The Dirt on Rice…Literally
Rice has long been at the top of the hierarchy in the prepper's pantry. It's inexpensive, a source of energy-boosting carbohydrates and can extend a humble serving of meat to turn it into a meal for a hungry family.
But lately, it seems that rice is falling from favor – and there are a few very valid reasons for that.
First of all, the pesticide load on conventionally grown rice is tremendous. PANNA (Pesticide Action Network of North America) identified more than 40 different pesticides on rice grown in California, with 15 of those pesticides on their "bad actors" list – which means that the pesticides have been proven in multiple studies to have negative effects on human beings and/or groundwater systems.
The website Whats On My Food? noted that the pesticides included those which were known to be carcinogenic, bee toxins, human reproductive and developmental toxins, neurotoxins and suspected hormone disruptors.
Rice that has been grown organically is not soaked in pesticides and fungicides from seed to package, like conventional rice. This is a vast improvement for the purity and nutritional value of a bulk rice purchase. White rice, when stored properly, has a far longer shelf life than brown rice, which is far more nutritious (and many find it much tastier as well).
Unfortunately, though, even organic rice is not the best thing to serve on a regular basis. Recent studies have shown that all rice, organic and conventional, has a high level of naturally occurring arsenic.
Arsenic is a metallic element that is toxic to multi-cellular life forms. There are two types of arsenic: inorganic and organic. Inorganic arsenic has not bonded with carbon, and is a known carcinogen. Organic arsenic is found in seafood and is generally considered to be non-toxic. It is excreted through urine within about 48 hours of consumption.
Arsenic is taken into the rice from the soil, through the roots of the plant. Arsenic can get into the soil in many different ways, including the use of arsenic-containing pesticides. These pesticides can remain in the soil for up to 45 years after they were sprayed. Another source of arsenic in the soil is fertilizer made from chicken droppings – commercial chicken feed has been found to have high levels of the toxin. When rice fields are deliberately flooded, the water soluble arsenic in the soil is delivered to the roots of the plants.
Brown rice contains more arsenic than white rice – the arsenic accumulates in the hull, which is stripped during processing. The hull, however, contains most of the nutrients in the rice.
Arsenic can be toxic in both the short-term and the long-term. Everyone is familiar with the use of arsenic as a poison. According to the Mayo Clinic:
"Arsenic is perhaps the best known of the metal toxins, having gained notoriety from its extensive use by Renaissance nobility as an antisyphilitic agent…A wide range of signs and symptoms may be seen in acute arsenic poisoning including headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypotension, fever, hemolysis, seizures, and mental status changes. Symptoms of chronic poisoning, also called arseniasis, are mostly insidious and nonspecific. The gastrointestinal tract, skin, and central nervous system are usually involved. Nausea, epigastric pain, colic abdominal pain, diarrhea, and paresthesias of the hands and feet can occur."
A study performed at Dartmouth University discovered the presence of arsenic in organic items sweetened with brown rice syrup at a level that was 17 times higher than the allowable amount of arsenic in drinking water. Rodale Press reported on the study:
Brian Jackson, PhD, the study's author, said that it wasn't just brown rice syrup that posed an arsenic threat, but any diet high in rice products, for instance, gluten-free diets in which rice flour is commonly used as a replacement for wheat. Rice is easily contaminated because arsenic is very similar to silica—a mineral rice needs in order to grow. "The rice does not discriminate between the source of arsenic," Jackson notes. "If there is arsenic in the soil, whether from pesticides or naturally, or both, then it can be taken up by rice."
…Lifetime, cumulative exposure to arsenic has been linked to cancers of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney, nasal passages, liver, and prostate, but in a letter to Nature's One, researcher Jackson told the company, "we don't know what risks are associated with low level, limited-duration exposures."
- White rice grown in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas, which account for 76 percent of domestic rice, generally had higher levels of total arsenic and inorganic arsenic in our tests than rice samples from elsewhere.
- Within any single brand of rice we tested, the average total and inorganic arsenic levels were always higher for brown rice than for white.
- People who ate rice had arsenic levels that were 44 percent greater than those who had not, according to our analysis of federal health data. And certain ethnic groups were more highly affected, including Mexicans, other Hispanics, and a broad category that includes Asians.
- Reducing arsenic in food is feasible. We examined the efforts of two food companies, including Nature's One, trying to tackle the problem and learned about methods being used to try to reduce arsenic in products.
- Based on these findings, our experts are asking the Food and Drug Administration to set limits for arsenic in rice products and fruit juices as a starting point.
The arsenic cannot be completely removed from the rice through washing or cooking methods – it's there, inherent in the grain. It can be reduced. though, by up to 30% by washing the rice thoroughly before cooking it. The Asian cooking method of 1 part rice to 6 parts water, draining well before serving, as opposed to allowing your rice to absorb all the cooking liquid in the North American manner of cooking rice, is also helpful in reducing the presence of arsenic. These two steps also help to remove pesticides and antifungals that have been sprayed on the rice, as well as additives like talc and cornstarch which are sometimes added at the packaging plant in order for rice to have the clean white appearance we are so familiar with. Proper washing and cooking methods can significantly reduce the amount of toxins in home-prepared rice.
I performed a little rice washing experiment this morning because I was curious whether I could get any visible results. I used the same method as I always do for prepping rice. I used a conventionally grown brown rice for this. I don't have a lab, so I can't tell you exactly what I removed from the rice – but the visual tells me I do NOT want to skip this – ever!
I first soaked the rice in a baking soda rinse – 4 tbsp of baking soda to 2 cups of water.
Then I drained the rice into a white bowl to make it easier to see what came off in the soak. I ended up with a dirty, dingy looking water with little flecks of dirt in it.
I then washed out the bowl and dried it. I rinsed the rice into the bowl – this time I put a fork in the bottom of the bowl to illustrate how cloudy and dirty the rinse water was.
Again, I washed and dried the bowl and placed the spoon in the bottom.
After the 3rd rinse you could start to see the fork a little better.
I washed and dried the bowl and fork yet again.
By the time I rinsed it a 4th time, the water looked clean and clear.
My personal rules for rice have changed after doing the research for this article.
1.) I won't buy commercial products made from rice, because I don't know the process that has been used to clean the rice and remove pesticides, dirt and arsenic from it. This goes for organic as well as conventional rice products.
2.) Rice consumption will be limited to once per week, if that, in our household.
3.) I won't ever eat rice at a restaurant again! I've seen how they dump rice right from the box into the pot.
4.) I'll only buy organic rice because of the outrageous amount of pesticide usage.
In a prepping scenario, if your water is limited, rice is going to be the last thing you want to prepare because of the extensive washing and cooking water required. You don't want to rely long-term on a food that contains something as toxic and carcinogenic as arsenic – the poison can build up in your system and cause serious problems. Look to other grains for your carbohydrates – consider quinoa, wheat berries, couscous, barley and oats – none of these grains has the extensive pesticide load of rice and the natural arsenic levels are far lower.

