Stay safe at home - Gas Safety Week 2018
Staying safe in the home is the theme for Gas Safety Week, and an opportunity to share vital messages with customers, according to Mike Dunn, Severn Vale's team leader for gas servicing and repairs.
"Our team of qualified engineers is out seeing customers every day carrying out essential repairs and services to boilers. Badly-fitted and poorly-serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. As landlord for some 4,000 properties in Gloucestershire, it's vital that our Gas Safe registered engineers keep a close check on boilers throughout the year."
Follow these few simple checks to keep you and your family safe.
- Allow Severn Vale Housing access to your home to look at your gas appliances every year. Gas appliances should be safety-checked once a year and serviced regularly by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You will be contacted by us to arrange a suitable appointment for you. Failure to allow our gas engineers access to your home means you are in breach of your tenancy agreement.
- We will service any gas appliances we provide. You need to make sure you get your personal gas appliances serviced by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.
- Check your engineer is Gas Safe registered. You can find and check an engineer at www.gassaferegister.co.ukor call 0800 408 5500. All Severn Vale gas engineers are registered.
- Check your engineer's ID, including their Gas Safe Register ID card. Always ask to see an ID card before you let anyone into your home and make sure they are qualified for the work you need doing. You can find this information on the back of their ID card.
- Check for warning signs your appliances aren't working correctly e.g. lazy yellow or orange flames instead of crisp blue ones, black marks on or around the appliance and too much condensation in the room.
- Know the six signs of carbon monoxide poisoning – headaches, dizziness, breathlessness, nausea, collapse and loss of consciousness.
- Have an audible carbon monoxide alarm. This will alert you if there is carbon monoxide in your home.
In an emergency If you are concerned about any gas appliance in your home call the Severn Vale Housing number on 01684 272727 immediately or in an out of hours emergency call 01684 272727 and press option 2.

All the Twiggle babies are superb tree climbers and little Sticklenose is no exception. The trouble is that he is much better at going up trees than coming back down, so sometimes he has to be rescued. Sticklenose thinks that it's great fun but Willow is not so happy about it.
Wherever Sticklenose goes, he always wears his bobbled hat. It was given to him by the gang of BeWILDerbats, because Willow likes him to be nice and snug on a chilly day.

Why 12-18-21? Why not any other day? There are lots of reasons that I like this date. I like that all the numbers are multiples of 3. I like the way the numbers roll off the tongue as they build higher and higher. I like that the month and the year are symmetrical. But ultimately, I picked it because it didn't have any other connection to any specific animal species or event related to animal rights. It simply represents the day that we will march on D.C. as a united vegan movement to either celebrate the end of animal abuse and slavery or the day we declare the escalation of our revolution so that it is clear to all the death knell of animal abuse has rung loud and clear. Either way, it will be a historic moment that will change the world forever and mark the end of animals used for food, entertainment, hunting and clothing.
Why set a date at all? Why not just keep working towards the goal of ending animal abuse and slavery? Because we need a target. A deadline tells us how long we have to achieve our goal so that it doesn't drag on and on endlessly. Even waiting that long seems too long when considering that over 300 billion animals will have been slaughtered in that time alone. We cannot let this continue indefinitely as we feel around in the dark for some magical solution. We must build up to a deafening crescendo of voices demanding that it end now.
What can you do to make this happen? This is all about cooperation and collaboration. That doesn't mean we have to agree on an approach. I want DxE, PeTA, F.A.R.M., Vegan Outreach, etc. all to continue doing what they think is the best approach to reaching this goal. The only thing we have to agree on is 12-18-21 as Animal Liberation Day. And everyone out there not affiliated with a certain organization, it is you that so much depends. It is on you to decide how best you can make this happen. And then share your ideas. Work together with other vegans to make your ideas happen. Learn from each other. Adapt to new circumstances. And in the end, with all of us focusing on making 12-18-21 the day of days in the Vegan Revolution, we cannot help but succeed if we only believe that we can and that we will. And I believe both. I know that the vegans I interact with on a regular basis are the most caring and devoted people I have ever met. I will be working on a plan for how I think we can make this happen in the coming weeks, but I will be open to suggestions, feedback and plan to learn from everyone joining in on this crusade. Together we cannot fail. Our cause is too just and our passion too strong!

Chronic Snarkopolist: Thanks for the Add!!! Kisses
Hello my loves!
You may know I'm a knitter and have been one for five years or so. I've been told I'm not allowed to call myself a mediocre knitter anymore by other (more skilled) knitters. But that's what I am. Meanwhile – as I was knitting I've been pondering knitting and life and health.
One woman insisted that she has been able to TOTALLY CUT out the bad parts of her life and start over – metaphorically and symbolically knitting her life fresh. I asked her if that means the past 50 years were simply garbage or wasted or if she knitted the lessons and meaning and healing into the fabric of her life.
She stopped and thought about it. I was not making a point. I simply mulled this as I was UNKNITTING several rows after seeing I had knit a mistake into my real socks. How often do we get the chance to just pull out what we don't like, what doesn't work well, or what we stop liking? How often do we have that much control over anything in our life?
Yes I get frustrated learning new skills – but THEY COME. And I practice them. And I unknit them again and again as I am learning. In knitting some people have a certain tolerance for mistakes. I have a very HIGH tolerance for mistakes. I was taught early to refer to them as "features." And if I got too many consistent "features" to call them a "design element." I embrace this advice heartily and fully.
More highly skilled people show me where I make mistakes and I learn from my mistakes. Again – how often do we have such a calm and easy place where no one gets hurt to learn from errors? It is the perfect metaphor for me. I think perhaps I am enjoying knitting if only because it IS some control and it is fun. And I can take two sticks and some string and magically FABRIC appears!
We drink wine and we talk and we knit. And I find some companionship here. Some are older and some are a bit younger. But we all knit. And we all make fabric. Some call themselves artists and others call themselves "technicians." Some are yarn snobs and some are just starting out.
Historically I have been known as a "gonzo knitter." That is – someone who has disdained patterns and just knit things. However, recently I have yearned to knit more luxurious and lovely things. And NOW I am realizing I have to be more consistent and have fewer features and design elements. I have to understand more about the actually SKILLS of knitting. I use this time to promise myself that I am CAPABLE of learning new things. I see myself as capable of healing. I imagine my brain re-wiring as I functionally learn new skills and as I keep my motor skills up.
So yes – we are creating the fabric of our lives, ever day, every word. Looking back I'm laughing at the horizontal gonzo metaphorical crazy quilts I've made (and in real life too). But I've done it. And maybe now I'm working on being a little more careful in my life, a little more centered, a little more thoughtful about a few things. Maybe now I'm knitting more streamlined patterns in more delicate fibers. And I'm happy to see it too.
Meanwhile – I've been given the instructions time and time again, "Make sure, before you knit handknit socks for someone, that they are sock worthy." I suppose I've always needed this lesson in my life. How often have I run away from the people worth my handknits and spent too much time making cashmere longjohns for the duds. Lessons. I'm learning.
I know this column doesn't seem like it has much to do with health today- but I have a PET scan first thing tomorrow from head to thigh. And quite frankly talking about health during this scary time wasn't working for me. I have driven myself to so many CT and MRI's (and even fallen asleep in them). But this one scares me. I even asked my mom to go along to keep me company. Thanks for holding my hand and listening to me talk about my knitting. YOU are all worth my hand knitted socks and sweaters.
I'd love to hear how you've knitted and woven your lives. I'd love to hear how it's unraveled at times and how you've cut ties sometimes and moved on. Looking back on your life does it feel too orderly? Is it a big giant crazy quilt? Do you have love and affection for it? Are you tidying it up now or learning to let go? I'd like to hear. Tell me! I must know!
I'll be back same time next week! Kiss kiss!

