Fresh Homemade Fruit and Nut Granola on my Kitchen Counter Makes me Happy
A few months back I received a text from my friend, a mom of 3 little tikes who lives in Portland, with this picture, saying:
Fresh granola on my kitchen counter makes me happy.
We often send text messages to each other with pictures of food we are eating, cooking, sharing with others. It's a way we stay in touch. I loved her granola pic, too, because deep in our hearts, we both love to make as much homemade foods as possible for our kids (3 under the age of 6; 3 over the age of 15).
Steph also inspired me to start making my own granola, and once I got into the routine, it not only provided a great snack (and breakfast) for the family, but it saved us a bunch of money!
Store-bought granola is way overpriced.
And often too sweet, according to my tastes. So you're going to love this recipe today. Which, by the way, you can play around with the recipe and add in your favorite nuts or fruits, double up on the liquid if you need to.
My recipe is a generic recipe, but one thing that I learned was to not use Quick Oats, but to instead use the Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats. I hand-chopped my almonds and walnuts, because we like the larger chunks, and the first time I used cranberries and golden raisins. I basically mixed it all together in a big bowl, decided I needed more liquid, and doubled that.
I ended up cooking the granola at 250 for over an hour. You can cook it (stirring every 20 minutes) to whatever texture you like for your own household.
Another thought about granola: If you're going through all the work of making it, make enough to keep your family satisfied! A small recipe only begs the question of:
Mom, when are you making more granola?
And guess who loves it the most in our family? Yup! Mom bags it up in Ziploc gallon bags for our college student.
It's a simple little care package full of homemade love! :)
What's homemade on your kitchen counter that makes your family happy?

Sounds great, Sandy. I've never made granola – thought it would be too sweet too. What's on my counter that's homemade? Honestly, nothing. There is a little basil plant that's keeping us all happy though.

Hi Sandy,
I am with you. I love to make as much as I can – homemade – for my family. One thing that both my husband and son love are what we call Texas Cowboy Cookies. I think of them as something my mom used to call Kitchen Sink Cookies…She used to say they have everything in them but the kitchen sink! LOL!!! They are basically oatmeal cookies with a ton of additional ingredients. Sort of like a granola bar in a cookie size.
When these are sitting on a plate on my kitchen counter I feel so happy that I have a nice snack for my family to grab rather than relying on something less healthy. And that fact that they are easy to make is a huge plus.
Hope you're having a great week!

So funny. I just texted a friend last night telling her I was dropping granola off for them this morning! When full meals are not doable, granola it is!
Homemade ice cream in the freezer, packaged individually, also makes me happy!
Love to you!

I make granola all the time. We love it so much more than the store bought stuff. Sandy, I thought of you when I saw this post from my friend Rebecca (Foodie with Family). It's a great idea for a quick breakfast. I thought I'd share with you:
- #5
I was just leaving a comment for someone else saying how much I LOVE homemade granola. There is really nothing like it. I could eat it by the bowl as a snack in front of the tv. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to make a batch right now. It makes the kitchen smell so good!!
- #6
Not only does it sound fab, it seems easy enough to make. One of those win-wins.
- #7
Tonight I made choc chip cookies, if the cookie jar is empty then I know I have to fill it. Even now that 3 of my adult children, 26, 23, 20 moved back home , I know I have to keep that jar filled. I love to cook and bake so pretty much everything is homemade around here.
- #8
Sandy! I love making granola and I agree – it's usually too sweet. Your recipe looks good….
I just made w/w sourdough bread and am loving having a sourdough starter that I've been able to keep alive….so far! Can't wait to see you in June :)
- #9
YUM! My family likes granola somewhat but aren't huge eaters of it. I should try making some of this..minus the coconut..LOL..I don't like coconut. I have begun making my own granola bars and eveyone even those outside our family love them. I love finding more "store bought" things that I can make homemade. Better value and better nutrition for my family!!
- #10
I'm going to make a big batch this weekend. Some for us and some to give away. Greek yogurt is my new favorite. Something I can readily digest and the granola will give me the added grains and fruit. Thank you!
- #11
Sounds positively delish! I think I have all the ingredients in the house except for pure maple syrup. Have you ever subbed with pancake syrup, corn syrup, etc? Any recommendations? I'm a little gun-shy because I severely flubbed my last attempt at homemade granola. ; )
- #12
I love homemade granola- and this recipe looks great! I double the batch, and then bag it up in individual sized baggies- my husband and I can take 5 at the beginning of the week to work and have it on hand to have with yogurt. It is such an easy week day meal!
- #13
I made this today. I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, and unsweetened coconut flakes. It needs just a touch more sweetener (probably because of the unsweetened coconut flakes). It was easy and is so yummy!
- #14
I made this last week and it's hands down the BEST GRANOLA I've ever had!!! Thank you Sandy!! It must be a fool-proof recipe….. I was using salted pecans and ALSO accidentally doubled the salt!! So I compensated by doubling the maple syrup and adding more coconut. I know this sounds like a disaster, but my husband who rarely eats cereal had it every day until it was gone! It wasn't as healthy as your version, but awesome nonetheless!
- #15
I made this granola last night and I'm so glad I did! I've been looking for a granola recipe that I liked as well as the one my mom used to make and this one hits the mark. It's super simple to make, not too sweet and tastes yummy . . . for real! I don't feel like I need to tweak it at all. I can't wait to serve it for brunch using your Entertaining with Canning Jars, Greek Yogurt and Granola idea–love that!
- #16
This is in the oven right now, can't wait to try it! I did lick my fingers when cleaning up and now I'm even more eager for it to finish baking!
- #17
Love this recipe!! I am craving homemade granola!!

