Open up new shredding possibilities and choose your own destiny with the Nitro Women's Fate Zero Camber Snowboard. It has a versatile flat profile, directional twin shape, and medium flex so you can conquer any and every type of terrain on the mountain.
The Zero Camber profile is flat for a stable and forgiving feel that still retains much of the pop and edge hold that you get from a cambered board. The Powerlite core uses ultra-lightweight poplar for an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, and Reflex core profiling thins the core between your feet to increase torsional flex for easy steering.
A twin shape with a slightly setback stance increases float in powder and control at high speeds, yet can still comfortably be ridden switch so you can throw down in the park. Biax glass keeps the flex buttery and consistent for locked-in presses and smooth turns, and the Speed Formula HD sintered base is lightning-fast and tough to withstand impacts.

Sun Advocate reporter
A two car accident on a section of U.S. 6 between the Wasatch County line and Soldier Summit left three people injured, including one in critical condition.
At approximately 10:25 a.m. Friday morning, a gold Ford sedan was driving eastbound when the driver, who was not identified, allegedly crossed over into oncoming traffic, hitting a 2002 Chevy pickup head on. The pickup had two passengers, who were also not identified, including a 4-year-old boy. The accident caused the truck to drop down an embankment about 50 to 60 feet from the road.
According to Utah State Highway Patrol Trooper Greg Funk the stretch of road where the accident occurred was slightly snow-covered and icy. He also said that the driver of the Ford may have been driving too fast for the conditions of the road.
The driver of the Ford was found unconscious at the scene and was Lifeflighted by helicopter to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo in critical condition, according to Funk. The occupants of the Chevy truck were transported by ambulance to Castleview Hospital in Price with serious injuries, according to Funk.
Respondents to the scene included the Utah Highway Patrol, Carbon County ambulance and fire department, a Lifeflight helicopter from Provo and tow trucks from Helper.
The highway was closed in both directions for over two hours and left traffic backed up for miles.

Compliance Assistance & Pollution Prevention in New England
EPA recognizes the need to assist the regulated community. Compliance assistance helps those in business, industry, institutions, and government understand and meet their legal obligations. Assistance can also help the regulated community find cost-effective ways to go "beyond compliance" or reduce its regulatory burden through the use of Pollution Prevention, Environmental Management Systems, or Environmental Technologies.
- EPA works with state and local governments, trade associations, non-profit organizations and others in developing and providing assistance activities and tools.
- Assistance is provided in a variety of ways such as workshops, on-site visits, and training manuals.
- Assistance may be specific to a certain regulatory requirement (e.g. storm water management, diesel idling) or program (e.g. Smart Way, Resource Conservation Challenge), or it may be sector-oriented to address the issues of a particular audience:

LONDON (MarketWatch) — "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers," IBM Chairman Thomas Watson is reputed to have remarked in 1943. That should be enough to warn anyone off making a prediction about anything.
Still, since we are stuck in the quiet space between Christmas and New Year, and the Mayan prediction of the world ending last week turned to be about as accurate as Watson's, here are seven surprises to watch out for in the year ahead.
One: A Russian financial crisis
Europe is slowly waking up to the potential of shale gas. The U.K. has vast reserves, and so do France and Poland. France and Britain are trapped with high debts, expensive welfare states and low growth. They are not in any position to worry about the environment — they need growth and tax revenues from somewhere and turning themselves into energy exporters is one of the few options available.
Good news for them, but very bad news for the major supplier of oil and gas to the European market. That's Russia, a country that had grown wealthy on pipelines taking its energy west.
Take away energy exports and Russia is a big, corrupt country run by ruthless oligarchs that doesn't make anything that anyone wants very much to buy. A sudden loss of confidence will see its markets collapse.
Two: Angela Merkel loses power in Germany
No leader of a major euro-zone country has been re-elected since the debt crisis began. Can Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel break that streak when she faces re-election this autumn? No. True, her Christian Democrat Party may be ahead in the polls. But her coalition partners the Free Democrats will get wiped out.
With Germany going into recession and the bills for the euro crisis dropping on Germany's doormat, this is going to be a bad year for a German politician to be facing the voters. The Social Democratic Party leader Peer Steinbrück will take power at the head of a Red-Green coalition. That will be the trigger for investors to realize Germany is not the safe haven they thought it was — and not the success story either.
Three: The cell phone industry goes into decline
The most successful new industry of the last two decades? Easy. Cell-phones. The mobile networks, led by the likes of Vodafone VOD, -0.28% and Verizon VZ, -0.16% have become modern industrial giants.
But Vodafone is already reporting falling sales in Spain and Italy as recession-hit consumers decide that when money is tight, tweeting on your way home from work is not really an essential. Consumers in other countries will soon reach the same conclusion.
When there is free wi-fi everywhere, and your smartphone is a pocket computer that takes pictures, plays music and sends email, as well as making an occasional call, who needs to pay for an expensive network tariff? 2013 will be the year the mobile networks start a relentless decline — and investors head for the exit.

