PureGreen24 is truly the first ground-breaking approach to microbial control in almost four decades. This incredibly innovative disinfectant technology is based on a new patented molecule - silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC). This proprietary product contains a dual efficacy mechanism which promotes residual resistance to new "super strains" of microorganisms. PureGreen24 has a self-contained immunity protection system that not only provides long-term protection, but it continues to fight bacteria and dangerous mutant pathogens that conventional disinfectants on the market today can not.
PureGreen24 is based on PURE Bioscience's patented silver ion SDC technology. PureGreen24, when formulated as a disinfectant, is colorless, odorless and non-staining and is designed for use on hard, non-porous surfaces. How PureGreen24 Works - PureGreen24 kills microorganisms by two modes of action: 1. The silver ion deactivates structural and metabolic membrane proteins leading to microbial death 2. The microbes view PureGreen24 as a food source, allowing the silver ion to enter the microbe. Once inside the organism, the silver ion denatures the DNA, which halts the microbe's ability to replicate and leads to its death This dual action makes PureGreen24 highly and quickly effective against a broad spectrum of microbes.
PureGreen24 kills germs 20 times faster than traditional disinfectants. It kills many germs in just 30 seconds and "Super Bugs" like MRSA, CA-MRSA, PVL-MRSA, and VRE in just 2 minutes. Plus, when other disinfectants dry on the surface - they stop working. In contrast, PureGreen24 has residual efficacy that not only provides protection, but continues to kill bacteria for 24 hours.
PureGreen24 was specifically formulated for acute care hospitals, trauma centers, medical and dental offices, out- patient surgery centers, long-term care facilities, life science and research laboratories, veterinary hospitals, home healthcare, hospice centers, and child care operations. PureGreen24 is safe and effective to use in schools, prisons, athletic facilities and complexes, training and fitness centers, professional, collegiate, and high school sports facilities, physical therapy centers, cruise ships, airlines, railways, bus and municipal transit vehicles, day care and pre¬school facilities, churches, community centers and hundreds of other applications. PureGreen24 is strong enough for medical use, yet ideal for use around children in your home.
PureGreen24 is non-flammable, non-corrosive, odorless, colorless and has the lowest toxicity rating (IV) assigned by the EPA. There are no harsh chemical smells and no skin irritation that can be associated with other traditional disinfectants. The EPA does not require "Signal Words" or warnings for Category IV products but does have serious warnings for Category II Products. Category II products must be labeled with a number of the following warnings: Danger, Warning, Corrosive, Seek Medical Advice, may be fatal if absorbed through skin, may be fatal if inhaled, causes substantial but temporary eye injury and causes skin irritation. For more information about EPA toxicity ratings visit the EPA web site: Label Review Manual Chapter 7: Precautionary Statements. PureGreen24 is also safe on all hard surfaces, soft metals, plastic, granite, Plexiglas, carpeting, upholstery, and fabrics.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) treats disinfectants as pesticides and requires all disinfectants to be registered with the US EPA for sale in the United States. In addition, disinfectants must be registered in each state where the product is sold. PureGreen24 EPA registration number is 72977-3-85938, and is registered in all 50 states, Washington DC, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Yes, PureGreen24 is safe to use on children's toys and play surfaces, on sports equipment (helmets and pads), wrestling mats, locker rooms, field turf, training room tables and hydrotherapy equipment. No wiping required - just spray the surface and allow to dry. PureGreen24 will continue killing germs like MRSA for 24 hours. PureGreen24 is safe to use around humans, pets, and livestock.
Per the Clean Air Act, PureGreen24 does not contain any hazardous air pollutants, Class 1 Ozone depletors, or Class 2 Ozone depletors. None of the chemicals in PureGreen24 are listed as Hazardous Substances under the Clean Water Act (CWA), Priority Pollutants under the CWA, or Toxic Pollutants under the CWA.
It is our understanding that the EPA is in the process of creating a protocol or guidelines to measure the "Green" characteristics of registered disinfectants, however, as of today, the EPA has not developed a protocol to measure the environmental safety or so called "Green" qualities of EPA registered products. Companies who claim that their disinfectant has been certified "Green" by the EPA are providing false or misleading statements. By the same token, SDC Powered Formula is manufactured from silver ions and citric acid, both of which occur naturally in the environment. In addition, 99.967% (by weight) is composed of renewable raw materials (water and citric acid) and our manufacturing process produces zero discharge with no waste or byproducts. PureGreen24 has been assigned the lowest toxicity rating (Level IV) by the EPA. If water was rated, it would be assigned the same Level IV rating.
PureGreen24 is manufactured and bottled by our business partner, PURE Bioscience in El Cajon, CA. PURE Bioscience's manufacturing facilities are Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) certified for the production of pharmaceutical-grade SDC. cGMP (also referred to as 'GMP') is a term that is recognized worldwide for the control and management of manufacturing and quality control testing of foods and pharmaceutical products.
A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to an inventor or his assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for a disclosure of an invention. A patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention which must be new, inventive, unique, and useful or industrially applicable. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the right to prevent others from making, using, selling, or distributing the patented invention without permission. Under the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, patents should be available in WTO member states for any inventions, in all fields of technology, and the term of protection available should be minimum twenty years. Our business partner, PURE Bioscience, Inc, is the patent holder of PureGreen24's active ingredient Silver Dihydrogen Citrate (SDC) concentrate. PURE Bioscience is a NASDAQ publicly traded company that trades under the symbol of PURE and holds over 200 hundred SDC technology patents in over 70 countries around the world.
Yes, in fact, PureGreen24 kills both "Super Bugs" in just 2-minutes, whereas traditional germicidal product requires at least 10 minutes of contact time to kill these dangerous pathogens. Typically, disinfectant solutions will evaporate in less than 10 minutes which diminishes the efficacy of the product. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA or Staph) and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) are two of the most widespread antibiotic-resistant pathogens that cause hospital and community acquired infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), MRSA kills more than 19,000 people per year in the United States alone. PureGreen24 is effective against VRE and strains of MRSA including CA-MRSA (community-acquired MRSA) and PVL-MRSA (Panton - Valentine Leukocidin MRSA). PVL is a toxin, which destroys white blood cells, and can kill within 24 hours of reaching the lungs.
PureGreen24 will clean up water soluble spills such as coffee, juice, and cola, but is not formulated to clean up grease and grime. If a surface needs to be cleaned; a cleaning product should be applied first followed by PureGreen24 applied as a final disinfecting step. In order for PureGreen24 to penetrate the cell walls, attach to the microorganism's DNA and destroy it, it must be able to reach the cell. That process would be severely compromised if it had to first clean a film of bacon grease from the surface, for example. Use a suitable cleaner to adequately clean the surface and then PureGreen24 to rapidly kill the microorganisms and provide 24 more hours of protection.
Typically, a 32 oz ready-to-use spray bottle of PureGreen24 will disinfect nearly 100 square feet of area. In fact, one case of 32 oz spray bottles will cover nearly 12,000 square feet of surfaces.
First of all, many people typically do not know how to accurately measure dilutable disinfectants. Some people are not familiar with chemical use ratios or have a gallon container on hand to properly mix the correct amount of product with water. If too little product is added, and the disinfectant will not provide the efficacy... And if too much product is added, the product can leave a residue on the surface that eventually will create a "Biofilm†or breeding ground for bacteria. Conventional hospital grade disinfectants have been assigned toxicity ratings of Level I or II by the EPA. This is an indication that the product is corrosive, toxic, is not environmentally safe, can irritate your skin, eyes, and mucus membranes in the lungs and could be dangerous to your health. PureGreen24 has none of these disadvantages. There is no mixing. PureGreen24 has an EPA IV toxicity rating which is the lowest rating assigned by the Federal EPA (comparable to the rating of tap water); so no protective gear is required, no need to rinse, it does not damage fabrics or other materials, it may be applied in the presence of humans and animals, and there is no wasted product. Plus, PureGreen24 has the following advantages which include: its active ingredient, SDC, is EPA registered to kill CA-MRSA, kills faster than conventional products and offers a 24-hour residual bacterial kill.
Yes, PureGreen24 is the only EPA category IV, MRSA killing disinfectant listed. PureGreen24 is identified on the EPA list via the product name AXEN 30; EPA registration 72977.
Yes, independent test data and clinical studies are available upon request: Click on the contact section of our website and request this information. Please include your full contact details.
Although there are no specific dating codes, a safe estimate would be a shelf life of between 12-18 months.
It is important that PureGreen24 be stored only in opaque bottles (not transparent or translucent) due to the photo sensitivity of silver. Do not pour PureGreen24 from an opaque container into a clear or translucent container or spray bottle.
That is because unlike typical disinfectants in the market today, PureGreen24 is an antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral disinfectant that provides a rapid kill and keeps on killing bacteria for 24 hours after its initial application. PureGreen24 kills a broad spectrum of germs, bacteria, viruses and even "Super Bugs†like MRSA and VRE.
PureGreen24 is available in the following container and case sizes. 32 oz bottle. 12-32 oz spray bottles/case. 4 oz spray bottle. 48-4oz spray bottles/case. 1-gallon refill bottle. 4-1 gal bottles/case.
No. PureGreen24 is in a class by itself. It carries exclusive US and world-wide patents that set it aside from any other product in the market.
PureGreen24 continues to be effective after being exposed to temperatures ranging between 0-100C (-32F - 212F). It is recommended however that PureGreen24 be stored under normal office/household conditions. Freezing of the product may result in damage to the packaging during transit and should be avoided if possible.

