Respected KBC Team,
Hope this finds you best in the health and spirit as it leaves me here.
I sent about 2500 msgs (along with Idea pass)with my Idea No.8512005576 out of which my 250 msgs could not reach KBC-7,due to congestion on lines during peak hours. I have been charged for those not sent msgs. All this is because Idea network is everyday informing me of not sending msgs with the language "Unable to process ..."
This is for your kind intimation and REQUEST TO CALL ME FOR AUDITION ROUND.

Our beloved Jersey milk cow Clover died this past weekend. She was pregnant with her second calf, due to deliver next month. We noticed her laying down in the pasture for quite some time, which is not normal. Especially in the hot sun. After repeatedly trying to help her up, we decided to call the vet because a Jersey cow is fragile, not hardy at all. We had to call the emergency vet on call because, of course, this happened after hours on a Saturday evening. When he got to the farm, he put a tube down her throat to relieve any gas. A cow is prone to bloat, excessive gas in their rumen. Some pressure released (very stinky) but she still wouldn't get up. The vet determined that Clover had late pregnancy toxemia, which is similar to pre-ecalmpsia in humans. This simply means that the pre-born calf was sucking too many nutrients from the mama cow and she couldn't keep healthy. We are glad that the vet noted Clover's body condition was good, and that we were feeding her the right things. He said that Jersey's are so docile, which makes them good family milk cows, but they just don't possess a great will to live. He joked that he had seen some give up and die from a mere fly bite. After injecting Clover with a bottle of glucose, for energy, and calcium/magnesium for strength, the vet left. He did leave us with a bottle of something to give her if, after 24 hours, she didn't get up. In that case, he said, she won't survive and it would be best to try to induce labor, hoping to, at least, save the baby calf. And in rare cases, delivering the baby, enables the mama to get up without all that extra weight. Well, Clover did not get up within the time frame, so we gave her the shot to induce labor. However, sadly she didn't deliver the calf, but died the next morning. I loved that cow. She was born here on the farm. I feel positive that we did all we could in trying to save both her and the baby. Death is a reality here on the farm. And my kids are not unfamiliar with animal losses. Now, they have taken Clover's hide and are tanning it. That is what homesteading is all about. Doing your best. Accepting your losses. Taking what you can away from the situation. Moving on, wiser and more experienced.
Category Archives: dairy cows
New life
New life here on the farm is one of the sweetest things in the spring time. We've had two new calves born here recently. Both fathered by the South Poll Bull that moved in with us last year. One was born to our Jersey milk cow, Clover. She had a wonderful birth. Not a touch of milk fever, as Jersey's are prone to. A little girl. Just what we wanted, because if we keep breeding the female offspring of Clover and our bull, in four generations the progeny will be able to be registered as full-blooded South Polls. We are enjoying milking Clover again, now that she's calved. Charlotte especially. Nothing quite so fun as that particular farm chore. Clover has calmed down considerably since her last calf. Now she stands complacently in the milk stanchion, just as her mother used to do. Welcome to the Funny Farm, little paprika!
Have you figured out how to get more than 24 hours in a day yet?
Neither have I, but if someone knows, please share.
We have been very busy around here the last few days.
I had friends visit for a few hours on Friday afternoon.
My dog strangled itself to death on the run line on Friday evening.
On Saturday I was gone half the day in murray at a lamb showing class with charlotte and the young kids. Then we went to lowes to get supplies.
Then we started building bunkbeds and lofts for the boys room. We got it finished this evening. Well finished enough for now. We have sleeping spots for 4 boys. 1 computer desk area under Jimmy's bed that Tommy will use for programming his robots. Jimmy has a drawing table up in his loft bed. Jack has a curtain to hide behind in his bottom bunk. Benjamin wants some shelving in his bunk. And I have a lego building area yet to build. Need to find a storage spot for all the Mashoonga sticks. Tommy was a huge help.
My computer has been crashing on and off for quite some time. I think I finally figured it out. I sure hope so, I have a lot to do before I leave on Wednesday.
Thankfully we had two new baby calves born on Sunday evening, helped us forget about the dog. They were so soft, it would be hard to imagine without having touched them.
We have to milk our Jersey cow now some because the new calf does not drink enough to empty her. So that is twice a day.
Then I spent an hour this evening running around with one of my new south poll momma cows trying to squirt her engorged teat to get the milk out of it so that it would be small enough that the new calf would be able to nurse it. She tried to kick me every time I squeezed it. I finally got the milk clot milked out after about 5 miles of jogging(it seemed that long) with her avoiding her hoof. Then she finally stood still while I was doing it until she moved over slightly into the electric fence and we both got zapped. Then I had to get her to calm down again so I could finish. After it was back to a normal size I was resting and watching the new calf nurse and she nursed all 4 teats. So I knew I had fixed it. Otherwise she would have gotten mastitis in that quarter and probably never would have been able to produce in that quarter again in her life. Then I looked at my shirt and realized I was full of manure. Charlotte watched the whole episode. I am sure she was thoroughly amused.
I got a hair cut tonight.
Now that I am cleaned up it is time to engineer. I will hopefully finish before 3am.
But I think I got my computer fixed. So far it seems like I may have a bad set of DIMMs. I will find out if it crashes anymore tonight if I have it solved.
Then wake up and put in a full day of engineering tomorrow.I also have to set up 8 days worth of mob grazing that is easy for someone else to move my cows while I am gone.
Wednesday we have an 8 hour drive to Naperville, IL for the ICHE homeschooling convention. Saturday night or Sunday we will drive back home the 8 hours. Then Monday we have to drive about 5.5 hours to knoxville, TN for Mia and Katie's state livestock competition that they qualified for which is all day Tuesday. Then Wednesday we drive back the 5.5 hours to home. Then I have to catch back up on the engineering and chores that I will now be behind on.
Clover's Boo Boo
We have been spraying Clover's wound with a wound care ointment twice a day. I was worried because this particular area tends to get manure dripped on it. The calves all head butt her udder when they nurse. I feared it would constantly be irritated. But look how well it is healing! I am so pleased! Clover is a huge part of our homestead. She was born here on the farm. She feeds our beef supply. She supplies milk for my children. She supplements the pigs feed. She's a sweet girl. And now she is officially on the mend.
Bovine Boo-boo
(I could go on with the alliterations, but I'll spare you.)
Poor Clover. We came home from our camping trip and found her suffering from this deep puncture wound. I have no idea how she got it, but it is nasty looking. No sign of maggots, yet. Which is wonderful. And she is still letting the calves all nurse off of her. I don't know how she stands it. I've seen the calves (which are growing bigger every day) violently head butt her udder, while they nurse. She's one patient mama cow. We have been washing the wound out and applying a gel-like vetericin spray daily. I hope she doesn't loose that quarter! Do you think it's odd we pray for our bovine pets?
Thrice as nice
Nothing is better than a cute little Jersey calf. Well, except THREE cute little Jersey calves!! Clover had her first baby calf on April 25th. A little bull calf. Just what we were hoping for. We certainly don't need more than one milk cow for our family, so a little beef fits the bill! Her little calf, Latte, has the sweetest white markings on her leg and side. And we have also welcomed another bull calf from our friend's dairy farm, to the Funny Farm. Clover produces enough milk for all three babies, so we don't need to feed them bottles anymore. It was quite a rodeo, getting her to accept the two new calves, so our friend came over and tied some hackles on her ankles so she wouldn't kick them away. She has settled down now, a few days later. I have seen the calves all nursing together on Mama, out in the pasture. We should be able to remove the hackles within a few days. We are feeding Clover yummy alfalfa hay to help support her milk production and soon hope to be sprouting some grains for her.
Meet Mocha
Our little Jersey bottle-calf. Isn't he the cutest? He will be a little friend for Clover's calf. She is due any day now and we are watching her anxiously. This little guy gets fed a bottle (1/2 gallon of milk at a time!) twice a day. After Clover delivers her calf we are hoping to adopt Mocha to her as well. She should have no trouble producing enough milk for the two little calves and us as well. Jerseys are crazy milk producers.
Around the farm…
Winter weather welcomes it's own worries. Frozen water. No grass. Frozen water. Less daylight hours. Frozen water. Snow. Frozen water. Animal shelters. Frozen water. Did I mention it's a real pain when the hoses freeze and the animal waterers freeze? We welcomed our first Arctic blast this last week, with weather down into the teens. Now this coming week we are enjoying a balmy 60 or so degrees. Only once did my hairdryer get taken outside to defrost the water. These pigs are enjoying the leftovers from our fall decorations. We've got some heritage breed Berkshire hogs in with our Guinea Hog boar hoping for a tasty cross-breed. We purchased a Berkshire girl from some friends and we have another Berkshire girl left over from the fair crop. They are the pigs with the pink markings. Berkshires are a much sought after breed because their meet is so tasty and lean. We may call the next generation of crosses Guineashire. What do you think? Clover is looking pregnant and content. She should deliver her first calf in early spring. I couldn't be more excited. Chickens have still been earning their keep. Not as many eggs as usual, but decent. Jeremie hopes to install a light in their coop to encourage more laying. With the shorter daylight hours and colder weather, the number of eggs we gather diminishes dramatically. Or maybe it's just that we can't find them. They like to hide them in the hay that is stacked in the barn. Not much is growing in the garden these days. Some kale that I grow for green smoothies, the chickens and cows. Some cabbage for raw sauerkraut. I have many rows of carrots and beets that just get sweeter with the colder temps. We will be roasting a lot of them for our Thanksgiving feast. And lookie here!!! More wood chips!!! I about died of happiness when the wood chip guy drove into our driveway.I will spread these at my leisure whenever some space opens up in the garden. If they don't get stolen and spread in the orchard in the meantime! This is the last batch of bunnies we will harvest this winter. We are running them in a tractor through the front pasture. We have about a dozen in there. They are due to expire in the coming week. Their pelts should be beautifully thick for Charlotte and Tommy to tan. While the frozen water is always a chore, it's nice to be enjoying a slower pace during the winter on the farm. Nothing too pressing needing to be done, except the greenhouse. 😉
Hot Date!
You may remember that my dear milk cow Bessie died a few months ago. You may also remember that she had a little heifer (girl calf) that was born right here on the farm. Well, Clover is big enough to breed now. Since we were taking her to a dairy farm down the road, we wanted to tag her ear to ensure that we got the right heifer back next month. There, she will run with a Jersey bull for a while, hopefully putting her on schedule to have a calf next spring. She is such a sweet girl, I hope she will be a good milker. I miss milking!
Signs, signs everywhere signs
I have been looking high and low for a cute sign for my milking parlor. I have searched etsy, ebay, craigslist, amazon, everywhere I could think of. Nothing was exactly what I wanted. We have piles of old wood laying around, so I asked Tommy to cut and sand a board so I could make my own sign. Jeremie put together such a nice place for us to milk with a stanchion and everything, I wanted a nice sign for it. So, for the price of some stencils from Walmart, I have exactly the sign I wanted. Stenciling
Please don't comment about my crooked lettering. I'm challenged that way and believe me, I've heard all about it. Isn't it just the cutest thing you ever saw?