Mexico urges court to block part of Arizona law
PHOENIX — The Mexican government is urging a U.S. court to prevent Arizona
from enforcing a minor section of the state's immigration law that prohibited
the harboring of illegal immigrants.
Lawyers representing Mexico asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a filing
Wednesday to uphold a lower-court ruling that blocked police from enforcing the
Mexico argues in its friend-of-the-court brief that the ban harms diplomatic
relations between the United States and undermines America's ability to speak to
a foreign country with one voice.
The harboring ban was in effect from late July 2010 until U.S. District Judge
Susan Bolton blocked its enforcement on Sept. 5.
Bolton had said two weeks before shelving the ban that she knew of no arrests
that were made under the provision.

Islam vs. Christianity
On the other hand, I'm not being tortured, dismembered, or beheaded for choosing a religion, or lack thereof, with the current flavor of Christianity. I observe one group and find blatant savagery, tribal hatred, and a primitive, diabolical faith -- Islam. Then I observe Christianity, a beautiful faith which seems pleasant, clean, soft-toned, and proper in form and comeliness, but when I look at her underhandedness and manipulation of the world, I am equally appalled at what I see.
In the early 90's, just after my high school graduation, I had a job with Subway. One bright Monday afternoon, I was taking orders and making sandwiches as usual when a nicely dressed saleswoman came in, a knockout in the looks department. I noticed she didn't order anything, but just sat down at a table and waited for the line of customers to die down. I was young and naive at the time, and unbeknownst to me, was having a sales pitch pulled on me. It was very cleverly done. She was a smooth operator, peddling some cologne for men. I later learned one of the bright and shining pendants on her suit coat was an award for the most sales at her company. She worked me like a pro, starting in with polished small talk and ready answers for every reason I had not to buy..."What? You don't wear cologne? Women love cologne. Here, check out this sample, doesn't it smell good?" If she hadn't been so damn attractive, I would have felt verbally assaulted and told her to read the sign on the front door, "No Solicitors!" She didn't succeed in selling me, but sure as hell did a good job trying. When I discovered her intentions, the awestruck-ness went away. Her initial kindness and flirtatious personality, her goodly appearance and apparent interest in talking to me was all a nice facade, a put-on. I was no longer interested in what she had to say.
Christianity is a sweet-talking sales gal too. She can be hard to turn away from until we see her true colors. Underneath, she is not as noble and majestic as her contenders would like you to believe she is.
What kind of words can I use to describe Christianity? None really, the reason being, Christianity's forms are always diverse and changing depending on what angle a given set of her promoters are seeking to fight for.
But I am afraid of her...I'm afraid of one day waking up to a nation where the education departments promote creationism along side evolution, lumping superstition in with science. I'm afraid of our nation having to one day face greater difficulties because of religiously influenced leaders and commanders who feel compelled to put our soldiers in harm's way out of the Christian compulsion to keep helping the Jews fight their wars, while it costs the lives of our boys in green. I'm afraid of getting out of bed one day to find a government that has reverted back to oppressive edicts and judgments, like "Blue Law Weekends" and other unwanted products of biblical influences. I'm afraid to think of all the lives that will be lost if Christianity and her proponents continually stand against stem cell research and other developments of the vital sciences out of foolish superstitious paranoia. I'm afraid to one day open my eyes to find censorship increased and freedom of speech hemmed in, resulting in a greater stifling of liberty. I'm afraid to think of the loads of psychological damage inflicted by parents, pastors, and counselors, upon the kids and young adults in their care, who impose the damaging and restricting principles of New Testament morality and sexuality on their minds. I'm afraid to think that the right-wingers will one day get their wish and have abortion banned, forcing many handicapped children into lives of despair, and bringing more unneeded human lives into this world, weakening it. I'm afraid of growing old and one day being incapacitated by a stroke, and finding others having to wait on me, hand and foot, since euthanasia would be outlawed. This is why I am afraid of Christianity.
These changes would happen slowly, with sleight-of-hand motives and pie crust promises of politicians...subtely and discreetly, with the replacing of rulers, and the making of policies.
When I find myself contemplating the underhanded wiles of Christianity, I am reminded of this quote by Cicero...
"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."
- Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Orator (106-43 B.C.E). "Speech in the Roman Senate."
Like Cicero's description of the traitor, Christianity is a disarming opponent. Few seem prepared to handle her, and this can make her a greater threat than her vicious and cruel stepchild, Islam.
Then there is another factor involved: influence. We have to ask...which faith, with their dangerous and subversive qualities, can be the most far-reaching? Islam does not hold back their hatred of decency or civility. The powers that be - those countries who value love and peace - will see the beast coming, and knowing it's intentions, will knock the atrocious creature down to size and it will scurry off again to try another day. It is easily watched and tracked, and if kept on a short leash, does little harm. The beast is also poorly funded and it's grubby paws do not have access to the latest and best technologies. They can build gas chambers, but not atomic bombs. Christianity, in contrast, is sly, a seductive whore who sleeps with those in power to gain power of her own. She has greater influence, decadent wealth and funding, and access to the best technology on the planet. Currently, she stands as the most numerous of religions. One could well argue that this puts Christianity in the lead as a more dangerous force to be reckoned with.
So which is worse, the diabolical Beast of Islam or the turncoat Bride of Christ? I can't decide. I can't bring myself to identify either of them as categorically worse than the other. They are both abominations to mankind, and the sooner they perish from the face of the earth, the better.

