"Lemon Drop and Mallory have been "visiting" A Stay in the Country Pet Lodging since 2008. It is such a relief to know that when we travel for both business and pleasure, they are happy, content and well cared for. A "package" that's hard to find. We' recently started to have all our grooming done there with equal success. My introverted, anxious and sensitive Golden as well as my loud, bossy and fun-loving Corgi can both call A Stay in the Country their home away from home. Thanks."
Dana Norris
''I am out of town a great deal for work. Boarding at A Stay in the Country gives me incredible peace of mind. Charlie is treated like one of the family."
Fred Diderick
"I am the owner of six dogs who are like children to me. I take all six of my dogs to Harriet at "A Stay in The Country" every time I have to travel. My experience with Harriet has been that she is a real dog lover and takes the time to make sure that each one of my dogs has a stress-free enjoyable stay. I drive an hour to take my dogs to a Stay in the Country because I feel that with Harriet they will receive the attention and care that they get at home. Thanks.
Jennifer Hatcher
"I tell everyone I know about A Stay in the Country. George has been coming to daycare for 2 years now and he is a completely different dog. He is more confident and happier being around people. He has made a lot of friends there! We are moving out of state and it is breaking my heart that George won't be at daycare anymore!"
Julie Broadinski
"Buster Brown wags his tail and gets excited when we pull into the scenic entranceway at A Stay in the Country. It is an idyllic setting for dogs to be at one with all that nature has to offer on their vacation. I am at peace knowing that he will be safe, loved and content during his stay; and it is evident to me that when I pick him up, he has had a doggone good time! I will always board Buster Brown at A Stay in the Country when I have to go out of town because I know he will be spoiled and happy and you are conveniently located near the airport. You have two loyal customers!"
Jennifer Simmons. & Buster Brown
''Sam and I are so happy we found A Stay in the Country. Whenever I pull in the drive Sam goes crazy, he is so excited. When I pick him up, he is happy and tired. Thanks!"
Stacy Kern
"Our Basset Hounds, Blanche and Mabel haven't quite figured out that they've actually ever been to a "kennel". Whenever they arrive at 'A Stay in the Country' they greet the owner Harriet like they're seeing an old friend. "A Stay in the Country" is like their second home. They also get baths and have their nails done on each visit (and doing Blanche's nails is no easy task!)."
Dana Bennsinger
''We are so pleased with your place. It was not only clean and beautiful, but your staff really cares. When I left for my trip, I knew my Goldies were in great hands.''
Ginny Bayer
"Our dog, Lollie, LOVES A stay in the Country! The facilities are excellent and there's plenty of room for her to run and play. Most importantly, we know Lollie receives great care from a staff that's very knowledgeable and truly cares for each pet like it's their own. We HIGHLY recommend A Stay in the Country and wouldn't consider leaving our pet with anyone else."
Ken & Robin Hurst
''When we made plans to go out of the country, I worried who would take care of Charlie with all the medications and special care he needed. I didn't want him to be just a number in a big kennel. A Stay in the Country took care of all his needs and showered him with attention. We are huge and grateful fans!''
Chris Nonner
"It is a great comfort to know that Barnabas is in good hands when I board him and to trust in the care that he receives. Barnabas enjoys his time at A Stay in the Country because they show him personal attention and cater to his specific needs."
Kevin Collins
''I needed someone to care for my 4 Leonbergers while we attended our son's out of state wedding. My Leos are pretty darned special, but I didn't have a moment's worry as I enjoyed the weekend with family. They took excellent care of them and I look forward to boarding them in the future, whenever we want to go off without our dogs.''
Jacquelyn Brooks
"My dog Harley absolutely loves his time at A Stay In The County. He is so funny. When it is time to go for his boarding, I make him sit, and I say…. Harley, do you want to go see Ms. Harriett? … and Harley starts jumping straight up into the air, he runs to his "suitcase", to the door and back to me until I finally get him leashed up and ready to go. He is soooo excited!!!!!! And when we pull into the driveway, he jumps up on the seat and starts barking in anticipation of seeing Ms. Harriet and all his canine buddies. He can hardly wait to get out there to play with his friends. There is no other place he would rather be!"
Patsy Lewis
"My two dogs, Sassy and Brody love to be groomed at A Stay in the Country. They love all the attention they get. In the past, everyone I took them to had a real hard time cutting their nails and cleaning their ears. The Staff at A Stay in the Country take their time with them. They really seem to understand my pups! Thanks Harriet!!!
Amanda Sloan
"Cooper can not talk because he is a dog but he can show signs of happiness, satisfaction and being well cared for and loved. And believe me, this is what he experiences when he vacations at A Stay in the Country in Charles City. We have used many pet boarding places over the last 35 years with our wonderful dogs but I can honestly say these folks love my puppy and give him the attention he wants and needs. We travel from Midlothian, approximately 45 minutes each way and I would now not consider any other boarding location. It is obvious how much they play with him as he is a happy exhausted when he gets home. Thank you Jennifer and Harriet and all the other associates for loving Cooper and taking such good care of him."
Karen Lewicki
"Harriet worked miracles on our Portuguese Water Dog, Gabby. She stayed 7 days with the Lodge and Train Program and she actually listens to us now. Before she just ran us over and wouldn't mind us at all. After we got back from our trip, Harriet took the time to show us how to handle her. We will be coming back for more instruction!"
Bea McClure
"My Brittany, Pete, was an un-socialized dog when we got him at 2 years old. Not only with humans, with other dogs. He had a clinical case of separation anxiety, too. By going to daycare a few times a week, Harriet and her caring crew have helped Pete build confidence. In fact, he's become quite a character. When we travel we don't worry about boarding Pete because he loves the facility and gets lots of attention. They have carefully matched his energy level to his playmates and that pup is tired when he comes home! He met his best friend there, too. What sets A Stay In the Country apart is that they take the time to give special attention to each pet. "

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency released a video (below) of what its engineers have in mind for its next generation armored vehicle.
Army and Marine officials have said their service's combat vehicle must get lighter but remain protected on the battlefield. Lightening armor has remained a focus for years.
DARPA wants to accomplish the goal of lightening armored vehicles, but not simply with next generation armor. The Pentagon's research lab wants to design vehicles that can dodge tank rounds and RPGs within the Ground X-Vehicle Technologies program.
In September, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will host a proposer's day to give potential contractors a more clear idea of what the Defense Department wants in its Ground X-Vehicle Technologies program.

