Frederick "Pop-Pop" Wright, Sr., was born on April 19, 1914 and died on November 27, 2012. A service of remembrance was held for him on Dec. 4 at the the Hood African American Episcopal Zion Church of Oyster Bay.
Mr. Wright was born to the late Robert Wright, a WWII veteran and the late Annie Mae Shepherd-Wright, who was a devoted wife. Mr. Wright was born in Philadelphia, PA.
When Mr. Wright was very young his family moved to Oyster Bay. It was then when Frederick, Sr. was united with his grandfather, William "Pop" Shepherd. Frederick was raised in Oyster Bay and attended the Oyster Bay schools. Ending his education in the eighth-grade, as a young adolescent, he took on work to help support the family.
As a young man, he met and married the love of his life, Naomi Marshall. This union was blessed with one child, Frederick S. Wright, Jr. Frederick, Sr. then relocated his family to Glen Cove where he worked and made a living for his family as a presser at Dykeman Cleaners for many years. After living in Glen Cove for 20 years, Frederick relocated his family to Westbury. At that time he worked for Grumman Aerospace, Bethpage. He retired from Gumman after 35 years of service.
Naomi and Frederick were married for more than 50 years.
Mr. Wright leaves to cherish his precious memory: Richard and Frederick S. Wright, Jr. (deceased) a.k.a. Freddy; Audrey Wright, his daughter-in-law. He also leaves loving grandchildren: Frieda, Kathleen, Karen, Freddy III, Patricia, Floyd, Sharon (deceased), Jeffrey, Ricky and Ronald. He also leaves 15 great grands and a host of great great grands.
Frederick Wright, Sr. also leaves to mourn two nephews, Craig Marshall and Brian Marshall, and many cousins, colleagues and friends who loved him dearly.
"The Wright family has lost a 'golden' family member. He will be missed as he was loved by all who knew him. Take your rest 'Pop-Pop', after a job well done," said Pastor Kenneth Nelson at the conclusion of the service.
Sunday, 23 November 2014 00:00Driving rain and an early start time did not deter 600 people who arrived at Crest Hollow Country Club recently to celebrate the Women's Fund of Long Island's 20th year and to honor four exceptional women.
The breakfast started with a meet and greet and a chance to showcase Women's Fund contest winner Patti Hogarty, designer of "Women as Bamboo." Inspired by her neighbor's bamboo, she entered the contest drawing a design of the bamboo, which Ambalu Jewelers of Roslyn then turned into various pendants of which 40-percent of the profits would go to WFLI. Hogarty wrote a short essay comparing women to bamboo in that they are strong and can weather difficult storms, yet remain graceful and continue to grow sending out new shoots.

Oyster Bay High School Principal Dr. Dennis O'Hara addressed the board of education at Tuesday night's meeting about offering a summer school program at the high school. It would be the first time the district had a summer school program in more than 12 years.
Dr. O'Hara explained that with the institution of the Common Core state standards, students are faced with a greater level of academic rigor and more challenging coursework. The program would offer remedial and enrichment classes for students both in and out of district.

In the history of Oyster Bay High School athletics, no one has ever won a Girls' Tennis New York State Championship. Celeste Matute and Courtney Kowalsky became the first when they won the 2014 New York State Doubles Championship in Latham on Nov. 3. What makes this tremendous achievement even more remarkable is that Matute is a junior and Kowalsky is a sophomore.
The girls, who are usually singles players, teamed up to take on the very best players in Nassau County and New York State. They won all 10 matches in the section XIII and NYSPHSAA tournaments and left Latham as the 2014 New York State doubles champions.

The conditions were as fierce as the competition earlier this month at Oakcliff Sailing's Halloween Invitational.
Ten teams from the U.S., Canada and Bermuda battled 30-knot-plus winds, heavy rain and biting cold to see who would take top honors at Oakcliff's final match racing event of the 2014 season.

