• Enquirer reporter Sharon Coolidge's use of open records law documented Cincinnati's lax enforcement of lead paint removal orders. She told CityBeat that her coverage included positive impacts in addition to those above in my main column:
The day after her story was published, Mayor Mark Mallory ordered health officials to explain why they hadn't forced problem landlords to clean up their properties.
Three public hearings led to a comprehensive city plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning by 2010. The plan lowers the medical threshold at which health officials can intervene, thus catching lead poisoning in its earliest stages.
City Council gave the health department more than $1 million to finance reforms. Poor families are getting kits to detect whether their homes are contaminated.
In one of his first acts as new governor, Ted Strickland allowed cities to sue lead-paint producers; Cincinnati is suing Sherwin-Williams.
State lawmakers are considering a new law, named after a family featured in the Enquirer story, to provide $20,000 grants for lead removal.
• A more recent public benefit from open records laws involved the Enquirer suit to obtain secret streetcar vendors' bids. Attorney Jack Greiner, who handles First Amendment issues for the paper, said that Cincinnati's ordinance requires bids be available for public review. Faced with resistance, the Enquirer went to court. Hamilton County appellate judges agreed with the paper, rejecting company arguments that records were exempt from public records law as "trade secrets."
• Unless you're living under a Rock of Cliches, you've read or heard that flu is sweeping the nation. Every sneeze, every cough, every chill and shiver warns us that the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse is tethering his pale horse at our curb. The catch is that despite breathless news media offerings, little unusual is happening except for an early, aggressive onset of the perennial scourge. Thousands die every year from flu, most of them elderly. It would be news if we didn't. Annual death estimates — hampered by incomplete reporting and similar health problems — range from 3,000 to 49,000.
• An Enquirer Sunday Forum carried Michael Kinsley's column about Hillary Clinton's extensive foreign travel as secretary of state. Kinsley doubts the value of much of her travel but in today's world, "The less important the trip, the more prestige you gain by taking it." Having time and money to waste proves you have time and money to waste . . . even if you're on the taxpayers' clock and paycheck. Maybe that explains an otherwise inexplicable Enquirer revelation that Steve Chabot is a foreign policy expert, citing his extensive foreign travel at taxpayer expense.
• Enquirer reporter Dan Horn produced two nay-saying front page stories. Both were welcome surprises from Cincinnati's "get on the team" daily. One questioned the argument that right-to-work laws provide an economic boost in states like Indiana, Michigan, or, potentially, Ohio. That anti-union policy was a staple topic in my 1950s high school debating days. Economic analysis, like divining why crime rates change, is more complicated than whether union membership is optional or required in a "union shop." Too many union/right-to-work debates — fueled by no-compromise advocates putting re-election before public benefit — ignore complexity.
• A second invocation of skepticism by the Enquirer's Dan Horn raised serious doubts about feel-good gun buy-back programs. I'll go this far on guns: each firearm bought back and destroyed (not bought back and sold to dealers for resale) is a gun that won't kill someone. Cincinnati Police destroy buy-back weapons not needed for investigations. Buy-back, however, won't change life on Cincinnati streets where scores of young men kill each other each year. Anyone who wants a firearm can get one faster than you can say, "Your money or your life." Similar doubts about Cincinnati's gun buy-back program made Page 1 of the New York Times.
• Fox 19's Dave Culbreth came up with a smart take on the controversial idea of arming teachers and school administrators. He interviewed Target World assistant manager Amy Hanlon who demonstrated how a woman could carry a concealed handgun. As Culbreth noted, there was nothing special about her clothing: slacks, blouse, overshirt. By the end of the interview, she'd removed nine concealed semi-automatics or revolvers, including one tucked under her bra in a holster that also was displayed on a counter-top mannequin bust.
• WCPO-TV plans an online local news challenge to the Enquirer's Cincinnati.com, according to Business Courier's Jon Newberry. It's a pioneering effort by Cincinnati-based E. W. Scripps that could go national, Newberry suggested. Whether additional reporters, producers, editors, etc., will come from the Business Courier and other established news media was not clear. Scripps — a Cincinnati-based national print and broadcast company— published the Cincinnati Post until it closed the barely-sustaining joint operating agreement with the Enquirer ended in 2007.
• Blogger Peter Heimlich tipped me to Channel 19 anchor Ben Swann's web gig called Full Disclosure. Swann says there are enough witnesses to challenge official police narratives of single shooters at three recent massacres: the Oak Creek, Wis., Sikh temple; Aurora, Colo., Batman movie premiere, and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Salon.com challenged Swann about his apparent validation of those counter-narratives and he replied in part, "The bottom line for me is the issue of asking questions. As you will notice, I don't call these operations 'false flag' as many people do … (his ellipses) But as a journalist, that is not my job. Rather, my job is to be a critical thinker." And he added, "most of our media fail to question stories . . . a journalist's job is not to have the answers, it is to ask the questions and search for truth."
• There's a pathetic undercurrent in the Enquirer's Monday Page 1 profile of Henry Heimlich's efforts to regain American Red Cross support for his eponymous "maneuver." The physician claims there is no research to support the Red Cross's decision to return to back slaps rather than Heimlich abdominal thrusts as first response to choking. Other than Heimlich's self-serving claims, there is no research proving his maneuver works as well or better than back slaps. Assertions are not evidence. Moreover, the Red Cross adopted Heimlich's maneuver years ago without the research Heimlich is calling for now. Heimlich has anecdotal evidence of lives saved but that's not research. Wisely, reporter Cliff Radel quoted skeptics and critics of the maneuver. That kind of even-handedness usually escapes admiring Enquirer stories about Heimlich. And if the paper ever corrected a Memorial Day feature on water safety, I missed it. The Enquirer drew national ridicule with its illustration on how to use Heimlich's maneuver to revive a standing near-drowning victim.
• It's spitting into the wind to ask sports reporters to question what jocks tell them, especially when truth-telling endangers future access. In the Good Old Days, who read about fornicating, drunken and racist professional athletes? More recently, golf reporters and publications didn't write about married Tiger Woods' screwing around. This time, it's Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o's stories about the heart-ripping death of girlfriend Lennay Kekua from leukemia. Editors loved it. Now, it seems she was a fiction amplified by incurious and credulous reporters. It took sports blog Deadspin.com to reveal the fraud after its reporters could find no public records of her birth, life, education or death. Almost as nauseating as the saccharine original stories about her death are the faux introspection by sycophant reporters caught by the fraud.
• We've gone a week without a promo for Oprah's interview with champion liar-cheater Lance Armstrong. That's closure. So what does Armstrong do now? Pitch performance enhancing drugs and blood transfusions on ESPN and late TV?
• Al
Gore sold his troubled Current cable network to Al Jazeera, the
satellite network based in Qatar in the Persian Gulf. Good. Nothing bars
foreigners from owning a cable network here, unlike the law that forced
Australian Rupert Murdoch to obtain U.S. citizenship after he bought Fox.
Backed by the ruling Qatari emir, Al Jazeera scandalized Americans for broadcasting tirades by Osama bin Laden and other anti-western Arab leaders. We should have welcomed what they said in Arabic for home audiences. Too often, we rely on sanitized remarks for non-Arabic-speaking audiences or Washington assurances it was trying to verify that speakers were who they said they were. Al Jazeera also infuriated Arab audiences by carrying interviews with American and Israeli officials that others in the Middle East ignored or rejected.
Most American cable companies won't carry the newer Al Jazeera English but its website is one of my daily stops, especially when, say, AQIM kidnaps oil workers in Algeria or French Legionnaires assist Mali's pathetic army in trying to halt and turn back Islamist rebels.
Al Jazeera coverage of "Arab Spring" was so aggressive that embattled North African rulers correctly accused it of supporting anti-government demonstrators. So is Al Jazeera open to interference by the Qatari government? Yes. Are its biases plain to anyone who listens or reads? Yes. We don't ignore Fox News for its biases.
• American news media employ local nationals in foreign bureaus for their contacts and language skills. That reliance failed when no one reported the 2010 anti-semitic rant by Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood leader who now is Egypt's president. In part, Morsi called Jews "apes and dogs" and shared the fantasy that the Palestinian Authority was "created by the Zionist and American enemies for the sole purpose of opposing the will of the Palestinian people and its interests."
Still nastier, he urged listeners "to nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for them: for Zionists, for Jews . . . bloodsuckers who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs."
A stump speech in his Nile Delta hometown, it took more than two years to reach English-language news media. The original Arabic video is on YouTube now. I encountered a translation of Morsi this month on a Forbes website that, in part, chided the New York Times for missing or killing the story. Days later, it was on Page 1 of the Times. After that, the Obama administration an official "tut-tut."
• Maybe they'll blame one of those ominous Canadian Cold Air Masses (meteorological, not theological) for the brain freeze that disabled news judgment at the Toronto Star. Flippant columns about rape aren't funny. Jimromenesko.com posted these first two paragraphs of Rosie DiManno's column about testimony during the sexual abuse trial of a local physician:
"She lost a womb but gained a penis.
"The former was being removed surgically — full hysterectomy — while the latter was forcibly shoved into her slack mouth..."
