Whew, we're moved into the new house, and here's the kitchen. First off, thanks to everyone who answered my many questions while we were designing and building. There are too many of you to name, but in particular, I want to thank lavender_lass and kirkhall for their tireless attention to my many issues, Greendesign who suggested putting the fridge where it is (which I never would have considered), and Hollysprings for suggesting a slab door that I paint with chalkboard paint (which I also never would have considered). There was some advice we didn't take--range hood, more drawers, nixing the kitchen desk, cabinet pantry instead of walk-in--but we strongly considered them and were able to make purposeful decisions in those areas, so they helped, too. We finished almost two months ago, but I kept waiting for a chance that things were clean to get some good photos--and just before my son's 2nd birthday was about as good as it gets, folks. Besides, it's nice to see kitchens in action, right? Ultimately, not a fancy or particularly nice kitchen, but we love it, and think it fits our goals well (comfortable, can handle a large family). Maybe this post can give ideas (on what to do or what NOT to do!) especially for those building more modest kitchens. Here's a main shot of the kitchen: One of our favorite things about this house is our chalkboard door. As mentioned above, this is just a hollow slab door that I primed and painted on all sides with Rustoleum chalkboard paint. It's holding up really well, considering my son's idea of drawing is to try to stab the door with chalk. But it's been really fun for us, putting different messages on to visitors, or each other. Here's our sink and faucet. It's a chrome Kohler Simplice. I love it, except the handle is occasionally difficult to operate, as if it gets slightly stuck, but I think that may be a defect in this model (when I figure out how to reliably reproduce it, I'll be calling the plumber to report it.) But we love how tall it is, how it looks, and the pull-down spray snaps back into place perfectly (I think with a magnet), unlike the other pull-out faucets we've had. We also have a black composite sink, but I don't know the brand. This is our desk. This was always non-negotiable with my wife, and I'm glad I didn't fight her on it. We love keeping the laptop there, as we usually have only a few minutes to get on it here and there, so if we had to fish it out of a drawer someplace, we rarely would. And it served as a great drink station at a Christmas party we hosted. We love this placement of the fridge. When GreenDesigns suggested it on a post I made, I thought it was crazy. Then others seconded the suggestion, and I warmed up to it--but not until it was finished did I really decide I liked it. It is so nice to have access to the fridge and the water/ice dispenser so close to the table. It's on the edge, but not interfering with, the working area of the kitchen. That's much better than cramming it on the wall with the range, as I had planned. By the way, the fridge is a GE GSH25JGDBB, available for around $800 if you look. It's pretty clearly the best, and one of the only, textured fridges still around. This is our little lady playing in the island cabinet, which is one reason we decided not to go with drawers here. In one of the cabs, I'm going to put vertical dividers for placing cookies trays and such on end. Also notice the floor in this shot. It is Traffic Master Allure Plus American Cherry from Home Depot, a LVT that sticks together (but floats on the floor). I installed it myself, and it was, well, not especially easy, mostly because the edges are beveled, and so we had to be careful to keep the pattern consistent across the whole first floor. It also scratches more easily than the medium-grade laminate we had in our old house. But it is pretty much waterproof, which is what we were were looking for, and I bought it for $1.38/sf! For equal opportunity, here's a totally gratuitous picture of our son licking a beater at the island. One thing that doesn't show up in the pictures is the pull-out trash on the right of the sink. Also a word about our lighting. We went with only can lights, 6 total, which is considerably less than is generally recommended. We also put in LED tape for undercabinet lighting. Finally, we have above cabinet outlets that I just put rope-lighting in (I'll post a picture when my new camera gets here). Despite so few lights and a fairly small window, we feel like there is plenty of light, even at night, and we often only use the three perimeter lights and the undercabinet lights. The rope lighting above the cabinets is pretty much useless unless every other light is turned off--but it's handy when bringing kids down to get medicine or milk in the middle of the night, for a soft glow that isn't too bright. And that's about it. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts and thanks for looking--it's so exciting to be on this side of the project! |

Congratulations!!! I'm sure it feels really good to be moved in and have a kitchen that works well for your family. I too will only have can lighting - it works for me....not too fussy and gets the job done. I love the chalkboard door. That's a great idea especially with kids....way to get them involved in the kitchen at an early age. Enjoy your new home!!! |
Your cabinets are beautiful, love the rich wood stain. What a great island cabinet to keep the little ones entertained while you prep & cook. Lovely family, lovely kitchen. Enjoy! |

