In Brief: Those with COBRA can apply for Obamacare
Consumers who currently have COBRA insurance may qualify for a one-time special enrollment through the Affordable Care Act's marketplace.
Those with COBRA can switch to a marketplace plan between now and July 1. They should call (800) 318-2596 and inform the call center they are calling about their COBRA benefits and the marketplace.
Once determined eligible, consumers can view all plans available to them and continue the enrollment process over the phone or online, by creating an account on www.healthcare.gov.
Consumers who are eligible for or enrolled in COBRA coverage may want to seek other coverage options that may be more affordable than COBRA.

Local students sponsor bike event for cancer
Two local high school students will once again sponsor a bicycle event to raise money for the Cancer Research Foundation.
Lucas Buseck and Mitchell Reichert have raised more than $30,000 through their Biking to Beat Cancer event. Their goal in 2014 is to raise an additional $12,500 and attract at least 200 cyclists.
The Biking to Beat Cancer Memorial Day ride begins and ends at Walnut Creek Middle School and offers riders courses of 10 miles, 28 miles and 43 miles.
The event will feature raffles and giveaways for the riders. It is open to cyclists of all ages, but riders 12 and younger must be accompanied by an adult, and all riders must wear helmets.

A 20-year-old Wando man died after he was shot outside of a nightclub in the rural Cainhoy community early Sunday morning.

Reclamation Recipes # 2 Scrappy Tuna Salad
I was home and under the weather. Hungry. Cranky. Not a whole lot in the fridge and even less motivation to make lunch or leave the house to find something to eat. I scanned the cupboard and only found a little of this and a little of that…a handful of walnuts, a few dried cranberries, half a Granny Smith apple left from the Recipes for Health Apples shoot and some bread. Through the haze of my head cold I had some inspiration. I am really fond of the tuna salad with cranberries and apples that I get at the Whole Foods prepared foods section, so I crossed my fingers and searched for some canned tuna in the cabinet. I was in luck… and here is my approximation of that dish. I was a little less grumpy after lunch.
Half a small onion cut in small dice
1/4 C. walnut pieces
1/4 C. dried cranberries, chopped
1/2 Granny Smith apple, cut in small dice
2 6 oz. cans of Albacore packed in water, drained
2 Tbsp. mayonaise
salt and pepper to taste
toasted whole wheat bread
Mix all ingredients, add more mayo if you feel it's too dry for you, serve on toasted bread and add some lettuce and tomato, celery, carrot…whatever you have laying around..it's ok. Enjoy.

Modern Love…
Last week we took Melissa Clark's Appetite column out of my studio and to a dinner party. It deserves a night out once in a while. Melissa hosted a Modernist Cuisine inspired soiree and I was there to document all of the the mad scientist activities. Check out the article and the accompanying slide show of my shots.

Reclamation Recipes # 1 Odd's & End's Chicken Soup
One of the things that I often have to contend with in my kitchen, particularly after a shoot, is what to do with all of the leftovers and odds and ends in the fridge. I hate to waste food. In fact, it bothers me at a cellular level. I often feed my extended family, my neighbors, friends who have office jobs and their co-workers…basically whoever will take the food off my hands. Even with all of these outlets, I still end up with all manner of things in my fridge that need to be eaten or more often re-purposed. I realized lately that I have evolved into a different type of cook. One who more often than not reuses ingredients and makes things from the scraps. I'd like to think I'm like the artist who uses found objects to create rather than starting with fresh, new materials.
So, after a discussion with friend recently about how to re-incorporate recipes into this space…something that has been sorely lacking…I want to introduce a new recurring feature called…Reclamation Recipes. I will be posting recipes that I concoct out of what is in my fridge after a shoot. Should be fun.
RR# 1: Odd's & End's Chicken Soup
At the end of the week I always seem to be left with a mish-mash of things in the vegetable crisper…2 carrots, a leek, a couple of celery stalks…This time I also had a poached chicken breast and a handful of small Yukon gold potatoes. Realizing this stuff had about another day of life in the fridge before their replacements arrived from Fresh Direct for the next round of shooting, a chicken soup was in their future. Here is how I put it together but you can substitute, add or delete items based on what you have in your fridge. No protein? Vegetarian? Vegan? Add a can of beans instead of the chicken.
2 Tbs. Olive oil
1 large Onion, diced
2 large Carrots, diced
2 Celery Stalks, diced
1 large Leek, halved lengthwise then sliced thick
4 cloves of Garlic, smashed and peeled
6 small Yukon Gold potatoes
1 poached Chicken Breast, diced
Bouquet Garni of parmesan rind, thyme and parsley tied with string
1 Qt. of Chicken Stock
Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium high heat and add the onion, leek, carrot and celery. Saute, stirring occasionally for about 7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and add the garlic, salt and pepper. Saute for an additional minute.
Add the stock, the potatoes, chicken and the bouquet garni and bring to a boil. Lower heat to bring pot to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat for about an hour or until potatoes are starting to fall apart. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

"It's a blast," said photographer Donna Knaur. "You hear the traffic and the people talking, smell the smells coming from all the restaurants. You kick back and enjoy the music."
That's Knaur describing the feel of an outdoor First Friday, returning tomorrow, April 5. Williamsport's art market meets all-year-round but moves inside for the winter. The return of the outdoor element of First Fridays is a big deal, Knaur said.
"Indoor versus outdoors is a different atmosphere. Inside is great but outside is just fantastic," she said.

