Current and forecasted weather conditions coupled with extremely dry conditions and heavy loading of vegetation throughout the State of Utah have created hazardous fire conditions. As a result, all state and federal lands, and all unincorporated private lands, will be under fire restrictions beginning 12:01 a.m. on June 14, 2012. The restrictions will be in place until the fire hazard subsides.
Fire and State Lands, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service came to the mutual decision on Wednesday.
Each agency has specific restriction orders that may contain different stipulations, but all the orders have in common a prohibition of the following acts:
1.Setting, building, maintaining, attending or using open fires of any kind, except campfires built within the facilities provided for them in improved campgrounds, picnic areas or permanently improved places of habitation.
2.Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared to mineral soil.
3.Discharging, or using any kind of fireworks, tracer ammunition or other pyrotechnic devices.
These restrictions do not apply to lands within incorporated towns and cities; however, each municipality may have similar or more restrictive ordinances.
Questions about specific areas should be directed to local fire officials. For more information on the restrictions, please visit www.utahfireinfo.gov.

I get 4-6 hours of longevity on this, projection is average during that time frame. Spraying on clothes will help extend the scent life.
Thread: Virgin Island Water Longevity? |
To me this is far and away probably the best smelling summer scent (very pleasant) but how is its performance do you find? Anyone getting respectable performance from this (obviously in the summer cause that's the only time to wear this)? I am talking 6-8 hours while still turning heads? I ask cause I really love the scent and want to have this, but I cannot justify paying lots of money if it gets no utility (new batches good?). I'd appreciate any thoughts on this, thanks.
p.s. if you spray this on clothes, do you feel it lasts and projects more?
My sales thread
I get 4-6 hours of longevity on this, projection is average during that time frame. Spraying on clothes will help extend the scent life.
At least 4 to 6, usually longer. Current batches are lovely. Yes, spraying on clothes extends the life.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
Seasonal favorites:
1. Creed - Spice & Wood
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. Xerjoff - Fars
5. Dior - Vetiver
6. Creed - Green Valley
7. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
10. Creed - Royal Scottish Lavender
It does real well on my skin.
My sales thread
It does well on me, more than 5 hours, but generously sprayed. Usually stays close to the skin, it has I can say - an elegant projection.
i get 6-8 hours, low projection but can be detected
Very dismal. 10 mins??
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I Get a solid 6 Hours... Limited Projection but i get a great scent cloud in my own space thats extremely pleasant. I dont really wear this fragrance for others. I wear it for myself. I give one spray to the back of the Neck and One Spray to the base of the Neck. Ive never gotten a compliment on this either. I assume its due to the limited projection.
Added note. Much better than Sel Marin as far as projection and longevity. Sel Marin is one of my favorite scents but I get about 2-3 hours of longevity and thats pushin it and pretty much ZERO projection after 4 sprays.
"Stings the nostrils, in a good way. Im going to be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline."
Current Top 5:
5.) Santa Maria Novella Muschio
4.) Dior Homme Intense ( Vintage )
3.) Dior La Collection Privee Ambre Nuit
2.) Creed Aventus
1.) Xerjoff Ibitira
My sales thread
Seasonal favorites:
1. Creed - Spice & Wood
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. Xerjoff - Fars
5. Dior - Vetiver
6. Creed - Green Valley
7. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
10. Creed - Royal Scottish Lavender
My sales thread
I get surprisingly good longevity with average projection out of my decant, and I'm very fussy with that kind of thing.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
Good longevity in the heat usually 6-8 hours, decent projection for the first hour or two. I wore this a lot when my girlfriend and I went to Antigua, she absolutely loves it on me.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Creed - Spice & Wood

