Kelly's Gluten-free Grain-free Coffee Cake
This month's adoption of Kelly, the Spunky Coconut, inspired me and I hope it will inspire you as well. I think I first came across Kelly when I was searching for restaurant options in Boulder, Colorado. Kelly is a local girl and has two beautiful daughters with another baby on the way. I was immediately drawn to her name, logo and bright, vibrant photos. I was lucky enough to meet her in person this year and I enjoyed chatting with her in person just as much as I enjoyed reading her blog. Kelly is one of those people that radiates health and well-being thanks to her healthful (and delicious) lifestyle. Recently I realized that while I like Kelly's blog very much, I'd never made any of her recipes! So, I decided to adopt her and see what the Spunky Coconut was all about. Kelly's first edition of her cookbook is out of print in order to make way for a new, improved second edition! Yay!
The first recipe I tried was her cashew milk. Kelly uses homemade cashew milk in many of her recipes, and she made it look so easy I had to try it myself. She soaks cashew pieces overnight and then blends them in a blender, without straining. My blender is not as good as Kelly's blender so over time I found my cashew milk got a bit grainy. I did end up straining it a bit. Shhh…. Don't tell! I gave Baby Yum a sip of cashew milk (which she referred to as juice) and she liked it- before dumping it over her pancakes. I guess pancakes are the new toddler cereal. I thought it was delicious as well, and so much easier than most nut milks. Kelly uses a lot of liquid vanilla-infused stevia to add mild sweetness to her recipes. I have been grumpy about stevia-aftertaste in the past, so I just left it out of the recipes and added a touch of vanilla flavoring to the milk when drinking it. Works for me!
Another cool trick Kelly has is using homemade beans, especially navy beans, as the base for her baked goods. I made a big batch of navy beans in preparation for making two of her recipes. First, I needed beans for the base of her coffee cake (I know, cool, right???) and then the vegetarian in me was drawn to her recipe for szechuan bean cakes. Yum. Sweet and savory from one batch of beans! The coffee cake was a HUGE hit at our house. This recipe is so creative! It is made from beans and lots of eggs, which was PERFECT timing as we were planting our tomatoes and they need eggshells for the soil amendment. Kelly originally sweetened it with some honey (YUM) and stevia, but in the comments suggested those who are stevia-challenged could use an additional 1/3 cup coconut sugar. I had coconut sugar in my pantry that I was just dying to try, so I took her suggestion. The topping also wasn't a traditional coffee-cake crumble, being based in walnuts with a dab of coconut oil, spices, and coconut sugar. OK, OK, in the interest of full disclosure I must admit that I used pecans because I was out of walnuts AND my mother and DH don't care for walnuts but do like pecans. It worked like a charm, and the texture of this bad boy dessert (which really was not bad for you at all) was incredible! I would definitely make this again. It does make enough for an army, so I ended up freezing half of it… it would be a great potluck dish. Don't tell anyone it is made from beans (barring any intolerance) and they will never know!
Kelly's Gluten-free Yeast-free Vegan Sandwich Rolls (makes 3)
I also made Kelly's sandwich rolls. This recipe intrigued me because it was flavored with rosemary and garlic (I used toasted onion as we have issues with garlic at our house) and contained coconut flour as the main flour (along with tapioca starch) but was EGG-FREE! Amazing. The picture also drew me in. I love rolls for sandwiches! I didn't realize until I was actually shaping the dough that the recipe only made three buns. Actually, this was okay, but I'm kind of a baked goods stockpiler (and was hoping to have extras for photos the next day) so this threw me off a little bit. (Yes the above was taken at night- sorry about the flat lighting.) We were quite satisfied with the amount in the end, and the DH made a great big batch of tofu-sloppy joes for the buns and proclaimed them quite good. This recipe is wonderful for anyone avoiding yeast breads but craving that savory type of experience. Even Baby Yum enjoyed the rolls, especially slathered in butter. (My girl is a butter fiend- I have actually found her stealing butter off the counter- hopefully she will outgrow it.) I usually prefer yeasty breads but this was a terrific recipe that I would make again! Some commentors had trouble with the bun texture- but I made the recipe in Northern California (not high elevation like Kelly) and it worked for me with her measurements. I just baked it a little longer until it seemed nice and "done" on the outside.
Kelly's Coconut Chocolate Chip Pancakes
I couldn't resist trying Kelly's Chocolate Chip Pancakes. I didn't add extra coconut sugar and left out the stevia so they weren't as sweet as she had made them, but I really enjoyed them and found them addicting without being too heavy. Delicious! I did find the melty chocolate chips a bit messy. Not sure what to do about that. Baby Yum had some (without the chocolate chips) and gave them a toddler's thumbs up. Really nice texture and subtle flavor, and the chocolate chips make them naughty enough that you'll go back for seconds and thirds.
Kelly's White Bean Szechuan Veggie Burgers
Kelly's recipe for White Bean Szechuan Veggie Burgers was right up my alley! How could I NOT make this recipe? It was the second recipe I made from Kelly's blog. I did have to swap in a different San-J sauce because ANNOYINGLY I had every San-J gluten-free Asian sauce (teriyaki, polynesian, peanut) EXCEPT the szechuan sauce. Fate can be so cruel! I used the Sweet and Tangy Polynesian sauce instead and found it absolutely delicious, even sans garlic. Yum, Yum, Yum! The only thing was I did have a little trouble with texture BECAUSE (I think) Kelly used Bob's Red Mill coarse almond flour and all I had was Honeyville Farms finely ground almond flour. So the first batches were a bit too liquidy, and then later I added more almond flour and they were a bit too dry. Whoops. I'm sure it is because of the difference in flours. They were also rather delicate, so I had to be careful not to break them. What can I say, I am a clumsy cook. The flavor was delightful, and everyone in our household (except Baby Yum who is currently boycotting beans and mystery patties) loved them!
This adoption was a true delight, and positively educational. Kelly has a knack for working with coconut flours and has the casein-free diet down brilliantly, with delicious results. I enjoyed getting some insight into her culinary perspective and working with some new ingredients (beans, coconut sugar, coconut flour) and one of these days might even give vanilla stevia a chance. This blogger is a gluten-free blogger to know- and lucky us, she even has two cookbooks out! As soon as I get a copy I will review it here, so stay tuned!

