Backyard Orchard News
For the Love of Bats
Bats are pollinators? Definitely. According to the USDA Forest Service, more than 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination. The crops include mangos, bananas and guavas, grown in tropical and desert climates. While bees take the daytime pollinator shift, bats take the nighttime shift.
Entomologists and agriculturists think about bats a lot, too, because bats eat insects that ravage our crops.
Someone who really knows and appreciates bats is Yolo County Farm Advisor Rachael Freeman Long. "I've had a long time interest in ecosystem services of bats because they feed on insects and can help with pest control in agricultural crops," Long said. "For example, we just determined that in walnuts, each bat provides about $6 in pest control services for codling moth control, a major pest in this crop (Long RF et al. 2014. What's a bat worth to a walnut orchard? BATS Magazine [Bat Conservation International] Spring 2014)."
A person of many interests and talents, Long has also written a children's book that features bats.
In honor of bats, The Avid Reader, 617 2nd St., Davis, between E and F St., is planning a special program from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22. Long will be there for the book signing, and talk about her book, and Corky Quirk of Nor Cal Bats will be there with her live bats and talk about their importance in the world. The organization is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of bats throughout Northern California.
"My interest in writing this trilogy is science literacy for kids to teach them about the natural history of bats and the incredible importance of bats in our world for pollination and pest control benefits," Long said. "Bats are major pollinators of many plants; without bats we wouldn't have tequila as they are the main pollinators of the agave plant from which tequila is made!"
"In my stories, we learn all kinds of wonderful tidbits about bats, including echolocation, migration, that they feed on insects and that 'blind as a bat' is a total myth. I'll have to talk about their shiny poop in my third book with all the insect exoskeleton parts that bats can't digest and the fancy name of guano!"
Long recalls telling these stories to her son, when he was little, "on our long drives into town from our ranch."
"He loved them so much that one day I finally decided to write them down to share with other children--and adults too!!"
Sadly, bats often get a bad rap. When a person is mentally unstable, he's "batty" or has "bats in the belfry." Visual issues? "Blind as a bat." And who hasn't heard the expression, "like a bat out of hell?" (usually referring to a speeding car heading toward you at breakneck speed).
In Long's book, a little boy named Jack falls into a cave and loses his memory. We won't tell you what happens next but that the book is engaging and entertaining.
Just like bats.

Remembering the Wild Bees
Earlier this year she came out with an app, "Wild Bee Gardens," the first-known conservation app for North American native bees. That app was exclusively for an iPad, but she promised an app for an iphone later.
Later is "now."
It's out. "Wild Bee Gardens" is an educational tool "showing the dazzling diversity of North America's native bees." The app pairs native bees with many of the flowers they frequent.
Ets-Hokin, a UC Berkeley zoology graduate, wants us all to work together to protect North America's premier pollinators. She seeks to inspire an appreciation for the importance and diversity of our native bees, and anticipates that people will create a habitat for native bees in their own gardens. The habitats are not fancy; in fact, native bee habitats are "a bit on the wild side," she says.
The work is impressive. It opens up the world of native bees and their floral resources through her text and some 300 photographs of native bees, primarily the work of entomologist/insect photographer Rollin Coville of the Bay Area.
Topics covered include:
- The role of native bees in our natural ecosystems
- The ecology and life cycles of native bees
- How to create a successful bee garden
- How to identify the native bee visitors that will appear in these gardens
The app covers 26 genera and links the bees to their favorite plants. Consultants included three scientists: native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis and UC Berkeley faculty members Gordon Frankie and Clare Kremen. They are acknowledged for their contributions of scientific knowledge and research. Arlo and Rebecca Armstrong of the Bay Area designed the app.
Just as we need food and shelter, so do bees. Native bees forage for pollen and nectar for their offspring. The bee scientists suggest you leave areas of undisturbed, bare ground for ground-nesting bees, and provide "bee condos" (wood blocks drilled with the proper-size holes) for leafcutting bees and mason bees.
While many folks will be out buying computers, laptops, tablets, designer clothes, houseware and the like during the holiday season, Ets-Hokin hopes they will take time to think about the native bees and provide for them.
The app can be ordered from http://appstore.com/wildbeegardens. For gift-giving, access http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2736, and scroll to the section entitled, "Gift an Item on an IOS Device."
Meanwhile, Celeste Ets-Hokin continues to spread public awareness about the plight of bees, writing about them, speaking about them, photographing them, and now she has an app for that: "Wild Bee Gardens."