By A. K. Thomas
On the drive over, she had seen the webs. Hundreds of webs suspended inches from the ground, clouds of spider-silk fog hovering through the roadside fields, threatened by invisible inhabitants. She had wondered what would happen if she stepped in the silent traps.
The daze of spider-silk morphed into gravestones when she stepped out of the car at the cemetery. A small crowd had already gathered around the pit. She saw uniforms of various colors, dapper hats and shining buttons. Kelsey stepped past the guests, approaching a measly brown folding chair near the head of the coffin. She felt pity like raindrops landing on her shoulders and seeping through the fabric until they touched her blond freckles and pale skin, precipitating from the blurred faces surrounding her. She kept her eyes averted, engaging instead a singular twist in the wood grain on the box. At a quivering touch on her wrist, she glanced up, and her grandmother nodded down at her. Kelsey touched her grandmother's hand, and Grandma Matthews turned her gaze to the minister.
Kelsey listened so hard to service that she heard nothing at all. She watched the breeze tease the minister's vestments and brush women's hair into their eyes. She fiddled with the slim leather gloves her grandmother had given her, unaccustomed to wearing so much black.
Her father had always given her so many colorful things: yellow canopy curtains, running shoes with pink stripes, the Christmas dress made of bright lavender satin. He used to say he gave her colors to match her smile. "But Daddy," she would whine, "teeth are white!" He would always look back at her with warm cheeks and say, "Not to me. You smile and I see rainbows."
At five years old, Kelsey would squeal and think of unicorns and Barbie dresses made of all those rainbow colors. At thirteen, she would think it was corny and embarrassing and sell her Lisa Frank folders to a fourth-grader for two dollars. At seventeen, she spent hours grinding her teeth in the mirror, pulling her cheeks back time and time again in desperation, seeking those dental prisms her father saw, seeing nothing but blankness. She waited weeks to hear that vaguely aviatic swoosh and watch her father's username fly up to the "online" category on Skype, when she would simultaneously holler for Grandma Matthews and click "Call" until the computer nearly froze. He would answer immediately, and when his face appeared in the little pixelated box, her face would hurt and her eyes would sink with joy and he would say he saw all the colors he was missing in her smile.
One designated Thursday she and Grandma Matthews waited through the dark night hours for the swoosh that never came. By the time Grandma Matthews' tea got cold and Kelsey's blanket got thin, they went to bed, assuming something important had come up and that they would reschedule tomorrow. Kelsey slept for mere hours before she heard her grandmother's voice, more visceral and alive than it had been in years. She leapt out of the bed and through the sepia hallway to the aged kitchen, where Grandma Matthews lay collapsed and sobbing before the open door on the worn yellow linoleum. Kelsey's eyes jumped to two officers in uniform on the front step, arriving just before the morning fog had dissipated.
Kelsey glanced toward her grandmother's hand. The pale veins seemed illuminated against her black sleeve. Kelsey followed the sleeve up to Grandma Matthews' face, steady and worn, unbroken against the wind and the misery. Instead of swarming over swollen cheeks and inflaming smooth eyes, Grandma Matthews' tears soaked into her skin like dew into damp soil. Who knew what would grow there next? Memories, wisdom, thoughts of days to come… Kelsey saw it all being planted.
A shout broke her reverie, and she glanced through the crowd of attendees. One or two people looked up, but most were quiet and demure, still listening to the minister's blessings. Her posture began to slowly relax until she heard another more distinct shout, and this time several others began looking around with her. The shout was joined by a few other voices and became repetitive, but Kelsey could see nothing through the shoulders of the standing group, and eventually the sounds grew so loud that the minister paused for the disturbance. Kelsey stood and craned her neck but could not see until she stood on the folding chair. Grandma Matthews grasped Kelsey's hip in worry, and at first all Kelsey saw were rainbows, big bright rainbows bounding over the curls of the wind, a cloud of rainbows conglomerating and growing nearer. Her eyes were suddenly overcome with tears, and she thought she heard her father, and her teeth were suddenly bright, bright colors again and then she heard them—
"You deserved to die!"
"Only God wins his war!"
"Live by the bomb, die by the bomb!"
"God hates you!"
"Unnatural life deserves unnatural death!"
"God has punished you!"
The rainbows shining in Kelsey's tears sharpened as shock dried her eyes, and the ugly black words thrashed across the signs came into focus. She read on the signs what she heard over the gravestones. She clamped Grandma Matthews' shoulder by instinct and withdrew when she felt a bone so brittle as a bird's wing. All the colors had leaked out of Grandma Matthews and melted into somewhere far below them, leaving only her heavy black tweed outfit and her pale, empty skin, and a thousand years of pain in her muddy eyes. Kelsey stepped off the chair, pushed back the cage veil over Grandma Matthews' pillbox hat, and pulled her as close as she could. "Sit down, Grandma," she said, leading her to the chair. As her grandmother sat, Kelsey put her palms over her ears and said, "Don't hear them. Don't hear anything that isn't me. Don't hear anything they say. Daddy didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve to die; he didn't deserve anything they're saying! He didn't—" Grandma Matthews' tears began warming Kelsey's wrists, and soon they both could hear nothing but each other's grief, and forehead to forehead they tried and failed to shut out the belligerent world.