Greetings stargazers.
Jupiter is high overhead now. Except for the moon, it will be the brightest thing in the evening sky this month, and is a good pointer to part of a rather large asterism.
An asterism is just a recognizable pattern of stars, and the one I am writing about this month is called the winter hexagon. Although a hexagon has only six sides, this asterism will help you learn eight different bright winter stars in six different constellations. The way you get eight stars is that the center of this hexagon has a bright star, and one of the points has a pair of twin stars. Learning these brighter stars in the region will help you star-hop to the numerous faint clusters and nebulae requiring binoculars or a telescope.
Lets start in the center. If you can find Orion, Betelgeuse is the bright red star above and to the left of the three belt stars. This is the center of the hexagon, and a good starting place to tell you how to find the six points around the edge.
Well start with the brightest point, Sirius, and continue counterclockwise. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, but if you need help finding it, the belt stars of Orion point southeast to Sirius. Sirius is in the constellation Canis Major, the Big Dog, one of Orions two hunting dogs.
The second point of the hexagon is at the other end of Orion from Betelgeuse. Rigel, Orions foot, is approximately equal distance from the belt stars as Betelgeuse, but is much bluer, so is a much hotter star. With the center and two points identified, you now have an idea of the size of the winter hexagon.
The third point around the edge is the red star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus. It doesnt look so bright now, because it is right next to the much brighter Jupiter. Without Jupiter as a pointer, you can find Aldebaran on a line between the belt stars in Orion and the Pleiades (Seven Sisters) open cluster in Taurus.
Continuing counterclockwise, the fourth point is Capella, in the constellation Auriga. It is slightly east of straight north from Aldebaran, and will be the point opposite of Sirius in the hexagon.
The fifth point is the one with two stars. Castor and Pollux are the twins of Gemini. They are roughly equal in magnitude. Castor is a beautiful double star in a small telescope, but I will have to save a discussion of double stars for another article.
Many nonstargazers know the names Castor and Pollux, either from mythology or from reading their horoscope, but a common problem that many stargazers have is remembering which is which in the sky. I just remember that Castor, with the C, is on the same side as Capella, and Pollux, with the P, is on the same side as Procyon.
Procyon is the sixth point, and the eighth star in the hexagon. It is in the constellation Canis Minor, the Little Dog. Not only is it a lesser dog, it really is a lesser constellatio because there are only two stars in it above third magnitude.
So this month, see if you can find all eight stars. And then next month, see if you can do it from memory.

My 2011 in Analogue: An Eye's Viewwritten by vicuna on 2011-12-28
It's always an incredible sensation to come to the end of the year and realize that 12 months have passed so quickly. Time flies by, but we lomographers have a great chance: we shoot our lives at every moment, and have the possibility to look at the past year through our photos and travel in time. But this also needs to make a selection, of some moments and some pictures in a very subjective way (but memories are subjective anyways) and thus, my analogue year selection isn't detailed, neither per month nor of what I did during these 12 months, but just picked up some moments and pictures I liked of 2011.22 36 Share Tweet

Obama's record of kept and broken promises
31 promises kept, of which 20 expand government power and 6 of which make it smaller, more transparent, or more accountable, and 5 are neutral.
6 promises broken, 5 of which would have limited presidential power, provided tax breaks, or more transparency or accountability to federal government, and one of which was symbolic (recognizing the Armenian genocide).
No promises broken which expand government power.