• Headlines are an art that always risks a step too far in an attempt to cure the copy editor boredom and draw readers to a story. This one, from philly.com, achieves both in what has become a national story about a popular and well-connected parish pastor: "Catholic priest/meth dealer liked sex in the rectory." You know you'd read more.
• Finally, this from Shannyn Moore, who blogs on HuffPost as "Just a Girl from Homer, Alaska." It appeared first in the Anchorage Daily News and makes her points without venturing beyond the pale into bad taste: "I'm not advocating for no guns. I like mine and am not about to give them up. But in this country, my uterus is more regulated than my guns. Birth control and reproductive health services are harder to get than bullets. What is that about? Guns don't kill people — vaginas do?"
Despite all of the incessant hype, there actually are other things going on in the world besides the Super Bowl. So, grab your beverage of choice, sit back and we'll tell you about a few of them. (And we promise nary a mention of Tom Brady or Eli Manning. Well, after this paragraph, that is.)
A study by Chicago University's Booth Business School found that the use of social media might be more addictive than cigarettes or alcohol. A team used BlackBerrys to gauge the willpower of 205 people between the ages of 18 and 85 in and around the German city of Würtzburg. The researchers say sex and sleep still appear to be stronger urges, but tweeting and checking email are more irresistible to some people than smoking or drinking.
With 273 days remaining until the presidential election, some of our readers might already be getting sick of listening to the latest blather from the candidates. Still, a rather blistering analysis of President Obama's recent actions at Politico is worth checking out. Maybe this line will pique your interest: "So much for the high road: Victory is more important than purity … He's made a series of calculated, overtly political gestures that are far more transactional than transformational."
The anti-abortion politician who urged Susan G. Komen for the Cure to pull its funding from Planned Parenthood has resigned from the charity.
Karen Handel, who was Komen's vice president of public policy, submitted her resignation letter today, the Associated Press reported. Handel said she stands by her goal of ending grants to Planned Parenthood and is disappointed that Komen leaders reversed the decision after public outcry.
People are feeling better about downtown and Over-the-Rhine, according to a new survey. Out of respondents who said they visited downtown, about 83 percent said their opinion of Over-the-Rhine was more favorable now than it was in the last year. Bars and parks topped activities, while dining and events on Fountain Square topped attractions.
The E.W. Scripps Company posted its best TV revenues ever thanks to the presidential election. The company's consolidated revenues rose 31 percent to $220 million. The company recently netted a $750,000 tax break from Cincinnati City Council to hire for 125 new local jobs and retain 184 current employees.
The University of Cincinnati's Women's Health Center will open a branch in West Chester in spring 2013. The new offices will have 47 exam rooms, large and small conference rooms, a retail store and a café.
Ohio Republicans are renewing their anti-abortion agenda. Much to the dismay of pro-choice groups, Gov. John Kasich appointed two people from Ohio Right to Life to important positions, and the Ohio Senate is now looking into a new version of the heartbeat bill. Starting with a hearing Wednesday, Ohio Republicans will also move to defund Planned Parenthood.
In his post-election presser, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted suggested basing Ohio's electoral vote on congressional districts. Due to how Republicans redrew district boundaries, that would have given Mitt Romney most of Ohio's electoral votes even though Romney lost the popular vote. Districts were redrawn by the Republican-controlled process to give Republicans an advantage in congressional races. The First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, was redrawn to include Republican-leaning Warren County, which shifted the district in favor of Republicans and diluted Cincinnati's Democratic-leaning urbanites. The proposal seems like another attempt at voter suppression from a secretary of state that has been heavily criticized for how he and his party handled the run-up to the election.
Redistricting also helped Ohio Republicans take Congress.
Last-minute negotiations may push Ohio's puppy mills bill to the finish line. The state currently has a reputation as one of the worst for abusive puppy mills, and the bill would try to place some additional regulations on the mills. CityBeat previously covered the puppy mill and dog auction problem in Ohio.
A new study found Ohio may be one of the worst states to retire in.
The state did poorly in terms of property crime and life expectancy of
seniors, but it was found to have good economic conditions, a
relatively low tax burden and lower-than-average cost of living.
Ohioans' food stamp benefits will drop by $50 a month next year. The change is coming due to a shift in how the federal government calculates utility expenditures for food stamp recipients.
Ohio's Third Grade Guarantee, which requires holding back third-graders who do not meet state reading standards, now has some research supporting it. A new study found girls who struggle to read early on are more likely to become teen mothers. However, other research shows holding kids back hurts more than helps. After reviewing decades of research, the National Association of School Psychologists found grade retention has "deleterious long-term effects," both academically and socially.
In response to President Barack Obama's re-election, the infamous boss of Ohio-based Murray Energy fired more than 150 workers around the country. One of those workers decided to leak a letter from the boss. The letter blames the firings on Obama's supposed "war on coal," but it's likely the coal industry would be facing trouble even if Obama wasn't in office.
Climate change just got a lot worse. It might make some coffee beans go extinct.
Two gay penguins became dads at the Odense Zoo in Denmark.
Ever wanted a microscopic glimpse at a Pop Tart? Well, you're getting it anyway.
Even though he has criticized super PACs in the past, President Obama has decided he will allow a pro-Democratic one to assist him in his reelection bid. Priorities USA Action, a super PAC founded by two former White House aides, will help Obama counter the deluge of money being raised by GOP groups during the 2012 election cycle.
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney told a conservative radio talk show host on Monday that he doesn't support funding for Planned Parenthood and believes Susan G. Komen for the Cure should have stuck by its original decision to pull grants from the organization.
Abortion-rights supporters pushed against a bill that will kill some funds for Planned Parenthood in Ohio yesterday. The bill would shift $2 million in federal funds, which legally can't be used for abortions, from Planned Parenthood to other family services. An Ohio House committee will hold hearings and possibly vote on the bill later today. Planned Parenthood has been a target for anti-abortion activists all around the nation in recent years, even though abortions only make up 3 percent of its services.
The election is over for us, but it's not quite over for Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted. A court ruled yesterday that Husted was in the wrong when he directed a last-minute change to Ohio's provisional ballot rules. U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley wrote that the rules, which shifted the burden of identification for provisional ballots from poll workers to voters, were "a flagrant violation of a state elections law." Husted will appeal the ruling. For many voter activists, the ruling comes as no surprise. Husted and Republicans have been heavily criticized for how they handled the lead-up to the election.
The Ohio House will vote on legislation to regulate puppy mills. Ohio is currently known as one of the worst states for puppy mills and regulations surrounding them. The Humane Society of the United States supports extra limits on Ohio's puppy mills. CityBeat previously covered the issue and how it enables Ohio dog auctions.
John Cranley is running for mayor. Cranley, who served on City Council between 2001 and 2007, promises to bring "bring fresh energy and new ideas to the mayor's office." One of those ideas could be opposition to the streetcar, which Cranley has been against in the past. Former mayor Charlie Luken will be the honorary chairman of Cranley's campaign, which will officially launch at an event in January.
The Ohio Department of Development and Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority will meet on Dec. 14 to discuss how to finance the Brent Spence Bridge. The Port Authority suggested tolls
to help pay for the bridge project, which has been labeled the region's
top transportation priority; but critics say an unelected agency should
not directly impose costs on the public without some recourse.
The city of Cincinnati might buy Tower Place Mall and its neighboring garage. An emergency ordinance was submitted to buy the mall and garage, which are currently in foreclosure, for $8.6 million using the surplus from the Parking Facilities Fund 102.
The third RootScore report for Cincinnati's cell phone market found Verizon to be far and away the best. AT&T, T-Mobile and Cricket followed. Sprint did the worst.
Ohio will let the federal government run the state's health care exchange. Under the Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — states must decide by Friday to self-manage or let the federal government manage exchanges, which are subsidized markets that pits different insurance plans in direct competition within a state. The move comes as no surprise from Gov. John Kasich and his administration, which have opposed Obamacare since it passed in 2010. But support for repealing Obamacare is plummeting, a new poll found.
A state legislator introduced a long-expected plan to reform Ohio's school report card system. The bill will shift school grading from the current system, which grades schools with labels ranging from "excellent with distinction" to "academic emergency," to a stricter A-to-F system. A simulation of the new system back in May showed Cincinnati Public School dropping in grades and 23 of its schools flunking.
After a strange bout of Ohio Supreme Court races that continued a trend of candidates with Irish-sounding names winning, some policymakers are considering reforming campaigning rules for the Ohio Supreme Court. The proposed reforms would allow candidates to speak more freely and show political party affiliation on the ballot.
A true American hero: A Hamilton man took personal injuries from a car accident to avoid hitting a cat.
Ever wish political pundits were held accountable for their completely inane, incorrect predictions? A new Tumblr account does just that.
Canadian doctors claim they managed to communicate with a man in a vegetative state to see if he's in pain. Thankfully, he's not.

