Iron Dextran complex injection (iron hydrogenated dextran), a sterile solution containing ferric hydroxide in complex with a low molecular weight dextran fraction equivalent to 200 mg elemental iron per mL with 0.5% phenol as a preservative. Intended for the prevention or treatment of anemia in baby pigs caused by iron deficiency.
Description: Uniferon® 200 is a sterile solution containing ferric hydroxide in complex with a low molecular weight dextran fraction equivalent to 200 mg elemental iron per mL with 0.5% phenol as a preservative.
Actions. Injectable Uniferon® 200 is easy and economical to use. Injection into the ham is rapid, safe, effective, quickly absorbed by the blood and goes to work immediately. With injectable Uniferon® 200, the right dosage can be given to every animal with assurance that it will be utilized. Iron deficiency anemia occurs commonly in the suckling pig, often within the first few days following birth. As body size and blood volume increase rapidly from the first few days following birth, hemoglobin levels in the blood fall due to diminishing iron reserves which cannot be replaced adequately from iron in the sow's milk. This natural deficiency lowers the resistance of the pig and scours, pneumonia or other infections may develop and lead to death of the animal. Pigs not hampered by iron deficiency anemia are more likely to experience normal growth and to maintain their normal level of resistance to disease. Adequate iron is necessary for normal, healthy, vigorous growth.
Indications: Uniferon® 200 is intended for the prevention or treatment of anemia in baby pigs due to iron deficiency.
Notice: Organic iron preparation injected intramuscularly into pigs beyond 4 weeks of age may cause staining of the ham muscle.
Dosage and Administration: For the prevention of anemia due to iron deficiency, administer an intramuscular injection of 200 milligrams of elemental iron (1 mL) at 1 to 3 days of age. For the treatment of anemia due to iron deficiency, administer an intramuscular injection of 200 milligrams of elemental iron (1 mL) at the first signs of anemia.
Directions For Use: Disinfect rubber stopper of vial as well as site of injection. Use small needle (20 gauge 5/8 inch) that has been sterilized (boiled in water for 20 minutes). Injection should be intramuscular into the back of the ham. Place tension on the skin over the rear of the ham and inject to a depth of 1/2" or slightly more.
Uniferon® 200 cannot be considered a substitute for sound animal husbandry. If disease is present in the litter CONSULT A VETERINARIAN.
Side Effects: Occasionally, pigs may show a reaction to injectable iron, clinically characterized by prostration with muscular weakness. In extreme cases, death may result.
How Supplied: Uniferon® 200 Injection, 200 mg/mL is available in 100 mL multidose vials.
Uniferon® is a Trademark of Pharmacosmos A/S.
Tylan 200 Injectable 250 ml.


Achromatic parvocellular contrast gain in normal and color defective observers: Implications for the evolution of color vision.
The PC pathway conveys both chromatic and achromatic information, with PC neurons being more responsive to chromatic (L-M) than to achromatic (L+M) stimuli. In considering the evolution of color vision, it has been suggested that the dynamic range of chromatic PC-pathway processing is tuned to the chromatic content of the natural environment. Anomalous trichromats, with reduced separation of their L- and M-cone spectral sensitivities, have diminished chromatic input to PC-pathway cells. Dichromats, with absent L or M cones, should have no chromatic input to PC-pathway cells. Therefore, the PC-pathway dynamic range of color defectives should be released from any constraint imposed by the chromatic environment. Here we ask whether this results in compensatory enhancement of achromatic PC-pathway processing in color defectives. This study employed a psychophysical method designed to isolate PC-pathway processing using achromatic stimuli. In a pulsed-pedestal condition, a four-square stimulus array appeared within a uniform surround. During a trial, one of the test squares differed from the other three, and the observer's task was to choose the square that was different. A four-alternative, forced-choice method was used to determine thresholds as a function of the contrast of the four-square array to the surround. Seven color defective and four normal observers participated. Results showed no systematic differences between normals and color defectives. There was no enhancement of achromatic processing as compensation for reduced chromatic processing in the PC-pathway system in color defectives. From physiological recordings, PC-pathway achromatic contrast gains of dichromatic and trichromatic New World primates and trichromatic Old World macaques have also been shown to be similar to each other. Our study and the animal studies imply that PC-pathway contrast gain parameters were regulated by factors other than the environmental chromaticity gamut, and may have arisen in a nontrichromatic common ancestor to both Old and New World primates.

Letter Claims Alcatraz Escapees Survived Infamous Prison Break
In a rather remarkable twist to a decades-old mystery, a San Francisco TV station has obtained a letter that may have been written by one of the infamous escapees from Alcatraz just a few years ago!
The daring 1962 prison break by brothers John and Clarence Anglin and fellow inmate Frank Morris baffled authorities and captured the imagination of the public thanks to the uncertain fate of the prisoners.
Although it was widely believed that the trio perished in the frigid waters surrounding the prison, rumors and theories suggesting that their escape was successful have persisted for years.
And now a stunning letter written to the San Francisco police department in 2013 seems to confirm these suspicions.
The missive, revealed to the public by TV station KPIX this week, was purportedly written by escapee John Anglin and shares details about what became of the trio after their prison break.
According to the author, who boasts "yes, we all made it that night but barely," his fellow escapees passed away in 2008 and 2011, leaving him as the sole survivor from the epic event.
The person claiming to be Anglin laments that his days may be numbered as well, since he has been stricken with cancer and is "in bad shape."
Amazingly, he offers to turn himself in to police provided that he "go to jail for no more than a year and get medical attention."
Unfortunately, an examination of the letter by the FBI found no fingerprints or DNA and a handwriting analysis proved to be inconclusive, making the missive yet another loose end in the notorious cold case.
Sadly, if the letter was really written by John Anglin and he was very sick in 2013, it stands to reason that he probably died at some point in the years afterwards, taking the trios tale of their post-Alcatraz life to the grave with him.