It was only the third time it had happened to me in my nearly 35 happy years as a priest. Other priests tell me it has happened to them a lot more. Three is enough. Each time has left me so shaken I was near nausea.
I had just arrived at the Denver airport, and was waiting with the others for the electronic train to take me to the terminal, when a man, maybe in his mid-40s, waiting as well, came closer to me.
"Are you a Catholic priest?" he kindly asked.
"Sure am. Nice to meet you," says I, as I offered my hand.
He ignored it. "I was raised a Catholic," he replied, almost always a hint of a cut to come, but I was not prepared for the razor sharpness of the stiletto, as he went on, "and now, as a father of two boys, I can't look at you or any other priest without thinking of a sexual abuser."
What to respond? Yell at him? Cuss him out? Apologize? Deck him? Express understanding? I must admit all such reactions came to mind as I staggered with shame and anger from the damage of the wound he had inflicted with those stinging words.
"Well," I recovered enough to remark, "I'm sure sorry you feel that way. But, let me ask you, do you automatically presume a sexual abuser when you see a rabbi or Protestant minister?"
"Not at all," he came back through gritted teeth as we both boarded the train.
"How about when you see a coach, or a Boy Scout leader, or a foster parent, or a counselor, or physician?" I continued.
"Of course not!" he came back. "What's all that got to do with it?"
"A lot," I stayed with him, "because each of those professions have as high a percentage of sexual abuse, if not even higher, than that of priests."
"Well, that may be," he retorted. "But the Church is the only group that knew it was going on, did nothing about it, and kept transferring the perverts around."
"You obviously never heard the stats on public school teachers," I observed. "In my home town of New York City alone, experts say the rate of sexual abuse among public school teachers is 10 times higher than that of priests, and these abusers just get transferred around." (Had I known at that time the news in a recent edition of a Sunday New York Times about the high rate of abuse of the most helpless in state-supervised homes, with reported abusers simply transferred to another home, I would have mentioned that, too.)
To that he said nothing, so I went in for a further charge.
"Pardon me for being so blunt, but you sure were with me, so, let me ask: When you look at yourself in a mirror, do you see a sex abuser?"
Now he was as taken aback as I had been two minutes before. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Sadly," I answered, "studies tell us that most children sexually abused are victims of their own fathers or other family members."
Enough of the debate, I concluded, as I saw him dazed. So I tried to calm it down.
"So, I tell you what: when I look at you, I won't see a sex abuser, and I would appreciate the same consideration from you."
The train had arrived at baggage claim, and we both exited together. We talked some more, particularly about why priests seem singled out, and parted with a handshake.
Notwithstanding the happy ending, I was still trembling ... and almost felt like I needed an exorcism to expel my shattered soul, as I had to confront again the horror this whole mess has been to victims and their families, our Catholic people like the man I had just met ... and to us priests.

Finally, do you have track titles and/or samples available? Thanks.
Might I suggest a "combo pack" discount for those wishing to purchase both? 19 euros is about 28 dollars X 2 = $56 for two cd's. Also, these are CDR's?
I should say Thomas and Matthias's style, combined- I'm not sure which one is which.
In case some might like the visual aspect "Nowosibirsk" from "Siberian winter" album:Cheers,Tomas
Please have a look here:http://www.el-culto.eu/english/shop/index.htmlCheers,Tomas

Move over David Hasselhoff. There's a new surf life saver dude in town. And his name is Prince William.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to Sydney's Manly beach on Good Friday and William said he'd love to enrol his nipper, baby Prince George, in a surf lifesaving club.
Moreover, the sporty Duke said he'd happily plunge into the surf if the royal bub should ever get into trouble.
"William said if they were in Australia he'd put George into surf life saving and that he'd go out there and rescue him if he ever needed it," Kara Blackley, 14, told AAP.
Ms Blackley, from Manly Surf Life Saving Club, was among a number of youngsters who got the chance to speak with the royals during their trip to the beach.
And who knows? Baby Prince George could become a future surf champion.
The royal tot, who didn't attend the event because he was napping, was given a six-foot surfboard by Manly Mayor Jean Hay.
William and his father both have a history of surfing, so the sport runs in their blue blood.
Kate also professed her love for the surf at Manly - arguably the crown jewel of Sydney's beaches - which was packed with royal fans and wellwishers.
The northern beaches suburb certainly turned on the sunshine for the visit.
"Kate said it was the first beach she's been onto in Australia and she absolutely loved it," said Grace Gurr, 13.
"She wished she brought George but he was asleep when they left."
William and Kate were escorted onto Manly beach by Prime Minister Tony Abbott and NSW Premier Mike Baird - both locals who serve as patrons for the local surf life saving clubs.
Mr Abbott wore a jacket and open-necked shirt, not his trademark budgie smugglers.
The surf was pounding, the beachside Norfolk pines rippled in the gentle breeze and a Navy warship patrolled just beyond the breakers, a few hundred metres from surfers apparently oblivious of all the hullabaloo.
The Duke wore brown loafers and a jacket and chinos while Kate was sporting a white dress and her high wedges.
That's not how the locals do it. The unofficial dress code in Manly is thongs and board shorts.
But residents seemed happy to overlook the regal wardrobe faux pas and cheered the couple at every opportunity.
The royals witnessed surf life saving skills demonstrated by youngsters from Manly and Queenscliff surf life saving clubs.
William fired the start gun for a swimming race.
The royals head to Brisbane on Saturday for the fourth day of their Australian tour.
Life's a beach and then you fly.