Where Were You? by Garry O'Neill
Monday, 11th Mar 2013
Born and raised in Dublin, Garry O'Neill has always had an interest in his home city's local youth culture. Having collected Dublin street style photographs and memorabilia for several years, and noticing that there was little out there to document it; Garry set out to create a subcultural history of Dublin from the 1950s to the turn of the millennium. Teaming up with graphic designer and illustrator Niall McCormack, the pair spent over eighteen months collating hundreds of images to create Where Were You? Dublin Youth Culture & Street Style 1950 - 2000.
"The early seventies bootboy photos were probably the hardest to track down" remembers O'Neill. "I advertised around the city with posters and flyers for a couple of years. Most people were only too willing to help out as it was something that was going to, in some way, document their scene. It was difficult at first to track down good quality older material, like the fifties and sixties stuff, but it eventually turned up due to the length of time I spent looking for it."
Belvedere Boys Club - Mid 60s - photo contributed by Martin Coffey
Speaking of his own experiences with various street styles and groups, O'Neill says: "I liked and had lots of different clothes that are associated with one scene or another, but I've never wore them in any uniformed way. I loved punk, but I never felt like dressing up as a green hedgehog to convey that. You can be as anti-mainstream/establishment in a suit as you can in Doc Martens and studded leather jacket. Personally I liked the original suedehead scene from the early seventies, it was neat and stylish." The author's broad-minded approach is reflected in the book's content, which features images of groups ranging from mods, skins and teds to goths, new romantics, hippies and ravers.
Bray - Mid 60s - photo contributed by Brona Long
As O'Neill acknowledges in Where Were You? music and street tribes are indelibly linked. "Music was a huge influence, if you were into a certain kind of music; chances are you'd dress in a similar way to the groups or singers. The majority of the youth culture groups that we know, started on the back of some kind of music movement."
O'Connell Street - Mid 80s - photo contributed by Dublin Opinion.
Noting the significance of the Fred Perry Shirt, O'Neill says: "it appears in the book in various photos - what started life as a sport shirt, has become a readily identifiable item of youth culture clothing around the globe, from the original mods and skinheads of the sixties to the football casuals of the 80s, the Britpop kids of the 90s and everything in-between. It's an iconic piece of clothing in the same way as the steel-toe boot or the parka jacket."
Of the hundreds of personal images captured in the book, is there one that stands out for O'Neill?
"If I had to pick one, it would probably be the photo of the two lads on page 114. It's from 1974 and they're wearing crombie coats, pinstriped parallel trousers, polished George Webb type shoes, bowler hats and umbrellas; they almost look like two city gents. The look is certainly influenced by the Clockwork Orange film, more than any music movement."
Find out more about Where Were You? on the book's official website or Facebook page.

