On his blog, Chews Wise, Sam Fromartz recently reported that local food is booming, at least in the sense of demand outstripping supply. That's all good, I suppose, so long as the supply can continue to grow and keep up (somewhat) with demand.
My own local-food purveyors have been more of a mixed bag. My CSA, Dancing Roots, is doing so well it's renting out additional land (because it's maxed out the few acres it already has). But my former egg purveyor, Wooden Bridge Farm, is going out of business. Not because of inadequate demand, but because the farmers just got tired of another sort of demand: that of the farming lifestyle, with its long hours, heavy labor, and unpredictability (this winter's floods and snows devastated the farm's livestock).
I wish the Wooden Bridge folks well as they give up farming for a calmer, cozier life. And I wish Dancing Roots well as they continue to expand. As for me, my family is planning to focus more on really local food this year: our garden.
Isn't it interesting that even when the business still seems viable for Wooden Bridge, that there farmers still "hanging it up". I know I don't have the DNA to be a farmer, I just hope there continue to be people to pick up after situations like this and carry on.

DoD works out how military pay bill will impact civilians
President Obama signed a bill at the dawn of the government shutdown, and it could significantly increase the number of non-uniformed military employees exempt from furlough during the shutdown. So far, the Defense Department has sent no signals on how it would choose to enact the provisions.

|Brief Summary
The investigators propose to study the transfer of benznidazole into breastmilk from the blood of lactating women who receive the drug for the treatment of Chagas disease. Breastmilk and blood samples will be obtained from these patients at given times after they take the clinically indicated medication, and the concentrations in both matrices will be compared to estimate degree of transfer, which in turn will be used to evaluate potential degree of exposure of infants breastfed by these women. This study will help clarify safety of continuing breastfeeding while receiving treatment with benznidazole for Chagas disease.

- Dom De La Bergerie Sous La Tonnelle Anjou Blanc 2013 Product #28813 (In Stock)
This fresh, delicious Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley's Anjou region opens with enticing aromas of fresh pear and that signature hint of waxiness and hay. On the palate, it's fresh and lively, with a lovely streak of minerality that's much more sophisticated than you might expect at this price. Perfect with smoked salmon or soft cheeses.
- Ch Marie Du Fou Blanc 2013 Product #28463 (In Stock)
From the seldom-seen Fiefs Vendeens Mareuil AOC - although you can see several examples from the Mourat family here because we've simply fallen in love with these wines! Just a dozen miles inland from the Atlantic and a bit south of Muscadet, both Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay seem to ripen nicely here while retaining fine acidity and a touch of minerality, too. You'll find both those grapes here (70% Chenin) with a touch of oak from fermentation in 5 year-old barrels. Layers of wonderful complexity to the waxy white fruit - peach, white apricot, plum - along with green melon and Granny Smith apple. Sophisticated in texture and on the long, intense, finish where salty mineral and crushed herb flavors linger. An exciting wine that gets more fascinating the longer you drink it.
- Dom Regis Cruchet Vouvray Sec 2011 Product #26791 (In Stock)
A fantastic bottle of Chenin Blanc that teeters brilliantly on the border between "sec" and "demi-sec". Complex and captivating aromas of waxy asian pear and herb honey open things up. Then, juicy on the entry and explosive flavors of pear, apple, flowers, and a touch of spice that gain richness from a hint of sweetness before the acids break through and deliver a dry, crisp, finish. Very complex with deep flavors and excellent acids.
- Ch Soucherie Anjou Blanc Cuvee Les Rangs De Long 2012 Product #28272 (In Stock)
This lively, bone-dry Chenin Blanc is a wonderful example of the huge range of styles possible from this grape. Aromas of pithy fresh lemon and a bit of Chenin's signature wet wool give way to flavors of meyer lemon, fresh apricot, and racy acidity that make your mouth water! Perfect for spring salads, light seafood dishes, and fresh goat cheese, this is sunshine in a bottle.
- Dom Des Baumard Savennieres 2010 Product #28529 (In Stock)
Savennieres, just across the river from the sweet wine region of Cote du Layon, is one of world's greatest sites for rich, wildly complex, and utterly dry Chenin Blanc. This is a brilliant introduction to the delights of Savennieres, bursting with waxy peach fruit and finishing with complex minerality.
"A bright, engaging style, exhibiting fresh-cut Anjou pear, green almond, fig and brioche notes laced with a hint of butter. Offers a long, pure, honeysuckle-filled finish."Wine Spectator 91 points
- Dom Des Baumard Coteaux Du Layon Carte d'Or 2011 Product #28429 (In Stock)
A brilliant late-harvest Chenin that crackles with energy - drink with almond desserts or on it's own.
"This selection of grapes from old vines is presented as the least sweet and the lightest of Baumard\'s late-harvest wines. It\'s clean and dynamic, a heady, layered chenin with scents of jasmine, orange and apple butter. The juiciness comes up against soil-inflected acidity, a fine, sandy grit to ameliorate the sweetness. Pour it with a savory almond torte."Wine & Spirits 93 points
"The acidity is almost shocking, cutting through the richness of the wine. Its sweet apple and lemon flavors balance the honey and maple syrup notes. The wine is still young, demanding aging over a decade at least. beautifully ripe. Screwcap." Wine Enthusiast 92 points

