Your reporter went out to the backyard to see what the cat was looking at in the iris clump. As I got closer I heard the rattle then saw the rattlesnake. I shooed the cat away, got the dogs in the house, yelled SNAKE-SNAKE to Lee and grabbed a shovel, all in about 10 seconds! I jumped up in the flowerbed and pinned the snake between the iris rhizomes and the railroad tie. Lee arrived as I severed the snake into three parts! It had three buttons. I wonder if it was the same snake that was out front? Are ...

Knights Ferry School got off to an interesting start - two days without school because of the water main break in town. The pipe was by the new bridge and the Community Service District helped dig up the pipe and replace it. County health officials put a boil your tap water before drinking in place for two days. All the town restaurants had to close until the water passed the health department's tests. By Friday all was back to normal.

When your reporter started writing the Knights Ferry News in August of 1999, it had to be typed (on a typewriter) on 8 by 6 inch newsprint supplied by the Leader and put through the mail slot on Sunday evenings. Now it is all computerized and so much easier!
There is a new sign up on the highway, a gateway sign for Knights Ferry. It points to the town and tells that there is food and recreation there. Sponsors for the sign so far are: River's Edge, 50's Roadhouse, River Journey, Knights Ferry History and Museum Associates and the Ice Cream and Sweets Shop. It looks really nice.
The streets of Knights Ferry look good after the slurry seal. As of Saturday the lines had not yet been repainted.
Kaeli Sweet flew to Virginia Beach, Virginia, to visit her Uncle Adam and Aunt Tiffany. Hurricane Arthur, the first named storm of the season, went up the Atlantic seaboard also. We have to wait until Kaeli is home to find out how that experience was.

The 51st annual Pumpkin Roll was sunny after a foggy start. It was fun to see people that used to live in the Ferry bring their children to experience rolling a pumpkin down the street. Winners in each category received a trophy. In the Boys 0-5 years the winner was Ryan Mayer and the Girls 0-5 winner was Rita Taylor with a roll 1 foot, 1 inch from the line.

Parducci Pinot Noir
Parducci - California - United States - Mendocino County
Pinot Noir is one of the planet's most widely grown and enjoyed grape varietals, and thanks to the popularity of the key wines it is associated with Burgundy and Champagne it has successfully spread from its native home in France to much of the wine producing world. Pinot Noir means 'black pine' in French, and this refers to the extremely dark, inky color of the fruit, and the fact that it grows in conical bunches, resembling a large pine cone. It has long been revered for its wide range of refreshing, summery flavors, and the fact that it produces red wines of a beautiful garnet color and light body. More recently, sparkling wines made exclusively with Pinot Noir have been extremely popular, and the orchard notes found in the fizzy 'blanc des noirs' wines mark out just how versatile this grape varietal really is. Despite being notoriously difficult to grow, it isn't hard to see why this grape is now found in vineyards all over the world, as it is synonymous with romance and decadence, quality and fantastic flavor
California has long been the New World's most important and prodigious wine producing regions, with a history which stretches back to the 18th century and the Spanish pioneers who settled here. Today, California produces vast quantities of wine, and if it were a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine on earth. Despite experiencing many problems in the mid 20th century, including a very serious blight which almost crippled the state's wine industry, the ideal terroir and excellent climate ensured that Californian wines soon became the envy of the New World once again. California produces a vast range of wines, and utilizes a long list of fine grape varietals, with many wineries and their produce more closely resembling those of France and other Old World countries in regards to character, practices and flavors
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.

I once had a friend say to me, "poetry or prose?" when I asked her if she would like a reading. I told her it more of an intuitive nature than what she was thinking.
What exactly is a reading? You might ask. Have you heard the expression, "You are easy to read?" Some people are just that. You know when they are sad or mad because you can pick up on their emotions. Even though you can't see the emotion, it's there.
I am clairsentient. That is the ability to pick up on or sense other people's emotions and other frequencies around that person.

Kevin says, "The rumor is that we all met on 'eHarmony' - which isn't true, at least for myself - ...but Jesse and Trey's interests of music and long walks on the beach do 'match' up quite well now that I think about it." The band is currently working on a new album to surpass the likes of their previous release, "Wake Up!

After landing on runway 12R, the MD-88 aircraft was cleared by ground control to "cross runway 22 and taxi to the gate." The pilot taxied on taxiway Zulu, which is parallel to taxiway Yankee. Taxiway Zulu was closed due to construction; however, the construction was not posted on the ATIS, NOTAM's, or dispatcher's release from the company. The ground controller also failed to mention to the flight that taxiway Zulu was closed. The left wing of the taxiing air carrier collided with a parked forklift and a truck and trailer loaded with aluminum siding material while taxiing to gate 26. The pilot stated that he taxied the airplane on the centerline of the taxiway and he was not aware of the collision until he arrived at the terminal.

Food Storage Rotation
June 23, 2009 | 79 comment(s)
"I like to use our potato pearls and mashed potato flakes to thicken soups, since using flour or cornstarch generally doesn't work for me. The extra flavor is nice, especially for potato or vegetable soups. I have also used it in tuna corn chowder and thought it tasted pretty good." --Veronica
We would like to give everyone the opportunity to share their own personal tips, ideas, and experiences relating to food storage rotation. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

