U.S. House 1 candidate: Glen Gainer (D)
COUNTY: Wood
PARTY: Democrat
As West Virginia's State Auditor for the last 22 years, I've served as the state's fiscal watchdog. I brought Republicans and Democrats together to find common-sense solutions to cut wasteful spending, protect our tax dollars, and create the right environment for business to create jobs. Now I'm running for Congress to bring some West Virginia common-sense and values to Washington. www.glengainerforcongress.com
1. What changes in federal laws would you favor that would better protect people and our water resources from chemical spills?
I support the Chemical Safety and Drinking Water Protection Act sponsored by Senator Manchin that provides oversight of chemical facilities by requiring regular state inspections of storage facilities, state-approved emergency response plans, allows states to recoup costs incurred from responding to emergencies and ensures water systems have the necessary tools and information to respond to emergencies.
2. What steps should the federal government take to reduce the number of Americans living in poverty?
First and foremost we must raise the minimum wage to a living wage. The majority of people living in poverty are the working poor. They get up early every day and work hard for a paycheck that doesn't begin to cover the bare necessities. These workers end up requiring public assistance in the form of Medicaid, SNAP and other programs.
3. In view of recent Supreme Court decisions, what steps do you think Congress should take to protect the rights of all American voters?
I favor repeal of Citizens United which is the most serious threat to the concept of one person one vote our democracy has faced in the modern era. Furthermore, we need a system that is transparent so that people know who is behind the big money third party expenditure campaigns that have played a big role in recent elections.
Herald-Dispatch questions:
4. What is your position on the EPA and other regulation of the coal and natural gas industries?
No reply yet.
5. What is the most pressing foreign policy issue, and how would you address it?
No reply yet.
6. How should the United States address future relations with Russia?
No reply yet.
7. What can the federal government do to improve educational achievement in West Virginia?
No reply yet.
8. What do you think of the Affordable Care Act, and what changes -- if any -- would you support?
No reply yet.
9. What can the federal government do to improve workforce development in West Virginia?
No reply yet.
10. Do you favor any changes in gun control requirements?
No reply yet.
11. What more should Congress do to battle the prescription drug crisis?
No reply yet.
12. Are there more steps Congress should take to reduce obesity?
No reply yet.
13. What action by Congress would you favor to address concerns about the environmental effects of natural gas extraction, particularly the process of fracking?
It is vital that we work with and support the emerging natural gas industry as this means new jobs and tax revenue for West Virginia. In doing so we do have to be mindful of any potential environmental impacts resulting form the tracking process. This means partnering with the industry to ensure safety standards are maintained rather than imposing burdensome regulations at the outset.
14. Do you favor legislation to amend the Voting Rights Act to prevent states from adopting restrictive laws that make registering and voting difficult for large numbers of legally eligible voters? Explain.
Yes, the right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and states should in no way be permitted to enact laws which restrict the rights of legally eligible voters.
15. What measures would you support to address the growing income disparity among Americans?
The first thing we need to do is raise the minimum wage in this country. Doing so will help lift countless working West Virginian's out of poverty and help them support their families. We also need to make every effort to support local businesses, helping them grow and create jobs here in our communities.

Portrait of Samuel D. Gross, MD
An 1828 graduate of Jefferson Medical College, Samuel D. Gross (1805-1884) served as Professor of Surgery at Jefferson from 1856-1882. Considered one of the finest surgeons of his time, Gross was the first alumnus to be appointed to a professorship at Jefferson. After serving on Jefferson's faculty for twenty-five years Gross resigned in March of 1882. He retained the title of Emeritus Professor of Surgery until his death on 6 May 1884 in Philadelphia.
During the nineteenth century, studios produced thousands of cabinet cards, such as the one featured here, each day. While often of private individuals, studios also sold photographs of popular figures. The image itself was produced either as an albumen print from a wet collodian negative or by a paper print process such as gelatin silver or salted prints. The photograph was then mounted on a board for stability.
This portrait is an example of the portraits preserved in the University Archives and Special Collections' Art/Photo Collection. Many of the images in the Art/Photo Collection have been digitized and placed online as part of the Philadelphia Historical Digital Image Library (PHDIL).