I Can't ImagineI Can't Imagine, Shelby Lynne's 13th full-length album and first for Rounder Records, is the most beautifully crafted and intensely affecting set of songs since her landmark I Am Shelby Lynne in 2000. It starts, as always, with that voice. Two parts Alabama sunshine; one part Memphis rainstorm, it's one of the most gorgeous sounding instruments in all of popular music. Comprising 10 new songs written or co-written by the GRAMMY winning singer-songwriter, I Can't Imagine is powered by Lynne's lustrous, virtuosic vocal performance, indelible, sparkling songwriting, and the sympathetic, versatile playing of a top-flight band, led by guitarist Ben Peeler. The songs themselves reflect a panoply of Lynne's influences from Southern soul, Crescent City R&B, and California country & western to the ardent social consciousness of precursors like Woody Guthrie and even the roots 'n blues vocalizing of Billie Holiday all brought into clear focus by Lynne's keen, sophisticated pop sensibility. An artist in full creative command, Shelby Lynne's I Can't Imagine is an inspired work of purity and depth - sure to be one of 2015's most essential recordings.1. Paper Van Gogh

Tears Lies And AlibisTears, Lies, And Alibis, marks the first release on Shelby Lynne's own newly founded label, Everso Records. Coming on the heels of Just a Little Lovin', Lynne's critically acclaimed 2008 tribute to Dustry Springfield, Tears, Lies, And Alibis affirms her position as a visionary, iconoclastic artist who deftly weaves country, soul, rock, blues, pop and folk influences to forge her own unique style.
Like Identity Crisis (2003) and Suit Yourself (2005), this sparse, unquarded collection was produced by Lynne, who evokes a live-in-the-studio vibe from a stellar group of musicians. From the exuberant Rains Come and dreamy Something To Be Said, her ode to the iconic Airstream trailer, to the restless, bluesy Old Dog and poignant Alibi, her evocative imagery brings to life the scarred yet determined group of survivors whose stories are told in Tears, Lies, And Alibis.1.

