A 6-year-old dog named Mr. Buddy Walker doesn't realize he's a canine ambassador at Westmoreland @rt 30 in Unity, the temporary location of the Westmoreland Museum of American Art during its $20 million renovation.His owner, Doug Evans, the museum's collections manager, has been taking Buddy to work daily since 2013. The miniature pinscher-Jack Russell terrier mix attends staff meetings, people-watches from a sunlit window in the gift shop, and occasionally wanders freely through the art gallery to visitors' delight.Buddy was allowed to come to work with his owner because the museum's temporary location made it impossible for Mr. Evans to continue to walk home during lunch breaks to check on the dog, and soon three more staffers in similar situations brought in their dogs, said Judith O'Toole. She is the museum's director and CEO whose position was recently renamed The Richard M. Scaife Director/ CEO to honor Mr. Scaife's contributions to the museum.Ms. O'Toole believes the pooches' presence indicates to visitors that the museum "is serious about being more welcoming and open to new ideas," especially while in the home stretch of its two-year overhaul, she said."We want to change the atmosphere of what it's like to visit a museum, to try to get rid of the stuffiness, whispering and tip-toeing around — and the dogs just really say it," she said.On Monday, Westmoreland @rt 30 will permanently close to the public so that staff can start the move back to the museum's renovated location at 221 N. Main St. in Greensburg.The move will occur in stages over the next three months, Ms. O'Toole said."We couldn't ensure a very good public experience during that time, so we thought rather than disappoint people, we'd just 'go dark' until we get settled,'' she said.Before the temporary location closes, the gift shop at Westmoreland @rt 30, 4764 State Route 30, is holding a sale 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Sunday. All products are American-made, including works by regional jewelers, woodworkers and ceramicists.The overhauled museum will be nothing short of breathtaking, Ms. O'Toole said.A two-day reopening celebration is planned for Oct. 24-25 at the museum. The event, called "The Sky's the Limit," will include cocktails from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and dancing from 7:30 to 11 p.m. Oct. 24. For tickets and details: 724-837-1500 or www.wmuseumaa.org. A free community day is set from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 25.The renovation and expansion is part of a five-year, $38 million capital and endowment campaign that began in 2011, Ms. O'Toole said. The four-story building was completely renovated and a 13,500-square-foot East Wing was added."This is the largest undertaking of the museum ever," she said.The museum, which opened in 1959, underwent partial renovations in 1968 and 1999."What drove the current campaign was the need for more space and a strong desire to transform the building to be more transparent, inviting and look like a museum rather than a government building," Ms. O'Toole said.At the end of this month, crews will start moving the more than 3,500 works of art into the renovated second-floor galleries and fine arts storage area, she said. The temporary location should be empty shortly after all staff move into the West Wing in mid-August.Much of the exterior work on the building is not finished, and site development and landscaping will be completed closer to the reopening date. Work on the new East Wing is still underway.Smoking no longer will be permitted on museum grounds because the East Wing will be a LEED-certified gold building.Buddy and his fellow canine ambassadors will be allowed in the renovated museum, but the dogs will be confined to staff quarters with occasional appearances in visitor areas. The museum does not permit visitors to bring pets.The dogs contribute to reducing employee stress, Ms. O'Toole said."Buddy loves people," Mr. Evans said. "He loves it when school children tour, and special needs visitors just light up when he greets them."Yearly, the museum draws nearly 25,000 visitors. The hope is to increase those numbers by reopening with significant new collections, including those with works dated after 1950, Ms. O'Toole said.New exhibits will include a regional, 200-piece fraktur — a form of folk art — collection from David Brocklebank of Ligonier and his late wife, Joy.Kathy Samudovsky, freelance writer: email@example.com.

I watched this movie last week and it was a pretty funny one. You see some stars in MST3K movies, but how about Beau Bridges and Ron Howard in the same movie? You get that in this one.
Here's a collection of bits with Mike and the bots making fun of Tommy Kirk's tiny pants.

Today was the last day of summer. Summer vacation that is. School has never jived too well with me. A new bag full of plastic school supplies, the smell of rubber through the hallways from the recently-bought sneakers, the unintended eavesdropping of everyone's summer mishaps and adventures, all of which are over-exaggerated none the less- its all never been a favorite of mine.
I'm not trying to make myself seem like the anti-everything kid. In fact, there is a little excitement brewing inside, the possibilities of change, something new, perhaps, that is perhaps, exciting. It's just that after about the third huge assignment and everyone's stories get told the umpteenth time, it all becomes the same, the same as last year and the year before that, and the year before that, and everyone dreads everything. So, yes, there's some excitement of what could become of this year gurgling inside, and rather than thinking of tomorrow as the typical 'first day of school!' and rather think of it as another day, another day that could get better, may get worse, but in the end is part of my life, not school, but my life.
I love learning. Learning, exploring, and I'm sure any huge assignment I'll be getting this year, I'll probably hammer out, just because I love doing new things, creating new things, discovering new things. It's just the social imperfections that make school a little…let's just say difficult for a kid like me. High school is a small component of my life, and yes I'm making the best of it, so to me I don't section it off as 'high school,' rather a snippet of my life. An interesting sippet, that is.
So today, this Labor Day, I've occupied my day with doing things I typically do when…well, I'm avoiding an upcoming task. An upcoming task that, to be honest, I fear the outcome of. You know by now what I'm talking about. I'm just afraid it could turn out as bad as the past years. It could turn out better, worse, or some adjective far beyond my thoughts, but because I do not know, and it takes up the next nine months of my life, I have to admit, I'm a little fearful. Anyways, you can probably guess what I was doing to occupy my day.
I cooked, ate, cooked some more, cleaned out the whole fridge, captured some amazing photographs of everything I cooked, cleaned, and ate/drank, cooked some more, drank a lot of tea, coffee, and cucumber water, ooh and I ate some more. It was quite a day. Not to mention it was just me and the dog and I had my radio singing the sweet words of perfection that put me in my realm of solitude.
Now, I'm writing, my other life-saving activity. Not a bad day, not to mention I have lots of new recipes to share. Lots of reipes that I hope will satisfy your need to fill any void in your life, or just occupy any upcoming fears, so you can be brought to a place of peace and tranquility, with a hopeful and happy outlook on what is to come. Everything I cooked up is both wholesome and beautiful, only contributing to a more beautiful and peaceful you.
Here's to a hopeful outlook on the future and a start, wait, no, new day to add to this book of mine called Life.
And here's one bright recipe to jump start your adventure.
Fresh Scented Watermelon & Yogurt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
juice of 1/4-1/2 small lime
approximately 12 mint leaves to taste
1 cup or more of diced watermelon
sprinkle of pistachios
Mix the lime juice into the yogurt. Dice up about 10 mint leaves. Fine. Combine them into the yogurt.
Dice up the watermelon into cubes the size of your liking.
Dollop the yogurt onto a small plate, forming a nice round puddle. Add the watermelon cubes into a mound atop the yogurt pond. Sprinkle the pistachios down the mound, allowing them to rest in the crevices of the melon. Dice or chop the leftover mint and garnish your mountain of new beginnings.
Enjoy. And embrace what could begin.
P.S. Sorry for the unfortunate blurry images at the beginning. I'm working on a new way of uploading images, as it can be quite difficult to arrange them nicely when uploading. Stay tuned!

