Robert Ashton mulls over the motivations behind the growing enthusiasm for social enterprise.
I live close to the Lotus Cars factory in Norfolk. Some 1,200 people work there. Many more work locally for Lotus suppliers. Norfolk's not the kind of place you expect to find a car factory, but having been here since 1966 it's become rather important.
Part of Malaysian motor group Proton, it's recently changed hands. There's talk of Lotus being peeled off and sold to the Chinese. No surprise there I guess; Volvo and Rover are already Chinese-owned marques. But the Chinese economic boom has got me thinking. Is the growth of social enterprise in Europe simply a response to our economic situation? Or is it really a deeper, more fundamental shift towards putting people before profit?
It's easy to forget that national debt, increasing poverty and economic stagnation are very much a European phenomenon. In China, India, Asia and Latin America economies are growing and so are personal incomes. People can afford more and that's what they're buying. Meat consumption is increasing, car sales are booming and Western luxury brands becoming increasingly popular.
But while China might love the quality of BMW and Mulberry, our standards of equality and human rights are less welcome. China in particular has a very different approach to personal freedom to us in the EU. To put it bluntly, profit seems more important there than people.
It was perhaps in some respects similar here when we were enjoying the post-war boom years. People had little time for tolerance or justice when they could suddenly afford the things they'd never thought would be within their grasp. As the 1960s progressed my own parents acquired their first car; their first TV and their first washing machine. It was a liberating time for some, but not for others. But they were by today's standards also racist, homophobic and would never have bought a copy of the Big Issue had it been available.
I don't think people are really that different wherever they live. The human psyche has been well researched and when stripped of environment and social context we're all pretty much the same. Localism's strength, in concept at least, is that it re-introduces us to the opportunity to become more tribal again. Get to know your neighbours and collectively you'll soon aspire to see your street do better than others in your town.
Which brings me back to the question I'm wrestling with right now; are we really only interested in social enterprise because it's an alternative to material fulfilment? Or have we somehow made a giant leap from our Pavlovian past? Would we abandon our concerns for the less fortunate in our society if economic prosperity returned? Tax revenues and philanthropy used to deal with the stuff most chose to ignore. It's an interesting thought.

Product Description
Dr. Trenton Hendricks was last seen Friday, April 8, when he set out alone on a backpacking trip. Hendricks's Jeep Grand Cherokee was located Tuesday at the Chuckwalla Trailhead, but after six days and thousands of man-hours, the official search has been called off. He is presumed to be deceased.
It was supposed to be a girls' weekend in scenic St. George, Utah, that would included shopping, trying out the local cuisine, and participating in a breast cancer fund-raiser. The fact that one of the organizers of the fund-raising event, a local doctor, had disappeared two months before was not supposed to be Sadie's problem.
When Sadie learns that her friend Caro and Caro's cousin, Tess, have started a grassroots investigation into Dr. Hendrick's disappearance, Sadie graciously refuses to be a part of it. With her wedding to plan and her most recent case still fresh in her mind, Sadie is determined to leave this case to the police—until she meets the ex-wife of the missing man.
How could she not ask a few questions ... that lead to more questions ... that lead to a small town and even more questions? When the local police ask her to be their eyes and ears, Sadie can't help but jump in with both feet. Before she knows it, she is on the rocky road of another investigation, following a convoluted trail of good intentions, hidden motivations, and philanthropy turned big business.