Bohart Museum Open House: Insect Myths!
Worker bees are males, right?
Butterflies and moths can't fly if you rub the scales off their wings, right?
Earwigs crawl into your ears and then into your brain, right?
Wrong. They're all widely known but falsely held beliefs.
What better place to learn about insect myths than the UC Davis Bohart Museum of Entomology, home of nearly eight million insect specimens? An open house is scheduled from 1 to 4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 23, in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge building, Crocker Lane.
The Bohart folks will dispel scores of myths, including these:
- Brown recluse spiders are found in California
- Daddy long-leg spiders are very venomous, but their mouths are too small to bite us.
- We swallow/eat a significant amount of spiders/insects in our sleep.
The open house is free and open to the public, and family friendly.
Directed by Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology at UC Davis, the insect museum is also the home of the seventh largest insect collection in North America, and the California Insect Survey, a storehouse of the insect biodiversity.
Special attractions include a live "petting zoo," featuring Madagascar hissing cockroaches, walking sticks and tarantulas. Visitors are invited to hold the insects and photograph them. In addition, face painting will be among the family-oriented activities. Think bugs!
Visitors can also browse the gift shop, which includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, books, jewelry, posters, insect-collecting equipment and insect-themed candy. (Gifts can also be purchased online.)
The Bohart Museum's popular open houses are in addition to its regular weekday hours, from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. It is closed to the public on Fridays and on major holidays. Admission is free.
Here's a list of open houses through Saturday, July 18:
- Saturday, Dec. 20: "Insects and Art," 1 to 4 p.m.
- Sunday, Jan. 11: "Parasitoid Palooza," 1 to 4 p.m.
- Sunday, Feb. 8: "Biodiversity Museum Day," noon to 4 p.m.
- Saturday, March 14: "Pollination Nation," 1 to 4 p.m.
- Saturday, April 18: UC Davis Picnic Day, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Sunday, May 17: "Name That Bug! How About Bob?" 1 to 4 p.m.
- Saturday, July 18: "Moth Night," 8 to 11 p.m.

ICE Is Red-Hot!
Well, ICE is red hot.
The International Congress of Entomology (ICE) is gearing up for its 2016 conference, "Entomology without Borders," to take place Sept. 25-30, 2016 in Orlando, Fla., and the line-up of speakers should make all entomologists--and others interested in insect science--mark their calendars.
With a red-hot pen.
The ICE meeting will be co-located with the annual meetings of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) and the Entomological Society of Canada, along with events hosted by the entomological societies of China, Brazil, Australia, and others.
First of all, the ICE co-chairs, chemical ecologist Walter Leal of UC Davis and vegetable research entomologist Alvin Simmons of USDA/ARS, managed to book not one, but two Nobel Laureautes: Peter Agre (2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry) and Jules Hoffmann (2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine).
Then the next announcement. Last weekend at the ESA meeting in Portland, Ore., Leal revealed the list of ICE plenary speakers, selected from 77 nominated worldwide.
UC Davis-affiliated entomologists James R. Carey and Robert E. Page Jr., internationally recognized for their work, are among the eight plenary speakers selected.
Carey, a distinguished professor of entomology with the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, is considered the world's foremost authority on arthropod demography. Page, provost of Arizona State University and emeritus professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, is considered the most influential honey bee biologist of the past 30 years.
"We are delighted to have the first Hispanic woman (Latina) to give a plenary lecture at ICE; likewise, the first kiwi (New Zealander), as well as the first native African to have the opportunity to highlight their work in this venue," said Leal, professor in the UC Davis Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology.
The list of plenary speakers:
- Carolina Barilla-Mury, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Guatemala & USA, who will speak on medical entomology immunity
- Jacqueline Beggs, University of Auckland, New Zealand. Topic: biodiversity and biosecurity
- James R. Carey, University of California, Davis. Topic: insect biodemography
- Fred Gould, North Carolina State University. Topic: GMOs: crop and health protection
- Robert E. Page, Arizona State University. Topic: bee biology: Spirit of the Hive" (title of his latest book)
- José Roberto Postali Parra, ESALQ, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Topic: biological control.
- John A. Pickett, Rothamsted Research, UK. Topic: insect-plant interactions
- Baldwyn Torto, Centre of Insect Physiology & Ecology, based in Nairobi, Kenya. Topic: colony collapse disorder and pollination.
Capsule information on the UC Davis-affiliated entomologists:
James R. Carey has authored more than 250 scientific articles, including landmark papers in Science that shaped the way scientists think about lifespan limits and actuarial aging, and two articles in the Annual Review series that provide new syntheses on insect biodemography (2003, Annual Review of Entomology) and aging in the wild (2014, Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics). He directed a $10 million multi-university grant for more than a decade (2003-2013).
Carey is the author of three books, including Applied Demography for Biologists with Special Emphasis on Insects (Oxford University Press), the go-to source for all entomologists studying demography. Highly honored for his work, Carey received the 2014 C. W. Woodworth Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Pacific Branch of the Entomological Society of America (ESA), and the 2014 UC Davis Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award for innovative and creative teaching.
Carey chaired the University of California Systemwide Committee on Research Policy—one of the most important and prestigious committees in the UC system and served on the systemwide UC Academic Council. In addition, he serves as the associate editor of three journals: Genus, Aging Cell, and Demographic Research. In addition, he is the first entomologist to have a mathematical discovery named after him by demographers—The Carey Equality—which set the theoretical and analytical foundation for a new approach to understanding wild populations.
He is a fellow of four professional organizations: ESA, the Gerontological Society of America, the California Academy of Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Carey has presented more than 250 seminars in venues all over the world, from Stanford, Harvard, Moscow, Beijing to Athens, London, Adelaide and Okinawa. In addition, Carey is considered a worldwide authority on the demography and invasion biology of tephritid fruit flies, particularly the Mediterranean fruit fly; and a preeminent authority on biodemographics of human aging and lifespan. He is also a pioneering force advocating the educational use of digital video technology, work that he is sharing throughout much of the state, nation and the world.
Carey received his bachelor's degree (animal ecology, 1973) and master's degree (entomology, 1975) from Iowa State University, and his doctorate in entomology from UC Berkeley in 1980.
Robert E. Page Jr.
Page has published more than 200 reviewed publications, three edited books and two authored books. His latest book is "Spirit of the Hive." His lab pioneered the use of modern techniques to study the genetic bases to the evolution of social behavior in honey bees and other social insects.
Page was the first to employ molecular markers to study polyandry and patterns of sperm use in honey bees. He provided the first quantitative demonstration of low genetic relatedness in a highly eusocial species.
Among his other achievements involving honey bee research:
- Page and his students and colleagues isolated, characterized and validated the complementary sex determination gene of the honey bee; perhaps the most important paper yet published about the genetics of Hymenoptera.
- He and his students constructed the first genetic map of any social insect, demonstrating that the honey bee has the highest recombination rate of any eukaryotic organism mapped to date.
In addition, Page was personally involved in genome mappings of bumble bees, parasitic wasps and two species of ants. His most recent work focuses on the genetic bases to individuality in honey bees.
Page also built two modern apicultural labs (in Ohio and Arizona), major legacies that are centers of honey bee research and training. He has trained many hundreds of beekeepers, and continues to teach beekeeping even as provost of the largest public university in the United States. He is also the Foundation Chair of Life Sciences.
An internationally recognized scholar, Page is an elected foreign member of the Brazilian Academy of Science, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the oldest scientific academy of science, the Germany Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. He was elected to Leopoldina, founded in 1652, for his pioneering research in behavioral genetics of honey bees.
It promises to be an informative, educational and entertaining meeting in Orlando!