Nichole | June 23, 2009
I use my whole powdered eggs whenever I baking and it works great.
Stacy | June 23, 2009
I use my Instant Fat Free Powdered Milk for baking and over my cereal (just make sure it's well mixed and very cold!).
Keith | June 23, 2009
I wish I had an real-life idea, but I'm new to food storage. I might try the cheese blend over some spaghetti or even just over some plain noodles.
April E | June 23, 2009
I use fat-free powdered milk in protein shakes. I just open the container and spoon in as much as I need at the moment....it's super easy and adds extra nutrition!
Liz | June 23, 2009
I use my powdered milk in cooking. It works the best for our family. We rotate some of our wheat by eating wheat berries for breakfast instead of oatmeal, and you can also dry them and use them on salads. Yum!
AlysonRR | June 23, 2009
I use powdered milk, powdered buttermilk, canned evaporated milk, and aseptically packaged soy milk for all my cooking and baking.
Amanda B | June 23, 2009
I create a whole grain mix from whatever I have on hand (wheat, barley, rye, spelt). I put this in the crockpot at bedtime (1/3 c. grain to 1 c. water), sometimes adding apple slices and cinnamon. In the morning, we have a delicious warm breakfast waiting for us. You can also try adding peanut butter powder. Yum, Yum!
Lori LeVar Pierce | June 23, 2009
For all my baking, I use powdered milk and eggs. I also like using the freeze-dried vegetables in soups and cooking - especially the green pepper. They don't freeze or keep long, so having dried makes it easy to be sure I have some on hand whenever I need.
Lynn | June 23, 2009
I use my powdered milk to make yogurt by the gallons! And then I use my yogurt to make cream cheese by the cups!!!! Yum!!
Meghan | June 23, 2009
I use powdered milk to stretch my Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe.
The Thorley Family | June 24, 2009
I always keep a quart of powdered milk mixed up in the fridge and use it in baking and cooking - I even substitute half of the fresh milk in puddings and no one can tell!
Michelle | June 24, 2009
I use my potato pearls in casseroles, and save the real potatoes for mashed potatoes.
Erica | June 24, 2009
I've never liked powdered milk but my husband and I recently realized that when used in fruit smoothies it's great. You just add the powder and the water without mixing it up and let the blender do the work. You can't even taste a difference and since you don't have to mix it up, you don't have to deal with the smell...
Ange | June 24, 2009
We are getting more into food storage and we notice that Wal-Mart has small packs of dehyrdated food that are the same brand from Emergency Essentials. We are thinking if we buy a small pack and see how we like it, then we can buy the ones we enjoy the most in the #10 cans.
Anonymous | June 24, 2009
Dried cheese, eggs, and milk work every bit as good as fresh in any baked or cooked recipe and so now I always reach for them first rather than opening the frig door.
DebStein
Joe | June 24, 2009
In the winter before I tap my frozen supply I will use my freeze dried supplied in my shakes and morning breakfast serial. The strawberry are the best in serial.

The left over milk is super strawberry flavored.
Brigette | June 24, 2009
of course the powdered milk is good when making bread...
Jesse Crouch | June 24, 2009
For non-freeze-dried foods:

Beans are one of the easiest things to cook and are extremely good for you. Very easy to rotate.

 - Make a bean soup with small amounts just about any type of meat to add flavor.

 - Use the beans as filler for tortillas.

 - Eat the beans plain or simply combine with rice or vegetables for some simple extra taste.
Pam Collier | June 24, 2009
I use potato flakes in my favorite recipe for whole wheat sandwich bread (from the King Arthur Flour website).
Vinc | June 24, 2009
I can't really add anything new about food itself but I use two steel cabinets to store food. One large cabinet with easy access and big shelves. I also have one close to the kitchen that hangs on the wall. It's about 8" deep and 2' by 2'. I rotate food into the little cabinet. No, I don't have vermin but I have in the past (in a rural county) and I've seen how quickly one mouse becomes a lot of mice.
Summar | June 24, 2009
I use powdered milk in baking. It especially works great in our favorite bread and pizza dough recipes! I also rotate wheat by using my grinder to make flour. You can substitute wheat flour for part regular flour in so many recipes and not even taste a difference! Good way to get a little more nutrition AND rotate food storage at the same time.
Heather | June 24, 2009
I use powdered milk, whole oats, quick oats & potato flakes on a regular basis. I also use the cheese blend with fresh broccoli over potates & pasta- it's fabulous! I use my beans in many dishes too. I love that storing food has become more hands on these days than it used to be!
Tammy | June 24, 2009
We use our powdered milk for bread and pizza dough. We also like to mix our fresh veggies with some freeze-dried. You won't notice a difference. We put any new food behind the older so that we use the older food first.
Kylene | June 24, 2009
I love using powdered eggs...I even use powdered egg whites. It's so easy, tastes the same, and is less messy!
Wyndfire | June 24, 2009
We mill our own grain and bake our own bread.
Lauren | June 24, 2009
Take freeze-dried food with you when camping. Not only is this cost-effective and easy (no need to make sure certain food is kept cool), but it prevents you from having to take any kitchen items at all! Except utensils to eat with, of course :o)
Mary Lou in Central NY | June 25, 2009
I am constantly substituting ingredients in recipes with storage items that I want to rotate. I try to keep everything "moving". Most ingredients can be mixed and matched as long as you stay within type and proportion: grains, dried fruits, flours, vegetables, etc.
Cecily | June 25, 2009
I make sure my food storage items are kept in a cool, dark place so they will last as long as possible. Then I track my "use by" dates on a spreadsheet. I keep the items with shorter storage life in easier to access locations so I can use them in regular meals and baking. Powdered egg, powdered milk are great for baking. Dried fruit is good for snacking.
Emily | June 25, 2009
I'm pretty new too, but I put powdered milk in my kids instant oatmeal, I LOVE the freezedried veggies that I can just throw in casseroles or whatever I'm cooking and my 2 year old loves to eat freeze dried broccoli out of the can.

