Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
Gardens are wonderful places. We can feed ourselves from them, but they can produce so much more. I have grown cotton in my garden and have learned to spin and weave it. My personal challenge for 2016 is to grow flax to produce linen. I have to plan for that now, however, so that the garden beds are ready for the cotton and flax when it is time.
I manage my cover crops with hand tools, planning ahead so that the cover crop is in a stage for transition when I want the next crop to go in. If I managed the garden with a tiller, I wouldn't have to be so careful about my cover crop choices now, since I could just till them in at the appropriate time.
Flax will be planted in early spring. A preceding cover crop that has winterkilled would be appropriate here, such as radish or oats, but it is too late to be planting that now in October. Mulching the bed with leaves would be good. The bed will be weed-free come spring and will be warmed up if you pull off the leaves two weeks ahead of planting to allow the sun to reach the soil.
There is much to learn when turning flax fiber into linen and I'll be writing about that in the coming year. The days to maturity for flax is 90-100 days from planting, so be prepared for a summer harvest. Then it will need to be rippled (seeds pulled off), retted (soaked in water or laid out in the dew), broken, scutched, hackled, and spun.
For the most part, I'll be making my own tools for those jobs, however I found a hackle in an antique mall recently. A hackle is a board with very sharp spikes sticking up from it and, from what I've read, three sizes are needed; each size having the spikes at different spacings. Hackling prepares the long flax fibers for spinning. I'll let you know how that goes.
Cotton doesn't need so many tools to go from seed to fabric, however, it does need hot weather. Not all climates are suitable, but if you have a long hot growing season, you should give it a try. Plant it after the last spring frost when you put in tomatoes. It will take the whole growing season, with the bolls not opening until near frost in the fall.
A suitable cover crop before cotton would be winter rye mixed with a legume, such as hairy vetch or Austrian winter peas. The crop would be cut and left in place as mulch when the rye is flowering (about the time the farmers are taking their first cutting of hay). Wait two weeks for the roots to settle before putting in the cotton transplants. For a little earlier planting, but still after the last spring frost, cotton can go in after Austrian winter peas, hairy vetch, or crimson clover, without waiting an additional two weeks after the cover crop is cut.
I have spun cotton right off the seed, but sometimes it needs to be carded first, which could be accomplished with dog brushes. Learn more about cotton and flax in your garden at Homeplace Earth.
Learning to grow and process these fibers has meaning beyond the potential to produce your own textiles. I hope it gets you thinking about how the textiles already in the marketplace are produced. Start to pay attention to stories about the working conditions and environmental damage due to textile production — stories such as the garment factory fire in Bangladesh and the advantages of organic cotton over conventional cotton.
Every dollar we spend is a vote for how we want the world to be. Just by how we choose to live can make a difference, whether we are growing our own textiles or purchasing them from responsible sources.

Gardening doesn't have to be constant hard work or cost a fortune. Yes, there are start up costs, and it is work, but with the right low maintenance techniques, you can put some of the more tedious chores — like watering — on autopilot.
Garden smarter, not harder—here's how:
Use Rain Barrels. They're low maintenance and eco-friendly. You can conserve water, while still watering your garden during dry spells. According to a recent Home Depot Garden Club Survey, 20% of millennials gardening on the West Coast already use rain barrels, saving precious dollars on water bills in a drought-stricken region, and putting water aside for periods with no rain. If your goal is to be eco-friendly and save money, consider a rain barrel.
Choose Easy Plants to Grow. Succulents are easy to maintain, as are hostas and marigolds. For decorative flowers, choose types that won't require hours of your time picking, pruning and watering. In drought-affected Western states, 42% of gardeners over the age of 35 are growing succulents, according to The Home Depot Garden Club Survey. That's undoubtedly because they're easy to grow and come in many different varieties, shapes, patterns and colors. There's something for everyone when it comes to succulents!
Plant Perennials. There are perennials for every season and every type of climate: drought-tolerant perennials, non-flowering, perennials for sunny areas, shady areas and even perennials that resist disease. Perennials can live more than two years, and some live much longer. By choosing plants that bloom each year, you'll save money and time. There's another advantage—fewer weeds—because perennials' roots grow deeper than other flowers. Fewer weeds equal less work and a pretty garden…yes, please!
Container Gardening. If you're short on time and space, consider container gardening or window gardens. Plant herbs from your kitchen window or grow tomatoes from your patio. Container gardening lets you avoid the tilling and overgrowth of weeds, too! Plus, you can have as many or as few container plants as your heart desires. You can make your own containers and raised bed planters from old doors or other odds and ends from around the house. And container gardening is also a great way to introduce gardening to children.
Baby those Seeds. If you've got the time to start your plants from seeds, seeds are an affordable option. Best of all, planting seeds indoors during the winter really helps to get a jump on the gardening season. Plus, there's something satisfying about watching a seedling sprout into a full-grown green bean plant.
Recycle your Waste. Kitchen waste, dead plants, lawn scrapes and leaves — they're all good for something. Using your waste for next year's garden helps to make nutrient-rich soil. There are lots of ideas for "lasagna" gardening and composting your waste to help fertilize your soil, right here on Mother Earth News! So the next time you make a salad, save those scraps in a kitchen composter or go big and get an outdoor composter. Your garden will thank you later!

