Letters to the Editor: 05.28.06
Defend the flag
These are hard times for our great republic. These are the times that try our resolve. We, as a nation, have broken borders, illegal immigrants, and don't know how to deal with the issue.
I think that Homeland Security and illegal immigrants do not go hand-in-glove. We have one or the other. Our representatives in Washington have to come up with a solution. Our president must take the lead in this issue. We cannot forget Sept. 11, 2001. The 9/11 hijackers were in this country illegally.
Memorial Day, May 29, will soon be upon us. We must remember that the flag that brought our heroes home was the American flag, not a hyphenated flag. The volley fire and "Taps" at graveside are the American way. The national anthem that our fallen heroes sang is in English, not another language.
You may think you are the best person in the world; however, without a country, you're nothing. I am extremely proud to be an American, a Texan. This pride has nothing to do with heritage. I am very proud of my heritage, but above all, I am proud to be an American, a Texan.
Why? Because I have a flag, a Declaration of Independence, a Constitution and a strong government. These principles are worth fighting for.

More sizzle, please
Thank you for the good article about tourism ("Tourism brings money to help draw high paying jobs," May 20).
Right now I don't see much of what I would call tourism here; it's more like day trippers and event hoppers. The city talks about bringing international tourists to this city, and then what? Has anybody here ever worked with "international" tourists? I can tell you tourists don't travel by plane for 10 hours, spending a high air fare, to find a "four-star-hotel" that has the decor and ambience of the '80s, looks like a pre-Gorbachev Eastern European accommodation and still charges top dollar.
The next thing they would complain about is the beach full of seaweed. And why are there cars on the beach? I am for a nice big hotel development that would bring some class and money to this destination. Condo developments won't do it. Their inhabitants don't have to go out. They bring their own food and cook at home. So much for bringing extra dollars to this community.

The right way
Your recent letters often defend the illegal immigrants. We are a country of immigrants, legal immigrants, people like my ancestors, who came here the right way looking for a better life.
They followed the rules and made many sacrifices, as have millions of others. They learned English, our language. They paid taxes, they asked for no handouts, and they achieved their goals.
Our educational system, our social assistance system, our medical system are all at risk because of illegal immigrants. If we choose to learn a foreign language, that's great, but it should never be a requirement in order to function in our own country. Every job in this country would be filled if employers did not have illegals they could pay under the table.
I'm tired of hearing that illegals pay taxes; if they're undocumented, how would anyone know? It's a ridiculous argument. Yes, these people deserve a better life. It will start with legal immigration. Americans are generous people, but enough is enough. And that is not racist.
Debbie Adams
Old covenant
In our daily lives much is said and written about illegal aliens. We seem to forget our heritage. In the Holy Bible, in the book of Exodus, Chapter 22, Verse 20, the Lord reminds us of the "covenant at Mount Sinai" in which scripture says that "you should not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens yourself in the land of Egypt."
I have come to accept things that I cannot change and I am now living a more peaceful life.

Noyola's right
I am writing in reference to Councilman Noyola's Viewpoints article, dated May 9 ("City must address homeless shelter issue").
I agree with Councilman Noyola that the city needs to look at and adopt an ordinance to address homeless shelters. I also agree that homeless shelters and women's shelters are different, and therefore exceptional consideration needs to be given to women's shelters.
Certain religious groups and others should refrain from making inferences that Councilman Noyola is a racist or that he is not a good Christian. Mr. Noyola is just doing the job that he was elected to do as a public servant. And that is to represent his constituency.
I urge the mayor and the City Council to step up to the plate and support Councilman Noyola and adopt a city ordinance that addresses different types of homeless shelters in our city.