We eat from our 3 month supply regularly.
Andrea | June 25, 2009
I used powdered milk to make my own homemade cocoa mixes. Who knows what chemicals they use in the premade stuff??? Homemade is the best!
AJones | June 25, 2009
I use the egg powder in all our baking. Woek great.
Regina Ivie | June 25, 2009
I always love using dried onions from my food storage in spaghetti and chili and other places where I would normally have to cry cutting a fresh onion. :)
Sarah | June 26, 2009
I like to mix some freeze dried strawberries in my homemade yogurt. Let it sit for a few minutes to plump up the fruit, and voila - strawberry yogurt! This is really good with any of the freeze dried fruits. Peaches, mangoes, etc.
Pat | June 26, 2009
Try Yoder's bacon and stored beans to make bean and bacon soup.

As for beans, I'd like to suggest that EE start carrying Anasazi beans. They're a little pricier, but cook up faster than most beans and don't require pre-soaking, so can save on water and fuel resources under emergency conditions.
Dale | June 26, 2009
Store what you use, use what you store. In addition to dry pack and freeze dried foods, many wet pack and dry goods at the grocery store have a shelf life of a year or more. Take a look at the label of things you buy regularly and purchase a supply of how long it will store for.
Ariana | June 27, 2009
PICK ME, PICK ME!
This is how we rotate.
I have an emergency supply of meals I make less often and a large supply of regular food we eat on a regular basis. When I get to about half the amount of a food, I replenish. For example, I have 12 boxes of speghetti, when I get down to 6, I buy 6-12 at the store.

I am getting ready to open a can of milk from 25 years ago. We will see how it is.
Penny | June 29, 2009
I add a little peanut butter powder to my homemade instant oatmeal mix before cooking. Makes it taste like a peanut butter cookie only healthier.

Powdered, dried eggs provide a convenient alternative to fresh eggs and add quality and consistent performance to the list of attributes....plus, with like 90 eggs to a can, you just can't beat that!
Yennigirl | June 30, 2009
I use the whole powdered eggs in baking. You can't tell a difference.
Sagir | June 30, 2009
well I use powdered milk , powdered eggs, powdered buttermilk, powder shortening, powder butter to make A LOT of my mixes like: sweet condensed milk, waffle mix, bisuit mix and more I love it because we can eat healthier and cheaper doing it and it is very quick to do it.

Food Storage Rotation

My plan to keep food storage fresh is to incorporate the freeze dried meals into our regular routine so in the event of an emergency the kids(and my husband) are not stressed additionally by eating foods that are different than they are used to. This will also help with my busy schedule since prep is a snap and I am a working mom.
pop3k | July 1, 2009
Count me in
Gave my powered milk to my Daughter when her husband was laid off, good to be able to share.
Need to restock
lrm | July 1, 2009
We eat granola in a bowl with mill for breakfast, mixed with dried fruit for snacks, and sprinkled over fruit for dessert. That is our favorite!
momothevine | July 1, 2009
A couple years ago for Christmas I bought everyone in our family their own personal insulated thermos. (Our family has a lot of allergies.) Because the thermos retain heat and moisture so well, we've used them to "prepare" dinner for us on the road. Toss some freshly cooked noodles, freeze-dried chicken, some freeze-dried veggies (like broccoli), maybe some freeze-dried cheese, spices, and maybe a little extra hot water - let it rehydrate a bit. And you have dinner! Guess you could do the same with quick oats and freeze-dried fruit for breakfast....
Melanie | July 1, 2009
My kids take emergency kits to school to have on hand - just in case. I pack it full of freeze-dried fruits and veggies. They love to eat them dry and actually hope there IS an emergency.
I also use powdered milk in all my baking.
Justin Ferrell | July 1, 2009
I use common ingredients when I cook whenever possible
We, the Wells | July 1, 2009
Riboflavin and Vitamins A and D are almost entirely depleted by light in milk, so I buy our milk in opaque or paperboard cartons. I mix a half-gallon of our store-bought whole milk with a half gallon of mixed powdered milk to make 2% that tastes almost entirely like the store-bought. I had a hard time finding an opaque container in which to keep my own mixed milk, so I bought orange juice that came in a white plastic gallon-size jug and reuse that. I also use a funnel when I pour the milks into the jug...just easier. Thanks!!
Heidi | July 1, 2009
Powdered milk can be added to bread machine recipes. :)
Jonathan | July 2, 2009
My storage is increasing and like minded friends are jealous.
Dawnelle Anderson | July 2, 2009
I use my powdered milk when I make rolls
EYOWYN | July 3, 2009
I love using my powdered eggs and powdered buttermilk and powdered sour cream when I bake. And I couldnt live without my dried onions. They are so easy to add to my casseroles and they rehydrate wonderfully. And I now love dried refried beans instead of the canned ones. They mix up so easily and are a fabulous dip for a quick snack!
Jerry | July 3, 2009
When putting away groceries, I write the month and year "best by" date with a Sharpie. If it's within 1 year, I mark with a red Sharpie. Takes a little time, but makes "first in - first out" rotation easier.
Bobbi | July 3, 2009
A few of us from church have started a group using different dried essentials along with the Mix a Meal cookbook. The hot roll mix with powdered butter and powdered milk made an excellent pizza crust. It was so easy to make.
Bear | July 3, 2009
I increased my Food Storage Today by 6 super pails and added an Emergency Radio. What have you done to prepare today?
iamstill39 | July 3, 2009
Fruit dices in oatmeal gives my kids a great flavor without extra sugar.
Kathy H | July 3, 2009
I make homemade soup every Sunday for dinner. I use a mixture of some fresh and some freeze-dried and/or dehydrated vegetables.
Kathy | July 3, 2009
I like to dehydrate my own food from the Farmer's Market. If you go at the end of the market, many venders will give you a discount on the food they have left. Dehydrated vegatatbles can then be added to any soup. I love to use dehydrated tomatoes. I run them through a coffee grinder that I only use for spices and foods and use as tomatoe paste or as a thickener. Great way to make things last.
Stephen | July 3, 2009