6. Creed - Green Valley
7. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
10. Creed - Royal Scottish Lavender
I get 5-6 hours on my skin, but 8-12 hours if I spray it on my clothing. Good stuff.
I sprayed some on my wrist in shop.
When I got back to my office 50 minutes later, it was totally gone - making it the poorest lasting Creed scent on me that I'd ever tried.
I'd say I get about 6-8 hours with mine. Spraying on clothing definitely increases the projection & longevity.
I get a good 6-8 hours from mine. I have noticed that it becomes a skin scent after about 4 hours. Sparaying on clothes have definitely helped me with longevity as well.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
I tested today. after 30 mins no trace, gone...................
Arent you a little short for a stormtrooper?
2010 batches are good, 2011 batches are even better. Tested and true!!!
Less than an hour on me. I'm amazed people are getting six hours from this!
"If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears."
-Isaac Hayes
Get about 5 hours. But no complaints here. This stuff is good to go for the summer. Rather have something with 5 hours, than 8 hours and not smell as well as this.
8 hours no problem.
If you get more than 4hrs. of decent projection (elbows length) from ANY Creed, consider yourself lucky.
I have no problem with this fragrance. Lasts a good 6-8 hours, especially with one spray to my shirt.
1. Dior Homme Original
2. Musc Ravaguer
3. Portrait of a Lady
4. Noir de Noir
5. L Instant Guerlain pour Homme Extreme
6. New Haarlem
7. Pure Coffee
8. Blu Mediterraneo Sicilian Almond
9. Rose 31
10. Spiritueuse Double Vanille
This one surprised me. One of the longest wearing Creeds on me. All through workday. 8 hours easily.
My SOTD. Got a good 6 hours, started to become a skin scent thereafter. I sprayed once on each inner elbow, one on the chest, and two small sprays on my shirt.
I have the 2010 batch. Overall, I'm satisfied.
Not sure why, but It just seems to last longer on some people compared to others. Friend and I tested using a bottle I picked up, equal amount sprayed to necks and wrists. Lasted 4 hours on me and barely a half hour for him, we thought fatigue may have been a factor, but his fiancé still was able to smell the scents on me and didn't smell anything on him. And as others noted you can also extend it a bit by spraying clothes, nice thing living in Arizona is its almost an 8 month usable fragrance
Ok, I am a girl, so as you can imagine I project less than any of you (or so we can imagine). I also can smell it all day, so others, low/medium sillage, and I find it pleasent any time of the year, even if I understand why you're thinking about this for summer. Is a great scent, really. Is an unisex, as you probably know already, yet usually ladies are not appealed to it, but they do compliment it a lot (on men!!!).
Bad girls don't cry but get even.
I have found with Creed fragrances, the Longevity issue is drastically different with different people for several reasons. I refuse to buy/wear something that I have to bathe in to get any longevity out of. 3 Spritzes should last 8hrs. Some folks argue they get longevity, but when you "read between the lines" they are spraying 5-8 spritzes, spraying clothing, or defining longevity loosely by saying if they bury their nose in their arm and still catch a whiff, it is there. TO me longevity is still smelling it without lifting clothes or body parts to my nose. I have GIT, and it's longevity is 4hrs tops...BUT if I bury my nose in my arm 10hrs later I still smell it.
Like others, I get about 4-6 hours out of it...6 on a good day.

Will Beyoncé Lip-Sync the Super Bowl?

Beyoncé may have lip-synced at President Obama's inauguration, but will she dare lip-sync at the 2013 Super Bowl? "It's very difficult to sing and dance at the same time," Mike Stevens, vocal chair at The Colburn School in Los Angeles, told ABC News. "So I would not be surprised if she lip-syncs."
Lip-syncing may embarrass an artist, but a poor performance can do more damage. ABC reported that The Black Eyed Peas sang live during their Super Bowl halftime performance two years ago, and critics and fans both bashed the band for a bad showing. On the other hand, Madonna lip-synced during the 2012 Super Bowl, and only got a smattering of criticism.

ABCNEWS.GO.COM reports:
Did she or didn't she? There's still no response from Beyonce on whether she was lip-synching her rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" during President Barack Obama's second inauguration on Monday. As the superstar prepares for her Super Bowl halftime performance Feb. 3 in New Orleans, the pressure isn't letting up. All eyes will be on her, paying minute attention to her performance. So will she or won't she lip-sync at the game? That's the big question.

