{ a perfect fall day on the farm }
My father, whom Aidan and Olivia fondly refer to as Papa, owns a horse and boards it at a farm that's about 15 minutes from our house. We don't get out there enough as we should, but last Thursday was a gorgeous warm, sunny day here, so I took the kids out for the day.
They had a great time riding Alex, and he's so gentle with them. We started in the arena.
Alex checked Aidan out before letting him hop on.
And then they were off.
Olivia was up next!
In the meantime, Aidan found an old chariot-type thing {I obviously am not well versed in neither farm nor horse lingo} and climbed up.
It was such a beautiful day that we decided to lead Alex outside to the outdoor area for a bit. Olivia rode him from the indoor arena out into the sunshine.
Of course, Aidan couldn't go without a chance to ride Alex in the sunshine too, so he took another turn.
And Olivia was happy to sit on the ground...
and pick grass, which she was convinced was hay.
See how much these kids love Alex? It's so sweet to see them together, and he's really so gentle with them. I think he's actually pretty fond of the kids too.
Olivia and I took a stroll over to the goats and fed one a carrot. He gobbled that thing up in no time!
And then she tried feeding him the "hay" that she had picked earlier. The goat wasn't near as keen on eating that.
Which, I think confused her a little bit.
As it did the goat too. I guess grass isn't nearly as yummy as carrots are.
From there it was onto the barn where Alex's stable is. Olivia was very interested in these two horses.
Who in turn, were just as interested in her.
Then it was time for Alex's treat. Carrots!
And a day on the farm wouldn't be complete without farm chores. Aidan and Olivia helped put down fresh straw on the floor of Alex's stall.
And they raked it smooth together...
...while another horse came over to see what was going on.
Eddie, the farmer, recently purchased this antique tractor. It's from the 1940s and runs. It's a beautiful machine.
We took a stroll over to the new hen house, which was guarded by a pretty noisy little rooster.
We get our eggs from these chickens!
Then it was over to another barn on the farm to see a few more horses.
The future farm boy himself!
Aidan has been telling us for quite some time that he wants to be a farmer when he grows up, and now Olivia is saying that too, so it will be interesting to see how long this continues. But I have to tell you, if I had my way, I think it would be great to live on a mini farm like that. Maybe I'm just a farm girl at heart after all, too.

Nick Clegg has condemned the "preposterous" idea that either of the main parties could govern alone if they fail to win an outright majority in the general election.
The Deputy Prime Minister said calls for the Tories and Labour to rule out a coalition with the Liberal Democrats next year were the "last gasp" of "tribal" elements.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey has urged Ed Miliband to say he would lead a minority administration even if the party falls short of complete victory in next year's general election.
The comments came amid speculation that David Cameron could try to galvanise the Conservative rank and file by making the same promise in the run-up to the poll.
Speaking at his regular press conference, Mr Clegg said: "Clearly there is a sort of McCluskey tendency in both the Labour and Conservative parties.
" I think what you are seeing, in a sense, is the last gasp of the assumption from the two bigger parties that somehow they have got a right to run things.
"They are now so desperate they are now somehow claiming that they will have the right to decide how this country is governed even if they don't win a majority, which is a clearly preposterous assertion.
"We should let the British people have their say, rather than people constantly assuming that they can decide rather than the British people about how this country is governed."
The Lib Dem leader said those elements were "taking the British people for granted", adding: "I think what you are seeing is some very tribal voices who are so tribal that they want to even go so far as deprive the British people of stable government.
"Because minority government is deeply unstable, because you are basically governing without the authority to do so...
"I think a Labour-only government would jeopardise the economic recovery and a Conservative government certainly would not govern with the emphasis on fairness that has been the hallmark of much of what the Lib Dems have brought in the coalition."
Mr Clegg said the Prime Minister had not indicated to him that he was planning on ruling out an alliance with the Lib Dems after the general election.
He also denied that the coalition was running out of steam and descending into infighting with more than a year to go until the poll.
The public understand that people do not always have to agree on everything or get on personally to work together effectively, he said.
In an interview with the BBC's Newsnight programme, Mr McCluskey said: "Labour, I hope, win the next election outright, but if they are the biggest party, then my view is Ed should have the courage of his convictions and govern on a minority government...
"My view is that Ed shouldn't be sucked into a Lib/Lab pact. He should have the courage of his convictions - if we are the largest party, he should govern.
"And he should challenge those coalition parties to bring him down if necessary and go back to the people so that there's a stark alternative."
Labour and Mr Clegg have been seen as positioning for a potential alliance next year.
Ed Balls and Mr Clegg have buried the hatchet after a long-running feud, and the Deputy Prime Minister recently praised the way the Opposition had "changed" under Mr Miliband.
A decision by either main party to rule out a coalition would aim to put the choice for voters into stark relief.
But it would also cause a major strategic headache for the Lib Dems, who are highlighting their ability to temper the excesses of the others as a main selling point.

Orange-Osceola State Attorney Aramis Ayala said Monday she is pushing back against Gov. Rick Scott's decision last week to remove her from the case of accused cop killer Markeith Loyd.
Ayala's announcement that she could not/would not impose the death penalty in the Loyd or any other first-degree murder case raised the governor's hackles. He immediately appointed special prosecutor Brad King to take over.
During a Monday hearing for Loyd, Ayala showed up and took a seat as close to King as she could get. She said she still wants to be part of the prosecution.
The Orlando Sentinel reported, "When the hearing began, the judge asked attorneys to give their names and identify who they represent -- a common practice -- and Ayala was the first to jump up and speak. 'I need to be clear: I think the governor overstepped his bounds,' she said.
"Although, she is not yet sure what she'll do, she said, she will not interfere with King," said the Sentinel.
Ayala complained to Chief Judge Frederick Lauten that what the governor did was unprecedented. She said she may file a legal challenge and asked the judge to temporarily halt the two murder cases against Lloyd while she figures out what to do.
In a statement last Thursday, Scott said, "Earlier today, I called on State Attorney Ayala to immediately recuse herself from this case. She informed me this afternoon that she refuses to do that. She has made it clear that she will not fight for justice, and that is why I am using my executive authority to immediately reassign the case."
Scott cited a state law allowing him to appoint a different prosecutor if he finds a "good and sufficient reason" to do so.
Ayala, Florida's first African-American state attorney, took office Jan. 3. Though she received a campaign donation from notorious anti-death penalty billionaire George Soros, the Sentinel reported she waffled on the death penalty during her five-month campaign and never did state her position.
Loyd is charged with murdering Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton on Jan. 9 and, several weeks earlier, his pregnant former girlfriend, Sade Dixon.
The problem ahead for the Governor's Office is knowing Orange-Osceola has a minimum of 12 cases pending in which the death penalty is an option. The Loyd case is just the beginning for Ayala.
On the other hand, more than 100 lawyers, two former Florida Supreme Court justices included and three dozen current and former judges and prosecutors have gone to bat for Ayala, saying Scott has gone too far. They signed a letter asking the governor to rescind his decision and give the case back to the elected prosecutor.
Lauten has scheduled a hearing for March 28 at 9 a.m. to consider whether Ayala has the authority to ask for a delay or participate in the case.