Khoi Vinh on why 24 hour or even weeklong reviews are dumb:
However I've come to believe that there's at least one thing wrong with this whole notion of product reviews - and with smartphone revirews in particular - and that's that by and large they're only ever interested in these phones when they're brand new.
When an iPhone debuts it's literally at the very peak of its powers. All the software that it runs has been optimized for that particular model, and as a result everything seems to run incredibly smoothly.
As time goes on though, as newer versions of the operating system roll out, as there are more and more demands put on the phone, it inevitably gets slower and less performant. A case in point: I'm upgrading to this iPhone X from a three-year old iPhone 6 Plus and for at least the last year, and especially over the last three months, it has struggled mightily to perform simple tasks like launching the camera, fetching email, even basic typing. People who have recently had the misfortune of having to use my phone tell me almost instantly, "Your phone sucks."
You could argue that three years is an unrealistically long time to expect a smartphone to be able to keep up with the rapidly changing - and almost exponentially increasing - demands that we as users put on these devices. Personally, I would argue the opposite, that these things should be built to last at least three years, if for no other reason than as a society we shouldn't be throwing these devices away so quickly.
This is, of course, the reason behind the odd embargo strategy Apple employed regarding the iPhone X - if you only give people an hour or at best, 24 hours, to review a device, people will still be in the honeymoon phase of owning a product, where you're still rationalising spending €1200 for a phone (or any other high price for any other product, for that matter). Choice-supportive bias is a real thing, and each and every one of us experiences it. During this period, initial flaws aren't as apparent, and long-term flaws or flaws that only pop up in specific situations aren't yet taken into account. It makes the product appear better than it really is.
This is why, back when I still did reviews for OSNews, I had my own rule of using a product for at least four weeks before publishing a review. This gave me enough time to get over this initial phase, and made sure I had a more levelheaded look at the whole thing. We don't do many reviews anymore - I have to buy everything myself, and I'm not rich - so it's not an issue at this point, but even if companies were to approach us today for reviews, I would still ask for that four week period, and if they were to object - sorry, but no review.
This is, of course, what the major publications should've done. Nobody forced The Verge or whomever else to publish a review within 24 hours. The initial embargo rush is important for the bottom-line, I get that, but it still feels rather suspicious. What can you really learn about a product in just 24 hours? Can you really declare something "the best damn product Apple ever made" after using it for less than a day? At what point does writing most of the review in advance before you even receive the product in the first place, peppering it with a few paragraphs inspired by the 24 hours, cross into utter dishonesty?
By reviewing products in a day or less, popular tech media is really doing readers and consumers a huge disservice, only further strengthening the idea that the tech press is often nothing but an extension of a company's PR department. This erodes credibility, and in turn hurts those among the media who do take their time to properly review a product.
It's okay to not rush writing a review to meet some asinine embargo. It's okay to not ask "how high?" when a company tells you to jump. It's okay to publish a review a week or even a month after an embargo has been lifted. It's okay to not post unboxing videos of non-retail boxes.
It's okay to, sometimes, just say no.

More power to you.
The thing is that most people don't save near enough to be able to afford the latest shiny every year (latest iPhone, Galaxy S, you name it), and to also afford a new car every 7 years and to also deal with an emergency spend. They just pile the cost of these on their existing debt and then complain that their phone bills are high and that the bank is hounding them and that their car is sucking their wallet dry.
Throwaway culture will never be good for the majority of people, even if it's good for you.

