1 Jar of Dona Maria Mole - help!
- l
- Lonewolfcub Mar 5, 2007 09:59 AM
So I've never cooked Mole before but have this jar of Dona Maria. I've read some other posts about using it, and look forward to it. But, I'm more or less cooking for 2. I've got 2 little ones who seem to only want to eat chicken nuggets, pizza, and yogurt.
So I was looking at the Mole jar last night, and it looked like it was a lid that you didn't put back on after you opened it. How do you store it after you've opened it up? I don't expect to use the whole jar for the amount of Mole I would like to make, but then again, I've never done this before so I know squat!
Te jar says 4 parts water or stock to 1 part paste. My jar says it makes 7 servings so I'd make about half a jar for the 2 of us.
I have made a Dona Maria Mole recipe that was posted by Dommy! once with chicken and again with turkey for GF and myself, just the 2 of us, that is easy and tasty. It is worth searching for but I'd wait until Engineering fixes 'Search' function. Sounds like your little ones get more protein than my picky twin lads!
As far as storage is concerned, I just stick the lid back on and the mole paste seems to keep a long time in the fridge.
re: sel
Pour the oil off the top and save it, then pour it back after you've removed however much paste you want. I usually pour a bit more in - any kind of edible oil - just to keep the paste from drying out. Also helps to have the top of the remaining paste a bit level.
I used to make my sauce up in a blender, then I got a handheld stick blender which is a huge improvement, since you can do hot liquids without their exploding all over the place. When I'm using paste from a jar like this I usually add a big spoon of natural-type peanut butter, not the sweet kind. I blend it all up until it's smooth, then pour over the meat. My favorite is lightly-poached chicken, cooked whole and pulled off the bone, which will finish cooking in the oven with the sauce. If all you have is leftovers, that works too, Pork shoulder is ridiculously good.
Right now, I have got a Jar of Dona Maria Mole verde and Pipian - both half full - in the fridge.
I try to best re-affix the tin lid and put in a zip loc bag. It will stay preety long considering the salt and oil content. ou could trasfer to tuba ware.
Some people like their Moles thick, some thin. So the ratio is really up to you re broth:paste.
A poster once wrote how he brought the reconstituted paste as a dip for chips to parties he attended and its extreme popularity.
If I were you, I would use half the paste - even for just two. The leftovers can be spread on warm tortillas as a snack or dip lightly fried tortilla in the sauce, fold to quarters and sprinkle with queso fresco/ seco and even top with scrambled eggs (enmolodes).
You can always use leftover mole sauce to make enchiladas de mole, or chilaquiles con mole. When I use the jar of Doña Maria Mole I use the chicken broth from were I cooked the chicken that I am going to use for the mole. I also add chocolate (ibarra or abuelita) and a cinnamon stick to the mole sauce when cooking. The amounts of broth needed all depends how thick or thin you prefer the mole.
Enjoy ; )
The sauce can also be used as a garnishing/finishing sauce on tamales ... i live in LA so am lucky to have many varieties of tamales available ... may be an option for you to use up that sauce ... Also I sometimes purchase a roasted turkey breast from Vons and use it the sauce ... mole traditionally served with white rice (use chicken broth instead of water).
You can use as much of the past that you need and store the rest covered in the fridge. It will last a long time. Now for the recipe, don't follow the instructions on the jar. Use 1 part mole paste, 2 parts tomato puree, 2 parts chicken broth or water, 1/4 part bittersweet chocolate shavings, 1/4 part sugar. You should add the chocolate shavings to the paste and only 1 part of the liquid and start stiring over low heat to make sure the chocolate melts and also the paste doesn't make many lumps. Add more of the liquid little by little until all the solids have disolved. The consistency should be that of a thick liquid, almost like hot fudge or maybe thinner. Keep in mind that it thickens as it cools down. Great on chichen, enchiladas, rice and, believe it or not, on your eggs for breakfast. By the way, Dona Maria is as far as I know the best commercial brand in the market. Enjoy.
re: mexicanjl
Can I use Mexican hot chocolate shavings?
re: scunge
If you mean shavings from Mexican Chocolate such as Abuelita or Ibarra, yes and it's very good, but you may then need to add less sugar or none, as this chocolate already has a lot of sugar.
re: mexicanjl
Got it thanks
re: mexicanjl
Mexicanjl, you are SO right! I brought a jar of Dona Maria from Mexico back to England and it turned out BEAUTIFULLYMMHHHOHSOOOGOOOD when I tweaked it with tomato puree etc. according to your advice! Without that, it tasted quite ..." humpf"
Thanks so much , it was a delightful meal and reminded us of the great time we had. Really recommened!
re: mexicanjl
I would like to try the Dona Maria using your recipe - do you suggest it cook for any certain amount of time?