To even mention the Black Eyed Peas and Madonna, really? We all know when it comes to live vocals Beyonce is way above those two acts and in a league of her own. Madonna may have hits spanning an impressive career, but shes known for being provocative, not for her live vocal skills. - shutterbug98 2013/01/30 16:32:57Beyoncé will Lip-SyncAs long as she is lip-synching her own voice, I have no problem with it.

She would not have sounded that way outside while singing. We will just have to see how she does at the Super Bowl.

Comments about GARMIN eTrex 30 GPS:
This model is an improved version of the Garmin Vista. The accuracy, including the altimeter, is great. The manual is definitely lacking, but by reading the professional reviews and experimenting, you can figure it out. The map which comes loaded on the unit is pathetic (missing major highways)but there are terrific free maps available for download that work with Base Camp which you download free from Garmin. I use my GPS mostly for work. I really like the Base Camp feature that links my data right up with Google Earth.

GK Hair Leave-In Conditioner Cream
ShaunieHairDark BrownNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairMakes Brushing My Hair So Much EasierThe best leave in product I have used. My hair is always so tangled after coming out of the shower and takes at least 10-15 minutes to brush. I have straight/wavy long damaged hair. This product not only works but smells great and leaves my hair soft and smooth all day. I use two pumps because of the amount of hair I have and I never have a greasy residue or hard residue that some products leave behind. I will be purchasing this product again.posted Apr 8, 2013Link to this post
CarlaEarthHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairNew Weapon For Transtioning HairOk, so I am new to transitioning hair (for those that don't know that means going from relaxed hair back to your natural locks). I was ready to lose my mind recently and relax my hair again becasue everything I tried was not helping. I could not even get a comb through my hair after washing it (sulphate-free of course!). I had gotten some "keratin" conditioner and leave-in at the local beauty supply. It helped, but I decided to splurge on this to see if there was a difference. Oh my!!! The leave-in cream helped me to comb through my hair extremely easily. I usually roller set my hair and sit under the dryer so I applied one pump of the GK serum (which is awesome also) and then applied some of this leave-in cream to each quardrant. After my hair was dried, I applied one more pump of the serum as I combed out my hair. My hair is so smooth it feels even better than relaxed hair. I can only imagine what my hair would look like if I had flatironed it. There is bounce, shine and most importantly frizz free. And this stuff is really frizz free. The crap I got at the beauty supply store claimed to help with frizz, but this stuff blows them out the water. I DO NOT have a keratin treatment on my hair and don't plan on getting one after this stuff. I wanted to go completely natural. I am extremely excited becasue I know my hair is going to get better and better as the keratin builds up. Sorry for the long review, but I think this is important information for someone who is looking to transition.posted Jul 11, 2012Link to this post
ChiomaNew YorkHairDark BrownRelaxed HairOne Of The Better Leave Ins....I have tried to play around with leave in conditioners, and always come back to this product. When used, my hair becomes soft, manageable, easy to comb, and incredibly shiny. It definitely extends the life of the keratin (if you have one) and is a fantastic leave-in (keratin treatment not necessary). Unfortunately I go through is so fast!! I should buy a larger size next time :-)posted Jul 8, 2012Link to this post
HopeHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairDestroyed My Hair!I have been using this product for about 6 months, on the advice of my old hair stylist. I also used the GK Smoothing Serum. My hair was getting drier and drier and more like straw every day. My stylist kept brushing off my concerns and told me drink more water, take different supplements, don't flat iron, don't blow dry, and on and on and on. Let's just say there were a million excuses. I even had another stylist, when I went for a consultation, tell me that she was correct and it had nothing to do with the product.