Illinois Wind for Schools Program: Wind Powering America Lessons Learned
July 23, 2012
The U.S. Energy Department's Wind for Schools project works to promote wind industry workforce development by focusing on K-12 and university educators and students to counter the trend of reduced numbers of U.S. students entering science and engineering fields. The Wind for Schools project also raises awareness in rural America about the benefits of wind energy through implementing and supporting wind energy curricula and by augmenting these curricula with on-site wind energy projects. The Energy Department launched the project by providing initial funding for 11 states, with the understanding that the Wind Application Centers would find alternative funding sources after a specified time period. The project also developed an affiliate program to allow states or schools that do not receive direct funding to become involved, the model that Illinois enacted.
Illinois was not funded by the Energy Department; the state launched its own Wind for Schools program encompassing "classroom curriculum and instruction, design and experimentation (lab) activities, real-world data collection using professional-quality weather instrumentation located on the school premises, data manipulation, energy forecasting, and scientific analysis." The three pilot schools are Ridgeview Community Unit School District (CUSD) #19, Colfax, McLean County; Elmwood CUSD #322, Elmwood, Peoria County; and CUSD #3, Fulton County, Cuba. A unique aspect of the Illinois program is that it is co-administrated by two universities, Illinois State University in Normal and Western Illinois University in Macomb. Wind Powering America interviewed Matt Aldeman at the Center for Renewable Energy at Illinois State University and Jolene Willis at the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs at Western Illinois University to learn more about these school wind projects.
According to our Wind for Schools teams, funding is the most critical issue they face. How did you fund your program, and what have you learned about funding?
The Illinois Wind for Schools program was funded solely through the Illinois Energy Office of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. As the program matures, we are pursuing additional funding sources. We feel optimistic about the chances of financial support from wind developers within the state (the Production Tax Credit extension would help greatly) and related wind supply chain and professional consulting companies. We believe that we have a good chance of finding funding for schools through corporate partnerships and sponsorships. We have pursued a few other funding sources from various agencies and organizations, but to no avail.
Because funding situations and organizations vary from state to state, I don't think there is any magic formula for funding. I believe it all depends on what is available at a local and state level.
What lessons have you learned so far from working with your pilot schools?
It may sound obvious, but one thing that has become very apparent is that teachers are busy, and integrating new material into the classroom is difficult! We believe the best way of overcoming this obstacle is by selecting highly motivated teachers who already have a sincere interest in energy curriculum and renewable energy. In the recent round of applications, we received applications from 26 schools and selected six. In their applications, teachers and administrators from these six schools showed that they are very motivated to incorporate wind energy into their curriculum and provide outreach to their community. Many have already attended workshops related to energy and renewable energy instruction, which further demonstrates their commitment.
We arranged for guest speakers from industry to present at each school, and that aspect of the program received positive reviews this past year. We will likely try to arrange for at least one guest speaker to speak at each school every year.
The 2012-2013 school year marks the end of the pilot portion of the Illinois Wind for Schools program. What have you learned so far about school selection?
We developed connections with the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois Science Teachers' Association, and various state school administrator associations, and we have utilized their listservs to promote our application period to a wide audience of teachers and administrators around the state. We also utilized our combined universities' media distribution systems with press releases and presented at several statewide wind and education events, including teacher workshops. I think that getting the word out to such a large number of teachers helped ensure that we received a large number of high-quality applications.
We also recently completed our first statewide teacher workshop, with 34 teachers from across the state attending the day-long training. Teachers who attended received Continuing Professional Development Units from Illinois State University, where the workshop was held, and were able to interact with the Illinois Wind for Schools team members throughout the day.
Please describe the teacher workshops. Why do you host a workshop at each individual school as opposed to one large workshop? What lessons have you learned?
We think it's important to have a successful workshop at each one of the schools to set the stage and build excitement for the coming year. We did consider having one unified workshop where all of the teachers come together, and that option is still on the table for future years. For the time being, we proceeded with the workshops at individual schools because we wanted to give the participants individualized attention, we wanted them to feel free to ask questions, we wanted to have the ability to adjust the workshop to specific teacher questions or concerns, and possibly most important, we knew that the logistics would be extremely challenging, to find a date on which all participants would be willing and able to travel to a centralized workshop location. It has actually been quite challenging just to schedule the individual workshops at each school.
The typical agenda for a workshop includes sessions on topics such as an overview on energy and wind energy, how a wind turbine works, energy and wind energy lesson plans, and how to implement energy and wind energy curricula. We may alter this agenda in the future to include hands-on activities with the KidWind Project turbines. We found that if we want teachers to include lessons with KidWind turbines in their classroom (and we do), then it is helpful to give them hands-on experience during the workshop.
Is there anything else regarding your program that you would like to share?
We created a dedicated website to serve as the main program portal. We are working to incorporate additional news, resources, and links to provide timely updates on energy literacy and wind energy information for teachers and the general public to access.
Although the Illinois Wind for Schools program does not receive federal funding for wind turbine installations, we are providing technical assistance to school administrators who are interested in pursuing a wind turbine for their campus. Two of the three pilot schools have moved forward with site assessments and are pursuing grant funding for wind installations at their schools.

text: In Mark 12: 13 and Matt. 22: 16 some Herodians join with Pharisees in putting to Jesus a difficult question about the payment of tribute money. The Herodians are presumably supporters of Herod Antipas but their common front with the Pharisees is surprising in that Herod the Great regarded Pharisees as his principal opponents and there is no reason to suppose that his son was any less hostile.