22 Comments to The Dirt on Rice…Literally
Thank you for posting this! I always try to buy organic rice, but never thought of washing it. Will do that from now on.
I grew up eating rice just about every day for the first 25 years of my life with no ill effects. Mind you I grew up eating rice grown in the Caribbean so that might have something to do with it. Either way, neither I nor anybody I know has shown any signs of illness brought on by arsenic. Perhaps it is limited to the domestic rice brands?
many cultures eat rice much more regularly than most white bread americans, perhaps therefore more acclimated. the naturally occurring arsenic can be flushed more readily from the body without build up than say arsenic with a slew of toxic pesticides. the arsenic is coming from high concentrations in the soil i'd assume, not inherent in to all rice itself, or like tea that's normally high in fluoride. a good alternative to rice in my house is quinoa.
I believe what youre rinsing from the rice is mostly starch and not so much, dirt. I eat Basmati rice after rinsing 3 times and then soaking for 30 minutes…followed by a final rinsing. Arsenic has been added to chicken feed for at least the last 40 years (which is why I raise my own as close to organic as possible). All those droppings, as well as the chickens, are contaminated. I live in a Tyson town…I wont even get started on the nastiness of their 'operations'.
Just an FYI, I wouldn't EAT anything at any restaurant that uses boxed rice. Or boxed potatoes.
Most white rice is enriched, which means they have vitamins and minerals added that were removed in the process of removing the bran. If you wash the rice before cooking, or use the Chinese method of cooking, you loose the vitamin content of the rice.
After rice is hulled, it is coated with a bit of talc to help with storage and packaging. That is most of what you see when you wash rice. It won't hurt anybody, but I usually wash it off. It isn't dirt, and is similar in some ways to diatomaceous earth. Preppers using rice can mix 1 cup of food-grade diatomaceous earth (FGDE) into five gallons of rice (or any grain or legume) to prevent insects from eating it. My local feed store sells #50 bag of FGDE for $30. The stuff washes right off, has no odor or taste, and is completely harmless to people and animals.
can anyone tell me more about the diatomaceous earth powder, how is it safe to put on food. when I used to put in yard for fleas, it said do not breathe or walk on for 48 hours and til it had been watered in. curious I had never heard to be used with food interested! thank you all for all the wonderful info you all share!! learning everyday!
skip thru the beginning as it is a link regarding horse worming, but it gives other benefits of D.E. just make sure it's food grade…
sorry, forgot the link on original post.
Please, you could anytime send me tips to help the need of others towards healthy living.
I'm Filipino and we wash our rice thoroughly. I have friends here in the states that do not wash their rice. Gross.
People who eat rice and beans (as opposed to meat and potato- usual U.S. meal)…have a much higher life expectancy and don't have all the health problems we do here in the US. So I don't understand how this can come about… very confusing.
Recently, I had stomach pains after eating rice and beans and was concerned it was the rice so came to your website. It was just a plain bag of brown Uncle Bens' rice, which we have been eating for a long time. (??!)
There has been a recent recall on Uncle Ben's Rice.
Doesn't water turn cloudy just by adding baking soda to it?
Are you washing it in fluoridated water? If so you successfully added even more toxins.
I was wondering if the same goes for brown rice?

