The process of our award winning designs
This is how we make sure that you end up with your special garden, not our special garden designed to fit your space.
Stage 1 – Your Wish List
First, we would send you a "wish list" which we ask you to fill out (largely by ticking boxes), together with any pictures you may have. You may have some conflicting ideas, but that doesn't matter. It's our job to find the best solutions that fit your dreams, while being functional, matching the building and adding value.
Stage 2 – Working Together
Next is the initial Landscape Design Consultation where we go through your Wish List, ask a lot of questions and listen intently so we fully understand your needs and desires. We discuss and explain what is best and why and what can be achieved most effectively.
At the end of the consultation (allow a couple of hours) you will be very clear on how the details of how your garden can be constructed to fulfill on your dreams, add value and support the architecture that adds value over what you spend and approximate costs for different options
Stage 3 – Design
From there we can proceed with your landscape design. Because we have done the preliminary work with you, this is why we get it right, so you have a fabulous landscape that will take your breath away.
Stage 4 – Construction
Who better to coordinate the creation of your own personal paradise than the people who sat with you and listened to just what personal paradise meant for you? We take the headaches and sleepless nights, the arguments and stress off your hands out of dealing with councils and contractors. We are your advocate to coordinate the trades to not take short cuts and comply with all construction information.
Stage 5 – Living in Paradise
Every day that you live with an Outdoor Creation is a day where you can step outside and instantly feel fantastic, because we can maintain it for you.

Michelle Collocott in conversation with Steven Miller
SM: The whole series is called
MC: Three Ponds. The works in this exhibition are series C, part B. Series A was topographical and aerial. There were about fifteen of those. Series B was about the impact of the drought, the dryness in 2002. There were only eight or nine paintings here and they weren't large. Then Three Ponds, series C, came at a time when I knew that I had to make changes again. The first fifteen paintings were shown last year, and these are the last fifteen.
SM: Maybe people don't know about Three Ponds, the place
MC: Central Tablelands; sub-Alpine climate; an area generally called Black Springs; seasonally affected, so that you get the full range from the winter and the snow through to the rolling summer climate, with fields and hay.
SM: And when did you first get property there?
MC: We have to think in terms of my first discovery of it, which was after 1969, coming back from England, knowing that a sense of the dimension of the seasons was going to be important, and looking everywhere from the Northern Tablelands down to the Victorian border.
SM: What comes first, the landscape and then the artwork? How do they feed into each other?
MC: Knowing who one is, in the sense of what makes you tick, and then finding those places or those mechanisms that accentuate your passion, then as an artist you can start to play with it like theatre. It becomes a set, you've got the weather and the climate which create the dimensions of theatre, and then you transfer all that back into painting.
SM: And why has landscape been a constant theme in your art?
MC: That's my childhood. I still come back to the idea of who we are comes from our childhood The paintings don't set out to be true to place, other than being a mechanism and a structure to work inside of. The structures are related Michelle Collocott in conversation with Steven Miller to place, but the way the paintings evolved and developed just became part of the studio environment.
SM: There is quite a lot of text in them.
MC: They are also multi-layered, in that you've got images within images. You've got repeats. It's like looking down a well. I'm interested in the ripple effect and although they are two dimensional and flat, what I like is the idea of layering, like looking into water. You stand on the edge of your dam and you see the water and then maybe you see a fish and then you start to see the reflections behind it, the barns and the trees.They are also in four parts which had to be joined back together. Digital scanning only allowed certain sizes of paper.
SM: A digital scan of what?
MC: Of an original sketch, of a tiny original sketch.
SM: But they don't all use a digital scan, some of them are direct paintings onto the surface?
MC: They all have the digital scan.
SM: So in a sense you are working from a sketch as the basis for the works.
MC: I suppose, but it is all one sketch. If you look at every one, you will find a part of that original sketch They are simply a vehicle for one person's journey, using certain technical skills that were passed on to me at East Sydney, when I was at the art school 50 years ago. That's all it is. Amongst them, hopefully somebody will think "that's a good painting'. I have no sense of whether they are worthwhile paintings or not.
SM: No, I'm sure you do. MC: No, I don't. It's quite subjective.
SM: Subjective, but not totally random. They are created and orchestrated.
MC: Yeah, but you have to work that out. I don't know that.
SM: But when you are working on one you are making these decisions all the time: where is this going to go. You were talking about the repeats and echoes.
MC: When you are working on them, you don't sit back thinking of those things. I am inside them…I love this idea of playing around with layering. You are guiding the eye through and over things. Is this on top of that or that on top of this? You get an oscillation between surface levels. Then you have license to do something lyrical, so you stick in some birds. You might go from the cerebral and meaningful to just sticking in some birds or a worm. Every now and then you need something structural, which is divisive, to change the rhythm of the surface. If the red is that strong, you really need something to bounce against it, otherwise the red just swallows the whole surface.
SM: Formal considerations; this proves that you give very serious thought to these things.
MC: That's my problem.
SM: I don't see it as a problem.
MC: It's a problem for me, because I would like to be another sort of painter.
SM: Every painter wants to be another type of painter. You would like your work to be looser.
MC: I suppose. This is a problem with being a painter. You basically want to stretch your parameters all the time, either perception wise or physical wise or application wise.

Strategist | Writer | Advocate
Thank you for visiting my website.
Politics and the common good
Strategist | Writer | Advocate
Thank you for visiting my website.
I'm Jacob Lupfer, a political strategist and writer living near Baltimore. I specialize in political reform and have a passion for candidates, organizations, and causes that are not represented by either of the two major parties or their consultant/vendor/interest group universes. Last year, my projects and clients included a major anti-racism event, building the Independent movement, supporting ranked choice voting, and advising Independent and Democratic congressional candidates.
In 2019, I am working to ensure that President Donald Trump's re-nomination is contested through fair and open primaries with no collusion or rigging by Republican Party bosses. This winter, I'll be launching at least one consulting firm and several PACs focused on disrupting the two-party duopoly. I'm also involved in a major political reform project with an unnamed client.
Most of my journalistic work is commentary and news analysis, though I enjoy editorial projects and consulting as well. I am a contributing editor at Religion News Service, a nonsectarian wire service specializing in coverage of religion, ethics, and ideas. My writing has also been published by The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, Commonweal, and other national outlets.
A longtime student and observer of the institutional life of American Christianity, I am often asked to speak and advise on trends and controversies across the American religous landscape. I generally affirm a robust role for religious values and expression in the public square, contingent on constitutional limits and broad tolerance. My greatest advocacy passion is promoting religious freedom in the United States and around the world.
I resonate with English composer John Rutter, who describes himself as a "friend and fellow-traveler of the Christian faith." My ecumenical impulses are strong. I count it a privilege to have many friends and colleagues among clergy and lay leaders in faith-based activism of all political and theological stripes. My intimate associations with diverse aspects of American political and religious life provide a constant stream of ideas, opinions, and tensions that I explore in my writing.
My wife and I have three children under 7. I work mostly from our home near Relay, Maryland (Baltimore County) and from various locations in Washington, D.C.
No one is as good or as bad as they seem on the internet. I assure you the same is true of me.