Jim and his wife Coleen are members of WNSGA and many of you may have known him as the Vice-President of NS&GP. They have been producers for about 7 years. Both Jim and Coleen had both sheep and goats before. To them it looked like the show goats were about to take off as the numbers were going up quickly. They Raise Boer meat goats, both show wethers as well as breeding does and billies.
Coleen shared "our program is for the kids. Jim and I were both in 4-H. Jim was also in FFA as well as our kids. We know how much these programs helped us in everything we do. This is one of our main goals to raise goats kids can learn from and go on to compete on a National level".
They do a great job of caring for their goats. They get excellent performance through a sound feeding and management program. They work closely with their veterinarian and correct and problem that arises early.
The bottom line is the Donaldson's have shown that a tremendous herd of goats can be established in a fairly short time with a modest investment in facilities and breeding stock. Hard work and excellent animal husbandry utilizing modern technology has paid off for them.

The Georgetown County Sheriffs Office is asking for the publics assistance in identifying two (suspects who are wanted in connection with an armed robbery on Huntington Marsh Road in the Murrells Inlet Community of Georgetown County.
At approximately 3 p.m. Friday two black male suspects entered the victims residence through an unlocked door. The victim heard footsteps and entered the location in the home. The suspects displayed what appeared to be a hand gun and demanded money and jewelry from the victim.
While canvassing Huntington Marsh Road for information regarding the men, deputies were notified by residents that the suspects approached a second residence on the same road. The suspects at the second residence went to the front door and left when they realized the owners were home.
There was also a home invasion off of Highway 17 Bypass in Garden City. This incident involved the same description of the vehicle and suspects involved in the Georgetown County incident. Information from Horry Countys officials described the vehicle as a 2013 White Chevy Tahoe with a Georgia License Plate PHR-2671 leaving the scene.
The first suspect is described as a black male, 510 in height, and wearing a dark baseball cap. The second suspect is described as a black male, approximately 602 in height, and wearing a yellow and green traffic vest. Both suspects are described as thin in weight.
The Sheriffs Office advises the public not to approach the vehicle or the suspects for any reason. The suspects are considered armed and dangerous. If the vehicle or suspects are sighted, please call 911.

Óðmenn was a short-lived, four-piece Icelandic rock band. Two brothers founded the group in 1966 and it broke up a few years later when one of them went to university to study law. The group played clubs in Reykjavik and recorded a single album in Copenhagen. This is that album. The music is a local take on British blues-rock, merging into psyche-rock. It sits not only on the cusp of two decades, but also on the cusp of two sounds, the first a younger, grubbier percussive style and the second a more expansive guitar-rooted sound. Musically, it's less incendiary than its foreign forebears. The liner notes explain that the Icelandic lyrics deal with socially divisive themes "like anti-war protest", but the one English-language song is an affably-worded bit of uplift that asks all of us, "both black and white," to "[live] together and not to fight." How often did they get to exercise this interracial sentiment in 1960s Reykjavik, I wonder. Óðmenn features solid playing and songwriting all the way through, ending with a 20-minute zooming jam of a climax.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve has decided against reducing its stimulus for the U.S. economy, saying it will continue to buy $85 billion a month in bonds because it thinks the economy still needs the support.
The Fed said in a statement Wednesday that it held off on tapering because it wants to see more conclusive evidence that the recovery will be sustained.
Stocks spiked after the Fed released the statement at the end of its two-day policy meeting.
In the statement, the Fed says that the economy is growing moderately and that some indicators of labor market conditions have shown improvement. But it noted that rising mortgage rates and government spending cuts are restraining growth.
The bond purchases are intended to keep long-term loan rates low to spur borrowing and spending.
The Fed also repeated that it plans to keep its key short-term interest rate near zero at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent, down from 7.3 percent last month. In the Fed's most recent forecast, unemployment could reach that level as soon as late 2014.
Many thought the Fed would scale back its purchases. But interest rates have jumped since May, when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke first said the Fed might slow its bond buys later this year. But Bernanke cautioned that the reduction would hinge on the economy showing continued improvement.
In its statement, the Fed says that the rise in interest rates "could slow the pace of improvement in the economy and labor market" if they are sustained.
The Fed also lowered its economic growth forecasts for this year and next year slightly, likely reflecting its concerns about interest rates.
The statement was approved on a 9-1 vote. Esther George, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, dissented for the sixth time this year. She repeated her concerns that the bond purchases could fuel the risk of inflation and financial instability.
The decision to maintain its stimulus follows reports of sluggish economic growth. Employers slowed hiring this summer, and consumers spent more cautiously.
Super-low rates are credited with helping fuel a housing comeback, support economic growth, drive stocks to record highs and restore the wealth of many Americans. But the average rate on the 30-year mortgage has jumped more than a full percentage point since May and was 4.57 percent last week — just below the two-year high.
The unemployment rate is now 7.3 percent, the lowest since 2008. Yet the rate has dropped in large part because many people have stopped looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed — not because hiring has accelerated. Inflation is running below the Fed's 2 percent target.
The Fed meeting took place at a time of uncertainty about who will succeed Bernanke when his term ends in January. On Sunday, Lawrence Summers, who was considered the leading candidate, withdrew from consideration.
Summers' withdrawal followed growing resistance from critics. His exit has opened the door for his chief rival, Janet Yellen, the Fed's vice chair. If chosen by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would become the first woman to lead the Fed.