It's not surprising that more and more young people have become enchanted with the idea of growing food. Cultivating a livelihood through aligning oneself to the natural rhythms of this world serves as medicine for a soul who has lost contact with its source. Young people these days grow up in an age of connectivity in contrast with severe disconnection. Our wires and communications stretch the globe while our hands are rarely gestured to enter the forest or to press a seed into the Earth.
The virtues of a simple life, lived out in such a way that both the wildlands and human communities prosper, has a beckoning that nourishes those who seek to do good. This way of life not only preserves the incredible heritage of the people who came before, but also protects small pieces of our vanishing natural world. It is dreamlike and idyllic, and yet rendered almost impossible by the innumerable sacrifices the modern day farmer must make to get by.
With 63 percent of farmland on the cusp of transition to the next generation, it is more important than ever to support and nurture the budding interest young people have in growing food for a living. Soaring land and equipment costs, a difficult and biased marketplace, limited income, and the physical and mental stress of managing a working farm make the end goal of being a farmer seem all but unattainable. Individuals who are interested in this way of life come by it to serve their communities and this Earth, to make an honest living and bring harmony between humans and their landscapes. The financial rewards are so limited and burdens so many that we as a society must choose to support these brave individuals with our local economies and through local and national policy.
In 2007, the United States Government deployed the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program aimed to reduce the financial hardship of individuals paying off student loans with Public-Service-Job income. The program has been made to forgive the remaining student loan debt of doctors, teachers, public-interest attorneys, nurses, nonprofit professionals, and government employees who have paid on their loans for 10 years or more. This program is designed to lighten the load for those who are helping society the most and at the same time encourage more youth to pursue jobs in these fields.
With the number of beginning farmers having decreased 20 percent from 2007 to 2012 and with only 6 percent of farmers today under the age of 35, the National Young Farmer Coalition wants to know why farmers are not included on the list of public service jobs scheduled to receive debt relief.
The National Young Farmer Coalition is an organization that aims to support young and beginning farmers through representation, mobilization, and engagement both in the practical needs of the modern day farmer and through the monitoring of political policies that affect the farmers' everyday lives as well as their ability to make a living.
Through a nationwide network of farmers, consumers, and advocates, the coalition provides resources that give those who work the land the power to stand up for themselves and gives them a voice on Capitol Hill. The Coalition recognizes farming as a public service for three specific reasons: Farmers meet the population's most basic need, the need to eat, they steward almost a billion acres of land in the United States, and they provide jobs for locals in rural areas. After surveying 700 members and supporters, the Coalition found that on average, the student loan debt carried by each person to be $35,000. With 30 percent of these individuals not even able to farm due to their monthly student loan payments.
So how can you give your support to this important cause? The National Young Farmer Coalition has worked tirelessly to prepare a report to include farmers in the list of jobs associated with the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. They have put together an easy to use online messaging system that will deliver a thorough and well written message concerning farmers' inclusion in the Program to your local representatives.
If you are a farmer, you may complete a survey to indicate how much student loans have affected your ability to make a living as a farmer. Along with a collection of other resources concerning the management of student loans and an awesome T-Shirt, the Coalition has given farmers, advocates, and consumers the opportunity to support the future of local food.
If you believe that farmers are providing a public service, make your voice heard. Spend your dollars at the farmers market and tell your representatives that you value what your local farmers do for your family, community, and local economy. Become a Member of the National Young Farmer Coalition and add your name to the list of individuals willing to stand up for the preservation of farmers and farmland alike.

Autumn is finally here and soon it will be bringing much cooler temperatures (much appreciated after a long toasty summer) and plenty of falling leaves. If you happen to have trees such as Chinese Pistache, Liquidambar, Ash, Crape Myrtle and many others that grow well in the High Desert, you'll have the added bonus of spectacular fall colors before the leaves drop to the ground. When the leaves do finally drop, think about recycling them into mulch or compost rather than putting them in the trash.
Leaves can be a great benefit to gardens and landscapes because they hold a number of nutrients that can be released back into the soil for plant use, thus reducing the need for added fertilizers. According to Compost Guide, "the leaves of one large shade tree can be worth as much as $50 of fertilizers and humus. Pound for pound, the leaves of most trees contain twice as many minerals as manure."
Using the leaves as mulch or compost not only adds the additional nutrients to the soil for use by plants, they also help to keep the soil warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, helps the soil to retain moisture so you don't have to water as often, and shades the ground preventing many weeds from growing. If you happen to be using needles from pines (or the leaves from oaks), you can get the added benefit of adding a little acidity to the soil for plantings that struggle with the High Desert's alkaline soil.
There are a number of ways to collect the fallen leaves — leaf vacuums, blowers, mowers, and if you want to be "green," the old-fashioned rake. You can also help out your neighbors and collect their leaves as well. The leaves release their nutrients and break down best if they are ground up or shredded, so running them through a mulching mower or chipper-shredder does the trick.
Once the leaves have been shredded, you can place the leaves directly on the ground around your plantings as a protective mulch. Or better yet, since the leaves are more likely to blow away here in the High Desert, you can place these high-carbon leaves in a compost pile or bin and mix with some green garden or kitchen scraps (vegetables, coffee grounds, tea bags, egg shells, etc.), manure, blood meal, cottonseed meal, grass clippings or nitrogen fertilizer, add some water and stir or turn periodically and have a nice batch of nutrient-rich compost for your spring garden. If the pile is not heating up, you might need a little more nitrogen-containing ingredients. For additional help in getting the pile to heat up, especially in the cooler months, you can cover the pile with clear plastic sheeting.
Now you know you can enjoy the leaves of your trees all year long — from the beautiful new spring growth to the great shade they provide during the summer heat, from the incredible fall colors to the nutrient-rich compost and mulch made from the fallen leaves.
The following profile has been excerpted from Planting A Future: Profiles from Oregon's New Farm Movement. Read Part 1 of the Vibrant Valley Farm profile.
Now two years into their farm, both women admit it's been a challenge, but both also express complete happiness with their decision.
"It's hard, but I love this life," Elaine said. "You eat what you grow. It's very creative. It's outside. I'm my own boss. It's really nice to come up with our own schedule. We have so much fun working together. We take time off to make sure it's still fun, but we just laugh a lot. The best job I've had thus far, for sure."
"It is fun, but it's also important to be able to be okay with the lonely time," explained Kara. "I mean if you come from the city and you've got a lot of energy, you have to be able to step back and realize that the lonely time is a beautiful thing. And our culture has none of that… it's like, next screen, next screen, next screen… it's so intense. This helps you shed a lot of that. And another thing the farm teaches you is letting go. I'm getting into some philosophy over here, but it's true. It teaches you about your life. Your relationship with yourself. Your relationship with everyone else. Your relationship with the land, and that you cannot be attached to anything."
Elaine continues, "We always talk about the mandala of it. You work so hard to create this patchwork quilt of food… this artwork basically. And then it's turned into the ground. It doesn't disappear, of course, but you have to start all over. But each year is a fresh start, and you're ready because by Spring, you miss the smell of the dirt and that righteous tiredness that comes with all the Spring preparation. You're excited to get back at it. And that's why we take winters off, which is super important for us. I think people who do year-round farming are badasses, but for me, I know that would mean burnout if I didn't have winter off."
"Being able to make that choice is nice," adds Kara. "I mean there are people all over the world who do this type of work and don't have a choice about taking time off. But I don't have to worry about making sure my village has broccoli. I just have to make sure a couple people have broccoli. And we're getting our farm systems perfected, so we don't have any problem getting that broccoli or whatever to our customers."
Both Kara and Elaine are clear about their goals, which remain the same from the day they started two years ago. Make the farm work first, then build in the educational component. Making the farm work means they had to begin as a CSA farm because it allowed them to begin farming even though they had extremely limited start-up capital. However, since launching their CSA, which they continue to grow, Vibrant Valley has begun acquiring additional customers from both the restaurant and grocery store ranks. Kara credits these gains to their outgoing personalities.
"We're good at going out and meeting people and pushing our products," explained Kara. "That's our strength. I mean we could sit here and feel sorry for ourselves because we're not selling enough, or we could say I'm tired and I want chocolate but instead I'm going to go hustle shishito peppers because we've got a ton of them. So we're actively out selling our product, and at the same time we're perfecting our systems, determining what works and what doesn't, and figuring out what's sustainable."
Both women agree that when they started, it was farm management they were least confident about. But the business gains they've made with their farm have brought them to a point where they will be comfortable as they begin to expand their vision.
"A big part of our original goal was to teach," said Elaine. "But we didn't want to start that program without a viable business. Bringing ten to twenty young people out here simply would not work if we don't know what we were doing. But now we're at the point where we can begin serious talks about how to add in education, so we're working on incorporating that element of it."
Step one will be figuring out what the community needs and how Vibrant Valley would play into that. And they will need to determine what demographic to work with. Being city kids, they feel especially connected to urban youth, so that's a distinct possibility. But their travels and experiences have made Elaine and Kara aware of food system injustices throughout society, so they anticipate looking at underserved populations everywhere, which could take them in a variety of different directions.
They anticipate that their search for educational partners will begin in Portland, and an area where Kara has extensive experience and relationships with a variety of schools and organizations.
"Once we determine who our allies are and who we can work with, then we figure out how our farm can fit with therapy or job training or whatever we decide to focus on," explained Elaine. "Because based on our experience, we've seen how a farm can be everything. Beyond growing plants, farming teaches marketing, accounting, even floral design or event planning. There's so much that fits in a farm, and as educators, we use this as our stage. But the final program will depend on the age and background of the population we're working with."
Lofty plans. But will they work? The combination of energy, pragmatism, and passion are difficult to bet against.
"It's important to not get caught up in the idealistic young farmer mentality of just needing to do something and not worrying about making money," said Kara. "You can definitely make money, and, in fact, you have to in order to keep it going. It's just a matter of figuring out what that looks like. And part of that is letting go of what doesn't work and embracing what does. And we can't just run ourselves into the ground. That's the martyrdom thing you have to avoid. In order to farm or teach well, you have to stay fresh. That's the only way it will work."
Elaine sums the conversation up with a look into the future. "I think I will always work with food, in one way or another. Food is everywhere. It could be on this land, on this farm. Or it could be elsewhere. I simply can't guarantee where. But for me personally, I want to work with young people and food, no matter what."

