Got the cast iron cookery supplies well taken care of, so just got this bad boy to delve into some canning. Capacity, 21-1/2 quarts. For canning, it accommodates 7 quart jars or 19 pint jars. Can process a GOOD batch in one session.
These models are offered now through Amazon.com at a reduced price. Proudly designed and manufactured in the United States - yeah !!
All part of the SHTF master plan, don't ya know.
My folks have always canned fruits and vegetables and kept a well stocked supply away. I'm not much on canning fruits, but am really interested in canning meat stews, vegetable stews, and vegetables...and want a good supply stored away.
Only canned (water bath) once long ago. So will be a learning adventure for sure. Pressure canning is recommended for some foods and meats especially. The pressure cooker/canner comes with a good amount of canning technique and advice in the book. I'm told the Ball Canning Blue Book is great reference too, as well as Backwoods Magazine.
Also, looks like some pretty great recipes for pressure cooking too. Need to get some roasts ready.

Portland indie-pop combo The Ascetic Junkies are back in town, Saturday at Silver Moon. I spoke with founding members Matt Harmon and Kali Giaritta about their band's past, present and future, plus something called "Junkies Cologne." Here's an excerpt:
So the couple landed in Portland and found one band mate on Craigslist and another busking on Hawthorne Avenue. Over the past year, they've played in Bend several times, as well as Seattle, Eugene, and, of course, all over their home town. In anticipation of their second album, which they're recording now, they also recently signed on with the Timber Carnival Records, home to like-minded, Northwest-based bands like The Dimes, Derby and Hello Morning.
In other words, things are going well for Harmon and Giaritta. Which is nice, because that move to Portland was motivated not just by hiking and other good bands.
"The reason we moved here was to see what we could do and to see how far we could take this," Harmon said. "So as far as we can go, that's what we're in it for. We've learned not to set deadline expectations, because sometimes things really surprise you, and then other times it takes a lot longer to sort of get to a level that you're looking for. But we've been really pleasantly surprised and excited about how quickly we've been able to progress here."
This is a great band, and you should go see them. And you should read the whole article by clicking here. And you should check out this blog post for a free download and a chance at getting on the guest list! You're going to be busy, so get going.
Elsewhere in this week's music section: Jerry Joseph brings his Jackmormons back to town, the a cappella group Sonos plays a Mother's Day show, Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas are at the Tower Theatre, Inimica and Thorns of Creation lead a bill of local metal, McMenamins Old St. Francis School hosts Casey Neill & the Norway Rats, and The Parental Advisory Tour brings Nashville Pussy, Green Jelly, Psychostick and more to Bend. Plus, an update on Last Band Standing, and there's always more in our complete music listings.

I have a tip to share with you--a simple little secret that you'll love.
You know what I mean when I say "the smell of autumn," don't you? Sort of a combination of crisp apples and spiced cider and pumpkin bread baking in the oven. Mmmm. Well, there's a super-simple way to achieve it using ingredients you probably have in your pantry right now. Here's what you'll need:
And here's a little tip: next time you're at a thrift store, pick up a little pan. Use that for simmering your potpourri instead of one of your good pots. That way, you can keep it on the stove and just keep replenishing the water and spices as needed. Do be careful not to let the mixture boil dry--that would stink up your home instead of making your home smell like apple pie.
Now, if you need to bake something rather than just enjoying the smell of fresh-baked goods, check out this recipe for pumpkin bread. It's the very best I've ever tasted.

November 9th - 8:18 p.m.
I walk in the door after celebrating my friend Shaunna's birthday. Throw my purse on a bar stool and dump my coffee mug from that morning in the sink. Halfway through a chocolate cupcake from the b-day bash, my Droid beeps with a text:
"ESPN News - Joe Paterno has been fired as Penn State football coach; school president Graham Spanier dismissed."
I better hop on Twitter to get the whole story.
Cardinals kicker Jay Feely had some of the first tweets I see. Clearly he felt very strongly that the firing was the right decision. He started calling out other players, like Falcons' wide receiver Roddy White, who disagreed:
"Roddy would you say the same thing if it were your son raped??? RT @roddywhiteTV Joe Pa has done so much for that school this is wrong"
More from Feely, when asked by @vmads94: "what about Mike McQueary? He saw it happening. How do you not stop that. What man walks away from that" Feely replied by calling McQuery "A coward."
Cardinals safety Hamza Abdullah didn't tweet much during the evening but one tweet seemed to be a constant theme: @hamzaAbdullah21 "This is bigger than Football!"
Ochocinco: "Touchy subject but i thought they'd let him finish the season out at least. RT @ScottyClaggett: @ochocinco Thoughts on JoePa?"
Tweeters were not happy about this one from Chad Ochocinco, lots of responses included profanities. Chad deleted this tweet before the end of the night.
This one totally caught me off guard, Ashton Kutcher expressing distaste for the firing: "@aplusk: How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste"
Fifty minutes later he recants, tweeting, "Heard Joe was fired, fully recant previous tweet! Didn't have full story. #admitwhenYoumakemistakes"
Really Ashton? Think they fired him because his team is 8- 1? I call BS on you Mr. Kutcher. He took Ochocinco's lead and deleted the initial tweet within a few hours.
This story tweeted by Stewart Mandel includes an interview with one of the victim's sister who still attends Penn State. She talks about her "mixed feelings" about the student rallies, and how she blames Penn State president Graham Spanier.
Ty Walker works at the Ticket in Dallas, @tywalkerticket "PSU ComRadio had one of their people relaying on air the rumor that seniors could sit out Saturday in protest."
I believe the best thing is for the Penn State team to play football on Saturday, a player protest will only cause more trouble. There are eight victims listed in the Grand Jury Presentment. I would call for 8 minutes of silence for the victims and their families before kickoff.
Here's a link to that 23 page disgusting grand jury presentment, obviously it includes every graphic detail [WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC MATERIAL].
Twitpic of overturned media van from SI's Jon Wertheim. I'd like to think students were just gathering to cause a fuss, not because they truly comprehended the magnitude of the situation.
Joe Schad @schadjoe "Paterno received at his home an envelope from a messenger with a # to call 15 minutes b/f BOT announcement"
It's a crappy way to do it, but I don't really care how they fired him. The victims didn't get a 15 minute notice.
"@schadjoe: Paterno is said to have been told of fondling, touching or horseplay but not sodomy or rape"
I think the Joe Pa supporters will cling to this one for a few a days. Just to be clear to my friends, family, co- workers and anyone in position of authority: if I'm being raped, fondled or touched inappropriately, and someone at my office sees it, or has the incident reported to them, I want you to call the police. Immediately. And should you be able to intervene and stop the behavior, I want you to do that too. Please do more than your legal obligation.
On my timeline, the most retweeted of the night was Daniel Tosh @danieltosh: "if you feel bad for joe paterno it's because you are an awful person."
One thing I still want to know: how did his wife not know?
Some of the abuse took place in her home, and on family vacations.
And what about his eight adopted children who are now grown adults?
I'm saddened to think how much more of this story will be revealed.
I pray for support, unconditional love, healing and therapy for the victims and their families. I pray that as a society we take the time to educate ourselves on these sick and unspoken situations. I hope our coaches, teachers, parents, managers, babysitters and neighbors now understand the importance and significance of the moral obligation we have to those who cannot protect themselves. I hope through this tragedy we find conversation and education about child abuse.
The most disturbing realization of the night: Jerry Sandusky is out on $100,000 unsecured bail, which means he doesn't have to pay the bail money if he shows up for his court date in December.
Do you think he was at home watching this whole thing play out?