tery | July 3, 2009
best mountaineering food. we really like the freeze dried powdered milk for granola - MUCH lighter to carry on long expeditions and less risk of spillage. good stuff
Cheryl | July 3, 2009
I've been trying to use my food storage more and more in my every day cooking and find the powdered eggs and powdered milk are 2 great ways to start.
Jan | July 3, 2009
I am new to food storage; however, I plan to use my Instant Fat Free Powdered Milk as a back-up whenever we run out of milk (power outages, storms & blizzards, waiting for payday), as well as in baking and in casseroles.
Peter | July 3, 2009
We have used powered milk in the past when out of rice milk. This was when we were doing a yeast free diet but our coop order hadnt come in yet. Now we are getting trained for disaster relief and all this preparedness stuff is taking us back to the coop days!
The Silvia Family | July 3, 2009
The MRE's from our 72 hour kits make great camping/hiking food, especially lunch. Quick and easy to prepare and everyone can choose what they want.
Tom H. | July 3, 2009
I've bought preparedness goods from many companies. Emergency Essentials is head and shoulders above the rest.

If I'm making something with chicken, I use a small can of chicken and then lots of chicken TVP. It helps to keep the chickeny flavor in the TVP. I also really like using the TVP to make soups with and it's way cheaper than buying chicken from the store!
Kathleen Bagy | July 3, 2009
I love Emergency Essentials. I have ordered several different freeze dried veggies. I use them for everything. They taste great and are much easier to store than canned or frozen.
Rachael | July 3, 2009
I like to use the fruits in cereals and some of the veggies in soups.
Aunt Bea | July 3, 2009
I love the shredded cheddar cheese; hydrate it and it makes a great mac and cheese, and goes well in homemade breads and yeast rolls. They dehydrated onions go in everything; eggs, breads, gravies, barbq sauces. Not too sharp and no tears from shredding my fingers on the grater for the cheese or onions! The dehydrated fruits make great pancakes and breads - if I can keep hubby out of them; he likes them for snacks straight from the can!

Haven't found anything yet from beprepared.com that DOESN'T taste good, have high quality, real value - and longevity. I use a permanent magic marker to ID the bottoms of the cans when they arrive, as to date and contents, just to keep records and usage straight.

I'm semi-new to food storage, too but I use powdered milk for hot chocolate mix.

I have some basics, and some grain but I need to & would love to expand what I have.
rachel | July 4, 2009
I'm new to food storage, but have long used dried onion and other veggies in soups and stews.

dried strawberry and banana are great in jello molds, too!
allenstacey97 | July 4, 2009
I'm new when it comes to food storage. But I have always kept a supply of dried onion and bell pepper on hand to use in spaghetti sauce. And I use dried potato flakes as a side and for thickening soups and stews.
Glory | July 4, 2009
I believe we are going to be prepared not only for us but for others thanks to your company.
Michele Bentley | July 10, 2009
I wish I would have seen this earlier! I would have loved to enter. I like using the various freeze dries for camping since they are easy to go ahead and put in to ziplock bags and you can actually have 3 weeks worth of food in a back pack for 4 people. this is great for if you need to vacate an area when a disater hits. you can be ready for anything! ziplock baggies are the way to go! sharpies mark what's inside and when it was put in there. when rotating, you can even have a great backyard camping dinner as a treat and to get your family used to the freeze dried foods.
jennyor | July 17, 2009
Every time I cook I use at least one food storage item and once a week I make a food storage meal. One of our favorites has become.
1 box Vermicelli
2 cups rice
1/4 c freeze dried Bell Peppers
4 cups Hot Water with 4 chicken or beef bouillon cubes disolved.
1/4 dried onion flakes

In frying pan with 1/4 cup olive oil, brown vermicelli and rice. Dump in the rest of the ingrediants. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes. Even better if you cook up some pinto beans and place on top at serving time.

Patti Smith: Camera Solo
This exhibition is included with General Admission pricing. This winter the AGO offers a glimpse into the world of legendary musician and artist Patti Smith through an intimate exhibition featuring photographs, personal objects, and a short film. Patti Smith: Camera Solo provides a rare opportunity to experience a different side of this rock icon – best known for her profound influence on the nascent punk rock scene in the late 1970s and 80s – through her poetic expression in the visual arts.
The first presentation of Smith's works in Canada, this exhibition highlights the continual connections between Smith's photography and her interest in poetry and literature. For more than four decades, she has documented sights and spaces infused with personal significance. Her visual work possesses the same unfiltered, emotional quality prevalent in her poetry and music lyrics: their allure lies in their often dreamlike imagery; their modest scale belies their depth and power.

Animal experiments at Cardiff University rise by 13%
Posted 11 August 2010
An investigation by the Wales on Sunday newspaper has revealed that animal experiments at Cardiff University have risen by 13% since 2006. In the past four years, the University used more than 190,000 animals in research, including mice, fish, birds, guinea pigs, cats, rabbits and tree shrews from South-East Asia. It was responsible for 96% of all animal tests at Welsh universities.
In one shocking experiment, 19 kittens were subjected to invasive surgery in which their windpipes were sliced, catheters were inserted into their blood vessels, and electrodes implanted into their brains. In 2009, the University used 46 cats in research, more than a quarter of all the cats used in research facilities in the UK during that period.
Animal Aid exposed Cardiff University in its 2006 'Mad Science' awards, for conducting particularly pointless and grotesque research on rats. In one experiment, rats were trained to press a lever to obtain a food reward, and to swim through a water maze to a hidden escape platform. Researchers then injected some of the rats with a toxic chemical to destroy different areas of the brain, and forced them to repeat the tests. They concluded that more animal experiments were needed to study brain damage.