HOUSTON — GE and Lufkin Industries have announced a joint agreement whereby GE will acquire Lufkin Industries Inc., a leading provider of artificial lift technologies for the oil and gas industry and a manufacturer of industrial gears, for approximately $3.3 billion.
Artificial lift, used in 94% of the roughly 1 million oil-producing wells around the world, helps lift hydrocarbons to the surface in reservoirs with low pressure and improves the efficiency of naturally flowing wells. Upon close, Lufkin will broaden GE Oil & Gas' artificial lift capabilities beyond electric submersible pumps (ESPs) to include rod lift, gas lift, plunger lift, hydraulic lift, progressive cavity pumps and a sophisticated array of well automation and production optimization controls and software. The ESP category of artificial lift is the only lift segment in which Lufkin does not currently compete.
"Advanced technologies, combined with new drilling practices, are revolutionizing the oil and gas industry," said Daniel C. Heintzelman, president and CEO, GE Oil & Gas. "The artificial lift segment is at the heart of critical changes that are helping producers maximize well potential–which translates into increased output at lower operational cost. Lufkin's world-class people, equipment and services fit perfectly in our portfolio and will enable us to offer a wide range of artificial lift solutions to our customers in this fast-growing artificial lift sector."
"GE represents an excellent new home for Lufkin's technologies, services and our highly skilled and experienced employees," said John F. "Jay" Glick, Lufkin's president and CEO.
Headquartered in Lufkin, Texas, with approximately 4,500 employees in more than 40 countries, Lufkin manufactures and services a broad portfolio of industry-leading artificial lift equipment through a global network of more than 110 service centers and nine manufacturing facilities.
The transaction, which is unanimously recommended by Lufkin's board of directors, is expected to close in the second half of 2013 subject to Lufkin shareholders' approval, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Running an active entrepreneurs blog is not exactly what you would call a piece of cake. It requires much time and effort, but a few simple guidelines could make your business blog highly successful. Adhering to few rules could work wonders for the promotion and enhancement of your business.
Keep Goals for Blog Management
A business-aligned communication strategy is essential, such that all your actions are linked to the basic goals of your company. Your communication should be based on this strategy rather than on reactions to events. Creating hype over inconsequential matters is just not approved of.
Get Good Blog Management Team
You need intelligent authors who can relate your thoughts intelligently. They must be able to switch their tone of writing according to the requirement. Articles and case studies demand information and logic, while socially engineered material needs a more informal tone.
Organize an Entrepreneurs Blog
Your actions should be planned, and executed accordingly. Keep an editorial calendar and always update for all types of content. Your company needs to be familiar with this calendar so that they can give valuable inputs on new ideas and content.
Distribution of Business Blog
The key to success for an entrepreneurs blog is distributing the content among the right consumers. You need to keep up the traffic, for which you can use social networking sites. This will help you get the right audience and relevant links.
Be Ethical in Business Blog
Do not take an unethical approach to search engine optimization. Stuffing keywords and posting bogus content will only ruin your chances. Keep adding fresh and unique content to your blog is the best way to achieve a high SERP. Black hat practices never achieve long term success, and could easily get your company banned.
Use Different Channels
Publish your content in different formats, settings and channels. Content marketing helps with this. Make use of Facebook and Twitter. Generate a variety of content, ranging from blog posts to articles to eNewsletters. You can also put up photos and videos.
Keep it Relevant
Content which continues to be relevant as time passes will help to reinforce your business goals. Irrelevant material is a turn off and decreases your chances of keeping your blog successful in the long run.
Monitor the Content
Your content should be accessible only in a branded environment, so that your business is credited for sharing and not for hoarding of content. You should have your own web portal or website, to which customers can have direct access – if not yet then you can check our free services in building one for your business as soon as possible.
Make it Attractive
A well-designed and well-formatted website or blog will obviously attract more traffic. A professional layout is extremely important for an entrepreneurs blog to be taken seriously. Your choice of design should reflect the attitude and tone of your company.
Performance Analysis
You need to have a flexible approach so as to keep updating and adjusting your content marketing strategy according to performance indicators. These include views, shares and other types of response. Merely creating the content is not sufficient by itself. You need to maintain it vigilantly.