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Southside Elementary is one of 18 Kentucky schools that will send to students to arts events and performances with funds from a Kentucky Arts Council TranspARTation grant.
The grants provide funding to Kentucky classrooms for transportation to and from live arts events. Grants are based on the mileage from the school building to the arts organization or performance venue and the number of buses necessary.
Southside Principal Renee Maynard said taking students on field trips was more expensive than ever.
"It takes hundreds of dollars just to take a bus as far as Pikeville," she said. "So we appreciate the grant as an opportunity to take classes to the University of Pikeville and the Mountain Arts Center."
"The arts play an important and well-documented role in the comprehensive education experience," said Lori Meadows, executive director of the Arts Council. "We are so glad schools across the state are taking advantage of this funding opportunity to further enrich education through the arts. The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, supports educational field trips with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts."
Southsides's TranspARTation grantsSouthside was for $2,256.

you know very little thought is being put into how to prevent school children from being easy targets for evil and deranged people with terrorist acts in mind.
now a couple of armed men could well have prevented the current disaster provided they had been on site.
i would like to station a squad of USMC grunts or army rangers at every school but this would be expensive and they have other duty to attend to.
school teachers at least most of them are hardly candidates for military type duty --but there are a few with the moxy that could be called on.
maybe the national guard could train special screened teacher applicants for school student protection?
no i ain't saying give that old lard ass math teacher a m-16 and turn him loose--
just special fully screened applicants that are the right age, with the right mental aptitude and can complete the training --which will be extensive.
teachers could sort of have their own defense squad armed and with communication gear --
these teachers would get special pay bonuses and would have extra status --they would not be under control of the school but the national guard.
so they can't be fired or laid off at the whim of the superintendent and would be outside the schools internal political machine.
it would have to be this way or the school would just hoard or steal the funds ---
the IDF did this years ago although their probably under their army.
what has russia done in this regard? they had some far bigger terrorist attacks against their schools--what actions did they take?
even with a couple of TOE teacher/guards there will still be some exposure --at least we would be addressing the most glaring holes and exposures.
if each school had a small squad of trained and dedicated teachers with about four of them ready at all times--- i don't think these wac-jobs could get very far--
and as far as i can tell the wack-jobs are looking for easy undefended targets --that don't shoot back.
acouple of tough combat type courses by the national guard--heavy on weapons and accuracy. train them to shoot for the head--sort of like the air marshals---
anybody else think this could work?

text: Blue Storm is a dark navy blue with a purplish tint and silver sparkle. It gets a little darker and more cohesive when used damp as compared to dry. This shade has come out before, and yet I don't have the original version (I'm at an utter loss as to why). It is similar to Givenchy Lune Mordoree. It's not as dark as MAC Later.

Wednesday, March 27, 2013
With a 7-2 overall mark, Berkeley emerged from the first week of Region 7AAA softball play with a 3-0 mark with wins over James Island, Hanahan and Stall.
These Lady Stags are in command of their own destiny.
Against James Island Berkeley put three runs on the board in the first and made them stand to down the Lady Trojans 4-3 on March 18.
In the first with one-out, Ashtin Kullnat walked and advanced on Brooklyn Stone's single to left. R.J. Reid followed with a bases clearing double to plate both Kullnat and Stone to put Berkeley on top 3-0.
In the third after James Island answered with a single run in the top half of the inning, Kullnat reached after being hit by a pitch and advanced to third on Stone's second hit of the night. Kullnat scored on Blake Ponder's pop out to short.
Stone scattered six hits en route to the win and struck out five.
In the 6-3 win over Hanahan, it was more of the same for the Lady Stags, this time a five-run third inning that saw Berkeley hit around accounted for the damage.
Kelston Hilton led off with a walk, advanced on Ponder's single, and scored on Kullnat's RBI base knock. Ponder scored when Stone's fly ball to center was misplayed for an error. Reid's RBI base hit scored Kullnat and Peyton Svagerko's sacrifice fly to center tallied the final run of the inning.
In the sixth Berkeley plated an insurance run. Annabelle Stevens singled up the middle and scored on Stone's base hit, her second RBI of the game.
Stone scattered seven hits and struck out six to earn the complete game win.
Region action continues for the Lady Stags this week against Orangeburg-Wilkinson and Hilton Head, and on Friday a non-region tilt against Timberland.

