Los Angeles band 'Rage Against the Machine' (RATM) has just secured the Christmas number one in the United Kingdom (UK) music charts. Following a viral social networking campaign, more than half a million people downloaded the seventeen year old expletive laden anti-authoritarian track 'Killing in the Name', in an orchestrated attempt to prevent an act from the 'X-Factor' television show becoming number one for the fifth consecutive year.
From a social psychology perspective, it is interesting to note how the two groups of supporters differed in terms of preferred purchase medium, namely download versus compact disc. Consequently, group membership can be seen to be polarised in terms of factors such as technically literacy, age, conservatism, and so on.
This 'battle' culminated in a live performance by RATM on BBC breakfast radio being abruptly faded out when the famously anti-establishment band embarked on the song's climactic barrage of swearing despite, rather ironically given the lyrics, having "been told not to" by the BBC.
Whilst 'sticking it to the man' in this way may be viewed as a triumph for anti-corporate 'people power', it is somewhat debatable who the real winner from from this 'chart war' actually was.
Since X-Factor champion Joe McElderry and RATM are actually both Sony artists, however, the multi-national mega-label will have benefited from the overall increased volume of sales irrespective of who became number one. Furthermore, corporations have previously exploited or created such apparent 'grass-roots' movements by means of 'viral marketing campaigns' and 'street teams'.
As a previous commentator on the strange relationship between the corporate music industry and bands purporting to subvert society once said, "ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" (Lydon, 1978).
Alternatively, perhaps the real winners are, in fact, the homeless, since the charity Shelter that supports them received donations of around £70,000 through the RATM campaign. Interestingly, such pro-social altruism is typically not a characteristic that many would associate with young music fans, who are commonly stereotyped in the tabloid press as selfish and anti-social. Furthermore, RATM have also pledged to donate their royalties to the charity.
On that seasonally appropriate positive note, I wish you all "Merry Christmas!" *<|:{)}

Customer Reviews For Bravus II 10D Powered Subwoofer
- Part of an A+ Home theater system Mark
- I received this in Oct '13. This is part of a 7.1 home theater system. I am using VGB for the fonts a VGC and then L6-ICs and L6-IWs for surrounds. Once I had the system adjusted and broken in this melded perfectly with the rest of the system. For music it gives the fullness and roundness to the sound. For movies and TV it delivers the LFE with just the right amount of punch. The 10" is just enough for my 12'x25' room, I have been debating as to whether or not I should get a 12" Bravus to have some headroom.
The reason I gave this 4 stars for overall rating is for the fact that it does not have a trigger input. My system (surround processor and separate amp) uses 12v triggers and although this really doesn't need them it would have been nice to have that option. (5/24/14)
- Very Good Subwoofer for 17 x 20 basement home theater Gary R.
- I have a 5.1 basement/family room home theater using 3 6-LCR speakers up front, 2 L6-IW speakers in the rear, and a Bravus 10D subwoofer - all powered by an Onkyo 707 receiver. Movies are projected by an Epson 8350 onto a 110" Elite screen. The Aperion speakers and subwoofer work together to make an excellent cinema sound system. Installation was very easy and the look of Aperion's in-wall speakers is clean. Sound quality is very good at all volume levels with no discernible distortion. Dialog is crisp. Special effects are nicely enhanced with the Bravus IIa 10D subwoofer. I would highly recommend this set-up. I was curious whether the 10D sub would do the job for my carpeted room. Although the home-theater space is 18 (front to back) by 20 (side-to-side), it has no left wall (as I face the screen), rather it is open to a bar and pool table area. I placed the sub in the front-right corner so that it would have two walls from which to reflect. It sounds great. In fact, I don't even need to crank it up all the way in order to fill the room with earth-shaking vibrations during selected movie scenes.
I've evaluated 8, 10, 12, 15 and dual subs from several vendors in my space, and have determined that the Bravus IIa 10D's are the right fit for the right type of sound. Anything larger is just too much - unless you happen to like that overly exaggerated type of sound. Aperion's 30-day return privilege, 10-year warranty, lifetime support, and on-line audio reviews convinced me to give this company's products a try. I'm glad I did. Aperion provides tremendous value for a quality product.

Pro Reviews For Bravus II 10D Powered Subwoofer
- Awesome Bravus II 10D
- I have been an Aperion customer since 2009, I have an Intimus 5B and a Verus Forte Tower SD. I had only one subwoofer, Bravus 8D, that was part of the original Intimus speakers. I did not get a subwoofer with the Verus because I moved the Intimus to a room where the 5B\'s were enough. Unfortunately, something went wrong with the sub after 6 years, and a lot of use and abuse. I talked to the guys at the shop, and rather than fixing the old sub -it was not clear where the damage was, I decided to upgrade to the Bravus II 10D along with a new Yamaha Aventage RX-A 3040. After not having a sub for a month, when I received and installed the new sub, and new receiver, I was blown away! WOW! huge difference. The movies are actually scary-intense because the sound is so powerful, and I am more of a music guy than a movie guy anyway! I am so glad that I did not get the 12, it would have been really scary then! I am still in the breaking phase, nevertheless, the 10D performs extremely well. The Aperion speakers are top of the line, and throughout the years have proved themselves worthy of every cent I have spent on them. I have friends that own speakers more expensive, nevertheless, it seems that the music listening sessions always end up being hosted at my house! I wonder why... uhm... thank you Aperion for your lasting quality, service, and honesty.
- Home Theater Review of the Bravus IIa 10D
- "For $799 direct, the Bravus II 10D from Aperion Audio is one of my favorite subwoofers under a grand that is currently available today. When you throw in the fact that the Bravus II 10D, like all Aperion Audio products, comes standard with free shipping and a 30-day, in-home trial backed by a money back guarantee - you quickly see why I have no qualms about recommending the Bravus II 10D to any two channel or home theater enthusiast."

