Sterling Faucet Co. was founded in 1907 and prospered for many years as a leading independent manufacturer of faucets and other brassware. In 1984 Kohler Co. acquired Sterling for two reasons: it provided a foundation on which to build a mid-priced, full-line plumbing brand, and it gave Kohler entrée to sales through retail stores, a distribution channel that was beginning to grow rapidly. Over the next several years, Kohler acquired other companies to enhance the STERLING line and fill out the brand to meld with stainless steel sinks, compressed fiberglass bathtubs and enclosures, and vitreous china products. In doing this, Kohler successfully turned a modest-sized faucet company into a significant full-line brand. Today, STERLING® is a brand of Kohler Co., the recognized leader in kitchen and bath design. Kohler's diversity of products and powerful portfolio of businesses offer industry-leading design, craftsmanship and innovation all knit together by a single level of quality over a broad range of price points.

Remove Crypren Ransomware Step by Step
Crypren virus is a ransomware virus that is designed by cyber criminals to swindle money. This virus usually conceals in spam e-mail attachments, pirated movie torrents, removable devices and freeware installation packages. So, you probably execute its files by accident. Once Crypren virus sneaks into your PC successfully, it will quickly finish the installation and then begin its malicious activities. To begin with, it alters system settings and registry entries, so as to lock your computer. As a result, you will be prevented from visiting your own computer.
And in order to threaten you, Crypren generates a fake notification which says your PC is locked due to distributing pirated/pornographic stuff, and if you don't pay for the fine, you will receive a criminal accusation released by the law enforcement agencies. Please don't believe its words and pay the money, because Crypren is totally a scam and the notification is one of its tricks. Even though you pay for the money, the real infection will not disappear and what you get will be financial losses and numerous PC malfunctions.
On the other hand, Crypren virus seriously slows down computer running. Because of it, the infected machine will run as slow as a snail. Moreover, this virus has the ability to collect data from the targeted PC, which means it can steal your confidential data and transmit the records to its creators. By then, your losses will be unexpected and irreparable. All in all, you should bear in mind that Crypren virus is a really dangerous infection and once it is found in your computer, you should take immediate action to get rid of it.

Very true. I hear owners and managers talking about their open-door policy, but when I ask them what they learn as a result they almost always say that the staff doesn't take advantage of it. I would turn that around and say that the owner and manager are responsible for getting the employees through the door. An open-door policy is an extremely effective management tool, but it is up to us to make it work.
Here are four tips to improving your open-door approach:
1. Invite your employee in to talk. As much as you'd like to think your entire staff will waltz in and tell you what they think - that's just not reality. No matter how you try to position that open door, most people are pretty guarded when talking with the boss.
While you'll always have a couple employees who are so comfortable in talking you might think you have a revolving door policy, the rest of the team might need some help to overcome that natural reticence. Regularly inviting employees to come in and share their thoughts will get them comfortable. When they're comfortable they will come in when they need to.
2. Stop whatever you're doing and give an employee your undivided attention. I'll admit that there were times I would try to carry on a conversation with an employee while simultaneously checking email and watching the security monitors. Not cool and downright rude.
Either stop what you're doing or ask the employee to come back at another time if it's not an emergency. An open door policy is about more than a literal door.
3. Use every conversation as an opportunity to learn how you can improve your organization. I worked for a manager who used to call me in the office and ask, "So what's up?" Believe me, the conversation peaked right there. I would answer "not much" and then he'd talk about himself.
Ask questions like, "Tell me two things you would change if this was your company" or "What do you like most about your position, and what frustrates you the most?" You get the point.
4. Don't undermine your management team. One of the advantages of a successful open-door approach is having employees come to you when they're frustrated or unhappy with their manager. It's important to listen to what the employee has to say, but at the same time don't throw their manager or assistant under the bus. You're only hearing the employee's perspective, so be careful how you respond.
Use the conversation as an opportunity to coach the employee, or if necessary offer to follow-up with them after talking with the manager. But since you're only hearing one side of the conversation be cautious of unintentionally undermining the manager.
So let me ask, how open and effective is your open-door approach?

The Health and Healing Benefits of Raw Honey
by Luella May
(The Best Years in Life)
When we look at the word "raw", we
associated it with the preservation of
important vitamins,
minerals and
enzymes. Just as raw vegetables are
preferable because of their nutritional
content, the same is true of honey. Raw
honey is honey that has not been heated,
pasteurized or processed in any way. The
differences between raw and pasteurized
honey are substantial. Raw honey is an
alkaline-forming food that contains
natural vitamins, enzymes, powerful
antioxidants, and other important
natural nutrients. These are the very
nutrients that are destroyed during the
heating and pasteurization process. In
fact, pasteurized honey is equivalent to
and just as unhealthy as eating refined
There are many varieties of honey,
some of which are used to treat specific
health conditions

Four Reasons SEO Campaigns Fail, and How To Change That
Businesses launch SEO campaigns all the time, and these campaigns often fail for a few standard reasons. The problem is, each failed campaign is a loss of time, money, and potential profits – so what can you do to make sure that your campaigns fare reaching potential guests at your hotel? The first step is being aware of the cause. These four reasons are why ninety percent of SEO campaigns fail.
1. Companies try to appeal to too many people
A business should know its market, and know its audience. Trying to create a blanket campaign that appeals to every gender and every creed will fail. Being aware of who specifically your customers are will prevent your campaign from failing to get anyone's attention. Is your hotel near an attractive tourist location for retirees? Is your town it a business convention hub? This information is one of the basic elements of starting a business, and is essential for implementation into a successful SEO campaign.
2. Poor branding
Not only is an SEO campaign meant to bring more customers, but it is also meant to strengthen the brand of your company. The problem is, far too many people misunderstand branding and what it is meant to do. If that is the case, consider seeking an external expert – it saves you the trouble of becoming a branding expert, an area that can take years to fully master. It's easier to hire someone if you have trouble with branding.