The advantages that dry trees and the accompanying surface processing facilities have over subsea systems are substantial. Some of these are monitoring, maintenance, easy access, adjustment and optimization of production. These, along with pressure issues of just getting the oil and gas to the surface, are widely regarded as the biggest reasons that subsea production falls short in terms of ultimate reservoir recovery. The full range of options that exist in very shallow water and land are not yet available for producing from deeper waters. However, the difference in recovery factors, as well as the simple economics of not having to invest in surface real estate, is driving a change.

hi im new ive just started to feed the birds in my garden i have starlings, blue tits,sparrows and a pigeon, i do have different feeders but im gettin swamped with starlings now how do i get rid of them? i have been told they will go once their babies have fled the nest is this true
My garden is the same Kathy, it's full of young fledged starlings looking for easy food. I let them get on with it as the adults don't seem to be around all year, they appear in spring and seems once babies have fledged they do disappear. The young ones hang around for a while and get very quarrelsome!
Hi Kathy, welcome to the site - I'm fairly new too, and I have had some really helpful advice already. There is another thread called Starlings which someone must have posted at the same time as you, and that already has some tips on it.
Thankyou for your advice I will leave them they are young ones and rather noisy and quarrlesome they may disapear
You'll be lucky. They are opportunists. If you feed them, they'll stay.
I love my birds - costs me a fortune to support them. I do not mind the robins, the crows, jackdaws, magpies, black birds et all - but I dread it when the starlings come round - such messy eaters and such bully boys - an elderly acquaintance used to call them "shovellers" as they seem to shovel as much into their beaks as they can and even so much that they drop it as they fly away. They do seem, however, to diminish as the year goes on and just come back at baby feeding time or in a very harsh winter.
Starling numbers are dropping too
well ive had to remove feeder you can lower it so larger birds cant get to it but the starlings managed to get there heads in and take the meal worms and i had loads im goin to put sunflower seeds in and see if that keeps them away does any one know what starlings wont bother with i do have a wooden nut feeder and there noth bothering with it just the cocunuts and the suet feeder
It seems to me that they eat everything Iput out whether it be left over meat potatoes, pastry, suet pellets, seeds etc

We have been busy. Lots of exciting plans behind the scenes of Red Bread as we head into the dog days of summer. I can hardly wait to share whats really brewing in the kitchen but I have been sworn to keep it a surprise so you will have to wait a few more weeks! In the mean time speaking of brews, here is one of our favorites to keep you cool through the summer and beyond. And a recipe for our delicious cultured candy because we love you.
Kombucha is one of our favorite drinks. It's refreshing tart flavor is infinitely versatile and if you brew it yourself absurdly cheap. Kombucha comes to us by way of China and Russia. This sweetened tea beverage is made possible by a symbiosis of yeast and bacteria, alcohol created by yeast is turned into acetic acid by bacteria resulting in an effervescent drink reminiscent of weak vinegar. Alcohol production is limited as acidity is increased though trace amounts may remain in your final brew. This effervescent drink has detoxifying properties on the body assisting the liver to function more efficiently. Delicious and Nutritious? Yes, but like all things still in moderation. This brewing process can be kept going in a cycle so there is always Kombucha on hand for you to enjoy.
Kombucha is best made with black or green loose leaf tea which is much fresher than tea bags. However, tea bags can be used in place of loose leaf 1 bag for every tablespoon. Many herbal teas have antimicrobial properties that prevent fermentation or in some cases can kill the scoby. In the first fermentation we want the bacteria to win out! Herbs and flavors is added during the second fermentation where the fermentation is already established and therefore not at risk. Honey is not a good alternative sweetner because it also has antimicrobial properties, although fermentation will happen it will be very weak.
What you need:
3+ quarts purified water
3-5 Tbs of loose leaf tea, green or black
1 cup cane sugar
Brags Live Apple Cider Vinegar *
What you need to do:
Place loose leaf tea in a metal tea strainer. Heat water to boil. Pour hot water over tea, allow to steep till it cools to room temperature about 3 hours or overnight. Once tea is at room temperature pull out tea strainer and add raw cane sugar. Stir vigorously until sugar dissolves. Pour into a wide mouth 4 quart jar. Add Scoby. If this is your first brew of kombucha you will need to add 1 cup of Braggs Live Cider Vinegar (or your own cultured vinegar!). This helps to acidify the batch, if there is not enough acidity the mother will be "smothered" and sink. A healthy mother floats at the top but may take 24 hours after the addition of a new batch of tea to refloat. If mother does not float in 24 hours add more vinegar and give it another day, if necessary continue till mother floats or new mother forms. In the future you will keep 1 cup from the previous brew to add to your new brew to maintain the proper acidity.
Once Scoby is added, cover opening with a cloth napkin and secure with a rubber band. Ferment at room temperature in a dark place, a cupboard works but I like to keep mine on the kitchen counter top (covered with another kitchen towel to block sunlight) so I don't forget about it. Allow to ferment for 7 days. Brew should begin to bubble in the first few days.
After 7 days you can bottle your brew. Or do a second fermentation to add a flavor.
Second Fermentation:
Pour brew into a second 4 quart jar, reserving 1 cup or more to acidify your next brew. Here is where you would add flavor, no strict amounts everything can be done to taste. You can choose to add crushed fruit, whole herbs and spices. The easiest thing to do is add a flavored syrup which won't requiring straining before bottling. Add up to 1 cup of flavored syrup. Cap tightly and ferment an additional 2-3 days to taste. The tight capping will build up the effervescence. Kombucha can be enjoyed in a glass immediately or bottled for further effervescence build up. To continue to enjoy out of the large jar, simply move the whole jar to the fridge. Enjoy.
To bottle, whether after the first or second fermentation, pour kombucha into screw top bottles leaving 1 inch headspace. Add a pinch of raw cane sugar and screw cap tightly. Move to cupboard and ferment 3-7 days to taste. The longer the ferment the more "dry" it will taste resembling a weak vinegar, the shorter the sweeter. Once fully fermented move to fridge. Enjoy on the go!
Note: Often your second fermentation and the bottles will develop new mothers, or what we affectionately call "babymommas". You can discard, give away or drink up. Consider it lucky!
Over time the mother scoby will grow thicker and thicker. This is a great time to peel off layers and share with your community. Even then you will find yourself in excess and at that point the only answer is candy. Whenever I teach Kombucha, I bring these candies as a treat for my students and I am always handed back an empty jar.
"Buchies" Cultured Candy
Once dried Buchies taste of delicious tart apple pie.
What you need:
Peeled layers of Scoby, at least 1/4″ thick
Raw cane sugar
2 cups 50/50 sugar syrup
What you need to do:
Make sugar syrup ahead of time by combining equal parts raw cane sugar and filtered water. Heat until sugar just dissolves, cool to room temp and reserve in a jar. Peel 1/4″ thick layers of scoby mother, be sure to reserve an intact mother to continue your brewing. Chop mother into 1″ pieces. In a wide baking dish, create alternating layers of pieces of scoby and a sprinkling of raw can sugar. When you run out of scoby to layer, pour room temp 50/50 sugar solution over scoby until almost submerged. Tightly cover baking dish with lid or cello wrap and allow to marinate for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, put parchment paper on a baking sheet with raised sides. Pour entire mixture onto baking sheet. Bake overnight at the lowest temperature your oven will allow. For most residential ovens this will be 170*, propping open the oven door a crack and turning on the fan will create a better drying environment. After 6-8 hours candy will resemble Gummy Bears, after 14-16 hours candy will resemble a soft jolly rancher.
Note: You may need more or less 50/50 sugar syrup depending on the amount of candy you are making.
Note: If you have a dehydrator capable of drying at a lower (below 115) and longer temperature do so. This will preserve the live properties of the candy! Drying in the wonderful sunlight is also an option, but will take much longer and you must be sure to cover it from other living creatures who will be interested in a treat.

