GROUNDSMEN: Seminar Day this month at Hove01-Feb-2013
We are pleased to announce that in partnership with Dennis and Sisis, of the Howardson Group, Sussex County Cricket Club will be hosting a Groundsman's Seminar Day at The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground on the Thursday 28th February 2013.
The three previous seminar days held at Uxbridge CC, Essex CCC and the SWALEC stadium have all been hugely successful and we are looking to emulate this while at the same time adding our own unique Sussex CCC twist. The day will take place in the Boundary Rooms and as well as an exciting guest list of speakers, those attending will get a chance to trample the Hove turf and view our exemplary machinery 'sheds'.
Andy Mackay, Head Groundsman at Sussex County Cricket Club said: "I'm really pleased to be hosting this day with Dennis mowers and Sisis Equipment. I was a guest speaker at the Chelmsford event twelve months ago and was really impressed and enthused by what I saw there.
"I've worked with our sponsors on many occasions in the past and am really pleased with the way our relationship has developed and the service they offer so when the opportunity to host such an event came up I jumped at the chance. For me, the whole point of the day is to draw together as many groundsmen as possible, from all walks of cricket life, put them in the same room with some exciting speakers and light the touch-paper.
"As groundsmen we often don't get the opportunity to knock heads together very often and days like this can be very rewarding for all concerned. All groundsmen working at all levels of the game, be they volunteer or professional, part time or fulltime, village ground hero or Test Match supremo, all lose sleep over the same sort of issues so it is right that we can get together, rub shoulders and eat cake together occasionally."
The day is free to attend for all Club Groundsmen or Club representatives, and while all others are very welcome they may be asked to pay a £25 fee to cover costs. Anyone wishing to attend should contact Roger Moore at email@example.com or for more information contact Andy Mackay via firstname.lastname@example.com

There are some sports in the Maccabiah pantheon that Canadians excel at – think hockey, softball, baseball, even judo and tennis.
But what about cricket? The confusing, can't make heads-or-tails contest in which a "square cut" at an "overpitched googly" can get you "stumped," just before the batsman is "dismissed"?
Yes, that game.
Well, "bumper"!
It turns out Canada does indeed have plans to field a cricket team at this summer's Maccabiah Games in Israel. The team consists largely of immigrants from India, South Africa and other hot climate countries, who brought their cricket skills with them.
Emmanuel Joseph is coaching the team, which will join Great Britain, Israel, South Africa and Australia in vying for a medal. A native of Mumbai, India, Joseph played on the Indian team at the 1985 and 1989 Maccabiah Games. He wants the younger generation of local cricketers to experience what he did – participation in the "Jewish Olympics."
"The Maccabiah Games has always been my dream," he said. "I know what it is to be Jewish and [compete] at the Maccabiah Games. I know what it means, and it's the dream of the boys as well. It's been my dream since 1993."
That was the year Joseph immigrated to Canada. Moving to a country where cricket is pretty much an exotic foreign sport didn't mean he had to give it up. Soon after his arrival, he played at the Toronto Cricket Club, where he attempted to put together a Jewish team that he hoped would compete in the 1993 Games.
Though that effort didn't pan out, he took the long view and kept the idea in the back of his mind.
About 2-1/2 years ago, Joseph brought together some of the local Jewish players into a team called the Pioneer Cricket Club.
"The guys got together and said, 'We've got a lot of Jewish players here, why don't we put together a team,'" Joseph recounted.
The name was chosen because, "I felt we were pioneers to do something big, to represent Canada for the first time at the Maccabiah Games," he explained.
The town of Stouffville provided them a "home field" on Bethesda Road, and during the winter months, the team practises indoors
The 13 guys on the team play in the Markham League in mostly friendly matches and they work out regularly.
When he approached Maccabi Canada president Tom Bacher with the suggestion that the organization should sanction a cricket team to the 2013 Games, he was given a green light – with the proviso that the group raise the $8,300 a player needed to send them to Israel.
That has proven a difficult task – far more difficult than recruiting a competitive team, Joseph said.
Right now, the team has accumulated something like $3,600 a player, and that includes guys taking out loans and using their credit cards.
They've held a few fundraisers, but Joseph admits they're new to that endeavour and are learning about it on the fly.
"It's a concern right now, but the athletes are working hard right now," he said. "This is a dream come true for the athletes. This is going to be big for them personally, for Canada, and for the Bene Israel community."
The Bene Israel, or sons of Israel, is the name for the Jews of India. The people trace their origins to members of a tribe of Israel who washed up on the shore of the Kokan region in an ancient shipwreck.
"The Bene Israel have been in India for a very, very long time," Joseph said.
In recent years, many have immigrated to North America and Israel, but 15,000 to 20,000 remain in India, he said.
Like others in the subcontinent, the Bene Israel took to cricket, and the local squad has plenty of skill to represent Canada ably, he said.
For more information, Joseph can be reached at email@example.com.