The PC industry's glory days, when people snapped up new computers powered by steadily faster chips, are over. But Intel thinks its newest PC processor will get some hearts racing in a few months.
Also Read : MacBook Pro could get first major upgrade in years
At its Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco on Tuesday, Intel Chief Executive Brian Krzanich showed PCs powered by a seventh-generation Core processor in PCs handling some demanding chores — editing high-resolution 4K GoPro video and playing a hot new first-person shooter game, Overwatch.
It's "the highest performance CPU Intel has ever built. It'll make rich experiences available to everyone," Krzanich said. "We're shipping seventh-generation Core already to our PC partners and will launch devices to consumers this fall."
Also Read : Artisto app does to videos what Prisma does to photos
The seventh-generation Core processor, code-named Kaby Lake, is the first PC chip to emerge since Intel slowed its "tick-tock" pace of processor development. It previously introduced new chip designs and new manufacturing technology in alternating years, but Kaby Lake just refines an existing design on an existing manufacturing process.
The slower cadence isn't the only trouble for Intel. The steady improvement in processor clock speeds has largely stalled, PC sales are shrinking and consumers have flocked to smartphones powered by other companies' chips. But Krzanich is optimistic about Moore's Law, the observation named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore that the number of electronic components on a chip doubles every two years.
"Moore's Law is far from dead," Krzanich said.

Many individuals experience varying levels of danger while at work on a daily basis. From airline pilots to race car drivers, sometimes a certain level of exposure to risk is to be expected. Due to work conditions and heavy machinery, Tennessee construction workers take their health -- and sometimes, their lives -- in their hands every day. However, when they are hurt at work, they are legally entitled to file a workers' compensation claim.
A construction accident occurred recently in Chattanooga that injured one worker. The accident occurred on a recent Wednesday morning in May. The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration Department (TOSHA) is currently investigating the accident.
A worker who was aiding in a road-widening project, was reportedly injured at the construction site that morning, according to a Tennessee DOT spokeswoman. The man suffered serious injuries when one of his legs was hurt by a track hoe, a spokesman for the Chattanooga Fire Department said. The worker was transported to a local medical center, where his current condition is unknown.
A construction accident can leave an employee injured and unable to continue with his or her job. The victim deserves to be compensated for the full extent of all financial losses, including missed work, medical bills and rehabilitation needs. As do all other Tennessee workers, construction workers who are hurt at work deserve a complete financial and physical recovery. Many victims choose to consult experienced workers' compensation attorneys to assist them in submitting their claims and pursuing recovery of the maximum available benefits.

Dell Vostro Power Cables and laptop chargers – Original and in UK stock
Very few manufacturers have released the sheer variety of laptops that Dell have released. After starting out life as a small Texan company making bespoke computer towers, the company headed by Michael Dell has become the second largest maker of laptops in the world. The Dell Vostro is one of the latest ranges of their laptops, and as such the demand for the Dell Vostro Chargers range has been steadily growing.
To be honest Dell Vostro laptop cables are no different to other types of Dell battery chargers, since Dell are renowned for using the same types of laptop ac adapters across the entire range of their laptops. However, following much research Laptop Power UK can supply all types of Dell Vostro adaptors which will all be exactly the same as you would be able to buy direct from Dell themselves.
Extensive Range of Dell Vostro Power Supplies
In days gone by, Dell's laptops have sometimes been labelled as being ugly, conformist laptops. It does seem that the powers at be have taken this to heart and the Dell Vostro range is certainly at the more eye pleasing end of the market. Whilst the Dell power cables are not the most creative design in the world, Laptop Power UK can supply customers with a full and comprehensive range of Dell ac adapters.
We constantly review the pricing of our Dell adaptors to ensure that, pound for pound, we offer the best value on the European market. That doesn't go to say that our Vostro battery chargers are the cheapest on the market, since all our products are OEM originals and come with 12 month's warranty. What we can say though is that an adaptor supplied by us should last longer than your laptop, it will turn up on time, most importantly it will be the correct Vostro charger for your computer.

Lui's Chinese Restaurant
Lui's Chinese Restaurant is a small restaurant located on Edmonds in Burnaby. They have about eight tables (two large tables) and a large mirror on the side of one wall to make the restaurant seem larger than it really is.
I was looking for some take-out food one day and figured it was about time that I try them out.
Unlike some other Chinese restaurants that I've been to recently, I was pleased that Lui's Chicken Corn Soup wasn't watered down and had a decent amount of chicken and corn. I originally thought the Deep Fried Steam Buns would be the sliced variety but these came as small little individual buns. I didn't mind because they were still good. Love how the outside is nice and crispy and the inside is soft and pillowy.
The Pan Fried Beef with Rice Noodles is a dish that I remember from my youth and is very comforting. The waitress recommended that I order their Cod and Tofu Hot Pot and I have to admit that this was really good. Plenty of tender boneless cod pieces.
For our veggie dish, I picked the Spicy Green Beans with Minced Pork – it was fairly standard. On the plus side, I ordered enough that they threw in an order of Chicken Fried Rice for free… Bonus!!
Overall, the dishes I tried were pretty good. Not sure if I would dine-in since this place is so small.