Chrissy Teigen had her baby and the name is out of this world
by Jeanne Sager
Apr 17, 2016 at 3:11 pm EDT
Say goodbye to Chrissy Teigen, funniest pregnant woman on Twitter. Say hello to Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, brand new parents. The model, cookbook author and TV show host has revealed she gave birth to their little girl on Thursday … and somehow managed to keep it all secret for days, up until John spilled the beans on his own Twitter account.
More: This mom's crazy unique gender reveal will have you 'dyeing'
Their other big secret? The baby name, which Teigen shared on Instagram, along with the little girl's stats (6 pounds 11 ounces). Introducing Luna Simone Stephens (Legend's real name is John Stephens).
The couple reportedly asked President Barack Obama for his thoughts on their baby name, and if this is the one he chose, the commander in chief may have a future in baby naming after he leaves office. Not bad, Mr. President! The name is a perfect fit for a singer's daughter.
More: Mom tries to name baby after poison, judge says no way
For starters, say it out loud. Sound familiar? Nina Simone anyone? Pretty darn close.
What's more, Simone is French for heard and Hebrew for loud. And something tells us this little girl is going to be loud and heard a LOT in the Legend/Teigen home in weeks to come. Most babies are.
Luna, meanwhile is — not surprisingly — Latin for the moon. The out-of-this-world moniker was also an alternate name for Artemis, the goddess of — you guessed it — the moon.
Both names are linked with people who are drawn to the arts (ahem, have you looked at her parents?) and enjoy careers in the spotlight. Pretty perfect fit.

Paulinus of Nola and the Distribution of a Relic of the True Cross
The first documented appearances of pieces of the True Cross in the West date from the very end of the fourth century and the beginning of the fifth century. An early reference suggests how they circulated. John, Bishop of Jerusalem, gave Melania the Elder, a pious wealthy aristocrat and generous donor to the Church, a piece of the True Cross. Upon her return to Italy from Jerusalem in 402, she gave a fragment of her fragment to her friend Bishop Paulinus of Nola (354-431); he in turn, in 403, sent "an atom" of his treasure on to his colleague Sulpicius Severus.
Paulinus's letter reveals a good bit about the reception of a relic of the True Cross. It expresses anxiety about the fragment's size and humble materiality by insisting that its small scale doesn't detract from its power and that its gold encasement doesn't increase its effectiveness. The text also illuminates the remarkable capacities of a tiny particle of the True Cross to render Jerusalem present in the West through the contemplation of contemporary ritual in the Holy City. The letter further indicates how the fragment of the True Cross acts like the body that endured it, having the power to save and regenerate. Paulinus also suggests here how pieces of the True Cross circulated as gifts - multiplying in number without reducing the size or power of the originating source. Paulinus's letter, finally, indicates that the mounting number of fragments of the True Cross required a fuller narrative of their sacred history.
Below is a portion of the letter of Paulinus, leaving out the history of the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helen which he elaborates on with some detail.
By Paulinus of Nola
To Severus
Paulinus greets his holy and loving brother Severus.
In telling me of your other activities and desires, our brother Victor has reported to me that you desire for your basilica, which you have built in the village of Primuliacum on bigger lines than your previous one, some blessed object from the sacred relics of the saints, with which to adorn your family church in a manner worthy of your faith and service. The Lord is my witness that if I had even the smallest measure of sacred ashes over and above what we shall find necessary for the dedication of the basilica soon to be completed here in the Lord's name, I should have sent it to you, my loving brother. But because I did not possess abundance of such a gift, and because Victor said that he had great hope of a similar favor from the holy Silvia who had promised him some of the relics of many Eastern martyrs, I have found instead a fragment of a sliver of the wood of the holy Cross to send you as a worthy gift. This will enhance both the consecration of your basilica and your holy collection of sacred ashes.
This goodly gift was brought to me from Jerusalem by the blessed Melania, a gift of the holy Bishop John there; my fellow servant Therasia had sent it specially to our venerable sister Bassula. Though presented to one of you, it belongs to you both, for you are both animated by a single vocation, and the faith which brings you together "into a perfect man" empties you of your sex. So from your loving brethren, who long to associate with you in every good, receive this gift which is great in small compass. In this almost indivisible particle of a small sliver take up the protection of your immediate safety, and the guarantee of your eternal salvation. Let not your faith shrink because the eyes of the body behold evidence so small; let it look with the inner eye on the whole power of the cross in this tiny segment. Once you think you behold the wood on which our Salvation, the Lord of majesty, was hanged with nails whilst the world trembled, you, too, must tremble, but you must also rejoice.
Let us remember that the "rocks were rent" when this cross was seen; so let us imitate the rocks at least, and rend our hearts with fear of God. Let us also recall that the "veil of the temple was rent" by this same mystery of the cross. We must realize that the rending of this veil was revealed to us that, hearing the voice of the Lord and the mystery of His boundless love, we may refrain from hardening our hearts, and may sunder ourselves from things of the flesh and rend in two the veil of unbelief. So, when we have uncovered the surface of our hearts, we may behold the mysteries of the saving gifts of God.
But I do not also bid you imitate the arrangement by which I have enclosed this relic, which imparts a great blessing, in a golden casing. Rather in this adornment I have imitated your faith. I sent you your own exemplar clothed with gold, for I know that you have within you, like gold tried in the fire, the kingdom of God - in other words, faith in the cross, by which we enter the kingdom of heaven. As Scripture says, "if we suffer with Him we shall also reign with Him." So this is given not to strengthen your faith, because you believed before you saw, but because of the merit of your faith, which you received by hearing the word and now prove in action. This is why I have sent you this gift of wood bearing salvation in the Lord, so that you might both physically possess the cross which you hold in spirit and carry with the strength if your vocation.

