Singer and songwriter Nathan Tasker is busily promoting the release of his new album, "Home."
Tasker, the latest Australian artist to import his talent to the United States, was named among 2011's "New Artists to Watch" by Gospel Music Channel's www.watchgmctv.com. The Australian native recently signed an exclusive recording agreement with Entertainment One, something he called a "blessing."
"It's a blessing to find a label home that's so supportive of the vision I have for my music," he said. "I am confident this new relationship will allow me to share the music and mission God has placed on my heart with a new audience in the U.S., as well as abroad."
"Home" is slated to be released in May.
Tasker talked more about his new album on the CBN News Channel's Midday News, April 19.

Chickpea Rice Soup With Cabbage
by IsaChandra
Serves 8
Active time: 15 minutes || Total time: 40 minutes
There's something seductively subtle about Eastern European flavors. No one is going to knock you over your head with cumin or turn the garlic up to 11. Instead, here's some sauteed onion, and a little dill. I think of these sorts of brothy soups as babushka soups, grandma soups. You should be able to experience each ingredient; the sweet earthiness of the carrot, the toothsome bites of cabbage, the succulence of the chickpea, the substance of the rice. Simple, comforting flavors that are easy to love.
I like to use homemade broth here, but if you have a broth you really love then go ahead and use it, I can't stop you. I also dig the floral notes from jasmine or basmati rice, but you can use whatever rice you like. Just remember that brown rice has a longer cooking time. I also love the ease and the look or baby carrots, I just leave them whole if they are small enough, or slice fatter ones lengthwise on a diagonal.
Olive oil (1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons, however much you want to use)
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dry thyme
1 teaspoon salt
Fresh black pepper
1/2 cup jasmine rice, rinsed
1/2 lb baby carrots (see comment above)
1 lb cabbage, shredded (about 1/4 of a big head)
6 cups broth
1 24 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (about 3 cups)
3 tablespoons fresh chopped dill, plus extra for garnish
Preheat a stock pot over medium heat. Saute onion in olive oil with a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Add garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and saute a minute more.
Add rice, carrots and cabbage and then pour in the broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, bring down to a simmer, add the chickpeas, and let cook for about 15 more minutes, until rice is cooked and carrot is tender.
Stir in the dill and season with salt and pepper to taste. This definitely tastes better the longer you let it sit, but it can be enjoyed right away, too. Top with extra fresh dill.
There's a problem!