At the Seven Springs MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR, I used my table-top model to show people how to string-weave tomatoes. As the photo shows, I had #2 pencils as stakes and pieces of pink tinsel Christmas tree up-cycled as model tomato plants. I'll bring the model to Kansas next. This is a good time of year to plan a new approach.
String-weaving (also known as Florida string weaving and basket-weaving) is an easy way to support lots of tomato plants. If you have long rows, this method is ideal. All you have to store over the winter are the stakes. No bulky cages or heavy cattle panels or bulky rolls of wire mesh. This system also works for growing peppers and peas. We have used it for large determinates (Roma), heirloom tomatoes, and indeterminates.
The ATTRA publication Organic Tomato Production includes a comparison of different tomato training and support systems. You can also see this on the extension page, Training Systems and Pruning in Organic Tomato Production.
String-weaving comes equal-best or second best in almost all categories: earliness, fruit size, yield, quality, protection from sunburn and pest control. It is worst as far as labor cost, although the labor is spread out through the season, so it doesn't seem so bad. Trellising (a high wire between posts, and strings dropped down to wind each plant around) comes out best for earliness, fruit size and pest control (but worst for cracking, and thus not so good for marketable yield). Cages are best for marketable yield (so people who only grow relatively few plants could choose that method). But caged tomatoes do poorly on earliness and fruit size. The cheapest support system is no support at all – letting the plants sprawl on the ground. But the fruit quality and quantity is poor, (pests, rotting, cracking and sunburn reduce potential yields).
Put tomato stakes in soon after planting, while the soil is still soft, and you can see where the drip tape is (and which side the roots are, if you planted in diagonal trenches). We use 6-foot (1.8 m) steel T-posts, with rows up to 150 feet (45.6 m) long without any extra bracing at the ends. Some people put an extra stake at an angle tied to the end stakes as a brace. Set one T-post after every two plants along the row.
Our stringing tool made is a 2-foot (30 cm) length of wood, with a hole drilled through near each end. Twine is threaded through one hole and back out the other. A length of plastic pipe could also be used (pipe doesn't need holes drilled through, as the twine can be threaded down through the pipe). The twine is not tied to the tool, but moves through it freely. The tool serves as an extension of the worker's arm, to get the twine over tall stakes, and you can give it a quarter turn to pull the twine tight. (Pulling twine tight against your hand for several hours can cut through your skin.) For maximum efficiency, keep the tool in your hand all the time.
Our variation on string-weaving looks quite like the drawing from the Extension Service. We have a couple of tweaks that make string-weaving work even better. Our first trick is to park the bale of twine in a bucket at the beginning of the row and leave it there. No need to lug it with you! (We have long rows!)
Putting the bale of twine in a bucket makes it easy to carry and provides a space to store scissors and gloves. Stand between the working end of the twine and the slack being pulled out of the bucket - get yourself inside the loop when you start, to avoid tangles. That is, the spare twine will be running out behind you as you work the first side of the row. You'll use it for the return journey.
1. When the plants are 12 inches (30cm) tall, tie the twine onto an end stake, about 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) above the ground.
The tool functions as an extension of the worker's arm, to get the twine over tall stakes, and also prevents "twine burns" to the hands.
2. Pass the twine in front of two plants and the next stake and wrap the twine around the back of the stake, pull it tight, and twist the tool to help tighten it.
3. Next, here's our second trick: use the thumb or forefinger of your other (non-tool-holding) hand on the crossover to keep it tight, and loop the twine around the stake again, making sure that the second loop ends up below the first. This locks the twine so that if you let go, or later on a groundhog chews through your twine, the whole row doesn't slacken.
The second wrap of twine crosses the first one and locks it in place.
4. Continue along the row to the end, then take the tool round to the other side wrapping the twine round the end post.
Coming back down the other side of the row, fasten the twine at the same level as the first side.
5. Weave back along the other side of the same row, putting a row of twine at the same level as on the first side. You will need to flip the twine that was behind you on the first side over to your new working side as you need it. Once you reach the end, tie off the twine and cut it.
6. You'll see that you never actually wrap twine around a tomato plant, so there is never any injury from tight twine. The plants are simply held between two walls of twine that you "build" by making a new round once-a-week as the plants grow (every 8 inches (20 cm) up the stakes).
Add a round of twine every week or every 8 inches (20 cm). You can measure using your hand.
7. At the end of the season, cut the twine each side of each post, and pull it out, then remove the stakes and till in the tomato plants.
Laughing Stalk Farm in Missouri has posted a video of this method on YouTube.