You've decided that you want to apply for a personal loan. Maybe it's a loan to buy that new car, pay for a wedding, or refinance credit card debt.
Whatever the reason, it's important to make sure your financial house is in order first.
How to apply for a personal loan
Here is a list of what you should do beforehand, as well as what you need to have ready when it's time to apply for a personal loan.
1. Know what type of personal loan you need
Before applying for the loan, you should do some homework. Learn about who offers the type of loan, what the going interest rates are, and the general length of time it will take to pay the loan off based on the amount you plan to borrow.
Choices may include banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. Both local brick and mortar and online lenders are options.
2. Ask plenty of questions
When speaking with a prospective lender, be prepared to ask a lot of questions. A good motto: ask, don't assume.
Ask them about their application process. Make sure you understand what types of documents and information that they will be seeking from you. Understand any and all fees that you may incur. These might include origination fees or down payments.
3. Know what's on your credit report
It's important to check your credit reports before a prospective lender does (you can get yours for free at annualcreditreport.com) to avoid wasting your time applying for a loan for which you won't qualify.
You will want to understand what is on your reports and be prepared to address any adverse items. Even better, you will have the chance to fix any issues ahead of time.
Equally as important is to check your credit report for mistakes. If there is a negative item reported that's an error, you can contact the credit reporting agency to have it corrected. Even if this correction is not completed by the time the lender pulls your credit, you can show them the correspondence with the credit bureau and your efforts to have the situation corrected.
4. Have the documents required for loan approval ready
When it comes time to apply, you will need to be able to document your income, employment history, assets, any other debt you have, and other financial metrics they may request.
Most likely, you should have the following items handy:
- Recent income tax returns (generally two years)
- Recent pay stubs
- W-2 forms from the past two years
- A business financial statement and 1099 forms if you are self-employed
- A list of your assets and your liabilities, in short a personal financial statement
5. Be realistic about your situation
As with any financial transaction, you need to be realistic about your expectations. If your credit score is low or you have a spotty employment history, you might qualify for the loan you had in mind. You may be denied outright or the interest rate and terms may be less desirable.
In this case, you can look at options like a secured personal loan or even borrowing from a trusting family member. Other options here might include getting someone to cosign your loan or paying a much higher interest rate than you would like.
6. Keep an eye out for scams
Financial fraud and scammers are sadly all over the news today. Applying for a personal loan is no exception to this situation. There are any number of loan application scams, especially if your finances aren't in top shape.
With the advent of online lenders, you need to be careful to protect yourself from fraudsters posing as lenders. Be careful about sending any money for origination fees or supplying personal financial information that could be used to commit identity theft.
Applying for a personal loan is like anything else — be confident going into the process. However, If you don't receive a loan at terms that will work for you, or worse, if you feel that you are being taken advantage of, walk away from the process.
If you have a good credit score, earn a good salary, and pay your bills on time, you shouldn't have any problems convincing a personal loan lender to do business with you.
Applying for a personal loan is a business transaction just like any other. As such, you will want to be prepared. Do your homework and get the required information and documentation together before applying. Have a businesslike attitude and be confident when applying for your loan.