We Call on Brooklyn District Attorney's Office to Free Jermaine Archer!
This petition had 283 supporters
Early in my incarceration I recognized the need to make changes in my life and atone for my past behavior because although I did not kill Patrick Niles, I realized that my lifestyle contributed to my incarceration, which led me to pursue available academics, vocational and therapeutic opportunities. From 2002-2003, I earned an apprenticeship certificate in vocational air conditioning and refrigeration repair; completed and felicitated basic HIV/AIDS course sponsored by the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York, completed an 8-week legal research course and completed an 8-week Aggression Replacement Training course, which I then went on to facilitate.
In 2004, I completed the basic and advance Alternative to Violence Project (AVP) workshops and became an AVP facilitator while also coordinating and facilitating HIV/AIDS course for the Prison for AIDS Council and Education program. In June 2016, I completed the Certificate in Ministries and Human Services Program, a one-year pre-college program I've been completed Breaking Barriers, Men's Health, Basic Parenting and Healthy Relationship/Healthy Marriages, all Osborne Association-sponsored therapeutic programs. In 2007, the Osborne Association selected me to be a member of its New York State Children With Incarcerated Parents Initiative, a group that brainstorms with family court judges, lawyers and children advocates on the importance of safely maintaining relationships between children and incarcerated parents; I remain an active member of the group today, Osborne also chose me to participate in a panel discussion that helped the producers of Sesame Street create Alex, a Sesame Street character with an incarcerated parent.
Along the way, I taught myself French and Spanish; call wrote a proposal for a Basic Chinese Mandarin Language Class, affording others in sing sing the opportunity to learn a foreign language, became managing editor for the Sing Sing Chronicle; and joined the Rehabilitation Through the Arts, a program that utilizes the Arts to teach life skills.
The New Path episode helped me relate better to others and improve my relationships with friends, family members, prisoners, and prison staff and administration. It directs result of my transformation was my November 2007 marriage to Michelle who has since been my best friend. When we married, her two children Paul and Kaylea, came with the package and I relished the opportunity to be a husband and a father figure despite my incarceration. Fortunately, Paul and Kaylea afforded me that opportunity.
On May 15, 2010 Paul and Kaylea's father, Patrick Scott, was stabbed to death by his girlfriend. Having to console my wife and stepchildren over Patrick Scott's violent death magnified Patrick Niles death. Until then I constantly remind myself that I did not kill Patrick Niles. However, May 15th 2010 gave me a first-hand view of the impact that violence has on the family members left to survive the loss of a loved one. The fact that Kaylea and Paul's father was also named Patrick did not escape me, and I decided it was no coincidence that two Patricks had deeply impacted my life. Since then, I have tried to be the best person I can be and do all I can to stop all forms of violence, both inside and outside of prison.
In 2002, I participated in a debate involving Nyack students and incarcerated Mercy college students in the spirit of Bridging the Gap between inside and and outside collegiate communities. In 2013, I earned a bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science (Mercy College) in 2013 and in 2014 a master in professional studies through (New York Theological Seminary). I remain academically involved by tutoring pre-college and college students do partly to my history of tutoring others, I was chosen to feature in "First Degree," a PBS/Hudson link documentary that showcases how education in prison can be transformational.
When Hudson Link coordinated the first ever Tedx event inside a New York State prison with the theme of creating Healthy Communities, the event curators chose me to be the emcee. In furtherance of my education, I completed the Blackstone paralegal certificate program in October 2016.
I continue my volunteer endeavors as a member of the Forgotten voices committee, which raised $8,000 in prisoner donated funds to sponsor a gun back; the Voice From Within Group, which produced a documentary aim to reduce youth gun violence; and the youth assistance program, where is members meet regularly with court affected Community youth to share our experiences in the hopes of preventing young people from making poor decisions. Finally, Nele Dehnenkamp, and young filmmaker from Germany interested in documenting the impact of incarceration on family members selected Michelle and me to feature in her latest film, Down the River.
I hope this small sample of how I use my time speaks to my dedication towards transformation and Rehabilitation. I believe my commitment to Progressive activities and being of service to others, wild only incarcerated, demonstrate that I am not a threat to society and have taken steps to atone for my past life. For the more, my experiences, education, newly-acquired skills, and work ethics show that given the opportunity, I will be able to find and maintain gainful employment while also serving as a positive influence on young people.
We call on Brooklyn District Attorney's Office to Free Jermaine Archer for the following reasons:
1. There is overwhelming evidence that Jermaine is innocent of the crime he is incarcerated for;
2. He has demonstrated unparallel growth and transformation while incarcerated;
3. He has a family that needs him and whose lives continue to be negatively affected by his continued wrongful incarceration;
4. In today's climate of youth violence, our community needs positive role models with the education and experience to guide our young people away from the street life and toward success. We know Jermaine is prepared and eager to fill that role.
For these reasons, we actively support the immediate release of Jermaine Archer and call upon the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office to Free Jermaine Archer so that he can return to our society and become that much needed asset, role model, and example that our young generation so greatly needs.
Why Jermaine Archer's Conviction Should Be Overturned:
- The evidence of Jermaine's innocence is strong:
a. Two eyewitnesses testified at trial that they saw another man shoot Patrick Niles;
b. Several eyewitnesses who were never called to testify observed another man shoot at the car as it passed and gave statements identifying that man a the shooter;
c. The man identified a the shooter by the other witnesses later confessed to the crime and, when picked up by police, pled his Fifth Amendment right to all questions posed to him;
d. Two other eyewitnesses gave pre-trial statements that they did not see the shooting but were talking through their window with Jermaine, who was urinating against the building, at the time of the shooting.
- The evidence against Jermaine is weak:
a. The verdict is supported solely by one-witness's testimony. The witness, Carlos Bethune, gave four sworn statements, first admitting he did not see the shooting because it happened too fast, then identify Jermaine as the shooter, then recanting and admitting he had blamed Jermaine to a prior incident, the had been pressured by the District Attorney to blame Jermaine, and he was never sure who shot his friend because the shooting happened too fast; and finally accusing Jermaine again;
b. There is no credible evidence, no other evidence at all against Jermaine because he is innocent of the crime that has so far cost him 19 years of his life.

My Long Flight From Freedom
By Sandy Geyer
A courageous account of the emotional decision to leave South Africa
If you are a person who is currently facing a huge, emotional, life-changing decision, then this book is a must-read. It has been described as 'un-put-down-able' by all who have reviewed it. It is the story of the author's heart breaking choice - to leave behind her entire family so she and her husband could give their children a better future.
In the author's own words:
'From the time Nelson Mandela was freed in 1990 until the 2009 elections, much has happened in South Africa to the perception of freedom promised and longed for during the turbulent days of the 1970s and 1980s. South Africa is an extraordinarily beautiful and vast country with a climate beyond compare; a colourful nation of enormously talented and resourceful people, yet emigration out of South Africa over the past fifteen years has been extensive and the outward flow is ongoing. Which begs the question - why are so many people leaving South Africa?'
The story is an honest, sometimes humourous, always courageous account of her family's journey away from the so called 'freedom' that was promised. Her aim is to offer countless South African emigrants a voice and a recognition of the heartbreaking sacrifices they each made in their decision to leave their homes and their country whilst honouring the commitment and significance of those left behind.
She describes in detail genuine experiences of the turbulent times before the fall of Apartheid and the reasons and process of coming to the decision to leave. She describes the pain many people are feeling as a result of the troubles in South Africa and has delicately documented the events that brought about her decision, whilst ensuring the book is kept free of racism and political correctness.
Few of us can imagine what it must be like to find that freedom has become so fraught with danger that the only option left open is to leave your homeland and seek a new life on the other side of the world.
This is very much, a book that needed to be written.