It's hard to understand how either the U.S. or Israel gets much out of a proposed 90- day settlement moratorium, which Bibi is prepared to present to his cabinet. Yes, Obama is pleased that this shows Bibi is "serious," but that is yet another bit of Obama condescension. Has Israel not shown that repeatedly — by entering into peace talks that inevitably increase killings of Jews and by multiple proposals to give the Palestinians their own state? It is true that, yes, Israel gets a bribe promise of 20 F-35s.
But both Israel and the U.S. are the worse for this deal. Bibi is merely perpetuating the myth that the negotiations are about settlements; after promising Israel would not extend the settlement freeze, he has now damaged his own credibility. Moreover, as a savvy Israel hand points out to me, "What surprises me is how little he gets out of this: much of what is promised is promised when peace comes, not now." While it's nice to get free F-35s, the Israelis could have purchased those additional planes without giving in on the settlement issue. And as for the promise to veto UN resolutions attacking Israel or declaring a Palestinian state, why should Israel have to give anything to Obama for simply adhering to past U.S. policy? My Israel guru remarks, "This shows the Obama mentality that we veto as a difficult favor for Israel, rather than out of principle."
But, most important, the extension is at best a meaningless postponment of the inevitable — a refusal by the Palestinians to enter into and enforce a peace deal that would mark recognition of the Jewish state and cessation of Palestinian terrorism. Does anyone really imagine that another 90 days — or 90 weeks for that matter — will make any difference? The only result is a negative one for Israel, the U.S., and the West. Israel's credibility is damaged, the non-peace talks (that continue to promote friction between the U.S. and Israel) are extended with virtually no chance of success, the world obsesses a little longer over the Palestinian-Israel conflict, and, meanwhile, those centrifuges keep spinning in Iran.
And will Israel get "credit" for this? Puleez. The" international community" and the left will holler that the freeze does not include East Jerusalem. Surely by now Bibi should know that capitulation never pays dividends for the Jewish state.

2-12-04 - A plan for expansion is taking off at Sherman's municipal airport. Thanks to a $900,000 grant, the facility will get a much-needed facelift. Officials with the city say it's needed because more planes are landing in Sherman than ever before and its creating an airplane traffic problem.
The problem is that the taxi way is only half the distance of the runway. But with the grant and another $100,000 from the city, they will extend the taxi way 2,000 feet and build another ramp.
They also plan to build two more hangers to house dozens of airplanes. The airport's popularity has taken off in the past few years thanks to its fuel prices, which are the cheapest in north Texas. More than 100 pilots from all over the nation are stopping and filling up each month.
That extra business has increased sales from 500 gallons five years ago to 6,000 gallons last month. Construction is scheduled to begin in nine months.

*faceslap* wow the giant bombcrew needs to go shove their heads up their own butts, cause that is how ignorant they are to Warhammer as a franchise. While speaking about Warhammer 40k Dawn of War, they compare it to Starcraft like it is copying it ("Tyranids are basically zerg, instead of Protoss they call them Eldar") when it is 100% the fucking opposite.
Blizzard full tilt copied the Warhammer 40k mythology for Starcraft, and hell even Warcraft. I mean god love'em because Gamesworkshop wasn't getting the job done in the mid 90s, but to talk about Warhammer 40k like its some Jonnie come lately is an Abomination! Bard seemed to have a slight understanding of where the franchises are coming from but he didn't correct anyone, understandable since he had only been on the show for a month or so.