The debate on weather Brazilians can legally carry weapons is again all alive In 2005, more than 63% of the Brazilians voted against a law which would prohibit weapons to be sold and carried.
I would have voted for the law (to abolish free carriage of weapons) in 2005. Today, I would vote against it. There is a rational for allowing people to carry guns, that is registered guns. Almost all murders and kidnappings in Brazil are done by illegal guns. Actually, in the Southern Brazilian states, where there is the highest number of legal guns per citizens, only 59% of all murders were caused by firearms in contrast to 70% in the Northeast where there is the lowest number of legal firearms per citizen.
Just look at South African Farmitracker to understand why you would want to carry a gun nin South Africa.
The core discussion should not be focused on posession of guns, rather the sales and traficing of illegal weapons.
Yesterday the South African National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC) announced that South Africa sold R 70 million of arms to Libya in 2010. The South African government approved in 2010 the sale of a whopping R 35 billion of military hardware to 78 of the world's most repressive regimes; exports included: Algeria (R 158,3 million), Azerbaijan (R 119,1 million), Burundi (R 119,1 million), Equatorial Guinea (R 5,8 million), Pakistan (R 34,6 million), China (R60,5 million) and Saudi Arabia (R 68,2 million).The production capacity of South Africa in the illegal arms dealing within Africa is just absolutely mindblowing. The map below says it all: why don't the US and Europe stop all export of weapons and ask other countries to do the same? A worldwide ruling that handguns and rifles cannot be exported by any country. Each state can produce their weapons themselves.

On Sunday, EA and Visceral released the launch trailer for "Dead Space 3″ and fans are already reacting with mixed feelings. The trailer features large chunks of gameplay footage, combined with a few CGI pieces, setting the scene for Isaac's next adventure, as well as an iconic song.
Yes, that is Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight," reworked and tweaked to set the specific atmosphere. There have been a few misreports that it is the Nonpoint cover, recorded for their album "Recoil" and featured prominently in the 2006 movie version of "Miami Vice." If you listen to Nonpoint's version, and compare with Phil Collins' original, you can hear it's definitely not the former. At least it's not the hideous Gregorian version — remember when that was a thing? Surely we can agree that's good, right?
This is one of the few occasions in which I'll say that the haters should have a Coke and a smile, because Collins' haunting piece lays perfectly over the trailer. Yes, it has a decidedly more action feel than the original and even the sequel, but it look to be a solid conclusion to the story. Though I will concede the point that it looks as though Bradley Cooper briefly stepped into Isaac's armor.
"Dead Space 3″ releases February 5, 2013 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The demo is available via XBL and PSN right now so if you haven't check it out, you should.

The Aiken County Sheriff's Office is investigating an armed robbery at the Family Dollar on Sand Bar Ferry Road in Beech Island on Saturday night.
A cashier at the store said that while he was ringing up a customer, a black man entered the store, pointed what appeared to be a pistol that was covered by a purple towel at him and said, "Give me the money." The cashier said he gave the man the drop box from the cash register that contained an unknown amount of money and an unknown amount of money that was already out of the register.
The subject then left the store through the front door and fled toward Sand Bar Ferry Road.
The responding officer's report described the subject as a 25- to 30-year-old male with a "medium brown complexion," He weighs 160 to 180 pounds and is 6 feet to 6 feet 3 inches tall. The subject was wearing a white T-shirt and gray pants. A black hood and scarf covered his head.