- SoundStageXperience.com Reviews Aperion Intimus 5T Tower Speakers
- "Aperion is just as interested in providing quality service as it is in making money."
"My friends, none of whom are audiophiles, were floored by how good each album sounded. What was most surprising for me was just how well the 5Ts and the 10D handled higher volumes. Even at a volume that likely rivaled that of my drums, I couldn't discern any deterioration of sound quality. My experience with high-quality audio gear is rather limited and my ears are untrained, so I don't have the lexicon to give a totally adequate description of just how the system sounds, but I guess if I had to use one word it would be solid."
"There's definitely something very special and satisfying about hearing an album you've listened to hundreds or even thousands of times as though it were the first time you'd ever put it on."

Single Active & Dual 10" Passive High-Excursion Custom Aluminum Drivers
We designed Bravus with dual custom aluminum drivers for efficient high-performance. One part rigid precision, one part low bass extension - shake well with a healthy helping of linearity, and you're left with three drivers to take your music and movies to new depths. Aluminum offers the perfect blend of strength and mass to keep the class D digital amp operating efficiently. Couple this with a heavy duty rubber surround and a precision motor structure and you get bass that is deep and linear. To make things even better, we packed three drivers in a small gorgeous enclosure so your Bravus 10" sub offers the performance of a larger sub but takes up less space.
500 Watt Digital Power Amplifier
All of the Bravus II subwoofers use an efficient high power class D amplifier with a high current switching power supply. This allows maximum performance output and deep bass authority while maintaining the musical accuracy and detail you expect from Aperion Audio.
Detachable Power Cord w/ Switchable Voltage
We make it easy to upgrade your cord or take your subwoofer on the road. No matter if you're in Los Angeles or Lisbon, you can easily switch between 110V and 220V power. Just plug in the correct cord, switch the voltage and enjoy. One caveat, though -- We're not responsible for international noise ordinances, so tread carefully and bring bribe money.
Line Level Inputs
Every Aperion subwoofer comes standard with an LFE line level input that connects to any receiver's subwoofer pre-out. Or, if you don't have a sub-out connection, use the left and right low level inputs with the low level outputs from your pre-amp or receiver.
High Level Inputs
Hook your new subwoofer up to any receiver or amplifier! If you don't have a sub-out connection on your receiver, you can use the left and right speaker outputs to make setup a snap.
Small Internally Braced 1" HDF Sealed Enclosure
Powerful bass needs a sturdy cabinet. Every Bravus II 10D subwoofer is built out of strong 1" HDF and internally braced to reduce cabinet vibration to nearly nothing.
Timeless Design & Furniture-Grade Finish
Each of our Bravus subwoofers features a timeless design aesthetic and is beautifully finished in high gloss piano black, allowing them to effortlessly blend into your decor. This first-rate cabinetry unites the acoustic qualities of only the most expensive subwoofers with a furniture-grade finish so handsome your coffee table will be jealous.
Leveling Floor Spikes and Footers
Included with each Bravus subwoofer is a set of metal floor spikes with footers and a set of rubber feet. Use the metal spikes on carpet for tighter bass by decoupling the sub from the floor. If you have hard floors, use the footers with your metal spikes or use the included rubber feet to improve bass response and protect your surfaces from scratches or dents.
Acoustically Transparent Grille
Nothing stands between you and your sound. We designed a sonically invisible grille that not only looks great, but also protects your precious woofers from curious fingers, claws or snouts.

