This loaf of bread was created with yeast cultivated from an apple and a jar of water…
…and so was this one…how cool is that???
I saw a mention of yeast water on Instagram so set about investigating it and discovered it's all about capturing the natural yeast in fruit, and literally, all you need is fruit and water. I didn't find any hard and fast rules, just people talking about what they'd done, so I took the ideas and had a go myself.
I washed an apple (to remove any nasties), cut it up, then put it in a jar with water. The jar was clean, but I didn't sterilise it; I used water from the tap because I know that our tap water is okay for my sourdough starter, so I assumed it would be okay for this. You might need to boil and cool some water if yours is heavily chlorinated.
And then I left it, for a week. Initially I thought nothing was happening, I gave it the odd shake, and left it to brew, then the water got cloudy and bubbles began to appear, and eventually the water looked as ready as it might be to my untrained eye…
I then mixed equal parts of water with strong bread flour and left it overnight and this is what happened…
Lovely bubbly starter! I guess you could call it a starter or a biga or a poolish, it's basically flour and water and yeast to create the base of a dough, but in this situation the yeast is wild yeast from fruit. It smells sour like sourdough starter, and acts in pretty much the same way.
Having read about raisin water, halfway through the week I also filled another pot with a handful of dates and some more tap water and this also yielded some lovely yeasted water after 5 days, with which I created this starter…
You can literally see the strength of the yeast!
To create loaves I have followed guidelines that I use for my sourdough loaves. So once you've cultivated the yeast water, this is my suggestion for then making a loaf like this…
Strain 150g of yeast water from the jar and mix well with 150g strong white bread flour
Cover the bowl with a plastic bag and leave on the counter for 12-18 hours
Day two
Your 'starter' should be lovely and bubbly; add 500g strong white bread flour, 280g water and 1 tsp salt
Squidge it all together roughly so that the flour is all covered, then cover the bowl with the plastic bag again and leave it for an hour
After an hour, perform a series of folds and turns in the bowl; you don't need to take the dough out and knead it on a surface, just lift a handful of dough from one side and fold it in, turn the bowl, lift and fold, turn the bowl and repeat until you have a lovely smooth ball of dough
Cover again with the plastic bag and repeat two or three more times over the next few hours
After the last folding, place the dough in a banneton sprinkled with rice flour
Cover with a plastic bag and place in the fridge overnight
Day three
Remove the dough from the fridge and leave on the counter for a few hours to come up to room temperature – if your kitchen is very warm maybe only leave it for an hour or so
Preheat the oven to 250C
When it's ready, turn the dough out into a roaster with a lid, with a layer of baking parchment underneath the dough
Slash the dough
Put the lid on the pan, place it in the oven, turn the temperature down to 220C and bake for 25 mins
Remove the lid, turn the oven down to 180C and bake for 25 mins
Remove and check that if you tap the base of the bread it sounds hollow, and that it doesn't have any soft areas that look uncooked; if you think it needs a couple more minutes, place it directly on an oven rack to finish off
Cool on a rack for a few hours before slicing – if you slice into it too soon, steam can fill the loaf and render it gummy
I have used the water in batches and it continues to be bubbly. I then discarded the apple but next time I would add more water and see if it maintains some strength to use it again. I am also drying out some of the prepared starter to see how it goes, and I've saved some bubbly starter to see if it can be re fed like sourdough starter, I'll let you know about these.
What I can tell you is that my sourdough connoisseur is loving the bread, it's basically a sourdough if you ask me. It smells and behaves the same way. When the dough went in the oven, you could really smell the apple, but the smell and flavour didn't continue into the baked loaf. Apparently some people add more of the fruit water to the dough in place of water to add more flavour to the dough, but I haven't done that yet.
PLEASE NOTE: flours around the world act differently, some require more water, some less. If you know how your flour behaves, keep this in mind. Otherwise, go by feel.
I hope that everyone at this week's Fiesta Friday enjoys my fruit yeast water bread, especially co hosts Liz and Jenny…