How to speed up getting a card
If you need a credit card as soon as possible:
Find the card you want and apply online
Choose an instant decision credit card
Make sure your credit record looks as attractive to lenders as possible
Complete the application form accurately because mistakes could delay the process
It can be faster if you apply through a credit card company or bank you already have accounts with because they will be able to verify your identity quicker.
Use an eligibility calculator
You can use our eligibility checker, to check which credit card providers are most likely to accept your application.
It uses a "soft search" that does not show up on your credit record, and it will give you a choice of cards from more than one provider.
This will stop you wasting time on credit cards that are not available to you.
How long does it take to apply?
If you apply online, it should only take about ten minutes to complete the application. It may take longer if you apply in a branch or by post and have to fill out a paper application.
How long until your application is accepted?
Some companies can take five to ten days to decide if they will accept your application - especially if you apply by post.
However, most providers can now offer an instant approval, whatever type of credit card you go for.
You will usually know if you have been accepted in one minute after you complete the application.
Their decision may take longer if they need to:
Take a closer look at your credit record
Check fraud databases
Check your identity
When should you apply?
If you need a card for a specific purpose, like paying for a holiday or making a balance transfer, apply for it at least a month before you need it, if possible.
Also consider applying earlier in the week because this can mean your card gets to you much quicker.
Most companies can only process your application on working days (Monday to Friday). Giving them more working days to get it done should mean your card arrives quicker.
When will it arrive?
Most credit cards will arrive within 10 working days after your application is accepted, but this can take longer if the letter is delayed, stolen or lost in the post.
If you have been accepted for a credit card but it has not shown up two weeks later, contact the provider to let them know.
When can you start using your credit card?
You can start spending on your credit card once it arrives in the post, along with your 4-digit PIN number.
Your PIN will be sent in the post separately from your new card. It should arrive a day or two before or after your card.

October is a month dedicated to educating men and women across the country about breast cancer in an effort to find a cure. Numerous celebrities have been diagnosed with this terrible disease, and used their platform to raise money to fund continued research. Here are 10 celebrities who have battled and won their fight against breast cancer:
Sheryl Crow
Crow was diagnosed with breast cancer just after she ended her engagement to Lance Armstrong in 2006. She underwent a lumpectomy and radiation treatment. She maintains a healthy lifestyle in an effort to prevent the cancer from returning. Crow was and remains involved in advocating for education and fundraising to research a cure.
Judy Blume
Famous author of books like "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," Blume was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 at age 74. She had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Blume kept a blog of her experience, and says that her friends got her through her treatment.
Robin Roberts
Diagnosed in 2007 with early stage breast cancer, Roberts underwent chemotherapy and remained cancer free. However, she announced in 2013 that as a result of the cancer treatment, she had been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome. Roberts received further chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant to treat the disease.
Giuliana Rancic
Rancic was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 after having a mammogram while undergoing in vitro fertilization. She had a double lumpectomy and radiation, but later underwent a double mastectomy to ensure the cancer did not spread. Rancic returned to her position on E! and has remained vocal about her experience and overcoming cancer ever since.
Kathy Bates
Beating cancer once is hard enough, but Bates has beat it twice. She beat ovarian cancer in 2003, and announced in 2012 that she had beaten breast cancer. Bates underwent a double mastectomy for treatment and did not require radiation or chemotherapy.
Christina Applegate
Applegate has a history of breast cancer in her family, as her mom battled the disease twice. Doctors discovered Applegate's cancer in one breast in 2008, and she opted for a double mastectomy and a drastic change in lifestyle to increase her chance of survival because of her family history. She now participates in events to raise money for breast cancer education and research and founded Right Action For Women to support women who are at a high risk for the disease.
Hoda Kotb
After announcing her diagnosis in 2007, Kotb allowed cameras to document her treatment to educate women on the importance of early detection and to show the reality of cancer treatment. She underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, and has since remained cancer free.
Cynthia Nixon
Best known for her role as Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City, Nixon was not originally public about her diagnosis. She started to talk about it two years post lumpectomy and radiation in an effort to educate women. Nixon has been an ambassador for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation since 2008, and advocates for continued research and education.
Olivia Newton John
Diagnosed in 1992, John underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy to treat her cancer. She has been public about her diagnosis in an effort to inform women about the importance of early detection and treatment. Unfortunately, in 2017, Olivia Newton John announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer again and that it had spread to her sacrum.
Dame Maggie Smith
Dame Maggie Smith was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 at age 73. However, Smith insisted on going through will her role as Professor Minerva McGonagall in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. She had the cancer removed and underwent chemotherapy and radiation while the movie was filming.
During the month of October, FFL is donating 50% of all proceeds from the #ThinkPink line to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Corrie L
FFL Cabinet Member
Corrie is a Cabinet Member at FFL. She is passionate about coffee, Jesus, and lipstick, and never wears white after Labor Day. If she isn't busy talking about law school or FFL, you can find her studying constitutional law or reviewing a contract. Her plan A is Super Mom turned Supreme Court Justice, and she hopes to one day be just like Sandra Day O"Connor.

Side Table Set, Brass & Glass
Edition limited to 24
Two become one. It was a hit for the Spice Girls, and the inspiration for this glamorous side table set.
Meet the Seymour. Practically speaking, the semi-circular base of the larger table means you can slip the smaller one underneath so it's out of the way when you're not using it.
And aesthetically speaking, their fine brass lines form a kind of Art Deco sculpture. Fancy.
Designs are made with natural materials and are handcrafted one at a time. There may be natural variations in colour and texture that are not product flaws, they make your design truly one-of-a-kind.
These craftsmen operate out of an exceptional workshop in Jaipur. When we first discovered them, we were blown away by their ornate metalwork, intricate carving and lustrous finishes.

I'm getting my first tattoo, finally! I have some spare cash and I've been wanting to do it for a long time and I have a design picked and everything! I'm definitely getting a hummingbird, and I'm trying to decide where to get it still... I'm thinking behind my right ear, on my upper back between my shoulder blades (like lower neck/upper back) or my right shoulder. If anyone has thoughts on that, I'd love to hear them! Also, is it normal to go in with a design but ask for your artist's opinion before deciding on placement?
I'd also love any general advice anyone might have!! ALSO does anyone know any good places to get it done in Philly? Some friends have gone to No Ka Oi Tikki Tattoo on South Street and liked it, so that's my current plan, but I'm flexible!
Guys I'm so excited but also so terrified - help!!