The Legacy Project | Week Four, Part 3 - PARENTS (my thoughts)
The Legacy Project was born out of a need, a responsibility, to write down my own stories, my history, for my children.
This final part of Chapter 4 delves into my feelings and perceptions of my parents.
It is so interesting to read the previous two posts with my parents' descriptions of their childhoods and imagine the two of them as kids. (My dad's story here, my mom's story here.)
All I know of my mom and dad is them as PARENTS, but I do see some of what they describe as themselves as children even in their adult selves.
My mother is very gentle and loving and creative. She is always knows exactly how to comfort you when you are upset about something. She has just the right words and the right insight. I still remember the way she used to comfort me when I had bad dreams as a kid, and now I use her words with Lila. "Think of something nice. Something happy…" and then she would paint a picture in my mind of a happy setting to send me back off into sweet dreamland.
My mom was always making some sort of craft when we were growing up - whether it be sewing little animals or Christmas ornaments, or making banners for the elementary school, or doing some sort of calligraphy. Always making, always creating.
My dad is easy-going yet opinionated. I remember he used to be a bit impatient with us while helping us with things like math homework but he also used to take a lot of crap from us, too. He is a good sport :) There is an infamous story about us rafting down the Truckee River up in Tahoe and he was telling me what to do a little more than I liked, so I got out of the raft and walked the rest of the way down the river. No one in our family ever lets us forget that outing!
My dad was really involved with our elementary school athletics program - he coached both my brother and sister's basketball teams for many years. He used to drive me to high school every day until I got my license. I remember him teaching me to drive in the parking lot of his office building.
My dad is creative, too. He has always been the one who took the photographs in our family. He was always the one with the camera or the video camera. That hobby has only grown now that he is retired. He often sets off early in the mornings to do landscape or wildlife photography around the area that they live in California.
Both my parents have always liked the outdoors. Vacations for us growing up were usually at places like Lake Tahoe or Yosemite (and occasionally Disneyland, to make us kids happy!). We did a lot of traveling up and down the California coast to various beach towns or woods.
I remember them always gardening, or going to look at gardens (the Japanese Gardens where my sister got married is favorite place of theirs) or dragging us to Art and Wine festivals around the Bay Area (a drag as a kid, but I would probably love them now!).
I am really lucky in that I grew up in a time where we still had a lot of freedom. There were no home computers or internet or cell phones. I played outside or at the neighbor's house much of the time. My parents had a lot of trust in us. We had to be home at 6pm for dinner, and as long as we told them where we were going and what we were doing, we could pretty much do whatever we wanted.
That continued into high school. I don't remember ever having a curfew. I just had be honest about where I was going, what I was doing and who I was with. My parents liked my friends, and trusted that we would all be okay and not get up to too much trouble.
My parents weren't overly involved in my life as a teen, but they were supportive. They would come and see my plays at the community theater and drove me to rehearsals and dance lessons.
I get my creativity, my love of crafts, my passion for motherhood, my love of the little things in life from my mom. I get my opinionated ways, my love of adventure, the outdoors, photography, and organization from my dad. I think I get my stubbornness from both of them!
Seeing them take a chance on a completely different life when they moved from the UK to the US gave me the courage to do the same when I moved from California to New York.
They have always encouraged me to follow my dreams.
I think over the years I have been a risk-taker, but not without planning and a lot of thinking things over. I am not a spur-of-the-moment kind of decision-maker, and I think I inherited that from them too. They always advise taking the safer route, and although I have gone against that advice at times, it has not been without a lot of thought.
As far as differences go, my parents are definitely "English" in that they can be very reserved sometimes. They always let us know that they loved us (and still do), but its not often you see them "let their hair down" (although my dad has gotten drunk on a few occasions which has been pretty amusing - my college graduation party being one of those times!). One of the goals I have as a parent myself is to "lighten up", "have YES days" and "make time for play" (incidentally I do see my parents doing this now with their grandkids… I know how hard parenting is with two kids, so I can only imagine how tough it must have been with four. Maybe when I am a grandparent these goals to "lighten up" will be far easier!).
- Take chances, but think them through thoroughly.
- Follow your dreams.
- Be kind to others.
- Be honest, and conversely, trust those you love.
- Be open-minded.
- Get outside, go and DO something. Explore.
- There is beauty all around us - from the smallest detail to the grandest landscape.
- Keep learning new things.
- Be empathetic.
- Go with the flow. Roll with it. Let things go. Be flexible.
* * *
Being a parent is freaking hard. It is the hardest job I have ever had. And I only have two kids.
I have such admiration, especially for mom, who raised four kids in a new country while my dad worked full time. She knew no one, there was no internet to find online solace or support in. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for her (we didn't even have a babysitter growing up!). And she did it with love and grace. She is my hero.

When Safety is Not a Priority
January 04, 2018 | Finz & Finz, P.C.
When an Amtrak train derailed in Washington State on December 18th, 2017, civilians and government officials immediately began to wonder what went wrong. A local mayor went on the record, saying he expected something to go wrong with that stretch of line. Whenever a train derailment occurs, there are many possible explanations, from mechanical problems to driver error. Determining the cause is important to limiting the likelihood of a similar event occurring in the future.

WASHINGTON — Letting airlines escape punishment for safety violations if they voluntarily confess their errors to the government is essential for safety, an independent panel told the Federal Aviation Administration in a report released Wednesday. It said, however, that the government was not set up to determine whether airlines were abusing the process.
In addition, in cases in which F.A.A. inspectors and supervisors argue among themselves about whether to enforce penalties or to take a more cooperative approach, those disputes must be recognized as "a source for potentially serious error," panel members said.
Just such an argument apparently occurred last year at an office that oversees Southwest Airlines. Rank-and-file inspectors later testified before Congress that their supervisors improperly allowed Southwest to keep flying planes that did not meet safety rules because the airline had skipped required inspections for cracks. They said the supervisors threatened them.
That episode forced the cancellation of more than 100 flights and led to stricter inspections, which turned up problems at American Airlines, resulting in hundreds of planes being grounded and thousands of flights being canceled.
After the Southwest problems came to light, some in Congress called the disclosure system a loophole and said that the F.A.A. was too cozy with the companies it should have been regulating.Continue reading the main story
The Transportation Department convened the panel in reaction to the problems at Southwest and American.
After looking at "voluntary disclosure" practices in nine other federal programs, administered by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Medicare and the Environmental Protection Agency, among others, the panel said the F.A.A. program was similar. It said that in fields where there were few accidents, the only choice to improve safety was to gather data on "accident precursors," minor events that could add up to catastrophe. Such events, it said, were often known only to a few airline employees.
"We live in an era right now where we're blessed with extremely safe systems," said one panel member, William McCabe, a veteran of business aviation companies. "You can't use forensics," he said, because there are not enough accidents to analyze.
"You're looking for ugly," Mr. McCabe said. "You ask your people to look for ugly." A successful safety system, he said, "acknowledges, recognizes and rewards people for coming forward and saying, 'That might be one of your precursors.' "
The panel also recommended that when new rules are imposed requiring inspections or repairs by a certain date, the F.A.A. begin inspecting airplanes and airline records before the deadline, to see that the airlines are doing what was intended. It said the F.A.A. should keep careful track of airlines' disclosures, to ensure that they were not repeatedly owning up to the same problems.
Mary E. Peters, the secretary of transportation, said the F.A.A. would implement all 13 of the panel's recommendations, most by the end of the year. Among the changes, she said, would be regular audits of F.A.A. field offices to ensure that inspectors and supervisors did not develop "overly cozy relationships with the airlines they regulate."
She said, "The intent is clear, to make sure everyone recognizes that the only customer that matters to us in the end is the flying public and their safety."
The F.A.A. was also studying how much time its inspectors should spend reviewing data from the airlines, and how much actually looking at airplanes. Some inspectors have complained of being ordered to focus too heavily on airline records.
The problems at Southwest and American set off a broad F.A.A. audit of how well the airlines were complying with thousands of its orders. The audit turned up many violations, but none that took substantial time to correct. The airlines had a 98 percent compliance rate, the F.A.A. said.Continue reading the main story

