Questions on Bulgarian Yogurt Starter
- From RobertH at 3/27/2014 10:03 PM
- Can you freeze a portion of the Bulgarian yogurt and use it as a starter at a later date? Thanks.
- A small amount of yogurt can be frozen for 2-3 weeks, with a 70% chance of viability. Because the bacteria will degrade over time, we recommend freezing 3 to 4 times the amount you will require to make a new batch and limiting freezing to no more than a few weeks.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From V at 10/30/2013 10:10 PM
- Can the activation of a Bulgarian starter take longer than 12 hours? What is the maximum number of hours recommended to incubate the starter culture?
- 12 hours is the maximum time to allow your starter batch to culture. Longer culturing times can damage the bacteria.
Occasionally we see a starter batch not set. If the yogurt is still runny after 12 hours, but smells pleasant, allow it to cool for 2 hours and then refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Use this yogurt to start your second batch according to the package instructions. This batch should set beautifully. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Zach at 10/14/2013 3:51 PM
- Am I able to make this yogurt in the oven just by having the oven light on and the oven door closed? Or do I need to set a temperature on the oven. Thanks!
- If your oven with the light on is able to maintain 110ºF or if you have a setting that goes as low as 110ºF on your oven, you can certainly use that. We recommend confirming temperature whenever culturing. You can do that by placing a jar of 110ºF water for the normal culturing period to see if it holds the correct temperature.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Alisha at 5/15/2013 11:27 AM
- Do you only use the starter mix to make more yogurt or can you eat it too? Also can you freeze the starter to use later?
- You use the starter culture to make your pasteurized dairy "mother" culture batch...you will reserve part of her to make a new mother within 7 days (so you can have ongoing yogurt making capabilities without having to continually buy a new culture) and the rest to make your yogurt you'll consume in the upcoming week. As long as you have saved a portion of the mother to make a new mother, the rest can certainly be consumed.
Freezing the starter can be done for 2-3 weeks, but the viability will be about 70%. The sooner you use the starter, the better. The longer it sits in the freezer the less likely you will be able to self-perpetuate it. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From ASH at 4/27/2013 11:55 PM
- I'd like to know how long I can keep the mother batch in the fridge.
- The mother culture, also known as the pasteurized dairy mother culture, will remain viable for reculturing in the refrigerator for up to one week. It should be edible for approximately a month.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Penelope at 4/23/2013 8:16 PM
- Contemplating whether to make my own yogurt, but I am a little confused about one detail: how long can I keep part of the "mother batch" to continue making more yogurt? Will it spoil after 3 weeks, therefore requiring me start from scratch (a new starter kit)?
Thank you kindly! - The mother batch, also known as the pasteurized dairy mother culture, is viable for culturing for about 7 days. So you need to make a pasteurized dairy new mother culture once a week. You don't need to buy more culture, you can keep reculturing what you have.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- Contemplating whether to make my own yogurt, but I am a little confused about one detail: how long can I keep part of the "mother batch" to continue making more yogurt? Will it spoil after 3 weeks, therefore requiring me start from scratch (a new starter kit)?
- From Kathy at 1/21/2013 12:22 AM
- Two questions:
1. Following up on Sean's question regarding Bulgarian vs Greek cultures that contain the same bacteria in different ratios....If, for example, I order Bulgarian starter and perpetuate the culture, couldn't the ratio of bacterial strains in my mother culture drift over time? (The answer posted seemed to pertain to operations in your facility, not what might happen at home.)
2. Why can't direct-set starters be perpetuated? As far as I know, bacteria will replicate indefinitely as long as the health of the culture is maintained, and proper growth media is supplied (which one is doing, presumably). So what goes wrong? Do some bacterial strains in the mixture outcompete others? - It is possible that the bacteria in your yogurt will change, depending on what is in the air in your home or what you have culturing nearby. However, as long as you take care when culturing, re-culture within 7 days, and keep different yogurt varieties and other fermenting foods separate, your yogurt bacteria should remain true.
Direct-set starters contain different bacteria strains from reusable heirloom starters. The bacteria in each determine the yogurt's characteristics and whether it will re-culture indefinitely or not. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- Two questions:
- From Christine at 12/14/2012 1:04 PM
- Can I freeze some of the yogurt to use as a future starter? My family is not going through it fast enough right now and I am afraid the yogurt will go bad before I make a new batch.
- You can freeze the pasteurized dairy mother starter, but it will only stay viable for about 2-3 weeks.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Spencer at 9/2/2012 4:10 PM
- My Bulgarian Yogurt Starter hasn't been refrigerated for several weeks. Think the cultures have a chance? They've been sitting at room temperature for over a month (oops).
- The Bulgarian Yogurt Starter will normally only last 3 to 4 weeks at room temperature. If it has been in a fairly cool place, go ahead and give it a try.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Cathy at 8/13/2012 4:27 PM
- How many "packets" of yogurt starter are in one box?
- Each box contains 2 packets of yogurt starter. Reserve the second packet in your fridge until you are certain your first batch of yogurt has cultured properly. Keep the second packet in the freezer as a back-up in case your original culture needs to be replaced or if you wish to take an extended break from yogurt making.
One packet of yogurt culture can be used to make unlimited amounts of homemade yogurt as it can be re-cultured by reserving a small amount of yogurt from the current batch to inoculate the next batch of homemade yogurt. With care, this yogurt culture can be used to make homemade yogurt indefinitely. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- Great results over time Review by Abdi
Value Quality Price This has produced delicious yogurt for us using a yogurt maker. Disclaimer: The only thing I can compare it to is that we first tried using a store-bought yogurt as starter; we haven't tried other cultures, but this yielded MUCH better tasting yogurt than the store-bought brand. I should note that it took a couple of batches to "get going"; I'm not sure whether we were getting the hang of it or the culture was getting "broken in," but the first couple of batches had a thinner consistency and were more prone to separation, and then from the third batch on the results were impeccable.