Partnership plans themes for Friday Night LiveBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | April 17,2013Friday Night Live will have a different theme each week this summer.
What it has turned into is the same thing every week and theres less reason to come down to it, said Laura Conti, a marketing staffer for the Downtown Rutland Partnership.
The partnership announced a revamped summer events schedule this week.
The season kicks off May 3, the day before Green Up Day, with an effort to green up downtown. Conti said Green Up Day has not typically focused on downtown, and she was inspired by the way the Vermont Country Store has its employees clean the surrounding area. Downtown employees, she said, can tackle the sidewalks and facades.
We wanted to organize it statewide, she said. There are 24 downtown districts, but we came up with the idea a little late.
May 4 brings an amateur car show downtown, organized by the Devils Bowl Speedway.
The calendar stays quiet until June 21, when the DRP marks the solstice with a circus-themed event.
Were still booking it, but I hope to have a little petting zoo no elephants or anything like that, she said. Well have clowns and magicians circus kind of acts.
The pace picks up in July, starting with a sports-themed event July 12. Conti said the DRP will organize various games and competitions on Center Street.
July 19 will be given over to the arts, with the annual Trash2Art display and live performances, and July 26 will feature local musicians in an unplugged night.
On Friday, Aug. 2, and Saturday Aug. 3, is the premier of SummerFest, the event taking the place of the Ethnic Festival and Sidewalk Sales. The new event, Conti said, will feature vendors of food and other products made in Vermont.
We dont do Vermont very much in Rutland, shes aid. It was a good opportunity to celebrate Vermont. Were working with a lot of the larger Vermont product-makers. Itll be the farmers market crowd, but what if we can also get Hubbardton Forge or Simon Pearce?
Like with the circus, Conti said vendors were still being lined up.
The Killington Classic brings motorcyclists to town Aug. 30.
The final event, planned for a Saturday or Sunday in September, is an Antiques Roadshow-style fair where district businesses appraise items brought to Center Street. Conti said the DRP may hold an auction at the end for anyone who wants to sell what they brought.