This classic refusal to discuss a contrary opinion, challenging statistics and even proven facts I heard recently on French radio. Nutritionists and people in the food business were discussing Fast Food (what I call, in an attempt at a French pun, "Néfaste Food" ("Bad Food") and the fat, sugar and salt content in hamburgers. The Marketing Director of a well-known chain of hamburger "restaurants" dismissed the inevitable question with the phrase quoted in the title of this post. Though clearly an admission of the validity of the objection being raised about dangers to health, he simply refused to discuss the matter, and launched into statistics establishing the growing popularity of such abominations in France, the home of gallic gastronomy.
The gambit made me think of our Blog and the comments often provoked by my posts (or the too rare posts contributed by readers like Thom). As interesting as they are, I am often frustrated to see how quickly and nonchalantly some commentators avoid the point of the post, preferring not to . . . "get into such polemics", and raise questions – in fact red herrings – on subjects not mentioned in the post.
A recent example was my post "I Went to Mass", the main point of which , obviously, was the pointlessness of prayer and the "hocus-pocus" of the Eucharist (a nasty doggerel send-up of "Hoc est corpus meum"). To date there are twelve comments on the post in question (including two from me). Our most prolific commentator, Thom, deliberately took up Lumen's "vital point" which others had missed, namely the "intangibly profound" atmosphere of a Catholic church, and broadened the subject to take in "the majesty of nature", before switching the discussion to "cosmic evolution". Jim-Lumen took the bait, allowing Thom – who should have been a Jesuit – to slip in an implicit reference to Jim's hobby-horse, the Shroud of Turin ! Predictably, Jim-Lumen gave us more than a page of comment on one of his favorite topics, winding up with "I am glad to have the evidence of emerging scientific investigation to back my beliefs, rather than the embarrassing lack of such evidence for atheism". His last line is a generous generalization : "Scientific evidence is increasingly supporting the Catholic faith".
Jim must be credited with responding directly to Thom's cynicism about "a few bright sparks … who claim to have established the wave-length of ultra-violet radiation emitted by self-resurrecting dead bodies". Jim brings out the big guns about the "over five years of reviewed research, by a National Environmental Institution" which "concluded that no earthly source of UV energy was powerful enough, nor of such short duration, to produce this effect" on the Shroud of Turin. The rest of his long comment begins with the "nonsense" (!) of Stephen Hawking about the law of gravity, and ends up, beyond "the experimental evidence (?) for the Resurrection", with even "more evidence" for Christian faith : "the amazing Tilma of Our Lady of Guadelupe". We have come a long way from the subject of the post, prayer and perseverance in prayer. However, given the volume and vehemence of the commentators' digressional dispute about the Shroud, I feel we should wrap it up here.
In my post written after my visit to Turin, "Wowed by the Shroud ?" (October 26, 2015), I make no mention of the alleged "explanation" of the apparent effect of an extraodinary flash of light which imprinted the outline of Jesus' (resurrected) body on the Shroud. Here I must say that if the so-called scientific evidence is valid, I do have to wonder why the Church still does not declare the Shroud to be a miraculous proof of the Resurrection.
Philip Ball, former editor of the science journal "Nature" has said that "the nature of the image and how it was fixed on the cloth remain deeply puzzling". "Puzzling" means that the question is still open. The Church continues to refuse to give the Shroud its "Nihil Obstat" – its definitive approval. In 2013 Pope Francis contradicted his predecessor John Paul 2 who called the Shroud "a distinguished RELIC linked to the mystery of our redemption", by referring to it – as had Benedict XVI – as only an " 'ICON' of a man scourged and crucified". The Church, wisely, has never officially pronounced on the Shroud's authenticity. Mind you, the Church defined the Assumption of Mary as fact because it had been part of the "sensus fidelium" for centuries, which means that a lot of people over a long period of time believed in Mary's Lift-Off, so it must be true . . . Credulity and wishful thinking know no limits. Can they influence even scientific research ?
A final comment on the Shroud by Jim-Lumen, should he choose to submit one, will be published, as the Last Word on what has always been between us a Dialogue of the Deaf, which it is pointless to continue. In the meantime, it is to be hoped that commentators will comment on the subject of the post, rather than ignore it in favor of a totally different subject.

As Boston Celtics Injury Numbers Climb, Playoff Aspirations Decline
The Boston Celtics used to be the Eastern Conference one seed and the talk of the entire league.
Now, to use an analogy if I may, they are thin branches doing everything in their power not to break in the forceful wind, only tape will ultimately not save them. Dreadfully negative, but as the dog years of the season are transpiring, the Celtics are starting to struggle and the loss of a player of the calibre of Gordon Hayward is starting to show.
The injury bug is starting to devastate the roster of a team that at one point was believed to be the Cleveland Cavaliers' number one challenge in the East.
Jaylen Brown is out indefinitely. It seems that Marcus Smart may be out for a while, if not for the rest of the season with a torn tendon in his right arm. Back-up big Daniel Theis, a high energy big who provided much-need rebounding presence is now out for the season with a torn meniscus.
A team that already lacks size took yet another hit they couldn't afford.
What makes the situation worse is Kyrie Irving is carrying the entire load of a team that really doesn't score a lot and now he is hurting.
If somebody thought mid-season the loss of Hayward could have gone unscathed, those people are now regretting those words. The Celtics miracle run early on is turning into a struggling marathon and while teams like the Toronto Raptors are running away with the one-seed and seem to be firing on all cylinders, the Celtics are simply hoping to stay as healthy as possible.
Sorry Paul Pierce, but are the Boston Celtics really falling apart?

In the Fields of the North / En los campos del norte: Book talk with David Bacon
Lecture | April 24 | 6:30-8 p.m. | 2521 Channing Way (Inst. for Res. on Labor & Employment)
David Bacon, Activist and photographer
Please join us for a conversation with activist and photographer David Bacon to talk about his new book, In the fields of the North / En los compos del norte. In this landmark work of photo-journalism, Bacon documents the experiences of some of the hardest-working and most disenfranchised laborers in the country: the farmworkers who are responsible for making California Americas breadbasket. Combining haunting photographs with the voices of migrant farmworkers, Bacon offers three-dimensional portraits of laborers living under tarps, in trailer camps, and between countries, following jobs that last only for the harvesting season. He uncovers the inherent abuse in the labor contractor work system, and drives home the almost feudal nature of laboring in Americas fields.

The contract has an estimated value of between $25- $30m per year and will be managed by GE Oil & Gas in Dusavik, Stavanger, Norway.
The scope of services to be provided under the agreement relate mainly to the installation and operations phases of StatoilHydro's subsea fields, including: engineering, procurement, the production of equipment and tools, and electro and mechanical workshop services for corrective and planned maintenance in subsea drilling.
Servicing and maintenance of tools and equipment will involve a team of between 100-120 people and will be performed from both the GE Oil & Gas Stavanger facility and across multiple customer sites onshore and on the Norwegian continental shelf.
The agreement will be used to determine the scope of service work to be conducted on future StatoilHydro field developments, as well as the operation of existing fields that currently implement GE Oil & Gas equipment and services. This includes GE Oil & Gas' previous delivery to projects such as Snorre B, Snøhvit, Tordis, Vigdis, Troll Olje and the Troll Pilot subsea processing plant.