Apparently, the Birds players agree with the majority of fans who have voted in our online poll: Nick Markakis does have a realistic shot at Rookie of the Year.
-O's want honor for Markakis (The Sun)
"He definitely [is getting overlooked], probably because he had such a slow start," Orioles closer Chris Ray said. "You look at this numbers, he definitely has to be the top rookie position player. His numbers are outstanding. The only person I canthink of that could beat him is [Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander]. With the Tigers being in the position where they are, that helps his case. But I think if Markakis keeps doing what he is doing, he has as good of a shot as anybody."
-Meanwhile, from CBS Sportsline:
OF Nick Markakis hit 10 home runs in August, the most by an Orioles rookie in a month. He's hitting .405 (30-for-74) his last 19 games.
"He deserves consideration for (rookie of the year) especially if he has another month like August," Manager Sam Perlozzo said. "He was sort of off everybody's radar until August."
-Baseballistic puts both Nick Markakis and Chris Ray in the running for Rookie of the Year.
-The Baseball Page ranks Markakis and MLB's "Rookie Phenoms" No. 4 among its nine biggest surprises of the 2005 season.
-No surprise here, but the Most Valuable Network is casting its ballot for Markakis:
"And finally let me get my daily Nick Markakis love in. He slugged another pair of hits on Sunday. That's a 5 game hit streak for the rookie, with 4 of those games have 2 hits each. All of this hitting has his average up to .301
He's a rookie in the AL East and he's hitting .301.
That's disgusting. This kid is as real as they get. Look for him in rookie of the year voting. He's got a real shot if they ignore all the pitchers."
-Finally, here's a chance to see how much the perception of Markakis – as well as his stats – has changed since June. In evaluating the Rookie of the Year candidates, Baseball Notebook wrote of Markakis: "Clearly, this 22-year-old is more of a long-term project."

Some Things To Remember Before Switching To Quickbooks Hosting
QuickBooks hosting is nothing more than hosting your accounts on the cloud. QuickBooks hosting allows users to access their accounts no matter where they are. This was a great benefit to people who wanted to access their accounts while on the move. Thousands of people are currently enjoying all the benefits associated with QuickBooks hosting, and this is perhaps why everyone should consider switching right away. Here's a quick checklist to keep in mind while choosing a company to help you make the switch which should make it a whole lot easier for you:
Company credentials: They will need to have sufficient experience and knowledge of QuickBooks hosting. If they have at least 2 years of experience in the industry, it's a good enough sign that you can go ahead with them.
Server location: Since it's your data, it's always better for you to try and keep the data within the boundaries of your country. There needs to be solid proof to show the data is being hosted in your home country.
SSAE or SAS70 certification: You are going to see tons of hosting providers if you perform a search online. But you will need to see how many of those providers are SSAE or SAS70 certified. Don't just go with any service provider.
References: There's nothing better than asking people who have already used a service provider what they think of them. It's obvious that they would be the best people to tell you whether you should work with them or not. If you can find a few good references, you can rest assured they are a good company to work with.
Once you've chosen a decent provider, you are going to start enjoying all the benefits of hosted QuickBooks almost immediately. A couple of benefits are:
You will be able to use a feature called universal printing which lets you connect all your printers with your accounts software. This makes it really easy for you to issue print reports, invoices, pay orders, sheets, etc. directly to your printer.
When setting up QuickBooks hosting, there is no upfront cost for you to worry about. Setting up traditional hosting is something which will cost you quite a lot of money in terms of security, maintenance, IT staff, etc. But with hosting, you can save all that money since you just have to pay a small fee to the service provider each month instead.

|The local paper on Friday
It is not so often that an audience rises as one to cheer and applaud at the end of a concert, but in Hobart this evening it was as if the crowd was a single organism. We had just heard a once-in-a-lifetime concert performance of Tristan und Isolde with the remarkable TSO under the baton of Maestro Marko Letonja. Nina Stemme and Stuart Skelton came to Tasmania from New York where they have been singing Tristan and Isolde at the Met and were joined by Slovenian Monika Bohinec who is currently with the Vienna State Opera. I don't know the name of the horn player who played the extraordinary part for English horn but she was as remarkable as the singers. Letonja slipped into the back of the orchestra to give her the bottle of wine he had been presented with, by way of thanks.
Wagner fans knew this would be no ordinary concert and members of various Wagner societies flew in to Tasmania from all over the country to hear it. It was definitely worth their while.
|Audience stands as one ...