- great money saver! Review by culturinginTexas
Value Quality Price I love this product! I have been using it for about a month and it is a very great yogurt culture. Everyone in my family loves the taste of the yogurt, and best of all, we are saving tons of money. We live in a rural community and organic plain whole milk yogurt is hard to find. Even when we go to the city, it is typically 3.50/quart. With this culture we are able to make it for 1.75/quart. Thanks so much! I heartily recommend this product!

Value Quality Price I love this yogurt been making it every week......creamy and wonderful....with the exception of the first batch..... but the instructions said it might not set as well...... every batch since has been creamy and wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! Plan on trying the Greek Yogurt some time soon!!!!!!!!!!

Value Quality Price This culture is 100% better than the store brand. My yogurt was really runny but this culture gave creamy great tasting firm yogurt.

- Excellent culture Review by Maria
Value Quality Price I recently made my first batch of the heirloom Bulgarian yogurt from this starter, and it turned out perfectly). It was easy to make from the directions included, but I also benefited from consulting with the chat service on this site, as I was using raw milk and wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly. I heated my raw milk to 180 and cooled to 115, and cultured the yogurt in my gas oven with the pilot light. It was thick and creamy in 5 hours, and has a delicious flavor and consistency. It will be hard to choose which I like better, now, Greek or Bulgarian. Guess I will just have to alternate between the two!

- Customer service rocks Review by gari
Value Quality Price Anita in customer service supported me through my initial activating, which I thought wouldn't culture [due to operator error of impatience, lack of ability to follow instructions + not warm enough]. It did set up, just took longer. Since then consistently rich and delicious. Wanting to limit carbs, I use half&half, so this is about the richest yogurt imaginable. I tried using full cream and there was a lot of separation, so a certain amount of lactose is needed. My Cuisinart slow cooker happens to keep a constant temperature of 110 degrees on WARM. How convenient is that?

- First time's a charm! Review by Willow
Value Quality Price I had never made yogurt before--nor had I ever been around anyone who did--but this was super easy (even without a yogurt maker--which is totally unnecessary actually). My husband and I like the flavor of the yogurt (I used whole, raw milk). Every time my husband has some, he says, "That is some GOOD yogurt!" Love how fresh it is. Set up nicely.

- Love this yogurt culture! Review by Beth
Value Quality Price I am glad I finally bought yogurt culture from Cultures for Health. The directions are detailed and helpful. I have tried making yogurt in the past with other cultures, but with no lasting success! I appreciate the ebooks which were especially helpful with some minor questions I had. I look forward to trying Kefir next as well as different varieties of yogurt cultures.

- Fantastic starter Review by cchris
Value Quality Price When I first got this starter, I somehow missed the 1 quart milk part, so I dumped the package into almost 2 quarts of non-homogenized organic free-range whole milk. I cultured it for 24 hours at around 105 F (have to do that so that so no lactose is left). It set beautifully and tasted great. Since then I've been making yogurt every few days, always with great results.
Our favorite smoothie recipe right now: 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 very ripe banana (brown spots), a few pieces of pineapple and sometimes a little honey.

- Love this yogurt, firm, dependable, the best! Review by NJAYNES
Value Quality Price Bought this starter last year and used it easily for months, then allowed it to go bad by neglect for awhile. Now that Mom is nearby, I bought this starter again to make for us. She is 89 and still going strong! This is GOOD yogurt!

- Best yoghurt starter I've found! Review by Purplesprite
Value Quality Price This Bulgarian starter makes the best yoghurt! Ever since I moved to the US a decade ago I have missed 'proper' yoghurt. The yoghurt I can make with this starter is better then any of the very expensive gourmet yoghurts in stores. I have friends who ask to taste my yoghurt every time they come over!
I had similar experiences with activating the starter and was concerned about how it would turn out. But turn out it did! And every batch seems to get better and better. It is mild, with a definite cultured/yoghurt taste, rich, and thick. I use small jars in the Euro cuisine yoghurt maker. And I usually (though not always) pour off some of the whey that rises to the top.
This yoghurt is absolutely delicious!(Posted on 11/16/2014)
- *Adore* this starter. Review by Heather
Value Quality Price The Bulgarian yogurt starter is, in a word: phenomenal. This was my first attempt at making yogurt, and I'm obsessed.
My starter batch, as is noted as a possibility in the FAQs, didn't fully set up, but my subsequent batches using that starter batch have been absolutely gorgeous. The flavor of the Bulgarian is like a tangy ice cream. It's so good. I just want to make buckets and buckets of it each week.
The process is simple as long as you have a food thermometer and a way to incubate your yogurt. Once you've set your appropriately heated and cooled milk of choice with the starter mixed in it to incubate it's hands-off. I usually set mine to incubate just before I go to bed and then it's all done in the morning.
This product is fantastic. I'm so glad I took a leap and tried it.(Posted on 11/12/2014)
- Great Product! Review by Arlene
Value Quality Price I have tried making yogurt in the past without much success. I have a simple yogurt maker and thought I would give it another try. I saw your product on Pinterest while searching recipes. I was skeptical, but your instructions and the process was quite simple. My biggest concern was getting a suitable milk to use. I live in MD., where it is illegal to sell raw milk. I was able to find milk at my local grocery store that was cheap and worked just fine. I am on my forth batch on the first packet and each time is better than the last. I can now use yogurt all the time without breaking my budget. Plus, it tastes so much better in texture and taste. Your info on your website is very helpful. Thanks!