July's stitching wasn't quite as prolific as I had hoped, but I did still manage to get through the few bits and pieces I had set myself as a target.
I would like August to have more to show for it in the end, so I have spent some time this weekend sorting and gathering projects in the hope that it will motivate me to find the time to work through them.
I would so love August to be the month I finally finish my hexagons quilt. Not sure I should make a promise on that but with a bit of a push maybe I could actually do it.
These fabulous donated fabrics are cut and ready for a new quilt top for Bee Blessed.
Fiona is Queen Bee this month in our hipBees so her fabrics should arrive soon to be attended to. Rumour has it that Amy Butler is on the way!
Then, there are my FQR projects, maybe I'll call them WIPs rather than UFOs just yet. My "Small Things" embroidery which I would like to finish but also want to take the time to practice some new stitches on the way.
And, of course these two blocks from the portholes class which will make a pretty cushion for the sewing room.
I took this pack of brooches away to FQR to make up in my "free" moments, but basically did too much chatting so they're still awaiting my attention! I've added a few more bits and bobs to increase the yield and hope these might be saleable at the next Bee Blessed exhibition day.
Lastly, this selection of pretty aquas and linen are for something special, but I can't tell you that now (and that doesn't mean I'm writing a book as it seems that's what people say when they are).
Enough to motivate or to overwhelm me? I'm not sure, but I do know that having a plan is often the best way for me to achieve at least some of the sewing I want to. So fingers crossed.
What are your plans for August?

Campus Corner
Mixed opinions abound on Shane Ray's fate ahead of NFL Draft
Former Missouri defensive end Shane Ray will learn his NFL fate and how much Monday's citation for marijuana possession hurt his stock in the 2015 NFL Draft tonight — at least, he hopes so.
Ray, 21, was a consensus top-10 pick early in the draft process, but concerns about a lingering hyperextended right toe injury he suffered in the Citrus Bowl moved him down some draft boards.
First-round selections will be made tonight in Chicago, but, if the combination of the toe injury and the possession citation push him into the second round or later, he might have to wait until Friday night before being drafted.
The toe injury left Ray, MU's single-season sack leader with 14 1/2 last year on the way to SEC defensive player of the year honors, unable to work out during February's NFL Combine and led to a less eye-popping than expected pro day in mid-March.
Ray was then stopped for speeding and failure to drive in the right lane of a highway of more than two lanes early Monday morning in Cooper County, Mo., near Boonville.
The Missouri Highway Patrol trooper smelled fresh — not burning — marijuana and found a small amount in a compartment of the car.
Ray, a Bishop Miege graduate from Kansas City was issued a citation for possession of less than 35 grams of marijuana, a Class A misdemeanor, and improper lane usage. He also was given a warning for speeding and released. He has a June 30 court date in Cooper County.
Combined with an NFL.com report that Ray failed a drug test early in his career at Missouri, many analysts project a sizable draft-day slide.
Also, according to info from 5 NFL teams, Shane Ray failed a drug test early on in his career at Missouri. That comes back to haunt him now.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) April 28, 2015
"The decision-making variable here, the irresponsibility, the choice that he made only one week before arguably the biggest day of his life, you have to question his ability to make the right decision …" said Bryan Perez, co-owner of DraftBreakdown.com. "I do think it will have an impact and I think it will drop him in the draft, because it's hard to have a confidence in a guy who makes such a poor decision in such an important week in his life."
Of course, Perez wasn't high on Ray to begin with, believing that he's a one-trick pony who only wins with speed off the edge. He gave Ray a second-round grade, but still thinks the possession citation might cause him to slide as far as the third round.
Other draft analysts forecast a considerably higher draft ceiling for Ray and expect him to slide, but perhaps only to the end of the first round.
"Shane Ray brings a little bit of immediate-impact pass-rush ability and, because of the value of pass rushers in today's NFL, I still think he's got a very good chance of being selected somewhere in the last 10 picks of the first round," said Rob Rang, a senior NFL Draft analyst for the Sports Xchange and CBSSports.com.
Rang projected Ray to go No. 24 overall to Arizona before Ray's marijuana citation.
"There's very much a possibility that he winds up falling into the second round," Rang said. "But I don't believe it's all just because of Monday's news. No question, it will have an impact. The timing of it is obviously troubling, because you'd like think the young man is preparing himself for the responsibility of being a first-round NFL player."
Of course, Ray isn't the only player with first-round talent but off-field red flags.
Former Missouri wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, arguably the most talented wide receiver in the draft, has on- and off-field concerns, including the alleged burglary and assault that got him booted from the Tigers last April.
Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory, another of the draft's elite edge rushers, failed a drug test at the NFL Combine.
LSU cornerback Jalen Collins, one of the draft's top cornerbacks, reportedly failed several drug tests in college.
Florida State defensive tackle Eddie Goldman, one of the top players at his position, reportedly failed two drug tests in college.
Presumptive No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston from Florida State has a litany of off-field issues, including an investigation into his role in an alleged sexual assault.
LSU offensive tackle La'el Collins, a potential first-round pick, isn't a suspect, but he left the NFL Draft after he was sought for questioning in the murder of a former girlfriend, who is pregnant and was shot to death Friday in Louisiana.
Former Washington cornerback Marcus Peters, arguably the top corner available, was kicked off the Huskies in November after repeated clashes with coach Chris Petersen.
It sets up for an intriguing draft as teams must weigh the risk of investing big dollars in highly talented players who, in some cases, enter the league with a strike against.
Ray (and Gregory along with others) will enter Stage 1 of the NFL's substance-abuse program upon entering the league, which requires random drug testing for at least three and usually no more than six months, according to former agent Joel Corry.
Ray called several teams and also met with several others in the days since his citation for possession, but such issues put NFL general managers in a tenuous position after a 2014 season defined in some ways by domestic violence allegations against Ray Rice and Greg Hardy as well as Adrian Peterson's child-abuse plea agreement.
"This is the boom-or-bust draft …," Rang said. "We talk about boom-or-bust players every year, but it's pretty rare that this many players who are this good have thing kind of problem."
Still, talent often trumps all in player evaluations.
"It's always going to be enticing for us, regardless of their issues, if they have tremendous skills," Arizona general manager Steve Keim told reporters earlier this month. "I've said this before, if Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3 (second 40-yard dash), we'd probably diagnose it as an eating disorder, you know. … To me, if you look at players and you say he's a complete player, does he play hard, does he play smart and does he play physical. If you can check the boxes, then I think you have a chance."
As a player, Ray checks those boxes.
It remains to be seen whether there is an NFL general manager who is willing to look past the off-field transgression and bring him into the fold Thursday or whether Ray will be the lonely soul sitting alone in the green room at the Auditorium Theatre.