I think you are correct.
Certainly with the bot I tested (anarki) he dodged much more with thinktime 0 as opposed to thinktime 100, or even thinktime 1.
Also there was a command for disabling bot chat.

Developed by the German team Deck 13, Blood Knights is an action RPG with a fantasy theme focused on vampires and hunters such, staged in a rather tending to action movie, only with a tone decidedly "magic" and supernatural. The story tells the adventures of a hero, a famous vampire hunter who, after having shed the blood of countless dark creatures in many battles, he finds himself to be transformed into its natural enemy, a vampire.
This of course gives him the powers of his new situation, but not off his combative ardor, so our finds himself fighting the dark beings from within. The gameplay is set mainly on the action, particularly on cooperative multiplayer, while another dominant feature is the collection of loot, in the classic western style action RPG.
Tested with Rogero 4.40

And 'biological mechanism' that leads to adverse reactions identified, officials add
MONDAY, April 21 (HealthDay News) -- Contaminated heparin products have now been found in at least nine countries, not including the United States, leading to ongoing surveillance measures to ensure the safety of the blood thinner, U.S. health officials announced Monday.
In addition, officials said contaminated lots of the blood thinner have been traced to 12 different Chinese companies that were somehow involved in heparin manufacture. Officials believe a man-made chemical called oversulfated condroitin sulfate -- or OSCS -- may be responsible for dozens of deaths and hundreds of adverse reactions in the United States associated with contaminated heparin between roughly last November and February. The heparin was marketed by Baxter International Inc., of Deerfield, Ill.
"We do not know where the contamination occurred but we do know ... of at least 12 Chinese firms that are in the supply chain for contaminated heparin," Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said at a news conference.
According to the FDA, contaminated heparin has now been linked to as many as 81 deaths and hundreds of injuries in United States, and well as some incidents in Germany.
Woodcock also announced that the FDA has identified a likely "biological mechanism" by which the oversulfated condroitin sulfate leads to the adverse reactions observed. Those reactions include difficulty breathing, nausea or vomiting, excessive sweating and falling blood pressure, and life-threatening shock.
Woodcock's announcement seemed to conflict with statements made earlier Monday by Chinese officials who said that oversulfated condroitin sulfate was not responsible for the reported injuries and deaths.
"We are aware that our Chinese colleagues are skeptical that such a link has been established. We are