- Great product! Review by Arlene
Value Quality Price I have tried to make yogurt in the past without much success. I have a simple yogurt making machine and just wanted to try it again. I saw your products on Pinterest while looking for some recipes and it sounded like I should try again. The biggest obstacle seemed to be getting the right type of milk. I can't get raw milk, live in MD., illegal to sell it, so I found alternatives right at my grocery store. I was skeptical, but tried it. It came out great. I am on my fourth batch from the 1st packet and each time is better than the time before. The taste and texture is far superior to anything store bought, even organic ones. I use it in everything and it saves me a bundle. I still have the other packet in the freezer. Would definitely buy again. Easy to make, saves me money, use it more often and your info on your site is VERY helpful. Thanks!

- Was scared to begin, but now love my yogurt! Review by Cindy
Value Quality Price I chose Bulgarian yogurt starter, because I wanted to make as close to store bought, as possible. I have made 2 batches with Kalona whole milk. It is the closest to RAW milk and low temperature pasteurized. When my chili is cooled, I top it off with the fresh yogurt, Yum. I mix Xylotol and some strawberries/or granola, and mom thinks she has pudding!

- Good culture Review by toddcady
Value Quality Price Reading these reviews should be a first stop for everyone buying the culture. First time making it was much too sour. It took 5 hours to set using Organic Whole Pasturized milk, then the next time came out more like Kefir. When the culture didn't set the third time, I refrigerated it, then warmed it back up and it set. A little grainy. I tried switching to a local farmers whole milk, but it wasn't homogenized, and I did end up with hard, almost crystallized bits in and amongst the rest of the yogurt. Switching back to the first brand has resulted in creamy, not as sour yogurt that sets well. I've got one starter packet remaining, and I hope it is good when I need it. Love the yogurt! Making dips, smoothies, dressings and desserts with it.

Value Quality Price I like this yoghurt very much. It is rich and creamy on the palate and is more subtle, more complex, than commercial yoghurts.
(Posted on 10/25/2014)
- EXCELLENT Yogurt Review by Phil
Value Quality Price I have made yogurt off and on since the mid-70's. I would purchase store bought plain yogurt and make a couple of batches. However, I was never satisfied with the results.
Then I made the move to purchase starter from Cultures for Health. Right from the first batch, the yogurt came out creamy and delicious. Now, my wife and I enjoy yogurt every day and I have to make sure that I make another batch every few days so we don't run out!(Posted on 10/24/2014)
- Didn't work Review by A.E.
Value Quality Price I have made yogurt using other starters but this is the first time using the Bulgarian yogurt starter. I was very disappointed. The yogurt never "set", as the package stated might happen, but additionally, there was no flavor at all. It didn't seem to have cultured. I started checking for it to set after about 5 hours, and continued checking every few hours until 12 hours, with no results.
Response from CFH: Please contact customer support for troubleshooting advice before discarding product. Many cultures can be saved with minor adjustments.(Posted on 10/20/2014)
- Even yogurt-haters love this! Review by Jessica
Value Quality Price I used this yogurt starter to make yogurt in my Instant Pot pressure cooker (there is a yogurt setting). The yogurt was super easy to make and it tasted wonderful. The texture is creamy and not as firm as store bought yogurt; I just strained it through cheesecloth and it was perfect. The taste is slightly sour, but not too much. My husband who hates yogurt will actually eat this! I just add some homemade jam and both he and my baby will eat it by the gallons (literally, I use 1-2 gallons of milk per week just for yogurt).
I highly recommend this yogurt!(Posted on 10/12/2014)

Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms
The Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms (BCCM) is a Belgian government funded consortium of four scientific institutions, who manage and exploit a collection of fungi, bacteria and plasmids. The consortium manages a collection of 47,500 strains of bacteria, filamentous and yeast fungi and 950 plasmids.
The BCCM was founded in 1983 by combining the mycological collections of the Mycology Laboratory of the Scientific Institute of Public Health (BCCM/IHEM) and the Université Catholique de Louvain (BCCM/MUCL) with the bacterial collection of the Laboratory for Microbiology of the Faculty of Sciences of Ghent University (BCCM/LMG). In 1990 the plasmid collection of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Ghent University was added to the consortium (BCCM/LMBP).

DEFINITION of 'Income Exclusion Rule'
A rule that sets aside certain types of income as nontaxable. There are many types of income that qualify under this rule, such as life insurance death benefit proceeds, child support, welfare and municipal bond income. Income that is excluded is not reported anywhere on Form 1040.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Income Exclusion Rule'
Generally, there is no limit to the amount of this type of income that can be received. One exception is municipal bond interest, which may be counted back as an alternative minimum tax preference item. Income that is excluded from taxation is generally accorded this status as a measure of relief for the recipient (or else as the result of powerful lobbying, as is the case with life insurance.)