I have finally given up on her advice and made a new appointment with an Aveda salon. I actually had to have the severely damaged parts of my hair cut. Additionally, it took nearly 5 minutes to rinse this garbage out of my hair.
Not only would I NEVER purchase these products again, but I would tell anyone considering them to choose a better product. This company is horrible and will destroy your hair.posted May 16, 2012Link to this post -
RenaePhoenix, AZHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLove This Stuff!!I love this leave in conditioner. I have seen and felt great results as soon as the first use, on my daughters hair as well as mine. Leaves our hair super shiny, and soft. Great product!! I would recommend this to my friends and family!posted Feb 14, 2012Link to this post
Jen B.BostonHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairSmells Great, A Little Goes A Long WayMy stylist turned me on to Global Keratin, and I absolutely LOVE the serum! I decided to try the leave in conditioner as I have been getting my hair colored, in an attempt to prevent damaged hair.
A quarter size dollop works best on my hair, mine is thick and down to my middle back, so be careful how much you use, otherwise it may leave it heavy and greasy looking. I also don't put any on my roots, I simply flip the hair over and work from the ends up and sort of work it in as if I were putting my hair into a ponytail.
My hair is normally healthy, but it's fussy. It's thick and wavy, and usually ends up frizzy after styling, so it takes a lot to make it look good. I haven't yet noticed a huge difference in how the hair turns out after blow drying, but the hair smells really good. I just trust that it will do its thing as a leave-in conditioner.posted Nov 15, 2011Link to this post -
Kathy B.North CarolinaHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGlobal Keratin Treatment - Hair HelpI had a Global Keratin Treatment put in my hair by a salon stylist (very expensive); I wanted to be able to process my own style after having the treatment done so I decided to searched the web to find someone/company that would have product in stock that I could use with the Global Keratin Treatment. After searching I found Folica and ordered GK Hair Leave-In Conditioner Cream. I really love it. My hair had become dried out and i could not find anything to put the shine and nourishment back in my hair. Since I've been using this product I can really see a difference in shine, softness and texture of my hair. Although my hair is natural curly, with the Global I can wear it straight or curly and it really stays straight when I exercise and sweat; however, I've found that I wear it curly more now than straight due to the fact that this product gives it such a nice texture and a better or softer curl than what I did have before using this product with my Global Keratin Treatment. I highly recommend it and plan to order me some more before my supply gets too low. The only other thing is I wish that I could get a good shampoo to go with this leave-in condiitioner. Every time I plan to order the color treated shampoo for the Global Keratin Treatment, it is out of stock.posted Oct 1, 2011Link to this post
JenniferNashvilleHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairMakes My Hair Feel Like SilkI got a Keratin straightening treatment and came of Folica to buy some regular conditioner for it. I added this to my cart so I could get over the $50 free shipping cutoff. Thought I would use it for when I went to the pool. Tried it after the shower the other day just to test it, and I LOVE it. Have used it everyday since. Takes any tangles out of my hair and makes it unbelievably soft and silky feeling, but not greasy. Would definitely buy it again.posted May 21, 2011Link to this post
Jody HiginbothamThe Best EverIf you have spent you entire life looking for a line of products that really work, you search is at an end.