War Of The GargantuasWar Of The Gargantuas is a split release from Philip H. Anselmo and Warbeast, and as Anselmo states, the split serves as "a glimpse into the future of both my solo project and ultimate thrash metallers Warbeast.
On the concept of the album, Anselmo says, The title of the split is War Of The Gargantuas and it is fitting on many levels because of our combined love for the '60's Japanese film of the same name, the power of our combined musical output(s) and our humorous affection that plays out within each of our 'Gargantuan' personalities. Both Warbeast and myself have full length LP's that will be released shortly after this is released, but this split is unique musically. It is a time capsule; a loud pause 'til we both release our full length products. Enjoy the destruction of music!"

I've been doing this (cherry picking great recordings for reissue) for a long time, and I think I've got a good idea of what audiophiles like to hear. This is all of your female vocal demo cuts in one place. - Chad Kassem, Acoustic Sounds owner
Female vocalists have forever been celebrated by audiophiles and music lovers alike. Whether the delivery is delicate or bombastic, a great female vocal well-recorded is just so sensuous. It's the genre that most often typifies the potential of hi-fi and what it can do to engage our emotions. It's no wonder the hallways of any hi-fi show will be resonating with the sounds of sparsely-arranged recordings of great women singers. It's the genre that best shows off the systems that manufacturers and dealers are trying to sell.
Now, you can have all of those best demo tracks on one record. Showstoppers by Julie London, Diana Krall, Rickie Lee Jones, Nina Simone, Janis Ian, Phoebe Snow, Jennifer Warnes, Dusty Springfield, Shelby Lynne and many more. Every single track is an audiophile demo classic. Drop the needle and drop your friend's jaw!
Michael Fremer, of AnalogPlanet.com and Stereophile Magazine, walks you through each track and its historic place with very thorough and entertaining liners.
Plating and pressing was done at Quality Record Pressings.
Ever have that moment where you want to really light up your system - either for a late-night session by yourself or for when you've got company - and you don't want to keep changing records to keep the hit parade going? This record ends that issue. You've only got to make one selection.

Soul Eyes Quick ViewUNIM-BLU-3767$19.99Buy Now
Soul EyesSinger, songwriter and pianist Kandace Springs will release her debut full-length album Soul Eyes on Blue Note Records. Produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Klein (Lizz Wright, Melody Gardot, Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock), the album touches upon soul and pop while channeling her jazz influences as well as her Nashville upbringing. Kandace counts such stylists as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack and Norah Jones as her heroes, but as evidenced by Soul Eyes, Springs mimics none of them.
Kandace's journey to discovering her uniqueness didn't happen overnight. In fact, her 2014 self-titled debut EP had a decidedly contemporary R&B/hip-hop bent with production by Pop & Oak (Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Miguel). The EP was incredibly well-received and led to performances on Late Show With David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as well as appearances at the Afropunk and Bonnaroo festivals.
Kandace was dubbed a "suave songstress" (Wall Street Journal), "a versatile and vital artist" (Afropunk), and "a vocal force to be reckoned with" (Okayplayer). Essence Magazine named her a New & Next artist and Interview Magazine made her their Music Discovery, writing that while "Hearing the word jazz might revert a listener's thoughts to the music of yesteryear...Up-and-comer Kandace Springs aims to change this notion. The singer, songwriter, and pianist blends elements of soul, jazz, and pop, producing a unique and modern twist on the genre that appeals to young and old listeners alike."
As amazing an experience as that was, as Kandace got ready to record her album she couldn't shake the feeling that she wasn't yet singing her true self. Conversations with her longtime producers Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers led to soul searching and rethinking her musical direction. Also during this period, Kandace attracted the attention of Prince, who heard her makeover of Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" on the website Okayplayer. The music icon invited her to perform with him at Paisley Park for the 30th anniversary of Purple Rain. "He encouraged me a lot before I recorded this new record, especially during the time in which I was trying to figure out my sound," Kandace says. "He told me that I needed to do what comes naturally to me. He was absolutely right."
For Soul Eyes, Kandace continued working closely with Rogers and Sturken, but they also recruited Klein to help the singer bring out her distinctive artistic traits. "Larry wanted me to be free in the studio," she recalls. "I've been through a lot of other sessions in which the producer tries to take control of your sound. Larry was just like, 'Go in and play what you feel.' That ultimately led to the best outcome; he captured this record perfectly."
Klein praises Kandace as a "natural." "In this era, in which flash and hunger for fame is often equated with talent, she's that rare person who sings and plays because that is what she needs to do in life," he says. "When I first heard Kandace, I was sold after hearing one song. Her smoky voice coupled with a sense of phrasing way beyond her years, and her angular way of accompanying herself on piano grabbed me right away."
The eleven songs contained on Soul Eyes are a mix of Kandace's originals and co-writes as well as the jazz classic "Soul Eyes" and songs by Jesse Harris, Shelby Lynne, War, and others. The album features Kandace's playing piano alongside an illustrious cast of musicians that includes trumpeter Terence Blanchard, guitarists Dean Parks and Jesse Harris, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, organist Pete Kuzma, bassist Dan Lutz, percussionist Pete Korpela.1.

This page shows real-time (unvalidated) air quality and meteorological data from the Hobart Port air station, located on Princes Wharf in the CSIRO site. The station was established in early 2017 to monitor ambient concentrations of gasses principally from ships docked in the Hobart port area, and was chosen after preliminary air dispersion computer modelling was conducted.
The plot immediately below shows real-time data from the Hobart Port station for today. You may need to refresh this page in your browser to see the latest data. If network interruptions prevent data from being collected from the station, the plot will show the most recently available data.
The following plot shows the most recent week of data from the Hobart Port station.
The real-time data presented above have not been quality controlled or validated. Validated data will be available later via the validated data-viewing page.
We thank CSIRO Marine and Atmosphere flagship for access to the site on their wharf.
Background Information:The increasing number of cruise ships visiting the Port of Hobart in recent years has raised some concerns in the Hobart community about the level of impact of emissions from these ships. These concerns have become a topic of public enquiry to the EPA. The atmospheric emissions of greatest concern from cruise ships while at berth in Hobart Port are sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.
As a first step to addressing these concerns the EPA has established a reference level monitoring station in the Hobart Port area to continuously measure and report ambient levels of sulphur dioxide in real-time to this website. As the graphs shown on this website demonstrate, the ambient levels of sulphur dioxide measured to date have been well below the relevant hour-averaged and day-averaged national air quality standards. The EPA is now in the process of planning the deployment of additional monitoring equipment at the Hobart Port Monitoring Station to also continuously monitor and report ambient levels of
nitrogen oxides. It is expected that this equipment will be installed and be fully operational by the close of 2017.
Further information on sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen can can found via the links on our
major air pollutants page.
Air dispersion modelling of emissions from cruise ships visiting the Hobart Port is also currently being undertaken by EPA to estimate the potential impacts of these emissions on nearby populated areas. This work has already been useful in identifying a suitable air quality monitoring site in the vicinity of the Port of Hobart. The final report on this modelling work is expected to be completed in late 2017.
It is the view of EPA Tasmania that legislative responsibility for ships' air emissions, and enforcement of that legislation, remain with the Commonwealth. Annex VI of the
International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) sets limits on emissions of sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen and Australia is a signatory to the MARPOL Convention. In accordance with the Commonwealth legislation which implements the MARPOL in Australia, the current limit for the sulphur content of fuel is 3.5 per cent. This cap will be reduced under the MARPOL to 0.5 per cent, effective from 1 January 2020.
As part of the emission reduction measures identified in the National Clean Air Agreement, the NSW Environment Protection Authority is leading a national study on how emissions from visiting ships in port can be reduced.
Enquiries specific to health-related concerns in relation to emissions from cruise ships should be directed to the Department of Health and Human Services.