Barsanuphius of Optina
Our venerable father Barsanuphius (Plikhanov) of Optina was a schemamonk among the group of monastics of Optina Monastery in the nineteenth century who were known as the Optina Elders. The Elder Barsanuphius is venerated on April 1 and with all the Optina Elders on October 11.
Paul Ivanovitch Plikhanov was born in the city of Samara on July 5,1845, the son of John and Natalia Plikhanov. His mother died in childbirth, and his father soon remarried so that his son would have a mother. Although his stepmother was very strict, she was a real mother to him, and he loved her very much.
Descended from the Orenburg Cossacks, Paul enrolled in the Polotsk Cadet Corps to pursue his education and a military career. After completing his studies at the Orenburg Military School, he received a commission as an officer. Later, he graduated from the Petersburg Cossack Staff Officers' School and then served at the headquarters of the Kazan military district. He eventually rose to the rank of colonel.
In 1881, Paul contracted pulmonary pneumonia. At his request his orderly read the Gospel to him. As the orderly read, Paul passed out and saw a vision. It was a miraculous vision in which the heavens seemed to open and, as he became afraid because of the great light, his whole sinful life passed before him, and he was overcome with repentance. While the doctors did not think he would recover, his health did improve. As he recovered, Paul learned about the Optina Hermitage that he now wanted to visit. In August 1889, Paul visited the Elder of the Monastery, Fr. Ambrose, who told him to set his worldly affairs in order. Two years later, Fr. Ambrose blessed him to cut all ties to the world and told him to enter Optina within three months.
Resigning his commission within the specified three month period proved not to be easy. Obstacles were placed in his way including a request to delay his retirement and an offer for promotion to the rank of general. Only his stepmother was happy that he wished to become a monk. He was finally able to close his affairs and move to Optina, to find that Fr. Ambrose had died.
Fr. Anatolius I had succeeded Fr. Ambrose as Elder, and he assigned Paul to Hieromonk Nectarius, as his cell attendant. He was accepted as a novice on February 10, 1892 as a member of the brotherhood of the St. John the Baptist Skete. On March 26, 1893, he was tonsured a rassophore. During the next ten years Paul advanced through the stages of monastic life, including ordination as hierodeacon, on December 29, 1902, and hieromonk, on January 1, 1903. In December 1900, the monk Paul was secretly tonsured into the mantiya because of a serious illness. When he was asked what name he wished to receive, he said it did not matter. So, he was named Barsanuphius in honor of St. Barsanuphius of Tver and Kazan. Although he recovered, they did not give him the mantiya until December 1902 after a Liturgy when it was revealed that he had been tonsured on his sickbed.
On September 1, 1903, Fr. Barsanuphius was appointed to assist Elder Joseph, the skete Superior, in the spiritual direction of the skete brethren as well as the sisters of the Shamordino convent.
When the Russo-Japanese war began in 1904, Fr. Barsanuphius was sent to the Far East as a military chaplain to minister to wounded soldiers at the St. Seraphim of Sarov Military Hospital. When the war ended in August 1905, Fr. Barsanuphius returned to Optina on November 1, 1905.
By 1908, Fr. Barsanuphius felt ill more often and began to speak of his approaching death. In April 1908, he received from someone a package containing the Great Schema. Fr. Barsanuphius had long desired to be tonsured into the Great Schema before his death, but he had told no one other than the archimandrite. Therefore, he regarded this as a sign that he would soon die. On July 10, 1910, he became so ill that he left church during Vigil to return to his cell. The next morning he could not sit up by himself. That evening he was tonsured into the Great Schema.
As he recovered, problems arose from new monks who had come from spiritually lax environments. Not understanding the ascetical nature of monasticism or the whole idea of eldership, they began to demand reform and change. They also wanted to assume positions of authority and to close the skete. In the face of these issues Fr. Barsanuphius was assigned as igumen of the Golutvinsky Monastery in 1912. There he found the monastery in a state of physical and spiritual decline. Nevertheless, he did not lose heart. Soon the monastery began to revive and more people began to visit once they heard that an Optina Elder had come to Goluvinsky. The financial position of the monastery also improved. However, again rebellious brethren caused him great sorrow, and he had to expel some of them.
Early in 1913, Fr. Barsanuphius became ill again and asked Metr. Macarius of Moscow for permission to retire to Optina. But, that was not to be. He fell asleep in the Lord on April 1. His body remained in the church of Golotvino until April 6 (which was also Lazarus Saturday). After the funeral, his body was placed on a train and sent to Optina for burial. The train arrived at Kozelsk Station on April 8, and the coffin was carried to Optina by clergy for burial.
Elder Barsanuphius of Optina was glorified with all the Elders of Optina by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in 1990. The feast day for St. Barsanuphius of Optina is April 1.
The local veneration of the Elders of Optina was authorized by the Patriarchate of Moscow on June 13, 1996. Glorification of the Elders of Optina for universal veneration occurred on August 7, 2000.

First and fifth ingredients are named meat products
Inadequate meat content, low quality ingredients, controversial filler
The first ingredient is named meat product. It is chicken, inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, and the dehydrated ingredient would probably be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list. There is a further meat meal ingredient 5th on the ingredient list. As this is, in fact, the primary meat ingredient in the food, it is too far down to make any substantial contribution to the overall meat content of the food. We note it is a fish ingredient, but we find no sign on the manufacturer website of a guarantee that they use only ethoxyquin-free protein sources in the product (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients, but which is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic). Hydrolised chicken protein is added to increase the protein content of the food, but this is not a high quality ingredient and does not substitute for actual meat content.
The first grain in this food, and its main ingredient, is wheat. Wheat is not a good quality grain in dog food, being though by many to be the number one cause of food allergy problems in dogs. We prefer not to see it used at all, particularly as the first ingredient. Further grains are rice, which is a decent quality grain, and cornflour which is filler.
Animal fat is a further low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Animal fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine species, source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this asobtained from the tissues of mammals and/or poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative". We note this is the 3rd ingredient and that research at Purdue university has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We appreciate the use of whole eggs in the food, but this small glimmer of a positive statement is dwarfed by the preceeding criticisms.