RFID-Based Automatic Vehicle Parking System
Bikramjeet Waraich
RFID technology is used in vehicle parking systems of malls and buildings (refer Fig. 1). The system normally consists of a vehicle counter, sensors, display board, gate controller, RFID tags and RFID reader. Presented here is an automatic vehicle parking system using AT89S52 microcontroller.
RFID system fundamentals
Basically, an RFID system consists of an antenna or coil, a transceiver (with decoder) and a transponder (RF tag) electronically programmed with unique information. There are many different types of RFID systems in the market. These are categorised on the basis of their frequency ranges. Some of the most commonly used RFID kits are low-frequency (30-500kHz), mid-frequency (900kHz-1500MHz) and high-frequency (2.4-2.5GHz).
Antennae are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. These can be built into a door frame to receive tag data from persons or things passing through the door, or mounted on an inter-state tollbooth to monitor the traffic passing by on a freeway. The electromagnetic field produced by the antenna can be constantly present when multiple tags are expected continually. If constant interrogation is not required, a sensor device can activate the field.
Often the antenna is packaged with a transceiver and decoder to act as a reader (interrogator), which can be configured either as a handheld or a fixed-mount device. The reader emits radio waves in the range of 2.5 cm to 30 metres or more, depending upon its power output and the radio frequency used. When an RFID tag passes through the electromagnetic zone, it detects the reader's activation signal. The reader decodes the data encoded in the tag's integrated circuit (silicon chip) and communicates to the host computer for processing.
RFID tag can be placed on individual items, cases or pallets for identification purposes, as well as fixed assets such as trailers, containers and totes. There are different types of tags with varying capabilities:
1. Read-only tags contain such data as a serialised tracking number, which is pre-written onto these by the tag manufacturer or distributor. These are generally the least expensive tags as no additional information can be included when they move through the supply chain. Any update to the information has to be maintained in the application software that tracks the stock-keeping unit's movement and activity.
3. Full read-write tags allow new data to be written to the tag—even over the original data—when needed. Examples include the time and date of ownership transfer or updating the repair history of a fixed asset. While these are the most costly of the three tag types and impractical for tracking inexpensive items, future standards for electronic product codes (EPCs) appear to be headed in this direction.
Other features of the tag include:
Data capacity. The capacity of data storage on a tag can vary from 16 bits to several thousand bits. Of course, the greater the storage capacity, the higher the price of the tag.
Form factor. The tag and antenna structure can come in a variety of physical form factors and can either be self-contained or embedded as part of a traditional label structure (termed as 'smart label,' it has the tag inside what looks like a regular bar code label).
Passive and active. Passive tags have no battery and broadcast their data only when energised by a reader. It means these must be actively polled to send information. Active tags broadcast data using their battery power. This means their read range is greater than passive tags—around 30 metres or more, versus 5 metres or less for most passive tags.
The extra capability and read range of active tags, however, come at a cost. These are several times more expensive than passive tags. Today, active tags are much more likely to be used for high-value items or fixed assets such as trailers, where the cost is minimal compared to item value and very long read ranges are required. Most traditional supply chain applications, such as the RFID-based tracking and compliance programmes emerging in the consumer goods retail chain, use the less expensive passive tags.
Frequency range. Like all wireless communications, there are a variety of frequencies or spectra through which RFID tags communicate with readers. Again, there are trade-offs among cost, performance and application requirements. For instance, low-frequency tags are cheaper than ultra-high-frequency (UHF) tags, use less power and are better able to penetrate non-metallic substances. These are ideal for scanning objects with high water content, such as fruit, at close ranges.
UHFs typically offer longer range and can transfer data faster. But these use more power and are less likely to be effective with some materials.
Electronic product code (EPC) tags. EPC is an emerging specification for RFID tags, readers and business applications. It represents a specific approach to item identification, including an emerging standard for the tags—with both the data content of the tag and open wireless communication protocols.
RF transceiver. RF transceiver is the source of RF energy used to activate and power the passive RFID tags. It may be enclosed in the same cabinet as the reader or it may be a separate piece of equipment. When provided as a separate piece of equipment, the transceiver is commonly referred to as an RF module. RF transceiver controls and modulates the radio frequencies that the antenna transmits and receives. The transceiver filters and amplifies the backscatter signal from a passive RFID tag.
How this vehicle parking system works
Fig. 4 shows the block diagram of the RFID-based automatic vehicle parking system.
To get started with RFID-based automatic vehicle parking system, the vehicle owner has to first register the vehicle with the parking owner and get the RFID tag. When the car has to be parked, the RFID tag is placed near the RFID reader, which is installed near the entry gate of the parking lot. As soon as the RFID tag is read by the reader, the system automatically deducts the specified amount from the RFID tag and the entry gate boomer opens to allow the car inside the parking area. At the same time, the parking counter increments by one. Similarly, the door is opened at the exit gate and the parking counter decremented.
The system also offers the facility to recharge the amount for each RFID tag. No manual processing is involved. In addition, the system provides security.
Circuit description
Fig. 5 shows the circuit of the RFID-based automatic vehicle parking system. The circuit can be divided into different sections:
Fig. 5: Circuit of the automatic RFID-based automatic vehicle parking system
Power supply. Connector CON1 (refer Fig. 8), diodes D1 through D4, capacitor C1, and voltage regulator ICs 7805 (IC1) and 7812 (IC2) form the power supply section of the automatic vehicle parking system. CON1 is a three-pin connector that provides 15V AC or DC power supply to the circuit. In case of 15V AC, diodes D1 through D4 form a bridge rectifier to rectify the AC supply. Capacitor C1 filters out the ripples from the rectified output. ICs 7805 and 7812 provide regulated +5V and +12V, respectively, to the circuit. +5V is used to operate the microcontroller, LCD, RFID and IR sensor circuit and +12V operates the motor.
AT89S52 microcontroller. AT89S52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 8kB Flash memory. It is compatible with the industry-standard 80C51 instruction set and pin-out. The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer. Other features include 256 bytes of RAM, 32 input/output lines, watchdog timer, two data pointers, three 16-bit timers/counters, a six-vector two-level interrupt architecture, a full-duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator and clock circuitry.
Connectors CON2 through CON4. CON2 and CON3 are two-pin connectors that connect the 12V DC motors to the circuit for controlling the entry and exit gate boomers. CON4 is a ten-pin dual-in-line female connector that connects the RFID reader module to the circuit.
L293D motor driver. H-bridge DC motor driver L293D (IC5) operates the DC motors to open the door or barrier for entry into and exit from the parking lot. Two high-current motor drivers can be used in place of L293D and 12V DC motors to control the entry and exit gates, respectively.
LM358 op-amp. Dual-operational amplifier LM358 (IC4) is used as a voltage comparator to compare the output of the IR sensors with a fixed threshold voltage in order to know whether the IR beam is interrupted or not.
IR transmitter and receiver. Two IR transmitter-receiver pairs are used. The IR LEDs are connected in forward-biased condition to the +5V power supply through 220-ohm resistors. These emit IR light, which is interrupted when an object comes into its way to the IR receiver. The IR receiving photodiodes are connected in reverse-biased condition to +5V power supply through 1-mega-ohm resistors. When the IR light falls on the photodiodes, their resistance changes and so does their output. This output is compared with a fixed voltage to give a digital output to the microcontroller in order to judge the entry and exit of the vehicles.
LCD display. LCD1 is a two-line, 16-character, alpha-numeric liquid crystal display. Data lines D0 through D7 of the LCD are connected to port 2 of AT89S52 (IC3). Reset (RS) and enable (E) control lines are connected to port pins P3.6 and P3.7, respectively. Control lines control data flow from the microcontroller to LCD1.
When a car crosses the IR LED1-D1 pair installed at the entry gate, the gate boomer does not open until an RFID tag is placed near the RFID reader. After the tag is placed near the reader, the gate boomer opens for three seconds and closes automatically. If the initial recharge amount was Rs 900, the LCD display shows 'Vehicle1 Amount' in the first line and 'Deducted 100' in the second line, followed by 'Balance Amount' in the first line and '800' in the second line. It is then followed by display of 'Number of Cars' in the first line and '001' in the second line. If the parking lot is full, the message "Parking is Full, Sorry for Inconvenience" is displayed on LCD1.
When a car leaves the parking area and crosses the IR beam between IR LED2 and D2 at the exit gate, the vehicle count decreases by one. The LCD shows the number of cars in the parking lot along with "Thanks for Visiting" message.
The program (parking.c) for the microcontroller is written in C and compiled using Keil software to generate the hex code. The program coding starts with '#include
The LCD is initialised using the following code:
void lcdinit(void)
Construction and testing
An actual-size, single-side PCB layout for the RFID-based automatic vehicle parking system is shown in Fig. 7 and its component layout in Fig. 8. Burn the hex code into the AT89S52 microcontroller using a suitable programmer and then mount the microcontroller on the PCB. Install IR LED1-D1 pair at the entry gate such that these face each other. Similarly, install IR LED2-D2 pair at the exit gate.
For testing, switch on the circuit, interrupt the infrared beam between IR LED1 and IR D1 with your hand or some other opaque object and then remove it, and place the tag near the reader. The LCD should show the message as described earlier in 'How this vehicle parking system works' section. An amount of Rs 100 should be deducted for every interruption of the IR beam. The card can be recharged by pressing the pushbutton switches (S2 and S3) provided in the circuit. Pressing switch S2 recharges the card with Rs 900 and pressing switch S3 recharges it with Rs 500.
Similarly, interrupt the IR beam at the exit gate. LCD1 should show the number of cars in the parking lot along with 'Thanks for Visit' message. No amount should be deducted at the time of exit.