I have wavy, color-treated hair that frizzes very easily and this is the best product I have ever used for my hair. I use it as a leave-in product and it leaves my hair smooth & manageable while still being wavy.

So I think putting the pie on a stone towards the end of the bake should do the trick.
@norma427 - I'm using a SS pan though not the dark one you have. I actually considered getting a blue steel pan but when I didn't achieve the crispness I was after with a heavy cast iron pan, I figured it must be my oven and not the pan (in fairness, the bottom was crisper than with the SS pan). Was watching this video on a Brooklyn style Sicilian () and noticed that even for a pie baked in a commercial oven, they deck it at the end to crisp up the bottom. So I think putting the pie on a stone towards the end of the bake should do the trick. What temperature do you usually bake them at?
I remember reading a Slice article on Sicilian pizza where they compared the results of different hydration levels in the dough...from 60% to 80%. They determined that somewhere close to 74% was the ideal hydration level for a crust that was not too airy, nor too dense, and had some chew to it. How does this differ from your experience?...As for fermentation, how much more yeast would you recommend for an overnight fermentation? Next time I'm going to go with a 1-3 day cold ferment. Would the 0.4% IDY be sufficient for a longer ferment?

The Aroma of the Knowledge of God: How the Sense of Smell Inspires Worship and Awe
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Russell Crowe as Noah was no superhero. He was very human—perhaps too human for those who'd prefer he remain in the flannel graph world of our Sunday School stories.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
As a Christian, I can't think of a more beautiful process for God to have blessed the production of the elements that we need for life than the beauty of stars. In fact, we are told that we shine like stars in the universe.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.

Rough road likely ahead for mapping the human brain
Blog Entry:
April 03, 2013 10:42 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A quick-hit edition:
Cleveland Clinic
neurologist is quoted in
Wall Street Journal
of the government's ambitious project to map the human brain, detailed Tuesday by President Barack Obama.
The bottom line? The project "faces uncertain funding and scientific challenges that could impede its success,"
The Journal
The project is pegged to receive $100 million for its first year under the White House budget plan. But the president acknowledges Washington's strained politics and tight finances "may make it difficult to ultimately secure that funding," according to the newspaper.
A brain map could improve the treatment of schizophrenia, epilepsy and other disorders,
The Journal
says. It also could help "develop novel technologies to produce images showing the brain at work — how, for example, a memory gets formed, how it is stored and how it is retrieved."
But a major scientific hurdle is that "there are as many neurons, or nerve cells, in the human brain — about 100 billion — as there are stars in the Milky Way,"
The Journal
Dr. Javier Provencio, who specializes in brain injuries at the Cleveland Clinic, tells the newspaper that the project will yield benefits but is unlikely to provide a complete map of the brain.
"For very simple things like going from thinking about your arm to actually moving your arm, it's a pretty straightforward system, and we know what the connections are," Dr. Provencio said. "Now try (understanding the circuitry) behind hunger, or being scared. …It's simplistic to say we're going to map all of that."
It will be fun to have Kevin Costner shoot the coming "Draft Day" in Cleveland, but the
economic impact estimates
from the state of Ohio aren't all that exciting.
From the state's March 29 news release about the film, which starts shooting in May:
The shoot will take approximately 100 days, and the crew will need some help from the local public. More than 1,200 extras will be used in the production of this film. And when it's all said and done, approximately $1 million will be spent in Ohio thanks to this movie.
All that for $1 million?
The Ohio Film Office says the state's Motion Picture Tax Credit has attracted 47 movies, TV series and commercials since the start of fiscal year 2010.