Is this a bad thing? When the plans for my new library were being drawn up, I suggested hat we build in some kind of shielding so no signals would penetrate the structure... Then, no such signs would ever be needed. I wish theaters would do this...
It would be a bad thing if you ever plan to offer mobile browser-based service or SMS reference.
I can see -talking- on a cell phone being bad but phones do so much more than that these days. Instructions like this are just not reasonable to most people anymore.
It would also be "nicer" to have a place (or a few places) set aside for people to be able to talk on their phone and direct them there instead of just saying no.
Cell phones are no longer an optional accessory, but a part of life. We need to invite our customers and attached devices into our building with open arms...
The sign is unnecessarily restrictive. Most--if not all--cellphones have a vibrate and/or "sounds off" option, so receiving notification of calls and sending/receiving text messages doesn't have to be disruptive. (I seriously wonder how many librarians are aware of this, since cellphones rang in every single session of the last librarian conference I attended!)
We don't post signs on the door of the library saying no one can talk in the building. We expect, and enforce, appropriate behavior where it's necessary. How is that different from the use of cell phones? A library denying the need for appropriate use of cell phones has a death wish.
Maybe it's a community thing, but most of the people I encounter at the library turn when someone's cellphone goes off and shoot them a look that clearly says, "Die!" The vibrate idea would be great if people had any common sense whatsoever, sadly they don't. This is why they also talk at full volume about their most personal matters in crowded rooms. Nobody else wants to hear about it... Then another someone's phone rings and they do the same thing after they just shot the other dumbass a dirty look.
I think we should limit down to a very bare minimum the number of times we "no." If we want to make our libraries user friendly, limiting the "no" word will go a long way. Especially cell phones. we ask that ringers be turned low and that conversations be kept private.
It all depends. Certainly a university library can be a 'cathedral of quietness' as Garrison Keillor observed, and so the restriction is necessary. But students who use the library already observe these unwritten rules, so do we really have to ask?
On the other hand, public libraries can be incredibly noisy, filled with kids story hours, workshops, chats with staff at service desks, etc. Maybe posting the sign for a particular area, designated for quiet study, would be better.
This is my cell phone sign:
Sabrina, I want to work at your library. Trying to compete for a student's attention WHO HAS COME TO THE DESK for assistance, but insists on continuing to chat on the cell phone is beyond frustrating.
I have heard every ringer imaginable. I've had to go turn students' cells off b/c they have earphones on and can't hear it, or they've left their stuff and gone off to who knows where.
>Trying to compete for a student's attention WHO HAS COME TO THE DESK for assistance, but insists on continuing to chat on the cell phone is beyond frustrating.
No kidding. I just ignore them and do something else until they hang up.
I think some of my biggest pet peeves with signs like this are the use of red font, all CAPS, and underlining. And exclamation points. Seriously, is that necessary? Do we really think library users wouldn't understand a nice "please be courteous" sign? This is just so uninviting.
I really dislike signs like this. It is highly questionable to put up such an unwelcoming sign and then two steps away ask why students aren't coming to the reference desk.
I made this sign idea to try and get the message across while still having a bit of fun. http://www.library.cmu.edu/People/jfudrow/golden_silence.pdf
I have since talked to the director of the library involved and he has informed me that the library is active in discussions regarding changing the policy to something less restrictive.

