You are bidding on a book titled "Coniston" written by Winston Churchill. Published by The MacMillan Company in 1906. The book has a burgandy hardback cover with a gold border and gold lettering of the title and author's name on the front cover. The spine has gold lettering of the title, author's name, and the publisher's name. The back cover has no designs or lettering. The top of all pages have a gold edge. The book measures 7 3/4 inches tall by 5 2/8 inches wide with 543 pages of text, including the title page, a two page "Contents" section, a two page "List of Illustrations," all at the front of the book, and a three page "Afterword" section at the back of the book.. The book contains thirty full page black and white illustrations by Florence Scovel Shinn. Also, there are two pages at the back of the book with advertisements of some of the author's other books. The author of the book is Winston Churchill, an American author known primarily for historical novels (born 1871 in St. Louis, died in 1947), not to be confused with the British statesman of the same name. Churchill graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1894 and having private means, he soon devoted himself to writing. His first novel, "The Celebrity", was published in 1898. His next, "Richard Carvel" (1899) was a novel of the Revolutionary War set in Maryland in which the hero serves as a naval officer under John Paul Jones, sold nearly 1 million copies. Then followed another great success, "The Crisis" (1901), a novel of the American Civil War, in which the heroine is a descendant of Richard Carvel, and "The Crossing" (1904), which tells of Kentucky pioneers during the American Revolution. These tales of America's past were Churchill's most popular works. His later work consisted primarily of novels dealing with political, religious, or social problems. In 1899 he moved to New Hampshire, where he lived for almost 50 years. From 1903 to 1905 he served in the state legislature and in 1912 was a Progressive candidate for governor. This book, "Coniston" (published in 1906), is the story of New Hampshire politics during the era of progressive reform, includes colorful politicans and corruption.The outside appearance of this book is very good, with a couple of areas of lightness on the gold border. The extreme top and bottom of the spine is showing minor wear and is about to begin to fray. Both of the two corners on the front cover of the book look good, and the two corners of the back cover are beginning to show minor wear. All edges look good. A previous owner has inserted a label with their name, address and book number attached to the front inside cover. The binding of this book in both the front and back is very solid and in good condition, with all pages intact and in place. There are a few small stains in different places in the book but nothing major. There is discoloration/fading of the very first front inside page. There is also a small hole (approximately half way up the page) that goes from page 13 to page 18. Overall, the condition of this book is very good, especially since it is over 100 years old.

"The mine site is at the foot of the famous Pink Cliffs on the west side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, home of some of the country's most majestic mule deer."
What is the Alton Coal Strip Mine?
The Alton Coal Mine, owned by Alton Coal Development LLC, is a 600-acre coal strip mine located in Alton, Utah. The mine's location is 12 miles southwest of Bryce Canyon National Park and 25 miles northeast of Zion National Park. The company that operates the mine is seeking to expand operation onto 3,500 acres of federally-owned public lands, further encroaching on lands that border the national parks.
What is the current status of the proposed expansion?
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is currently completing a supplemental environmental impact statement of the proposed mine expansion, which follows previous environmental reviews that have recommended approval of the expansion project. The Alton Coal Mine currently operates under a surface mining permit that was approved by the Utah Board of Oil, Gas and Mining in 2009. That state permitting decision was previously challenged by the Sierra Club, along with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the National Parks Conservation Association. However, the Utah Supreme Court upheld the Board's permitting decision in 2012, which has allowed the Alton Coal Mine to continue operation while seeking further expansion.
Why does the Sierra Club oppose this project?
This proposed action does not move us closer to creating a future of clean energy and sustainable communities. At a time when the environmental impacts of coal mining and coal-fired power plants are well-known, expanding a coal strip mine onto federal lands is not a smart decision. This proposed expansion would further threaten two of America's National Parks, as well as the air, water, wildlife, and natural wonders of Southern Utah. Potential impacts include the darkening of night skies with dust, the destruction of wildlife habitat, the creation of noise pollution, and toxic air pollution from hundreds of coal trucks. Based on the potential harmful impacts, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have all opposed expansion.
Moreover, this expansion would facilitate the creation of another industrial zone that relies on dirty energy to create jobs, while jeopardizing the area's tourism economy and public health. Additionally, communities in the West relying on this coal production for their power needs have the resources and climate to support sustainable solar energy development. By preventing the expansion of the Alton Coal Mine and urging citizens to push local governments to adopt clean energy solutions, we can protect America's natural treasures while creating sustainable economic growth.
What steps are being taken by the Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club to stop this project?
In January of 2012, Sierra Club delivered more than 210,000 signatures opposing the proposed expansion to the Utah office of the BLM. The day the signatures were delivered, the Sierra Club also organized a rally outside the BLM offices to protest the expansion. The Sierra Club will continue to look at all possible political and legal options to prevent the expansion of the Alton Coal Mine.

The Camelot Unchained site has been updated with a new post that discusses recent hires and, most interestingly, a first look at a development road map. Lastly, the team releases some new concept art on which to feast your eyes.
This week though we had a special guest star as Mike Milano (our modeler) lent a hand in the process. Like most of the other concepts, I asked our team to let their minds wander but with some very different instructions this time. First, I told them to think of the Hamadryads in a different way than is usually seen for this type of creature. Secondly, I told them to study both Guild War 2's Sylvari and the Dark Age of Camelot's Sylvan and make sure that our Hamadryads weren't clones, or even close to, those races. Also, the artists were tasked with incorporating many different elements into their concepts, including insects. What they did with those instructions is, in my opinion, quite interesting. Each of the pieces includes a reference to the thing(s) that they used as inspiration for the piece. We also have two "tail studies" as well since we hope to give the Hamadryads a tail attack along with other unique abilities. Oh, and before anyone says "You gave female Hamadryads high-heeled feet!" please note that when I saw those concepts I said the exact same thing to the artists and Michelle just looked at me and said "High heels are pretty.