These early Beistle catalogs almost never surface, so for the seller to offer it as BIN with a paltry price of $75 was an error, reinforced by the fact that it sold in less than 75 minutes. These catalogs, different from the Dennison Bogie Books in that they were meant for retailers and not end-user consumers, show the varied items Beistle was offering at the time, some of which were never offered again. For that reason alone, these catalogs are superb research tools. I regret that I didn't see this as it would have had a treasured place in my library.

The biggest challenges facing us are made up of complex, interconnected parts. People need better ways to understand the full picture.
That's why we're here.
Climate Interactive is a not-for-profit organization based in Washington DC. Our team helps people see what works to address climate change and related issues like energy, health, food security, and disaster risk reduction. Our easy-to-use, tangible, scientifically-grounded tools as well as our programs for engagement help people see for themselves what options exist today to shape the future they want to see.
How we work
We create simulation models and interactive tools, such as the C-ROADS climate policy simulator, the En-ROADS energy policy and investment simulator, and the Climate Pathways mobile app.
We inspire audiences to understand and act on our current challenges by leading and disseminating interactive role-playing games like World Climate and World Energy, creating a visual tool to help people understand the UN climate pledges, and teaching system dynamics, systems thinking, and organizational learning.
We help organizations and governments improve their strategies, such as mapping how policymakers can improve health and jumpstart the economy while also reducing climate change and modeling ways to improve food security and adapt to climate change with climate-smart agriculture.
When it comes to helping people understand the big picture and see what works to address our biggest challenges, we draw on a suite of approaches, many of them developed at MIT in the fields of system dynamics and organizational learning. Our team benefits from decades of experience and mentorship from leaders like Dana Meadows, John Sterman and Peter Senge.
We start with a belief in people
We believe that when people learn by experiencing rather than being told the facts, they gain a deeper understanding of a challenge and the best ways to address it.
And we believe that, with the right information and experience, people will take the actions necessary to create a future in which we all can thrive.
So our tools, simulations, and trainings are all designed to make people better at understanding and more effective at addressing the complex, interconnected challenges we face. Our approaches help people to:
- Focus on Leverage. After using our simulations people understand, at a deep level, which policies and strategies are more likely to make a big impact.
- See The Big Picture. Often people can only drill down into one area of a complex human/natural system. Our simulations help people see the whole picture and watch it play out over the long-term.
- Learn. When people ask customized "What If" questions and get immediate answers, they build their capacity to act on their insights.
- Communicate Effectively. Teams develop graphs, messages, powerful numbers, and overall communication that enroll others in effective action.
- Ground Conversations. Our simulations bring scientific and economic rigor to group workshops and strategic discussions.
- Stitch Together Analyses. For many complex issues, people will often have access to a number of different sources of numerical and technical analysis. Our modelers integrate and summarize the relevant information and make it useful to the challenges at hand.
Our Roots
Climate Interactive was founded by Drew Jones and Beth Sawin at Sustainability Institute (now the Donella Meadows Institute) in 2005.
Five roots undergird our efforts:
- The vision of Dana Meadows. Prof. Meadows was a longtime mentor to several our staff and an advocate for the approach at the core of Climate Interactive: combine scientifically-grounded analysis with advanced learning technologies and a positive vision for a sustainable world.
- System Dynamics simulation modeling at MIT's Sloan School of Management. Much of our staff are MIT-trained system dynamicists. Our work builds on the global modeling work at MIT in the early 1970s, John Sterman's ~1979 MIT PHD dissertation on energy dynamics, and Tom Fiddaman's (now of Ventana Systems) 1997 MIT PhD dissertation on his integrated assessment model, NICE.
- Commitment to "open architecture sharing." As described here, Marv Adams, Mike Richards, Peter Senge (MIT/SoL), Michelle Erickson (Erickson Strategies), Chris Johnson (ifPeople), Drew Jones (Climate Interactive), John Sterman (MIT) and others envisioned a way to impact the world with accessible simulation models by making them available for adaptation and extension.
- Investment in contexts and settings for learning. Work at MIT, Sustainability Institute (now the Donella Meadows Institute), and other institutions has built our capacity to create simulation interfaces, role-playing policy exercises, and workshop approaches that help people generate actionable insights from their interaction with simulations and other thinking tools. More specifically, simulation exercises such as the Beer Game, Strategem, and FishBanks Ltd. by Jay Forrester, Dennis Meadows, John Sterman and others, have set us up to design the World Climate Exercise. Further, advancements in how to channel grief and despair about climate futures into productive action by Beth Sawin and Phil Rice in Sustainability Institute's "Our Climate Ourselves" program has informed our approaches.
- Engagement in climate, sustainability, energy, and resilience strategy at national and international levels.
Climate Interactive is a fiscally sponsored project of the New Venture Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, DC. If we can help you or your team on a project please contact us.

Last weekend, a woman was brutally beaten and raped on a Madison East side bike path. The incident has garnered a lot of attention from community members, and a march is being held tonight.
I'm happy to see the attention this is getting, but I'm also concerned. I'm concerned that the myth of "all rapists are strangers to the victim/survivor" will prevail. I'm concerned that we aren't having a broader discussion on rape culture, and what is at the root cause of it: misogyny and patriarchy. I'm concerned that after this march tonight, the community will forget. I'm concerned that the three people who reported being sexually assaulted in their dorms in the two weeks since school has began will feel like what happened to them wasn't "that bad", and thus, not "worthy" of community support. I'm concerned that by creating a fundraiser for this one specific survivor is a straight-up "fuck you" to all other survivors--some of which, may have needed money for hospital stays, therapy, etc, when we could also be giving money to Dane County Rape Crisis Center and Domestic Abuse Intervention Services. I'm concerned that our police will continue to discredit and victim blame survivors. I'm concerned that too many people believe we just "live in a bad world."
Though, I'm glad the Madison Police Dept are taking this most recent rape and attempted homicide so seriously, I wish they would choose to take ALL rapes that are reported this seriously. This is just another reason why I'm glad I never reported my rape that happened on UW-Madison's campus 11 years ago. Stranger rape still seems to trump partner rape and that really concerns me.
Methods of prevention work to some extent, but they're really just a band-aid for a much bigger issue. Rape culture is pervasive, and we need to stop it. Continuously telling women (or anyone) to "protect yourself" is putting the onus on the potential victim/survivor, and NOT where it should be--on the people in society who commit such atrocious acts. Telling someone to "protect" themselves is already assuming that rape and violence are inevitable.
Our police need to be educated. Our community (specifically the men in our community) need to be educated. The fact that women are told we shouldn't walk around at night (but men do it freely, often without a second thought) shows we live in a rape culture and it's unacceptable. Women have been taking charge of making sure men don't rape us since the beginning of time, and I'm beyond tired of it.