I love your kitchen. It looks comfy, well functioning, warm, and not just for looks. Love the chalkboard door! Make sure to take pictures of your kids' artwork and special messages. It'll be a wonderful record for years to come. |
Modest is good, and functional. Enjoy. What I could see. I seem to have a problem with anyone who posts pix from TinyPic, ultra slow, or not there? Except for the finale, of Mr. Licker helping do the dishes. |

Just a suggestion: You may get more comments, and certainly more eyeballs, if you "lighten" (reduce the data size of) your pictures considerably. The first one alone is more than ONE MILLION bytes of data. That is extremely heavy and prevents additional pictures from downloading for people who don't have a very high-speed, broadband connection. After repeated tries I have only managed to see the top two pics (and the second hasn't fully d/l, yet.) What I can see is very nice and I'd like to see more! L. |
Thanks everyone! liriodendron, I'm glad you mentioned that. I think I've reworked it so the pictures are smaller, but are links to the higher-res. I borrowed a DSLR to take these and forgot how big the file sizes are. Thanks! |

Very nice and I had to chime in to say that I love the pics of your helpers. My daughter (21 months) has the same elephant paci and I'm afraid she'll take it to college she loves it so much. I don't see too many other kids with those but I have made a lot of converts when giving them as shower gifts (hidden agenda: my daughter won't be the only one bringing a Wubbanub to college). Cheers! |
So happy for you! You may have ended up with something fancier if you had waited and saved for a decade or longer….but then you wouldn't have the same young children who can enjoy and benefit from such a fabulous, family kitchen! That really looks like a wonderful space and you are wise to customize it for your family's needs. Lucky them. Congratulations! |
Great job and thank you for sharing! You will love the vertical dividers in your drawers. Great idea for the chalkboard door - I might have to do a section of our pocket door with chalkboard! Thanks for the idea. And you little one- I am partial to those red heads! Congratulations!! A2gemini |
Love your cabinets, and, although I may be in the minority, I really do like the look of your drop-in sink, with the slim border. I nearly did the same myself. Thanks for posting! |

Looks lovely! Seems like it really works for you, and is beautiful. Great job! |
camg - your in! Yay! How wonderful to be finished and enjoying the space. I think it looks great and a perfect example of gleaning what you can from here while staying true to your family's needs and your budget. |
i love your cabinets but you don't say what they are. what kind of countertop did you put in? i am hoping to redo my very modest kitchen in summer and am still looking for counters/cabinets so i am interested in any info you can pass on |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Jan 4, 14 at 15:28
Good layout and materials. It should be easy to work in. I like it. :) |
I'm coming in late, but I wanted to tell you how much I like what you've done. Your kids are cute, too. You said your kitchen was "not a fancy or particularly nice kitchen." I absolutely beg to differ. It's well thought out, pleasing to the eye, and most of all (to me) it sounds like it's very functional for your family. That, my friend, is a nice kitchen. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Sun, Jan 5, 14 at 16:07
Cam- Congrats! It looks wonderful....tell your wife I love the desk! LOL When do we get to see pictures of the rest of the house??? :) Your little helpers are adorable! The chalkboard door is a great idea. |
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Sun, Jan 5, 14 at 22:37
I also like the desk! Nice to see an attractive space that seems to work so well for your family. |
I also have a modest kitchen. It's nice to see others for ideas. Glad you enjoy it. And your little helpers are adorable :) I agree with CEFreeman... "It's well thought out, pleasing to the eye, and most of all (to me) it sounds like it's very functional for your family. That, my friend, is a nice kitchen". |
Thanks everyone for the kind words! (Sorry I just saw all of these responses) ardcp, the cabinets are Koch Cabinets (which is online), expres, birch in brandy stain, the least expensive style they had (which we happened to like!). The countertops are Wilsonart Laminate Milano Quartz. One of my regrets is getting the "blind" edge--I wish I would have gotten the beveled or curved edge, and there's a long story why we couldn't. It's a bit sharp in the corners, which is uncomfortable for your forearms sitting at the bar, and the non-radius corners look a bit dangerous. I would highly recommend splurging on undercabinet lighting, unless you've got a lot more lighting than we have. We did LED tape lights. We feel like the general lighting is pretty good, and we'd probably be okay without it, but boy is it nice to have the task lighting under each cab. As I've mentioned, I don't care much for the over cabinet lighting except as mood lighting when it's otherwise completely dark. I'll snap a pic of the above cabinet lighting as soon as we clean our kitchen again. LL, glad you saw this!! I've been trying to find the time to post about the rest of the house. I've got the pictures taken, and although I don't find the rest quite as interesting as we didn't modify it all that much, I will be sure to post in the Building a Home section. At least we can show off the fireplace that I had the builders beef up and our through-the-wall dog door! Yes, our desk really gets tons of use, and I don't see that changing as our kids do more and more. I like that there is a specific spot for my son to have his computer time, even on the ipad. |