Though there are great expectations for Arielle Gold, she tries not to have them for herself.
So when the 16-year-old snowboarder won the first elite-level halfpipe title of her career this month at the FIS Snowboard World Championships at Stoneham, Quebec, it came almost as a surprise.
"It was pretty amazing," Gold said. "I just went there to have fun and try to put down a good run, and it worked out in my favor. I had no expectations. When that happened, I was pretty excited."
Gold became the second-youngest winner of a halfpipe world championships title, male or female, behind China's Jiayu Liu, who won as a slightly younger 16-year-old in 2009.
It marked a coming-out party of sorts for Gold, the reigning junior world champion and double silver medalist at the Winter Youth Olympic Games held last year in Innsbruck, Austria.
This year, she will be competing in a full schedule of major contests all over North America and Europe with the goal of taking her career to the next level.
Her attitude coming into this year is to focus on the long term, not the short term. To practice and compete hard, but not go into a season or contest expecting a certain result.
"I think it's always been good to me to have the mindset of not having expectations, because then I'm not putting too much pressure on myself," she said.
So coming off a fourth-place finish in her previous event, Gold was just hoping to have some great runs in Quebec and perhaps finish on the podium.
Yet she finished with a gold medal, even though the conditions that day were tough. Constant snow had left more than a foot of snow in the bottom of the pipe. So she had to scrap some tricks she had planned because she couldn't get the speed she needed.
"I just made the most of what I had," she said.
"It was running really slow and basically, at that point, I was just putting down a run that was clean and smooth, and that was what the judges were looking for," she added.
Gold turned a 79.0 on her best run in the finals, outscoring Australian veteran Holly Crawford, a two-time Olympian (77.25), and Sophie Rodriguez, another two-time Olympian from France.
Gold finished qualifying in second place, zoomed to the top of the standings with her first run and then held on for the victory.
Then, this past weekend, she scored again.
Gold earned a bronze medal in snowboard superpipe at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo. Originally, she was an alternate for the event, but was added to the competition list when Gretchen Bleiler had to withdraw in the wake of a serious eye injury she suffered last summer.
It was a big deal for Gold to be able to participate in an event she had gone to watch as a spectator last year.
"I just can't believe I'm sitting here," Gold told reporters after her performance Saturday. "There were rumors going around I might get in, but I found out just a couple of days ago."
Added Gold, who also was excited to compete so close to her home: "Riding this pipe, under the lights, with the crowd — all of it is an amazing vibe."
Now, with a big dose of momentum from Quebec and Aspen, Gold will continue an intense schedule that will include stops in Park City, Utah, for the U.S. Grand Prix, Switzerland for the Burton European Open and then a World Cup event at Sochi in Russia, the site for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
She will get a chance to see a venue where she'd definitely like to compete nearly a year from now, but she's not going to get ahead of herself.
"It's always in the back of my head," she said about getting a chance to compete for the United States in the Winter Games. "But I'm just trying to focus on each individual contest rather than thinking that far ahead in the future. I'm just focusing on the present and doing the best I can."
She believes that taking on a busy schedule and competing against the best in the world this year — including the likes of 2006 Olympic halfpipe champ Hannah Teter and '06 Olympic silver medalist and four-time Winter X Games champion Bleiler — will raise her own game.
"I like competing with those types of girls," says Gold, who added that they also have been very welcoming to her. "It's really good motivation getting to watch them ride and just going huge and doing big tricks. It's always been good motivation for me, so I've loved being put in that situation."
Gold says improvements seem to come "in waves." The victory in Quebec and her performance at Aspen was part of one such spell, she said, but she knows it's a series of ups and down.
"It's always riding and falling," she said.
A big step in her growth came in 2012, when she took silver medals in both the halfpipe and slopestyle events at the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in Austria. The whole experience, she said, was like no other.
"It was really cool to get to go and stay not only with athletes in my sport, but athletes from other winter sports," she said. "It was cool getting to meet all of them and learning about their sports, because you don't really see anything from other sports (when competing in snowboard) … luge and things like that that I didn't know anything about."
Gold called it a "mellower version of the Olympic Games."
"I think if it was the actual Olympics I probably would have been a bit more nervous," she said.
Gold, a junior in high school, balances her schoolwork (in online courses) with a heavy travel schedule, which she says can be difficult at times. But she loves traveling. She says she now gets restless if she's in one place for too long now. Often she's accompanied by her parents to contests in the United States, and by her brother Taylor, 19, also a top snowboarder, on most trips.
As she embarks on her heavy travel and competition schedule — with the possibility of earning a spot on the U.S. snowboard team for Sochi — Gold does what she always does.
She puts the expectations aside.
"I always think to myself, you've got plenty of time," she says. "If this contest doesn't work out, there's always the next one."

Cleaning products for mold
Mildew can grow anywhere there is a nice, warm temperature, humidity and shade. It can be easily removed by with bleach solution. Mix one part bleach with 3 parts water.
Most of the times, cleaned spots will need a little painting. You can buy some special additives that prevent mildew from growing. Latex and alkyd paints are excellent because they allow the film to transpire reducing moisture problems. Keeping surfaces clean will keep your house mildew free.
Mildew can grow on any surface, even on fabrics. If cloths are affected by mildew they will have a certain musty smell. But this also happens to old cloths, even if they are not affected bu mildew. You should take them out in the air and sun light. Let them take some air and then you can wash them and also fully dry them.
Mildew can also be present in your kitchen. To avoid using chemicals near your cooking spot, use some backing soda and white vinegar to get rid of mildew.
Always be careful on what cleaners you are using. Sometimes these may be too abrasive for certain surfaces. Always read the information on the cleaners.
A nice way to clean mildew is with a handheld steamer. This will remove not only the mildew, but also any grease, stains from your walls, furniture, etc.

IBM solves world's 'paper or plastic' crisis
Patent may save seconds, lives
Since the dawn of history, mankind has been plagued by an unnecessary burden whilst grocery shopping at their neighborhood supermarket: telling the cashier whether they prefer a paper or plastic bag.
Precious moments are squandered. Moments better spent reading the collected works of Spinoza, curing cancer, building shelters for the homeless, or leveling Night Elf druids in World of Warcraft.
IBM may have discovered a solution to this most grievous of conditions with a US patent approved only yesterday. Let bells ring and the annals of history show that August 5, 2008 was a great day indeed.
Patent 7,407,089 (available here) is a method and system for identifying a customer and displaying whether they like paper or plastic bags without the need for uncomfortable questioning.
From the patent's description:
"However, at conventional retail locations, the customer is likely to be asked for their packaging preference each time the customer passes through a cashier station, resulting in unnecessary inconvenience for both the customer and the cashier.
What is needed is a more flexible system and method for determining packaging preference that overcomes some of these limitations. "
Welcome to the stage of history
Shhh! No more words, only knowledge
According to our admittedly rough calculations, implementation of the system could have a major impact on the grocery business.
Consider: If a customer is standing 3 feet away from the cashier, it would take approximately 0.002665 for the words "paper or plastic?" to reach him at the speed of sound. Factor in a generous one second pause to process the question, it would take roughly 1.0053317 seconds for the full round trip conversation.
But using IBM's technology and assuming the cashier is standing about 1 foot away from her register, it would take a mere 0.000000001016703 seconds for the information to reach her at the speed of light. (Dear pedantic readers: yes, this model takes place in a vacuum. And you know what? I'm not even sorry.)
The point is that about 1.00533169999 seconds are saved per transaction. This could be further improved if IBM were to develop a speedier way for the cashier to communicate the information to the bagger. We're thinking some sort of neural link between all grocery store employees.
Oh, and maybe a death ray for all those charity solicitors standing outside the store. Might as well reach for the stars here. ®