A group formed to promote tourism to Fulton and Callaway County might soon need to turn its focus to building repair.
In his presentation to the Callaway County Tourism Board, member Charlie Bland said the sidewalk to the Heart of Missouri Tourism Center the group operates in Kingdom City has been repaired, but more repairs are needed to its larger concrete walkways to prevent damage to the building's foundation.
"The sidewalk is complete — it's not perfect but it will keep someone from turning their ankle or stubbing their toe," Bland said. "But the concrete around the building has depressed three or four inches, and all the water drains toward the building. We haven't had any problem in the basement yet, but we want to address that."

Tips to Successfully Manage Your First Credit CardAnthony DaCosta, Senior Vice President and Director of Sales, Univest Bank and Trust Co.
Thinking about getting your first credit card? Or maybe you have a child headed off to college in the fall with their first credit card in hand. Follow these tips to make the first credit experience a step toward a strong financial future.
- Choose your first card wisely. All credit cards are not created equal. It's important to know your card's two key terms: APR and fees. APR stands for annual percentage rate, and it tells you how much interest you'll be charged for the balance you carry from month-to-month. The lower the APR, the less you'll pay in interest on your card. Some cards have fees such as annual fees, late fees and cash advance fees. Look for a card that has no annual fee, or a low annual fee, and pay attention to other fees before using your card.
Once you have chosen your card, it's time to start using it the right way.
- Pay your bill on time every month. Build a strong credit history by meeting all payment deadlines. This will also help you avoid fees that may be charged if you miss or are late making a payment.
- Pay more than the minimum balance. Paying more than the minimum due will shorten the time it takes to pay off the card's balance. That means you will be paying less interest.
- Limit your monthly spending. A good rule is to keep your monthly spending at less than 30 percent of the card's limit to show creditors that you can use credit responsibly.
- Ready for the financial responsibility of a credit card? The Univest Visa® Platinum credit card is a great way to get you started on the path to a strong credit history. No credit score is required to apply for the card, making it a great option for individuals 18 and older with limited or no credit to build a credit history and gain financial independence. For more information, call 877-723-5571 or visit www.univest.net.
Univest Bank and Trust Co. is an Equal Opportunity Lender.

TAMPA – In his first official media address of the spring, Derek Jeter repeated that he planned to be at shortstop on opening day, April 1, at Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox.
"I'm going to have to push myself, but opening day – yeah, that's been the goal all along," Jeter said.
Later, manager Joe Girardi said: "We're going to have to watch, see how he progresses…obviously there's no rush to get him in games. (But) knowing Derek, I feel like he'll be ready (for the season opener)."
Some other talking points from Jeter's chat this morning…
- Jeter won't be playing during the first week of games, and he isn't sure when his Grapefruit League season would begin. The exhibition scheduled starts on Saturday.
- His fractured left ankle has healed completely and Jeter says his full range of motion has returned. Now, it's a matter of getting into baseball shape Jeter said.
- Jeter assumes he'll start running on the field at some point this week, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. He's been running on treadmills for a week.
- As for the ankle fracture itself, Jeter said it was a bone bruise that turned into an undiagnosed stress fracture that turned into a full break.
"I wasn't making any awkward movement (in the field)," Jeter said of the fracture that occured while fielding a grounder to his left in extra innings of ALCS Game 1 at the Stadium vs. Detroit. "If it didn't happen on that play, it would've happened eventually."
- More on the progression of Jeter's injury…
"Eventually (the bone bruise) turned into a stress fracture and broke in half," Jeter said. At the time, the only known injury seemed to be a bone bruise, for which Jeter received cortisone shots. "I was told I was able to play, so I played. Unfortunately it broke, but I would do the same thing over if I had to."
- Jeter still has a player option for next year, but he's focused solely on playing this year. As for turning 39 in June and the subject of his baseball mortality, "I never try to think of when the end of a career comes," Jeter said. Again, his concern is on 2013 alone.
- Girardi had said at the time of his injury that Jeter didn't want to be carried off the field. The captain backed up that statement, saying he'd have been embarrassed to have been carted or carried off. He didn't know the full extent of his injury at the time, but he'd heard the bone snap. He was helped off the field and hobbled to the dugout.
- As for the remainder of the playoffs, "It was rough to watch," Jeter said of the ALCS sweep by the Tigers. "Especially in the playoffs – I've never had to do that before."
- The captain categorized his offseason as "terrible," since he couldn't do much but keep his leg elevated for the first six weeks. He had to get around his home with the help of a motorized scooter.
- Jeter said it would be weird without Alex Rodriguez in camp. The captain won't address A-Rod's latest saga until Rodriguez speaks publicly about his association with Tony Bosch and the alleged ties to PED use from 2009-2012. Jeter didn't know that A-Rod would not be rehabbing in Tampa, at least not for the time being.
- As for A-Rod's fill-in, Kevin Youkilis, Jeter said that he was already a teammate of Youk's in the WBC. "I've always respected the way that he played," Jeter said.