DairyBusiness Update: July 30, 2014Print
July FO Benchmark Milk Price Up 24 Cents
The Agriculture Department announced the July Federal order Class III benchmark milk price today at $21.60 per hundredweight, up 24 cents from June, $4.22 above July 2013, and equates to about $1.86 per gallon. Class III futures portend a turnaround in August. The August contract settled today at $21.38; September, $21.30; October, $20.41; November, $19.67; and December at $19.25, portending a 2014 average of $21.64 per cwt., up from $17.99 in 2013 and $17.44 in 2012.
The July Class IV price is a record high $23.78/cwt., up 65 cents from June and $4.88 above a year ago. The Class IV seven month average stands at $23.19, up from $18.27 at this time a year ago and $14.84 in 2012. The Class III average now stands at $22.52, up from $17.69 a year ago and $16.01 in 2012.
The four-week, NDPSR-surveyed cheese price average used in calculating today's prices averaged $2.0482 per pound, up 1.2 cents from June. Butter averaged $2.3473, up 16 cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.8617, down fractionally, and dry whey averaged 68.9 cents per pound, up 1 cent. California's comparable 4a and 4b milk prices are scheduled to be announced Friday.
Dairy Expansion in the Making?
The cattle herd is still shrinking but more heifers are being retained, according to USDA's latest data. Cattle supplies remain tight, but a possible expansion is on the horizon. That's the gist of two cattle reports released by USDA Friday.
The number of cattle in calves was 95 million head, the lowest number since the series began back in 1973, according to USDA livestock analyst Shayle Shagam in Monday's DairyLine.
It's not possible to make comparisons to 2013 numbers because of last year's sequester, there was no July 1 Cattle Inventory report. However, numbers were down about three percent from two years ago.
Heifers being kept for beef-cow replacement are at 4.1 million head for July, down two percent from 2012. The number of heifers being kept for milk cow replacements was 3.9 million head, down about five percent from 2012.
The calf crop was 33.6 million head, which was down about two percent from 2012. It's also the lowest calf crop since 1948.
Korea Trade Pact Beneficial, However it's More Complicated than That
The U.S. dairy industry told the Senate Finance Committee's trade subcommittee Tuesday that the 2010 U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement has further strengthened U.S. dairy exports to the Korean market, even though it is not yet fully implemented.
At the same time, Shawna Morris, vice president for trade for the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), said a new and growing type of trade barrier involving common food names has emerged that is restricting access to the Korean market for key U.S. cheeses.
"(Korea's restrictions on the use of several common cheese names) are the direct result of their separate free trade agreement with the European Union," Morris testified. "In a nutshell, the European Union has been leaning on countries around the world to block imports of products by confiscating common food names and reserving them exclusively for cheese producers in their member countries."
The U.S.-Korea free trade agreement eliminated nearly all Korean tariffs on America's dairy exports. Morris said even though the agreement has only been in place since 2012, and its full impact is still years away, U.S. dairy exports to Korea in 2013 more than doubled the average of the three previous years.
Morris said the Korea FTA's dairy provisions could be a good model for the Pacific trade liberalization agreement now being negotiated with Japan, Canada and eight other countries. "We hope that Trans-Pacific Partnership will result in an agreement that we can support as robustly as we have supported the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement," she testified.
Despite the positives under the U.S.-Korea FTA, Morris said, a separate 2011 Korea-European Union free trade agreement is abusing geographical indications regulations to inappropriately restrict U.S. access to the Korean market for gorgonzola, feta, asiago and fontina cheese.
"Since approval of the EU-Korea FTA, the EU has expanded around the world the model it first developed in that agreement," Morris said. "EU pressure has resulted in similar restrictions in Central America, Peru, Colombia and most recently in South Africa. Canada has also agreed to restrict cheese names. And we understand the EU is pursuing similar objectives in Singapore, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam, as well as China."
Moreover, Morris said, it is clear the Europeans want to impose cheese name restrictions on the United States through the planned Trans-Atlantic trade agreement, which is also currently being negotiated. That is "entirely unacceptable," she said, adding that the U.S. dairy industry, together with other food industries and many members of Congress, want already-imposed GI restrictions rolled back instead.
"Our negotiators should only come to an agreement on Geographical Indications with the EU if it simultaneously rejects restrictions in the U.S. market on common names, addresses the trade barriers erected against U.S. exports to third-country markets, and restores access to the EU for key U.S. exports such as parmesan and feta," Morris said.
Morris' complete testimony is available here. National Milk's Chris Galen discusses the topic on tomorrow's DairyLine broadcast.
Northeast Butter Stocks Low, Output Varies/Cheese Output Steady
Northeast butter production varies, as some buttermakers clear available cream supplies to other dairy manufacturing venues, according to USDA's Dairy Market News. Inventories, which are substantially lower than last year's levels are available for obligations. Domestic demand is moderate.
Cheese output is steady. Available milk supplies continue to spur 7-day productions schedules for cheddar makers. Good cheese demand from travel resorts are benefitting food service transactions.
Lagging NDPSR Prices: Butter Up 4.2 Cents
The latest Agricultural Marketing Service's National Dairy Products Sales Report (NDPSR), released this afternoon, shows the U.S. average block Cheddar cheese price at $2.0083/lb., down 0.1¢ from the week before, while the barrels averaged $2.0606, up 2.5¢. Butter was up 4.2¢, following a 5.6¢ jump the previous week, and hit $2.4109/lb. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.8371/lb., down 3.2¢, and dry whey averaged 68.86¢/lb., up 0.2¢. These prices are used in determining Federal order Class milk prices.
California Powder Price Slips but Sales Up
The California Department of Food and Agriculture announced its latest surveyed nonfat dry milk prices at $1.7887/lb. for the week ending July 25, on sales of 13.97 million lbs. The price was down from $1.8109/lb. the week before, on sales of 11.12 million lbs.
Breakfast Trends Are Changing
Such is the message from a Kellogg's sponsored blog posting on the International Dairy Foods Association website that has implications for the dairy industry, particularly with respect to fluid milk.
Morning is when millions of people eat away from home. But today, how A.M. consumers make their morning food choices and purchases is dramatically different than how they've previously decided what to eat. Now there are a myriad of variables that affect how people choose their first meal. These include:
An unlimited variety of foods available in the morning, at quick-serve restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops and more.
More finely segmented demographic groups including employed vs. retired, urban vs. suburban, stay-at-homes vs. business travelers.
Changing attitudes about the definition of morning "meals." A relaxing sit-down breakfast could be considered a meal to one, while a protein bar and cup of coffee is an equally satisfying option for someone else.
Because eating behaviors have such a large effect on the foodservice industry, Kellogg's examined what motivates those who eat away from home in the morning. The resulting "Away From Home A.M. Segmentation Study" provides a ground-breaking analysis of the ever-changing morning food and beverage consumer. It takes a look at when, where and what people eat for breakfast and why they make these choices.
Not only does the study uncover detailed profiles and comprehensive demographic breakdowns of the diverse and unique types of morning consumers, but it also reveals their evolving attitudes about food choices made away from home. Breaking consumers' habits into five distinct segments can help operators assess their current breakfast menu and identify opportunities to build incremental sales by balancing out their offerings to meet the needs of the segments they want to reach.
For example, 15% of consumers bundle a salty snack and soda during the AM hours, with about half of those consumers choosing this bundle early in the morning. Understanding these and other trends can help users better reach their target customers.