By WALT BORLASun Advocate guest writer
Brady Martinez, the former all-state pitch for Carbon High, is playing for the Kansas City Entry in the AA northern league.
The league counts teams in North and South Dakota; Illinois; Winnipeg, Canada and Kansas. Brady is in his second year of pro baseball, having pitched for Charleston and South Carolina last year.
After graduating from Carbon High he enrolled at the University of Utah where he played for a year prior to going on his church mission.
After completing his mission he transferred to Arizona State before signing a pro contract.
Two Carbon High diamond stars received second team class 3A all-star recognition from a Salt Lake sports page. Whitney Williams, a catcher on the Dino softball team and Ron Herrera, center-fielder and part time pitcher for the Dino's baseball team were accorded the honors.
Kevin Nay, named the states outstanding class 2A baseball player this past spring, has committed to attend the College of Eastern Utah and pitch for the Golden Eagles.
Nay compiled an 11-1 record while pitching his Gunnison team to the 2A state championship. In doing so he set a new state career strikeout record with 340.
Local sports enthusiasts sadly noted the recent death of Joe Busico in Tooele.
Busico refereed many a CEU basketball game over the years and was highly regarded as one of the finest referees in the state.
For several years he annually brought his Busico Cash Store basketball teams to the Helper Invitational Tournament, having won the tournament once years ago.
Busico, probably umpired as many softball, baseball and football games as anyone in the state.

As we publish our latest Friday Favorites, I am thankful that my family and friends are all safe after Hurricane Sandy. Some were out of town on business when the storm hit and are heading home soon and others live above 39th and were not affected by the power outages. My mom and stepdad are still without power which has lead them to go a little stir crazy more than anything else. They may break a world record on rounds of Gin Rummy. And it was a welcome surprise to invite friends for Halloween night who couldn't get back to NYC until yesterday. Candy and costumes were a great distraction from their travel pains.
Alison's Pick
MacAlister High Heel Ankle Boot, $158 J. Crew
Spotted these ankle boots on a salesperson at J. Crew while shopping with a private client. We were both instantly smitten. Both of us nabbed a pair. These work perfectly on my days off as a casual go-to pair of shoes that still give me some height without the painful effect of stilettos. In store they were on sale for $108 and an additional 30% off that day. Scout around, they're worth it!

Lauren Scharf's Pick
Julie Wions' Stationary, $28 for a set Creations By Julie
With Thanksgiving and other family holidays coming up, I find myself growing more nostalgic and homesick each day. I love these note card sets from Creations by Julie because they spark a homey feeling in me and hopefully everyone I send them to. They're bright and colorful and each colored pencil drawing evokes a good ol' childhood memory, like baking cookies or proudly showing off my freshly packed snowman. In addition to the warm, ooey-gooey feeling I get from the pictures, a portion of each purchase goes toward the fight against Lou Gehrig's Disease, so you can send love to family, friends, and a good cause.
Christina Moffitino's Pick
BB Cream by Clinique, Sephora
I was doubtful of the trendy beauty cream, but after a couple weeks of using it I've added it to my beauty regimen. If you're like me and always on the go, then going from three steps to only one helps save a lot of time. The BB creme is a primer, foundation, tinted moisturizer with SPF all in one! I've noticed my face is a lot more supple and has a great glow. Most beauty lines have picked up on this little secret. So you can get it at high-end beauty stores and convenient drug stores like CVS.
Christina Wright's Pick
Viv Striped Flats, J. Crew
I am slightly obsessed (probably over 20 articles of clothing obsessed) with stripes! It's like my habit with aqua, I'm just drawn to buy things that are striped or aqua...and I'm trying really hard to break the cycle. BUT, until then, I must have these adorable pointy toe navy stripe ballet flats from J. Crew! They would go perfect with just about anything. When I am working a wedding, ballet flats are my go-to shoes, so these would keep my feet stylish and comfortable. What more can a gal ask for?!