Liverpool news: James Milner predicts what would have happened if Brendan Rodgers stayed
LIVERPOOL star James Milner has insisted that Brendan Rodgers would have turned things around to get the Reds fully firing.
Liverpool sacked Rodgers in October 2015, despite the northern Irishman nearly guiding them to a first Premier League title a year before.
The Reds looked set to land the title in 2014, boasting a five-point lead with three games to go, but setbacks against Chelsea and Crystal Palace saw them miss out.
Liverpool are currently flourishing under Jurgen Klopp, with Rodgers going on to enjoy great success at Celtic.
And Milner insists Rodgers, who brought him to Merseyside from Premier League rivals Manchester City, would have turned things around had he remained at Anfield.
"My impression of him is that he's a very good manager; he was one of the main reasons I signed for Liverpool, in fact," he told the Times.
"It's a massive club and doesn't need too much selling but Brendan played a very big part when I made my decision.
"Liverpool's loss has been Celtic's gain, but we were lucky enough to bring in Jurgen Klopp after Brendan.
"He's another top manager, so it's worked out well for both clubs.
"Brendan did well at Anfield and he came so close to ending that long wait for the title."
Liverpool news: James Milner has praised Brendan Rodgers for his Anfield spell
"Would he have turned things round if he'd been given more time? I'm sure he would have done.
"You don't come as close as he did to winning the league without doing something right, but the club chose a different path."
Rodgers was devastated when Liverpool chose to sack him nearly three years ago.
Speaking last year, he revealed the full impact of the decision in a brutally honest interview.
"There was an incident when I left Liverpool and I went to Dubai a fortnight later," said Rodgers.
"I lay in fear one day thinking I was having a heart attack - maybe my mum's condition affected me because she died of one.
"I was rushed to hospital and basically it was a reaction my body and chest was having in starting to condition itself in terms of not having that pressure."
He then added: "That made me sit up and ask myself how do you manage pressure, how to regulate it.
"I needed to go and address it. I didn't I think at the time (of managing Liverpool) there was any more or less pressure because you are so ingrained in it."

Lynn Lake prides itself on being a trophy-fishing capital and anglers flock to provincial parks, rivers and lakes in and around towns across the North. Turnbull Lake is just four kilometres south of Leaf Rapids, and Leaf Lake is a mere 200 metres from town. The Pas has Clearwater Lake on its doorstep, and you can drop a line in the Saskatchewan River or head an hour or so north to Rocky Lake and Cormorant Lake. Wabowden residents just have to cross Hwy 6 to enjoy the pleasures of Setting Lake, and Thompson is minutes away from Paint Lake Provincial Park and other fishing hotspots.
Snow Lake offers easy road access to Snow, Wekusko, Herblett, Korman's, Tramping and Osborne lakes, and you can hike or ride an ATV to favoured fishing holes in every neck of the northern woods.
Join the fun at a fishing derby, enjoy peace and solitude at a quiet hike-in backwater or take advantage of services at a drive-in lodge such as Bakers Narrows Lodge near Flin Flon or Caribou Lodge Outfitters at Cranberry Portage. There's no shortage of fly-in lodges for those who want a more exclusive guided experience.
For complete information on fishing spots, rules and regulations, check out Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship's annual Anglers' Guide. It's available to download at www.manitobafisheries.com.
Fishing Licences & Regulations
You must have a Manitoba Angling Licence to fish in this province. Residents under 16 years of age and Status Indians are exempt. Annual fees for a conservation licence — which more strictly limits the number of some species you can catch — are $19.20 for Manitobans ages 16 – 64, free for Manitobans who are 65 and older, $28 for Canadian residents and $37.85 for nonresidents. Regular licences cost $25.10 for Manitobans, $47.65 for Canadian residents and $62.35 for non-residents.
You must carry your licence while fishing or risk a $175 fine. The fine for fishing without a licence is $300.
Licences are sold at hardware and sporting goods stores, fishing centres and lodges and can be ordered by phone — call 1-800-214-6497 — or by mail from Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship at 200 Saulteaux Cres., Winnipeg, Man., R3J 3W3.

Do you watch Elementary with Lucy Liu? Well, it's one of my favourite telly series and not only for the super cool crime-fighting duo, but also because of Watson's impeccable tomboyish style. That girl always looks effortlessly stylish in my opinion.
Anyway, recently she started to wear beautifully masculine bow ties that I've been meaning to try myself. So the other day, I went on a little snoop around and I found Brittni's awesome bow tie tutorial that I must try. Those sassy bow ties above only require a bit of fabric, no real crafting skills and a sewing machine. That is all!
I'm in love with the red-velvet beauty. You?
P.S: Also, my go-to hair tweak (that involves a black ribbon).
P.P.S: Plus, two snazzy ways to tie your scarf.