Neonics: Should They Be Banned?
It's a 14-letter word but many people consider it a four-letter word.
Wikipedia defines it as a "a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically similar to nicotine...In the late 2000s some neonicotinoids came under increasing scrutiny over their environmental impacts. The use of neonicotinoids was linked in a range of studies to adverse ecological effects, including honey-bee colony collapse disorder (CCD) and loss of birds due to a reduction in insect populations. Several countries restricted or banned the use of certain neonicotinoids."
"In the U.S., neonicotinoids are currently used on about 95 percent of corn and canola crops, the majority of cotton, sorghum, and sugar beets, and about half of all soybeans," according to Wikipedia. "They are also used on the vast majority of fruit and vegetable crops, including apples, cherries, peaches, oranges, berries, leafy greens, tomatoes, and potatoes. Neonicotinoids are also applied to cereal grains, rice, nuts, and wine grapes. Imidacloprid is effective against sucking insects, some chewing insects, soil insects and is also used to control fleas on domestic animals. It is possibly the most widely used insecticide, both within the neonicotinoids and in the worldwide market."
Neonics, as they're called, will be front center stage in Portland, Ore. at the Entomological Society of America's student debates on Tuesday, Nov. 18. It's the 62nd annual ESA meeting. Distinguished professor Frank Zalom, an integrated pest management specialist in the UC Davis Department of Entomology, serves as president of the 7000-member organization.
Several different topics will be debated. For the debate on neonics, it will be UC Davis graduate students vs. graduate students from Auburn University, Alabama.
For months now, the graduate students have been reading the literature, talking to experts, and setting strategies.
We listened in on a practice debate Thursday night in the third-floor conference room of Briggs Hall, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology. The team is captained by Mohammad-Amir Aghaee of the Larry Godfrey lab, and coached by Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the department. Other team members are Jenny Carlson, Anthony Cornel lab; Margaret "Rei" Scampavia, Neal Williams/Edwin Lewis lab; Ralph Washington Jr., Steve Nadler lab; and Daniel Klittich, Michael Parrella lab.
They scrutinized a PowerPoint, making sure every word was clear and exactly the one they wanted. They searched for more resources, pointing out which scientist published what significant paper and when and where. Extension apicuturist (retired) Eric Mussen of UC Davis was there to assist with his expertise on honey bees and pesticides.
We won't tell you what the strategies are--that would be a "spoiler." Suffice it to say that this controversial topic promises to be lively. The Auburn team, comprised of Olufemi Ajayi, Adekunle Adesanya, Julian Golec, Matt Burrows, Scott Clem and, Z. Ye and advised by David Held, will argue that neonicotinoids are causing the death of bees essential for pollinating our food crops, and will advocate that the use of neonicotinoids should end. UC Davis will take the opposing view.
The 2013 UC Davis team, also captained by Mohammad-Amir Aghaee, won the ESA championship. They hope for a repeat. They're good; they've won every match since 2011 except one.
Aghaee is deeply involved in ESA activities. A participant in the student debates and Linnean Games teams for four years, he also participates in the student 10-minute paper competitions, covering such topics as Lygus bug movements in bush beans, efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. galleriae against rice water weevil, and preliminary research on winter flooding effectiveness against rice water weevil. Last year he won first place for his winter flood presentation.
Aghaee, whose major professor is Extension entomologist Larry Godfrey, is a fifth year Ph.D. candidate working on rice water weevil (Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus) management in California rice. The majority of Aghaee's dissertation research is dedicated toward developing alternative management options for growers. "I have examined the use of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. galleriae as a biopesticide for rice water weevil and explored the mechanisms of winter flooding rice fields as a cultural control against weevil larvae," Aghaee related. "I am currently examining the possible role of silicon augmentation as a means of increasing rice tolerance to weevil damage and the potential threat of Brown marmorated stinkbug (Halyomorpha halys) to California rice."
A Renaissance kind of guy, Aghaee has secondary interests in post-Renaissance European history and contemporary Middle Eastern politics. He explores some of these themes in his freshman seminar titled "Bugs, Germs, and Steel: A History of Entomology in Warfare" where he and his colleagues teach students how basic scientific research and ecology has influenced human conflicts and technological progress. Outside of entomology, his leisure activities include oil painting, language acquisition, and culinary specialization in Persian and Indo-Pakistani cuisines.
Stay tuned for who won the debate and what they said. Their work will be published in the journal, American Entomologist.