In here I showed how to use the @Named with Spring 3 to create "named beans", to be used in frameworks like JSF2… Since we usually want to inject service implementations into our JSF beans, we need to use the @Inject from the JSR 330 (of course the regular Spring DI mechanism works as well). The JSF bean could look like:
@Model public class SimpleBean { @Inject Service service; ... public void callSomething() { service.myStuff(); ...
Now we need to have an implementation of the Service interface. In order to allow the Spring Framework to find the (right) implementation the class itself needs to be annotated with the @Component annotation (or one of its specializations, like @Service which marks the class to be a "business service facade"):
@org.springframework.stereotype.Service public class ServiceImpl implements Service { ... }
If your class (->interface implementation) does not have a meaning like that, you could simply use the @Named annotation from the JSR 330, like:
@javax.inject.Named public class ServiceImpl implements Service { ... }
The good news with @Named and Spring here is that you could also combine the "Component" annotations and the @Named. This is useful if you have multiple implementations, like:
@org.springframework.stereotype.Service @javax.inject.Named("bonusCustomerSerivce") public class ServiceImpl implements Service { ... }
The injection point inside of your "clients", like the JSF managed beans now also need to use @Named("bonusCustomerService") if the bean wants to use this specific one. The @Named usage may look a bit verbose, but there is help. You could create your own annotations, leveraging the @Qualifier from JSR 330. This is also supported in Spring3…
Good news here is (again) that most of the Dependency Injection "API" is similar in JavaEE 6 and Spring 3. You can used the @Inject, @Named and/or custom @Qualifiers (more soon). Right, there are also some differences between the two, but that's coming in a later post…

I'm combining Fat Chick posts this week since I missed last week. I suck.
I'm still struggling with trying to get exercise and eating right into a schedule that seems to be all consuming. I'm getting there, but it's not easy.
I think I am coming around to the inevitable conclusion that I'm going to have to exercise in the morning. I really, really, really don't want to do that, but I can't see away around it. I am not a morning person at all, and I have tried to work out in the morning in the past without much success. I bought into that whole line of thinking that it is a great way to start the day! If you exercise at 5:00 a.m. you'll feel fabulous all day long!! I tried that, and all it did was make me a raging bitch all day long. I just don't have the gene that makes people fabulous at 5:00 a.m. Unless it's 5:00 a.m. and I'm still up, then I'm fabulous.
The kids have started soccer, we're down to one car again, my work hours have increased, I have two parties to plan and I'm getting defeated. I ate crappy all weekend and I haven't exercised as much as I should. I really need to get it together. This is what the backslide feels like. I haven't even had time to read or write blogs lately, and that's something I actually like to do. Life is too much and stressing me out.
I can't even think of anything else to write. I've lost two pounds in two weeks. I have 36 more pounds to go. Blah.

Born in Peniche (1974). Completed his MA in Product Design at ESAD.CR. With several years of relevant experience in the ceramic industry, recently his work has been guided towards a more personalized approach and of self-production development, as a result of his research in ceramics within his MA project. The knowledge of these two dimensions, mass and self-production, granted him the distinctive opportunity to develop new methods of ceramic forming. He has created new processes of forming objects, that allow a formal variation starting from a single mold, which he named "Moldes Mutantes". By fostering an experimental approach, the aim is to develop products that have an history behind and an unique shape that incorporate and reveal in itself all the decisions taken during the manufacturing process.

Court of Appeals Includes Stock Holdings in Capital Despite St. Ledger Decision
In Monumental Life Insurance Company v. Department of Revenue, No. 2005-CA-002148-MR (Ky. App. Sept. 8, 2008), the Court of Appeals ("Court") held in a two-to-one split-decision opinion that assets in the form of shares of corporate stock of Monumental Life Insurance Company ("Monumental"), a subsidiary of Aegon USA, Inc., were exempted, rather than excluded, when calculating capital for purposes of determining Monumental's St. Ledger ad valorem capital stock tax refunds and assessments and that assets booked as domestic life insurance company "separate accounts" were subject to retroactive ad valorem taxation as "omitted" property.
In so holding, the Court affirmed the decisions of the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals and the Franklin Circuit Court which had approved the Department of Revenue's ("Revenue") denial of Monumental's tax refund claims and its request for relief from additional retroactive tax assessments made by Revenue.
Monumental is a domestic life insurance company which conducted business within Kentucky and was subject to the ad valorem property tax of KRS 136.320 on its taxable capital and taxable reserves. In addition, Monumental paid the local option ad valorem taxes levied by the City of Louisville, Kentucky and Jefferson County, Kentucky that were determined on the basis of Monumental's taxable capital as certified by Revenue.
In anticipation of the resolution of St. Ledger v. Revenue Cabinet, 942 S.W.2d 893 (Ky. 1997), on remand from, 517 U.S. 1206 (1996), vacating, 912 S.W.2d 34 (Ky. 1995), Monumental began filing annual protective refund claims with Revenue, the City of Louisville and Jefferson County. At issue in St. Ledger was the constitutionality of KRS 136.030(1) which provided an exemption from ad valorem property tax on shares of stock of corporations that paid Kentucky property tax on at least 75% of their property.
Following St. Ledger, Revenue initially excluded all stock assets from the KRS 136.320 tax calculations for the 1997 and 1998 tax years. Later, Revenue processed Monumental's protective refund claims for the years 1991 through 1996 and treated Monumental's stock assets as exempt (not excluded) intangible property in the KRS 136.320 tax calculations which substantially reduced Monumental's St. Ledger.
Revenue then re-audited Monumental's 1998 return and determined that Monumental failed to include "separate accounts" assets, which primarily consisted of pension and retirement assets held for payout to future retirees. This substantially increased Monumental's 1998 liability. Later on, Revenue also increased its assessments for the 1995 through 1997 tax years.
In reviewing, the Court stated that the primary issues raised were "whether [Revenue] erroneously treated the value of investment corporate stock held by Monumental when computing its tax liability pursuant to [KRS 136.320] for the years 1990 through 1996 [. . .] and whether [Revenue] properly subjected 'separate accounts' assets to taxation during the years 1995 through 1998."
Monumental asserted that as a result of the St. Ledger decision, its stock holdings were not subject to ad valorem taxes and were to be excluded from the tax computation of KRS 136.320. In so calculating, Revenue, however, included the stock holdings in Monumental's capital and then subsequently deducted the value of the stock as exempt intangibles.
The Court discussed St. Ledger's effect on the taxability of stock. It observed that theSt. Ledger Court held that the involved exemption statute [KRS 136.030(1)] violated that Commerce Clause as discriminatory against out-of-state corporations and was therefore, unconstitutional. Having held the exemption statute under KRS 136.030(1) unconstitutional, the St. Ledger Court then considered whether the corporate shares of ad valorem tax under 132.020 could remain in effect. The St. Ledger Court concluded that the shares of stock could not be taxed pursuant to KRS 132.020, and relying on the Commonwealth's long-standing policy of prohibiting double taxation, the St. Ledger Court struck the exemption statute and the tax on shares of stock in KRS 132.020, reasoning that the latter intact would result in taxation of not only corporation, but also their shareholders. But, the Court observed that "we find nothing in the St. Ledger opinion which purported to affect [KRS 136.320's] use of stock in its formulas." And, thus the Court Panel concluded that Monumental misinterpreted St. Ledger.
The Court then held that because the clear text of KRS 136.320 taxed shares of stock, same could not be excluded. It then stated that it believed that exclusion of stock produced an illogical result and that it believed that Revenue's interpretation of KRS 136.320 was reasonable.
The Court also rejected the applicability of the doctrine of contemporaneous construction, which holds that where an administrative agency has the responsibility of interpreting an ambiguous statute, the agency must use any longstanding construction of the provisions of the statute it previously made. Monumental had argued that Revenue's acceptance of the exclusion method in its audits of Monumental's 1997 and 1998 returns and Revenue's prior years long employment of such method in relation to partnership interests and mutual funds supported the applicability of the doctrine; however, the Court rejected this argument because it found that the two-year period during which Revenue accepted Monumental's method could not satisfy the "longstanding" period of time, a requirement of the contemporaneous construction doctrine.
Another issue was whether Monumental's separate accounts were subject to taxation. Monumental argued that Revenue erred by assessing tax against the separate accounts assets for years 1995 through 1998. Once again, the Court employed the plain meaning doctrine and found that KRS 136.320 defined "capital" as consisting of all money in hand, shares of stock, notes, bonds, accounts, and other credits, exclusive of due and deferred premiums, whether secured by mortgage, pledge, or otherwise, or unsecured—which included separate account holdings.
Monumental argued that if the accounts were subject to taxation, back assessments were improper under retroactivity provisions of KRS 132.290 because the statute permits only "omitted property" to be assessed retroactively. The Court, however, found that although Monumental reported the grand total of the separate accounts in its Revenue filings, it failed to file supporting sub-accounts which would have disclosed to Revenue, it concluded that items booked to the account were taxable. This, in the Court's opinion, made such accounts "omitted" and therefore, Revenue properly applied the retroactivity provisions of the statute.
In contrast, the ten page Dissenting Opinion included a strong dissent that would have held for Monumental on virtually all points of law. The Dissent acknowledged that the intent behind the St. Ledger Court's holding "was to declare all ad valorem taxes on the ownership of corporate shares forbidden unless the legislature clearly states to the contrary" and recognized that "[b]ecause of the difference in the tax rates under the statute (KRS 136.320), the exemption method results in a substantially higher tax," leading to improper double taxation under long-standing law. The Dissent also found the taxation of the separate accounts to be improper because Monumental possessed only legal title. It observed that "when legal and equitable title are separated the legal interest is virtually worthless because of itself it owns nothing and can exercise no control over the property."
The author's firm represents Monumental in this case. Monumental has filed a Motion for Discretionary Review with the Kentucky Supreme Court where it remains pending.