Freshpet uses fresh meat, poultry and vegetables in a pricey, preservative-free product that requires refrigeration. Sales exceed $100 million. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum)
BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Organic kibble? All-natural chow? Fido and Fluffy don't know it, but their owners want them to eat better — and they are forking over big bucks to make it happen.
Marketed as a healthier, more nutritious alternative, some premium dog and cat cuisine has gone the Whole Foods route.
Nowhere is that more evident than in the new $25 million eastern Pennsylvania factory of upstart pet food maker Freshpet, where thousands of pounds of fresh meat and poultry are pasteurized, mixed with vegetables and then immediately chilled, packaged and sent to branded, refrigerated display cases in more than 10,000 stores across America.
The 7-year-old company, founded by former Purina executives, is trying to establish a new category in an industry long dominated by kibbles and cans: fresh, preservative-free food that requires refrigeration. With sales Login to read more

I switched doctors recently, and although I have only seen Dr. Sword one time, he caught so many things that my old doctor did not in regards to my fertility. The PA in the practice recently conducted an HSG on me and the outcome was not great. He was so kind and helpful--it was a blessing that he was the one performing the procedure on me.

I recently switched to Dr. Sword and I couldn't be happier about my decision. He seemed genuinely concerned about me as patient. He sat and talked with me for quite a while and answered all of my questions about some fertility issues. He seems very knowledgeable and has an excellent bedside manner. The office staff is also wonderful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a new ob-gyn!

I was a patient at Dr. Sword's practice a few years ago prior to moving a few hundred miles away and I have yet to find a doctor with the bedside manner and knowledge that Dr. Sword had. After a string of doctors who were unhelpful, Dr Sword diagnosed my problem. His staff was also above and beyond. When I was having problems with medications, they switched me to a new one, and when they didn't hear back, about a month or so later they made a follow up call! I don't even get an appointment reminder with my most recent gynecologist's office. After another string of bad gynecologists, I'm considering the 5 hour drive to go back to Dr. Sword.

Quote: "Rubin's team looked in more detail at the market, and saw that growth in digital cameras was slowing."
Right because in '04/5 there were huge numbers of larger sensored mirrorless systems available, not.
And finding a DSLR that shot noise free at ISO 3200 was inexpensive and easy, not.
And Sony had picked up the pieces of the camera divisions of Konica & Minolta, not. (Yes, I know Sony sold digicams back then.)
And the shooting good video on a DSLR or mirrorless system (hey the Epson RD-1 counts as mirrorless) was possible, not.
No wonder this team didn't foresee what Apple could do for the smartphone/pda market.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy enough with the wifi Android 4 tablet I used--though Google slows it more than needed.