The classic Hofner bass updated with a few modern refinements.
With original Hofners scarce and expensive, popular demand compelled the popular violin bass maker to recreate...
An affordable version of the famous Hofner violin bass.
A classic Hofner hollowbody with legendary tone.
With a distinct shape and deep-resonating sound, there's nothing quite like a Hofner bass. Founded in 1887, Hofner has worked to become an international leader in the development of stringed instruments, most notably their bass guitars. Instantly recognizable and enjoyed the world-over, every bass that Hofner creates has to live up to their demanding standards for quality, playability and sound. As most know, the violin-shaped bass was made popular by Paul McCartney, with music-lovers everywhere giving it the nickname the "Beatle bass". This iconic instrument is one of the most beloved of all time, but what you may not know is that Hofner offers several other bass lines as well. From club shapes to a newer updated version of their 500/1, all the basses featured here were made to impress.
Always pushing the envelope on their violin bass, Hofner has recently put out their "Contemporary Series", which was crafted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the introduction of their famous design. Keeping the vintage appearance, but with a more modern internal sustain block, this signature bass sounds as dazzling as it looks. Warm, but with some added kick, it will redefine the way you play.
If you're looking for a more traditional bass shape though, Hofner's club series can accommodate. Options like the Ignition Club Bass and the 500/2 Club Bass Guitar will bring your music to life with their sweet woody sound and unique "staple" pickup. Finished with a single cutaway body, these basses pay tribute to the 60s and 70s classics.
There are even basses available for the traveling musician, like the Shorty Electric Bass. Offering the same neck length and warm tone as their standard basses, but with a smaller body, this instrument was developed so you could take it anywhere. No matter the size of the performance, this small instrument can keep up.
Hofner is a name synonymous with the bass guitar. Cleanly designed with an unmistakeable silhouette, these instruments have stood the test of time, and have only gotten better as the decades have passed.

POTSDAM - Village officials plan to develop recently purchased land into a subdivision as part of a new effort to encourage moving to Potsdam.
Potsdam purchased a water tower off of Route 56 last fall for $697,000. The three-year-old, 300,000 gallon tower, originally part of the Lowes Home Improvement Store development, will give Potsdam better water pressure and fire protection, Administrator David H. Fenton previously said.
Over 20 acres of land came with the tower, Mr. Fenton said. The villages Board of Trustees will vote Monday on spending $4,500 to complete planning and engineering surveys for the land.
Officials want to subdivide the land to accommodate up to two dozen new single family homes, Mr. Fenton said. .
The ultimate goal is to get that to taxable property, Mr. Fenton said. We certainly dont need all this land by the water tower.
If approved Monday night, officials would like to have the engineering work completed by the end of the summer and begin building infrastructure this fall. New home construction could start next year, Mr. Fenton said.
The new development will be a build it and they will come effort, according to Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis.
It is a beautiful piece of property, and I think it may provide that kind of lots that some people want if they are considering a custom built home, Mr. Yurgartis said in an email.
The development will hopefully restart home building in Potsdam, Mr. Yurgartis said.
There has been little housing development in the village over the past decade. The village board wants that to change, Mr. Yurgartis said in an email. We understand living in the village is not for everyone, but it also has many things going for it, and we want folks to know what we have to offer.
More people living in the village means a livelier place, even nicer neighborhoods, more business, and a bigger tax base, he added.
The village also plans to debut a series of housing incentives, Mr. Yurgartis said. The incentives will aim to encourage moving to Potsdam by offering tax abatements, grants, loans, employer assisted housing, financing help and coordination with real estate brokers. The village will also debut a one-stop web page listing the available incentives over the next few months.
We still have a lot of organizing to do, Mr. Yurgartis said. Some of the incentives are still in the wish list stage.

News: Marian Gaborik Will Have Shoulder Surgery
Gaborik most likely was injured on a big hit by Filip Kuba in Game 4 at Ottawa. It was not during the regular season.
— Rangers Report (@rangersreport) June 1, 2012
12:01PM: The Rangers have released this statement
New York, June 1, 2012 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that Marian Gaborik will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Andrew Feldman and Dr. Anthony Maddalo on Wednesday, June 6, at the NYU Langone Medical Center's Hospital for Joint Diseases in Manhattan.
Gaborik was one of seven Rangers to appear in all 82 games this season. He ranked third in the NHL with a team-high, 41 goals, and also led the team in scoring with 76 points. Gaborik tied the franchise record and his career-high with three overtime goals. He is tied for sixth in the league in goals scored over the last three seasons, tallying 107 goals since joining the team on July 1, 2009, and became the third player in franchise history to register multiple 40-goal seasons with the team.
10:22AM:According to a Slovak newspaper, via NHL Gossip on twitter, Marian Gaborik revealed he has a torn rotator cuff and will be out for 5 to 6 months.
Gaborik revealed this news at a press conference in Slovakia today.
He said he played the last two months of the season with a torn shoulder capsule and rotator and he took pain medication and injections to dampen the pain, but he was lacking strength.
Gaborik said that he may not be able to start the season and it will depend on whether there is a lockout.
Gaborik had five goals in 20 games over the last two months. He noted earlier in the week at the Rangers breakup day he had an injury, but was not ready to reveal the extent of it.
Gaborik's back home&was interviewed:"I'll rest about 6 months.I hope I'll be back on the ice in November" he said #NYR twitter.com/theSimona/stat…
— Simona B (@theSimona) June 1, 2012
Gaborik's friend and countryman Marian Hossa tore a rotator cuff in July 2009 and was out of action until December.
Larry Brooks tweets that Gaborik will return to NY next week and undergo the surgery. An MRI he had on Tuesday revealed the extent of the injury.

Comments about Patagonia P-6 Logo T-Shirt (Men's):
Great shirt. One of the softest and most comfortable I own. Not to mention you can't help but love that bright Patagonia logo.
As a girl about 140 lb and 5'6" I ordered a men's small and it fits perfect. So this shirt can easily be unisex if you are like me and don't like a lot of the form fitting Patagonia tees for the ladies.