So here is card 3 for the mixed media "Unexpected Challenge" swap. The host picked from a list how I would create the card – starting from a blank card.
My challenge was to:
– Use molding paste (I covered the card and pushed some bits and baubles into it.)
– Use black paint or gesso (to be honest I put this in the molding paste. I then added a little metallic silver to enhance it a bit.
– Add stars. (this was hard for me. I had no idea at first how I wold add stars to a black card. Then I remembered I had some star eraser carvings that I made a while ago.)
I was lucky enough to have a star fortune to finish it out. This card was very challenging. But I got it done and the results are interesting.

KGNS VIDEO: Decline in used car sales
Decline in used car sales (link below)
Buying cars in the U.S. and importing them to Mexico has become less common and in doing so, affecting the economy along the border.
Prior to NAFTA, Mexico did not allow car imports. Through the agreement, certain cars have been eligible for import.
However, Mexico could charge an import duty for cars that do not meet certain requirements.
It's that tax that has increased and drastically decreased U.S. imports.
A couple of years ago, Royal had Mexican customers buying cars by the bundle and in cash.
Buyers would buy here, save money and turn a profit by reselling them in Mexico. Now, not so much.
Royal had even set up shop in Nuevo Laredo, but that's changed when regulations shifted in Mexico resulting in higher import duty taxes.
"On the border, about 80-percent of citizens have a car that's imported or nationalized, it's not from a dealership", said Abdala.
On the U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar will be checking to see if these changes brought by Mexico's 2011 decree on car imports violates the NAFTA agreement portion requiring imported cars have a certificate of origin.
"Mexico right now, the way I understand it, is asking for a certificate of origin, which means that if you have an old car, it's going to be hard to find the original one. So, the question is, is there a non-tariff barrier that has been created", said Congressman Henry Cuellar.
Meanwhile, representative Abdala is asking for changes from mexico's ministry of finance.
"We are presenting a resolution where we are asking the authorities of the ministry of finance that they respect the agreement of free trade. What does this mean? It means we can import vehicles according to their value, and that the taxes are based on it", said Abdala.
Just this week, Nuevo Laredo's city secretary reported they are looking for ways they can provide a discount for importing vehicles.
Representative Abdala is also asking for more changes to facilitate import.
She's asking for Mexican customs to extend their hours of operation from three to eight hours.
She'd like to have the zone in which to drive regularized cars expanded from just the border to the entire border state.
Used car sales to Mexican clientele has been diminishing recently.
Buying used cars here and taking them into Mexico for personal use or resale was a common occurrence, but not so much lately.
That's because importing them has become too expensive.
The tax has increased significantly since 2009 when Mexico changed regulations.
This has affected the regional economies along the border, but has also affected personal budgets.
"On the Mexican side, people who don't have resources are saying, hey, if we can pay for a car $5,000, we want that car because that's all we can afford. The Mexican auto industry is saying no, no, no. It's going to pollute our environment, and we should have something that's newer than a used car", said Congressman Henry Cuellar.
Mexico's car industry has benefited and seen an increase in sales.
However, critics feel imported cars would not negatively affect its growth.
Congressman Cuellar says he is working with the U.S. Trade representative to try and see if the changes made by Mexico are a violation of the NAFTA agreement.http://www.kgns.tv/home/headlines/Decline-in-used-car-373596101.html

"Nationals" are fighting for political motives2013-05-13 19:11
Leaders of the "United National Movement" have become victims of political violence. That's how the representatives of the former ruling party comment on the incident at the restaurant "La Trufe" that took place this weekend. However, the "opposing" side puts forward a different version saying that the "nationals" attacked them with fists and no one talks about any political conflict. What actually caused the fight in the restaurant that was attended by the President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili, the leader of the National Movement, shortly before the incident?
Fights and brawls, and often knifing, is not uncommon phenomena in Georgian restaurants. Many bloody fights began not because of business interests or political opposition, but simply because a certain drunk visitor decided to pit against the other customers, who, after drinking two or three glasses, suddenly feels himself "Goliath" and rushes to fight.
But the politicians, who should be a role model, also love to wave their fists at leisure. An incident that took place at the weekend in a restaurant in Tbilisi is a confirmation of that. Almost the entire leadership of "United National Movement", including President Saakashvili and the general secretary of the Interior Minister, visited a place called "La Trufe" that day. The exact details of the brawl are unknown since its participants from different sides tell different versions.
Representatives of the "nationals" immediately declared that the brawl was nothing but a "political violence" over opponents, which resulted in the affected MPs Giorgi Vashadze and David Sakvarelidze, as well as the former governor of Samegrelo region Zaza Gorozia. They say about broken bones and bruises, so the politicians were transferred to the republican hospital, but after a brief examination and first aid they went home. "Nationals" claim they were attacked.
But here's the version of one of the most active participants of the fight from the "opposite" side - Mamuka Bakuria. He and the people who accompanied him (two men and two women) were attacked by the people who were sitting at the table opposite. Bakuria says that the team of the "nationals" included about 20-25 people, and maybe more.

