My previous post about the Vancouver group Ahna kind of resulted from a renewed interest in the underground on the west coast of Canada, specifically because I'll have been back on this coast longer than I have been in the past 4 years. So excuse this local focused and semi-indulgent round up of a handful of good grinders from B.C. and if it's not your thing then don't worry, more posts are coming. I think it fits in well with catching up on 2012 too.
It's strange growing up on Vancouver Island and just when you've become more invested and interested in underground music, you move to Toronto. That basically happened to me, and understandably from there I became more observant of the metal and hardcore scene in Toronto than I ever was of the one back west. Even when I was in B.C. I was in a place where it was an ordeal to go to a decent show (local or otherwise) even if I had known where and when, or was interested in music bands around me were putting out. I was a little underage as well so that wouldn't have helped.
What I'm getting at is I'm ashamedly very unfamiliar with the B.C. underground music culture where. I did know of and love a few acts (such as Skagos, Baptists, and Mitochondrion) however despite my geographical disconnect for so long I know I can do better.
In that spirit I plan on attending more shows when I can while I'm here, I've only been to two here compared to the hundred I've seen in Toronto. Even then in those two I came away with two great locals outside of Mitochondrion: Griefer and Ahna, plus others like sludge makers Hoopsnake. I'm kind of annoyed because I just missed a Despise You show with five bands I'm writing about here, a perfect chance to ease into things, meet people, and pick up some records while avoiding increased shipping costs.
This post will deal with releases under the punk umbrella but I intend to get some local doom, sludge and death/black metal together if I find enough enjoyable records. What you'll find below are some of the grind and punk bands I've been enjoying lately from my home province.
Yes just how most shoegaze bands are trying to break through the Loveless barrier, hardcore and grind groups are continually influenced and trying to reach the classics of (US) hardcore/grindcore like Infest, Crossed Out, Insect Warfare, Spazz, Discordance Axis, Man Is The Bastard, Despise You, Capitalist Casualties, Iron Lung, etc. And then of course we have the mountains of Nordic and UK grindcore I really shouldn't have to mention.
And it's not to say that B.C.'s fomenting grind underground is unique for Canada. Canadian grind and hardcore like Endless Blockade, Wadge, Haymaker, Kali, Left For Dead, The Swarm and Cursed (Toronto), (Winnipeg), Dahmer, Inertia Kills, Deche-Charge, Ballast and Mesrine (Quebec) — these are all worth a mention here as they've made a mark.
There are even more recent groups from this forest laden land have made a slight mark in the underground like the bizarre Mudlark, as well as Baptists who's demo I reviewed a while back. In fact they've just released their debut LP "Bushcraft" through Southern Lord so it seems at lea are dropping a new record in the coming weeks. Hopefully I'm not accused of arguing the following Canadians bound by grind are breaking molds or truly escaping the gravity of the above. But having said that I think you'll find that like their eastern brothers B.C. grinders are clearly destroying it and not giving a fuck just as satisfyingly as more well known bands.
So anyway, below are a few unsigned bands from the Pacific Great White North I'm really enjoying and I think you should check out. There's a couple others worth mentioning but for now its Six Brew Bantha, Obacha, War Hero, Shooting Spree, BRIDGEBURNER, Famine, SKUFF, Osk, Violent Resitution, MASSGRAVE, and White Lung.
Hopefully you find some enjoyment in the local flavor of hardcore B.C. has to offer.

Grindcore — VICTORIA — Unsigned/Independent
Starting off very strong with Six Brew Bantha as these three guys shred hard. Like cheese-grater on flesh at high speed grinding. This self-titled LP houses 17 tracks of unstoppable violent grind, technical and bordering on death metal in some tracks ("Fisgard Block Party") and once again returning to charged thrashing hardcore directly afterwards ("Governmentality"). Furious blast beats do a good job of pulverizing though they feel a little dampened by the production, and a humanitarian message delivered in a toxic scathing, screams form the rest of the foundation.
Sometimes like on "From Vice To Crutch" there's a '90's metalcore vibe ( ex. KIG) that quickly slams back into mincing, and then there are some very creative mid riff/song change ups in pace and structure like in "Destructive Energies" or "Humanufactured" that are undeniably wicked. It's these moment's that feel like Cephalic Carnage in their strange tech grind but not as spacey or cerebral. This is some devastating and swift stuff.
Really aggressive with a big sound and a tight delivery, grinding your face with the best of them from the southern tip of this lonesome island. You can buy this on bandcamp (name-your-price) or on vinyl from Scream//Writhe and Choking Hazard Records, as well as other hardcore/grind distros. Follow them for tour news and shit.

Obacha - 2012 Demo (2012
Obacha / Chetwrecker - Split (2012)
Obacha / Chetwrecker - Split (2012)
A quick note about all the bands in this section is that they all share members, and are a part of other local bands like Hyperemesis, Cryptician, Power Trip, Selfish Beings, and Primitive Surgery.
Obacha represent the Canadian interpretation of an accelerated Infest and Crossed Out styled revival grind/hardcore/powerviolence. The fuckin drumming, snare especially, is blazing fast here as are all the projects here, and the battering that is unleashed by Obacha may be the most distilled. Their two releases mow over you without pause in songs that rarely reach past 40 seconds so you can imagine the intensity you're about to step into. Killing Spree take a similar approach, and while Obacha feels a little faster and chaotic they're both coherent, mincing powerviolence worthy of absorption.
High pitched shrieks and low growls and grunts pepper the blazing punk eruption throughout the split (which is my pick so far). Tracks like "Downer" slow shit down and then leap into metallic whirlwind fervours while everything else explodes forward. Then look towards one like "Hockey Riots" and the following "Derailer" which are bursting with energy and sound almost insane. Both of these are spastic but very enjoyable.
Check their blog for news and shit, and contact 6th Ave. Records to buy a physical copy of their last split. Or go their bandcamp and get it all for free — I'm providing secondary links with the tracks split up since they're all in one on the bandcamp. Eventually Scream//Writhe will be carrying the Chetwrecker split in the coming months and there's only one copy of the demo tape left. There's a four-way split in the works so follow them if you want in on it.

Osk / War Hero - Split (2010)
Ummm / War Hero - Split (2009)
Ummm / War Hero - Split (2009)
War Hero unsurprisingly carries a similar torch as Obacha but witha few more slow downs, right from the beginning of the Osk split we see this between "Dropped" and "Cram It". Really these guys kinda remind me of a filthy Dangers. "Talk-O" slams on the breaks amidst the precious 30 seconds to deliver a megaton slowdown one-off, as is the case with "Finger Puller"; the entire time the bass sounds like a monster devouring the guitar riffs to create one thick fuzzy wall of wrecking ball hail. Both outputs here are so short it's a bit debilitating on first listen (as is Obacha and Shooting Spree) however this fades quickly . I'll be talking about the Osk side later.
The Ummm split (Ummm was (?) an Albertan grind band) is just as punishing with worse production, with songs streching into over a minute a few points and much to the pleasure of me. The opener "Gore" as well as three following tracks take time to draw out some more thrashy rhythms and whining bends, branching a little away from the 30 second blasts of related projects, but only slightly. The final two tracks seal the split with exactly that.
Check their myspace for other tracks and info on where to their records. Scream//Writhe as well as Hash Crimes have the Osk split and Rotten To The Core Records have the Ummm split. Can't find a link to their split with the now dead Hominid from Alberta but it is available at To Live A Lie Records really cheap.

