Well, now that I've posted in a few other threads perhaps I should introduce myself here.
I've ridden bikes all my life in an urban setting. I grew up in Chicago, first riding department store bikes and then finally my last year there on a NOS '96 Specialized Rockhopper A1 FS that I loved very much and took with me to college in Troy, NY. I spent a few miserable years there, then moved on to Albany, NY. My Rockhopper died in March from old age (what do you expect, it's Al), so now I'm on a blinged-out Surly Steamroller. Chris King this, Campy that, so on and so forth. Lots of Salsa, too, carried over from my beloved Rockhopper. We're still getting to know each other, but I expect my relationship with my Surly to be a long and fulfilling one.
I'm a commuter and a recreational cyclist; I don't compete and don't expect ever to do so due to repeated knee injuries. But hey, I'm still having fun on my bike, so who needs racing!

Army Captain Finishes 5th in CISM Greco-Roman Wrestling
October 19, 2007
By Tim Hipps
HYDERABAD, India (Army News Service, Oct. 19, 2007) -- Army Capt. Philip Johnston's fifth-place finish in the 96-kilogram division Tuesday was the highlight of the U.S. Armed Forces Greco-Roman wrestling team's two-day tournament at the 4th CISM Military World Games.
Capt.Johnston, a former All-Air-Force wrestler who entered the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program in 2005, recently returned from the World Wrestling Championships in Azerbaijan, where he served as a training partner for Army Staff Sgt. Dremiel Byers, whose bronze-medal perfomance secured Team USA's inaugural Greco-Roman world team title.
Staff Sgt. Byers did not compete in the Military World Games because he could not secure a military passport in time for the trip to India.
In Hyderabad, Capt. Johnston said he felt like he was right back at the World Championships.
"There are people who win the World Championships and come here and lose," said Capt. Johnston, 30, a native of Anchorage, Alaska, who's stationed at Fort Carson, Colo. "This was a huge gear-up for the Olympic Trials. It's been an incredible competition. There are only three or four wrestlers who aren't here who are going to be at the Olympics."
"This is pretty much the Olympic Games next year, with five more wrestlers, because there were 15 in my weight class here and there will be 20 at the Olympics. Everything's so tight, anybody can win it. Just a matter of who's on their game."
In his first match, Capt. Johnston defeated Slovakia's Meduna Roman 1-1, 0-4 and 1-1. He then lost 0-1, 1-1 to Gerigios Kaoutsioumpas of Greece. In the first period, Kaoutsioumpas won the toss and lifted Capt. Johnston before throwing him for two points. Kaoutsioumpas also won the toss in the second period, and prevailed when neither wrestler could turn the other for points.
Capt. Johnston remained in the hunt when Gerigios Kaoutsioumpas defeated Lithuania's Ezerskis Mindaugas in the next round. Wrestling his way back into medal contention, Capt. Johnston uncorked a high-amplitude throw of Republic of Korea's Dong Hun Shin in the second period of a 2-1, 5-0 victory to earn a shot at bronze.
"I just went for my best lift," Capt. Johnston said.
In one of two bronze-medal matches in the weight class, Capt. Johnston lost both coin tosses and both periods by scores of 2-0 to Ezerskis Mindaugas. In the first period, Lithuania's Mindaugas turned Capt. Johnston for the winning margin. In the second period, Mindaugas scored on a gut wrench to claim the bronze.
"He's a tough competitor," Capt. Johnston said of Ezerskis Mindaugas, who finished second in the World Championships last month. "It was a tough loss but I felt like I learned some stuff. I'm just happy for the opportunity to be here in Hyderabad, India, representing the Armed Forces, the U.S. Army and the United States."
Because there were two bronze-medal matches in each weight class, no fourth place was awarded, leaving Capt. Johnston with fifth. Former world champion Ozal Mehmet of Turkey won the gold medal with his victory over Greece's Koutsioumpas.
Despite finishing lower in the standings than he desired, Johnston said he cherished the Military World Games experience.
"The people of India are the friendliest that I've ever been around," he said. "I love the food. It's been neat to meet different people from 101 countries. It's been an incredible experience. With the Opening Ceremonies, this is the second-best thing to the Olympics."
Capt. Johnston said he was inspired to excel for his younger brother, Air Force Capt. Kirk Johnston, who recently deployed for the third time to Iraq.
"There are a lot of people pulling for me that are overseas," said the Army captain. "I have tons of friends over there, so I wanted to take this opportunity to wrestle well. I've beaten everybody in my weight class in the United States. I wrestle against them every day. I just need to put it together on the right day."
Capt. Johnston asked to close with a shout-out to his deployed buddies: "If this makes it into anything my brother and my friends overseas can read, I just wish them the best, hope they're safe, and I can't wait to see them back in the States."