For years, the Corvette has been blasted by the media for its cheap-looking interior.
But no longer.
Last week, Wards Auto, which has covered the auto industry more than 80 years, placed the new Corvette Stingray on its 2014 10 Best Interiors list.
For years, the Corvette has been blasted by the media for its cheap-looking interior.
But no longer.
Last week, Wards Auto, which has covered the auto industry more than 80 years, placed the new Corvette Stingray on its 2014 10 Best Interiors list.
If there's ever been a car that represents the red, white, and blue American ideal, it's got to be the Chevrolet Corvette.
No wonder, then, that the totally new 2014 Corvette Stingray rumbled to the top of a special ranking of the "most American" vehicles compiled recently by a Washington, D.C., university.
The 2014 Corvette Stingray has already taken home so many awards since its introduction in 2013 that we've lost count.
But the Stingray is up for one more award still to be decided that might just be the most prestigious of all: 2014 World Performance Car of the Year.
These are indeed Golden times for the Corvette Stingray, literally.
The latest award of many presented to the 2014 Stingray during the past few months came this week in Washington at the Annual Gala of the Washington Automotive Press Association.
Bob Bondurant will turn 81 next month, but the legendary racer and driving educator shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.
Take, for example, his induction into the Sports Car Club of America Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Charlotte, N.C., on Saturday.
Bondurant, who has been well known in Corvette circles for decades, has run the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, now in Arizona, for the past 46 years.
Back in 1990 Bloomington Gold introduced their SURVIVOR award for original, unrestored Corvettes. Award winners would need to be 20 years old, complete a short road test, and be at least 50% unrestored in 3 of 4 categories. Now, as we count down to the 2014 show, they've announced some sweeping changes to their SURVIVOR judging program.
The honors continue to roll in for the seventh generation Corvette Stingray.
The latest came last week during the Chicago Auto Show, and Tim Mahoney, Chief Marketing Officer, Global Chevrolet, called it "a fabulous award and one that we are exceptionally proud to call our own."
Here is the video from the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Monday when the Corvette Stingray was named the 2014 North American Car of the Year. CorvetteBlogger spoke to members of the Corvette Team following the awards ceremony for their reactions.
The 2014 Corvette Stingray continues to leave the competition in its rearview mirror, even in Canada.
After exhaustive testing by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, the Stingray emerged as the "Best new Sports / Performance" car in the annual Canadian Car of the Year awards – leading the runner-up by some eight points.
Silverado named North American Truck of the Year
For the first time since 2007, General Motors has won both the car and truck of the year awards at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
It was a clean sweep for Chevrolet as the new Stingray was named Car of the Year while the new Silverado was chosen Truck of the Year.

I like the thought of punishing him? - What women say about female led relationships
I like the thought of punishing him? - What women say about female led relationships
Discussing Questions about Female Led Relationships
The question "I like the thought of punishing him? - What women say about female led relationships" comes from one of our user polls. The current poll tallies are posted below. We post the polls to discover real world answers to complex and intriguing questions about female led relationships. The reader should note that questions are often cast in combination (groups of questions) to create greater clarity. To see the entire poll click here
*this poll was requested from women
The Opinions of The Authors of this Website
Many of thoughtful people have contributed to the authorship of this website. The authors of this website have thought long and hard about the question "I like the thought of punishing him? - What women say about female led relationships". We hope you find our viewpoint helpful and thought provoking
Most women like the thought of punishing their man. The follow up question is how? Is this physical, mental, financial????. Punishment is part of the mans fantasy of control. If she can punishment and does then she is in control because he "must" submit to punishment. After all the greater always punishes the lessor - so he thinks
What our users say
Sometimes I think that the mere threat of punishment would be satisfying if I were in a FLR say in or between levels 3 and 4...but there would have to be a real punishment(physical) at some point ,a point of reference to provide fear. I feel the use of corporal punishment to a submissive male creates an attitude of respect towards the female, a reality that a male can get his mind around as he is attuned to violence and it seems real to him where as more subtle forms of punishment confuse and irritate him
I cant speak for women. I can understand that submitting to our mates request or demands continues to support our chosen life style.
I am new to this lifestyle....well I've taken about a year to "come out" to my wife...and she's still wrapping her brain around it. I have learned a lot in the last year. I'm sure we have all seen the online..."material" that depicts wicked wives punishing their submissive husbands. I know I have and yes I find it pretty exhillerating. I also know through trial and error and some deep soul searching that this is not very realistic. While I agree that women like the IDEA of punishing their spouse in a playful way, most women don't want to ACTUALLY do it. The concept of punishment goes against women's upbringing. In some ways, I do agree that fostering a bit of a dominant mentality in women is healthy but I have detected a tendency of myself to attempt to direct my wife to punish me a certain way. This invariably turns her off and strains our relationship. It is SUPPOSED to be about her but it is a slippery slope before I start making it about me. I guess THIS is what I need to disclose to her....the fact that I have a tendency to attempt to top from bottom.