Being on duty 24/7 can be one big pressure point for stay at home parents.
A stay-at-home mom had long been the cultural norm until a few decades ago when women had more opportunities in the workplace; since then it's common for both parents to work and now cultural shifts and changes in the workforce have increased the number of stay-at-home dads out there. And if you're a single parent, everything is doubly challenging!
One perk of being a stay-at-home parent is that you get to witness your child's life – pretty much all of it. Every milestone, hockey practice, bake sale and recital. It's a joy to witness how your child develops and it feels lovely when everything is going well – but sometimes, you need space. You don't need us to tell you that parenting is hard work. You don't clock on and off – it's 24/7. And, like any job worth doing, you need a break.
Being able to find a way to balance your life and your child's is very important. One of the problems of a stay-at-home parent is being able to create an identity outside of your child's life. As much as it might feel weird right now, your child will go to school and then be absent on sleepovers or summer camps. Gaining a sense of independence for you both is important and can be achieved despite the pressures of stay at home parenting. It's time to ditch the guilt and find yourself. After all, you have to look after yourself to be able to look after your child properly.
One way is to use your relatives, if it's appropriate. Sending the children off with their grandparents or aunties and uncles is a win-win situation. They get time with each other and you get a much-needed break to decompress or reconnect with your hobbies or even just some peace and quiet to reflect or journal. Want a bit more interaction with grown-ups? If you can, hire a sitter once a week and go to a book club, martial art evening – whatever you're interested in.
Another way to get a break is to find other stay-at-home parents whom you like. Set up a deal where you take turns babysitting or even just team up all together so you all can enjoy a play date – children and adults together.
What do you do to give yourself a break? What's your advice for our other moms and dads out there?

The Year 9 and Year 12 geographers set off for a weekend in Blackpool and Malham on Saturday, 21 April, taking in a whole range of attractions in the seaside town as well as working on their field sketching and data collection skills.
The pupils had a fantastic from the minute they checked in to pitch-side rooms at Blackpool Football Club Hotel.
A guided tour around Blackpool town centre allowed pupils to investigate and understand what the tourist industry can bring to an area. They collected data regarding land use and experienced the delights of the Central Pier first hand.
The next stop was Malham, deep in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, where the group enjoyed hikes in the countryside whilst learning more about limestone pavements and waterfalls.
Thank you to the Geography Department for organising such a successful trip, and to Breanna Hawden and Emily Seymour-Dale for demonstrating terrific leadership skills, and using the experience to work towards their CAS project as part of the IB Diploma.

While skiing may be the main draw card for many visitors to Whistler, there are many other ways to explore Whistler and the surrounding mountains. With tours catered for everyone from complete beginners and families, to sled-necks, Snowmobiling is a fantastic way to get out of the resort and explore what our beautiful valley has to offer! The following companies offer snowmobiling in the Whistler area and more information about their tours can be found by following the links below:
The Adventure Group
Blackcomb Snowmobile
Canadian Wilderness Adventures
Top tips for Snowmobiling:
1- Dress warm!
Traveling at up to 40km/hr in winter can get quite cold once you factor in the windchill, so ensure you dress warm with gloves and good boots
2- Bring a camera
While taking selfies and driving is never advised, guides are typically very accommodating when it comes to taking photos for you, and you'll be kicking yourself when you ride up to a picturesque mountain view and haven't got your camera
3- Listen to your guide
If you have never ridden a snowmobile before, never fear! The guides are very professional and have a ton of experience taking people riding just like you. So relax, have fun, and most importantly listen to your guide!
4- Ride within your limits
Every company in town offer different tours catering to everyone's needs but the best way to ensure you have an amazing experience out there is to pick a tour that suits your ability and experience level. The Adventure Group offer great family friendly and beginner tours, while Canadian offer thrillseekers a tour catered towards experienced sledders.
As always, our friendly Front Desk agents are always happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about snowmobiling or any activity and can make a reservation for you.

Mono Vampire looks to surge forward in the standings, as they face the red hot Westports Malaysia Dragons at home in Stadium 29, Thailand. Tipoff is 630PM local time.
Finally ending their losing skid with a tight win agains the Singapore Slingers, last year's ABL finalists will now look to begin their long climb back to the playoff hunt. It won't be easy, but Mono Vampire definitely has the talent to make it happen.
Returning from his one-game suspension, Mike Singletary made up for lost with an all-around performance in the win against the Slingers. Back at his natural position at the forward slot, Singletary was able to attack from all over the floor, en route to a 23 points and 14 rebounds performance.
The Dragons on the other hand are the hottest team in the ABL right now, the giant slayers that dealt San Miguel Alab Pilipinas its first loss of the season, then adding on by defeating the Wolf Warriors. Can they get their third win in a row?
Finally with a complete lineup once again, Mono Vampire showed that they have the ability to beat any team, as they dealt the Slingers a 81-79 loss on the road. Their shooting finally clicked, and they did a good job of limiting opportunities for their opponents.
There were some shaky moments for the Dragons, but in the end they were able to pull out an 89-83 win behind clutch plays from Eversley and Jonathan Wong. Once again it was their three point shooting that was the difference maker, as the Dragons had 14 triples compared to only 8 for the Wolf Warriors.
After a subpar game against San Miguel Alab Pilipnas, Chris Eversley responded with an excellent game against the Wolf Warriors. With 23 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, Eversley was in takeover mode, and helped stymie the run from the Wolf Warriors.
Mono Vampire Basketball Club is raring to make up for lost time, while the Westports Malaysia Dragons are looking to keep their streak going. Which squad will come up with the victory?

Amherst, Mass. – Maine Maritime Academy women's soccer fell to Amherst College, 5-0 on Saturday afternoon in the first round of the NCAA Division III Tournament. This was the first ever appearance for the Mariners in the tournament.
With the loss the Mariners conclude their season at 13-5 overall, while the Mammoths improve to 15-3-1 overall and extend their winning streak to nine games.
The Mariners held the Mammoths scoreless for the first 32 minutes of action before giving up an unassisted goal to Isabel Stern in the 33rd minute, to give Amherst a 1-0 lead. The Mammoths added on another goal shortly before half as Natalie Landau found Ruby Hastie in the 40th minute to push the lead to 2-0 going into halftime.
Amherst picked up a quick goal early in the second half as Stern scored her second of the game off of another Landau assist to make it 3-0. Hanna Gustafson scored her first of two in the 61st minute, when Landau found her for her third assist of the game, making it 4-0 Mammoths. Gustafson scored minutes later in the 68th minute from Navva Sedigh, extending the lead to 5-0. Maine Maritime would hold Amherst scoreless for the final 22 minutes of the game.
Emily Conway (Charleston, S.C.) picked up eight saves in 78 minutes of action for the Mariners, while Bess MacArthur (Castine, Maine) added two more in 12 minutes of relief. Antonia Tammaro made zero saves in the start and 28 minutes of action for the Mammoths, while Erica Sanders added one saves in 62 minutes of relief and the win.
Lauren Wood (Vallalboro, Maine) and Kelsea Anair (Richmond, Maine) each picked up a shot for the Mariners.

