Humanscale designs and manufacturers the highest quality CPU holders in the world. CPU holders are valuable ergonomic accessories that make life at your desk simpler and prolong the life of your CPU.
Placed within arm's reach, the hardware of your CPU can now be accessed quickly and easily- no more ducking underneath your desk or pulling your tower out. Most CPU holders pivot or rotate at their attachment point- giving you access to the front and back of your computer tower without having to leave your seat. This functionality also makes cable management much easier. Ergonomically, the CPU holder eliminates the need for unpleasant straining just to access the computer tower underneath the desk.
There are lots of reasons to buy a CPU holder, especially when it's made by Humanscale.
Also, because the CPU holder lifts your computer off the floor, it increases ventilation to it- reducing wear and tear and increasing its lifespan.

Figure 1 illustrates 2-D slices from the 3-D concrete microstructural model for the coarse and fine limits of the fine aggregate particle size distribution. In these images, one can clearly see that the system containing smaller aggregates contains much more paste (blue) within 100 µm of a LWFA surface. In fact, the surface area of the LWFA in the righthand portion of Fig. 1 is about double that of its surface area in the lefthand half of the figure, as is the volume of paste within 100 µm of the LWFA.
The two microstructures are evaluated quantitatively in Figure 2
which shows, for the two aggregate PSDs and volume fractions, the fraction of
the cement paste within a given distance of a LWFA surface. Clearly, to
disperse the water uniformly throughout the microstructure at
a low level of fine aggregate replacement, the surface area of the fine
aggregate (or specifically the saturated LWFA) should be
maximized. Thus, equation (2) provides only a detemination of the bulk
volume of water needed for curing, while the detailed simulation or
equations of Lu and Torquato [6] are needed to ensure that the
majority of the cement paste is near enough to a LWFA surface to benefit from
the available water.
This result is in agreement with the protected
paste volume concept for air voids, which suggests that a finely dispersed
system of small air voids will be superior to one composed of larger
air voids, at equal air contents. In fact, once the water in the
LWFA is consumed by hydration, a system of relatively coarse air voids
should be left behind to aid in freeze/thaw protection. Past studies
have indeed indicated a high durability for lightweight aggregate concrete
exposed to freezing and thawing cycles [17].
For the three replacement levels and two aggregate gradations considered in
this study, the approximations based upon the analytical equations of Lu and
Torquato [6] are seen to estimate quite well the simulation results,
especially at short distances and for complete replacement of the fine
aggregates by their lightweight counterparts. The evaluation of these
equations requires much less computer time than the full 3-D microstructural
model simulation and conveniently provides the fraction of cement paste
within all distances of interest to the user.

A woman was killed after the van she was traveling in struck trees along the 4900 block of Greenland Road Monday morning, Jacksonville police said.
The Nissan van was westbound sometime before 8 a.m. when it veered onto the south shoulder of the road, crashing through a brick mail box and over two curbs at the entrance to the Hindu Society of Northeast Florida before striking two trees.
Witnesses told police the van was traveling at a high speed.
Police said 33-year-old Shai R. Kuruvilla of Switzerland, whom they think was the driver, died.
An unidentified man in the van also was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, said traffic homicide Sgt. Donald Washington. Neither was wearing a seat belt.

Multiple sclerosis findings could help pinpoint cause
By Kathleen Fackelmann, USA TODAY
Gene hunters from the USA and Europe have located two genes that appear to increase the risk of developing multiple sclerosis, studies released Sunday show.
The findings are widely expected to help scientists figure out what causes MS, a baffling disease of the central nervous system that afflicts about 350,000 people in the USA. The hope is that new knowledge will lead to the development of more targeted treatments, says Jonathan Haines, director of the Center for Human Genetics Research at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
"We've been trying to identify the genetic basis of MS for a long time," Haines says. Researchers discovered one gene in the 1970s called HLA (human leukocyte antigen) that raises the risk of developing MS, and they knew that other genes probably play a role, he says.
But the intense search to find them has been disappointing until now.
In the July 29 online edition of Nature Genetics, Haines and his colleagues pored over previous studies to identify genes that appeared to have a role in the disease. They then collected blood from more than 10,000 people, MS patients and healthy subjects alike.
The DNA was extracted from the samples, and researchers homed in on suspect genes. They found that a variation in the interleukin 7 receptor gene increased the risk of developing MS by 20% to 30%.
A second study in Nature Genetics confirmed that finding.
A person who inherits this gene variation, however, isn't guaranteed to get MS, Haines says. To actually get the disease, people probably need to inherit other genes that put them at higher risk, says study co-author Margaret Pericak-Vance of the University of Miami School of Medicine. In addition, the disease might require a trigger such as exposure to a virus, says John Richert of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in New York.
David Hafler of the Harvard Medical School and an international consortium of researchers also identified the interleukin 7 receptor gene as a risk factor for MS. But Hafler's team identified a second gene that might play a role: the interleukin 2 receptor gene. Hafler's team gathered DNA from about 12,000 people, both MS patients and healthy subjects.
The team reports in the July 29 online edition of The New England Journal of Medicine that two variations of the interleukin 2 receptor gene raise the risk of developing MS by about 20%.
The interleukin genes are thought to help regulate specialized immune cells called T-cells, Hafler says. Researchers have long speculated that MS is an autoimmune disease that occurs when immune cells mistakenly attack the coating, or myelin, that protects nerve fibers. If that's true, drug developers might be able to craft a compound that could block or stop the attack, Richert says.
People who have MS often experience attacks of weakness and tremors. Over time especially if the current lineup of drugs stop working they can develop permanent disability. "Some people end up in a wheelchair," Haines says.
Although researchers are now racing to find better drug compounds, that effort might take years, Richert says.
"I don't expect a cure here," says Martha Crowninshield, a former venture capitalist who donated $1 million to finance the research that led to the The New England Journal of Medicine results. Still, Crowninshield, who has the disease, says she believes additional research into the interleukin genes "will accelerate the process of finding therapies."