The compromise extension of the Bush tax cuts illustrates how hidebound the leaders of both parties have been, and how sclerotic the whole tax discussion has become. These tax cuts did avoid a serious recession after the terrorist attacks of 2001, and should never have been set up to expire as they were, like a bent tree-branch, snapping on a long-announced date back to a sharply higher rate of tax in several areas, including succession duties. The administration should never have gotten into the silly chicken game of calling them unjust breaks for the rich and should never have imagined that increasing taxes on the incomes of anyone during a recession is justifiable fiscal policy. And the Republican leadership, apart from the very promising Paul Ryan, is not to be congratulated for failing to produce any policy suggestions except an endless caterwauling for retention of a tax-cut plan that was designed for a specific emergency nine years ago.
The approaching expiry date and the midterm elections were an opportunity for a serious discussion — or, as the current political cliché decrees, "a national conversation" — about taxes, the budgetary and current-account deficits, unemployment, and the recession. The political class funked it, as it has funked everything except welfare reform in the last 20 years. Just as it fumbled abortion into the incapable arms of the judiciary, ignored immigration until it was almost impossible to deal with it rationally, allowed the education and justice systems to become a national disgrace, did nothing about a hideously expensive and very uneven health-care system until finally making things worse with Obamacare, ignored income disparities and the economy generally, the administration and the Congress said little and did less that was useful or even sensible about long-term remedies for the worst economic challenge in more than 70 years.
Tax policy should be designed to stimulate economic growth and finance the necessary activities of the government, and, occasionally, to assist in the natural and desirable evolution of the economy, especially toward higher productivity; an optimal ratio of savings, investment, and consumption; and the economically rational reduction of poverty. Let me take up a number of opinions that have previously been expressed in these columns, and add some new ones: Taxes should be increased on activities it is desirable to reduce, as they have been on the consumption of tobacco, and reduced on activities the national interest seeks to amplify. Thus, taxes on elective energy consumption beyond comfortable norms of heating and air conditioning should be increased. (There should also be incentives for alternative forms of energy, especially natural gas and nuclear power, and specifically a gasoline-tax increase, with rebates for those who earn their income from gasoline consumption, such as taxi companies.) There should also be taxes on legal bills, health-care benefits that are provided in unusual measures of choice and quality by employers, and most financial transactions — especially any fees and windfalls to merchant banks, financial arrangers, and assorted categories of asset-strippers, no matter how imaginatively and hagiographically they describe their activities.
The government must not get into the business of valuing different categories of work differently in the personal-income-tax system, such as by over-taxing entertainers or athletes. (A derogation from this rule would require a severe tax penalization for most government employees, given how redundant to the interest of the nation and its citizens the work of many of them is.) But it would be acceptable to impose a surcharge on highly compensated services that are essentially accelerations of the velocity of money without meeting elemental criteria for betterment of anything, and on luxury-goods sales. A 10 percent surcharge on financial transactions alone would produce over $200 billion per year in deficit reduction, and would affect only deal-making, most of which deals would just as well not be made and few of which positively affect employment. The good deals would be just as good if they cost a little more to consummate. A 10 percent surcharge on legal and consulting bills would yield another $200 billion, and would merely be a tax on largely superfluous activity by any economic criterion.

The Kitchen God's Wife

Kressel Housman's review

bookshelves: fiction, historical-fiction, world-culture, chinese-culture
Read in March, 2008
Amy Tan is such a master! This is even better than The Joy Luck Club! For three nights running, I couldn't put it down. Like The Joy Luck Club, it's about the relationship between a Chinese immigrant mother and her Americanized daughter. It also weaves in lots of Chinese myth and religion. But the best part is the historical picture it gives you. Most of the book is about the mother's experiences in WWII China, and it shows how the Communists both helped and hurt the people. Mostly, though, it's about an abusive marriage. I certainly cried through it, and I'm sure others will, too.

Pope fitted with pacemaker "some time ago" - Vatican
- Tweet

- Share this
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict had a heart pacemaker installed some time ago but was not suffering from poor health and remained lucid and serene in the wake of his decision to resign, the Vatican spokesman said on Tuesday.
It had not been generally known that the 85-year-old pope had been fitted with a pacemaker.
Father Federico Lombardi said the batteries on the appliance were replaced three months ago in a minor, routine intervention but that had played no part in persuading the pontiff to take the shock decision to step down.
"It had no influence on the decision, the reasons were in his perception that his strength had diminished with advancing age," Lombardi told a press briefing at the Vatican.

Reviews for: Apple Orchard Farm
Average Review:

By: Terre Poole (Mar 25, 2010)
I purchased beef tenderloin filet mignon from Art. The first time I cooked and ate, I thought 'this is what meat is supposed to taste like'!! It tasted like I remembered when I was young - before all the steroids and hormones were so prevelent. I have also purchased pork products that were great as well. ALL of Art's meat products are WONDERFUL, GREAT-TASTING! I HIGHLY recommend this farm to anyone looking to get back to REAL MEAT!

Aifa wants cap on regulatory fees and accountability review
Aifa is lobbying MPs for a cap on regulatory fee increases and a review of the new accountability arrangements.
In a briefing note sent to MPs ahead of this afternoon's debate on the Financial Services Bill, Aifa says future fee rises should be capped and that the Treasury should have to sign off on any rises above the cap. Currently the FSA sets its own budget.
Aifa is also calling on the Government to commit to reviewing accountability measures for the new regulators after three years.
The paper says: "Aifa is fearful that the costs of regulatory reform are not fully recognised and predict ever increasing cost pressures befalling our members as a consequence. The FSA have just announced a 15.6 per cent increase in fees. Aifa believes the scope of future fee rises should be capped, for example at CPI + 1 per cent, with larger increases needing Treasury approval."
The note says a review of regulatory accountability is needed after three years to "see whether the FCA is serving customers' interests in supporting a vibrant financial services sector".
Labour, the Treasury select committee and the joint committee on the draft financial services bill have all raised concerns about the accountability measures being put in place for the new 'twin peaks' regulatory regime which will see the FSA replaced by the Prudential Regulation Authority and the FCA.
Aifa is worried FCA powers to publish early warning notices that it is investigating a firm could lead to "severe" reputational damage to firms who are later found not to have broken any rules. The note says: "A more appropriate balance needs to be achieved between early intervention and the treatment of firms. We recommend the FCA introduces a clear process that will make explicit that firms are exonerated when it is concluded that no wrongdoing has taken place."
Aifa also continues to push for a 15-year long stop for advisers. It says: "The lack of any cap on advisers' liability means that firms, particularly smaller ones, have the burden of making provision within their accounts for the increasing risk of complaints as well as the proposed increases to capital-adequacy provisions. Additionally, it impedes investment in the industry."