Yum..this looks like my kind of soup. Healthy and hearty. Thank you.
December 20, 2010 at 9:02 pm: Addicted to Veggies
umm…In my mouth now please!
It's so lovely – and very inspiring too.
December 20, 2010 at 9:17 pm: MyWholeDeal
oooh, This would work crazy fast in the pressure cooker. I going to try it…NOW!
December 20, 2010 at 10:17 pm: virtual.jess
The house where I am currently kitty-sitting has those exact same bowls. These cats dine in style.
This recipe looks perfect for this weather, and so cheap, which is necessary. Thanks for sharing!
December 20, 2010 at 10:29 pm: Melomeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day
I love those bowls… they look like they were made for the soup.
Great, simple , comforting soup. I love using cabbage in soup.
December 21, 2010 at 10:00 am: josjosjosjos
Made this tonight… delicious! Really flavorful and satisfying. I doubled the recipe, as for some reason it didn't seem like the recipe would make much. Ha! I've got so much soup now! Good thing it's so tasty.
December 21, 2010 at 5:34 pm: Stephanie Quilao
I could use a bowl of that soup right now :-)
December 22, 2010 at 1:59 am: Zoey
I made this for dinner tonight and it is sooooo good! Thank you!
December 22, 2010 at 5:58 pm: Kelly
I made this for dinner last night-my hubby doesn't like cabbage, so I used mushrooms and a little extra dill because I LOVE fresh dill and is was AWESOME! Thanks for posting this one!
December 23, 2010 at 6:31 am: Yodacho
Made this tonight – tasty good! Looking forward to the leftovers
December 23, 2010 at 7:15 pm: K
Oh so amazing! I was out of thyme so I used a lil tarragon and oregano. Yummm!!!
December 24, 2010 at 4:42 am: sara
Love this… made it twice this week.. so freaking good!
December 25, 2010 at 2:09 am: Christopher
Made this for a Christmas Eve dinner treat, and it was fantabulously good. Just very simple, savory and comforting soup for a snowy winter night. Next time I'm making a double batch!
December 25, 2010 at 5:43 am: maddy
Delish! Just right! Perfect Jewish grrl's Christmas eve dinner!
December 26, 2010 at 7:55 pm: braelin
Yum- made this for the weekend. Mellow flavor with a light dilly taste. I squeezed fresh lemon juice into each bowl before serving- really heightened the flavors. I also added nooch to enhance the broth flavor.
December 28, 2010 at 3:50 am: Terry
Lots of fresh black pepper + more cabbage = lottsa love.
December 28, 2010 at 5:13 pm: Laura in Taos
So easy – my husband made this for me and was ready by the time I got home from work. A husband-proof recipe *and* delicious! What more can you want?
December 28, 2010 at 7:21 pm: Jenn
I have your Veganomicon book and I just wanted to tell you how much I love it. The recipes are kid and time-friendly which works great for me… Thank you for your diligence and for putting the work into creating a product that is by far the best vegan cookbook out there (this is the only book I have of yours – for now! – but, I seriously have 10 vegan/GF cookbooks and since I bought yours, I don't touch the others.)
December 28, 2010 at 10:39 pm: IsaChandra
Well thank you very much!
December 30, 2010 at 1:13 am: Keturah
I just made this soup and it came out sooooo yummy! I'm topped it with some cilantro & a squeeze of lemon juice.
January 1, 2011 at 5:27 am: frankie marie
Made this recipe today before work, and boy was it de-li-cious :) Thank you very much! I added too much rice so now it's more of a "stew" but yummy just the same!
January 4, 2011 at 12:13 am: CherylK
There's nothing better than a steaming bowl of soup on a cold, snowy day. I could eat soup every day of the long winter season here in Minnesota. This recipe looks just perfect and the best part is that just about everything in it is probably in everyone's pantry or fridge!
I've just discovered your blog but I've been a fan ever since I bought your cookbook Vegan Brunch!
January 6, 2011 at 4:31 pm: Rachel
This is a yummy, cheap, userfriendly dish that is perfect for winter nights. That said, it may be a little salty if you're sensitive to salt.
I made this dish for big group of friends, and while most people loved it, I and one other guest found it was more salty than we like (and I made it with dried chickpeas with no salt added). I will definitely make the dish again, but next time will omit the 2 tsps of salt and add salt to taste instead and use a low sodium broth.
January 6, 2011 at 4:33 pm: Rachel
Just fyi, I used 2 tsps, because I doubled the recipe :)
January 6, 2011 at 8:37 pm: IsaChandra
Oh yes, always use less salt when doubling stews. I guess because of the liquid cooking down and concentrating?
January 6, 2011 at 11:02 pm: Rachel
Thank you! I didn't know that, but will definitely do that going forward.
January 6, 2011 at 11:47 pm: Frankie Marie
This soup is so friggen good, that I'm making more tonight!!! YAY!
January 10, 2011 at 12:33 pm: Yvonne Dale
looks yummy I want to make this and indulge thanks :)
January 12, 2011 at 3:44 am: Carol
planning on making this soup. can you use dried dill instead of fresh? if so, how much? thanks!
January 12, 2011 at 4:48 pm: IsaChandra
Yeah, you can use dried. The taste won't be all fresh (obviously) but start with 2 teaspoons and see from there.
January 13, 2011 at 1:26 am: Amnah
I made this tonight and wasn't really sure what to expect. I totally love it. I gave my little girls (4 and 1) a taste and they wanted to eat it immediately. Unfortunately I didn't have any dill so I can only imagine how much better it would have tasted. I can't wait until my husband comes home to try it. He loves cabbage. Thank you for such a wonderfully simple and tasty recipe.
January 14, 2011 at 4:34 pm: Annie
Oh my goodness, I wish I had a cup of this right now. Definitely going on my winter cooking list!
January 17, 2011 at 8:33 am: Kristen
I made this when I had family in town for the Holidays, and it was a huge hit! And I swear it got better over the next couple of days. Thank you so much for sharing it. This is definitely going in my 'to make over and over' pile.
January 17, 2011 at 2:57 pm: Ceryn
Hi Isa: Just want to tell you I got "Appetite for Reduction" for Christmas. I love it. This soup sounds good and very grasnmotherly. It is now minus 17 degrees Centigrade in Southern Ontario. This soup is definetly on the menu today.
I'm an evolving vegan. Decision made June 2010. Had spme slips but slowly feeling better. Next the weight loss. I enjoy learning about veganism, your new book is certainly going to help.
January 22, 2011 at 2:10 pm: Beth
After realizing I had every single ingredient in my pantry I tried this out last night. It was absolutely wonderful! Next time I will have to double the recipe so I'll have some leftover! Perfect winter time soup to make in a pinch.
January 25, 2011 at 1:54 am: Liz
I think I added a few too many veggies so it came out as more of a stew, but this recipe was still soo tasty. Definitely a go-to if you're in the mood for something homey that will warm you right up.
February 2, 2011 at 3:27 am: Steampunk Alchemist