re: kidcoos3
Once you have added all the ingredients I would probably let it seemer for about 15 mins with almost constant stirring, to make sure all the flavors blend. If you stop stirring it may burn at the bottom.
I have heard that Dona Maria has improved... but my last memory of it is that its pretty bad.... and not even in the same Galaxy as the unbranded, artisan pastes in plastic bags you get at Panaderias & Mercados. Dona Maria needs all the help you can give it... so by all means make sure to reconstitute it with the requisite tomato puree & chicken broth as suggested by others.
re: Eat_Nopal
I fully agree with you that the artisan pastes found in Mexico are much better. What I meant is that Dona Maria is one of the best commercial brands available in US grocery stores. La Costenia and Rogelio Bueno don't come even close, and local brands such as Trader Joe's taste completely different to real mole poblano.
Dona Maria Mole is really quite good, and the Pipian is even nicer, but I prefer to make mine from scratch using all authentic ingredients, which are a bit difficult to get in England, although it's getting easier. Whether you make it from the jar or from scratch, make as much as you can and then freeze the unused portions in containers, to be enjoyed time after time. They freeze and keep extremely well.
re: julesrules
If opened it'll last for a year or more. If unopened I think it's immortal.
re: Glencora
The box is okay for a quick fix, but the paste is better as you can make it better with the tomato pure and other ingredients. The box already has the chicken broth, which is a problem if you want to make something vegetarian.
re: mexicanjl
hi by tomato pure a que te referies ???
the tomato sauce in cans like HUnts o del Montez
or tomatoes from the market??
re: SEXYC00KFABYX
Sorry I mispelled. I meant tomato "puree". You will find cans that actually state puree. It is like tomato sauce but the consistency is slightly different. I believe tomato sauce also has more salt in it.
re: Glencora
I keep the boxed and jar varieties handy, the box is easier to use ( and I really don't feel it's much different from the results with paste). I don't care for a sweet mole, prefer savory and have found that adding a bit of chili powder, cumin and chicken stock to the boxed or paste really makes it. I worked at a local mexican restaurant and LOVED their mole, and this gets it very close to theirs. Either way, I find the paste and the boxed variety a little bland without the chili powder and cumin. Having it tonight, actually. Extra cheese is always a good thing :)
the reason the lid is a pry-off is that the jars are meant to be used for drinking glasses after emptying, sort of like Kraft Cheese Spread. My mom saved those; years later when we'd bring wine to dinner at her house, she's grab one and say, "well, OK, but just a cheese glass full"
which became a standard line for laughs at family dinners.
re: toodie jane
<<whacks forehead>> And I've been throwing out all those mole and adobo jars...
re: Glencora
Most glass turns into shards. It's tempered glass, such as used in side windows of cars, that break into safe cubes.
re: paulj
I know that! -- but in my experience (I've broken a lot of glasses) some glass breaks into smaller, scarier, more jagged shards. With broken mole jars, I usually end up on the kitchen floor picking up the bits with masking tape. Though actually I haven't bought jarred mole in years.
re: Glencora
So quit droppin' them! I never expected that Dona Maria was packed in Czeckoslovakian leaded crystal (yeah, I know, Dubcek had his challenges) and my glass breakage runs about 20 per year, a bummer every episode.
re: Glencora
I know what you meant, but that was really very funny LOL
I think this is a nice condiment or sauce for chicken, shrimp, or pork. I've used it several times, and can vouch for the flavor. I haven't made a traditional mole in a quite awhile, its a very quick fix when you need it. I've also used dollops of the paste mixed with chicken broth to flavor my own sauces, and man what an addition this stuff is.
Take your roasted chicken shred it and set it aside. Add the Dona Maria to a hot saute pan with oil. Add white slivered onions and along with the mashed garlic. (you can also add some chipotle peppers or serranos for more heat) Mix the paste with chicken stock smoothing it out. Then add the Dona Maria to the hot pan with white onions, garlic and a little white wine or broth.
Simmer, toss the chicken or shrimp in the sauce. Once its heated throuhg, skewer the chicken or shrimp,and toss the sesame seeds and or pepitas also the fresh cilantro over it all. Put it on a platter, and serve it all over white or red rice.I love to add some beautifully sliced avocados to add some creaminess to the dish. It's certainly beautiful and very tasty~Don't let the boxed product scare you off.
There's not a thing wrong with it. I think the boxed product is superior to anything else I've tried.
Mama Mia! Don't forget the soft warm flour tortillas and butter~ mmmmm... oh my goodness am I getting hungry!
re: chef chicklet
and the box does not shatter when you drop it :)