Healthcare Subsidies Under the Affordable Care Act
Everyone wants to know - How Do I Get a Subsidy For My Healthcare Costs?
The amount of money you can save depends on your family size and income. In general, people at the following income levels will qualify to save money on healthcare premiums in 2014. The lower your income, the higher your savings will be. (The amounts shown below are based on 2013 numbers and will be slightly higher in 2014.)
| Beginning in October 2013, middle-income people under the age of 65 years old, who are not eligible for coverage through their employer, Medicaid, or Medicare, can apply for tax credit health insurance subsidies available through state-based exchanges.Each state also has the option to expand their Medicaid programs to cover all people making up to 138% of the federal poverty level (which is about $33,000 for a family of four). In states that decide not to expand Medicaid, some people making below this amount will still be eligible for Medicaid, some will be eligible for subsidized coverage through Marketplaces, and others will not be eligible for subsidies.
Health Insurance subsidies are available for these income levels:
How Much Subsidy Can You Get?
Get a Job as a Health Exchange Navigator
The Obama administration has allocated to the Department of Health and Human Services over $54 million in grants for Affordable Care Act Navigators – people and organizations that will be trained to help explain the new health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act. It is expected that tens of thousands of both volunteer and paid Navigators will be needed to explain the provisions to consumers.
How many jobs will be created for Navigators? It is rumored that California's exchange alone is hiring over 20,000 Navigators. Estimates are that over one hundred thousand public sector jobs, paying between $18 and $40 per hour, will be created. Of course this also means that there will need to be specialists, middle managers, and career employees who may make more than that amount. Read More Here….

Just now figuring out that joy and suffering are all tangled up together and to avoid one is to miss out on the other. Trying to grab hold of joy where ever it is found and hold on tight.
We Were Sisters
Here it is.
My accompanist in college was named George. When you are a voice major a good accompanist is a very important thing to have. George was very good. We spent a lot of time rehearsing. We didn't really hang out socially, but we were friends.
George was married to a sweet girl and they had a little baby boy. George was also Mormon.
Cut to a year later, word spread, somehow as it does, through the college, "George has stomach cancer. He only has a few weeks to live. If you want to say good bye, go to the hospital now."
They hadn't told anyone he had cancer, they were trying alternative treatments, it hadn't worked. Now the end was near.
Now, I grew up praying for sick people to get better. You can doubt my sanity all you want, but some of them actually did. Lots of them didn't. I once watched as a girl with a severely sprained and casted ankle, in the space of about 3 minutes went from terribly swollen to the cast being so loose it was falling off and she could jump on it.
See, that there, already there are people from other Christian traditions who are backing up mentally because that's just weird. And they're right, it is weird. But so was Jesus. I mean, the guy raised people from the dead and healed them and stuff and told his disciples to keep on doing it after he left. I grew up believing that was still our job.
Anyway, there was no way I wasn't going to pray for my friend George to get well. If you've seen it work even once, you aren't going to not try that option when a friend is at death's door. At least, I wasn't.
But he was Mormon, so I was super nervous, because I didn't want to offend him and I didn't know if he would let me. Also, what if it didn't work? I mean, it might not, and then what?
So I took myself down to the hospital and there was a crowd of rowdy music majors hanging out in his room chatting, so I waited. They left. It was just George, and his wife, who's name I forget now, sadly, and me. I was just mustering the courage to ask him if I could pray for him when the door opened again and a lady from their church walked in.
She sat on the foot of his hospital bed and looked at the two of them. "I just had to tell you something. I was praying today, and I don't know why he chose me, but I just know," here she paused to push past tears, "I just KNOW that God loves me. I don't know why he would give me a gift like that, to just know and feel it but I do, and I want to share it with you."
Well, that rocked my little Christian world.
I recognized her. Or rather, I recognized the spirit in her. It was the same spirit that was in me. We were sisters, and I knew it.
So I asked then if I we could pray for George.
"You be the voice Carrien", he said, and stretched his long arms and huge pianist hands to either side of his bed as we all joined hands. It wasn't a great prayer, but it was sincere.
"Father, you say that by your stripes we are healed, so I ask you to heal George. I want him to be here to watch his little boy grow up. I know you can if you choose, so I'm asking, just in case."
That woman, who's name I never learned just stared at me. I could see it, the way her eyes widened and her gaze narrowed straight on me. She was looking for something to say, but I knew what she was feeling. "You are a very special person," she said, over and over again, "You are a very special person."
I think she recognized me too. We were sisters.
But she was Mormon and I think they believe crazy things. Look who's talking.
But we were sisters.
That day undid me. I could never dismiss another's faith again, as I had so glibly in the past, because, they might be sisters, or brothers. God didn't seem to need them to agree with me in order to speak to them and tell them he loves them, in a way that they know, deep down, that it's true.
Later when I met my father in law I became familiar with a saying of his in his book Authority to Heal and it rang true from my experience. "God seems to be willing to transmit on any antenna we put up."
If God isn't picky, who am I to be?
And with that, I offer my rally to restore unity sign.
Go check out the rally page. They're also raising donations for Charity: water.