След като приключва гражданската война в Съветска Русия и останалите части от бившата Руска империя със съветска форма на управление (без Финландия), на 30 декември 1922 г. е подписан Съюзен договор за учредяване на Съюз на съветските социалистически републики (СССР, Съветски съюз, Съвети), обединяващ тогавашните съветски републики:
 Руска съветска федеративна социалистическа република (РСФСР),
 Украинска съветска социалистическа република (УССР),
 Белоруска съветска социалистическа република (БССР) и
 Закавказка съветска федеративна социалистическа република (ЗСФСР).

Утвърдени са знамето и гербa на СССР.

С решение на страните учредителки (без ЗСФСР, разпусната десетилетия по-рано) СССР се разпада на 26 декември 1991 г.

Предистория

Предпоставки

Съветизация

СССР (1922-1953)

Нова икономическа политика

Колективизация

Терор и репресии

Външна политика
От основаването си през 1922 г. Съветският съюз изпада в международна изолация. Заради комунистическия характер на новата държава тя е мразена от повечето страни не само в Европа, но и в другите развити страни. На съветската власт (на работници и селяни) се гледа с недоверие от елитите в света.

Пробив в тази изолация се оказват присъединяването на Съветите към пакта Келог-Бриан и влизането в Обществото на народите.

Велика Отечествена война

На 22 юни 1941 г. Съветският съюз е нападнат от Нацистка Германия. До септември германците покоряват почти цяла Украйна, Прибалтийските републики, Беларус, Молдова и са на прага на столицата Москва. Тогава обаче СССР предприема контранастъпление и отблъсква врага на около 350 километра от града до декември 1941 г. Това е първият сериозен неуспех на Хитлер на Източния фронт. През лятото на следващата 1942 г. германците настъпват към Кавказ и Каспийско море, през ноември стигат до Сталинград, където обаче претърпяват грандиозно поражение.

Окончателно инициативата преминава в съветски ръце след битката при Курск през лятото на 1943 г. Оттам нататък съветските войски печелят и напредват на запад, към границите на Райха. През 1944 г. Червената армия навлиза в много източноевропейски държави, включително и в България. В началото на април 1945 г. започва заключителната Берлинска операция, в хода на която Хитлер се самоубива, а германската столица пада на 2 май 1945 г. и на 8 май е подписана капитулацията на Германия.

Претърпял толкова много загуби, СССР излиза победител от войната. През юни се състои първият Парад на победата. Триумфът на Съветския съюз е пълен, след като е разгромена и Япония. Това увеличава многократно престижа му. Още в хода на войната са наложени социалистически режими в много страни от Източна Европа.

СССР (1953-1991)

Хрушчов на власт
На 5 март 1953 г. умира диктаторът Сталин. След неговата смърт за кратко начело на държавата е Георгий Маленков. Той обаче е отстранен от Никита Хрушчов още същата година. В ГДР през 1953 г. избухва въстание, което е потушено. На Двадесетия конгрес на КПСС през 1956 г. е развенчан култът кум личността на Сталин, а някои негови съратници са изключени от партията. Тази десталинизация разваля отношенията на СССР с Китай и настъпва Съветско-китайският разкол. Към азиатците се присъединяват Албания и Югославия.

Във вътрешната политика управлението на Хрушчов се характеризира с известна демократизация на страната. Във външната политика той затопля отношенията си със САЩ. Между него и президента Кенеди се открива "горещ телефон". 2 събития обаче охлаждат отношенията между двете страни - изграждането на Берлинската стена (1961) и Карибската криза (1962). Няколко години преди това Съветският съюз потушава Унгарската революция (1956). СССР печели и надпреварата за първо изпращане на спътник (1957) и човек (1961) в Космоса.

Хрушчов е свален от власт през 1964 г. и начело на страната застава Леонид Брежнев.