Links between trafficking in illicit goods and organized crime focus of INTERPOL meeting
LYON, France – Some 40 law enforcement and private sector representatives from 13 countries have met at INTERPOL's General Secretariat headquarters to discuss links between illicit trade and organized crime.
In this respect, INTERPOL's Organized Crime Research Assessment Meeting (10 January) in particular served as a platform for INTERPOL to produce a casebook illustrating the links between the manufacture and distribution of illicit goods and transnational organized crime groups, as well as any potential links to terrorism. The casebook will rely on some 25 to 30 case studies where links to organized crime are proven beyond reasonable doubt.
"We have a responsibility in ensuring that policy makers in government and chief police officers know the scale of transnational organized crime that takes place on a national, regional and worldwide basis to assist them in informed decision making. This applies equally to private sector entities that are threatened by organized crime ‒ especially concerning all aspects of trafficking in illicit goods," said INTERPOL Executive Director of Police Services Jean-Michel Louboutin.
The audience heard that INTERPOL's mission is to facilitate cross-border police cooperation, and supporting and assisting all organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime.
"At the very centre of this mission is the need to work with all stakeholders to combat transnational organized crime in all its forms as INTERPOL is uniquely able to bridge the gap between all stakeholders," added Mr Louboutin.
INTERPOL's Trafficking in Illicit Goods programme, launched in 2012 seeks to identify, disrupt and dismantle the transnational organized networks behind this crime.
Its activities in this respect revolve around three areas: operations, training and development of databases to help analyse trends and better target INTERPOL's on-the-ground interventions in partnership with police, customs, regulatory bodies and the private sector.

In the competitive white-knuckled world of small business enterprise, where mission-critical events can threaten a company's very survival on a daily basis, there remains a short list of seminal decisions that stand out above the rest. Aside from launching the company and terminating the company, perhaps the next most important decision for a business owner is agreeing to accept outside investment from a private equity firm. The decision to engage private equity investors is significant because it runs counter to so many other decisions that have come before and have defined the company up to this point. For starters — and perhaps most importantly — partnering with private equity investors fundamentally changes the control structure of the company. In this transaction, the founder will typically concede complete or majority ownership to investors, in exchange for a sizeable cash payout and a stake in the newly structured company. The challenge for business owners is that once this transaction is complete, for the first time in the life of the company, the founder will no longer have a controlling interest in their own business. While this decision may have been made "for all the right reasons," and clearly represents the best strategic choice from an intellectual perspective, there is no getting around the emotional issues that must be addressed and reconciled if this transition is to be successful. The fact is, having a strong emotional reaction to conceding control is an appropriate and even healthy response, as it demonstrates just how passionate and committed an entrepreneur is to his or her company. Lingering emotional attachment is further proof of this reality. Experienced private equity investors have grown to expect this kind of reaction, and the savvy ones have begun structuring their agreements to capitalize on it. By creating incentives for the entrepreneur to remain emotionally engaged in growing and expanding the company, private equity firms are able to retain the valuable leadership, momentum and drive of the original founder (even though their holdings have been reduced to that of a minority owner), and create a true win-win for both stakeholders. In addition to the financial mechanics of transitioning control, the decision to proceed with private equity investment also touches on several other less obvious considerations. For example, for many "Type A" entrepreneurs, the decision to accept the assistance of outside investment could feel like a crutch, like they are admitting defeat, or failure, or conceding that they simply couldn't do it on their own. Obviously this is not the case, but for hard-charging entrepreneurs it's easy to understand where these feelings might originate. Entreprenuers who successfully navigate the complex process and emotional whirlwind associated with private equity investment are the ones who take the time to evaluate all of the pros and cons, and ultimately make a pragmatically informed decision with their eyes wide open. Rather than denying the mental and emotional issues that come with a decision of this magnitude, they embrace all of its ramifications and choose to frame the decision — the "win" — on their terms. For many, this means exchanging control of their company for control of their life, a situation enabled by the injection of a forgotten luxury called "free time," made possible by the addition of partners and strategic hires brought in to help shoulder the management load. And for most, it means returning to their first love, remembering the reason they went into business in the first place, and rediscovering the simple joy of doing that one thing that makes work feel like play.