BAKER � At Baker School there are three sure signs fall has arrived. Days get shorter. Birds migrate south for the winter. And the Gator volleyball heads south to Kissimmee for the Florida High School Athletic Association volleyball finals.
BAKER � At Baker School there are three sure signs fall has arrived.
Days get shorter. Birds migrate south for the winter. And the Gator volleyball heads south to Kissimmee for the Florida High School Athletic Association volleyball finals.
The Gators punched their ticket to their third straight Class 1A state finals Saturday with a 3-0 win over South Walton in the Region 1 finals by scores of 25-20, 25-19, and 25-18.
Baker plays Hilliard at 2 p.m. Friday in the state semifinals.
Gator Coach James Kerrell said the veteran Gator team entered the match expecting to win.
�I was really proud of the way they played,� he said. Coming into the gym they were just ready to go. They stepped up and they earned it.
�They played really well. We�ve been peaking. I think we are peaking at the right time this year.�
The match featured the power hitting of South Walton (16-8) against a defense-minded Gator squad.
The contrasting styles made for interesting play against two teams that while different in style, were evenly matched.
Neither team was able to pull away for an easy win, but the Gators (22-3) were able to create just enough breathing room in each set to keep the Seahawks at bay. Baker�s biggest lead at any point the match was
�We were really excited,� Baker senior Hana Wadsworth said. �We were a little nervous, but we were excited. We knew we had to come out here and play hard and do our best.
�We were ready to go back to state for the third time. We are hoping to go down and take it all the way this year.�
If the Gators were nervous it didn�t show as they took a quick 3-1 lead in the first set.
Strong play by Baker coupled with Seahawk mistakes allowed the Gators to stay in front the rest of the set.
A kill by Hartley Moate put the Gators within two points of winning the first set with Baker in front 23-18. South Walton was in no position to trade points but that�s what happened as the Gators closed out the set.
Aggressive play by South Walton hitters Sarah McManus and Belle Waldrop allowed the Seahawks to stick around in the second set, which was tied at 12-12 before the Gators got untracked outscoring South Walton 13-7 down the stretch.
Wadsworth came up big in the run with a block and a kill. Jordan Linzy�s drop shot finished off the second set win for Baker.
Facing elimination in the third set South Walton was up 8-5 after Waldrop kill, but the Gators weren�t about to be rattled on their home floor as they proceeded to take control of the set behind a pair of Miranda Whatmough kills.
South Walton coach Andrew Hock credited the experience of the Gators as well as the home crowd with tipping things in Baker�s advantage.
�The atmosphere was tough,� he said. �I know Baker plays better than usual when they are at home. I was very confident in my girls.
�I think Baker�s experience in this kind of match was a difference. They�ve been here and know what you have to do to win.�
Whatmough topped the Gators with five kills to go along with a team best 11 digs. Alex Roy and Linzy each had nine digs. Taylor Brunson had eight digs.
Lena Daoud had eight assists for the Gators. Moate and Wadsworth had four kills each.
Waldrop lead the Seahawks with seven kills. Katie Logan had 21 digs.

'Why, yes, I am (smoking pot), officer'
Officer covered in plume of marijuana smoke after pulling motorist over
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WSHM) – A police officer saw a driver blow through a stop sign and initiated a traffic stop Tuesday night, but when the man rolled down his window the officer was covered in a plume of marijuana smoke, according to Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney.
The driver, identified as 30-year-old Ricky Allende, was smoking marijuana and continued to smoke it while he was pulled over near the corner of Leyfred and Woodside terraces, Delaney said.
"Are you smoking marijuana while operating this motor vehicle," asked Officer J. B. Stern, according to a news release.
"Why, yes, I am officer," Allende responded as he sat in his white Mitsubishi.
That's when Allende was arrested.
Stern charged the Springfield resident with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of marijuana. He was also issued citations for possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, failure to wear seat belt and failure to stop at a stop sign, according to an arrest report.
"High and stupid is no way to go through life," Delaney said.
Allende was to be arraigned in Springfield District Court on Wednesday.

What's better than making pumpkin pie with your family? No, not getting a store-bought pie and eating it in front of the television. Making BPA-free pumpkin pie! Since the hormone-disrupting chemical known as BPA is found in nearly all canned food in the US, skip the canned ingredients this holiday season and use these eco-friendly alternatives. For Thanksgiving, we made this recipe from Diamond Organics, substituting fresh, homemade pumpkin puree for canned. We'll never do canned again if we can help it!
Buy a little, tender, organic sugar pumpkin at the farmers market, cut it in eighths, scrape out seeds, and steam or boil it. Cool, remove skin, and blend. Presto, puree! Not only that, but exactly the 15 oz. or so you'll need to fill the deep dish pie recipe above.
You can also use pumpkin butter, packed in non-leaching glass jars, from your local farmers markets or a pumpkin farm near you, which you can locate with Local Harvest's handy search engine. Two good companies that make pumpkin butter are Muirhead Foods and Latimore Valley Farms.
Many pumpkin pie recipes called for canned evaporated milk. Anyone who grew up across the road from a dairy will say blech and tell you to use thick, heavy organic cream or soy milk, BPA-, hormone-, and antibiotic-free. Organic Valley has some truly scrumptious cream, widely sold in supermarkets, if you can't find some from a local dairy (see Local Harvest, above).
Vegans shouldn't be left out of the cold. You can use sweet soy milk from Eden Foods, in BPA-free aseptic cartons, or use this pumpkin pie recipe that only calls for pumpkin butter, sweetener, and spices.
- 3/4 lb. firm tofu
- 2 cups pumpkin puree (if you use pumpkin butter, taste before adding any spice/sugar)
- 1 cup brown or raw sugar
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (safflower, canola or corn)
- 2 Tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 1 hr
Total time: 1 hr 10 min
Blend or process until smooth
add to pie shell; and bake for at least 350 degrees F for 1 hr., or until firm and knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Makes one pie
Win-win: One pumpkin pie from scratch, and another way to scratch BPA off your list!
It's a way to truly be in the moment. A slice of Zen. And a slice of pie.