While I really like it, it is a new extension and it may still have some minor problems. I encountered a small bug in the sitemap. The friendly support crew quickly found it and updated the extension, but other small bugs may follow. It comes with an easy update tool and lifetime support. It is a good extension and may not be perfect yet, but it is by far the best I could find.

The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign – he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of England before meeting an appropriate end. There are various versions of the film, ranging from the heavily- truncated 90-minute version to the legendary 160-minute hardcore version which leaves nothing to the imagination (though the hardcore scenes were inserted later and do not involve the main cast members).

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
I had been invited to The Carter Center in Atlanta, specifically to a Roslyn Carter Mental Health Symposium. I had even been invited to attend an inner-circle luncheon.One by one, as Mrs. Carter spoke during the luncheon, she recognized many highly degreed and accomplished professionals from all over the world. As she called their names, they were asked to stand for applause. Then she described this woman who, through the printed word in daily newspapers, just talked about depression and mental illness very naturally, like across a table over coffee. She spoke of how such an effort was so vitally important in our culture and how our combined efforts to openly discuss mental illness will do much to erase the stigma of disease. Nobody stood after she called that woman's name until a gentleman at my table pointed to my name tag and said, "Hey, that's you. Stand up." Still, to this day I am amazed when I think that what I do makes a difference. Yet, I know that what you and I do together makes all the difference in the world. So let's review how we can help others cope with mental illness? First, let's define it. Mental illness is often defined as any psychiatric disorder that causes untypical behavior. Well, that could apply to just about anybody at one time or another! Then there are the so-called synonyms for mental illness that are too often used: insanity, lunacy, psychosis. My way of defining it is simply "mental dis-ease" which means mentally-not-at-ease. Now, do you see why I have a problem with any kind of stigma being attached to mental illness? It's as common as the common cold, perhaps more so. None of us will make it through life without being mentally ill at ease at one time or another. That said, there certainly are different degrees of mental illness, and sometimes the severity of the problem requires more than open discussions of problems followed by consistent and genuine I'm-there-for-you hugs. In my workshops I teach that: Any one of us is only a breath away from having our self-confidence shaken. Personal and professional identities and the income that go with them can be gone in an instant. Loved ones, with or without warning, can be taken from us. Physical illness, injury, mental anguish, emotional trauma and spiritual battles abound. Sudden or chronic abuse of any kind can send us spiraling and can bring us to the brink ... From the brink of depression and despair, we must choose to reach up and out, ask the questions we must ask, seek the help we might need, then find ... and take peace and take joy and take a reason to go on living and loving, and caring for and about self and others. There is not only a connectedness between us and our fellowman, but there is a connectedness between everything that happens to us as individuals. LIFE is one continuing educational experience! To deny any one part of who we are, to "forget it," to refuse to acknowledge it and remember it as part of our unique life experience, and to be afraid to go back at will and glean anything we choose to uncover and claim, distorts the value of the whole being that we are and robs us of our potential for being more. Do not let that happen. I say, "Own it!" Do not be afraid to hold dear to yourself all that is you, even that which is hard to own: the loss, the sadness, the ugliness, the pain, the anguish, the misery which wears a thousand faces. OWN IT. Just accept the painful "its" of your life as part of the wholeness that is yours to claim in a world where you are always growing and becoming. Claim it all and choose to make something beautiful of it. You have that power. You have the power to make a difference by reaching out to others at home, at work and at play. No subject should be off limits. No matter should be beyond discussing. No diagnosis or label should be permitted to stigmatize you or those you care about. Know that I believe with all my heart in simple, honest empowering communication with everyone around you. But please know, too, that severe, untreated mental uneasiness -- somewhat like untreated pneumonia following a common cold or even a systemic staph infection following a skinned knee -- can lead to death. The deeply disturbed can become both homicidal and suicidal. Open chats with well-meaning, caring friends are not always enough. Sometimes, professional counselors may be needed to help you, or someone you love, get through a period of mental uneasiness.