Beth Moser is seen with her work.
Donna Knaur will have artwork on display during First Friday.
Williamsport jeweler Beth Moser prefers outdoor First Fridays, too.
"I love the flow of energy moving through the street and among the artwork, the artists and the people," said Moser. "It's a great platform for artists to showcase their work and it brings the community together."
Outdoor First Fridays are much more relaxed than a stuffy gallery showing, Knaur said.
"It's like sitting on your porch in the sunshine and watching the world go by," she said.
Moser appreciates the open-air First Friday market for the freedom it gives her to represent herself as an artist directly to her customers.
"The person buying my artwork gets to meet me," Moser said. "I can explain how something was done or the inspiration behind a piece. That one-on-one contact is so valuable."
First Friday began 13 years ago when a small group of local artists brainstormed ways to bolster Williamsport's creative community. After paging through a brochure about Philadelphia's First Friday, the group decided to create one here.
"First Friday would not be possible without Bernie and Bonnie Katz," said Moser.
Bernie Katz is a member of the First Friday Committee and was president of the Merchant's Association when First Friday began. He and his wife Bonnie own Le Chocolat, a candy store in downtown Williamsport.
"Bernie and Bonnie are the glue that holds it all together," said Moser.
Before First Fridays, Williamsport artists had limited opportunities to connect with each other and showcase their work to the larger community.
"First Friday lets me meet other artists," Moser said. "I think artists are motivated by seeing the work of other artists and that positive reinforcement is why First Friday continues to grow."
Even if you're not an artist, First Friday is a great place to rub elbows with friends and neighbors.
"Bring your family down," said Moser. "It's not just about buying art but about the whole community coming out together."
"You might see somebody down there that you haven't seen in years," said Knaur.
Knaur likes to watch the First Friday crowd and the way people interact with each other. The energy of the event changes over the course of the evening.
"As the night goes on, the age group changes. The kids come out and have a good time enjoying their hometown. Then you have your college kids, the business and professional people," Knaur said.
The excitement will continue to build as the weather gets warmer.
"This First Friday coming up might be a little slow because the weather is still cool," Knaur said. "But don't let that deter you from coming back. You have to keep coming! It's always changing."
Moser agrees that First Friday is definitely worth attending.
"If you've never been, a First Friday is something you need to experience," Moser said.
First Friday has been steadily gaining in popularity since its inception over a decade ago. Even people from areas outside of Lycoming County are coming into Williamsport to enjoy the art.
"People are planning and looking forward to First Fridays now more than ever," said Moser. "Before, there was only a block or two of scattered artists. Now the spots fill up so quickly that you have to go early and register. There are tons of people walking around and parking can be a challenge."
The first outdoor First Friday of 2013 will be held tomorrow, April 5. Pine Street will be shut down from Fourth Street to Little League Boulevard so artists, musicians and vendors can set up their booths. Some local businesses will open their doors and feature artwork, too.

GEN News Highlights : Oct 2, 2009
Arginetix closed a $10.75 million Series A financing. The company is developing small molecule inhibitors of arginase for endothelial dysfunction including pulmonary arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, and asthma.
Arginetix will use the money to further discovery activities as well as pursue development of its arginase inhibitors for cardiovascular and pulmonary indications. The company's scientific foundation is based on licensed intellectual property from its scientific co-founders David Christianson, Ph.D., at the University of Pennsylvania, and Dan Berkowitz, M.D., at Johns Hopkins University.
Arginase is an enzyme that competes with endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) for the use of the common substrate L-arginine. Elevated arginase limits L-arginine available for eNOS, resulting in both a reduction in nitric oxide (NO) production (reducing signaling critical for normal function) as well as eNOS uncoupling, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Further, arginase also leads to the production of ornithine, which increases polyamine, stimulating cell division and contributing to hyperplasia and fibrosis. Together the decrease in NO, the increase in ROS and the increase in ornithine are major causes of endothelial dysfunction.
The financing was co-led by Quaker BioVentures and MedImmune Ventures, a wholly owned venture capital fund of the AstraZeneca Group. Maryland Health Care Product Development, Osage University Partners, Red Abbey Venture Partners, and company co-founder Acidophil also participated in the round.