this question is not meant to offend any of my fellow forumites "across the pond", but is England and great Britain the same? How about the U.K.? Only went to the 7th grade and I think I failed geography.just curious....Thanks
this question is not meant to offend any of my fellow forumites "across the pond", but is England and great Britain the same? How about the U.K.? Only went to the 7th grade and I think I failed geography.just curious....Thanks
Och,I suspect a Claymore coming from a forumite name of alistair any minute now.
steve stas
Great Britain is a place like Brigadoon and only in the imagination.
We have Britain and the British Aisles which is what one walks down to get married and is carted up when one is dead.
We have England where St George got killed a dragon and Ireland which is Northern Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom( you're joking) and Eire where St Patrick got cross and chased out all the snakes and Scotland.
Scotland is a place where the Irish live and the Scots live in England and the English live in Spain.
Really, it is quite simple.
Again, your surname is Buchanan and as such you are entitled to wear the distinctive Buchanan family tartan and a kilt and a plaid and examine the contents of a sporran and on maturity be taught by one of the falmily elders what you can wear under your kilt.
Again, you are entitled to kill and eat one haggis annually on Burns Night.
As you must be well aware having failed your geography that you would be unwise to utter
'Clarior, hinc honos' which is the clan cry- and I not surprised at them crying.
It translates " Brighter, hence the Honour"
So there.
Britain is an island i.e the british isles. Within the island is 4 countries Scotland Wales and England and Northern Ireland is within the British isles too so England is not Britain or indeed the UK just a country within the U K , albeit the largest populated but not in landmass as Scotland and Wales out do it in landmass together but seperately I guess Scotland and England are about the same regards.This is a common fault that many people make don't feel bad when I lived in Germany for 5 years I was constantly referred to as an Englander and not correctly a Schotter which I am as a Scotsman.Scotland has always had it's own currency seperate legal system education system etc but Over the past few years we have our own parliament along with Wales so we decide our own local issues of running the country ourselves larger common matters such as defence etc we decide in London together which should make the understanding of the different nations clearer in the future.However we have many English people living in Scotland and I am proud to say some of them are my best Friends Alistair
Please excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease
The 'British Isles' is England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and I suppose the Isle of Man. Not sure if it includes the Channel Islands which are off the coast of France, but which are sort of slightly British but not in the EC.
The U.K. is 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland', ie the main British island + most of the top part of Ireland.
Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales
England is England, Scotland is Scotland, etc...
England, Scotland and Wales are countries with varying degrees of government based in London.
Ireland is a separate Island, most of which has its own government in Dublin and is *definitely* not in the UK, but the North Eastern part is part of the UK and governed from London until they can stop squabbling amongst themselves when they might get their own parliament back but would still be in the UK. Except that some local functions are dealt with locally or even shared with the Irish (Dublin) govt.
Lots of people in Ireland (the country) want the Northern bit to be governed from Dublin as well, some people in the North want that as well but some very definitely don't.
All clear now?
Well said! ...I think..(??)
By the way, what all constitutes the United Kingdom these days?
(edit) Ooops, never mind, the answer was on its way.
England,Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom.
Wales joined England in 1307. Scotland and England were joined in the Act of Union at the death of the first Queen Elizabeth in 1603 ie the end of the Tudors and the start of the House of Stuart- James 6 of Scotland and 1st of England. Ireland started its unity in 1541 but here it sorts of splits up into Eire and Northern Ireland and separated in 1924.
If we want to be pedantic, the town of Berwick on Tweed which is now in Northumberland is still at War with Germany since 1914.
My original version was far more interesting. The best , however, is '1066 and all that' an excellent book.
Any wiser?
thank you,gentlemen.I can see that I had every right to be confused!
Thanks Tom, I was interested in all that too but didn't have the "stones" to ask the question and risk un-leashing a barrage of literary content of which most would soar well enough over my head that I wouldn't know wether to curse them or thank them !
I speak the Kings English too, but it's Martin Luther's