Bartle Hall Wedding Photography by Steven Rooney of Natural Touch Photography
Jess and Ben's wedding went of withoug a hitch in two of the most photogenic settings I've worked in for a while. Jess got ready at her parents house not far from the church and was transported down the road in a very cool VW camper van, kitted out especially for the wedding. The church of Brindle St. Josephs is secreted down a country lane, by the very apt and original name of 'Private Road', and surrounded by beautiful trees and miles of rolling countryside.
Bartle Hall
The reception venue is in a little place called Bartle near Preston. Like the church it's in quite a rural area. The building itself has a myriad rooms that guests can use including the bar which opens out onto the lawn. This is the third wedding I've shot a tthis venue and have loved every one. From a photography point of view it's fantastic and I'd love to shoot there again soon. So if you're looking to hire someone for your Bartle Hall Wedding Photography, give me a call and I'll show you more of my work from the venue.
I had a lot of fun making hundreds of pretty pictures throughout the day and well into the night. Here are just a few that I particularly like…

Our Waiting Room featured in ED NASH(VILLE) Sophisticated Living Nashville
Above is yet another striking illustration of how eloquently Nash's art harmonizes into any environment. As seen in the newly renovated practice of nationally-renowned and Nashville-based Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Brian Biesman, Nash's work not only hangs proudly upon the entrance but his patients are fortunate to enjoy Nash's paintings in two additional places throughout his practice.
Unwavering attention to beauty and detail has always remained the solid foundation at the center of it all for Dr. Biesman. The poised precision, equally matched by his highly skilled staff, is applied to all that he does, not just in the meticulous care for his patients but also in creating an environment as if it were a metaphor for how beauty lies within. And that it does, especially within the walls of his practice located at 345 23rd Avenue North. Dr. Biesman sought Nash's influence to curate a series of paintings that closely mirrored his work and together, they successfully created an elegant atmosphere that exudes quite sophistication.

Wellness and Aesthetics
The New Year often signifies a "reset button" for improving our health and wellness after the decadence of the holiday season. This year, let part of your wellness resolutions involve taking better care of your skin! Here are a few tips to help you with the healthiest skin yet:
Wellness and Our Skin. Skin health can be divided into preventative and restorative procedures. A good sunblock is the foundation of preventative skin health. As opposed to sunscreens, sunblocks contain ingredients such a titanium dioxide and zinc oxide which physically block both UVB (responsible for burning the skin) and UVA (the main culprit in skin aging and wrinkles) rays. Sunblock should be used every day, even during cloudy days and in the winter.
Restorative wellness procedures include treatments such as skin resurfacing, which removes sun-damaged skin and stimulates growth of fresh, healthy, new tissue, reducing wrinkling and discoloration. When performed properly, skin resurfacing has even been proven to reduce the risk of developing future skin cancers. Skin resurfacing can be performed on most body areas but requires a great deal of knowledge and expertise to obtain best results; choose your provider with the same diligence as you would a surgeon.
Topical skincare products can also promote restorative wellness. A word of caution: approach those proclaiming to be "natural" with caution; some are indeed superior but remember that poison ivy is also natural. Just because a product claims to be natural does not mean it is automatically superior to others. Consult a knowledgeable skin care specialist to choose the products that are best for your skincare goals.
Facial Wellness and Appearance. Restoration and maintenance of a youthful facial appearance can be achieved with a variety of minimally invasive techniques. Injectable fillers produce the soft curves and fullness characteristic of youth along with injectable muscle relaxing drugs such as Botox® to soften and prevent the development of lines. Noninvasive skin tightening procedures such as Thermage® and Ultherapy® also stimulate production of fresh new collagen, one of our skin's critical structural components to improve skin tightness and contour.
Aesthetic treatments are an important part of our physical and mental wellness. Use great discretion when selecting an expert who can guide you to your wellness goals.

Keeping Up With Your Maintenance
Keeping Up With Your Maintenance
Increasingly, iconic figures recognized for their timeless beauty are publicly discussing some of their "secrets" for maintaining their appearance over a span of many decades. Dolly Parton is a brilliant, talented, and iconic figure who has made no secret of the fact that she has enhanced her appearance regularly over the years. In fact, she once told Larry King, "I look at myself like a show dog. I've got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape." She has also been quoted as saying, "If I see something sagging, bagging or dragging I'll get it nipped, tucked or sucked." While Ms. Parton often made these remarks in jest, she truly is a thought-leader who helped break down the social stigma previously associated with rejuvenation procedures. She also popularized the concept of ongoing "maintenance" of one's appearance, an idea that today has become the cornerstone for both rejuvenation and for prevention of age-related changes.
Additionally, Christie Brinkley is a beauty icon who, at age 62, has retained her super-model appearance without surgery. Ms. Brinkley recently has come forward and openly discussed her minimalistic yet highly successful approach in her recently released book "Timeless Beauty: Over 100 Tips, Secrets, and Shortcuts to Looking Great". In her book she discusses her judicious use of Botox®, injectable fillers, noninvasive skin tightening, and laser treatments as well as her diet and exercise regimen.
You don't have to be famous or have unlimited resources in order to keep yourself looking great over an extended period of time, nor do you have to undergo dramatic treatments which change your appearance or are noticeable to others. I completely agree with Ms. Brinkley who says, "The best results are not total transformations but nearly imperceptible changes that just make you look like a slightly younger version of you. This is an area where less really is more." Employing this strategy, we routinely see patients who, as a result of excellent skin care, regular use of Botox® and fillers, periodic laser and skin tightening treatments, and adherence to a healthy lifestyle and diet look better today than they did a decade or more ago. The goal is to create both a long and short-term maintenance plan to maximize and maintain a youthful appearance. Seeing the sense of self-satisfaction and confidence instilled when patients look at the photographs we took before starting their treatments is one of the most rewarding aspects of my practice.
If you are interested in making a plan to help you subtly look more youthful and to maintain your appearance over an extended period of time, please contact us.