Shooting Spree / These Are Da' Results of A Thousand Electric Voltz - Split (2013)
While fairly young there's no question Shooting Spree are just brutal. Absolutely filth grindcore/powerviolence (dubbed as 'minecore') with once again insane snare work/blast beats and a hydra-like vocal delivery by all members. It's like if Insect Warfare were sped up slightly. The songs rarely reach past 30 seconds but are plump with ferocity, lyrically dealing with harsh drug use and the consequences.
The riffs are chunky, the pace is extreme. This is some unbelievable grind that has a few brutal death metal moments, for instance in "Gangbanger" near the end there's a heavy set of slams muffled in distortion before the snare machine-guns onward again. Fans of Insect Warfare and Cellgraft will really want to check these crazy fucks out.
They have a few splits, a demo and an EP (check their facebook and blog for a list) but they're mostly gone. You can however stream two of their releases over on their bandcamp page, one of which (above) will be out in full soon so there's on two tracks now..

BRIDGEBURNER / Ahna - Split (2012)
BRIDGEBURNER / Ahna - Split (2012)
BRIDGEBURNER are another huge surprise, one of my favorites here. If you like Insect Warfare or Magrudergrind then these guys have some stuff you'll wanna hear. The tone is definitely similar to those brutes but with some wicked sludge like break downs between feedback jolts before the grimy grind machine starts up again. Tortured roars from multiple throats, a lot of distortion and feedback.
All their material has a bleak vibe surrounding it making it all the more heavy. "Hag" (from the Ahna split) is a three minute battering that grinds for a few moments before tumbling back down to a crawl, and Dustbowl incorporates this element as well between hardcore punk spasms. You gotta turn it up for those enormous riffs. Half the time BRIDGEBURNER spend time pressing down on you with gritty grooves, but the other portion of time they grind just as sickly. The opener of the Skuff split ("Two of a Kind") shows off a nice balance that extends into "Inhale/Exhale"; another crusher . The Ahna split has plenty of short bursts as well, in fact the majority of it is blazing and thick grind ("TDB" and "Cathartes" are vicious).
Ahna's side shows their ability to make some crusty punk with undercurrents of doom, mid paced and slightly awkward in its sound. I don't think it's as accessible or heavy as their debut or "Empire" but it shows Ahna tread ground that isn't seen too much.
Definitely a monster in the Canadian underground. I'm keeping an eye on these locals and so should you. Buy it here.

Famine are three dudes making some crusty d-beat hardcore from the edges of Vancouver. I know, the whole Southern Lord wave of Entombed-worshiping crusty thrash have become about as overbearing as the blackened skudgecore surge, so if you can do without it I don't blame you. In spite of this Famine take the traditional crust punk socio-political ethos and refreshes it nicely, making enjoyable thrashing madness exactly as it should be.
It's all executed smoothly with very dirty production, a triple vocal siege in the traditional grindcore/hardcore tone. Catchy and saturated with distortion and static, Famine bring some catchy crust punk in seven shots of political frustration. The target should be obvious from the title. One or two tracks like 'What Value?" have a very swedish grind feeling (like Gadget) but always circle back to the crusty underbelly; "Ecocide" does this as well. "War Fear ends the demo in a more bouncy fashion while longer track like "Mental Walls" really stand out and weather well.
Unfortunately unless you catch them live I think I got the last copy of this demo (#67/100), I haven't found it on the other labels/distros listed here anyway (I got it from Scream//Writhe). So maybe throw them a few bucks on bandcamp if you so desire and like them on facebook.

BRIDGEBURNER / Skuff - SPLIT (2012)
Skuff - Demo (2012)
Skuff - Demo (2012)
Barbaric grunts assail you, the choppy bass lines and furious drumming erode your bones. Skuff come at you swinging big weights at high speed. "Green Wash" is a particular favorite with it's almost playful beat near the end kind of like the open for "Smog Day" which really punds, whereas "Anarcontradictory" is dissonant and unnerving. "Fried Mind" and "Tooth Decay" (that intro riff) also stand out in the bassy stampede of the one split but taken together it's solid all over.
Sometimes these tracks are separated by amusing movie and rap samples (even a Scion ad) much like Magrudergrind and many brutal death records and it works well I think, that shit makes me chuckle if they're good picks.
Weird but brutal so I recommend this. I'm not sure where you can get a copy of the tape but they just completed a new (and quick) split and it'll be available soon so check their discography and follow them to get info on that. Or you can pay whatever you want on bandcamp if your fine with that.

Osk / War Hero - Split (2010)
Roskopp / Osk - Split (2009)
The guys here have their hands in MASSGRAVE, Mudlark and multiple other dirty projects surrounding grind and sludge. Osk (yeah pronounced 'ausk' I believe) are pretty fucking brutal Grindcore in the vein of the Swedish tradition that isn't afraid to crash and smoulder in some metallic, sludgy slow downs and very minute injections of discord. They may be my favorite of the grind I've mentioned here with BRIDGEBURNER following closely.
Even in the two short releases here (both well under 5 minutes) I was fucking flattened by all of it: the 2009 split contains the track "Arm Yourself" which is unreasonably heavy for a band no one's ever heard of. The rhythm here fosters an uncontrollable urge to go apeshit. The other three tracks are high velocity freight trains of 40 seconds or less grind composed of great riffs, ugly vocals from all members, whirring drums. All awesome every second.
They have such a great guitar tone as well, similar in deliciousness to New Low's first demo: filthy, warm and thick for continuous batterings of bone shattering grindcore. If you need proof just check out the track "Endless Repent" (off their 2008 split with Scumbelly) and if that groove doesn't flatten you then I would say move on.
These guys may very well be one of the best active grind bands contending with east cost titans like Endless Blockade. Everything I've heard by them has been impressive and enjoyable so you can't go wrong when picking a release.
Unfortunately I can't find any links to the majority of their shit online outside of their split with previously mentioned fellow grinders War Hero and a stream rip of their split with Colorado grinders Roskopp, so that's all I have for you. There's some pretty good live footage of them here and here if you want more for now. I know I'll be attending a few gigs they'll be playing at some point in the near future however and I plan on snatching up a whatever they have, because the small amount I've heard is awesome. They're opening for Iron Lung with Column of Heaven with a few other locals so I'm stoked for that, while on the previous and following nights Baptists and White Lung are playing.
Here's hoping they're working on a full length. I know they're supposed to putting out a split with the aforementioned BRIDGEBURNER. For now buy their records from Scream//Writhe, To Live A Lie Records, Give Praise Records, Hash Crimes, and Active Rebellion Records. You can hear a few unreleased on their myspace too.