Next, he appealed to the three-judge panel of Fresno Superior Court, arguing in a legal brief that the iPhone has a flashlight feature and other functions that can be useful to a driver and aren't as dangerous as texting or talking. That hearing last all of 30 seconds because no one from the CHP or district attorney's office appeared to oppose the appeal by Spriggs.
Posted 09 April 2013 - 16:08
So would he be in this much trouble if it were a paper map? That should have been his argument. Those are much more time-consuming and distracting to read since there isn't a big arrow telling you where you are and orienting itself properly and etc.
Spriggs, who graduated from law school but is not a practicing attorney, represented himself before the commissioner and then the appeals panel. He initially brought a paper map to court to argue that it was legal to hold it while driving. Not persuaded, the traffic court commissioner found him guilty.

I've just bought a perfect, new copy of this lovely hardback book from a branch of the Publishers' Book Clearance stores (Darlington Cornmill shopping centre). They are the chain that usually sell everything for around £2, which is what my book cost. The Darlo branch had about seven copies left.
This is only the second time I've ever seen anything related to Terry's work in one of the stores. The first was a copy of Maskerade in a posh presentation binding, also £2. I found that mixed in with the books for older children. I'm sorry the book wasn't a best-seller, but at least my buying it saved it from being pulped. What a horrible fate.

|Louise M. Dutton
Normally we keep our focus on dairy products (because that's our area of expertise), but we get a lot of questions about how to make "cheese" from soybeans.
Recently, Louise Dutton from Fort Lauderdale, FL wrote to us with her own recipes for making soy cottage cheese, yogurt and cream cheese. She wrote:
I've attached a doc file with the recipe for making soy cheese, as well as soy yogurt and milk. You can also use this "cheese" in cheesecakes. I use a bit of Mirin in my cheesecake recipe and no one can even tell it's made from soy. (Mirin is a sweet Japanese condiment.)
Although I have never tried it, I would think that by adding nutritional yeast to the cheese it would make it taste a bit like cheddar. I used to make gallon jars of the milk and put some aside for yogurt and cheese.
I also make my own tofu from this recipe as well. After straining the milk, add nigiri or vinegar to the slurry and it acts much like cheese curds you put into molds, but it's tofu. The tofu "whey" can be used to clean with, cook with, or feed to your plants.
I hope this was helpful. I've been making this for well over 20 years. The original recipe was from "The Farm Vegetarian Cooking" printed in 1975, but I've added what works for me.
Louise Dutton's Soy Cheese
Take one cup of dried beans, place in a bowl and cover with 4 cups boiling water.
Soak for 2-4 hours, then drain.
Place one cup of the soaked beans in a blender with 2.5 cups of hot water (be careful, start on low speed and work your way up so you don't burn yourself).
Pour into a pot and repeat with the rest of the beans in the same way. Start boiling and skim off the foam.
Boil for 20 minutes while stirring (you don't want it to stick to the bottom and burn or boil over). Stay on top of it and turn the heat down, maintaining a boil.
Drain through a tea towel.
Squeeze! Pour a cup or two of boiling water over Okara (soy pulp) to get out any extra "milk."
Pour milk a into jar. Cool to 90-115F.
Briskly stir in inoculants (2 tablespoons yogurt or 1 packet of yogurt starter).
Set in a warmed oven (NOT ON!) I warm my oven to 200F before I even start and then shut it off. The pizza stone retains heat and keeps the oven warm. You don't want the temperature over 118F or it will kill your inoculants).
Let sit overnight or until the yogurt has "set."
Drain yogurt into another clean tea towel and hang to drain.
Once the cheese has drained (4 hours or more depending on the consistency you want) place in a bowl and mix in salt to taste and you have "cottage cheese."
Alternatively, mix cheese, ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp sugar and 2 tablespoons oil in a food processor and process until silky smooth. Place in a mold or container and chill for a couple of hours until it is set. Unmold and voila! You have cream cheese! Better than store bought soy cream cheese and it doesn't contain chemicals or casein.
So what did we learn? One cup of dry soy beans (roughly 75 cents) and lots of patience, will make you one cup of cream cheese.
Personally, when I do this, I make a gallon of milk from one pound of dry beans, use half for yogurt and half of the yogurt to make the cheese. This way I only have to do it once a week.
You can use the milk as you would regular milk in any recipe. You can flavor it to your liking.
You can make ice cream, or frozen yogurt from the yogurt or even cheesecake from the cream cheese!
Making Yogurt and Soy "Cheese"
1 qt. homemade soy milk (or store bought should work too)
2 Tbls of yogurt or one packet of yogurt starter
Heat milk to boil stirring constantly.
Pour into sterile jar and cover.
Cool to 110 degrees (if you touch your wrist to the jar, it should be warm but not burn you)
Add the yogurt or starter and stir briskly until dissolved well. Cover and incubate for 2-8 hours. I put mine in a just warmed oven. The idea is to keep it as close to 110-115 degrees as possible for as long as possible in order for it to set. You'll know it's done if you tilt the jar and it separates cleanly from the side of the jar.
Put the yogurt you just made into a cheese bag or make a bag from cheese cloth and hang it for a few hours so the whey drains out of it.
Cottage "Cheese"
Sprinkle with salt and break up.
Cream Cheese
1 cup of the yogurt cheese
2 Tbls oil
1/8 tsp. salt
½ tsp sugar
Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, pour into a bowl or mold and chill for a couple of hours until it is firm.
1 cup of organic soybeans
Optional ingredients (vanilla, almond extract, maple syrup)
Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the beans and soak for 4 hours.
After the soak, rinse them. Place 1 cup of soaked beans into a blender with 2½ cups of boiling water. Blend to a very fine slurry and pour contents into a large heavy pot that won't burn easily. Repeat until all the beans have been processed in this way.
Cook the mixture in a heavy pot set over medium high and bring to a boil stirring frequently. Watch the pot very carefully. When it starts to boil, turn the heat down to a simmer and boil for 20 minutes. Be careful, it will boil over in a heartbeat. Strain the milk over a colander lined with cheesecloth over a 1 gallon pot or bowl or other container. Once you've strained it all, press the pulp and twist the bag to extract as much milk as possible from it. Be careful! It's HOT! Reopen the bag and pour another 2 cups of boiling water over the pulp to extract any milk left and repeat pressing process. The pulp that is left over is called Okara and can be used in other recipes, like "soysage" (yum).
Pour your milk into its final container and add a few drops of vanilla extract, almond extract and maple syrup until desired flavor is achieved. Start with ½ tsp of each.
The faster you cool the milk, the longer it will keep. It should keep for 4-5 days.