"To date, the Ohio Film Office has provided more than $58 million in tax credits to Ohio productions, which have employed more than 20,000 Ohioans and contributed nearly $205 million to Ohio's economy," the state says.
In other words, the economic payoff is pretty modest.
You know how we've heard businesses are very eager for meaningful tax reform in Washington, D.C.?
Shockingly, this seems
not to be the case
From Politico.com:
At first, it seemed like an idea the White House, Congress and corporate America could all agree on. Every company would play by the same tax rules: They would give up their special tax breaks in exchange for lowering the basic tax rate from 35 percent to as little as 25 percent.
But with Congress starting to dig into the details, many captains of industry are backpedaling — and fast.
The corporations aren't keen on giving up the special tax breaks that have let many of them pay Uncle Sam less than advertised for years. And they've gone on the offense to protect their favorite loopholes.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wants any tax rewrite to protect breaks for capital investments, such as new machinery. Pharmaceutical and tech companies are telling the House Ways and Means Committee that R&D credits should be preserved. Energy companies don't want the treatment of expenses related to drilling touched.
"They're all excited that we're looking at this opportunity, but they're also nervous about what we might do," says Rep.
Pat Tiberi
, a Republican from suburban Columbus who is the Ways and Means subcommittee chairman. "There are companies today that have an effective rate in the single digits who wouldn't like the fact that we're going to take away credits and deductions to make (the tax code) simpler."
We all knew the recession was bad, but
these numbers
still are pretty shocking.
"February's median annual household income (of $51,404) was 5.6 percent lower than it was in June 2009, the month the recovery technically began; 7.3 percent lower than in December 2007, when the most recent recession officially started; and 8.4 percent lower than in January 2000, the earliest date that this statistical series became available,"
The New York Times
reports, based on income data compiled by Sentier Research.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (6/8/13) – Kentucky's dairy farmers and processors provide dairy products that supply calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals. But many do even more, Agriculture Commissioner James Comer said as he commemorated June Dairy Month in Kentucky.
"Kentucky's dairy farms have adapted to keep going in today's agricultural economy," Commissioner Comer said. "Some have consolidated to take advantage of economies of scale. Others have adopted time-saving and labor-saving technological advances. Still others produce unique value-added products and even open their farms to tourists. I appreciate Kentucky's dairy farmers for all they do for Kentucky families."
Kentucky has dairy operations and processors that produce ice cream, artisan cheese, goat cheese, and sheep cheese as well as fluid milk. Nine commercial fluid milk processors are scattered throughout the commonwealth.
Kentucky producers received more than $232 million in cash receipts from sales of dairy products in 2011, the National Agricultural Statistics Service reported. Kentucky had 792 dairy farms as of February, according to Eunice Schlappi, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's dairy marketing specialist. Many of the dairy farms were clustered in south-central Kentucky and in southwestern Kentucky along the Tennessee border. At least two Kentucky counties, Christian and Todd, are seeing growth in numbers of dairy farms.
The Lexington Legends will salute Kentucky's dairy industry on June 11, and the Bowling Green Hot Rods will follow suit on June 20. Adair, Barren, Hart, and several other dairy-producing counties will host local events to celebrate Kentucky's dairy industry.
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture helps Kentucky dairy farmers and processors find new markets for their products and conducts dairy cattle shows across the state. The department and the Kentucky Dairy Development Council take Kentucky Kate, a milkable fiberglass cow, to schools, fairs, and festivals where kids and adults alike can try their hand at milking.