Globalized Members:The Icelandic Phallological Museum and Neoliberalism
Sigurjón Baldur HafsteinssonUniversity of IcelandSitting in his pyjamas in front of a computer on an August morning in 2007, Mr. Sigurður Hjartarson, thefounder and owner of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, received a message from a man
he did not know.Mr. Tom Anderson had taken the initative and sent him a photograph of two naked men posing in front of acamera. Mr. Anderson writes above the photograph "Here´s a dandy specimen for Mr. Hjartarson´smuseum" - evidently referring to a giant dick of the man kneeling. A year later, another unknown mansends Mr. Hjartarson an email with a photograph. This time, we see a man in front of the PhallogicalMuseum who has
dropped his pants, exposing his genitals, and is pointing towards the closed museum door.Mr. Hjartarson is not unfamiliar with such work in the mornings, being brought to view the exposedgenitalia of men with no
or limited identities. For Mr. Hjartarson receiving such email attachments is both ahumorous and a serious act as the members on display in the photos are potential aquisitions for his specialcollection of mammal penises. Some of these photographs have become part of the permanent exhibition atthe museum like the nude photograph of Mr. Stan Underwood, showing his "Elmo: An AmericanPenis" (as it is nicknamed) framed behind glass in the "foreign division" of the Phallological Museum.Figure 1. E-mail to Mr. Hjartarson, with a
photograph of a "dandy specimen" for the museum.In this talk I want to suggest that we have to view these breakfast scenarios as examples of "complexconnectivity" or a "rapid developing and
ever-densening network of interconnections and interdependencesthat characterize modern social life" (Tomlinson 1999:2). The ramifications of such complexities includethat conditions of exchange have been altered and foregrounded the importance of circulatory cultures(Mathur 2005) in constructing the meaning of things (Kopytoff 1986) and "regimes of value" (Appadurai1986). The appearance of the photographs on Mr. Hjartarson´s computer screen, therefore, raise interestingquestions about such complex connectivity: what are the shifting values of cultural forms as they move inand out of categories, across diverse contexts, through unstable borderlands, and the contingencies of such
classifications as those of art, commodity, the modern, the authentic, perversion and sex (Marcus andMyers 1995)? In particular, these questions become even more interesting when considered in their contextof what we
can call "renewed localities". In addition, such a
circulatory approach to complex connectivitiesredefines the production processes of museum acquisitions and exhibitions and blurs the boundariesbetween categories like those of curator (in the sense of a producer of a museum) and visitor (in the senseof a recipient of museum messages).
I want to discuss three examples of global circulatory culture inrelation to the Phallological Museum and to contextualize it within the neoliberal cultural policyimplemented in Iceland in the 1990s. The examples in question are first of all the visual media that hasfeatured the museum, then the printed media discussion about the museum, and finally a piece of art whichwas donated to the museum. But before I attend to that, a few words
about the Phallological Museum.
The Icelandic Phallological Museum
The Phallological Museum opened in Reykjavík in 1997 and operated there until 2004. It then moved to aanother location, Húsavík, which is a small coastal town in North East Iceland. The Phallological Museumis one of the smallest, youngest and from an ethnographic point of view, truly the most exotic museum inIceland. According to its advertisements, it is the only museum in the world devoted to the collection of phallic specimens belonging to terrestrial and marine mammals. The Museum contains a collection of closeto three hundred penises and penile parts belonging to land and sea mammals found in and around Iceland.The largest penis in the collection is of a Sperm whale. At just over 1.70 meters long "it is a real mobydick" ("Definitely
the Full Monty" 1998).
The penises are exhibited stuffed, pickled in jars, dried
andmounted, and penis bones are on display in glass cabinets. The Museum also has on display the foreskin of a 40 year old Icelander and a pair of testicles from a 50 year old Icelander
but four males have pledged thatafter their death their penises will be sent to the Museum to become part of the exhibit.
The PhallologicalMuseum also collects phallobilia of all shapes and sizes ranging from "from an 18
-century engravingdepicting the circumcision of Christ to a 20
-century plastic penis pacifier" (Gross, 1998:150). Themuseum is divided into three sections; Icelandic, folkloristic and foreign. The Icelandic section of themuseum comprises mainly of mammal penises that are found in and around geographical boundaries of theisland. In the folklore section we find, for example, a penis of a figure that belongs to the hidden people, inother words, one of the Icelandic "elves" (
). However, according to Mr. Hjartarson, only"sensitive women" can see the hidden-man´s penis. In the foreign section we find other examples like thephotograph and plastic cast of "Elmo" and the penis of an elephant. The elephant dick is the only piece inthe museum that Mr.
Hjartarson has actually paid for. I want to
emphasise that the elf-penis and "Elmo" are"acquisitions" that are interestingly simultaneously both absent and present at the museum. They can onlybe explained through the "complex connectivities" mentioned before as they emerge and becomeobjectified in global
and local media.
It might also be
noted that the Phallological Museum receivesthousands of visitors each year and many of them ask Mr. Hjartarson - who has been described as being "a
bearded figure who could pass for a mild-mannered Icelandic troll": "Why do you do it?" and he answerssimply and frankly; "I
wasn´t interested in collecting stamps!" (Lynn 1999).Figure 2. Mammal specimen in formaldehyde. Photo: Melkorka Magnúsdóttir.
Emerging Global Members
When Mr. Hjartarson first brought his penis collection into the public eye, the Icelandic State was taking anew approach to social and cultural affairs. Economic and cultural development in the immediate post-independence period after 1944 had given Icelandic society quite a distinct corporatist character. Thiscorporatism manifested itself in extensive government support for economic development and activity,local governments frequently becoming involved in running businesses, for example fish plants and aprinting company, the central government
meanwhile providing guarantees for business ventures of variouskinds. This all changed with the election of a new government in 1991 which introduced a neo-liberalideology of governance. Now state sponsorship of economic activity was deemed to be morally wrong,because it skewed competition, and was considered economically wasteful. Previously state run businesseswere privatized and a powerful discourse arose on the importance of individual initiative, responsibility,and freedom (see Árnason, Hafsteinsson and Grétarsdóttir 2003) something
which affected the culturalscene profoundlyThe concept of globalization was used by the various political parties which were in power duringthis era as a part of a scheme of social, economic and cultural restructuring. It was argued that Icelandicsociety needed to participate in an increasing globalization. The term globalization was also used as astrategy to implement neoliberal cultural policy and argued that globalization was inevitable. A formerforeign minister, for instance, stated in 2002 that globalization had blurred the boundaries between nationsand made the world a one economic market. "Because of that", he stated, "Icelanders need to adjust to achanged world [but at the same time] use the opportunities that arise" (Ásgrímsson 2002). A new culturalpolicy was gradually formed and implemented in a changed environment of governance. The new cultural