The Seattle Seahawks recently put their newly acquired Wide Receiver Terrell Owens through some drills during Day 10 of Training Camp, and while the 38-year-old former All-Pro has certainly kept himself in tip-top shape, whether or not that will transfer into on-field stardom is yet to be determined. During this practice, T.O. was wearing a cleated version of the Air Jordan III, and with the Seahawks being Nike's 'guinea pig' for awesome new on-field designs, hopefully Terrell, a Jordan Brand athlete, will be seeded some team-specific Air Jordan Retro Player Exclusives throughout the season. Click below to see Terrell in action with his Jordans and let us know if you think he has what it takes to produce another All-Pro season.

they still wont win a ring with him
Dope. I saw this in person. Seattle might have a chance this yr if all the pieces fall in place. I don't see why we signed a bunch of old guys and let the youth go. Maybe P. Carroll has a plan I don't get?

"How do you do it?" yelled a fan after Richard Thompson unleashed yet another dazzlingly deft guitar solo on the audience of Tuesday's Keswick Theatre show.
"If I told you," Thompson quipped, "then you'd know."
In more worshipful times, Thompson would have been called a guitar god. His technique (which, he joked, he developed via a mail-order course called "1,000 Ways to Play") is both awe-inspiring and seemingly effortless, without an ounce of posturing or swagger. When he plays a solo, which he does often and at length, he keeps his head bowed, intent on moving the song forward rather than turning it into a platform for his prowess.

WASHINGTON - Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry rolled out his economic plan Tuesday aimed at creating jobs and fixing the struggling economy.
Speaking from a plastics manufacturer in the South Carolina Tuesday, the Texas governor said he'd give all Americans the option of throwing out the current tax code and replacing it with a 20 percent flat tax.
He called the proposal "Cut, Balance and Grow," adding that it "doesn't trim around the edges, and it doesn't bow down to the establishment."
Mortgage interest and charitable contributions would still be deductible in households making $500,000 or less.
Other deductions would be eliminated, and Americans who want to stay in the current tax system have the option to do so.
As president, Perry said he'd balance the federal budget in eight years and put an end to earmarks.
He suggested his plan would create nearly 3 million jobs by implementing a one-time rate of 5.25 percent on overseas profits from American businesses that want to repatriate.
"In other words, it's the kind of economic stimulus that President Obama could have achieved if he wasn't so bent on passing big government schemes that have failed American workers," Perry said.
Gov. Perry has had success raising money, but continues to lag in the polls.
Tuesday announcement came as he looked to re-energize his campaign after facing criticism for not having an economic plan.
On Social Security, Perry wants to work with Congress to raise the retirement age. Benefits of current retirees would be protected.
He said he'd lock up the Social Security trust fund to keep Congress from writing IOUs and allow young workers to invest a portion of their benefits.
"I happen to think it is time to end the nanny state and empower our people to exercise greater control over their money," Perry said.
The governor's embrace of the flat tax won him the endorsement of former presidential candidate Steve Forbes.
"To grow an economy you've got to have savings and investment. You've got to have capital formation," Americans for Prosperity founder Phil Kerpen said.
"So getting to a simple flat tax that eliminates federal taxation of savings and and investment, I think would be a great thing," he said.
"I think it would be rocket fuel for this economy," he added.
Perry's plan is up against Herman Cain "999" initiative, which has already captured a lot of attention.

Police catch car prowl suspects leaving Luther Burbank Park | Mercer Island Police Blotter
Two witnesses saw a car prowl occur in the south lot of Luther Burbank Park at 1:40 p.m. on Sunday, March 20. Police stopped the suspect vehicle as it was leaving the vicinity and arrested two of three suspects, Seattle men, ages 25 and 26. One suspect was arrested for unrelated charges, with counts of violating a court order related to harassment, and driving with a suspended license. The third suspect was a 29-year-old Seattle woman. Two purses and a pair of shoes were stolen out of the vehicle, a Ford Escape. The driver's window was destroyed, and police found a shard of glass in the sweatshirt of one suspect, in addition to a metal window punch tool in the suspect's pocket.