Edo govt praises Olympics-100m finalist, Enoch Adegoke
The Edo State Government has praised the outstanding performance of Olympics 100m athlete, Enoch Adegoke, who took part in the final 100m track event in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games.
Edo State Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu who addressed journalists in Benin City, on the performance of Adegoke noted that if not for the bad luck that hit the athlete, he was on the path to claim a medal for Nigeria at the event.
He said despite the outcome of the race in the final, the Edo State Government will give Adegoke a red-carpet reception when he returns to the country as he is a worthy ambassador of Edo State.
Shaibu said, "Edo people are very proud of the performance of Enoch Adegoke. He was a medal hopeful until that muscle pull. The incident in the final was unfortunate as his takeoff was very good just about 40 to 50 meters before the bad luck in the game caught up with him. We will celebrate with him."
"Our focus is to bring him back home as our ambassador and prepare him for other future activities and also check his medical condition to ensure in future events he doesn't suffer such ill luck."
He added that lack of preparation has a lot of impact on the performance of Nigerian athletes which include Enoch Adegoke as they all depended on the goodwill of spirited Nigerians to embark on their training, noting that Edo State also gave their support.
"Nigeria is at this level today because we have reduced sports to politics. We are proud of Enoch Adegoke who made us proud in Tokyo following his outstanding performance in the race until the muscle pull stole the show from him in the final of the 100m mens final," he added.

Whether you're trying to peak your endurance, pump your muscles or palm off some body fat, choosing the wrong recovery foods can negate all your hard work. Here are some surprisingly common mistakes people make when heading from the kettlebells to the kitchen.
For the modern fitness enthusiast, slurping down a protein shake post-workout in the 'anabolic window' is a must, right?
While body builders, vegetarians, pregnant women or people recovering from surgery may benefit from protein supplementation, the average gym-goer will get more than enough protein from the real deal. Think lean sources of meat, fish, eggs, nuts, dairy, legumes and wholegrains. Save your money.
You've just done a 60-minute spin class, so hoeing into peanut butter treats works wonders? Not necessarily. Ingesting only fats (even if they are the healthy kind) fails to provide your muscles with all the raw material they need to replenish and repair. This is mainly because exercise recovery relies on a balanced blend of carbohydrates and protein, too (more on that later).
Despite the popularity of ketogenic diets (high fat, low carbs), as with most diets that eliminate entire food groups (grains, beans and legumes, most fruits, starchy vegetables, sugars), many people aren't able to maintain it for long periods of time.
While keto diets have been shown to help athletes control body weight, reduce body fat, and maintain muscle mass (note most studies are small). Other studies show some negative effects, such as elevated levels of free fatty acids, which may impair metabolism and contribute to central nervous system fatigue. Additionally, there's always a risk for nutrient deficiencies, such as fibre because the diet is low in fruits and grains.
"A high-fat diet might not be right for everyone" adds sports dietitian Ashleigh Brunner from Body Fusion in Sydney. "Carbs are our main fuel source during exercise, and inadequate carb refuelling may compromise training output, intensity and consequently preferable adaptations to get stronger and fitter.
Whatever you're training for, carbs are not the enemy. If you avoid them in your after-activity feed, you'll fail to adequately replenish the energy you've just burnt, in addition to leaving you under-recovered the next time you hit the gym. Refuelling with carbs is just as important as doing so with protein. This combination will help you replenish glycogen stores as well as stimulate the growth of new muscle protein. Good post-training options include wholegrain bread with lean protein, such as eggs or tuna and salad; stir-fry with lean meat, vegetables and brown rice; or a salad with sweet potato and legumes. On-the-go options include a milk-based drink with fruit (i.e. smoothie) or oat-based bar with yoghurt.
Sports drinks or other brightly-coloured beverages have surged into popularity. But are they necessary? If you're doing more than 90 minutes of high intensity training at a time, then suffice to say a sports drink will help replace the fluids you lose.
The electrolytes (e.g. sodium) will help to regulate the body's fluid balance (compared to water alone), while the carbohydrates provide energy to replenish the energy after a session. The reality is though, for the average Australian who exercises, sports drinks are not essential. The excess calories will only end up on your waistline. Finally, skipping a post workout meal once in a while is not a huge deal, but it shouldn't become a habit. Brunner says "An empty stomach can do the opposite of what you're intending: failing to assist muscle recovery and glycogen repletion. Additionally it could mean a bounce back in appetite leads to over snacking on unhealthier options" The recipe for optimum results is no secret: real food, good sleep and, of course, regular exercise.
You shouldn't judge a bar by its cover; especially an energy bar. Unfortunately, even the most popular post-workout bars are often no better than your average chocolate bar. The reason is many of them are sugar-rich and ultra-processed offering little 'refuel value'. If you love grabbing a bar on-the-go post-sweat, make sure you scan its nutritional value and swap ultra-processed kinds for ones made of real foods and wholegrains. The shorter the ingredients list, the better.
There's a prevalent sporting culture of training your heart out then cracking open a beer. Some people may tell you that it has a similar 'refuel' result to a sports drink, but alcohol carries a potentially dangerous effect: dehydration. As you can imagine, not hydrating effectively after a grind at the gym can inhibit your muscle recovery. Further, drinking is a real culprit for disrupting sleep quality — another physiological function that's critical for post-workout replenishment.
While we're on the topic, here's the ultimate guide to workout recovery. Plus, what to eat before every type of workout.