I love knitting, mainly for myself but for others too. I have been knitting since I was about 9 years old. My mum was a great knitter but it was my dad who had the patience to sit down and teach me the basics of casting on and off and garter stitch. My first project was a scarf for my teddy.

Postman examines the American fixation with technology and argues that the United States is in danger of becoming a technopoly, a system in which technology of every kind is cheerfully granted sovereignty over social institutions and national life, and becomes self-justifying, self-perpetuating, and omnipresent. Postman traces the historical movement of technology from being a support-system for a culture s traditions to competing with them, and, finally, to creating a totalitarian order with no use for tradition at all. As he shows, technology comes irresistibly to redefine what we mean by religion, art, family, politics, history, truth, privacy, and intelligence, so that the new definitions fit the requirements of the technological thought-world. As a consequence, alternative ways of living and believing become invisible and irrelevant, and the possibilities of other narratives that might serve to organize national purpose are driven out of consciousness.

Brown estimates that worldwide net exports of petroleum liquids--a number that includes both crude oil and refined products such as gasoline and diesel--declined from 45.6 million barrels per day (mbpd) in 2006 to 43.7 mbpd in 2011. He uses the net exports number because importers such as the United States export some of their imported crude back into world markets in the form of refined products such as gasoline and diesel. Even so, the United States remains the world's largest net importer of petroleum products.
The decline in global net exports may seem small for now. But it is persistent and comes in the face of growing demand among the rapidly expanding economies of Asia, particularly China and India. And the trendlines, if they were to continue, would mean that China and India alone would consume all the world's available petroleum exports by around 2030. Something's bound to give before then, but it's not clear exactly what.
Brown focuses on a key number which he calls cumulative net exports (CNE). It's the total expected volume of exports from oil-exporting countries over the entire period from now until global exports are presumed to drop to zero around 2060. It's based on the trajectory established in the data from 2005 through 2011. Though the timetable is likely to change, when he looks at CNE alongside the current rate of decline for exports, it's clear that the world's remaining exports are "front-loaded." The largest portion will be delivered in the years immediately following the export peak. It's why "we've experienced something close to business as usual" since the apparent export peak in 2006, he said.