This blog is meant to be honest - with you all but especially myself. A few of you have told me that I inspire you; while I am grateful for the comment, I feel like the last three weeks have been the opposite of that. I've let you all down. More importantly, I've been letting myself down.
Three weeks ago, I caught a stomach virus, and it took all week to recover. Right after that, I had a sinus infection that left me miserable. After finally feeling better, I was determined to get back on track, but it didn't happen. In fact, there's no excuse for last week. The only thing that happened last week was that I fell back into my old habits of being lazy and gluttonous. It's taken it's toll on me mentally and physically.
I don't know if it's just laziness or truly no energy, but I haven't worked out in about three weeks. I've wanted to. By the time I get home, all I want to do is lay down. So, I do just that. No motivation.
I really struggle with food. I love chicken alfredo, nachos, potato chips, candy, chips and salsa, etc. When I'm doing well with food, my mind tempts me with these yummy, fattening foods, and 90% of the time, I give in. To be honest, when I do well and I allow myself a "free" meal, I feel so so guilty for it which spawns even more "free" meals. I end up feeling so defeated.
Every Thursday and Friday, I give myself a pep talk: "Ok Sam, this weekend is going to be different. You'll exercise, make healthy choices in regards to food, and get eight cups of water in! You can do this!" But the truth is, I never do. In fact, when Monday rolls around, I'm always regretful of how I treated the weekend. For some reason, the weekend just feels like a vacation for me. While I give myself the pep talk, I truly know that it won't happen. It's really a wasted energy. It's been this way since I began my journey in mid-June.
After some time of thinking this morning, I feel like I don't belong on Spark anymore because I haven't changed my habits. I've tried, but like I said, they don't stick on the weekends. So what's the point? Truthfully, I don't feel like I will ever reach my goal. Maybe I'm destined to be this gluttonous, lazy girl. I don't even feel worthy of the pounds that I did lose.
So the truth is out. I'm sorry to any one who may have been inspired by me; in fact, I'm just ashamed of myself. I truly hope that all of you will reach your goals. Please don't be like me. Make the changes. Be happy.

Aw Sam, this post broke my heart. You don't let ANYONE down when you are not reaching your goals. We aren't perfect. Heck, I have been on here over 3 years. Yes, I said THREE and have I lost weight? Not much. Has exercise become a habit and I love it? Nope. I haven't exercised in a few days again. I simply can't be bothered. Am I eating 100% healthy? Nope, I had two helpings of a treat today. I also overate. No one is perfect. Please don't beat yourself up, get down on yourself, give up. You are welcomed here, you are loved.

I am here for you - we all our. Three weeks does not make much difference in the large scheme of things. If you need a break, no worry - take a break - but stay with us. Your motivation may come back soon - maybe something on this site will "spark" you to try again. What you are going thru is very understandable and not that uncommon. Take some deep breaths, take some time for yourself, and know that we are all here for you! All the best - Kathy

Look at all these comments! You see, we're here for you and we care about you. Don't let these last three weeks convince you to quit. It sounds to me like you really need the help. You can't get all the wonderful benefits of SP if you leave. Maybe you're just down-in-the-dumps from being sick for so long and it has you thinking negatively. I would suggest waiting until you are in a more positive frame of mmind before you make a decision like this. Please let us help you!!!
Keep us posted on what you decide to do! If you leave us, you will be missed!

There's nothing I can say that these other fabulous ladies haven't said. But don't quit SP. If you quit SP, what kind of support system do you have? A year from now, would you rather weigh the same as now(with the great chance of weighing substantially less!) or weigh 20+ pounds more than you do now? You can do this, Sam.

Spark is not for people who have changed their habits. It's for people who are trying to do better, and you are. Do you mess up? Yeah, of course. We all do. I binge on chocolate and potato chips for at least a week every month - not helping my weight loss! I've literally lost no more than 2 lbs in any month since June, and have had several 0-lb loss months. But what happens if you leave? I don't know. Maybe it'll be okay for you and you'll keep trying. Or maybe being here helps to keep your health on your mind 75% of the time, and you do better than without it. Spark is not here to chastise you for bad habits, or for gaining weight back, or for anything else. It is for support and friendship. If you want to give up Spark, I can understand that - I nearly quit a year ago, because I was overwhelmed by the social media aspect of it, and feeling like I had to live up to a standard. But my husband sat me down and talked to me, and said that it would be like throwing away an entire batch of cookies because a single cookie burned - and he's no fan of Spark in the first place! I decided to stay, and it's been helpful to have people around who continue to encourage me when I'm discouraged, and help me celebrate those (very) few and far between milestones.
What I'm saying is that you shouldn't give up because you feel like you're failing any of us. You also shouldn't give up because you feel like you're failing yourself. We are all harder on ourselves than anyone else is on us, and from all the blogs I see from you berating yourself about weekends, it makes me feel like maybe what needs to change is not your behavior on weekends, but how you approach that behavior. You've lost about 20 lbs right? So don't try to lose on weekends - eat what you want. Indulge. You're not going to gain those 20 lbs back in a single weekend. That's 70,000 calories in addition to what you need to live. That's over 35,000 calories a day. You'd explode. So indulge a little - give yourself leeway, instead of beating yourself up, and then go back to your regimen during the week. Or something. Find a way to do this YOUR way. Fast, slow, whatever - it's better than giving up and succumbing to depression, whether or not you stay on Spark.
If Spark isn't helping you, or is making you feel worse, then by all means, delete your account. We will miss you terribly, but you should be here for you, and not for us. That works in reverse too, though - if Spark IS helping you, you should stay, and not feel guilty for letting anyone else - or yourself - down from time to time. Believe me, the rest of us are not watching to see when you fail - we are just here to support you when you need it.

I feel like there's not anything I can say that these other sparks have not already said. Thank you for sharing with us. Thank you for being honest, especially honest with your doubts. You have no reason to be ashamed. Keep your chin up and take your babysteps (Bob) cause you have the strength to be the best version of yourself. I believe in you.