Holding an American and British passport, I enjoy the freedom to move easily among economies which is important given that I am now involved in advancing entrepreneurship in 140 countries. As APEC gets ready to complete the rollout of its APEC travel card and other regions outside the European Community develop single visa plans, I wonder how easy it is for current and aspiring entrepreneurs and investors to get around. Is it indeed getting better?
Last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) moved one step further in enlarging the pool of capital available to entrepreneurs when it unanimously voted to propose regulations to allow unaccredited U.S. investors to invest in startups and small businesses for equity, as set out in Title III of the JOBS Act. I took a look at reactions to this latest step and how it compares to a couple of other nations on a similar mission.
Following last week's comments on the Global Entrepreneurship Research Network, I offer a second and final post on matters arising from the government-convened entrepreneurship summit in Kuala Lumpur. The roundtable discussion among "startup policy" experts on October 12 signaled a new chapter in knowledge creation around how governments can better enable their startup communities.
While the number of programs aimed at encouraging more entrepreneurship has increased rapidly, research has not kept pace. A new effort announced last Friday by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry aims to help fill that void. The Global Entrepreneurship Research Network (GERN) was founded by the Kauffman Foundation, World Bank and Endeavor Insight to standardize data and work to gain a better understanding of policy barriers and what the right policies are for fostering entrepreneurship.
Today I am headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a government-convened gathering of entrepreneurs and their supporters focused on advancing entrepreneurship in Muslim-majority countries. Although U.S. President Barack Obama had to cancel at the last minute due to the federal government shutdown, Secretary of State John Kerry is representing the U.S. Government and it promises to be no less of an important week for policy wonks, entrepreneurs and program leads keen on knowledge creation.
Being born in Britain might explain my bias, but I find myself asking again whether we have overlooked the important leadership role of royalty in providing help from the top for bottom-up startup communities. I recently spoke with the Prince of Wales at St. James Palace in London and while he is from a different generation, I heard a man with his heart and mind fully in step with today's unemployed youth and the path they must beat to create their own future as entrepreneurs.
With all the chatter around the Middle East, we welcome a guest post from Mike Ducker. Over the last two years, he has been the Entrepreneur-In-Residence for the U.S. State Department's Global Entrepreneurship Program (GEP) in Egypt, a project funded by USAID and centered on starting, growing and facilitating financing for Egyptian entrepreneurs. His observations show once more the remarkable similarities around the world in terms of how to support startups.
Today marks a new era in entrepreneurial finance as the measure in the 2012 JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups Act) allowing "emerging growth" companies to ask accredited investors for equity investments publicly (e.g., through social media) without having to register the shares for public trading goes into effect.
Despite the profound impact of the banking sector collapse in 2008 on Iceland's economy, the island nation ranks 13th in this year's Global Innovation Index, 14th in the Ease of Doing Business rankings, and 23rd in the Index of Economic Freedom. There has been much debate and disagreement regarding the key steps that put this social-market economy on a path to successful recovery but no one denies the contribution of the more silent actors transforming the economy for the better—its entrepreneurs. I recently sat down in Reykjavik with President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson to learn about the entrepreneurs who are building what they call an "anti-fragile" entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Proud to have beaten the odds arising from a transition to independence since 1991 and the legacy of a war that only ended in 1995, Croatia officially joined the European Union on July 1, 2013. Last month, I accepted an invitation to visit with the nation's president, Ivo Josipović, at his retreat on the Brijuni Islands and found a nation already embarking on its next mission.

you can, i wouldn't advise using them in anything more than a sprinkle of rain. I've used my solo's in the rain. but it was only for about 5 minutes, and they had a thin coating of water on the top. but anything more will water-log them.

I wouldn't try it, it's electronic, and not waterproof, so to be in the safe side don't get them wet.

Mackreth quits Bluebirds for Macclesfield
Last updated at 14:28, Wednesday, 30 May 2012
BARROW AFC have lost one of their most prized possessions, with winger Jack Mackreth having signed for Macclesfield Town.
The speedy winger – one of the Bluebirds' outstanding performers last season in his first year at Holker Street – now looks set to face many of his old team-mates after penning a deal with the Silkmen.Mackreth, who was out of contract and mulling over a new deal with Barrow, played more games than any other AFC player last term.
The 20-year-old scored five goals, as well as registering countless assists in his 49 appearances, and his departure will come as a massive blow to manager Dave Bayliss's preparations for the 2012/13 campaign.
Hopes were high that, despite interest from several clubs, Mackreth would stay, after he verbally agreed a new deal.
The former Tranmere Rovers winger, who won two player-of-the-year awards, told the Evening Mail last week: "I've said I'm going to sign and am 99 per cent sure that I will do."
But the lure of a move to a former League Two club situated closer to his Merseyside home, proved too much of a temptation for the Wales under-23s semi-professional international.
Mackreth was offered a new contract midway through the season and talks were said to be at an advanced stage, but were then put on hold until the end of the campaign.
It was hoped a deal would be forthcoming soon, but now he will be wearing the colours of Blue Square Bet Premier newcomers Macclesfield instead.
Aside from Mackreth, Bayliss has offered new deals to eight out-of-contract players – keepers Danny Hurst and Shaun Pearson; defenders Gavin Skelton and Mike Pearson; midfielders James Owen and Richie Baker; winger Paul Rutherford and striker Andy Cook – and he is still waiting to hear how many will sign. Forward Adam Boyes is already on a contract for 2012/13.