Menopause Hot Flashes and Panic Attacks – How to Deal with It
Ask any woman, what is the worst part of the entire menopause process? The unanimous answer will be, menopause hot flashes and panic attacks. Probably, no woman ever got over her menopause, with these two most annoying problems that must have made her life a living hell for sure. There are a few symptoms that are directly related to menopause. Women suffer form forgetfulness, moodiness and panic attacks. In fact hot flashes and panic attacks are the very first symptoms of menopause. This symptom is often ignored or misunderstood by women when it happens for the first time.
When it comes to hot flashes the best help is an appointment with the doctor. It is better to be prepared for the situation well in advance. To get caught unaware will add to the panic attack.
There are a couple of ways to deal with these menopausal hot flashes and panic attacks. Most women find it a very frightening experience. The neck and face also have a simultaneous effect. One will feel as if the heat is slowly spreading throughout the body from the chest. The heart beat increases and you make get an instant headache. Some women sweat profusely.
It is very difficult to be prepared for these symptoms. They come with little or no warning. And when it does actually hit you, you don't understand what hit you. At any time of the day or night you may be attacked by it. At times you may get up at night, sweating profusely, no matter how cold the air conditioner is on.
Different women have different frequency of these flashes. Some women may have them infinite number of times whereas the lucky few never have to face the discomfort that comes along with it. The best thing to do is to be at colder places. The covers of the bed should be removed while you sleep. Sometimes just splashing some water on the face relieves you form the flashes and panic attacks.
While these two aspects are extremely tough to deal with, if you consult with your doctor, they should be able to recommend some things so that you'll be able to deal with it, better.

I have been reading with interest the threads on sil-nylon, and how to diy coat sil-nylon. I thought someone might be interested in this new fabric I came across. http://www.aeroix.de/en/products/It is a PU/PA[Al] coated ripstop nylon. I came across it when Skywalk started using it in their paragliders. I thought it might have some use as a tent fabric so I contacted Aeroix and asked them for more information about it. The fabric is washable, whipable, but in their words 'perhaps not entirely waterproof'. When I saw the other threads about hydrostatic testing of sil-nylons and how porous some of them are, I thought that this fabric might be good for tarps and tents after all. I was originally going to have a shelter custom made for me using a sample of the material obtained for free from Aeroix. Aeroix were very enthusiastic about it, but I abandoned the idea when I found out the fabric 'may' not have an adequate hydrostatic head (not an issue for MYOG!). What Aeroix really want, is somone in the tent/tarp industry to share the cost of a trial run of fabric that has 5 coatings (silicone on one side, PU/PA[Al] on the other) instead of 3. The fabric would weigh about 35 gsm, not as light as this fabric (29 gsm!) but still light compared to some. I sure, however, Aeroix would welcome any input on coatings, and are quite open to suggestions from manufacturers who have more experience with technical outdoor fabrics. Ideally they wanted a partner in Europe because of communication issues, but again, I sure they're flexible on that front. If you have time their website is well worth a look; some of the thermal imaging shows just how amazing this fabric is in terms of low thermal emissivity. Even if the effect was of no practical use in tents you would still have a superb heat shade for very hot environments and very high UV resistance. Then of course there are possible applications in quilts and clothing; if the fabric is not entirely waterproof perhaps it is sufficiently breathable for a quilt. I'm sure Aeroix will be happy to provide samples for free (a contribution to postage may be appropriate). I supply Dr Alexander Bormann's email address below so you can contact him directly. I remain convinced that the full potential of this fabric is yet to be realised. email@example.com
this one is stated to be helium proof, so definitely airtight, which i would assume means waterproof? they also say it can be welded, so maybe some potential as a tarp material. Depending upon how breathable the insulative one is, that could be good as a sleeping bag/quilt fabric, or if non-breathable as a vapor barrier. cool stuff
Sorry Will, I posted a link to all Aeroix's products. The Helium proof material is not the nylon fabric I was talking about (although it may have some uses). Please follow this link for the Aerofabrix Al [29].http://www.aeroix.de/en/products/aerofabrix-al/The helium proof material is good, but the beauty about Aerofabrix Al [29], is that it is not an encapsulated aluminium foil but a ripstop nylon coated with aluminium nano-particles. That means much lower emissivity than other aluminium type materials. Sorry but I cannot find English translations for everything. Matt
Edited by Skyaddict on 07/04/2010 11:29:04 MDT.
Matthew, I tried navigating that website and couldn't find the page that described specs like emissivity. If the emissivity is lower than vacuum metalized fabrics or films I'm very impressed. I wouldn't expect that from a process that employed particulate metals. I'm very interested in this fabric. I would buy a few yards from you if you manage to obtain some.
Hi Colin, here is a link to some information on the fabric and it's uses as a tent fabric:http://www.aeroix.de/de/home/news/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=23&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=7&cHash=4db21162d4 I use the translate button on google toolbar, it gives a rough idea of what the article is about. I will email Aeroix on Monday and see if I can get a sample but as you can see, things are starting to move forward since I first spoke to them; it may be much harder to obtain a sample now. Matt
Hi MatthewIf you can get a sample I can test it for water pressure rating on a proper Suter pressure tester. I too am interested.Cheers