This kind of thing happens to all of us. The weekends are definitely the hardest, and I have had plenty of start-over Mondays. It can be really hard to handle and really tempting to quit. Please don't quit. Don't put so much pressure on doing everything perfectly. It doesn't happen. Focus on small steps to get back into your healthy routine. Each day (each meal) is a new chance. Don't focus on the past - it doesn't matter if you slip up or fall down, all that matters is that you get back up.

We all get like this and feel down on ourselves at some point. I was on Spark for over a year talking and talking but just gaining. Thought I had all the answers because I had lost so much weight so many years before- never minding the fact I was 30 pounds overweight at the time. I was not practicing what I preached on Spark- for over a YEAR.
It is my experience that sometimes, although we want to change, we might have to wait until something just clicks and you just do it. I also find it helps to take the pressure off yourself. Instead of saying "I HAVE to do this" or "I HAVE to do that", replace it with "I should ____ because ______". That nearly almost always works for me.
Think about what you're suggesting... just giving up. Is that what you really want to do?
Report Inappropriate Comment
Oh girl. You deserve Spark as much as anyone else. In fact, Spark is for those who are struggling not a platform for the succesful to get pats on the back. Whether you like it or not, you are inspiring. You probably just inspired someone else to finally be honest with themselves.
If weekends are your downfall, then make the weekdays your success story. Eat clean, get moving again, and burn as much as you can with the knowledge that you are going to enjoy your chips and salsa on the weekend. I am a very social person and I am typically hosting something or going somewhere every Saturday or Sunday. I allow for that by putting in a crazy workout Saturday morning before I even have breakfast and then I go to a Zumba class on Sunday. Basically, I eat crazy but I sweat crazy before hand on the weekends so that I can at least say, I don't gain.
Don't give up on yourself. If you woke up tomorrow BACK at your starting weight, you will have wished that you had this opportunity back. You won't be perfect and stop expecting yourself to be.

Oh Sam, it hurts my heart to hear you beat yourself up for this. And furthermore, sparkpeople has absolutely no "personality trait requirements" to fulfill. We are all out here struggling and messing up everyday. We are human and cannot be perfect 24/7, especially with advertisements and temptations EVERYWHERE. Sometimes I wonder how anyone could choose to live healthy when I see 47 signs in one mile of town advertising for junk foods. I REALLY don't think you are alone in feeling this way. I know there have been many Mondays when I feel like "why try?" For months I have done this diet/exercise thing and haven't lost a single pound. But, I keep trying, because I know that it's coming off one way or another. Look at what you HAVE done. You have lost weight, ran marathons, worked out consistently, improved your overall health, and no matter what you believe, you have encouraged many of us out here. I hope that this emotion will not overtake you to the point of stopping all of your progress. You should definitely let your sparkfriends be here for you and to encourage you. Hang in there, and no matter what,

We have all been at this place!!! Spark is not meant to be a end game. It's a website designed knowing there will be ups and downs. Life isn't easy and weigh loss is even harder. Don't get discouraged though! I wouldn't delete my profile, maybe take a little break. Step away for a little while, clear your head. Look deep inside as to why you keep on sabotaging youself. The answers are there, sometimes they take a little longer to find them out though.
Don't leave this place because you feel you've failed. Every one of us on here has failed at one point or another. But you just need to pick youself back up. Sure you may be sabotaging your weekends (we all do fyi) but sooner or later. SOmething will click and you'll figure it out. Hugs!! And good luck.

Oh Sam, you're being way too hard on yourself! Of course weight loss is a constant struggle; it's like that for everyone! I have the exact same problems as you with food, and with exercising...it's nothing to be ashamed of.
I've only worked out maybe 3 times this whole month! And yes I do have a knee problem..but there are plenty of things for me to do at the gym. I just choose to stay at home after work instead of going to the gym most days. I'm going to work on that more this month, but each day is going to be a constant battle with myself to get it done.
You have nothing to be ashamed of regarding what you eat, and falling into a rut. Don't feel like you're being pressured to live up to other people's standards just because they praise you for doing well. You're only human, and you're allowed to feel bad about not doing your best.
I would be sad if you really left Spark People...not to add pressure! LOL! I would be sad because you're a really nice person, and it's nice to relate to someone with the same struggles and self doubt that I have. At least on here you can always find comfort from other peoples encouragement instead of dealing with the doubt on your own.
Don't beat yourself up girl, because it's not worth it.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Post to the Host
Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
September 19, 2007 | 31 Comments
Mr. Keillor,
I'm a huge fan of buttermilk. It's rich, creamy, tangy, and delicious. What more could a guy want?
So what's the difference between powdermilk and buttermilk? Can they be used interchangeably? Is one better than the other? Have you ever had buttermilk biscuits? Do you have any thoughts on buttermilk drinking, and it's apparent decline over the years?
All the best,
Peter R.
Olympia, WA
My father loved buttermilk, Peter, and what's more, he believed in its health-giving qualities. He especially loved it in the summer and would pour himself a glass and drink it with great relish and feel refreshed and ennobled. For the rest of us, the thought of drinking buttermilk was akin to the idea of drinking cow vomit, in other words something that Communists might force a child to do in order to renounce God and give up nuclear secrets. And we might have done it, too. The thought of drinking it made us tremble with revulsion. There is no connection between buttermilk and Powdermilk Biscuits. I suppose you could make Powdermilk Biscuits by adding buttermilk to the biscuit mix (in the big blue box with the picture of the biscuit on the cover) but what you would get you should be careful about offering to your friends. Why has buttermilk drinking declined over the years? I suppose for the same reason that eating mud is on the wane. Because there are better things.