POTSDAM The Potsdam Humane Society is urgently looking for prospective pet owners as the shelter continues to fill with more felines than it can handle.
Cats like Conan, Moo Moo, Bojangles and more than 150 others prowl the shelter, which is at a loss for how to deal with the surplus.
This is the fullest and busiest weve ever been, shelter employee Bonnie Peryer said.
Those who work at the shelter refer to springtime as kitten season, when they receive more cats than at any other time. This year, however, kitten season didnt end. They just kept coming.
To combat overpopulation, the shelter began offering half off the price of adopting cats at the start of the summer. The initiative was meant to last only a week or two, but kittens and strays kept coming in, and the reduced costs stayed.
Last week the shelter took it a step further, giving cats and kittens away for free in an initiative dubbed Feline Fiesta.
Ms. Peryer said this giveaway has led to an increase in adoptions, but not enough to reduce the shelters population significantly. Feline Fiesta was supposed to last only a week, but it has been extended to the end of the month.
Ms. Peryer said she will be taking a vacation soon, but hopes to return to find the shelters efforts have been successful.
Im hoping to come back to everyone having been adopted and all new animals coming in, she said.
Potsdam resident Erwin Zahler said this summers sale prompted him and his fiancee, Michele Rudlong, to adopt two strays from the shelter: Oliver and Felix. When they heard the shelter was giving cats away, they adopted a third and named him Zeus.
Theyre doing great. They are very well behaved, Mr. Zahler said.
New animals are brought in as fast as space is made for them. The shelter is running at maximum capacity, and the waiting list is so full it may take six months to a year for owners looking to give up their pets to be able to give them to the society. These owners are redirected around the region from shelter to shelter, many of which are suffering from the same overpopulation problems.
At the start of 2013, the Potsdam Humane Society was caring for 45 dogs and 93 cats. It is now up to 60 and 162, respectively.
Dog adoptions will be free starting next week, although puppy adoptions still will cost money.
Normally the cost is $50 for cats, $75 for kittens, $95 for dogs and $115 for puppies.
By giving its animals away, the shelter may be taking steps to solve one problem while exacerbating another. Each animal that comes through the doors costs the Humane Society an estimated $180 to care for, and the shelter already is operating a deficit spurred by a drop in donations.
The society is relying on these dwindling donations more than ever, but for the moment, the highest priority is bringing the number of animals down to manageable levels, even if it means giving them away, according to Humane Society Director Alicia M. Maynard.
At least its helping us right now getting animals into homes, she said.
Ms. Maynard said she wants to focus the societys efforts on expanding education initiatives and spay/neuter programs, taking steps to help stop animal overpopulation before it starts.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 18 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by TravelMan Nice Silk Shirt - Worthy of Wardrobe Rotation It's a nice silk shirt - pay attention to the weave pattern, I overlooked that part - if that's not what you're looking for, you may be a bit surprised. I've read other reviews about the shrinkage of up to a full size and almost didn't buy the shirt. Did it shrink? A bit, but nothing beyond what I would expect for silk; and the shrinkage is almost 100% recoverable when you iron the shirt. So, if you can't, don't or won't iron a shirt - you'll experience the shrinkage thing others have talked about; really, it takes at max 7 minutes to iron a shirt. If you can iron - you'll enjoy this shirt. The texture was a bit of a surprise, but not enough to be disappointed; it's worthy of adding to wardrobe rotation. July 17, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by 1Kflyer yep, it certainly shrinks OK, i get that it can be ironed out. But it is a travel shirt, people. I bought these b/c i couldnt buy anymore of the light white cotton/linen square-bottom shortsleeved shirts (were those discontinued?). I sure loved the two i got, until i went to wash them a few days into our vacation and then I suddenly had no nice casual options with me. So, I'm returning them. Y'all know they shrink by now, Travelsmith, so please put this into the description or something. January 17, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by CatYogaMama Definitely Needs Ironing My husband has sensitive skin and the Sedona shirt has become the only shirt he can wear to work. He owns several short sleeve and several long sleeve Sedona shirts. The shirt drapes beautifully, resists wrinkles and feels soft and comfortable against his skin. Since he wears the shirt to work and not to travel in, I send them to our reasonably priced dry cleaners to be dry cleaned and pressed at $2.00 each. I have washed them in the past and although they appear to shrink, they go back to the orginal size after ironing. I prefer to leave the ironing to someone else. These shirts do not look very nice when they come straight out of the dryer. This is definitely a consideration if you are planning on doing your own laundry when traveling. April 15, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Toby Not as advertised The shirt felt wonderful when my husband wore it, and he received many compliments. However, after I washed it in the machine with COLD water, and air dried it on a hanger, it shrank so much that he couldn't wear it again. Also, it was so wrinkley that ironing was an absolute must. Definitely NOT a product for Travel Smith to carry, since it obviously must ONLY be dry-cleaned and pressed. Most unfortunately, I have returned both shirts that I ordered. April 30, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by mooo shrinks loved the look and feel of this shirt out of the packaging, but after washing in cold water and hanger drying, it was about one size smaller. Had to return the shirt. June 18, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5 by Winnie Shrinks a full size We were thrilled with this shirt, the fit was good, BUT as soon as it was washed in cold water - and hung up to dry - it looked good, but it was a full size smaller! I will have to return the shirt May 27, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5 by SMO20 Poor quality The material feels cheap and after one wash shrinks and is not worth wearing again October 4, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by islay nice shirt - too expensive I bought 3 shirts back in May and have enjoyed them very much. They're comfortable, lightweight, cool and keep their shape nicely. I only two complaints. Number one. The price is too high. I think $35 is more reasonable. Number two, the selection of large sizes is way too low. July 14, 2011