For two Bethel cyclists, 100+ miles is a day trip
Why would someone hop on a bicycle and ride a hundred miles or more – in less than a day?
That's just what Christine Trefethen, a pediatric occupational therapist from West Bethel, and Jim Reuter, an architect from Bethel, did this past weekend. They've ridden similar distances most weekends so far this summer, and have no plans to let up in the near future.
"I love riding my bike," said Trefethen Sunday, shortly after the trip through New Hampshire and Maine. "I could spend all day on it. It makes me really happy. Why cut a ride short at two hours?"
For Reuter, "There's something cool about starting in one place and getting way over to another under your own power."
Reuter, a veteran 40-year cyclist who has also raced, got serious about distance cycling after doing a ride across the United States in 2005.
"I got interested in the longer distances after that trip," he said.
Compared to Reuter, Trefethen is a newcomer to serious cycling. She did the Trek Across Maine ride from Sunday River to the coast seven years ago and got hooked.
Later that summer she did an organized distance ride in New Hampshire that began at Loon Mountain, and a year later did another one. "On those rides, you're supported the whole way," she said, by staff and volunteers.
She then moved on to unsupported rides. "It's a different deal from someone holding your hand," she said.
A couple of years later she met Reuter, who introduced her to regular 100-mile rides.
"I clearly remember him telling me, "a hundred miles is just a number – get over it,'" she said. A 100-mile ride is known as a century ride.
The two are members of the Ultra Marathon Cycling Association. Cyclists aim to do at least one century ride every month of the year (known as the year-rounder challenge). But with a nod to extreme weather, cyclists are allowed to miss two months if they make them up later.
This year, Reuter said, "We started riding in March," noting that the weather was actually warmer than in April.
Reuter and Trefethen have really ramped up their distance cycling this year, riding the long distances more than the required once a month. This summer they've been out nearly every weekend.
A favorite trip is what Reuter calls the three-state, two-country ride, a distance of 200 miles.
They start in Errol, N.H., travel east to Eustis, Maine, then up through Coburn Gore into Quebec, back down into New Hampshire and across a bit of Vermont, then back down through Dixville Notch, N.H. and into Maine.
They first did the trip last year – right after Hurricane Irene devastated Vermont and also impacted Maine and New Hampshire. "There was nobody on the roads," said Reuter. "We had them to ourselves."
They left at 7 a.m. and finished at 10:30 p.m., traveling with headlights and reflective gear at night.
When they got to Grafton Notch, they passed cars abandoned along the road during the storm the previous night.
Some might question the safety of cycling in the dark, but Reuter said motorists are more careful around riders than they are in the day, partly because they may be confused by the cyclists' lights and slow down more.
The cyclists also take wildlife in stride – sometimes literally.
"I had a moose come out and run alongside me," said Reuter.
"You can hear them thrashing around next to the road," added Trefethen.
And whether night or day, the humans they share the road with treat them well, for the most part. "You think about the number of people that go by, and most of them are fine," said Trefethen.
She also said that cycling "is a great way to meet people. I like to stop at convenience stores to get water. People want to know what we're doing."
This past Sunday Reuter and Trefethen rode a 100-mile route starting in Jackson, N.H., running south through towns that included Conway, Brownfield and Fryeburg, and back up through Waterford to Bethel. They started at 6:30 a.m. and arrived at 2 p.m., averaging 15 mph.
Reuter and Trefethen also occasionally do what is known as randonneuring cycling. A "randonnee" is an outing of a distance up to 1,200 kilometers that is traveled within a set time period. Cyclists do the rides on their own, without the support of an organized event. Participation and record-keeping is administered in the U.S. by Randonneurs USA, and worldwide by the Audax Club Parisien bicycle club in France.
The rides are not competitive, said Reuter, "but people will make it competitive trying to achieve a personal best."
The longest such ride he has done was 600 kilometers (376 miles) through Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, which he completed last year in 34 hours and 45 minutes.
This coming weekend he and Trefethen will travel to Massachusetts for a 300-kilometer randonnee ride.
While it's good to do such rides occasionally as a challenge, Reuter prefers the shorter 100-mile journeys, he said.
Both cyclists ride three or four times a week, at 40 to 50 mile distances, to stay in shape for the longer rides.
Trefethen likes to start the weekend rides early in the day, because it gets her back to her two boys and husband at a reasonable hour.
While family obligations put some limits on her riding, she isn't worried about aging out of the sport, and looks forward to more riding when her sons go off on their own. "I'm hoping I'm stronger in five years," she said.
"Age can be to your benefit in endurance sports," said Reuter, noting that a 40-year-old mountain biker won a silver medal in the just-concluded Olympics.
However much the two choose to ride in future years, they're in a good region for cycling, said Reuter.
"We get to do it in one of the best places in the country," he said. "The motorists are nice, there are ample hills to keep you challenged, and the scenery is great."
(Note: For interested cyclists, weekly rides leave from Bethel Bicycle at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. There are two groups, one riding a little longer and faster, and the other, the 'Easy Rider' group, riding a little slower and shorter.)

This book has some easy recipes and the ingredients needed are inexpensive. There are quite a few pictures of the meals so you know what they should look like. If you liked the show, you will like this cookbook. There are also some great money saving tips.
Melissa's approach to meals is trying to save folks money. Several of her dishes I have already copied from your website and used, but now I have most of these in her book. Also her family played a part in the book - I like that.
I have been a Melissa fan since she competed and love her ten dollar concept!!!
I have been struggling with vegetable dishes, right along with affordable yet filling meals, and found plenty right in one book! Thank you!
The book came quickly and had over the top packaging to protect the product during shipping. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the meal planning. I was expecting something that had balanced, planned meals with shopping lists. You have to create your own menu from the recipes. I do write down Melissa menus for items in the recipe book that I see on T.V.

Probable cause
The requirement, found in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, that must usually be met before police make an arrest, conduct a search or recieve a warrant. Courts usually find probable cause when there is a reasonable basis for believing that a crime may have been committed (for arrest) and that evidence of the crime is present in the place to be searched (for search).
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The amount and quality of information police must have before they can search or arrest without a warrant. Most of the time, police must present their probable cause to a judge or majistrate, whom they ask for a search or arrest warrant. Information is reliable if it shows that it's more likely than not that a crime has occurred and the evidence sought exists at the place named in the search warrant, or that the suspect named in the arrest warrant has committed a crime.