Cinco oversold
Most people are tired of the Caller-Times trying to make a big deal out of Cinco de Mayo.
Shortly after Santa Anna bragged about his 5,000 troops defeating 189 defenders of the Alamo, they surrendered to Sam Houston with hardly a fight.
Not to mention the 20,000 who hightailed it when Zachary Taylor's 4,500 men put them to a hasty retreat in 1847.
If people got both sides of history, they might say, maybe we overdid it with this Cinco de Mayo thing.
Funny how different things look when all the facts are disclosed.
Dale Taylor
Border puzzles
Just a few comments on the legal and illegal immigration problems.
Compilation of some reports on border crossings and on immigration in the print and electronic media, as I heard and read them:
The obstacles to crossing U.S. borders: At the Mexican border, barbed wire fences, tall metal and wooden fences, a long swim across a river, and thousands of Minutemen and Border Patrol officers.
At the Canadian border: Must walk across a street, but look out for cars.
Percentage of terrorists captured at U.S. borders: At the Mexican border, zero; at the Canadian border, 100 percent.
Media coverage of tunnels across U.S. border: A Tijuana tunnel, at least two weeks, all channels. A Canadian tunnel, one night, one channel.
Report of number of illegal Latinos in the U.S.: On a Thursday night, 8 million; next Monday, 10 million, by Thursday (same week), 12 million; following Monday, 20 million.
No report on number of persons with expired temporary visas who are considered to be illegally in the country. Is anybody counting European, Middle Eastern, Asian, etc? Or is it just Latinos being counted?
Samuel B. Sanchez
Get strong leader
As the 2005-2006 school year comes to a close, the Carroll High School community faces a critical issue by, yet again, facing the naming of a new principal. With the naming of a new principal in the last few years, the Carroll community has faced a different leader with different styles of leadership and different ideas.
Consistent leadership has been lacking, and the results include desperately low morale and apparent lack of direction.
While changes in the principal may not impact classroom activity directly, the results of frustration and low morale filter down into the classroom, negatively impacting attitude and school pride.
Leadership begins at the top, and without a strong leader who can provide a consistent presence for an extended period of time, the school is without a unified focus to achieve the goal of outstanding education for our students.
I would like the new principal to be someone who will be able to set a strong course of leadership, who can improve student morale and who can ignite campus spirit, thereby making Carroll High School a great school.
Annabel Sarabia
Out of town
I do not know how our mayor and City Council can run our city when all our money goes out of our city. Here is a breakdown of where my money goes.
My apartment rent to Orlando, Fla., my car payment to Dallas, Texas, phone bill to Dallas, Texas, electricity bill to Tulsa, Okla.
Car insurance to Freeport, Ill., personal loan to Hanover, my hospital bill to Houston, Texas, credit card to Salt Lake City.
And all this tops it all: You can pay your water bill at City Hall. However, if you pay at any H-E-B store, it is $1 extra. If you want to mail it, it goes to City of Corpus Christi Water Department, San Antonio, Texas.
How about that?
Manuel C. Hernandez Jr.

Allure of the Seas 4/10/2011
We arrived at the Fort Lauderdale port at approximately 2:30 pm, and were in our rooms within 30 minutes. Our bags were delivered by 5 pm. No hassles to speak of. Very streamlined checkin process (although I don't know that I'll use this port in the future if it means using the FLL airport... just... gross).
Excellent food and service, although staffing did seem a bit tight once in a while. Less of an inconvenience to us, but did feel bad for the servers once in a while in the MDR.
LOVE the status menu on the tv in the room. Helped us to know where to go if we weren't feeling exceptionally patient.
LOVE the interactive touch screen map.
LOVE the entertainment. Blue Planet made me sniffle, it was so amazing... and I don't usually like theatrical productions. Chicago was great, especially for anyone not familiar with the story as it's been shortened for persons like me with short attention spans.
LOVE the private dining. Izumi More had wonderful sushi. Chops is just as you'd expect a high-end fine dining experience.
Didn't LOVE:
Getting trapped in one of the elevators for about 10 minutes when the buttons on the inside of the car stopped working AFTER I got on at about 1 am. Had to wait for someone to come and let me out.
The wait for elevators and more than that, the incredibly rude 'every man for himself' mentality of the impatient hordes of people waiting for cars. Wouldn't have been so bad if people weren't willing to trample you or shove you out of the way to get on... regardless of how long you'd been waiting. Can't blame the ship for rude people, though. Less

Haven't posted about my BASE 2010 MTS in a long time. I have two quick updates.
Yesterday, I turned over 25,000 miles. Bike is still running good. Although I think there is a small oil leak some where... I'm still happy with my purchase, especially with the extended warranty. My only regret is that my job for the past two years hasn't allowed enough riding time. I really want to take another few week trip on her bad.
Last week I ordered some Ohlins goodies. Apparently Ohlins now makes a traditional mechanical cartridge kit for the forks. It should arrive next week. I also ordered the normal TTX shock. I'll report back on the "new" kit, once it gets installed and I get some miles under them. I figured a full suspension upgrade was in order. I was holding out for Ohlins to annouce a new "full" active suspension that would be a replacement or upgrade for the first years of MTS. Ohlins had some prototypes, but it sounds like a product that will not make it to market. I wish it would though.