- Description
The Seymour Duncan SHR1B is a high output single-coil-size "rails" humbucker perfect for the Stratocaster. There is a long list of musical genres that you can explore with this pickup, such as classic rock, garage, punk, heavy rock, thrash, classic metal and nu-metal.
The SHR-1B Hot Rails Humbucker is one of the highest output and most popular pickups Seymour Duncan make. The two thin blades, strong ceramic magnet and powerful coil windings of the SHR-1B give you the incredible sustain and a fat, full-bodied sound that's needed for playing heavier rock music. The SHR-1B Hot Rails responds to the subtlest finger movements. The pickup comes with a ceramic magnet and 4-conductor lead wire for several wiring options. The pickup has been wax potted for noise-free operation, ensuring a crystal clear output.
The pickup is available for both bridge or neck/middle positions. For an incredibly versatile guitar, use an SHR-1B in the bridge position along with an SVR-1n Vintage Rails in the middle and an SCR-1n Cool Rails in the neck.
The SHR1B is capable of delivering excellent midrange harmonics and an aggressive crunch despite its high output. Plus, each single note played sizzles wonderfully. It's safe to say that this single coil rails sized humbucker can totally transform your Strat to sound like no other.
There has been a vast amount of famous musicians using the SHR1B pickup, from Janick Gers and Dave Murray of Iron Maiden, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, to Greg Camp of Smashmouth.
As with all Seymour Duncan pickups, the quality of the SHR1B is absolutely excellent.

Just like any other 5 year old boy, Fanuel has hopes and dreams for his future…
"When I grow up, I want to become a doctor so that I can help other children like me."
Yet Fanuel's parents were concerned that that their youngest son would never have a chance of achieving his dreams, all because he was born with Phocomelia, a rare birth defect which, in Fanuel's case, resulted in his limbs underdeveloping.
Fanuel has encountered many barriers in his life already. As he struggles to balance well, Fanuel spent much of his early childhood lying down at home and was left feeling completely isolated. Whilst his parents struggled to find a school that would accept him because of his disability, his older brother left the house each day to attend school with his friends. Fanuel's mother attempted to enrol him in a number of schools, but he was refused each and every time. She eventually lost all hope and had to make the heart-breaking decision to keep Fanuel at home.
It was after she had been forced to make this decision that Fanuel's mother caught wind of a project called 'Take All my Friends to School' as a result of some local advocacy work close to where the family live. She attended a Parent Support Group meeting, run at a nearby school, which taught her about inclusive education and disability rights. The group reassured her that the teachers involved in this project have received specific training on teaching disabled children and she was advised to enrol Fanuel at a school linked with the project.
Fanuel started school at once! He is enjoying every single day and is finally able to learn and play with other children his own age and is extremely happy that he is now able to leave the house alongside his brother instead of being forced to stay at home.
Want to know more about the project?
AbleChildAfrica has been working with Child Support Tanzania, which is based in Mbeya, southern Tanzania, since 2007 and in 2015 received funding from Jersey Overseas Aid to deliver a similar project on a smaller scale. Since then, the 'Take All my Friends to School' campaign has organised charity walks and open days, the launch of a local petition for inclusive education, the piloting of teacher training packages, as well as the provision of educational materials that have been distributed within the community.
In 2017, AbleChildAfrica and Child Support Tanzania were able to launch a scale-up of the project to further increase the access, quantity and quality of inclusive education. This four-year programme, which is supported by Comic Relief, primarily works with 8 primary schools and early childhood centres in Mbeya. By training teachers, children and parents in the inclusive Child-to-Child methodology developed by AbleChildAfrica and our partner Ugandan Society for Disabled Children in Uganda, this project is taking a child-led approach to breaking down the barriers that prevent disabled children from going to school. The project identifies out-of-school disabled children in the surrounding communities and supports them to enrol into mainstream government schools, making inclusive education a reality in Mbeya. Crucially, the project is continuing to work closely with the government in working towards both local and national commitments to inclusive education to ensure children across Tanzania are able to benefit from the fantastic results that the project is seeing.
Fanuel is just one example of a child whose life has been transformed as a result of this project…