Even with dismal ratings, American Idol (please go gently into that good-night…) still remains in the news. This time, the long-running reality show is facing a potential lawsuit brought by nine former contestants who are claiming that the show and its producers are giant racists. So, there's that.
I'm going to go out on a limb right now and say that I don't think the show or its practices exude any type of racism. If I'm wrong Jennifer Hudson is having the best last laugh ever. Factoring in the voters, the fans, and the singers, it would take a lot to skew the show in the direction of racism. To me it sounds like a bunch of sour yet talented former contestants who didn't find the fame they'd hoped when getting the boot prior to the finale. Just fade into obscurity like the rest of them…heck, Taylor Hicks won his season, and who even knows what he's up to these days! (Apparently, he's headlining his own show in Vegas, but more on that after the jump 🙂 I know, right?)
Anyhoo, we live in a sue-happy world, and it is what it is. I guess that's a good thing for Corey Clark (Season 2), Jaered Andrews (Season 2), Donnie Williams (Season 3), Terrell Brittenum (Season 5), Derrell Brittenum (Season 5), Thomas Daniels (Season 6), Akron Watson (Season 6), Ju'Not Joyner (Season 8) and Chris Golightly (Season 9). The crew has scored an attorney that has filed a request with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to gain permission to sue Idol and FOX for his clients.
According to TMZ, New York based attorney James Freeman found something "fishy" about the show when some African American contestants were kicked off after their criminal records were revealed. After finding out that Jermaine Jones (notice that he's smart enough not to be a party to this lawsuit!) was kicked to the curb when he failed to be forthcoming about several outstanding warrants out for his arrest, Freeman began investigating the show…and compiling his perfect list of plaintiffs.
Freeman discovered that all of the contestants who were publically disqualified for lying about past arrests are black. Citing California law, he argues that producers were not allowed to ask about criminal history since a statute in California prohibits employers from questioning potential employees about past arrests. What? That may be the dumbest law I've ever heard (well, not ever). Freeman asserts that because the contestants were vying for employment with American Idol, digging into their pasts was unlawful. Brilliant stance, but it's quite the stretch.
In his letter to the EEOC, Freeman contends the show "NEVER once publicly disqualified a white or non-black American Idol contestant in the history of the eleven season production." He also notes that none of those disqualified were ever convicted of their crimes. Of his clients he claims, "[T]heir personal and professional lives remain permanently and severely impaired by [the show's] continuing violations of our nation's laws."
The show has had three African American winners, and its head honcho Nigel Lythgoe says, "We treat everybody the same … no matter the race, religion or sex. I think we've always had a fantastic share of talent from contestants both black and white…I don't think I've ever seen racism at the show."
Nigel definitely has some support from former American Idols. Melinda Doolittle, a frontrunner from seaon six, tells the same site, "It is shocking to see such allegations. In my experience on the show, the 'Idol' team strives to champion everyone, regardless of race. However, each contestant is explicitly told that the withholding of information that may compromise the show or artist, can and will result in immediate disqualification." That sounds about right.
Season four finalist Vonzell Solomon agrees, sharing, "I didn't experience any of that [racial discrimination]…all of our contracts were clear about how the background checks worked and that we could be disqualified if we lied about our past."
Even former winner Taylor has
come out of the woodwork taken a break from his Vegas tour to add his two cents. He asserts, "American Idol is for everyone. All walks of life go through the show. Not once did I see the show discriminate towards anyone. It's all about the votes."
Sheesh! It will be interesting to see if this lawsuit ever comes to pass. I'm guessing that it won't, but our legal system never ceases to surprise me. I just think the whole thing is ridiculous, but here's hoping that it helps aid the show's sagging ratings. We'll see!

Apologies for the late notice: Sustainable Witney's committee are meeting at 6.30pm this Thursday (30 August). It will be at 17, The Springs, off Corn Street. There's lots of exciting projects to discuss:
- commissioning feasibility studies for a possible car club
- planning when to have the AGM
- thermal imaging comes to Witney this winter
- and we finally have a date for our Refashion event! (more on that later)
- plus! other stuff
… so do come along if you'd be interested in helping out. Many of these projects are already ongoing, so don't feel you're going to get volunteered for anything big if you do turn up! And new faces are always welcome.

The train to Spain is better than the planeAugust 19th, 2012
How do you lead a sustainable life and still travel to other countries? Aviation is often the elephant in the room: people who work very hard to reduce their carbon footprint are tempted to turn a blind eye when it comes to foreign travel, partly because it seems as if there's no alternative. There often is – it's just not as well-known as the flying option.