Aqueon Pro Heater Review
When Marineland Stealth Pro recalled their heaters, I was lucky enough to have a local store who exchanged my two 200W and one 100W heaters for these units. I had done some digging and these were the only ones I found that were both submersible and shatterproof.
I have been using them since and have been absolutely happy with them.
What we need to understand about these heaters is they are not new. Several years ago, in the way back machine, before manufacturing shifted to China, Marineland Stealth Pro Heaters were the preferred heater for use in a tank containing large aggressive fish such as Oscars. Prior to the shift to Chinese manufacturing, the Marineland Stealth Pro heaters were known for quality and durability. Subsequent to their manufacture in China, they became exploding aquarium bombs resulting in a recall of every Stealth Heater made in the last decade.
Aqueon came in behind Marineland, enlisting the same factory in Italy who designed and built the original Marineland Stealth Heaters. The result is the Aqueon Pro Heater. These are, in fact, updated models of the original Marineland Stealth heaters. If performing a side by side comparison of the original Stealth's with the Aqueon Pro, this becomes obvious. Aside from the inclusion of a indicator light and an improved temperature set dial, the heaters are identical, all of the way down to the machining grooves on the bottom of the heater.
Below is a photo of the original (Italian made) Marineland Stealth Pro (Top) and Aqueon Pro (Bottom). Except for the updates, the heaters are identical.
The Aqueon Pro Heater is currently my recommended heater for an Oscar Tank.
- Heater maintains a very steady temp with low duty cycle.
- Easy to use with accurate dials (I test my water temp with a good external thermometer and it is within 0.5 degrees of the temperature setting. I also like that there is always an indicator, red heating, green not.
- Quality: These are solid dependable units, no glass.
- Cost: Substantially less expensive than I expected, especially compared to other shatterproof products.
- Shatterproof. Just like it's original father, the Marineland Stealth Pro, these heaters are virtually indestructible. Your fish cannot harm them.
- Only time will tell, but the suction cups on these heaters are a bit different, with deeper cups. I'm hopeful these cups will last longer than others.
Is the habit of Marineland Stealths exploding a design defect or a manufacturers defect? I'm voting manufacturers defect as it would be highly unlikely that a well run company (as Aqueon is) would risk themselves by duplicating a Marineland mistake. There have been no reports of the Italian made Stealth Pros or of the Aqueon Pro's exploding, only the Chinese made Stealth versions. I trust these heaters.

public function scrollIntoView([String/HTMLElement/Element container])
* container : String/HTMLElement/Element
(optional) The container element to scroll (defaults to document.body)
but doesn't. Btw. second argument is missing in doumentation
It works.
The way round you must use it is
Code:Ext.get("id-of-element-to-be visible").scrollIntoView("id-of-container-element");
This work-around is very implementation specific. The id-of-container-element must be configured to scroll. In my example below, without adding the height and overflow attributes the scroll into view did not work:
How do I use Element.scrollIntoView() to scroll the document body so that the element is in view?PHP Code:

... lots of content here that is pushing my element out of view ...

 ...

I should note that I am using ext2.0.
Obviously only works if the body is the element that must be scrolled to get the element into view.Code:Ext.get("id-of-element-to-be visible").scrollIntoView(document.body);
If you are using a Layout, then it's the Element of the Layout's containing the element you want in view that must be scrolled.
I wish it were always as simple as document.body. Setting the document.body.scrollTop has no effect unless operating in quirks mode.
My testbed used an HTML 4.01 transitional doctype and I was only ever able to scrollIntoView a scrollable div, but never the body; however using document.documentElement works (tested in FF, IE6, IE7).
Specifically, I am now able to do this (when not in quirks mode):
I was completely wrong when I said I was implementing this with ext2.0; I was actually doing all these tests against ext1.1. Unfortunately the discovery above does not work with ext2.0. It seems ext2.0 is only able to scrollIntoView a scrollable div (even in quirks mode).PHP Code:
Whereas ext1.1::Element.scrollIntoView() could be patched with a ternary Ext.isStrict test, ext2.0::Element.scrollIntoView() needs some additional love.
Thanks for digging into this Rex. I will do some testing in Strict mode.

Did anyone ever come up with a fix/workaround for this? I'm in strict mode and scrollIntoView() isn't working. No error, but no scroll either in FF3.