Ever since George Romero brought us the film "Night of the Living Dead", people have been fascinated with zombies. Whether in film, such as the "Return of the Living Dead" series, or more recently "Shaun of the Dead", or in books such as "The Zombie Survival Guide", our culture cannot seem to get enough of the "walking undead".
World War Z: an oral history of the Zombie War by Max Brooks is the latest addition to the Zombie Lexicon. While a lot of the typical zombie stuff is in here, such as moaning zombies with a thirst for fresh humans, what sets this book apart is the style in which the book is told.
For fans of the books "Spoon River Anthology" by Edgar Lee Masters or "Winesburg, Ohio" by Sherwood Anderson, you will instantly recognize the particular method Brooks uses to tell this story.
Instead of a linear retelling of the events surrounding the Zombie War, in which humanity must save itself from the unstoppable moaning hoards, we are told of the events through the first person stories of the war's survivors.
Gripping, tragic, and at times humorous, World War Z is not only a must read for zombies, but for fans of good literature as well.

It hasn't been silent. They've already released, LAW singles, LAW DVD, LAW 2 CD set and LAW Vinyl. That's hardly silent. I wasn't expecting a release every month anyway. If we get LF and HB DVD and CD and a couple of digital sets like Jeff said then this was an outstanding year. Time will tell but your opinion is flat out wrong at this point.

Keep wishing Patty, and hopefully you get that scooter you always wanted this year too. I mentioned before that realistically, if something was announced soon, it would leave a month's worth of marketing and take us into July. That leaves five months afterward for whatever is planned this year, which would mean a flurry of releases around the holiday season, or a couple of carefully crafted products, which I hope is a remastered Hollywood Bowl with some extras, and either the London Fog show or the complete Matrix tapes, or if we are really lucky, both of those. If that's the case, that would be more than welcome as in this market, there's probably not many other bands, new or old, who have anything at all coming out, let alone two special editions, but anything at all would as always, be a nice addition. And from what you have mentioned about what has been released already this year, the LAW DVD and 2-CD set are really the only full-blown releases, the other two are just nice complimentary pieces. I'd like to hear an update about what Robby mentioned earlier this year regarding The Doors' Isle of Wight performance being released soon. And also, I can't speak for Jim, but if he had a voice in any of this, I can imagine that with everything in the vault, he'd want his film HWY released officially, which I think is long overdue at this point. So, Jeff, if you got a few moments, any possible info on the Isle of Wight situation or if HWY has been discussed at all as a potential release in the distant future?

are you serious man? the best of The Matrix tapes is a low quality recording, and also there are several minutes of unheard material.
btw, i would like to get the Fog before Matrix and HB

W8 just brings a big clunky tablet interface to the desktop. Unless I'm missing something, it has no business being installed outside of mobile like touch devices.
So explain why the amd apu desktop and the celeron laptop are working along with my droid phone on a 3800 RG¿?
All this fuss about the golden oldie Windows Start button. There it was, sitting comfortable in the bottom left hand corner, not doing any harm, but doing a tremendous lot of good, rather like a cybernetic kidney. Then some bum comes along and deletes it. Well done, give the guy a prize banana. They will soon only be making two left shoes in a pair because it is cheaper to do so. That is if the same guy gets a senior job in the shoe industry after MS have sacked him.
I just got a new laptop with Win8. After giving it a week of trying it out I came to the conclusion that if one has a touchscreen device Win8 is fine. For everyday keyboard/mouse use it is very non-intuitive and gets frustrating to use. I got the Start8 ad-in and it makes Win8 work for me. BTW the laptop I got is a refurbished unit. I read recently that almost 66% of computer returns since last fall are because user didn't like Win8 and not because there was anything wrong with the hardware. Saved 40% and as far as I can tell, unit was barely used. Sam

Originating from Mediterranean countries, olive oil is delicious, flavorful, and rich in monounsaturated fats, making it a healthy option to cook with and enjoy daily. But what's the difference between regular olive oil and extra-virgin olive oil? And doesn't it go bad if you store it for too long? Or what about overheating it — does that make it lose all of its nutritional goodness? Here are all of the important details you need to know about incorporating olive oil into your diet.
What's the Deal With: Virgin and Extra Virgin Olive Oil
As we all learned from the Butter or Margarine Quiz, olive oil is a much healthier alternative. Butter is bad for your heart since it is high in saturated fats, and most margarines are made from hydrogenated oil so they contain trans fats which raises your cholesterol.
OK back to olive oil — what's the difference between virgin and extra virgin? Is one healthier than the other? What about refined olive oil? Does refined mean better? Is one better suited for cooking?
Extra-virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of the olives. It contains no more than 8% acidity (oleic acid), and is said to have a superior taste. Extra-virgin olive oil has higher levels of Vitamin E, Vitamin A, chlorophyll and magnesium. Contrary to popular belief, heating it will not cause it to lose its health benefits, it will only lose flavor.