New trend: Paying it backward at drive-thru windows
Viewers share their stories with RTV6
INDIANAPOLIS - It's a trend taking off around the country, people "paying it backward" at drive-thru windows. When you pull up to pay for your meal you quickly learn the customer in the car in front of you already took care of it.
"People are wanting to regain some positivity," said Kaitlin Dunlap, with the Chick-fil-A restaurant in southwest Houston. "Doing something nice for the car behind you in the drive-thru lane is an empowering feeling."
But recently the customers at that southwest Houston Chick-fil-A took karma to a whole new level, each person paying for the customer behind them after finding out the customer ahead of them already paid for their order.
Several viewers told us this isn't an isolated incident.
"We have two options of how to handle negative people. We can either stoop to their level, or we can bring them up to ours."
"Someone did this for me last year at a Steak 'n Shake in Lafayette. I started doing it once in a while, too. It does make you feel good -- both to pay for someone else's meal and have someone pay for yours!" Viewer Lori M. said.
Another viewer said so many people took part in "paying it backward" recently at a Fishers Starbucks that she couldn't tell who started it -- or who ended it!
"Every single person in the drive-thru line paid for the person behind them," Viewer Julie C. said. "I'm actually curious to see how long it went on for!"
Others said they were on the receiving end of this good deed and didn't even realize it at the time.
"I was in line at the Franklin, Ind., McDonald's two weeks ago. A young gentleman was in front of me. I wondered why he bought my iced coffee," Viewer Kelly H. said. "I was so dumbfounded and trying so hard to figure out how to thank him that it never crossed my mind to pay the next car's bill. I still wish I could thank him!"
Meanwhile, one viewer told Scripps affiliate RTV6 she used the "pay it backward" method not to randomly please someone, but to see if she couldn't put some spring back into a grumpy man's step.
"I once pulled through into a very packed McDonald's -- the kind that has two lanes," Viewer Kayla S. said. "It was very slow going and the man behind me, for some reason, was getting so frustrated with me. He was yelling and visibly irritated with the situation. I was so tempted to get mad and yell back at him that he needed to just calm down, but instead, I decided to 'kill him with kindness' and pay for his meal.
"When he pulled up to the window and found out I paid for him, he was caught completely off guard and I saw a change in his demeanor as he yelled 'thank you' to me while I was pulling away," Kayla S. said. "We have two options of how to handle negative people. We can either stoop to their level, or we can bring them up to ours."

When Rand Paul expressed interest last year in running for the Republican Senate nomination in Kentucky, he attracted national attention because, well, he is the son of Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. After all, the elder Paul surprised everyone when he proved to be a formidable fundraiser in his 2008 bid for the GOP presidential nomination.
And a reporter for ABC News observed: "Fueled by grassroots momentum and his father's donor base, Paul's candidacy will now put the strength of the Tea Party movement to the test in the general election in November."
In the general election, Paul will face Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway. Conway won the Democratic primary with 44 percent of the vote to 43 percent for Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo, who lost the senatorial general election in 2004 to Sen. Jim Bunning by a small margin.
ABC also quoted McConnell's congratulatory remarks promising to back Paul in November:
"Dr. Paul ran an outstanding campaign which clearly struck a chord with Kentucky voters and I congratulate him on his impressive victory. Now Kentucky Republicans will unite in standing against the overreaching policies of the Obama administration. We are spiraling further into unsustainable debt and Kentucky needs Rand Paul in the U.S. Senate because he will work every day to stop this crippling agenda."
AP reported the day after the election that Paul has pledged to stick to the tea party's limited government stance for the duration of his campaign, stating:
"People are already saying now you need to weave and dodge, now you need to switch. Now you need to give up your conservative message. You need to become a moderate. You need to give up the tea party.... The tea party message is not a radical message. It's not an extreme message. What is extreme is a $2 trillion deficit."
In another statement quoted by CNN, Paul said: "I have a message from the Tea Party. A message that is loud and clear and does not mince words: 'We've come to take our government back.' "
In a telephone interview with AP, former Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said of the Paul victory: "This is a real time of awakening for America. We have an opportunity to not embrace the status quo but to shake things up."
Dr. Paul's victory, along with the defeat of Pennsylvania Republican-turned-Democrat Senator Arlen Specter, and the failure of Sen. Blanche Lincoln (described as a "centrist" Arkansas Democrat) to win a clear majority in her primary, have been viewed by many political pundits as a sign of anti-incumbent sentiment among voters. Considering the state of the economy, with unemployment and foreclosure rates at historically high levels, that assessment is not surprising.
But, unlike the traditional, spontaneous tendency of voters to retire incumbents during poor economic times, the May 18 primary results reveal something more than individual voter discontent. The difference, as frequent references to the Tea Party movement observe, is a new level of heightened citizen activism. As a report from Reuters on May 19 observed:
The anti-establishment, anti-incumbent fevers on display Tuesday are not new. The ideologically charged, grassroots activists flexing their muscle in this week's primary showdowns are the same breed as primary voters who four years ago stripped the Democratic nomination away from Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, who later won as an independent.
What's now clear, in a way that wasn't before, is that these results reflect a genuine national phenomenon, not simply isolated spasms in response to single issues or local circumstances.
The report quoted Richard Viguerie, a veteran direct-mail fundraiser and organizer of conservative activists, who called for McConnell's replacement as the GOP Senate leader:
The elections results are a massive repudiation of McConnell and the Republican congressional leadership, which aggressively supported Grayson. Coming on the heels of Senator Robert Bennett's defeat in Utah and the Republican Senatorial Committee's previous support for Charlie Crist in Florida, it is clear that many Washington, D.C. GOP leaders are enormously out of touch with the base of the Republican Party, grassroots conservatives.
Conservative, libertarian, and constitutionalist grassroots activists, who have coalesced to form not one organization, but a collection of like-minded groups collectively called "The Tea Party," have proved that motivated citizen activists can buck the political establishment and secure political victories for good candidates. But in doing so, they have taken their game plan — and many of their principles — largely from the action plans formulated over the past 51 years by the grandaddy of all antiestablishment, constitutionalist action groups — The John Birch Society.
In so doing, the Tea Party groups may eventually outdistance their level of understanding and require greater education in how to defeat the well-entrenched collectivist establishment they seek to depose. For that reason, those working to educate the voter base and send more Rand Pauls and Ron Pauls to Congress — and support them once elected — must learn all they can learn from the experienced JBS activists, because there simply is not enough time left in the freedom fight to reinvent the wheel.