A month ago, the news that Hollywood is actually working on a Minecraft movie would have been cause for chortling. "A movie adaptation of Minecraft?" we would've scoffed, sipping our highballs and dipping our breadrolls into a carafe filled with Beluga caviar. "Goodness, how silly! There's no story to Minecraft! It's just lots of blocks you use to build things!" This was before the release of The Lego Movie, which took the whole "blocks-used-to-build-things" concept and turned it into a pretty freaking good movie.
So, for the moment, it's possible to be optimistic. As reported by Deadline, the Minecraft project is currently being developed by Roy Lee (who produced The Lego Movie) as some kind of live-action film, which sounds just mildly insane enough to work. But could this instigate a whole new rush in videogame cinema? Here are five more videogames that don't particularly seem like they could be movies, which could ironically make them perfect as movies: READ FULL STORY

(ABC 6 News) - A long, slow journey is nearly over for a giant piece of electrical equipment in Pine Island.
The 540,000 plus pound transformer, which is described as the size of your average bedroom or kitchen, is being installed into a sub-station in Pine Island as part of CapX2020 project, which will expand power capacity in southern Minnesota, from Rochester to Lacrosse, Wisconsin.
As for the transformer's slow journey, it was transported by rail to Randolph, Minnesota - just east of Cannon Falls, and then slowly driven to Pine Island. The trip from Randolph to Pine Island took 5 hours. The procession was so slow, it was only allowed to take place during the overnight hours.
The hope is that the new CapX2020 line will be up and running by May 1st.
See the effort to move such a huge piece of equipment for yourself, tonight on ABC 6 News.

Remember this?:
This actress – who worked much more several years ago than she does now – has found the perfect way to annoy her controlling husband. He always insisted that she not step foot out of the house unless she was looking her best (full hair, makeup, clothes) because she was a "reflection of his image".
But now that they have quietly separated, she consistently walks out of the house in casual clothes and messy hair and no makeup (even when her destination isn't the gym). Of course, the paparazzi are there, just waiting to snap her photo. Her publicist called and said, "Do you realize how much you're p*ssing him off when you do that?" She replied, "Absolutely!" and giggled. Sounds like it's just her little way of reclaiming her life.
So! Now it all makes sense, I guess. I said back then it was Katie Holmes, and now, after seeing these pictures of Katie and Suri hanging out in … some … some pond in Connecticut, while still wearing all of their clothes, well. I think that kind of speaks volumes to the recent blind item, now, don't you? Because if Katie and Tom were still together and these photos emerged, we wouldn't have even seen them. Tom probably would have been lurking somewhere in the shadows of a sycamore tree, getting ready to pounce the photographer who happened to catch these shots. And then he would have kissed him and then destroyed all evidence. Of both.

POSTED: Friday, August 10, 2012 - 6:41pm
UPDATED: Monday, August 13, 2012 - 8:50am
Jacksonville, TX — A historic church in Jacksonville struggles to stay open. After 165 years of serving the community... they are losing church members.
It has been pretty quiet on Sunday's at the Cove Springs Methodist Church, and the church needs the community's support.
The cove springs methodist church has been active for 156 years.
George W. Powell, Treasurer of the church, has been a member for 3 years and his family have been members of 30 years.
This church has been struggling to stay open since Pastor Dan Middleton who was fighting cancer had past away.. a little over a month ago. He was preacher for 34 years.
The Powell family are taking care of the church finances. George says, without enough members, there are not enough donations.
Members who host barbeque's and garage sales to raise money for the church are no longer members.
Every day... before George walks out the door of the church, he says to himself..."Life isn't about waiting for the storm to past, it's about learning how to dance in the rain."
The Powell family are doing everything they can to keep the church open, they need members and donations.
George says, it's no for him, it's for God.


text: just got back from the range. did some .22 plinking and shot the bersa 380 and kahr cw40 for the first time. My first impressions of the Kahr are positive. I only shot 50 rounds, but they were flawless and my aim is better with this gun than it is with my .380. It's not the most comfortable gun to shoot over and over, but obviously that's not what it's made for. I feel very good about this as my everyday carry. Now time to find a nice holster! Keith