Each week we scour the web for insightful articles to share with the Founder Institute network.
This week's top articles include tips for decoding a term sheet, how to transform your business, how to get everything you want, and more.
Check out our must read articles for the week of June 23rd - June 30th:
|Entrepreneurs Get Better With Age
|In today's world, there is still a bias against older people — employers in particular often think (in their mind) what Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary is fond of saying to entrepreneurs he doesn't like, "You are dead to me." If we're being honest, we probably agree with O'Leary. Who of us hasn't said, "I'm looking for someone young and hungry." The implication is clear: If you aren't young, you have nothing to contribute.
|Disrupt Your Thinking, Transform Your Business
|Plenty of entrepreneurs claim that they are "disrupting" their industry. But, Luke Williams, a professor of innovation at NYU Stern School of Business and author of Disrupt (FT Press, 2010), says most companies deal only in incremental changes that support their current business model -- and that's not enough.
|How to Get Everything You Want. Seriously.
|Getting what you want in your career and in life isn't as difficult as it may seem. I mean it. I've been very fortunate, both professionally and personally, and along the way learned seven key ways to help make it happen. In essence, I work to put others first, and to be more likeable, to end up with what I want in everything I do.
|How to Decode a Term Sheet
|Unless you did a stint in law school before founding your company it's likely you speak English, not legalese, which may cause problems when you're handed your first term sheet by a venture capitalist.

Eurozone interest rates were slashed to 0.05% today in the latest bid to breathe new life into the continent's moribund economy amid the threat of a deflationary spiral.
The European Central Bank (ECB), led by Mario Draghi, came under pressure to act after inflation sunk to 0.3% last month.
Meanwhile, growth across the 18-nation bloc had ground to a halt in the second quarter as fears over the Ukraine crisis hit confidence.
The ECB had already cut interest rates from 0.25% to 0.15% in June but has now decided that even stronger medicine is needed, as it cut growth forecasts for this year and next.
It also cut the overnight deposit rate for lenders that hold money with it to -0.2% - a rate that had already been slashed below zero to -0.1%.
Mr Draghi said that in addition, the bank would start a new stimulus programme buying asset-backed securities.
The decision saw the euro plunge by nearly 1% against the US dollar while sterling climbed a cent against the single currency.
It came as the Bank of England left interest rates on hold at the UK's "emergency" rate of 0.5% and kept the quantitative easing scheme pumping £375 billion into the economy at the same level, despite the UK's accelerating growth.
Two members of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) have already voted to start raising rates, with the risk of growth bringing inflationary pressures further down the track in mind.
But the eurozone's woes are likely to have been among the risk factors cited by those arguing in favour of leaving them on hold at 0.5% - with the eurozone the UK's biggest trading partner.
Expectations of the timing of a UK hike have been dampened by weak wage growth - now seen as a central factor in rates decisions by the bank - with next February now seen as the most likely date.
A rise would put pressure on household finances, with a 0.25% hike likely to translate to an annual increase of £250 on a typical mortgage, though it would offer a fillip to savers who have been hammered by 0.5% rates since early 2009.
Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY ITEM Club, said: "The case for leaving rates on hold for a few more months hasn't lost its strength.
"If anything, following today's decision by the ECB to cut borrowing costs, it has arguably been reinforced."
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said the ECB move showed just how worried it was about the economy.
"Until very recently, the ECB had seemed minded to hold off from taking any further stimulative action before the end of 2014," he said.
"However, the ECB's hand has clearly been forced by a further fall in eurozone consumer price inflation to just 0.3% in August, weakening inflation expectations and evidence that already weak eurozone economic activity was faltering."
The ECB's new programme of buying securities, with the purchase of financial bonds, will start next month.
Mr Draghi said: "These decisions will add to the range of monetary policy measures taken over recent months.
"In our analysis, we took into account the overall subdued outlook for inflation, the weakening in the euro area's growth momentum over the recent past and the continued subdued monetary and credit dynamics.
"As our measures work their way through to the economy they will contribute to a return of inflation rates to levels closer to 2%."
The measures fell short of some expectations that the ECB would start buying government bonds - in the way that the US and UK have done through their quantitative easing (QE) programmes
QE has so far been resisted by Europe and could prove politically difficult in a country made up of 18 different member states.
However Mr Draghi said that should the risk of a prolonged period of low inflation prove it necessary, ECB policy makers were united in their commitment to "using additional unconventional instruments within its mandate".
The bank cut expectations for eurozone gross domestic product growth this year to 0.9% and for next year to 1.6%, though upped its forecast for 2016 to 1.9%.
Mr Draghi warned that the loss of economic momentum could dampen private investment while international turmoil in Ukraine and the Middle East could have a further negative impact on business and consumer confidence.
Another risk related to "insufficient structural reforms in euro area countries", he added.
He said inflation had "now remained low for a considerable period of time" and was expected to remain at low levels for coming months. The ECB projection for this year has been revised down to 0.6%.