Mielke Market Daily
(A daily wrap-up of dairy markets and the things affecting them, from DairyBusiness Update Associate Editor Lee Mielke)
The Cheddar blocks stopped knocking on the $2 door today as a sale took them in the other direction. The first two sales were at $1.99/lb., up a penny from yesterday, but the third and final sale was at $1.9750/lb., down 0.5¢. The barrels were unchanged again, steady at $1.9475/lb., with a bid at $1.94/lb. going unfilled.
Class III futures prices headed down.
FC Stone senior dairy broker, Dave Kurzawski, wrote in this morning's Insider Opening Bell: "Demand for cheese is still good in the country, but that seems to be more an argument for holding cheese prices steady here in the high $1.90's than creating a rip-roaring rally for spot prices."
Cash butter continued its meltdown, dropping 5.5¢, to $2.47/lb. Two cars traded hands, the first at $2.50/lb. and the second at $2.48/lb. A bid at $2.46/lb. went unfilled but an uncovered offer took it down to $2.47/lb. The spot butter has lost 15¢ in four sessions.
Kurzawski says "There is butter for sale at the exchange this week again, but that's not the surprising part. The surprise is that there are ample multiple buyers bidding for $2.50 plus butter. We have not worked thru all the tightness in butter just yet." He adds that nonfat dry milk "seems to have found temporary equilibrium where it's currently trading."
Cash Grade A powder remained at $1.6750/lb. for the seventh consecutive session, with no activity today.
Today's Market Closing Prices
Butter: Down 5.5¢, to $2.47/lb.
Cheddar blocks: Down 0.5¢, to $1.9750/lb.
Cheddar barrels: Unchanged, at $1.9475/lb.
Grade A nonfat dry milk: Unchanged, at $1.6750/lb.
Class III milk (prelim.): Aug. $21.38/cwt., -24¢; Sept. $21.30, -8¢, Oct. $20.41, -5¢; Nov. $19.67, -7¢; & Dec. $19.25, -8¢. Based on today's CME settlements, the Fourth Quarter 2014 average now stands at $19.78, -6¢ from Tuesday. The First Quarter 2015 average is now at $18.31, +1¢ from Tuesday. The Second Quarter 2015 average today stands at $18.05, -1¢ from Tuesday.
Looking ahead:
The California Department of Food and Agriculture will announce its Class 4a and 4b milk prices Friday and USDA issues its monthly Dairy Products report.

A classic Peranankan (Chinese with Malay heritage) recipe I got off Women's Weekly magazine to which I had made some adjustments. Yummy stuff esp if the taste of sweet brown sugar contrasted with the subtle tanginess of tamarind marinade appeals to you. You should be able to purchase tamarind pulp (assam) from asian supermarkets. Tried it and it's always a winner at family reunion dinners.