Chapter 1
Bittersweet Anniversary
Following the two-month anniversary of Dr. Trenton Hendricks's disappearance during a hiking trip in the Paradise Point area, his wife, Anita Hendricks, has announced a memorial service to be held in his honor on Wednesday, June 22, at 2:00 at the Red Rock Foundation Hall.
Hendricks was last seen on Friday, April 8, when he set out on a backpacking trip, alone. "He is an experienced hiker," his wife said in an article that first ran in the April 13 edition of this paper. "And he often takes to the backcountry to clear his head following a busy work week."
When Hendricks failed to return from the hike, Mrs. Hendricks contacted Search and Rescue. Hendricks's Jeep Grand Cherokee was found at the Chuckwalla Trailhead the following day, but after six full days and thousands of man-hours, the official search was called off. Nothing belonging to Hendricks was discovered during the search. It is presumed that he is deceased. Hikers are asked to be vigilant as they take to the backcountry and report anything they might discover.
The memorial service will be held just two days prior to the Red Rock Cancer Walk, a Breast Cancer Awareness fund-raising event that Hendricks and his business partner, Dr. Jacob Waters, began nine years ago. Though rumored to be canceled this year due to Hendricks's disappearance, the event will take place as it has in previous years. When asked about the decision to continue with the event, Mrs. Hendricks said, "It is what Trenton would have wanted. He was passionate about his work and I take comfort in knowing that while the hole he has left in so many lives will never be filled, he left this world a better place than he found it." In lieu of flowers, it is requested that donations be made to the Red Rock Cancer Fund, which provides free breast cancer screenings to low-income women in Iron and Washington counties and grants to help cover treatment if patients are unable to cover the costs.
Community members are invited to join the fund-raiser this Friday, June 24, at 7:00 p.m. The 12-hour night-walk will begin at 7:30 p.m. and end with a pancake breakfast Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. Entry fee for the walk is $45 per person. Each participant will receive a T-shirt and a gift bag with contributions from local sponsors.
Sadie finished reading the article and looked up at Caro, her friend of the past year as well as the cousin of Sadie's fiancé, Pete. Sadie had just arrived at the hotel room in St. George, Utah, where she and Caro would stay as part of an extended girls' weekend. If she'd felt she could do so without hurting Caro's feelings, Sadie would likely have stayed home—she'd been gone for most of the month of June—but she loved Caro and didn't know when she'd have another opportunity to spend time with her like this. Despite Caro being at least ten years Sadie's junior—mid-forties to Sadie's late fifties—the two of them got along swimmingly, and Sadie enjoyed Caro's company very much.
Was it Sadie's imagination that Caro had been a little too excited to have her read this article as soon as they got into their room? And did Caro also seem expectantly interested in Sadie's response? "That's too bad about Dr. Hendricks," Sadie said, refolding the newspaper carefully and placing it beside her on the bed.
"It is too bad," Caro said from where she sat facing Sadie on the other double bed. "And weird, right?"
"Weird?" Sadie said, wondering at Caro's pointed interest. "Weird how?"
"He disappeared … and everyone seems to be assuming he's dead, but there's no proof. No one has found his pack, a shoe—nothing."
"Disappearances are always hard to deal with," Sadie said, ignoring what she feared was behind Caro's leading questions. Caro wanted to investigate; Sadie could feel it, but didn't share Caro's anticipation. She'd come to St. George to enjoy a few days with her good friend, not to investigate the disappearance of a man she'd never met.
"He was Tess's doctor, you know, when she found the lump—she said he was really great, and the foundation saved her life. She—and lots of his other patients—are really broken up over his disappearance."
Sadie put her hands in her lap and pondered a few seconds more before speaking. Caro's dark eyes were bright with excitement when Sadie looked up at her again. "Please tell me this isn't why we're here," Sadie said with a somewhat pleading smile. "Please tell me we came to attend some plays and go shopping and be a part of the walkathon with your cousin?"
"Of course that's why we came," Caro said, looking sheepish as she waved away Sadie's concern. "Tess and I have participated in this walkathon every year since she was first diagnosed, and I'm so excited that you're with us this year—you're going to love Tess." She looked at the newspaper lying beside Sadie on the bed. "And I didn't think much about Dr. H's disappearance, either, when Tess first brought me up to speed on it, but the more I read about it and talked with her, the more I thought that since we're here maybe we could, you know, look into things. Here, let me get the other articles for you—Tess gave me a whole stack when I got here Sunday."
Caro hurried to the dresser. Once her back was turned, Sadie let out a breath, trying to figure out how best to communicate that her level of interest in solving a mystery was at an all-time low right now. A glance at the diamond ring on her left hand initiated the familiar zing she felt every time she thought about what it represented. At the age of fifty-eight—after being a widow for more than twenty years and raising her now-adult children on her own—Sadie was engaged. Engaged! To be married!
July 26th had been chosen as the big day … and it was just over one month away—five weeks from today, in fact. It was probably a good thing that Sadie had plenty to do between now and then, this trip with Caro being one of the things that would fill the days of waiting until Sadie became Mrs. Peter Cunningham. For his part, Pete was right now in Cabo San Lucas enjoying a guys' week of deep sea fishing that offset her girls' weekend of shopping and pedicures. It was silly how much Sadie missed him, but she did. She saw the ring again and felt the zing once more. Would she ever get used to this?
Sadie blinked and looked up to meet Caro's bemused expression. "What?"
Caro was sitting on the bed across from Sadie again, holding a stack of papers in both hands—the articles Tess had given her, Sadie assumed. "I asked if Dr. H's disappearance seems strange to you. Have you dealt with anything like this in your other cases?"
"Not like this, no." She had been involved in a disappearance case before, though, and couldn't help thinking about it now that Caro had brought it up. It had been hard—and frightening at times—and yet the resolution had brought a lot of people peace. But she still didn't want to investigate this one. She wanted to order napkins with her and Pete's names on them and research honeymoon destinations. That the last few years of her life had been filled with a variety of investigations—murders, mostly, but a few others as well—wasn't something she wanted to dwell on right now.
Caro seemed disappointed in Sadie's response. When the two had worked an investigation in New Mexico several months ago, Caro had been a natural: detail-oriented, smart, and uninhibited about sneaking around. But Sadie's head was in a different place now—she had a wedding to plan, a married life to prepare for. And Pete, who had always served as a support system in the other cases she'd found herself involved in, wasn't available for her to bounce ideas off of—he was wrestling marlins and swordfish off the coast of Mexico. No, now was not a good time for Sadie to put on her Sherlock Holmes hat.
"I wonder," Caro said, with boldness coloring her words, "if you and I could look into things while we're here, ya know? Answer some of the as-yet-unanswered questions and figure out what happened to Dr. Hendricks. It could be fun!"
Fun? "Search and Rescue looked for six days, Caro." She thought of the expansive wilderness that surrounded this relatively small city—a bit of an oasis in the midst of magnificent red rock mountains, canyons, and plateaus. Even though this was Sadie's first visit to St. George, she knew about southern Utah's numerous national parks that protected the unique topography of the region. Though Sadie had hoped to go on a hike or two while they were here, it was crazy to think they might be able to find a missing hiker.
"I don't mean we should search the backcountry. I mean, why did he go out by himself, and why hasn't anyone found any of his gear, and what was his personal life like? Professional life? Was anyone angry with him? Did he have debts to hide from?
"St. George isn't a big city, and the people are nice. I bet we could gather a lot of information—find things the police know nothing about and figure out what really happened to Dr. H."
Sadie mentally tamped down the curiosity Caro's questions were stirring. Her own investigative instincts were never very far below the surface, and she repeated Caro's questions in her mind. Instead of giving in to the tingle and pull, however, she shook her head and tried to think of what Pete would say in response to this. "I'm sure the police investigation is exploring all those questions. And you're jumping to some pretty extreme conclusions with no evidence or circumstance. Did Tess ask you to do this?"
"Not really," Caro said, which meant Tess was a part of it. She'd gathered all the articles and given them to Caro for a reason. Did Tess know about Caro's foray into investigation work? Did she know about Sadie's?
"I'm happy to share my concerns with Tess, too," Sadie said, still channeling Pete's wisdom. "But if you're thinking of trying to investigate this, you'll have to count me out." She smiled in hopes of softening the impact of those words, though she meant every one of them. "Most people who know my history won't believe this, but I don't go looking for mysteries to solve—especially now. I have a wedding to plan and I'm still recovering from that cruise. I realize that his disappearance is difficult for the people who cared about Dr. Hendricks, but I'm really not interested in pursuing this, Caro. I'm sorry."
Looking at the pile of papers in her lap, Caro bit her lip, her disappointment impossible to ignore. Sadie felt bad shooting down Caro's hopes, but she sincerely meant what she'd said, so she refrained from apologizing again.
"What if … ," Caro said just as the silence was becoming awkward. Sadie waited for her to continue, but Caro seemed to be thinking hard about what to say, or, perhaps, whether to say it at all. Caro couldn't know what her delays did for Sadie's curiosity—it was getting more difficult to hold back. What if Dr. Hendricks did have a reason to disappear?
"What if what?" Sadie asked, still pulling tight on the reins of her interest.
Caro looked up from the articles she seemed to be holding tighter than before and met Sadie's eyes. "What if we already found something?"
Great plot!