A SENIOR stem cell scientist has died in an apparent suicide. Yoshiki Sasai, who co-authored two controversial stem cell papers, was found dead at his laboratory at the Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan.
Sasai was renowned for his ability to coax stem cells into becoming other types of cells. This year, however, his career has been under the spotlight. Sasai was co-author on two papers that claimed to produce embryonic stem cells called STAP from adult cells using acid. The papers were retracted by the journal Nature in July due to multiple errors.
Sasai, 52, was cleared of any direct involvement by a Riken investigation, but criticised for his failure to correctly edit the papers and for his supervision of lead author Haruko Obokata, who was found guilty of misconduct.
In a letter published on 2 July, Sasai spoke of his deep regret that he was not able to identify errors in the papers before publication. Philip Campbell, editor-in-chief of Nature, said in a statement that Sasai's death is a true tragedy for science and an immense loss to his fellow researchers.

Three convicts make it over the wall and one immediately concludes that he needs a little of that girlish lovin' — willing or not. Not to worry, the hapless victim has always fantasized about doing it with an escaped con. Hank (Kyle Stone) has more important fish to fuck: he's obsessed with his sweetie (Sydnee Steele) and gone over the wall to do her properly. Attractive performers and good sex barely save this from its own basic dullness. For a video featuring large breasts – these aren't that large.... Read the Full Review!

Hermès Unveils 'Comme des Carrés' Limited Edition Scarves
Hermès International has revealed a glimpse of its collaboration with Rei Kawakubo on limited-edition silk carré scarves.
The first collection, called Noir et Blanc, features five scarves with abstract black-and-white designs. The second collection, Couleur, features six colorful scarves also including geometric elements like giant patchwork, gingham and shirt stripes.
"I have always deeply respected the tradition and craftsmanship of Hermès," Kawakubo said.
"In our project together, rather than wanting to wear the scarves, I was looking forward to the change that would happen when I added something to the beautiful 'paintings' of Hermès scarf designs. I think through the addition of abstract images, we have transformed the scarf and created something new," she added.
Bali Barret, creative director of women's silks at Hermès, said, "Rei Kawakubo has stamped her vision on the Hermès scarf with rigor, precision, energy and salience."
The Comme des Carrés collection will go on sale Feb. 6 at the Comme des Garçons store in Paris, Feb. 7 at the Comme des Garçons store in New York and Feb. 8 at the at the Comme des Garçons shop in Aoyama, Tokyo, and the Dover Street Market Ginza shop in Tokyo. Then from Feb. 12, the collection will be available at the Dover Street Market shop in London.

Teacher gets grant for kids
Well-behaved pupils to go on special trips
Westhaven Elementary school teacher Jan Langford was surprised in her classroom with a check for $500 from Memphis Area Teachers' Credit Union (MATCU).
Langford, a resident of Nesbit, was the recent winner of the "One Class At A Time" grant designed by MATCU and Eyewitness News to aid deserving teachers in the Mid-South with $500 towards classroom enhancements and special projects. Eyewitness News personalities Cameron Harper and Dee Griffin; Carlos Webb, MATCU'S president and CEO; and Smarty, MATCU's ATM mascot, burst into the classroom with balloons and an oversized check to surprise Langford and her students.
Langford supports the Memphis City Schools' Blue Ribbon Discipline Plan, which is designed to promote good behavior in the classroom. She plans to take the children who have displayed excellent behavior and who receive an E in conduct on a series of three field trips. With the help of this grant, Langford will be able to pay for the buses to transport the children to and from the field trips. The children will be able to visit the Lichterman Nature Center in October, Pink Palace Museum in November and the historic Orpheum Theatre for a holiday show in December.
"My request for bus money was simple, but without the help of this grant I would not be able to take the deserving students on the desired field trips this fall. My hope is that the trips will promote good behavior throughout the school, demonstrating that children with excellent conduct will be rewarded," said Langford.
For complete "One Class At A Time" grant details visit the MATCU Web site, matcu.com, and click on the "One Class At A Time" logo. MATCU is a non-profit, member-owned financial institution that offers an extensive menu of financial services at fees typically lower than those charged by banks. Anyone interested in MATCU and the services it provides can call 385-5200 or log on to matcu.com for more information.