Apple is taking a lot of flak at the moment with the new Maps application. Replacing Google Maps in iOS 6 looks to have backfired if you're to believe the media. After all, this is a digital wound, and if it bleeds it leads. The moment will pass, and when it does, Apple will be in a far healthier position than if they had renewed their mapping deal with Google.
I want to stress one thing though. In all the coverage, one idea many are voicing is that Steve Jobs would not have released Maps for iOS 6 in the current condition. That's wrong. Not only would Steve Jobs have released Maps, he would have demanded it.
Let's be clear, Steve Jobs has made mistakes before with iPhone and iOS. Take the issues around the iPhone 4′s antennae, which if held incorrectly would decrease the effectiveness of the cellular radio. They happened on his watch. That was an issue that should have been caught in quality control. How about MobileMe, which was launched to great fanfare, which it followed up with by failing rather spectacularly.
Both of these issues made it out of Cupertino and into the hands of the consumer. Just as the new Apple powered version of Maps has done.
"You might ask, why should I believe them? They're the ones that brought me MobileMe… It wasn't our finest hour, but we learned a lot". Steve Jobs, June 2011.
Here's the thing, Steve Jobs missed some showstoppers in his time, but he was also a risk taker who always played to win the long game. Launching iOS Maps now is a risk, but it is a necessary one for Tim Cook to play that long game.
One of Apple's biggest historical risks, at least in the eyes of the media, was the cancellation of the iPod Mini. It was Apple's number one product, it was the world's best-selling MP3 player, and overnight it was taken away. Something was in the wings (the solid-state iPod Nano), but at the time the decision was regarded as a short-term error. In the long-term you have to say it was the right decision.
When the iPhone launched, it was incomplete. Data was only available over GPRS/EDGE competing devices were already using 3G. It lacked basic functionality such as copy and paste, the ability to send and receive MMS's, and it would not allow third-party apps to run using native code. It would improve over time, but Apple had put everyone on notice, and they started to work on long game. Now, the new iPhone 5 can draw a direct evolutionary path to that original design.
I believe that the principle of launching early and iterating in public is exactly what is driving the decision behind iOS Maps. It's not perfect at the moment, but keeping the software under wraps would not improve it or make for a better out-the-box experience in six months time. If it was not launched this week, when should it be launched? Apple's data set will not improve until it is in the hands of the public.
Mapping is not just about presenting the basic data that you can bring in from TomTom, Google, NAVTEQ, or any other geo-data company. It's about keeping all the data up to date, it's about taking user data points to correct the existing data. It's about interfacing the map with location databases, company directories, personal experiences, and moments from social media. It's about feeding the data set with as much data as you can collect. Data that enriches the entire experience for everyone. Data that is fed back to the users.
The result is a modern and mobile search engine.
That's the long game right there. It's less about giving Google a place in the iOS ecosystem, it's about ensuring that Apple has its own data set that millions of people will search on every day. As we move from desktop to mobile, habits change. The primary search box is not on a web page, the primary search box is on a map. Apple wants to control the search box in their own operating system, and that means taking full and autonomous control of the mapping experience.
That's why Google had to go. That's why Apple has decided to build their own mapping environment from the ground up. They want to be in control of one of the key touchstones of modern life. And if there was one mantra that Steve Jobs believed in, it was that Apple had to be in control of their own destiny.
Would Jobs have dumped Google Maps and released Apple's own Maps application in iOS 6? Even if he knew that the data was incomplete, and the media would have a field day? Knowing that the only way to improve it was through millions of iPhone users working with the Maps application every day?
Yes. Of course he would have released Maps.
It's just that Steve Jobs might have presented the rough edges a little bit better.

The Ashley Ridge girls' soccer team is in the driver's seat for Region 8-AAAA after earning a 3-2 victory over Beaufort Tuesday.
"Beaufort has been our toughest competition so I couldn't be more proud of our girls," Ashley Ridge coach Mark Weaver said. "Beaufort beat us twice last year and both of our games with them this year have been decided on penalty kicks so these two victories are sweet."
The Swamp Foxes improved to 9-3 on the season and 6-0 in region play with the win, which left both Beaufort and Fort Dorchester holding a 4-3 region record entering play Friday. Ashley Ridge will claim at least a share of the region championship unless it loses all four of its remaining region games.
"The girls are extremely confident this year," Weaver said. "They understand that if they go out and play their game, they can play with anybody and beat anybody."
The Swamp Foxes scored first with a goal from Amelia Clower but Beaufort answered so the teams entered halftime in a 1-1 tie. The second half was all about defense but each team did manage to score a goal in the final 10 minutes of regulation. Sara Goodwin had the Ashley Ridge goal.
After two overtime periods the score was still knotted at 2-2 so the game was decided in a penalty-kick shootout that the Swamp Foxes won 3-2.
"It was a very tight game," Weaver said. "Beaufort possessed very well but when we settled down we started to control the ball and move the ball. It's amazing how much heart our girls played with tonight. You could tell they were getting tired but they sucked it up to hold Beaufort off the last few minutes of regulation and in overtime."
Ashley Ridge had PKs from Carlie Blankenship, Goodwin and Taylor Johnson while Swamp Fox keeper Allyson Manns made an athletic save and Beaufort sailed two PKs over the top of the goal.
"Allyson has been amazing this year," Weaver said. "She has stepped up and saved us in some big spots and she is just a freshman."
Ashley Ridge hosts Summerville Friday. Next week the Swamp Foxes will travel to Colleton County (10-4, 4-4) Tuesday and host Bluffton (2-12, 1-5) Friday. Their final region game, at Fort Dorchester, has been postponed until April 30.

I've since learned that seaweed can be sprinkled on salads, added to soups and sauces and even baked into a salty treat. Indeed, because of the saltiness of seaweed, it is an ideal addition to brothy soups, like this Miso, Mushroom and Seaweed soup that I made for the dinner the other night.
Not only does seaweed contain loads of minerals and vitamins essential to good health, it is also good for your skin and hair and is known to have cleansing properties. I now have three different types of seaweed on hand and plan to incorporate this healthy gift from the ocean into my diet more often.
Mushroom, Miso and Seaweed SoupMore mushroom soups from my vegetarian kitchen:
14 grams of mixed dried mushrooms
4 - 5 strips of wakame seaweed
6 ounces of button mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces of shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
1 large shallot, cut into thin strips
2 scallions, green and white parts, cut into thin rings
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons of dulse seaweed, crumbled or cut into small pieces
7 cups of water
2 tablespoons of dark miso
a splash of tamari sauce
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
In a small bowl, soak the dried mushrooms in 1 cup of hot water for 20 minutes. In another small bowl, soak the wakame in 1 cup of warm water for 20 minutes. Drain both the mushrooms and wakame seaweed, reserving the soaking liquid.
In a large pot, bring the reserved soaking liquid, along with the remaining 5 cups of water, and the ginger, white parts of the scallions and shallot to a boil. Now add the soaked dried and fresh mushrooms to the pot and the dulse seaweed and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
While the mushrooms are cooking, place the miso in a small bowl with a few tablespoons of hot water and mix with a fork until the miso is dissolved. Add to the soup pot, along with the wakame seaweed, tamari sauce and black pepper, and simmer gently for another few minutes. Adjust seasonings accordingly. Garnish each steaming bowl of soup with some of the scallion greens.
Serves 4.