My grandparents grew up in the Depression. And like many people who came of age during that time, they are extremely frugal and reuse everything. Foil, Ziplock bags, plastic containers, glass jars, clothes, and anything else they can figure out a way to make last longer than its expected lifetime. If you're riding in the car and you get thirsty, Grandpa will hand you an old syrup bottle filled with water. If Grandma sends me a pecan pie, it's sealed in a Ziplock bag that has also held vegetables, meat and cheese in its long life. You get the idea. And I am not mocking them, I think these are fine traits and in respect to my elders, I also reuse everything at least once. I have a cupboard filled with Chinese-takeout containers that I use to store leftovers--I haven't had the urge to attend a Tupperware party in years. And even though as a kid I was always embarrassed that the foil wrapped around my soda on field-trip day was wrinkled from many uses (the other kids always had smooth, shiny foil wrapped around their cans), as a frugal grown-up I reuse foil until it has holes in it, which can take a long time, it being metal and all.
But one of the finest reusable goods comes from a pig. Until I started cooking on my own, I always thought it silly that my mom and grandma poured bacon grease into a jar instead of just dumping it down the sink. They always said you couldn't throw grease down the sink because it would mess up the pipes. This may be true, I don't know. But the real reason they saved the bacon grease is this: because it is the number-one secret ingredient you can use in certain dishes. I spoon it into beans, use a little when frying up eggs or steak, fold a bit into my biscuit dough, sizzle it up for my cornbread, drop a spoonful into my marinara sauce, toss a dollop in my cooked vegetables—anytime I need a little pork pick-me-up, nothing is easier than reaching into my jar of bacon honey (um, yeah, I realize that sounds kind of gross) and adding a pure shot of flavorful delight. I don't know what it is about the stuff, but it's amazing how so little can add so much luscious, velvety goodness to a dish. It's not for everything, of course, but when it's used well it easily lifts the mundane into the sublime.
If you don't have already have a jar on hand and you cook bacon, next time you fry up a skillet, after the grease cools (wait at least half an hour) pour it into a container. I use an old mason jar, but you can use plastic, too. The key is to make sure it's at least room temperature or your container will either explode or melt. Store it in a cool place and it will last a long time. Don't become frustrated if at first it doesn't look like much. Just keep cooking bacon and you'll soon have a substantial sum. And be sure and scrape the pan for the bacon bits, they add even more flavor.
Do you use use bacon grease? If you do, what dishes do you enhance with its scrumptiousness?

oh sister, this is MY kind of post. I keep bacon grease as well, a trait handed down from my mother, from her mother and her mother before her. probably before that as well. mine is in an old coffee can and rests in the fridge until ready for use.
my favorite uses for bacon grease:
i fry eggs in butter and bacon grease - unbelievable. i love to sop up the plate with buttered toast.
i add a dollop (generous) to mashed potatoes - it's incredible if you've never had it. add it after the potatoes are mashed but still hot - any little bacon bits that might make their way into the potatoes are a welcomed delight.
i love to fry thick slices of garden tomato in bacon grease - that's a depression era treat according to my grandparents, and i love it.
and most importantly, i use it to make gravy. some people use butter and flour to make their roux; i use bacon grease and flour. makes all the difference in the world. best. gravy. ever. and completely suited for homemade biscuits...
this must be why i'm not skinny.

Hi Homesick,
We love bacon fat here. And if you pour it down the drain, it will solidify and block up your pipes something awful.
Just made corn chowder last night with a piece of pancetta and some additional bacon fat. Yummmmm.
- Homesick Texan said...
Elise, I love your site! And adding bacon fat to corn chowder sounds delish.
Melissa, I love that you keep it in an old coffee can--that's how my mom stores hers. It's indeed excellent in mashed potatoes. I'll sizzle some minced garlic in bacon grease and then fold it into the mash along with the ton of butter and half and half (yes, not cream--I have to cut back on the calories some place). I'll have to try the tomatoes while their still in season.