Today, I baked a couple boules of Susan's "Ultimate Sourdough," a batch of Anis Bouabsa baguettes with sesame, sunflower and poppy seeds and a Polish Cottage Rye.
I've blogged about Susan's sourdoughs before. What else is there to say? I love both her "Original" and "Ultimate" sourdoughs. I can't say I prefer one over the other. The one I baked today was from Susan's recipe, but I left out the olive oil ... I think. At the moment, I can't recall whether I forgot it or not. Hmmmm ....
The seeded Bouabsa Baguettes were made at my wife's request. I've been making different breads with mixed-seed soakers recently. My wife has enjoyed them, but has told me she likes the seeds on the outside more than on the inside. Being it's Mother's Day, it seemed a good time to make something special for her.
I followed the Bouabsa formula about which I've blogged several times before. This uses Bouabsa's technique but adds 100 gms of active sourdough starter. I also substituted 10% white whole wheat flour and 5% whole rye flour. The remaining 85% was Giusto's Baker's Choice. I mixed the seeds (30 gms sunflower, 30 gms sesame and 15 gms poppy) and rolled the shaped baguettes in the mix, spread on a sheet pan, before proofing on a linen couche.
They turned out well, with a nice crunchy crust, open crumb and very tasty flavor.
The Polish Cottage Rye is one of my favorite breads from Leader's "Local Breads." I have made it using First Clear flour with results like the photo in Leader's book. The last couple of times, I have followed the recipe and used bread flour for the wheat flour. The crumb has been very open and nothing like that pictured in "Local Breads." Using bread flour, it makes a very slack dough that requires extensive, intense mixing to develop the gluten sufficiently to allow one to form a boule that holds its shape. Leader's mixing instructions should be followed and yield good results. Both versions have been delicious.
I made this bread today with bread flour. It just came out of the oven and "sang" at the top of its lungs.
Today was just one of those days. That kind of day when any little thing that could go wrong does. But at the end of it, somehow, despite everything, I got some of the most gorgeous loaves I've ever gotten.
It started with the dog. Usually she wakes us up around 6:30 am. I told my husband to take my preferment out of the refrigerator when he took her out, and then I would wake up later and bake. Well, for once, the dog decided to sleep in and didn't get him up until almost 8 - which is when I planned to be up to bake! This put me behind from the very beginning. Add to that the stress that these were loaves being made for people who had requested them, and even offered money for them, and I was feeling a bit out of sorts.
You know, I should take that back. It started with the starter. Yesterday I had my starter out and it was going at a roiling bubble. After its second feed of the day it shoved the loosely-settled lid of its container off and proceeded to ooze out of the container and onto the counter. My mother, who is visiting, scooped everything up and put it in a bigger container. I was worried about possible contamination as, with guests in the house, a husband and a dog you just never know how perfectly sterile your countertop is. Ah well! It's for reasons just such as this that I keep a small portion of my starter back in the fridge and feed up to what I need on the counter when baking!
So, rather than doing the two loaves the recipe called for I'd decided to do a double batch. I put my cut-up preferment into the bowl of my new KitchenAid Pro 600 and then, for some inexplicable reason, added the flour before the water. I have always mixed my starter with water, then added flour as it is easier to get everything incorporated. I made sure to double everything - except the water! I almost forgot the salt, but then looked over and saw the salt in my mis en place and noticed the bowl, so in it went. At first things were OK, and then the KitchenAid began to protest. The bowl bucked and the mixer became sluggish. Uh-oh! I tried to reset, but it just wasn't working, so I turned it all out and started to knead by hand. After only a few moments of this I realized what I had done.
Let me tell you, there's just nothing like trying to add that much water into a dough at that late stage, by hand! I stretched the dough out as far as I could, sort of like a pizza with a lip, then added a bit of water and rolled it up. Lather, rinse, repeat. The dough became slick and a huge mess, but eventually I got it to a consistency where I was able to toss it back into the KitchenAid to finish up the kneading. As if this wasn't enough I had the pour guard on and bumped it when I was putting in my rosemary and knocked it into the bowl while the dough hook was going. There was a pop as the hook hit it, but thankfully nothing broke.
Thankfully I got a new dough bucket yesterday and I was able to mark where my dough was and easily saw when it had doubled. It doubled in closer to 2 hours than 3 or 4! I suppose in part due to the warmer temperature in the house, but the dough probably got warm with all that nonsense, and the starter was insanely active. Dough was removed and divided up into 4 slightly larger than 1-pound loaves and set to proof on parchment-paper lined pans. I'd like to say that from here on out it was smooth going - but that'd be a bald-faced lie!
Despite spraying my dough with spray oil the saran wrap stuck to the dough. Thankfully I was able to get it free without deflating my dough, though it was very dicy for a bit. Into the oven it went where, after about 8 minutes, I was reminded why I no longer use Reynold's parchment paper. I opened my oven to rotate my loaves - cue the fire alarm! Ugh. The parchment wasn't even that brown! Despite having to run around to the living room while flapping a towel like a maniac, I couldn't help but be giddy with glee as I could already tell that my loaves were springing like mad. I believe I can say that, without a doubt, these Little Loaves That Could are some of the most gorgeous sourdough loaves I've made. I even scored them, because hey, what could have went wrong THERE, right? I was worried that they might be tough and chewy despite looking so perfectly gorgeous, but the crumb is soft and feathery with just that perfect hint of chew! I even got HOLES!
With a trip to disney and AP testing going on, there has been unfortunately no time in my life to bake, or at least to share my baking adventures. But some good things have come from this brief break:1. I decided on a college! (I will be a freshman at Princeton University next fall) My tentative plan is to major in chemistry or chemical engineering and then do graduate study in Food Science (my cop out rather than going to culinary school)
2. I experimented with pizza. I tried the recipe from the latest issue of Martha Stewart and was very pleased with the results, ignoring my own mistakes of way over-proofing. I made a Shrip, pesto and asiago pizza that my friends devoured, and an eggplant and goat cheese that I loved. As an aside, an interesting fact I came across: New Jersey produced 1/3 of the worlds eggplants. Our south jersey garden state reputation is perhaps well deserved.
3. I started my scone experiments. My friend challeged me to make perfect blueberry scones, which are her favorite baked good. This morning I made a Mother's day brunch with Dried Cranberry, Walnut and Chocolate Chip scones (no blueberries in the house), popovers (Which are a family favorite with lemon juice and honey), rosemary scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and a berry salad.
4. I also started my, as of yet, fruitless job search. I have been working as a lifeguard for the past few years, but would really like to work as a waitress this year. Obviously my dream would be to work as a baker or a cook, but there are not an abundance of those jobs for nonexperienced 19 year olds. Hopefully if I can get work as a waitress in a local restaurant, the general experience of restaurant life will be a good one.
Post graduation I will have much more time to experiment, and I am really looking forward to that. Also, considering that now my phone camera and actual camera are broken, I may give up and invest in a new one for next year.
Happy Baking!
I wanted to try one of Dan's breads for Mother's Day and thought his Double Raisin Bread with Toasted Walnuts sounded delightful!
Dan gives several options for making it: as a straight dough, as a pain au levain, and as a pain au levain with a little added yeast. I chose to make the bread without the addition of any yeast.
Early yesterday morning I created a liquid levain from my stiff levain on the thought that it would take about 12 hours to fully ripen. At 8 hours I could see that it was just starting to recede, so I went into to action thinking I would have enough time to complete the bread before going to bed. (Just to clarify, I had planned to make the liquid levain in the AM and refresh it in the PM for use today, but when I saw it was proceeding faster than I expected, I just went for it.)
Results: I didn't get any oven spring but I think that was because I let them proof too long in the pans and I didn't have the oven hot enough (see below). The crumb is slightly wet, but pretty open. The flavor is quite delicious. This is the best raisin walnut bread I've ever had. I especially like it because it doesn't have a sugary or cinnamon flavor to it, just the pure pain au levain taste mixed with the natural sweetness of the raisins and nutty walnut flavor. I would definitely make this bread again. It is a real winner.
I'm hoping Dan will critique my method below. Dan's book, like Suas', is a big jump for me. But I figure if I don't try to learn to use this type of book, that I will never make real progress, and I really want to understand what I am doing so I will be able to develop my own recipes some day. I have given a detailed description below of how I understood Dan's method. Dan: you won't hurt my feelings so please don't hold back on any comments! Many of us will benefit from what ever you have to say.
From: Bread Baking: An Artisan's Perspective
Liquid levain:
133 g bread flour
133 g water
67 g ripe levain (I used about 60 g of my stiff levain and added a little more water to get to the total of 333 g)
Final dough:
467 g bread flour (I used KA bread flour)
67 g whole wheat flour (I used some I had ground about 30 hours before)
347 g water
13 g salt
167 g dark raisins (I pumped the raisins with warm water, but drained them before incorporating)
167 g golden raisins
167 g toasted walnut halves
266g of the liquid levain at the peak of ripeness
My interpretation of Dan's method:
1. Mix the levain and the water together with the paddle attachment on speed 1 until the levain is well incorporated, about 1 minute.
2. Add the bread and whole wheat flours, and the salt. Mix with the paddle attachment on speed 1 until everything is combined, about 1 minute.
3. Let dough hydrate with mixer off, about 5 minutes.
4. Resume mixing with dough hook on speed 2 until dough reaches improved mix stage (window pane forms but breaks when stretched), about 5 minutes. I had to add a small amount of additional flour, approximately 1/4 cup, to get the dough to sit right on my dough hook.
5. Reduce to speed 1 and add in the nuts being careful not to break them up too much.
6. Fold in the raisins with a kidney shaped bowl scraper. Dan warned me to be careful not to cut the raisins because they are high in calcium propinate, which is a yeast retardant.
7. Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let bulk ferment at room temperature for 30 minutes.
8. Do one stretch and fold, return to covered bowl, and continue to bulk ferment until dough doubles. (Although the dough was a little sticky after one stretch and fold, it seemed to have good strength so I only did one. I thought bulk fermentation would take about 3 hours--my kitchen was about 74º--but it took more like 5 1/2 hours).
9. Preshape the dough into two balls and let rest under plastic for 30 minutes. (The dough was difficult to preshape because it was loose/wet/a little sticky--not sure what the remedy was here, but I floured my hands and the board in an attempt to make it easier to shape.)
10. Shape into two loaves and place in 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch oiled bread pans. Cover with plastic and let proof until about 1 1/2 times. (It was now 10:30 PM and I didn't achieve very good surface tension.)
11. Bake in a preheated 375º oven for 55 minutes. (I think the oven should have been hotter because the loaves didn't brown as much as I thought they should. Also, I didn't get any oven spring, but that was probably my fault because I think I let them almost double in the pan--of course in my defense I had gone to bed. I got up at 2 AM to turn the oven on and again at 3:15 AM to put them in. By that time they were doming the pans and were probably more like double.)
Something a little sweet for my daughter! She loves brownies/chocolate. These small brownies are full of chocolate and sprinkled with a little expresso powder.
Terrible lighting for the photo..these really are very dark chocolate.
M for Mandy!
More for the kids ;-D
Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's,
I've been on a buckwheat kick lately and wanted to try Michel Suas' Buckwheat Pear Bread. Suas' book, Advanced Bread and Pastry, poses some problems for me in that its recipes all assume the baker knows what he or she is doing. While I generally know what I'm doing, I don't always remember to do what I know.
I made the levain yesterday, soaked the pears in riesling wine for an hour this morning, and then completed dough. The recipe didn't specify whether to dice the dried pears, but fortunately I was able to find some information about it on the SFBI site and figured out they were suppose to be diced. Still, I didn't know whether the weight of the pears was before or after soaking. I used the before soaking weight, and that was probably a mistake. The final dough was pretty sticky, and although not unmanageable, I think I would have been better off if the dough had been a bit firmer. Another thing that the formula doesn't tell you is how to assemble the final dough. After I had dumped everything in the mixer bowl, I thought, "I should have mixed the water with the levain before putting in the rest of the ingredients." That was a good thought but unfortunately I thought it a little too late. Anyway, I mixed everything up as best I could, but had trouble getting the pears and walnuts incorporated during the final minute of mixing and had to work them in by hand; the final dough was pretty sticky. The dough took about 2 hours to double. I shaped it into 3 rounds and let them rest 30 minutes, then formed them into loaves for my mini pans. I wasn't interested in making my loaves into the recommended pear shape--I'm way too utilitarian for that. I let my loaves proof for 1 hour and then baked them with steam at 400º for 35 minutes.
The crumb is a slightly spongy and a little wetter than I think it is suppose to be. Perhaps I under- or over-mixed the dough. You can see darker and lighter parts in the crumb; I think that is probably owing to my failure to incorporate the levain and water at the beginning. The pear taste is very prominent but not overwhelming; the buckwheat taste is very subtle. If nothing else, these little loaves will make great toast.
39 g buckwheat flour
138 g bread flour
174 g water
1/8 t yeast
1/8 t salt
Final Dough:
280 g bread flour
135 g water
11 g salt
3 1/2 g yeast
39 g toasted walnuts
92 g dried, diced pears reconstituted for 1 hour in white wine
My interpretation of how to put this bread together:
Make the levain 12 hours beforehand. Mix the levain with the water for the final dough, add in the remaining ingredients except the nuts and pears, and knead on speed 2 until you achieve improved mix (window pane forms but breaks when stretched). Add the pears and walnuts on speed 1 after the dough has been developed.
Let ferment at room temperature until double, about 2 hours. Preshape into 3 pieces and let rest for 30 minutes. Form into mini-loaves and let proof for about 1 hour. Bake in a 400º oven with steam for about 35 minutes.
High-Gluten Spring Wheat flour is what I use for all my sourdoughs, Shannon, and using it tends to make a stretchier, chewier loaf, which is what I want. H-G flour is a step higher in protein than bread flour. Don't know if you are making sourdough, but if so, here's a simple recipe:
50g starter
210g water
300g High-Gluten Flour
6g salt
Mix the starter and water in a small plastic tub,* add flour and salt, mix until rough. Cover and let sit 10 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, fold the dough from bottom to top around the tub. Cover and let rise until the dough has doubled in volume. At this point, turn it out on your oil-sprayed counter and envelope-fold it. Fold it two or three times, letting it relax between foldings. Each time you fold, it will become easier to handle and will hold its shape better. Now, shape the dough and leave it to rise either on the counter with parchment underneath or in a banneton (or linen-lined colander or bowl). When you can poke your floured finger into the dough and the imprint stays, it's time to bake. Pre-heat the oven to 500F, then turn it down to 460F after you load the bread. There are several options for steaming bread. My fav is covering the bread for the first 20 minutes with a stainless-steel bowl. Total time in the oven will be about 30 minutes. Let the bread brown as much as it can without burning. Don't cut the loaf until it has cooled.
*If you use a small tub (such as a 2-lb yogurt tub, which is what I often use), the dough will half-fill it, and when it doubles, the tub will be full! Cool, eh?
Remember to have fun.