I want to share a recent personal experience with you in hope of using it as an illustration for this message.
Last week prior to teaching a Tuesday evening Discipleship class at the church I had the opportunity to speak with several of the members of the class. It was mostly small talk and pleasantries except for one person.
The gentlemen whose conversation stood out is a faithful volunteer at the church, he is consistently helping in many areas and ministries. In fact, we auditioned to be members of the choir together. We are both volunteers; we just serve in different areas of the ministry.
I had not seen him in class for a week or so and asked how he was doing. He mentioned that he was doing well but that he had fallen behind in the homework for the class because of a recent change in his living situation; he no longer had a place to live and was temporarily living out of his car. I told him that he could catch-up on the class work and that it would not be a problem. The "homeless" statement really did not hit me at that moment. This conversation took place about 2 minutes prior to class. In 2 minutes I had to start teaching the lessons for the week.
Two hours later class was over and the conversation I had with him was completely out of my mind. Two hours after that I was home and in bed. Two hours after that God wakes me up and begins dealing with me concerning helping this gentleman financially. The amount the Lord laid on my heart was more than I was expecting but yet it was an amount that would make an impact and be able to really help. So, the next day on my lunch break I went and secured the funds and during that evening's service I was able to give them directly to this gentleman.
He was thankful, I was thankful and I was humbled to be able to help and it felt great to be a blessing to a brother in Christ. It truly felt like living the gospel.
This action got me stirred up and got me thinking about the Good Samaritan. How many times do we walk past people truly in need without sharing the love of Christ through concrete actions that make an immediate difference in people's lives?
The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
Jesus replied with a story: "A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.
"By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side.
"Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, 'Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I'll pay you the next time I'm here.'
"Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?" Jesus asked.
The man replied, "The one who showed him mercy."
Then Jesus said, "Yes, now go and do the same." (Luke 10:29-37 NLT)
I know that our works or deeds do not save us. I know we are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I also know that we were born again and filled with the Spirit of God so that we might perform the works of Jesus Christ in the earth. We are the body of Christ, representing our Lord, ambassadors of His heavenly kingdom.
The Apostle James teaches us that because we have faith in Christ we are moved to action and that our actions are evidence for the faith that we possess. He digs deeper and proclaims that faith without corresponding action is "Dead" or useless.
This can apply to so many different areas of our lives but it goes to illustrate the point I am hoping to make in this brief message. I am hoping to communicate that following Christ means actively helping people with the problems facing their lives, spiritually, emotionally, financially and naturally. We are called to make a difference in every arena. The Apostle James said it this way:
Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, "Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well"—but then you don't give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? (James 2:15-16 NLT)
Dr. Lester Sumrall said, "Empty bellies have no ears".
We are called to pray. We are called to preach. We are called to give. We are called to do. We cannot choose only one of these. Jesus did not choose one, He continuously gave all that He was and all that He had and we are called to be like our Savior.
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. (Hebrews 10:24 NLT)
God will never ask us for what we do not have. I have personally found that He will frequently ask us for more than we feel comfortable doing or comfortable giving. I have also found that when I am obedient to give and do more than I originally felt comfortable giving or doing that God always blesses me abundantly. He has given us the time, talent, treasure, gifts, resources, etc. because He wants to use them not only in our lives but to be a blessing to the body of Christ and to people of this world.
My encouragement to you is do let your faith propel you into action. Open your eyes. Open your ears. Open your heart. Open your mouth. Open your wallet. Begin to share the love of Christ in concrete, tangible ways. Help hurting people. Let's do more than tell people that Jesus loves them. Let's show them that Jesus loves them and that we do too.
So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith. (Galatians 6:9-10 NLT)

If you are an adult who is saddled with dental anxiety because of a stressful experience as a child, you know the impact it has on your life. You may skip routine appointments and your oral health inevitably suffers.
Tips for a Positive Experience
At Bethlehem Town Family Dental, we believe every child deserves a life free of dental anxiety. We create positive experiences for children every day, and we have a few insights about what you can do as a parent to support our efforts.
- Ask Us about "Happy Visits":These low-key visits are meant to gradually introduce your child to the dental experience. Kids react to stress in unfamiliar circumstances just as adults do. We recommend these appointments take place around age one. Your child will meet Dr. Henry and our team and get used to the sights and sounds of a dental office. These experiences will help your child understand they're in a safe place and there's nothing to fear.
- Keep Negative Feelings to Yourself: If you have dental anxiety, you know what a burden it can be. But you have the opportunity to help your child avoid the same fate by putting a positive spin on dentistry. Kids absorb everything you say like a sponge, so be sure to keep your negative feelings to yourself.
- Find a Dentist Experienced in Treating Children: Children DO require extra patience and compassion, so it's best to find a dentist who has treated children successfully. We offer safe, gentle nitrous oxide sedation that allows your child to comfortably get the care they need and leave the office with a good feeling about their visit.
Call Us to Arrange Your Child's First Visit
If your child is ready for their first visit, please call Bethlehem Town Family Dental. We will show you that children's dentistry in Glenmont, NY really can be an enjoyable adventure!

This question was asked during the webinar on "The Increasing Threat of Canine Leptospirosis ...":
How high should one's index of suspicion be in currently vaccinated animals?
Answer provided by Dr. Jason Stull & Dr. Michelle Evason:
Studies suggest leptospirosis vaccination will greatly reduce the chance and severity of disease, but not completely prevent disease in all dogs. As the current vaccines cover 4 of the common ~7 serovars affecting dogs, leptospirosis still needs to be considered for a properly vaccinated dog. The frequency that a clinic will see clinical leptospirosis in vaccinated dogs will, at least in part, depend on how frequently these other serovars not included in the vaccine are circulating in your region. Unfortunately, such data are not available; however, a clinic may be able to get a good feel for this by performing a quick scan of clinic records. A reliable estimate of the percentage of dogs a clinic has diagnosed with leptospirosis (say over the past 1-2 years) that were properly vaccinated at time of diagnosis will give a good feel for this issue in your area.

Published December 11, 2014
By Jordan Yarbourgh, The Belton Journal
AWARE Central Texas is hosting their 8th annual Christmas at the Farm event this upcoming weekend.
It will be held at the Bell County Expo Center on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., where everyone is welcome to come participate in on the fun.
A volunteer for AWARE came up with the idea of Christmas on the Farm to help raise money for the organization, which works toward to prevention of child abuse and neglect and family violence. They also wanted the kids to experience what farm life was like while also having fun with the event.
Despite the small size of the agency, there are locations scattered all throughout Central Texas and it's still growing.
To help the growth of the organization and to provide a little holiday fun for the families in the area, AWARE ran with the idea of Christmas on the Farm. All the proceeds from the event go straight towards funding classes to help children in those violent situations.
The classes teach parents how to treat their kids correctly, give advice on not taking out their anger on their children and help them raise a family in a better environment.
The event has become more successful in the past years and there are now about forty activities for families and children to enjoy. Some of the activities include hay rides, a hay maze, stocking decorating, stick horse races, pedal tractor races and quizzes for the parents.
The event takes months to prepare for, but with the help of volunteers, the Belton Kiwanis Club, a high school group that even raised more money outside of the event, and other groups in the area, it makes it a lot easier to plan.
Along with the fun things to do for the kids, there is also a bake sale, a puppet show, book readings and some local entertainment so people can dance. A beauty school is also coming to help put bows in girls' hair.
"It's really a fun event," Harriet Brodie, who works on commercial sponsors for the event, said. "One of the things that struck me the first time I ever went was how much the attitude is really about the children. That part just really touches me."
Mr. and Mrs. Claus will be making their appearance at Christmas on the Farm for pictures. A common crowd pleaser at the event is a man who comes dressed up as the Grinch. While he walks around the event, kids can go up and hug him and take pictures with him.
Brodie said the man made his own costume and that he looks forward to coming back each year and making the children happy.
"It's just innocent fun," Brodie said. "That's the only way I know how to put it. It's an experience to be had, I think. This event is really unique and I'm really proud of what it has become."