Comments about Patagonia P-6 Logo T-Shirt (Men's):
I bought the T-shirt for everyday/casual wear, but only after wearing it twice it completely lost it's shape. It's a very soft shirt and comfortable. I still wear it, but it shrunk up length wise, but stayed bigger than I hoped for. Good shirt, just will buy a smaller size than normal next time!

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The governor's supplemental and biennial budgets were laid out for lawmakers in a late afternoon session in Augusta.
They include no state tax increases, but cuts to programs in the Department of Health and Human Services, 200 state job cuts, and increased reliance on local cities and towns to pick up some costs.
There are two headlines on these budgets. One: the governor has found a way to make tough spending cuts, given that there is less federal funding these days, without raising taxes. The other-- the budget can be seen as a big tax shift to local cities and towns.
There is a lot to this budget -- but two areas that are getting scrutiny tonight: a temporary suspension of revenue sharing to local towns -- about 99 million dollars a year that towns aren't getting in this budget.
The other: a proposal that school districts split the cost of teacher retirement payments with the state. These, along with cuts to programs within the department of health and human services cause democratic senate president Justin Alfond to question a tax shift.
"The tremendous cost shift that we are pouring on to our local communities in this budget. And I think as we're just absorbing it's a shift of 400 million dollars to our local communities."
Sawin Millett the governor's finance commissioner said "so we're talking 400 million dollars and we're passing on to our local communities which is obviously hopefully a concern to all of us around the table."
This all goes to the appropriations committee now. Leaders in both parties say they are confident they'll get to a bipartisan agreement. Democratic leaders, though, don't seem to think many of the governor's proposals are going to fly.

Installing stator question
Installing stator in my 1991 FLT. I used blue locktite on four torx head bolts that fasten stator to case. There are two small phillips head screws that secure nylon bracket which fastens stator plug to case. Do you use blue locktite on these two small phillips head screws? The manual does not say , I also have concern it I locktite them in I will not be able to remove them in future due to small size of screws, however I do not want them to back out when engine is running. I have gotten several conflicting opinions on this and would appreciate any advise before I screw it up. Thanks!!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Oil futures fell below $86 a barrel Friday, and posted a loss of more than 3% for the week, as traders mulled the latest data on U.S. nonfarm payrolls and consumer sentiment for hints on prospects for oil demand.
Oil for January delivery US:CLF3 fell 33 cents, or 0.4% to settle at $85.93 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, trading between $85.77 and $86.92. It was its first settlement below $86 since Nov. 15. Prices tallied a loss of 3.4% for the week.
Morsi invites opposition to talks

Friday's move followed a $1.62 decline on Thursday, as worries over the outlook for energy demand sent prices below $87 a barrel.
The U.S. added 146,000 jobs last month, Labor Department said Friday. Economists polled by MarketWatch were looking for a gain of 80,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate also fell to 7.7% from 7.9%, the lowest level since December 2008, but that was because more people dropped out of the labor force and stopped looking for work. See: U.S. creates 146,000 jobs in November.
"Buyers initially came out early this morning and bought based on the bullish weekly unemployment report but after a closer look, decided to back out," said Bob van der Valk, an independent petroleum industry analyst based in Terry, Mont.
Oil prices traded lower after a disappointing report on consumer confidence.
The preliminary University of Michigan-Thomson Reuters consumer sentiment index fell to 74.5 in December from 82.7 in November.
That's far below the 82.0 expected in a MarketWatch-compiled economist poll. See: Consumer sentiment nose-dives in December.
And economic data also out in Europe gave investors several reasons to be worried about growth in the region.
German industrial production fell more than expected in October, exacerbating concerns about future growth in the region's powerhouse following growth-forecast downgrades by the Bundesbank Friday morning. See: Some bad news about that German engine of growth
"Demand concerns are back on the agenda and are set to dominate trading for the time being as crude continues to take its cue from macro headlines," said Andrey Kryuchenkov, commodity analyst at VTB Capital, in a note.
"At the same time, supplies are very comfortable indeed and fundamentally little changed over the past month," he said.
Meanwhile, concerns of early elections in Italy helped drive down the euro, pushing up the dollar and adding pressure to dollar-denominated oil. The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.05% rose to 80.402 from 80.250 in late North America trade on Thursday. See: Political risk rises as Italy's Monti feels the heat.

Chuck Liddell is giving Lyoto Machida and Glover Teixeira takedown defense pointers at Blackhouse. It's true, there's even a picture
Even though he hasn't fought in two and a half years, Chuck Liddell still stands tall (obviously) in the pantheon of takedown defense leaders in UFC history. Currently, he's tied with Yushin Okami as the seventh best takedown defender ever at approximately 83.6%. That's baller, and this video is a perfect display of the levels of rawesome The Iceman would reach inside the Octagon on a regular basis. With Chuck's longtime training partner Glover Teixeira taking on Chuck's old foe Rampage Jackson, and Lyoto Machida facing the possible implementation of Dan Henderson's Greco-Roman wrestling, the duo have turned to Chuck for his knowledge on how to avoid the 'TD.' Look at that, an opening paragraph full of interdasting (that's spelled correctly, Ted) info that has everything to do with the subject of the headline. What is the world coming to?
Somewhere off-camera, there are chilled glasses of human urine patiently waiting to be chugged by Lyoto Machida and possibly the rest of the guys getting tutored by Chuck Liddell at Blackhouse after the lesson, and that is good.