ARGO tells the unbelievable true story of how CIA specialist Tony Mendez masterminded a mission to rescue six U.S. citizens who escaped a kidnapping by Iranian militants in 1979. The six men have found shelter in the home of the Canadian Ambassador, but are still stuck behind enemy lines. The plan to get them out: use CIA agents, filmmakers and investors to masquerade as a group preparing to shoot a film in the region where the men are hiding.
The goal being to try and convince the upstart revolutionists that the trapped U.S. citizens are part of the crew. Even Hollywood couldn't come up with an idea this original…or crazy.
Directed by and starring Ben Affleck, who is joined by Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman and Kyle Chandler in the film's impressive cast, ARGO is a cinematic history lesson unlike any other.
"Argo is a marvel of cunning, an irresistible blend of cool realism and Hollywood hokum." -David Edelstein, New York Magazine
"Ben Affleck's electrically suspenseful, cunningly original true-life thriller, is the rare movie that has great fun while touching a raw political nerve." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"The best film of the year. The craft in this film is rare. It is so easy to manufacture a thriller from chases and gunfire, and so very hard to fine-tune it out of exquisite timing and a plot." -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Why Non-Organic Isn't Always A Bad Thing
Nov 22nd
You may have noticed recently that we have offered a couple of non-organic items, including cranberries and turkeys, in our web store recently. It's very important to us that you, our customers, have as much information about the products you're purchasing as possible, so we wanted to fill you in on what informed the recent decision to offer you these non-organic items!
Organic food is the key to our mission, and we take our role as your source for organic produce very seriously! That's why ordinarily, all of our produce is 100% certified organic. That said, we occasionally see some good reasons for taking on a supplier that isn't certified organic, and this is one of those times.
This year, we are delivering turkeys from Mary's Free Range Turkeys, which are not organic. We really wanted to be able to offer the option of a turkey for all of you this Thanksgiving season. Unfortunately, the few organic turkeys we could find came at a prohibitively high cost that wouldn't be viable for many of our customers. We settled on Mary's as a choice that would fulfill our values for healthy, high-quality turkeys raised in a great environment for an affordable price. Unlike your typical grocery-store turkey, these turkeys are guaranteed to be free-range and antibiotic-free. We would not have chosen it if we didn't feel great about having Mary's as a source. When you buy items like these turkeys from us, you support our small business and our own small organic farm and help us grow. Another reason we offered these turkeys was to gauge what the interest levels for Thanksgiving turkeys were like. Thanks to the overwhelmingly positive response we received, we already have plans in the works for next year and are hoping to team up with a farm that is raising turkeys to bring you 100% certified organic turkeys!
We are also carrying cranberries from Bloom Creek Cranberry Farm in Olympia, WA. Bloom Creek's cranberries are not certified organic. However, they use sustainable methods and work hard to minimize their need for agricultural chemicals. Bloom Creek is a small, local, family-owned farm that is trying to transition into being certified organic in the next two to three years and perfecting their process, currently working on a bog that is pesticide-free. The first year they attempted not to use herbicides, they struggled with rampant weed problems that overwhelmed their crop. Cranberries are a notoriously tricky crop to grow – Bloom Creek actually hand-weeds their bogs! In addition, having a small farm ourselves, we understand the challenges of getting certification and want to support other small farms who are going through the process, knowing that they need the financial support to reach their goal of being certified. Furthermore, Bloom Creek lovingly produces their cranberries, and it shows in their product! Their cranberries are exquisite, with none of the decay that you'll often see with the large commercial brands.
We feel honored that you've chosen us as your source for organic groceries and promise to always do our best to find amazing sources. All of the items in your weekly box will always be 100% certified organic, and we will only add non-organic items to our web store when we have a good reason for doing so and are completely assured of their quality. Because we are a certified organic handler, we take the utmost care to guard against any cross contamination or commingling of non-organic and organic products. And because we believe in transparency, when we do carry a non-organic item, you can rest assured that it will be clearly marked so that you know what you're buying.
As always, please feel free to get in touch with us and share what you think. We value your feedback and depend on it to become a better business!

TerraNEWS & INFO
Did you love the artisanal organic kettle corn we had at our Harvest Fest? Many guests raved about it, saying it was the best they'd ever tried. Well, now you can order it online with the rest of your box! This addictive, salty-sweet treat comes from our friends at the Organic Kettle Corn Company. Enjoy four crave-worthy flavors, including cheddar, chocolate, sweet 'n spicy, and classic, and feel good knowing that you're consuming organic, GMO-free corn! Look for offerings from the Organic Kettle Corn Company under our new "Snacks and Treats" category in the web store.
Brussels Sprouts from Tahoma Farms are here! A personal fall favorite, Brussels Sprouts are surprisingly sweet, tender, and caramelized with crispy edges when roasted, and light and tasty when eaten raw as a salad base (just shred them in a food processor to use them in a salad or finely chop them with a knife or mandoline). Get your cruciferous veggie fix with this comforting autumn superfood!
Our Asian Pears, which combine the sweet taste of pears with the firm texture of apples, have been crisp, juicy, and refreshing. Now we have another variety, the 20th Century Asian Pear. With a sparkling, complex flavor that includes notes of vanilla and citrus, this green-yellow fruit is one of the most popular Asian pear varieties in the world. Another delicious, exotic fruit that reaches its peak in fall is the persimmon. Fuyu Persimmons are orange-yellow with the squat shape of a tomato and a mild, sweet taste reminiscent of mango or pumpkin. Eat them when they're just a bit soft for the best flavor!
Who doesn't love the ritual of pulling the petals off an artichoke and dunking them in a creamy dip? We have Artichokes from Ocean Mist Farms in California right now! Steam one and share it for a special autumn treat.
For all the OlyKraut fans out there, we now have their Sour Pickles in our web store! Packed with garlicky dill flavor, these crunchy sour pickles are delightfully tart and tangy. Get this seasonal offering before it's gone! We also have OlyKraut's Sour Pickle Brine, which you can drink for its powerful probiotic benefits.
As we prepare to vote, our minds are turning to politics. You may have heard talk of I-522, the bill for labeling genetically engineered foods. We want to remind you that you have the right to know if your food has been genetically modified! Transparency is a good thing, especially when it comes to shopping and making informed decisions. Whether or not to buy a genetically modified item should be your choice to make! If you're interested in learning more, check out this piece Dan wrote on the subject, or visit yeson522.com.
Have a relaxing weekend and a fun and safe Halloween!
Alaskan Coho and Sockeye Salmon Available Now!
Oct 24th
You might have caught our previous announcement that we're now carrying Sanford's chicken in our web store! We have even more exciting news to share: Alaskan Coho and Sockeye Salmon are now available in the Terra Organics web store!
One of the healthiest foods you can eat, salmon is a powerhouse source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein, and now, you can easily get high-quality salmon from a supplier you can trust – without ever leaving the comfort of your own home.
We know you care about your food and where it comes from. That's why we're devoted to finding the very best sources possible, both in terms of value and sustainability. All of our salmon is wild-caught in Alaska and comes from fisherman Gavin Keohane. Commercial fishing regulations in Alaska are carefully managed in order to avoid overfishing and to ensure a future with a healthy salmon population! That's why wild caught salmon from Alaska is considered a "Best Choice" by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and is certified as sustainable by the Marine Sustainability Council (source). Bottom line: By choosing Alaskan salmon, you can feel good knowing that you're supporting sustainable fishing practices – and rest assured that your hard-earned cash is going towards the best quality salmon you can possibly get!
We're thrilled to bring you another great web store option and hope that this add-in makes your weekly grocery shopping even more convenient. Please let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see in the web store that we don't carry already! We would love to hear your thoughts.