Bollinger is auctioning a super-rare, 102-year-old bottle of champagne
[AY,FRANCE] Finding a hidden cellar filled with early 19th century bottles of wine is the kind of thing that happens in movies but not real life.
And yet, according to Bollinger, the iconic, 187-year-old Champagne house, that's exactly what happened.
Six years ago, an intern was cleaning a dusty corner of the company's labyrinthine cellar, when he removed a few rows of empty bottles from a rack that was blocking a dark archway. Little did he know that he'd reveal a secret room filled with 600 vintage cuvées-all from the early 19th century to 1939.
Now, on Nov 19, Sotheby's New York will auction a collection of those extraordinary bottles during its first-ever stateside release of Bollinger vintages. The highlight of the sale? A 102-year-old bottle found in the secret room, whose bid price will start at US$10,000.
Gauging from comparable auctions, it'll go for a whole lot more: In 2013 a two-bottle lot of Moet & Chandon 1914 vintage sold for US$16,620; and just last year, a tasting experience of 1915 Krug was sold for US$116,375.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at email@example.com
Like the 1915 Krug auction, the winner of the 1914 Bollinger will win an entire vacation-designed entirely to maximise their enjoyment of the rare bubbly.
First, Champagne Bollinger will open its doors to the winner for a rare tour of the winery and the Galerie 1829 Champagne library. Then the winery will host a private tasting of the 1914 vintage with Bollinger Cellar Master Gilles Descôtes.
The winner will stay at the legendary five-star hotel Château Les Crayères, in Reims, and dine with the president of Champagne Bollinger, Jérôme Philipon, at the hotel's ambitious French restaurant, Le Parc.
But the experience isn't the only thing up for sale.
The auction, "A Century of Champagne Bollinger," will also include six rare lots of Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises ranging from 1988 to 2002-all harvested from the Champagne region's only vineyard resistant to phylloxera, the insect that destroyed many of the vineyards in France in the mid-19th century.
Rounding out the sale is a range of eight-year-old Bollinger R D Special Cuvée and nonvintage Special Cuvée, available in a variety of bottle sizes from half-bottle to nebuchadnezzar-perfect if you're looking for an extra-celebratory bottle of Bolly.
According to the historians at Champagne Bollinger, the bottles were likely stashed at the beginning of World War II to avoid German pillaging, a common practice for anxious winemakers.
Many wineries and Champagne houses unearthed hidden rooms of wine in the years immediately following the war, but the 2010 discovery in the Bollinger cellars was the first of its kind in decades.
In total, 600 bottles were discovered ranging in age from 1830, the year after the winery's start, to 1939, the beginning of World War II.
But the wines' discovery was only half the mystery: It also took the winemakers on site years to figure out what, exactly, they had on their hands. The bottles were coded in an abandoned system of numbers and letters that identified the village of each wine and its vintage.
In fact, the winemakers had to dig deep into the archival records to crack the code of how the bottles were labeled-sorting through years of ledgers and winemaking records from the 19th century.
Although the majority of the bottles have been identified, there's still a small selection of bottles that remain a mystery, even to the Bollinger historians, who have not yet been able to find documentation linking the codes to the wines' vinification.
Common convention says to drink Champagne as soon as possible after its release. But in the last 10 years, wine collectors have realised that Champagnes can age quite gracefully.
"There used to be a small number of connoisseurs who knew that great Champagnes could age, take on complexity, and become multilayered over time," says Jamie Ritchie, the worldwide head of Sotheby's Wine.
"It used to be a secret amongst collectors and connoisseurs."
Demand for these antique bottles-Bollinger tends to top out at 30 years-has been climbing in the last two to three years, driven by the US and Asian markets.
The Bollinger wines should be no exception. Because they were stored in the company's cellars for the last 90 years, they have been preserved in their optimal climate, and roughly half of them were determined to be in wonderful condition.
To ensure their continued longevity, the bottles were all restored over the course of three years-a process in which the winemakers meticulously cataloged, pressure-tested, and recorked a total of 4,000 bottles.
Bollinger is famously private about its cellars-when I visited in June, it took a private invitation from Champagne Bollinger to get inside. (The winery is most likely to open its doors if you have a direct line in from a collector or a sommelier with a relationship with the brand.)
The exclusive tour started with a winding stone staircase that descends over 100 feet into the earth, and into the never-ending maze of Champagne caves that were once used as air-raid shelters and hospitals during the war.
The arched tunnels are lined with massive walls of magnums filled with aging Champagne, with the occasional "road sign" or scribble of graffiti carved into the stone.
The highlight of a visit to Champagne Bollinger is the newly constructed Champagne library, called Galerie 1829, where the secret stash now lives.
It's a space for looking more than tasting-a museum of wine, if you will, where bottles are identified with handwritten labels and showcased in minimalist, dimly lit concrete cabinets.
When I visited this past June, the Bollinger team was still giddy about the library's opening, and many called the process of building it a "project of a lifetime".
The 1914 is historically an extraordinary vintage-the weather was perfect for winemaking, but France had far greater concerns with the onset of World War I, which had been declared by Germany that August.
By the time harvest rolled around in late September, the men of Champagne were on the battlefield and away from their vines.
Cyril Delarue, the head of US marketing for Bollinger and a nephew of Madame Bollinger, explained that it was "the women (who) had to take care of the harvest, the winemaking, bottling … everything".
Considering the circumstances-and the intervening years-it's a wonder that the 1914 vintage still makes for such an incredible drinking experience.
During a recent tasting, I was impressed with its sweetness and the structure of the 102- year-old liquid-it was nearly impossible to guess that the wine was over a century old.
Despite its age, the amber-tinted wine is incredibly fresh and full of flavour, with the sweet aromas of dried fruit, candied lemons, and toasted oak with a light herbal note.
On the palate it's sweet with a subtle effervescence, as many of the bubbles have disappeared over time. The wine is smooth and silky with fruit-forward flavors of pineapple and apple. It is, quite simply, sublime.
It's humbling to imagine what these wines survived over the last 100 years, and what life must have been like when the 1914 was made.
"Every time I open an old bottle, I am shaking," Mr Delarue explains, "because the people that made this wine are not here anymore. … It always is a true experience".
For his part, Sotheby's Mr Ritchie can't recall the last time auctioneers had access to such a collection as this.
"We've seen Champagne found in shipwrecks and things like that," he said, "but nothing like this coming directly from the producer".