Kilim Bijar
A pileless floor covering handwoven by tapestry techniques in Anatolia, the Balkans, or parts of Iran. In the rest of Iran, the Caucasus, and Turkistan, the name for similar pieces is palaz. In most kilims, a slit occurs wherever two colours meet along a vertical line in the pattern, but in a few Karabagh or South Caucasian pieces, interlocking methods are employed in order to minimize these slits.The Turks have produced the largest kilims, usually in two narrow pieces joined, as well as small ones and a multitude of prayer kilims. As a prayer rug, which is carried about with the worshiper, the light and extremely flexible kilim offers obvious advantages. In Turkish kilims, cotton is often used for the white areas, and small details may be brocaded. The kilims of the southern Balkans began as close copies of Anatolian types but have gradually developed into individual styles, such as the black, red, and white kilims of Pirot. In Romania, also, there are varied local fashions, progressively less Oriental in colour and pattern as the distance from Turkey increases. The name kilim is also given to a variety of brocaded, embroidered, warp-faced, and other flat-woven rugs and bags.

CRESTVIEW — The Okaloosa Rollers will donate a portion of proceeds from Saturday's roller derby to the Wounded Warrior Project. The rollers will face the Mississippi Brawl Stars at 6:30 p.m. at Davidson Middle School.
"Many of our skaters are military, so this month's charity is very special to us," said team referee Danielle Jordan.
Jordan, who heads the team's sponsorships this year, said the team regularly donates 20 percent of ticket sales to their charity of choice.
All funds not used toward the match ─for overhead like venue payment, track tape, and players' food and water ─will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. The nonprofit organization raises awareness and enlists the public's aid for injured service members' needs.
The Okaloosa Rollers, in the middle of their second season, maintain a team of 11 women players, with two coaches and two referees.
The Okaloosa Rollers represent the entire county, Jordan said.
"We have girls not just from Crestview but from Baker, Fort Walton Beach and Eglin (Air Force Base)," Jordan said. "We are always looking for more."
See their website, okrollers.com, for more information.

CRESTVIEW — It will come as little surprise to motorists slogging through northbound State Road 85 rush hour traffic to learn the city's traffic consultant said that the major north-south artery is a major impediment to the community's growth. During a Nov. 26 presentation to the Crestview City Council, the consultant reported a key is not expanding the state highway, but removing more local traffic from it.
Whit Blanton, vice president and principal of the Renaissance Planning Group, told council members that with the city's projected growth — the population is expected to double to more than 40,000 residents within 25 years — but little federal or state highway funding, it's up to the city to find creative ways to alleviate traffic on S.R. 85's problem stretch between P.J. Adams Parkway and downtown.
"The wait won't be growing shorter, it will be growing longer," Blanton said.
"The big issue in looking at how to evaluate the different transportation connections is how to alleviate the traffic on 85," Blanton said. "There's not much you can do about 85 but there is something you can do about trips beginning or ending in Crestview. About 60 percent of the traffic that is on 85 has a beginning or end in the city of Crestview."
A partial solution to alleviating some of that traffic is to make it easier to access destinations in town with a network of east-west and north-south connections that make it easier for local traffic to access businesses and residential areas without having to travel on S.R. 85, the Renaissance study stated. The group's study showed local traffic on S.R. 85 could be reduced by as much as 35 percent using a local road network.
"Economic development is not going to happen if you don't have good connectivity," Blanton said.
Using roads such as the Brookmeade Drive extension has already alleviated some of the S.R. 85 congestion by routing local traffic north from Wal-Mart behind the North Okaloosa Medical Center, Blanton observed. Motorists taking "the back way," using Brookmeade to Redstone Avenue and Okaloosa Lane to U.S. Highway 90, bypass S.R. 85 entirely.
"The plan recommends developing a city network to make those connections," Blanton said. "You can do a lot on your own to make traffic better in the city and then work over time to develop that bypass."
While an optimum solution is the long-discussed P.J. Adams Parkway/Antioch Road bypass around the southwest part of the city, Renaissance's report faces the economic reality that there is no funding for the project. Some of the study's recommendations include:
• A bike and pedestrian network that mirrors recommendations for local street networks.
• Improve bus service, increasing it from the current one bus every 70 minutes, "which is pretty lousy," to 20 or 30 minutes. Also revisit plans for a commuter bus service to Eglin Air Force Base from park-and-ride lots in Crestview.
• Revisiting the S.R. access management plan "that didn't go over so well" a few years ago, but this time, work with business and property owners to lay a foundation for them to "buy in with an access management strategy."
• Incorporate the Renaissance study into the city's comprehensive plan. "Once you codify this in your comp plan it gives you more leverage when you work with developers," Blanton said.
• Prioritize local network projects and incorporate them into the city's capital improvement plan as funds allow.
• Work in coordination with private development to realize some of the plan's components.
"(S.R.) 85 is still going to be congested unless you choose to widen it, which is not economically feasible or desirable," Blanton said.