Tex-Mex food is not known for being a healthy type of cuisine. In fact, when most think of Tex-Mex quick-serve, they think of saucy, cheesy, high calorie meals. Barberitos Southwestern Grille & Cantina wants to change that perception.
Barberitos is doing many things in order to help their customers be healthy. The "Healthy Menu" provides customers with seven different options with less than seven grams of fat. This has inspired some of our customers to change their eating habits. Barberitos recently hosted a "Get Fit and Healthy Challenge" where customers ate off the Barberitos Healthy Menu a few times a week. This, along with regular exercise helped quite a few customers slim down and get fit! In addition to the "Healthy Challenge" program, Barberitos has a nutritional calculator on their website where customers can build their own custom burrito with all of the nutritional information available.
Barberitos is a fast-causal Tex-Mex concept based out of college town, Athens, Georgia. It currently has 33 locations with more than a dozen under contract to build new locations. Barberitos ingredients are all fresh, delivered daily, and locally grown.
Downing Barber, founder and CEO of Barberitos, says that creating food with fresh, high quality ingredients is what he wanted to do from the get-go. "There's something satisfying about knowing that what you're eating is created with fresh produce from a local vendor. Truly fresh food is better for your body, inside and out." The brand's ingredients are all natural and as fresh as can be, and it's all prepared in front of you and made to order.
Barberitos knows that the quality of its ingredients is what separates it from competitors. Barber claims, "We have a very loyal customer base, and the consistently fresh ingredients keep them coming back for more."
Barberitos is a quick service restaurant offering fresh, made in-house food that is customized and made to order. Burritos, tacos, salads, quesadillas, and nachos are their specialties.
Committed to serving "farm fresh" food, Barberitos serves all natural vegetables delivered to stores and hand-cut daily. Whole breasts of chicken are grilled fresh, as is the high quality cuts of steak, and choice ground beef. Barberitos restaurants are not equipped with microwaves, as all food is prepared fresh. Barberitos' salsas, guacamole, hot sauces, meat marinades, salad dressings, rice, beans, char grilled meats, chips, and dips are made from scratch each day.
Each menu offering is prepared at the time it is ordered right in front of the customer. Barberitos "7 Under 7" menu features seven items each under seven grams of fat including a mini grilled chicken burrito, jerk fish taco, and a variety of salads.
Barberitos provides full-service catering ranging from burrito boxed lunches to taco, salad, nacho, or fajita bar that can be customized to serve a few to several hundred people.
Barberitos has 48 signed restaurant locations, 33 of which are open for business in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida.

More than 600 million people use Facebook to keep in touch with old friends, get to know new ones, share pictures, network-and to keep up with their favorite brands and products. Creating and maintaining a Facebook presence has become a standard practice for companies of all sizes. Customers can "Like" the brands that they, well, like. Previously referred to as "becoming a fan," liking a page lets customers receive updates and promotions from a company. But what value truly lies in these likes? How much is a Facebook fan really worth?
Social marketers voiced a need to quantify the worth of a Facebook fan, and a few companies took a swing at pinning down an answer. The approaches were wide-ranging and the results even wider, but each reaches the same conclusion-Facebook's potential for building brand-to-customer relationships is priceless.
For Syncapse Corp., a Toronto-based social media management software provider, the best way to monetize the "likers" of a company's page was to look at their relationship with the company versus the relationship between the company and nonfans. After collecting self-reported data from Facebook users, Syncapse found that Facebook fans are a different type of customer, with different potentials, explains Paul Cowan, Syncapse's vice president of measurement practice. The study quantified fans' and nonfans' product spending, loyalty to a company, propensity to recommend a company, brand affinity, media value, and acquisition cost. It found that, on average, a customer who is a Facebook fan is worth $136.38 more than a customer who is a nonfan. Cowan is careful to clarify Syncapse's intention in this study. Its question, he says, was not, " 'Is Facebook causing people to spend more money?' but it was really, 'Are they a different customer segment because they decided to create a different relationship with the brand or product or organization?' "
"You need to develop strategies to try to exploit that base of people, and treat that base of people differently," he emphasizes, "because they're a self-segmented group of customers that are saying that they have an affinity toward your brand." The fact that consumers use Facebook as a tool to reach out to a company means that the true value of Facebook lies in a brand's engaged audience on Facebook, not simply in its fans' awareness of the brand's promotions. Even fans can be broken down into high- and low-value fans, based on their participation with the company.
Companies can leverage this subset of their customer bases to create targeted marketing channels. "Marketers need to start to think about how they want to try to use Facebook and Twitter and other channels as a way to have more relevant conversations with people," says Cowan.
Vitrue, Inc., another provider of software for social media management, took a different route to turning Facebook fans into a dollar amount. At the request of its clients, the Atlanta-based company came up with a basic formula to measure the value of a brand's Facebook fanbase, depending on how many likes the page had acquired. Vitrue looked solely at Facebook fans in terms of the amount of impressions that they enabled. If a company's Facebook page garners 1 million likes, for example, and the company posts twice a day, then the brand effectively appears twice on every fan's newsfeed, giving it a total of 2 million impressions per day, or about 60 million in 1 month. Using the cost per thousand of $5 as an example, those 60 million impressions translate to about $300,000 in revenue every month, or $3.6 million each year. After dividing this amount by the 1 million fans of the page, each like is worth $3.60 annually.
Reggie Bradford, CEO of Vitrue, says that although the company received some criticism for applying an over-simplified CRM model to Facebook, its point was to demonstrate the monetary possibilities in Facebook impressions and to supply its customers with a tool to measure those possibilities. He says, "If you build an audience on Facebook, and you message them a few times a day, and you start to drive engagement using multimedia like images and polls and coupons and videos, to create that relationship, to get people to share and comment, and you do it consistently, you're creating enormous impression-to-earned media value."
Though Vitrue's formula is mainly based on Facebook posts as a distribution channel and doesn't measure other interactivity, the brand awareness translates into earned media value. Cowan agrees with Bradford on this point. "Fan growth is a great thing," says Cowan, "but the real intent of it is so you can get more impressions within the Facebook news feed, which we calculate in terms of earned media value." The overwhelming majority of consumers buy products and services based on friend recommendations, Bradford says. Facebook's value lies in the easy communication among all aspects of a customer's network, says Bradford. "It's about me and my friends and the brand."
Most of the value of a Facebook fan lies in marketing potential. Facebook's social advertising strategy is using likes to deliver paid ads with the weight of word of mouth. Stories such as "Julie Smith likes Oreos" may appear within friends' newsfeeds, but may also appear on the sidebar with an Oreos advertisement, to ensure visibility and maximize impressions. These social advertisements give paid ads a viral quality. "It's a very valuable channel and it's just getting started," Bradford says.
Facebook is helpful for increasing brand awareness, but can it be relied on to drive sales? Sucharita Mulpuru, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research, Inc., says no: It is not a player in the ecommerce field, and it's likely it will never be one. A Forrester report published in April by Mulpuru titled "Will Facebook Ever Drive eCommerce?" shows that only 3% of respondents had used Facebook to purchase products. For certain businesses, mostly those offering online games or virtual goods, Facebook as a source of ecommerce is plausible, but the social model will not work for most other companies. Mulpuru says that the only "reasonable figure" quantifying Facebook's monetary value would look at a "direct and tangible benefit that is tied back to sales."
Even as a distribution channel, Facebook's performance may be too unreliable to replace email lists. "Wall posts by brands to fans may supplement emails but are frequently deprioritized by Facebook's algorithm for relevance and are hence not always easy ways for companies to reach shoppers," Mulpuru cautioned in the report. The report also points out that, for now, a hybrid messaging strategy is best, because "email helps to drive total Facebook fans and Facebook posts reinforce email messaging." Still, the use of Facebook itself may not directly result in revenue from fans to brands.
Even if they can't agree on a number, Cowan, Bradford, and Mulpuru all agree that Facebook has become an essential tool in building a brand's relationship with its customers. "The primary value of social networks is said to be in listening," says Mulpuru, "and listening is certainly about strengthening customer relationships." Monetizing that relationship is not necessarily the most important part of Facebook marketing-but leveraging a brand's connection with its fans as a valid marketing channel may be the most valuable aspect of the social network.
In order to leverage likes, marketers will have to become increasingly creative. Looking forward, Cowan sees social marketers creating highly customized content for those who like their brands' pages. "The whole creative exercise within social media, which is one of the big, highly unquantifiable areas ... that's one of the biggest challenges that exists within Facebook," he says.
Bradford agrees that the mindset of marketers is shifting. "People are really starting to think about [Facebook] as a relationship channel and as a channel to try to understand customers and customer bases," he says. "It's a new era."

