World Poomsae Championships Coach Blog
"Are We There Yet?!"
It seems like days since I left my house to depart for the 7th WTF World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships... because it was! While the 9-hour flight from Los Angeles to Bogota, Colombia (and subsequent 3-hour bus ride to the mountain city of Tunja where the competition will take place) represents the shortest travel time to the world Taekwondo Poomsae Championships for any U.S. team to date, our trip actually turned out to be the longest thanks to a 17-hour flight delay out of LAX. Fortunately, many of the LA area team members were able to go home or leave the airport to relax while waiting for our flight.
Once we got on the plane to Panama City (first connection), things went pretty smoothly. We caught a glimpse of the Panama Canal from the air and then took a quick flight to Bogota. There, we were greeted by members of the Colombian Taekwondo Federation, who assisted with our entry into Colombia. We then met up with the U.S. team members who had arrived earlier (i.e.those whose flights WEREN'T delayed) and departed by bus for our final destination of Tunja. The bus ride is slow, but the scenery is absolutely beautiful. How many times would we have the opportunity to see the lesser traveled countryside of Colombia? It reminds me of just how truly global the sport of Taekwondo is, and how fortunate those of us representing our country are.
This year, 22 of the 32-member U.S. team (including athletes, coaches, staff, and family) traveled together from Los Angeles. In past years, our team would travel in many smaller groups, sometimes arriving to the competition city on different days. So to have the team together this year is great. Even though most team members already know one another, spending a lot of time traveling together really goes a long way towards building a special team bond. I can already sense a positive vibe on the team this year, which will hopefully translate into the athletes performing at their best come competition time.
Speaking of competition, there are 54 nations represented at this year's World Poomsae Championships. We expect slightly fewer than 400 athletes competing for the 22 gold medals up for grabs. While the United States has yet to win a gold medal at the World Poomsae Championships, we are no stranger to the medal stand, having won numerous silver and bronze medals over the years.
From a coaching perspective, I enter this tournament with confidence that our team will not just reach the podium, but that we will have our best showing yet in terms of final round appearances and overall performance. Last year our team had seven final-round appearances, with four fifth place finishes. This year, I am optimistic that we will improve on those results and continue to advance as a nation.
Well, we're almost in Tunja now, and I can see in front of us that we have a police escort guiding us through the winding, mountainous road.
It's always nice to see the host country of the world championships taking extra precautions to ensure the safe travel and accommodation of the visiting countries.
Time to sign off now as typing on my tablet during this somewhat bumpy bus ride has been interesting to say the least. I'm looking forward to catching up on sleep tonight after that delayed flight, and I'm also looking forward to trying some Colombian food and empanadas (which came highly recommended by my teammate Charlotte Craig). Tomorrow we have our first team training. Competition starts on Thursday. GO USA!

Where do you turn when your family is in trouble? Some confide in a friend; others call a marriage "expert," like a pastor or counselor. Many people in the world consult a psychologist, only to come away with theories and five-step plans; or more commonly, they call a psychiatrist and get themselves a prescription. But where does God's Word fit into the equation?
Sadly, many Christian couples venture into marriage with a weak commitment to Scripture. So when trouble comes knocking, the Bible is often the last place they go for help.
If that's your story, take heart . . . there's hope. You'll find everything you need for life and godliness in God's Word (2 Peter 1:3). That means the Bible is our only source for a godly life, marriage, and family. It's not hidden, mysterious, or difficult to understand. And if you are filled with the Spirit of God, all of its wisdom is open and available to you—you can put it into practice today.
That's God's first word on the family, according to John MacArthur . . .

In what ways have Christians in our generation demonstrated a weak commitment to Scripture?
First, the majority of Christians today seldom read their bible. What knowledge they have of scripture typically comes from what they have heard others speak, which may, or may not be accurate.
Second, the authority of scripture is suspect and played out in the way these folks search for answers to their problems.
Conclusion: if there is no priority placed on reading the scripture and understanding what our Lord has conveyed to us, that same priority will be applied to searching for the answers.
I'm speaking from experience!

Dear JM: Gud Stuff! A very hard lesson to learn, i.e. that the Spirit of God works in, with, and through the Word of God and that this is what it means to be Spirit filled. And HaSatan wants it that way. It is interesting how different God and the Adversary are, God works through our rational mind to our heart to our lives. The Adversary works through our senses, blasting us with sinful and amoral (yes and immoral) darts which cause us so much harm.
I am currently reading E. Tov's book on TC of the OT, I am amazed at how great our God is in preserving the Word and how accurate most modern translations are,(as well as Ancient text). It seems to me that Satan has really pulled the wool over the eyes of generations of people over this issue. Even in the various so called "mistakes" of variant readings don't change the Word. Both the "Liberal" and the ultra conservative groups like the "KJV only" crowd have been blind sided. God has preserved the Word through our mistakes. The differences in manuscripts don't make a difference when you take it in context. (I will admit that I am no expert- but when I read these text that are suppose to contain "mistakes" it really doesn't change things.) Even so, if we would follow the instruction we can plainly see it would lead us to the truth we can't see.
How folks treat the Word is kinda of like how my daughter treated her first "her" sized chair. She went over to it and pressed down on it with her hands, then she turned around and put a little weight on it with her behind, then she sat on the edge, just in case, then she committed her whole weight to it. Before long she took it for granted. With a chair that may be okay, with the Word it isn't, I am glad that you stand for the truth of the Word. And thanks for your time and commitment to ministry.PT