What do you do once you've picked the low-hanging fruit of sustainable household improvement? Let's say that (like us) you've already had your loft and cavity walls insulated, and all your windows are double-glazed. Where do you go next? The two main directions are: think big (replacement boiler or wood burner, triple glazing, solar water heating); or think small (changing habits, draught exclusion.)

Bridewell Organic Gardens open days in August and SeptemberAugust 9th, 2012
Bridewell Organic Gardens are on the far side of Wilcote from Witney. You might have seen their signs and garden walls, en route between Wilcote and North Leigh on the long, sweeping single-track road.
But have you ever thought about what they do? They're a therapeutic gardening project: they offer worthwhile work opportunities, in a therapeutic setting, for those who need a combination of therapy, exercise and to make a valuable contribution while doing so; the majority of their referrals are from primary care trusts.
Because of their therapeutic status, the gardens aren't often accessible to the public. But! you can go on one of their open days, which will be on Sundays 19 August and 9 September. That's a week this Sunday; and the second Sunday in September.
If you're free on one of those days, why not pop along to Bridewell gardens, and maybe bring back some locally produced organic wine, or even organic honey, in your panniers…?
Edible Gardens meet Tuesday 14 AugustAugust 5th, 2012
This is just a quick reminder that the Edible Gardens group will be meeting on Tuesday 14 August, at 10.30am-12 noon. They meet at Cogges on the second Tuesday of every month.

Science Proves It. But Our Foremothers Already Knew It.
Historically, fenugreek and other herbal remedies (such as blessed thistle and anise) have been used around the world by millions of women to improve breast milk production.* It is believed that fenugreek and blessed thistle work better when taken together. Fenugreek, or Trigonella foenum-graecum (try saying that three times fast), is a plant from India and the Mediterranean region. The seeds are the part of the plant most useful for increasing milk production.* Fenugreek has been given the FDA's GRAS designation (Generally Regarded As Safe). Studies show that it has no adverse effects and helps to boost a mother's milk production and infant weight gain.* A recent clinical trial showed just how helpful fenugreek can be. 78 breastfeeding mothers and their babies, newborn to 4 months old, were divided into two groups. One group received fenugreek several times daily; the other group received a placebo. Before the trial began, there were no significant differences in the babies' weight, head circumference, and the number of wet and dirty diapers. After a one-month trial, however, the group receiving fenugreek demonstrated greater breast milk sufficiency. The babies whose mothers used fenugreek weighed more, had greater head circumferences, and more wet and dirty diapers (indicating more breast milk consumption). Milkflow's proprietary fenugreek formula is unique. Fenugreek, blessed thistle, and anise are all known galactagogues. The 10:1 concentration of fenugreek extract means you get enough fenugreek to boost milk supply with only two to three drinks per day.
Real, Plant-based Ingredients
The ingredients in Milkflow drink mix grow in the ground; they aren't created in a lab. Fenugreek, blessed thistle, and anise are herbs that have been used for centuries. We use only natural berry flavors, and beet juice for color. A little bit of real sugar adds a touch of sweetness.
You won't find any artificial ingredients in Milkflow Fenugreek + Blessed Thistle Drink Mix. You won't find any GMOs, either (which kind of falls under the category of artificial, but we thought you'd want to know). No high fructose corn syrup … and no regular corn syrup, either. Plus, Milkflow is free from common allergens such as soy, wheat, corn, dairy, eggs, and gluten.
What is fenugreek?
Fenugreek, or trigonella foenum-graecum, is a plant from India and the Mediterranean. It has been used by generations of women to promote breast milk production.
I've heard fenugreek gives off a maple syrup odor, is that true?
The fenugreek herb has a natural maple scent. When taking a fenugreek supplement, a maple syrup odor may occur in perspiration or urine. But don't worry – the scent does not need to be present for Milkflow to be working!
What is blessed thistle?
Blessed thistle is a plant found in the Mediterranean region of the world and is related to asters and daisies. It many places, it's considered a noxious weed. (Fortunately, we know better!)
Is there a difference between blessed thistle and milk thistle? Yes! While both plants are in the aster family, they are distinct from each other. Blessed thistle has yellow flowers surrounded by spiny leaves. It grows primarily in the Mediterranean region from Southern Europe to North Africa and in Western Asia. Flowers, leaves, stems and roots have been used in folk medicine, homeopathy, and, more recently, in pharmaceuticals.
The blooms of the milk thistle plant are purple. While milk thistle originated in Europe, it is now found throughout North America. The leaves and stems contain milky white sap. The seeds contain active beneficial compounds and are used to create extracts and powders.
Blessed Thistle is a known galactagogue, recognized for its ability to help increase breast milk production. Milk thistle is known for its liver-protective qualities and is used to treat liver and gallbladder problems.

'Breaking Bad': 5 Key Quotes From Sunday's Episode Examined
[Warning: spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of Breaking Bad, "Buried."]
Things are going pretty terribly for the White and Schrader families in the latest episode of Breaking Bad. Marie (Betsy Brandt) knows Skyler has been privy to Walt's activities since before Hank was shot and wants nothing more than Walt to go down for it. Walt (Bryan Cranston) has just months to live and might leave his family penniless if he's caught.
PHOTOS: 'Breaking Bad': 20 Most Shocking Deaths
And Skyler (Anna Gunn) is stuck in the middle of it all, having a breakdown in a diner as Hank (Dean Norris) tries to get her to rat her husband out.
But on the plus side, all of this drama is bringing out some pretty profound lines from these people's mouths. Below, The Hollywood Reporter counts down the top quotes of the week.
5. Kuby to Huell: "We're here to do a job, not channel Scrooge McDuck."
After Huell (Lavell Crawford) says "I've got to do it" and plops down onto Walt's pile of millions, Kuby (Bill Burr) attempts to put him in his place. Breaking Bad has always been funny in spite of its darkness, and this episode is no different. If we can't have Skinny Pete and Badger for comic relief, these two do quite nicely.
4. Marie to Hank: "You have to get him."
Marie has gone through a lot -- from Hank's PTSD and near assassination to caring for her sister's kids when she's unable to. She's kept it together by focusing on fluff to distract her from the terrible situations. But no more. Marie is down to business -- and we don't think she'll be prattling about European vacations or promotions to D.C. any time soon.

3. Walt to Saul: "Hank is family. Understand that?"
This answers a big question that we'd been wondering since the premiere: Will Walt kill Hank? For now, it seems Hank is safe. But we're willing to bet Walt might decide he has no choice but to go back on his "I don't kill family" rule.
2. Skyler to Walt: "Maybe your best move here is to stay quiet."
Echoing Walt's "tread lightly" line to Hank, Skyler's advice indicates Marie's accusation is true: Skyler won't give up Walt to the DEA because she thinks he can get away with it and her family can keep the money. The tender moment also showed that perhaps some of her feelings for her husband were still there.
1. Walt to Skyler: "You keep the money. Don't ever speak of it. Never give it up, and pass it on to our children. Give them everything. Would you do that? Please? Please don't let me have done all of this for nothing."
STORY: 'Breaking Bad's' Touching Tribute to a Fallen Fan
Just when Vince Gilligan and his team made us hate Walt the most, are they going to make him sympathetic again? Seeing him broken, dying, lying on the floor, and reminding us why he got in the meth trade in the first place, was a tear-jerker of a scene, even if we can't forget all of the death that Walt has left in his wake.
What was your favorite line from the episode? Did we miss any biggies? Sound off in the comments!
Breaking Bad airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

By harnessing the power of buying in bulk, solar co-ops are on the rise, providing energy-conscious people a more affordable solar solution.
WV Sun, a part of a national non-profit called the Community Power Network (CPN), held an informational meeting at the train station in Shepherdstown last week to introduce the concept of solar co-ops, answer questions and provide education about solar energy. There are no fees to join the co-op and no overarching laws or rules.
Co-op members save money through a competitive bidding process. Once bids are received, a single installation company is selected by co-op members, individual contracts are signed and installation will begin.