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Interview
Category: InterviewsHits: 22195
Page 7 of 7Buck: Okay. What more can you tell us about the other games you have in development outside of this title and Pillars of Eternity II, such as Pathfinder Adventures?
Feargus: We're still working on Pathfinder, and it's going to come to Steam pretty soon. We're looking at how much more we'll support it. We're looking at potentially doing another one of the whole box sets. There's three or four box sets. We've done one and all its modules. We'd do another one. We're continuing to support Tyranny and we're talking a lot to Paradox about what other kind of support we could give Tyranny. And that's the stuff we're working on right now. We are actively proposing other games and we have enough proposals out right now and hopefully we're going to know in the next, sort of 30 to 60 days. the kind of what proposals are there.
I'm also looking at, is there other kind of financing I can go get from different kinds of investors? It would be cool to do a turn-based game. A lot of people ask all the time about doing a turn-based game. It's not like we could put a switch in the Eternity engine and now it's turn-based but the engine is pretty mature right now. And so what would take to put in a rule system in or stick with the rule system up there and then make a turn-based game. And maybe that game is in the Eternity universe and maybe it's not. One of Josh's favorite games of all time is Darklands. So he really would like to make sort of a non-fantastic medieval game.
So yeah, me and Josh are going to talk this year about how to do that. I also talk about how we could take the Eternity engine and make a film noir RPG you know, black and white. I don't know. It sounds totally silly but with that kind of, like, how people talk and just that vibe. But we're talking about a lot of stuff and we're going to be pitching people. And also, I'm looking at other ways to get funding for games so we can maybe try some of this stuff and not spend Pillars of Eternity level money. We can try unusual things and we can make money even if 200,000 or 300,000 people buy it, and if they enjoy it, that's awesome. And that can get maybe some funkier games out there in the market.
Buck: Yeah, absolutely. I think there are a lot of themes that go untouched and it's really unfortunate. I could see a AAA western-themed RPG being totally viable, and we really don't have enough gritty, seedy, horror-themed RPGs. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines has had a very long shelf life and it's still considered an iconic RPG to this day, yet no other horror-themed RPGs in a similar style have emerged since then.
I know White Wolf is starting to get back into that market with Werewolf officially announced and a few rumors about Bloodlines 2, but I'd love to see some of those lesser known themes explored more often, and it's unfortunate that they aren't. With Kickstarter and Fig and some of these other crowdfunding options, I'm hoping we will see more titles with these uncommon themes.
Feargus: Yeah.
Buck: And it'd be great if Obsidian was behind one of them.
Feargus: Yes, yes. I think Urban Fantasy is interesting. Urban Fantasy being like Vampire. The Urban Fantasy in the last two years is a little too – I'm not against romance and all that kind of stuff but some of it has gotten a little too romance-y for me. And I've probably talked to you about this before but the flavor that I think is interesting is Neil Gaiman's Other World. I think it's a novel called Other World or something like that. There was even like a BBC miniseries on it and it's about guy who falls into this other world of weapons.
And then there's a series of books by Simon Green about the Nightside which again is this kind of world where demons and angels and goblins just hang out in a city. So it's interesting. We actually have a pitch called "Hidden" which is about this darker city and it's about, sort of the real elements. We probably wrote the pitch nine years ago and it's maybe a darker, less Disney version of "Once" was kind of the concept even though there was no "Once" at the time.
I don't know. I think it would be cool to play in that kind of world, as well.
Buck: Alright, I know it's getting late there, so I don't want to take any more of your time.
Thanks again, Feargus. It was great talking to you, as always. Have a good night.
Feargus: You too.

This is the start of spring break here in Aggieland. We have taken the week of spring break off for the last 20 years. In a college town, everything changes when the students are out of town. The A&M campus is quiet and the restaurants and roads are not so crowded.
The public schools always take their break at the same time, so all of the students are out of school. That is why we started taken that week off also. A lot of the team had kids that were school age, so it made it easy on everyone. Of course, all of the kids have grown up and are not in school any more (including ours). However, we have gotten used to the break and will continue to take the time off at spring break.
It is a great time to travel, (our favorite), or just relax. It seems that some of our team is going on vacations, and others are just chilling and catching up on their sleep. I hope you enjoy the break, and if you don't have one, I am sorry! You should try it!!

DART 540ci V8! AUTO, FULL AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION, WILWOOD DISC BRKS, A/C, WOW
With its assemblage of top tier components combined with a great looking exterior, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is what resto-modding is all about - it combines the timeless charm of one of Chevy's most heralded muscle cars with well-selected upgrades for a car that's arguably even more fun to drive than it is to look at.
Chevelles of this era were enjoying both commercial and critical success - they were rightfully branded as "America's Most Popular Mid-Sized Car" while at the same time attracting an ever-growing legion of performance enthusiasts drawn to its rugged good looks. You can see that this specimen was configured with equal amounts of inspiration and restraint. It'll certainly distinguish itself in a crowd, but if you take a lap around the car, you'll find nothing has been added as a ploy simply to draw attention. There's really no need, anyway - with the sharp looking maroon metallic paint job sitting on top of the Chevelle's already magnetic exterior, its curb appeal is already off the meter. The color itself is a great choice, giving this classic Chevy a very custom look, and it's in fine shape, although a buff and polish would bring it up a notch. Those broad stripes that run the length of the scooped hood and deck lid in back are no mere decals - they're painted on and still retain their admirably sharp edges. The chrome and brightwork throughout the exterior is also looking good.
Inside you'll find a black vinyl interior that very effectively meshes some modern touches with the Chevelle's stock configuration, starting with a pair of custom high-backed buckets in front that combine an appealing, smooth surface with a bolstered support while cornering. They straddle a custom center console that houses an assortment of control switches, as well as a couple of cupholders that are sure to come in handy on the road. In back, another pair of bucket seats sit in place of the original bench - a well-performed modification that's left no "cut and paste" clues of customization behind. Just beyond the Budnik Billet steering wheel (an attraction in its own right) sits a great looking custom dash that houses a full complement of AutoMeter gauges in the cluster. You're not likely to run short of audio or viewing options in this classic, as a JVC AM/FM/CD/DVD system sits just above the console to handle your entertainment demands. The deep, spacious trunk area is in good order, lined with an expanse of black carpeting on all four sides to give it a very finished look and conceal the battery that's been relocated there.
If you're one of the many who subscribe to the notion that "there's no replacement for displacement," you're sure to be pleased with what lurks beneath the hood - a Dart Big M 540 cubic inch V8 outfitted with Pro Topline heads, a high-rise aluminum intake and a Holley 850 carb for exceptional power. It teams with a built 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and a 4.11 posi rear end to make for one seriously dynamic drivetrain. This Chevelle is about more than just straight ahead dominance, though, as it also features a coilover suspension with extensive Global West components front and rear for killer corner-carving ability, as well as Wilwood 4-wheel power disc brakes to bring it to a stop promptly. This Chevy muscle car classic sits on a set of 17" Budnik Billet wheels, outfitted with Michelin tires.
Looking for an outstanding ride that combines exceptional power and drivability with terrific looks? Be sure and check out this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS restomod. Call today!