Same here. I guess he could be updating the site. He does come poke around here sometimes, maybe he will see this and answer.
p.s. gotta love the HTTP Error 403.6 - Forbidden error
The site has been down for about a month, which is really sad. Sean just disappeared a few months ago and let his site go down. Nobody knows why he left, or where he went, or if he plans on coming back. He and I were in the middle of a project when he disappeared, but i didn't really think anything of it at the time.
I see him on Skype and MSN all the time, but he never responds and I would feel like a dick if I spammed him until he replied. So I don't.
Not to bring up old topics, but have you heard anything from Sean? I was wondering if in any way there was any more info on a replacement site or anything...I miss that site.

Spoke to Sean about this awhile back, the hosting was getting to be quite a burden so he took it down. No mention of a replacement or anything like that either.

Making Soy Sauce At Home
Posted 11 June 2007 - 10:36 AM
I have an uncle who has always been a bit of DIY freak. As he and my aunt get older - they are becoming more and more careful of what kind of food they eat. Now that that they don't have growing kids to feed - they try to eat as much organic food as possible and grow alot it themselves.
News reports out of HK last year detailed alot of the lack of quality controls in foods produced in China - so they decided to start making their own soy sauce. I wanted to provide a little update as to how this is done - and I was surprised that it was not as hard as you might think - just a little time and care.
My uncle remembers growing up in post war Hong Kong when food was scarce and making ends meet was not easy. The war had left my grandmother virtually broke (from bribing officials to keep her kids safe), widowed, and still having to find a way to feed 8 kids. One easy source of protein was to make miso at home - fermented soy beans that was cooked with a little pickled plum and rock sugar. My uncle said it seemd like the most delicous food at the time.
Making soy sauce is simply removing the liquid that the soy beans are fermented in. They still end up with miso that they use as a condiment for cooking things like fish and pork - it gives a plumlike sourness . Now in Vancouver - we don't get as much sun as we would like - so the fermeted soy mash does not cook in the sun for as long as it should - so there is more acidity in it then you would find in industrial soy. Still - its pretty good.
Dried organic soy beans are cooked till they are soft and fall apart into a meal when squeezed between your fingers.
The soy beans are mixed with flour - ratio that my uncle uses is 16 oz of soy beans (dry weight) is mixed with 12 oz of flour.
The beans and flour is kneaded together to make a loaf. My uncle says that from what he's seen, alot of industrial producers skip this step.
The loaf is then cut up into disks - and the whole basket is wrapped in layers of towels to promote mold growth.
The mold growth part takes about a week - I will take some pictures then if the mold takes hold like it should.
The saltiness for the soy sauce will come later when the fremented disks are soaked in a brine that contains 8 oz of salt. It's funny - the salt water has been prepared for a few weeks now. Large containers sitting out in the sun (under plexiglass). I actually don't understand why this needs to be done - but my uncle says that my grandmother would always let the sun cook out the water - sometimes for a whole month. Perhaps this was a way to remove impurities - when tap water was not so safe - and nowadays, it may be good to let some of the chemicals used to treat water, evaporate off. Vancouver is notorious for its use of cholrine.
Hopefully the mold will take hold and I will have new pictures soon.
BTW - I have no idea what kind of mold takes hold and how my uncle ensures that it is not some killer strain. So - that's my attempt at a legal disclaimer.

I'm waiting for what happens when you get to the pasteurization stage later on. Yoonhi remembers her family making their own soy sauce when they first emigrated, and the smell from the process would reach four blocks around.
And beware, it's short step from this to wanting to make your own fish sauce!
Posted 11 June 2007 - 11:18 AM
Definitely follow up! This looks terrifically exciting.