The Department of Internal Medicine at Wright State University is a "clinical department without walls." Although its administrative/educational offices are located at the Miami Valley Hospital (MVH) Weber Center for Health Education, the department is closely affiliated not only with MVH but also with the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the Wright-Patterson Medical Center. In addition, both Kettering Medical Center and Dayton Children's Hospital are aligned with the department through the medical school and postgraduate programs.
Over the past decade, internal medicine practice, research and education have undergone dramatic change. Internal medicine practice has become more ambulatory based and basic science research more molecular. Health services research and epidemiology have offered exciting new realms for investigation. The mission and goals of the Department of Medicine must reflect the changes in health care delivery yet maintain the scholarly and inquisitive approach to clinical problem-solving in the hospital, in the office, and in the laboratory. The department's success relies on the strengthening of our affiliations with our community partners in health care delivery and our ability to work cooperatively and collaboratively with researchers and educators throughout the entire medical school and university. Current goals include:
- Standardization of learning experiences for all Wright State students and residents;
- Expansion of ambulatory educational experiences for both students and residents;
- Education of generalists and subspecialists to meet the needs of the Dayton metropolitan community;
- Expansion of research activities particularly in the fields of health services research and education;
- Maintenance of a faculty with diverse research and patient care interests.
The Department of Internal Medicine sponsors a categorical internal medicine program and fellowships in cardiovascular disease, gastroenterology, hematology and oncology, hospice and palliative care, and infectious diseases. The department also works closely with the Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior captain Kimberly Soo Hoo capped off her stellar career by being selected to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women's Basketball All-Conference Second Team. The honor is the first for the Engineers since Crystal Russell's selection in 2002-03. MIT also received its second consecutive Sportsmanship Award which is voted upon by the student-athletes.
Soo Hoo led the league in assists per game (5.35) and ranked second in assist/turnover ratio (1.48) and minutes played (36.62). She set new marks in every assist category in the MIT recordbook this past season. After tying the record for assists in a game four times, she surpassed the previous mark of 10 with 13 at Wheaton College on Feb. 20. Soo Hoo notched 139 assists this year, which eclipsed Maisha Gray's tally of 122 set in 1998-99. She also topped Russell's career total of 349 with 410 assists. Soo Hoo is the only person in the program's history to distribute at least 100 assists in multiple seasons as she accomplished this feat the last three years.

Brigance Lecturer Discusses Stereotypesby Bandon Stewart '08 • April 3, 2008 Share:
This year's Brigance Forum lecturer was Dr. Edward Schiappa, the chair of the Communications Studies Department at the University of Minnesota. A noted scholar in his field, having published five books and authored many journal articles, it was revealed during Wednesday night's public lecture that he has a Wabash connection, having served as a dissertation advisor to Wabash's own Dr. David Timmerman.
The title of his lecture was "Rethinking Criticism of Stereotypes and Representations in Popular Culture." At the outset, he attempted to give a working definition of "stereotypes."
Although the lecture covered a lot of material, the basic premise of Dr. Schiappa's lecture was that popular culture critics are deserving of the same sort of harsh criticism they extend to media. By way of example, he explained that many culture critics have analyzed works which are often otherwise well received very harshly for either promoting old stereotypes or caricaturing their targets by their exaggeration of anti-stereotypical characteristics.
For example, Schiappa pointed to the Disney cartoon "Kim Possible" which features a strong heroine protagonist whose physical and intellectual prowess serve her well in her fight against evil. She is accompanied by a dorky male sidekick who more often than not causes more trouble than he corrects. Although the cartoon does not promote the stereotype of physically weak or docile women, her strengths were perceived by some critics to be over exaggerations. "Some have criticized the cartoon as sexist," Schiappa explained, "for its portrayal of men as only 'nerds' and 'jerks'."
This criticism extended to other shows like Murphy Brown where critics derided the female main character of the same name as "too butch" and "a man in women's dress." Even the iconic Cosby Show was impugned by some scholars as promoting a view of minority affluence and success which could undercut public support for affirmative action.
The main assertion he made was that too many critics hold media to an "impossible standard" of "representational correctness" or an ideal representation of people. Schiappa suggested instead that more weight should be given to the impact the medium has on its audience. He said that what many critics of popular culture failed to recognize was the effects those shows had on perceptions people had about those groups. While some scholars may deride Murphy Brown for its portrayal's of the executive women or criticize the development of the homosexual characters in the television show Will and Grace, they should not overlook the improved perceptions these shows of women and homosexuals these shows fostered in the viewing public.
He was quite clear that he did not see "a differentiated category as the same as a stereotype." What he meant, he went on to say, was that as people interacted more with representatives of groups for which they hold prejudices, these prejudices decrease as a result of gaining a thicker and more complex perception of that group. "Prejudice," he went on, "decreases as understanding becomes more sophisticated."
The Brigance Forum Lecture is an annual lecture series held to honor the memory of the late William Brigance, a Wabash College professor for almost four decades and major figure in the history of the Speech Association of America. Through his long tenure at the College, his scholarship and leadership in the field of Rhetoric, and through the publication of his many textbooks, Brigance taught generations of scholars about his discipline.
According to Wabash Professor of Rhetoric, Dr. David Timmerman, the lecture is "a way to promote and honor the rhetorical traditional at Wabash College.
From lectures on ancient Greek oratory to explorations of contemporary issues, this lectureship spans the range of scholarship in our field." The establishment and continued endowment of this annual lecture series was a way that the Brigance family and the many generations of his students could honor his memory and prolong his service to his craft.