Another fabulous installment of the Sadie Hoffmiller series. I missed Pete in this one, but I loved how Sadie just can resist getting caught up in an unsolved mystery even when she's on a "girls only" vacation. The further I got into the story, the more complex it became... definitely a rocky road of a plot!
A more sensible and confident Sadie takes the wheel steering the way to another exciting read.
by Sheila - reviewed on September 28, 2013
I have read the first nine books in the series, and I have really liked all of them. Main character Sadie Hoffmiller is someone I could be good friends with. After reading all of the books in the series, you do feel like you are back with an old friend. In Rocky Road, Sadie is a more restrained Sadie than we have ever seen before. It isn't too long after her adventure in Alaska and becoming engaged. Speaking of that, I truly missed the hunky, strong and silent type, Pete Cunningham in this story. I kept thinking he would show up, but he never did. I can't wait for the next book when he will return. Sadie was on her own, and performed her super sleuthing ways quite well. Sadie does have the help of her friend Caro(who wasn't too bad with her own investigative skills) and a new policeman, Officer Nielson, who shows a lot of faith and confidence in Sadie. I really liked this new male character. Tess, Caro's cousin, she wasn't to my liking and seemed very immature. The action is toned down in this book, but the mind games are there aplenty. There are also twists and turns that will continually lead you astray, just when you think you have figured things out, surprise you're wrong! The recipes in this book are off the charts, including the barbacoa pork salad that I love from Cafe Rio. As I've said before about this series, many of these books can be read alone, but I STRONGLY suggest you read the others first in the order written. You will understand Sadie better and how she ticks. I love this series and I'm always excited when the next one will be coming out. This book has more Christian themes than other Sadie books, and some violence, but nothing graphic. Rocky Road will take you on another fun ride, where a more sensible and confident Sadie takes the wheel steering the way to another exciting read.
Great Read!
by Melanie - reviewed on October 02, 2013
(4.5 stars) I read book 1 years ago but haven't read any since. What I enjoyed about this book was that I didn't feel like I was lost because I hadn't read books 2-9. There's obviously some history with Pete and it will be fun to go back and learn more about their story. This is a great mystery! I like Sadie--she has a lot of spunk and determination. She seems easy to get along with so it's kind of surprising that Tess doesn't warm up to her. I didn't care for Tess. She seemed like a hindrance and for someone that pushed for them to investigate, she wasn't focused on the task at hand. Caro was caught in the middle between a cousin and good friend. It was an interesting dynamic which created some tension. There are some twists and turns and the ending wasn't what I was expecting!
Another Great Culinary Mystery by Josi S. Kilpack
by Andrea - reviewed on September 29, 2013
Rocky Road is a great addition to the Sadie Hoffmiller Culinary Mysteries. When I first heard about this book I was excited that it was taking place in a familiar location (St. George, Utah). The story was very intriguing, and my suspicions were proved wrong with Kilpack's twists and turns. The resolution was a big surprise. It all made sense after it was revealed, but I'll admit I was a bit sad about it. The "bad guy" was so smooth. I was definitely taken in, and the idea of someone doing everything this person did is just sad (maybe the idea hit me harder being familiar with the community-yes, I know this is fiction, but the idea of this type of deceit was just sad). The recipes in this book sound so delicious! I can't wait to give them a try. And, the sneak peak of Josi's next book is such a great way to end this book. I am really looking forward to learning more about Sadie's extended family, and how the mystery presented will unfold. Rocky Road is clean with a great amount of suspense. I missed having Pete in this story, but he is mentioned enough throughout that it keeps those interested in their romance happy. If you are looking for an entertaining suspense that is a quick read, don't miss Rocky Road and the rest of the Sadie Hoffmiller Culinary Mysteries.