A variety of factors are involved to determine whether the homeowner's roof is a good candidate to receive panels. The direction of sun exposure - a south-facing home is the best-case scenario. Other qualifiers like condition, age and architecture of the roof, and the amount of trees and shade near the house also play a role. Solar can work on most types of roofs, but ground installation is an option.
Solar panels are based on a photovoltaic technology that converts sunlight into energy. The panels collect energy which then flows to an inverter, converting the direct current to an alternating current so that it can be fed into a commercial electrical grid. The inverter also monitors the system and grid to ensure that energy is flowing properly.
"On a lovely sunny day, your panels may be producing more power than you are consuming at that moment," said WV Sun program director Autumn Long. "When that happens, that excess electricity flows back out through your electric meter, spins the meter backwards, flows into your local electric system to help power your neighbor's home. You're contributing power to the electric system. Thanks to a policy called 'net metering,' your utility company is required by law to credit you for the power that you produce and share with the grid. For every kilowatt your panel produces that flows into the electric grid, you get credit for that on you electric bill."
Long explained that the panels themselves don't store power, but a back up battery could be purchased, although they are considerably more expensive.
WV Sun can start a co-op with at least 20-30 members and estimates the whole process to take 4-8 months. For more information, visit www.wvsun.org.
"Solar is a long-term investment," Long said. "Solar panels come with 25-year production warranties, meaning that they are guaranteed to be producing power for you for 25 years at least."

John Tavares thanked Islanders fans and reflected on his time with the team via a Players' Tribune letter published on Wednesday.
The former Islanders' team captain described a breakdown-like situation he endured when he was forced to choose whether to sign with the Maple Leafs or remain with the Islanders -- a decision he said he "just literally, physically could not" make.
Tavares, who turned down an eight-year deal with the Islanders in favor of a contract with the Maple Leafs, said he wrote the letter because of his "real, honest, still-there love for the New York Islanders hockey franchise."
Still doesn't seem real.- Jeff Veillette (@JeffVeillette) July 11, 2018
(via @CCMHockey) pic.twitter.com/s4wdnDuvFU
Tavares thanked several of his teammates and former coaches on the Islanders, as well as others within the organization, but he was especially thankful for the support of the Islanders' fans during his time on the team.
"It's like you look up into the stands one night, and suddenly it just … man, it really does hit you: what a community this place is, in every sense of the word," he said.
Tavares also said in the letter that he had not yet made a decision about his future when he attended meetings with various teams this off-season.
Tavares explained of his decision to join the Maple Leafs -- a decision that was rooted in his earliest days of his life.
"The Leafs weren't just my first hockey love. They were basically my first human memory," Tavares said before noting that he remembered where he was while he was watching the Leafs vs. the Blues in 1993 -- when he was maybe three years old.
Nonetheless, he said he also "grew up" in New York because he was just a 19-year-old when he was first drafted by the Islanders.
"I want to apologize, from the bottom of my heart, for things not working out - and for the fact that, under my captaincy, we fell short of our ultimate goal," he said. "But I gave it all that I had … and I can't tell you how grateful I am for how you gave me all that you had in return."

Thank you,keep HWC posted with her ongoing treatment.
Dear Dr. Wequar Ali Khan,
First insight was theoretical and based on the analysis of rubrics. Later, I recognize a case of Adamas, administrate the remedy and improve my article by my clinical experiences.
Case of Adamas
Women, 42, married
2 children, homeopath
Complaints: diabetes, founded 8 years ago. In this moment it was very height. Doctor said that she suffers from diabetes long time before diabetes is founded. During the 3 days she was getting insulin injections but all results was so good and after 3 days she started with pills. No more injection.
15 years ago, she had tuberculosis of lung tissue. Her father and 4 cousins were died from tuberculosis.
She is low, moderately obese.
I studied law. I didn't finish my studies. I was excellent student. Teachers had many complaints about my knowledge, my comprehension. Some of them told me that I will be teacher also. That I have a talent.
I stayed pregnant, but I was determined to finish studies. The director of the University allowed me to continue studies for free during one year. But, life is cruel. The war began in ex Yugoslavia. There was crisis. I had to work. I was very exhausted. Child, job, fear from war… I couldn't stand it any more. My father was living with us. He had tuberculosis and he was contagious. I was afraid for children. He didn't take care about his spoon, his glass. Fortunately, child stand health, but I become ill. I have spent 42 days in the hospital. At first, the doctor said that I have cancer of lung. I was happy when I found out that I have TBC. I had to break my studies. I was going along the street and crying with my index. I repeated in myself: I will come back. I will come back. This is not the end. I don't give up. People were looking me piteously.
When my father died my second child was born. It was during bombing of Belgrade. My first hypoglycemia appeared in this moment but I didn't pay attention. I was thinking to continue my studies, but there was no money. My baby was crying and crying, all day, all night. I didn't know what to do.
I started to work in a real steam agency 4 years later. I was secretary. It was very hard and stressful job. No one can do what I could do. I found the new way to offer more flats, to make better advertisement. But, after two years there were no more challenge for me. I was desperate. Behind me was a closet. Dry flowers were on him. I had an impression like I am in
the grave. As if I am buried alive and I will never escape from this grave. I asked a thousand times: "Dear God, is it everything what you have from me? Am I born to do this job till the end of my life? I am very capable person, so educated… Will I decay here? I wanted to scream so loudly that all cosmos hear me.
I tried to work in a dressmaking shop, but didn't go. The shop was close to my house. Every time when someone came in the shop, I would hide myself behind the curtain. I didn't want that someone recognize me. Once, a neighbor saw me and said to me, "Oh, here you are! You work here now? I am so sorry because you didn't finish your studies. So sad." I felt scorn in her voice. I wanted to hide my self in the ground. I wanted that no one see me anymore. And again, same question came in my mind: ""Dear God, is it everything what you have from me? Am I born to do this job till the end of my life? I am very capable person, so educated… Will I decay here?" I decided to come back on my studies, but I didn't have money. I couldn't stand. I changed job.
After that, I worked as a nanny. They were twins, 16 month old. Their mother graduated law. It was painful for me. I was smarter than her, a better student, but she has a certificate and better paying job. I felt humiliated. I think he scorned me.
I canceled this job. It was shock for my husband. In this period, I started to get cured by homeopathy. I asked my doctor what she thinks about my capability for homeopathy. She was very happy and gave me support. I have gotten support for the first time after many years. I didn't have money, but I had an idea to teach school students in my home. It was only idea, but I had so faith and strength. It happened. I have got few children and I was working with them during the 3 years of my homeopathic studies.
I had no support from my family. My husband had many requests, as never before. My child was angry on me. I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning to study till 9 in the morning. After that, I had to do everything else, home, child, and students. It was a very hard period of my life. I had to find strength in myself. There were no help from others. I was tired, exhausted. I was screaming at the child: "Are you normal? Every normal child makes order in its room and table! Are you handicapped? Why do you disturb me when I do something?
I was sick of everything. I couldn't stand it anymore. All made me sick. I want to throw up.
I always felt power in myself. I practiced tai-chi. I understand that everything around us is energy. My head is full of ideas. I want to work. I want to write. Now I know that I am on good path. I cure the people. Trace will be left behind me. Maybe one day i publish something great. I want to be brave, to stay with the best, to push ahead. I don't want to waste time and energy one common and boring things.