Seed saving has been going on for thousands of years. Seed saving is easy. Always save the seed from the best vegetable you grew! Or the tastiest you buy at the farmers market or store.
Pick the fruit or plant that has the characteristics you want to grow next year. The one that was the biggest or had the best taste or produced the most or produced the longest or gave you harvests the earliest or was the most drought or pest resistant or the one that was most pest resistant. You chose what characteristics you want in the veggies you plant in next year's garden.
One caveat: You cannot get true to parent plants from hybrids. If they grow, they will often be totally different than the parent or could get weaker with each generation. You need "open pollinated" or heirloom vegetables for the seed to produce a baby like the parent.
Peppers. I love these small sweet peppers I get from the grocery store so I saved the seeds over the winter and planted out a couple of each color. I only had one plant that came up true to the parent. This is the one I am saving seed from this year.
There was also another pepper plant that produced prolifically small bell peppers. I am also going to save the seed from this plant because it produced so much that I want to grow them again next year. It doesn't cost a thing to save seeds from store bought veggies or fruits you like and you can end up with some great plants for your garden!
Garlic. For garlic, you save the best, biggest cloves. You divide up the garlic head into individual cloves and plant them in the fall when it cools off-typically, end of September or beginning of October. Most store garlic has been treated to prevent them from sprouting so you may or may not have luck using the ones from the grocery store. Your farmers market is a great place to get garlic well suited for your area.
In our garden, seeds can be saved now from tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce, broccoli, cilantro, dill, celery, borage, salad burnet, garlic, Egyptian walking onions (bulblets), basil. For peppers, squash and tomatoes, just scoop out the seeds, lay them on a paper towel on a plate and let them dry. Some suggest for tomato seed to put them in water and let them ferment a bit. The ones that sink are the ones you want to keep for planting, not the ones that float.
Greens. Many greens, like chard, parsley, lettuce, broccoli, will shoot a large stalk up then flower. This is called "bolting." The easiest thing to do is to let the seeds form, cut the stalk, then put the stalks with seed heads attached into a paper bag. Let them dry thoroughly, then shake the seeds out. Some may require that you roll the seed heads between your fingers to free the seed.
You can actually re-sow seeds from cool season crops like lettuce, cilantro, parsley, chard, chives and get a second fall/winter harvest! I put my dried seeds in labeled ziplock bags and store them in the crisper. The seeds last for years this way!

Japan Alarmed As Cost Of Missile Defense System With US Triples: Report
The United States has told Japan it would cost nearly three times more than previously estimated to develop a joint missile defense system against a possible attack by North Korea, a report said Sunday.
The Japanese government may try to renegotiate its contribution to the next-generation project, now estimated to cost a total of three billion dollars, the Yomiuri Shimbun said.
Japan's defense spending has been curtailed for three straight years up to March 2006 as Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi advocated an austere budget.
Washington's initial estimate saw the United States shouldering 545 million dollars until the fiscal year to March 2012 with work on the project starting in fiscal 2006, the Yomiuri said.
But the amount nearly tripled after Washington extended the period for development to 2014 and recalculated the amount based on previous weaponry projects, the mass-circulation daily said.
The paper said some members of the Japanese government have voiced concern over the latest estimate.
Japan expects the cost of maintaining the current missile defense system, which is scheduled to begin deployment in late fiscal 2006, to total 800 billion yen to one trillion yen (7.2-8.9 billion dollars), it said.
The paper quoted an anonymous defense agency official as indicating the US financial contribution should be examined carefully.
"It's possible that the US estimate includes experiments that are much larger in terms of scale than Japan needs," the official was quoted as saying.
Japan has been in a hurry to build up a missile defense system with the United States since North Korea stunned the world in 1998 by firing a missile over the Japanese mainland into the Pacific.

Buy, Sell or Hold at Pac-12 Media DayPosted by Andrew Murawa on October 27th, 2014
The concept here is simple and completely
stolen borrowed from Seth Davis of CBS Sports. We're going to take a look at the poll of media members conducted at the Pac-12 Media Day last week and tell you whether we think each team is going to exceed, fall short of, or match the expectations expressed in that poll. And when all this is said and done roughly five months from now, we'll look back and see how we did. So, without further ado, let's jump right in.
Arizona: Hold. The fact is that when you're picked first in your conference and earn 31 of the 32 possible first-place votes in the preseason poll, there is only so much higher you can go. Given that Arizona is going to be routinely chosen among the top four teams in the nation in just about every national preseason poll that appears, the stakes are pretty clear: Final Four or bust. Given the fact that Sean Miller has yet to reach such a lofty goal in his time in the desert and the fact that the Wildcats lost arguably their two most importance pieces from last season, I'm a least a little skeptical. Given such a high risk, buying this stock is out of the question. But with all the talent compiled in Tucson, we have to at least keep a little piece of the action here. When we come back to re-evaluate this, let's consider an appearance in the Final Four the barrier, with anything less being considered a letdown and anything more a home run.
Utah: Sell. Sell, sell, sell. And I like Utah. But let's remember that this is a squad that went 9-9 in conference play last season. And while they've got some fun new pieces (Brekkot Chapman, Chris Reyes, Isaiah Wright, Jakob Poeltl and Kyle Kuzma all have the opportunity to earn playing time), second place in this league is some heady stuff. The Utes will have to prove that they can win games when they've got a target on their chest, that they can win close games (they were 3-8 in games decided by two possessions or fewer), and that they can win away from the Huntsman Center (they were 2-9 in true road games) before they're worthy of blue-chip status.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel Hall
In Clayton County, the good deeds of many individuals sometimes go unnoticed.
At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the Delta Honor Guard ensures that the remains of local soldiers killed in battle return to Georgia with the utmost respect and dignity.
In Jonesboro, Keep Clayton County Beautiful, Inc., teaches children to respect their streams and rivers, helps people recycle their hazardous waste, and encourages citizens to keep their yards tidy.
In Morrow, the Morrow High School Air Force JROTC program teaches discipline and honor to local youths, and prepares them for future leadership roles.
Because so many good efforts often go unnoticed, state Sen. Gail Buckner (D-Morrow) honored several groups and individuals, during a Citizens Recognition program, on Thursday, at Morrow First United Methodist Church.
The first-time program recognized volunteer groups, representatives of state and local agencies, and individuals who have made significant contributions to Clayton County. Each individual, or group, was presented with a Senate resolution that eventually will be read into the record books, eternally recognizing their contributions.
Buckner said she has drafted Senate resolutions for a number of individuals, but never in a group setting. She said the program helps recognize individuals who have "all made major contributions to the community."
"Each person and group recognized tonight has such an extensive record of lifetime achievement," said Buckner, a 2010 candidate for secretary of state, whose Democratic rivals include Darryl Hicks, Gary Horlacher, Michael Mills, and Angela Moore. There are also several Republican candidates for secretary of state.
"A small piece of paper ... this resolution ... will just barely scratch the surface of the thank-yous we deserve to give these folks. They have made Clayton County, and the state of Georgia, a better place."
Among those honored were: The Delta Honor Guard, a group of Delta Air Lines employees who volunteer to welcome home soldiers killed in battle; Lt. Col. Charley James, Technical Sgt. Charles Thomison, and Master Sgt. Sandi Williams of the Morrow High School Air Force JROTC program; Eddie White, a 35-year educator and administrator in Clayton County Public Schools, as well as a former member of the Clayton County Board of Education; Keep Clayton County Beautiful, Inc., and its director, Edie Yongue; Charley English, a Clayton State University alumnus, former Clayton County police officer, and current director of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency; and Lucy C. Huie, whose Help Our Public Education organization fought for civil rights, and the desegregation of the Clayton County school system.
James, senior aerospace science instructor at Morrow High School and head of the school's Air Force JROTC program, said he and his colleagues "love what we do," and that Thursday's program and Senate resolution are "icing on the cake."
"Working with students keeps you thinking young," James said. "We learn as much from our students as they learn from us. It's challenging, sometimes, but it's extremely rewarding seeing their potential and being part of the process of bringing that potential out."
English, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency director, said the program is evidence of the "giving people" in Clayton County. "There are a lot of great mentors in Clayton County, who teach young people ... You don't just go to work and go home, you pour your heart into people," he said. "You see that time and time again in this community."
Buckner said that after the 2010 legislative session, the Senate resolutions will be viewable at the Georgia Archives in Morrow.