1. Vitamins do not cure the diseases
Vitamin supplements are often believed to be a miracle cure for different illnesses including common cold, cancer, depression and heart disease. Vitamins are essential for normal development and proper metabolism. However, vitamins cannot be used instead of drugs but they are necessary during an illness when the body is deprived of nutrients. And in some cases, the additional supplements of vitamins can be harmful for health and worsen your condition.

FeRFA selection guide
Resin flooring provides a long-lasting, high performance system for the most exacting situations, but choosing the correct system to meet your specific flooring requirements is an important part of the selection
process. To assist in this, FeRFA has produced a classification system for the different floor types which forms the basis of the British Standard BS 8204-6. For further information on the different flooring types, simply click on the different categories as follows:
1 Floor seal Applied in two or more coats.
Generally solvent or water borne. LD up to 150 µm
2 Floor coating Applied in two or more coats.
Generally solvent free. LD/MD 150 µm to 300 µm
3 High build Floor coating Applied in two or more coats.
Generally solvent free. MD 300 µm to 1000 µm
4 Multi-layer flooring Aggregate dressed systems based on multiple layers of floor coatings or flow-applied floorings, often described as 'sandwich' systems. MD/HD > 2 mm
5 Flow applied flooring Often referred to as 'self-smoothing' or 'self-levelling' flooring and having a smooth surface. MD/HD 2 mm to 3 mm
6 Resin screed flooring Trowel-finished, heavily filled systems, generally incorporating a surface seal coat to minimize porosity. MD/HD > 4 mm
7 Heavy duty flowable flooring Having a smooth surface. HD/VHD 4 mm to 6 mm
8 Heavy duty Resin flooring Trowel-finished, aggregate filled systems effectively impervious throughout their thickness. VHD > 6 mm
Note: Click type number above for more information
Duty* Description
LD (Light duty) light foot traffic, occasional rubber tyred vehicles
MD (Medium duty) regular foot traffic, frequent fork lift truck traffic, occasional hard plastic-wheeled trolleys
HD (Heavy duty) constant fork lift truck traffic, hard plastic wheeled trolleys, some impact
VHD (Very heavy duty) severe heavily loaded traffic and impact
In general terms these categories of flooring are listed in ascending order of durability. However the actual life in a particular installation will depend on the product formulation used, the quality of the substrate and the degree of severity of the service conditions. Please refer to FeRFA Guide to the Selection of Synthetic Resin Floors (ISBN 0 9538020 3 5) for further information on the features and characteristics of the floor types.
Some of these categories of flooring may be produced with special decorative effects by the incorporation of coloured particles or flakes in the surface. Terrazzo-like finishes (ground exposed aggregate) may be produced from certain trowel-applied floorings of Types 6 and 8. Slip resistant or anti-static/conductive versions of all these categories may also be available.

Gouda-and-Beer Fondue Bread Bowl
- 1 1/2 -pound round loaf crusty bread
- 8 ounces Gouda cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces Swiss Emmentaler cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cornflour
- One 12-ounce bottle lager
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt
- 1 clove garlic, split
- 2 apples, cut into wedges
- 2 ripe pears, cut into wedges
Preheat the oven to 175°C.
To make the bread bowl, slice off the top 1/4 of the bread with a serrated knife and set aside. Hollow out the loaf by cutting a circle around the inside of the bread leaving a 1-inch border. Pull the soft bread out with your hands, making sure to leave about a 1-inch border at the bottom of the bowl as well. Cube the bread you removed and set it aside for dipping.
Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet and place in the oven until it is heated through and golden on the inside, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the fondue, combine the Gouda and Emmentaler cheeses with the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Toss with your fingers until the cheese strands are coated.
Combine the beer and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a medium non-reactive saucepan over medium heat until it is steaming but not simmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cheese in large handfuls, stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking and stirring until all the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Once smooth, stir in the mustard and the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season with salt.
Remove the bread bowl from the oven and let it cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Rub the inside all over with the cut sides of the garlic clove. Pour the hot fondue into the warm bread bowl. Serve with the apples, pears and the reserved bread cubes .