Browsing from Wikipedia page on soy sauce, I was led to a Google Answers discussion about how soy sauce is made. They seem to think that you need specific molds and yeasts. I'm sure the first makers of soy sauce didn't have access to isolated start cultures, though, so I'm hopeful for you. Good luck!
Posted 11 June 2007 - 11:34 AM
The trick is what kind of mold or yeast takes hold. That will be in the interesting part. My grandmother never used a starter - just let it sit out and see what takes hold.
Posted 11 June 2007 - 04:01 PM
And beware, it's short step from this to wanting to make your own fish sauce!
And in case you are thinking of making your own fish sauce, consider the experience of Francine Segan, as told in her cookbook, The Philosopher's Kitchen: Recipes from Ancient Greece and Rome for the Modern Cook. While researching her book, Segan experimented with an ancient recipe for fermented fish sauce. This was not much more than a pile of fish heads and carcasses left outside to rot. After a few days, her neighbor politely knocked on her door and asked if her cat had died. End of experiment.

My mother drives an hour and pays about $50 for a gallon (possibly $50 for 2...can't remember) of homemade korean soy sauce. I wonder if I told her about your method that maybe she could make her own and sell it to other korean women?
Then again maybe I'll do that and sell it to every asian person within the area. There's a lot of chinese people in the area...........
Posted 13 June 2007 - 04:12 PM
I went out on a hunt to find ways to actually make soy sauce, but I eventually gave up because I was told it was just too complicated and messy.
I figure this way is pretty simple. Alot of the methods I've heard of require efforts akin to producing some of the world's finest wines. I've heard that there are just some tamaris that can't be shipped because it's so "alive"...the bottle would explode during shipping!
I got even more interested in making my own soy sauce when I heard about the whole "human hair" incident in China. They take human hair, boil it down to make an amino acid slurry, and use it to make a soy sauce that is dirt cheap. Also with the carcinogenic chemicals present in soy sauces that take massive fermentation shortcuts (you can find that on wikipedia)

The mold is an aspergillums variant according to a major producers web sit. It is highly toxic to parrots and some farm animals. The spores can survive extremes of cold and heat. Not something I would be playing with in my home.
Posted 13 June 2007 - 11:12 PM
The Mold has taken Hold!
I am amazed how wild spores have grown on the soybean cake medium. The dark mold seems benign to me - but the green stuff looks a little scary. My uncle said that this is what they looked like when they were being made when he was a kid. "People have been making this for thousands of years - and look it how big and strong I grew up to be".
At this point, they are ready for the next step in production. When sunny - the cakes will be laid out to dry out completely - and then they will be added to the brine to brew in the sun. I mentioned that they looked awfully pale to make a dark soy sauce - but he said that the brew will darken as it sits in the sun. "Just like how people get tanned." Huh? I don't understand how it can get darker - the brine is very salty - so I assumed that there would be no further fungal growth - but how can it get darker?
Takadi - you bring up a couple of intresting things.. My uncles and aunts also no longer trust the quality of many of the products from China. Weird shortcuts and poor controls have resulted in some nasty suprises.
Also, the article you posted discusses the 'first draw' of soy sauce from a batch of the brine. It is indeed the finest (drawing the comparision of the first pressing of olive oil) and it is much coveted. There is a restaurant in Vancouver which features first draw soy sauce in many of their foods - the best being dungeness crab stirred fried with first draw soy sauce. It is sweeter and more savory at the same time - a kind of heightened unami-ness.
I actually consulted a scientist about the dangers of the molds involved - and generally it is a very safe process and one would have consume ALOT of the dangerous strain to even get close to hurting yourself. So far so good - keep knocking on wood I guess.
Anyway - with the weather we are having (mostly cloudy) - the next steps may not occur for a little while. I will keep you guys posted.

I don't have adequate knowledge, but to attempt to explain how soy sauce darkens, I would have to say because of some fermentation processes. Perhaps it gets darker in the same sense that our skin gets darker in that the cultures produce pigments as a response to the oxidation from the sun, in the same manner that apples darken when exposed to the air. But don't take my word for it...
Also, does your uncle have any information about tamari or soy sauce without wheat in it? I heard it's a byproduct of miso production, but is the process any different? Or do you just omit the flour?