Parks Group Praises Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Decision to Deny Application to Build a Casino Near Gettysburg
|December 20, 2006
|Cinda Waldbuesser, NPCA, 215.327.2529
Shannon Andrea, NPCA, 202.454.3371
Parks Group Praises Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Decision to Deny Application to Build a Casino Near Gettysburg
Statement by NPCA Pennsylvania Program Manager Cinda Waldbuesser
"On behalf of the National Parks Conservation Association and its more than 325,000 members, we commend the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board members on their decision to deny the application for a license to build a casino within cannon range of Gettysburg National Military Park. The denial of this application represents the Board's understanding of the significance of our nation's most sacred places-Gettysburg National Military Park.
Clearly, the Gaming Control Board members listened to the public outcry against bringing a casino to Adams County, while at the same time considering how incompatible a casino would be with the remarkable historic significance of Gettysburg. They clearly understand that a casino would be at odds with the family-friendly atmosphere of the town and with the sacred nature of this place of sacrifice and service for our country.
Gettysburg National Military Park already provides a strong economic engine for the region, attracting approximately 1.7 million people each year. According to NPCA's new economic assessment, U.S. National Park System: An Economic Asset at Risk, visitors to the park generate more than $95 million annually in local revenue while supporting nearly 3,000 jobs locally.
We praise the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for recognizing the importance of protecting the character of this unique town and the memory of all those who fought during the battle at Gettysburg."

A sports bio movie that I really enjoyed about a sport and sports hero I barely knew existed: the World Hour Record competition for bicyclists and its gutsy, tormented and most unusual champion, Graeme Obree.
Obree's psychology is fascinating and, even though the competitive scenes mostly involve him racing against himself in a spectator-free indoor track, the movie manages to give its audience a suitable adrenaline rush here and there.
How many bicycling movies are there, let alone ones that know from frame geometry? "Breaking Away" is probably the champ, followed by "American Flyers," the hilariously awful Kevin Bacon bike-messenger movie "Quicksilver," and then we're already into "The Bicycle Thief " and "Pee-wee's Big Adventure." It's a small pack, and The Flying Scotsman rides close to the front by default.
Miller is key to the film's success, with his earnest, sweet-faced looks and evident dark side. He plays Obree with just the right understated intensity, a believable competitor who fights back fiercely with his wits and a few tight-lipped words.
A typically engaging performance from Johnny Lee Miller takes this slightly above the usual underdog movie cliche.
Helmer Douglas Mackinnon does what he can to make the most of emotional bullet points and gloss over the lack of connective tissue.
There's real triumph to Obree's story, and real adversity, too, but the film contents itself with the pretend versions of both.
Brian Cox does sturdy work as the minister who helps Obree combat depression, and first-time director Douglas Mackinnon gets a big assist from Obree himself, who doubled for Miller in some shots and filmed others with a camera strapped to his handlebars.
It's a shame it's not a better movie, but its small virtues include an uncompromising performance by English actor Jonny Lee Miller.
While the world of competitive cycling can be extremely exciting, not every one of its events is captivating. A well-intentioned biopic about Scottish cycling maverick Graeme Obree, The Flying Scotsman is hampered by the fact that its hero earned his greatest renown for riding around and around on a velodrome … alone … for an hour.
The filmmaking is unremarkable, but the obsessiveness of the lead character is infectious enough to make this drama passable entertainment.
Graeme Obree was a champion bicycler who, by all accounts, rarely took the easy way out. Too bad this movie version of his life doesn't follow suit.
Scotsman not only lacks vision, a true sense of how to mesh Obree's sporting triumphs and personal setbacks, but it also lacks passion. What it needs, as strange and tacky as it may sound, is a bit more madness.
For a much better film about a similar story, rent "The World's Fastest Indian," with Anthony Hopkins on a motorcycle.
It has a terminal case of the cutes crossed with the labored earnestness of a disease-of-the-week melodrama.