Commercial Real Estate News Brief: June 2016
In the latest edition of our monthly news brief, JLL's regional team curates the top industry articles to keep you in-the-know on the latest in commercial real estate development. In this month's edition, JLL spotlights the optimism from CRE executives about the industry's future, strategic construction investments in the U.S., and JLL's acquisition of Harry K. Moore in Louisville.
Keep up with Spaces' monthly CRE recaps, and subscribe to JLL Spaces today.
Executives Feel Optimistic About the Future of CRE
The future of commercial real estate is bright. In a recent Forbes Insights Report, sponsored by CIT, more than 200 executives weighed in on the state of the domestic CRE market. Many acknowledged that some areas need improvement; however, with every challenge comes an opportunity. The majority of executives surveyed characterized their industry as optimistic, with many opportunities to grow.
Key findings from the survey include:
- 52% of those surveyed said they felt their segment of the market was either "strong or very strong."
- More than 60% described their market as opportunistic, with a mix of challenges and opportunities for growth—especially with the development of new CRE technology.
- Respondents believe interest rates, consumer confidence, tax rates, unemployment and the global economy are the top five factors driving CRE investments.
Although the advancement of new CRE technology is revolutionizing the industry, many executives are struggling to adapt within their firms. In the study, only 11% of executives rated themselves as having a leading advantage in terms of implementation. Read the full article for more details.
Developers Pave the Way for More Strategic Construction
From coast to coast, big projects kicked off construction during the first quarter of 2016. But as building costs continue to rise, the need for strategic development and construction investments also comes into focus. This, paired with the conclusion of this year's election approaching, will shed more light on how the economy will be affected overall.
Regardless, JLL predicts that construction will outpace the overall economy this year. Developers, though, should proceed with caution. Material prices will increase slightly and flatten over the next few years, while labor costs continue their upward trend.
Key construction markets include:
- Nashville: The city is experiencing significant construction growth driven by its low-cost, well-educated workforce.
- San Francisco: Though all coastal markets are experiencing growth, San Francisco could surpass New York City as the most expensive market with its high construction demands combined with high labor costs.
- Houston: For tenants looking to avoid a high-cost market, Houston may be an appealing option for its recent growth in subletting and low-cost labor.
For more information on the construction and development outlook, download the full JLL report.
JLL Expands with Acquisition of Louisville Office
In other news, JLL acquired Harry K. Moore, a commercial real estate firm based out of Louisville, KY. The acquisition will strengthen JLL's industrial and office brokerage platforms in the region, and will also support an increased focus on e-commerce in fast-growing markets like Louisville, Cincinnati and Columbus.
With a strong track record and more 10 years in the industry, Harry K. Moore has carried out more than 2,000 transactions. Harry K. Moore's Powell Spears is taking on the role as managing director in JLL's new Louisville office, alongside 12 additional industry professionals.
The region's Market Leader and Managing Director, JC Pelusi, said, "Adding Harry K. Moore's local expertise to JLL will provide better, expanded and more comprehensive services to our clients in the fast-growing Louisville area."

Le Bourget Airport
Le Bourget Airport – fr: Aéroport de Paris - Le Bourget (LBG; LFPB) – is located approximately 7½ miles (12 km) north-northeast of Paris, in the departments of Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-d'Oise. Only a small part of the airport's compound lies in the commune of Le Bourget. Its area overlaps portions of three neighboring communities: Bonneuil-en-France, Dugny, and Gonesse. Roughly a third lies in Dugny, including its main terminal and the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace (the French Air and Space Museum). Le Bourget commenced its business operations in 1919 and was for a long time the only airport serving Paris – until the construction of Orly Airport in 1932. Today, it is only used for general aviation.

Hello World!
I was 17 years old when I first spent a night in a hostel with a friend of mine. We did an internship in Ireland and wanted to spend our days off exploring Dublin. Those led us to choose a hostel, as it's the cheepest and most fun way to go 🙂 Of course, before our first hostel experience, we didn´t know what to expect and where full of the common prejudices:
1.) Hostels are dirty
I know, your friend told you that his cousin´s girlfriend told him that she once slept in a hostel which was not clean at all, but I´ve been to about 10 different hostels already, and was (I confess) surprised to find each spotlessly clean. Of course, there´s black sheep in any kind of business and there definitely ARE dirty hostels, but very few of them. To prevent going for one which is not well kept, just go on Trip Advisor or Hostelword and check out the reccommendations for the specific hostel you are looking for.
2.) My stuff will be stolen
…if it´s being handelt with carelessly. I personally don´t really think of people sleeping in hostels as thieves, but you can go for the safe side and always use the provided lockers (which all hostels have!) either by bringing your own lock or (in most hostels) borrowing one at reception and giving them a deposit. That way, nothing can be stolen, no matter who your roommates are 😉
3.) Hostels aren´t safe for girls
I thought about this prejudice for quite a while before sleeping alone in a hostel the first time. I read a lot of reviews, and nearly everyone tells you not to worry, because it´s safe. I personally have never been harrassed or even flirted to in a hostel (the latter only in the hostel bar 🙂 ), and neither has one of my friend or the people I met at hostels told me they were. But if your roommates seem suspective, you can always ask to change rooms, if you explain your concerns at reception. Also, you can just book a "girls only" dorm or even go to a "girls only" hostel, if you want to be on the safe side 🙂
4.) My roommates will annoy me
I know, if you´re just thinking about the possibility of your roommate snoring all night beside you is making you cringe. But there are always ways to avoid stuff like that: just have your earplugs and sleeping maskt with you any hostel you go to. If you are a light sleeper, talk with your roommates and find out when they get up so maybe you avoid being woken by them by getting up at the same time. Another easy way to avoid being woken is to go out yourself of course, but pay attention not to wake your roommates yoursefl when you get back 😉
5.) Hostels don't offer breakfast
I was surprised to find out how many hostels offer a (mostly small and simple) free breakfast or a discount at the nearest café! Just check online in advance so you know how to plan your day.
6.) Staff at hostels is unfriendly
As far as my experiences go, friendliness is always object to the situation and how friendly YOU are treating the staff. Of course, I´ve been greated grumpily at hostels already, but hey, that´s whta happens anywhere if the receptionist is having a bad day. Mostly though, the staff was amazingly friendly and helpful, always answering my endless questions about directions, recommendations and sightseeing-advice. Often they even let you print out your boarding passes if you ask nicely. So as Steve Maraboli once said it:
"Don't wait for other people to be loving, giving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, generous, or friendly… lead the way!"
7.) Hostels have few and poor bathing facilities
So…yeah. Some of them really have poor bathing facilities. I guess that´s the point where I can´t cheer you up. But here´s my advice how to avoid waiting ´till one o´clock in the morning util you are able to shower: I always and only book hostels with bathrooms "ensuite" no matter how large the available dorms are. Because sharing your shower with the 5 other girls in your six-bed-dorm is way better that doing so with the other 30 people sleeping on the same floor as you. Many hostels offer ensuite room for slightly higher prices, but it´s always worth going for it!
8.) The rooms are incredibly small
First of all: small is relative. If you are expecting 40 squaremetres for your four-bed dorm, you MIGHT be dissappointed…;) So, back to serious: Simply check online and on the websites I suggested, or call the reception and ask for the size of the room you´d like to choose. Also, at reception they often give you tips about which room´s the largest or best equipped. Just ask nicely 😉
9.) Walls are very thin
There are loads of hostels in quite old buldings, so many of them actually HAVE thin walls, but recently, more and more hostels have opend in newly built buldings, so just check online or call, don´t worry about asking, always keep in mind that reception staff has probably dealt with hundreds of more stupid questions 😉
10.) There are only hostels in unsafe areas
No. NO. NO! At last but not least a prejudice I can fully contradict, as you can often find hostels in much more central areas than hotels anywhere in a normal person´s price range. So if you want to be central, this is the best way to go!
I hope I could kill some of your prejudices or at least make you think about them twice. At the end of the day, you´ll just have to think about what you want from your accomodation: If you simply want to enjoy peace and quiet and have time alone for yourself at night, a hostel will never be the place to go to for you, no matter, how nice your roommates will be. But if you´re comfortable with sharing rooms and meeting new people after a long day of sightseeing, try it!
What experiences have you made with hostels so far? Tell me in the comments below 😉

Continuing on with yesterday's theme of too much…
I can only do what I am doing when I am doing it.
I am struggling with this truth today.
Looking around, I see an overwhelming amount of housework and laundry and yardwork. Even with (or should this read especially with?) children helping, it's still too much.
That's the point.
It's always too much.
And within the too much, I have got to pick something and do it. Stay present in it. Focus on it. Not allow my mind to rush ahead to what isn't and won't get completed today.
So I will return to helping a 6 year old with her dining room chore even as I overhear her 8 year old sister say, "Ok. So I will make you a LIST."