This story is too darn cute for words. But I'll try!
On June 4th, writer Chris Colin shared an adorable Twitter photo of his grandmother Ann Turner Cook. The 91-year old is shown holding a 1-year-old baby, and both have happy smiles on their faces. The reason for their sweet moment? Ann was the original Gerber baby, and the kiddo in her lap is the newest face of the food brand. It's a meeting that's been 90 years in the making!
"My grandmother was the Gerber baby," Colin wrote in his tweet. "It was a funny bit of trivia, never made her rich or got us free strained peas or anything. But last week she got to meet the company's newest spokesbaby, named Lucas. Pretty pretttty cute."
While Colin was not present for the meeting, Ann made sure to gush to him about how memorable the moment was for her.
"My grandmother was extremely delighted to meet Lucas," Chris tells Babble. "In him, she saw a sweet, joyful child, [and] in that respect, a kindred spirit. It was a special day."
In 1928, Cook became the first official Gerber baby after family friend Dorothy Hope Smith sketched an unfinished charcoal portrait of her at 4 months old. Smith submitted her drawing to the company for consideration in a contest they were running to find the face of their brand. Gerber loved Cook's image so much that they trademarked it in 1931.
Baby Lucas was submitted to their latest contest by mom Cortney Warren, who decided to enter him on a whim. After posting a sweet picture of her son on Instagram with the Gerber hashtag, the family learned that their baby was selected out of 140,000 entries!
Not only did Lucas win the coveted spot, but he also made history as the first Gerber baby with Down syndrome.
Seeing his grandmother get to welcome Lucas into the Gerber family was especially moving for Colin.
"I'm 1000% for it," Colin says. "I'm thrilled to see all babies celebrated and loved, and yeah, it doesn't hurt that Lucas is ridiculously adorable."
We couldn't agree more!
While Cook also relied on her cutie pie looks to earn the original title of "Gerber baby," her grandson thinks she has definitely grown into the job. Ever since the company revealed Cook as the face of the brand in 1978, people all over have felt connected to her — and the feeling definitely seems mutual!
"All kinds of folks, from all walks of life, have approached her over the years and spoken of a connection to her," Colin tells Babble. "I think that has really moved her and strengthened her basic love for people. She's always said if you've got to be the face of something, it doesn't get better than being the face of babies."
Cook has also inspired her own grandson in some especially heartwarming ways.
"My grandmother is deeply kind and loving — you can sense that pretty readily," he shares. "I'm happy to say that a bit of her pro-baby outlook has rubbed off on me. I have two kids myself, [and] my daughter was my grandmother's first great grandchild."
Congratulations to these two extraordinary Gerber "babies." Ann Turner Cook and Lucas are giving me all the feels today!

Beyonce Picks Luke James To Open Her European Tour
Beyonce is sticking with tradition for her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour — nothin' but hits! — and accordingly, the first opening act she's selected for the European leg of her tour is a familiar face: Luke James, the New Orleans-based R&B vocalist who previously opened for Beyonce during her Atlantic City shows last summer (and also was featured in her "Run the World (Girls)" video). James is also managed by Bey's creative director, so — y'know — way to keep it in the family.
"Luke James is a gifted singer and songwriter and what he does on stage with his pure falsetto is incredible," Beyonce said in a statement. "I am excited to have him join the tour and to introduce this soulful singer to an audience in Europe that will be discovering a true star."
James, who's working on a pre-album and an official debut via N.A.R.S/Island Def Jam, called it "an unimaginable honor" and "a blessing that I do not take lightly," which feels appropriately reverent.
James' gig on Bey's tour begins April 24 in Paris and continues through May 29 in Stockholm (with the exception of Oslo, where Bey's opening act will be a fjord).

TBILISI, Georgia — "People are surprised that I'm still so active. But I don't consider myself to be elderly," says Jenaro Kristesashvili, age 77, a reproductologist in Tbilisi, Georgia. "I never refuse whenever I'm offered to do something. I'm so active that many young people can't compete with me."
Kristesashvili is a prime example of the phenomenon of "active ageing", or maintaining health and well-being into old age. But improving the quality of life of older persons isn't just about individual attitudes and life philosophies. It also requires improvements to their social, political and economic status within society.
"Active ageing is a policy approach that supports growing older in good health and as a full member of society, while feeling more fulfilled at jobs and in social engagements, more independent in daily life and more engaged as citizens," says Lela Bakradze, Assistant Representative at the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Georgia Country Office.
UNFPA Georgia has been helping the Georgian government establish active-ageing policies, collaborating with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) on guidelines that were incorporated into the State Policy to Address Ageing. The policy was adopted by the Georgian Parliament in May 2016.
"The Georgian State Policy encompasses all main priorities as outlined in the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing to respond to the opportunities and challenges of population ageing in the 21st century and to promote the development of a society for all ages," says UNFPA's Bakradze. She adds that more still needs to be done in terms of enacting pension reforms that equitably benefit women, and in creating opportunities for lifelong learning.
Currently, 14 per cent of Georgia's population is 65 years of age or older, a number that is expected to rise to 20.6 per cent by 2035, according to United Nations Population Division (UNPD) projections. Statistical data also shows that more than 40 per cent of older Georgians are still economically active, especially in rural areas of the country, where most are self-employed, often as subsistence farmers. Such figures show both the opportunity that exists to increase the employability of older workers — such as by offering professional training, lifelong education and adapted working conditions — and the need to improve their financial security through measures such as pension reform and incentives to encourage individual savings.
To successfully tackle the issue of ageing in the 21st century, state policies must be applied at the national, local and community level, and should include measures that improve health and well-being into old age; ensure enabling and supportive physical and psychosocial environments; and change the way society perceives, interacts with and cares for its older citizens. A large body of research has shown that negative attitudes towards old age adversely affect a person's health and hasten the physical process of ageing.
This year's marking of International Day of Older Persons on 1 October is dedicated to enabling and expanding the contributions of older people in their families, communities and societies at large — showing that age isn't something that inevitably comes with hindrances and growing weakness. For active older citizens like these men and women in Georgia, the passage of time instead brings fresh opportunities for developing and discovering new interests, and for observing life.
Jenaro Kristesashvili, age 77
"Nobody was a doctor in my family. I initially wanted to be a musician, but then I thought, it's better to be the best in a specific realm than be an average musician. Thus, I found myself in medicine.
"Reproductology is a complex specialty that includes gynaecology, endocrinology, genetics, immunology and some surgery. I am a professor at the Obstetrics–Gynaecology Department of the Faculty of Medicine at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University and I supervise doctoral students as well. I have also worked as a consultant for UNFPA on adolescent sexual and reproductive health and education.
"I never run out of things to do. I travel frequently and attend various conferences—I'm invited everywhere. The most important thing I say to young people is, 'You must become needed.'
"I'm a positive person. I don't complain. I love my interactions with young people. Being alone is probably really difficult, but I live with my son and daughter-in-law and I work, thus I've never felt alone."