Cheese company buys Castleton CrackersBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | December 07,2012Theres no denying cheese and crackers are an irresistible combination.
Its also a match that Castleton Crackers and Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company couldnt resist, either.
On Thursday, Vermont Farmstead Cheese announced that it had acquired Castleton Crackers from founder Whitney Lamy.
Five years after baking her first batch of crackers at her Castleton home, Lamy said Castleton Crackers had grown to the point where it was the right time to sell the company.
Lamy, who will now head the Castleton Food Division of Vermont Farmstead Cheese, said her new job means spending less time on administrative work and really getting out there doing product development and sales and marketing.
She said Castleton Crackers will continue to be made at the bakery in Manchester.
Merger discussions with the South Woodstock cheese company began a couple of months ago and culminated with Thursdays announcement, Lamy said. No sale price was disclosed.
For Vermont Farmstead Cheese, the acquisition fits with the companys plan to add a cracker line, said Vince Galluccio, a member of the Vermont Farmstead board of directors and its former chairman.
We share the same distributors; we share the same retailers, Galluccio said. So its a great move economically for both companies to help each other expand.
He said the acquisition will free up Lamy to do her entrepreneurial thing.
It looks like it was meant to happen, Galluccio said. Whitney is a great, great person and well respected in the industry.
An official announcement will be made at noon, Saturday at the Rutland winter farmers market on West Street nearly five years after Lamy started her company in January 2008.
From a business perspective, she said the cheese and cracker companies complement each other.
In my research, what really excites me is even nationwide, I dont know of any other cheese and cracker companies that have come together like this, especially artisan companies that really complement each other, Lamy said.
Looking ahead, Lamy said the merged company wants to build the Vermont brand. Theyre rolling out shortly a line of salad dressings and dips and spreads that uses the leftover whey from their cheesemaking operations, she said.
In that same sustainable vein, Castleton Crackers will be using Vermont Farmstead ingredients in Lamys recipes.
Galluccio said Vermont Farmstead Cheese has its sights set on increasing production. The companys cheese is already available in 32 states and will make its debut on the West Coast in March.
So, were hoping to bring Castleton Crackers along with us, too, as that offering of cheese and crackers, he said. I think there are a lot of synergies there from a marketing side and were looking to capitalize on that.
He said the company has approximately 16 employees with plans to hire another dozen.
Galluccio said Vermont Farmstead has enjoyed success in part because it found a niche making old world cheeses that many companies dont do. Other factors in its success are owed to having an excellent cheesemaker on board, dedicated employees and a sound marketing strategy, he said.
Castleton Crackers (www.castletoncrackers.com) is sold in stores in 26 states. The handcrafted crackers are sold in several varieties, including Middlebury Maple and Rutland Rye.
Vermont Farmstead Cheese (vermontfarmstead.com) makes a variety of artisan cheeses, including cheddar and Windsordale. The company, which operates its own dairy, recently expanded to the Windsor Industrial Park, where it operates a production facility and retail/visitor center.

The cure for anything is salt water—sweat, tears, or the sea.