Here are the soybean cakes being soaked in the brine - these pictures were taken a few days after the soaking process. They have been sunning in the brine for a few weeks now and will continue to be set outside as long as the weather stays sunny.
The cakes have since broken down into a mash and the soy is indeed much darker. I will post additional pictures shortly. Had a quick taste - and it was fantastic - very complex and fully of all sorts of unami-ness.
Posted 12 August 2007 - 10:58 PM
Oh and just to sate your curiosity about the color of soy sauces, that comes from a combination of things. Browning reactions are going on as the soy sauce ages, this is the work of both the high energy sunlight, time, and possibly some of the enzymes from the molds or other microorganisms. These are the same kind of reactions that turn bread into toast, or turn cut fruit brown; they just take a lot longer at lower temperatures.
Posted 31 August 2007 - 05:16 PM
My uncle has removed the first draw - and the miso is being used for a second batch. He thinks that he will simply let the miso evaporate out and use the paste as a marinade for fish and seafood. The miso has a plum-like tartness that is particularly good with oily fish.
The soy has an very interesting flavor - it is unlike any store bought soy. Less salty - more complexly savory - undercurrents of fermented flavors (like fish sauce). It's been boiled to sterlize it (which has killed off some of the more delicate nuances - but better than killing off me) - will keep in the fridge for a while. You can see that it is lighter and cloudier than commercial soy. It has not been filtered - and no coloring has been added.
Watching the process has been interesting - it is relatively easy, but time consuming. It would be interesting to see what would happen in a sunnier climate (say like - Sacremento) - if the soy would darken further.

Sorry not to get back to you sooner - not sure about wheatless soy. I suspect that flour used as a medium to help mold take hold - and I am not sure what would happen if you ommitted. Perhaps I should suggest keeping one of the disks as a starter in a jar - then sprinkle it over a batch that had no flour to help the fermentation process.
That's the part of the process that amazed me - simply leaving out the soy disks to mold - all wild and by chance. Nature is wonderful.

But I wonder what would happen if save some of the miso from the first time you make soysauce and mix it in w/ the soy cakes from the next batch. Wonder if it would give the soysauce a better/stronger (?) flavor? And if it would accelerate the process.
It would be equivalent of using a pate fermente when baking bread.

Just a musing....

The miso itself is very salty - so I think it would inhibit further mold growth - but I think using one of the moldy disks would work.

My grandmother of 92 years still makes her own homemade soy sauce, and it's as a deep, rich ebony-black. I've only seen the finished product though. She ages soy sauce for many years...decades even...we have a small quantity of soy sauce approx. 35 years old. The most amazing soy sauce I've ever tasted.
M&M, please find out from your grandmother how she makes it and post it here. Thanks.
Posted 08 September 2007 - 11:26 PM
I'm a pretty sure there are many many different processes of fermentation, all with different results. I wonder if real organic soy sauces end up like yours...

I'm glad this thread bumped up today. I missed it the first time around. Very cool canucklehead!
I have read that Koji is the mold culture that the Japanese use to make sake, miso, and shoyu (soy sauce). I know you can buy a culture of Koji (which I think is Aspergillus oryzae or A. sojae) in tubs (and for Vancouverites - Fujiya has Koji in the freezer section - I don't remember if it was the rice or soy version).
Using wild spores and mold is sort of like making Belgian lambic beer....which tastes more complex than regular beer.
Again thanks for this canucklehead.

ps. remember with great nostalgia walking along the path by the sea at Yung Shue Wan village on Lamma island (HK) where the villagers were making fish sauce and paste out in the sun...alas no more...
Posted 29 March 2008 - 09:10 PM
I've researched a little more and sources tell me that I have to use koji, a special strain of yeast or bacteria, to create the proper soy sauce. Is this necessary, or do the cultures naturally appear just like they do in starters for bread?
Edited by takadi, 29 March 2008 - 09:12 PM.

When is the best time of year to make it, or can it be made anytime?
I noiced the original post was in June, so I guess some sun is needed.
You don't say how much water is in the brine,
Making soy sauce definitely needs sun - the soybean brine needs to cook out in under hot sunny weather. In Vancouver, that means the window to make soy is pretty short.
Let me check the concentration of the brine for you.
fmed - thanks for the heads up on the spores at Fujiya - your food knowledge is genuinely impressive. So far - my uncle has just let wild molds take hold - so it would be intresting to see what a proper culture would produce. Not sure how to incorporate it into the soybean disks. Perhaps at the same time flour is kneaded into the soy. I suspect using a true culture would allow you to not have to use wheat flour - thus resulting in a truly wheat free product.
And I'll second the hope that there are other home soy brewer's out there who will share some more pictures.

I'm thinking that simulating a sunny climate using fluorescent lights and an aquarium heater will help. Not very eco-friendly, though
Would you need a sun lamp (for UV rays?) - That's a lot of engineering for home made soy sauce.
Posted 02 April 2008 - 03:19 PM
Posted 02 April 2008 - 03:30 PM
I really want to try to make this during the summer. What type of climate/weather is ideal? Also, how much salt was in your brine?
You need warm sunny weather to cook out the soybean miso.
Start out with 4lbs of water with 4 oz of salt to the above the proportions. But this is up to your taste - obviously, it should be quite salty. The water will evaporate as the soy sits out in the sun (in a container protected by a mesh cover - you don't wan things falling in, I think traditionally, it was bamboo lids that covered the containers) - add cold boiled water to loosen the mixture. Again - this is up to you, how salty and rich do you want the soy sauce?
Sorry to be so vague - one of the pit falls af trying to translate home cooking into a usable recipe.