So I finally got around to watching The Social Network last night. It was enjoyable, but it also got my brain working and picking up on a few things that bands (or anyone with an idea, really) could benefit from bearing in mind.
- Facebook wasn't started with the idea they wanted to build a billion dollar corporation. They wanted to help students get laid. Your band shouldn't be about "getting big." Make sure you're doing something that's meaningful to you now.
- the first version of Facebook wasn't the last version. And these songs you have now won't be your last. Keep writing! Keep putting music out there!
- The Facebook guys launched their idea into reality, then continued to build it, expand its reach organically, and improve it before eventually securing investment funding. The same is true for pretty much every successful band.
- finally, most importantly, they didn't allow themselves any excuses to NOT make Facebook, and no one said anything like "if only we had…" They just did it. Your band should do the same.

What are some distinct factors promoting the revival of minority languages in the face of globalization?
(lesser-used minority languages include Welsh, Basque, and Inuktitut)
1 Answer | Add Yours
There are a number of factors that contribute to the revival of minority languages.
The most important of these factors is nationalism. Even as globalization occurs rapidly (or in some ways because of globalization) minority peoples do not wish to lose their culture. As world cultures become more similar to one another, minority groups feel it is important that they not lose their culture. This is a form of nationalism.
A second factor is growing wealth. As various groups like the Welsh (or various Native American tribes) come to have more wealth, they have the wherewithal to educate their children in their ancestral language. This was not previously possible when children were not able to get much education.
Finally, there is a growing interest in preserving minority cultures even among the majority. Much of the work of ensuring that minority languages come back has been done at least in part by academics from the majority culture. It is often supported by majority governments.
All in all, then, the revival of minority languages comes about because of changing attitudes and growing wealth.