When I was breastfeeding Princess P, one of my biggest fears was nursing her in public. I don't know why. Breastfeeding is a natural thing that women should be really proud of. But, for me, I think it had a lot to do with what people think and how some really frown upon nursing in public. However, when I discovered nursing covers, things got a little bit better. I could nurse Princess P without being fully exposed and sometimes, people had no clue what I was doing. Well, that was until they saw my fully exposed side because my shirt was lifted up. That is the reason that I love Expressiva Nursingwear and their line of discreet nursing clothing so much.
Expressiva Nursingwear offers a simple and discreet way to nurse your baby in public thanks to a hidden nursing opening incorporated into their clothing. Thanks to Expressiva, you no longer need to fully lift up your shirt or dress to feed your baby. With Expressiva Nursingwear you can discreetly feed baby wherever he or she gets hungry!
Recently, Expressiva Nursingwear sent me the Shirred Scoop Neck Top in purple to review. This stylish top is made from a stretchy cotton and spandex mix and features fun shirring at the neckline and a breezy fit that is perfect for warm spring days.

From the Rodale Institute and Small Farm Central subscribers, John and Aimee Good of Quiet Creek Farm in Fogelsville, PA, an article on crop plans for the CSA that may help in your planning towards 2013!
"The master crop plan lists every crop we will grow including the variety, seeding and transplanting dates, and space requirements. Space requirements are listed as bed feet, rows per bed, and total row feet needed to grow each crop. Most of these crops also include multiple planting successions with the same data and we note whether a crop is to be direct seeded or started in the greenhouse. If a crop will be started in the greenhouse, we include the in-row spacing between plants in the field, which allows us to determine how many plants and seeds we will need."

I have spent the past couple months thinking more deeply about what makes a successful CSA, what retains members from year-to-year, and how to drive member satisfaction in a CSA. I have been reading academic papers on CSAs, attended the Midwest CSA Conference last week, and I have been talking to a lot of CSA farmers. I have also been examining how I participate in CSAs and I often bring CSA up in social conversation and I am fascinated by what people say about their experience or perception of what a CSA does.
At the member level, it is clear to me that success in a CSA program is determined by skill in utilizing the weekly box. We want CSA members who are confident in the kitchen; we want CSA members who are canning and lacto-fermenting; we want CSA members excited to cook for family and friends and tell the story of where their food comes from. However on a macro scale, what we have is a nation that has forgotten how to cook. So when an eater comes to a CSA for the first time, it is difficult to make the adjustments that a CSA asks of it's members. These do not need to be exotic skills, but there is a trick to turning a box of fresh food into meals.
You know that already: that's why your weekly newsletter already provides recipes and notes about how to use the box you provide. I keep coming back to this idea that the classic recipe does a disservice to the CSA member because it is a set of discrete steps that need to be followed with these specific ingredients. The subtext of almost any recipe is: if you don't do it in this exact way with these exact ingredients, you will fail. I think that approach sells cookbooks, but it doesn't fit with the seasonal CSA eating model.
I want CSA members who see a recipe for broccoli slaw and immediately realize that they can substitute cauliflower from their CSA box into the existing recipe. Or realize that it's probably okay to use green onions in a recipe that calls for a white storage onion. What has helped me other the years is learning certain base recipes that can be extended with whatever is in the box or in the garden. For example, this summer I started making broccoli fritters which are absolutely delicious. They are equally delicious as zucchini-turnip fritters or mushroom fitters.
I want to teach CSA members techniques for their boxes and get away from classic recipes. I want to teach "substitution style cooking" that teaches kitchen proficiency and economy: use what's in the box to confidently create simple, delicious meals.
I think this is a paradigm shift from how we normally about educate members about how to cook the box and it is not as easy as copying-and-pasting recipes from AllRecipes.com. This kind of education initiative is a long way from the details of growing great food, but I am convinced that it is important to the success of the overall CSA movement. I am very interested to hear if anyone has tried this approach to CSA member education and succeeded and failed? Email me: simon (at) smallfarmentral.com.