text: Conservative Documentaries Still Needed for Obama 2.0 Print article Send a Tip by Zachary Leeman 17 Nov 2012 post a comment This year proved an exemplary one for conservative documentaries. "2016: Obama's America" properly scrutinized the sitting president and became a sleeper hit for its efforts; "Occupy Unmasked" set the record straight when it came to the misguided Occupy Wall Street movement; conservative icon and enemy of mainstream media Andrew Breitbart was celebrated with "Hating Breitbart" and that's not to mention other films like "Runaway Slave" or "The Hope and the Change." There is a mainstream narrative that is forced down the throats of the American people. Most accept it and simply go along to get along. Some fight back and decide to inform themselves about the truth and the enemies of the American people whether they be on the Left or the Right. This is usually where documentaries come into play. However, the conservative perspective is one that is too often shunned. This is why conservative documentaries are so vital as people become less informed and more interested in partisan spin rather than the truth. If one were to simply go by what the media says, they would think Andrew Breitbart was a racist seething with jealousy over the "glamorous" people of Hollywood. With the help of a film like "Hating Breitbart," one can see Breitbart as a warrior who fought the media and the government's version of the truth. If one simply used MSNBC as a source for their news (good luck with that), they would think Occupy Wall Street was a peaceful protest against evil bankers who robbed America blind ... despite the fact that various people had warned of the financial collapse for decades and the involvement of the government in capitalism is what caused a bubble to form in the first place. "Occupy Unmasked" helps to set the record straight and makes sure what the media throws out as the "truth" is not the only information put on record. When a man arrives out of nowhere with nothing but a nice smile and good voice, and the media refuses to properly examine him as they did previous presidential candidates, a film like "2016" comes in handy. And I don't necessarily agree with everything in its presentation. When reporters don't do their job, it's up to us to do it for them. Barack Obama was re-elected for a variety of reasons. Conservatives couldn't rally behind the Republican's candidate. Obama ran an incredibly sleazy campaign, etc. However, at the top of that list is the fact that the American people are uninformed. They rely on information from unreliable sources. In this world of Obama 2.0, we need independent thinkers to set the record straight and fight the false narratives. We need Libertarians, conservatives, Republicans, general intellectuals to stand and fight for the truth. We need them to present the truth the next four years in the same way they did in 2012. We need the truth when it comes to government incompetence like Fast and Furious, Benghazi and the utter failure of FEMA no matter who sits in the Oval Office. It doesn't even need to be conservative filmmakers who feel the motivation. Need some help liberals? How about a documentary exposing on how Obama has denied the gay community their rights to marry save for a verbal endorsement? Or a film showing how Obama is perceived as the candidate taking it easy on the War on Drugs when he has cracked down harder than his social conservative predecessor? In this America of Obama 2.0, we need the truth more than ever ... who will be the directors capturing it all on film?

Although it is considered the smallest member of the pelican family (Terres 1980), P. occidentalis is a large marine bird often measuring over 1 m in length (Harrison 1996) with a wingspan of nearly 2.3 meters (Farrand 1983) and a total weight of about 8 pounds (3.6 kg). (Terres 1980). Males average a slightly larger body size than females (Terres 1980). Lifespan varies with environmental conditions, food availability and other factors. Some banded individuals have been documented to exceed 31 years of age (Terres 1980).