"A Thousand Miles" is a piano-driven pop song supported by a string orchestral arrangement, in which its protagonist (Carlton) pines for her lover, from whom she has been separated. Carlton said that she wrote the song about her grandfather, who had died earlier.[1] She has also called the song "a combination of reality and fantasy. It's about a love that so consumes you that you do anything for it. That's how I felt at that time".[2]
Composition and recording[edit]
"A Thousand Miles" is written in the key of B major. Carlton wrote the song's piano riff in the summer of 1998 at her parents' house in Philadelphia; her mother, who had been listening to her, said, "Vanessa, that's a hit song."[2] Carlton was unable to finish the song because of a case of writer's block, and did not return to it for several months. While looking for a record label that would sign her, Carlton played the beginning of the song for a record producer, who said, "You have to finish that."[1] She returned to her parents' home and finished it in an hour one evening, naming it "Interlude."
Some years later, Carlton recorded a demo tape (which featured several tracks, including "Interlude") and sent it to various producers and labels in the hopes that one would sign her. Some expressed interest, but Carlton did not agree with their suggestions for alternative titles for the song. One of the tapes found its way to Ron Fair, head of A&M Records, who recalled that "It was extraordinary, but also in some respects kind of screwed up as a record. It didn't press the emotional buttons the way I envisioned it."[1] Carlton met with Fair for a piano session to alter the arrangement of the song, "so the heartbeat came in a different way", Fair said.
During the session, more time signatures and transitions were inserted into the song, and the timing of the repetition of the chorus was changed. Additionally, the instrumental opening was shortened and an orchestra section was added by Fair; the lyrics, however, remained the same. He explained: "It has a lot of starts and stops to it, which makes it hard to achieve a flow, but I wanted to make a really dramatic record. The song is like a mini musical of its own."[1] "A Thousand Miles" took fourteen sessions to record, and was the first song recorded for Be Not Nobody. As well as conducting the orchestra, Fair also organized a small band for its recording: John Goux played guitar on the track, Lee Sklar played bass guitar, and Abe Laboriel, Jr. played drums. Carlton later said, "after listening to it I realized I was going to make an album that I was very proud of."[1]
The selection of the song's title was accompanied by a minor disagreement between Carlton and Fair, who was reportedly "adamant" about changing it. Fair said, "Vanessa Carlton is an incredible talent, but she's also very stubborn... I had to say, 'Look, I'm the president of the label, we're not calling it "Interlude". ' When you're trying to launch a career, people need a handle to pick things up from, and the word 'Interlude' is never in the song".[1] In its finished form, the song was first heard during a scene in the Reese Witherspoon film Legally Blonde (2001), and was featured on the film's soundtrack under the title "A Thousand Miles (Interlude)". The final title of the song, "A Thousand Miles", was based on a suggestion by Fair's nephew. After the song's completion, Fair said that he listened to it repeatedly and "it made me weep. That's usually my litmus test. If I cry, I know it's a hit".[1]
Despite this, he was concerned that the song's piano basis would put it at a disadvantage in the marketplace if it were to be released as a single. Fair played "A Thousand Miles" in front of his superior Jimmy Iovine, the co-chairman of Interscope-Geffen-A&M. Iovine was very impressed with the song, and requested that a music video be filmed immediately for it. After the video had been completed it was presented to Tom Calderone, the Vice President of Programming for MTV, in early 2002. Calderone expressed a desire to begin broadcasting the video at once and Fair agreed to his request, even though the album was still in production at the time and Carlton's marketing "image" had not yet been developed.[1]
Promotion and chart performance[edit]
In the U.S. "A Thousand Miles" was released as a CD single on February 12 and debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 later that month; it peaked at number five for three weeks in May and remained on the chart for 41 weeks.[3] The album Be Not Nobody was released on April 30 and, partly because of the popularity of "A Thousand Miles", debuted in the U.S. top five with first-week sales of over 101,000 copies.[4][5] It was 2002's sixth most-played single on U.S. radio (ranking sixth on the Hot 100 2002 year-end chart[6]), and sold well in other countries (where it was promoted and released over the summer months). It was a top five hit in Ireland and France, and managed to reach the top ten in other parts of Europe such as the United Kingdom, Italy and the Netherlands. It was most popular in Australia, where it became the sixth most successful single of the year[7] and held the number-one position on the ARIA Singles Chart for two weeks, from August 11 to August 24. It replaced a Junkie XL remix of "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis Presley, and was itself replaced by Avril Lavigne's "Complicated". It also reached the top 20 in Germany. E! Online said the song was "a bona fide hit for good reason. Catchy pop on the surface, it has melodic complexity beneath that bodes well for repeated listening".[8] It failed to chart in Japan.
Carlton told the website Contactmusic.com of the first time she watched the single's music video, in which she is seen playing the piano while traveling through a variety of settings:
- "I was in the studio and had just taken a break, when someone ran in the room and said, 'You're on MTV!' We put it on and I just stared at the screen. After a few minutes, I just covered my eyes and started to laugh. It seemed so surreal. The night after that, I heard the song on the radio for the first time. It was all so unbelievable."[9]