THIS IS IT! I have finally found the product I've been looking for. I'm so happy I could cry tears of joy. I have EXTREMELY oily skin and has gotten worse overtime. I have tried everything. Every primer, every powder, you name it. Benefit Porefessional, Smashbox Photo Finish primer (horrible product), MUFE Loose Mattifying Powder, Urban Decay De-Slick setting spray & mattifying powder, and the list goes on and on! Nothing has ever worked for my oily skin. By the time I finished applying my makeup, my skin was already oily. Anyways, back to this wonderful product. I purchased it today at Sephora and was indeed prepared for disappointment since nothing has ever worked for my skin. I applied less than a pea-size amount after my moisturizer had set on my skin. Remember to pat this on since this primer is really thick. Once I finished applying my makeup I went back and applied the same amount on top. After an hour I looked in the mirror and was amazed. I touched my nose and cheeks and they were MATTE. No oil whatsoever!!! That has never happened before. My makeup looks flawless and I am excited to make this product my HG!

Once you get the technique down, this will keep you matte.
I have an oily t zone with dry cheeks. AFTER putting on ALL my makeup (even powder), I PAT this on.
The trick is to use as little as possible. I put a little bit in a sample container. Then, I rub my finger on the product (to avoid globs and pilling). Then, I just tap the product where I need it.
That's how you do it, gals. Get a sample, and try it. Save the sample container, and buy the full size. It will last forever.

My face usually gets shiny/oily after 4 hours even with primer. But THIS primer is heaven sent. It lasts more than 4 hours; lasts the whole night.
How to use:
1) moisturize your face and let it sink in for at least 5 mins before priming
2) shake primer
3) start with a small amount and rub it together with your fingertips
4) pat and press the product in your oily/problem areas
It'll feel tacky on your skin, but that's normal.

After using bareminerals for years, I went to my local Ulta store and requested a consult. Bareminerals was not working for me anymore as my skin has gotten oiler with age. I was introduced to Becca ever-matte primer and foundation. I am in love! The color is a perfect match. A little goes a long way which made the expensive price easier to swallow. I used a really good foundation brush to apply which gave a light airbrushed feel and appearance. Did not even feel like I had makeup on. It is very buildable so you can get the coverage you want. After applying and wearing all day my makeup still looked fresh as if I just applied. I did not have to touch up at all throughout the day. Oiliness was kept under control.
This review is long overdue. Becca Ever-Matte primer has been a game changer for me, and quickly become a HG item after first purchasing over a year ago, shortly after its release.
My motivation for writing this review, is that this primer is notoriously difficult to use. There is a 'technique' to using this that I have been preaching on the MUB since I first purchased it.
First of all, you can't 'smother' this primer on your face like a regular primer - it is very grippy - it will not glide/slide on like a silicone based primer. It can easily disrupt any existing layers on the skin, in particular sunscreen. It can also make foundation very hard to apply.
The key is to use the smallest amount of primer possible, and only apply it onto oily parts of the face - this is a spot primer, not an 'all over' primer. Work in sections (think original formula Revlon Colorstay, that needed to be applied section by section).
Begin by picking up a tiny amount on your fingertip - I find this is easier to do by putting some on the back of your hand and working from there (as though the back of your hand is your palette). Pick up a teeny amount on your fingertip - so teeny you can barely see it. Melt the primer between your fingertips - I start with my ring fingers (think of using eye cream). I work my way through my different fingertips for different sections of my face (my sunscreen grabs my fingertips and messes with the primer a bit). Clean fingers for different sections helps, as the primer can accumulate a little on your fingertips as you work around your face. Fingers are necessary here - a brush or sponge/BB will not work. The primer must be softened for it to be completely pliable, and meld with the skin.
Once primer is melted on your fingertip, very VERY gently tap it into the area you wish to apply it. You shouldn't see any product on the skin when you do this - all that should happen is that the skin will turn matte as you tap. If you can see product on the skin, you're using too much.
If you are wearing sunscreen, avoid rubbing the primer in to the skin - if you rub it in to sunscreen, the primer will mix into it and it won't blend - you'll end up with dry, white streaks that you can't blend off/out. However, please note, I have only used this with thicker, physical only sunscreens (high % ZnO). I have not used this with chemical based sunscreens which are typically more cosmetically elegant so I cannot comment on how this primer works in this instance.
On clean skin without sunscreen, this primer will apply, blend and meld much easier - I can be a lot less pedantic with application when I am not wearing sunscreen.
As for makeup application - I typically use this under MMU. I find I need to do a good thorough dusting with primer powder after applying Ever-Matte primer, applied with a velour puff and pressed into the primer. This seals it off. I then apply my mineral foundation and can use a sponge and brush for that as I normally would. Without the primer powder in between, mineral foundation is harder to apply, as the Ever-Matte primer can grip in spots and result in unblended areas.
I do occasionally use this under liquid foundation. As long as I use the teeniest amount of Ever-Matte primer, I can still easily apply liquid foundation over the top.
Ever-Matte primer controls oil where applied on my face for at least 10 hours, keeping my foundation in check and preventing separation and caking. I need to blot very lightly after about four hours, but have no separation or loss of makeup where blotted. Without this primer, I have oil breakthrough in about an hour or two, and foundation disruption in about 6 hours. Ever-Matte primer holds up very well in hot and humid conditions. The product itself is quite tenacious and requires thorough removal.
The price is very reasonable at $36 USD for 40ml / 1.35oz. I have had my tube for over a year, and the tube is still more than half full. I use a tiny amount throughout my entire T zone, about half a grain of rice in size.
The packaging is functional - the product is easy to squeeze out and gauge, it stays clean, and it isn't bulky.
I highly recommend this to anyone who has problems with oiliness disrupting their makeup, and cannot tolerate silicone based mattifying primers. I advise anyone with dry skin to avoid this primer.