Ardea Sees Early Signs of Effectiveness With Gout Drug
Luke Timmerman
Ardea Biosciences, the San Diego-based developer of a treatment for gout, has shown in a small clinical trial that a treatment its scientists stumbled upon by accident just might work.
Ardea (NASDAQ: RDEA) said today that 6 of the first 7 patients who got its lead drug candidate for gout were able to bring their uric acid levels down to a medically acceptable target level in the blood after eight days. That's an indicator that uric acid shouldn't build up in the joints and cause intensely painful crystals. None of the four patients on a placebo so far achieved that benchmark, and two out of three did on a standard dose of allopurinol, Ardea said in a statement. The Ardea drug was well-tolerated, and no patients dropped out because of side effects, the company said.
The latest findings add to some encouraging, albeit preliminary findings, the company released in April. Those results showed that the Ardea drug, RDEA594, a once-daily oral pill, passed a safety study of 60 healthy volunteers, and a mid-stage study in patients showed a 45 percent drop in uric acid levels after 10 days. The drug was initially studied for HIV, until researchers noticed its surprising effect against gout. Now if these findings can be confirmed in larger trials, it could provide a new treatment option. This disease affects 3 million to 5 million Americans, most of whom don't respond to the standard allopurinol.
The early results "are very encouraging and provide a strong basis for moving RDEA594 into larger Phase 2b studies," said John Sundy, an inflammatory disease expert at Duke University Medical Center and a member of Ardea's scientific advisory board, in a company statement.
Ardea stock has climbed from $9.30 a share the day it released preliminary results of the first two trials on April 20, to $15.24 at yesterday's close. The company plans to complete major parts of a larger, Phase 2b clinical trial of the drug before the end of the year, said Barry Quart, Ardea's CEO, in a statement.

Q: Upgrade RAM from 20GB (1x 4GB, 1x 16GB) to 32GB (2x 16GB) I'm currently using Ubuntu 16.04.
When I'm processing large datasets, I sometimes run out of memory.
Therefore, I want to upgrade RAM from 20GB (1x 4GB, 1x 16GB) to 32GB (2x 16GB), can I just swap the 4GB memory stick for the 16GB or will I need to reinstall Ubuntu altogether?

A: I believe that was a comment, not an answer, so...
@Terrance "There would be no need to reinstall the OS for a RAM upgrade."
Which is correct...I'll add that it's a good idea to use matched RAM modules. If you can, get the exact 16gig module to what you have installed for best performance and compatibility. If they're not matched or close enough, there's a chance they won't run in dual-channel mode which hinders read/write performance.

The heirloom bean varieties we have are great as well! They have been passed down from generation to generation in order to preserve their delicious flavor and gorgeous markings. You rarely see these beauties in the grocery store which makes them even more of a delicacy!
Some of our amazing CSA members, Michelle & Tony, were kind enough to send in this recipe. It really brings out the flavors of the Kale and Jacob's Cattle Beans. I think that this would be a great addition to any holiday event. Michelle & Tony, thank you so much for sharing! You are awesome!
Have a favorite recipe for your winter veggies? Send it in and maybe you'll be featured on our next blog!
Additional notes from Michelle & Tony: I made this recipe with a few omissions (celery, red pepper) and changes (light cream instead of heavy and half the goat cheese), but it is just delicious!!!

I've been reading it everywhere… "Eat more dark leafy greens and fresh vegetables!" It's easy to do with a Winter CSA membership at Everblossom Farm. We have exactly what you need to stay healthy and feeling great in the cold, dark months. Every share comes with dark greens and we even have a specific Greens Share that stands alone or adds nicely to our Frost Protection Standard Share, which is a mix of greens and roots. For ideas of what's included in our standard share, check out Examples of Weekly Shares and scroll to the bottom.
NEW! This year we have a Buy Down Share where you can choose exactly what you'd like, and we'll pack it up and deliver. Also exciting is the news of our new delivery locations in Harrisburg.

Good afternoon fresh food lover!
Fall is here (at least it is for me) and it's time for you to check out our Winter CSA options if you're one who craves hearty, nutrient-rich veggies in your winter dishes. We have several options available: the standard share called Frost Protection, a "Buy Down" Share, where you decide your starting balance and order weekly, OR a combo of the previous two options: we are calling this the "Bonus Package" because of the discount, and finally the Greens Share. Don't hesitate! We have limited availability for these exclusive and popular shares. Winter deliveries will begin the first week of November. Don't hesitate! We have limited availability for these exclusive and popular shares. Thanks for your support!
Fall Fest Farm Party Alert!
Posted 8/29/2014 8:31am by Elaine L. Lemmon.
In less than a month, Everblossom Farm will be holding its annual Fall Fest to celebrate the start of autumn! Please come visit us Sunday September 21 from 1 to 5 pm with a potluck dish to share, some chairs/blankets, and your kids. Like I noted for our last farm party, please do not bring your pets. It is a working farm with lots of trucks and cars passing through-it is not a good environment for an unfamiliar pet.
We will be providing the beverages, burgers, and some games for the kids. But we encourage you to bring any lawn games--boccee or corn hole anyone? If you love apples, we have children's apple bobbing planned, and for all the artistic children out there…it is time for a seed collage! We have an abundance of dud seeds, so I can't wait to see what the kids create! If you guys can bring the construction paper and glue, we can sit the kids down for some Art from the Earth.