Immortal Technique Biography
Review The Artist (42)
Source: http://www.viperrecords.com/imtech/bio.shtml
Born in a military hospital in South America, Immortal Technique was brought to the United States in the early 80's while a civil war was breaking out in his native Peru. The US supported puppet democracy and Guerilla factions were locked in a bitter struggle which ended like most do in Latin America, with the military and economic aid of the State Dept. through channels like the CIA. Although he had escaped the belligerent poverty and social turmoil of life in the 3rd world, he was now residing in Harlem which had its own share of drama. Growing up on the streets of New York, the young man became enamored with Hip Hop culture, writing graffiti and starting to rhyme at an early age. Although he frequently cut school and ended up being arrested time and time again for his wild behavior, the kid still managed to finish high school and got accepted to a state university. Unfortunately the survivalist and aggressive attitude that was the norm in New York City caused him to be involved in more violent altercations at school, whether it was with other brothers, false flaggers or the relentlessly racist population of an uncultured Middle America.
Compiling multiple assault charges in New York State and in other states eventually caught up to the uncompromisingly hardheaded actions of one Immortal Technique. He faced several charges for Aggravated Assault in the tri-state area. Realizing his inevitable incarceration, Technique began to prolifically write down his ideas about what he had lived and seen in the struggle back at home in relation to his visits back to his native land. He came to embrace his African roots that stemmed from his grandfather and understood the nature of racism and ignorance in its role in Latino culture, separating oppressed peoples and keeping them divided. He also began to study in depth about the Revolutionary ideas that had caused a history of uprising in the indigenous community of his Native South America. Although pressured to turn states evidence before and during his bid, he refused the DA and lawyers. He was facing a 5-10 stretch, but the hiring of a pittbull attorney helped him compile the cases without turning snitch like his co-defendants. The result was a 1-2 year sentence in the mountains, 6 hours away from the city. There Technique studied, worked out vigorously, began to document his lyrics, and create songs. Besides the creation there was destruction, and the fights were nothing compared to the verbal battles that he engaged in occasionally. This proved to be a foreshadowing of what was to come...
Paroled in 1999, Immortal Technique returned to NYC and began a campaign to claim victory to what he had discovered he had a talent for; battling. One of the rites of passage in establishing oneself in the Hip Hop community is following in the steps of those who made their name in lyrical warfare before you. Immortal Technique quickly became known throughout the underground. His brutally disrespectful style was trademark, and it was not long until he had won countless battles not just on stage and in clubs, but on the streets whenever a random cipher would pop up. From Rocksteady Anniversary, to Braggin Rites, SLAM DVD's and hookt.com's infamous battles, he established himself as someone who could captivate a crowd and who people looked forward to seeing. But it was then that Technique realized what every battle champion had come to terms with before him, battles was just that, battling, and not synonymous with success at making music. Turning his eye to production and touching up some of the songs he had written in prison he now focused on trying to get an album together, but major labels wanted a more pop friendly image and were uncomfortable with his hardcore street style that was complemented by his political views. In response to their lack of vision, Immortal Technique left the battle circuit and released his critically acclaimed Revolutionary Vol.1, which at first moved 3000 copies, but to date has moved more than 12,000. This earned him Unsigned Hype in the Source (11/02) and numerous articles in Elemental & Mass Appeal.
Established in the underground circuit Tech began another round of dealing with record labels unwilling to see the direction of his brutally honest and cultured rhymes. He decided to continue with what had been so successful, his hand to hand out the trunk hustle. In the post 9.11 climate, as the music industry crumbled, Immortal Technique built on the truth with a hardcore brand of street politics. Being featured in XXL, The Washington Post, and having been titled with the Hip Hop quotable in The Source (10/03) for his sophomore independent release Revolutionary Vol.2 was just the beginning.. On Viper Records, where he is the Executive VP, he sold 29,000 copies of Revolutionary Vol.2 to date and has appeared on soundtracks for new movies including the new Mario Van Peebles film "BAADASSSSS". Immortal Technique has also worked with Mumia Abu Jamal and AWOL magazine. His single "Industrial Revolution" released in conjunction with Uncle Howie Records hit #1 on CMJ and #50 on the Billboard charts. Recently back from a successful West Coast tour, Immortal Technique is now booking a European tour in the Fall of 2004 and recording his highly anticipated third album...

The dolphin snatchers: Mail investigation exposes vile trade where animals are sold for up to £100,000 each to aquariums where they suffer unimaginable cruelty | Mail Online
I'm sure that everyone who reads this story will be as sickened and appalled by it as I am. It's truly horrifying to think that people can be so cruel. Education is the key to stopping this evil, if all the people who go to these dolphin shows and dolphin swim experiences knew of the suffering and cruelty involved, then they wouldn't go.