The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) said yesterday that it will review its regulations for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification and examine all GMP-labeled products within three months after edible oils with the certificate were found to contain illegal additives.
"We will review the rules for GMP certification within a month and a half, and we will examine all 3,682 GMP products within three months," Vice Minister of Economic Affairs Francis Liang (梁國新) said at a meeting at the legislature's Economic Committee in Taipei.
Liang said the 3,682 products include 129 oil products as well as 376 juice and soy sauce-related goods.
Legislators yesterday panned the ministry for lax supervision of the government-funded private organization that issues GMP certificates. They also urged the ministry to remove Wei Ying-chun (魏應充), chairman of Wei Chuan Food Corp (味全) and one of the founders of Ting Hsin International Group (頂新集團), from his position as chairman of the organization because Ting Hsin was found to have used adulterated oil in products it made for Wei Chuan, a local brand-name food company.
Liang said the chairman of the organization was appointed by its members, who are company representatives, but the ministry would make the necessary changes after further investigation.
Council for Economic Planning and Development Minister Kuan Chung-ming (管中閔), who also participated in the committee yesterday, said it is crucial for the ministry to address consumer doubts.
"We have to control the quality of food products immediately, otherwise we will not be able to restore people's confidence, which will affect private consumption," he said.
Even so, Kuan said he is confident that the nation will post 2 percent economic growth this year if the government can begin implementation of its "free economic pilot zones" plan.
However, legislators are concerned that the pilot zones could hurt the local agricultural sector, as the plan allows companies to purchase agricultural materials from China and overseas to be processed in the zones.
"There might be fewer companies willing to buy agricultural materials from Taiwanese farmers," Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Gao Jyh-peng (高志鵬) said.
Although 830 agricultural products from China are prohibited from entering Taiwan, companies can still use Chinese produce as raw materials in the zones and sell the processed end products to the local market providing these products are not on the list of 830 items, DPP Legislator Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) said.

It may be just me, but the wind seems to be changing and radical ideas are afloat.
We're now two weeks removed from the IAB Annual Leadership Meeting in Florida where President/CEO Randall Rothenberg blistered the crowd with a Jeremiad that was both bracing and very, very clear. I'll paraphrase:
This thing of ours has gotten pretty fucked up. And if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.
This thing of ours, of course, is digital advertising and marketing. And he's right. The very fact that the head of your industry organization is giving a speech called "Repair the Trust" tells you a lot. Sure, we've had areas of disagreement and mushy standards for much of the last two decades. But when the subjects were arcane things like terms & conditions, viewability and margin transparency, most of us just kept our eyes down and pushed our food around the plate. Avoidance and obfuscation was a perfectly reasonable strategy.
This week's Drift is proudly underwritten by Bazaarvoice. Reach and influence 3 out of 4 true in-market shoppers with Bazaarvoice Advertising. Bazaarvoice's fresh first-party data comes from shoppers interacting with consumer generated content across our network of 5,000 leading brands and retailers, allowing us to reach your shoppers with advertising to influence their purchase decisions.
But no longer. Because now the issue is fake news. Remember that kid sitting in his kitchen in Macedonia pumping out fake news stories about Obama's love child or the Papal endorsement of the Trump campaign? Turns out we were collectively paying him. Ouch.
The rotten system that blindly rewards page views and ad calls and shares has become the intravenous feeding tube for parasitic monsters who may realistically render the concept of truth itself irrelevant. Fake traffic and fraudulent video numbers were bad. Fake truth and moral relativism are much, much worse.
Randall made it very clear when he said "It's time to get out of the fake anything business." Yes. We are only as good and as moral as who our system pays and what it pays for. Without ethical clarity, the next $50 billion in digital advertising revenue will be just so much drug money. And each one of us has a part to play in making sure it's not.
You see, our business is really just an average of the behaviors of our best and worst players. It's time to bring back the concept of shame. If you employ the highest standards as a publisher, talk about them. If you demand the highest standards as an advertiser, pay for them. And whoever you are, get off the line and pick a side.
The world is watching.

I'm from Puerto Rico and most of the recommended tomatoes sauces are not sold here. Most of the things I have got so far for the pizza journey are bought online. Almost all online stores I have checked for the popular brands mentioned here for tomatoes sauces don't ship to Puerto Rico. I also checked Amazon but the 6 in 1, or Dinapoli I have found also don't ship to Puerto Rico.
Any recommendations for other brands.