I decided to build myself this Satellite Antenna as described by XE1MEX.
This "Bow and Arrow" shoots straight! Ask the birds up there, they will confirm it!
There has been continued activity on AO-51 in South Africa and the list of stations operational on this satellite is increasing daily. I had a very primitive satellite antenna setup at this QTH for satellite working. My outgoing signal was good but I had very bad reception. It was time to build a new antenna system that would solve this problem. I did not want to build a very elaborate fixed satellite antenna system and was looking for something simple, effective and portable. I looked at different designs and decided that the antenna must have the following criteria:
1. Portable Handheld Yagi.
2. Frequency 145/437 Mhz.
3. Mountable on a Camera Tripod.
4. Used for ground wave communications.
5. 10 watt maximum power output.
6. Elements made from aluminum that is locally available.
7. Must be sturdy and strong.
8. Must be mounted outside temporary or permanent.
9. Must be easy to construct and to tune.
10. Must be a homebrew project. ( I hate to buy when I can build!)
I finally decide to design the "Bow" and "Arrow" Antenna deprived from the Yagi-Uda Antenna described by XE1MEX. Although similar the matching stubs and mounting of the elements on my version differs considerable from the XE1MEX design. More later about the gamma matches and mounting of the elements. The name given to the version I build was deprived from the fact that the antenna looks like a high-tech "bow" and "arrow" from outer-space. Enough said lets go to the construction side of the antenna.
Construction Details:
All dimensions are in millimeters and all elements are made of aluminum pipe that is locally available in South Africa at your hardware store. I used what I had on hand and constructed the antenna from surplus aluminum left over from a 10 element 2 Meter Yagi I constructed recently. Please note that if you use the same material I used you will have to excercise you biceps and arms muscles for portable work as this antenna is quite heavy. If you use different material you will have to re-calculate the elements and boom diameters.
Dimensions of the Antenna:
- Center VHF frequency = 145.850 Mhz
- Center UHF frequency = 436.800 Mhz
- Number of elements: UHF = 8 (10.5 dBd gain), VHF = 4 (6.46 dBd gain)
- Boom diameter = 25mm Square Tubing
- Elements and gamma pipe diameter = 10mm
- VHF elements lengths = R – 1017mm, D – 972mm, D1 – 917mm, D2 – 906mm
- VHF elements spacing = R to D = 380mm, D to D1 = 162mm, D1 to D2 = 370mm
- UHF elements lengths = R = 349mm, D = 325mm, D1 = 303mm, D2 = 298mm, D3 = 292mm, D4 = 287mm, D5 = 285mm, D6 = 282mm.
- UHF elements spacing = R to D = 127mm, D to D1 = 54mm, D1 to D2 = 123mm, D2 to D3 = 148mm, D3 to D4 = 173mm, D4 to D5 = 193mm, D5 to D6 = 207mm.
D = Driven
D1 to D6 = Directors
I mounted the reflector, driven and directors through the boom by drilling 10mm holes in the centre of the boom. I used stainless steel self tapping screws to mount the elements to the boom. I used this method in the past, when constructing 145 Mhz and 433Mhz antennas.
Hardware List:
12 x 22mm x 5mm Stainless Steel Self tapping Screws
4 x 15mm x 3mm Stainless Steel Self tapping Screws
6 x 35mm x 4 mm Stainless Steel Machine Type Bolts
6 x 4mm Machine Type Nuts
6 x 4mm Stainless Steel Washers (plain)
6 x 4mm Stainless Steel Spring Washers
2 x SO239 Sockets (BNC advised but I used what I had on hand)
1 x 100mm Angle Aluminum for SO239's
1 x 120mm x 15mm Aluminum Square Tubing for Gamma Match
1 x 300mm RG213 Inner core Cable for Gamma Match
26 X 10mm Plastic Caps to fit over 10mm elements
1 x 300mm x 20mm PVC Electric Conduit
1 x Wooden dowel that fits snugly into the PVC Electric Conduit
1 x 40mm PVC End Cap
1 x 1300mm x 25mm x 25mm Aluminum Square Tubing (Boom)
6633mm x 10mm Aluminum Pipe or Elements and Gamma Match
1 x 25mm x 25mm Plastic End Cap to fit over or into the Boom.
I start off with measuring the boom length, marking the element placements and center punching the spot were the holes will be drilled for the elements. One word of advice, never drill through both sides of the boom at once. First drill one side then the other side. This will ensure a centre hole on both sides. After measuring and punching I drill the holes, first with a pilot drill (4mm) and then with the correct size (10mm) to fit the elements. I start with the 70 CM side and then move to the 2M side.
I have used normal SO239 connectors and RG58U (Mil Spec) cable as the distance between the radio and antenna is less than 2 meters. However if you want to use this antenna as a fixed antenna I would advise the use of proper co-ax cable and connectors, normally used for satellite work. I have used this gamma match with several of my homebrew antennas and only had good results. To install the gamma match I strongly advise you to look at the close-up photo of the two gamma matches. However to assist you further, I have drawn a schematic diagram indicating the necessary placement of components for the gamma-matches. Make notes about the construction of the gamma match as you will again make one in my Dip-Yag Antenna Project to be displayed later on these pages.
Data of the Gamma Match:
- VHF: Gamma aluminum pipe length = 150 mm, total bare coax length = 150 mm, bare coax length into the alu pipe = 140mm, 15mm Square tubing shorting bar placed at 95 mm from the side of the boom, separation between gamma "rod" and driven element = 40 mm (center to center)
- UHF: Gamma aluminum pipe length = 80mm, total bare coax length = 80mm, bare coax length into the alu pipe = 50mm , 15mm Square tubing shorting bar placed at 30mm from the side of the boom, separation between gamma "rod" and driven element = 20mm (center to center)
These dimensions and type of gamma match resulted in an SWR of 1:1 on 70CM's and 1.2:1 on 2M's on the center frequencies and 1:3 on 70CM's and 1.5:1 on 2M's in the band edges.
Finally: I worked several stations on A0-51 and AO-16. This antenna really performs well and is a real asset to my antenna arsenal. Build one and you will really experience a great "little" antenna for Sat-Operations.