Sadie is back... doing what she does best... and we SO LOVE IT! Originally Sadie was just going on a girls'-out-weekend. They were suppose to go shopping, eating, and walking for the breast cancer fund-raiser. But her friends had other ideas.... Knowing Sadie had solved a few mystery cases, Caro and Tess had put together ideas on how to find out what really happened to Dr. Trenton Hendricks, a local doctor who has helped so many women get through breast cancer and the organizer of the cancer fund-raiser.... He has been missing for the past two months. Sadie wants nothing to do with it as she has the wedding to plan and she doesn't even know any of the people involved. Then she ends up helping with the luncheon for the funeral services and talking with the ex-wife. Seeing how the Doctor's disappearance has affected her, Sadie starts asking questions. One questions leads to another and soon Sadie finds herself right in the middle of the police investigation. Knowing she can possibly help she agrees to find some answers... But it will take her on a very "Rocky Road." SUCH A GOOD BOOK! A DEFINITE MUST READ! And of course there are recipes too! *Ol' Dad's Dutch Chicken *Ol' Dad's Dutch Potatoes *Maddox Rolls w/ Raspberry Butter *No-Brainer Fruit Salad *Mormon Muffins *Funeral Potatoes *Strawberry Pretzel Pie *Waffle Mania Waffles *Cafe Rio-Style Barbacoa Pork w/ Cilantro Lime Rice and Tomatillo Dressing *Fry Sauce *Dream Cookies *and Granny Annie's Rocky Road Fudge
She does it again!

CHICAGO — The Red Sox may be in Chicago on April 15, but their hearts are still back home.
On the one-year anniversary of the bombings at the Boston Marathon, several Red Sox talked about what the day meant to them.
"It feels like it was three years ago, as much as has gone on since then," said catcher David Ross, "yet it's fresh in your memory."
"Seeing [ceremonies] on TV brings us back to that day," Mike Napoli said. "The city's strong, and it came together. It's been a long year, but people are getting through it. It's something we'll never forget."
"It's critical we never forget the victims that have fallen," manager John Farrell said. "We're all proud to have been a part of the healing process — how small it might have been. It makes us even further proud to be part of an incredible city and a very strong community that became even stronger when we unified."
For players like Napoli and Ross, each in their first season as Red Sox in 2013, the event made them feel like Bostonians.
"I've never felt so close to a city so fast — and I've been with a lot of different ones," said Ross. "I feel like I'm from Boston and I have a connection with the city that will never go away. And that has nothing to do with the World Series.
"It's a cool day to look back and see how people kept coming together from every walk of life. It makes you love this city."