I always save my bacon grease and use it for all kinds of different things. The last time I used it was for skillet cornbread (my first time making it by the way!).
- Tuba Slim said...
Mmmm... Bacon honey....
Sweet Baconey Jesus, this post makes me sad I married a vegetarian.
- Nathan Jernigan said...
I cooked with it a couple times, and then told "Uncle Richard" about it and he told me it was really bad for me, and that people don't do that anymore, so I threw my jar out = but this blog just validated its use - does it ever go bad?
- Homesick Texan said...
Nathan, I'm not going to say it's good for you, but it tastes delicious, and as you can see from the comments section, people do still use it. I've never had it go bad on me, but that's because I use it on a regular basis. Just keep it in a cool place so it won't go rancid.
- Danielle said...
I really like that photo of the spoonful of bacon grease!
- Homesick Texan said...
Danielle: Thanks! I used a honey spoon to go with my "bacon honey" description.

Parboil potatoes cut into equal size chunks ~ when cool enough to handle, score each side with the tines of a fork and roll slowly and carefully in melted bacon grease in an ovenproof dish. Generously season with sea salt & cracked pepper. Bake at 400 degrees about 1 hour, turning every 15 minutes or so until beautifully gold on the outside ~ they will be soft on the inside. OMG. A delicious slice of life. I used to room with 2 vegetarians, would make these potatoes without divulging the "secret" ingredient ... they loved them, and no, I didn't feel guilty!
- Tammy W said...
Good gracious, girl - you are Texan all the way through the bone! I haven't thought about bacon....drippings (it's too special to call it grease. But I love your 'honey' term for it even more!)in ages. Every relative I can think of had a can of it on their stove. My favorite dish using the drippings was a salad of very finely shredded turnip greens (the fresh leaves), with sliced radishes, salt, pepper, green onion, a splash of vinegar...and warm bacon drippings lightly drizzled over it, then tossed. (I hope there aren't any cardiologists who read SAVE YOUR BACON. I'm sure they ended up dazed and on the floor.)
YOU ARE SPECIAL, HOMESICK TEXAN! A real pleasure to read!
- Mark in toronto said...
Hey, homesick Texan. I buy home rendered pork lard from a Salvadorean food market here in Toronto. I use it to make pie dough and pastry for empanadas, pasteles and I saute onions and garlic in it with a little olive oil when I make chili or bean soups. I just found your blog and am a big fan already. I love all things culinary and Mexican. Cheers, Mark in Toronto

I only read the first two lines and cracked up! We've always said my friend's uncle Stanley never met a mason jar or bread sack he didn't like. We had to clean out his garage after his death. You'd be amazed at the stuff he "saved" to reuse.
- Anonymous said...
I like just a touch of bacon honey (love that terminology!) in my smashed red potatoes. Of course I also put crumbled bacon, sour cream and chives in it.
I'm enjoying the hell out of reading your previous work. So glad I found you!
- Madeline said...
This may sound weird, but as an experiment I made banana bread substituting bacon fat for oil or butter. Crispiest crust ever, super moist inside, not identifiably "bacony" but with an extra depth of flavor.
- Melinda said...
Contrary to popular belief, saturated fat is not bad for you at all. Further explanation here:
I use bacon fat for just about everything. I keep it in metal oatmeal can with a lid. I haven't had any problems pouring it into the can while hot. Haven't tried it with mashed potatoes, though. Sounds good.
- katyjake said...
Here's my favorite thing to put bacon fat into.
Okra, tomatoes, onions, a little bacon grease, a little water, a little cayenne pepper (or favorite pepper). Bring to a slow boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes until veggies are tender.
It's mandatory that it be served with cornbread......made with bacon grease.
Enjoy cooking, enjoy living!
- Rapunzel said...
I am sorry to post a comment a year late, but I just stumbled onto your blog while searching "store bacon grease," LOL! I have a boyfriend who enjoys bacon on the weekend, always pours the grease into a coffee can and I'm wondering: how long does it keep? And what else can I use it for? Well, you sure answered that question! Thank you for the info, and providing me with a new blog to enjoy!
- Anonymous said...
I am a low carber who knows nothing about Texas. I stumbled onto your blog while googling about bacon fat - I was wondering if I could save it and resuse it since it is so flavorful.
THANK YOU for the info. uh, I've poured bacon fat (cooled) down my drain one or two times....hope I won't need a plumber.
- Anonymous said...
I just found this blog looking for shelf life on bacon "honey" which my girlfriend and i collect like busy little bees. We've got enough that we deep fry fish with it.Add a touch of garlic into the mix and ......Oh my mouth is watering, I'll be in the kitchen. Thanks for the blog. Aussie