A SHOCK rise in parking fees at a town's retail centre has left shoppers reeling.
Visitors to Eagles Meadow in Wrexham have found themselves facing a near-25 per cent increase in parking charges set by Vinci, the company which runs the car park.
The cost of a two-hour stay has risen from £2.50 to £3.10 and people parking for more than four hours will have to pay £8.70, up from £7.
It is the second increase in about nine months at the 1,000-space multi-storey car park.
Prices went up last October by about 30 per cent.
Shoppers have registered their disgust at the latest rise, stating the lure of free parking at shopping parks elsewhere could drive people out of town.
They also said the increase came out of the blue, while Wrexham's town centre manager said he was only notified on Friday about Monday's rise.
Shopper Damien Tobin said: "I'll be avoiding Eagles Meadow from now on. Not a chance I'm paying that.
"[I'd] rather go to Broughton or Cheshire Oaks."
Nigel Torrens added: "Total rip-off. How do they expect people to shop there with parking charges like that."
Also unhappy, was Jan Williams, who said: "It's a complete rip-off. I stopped parking there the last time it increased.
"It costs enough to take your children to Odeon/Tenpin. Why should you be ripped off as well? I would rather go to Broughton, Cheshire Oaks, Sealand Road, Trafford Centre. All free to park and much more on offer."
Eagles Meadow Shopping Centre manager Kevin Critchley said the increase had been coming, but he was concerned at how steep it was.
He said: "Months ago Vinci informed us they were looking to increase its pricing structure, but they only informed us on Friday about what was happening on Monday, which didn't give us much time to contact people.
"I haven't had a chance to speak to retailers yet, but I'm sure they will be speaking to their regional managers and head offices about it."Of course I'm worried it might put people off shopping here and we're concerned they have gone up by such a huge amount, but basically Vinci have said its rates have gone up so they are increasing prices.
"Vinci is a separate business and what it decides to do with its prices is far beyond our control. Its revenue depends on the car park being used and if people don't use it, Vinci won't get any money."
Mr Critchley added that he believed the centre could weather the price increase.
He said: "It's not the only car park in Wrexham and what we're offering hasn't changed.
"The new Clark's store is opening soon, we've got restaurants, bowling, a cinema and are still only at the end of town."
The latest rise comes five months after Wrexham Council increased charges at its car parks.
Prices went up at the Library, Market Street, St George's Crescent, St Giles, Waterworld, People's Market and Crescent Road car parks.
The move saw the price of one hour's parking rise from 60p to £1, between one hour and two hours from £1.20 to £1.50 and the evening charge increased from 50p to £1.
The free parking at the People's Market and Crescent Road car parks – which before February was available from noon – was moved to the later time of 3pm.

A late-night crash in southern Albemarle County has left one man dead.
It happened Thursday night on the corner of Irish Road and Esmont Road.
Responding officers found a pickup truck that had gone off the roadway into a creek, running into a tree.
The crash closed both lanes of Irish Road for about three hours.
Police have not released the identity of the victim and say they do not yet know if alcohol or speed were factors.

Three people charged in the death of Franklin County toddler have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Twenty-four-year-old Laura Rinehart, of Naponee, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Franklin County District Court to child abuse in the April 30 death of her 2-year-old son, Joseph Rinehart. Her parents and the boy's grandparents, Peter and Nancy Draper, also pleaded not guilty to child abuse resulting in death.
Nebraska State Patrol investigators say Peter Draper lost his temper while disciplining the boy, who died of head and internal injuries caused by blunt force trauma. Investigators say Draper's wife and daughter did nothing to stop the abuse.

Only Ohio Historical Markers qualify. These are large signs with raised lettering made from copper & aluminum.
Coordinates should be for the marker itself. If the marker is located some distance from the actual site being described, provide coordinates for that location, if possible.
See: Remarkable Ohio for more information on these markers located across the state. There are individual pages on each mark there (which would make for a good link, if no other webpage is found).
Include a description of the location marked by the site and a summary of the text. Since not everyone has a digital camera, I will not require photo(s) but they are appreciated - especially if there is a building, ect. that is described by the sign.
Also post the Sewah code, a number that is in the bottom right corner of each sign. Example: Marker #3-71 : 3 indicates that it was the 3rd marker placed in a particular county. 71 indicates the county (Ross, in this case.).
If you find an error (or other issue) on the OHM website, you might consider sending an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com informing them of the issue. I'm sure they would like to improve the accuracy of their site.

Until we overcome control beliefs that prevent investigation into the non-political causes of violence, i.e. religious teachings, we can't effectively find approaches to stop it.
"By all means justice should be done. Nevertheless, some of the more ignorant colonists objected that an Englishman should be put to death for an Indian... at last the murders... freely confessed to all the Indian had accused them of... So they were condemned by the jury, and executed." Event of 1638 as narrated by Governor Bradford.
"God ordained jihad for the Muslims... a means of implementing the supreme Message... The Muslim would go forth to fight, one concern within his soul - to strive to his utmost until 'God's Word is the most exalted'."
"America's wrong about pastry filling," claimed my Danish host just a few days ago, and today's breakfast proves him right.
All that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity. To die, to sleep -- and by that sleep to say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to."
In that sleep of death what dreams may come must give us pause. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time but that the dread of something after death makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others we know not of. In this life lie hid more thousand deaths; yet death we fear. The weariest and most loathed worldly life that age, ache, penury, and imprisonment, can lay on nature is a paradise to what we fear of death.
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances.
"The mark of them is on their forehead from the traces of prostration." (Pickthall translation)
And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah and be not divided among yourselves. Koran 3:103
This nation will be divided into seventy-three religious sects - all in hell, except one, and that one is the one on which I and my companions are today.