The letter made me smile. The reply made me laugh. Thank you for both.
I love buttermilk. When my son was young I would switch my glass with his at the dinner table. Very satisfying!
My Grandmother drinks buttermilk when she makes crepes. She says it reminds her of her childhood in Poland before the Nazis took her off the street and sent her to a work farm. I marvel at how strong a woman she is. Then I'll catch her eating pickled pigs feet and head-cheese. An inch thick slice of white onion covered in salt. She enjoys blood sausage, coagulated pig blood and or a cow tongue she must sneak into the cart at the Polish grocery. Pickled herring and raw potatoes with salt. Some sort of cow foot-jello and salt. Raw pig fat and salt. Boiled chicken heart boiled chicken liver and if my mom doesn't catch her boiled chicken neck and feet. Vinegar pickled mushroom stems. Homemade pickled cabbage which is nothing like sauerkraut, and occasionally she'll put chopped lemons in milk and suck it down after letting it stand at room temp all night long.
Buttermilk sounds great.
I use fresh buttermilk in several of my bread recipes. It can be a bit hard to find (w/o additives which affect both tste and texture) but I get it delivered by a local dairy.
Dear Garrison,
I loved your description of your father drinking buttermilk because it uncovered a buried memory of mine; that of my father doing the same when I was a wee lad in Cleveland in the 1950's. My siblings and I would watch because we couldn't believe he was actually drinking it!
Toeldo, OH
My mom and I just had a conversation about buttermilk---wondering why her mother, my grandmother, loved it. Any drink that is made by SOURING a perfectly good glass of midwestern milk is, at best, questionable and at worst: WRONG!
Mr. Keillor: It's no wonder that tastes have changed re buttermilk. The old and the new buttermilks are completely different products. I remember drinking real buttermilk in 4th grade after churning some butter from cream as a class project and it wasn't half bad. We cook with the new buttermilk but would never drink it.
This from Wikipedia:
Buttermilk is a term used to describe two types of fermented milk products: traditional buttermilk and cultured buttermilk.
Traditionally, buttermilk has been the liquid left over after producing butter from cream during the churning process.[1] It has a slightly sour taste since the liquid has been fermented by naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria found in raw milk.
In more modern times, commercially available buttermilk sold in supermarkets is instead cultured buttermilk, that is, milk to which lactic acid bacteria have been added to simulate the traditional product. During the 1910s, this product was called artificial buttermilk, to differentiate the product from natural buttermilk/ordinary buttermilk (traditional buttermilk).[2] The sour taste, or tartness of cultured buttermilk is a result of a fermentation process in which the bacteria turn lactose into lactic acid. As the pH drops in this reaction the milk becomes tart. At this point, casein, a milk protein, precipitates as it is no longer soluble under acidic conditions, causing what is called clabbering or curdling.
Best wishes, Steve Vessey
I thought about 'trying' buttermilk My mom always said you had to try something before you criticized it. Your response has convinced me that on this point perhaps she was wrong.
The thing about running with scissors however . . .
Oh! Garrison! Buttermilk biscuits are/were the staple of Southern Cooking. The trick is to add a little sugar to the dry ingredients before adding the buttermilk, to cut the tart taste. But a lighter, flakier, richer biscuit you won't find. A buttermilk biscuit is made with both baking soda and baking powder - the combination of the soda and the buttermilk creates a first rising of the dough in the bowl, then the baking powder does it's thing in the oven. Try them, try them and you'll see the difference. Add a side of cream gravy and sausage, and you have true southern nirvana!
Ran my car battery down (or thought I did...) listening to NPR the other day. Now I know why... LOL! Good one!
I too like buttermilk (but not regular milk) and I have a sister who has the same opinion of buttermilk and does not hesitate to describe to me how awful it is in similar terms. I also make biscuits,but from scratch not from the big blue box. The acid in the buttermilk combined with the baking soda as part of the levening makes for wonderful light fluffy biscuits. There is absolutely not taste of the wonderful tangy buttermilk.
Reason No.1 that buttermilk is not a popular drink nowadays is that butter aint hardly never made in countryside creameries. Because there aint hardly no creameries around. Without the one you don't have the other. If there's another reason (like No.2, my good Mr. Keillor), it's not that it tastes like Communist medicine akin to poison. You wanna taste "bad"? Try sour buttermilk. That's what my good Gramma had me get at the New Richland Creamery when she wanted to make the best chocolate cake this side of powdermilk biscuits. Come to think of it, I drank that, too, because I saw her do so. It wasn't really sour. It was cultured. And heavens, it was expeditious and good for you.
Although I now live in California, I grew up in Texas. I am a true buttermilk fan as are my siblings. But, alas, neither of my children are. My sister and I have buttermilk tastings when she visits from Arizona. My father worked for Cloverlake Dairy when I was in junior high. During a buttermilk promotion he was required to strap a lifesize buttermilk churn replica to the top of his car. I thought I would die of embarrassment to be seen getting picked up at school by him. But I didn't. One of their promotions (on the side of the carton)was a bumato cocktail (half buttermilk/half tomato juice). One day when he was extoling its virtues my mother asked if he had ever tried one (knowing that he hadn't). She then made him an offer he could not refuse (to prepare one for him). He drank the whole thing down, smacked his lips, etc but never asked for another even though I offered to make him one many times after that.
My Polish father also drank buttermilk, which made me gag just to see him do it. Note to Paul: He also ate all those same things your grandmother ate. Must be in the genes.
You are seldom wrong, Garrison, but about buttermilk you are. It makes the best, tenderest pancakes and some muffins and breads that you could ever sink your teeth into--less blah than those made with sweet milk.
I particularly like buttermilk with lots of freshly ground black pepper in it. I suppose, however, in your case, Mr. K, this would only mean that it would taste like very spicy cow vomit. Now about this cow vomit thing - just how do you have this rather unusual bit of information in your ditty bag? Not many, few even, would be able to tell what tasted like cow vomit unless . . . well, is there a story here or not?