The weak commitment to scripture, which resulted to some serious problems in the marriages and societies, is now being demonstrated not only by not reading and studying it, but rather, it's by replacing or exchanging it with "wines that made us drunk" in our own very homes. What I mean to say is the 'pleasure which preoccupies us at home rather than having time with the kids teaching them the basic of Christian life'. This generation, which thrive with the drunkenness of multimedia temptations and sins, have barely known what it's like to sit down with a little child and read bible stories and answer some silly childish questions. We rather put on the TV or the internet or the Xbox and play with our kids – deceiving ourselves that we are just having quality time and fun with them.
Indeed here's now a breed of generation, not only in the family and society but also in the church, resembling the 2 Tim 3:1-7 - 'always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.'
Another way Christians show a weak commitment to Scripture is by misusing and abusing Scripture, shaping it into worldly thinking.
All you have to do is walk into a so-called Christian bookstore, go to the marriage and family section, and you will find shelves full of man's worldly thinking legitimized by a verse here and there taken out of context from a paraphrase translation.
Very little material on marriage and family that purports to be biblical is actually biblical.
Man's books don't last.
God's Word stands forever.
I tried self help books and pills the the doctors give. It did'nt
make my life any better. Jesus does.
Am I off the point?
God bless.
T.V. is treated like a god. When the tv is on, when I eat. I see people
glued to it while they eat slow. I read about a baby. The mother was feeding the baby while the tv was on. The baby looks at the tv rather
looking at the mother when she feed him or her. Sad.
I agree about lack of bible reading.
By having a much stronger commitment to the flesh. Scripture tells us to pursue righteousness, godliness. Our children are watching us, even when we don't think they are. They see what Mom and Dad think is important, they see how we prioritize and schedule our lives. They will emulate us. When we 'pigeon-hole' our Christianity to only scheduled events at a church building rather than actively living and speaking of the word when we sit, walk, lie down, and rise, we do not honor God.
"In what ways have Christians in our generation demonstrated a weak commitment to Scripture?"
I think that it may be demonstrated in a "live and let live" attitude. I think some christians believe that if the bible says homosexuality (just to name a topic) is wrong as it clearly states it, it's not up to us to condemn anybody who believes it is none of our business to "tell" them it is.
If a christian is not equipped to deal with such an attitude, then it follows that they will think that applies to the whole of the bible.
At best, they will hope God sends someone else to confront them, at worst, they don't really think it's such a big deal. Either of those attitudes needs to be dealt with by studying and applying what is learned from scripture (and it may mean a renewing of the mind).
Hi Folks: I think the issue is that we do not act as the "salt and light", we are suppose to be. We are not confessing our sins and keeping short accounts with God. And our attitude of independence due to the wealth we enjoy may contribute to the fleshly decisions we make. We need the eye ointment and the binding up of our wounds. And a new dependence upon the lover of our souls. I might add that we need to practice "true religion" that James speaks of. "For where our treasure is that is where our heart will be". Just some thoughts.
I believe Christians need to focus more on Christ, on His will and less on their individual opinion and wishes,only then you are able to succeed in your marriege life.
and i would recommend a blessed book written by
The Man of truth- John MacArthur

Barth, Meredith, Gaitor Among Tampa Bay Cuts
It's a tough time of the year around the NFL, where guys one minute think they're safe and the next they're cut. Kicker Connor Barth probably didn't see what was coming. The most accurate kicker was among those the team released Friday. With the release, it looks like Tampa Bay will go with the versatile (and cheaper) free agent Patrick Murray as its kicker this season. Murray, who hasn't kicked in an NFL game, was 2-for-2 in field goals during… Read More »

Topic: Rails(/Ruby?) Rounds from 97.66 -> 97
Hello! I am calculating the average of a column from the DB and it's all dandy and stuff, but now I want to go from for example xx.xxxxxx -> xx.xx. This is what I'm doing:
average = @user.grades.calculate('avg', 'mark', :conditions => "include_overall = TRUE")
@average = (average * 100).round / 100
Now, the average from the database is exactly "97.6667", so it should become 97.66, no? No. It just becomes 97 I think this has something to do with Ruby, and not with Rails. Any ideas guys?

Hunt 1227: CWMU Buck deer
Season dates
9-1-2014 to 10-31-2014
- Nonresident permits: No
- Resident permits: 15
- Total permits: 15
The Wildlife Board establishes timeframes for hunting on CWMUs. Hunters should expect to hunt at least five days within these timeframes
Type: CWMU
Species: Buck deer
Weapon: Any legal weapon
DescriptionThe Deseret Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) takes up parts of Weber, Morgan and Rich counties, with Rich county having the most area. The higher points on the Deseret CWMU are along Horse Ridge (8500 feet). On the west the Unit drops away to about 6400 feet in the south and 8000 feet in the north. On the eastside of Horse Ridge the Unit makes a less steep drop, dropping down to around 6400 feet in the north and 6800 feet in the south along the Utah - Wyoming state border. The most common elevation is 6400 feet but ranges from 6000 feet to 8700 feet with an elevation difference of 2700 feet. Fifty-two percent (52%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 6800 feet and 7800 feet an elevation difference of 1000 feet.
The Deseret Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is much larger than other CWMUs in Utah, therefore land cover is more diversified. About half (50%) of the land cover on the Deseret CWMU is Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). Towards the northeast and at lower elevation, there are large areas of Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Steppe (66). Thet higher elevations on the west of the Unit, mixed with Sagebrush Steppe are extensive areas of Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22). At lower elevations towards the northeast are several patches of Agriculture (114) land. At minor extents are Southern Rocky Mountain Montane-Subalpine Grassland (71), Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48), and Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane shrubland (41).
One of the Deseret Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, WOODRUFF (429595), is about 10.5 km north from the north edge of the CWMU. WOODRUFF has one hundred eleven (111) years of records, 1897 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 2.64 inches, but it can be as high as 5.18 inches or as low as 0.64 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 15 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 8 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 1 day of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 8.7 inches but can be as high as 29.2 inches. FALL temperature at WOODRUFF averages 40.8 degrees F. but can be as high as 111.0 degrees F. or as low as -26.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 73 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 6 days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