This is delicious! I made this for dinner tonight and served it with lemon juice and fresh cracked pepper on the side (the extra zip from a dash of lemon makes it even more perfect and adds to the Eastern European flavour). The jasmine rice was replaced with already cooked brown for extra convenience and a whole grain boost. I will definitely be making this again!
February 14, 2011 at 4:00 pm: Sarita
Absolutely delicious! Fresh dill is a must! For the broth, I used 6 cups of water and 2 cubes of Rapunzel organic vegetable bouillon with sea salt and herbs, and salted to taste. Reminded me of matzo ball soup (dill and carrots).
February 26, 2011 at 8:34 pm: Alicia
Made this soup today and love it! Really reminds me of the type of soup you get in Poland. Thank you!
March 17, 2011 at 6:32 pm: Amy
Very yummy. We love this soup and it is sitting on my counter in the crockpot right now. I use brown jasmine rice and I keep everything on hand anyway except the fresh dill. One of my many favs.
March 20, 2011 at 7:17 pm: ellen
I made the rice separate, as I always get a mushfest with rice in soup, and added potatoes. Lovely!
April 1, 2011 at 4:25 pm: Sophia
I made this using water instead of broth (because I didn't have any broth) and without using oil (for religious fasting reasons). I also cut the amount of thyme in half and used generous amounts of dried dill instead of fresh dill. Even with all those changes, it is just fantastic!
April 29, 2011 at 6:02 pm: Stephanie
Last week I had some extra dill from making matzoh ball soup (VWAV) and luckily found this recipe. It was so good – I couldn't stop eating it. Mine turned out kind of like stew after it sat for a little while but I think that's because I stirred too much after adding the jasmine rice. I find that when I stir jasmine rice more than once it gets mushy on me. Also, the soup is just as amazing without the dill. I tasted the soup when it was almost done and it was so good I would have forgot to add the dill if it wasn't already sitting on the cutting board.
November 17, 2011 at 6:13 pm: Ivy
I just made this for lunch and am eating it right now, lol. And I got to say this is the BOMB! SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!! Thank you!!
December 29, 2011 at 12:30 am: Leenie
So, I decided to get serious about eating vegan, and purchased 2 of Isa's cookbooks on Amazon because of the great reviews. I couldn't wait til they were delivered so stopped by this website and picked 2 recipes at random to try. This soup was the first (perfect for a chilly Winter's night) and also made the Quinoa Salad with Black Beans and Mangos. OMG, Isa, you are one talented and creative chef. These dishes were both amazingly fantastically scrumptious. And since I chose these randomly I am certain the others will be just as excellent. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
March 14, 2012 at 4:57 pm: ula
It's delicious! It reminds me of soups that my Polish grandma made: Put everything you have in the fridge to a pot, boil, add some spices and.. dinner's ready – and super tasty! Thanks for the recipe!
August 29, 2012 at 4:57 pm: Annette
One of the best soups I'he ever made
September 21, 2012 at 7:19 pm: buylocal
Baby carrots are not your friend. Buy carrots from your local farmer and cut them yourself. lazy.
October 16, 2012 at 8:24 pm: Elisa
One of my clients just tried this and LOVED it! Thanks for posting such delicious and informative recipes!
November 14, 2012 at 6:01 am: Alejandra
Great, simple, cheap and DELICIOUS recipe! it turned out funny looking because I only had red cabbage and the whole broth and rice turned purple. Loved it, Thank you genius lady!
November 25, 2012 at 3:26 am: Karen Todd
I made this as an antedote to the Thanksgiving rich food leftovers and because it has turned seriously cold in Tennessee. This was perfect. I couldn't find fresh dill (even at Whole Foods) so I used dried.
December 15, 2012 at 2:45 am: Vegan Vampire
We made this soup today and it was wonderful. It helped lift our spirits as our hearts wept for the lost souls at Sandy Hook Elementary School today.
December 31, 2012 at 12:41 am: Rae
Just ate for dinner – DELICIOUS!
January 29, 2013 at 2:09 am: katy
i want those bowls!!!
March 3, 2013 at 10:57 pm: JT
This is my favourite go to stew. I add some curry powder for extra richness. It was one of the first vegan dishes I made. Lately I've been experimenting with new recipes, they haven't turned out as satisfying as the pictures on the websites … back to the basics – this stew!
March 30, 2013 at 5:23 am: Rebecca C.
do you think this would be good with quinoa or couscous in place of the rice?
July 26, 2013 at 5:48 am: Angelalala
This is my favorite soup ever!
September 23, 2013 at 3:02 pm: Rayne
This looks beyond delicious. I think I'll make it this weekend!
October 8, 2013 at 12:49 am: Bob
This soup was the best very filling ,very tasty this soup dish goes with every meal
December 12, 2013 at 10:47 am: Kropotkin's Treefungus
I made it, I tasted it, I melted
January 28, 2014 at 9:58 pm: Tracy
I can't keep my fork out of this soup pot! The dill just gives it this extra interesting twist that I keep coming back for. Mmmmmmmm. I'm part if a dinner club where once a week I cook for three families including my own (and two days I don't cook, but food magically appears on my doorstep!) When I'm in a pinch for a recipe I always know I can come here and find one that will be yummy without fail! Thank you so much for doing what you do and sharing these amazing creations!!
July 26, 2014 at 1:14 pm: Ellis
Greetings from Australia! I think I could make a special trip to the US just to eat at your restaurant.
I have made this 6 times recently and I can't seem to get enough. It's like soup crack for my body.
August 27, 2014 at 12:24 am: Lisa
Made this soup today…delicious! Added 1 TBSP lemon juice after removing soup from heat. Also, I had only fine, dry dill on hand so I only added 1 tsp. Lastly, I used my hand held blender to puree some of the soup to make it more like a stew. Serving with a dense, whole wheat bread boule and a salad.!
November 9, 2014 at 3:40 pm: Sophie
This soup might be the ultimate comfort food. Warms my heart every single time.
February 2, 2015 at 9:22 pm: Manda
I love this soup as do my two boys age 2 and 6! I always add a couple cups extra of broth and extra dill, so good!
October 5, 2015 at 7:48 pm: Tiffany
Thank you so much, Isa! The soup was fantastic!
I made a few changes based on what I had on hand…
I used brown rice so I cooked the soup longer and added more water.
I didn't use vegetable broth. I never do in any recipe. I just use water – the soup was still very flavorful! I also add extra salt to taste.
I did not use baby carrots. I used 4 large carrots.
I also added in a diced red bell pepper in with the onions to add color.
I added in 3T of lemon juice at the end and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes.
I added in extra dill maybe an extra 2-3T.
I would say the soup serves 5-6 people.
December 3, 2015 at 7:28 pm: Rose-Lynne McDougall
Fantastic, cant't wait to try it!
December 7, 2015 at 10:34 pm: Nina
We loved this! We put loads of dill in the soup while it was cooking and more fresh dill when we served it. Probably will add even more carrots next time. They were so good in it. We did let it sit for about 2 hours in the pot with the lid on. Was fantastic!