"If somebody told me this happened to them, I absolutely would not believe this could happen in America." That was the reaction of a New Jersey man who found out just how risky it can be to carry cash through Tennessee.
For more than a year, NewsChannel 5 Investigateshas been shining a light on a practice that some call "policing for profit." In this latest case, a Monterey police officer took $22,000 off the driver — even though he had committed no crime.
"You live in the United States, you think you have rights — and apparently you don't," said George Reby.
As a professional insurance adjuster, Reby spends a lot of time traveling from state to state. But it was on a trip to a conference in Nashville last January that he got a real education in Tennessee justice.
"I never had any clue that they thought they could take my money legally," Reby added. "I didn't do anything wrong." Reby was driving down Interstate 40, heading west through Putnam County, when he was stopped for speeding.
A Monterey police officer wanted to know if he was carrying any large amounts of cash.
"I said, 'Around $20,000,'" he recalled. "Then, at the point, he said, 'Do you mind if I search your vehicle?' I said, 'No, I don't mind.' I certainly didn't feel I was doing anything wrong. It was my money."
That's when Officer Larry Bates confiscated the cash based on his suspicion that it was drug money."Why didn't you arrest him?" we asked Bates. "Because he hadn't committed a criminal law," the officer answered.
Bates said the amount of money and the way it was packed gave him reason to be suspicious.
"The safest place to put your money if it's legitimate is in a bank account," he explained. "He stated he had two. I would put it in a bank account. It draws interest and it's safer."
"But it's not illegal to carry cash," we noted. "No, it's not illegal to carry cash," Bates said. "Again, it's what the cash is being used for to facilitate or what it is being utilized for."
NewsChannel 5 Investigates noted, "But you had no proof that money was being used for drug trafficking, correct? No proof?" "And he couldn't prove it was legitimate," Bates insisted.
Bates is part of a system that, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has discovered, gives Tennessee police agencies the incentive to take cash off of out-of-state drivers. If they don't come back to fight for their money, the agency gets to keep it all.
"This is a taking without due process," said Union City attorney John Miles. A former Texas prosecutor and chairman of the Obion County Tea Party, Miles has seen similar cases in his area.
He said that, while police are required to get a judge to sign off on a seizure within five days, state law says that hearing "shall be ex parte" — meaning only the officer's side can be heard.
That's why George Reby was never told that there was a hearing on his case.
"It wouldn't have mattered because the judge would have said, 'This says it shall be ex parte. Sit down and shut up. I'm not to hear from you — by statute," Miles added.
George Reby said that he told Monterey officers that "I had active bids on EBay, that I was trying to buy a vehicle. They just didn't want to hear it."

Experten-Treffen zu den IGV Kernkapazitäten an Häfen (nur EN)
Points of Entry (PoE) play an important role in controlling the international spread of diseases. In order to detect, assess, notify, report, and respond to events of potential international public health concern, States Parties are required to develop and maintain core capacities at the PoE for surveillance and response at the local/community, intermediate and national public health levels (IHR Annex 1A).
The implementation of the IHR at the PoE poses a challenge to States Parties worldwide. WHO/Europe, in compliance with its obligations seeks to assist States Parties in the European Region in their efforts to implement the IHR.
Under the chair of WHO Regional Office for Europe port experts from different parts of the Region, including EU countries, EU candidate countries and non EU countries met in Copenhagen in December 2011.
Scope and Purpose
The general objective of this consultation was to gather experts on IHR core capacity developments at ports to:
- identify and strengthen European expertise in that area;
- discuss practical issues and problems around ship sanitation and IHR core capacities;
- identify gaps and areas of controversy in building IHR core capacities to guide WHO Europe, State Parties and research institutes in their future efforts;
- translate the IHR core capacities at ports into an European context and facilitate a coherent capacity building process;
- establish a European expert platform which can prospectively help to support the capacity building process in the WHO European region.
The Expert Consultation concluded with several areas for follow up and further work:
- strengthen the role of the National IHR Focal Point regarding PoE;
- draft competency guideline to issue Ship Sanitation Certificates (SSC);
- closer collaboration with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO);
- make designation of PoE standardized and transparent;
- identify possibilities of sanctions or penalties;
- WHO certification procedure for ports after June 2012, e.g. for SSC issuance practice.

Jumping in Lake Notasha
This lake looked too inviting to not jump in, and the weather was perfect for it! I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover this place. It's practically in my back door. Sky Lakes Wilderness – I'll be back for sure.
Marble Mountain Wilderness on Labor Day Weekend 2015
Spent the weekend exploring the Marble Mountain Wilderness with my brother. We started at Shackleford Creek trailhead making our way past Campbell Lake to spend the night at Summit Lake. The next day we moved on to Sky High Lakes before settling down at Shadow Lake overlooking them all. Finally, we hiked the 10 mile trek back to Shackleford Creek Trailhead, this time passing by Log Lake. Overall we covered around 22 miles over the weekend.
A Weekend on the Illinois River – June 14, 2015
Waterfalls, swimming holes, fun in the fish ladder, exploring a beautiful tributary and sleeping out in the open air.
Exploring Middle Fork Applegate River
Some fun river exploring on a hot summer day after church. I didn't want to end up "working" so I left my DSLR at home and used my iPhone 6+. For the video I used my GoPro Hero 3 and Feiyu Tech G4 gimbal.
D Crew Adventure on Wrangle Gap
A fun Saturday in the mountains
Big Red Mountain – Dec 13, 2014
I figured I'd take the opportunity this weekend to camp in the snow and take some photos before winter track engulfs my life. I was fortunate to find a spot with virtually no wind and was happy that the clouds cleared out a few times for some great pics.
Big Red Mountain is positioned between Mt. Ashland and Dutchmans Peak, about 20 miles up Wagner Creek Rd.
Grayback Mountain Shelter – Dec 6th, 2014
We called Grayback Mountain Shelter home for the weekend, staying warm by the wood stove in the cozy 10×12 ft cabin, playing cards, eating food and listening to Christmas music (thanks to Goal Zero). In the afternoon we climbed to the top of Grayback Mountain which, sitting at 7000 ft, has an excellent view of the surrounding area – including LTE network!
There appears to be a neat little community around this cabin with people leaving various supplies on each trip for others to use – we found cans of chili, camp chairs, axes, lanterns, utensils and more. As we departed for home there were two local guys prepping their chainsaw to cut a bunch of firewood for the upcoming snowy winter.
This was definitely a weekend to remember. I'd like to get back here when there's a foot or two of snow on the ground!