Businesses receive funding assistance for retention, creation of jobs: Awards
WILLMAR -- Nearly 70 small businesses in Minnesota have received more than $4.3 million in grants and loans from the Minnesota Chamber Foundation to assist in weathering the economic downturn.
Money for the assistance was provided by the Pohlad Family Foundation and administered through Grow Minnesota!, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce's private-sector initiative focusing on job retention and creation.
The Willmar Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce is a local partner in the Grow Minnesota! program.
Businesses that received assistance are located in 50 cities and employ more than a thousand Minnesotans. Jim Pohlad, foundation director, said the foundation welcomes the opportunity to be a partner with the Minnesota Chamber to help businesses "survive the storm'' and prepare for economic recovery.
"This money will help strengthen these companies and preserve essential jobs,'' said Pohlad.
The recipients were selected from among 765 businesses that requested $75.3 million in assistance. Most businesses sought grants to retain important employees. Local chamber of commerce partners and other private-sector economic development organizations participated in receiving and reviewing applications.
Businesses that were unsuccessful in the first round of funding may reapply for a second round, said Bill Blazar, Minnesota Chamber senior vice president of public affairs and development who directs Grow Minnesota! The application deadline is Sept. 8.
He said almost $1 million in low-interest loans will be available through a combination of money from the Pohlad Family Foundation and other sources including the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. Loans may be used for working capital or to acquire new assets or improve existing assets.
Applications are available at www.growminnesota.com.

CBNNews.com - According to the London-based Arabic newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi, Syrian troops are on high alert against an Israeli invasion.
Three Syrian armored divisions, nine infantry brigades and Special Forces have been deployed along the border with Lebanon's Bekaa valley.
According to the paper, Syrian officials believe remarks by senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials and statements in the Israeli media indicate that Israel is preparing for war.
In response, Syria is conducting military maneuvers at the border, calling up reservists and warning its citizens to prepare for war.
This weekend, Syria's interior ministry will announce the results of an investigation into the assassination of arch-terrorist Imad Mugniyeh, killed by a car bomb in an upscale neighborhood of Beirut, on February 12.
The report is expected to concur with accusations by Hezbollah spiritual leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, claiming Mossad (Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations) agents targeted Mugniyeh.
The article stated that Hezbollah has refrained from revenge attacks to avoid giving Israel an excuse to attack them, but others believe the pinpoint assassination frightened them.
The same fear prompted leaders of Palestinian terror groups in the Gaza Strip and West Bank (Judea and Samaria) to exercise caution in their day-to-day activities.
"If Israel managed to get to Mughniyeh, leaders of Islamic Jihad, Hamas and others will be an easy target," one official said.
Meanwhile, in a briefing Tuesday to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Israeli intelligence officials said Hezbollah may engage a third-party to strike Israel.
"We clearly identify a great deal of activity among Hezbollah. It is growing stronger on all levels, improving its systems, its units and is receiving a great deal of weapons and missiles for medium and long distances," intelligence officials told committee members.
"Hezbollah is readying itself for an escalation that may break out in the north as a result of an operation against Israel. We are not discounting any possibility. There are assessments that they may carry out an operation in the north through another organization," the officials said.
"Hezbollah is operating in southern Lebanon, mostly in villages, in secret and in civilian garb," said the officials.
On Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Harel and GOC Northern Commander Major General Gadi Eisenkut toured the northern border.
"We are looking at this calm and quiet view, but we know that underground there is a great deal of activity," Barak said.
"Hezbollah is growing more powerful, but so are we, and we are following developments," the defense minister said.
"Meanwhile, Hezbollah is deterred, but we are on guard. There is daily activity of combat troops, and we are learning the lessons of the last war. Israel is the strongest country in the region, and I would not recommend that any one from the other side of the border test us," Barak said.

In a development that could have a major impact on the South Jersey basketball scene over the next two seasons, a 6-foot-10 transfer student from Nigeria has enrolled at Camden Catholic High School.
Demola Onifade, 16, is a sophomore at Camden Catholic. He is living at the school's Nazareth House, an on-campus residence that is home to approximately 35 international students.
Onifade's trip to this country was arranged by officials with YIS Team Speed, an AAU program that features several top South Jersey players. Onifade arrived from Lagos, Nigeria, on Wednesday.
Team Speed coach Rob DePersia, a local attorney whose twin sons, Rob and Nick, are sophomores at Haddonfield, said Onifade could develop into one of the best high school players in the nation once he gets acclimated to this country and improves his strength and conditioning.

'We don't mind you shutting down'
As Congress plays games, taxpayers get a break from big spending
As Congress plays games, taxpayers get a break from big spending
While Republicans threaten a government shutdown over a fight with Democrats on offshore drilling, the Libertarian Party says such a dramatic step wouldn't be so bad.
"We don't mind Congress shutting down," says Andrew Davis, spokesperson for the Libertarian Party. "At least taxpayers will get a break from Congress' spending spree. Anything that government does to decrease how active it is in passing new laws and spending taxpayer money is something the Libertarian Party fully supports."
According to an article in today's Washington Times, Republicans have threatened to vote against passing a resolution that will fund the government—something Davis says "would be like an early Christmas for taxpayers."
"When government shuts down, taxpayers win," says Davis. "Whatever we can do to delay the half-trillion dollar budget is a fantastic thing."
The Libertarian Party is America's third largest political party, founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political parties. You can find more information on the Libertarian Party by visiting www.LP.org. The Libertarian Party proudly stands for smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom.
For more information on this issue, or to arrange a media interview, please call Andrew Davis at (202) 731-0002.