It received heavy airplay on the channel following its premiere on the top-ten video program Total Request Live in early January, and was popular enough to be retired from the show's countdown.[10] There was speculation that bluescreen techniques had been utilized during its creation, but according to Carlton it was "100 percent real"; she also said she felt that Marc Klasfeld (the video's director) "captured who I was in that video",[2] and he was selected to direct the video for the album's follow-up single, "Ordinary Day".
Both the album and single were given substantial promotion on the Internet. AOL Music reported that a 20-minute selection of video content involving Carlton that the website had hosted, including the "A Thousand Miles" video and Carlton's performance of the song for Sessions@AOL, drew over one million requested downloads and streams prior to the release of Be Not Nobody.[11][12] The Sessions recording of "A Thousand Miles" was later included on the album Sessions @ AOL, released in October 2003. The single version was featured on the hits compilation Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 10 in the U.S., and the 53rd volume of the NOW! series in the UK.
Music video[edit]
The music video was filmed in Newbury Park, California and begins with Carlton going into her garage and throwing a sheet off her piano. She starts playing and the song begins, and while she's playing, the piano starts moving outside near parades downtown, joggers out on the road, through the beach, and other parts of the city. At the end of the video, she's back in her garage where the video began and she gets up and leaves the garage.
Reception, awards and legacy[edit]
"A Thousand Miles" won in the "Can't Get You out of My Head" category at the VH1 "Big in 2002" Awards,[13] and it was nominated for three Grammy Awards: "Record of the Year", "Song of the Year" and "Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s)". It lost "Song of the Year" and "Record of the Year" to Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why", while the "Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s)" award went to "Mean Old Man" performed by James Taylor. The song became popular amongst U.S. troops serving in Iraq, and in April 2003 the Chicago Sun-Times reported that it had become the most requested song on the radio station British Forces Broadcasting Service Middle East. Carlton responded, "Perhaps, 'A Thousand Miles' conveys the feelings and longing and desperation that the U.S. soldiers feel for their loved ones. I don't know. But whatever peace I am able to bring to the hearts of the people at war is a contribution that I am proud of".[14][15] By May 2003 the website Musicnotes had sold a record 10,000 pieces of digital sheet music for "A Thousand Miles", and it won the website's "Song of the Year" award.[16] The song's production team was nominated for a 2003 Technical Excellence & Creativity Award in the category of "Outstanding Creative Achievement in Record Production — Single or Track".[17]
The song won critical acclaim from music critics. Billboard magazine opined, "it's the song's classical-tied piano hook that endures with urgency throughout the song that lends it spectacular charm, along with the artist's vulnerable vocal style... A truly auspicious opening."[18] Most other critics gave Be Not Nobody mixed reviews, but generally praised the song. Allmusic wrote: "as it moves from its solo orchestral-backed choruses, the result isn't overwhelming, it's sweet, multi-layered, and appealing".[19] Sean Richardson of the Boston Phoenix made favourable comparisons between "A Thousand Miles" and Michelle Branch's debut single "Everywhere", saying, "it's a good-natured reverie, with none of the troubled soul searching that characterizes the work of Tori and Fiona. She occasionally evokes her piano-playing predecessors by raising her girlish voice to a howl, but she's better off being herself".[20] Adrien Begrand of PopMatters magazine said the song was "catchy and hard to dislike", but characterized it as "the sort of girly-voiced, introspective pop that is made to please people who are looking for singer/songwriters who look and sound profound, but actually have nothing to say".[21]
"A Thousand Miles" continued to receive regular rotation on Adult Contemporary and Adult Top 40 radio stations two years after its original release, and Billboard magazine has named it "one of the most enduring songs of the millennium".[22] Carlton has said that rappers such as Fabolous and Ja Rule "really like this song."[23] An African-American posing as a white teenage heiress in the comedy film White Chicks (2004) refers to it as "like, the whitest song ever", while the girls who are listening to it with him declare it their "jam", it's played again two more times in the film when Terry Crews' character sings this song to Marlon Wayans' character, and when Terry Crews' character sings it to the Wilson twins. Terry Crews' character in the film sings along with it and shakes his head hard when he hears the orchestrated hook. The song is also prominently featured in the Season 3 finale titled "Flashback in the Day" of the television sitcom Workaholics.
The song is Carlton's most successful single, and her only top twenty hit in the U.S.; her next highest peaking single, "Ordinary Day", went no higher than the top thirty. Carlton told VH1 in 2004, "I just sit down and write my songs ... It just kind of happened and it will never happen again like that."[24] A writer for the Boston Phoenix said that with the song Carlton "won favor with smart but awkward teenage girls who didn't see themselves in more evidently constructed teen-pop personalities like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera",[25] and Slant magazine said it "helped pave the way for an industry beginning to take a turn away from bubblegum pop".[26] The opening piano melody to the song was used in U.S. jewellery retailer Zales' holiday ad campaign in late 2006 and 2007.[27]
In 2011, New Zealand Winery Brancott Estate used the song's instrumental background for a wine advert.[28]