Thanksgiving with Crohn's Disease
First and foremost, I wanted to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! And, I wanted to let you know how thankful that I am to have all of you to share and commiserate with. You all have truly been a blessing in my life, so thank you!
Does anyone else get a little sad though, during Thanksgiving, even though you are truly thankful for what you have? I have been very blessed to have a relatively healthy year this year and pretty much thank God every day for that. But still, I find myself a little sad because of all that I have had to give up and how can you not be sad with all of that tempting delicious food in front of you knowing that if you eat even just one little bite of it, you will regret it for days to come.
We just had a Thanksgiving party at work this last Friday. I went to the party to see if there was anything that I could eat, but there was nothing. I ended up eating the packed lunch that I brought alone in my office at my desk. The party looked nice, and there was a lot of variety. The problem was that everything contained some ingredient that I couldn't eat – pepper, Cajun spice, garlic, butter, and who knows what else. I figured that it would be best to not even try. I could have brought my lunch of the previous nights leftovers (fish and rice) to the party and sat with all of the people but hardly anyone knows that I have Crohn's and I didn't feel like explaining why I didn't want to eat the wonderful Thanksgiving food. So, I was sad in my office – all alone. Oh well. At least I felt good the next day.
At my last job, we were a much closer group, and I would always make something that I could eat and bring that in. The party on Friday was with the whole team and a lot of the people I don't even know that well. And, I just didn't have time to cook anything, so I just brought the bread. To cheer me up a little bit, I took a fifteen minute break and read some of my book. At least that got my mind over the party and I could then get back to work.
For Thanksgiving, we are going to my husband's parent's house. They are making the Turkey (which they never put pepper on it because of me – I love them for that!) and I am going to make the ham. My daughter loves pumpkin pie so I will also make some for her. I may try a piece of it since I don't have to work on Friday and gosh darn it I want to indulge in something!
So, don't over indulge but enjoy yourself!
Happy Thanksgiving

My conversion into a fan of science-fiction began with an unusual order from a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: "Each Marine shall read a minimum of three books from the [Commandant's Professional Reading List] each year."
Included on the list of books suitable for shaping the minds of young Lance Corporals like me were two sci-fi novels: Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers and Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game.
I soon discovered what lay hidden in these literary gems. Along with surprisingly intriguing story lines, both novels provide some keen insights on the role of training, discipline, and creativity in preparing an effective military. But Ender's Game also included a concept that, at the time (1990), I would not have been able to classify: a Hayekian view of knowledge and liberty.
As Sam Staley says, the novel provides "lessons about individualism, liberty, and the value of markets."

As November 11 is a time to recognize all the dedicated men and women who have served and fought to protect the nation, it has also become a day to honor the canine veterans who serve alongside human troops.
According to PetMD.com, dogs started serving in the United States military in 1942, during which time the animals were not bred and trained for serving, but were actually pets of American families who were donated to serve during World War II. Breeds like the doberman pinscher, rottweiler, boxer, bullmastiff, collie and German shepherds were commonly deployed. In 1943, the War Dog program was established and by the end of July that same year, more than 11,000 dogs had been trained to serve.
Dogs perform a number of unique duties while serving. Some act as sentry dogs, who assisted in guard duty at ammunition dumps and more. Tactical dogs are trained to be used in certain combat situations - they are even fitted with camouflage outfits and gas masks. Silent scout dogs use their remarkable senses to given warnings to their handlers about the presence of enemy forces.
These animals continue to lend their services today, helping to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sometimes, because of their temperament, these American canine heroes have a tough time getting adopted after retirement, though nonprofits like the Military Working Dog Foundation work to ensure these dogs are well taken care of after their services end.

Health expo gets help from long distance
SANTA ANA – About 400 people seeking dental treatment at a free health fair were turned away Sunday because there weren't nearly enough dentists to see them.
The need would have been far greater had five dentists from Columbia University not shown up for the weekend, and if a Tennessee nonprofit hadn't brought in truckloads of equipment.
If you count the total number of people helped, the fourth annual Central County Health Expo was a big success. About 2,000 men, women and children, most without health insurance, got checkups, prescriptions, eye exams, glasses, fillings and even tooth extractions, all for free. Everyone who went to the medical tents received attention Saturday and Sunday, and all but 50 people needing vision services were seen. But only 132 dental patients got in.
Remote Area Medical, the Knoxville volunteer group, parked two massive tractor-trailers on the Santa Ana High School campus. Inside, technicians ran tests and ground lenses for new glasses. The trucks also had brought 72 dental chairs and work stations, 62 of which remained stowed away.
"Local health-care professionals can be very difficult to recruit because they want to take the weekend off," said Jean Jolly, coordinator of RAM's Reach Across America program, which sends mobile units to underserved areas, both rural and urban.
This is the second time RAM has worked on an event with Illumination Foundation, the Irvine-based nonprofit that hosted the expo. Illumination knew demand would be high inside the gym that served as a makeshift dental office. The foundation put the word out late last week that there would be a shortage of dentists. "Three came quickly" on Saturday, said Yelena Westberg, a registered nurse who's director of clinical operations for the foundation. Five more O.C. dentists came Sunday.
Westberg noted that the expo had strong competition from the California Dental Association's expo in Anaheim, held Thursday through Saturday. She said it's also difficult for busy dentists to make the time.
"They work all week, so when we ask them to come out all day Saturday and Sunday, that makes for a really long weekend. And they have to stand on their feet all day. Plus, they want to see their families," she said.
California used to prevent out-of-state dentists from treating patients here. But in December, a rules change went into effect allowing practitioners to come for free events. That's how the five dentists from Columbia's College of Dental Medicine came to be in Santa Ana. Backed by a grant from the school, they flew in Friday and were scheduled to return to New York on Sunday night.
The five were female pediatric dentists because they thought there would be lots of children to treat. There were far more adults waiting, likely because dental benefits for adults were mostly dropped from Medi-Cal in 2009.
"We saw 10 to 15 kids, unfortunately not as many as we expected," said Dr. Maria Velasco. "But we're here to help. Whether we have kids or adults, we want to help them."
Martha Espinoza, a single mom from Tustin, was beaming after getting her chipped left front tooth fixed with a crown. She also got free glasses the day before, and her daughter Jasmine, 13, had four fillings. Martha had not seen a dentist in four years, and she said the treatment she received might help her get a job; she's got two interviews Monday.
"People will say, 'Get a life, get a job.' Yeah, but we don't got the tools. We don't got the money to pick up ourselves," she said. "This is a big lift."
County Supervisor Janet Nguyen, who co-hosted and helped plan the expo, was asked what it says about the county's system that so much of the expo's success relied on outside help.
"It definitely says we have to re-evaluate our own situation in Orange County," she said. "We need to re-evaluate how we deal with health coverage, because ultimately if we can do preventive care, then the emergency rooms will not be filled."