I got a small sample of this at Sephora, when I told an SA that I have oily cheeks and my foundation doesn't last through the day. This primer does a great job of mattifying shiny areas throughout the day, but as other reviews have said, it's difficult to use. It has a very thick and sticky consistency, so you actually really do need to pat it in. If you try to rub it in, it will pill up and get all over the place instead.
Since I have oily cheeks and forehead, but dry skin on my nose and chin, I only used this on the oily areas of my face; it would be too drying on the other areas. That said, I feel like it helped my foundation last, giving it a natural look, and helping minimize pores and other blemishes. I will experiment with other primers for oiliness/pores (specifically Benefit's Porefessional) before putting down the $30 for this primer though.

I prepared to be disappointed in this product as I am with most primers. On first use, I lightly rubbed it on after moisturizer. That didn't work well for some reason. So recently I decided to try it on my eyelids, as they are very oily and NO eyeliner stays put. I patted some on my lids b4 liner and also on top after I applied my liner. My liner stayed ALL day...no smearing, no fading...perfect. I was amazed! Then I thought, well maybe I should "pat" this on my face instead of lightly rubbing on. So I pat on my face b4 foundation AND a little bit after as well. It worked so much better. Really like this stuff. It didn't keep my face 100% oil free, but when I did get somewhat oily during the day, it looked more dewy than oily. That may also be the new foundation I'm using, Tarte Color Clay Stick primer/foundation. It says it's a primer but it's more like a tinted. Really like that too! Back to the Becca primer...like I already said, my eyeliner stayed perfect. My oily eyelid sisters out there will especially love this for that alone.
I received this as a gift and I am so glad that I did! I personally don't use this as an all over primer, I only use on my t - zone area. I use about a pea sized amount warmed up with my fingers and pat it(do not rub that will cause it to crumble) then I apply my normal primer. Keeps oil at bay for the most part!
So disappointed :( I tried doing all the steps and did them correctly but It just doesn't work well. It emphasizes pores, makes it hard for makeup to go on and ends up making it look Cakey. Didn't find it made my makeup stay on much longer than when I just use rimmel stay matte. So sad cuz I'm running out of options and am so tired of my makeup looking bad!! If you do use it, use it with very liquidy and runny makeup. Or else it will look Cakey!
THE WORST ! Made my makeup cake up and pretty much melted off my face. The formula is so dry and that makes it hard to blend. So because its hard to blend it will make your makeup stick to some spots and not others. all in all this is horrible and thankfully i got a sample of it.. if i spent the money on it and found out it was this bad, i would have been angry.

SAVEMONEY - "Still Alive" Featuring Joey Purp & Kami de Chukwu

Look out for much more music from this collective including a Leather Corduroys LP slated for release this year, Tokyo Shawn's "Wave Theory," and a new Donnie Trumpet project.