My Work:
My medium of choice is three-dimensional fiber installation. Starting with undyed silk organza, I hand mix a variety of dye baths, then create patterns and textures on the fiber. The fabric is cut into smaller pieces and left to show the surface texture, or steam pressed to instill a uniform appearance. The piece itself only takes shape upon the wall it will live, fastened securely with dressmakers' pins. Each segment of the installation is deliberately positioned to reflect the atmosphere in which it inhabits. Copious amounts of time can be spent on a single installation, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece that others can enjoy.
The documentation of each installation is key to the success of my work. So much of each piece is involved in the installation process that I feel that it is extremely important to capture it. My work is more than just pins and organza fiber; more than just a destination. It is a journey that I greatly encourage people to view. Due to the nature of my art, each piece is meticulously selected and deliberately installed to reflect a mood within the context of a given space.
My Career in Art Education:
I am a passionate art educator. Three years ago this passion lead me to a group of like-minded artists and the start of a dream that is now realized as Water Street Studios. Working with children, I saw a need in the community for more directed art education. Helping to found Water Street Studios School of Art has allowed me to fulfill this need. I am currently the Director of Education and also serve on the board of directors.
Art is a constructive way for a child to explore and express their feelings as well as to think and process information. Art exposes children to new ideas, cultures, and other parts of the world that they otherwise may not have experienced. One of the most important skills that a child can learn from art is critical thinking. Art teaches kids the process of looking at something, breaking it down and analyzing it, then reconstructing it with new meaning and understanding. At the School of Art we translate that into artwork; in all walks of life these skills will serve them well. I am lucky that I get to share my passion for art with my students enabling them to find their own path.

Plea hits home run with city's Latinos
Rename school for Clemente?

Board of Education Commissioner Felix Rodriguez submitted a request to change the school's name Sunday, which would have been the revered Puerto Rican baseball player's 79th birthday.

This is a great message for kids. Don't bother studying hard and getting a college degree. Just play a sport and hope to be one of the VERY FEW that gets picked to play professionally. Sounds like a GREAT PLAN. You Mr Rodriguez are a racist fool.
Go ask the PR youth or any race of youth in Waterbury who Roberto Clemente is and 95% will have NO IDEA.
Will this Mayor stop at nothing to get a few votes? "

Why does every school need to be named after someone. As is the case in WTBY we are always searching for some famous minority to name these schools after to appease the populaiton. Get a grip the shcool already has a name. Keep it the way it is. I also agree with the previous posts, if we are going to change the name can we at least find a person from WTBY worthy. Roberto Clemente really? "

Mr Rodriguez should immediately resign or be forced to resign. He is a racist!. His time would be better spent going door to door to "his people" correcting their lifestyles. One of his own would probably murder him for knocking on their door.
Lets compromise.. Lets call it the ____________School. Then we can fill in the blank someday when a hispanic actually does something worthy of having a school named after him.