Count me in the pro-buttermilk camp. Yum! It's like liquid sour cream! (And you eat that, don't you?)
Don't worry about its taste being detectable in baked-goods recipes. I have a chocolate-cake formula using buttermilk that's among the very best out there -- moist and chocolately.
Thanks for the post.... I think I'm going to buy some on my way home from work tonight.....
I don't understand the disparity.I like buttermilk and am enjoying a glass as I write. My brother, raised in the same household as I, and raised in the same way, had feelings about it akin to the ones you described.
I once met him on the river for a fishing trip. When he saw I had brought buttermilk, he stated, "well, at least you don't have to worry about it ruining. It was ruined when you bought it"
I love buttermilk and make homemade biscuits everyday of my life for my 6 chidren and all the neighbors, they say my buttermilk biscuits are best ever,and 70 years old and still make them by hand the old fashion way, I have a friend who has to have them to get well when she is sick.
We use to milk the cow and churn our own milk when we was kids, i couldnt wait until mom took the butter off the top to get a fres glass, I am the healthest off 8 children and never had any heart problemslike all my family.
Mr. Keillor WRITES: Why has buttermilk drinking declined over the years?
Kirk writes:
The fact of the matter is, the dairy companies removed one essential important part of the recipe and that is the FAT content. I was born in Chicago, live in Los Angeles, (not by my wishes)and have to travel to Mount Airy, North Carolina's, (home of my sister Georgette & actor, Andy Griffith) Wal-Mart dairy section to get true, 4% Butter Fat, Buttermilk. With just a sprinkle of black pepper and a dash of the little red bottle HOT sauce and served over ice.
WHAT A TREAT! Hmmmmmmmmm-Good!
Mr. Keillor, When are you coming to visit us in California? My family LOVES your show!!!
I loved your treatise on buttermilk and mud. I feel very much the same. I remember a comedian, Shelly Berman, who said, "It's not the butermilk so much as the way the glass looks after you drink it." I agree. Keep up the good work, Stan
Oh, Garrison, what kind of champion of Scandinavian culture in America could frown on butermilk, or "filmjölk" as it's known in Sweden? How could you compare this relaxing, nurturing, quitely spritely and altogether homey food with something from the front end of a cow? But then again, what could I expect from the man who compared zucchini with styrofoam? Heathen!
buttermilk is great and refreshing. your dad was right and buttermilk biscuits are way better than just plain biscuits. have a glass of cow vomit for me. bon appetit!!
I'm not a big fan of buttermilk by itself - but, buttermilk mixed with a little bit of frozen orange juice and a dash of vanilla - mmmmm. Now that's just wonderful!
Ah, My sainted mother Helyn and her sainted mother, Grannie Willie to me, made very good cornbread with buttermilk. Then we would break up the cornbread in a glass and pour either sweet milk or buttermilk over it. Yes, we did eat it that way sometimes. It was delicious. Of course the best buttermilk in the world was what was left after Mother churned the butter in the crock churn with a dasher and lid carved and assembled by Grannie Willie. She was a resourceful woman! I hadn't thought about that churn for years!
Oh, yes, buttermilk makes the BEST biscuits! Although I'm not a personal fan of buttermilk, I find my mouth watering at the sound of a commercial back home, advertising the local dairy's product. It's Gustafson, owned by Mama and Papa Gus, and although they offer "sweet" milk, as it's often referred to in the south, so as not to confuse it with buttermilk, the commercials always talk about their "sweet, creamy, farm tasting" buttermilk. It's that kind of buttermilk my Mama was raised on and still dreams of: the kind that was left after churning the butter, and had little flecks of butter floating in it.
I have drank buttermilk, as a medicinal fix for a case of thrush that I developed as an adult somehow. I actually chugged almost a quart in my desperation, but found that the more I drank, the more I liked it. And, low and behold, the thrush was all but gone the next morning.
My dad had a friend who would go on a drinking diet for about two weeks. When he finally came to his sense, my father would force him to drink buttermilk to help his stomach. It was a four to six week constant cirle, Beer, Beer, Beer, Sickness, Buttermilk, Buttermilk, Buttermilk, and back to Beer, again.
Never had much money, but always found the comfort of buttermilk to help him overcome what my father said was "his only real problem in life".
Some of us who live in the 21st century LOVE buttermilk. the secret is to get buttermilk that does NOT have salt in it (Friendship brand is one example). It tastes like cream but does not have the calories (Buttermilk does not have butter in it unless added. It originally was the liquid that rose to the top when churning butter.) some of us with a lactose intolelrance and a need for calcium drink it every day and pour it on our cereal because it has live cultures (like yogurt) that break down the lactose for us. Lynda Lees Adams
Mr. Keillor,
Have you ever tried Danish buttermilk soup (kaernemaelkskoldscal)? Wonderfully refreshing on a hot summer's evening, it was a favourite of my mother's family in Copenhagen. Here's how to make it:
Beat two egg yolks together with 3 to 4 ounces of sugar and the juice and grated rind of one lemon. Cut a vanilla pod in half and scrape the seeds into the egg mixture (or use vanilla sugar to taste). Stir this into 3 pints of buttermilk, then chill thoroughly in the refrigerator. Serve with whipped cream and small macaroons.
Buttermilk isn't my idea of a good time when it comes to drinking it as a beverage, but it's second to one for making pancakes, waffles and biscuits, and probably some other breadstuffs as well.
If you make any of the foregoing with regular milk, you have to use baking powder, which is made from baking soda and an acidic powder that causes the baking soda to fizz when liquid is added to it. With buttermilk, you have to replace at least part of the baking powder with plain baking soda, because the acid in the buttermilk makes the baking soda fizz.
The net result is wonderful. Pancakes, waffles and biscuits made with buttermilk are simply wonderful. The problem, of course, is that after you've made any of those items, you'll have buttermilk left over. It's hard to find, but powdered buttermilk is ideal for making those things -- you just mix up the amount you need for your biscuits, for example, and the powder will keep in the cupboard for a long time.
In that case, I guess you end up with powderbuttermilk biscuits.
I just tried a bumato, it is outstanding. Use a touch of grey goose with it in the evening.