With a curled up piggin string clenched between his teeth, 14-year-old Ian Fleace spurred his horse into a gallop, kicking up dust as he rode across the practice arena on his dad's farm near Spafford Wednesday night. With a smooth dismount from his horse, he grabbed a taut rope and headed toward a bleating goat. Once he reached the animal, he flipped it on its side, grabbed the piggin string from his mouth and tied the goat's legs together. Earlier this month, Fleace garnered championship honors in goat tying at the Minnesota Wrangler Junior High Rodeo in Pine River.
WORTHINGTON -- Free pancakes and sausage, a cattle-judging contest, a petting zoo and a coloring contest for kids with soybean-based crayons are among the events planned Saturday morning during Breakfast on the Farm at the John and Gloria Widboom farm north of Worthington. The Farm Bureau-sponsored event is geared to educate the public about agriculture, and recognize ag producers responsible for putting food on dinner plates of consumers around the world. "This is something that's commonly been done in counties for many years," said Matt Widboom, son of John and Gloria and a member of the N
LUVERNE -- During an unusual evening meeting Tuesday in Luverne, Rock County Commissioners sent a tax abatement request from Midwest Fire to the county's budget committee for further discussion. The request came after Midwest Fire owner Scott Schneekloth backed away from plans to utilize JOBZ benefits to relocate and expand his fire truck manufacturing business in Luverne. Without the JOBZ benefits, the City of Luverne, along with Rock County and the Luverne School District are being asked to approve an eight-year tax abatement for Midwest Fire. The estimated total abatement amounts to $154
ST. KILIAN -- For the past several years, Wendell Loosbrock stepped forward when his name was called, accepted a long-stemmed flower and made his way around the luminary-lined track at Nobles County's American Cancer Society Relay for Life in the company of fellow cancer patients and cancer survivors. His presence will be missed this year -- Loosbrock died on Dec. 22, 2006, of complications from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma -- but his memory will live on with his Relay team, the St.

WILMONT -- Technology that may prove crucial to a crop producer's ability to retain moisture levels on farm land and prevent nitrates from being carried into Minnesota's streams and rivers was unveiled in a cornfield Wednesday morning near Wilmont. The field is part of a three-and-a-half-year study to determine the benefits and cost-effectiveness of conservation drainage, a process that utilizes a controlled tile drainage system to maintain or reduce the amount of water in the water table. The Wilmont farm, owned by Doug Bullerman and his brothers in the partnership of Son-D-Farms, is one of
WORTHINGTON -- Nobles County Commissioners on Tuesday approved spending as much as $15,000 on projects related to the county's 150th celebration on July 4 at Worthington's Pioneer Village. Auditor-Treasurer Sharon Balster said $2,150 in donations has been received from Nobles County banks to help pay for some of the sesquicentennial expenses, and more donations are still expected. The money will be used to pay for anniversary medallions, historical booklets, a historical insert in the Daily Globe, parade magnets and banners, ice cream cones and the completion of an historic quilt. The Noble
WORTHINGTON -- The Whiskey Ditch Motorcycle Rally and third annual Ribfest begins Friday evening on the grounds of Prairie Holdings, just north of Interstate 90 on U.S. 59 in Worthington. The event will start at 5 p.m. Friday with a competition between three local vendors for the best-tasting ribs.
WORTHINGTON -- Honoring cancer survivors and remembering those who have lost their battle with the disease is the premise behind the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Nobles County's Relay begins with registration at 5 p.m. Friday and concludes with a closing ceremony at 5 a.m. Saturday. One of the great traditions of the Relay is the luminary lighting ceremony in which candles are lit one by one to illuminate the walking track.
WORTHINGTON -- The price paid for bare farmland in Nobles County increased by an average of $400 per acre in 2006 and, based on recorded sales since last October, the market shows no sign of dropping off. Nobles County Assessor Byron Swart said of the 29 bare farmland sales (parcels of 35 acres or more) recorded in the one-year period from Oct. 1, 2005 through Sept. 30, 2006, buyers paid an average of $2,900 per acre.

Duncan Hunter's thank you note to Hillary

Via The Caucus, one of my favorite GOP presidential candidates, Duncan Hunter, sent a merry message to Hillary Clinton. Rep. Hunter fielded the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" lecture from Team Hillary campaign member Keith Kerr–the gay retired military officer whom CNN tried to pass off as an undecided Republican voter. Hunter welcomed the plant:

Tweaking an ESI Juli@ XTe card
With a lot of help and guidance from "Greg from Mississippi" I've begun exploring the digital section of my ESI Juli@ XTe card (PICe version) with a view to (1) soldering a direct connection to an RCA jack for S/PDIF Out (done), (2) powering the card independently of the motherboard, (3) upgrading the clocks and (4) possible other upgrades. I'm wondering if anyone here has modified the digital side of the XTe version of this card. I've done quite a lot of work tracing most of the key parts and voltages on this card. In many ways it is similar to the older PCI card but in others it's different. The card draws both 12V and 3.3V from the motherboard. -12V is produced on the digital section of the card but appears to only be used on the analogue part of the card. In addition, 5V (DVCC) is generated from the 12V (UA9). It too is passed to the analogue portion of the card. Annoyingly, the 5V appears to be used by UA7 on side A of the digital part of the card (and also for the optical out which I care less about). Were it not for this, I'd probably try disconnecting the 12V completely. Lastly, 1.8V is generated from the 3.3V (UA8). Here's a couple of pics of the card with my notations. Directly beneath each is a download link to a high-resolution version of the same image. The last link is a high-resolution version of side A of the card which shows the traces more clearly. Side B High-res image Side A High-res image Side A traces For the clock upgrade, I am likely going to use one of Fidelity Audio's micro clocks Fidelity Audio : C3 Low Jitter Premium clock Micro clock 2 dual output for squeezeboxes The pictures above mark the capacitors and resistors which need to be removed along with each oscillator (Y1 and Y2). Each of the oscillators has an output voltage of 1.4V (although on one end of my Y1 oscillator was measuring 1.3V). I've also marked the points on side B of the card for direct wiring for S/PDIF out in order to avoid the breakout cable. I suspect the best entry points for direct power is intervention via the riser cable. Anyone else looked at this card in detail? I'm a novice and would appreciate any pointers!

Hello SGK,
How is you project going? I about to purchase a Juli@ Xte and modify it to use the MIDI IO connections directly to chassi jacks by soldering wires. Do you know if the pins are accessible on the bottom side of the PCB at the breakout connector? I've searched a while for a PCIe card with MIDI, ASIO2 and balanced output. I hope ESI will work for me. Regards Holger, Sweden |

I haven't made a lot of progress to be honest. I'm not at all an electronics expert. With help from Greg in Mississippi I soldered a direct connection to a 75 Ohm RCA socket from the part marked HanRun. I have marked some of the terminals on the underside of EXT I/O but I was only tracing for S/PDIF.

I upgraded the clocks on this card by removing Y1 and Y2 and their associated capacitors and resistors and replacing them with a Micro Clock 2 from Fidelity Audio in the UK (which I power with 12V). A very worthwhile upgrade.