Wrapping up this week's portion of the 50 most valuable USC football players of 2012. We'll conclude the series with the top two next week.
NO. 3 -- S T.J. McDONALD
Vitals: 6-3, 205, senior
Comment: USC has very good depth at safety; it might be the deepest position on the team. But McDonald merits top-three MVP status because he's a special player and just as much a leader on defense as fellow No. 7 Matt Barkley is on offense. The son of a safety, McDonald was born to play the position. But he doesn't rest on his genes. He's among the team's hardest workers and an avid film student who's constantly seeking ways to get better. That's exactly the sort of example you want your veteran players to set. McDonald is also a willing and effective special-teams performer. Would USC's defense be all right with some combination of Jawanza Starling, Demetrius Wright, Drew McAllister, Josh Shaw and Gerald Bowman at safety? Sure. But McDonald's combination of leadership, playmaking and over-the-middle intimidation gives the defense the potential to be great.
(About the rankings: The criteria used to derive the rankings included players' past and projected production; their general importance to the team; how indispensable they are according to the depth chart; their position versatility; their ability to play special teams; and their leadership skills and other intangible traits.)

Laura not only went the extra mile in handling the estate, she went many extra miles to meet with my dad in the nursing home and at our house when he came here under hospice care. Her diligence, dedication, and attention to details were outstanding. She kept in constant contact through every critical stage, was genuinely concerned and caring, and always returned emails and phone calls promptly. Laura was a knowledgeable and encouraging teacher as she guided me through the daunting task of handling the estate which was fraught with many complications. Laura's expertise with legal technicalities kept the business of managing the estate on course.
I went to Laura with some concerns in reference to my estate planning needs. We discussed my concerns and Laura made some suggestions and or recommendations. After working with her for some time i realized how knowledgeable she was.
It was a pleasure working with Laura, as i never felt uncomfortable or rushed. She always explained things in a simple language. My particular estate planning needs were somewhat complicated and required several "special needs trusts" which i felt, that with Laura's help, "I had finally accomplished my goals".
I would recommend Laura to anyone, in need of estate planning.

Hi Gang,
Simple question -- SSL Gateway, as in, a single server/device that I can drop an SSL Wildcard Cert on and have it provide https:// for any number of internal websites which can be located on different hardware.
How to do this, without ISA? And apparently current front end f/w doest support this either.
Can anyone give hints, tips, assistance how ... do you do it?
I'd do it with Apache as a reverse proxy, but that's mostly just preference.
We use the sonicwall sll vpn

demo here:
See Reverse proxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for the broad principles and mod_proxy - Apache HTTP Server for the Apache module that implements it.
There's also Apsis Gmbh - this may be easier to set up than apache.
There's another good 'un that RobF has actually managed to bodge onto a smoothie, but he's not in yet, if this thread gets bumped I may remember to ask him!