Missy Elliott: "I Have A Thyroid Disease"
Hip-hop star Missy Elliott disclosed a few years ago that she has Graves disease, an incurable autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid.

After keeping her condition private for years, the 'Work It' singer confessed to the world that she was originally diagnosed with the disease in 2008, undergoing treatment after a sudden loss of muscle control.
"I was driving and trying to put my foot on the brake, but my leg was jumping. I couldn't keep the brake down and almost crashed," Missy says. "I couldn't write because my nervous system was so bad — I couldn't even use a pen."

One afternoon early last week, I made a trip to Canoe Creek State Park, armed with binoculars and my camera, where I hoped to enjoy a beautiful spring afternoon and do some wildlife watching.
I probably visit Canoe Creek at least once a week for that purpose almost every month of the year, mostly because the park is so close to home for me and the remarkable diversity of habitat it comprises. You just never know what you might see there on any given day.
During March, the lake is a regular stopover for many species of ducks and other waterfowl migrating north to their summer breeding grounds. Shortly after the first open water appeared there a couple of weeks ago, so did a flock of hooded mergansers. Several times, I tried without success to get close enough to get a good shot of these handsome ducks, but the wary birds persisted at staying out of camera range. I had better luck with a group of more than three dozen redheads that put on quite a show one windy afternoon as those ducks feasted on submerged vegetation near the spillway area of the lake.
Article Photos
Last week, I had just turned onto the gravel road that leads to the spillway when I saw a ring-necked pheasant strut across the road not more than 20 yards in front of me. Following close behind that showy male bird was a hen pheasant. I scrambled to unzip my camera bag but figured the pheasants would be gone before I was able to mount a telephoto lens.
To my surprise, the pair lingered in some weeds and brush near the road, seemingly not all that alarmed by my presence. I slid out of the vehicle as quietly as possible and stalked my way toward the pheasants, knowing at best I would probably get a few clicks at them before the birds took off. Again, I was surprised how close they allowed me to approach.
The hen, with the aid of her natural camouflage, quickly melted away into some nearby cover, and I never saw her again. But the cock bird with its brilliant, multicolor plumage was a little easier to track, and I was able to click off a few shots before it squatted in some thick weeds, its presence betrayed only by bit of the stark white neckband and deep red facial wattles showing through a small opening in the grass.
Experience has taught me a few solid rules for photographing wildlife. One is to stay with a subject because you never know when it will do something special. Another is that in photography as in so many endeavors, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Both of those axioms came into play seconds later.
Figuring the ringneck wouldn't stay crouched in those weeds for long, I froze in position and kept the camera pointed at the hidden bird, hoping for at least one clear shot when it finally decided to make its escape. At some point, that rooster must have realized his lady friend had slipped away, so instead of merely slinking away too, it emerged from the weeds, stretched its neck straight up and crowed twice while beating its wings almost like a drumming grouse. I'm pretty sure he wasn't putting on such a show for my benefit.
The whole performance probably only lasted two or three seconds, but fortunately, I had the camera focused right on him at the time, so all I had to do was hold down the shutter button. Hearing the raucous "cawk, cawk" of a male ring-necked pheasant is one of my favorite sounds in the outdoors, so seeing part of its courtship ritual so close was a thrill in itself. But being able to capture the moment in a sequence of wonderful images will preserve that memory forever.
Wildlife viewing opportunities are everywhere this time of year, so if you enjoy nature, make it a point to get out and witness some of them yourself. You'll never see a better show, and the price of admission is free.

obama's qualifications for POTUS:
No executive experience,
No military experience,
No healthcare experience,
No economic experience,
No foreign policy experience,
No foreign trade experience,
No financial experience,
No business experience
Trump on the other hand has employed tens of thousands abd understands the healthcare issues firsthand. He has even developed a maternity leave platform (with help from Ivanka).
Trump is the only one who has any experience in international trade. He is the only one who understands the impact of our tax laws and government regulation on companies and jobs.
Trump has made a fortune turning around failed companies. He's worked complicated deals all over the world, negotiating with governments, labor unions, and international financiers. Even more importantly IMO is his understanding of the dangers of our open borders and the potentially life threatening seeding of unvetted muslims into unsuspecting communities throughout the country. Our country is on the brink, hopefully people will proudly step up in November to support Trump and our future.
Wake up America!!

I think that custom avatars are a Subscriber privilege only, and I have the idea that pics are mostly frowned upon because they make the forum so slow to load for some people. Pics can be linked to from a flickr or photobucket account, and Subscribers can add attachments to their posts.
Subscription really isn't that expensive, particularly for US citizens, and it does help to keep this wonderful community going. I would pay a lot more to be a Sub if I had to, and donate Subscriptions when I can.