USICH BlogUSICH Blog | Media Center | United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) sfsd
03/04/2015 - Early Childhood and HUD Working Together to End Family Homelessness
This blog was originally published on the Administration for Children & Families website.
By Marsha Basloe, Senior Advisor for Early Childhood Development
When my son was little, he had a favorite stuffed animal called "elephant." Elephant went everywhere Benjy went! One of my favorite memories is standing in his bedroom doorway and watching him sleep in his "new big bed" with his arm wrapped around elephant under the covers. This memory was important to me last week as I attended the National Alliance to End Homelessness Family and Youth Conference to present on the Administration for Children and Families' early childhood efforts to support young children experiencing homelessness.
There were multiple workshops sharing the amazing efforts of programs and communities across the country. Secretary Julian Castro spoke to a large audience about the Department of Housing and Urban Development's work and HUD's linking with partners including the Veterans Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services. He said that people need more than just housing; families don't live in silos and it's why the collaboration and coordination between HUD, VA and HHS is so important – from the federal level to the local level.
02/27/2015 - Data Drives Results: Take Down Targets Help Communities Zero in on Ending Homelessness
By Matthew Doherty and Beth Sandor
In our shared mission to end homelessness, we know that data drives results. It drives the strategies and implementation of Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, a framework for action for partners at every level of government and the private and nonprofit sectors. It drives tools and practices of the Zero: 2016 effort to help 71 communities do whatever it takes to end Veteran homelessness this year and chronic homelessness by the end of 2016. And it drives the day-to-day efforts of people across the country working tirelessly to assist each and every person experiencing homelessness in their communities to achieve their goals of permanent housing. Data is at the very core of creating a housing system built for zero and achieving an end to homelessness.
Today, Zero: 2016 communities are confirming and committing to one of the most integral pieces of data in their efforts to end homelessness - their Veteran and chronic homelessness Take Down Targets. These Take Down Targets represent the total number of Veterans experiencing homelessness who will need to be connected to permanent housing in order to end Veteran homelessness by the end of this year, and the total number of individuals experiencing chronic homelessness who need to be connected to permanent housing in order to end chronic homelessness in these communities by the end of 2016.
02/26/2015 - Preventing and Ending LGBTQ Youth Homelessness: HUD Issues Historic Guidance and Launches First of Its Kind Effort with True Colors Fund
By Diane Kean and Mary Owens
In each of our cities and towns, every night, there are young people who face the unimaginable risk of exploitation, of abuse, of countless traumas that threaten not only their immediate health and well-being but that can inflict long-term damage. And the up-to 40 percent of youth who experience homelessness who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) are at an even greater risk for depression, physical abuse, suicide, and substance use. Tragically, these atrocities aren't confined to the streets; the majority of youth who identify as LGBTQ report harassment, physical abuse, or sexual assault when trying to access homeless shelters and services. In a recent study, the Urban Institute found that many LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness engage in 'survival sex' in order to have a roof over their heads or obtain food to eat, rather than risk potential violence or abuse they might face in a shelter. We must do better for our young people.
02/25/2015 - Positive Outcomes for Victims of Domestic Violence and Families through Housing First Pilot Program
By Kiley Gosselin
The link between domestic violence and homelessness is well-documented. Regardless of whether survivors seek help through homelessness services, housing assistance, or domestic violence programs, research shows a strong correlation between domestic violence and homelessness. A Department of Justice study found that at least one in four women were homeless as a result of domestic violence and a Massachusetts study found that a staggering 92% of homeless women experienced severe physical or sexual assault at some point in their lives. Often, it is not only the victim, but the children of domestic violence victims that suffer as a result of abuse. Domestic violence is a leading cause of family homelessness in the United States.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has made ending family homelessness in Washington a focus of their state efforts starting with the launch of the Sound Families Initiative in 2000. The Foundation has helped fund thousands of new housing units for families experiencing homelessness and is investing in approaches that are aligned with the strategies identified by USICH's Family Connection resource, including coordinated entry and rapid housing.
In 2009, with the financial backing of the Gates Foundation, the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) launched a five year pilot program testing the success of a survivor-centered, Housing First approach to preventing homelessness for survivors of domestic violence and their families. The pilot worked with 13 existing programs in 13 urban, rural and tribal areas across the state and the findings demonstrate positive outcomes across all sites.

The National Conference on Ending Family and Youth Homelessness is underway. We've captured some of the conversations, key moments, and insights. Here are some of the highlights!
02/17/2015 - #NAEH15 Begins Tomorrow
By Diane Kean
Tomorrow, the National Alliance to End Homelessness kicks off the National Conference on Ending Family and Youth Homelessness in San Diego, California. The conference provides a forum of learning and sharing for hundreds of policymakers, practitioners, and federal, local and private partners, all working to end family and youth homelessness. Workshops will focus around three learning tracks on Rapid Re-Housing, Youth, and Systems, and cover topics including family intervention, crisis response systems and coordinated entry process. Keynote speakers include Nan Roman, President and CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, Toni Atkins, Speaker of the Assembly, California State Assembly, and Secretary Julián Castro, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
USICH is looking forward to attending and participating in the conference. Below is a list of the workshops where USICH staff will be presenting or moderating sessions during the conference.
02/17/2015 - Youth Homelessness and the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act
By Jasmine Hayes
In September 2014, William H. Bentley, Associate Commissioner of the Family & Youth Services Bureau and former USICH Executive Director Laura Zeilinger, highlighted the impact of Runaway and Homeless Youth Act-funded programs for youth experiencing homelessness. These services – street outreach, basic center and transitional living (including maternity group homes) programs – are critical to meet the immediate needs of some of our most vulnerable young people.
We know there are different ways that information is captured across Federal programs about the extent and scope of youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness. We also know that youth can experience homelessness in many ways including being unsheltered or living on the street, doubled-up or couch surfing, and this is impacted by complicated issues including poverty, abuse, violence, trauma, and discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. As communities increase their capacity to capture information on youth, our understanding of the prevalence and characteristics of youth homelessness is improving and helping to shape strategies that respond to the diverse needs of young people.
02/13/2015 - Veteran Homelessness in Virginia: The Ending of a Story Just Beginning
By Jill Fox, Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness & Matt Leslie, Department of Veterans Services
Most great stories have a beginning, middle, and end. When it comes to the story of Virginia's efforts to end Veteran homelessness, we started with the end in mind – a vision of a Virginia where Veteran homelessness, when it does occur, is rare, brief, and non-recurring.
The Beginning – Defining the Challenge, Getting Organized!
In the summer of 2013, the Virginia Department of Veteran Services and Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness partnered with the VA VISN Network Coordinator, Jeff Doyle, and local leaders in communities to hold a statewide Veteran homeless summit. This event marked the beginning of increased collaborations among federal, state and community partners. We believed that ending Veteran homelessness in Virginia was not an impossible task.
The goal of our effort was supported by the Governor's Coordinating Council on Homelessness, which includes representatives across state agencies that play a role in addressing homelessness as well as local providers, nonprofits, and other community leaders. Our focus was to unify mainstream and Veteran specific housing and services while continuing to shift to housing first statewide. The success of this endeavor relied on leveraging existing partnerships with the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Housing And Urban Development (HUD) that the Virginia Department of Veteran Services (DVS) had nurtured. Along with federal agencies, DVS built on partnerships with VA Medical Centers (VAMCs), SSVF providers, and the VASH programs. Also paramount were the relationships that the Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness (VCEH) has with local Continuums of Care (CoCs), including nonprofit housing and homeless providers, local jurisdictions, and other mainstream providers involved with local homelessness planning.
02/10/2015 - At White House, Mayors Strategize on Efforts to End Veteran Homelessness
By Mary Owens
On January 23, the White House hosted over 240 mayors during the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) Winter Meeting. During the event, mayors took part in a breakout session with Administration officials including Veteran Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald, Assistant to the President & Deputy Chief of Staff for Implementation Kristie Canegallo, Special Assistant to the President Luke Tate, and USICH Interim Executive Director Matthew Doherty, to discuss ensuring access to quality, affordable health care for all Americans and ending Veteran homelessness. The breakout session also provided an opportunity for New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu to discuss best practices on how mayors can accomplish the goal of ending Veteran homelessness. Through the Mayor's Challenge to End Veterans Homelessness, local leaders across the country are ending Veteran homelessness in their communities. Mayor Landrieu was one of the first Mayors to sign on to the Mayors Challenge and on January 7, 2015, New Orleans became the first major U.S. city to achieve the goal.
02/09/2015 - Optimizing Community Efforts to End Veteran Homelessness
By Peter Nicewicz
We often say at USICH that to end homelessness nationally, we must end homelessness locally. To help communities optimize their current resources to accelerate progress towards ending Veteran homelessness, we have identified ten essential strategies for communities to increase leadership, collaboration and coordination among programs serving Veterans experiencing homelessness, and promote rapid access to permanent housing for all Veterans. Each strategy is accompanied by resources to help community leaders and stakeholders understand how to implement these strategies more effectively.
Meanwhile, we have been working on the Federal level to assist communities as they work to reduce the number of Veterans experiencing homelessness and build the systems to prevent its recurrence. Below is a highlight of some of the Federal efforts aimed at helping communities develop and optimize their systems of connecting Veterans experiencing homelessness to permanent housing and the appropriate services and resources Veterans need to have a safe and stable place to call home.