Derek Sherinian: Keyboard Hero for a New Generation
Interview by Robbie Gennet
Story by Lori Kennedy
In the '70s and part of the '80s, demigods like Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, and Jon Lord topped the charts and battled each other (or, perhaps, we fans imagined that they battled) for rock supremacy. Today, the archetype of the keyboard hero is elusive amidst guitar-heavy alternative rock, not to mention the varieties of electronic music that are more about groove and sonics than about raw virtuosity.
The most intentional and outspoken exception to this state of affairs has to be Derek Sherinian, the man Alice Cooper once dubbed "the Caligula of keyboards." From straight rock gigs with Cooper and Billy Idol (with whom Derek still tours) to the calisthenics of Dream Theater from 1994 to 1999, Yngwie Malmsteen, and his own prog outfit Planet X, one thing is clear: Where you find heavy, you'll probably find Derek, who's thick sounds and guitaristic approach to soloing stand as tall as the baddest of six-string slingers.
Need proof? Sherinian's newest solo album Oceana matches his chops with those of legendary guitarists such as Steve Lukather, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Stevens, Tony MacAlpine, and Doug Aldrich. In addition, supergroup Black Country Communion—Sherinian, Bonamassa, Deep Purple bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, and drummer Jason Bonham—has been the surprise critical and commercial success of the year. With each new chapter in his career, Sherinian has risen ever higher into the rare pantheon of keyboard legends. We got the scoop on his approach, influences, gear, and the state of keyboards in rock 'n' roll.
I was just listening to Oceana, and there are so many influences: fusion, rock, progressive time signatures, and even a little funk. Did it come out how you envisioned it or did it morph into something as you worked with different people?
The end product is pretty much what we decided on. At the outset, I knew I wanted to play again with [drummer] Simon Phillips as I did on my Inertia album. I've covered a lot of different musical ground between my last release and this one. I did some honest evaluating, listening to everything, and there's just a certain quality factor when Simon is involved—not only in the writing but in the producing and mixing as well. Put Steve Lukather in the mix, and it's just a whole other level—one that I aspire to be at one day. I've always wanted people around me that would make me a better player—why scratch with the turkeys when you can soar with the eagles? And I've always had a very strong rock and fusion influence. When I was younger, before I went to Berklee College of Music, I was very into Jeff Beck, Al DiMeola, and Allan Holdsworth.
So, guitar players were influencing you as a keyboardist?
Yes, moreso from the rock side of things. Eddie Van Halen was huge because he was the very first musician through which I saw that you could really express your personality through an instrument and have an individual sound. When you hear it, you go, "Wow, that's him." It really stands out from some guys who just play fast or have distortion on their guitars. I've always made that my main priority as a keyboard player—when I took a solo, I wanted to be identified as having a signature sound, no matter the style of music.
Can you describe that sound?
As you pointed out, it's influenced by various guitar players—Van Halen, Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, and a bit of Yngwie Malmsteen, from playing in his band. That's the thing—I've worked intimately with some great guitarists, on tour and recording and producing, and I feel like after working with them, a part of them becomes a part of me. I'm just a sponge, taking it all in and trying to incorporate it into my ever-evolving voice.
More specifically, Jeff Beck influences me because he's pretty much a rock player who loved the harmonies of jazz, so he surrounded himself with these jazz guys on his fusion records and came up with this beautiful sound. As opposed to a jazz-trained guy, who might get a distortion box and a Charvel guitar and all of a sudden he's a rock player. That doesn't translate in the right way. I'm coming from rock and going into the other worlds, so it always has a level of balls—it has to have balls—and that goes not only for the arrangement and composition but the keyboard sounds.
So the big difference between rock and jazz is "balls"?
Yeah, man. If you didn't have Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin or Van Halen posters on your wall as a kid, you're not gonna have that in your blood when you solo or in the riffs that you write.
On the other hand, you have a lot of sensitivity in your arsenal.
It depends on whom I'm playing with. It's like, I wanna be able to go in with Lukather, who plays more of the ballad Jeff Beck-type stuff, and still be able to play the cool "'Cause We've Ended as Lovers" Rhodes parts, but then be able to go into Yngwie's world and play choir sounds and double his riffs. I wanna be that chameleon guy while maintaining my own sound. I think a lot of the reason why all of these great people are making themselves available to play on my records is that I'm letting them shine, but over a different backdrop than they might on their own records.
Which keyboardists are among your main influences?
Jan Hammer was the first keyboardist that I heard where when he soloed, I thought "Okay, that's different." It was more aggressive than, like, those video-game Minimoog solos that didn't have cool pitch-bends. It was more guitar-like. He overdrove his Minimoog, and the way he bent it was very original. He was a role model to me as a kid. To a lesser extent, I was influenced by Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, and Jon Lord. I loved their heaviness, and with the Hammond B-3 organ I use in the band Black Country Communion, I'm constantly telling producer Kevin Shirley, "Listen to how loud Jon Lord's keyboards were in Deep Purple. Don't be shy, crank it up!"
About Black Country Communion, had you played with Joe Bonamassa or the other musicians before?
Glenn Hughes has been an acquaintance for the past 15 years or so. I'd never played with Jason Bonham, and I hadn't really heard much about Joe Bonamassa until I started playing with him. Then I became aware of the tremendous impact he's making on the blues guitar world.
Black Country Communion is a formidable but perhaps unlikely combination of talents. How did you four get together?
The way it happened was, Joe Bonamassa was playing House of Blues in Los Angeles and Glenn Hughes sat in on a few songs. Kevin Shirley was in the audience and he had the epiphany that somebody should put together a group around those two guys. The next two people he called were Jason and myself. The whole idea was to go into the studio to learn a few songs and record them. It turned into a week-long session and we got a whole album in the can. I didn't even meet Jason or have a conversation with him until four days into the session—we were moving that fast. We were all so focused, and Kevin Shirley is great at what he does, harnessing everything.
We put out the self-titled album and it resonated great in Europe. No one was expecting that. Then we decided to play a couple of shows in the U.K. during the holidays in 2010, and we sold out venues with 3,000 to 4,000 seats. It was like, "Wow, this could be something." So then, the plan was to go back into the studio and record Black Country Communion 2 in January [2011] and release it in June, then do a full summer of European touring. I just got back from the tour last week, and it went great. People are digging it, and sometimes in this crazy business you stumble into something that just works and you don't question it—it's organic.
How has Black Country Communion impacted you musically?
It really gave me a chance to get to know the B-3. I've been a purist in using real instruments on my records, but on all my tours, I've never taken a B-3 out; I've always taken clonewheels instead. I'd brought the real Leslie, but this is the first time where I've gone on tour with the B-3. I purchased a gorgeous 1962 fruitwood B-3 and had it modified by Ken Rich. The Leslie is cherry and I love it; I'll never play live again without it. I'm doing some shows with Billy Idol this October, and I'm bringing the B-3. Once you have the real thing, why mess around? I feel almost embarrassed that I didn't insist on one years ago. As long as I don't have to lift it, I'm bringing it!
What other keyboards are staples in your rig?
If I wasn't bringing the B-3, my favorite clone is the Nord Electro 3. There are a bunch of new ones that I haven't played yet, but thus far the Electro 3 through a Leslie 122 is what I've used. There's a lot of Rhodes on my record, and the Rhodes samples in the Electro 3 are pretty awesome—you can tweak and overdrive 'em. Also, the Mellotrons are fantastic. On the last Billy Idol tour, I didn't run just the B-3 sounds from the Electro through the Leslie; I also ran the Wurly sounds and the Mellotrons through it and rolled off the overdrive a little bit. [Billy Idol guitarist] Steve Stevens turned around and said, "Man, that sounds amazing!"
Have you done a lot with modular synths? It seems they'd work with your signature sound.
Not much, but I just got a Minimoog Voyager XL, which is pretty massive. I'm using probably five percent of its capacity. I really need to just sit with the manual and dig in. There's gonna be a learning curve, but it sounds so massive. I used it all over Oceana for bass sounds and for doubling the guitar melodies to get that thick analog sound. I run it through a guitar amp or a Tech 21 SansAmp to give it a little teeth. [See our full review of the Voyager XL here. —Ed.]
While we're talking gear, I have to give a shout-out. Arlan Schierbaum is someone that I met this year that has been very helpful. He helped find my B-3. He loaned me his '74 Rhodes, which sounds great, for the record. He's a great player that hasn't gotten his due credit.
Tell us about your custom-tilted keyboard stands.
Whenever you see pictures of keyboard players—unless you're behind the rigs shooting from an aerial view—every shot is of a person standing behind a box. One of the great things about guitar is that you see the player's hands on the instrument, and there's something that resonates there. So I came up with the idea—and I'm not saying I'm the first to do it—to tilt the keyboards away from me a bit, so no matter where you are in the venue, you can see my hands moving on the keys instead of just me making stupid faces and moving my shoulder.
Was it hard to adapt your playing to the tilt?
Actually, I found that having the hand tilted is better ergonomically. I was always taught that the correct technique in piano is to let your hands just fall on the keyboard so there's no tension between the tip of the finger and the shoulder, keeping as loose as possible. The forward tilt achieves that looseness when I'm standing up. I now see metal keyboardists all over the world doing the tilt.
As to the audience seeing the keyboardist's hands, what about the keytar?
As early in my career as 20 years ago, I'd instructed my closest friends that if they ever saw a keytar around my neck, they should rip it off and bludgeon me with it!
Can we blame the '80s for that?
Yeah, all those disgusting digital Tinkerbell sounds that you heard in pop songs—it's just cheesy. There's just been a lot of cheese. It's probably why I used minimal digital sounds on Oceana, though there are modern synths. There's Rhodes, there's B-3, there's analog synth. It was before I got my Kronos, so I'm using a Korg M3 on a lot of the solos. I have some soft synths that I love, which I run on the [Muse Research] Receptor. I like Omnisphere, GForce M-Tron for some of the Mellotrons—those were the go-to sounds.
Can you recall an instance of a certain type of synth sound inspiring your playing in a new way?
A big breakthrough in my keyboard style was when I first joined Dream Theater in '94. They gave me a Korg Trinity and connected me with Jack Hotop, the master sound designer at Korg. He asked me, "What would be your ultimate thing?" and I told him there was a factory patch called "Monster Lead" that I liked, but wanted to get more expressiveness out of. We put a delay on it, assigned the joystick so that down was wah-wah and up was vibrato, and put feedback on the ribbon controller. Jack helped me tweak that and other sounds.
You've played alongside Yngwie Malmsteen. How demanding was that?
Yngwie's music may be more demanding than Alice Cooper but certainly not more so than Planet X or when I first played in Dream Theater—jumping into that was like being thrown in with the lions, learning all those songs I'd never heard before in such a short time. I knew that if I could get over that obstacle, I'd be able to tackle anything that was put in front of me musically.
Tell us about playing with Steve Lukather.
He has probably been on four of my solo records, and he's great. As a kid, I wasn't really a fan of Toto, but the outro solo he played on "Rosanna" was massive, and it's obvious he's one of the greats. I remember the first time on my Inertia album, ten years ago, Simon Phillips goes, "Why don't we bring Lukather in?" and I go, "Why not?" It was a big landmark in my career. Simon is one of my heroes, and here's Lukather, and they're playing on my record, and I'm sitting there going, "Wow, these guys are the cream of the crop—you don't get any higher than this." I need to align myself with those guys because I wanna be one of those guys! I've structured my whole life to get good enough to be in that pantheon of players.
Do you have any influences that fans would be surprised to find out about?
I'd like to give credit to a couple of my teachers that were fantastic. I studied with Russell Ferrante [of the Yellowjackets] for a year or so when I was 19. You can hear his influence on my piano solo on the first song "Five Elements." Another teacher of mine who is very underrated is Mitchel Forman. He's a jazz guy, but he has some balls to him. He's here in L.A. and I studied with him. I recorded some tracks on Inertia at his studio because he had a really cool Rhodes, and I liked him coaching me along because he's a really sick player.
What was the first concert where you saw a keyboard player and it made you say, "Oh my gosh?"
I saw the Return To Forever reunion in '81 or '82, and Chick Corea was great.
What rock bands were you digging back then?
In 1980, Van Halen was my first rock concert, for the album Women and Children First. My son is named Halen . . . that's how big of an impact they had, even though there was no keyboard until the 1984 album. Just the massiveness, the mightiness—I thought, "Man, this is what I wanna do for a living." I actually got a chance to play with Eddie in 2006.
How did that happen?
There was a party at his house, and he hired a cover band my friend was in. My friend said, "Derek, you gotta be on this gig." So we went to Eddie's house for rehearsal. It wasn't planned that Eddie would play, but he said, "I wanna play too." And I'm all, "This is amazing!" So I'm up there jamming, and I took a solo on something, and Eddie says, "Wow, it sounds like you've listened to me a lot." And I go, "Aw, yeah!" It was just surreal. I've met a lot of rock stars over the years, but that was a different level. So he brought me into his studio, and I ended up staying in there for two hours listening to stories, and I'm seeing the shark guitar from the Women and Children First cover, and vaults of master tapes that no one has ever heard. I was like, "Pinch me. This isn't real."
At that point, did he know who you were?
He probably had no idea! [Laughs.] At the end, I said, "Eddie, this has been a dream come true." I had brought all my solo records, and I said, "Will you please give these a listen?" He took them and said, "Thank you so much." It was pretty awesome to be able to do that.
Speaking of dreams, being on the cover of Keyboard is something I've wanted my whole life, and I hope seeing this inspires younger keyboard players to step up and not just be playing in the background. Really get into your instrument, get into your programming, learn as many styles as you can, but stick to the kind of music that inspires you the most.
Do you have any other rock 'n' roll dreams?
If you're reading this, Jeff Beck, you need me in your band. [Laughs.] Work with Simon Phillips and I on one of our records. Let us write produce and play. Let us go back to the roots. I want to be your keyboard player!