When you have as many goats go through kidding as I do, eventually you have to do something with all that milk. In the past I've done things like feed the milk to the chickens, but it always seemed wasteful. Many people I know who have goats and pigs often feed the pigs the extra milk. If you're butchering pigs, it's not as bad, because the milk does a great job in fattening up pigs. But there is another way to preserve that milk goodness, and that is to make cheese.
I actually stumbled across how to make cheese reading somebody's blog. They were making microwave mozzarella, which incidentally is very delicious. My first attempts were pretty abysmal, and I wasted a lot of milk. So, you get the benefit of learning from my mistakes. Now that I'm an "old pro," you can rest assured that this will work. I've made this with both cow's milk and goat's milk, and it turns out fine. There are some tricks that you need to know about your ingredients, but I'll get into that later.
Understand that go through a lot of milk to make a little bit of cheese. A gallon of milk will only make enough cheese about the size of a baseball to a softball, if you're lucky. The rest of it is whey, which you can use for other things, including a treat for any of your animals. You can also use whey instead of water for more nutritious bread, if you bake bread. Otherwise, you're going to be something a lot of whey down the drain, which is a bit wasteful.
The first thing to be aware of is the type of milk you use. You can use either raw milk or pasteurized milk, but you can't use ultra-pasteurized milk. The reason why ultra-pasteurized milk is no good in cheesemaking is because ultra-pasteurization overcooks the milk and it will not form curds that you will make into cheese. There's nothing more frustrating than using ultra-pasteurized milk and discover that you have nothing but hot milk with very little separation.
Standard grocery store milk is almost always ultra-pasteurized. If it lasts a long time, i.e. more than a week, you can rest assured that the milk you're using is ultra-pasteurized. If in doubt, ask the milk producer. Here in Montana, we have two producers of milk that only pasteurize. Since I use my goats' milk, I pasteurize on a daily basis, and do not ultra-pasteurized.
To make microwave mozzarella, you will need a whole gallon of milk. I usually use day old goat's milk, but I hear that the fresher the better.
Other Ingredients and Supplies
You'll need the following things to make microwave mozzarella:
• Citric acid and rennet — both types used in making cheese. Do not use the generic citric acid. I don't understand what the difference is, but if you use anything other than that which is intended for cheesemaking, you're going to be disappointed. The place where I source my cheesemaking ingredients is New England Cheesemaking Supply Company. They even have some beginner kits that I highly recommend, including a mozzarella kit.
• A pot large enough to heat up milk on a stove
• A nonreactive spoon
• Non-chlorinated water
• Microwave
• Microwave-safe bowl
Next time, I'll go through the recipe for your very own microwave mozzarella. So stay tuned.

Homesteading has become the heart of the do-it-yourself movement. In this era of sustainability, homesteaders take their lifestyle to varying extents. Some choose to live life completely off grid and exactly as our forefathers, while others opt for a lifestyle with modern technology mixed with a sustainable lifestyle. Think iPhones, beer brewing and square-foot gardening.
Regardless of the depth of involvement, the use of heritage animals is an integral part of the homestead community.
What makes these animals so special? They're the Adam and Eve of present-day livestock.
Genetically modified organisms, more commonly called GMOs, riddle grocery store shelves. If you try to find corn that hasn't been modified or treated with a product from Monsanto, you're going to have to buy local from a farmer you trust. As an average consumer, we're used to worrying about the state of our produce, and, sure, we try to buy grass-fed meat, but that doesn't mean the meat is coming from a heritage breed.
Heritage animals pre-date the GMO livestock that most of us eat — even though most of us aren't intentionally picking non-heritage meat. Unless you know the farmer, it's almost impossible to guarantee your meat is from a heritage animal because the USDA hasn't actually acknowledged "heritage" as a label.
Heritage breeds were carefully bread to encourage genetic traits that best fit for a lifestyle of survival. Basically, these animals had to survive harsh conditions and live for a long time. Remember the game Oregon Trail? How many times did you have to buy more oxen when you played Oregon Trail in school? Well, those were heritage breeds made for a hard life.
Modern-day livestock is made to grow quickly and thrive on growth hormones. They're also inbred, which means they're more prone to sickness, which is a prime reason that heritage livestock is so important.
In fact, according to the GRACE Communications Foundation, an organization focused on increasing public awareness of environmental issues, "83% of dairy cows are Holsteins ... and 60% of beef cattle are of the Angus, Hereford or Simmental breeds." Because modern society has bred these specialized, fast-growing animals for food production, there are 1,500 different breeds of heritage livestock in danger of extinction.
Heritage animals enhance the genetic diversity of livestock. Should something happen to any of our sensitive genetically modified livestock, we need to be able to fall back on our slow growing, but hardy, heritage animals.
Whether you're looking to expand your homestead or just fill your belly, heritage animals are the most sustainable choice you can make. These animals are meant for normal, outdoor weather without any sort of growth hormones. That means they grow at a much slower rate but your homestead will be able to support the animal instead of being forced to buy food loaded with the growth hormones needed for their inbred genes.
These breeds are the perfect fit for a homestead, plus you'll also be helping to conserve a global resource. As you go through the process of choosing your herd, keep in mind you'll still have to adjust your land and buy equipment to fit the needs of the animals. Cattle, for instance, need more than just a fence. Happy cows require a clean and healthy environment, and odds are good your homestead is perfect for them.