"You Can Sleep While I Drive"
written by Melissa Ethridge, copyright 1989 Almo Music Corp.
sung by Trisha Yearwood on her "Thinkin' About You" CD
transcribed and submitted by Bruce Winges
(original is in Dm; play slowly, deliberately)
Em D
Come on baby, let's get out of this town
Em D
I got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down
A Bm G
There's a chill in my bones, I don't want to be left alone
Em G D
So baby, you can sleep while drive.
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved, enough to get underway
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.
We'll go through Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you boots down in Texas, a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams.
You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something that's not in your life
A Bm G
My intentions are true, won't you take me with you
Em G D
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.
Bm A D
Oh, oh, oh is it other arms you want to
Bm A D
h--o--ld you, the stranger,
the lover, you're free
Bm G (pause)
Can't you get that with me?
Come on baby, let's get out of this town
I've got a full tank of gas, with the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you, I'll go before night is through
And baby, you can sleep while I drive.
-Bruce Winges (email@example.com)

Author's note: This essay begins a second series of essays and reflections about politics and the moral life. Each essay develops a theme from a work by the philosopher Plato, entitled "Laws," which he wrote shortly before his death in 347 B.C. "Laws" is written as a dialogue involving three old men with long experience in politics: Cleinias, from the Cretan city of Cnossos; Megillus, from Sparta; and an Athenian stranger who is not named, but who may be Plato himself.
STATE BUDGET: I am very concerned about the state budget shortfall! However, I do not believe that raising taxes is a solution! My first solution to this problem would be to call for a complete outside review of all state expenditures. The last time we did this was in 1977, and it saved our state millions of dollars.
STATE BUDGET: We have a situation in which the budget shortfall is driving policy, when it should be the other way around. This is a defining moment for the Legislature as we weigh "bad" against "worse."
STATE BUDGET: Shift taxes from earned income in business and wages to unearned profits on land speculation and natural resource extraction. There is $1.2 billion per year in tax revenue on resources alone, but corporations pocket this revenue. The Legislature acts in the interests of corporate lobbyists and land speculators, driving business and wage-earners away from Vermont. See the Prosper Vermont citizen legislative initiative at ProsperVermont.com.
STATE BUDGET: The state budget shortfall is currently projected to be around $120 million, but the shortfall will likely be larger than that; the proposed savings from the Challenges for Change, if successful, will not begin immediately but will phase in over time.

2 Responses to ""The largest generation in history that's focused around compassion.""
It has been clear to me for a very long time that my parent's generation, the Great Depression and WWII, were and are loving, compassionate, and more so than this socalled "mindful generation". Naturally compassionate. Our generation…talks about compassion
….and this "mindful generation" shamelessly makes compassion into a business…a commodity.