In The Lake Of Fire Lyrics - Holy Blood
Darkness absorbs the minds of the people,
And people become mad beasts,
But darkness will not stay long, only before the rise of day,
And only those who runs to the light, Can save themselves.
All of my life is beside the altar,
The unearthly light is opened in front of you,
My soul is tipsy of you,
Through the darkness in me I run to You.
Lord - salvation, Jesus - the light,
That will dismiss the darkness to burn aflame,
And the day will came only for one,
Who searches the truth in his soul
Oh, save me, Lord,
Keep me from fire,
Don't allow my soul to burn,
Lord, I run to You
My soul runs to the place where darkness has died
Where there is no evil and no grief, where the sunrises appears
The day will come and there will be no darkness
Hear the warmth of the day, there will be no grief,
The day will come and light will destroy the darkness
In the lake of fire the evil will burn
In lake of fire (4x)

If you'd told me 15 years ago that this one-time ferocious livetronica quartet would be sharing a building with Phish on New Year's Eve, I'd've plotzed. Now, not so much, particularly since two core members' energy has been redirected to experimental hip-hop and other flavas. But note the late hour, consider the competition, check out Rich Steele's tight mixes on archive.org, take a leap of faith, and you should be pleasantly surprised.

Ask the Governor
Va. Gov. Bob McDonnell (runs 55 min.)
RICHMOND, Va. -- Gov. Bob McDonnell says he will return remaining gifts to himself and his family from a major campaign donor and businessman who lavished Virginia's first family with tens of thousands of dollars in gifts for years.
McDonnell also said Tuesday on his monthly call-in show on Washington's WTOP radio that he repaid nearly $125,000 in personal and business loans from Star Scientific chief executive Jonnie Williams last week. The loans were repaid with personal assets, loans and help from family members.
"Those gifts that I have in my possession, I am working with my counsel to return them," McDonnell said.
McDonnell said he was "deeply sorry" for breaching the public's trust.
"I was not in the role of promoting Star Scientific," McDonnell said about Williams' business.
"I am first of all on repairing any loss of trust that I have experienced with the citizens," McDonnell said.
"I have said I am embarrassed with some of the decisions that have been made by me or my family that have undermined that trust.

Soil conservation aims to prevent the rapid erosion and overuse of soil. Most trees and other plants require soil to thrive because soil provides nutrients. Conservation of soil involves improving and maintaining general soil health through various practices including planting trees, rotating crops, and tilling.
Soil erodes rather quickly and takes quite a long time to naturally develop. The detrimental effects of weathering and erosion can be managed through soil conservation though. Nutrient-poor soil does not promote as vigorous vegetative growth as nutrient-rich soil. Good soil conservation contributes to better crop yields, enriched lands, and a balanced environment. Conservation of soil is especially important in countries with agriculture-based economies where entire populations depend on the success of crops.
Planting trees is one of the most common methods of soil conservation. As the trees mature, they grow deep roots, which stabilize soil and help prevent soil erosion. Trees, plants, and other vegetation also act as windbreakers, making it difficult for wind to shift away the soil beneath them.
Rotating crops is also an effective means of soil conservation. Cultivating the same crop for several consecutive seasons can cause pathogens to rapidly build up in the soil. Rotating crops involves growing different crops in a particular area across growing seasons. This practice improves overall soil fertility and structure. It also curbs pathogen build-up and helps prevent rapid nutrient depletion.
Terraces on hilly terrain help prevent soil from washing downhill when it rains. The practice of contour plowing involves plowing across slope contour lines to slow water runoff and prevent soil from washing away. Too much water can be disastrous to soil but too little water promotes erosion. Watering dry soil is an easy way to prevent soil erosion by the wind.
Tilling involves plowing and preparing soil for farming. Over time, this repeated process can make soil too compact to support any organisms including earthworms, which help aerate and enhance soil. No-till farming is a relatively effective means of soil conservation and can still lead to generous crop yields.
Maintaining the soil itself is perhaps the most effective means of soil conservation. Acid rains and basic or acidic pollutants can dramatically affect the pH level of soil. Nutrient availability in soil is greatly affected by pH levels. Salinity management ensures that soil does not accumulate an excessive amount of salts. Soil with high salt concentrations discourages vegetative growth, contributing to soil erosion.

Mother, 2 kids trapped in Kennewick park restroom
Jennifer Ayala of Kennewick would like to find the three Good Samaritans who freed her and her family from a Columbia Park restroom Monday evening.
Tri-City Herald / MCT
KENNEWICK — Jennifer Ayala of Kennewick would like to find the three Good Samaritans who freed her and her family from a Columbia Park restroom Monday evening.
The incident occurred shortly after 5 p.m. when Ayala and her two sons — Peter, 5, and Robert, 3 — entered the restroom, located in an older building near the golf course maintenance shop.
Peter closed the metal door to the building out of habit, and it jammed. Jennifer's cellphone was in the car with a dead battery.
"I'd been taking pictures of the boys," she said.
The next two hours were the stuff of nightmares, stuck in the restroom with a howling Chihuahua as joggers ambled past on the bike path, oblivious to her screams from the window.
Ayala tried everything she could think of to open the door, including prying it from the bottom with her fingers.
"I could just wedge them between the floor and the bottom of the door. I pulled as hard as I could and actually bent it a bit. but it wouldn't open," she said.
She climbed on top of one of the cement stall walls and tried using her car key to unscrew the metal grate over one of the windows. But the key was too fat and wouldn't fit in the slot of the screws.
She even tried waving her son's bright blue shirt out the hole where the doorknob would have been.
"I was hoping to catch someone's attention. That they'd be curious enough to come and check. But no one did," she said.
As the minutes stretched into hours, she began to get desperate.
"I was screaming at this point," she said. "It was upsetting the boys, they were crying. And every time I screamed our Chihuahua, Piper, who was in the restroom with us, would howl."
Eventually, two women driving by heard her and stopped to help. But they couldn't budge the door, so one went for help.
The man they enlisted for assistance hit the door hard five or six times before it popped open.
By then the kids and their mom were too emotionally upset to properly thank the Good Samaritans who came to their aid.
Ayala said she kept her composure enough to get her sons home, then "cried for a good hour."
She called the city of Kennewick on Tuesday to report the problem. Broderick Gant, the parks and maintenance supervisor, promised to get a crew out there today to fix the door.
"We don't normally close the doors to that facility," Gant said. "There's no lock on the outer doors."
Ayala described the entrapment as "a very weird experience."
"As a mother, it worries me. Here I was screaming at the top of my lungs in a city park and no one responded for over an hour," she said. "That's troubling."