Belt-tightening in both good and bad times is starving the state's future, particularly when it comes to health care and education, according to a new coalition that formed to educate lawmakers "as to what Texas people need and want."
Austere budgets have ruled the day in recent years when economic hard times influenced Texas lawmakers to cut billions from the state budget, including $5.3 billion last year needed to keep public education on pace with enrollment growth.
Texas remains "at the bottom of the barrel" when it comes to providing services for it's citizens, said Eileen Garcia, whose organization, Texans Care for Children, is a member of Texas Forward.
"We are not a poor state," Garcia said earlier today. "We need a balanced approach. It just can't be about cuts."
The group consisting of dozens of organizations, including Children's Defense Fund – Texas, LULAC Texas, Methodist Healthcare Ministries, Christian Life Commission Baptist General Convention of Texas, League of Women Voters, Texas State Teachers Association, Texas AFT – oppose the stockpiling of billions of dollars in the state's Rainy Day Fund. They support tax reform to generate additional revenue by making all business sectors pay their fair share.
Gov. Rick Perry considers education a priority, Perry spokesman Josh Havens said.
"In Texas, we live within our means and don't spend money we don't have," Havens said. "Each session, legislators are required to write a balanced budget that not only meets growing needs of Texas students, but contends with an unsustainable Medicaid program that accounts for 25 percent of general revenue.
"In fact, during Gov. Perry's tenure, public education spending has risen by billions of dollars and at nearly five times the rate of enrollment," Havens said. "The governor is committed to the conservative principles of restrained spending, low taxes, a strong rainy day fund and a skilled workforce that allow employers to create jobs and opportunities for Texans to take care of themselves and their families."
Critics note that increased education spending does not take into account the huge increase in the number of low-income students now filling public schools. Those students are more expensive to educate.
The number of low-income children has increased by 1.1 million since Perry became governor, and low income students now make up slightly more than 60 percent of the public school enrollment.
"I think we can all agree that the success of Texas is critically dependent on both health and education," said Dr. Stephen Pont, a pediatrician at the Dell Children's Medical Center. "They are critically linked. Healthy students do better in school."
An uneducated work force results in low wages and often means no health insurance.
Texas leads the nation with 25 percent of its population lacking health insurance," Dr. Dan Stultz, president and CEO of the Texas Hospital Association said during a media briefing.
The state's ever-growing Medicaid costs help cover some 3.5 million low income Texans, about 75 percent of whom are children, Stultz said.
Texans should not have to choose between education and health care or any other public service, Montserrat Garibay of Education Austin said: "This is a matter of whether our officials will make children a priority."

This is one of my favorite method of preparing zucchini ~ and it is a perfect dinner party side dish, it can be made a day ahead, then baked when you would like to serve it, and kept warm if serving buffet style.
Serve this to zucchini-haters, and you may change their minds! People who claim to dislike zucchini have taken second servings of this one and many ask for the recipe.
Select unblemished medium or small size zucchini, cut them in half from stem to blossom end. Remove seeds and some flesh, leaving a thin shell. Reserve what you scrape out.
Boil in salted water for a couple of minutes until just barely tender.
Then plunge them into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
Place them cut-size down on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to drain.
Besides the zucchini flesh, these are the filling ingredients;
Finely ground almonds, freshly grated parmesan cheese, fine dry bread crumbs,
heavy cream, and salt and pepper:
Whir the reserved zucchini flesh in the food processor until very finely minced. Then saute in butter until very tender and excess moisture has evaporated.
Stir in almonds and allow to cook for a minute or two.
Stir in cream, allow it to warm and evaporate just a bit.
Then stir in Parmesan Cheese and Bread Crumbs, then remove from heat.
Stir again until Parmesan is melted. Taste for seasonings; add pepper and salt if needed.
You may need to add more cream if mixture is too thick.
Arrange the prepared zucchini "boats" in a baking pan. (I lightly butter the pan first.)
At this point you can either pipe the filling into the "boats", or simply spoon it in. I usually pipe it in ~ I always need practice with my piping "skills" because I'm not very good at it. This filling is more forgiving than whipped cream or cake frosting, so it doesn't matter if it's perfect.
I used the tip on the left this time.
Have fun with the piping! They don't have to be perfect...
As you can see! :) I need much more practice.
It really is fun to pipe the fillings, but if you fill them with a spoon they will be just as delicious.
Then just bake them off until heated through, then run them under the broiler to allow the filling to brown lightly. The recipe directs to bake in a bain marie (hot water bath), and that's the way I usually do it. But I've baked them without the bain marie; the difference was barely perceivable, so the choice is yours.
Here's the recipe:
Parmesan-Almond Zucchini Boats
6 Servings
3 to 4 medium size, firm zucchini, with skin
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup ground almonds; I prefer using blanched (skinned) almonds. Readily available at your local health food store. (I whirl them in food processor until finely ground, then set aside.)
[This time I used unblanched, the color of the filling is just be a bit darker, and the unblanched aren't quite as fine tasting, also they do not quite "pipe" as neatly or evenly, so if perfect presentation is important to you.] Try to use the blanched almonds if you can find them.
1/2 cup heavy cream, sometimes you need to add a little more
1/4 to 1 teaspoon salt (Original recipe called for 1 teaspoon. I reduce this amount substantially because of the saltiness of the Parmesan cheese, so start with less, then add it to your taste.)
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (not too tightly packed in measuring cup)
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs (preferably plain--with no seasoning added, but seasoned will do.)
Wash zucchini, and wipe with paper towel.
Trim and discard zucchini ends. Cut each zucchini in half (the long way).
Using a melon baller or small sharp-tipped spoon, scoop out inner meat and seeds of each, leaving a thin shell.
Place scooped-out centers into a food processor pulse/puree until well chopped. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch zucchini boats just until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Immediately refresh in a bowl of iced water. Drain and arrange, skin side down, in a jelly roll pan, baking dish or roasting pan so they fit without crowding.
If you are going to bake them right after assembly preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add reserved chopped zucchini and saute until liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. (It may not take that long, so keep an eye on it and stir every so often so it doesn't burn.)
Stir in ground nuts, cook for 1 minute or so, then add cream, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook until cream thickens, about 3 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and all bread crumbs. Remove from heat and stir until smooth.
Using a tablespoon or pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, stuff zucchini boats with cream mixture. (Or you can simply carefully spoon filling in with a teaspoon.)
Place the baking pan/dish containg the zucchini into a larger baking pan so you can make a water bath. Pour very hot water into the larger, bottom pan (not the one containing the zucchini) until it rises about 1/4-inch, to form a water bath. I've baked them without the Bain Marie (hot water bath), and they are perfectly acceptable.
Bake 15 minutes in preheated oven.
Heat broiler. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over tops and place under broiler until slightly golden, about 1 minute.
Serve immediately.
Make Ahead Notes: These can be prepared and stuffed ahead of time, up to 1 day.
Keep covered and refrigerated until ready to bake. Take from refrigerator about 20 minutes before you want to bake them. You may need to add a few minutes baking time to assure they heat all the way through.
Yields about 6 servings.
Recipe inspired by the TOO HOT TAMALES, Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken

Johnny Carson once said he could walk down any street anywhere in the world outside of the U.S. and never be recognized because his show never played anywhere but here. But it's hard to imagine any popular culture figure who was ever more globally beloved than Julia Child, whose 100th birthday would have been today. Indeed, she might well have been better known to more people around the world over nine decades than almost any other celebrity. Certainly no one's ever made a movie like Julie & Julia about Johnny Carson or even Frank Sinatra, for that matter.
Yet Julia, all six-foot-two of her, was very much known to chefs all around the world, and her book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, sold millions of copies and was widely translated around the world. Who hasn't in a silly moment imitated Julia's swooping contralto? Who doesn't still fall down laughing at Dan Aykroyd's impersonation of her on Saturday Night Live, slicing off her finger but blithely going on with the cooking lesson? And, really, who doesn't have a Julia Child moment to recall?
Mine was a moment that completely changed my life, but not in a gastronomic way. When I was about 23, I had a date with a girl at Manhattanville College and, for reasons I cannot imagine, offered to make a chocolate soufflé in her dorm, which was equipped with a kitchenette.
I had never made a chocolate soufflé in my life and hadn't a clue how to do so. But I remembered seeing Julia Child, on black-and-white TV out of Boston's PBS station, make one, and it seemed so ridiculously simple. So I picked up my mother's copy of Mastering the Art off the shelf, bought some dark chocolate and eggs, packed up some bowls, and headed for the school.
Well, the damned thing came out perfect — a high, fluffy rise, with an intense gooey center, lavished with whipped cream. My date and her friends dug in, and then, into the dorm came walking the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. Her name was unpronounceable — Galina Stepanoff-Dargery — Russian and French. She grew up in Paris. I asked her if she'd like to try my chocolate soufflé. She did, and nodded mild approval.
The next day, I called her and, using a line that has ever since made me cringe, asked, "If you liked my chocolate soufflé, perhaps you'd like my company for dinner?" Galina later told me she thought I was a little strange, since not too many guys in those days could cook French toast, let alone a French soufflé, but she accepted the date anyway, and, as they say, the rest is history: I courted and married the girl, had two sons, and just celebrated our 35th anniversary. By the way, my wife is a painter and has done whole series of paintings about women and food.
Once, at a dinner in Julia's honor, having gotten to know her over the years that I became a food writer, I got up and told this story, saying at the end, "So, had it not been for Julia Child, I never would have met my wife and never would have had my sons. Thanks, Julia, for changing my life with your chocolate soufflé."
Julia stood up, blinked into the lights, and in that inimitable, cartoon-like voice, said, "Well... that's just aw-fully nice, John. A love-ly story. Glad I could be of some help."
Happy Birthday, Julia.

I bought this shock cord from Ebay and it's really nice and available in different colors.
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." -Terry Pratchett
Premium Quality, Fresh Roasted Coffee
I just installed the shock cord tensioners on my SWT using HC4U's method. It was a breeze. I got the shock cord at Hancock fabrics ($0.74 / yd). I have to admit that looking at the directions above the clove hitch looks like it would let the shock cord slip through, especially when there isn't tension on the knot, but I was wrong. The clove hitch seems to hold really well so far.
This is a real newbie type question: I assume that you don't install tensioners on the ridge lines of the tarp. Is that correct?
Thanks for the tip and I appreciate the good instrucions and knot tying how-to!
Not necessary on the ridge. Nice aren't they?
Trust nobody!
When I made my DIY SWT recently I put tensioners on the 4 corners. However, I only used a single piece of bungee cord rather that doubling it up. I tied one end to the D-Ring with an Anchor Hitch (or Anchor Bend) and a Double Fisherman's Bend to connect the other end to the tie out line about 10-12" out.
It has worked quite well so far.
"Work to Live...Don't Live to Work!"
Great, simple mod! Thanks for the instructions. I can't wait to get this on the trail.
this has given me a great project learning class for my scouts!!!! Gotta go find Ace hardware for the shockcord.....
The pictures here are fantastic, I can put them up at our meeting straight from my computer and believe me, a picture is worth a thousand words when dealing with teenaged boys!!!
I made these too and they worked out great!
has anyone had any issues with too much tension?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Long before he joined the U.S. Senate, John Kerry made a name for himself by testifying before a Senate committee as a Vietnam veteran.
It was in 1971 that Kerry, then 27, appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to speak out against U.S. policy in Vietnam.
His stance drew attention both because of his military record -- he had served as an officer in the Navy and had been awarded a Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple hearts -- and his background. Kerry was a Yale University graduate, his mother came from the prominent Forbes family, and his father was in the Army Air Corps in World War II.
"How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" Kerry asked the senators, a line that drew widespread notice and commentary at the time.
Today, Kerry, 60, is serving his fourth term in the U.S. Senate and is the junior senator from Massachusetts. And, after a roller-coaster primary season, he has wrapped up the Democratic party's 2004 presidential nomination.
"This campaign is about giving our country back its future and its truth," Kerry said in a March 14, 2003, speech in California, "about making America safer, stronger and more secure, about who is ready to lead America in the right direction."
Kerry's first foray into politics was not successful. He lost a 1972 bid for Congress.
After attending law school, he began his public career in 1976 as a prosecutor in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Organized crimes was one of his targets.
In 1982, he was elected Massachusetts lieutenant governor. In 1984 he was first elected to the U.S. Senate.
In both of those elections, notes The Almanac of American Politics, he upset a favored Democratic rival for the party's nomination.
Kerry's voting record is generally liberal, similar to that of his more senior colleague, Edward Kennedy. Americans for Democratic Action, a liberal political group, gave Kerry an 85 percent rating in 2002 and a 95 percent rating in 2001. Kennedy, by comparison, got 100 percent in both years.
In the Senate, Kerry has taken the lead on several investigations, including probes of banking scandals and an examination on whether there were any Americans being held as prisoners of war in Vietnam. The POW investigation found "no compelling evidence" that any remained.
Kerry also has made education a priority in the Senate, sometimes -- as described by The Almanac of American Politics -- parting company with fellow Democrats on issues such as teacher tenure.
Kerry voted against committing U.S. troops in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, but he supported the October congressional resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq.
Even so, Kerry has emerged as a harsh critic of the current Bush administration's Iraq policy, drawing unflattering comparisons with U.S. policy in Vietnam. He has faulted Bush for not working more closely with other allies on Iraq and said the administration lacks a coherent plan on "winning the peace."
Kerry is married to Teresa Heinz Kerry and has two daughters by a previous marriage. His wife is the widow of GOP Sen. John Heinz of Pennsylvania and has an estimated fortune of $600 million.
Kerry underwent surgery for a cancerous prostate in February, but he returned to the campaign trail within weeks with a clean bill of health from his doctors.