HAHAHAHA "Old-school foods don't cause new-school diseases." I love it
It would appear that *gasp*.... red meat eaters are actually not more in danger of cancer. Gee that's a shocker. Now for the "I told ya so's". I'm glad I'm not one of those fools who actually changed the way they ate because of such a conclusion; or worse yet, cited it as a point against eating red meat.
Common sense is our friend. Old-school foods don't cause new-school diseases. Simple as that.
Stabbing conventional wisdom in its face.
Anyone who wants to talk nutrition should PM me!
HAHAHAHA "Old-school foods don't cause new-school diseases." I love it
My whole life, I've felt like an animal......but I've ignored my instincts. I ignored what I really am. That will never happen again.

Oklahoma City fire officials were called to the police department's property room after a nitric acid reaction on Tuesday.
The nitric acid was in a barrel that a company donated to the Oklahoma City police, and it was used to dispose of weapons and other confiscated items. Police said the barrel only had a small trace of nitric acid and it was unknown to officers.
Police said an officer started dumping weapons into the barrel and it started smoking. That officer was taken to a local hospital in good condition, but was treated for shortness of breath.
The company that donated the barrel is going to pick it up from the police department. No nitric acid escaped the barrel.

Ontario hospital system to experiment with 'bundled care'
April 27, 2012
The St. Joseph's Health System is about to begin an experiment with "bundled care," a model of treatment that will coordinate hospitalization, long-term care and home care, according to The Spec.
Each patient's care coordination will be overseen by one point person at the hospital, rather than being delegated among different providers within the system. Plans are formulated before a patient is admitted to the hospital and include considerations for discharge and home care.
Ontario is providing the funds necessary to test and evaluate this model for individuals who have surgery on their lungs, hips or knees, as well as patients who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Thus far, results have shown that patient stays in the hospital are one day shorter on average, the emergency room is visited less frequently and home care performs 50 percent more efficiently.
"We're always talking about where are patients most frustrated and it's almost always at the points at which we hand them over between hospitals and family doctors and long-term care and home care," St Joseph's CEO Kevin Smith told the news source. "It's about the continuum and that's where we want to go as an organization. We've all talked about this for an awfully long time and now we're doing it."
Public Health Agency Canada estimates that nearly 4,000 people have died so far in the nation in 2012 due to chronic respiratory disease.

In early 2007, Israel, backed by the U.S., imposed a full blockade over Gaza following the Hamas-Fatah split. The blockade not only has restricted the free movement of the 1.6 million people who live in Gaza, but also has prevented medical supplies, raw materials for industrial production, electronic equipment, and other basic goods from entering Gaza. Thus the majority of industrial operations have ceased. Combined with lack of electricity, production materials, and the ability to export goods, this crippled economy has led to Gaza's 40 percent unemployment rate, and has left most of the population living below the poverty line of $2 per day.
In 2010, the Israeli government announced an "ease" to the blockade, allowing for a limited increase in imports such as clothing and food. However restrictions on many essential goods still exist, exacerbating the sense of helplessness in many strained communities.
AFSC currently supports a youth program in Gaza that provides high school and college age students' opportunities to address problems and issues of importance to them in their communities – such as the blockade's impact. Youth engaged in AFSC's program have helped clean up and repair schools, built community gardens to benefit hungry families in their communities, constructed playgrounds, and painted community murals.
While important, this kind of program can do little to address the larger social and political problem faced by Gaza's youth including the poverty, displacement, and hunger that result from the blockade. Through our work in Gaza, AFSC bears witness to the incredible suffering brought about by the blockade. This suffering will not be ended by humanitarian or development programs alone, but through political action. It is this experience in Gaza that has led AFSC to join dozens of other groups in issuing this joint statement to end the blockade.

by David Sprowl: Executive Director at Lutheran Towers, Atlanta; Director CCAL.
A recent and very personal experience put the concept of person-centered care in the forefront of my mind. Last month, my 90-year old grandmother, Mama Dora, fell and broke her hip. Until that time, she had lived independently in her own home and until her car was wrecked by her great-grandson, she was still driving. Being the dutiful grandson, I immediately took the one and a half hour car trip to be by her side.
In less than a two week span, she underwent successful hip surgery, a short hospital stay, rehab in another city, and was suddenly returned to the hospital with renal failure before peacefully dying. As someone who is particularly sensitive to how individuals treat Elders, I was struck at how well the hospital staff interacted with Mama Dora.
From the aids to the nurses, to the doctors, everyone without exception focused on her. They did not exclude my family in their interactions, but it was clear that my grandmother held their primary interest. They spoke directly to her, asked her personal questions about her family, about how she was feeling, etc. Now, I must acknowledge that Mama Dora has never met a stranger, so she exerted her own personality in the exchange.
I suspected that each staff member providing care was not especially trained to be sensitive to the needs of Elders, but it was simply a natural part of who they were. Upon asking one of the nurses, I learned that they had not received any special training related to eldercare. It turns out that she and the others had only received basic patient care training delivered via educational videos. She had never heard of culture change, patient-directed care, or person-centered care.
Often, we only hear the horror stories, but we have to acknowledge that there are those who are doing the right things for the right reasons, but lack the awareness and formal training that provides them a common language from which to speak and a platform for working at a higher level.
Although what I observed seemed to happen naturally, how much more meaningful would the experience have been if the individuals providing the care were given tools to enable them to create a culture of caring that would last beyond the current group of employees?