|Biography :
|Much has been written about Finlay Malcolm; a Loyalist, sea faring Captain, a builder of ships and homes. He moved from Scotland to New York to Maine to New Brunswick to the Long Point Settlement and eventually Scotland, Ontario. He was a politically active man who made sure his family settled and did not sail the sea. He married the great granddaughter of Samuel Wardwell a man who was hanged as a witch at the Salem witch trials on September 22, 1692. They had 10 sons and 5 daughters.
During the American Revolution, Findlay Malcolm was well established in Penobscot, Maine. He had land, two ships, a sloop called the Thomas and a Schooner called the Enterprise. He supplied lumber to Fort George that was situated on the island at the mouth of the Penobscot River and during the long siege of 1776 was the only civilian admitted to the Fort without a pass.
In 1783, along with the rest of the Penobscot Loyalists who sought shelter at Fort George (today known as Castine), Findlay moved to New Brunswick after he disposed of his land in Maine to his brother-in-law, Jere Wardwell. He wood-framed his salt box house and loaded it along with others' framed houses onto ships to be transported to their new land allocated to them along the St. Croix River at St. Andrews, New Brunswick. By 1774, they were relocated and documented.
Findlay moved again in 1776 and again, he dispensed with his property. This time Findlay Sr.'s move was said to be made to discourage his sons from taking up an occupation as he had done of sea faring. Baby Duncan, named after Findlay's Dad, was born on board ship in the St. Lawrence River. Continuing true to his principles of community mindedness, Findlay petitioned for land in the Long Point District of Upper Canada where he requested land for himself and the 15 families he was bringing with him. He also requested an additional 200 acres for his large family. He settled in the area of Oakland, Ontario, exactly four miles west of Scotland, Ontario. His lovely home that once included an orchard still stands as a Heritage House on Oakland Road.
Oakland and Scotland are close to where Joseph Brant, Chief of the Mohawks, was relocated. Brant was a well-respected Loyalist himself and was granted land by King George III. It was his people who instructed the Malcolm wives as to medical remedies. The wives of Findlay's six sons plus Findlay's own wife became so versed in the aboriginal medicinal ways that the advice and instruction they practiced was said to be a challenge to the livelihoods of the medical doctors who later arrived in the area.
Today, owned by Findlay's descendants, the Heritage Home in Scotland, Ontario, continues to hold the stories and secrets of political battles and clandestine meetings in regard to both the war of 1812 with its battles at Malcolm's Mills (the location of the Militia in the area) and the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837 designed by William Lyon McKenzie. In 1837, the Finlay home was owned by Findlay Malcolm III. With a reward of 250 pounds on his head for treasonous activity, this Findlay narrowly avoided being vanquished to Australia by Queen Victoria. Instead, the Queen herself decided to give him a Bible and told him to live by it and go back to Canada and care for his family. The Bible is owned by a young genealogy buff, Tami Day, of Blenheim, Ontario.
When Tryphena Malcolm, Finlay's daughter, married Abraham Chapman, she exercised the right as a Loyalist to petition for 200 acres of land which she duly received in Raleigh Township, Kent County, as recorded. The story goes that she immediately turned around and sold it for a profit.

Rutabaga is a root vegetable you should get acquainted with in the kitchen.
(Ed Murray/The Star-Ledger)
As we enter the final days of winter, I'm amazed there are still locally sourced fruits and vegetables available at market. I feel such a surge of pride in New Jersey's farmers who work so hard during the growing season. Thankfully they create a secret stash of hardy produce to get us through the winter.
We greedily gobbled up their carrots and apples. But have you tried the rutabaga? This funny looking root vegetable with the awkward name is most likely not the first item you rushed to snag at the indoor farmers markets this winter. Let's remedy that.
Heavy and dense, choose just a few to bring home. Deep flavor lies in the golden flesh beneath the skin. Break out your cleaver or sharpest knife to chop it into manageable slices and then dice. Watch those fingers!
Anything prepared gratin style is comforting. Alice Waters pairs thinly sliced rutabaga, parsnips and a generous helping of dried red marash pepper in a creamy sauce before baking the combination to a golden bubbly bliss state. Put this on the table with Sunday's pot roast.
Rutabagas willingly hop into the soup pot. For a refined choice, simmer them with aromatics and then puree before adding cream and the allure of smoky flavor in a smoked paprika rutabaga bisque. Chef Patrick O'Connell of The Inn at Little Washington in Washington, VA chooses to combine rutabaga with other storage crops - apple, sweet potato, carrot and butternut squash to prepare a velvety soup that is sweetened with a bit of maple syrup. When I visited O'Connell in his kitchen a few years ago, Gregorian chants played over the sound system as cooks silently prepared the meal. Listening to such ancient music while cooking really connects us to the culinary history of a food's past. Imagine a cook making a rutabaga soup in a cauldron in the scullery of a stone castle four thousand years ago and then fast forward to today's more modern kitchen. Much has changed over time but the beauty of a simple soup remains.
For a more substantial offering try a hash with onions and crisp bacon. from "Roots: The Definitive Compendium with more than 225 Recipes" by Diane Morgan (Chronicle Books, $40) For anyone interested in cooking seasonally and getting through the winter, this James Beard Foundation Cookbook Award winner for 2013 is a must have.
Add a generous dollop of horseradish to mashed rutabaga for an excellent side dish to corned beef or a quickly pan seared steak.
Save room for dessert. Surprise your guests with a rutabaga pie. All of the spices in a pumpkin pie are folded into whipped rutabaga. Care for another slice?
Next time you see this strange little root at the market, I hope you bring some home.

I came across this article, written on the Israeli magazine website 972mag at the time of Protective Edge. 300 survivors of the holocaust had taken an advertisement out in the New York Times to say that they dissociated themselves from Protective Edge, the bombing and attack on Gaza and the mass killing inflicted on a largely civilian population by state-of-the-art Israeli planes.
The reaction of a section and not a small section of the Right in Israel was to take to social media to wish death upon those who wrote and not merely death, but a desire that Hitler had finished the work and killed them too in the gas chambers.
How you might ask has it come to it that a state that calls itself Jewish is the harbinger of those who wish to see a holocaust perpetrated against their Jewish enemies? If someone who was non-Jewish in Britain and most other European countries told someone who is Jewish that they wish they had also died in the holocaust they would be liable to prosecution for hate crimes, incitement to racial hatred etc. In Israel such comments are made with impunity.
I have previously covered instances of the use of 'Hitler was right' directed against the Israeli left before in relation to protests at the eviction of Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah in Jerusalem, but this article by Ami Kaufman demonstrates that such individual reactions are commonplace on the right in Israel.
Why is this so? On one level an increasing number of Israelis, mainly from the religious Zionist and nationalist sectors identify the Nazis as strong, like Israelis, and the Palestinians as being the counterpart of the Nazis' victims, the weak European Jews. The traditional attitude of Israeli Jews to the holocaust survivors when they came to Israel in the post-war period was to despise them. They were termed 'sapon' (soap) after the widespread myth that the bodies of Jews had been turned into soap. [see Tom Segev's The 7th Million]
This attitude was downplayed post 1967 as the Holocaust began to be increasingly used as an ideological weapon in the war against the Palestinians and anti-Zionism.
But the Left in Israel, because it is seen as being 'weak' just like the Jews of the diaspora therefore brings upon itself a new holocaust. Indeed according to this warped thinking they actually deserve to have been killed in the Holocaust. This is the logical culmination of the Zionist nationalism. It identifies with the Jews' historical enemies because they were, at least, strong.