I know I'm commenting on this late, but oh, bacon grease! I recently started saving mine, as I saw my grandmother do (in a coffee can on the stove, of course!). I like to fry my pancakes in a little bacon grease--it gives them a nice, crispy outer edge. I'm sure my grandmother could tell me countless other uses, though.
I'm from southern Ohio, with both of my sides of my family hailing from Kentucky, but I married a gent from northern Ohio. His mother once told me of a friend who offered her some eggs fried in bacon grease--and she was just HORRIFIED by the very idea of it! She went on and on about how she couldn't believe someone would do that, and didn't I agree? I told her that my family has used bacon grease for lots of things, and that took care of that conversation. I think it solidified me as a "hillbilly" in her mind!

my mom uses it in peas butter beans etc. I just found out after wondering for years y hers was better than mine.

I use bacon grease to make chex mix and it is absolutely delicious, the bacony taste sets it apart from all other chex mix recipes and my whole family loves it!!!

Bacon grease, the best seasoning!
Both of my parents are from the south, Ma- NC/Dad-MS. That's one thing they always used in vegetables! There's something about the bacon that gives your vegetables the ability to transport you back to the times where you were at Grandma's table with wonderful fresh vegetables before you! Mmm... :]

I'm living in Italy, studying "slow food" and I found the re-use of bacon fat comments fascinating. I'm from Canada and my mom always kept--and used--bacon fat. Mmm... but I wonder about what's in that bacon fat in today's world, where the bacon doesn't come from a farm-raised pig, fed scraps, corn and sour milk. Fat is a part of the body that collects a lot of "gunk" re additives, chemicals, etc. Would it be best to use organic bacon if you're going to save the fat and reuse it? Anyone know?
- Anthony said...
does it need to be refrigerated? Ive been storing it under the sink..but have never used it - thanks!
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Anthony--Some people don't refrigerate it but I do.
- Anonymous said...
I just leave my pot of bacon grease by the sink, i've left it out for months and its never gone rancid.. I do use it at least every few weeks, and pour it back into the pot.
Now if you dont use it for a year or something then it might go bad just sitting out.. I read that you should only reuse it once, but I don't know how valid that claim is.
- The Love Family said...
I have always saved my bacon grease as well. Seems like we were raised pretty similarly. We often get leftovers sent home on styrofoam plates (I shudder to think what they held previously) covered by reused foil :)
My grams pies always come out SO amazing, her secret? She brushed the top with just a teeny bit of bacon grease.
- Jude Chao said...
How did I never think of this before? This is GENIUS!!!
- Anonymous said...
Well, 5 years later and people are still reading this post :-D
I cook but don't really use recipes or watch cooking shows - I just improvise. So I had no idea that other people used bacon drippings like this too! haha I cooked bacon, then fried the eggs in the bacon fat afterward and loved it. Then I started sauteing diced bell peppers, onions, garlic, and serrano peppers in bacon fat to use in soups and chili, and even in spaghetti sauce!
Today this finally led me to search to see if there was any reason not to save it and reuse it, and..here I am! Thanks for a good article!

Is it better to comment years late than never? ;)
I don't cook bacon often anymore, but I do always save the grease. I did have it go rancid a time or two quite a few years ago (when I was cooking more bacon, so I was keeping more grease).
Now, to make it last longer, I pour it into a small corningware dish I keep in the refrigerator. If it gets to about half an inch deep before I use it up, I move it to the freezer, and after it hardens cut it into inch squares and drop it into a (probably reused) zip bag that stays in the freezer.

I have an aluminum grease saver can with strainer from way back when. I believe the last time I cleaned it out was a couple of years ago when I used it all up. Before that it had probably 10+ years of bacon history in it. Kept it in the fridge, when I wanted some for taters or such I would heat it on the stove a bit and pour out the spout what I needed. It's never gone bad on me.