You've seen the magnetizing pull some leaders have on the people around them. You want that for yourself, and in some cases, you've even been told it's needed to be successful.
"When you walk in the room," your boss or mentor tells you, "You need to present a more senior profile and own the room."
In an effort to gain this level of presence, you've read your share of books, implemented the ideas, altered the clothes you wear, secured material successes, titles, accolades, and even use superbly smart words to show that you've got what it takes.
Still, you don't have the kind of allure you've been told you need to progress. What gives?
The problem is in understanding there are two foundational ways in which to achieve leadership presence. In many cases it's entirely too easy to confuse them.
The first is through the use of dominance and control to manipulate others into throwing themselves at your feet. You've experienced those leaders who instigate fear the moment they walk into a room. People gravitate toward them because they think, "They must know something I don't know and/or have something I need to survive."
Think Donald Trump.
The second is through the use of unshakable belief in yourself, your purpose, and your vision. You've experienced those leaders whose presence leaves you feeling seen, heard, inspired and filled with hope. Some have big titles and media exposure (think Warren Buffet), while others are quietly making their dent in the universe.
I refer to the first type of presence as fear-based, and the second as purpose-based. My guess is that the true essence of what you're striving to elicit when you walk into a room is a magnetic pull based on clarity of purpose.
You want your presence to bring forth their desire to make a greater impact in the company and the community. You want them to be attracted to you based on the possibility and hope they see through your presence. You want to be fully present with them, as they share their hopes, dreams, and aspirations.
Real presence comes when you know, deep inside yourself, that you are enough, and have plenty to share with others. When you believe in yourself, your vision, and trust others to find their own way, they will be drawn to the light that radiates from you.
To strengthen your purpose-based presence, consider asking yourself the following five questions:
- What am I striving to achieve through my work?
- How will I know when I have succeeded?
- In what ways am I challenging myself to keep growing, learning and advancing?
- How am I helping those around me succeed?
- When I'm with others, am I really with them? (Or, am I distracted by email, text messages, and the zillion thoughts pinging around inside my head?)
When it comes to strengthening your presence, that last question is the most valuable of all. If your answer is "No," focus your time and energy on gaining clarity with questions one through three. Notice, are your answers focused on personal or collective gain? Both? As your answers become clear, questions four and five will come with greater ease.
I recently had a chance to experience the power of presence at a convention I attended. After delivering a remarkably impactful speech, Beverly stood beside the stage as dozens of people formed a line to talk with her.
Waiting for the line to die down, I sat off to the side for nearly sixty minutes, missing my next breakout session, as I watched her give each person her undivided attention until they were done. The number of people waiting to talk to her didn't seem to faze her, nor did she pay much attention as the hotel staff began clearing the room.
Beverly's presence was palpable and unattached to titles, recognition or gain of any sort. She was there to serve, and as a result, she continues to shine a light on others through her Presence.
Purpose-based leadership presence begins with your ability to be fully present with your own aspirations, disappointments, and inspirations. By putting your own oxygen mask on first (knowing your answers to questions one through three), you position yourself to be present with others as they do the same.
Here's to your greatness,
Misti Burmeister

After Koyasan, we decided to do a short stop at Himeji Jo, Japan's most impressive medieval castle and its first World Heritage listing, before reaching Hiroshima where we would stay for a day.
Himeji Jo
Himeji Jo is quite a sight from the outside but inside it was truly disappointing. Maybe we are just used to big and impressive castles in Europe, but I think it has more to do with how they present it rather than with the castle itself. There was no explanation about the main keep which was the highlight of the visit and it was completely empty: no fake weapons on the weapon racks, no samurai armor, no status representing the Daimyo, nothing. We were pressed like sardines up and down the 7 floors of the castle and even though you do have a nice view from up there, it's really not worth the hassle. And definitely not worth the 10 EUR we paid, which was the most expensive monument we have visited in Japan, and certainly not the most noteworthy.
Still, as I said, from the outside, it's really quite a sight, especially during sakura time, so I did take plenty of pictures. And I guess it's a sort of must-see on any tourist's list traveling between Osaka and Hiroshima.
It was much less interesting than Hiroshima Castle for example. From the inside you cannot really see the old wooden building because the atomic bomb blew everything away, but they reconstructed the castle in 1958 and it is now a museum explaining life in a castle and how Hiroshima evolved to be the city it is now. I learned more in 30min of visiting Hiroshima castle than I did in 3h at Himeji!
I really really liked the atmosphere in Hiroshima. You can feel you are in the South, people are much more relaxed here and there is something in the air that makes you feel good. I know it sounds strange, but I guess it's thanks to the hard work of the locals who have transformed this symbol of death into a city of peace and life.
The river banks are lovely for biking and we followed them this morning to arrive to the Hiroshima peace memorial and the dome which is the only building kept as it looked like after the blast. We rode our bikes through parks literally exploding with sakura, some of which were already loosing their flowers. Did you know why sakura (cherry blossoms) are the favorite flower of Japanese people? Because they are one of the few flowers to fall before they (fâne), and are the symbol of ephemeral beauty.
You can see some extraordinary sakura trees at Shukkeien garden, in addition to lots of cute bridges and pavilions.
Unfortunately we can't spend more time in Hiroshima. Now that I've been here, I know I will stay longer next time and visit the islands in front of the river delta, especially Miyajima and its famous tori in the sea.
And now is time for another epic travel to Kyushu to discover Japan's volcanoes and famed thermal baths in the mountains!

Dolphin Pen closes
Sutherland Says: `It Has Nothing To Do With St.
Do captured dolphins really help the tourism economy?
This is the question that environmentalists and Classic Tours
must be asking themselves this week.
The dolphin pen controversy simmered down over the last few weeks
after dominating the press and creating waves of bad publicity for
the project proponents, Classic Tours and Dolphin Fantaseas.
But just as things are getting quiet on the local front, there
are things happening regionally that could put another dent in the
argument that swimming with dolphins helps to boost the tourism
After a year of controversy the dolphin programme at Prospect
Reef Resort in the British Virgin Islands is shutting down. Four
dolphins from that project will be transferred to a new facility in
Dominica sometime in the next few weeks. The dolphins, Isla,
Jessica, Tracey and Kimbit should be in Dominica by early next
Manager of Dolphin Resorts, Ken Vaughan tried to downplay the
shutdown of the Virgin Islands operation, saying, "The dolphins were
here for a maximum stay of three years to begin with. Our facility
in Dominica was completed faster than expected, so we're going to
move them faster than we planned."
However, it is clear that Dolphin Fantaseas was trying to dig
deeper roots in the BVI when they invested so much money in dredging
a lagoon and building enclosure. It is also the first time that
Dolphin Resorts has ever indicated that the dolphin programme was
Vaughan maintained that the programme was not closed for
financial reasons but he did say that the program was not ideal for
the BVI.
"The swim programme might not fit in with cruise ship tourism,"
he said, "because there're thousands of people on those ships and we
only take 24 people a day."
Will this affect St. Lucia's decision about whether to grant
permission to build a dolphin facility at Tapion Bay? Local
environmentalists are hoping it will. They are still mounting public
awareness campaigns to drive their point home against dolphin
captivity. More internationally recognized environmentalists like
Rick Obary and Gwen McKenna joined the fray this week, stirring up
the controversy with articles attacking the notion that dolphin pens
are good for the economy.
Roger Sutherland, director of M&C, one of the three partners
in the venture, was more laid back in his reaction to the
environmentalists' sensationalism.
"I'm not going to get involved in the kind of debate where people
already have their minds set and there is nothing you can say to
them," he told THE MIRROR. "These people are paid
environmentalists," he said of Obary and McKenna. "They are bringing
out their big guns. But we are just a business and we made a
business proposal, applying to the DCA for permission and obeying
all the laws of the land."
As to how the failure of the dolphin programme in the BVI could
affect St. Lucia, Sutherland said, "It has nothing to do with St.
Lucia. Prospect Reef has their own problems, and St. Lucia is a
different market from the BVI."
Sutherland and his partners must be very keen to not raise any
more dust on this controversial issue. Controversy helped kill the
BVI programme. But with environmentalists picking up the pace of
their campaign, Classic Tours and Dolphin Fantaseas could see their
dream of a facility at Tapion Bay become unworkable, even if the DCA
grants them permission.