It is with great pleasure to host Tom Palmer on The Reader Teacher today with his guest post sharing his ten ways to encourage children and young adults to become engaged with the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
D-Day Dog is a beautifully written and compelling novel written for readers aged 9+, and is perfect for the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Jack can't wait for the school trip to the D-Day landing beaches. It's his chance to learn more about the war heroes he has always admired – brave men like his dad, who is a Reserve soldier. But when his dad is called up to action and things at home spiral out of control, everything Jack believes about war is thrown into question. Finding comfort only in the presence of his loyal dog Finn, Jack is drawn to the heart-wrenching true story of one particular D-Day paratrooper. On 6 June 1944, Emile Corteil parachuted into France with his dog, Glen – and Jack is determined to discover their fate…
A gripping and poignant celebration of the incredible bravery of the D-Day soldiers and the unbreakable bond between man and his best friend.
D-Day was one of the most significant days in the history of Europe and the world. The beginning of the end of Nazi Germany. On June 6th this year, Europe will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of D-Day. There are international, national and local events that will help teachers work with children and young adults to explain the significance of the day, along with books, resources, films and websites.
- Watch the news. On 5th and 6th June there will be extensive news coverage of commemorative events in Portsmouth and Normandy, including the MV Boudicca sailing with 300 D-Day veterans from England to France on the same journey they made exactly 75 years before.
- Get hold of a special edition £2 coin to mark the D-Day 75th anniversary, featuring a map of the D-Day landing beaches. Something for children to hold onto and remember and maybe give to their own children on the 100th anniversary of D-Day in June 2044?
- Go to your local public library and check out some of the books about D-Day in the history section. Some books have amazing photographs in them and first-hand accounts. Most public libraries will have several books on the shelves about WW2 and D-Day.
- Visit The D-Day Story, a fantastic museum in Portsmouth with a permanent exhibition that does a great job focussing the mind on the planning and actioning of D-Day. They'll be hosting special events from 5th to 9th www.theddaystory.com/
- Go online and search for D-Day links to where you live. The D-Day Story has an interactive map to help you do that: https://theddaystory.com/d-day-on-your-doorstep-interactive-map/. The Imperial War Museum's amazing online collection allows you to search for images and recordings of the men and women who took part in D-Day and made it home to be able to tell their story: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections
- Look out for films on TV, including The Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan and Storming Juno. The TV series Band of Brothers starts with D-Day and is very powerful. There will be documentaries on TV too. But make sure what you are watching is age-appropriate.
- From 1st to 9th June the Imperial War Museum will retell the extraordinary land, air and sea story through their Second World War collection and three historic sites, HMS Belfast, IWM Duxford and the Churchill War Rooms, which experienced first-hand the events of D-Day. https://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/d-day75
- There will be events in towns and cities all over the UK.Some places will witness flypasts of significant aircraft. There will be parties. And many airmen, seamen and soldiers will be remembered in their home counties. Check out your local newspaper's website for information.
- Read Tom Palmer's children's book, D-Day Dog, about a boy who joins a school trip to Normandy where he finds out hard facts about the events of 6th June 1944.Use D-Day Dog as a class read. There are free videos, activities and other resources for schools at http://tompalmer.co.uk/dday-dog/. You can contact Tom for free posters and bookmarks for all your pupils too.
- Some of you might be going to France for your summer holidays.If so, why not travel via Portsmouth and stop for an hour or two to visit some of the key D-Day historic sites and museums in Normandy. Visit the Normandy tourist information site for more details: http://en.normandie-tourisme.fr/things-to-do/sites-and-attractions/d-day-and-the-battle-of-normandy-113-2.html
Tom Palmer, author of D-Day Dog
Big thanks to Tom for his brilliant guest post highlighting ten different ways to commemorate and be involved in the 75th anniversary of this momentous day.
Thanks too to Kirstin and the team at Barrington Stoke for sending me a copy of D-Day Dog.
Mr E
D-Day Dog is available now to pre-order online and from any good independent bookshop.