I received e-mails relating to this antenna. For the benefit of our readers I have decided to display the questions and answers here. Reports, photos and suggestions of your experience with the "Bow and Arrow" Antenna is most welcome. Send your comments to: email@example.com.
25 years ago I had commercial cross yagis for both 2m and 70cms mounted on one boom with elevatror etc. There were just a few stations to be heard, that was using Oscar 10 mostly. I got rid of the equipment and now would love to have it back. Too late……..
I have some 20mm square tubing and thought of using brazing rid (3mm) or about 6mm tubing for the elements. Where could I find the calculator to give me the optimal spacing? The XE site caters for a folded dipole for driven element.
When you have a moment please share your thoughts with me on the subject.
God Bless Harry ZS5H
Thank you very much for your email and interest in my web-pages. From
the outset I must inform you that I am not an expert in many fields of
Amateur Radio however I do have the will to learn more every day.
Harry, the satellite antenna described by me works great. I am however
of the opinion that if one deviate from the sizes and measurements, you
could comprimize on the performance of the antenna. However it is
possible to use other materials if you compensate correctly for the
sizes. As they say if you do not try you will never know if it will
work . I used the material on hand at the time.
Attach find a calculating program for the Yagi-Uda design. Maybe it
could be of some help. I cannot vouch for its effectiveness. Looking
at your age I am convinced that you will come up with a effective sat
antenna as you are from the old school. At a mere 46 I am still a
youngster. Looking forward to hear you on the sats and to make a
satellite contact with you. Keep up the good spirit!!
I am going to build the bow and arrow this weekend. I will getting all the materials this afternoon. Just a quick question regarding the coax for the gamma match. Does it have to be 213 or will LMR400 do the trick. This is the only coax i have in the shack, and would like to use it up for this project rather than try find some 213.. also if i where to use thinner material, say a 15mm boom with 6mm round tubing, how would i calculate the lengths for the elements given the new dimensions?
Rory, the satellite antenna described by me works great. I am however
of the opinion that if one deviate from the sizes and measurements, you
will comprimize on the performance of the antenna unless you compensate
accordingly. However it is possible to use other materials if you compensate
correctly for the sizes. As they say if you do not try you will never know if it will
work . I used the material on hand at the time.
I am of the opinion that you can use the inside of LMR400 instead of the
RG213. Should not have any effect on the capacitance side of things. You
might find that the LMR400 might not fit into the 10mm Aluminium tube.
You can just trim the isolation as described om my web-page. Please
note you must not remove the copper coating on the LMR400 as the
inner wire is aluminum and will be difficult to solder.
Attach find a calculating program for the Yagi-Uda design. Maybe it
could be of some help. I cannot vouch for its effectiveness as I
have not used it in the design of this antenna. I used the material on
hand at the time and the proof is in the "pudding".
It works!!
Hope to work you soon on AO-51.
I have been successfully using this antenna since 28 February 2008 and it is a real pleasure to use. The only drawback is that it is getting very cold in the evenings to do portable satellite work. But what must be done must be done! I have worked many stations with this antenna and must still find a portable antenna with the same or better performance.
Tests: 6 June 2008:
Myself and Johan ZS2I setup station on a high point in Mossel Bay with an open horizon to the North and the South. We used the old faithful "Bow and Arrow" Hybrid Antenna connected to two Jingtong handhelds. The aim of the tests were to calculate the workable fixed elevation with a fairly reasonable pass. between 10 and 40 degrees. We used a GPS to determine North and Orbitron for the pass prediction. The antenna was clamped into a vice at 30 degrees on a 1 meter upright stool and fixed onto the direction that the satellite will make it's first appearance above the Northern horizon. The satellite moved from North to South at 30 degrees in a Westerly direction. At 5 degrees above the horizon the first carrier was heard. Hal was contacted at 11 degrees. Contact was made with Roy at 15 degrees above the horizon. The satellite were followed by only using an azimuth "armstrong rotator".
Once again many thanks to Hal ZS6WB and Roy ZS6MI and also to any other station who allowed us to do the tests.
This antenna works and the proof is in the pudding with many contacts confirmed on AO51.
Johan ZS2I constructed the "Bow and Arrow" Antenna. He however used a different approach all together with the gamma matching. To curb the use of connectors and possible losses he decided to connect the coax cable directly to the antenna. This was clevely done with teflon stand-offs. Both the 2M and 70CM matching stubs were connected with the inner of the cable to the gamma match while the braid goes directly to the boom. The antenna will be mounted at an angle of 30 degrees upwards with 15 degrees to the left.

Pirelli have confirmed which tyre compounds the Formula One teams will have at their disposal for the races in Japan, Korea and India.
With the Italian tyre manufacturer having knowledge of all three circuits from last season, the combinations will not come as any surprise to the Formula One teams in the paddock, with just one slight alteration for Japan.
For the race at Suzuka, Pirelli have opted to have a jump in compounds with the P Zero Yellow soft tyre partnered with the P Zero Silver hard tyre, this combination will also be used in India and is a combination previously used in Spain and Britain.
For the Korean Grand Prix, teams will have the P Zero Red super-soft tyre and the P Zero Yellow soft tyre. This combination will also be used in Singapore and was last used at Monte Carlo and Montreal.
Despite the less frequent discussion over the tyres this season, the Pirelli compound choices still hold an important part of the mechanics of a great race weekend, with the teams desperate to understand the tyres and the conditions to enable them to find the 'sweet spot'.
If teams can tune in their cars to the tyres they can find a massive advantage over their rivals, just like Sergio Perez found in the closing stages of the Italian Grand Prix.
Having only made one pit-stop during the race, Perez ended up on the perfect tyre at the perfect moment, which enabled him to set times 1.5 to 2 seconds a lap faster than his rivals getting him past both Ferrari's of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso to finish 2nd after starting down in 12th.