The European store has only just opened, and at the moment there isn't really a lot to get excited about. The free Web browser, based on Opera, is surprisingly usable and functional, but game-wise we're limited to a range of very, very simple puzzle and arcade games and one, sole 'keystone' release, WarioWare Snapped. The latter, which features camera controls similar to a cut-down EyeToy game, is an interesting experiment, but the controls aren't particularly effective and the impression is of a game that's high on novelty value, but low on long-term appeal. This isn't a disaster given that all these games are cheap (even WarioWare Snapped is 500 Wii points, or less than £5), but at the moment it's difficult to get a real feel for the DSi experience, as Nintendo envisages it.
That's why it's hard to come up with a definitive verdict on the DSi at this stage. At this exact moment, it's hard to justify upgrading from a DS to a DSi or buying a DSi instead of a DS just to mess around with some low-resolution images, particularly given the £50 difference in price. It's also unlikely that Nintendo will move its biggest hitters - Brain Training, Mario, Zelda - to the DSi and risk alienating the huge existing DS userbase. DSi owners will get enhanced versions of the DS games, but whether these enhancements will be major or minor it's impossible to say at this stage of the game. Finally, it's worth remembering that the £150 price point puts it in contention with Apple's iPod touch. While the DS still has the better games overall, the touch/iPhone platform now has a handful of excellent titles, a wider range of alternative apps, better audio and video features plus support from industry heavyweights like Electronic Arts and Konami. This just can't be ignored.
Given these things, it's tempting to write off the DSi. However, in six months time Nintendo might just release something that makes the DSi feel utterly essential, and me feel silly for ever doubting it. The new Zelda or a new Mario game might appear with features that will make the DS version feel like half the experience, or something of the quality of LostWinds or World of Goo might appear in the DSi shop. Personally, I'd hold off for now until that happens, but if you want a new handheld and feel like taking a small risk, then the DSi is a very interesting little beast indeed.
Right now, the DSi doesn't feel like an essential upgrade over the existing DS Lite, but with the cameras, the extra CPU horsepower and the DSi Shop, there's potential for that situation to change. Don't write it off.

Why this week of fall turkey hunting was taken from us is something controversial. As someone who corresponded with me by letter put it, "We are the recipients [make that victims) of an ongoing study of the 'Fall Harvest Rates of Female Wild Turkeys in Pennsylvania.'" The letter-writer went on to say that his observations - which are also exactly mine - are that this area has a very healthy turkey population. And so it has been for years.
So we cannot go fall turkey hunting until Saturday. Then the season ends on Friday, Nov. 19, and then we have a hiatus, a split season, which means that we can hunt fall turkeys again from Nov. 25 through Nov. 27. A pretty short season, if you ask me, and for very untenable reasons as far as I have been able to figure out. The only advantage I can think of for this season is that perhaps we could have some snow during the latter part of it, which makes finding and following turkeys much easier.
With the griping out of my system, and the hope that those who inflict these things upon us will come to their senses, let's get down to the bottom line of hunting fall turkeys. It should not be hard to find the flocks this year. There are acorns and wild grapes, and the birds will be out scratching for them, so I, for one, will patrol the woods slowly, stopping to listen, look and waft a few series of calls through the air.
You'll know turkey scratchings when you see them. A large flock of birds literally tears up a ridge where food is abundant. If scratchings look very fresh, most hunters will carefully follow the line of the scratchings, hoping to run into the flock. Then, the determination must be made by the hunter as to whether he can get close enough to a busy flock to get a shot. This is tricky business because in any flock there will always be several heads that are up, not feeding, scanning for danger.
If a hunter cannot get close enough to actually get a shot, he will usually be close enough to scatter the flock. Which means you have to startle and panic the birds, generally done by charging toward them, making a lot of noise such as yelling. The frightened birds scatter in all directions.
The birds - usually young birds that are perhaps separated from their mother and flockmates for the first time ever - get panicked at finding themselves alone. The hunting lore here is that they will come on the double to the first calls they hear about 20 minutes or so after the scatter. And those first calls should be made by the hunter who did the scattering.
The most commonly used call will be the kee-kee or whistle of lost young birds, which is a screechy, half-yelp and a call seldom able to be made on anything but a two-reed diaphragm call. Sometimes they will respond to fast-paced yelps as well. But the hunter set up right in the area in which he scattered the flock, waits awhile for the birds to calm down, pulls his camouflage mask and gloves on and commences to offer the kee-kees the birds want to hear.
A few years ago, I ran into a flock of birds in Cambria County. They were too far away to scatter them so I backtracked, circled around and went up into the woods hoping I was in front of them. I set up against a big tree and called intermittently for almost an hour when I saw, again quite far off, the entire flock feeding along the ridge. I called more urgently then, and they turned my way. They had to cross a small ditch that was between us, and after a bit, one of the turkeys ran up out of the ditch and stood, stretched out and looking, on top of the ditch. I aimed my 12-gauge and squeezed the trigger.
When I ran up to retrieve my prize, I realized that hen couldn't have weighed over 6 or 7 pounds. She hadn't looked that small when I aimed at her. So I stuffed her quickly into my vest and hoped I wouldn't see anyone as I walked out of the woods. It didn't take a lot of stuffing to make a meal of her.
Safety while turkey hunting is on everyone's mind, but common sense will take care of most of the problem. Every hunter must keep in mind that everything he sees and hears, especially hears, is not a turkey. Every hunter out there is wearing camouflage and calling turkeys. Therefore, we must assume that everything we see and hear is a hunter, not a turkey, until we positively know better. Many accidents could be prevented if the shooter just would take another second or two to confirm that what he sees, hears and thinks is a turkey is indeed a turkey.