Beautiful story. Loved the sign too. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Thank you for this, Carrien.ReplyDelete
When we lived in Texas, I became friends with two absolutely wonderful women who happen to be Mormon. They completely rocked every preconceived notion I had of that faith. And I knew - I KNEW - from the moment I met them that they were sisters. There's just that, well, Spirit-meets-Spirit moment, you know? I knew it with them instantly.
I loved this story and I think it's a perfect addition to the chorus singing unity this week.
That was beautiful! And I don't think you are crazy...the gospel is filled with stories of Jesus healing people and He said we would do greater things than He. I believe that you did a great thing that day!ReplyDelete

Brave a new Pixar film will be shown in theaters on June 22nd 2012. A story about Merida (Kelly Macdonald) who is a skilled archer and the daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). This young lady is determined to set her on path in this life and she openly defies old traditions which brought on an uproar in the kingdom. Chaos ensues in the land which leads Merida to seek the help of an old witch (Julie Walters), although this move seems to have caused an ill-fated curse upon her. Merida will have to discover the true meaning of bravery to be able to undo this curse before it is too late. As early as now Brave is starting to gain a lot of buzz from critics and movie fans all over the world. Let's take a look at an early news provided to us by Ben Child on the movie "Brave"
"Brave: A Feisty Fairytale Brought To Us By Pixar
You might expect a studio with films of the quality of Up, Wall-E, Ratatouille and Toy Story 3 to be excused for making the odd turkey, yet there are still those who haven't forgiven Pixar for churning out thedistinctly average Cars 2 last year. They're the studio that are often seen as the antidote to bland Hollywood commercialism, so Cars 2′s vapidity stuck in the craw of critics almost as much as the sudden availability of entire fleets of branded merchandise. The good news is that the Emeryville-based production company's latest offering, Brave, has the feel of a stout-hearted return to form, one that doesn't look like a strong candidate for a cynical marketing drive.
On paper, the movie appears an easy target for cynics. It began life under a different director, Brenda Chapman, and with a different title, The Bear and the Bow. It will arrive in July almost two years after the release of rival Dreamworks' How to Train Your Dragon, which also featured a largely Scottish cast of rambunctious bruisers and a young hero who did not quite fit in. Brave is Pixar's first fairytale, previously the preserve of the more traditional, less daring Disney (which bought Pixar in 2006). It even has a tough female protagonist known for her skill with a bow and arrow, echoing the plot of this year's biggest blockbuster The Hunger Games. And yet from a few minutes into the half hour of preview footage journalists were shown in central London last month, it became clear that Brave is its own beast.
It offers a delightfully modern, feminist twist on the traditional fairytale princess narrative. Not only is Merida, voiced by Kelly MacDonald, unimpressed by the three suitors sent to battle for her hand in marriage, she's quite capable of knocking all of them on their backsides. Her father King Fergus (voiced by Billy Connolly) is an enormous boisterous man-child with a peg-leg, rather than the bland, majestic figure one might expect from a Disney confection. It is left to the more statesmanlike queen (Emma Thompson) to make her feisty red-headed daughter aware of her duties – the entire kingdom is likely to go up in flames if Merida isn't married – though one gets the impression that Fergus would probably be quite up for the ruck."

I've visited this site a few times and read some interesting threads. Now, on a cold, grey evening in London I've finally gotten round to signing up.
It's perhaps hard to say anything original on a site like this as I suppose everyone ended up here for the same reason - a love of the King.
What can I say. I remember reading the Shining when I was at school - a long time ago, I remember that it was the only book (except for the Turn of the Screw) which made me literally look over my shoulder several times. And I remember loving that feeling.
In my teens I remember sitting on a fallen tree in the local woods on hot summer days, reading the Tommy Knockers and smoking cigarettes I'd pinched off my big sister.
Since then I've read SK books intermittently, but I realise that much like my drinking, it has surreptitiously crept up over the years.
First it was one every few years, then one every year as a treat, now as soon as i finish one, I'm itching for the next.
Today sheltering from the cold I went into a bookshop and found myself leafing through the Stand, which I've never read. Apparently it was an expanded version of the original. I've always meant to read the Stand as people rave about it, so now I'm wondering - should I hit the original, or proceed straight to the extra large version. Any advice, gratefully received.