text: South American Seed Arrives Just in Time for Planting March 26, 2013 02:06 AM Tweet The DuPont Pioneer Corn Production Site in Constantine, Mich., is the largest in the company. Last winter, the Constantine site didn't handle winter production, but this year, the site is busy packaging seed to get it shipped out in time for planting. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Tyne Morgan US Farm Report Host Email It's a town with just over 2,000 people. When you drive into Constantine, Mich., from the south, two large corn production plants greet you on each side of the road. The "Welcome" sign tips you off to a fact unknown to many. This little town is known as the "Corn Seed Capitol of the World." Both DuPont Pioneer and Monsanto have their largest corn seed production sites in this small town with nearly every field loaded with detasseling crews during the summer. But last summer, the scorching heat impacted many seed corn acres. In Constantine, however, sandy soils make pivot irrigation a must, which in turn, helped save a good portion of their crop. "Last year (winter) we didn't have the need here for seed production," says Alan Spice, DuPont Pioneer Constantine, Mich., corn production site manager. "We had enough seed on hand to be worried about that." This year, however, that's not the case. Summer seed production in the U.S. wasn't immune to the crippling drought last year. That forced some companies to rely more heavily on South American production, which is finally rolling into seed productions sites across the country just in time for planting. "We've been getting good quality seed from South America," Spice says. Good quality, but what about yields? While enough seed seems to be there, many farmers have told AgDay they aren't able to get the exact hybrid or variety they want. We reached out to Monsanto Company, DuPont Pioneer and Dow AgroSciences. None of the companies would tell us if yields in South America were able to make up for what was lost during last summer's drought. However, the only company that would go near the topic was Dow. "South American production is currently comparable to the U.S. summer 2012 production," Chris Garvey, general manager of Mycogen Seeds told AgDay. "Right now we are projecting approximately 10% of our total supply to come from Chile and Argentina." Both Mycogen and DuPont Pioneer told us they went into last year's summer production with an aggressive production plan. So, while yields were lower than average, the increased acres helped companies remain in decent shape. But after harvest, focus quickly shifted to winter production in the Southern Hemisphere. "Once harvested in South America, it's dried and loaded into ocean freight containers," Spice explains. "Each container has a large bladder in it. And it's filled with seed that's put on ships." Spice says the Constantine site gets its seed from a port in Philadelphia. Once off-loaded from the ship, it's moved by rail to Chicago, then put on trucks to ship to Constantine. In total, that process takes between 10 days and two weeks. Unlike last year, with cooler temperatures above and below ground, many farmers aren't as anxious to get in the field right now. This is good news for those relying on seed from South America. Mycogen Seeds told us they are using a combination of air and boat to ensure seed gets to the U.S. in time for planting. And DuPont Pioneer says quick turnaround is key. "Once the corn is received here at the plant, within 24 hours we'll have it shipped," Spice told AgDay. Despite winter production just starting to roll in, Spice says they plan to have all the seed shipped within a month. Back to news