Jaycox Hurls Gem and Krieger Goes Yard in 2-0 Win Over ODU
May 6, 2007 Dan Jaycox had his best start of the season and Scott Krieger provided a clutch hit in the bottom of the sixth as the Patriots were able to defeat Old Dominion, 2-0 in seven innings in the opener of a doubleheader on Sunday. The loss dropped Old Dominion into a first-place tie atop the Colonial Athletic Association standings while Mason remains in fourth place. Jaycox allowed just one hit in six innings while walking two and striking out eight. In the bottom of the sixth, Mason, which had just three hits on the day, got a leadoff single from Spencer Wiggins, and after a sacrifice bunt by Chris Fournier moved the runner into scoring position, Krieger delivered with his 19th home run of the season, knocking a two-strike pitch over the wall in centerfield. Jordan Flasher pitched the ninth for Mason earning his 14th save of the season. Having already set the Mason single-season school record, Flasher now has the second-most productive season by a closer in CAA history. He got a big hand from Krieger who caught a long fly ball against the wall for the second out in the seventh. Despite two hits and an error in the inning, Flasher kept ODU off the board. Old Dominion's lone hit came in the first inning off the bat of Mike Zahm. Zahm nearly popped out in foul ground earlier in the at-bat but after the wind played havoc with the ball, it fell foul. He followed with a single and that was the only reason Jaycox didn't take the mound in the seventh looking for the third no-hitter in school history. Mason and Old Dominion will conclude the series with the second game of the doubleheader at approximately 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The Giving Pledge is an effort to help address societys most pressing problems by inviting the worlds wealthiest individuals and families to commit to giving more than half of their wealth to philanthropy or charitable causes either during their lifetime or in their will.
The Giving Pledge is specifically focused on billionaires or those who would be billionaires if not for their giving.
The idea takes its inspiration from efforts in the past and at present that encourage and recognize givers of all financial means and backgrounds. We are inspired by the example set by millions of people who give generously (and often at great personal sacrifice) to make the world a better place.
Initially, the focus was on the wealthiest families and individuals in the United States. Since there have been enthusiastic responses to the Giving Pledge around the world, the pledge now includes people from a mix of countries around the world.
We hope that a group coming forward to be explicit about their intentions for giving the majority of their wealth away will help:
We live in an exciting time for philanthropy where innovative approaches and advances in technology have redefined whats possible. Grassroots movements are proving every day how a single individual, regardless of wealth, can make a lasting impact on the lives of others.
The goal is to talk about giving in an open way and create an atmosphere that can draw more people into philanthropy.
Each family or individual who chooses to pledge will make this statement publicly, along with a statement explaining their decision to pledge.
At an annual event, those who take the pledge will come together to share ideas and learn from each other.
Throughout the year, there are opportunities for conversations that go deeper on the specific topics of interest to the group.
The pledge does not involve pooling money or supporting a particular set of causes or organizations. The pledge asks only that the individual give the majority of their wealth to philanthropic causes or charitable organizations either during their lifetime or in their will.
The pledge does not solicit support for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation or any other specific cause or organization. The pledge encourages signatories to find their own unique ways to give that inspire them personally and benefit society.
Not directly. Each person who pledges makes an individual decision about which particular causes or organizations they wish to support.
Each family will decide that for themselves. The pledge asks for a commitment of a majority of their wealth. Many have and will continue to exceed it.
The pledge is a moral commitment to give, not a legal contract.
The idea of the Giving Pledge came from the ideas and input generated in many great conversations that Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett had with other philanthropists in the U.S. and abroad.
Our hope is that the effort will continue for generations to come.

In a statement today, Oprah Winfrey responded to a Newsweek cover story which suggested that some of the non-traditional medical advice advocated on her show poses a danger to her legions of viewers. "For 23 years, my show has presented thousands of topics that reflect the human experience, including doctors' medical advice and personal health stories that have prompted conversations between our audience members and their health care providers," Winfrey said in the statement. "I trust the viewers, and I know that they are smart and discerning enough to seek out medical opinions to determine what may be best for them." It's been a rough week for Oprah. Yesterday, Forbes magazine announced that the queen of daytime lost her title of most powerful celebrity to Angelina Jolie.
Oprah responds to Newsweek cover story
Anyone who watches Oprah should get their head checked. She's so fake.
It's about time someone exposes her for hypocrisy.
This is beyond rediculous. Oprah is a very smart woman and she has helped thousands perhaps millions of people with the knowledge that she presents on her show. Any intelligent person can figure out or investigate what is right for them. The reason she is being attached is simple – The FDA and the pharmacutacal and insurance companies are billion dollar businesses that want to keep alot of cures and homeopathic treatments under wraps because they want control over what kind of treatments they want to keep the masses on. Now since the invention of the internet and curageous women like Oprah and Suzanne Summers are getting the real information out there and these companies don't like that. Well like it or not the real truths are coming out. Recently I found out that the flu shot has mercury in it and it causes alzheimers and what really prevents the flu besides a healthy immune system is Vitamin D3 (which 80% of people are deficient in and all the Omega's. Look it all up on the internet.
hummmm! oprah is just to fake to a fault. pls be true to your viewers
Horrible that Newsweek is so manipulated by the big companies. They should be the ones doing more investigative reporting and present different points of views. Just because you might find some alternative cures that work for something doesn't mean you are against western medicine. Very tabloid like cover.
I stopped listening to her when she started cheerleading for Barack Obama. Stay nuetral lady – its tiring getting your wants & needs shoved down our throats.
Can could her celebrity interviews be any less soft? -
Buffy Freak
She had Kirstie Alley on promoting her own weight loss program. Has anyone SEEN how huge Kirstie Alley is? She doesn't know anything about weight loss but you know Oprah's trained seal audience will go otu and buy it.
hey Oprah-WAH! She really has some sort of hypnotic power. Anyone that can convince people to watch Dr.Phil is doling out the Kool Aid
Stay neutral and she "shoves stuff down our throats" ummm last I remembered her show is called The Oprah Winfrey Show and she can do whatever she wants to do on her show. If you don't like it I'm sure you know how to operate a remote control.
Like she said she trusts her viewers to make their own decisions. -
Thank you, Newsweek! Finally! For years Oprah has been promoting wacky health remedies- and giving Jenny Mcarthy an unchallenged platform to spout her crazy. Hopefully (but I doubt it) Oprah will learn from this and start having actual doctors and real professionals featured on her show- not given five minute segments so she can talk about supplements or The Secret.
I am so glad someone has finally called her out. I totally agree that her audience is like a trained seal. It isn't that I'm not pro-alternate healing solutions I just think that Oprah has gotten WAY to medical this year. She isn't a doctor and one shouldn't do ANYTHING without talking to a doctor first. By the way, I love how someone on this board just professed to know more then the medical community from internet information. Seriously? Sure dude, I'm gonna take your advice about not getting vaccinated.
If you or a loved one has ever been seriously ill, you know that the medical community doesn't know everything. Topics on oprah at least offer other opinions – and from the shows i've seen, they are presented as opinions.
Oprah is exploitive, incendiary and nowhere near as bright as she thinks. She lacks rigourous critical thinking skills and is vulnerable to believing pop-culture nonsense – which she then rams down the throat of her lemming audience. I loathe her.