NEW in the Terra Organics webstore
Alaskan Coho and Sockeye Salmon
Sanford's Farm Chicken
Tosca Pears
Autumn King Grapes
Black Radishes
TerraNEWS & INFO
It seems that our selection keeps growing more and more, and this week, we're particularly thrilled to announce some exciting additions to our web store! Now, in addition to the grass-fed beef and eggs you love, we'll also carry whole chickens from Sanford's Farm, as well as wild Alaskan salmon! We hope these new additions will make it a snap for you to get fish and chicken from the best sources possible.
First, our Coho Salmon and Sockeye Salmon come from Alaska and are wild-caught by fisherman Gavin Keohane. They're frozen and vacuum-sealed for maximum freshness and are a wonderful, sustainable choice. Add the potent health benefits of salmon to your diet, and rest assured you're getting the highest quality fish you can get!
Next, our new chicken comes from Sanford's Farm. You may already know Sanford's as our source for delicious farm-fresh eggs, or as the farm located right next to Tahoma Farms (perhaps you even met them at our recent Harvest Fest!). Choose between 2.5 and 2.75 pounds, and enjoy the superior taste of fresh, local chicken. Roast a chicken and use the leftovers for an easy boost of protein in salads, sandwiches, and stir-fries all week long!
We're also pleased to announce that we have a new North Seattle pick-up location. We'll now be delivering to Makeda Coffee, a cozy little cafe tucked away in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. Choose Makeda Coffee as your pick-up location, and don't forget: you save $3 per order by picking up your box instead of getting home delivery!
Fall continues to bring more unique fruits and vegetables you won't find at your average supermarket. Quince, a small yellow fruit, is lovely for baking in desserts or for adding to preserves. Try roasting it for a sweet treat or pickling it for an unexpected complement to meat and cheese plates. Black Radishes are striking and just a bit spooky due to their unusual, arresting color – perfect for Halloween!
Tosca Pears join our growing list of pear varieties. These crisp, yellow-green pears are similar in taste to Bartlett Pears, and, like Bartletts, are excellent raw or baked. As for new grape varieties, we now have Autumn King Grapes, notable for their huge, light-green fruit.
That's it for this week. Stay tuned for even more exciting web store additions coming soon!

New Web Store Item: Sanford's Chicken!
Oct 17th
If you eat meat, there's nothing like being able to enjoy meat knowing that it came from a small, local, sustainable producer that you trust. Not does it taste better, it's much easier on your conscience, and is better for your health! We've already worked with Grassfed Direct and Sanford's Farm to bring you delicious organic grass-fed beef and eggs. Now, we're excited to bring meat eaters another tasty option they can feel great about choosing!
That's right: Whole chickens from Sanford's Farm are now available in our web store!
Sanford's Farm is a wonderful PCC Farmland Trust producer located just across the street from our own Tahoma Farms. Their name might sound familiar to you if you have tried their farm-fresh eggs in our web store, stopped by their booth to chat during our Harvest Fest, or perhaps spied their poultry in the freezer at Tacoma Food Co-op!
Their chickens are all organic and pasture-raised in Orting. They're available in 2.5 lb and 2.75 lb sizes, so you can choose the one that best suits your household's needs. Now that you don't have to go to the grocery store to pick up poultry, we hope that the ability to add Sanford's chicken to your order will simplify your life even more!
As if that weren't enough, we have another exciting new addition. Stay tuned for another announcement!