Gibson Engineering Co., Inc.
Gibson Engineering is a distributor of products used to automate manufacturing processes. We are also a team of engineers who know how to apply those products for maximum return on investment. We provide products, support and training to our customers in disciplines spanning robotics, vision, motion, ergonomics, material handling, safety, sensing, pneumatic automation and machine controls. Our engineers sit shoulder to shoulder with customer engineers to develop solutions which reduce time to market, increase throughput and yield, enable traceability and save energy. Our mission is to increase customer productivity, competitiveness and profitability.
Historically we have served the New England market, but several years ago we decided to stop saying no to people who wanted to do business with us in other parts of the world. Since then, while the majority of our business is still in the six New England states, we have done projects in Germany, Costa Rica, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Mexico.
We serve anyone involved in manufacturing, but over the last few years our largest customer segment has been life science, followed by machine builders, photovoltaics, food and beverage, packaging and consumer goods.
Our top three vendors include one from Japan, one from Germany and one from the USA. Together they represent over a half a billion dollars of R&D annually.
Our key audience are engineers involved in machine design and manufacturing automation. They could be anywhere from very near retirement age to just out of school. One common theme is that engineers are by nature risk avoiders. One old maxim is that "it is every engineer's goal to reach retirement age without ever being blamed for anything". We pride ourselves on bringing "disruptive" technologies to market and being somewhere near the leading edge of manufacturing technologies.
One of the reasons for the logo redesign project is that our old logo had a map of New England as part of the logo, but our business is now expanding beyond that region. It is somewhat counter to our goals to be competing for jobs in Germany with a map of New England on our logo.
We want to leverage our successful history, while making sure we are seen as vital, energetic and enthusiastic. There is no coasting in this business, we are working for our customers every day.
One other thing that is interesting about our target customers. We do internal training every December, taking our team offline for a full week of technical training which we call "geek week". We were surprised that when customers found out about it they wanted to know if they could participate. Generally it seems our ideal customers want to wave their "geek flag" high.
To start off with we want a logo and all the associated file formats needed for web, print and publishing. Eventually we would like to add to this branding by building on the original design to differentiate some aspects of our business from others. So while to start we want a logo that appeals to our target audience, but that isn't too cartoonish, or too limiting. The company has been around for 65 years and has had only three minor logo changes in that time, so we don't want to do something that we'll have to change again next year. We think it might have some aspect of the fact that we are now doing business globally and intend to continue that expansion, and the fact that we are a technology provider with a high level of intellectual value add.
The logos included with this brief are Gibson logo.jpg which was our logo from 1987 until this year, and the Gibson_Logo_Pat.png is one which we've started using, but are not happy with and intend to change before it is too widely used.
Thank you for your time and attention.

The last of the carrots are being pulled from the ground in backyard gardens in all but the warmest regions of the country. Instead of using them in the same old recipes, try a new one like one of the following.
1. Weekend Vegetarian Stew – This stew is full of vegetables – carrots, Swiss chard, corn, pumpkin and more — along with barley, split peas and beans. Mushrooms and several herbs and spices add a ton of flavor.
2. Winter Greens, Carrot and Tofu Eggrolls – These eggrolls are vegan and look like a great light meal or appetizer idea.
3. Kale and Pesto Crostini with Roasted Vegetables – Carrots, beets and parsnips are roasted to put on top of crispy toasts spread with a kale pesto.
4. Carrot Jam – Carrots make an amazing colored jam, and their sweetness lends itself to jam.
5. Carrot Fritters – Grated carrots are added to mashed potatoes bound with some egg and fresh breadcrumbs make yummy looking fritters, or are they patties?

In yet another Miss Universe scandal, Miss Delaware Teen USA Melissa King has given up her tiara after a porn video purporting to feature the pageant winner surfaced.
According to the newspaper website, Delawareonline.com, King denies she appeared in the video, despite the visual similarities between her and the woman in the video:
A porn website posted a sex video Monday featuring a woman who looks and sounds like King and claiming it is the teen pageant winner. King, contacted Monday, said she was aware of it, but denied it was her.
"Absolutely not," she said. "It is not."
Pageant spokesperson Dara Busch confirmed in an email to the newspaper that King had given up her title.
Cord Jefferson of Gawker.com describes the apparent link to Miss Teen USA in the video:
In the clip, a woman who resembles King says that she turned 18 three months ago—"In March"—before telling an off-camera interviewer that she decided to go into porn because she needed the money. The woman then says she participates in beauty pageants, though she doesn't reveal in which state she competes.
No word on what Dave, who is described on her bio page as her "infamous 'guy' friend," thinks about this.