Our weaving guild has had Anita lead several interesting workshops. It's nice to see that she has lost none of her verve and zest for the creation of unique textiles. Her personal view of the way a woman relates to her textiles is precious as is she. There's much useful information to be gained by the watching of this dvd. I would recommend it for the fibre person who loves handwork.

Anita's DVD has inspired me so much. I cannot wait to share it with my creative group. I have been looking for something to take my work up a notch or two or more, and this was perfect. So happy I purchased it.

A fibery friend and I watched this DVD set today which I had borrowed from my public library and thoroughly enjoyed learning about Anita's creative process. Seeing the finished garments, her design thoughts, and then to see how she actually creates her incredible fabrics was inspirational. Her sense of humor and practicality was wonderful and I plan on suggesting our weaving guild purchase this DVD set.
Thank you Interweave Press and Anita!

Anita is a very special lady. I found her and her work very inspiring. Excellent ideas and lots of them from all aspects of this workshop. I love her uniforms and have started redoing my wardrobe. It just makes so much sense. Her suggestions for developing ideas and projects are very helpful and using them is a pleasure and they can be applied to all sorts of things. Some very useful ideas for embellishment and creating unique fabric and items. I have been using them on fabric for furniture and bags too. Many thanks Anita!

I ordered this DVD download in June and I have watched it several times. Anita is a treasure and her creations are amazing. She is very generous in spirit as she shares her techniques and inspirations with us. My favorite part of the DVD is her sketchbooks. I really enjoy looking the stages she takes to get to the finished project.

Hi guys! the 4th Participant for our beloved Worldwide Cosplayer Photo Journey project was supposed to be Pop*Gal from U.S.A but she didn't respond to Laurie's (3rd Participant, Brazil) email and all. So Laurie picked another participant, who is Rita-Chan from Peru!!!
Apologies for the delay in updating but yes, the parcel is now on its way to PERU!!!! Wow! I feel like WWCPJ can really teach me a lot of geography^_^!
Brazil spotlight entry to come soon :D
3 Responses so far.
Laurie says:
Oh I wish I was a parcel all of a sudden. It would be nice travelling the globe under stamps for fare prices. Airplane tickets can be quite expensive and you don't have to worry about Visa and travel documents that much.
Excited to read the WWCPJ entry for Peru ^ ^
rita-chan says:

Diet Pills That Work Weight Loss
Or you might consider investing in exercise bicycle that you can put by your bedside and make it your daily routine of exercising with it everyday when you wake up.
The third zone for optimal fat burning cardio is training at high intensities (zone 3). Another name for this zone is interval training. Interval training is where we workout for short burst of time, 1-3 min., and then walk or rest for short bursts of time, and then repeat the high to low sequence again. Zone 3 workouts train your body to produce energy greater than it has ever done before for short durations of time. It is more important about the rate of burning energy than total calories. Which means the faster you go the more calories you burn in a short period of time the better. One key to interval training is you have to be able to repeat the same speed and heart rate for each interval. Often people train to hard for the first interval and though their heart rate goes up they slow their speed down with each interval. Zone 3 workouts are considered the most efficient way to raise your metabolism and burn more fat. You actually burn 100% carbs during the workout as a source of energy. People that do consistent interval training on a weekly basis burn more fat 24 hours a day, even on days they don t exercise.
It relies upon generally on the specific deal and who the sponsors are. There are usually two sorts of Walmart coupons that you may acquire on the internet, a $500 and a $1000 one. Naturally, the latter will demand you to join more offers although they are still the same type of cost-free trial offers therefore there is no need to worry. The promotions in most instances range from Blockbuster to Video Professor to Acai Weight Loss supplements to Coffee trials to NetFlix consequently there is perhaps a possibility that people may even be really interested on one or maybe more of the offers. In all instances, irrespective of what the offers are you may subscribe for just about all, cancel and refund the offers you do not like plus still get your free Walmart gift card. Nearly all persons who shop on the web do terminate most of the trials they participate in and so you shouldn t feel bad for doing so yourself, if it part of the game. It s a piece of cake to cancel, all it itakes is a quick email to say you re cancelling and you are finished.

Brace yourself. Some rather unpleasant side effects have been reported from use of Orlistat products. Users have reported uncontrollable anal discharges, so taking this drug could well result in embarrassing situations. Other possible effects are oily stools, loss of bowel control, diarrhea rectal pain, liver inflammation and fatigue. So Orlistat based products may not be the shining ray of light overweight people have been hoping for.
Glucomannan is derived from konjac flour, which comes from the tuber of the various species of amorphophallus plants (related to the common philodendron). Konjac flour has a long history in China and Japan where it has traditionally been used as a food substance to thicken foods, much like guar and xanthan gums, and as a general health aid for skin care.