Part I/III: Solving Amazon's Q4 puzzle. And: You know what's cool?
Yesterday, Tuesday, January 29th 2013 Amazon announced Q4 2012 results after the market closed. Since the announcement, we have had an unusual number of inquiries from customers about the quarterly results and what it means for Amazon, e-commerce, Amazon's 3P business, etc. Therefore instead of our usual short-form summary of the q, we are going to expand our coverage this quarter into a three-part series:
- Part I: High level overview of Amazon's Q4 (you are here)
- Part II: Deep dive into Amazon's Q4 3P performance (available here)
- Part III: Under the hood of Amazon's FC network (FC = Fulfillment Center) (available here)
Before we dive into our usual dashboard and cube discussions, there was an important new 'first' for Amazon we wanted to share.
You know what's cool?
One of favorite scenes from the movie, The Social Network, is when Sean Parker (played by JT) says that a million 'isn't cool', a billion is cool - in that context it's dollars, but in the context of Amazon's Q4, you know what's cool?
For the first quarter, our analysis shows that Amazon sold over 1B paid items for the first time in a quarter.
Doing the math on this is fun:
- That's 126 items sold a second
- Or 7,548 items sold a minute
- OR 452,899 items sold an hour
- **OR** 10,869,565 items sold a DAY
Think about that - 10.8m items sold a day during Q4 2012. Oh and BTW, 1b is from rounding down from 1.05b. While some of these are digital goods and what-not, the bulk are still physical. 39% of these items are 3P (410k) and the other 640k are 1P. This helps explain why Amazon has announced 8+ 1,000,000 sq-ft FCs already for 2013 - that's a LOT of items to deliver.
The detailed analysis of 3P and unit sales is in part II and a look at Amazon's FC network is coming in part III.
Finally, with that in mind, here's a clip for you:
Amazon Q4 2012 Key Performance Indicator (for sellers) Dashboard
Every Q we go over some of the highlights from the Q that we believe online retailers/sellers should takeaway from Amazon's results. They are collected in this handy dashboard that has columns for the results, Wall St's consensus estimates and Amazon's guidance. This Q we have added two new Key Performance Indicators:
- 1P unit growth - Amazon discloses the % of sold item growth as well as the % that are 3P. From there you can deduce the 1P unit growth and 3P unit growth.
- 3P unit growth - see above
Highlights from the Q:
- Revenue and profits - when you look at the results this way Amazon 'missed' expectations on both fronts - this is what most of the headlines out of the Q have focused on. This has caused a lot of retailers to ask us: "Ok, Amazon's profit and revenue were down, why did the stock go up and why is everyone on Wall St. so excited?!" We have details on that below. The short answer is: profits and profitability are actually up and significantly above expectations due to 3P and other factors we'll dig into.
- Growth rates - in our regular feature, the quarterly Amazon growth rate cube in the next section we detail these.
- Active users - Wow, Amazon grew active users to 200m - up from 188m last Q and this represents 22% y/y growth. To put this in perspective, eBay grew active users 12% to 112m - with a big chunk coming from new mobile users. Amazon doesn't disclose the source of user growth, but given the popularity of their mobile apps and the kindle devices plus their aggressive international segments, those would be our best estimates of drivers of this metric.
- Paid unit growth - Paid units grew 32% which was a bit of a step down from Q3's 39%. The real story here though is looking at the 1P/3P mix.
- % paid items from 3P - Amazon reported that 39% of paid items were from 3P sellers. That initially feels like a step backwards because in Q3 we were at 41%. But if you look at Q411, the metric was 36% so it's actually seasonally quite a bit of an up-tick.
- 3P paid unit growth - Amazon' reported that 3P unit growth was > 40% y/y - note this is 2-3X the growth rate of e-commerce (14% as per ComScore)
- 1P paid unit growth - When you do the math on the datapoints (paid unit growth, %3P, 3P unit growth), you can deduce that 1P paid unit growth was in the 23-25% range.
Other highlights not in the dashboard:
- Amazon added 20 FCs in 2012 (more on that in part III)
- 57% of revenue is NA and 43% is international
- Amazon continues to invest heavily in China
- EGM is now 65% and media 31% (other is the remainder). Looking back, this is the a new high water mark for EGM.
Q4 2012 Amazon growth rate cube
Note: EGM stands for Electronics and General Merchandise - Amazon-speak for anything that isn't a (e)book, movie, dvd, cd, mp3, videogame. Also, the industry 'watermark' we use is ComScore who has widely reported that Q4 2012 e-commerce growth (ex travel and grocery) was 14% y/y.
In the following cube we summarize all of the different Y/Y growth rates that Amazon reports (ex-FX). We find this helpful as you can quickly see where the growth is (Intl EGM) and where things are slowing (intl media).
Looking at the categories of media/egm - Amazon's media business is now growing slower than e-commece (10% vs. 14%), and Amazon's EGM business is growing 2X. From a geographical standpoint, each region is actually growing at the same rate 23%. In the US, media is growing in-line with ecomm and whereas internationally it is growing quite a bit slower (perhaps they aren't as far down the Kindle/eBook adoption cycle as we are in NA).
If you think of another dimension to this cube which would overlay the 1P and 3P growth rates, you can see that the fastest growing segment at Amazon would be: 3P international 3P followed by North America 3P EGM. Amazon doesn't disclose that detailed segmentation, but given that 3P units grew over 40%, each of these segments are growing at least that fast and probably 2-5% higher - giving the non-media Amazon 3P business a growth rate 3X that of e-commerce (14% as per ComScore).
Amazon's revenue and profits are down - why is the stock up!?
And now we come to the big question of the Q (and for the last 5 Q's really. Why is everyone on Wall St. viewing what looks on the surface like a terrible quarter with lower then expected revenue and lower profits as a huge win?
The answer lies in several important profitability measures that we haven't covered yet:
- EBITDA - (This stands for Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization you can read more here) Amazon's Q4 EBITDA was expected to be around $1b up from $821 last year and came in at $1.3B
- Amazon's gross margins last year Q4 were 20.7% and expectations were for an improvement to 22.7%. Amazon's Q4 came in at 24.1%
- Finally, Amazon releases CSOI (Consolidated Segment Operating Income) which is a way to look at how the business is doing in different segments (e.g. NA vs. Intl) when you take out some things like stock-based compensation. CSOI margin was expected to be 2.2% and Amazon came in at 3.2% - the fifth straight quarter they have blown away CSOI expectations.
- Gross profit was up 41% y/y.
If I lost you in some accounting alphabet soup, Colin Sebastian @ RW Baird has a great chart that show this in a way we can all understand:
If you agree now that several key measures of profitability are up, then that begs the question of how can a business be getting more profitable as revenue growth rates come down. This is actually a very unusual combination and the reason lies in three areas:
- 3P - There's a 'hidden' part of Amazon's business that is growing > 40%, but amazon only recognizes revenue on 10% of it vs., 1P where they recognize 100% on 1P - therefore if a single $100 item to be sold moves from 1P to 3P, you lose $90 in revenue, yet you gain the same/more profit. It's very counter intuitive unless you live in our e-commerce world. Now play that out to the tune of 40% growth in 3P and only 25% in 1P and you can see that creates some serious revenue growth headwinds and actually masks what (IMHO) what really matters - GMV growth rate (more on this in part II).
- High margin businesses are growing rapidly - in addition to 3P, Amazon has a couple VERY high margin businesses (because little or no incremental costs)- Amazon Web Services (AWS) and advertising. Those are outside the scope of what we cover here.
- Last but not least, Amazon's shipping costs are coming down. details on that coming up.
So you can see that in the Oct 2009 Q, Amazon had good shipping margins that deteriorated as the company started to make heavy investments (FCs, DCs, Kindle, AWS, intl, etc.) and since September 2011, that trend has reversed with Q4's results getting us back to that early point. Also, international ticked up nicely which could be promising.
Amazon's fulfillment costs are going down??
One thing that I've been discussing with retailers is that Amazon's fulfillment costs are going down - one of the reasons they are opening massive FCs and agreeing to tax nexus in states like CA and TX. The logic is that if they can get a FC next to a big population center (SFO, LAX, DFW, etc.) then the costs to transport goods actually go down because the product is closer to the people When this cost goes down, they can...lower prices! And if they are doing this at scale, the prices they get from scale and a better mousetrap can make their products a better value after-tax than they were pre-tax.
Here's a chart that says all that in one picture:
Amazon is shipping more and more products, but the net shipping costs are effectively going down. We are getting a lot of questions about Amazon's FC capabitities so have more coming in part III.
Conclusion and up next:
Amazon's Q4 results sounded rough on the surface, but when you dig a layer down, you realize that while growth has come down to the low 20's, Amazon's metrics around profitability were way up and dramatically exceeded expectations. Shipping costs and the growth of high-margin items such as AWS and ads played a role, but we (of course we are biased) believe that 3P played the biggest role in this interesting trend.
In the next installment, we'll do a deep dive into Amazon's Q4 3P sales where we'll highlight some other amazon 'firsts' and then in part III we'll look at Amazon's growing fulfillment center network.