Have your say
Man City have Richards, Chelsea have Terry, Barrow have....???........Bayliss not interested, the Keens should be ensuring he gives locals a fair crack of the whip, then the gates would rise and Mr Keen would not have to bleat on in his column every week
We don't have any locals t krul; just like Man City and Chelsea don't. You are getting mixed up with your parochial amateur game where a player can work in the factory in the morning, play rugby in the afternoon, then go drinking with his team mates at night round the town. Any more bad atitude and you won't be invited to share our new stadium at a reasonable rent.

There are people that buy games and play them with cracks, trainers, mods and hacks for various reasons. As long as those things don't affect others, it shouldn't be an issue. Why is this an issue to you?
It's not an issue to him he's just saying EA didn't ile about the game requiring to be online
The game needs to be online in order to play full stop
You can't say they are lying as you had to modify something in the game in order to allow this change
On the other hand they did lie as they said the game needed to be online for functionality reasons as the server does various calculations for the game - this was a lie it seems to only be used for saving and tracking
All I am saying is that as much as both EA and Maxis have been saying that the game was going to require an online connection, that should have set off the alarms - if you bought the game ANYWAY, that's not the fault of either EA or Maxis - it means that you didn't do your due-dilligence; anything else is basically blaming the developer/publisher for telling the truth.
I don't think people here purchased the game without knowing this tidbit they wanted to play the game but the online drm was annoying so this is great news for them as it will allow them to take their game offline
Sure people can pirate the game but others wish to still pay the devs for the work they put in just because their is drm doesn't mean they haven't put any effort into the game its self drm is only a small part that ruins the experience

Garden statuary can be an important, regal addition to a backyard. Put a couple of detailed animal garden statues on display and the backyard showcases the dramatic beauty of the natural world. Put up a stone garden angel or a large Buddha statue and the garden becomes more like a sanctuary of peace. The types of statues displayed in the garden add to or subtract from its character. However, put a few quality bronze sculptures on display and the backyard will look absolutely regal.
Quality resin statues provide a fine decorative touch to any yard but bronze sculptures lend a classic, eternal appearance that demonstrates priceless beauty. In ancient Greece, bronze statues represented the best in garden statuary and a similar situation exists in modern times. This is shown by such beautiful bronze sculptures as the amazing Leap Froggin Playing Boys statue and the breathtaking bronze of Pan, Greek God of the Forest. Both of these high quality bronze sculptures were made in the traditional lost wax method. The sculpture of the playing boys captures the excitement and unbridled joy of youth with uncanny realism while the small statue of Pan will remind you of similar sculptures crafted more than 2,000 years ago.
Buy these fine statues and any of the other bronze garden statues in our collection by tomorrow, August 7th, and take 20% off.
This sale cannot be combined with other offers.

Major League Baseball players know their swing can be the difference in being a great hitter or being sent down to the minor leagues. Teams have hitting coaches whose job is to find problems with batters' swings and help them improve. This is a story that is more about changing your swing than it is baseball.
There is a book I keep in my office at work that I will always treasure; I will often just open it and read a random page or two. I've read it many times. Today, I first turned to the pages in the book about joy and sorrow. The author notes, "The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain."
I thought about it.
It's difficult when you see folks on the digging side of that thought; when sorrow is digging into them making room for joy. It's even more difficult when it's you or someone you love being dug into.
Then I thought about Daddy's baby sister, my "Aunt Ruby." You probably have someone close to you that comes to mind.
How can she be so doggone happy all the time?
It can be the worst of situations and Aunt Ruby will quote a Bible verse and say "GIG," meaning "God is good."
Then again, perhaps the answer possibly is knowing sorrow has made room for all this joy and happiness. She has lost many of her loved ones including a grandson and a husband much too early in their lives.
She keeps going and keeps saying how blessed she is.
Recently, Aunt Ruby's health hasn't been so good, but you'd never know it. A day or two before she had to check into the hospital, she was sitting in the car with her daughter watching the local junior college play baseball.
She noted, "We parked near the outfield, it was a gorgeous day, God outdid Himself today!"
Perhaps it was because "her boys" won. None are related to her, they just play in the rural Alabama town where she now lives. Honestly, I think if either team won, she would be just as happy.
She loves baseball.
She still watches her grandsons when her health permits and watched her son and husband play the game. Her son played college basketball. "The Georgia Peach," Ty Cobb told the St. Louis Cardinals to give her husband a shot to play baseball many years ago.
They did and he played for awhile but never made it to the big leagues, perhaps he had an issue with his swing. Aunt Ruby's husband came from a baseball family; his uncle had played for the Brooklyn Dodgers. His uncle, Jake Daniel is still the only professional baseball player to come out of Roanoke, Alabama (Population ~ 6000).
After spending time with the Dodgers, Jake came back south to play and coach for many of the southern minor league teams that were prevalent in the 1940's and 50's. As a matter of fact, at age 42 in his last season, he hit .284 for Vidalia (GA) in the Georgia State League. From Brooklyn to Vidalia, sounds like he knew what he wanted to do.
Aunt Ruby knew what she wanted from Jake Daniel's nephew also.
As my Daddy used to say about his baby sister, "When she gets something on her mind, Ruby is going to do it." Back in 1951, Aunt Ruby's boyfriend at the time made the mistake of stopping by the drugstore where she was working to introduce her to a sailor friend of his named Bobby.
With her quoting those Bible verses all the time, you would think Aunt Ruby would take things kind of slow.
She didn't in 1951.
She went out with her boyfriend one more time to let him down gently and then married my Uncle Bob (Bobby) about a month later.
She moved fast. As she would say, "God is good" (especially when you're in a hurry).
They had three children and were happily married until Uncle Bob's untimely death in 1989 at age 58. His "Uncle Jake," the Brooklyn Dodger would die six years later at age 84.
In 2006, Aunt Ruby lost a grandson in an automobile accident. He was 22.
I'm sure you or folks you know have suffered similar heartaches. It's tough. Sometimes you want to say, "I'm tired of this sorrow shovel digging room for joy. Just stop and let me try to fill this hole with happiness."
Everybody needs an "Aunt Ruby." You watch her filling in that hole and trying to find the good in everything.
In her most recent trip to the hospital which she refers to as "The Spa," she not only found joy, but also "a blessing." Her nurse's last name was "Blessing." That could only happen to your Aunt Ruby.
It makes me wonder what she could have done for Ty Cobb's soul (as everyone knows, in addition to being the best player of his era, he also was known to play dirty and use foul language).
"The Spa" couldn't hold Aunt Ruby. She was back again on the porch in her yellow swing in a day or so sitting with her cat, "Sister Sarah." Hopefully, Sister Sarah has been "fixed" and doesn't give birth to any "Isaac's." One cat is more than enough in my opinion.
Aunt Ruby loves her porch swing. She had stored it for awhile. Her daughters talked her into hanging up again and painting it yellow to make it look "happier." You see this baseball player gave her that swing, but never got around to painting it. They had three kids and a wonderful life together after courting for all of a month.
Things get to moving fast, you don't time to paint or change your swing; you just count your blessings along the way.
But Uncle Bob would know, their children would know and we all know that porch swing will always be the perfect swing with Aunt Ruby sitting in it.
I looked back in the book again where the author, Kahlil Gibran described "love." He spoke of what your desires should be, including one that struck me - "To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving…"
There you go.
Aunt Ruby does just that. Each morning, she and Sister Sarah enjoy a cup of coffee, Uncle Bob's perfect swing and another day of loving.
If we really think about it, we all should try.