Violent Restitution - Violent Restitution (2012)
When it comes to their music Violent Restitution are simple and vulgar, grinding with a crust edge and taking pride in being serious about activist causes. In terms of the members it's a little confusing on first look but i think I got it. On this record a previous member Mya Mayhem (previously of Life Against Death) did vocals, and she's a hardcore (socialist? anarchist?) activist who is involved in multiple anarcho-vegan-environmental, anti-capitalist themed causes (Food Not Bombs, Black Pawprint Collective).
The drummer and guitarist are both from outside B.C. (the former Chicago, and latter Winnipeg) and both have been in multiple underground grind and hardcore groups. In fact Sarah was in Willing Feet on bass at one point who opened for Mitochondrion when I saw them the first time.
Even with Mya gone I would assume the groups ethos have not changed. She wrote the lyrics here which revolve around political and social issues and they clearly take their music, lyrical subjects and lifestyles seriously — as one should expect. Using music as a force for protest and reaction would be the way to put it. Their new vocalist Jessica I have not heard but Mya's are extremely low, gravely and then she'll throw in a couple venomous screeches. The fury and disgust come through quite clear. Sarah wields the axe and very well indeed, she's in quite a few bands, Willing Feet on bass at one point who opened for Mitochondrion when I saw them the first time.
It's obvious they've shaped quite a weapon to bludgeon their enemies into a pulp. The cover may give you an Insect Warfare vibe (as will the Massgrave cover) but it can be a little misleading. The moments when they're really grinding it comes close but the crust influence brings shit to a slower pace compared to most of the bands listed here. Lost of feedback, heavy rhythms and hardcore slows and pinches and bends. "Evisceration" and "Vivisect" are two off hand but all of them show this nice duality. The grind is obscene while the slower crusty sections hypnotize and draw you in for another shredding.
This is probably one grind slab you missed just like me. Another record you can pick up at Scream//Writhe, Mercy of Slumber, and Choking Hazard Records, or you can email the band directly. Follow their progress on facebook, and you can hear their earlier demos under their previous name Degenerative Myelopathy.
The mediafire link is the same as the bandcamp link except the tracks have been split up.

Outside of Osk I think Massgrave (containing a few members of some previous groups) is the grind group in the Vancouver area that gets a fair amount of attention. There's a good reason for that and you only need to hear one of their ferocious grinding punk assaults to be convinced they're a force in the grind arena. Loud as fuck jumping between filthy grind and more Protestant-like hardcore Massgrave have some seriously addicting material on this LP, "$lavery" and "What's Real?" take that latter quality while "Escape", "Bitter Emnity" have some ugly thrashing.
The production is great. A big low end and nice crunchy tone, outside of the clear Disrupt influence there's some influence from the German scene I think; some tracks have that metallic sludge twang to them but only a glimpse; usually in the shorter tracks.
One of the last tracks is "Diamonds And Warheads", a Capitalist Casualties cover and it's heavy as fuck. They do their elders justice.
I recommend you follow these guys too. A lot of their shit is sold out in most places but you can get this one over at To Live A Lie Records, and you can get their much lauded "People Are The Problem" LP (which I have not heard) from Unrest Records. I'll be seeing them open for Rotten Sound in May so maybe I'll post something else at that point.

White Lung - Sorry (2012)
Interestingly enough White Lung may be considered the least underground group listed here, but that has no bearing on the fact that they fucking kill. I've already done a write-up here on this album, it ended up on my year end list too and I discovered it late. I was on the plane back west when I put it on and it's been in frequent rotation ever since. Three chicks and one dude making some fantastic punk or post-hardcore that rips and shines brilliantly in 20 minutes.
Mish's vocals are awesome, they really stand out. Kind of coated in reverb giving it that retro British punk feeling, the delivery strong and enthusiastic. Bass lines are thunderous, their prominence here reminding me of Ringo Deathstarr: bouncy and surprisingly fast. Every track is memorable and full of energy without the edge being lost in the blurry twinkling . It's still scratchy and noise-ridden (the opener "Take the Mirror" or " Those Girls") but allows the brightness to pierce through sometimes with harmonic sweeps and high pitch tremolos.
So it's both aggressive and oldschool DIY feeling with a more new post-hardcore twinkle. "Bag" and "Bunny" are consuming in their catchiness on all levels, the former has a great chorus while the leads later on give me nostalgia flashbacks to the old NES Batman soundtrack. That looks strange as I type it. Anyway "Glue" and "Thick Lip" have this quality as well, it's almost like So Stressed if they weren't elctro-industrially inclined.
White Lung satisfy quite a lot of thirsts I think and Sorry is quite pleasing surprise from Vancouver. It's arguably a little same-y and I'm confident they're going to be branded as hipster in no time but fuck it, I enjoy this. They're making their way around so get tour dates and shit on their facebook, and buy their stuff at Deranged Records.