Deciding What to Get Your Parents this Mother's & Father's Day?
As the calendar rolls around to Mother's Day on May 14, and Father's Day on June 18, the search for the perfect gift that is unique, insightful, and fun is not always easy! Yes, we know that our parents are always grateful for any recognition from their children, but sometimes us children want to honor our parents with a gift that is both meaningful and useful. But what do our parents really want? New survey information reveals that many moms and dads want to freshen up their appearance.
According to American Society for Plastic Surgery President Dr. Phillip Haeck, "In the last decade, we've seen women's attitudes about cosmetic surgery change." A combination of busy schedules, lack of sleep, and the need to focus on others can lead to mothers forgetting to take care of themselves. Additionally, rates of both surgical and nonsurgical rejuvenation procedures among men increased dramatically over the past several years, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Today, both men and women can take advantage of a wide variety of products and procedures to help achieve a natural, healthy, and more youthful appearance.
Nonsurgical rejuvenation options popular with both men and women today include:
- Medical grade skincare to transform and maintain skin health
- Injectables such as Botox® and fillers which can relax deep facial lines and restore youthful and attractive facial contours
- Noninvasive skin tightening as achieved by Thermage® or Ultherapy®
- CoolSculpting® for noninvasive body contouring and reduction of unwanted bulges in the belly, "love handles", thighs, under the chin, back, and many other areas
- Kybella® for removal of unwanted fullness of the neck or "double chin"
- Laser treatment for unwanted blood vessels or stretch marks
Many years ago, both men and women would wait until fifties to start thinking about ways to achieve a more youthful appearance. Today, with so many nonsurgical and minimally invasive options available, men and women typically begin to address their appearance in their thirties and even earlier. So when deciding what to get your parents this Mother's and Father's Day, a gift certificate for aesthetic services may be just what the doctor ordered!
10% off Father's Day Gift Certificates
We are offering a 10% discount on gift certificates so you can give the special dad in your life a rejuvenating treatment he will enjoy! Come by our office today to pick one up in time for Father's Day. Offer valid from 6/1/17 through 6/15/17. Ask about our email certificates.

We are nearing the end of my top 50 players from the 2017 AFL season as we start to roll through the final 20 players, with players 20-11 to be named today, with several of this group of 10 very unlucky not to make the top 10.
In case you have missed any of the parts or if you have just joined us, have a look at the following parts before proceeding through with the latest installment of this series:
Part One - Players 50-41
Part Two - Players 40-31
Part Three - Players 30-21
So now let's begin on the fourth part of this five part series as we name players 20-11.
20. Michael Hibberd – Melbourne
Pre-Season Ranking: N/A
Career Games: 102
Career Goals: 12
Having spent the whole of 2016 on the sidelines for his involvement in Essendon's supplements scandal, Michael Hibberd requested a trade to Melbourne ahead of the 2017 season and despite missing the opening four games of the year with a minor achilles injury, he flourished as a key component in Melbourne's defensive six. He was top five in the league for rebound 50s, averaging a career-best of nearly seven rebound 50s per game along with 27 disposals (also a career-high) and five marks per game and was rewarded a spot in the All-Australian team.
19. Jeremy McGovern – West Coast
Pre-Season Ranking: 23
Career Games: 79
Career Goals: 29
Season 2017 solidified Jeremy McGovern as an elite key defender as he notched his second-straight All-Australian slot in the back line with another stunning year which saw him play every game for the Eagles and was the league's best intercept mark, averaging nearly four intercept marks per game, along with averages of 16 disposals and eight marks per game. A top-two finish in West Coast's best and fairest count outlines how important he is to the West Coast line up.
18. Eddie Betts – Adelaide
Pre-Season Ranking: 9
Career Games: 277
Career Goals: 534
In comparison to 2016, Eddie Betts' campaign in 2017 was a bit less productive as he kicked 20 less goals than his 2016 goal tally of 75 goals, but regardless of that he still reigned supreme as the game's best small forward today as he led all small/mid-sized forwards in goals with 55 goals for the year and was fourth in the league in goal assists. In addition, he picked up his spot in the forward pocket in the All-Australian team for the third consecutive year.
17. Dayne Zorko – Brisbane Lions
Pre-Season Ranking: 46
Career Games: 122
Career Goals: 135
It's so pleasing to see this man finally get some recognition in what he does on the footy field. Not only did he star in Brisbane's midfield, averaging 25 disposals, seven marks, five clearances, five inside 50s and four marks per game, he found himself kicking goals with such regularity, kicking 34 goals in 21 games and led all Lions for goals kicked for the second-straight year. Capped off a stunning year for the wooden-spooners with an All-Australian selection and third successive club best and fairest win.
16. Zach Merrett – Essendon
Pre-Season Ranking: 45
Career Games: 81
Career Goals: 31
Broke through in 2016 when the Bombers had a depleted roster, but he flourished when Heppell, Watson and company came back into the fold this year, averaging 30 disposals per game for the second-straight year and also averaged five tackles, four clearances, four marks and four inside 50s per game and earned some recognition with a spot on the wing in the All-Australian team. It's incredible to think that this young lad is only 21 and has an eternity of brilliant football ahead of him.
15. Paddy Ryder – Port Adelaide
Pre-Season Ranking: N/A
Career Games: 210
Career Goals: 146
Proved to be the best ruckman in the land when he was named as the sole ruckman in the All-Australian side, and whilst some will complain that Sam Jacobs destroyed him in the ruck when the Power and the Crows had their last showdown, Ryder's influence across 22 games he played this year was very obvious. Averaged a career-best 37 hitouts per game as well as 12 disposals, four clearances, three marks and three inside 50s per game, but has shown he can be a very dangerous player anywhere around the ground.
14. Marcus Bontempelli – Western Bulldogs
Pre-Season Ranking: 4
Career Games: 85
Career Goals: 78
It was an indifferent 2017 for 'The Bont'. His ability to be thrown anywhere on the ground and have an impact on the field was telling in a lot of games this year. He averaged 23 disposals, six tackles, four inside 50s, four clearances and four marks per game but had one flaw in his game that stood out – his wayward kicking in front of goal, kicking 20.29 for the year. But it still didn't stop him from winning a second consecutive Charlie Sutton Medal as the Dogs' best and fairest and a spot in the All-Australian squad of 40.
13. Sam Docherty – Carlton
Pre-Season Ranking: 44
Career Games: 92
Career Goals: 14
After a breakout 2016 campaign, Sam Docherty managed to better his game even further by averaging career-highs in disposals (28 per game), marks (nine per game) and nearly averaging six rebound 50s per game. He led the league in kicks and marks at the end of the regular season and was in the top three in the league for rebound 50s and was recognised for his efforts with a spot in the half-back line in the All-Australian team this year. There's talk of him pushing up to the midfield in 2018, but Docherty remains one of the more damaging half-back players at this present time.
12. Matt Crouch – Adelaide
Pre-Season Ranking: N/A
Career Games: 72
Career Goals: 17
Matt Crouch is one of those players that will have many casual AFL fans asking 'Where did he come from?' but the truth is that this young man has been steadily building his game over the past 24 months and exploded in 2017 by averaging 33 disposals per game, six clearances, five tackles, three inside 50s and three marks per game. Incredibly enough, Crouch never recorded anything less than 27 disposals in any of his 25 games this season and was deservedly awarded Adelaide's best and fairest as well as a spot on the All-Australian team – A budding star of the competition.
11. Joe Daniher – Essendon
Pre-Season Ranking: N/A
Career Games: 93
Career Goals: 173
Joe Daniher is the kind of player that will bring people to the footy, he can take awesome grabs he can kick match-winning bags of goals and at 23 years of age he's already proven he is going to be a star in the AFL. Season 2017 saw Daniher go from 43 goals in 2016 to 65.39 this year from an average of 15 disposals, six marks and three inside 50s per game, and was rightfully recognised with a spot in the All-Australian team, as well as taking home Essendon's Crichton Medal as the Bombers' best and fairest. Very unlucky not to make the top 10, but there will be no doubt he will become a top 10 player sooner rather than later.
You don't want to miss the final edition of this five-part series as we present the top 10 AFL players of the 2017 season on Friday morning.