|Hans-Gert Pöttering (President)
The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. (Konrad Adenauer Foundation) (KAS) is a German political party foundation associated with but independent of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The foundation's headquarters are located in Sankt Augustin near Bonn.[1] Globally, the KAS has 78 offices and runs programs in over 100 countries.[2] Its current chairman is the former President of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Pöttering. It is a member of the Centre for European Studies, the official foundation and think tank of the European People's Party (EPP)[3]
Establishment and mission[edit]
The establishment of a "systematic civic-education program inspired by Christian democratic values" began being considered in 1952 by a group of CDU politicians including Bundestag president Hermann Ehlers, Robert Tillmanns, and Heinrich Krone. On 20 December 1955 The Society for Christian Democratic Education Work, which would be renamed after Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in 1964, was opened in Bonn.[4]
The aim of the foundation's civic education programs is, according to their official website, the "promotion of freedom and liberty, peace, and justice" through "furthering European unification, improving transatlantic relations, and deepening development cooperation".[5][6] Their function as a think-tank and consulting agency is intended to provide citizens with a basis for political action through the research and analyses of current political trends.[7][8] The KAS offers more than 2,500 conferences and events each year worldwide, and actively supports the political involvement and education of intellectually gifted youth through a prestigious scholarship program as well as an ongoing comprehensive seminar program.[9][10]
Along with the headquarters in Sankt Augustin and Berlin, the KAS operates two educational centers, sixteen training centers, an Academy, and an international conference center.
The KAS consists of six departments:
- The aforementioned Academy located in Berlin, which hosts symposia, conferences, meetings, and exhibitions in order to analyze relevant societal and political issues in a public setting.[11]
- The Archive for Christian Democratic Policy (ACDP) documents and researches Christian Democracy's historical development.[12]
- The department for European and International Cooperation engages itself with international politics through the functions of the foundation's more than 200 projects in around 120 countries.[13]
- The Politics and Consulting department is the think tank of the KAS.
- The department for Civic Education combats the status quo, looking to invoke citizen participation in an era where freedom and peace are taken for granted.[14]
- The Scholarships and Cultural Activities department provides financial and moral support to roughly 2,000 students.[15]
Former President of the European Parliament Hans-Gert Pöttering is the current President of the KAS. He is joined on the Board of Directors by 24 other individuals. The KAS currently has 55 members, many of whom are current and former CDU politicians. The Board of Trustees has 24 members who assist and supervise the work of the KAS.
Similar to other German political foundations, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation is largely financed by federal and land government funds. 96.8% of the foundation's €120 million budget in 2009 was therefore provided by public funding, while 2.7% was derived from admission charges and miscellaneous revenues, and 0.5% came from private funds and donations.[16][17]
The Konrad Adenauer Foundation awards a prize for young scholars, named after the CDU politician Bruno Heck, a prize for local journalists and a literature prize.
Cooperation with other foundations and organizations[edit]
In Bavaria, the Hanns Seidel Foundation operates in lieu of the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation; in Schleswig-Holstein, the Hermann-Ehlers-Foundation assumes the Adenauer Foundation's role. These two CDU-friendly foundations are not the Adenauer Foundation's only collaborators; for instance, the Adenauer Foundation co-published a study with the Bertelsmann Foundation, the Market Economy Foundation, and the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation titled "Educational Policy in a Federal System and International Influences", in which it injected itself into the dialogue on educational policy and examined various influences. Furthermore, the Adenauer Foundation authored a "Common Declaration" in partnership with the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation, the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation, the Hans-Seidel-Foundation, and the Heinrich-Boell-Foundation which explored various mission statements and financing models of political foundations in Germany. The KAS is a member of "European Movement Germany". As a member of the market-oriented Stockholm Network, the KAS cooperates with other foundations and think tanks in issues pertaining to European politics.
See also[edit]
The other parties in Germany also use the legal form of a foundation for support and public relations purposes. The other foundations are:
- Hanns Seidel Foundation (CSU)
- Friedrich Ebert Foundation (SPD)
- Friedrich Naumann Foundation für die Freiheit (FDP)
- Heinrich Böll Foundation (Grüne)
- Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (Die Linke).

Origin feeds hybrid hungerPUBLISHED: 16 Nov 2011 00:02:00 | UPDATED: 21 Nov 2011 07:39:45PUBLISHED: 16 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 16 Nov 2011
Jonathan Shapiro
Australian energy giant Origin Energy has become the latest company to tap retail investor interest in high-yielding debt with a $500 million offer of ASX-listed hybrid notes.
Origin's hybrid securities issue follows Woolworths' popular $700 million raising in October.
Hybrids are a mixture of debt and equity, so they pay relatively low interest rates but give lenders protection if the company hits trouble.
Origin's notes have a 60-year maturity but are expected to be repaid after five years. The securities will pay an interest rate of 4.0 to 4.5 percentage points over the bank bill rate, which equates to an initial yield of 8.7 per cent to 9.2 per cent.
Australia and New Zealand Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Macquarie Bank, National Australia Bank and UBS have been appointed as lead managers. It is the second time this year that Origin Energy has raised funds through a hybrid capital raising after issuing €500 million ($668.4 million) in the European debt markets in July.
Origin is hungry for funding as it embarks on its multibillion-dollar APLNG project in Queensland. Hybrid funding is attractive because under new ratings agency criteria, the proceeds count entirely or partly as equity capital for calculations on indebtedness and thus credit rating.
Proceeds from this offer will complement funds raised in the European hybrid, while shoring up Origin's senior credit rating of BBB+.
While the cost of issuing debt in offshore markets has risen, so too has local retail appetite for income securities, and this is expected to support the raising by one of Australia's most recognisable energy companies.
Executive director of finance and strategy Karen Moses said Origin was "a much-better known name in Australia and we have good support to the extent to which we can give an opportunity to our shareholders to get a broader portfolio of opportunities". Woolworths raised $700 million of hybrid securities last month through a listed-notes offer. The company attracted about $3 billion of orders from retail and institutional investors for the notes, which paid an interest rate of 3.25 percentage points or just under 8 per cent over the bank bill rate.
"The Woolworths transaction was the start of the opening of that market. Increasingly people are looking for a greater diversity of opportunities for funding as investors are looking for greater opportunities to place their savings. So it's a nice combination," Ms Moses said.
This offer completes an active 12 months in which it has raised about $2.5 billion in the local bank market, €500 million of hybrid capital in Europe, a debut $US500 million 10-year public bond issue in October and now the $500 million listed note offer.