Coconut, It's so Good for You
A friend sent me some information on coconut oil and I was astonished at all the great things it can do.
It is antibacterial, so combined with some baking soda it makes a great tooth paste
It is an oil that penetrates the shafts of your hair, eliminating the need for conditioners and works great on cracked heels.
It raises your good cholesterol (the HDL)
You can use it in place of butter for a non-trans fat oil in your baking.
You can store it opened without refrigeration for up to two years.
Consuming it straight from the jar helps with digestion
There is just so much it does. I made some oatmeal cookies with it today. I used almond flour, stevia and coconut oil instead of butter. The cookies crumble a little more, but the taste is great. They were light and almost fluffy.
How about coconut flour, a lot less carbs in there. That is what I am searching for to eliminate the flour and sugar…there go most of the carbs.
I also use coconut water (unsweetened) in smoothies or just drink it straight because it has natural electrolytes to keep you hydrated.
Do any of you use coconut in your cooking on a regular basis? How has it helped you?
44 replies
I've been also surfing the internet for the information about the effect of coconut oil for T2 diabetes, as I'm interested in the mechanism why it helps. http://coconutjuice.co/coconut-oil-diabetes-p... here for example it is said that coconut oil enhances metabolism and in that way lose weight, but I don't don't think that its possible to lose enough weight to lower blood sugar, probably it just increases insulin sensitivity.
I just started using this today. I have read countless articles on it before I started using it. I am very interested in seeing the results from it. It's funny, sometimes you read things here and then forget about them for a while. Now I recall why I wanted to try it.
Please share how it works for you. I am very curious in all areas. I just made some coconut balls that are yummy and so low carb. Unsweet coconut, coconut oil, almond flour, stevia and a bit of vanilla. That is so much better than a macaroon loaded with sugar. I am really excited about using this product. I want to make some coconut milk soon too. YUM.
Coconut sugar has a lot of health benefits as well. It has a low GI which means no sugar spikes and it has lots of vitamins, minerals, and even amino acids. You have to make sure you're getting a good quality coconut sugar - make sure the ingredient list says "100% Coconut sap sugar" (Philippines requires this to export I discovered) or "pure coconut sugar". Some brands say they are only coconut sugar but they add other palm sugars or even cane sugar as fillers, which don't have the same nutrient value or low GI level as coconut sugar. I've done quite a bit of research about coconuts and coconut products, and one thing I've discovered is you have to be savvy when your searching - there's a lot of misinformation out there. One reliable website I found was http://www.sugarcoconut.com/
I really like baking with it. It can be replaced in recipes cup for cup. I've had my mother-in-laws chocolate cookies (plus a few other treats) and the coconut sugar makes them taste even yummier.
I also like to make those iced coffee's(like McD's has). Just take cold coffee poured over ice, and just add your preferred amount of cream and sugar (I actually don't drink hot coffee with sugar, but I really like the iced coffee's with it). My sugar levels rise just a little and they stay there for awhile (I have an insulin pump that I can match my insulin delivery to the low, slow rise of my blood sugar levels).
I'm really interested in the coconut flour as well. I love the high protein and fibre content. Anyone have a good recipe? Also which brand is the best to buy? I've read about some people having mould develop quite quickly with some brands…
This is some great info. I know we had a discussion on palm sugars http://www.diabeticconnect.com/discussions/5971-coconut-palm-sugar
there was another one, but I cannot find it.
I was considering purchasing some. I usually use raw sugar or stevia, but this might be an interesting alternative. I use dark brown sugars as well in baking. A little can go a long way.
I have changed to stevia sugar.i read it's better.what is the difference in regular flour and coconut flour?
I have not found all the info on that yet. I am looking for some comparisons. I did find some for almond flour here: http://www.diabeticconnect.com/discussions/14532-go-low-carb-with-almond-flour
Basically, coconut flour is going to be similar to almond flour in that it is gluten-free. I am not sure about it's carb content, but there are so many other good things in it, that it might outweigh the bad. But I have not found those yet.
I don't use sugar much, so mostly I used to use brown sugar (until I discovered coconut sugar 2 years ago). But I learned from one of those Marketplace episodes (that might be a Canadian show) that all brown sugars are white sugar with molasses added back in - so it goes through the same 4 chemical "baths" that white sugar does, and at the end they add molasses back in. I wasn't very impressed because I was always under the assumption that brown sugars were less processed and healthier for us. Always something new to learn. So now that I know how coconut sugar is made (they only heat it - should only be to 115c - to evaporate the water content) I feel better about using that - whenever I need sugar for something.
Dang! I didn't know that. I suppose there is no way to figure that out. I think I will just go to the raw sugars and coconut sugars. They seem to have more good things in them like minerals and stuff. Man, people should be honest. I have to go check my brown sugar packages now.
I would expect that putting the coconut flour in the freezer might stop that mould from happening.
Yes that might be the solution. Anyone recommend any brands, or are they all pretty much the same quality?
Sprouts hasboth the flour and sugar in their bulk food aisle. I think the carb count was around the same as for flour, but don't remember. I am allergic to coconut (at least the flakes and oil) so haven't tried the flour. I don't know if I am allergic to the whole plant or just portions.
Coconut flour is made from the meat of a mature coconut, so it might not be so good for you to try it out.
I have seen it for sale in bulk at several online places. I find www.nuts.com and www.amazon.com have the best prices for it.
Thanks, Gabby.
Just used coconut oil, milk, and flakes in a cassarole. It's still in the crockpot, but it's tasting pretty good. It's kind of a pacific islands meets India recipe. I'll write it up later, if it works as well as it seems to be.
Spiked my BG more than I wanted, so added chicken to the leftovers and more spices. Second time around was good. Then I got sick and haven't been online for a couple days. I think it is/was a sinus congestion on the left side of my head only, but it is icky and moved into my lungs. Just taking care of my right now. Discovered W's craziness was due to acetominiphin and now he is in less pain and lucid again. It has been a horrible 10 days.
I have used coconut oil off and on for several years. Being from the south I occasionally love biscuits and gravy. So, one weekend morning I made biscuits with coconut flour, coconut oil and heavy cream. Then I took some sausage and cooked it, then used the fat from that along with some coconut oil and used some xanthan gum, heavy cream and salt and pepper. Like magic I had some very yummy biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were a bit heavier than ones made with white flour but the taste was so good and the gravy was rich and very satisfying!
I don't know about the hair, digestion and other stuff but the average of the studies over the last 25 years suggest it raises your risk of heart disease. This is a pretty good paper about it, but like everything, what happens for one person is not always going to happen to the next. http://www.hawaii.edu/hivandaids/Coconut%20%2...
The article, while about coconut when talking about heat disease lumps it with all fats and the fact that too much, even of a good thing, is not so good. The main problem is that it does increase your overall cholesterol, but it does it through increasing your HDL (the good one). So it does get a bad rap in that way.
I am not advocating eating a bunch of it. Just substituting it for some of the oils we already use. I use olive oil and peanut oil. This was a nice way to try something new that offers more health benefits than some of the other oils I currently use. I don't fry foods, but I do use it to saute veggies or a bit to give my protein a nice browning.
I might try it in more baking as well. We will see. I have not used it in my hair...that would be a disaster. LOL
I don't cook with oil a lot, but I do use coconut oil to finish the cutting boards I make. Absorbs better than mineral oil and doesn't leave them feeling greasy. Also good for seasoning cast iron stuff.
Nick, that is good to know. I will start using it to season my cast iron skillets.
Seasoned with coconut oil this a.m. Worked well. Loved the flavor it left in the chop suey mix I used to create an egg foo yong for breakfast.
I use mainly virgin coconut oil for most of my cooking now. I understand that it is very healthy (and nonGMO!) because of it's medium chain acids. I love the way it tastes and smells! I also sometimes smear a bit on my feet, lips and elbows for a natural moisturizer and softener!
Your cookies sound amazing! I too have been substituting almond (and coconut flour) flour in a lot of my recipes, although I find the texture somewhat weird depending on the recipe. Have you posted the cookie recipe on DC yet? I would love to try it.
I have also been using coconut milk (found in the asian section) for making curries and soups etc. It is also pretty low in carbs and just delicious.
I have not because I don't know the carb counts on it. I will have to see if I can find that stuff and get that information. I know it is better than the flour and oats and sugar, and tonight I had some at a meeting and everyone really liked them.
The thing I am adding is Guar Gum. It is less expensive than Xanthan Gum and I believe it does the same thing. When I try it in a cake, I will know for sure. LOL
I usually make a 2 egg scrambled egg dish for breakfast using coconut oil with diced mushrooms, diced garlic and diced onion. I scramble the eggs and mix in the other ingredients and then turn on the heat and let it cook without further mixing. In the pan I use (kind of a flat bottomed wok) it comes out looking like a little like a pancake. I carefully turn the mixture over without further stirring and it cooks on the other side. I have always used the coconut oil for that.
I heard quite a bit also and since I cook quite a bit I took an interest. I haven't actually used it for cooking yet, but i am looking forward to a variety of responses. Check out this link:
I use it in some of my stir fry vegetable dishes and in a smoothie for Wayne. Coconut oil is also a treatment for Alzheimer's.
My smoothie that he likes best (he is not diabetic and is losing weight) is: a scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream, milk for consistency, frozen blackberries, 1/2-1 banana, shredded coconut, and AFTER it is all blended, blend in 1T coconut oil. if you add the oil earlier, it will go to the bottom and coagulate rather than mix into the smoothie.
Coconut oil can cause diarrhea, so I started with 1 teaspoon for him and increased it gradually.
Coconut is also an outstanding remedy for diahrrea. Works like a charm!
Coconut itself is the remedy. Not the oil. I've heard other folks say that the oil could be the cause too. I got my husband a big tray of coconut macaroons one year at Christmas. I had totally forgotten that they were "clogging" in nature. He ate a bunch of them over a few days. To make a long story short he ended up in the doctors office. Then after he returned home from his doctors visit it hit me. Duh! It's the coconut that caused him to be so constipated!!
Well, publications I've read, TaraHealth'a comments, and my husband's experience speak strongly to contradict this as a general solution for diahrrea. As we always say, we are all different, but the preponderance of evidence comes down on the side of it being a cause not a cure for diahrrea.
However, the literature and Wayne's experience both show that as the body adapts to the increased oil, it no longer causes diahrrea for most people. That's why the recommendation to start slow, increase gradually until you find the point of tolerance.
Yes, actually it was a video I saw on the improvement of an Alzheimer patient. He was moving from moderate to severe and his wife did a lot of research. She started him on 3T of it a day. He had taken a test where he was asked to draw a clock. He could only get a couple of numbers and drew circles all over the page. In a week, he was giving the test again, and he drew a recognizable clock. Still kind of messy, but you could see it. Then in week 2 he did another one and it had all the numbers in the right space inside the circle. Incredible.
They say it is because it feeds the brain without the use of glucose or insulin.
Same case, but I read it in a health magazine and tried it with Wayne. He is having a down time right now because of pain—broken tail bone at end of November and cracked or bruised rib two weeks ago—but is off his A's meds and doesn't seem to be any worse than I would expect him to be with a load of codone in his system. Strange. I shall keep on giving him coconut oil and see.