I always joke about our "catch and release" principles here on the farm. We bring in some winners of people to work with us seasonally, and then turn them loose into the wild to use what they've learned here. While I do feel this works well since the bulk of our work load is seasonal, I definitely have plenty of great work and learning opportunities for employees all year long. So our summer season folks are heading back to college and we're looking for a good crop of new, young go-getters to dive into our bountiful fall harvest and winter CSA.
If you know a young person who would love to live on my farm and learn all there is to know about growing awesome organic produce, please send them my way. If you're a local who doesn't need housing, but would enjoy being able to have your hands in fresh soil all winter long, get in touch.
In addition to our Winter CSA, we have markets to attend all year and wholesale accounts that never dry up. As you can imagine, we keep a steady pace even in the dark and cold months!
Feel free to call or email with job inquiries and keep your eye on our website for a full description of the work we have available.

I'd like to humble brag some more items that are in the cooler currently; last week we featured black raspberries and I hope you rose to the challenge to incorporate them into your meals. I did forget to mention that raspberries cook down very easily into a compote that you can add as a topping to any treat in any season; simply freeze the compote and add 2-4 tablespoons of water when you reheat it on the stovetop.
This week I am giving you one of Eric and my favorite recipes with summer squash. Use a mandolin (CAREFULLY) to cut your larger squash pieces into ribbons, brine them, and then use them as noodles. You can add them them to any hot or cold dish, as they are very versatile. *As I have heard countless horror stories from ER nurses/drs about misusing a mandolin, here is a video about safe mandolin use. If you have a steady hand, use a paring knife, or a regular vegetable slicer. (http://www.finecooking.com/videos/how-to-use-mandoline.aspx) Like this video shows, find a tool that includes a hand guard!
Let's chat about potatoes…we remove 90-95% of soil from our little buddies, but we do not wash them as that decreases its ability to store for any length of time. Please store them in a cool, dry place with the soil still on them. Only wash them if you plan to eat them that night. Same policy for berries-wrap them in a dry paper towel and put those in the fridge until you want to eat them, then GENTLY rinse them. Please note that we have several varieties of potatoes that make great presentations, as well as add some flavor into your potato salads, homemade chips, or attempts of the Spanish "tortilla." (Takes some time to master but ohhhhhh God, it is worth it.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3v7WbV1R2g. This youtube series comes from a Japanese mom who takes classic dishes from every culture and has her toddler daughter eat them-it is super easy to replicate and the daughter is adorable! (squeeeee! This info comes from part-time employee Alana) Cut the potatoes very thin and in smaller pieces so that it doesn't weigh down the egg mixture. And use a large spatula to flip it because a small one causes it to break apart or fall out of your pan (Alana achieved both of these failures).
Another item that we should highlight is the kohlrabi. Its knobby shape is not for smacking unruly teenagers, but rather, eating. Its flavor is between cabbage and broccoli stems. These recipes came from www.thekitchn.com: raw in salads (similar to mustard greens); added to cream of potato, broccoli, or mushroom soup (or in its own creamy, pureed soup with some mild spices); fritters; roasted; or steamed.
After meeting with people from across the world, I have found that slavic cultures use kohlrabi almost interchangeably with cabbage (cabbage soup, coleslaws, sauerkraut), as it is so versatile.
Remember that my sister, Jode, helps log many of her recipes and they are fantastic. Just click on the recipe link on the blog and you can explore hundreds of options if you are stuck on what to eat or how to prepare something.
Look for a post in the coming weeks that gives you all the information you need to know on a HIGHLY INVASIVE PEST called the Spotted Wing Drosophila, i.e., the fruit fly. These jerks are causing millions of dollars of damage across the north east, mainly in berries, and we are doing everything we can to control them in an environmentally safe manner. As I will explain later, we go beyond the Organic recommended control methods to one that uses no spray-we lose product this way, but it is a method that keeps me from losing sleep at night.
Enjoy this humidity free weather and eats lots of berries and veggies this week! Its great weather to grill meats, skewer some veggies, and make a pie.
Posted 7/11/2014 9:06am by Elaine L. Lemmon.
It is dry out here and we are busy installing and controlling our irrigation systems to make sure our produce stays fresh and perky!
You might think that with our minds on the lack of rain we've had, we might be forlorn, BUT NO!
There is a party to be enjoyed, with delicious food, quenching drinks, and a farm tour or two!
This is our final reminder that the CSA part will be here on Saturday (the 12th) from 3 to 6 ish.
We want YOU to bring yourselves, your kids, and a potluck dish to share, as well as a chair or blanket. Please no pets. We got those already and Route 94 hosts incredibly fast drivers with little to no regard for life.
Thank you to everyone who supports us through CSA and shopping at our market stall. It's your loyalty that keeps us going and we are grateful.
Keep an eye out for raspberries. My favorites are the black raspberries, the smaller berry with a ton of flavor. It is more seedy but it is worth it (seeds are good for you-fiber y'all!) I eat them raw, but if you are the kind of person who likes to bake, they make exceptional berry tarts with a light pastry crust and homemade whipped cream as a topping. Or add them to your smoothies in place of artificial sweeteners. Popular sentiment is with the red raspberry, but I think the blacks taste great, and lets face facts: they have antioxidants for days. Bonus: raspberries give you 54% of your daily value of Vitamin C, and 41% of your daily value of manganese. 1 serving = 1 cup or 23 grams. Like I mentioned before, fiber in the seeds equals 32% of your daily fiber value.
So lets gear up to have some fun Saturday! We get to have some laughs, eat great food, and maybe host an impromptu rain dance to break this dry spell!