I don't drink much wine. I like red wine, but after you've had red wine come out your nose (at a restaurant, no less), you tend to avoid it. And I don't really care for most white wines. But I do like champagne and prosecco. Especially as part of a cocktail.
A bellini is basically just peaches and prosecco, and it was far easier to make than I would have imagined. Straining the blended peach puree was the only annoying part, and I'm sure that would have been better if I had a better strainer.
Note: Champagne only comes from the Champagne region of France. Prosecco is from Italy. You are supposed to use prosecco for a bellini, but I think any sparkling white wine would work. We like these small bottles because it is inadvisable for the two of us to drink an entire bottle of anything by ourselves in one sitting. Especially on a school night.
Peach bellinis (Adapted from Barefoot Contessa) Makes 3-4
2 small ripe peaches
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Prosecco or other sparkling white wine
Chill prosecco.
Peel and chop the peaches. Place in a blender or food processor with lemon juice and sugar. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more lemon juice or sugar, if necessary.
Strain peach mixture into a small bowl. Place two tablespoons peach puree in each champagne glass, then fill glasses with cold prosecco and serve immediately*. Refrigerate any unused peach puree.
*The peach mixture wasn't mixing well with the prosecco when I made mine, so I stirred it a bit with a butter knife.

It's better late than never for the new Carkeek 60 Ichi Ban, which arrived in Oz a couple of weeks ago from Dubai just in time for fitout and launch before the 2013 Hobart Race.
With a fleet including a couple of late model Volvo 70s, five 100-footers including the Loyal (ex-Speedboat), and a couple of badass mini-maxi downwind monsters — Ichi and the sparkly new Botin 80 Beau Geste – and even the full fleet of Clipper/Winnebago 70s, 2013 is looking like the best Hobart big-boat fleet in a decade.

Oz bookshop to deliver by drone
An Australian university textbook rental outfit called Zookal has promised to deliver its wares by drone. Zookal has teamed with another Sydney startup, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) outfit Flirtey, to deliver books. Customers order books using their smartphone and once loaded Flirtey's drone homes in on that device thanks to …
It's been a while
but I seem to remember textbooks tend to be very heavy. Maybe they should go with octacopters. Even then I'm not sure I'd want to be underneath one when something goes wrong.
Re: It's been a while
I have one that weighs 4lbs, hard hats compulsory.
Headline 'chihuahua dies crushed by medical textbook dropped from 500'
Re: It's been a while
but I seem to remember textbooks tend to be very heavy.
The plan is that a heavy book will be digitized and shipped on a USB flash drive.
Re: It's been a while
Maybe one day we'll have a wide area computer network that would allow files to be downloaded directly from servers to clients all over the world.
We can but dream.
What could go wrong?
The hexacopter drone homes in on the customer's location based on the customer phone's GPS (either continous or as recorded at the time of the order). Does the hexacopter control centre know about power pylons, telephone poles, high buildings, etc? Does it know how to open doors, etc? This could be the start of some hilarious You Tube videos.
Re: What could go wrong?
You should probably write to them, they probably never thought that it would be good if their drones din't fly into things.
Re: What could go wrong?
I recognise sarcasm when I see it (as well as many other things). Do they have a map of every lamp post and flagpole and overhead cable? Will students never run behind a newly installed crane (or whatever) so they can get a YouTube worthy video of a drone fragmenting itself? Will students order a book and then drive around in cars or on bikes for the fun of seeing the drone trying to keep up with them? I know I would, but maybe that's just me.
Re: What could go wrong?
Most autonomous navigation systems don't need to know this kind of information, they just work it out as they make their way towards a destination, much like humans do.
Nice idea
Clearly it has a way to go, and textbooks is the silliest of starting points, but an independent delivery network that doesn't get caught in traffic isn't a bad idea for certain classes of goods. Vaccines between hospital campuses could be a time when you'd want fast point to point delivery.
It's just a modern carrier pigeon that eats fossil fuels as opposed to grain.
Re: Nice idea
Electrically powered usually. The big advance was the extremely light weight of LIPO cells.
Who cares if it's a really silly idea
It's proper SciFi and just plain cool.

Nope, it's just that whenever Air Force One is about, air traffic is halted.
Ground traffic as well.