The below loaf has 25g rye flour substituted for 25g of the HG flour:
I've been lucky enough to travel to Paris a few times. One of the new foods I experienced there was buckwheat crepes or galettes. The little bistro I ate them in was just across the bridge from Notre Dame. These crepes were served flat with an egg and ham in the middle of them. You just break the egg on top of the cooked crepe with the heat on low and cook until the white is set and the yolk is very warm. (Quail eggs would be especially delicious here.) When you bite into the crepe, the egg yolk gets absorbed by the crepe. These were fun to make although I had to add some milk to the recipe this morning to loosen it up (it really thickened overnight). I found the recipe in the LA Times. I'm going to fill some of them with creamed spinach as a side dish for tonight's dinner.
1 cup buckwheat flour1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs1 cup milk1/2 teaspoon sea salt4 tablespoons butter, melted
Softened butter for the pan1. In the jar of a blender, blend the flour, eggs, milk, salt and melted butter with three-fourths cup water at high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides midway with a spatula. Strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve.2. Cover and let rest, refrigerated, for at least an hour, or overnight.3. Heat a crepe pan or nonstick sauté pan over medium heat until a sprinkle of water sizzles when you throw it on the pan. With a paper towel, spread butter over the pan, being sure to wipe most of it off.4. Using a bowl or a measuring cup with a spout, pour enough batter to just cover the pan (for a crepe pan, a little less than one-fourth cup), immediately swirling the batter around until it covers the whole surface. The batter may be thicker than basic crepes once it has been resting and may need to be thinned a little; if so, add up to one-fourth cup water and stir until blended. It will have a different consistency than sweet crepes (more like honey than pancake batter) and will cook slightly differently, forming bubbles and lacier edges. Adjust the heat, if necessary, to medium-low. As with pancakes, the first one or two galettes are usually experiments.5. When the edges of the galette begin to turn golden and move away from the pan, about 3 minutes, lift the edge nearest to you using a spatula (an offset spatula works best). Flip the galette over. Cook the second side of the galette only long enough for it to set, less than a minute.