Isis Love
Pornstar Profile, Date added: 12 Jan 2006
Isis Love is a pornstar who comes from Winnetka, California and is a Virgo. She has brunette hair but sometimes wears it other colors and her eyes are brown. She is of a multi ethnic background including Jamaican and French. She stands 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 114 pounds. Her body measures out at 34D-26-36 and she did have breast augmentation surgery in 2008 which increased her bust size from her natural B cup size. She has a couple of tattoos on her body and both are names. "Eric" is on the back of her neck and "Jose" is on her right shoulder blade. She has body piercings to her navel and to her clit, however the only one she ever leaves in for porn is her belly piercing. She has been credited in some performances as either Iris Love, Isis or even Ashley.
Her entry into the adult industry came in 2000 when, according to her, she had a friend who was in the business and she told her she would be down for it too. It was great money for a single mom to earn and she was adventurous enough so she thought, why not try it. In her earliest works she would be assigned a different name each time until she worked repeatedly for one company and that name was Isis Love and it stuck. Some of her earliest appearances were for the company called Filmco Releasing in titles like "Spectacular", "Strap it On 4" and "French Kiss: Phoenix Rising" in which she performed lesbian sex scenes. Recalling her first scene she calls it somewhat embarrassing but since it was with her girlfriends and playing with toys it was also comfortable and familiar.
The movie "Whore At My Door" from Fifth Element was directed by John Whoremonger in 2005. Isis appears with him in the fifth scene and she's wearing a see-through outfit and teasing. She strips totally nude and is playing with her tits when John starts to finger her pussy. After rubbing on her clit for a while she sucks on his cock and then mounts him and rides on top while he fucks her. Next comes missionary position and then she's on her hands and knees while he fucks her pussy from behind. Finally she strokes his cock until he cums on her while she eats a cookie. Isis also worked in "Lethal Latinas 3", "Girls Night Out 2" and "My Daughter's Fucking Blackzilla 5" in 2005.
When asked in an interview who her favorite male and female performers are, Isis rattles off quite an impressive list of performers. However she doesn't really have any names of performers who she wouldn't want to work with. Having had nearly all excellent experiences since being in the adult industry, Ms. Love has been very happy with the quality of performer she's worked with so far. Among her favorite companies to work with she names Kink because they let her be the dominant and make people cum as often as she wants them to. Isis has performed in many scenes for the fetish and bondage company and has a certain flair for the kinkier side of sex. She enjoys being fucked while riding on top or in missionary style because she can see her partner's eyes in those positions and see all the action too. It's not surprising that those are also the best positions for her to have an orgasm.
In her personal life, Isis admits to masturbating frequently. She loves to make herself cum and is not embarrassed to say that she does it every day. When being fucked she doesn't care what size a mans cock is unless he doesn't know how to use it. Otherwise any size is a good size and she likes to dominate anyway so likes her man to leave it up to her. Her personal sex life actually doesn't stray too far from her on-screen sex life. All sex is "pornstar sex" to her and she doesn't even think of there being a difference between that and whatever people think that "regular sex" is. She has a lot of fetishes and names a few being kissing, feet, tears and BDSM. She loves anal sex too and would never say no to an anal scene.
In 2007 Isis performed in the film "Blacksnake Bitches" from Evil Angel studio which was directed by Jake Malone. Her scene is the fourth one and it's a threesome with Annie Cruz and L.T. as her partners. Annie is playing with herself wearing a bondage hood when Isis walks up and slips her toe into her friends ass. Annie is made to lick Isis' ass and then wears a strap-on dildo and fucks her with it. L.T. makes his appearance and gets his cock sucked while Isis strips her clothing off. He fucks her from behind with a lot of strength and aggressive behavior and Annie watches while masturbating. Isis keeps encouraging L.T. by talking dirty to him and asking if he wants to fuck her some more and such. She strokes his cock with her feet at one point and he finally ejaculates onto her face to close out the fetish scene.
Ms. Love also performs an interracial threesome in the 2011 re-release of the film "Black Shack 2" from Bluebird Films. She has a threesome with Jon Jon and Tori Black in the film and it's the final scene in the movie. The scene was hot enough to be nominated for the 2012 AVN Award for Best Three-Way Sex Scene at that year's award ceremony. In this scene Isis also plays a dominant role, slapping Tori and choking her as they team up on Jon Jon's big cock. It's one of the things she loves and does well and it's why sites like Kink allow her to perform and even direct scenes for them.
Isis Love is still an active porn performer who currently has more than 140 titles in her filmography. In addition to these she also has numerous photo galleries and web-only scenes that porn fans can enjoy. Her official Twitter account has well over 118,700 followers and she tweets frequently, keeping them up to date on her professional and personal life.