Smartphones are the new 'must have' back to school gadget
09:35, August 20 2014
Children as young as six will be heading to the classroom with a new phone.
Smartphones are the number one back to school gadget in the UK for children 15 years and under.
A study by mobile phone deal comparison site, Tiger Mobiles, also found that school student's needs are shifting toward tech products that provide the latest features in communication, mobility and convenience.
Smartphones dominated the study, with 59% of parents revealing they planned to buy their child a mobile phone ahead of the new school year. Tablets (22%), Laptops (10%) and MP3 players (6%) were also high on the list of prospective purchases. It's bad news for Mathematics teachers though with only 3% of parents opting for the trusty scientific calculator.
The survey, commissioned as part of ongoing research into buying habits and experiences of smartphone users in the UK, quizzed 2,870 parents with children aged 15 years or under about their back to school buying habits:
Findings included:
- 59% of parents will be buying their child a phone ahead of the new school new year.
- 96% will be purchasing a full blown smartphone as opposed to a feature phone that doesn't have apps or full internetaccess.
- 68% cited safety of their child as the main reason for buying one.
- 12% believed a smartphone would help with homework and their child's organisation.
- 18% admitted the only reason for purchasing a mobile phone was because their child's classmates owned one.
- Children as young as six will be starting the new school year in possession of a mobile phone.
- 75% of parents will opt for a contract phone as opposed to pay as you go.
Head of customer insight at Tiger Mobiles, Brandon Ackroyd, said: "We truly live in the smartphone generation so it's no real surprise that children are getting their hands on mobile devices ahead of a new school year.
"There's of course a big debate about whether a child needs a smartphone at that age but I think we're past that. It's happening and I don't think there's much anyone can say or do to change that."
One area of concern for Ackroyd was the money parents are spending on handsets.
He said: "We are seeing more and more parents splash the cash on high end smartphones when they really don't need to. Even a heavy smartphone user rarely uses an iPhone to its full potential so for a child at Primary School it is complete overkill.
"I'd always point parents in the direction of cheaper handsets and also opt for PAYG over a pay monthly deal. It's a good way of teaching children financial control and budgeting from a young age."

Three Teeth At Once – Are You Kidding Me?Emily Malone
Cullen was an exceptionally early teether. I spotted his first one while sitting in the Honolulu airport, waiting for our flight home from vacation. He was just a few weeks past the three month mark. Shortly after that, number two popped up right next to it, and ever since he's been grinning big and showing off his pearly bottom teeth.
A few weeks ago, I noticed the familiar white shine of something popping through up top. Sure enough, number three was the on the way! Sloooowly but surely, the tooth has been making it's way down – this one seems to be taking much longer than the other.
And just a few days ago, during a particularly loud back-arching shriek, I noticed something else…
Not one, but two more top teeth poking through. Seriously, does the straw get ANY shorter than having a baby with three freaking teeth coming in all at once? Needless to say, it's been a teary and cranky week here for both of us. I'm pulling out all the stops – every chew toy under the sun, Hyland's teething tablets, and even some baby tylenol when things get really ugly.
My poor little guy is doing his best to laugh and play through the drool and the pain, and I'm keeping close watch on his top gums, hoping it will be over sooner than later. I'm also starting to get weirded out that his smile is going to look completely different once these three finally descend! His little gummy smile is quickly getting filled with chompers.
Here's hoping there is no biting in our future. Fingers crossed!

Been married 10 years, together 12 years. We have had alot
This answer was rated:
Been married 10 years, together 12 years. We have had alot of external problems from the beginning. Both of us came into relationship with baggage. And both of us have added baggage to the marriage. I am more emotional and have in the past perseverated on not such great things--- worries..., he is very independent. Money is a struggle for us. We have 2 young children. Husband has his own business--which he has restarted about 5 years ago-- our home life used to be filled with tension...not a lot of smiles and laughs. He (in my eyes) always seemed tense and burdened with our life. SHort with the kids, snippy with me... although there were periodic moments of happiness. About a month ago- it all came out- his resenmtent towards me and the life we have createded together and the choices we have made to get us where we are... In the past he has told me he is unhappy with our life and things needed to change--- I wasn't sure exactly what he meant--- I know believe it's many things both external and inside our marriage-- he doesn't know what to do. We have been seeing a counselor- but I don't know how great he is with couples. WE've gone 3 times together- he went once by himself and I went 2 times myself... Every time we go it just seems to stir things up and we regurgitate what we already know the problems are...We are scheduled togo back- but I don't know if it's a good idea or not-- in between the sessions (although my husband still says he still feels the burden of our life on him and doesn't know if it will, if it can go away while we are married) there has really no tension- and we have been able to enjoy hanging out-- although- he wont be intimate with me. He says he loves me so much and will always love me- but can't go on being so unhappy and doesn't know what to do.... He said it's hard to 'be inlove' when there is so much water under the bridge- he feels like he is buried in sludge...and doesn't know how to get out or if it's something he wants to work on... He's confused, hurt, frustrated, angry and can't believe we have actually let our relationship come to this... THis morning he initiated being intimate... I didn't know what to make of it--- then in the middle he pulled away and looked overcome with saddnesss- I asked if he was okay - and he said he felt weird.. I asked hime if he was upset we did that- and he said no-- he just felt weird- thant I said too much too fast? And he nodded his head and slighlt smiled- I told him it' s okay--- but I am confused- Is this a potential hopeful sign- do I talk about it with him- do I initiate now- or do I take this as a moment that he was trying to open himself up to me and its just going to take a long time

I am so sorry what you both have been going through. I can imagine how confusing and frustrating this must be. I think his actions could have been a hopeful sign. It seems that he wants to make it work, but may be afraid that it will not. However, he is still in love with you based on what he said. It may take time and from here is best to do your part through action. Communication is good, but if it gets to the point that the communication is not being backed up with action by one or both individuals or it just seems like things are going into circles then it may be time to not focus so much on communicating. Rather show him how things can be different. Whatever you feel needs to be changed do whatever you can do make that happen. Try making a plan within yourself of what these issues are and steps on how to go about changing them. You can not change him, but by seeing your change you will give him hope and motivation for the relationship as well as for him to make changes as well. I would take what he did as a steeping stone and build on it from here. Just take things day by day and try to make each day count and moving closer to change and proceed with it. It is the little things we do each day over a long period of time that make us and our families who we are.
In addition I would recommend trying another counselor. Counseling can really help if you find the right fit for your individual needs. Not every counselor is for everyone.
I hope this answered your question and helped, but if there is anything else I can do to help please feel free to reply and I will continue until you are satisfied.
I truly wish you both the very best during this time, but love can sustain all problems. Try and stay positive in order to not give up on the family you both have been building for so long. .