The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center dedicated a new instructional building in memory of Alfie Khalil, who worked at the Institute for 27 years, 17 of which were spent as union leader.
A bronze plaque was unveiled and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was performed by DLIFLC Commandant Col. Danial D. Pick, Alfie's brother, Hany Khalil, and Congressman Sam Farr. The event drew more than 100 faculty, staff, Khalil family members, local politicians, and guests.
"I am deeply humbled to be present at this ribbon cutting," said Hany Khalil. "I would like to convey my joy and gratitude that you named this building after my brother." To hear Mr. Khalil's impressions of the new building, please click here.
"This is a very exciting day for me because it is a wonderful building about languages and think it is the future of the world… but more importantly because it is being named after a good friend – Alfie Khalil. He was almost bigger than life…. He was the face of DLI," said Congressman Farr. To hear more from Congressman Sam Farr please click here.
Members of the Khalil family traveled from Egypt to participate in the event, despite recent unrest in the country. Alfie Khalil died on Nov. 18, 2006.
DLIFLC Commandant Col. Danial D. Pick described, for our camera, what happened after the ribbon cutting. To watch it please click here.

White Sox, Rockies ready for Interleague showdown
Paulino will oppose Lyles in opener of three-game series at Coors Field
White Sox general manager Rick Hahn took a verbal trip to the gridiron in order to provide a frame of reference for where his team stands in the here and now as part of a 162-game baseball season.
With the South Siders getting ready for their seventh game of the campaign on Monday night in Colorado, also marking their first night contest, they are essentially at the equivalent of halftime of the first game of a 16-game NFL season according to Hahn. So, Hahn was hesitant to draw any overriding conclusions about this reshaped version of his team.
"I will say the first five games [before Sunday], we've shown from an offensive standpoint that we're going to grind out every game till the end," Hahn said. "That we have the heart and grind to get back in games, that things aren't over if we're down 3-1 in the sixth inning.
"It's the same higher level of life, energy and competitiveness we saw in Glendale [Spring Training in Arizona] that has carried into the regular season which is good. But to draw any conclusions about any individual performance is too early for that."
Colorado carries a 3-4 record into this Interleague matchup, pitting Felipe Paulino for the White Sox and Jordan Lyles for the Rockies on the mound. The White Sox swept three games at Coors Field during their memorable run to the 2005 World Series crown and then finished 2-1 in Denver during their '11 series. The Rockies took two of three in Chicago in a 2008 matchup.
Charlie Blackmon finished the Arizona series going 10-for-14 with a home run, three doubles, five RBIs, five runs and a stolen base, but he certainly isn't the only threat for the Rockies.
"Every single guy in the lineup is dangerous," Colorado outfielder Carlos Gonzalez said. "It's going to be more than just [Troy Tulowitzki], [Michael Cuddyer], and CarGo. We need every single guy here, especially those young guys who step up and do what they're doing right now.
"Good Rockies teams come back from behind. When we have that confidence in the dugout, it's amazing. You go out and battle every single pitch and believe in yourself and in the team. That's the one thing that we were talking about."
One interesting side note from this series is that White Sox pitchers will get a chance to hit. They took batting practice over the weekend in Kansas City, with a focus on bunting per manager Robin Ventura, after working a little bit in this area during Spring Training.
White Sox: Left field possible but not likely for Dunn
With no designated hitter in play over the three Interleague games at Coors Field, Ventura has given some thought to using Adam Dunn in left field.
Dunn has played 1,019 career games in left field, but has played in the outfield for just 10 games since coming to Chicago in 2011.
"It has been brought up, but it's hard just to stick a guy out there, especially there where the outfield is so big," Ventura said. "We've thought of it. There's a possibility, a slim one, but there's a possibility."
Alejandro De Aza has jumped out to a strong start with three homers as the White Sox left fielder, and Dayan Viciedo also has hit the ball well in his opportunities. Dunn could take a game for Avisail Garcia in right, with right-handers Lyles and Juan Nicasio starting on Monday and Wednesday. There could even be a day to give Jose Abreu a break.
But as the lineup is presently constructed, it looks as if Dunn will be on the bench until the White Sox return home on Thursday to face the Indians.
"You lose one of your guys and we now have a couple of them that more than likely go to a pinch-hit role," Ventura said of the adjustment to Interleague in the National League ballparks.
Rockies: Logan ready to return
Reliever Boone Logan will likely come off the disabled list on Monday and make his Rockies debut during the White Sox series, against the team who presented his Major League break.
The left-handed pick-up from the Yankees is expected to bolster the bullpen, bringing four successive seasons with an ERA of 3.74 or lower to his new club and 51 or more appearances in each of those seasons on his resume. The Rockies are currently carrying seven relievers, and will likely keep everyone, sending one of their six outfielders to Triple-A Colorado Springs to get more at-bats.
Logan pitched for Colorado Springs in New Orleans Thursday and Friday, and appeared sharp in both outings, striking out the only batter he faced on three pitches on Friday. He was placed on the disabled list with left elbow inflammation on March 28, retroactive to March 21.
"That was a good test for him," manager Walt Weiss said of the back-to-back appearances. "It went real well. We'll try to be smart about getting him back in there."
Worth noting
• Cuddyer has a seven-game hitting streak going to start the season. Cuddyer is hitting .433 (13-for-30) for the season with two homers, two doubles, six runs and seven RBIs. He is tied with Paul Goldschmidt for the longest streak to start the season.
• Through six games, Adam Eaton has been as good as advertised at the top of the White Sox lineup and in center field.
"Frankly since the phone call welcoming him to the organization, he's the guy who we thought he was based on our reports and background research," Hahn said. "A high energy guy who will fight through every at-bat, play good defense and run well, and set the tone, not just at the top, but through the lineup as we expected."
• The White Sox April opponents combined for a .532 winning percentage in 2013, the third-highest mark in the American League behind the Orioles (.547) and Angels (.533).
• Paul Konerko needs two hits to reach 2,300 for his career and five total bases to break Frank Thomas' franchise record of 3,949.