Not many people expect their pets to smell like fresh linen - after all, they are animals. However, if your dog has a particularly offensive odor, it can be a sign of illness.
While dogs are known to roll in substances that are less than pleasant, if the smell does not go away after a bath, possible skin infection could be to blame. Veterinarian Mark J. Stickney, a clinical assistant professor at Texas A&M University, told EverydayHealth.com that bacterial or yeast infections on a dog's skin commonly leads to a foul odor.
Yeast dermatitis is one cause of a malodorous pet. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that this fungal infection is an extremely common cause of skin disease in dogs. There are millions of bacteria and fungi on all dogs, but healthy animals are able to keep the numbers in check. However, if the dog's immune system is compromised by age, illness, allergies or hormonal imbalances like hypothyroidism, bacteria and fungus can get out of hand and cause infection.
Usually, your veterinarian can recommend a shampoo or oral medication to treat this condition, VCA reports. You should also look for hot spots on dogs, since these bacterial infections will also need treatment that your vet can recommend or prescribe, PetMD.com reports.

My 2 cents. In the end though, get something you will like and that you will play with. Preference aside the above two I mentioned are at the top of their game for the price and markers you mentioned.

- It has the same bolt as the GoG G1 (the marker I use) and its very good even with the most brittle paint
- It is regulated so your FPS spread is going to be pretty consistent
- Trigger pull is incredibly light for a mech gun unlike the competition.
- Bolt out the back design makes for easy maintenance
- It's a lot quieter than the competition
- Its backed by an AWESOME company that definitely will help you with ANY problems you may have.
I currently run a GoG G1 w/ black heart board and it's absolutely perfect for playing in the woods. When I did have some problems GoG fixed my marker at no extra charge and sent it back in 4 days (I live in Germany, thats pretty sweet). Don't waste your hard earned cash on anything else and don't worry about the enmey being rugged, it can handle even the toughest of spills. In the long run you will be happier with the enmey.

Whiskey Sour
- 2 oz. whiskey (bourbon or blended Canadian)
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1/2 tsp. simple syrup
Place ingredients in cocktail shaker with ice and shake well; strain into chilled cocktail glass, or pour into rocks glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and orange slice.
- 2 oz. Canadian whiskey (preferable Canadian Club 10 or 12 year-Old)
- 3/4 oz. sweet vermouth
- Dash Angostura bitters
Place ingredients in cocktail shaker and stir, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass, or place ingredients in an Old Fashioned glass with ice, and stir. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Old Fashioned
- 3 oz. whiskey (your preference)
- 2 orange slices
- 1 sugar cube
- 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
Place the sugar cube at the bottom of an Old Fashioned glass and dissolve it with the bitters; muddle together with one of the orange slices. Fill the glass with ice, add the whiskey, stir well, and garnish with a maraschino cherry and a second orange slice (note: some recipes call for a dash of soda at the end of the muddling process, others suggest topping off the drink with it. Either way, this is optional).
Brandy Alexander
- Equal parts Cognac, Crème de Cacao and fresh cream (or Half and Half)
Combine in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice; shake and strain into a cocktail glass; garnish with grated nutmeg.
- 3 parts brandy or Cognac
- 1 part white crème de menthe
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and stir; serve straight up or on the rocks.
- Stir together equal parts Campari, sweet vermouth and gin; garnish with orange slice; serve in an Old Fashioned glass over ice.
Variations include substituting vodka or Prosecco (the Negroni Sbagliato) for the gin, or Punt e Mes for the sweet vermouth.
Ramos Gin Fizz
- 2 oz. gin (preferably Old Tom)
- 1/2 oz. lime juice
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
- 1 oz. simple syrup
- 1 oz. cream
- 3 dashes orange flower water
- 1 egg white,
- Soda water
Shake first seven ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice vigorously for at least 1 minute; add ice and shake for 2 minutes, or until cold and frothy; strain into a large Old Fashioned glass, top with soda and stir. Proceed cautiously with the orange flower water, as it can easily overwhelm the drink.
This drink was named after a brand of Cognac imported by the Sazerac Company, and apparently contained Cognac initially. Some versions of the story trace its invention to the Sazerac House, a nineteenth century bar in New Orleans; others claim it was devised by Antoine Peychaud, inventor of Peychaud's Bitters. The Sazerac Company dates the cocktail to 1850. To make matters more confusing, the company currently produces a brand of rye whiskey called Sazerac. (Note that Herbsaint, a pastis, was substituted for absinthe prior to legalization; you may now use the real thing)
- 1 cube sugar
- 1 1/2 oz. Sazerac Rye Whiskey or Buffalo Trace Bourbon
- 1/4 oz. Herbsaint
- 3 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
- Lemon peel
Pack an Old Fashioned glass with ice. In a second Old Fashioned glass place the sugar cube and add the Peychaud's Bitters to it, then crush the sugar cube and add the whiskey (or bourbon). Empty the ice from the first glass and coat the glass with the Herbsaint, then discard the remaining Herbsaint. Empty the whiskey/bitters/sugar mixture from the second glass into the first glass and garnish with lemon peel.
Hot Buttered Rum
- 2 oz. dark rum
- 1 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 small slice soft butter
- Dash of vanilla extract
Spices to taste (ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, allspice)
Place butter, brown sugar and spices at the bottom of a mug, and muddle together; add dash vanilla extract; add rum, fill mug with hot water and stir.
Irish Coffee
- 1 jigger Irish whiskey
- Fresh brewed coffee
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- Heavy cream or whipped cream
Preheat mug with hot water, then empty; fill 3/4 full with hot coffee, add brown sugar, and stir until dissolved; stir in Irish whiskey; top with whipped cream, or float heavy cream on top by pouring against the back of a spoon.