My re-innoculated, stuck sponge, made a wonderful batch. I've been working on this recipe for 3 years. This is where I wanted to go. As soon as I can confirm repeatability, I will post my "recipe" - actually it is written as a "best practice".
Had a stuck sponge this time. Fell back to good 'ol "dry active" to re-inoculate and the sponge took off like gang-busters. Will taste the results tommorow while I keg my new Red.
The bread really rose this time. I even noticed "oven spring" which I understand, results from what in brewing is the protease rest (122 F). I expect some conversion (beta glucanase - 104 F) is also involved.
Found some words in the Wikipedia that refer to what I am attempting - barm {from which the English get the word barmy - which may explain the why of my efforts :-} and emptin's (emptings) - an old American cooking term that showed up in print in 1790's (Simmons). The description of emptin's exactly describes what I have been doing.
According to the Wikipedia, "active dry" was invented for WWII and "instant" was invented in the 1970's.
As to the current state of my recipe - the sponge provides all the yeast and water for the bread. 1 Tbs malt extract powder to each 3/4 cup of water (simulates wort) and 2 parts bread flour to 3 parts water (provides the right consistancy for the sponge). The fake wort is raised to 85 F and shaken in a gallon milk jug to remove chlorine and add oxygen). The yeast is pitched and allowed to rest for an hour or two. Flour is added and allowed to rest overnight.
Re-inoculation method for a stuck sponge is: 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon malt extract powder, raised to 105 to 115 F, one packet of "active dry", rest for 15 minutes, pitch it into the stuck sponge and stand back :-)
Assuming the new bread has the flavor I am looking for and given the cost of "active dry" versus the effort to maintain a pure yeast culture, I may drop the yeast culture effort and only use the emptin's on the days I rack (primary and secondary fermenters) - which is at least a couple of times a month.