Yes the Field Museum is good Catch up, but we did not have to queue outside because we all had a Chicago Go ticket it let's you bypass the queues and there was just a short one inside.
Luckily we've never had to deal with too long queues while we were there, but I'm still really glad you told me about the Go ticket. We'll definitely try that next time.

Drama, Suspense/Thriller
Made between The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974), and in part an homage to Michelangelo Antonioni's art-movie classic Blow-Up (1966), The Conversation was a return to small-scale art films for Francis Ford Coppola. Sound surveillance expert Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is hired to track a young couple (Cindy Williams and Frederic Forrest), taping their conversation as they walk through San Francisco's crowded Union Square. Knowing full well how technology can invade privacy, Harry obsessively keeps to himself, separating business from his personal life, even refusing to discuss what he does or where he lives with his girlfriend, Amy (Teri Garr). Harry's work starts to trouble him, however, as he comes to believe that the conversation he pieced together reveals a plot by the mysterious corporate Director who hired him to murder the couple. After he allows himself to be seduced by a call girl, who then steals the tapes, Harry is all the more convinced that a killing will occur, and he can no longer separate his job from his conscience. Coppola, cinematographer Bill Butler, and Oscar-nominated sound editor Walter Murch convey the narrative through Harry's aural and visual experience, beginning with the slow opening zoom of Union Square accompanied by the alternately muddled and clear sound of the couple's conversation caught by Harry's microphones. The Godfather Part II and The Conversation earned Coppola a rare pair of Oscar nominations for Best Picture, as well as two nominations for Best Screenplay (The Godfather Part II won both). Praised by critics, The Conversation was not a popular hit, but it has since come to be seen as one of the artistic high points of the decade, as well as of Coppola's career. Its atmosphere of paranoia and suspicion, combined with its obsessive loner antihero, made it prototypical of the darker American art movies of the early '70s, as its audiotape storyline also made it seem eerily appropriate for the era of the Watergate scandal.~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

Love these hoodies for the toddlers as they are just the right jacket for most weather spring and fall, early winter. They are not bulky and the fabric is comfirtable. The hoods are a great bonus to pop up in a pinch!
This has become a staple of my tween daughter's wardrobe. She wears it almost every day. Definitely getting our money's worth out of this purchase. And she's happy because she's in style and warm.
My daughter has been wanting this jacket for a few months - I finally bought it for her and she loves it. It is just as she wanted - warm and yet comfortable and stylish too. She wanted a fitted jacket. She typically wears size 11 but we got a size 14/16 based on the site recommendations. It fits her just fine. It was snowing out today but she insisted on wearing it as a layer to her full winter coat. It worked out just fine as she could remove the extra layer once we were inside. She plans to wear her coat to school. I am not up on the fashions of middle school but seems this is in trend with her friends. I am glad she is happy and that I don't have to convince her to wear her jacket anymore. At least now, I know she will have at least one layer on.

Hey all
so at the moment im using the Klipsch ProMedia GMX A02.1 but the control hub/pre amp is starting to cut in and out. im looking to get the Corsair SP-2500 but im worried it might not be a upgrade.
i dont know much when it comes to audio so any help would be great.
now one this i noticed is that the Klipsch has a Frequency response of 30Hz-20 kHz +/-5 dB and the Corsair has one of 35Hz-20kHz +/- 3dB, so from my limited understanding that means the Klipsch has better range but the +/- 5dB means it has more room for error