Skip to comments.African Slaves Brought First Rice Riches to U.S.?

A rice variety that made many a colonial plantation owner rich was brought to the United States from West Africa, according to preliminary genetic research.
The finding suggests that African slaves are responsible for nearly every facet of one of the first rice varieties grown in the U.S., as well as one of the most lucrative crops in early American history.
"Not only did they bring the technology, the how-to, they brought the cultivar," said Anna McClung, a genetic researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Stuttgart, Arkansas.
West Africans had been growing varieties of rice for several thousand years before the start of the slave trade with the colonies, McClung said.
Ship masters wanting to deliver healthy slaves to the U.S. bought rice in Africa as provisions for the voyage, according to experts. Once in the colonies, slaves grew leftover rice in their own garden plots for food.
In 1685 plantation owners in the Carolinas started experimenting with a rice variety that produced high yields and was easy to cook, McClung said.
The slaves used their rice-growing know-how to convert the swampy Carolina lowlands to thriving rice plantations replete with canals, dikes, and levies, which facilitated periodic flooding of the fields, McClung noted.
The so-called Carolina Gold variety quickly became a high value export crop, primarily to Europe.
"That was really fundamental for the economic growth of this country, and that hinged upon this one variety," McClung said. "So there's been this question of where did that one variety come from?"

Interesting PC twist. The slaves didn't bring it, the African slave traders sold it to the European slave traders along with the slaves.
Everyone knows America was built on rice!
(and on the back of Uncle Ben)
So does Uncle Ben have to start paying reparations?

One would think that any rations slaves managed to smuggled aboard the blackbirders' ships would be consumed or stolen by the other slaves.

Anybody else notice how the National Geographic author is seemingly confused about the difference between the colonies and the United States? This article conflates the two. I'll leave it up to the reader to decide for themselves whether that anachronism was intentionally slipped into the narrative multiple times in an effort to make a political statement, or whether it was simply done out of ignorance.
For reference, note that the only date quoted in the article excerpt is the year 1685, yet the United States was not founded until the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which was more than ninety years later. So it would appear that many or most of the references to the "the U.S." or "the United States" are simply false.
Oh, and notice if you read all the way to the end of the article you find out that all of this is speculative, and that in fact it could be incorrect, and the actual source of the Carolina Gold could have been from somewhere other than West Africa and thus might have had no direct connection with the slave trade or with foodstuffs purchased by slave-trading ship captains in West Africa (although the role of slaves in cultivating rice in the Western Hemisphere is pretty well established).