It is no secret that summer is a hectic season on a farmstead. As the snow melts, the waiting work unfolds before us. There are endless tasks to be completed in a limited amount of time….it can be daunting. Leisure becomes a thing of the past as we scramble to prune the trees, prepare the soil, plant the crops, weed, harvest, process the bounty, re-sow, repeat. And, of course, there are the animals and bees that require a similar amount of care and attention, implements and tools to be fixed and usually children to be raised.
For most modern farmsteaders, this list of chores happens in the hours before and after attending to another 'real' job; the 9-5 kind. To be fair, many farmsteaders are happy for this routine. In an age of unlimited convenience, we are a unique breed of individuals that still value hard work and gain satisfaction from doing a job ourselves….even if it means giving up our free time to do it.
The secret to being a successful long-term farmsteader is to find a balance that supports both mental and physical well-being and allows you to accomplish your goals at the same time. For our family, this has taken years of practice.
The burn-out rate for new farmsteaders can be pretty high. The utopian visions of a self-sustaining lifestyle often excludes the very real truth of an aching back, extreme mental fatigue, and the financial stress of undertaking a new endeavor (That deer fence isn't free, folks). However, it is possible to make it through the early years by learning a few hard-won lessons.
Lesson 1 - Be realistic with your time; life is long(ish). You don't need to turn your entire yard into a victory garden in one season. Time is a commodity like all other goods. There is a limit to what can reasonably be accomplished before that commodity runs out. Set small, attainable goals that fit into your time budget. For me personally, I have been slowly building our orchard over the course of the last 4 years. The first season I mapped out the location of where I wanted all of the paths and all of the crops to be located. Over the next couple of seasons I gradually added fruit trees, blueberry bushes, raspberries, black cap raspberries, grapes and even a flower bed. It would have been impossible to accomplish the entire vision in one season and if I had tried, I would have failed. Likely, my plants would have died or I would have lost the area to weeds. By slowly adding to the landscape I have been able to mentally 'ease' into caring for a new area without feeling overwhelmed by the task of doing so. This slow but steady approach has also offset the financial burden of the project, allowing the cost to be spread over several years of work. By staying within our household budget, we have harbored very little stress over the monetary expenditures needed to do this project well. This low stress approach does wonders for personal health. Everyone knows that stress is a killer.
Lesson 2 - Stretch, a lot. Recently, I realized that as I am getting older I need to spend a great deal more time stretching than I did when I was younger. It doesn't take much to make me stiff these days. Stretching is the best way for me to combat chronic back pain and sore joints. I prefer yoga but even simple toe touching and back bends will help to loosen up tight hamstrings and realign your spine. Massage is another powerful tool that is not to be underestimated. This is a great way to bond with your partner as well. Even a brief foot massage can make the difference between a positive attitude and a negative one.
Lesson 3 - Leave the work behind. Once in a while it is imperative that you leave the farmstead. Yes, there are always jobs needing completion, but for the mental health of your family it is necessary to find some time to recreate somewhere else. A four hour vacation at the beach may be all that is required to rejuvenate you for the week ahead. Longevity in farmsteading is dependent upon the healthy relationships you have with your family…..cultivate this through play. It is also good to use your body in a different way than what is required through farm work. I have a paddle board and take to the water regularly. I also like to swim. Both of these activities keep my musculature well-rounded and help to eliminate the chance of accidental injury while on the farm.
Lesson 4 - Get lots of sleep. I am a long sleeper compared to my husband. My natural state requires 9 hours of sleep a night. The year that I was ready to quit the farm was the year that I pushed myself to exhaustion by cutting away at my required sleep. I only trimmed about an hour half of sleep off of my schedule each day, but it was enough to completely disrupt me physically and mentally. In the end, any additional work that I was accomplishing by being awake an extra hour was a detriment to my wellbeing and certainly affected my overall attitude towards my family and the work that lay before me. I also have a tendency toward getting sick when I neglect my sleep. There is nothing worse than missing a day of farm work due to illness....especially when it is self-imposed due to sleep deprivation.
There are many other lessons that I have learned along the way that have made our current lifestyle possible. Through thoughtful reflection, I believe these four in particular have made the difference between success and failure for us. Farmsteading is nothing short of rewarding although it has its hurdles. Making time to care for yourself is of utmost importance. Being able to successfully navigate through the hard times (both physically and mentally) is what make the good times so much sweeter.

