vision through metaphysical images that portray memories, feelings and impressions of the past, present and future coalescing into a single captured moment that at once reveals both the universal and personal meaning inherent within that moment. The Art of Layering: Making Connections is an important book for our troubled times because it offers the unique perspective of artists whose work serves as a visual reminder of the energetic and spiritual connections that unite us in one holistic creation moving and growing together."--Barbara Ganim, author of Drawing From the Heart: A Seven Step Program to Heal Emotional Pain and Loss, and Art and Healing: Using Expressive Art to Heal Your Body, Mind and Spirit

There's little doubt that the caiman has some of the most adorable young of any animal. Caimans are nowhere near the largest of the alligator family, but what they lack in size they make up for in number, as they are common and widespread in South and Central America. The spectacled caiman is the most numerous and, alas, the most heavily hunted. Left alone, caimans are pretty harmless, just don't hassle one or you might be in for a nasty nip. Explore some of the three living species of caiman further below.
Scientific name: Caiman
Rank: Genus
The shading illustrates the diversity of this group - the darker the colour the greater the number of species. Data provided by WWF's Wildfinder.
The following habitats are found across the Caiman distribution range. Find out more about these environments, what it takes to live there and what else inhabits them.
Discover what these behaviours are and how different plants and animals use them.