Why did Europe not buy the rice directly from Africa? Shipping costs would be much less.
And yes, I too, have noticed the confusion regarding the United States and British Crown Colonies. This became apparent to me when the State of Massachusetts felt compelled to apologise for the Salem Witch Trials - crimes which occured in a British Crown Colony, NOT the United States.
I took a tour of a plantation this past fall when I was in SC for a visit and they told us of the history of rice and it's connection to slavery.
Apparently, rice was a staple in Africa and a sign of status. The Africans who were captured and sold as slaves, hid the rice in their hair and grew it when they arrived. They approached the slave owners about growing their own food, which the slave owners certainly didn't object to, and using their knowledge of rice cultivation, built some impressive rice paddies.
It makes for a compelling story, but I wonder whether there is actually documentary evidence to back it up, or whether it is an apocryphal tale...
that was very good..lol
that seems like Middle Passage myth
what would be more plausible and give blacks something to be proud of and whites something to feel good guilt about would be to say that the "slaves inherent knowledge of rice cultivation was a boon for the Americas and that we still benefit from that today"
but then someone would say.....that it wasn't good because then we needed more slaves thus feeding the slave trade and worst now most rice is grown in Arkansas by slave descendent's ...coincidentally the same state where Anti-Christ number one Bill Clinton came from and now is also home to Anti-Christ number two....Mike Huckabee
on second thought...maybe we should stick with your story..lol
If Libs have their way.
We went on a tour of the plantation and took a buggy ride past the old rice paddies. Very impressive feats of engineering as far as leveling the land and irrigation.
The story was that rice was so much a part of their culture and livelihood and that status of it was what motivated them to smuggle the rice.
It was apparently the beginning of the rice industry. Clearly, the slaves had the knowhow, and the rice had to come from somewhere. Maybe some SC FReepers know more.
The thing that gives it some plausibility, was that the slaves supposedly grew it to feed themselves and after that the slave owners realized what a market they had there. The original intent was not that the slaves grew it for the market, but that it was more of a serendipity kind of thing for the slave owners.
South Carolina public television is currently filming a documentary about this subject. It will air sometime next spring and will be titled "The Golden Age of Rice: The Story of Carolina Gold Rice." Anna McClung who is quoted in this article will be interviewed for the film and will also narrate part of it.
Of course it's true. You've heard of 'lice', haven't you? Africans invented that too.
Once in the colonies, slaves grew leftover rice in their own garden plots for food.
This I am impressed with. I've tried for years. Go to the store, buy some Uncle Bens, pour it in the garden next to the corn, water, sun, blah, blah, and...nothing. Maybe I should go to West Africa and hire one of these guys.
Rice was a common crop in parts of Europe by medieval times. It's cultivation did not originate in Africa but most likely in India. The ship from Madagascar in 1685 brought rice as a part of it's cargo and the captain of the ship gave rice as payment for the repairs done to his ship. In all likelyhood other variations of rice were also brought by other settlers during the 200 year period of settlement that preceded this event.
Having said all this, I am equally disgusted by the mockery I continue to read, on many threads about the past treatment of African slaves brought to this country. This should never have been done. I condemn those in Africa who sold their own people (as well as enslaved them themselves) as well as those persons and business owners who had no objection to enslaving others to provide them with lifes of comparative ease and/or to increase their own profits.
Such people and business owners continue to exist in our own society today: it is now the illegal aliens who are treated as slaves, much as I find their presence here disgusting, as they are lawbreakers who receive benefits to which they are not entitled.
Having said that.....I came upon the following article (I don't know who the writer is, or his bent, and have not throughly read the entire piece), which I found interesting:
During its experimental stage, planters grew rice primarily in river swamps around Charles Town. In 1700, they exported 330 tons of rice from Charles Town to England and the West Indies. Edward Randolph, Collector of Customs for the Southern Department of North America, wrote a letter to the same board explaining, "They have now found out the true way of raising and husking Rice. There has been above 300 Tons shipped this year to England besides about 30 Tons more to the Islands." During the spring of 1700, the governor of Carolina wrote a letter to the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantations explaining the problems that Carolina experienced due to the overproduction of rice. He wrote, we "hath made more rice ye Last Cropp then we have Ships to Transport." [NOTE: there is no mention that slaves caused or created such rice productions or technology by this point]
By the 1730s, the major influx of slaves into South Carolina was from the west coast of Africa. Planters preferred Africans from Angola, the Gambia River area, the Windward Coast and the Gold Coast, although some slaves, mostly prisoners of inter-tribal warfare, came from as far as 700 miles into the interior of the Africa. In the coastal regions, rice growing had been a dominant part of African culture since 1500 BC. Tribal members "recruited" and sold most of the slaves for trade with Europeans. The most common reasons for selling tribal members to the Europeans were for offenses against society, such as murder or theft, offenses against the king, or even personal or tribal misfortunes such as indebtedness or tribal famine. Slave brokers, along the coastal regions of Africa, often trained future slaves in rice fields similar to those in which they would work in the new world. The sale of human lives was profitable for African tribal kings and the European traders as well as the colonial planters.
By 1730, two-thirds of South Carolina's population was slaves...
It was a plantation on the coast near Charleston that we visited. They did say the rice was grown by the know how of the slaves. The only real difference between the accounts seems to be how the rice trade started.
What we were told is that the slaves grew it to feed themselves (with the permission of the slave holder) and later the slave holders discovered what a gold mine it was. Supposedly the slaves were brought over for other purposes than rice production.
Damn, and here I was thinking America was built on okra.
Aunt Jemimah's done it again...
Interesting, metmom. I think I'll be putting that on my list of things to investigate/research...very soon.
All you need to grow rice is a swamp and a whole lot of seeds;
From a search:
African and Asian types of rice are grown in two ways depending on the location and climate where it was planted. There are two types of growing rice in certain parts of the country.One of it is called lowland rice. This requires rice being grown in flooded plains called paddies so its roots could be able to make use of the nutrient content from the water it was planted in. Paddy rice farmers usually plant the seeds first in little seedbeds and transfer them into flooded fields which were already plowed. Other highly-developed countries plant the seeds using a drill in fields already levelled mechanically. Afterwards,it is flooded either by rainwater or by irrigation.
If only the Africans who never left home could do as well:
The plantation we visited is called Middleton Place. ( just happened to find the brochures from the tour we took)
Not *Gone With the Wind*, for sure....
no, lol....not at all! The "master's" house was nothing elaborate, though, either.
probably one of the Ball's......I have a book on them...and their many slaves
maybe the best slave history to be found
We've visited there and heard the same stories. The slaves brought the rice and knowledge. After there was no slave labor it was no longer possible to grow the rice profitably.
Oh great, one more thing to feel guilty about.
"You've heard of 'lice', haven't you? Africans invented that too."
FYI, blacks rarely if ever get head lice (pediculus capitas).
Rice. Lice. It was a joke.
Sorry, being in a lice territory that grows rice there are still a lot of folks that don't know that.
So.....why didn't the west Africans sail to the colonies, enslave a bunch of crackers, and take them back to west Africa to work on their own rice plantations??

Correct. This same line of reasoning is used to condemn the US for the Salem Witch Trials, which occurred in 1692, many years before the founding of the US. Differences between British Crown Colonies and the US of A are intentionally blurred...
There are a few things questionable about this, above and beyond the anachronism of placing the United States into 1685.
Rice that keeps well, that stores and does not spoil, is so-called white rice. The husk and outer bran layer has been removed. Ship stores would likely have been white rice as a result. It will not germinate.
I have no problem with the idea that rice or several other foods associated with the south have ultimately African origins, having been brought over by individuals desinted for slavery. Okra and yams are two others.
But, this is somehow convoluted. If it was brought it was brought to plant, concealed on their persons. The legendary route told to tourists on plantation tours sounds far more plausible, but plagiarizing a brochure isn't the route to grant money I guess, speaking of routes.
That's what the article says but that's not what 'they' want it to mean.
What a strange and screwed up world we live in.
And how did the slaves know where they were going, and where did they get the foresight to know that rice would be useful once they got there?
Well, in the Low Country (God's Own Country!), fortunes were built on rice, indigo, and cotton.
I don't think shipping costs from Africa to Europe would have been lower than from the Carolinas to Europe.
Sailing directly back to Europe from Africa means sailing against the Gulf Stream. Sailing vessels from the Carolinas would follow the Gulf Stream up the East Coast and across the Atlantic.