Chandler has been working SO hard in dental school. He studies late, gets up early, and still takes care of his prego wife! Recently his school had a "white coat" ceremony. Its basically a way to officially welcome the students to the profession... kind of confusing because they still have 4 years to go! But it was fun to see him up there and get excited for our future!!
I really am so proud of how hard my husband works for his family :)

The wild turkey is our most challenging and beautiful gamebird.
Native to many of the 50 states and introduced to others it is now
necesary for us to become aware of the wild turkeys' needs in order
to offset the loss of habitat caused by increased population and
mechanized agriculture. The turkey stands 3 feet tall, grows to twenty
pounds or more, and reflects every color in the rainbow in early morning
light. He is as tasty as he is cagey, as wise as he is beautiful, and
as hard to get close to as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
He has needs just like every other creature, and if we can meet his needs
we can continue to hunt turkeys and teach our kids to love them too.
Turkeys eat a wide range of foods including insects, seeds, grasses,
berries, legumes, acorns, beechnuts, chinkapins, dogwood berries, corn,
hickory nuts, oats, wheat, cowpeas, sorghums, soybeans, bahiagrass,
lespedeza, barley, and chufas. In order to increase population we must
produce more food in open clearings within the turkey's habitat.
Turkeys sometimes require drinking water, although morning dew and
the moisture of succulent vegetation takes care of most of their water
needs. In the arid parts of the turkey's range, however, shortage of
drinking water is an important limiting factor because succulent
vegetation is not abundant.
Turkeys will drink from windmill fed ponds or tanks if there is very
little human traffic. The third major requirement for turkey habitat is
lots of cover and roosting trees. A wild flock of turkeys will often
range over 5,000 to 12,000 acres. If we provide improved food, good
water, and cover, and roosting trees we may be able to keep a flock on
500 to 2,000 acres. Oak and mixed forests with tall oaks provide food
and roost for turkeys.
In meeting the turkeys' needs we find ourselves in the protection
business. We shall endeavor to protect against: (1) WATER SHORTAGE
Water supply is unique to every operation, but be aware that if
water is unavailable in severe drought, the flock will leave.
Protection from predators may include fencing out livestock.
Cows and hogs might compete for food sources, (hogs with acorns and
chufas) or destroy habitat, (cows love bahiagrass, and winter grains).
Domestic poultry or poultry manure should be kept from the turkey range
to prevent disease. Raccoons, skunks, and crows prey on turkey eggs.
Free running dogs may move "your" turkeys into the next county. Poachers,
of course, must be controlled or your efforts will be disapointing.
Protection from food shortage is sometimes posible by controlled burning
of undergrowth every third year. This may be done in January or February
(never during the spring nesting season). Lush new growth and a new insect
population will increase the food supply for turkeys and for quail.
Proper forest management is helpful in providing for turkeys. If
possible, stop all logging during the spring nesting season. When clearing
land for harvesting timber leave wild cherry, dogwood, beechwood, oaks,
chinkapins, palmettos, hickory trees, and some blackberry bushes for
food sources. However, to greatly increase the carying capacity of the
land we must plant food plots. These wildlife openings can be the
difference between success and failure in "holding turkeys" on or near
your land. And we believe WILKERSON WIL-GRO CHUAS are the best food crop.
It is a Spanish word meaning ground almond.
Ceperus esculentus, var.sativus, chufa, has also been called earth
almond, groundnut, tigernut, duck potato, and edible rush. We know
it to be a tuber that grows underground on the fibrous roots of a
nutsedge plant. These chufa tubers are used for seed to propagate
chufas, For many years chufas have been cultivated for food and drink
for men and hogs. In the last 30 years it has been realized that chufas
are an excellant winter food source for wild turkeys. The tubers
contain protein, carbohydrates, sugars, and lots of oil and fiber.
Chufas have been called the turkeys' ice cream plant!
Chufas are easy to grow and require almost the same care as corn.
We suggest that chufa plots be no less than 1 acre in size and preferably
2 to 5 acres each. Smaller plots are possible under some conditions. Very
small plots may be damaged or destroyed by coons, squirrels, crows, skunks,
deer. Deer and squirrels will eat the tubers if they are exposed. Raccoons,
crows, skunks will dig up young plants to eat the tubers. Plant plenty for
them all or check your state trapping laws for predator control.
To maintain healthy turkey flocks and deer herds we suggest you plant 5%
(5 acres per 100) of the total woodlands in food plots with 40% to one-half
being chufas, the remainder in winter grains and clovers.
When your acreage decision is made, order one bushel of chufa seeds (40 lbs.)
per acre. Brooks Hollemon recommends treating all seed with with STANLEY CRO-CHEX
before planting. This asphalt based compound keeps critters from digging
up your seed for food. Tehre are several different repellants on the market of
this nature, and they do pretty much the same job. Planting time must allow
90 to 100 days of frostfree growing time.
We plant chufas in northwest Florida from April to early August.
Earlier plantings seem to favor higher yields but require more cultivation or
chemical herbicide protection. Later plantings tend to last longer into the next
winter, which is what this is all about. You make the choce. (Some years,
the weather will make it for you!)
"New" land is best, but Treflan; either granular or liquid, and 2-4d should
allow you to control weeds even in old fields or other places where weeds
are a problem. (Be sure to read the label on the herbicide container and follow
instructions. YOU COULD KILL YOUR CHUFAS!!!) Chufas do best in sandy loam soils,
but they will grow in hardest clay (add some gypsum to loosen it) or sandy soils.
"BROADCAST" PLANTING....Chufas may be broadcast at 40 lbs/per acre on a
prepared and fertilized seedbed, (200-500 pounds per acre of 13-13-13) and disked
in to a seed depth of 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Set disk twice as deep as desired seed
depth. You may then topdress with ammonium nitrate at 6" to 12" plant height.
Chufas can be made to regenerate several years by applying fertilizer and disking
each spring. We know of one case where a good stand has persisted for 7 years
using this technique. The limit is usually 2 to 3 years. A rotation plan of planting
new plots each year and renovating old ones is best if enough land is available.
"ROW" PLANTING....We suggest you use peanut plates and plant 1-1/2" deep in
30" or 36" rows, and seed spaced 4-1/2" to 5" in the row. At planting time we suggest
200 to 500 pounds of 13-13-13 per acre depending on the fertility level of your soil.
Side dress at 6" to 12" plant height with 100 to 200 pounds per acre of ammonium nitrate.
In November when your chufa tops have died down, turn over a few clumps for your
turkeys to find or disk up the edges of your plot so that they can begin to enjoy their
winter food. After they have located the plot, they will scratch it up!
Turkeys today are found in State and Federal forests, game preserves,
commercial timberlands, and on private woodlands. Most turkey habitat
in the Southeastern United States is in private holdings. No matter
where the turkeys are, we should try to improve the carying capacity