Many Casa Solana residents no doubt feel they lost a battle when the Santa Fe City Council voted on Sept. 30 to approve a general plan amendment and zoning changes to move forward a master plan for developing a portion of the city-owned Northwest Quadrant.
At the same time, many La Cienega and other Santa Fe County residents feel they achieved a victory when on Sept. 29 the Santa Fe Board of County Commissioners agreed to purchase 470 acres to prevent the Santa Fe Canyon Ranch development.
But both cases are victories—even for those who feel they lost—and, taken together, constitute a bellwether for land-use policy in the region.
In the first case, more than 700 homes may eventually be built on the remains of a Spanish land grant located northwest of downtown Santa Fe, but sloped toward the 599 bypass route. In the second case, nearly 200 homes will not be built on the vista extending out toward the rim of La Bajada. The city's NWQ development is not technically infill, but it's not so far off, surrounded as it is by other developments, and relative to extending farther out the south side of town. Santa Fe Canyon Ranch would have been sprawl, low-density luxury sprawl, but resource-wasting, eyesore sprawl nonetheless.
Certainly the recent approvals for the NWQ plan are being celebrated by the city staff and members of the privately contracted design team who have toiled on the master plan for the past few years. But amendments suggested by Councilors Rebecca Wurzburger and Matthew Ortiz, as well as Mayor David Coss—three politicians widely known to have favored the plan for some time—won important victories on behalf of opponents to NWQ development. Whatever happens with future development on the property, Casa Solana's sewer lines are prohibited from being used, and a revised plan for ingress and egress must also be determined and approved before shovels turn dirt.
These two issues constitute the crux of neighborhood resistance to the NWQ plan, so the amendments ought to feel like a victory. The real question is why the politicians who Casa Solana residents viewed as enemies on the NWQ issue—Wurzburger, Ortiz and Coss—were the ones to step up to the plate and protect the neighborhood? District 1 Councilors Patti Bushee and Chris Calvert both forcefully opposed the plan—no doubt knowing the likely vote breakdown in advance (everybody else did)—thus winning nothing for the concerned voices from their district. Voters who promised to take their grievances to the polls ought to remember that fact.
What's more, councilors who voted in favor of the NWQ plans have ensured that the potential development will be considered in the Department of Transportation's 599 corridor study. That means, should the development go forward, road interchanges will be eligible for federal funding. That's just responsible foresight, both practically and economically, and it doesn't mean the development has to happen—only that Santa Fe won't be screwed if it does. Additionally, an environmental impact study on groundwater flow will be conducted.
Santa Fe County's move to purchase most of Santa Fe River Canyon's buildable land—and a related deal in which the Trust for Public Land will attempt to facilitate a purchase of additional acreage that would end up under the purview of the Bureau of Land Management—could not have been better timed with the draft release of its new "sustainable land development plan."
The county's plan is chock-full of rhetoric about balancing open space, resources and private-property rights—not always agreeable bedfellows. But the county commissioners have taken a proactive stance that appears to put actions behind the words, even before a final version of the plan is approved. The draft version of the plan can be found at santafecounty.org.
The draft was heard by the County Development Review Committee on Oct.1 and will be revisited Nov. 12, after a succession of four public-input study sessions. The session closest to the City of Santa Fe is scheduled to take place at 6 pm, Oct. 14 in the Santa Fe Community College Board Room. The county commission hopes to have a workable plan in place by early 2010.
Both the county's new land development plan and the city's justification for the NWQ are ripe with similar rhetoric: affordable, diverse neighborhoods; maximum energy efficiency; mixed-use zoning; trails and open space; quality of life. Skeptics are right to wonder if the idealized pictures painted in the plans are achievable in practical execution. And the truth is, both plans will fall short. But the rhetoric isn't new—it's the stew that has been boiling here for a long time and it's time to do something about it. Both plans represent the most progressive shift forward that the populace can tolerate.
In the end, the failures will be small and the successes will be crucial. In other words, everyone wins.
Many Casa Solana residents no doubt feel they lost a battle when the Santa Fe City Council voted on Sept. 30 to approve a general plan amendment and zoning changes to move forward a master plan for developing a portion of the city-owned Northwest Quadrant.