"I don't believe that you receive inspiration from someone or something; if you want to do something, you must work and the inspiration comes on its own. Clearly, this changes with age. A person has more motivation to work when they're younger as the ambition, the desire for recognition and the group of people whose feedback and ideas are important or interesting to you is greater.
"At my age, this group has got smaller because the majority of them have passed away. There are fewer people for whom I would like to strive or do something, therefore, there is less motivation. Yet in some ways, I've done far more in recent years. I've published five books in the past five years — three of them bestsellers.
"After my son Irakli, and then my beloved wife Nana passed away, it was really difficult to survive in solitude. That is why I worked every day; it was an alternative to committing suicide. I wrote music, then I began writing books. After my son died, I also moved to London to become Georgia's ambassador to the United Kingdom. I had to face a new environment, new challenges, new people and important work to do.
"I took in my granddaughter later on, when she turned five. In London, I used to always take her to school and bring her home myself, despite the fact that I could have sent her off with a driver instead. She had been orphaned and I wanted her to feel that she had me besides her as a father figure."

"I've been working at the Tbilisi Botanical Garden since 1956. My department works on rare plants from Georgia and around the Caucasus, researching their ecology and biology. Saving rare and endangered plants from extinction is a worldwide problem. We learn how to cultivate and save a species and then we inform everyone about what we've learned. University and secondary-school students, and foreign guests are all impressed seeing the sort of plants here that are rare even in the wild.
"You have to nurture a plant. The botanical garden is located at 450 meters above sea level, but some of these plants have been taken from alpine zone and may have difficulty adapting to different climate conditions. We must study the ecology of each species, or as they say, 'the plant's language'.
"When a doctor enters a ward, he asks: 'How is my patient today? Has her condition improved or not?' My work is similar: We observe more than 700 plants annually, a majority of which have been entered in the Red Book of rare or endangered species. My everyday task involves the phenology of my plant collection — numbering them, daily observations, watching them all throughout the season, protecting and cultivating them. Has vegetative growth started? Are they blooming? At what stage is the seed-bearing period? Have the seeds ripened?
"This entire cycle of events takes place beginning from early spring and ending in the beginning of winter, with no stop in between. There is a high demand for the collected seeds of the Caucasian and Georgian endemic varieties, which we send to various botanical gardens and scientific institutions worldwide."

"I'm an engineer and chemist by profession. Previously, I taught chemistry at a technical college and worked at a chemistry laboratory. Starting this business in 2008 wasn't easy, but my children and my son-in-law helped me. We wanted to have a family business and at the same time do something different. We studied the market, developed some Italian recipes and then made our first ice cream — a humble assortment in the beginning, now a myriad of colours.
"I did a number of things simultaneously: making the ice cream, delivering products, managing the warehouse, hiring employees. Even now we have to work a lot. I get up early and go to bed late. It's a great relief to have slept for five hours. But I like all of this. I can't imagine how I could stop.
"I once overheard some young people on a bus praising our ice cream shop. It makes me happy to feel like I give other people happiness. If I wasn't in this business, I would probably work with children, perhaps at a boarding school. I want adolescents to have an environment where they have freedom and feel beloved.
"Age offers many positive things, especially in our culture. There are prohibitions and taboos in young age, and boundaries are created for you. When you mature, you become more independent, you are ready to take some bold steps."

Commodities and the Crack-Up Boom
Steve Saville
Commodities, Inflation, and the Coming Crack-Up Boom
Inflation (growth in the supply of money) is by far the most important driver of the current long-term bull market in commodities. Specifically, rapid growth in the GLOBAL supply of money has resulted in the devaluation of currencies relative to commodities. Other asset classes, including equities and real estate, have also benefited from the inflation, but commodities have been the biggest beneficiaries because they commenced the current cycle at very under-valued levels relative to just about everything else. On the other hand, US equities commenced the current cycle at very over-valued levels relative to just about everything else and have therefore benefited from the inflation to a much lesser extent. In general terms, inflation is creating a rolling boom/bust cycle with relative scarcity and valuation determining the asset classes that benefit the most during a particular cycle.
Another important factor has been the failure of bond yields to respond in the usual way to the obvious evidence of currency depreciation. What we've had, in effect, is the combination of persistently high inflation (money-supply growth and the associated fall in the purchasing power of money) and persistently low inflation expectations. In other words, despite the bountiful evidence that most currencies are depreciating at rapid rates, confidence in the currencies and the central banks that sponsor them has stayed at a reasonably high level. This has led to gold, the confidence barometer, putting in a sub-par performance relative to most other metals. It has also set the stage for dramatic out-performance by gold over the coming several years because we can be sure of two things: First, that the inflation will continue (there will be interruptions from time to time, but governments and their central banks have gone so far down the inflation path that turning back is no longer an option); and second, that the inflation will EVENTUALLY cause monetary confidence to collapse. A collapse in monetary confidence resulting from an extended period of high inflation is what Ludwig von Mises referred to as a "crack-up boom".
Inflation affects currency purchasing power in a non-uniform and non-linear manner, resulting, early in the inflation cycle, in the consequences of excessive money-supply growth being evident in only a few sectors of the economy and in the general appearance of purchasing power stability. The widespread belief is thus fostered that a high rate of money-supply growth isn't really a problem in the "modern economy". As described by von Mises (http://www.mises.org/humanaction/chap17sec8.asp):
"This first stage of the inflationary process may last for many years. While it lasts, the prices of many goods and services are not yet adjusted to the altered money relation. There are still people in the country who have not yet become aware of the fact that they are confronted with a price revolution which will finally result in a considerable rise of all prices, although the extent of this rise will not be the same in the various commodities and services. These people still believe that prices one day will drop. Waiting for this day, they restrict their purchases and concomitantly increase their cash holdings. As long as such ideas are still held by public opinion, it is not yet too late for the government to abandon its inflationary policy.
But then finally the masses wake up. They become suddenly aware of the fact that inflation is a deliberate policy and will go on endlessly. A breakdown occurs. The crack-up boom appears. Everybody is anxious to swap his money against "real" goods, no matter whether he needs them or not, no matter how much money he has to pay for them. Within a very short time, within a few weeks or even days, the things which were used as money are no longer used as media of exchange. They become scrap paper. Nobody wants to give away anything against them."
The world appears to be moving inexorably toward a collapse in monetary confidence, or "crack-up boom". However, while we can be reasonably certain about the eventual outcome we cannot be certain about the timing. Our guess is that the collapse won't occur until next decade, but it could begin at any time and with little warning because things tend to go 'haywire' all of a sudden when confidence in a currency reaches the tipping point (the point when the masses finally wake up). In the current environment it is therefore important to maintain a substantial core position in gold-related investments at all times.
Current Market Situation
There are often links between different markets, but these links usually aren't as strong as they've been over the past year. The following chart, for instance, shows that over the past 12 months the CRB Index and the euro have effectively been 'joined at the hip'.
The close relationship between the CRB Index and the euro reflected on the following chart suggests that the next significant downturn in the euro will be accompanied by a significant downturn in commodity prices. Or, putting it another way, when the US$ eventually commences a rally worthy of the name it will likely be accompanied by weakness in commodity prices. This, in turn, means that when the euro embarks on its next downward trend the commodity currencies such as the AUD and the CAD are likely to do the same.
Further to the above and as is currently the case with most markets, the short-term 'key' for the commodity market is the US$. To be more specific, the commodity market is likely to remain buoyant as long as the Dollar Index continues its downward drift; and to sink once the dollar begins to trend upward.
We continue to believe that the US$ is close to a bottom, but there is nothing in the dollar's price action or in the performances of inter-related markets to indicate that a bottom is already in place.