of the land with food management plantings. As farmers and hunters we
can work toward improved turkey populations together. Clearing and
planting a chufa plot around a pond or creek might serve to feed
turkeys a year or two and start a wildlife opening in the woods that
could be alternatley planted to quail or deer food, such as browntop
millet or clover. Planted pines can become a "wildlife desert" if we
don't plant some chufas around the borders and some quail food in the
roads and openings. Fence rows that are "ROUNDUP CLEAN" are not able to
produce wildlife! Let's leave them bushy and maybe even plant a few rows
chufas on the edges and in the corners next to the woods. If we expect
turkeys to cross woven-wire fences we must put up poles for them to
jump on or they will not go over. Tie poles to top strands of the fence.
Power line right of ways can be used to grow tons of chufas for turkeys.
Logging roads or cleared strips of land can grow chufas if they receive
4 to 5 hours a day of direct sunlight.
The most important thing we can do to start is to educate the farmer
about turkeys. Give him a copy of this section, or all sections of the chufa
information on this site, or send him to this site on the web. Show him a copy
of Turkey Call magazine or your state's wildlife magazine. Why not even
encourage him to join the National Wild Turkey Federation? Go tell him he is
in a place where he can help turkeys and tell him you want to work with him.
As a turkey hunter you have often gotten some good advice: "DON'T MISS." Well
"DON'T MISS" with your farmer friends either. Three misses have hurt
farmer/hunter relationships and we can prevent them if we try.
(1) MISS UNDERSTANDING-- Don't let that farmer think that you are a
clod who only wants to get something for nothing and kill all his turkeys and
then laugh behind his back. That may have happened to him before. There are
hunters like that and they have helped to bring about those "No Tresspassing"
signs we see all too often. Begin building a friendship by offering to help
him to grow turkeys.
(2) MISS MANAGEMENT-- Ask your farmer friend how he wants you to use the
equipment you have. A fourwheel drive truck can start a gully that washes away
tons of topsoil if it is "MISMANAGED". Hear what he has to say about litter
and noise management, too. Your habits may be sins to him, and we want to
help provide for turkeys.
(3) MISS BEHAVIOR-- A farmer's land is his living and is much a part of
his life as his fireplace or dining table. We owe to him the respect of doing as
HE would do when we are there. If we can do that, the turkeys, and the hunters,
and will be better for it.
Perhaps your hunting club can lease some acres for game food plots. You
might provide chufa seed and fertilizer and help tend the plantings. Perhaps
you can help him with some land clearing for wildlife openings or a pond dam.
Maybe you can hunt on his land and pay a hunting fee for the privilege. Or
you might still find a farmer who would only like a mess of quail now and then
or a couple of rabbits when you kill some. He might even tell you to "just
stop and let me see that turkey on your way out".
When it comes time to do the actual planting of the game food plot you
may also enlist the help of the Boy Scouts, or 4-H, or The FFA. All of them
have game food plot projects (or might like to) and might love to get
involved and bust down some generation gaps and city/country barriers.
When your chufas are half gone, and your spring gobbler season is in,
please remember not to kill more than 1/3 of your fall flock population.
That means you get to go out and count them in the fall.
Many people especially for deer, ducks, dove, and quail. In order
for deer to learn that food is underground, one should turn over a few
bunches of chufas during the growing season, after the plants have started
to produce tubers. The deer will find these tubers and learn to dig for them
by winter. Ponds or impoundments that can be drained in sumer, planted
in chufas and flooded in winter make excellant duck habitat.
Smaller birds like dove and quail cannot eat the bigger chufa tubers
if the plant had adequate moisture during the growing season, but they
can handle the smaller tubers.
Chufas are planted especially for dove in areas that have high
populations of hogs, either wild or domestic (which can be turned in on
the chufa patch).
When the cold winter winds are blowing and you are betwen seasons and
need something to do, come back to this site and read it again. There
are probably a few things you haven't memorized and your tongue and your
wife are tired of you practicing with that mouth turkey call anyway. So
read this and plan your work and then work your plan.
Take that handful of chufas you saved just for that next person who said,
"What's a Chufa?" and eat one. Wow - that thing was good, wasn't it?.
Taste sort of like coconut, but kind of sweet. Now you see why turkeys like them and you might just want to plant a few in the garden to
have some around to nibble on and share. You already know how to grow them so we waon't go into that again.
Did you know you could make a bread out of chufas?
Grind them very fine in a blender and substitute for half the flour in any bread recipe.
You'll have fresh home made Chufa bread to eat with your next wild turkey.
You may gather and save your own seed by making a square or rectangular box of 2x4's
and put 1/4" hardware cloth on the bottom.Pull up your chufas and rub them on the screen to get the dirt off.
Sun dry your tubers to 12% moisture (wrinkled a little but still chewy) and store them
in a cool root cellar or refrigerator.
Three weeks under the wood cookstove, stirred daily, will dry them if it's rainy weather.
Store them away from mice, children, and Blue Jays until used.
Some folks presure cook them at 15lbs for 30 minutes and add a little salt.
Years back (and maybe soon again) folks planted an acre each year to fatten their hogs on.
It makes tasty pork but the lard doesn't harden. (This is a result of the unsaturated fat characteristic of Chufas.)
Some folks have said that their wild turkeys are darker, drier, and stringier than tame turkeys at the dinner table.
Feed them lots of chufas and harvest the tastiest birds the woods have ever made!!
Harvest the tubers at any time the ground is not frozen and it is easiest to collect from sandy soil which allows you to pull them up easily
and also allows the plant to produce numerous tubers. Clay soil tends to compact the roots and vastly reduce tuber production.
The tubers are great raw with a slightly almond-nutty flavor that I like in fresh salads.
You can also eat them boiled, candied dried and ground into a flour or as a coffee substitute.
For flour slowly dry the tubers until you can break them apart with your hands then grind or hammer lightly and process in a blender.
Use this flour half and half with regular flour in any recipe.
Chufa tubers are used as a beverage base for a Spanish drink called Horchata that is also made with rice.
Chufa has been used as a coffee substitute after roasting the tubers until dark brown and blending with other coffee buddies, chicory and cleavers.
Alone they have a taste that is not unpleasant but resembles nothing to coffee so blending it with other coffees works best.
For Candy
soak the Chufa tubers for 2 days in water and drain.
Put equal parts tubers, sugar and water in a sauce pan and simmer until the tubers are tender and clear looking.
Drain off syrup and let the tubers dry for one day then roll in sugar and store in the refrigerator until eaten.
Kids seem to love these little nibbles immensely.
Fried Bread
1 Cup Chufa flour
1 Cup Flour
3 t Baking powder
1/4 t Salt
The utmost care is taken during the growing, harvesting, drying, cleaning, and storage of these chufas to ensure
the highest possibe germination and viability