Back-to-School Lunchbox Inspiration with Terra Organics
Sep 5th
Need some lunch box inspiration for back-to-school season? Read on for ideas for how to use your Terra Organics deliveries to craft healthy, tasty lunches for the whole family! Share your best lunchbox tips and tricks with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! #backtoterra
- Fresh fruit is always welcome in a lunchbox! Favorites like Pluots, Plums, and Donut Peaches require no prep and are easy to eat.
- Pack some sliced Cucumbers, Celery, and/or Carrots for a snackable dose of veggies. Mixed Cherry Tomatoes are great, too!
- Combine 6 ounces of Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and a little honey and cinnamon for a delicious protein-packed fruit dip. Use it for dunking slices of Gingergold Apples or Starkrimson Pears!
- Try packing some of Eat Local's Spicy Spelt Chips with a small container of hummus or salsa for a crunchy but wholesome snack.
- It's easy to make hard-boiled eggs that come out perfectly every time! Just place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with an inch of cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes before plunging into an ice-cold water bath. Try it with Sanford's Eggs or Stiebr's Eggs, and you'll have tons of portable protein ready to go for snacks and lunches all week long!
- If you're trying to get your kids to eat more leafy greens, make kale chips! Just take a bunch of Purple, Green or Lacinato Kale (or another favorite green, like Rainbow Chard), tear into bite-sized pieces, and toss with a couple tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-12 minutes. These can be stored in an airtight container or baggie for lunchtime crunching!
- For a special treat that's not too sweet, try the Molasses Bear Cookies from Eat Local. Kids love them!
- Fruit leather is the perfect way to both use up your overripe summer produce (like Yellow Peaches and Blackberries) AND have plenty of healthful snacks on hand for fall. Check out this recipe!
Weekly Produce Report, Week of August 24, 2013
Aug 26th
NEW in the Terra Organics webstore:
Snow Leopard Watermelons
Local Blackberries
Padron Peppers
Purple Potatoes
Purple Tomatillos
TerraNEWS & INFO
This week's round of new fruits and vegetables add a dose of drama to the Terra Organics web store. For example, our Purple Potatoes are just that – your typical potato in every way, except that they're a deep, vivid violet! For a more mildly hued spud, our new Rose Finn Fingerling Potatoes have lovely blush-colored skin and creamy flesh.
Tahoma Farms's latest offerings promise to spice up your summer eats with powerful flavor. Our Purple Tomatillos are a small, greenish purple fruit similar to tomatoes, perfect for adding to soups or dips. For a fresh, wholesome party snack, use tomatillos to make salsa, and add some of our Spicy Spelt Chips from Eat Local for dipping!
Also from Tahoma Farms: our new Padron Peppers! Padron peppers are a Spanish pepper variety. About one in ten of them are spicy, giving rise to the expression, "Os pementos de Padron, uns pican e outros non" (Padron peppers, some are hot and some are not). All you need to do is fry or grill them in a little olive oil until they start to get blistered, then season with a sprinkle of coarse salt. Enjoy their sweet, mild, and occasionally fiery taste!
Joining our menagerie of melons this week is the exotic Snow Leopard Melon from Schreiber and Sons Farm. The Snow Leopard melon is so named for its unusual patterns of green streaks on white and has a taste similar to honeydew.
Have you ever tried Kohlrabi? It's a strange-looking root vegetable related to cabbage, with a flavor many liken to broccoli stems. Try kohlrabi cooked or raw!
We hope these intriguing fruits and vegetables add something a little bit different into your diet! Until next time!

Apple making progress on work hours, but 'can do better'
Apple says it's making progress on working conditions in supplier facilities.
The company recently issued its monthly report on "excessive work hours" in supplier factories around the world, saying that 89 percent of workers were in compliance with a 60-hour work week. In January, 84 percent of the employed workers were found to be in compliance.
According to Apple, the typical factory worker was on the job for 48 hours each week in February.
"That's a substantial improvement over previous results, but we can do better," the company wrote on its Supplier Responsibility page. &… Read more