Our food is laden with additives, many times in order to preserve it. But some of the disadvantages of these substances outweigh the benefits. Here are the top 5 that made our list — we'll let you decide if they're worth it.
Summer is peak season for grilling up hot dogs, but their bright-red color is compliments of nitrites, which have been linked to cancer. You can also find this additive in bacon, cured meats, sausage, ham and smoked fish.

"How would you suggest politely ask people to visit your site, and do you think they are likely to actually do so?
Thanks, Matt
I am sure that every actor has grappled with this concern at least once in his/her life: How do you promote yourself without seeming too needy or pushy. First, let's talk about where you can promote your website, and then we'll discuss the "how."
Places to Promote Your Website
• Social Networks
Your blog, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, FourSquare, MySpace, and other places where you interact with people online
• Casting Websites
IMDB, Actors Access, Backstage, Now Casting, LACasting, NYCasting, etc.
• Your newsletters/updates
Whenever you send out announcements about your projects
• Printed Marketing Materials
Postcards, Business Cards, Resume
• Search Engines
Google, Yahoo, etc -- make sure your website is added to their databases
• Your Email Signature
That section automatically added to the bottom of each email you send
• Your Email Address
If you have a professional website, you should also have an email address associated with that website, eg: firstname.lastname@example.com
The "How" of Promoting Your Website
The key to good marketing and PR involves understanding your audience and having a steady and simple plan of action. We already discussed the places you can promote your website, so you now have a good sense of creating a steady presence. To keep your messages simple, you now need to keep the message Targeted, Understated and Succinct.
• Targeted
In marketing, we explain effective communications as: "The right message, to the right person, at the right time." When you first launch your website, or have any major updates, consider sending an email to everyone on your list to announce what they can find on the site. By "List" I mean, anyone who has a direct interest in your acting career: close friends, family, fellow actors, industry folks. Really think about for whom your website is useful, and delete anyone from the list who might not be interested.
To make this possible, consider having an opt-in newsletter, and/or professional page on Facebook, which will allow people to "opt-in" to receive communications from you regarding your acting career. (Twitter is already an "opt-in" system, where people choose to follow you.) To create an opt-in system, you simply need to send an invitation to folks (either by email or Facebook's invite system) and ask them if they'd like to be included. Save the email addresses of those who "opt-in" to a special list, and only that list will receive these kind of communications. You can do this through a traditional email program, or you can pay for a newsletter service like iContact to manage and send communications to your list.
If you handle your contacts in this way, you never have to worry that your message is reaching the wrong audience. The next step is to make sure you are messaging them with relevant information. If this is a mailing list for your acting career, don't bombard them with non-acting related requests or information. This is what "targeting" is all about, and it will help guarantee that they will stop by your website when requested.
• Understated
One of the things that actors fear most when promoting themselves is looking pushy or arrogant. So when you are promoting your website, make sure your communications are understated. One of the easiest ways to do this is to think about your audience and what their needs are. What would they need to know about you that can offer some kind of support to them? If you start thinking about the needs of your list members, it will be easier to compose your communications. With regard to website promotion, here are some ideas as to why some people on your list might want to know about your website:
Friends/Family - They may want to see all of the exciting things happening in your career (some even living vicariously through you!)
Fellow Actors - Many actors refer their friends for jobs, and it is important that they have your web address in case there's a potential job you might be right for.
Industry Folks - This goes without saying -- these folks need to know where they can find your resume, headshots and examples of your work.
Again, if you put the other person first in your communications (be via email, social network, in writing or networking in person), you will easily avoid feeling like you are showing off or pandering to others.
• Succinct
This has many meanings, but ultimately it means that you want to avoid beating people over the head with multiple messages or longwinded content. You may wonder, "How can I tell if my message is succinct?" There's a special trick to determining what is right for you and your business -- When thinking about marketing, remember that you are a consumer too. You receive communications from businesses every day- through commercials, emails, advertising in magazines, on billboards, mailing ("junk" or otherwise,) and so on. Think about what works for you, and what doesn't. My guess is that when you see the same message over and over, you become "delete" happy. And when someone gushes on and on about themselves, you probably want to grab yourself a barf bag. Neither of these situations bode well for developing a supportive fan base.
When you send these updates, make sure that your website is listed, front and center, so that they'll know where to find further information. But keep your communications short and sweet. Nowadays people are contending with hundreds of emails per day, and the short time you have their attention is precious. Consider using your website to house the full information about an event or update, and use an email, postcard, or status update to encourage people to visit your website for more information.
Just as important, don't send the same message over and over. Sure, you want people to view your website and all of the wonderful things it has to offer. But if you send that communication over and over with the same information, you're going to irritate your audience. Think about those times when you see the same commercial several times during a TV show. It becomes annoying and usually pushes the audience away from the product/company rather than toward it.
I hope this has been a helpful answer to your question, Matt. And for those of you who want to discuss this topic further, please feel free to leave a comment and I'll respond as soon as I can.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A California state senator was charged Friday with accepting $100,000 in bribes, lavish trips and no-show jobs for his children in exchange for pushing legislation to benefit a hospital engaged in billing fraud and participating in a film industry tax scheme that actually was an FBI sting.