Photos by Andrew Waits. Coffee culture is king in Seattle. Whether it's because of the eternally gray weather, the cool, rainy climate, or our inability to socialize outside a dimly lit café, there's no denying the importance of the caffeine bean in a Seattleite's daily life. And certainly we've earned our rep as a highly caffeinated metropolis, with more coffee shops per capita than anywhere else in the country -- many of them artisanal roasters selling specialty coffees. But the story of your steamy mug of joe doesn't begin and end with a moody barista. In fact, it probably started in the hands of someone like Edwin Martinez, a third generation coffee grower who has been picking coffee beans in Guatemala with his family since he was a young boy. From there, they may have passed through a co-op set up to help small farmers process and market their beans. Then they'll move on to someone like David Griswold, the founder of Sustainable Harvest, a specialty coffee importer who bridges connections between the farmers in tropical coffee-growing nations and the roasters in, say, Seattle. The roasting process will awaken the coffee beans' complex aromas and flavors -- and they'll soon be passed from barista to half-awake patron. And though you might be sipping on a half-caf soy latte with sugar-free vanilla syrup, you've really got the whole world in your cup. It's this story that a new exhibit at Seattle's Burke Museum aims to tell. Opening weekend of Coffee: The World in Your Cup featured exhibit tours, coffee tastings, and informative talks by Martinez, Griswold, and University of Washington professor Max Savishinsky. "We're really putting a huge topic in a small space," said Education Director Diane Quinn.
No, this isn't another cap-and-trade post. I'm talking about the yummy kind of markets. As we grapple with ways to reform food production in this country, one problem that crops up is the loss over time of the old farm-to-market networks that fed cities before air freight and transcontinental trucking took over. So even if we wanted to (or, more ominously, were forced to) re-regionalize our food distribution system, the infrastructure no longer exists. This desire, by the way, is not motivated simply by a need to reduce food miles -- a misleading measure for sure. I and others have talked at length about the misplaced focus on food miles as a way to guide food distribution. Rail, for example, is an especially good way to move food long distances -- especially compared to the option of driving huge fleets of diesel trucks even relatively short distances (which is why rail freight stimulus is such a great idea. Right, Ryan?). But as we explore ways to reform industrial agriculture and its reliance on fossil fuels in food production, more, smaller farms inevitably come up as an alternative -- and for that sort of system to work, they would need to be proximate to population centers. Speaking of the food miles argument, it's likely that, using our existing infrastructure, exclusively procuring produce from farms within, say, 75 miles of urban centers would cause the transportation component of agricultural carbon emissions to go way up. So, there's a lot to do before anything like this could happen. And thus we come to the point -- a means to counteract my recent gloom-and-doom posts. Ready?
Felix Salmon mused on the subject of Peakniks recently (and what a neologism that is!) after reading Ben McGrath's entertainingly morbid piece, "The Dystopians" in The New Yorker ($ub. req'd). While it's worth observing that "peaknik" has typically referred to Peak Oilers, I think it's safe to say that we're all peakniks now. McGrath talks mostly about financial doomsayers, i.e. Peak Debt and Peak Dollars, but refers generally, if somewhat dismissively, to the "Peaknik Diaspora" and some of its adherents. These would be folks who "believe" in Peak Oil, Peak Carbon, Peak Dirt, Peak Fish. Personally, I think Peak Carbon is a not a terribly useful way to refer to climate change -- although "climate change" is itself a not terribly useful way to refer to climate change (something that Gar Lipow has taken it upon himself to fix). Peak Things, in my humble opinion (speaking of which, why did IMHO go out of favor? Is there no longer any humility on the Internet?), should only refer to resource maximums. Switching that around for carbon -- i.e. we're trying to stop producing carbon so we can declare/achieve Peak Carbon and continue reducing from there -- is just plain confusing. So let's dispense with Peak Carbon.
It's been a bad week for food safety. First it was the peanut butter, then it was the high fructose corn syrup, and now it's deadly antibiotic-resistant staph bacteria (MRSA) in CAFO pigs (and their minders). And of course, as Bill Marler -- litigious scourge of the food industry -- reminds us, we're continuing to lose the fight against E. coli. Much has been written about the efforts to track down the sources of contamination. And invariably the companies involved quickly close the their doors (which is how we lost one of the largest ground beef distributors in the country virtually overnight and why the Peanut Corporation of America is no more). But what's truly worrisome is that in each case, the USDA and the FDA (who have joint responsibility for food safety) had information at hand about all of these problems. In the case of the peanut butter outbreak, the plant in question had a long-documented history of health violations -- discovered, not by the FDA, but by local Georgia authorities to whom the FDA had contracted out inspection services. In essence, short of allowing self-regulation, the FDA managed to find an entity that enjoys even cozier relationships with industry than the FDA itself has. In theory, the Georgia Agriculture Department should have forwarded on reports of violations to federal officials. There's no word yet on where in the lines of communication the breakdown occurred.
I heard about this on the radio this morning, and couldn't believe the uncritical reporting on it: The City of Calgary's entire fleet of trucks and buses may soon be partly fueled by biodiesel produced from Alberta beef tallow.Tallow is all that's left over after an animal has been processed. The city has been experimenting with tallow from the meat-packing plant in High River, Alta., as part efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions....Not only is the tallow in ready supply locally, turning it into biofuel recycles a product that would normally be thrown away, he said.Tallow-waste biofuel is also more ethical than other alternative fuels, since it does not displace food crops such as corn, which is used in the production of ethanol, he said. That's a neat trick of sunk-cost accounting. Sure, beef production is ridiculously carbon-intensive, making this biodiesel probably more climate-hostile than even corn ethanol, but hey, we've already got all this surplus cow fat to get rid of. I'm all for waste recycling, but reducing the production of waste is the first step, right? I'll confess this is a first-blush impression, and welcome the opportunity to be proven wrong. But doesn't this sound like a poor excuse to support beef prices?