Department of Albert Dorman Honors College
Graduate Study for Honors Students
The BS/MS Program
As an Honors Scholar, you have an opportunity to get started early on a graduate degree at NJIT. The BS/MS program allows you to take two (or, for some programs, four) graduate courses as an undergraduate and have them count for both the undergraduate degree and a later graduate degree at NJIT. This and other features of this program make it possible to rapidly complete a graduate degree within only one or two semesters after completion of the undergraduate degree, saving you both time and money. Similar programs exist for outstanding students in other programs such as those in Business and Management and in Architecture.
As an added inducement, any graduate courses taken are counted as Honors courses (for a grade of B or higher), up to a total of four. See Honors Course Requirements.
Participating in the BS/MS program does not obligate you to attend graduate school at NJIT.
In order to take advantage of this opportunity, you must visit the Graduate Studies Office, 140 Fenster Hall, and have the two graduate courses identified and approved no later than the end of your junior year. The courses you select for the BS/ MS program must be approved before taking them or they will not be counted for both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Part-time students may also be in the BS/MS.
In addition to the two double-counted courses taken within the BS/MS, any undergraduate student with GPA of at least 2.8 may take up to three other graduate courses with approval of both the graduate school and the undergraduate advisor (see the Registrar's web page for forms). Again, all such courses receive Honors credit, up to a total of four.
Special BS/MS program are available in Business and Management and in Architecture.
Please visit the web sites for the BS/MS Program and NJIT Graduate Admissions for more information.