WEST MELBOURNE — A West Melbourne man has given up his battle to keep his two lean and aging horses from the South Brevard Humane Society.
Norman Fox, a real estate broker, said his 16-year-old and 20-year-old horses are comfortably thin for the coming summer heat.
Humane society officials said the horses are too thin to be healthy, and the animal protection organization may take them and have them killed.

Science Fiction Romance
"It would be poor manners to get me into this mess and then abandon me."
The war is over. Humans have lost. Aliens have taken over our planet, our homes, and our bodies. There are only a few insurgents left of the human race. Wanderer, a new alien to this planet, has been placed inside a captured insurgent to wrest out information on where any might be left hiding. The problem? The human is still there - one body, two minds. Will Melanie succeed in turning Wanderer against her own kind, and set out to find the lost humans in order to join them? If they get there, will they be able to convince anyone that Melanie is still alive inside?
My Opinion: I think this is her best novel yet. It is also a slightly older read than her previous books. I really enjoyed this story. I'll be the first to admit, I don't usually like Sci Fi - in fact, I think this is one of two Sci Fi books I like. However, the premise was intriguing to me. I love the interplay between Wanda and Melanie and how their relationship grows. I love how the author is able to personify the many ways that humans would react to being overtaken by aliens. The love triangle/square is truly amazing. I really loved this book and would recommend it.

|Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma
The newly elected chairwoman of the African Union commission, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma faces tough challenges in early days of her mandate.
On Sunday, South Africa's minister of Home Affairs was elected head of AU commission; Dr Dlamini-Zuma became the first female to hold the post, beating the incumbent Gabonese Jean Ping after months of power struggle that threatened to divide the already dysfunctional organisation. But the South African diplomat has yet to prove that she is the right woman for the job as she faces tougher challenges than her election, the continent is embraced with various on-going conflicts from north, east to central.
One of them is the most talked-about and disturbing, rebels attacks in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and the United Nation's recent report showing the implication of Rwanda which her predecessor completely failed to solve. Unlike Jean Ping, ex-miss Zuma is a distinguished politician who attracted praises for her hard work at the helm of the then disorganised South African department of Home Affairs and her contribution to the glory days of her country's foreign policy back in the days of former president Thabo Mbeki but the boiling conflicts in the DRC, Sudan and South Sudan or the coup in Mali are different stories all together, this is a baptism of fire for her as it seeks more than just being strong enough to handle all of Africa's never ending problems and above all to re-unite the continent after her election which revealed a deep division that reign within the union's French and English speaking countries. The AU' second summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (which was initially scheduled to take place in Malawi's capital Lilongwe) didn'tjust help to break the union's long tradition of "only male" leaders but it did certainly serve as a neutral ground for Rwanda and its larger neighbour the Democratic Republic of Congo to try to settle their differences as they both agreed via the respective president to an international force to intervene in Congo even though UN peacekeepers are already in the region.
Dr Dlamini-Zuma's victory on the other hand will have an immense impact and hopefully it will strengthen South Africa's damaged foreign policy specifically on its relation with fellow Africans due to SA's unpopular support of the International Criminal Court and its arrest warrants against African politicians. Optimistically it will also help the South African population to connect with other fellow Africans as they always have been detached to the realities they go through.

This is the project from the December 2016 copics class. It looks way more than it really is. She breaks things down so well! I'm usually pretty intimated by the picture as a whole but once you start coloring it goes by really fast and all the sudden you're like " I got that much done already?" haha
I gave my mom my picture from the November class as a Christmas present and now she wants a collection haha ... so this one is for her. Who can say no to their mom right?
Image is from Stamp Anniething exclusive to Kit and Clowder class but check out her stamps - they are adorable!
I printed mine pretty big - on an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of Papertrey Ink White Cardstock and then once I finished coloring I trimmed it down and matted it to a black piece of American Crafts cardstock so I can put it in a frame.
There are a lot of colors here so I'm just going to list the basics.
Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Hair - E11, E13, E15, E18
Dress - , BG09, BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18, BG49I changed my dress color to something other than what the class was using because I didn't have all the colors.
I learn so much from these classes! I hope you enjoy my finished project!