You Can't Yell at a Flower to Grow: Cultivating Self-Compassion
Each week at my Unitarian Universalist church, the minister shares a "Story for All Ages." This is the time that my daughter and the other children move to the front of the Great Hall to see the pictures and I let my head drop onto my wife's shoulder at the exhale of another long week.
A few Sundays ago, the minister told a story about a man who'd passed on from this life and was given the choice to be reincarnated as any creature he wished. He observed animals of the earth, sea and sky before his eyes lit on the humans. "I want to be that kind of creature," he said. "They are so beautiful."
That observation penetrated my Sunday morning sleepiness. At best, I'm inclined to think of the human animal as ridiculously adorable—more baby hedgehog than magnificent peacock. I tend toward a functional, "feed-the-machine" perspective, celebrating the corporeal capacity for doing. I practice gratitude for my body's gifts: sensuality and sexuality, movement, strength, and power; and more than anything, the child that grew inside me. But beautiful?
I Believe in Body Hair
Celebrating the Choice to Be Wild and Free
The first time I saw a woman with body hair, I was thirteen. She was my teacher for a summer creative writing class. As she stretched her arms above her head, I was transfixed by her curly black hairs. After that, I waited for her to do it again, because, wow, I'd never seen a woman with armpit hair before. Every so often, I'd sneak a peek at her leg hair. I thought I was being casual enough about it, but now that others pull the same move on me, I realize how obvious I must have been. She knew I was looking, the same way I know when others are looking at me.
Imbalancing Act: Learning to Thrive with PCOS
If you asked me when I thought I reached my absolute point of total hotness, my answer would be ten years old. Having started to develop breasts at the age of eight and menstruating at nine, by sixth grade I was constantly mistaken for a college student.
When I was eleven, a rapid weight gain of 30lbs in 30 days put an end to my middle school hotness. My skin became clouded with acne and dark hairs sprouted from wherever they damn well pleased. The weight continued to pile on. My periods became irregular and often appeared every two weeks as opposed to every month. I was a mess.
I Deserve to be Healthy: A Feminist Case for Quitting Smoking
So a couple of years ago, my wife, Nikki, and I are at a party where we encounter a few friends we haven't seen in a while. Conversation gets around to how we'd just run the Prague marathon, which our friends meet with the typical incredulity non-runners feel towards the willful madness of running 26.2 miles. A half hour later we're all on the porch having a smoke.
"Oh my god," one of the friends exclaim. "I can't believe you smoke cigarettes and run marathons. I thought you were super healthy." We laugh and shrug it off, "not that healthy."

At 5'4, Mo'ne throws 70 MPH and is the first girl to ever pitch a shutout in Little League World Series. The fame brought by the anomaly of a female player advancing so far will no doubt provide Davis with ample opportunities for future play, but many look forward to the day when the presence of girls and women in official baseball play isn't such an anomaly.

Will feminists ever unanimously advocate on behalf of sex workers? While the freedom to choose the world's oldest profession may inspire an avid discussion, it's the keyword "choice" that conveys much of the problem. Women who opt to enter sex work are disproportionately outnumbered by those who are trafficked or exploited into the industry, a detail The Economist makes light of in a recent article focused on the "luxury" and "safety" of internet-based sex work.

What constitutes a woman? Invasive, humiliating sex testing—still the norm in competitive women's sports—has some concrete guidelines. Indian sprinter Dutee Chand, the most recent athlete to be discriminated against, was banned from participating in the 20th Commonwealth Games due to "excess levels" of testosterone in her blood. Disqualification may seem to be an absurd course of action, and it is—almost as absurd as determining someone's gender from the hormones in their blood.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith presses potential victims of domestic abuse to learn about "elements of provocation" in a panelist discussion on First Take, earning Smith a meager suspension, (almost as meager as the suspension doled out to Baltimore Ravens Running Back/Batterer Ray Rice) but it's continuing the dialogue on the pervasiveness of victim-blaming.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has released an early draft of IT procurement reform legislation that would strengthen the CIO's authority, while pushing for strategic sourcing and building cadres of IT acquisition professionals.
Based on the draft bill, which Issa released on Sept. 20, the CIO would have to give approval for the agency's IT spending. The CIO would also have the authority to approve the hiring of employees with IT responsibilities in the agency.
The bill would consolidate authority to one CIO per agency. Bureaus, offices or subordinate agency organizations could not have their own CIOs. IT overseers in those settings would be titled deputy CIOs. Moreover, an agency head would have to seek the advice of the CIO in designating or appointing a deputy CIO. The bill also emphasizes the lead role of the CIO Council, a committee of CIOs from across the federal government, in setting up cross-agency portfolio management policies to encourage more shared services and shared platforms.
Read the bill.
In a new op-ed column, Issa, chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote that the proposal would fundamentally help agencies.
"Successfully implemented, the legislation would aggregate demand among the federal agencies to get the best price for the taxpayer, develop IT acquisition subject-matter experts to help other agencies buy things cheaper, faster, and smarter, and eliminate unnecessary duplication of IT contracts," he wrote in a column Sept. 20 in NextGov.
Issa has yet to introduce the bill, but a committee staffer said he is near the beginning of a process of gathering wide stakeholder input.
In addition to redefining the CIO's role, the bill tackles more IT reform areas. It would set up plans for data center consolidation and performance requirements. It would require an inventory of governmentwide IT assets, and more specifically, an inventory of IT commodities among the agencies with a uniform classification system.
To further efforts of streamlining IT investments throughout government, the bill would create the Federal Commodity Information Technology Acquisition Center. It would be a focal point for coordinated acquisition practices and to obtain the lowest costs for commodity IT through strategic sourcing efforts. The center would pursue innovative buying approaches to "overcome vendor monopolies."
The bill would drive agencies to use another agency with the expertise in a certain area of IT acquisition.
As agencies work to negotiate lower prices, the IT acquisition center would have price lists and a catalog containing current pricing information by vendor for each of its commodity IT categories. The price lists would have any price a vendor provides for the same or similar good or service.
It would even set up assisted acquisition centers of excellence.
In addition, the bill would:
In his column, Issa pointed to the high failure rates and cost overruns plaguing between 72 and 80 percent of large IT programs, even as money goes to maintain deficient and old IT resources. The government could be wasting an estimated $20 billion each year.
"We can reverse our dismal record by overhauling cumbersome federal acquisition process and adopting best practices from the private sector," he added.