Gaia Community Table garden
The Gaia Movement was a fortunate recipient of the Sow it Forward Grant for 2014, and we have been busy ever since! The Community Table Garden, which the Sow It Forward Grant funded, has been able to provide organic, healthy food for the local Mid South Food Bank and Soup Kitchens here in Memphis throughout the year, directly reinforcing our motivation – that everyone, regardless of financial status, should have access to healthy food without a high price tag. Our Community Table Garden has been wonderfully supported by the community, and we have received countless accolades and media coverage with a positive response to our project. Now, to GROW, GROW, GROW!
Gaia Memphis, the local Chapter where our Community Table Garden is located, has been hard at work in the Garden! The vacant lot where the garden now exists has been transformed from an overgrown neighborhood eyesore into a space of pride. The Community Table Garden consists of 11 raised cinder block beds. We have 3 rain barrels connected to a generous neighbor's gutters that have watered our garden all year. We have grown Zucchini, Beets, Lettuce, Cucumbers, three varieties of Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Green Beans, Carrots, Cantaloupe, Basil, Parsley, Cucumbers, Cabbage, Peas, and Radishes! We combined gardening methods like companion planting and hugelkultur, using old wood pieces in the bottom of the garden beds for moisture retention, and planting different species together, such as tomatoes, basil, and carrots, and marigolds all in one bed. We had almost no pest/bug infestations, and all of our plants have been very successful and productive. Most importantly, we have been able to make biweekly drop-offs to the Food Bank, providing over 1,000 lbs of fresh, clean, healthy produce to Memphians that otherwise may not have access to such foods!
About us:
KGI is a nonprofit community of over 30,000 people who are growing some of our own food and helping others to do the same.

Jonny Greenwood has won another award for the 'There Will Be Blood' soundtrack at the Evening Standard Film Awards.
The succes of the film came unexpected for Jonny: "It's quite a surprise, cause it's a very tough film… in a good way". Although he was not too dissapointed about missing out on the Acadamy Awards: "It's funny. As you get temped by that kind of thing, you start thinking they're important. Two months ago you didn't care at all. It's interesting, they suck you in a little bit, but I'm happy the film is being recognised. And I'm happy Paul Thomas Anderson trusted me to put noise all over his film."
He didn't plan on going to the Evening Standard Film awards ceremony, but changed his mind when Thom Yorke called him a coward: "We tend to avoid these things as Radiohead, but Thom made me come. As soon as he said he would, I thought it would be fun to go."
Thom Yorke told BBC Radio 1: "We watched the film last night and I was really proud. The weirdest thing was I recognised loads of the melodies because I have heard him play them on the piano. I was hoping to nick a couple of them but unfortunately they are on the film!"
There are no other soundtracks planned: "This year is all about Radiohead and a baby," Jonny said. Therefore he will not be attending the Bafta Awards for which his score is nominated, because Jonny is likely to father another child on the date of the ceremony: "I might need to be closer to her than the awards ceremony."

CLEARWATER — When an educational zip line course was proposed last year for the tree canopy of Sand Key Park, neighbors in the island's high-rise condominiums were outraged.
They said the zip line course, which required no substantial construction, would be an "environmental catastrophe." They accused Pinellas County of "prostituting" its gulf-front park.
Some worried visiting children would drop potato chips, attracting rats; others said baby birds would fly into the zip line. When the developer dropped the plan, neighbors celebrated "preserving the park."
Though they fended off the zip line course, they apparently missed a recent development: a plan to build a $250,000 headquarters for the Clearwater chapter of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 11-1 on one-quarter of an acre of Sand Key Park.
Last week the County Commission declared the land surplus and approved a lease with the flotilla.
The 1,200-square-foot headquarters will host boating classes, allow 24/7 access to the gulf for rapid search-and-rescue response, and "provide a highly visible presence" for the Coast Guard Auxiliary's volunteers.
The flotilla will pay $1 a year for the land, much less than the estimated $400,000 the zip line operator would have paid the county over three years.
Yet neighbors haven't criticized the construction project.
The zip line "would have invited as many people as could come. Those people were going to bring popcorn and hot dogs and whatever people bring, and some of that stuff would wind up feeding the rats," Sand Key Civic Association president Dick Jackson said.
The headquarters building "is going to be nonintrusive, and it won't ruin anyone's enjoyment," Jackson said. "The zip line course would have in about 800 ways."
The headquarters, renderings show, would resemble an elevated portable classroom, with a large wooden walkway, sewage and power hookups, and two 50-foot radio antennae. No environmental damage is expected from construction, save for the removal of a few invasive Australian pines.
Peter Ubillos, a flotilla staff officer, said the headquarters will be tucked away in an eastern corner of the park along Clearwater Pass. Its classes on marine safety and seamanship will likely attract fewer people than the zip line course.
The flotilla once held its classes at the nearby Clearwater Community Sailing Center before shifting to a local police station, Ubillos said. With the new facility on the waterfront, boats can be launched more quickly into the gulf.
Flotilla 11-1 has about 75 retired and civilian boaters and pilots who assist the Coast Guard. It has helped with two dozen search-and-rescue operations and flown more than 375 sorties with members' private planes.
Zip line course supporters, including county parks officials and local business owners, criticized last year's uproar over the course as NIMBY-ism masked as an environmental crusade. At an island town hall meeting, one resident drew a line in the sand, saying the island should have "no commercial activity except the shops that we need and the two hotels."
Some critics said the condo residents of Sand Key — one of Clearwater's monied enclaves and well-known among city leaders for mobilizing against perceived threats — were more interested in fending off tourists and visitors to what many on Sand Key regard as their neighborhood park.
Summer is a slow time for the snowbird-dense Sand Key, and several vocal Sand Key leaders said this week that they had little knowledge of the flotilla's plans. But with the lease approved, the flotilla has few remaining hoops to clear before construction begins.
When Sand Key leaders learned of the flotilla's plans, "they said we can live with the auxiliary building," said Paul Cozzie, the county's director of parks and conservation resources. "But no zip line."