Two of our fashion fail offenders this week come straight from the Star Trek Into The Darkness premiere, Zoe Saldana and Jennifer Morrison. Zoe's nude and sheer dress looks like it would be better suited for an ice rink, and Jennifer's beaded pantsuit equals camel toe! We were so excited to see Jaime King's baby bump, but disguising the figure in a clown suit is a major no! Last but not least, Kelly Osbourne. She may play a style expert but everyone knows a robe will never pass as a dress...ever!

Does anyone have a positive experience trying to go veggie? And can you have milk,cheese and eggs and still be veggie?
My teenage daughter recently gave being veggie a try, it is'nt going to well. She is constantly starving and craving the worst stuff.
I bought her veggie protien and salad stuff and tried to limit everyone else's meat consumption around her. But she just needs protien.
I tried to eat veggie with her for a weekend when her dad was out of town, I felt awful. I was not able to feel satisfied and kept eating breads and snacks. We made salad for dinner and I just crashed at about 9:00 pm. I made an egg with cheese and after about 20 minutes my headache went away.
Is it like smoking and trying to go cold turkey? I can appreciate the sympathy for animals. I have a great respect for nature and how the circle of life works (when not interupted by constant expand of civilization).
Not only are we spending new money on stuff that no one likes to eat. (wasting growing resourses) The mood swings and weight gain from constantly trying to satisfy what our bodies need is not having a positive effect in our household either.
I recently read that a mostly veggie diet with small portions of chicken/eggs is better for the environment due to the need for optimal soil and constant farming involved in sustaining the all veggie diet. All veggie diets are supposed to be better than diets heavy in red meat though. Cows eating up stuff and then the processing and shipping. Chickens are supposed to be more earth friendly (just pick the free range that get to run around and eat as they want. not the force fed antibiotic ones)
I was raised on a farm and the guys always hunted (it is better for the deer popultaion to be thinned out each year otherwise many of them starve to death from lack of food). We never felt bad about eating our meals because we put the work into obtaining the nourishment and only took what we needed. It is processed meat that is big business that I boycott. When I do buy meats I try to choose the most healthy alternatives that are raised and processed most naturally. The cheapest stuff on the shelves at the local market is something I try to avoid.
I for one accept that everyone has different needs and ideas. But as for me...veggie just doesn't work. So once in while I'll have a burger or share a steak with someone. But I never eat meat to excess and like anything in life, moderation is the key.
If anyone has helpful ideas I do wish to support my daughter even if I can't join the cause personally.

Just signed up here this past week. I've been a tea drinker my entire life, was one of those things my mom and I always did growing up (we both seem to have some kind of sensitivity to coffee, makes us both sick).
Been really getting into the loose leaf teas over the last couple years though, and recently discovered a love for Lapsang Souchong, as well as ti kuan yin oolong. Trying to learn more about how to get the most out of the teas as they are worth more attention than a simple cup of tetley lol.
Currently REALLY interested in finding myself a gaiwan to brew my oolong in just a matter of finding the right one. Anyone notice how rare it is to find yellow teaware that doesn't have the colour on the INSIDE of the cups? How's one supposed to admire the colour of the liquor? geesh
anyway, thought I'd say hi

This way, soon, we'll have a 16GB RAM standard in every computer.
Samsung Electronics said that it had developed a 8GB registered dual inline memory module (RDIMM) based on its advanced Green DDR3 DRAM. The new memory module, which has just been successfully tested by major Samsung customers, delivers superior performance, in particular because of its use of a three-dimensional (3D) chip stacking technology referred to as through silicon via (TSV).
The 8GB RDIMM utilizing Samsung's 3D TSV technology saves up to 40% of the power consumed by a conventional RDIMM. Also, the TSV technology allows for a dramatic improvement in memory chip density that is expected to offset the decrease of memory sockets in next generation server systems. In the face of a 30% decrease in memory slots in next-generation servers, the TSV technology will be able to raise the DRAM density by more than 50%, making it highly attractive for high-density, high-performance server systems.
The TSV technology is a key to solving the paradox of driving lower power consumption in servers, while increasing memory capacity and improving performance.
The TSV technology fabricates micron-sized holes through the silicon vertically, with a copper filling. By using the 'through silicon via' bonding process instead of conventional wire bonding, signal lines are shortened significantly, enabling the multi-stacked chip to function at levels comparable to a single silicon chip.
Already passing customer performance tests, Samsung is readying its TSV technology for a variety of server applications having stringent performance and power demands.
Increasingly widespread adoption of the 3D TSV technology is expected to take place from 2012. Samsung plans to apply the higher performance and lower power features of its TSV technology to 30nm-class and finer process nodes.
"Our 40nm-class RDIMM being announced today marks the introduction of a more advanced eco-friendly 'Green Memory' product line up utilizing 3D-TSV technology that is expected to enhance the leadership of Samsung and our allies in server and enterprise storage," said Dr. Chang-Hyun Kim, senior vice president and Samsung fellow, memory product planning & application engineering at Samsung Electronics.