These brownish / gray-ish mushrooms are popping up in my garden bed? Is this a sign of fertility, nutrient imbalance, or is it some sort of bad omen? I do add compost tea on a regular basis. Other than manure & worm castings, I also add about a cup of mushroom compost in the tea bag. But even when I don't use the mushroom compost, I still get them. Only my second year of organic gardening so please take it easy on me (lol)... |
Follow-Up Postings:
When I see mushrooms popping up somewhere, usually in the grass where a stump is rotting, it happens when the soil it wet. I don't think they indicate anything other than wetness and usually rotting wood. Perhaps you have introduced mushrooms sprores from the compost. |
- Posted by lazygardens PhxAZ%3A Sunset 13 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 13:33
Not a problem. Just pull them up and toss them on the dirt to decay. Will not harm your plants. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 14:27
Mushrooms are just the fruiting bodies of various fungal organisms. And fungal organisms are present in all soils. The presence of mushrooms just indicates some ongoing organic matter decomposition (doesn't have to be wood) and the right combo of temperature and moisture. 95% of the mushrooms that appear in soil are harmless. It's the ones that are not very obvious that can cause problems :-) |
- Posted by greenepastures 9 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 19:47
Well there's lots of OM in the area where I've seen them. OK..what a relief.......and yes...my soil is usually on the moist side and decently mulched. so just pull them up and allow them to decompose.....ok....got it... |
You don't even need to pull them up. Just let them deliquesce on the spot. They'll be gone petty quickly. As gardengal48 said, the thing you can see is just the fruiting body, the main part of the organism is in the soil and pulling up the toadstool has no effect on it. |
Pull them up and throw them out ? ? ? Where's the fun in that ? They are not hurting anything and just don't last all that long. Your other option is to enjoy them. Watch the life process they go through, learn to identify them or not, but I've found I now can mark the parts of each season by which of my various mushrooms pop up and disappear. I've even gone to the extreme of picking up tiny starts of any new mushroom that has not already set up shop in my garden. Many then reappear forever. Others don't happen to love what I'm providing and don't come back the next year. You'll know when you've gone too far. If you look forward to your patch of dog vomit slime appearing each year, to watch it's whole process, well.... ;) |
- Posted by greenepastures 9 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 10, 14 at 8:06
Ohhhh....OK...so they'll remain in the bed then. Mind you...they are not thick mushrooms...in fact they are slim and spindly and quite delicate to the touch... On another note.... I read somewhere that mushrooms can be used as an inoculant to assist in the breakdown of OM, particularly wood chips...any insights? |
- Posted by toxcrusadr 5 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 10, 14 at 13:24
Yes they can. The initial decomposition of wood is generally a fungal process, which breaks up the cells and fibers, after which bacteria can continue the process. Not all fungi are wood digesters but many are. What you have there are referred to by mushroomers as 'LBMs' or 'little brown mushrooms'. Some are edible, but there are so many, and some of them are very toxic, that they are not the best category to look for good eats. :-] |
It is very rare that you need to inoculate organic matter to cause it to decompose. Unless you are trying for a specific decomposition product, or maybe your desired goal is the decomposer itself. In other words, if you want to make beer, bread, yogurt, cheese or miso, you should inoculate. If you want to grow specific mushrooms, then you have to inoculate with the right spores. And you may even need to sterilize first to kill of competing spores and bacteria. But if you just want organic matter to decompose, you don't need to inoculate it. The decomposers are out there already just waiting. --McKenzie |

Why does Beowulf travel to the land of the Danes?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Beowulf travels to the land of the Danes, Hrothgar's land, because the stories of Grendel's attacks have spread. Grendel has been attacking Heorot for 12 years and so the word has reached the land of the Geats - Beowulf's land. Beowulf's father, Edgetho, had once fought alongside Hrothgar and Hrothgar had saved Edgetho. Beowulf, therefore, feels somewhat in debt to Hrothgar. This information comes to light when Beowulf arrives in the land of the Danes (approximately ll. 185-285). He also tells Unferth and some of the other Danes who are less thrilled to see Beowulf arrive that the Danes don't seem to be fighting back for themselves. Later, we find out that Beowulf wanted to make a name for himself so fighting and defeating a monster like Grendel would fulfill that.