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack talked about climate change, renewable energy and ethanol blends during a conference call with reporters on Monday. Here are excerpts from the transcript: From Vilsack's opening comments on the call: I also want this Department to be a national leader in climate change mitigation, adaptation efforts. This of course will involve conservation, greater efficiency with the energy that we have, as well as new technologies and expanded opportunities in biofuels and renewable energy. I'm going to work to advance research and development and pursue opportunities to support the development of additional biofuels, wind power, and other renewable energy sources. We need to make sure that the biofuels industry has the necessary support to survive the recent downturn while at the same time promoting policies that will speed up the development of second and third-generation feedstocks for those biofuels that have the potential to significantly improve America's energy security and independence. I expect our farmers and ranchers will play a role in making progress on the great challenge of climate change and on other major environmental challenges. It's important to me that the USDA lead efforts to incentivize management practices that promote and provide clean air, clean water, and wildlife habitat, and to help farmers participate in markets that reward them for sequestering carbon and limiting greenhouse gas emissions. It is my hope that the Farm Bill's provisions in terms of energy and conservation can be implemented promptly and properly and that we see the Forest Service as a new opportunity for us to engage in climate change mitigation/adaptation strategies. ... We also want the USDA to be a supporter of 21st century rural communities. We'll be looking at promoting the expansion of modern infrastructure, expanded broadband opportunities, affordable, energy-efficient housing in rural communities, expanded small business opportunities, and improving the quality of life through community facilities.

Brooklyn, New Yo...
I've had this fabric from the $1.99 a yard bargain loft lying around for a while so I thought it would be good to test this vintage pattern on. I love the print on the fabric but when I started sewing it didn't seem to dyed very well so wherever the needle goes in you can see a little bit of white.
This is a vintage pencil skirt pattern I liked because there's no side seams. I fully lined it with a vent in the back. It ended up being very comfortable. I decided to use an exposed zipper, but when sewing the waistband down I messed up and hit the top of the zipper. I had to take my machine in the be fixed and everything. The top bit of the zipper is dented and it won't close all the way now. I would ordinarily have replaced it but since I had already accepted disappointments with the fabric quality, and I had had a hard time finding a zipper with the right color tape, I just left it like that. I am very pleased with it and excited to make a few more.

Fantastic. Made it just as advertised and I thought the broth was a great coat-the-back-of-the-spoon consistency. And the dumplings! So good. Luckily this makes a bunch and we were able to freeze the extras.
Absolutely loved everything EXCEPT the dumplings. They were too soft and mushy for our tastes. Much prefer the ones that are more like big noodles. Will definitely make this again but will change out with a more traditional dumpling.
absolutely divine. the gnochhi can handle the broth and stays moist and delicious. great to bring to a friend who needs a Bowl full of Love.
I served this for a family dinner this past weekend, and it seemed to be very well received! I read people's concerns regarding the thinness of the broth beforehand, and decided to use one less cup of chicken stock. Moreover, I made my roux with a combination of flour and corn starch, and allowed it to reduce longer than specified. Those two things seemed to make a difference. The dumplings were an absolute hit. The nutmeg is certainly an interesting touch! I would definitely make this dish again.
The gravy was too thin, but the flavor was great. I cooked the chicken with a quartered clove-studed onion, a carrot, and a celery stalk in addition to two sprigs of thyme and a healthy pinch of red pepper flakes. I removed all of it when I cooked down the broth. The dumplings were heavenly.
This is a fantastic recipe. I didn't have chives but it still was amazing. Use homemade stock!
Delicious and easy. The dumplings melt in your mouth. The only thing that didn't go quite right is that the broth did not thicken up into a "gravy." However, everyone in my family thought that the consistency was just right with it being a little thin--it complemented the dumplings nicely and might have been a little "heavy" otherwise.
I only used the gnocchi part of this recipe and they were wonderful! I have tried several other dumpling recipes and am happy to say I can finally stop looking.
This is a superb recipe. I have made it twice, using 3 medium turnips instead of a parsnip. The only thing is I just could not get the broth to tighten up into a gravy. I had to double the amount of flour. Did I do something wrong? At any rate, the result was still outstanding, and my husband has requested that I make it as often as possible.