The Bruins started the All-Star break early, relinquishing a third-period lead and suffering a 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche Wednesday.
The shootout loss gave the Bruins three of a possible four points on their two-game road trip and gave them a 25-16-7 record at the break.
The Bruins started the All-Star break early, relinquishing a third-period lead and suffering a 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche Wednesday (box).
The shootout loss gave the Bruins three of a possible four points on their two-game road trip and gave them a 25-16-7 record at the break.
Ryan O'Reilly scored with 1:45 remaining in regulation, as Patrick Roy pulled Semyon Varlamov early. Nathan MacKinnon scored the only goal of the shootout, with Reilly Smith, David Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron all failing to score for the B's.
The Bruins will now break for the All-Star Game, which will be played Sunday. Patrice Bergeron is the Bruins' only participant. They will return to game action a week from Thursday against the Islanders.
Here are five things we learned Wednesday:
Brad Marchand punctuated his return from a two-game suspension with a big goal to give the B's the lead in the third period.
Marchand, who sat out Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets and Tuesday's contest in Dallas for slew-footing Derick Brassard last week, took a feed from David Krejci during a third-period line change and fired a wrist shot past Semyon Varlamov to break a 1-1 tie. The goal was Marchand's team-leading 13th of the season.
The veteran left wing also took a roughing penalty early in the third period and logged over two minutes of shorthanded time as the Bruins were carried by strong penalty killing for the second straight night.
An early third-period fracas between multiple members of each side brought about something we've yet to see: Dougie Hamilton's bare hands.
Hamilton earned his first career fighting major as he dropped the gloves with fellow 2011 top-10 pick Gabriel Landeskog. Both players landed shots in the bout, which ended when Hamilton lost his balance while swinging for a gigantic right.
Hamilton fought twice during his four OHL seasons. His first NHL fight came in his 154th regular-season game.
A night after killing off six penalties, the Bruins put their penalty-killing abilities to the test when they took three second-period minor penalties in succession that left them shorthanded for a 4:58 span from 9:34 to 14:32, including a pair of five-on-threes.
Not only did the Bruins hold Colorado off the scoreboard during that stretch, but they actually limited Grade-A chances. In the nearly five-minute shorthanded stretch, the Bruins allowed only five shots on goal.
The B's held the Avalanche to 0-for-5 on the power play on the night.
After Rask gave up just one goal Tuesday in Dallas, the Bruins went back to him for the second game of a back-to-back. Rask appeared to have repeated the feat until Ryan O'Reilly tied the game at two goals apiece with Varlamov pulled late in the game and an extra attacker on the ice.
Rask stopped 34 of the 36 shots he faced on the night, coming up big late in the game as Colorado dominated play. He was also helped out in overtime when Brad Stuart got a clean look and hit the post.
This week marked Boston's ninth set of back-to-backs this season. The Bruins have started Rask in both games in four of them.
The Bruins controlled play in the first period, but it seemed as though they'd head to the intermission scoreless. In hindsight, they would have gladly taken that.
Old friend Jarome Iginla slipped free of Loui Eriksson and Carl Soderberg in front of the Bruins net in the final second of the period to jam a rebound past Tuukka Rask with 0.3 seconds remaining.
If that sounds familiar, it's because it was. The last time the teams met, Daniel Briere slipped away from Matt Bartkowski and scored the game-winning goal for Colorado in the final second of the teams' Oct. 13 meeting.
The Bruins playing the Stars will always bring up Tyler Seguin storylines, but on Tuesday it was the product of the Phil Kessel trade that the
The Bruins playing the Stars will always bring up Tyler Seguin storylines, but on Tuesday it was the member of the Phil Kessel trade that the Bruins kept who made the difference.
Dougie Hamilton had a two-point night, including his career-high eighth goal of the season in the third period, to give the B's a 3-1 victory over the Stars in Dallas.
The victory was the Bruins' sixth in their last seven games, giving them points in 11 of the last 12.
It was also the second and final game of Brad Marchand's suspension. Marchand will be eligible to return Wednesday against the Avalanche, which is the Bruins' final game before the All-Star break.
Here are four more things we learned Thursday:
Players went three places Tuesday: Up the ice for a scoring chance, down the ice to defend one and to the penalty box.
From the opening shift of the game, when Jamie Benn was sprung on a breakaway and then tripped by Adam McQuaid, the Bruins and Stars swapped both scoring chances and penalties.
The B's took six penalties on the night and killed off each of them, while Hamilton's power-play goal came on Dallas' fourth penalty of the night.
Standing tall for the Bruins throughout it all was Tuukka Rask, who made timely saves and got some help from the post.
The Bruins got their first goal of the game thanks to some brilliant passing by the Carl Soderberg line. Chris Kelly sent a nice pass out front for Carl Soderberg, who fooled everyone on the ice by not shooting.
Instead, Soderberg wheeled around and sent a behind-the-back pass to Loui Eriksson, who fired the puck past both Jamie Benn and a diving Kari Lehtonen.
The goal made up for a missed opportunity earlier in the second period, as Eriksson failed to lift the puck on a rebound bid off a point shot, allowing Lehtonen to get his stick on Eriksson's attempt.
Gregory Campbell scored two goals Tuesday. Though only one of them counted, it was still one more than he usually scores.
Jordan Caron knocked the puck away from Jamie Oleksiak in the offensive zone midway through the first period, with Campbell jumping on the puck and sending a wrister past Lehtonen. The celebration was short, as Caron was called for a hook on Oleksiak on the play, with Campbell's shot serving to do nothing more than signal the whistle.
Campbell would get another chance, however, as he jumped on a puck in front following a Craig Cunningham shot and sent a rebound bid through the legs of Lehtonen to give Boston a 2-1 lead.
The goal was Campbell's first in 10 games and fifth of the season.
It wasn't until David Pastrnak put a harmless shot from high in the zone on Lehtonen in the opening minutes of the third period that he had his first shot on goal of the game.
Actually, it was his first shot on goal of the last two games, and it was more than David Krejci could say.
That's right — two members of Boston's first line nearly went two straight games without a shot on goal, and Claude Julien, who hasn't been afraid to mix up his lines this season, did something about it.
Beginning late in the second period, Julien sent a number of different wingers out with Lucic and Krejci, as Reilly Smith, Craig Cunningham and Daniel Paille all took turns in Pastrnak's place, with Pastrnak still getting shifts of his own with the line. Krejci finished the game with no shots on goal, while Lucic and Pastrnak each had one.
The Lucic-Krejci-Pastrnak line has come down to earth since last week's three-goal game against the Lightning, but it deserves time to develop chemistry given its offensive upside. That said, they need to shoot if they want to score.
WILMINGTON – While the rest of the world calls it the Super Bowl, Milan Lucic calls the upcoming Seahawks-Patriots match something else.
"My West Coast team against my East Coast team," the Bruins' left wing said with a smile Monday.
Lucic, a native of Vancouver, grew up rooting for the Seahawks but has become a Patriots fan since coming to Boston. Lucic says his allegiance to the Pats, which grew as he nursed an ankle injury in the 2009-10 season, will win out when he watches Super Bowl XLIX.
"Since '09 when I had that high ankle sprain, I've kind of converted into a Patriots fan," he said. "I've got to stick with my team now and keep cheering for the Pats."
Lucic, the Bruins' resident sportscaster/statistician, watched both the NFC and AFC title games Sunday, the first of which resulted in a comeback/collapse by the Seahawks and Packers, respectively, when the Seahawks, with just one timeout remaining, scored a touchdown to bring them within five points, recovered an onside kick on a botched blocking assignment, took the lead on a touchdown and two-point conversion and, after the Packers forced overtime with a field goal, won on a 35-yard touchdown pass.
Lucic thought the game was over when Russell Wilson threw his fourth interception of the game with 5:04 left and the Seahawks trailing by 12.
"I even congratulated some of my cousins from Milwaukee who are huge Green Bay fans for the win," he said.
But then the Seahawks made their push and the Packers went to the bathroom in their pants. If the way that game ended reminded you of the Leafs blowing a three-goal lead in the final 10:42 of Game 7 of the first round against the B's back in 2013, you aren't alone.
"Obviously it brings back memories of the Game 7 against Toronto that we had," Lucic said. "You kind of know the feeling that [the Seahawks are] feeling today and how excited they are to pull something like that off. I think looking back, the run that we went on having a comeback like that, because you're so high and it seems like nothing can go wrong when you're able to come back from something like that. I'm pretty sure that the Seahawks are feeling that right now. I think it's going to be a real, real fun Super Bowl to watch."
Between the Patriots' six Super Bowl appearances since 2002, the Red Sox' three World Series titles since 2004, the Celtics' two recent NBA Finals appearances, the Revolution's MLS Cup appearance last season and the Bruins' Cup Finals appearances in 2011 and 2013, Boston fans are used to seeing title games and Boston athletes are used to playing in them.
Lucic says the Pats going back to the Super Bowl provides motivation for the B's to follow suit in their league.
"You know the feeling of being there and you know the feeling of winning and winning it all," Lucic said. "You see the Patriots make it back to the Super Bowl again, it definitely gives you a little bit of a boost, just because you know that feeling and you want to do whatever you can to re-live that feeling."
The Bruins will host the Canadiens in the 2016 Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium, WEEI.com has learned from league sources.
The Bruins will host the Canadiens in the 2016 Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium, WEEI.com has learned from league sources.
The Jan. 1 meeting between the two clubs, which has long been speculated, will be the second Winter Classic the Bruins have hosted. The B's defeated the Flyers in overtime at the 2010 Winter Classic at Fenway Park.
The Canadiens, meanwhile, have never participated in the Winter Classic and will become just the second Canadian team to compete in the annual outdoor game. The Maple Leafs beat the Red Wings in a shootout in the 2014 game at Michigan Stadium.
The Habs aren't complete strangers to outdoor games, however, as they did play in the 2011 Heritage Classic against the Flames in Calgary.
It is unknown how preparations for the event will affect the Patriots, as Jan. 1 typically falls right around Week 17 of the NFL season.
After TSN's Bob McKenzie reported in December that the Bruins were the favorites to host the game, Red Sox COO Sam Kennedy said that the Red Sox hoped to see the game return to Fenway Park, but acknowledged that Gillette's seating capacity of 68,756 might make it difficult for the Sox and Fenway (37,400 capacity) to win the bid.
The NHL has yet to make an official announcement, but Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton said Monday that he would love to play in a Winter Classic soon.
"I think it would be awesome," Hamilton said. "It's something that you kind of follow every year. In [recent] years I watched the HBO show in juniors and kind of pictured what the NHL was like. Then watching the games, it's obviously special with the different jerseys and the venue and the crowd and rivalries and everything; it's something you'd really want to be a part of.
"I think when [speculation] came out last year and we kind of thought it was going to be this year, I think it was kind of disappointing that it wasn't us. Hopefully we get it and have that chance. It [would be] something to really forward to next year."