Saving Energy, and Money, in the Workplace
We can all help to conserve energy and save money at our workplaces by implementing some quick and easy changes in our work habits and becoming more conscious about our working environments.
Some helpful hints include:
Electronics and Appliances
- Maintain all electrical equipment in optimum condition by scheduling regular servicing to ensure it is kept running efficiently.
- Turn off photocopier at night or purchase a new copier with low standby feature. Purchase printers and fax machines with power management feature and use it.
- Always turn off all electrical appliances and pull the plugs from the wall sockets at the end of the workday, including cell phone chargers, fans, coffeemakers, desktop printers, radios, etc.
- Replace desktop computers with thin clients or laptop computers and docking stations.
- Replace cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors with LED or liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors.
 Lighting
- Turn off lights in all rooms and areas that are not in use such as the common areas, break room and conference rooms. Use dimmers, motion sensors, or occupancy sensors to automatically turn off lighting when not in use to reduce energy use and costs.
- Use task lighting instead of brightly lighting an entire room.
- Replace incandescent lights with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for desk lamps and overhead lighting. Using CFLs instead of comparable incandescent bulbs can save about 50% on your lighting costs and last up to 10 times longer.
- Windows and Blinds
- During the summer months, pull the shades or close the window blinds during the midday to limit the amount of heat that enters the room in warmer weather and to limit the amount of heat that escapes during the winter months. Overhangs or exterior window covers are most effective to block sunlight on south-facing windows.
- In the winter months, open blinds on south-facing windows during the day to allow sunlight to naturally heat your workspace. At night, close the blinds to reduce heat loss.
 Heating and Cooling
- Adjust and program the thermostat to shut off during the night and to turn on half an hour before the beginning of the workday. Set the thermostat no higher than 69 degrees during the winter months.
- Encourage employees to dress according to the weather and time of the year, adjusting their layers of clothing before changing the thermostat settings.

Why See Bruno Mars?
It's Magic
Bruno Mars is on top of the world right now! Still basking in the success of his Mark Ronson collaboration 'Uptown Funk', he followed it up with another fierce of glittering pop funk, '24K Magic', the lead single from the album of the same name. A showcase for his incredible skills as a songwriter, musician and all round entertainer, 24K Magic is another entry in a hits filled catalogue which has seen Bruno become one of the biggest names in music.
Beginning his career as a songwriter (Cee-Lo's 'Forget You' is maybe his most famous writing credit), Mars has since made the transition to blockbuster singer. Whether it's ballads ('Grenade', 'Just the Way You Are'), insanely catchy pop numbers ('The Lazy Song') or driving anthems ('Locked Out of Heaven') Bruno can do it all.

The 4th District Appellate Court in Springfield has denied Adams County State's Attorney Jon Barnard's request to remove an order for stay that halted late voting.
In a brief email statement, Barnard said he will not pursue the case further, as it would take the process beyond the March 29 date in which election results must be certified.
QUINCY — Adams County State's Attorney Jon Barnard filed a response late Monday afternoon to a stay ordered by the 4th District Appellate Court to stop extended voting this week, after numerous voters did not vote because of ballot shortages during last week's primary election because of the lack of ballots.
The appellate court approved the stay late Friday at the request of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who sought the appeal, after Adams County Circuit Judge Chet Vahle refused to reverse an injunction he had ordered on Thursday that would allow late voting this week.
A ruling is expected as early as Tuesday.
Barnard said if the appellate court doesn't reverse its stay, he doesn't expect to appeal it to the Illinois Supreme Court because the Adams County clerk's office must certify its results by March 29.
"By the time you can mount a similar challenge in the Illinois Supreme Court, you will have lost critical time," Barnard said. "Not only are days critical here, hours are critical if we are to certify that vote on March 29."
The attorney general's office argued the Illinois Constitution and the state election code sets how and when elections are conducted, and that the mandatory ruling ordered by Vahle created a class of voters that received an extra week to cast a ballot.
Barnard had argued that the injunction afforded the right to extended voting to those that were on unequal footing.
"This focus ought to be on the voters that didn't get to vote," he said. "The guardian of the process, which is the government, is the very entity that took their right to vote away from them, and it seems to me that we ought to be focusing on what we can do to restore the right of the voter."
A voter would have only been able to cast a ballot if there was an electronic record of them signing in at their precinct but not receiving a ballot, or by singing an affidavit swearing under oath under the penalty of perjury that they attempted to vote but were unable to do so because of the lack of ballots.
Adams County Clerk Chuck Venvertloh said if the court allows for late voting, his office is ready to go with ballots and has 15,000 sheets of ballot stock available.
Meanwhile, about half of the 1,162 uncounted ballots from the election were counted by hand. The photocopied ballots are unable to be processed by tabulating machines. Of those ballots, a vast majority were Republican ballots. Only 53 were for Democrats.
"Two judges are reading them off, and two judges (one from each party) are marking the count," Venvertloh said.
He hope election judges will be finished Tuesday, with results being posted on Wednesday.

WEST, Texas (AP) - Authorities say they've received reports of looting in the aftermath of the catastrophic fertilizer plant explosion that's killed as many as 15 people and injured more than 160.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton says there's been "a small amount of looting" in the neighborhoods surrounding the West Fertilizer Co.
Swanton says it's too early to estimate the number of looters but says the reports are "a significant concern to us."
He didn't know if arrests had been made, as the focus of emergency responders is search and rescue. Swanton says at least one person suspected of being a looter was seen running from a damaged home.
Responders are concentrating on a "hard, gut-wrenching job" and Swanton says despite looting reports, "West has seen a tremendous outpouring of support."

AAHA Pets Matter Nov & Dec: I Can Get What From My Pet?!?
Is Your Pet at Risk for an Iron Disorder?
Iron plays a vital role in a large number of metabolic pathways in almost every living organism, and in animals either too much or too little iron can have dire consequences.
I Can Get What From My Pet?!?
Most people know that wild animals can give rabies to people, but what they may not realize is that pets like cats, dogs and birds can pass diseases to people. That may sound scary, but prevention isn't all that hard. Here's what to know about keeping pets and people safe from each other.
Helping Your Itchy Pet
Itching can make pets absolutely miserable, but it is actually a sign of an underlying problem. For example, if the pet has an allergy, exposure to the allergen causes a series of events to happen within the animal's body.
From Abused, Abandoned Puppy to Silver Screen Star
How many times have you seen an animal in a movie or a television commercial and thought, "My dog can do that. He would be a natural in front of the camera." What is a pipe dream for most pet owners became a reality for Janice Norden and her 9-year-old mixed-breed dog, Skeeter. The once abused and abandoned puppy is now a full-fledged celebrity, after landing a starring role in "Walk-Ins Welcome," an independent movie recently filmed in Colorado.