Face it: If you chose to leave the rat race for a "back to the earth" lifestyle, you will be in the minority, albeit a growing minority. While everyone's journey from conventional to alternative living differs depending on your starting point—in terms of career, finances, assets, and relationships—getting meaningful guidance from friends and relatives or even professionals can be tricky, if not frustrating.
In our particular case, a meeting with a professional financial planner ended in a polite, "This is out of my area of expertise." Our CPA was willing to help us run through some numbers regarding the sale of assets to pay off debt, and was able to give us some very general guidance regarding tax implications of such liquidation efforts to start life anew
But, in the end, our accountant was unable to provide the level of assistance that we hoped for given his certifications and his hourly fee. In fact, at one point he made a comment about our desire for a "subsistence living" while referring to the rest of his clientele as "high end," which should have been a clue regarding his qualifications to really guide us through this unique financial, tax and life change.
You likely already know that your own mindset is not common, either. Do not expect people to fully understand, let alone provide useful input.
"This is madness!" is likely what most will think. That said, foreign immigrants who have literally given up their lives to establish something new and, in their vision "better" in the Land of Plenty, have tended to have a greater measure of sympathy with our reasons for the change and the drastic nature of this life shift. (This said, we encountered numerous executives in our previous place of employment who voiced not only understanding, but a desire to have the same "courage" that would allow them to leave their secure government careers, some even noting they would have left years prior if they only could muster, again, the courage to walk away from the predictable pay, cheap health care, etc.)
Be aware that, depending on the particulars of your individual circumstances, Uncle Sam may not be sympathetic to your desire to "give it all up" in order to become debt- free, self-sufficient, and a more active and productive member of your local community. The tax man's sting can be particularly acute.
Tax laws, for example, are just not set up for people who are willing to do crazy things like sell their possessions to pay off debt (you get dinged for that in the form of capital gains tax). God forbid you dip into your retirement savings to splurge on the purchase—rather than financing—of a property or residence (there is a 10-percent penalty for early withdrawals plus capital gains taxes at the rate determined not by your joblessness, but by how much of your hard-earned and stashed-away money you are tapping to make your life transition, to settle your debts).
On the flip side, if you are already living on modest income with few assets, you may actually get some government help, depending on your state's attitude toward public assistance. Here in Hawaii, for instance, you can own property and even have your own profitable business and still qualify for some types of welfare aid.
In the same vein, our nation's healthcare laws may not recognize the fact that you no longer have a steady job, leaving you paying insurance premiums that calculate your income by looking at your asset liquidations and tapping of your retirement funds, even if you shifted that wealth into a piece of property and home in which to live or used it to settle other outstanding financial obligations so you can, literally, go scratch a living from the land.
In our case, though we left our careers more than one year ago to begin building the homestead, we were forced to secure an entirely new income stream (a paper route) just to cover the cost of the new mandatory health insurance, which considers our asset sales (to buy our land), and not our actual job-related cash inflow, as our annual income when calculating our rate.
Again, depending on your individual circumstances, you may find that the state you live in will step in and help defray this particular cost.
To be continued...
I'm fairly new at celery as this is only my third year growing it. I guess that's because I'm not the biggest fan of it. It's got its place but it's just not a vegetable I use that often. Tom likes it better than I do so we figured we'd give it a try. Of course our last two years were filled with tough, stringy stalks because I was a beginning celery grower and didn't know what the tricks were.
One of the tricks to growing tender celery is to give it a lot of water. Well, I live in California where it doesn't rain throughout the summer. I'd feel terribly guilty if I had to dump a bunch of our precious water on the celery just to have tender stalks. One of the things I've noticed while growing celery is that it doesn't come out with nice, thick, upright stalks that are all clustered together in the center. It's more spreading and shrub like. But dumping water on it doesn't seem to solve the problem of short stalks, does it? No, really, I'm asking because I haven't tried dumping a bunch of water on celery.
There is another option though for producing tender celery. A farmer taught me about a trick they use for growing celery. Blanching the stalks with these rectangular cylinders that you slide over the plant. It keeps sunlight from reaching the stalks while forcing the plant to grow straight and bunched, which makes them thick and tender. You can buy these special cylinders or you can use half gallon milk cartons with the tops and bottoms cut off. We don't drink commercial milk so that wasn't really an option for us. Instead we used cardboard and the ubiquitous duct tape.
The process was pretty easy. Just cut 18"x8" rectangular pieces of cardboard and then fold them in half. Fold each half in half again so that when it stands up you've got an 8" tall cylinder.
Duct tape the seam closed. That's it. Super simple.
The celery should be about as tall as the cylinder or a bit shorter. You just want the leaves popping out of the top. Grab the plant pulling all of the stalks together and slide the cardboard tube over them. Now just wait for the plant to be ready for harvest.
Rachel's friends in college used to call her a Renaissance woman. She was always doing something crafty, creative, or utilitarian. She still is. Instead of crafts, her focus these days has been farming as much of her urban quarter-acre as humanly possible. Along with her husband, she runs Dog Island Farm, in the San Francisco Bay Area. They raise chickens, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, and a kid. They're always keeping busy. If Rachel isn't out in the yard, she's in the kitchen making something from scratch. Homemade always tastes better!
Most of the spring transplanting is done around my garden, with a record-late planting date for my tomatoes (June 8th) and basil (18th) due to the persistent cold and damp weather. I transplant several hundred of plants every year all which I've started from seed, either indoors or in the groud under our simple glass-top cold frames. An early spring start is sometimes necessary, like with tomatoes here in Maine's short growing season or beneficial, like with crops in the Brassica family, to give the plants a head start so to not be such a likely prey for pests like slugs and flee-beetles. In early July I'll start my rutabaga and Chinese cabbage in a small open space in our garden and about a month later transplant them after we've harvested our garlic and early potatoes.