Yeah, I'm sick. I left work in the middle of the day yesterday, which I never do, but staying upright was becoming a challenge. I came home, had some soup, and went to bed. But not before telling Luau at least twelve times that I felt like crap. And that my throat hurt. A lot. And that it felt like I was swallowing sandpaper. And that I really, really didn't want to be sick.
Yeah, I was just a barrel of monkeys.
For the past few days I'd been worried about Brooke. Out of the blue, she'd insisted on sleeping on her floor. Despite the fact that she adores her bed – like seriously ADORES being in her bed, she wouldn't go near it at bedtime. She took her "guys" along with her blankets, pillows, and some of the various and sundry other items that adorn her bed and set them up on the floor. When I asked her why, she offered up the very illuminating, "I don't know."
But despite not being able to communicate a lot about how she's feeling, my kid is far more self-aware than her ability to describe that self-awareness might lead one to believe. So when she drags her stuff onto the floor to sleep, I start playing detective. You see, if we really believe that all behavior is communication, as I whole-heartedly do, then we spend some time as Encyclopedia Brown to find out what exactly the behavior in question is meant to communicate. And when a kid with a seizure disorder eschews her bed for the floor, well, yeah.
I called Luau on Tuesday from work. I began the conversation with, "Hon, I need to say something and I know it's going to sound a little crazy, but I need you to bear with me, k?"
He's been married to me for a long time. Long enough to think, "Honey, that pretty much describes 90% of our interactions," and also long enough not to say it out loud. Instead he said, "Of course, what's up?"
When Katie was a baby, her ear smelled funny to me one night. I didn't know what it was, all I knew was that it felt "wrong." At my insistence, Luau took her into the pediatrician's office the next day. When he got to the exam room, the nurse practitioner, a lovely middle-aged woman who had raised three kids of her own, asked why they were there. Upon his own admission, he rolled his eyes and could barely keep from laughing as he said, "My wife says her ear smells funny." The nurse checked her out and said, "Your daughter has an ear infection. Tell your wife she's got a good nose." He never laughed nor rolled his eyes at my Mama gut again.
So I told him that I had a weird feeling – that I felt like something was going on with Brooke. That the sleeping on the floor had started it, but that there was something else — something that I couldn't put my finger on, but that just didn't feel right. I told him that I'd had a vision of getting a call from the school telling us that she'd had a seizure in the middle of the day. That I saw myself running out of the office to get to her. I told him that I just needed him to know. To be extra vigilant. To make sure she wasn't alone, even in the house, for long periods of time. He promised.
That evening, when I came home from work, I posted the following.
My kid was in her nightgown at 5pm. Exhausted. Something wasn't right. And as amazingly wonderful as her response to "How are you feeling?" was, it gave me no insight into how she was actually feeling. I mean, except for love, which is awesome. But, yeah.
Although my throat had been bugging me for a couple of days, it wasn't until I hit the wall yesterday that I realized that I was actually sick. And it wasn't until sometime later that afternoon that I began to put the pieces together fully. There I was, in bed, in the middle of the day, just like Brooke had been the day before. So perhaps she had been struggling through a low-grade version of what I've got (or a high-grade version and she's just a lot more resilient than her Mama, which is highly probable.). Of course none of this explains the sleeping on the floor bit, so it's still possible that there was indeed increased seizure activity, perhaps due to the illness, but either way, it all felt a little less sinister.
Anyway, my point in all of this comes back to where I started. Yesterday afternoon, I went to bed after a good ten minutes of bitching to Luau about how I felt. And being able to do that helped. It just did. Being able to say, "Grrr, I feel like crap," helped. Hearing, "Oh man, I'm so sorry you feel that way," somehow made it just a little easier to feel that way.
Knowing that if I need to, I can go to the doctor and tell him or her exactly what I'm feeling so that s/he can diagnose it and get me the treatment I need, helps.
My girl can't do that.
And that scares me.
Both practically and emotionally, it scares me.
Thinking about how I would feel if I couldn't tell anyone what was going on inside my body scares me. Thinking about how I would have felt at work if I had no way to explain why I needed to leave terrifies me. I don't have a better word than claustrophobic. That's how it makes me feel just to think about not being able to tell anyone what I'm feeling — trapped.
I have no way to wrap this up and I've pretty much exhausted the energy that I had for the day writing what I already have.
I guess I just wish that Katie's magic wand could help us out with this one too.
In the meantime, I'm going back to bed.

Two of Hearts
Friends and Collaborators Adam Green and Binki Shapiro Are Soulfully Intertwined, Even If Their Debut Joint Effort Is Decidedly Not For Lovers
Friends and Collaborators Adam Green and Binki Shapiro Are Soulfully Intertwined, Even If Their Debut Joint Effort Is Decidedly Not For Lovers

Text: Ashley Simpson
"Don't use this album as an instruction book for love," says Brooklyn-based artist, singer, and man-about-town Adam Green of his latest release with former Little Joy front woman Binki Shapiro. "It's about a dysfunctional romance—one that ends when the nighttime stops bleeding, or when daytime starts to clot and coagulate." The duo's biting and deceptively harmonic rumination on a broken, decaying relationship is a folksy and somewhat old-fashioned sound with a late '60s pop feel—at times reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's psychedelic-infused kitch pop duets. Shapiro's sleepy, smoky vocals and Green's periodic plucking are the perfect vehicle for slightly off-kilter lyrics, including those about a "pity, pity love."
The pair's own relationship couldn't be farther from the one their output envisions. "Adam and I sort of met randomly at a Mexican restaurant while our friends were having a midday margarita here in L.A.," explains the waifish, Jane Birkin-esque Shapiro, from her home in Encino, California. "We just became best friends—he's like a brother to me now." Years later, Green joined Shapiro's band, Little Joy, on tour in Brazil. Then last fall the 26-year-old singer-songwriter received a text from Green as she was boarding a plane, asking if she wanted to make an album together. "Writing the first song was a bit awkward, but once we got over that, we just sort of let the music guide us," says Shapiro of their collaborative process. "We met every night at his apartment in New York, or mine—writing, shooting the shit, going out to eat, then writing again—and by the end we had something straightforward and maybe a little threatening, and we were bonded in a way that we weren't before."
Adam Green & Binki Shapiro is available January 29 from Rounder/Concord Records.