There are 404 students in Lyons Middle/Senior High School. In 2015, up until August 1, there had been 204 people killed in mass gunfire shootings (three or more people killed in one shooting) here in the United States. If that average continues, we may expect that about 360 people will die from mass gunfire shootings by year's end. Or, on a local scale, about 90% of the Lyons Middle/Senior High School population who would have died

It's not an uncommon occurrence for a state of Michigan prospect to have offers from just the instate schools before the spring combine and summer camp session.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Kris Alman
Review for Stand For Children Leadership Center, Portland, OR, USA
I used to be a donor and volunteer for Stand for Children. That was at a time when it was actually striving to be a grassroots organization in Oregon. In 2006, I protested to leadership when SFC decided to create this 501(c)4. I knew that these political activities would outstrip the 501(c)3 and the mission of the organization would be distorted by the wealthy elite. I am struck by the only "news" you have on this organization is a puff piece coming from Colorado.
So let me give you a couple other links to add to the news.
I would give this organization 0 stars if I could. With the help of an oligarchy, it (with Jonah Edelman as leader) is out to destroy public schools--and with that, will go our democracy.
Kris Alman
More Feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
I have met other incredible people who became Stand for Children leaders and left the organization, disillusioned with Jonah Edelman's leadership. We are a new committed group of citizen activists who will now use our voice to advocate for public schools despite Mr. Edelman.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
I felt unworthy and unappreciated unless I towed their party line. I had absolutely no voice.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

My theory: I think maybe the tap water was hardening the emulsion somehow (maybe?) or something to that extent. They're too regular to be chemical stains. I think that if the emulsion was softened unusually so that you could have damaged it by touching it.
Did you examine the marks up close? That way you could see if it was a depression or movement in the emulsion (which would leave it to be caused only by the gloves which we might be able to backtrace to distilled water via softer emulsion) or a residue (which should wash off and cause by powder or drying chemicals).

Comfortable hotel with free shuttle to and from airport (just call them once over skybridge). Room had all the basics including coffee making and Wi-Fi. Bit out of way for restaurants and whilst they will drive you to nearby, bit of a hassle (we enjoyed dinner at the Doubletree hotel - around a 500m walk). Complimentary breakfast was very nice - one of the better scrambled eggs. Good value but lots of competition!

She has been selling organic dairy products since 1993. She travels through the countryside to collect her products. Her products are not mass produced; therefore, her products don't include any kind of chemicals. Now that people are more concerned about their health, her product demand is increasing rapidly. She's requesting 5,000,000 MNT to purchase more organic dairy products such as milk, koumiss, etc. in order to meet the increasing demand.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of XacBank's green loan program, giving Mongolian farmers the support they need to grow and process organic fruits and vegetables despite harsh conditions and short growing seasons. These loans are used to obtain critical resources, like greenhouse space to shield crops from the cold, and training for traditionally nomadic entrepreneurs who lack agricultural experience. XacBank's green loan program also helps clients to improve their heating and ventilation systems, reducing pollution and health problems caused by burning fuel.
About XacBankThis loan is being administered through XacBank, a Mongolian for-profit microfinance institution. XacBank is located in every province of Mongolia, reaching some of the most rural micro business clients. With this Kiva loan, there is an opportunity for the entrepreneur to get a savings account including 9% of the interest if they pay back the loan on time. This is a special savings account that XacBank has specifically prepared for the Kiva loan borrowers to promote savings habits.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Aids is a scam - Prince
By James Hall
Independent Foreign Service
Mbabane - A senior royal leader in Swaziland has dismissed the severity of the Aids epidemic in the country with the world's highest HIV prevalence rate, and ridiculed programmes that promote circumcision and condom usage as ways to combat Aids.
"Circumcision only helps to keep one hygienically safe. If that is the case, why not use water and bath?" said Prince Mangaliso, head of King Mswati's advisory council, Liqoqo, the Times of Swaziland reported yesterday.
The prince blamed what he called profit-hungry drug and condom makers for misleading the public about the extent of Aids.
"This (pharmaceutical) industry is making a lot of money and if there was no HIV, there would be a lot of people who would lose business.
"They are making so much exaggeration about HIV and Aids so they can keep their business afloat," Mangaliso said.
He said he would not take an HIV test because he was not scared of HIV.
The remarks were made in response to claims by an 18-year-old woman that the prince was failing to support their four-year-old child.
The woman claims she recently removed her daughter from the prince's home fearing the child was being abused.
The 60-year-old prince denied her claims that he had promised to marry her, and refused to say how many other children he had fathered out of wedlock.
The personal questioning led to his wider comments about HIV and Aids.
Forty-two percent of Swaziland's sexually active adults are HIV-positive, according to public health officials, who expressed dismay at the prince's remarks.
Vusi Dlamini, spokesman for the Family Life Association of Swaziland, said: "Circumcision and HIV testing are part of a package of services we offer; you can't separate them. We need to engage traditional leaders on this subject."