A correctly done transplanting will eliminate stress for the plants and expedite the resumed growth. I pay close attention to the forecast when it's transplanting time and act a bit differently depending on which crop I'm working with.
Cabbage, kale, broccoli and broussel sprouts will not do well in heat so it's important to either wait for some wet weather or be very diligent with covering the plants and water them. I try to let nature do as much work as possible for me so if I see the right conditions coming up and the plants are big enough to take being dug out and moved, I tend to drop everything else and get to work. If the sunny days persists I do my transplanting in the evening and cover the plants with pots until they are established.
I plant my brassica seeds in tight rows and when it's time to dig them out I first thin out all plants that are too small and then water the plants pretty heavily so the soil stick together better around the roots. Never expose dug plants to sunshine or drying winds, not even for a few minutes! I usually dig out 20 or so plants, use a tray to carry them to where I'll plant them next, dig a small hole with a trowel (a mason trowel works great), put the plant in, fill in with a handful of compost and push the dirt back around the plant. I form the soil so the plant sits in a small depression that will catch rainwater.
Brassica grows new leaves from the center so I plant them deep enough that the stem is buried all the way to where the new growth shoots out without covering that part. I snip off most of the bigger leaves, to give the plant less tissue to keep alive. For all plants I can think off – vegetables, trees, shrubs and flowers alike – the general protocol is to encourage strong roots before any top growth. While it might seem like it'll set the plant back to trim off leaves, the plant will establish roots faster and catch up in size quicker.
Most Brassica I space 22-24 inches apart and when the transplanting is done I mulch the entire bed to keep the moisture in the ground and the weeds down. I use seaweed but anything that covers the soil will do.
Lettuce can either be started in succession, with a row or a few rows planted every few weeks but I've found that for me it works better to transplant, through which I achieve both the right spacing and a form of succession, since the transplanted plants will be slightly set back compared to the once left in place. I plant a number of rows in early spring when it's likely to be damp and not much for bugs and when the plants start to get crowded I thin them out by pulling some and carefully digging others until I have about 6-8 inches between each of the plants. I cut all the leaves off the ones I dig out, once again to let the root get established.
The desired weather to transplant tomatoes is very different from what I look for with most other crops. Tomatoes is a warm weather crop and does not like it cold or wet. My general guideline is to plant when the 10 day forecast shows little to no rain and a low temperature that stays in the 50's. This can be tricky, because at the end of May when this weather is first likely to appear, the tomatoes might be pretty big in their pots and starting to show symptoms of stress. Tall "leggy" plants with flower buds, yellowing leaves and brown spots are all signs that the roots need more room than my 3 inch x 3 inch pots allow for. If I had around 10 plants and the cold weather persisted, I'd transplant them to bigger pots. At this stage, I usually care for about 50 plants, some for me and some for others, and they already take all the room we have in our house so I can only cross my fingers and keep checking the forecast.
I rather transplant my tomatoes at the beginning of a dry and hot stretch and water by hand than waiting for rain to relieve me from the work. Cool weather is OK, but tomatoes does not like wet feet. Nor wet leaves, since many common tomato diseases, such as early blight, starts with plants unable to dry out. I bury the plant to its neck – the second leaf stem from the top – and give them plenty of compost or seaweed to grow in. The entire stem that's buried under ground will form a root and strong roots will give strong plants. I snip off all flower buds until solstice and while I perhaps have to wait a few days longer to eat the first fruit, I'll get that back many times over by having strong, robust and well rooted plants that will be resilient to disease and produce for a long time into fall.
"Heidi is straining, but she's not having her kid," I said. I was looking at the blonde Lamancha with some reservations. She had her first kid this season on the ground now, a very blonde doeling, and I knew she had at least one more kid inside her. But something was wrong.
A Kidding Headache
Every year I go through playing goat wet nurse because I seem to have one or two goats who have difficulties. This year, it appeared to be Heidi's turn in the bucket. So, I had my husband hold Heidi while I once again stuck my hand into the birth canal to feel what was going on inside there. With each year, I learn more things and I also build on the knowledge. Heidi was contracting hard on my arm, which hurt like the dickens, but I knew I had to find the kid. I found one leg.
It felt like a rear foot. So, the kid was backwards. No biggie, except I needed to find the other foot. And that's when I ran into the grapefruit.
It's Not Supposed to Be Like That
Grapefruit? Yes. I felt something about the size of a grapefruit attached to that leg. I scooted my hand around and found the other leg. Then, I started pulling. Only the grapefruit was keeping the kid from leaving the birth canal. I pulled and pulled. At this stage, I figured the kid was dead and I needed to save the mom. So, when the doeling came out, she had a swollen stomach and gasped as amniotic fluid poured from her.
Alive, but barely. I swung the kid, trying to get her to expel the fluid. It kept pouring out of the little one, but I still couldn't get her to get rid of it all. In this way, I lost the doeling. Not because of anything I did, but rather what I couldn't do, that is, get that airway cleared. This is when I learned the term meconium where the fecal material gets sucked into the lungs. Not good. And darn impossible to fix at home.
The little one who was alive we named Galadriel. She seemed okay so we cleaned her up, tied her cord, dipped it in iodine, and left her to recover with mom. The next day, she seemed a little off and she didn't look like she ate at all, so I took her to the house and started feeding her. She wasn't the best drinker, but I went ahead and gave her colostrum, including a store version of colostrum. That's when she started running a fever.
If you've ever had a newborn critter run a fever, you know how crazy your life can get. I started her with antibiotics (that was an adventure in dosage guessing because she was smaller than my cat). I gave her yogurt mixed with water, corn syrup, and a small amount of electrolytes. Then, we had another emergency — this one with a dog — that we had to tend to.
We lucked out and surprisingly, Galadriel pulled through. We couldn't return her to her mom because she was too small and delicate. But her appetite picked up. I figured I won this round.