The 24-count federal indictment against Sen. Ron Calderon, a Democrat from a politically prominent family in Los Angeles' blue-collar suburbs, depicts a rogue legislator eager to trade his clout at the state capitol to enrich himself and his family. His brother Tom, a former state lawmaker-turned-lobbyist, was charged with money-laundering for funneling bribes through a tax-exempt group he controlled, prosecutors said.
"When public officials choose to callously betray the trust of the people they serve and selfishly abuse the privileges of public office, then we will take all necessary steps to hold those persons fully accountable for their behaviour," U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte said.
The charges come after a long-running corruption investigation that has tarnished the state's majority party — Democrats hold every statewide office and control both chambers in the Legislature. The charges also threaten the patriarchs of a family that rose to political prominence from the heavily Hispanic, working-class communities southeast of Los Angeles.
"Because they knew how to run elections and they knew how to speak to a newly incorporating group, Latinos, they knew how to get people elected," said political scientist Fernando Guerra, director of the Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University. For any would-be candidate around their home base "you needed their support."
Ron Calderon has denied wrongdoing. His attorney, Mark Geragos, did not return repeated telephone messages but planned to issue a statement later Friday.
Tom Calderon's attorney, Shepard Kopp, said his client would fight the charges. Tom Calderon appeared in court in handcuffs on Friday and pleaded not guilty to seven counts of money laundering and one count of conspiracy to launder money. His bail was set at $25,000 and he was ordered to surrender his passport, stay in the continental U.S. and appear for a jury trial starting April 15.
"Every single action they describe my client as having taken was done with innocent intent and no knowledge that there was anything illegal about any of these acts," Kopp said in a telephone interview. "The indictment alleged that he knew that there were payments being made that were bribes or money that was being paid so that he would take some kind of legislative action. Nothing could be further from the truth."
If convicted on all counts, Ron Calderon, who is expected to surrender Monday, could face nearly 400 years in federal prison. His brother, if convicted, could face a maximum penalty of 160 years in confinement, prosecutors said.
State Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, speaking on behalf of the chamber's Democratic caucus, called on Calderon to resign or take a leave of absence.
"Given the seriousness of charges that strike at the very heart of what it means to be a public official, Senator Calderon's continued service is a cloud over all the important work that we must get done this year," Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said in a statement.
The indictment details a rampant pay-to-play culture in which Ron Calderon used his influence in the Legislature to extract money or other financial benefits from those who wanted favours.
Those bribes, prosecutors said, included trips to Las Vegas, flights on privately chartered planes and jobs for Ron Calderon's son and daughter in which they were paid but did little, if any, work. The film studio, an FBI ruse, hired his daughter for a $3,000-a-month job, and a Long Beach hospital executive involved in the medical scam hired his son for three summers at a rate of $10,000 per summer, the indictment said.
The indictment alleges Ron Calderon took money from an undercover FBI agent who posed as the owner of a Los Angeles movie studio and sought Calderon's help promoting a bill that would expand tax credits for the film industry.
A related filing in Sacramento federal court said Calderon flew to Las Vegas on May 4 to meet with two undercover agents, one of whom he believed was the owner of the film studio in Los Angeles and the other whom he thought was a film investor. He was met at the Bellagio Hotel by two other FBI agents who "explained to Calderon that they worked for the FBI's public corruption squad and had been investigating Calderon for quite some time."
He was interviewed for about three hours but was not arrested.
"The FBI agents offered Calderon the opportunity to co-operate in their investigation but made it very clear that they were prepared to move forward with their investigation if Calderon turned down their offer," according to the filing.
"Despite his purported desire to co-operate with the government, Calderon claimed that the information he could provide to the FBI agents would be of little value," the filing says. Agents met with him five more times in May.
Ron Calderon repeatedly offered to wear a transmitting device, though he said he would not record family members. He did record one person on two occasions, the filing says, though it does not say if the person was a public official. Those recordings did not result in any charges, the filing says.
Calderon claimed he was ill on the day he was supposed to record the person for a third time, and broke off his co-operation, the filing says.
The indictment also says Ron Calderon accepted money from a Long Beach hospital executive to promote legislation that would have been favourable to the hospital.
Bills related to both issues never made it out of the Legislature.
Calderon was stripped of his legislative committee assignments in November, and the Senate Select Committee on Film and Television Industries that he chaired was disbanded.
After that action, Calderon responded by trying to tar the Senate's two leading Democrats. His attorney filed documents in federal court in Sacramento saying a raid on his Capitol office came after he refused FBI requests to wear a recording device and act as an informant against Steinberg, the Senate president, and Sen. Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles, another Democrat.
That was echoed by Kopp, Tom Calderon's lawyer, who said outside court that the case "is payback by the government for the refusal of Ronald Calderon to participate in their sting."
Steinberg and de Leon, who is in line to succeed Steinberg as the Senate's leader later this year, have said federal prosecutors have told them they are not targets of the investigation at this time.
In the midst of an election year, it was difficult to gauge whether other Democrats could suffer political fallout from the Calderon case, said San Jose State University political science professor Larry Gerston. Another Democrat, Sen. Roderick Wright, was convicted last month of voter fraud and perjury for lying about the location of his Los Angeles County residence. He has been allowed to remain in office while awaiting sentencing in May.
"I think it certainly gives Republicans an opening to talk about the 'culture of corruption' that results with one-party government," Gerston said. "Just how much damage it does is hard to tell, but I'd clearly like to be in the Republican camp rather than the Democratic camp because they're clearly on the defensive."
Thompson reported from Sacramento. Associated Press writers Linda Deutsch and Robert Jablon contributed to this report.