A bill that, as amended, would place a moratorium on annexation beginning April 1 and ending July 1, 2015, has been approved by the House Government & Regulatory Reform Committee.
As of The Hoosier Farmer's deadline, it was expected to be voted on by the full Indiana House on March 3.
SB 273 was amended and moved out of committee after two weeks of negotiation with cities and towns. The bill, which was authored by Sen. Buck, R-Kokomo, was presented by the House sponsor, Rep. Robert Cherry, R-Greenfield.
The moratorium provides time for the study committee requested by the bill to thoroughly assess the issue and for the next General Assembly to act.
Katrina Hall, IFB state government relations director, supported the moratorium along with the Association of Indiana Counties. The bill moved through second reading on Feb. 27 without amendments.


text: Heritage Foundation To Boehner: You Can't Be Serious Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 4 Dec 2012 post a comment Analysts from the Heritage Foundation, a center-right think tank, on Tuesday said the House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) counteroffer to President Barack Obama's proposal to avert the fiscal cliff was a "dud," "beyond disappointing," "bad policy," and blistered the House Republican leadership for not even wanting to fight for permanent reforms to entitlements even in private, behind-the-scenes negotiations. They said Boehner's offer was a sign that the "Republican leadership caved on raising taxes and first steps toward fundamental entitlement reforms that are desperately needed to keep Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid going." In his letter to Obama, Boehner said it would be counterproductive to "publicly or privately propose entitlement reforms that you and the leaders of your party appear unwilling to support in the near-term," which means the Republican leadership caved on reforming entitlements without even trying. "When President Obama put forth his first offer on the fiscal cliff, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said, "'You can't be serious.' We could say the same thing to the Speaker after his counteroffer yesterday," Amy Payne, of Heritage, wrote. Heritage's Alison Fraser, director of the Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies, and J.D. Foster, the Norman B. Ture Senior Fellow in the Economics of Fiscal Policy, said, " ... the Republican counteroffer, to the extent it can be interpreted from the hazy details now available, is a dud. It is utterly unacceptable. It is bad policy, bad economics." As Heritage noted, House Republican leadership, including Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI), signed Boehner's letter in which the House Speaker offered to "raise taxes by $800 billion and cut spending by $1.4 trillion, with no substantive reforms to the entitlement programs that are driving U.S. spending and debt." Fraser and Foster emphasized that the proposal was "beyond disappointing." " ... The House Republican counteroffer appears at best to suggest incremental tweaks to these programs. Without real entitlement reform—not just spending cuts—we will never fix the underlying problem," they wrote. Payne, of Heritage, wrote that while "this is precisely the time for laying out bold reforms, showing the nation the principles, vision and policies conservatives share to dig out of this budget mess," the House Republican leadership "pointed to a plan they said was suggested by Erskine Bowles, the co-chair of President Obama's debt commission and formerly Bill Clinton's White House Chief of Staff." "It raises taxes, but not by raising tax rates—instead, by lowering the amount or number of tax deductions or exemptions available," Payne wrote.