I'm visiting Austin for a few days and I just thought I'd check and see if there is anyone growing cut flowers nearby that I might visit and chat with about this shared interest. Could be a home gardener or a small scale farmer. I'd be most interested in seeing unusual plants, perhaps things that grow uniquely well in this region. I'm staying on Post Road in Austin, so the closer to there the better. I'm tempted to go out to the Arnosky's farm but it is about an hours drive and I doubt that I will get there.

My employer posted a Senior Product Manager position for Sage 300 & CRM this week. Product Management is an area of the business that has always fascinated me. Although Product Managers (PM) have a lot of influence at Sage they have very little power to make things happen. Expectations remain high though to deliver results! Their job is even more challenging due to the matrix organization at Sage. There are a lot of stakeholders to manage with different and often conflicting opinions in multiple locations. It can be challenging to make decisions in a timely manner. This can negatively impact performance in the product delivery teams.
I have read a few books on Product Management & Strategic Alliances in the past year. I am currently reading "Software Product Management Essentials". It is above average of a fairly mediocre list of books on the topic. One section I found interesting was the authors thoughts on the 7 habits of highly effective product managers. The list is worth sharing.
- Great PM's know their product but also their limits: I definitely agree with this one. PM's who know the product have far more credibility with the folks in R&D if they know the product. That said nothing infuriates R&D more when PM's are pontificating on something they know nothing about. It is important clearly communicate the requirements and market\customer needs. If PM's have evidence\data to support their perspective it is important to share it. Then it is time to let the experts in their respective fields UCD\BA\DEV\QA\UA do what they do best. In a nutshell PM identifies the right product\feature for the market. The experts make sure the product is built right!
- A great PM listens first: Simon Covey's timeless advice in the 7 habits of highly effective people comes to mind. Seek first to understand then be understood. It is important to understand your various stakeholders needs so you can ask good questions. PM's message resonates far more when it is tailored to their respective audiences.
- Great PM's are curious: The ability to continue to ask why to uncover the real issue is invaluable. The best PM's I have seen never settle for the obvious answer and strive to truly understand the problem to be solved.
- Great PM's are decisive: Strong PM's are willing to defend and debate their decisions. PM's are often challenged publicly. It is important to encourage people to share their ideas and opinions with you and remain assertive and confident at the same time. Sometimes data is available to help guide the decision. Many times (more often than most organizations care to admit) it is not. If new information comes along that justifies a course correction so be it. In the interests of time a decision is often required quickly.
- Great PM's are responsive: Once a PM loses respect in an organization it is very challenging to regain it. The PM's with the best reputations I know are very hard workers. They are diligent about managing expectations and actively engaged with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
- Great PM's are excellent communicators: The most credible PM's are typically the best presenters. They tailor their message for their audience and simplify the data with easily understand graphs. PM's need to inspire their colleagues to achieve their vision for the product. People want to believe their contribution counts in something important and tangible.
- Great PM's are passionate: Marcus Buckingham often points out in his writings that your strengths maximized become a weakness. Passion is a great example of this. Why should their stakeholder's care if the PM is not passionate about their product? That said the ability to get to win-win situations especially in a matrix organization requires a PM to keep a cool head while others resist or even block their initiatives.
Does anyone out there have other comments on what makes a great PM? If you are considering a switch to PM a friend of mine shared the following presentation. I highly recommend it. http://www.slideshare.net/guestfbb385/shreyas-doshi-how-to-get-that-next-pm-job-svpma-march-2010?from=share_email

Thank you to all of the faculty, housestaff, and program coordinators who helped to make the two weeks run smoothly. We will receive our accreditation information sometime in October 2011.
Many thanks to everyone who participated in the 2011 College Bowl. With over 40 individuals in attendance, it was a great success! And for those of you who were not able to join...I'm sure you've been waiting to hear who took home the trophy! By the slimmest of margins ($10,501 to $10,500), the PGY III-IVs edged out the interns (who demonstrated great spirit and enthusiasm in what was nearly an unbelievable upset!). The PGY 2s, although few in number, certainly had a terrific late run in Double Jeopardy and had a respectable third place finish ($9649). A special thanks to former College Bowl Winner (and guitarist for the band Genetic Drift) Dr. Pfeifer for being the celebrity judge....we had to turn to him early and often for difficult rulings on questionably constructed questions and nearly correct answers. Again, thanks to all for coming out and making it a successful 2011 College Bowl. The Chiefs
The Medical College's recent eight week Wellness campaign was a great success! The three Department of Medicine teams finished in the top 30. Below please find final data:
• Total weight lost = 1,607.46 lbs • Average lost per person = 2.7 • Total participants (weight loss) = 600 • Most individual pounds lost = 28.5 • Highest individual percentage of weight lost = 11.4% Total • 1196 total participants • Employees averaged 276 minutes (a little over 4 hours) of exercise per week during the physical activity portion of the campaign. • The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone get at least 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days per week. During the campaign MCW employees more than doubled that amount. • 97 different divisions/departments participated (includes off site clinics/locations).
Also, if you're interested and haven't done so already, MCW Wellness is offering a free and confidential Health Risk Assessment (HRA). Biometric screenings start April 6th and continue through the month of April. If you're interested in participating, please visit the link below to learn more. The online questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and the biometric screening appointment takes approximately 15 minutes.
The goal of the HRA is to raise each participant's awareness of their own health and identify any potential health risks they may face. Risk detection is the first step in preventing disease and illness. Interra Health, an independent wellness company, will be conducting the HRA on behalf of MCW. All individual results will go directly to Interra Health and will never be seen by an MCW representative.
Participants who complete the HRA and BioScreen will receive a free 1GB USB Flash Drive and the book, "Self Care Essentials – A Guide to Living Well". Employees will also have their name entered into a drawing for one of four gifts: a $1,000 gift certificate for Southwest Airlines tickets, one of two one-year memberships to the Wisconsin Athletic Club, or a bicycle. A drawing for these items will be conducted in May, 2011. Employees will have the option to take the cash equivalent in lieu of the prize. All prizes will be subject to any applicable taxes.