On the note of lottos, an EX lotto would be great as well XD 1000 gran per pull anyone?
They actually have had one of these in the past. It was 100 gran per pull i believe, and, since it happened during EX 4, it contained EX 1-3 as well as Assassin Team and Blaze Knuckle.. good times. I also know its not the last time they'll do that event... and eventually when enough EX are out, it'll become permanent.
Wasn't the beginner pack your idea? Or was it Lucky's? Either way, the point is to be able to get a playset of the cards you need to adapt to Folrart. For instance, EX Fierte with Merc + Yuni = WALL.
Giving out a free beginner pack was my idea. But i was referring to the one that Ginnazoh was referring to, which was released for a short time before (and is gone for the moment for them to see the data they got from it and make it better). But it had stuff like Guardian and Merc and so on.. one of those (which has a high chance of getting you playsets of the cards you need) along with FM lotto for key cards from other starters should be enough for free players i think.

Placer Miners take second at Warrior Classic tournament
Loomis Basin Athletic League
A trio of Loomis Basin Athletic League schools — Placer, Newcastle and Loomis — competed in last weekend's Warrior Classic 7th grade boys basketball tournament hosted by Weimar Hills Middle School. Here's a recap of the three teams' results: Placer Elementary (3-1) — The Miners won three straight games before falling to Magnolia 33-32 in an exciting championship game on Saturday afternoon. In their opening game, the Miners used a late game rally to ease past Seven Hills of Nevada City, 32-27. Remington Mosburg's 11 points, nine from Justin Burrage, six from A.J. Muscarella and five by Jonathan Small led the win. In a wild quarterfinal game, Placer outlasted Barrett from Carmichael, 54-50, as Burrage erupted for 30 points and Muscarella added 10. Placer then defeated Newcastle, 39-23, in the semi-finals with Small's 12 markers leading the way. In the finals, a pair of late free throws by Magnolia proved to be the difference in the game. Burrage, who was selected to the all-tournament squad, led the Miners with 16 points. Small was also an all-tourney choice. Loomis Grammar (1-2) — The Falcons played three competitive games and had the misfortune of playing their opening game against eventual champion Magnolia. The Falcons dropped their opener, 42-33, despite 16 points from Trey Udoffia and 15 by Dominic Pericin. Loomis then bounced back with a 48-30 win over Forest Lake Christian as Udoffia and Pericin led the way with 12 points each. Cody Willis with eight, Kyler Ostenberg with seven and Jack Petty with six led a balanced Falcons attack. In their consolation game, Loomis fell to Seven Hills, 44-38. Pericin's 19 points and 10 from all-tournament pick Udoffia led Loomis. Newcastle Elementary (1-2) — The Knights opened the tournament with a 30-28 win over Weimar Hills as Clint Decker sank 14 points and Jonathan Newman and Riley Buffingtons each added six points. Newcastle also dropped a 46-40 contest to Chico Jr. in the third-place game. Buffington led the way with 14 points while Decker sank seven and Thomas added six. ~ Staff report

That is NOT what it did, it simply hovered, lowered the rover on to the surface and then crashed. There was no lifting anything back into the atmosphere.
You really do not like it when people have contra - ideas to yours do you??
So tell me - what is the calculated M3 of recoverable ice - water available on the moon?
If you have never heard of the Jules Verne resupply vehicle then I am truly disappointed... nuff said on that point, unless being obsequious is also part of your reply
"It simply hovered and crashed"!! Sorry, that is really too ridiculous to even reply to because crashing would have meant crashing onto Opportunity. It lifted, as it was designed to do....

With just a few weeks left in 2012, all eyes in Washington are on Capitol Hill and the "fiscal cliff" negotiations. As usual, Congress and the president are taking highly contentious issues down to the wire before cutting a deal – never a situation that ends well for taxpayers.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke coined the term "fiscal cliff" while urging Congress to avoid a steep drop off for the economy at the end of the year, thanks to tax increases and automatic budget cuts.
Here are some of the major components of the fiscal cliff:
Tax hikes are the centerpiece of the problem, as the largest tax increase in American history is scheduled to kick in on Jan. 1.
"Most of this massive tax increase stems from the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts implemented under President George W. Bush," according to a research paper by The Heritage's Romnia Boccia, James Sherk and Katie Tubb. "There is also the payroll tax cut, the alternative minimum tax patch, and a host of other policies that expire at year's end. In addition, five of the 18 tax increases built into Obamacare are scheduled to go into effect. Families will bear the brunt of this tax increase among American households, with an average increase of over $4,100 in taxes."
Raising taxes on upper-income earners would affect the nation's most robust job creators among small businesses. The effects of this would be devastating to the economy. Congress should extend current tax policies for all Americans.
The fiscal cliff includes required cuts to defense spending. The cuts to America's defenses known as "sequestration" were never supposed to happen. They are kicking in because a congressional "super committee" failed to reach a deal on spending cuts after last summer's deal to raise the debt ceiling. Now these cuts are poised to gut military readiness because of a previous Washington negotiation gone wrong.
Medicare's finances are in grave trouble. Years ago, Congress decided to reduce Medicare spending by paying doctors less to treat Medicare patients. That was an unsustainable idea – and Congress realized it later. Every year, instead of allowing the automatic cuts to doctor pay, Congress has made a temporary patch called the "doc fix" that keeps payments coming – which helps delay substantial Medicare reform. Now, "Unless Congress patches together another doc fix agreement before Dec. 31, physicians will see a 27 percent decrease in pay, a situation that will make it unaffordable for many doctors to continue accepting Medicare patients," Heritage authors wrote.
Federal funding for extended unemployment benefits is also set to expire at the end of this year. Extending these benefits again is one of the issues on the fiscal cliff bargaining table.
Although the average length of unemployment is 40 weeks, these benefits are available for 73 weeks. In a rough economy, many people need unemployment benefits. But "extending benefits for too long encourages the unemployed to postpone job searches or hold out for something that may not be attainable."
Congress should set the benefits at a more realistic 52 or 60 weeks.
This is a complex set of problems that should not be glossed over in a hasty deal.