From thieves to zealous regulators, C&D recyclers and demo contractors face no shortage of worries.
Fending off metal thieves and keeping the door open for boiler fuel markets have been among the challenges faced by demolition contractors and C&D recyclers in 2012.
At a session the C&D Recycling Forum, held in Long Beach, Calif., in late September, demolition contractor Rich Lorenz of Central Environmental Services, Orlando, Fla., warned attendees that any scrap metal they leave unprotected might be targeted by thieves.
"What we have is an epidemic," Lorenz said of the commonplace occurrence of scrap metal theft in the past several years. "If you have these metals on your site and they're visible—that's an opportunity for thieves."
Lorenz told attendees that in just the three years from 2009 to 2011, there had been some 31,000 property insurance claims filed in the United States pertaining to metals theft.
His advice to attendees: "Don't be cheap. We've spent $15,000 on [security] cameras, we've got more lighting and we've got dogs in our yard." Lorenz also noted that municipalities and contractors in Central Florida no longer mark structures to be demolished with a bright orange spray-painted letter "D." Remarked Lorenz, "It was like saying to thieves, 'Come on in—it's free.'"
Jason Haus of Dem-Con, Shakopee Minn., provided an update on several regulatory and organization-related issues of concern to contractors and recyclers.
Haus, who is active with both the National Demolition Association and the Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA), started with an update on pending U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules that are affecting boiler and fuel end markets for scrap wood.
Haus indicated the CMRA, as part of an informal alliance of several trade groups, is working to have processed scrap wood considered a "traditional fuel" as part of the EPA's definition of biomass fuels in its Non-Hazardous Secondary Material (NHSM) rule revisions. The EPA, says Haus, has proposed that recyclers instead must petition the EPA to use process scrap wood as a fuel on a case-by-case basis.
According to Haus, the CMRA has been collecting data which show that scrap wood products "have lower contamination [levels] than traditional fuels."
Another issue of concern to the CMRA and its members has been revisions to the scrap materials diversion scorecard in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) 2012, the proposed update to the rating system used by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
The latest version appears skewed toward deconstruction and re-use. "As of now, deconstruction has only certain applications where it works," Haus commented.
As well, materials used for landfill alternative daily cover (ADC) are not counted toward the recycling rate. Haus urged attendees who operate mixed C&D facilities or who work on LEED projects to comment on the proposed changes. "We really made a difference last time," said Haus regarding the comment period that occurred before the current LEED scorecard was approved.
Haus indicated that an alternative emerging to the USGBC LEED system is the American High-Performance Buildings Coalition, www.betterbuildingstandards.com.
The CMRA also has introduced a facility certification process for mixed C&D plant operators. The goal is to offer customers "standardized reporting and reliability" as well as to encourage recyclers to operate to a uniform standard. Haus said it is not an indictment against any of the four mixed C&D recyclers operating in his region of Minnesota, but "all four calculate their [recycling] numbers in different ways."
The C&D Recycling Forum was Sept. 23-25 at the Hilton Long Beach & Executive Meeting Center, Long Beach, Calif.

November 23, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has hopped on a wave of popular opinion by opening a door to medical marijuana in the nation's third-largest state. But the plan he unveiled this week is cautious.
Nearly two dozen states have OK'd marijuana for medicinal purposes. And Colorado and Washington have legalized its use for pleasure.
Meanwhile, Cuomo is tapping a 1980 state law to empower as many as 20 hospitals to dispense the drug to people with certain severe illnesses. It's a research project to test whether pot can be effectively used as medicine without being abused.
Medical marijuana advocates are frustrated he didn't go further. But experts say the plan may be a politically astute and scientifically sensitive move on an issue that boasts more popular enthusiasm than extensive research.