Which Type of Blender Should I Get?
Whether you put dinner on the table every night or are a holiday-only kind of chef, chances are you could use a good blender, immersion blender, food processor, or stand mixer. Each of these appliances make food prep faster, expand the range of recipes you can tackle, and can greatly improve the quality of your cooking and baking in the process. Although there's some overlap in what these machines can do, they excel at different tasks.
It can get confusing when trying to decide which one fits your specific needs, so here's a rundown to help you decide which you'll get the most use from. We discuss which tasks each item is great at, what each is not great at, and what you should definitely not use each for.
Table of contents
Countertop blender | Immersion blender | Food processor | Stand mixer | Hand mixer
Countertop blender
Blenders fall into two categories: "regular" blenders meant for occasional use, and powerful high-performance blenders that are more versatile, durable, and expensive. The type you should buy really depends on what (and how frequently) you plan to blend.
Standard blender ($100-200)
|Great at:
|Emulsifying mayo, pureeing soup, making smoothies and blended cocktails.
|Not that good at:
|Making absolutely silky smoothies, blending fibrous greens, whipping foods.
|Don't use it for:
|Kneading dough, mashing potatoes, grinding nut butters, chopping vegetables, grinding bread crumbs.
|Space hog?
|These are shorter and smaller than high-performance blenders, about 15½ inches tall, with a 7-by-8½-inch footprint.
|Best if:
|You only plan to make the occasional smoothie, pureed soup, dip, or batch of margaritas—say, a few times a week—and you don't mind slightly chunkier textures.
High performance blender ($250-450)
|Great at:
|Emulsifying mayo, pureeing soup, making smoothies and blended cocktails, whipping cream, grinding nut butters.
|Not that good at:
|Chopping vegetables or grinding bread crumbs.
|Don't use it for:
|Kneading dough, mashing potatoes.
|Space hog?
|It's tall (about 18 inches) but the counter footprint isn't that big, roughly 8 x 9 inches.
|Best if:
|You're committing to a healthier diet (like daily superfood smoothies), you want to achieve satiny smooth purees, or you need a really durable machine that will handle years of regular use.
Immersion blender
Because you immerse the blade of this type of blender directly into a mixing bowl, stock pot, or mixing cup, it also makes for much easier cleanup than an upright blender. A quick rinse under the faucet is usually enough to clean the blending wand. And because the wand and handle (which houses the motor) are detachable, you can always run the blade-end through the dishwasher.
Immersion blenders also come with attachments, such as a mini chopper and egg whipper. We've found the mini chopper in particular to be really helpful for processing things like herbs, nuts, and baby food. We also think an immersion blender is a great tool to use in other peoples' kitchens, since you can easily bring it to an underequipped vacation cabin or holiday gathering.
If you're accident-prone, this may not be your appliance. Many cooks have mangled fingers on the unprotected blades in a split-second of carelessness. It can also be easy to splatter yourself with hot liquid if you're not careful. On that note, avoid rooster-tailing mixtures over countertops (and yourself) by using the blender's tall cup when making smoothies, vinaigrettes, and other liquid recipes.
Great at:
|Emulsifying mayo, pureeing soup in the pot, processing small batches of baby food or herbs with a mini-chopper, whipping cream if you have an attachment.
Not that good at:
|Making silky purees, crushing ice, or processing small amounts of wet foods and things in short containers (because ingredients can splatter!).
Don't use it for:
|Kneading dough, mashing potatoes.
Space hog?
|It's small enough to fit in a kitchen drawer, especially when the handle and blending wand are detached; each measures roughly 9 inches long and 3 inches at their widest points.
Best if:
|You make a lot of pureed soups and hate transferring hot liquid to a blending jar, you want to make single-serving smoothies and other small-batch recipes, you have a one- or two-person household, or you don't have room for a larger appliance.
Food processor
With a little effort you can also puree wet ingredients (like tomatoes for sauce) in a food processor, but the donut-shaped container doesn't handle liquids as well as a blender does. The horizontal s-shape blade in a food processor is larger than the angled blades in a blender and the processing bowl is also wider and flatter at the bottom. Combined, these features create a wider, slower vortex perfectly suited for chopping. You'll find that it's easier to get a uniform rough chop for things like pico de gallo or salmon burgers with a food processor than you can get with either a stick or upright blenders (which will turn these types of dishes into mush). You'll also find that a food processor can do a great job making dips like hummus or even pesto.
It's the only small appliance that can make quick work of pie dough. Just a few pulses will cut cold butter into flour for minimal melting and maximum flakiness.
Like a blender, you can make ice cream in a food processor if you're working with frozen base ingredients. Likewise, you can grind frozen meats for burgers. These machines can even replace a stand mixer for blending baking recipes, but you need to use recipes specifically developed for a food processor or you risk overmixing doughs and batters, which can result in tough breads and cakes.
If you only want to thinly slice vegetables and don't have space for a food processor, consider picking up a mandoline instead.
Unlike a blender or immersion blender, you're not going to find a good budget food processor. A quality machine needs to have a heavy motor base to keep it solidly grounded. Cheap ones usually have such lightweight bases that the machine will skitter across the countertop when the motor hits the slightest resistance (and forget about blending dough in one!). Food processors come in a variety of sizes. We found that a 11- to 14-cup processor is most useful for most people.
|Great at:
|Making rough chopped salsas, blending hummus, grating cheese, slicing veggies for coleslaw, making pie and pizza doughs.
Not that good at:
|Pureeing soups, mixing cake or bread recipes (unless using one developed specifically for a food processor).
|Don't use it for:
|Making margaritas for a party, blending smoothies, or small batches of things like mayonnaise and vinaigrette.
|Space hog?
|At 15½ inches tall, it's short enough to fit under most cupboards, but the 8-by-9½ inch base takes up a lot of counter space.
|Best if:
|You regularly chop vegetables for things like salsa or mirepoix, you like making shredded salads, you want to slice potato or beet chips without using a mandoline, you plan to shred mass quantities of cheese, you make a lot of pizza or pie dough.
Stand mixer
Quality stand mixers tend to be big and heavy; like food processors, the bases need some heft to keep them from "walking" across the counter when the motor strains. Because these machines aren't easy to move (and they are expensive), it's best to invest in a stand mixer only if you'll use it often (two to three times a week). Otherwise, get a hand mixer to occasional cream butter and sugar for cookies or to whip cream.
|Great at:
|Mixing batters and frostings, making pie dough, kneading bread dough, whipping cream and eggs, mashing potatoes (as long as you don't overmix), and (with the right attachments) grinding meat, rolling pasta, and churning ice cream.
|Not that good at:
|Blending small batches.
|Don't use it for:
|Pureeing or chopping anything.
|Space hog?
|Stand mixers are pretty big—14-by-8⅔ inches at the base, and 14 inches tall—and weigh in at around 22 pounds.
|Best if:
|You bake a lot (two or three times weekly), you like homemade pasta, you make sausages.
Hand mixer
If you want a mixer for baking but don't need the blending power of a full stand mixer, a hand mixer is what you want. This compact, economical hand-held device easily whips egg whites to stiff peaks for cakes or soufflés, will cream sugar and butter for cookie dough, and will quickly whip cream. Some come with attachments for mashing potatoes and blending bread doughs.
For the occasional batch of whipped cream or beating eggs, you could also use an immersion blender with a whisk attachment, but it's a little less convenient. You can simply turn on a hand mixer, while you need to hold down the pulse button on an immersion blender. The whisk attachment on a hand mixer is also a little bigger. Otherwise, both machines are about on par in terms of performance. Hand mixers are also small enough to fit in a drawer or cupboard, a big plus if you have a small kitchen.
|Great at:
|Beating egg whites, whipping cream, blending cookie dough, mixing frosting, mashing potatoes (as long as you don't overmix).
|Not that good at:
|Mixing dense bread doughs.
|Don't use it for:
|Pureeing or chopping, mixing in a short container (because ingredients will splatter).
|Space hog?
|Most hand mixers are small—8.5 x 4 x 9 inches—and roughly 9 pounds.
|Best if:
|You occasionally need to beat egg whites or whip cream, you like to make cookies or cakes a few times a year, you want an easy way to mash potatoes, you don't have space for a stand mixer.