San Diego The "M.D." in Harry E. Gruber, M.D., should stand for Mach Dollar. In the past, he has amassed dollars at Mach speed as companies he helped found went public and then were sold quickly for a fat premium. But the latest company he founded, Kintera, is stumbling along at anything but Mach speed.
Kintera's mission is to provide software that permits nonprofit institutions to use the Internet, particularly in fund-raising.
The ill winds (Katrina, Wilma, etc.) should blow Kintera some good. They have in one sense: revenues are up stoutly. But costs are up even more. The company has never made money since launching operations in 2000, and losses are getting worse, despite the flood of charitable donations in response to the worldwide natural disasters.
The company recently admitted that questionable accounting was prettying up its bottom line. It had to restate its losses downward.
After going public in late 2003, Kintera made eight acquisitions. That's Mach speed -- the corporate equivalent of a category four hurricane. The company admits that integrating these new companies could be a problem.
And the jury is still out on Kintera's business model: the Internet is not used significantly to raise charitable donations, and there is a possibility it won't be.
The company went public December 19, 2003, at $7. That day, the stock shot up almost 50 percent to $10.30. By mid-April of 2004, it was above $17. But it was all gas. Now the stock is around $2.55. On November 9, the company comes out with its next quarterly earnings statement. A disappointment will probably bring more selling.
When Kintera went public less than two years ago, the cumulative deficit was $31 million. Now it's almost $75 million. For the six months ended June 30, the company lost $21.8 million compared to a loss of $8.9 million for the same period a year earlier. Operating expenses more than doubled in both the quarter and the six months. Because of disaster-related business, revenues were up 120 percent over six months. But the cost of achieving those revenues was up 187 percent.
On August 11, to no one's surprise, the company announced it was laying off 10 percent of its workforce to get those costs under control. It adjusted its future sights downward. It had earlier said it would become profitable in the current year's second half. It delayed that expectation until early 2006.
On August 15, Kintera announced that it had made accounting errors. It had capitalized costs that should have been considered operating expenses. It's the old trick of classifying a cost as a long-term investment item instead of charging it to current operations. That was the sleight of hand WorldCom was performing. For Kintera, it was a big write-down: the company restated its first-quarter loss from $10 million to $11.7 million.
After the mea culpa, a shareholder sued, charging certain officers and directors with breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. Kintera says the suit is without merit.
In its most recent quarterly report, the company lamented, "We will need to increase revenue and reduce operating expenses to achieve profitability, and we may not be able to do so."
In the quarterly report, Kintera listed the eight acquisitions it made last year and this year and confessed, "We cannot assure you we will succeed in completing integration efforts on a timely basis, or at all."
"The company has not found a way to make money," says Bud Leedom, publisher of California Stock Report. Intense price competition may be a factor. "They don't disclose what pricing is. These guys are fighting to win the business and not watching the bottom line." Leedom wonders if the business plan will be successful: "There is a question if online charitable giving is a viable model. A small amount of charitable giving is over the Internet. The bulk of donations are made by large organizations or rich individuals; the Internet may not be a medium for these types of givers."
There are tough competitors: eTapestry, B2P Commerce, MicroEdge, and Convio, among others. Some big fellas are in: Microsoft, PeopleSoft, Intuit, and Sage. But the market would appear big enough for all, and then some: worldwide giving is $600 billion and growing at 7.8 percent a year.
The leading company is South Carolina's Blackbaud, which provides both software and other services to charitable organizations. The company is profitable. "We love this software firm," gushes research firm Morningstar, Inc., lauding Blackbaud's "fantastic business." Standard & Poor's gives it an investability rating of 81 out of 100 -- very good.
John Moores's JMI Equity owns 3.47 percent of the stock; a former JMI employee is Blackbaud's chief executive. San Francisco's Hellman & Friedman owns 37.7 percent. The firm's chairman, Warren Hellman, is father-in-law of Robert C. Dynes, former chancellor of University of California, San Diego, onetime backer of Moores's ballpark hustle, and now president of the University of California system.
Gruber is a former geneticist and rheumatologist at UC San Diego. He left in 1986 to cofound biotech Gensia Pharmaceuticals. He served as its chief scientist and was instrumental in the founding of two related biotechs, Aramed and Viagene, which were sold for good prices.
Gensia stock crashed in the early 1990s as its leading drug candidate failed. The beleaguered company was sold; subsequently, so was the company that bought it. In an interview last year with the Chronicle of Philanthropy, Gruber said he had been fired by David Hale, chief executive of Gensia. That's no disgrace: after the Gensia debacle, Hale went on to Women First HealthCare, which went bankrupt, and now CancerVax, which last month plunged 44.5 percent in one day after poor trial data forced it to abandon research on its leading drug candidate. CancerVax slashed employment by more than half.
After his gains from the buyouts, Gruber was worth $50 million, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy story. Then Gruber rode the late-1990s bubble to riches. Fasten your seat belt. He formed Intervu, a company specializing in audio-video delivery for the Internet, in the mid-1990s. He took it public in mid-1998, and by early 2000 its stock was selling for $173.63. In February of 2000, just one month before the bubble burst, he announced it would be sold to Massachusetts-based Akamai Technologies for $2.8 billion in stock. At the time of the announcement, Akamai was selling for $228.63 (having dropped from $345.50 in early January). On April 20, when the merger was consummated, Akamai stock was down to $86.94. It ended the year at $21.06 and in 2002 was as low as 56 cents.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy story says Gruber netted $250 million on the deal. But much would depend on how soon he was able to dump the plummeting Akamai stock that he had received, and at what prices. However, neither Kintera nor Gruber will respond to questions.
Don't weep for Gruber: Kintera insiders got their shares for 77 cents apiece. So the stock can sink a long way before the doctor is ailing.

Chris Martin has been accused of being a high school spoilsport after he turned down an offer for Coldplayâs music to feature on hit TV show Glee.
Despite trendsetters Madonna and Lady Gaga signing up to music weeks at the Glee club, 33-year-old Martin apparently thinks his band is just too cool for school.
Show creator Ryan Murphy revealed the knockback as he lifted the lid on snaring the two US stars.
For Lady G, Murphy revealed: âWeâre doing an episode thatâs a tribute to theatricality. We reached out to Lady Gaga and she said, âYes, Iâd love to be a part of itââ.â
And he says friend Madge was even easier to tie down. âIâve worked with Madonna before. I admire her greatly and Iâm friends with her a little bit socially. I called her up and wrote her a letter and said we want to write up a tribute to you and she said yes and she cooperated in every way possible. We do ten songs altogether. Jane [Lynch] is going to do Vogue,â Murphy explained.