Kristen Wiig Returns to Host Saturday Night Live, Spoofs Mother's Day With Flowers Ad
Nearly one year after saying goodbye following her seven-year run on the show, Kristen Wiig returned to host Saturday Night Live on May 12. The 39-year-old actress reunited with former cast members, who helped her kick off the show with her opening monologue.
PHOTOS: Kristen's best SNL characters
After singing a rendition of The Pointer Sisters' "I'm So Excited," Wiig gave a tour of backstage to prove she still knew the place well. Unfortunately, her memory wasn't that good and she accidentally walked in on Maya Rudolph and Jonah Hill making out in the janitor's closet.
PHOTOS: Funniest female stars in Hollywood
Other highlights from the night included a funny sketch for a 1-800-Flowers commercial honoring Mother's Day. "This Mother's Day, I'm going to show my mom how much I care with a little help from 1-800-Flowers," Wiig said.
"Oh honey, I love these. Thank you," her mom (Kate McKinnon) said after receiving the flowers. "But maybe you should keep them because your apartment is so sad."
During brunch, her mother asked a waiter if there were nuts in her meal. "There are never nuts in eggs benedict," Wiig said. "You're not even allergic. Nothing would happen."

Bayern Beats Man. City in Champions League as Ronaldo Leads Real
Bayern Munich won 3-1 at Manchester City in soccer's Champions League, while Cristiano Ronaldo continued his scoring spree as Real Madrid beat Copenhagen 4-0.
Goals from Franck Ribery, Thomas Mueller and Arjen Robben last night gave defending champion Bayern its seventh consecutive win in Europe's elite club competition.
"We knew they were a good side and they showed it," City defender Micah Richards told Sky Sports. "That's why they're the champions. We have to hold our hands up and say we got beaten by the better team."
Ronaldo scored twice, giving him a tournament-leading five goals from two games, in Real's home victory. Paris Saint-Germain beat Benfica 3-0, while Olympiacos won by the same score at Anderlecht.
Bayer Leverkusen and CSKA Moscow also won, as Manchester United drew 1-1 at Shakhtar Donetsk and Galatasaray used a late goal to draw 2-2 at Juventus.
Two goals in a four-minute span of the second half helped Bayern end Manchester City's run of 20 games unbeaten at home in European competition.
"When things go your way like they did today, it's a lot of fun out on the pitch, especially against a quality team like Man City," Robben said. "We didn't expect it to be as comfortable, but that's also a complement to our team."
Bayern Goals
Bayern went in front in the seventh minute as Ribery took a pass on the left, cut inside and fired a shot from outside the area between Joe Hart and the near post.
Mueller scored in the 56th minute as he took Dante's lofted pass behind the defense, went around Hart and put the ball into the open net. Robben scored moments later after Toni Kroos stole the ball in midfield.
Alvaro Negredo pulled a goal back for City in the 79th minute, before Bayern's Jerome Boateng was red-carded for taking down Yaya Toure as the last man back.
Bayern tops Group D with six points, three more than City and CSKA Moscow, which beat Viktoria Plzen 3-2.
Ronaldo scored in each half to give Real Madrid a 2-0 lead. The Portuguese forward has 26 goals in his last 21 Champions League matches and 55 for his career.
Angel Di Maria then scored twice to complete the rout and leave Real with a four-point lead in Group B over Juventus.
Mancini's Debut
Umut Bulut's goal in the 88th minute gave Galatasaray the away draw in Roberto Mancini's first game as manager. The score came one minute after Fabio Quagliarella put Juventus in front.
Shakhtar Donetsk earned the home draw with Manchester United on Taison's goal with 14 minutes remaining. Danny Welbeck scored in the first half for United as Ryan Giggs made his record 145th appearance in the Champions League to move one ahead of Raul Gonzalez.
The draw leaves Shakhtar and United tied atop Group A with four points. Bayer Leverkusen is a point behind after beating Real Sociedad on Jens Hegeler's goal in stoppage time.
"Four points from the first two games is OK, considering we were away at Shakhtar," Welbeck said on the website of tournament organizer UEFA. "We are a bit disappointed as we are Manchester United and want to win every game, but we have to be satisfied with a point."
PSG sits atop Group C with six points after two goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped it beat Benfica. Kostas Mitroglou scored three goals as Olympiacos won at Anderlecht to tie Benfica for second place on three points.
Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Schalke all won two days ago to stay perfect through two games. The next round of group matches will be played Oct. 22 and 23. The top two teams in each of the eight groups advance to the round of 16.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Grading & Discussion

Re: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Grading & Discussion
Just saw this last night and I have to say that the film really has some great story ideas, but unfortunately they're undermined by a lot of out-of-place humor bits. After the lights came up, two of my friends said they enjoyed it, but they wish they had introduced the characters and I agree. The robots generally just appeared and did a scene and then did little cameos later. Only the "big players" such as The Fallen, Jetfire and Optimus really got good screen time. I think giving the robots a bit more identity would have helped the story immensely.
That said, visually this movie was amazing. Bay really knows what he's doing with battles and explosions. The sheer amount of military hardware should make any geek happy and the CGI on the robots was spectacular. Devastator was just an amazing sight to behold and Sideswipe is pure awesomeness. I was happy to see a lot more daylight interaction between the robots, giving us a much clearer look at them.
Overall I gave it an "Above Average" thanks to the stunning visuals and the core story, which I think does a good job of deepening the Transformers movie mythos.