Superior Court
Superior Court Judge Brian Amero recently welcomed a special guest to the first session of the New Year.
Judge Ryo Takashima, from the Kyoto District Court of Japan, has been in the United States for the past several months studying aspects of the United States' judicial system. Judge Amero invited him to observe Henry County Superior Court proceedings after meeting at the Judicial Winter Conference held in Athens.
Judge Takashima has spent much of his time in the U.S. observing the proceedings at Fulton County Superior Court. He said that he has learned a great deal in the U.S. and will take back what he has observed to judicial officials in Japan. He is most interested in the way Henry County operates its Drug Court, as well as the court calendar system and its efficient case management.
Judge Amero said he is often fascinated by the way judicial proceedings are handled in other countries, but strongly believes in the United States jury trial system, which he said is the best way to ensure justice.
"The jury trial system is the best way to resolve criminal cases," said Amero. "It's a constitutional bedrock principle that works extremely well."
Judge Takashima says several courts in Japan have adopted a modified version of the jury system, influenced in part by both the U.S. system and German and other European court systems, where some cases are heard by a three-panel of judges, along with a panel of six lay people. He was also surprised how much U. S. courts rely on oral interpretation as opposed to written submissions, which is much more common in Japan.

Cold Lentil Salad Ideas
I've tried to incorporate more lentils into my diet, as they're a wonderfully healthy food. But I like them best in cold salads. Does anyone have any good recipes? I made one on the fly a couple nights ago that I just love - but I'm gonna get tired of it after I finish the rather large batch.
I mixed together the following:
1 roasted red pepper (done on the grill)
shreds of lightly sauteed zucchini
shreds of raw baby spinach
mixed olives, chopped
two roasted beets (golden and red)
finely chopped green onions (mostly the green bits)
feta crumbles
Topped it all off with a red wine vinaigrette made with walnut oil, garlic, Italian seasoning and a touch of honey. It's pretty good. Would love some more ideas though!
i know i've posted this before, but here you go:
lentils at room temp (i use french lentils, they're so nice and delicate)
hard boiled eggs, cut into eighths
avocado, cut similar size
dressing - juice of 3 or 4 lemons, s&p, tbs. Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, and 2 minced shallots.
very simple, very delightful. something about the combo of textures and flavors make this a total hit anytime i bring it anywhere. i love the idea of walnut oil. and beets!
re: mariacarmen
I just copied this. I'd seen your post of this before, but forgot about it. I'm going to get an avocado and make this soon. Thx, MC.
re: mariacarmen
this sounds fantastic! Lots of protein, healthy fat, creaminess, with a bit of acidic bite. My version is:
french lentils
roasted diced beets (I add these as I serve out the portions.... to myself... so as to preserve the colors of the other ingredients)
halved grape tomatoes
half moons of english cucumber
sliced red onion
thiny sliced fennel (with fronds as garnish/herbage)
whole salted marcona almonds
Instead of adding a separate dressing, I just spoon some dijon mustard on top, a glug or three of tarragon vinegar, s&p, and a scant glug of a VERY fruity extra virgin olive oil.
I make a big batch and eat a small bowl for at least one meal a day til it's gone because I love it so much
There's a lentil salad with coconut & tomato that I love at room temperature - it comes from a book called Indian Home Cooking. If you want to make it right, it requires some ingredients that are hard to come by in some parts of the US: black mustard seed, curry leaves, asafetida. If you want the recipe, let me know.
re: THewat
I would love to have this recipe. The only thing I can't ever find are curry leaves, not even at our intl. market that stocks every other conceivable Indian ingredient.. (Even when I was in NY recently and went to Kalustyan's, they didn't have them.) Anyone have a good mail order source? Or suggestions for substitutions?
re: nomadchowwoman
Sometimes the place just north of Kalustyan's has them, even when Kalustyan's doesn't. But I find them most reliably in NY in Jackson Heights, Queens - Patel Brothers almost always has them. I buy lots & freeze. I really love the flavor & I haven't found a substitute.
Warm Lentil Salad with Coconut & Tomato, from Indian Home Cooking (Saran & Lyness)
21/2 Tablespoons Canola oil
1 Tablespoon black mustard seed
1 teaspoon yellow split peas
1 teaspoon cumin seed
2 whole dry red chiles
8 fresh or 12 frozen curry leaves, torn
1/8 teaspoon asafetida
1 fresh hot green chile, cut into thin slices
1 red onion sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
1 small tomato, chopped
1 cup split peas or lentils simmered until just tender
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Combine oil, mustard seeds & yellow split peas; cook over med-high heat until mustard seeds crackle. Add the cumin & cook until it turns brown. Add the dried chiles, curry leaves & asafetida & cook, stirring, about 1 more minute. Add the fresh chile, onion & salt & cook until the onion softens. Add the coconut & cook until it turns golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomato & cook, stirring, one minute. Add the cooked lentils, lemon juice & cilantro & stir until the lentils are warmed through. Good warm & at room temp.
re: THewat