MASSENA - A Christian-based program whose goal is to help those with addictions recently celebrated its one-year anniversary.
Celebrate Recovery started in October 2011 and is still going strong, according to Christine J. Atcheson, staff pastor at New Testament Church and organizer of the program which meets Wednesday evenings at the Cross Current Youth Ministries, 58 Main St., next to the town hall in Massena.
Celebrate Recovery is what they call a Christ-centered recovery program that gives people the resources and relationships to help recover from lifes hurts, habits and hang-ups. Its for anyone who has struggled or is struggling with past or current dysfunctions or compulsions.
Ms. Atcheson has called it a Christian equivalent of a 12-step program, noting that unlike groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous in this program the higher power is God.
Its a year-long program for men and women. Were starting our second year. For people who want to come its a wonderful place to come, Ms. Atcheson said.
Anyone can walk through the door. Its just ordinary people. Its not just drug addicts and alcoholics. We deal with any kind of addiction or bad habit that gets in the way of life. If they have a habit they cant control, thats messing up their life, they can come. Whatever the issue is, its a way to medicate ourselves if something is not quite right, she said.
The Wednesday sessions start at 6 p.m. as a group.
We open up with a teaching for the night. People also put their own personal stories in it. They have all worked through stuff themselves, which makes it real, Ms. Atcheson said.
From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., participants are broken down into groups by gender. If the group gets too big, theyre broken down further by their addiction, whether its drugs, gambling or alcohol, or even nicotine, food or pornography. It could even be a workaholic who is never home with the family.
They break into at least two groups, male and female. If a group gets too big we break into two more groups, Ms. Atcheson said.
In the year that the program has existed, she said their largest group was about 22 people one night.
Its all ages. The youngest was about 18. The oldest who quit smoking was in her 70s, she said.
The program has been beneficial for some people, according to the staff pastor.
Weve had some amazing success stories, she said, noting one woman was married and doing drugs and alcohol. It was almost to the point where her marriage was in danger, her job was in danger and her children were in danger.
In that case, Ms. Atcheson said, she worked with a local rehabilitation center to see if the woman would be considered a candidate. She was, and successfully completed 30 days in a rehab program.
Another womans son will be incarcerated for drugs.
She comes to get support, love and advice, she said.
There are also activities such as camping and barbecues outside of the Wednesday night environment. Those are held about once every month or two.
With time, Ms. Atcheson said, the groups gel together.

In the second period of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Kings and Rangers, Los Angeles' Mike Richards accidentally smacked New York's Derick Brassard directly in the visor with his stick.
It looked painful.
But, if you look from another angle, Brassard certainly embellished the hit just a bit.
He didn't start bleeding out of his face like Matt Greene, so there's always that.

A good bathroom can involve a major investment, but there are small, budget-friendly changes you can make that will let you achieve a whole new look. Whatever's happening in the bathroom zone at your place, there's sure to be something on this page to inspire you.
While we'd all love a bathroom with an Olympic pool-sized bath and a separate vanity for each family member, that's the kind of luxury only a Kardashian could afford! The trick to making small bathrooms look bigger lies in your use of colour. All white not only looks fresh and totally fantastic, but it can open up the space significantly.
It can be fun to juxtapose a very modern-style vanity with old furniture that can be used for storage. Another option here would be one of those gorgeous, lacquered, free-standing units found at Asian furniture stores.
When you're putting in a new bathroom or refurbishing an old one, pay special attention to lighting. Downlights set in the recesses of this elegant tiled bathroom provide fantastic focal points. And don't forget to allow for power supply too. While I love my own bathroom, I do wish we'd made provision for using a hairdryer in there!

"You wanna step to this, ese? Do ya? DO YA?!?"
You all laughed when I warned you on the inevitable robot uprising. And then that other time when I got pantsed in church. At least now, Hollywood is listening.
Just the other day it was announced that Steven Spielberg would choose the adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's Robopocalypse as his next directorial effort, and this weekend comes news that Jack Black will adapt another of Wilson's books about robots overthrowing mankind (seriously, one wasn't enough?). Black, along with Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink, are looking to develop How To Survive A Robot Uprising. The eventual film will star Black as a layabout in a future society where robots are our slaves. When they revolt, it's up to Jack Black to save us all. It's like "Battlestar Galactica" with more farting. (io9)

On my way back from visiting family in New York, the passengers were seated and waiting for our plane to depart.
We were delayed and as we sat there, a man was talking on his cell phone to his friend Dan. Well, yelling on his phone is a bit more accurate.
"Whoa! A Mercedes C300? No way! Dan, you da man! You da man, Dan! I can't wait to see Mark's face when you bring that to work! Yeah, man, park in his spot! You da man, Dan! But you gotta replace those speakers, put in Infinities! Harmon Kardons are OK, but Infinities kick! Did you get the leather? What color? Oh yeah, that's good! You! Are! The! Man!"
As I sat there, I got to know a lot about Dan. He lives somewhere in Dallas and is going out with a girl named Ariana. His favorite color is blue and he works at a financial consulting firm. He's traveling to London in August and he loves sushi. Yeah, all of us passengers on that flight know Dan quite well now. Oh, and did I mention; he da man?
Later, when we were disembarking, I called out to the bipedal mouth and said, "Tell Dan that the C300 was a great choice. And we all hope his hearing problem gets better!"

Gov. Neil Abercrombie has released $37.5 million to repair highway damage caused by stormy weather in March.
The funding will also go toward safety improvements across the state's transportation system.
About $15 million will be used for emergency slope repairs statewide. Most of the work is on Kauai and Oahu, the islands hardest hit by the heavy rains.
An additional $7 million will allow for emergency drainage repairs.
A $2 million project on Hana Highway in Maui will widen the roadway so emergency vehicles at the Hana Fire Station have easier passage.
Hawaii airports will also get upgrades. Maui's Kahului Airport will see almost $9 million in improvements, while $1.7 million will be used to extend the runway in Kapalua. Lihue, Honolulu and Molokai airports also received funding.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alienist is an archaic term for a psychiatrist or psychologist. Despite falling out of favor by the middle of the twentieth century, it received renewed attention when used in the title of the 1994 novel The Alienist by Caleb Carr.
Although currently not often used, the term "alienist" is still used in psychiatric hospitals to describe those mental health professionals who evaluate defendants to determine their competency to stand trial.
- It is used in Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness to describe the doctor in the Company headquarters in Belgium.
- The title character of Joaquim Machado de Assis' 1882 novella "The Alienist" ("O Alienista") is a psychiatrist, Dr. Simão Bacamarte.
- It also appears in H.P. Lovecraft's 1927 novella The Case of Charles Dexter Ward to describe the doctors who examine the protagonist during his stay at Dr. Waite's psychiatric hospital, as well as in his story Beyond the Wall of Sleep.
- It is used in Daniel A. Coleman's novel The Anarchist, to describe the main character Jon Parker, who examines Leon Czolgosz, assassin of President Mckinley.
- It is used by the fictional Dr. Simon Jordan when mentioning fellow psychiatrists in Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace.
- More recently, see also Sebastian Faulks - Human Traces (2005).
- When Kris Kringle is put "on trial" in the 1947 film Miracle on 34th street, several newspaper articles call the psychiatrists who examined him "alienists".
- Newspapers in the 2011 game L.A. Noire use the term to describe psychiatrist Harlan Fontaine.
- It was used on the season 2 The Originals episode "Red Door", where Mikaelson family patriarch Mikael calls Cami, a therapist, an alienist.
- Also used on Television program Penny Dreadful: "Possession" Episode, where Vanessa speaking with Dr. Frankenstein, asks during an examination "meaning you will soon bring in an alienist?"
- New York Times; December 28, 1934, Friday; Two Alienists Report Alleged Budd Slayer Has Some Abnormalities. White Plains, New York; December 27, 1934. Two alienists reported today to Walter A. Ferris, District Attorney elect of Westchester County, that Albert Fish, 64 years old, held in the county jail for the murder of Grace Budd, is legally sane.
- In Agatha Christie's 1936 novel The A.B.C. Murders, Dr. Thompson, "the famous alienist", is called to Scotland Yard to help Poirot and Inspector Japp find a murderer who mails cryptic letters to Poirot before each murder.[1]
- The 2014 film Stonehearst Asylum, set in 1899, uses the term "alienist" to refer to doctors who treat asylum patients.[2]