The Dying Tecumseh
A sculpture depicting the death of the legendary Shawnee warrior reveals much about how the Indians of the West were viewed in the early ages of the United States
- By Bil Gilbert
- Smithsonian magazine, July 1995, Subscribe
At the end of a long gallery in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art there is a ton of marble that, after nearly 20 years of intermittent work, was completed in 1856 by Frederick Pettrich, a German-born, Italian-trained sculptor. The subject is a reclining, heroically proportioned man whose dignified and noble demeanor is unaffected by a bullet hole in the right temple. If the wound and a tomahawk held in the right hand are overlooked, the figure could be that of one of the champions of classical legend — an expiring Hector or Siegfried — who so engaged romantic artists of 19th-century Europe. In fact, the gleaming white sculpture is entitled The Dying Tecumseh, but any resemblance to the mortal Shawnee leader of that name is entirely coincidental. He died in battle and was disfigured by enemy soldiers 25 years before Pettrich began this work. While alive he posed for no known portrait. Nevertheless it is singularly appropriate that this is an imaginary figure, for no one else of Tecumseh's race and few of any other have had such a powerful and abiding impact on the collective American imagination.
The real Tecumseh was born circa 1768 in southern Ohio at the beginning of a sporadic but ferociously fought war that did not end until — and largely because — he was killed in 1813. In this conflict his Shawnee, the Miami, the Potawatomi and other nations of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley region sought to defend themselves against the white settlers pioneering westward across the Appalachians.
Tecumseh was a warrior at 15; later he became a renowned field commander and a charismatic orator. By the early 1800s he had conceived of a Pan-Indian federation. In this union he hoped old tribal rivalries would be set aside so that the indigenous people of the Great Lakes and Mississippi Valley could act as one in resisting the advancing whites. From a base on the Tippecanoe River in northern Indiana, he traveled from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico promoting this federation. His ambition was probably an impossible one; the Indian population of this territory was then less than 100,000 and that of the United States nearly seven million. Still, rumors of what he was up to greatly alarmed many frontier whites, including William Henry Harrison, the federal governor of the Indiana Territory. Formerly a Regular Army officer, Harrison negotiated with Tecumseh face-to-face on two occasions and assessed him as "one of those uncommon geniuses who spring up occasionally to produce revolutions and overturn the established order of things."
In the fall of 1811 Harrison gathered a thousand men and, when Tecumseh was away, made a preemptive strike against his base on the Tippecanoe. After a brief fight several hundred garrison warriors withdrew from the village. The so-called Battle of Tippecanoe was, in effect, the first engagement of the War of 1812. In that war Tecumseh fought alongside the British because, unlike the Americans, they were not invading Indian lands. In August 1812 Tecumseh, leading a multitribal group of warriors, and a combined force of Canadian militia and British regulars surrounded Detroit. Fearing imminent massacre by "hordes of howling savages," the aging and ailing Brig. Gen. William Hull surrendered Detroit and his 2,000-man army (Smithsonian, January 1994).
Tecumseh's warriors soon struck deep into the United States, attacking forts and sending terrified settlers fleeing back toward the Ohio River. Harrison, called back to command U.S. forces in the West, spent nearly a year converting militiamen into passable professional soldiers. In the fall of 1813 he invaded Ontario. The British general, Henry Procter, retreated in panic. Fighting almost continuously for five days, Tecumseh and 600 warriors screened the British retreat, but on October 5 Harrison caught up with Procter at the Thames River near Moraviantown. The British general ignominiously fled; after a single American volley all his regular troops surrendered. Tecumseh meanwhile positioned his exhausted men in a patch of swampy woodland and told them he would retreat no farther. Having finished the British, Harrison sent dragoons and infantry into these thickets. After an hour of fierce fighting Tecumseh was killed, or presumably so. At least he was never again seen alive. For all practical purposes the Indian resistance movement ended in the Northwest. But the process that led to the Dying Tecumseh sculpture had already commenced.
The first year of the War of 1812 was a humiliating one for the United States. The nation's political and military leaders badly needed a gaudy victory to restore public morale and their own reputations. Not much could be done with the wretched General Procter. But the defeated Indians were another matter. The first battle reports — later embellished in bloody detail — claimed Harrison's brave boys had overcome 3,000 superb warriors led by the great Tecumseh. Naturally the public was eager to know which American hero had brought down this mighty Shawnee champion. Satisfying that curiosity was — and still is — complicated by what might be called the habeus corpus problem.
Warriors who survived the battle told various stories. They had been forced to leave Tecumseh's body on the field. They had carried him off, either mortally wounded or dead, and buried him in a secret place that whites would never find. As for the Americans, none of those who first overran Tecumseh's position were acquainted with him. But they found an impressive-looking dead Indian who they were convinced was Tecumseh. Some cut strips of skin from this body, later tanning them for razor strops and leather souvenirs. When people arrived who did know him, some said the battered corpse was indeed Tecumseh's. Others said it was not. Even Harrison could not positively identify it.
Nevertheless a number of Americans were to claim that they had personally vanquished the Shawnee leader. Most prominent was Richard Johnson, a Kentucky politician who fought at the Thames as a cavalry commander. Whether or not he was indeed "The Man Who Killed Tecumseh," a great many of his constituents believed he was. With supporters chanting "Rumpsey Dumpsey, Rumpsey Dumpsey, Colonel Johnson killed Tecumseh," Johnson was first elected to the U.S. Senate and then, in 1836, to the Vice Presidency. With a little help from another catchy jingle, "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," William Henry Harrison became President four years later.

This fantastic article may well finally answer the question, "Why was this enemy of the United States used when the US Naval Academy was designed?" The central focus of the time honored Bancroft Hall is named Tecumseh Court and has a bust statue of this famous Indian Warrior in full battle dress. Hard to understand without the statement "Tecumseh was a warrior at 15; later he became a renowned field commander and a charismatic orator" provided above. Thank you Steve Frasher USNA Class of 1970

Well, the indigenous native Indian population had no business being on "our" property to begin with. What were they doing here? It is unfortunate that America's political history is predicated on the confiscation of the previous inhabitant's property through forced military means and the government-organized and sanctioned eradication of that population. In a moral gesture, European emigres and those that have followed, essentially have cordoned off these remaining indigenous inhabitants from the main population on "camps" or reservations far away from European settlements. The parallels to the behavior of the German Nazis from the Krystallnacht to the subsequent behavior of the Nazis are extraordinary. There are similar historical parallels in Australia, South Africa and Latin America as well, which when full explored, should shed considerable light on the nature of the human animal. The distillation of actual human behavior and the rationalizations given for the justification of those behaviors can hopefully explain the root essence of animal behavior and motivation with a more enlightened perspective.

Being a longtime newspaperman in Tennessee, I have multiple "Native American" friends here who refuse to use or deal with $20 bills with Andrew Jackson's likeness printed on them...due to the infamous Trail of Tears migration forced on them by President Jackson. Theirs is another viewpoint of U.S. history, valid in their eyes and hearts...
Posted by Dan Whittle on June 3,2012 | 05:15 PM
I read that for Tecumseh's face Pettrich used the cast taken after the warrior's death. Is that correct?

Mary, in the staff is very nice, and helped us a lot whenever we had problems. Nevertheless it seems like she has too much work put on her and this has the effect that cleaning, etc. is poor. I am sorry to say this because she is excellent, but I feel like the hostel is no more than average.

The hostel is located in Miraflores which is a safe district. There are stores, nice restaurants and laundry shops nearby. However the hot water supply isn't too stable and we couldn't take a shower on our first and last day of stay due to no hot water supply. The kitchen is a bit small for a hostel.