After losing her job at a law firm where she completed her Articles of Clerkship, Adeola had to deal head-on with the mounting debt she had amassed over the years. She had over $70,000 of CONSUMER DEBT that was the result of student loans, car loans, a line of credit, and credit cards. In addition to owing over $70,000 of consumer debt, Adeola also had a MORTGAGE. She was terrified at the prospects of paying back the debt without having a job, and did not know how she and her husband were going to pay off the debt. Adeola made it her life's mission to study as much about personal finance as possible. She focused on the topics of personal finance, debt repayment options, and investing strategies. After reading hundreds of personal finance books, and studying the topic of debt repayment options at length, Adeola was able to PAY BACK OVER $70,000 of CONSUMER DEBT in less than 3 years, and was also able to PAY OFF her MORTGAGE in 12 years. Adeola is eager to share her Supercharged Debt Repayment Plan (SDRP), and Supercharged Wealth Accumulation Plan (SWAP) with the world. Her mission is to help people Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt, and Build Great Wealth, so they can turn their financial goals into reality.

Greensboro in Greene County, Georgia — The American South (South Atlantic)
Sheriff L. L. Wyatt
By David Seibert, January 19, 2009
1. Sheriff L. L. Wyatt Marker
This is the front side of the marker.
Sheriff L. L. Wyatt. . This 1895 jail is named for the legendary Sheriff, Loy Lee Wyatt, who enforced the laws in Greene County for fifty-two years until his death in 1977. Sheriff L.L. Wyatt was born on January 2, 1904, in Paulding County. He was recruited to serve the citizens of Greene County due to his fast legs and honest reputation. In 1925, L.L. Wyatt began his law enforcement career as a Greene County policeman who waged a "one-man war" against the making of illegal corn whiskey. Prior to his arrival, moonshine production was considered the leading industry in Greene County and its product was enjoyed in all of the finest hotels of Atlanta. After having rid the County of its moonshiners, Wyatt ran for the Office of Sheriff in 1940 defeating the incumbent. He served as Sheriff until he died in 1977. At the time of his death he was the longest standing Sheriff in the State, with thirty-seven years of service. . . During his 37 years as Sheriff, Wyatt became a legend in his own time. Few men become legends and even fewer achieve the status of a "living legend" as did Sheriff Wyatt. He was a religious man who believed that God blessed him with protection during all of his fights, gun battles, and dangerous encounters. His law enforcement exploits exposed him to at least five gunshot wounds in the line of duty, in part due to the fact that he seldom carried a gun on his person, requiring him to retrieve it from his car at the sight of danger. In the early days of his career, when moonshiners resisted arrest, Wyatt regularly shot it out with them. He killed over a half dozen men, all of whom shot at him first. . . The most famous gunfight of Sheriff Wyatt's career occurred in 1974. He was 70 years old at the time. Bank robbers eluded a 100-car police chase that started in Wrens, Georgia, and ended in Greene County. The bank robbers had killed a teller at the bank in Wrens and had taken two women hostage. Sheriff Wyatt set up a road block midway between Union Point and Greensboro. Wyatt stood in the middle of the road as the speeding car approached. The robbers attempted to shoot him, but the gun misfired. One bank robber was killed in the ensuing battle, but both women were unharmed. Sheriff Wyatt subsequently received the award of the Peace Officer of the Year for his bravery in this incident. . . Sheriff Wyatt was a family man, devoted to his wife, son, and grandchildren. He was a businessman, lending his experience to the operation and affairs of the Citizens Union Bank as a director. He was a community leader who had concern for all citizens -- rich and poor, black and white. Out of a concern for these people, legend has it that Sheriff Wyatt confronted a notorious member of the Dixie Maffia and proclaimed, "These are my people and I want you to leave them alone!" . . Sheriff Wyatt, also known as Mr. Sheriff, was the epitome of a community oriented police officer long before such an idea was born and served as an example for every officer to follow. . This historical marker was erected by Greene County Sheriff's Office. It is in Greensboro in Greene County Georgia