Thank you so much. I guess I m confused on what to do next. Can I initiate or do i need to let him when he is ready... I feel like the counseling was highlighting the bad and right now we need to focus on the happy. Do I talk to him about this morning or just let it go? I love him so much and he just seems to be in sooo much pain. He keeps saying how we have had ten years if struggle and the majority of it has been unhappy and he wants to be happy. He said our past together has changed him and he doesn't like who he has become. I told him I don't want to separate or divorce but I'm not him and I don't know how to help him see how to move forward with me. At one point he also said he didn't know if he had anything left to give he was empty.
Jen Helant
replied 3 years ago.
Its hard to say exactly since I do not know all the details of what has been happeneing over the ten years to make him feel this way. But the best thing from here would be to see where he goes from here. I would try initiating if you are prepared to take the risk of rejection, but I would not try to talk about what happened right now. That could add extra stress and pressure on him especially if he is feeling this way. I would try to focus on the happy as you said and try through action. It takes work to condition ourselves to see things positively and change our reactions to certain situations, but if we keep trying it does come naturally in time. Counseling does dig up a lot of stuff, but sometimes that needs to be done in order to change the future. However, that should not be the only focus of your relationship. At this point he is still with you, so it is really best to do your part as a wife to try to do whatever you can to change the future. In regards XXXXX XXXXX personal issues he would need to deal with that from within, but you can be there to do your part to support him as well. Actions daily can change your relationship moving forward.

Hi there,
I'm having so much trouble grasping what is happening. My husband and I had a heart to heart and I apologized for sabatausing our relationship from the beginning and my difficulty separating from my family when we were first married. I feel like he never thought I put him first. Maybe I didn't the way I should have. He says he wants to be happy again and feels changed by our life together and doesn't know if he can or even wants to try because he couldnt take the thought of two years from now things falling back into our old pattern. It's school vacation this week and he's thinking of going and staying at his moms to step away from the situation and try and get some clarity. He also asked if I followed up with looking into a counselor for our kids. I asked him if he has already made a decision and is just wanting to take time to iron it all out. He said he's not moving out right now... And that the reason he feels the counselor for the kids is a good idea because they have been exposed to previous tension in the house... Nothing more or less. He's been somewhat short with me... Is there still hope???
Jen Helant
replied 3 years ago.
I think you did the right thing and I believe that there is hope. The fact that he does not want to move out now shows that he does not want to leave and believes there is hope. He is just afraid of everything going back to how it was after awhile. He also wants to take a refresher by going away for the week. This is actually good and can help clear his mind and rejuvenate him. I would use this time to focus on the children and plan how you can do your part when he gets back. Your goal can be trying to be consistent with your actions. This will show him that there can be change and give him motivation as well. Change is difficult because we are stuck in our old habits. This is normal for everyone. It takes acknowledgment and strength to change. However, after time it does come natural. All in all I would not give up and based on what you explained I believe their is hope. I also think it is wonderful that you have great insight into yourself and the situation, you both are in communication, and you both discuss matters of the children.
I will be here when you need, so please feel free.

Thank you so much. Do you think it is possible for someone who is so black and white , so concrete and independent to use space as a way to gain energy to come back to the relationship stronger? I'm nervous with space hell feel relief and not feel like he should try and come back.... What do you think?
replied 3 years ago.
My husband just seems miserable. I have been out of town since Friday. I called to check in on him and kids... He was do distant and withdrawn on the phone... Ugh
Jen Helant
replied 3 years ago.
I think he could possibly use this as reflecting time. I would make the most of each of your encounters even if they are short to show him how you are changing on your end.
He probably sounds like this because the situation is very overwhelming and stressful. That is expected and is not necessarily bad. Working on the relationship can change the way he feels and rebuild the relationship. He does not want to stay as it is now nor do you. Some people get comfortable and are fine with the way it is when there are problems and use it as an excuse to do as they please so it is good he is not doing that.

The former director of the Detroit Public Schools Risk Management office and its ex-finance manager were charged in federal court, along with two local business owners, with stealing millions of dollars from the cash-strapped district.
Stephen Hill and Christina Polk-Osumah were named in an eight-count indictment unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Detroit. They are accused of converting more than $3 million to themselves, relatives and acquaintances.
Also named in the indictment are sisters Sherry and Gwendolyn Washington, operators of Associates for Learning.
The charges include bribery, fraud, extortion and money laundering.
Hill and Polk-Osumah appeared Wednesday in federal court. It was unclear if any of the defendants have attorneys.
Hill and Polk-Osumah are accused of using their positions to approve vendor contracts and make payments outside of district protocols, according to the 15-page indictment. One of those contracts was a verbal agreement with Associates for Learning to implement a health assessment study for district employees.
Associates for Learning proposed $150,000 in fees, but more than $3 million eventually was paid to the company's four partners. Each also was asked to return a percentage of those earnings to Hill "as a kickback for his role in facilitating the payment," according to the indictment.
Hill was hired by the district in January 2005, but left about nine months later to join an insurance brokerage and risk management services firm that had been doing business with Detroit Public Schools.
The following spring, he went to work for another brokerage firm before returning to the Risk Management office as acting executive director "on loan" from that firm, which also covered his salary, according to the indictment.
The district has sued Hill in Wayne County Circuit Court, claiming he had a role in diverting millions of dollars to other district vendors during his time running the Risk Management office.
Emergency financial manager Robert Bobb and the district's inspector general have uncovered numerous instances of fraud and theft by former and current district employees.
"By bringing to justice those who have sought to enrich themselves at the expense of our children, we hope to send a message that the level of corruption that has been allowed to flourish in Detroit Public Schools in the past will no longer be tolerated," Bobb said in a statement.
Bobb launched an all-out campaign against theft, fraud and corruption shortly after his March 2009 appointment by Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm to fix the district's finances. He has said the district's current budget deficit is about $219 million.