TY, THewat--this recipe sounds great; I will continue in my quest for curry leaves b/c I really want to make this. (But only 1 teaspoon yelow split peas?)
re: nomadchowwoman
It's all you need - they're really crunchy.
re: THewat
OK--I thought maybe that was a typo.
re: nomadchowwoman
I double checked. Thanks for asking - it could well have been. :-)
re: nomadchowwoman
nomadchowoman I think you have misread the recipe. The main lentils/split peas in this recipe are further down the ingredients list - 1 cup, cooked. The 1 tsp of split peas is used additionaly as a South Indian style seasoning, cooked in a little oil. By the way, it would also be more correct to use urad dal or channa dal rather than split peas as a fried seasoning.
re: nomadchowwoman
Indian markets often carry curry leaves fresh.
Here, where I live, they usually look like they came off a tree in someone's back yard, just in a plastic bag in the fridge.
re: nomadchowwoman
I actually saw curry leaves in a jar at Whole Foods the other day, on the aisle with the Indian curry pastes.
re: nomadchowwoman
You can get them in the South Asian markets on Mott St. south of Canal
I make one with beluga lentils, chopped dill, and tiny cubes of cheese (I use cave-aged Marisa http://www.cowgirlcreamery.com/prodin... but you could use any hard, salty cheese) tossed with a light vinaigrette.
re: mamachef
steamed string beans? we have lots of beans now and the combo sounds lovely.
re: magiesmom
Yep, until just done...and best yet, if you top and French the beans.
My wife loves lentils and has several wonderful, surprisingly easy recipes.
Our favourite is from Provence. It is yummy, easy & is also nice the next day.
To serve 6:
1 1/2 cups duPuy Lentils
5 cups water
1 bay leaf
generous pinch salt
12 green olives, if you can get almond filled ones go for them
3 tbsp nice extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- in a pot, bring lentils, water, bay, salt gently to a boil and simmer, uncovered, about 20-30 minutes until just tender. Keep an eye on them towards the end & don't overcook them or they'll get mushy & the salad won't be fun
- remove pot from the heat & let the lentils cool.
- when they are cool, drain well
- chop the olives and mix them into the lentils. Toss with the olive oil & vinegar. Adjust for salt.
- serve at room temperature or chilled.
I make a hot lentil dish that is also wonderful at room temperature - roast smallish cubes of butternut squash, red onions and fennel with some garlic, then toss with cooked pardina lentils (use regular brown or du Puy if you can't find pardina). Add slices or cubes of well-browned kielbasa (I slice it and broil it so there are lots of crispy edges). Dress it with a mixture of balsamic, sherry and red wine vinegars, olive oil (plus the fat from the sausage) and lots of chopped fresh rosemary and thyme.
I like to put fruit in savory salads. I do whatever is seasonal usually. Right now peaches and basil would be good, maybe throw some roasted red peppers in there.
Figs would be good, berries.
I then balance out the sweetness with a more acidic vinaigrette maybe 1:1 oil:vin.
I make an asian style one that I love. Cook up green lentils in a bit of veg stock so they take on a bit of flavour. Steam some brocolli and edamame. Toss everything with a dressing of sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey and lime juice
Wow, these all sound good. Rocky74, I never would have thought of the Asian twist, but it sounds wonderful.
If you can get your hands on the lemons, this salad with roasted beets and preserved lemon is amazing: http://events.nytimes.com/recipes/770...
I love them with a super-mustardy dressing, some sort of minced onion/shallot, and whatever vegetable bits I have around.
They're very nice with yogurt sauces as well.
This recipe is a favorite and is not your run of the mill salad.... I never tire of it!
I like a farro salad with tomatoes, basil, capers, a white wine vinaigrette (with shallot), and last time I made it, I added some cooked du Puy lentils; I thought it worked pretty well.
I cook lentils in chicken stock with a finely chopped onion, about 8 finely chopped garlic cloves and an envelope of Sazon. Drain and toss with a dressing made of lemon juice, olive oil, a little salt, pepper. Toss in chopped walnuts and capers. I also love a bit of chopped kim chi on top. I eat a bit of this at almost every meal.
This is pretty basic but delicious:
For a side I like just sliced red peppers dipped in drained yogurt mixed with dill, garlic, and a little lemon juice. I have it with or without brown rice, depending on mood and hungriness. It will be warmish as written but it's even better given time in the fridge to chill and meld flavors.
I love this lentil salad from Jack Bishops's "A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen." Simple and delicious warm or room temp (which is why I just made it in my hurricane prep). Cook green (Puy) lentils with a few smashed cloves of garlic and a few bay leaves. Add diced carrots when the lentils are about 2/3 done. When done, mix with diced celery, slivered radishes, dill and feta. I often throw in diced grape tomatoes or whatever else I have around. Dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
re: herring
The September issue of Everyday Food has a reader submitted recipe for "Lentil Salad with Grapes and Feta" which I enjoyed. Essentially: cook French or brown lentils. Mix together a vinegarette with red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, and olive oil. Combine with toasted walnuts, halved seedless red grapes, chopped celery, fresh thyme, and feta. Season with salt and pepper. Nice flavor combination!
The latest issue of Cook's Illustrated has an article on cooking lentils with several salad ideas - they all look great!