List Lookup fields no longer connected to lookup list after restore
We just set up a test SharePoint 2007 site. We created a simple new site using the Blank Site template. It was populated with a document library, a picture library, and two lists (named Master and Lookup respectively). One of the fields in the Master list was a lookup to a field in the Lookup list.
A full backup of the server was made after it was added as a server farm in BE 2010. The site was deleted, and a restore of the site in question was made.
It all went surprisingly well. The default.aspx page looked right, including all web parts placed there. All the lists and document/picture libraries were restored successfully.
BUT I had these issues - Can anyone help?:
- The document and picture libraries no longer showed up in the Quick Launch on the left side. Was quickly corrected though in the Site Settings, but a bit odd.
- The Lookup field in the Master list was no longer connected to the Lookup list field.
It is a fairly critical thing that lookups work after a restore. SharePoint does not allow you to "re-connect". Only option is to delete the field and create a new lookup, resulting in all values being lost. I suspect it is because both List and Field ID's are new after the restore, thus breaking the lookup link inside SharePoint.
Best regards, Jan12345

|Range of Canis lepophagus based on fossil distribution
Canis lepophagus, the hare-eating wolf or Johnston's coyote is an extinct species of canid which was endemic to much of North America and lived from the Miocene epoch through Early Pleistocene, 10.3—1.8 Mya.[1] The species existed for about 8.5 million years. It is one of the more basal species of Canis, having existed before most of the major clades split. It was a small, narrow-skulled canid which may have given rise to grey wolves and coyotes. Some larger, broader-skulled C. lepophagus fossils found in northern Texas may represent the ancestral stock from which true wolves derive.[2]
Canid competitors[edit]
The Johnston's coyote lived during a period with other Canidae, specifically Borophaginae such as Epicyon (20.6—5.330 Mya), Paratomarctus (16.3—5.3 Mya), Borophagus (23.3—3.6 Mya), Carpocyon (20.4—3.9 Mya), and Aelurodon (23.03—4.9 Mya).
Fossil distribution[edit]
The Johnston's coyote was named by Johnson in 1938. The first fossil record was found in Cita Canyon, Texas. Subsequent discoveries of specimens were found in four other Texas sites, Tonuco Mountain, New Mexico, western Washington[3] Sante Fe River, Florida,[4] Black Ranch in northern California, sites in Nebraska, Idaho, Utah, and Oklahoma.
A specimen was estimated by Legendre and Roth to weigh 18.5 kg (40.7 lbs) and another specimen was estimated to weigh 17 kg (37.4 lbs).[5]