With their distinctive overhead curves, Palladian and arched windows are beautiful additions to most any room. Sometimes, though, you may want to play down the curves. One option is to subtly define the arch with drapery panels hung from a rod installed straight across the top of the window and pulled up and back with tasseled tiebacks strategically placed at the bottom line of the arch.
If privacy isn't an issue for your arched window, simply start your treatment below the arch, leaving it unencumbered by fabric. To dress the entire window and flatter its natural shape, try using a swag and jabot treatment hung from an arched drapery rod installed just outside the upper trim. For privacy, outfit the lower glass with sheer cafe curtains or shutters.
Here's a nifty way to treat eyebrow windows: Follow the form of the arch with a bendable rod and a span of fabric. Hang handkerchief-like pieces from decorative drapery pins or holdbacks installed in the window trim.
Bay windows have long ranked high on homeowners' wish lists, and there are lots of ways to treat them. A wall-size bay can benefit from fabric panels hung between windows (see Photo 1) to keep interest inside and add warmth to wide-open spaces. Fabric-covered rods and rows of double swags visually link the windows. View multi-window bays as one unit.
Another bay idea: Visually connect a trio of windows with a cornice or pelmet top treatment (see Photo 2). Cut-from-fabric diamonds lined with a stiff interfacing and tacked to a pelmet board link this triad. On the bottom half, keep things simple with cafe curtains hung on tension rods installed inside the window trim. The curtains provide privacy without blocking light or treetop views.
For picture windows, you'll get the most pizzazz by installing treatments across the top. Stationary fabric shades keep interest high and soften the glass expanses. Or you can add height by starting valances, fabric, painted cornices, or swagged scarves 6 inches or so above the top window trim.
Because glass doors need to open and close, choose treatments that stay clear of a door's working mechanisms. Sliding doors are best treated with drapery panels or vertical blinds that can be pulled to the sides. Bamboo shades, horizontal miniblinds, or sheer fabric panels shirred on tension rods installed at the top and bottom of the glass work well on French or glass-panel doors.
Because they open outward instead of upward, casement windows require forethought so treatments don't interfere with function. Many of the treatments that work for French doors work for casement windows because they're designed to move with the door as it opens or closes.
Hang valances or panels from curtain rods installed directly on the top edge of the window, so the treatment opens with the window. Hang side panels from a drapery rod that overlaps the wall and spans the window; the panels can be pulled off the window and over the walls when the window needs to be opened.
Swing-arm rods are another nifty solution; installed on the wall just outside the window frame, the arm rods and curtain panels are swung into the room when windows are opened.
Bishop-sleeve curtains: A series of poufs in a voluminous panel; created by gathering the upper portion in two or three spots with cords or tassel tiebacks.
Blinds: Treatments used to regulate light and privacy; available in horizontal and vertical slats made from plastic, metal, wood, bamboo, fabric, and paper.
Cafe curtains: Short panels hung across the bottom half of a window.
Cape Cod curtains: See Priscilla curtains.
Contrasting lining: A fabric different from that on the face of the treatment; creates interest for swags, jabots, and drapery panels.
Cornice: A wood box installed across the top of a window; can be upholstered with fabric, painted, stenciled, or wallpapered.
Curtains: Generally lightweight or unlined fabric panels shirred onto rods or hung by tabs stitched across the top of the panel.
Double-hung draperies: A treatment that features overlapping under- and overpanels.
Drapery clips: Decorative hardware in a variety of shapes that holds the top edge of fabric panels to an iron or wire rod.
Drapery rods: Wood or metal poles accented with decorative finials at each end. Rods run through matching or contrasting rings that attach to draperies.
Fabric shades: Flouncy balloon shades, pleated Roman shades, and fabric-covered roller shades.
Holdback: A metal or wood decorative hook that is installed in the wall or window trim to hold a panel back from the window.
Interfacing: A material used to add stiffness to drapery headers and tailored valances.
Interlining: A material stitched between the lining and face of drapes that adds body and helps drapes hold their shapes.
Jabots: Also called cascades and tails, jabots frame swag treatments; on wide windows they're often positioned between swags.
Lambrequin: A valance or cornice with long tails that run down the sides of a window.
Passementerie: Inclusive name for fancy trims, fringes, tassels, and ornamentation.
Pelmet: A flat-front fabric valance, similar to a cornice, mounted on three-sided "shelves" across the top of a window.
Priscilla curtains: Crisp white panels with ruffled edges. Also known as Cape Cod curtains.
Scarves: Hemmed lengths of fabric that wrap across a drapery rod or holdbacks installed at the top of a window for a swag effect.
Sheers: See-through fabrics used as underpanels for drapery treatments or for light curtains; the term is also used for the underpanels or curtains themselves.
Swags: Round-edge valances centered in a single window or combined in a series across the top of the window, usually lined and part of a formal drapery treatment.
Tension rods: Spring-loaded rods that fit inside the window trim; often used for cafe curtains and sheer panels on door windows.
Tension wire: A length of steel wire that runs across the top of the window and is attached with screw eyes to a wall or inner trim.
Tieback: Cording, fabric, ribbon, or rope that pulls panels off the window, usually outfitted with a ring that attaches to a small cup hook screwed in the wall or trim.
Traverse rods: Rods used for movable draperies.
Valance: A top treatment in a variety of shapes and sizes; can be used by itself or with side panels or cafe curtains.

AWEA Releases Recommended Practices for Offshore Wind Compliance
October 10, 2012
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) released its long-awaited consensus document, AWEA Offshore Compliance Recommended Practices 2012 (OCRP 2012), today at its Offshore WINDPOWER Conference in Virginia Beach.
Developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), AWEA's OCRP 2012 recommends good practices in the use of existing standards for planning, designing, constructing, and operating offshore wind facilities.
Efforts to develop the recommended practices document began in 2009 when industry and regulatory agencies raised concerns over the lack of a single set of standards or guidelines for offshore wind development in the United States. The development of the guidelines is critical to industry because they will lead to mature standards that will reduce uncertainty and project risk and ultimately help lower the cost of offshore wind energy. These recommended practices leverage multiple standards already in use in Europe but also compile many other standards from other industries to address the unique conditions in U.S. coastal waters.
To develop the U.S. guidelines, AWEA and NREL enlisted the help of more than 50 offshore wind industry experts to identify the best practices using four levels of existing standards: international standards, national standards (e.g., the American Petroleum Institute), classification society standards (e.g., Germanischer Lloyd, Det Norske Veritas, and The American Bureau of Shipping), and commercial standards and guidelines. The resulting OCRP 2012 addresses five critical areas in the development of an offshore wind facility:
- Structural reliability
- Manufacturing, qualification testing, installation, and construction
- Safety of equipment
- Operation and inspection
- Decommissioning.
The process used to develop AWEA's OCRP 2012 followed the AWEA Standards Development Procedures that were adopted by AWEA in 2007. AWEA is the Accredited Standards Developer under the authority of the American National Standards Institute for consensus wind energy standards in the United States.