Cajun History
In the 17th century, a group of French families colonized land in the area now known as Nouvelle Écosse (Nova Scotia), then referred to as L'Acadie. Les Acadiens, as they called themselves, were a simple people, who highly valued their God and their families. They wisely settled the best lands in the region, and developed a rich, though simple, prosperous society. But the prosperity was short-lived. Soon the British arrived. In a brutal act of ethnic cleansing, the British overwhelmed the Acadians, took away their land, burned their homes, and separated their families. Large numbers of Acadians were packed into cramped boats and deported to the sea. This traumatic period in Acadian history is what we call "le grand derangement."
For the first ten or so years, the Acadians were scattered among the American colonies, England, and France. Eventually a few groups found their way to Louisiana where they were welcomed by the then Spanish government. Word quickly spread that a "new Acadie" was being formed, and over the next few decades, many Acadian families found their way to Louisiana and were united again with family. And indeed, a new Acadie was born.
While the Acadians remained the major population in South Louisiana for quite some time, they quickly found themselves surrounded by more and more cultural influences. Eventually, Spanish, French, German, and Native American Indian elements blended with the Acadian culture to form what is now known as Cajun (Cadien) culture. The French language remained the dominant language in South Louisiana until the early 20th century, when a state mandate forbade the speaking of French on the school grounds. Two generations of Cajuns were punished and made to feel ashamed for speaking French. Subsequently, the language (which is at the heart of the culture) nearly died. In 1968, the CODOFIL (Council for the Development of French in Louisiana) was formed and the tide began to turn. A renaissance of the French language was spurred by French immersion programs throughout South Louisiana. Today, thanks to the efforts of groups like CODOFIL, ACTION CADIENNE, the Cajun French Music Association, L'Acadjin and others, the Cajun culture and French language is experiencing new prosperity. Vivre le français et vivre les cadiens!

Watch WDayNews6 Coverage of Clint Hill's Visit and Speech At Concordia College which is honoring him with an Alumni Achievement Award
Former Secret Service agent speaks of fateful day in Dallas in 1963
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - It's not every day Secret Service Agents from Fargo greet a passenger off a flight at Hector Airport. But tonight, those agents welcomed one of their own - one of the most notable Secret Service Agents - from one of America's most tragic days.

It's not every day Secret Service Agents from Fargo greet a passenger off a flight at Hector Airport. But tonight, those agents welcomed one of their own - one of the most notable Secret Service Agents - from one of America's most tragic days. North Dakota Native Clint Hill was the agent assigned to protect Jackie Kennedy the day JFK was assassinated in Dallas. For years, he remained silent about the tragedy. Tonight, he told his story at Concordia College, which is honoring him with an Alumni Achievement Award.
57 years after he left Concordia, Clint Hill would return to the campus carrying with him, details from a day that haunts him and his country to this day. Clint Hill – Retired Secret Service Agent: "I saw the President grab at his throat, and so I jumped and ran, trying to get on the back of the presidential car."
For years, so many new Clint Hill as "that man" who would climb aboard Kennedy's limousine when shots rang out in Dallas.
Clint Hill: "There was a third shot that rang out, hit the President in the head, near the ear, it was so massive and violent that it spewed blood and brains all over including myself and Mrs. Kennedy came out of her seat on the trunk trying to grab material that came off the President's head. She did not know I was there.
" For years, the tragedy would cripple Hill emotionally, physically.
Clint Hill: "I went into a deep depression for 7 years, alcohol and tobacco. I finally quit that and then I started to heal myself."
It would be decades later before Clint Hill would return to Dallas, Texas and retrace his footsteps and relive that fateful day, but he says those two return trips changed his life.
Clint Hill: It was the best thing I could have done, I should have done it a long time before then, It helped me healing slowly ever since.
Hill finally went public recently, writing a book about the assassination. It would mean a cathartic healing period in his life. Still.
Clint Hill: "Still a part of me feels responsibility and guilt because I was the only one who could have done anything." Hill is impressed with the interest young people have in Kennedy and the story of his assassination. Hill says it is his job to set the record straight, dispelling the conspiracy myths that still surround the steamy afternoon in Dallas that changed the country forever.
Hill is working on another book called "Mrs. Kennedy and Me." It will be out next spring. He continued to guard Jackie Kennedy a year after JFK's assassination.

A couple years ago, it was all about the Cronut.
From there, we were introduced to a handful of mouth-watering food concoctions like deep-fried guacamole wontons and glazed cannoli doughnuts. This time, it's all about Ramnuts, doughnuts made using ramen noodles as a base.
This rare food mashup is creating quite the buzz for itself after the OC Night Market announced it would be serving Ramnuts from June 5 to June 7 at the Foodbeast booths.
Now we know these actually exist, but who is the mastermind behind the Ramnut?
According to Bustle, Josh Scherer of the food blog Culinary Bro-Down is the man responsible for this madness.
If you're wondering what a Ramnut tastes like, think funnel cake but slightly different. The ramen noodles are soaked in horchata. Then, they're deep fried and filled with cream cheese right before being coated with powdered sugar.
What more could you want? Not to mention, they're highly customizable as far as toppings and flavors are concerned. Patrons will be able to choose between vanilla, cream cheese or chocolate cream fillings as well strawberry, chocolate or cream cheese frosting.
It's the brainchild of Josh Scherer of Culinary Bro-Down.
It's a doughnut made using ramen noodles as a base, and there's a slight chance you might actually like it!
I mean, who wouldn't like horchata-soaked ramen noodles filled with chocolate and topped with strawberry glaze?!
If you're looking to try this new food trend, you might want to head over to the OC Night Market.
In case you were wondering, this is how a Ramnut is made.