'Tbilisi, I Love You' Joins 'Cities of Love' Franchise (EXCLUSIVE)
Following Paris and New York, "Tbilisi, I Love You" has become the next film in Emmanuel Benbihy's "Cities of Love."
The film, involving only Georgian directors, is a series of 10 completed short films produced by David and Nika Agiashvili through Storyman Pictures -- each a personal narrative about the republic's capital city, Tbilisi.
Directors include Nika Agiashvili, Irakli Chkhikvadze, Levan Glonti , Alexander Kviria, Tako Shavgulidze, Kote Takaishvili, Levan Tutberidze. Actors include Ron Perlman, Malcolm McDowell, Sarah Dumont, George Finn, Nutsa Kukhianidze, Giorgi Kipshidze and Ia Sukhitashvili.
Perlman's short features him as a nameless American motorcyclist who rides through Tbilisi's remote areas with a woman named Freedom (Dumont). McDowell's vignette centers around an actor who reluctantly agrees to a one-month shoot in Tbilisi.
Benbihy has been developing the "Cities of Love" series since 2000 via his Ever So Close banner to sell cities one-picture licenses. Benbihy is aiming to develop an online platform of city-driven cultural and social movements that will feature such locations as Shanghai, Berlin, Taipei, Mexico City, Rotterdam, New Orleans, Mumbai, Jerusalem, Sydney and Tokyo.
Credo Cinema's Jason Speer, Ever So Close's Emmanuel Benbihy and Paata Trapaidze are exec producing the Tbilisi film.
The 2006 "Paris, je t'aime" grossed $17 million worldwide. "New York I Love You" (pictured) grossed $8 million in 2009.

In complete step-by-step demonstrations painted in oils on canvas, popular painter Dorothy Dent shows you how to create romantic country scenes in all seasons. From pastoral farmlands to breathtaking mountain vistas, woodland streams to historic old mills and coastal lighthouses, clear photos show how to achieve consistent highlights, shadows, light and dark contrast and textures for realism in landscape painting.
"What is landscape? How does it differ from 'land'? Does landscape always imply something to be pictured, a scene? When and why did we begin to cherish images of nature? What is 'nature'? Is it everything that isn't art, or artifact? By addressing these and many other questions,Landscape andWestern Artexplores the myriad ideas and images of the natural world in Western art since the Renaissance. Implying that land is the raw material, and that art is created by turning land into landscape, which then becomes art, author Malcolm Andrews takes the reader on a thematic tour of the fascinating and challenging issues of landscape as art.
"The book's broad sweep covers the full, rich spectrum of landscape art, including painting, gardening, panorama, poetry, photography, and art. Artistic issues are investigated in connection with Western cultural movements, and within a full international and historical context. Clear explanations and beautiful illustrations convey to the reader the idea of landscape as an experience in which everyone is creatively involved. Landscape and Western Art provides an enlightening and comprehensive critical overview of landscape art."

"These announcements are absolutely beautiful. I called and placed our order over the phone and spoke to a gentleman that was extremely helpful in placing our order. I am very pleased with the way these announcements turned out for our new beautiful bundle of joy!!! Thank you Tinyprints!!!"
"This card is the perfect way to introduce the new baby in our family!! It is simply gorgeous!! We are thrilled to share this card with everyone! Amazingly chic!"
"I used this card for our daughter's birth announcement and it was perfect! The paper is sturdy and the printing was outstanding. I would highly recommend this design."
"When I first received these announcements I was very upset because the font in green was barely legible - it was way too light and it doesn't look this light on their site. So I contacted customer service and they got back to me immediately and they sent me new announcements with darker green font color without any hassle. They look great and I am so pleased with them! I have used tiny prints numerous times and this was the first complaint I had and their customer service was wonderful! I will continue to use them in the future."
"This was my first time using tinyprints.com. I was very happy with the ease of personalization of the card, the quality of the card stock, the option to have a designer review the card, and the speed of delivery. The ability to have different shapes for the edge of the card is such a nice touch. My cards came out just as pictured on the screen. Very pleased and would order again in the future."