Srila Prabhupada: The Prominent Link
by Dhira Govinda dasa
Recently I had the good fortune to meet one of my God brothers, Dhira Govinda Prabhu. It was on the appearance day of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur. I had heard of him and had posted the following article some time back and had read some of his book "Srila Prabhupada; The Prominent Link", but had not meet him yet. But I found him to be a very nice devotee of good character. Just to give his voice a broader rang we decided to post his book Srila Prabhupada The Prominent Link as well as the Prominent Link Supplementary Articles Click on either of the above links to read or save the pdf files.
Many members of Srila Prabhupada's movement who did not receive formal initiation from him experience Srila Prabhupada as the primary giver of direct transcendental knowledge. This empirical reality forms the basis of recognizing Srila Prabhupada as the prominent link to the parampara. Such a conception is supported by sastric descriptions of the essence of the initiation process, and by the delineation of the parampara described by Srila Prabhupada and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura.
This paper presents a framework for understanding Srila Prabhupada's position that is derived from a comprehension of Srila Prabhupada's direct and personal relationship with the members of his movement. The central idea is that Srila Prabhupada is the prominent link to the parampara by virtue of being the prime deliverer of transcendental knowledge. We present these ideas in a mood of open-minded discussion and ask that the reader approach the material with a fresh perspective and a willingness to reexamine the issues.

The silent 'ka-ching!' at conventions
Another humid August, a long time ago, and I was working in my father's Canandaigua drugstore, the last summer before my first year of high school.
Today, cash registers are as computerized as ATMs. Back then, they were electrically powered, but you still had to do a lot of the calculating in your head, which is why my dad tended to keep his not-so-mathematically-inclined son in the back of the store, away from the receipts. With my nimble fingers on the register keys, I was capable of trying to charge you $1,398.06 for a pack of Camels.
That summer, New York state and Canandaigua each instituted a sales tax, a development for which our cash registers were unsuited — they couldn't calculate percentages. So we had a chart, which we'd consult after ringing up a sale, at which point we'd add on the pennies and nickels of tax and throw them, separately, into shoeboxes.
Further jumbling this awkward system was the list of what was or was not taxable, some of which seemed to have been determined by rounds of darts in Albany, the state capital. Chewing gum was taxable, unless it was Beeman's Gum, which was invented by a doctor and contained pepsin, so not taxed. Insulin wasn't taxed either, but the syringes to administer it, were.
So, in that spirit of governmental randomness, as the Democratic and Republican conventions begin in Denver and St. Paul, I give you the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007.
The law has much to recommend it, outlawing gifts from lobbyists for members of Congress and their staffs. That includes the extravagant parties that trade associations, law firms, advocacy organizations, unions and other lobby groups used to throw at the conventions for the most influential, individual senators and representatives.
The problem is that many of the new law's rules are so arcane and convoluted it would take a team of forensic accountants and Talmudic scholars to properly interpret them. The "toothpick rule," for example, bans Congress members and their aides from accepting a free meal, but they can snarf up as many free hors d'oeuvres as they like — as long as they're standing up and not sitting down. No forks, no chairs and you may be within the law.
Unless. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported one party planner for the Republican convention was told that under the law quesadillas with cheese qualified as legal finger food but including beef or chicken would make them an illicit meal.
All hellishly good-intentioned, perhaps, but there are loopholes in the law through which you can drive a Brink's truck. A corporation or other lobby group can no longer celebrate the achievements of one individual congressperson with a big gala, but an entire delegation can be honored — as long as no specific members are named on the invitations or in the programs or during the speeches.
So, U.S. Bank and Visa are hosting a party at the Democratic convention for the freshman House Democrats. AT&T, which has given $3.2 million to Federal candidates in this election cycle, and spent millions more on lobbying, is co-sponsoring a party in Denver for the conservative Blue Dog Democrats.
In addition, as per the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, because of exceptions allowed by the Federal Election Commission, "Millions of unregulated dollars are being funneled to the national party conventions through so-called, nonpartisan 'host committees.' These committees claim to be helping Denver and the Twin Cities, but they are really just using the sizable donations for political purposes."
There will be more than 400 parties and other events at the Democratic and Republican conventions. Corporations and other special interests will contribute more than $100 million. That can buy a lot of influence. Just a few of the others involved: the Nuclear Energy Institute, Wachovia, Union Pacific, ConocoPhillips, Eli Lilly, Qwest, Target, SEIU, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Amanda Burk, a Denver party planner, told The New York Times, "We're trying to comply with the law and still make sure people get enough to eat." Ms. Burk, you've got nothing to worry about. Unlike the more than 37 million Americans who live below the poverty level, lobbyists and the fat cats they represent will never go hungry. Like water inexorably seeking its level, eroding as it travels, they will find a way.
My dad wouldn't have let these guys anywhere near his cash registers.
Michael Winship, a native of Canandaigua, is senior writer of the weekly public affairs program "Bill Moyers Journal," which airs Friday night on PBS.