After remaining below 7 percent for the past three months, unemployment rates in Santa Clarita rose half a percent in July compared to June numbers, according to figures released Friday.
Santa Clarita's unemployment rate in July was reported at 7.3 percent, according to figures released Friday by the Employment Development Department. The city's unemployment rate had been 6.8 percent since April.
Still, the unemployment rate for July was nearly a full percent lower than in July 2011, when it stood at 8.2 percent. According to historical data from the Employment Development Department, Santa Clarita often sees its highest unemployment rates of the year in July.
"July historically trends higher unemployment," said Jason Crawford, marketing and economic development manager for Santa Clarita. "There's a lot of reasons, but some of the reasons that July numbers are traditionally higher are because of teachers not working during the summer and the increase in college graduates entering the work force."
While the numbers in the city are down from last year, Crawford said the number of residents still looking for work is a problem.
"The good news for us is that our July numbers are down a full percent from last year," Crawford said. "The bad news is that there are 6,000 residents who are looking for work who are unemployed."
Unemployment rates in Los Angeles County also rose, hitting 11.9 percent. That's up from 11.1 percent in June, state officials said.
California's jobless rate remained unchanged at 10.7 percent in July as the state saw slow employment growth, adding a little more than 25,000 jobs.
The figure released Friday by the state Employment Development Department is an improvement over California's 11.9 percent unemployment rate a year ago but also is a sign of the state's slow recovery. The national unemployment rate was 8.3 percent in July.
Job seekers in Santa Clarita have resources, including the WorkSource Center at College of the Canyons, which is a partnership between the city, College of the Canyons and others. The center works to connect employers and employees and helps job-seekers find work.
"We're trying to get job seekers solution-focused and trying to get them job-ready," said Keri Aaver, interim director for the WorkSource Center.
Many of the jobs in Santa Clarita are aerospace- or manufacturing-based. Many of the people who work in those fields may have given up in the field when companies weren't hiring, Aaver said.
She urged job-seekers to come to the WorkSource Center to find solutions, including workshops that help with resume-building, interview skills and second-chance workshops for convicted felons.
A Canyon Country man who has a full-time job was looking for employment at the WorkSource Center Friday, saying he wanted another part-time job in the Santa Clarita Valley. He's managed to find a job in the San Fernando Valley but would rather work closer to home since gas is expensive.
"I've just started looking, so hopefully something comes up here so I don't have to commute to the (San Fernando) Valley," said Greg Laford.
One Newhall woman said she's been unemployed since being laid off from the film industry in January said the WorkSource Center has done a lot to help her in her career. Stacy Robertson is looking at changing her field to medical assistance such as a job in billing, coding or patient records.
"My job right now is find a job," Robertson said as she applied for jobs at the WorkSource Center Friday.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Impetuous Youngsters and Jaded Old-Timers: Acquiring a Reputation for Learning
Canice Prendergast
University of Chicago - Booth School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
Lars Stole
University of Chicago - Booth School of Business
JOURNAL OF POLITICAL ECONOMY, Vol. 104, No. 6, December 1996
This paper examines individual decision making when decisions reflect on people's ability to learn. We address this problem in the context of a manager making investment decisions on a project over time. We show that in an effort to appear as a fast learner, the manager will exaggerate his own information; but ultimately, he becomes too conservative, being unwilling to change his investments on the basis of new information. Our results arise purely from learning about competence rather than concavity or convexity of the rewards functions. We relate our results to the existing psychology literature concerning cognitive dissonance reduction.