Great American Country extends condolences to the family, friends and fans of Phil Everly, who died January 3 at the age of 74 from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Recording with his brother Don as the Everly Brothers, the duo topped the country, pop and R&B charts in their decades-long career. Their hits include "Bye Bye Love," "All I Have To Do Is Dream," "Wake Up Little Susie," "When Will I Be Loved" and "Let It Be Me." They are members of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"We are absolutely heartbroken," Everly's wife Patti told the Los Angeles Times, adding the disease was the result of a lifetime of cigarette smoking. "He fought long and hard," she said.
Billboard magazine reports Don released this statement on his brother's passing:
I loved my brother very much. I always thought I'd be the one to go first. I was listening to one of my favorite songs that Phil wrote and had an extreme emotional moment just before I got the news of his passing. I took that as a special spiritual message from Phil saying good-bye. Our love was and will always be deeper than any earthly differences we might have had. The world might be mourning an Everly Brother, but I'm mourning my brother Phil Everly. My wife Adela and I are touched by all the tributes we're seeing for Phil and we thank you for allowing us to grieve in private at this incredibly difficult time.
Many country stars posted their condolences on Twitter:
"So sad" to hear about the passing of Phil Everly," said Steve Wariner. "Another piece of rock n' roll history gone. Love to the family."
"Rest in peace Phil Everly (Everly Brothers), a giant influence on all of us," said the Bellamy Brothers.
"RIP brother Phil Everly
#RIPPhilEverly Legendary influence to ALL of us!!" said The Oak Ridge Boys.
"RIP Phil Everly. Thank you for your massive contribution to the music world. Some of the coolest records Ever!." said Bryan White.
"Rest in peace Phil Everly," said Charlie Daniels. "You guys brought us a lot of pleasure back in the day."
"Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my friend Phil Everly…he was a great artist and songwriter…his impact on our soundscape is vast," said Cowboy Troy.

Peter Schiff: "Washington is the Biggest National Security Threat"
Despite the seemingly endless string articles citing Iran as an existential threat to both Israel and the United States there is concurrently a growing and more compelling consensus forming: that US national debt and Washington's profligate spending is actually more threatening than an ostensible Iranian nuclear weapons program. As of right now we definitely have more evidence of the former.
Last year after Congress failed at agreeing on a long term debt reduction strategy, instead its deliberations gave birth to something our founders would hardly recognize as an enumerated power – the Super Congress. Rather than broach the subject of any real cuts the debt deal merely slowed the pace of growth and effectively kicked the proverbial can down the road. The debt ceiling was raised, this year our deficit for the 4th year in a row amounted to the total GDP of Africa and a recent study has shown by 2016 our debt with be a colossal $16 trillion.
This year, however, our media has been entirely preoccupied with the mounting debt crisis in Europe, after all there is nothing quite like lamenting someone elses woes than address your own. Its almost as if we've reverted to some time in the past where everyone's problems were wholly theirs and not our own. This fantasy has been indulged for far too long.
Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, expressed his concern last year: "I've said many times that I believe the single, biggest threat to our national security is our debt, so I also believe we have every responsibility to help eliminate that threat." Congressman Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) acknowledged the same earlier this year reports the Rotor & Wing Magazine: "…we face a very significant challenge, and we're going to have to work hard to be up to that challenge," Brooks said. "We've had three consecutive trillion-dollar deficits [and are] looking at a fourth trillion-dollar deficit this year—those are unsustainable and they're threats to our country."
Richard Haas, president of the Council on Foreign Relations also cited our immense debt burden as the real danger facing the Republic reports Yahoo News: "The most important national security question for the coming year is actually the domestic set of issues that involves the economy." Not once do these experts of foreign policy admit however that deficits we see mounting in front of our eyes are due to maintaining our overseas empire. Condelezza Rice last night at the RNC claimed our voice is "muted" in international affairs under President Barack Obama. If money truly does talk and considering how much money we spend overseas it is hard to see how this can be true. Last year Bruce Fein, senior advisor to Ron Paul's campaign and Constitutional Scholar attempted to rebuke such assertions that domestic entitlement spending is the true villian. He argued profligate spending has corrupted both domestic and foreign policy spheres, and shows how our foreign policy apparatus is in fact a massive entitlement in and of itself.
In an interview with AMTV's Christopher Greene on Wednesday, Peter Schiff echoed the sentiments of the foreign policy hawks, however, reminded them that without a sound monetary system and reducing spending we cannot sustain our military might:

This recipe was pretty good, especially for a quick, informal desert. I made 1 recipe in two 3/4cup ramekins - fine to serve 2. Would be best to let bread stand longer with the chocolate mixture, as mine wasn't completely soaked through after baking. I used 1% milk and a touch of sour cream and extra butter, since I was out of heavy cream. Turned out fine and satisfied that chocolate craving...flag if inappropriate
This is quite a simple and tasty dessert. I doubled the recipe, baked it in a small souffle dish and topped each serving with some freshly whipped cream. Like many others, I won't bother to double it next time - one serving would easily feed two.flag if inappropriate
i thought this was going to be absolutely delicious when i read the recipe, but i wasn't impressed. it wasn't by any means bad, it just wasn't great.flag if inappropriate
This dish is delicious. We made it for dessert at a football party and everyone raved about it. We preferred slightly more pepper in our mix.flag if inappropriate
My husband made this for me on Valentines Day and it was wonderful. We made it again the other night. Next time I have a Latin-inspired dinner party, this will be the dessert because it is easy and fabulous.flag if inappropriate
I also expected to love it, and it was good, but not "to die for." I do like the chocolate-chile combo, the cayenne was very subtle. I put whipped cream on top, but I think ice cream would have been better.flag if inappropriate
Very easy and delicious. Every one loved it.flag if inappropriate
I really liked the chocolate/chile combination- but like some of the others, I did find that the recipe made enough for two. But it was very easy and perfct on a cold night with some red wine. I would make it again- maybe with a little more chile, even?flag if inappropriate
I doubled the recipe and made it in two 8-oz ramekins. I liked it, but, having read the reviews, I was expecting to love it. My boyfriend liked it, but we agreed that it wasn't spectacular. Admittedly, I use the chocolate-chile combination a lot in our desserts at home, and so maybe it was not as new and exciting for us as it seems to have been for other reviewers. I'd probably try it again on another cold winter's night, with -- unbelievably -- a little less chocolate in the mix.flag if inappropriate
Huge hit! Very rich, and loved the hint of spicy-ness. Served with dab of creme fraiche and handful of strawberries on side. I increased recipe by half and served in 2 6oz. ramekins.flag if inappropriate