We like everything about this FJ resto mod: from the PPG paint to the 3.9 liter Cummins diesel and everything in between. It looks like an incredibly solid build while not being over the top or too nice to use. No doubt this rig is beyond our budget, but we like its usability and stock look over some other "iconic" vehicles.
The only thing that strikes us as odd about this build is that it's based on a 1971 model so it doesn't have the ambulance doors that are our preference. Lack of ambulance doors notwithstanding, the builder claims that it was a solid base to build from, and build they did.
The big seller here is the Cummins 4BT diesel motor mated to a NV4500 5 speed. The seller claims 180 HP with the HX35 turbo which strikes us as a bit high based on stock 4BT specs but whatever that number is, the setup provides a huge upgrade over the stock gas motor in terms of power and torque.
The conversion cost $25,000 and was "tuned to perfection by a world renowned diesel mechanic here in Denver, no black smoke and starts in seconds." We'd be interested in the age of the motor as well as getting some details about the new transfer case.
Additional enhancements include disc brakes (we're assuming all around), new wiring, a new exhaust, and good looking BFG KM2's over the original steel wheels. A 2 inch Old Man Emu lift accomodates the 31 inch tires though the seller's claim of an $8,500 price tag for "ride and comfort" strikes us as both high and off as OME lifts never ranked high on the comfort scale for us.
Outside the "Scanda Blue" paint is a favorite, or near match of a favorite on these FJ's with white roofs. All new upholstery inside looks good up front with a 3-across setup and maybe a little too authentic in the back where things look a bit baggy. We'd be interested how old the paint work is as there is some slight wear and corrosion showing on internal metal edges.
The dash looks clean and age-appropriate which we dig -- neat but not new or too clean. That's the general vibe of this truck, it's a great build but not too nice to actually use as a daily driver. The rigs that the Icon boys put out are impressive, but they somehow aren't even trucks by the time they're done with them. This one is still a truck and can be used like one, if you've got the cash to play.

IE if i "aquire" say a 360 game, and it needs Quickparring to correct (i did this today for a game, which only needed a few bytes here and there repairing) is taking my PC around the 25 minute mark to do this. Then using WinRAR to extract this said game which clocks in at about a 6gig rar file (split into multiple parts) about a further 25 minutes to extract. Am i being picky or is this par for the course. Im sure my old PC which was quite alot slower on paper than this one was alot quicker. There isnt really any garbage on my hard drive, its quite tidy and such but im not sure what it could be.

TGIF is a weekly meme hosted at GReads.
This week's question is:
"Quotes That Make You Swoon: What are some of the most swoon-worthy quotes you've experienced in a book?"
"You are my heart, my life, my entire existence"
-Ash, The Iron Queen
"Touch her, and I'll freeze your testicles off and put them in a jar. Understand?"
–Ash, The Iron King
"His breath hitched, and he regarded my hungrily. 'You're playing with fire, you know that?'"
–Ash, Winter's Passage
"I just want to spend every possibly minute of the rest of my life with you"
-Peeta, Catching Fire
"I won't let this be my good-bye. I've folded one thousand paper crane memories of me and Grace, and I've made my wish. I will find a cure. And then I will find Grace."
-Sam, Linger
"'I can't just storm in and proclaim my intentions. I can't 'steal' you away. I just have to wait and hope that, someday, you'll ask.'
'And if I don't?' Laurel said, her voice barley above a whisper.
'Then I guess I'll wait forever.'"
-Laurel and Tamani, Spells
"I closed my eyes," he repeated after a few shallow breaths, "and imagined she was you."
Tamani, Illusions
There are soooo many more, but I'll leave you with these.

Book v. Movie: Hunger Games
I'm still trying to get through City of Bones. I have some free time this weekend so I'm hoping I'm going to finish it this weekend. I bough 3 new books last night at B&N: Hush, Hush (It was only 4.99!). The Ghost and The Goth. And one other that I can't remember right this second. I'll let you know when I remember!
Until Next Time!


text: You would expect that taking over a company like the well-known Amsterdam-based Nam Kee restaurants would be more than enough to start with, right? Well, for brothers Cliff and Polo Chan, the opposite appeared to be the case as they decided to open Eat Mode in the same year. "Of course we didn't just take over the restaurants at once. It went quite gradually," Cliff explains. "And our father is still giving us very useful advice." The reason they started with Eat Mode is quite simple: while Nam Kee is focused solely on the Cantonese cuisine, Cliff and Polo strongly felt the desire to create a place where different influences could meet.