'Asher Solomon: It's a shame Hitler didn't finish the job.'
By Ami Kaufman August 25, 2014
Nope, it's not The Onion.
A few days ago some 300 Holocaust survivors placed an ad in the New York Times condemning the massacre in Gaza. My colleague from Local Call, John Brown, has selected a few of the responses on Facebook that Israelis posted in response to the ad.
I've translated a few from John's selection:
David Cohen: Those aren't Holocaust survivors those are probably collaborators with the Nazis.
Shmulik Halphon: He's invited to go back to Auschwitz.
Itzik Levy: These are survivors who were Kapos. Leftist traitors. That's why they live abroad and not in the Jewish State.
Vitali Guttman: Enough, they should die already. They survived the Holocaust only to do another Holocaust to Israel in global public opinion?
Meir Dahan: No wonder Hitler murdered 6 million Jews because of people like you you're not even Jews you're disgusting people a disgrace to humanity and so are your offspring you are trash.
Asher Solomon: It's a shame Hitler didn't finish the job.
Katy Morali: Holocaust survivors who think like this are invited to go die in the gas chambers.
Israelis lash out against holocaust survivors who oppose 'Protective Edge'

Welding the cells into sticks is not trivial, but the guy at Hybid Pack Repair has a setup that does that. It would be great to get ready built sticks. Where can you get the Better Cells?MitchJi wrote: Better Cells are easy to find. How difficult or expensive would it be to have six high quality NiMH D Cells welded, or otherwise fastened together in a satisfactory manner?
With a plug-in booster pack, properly configured I bet you could get a lot of the benefits of the hack (which AFAIK doesn't work with the Civic) of the hack. IE not having the motor start charging the pack going up hill, at least until the booster pack was depleted.
You are right, the MIMA is only for the Insight. The Civic version has not been developed yet, but should be possible.

"They're not pets, so don't get too attached to them." Commander 701 hissed the words gently for he remembered his own first spin around Earth orbit. And the second, and the third, and what it means to be posted here for a lifetime studying the humans as they messed it all up.
With no warning, he took his hands clear off the controls. It was just enough to start a little high speed wobble for the auto-assist to correct. A sideways glance at the co-pilot seat showed the younger reptilian was now fully focused on the re-entry protocols. He could relax as he said, "You take the ship down."
Cadet 13,012 replied briskly and correctly, "Sir-yes-Sir. Humans are not pets. No Sir. What we think about them is in no way mission critical and anyway, everything will be changing soon if the invasion force keeps to schedule. Taking us down now."
Just for a moment, Commander 701reached over and gently touched the firm young scales where the cut of the uniform revealed a tempting glimpse of glistening upper body. They had been together, alone out in deep space for a very long time.
"Just listen to you now," he said. "No more problems with your English. You sound just like these old movies you watched over and over again, until you got it right."
"OK boss." She spoke without taking her eyes off the controls. "I know it's not completely natural but it doesn't need to be. We're not here to negotiate."
"Remember your cultural orientation." The Commander smiled as he spoke. "It's not only about knowing how to speak. It's what you say that counts."
"Yes, perhaps we could let them know the main invasion fleet is on its way by saying we might have a few friends dropping in. It's a silly language anyway," said the Cadet.
"But it was you who volunteered for the mission and for the language." There was a hint of disapproval in his voice so the Cadet leaned over to touch him ever-so-gently on the knee. She knew that always worked.
Rising to the cultural challenge she said, "So, can you name me an Earth politician you would buy a used car from?"
"Oh any of them," said Commander 701."The few that think they know us, do what they're told. The ones who don't know, don't matter."
Then they were setting down on the surface of the deep blue ocean. She was pleased they were perfectly positioned above the under-sea base. It was getting dark. The Cadet thought that later she might ask to come up topside to enjoy the fresh breeze. Something real and natural after being in deep space for so long.
Just as they were slipping beneath the waves the Commander turned to her and said, "And there is something I need to tell you. My wife is stationed here. So we'll need to forget about what went on in deep space especially as I'm getting the old Admiral's job. I'm sorry I should have told you before, but you know what it's like out there."
"How could you," said Cadet 13,012. She spoke with a chill hiss. She had a new forceful look in her eyes. It was a look she had kept hidden as they traveled through deep space. Like she had hidden the fact that she had known all along about the wife waiting on Earth. Most of all, she had kept very quiet about her ambition to rise rapidly through the ranks and the knowledge that she had been getting herself the leverage to do just that.

This book was completely boring. I read all the way through chapter 9, but simply could not carry on. It's not that it was BAD per say – but it was just not good. At all. The writing was pretty low grade, the book read more like a huge gossip story than a novel, the characters had about that much quality to them, and the storyline itself was simply void of any thing remotely interesting to me.
Basic rundown – there are two main characters who are both grown women and they are both totally self-absorbed but each in a completely different way. One thinks the world revolves around her and the other wonders why she has to keep up with the revolving world. Self-absorbed people annoy me! Anyway, they are in two completely different phases of life but end up working with each other in a producer's office in Hollywood. And I guess that's supposed to be the interesting part – I don't know – I didn't read that far. It was a struggle to get through chapter 9.
Now, I'm not a professional book-reviewer so, who am I to judge this book as a total loss. You might read it and find it hilarious. I, however, was not amused – nor interested – and won't mind returning this one to the library!
So – this book will be the first one to receive the RED STOP SIGN – signifying that if I were you, dear reader, I wouldn't even bother picking this one up off the library shelf!
I do plan on reading her other book, Cranberry Queen, after I finish the book I'm working on now. Just because this book is "bad" (in my opinion) doesn't mean Cranberry Queen is going to be bad. She seems to be a very capable writer – but I think this particular book is lacking any real literary style.
This book is definitely ADULT TWADDLE!!