The cure for anything is salt water—sweat, tears, or the sea.
Isak Dinesen
Energy drinks have taken over the soft drink market in a caffeine-fueled frenzy. To listen to their ad campaigns, you'd be sure that this has everything to do with your health. Now instead of leaving the convenience store with a gut bomb, you can grab a Monster can of Adrenaline that promises to Redline your performance until you're partying like a Rockstar. But do energy drinks really give you wings? Or are you more likely to experience a fleeting glimpse of euphoria, only to come crashing down like Icarus?
Since Red Bull entered the U.S. market in 1997, energy drinks have been chipping away at the soft drink and bottled water companies' stranglehold. According to an article in The New York Times, energy drinks have now surpassed bottled water as the fastest growing category of beverages. This isn't to say that they're hurting the soda companies, because pretty much everyone now makes an energy drink, from Hansen's to Steven Seagal. Despite a slew of drinks with far more provocative names such as Who's Your Daddy?, Cocaine, Whoopass, and Beaver Buzz, the industry leader is still Red Bull sales, not profits, are projected over $3 billion this year.
Energy drinks have been around for decades, particularly in Asia and mainly in Japan. They weren't soft drinks like they are today. Instead, they were small vials of liquid promising to promote performance. These vials were usually filled with caffeine, many herbs containing caffeine, and some vitamins. Their target audience was businessmen, to aid their long work schedules.
Red Bull took its name and certain ingredients from a Thai supplement. They watered it down and added sugar so that it could be consumed as a soft drink, targeting the under-30 crowd, and voilà, a new market was formed. Pretty much everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. The more consumer-friendly varieties tend to be larger and resemble soft drinks, but there are still some aimed at more "sports-specific" audiences, like bodybuilders and ravers. These will often come in a smaller package resembling the vials that you get overseas, which are probably more suitable for those who want to feel as though they're doing something illegal.
So what's in the stuff that makes it so special and, even more importantly, is it special? The ingredients vary, but there is one constant: caffeine. No matter what any energy drink professes, its secret ingredient is caffeine. Many contain various forms of caffeine, like guarana, yerba maté, and tea, but caffeine is the business they're in. Everything else is a side dish.
As an example, let's take a closer look at Red Bull's active ingredients.
Sucrose, glucose. Like most soft drinks, the number one ingredient, by far, is sugar (check out this article for "6 Foods with Hidden Sugar"). This is where all of the calories come from in a Red Bull. Sugar provides an instant energy rush, but its effects are anything but energizing after only a few minutes. A study conducted at the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom exemplified exactly the opposite of this instant energy-rush effect. The study showed that a high-sugar and low-caffeine energy drink would promote sleepiness, not energy.
"Energy drinks are a misnomer," reported Lona Sandon, an assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, to HealthDay News. "Sure, they provide energy in the form of calories, usually from some form of a simple sugar, but simple sugars are digested, absorbed, and metabolized very quickly, so the energy they contain doesn't last long."
Sodium citrate. A food additive or preservative, usually added because of its tart flavor. However, it's also alkaline and inhibits blood clotting. Because it's an effective buffering agent, it may help you utilize other nutrients better. A British study in 2003 also showed that it improved running times. However, in this study, the amount used was 37 grams. Since a Red Bull's only measurable ingredient is 27 grams of sugar (not counting the water), it's unlikely that the amount of sodium citrate will add any noticeable velocity to your wing speed.
Taurine. Originally came from bull bile, which is where Red Bull got its name. Now it's synthesized and, of all the ingredients in a Red Bull, the least understood. While it's associated with many benefits—and some dangers—virtually nothing is proven other than it being essential for your cat's health. In the energy drink world, some studies showing that it could reduce muscle fatigue are the most promising. Studies have concluded, however, that it is not an energy enhancer.
Glucuronolactone. A naturally occurring chemical compound produced by glucose metabolism in the liver. Because it was once rumored (now disproved) to be linked with brain tumors during the Vietnam era, it was not a popular ingredient, until Red Bull used it due to its reputation for improving memory retention and concentration. Years later, there is still no conclusive proof, but it's become a popular ingredient in energy drinks across the board.
Caffeine. Now here's the business. Caffeine is a plant alkaloid found in over 60 species of plants such as guarana, kola nut, maté, tea, and, of course, coffee. Over 19,000 studies have been done on caffeine and most of them have been positive—the truly dangerous conclusions drawn by some studies have yet to be proven. The upside is so well known that there's no need to go into it. Caffeine is now arguably more popular than ever and it's estimated that 90 percent of American adults consume it in some form. But this is nothing new, it's been used as a stimulant for as long as we've been recording history (and perhaps it's even the cause of us recording history).
Caffeine is not without its downside. Too much can make you jittery, anxious, unable to sleep, and even paranoid. It increases the production of stomach acid and can lead to an assortment of ailments. It's also addicting and those who drink caffeine daily will suffer withdrawal symptoms if they can't get it. It has a toxic dosage, but it's so high that death by caffeine is highly unlikely, if not altogether impossible, unless consumed in its pure form. It is worth noting that over a certain amount (the average being around 400 mg—three or four cups of coffee), caffeine intoxication may occur, which is an unpleasant condition that may include heart palpitations, irritability, anxiousness, and insomnia. For more on caffeine and coffee, read "Nutrition 911, Part VIII: Coffee—Friend or Foe?"
Inositol. I'm only going to go into this ingredient enough to show why many ingredients are added to supplements and drinks—only for show. Inositol, as a supplement, has some promising science behind it, but you would need to drink approximately 350 Red Bulls—enough to kill you from caffeine intoxication—to get the dosage used in the studies. Therefore, its inclusion here is to merely sound important. This is similar to many "teas" and other convenience store elixirs that tout important-sounding ingredients on the label but only contain trace amounts of those ingredients.
Here we refer to both the amount of ingredients and the cost of such ingredients. Energy drinks are expensive and, given the amount you get of each ingredient, you'd better really like the way they taste. If not, you're being ripped off.
Let's start with sugar. First off, sugar is not performance enhancing, so paying extra for it makes little sense. If you want sugar, buy something that tastes good. Many energy drinks are also made with artificial sweeteners which are exactly the same low-grade additives that you can get in a can of Big K diet soda for 25 cents.
Caffeine is cheap, as is coffee, and the average cup of coffee has three times more caffeine than the average energy drink. There are whole Web sites set up to help you do the math on this. One such site, Energyfiend.com, lists the milligrams of caffeine per ounce contained in each energy drink. The more commercial brands, like Rockstar and Red Bull, have far less than some of the more esoteric brands. But nothing, except the one-ounce caffeine shots, beats a good old cup o' joe.
While the above-listed ingredients are the flagship ingredients of promotion, they aren't added in amounts that are effective. If you like the science behind taurine or inositol, you're better off buying it in bulk and then drinking plain coffee or tea.
While there is little doubt you will gain a burst of energy from these drinks, it's unlikely to be sustained energy. Furthermore, the type of rush you get will be followed with a crash that will make you crave more. Because these have very little nutrient value, chances are that consumption of more than a couple will leave you feeling edgy or downright irritable.
Energy drinks may have a place in your diet, but with proper fueling and regular exercise, like with Hip Hop Abs™ Dance Party Series or Yoga Booty Ballet®, you are unlikely to need them regularly, if ever. We tend to be low on energy because we make poor food choices, sleep too little, exercise too little, and stress too much. No drug can offset this behavior except during the short term. Energy drinks should be nothing but an emergency solution.
A popular use of energy drinks is as a cocktail mixer. Bars commonly promote such concoctions and energy drink companies often sponsor social gatherings. While mixing stimulants and depressants has been common among the partying sect for a long time, that doesn't make it safe. A 2006 study found a possible link between energy drinks and seizures, and research shows that combining heavy stimulants with heavy depressants could lead to heart failure. Remember that all rock stars don't make it through their partying years.
Your lifestyle has more to do with your energy level than anything else. Consistent and intense exercise keeps your hormones working in balance and your body on an even keel. A proper diet with plenty of fiber, protein, vitamins, and good fatty acids that's supported by plenty of fresh water will give you long-term sustained energy. Finally, getting ample sleep helps you recover from the stress and breakdown of everyday life (read my "10 Tips for Restful Sleep"). This is your real Pimp Juice if you want to keep your Diesel engine going Full Throttle all day, even if you've got to catch a Red Eye.