This farm has been in business for 61 years and serves 3,500 CSA members (along with an extensive wholesale produce business) in the Denver region and was Colorado's first organically certified farm. At 3,500 members, it is one of the larger CSAs in the country so in that light, I thought this news may interest readers of this blog.
The farm cited crop damage and financial hardships as the reason for the bankruptcy. Of course a farm that employs 300+ employees at the height of the summer season is quite different than a CSA that serves a couple hundred families. It is not clear from the article what percentage of sales of the farm relate to CSA customers vs. the wholesale business. The article suggests that Andy Grant, owner of Grant Family Farms, feels that the CSA is one of the strongest parts of his farm operation and it sounds like they plan to continue running that part of the farm after they emerge from bankruptcy.
It will be interesting to watch how Grant Family Farms re-prioritizes their business and how they can lean on their 3,500+ member base to plan a more secure financial future.
Read the full article.
I was discussing legal documents for CSAs with Rachel Armstrong at Farm Commons. This is the organization that posted the sample member agreements for CSAs and ran the webinars which I have posted about on this blog over the past couple of months. Farm Commons is a non-profit helping direct marketing small-scale growers with legal questions and has put together some really nice sample documents that CSA farmers can use.
She wanted to make sure that I distributed the most relevant link for the sample legal documents which is farmcommons.org/csa-operations. The link I posted before was more Illinois specific and she wanted to make sure that our farmers were not confused, so thank you for the updated information, Rachel!
Just to give you a bit of teaser: Rachel and I were discussing the up-coming online CSA conference that Small Farm Central is organizing in conjunction with PASA. More on that later, but mark your calendar for March 15th, 2013.

I am currently obsessed with sage. It's soft, fragrant, has an ancient culinary and medicinal history..but mostly it just makes me happy because it still looks great in my garden while everything else has fallen away. I think that winter is the perfect time to cook with sage, since it goes well with hearty winter foods like squash, pasta, stuffing, and meat.
This recipe features sage in the cream sauce, but also includes some of my other favorite things: farm fresh pork and cooking in my cast iron skillet. Unfortunately I haven't reached a point in my cooking experience where I can put my own name to a recipe, so I have to give credit to Alexis Touchet at Gourmet.com for coming up with the original idea.
Sauteed Pork Chop with Sage Cream Sauce
2 (1-inch-thick) rib pork chops
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley
I don't cook meat very often and their aren't many ingredients in this recipe, so when I make this I don't substitute anything. I say: go with heavy cream & fresh herbs or go home. Also, I've found that the recipe works just as well with 2 chops as with one. As long as they are not too big, there is plenty of sauce to share.
Pat your pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in an 8- to 10-inch cast iron skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chops, turning over once, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer with tongs to a plate.
Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from skillet and reduce heat to moderate, then cook shallot, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add vinegar and boil until liquid is evaporated, about 3 seconds.
Return chops to skillet along with any juices accumulated on plate, then add water, cream, and sage and simmer, covered, without turning, 5 to 6 minutes. (If you have a meat thermometer, it should register at 150°F when inserted horizontally into center of chop)
Transfer chops to a clean plate, then simmer sauce, uncovered, stirring, until liquid is reduced to about 4 tablespoons, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over chop.
To complete the meal, I use the leftover heavy cream when making horseradish mashed potatoes. I also like to include a green vegetable; usually roasted Brussels sprouts, steamed broccoli, or sauteed spinach. It doesn't take long to cook the pork, so get these side dished going first. Enjoy!
To save up some stores of energy as we go into our busy season, the Small Farm Central team will be taking a light week between Christmas and New Years. This means that we will continue our 24/7 monitoring of the servers and the health of the service including major bug fixes, but we will not be scheduling sales phone calls and support will be limited to email. Please bear with us as we we'll have reduced staff watching the support email inbox. You may find your answer in the comprehensive knowledge base.
If you are interested in Member Assembler, sign up for one of our weekly online demonstrations that we run each Wednesday (starting again on Jan 2nd).
It has been a really great year here at Small Farm Central and we have some really big initiatives to announce to you in early 2013, so stay up to do date by subscribing to the blog if you don't do that already.
I feel honored to work for so many talented and good-hearted farmers. I hope that you get some time to spend with family and friends as well as some time to relax and recharge the batteries. We'll try to do the same here.
-Simon & the rest of the Small Farm Central team.
We spent some time working on the Member Assembler public pickup page with 3 goals:
Welcome to the pickup page that we quietly released about two weeks ago! The member can now type in their zip code or address and get a list of the 10 closest locations to them as well as the distance from their address to the location (see red circles in image above).
Also, notice that the full address in never shown to the customer until they have joined this pickup (see blue circles in image above).
Customers may be given an option to select a 'second choice' pickup location when registering with your CSA. You can this feature on or off under Member Assembler / configure / display settings.
I know it's the time of year where people try to impress one another with their culinary expertise for pot-lucks, parties, and food blogs. I'm not above such self-aggrandizing (I roasted and served an acorn squash stew inside a pumpkin last week) but in choosing a staff recipe, I decided upon a different take: the slacker chef approach.
One winter, I found myself hungry and in no mood to go outside the house (or shower, likely). All I could scrounge around was the remains of a large bag of carrots of which I had probably only needed a couple for a previous recipe and an onion. As an Italian, I always have pasta in the house, but I had no sauce or tomatoes. I did have a can of cheap condensed tomato soup, however. So I conceived of the idea of roasting the carrots and onions and then blending them with the soup. How bad could it be? Turned out it was crazy delicious and my friends now request it all the time.
10 Large Carrots
1 Onion, preferably Vidalia
1 10.75 oz. can of Condensed Tomato Soup
olive oil
garlic salt
dried oregano
dried basil.
Chop the carrots and onion, but not too small. No reason to over-extend yourself.
Turn the oven to bake at 350 degrees. Toss the vegetables with enough olive oil to coat and some garlic salt. Arrange the vegetables flattish on a baking pan. Roast in oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15. Put roasted vegetables in a bowl and add the can of soup (the more generic the brand the better) along with the basil and oregano. You may want to add a half a can of water. Make sure not to add too much. Blend the mixture COARSELY, until it is the consistency of mashed potatoes. A hand blender works best. I would use a hand masher before a regular blender. Pureeing will make it too liquidy! Don't do it.
This goes great tossed with pasta drained over frozen peas, or as a dip with pita or fried ravioli, or as a spread for sandwiches, or just right out of the bowl! Served hot or cold, it's orangenious!
As an added bonus, and if you're into the surreal, I cooked this recipe on television once when I worked for the local PBS station and it's pretty mind-blowing, if I do say so myself:

When I got married and became a mom I had no idea just how hectic (and unorganized) my life would become. As soon as I got into a groove and found an organizational system that worked for me, I threw blogger into the mix and it turned my world upside down. At one point, my desk solely existed as a storage shelf and I honestly could not tell you what the surface looked like. But now, thanks to the OrganizHer product line from Mead, I can actually see my desk and admire it in all of its glory.
OrganizHer products help you gain control and make life work. This fashionable and functional line from Mead is very flexible and can be used alone or in a system. Mead understands that most women juggle multiple schedules, long to-do lists and meal planning – not just for one person, but for the entire family. That is why they developed All Me and All You sections in each of their OrganizHer products. They also contain customizable formats and fabulous designs to help keep you on track.
Mead generously sent me several items from the OrganizHer line to help me gain control of my unorganized life in a fun and fashionable way. The first item I found to be very helpful was the Expandable Filer.
The OrganizHer Expandable Filer contains 21 pockets and comes with pre-printed and blank labels to designate folders for specific categories. This filer allows me to organize all of my product reviews and giveaways along with scheduled crafts and activities for Princess P. The Expandable Filer has been one of the main keys in rescuing my desk from all the clutter and junk.
Another product Mead sent to keep my life on track was the OrganizHer Family Organizer. This handy little system contains undated weekly calender pages, menu planning/shopping list worksheets, zipper pouches and a re-positionable bookmark. I love that this portable planner has so many different functions and keeps me on track even when we are away from home. I found that the zipper pouches are perfect for clearly displaying coupons and the tear-out menu planning/shopping lists make my life a whole lot easier!
The last (but certainly not least) product Mead sent me from the OrganizHer line is the Write 'N Wipe Monthly Calender. This undated monthly dry erase grid includes magnets on the back for hanging on the fridge. This allows you to easily see your month ahead at a glance. It also includes grommets for hanging on the wall and a dry erase pen with an attached eraser. The Write 'N Wipe calender has definitely saved me from missing an important appointment or two.

Performance Review: Turner gets the job done with 2 outs
Last night in the first inning with the bases loaded , Justin Turner delivered a two out, two-run single off Andy Pettitte to score the Mets' first two runs of the game.
The hit improved Turner's average with runners in scoring position to .444 (8-for-18). He now has 11 RBI in those spots. With two outs and runners in scoring position, Turner is hitting .500 (6-for-12) with 8 RBI.
"I've been answering those questions about him for two years since he got to the Big Leagues," said Collins, when asked why he thinks Turner has been so successful in big spots. "He gets big hits. All he wants to do is put a decent swing on the ball. He doesn't try to hit it too hard, he doesn't try to pull it. He tries to take what the pitcher does and he'll take singles."
Overall in 36 games, Turner is hitting .267 with no homers, 12 RBI and a .317 on-base percentage.
I agree with Terry. Turner puts himself in a situation to succeed in these spots thanks to a short, quick swing. This approach was on full display before Turner sprained his ankle, and now that he's back, he's picking up right where he left off. With men on base, he looks to just use the middle of the field and get good extension on a ball that's middle-out. It's refreshing to see a player go up and resist the temptation to muscle up in these spots. As a result of this success, it has made Turner an indispensable piece of this bench. I wouldn't be surprised it he got rewarded with another start when C.C. Sabathia climbs the hill Sunday night.

text: Brig. Gen. Jefferson Burton accepts a copy of "City of Diversity" from Price Mayor Joe Piccolo during Wednesday's ribbon cutting ceremony at the newly reconstructed National Guard Armory. The 55-year-old armory has undergone more than $1 million in seismic and structural improvements. In his remarks, the assistant adjutant general of the Utah National Guard said the repair work will enable the Guard to continue here for another 55 years. "We can move armories," the general told the audience, but said the decision to repair the building was based in large part on the good relations between the National Guard and the community. Mayor Piccolo offered thanks to "the brave who make our freedom possible" in his remarks. The Carbon High School Jazz Choir sang the National Anthem and the school's concert band played a patriotic number. The ceremony also included the signing of the Price City Community Covenant by the mayor and city council. The covenant expresses support for the mission of the National Guard. The Price unit is slated to deploy to Afghanistan a year from now.