By Ernie Bush
August 2, 2011 | Bush Doctrine | In a recent brief for Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, John Arrowsmith of Thomson Reuters reported the following information regarding Phase II clinical failures in the period 2008-10. Of the 108 reported failures, 87 listed reasons for failure and they were distributed in four categories as follows: Efficacy (51%); Strategic (29%); Safety (19% both preclinical and clinical); and PK/BA (1%).
When he combined these data with the biological target areas for the failed compounds, Arrowsmith made the following observation:
"Although it is difficult to draw conclusions from these data, the finding that a substantial proportion of Phase II failures were due to strategic reasons suggests that one important underlying factor could be overlapping R&D activity between companies with drugs in Phase II trials. This raises the question of whether an increase in collaborative efforts between companies up to the point of proof-of-concept for novel targets or mechanisms might be more cost- and time-effective."
While I know many companies conduct joint development efforts on a single compound, I find the idea of multiple companies joining to conduct clinical target validation studies, potentially across a range of compounds, a very intriguing idea. It is one that has come up before, however, but in a more limited context.
The Target Validation Consortium
Since the core of our business has always been about the "collaborative advantage," we were approached a couple years ago by someone who wanted to build a collaborative organization of pharma companies for the purposes of establishing a "pharmacological targets" validation consortium.
The central thesis of his proposal was that all large pharmaceutical companies have a constant need to discover and validate novel biological targets as a basis for developing new medical therapies. In particular, he felt that the target discovery field is dominated by the academic research community because they are focused on the basic biological sciences needed to uncover the functional activities of proteins and pathways. This basic biology is then supplemented by activities needing larger investments, which include large-scale protein synthesis, building and executing high-throughput functional screens, and animal testing capabilities. Of course, all of these supplemental activities are usually provided or funded by pharma companies.
Unfortunately, these larger investments are often replicated across multiple pharma companies as is the cost of conducting early safety studies to determine if the target has unwanted pharmacology. As it is very common for multiple companies to be chasing the same targets, the overall duplication of efforts and expense to achieve a validated target is wasteful and arguably not as thorough or comprehensive as could be achieved in a collaborative effort. Or so he proposed... unfortunately, when we tried to formalize and build such a consortium, his employer decided they could not support the idea of taking collaboration to that level.
Of course, what is interesting to me is that Arrowsmith's suggestion takes this proposal one step further. He is basically asking, "Why don't companies collaborate not only on the discovery target validation, but on the validation of the target all the way through to human clinical studies?" This has the possibility of greatly reducing the number of failures both due to lack of efficacy but also of reducing the number of failures due to "strategic" reasons.
In a logical extension of Arrowsmith's observation, one could also ask: Why would collaboration have to stop at target validation? What about collaborative Phase II and/or Phase III studies? At the very least, having a shared safety database on compounds hitting the same targets would be of value to the companies, to the regulators, and to the general public health. Or am I clear off the reservation?
As such, the larger question becomes one of "what are the limits of collaboration within the pharmaceutical R&D space?" Recent years have seen many types of 'collaborations' introduced such as the Enlight Biosciences (see, "Big Pharma's Road to Enlight(enment)," Bio•IT World, Sept 2008) co-investment collaboration, the Pistoia Alliance (see, "The Italian (Informatics) Job," Bio•IT World, Jan 2010) open software standards collaboration and the Preclinical Safety Testing Consortia biomarker discovery/development collaboration. All of these share the common thread of multiple pharmas joining together to achieve an objective that would be difficult or expensive for any one company to achieve independently; but they have very different operational characteristics and an even wider diversity of missions. But I must say that the concept of companies actually collaborating on the clinical development space truly looks like a significant step beyond anything actively ongoing to date. If there is real synergy and leverage to be obtained through collaboration, then why not collaborate across the whole R&D space? Or is the fact that contract organizations are becoming increasingly dominate across the entire R&D space really just another expression of this concept?

Some good news from Central Asia…
One of the most recent conservation organisations to become a partner supporting international sociable lapwing conservation is BirdLife's national affiliate, the Uzbekistan Society for the Protection of Birds. During their first surveys for the species (made possible by the Species Champion Swarovski Optik), they made a remarkable discovery – more than 400 birds present at the Talimarzhan Reservoir in Kashkadarya Province, during their migration south.
To read more about this significant discovery, visit The Amazing Journey website.
…and some bad news from Europe…
The leading bird in a European project to develop a method to save the rare northern bald ibis was killed last weekend by hunters in Italy. Goja was on her way to wintering grounds in Tuscany when she was shot down. Johannes Fritz from the University of Vienna has been hand-raising the birds and teaching them how to migrate from breeding areas north of the Alps in Germany and Austria to wintering grounds in Italy.
Goja's fate is not unique. Last autumn, the project lost up to 15 of 37 migrating birds to hunters in Italy. It is heartbreaking that at the same time as we are trying to secure more funding to extend the reintroduction project, illegal hunting continues to be a serious problem across southern Europe.