Bill StallBill Stall, who died November 2 at age 71, won two Pulitzer prizes with the Los Angeles Times. The first was a team prize, for spot reporting on the 1994 earthquake in Northridge, California. Stall won an individual Pulitzer in 2004 for his perceptive editorial coverage of complex governmental issues in California.
Bill Stall, who died November 2 at age 71, won two Pulitzer prizes with the Los Angeles Times. The first was a team prize, for spot reporting on the 1994 earthquake in Northridge, California. Stall won an individual Pulitzer in 2004 for his perceptive editorial coverage of complex governmental issues in California.
Bill was a watchdog voice on environmental issues, preservation in Yosemite, and other concerns such as minimizing snowmobile use in Yellowstone. He started climbing around Sacramento, mostly at Tahoe, Lovers' Leap and Sugarloaf, in the late 1960s with his friend Gene Grake.
He and Grake traveled to Yosemite twice a year, joining the company of Warren Harding, Galen Rowell and Chuck Pratt.
In 1970, then reporting for the Associated Press, he watched the first ascent of the Dawn Wall, by Warren Harding and Dean Caldwell, on El Cap. He remembered that during their 27-day push, the climbers communicated by dropping notes down in film canisters.
There was a big controversy over whether they wanted to be rescued, he said from his home in Sacramento, two days before his death. The Park Service said they had officially asked for one. I knew that was not the case and I reported that in my article. The book Camp 4 by Steve Roper notes that the Park Service assembled a large rescue crew atop El Cap. [L]uckily, Roper wrote, an Associated Press reporter, Bill Stall, set the record straight: the Park Service had overreacted and even lied about who had instigated the rescue.
Stall, an American Alpine Club board member for six years, covered the Forest Service's proposed ban on fixed-anchor use in its wilderness areas. In a 1998 editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle, he wrote, The U.S. Forest Service has hardly been a model steward. The agency has tolerated overgrazing of its leased pasturelands, environmental damage from subsidized timber cutting, and degradation of pristine mountain meadows. Now, curiously, the Forest Service has gone to the other extreme.
Also that year he wrote an excellent unsigned Los Angeles Times editorial on preserving Camp 4 in Yosemite. He spoke to then Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt about its historic value, and even sent Babbitt a copy of Camp 4.
As incisive as he was, Stall was calm, thoughtful and gentlemanly, with as true a love of the environment as a sharp curiosity about world affairs. At the end he mailed in an absentee ballot for the Presidential election in case, as it happened, he didn't make it that long.
Asked what climbing had meant in his life, Stall said, When you say freedom of the hills', that says it all.
He died of complications from pulmonary disease.

Emporia State's Talent Search awarded $1.15 millionSeptember 20, 2011
A five-year, $1.15 million grant will help Emporia State University reach out to middle- and high-school students who may face hurdles to pursuing a college education.
The grant is given to ESU's TRIO office for its Talent Search program. TRIO is a term coined to describe three separate federal programs, according to the U.S. Department of Education:
- Upward Bound was born in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 in response to the administrations War on Poverty;
- Talent Search was created in 1965 as part of the Higher Education Act; and
- Student Support Services was authorized in 1968 by amendments to the Higher Education Act.
Since then, the program has expanded to encompass a total of seven programs that include Educational Opportunity Center, Training Program for Federal TRIO Programs, a post-baccalaureate achievement program and Upward Bound Math/Science program.
Project Challenge is a Student Support Services program at the Emporia campus that assists qualified students enrolled full-time at ESU with academic, career, financial and personal matters. It includes free tutorial help in most subjects.
Emporia State also operates two Upward Bound programs. That work with middle- and high-school students.
The grant from the U.S. Department of Education provides at least $230,000 each year for ESU's Talent Search program in which students participate in monthly workshops at their grade levels that include self-discovery, goal-setting, study skills instruction and college and career awareness.
The Talent Search program operates at two sites under the direction of Trudi Benjamin, TRIO coordinator. The main site at Emporia State University works with eligible students in Emporia with Julie Cayton as the director and Jennifer Benjamin as educational specialist. A second site in Leavenworth is staffed by Caleb Tegtmeier, assistant director, and Angela Hendren, educational specialist. The Leavenworth office focuses on schools in Leavenworth and Atchison.
"The offices work with a total of 520 eligible students," said Trudi Benjamin. "Services and activities are offered that stimulate learning and motivation so that students successfully matriculate through middle school into high school then graduate from high school and seek admission to a postsecondary institution.
"Student also receive advice in secondary school course selection, preparation for college entrance exams, assistance in completing college admission and financial aid applications, resources for locating and completing scholarship applications, opportunities for campus visits and to experience cultural events, connection to high-quality academic tutoring, financial literacy instruction, a summer enrichment program and family workshops," Benjamin said.