I have assisted more than 150 individuals & families through the guardianship process.
A guardian is a person appointed by a court to serve as a substitute decision maker for a person called a ward who, because of an impairment, is found by a court to be incompetent. The court may give the guardian authority to make personal decisions for the ward, including providing informed consent for health care and medication, deciding where the ward will live, and deciding who will provide social and supportive services for the ward. This type of guardian is a "guardian of the person." The court also can give the guardian authority to manage the ward's money and other property. This type of guardian is a "conservator of the estate."
The court will appoint one or more guardians to meet the conservator's needs. Some wards need only one type of guardian. The court can appoint one person as conservator of the estate and another as guardian of the person. Often, if the ward needs both types, the court will appoint the same person to be guardian of the person and conservator.
The role of the guardian is distinguished from the role of a conservator by the nature of the decisions they are each authorized to make. Guardians are authorized to make certain personal decisions while conservators are authorized to make financial decisions.
It is possible to avoid the necessity of a guardianship through estate planning. A good estate plan will include a medical power of attorney which will enable a trusted individual to make health care decisions for you in the event of incapacity, and a general durable power of attorney to permit a trusted individual to manage your personal affairs. To a considerable extent, those documents can specify how you wish to live, and how you wish to be treated, in the event of disability – whereas a court or guardian may make decisions with which you would disagree. In most cases, when these documents have been executed in accord with the laws of your state, it will not be necessary for your loved ones to seek the appointment of a guardian or conservator should something happen to you – something that can be difficult and emotionally taxing at an already difficult time.
Before starting this process, it may help to talk to a lawyer who is familiar with guardianship procedure. If you are unsure about whether you should hire a lawyer, it is a good idea to talk to one about your case before you decide whether you can handle it alone.

WineKeeper Review
by Stacey
My husband bought this for me one year ago as I am the only wine drinker in the house and every time I opened a bottle it was either drink the whole thing in a couple days or let it go bad. So much delicious wine wasted. This product has kept an open bottle of wine fresh for months, giving me time to drink it at my own pace. The nirtogen tank lasted almost a year for me and I just bought another 6 pack. So happy with this product.
Works great!
by Sandra
After using the Keeper, my wine stayed fresh for several weeks, I highly recommend it. When I first opened it, I was worried it would be difficult to use, but it is incredibly simple. All the components snap together easily, and I don't have to wait on opening a bottle because I don't have someone over for dinner.

Apparently, the Sheriff's Secret Police agree with me about old Steve Carlsberg, dear listeners. We just received a report from a reliable witness that two days ago, Steve was whisked into the back of a windowless van, only to reappear earlier this morning wearing thick head bandages, and eating styrofoam shaped like an ice cream cone.
I want to take this moment to thank all of you out there for all of the generous donations you may or may not be aware that you just made. During this show, we have raised just a hair over $45,000, which includes a $45,000 donation from a certain anonymous world leader. I can't tell you who. Let's just say: muchos gracias, El Presidente! Mano dura, cabeza, y corazón. [This was a campaign slogan used by Otto Pérez Molina, President of Guatemala; it means "Firm hand, head and heart."]
Thank you again for your involuntary support of community radio. We couldn't do it without the support of listeners like you, in conjunction with unethical contributions from nefarious organizations. And with that, I leave you alone with your thoughts, folks. Stay tuned next for Zydeco Note By Note, a special two-hour verbal description of what zydeco music sounds like. Buenos noches, Night Vale. Good night.