Virginia Zoo Building New Animal Wellness Campus
NORFOLK, Va. – The Virginia Zoo will soon boast a new state-of-the-art animal hospital and diet kitchen thanks to a capital campaign by the Virginia Zoological Society. The new facility will help staff provide optimal care for the larger number of animals.
Consistent with the Zoo's commitments to recreation and education, the new veterinary hospital and animal wellness campus will not only deliver the highest level of animal care, but will also provide an educational experience, providing information on animal medicine; the benefits of good nutrition, outdoor activity and exercise; and how our food is grown – including living fruit orchards and vegetable gardens. Visitors will be able to look though viewing windows into treatment, surgery and laboratory rooms, and the animal diet kitchen.
"Thanks to the support of donors, members, our board of directors, the City of Norfolk and the people of Hampton Roads, today's Virginia Zoo is able to provide a magical experience," said Greg Bockheim, the Zoo's executive director. "Continued support for new capital projects, like the animal wellness campus, will make that experience truly world class."
The new Wellness Campus will be open the public in the Spring of 2014.
As an accredited Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) facility, the Virginia Zoo exhibits more than 400 animals on 53 beautifully landscaped acres. For more than a century, the Virginia Zoo has demonstrated a commitment to education and conservation, and offered a fun-filled day for visitors of any age. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and located at 3500 Granby Street in Norfolk. Daily admission prices are $11.00 for adults, $10.00 for seniors (age 62 and over) and $9.00 for children ages 2-11. Visit www.virginiazoo.org or call (757) 441-2374 for more information.

I want to know what Cal fans think about all the changes announced today, but especially your thoughts on the new Bear logo.
Too angry?
Too scary?
Or just right?
I don't mind the new bear "logo" that's really a secondary logo to the cursive Cal. It's much like the Golden Bears you see around the State Fair grounds.
That said, I don't really care for the version on the shoulder of the football unis. Too Oregon wings for me.
Otherwise, my first viewing of the sets gave me an, "OK, they didn't screw anything up" feeling. I want to see them on the field in action before I'll really know how much I like them, but I'm definitely glad they have limited the number of variations.
The white unis I like very much, in theory, but they may look too Penn State(ish) when out there.
YUCK! Its horrible -it looks lost
it either looks like Yogi the Bear or a member from the Planet of the Apes?
From a distance, the top of the snout looks like two bushy old man eye brows. From close up, it looks like the bear is crying. Overall, I'm cool with it. To me, the uniforms look the same. All of this hype for gunmetal helmets? Those are so 2010. I don't care if we wear fluorescent yellow, just win baby.
Love it.
Where's the teeth? Clearly not ferocious enough.
Is that bear vegan?
New bear looks befuddled. Early stage dementia?
really like it personally.
in the end, this has to appeal to the kids born in the late 90s that we're currently recruiting.
Dave, what concerns me whenever someone uses the "what matters is the kids like it" argument, is that non-"kids" almost always have what's cool wrong.
I'm really not liking the Bear on the shoulders, more each time I see it.
What they really needed to do – you know how the QB's shoulder inevitably gets yanked over his shoulder pad once or twice a game? They should have done MAD back page art, so the Bear turns into Oski giving the finger whever the QB's uni gets folded over the shoulder pad.
I like them, don't think they hit a home run. Certainly didn't scre anything up though. The bigger piece to me is rebranding across all sports. That is a solid step forward.
In and of itself, it's OK. But when compared to Oski…well, one of them has to go….
Definitely needs fangs with eyes wide open as if on the attack and with the words "With Extreme Prejudice," under its paws. GO BEARS!
I like it, period…
I like the new uniforms.
The grey will look good on the road, like that we can go white on white, grey on grey but also grey tops blue pants and white tops gold pants. Great that home will mostly be blue top gold pants and only break out gold tops for special occasions and gold outs. Do like the gold tops blue pants. We have won some big games with that combo.
Overall very solid.
Now, Cal needs to market this stuff well and win on gamedays!
I don't care either way. The bear logo is fine, it just doesn't scream "CAL" to me. It says Montana State or Wyoming if their mascots were bears.
As for the uniforms, they look about the same to me from last year. The only thing that seems off are the matte helmets. It will take some getting used to not seeing the glossy helmets.
Overall, they are alright.
Only this morning did I notice the font used to spell "CALIFORNIA" on the basketball jerseys. Plain stupid. To do anything other than the block letters found, oh, I don't know, ABOVE THE CAMPUS!, is just idiotic. This font, as a brand, is rather tragic.
Until they start winning games (or fans turn their attention to the real sport — rugby –) I could not care less about the logo.