Rubin "Hurricane'' Carter, the former American boxer who became a tireless campaigner for the wrongfully convicted after spending almost 20 years in jail for a triple murder he denied committing, has died at his home in Toronto.
He was 76.
His long-time friend and co-accused, John Artis, said Carter died in his sleep early Sunday morning after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer.
"It's a big loss to those who are in institutions that have been wrongfully convicted," said Artis.
"He dedicated the remainder of his life, once we were released from prison, to fighting for the cause of those who have been wrongfully convicted."
Artis quit his job state side and moved to Toronto to act as Carter's caregiver after his friend was diagnosed with cancer nearly three years ago.
During the final few months, as Carter's health took a turn for the worse, Artis said the man who was immortalized in a Bob Dylan song had come to grips with the fact that he was dying.
"He tried to accomplish as much as he possibly could prior to his passing," Artis said of the man who founded the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted.
"He didn't express very much about his legacy. That'll be established for itself through the results of his work. That's primarily what he was concerned about — his work," Artis said.
"He was a very selfless person," Artis added.
Artis, who had known Carter for 48 years, said Carter's family members — including two daughters — are all in the United States.
He said Carter's personal artifacts, including his writings and photos, are being donated to a Boston university.
Carter was convicted along with Artis of murdering three people in a New Jersey bar in 1966.
Their convictions were overturned in 1975, but both were found guilty a second time in 1976.
After serving 19 years, Carter was freed in 1985 when a federal judge overturned the second convictions.

Can I ask where you got the shotty?
March 22, 2012, 11:06 PM
the shotgun is the M26 MASS. It will attach to the botton of the M4 Rifle to help with breeching so that the Soldier doesn't need to carry an extra weapon. The "muzzle break" extends 3-4" so that you can jam it into a door or hinge and the gasses won't blow back into your face. The picture you see is it in it's stand-a-lone "mode" the stock and pistol grip can be removed for mounting. It is also a pump action with the charging hand on the left side with can be switched to the right side for you lefty's out there.

March 27, 2012, 08:53 AM
Where do I get the M26 MASS ? That thing looks awesome !
That's quite the grip angle thing it has.
Chemistry Guy
March 27, 2012, 04:56 PM
This might be a dumb question:
When the M26 MASS is mounted, is the trigger pulled by gripping your magazine and extending your index finger into the trigger guard? I am just trying to imagine the ergonomics and I can't wrap my mind around it.
March 28, 2012, 06:37 AM
Chemistry Guy,
Yes using your non firing hand placed on the M4 Magwell, also keep in mind the MASS is a pump style action so you have to charge it after you fire everytime. There is also a Pistol grip being designed for stand alone mode which makes the shotgun more compact.
March 28, 2012, 12:29 PM
The picture of the shotgun doesn't seem to match the description. It has a separate stock and flip up sights. Are you saying you would remove this stuff first, before attaching it to an M4? And the muzzle brake doesn't have any "teeth" so how does it go into the door frame? I'm confused.
Brian Williams
March 28, 2012, 01:49 PM
The stock and other attachments are removable and it can mount under an AR setup for a M203 launcher. The muzzle device is another option, this is one of the one for a standalone use.
March 28, 2012, 02:50 PM
the muzzle does have little teeth to it nothing crazy. Twist and pull the muzzle out and lock it into place and you got another 4" or so.

Tröegs Scratch 40
RATINGS: 39 MEAN: 3.53/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.43/5 SEASONAL: Series IBU: 40 EST. CALORIES: 243 ABV: 8.1%
For the end of this four-beer IPA series, we pulled out some hop warhorsesCascade and Amarilloand incorporated a new favoriteCitrainto the mix. Following a similar grain bill to Scratch #38 and #39, #40 is a hazy orange beer with an off-white head, and plenty of hops to spare. In fact, this could be a Troegs record as more than three pounds of hops
Bready Munich malts and ample dry-hopping with Citra and Cascade hops gives #40 a sweet and tropical citrus aroma, akin to a hoppy Orange Julius, while a huge Amarillo hop addition in the kettle provides a long, lingering bitterness.
This cycle of uber-hoppy beers has been a blast for us to brew and drink, and gives us plenty of beer for thought as we devise future hoppy concoctions.

Is this a deal I shouldnt pass up? I ask because I am currently deployed and more than likely wont be able to use it until next year about this time. No idea what prices will be in the future so figured I would ask the people on this site since everyone seems to be pretty helpful here.

This little conure, named Starburst, sees the conure in the mirror, and immediately turns his head toward it. And it made me curious? Did he want the other conure to preen him? Did he like how the mirror felt against his feathers? Did he like the sound his beak makes against the mirror?