David Flanagan
David Flanagan is a computer programmer who spends most of his time writing about JavaScript and Java. His books with O'Reilly include Java in a Nutshell, Java Examples in a Nutshell, Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, and JavaScript Pocket Reference. David has a degree in computer science and engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He lives with his wife and children in the U.S. Pacific Northwest between the cities of Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. David has a blog at www.davidflanagan.com.
"For anyone planning on doing some heavy duty canvas-based development, this book seems like a must-have, as it really does look like a solid and concise reference that would be a great alternative to the massive and intimidating Canvas spec."
"Simply put, this book is a necessity to mastering the Javascript language."
"Evolving with the language itself, and again brought up to date, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide still retains its crown as the ultimate reference resource for JavaScript programmers."
"Considering there's only 146 pages in this pocket guide, Flanagan uses them well to pack in a lot of essential information. He balances a great mixture of core information with short code snippets to show the options in context. If you're already comfortable with JavaScript coding, this could well be your main book for learning jQuery. Between this and other web site resources, you'd probably get most everything you need. Personally, I prefer something a bit more conversational for learning, so I'd use this pocket guide as a supplemental information source. Still, it's hard to go wrong here, and it's a great value. Definitely recommended... "
"I've enjoyed previous books by David Flanagan and decided to read jQuery Pocket Reference. I thought I would quickly skim through the chapters because I considered myself fairly proficient in jQuery. After the first chapter and Flanagan's explanations of jQuery's method, object, and function ('a' versus 'the'), I decided to read more in-depth. I'm glad, because this is one of the best books I've read in O'Reilly's Pocket Reference library. I was surprised to have found a one which has a perfect balance between API, examples, and explanation."
"I needed a book that explains how to use bitmap images and do image processing in them. The few pages in the book on those topics made the book worthwhile."
"Overall an excellent book that clearly achieves everything that intends."
"This is a must-have book for anyone interested in dynamic web site programming."
"JavaScript: The Definitive Guide by David Flanagan is probably the best reference possible for this extremely useful, but complex language. I came to this book with absolutely no knowledge of Javascript, and so this book was my first real taste of the language. "
"An absolute steal at the price; if you've any interest in Ruby you have to buy this book. "
"The Ruby Programming Language is one of the only books on the list to receive a perfect 5/5 stars from Amazon. The O'Reilly resource on Ruby is an excellent guide for those wanting to learn the language from the bottom-up. The text is centered largely around theory and thoroughly explains the API and syntax around the language."
"David Flanagan has written 4 editions of this extremely popular guide to Javascript. It's a massive 1,018 pages and covers virtually every topic in the realm of javascripting. It's an essential javascript resource."
"The Ruby Programming Language is my new favorite Ruby book. I personally think it is a better text than the famous "Pickaxe" book...If you want the defacto Ruby book, this is it."
"Really found this to be an excellent guide to the Ruby programming language. This is definitely not just the API rehashed in print...The writing style is like having an expert sit down and explain to you the various facets of the language, how to use them, points that are notable, etc. And all of this content is within a reasonable 400 pages."
"Ruby aficionados have been working for the last few years under a serious handicapt: there was not good, up-to-date reference on their favorite language. Sure, the Pickaxe book provided some guidance, but it's a hybrid work--part tutorial, part reference. And the reference section was a summary, rather than an in-depth exposition. Ever-dependable O'Reilly just released Ruby Programming Language, which is without a doubt the definitive Ruby reference. Not only is it co-authored by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, the inventor of Ruby, but it is superbly well edited, so that every page is full of useful information presented clearly. And at more than 400 pages, that's a lot of information. Couple this book with The Ruby Cookbook, which I reviewed on this blog, and you have probably the best 1-2 combination for learning and using Ruby.
"For a long time now Dave Thomas Programming Ruby (aka. The Pickaxe) has been the standard in the Ruby community as the book to learn Ruby from. Unfortunately the Pickaxe is not the best programming book ever written. In fact, its bulk and slowness almost killed my inspiration to learn Ruby. I respect Dave Thomas a lot for what he does for the Ruby community but the Pickaxe and I just did not click. Since I didnt find the Pickaxe to be excellent reading material, I had been eagerly anticipating David Flanagans The Ruby Programming Language to come out and unseat The Pickaxe as the de facto book to recommend to newcomers to Ruby. I am happy to say that The Ruby Programming Language did not disappoint. I picked up this book solely expecting to just review it since I already comfortable programming in Ruby. However, once I started reading the book I found myself frequently learning things about Ruby that I didnt know before. Not like little things either like, oh thats interesting. Im talking significant things like holy crap thats sweet!...OReilly is hoping that The Ruby Programming Language becomes the equivalent of K&Rs The C Programming Language for Ruby and I hope it succeeds. I think that every language needs their own K&R book for people to turn to as the definitive authority."
"One long-time Rails developer sent me an email with their first impressions of The Ruby Programming Language: "I have been finding the book very useful, and I'm glad I did get it sooner rather than later." Matz said "Ruby is designed to make programmers happy." It looks like similar design thinking went into this book."
"...a simple, no-nonsense text that will answer just about any question you might have about the Ruby programming language."
"...this book was a tremendous help when I first started using Java and continues to be an outstanding reference as I become more experienced in Java."
"I have a different JavaScript reference manual at work, but it's never been one that I've relished having to use. This volume is slated to take over that shelf space next week... Great job."

Chemical resistance
Information about chemical resistance is provided in the table, regarding the resistance of SKF sealing lip materials to most of the substances encountered in industrial applications. The information is based on in-house testing and the experience of users, as well as information from the suppliers of the various materials. Unless otherwise stated, the information is valid for media of commercial purity and quality.
The chemical resistance of a seal is influenced by temperature, pressure and the amount of media present. Other important factors to consider when selecting a suitable sealing lip material include:
- type of service (static or dynamic)
- circumferential speed of the sealing lip
- shaft and housing materials
- surface finish of the seal counterface
Because the above mentioned factors also influence the service life and performance of the seal, the information contained in the table Chemical resistance can only be considered as a rough guide.