COLLEGE STATION – A look at the past and future aspects of beef cattle production in Texas will be one of the highlights at the 60th Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course scheduled Aug. 4-6 at Texas A&M University in College Station.
"Cattle production in Texas has certainly been a sea of change over the past five years," said Dr. Jason Cleere, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service beef cattle specialist in College Station and conference coordinator. "We think beef short course attendees will want to learn more about what is ahead of us in terms of cattle inventories and how quickly we might rebuild cow herds. And, of course, we certainly are keeping a close eye on the cost of production and how we can fine tune our operations to improve the bottom line."
The short course has become one of the largest and most comprehensive beef cattle educational programs in the U.S., Cleere noted.
R.C. Slocum, former Texas A&M head football coach and Central Texas rancher, will be one of the featured speakers during the general session on Aug. 4. Slocum will discuss winning and losing in the cattle business, giving first-hand perspectives on the challenges of ranching in today's economic climate.
The cattleman's college portion of the short course provides participants with an opportunity to choose workshops based on their level of production experience and the needs of their ranch, Cleere said.
"These concurrent workshops will feature information on introductory cattle production, retiring to ranching, forage management practices, nutrition and reproduction, record keeping, genetics, purebred cattle, landowner issues and much more," he said.
In addition to classroom instruction, participants can attend one of the popular demonstrations on the morning of Aug. 6.
"There will be demonstrations on fence building, chute-side calf working, cattle behavior, penning and Brush Busters," Cleere said. "These provide an opportunity for ranchers to see beef cattle production practices put to use.
"The goal of the short course each year is to provide the most cutting-edge information that is needed by beef cattle producers. We think we have information for everyone to take home and apply to their operations."
Participants can receive the Texas Department of Agriculture private pesticide applicator's license training during the short course and can earn at least seven pesticide continuing education units if they are already licensed, Cleere added.
An industry trade show will be held during the event, featuring more than 120 agricultural businesses and service exhibits.
Registration is $180 per person and includes educational materials, a copy of the 600-page Beef Cattle Short Course proceedings, trade show admittance, admission to the prime rib dinner, lunches, breakfasts and daily refreshments.
Registration information and a tentative schedule will be mailed to previous participants in May, but also can be found on the short course website at http://beef.tamu.edu.
Producers can also register by contacting Cleere's office at 979-845-6931.

Why Leaders Need to Learn How to Get Angry Without Being Stupid
Three ways to avoid crossing the line.
One of the topics I regularly discuss with participants in my leadership workshops is whether or not they should show their anger or frustration when things don't go well. Most of the time most of the people begin by saying that that's not an effective leadership move. But when they think about it a little bit more, many acknowledge that there are times when leaders need to show their anger.
Recently, I had the chance to talk shop on this topic with a fellow leadership coach, consultant and author, Henry Evans. Henry is the co-author with Colm Foster of a new book called Step Up: Lead in Six Moments that Matter.
The way Henry and Colm describe that first moment is "get angry, not stupid."
In this audio excerpt from our conversation, Henry explains when and why it's necessary for leaders to show their anger. Of course, if you're going to go that route, you don't want to be stupid about it. Henry offers three important tips for how to stay on the right side of that line.

When we saw the '73 Plymouth Scamp last week, I promised we'd try to put a dent in the unfortunate deficit of Chrysler A-bodies in this series. So, reaching into my stash of DOTS photos (I ain't sayin' how many I have, but you can count on seeing an Alameda street survivor each day for quite a while), I'm presenting this proud '64 Dart 270.
Sometimes it seems that the 1964-66 Mopar A-bodies get overlooked, being overshadowed by the wonderfully nutjob toilet-seat-on-the-trunklid styling of the early 60s Darts and Valiants and the angular look of the ones that followed. Still, they weren't exactly wallflowers.
The 270 was the mid-priced Dart for '64, placed between the cheapskate 170 and the upscale GT.
Standard engine was the 170-cube Slant Six, and you really couldn't go wrong with that engine choice; generally the engine was the last thing to die on these cars. Of course, some opted for the 225 six or the damn-near-as-reliable 273 V8; yes, you could get one with a 4-speed!
Those headlights look a bit owlish, but it's a distinctive look.
Not quite as many Darts were hooned into freeway abutments as their Chevy II counterparts; couple that with the immortal Slant Six and it's no shock that plenty of these cars still roam the streets (well, in rust-free areas, anyway). The old yellow-on-black plates tell us this car has spent its entire life in California.

'Wife Swap' Producers Sue Fox Over Show
LOS ANGELES – The British producers of the ABC television show "Wife Swap" (search) have filed suit over the Fox show "Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy," (search) lambasting it as an illegal rip-off.
RDF Media asked a federal court Wednesday for more than $18 million in damages plus all "gains, profits and advantages" derived from the Fox show. The suit targets Fox Broadcasting and the show's producers.
The lawsuit claims the show, produced by Rocket Science Laboratories, "more aptly might be entitled 'Trading Copyrights' or perhaps 'Copyright Swap,'" and calls the Fox series "a blatant and wholesale copycat" of "Wife Swap."
Fox spokesman Scott Grogan said the network had not seen the lawsuit and could not comment.
"Wife Swap" first aired in Britain in 2003, where it was a hit. ABC bought the U.S. rights and announced its plans to air its own version, titled "Trading Moms."
In June, Fox announced plans to air its own version of the show with the title "Trading Spouses." Its show was widely criticized in the press as a copycat version of the planned ABC show.
ABC later changed the name of its program to avoid confusion with the Fox version, which aired first.
ABC is not a party in the lawsuit, but said in a statement: "We respect our producing partner's right to protect their intellectual property in whatever manner they deem most appropriate."
Earlier this year, producers of NBC's upcoming "The Contender" asked a judge to force Fox to edit allegedly unlawful bouts out of "The Next Great Champ" before it airs.
The producers claimed that "The Next Great Champ" was produced on a "rushed and frenzied basis" to beat NBC's series to the air and violated state boxing regulations.
Their attempt to keep the Fox show off the air was unsuccessful, although the series was a flop. NBC's "The Contender" begins airing in February.