Text Books / eBooks
No eReader is suitable yet to properly replace Text books. Novels are great. Reference works can be OK if done properly (A PDF of images of scanned book is painful).
Also the regular size kindle is too small for text books. If I get the now re-appeared Kindle DX**, I will test it,
Need easier annotation, better bookmarks*, goto by click on place on bar representing "depth" of book so you can flip into via "binary tree" like search as you would do on a paper one when you know roughly the location but not page number.
*Maybe show the Favourite Bookmarks as icons on a bar representing the depth of book.
BTW, Apple, I designed all this in 1987, so don't bother trying to patent it.
(** is re-released DX a newer screen like Paper White? Amazon site seems vague)
Mines the one with a Kindle paper white in the pocket.
Re: Text Books / eBooks
Well I just ordered the new version of Kindle DX. 1/3rd price of a top iPad, but no competition to a Tablet. It might compete well with paper textbooks, scanned books and A4 PDFs on a 1600 x 1200 laptop. I may save a lot on laser printing. Print to PDF and copy via USB to Kindle DX.
I'll not rush into buying text books till the eVersions are a LOT cheaper than dead tree versions.
Its just a middleman
Im guessing it will ferry the books to a local company collection point with a landing pad/runway not delivered per user.So it will just take the place of the hub delivery truck but with much less carrying capacity.

utter mince. but got them publicity I suppose.
I've got 3 quadcopters. Yes - you could use them to say deliver 1kg payload between to open spaces but otherwise it's mince.
Re: shite
You mean a 1kg payload like a couple of books? You mean an open space like the Outback? So you mean the plan would work exactly as described, but apart from that it's mince? Yeah, good point.
Re: shite
I think he means it would be a good way to transport Shepherd's Pie or Chilli con Carne.
Re: shite
If there were two of them and you tied a bit of string...
Re: shite
It is a shite idea. Even in the outback they have trees or shrubs that would certainly make the drone landing or takeoff liable to failure. Plus the distances involved are massive so I don't know what kind of magic battery technology they are considering
Plus given that anything more valuable than an old bike is locked up in most places in the earth I don't see how they will stop people stealing what will be very valuable pieces of kit
Re: shite
"You mean a 1kg payload like a couple of books? You mean an open space like the Outback? So you mean the plan would work exactly as described, but apart from that it's mince? Yeah, good point."
yup, payload fine.... open space like the outback... if bookshop also in middle of outback, and a max distance of about 3 miles from book buyer...
no ?
then it's mince.
In the land of the flying doctor and the school of the air, I can really see the point of this.
But, as was pointed out, books may not be the best market. Delivering car spares, hand tools, bits and pieces, even fashion, to remote locations would be cool. And you could 'chute drop them.
Re: cool.
Exactly. There is a website the once started by delivering books and branched out a bit and they've done ok. What were they called? Oh yeah, Amazon. :-)
So an improvement on Yodel, then.
Free drone with every book..
I like this idea..
After other recent relevations (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2456651/), let's hope that WHSMith don't sign up to this book delivery service - that would be wrong on so many levels.
Kindle sucks for Textbooks
"Of course it's already possible to have books delivered to a smartphone: Amazon's Kindle app is available on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and even BlackBerry while the Nook app works on the first three OSes mentioned."
Kindle is great for novels, but it is terrible for any book where you might want to keep track of more than the page you are reading. Where with a paper book, it's simple to keep a finger on a page with a useful table, diagram, etc., with Kindle you have to keep skipping back and forth with multiple page-turns or clumsy dialogs.
Wrong Payload
I'm not sure delivering text books to students via drone will ever become financially viable, however delivering beer and pizza direct to your phone location is an absolute winner!

Dead-tree Vs eBook
Those of us who were Uni student know the real reason why dead-tree will always win over eBook : at the end of the semester, you can resell your dead-tree to the next batch of students.
About ebooks
"Of course it's already possible to have books delivered to a smartphone: Amazon's Kindle app is available on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and even BlackBerry while the Nook app works on the first three OSes mentioned."
Drones delivering physical books don't triple the price the way ebooks do.
I once stumbled upon spam with idea of delivering humanitarian cargo with ballistic missile. Think that would work much better in Australian emptiness.

I was very pleased with the prompt service i received when I ordered my Myran Fly box. I was on vacation fly fishing when I discovered that i lost my Myran fly box which I had owned for many years. I never thought that a replacement would be possible, but I was pleasantly surprised to receive this flybox...just like the one I used to have. The quality is still there and the service was great. Thank You!
They are my favorite fly box because they are quality built.

- also use the same url for activesync as you do for owa. make sure that in the Exchnage management console you have the internal and external URLs correctly defined in the following locations:
Server Configuration | Client Access | Exchange ActiveSync's properties.
On the isa server use the wizard to publish exchange activesync and make sure that your ISA server 2006 is at SP1 level to fully support SAN certificates.

Blood sugar level 3.7 is this normal?
Hi i had a test to check my blood sugar to check for diebitis (sp?) it came back at 3.7 the nurse that done it said it was on the low side but the doctor said it was ok. Would the fact it was taken this evening and id drank pop to day make much difference and is this amount normal?

I have 3 diabetics in the house and their target range is between 4 and 7 so 3.7 to us is not that low but bearing in mind you are expecting it would probably be better to have it a bit higher. Hope this helps