Allan Savory
Allan Savory | |
Born | 15 September 1935 (age 79) Bulawayo, Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe) |
Fields | Ecology, Range Science |
Institutions | Savory Institute Africa Center for Holistic Management |
Alma mater | University of Natal |
Known for | Holistic management |
Notable awards | Banksia International Award (2003) Buckminster Fuller Challenge (2010) |
(Clifford) Allan Redin Savory (born 15 September 1935) is a Zimbabwean biologist, farmer, soldier, exile, environmentalist, and winner of the 2003 Banksia International Award[1] and the 2010 Buckminster Fuller Challenge.[2] He is the originator of holistic management.[3] Savory has said, "only livestock can save us." Through reversing desertification, he claims that rangeland soil has the ability to sequester vast amounts of CO
2. These claims are supported by experimental evidence,[4] but are also under fierce dispute.[5][6][7]
Savory was educated in South Africa at the University of Natal, gaining a B.Sc. in Biology and Botany in 1955.[8][9]
Early work in southern Africa[edit]
Savory began working on the problem of land degradation (desertification) in 1955 in Northern Rhodesia, where he served in the Colonial Service as Provincial Game Officer, Northern and Luapula Provinces. He later continued this work in Southern Rhodesia first as a research officer in the Game Department, later as an independent scientist and international consultant.
As late as 1969, he was advocating culling large populations of wild animals such as elephants and hippos, when they appeared to be destroying their habitat.[10][11] He had participated in the culling of 40,000 elephants in the 1950s but he later concluded the culling did not reverse the degradation of the land, calling that project "the saddest and greatest blunder of my life."[12][13]
Savory was inspired by earlier work of French agronomist André Voisin who observed that cattle tended to return to the same patch of grass after about three days. Savory saw this as a solution to overgrazing, and believed that overgrazing was due to leaving cattle too long in the same area rather than the size of the herd.[14][15]
At the time of Unilateral Declaration of Independence in 1965, Savory was a colonel in the Rhodesian armed forces. He served extensively as an anti-guerrilla "tracker" working with the Tracker Combat Unit.[16]
Political involvement[edit]
This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (April 2013) |
Savory was elected to the Rhodesian Parliament representing Matobo constituency in the 1970 election. After resigning from the Rhodesian Front in protest over its racist policies and handling of the war, in 1973 Savory reformed the defunct Rhodesia Party formerly led by Sir Roy Welensky. In June 1973, Savory made a public statement that, if he had been born a black Rhodesian, he would have been a guerrilla fighter. Although he urged white Rhodesians to understand why he would feel this, the reaction to this statement led to Savory's ouster from the Rhodesia Party. In 1977, moderate white parties united in opposition to Ian Smith in what was known as the National Unifying Force (NUF) led by Savory.[17] The NUF party won no seats in the 1977 election, and Savory relinquished leadership to Tim Gibbs, son of Rhodesia's last governor. Savory continued to fight Ian Smith and his policies, in particular opposing the Internal Settlement under Bishop Abel Muzorewa. In 1979, due to conflicts with the Smith government, Savory left Rhodesia and went into self-imposed exile to continue his scientific work.
Move to America[edit]
After leaving Zimbabwe, Savory worked from the Cayman Islands into the Americas, introducing a plan to reverse desertification of 'brittle' grasslands by carefully planning movements of large herds of livestock to mimic those found in nature. Savory immigrated to the US, and with his wife Jody Butterfield founded the Center for Holistic Management in 1984. It later changed its name to the Savory Center and finally Holistic Management International. It launched the Africa Centre for Holistic Management, based in Zimbabwe in 1992 which has 2,520 hectares (6,200 acres) of land. Savory left Holistic Management International in 2009 to form the Savory Institute.[18][19]
Various organisations have worked globally with individuals, government agencies, NGOs, and corporations to restore grasslands through the teaching and practice of holistic management and holistic decision making. This includes conservation projects in the US, Africa, Canada, and Australia, where holistic management is being implemented with the goal of reversing desertification through holistic management techniques, using livestock and planned grazing as the main agent of change.[20]