iPods improve doctor\'s skills
updated 05:55 pm EST, Wed January 18, 2006
iPod helps med students
Doctors can improve their skills using an iPod, according a new report. The time-tested stethoscope is being replaced more and more by high-tech (and high-cost) diagnostic scans to learn more about their patients' internal condition. The iPod or other listening device can help train doctors to use their stethoscope more and be more efficient, according to TIME. Dr. Michael Barrett of Temple University in Philadelphia, in a study published today in the American Journal of Medicine, concluded that medical students improved their stethoscope skills dramatically if they listened to certain digitally recorded soundtracks that mimic the distinctive vibrations produced by various valve problems and other cardiac conditions.
According to the report, Barrett discovered that you have to listen to a recording about 500 times to reliably discriminate between the different sounds made by various heart problems. After listening to the sounds on their iPod, a group of medical students were better able to identify the heart sounds on a test--up from 30% before the practice listening session to 80 after using the iPod.

Did You Know?
It takes 3 of our keepers to lift our powerful Burmese Python.
This heavy-bodied snake is colorful with reddish brown blotches outlined in cream or gold overlaying a ground color of pale tan, yellowish brown or gray. The lighter phase subspecies, the Indian Python, is paler in color and smaller.
The Burmese python is a non-venomous constrictor, and has infrared sensing organs near the mouth to aid in location of warm-blooded prey. Nocturnal hunters, the pupils of the eyes expand to allow in more light. Burmese Pythons spend the majority of their time hidden in the underbrush. In the northern parts of its range it may brumate for some months during the cold season in a hollow tree, a hole in the riverbank or under rocks.
Our python was a private donation in 2004, and was captive born.
There are no photos available for this animal.

Recent data from NASA satellites show countless fires burning on the island of Sumatra, in western Indonesia. Apparently, the fires were purposely lit by members of the local communities, who intended to clear the land and prepare it for agriculture.
Their decision to use fire as a means to prepare the soil for new crops has to do with the fact that this practice is both easy and costless.
In spite of the fact that, in the past, high officials issued bans to prevent indigenous people from continuing to set palm oil and rubber plantations on fire so as to get rid of the older trees, it is quite difficult to break a habit that has been going around for generations.
As well as this, rumor has it that the local government is not at all eager to see that this new laws are properly enforced.
Official reports inform us that the fires were responsible for pushing the air pollution index well above 100, which means that health warnings had to be issued for the people living in Kuala Lumpur and in other Malaysian regions.
For the time being, shifting winds caused the smoke to turn towards Thailand and thus dissipate to some extent, which means that local air quality can be considered to no longer pose any serious threats.
Mongabay explains that this is not the first time that hazes engulf this part of the world, as similar fires occurred between 1982-1983 and 1997-1998.
The weather phenomenon known as El Niño is considered to have caused most of the fire-related air pollution in the region during said periods of time, as millions of hectares burned down as a result of extremely high temperatures and considerably dry air.
Although the situation has somewhat improved, it seems that the people living there will have to deal with air pollution caused by haze for several months to come.

DACULA - The planned 31-acre Kroger shopping center that so agitated citizens in August just got a little larger.City councilmen voted unanimously to annex and rezone 3 acres on Dacula Road, owned by Marinela Chirita, to join the retail center. The 3 acres abuts shopping center property on two sides. It was rezoned from residential in unincorporated Gwinnett County to heavy commercial in Dacula. Gwinnett County's future land-use map shows the acreage as low density residential. Dacula's planning and zoning board recommended approval of the project. Michael Comer, Gwinnett County's deputy administrator, expressed in a letter the county's strong objection to the development. "Established residential areas should be protected from incompatible land uses," Comer wrote. "The commercial development would degrade the residential character of the area and impact the route of the proposed east cross-county connector." In contrast to the packed council chambers when the initial motion was heard last July and August, no citizen showed up to speak for or against this annexation and rezoning. A 69,000-square-foot Kroger supermarket plus 25,000 square feet of adjoining retail space will rise in 2007 on 18 acres on the farthest edge of the acreage. The developer will widen both Dacula and Hurricane Shoals roads to incorporate left -urn lanes, and install a traffic light at the intersection of the two roads. Cornerstone Investment and Development Group will construct a 29,000-square-foot, L-shaped strip retail center with nine commercial tracts on 13 acres between the Kroger shopping center and Dacula Village Shopping Center. Office building approved Pharr Avenue is slowly changing from its residential roots to a small professional area in the heart of town. City councilmen voted unanimously to rezone from single-family residential to office/industrial one-half acre on Pharr Avenue near Church Street owned by Marcey Lee Simonton. The property is surrounded by a strip shopping center, real estate office and property zoned for commercial uses. A house stands on the property that will be converted into an office building. The Dacula future land-use map classifies the area as residential, and the city's planning and zoning board recommended approval of the project. No one spoke against the rezoning.

Despite delays with fifth studio album, Fif is already talking about delivering his sixth.
50 Cent hasn't released an album since 2009, but the G-Unit General says he wants to come back in a big way. Speaking to Forbes magazine, Fif said he'd like to release his fifth and sixth albums in quick succession.
"This time I'm not sure I'll tour the world like I did on my last project because it makes my album cycles two years long," he said. "I think I'd like to launch this record and come back and launch another record following it because it's been three years since my last album, so I've recorded so much material that I'm really excited about trying to get those ideas to the public so they get a chance to hear it and appreciate it."
50 acknowledged that in today's environment, fans have come to expect music released on a faster timeline.
"I kinda think you have to keep the audience engaged a little more [these days]," he said. "There's a lot of new material that comes out. But it's not from established artists."
Previously, 50 said that with his new album he's looking to recapture the hip hop that he fell in love with. After a long-running battle with his record label Interscope Records over creative issues with his still-untitled fifth album, he released a much-publicized new mixtape, The Big Ten last month.