By Garrick Brown, Vice President of Retail Research, Americas
First off, my apologies, the Newsline is usually a weekly compendium of the nation's top retail stories as they pertain to commercial real estate… but for the last few weeks we have been on an every other week release schedule. That's simply because it's Spring Event Season. I've been racking up the frequent flier miles and been hitting a lot of events lately.
Two weeks ago I was at ICSC Monterey, last week I was at the ICSC Mid-Atlantic Idea Exchange in the DC suburbs and in between I had the privilege of speaking at the California Bankers Association annual meeting in Palm Desert, California and in being able to speak at a few private client events on the state of retail commercial real estate along the way. I basically just got home after a two-week stretch and am hard at work creating a whole bunch of new reports and presentations looking at the marketplace.
All that being said, here is what I found most interesting… at both the ICSC Monterey and Mid-Atlantic events, attendance was up over last year and most of our brokers reported more client meets than in the past few years… but that's not to say that the latest round of retail closures doesn't have more than just a few market players and market watchers concerned. From a deal perspective, I can't see I saw much of a difference over the past couple of years at either of these events… it's all about food and services for the most part, but both meetings seemed to have a few new players looking for space. Fast casual remains white hot (though I am increasingly having concerns in many markets about saturation and sustainable growth levels). But grocery players are out there… even ones that a lot of us didn't expect to be in the market this year. Safeway, for example, says they want to open 25 new stores nationally this year. What's probably more interesting than that tidbit is the fact that the old rule book as for what they were looking for in terms of site selection is pretty much out the window. They'll consider a wide variety of size configurations for both urban and suburban space. And there are plenty of other grocery guys on the make from Aldi and Lidl to Fresh Market and beyond…
Now, keep in mind that both of these events tend to be suburban in focus… but the reality is that when it comes to urban retail we are still seeing the same growth patterns in terms of luxury growth (though some of the American players are slowing while many of the global brands are starting to step things up) and hot new innovative concepts (whether clicks to bricks newbies or millennial-focused start-ups) are heading towards the nation's hipster havens.
Regardless, because I have been on the road, we are rolling with ten featured articles this week. But one of the most important pieces of news that I have come across in the past week is actually about a month old and comes from the Asbury Park Press in New Jersey. I apologize that it slipped through the cracks, but I find the article ROAD SAGE: Why Aren't Teens Getting Driver's Licenses to be fascinating on a couple of levels. Primarily because there have not been a lot of studies yet on Generation Z consumers. Who is Gen Z? It's that group of 20 or under youths that is coming up behind those pesky millennials. And one of the great questions facing all of us when we look at the trend of urbanism that millennials have embraced is whether or not Gen Z is going to continue on the same path. The fact that this generation is putting off getting driver's licenses would lend itself to supporting that the idea that even as older millennials increasingly embrace the suburbs, that there very well may be an entirely new generation rolling into the nation's cities to take their place. At least, that is the theory.
This comes with some other big news this past week. National Real Estate Investor published a piece on millennials staying put in cities… however, I have to say that I certainly have never said that the migration of aging millennials to the suburbs would be an overnight phenomenon. Anyone looking for a midnight move from the skinny jean generation is going to be sorely disappointed. But one cannot look at the rising cost of living in urban areas and assume that family-minded millennials aren't going to be squeezed by hefty rents and the drive to want to own their own homes.
Which brings me to another big story that might have gone under the radar for many… last week Google asked transportation officials for more legal clearances for the eventual launch of autonomous cars. Now we track active manufacturing requirements in the Bay Area and elsewhere and I have yet to see any major ones to hit the market that even theoretically could be traced back to Google. However, GM is spending over $1 billion on a driverless car startup that's been testing vehicles on the streets of San Francisco. Is there a partnership in the making here? Who knows… but one thing I do know is that driverless cars are coming… What does this have to do with retail, you may ask? I would have to answer that the answer to that question will be more than self-evident come five to ten years down the road when the autonomous car starts to impact city planning in ways that we cannot even imagine.
This week's news was certainly filled with garden variety closure information (Men's Wearhouse and affiliated brands closing 50 stores, for example). It was also filled with more M&A activity as we had forecast (Fresh Market being bought for nearly $1.4B). And it was also filled with news of more growth outside of those categories that are e-commerce right-sizing (RBC's Chain Store Growth Report showing expansion, not contraction). But in the lesser read headlines, this week's news was all about future disruptors. And perhaps the biggest news there was news of Amazon leasing 20 cargo jets for their own air cargo network. Is Amazon looking to compete with UPS? Will we eventually see major retailers utilizing Amazon (!?) for their own e-commerce fulfillment network? We have some answers… stay tuned. Over the next few weeks we have a couple of major, groundbreaking publications on the next wave of E-Commerce, E-Commerce 2.0 that will be coming out and that will be addressing topics like this, final mile delivery, e-groceries and everything you need to know from both the distribution and bricks and mortar retail sides of the equations. I'll keep you posted! In the meantime, thanks and have a great week!

- Posted On:June 15, 2013Inspiration for art can come from any number of places: from the written word, from an experience that touched one deeply, from the natural world, from an urban setting, from one's own imagination and of course, from the works of other artists - be they painters, sculptors, writers, musicians, photographers, textile artists, etc. Personally, I derive much of my inspiration from the natural world. 'Mother Nature' is the ultimate creator and offers me continued and limitless opportunities to see beauty throughout its kingdom. Over the years, I have also been inspired by artists from all walks of life. It's interesting to consider how each artist can touch you so deeply in such different ways; sometimes it's the way the artist uses a particular palette of subtle colours, sometimes it's the way an artist uses space or how boldly he positions his main subject in the artwork. A wide range of artists have left their mark on my own work, including the likes of Albrecht Dürer, Emily Carr, Tom Thompson, Lawren Harris, A.Y Jackson, J.E.H. MacDonald, Robert Bateman, Toni Onley, Andrew Wyeth, Ian Tamblyn, Brett Weston, Freeman Patterson, Ernst Haas, Franco Fontana as well as a host of contemporary photographers, too many to mention. Each has influenced me in some significant way on how I approach or produce my own art.Posted In:Inspiration
- Posted On:June 1, 2013It's an honour indeed to have one's artwork become the inspiration for another artist's art. Here is what Brenda had to say.
'Mirrored Maze'
Visually captivating, 'Mirrored Maze' was inspired by a photograph from fine art photographer Mike Grandmaison that the artist came across while surfing the internet. The painting depicts a resplendent display of colourful fall foliage. Radiant reflections dance across the surface of the water, giving the impression of a mirrored maze; tangled branches, analogous shades of autumn, and crystal blue water. The image immediately stirred an artistic response within, appealing for a creative expression using paints.Posted In:Inspiration