Although Savory's approach to the problem of desertification has met resistance from the scientific mainstream (see below), some peer-reviewed studies have documented soil improvement as measured by soil carbon, soil biota, water retention, nutrient holding capacity, and ground litter on land grazed according to Savory's methods compared with continuously grazed and non-grazed land.[21][22][23] In 2010, Savory and the Africa Center for Holistic Management won The Buckminster Fuller Challenge,[2] an annual international design competition awarding $100,000 "to support the development and implementation of a strategy that has significant potential to solve humanity's most pressing problems."[24] In a 2012 address to the International Union for Conservation of Nature World Conservation Congress, on the urgent need to bring agriculture and conservation back together, Prince Charles lauded Savory's nature based approach:
"I have been particularly fascinated, for example, by the work of a remarkable man called Allan Savory, in Zimbabwe and other semiarid areas, who has argued for years against the prevailing expert view that it is the simple numbers of cattle that drive overgrazing and cause fertile land to become desert. On the contrary, as he has since shown so graphically, the land needs the presence of feeding animals and their droppings for the cycle to be complete, so that soils and grassland areas stay productive. Such that, if you take grazers off the land and lock them away in vast feedlots, the land dies."[25]
His February 2013 TED Talk, "How to green the desert and reverse climate change,"[12] attracted millions of views and was followed up by the release of his TED Book, The Grazing Revolution: A Radical Plan to Save the Earth.[26]
An assessment of multiple research studies, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, concluded that "these results refute prior claims that animal trampling associated with high stocking rates or grazing pressures in rotational grazing systems enhance soil properties and promote hydrological function".[27] Similarly, a survey article by Briske et al. (the same author) that examined rotational grazing systems found "few, if any, consistent benefits over continuous grazing." [28] These confirm earlier research [29] that compared short duration grazing (SDG) and Savory Grazing Method (SGM) in southern Africa and found no evidence of range improvement, a slight economic improvement of a seven-unit intensive system with more animals but with individual weight loss. That study found no evidence for soil improvement, but instead that increased trampling had led to soil compaction.
A coauthor of the USDA paper pointed out that Briske had examined rotational systems in general and not Savory's holistic method with its many components, and contrasted the success reported by many ranchers practicing multi-paddock grazing with the general lack of evidence found by formal research.[30] In March 2013, the Savory Institute published a research portfolio with selected abstracts of papers, theses and reports supporting holistic management and responding to some of their critics.[31]
The assertions made in Savory's TED Talk have been reviewed and criticized by rangeland scientists.[32] In addition to claims about reversing desertification, Savory stated at the same time, "…people who understand far more about carbon than I do calculate that for illustrative purposes, if we do what I'm showing you here, we can take enough carbon out of the atmosphere and safely store it in the grassland soils for thousands of years, and if we just do that on about half the world's grasslands that I've shown you, we can take us back to pre-industrial levels while feeding people." Jason West and David Briske, writing on the climate science website RealClimate, set out figures for carbon storage and uptake by the world's vegetation, and concluded that, "It is simply unreasonable to expect that any management strategy, even if implemented on all of the planet's grasslands, would yield such a tremendous increase in carbon sequestration."[33] Briske's conclusions were disputed by engineer Seth Itzkan, a supporter of Savory, in a self-published paper.[34]
Another recent review in the International Journal of Biodiversity also criticized Savory's methods and assertions, finding little peer-review support for many of his more contentious assertions. The authors concluded that: "Ecologically, the application of HM principles of trampling and intensive foraging are as detrimental to plants, soils, water storage, and plant productivity as are conventional grazing systems. Contrary to claims made that HM will reverse climate change, the scientific evidence is that global greenhouse gas emissions are vastly larger than the capacity of worldwide grasslands and deserts to store the carbon emitted each year."[6]
Savory has been criticised by the writer George Monbiot who has looked into the claims made by Savory in a 2014 article in The Guardian. He concluded that there was no scientific evidence to support Savory's claims.[7]