WILMINGTON — The Bruins had perfect attendance as they practiced Monday in anticipation of a two-game road trip that will send them into the All-Star break.
The B's will play Tuesday in Dallas and Wednesday in Colorado. By the looks of Monday's practice, Daniel Paille will remain on Patrice Bergeron's line in Tuesday's game as Brad Marchand serves the final game of his two-game ban for slew-footing Derick Brassard last week.
The lines in practice were as follows:
Marchand (suspended)/Paille-Bergeron-Smith
All defensemen and both goaltenders were present.
Normally a team wouldn't be too disappointed with one loss after a five-game winning streak, but considering that the Bruins are still fighting for their playoff lives and the Blue Jackets are out of the playoff picture, Saturday's 3-1 loss was pretty disappointing.
"I'm disappointed," Claude Julien said after the game. "I don't care, six wins in a row, whatever, we just can't afford to have those kind of outings. Disappointed that we didn't come to play harder than we did tonight and we wanted to take the easy way out. When we do that, we're not successful.
"We're a north-south type of team, we backcheck hard, we forecheck hard, and we make things happen by taking pucks to the net. Tonight we weren't willing to do that. When we got into the battle you could tell they wanted it more than us. We've gotta accept the blame and the responsibility. We weren't good enough tonight and we shouldn't accept that."
The Bruins did have 35 shots on goal in the game, but as multiple players pointed out, they didn't do enough to make those saves tough ones for Columbus goalie Curtis McElhinney. There was a lot of settling for shots from the outside, not setting screens and not being in position to get rebounds. That lack of getting to the so-called dirty areas seemed to be more frustrating for Julien and the Bruins than the loss itself.
Technically, the Bruins can actually afford the loss. They're still ahead of the Panthers, who suffered a shootout loss to Edmonton Saturday night, for the eighth and final playoff spot. In terms of points, the B's have a four-point edge with the Panthers holding three games in hand. In terms of points percentage, it's .587 for the B's to .581 for the Panthers. The Bruins also hold a 22-15 edge in regulation and overtime wins, which could matter for tiebreak purposes if it comes to that.
The Bruins weren't going to keep their winning streak going forever, but suffering a letdown and having it snapped against a non-playoff team doesn't sit well. The Bruins will look to get back to playing the right way during a mini-road trip to Dallas and Colorado this week before heading into the all-star break.

Mics & Headsets
I acquired three aviation headsets from my father who had to hang up his keys recently. All headsets are used, and in good condition. Actual pictures of each set are available from me if you ask. They're too big to include in this ad. I have tested all three for reception with a local radio, and they all work fine. I have not tested the microphone, but am told, (and believe) they all work fine too. I'm asking $50 for each plus shipping (US only please). If you buy all three, I'll sell them for $130 and pay for shipping myself (US only please). #1. PILOT PA-1161: http://www.tagpilotsupply.com/pilot-usa-pa-1161t-aviation-headset.aspx This set is stereo/mono capable, and has a foam wind screen over the microphone. Also has individual volume controls on each ear. #2. FLIGHT LINE EAGLE: http://www.utahseaplaneadventures.com/pilotsupplies/headsets/flightline This set has a replacement ear cushion. One is a different color than the other. Interestingly, this set is the most comfortable of all three. Also has individual volume controls on each ear. These headphones are stereo/mono capable. #3. NO NAME: This is a mono only headset with one volume control (that controls the volume in both ears). Tim, WK4U