Trend Report: The Key Dress Style To Jumpstart Your Fall Wardrobe

Get ahead of the trend and check out how fashion-forward celebs like Rihanna and Nicole Ritchie are working this versatile look.
- 2 of 22
Dakota Fanning
The actress struck a blue note at The Last Robin Hood's Toronto Film Festival premiere in a Valentino wool-silk blend Square-Neck Dress ($2500) with a shoulder-grazing neckline and nude patent Valentino Pumps ($895). Fanning's look proves that a mini dress can be elegant and ladylike.
- 3 of 22
After the BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards in New York last month, the pop star hit an after-party at Club 48 in a sold-out body-con dress from her collaboration with River Island. To offset the frock's bold graphics, she kept her accouterments to a minimum: strappy Roberto Cavalli sandals and a crimson lip.
- 4 of 22
Nicole Richie
It's not easy to upstage Kelly Ripa (she's just so peppy!). But Richie pulled it off with style when she visited the set of Live! With Kelly and Michael in an Antonio Berardi floral-print dress and Manolo Blahnik Tayler Patent Pointed d'Orsay Pumps ($695). A slicked-back updo adds extra polish to the ensemble.
- 5 of 22
Joan Smalls
The model showed off her gorgeous gams in a Viktor & Rolf F/W 13 white leather dress at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Strappy knee-high Casadei Blade One Boots ($1900) toughen up the frock, which due to the dropped waist and ruffled hemline would otherwise read more sweetie pie than sexpot.
- 6 of 22
Kerry Washington
The Scandal star got lippy in this playful Stella McCartney shift from the designer's Resort 14 collection at the Teen Choice Awards last month. With its pale pink shade and satin sheen, the dress works overtime as a day-to-night number.

Alexa Chung
Can't find a dress that suits your fancy? Follow Alexa Chung's lead and make your own! The style maven improvised at Chanel's Haute Couture F/W 13 show in Paris this summer when she wore a black lace long-sleeved top underneath a navy Chanel shift. Her trusty Vivienne Westwood three-strap flats also made a cameo.
- 8 of 22
Jourdan Dunn
Who says abbreviated hemlines aren't black-tie appropriate? Jourdan Dunn sent the glam factor into the stratosphere earlier this month at the British GQ's Men of the Year Awards after-party, via this glittery, show-stopping number from Julien Macdonald's F/W 13 collection.

Mamma Mia! Thigh-High Stretch Suede Boots ($2837) pick up where the hemline of this Pucci Graphic Print Long Sleeve Dress ($2,175) leaves off at the Italian design house's F/W 13 show.
- 10 of 22
Proving that "short" and "tight" aren't mutually exclusive, designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli sent this Pleated Trapeze Dress ($3,990) down the F/W 13 runway, which billowed breezily as the model walked.

Aw I'm sure things will get better, I know what you mean though. It's hard leaving all those familiar memories behind. I reallyyy like your glasses. I was thinking of buying the same pair but felt like light reflected off of the lenses too much. Maybe I'll give it a second thought ;)ReplyDelete
love that blouse and those shoes!!ReplyDelete
Ah you look so pretty! I bought a sheer top awhile back because you rock them so well and I wanted to try it out. I tried it with just a bra and whoa, cannot commit. Need a pretty bandeau like yours!

Hoping and praying that life looks up soon. I know change and adjusting is hard...but hey, it'll improve. Thanks for sharing!
I love this outfit! This has to be one of my favs =). It has such an edgy city vibe but still sweet and feminine at the same time. Top buns are seriously the hardest thing for me to figure out. My hair is so layered I can never get my hair to all fit inside the bun, it just ends up looking like a mess but yours looks perfect and smooth. Perfect hair bun and outfit!ReplyDelete
i love the outfit and the background!ReplyDelete

You look so cute!
No matter how tough life is for you, you are an inspiration for many fashion freaks undoubtedly. I loved the peach top and the black bustier jutting out from it. It's looking extremely sexy and appealing. The floral printed shoes are very girlish and are going very well with the entire outfit. Loved the fitting of the jeans. Overall, thumps up to your style and attitude.ReplyDelete

Sleep and Sleep Disorders in Children
Sleep and Sleep Disorders in Children Overview
It is very common for children to have problems sleeping. In fact, researchers estimate that between one-quarter and one-half of all 1-5 year olds develop some form of sleep problem. These problems are most commonly described as dyssomnias, related to "bedtime resistance," "delayed sleep onset," or "night walking." These are basically disorders that can be characterized by a disturbance in the amount, quality, or timing of sleep. These problems are usually transient and resolve; however, it is well established that if symptoms persist, they can develop into a problem which may require an intervention to reverse the trends. It is best to divide sleep disorders into those that are physiologically based, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), narcolepsy, and restless legs syndrome (RLS), and those that are behaviorally based.