I was surfing around the website and thought I saw something about a new game coming out, that involves each player having a load of different shaped dice. Apparently the dice represent troops in the game, and each player wage a battle with the dice they have. It sounded like a game called Dragon Dice that was released a long time ago by TSR.
Can anyone point me in the direction to get more info about this new game by FFG? I can't remember the name, and can't find anything now.

The Reds will be unveiling a new statue at Great American Ball Park later this year in honor of Hall-of-Fame Second Baseman Joe Morgan. Sculptor Tom Tsuchiya is putting the finishing touches on it this week at his studio.
If you've been to the ballpark, you're already familiar with Tsuchiya's work. He created the statues of Ted Kluszewski, Frank Robinson, Ernie Lombardi, Joe Nuxhall and Johnny Bench. He's also the artist for several statues at Xavier University, including the one of the Musketeer d'Artagnan, and the new Jesus statue at Solid Rock Church in Monroe.

CSUMB art students get hands-on at museum
San Francisco artist Andrew Schoultz has created a mural and a site-specific installation at the Monterey Museum of Art, with help from a trio of CSU Monterey Bay art students.
His work, on display at the museum's La Mirada facility through Nov. 17, is based on local histories of Monterey.
For years, the university's Visual and Public Art Department and the museum have collaborated on projects, and countless students have done internships there. Last spring, Professor Johanna Poethig recruited Teryn Thomason and Jorge Amezcua from her painting and mural class to help with Schoultz's exhibit. The third student, Devin Johnson, took a more indirect route: he relied on old-fashioned perseverance.
After learning when the artist would be at the museum, Johnson vowed to show up at 8:30 every morning until he caught someone's attention. It didn't take long. A staff member was quick to respond to his offer of help and he went to work in late June.
All three students were pleased to have the opportunity.
"This is the first internship I've had," Thomason said. "Professor Poethig is a wonderful mentor and has been instrumental in giving me opportunities within the art community here in Monterey."
Thomason assisted Schoultz in setting up his pieces of art. "Most of the work I did was on painting walls with brick décor, and smaller layers of brick work on the sides of mural panels within the largest room of the museum," she said.
She also filled in large patches of off-white color to sections of the mural that Schoultz then filled in.
Amezcua had worked on large-scale murals before, but "being able to work with an artist like Andrew was a very motivating experience," he said. "I have admired his work, especially his murals in San Francisco, so being able to put a face to the work was surreal."
His part of the project involved prep materials for the artist and adding base layers of paint to large-scale pieces.
Among other tasks, Johnson painted in parts of the mural that Schoultz had outlined on the wall.
It was a learning experience for all of them.
"It's always enriching being exposed to different types of art and different techniques," Thomason said.
"An important thing I realized was about the inner workings and business of the art world," Johnson said.
Schoultz's work is part of the museum's In Process series of exhibitions that focus on work by contemporary artists and frequently include ephemeral, site-specific installations. In Process charts the most current developments in the field of contemporary art by championing the work of emerging and mid-career artists.

This Corallo bed is an interesting design made out of even more interesting materials and would be a statement piece of furniture in any bedroom.
Beds are one piece of furniture I find to be pretty generic, but the latest design by Fernando and Umberto of Brazil is anything but ordinary. The Corallo bed is made of tangled gold wire and mashed up steel to created a finalized product that almost looks like rubbish.
However this bed is far from trash. Looking at it more closely you can see the intricate detail and fine materials that make up this elegant place to lay your head. The fact that it is not made of a solid substance makes it appear as if it is less intrusive, which makes this bed the perfect fit for smaller spaces.

Toward a Thomist Methodology
DescriptionChallenges the fundamental assumption of traditional Thomism that the esse/essence distinction drawn by St. Thomas Aquinas lies within the domain of philosophy (nature) rather than theology (grace), since Thomas himself supposed the substantial correlation of esse and essence to be natural, thereby relegating grace to the role of accident.