Poetry to remind you to never lose hope, to never adopt the pessimist point of view! We all have a choice in life, pick the optimisit point of view.
The Pessimist
Poet: Unknown
The pessimist's a cheerless man;
To him the world's a place
Of anxious thoughts and clouds and gloom;
Smiles visit not his face.
Though brightest sunshine floods the earth,
And flowers are all ablow,
He spreads depression where he can
By dismal tales of woe.
The pessimist's a hopeless man,
He's full of doubt and fear;
No radian visions come to him
Of glad days drawing near.
The pessimist's a joyless man,
He finds no sweet delight
In making this a happier world,
In fighting for the right
He views the future with alarm
He sees no light ahead;
Most wretched of all men is he,
Because his hope is dead.
Given That We Are
Poet: John McLeod �'
Given that we are so often guided
Let not your heart be sad when cares pile pelf
The road you tread was long ago decided
The hurdles corssed placed surely by yourself
A course of obstacles to test the spirit
Refine the soul and cause the need to strive
Towards the light of God that shines so brightly
From which we came, and where we shall arrive
At journey's end, and after Life's full growing
The bread we cast shall be as was foretold
A measure of the Love we gave in sowing
Returning to enrich ten thousandfold!
Let this poem encourage you not to judge others, and may it be a reminder that we all have strengths and weaknesses.
Take A Walk Around Yourself
Poet: Unknown
When you're criticising others,
And are finding, here and there,
A fault or two to speak of
Or a weakness you can tear:
When you're blaming some one's weakness,
Or accusing some of pelf -
It's time that you went out
To take a walk around yourself.
There's lots of human failures
In the average of us all,
And lots of grave short comings
In the short ones and the tail;
But when we think of evils
Men should lay upon the shelves,
It's time we all went out
To take a walk around ourselves.
We need so often in this life
This balancing of scales,
This seeing how much in us wins
And how much in us fails;
But before you judge another -
Just to lay him on the shelf -
It would be a splendid plan
To take a walk around yourself.
Kind Words
Poet: John McLeod �
Kind words are such a blessing to the needful,
If one but knew the pleasure that they bring
To turn the sadness of a dark day's Winter
Into the glowing life and hope of Spring.
A freely given smile is seed well planted
For when the days of giving are quite gone,
One reaps the ripened harvest of a life-time
And smiling, steps to meet the bright new dawn!
The verses here are also great to include in a card -
graduation, get well, congratulations - no
matter what the occasion you will find poems to inspire and encourage.
To quote the words of encouragement said by William Arthur Ward,
"Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I will not forget you."
Share the words in these poems and you may influence a persons life. And, We agree with the words of Jim Stovall, "You need to be aware of what others are doing, applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes, and encourage them in their pursuits. When we all help one another, everybody wins." We hope our collection give you words to share with others! You may also enjoy our collection of positive thoughts which provide inspirational messages to encourage.

Rainbow Valley comes to Rochester, Kent
The last weekend of June see's us welcoming back Helen Free of Rainbow Valley Crochet. Helen designs unique crochet patterns under the name of Enfys, which I believe is Welsh for rainbow (I'm sure Helen will correct me later if I got it wrong).
Helen was taught to crochet by her Dad but she didn't really take it very seriously until she reached her 20's, round about the same time she bought her home and needed something to occupy her evenings. Helen says that she has always been good at "making things up as she goes along" and soon found that she was getting requests for her patterns and was encouraged to start writing them down and selling them online. Helen has never looked back and continues to design a wide array of crochet patterns, some of which have been featured in Inside Crochet magazine.

Survival by A.M. Hargrove
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was so full of emotion. I laughed, I cried (yep, really did), and then laughed some more!
The characters were well thought out, each with their own personality and each easily identified, which was important in the last chapters where we get different points of view all thrown in together. Surprisingly, the author did a terrific job with that, and it was not confusing at all. You always knew who was speaking all the time; that's sometimes hard to do.
The main character, Maddie, was fun and seemingly carefree, but she had some hurts to get past, namely losing her mom and dad, and really kept her emotions and feelings bottled up. She was so easy to like and so easy to relate to. I felt there were inconsistencies with Maddie's character, though, in that at times she seemed so strong and fiery, able to stand up for herself, and other times it was like she was the one from another planet and too immature for the character that had being built.
Rayn was sweet and caring, definitely a guy you could fall in love with. I loved reading from his point of view the best. He loves Maddie so much but is so conflicted over his feelings for her. In the end, you know that he would do anything for her.
I love having different points of view in a story, and Survival did not disappoint. The author did a great job of transitioning from one point of view to the next without being confusing. The only thing I really did not like was when we switched from Maddie's to Rayn's point of view for the first time we went back and had to re-read everything that had already happened all over again, this time from a different perspective. While that is not always a bad thing, I think that in this book it did not really change anything about the story or give us any new information, other than maybe show us Rayn's feelings for Maddie, which could have been done without going back so far.
One thing that was absolutely amazing in this book was the imagery. The descriptions of the scenery, the mountains, etc., was so beautiful, I wished I was there. The author did a great job creating this world, and even though I'm not a hiker, I could picture the mountains and trails in my head as I was reading.
I really enjoyed the author's writing style. It was simple and easy, which went well with the flow of the story. My only real complaint about this book would be…the end! I cannot believe we were left hanging! Good thing the next book in the series is now out!!