Remaining patient, staying familiar with every business, and keeping track of trends are all great methods of succeeding with your stock market investments. This article can help you to successfully invest into the stock market. It is possible to begin making money in the stock market immediately.
Take advantage of free resources to investigate investment brokers before contracting with them. Avoid investment fraud by performing a thorough background check on any investment broker you are considering.
A good rule of thumb is to invest a maximum of 10% of your total earnings. By doing this, you can really minimize your risk, should the stock experience serious decline in the future.
Try and get stocks that will net better than 10% annually, otherwise, simpler index funds will outperform you. To figure out the return that a particular stock is likely to deliver, all you need to do is add the dividend yield to the projected rate of earnings growth. A stock whose earnings are growing at 12% that also yields 2% in dividends offers you a potential return of 14%, for example.
Resist the urge to time the markets. History has shown that people who steadily invest even sums of money over time do better in the long run. Spend some time determining the amount you can afford to set aside for investments on a routine basis. Start making regular investments and dedicate yourself to repeating the process.
Stick to what you know. You should stick to investing in companies that you are familiar with, especially if you invest through an online or discount brokerage without much expert advice. While it is easy to trust your own instincts about a company with which you have new cryptocurrency ponzi scheme Davor Coin had personal dealings, how can you assess a company that does something foreign to you? A professional advisor is better suited to these decisions.
Use restraint when purchasing the stock of the company you work for. Although owning stock in a business you work for could seem prideful, it's also very risky. If anything happens to the company, you will not only lose your paycheck but your investment, as well. There may be some benefit if the stocks at your company are available at a discount.
When you first begin to invest in the stock market, be sure to keep it simple. Trying to implement every strategy you read so you can diversify your portfolio can end up in disaster. Although you may not make a ton of money with your simple plan, you don't risk the substantial losses that can come with inexperienced complicated investing.
You should invest money in stocks that are damaged, but you should avoid companies that are. The best time to buy stock in a company is when its stock price takes a temporary tumble; as long as the downturn really is temporary, the profits can be great. A businesses that simply misses some deadline due to some error, like shortage of materials, can experience sudden drops in the value of their stock due to investors who panic. Note that this is temporary, not permanent. However, a company which has become tainted by a financial scandal may not be able to recover.
If you plan on using a brokerage firm for your investments, make sure they're trustworthy. Many companies make extravagant claims that they will make you rich, but they simply do not have the skill or know-how to live up to their claims. Research brokerage firms online before settling on one.
Strategies are important when playing the stock market, and you will want to play around with some various methods until you find a working strategy to repeatedly use. Perhaps you are searching for businesses that constantly have high profit markets, or maybe your focus is on businesses that have a large amount of cash on hand. You should use a strategy you understand and that corresponds to your investment goals.
Although anyone can invest in the market, not everybody has got the right info or research to select the best stocks. Focus on educating yourself about how the stock market works, and the best companies to invest in, before putting money into it. Keep these tips in mind so you can start investing today!

The Artisan Rototherm-D is a specialized slow-speed dryer, designed for continuous vacuum drying or post-drying of free-flowing solid materials. The Rototherm-D is a jacketed, mechanically-agitated dryer, that continuously removes moisture or solvents from powders and bulk solids under vacuum. It is especially useful for diffusion-limited drying applications where long residence times are required.
Rototherm-D operating principle
The Feed, being moist powder or bulk solids, enter into the Rototherm-D at one end. The horizontal shell and the specially designed rotor are heated by water, steam, or hot oil. The low speed helical mixing bars agitate the product continuously, while gently churning and continuously conveying it to the discharge end of the dryer in a plug flow manner.
Vacuum minimizes drying temperature and avoids thermal degradation of heat sensitive materials. An adjustable weir at the discharge end keeps the product level in the dryer between 25% and 75% full. Adjusting the height of the weir or changing the feed rate will allow to control the residence time. The dry product discharge is collected either by batch in a sealed vessel or continuously after passing through a vacuum lock vessel.
Process Benefits
The Rototherm-D offers the following benefits over batch dryers:
- Low temperature and shear reduce product degradation
- Continuous process eliminates variations in product quality between batches
- High heat transfer area-to-volume ratio
- Adjustable drying time from 20 minutes to several hours
The Rototherm-D has various fields of application
- Drying heat sensitive powders and bulk solids
- Drying shear sensitive powders and bulk solids
- Diffusion controlled drying applications
- Further dewatering readily dried sludges and press-cakes
- Sublimation of powders
- Solid state polymerization/polycondensation
The Rototherm-D is a product in development by Artisan. If you have an application that you believe would benefit from Rototherm-D's operating principles, then our product development team would be happy to work with you to incorporate this technology into your projects.

Architects, of course, work with space and light, not bricks and mortar. These are the raw materials. That's especially true of the places they make or remake for themselves; often unassuming, discreet, already there, not very architectural, but always with high ceilings and tall windows. "Real luxury is to have volume, light from outside," says Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas, who since 1981 has been working alongside his wife Doriana. They live and work together and try not to have too much architecture in either place. "If you build every day, if you plan every day some contemporary building, it's fantastic to live in an old one," he says. "It's fantastic… the contradiction between what you are and what kind of life you live."
They house their 100-strong practice in a restored Renaissance palazzo in Rome, not far from Piazza Navona. Home, however, is a Paris apartment on the Place des Vosges, captured here by French director Benjamin Seroussi. "If you move from one city to another in Europe, it's one-hour-and-a-half or two hours flight. Europe is one country, it's a continuous space," says Massimiliano, who in 2013 took a cinematic approach to the design of Shenzhen Bao'an International airport. "I think Rome and Paris are the last memories of what was 'the city'. This is the last memory that we have. But we are part of all the world now."

Translation from digital into matter is treacherous, especially when limited budgets and a questionable culture of craftsmanship are available. These two Hong Kong projects by the Laboratory for Explorative Architecture and Design (LEAD) depict how their integrative design approach capitalises on the regionally available digital design and fabrication technology, allowing for the realisation of highly complex effects with the simplest of means.
The Dragon Skin Pavilion was built for the 2011-12 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of UrbanismArchitecture, in collaboration with EDGE Laboratory for Architectural and Urban Research (TUT, Finland). The Pavilion utilises a new type of plywood that incorporates layers of adhesive film to allow easy single-curved bending without the need for steam or extreme heat. With no material loss, a CNC mill divided 21 8x4 plywood sheets into eight identical squares and accurately cut the unique slots programmed into the pavilion geometry. Using one single mould, all panels were bent into the same shape, and within six hours the numbered shells were slotted into place using no plans, glue nor screws. The underlying equilibrium surface geometry removed all internal forces or deformations from the pavilion, which became a self-supporting, free-standing, light-weight skin with highly tactile tectonic properties and unique lighting effects.
The Shine Fashion Store, completed in 2011 in collaboration with NC Design & Architecture, has a ceiling built from over 900 white industrial rubber bungee cords, stretched between two undulating plasma-jet cut steel profiles and three standard U-profiles. The overlapping surfaces of interwoven lines create starkly contrasting Moiré patterns against the dark ceiling backdrop. Alluding to principles of Op Art and referring to graphical experimentation in paintings of Victor Vasarely and others, the architecture actively plays on the shopper's perception, where walking underneath the canopy generates an illusion of geometric movement: swelling, warping patterns emerge and hidden vibrating images appear.