Michigan Basketball vs. MSU Open Thread
Albrecht feels spazzy to me.
Robinson making plays!!!
diggin' on Spike, good stuff
I don't understand why our defense calls for sending our bigs out past the 3 point line so freaking much. Makes no sense to me.
I'm trying to make sense of it too and the only thing I can think of is that we're trying to get bigger/taller men in front of their players shooting for a 3, hoping some actually don't go in hah.
Can't figure this one out either. It's frustrating and has left so many opposing teams with wide open shots
There's basically four ways (in my opinion) to defend the ball screen.
1. Go underneath it. Never done at a high level because a PG can just pull up for an easy three.
2. Hard trap it. If a team knows it is coming, a good point guard can easily make you pay by splitting it, passing out of it early, etc etc. Many ways to beat it.
3. Hedge and recover. Most teams, including us, will hedge and recover. The hedge forces the ball handler far enough out that the big man can recover to his man.
4. Switch. Rarely a good idea with exceptional guards going against big men.
I like Spike a lot. When he's a senior, I think he will be amazing.
Yet, I want him running the offense usually - not shooting without passing twice in a row.
Man is Payne good. Probably a B10 1st teamer. I'd like to see us attack him a bit on offense.
Agree - hope he goes pro next year.
Probably the most improved player I've seen in the B1G this year, living up to the pedigree he came to EL with. We've got to keep him off the 3pt line.
why can't we get defensive rebounds.
Is not NBA yet.
No Trey = No offense
this game will not end well unless that changes. Box out and hustle need to increase a lot, and soon.
This week on "Stats that will regress to the mean": MSU 50% from 3, UM 0%.
Stauskas back to a standing ovation!
I have to remember how young they are. There is a lot of talent on this team, but not enough hustle. Makes me miss Novak
Good energy but poooooor defensive blocking out. Payne will cool off but let's hope Harris doesn't replace that scoring.
Trey needs to take better shots on 3's, Horford needs to start improving at some point, maybe put Max in instead sometimes
We can't afford three or four minutes of spike today.
you'd think guys would try and distinguish themselves by hustling more
Where the hell was the foul on that alley-oop?
Holy shit I wish they'd miss a 3.
Just me or did McGary get wiped out on that oop attempt?
Not you
Mitch must have stones for hands
What a line up out there right now. Wow.
Defensive effort.
Gawd our D is awful..
MSU shooting 56% from the 3 while outrebounding us 2:1 won't end well, so hope that changes soon.
got to reel them back in and get some momentum back. This team is too young to be down 10 at the half. Let's get er going
don't let them get a bigger lead, dangerous territory
So this is the moment where Michigan lays down and never quite catches up.
With an Akunne
Good call
Vogrich is as doughy as he was the day he entered the program.
it must really suck to be as pessimistic as you
Then p!lease, please stop wathing and commenting!
get Matt the fuck oput of there please, just stupid
Elbow extended? Must be a foul on the defender!
Calm down. It's a 3 point game.
Too much dribbling and standing around. Run a set, please.
They missed a 3! Turning point!
Can we hit a freaking wide open 3 please? Jesus!
That's why we need Stauskas. LeVert isn't making his 3's.
That's why we need Stauskas. LeVert isn't making his 3's.
Stauskas hasn't made many lately either.
Absolutely. Because Nik has been automatic from behind the arc lately to go along with his great defensive play...

NPT states must sue Israel over nuclear arsenals: Iran MP
A senior Iranian lawmaker has called on the signatories to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to lodge complaints against Israel in connection with the Zionist regime's threatening nuclear arsenals. "The Zionist regime, possessing at least 200 nuclear warheads and refusing to be accountable to relevant bodies such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), [thus] posing a major threat to peace in the Middle East," said Chairman of Iran Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi on Tuesday.
"The countries committed to the NPT should constantly file complaints with international bodies against the Zionist regime and demand that the Agency seriously deal with this center of nuclear threat in the Middle East," the Iranian lawmaker added.The Israeli regime is widely believed to be the sole possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, and has invariably refused to either allow inspections of its nuclear facilities or join the NPT. The Iranian lawmaker lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his recent anti-Iran rhetoric, saying, "The red lines which Netanyahu draws for Iran have made him the laughing stock of the entire world."
"How can this [Israeli] regime which has no commitment to the international community and is not a signatory to the NPT make hostile remarks about a country like Iran?" Boroujerdi asked.In a Sunday interview on CBS News' "Face the Nation," Netanyahu threatened to take unilateral action against Iran over the country's nuclear energy program. He repeated Israel's allegations that Iran is "edging up to the red line" to build a nuclear bomb and noted, "I won't wait until it's too late." Netanyahu also insulted Iran's president-elect Hassan Rohani and said his strategy is to "be a wolf in sheep's clothing - smile and build a bomb." The US and Israel have repeatedly threatened to take military action against Iran in order to force the Islamic Republic to halt its uranium enrichment program, which Washington and Tel Aviv claim includes a military component. Iran rejects the allegation, arguing that as a committed signatory to the NPT and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that Iran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted toward military purposes.

MILACA, Minn. — A Milaca High School senior is on suspension after leaving his hunting bow in his SUV that was parked at school.
Keith Larson has missed a week and a half of school and can't return to class until Wednesday.
Larson said had been on a hunting trip a few days before the morning he drove to school with his bow and arrow set still sitting in the back of his SUV. He said it was covered up, just sitting in the back end.
"I didn't plan nothing to use it. I just forgot it in the back of my vehicle," he said.
Larson said he reported it to his teacher in his first class as soon as he remembered he had the bow. But she didn't report the bow to administrators right away, he said.
"And then halfway through the last hour of the day the principal came and called me down, and came and took it out of my vehicle, and told me I was getting suspended and possibly expelled," Larson recalled.
Principal Troy Anderson said the school has a strict, zero-tolerance policy, and students know they can't bring weapons to school.
"Our kids at Milaca High School should know what the expectations are," Anderson said. "In my mind is a bow a weapon? In my mind, it is."
The principal would not talk about specifics of the case, but said Larson won't be expelled.
Larson is a football player and captain of the wrestling team, and is nominated to be homecoming king. He said he feels he's been treated harshly, especially since he told his teacher about the bow.
Zero-tolerance policies on weapons are common. Last week, the Anoka-Hennepin School Board voted to put a 17-year-old Blaine High School senior on probation for having a box cutter in his car. Tony Richard will be on probation until the end of the first quarter. Any infractions in the meantime could result in expulsion.

I am fairly new to this area of the country and found that gardening and lawn care are extremely different than what I was used to from the east coast and southeast U.S. I found the personnel of Rick's Garden Center to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and most importantly patient in answering all the questions I had. No hard pressure sales tactics. Just good quality information that was accurate and suggestions on how to accomplish my goals for the garden and yard. Reasonable and very competitive prices with quality plants and shrubs unequalled by their competitors. (Well they actually have no competitors; they are in a class well above them all!) I highly recommend this business for all your gardening, yard and most other outdoor needs.