A bureaucrat's endeavours bear fruit
This blog is part of a series on leadership in the Indian bureaucracy and is based on the experiences of senior bureaucrats. The previous blog can be found here.
With his stint in the Girijan Cooperative Corporation of Andhra Pradesh, T. Vijaykumar broke away from the depressing stereotype of a good officer who is in perpetual transition from post to post. With his keen interest in tribal development, Vijay is candid in admitting that he asked his senior in the General Administration Department for the post of Managing Director of the Girijan Cooperative Corporation. This was not considered a glamorous post, so Vijay got the position he wanted.
Vijay realised that the Corporation was motoring along, trading in the produce collected by tribals. Tenders were rigged; traders made the margins and the tribals anyway had little bargaining power and low expectations from the Corporation. Vijay was keen to increase the real incomes of the tribals the Corporation was set up to serve, but any face-to-face confrontation with powerful trader interests would see his exit. Vijay began to study the market intensively, to go past the traders with the knowledge gained. He began to understand the huge price differentials that were dependent upon simple value addition techniques that tribal people could easily understand and implement. He initiated the concept of Community Coordinators, where young professionals from prime universities and institutes of technology spent 3 years in a tribal village working for holistic development.
The success of the Andhra Pradesh approach significantly contributed to the evolution of the national model, namely, the National Rural Livelihoods Mission. Vijay's name was now synonymous with India's rural poverty reduction approach.
The combination of good outreach and good knowledge had a huge beneficial impact of the tribals. Take the major product on which the Corporations commercial fortunes depended- Gum Karaya, an edible gum extracted from trees that was almost wholly exported. Vijay's thrust on research, based on feedback from the market, resulted in a drive to improve handling of the gum at the level of tribal gum collectors. 80 botanists were hired to go into tribal areas to change the implements used by gum collectors and improving the practices of gum drying. GCCs storage facilities were improved, and shipping practices of Mumbai-based exporters changed for the better as well. At a modest investment of Rs 30 lakh, gum quality improved, tripling the prices realised by tribal gum collectors. It was a clear demonstration of how valuable research and an intimate knowledge of the market were in maximising price realisation. Vijay's five year tenure from 1990-1995 ensured that the Girijan Cooperative Corporation transformed from a run-of-the-mill trading company to an institution that delivered substantial profit to tribal people.
Vijay's next big break came when he moved in 2000, to head Andhra Pradesh's Society for the Elimination of Rural Poverty, (SERP). The state-level society, set up as a special mission at arm's length form the government in order to cut through red tape and work more efficiently, was implementing the state's ambitious poverty reduction mission. The focus of the approach was to help poor women to organise themselves into self-help groups, where their thrift and credit activities would blossom into a substantial creation of wealth at their hands, through a basket of support ranging from training, to subsidies to set up businesses and improve skills. In the 10 years (2000 to 2010) that Vijay headed SERP, the poverty reduction programme went from strength-to-strength. The programme was expanded to cover all villages of the state and 1.15 crore rural poor women were enabled and assisted to form and run thrift and credit based self-help groups, which were federated into village, sub-district and district level organisations. As for wealth creation, the results were equally staggering. By March 2014, the self-help groups had cumulatively mobilised bank credit of Rs.65,000 crores in the undivided state of Andhra Pradesh.
The success of the Andhra Pradesh approach significantly contributed to the evolution of the national model, namely, the National Rural Livelihoods Mission. Vijay's name was now synonymous with India's rural poverty reduction approach. He moved to Delhi as Joint Secretary, Ministry of Rural Development and Mission Director, National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM). He led the NRLM for 5 years, rolling out a nation-wide poverty eradication programme based on social mobilisation and empowerment of rural poor women. Over the next 10 to 15 years, this programme aims to reach out to 80 to 100 million rural poor households and stay engaged with these families till they emerge from abject poverty and enjoy a decent quality of life.
After he returned to Andhra Pradesh in 2015, Vijay took over as Special Chief Secretary of the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation. One of the significant achievements of the poverty reduction mission in Andhra Pradesh was the community managed sustainable agriculture (C.M.S.A) programme, through which women SHGs were assisted to take up collective farming. Vijay, based upon this success, turned his attention to low budget natural farming as a way to ensure livelihood and environmental sustainability. After his retirement, Vijay pursues his passion for improving the lot of the poor. The Andhra Pradesh government has appointed him as an Advisor on Agriculture and Cooperation, in charge of implementation of natural farming in the state. He is now involved in a programme of covering 5,00,000 farmers from 1,500 villages in the state to adopt 'zero budget natural farming' and reduce their cultivation costs and risks and increase their yields and incomes, even as soil fertility and quality of chemical free food improves.

Breaking the myth of Fixture Congestion
"It's about resting up and getting ready to go. I don't know about the Premier League but other countries seem to look after their teams representing them in the Champions League. I'm not sure we do so much here."
complained Frank Lampard. But is it the reality? How far do the other countries accommodate their fixtures in accordance with that of Champions League (CL)? Findings on analysis seem to paint a different picture! For this analysis, the scope will be restricted to England, Germany and Spain clubs' (each representing 4 teams in CL) schedules this season (2013-14).
Analyzing the average time between kick-off of CL and other games (League and Cup competitions), the following points are found out:
FIXTURE CONGESTED CLUBS: Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are the clubs with least average time between games. Real Madrid have a deep squad enough to rotate players and play their usual game. Arsenal is already struggling to cope up with the fixtures. Bayern Munich with their strong position in the league can afford to rotate players according to their need.
LEAST AFFECTED CLUBS: Manchester United (Even without the recent fixture adjustment, their numbers are pretty high), Barcelona, Athletico Madrid and Chelsea are the clubs with the highest average resting time between games. The perception of Barcelona and United getting a preference in the fixture scheduling seems true. Frank Lampard's complaint of English clubs not getting the support from The Football Association doesn't seem to be substantiated with facts.
Analysis on averages could be skewed. Hence, it's good to have an eye on the distribution of the time gaps between the games as well.
Real Madrid are the most affected team since they have to play six times with the gap between two games less than 3 days. This is really grueling for the players. Chelsea, though experiences a higher average time gap, is forced four times to play within a span of 3 days. In contrast, Arsenal which had a lower time gap has been forced to play within a span of 3 days only twice.
Although, Chelsea is stressed out with games within 3 days the overall picture suggests it's not very much stressed compared to its peers. If you consider the gap of 4 days, Chelsea enjoys the second best fixture schedule only next to Real Sociedad who are already out of the competition. Even Manchester City schedule is stressed out: for 11 times, 2 games are being scheduled withing a gap of 4 days. The same is the situation of Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. This pattern also hints out that Spain clubs have a better accommodating fixture schedule than England and Germany ones.
If you see the overall picture,
1. German clubs have a tight fixture schedule followed by Spanish clubs and English clubs in terms of average resting time between games.
2. Only 59% of times, Spanish clubs are forced to play 2 games within a time span of 4 days. This is markedly higher for German clubs (73%) and English clubs (66%).
Hence the verdict is,
If at all, there needs to be support from the Football Association in terms of scheduling games in accordance to UEFA Champions League fixtures schedule, it's the German clubs who need more support than English and Spanish clubs from its Football Association.

In another life ...
We are gradually getting pictures up in the new house. I was pleased to find these again amongst the boxes:I stitched these many moons ago, before children, when I could concentrate for more than 5 minutes at a time without interruption! They are tiny samplers, with cross stitch, drawn thread work & all sorts of interesting stitches. I remember enjoying doing these immensely. No more cross stitch for me these days!

Ive spent the morning working on a canvas for my Neice Sam to give to her grandmother as a christmas present, and thought you'd like to see the results.
Its the biggest canvas Ive worked on, usually they are around 12" square. I used K&Co Madeleine papers and accessories, and Prima bling and flowers. The heart and leaf punch are from Martha Stewart. The photos are of Sam's daughter Rachel at her wedding this year to Perry - all the bridesmaids were dressed in white as well as the bride, and they looked fabulous.

Fall is coming and I have been so busy the last weeks so I haven't seen it until now. The crazy thing is that I read other bloggers who wrote and showed photos of it, and than I thought that it hasn't come here yet! But the next day when I went to work, I discovered that the fall was over me everywhere! Of course I miss the wonderful summer weather we have had this year but I do also love the chilly colorful mornings we have now with fresh and clear air.
A good thing about autumn is all the harvest we can do in the garden but also in the forest. When I was a little child I sang a song about "Mrs Chanterelle", I liked it so much even though I hadn't seen it myself in the nature. I didn't taste this golden mushroom until many years later.
When we got these last week we just fried them with butter and salt and put them on a toast and ate them immediately!