Would You Date a Bartender?
Valentine's Day has us thinking about romance. And to us, there's nothing more romantic than a captivating conversation over cocktails. But would you date the cutie on the other side of the bar?
Dating a bartender has its benefits: you already know that your favorite bartender is attractive and creative, and they probably sparked your interest with charming conversation. Your bartender-beau can try out new drinks on you, and might have some time during the off season for a little world traveling.
"Having a bartender at home is about as fun as it sounds," says our contributor (and former Managing Editor) Carey Jones. During recent snowstorms, Carey says, her bartender boyfriend concocted seasonal blood orange-cranberry daiquiris "and experimented with numerous hot toddies; during the holidays we had fresh eggnog better than anyone's."
An amazing home bar is a big side-benefit: "We have the most absurdly well-stocked liquor cabinet, with hundreds of bottles, every imaginable shaking/muddling/juicing implement, a dozen kinds of bitters. And his experiments are all around the house—right now there's Sichuan peppercorn-infused white rum, a barrel-aging mezcal-Scotch cocktail with about 10 weeks on it, cardamom simple syrup and rosemary honey in the fridge." This sort of working at home sounds pretty appealing: "Also fun: sitting on the couch while he develops a cocktail menu and brings over new drinks for assessment every 15 minutes. It's fun to collaborate, too; I feel very cool when I come up with an idea that makes it onto his list, and even cooler when I name it!"
But there are downsides, too. Namely: the hours. If your partner works nights and you work days, you may never see each other. "I date a day-walker," says Maxine Sharkey Giammo, a bartender at Sarma in Somerville, MA, "so I mostly see my boyfriend angelically asleep when I get home." Giammo doesn't recommend that bartenders date other bartenders, though: "At our best, we are slightly dysfunctional, overthinking, highly social introverts, which is a ratio I wouldn't raise to the 2nd degree."
Others say bartender-bartender relationships are ideal: Claire Sprouse, who can be found at San Francisco's The Hideout at Dalva, says dating a bartender works out: "Our relationship is easier to navigate since we both have similar schedules, appetites for destruction, and an understanding that a little winking across the bar at guests is just part of the job and part of the fun."
Not sure you could handle a bunch of bros trying to get the attention of your lady friend instead of just admiring the skillful way she carves ice spheres? Would you flip out over a gaggle of girls giggling at your man's jokes? Maybe dating a bartender isn't for you...
For some, it comes down to one big risk. If you get together with the bartender at your favorite neighborhood joint, and then things don't work out, you may have to break up with the bar. And there are only so many great bars out there.
Tell us: would you date a bartender? If you've done it, do you have any advice?

The sobriety of Gaudí.
This work was not begun by Gaudí, he just finished it. Owing to the fact the nuns had very little money, it was built in brick but with the stamp of the great master.
The materials and shapes used in this construction are very simple, used in the exterior facade and in the corridor-cloister of the parabolic arch. The iron work of the door is marvellous as well as the religious symbols, however, what is really curious is that it does not have a lock and cannot be opened from the outside.

Lack of space, language barrier or one-time offer?
Plus, I see two different sandwiches on this sign, so there goes your credibility. Just egregious branding all around.
~ by zactopia on December 7, 2014.
Posted in Uncategorized
03.15.2010 "Plastic Ono Band," John Lennon. Lennon's first album after the Beatles broke up. Raw, stripped-down, a stellar work of art from start to finish.
03.17.2010 "War Elephant," Deer Tick. Old soul John J. McCauley III was a mere 19 when he wrote the bulk of these songs. And he sounds like he's 49. Amazing lyrics. They co-headlined last year's SXSW.
03.18.2010 "Fruit," Asteroids Galaxy Tour. Check out my review here: http://bit.ly/n3FMny
07.21.2010 "Big," Macy Gray. For anyone seeking another Macy Gray album on par with "On How Life Is," look no further. Though not as instantly catchy, with repeated listenings it's simply euphoric. "Big" showcases Macy's highly under-appreciated wordsmithery, her peerless phrasing and that otherworldly helium voice—the most engaging and expressive female voice I've heard since Nina Simone.
02.18.2011 "Return to the Sea," Islands. Following the brilliant, short, happy life of Montreal indie rock band The Unicorns and their gem, "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?" frontman Nick Diamonds and drummer J'aime Tambeur emerged from the ashes to form Islands—and one of the more compellingly quirky, epic, sprawling and distinctive albums known to man.
09.15.2011 "Fuzzy" and "Mighty Joe Moon," Grant Lee Buffalo. Part Wilco, part Eddie Vedder, part Elliott Smith. And yet, completely original. Why more people haven't heard Grant Lee Buffalo is a crime against good taste. Two of the best albums of the '90s right here, masterfully written, voiced and shredded by Grant-Lee Phillips.
12.7.2011 "Mr. Wizard," R.L. Burnside. If this old school, north Mississippi juke joint bluesman doesn't (at the very least) get your head a-bobbin' or toe a-tappin', then you're fucked—because you have no soul. That's a fact. Burnside, a toothless, badass septuagenarian who's now passed away, shreds Mississippi Delta blues—right when it turned electric. Saw him in concert back in 2001, and it was easily one of the top 3 shows I've ever had the privilege to attend.

Oceanographer David Karl elected to National Academy of SciencesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology
"Dr. Karl's research on microorganisms in the ocean has vastly increased the world's realization of just how vital the seas are to the health of our planet," said SOEST Interim Dean Klaus Keil. "We are delighted to count him as one of our most distinguished scientists in SOEST."
Karl has received several other honors in recent years. In October of 2004 he received the highest honor of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Henry Bryant Bigelow Award in Oceanography. He was also designated the Chancellor's Distinguished Lecturer of Louisiana State University in September, 2005. This was followed in November of 2005 by the David Packard Medal from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), given as a means to recognize outstanding achievements and leadership in the field of Marine Science.
"For the second year in a row the National Academy of Sciences has seen fit to bestow this honor upon one of our faculty members," said Manoa Vice Chancellor for Research Gary Ostrander. "This does not come as a great surprise when one considers the contributions Dr. Karl has made to the field of Oceanography over many years. We are indeed fortunate to have him on our faculty."
Karl received a bachelor's degree in biology from the State University College at Buffalo, New York, in 1971, a master's degree in biological oceanography from Florida State University in 1974, and a Ph.D. degree in oceanography from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, in 1978. He joined the faculty of the University of Hawaii as an assistant professor of oceanography in 1978 and was promoted to his current position of professor of oceanography in 1987. He has been a member of the affiliate faculty of the Bermuda Biological Station for Research since 1995. In the course of his career, Karl has spent more than three full years at sea, including 23 expeditions to Antarctica.
The election was held Tuesday morning during the business session of the 143rd annual meeting of the Academy. "Election to the Academy is considered one of the highest honors in American science and engineering," said Ralph Cicerone, who became president of the Academy in 2005. Barbara Schaal, an NAS member since 1999 who was elected last year as the academy's first woman vice president, noted, "This year's new class represents outstanding accomplishment in a wide variety of disciplines."

About the National Academy of Sciences
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is an honorific society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. It was created by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Its members serve as principal science advisors to the U.S. Government. The Academy's service to government has become so essential that Congress and the White House have issued legislation and executive orders over the years that reaffirm its unique role.