En ligne depuis 2003, PassionVélo est un site web unique en son genre soucieux de faire connaître ce qu'il y a de mieux, à tous les types de cyclistes, partout dans le monde! goVélo!
Accueil > Pistes cyclables > Bicycle Paths & Trails (english version) > Montreal
This exceptional uninterrupted bike path follows the St. Lawrence River from the eastern edge of Verdun to the western border of Lachine. You'll love the spectacular views of Lac Saint-Louis and the majestic Lachine Rapids. Green spaces, parks, swimming pools, restaurants etc. The Banks of St. Lawrence River are connected with the Lachine Canal, l'Île des Soeurs, La Voie Maritime and Gilles-Villeneuve bike paths.
One of the first bicycle trail in the Quebec Province, beautiful! For over a century, heavily loaded barges travelled the Canal, a distance of about 20 km. The nine locks allowed the barges to bypass rapids and overcome a considerable difference in levels between the Chambly basin and the Upper Richelieu. Fort Chambly stands on the banks of the Richelieu River, at the foot of the Chambly Rapids.
This bycycle path is also a F1 & NASCAR racing circuit! The pavement is probably the best in the bicycle path world! From the Lachine Canal bike path close to the Old Port, follow the signs for Cité du Havre and then for Gilles-Villeneuve Circuit on Île Notre-Dame.
The paved path shared by cyclists, in-line skaters and walkers is completely separated from car traffic. It is lighted at night and is well maintained. The park is open all year long and the path is maintained from April 15 to October 31. It's one of the most popular bicycle trail in Canada.
Some of them, the nature parks, have a very special mission that includes environmental conservation, architectural heritage and diverse plant and animal life. Each of these parks is unique and has its own distinctive charm.
The region is criss-crossed by bicycle paths. Along the Soulanges Canal runs a magnificent 34-kilometer (20-mile) cycle path, part of the trans-Quebec green way. Already very popular, it provides incomparable views of the canal to some 125 thousand cyclists a year.
Montreal has one of the most extensive (Not the one) systems of bicycle paths of any North American city. Check out the Montreal bicycle trail map and maps of the bicycle network which are accessible to the public.
You'll be in the middle of the St. Lawrence River! Officially, it's not a bike path. However, there is so much cyclist there that you must discover it. That 12 km traffic free trail connect l'Île des Soeurs with Gilles-Villeneuve Circuit (1,5 km non-paved) & l'Île des Soeurs and the beautiful Récré-O-Parc of Sainte-Catherine (11 km paved). Relaxing, photographing and swimming activities. Accessible by the Gilles-Villeneuve Circuit, Champlain Bridge Estacade from l'Île des Soeurs, Victoria Bridge (Bike path from Longueuil, south shore) & Sainte-Catherine (Récré-O-Parc, south shore), it's about a minimum of 30 km ride back and forth. July, August and September is the best time to ride it. Enjoy!

I never played the handheld or online version but, D3 just ported this over because the text is so tiny that even 1 foot away you can't read some words. It would control better with a stylus or a mouse so even if you are a fan of this game then just get the handheld version and skip it. It pains me ...more

Another prompt from geneabloggers! I'll get to the new Book of Me, Written by You prompt after I'm done traveling so I can sit down longer than a few minutes in front of the computer.
I'm not sure who is who in this picture besides my great-grandpa – he's on the far right. I recognize the mischievous glint in his eye! The other two boys I am assuming are (left to right) Tom and then Jack.
Now these three boys have a bit of bad blood or maybe it was just a dispute with their father. Either way, I knew none of the two great-uncles here. Jack died very young: only 22. He was hit by a car. It made the news twice because he had been hit by a Bay City official (whom they didn't persecute). Apparently Jack just got out of the tractor he was running and walked into the path of his car. That seems weird to me but I have no idea what traffic was like in 1931 in Saginaw!
Tom did come around a bit but he moved out of state. He apparently was the brother who tried out for Tarzan (I thought it had been Jack) but was beaten out by the Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller. All family rumor of course but I do have this great picture of Tom from a swimming competition. My mom recalls Tom meeting my older brother when he was still a baby. My brother was crying, so my mom picked him up to comfort him and he told her she shouldn't coddle my brother like that – he had to learn how to cry and move on. My mom obviously didn't agree; my brother wasn't even a year old yet! I got the impression that she found him a bit hard but I wonder if that's just an old school way of raising boys.
I have more pictures of Jack and Glenn then I do of Tom and Glenn and I do think that was because Tom and Glenn didn't get along real well. They stayed in touch a bit but comparing his brother to my great-grandmothers (see Friday's post!) siblings, you can sense a frostiness. One thing I hope to learn is why it was there. I don't know when it started either. I know that Tom was the witness for my great-grandparents wedding – which I was surprised to see because of the family rumor. Now I'm wondering how much stock to really put into that. I really wish I had asked more questions when he was still around!
My great-grandpa was an amazing guy. He was as goofy as his son and was always ready for a hug, a handshake (with a peppermint inside!), and a kiss for us great-grandkids. They had an amazing basement that we would always venture into where he'd show us his vast collection of shark teeth and let us play in the coal room (now a storage room). I never heard him talk though. He had had lung cancer and had his voice box removed. He died at age 86 – a full life.