Richard Eberling and the Sheppard Case
At the time of the Sheppard murder, twenty-five-year-old Richard Eberling operated a small company called Dick's Window Cleaning. Among his company's clients were Marilyn and Sam Sheppard. Eberling, by his own account, barely knew Sam , but developed a fairly close relationship with Marilyn Sheppard. He recalled having brownies and milk with Marilyn and Chip in the Sheppard home. His comments also suggest he found Marilyn sexually attractive: "Oh, she had that California look. Tight little brief shorts and a very little blouse. She was immaculate, all in white."
In 1959, Eberling was arrested for larceny after a client of his reported money stolen and suggested him as the likely criminal. A search of Eberling's home turned up wads of cash and jewelry. Among the items recovered by police was a cocktail ring owned by Marilyn Sheppard. During questioning following his arrest, police asked--playing a hunch, perhaps--why his blood was found in the Sheppard home following Marilyn's murder (in fact, his blood had not been found). Much to the surprise of his interrogators, Eberling said that two days before the murder, while washing windows at the Sheppard home, he had cut a finger while installing screen windows. Eberling's answer made police sufficiently suspicious that they pushed him to take a lie detector test and answer questions about the Sheppard murder. Eberling indicated his willingness to do so. In November, Eberling took a polygraph test. His examiner, A. S. Kimball, concluded that Eberling did not show deception when he said that he did not kill Marilyn Sheppard. Later, other polygraph experts reviewing the data would call the results "inconclusive."
In the 1966 re-trial of Sam Sheppard, defense attorney F. Lee Bailey chose not to focus on Eberling as a suspect in the Sheppard murder. A strong believer in polygraph tests, Bailey assumed him cleared by virtue of his 1959 test. Instead, Bailey suggested that the murder was probably committed by Sheppard friends, Spencer and Esther Houk--with Esther's motivation being that Marilyn was having an affair with Spencer. Bailey actually called Eberling to the stand as a defense witness in the 1966 trial. Testifying only feet away from Sam Sheppard, Sam never suggested, "That's the man--that's the guy I wrestled with and who knocked me out twelve years ago."
Following a fine and a ninety-day suspended sentence for grand larceny, Eberling made a rather remarkable recovery that would catapult him into Cleveland's social elite. Cleveland's Republican mayor, Ralph Perk, had hired Eberling's partner, Obie Henderson, as a personal assistant. Though Obie's relationship with the mayor, Eberling succeeded in convincing the mayor's wife that she should hire him to decorate her home. Soon Eberling's interior decorating business took off, and he began hosting elaborate parties and landing ever richer clients. In 1973, he won a contract to restore Cleveland's historic City Hall. (By 1977, however, his arrogance had made enemies, and he was fired by new Cleveland mayor--and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate--Dennis Kucinich.)
As would eventually become clear, Eberling's criminal ways had not ended with his arrest for grand larceny in 1959. He committed elaborate insurance fraud. He befrauded elderly women. He even killed.
One person he killed was Ethel May Durkin, an elderly widow. (Some also suspect Eberling in the death of Durkin's sister, Myrtle Fray, who was brutally beaten on the head and strangled in her bed on May 20, 1962--a murder similar in many respects to the Sheppard murder.) In the late-1970s, Eberling became a nurse's aide for Durkin. Over time, Durkin came to trust Eberling and paid him handsomely. Around 1981, Ebrling revealed he was constructing a new will for "the old bat." On November 15, 1983, paramedics raced to the home of Ethel May Durkin to discover her facedown and comatose on her hardwood floor. Eberling, who identified himself as her nephew, told paramedics she had been walking, then fell face forward on to the floor. The nature of her injuries, and what medical evidence suggested was a lengthy delay between the injury and the emergency call, raised suspicion. Eventually, what started as an insurance investigation turned into a murder investigation. Eberling was convicted of forgery, theft, and aggravated murder in July 1989.
Eberling's conviction led to renewed interest in him as the possible murderer of Marilyn Sheppard. Many people suggested that Eberling's background as an illegitimate child who had been abandoned by his parents (he never met his father) fit the profile of someone who might brutally murder a beautiful young woman like Marilyn. Sam's brother, psychiatrist Dr. Steve Sheppard, suggested that Eberling might have released his "violent jealousy" of the successful Sheppard family through his attack on Marilyn.
In the years that followed, persons investigating the Sheppard case, such as James Neff, author of The Wrong Man, spent many hours interviewing Eberling in the hopes of gaining a confession to the Sheppard killing. Ultimately, he would disappoint, but some of his remarks might be seen as tantalizingly close to admissions of guilt. Neff reported, for example, that Eberling said he "fully expected" to be convicted of murdering Marilyn back in 1954. He complained that Sam Sheppard, who he called "a prick," ignored him. Most tellingly, Neff contends, Eberling, in an interview conducted shortly before his death in prison in 1998, described finding himself in the bloody bedroom of Marilyn Sheppard: "My God, I had never seen anything like it. I got out of there."
Despite the suspicion raised by Eberling's comments on the Sheppard case, and despite evidence produced by experts hired in Sam Sheppard's wrongful imprisonment suit suggesting a likelihood of Eberling's blood being present on the closet door next to the bloody Marilyn Sheppard, a civil jury in Cleveland in 2000 found for the county and against Sheppard. The jury, it seemed, still believed Sam Sheppard to be the more likely killer.

Last night, I was putting some vanilla ice cream into a mug right next to a tea pot that had been brewing a late steep of aged baozhong for an hour of so. I poured out the tea and it tasted fantastic -- like it tasted on the first steep: rich, with a candy-like sweetness. I spontaneously decided to pour the 100ml over the top of my ice cream. It froze a light brown, crunchy tea-skin over the dessert. It was fantastic.
Most of us have had matcha or "green tea" ice cream at some point. This was different, but every bit as good, if not better.
I think the key was the type of tea and the vanilla flavored ice cream. I doubt it would be as good with chocolate or certain other flavors. Some of the older baozhongs that were originally somewhat roasted have that candy-like taste which complimented dessert very well. Next time I make home-made ice cream, I'm going to try to include this in the recipe instead of pouring it over the top.