Bea Arthur was a pretty cool lady. She played one of TV's first feminist characters on All In The Family, and of course, she captured our hearts as Dorothy Zbornak on Golden Girls. She was also pretty foxy. Hence, it stands to reason that when an iconic painting of not only Bea Arthur, but Bea Arthur topless goes up for auction, the bidding war would be high stakes and fierce.

Dovima With Peals, Richard Avedon.
I really like this picture, but it also makes me a bit sad. Dovima is my favorite model – mostly because she loved comic books, science fiction and was generally kind of a nerdy oddball. She was one of those people who seemingly had a glorious youth only to have an obscure end (she ended up working as a restaurant hostess). Of course, she might have been quite happy doing that. But still. Surely it must have been a bit difficult to go from capering in a ballgown among the elephants to telling people it was going to be a twenty minute wait. In this picture you can see the moles and crows feet and it's clear that she's no longer at the height of her beauty – but the expression on her face is still so priceless that you can see why Avedon would always consider her the greatest aristocratic beauty of her day.
Let me get this out of the way: I'm 31. Well into my 30′s. Out of my 20′s.
The transition from one decade to the next has been both wonderful and challenging, but for the most part, being in my 30′s is a welcome change — I love that I'm so much more comfortable in my own skin, and that I've pretty much stopped caring about whether or not anyone thinks I'm cool (I am. I'm super fucking cool.)
That said, I also don't have quite the same taut skin that I had in my late teens and early 20′s More

I don't even like Ranch
View TRAXINA's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from TRAXINA
Saturday, February 16, 2013
Bible reference -- In Romans, Paul says, "What I want to do, I do not do; what I do not want to do, I do." How is that so true, thousands of years later??
I don't like Ranch dressing. I haven't liked it for years... it is too many weird flavors and is like wax on my tongue because it's so fatty. (Kind of like mayonnaise -- I have disliked that for years, too.) So, why did I eat it on my salad yesterday? Why did I make a conscious decision to choose that instead of the Light Sesame or Light Italian? Perhaps I was thinking, "Spark has been showing me I'm not getting quite enough dietary fat," and wanted to get some ordinary "fat" into my diet. But hubby has a nice full-fat Balsamic Vinaigrette in the fridge, so why didn't I pick that?
I seriously do not understand who lives in my head.
All day, I was thinking that since my hubby would be out of town this weekend helping a friend move, I would make my healthy recipes that he won't eat. You know, everything that has asparagus and sweet potatoes and brown rice. (He eats healthy stuff, just hates certain things like those mentioned above.) I would have plenty of time to work out, maybe set up my bike on the trainer in the basement, run when I got home Friday, etc. I really was creating some grand plans. Then I got home and stuck a spoon in the Nutella jar and sat in front of the TV ALL NIGHT.
So, where's the disconnect between my head and my hands? This morning, I'm totally motivated, like I hit a reset button. Unfortunately, I have to make up for the sins of last night. I mean, I got my servings of fat in, right?! Ha!
I don't know, I just am not sure if this is something I just try to ignore, or what. I don't want to end up in a therapist's office, saying, "So, I ate ranch dressing but I don't even like it! What gives?" I am trying to schedule things that will keep me from being bored or whatever, but after long busy days, all I want is to be home by myself.
OK, sob sob, I'm a little embarrassed about this blog but I had to write it down for myself. I have to run off that stupid Nutella. At least it's snowing outside... I love running in the snow.

Green Goo
The Truth needs you to fly the jetpack, land on a train and steal whatever they least want you to get. First you'll need to know how to fly the jetpack, which isn't hard if you just did the previous mission. Make your way to the green blip on the radar which you'll find is the train. Presuming you have sub machine gun ammunition, fly over the train, and hold R1 to auto target the guards. Kill the ten or so guards all the way along the train, then land at the back and work your way forwards. Shoot the blue crates until they blow up and see if anything is inside. The first two will have nothing, the last one will have the 'green goo'. Grab it, then fly back to The Truth as the airfield. Stand in the red circle and The Truth will take the goo and leave.
Mission Passed! $20,000
Asset Acquired!
The Abandoned Airfield will now generate revenue up to $10,000 a day. Drop by each day and pick up the cash. All of the airfield's missions are completed.
The Jetpack is now available from the East side of the save house!
Now that you have the jetpack, it would be a good idea to use it to help you find the horseshoes in Las Venturas. You can read more about these in a separate guide, but if you intend to get 100% completion you need all of the side objectives, and they can be pretty hard to do when you've just found random ones, so I'd suggest following a guide through all of them. The next lot of missions you have to do are Woozie's at his casino. He can be found at the Yellow Dragon on the radar.