Even better and one of the top whites in the appellation (and Northern Rhone for that matter), Chapoutiers 2012 St.-Joseph Les Granits Blanc boasts a massive bouquet of pit fruits, apricot, honey, liquid minerality and licorice. This flows to a full-bodied, gorgeously textured white that has beautiful purity of fruit, awesome focus and blockbuster length. Enjoy it over the coming decade or more.
(12/ 2013)
Light gold. Pear, lemon pith and white flowers on the intensely fragrant nose. Fleshy and expansive on entry, then tighter in the mid-palate, offering vibrant, mineral-laced orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a suave floral nuance. Finishes spicy and very long, with lingering floral and mineral qualities. I'll bet that this tightly coiled wine will be a slow ager.
(3/ 2014)
The 2012 St.-Joseph White Les Granits is marked by a combination of richness, freshness and purity, as lemon curd, star fruit and creamed white peach notes are stitched with quinine, chamomile and blanched almond notes. The finish ripples with finely beaded acidity and seamlessly integrated toast. It's a beautiful wine on par with and perhaps even slightly ahead of the '07 and '05 versions in terms of quality.

DFW AIRPORT -- John Oldham, a Nashville-area businessman, dialed up flight information on his smartphone and chuckled."See?" he said. "It says my flight is on time and on schedule."On the contrary, Oldham was one of thousands of travelers stranded Tuesday by a computer outage that forced American Airlines to cancel or delay hundreds of flights because the carrier couldn't check in passengers.The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground-stop of all American Airlines and American Eagle flights across the nation at the request of the carrier.There were only a few flight cancellations and delays on Wednesday as the airline worked to get its operations back to normal. However, weather in Chicago and aircraft repositioning prompted the airline to cancel about 100 flights. American added five additional flights on Wednesday to help affected customers reach their destinations."Our operations returned to normal this morning," said American spokeswoman Andrea Huguely. "Again, we apologize to our customers for the inconvenience yesterday and thank our team for their continued efforts."Most of the cancellations and delays on Tuesday occurred at DFW and Chicago O'Hare airports, two of American's major hubs. The airline cancelled 978 flights on Tuesday because of the computer outage.About 1,500 passengers opted to stay overnight at DFW Airport in the terminals, said airport spokesman David Magana. Flights continued to depart the airport until about 3 a.m. as American worked to get its operations back on track.Problems with the airline's reservations, ticket booking and check-in computer systems, known as Sabre, started in the late morning.Nancy St. Pierre, a spokeswoman with Sabre Holdings in Southlake, said there were "no issues" with its system, which is used by airlines and travel agents. It was a connectivity problem, which Sabre does not manage for American, she said.Passengers at DFW's Terminal C grumbled that they weren't informed about the delays nor were they given a clue about what was happening.Oldham, misled by the outdated flight information on his phone, got in line to check in at about 3 p.m., but didn't know there was a problem until he overhead other people complaining.American employees were directing customers from counter to counter without offering explanations, he said. Each time, he had to go to the back of a long line."This is my fourth time to be in line," Oldham said.At 3:30 p.m., American said its systems were back online but that it expected flight delays and cancellations to continue throughout the day."We apologize to our customers and our people for this inconvenience," the airline said in a statement. It noted there was no evidence to link the technical outage with the explosions at the Boston Marathon on Monday that killed three people and injured scores.The carrier offered to change customer reservations at no charge if their travel plans were flexible. If not, American said, it would provide full refunds.According to posts on Facebook and Twitter, some passengers who boarded before the computer shutdown were stuck on planes for almost two hours.In the terminal, Trevor Davies and two co-workers stood in line, trying to figure out how they'd get back to Colorado Springs."I'm not going to get angry," Davies said with a jovial smile. "Things happen. People just need to understand the world is not perfect."If Davies was trying to buck up his colleagues, it didn't work. They were less than chipper and declined to comment.Darid Erwin was with 29 fellow members of the Arlington High School chamber choir taking a flight to New York City where they were scheduled to perform at Carnegie Hall.Late Tuesday afternoon, they were unsure how'd they get there, but Erwin said he came to the airport with no expectations for an easy trip."I didn't know what to expect," he said. "I've never flown before. I've never been out of Texas. We'll get there eventually."Bill McKenna of Pompano Beach, Fla., was worried about missing work Wednesday morning. He came to North Texas last week for the NRA 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.But, like Erwin, he tried to keep things in perspective."Compared to what happened in Boston, this is nothing," he said.Andrea Ahles, 817-390-7631Twitter: @Sky_TalkBill Miller, 817-390-7684