Welcome to Ellicar Gardens
Ellicar Gardens is a young, vibrant family garden set in 5 acres. Owners Will (Horticulturalist) and Sarah Murch, (Garden Designer) have set about creating a naturalistic garden that is as rich and diverse in wildlife as it is in plants.
With sweeping borders and flower gardens spilling into wildflower meadows, the garden includes a winter garden, gravel garden, rose garden, orchard and a new Bird Garden with its Crab Apple Avenue leading down to 'Hannah's Wood.'
Children love exploring the School Garden, Tree House and Willow Maze and the focal point of our garden and family life is a beautiful 300sqm Natural Swimming Pool.
The garden is also home to some of our Rare Breed Pets – they are always happy to greet garden visitors

Silicon (although never in the elemental form) is present in all living organisms and is required for the production of structural materials in single-celled organisms through to higher plants and animals. Hydrated amorphous silica is a mineral of infinite functionality and yet it is formed into structures with microscopic and macroscopic form. Research into the mechanisms controlling the process have highlighted proteins and proteoglycans as possible control molecules. Such molecules are suggested to play a critical role in the catalysis of silica polycondensation reactions and in structure direction. This article reviews information on silica form and function, silica condensation chemistry, the role of macromolecules in structure control and in vitro studies of silica formation using biomolecules extracted from biological silicas. An understanding of the mechanisms by which biological organisms regulate mineral formation will assist in our understanding of the essentiality of silicon to life processes and in the generation of new materials with specific form and function for industrial application in the 21st century.

Brief introduction and history:
I've loved music since I was a child, but the results of my experiments with music in school were poor. Starting from Jr. High school, I became a big fan of Y.M.O., so I bought a synthesizer and participated in cover bands and such with friends. Around then, synthesizers started dropping in price and every year more and more new equipment would go on sale, so it was an interesting time. It was also around then that videogames started developing, and like most youths of the time I got hooked on them. After graduating high school, I bought a new synthesizer and wondered if I could find any part time work that was compatible with my love for games and music, so I applied at Bothtec, and when the opportunity came for them to employ me, I entered this industry. When Bothtec became part of the Quest brand, I began working for Quest. A year later I began working independently, and have been a freelancer ever since.
Message to your overseas fans:
To be honest, I don't really know how many people who enjoy my music are located overseas, but I'm going to keep trying to write better music, so please keep supporting me.

I'm interested in three books, one from each of these trainers. Any recommendation as to which one to start with? I was thinking Bill or Tom since they came first, but I can't decide between the two. As I understand it, Ray Hunt was their student. I thought I'd read his last, but maybe he would explain it better and I could skip Bill and Tom's? Anyway, the three books are:
"True Horsemanship Through Feel" -Bill Dorrance
"True Unity: Willing Communication Between Horse and Human" -Tom Dorrance
True Unity: Willing Communication Between Horse and Human: Tom Dorrance, Milly Hunt Porter: 9780985083908: Amazon.com: Books
"Think Harmony With Horses" -Ray Hunt
Think Harmony With Horses: An In-Depth Study of Horse/Man Relationship: Ray Hunt, Millie Hunt: 9780914330158: Amazon.com: Books