Perspiration, or sweating, is an important and unavoidable part of any decent workout. In fact, you'll find plenty of workout titles in the Beachbody catalog that contain the word "sweat." So why are we trying to make you sweat so much and what does sweat do for us anyway? Why is it that some of us sweat more than others and what can we do to lessen sweat's smelly sidekick, body odor?
The human body contains about 2.8 million sweat glands, a complex subcutaneous misting system that operates all day, all night, over almost every inch of your body, to help keep you cool. Even if you think you're not sweating, you are—the amount of fluid is just so small that it evaporates almost immediately.
There are two general types of sweat glands: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. The eccrine glands are the most common ones. They excrete water with a little bit of sodium pretty much any place you have skin. This is the sweat on your palms, your feet, and your face, and the sweat that pours out in buckets after a good Hip Hop Abs™ workout. The apocrine glands are located primarily under your arms and in the genital area. In addition to water and saline, the apocrine glands also excrete small amounts of fat and protein. This is what turns the armpits of your T-shirts yellow. (There is also a third type of sweat gland, the ceruminous gland, that produces ear wax, and is located in, duh, your ear).
Sweat itself is odorless—it's the bacteria on your skin that causes body odor. When fat and protein are excreted by the apocrine glands, they are metabolized by the bacteria, creating that unpleasant, all-too-familiar odor. Our apocrine glands don't usually get fired up until adolescence, which explains why little kids can run around and get all sweaty without smelling much worse. It's also why teenagers and adults can benefit from antiperspirants and deodorants, while they don't do anything for children.
There are three basic reasons we sweat: it's hot out, our nervous system is in overdrive, or we've just created extra body heat through muscle exertion. You can probably guess which one is preferable.
Sweating during exercise can refresh, invigorate, and detoxify, as well as potentially cause extreme olfactory discomfort for the people in your general vicinity. The good news is that sweat itself is odorless. It's essentially just water and salt. The sweat from the apocrine glands in the armpits and genital area adds a little extra fat and protein to the mix, which the bacteria on your skin will metabolize, creating a less-than-refreshing aroma. So once your workout's over, the clock is ticking. It's a race against time between you and the bacteria on your skin. The sooner you hit the showers after a workout, the better chance you have of not leaving a malodorous scent in your wake. Deodorants can help mask the scent and antiperspirants contain aluminum compounds that can cause your sweat glands to close, but they really only make about a 20- to 30-percent difference. Also, contrary to some rumors, antiperspirants are generally considered safe.
Pay attention to the smells that are coming out of your body, though. They could be telling you something. For instance, if your sweat smells of ammonia during a long workout, it is likely due to your muscles breaking down, which generally means you are under-fueled. An ammonia smell could also be an indication of liver or kidney disease. And if your sweat has a sweet, fruity smell, it could be a symptom of diabetes. It might be worth reporting any change in body odor to your physician, as well as any change in the amount you sweat or when you sweat. For example, if you experience night sweats, cold sweats, or excessive sweating for no reason, your body might be sending you a message to get medical attention.

Google Music's Scan and Match now available in the US
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Google, Music, Storage
When Google Music came to Europe, it brought a new feature not available in the US -- Scan and Match. It's similar to iTunes Match, whereas it scans your local music collection and puts them in the cloud so that you don't have to.
After downloading the Music Manager, it will match your songs up with Google's, and begin "uploading" your songs into the cloud at a rate of about 30 seconds per album. After your music is in the cloud, you can listen to it on different devices, even iOS if you use Google's HTML5 web app.
Now US users are able to take advantage of this feature. It's free, and automatic for the most part, so you won't have to go through the cumbersome process of backing up your digital music collection solo.

Why there is no 16GB Microsoft Surface option
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Microsoft, Storage
When Microsoft announced Surface pre-orders, many consumers were puzzled by the lack of a 16GB option for the tablet. We got a lot of emails from readers wondering what was up, and it looks like we've got our answer. The Surface starts at 32GB of storage, and as it turns out, the user is left with 20GB of usable storage space on that model. That means that Windows RT and the pre-installed Office RT apps use up 12GB of space. In other words, if there were a 16GB model, the user would be left with just 4GB of space for their own documents, apps, and anything else. That would just make for a bad user experience, so Microsoft decided to start with 32GB of storage so that Surface users would still have a substantial amount of free space to use as they see fit. By comparison, a 32GB iPad leaves the user with about 31GB of free space, since iOS and built-in apps take up just 1GB of storage.

By Butch Morris
Markwayne Mullin, our new congressional representative, came to see us last Wednesday evening. He is going to all the counties in his district to ask, firsthand, what are the concerns of his constituents.
Markwayne is one of the most approachable and down to earth politicians you will every meet. I think we did well electing him. Of course that is one of those deals where time will tell.
Markwayne has made his first visit to Washington for Freshman Orientation. He gave us an idea what it is like being a new congressman on the first day. He said that the first thing that happened was they split up the Democrats and Republicans. This may tell us a lot about why elected officials can't seem to get together on anything.
Of the the initial stops was the Ethics Committee. This is where the do's and don'ts are pointed out to the new members. He asked a few questions of them that they couldn't answer off the top of their heads. They are used to questions from lawyers and politicians, but not business people.
They were given their operational budget and instructions on setting up shop in DC. Markwayne said that Dan Boren has been very helpful to him with these issues. Of course Okies usually lend a helping hand to one another regardless of which team they happen to be on.
Markwayne has been assigned to two committees where his voice should be of value to Oklahomans. These are Natural Resources and Transportation and Infrastructure.
We would like to thank Congressman Mullin for this update and are looking forward to future updates from him and his field reps.
Push for a Better America is scheduling speakers from our congressional and senatorial offices for our 2013 monthly meetings. It is our desire to keep the public informed and provide the opportunity to have local voices heard on issues that effect them.