I tried to copy a wonderful dish I had at a small local Italian restaurant and this one turned out WONDERFUL (for a lot less money too!) The flavors are excellent and it's a totally new way to use up leftover ham. The crispy ham reminds me of pancetta. This is a very forgiving recipe and many different vegetables can be added to your liking, try sauteed zucchini with the peas, or mushrooms, broccoli, etc.

text: On March 7, 1995, approximately 1251 hours Pacific standard time, a Bell Helicopter Textron 230, N230LF, registered to and operated by Emanuel Hospital & Health Center, d/b/a Life Flight, and being flown by a certificated rotorcraft-rated airline transport pilot, sustained substantial damage when the tail rotor impacted a fence during landing at the University Hospital helipad, Portland, Oregon. The pilot and flight nurse were uninjured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a VFR flight plan was in effect. The flight, which was a positioning flight for intended operations from the University Hospital, was to have been operated under 14CFR91. The pilot reported that the heliport perimeter fence extended horizontally about two feet out from the heliport surface to act as a person-catcher. The fence was built with an approximate 4 inch gap at mid-span. The tail rotor guard on the aircraft was able to slip down into the gap, which resulted in contact between the tail rotor and fence. The pilot believed that an accident would not have occurred if the gap had not been there in the fence.

William Katz: Urgent Agenda
TROUBLE ALL OVER – AT 8:36 A.M. ET: By Friday we will have a new secretary of state. Hillary is leaving, given a warm sendoff by a fawning press just yearning to see her president in 2017. Coming in is John Kerry, best known as the failed Democratic candidate for president in 2004, and, earlier, for denouncing his comrades in Vietnam as war criminals.
Did you ever think you'd see the day?
And in the midst of all this, whole areas of the globe are descending into chaos, with American influence declining under the guidance of a president who, increasingly, cannot hide his leftist political views. Egypt, hyped as the gem of the "Arab spring," is on the brink, and slipping into winter:
Oh really? I wonder about that.
COMMENT: And what is the U.S. doing? Well, we're continuing our military assistance to Egypt, as if nothing has happened. I'm sure all those Abrams tanks will be used to advance democracy.
And we're kind of averting our eyes to the revelations of vulgar statements by President Morsi – statements that could've come out of the Third Reich. Hey, he's evolving.
A few years ago Egypt was an American ally. Its government was problematical, to be sure, but it was a problematical government that leaned toward the West. Now Egypt has a problematical government trying to establish an Islamic police state.
Change we can't believe in.

United Auto Worker's President Bob King speaks at the annual Center for Automotive Research's Management Briefing Seminar near Traverse City, Mich., in this file photo.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
United Auto Workers chief Bob King has told a German newspaper he believes the union will be in Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant by June.
King told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper that there's a "clear majority" of employees who want to be represented by the UAW and have signed appropriate declarations of intent." King's current term as UAW president ends in June.
He said the UAW and VW work well.
"VW is very fair to deal with," he said. "The company wants its employees to have a voice"
The UAW said last year it has a majority of the nearly 2,000 rank and file who have signed cards seeking representation by the union. But, anti-UAW workers have indicated they've got more than 600 employees who have signed petitions saying they don't want a union.
The company could voluntarily approve the union, or the UAW could call for a vote by employees.
Mike Pare, the deputy Business editor at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, has worked at the paper for 27 years. In addition to editing, Mike also writes Business stories and covers Volkswagen, economic development and manufacturing in Chattanooga and the surrounding area. In the past he also has covered higher education.

Whenever I think about New York, there is this image that pops into my head. A picture of Time Square; the great crossroads of the world, where busy people are flooding in from every corner of the city. Whenever I think about New York, I can only imagine how it would taste, smell or sound. As many people are aware of, New York itself, is a world of its own. Countless of Immigrants and tourists from all over rages in and takes part in the busy atmosphere brought about by this magnificent city.
A trip to New York and Things to do in NYC will always be one to remember. There's a walk around Central Park where lovers share romantic moments; where health conscious individuals spend their morning there jogging the calories away; a park where almost everyone is allowed to express themselves.
Then there is a visit to one the most iconic places in New York, Grand Central Terminal. From wall to wall, you hear each cheerful welcome and tearful goodbye of loved ones coming in and out. Just by the look of this station, you could actually feel its historical aura.
Witness and marvel at how this city is a maze of streets and sky towering buildings. Take a tour atop one the Empire State Building. The view from there will literally take your breath away. Take pictures and just enjoy the air. Want to experience how authentic New York really is? Walk the streets of Little Italy and taste Italian Pasta. From there have a sip of coffee at the cafés and live music joints.
Without a doubt, you'll never run out of things to while you're in the Big Apple. I can only imagine what it would be like. Now I know why this is one the favourite spots of filmmakers to shoot their movies.