My mother has been visiting us in the UK for the past few weeks and so I have taken the opportunity of baking a few Latin American recipes with her and seeing if the results lived up to our the food memories! One of the thing we re-created very successfully were Alfajores.
Alfajores, or Alfajores de Maicena, are basically a kind of shortbread biscuit made using corn flour and glued together with Dulce de Leche and decorated with desiccated coconut. They are wonderfully soft, not too sweet, and seem to just melt in your mouth!
As with many Latin recipes, it is hard to narrow down where they come from, since variations exist in Spain and across South America, but I would say that they probably feature more prominently in Argentina, being that they contain Dulce de Leche, which is hugely popular there.
Dulce de Leche tastes a bit like toffee, but it's made from boiling milk and sugar for many hours until it turns dark and very tick and sticky, and, again exists across Latin America under many different names, and is used as a spread or to bake cakes and biscuits.
Here's how to make them…
Dulce de Leche
You can buy it already made if you live near a big enough supermarket that sells international food (here in the UK I often see it in Waitrose), but making it yourself is really very easy.
All you need to do is simmer a tin of Condensed Milk for a few hours. You can either use a Slow Cooker for around 6 hours (on high) or in a pan over the hob on low heat for around 3 hours. Make sure the tin is covered completely with boiling water, and if you can, move it around every hour or so. When you open it, the condensed milk will have turned much darker – that's Dulce de Leche.
Ingredients for the Alfajores
– 75 gr of butter
– 75 gr of Fair Trade Sugar
– 1 free range egg
– 1 teaspoon of Fair Trade Vanilla essence
– 1/2 teaspoon of the juice of a Fair Trade lemon
– 50 gr of plain flour
– 150 gr of corn flour (or corn-starch)
1) Mix the sugar and butter using a fork, then add the egg, vanilla and lemon juice. Mix well.
2) Sift the flour and corn flour into the wet mixture and knead into a ball. It is the softest dough you will ever touch!
3) Leave it in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.
4) Pre-heat your oven to 160C
5) Take out the dough from the fridge 15 minutes before using, so it's not too hard to handle.
6) Roll out the dough to a thickness of a centimetre or so.
7) Cut out circles and place on a buttered and floured oven tin.
8) Bake for 12 minutes. They should be very pale when coming out, but to test if they are ready, check that the bottom is not soggy. Leave to cool for a few minutes, until you can comfortably handle them.
9) Smother some Dulce de Leche in between 2 biscuts to glue together, add a bit to the edges and then roll on the coconut.
10) Enjoy with a cup of Fair Trade Tea or Coffee!

Congress of the United States
Date of this Version
Published by Congressional Research Service, 7-5700, www.crs.gov, R40216
On January 28, 2009, the House passed H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. On February 10, the Senate passed an amended version of H.R. 1 (S.Amdt. 570). On February 13, the House and Senate adopted a conference report (H.Rept. 111-16) that reconciled differences between the two bills. The President signed the bill into law on February 17 (P.L. 111- 5). This report identifies funding for water infrastructure programs and projects contained in the legislation, including amounts in the House- and Senate-passed versions that preceded the conference agreement. Among the purposes identified in the legislation are preservation and creation of jobs and promotion of U.S. economic recovery, and investment in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits.
Under the legislation, additional appropriations are directed to a number of existing federal programs that either directly invest in water infrastructure projects or provide assistance to states and localities for such activities. Water infrastructure funding in the bill, which would be available for obligation for the remainder of FY2009 and through September 30, 2010, is provided to five federal agencies and one commission would total $13.5 billion.
The bill provides funding for locally built wastewater and drinking water treatment projects through assistance programs administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). For the EPA wastewater program, the enacted bill provides $4.0 billion. For the EPA drinking water program, P.L. 111-5 provides $2.0 billion in additional funds. These funds will be allocated to states according to established formulas, and states will award actual assistance to projects and communities. For the USDA programs that benefit rural communities, the enacted legislation provides $1.38 billion in grants and loans. Additional funding in the bill for these programs would be three to four times more than the level of current appropriations.
The enacted legislation provides funding for water resources development and management projects administered by four agencies. It provides $4.6 billion for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and $1.0 billion for the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation). The legislation also provides $340 million for USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) small watershed program, and $220 million for the Department of State's International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) levee and dam upgrades. Little is publicly known about how most of these funds will be distributed among individual projects, because water resources programs generally do not distribute based on pre-defined formulas. Which projects and how much each state will receive largely will be determined by the Administration within the eligibility and prioritization direction provided in the legislation and its accompanying conference report.
Even after enactment, implementation of the additional water infrastructure funding in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is likely to raise a number of issues, including how the additional funds included in this legislation will influence decisions on regular appropriations bills beyond FY2009. Another issue concerns matching fund requirements. Unless project assistance is provided entirely as grants, communities and project sponsors will need to come up with matching funds, which could be very challenging in the current fiscal environment.

Accounting History and DevelopmentAccounting is as old as money itself. In India, Chanakya, in his book 'Arthashastra' has emphasised the existence and need of proper accounting and auditing. However, the presently followed system of double entry book-keeping has been developed only in the 15th Century. Its development goes to the genius Luca Pacioli, a multi-talented mathematician and philosopher who lived in Italy in the 15th century. A book written by him on Mathematics, popularly known as "Summa" was published in 1494 which contains the essential elements of the double entry accounting system that is still in use today.
Earlier, accounting was considered simply as a process of recording business transactions and the role of an accountant was that of a record-keeper. But today's rapid changing business environment has forced the accountants to reassess the roles and functions both within the organisation and the society. Accounting is considered to be a tool of management providing vital information concerning the organisation's future. Accounting today is thus, more of an information system rather than a mere recording system.

I haven't had the chance to get much done on George for a while, so when the long weekend came along, I took the opportunity to tick a couple of things off the old list.
Fist thing to do was replacing the blower motor. I've had issues with the fan turning on when selecting speeds 1 or 2. It would only spin up when going straight to 3 or 4. So, off came the wiper and what seemed to be half the engine compartment. It's a job that cam be done in about an hour, but since it's my first time battling with this, I took over 3 hours. Yay me....not.
Next, I installed a replacement steering wheel so I can get the original one restitched. It's looking a bit tatty and could use a bit of TLC.
That's all for now but there are a few more things that need looking into so stay tuned.