text: Hey there. I have just gone from mostly vegan, never touching meat to primal. I just can't do it, I hunger for meat. My skin already is getting color again and the whites of my eyes are getting clearer. I'm going from about300 grams of carbs a day to 100 which is not super low compared to other diets on this forum but it was enough to give me a stuffy nose and cold and some nausea. Anyone else experience this? I'm just tired in general too, but I'm drinking my tea and dark chocolate and am only on day 4. Can anyone relate out there? You're experience with the low carb flu would seriously benefit me. I'm excited to keep going!

Royal Acres
Best Summer Ever!
By: Tricia Brown (Nov 29, 2012)
I found Royal Acres farm at the beginning of June when my previous CSA decided not to run this season. This summer and fall have been AMAZING!!! John and his whole family run the BEST family farm ever. The produce is always fresh, (John even went as far as to walk to the field and pick me some collard greens one pick up day) the veggies are clean and bug free, and the variety is superior. I love that I get a list early in the week and can pick any 10 items (or 5 if you have a half share) then build my meals around what I'm getting. I never got stuck with something I'd never seen before or didn't know what to do with. I was able to plan my week and get recipes for things I'd never cooked with before. The pick up times were very convenient (and occasionally flexible). I never had to wait more than 5 minutes to pick up my weekly share. John always took the time to say hello and chat a while (sometimes even more than a little while) and I always felt happy and excited on CSA day. On the weeks I was unable to use my share (ie I was away on vacation), John was happy to let a colleague, friend or family member come in my stead.
If you are looking for a farm that treats you (and their product) like family, I highly recommend Royal Acres. I plan to support this farm for many years to come.

10 Reasons Business Blogging is Better than Facebook [Infographic]
Posted on March 25th 2012
This Friday's infographic compares business blogging with Facebook and builds a case as to why blogging is the better marketing strategy.
Now I'm a HUGE Facebook fan myself (especially with the new Timeline!) but if you're not blogging, you're missing out on some important business benefits! In addition trying to build your own brand on someone else's territory is always risky.
Going by my own experience, here are 10 reasons why business blogging is better than Facebook:
Over to you: How do you compare Facebook and business blogging? Which one has worked out better for you?
Patricia, its an interesting piece. I agree with you that having a hub for the valuable content that business entity creates is essential, resting everything on a hired assets like facebook is too much of a dependence. Having said that I would still not select one against the other - when planning a communication strategy and distribution plan for my clients I'd say focusing on a effective communication mix would be essential that needs to include facebook along with blogging (forming a hub of your content) - after all after delivering an experience to target audience on facebook i would eventually want to migrate them to my own dominion as a business entity. This is where I find your proposition to form a content hub is vital.
I agree with your points. Using Facebook and Twitter to drive traffic to your blog completes the strategy.
ShahzebKhan makes a really good point. And I'm not entirely convinced that a blog is for everyone. If they can't invest the time to create a good flow of meaningful content, it goes stale pretty fast. I've been wondering about Facebook notes as a way of posting longer blog-post like pieces, especially when I see we can ad pictures, customize fonts, etc. It seems like a good solution for a brand that can't commit to writing blog posts very often
Really good points. I have to agree. As a new member to the blogging community, I have seen increased exposure and more valuable leads than by simly using FB and Twitter. The great thing about blogging, as me mentioned in your article is that you have control. One great example is the use of google analytics that I have encoded in my blog. Yes there are several ways to keep track of traffic on FB but I think google analytics is more defined and allows you to better strategize on your marketing strategies. Thanks for the info.
Visit my blog at youshouldbemarketing.blogspot.com for quality marketing content.
I agree that it's not an either/or proposition, but I think the infographic helps put the alternatives in perspective and demonstrates that blogging is more powerful than many people realize. Folks who want to learn more about how to use blogging effectively may be interested in a guide I created and recently updated:
Blogging has i's place ..Absolutely! but you can't dispute it's reach and effectiveness for branding.. 900 Million users and Personally I like Facebook: better I liked the fact that not only can you target and get your message out in front of customers locally or demographically but because we also know the things that people like and the things that they talk about in their interest we can target them psychographicly if you know what I mean. I like that Facebook allows you to interact with a wide group of people that are already interested in your product or service.. and you get to be infront of people a LOT longer than in a blog post . So I say from a business standpoint, I think Facebook has a much better way to help brand your business, and create a buzz to drive almost instantaneous traffic..
In fact you may be interested in checking out our social search optimization program to see what I'm talking about.. http://www.thinkbigsites.com/social-search-optimization.html Matt Johnson~
Great information, Patricia. I've been blogging since 2006 and also created blogs for two nonprofits. I left the last one and the last thing I told the CEO was to NOT let the blog die. They are putting a lot into Facebook but they haven't updated the blog since I left. Big mistake in the long run. Facebook is fine and should play a part, but a social media strategy should always revolve around the blog.
Thanks for the graphics.

Oye-yoy-yoy, man oh man,
from Eminem – So Much Better Lyrics on Genius
"Oi" is used to express surprise or can be uttered when someone makes a mistake, like "whoops". It is used in lots of countries like England and Sweden.
As in this case though, three "oi's" in succession can be used after a diss, (just like Eminem does here) it would be equivalent to going "oh damn", "oh shit", "snap" or whatever.
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit "So Much Better" by Eminem Lyrics and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page