We've been excited about the Ghostbusters video game ever since we first caught wind of it, mainly because of its highly original premise and the involvement of the movies' cast members. I was personally impressed by what I got to see of the game when I attended Sierra's press day a couple of months ago, particularly with the new physics engine developed for it by Terminal Reality, as well the fact that it continued and built upon the mythology established by the film series. Even though a couple of actors weren't reprising their roles in the game, it was encouraging to see how many of them were throwing their support behind it. Needless to say, it felt like a punch to the gut when it was recently revealed that Activision/Blizzard wouldn't be picking up the title after the merger between Activision and Vivendi.
While Sierra reps were quick to assure inquiring minds that the game was definitely not canceled, rumors have still been rife throughout the internet claiming that it will be; this doesn't seem right, given how much promotion the game has already received. Variety's Ben Fritz, tired of hearing all the half-truths, got in touch with Sony Pictures (who still holds the rights to Ghostbusters) and managed to get some answers on just what's going to happen to the game. Aside from the generic info that Sony is working with Activision/Blizzard to find a new publisher, a representative told Fritz, "[the situation] has presented [Sony Pictures Consumer Products] with an opportunity to reevaluate the game release marketing strategy to potentially coincide with the 25th anniversary of the original film in '09."
Exactly when the film's 25th anniversary will be celebrated has yet to be revealed; the movie was originally released to theaters in June of 1984, so if the game comes out around the same time, Terminal Reality is actually getting a fair amount of time to polish the game and work out any bugs that might still exist.

AT&T lifted the wraps on Samsung's Galaxy S5 Active, a new version of the vendor's flagship device "designed to withstand the bumps and bruises of everyday life". Just like its predecessor, the S4 Active, the S5 Active also has dust proof casing, water resistance and shock resistance with its IP67 and MIL-spec 810G certification.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is pretty much the same as the original S5 with a exterior exception. It is still the same 5.1-inch device with a 1080p Super AMOLED, powered by a speedy Snapdragon 801 chipset and Adreno 330 graphics. It is expected to have atleast 16GB of onboard storage, with a microSD expansion up to 128GB. However, the added durability has made the device slightly thicker.
But there's also one noticeable feature that the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active has done without in favor of its ruggedized form; there's no fingerprint sensor here. The front capacitive buttons have also been replaced by physical ones, while a side button has been added as a shortcut for launching outdoor-related apps.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is only available for now through AT&T in North America for $200 with a two-year contract or a staggering $715 w/o contract. No word on international availability. If you buy the phone you also get a 50% discount on the Gear Fit. The phone is available in Camo Green, Titanium Grey and Ruby Red.

(Replaces dollar and euro currency symbols with USD and EUR)
* Sovereign bonds under pressure
* Comparisons with Cyprus unwarranted
* Country could still have access to capital markets
* Government to establish internal 'bad banks'
By Davide Scigliuzzo
LONDON, March 28 (IFR) - Slovenia has been thrown into the spotlight as the next eurozone country likely to seek an international bailout, given the fragile state of its banking sector.
Following the bailout/bail-in farce in Cyprus, Slovenia's dollar bonds have dropped by nine points over the past two weeks as investors worry about the Balkan country's troubled banking sector and the government's ability to tap the international capital markets.
While the government insists that Slovenia will be able to get through the crisis under its own steam, a deal with international lenders could provide a key backstop to fears of contagion, say analysts.
"Slovenia is now inevitably heading to a bailout, the eurozone shot itself completely in the foot following the Cyprus issue," said Tim Ash, head of EM research ex-Africa at Standard Bank.
But while there is no denial among market participants that Slovenia's banking crisis is acute, most observers agree that a comparison with Cyprus is unwarranted.
Slovenia's banking sector assets account for 130% of the country's GDP, compared with 800% in Cyprus, and the Balkan state's debt-to-GDP ratio stood at 54% as of the end of 2012, which is relatively low compared with a EU average of 80%.
Nonetheless, with or without the IMF, analysts believe Slovenia needs to quickly push forward a policy mix comprising fiscal tightening, privatisations and a recapitalisation of its largely state-owned banking sector if it is to stay afloat.
Pressure on the country is undoubtedly mounting, as reflected by the dismal performance of its sovereign bonds. The yield on the country's 2022 US dollar notes has widened by 120bp over the past two weeks, jumping by a jaw-dropping 80bp on Wednesday alone, to reach 6.2%.
Key from this perspective is whether the sovereign will be able to maintain access to the international capital markets over the next two to three months, as EUR1bn of T-bills come due in June.
According to the IMF, Slovenia's financing needs for 2013 amount to more than EUR3bn, a large portion of which will have to be funded externally given local banks' inability to absorb large amounts of government debt.
The sovereign's issue of USD2.25bn of 10-year bonds towards the end of last year helped pre-finance about EUR1.6bn of this year's requirement, according to Gillian Edgeworth, chief EEMEA economist at UniCredit. The doors of the international capital market, however, are not shut yet, say bankers who cover the region.
"There is a pocket of interest [among investors], so an international bond issue could work, but they would have to pay up massively," said an origination official. "They would need some tailwind as well."
The government might also need to target US dollars, rather than euros. "In euros no way," said a second banker. "US dollar investors are used to volatility. They definitely still have access to US dollars."
The bond market came to Slovenia's rescue in October when the issuance of the 2022 notes, its debut US dollar offering, averted the need for an international bailout. At the time, however, credit conditions looked more favourable for the Balkan state, following the pledge by ECB president Mario Draghi to do "whatever it takes" to save the eurozone.
While that pledge remains, Eurozone policymakers' handling of the situation in Cyprus, together with comments from a senior official that the bailout there could become a template for others, although later retracted, have unnerved investors.
"Market momentum is moving against Slovenia, and quick," said Ash. "It will be tough and expensive for them to put a new issue to bed without significant backstopping from the Troika."
In a sign that appetite for Slovene credit had not disappeared yet, state-owned export and development bank SID Banka last week successfully raised EUR200m through a private placement of three-year senior bonds.
The notes, which are guaranteed by the state, were priced at an interest rate of 3.2% over three-month Euribor.
Part of the uncertainty still surrounding the country is due to adjustments that the new governing coalition - led by Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek - has pledged to make to the original 'bad bank' proposal put forward by the previous Janez Jansa administration.
One of the key tweaks now under consideration, according to RBS, is the creation of internal bad banks within each of the country's largest financial lenders, postponing any transfer of toxic assets to an external bank asset management company to a later date.
"Initially, bad assets would be transferred to the internal bad banks and backed simply by government guarantees," said Abbas Ameli-Renani, an emerging market strategist at RBS.
Under the original proposal, assets would have been transferred immediately to the BAMC in exchange for newly-issued government bonds.
While there will be a simultaneous recapitalisation of banks under both arrangements, the new version would not result in an immediate spike in the government's debt level, because the authorities would initially provide banks with guarantees rather than newly issued securities.
One of the downsides, however, is that the plan will keep bad assets on banks' balance sheets and under the same management.