Best little river in New Zealand – Rebecca Fox:
Gradual improvements in water quality in East Otago's Shag River over nearly a decade have earned it the grand prize in the inaugural 2013 New Zealand River Awards.
"The Shag is the best little river in New Zealand," Otago Regional Council chairman Stephen Woodhead, said when he accepted the award at a ceremony in Wellington last night.
He said the award was for the river's community and recognition of the work landowners had done to improve practices on land through which the river flowed. . .
Federated Farmers is thrilled by the recognition Otago farmers received at the first New Zealand River Awards last night, with two rivers as finalists and the Shag River taking the prize for most improved river in New Zealand.
"The Shag River has come a long way from 10 years ago, and it is a credit to those farmers who care for and value their river," says Ian Mackenzie, Federated Farmers water spokesperson.
"Change is hard for everyone, but once you take the time to get everyone on board you can really make a difference. Changing the result of 30 years of degradation is not a quick fix, there is no instant gratification, so that is why 10 years on from the water management plan's implementation you are seeing some positive results. . .
Beetle's prickly appetite could have wider impact– Tony Benny:
Scientists hope a thistle-munching beetle already reducing prickly weed infestations in the south will also lay waste to hard-to-control Californian thistles on North Canterbury hill country farms.
Landcare released European-sourced green thistle beetles – also known as cassida or tortoise beetles – on about 50 farms, mostly in lowland Southland, five years ago.
AgResearch scientists want to find out more about the beetle and see if it can go to work in the hill country of North Canterbury and the North Island.
"We're starting to see the effects of the beetle, and Southland farmers are thinking that it's having quite a good effect on the thistle populations there," said AgResearch scientist Michael Cripps. "Basically, they're seeing observational evidence of a decline in the thistle population." . . .
Pastoral farmers asked to think pig, poultry-style – Tim Fulton:
CANTERBURY farmers affected by Chilean Needle Grass (CNG) have been encouraged by local support for their position but the regional council warns the grass can still take root any time and place.
ECan's latest biosecurity newsletter suggests pastoral farmers take similar precautions to pig and poultry farmers, by controlling movement of people, vehicles and machinery on and off their property
Sheep farmer Owen Gould from Parnassus in the Hurunui district has clarified the extent of CNG on his place, hoping to make other farmers aware of the plant and steps to contain it. . .
Govt help unlikely – Alan Williams:
Three of New Zealand's biggest meat companies took a restructuring proposal to the Government but were told they would need more substantial industry and farmer support before it could help with legislation.
The reaction has negative implications for any plan involving a merger between only two players, the Silver Fern Farms and Alliance Group co-operatives.
In its campaigning to get candidates elected to the boards of the two co-ops, the Meat Industry Excellence (MIE) group has suggested the Government would legislate to provide protection for their 52-54% market share in the early stages of a merged entity. . .
David makes old Goliath steam:
When David Walker first saw the 1901 traction engine at a Marlborough winery it was a hulk.
He described its condition as "rust value only" when he took delivery on April 16 this year.
However, the committed restorer had the rare 10 horsepower steam driven engine up and running, albeit minus its pin-striping, in time for the weekend's Nelson A&P Show.
"It hadn't been steamed up in 62 years," said Mr Walker of his latest prize. To get it operational he had to replace, rebuild or repair nearly every moving part. . .

Pengxin posts operating loss on NZ farmsDecember 1, 2013
Pengxin Group which bought the Crafar farms last year reported an operating loss in their first year.
Pengxin New Zealand Farm Management reported an operating loss of $1 million in the year ended June 30 on revenue of $10.5 million, according to its first annual report to the Overseas Investment Office. The farming operation, managed by state-owned enterprise Landcorp, was hit by the drought within six weeks of Pengxin purchasing the land, sapping milk production and driving up costs to buy additional feed.
"The critical focus for Pengxin and Landcorp was to manage the welfare of all animals on the property, and protect the farming position for the subsequent season," the report said. . .
Will the xenophobes who complain about profits from foreign-owned businesses go overseas be just as concerned that the loss has been sustained by foreigners?

Other Facts
The Oyster mushroom has some amazing properties one of which is that it is a carnivorous mushroom which traps and ingests nematode worms to provide it with nitrogen and other useful chemicals.
The Pleurotus family contain statins which are thought to help reduce cholesterol.
Another is the fact that they have the ability to clean up pollution by hydrocarbons like petrol and oil which is quite incredible.

"I want to get back to my City by the Bay…"
No, I am not referring to the rock group Journey's song "Lights" – I'm talking about Portland, Maine on Casco Bay! Once again, A.W. Hastings University is taking the show on the road this winter for our annual Portland Training Week – March 5th – 8th. For the 10th year in a row, this special training opportunity will be held at the Fireside Inn and Suites directly off of Interstate 95 in Portland. Registration activity has been brisk for our most popular workshops. We hope to see all of our Maine and New Hampshire retailers at this closer-to home location!
The schedule looks like this – we begin the week on Tuesday with Window and Door Performance, followed by Integrity Essentials on Wednesday, Marvin Essentials on Thursday and then we will round out the week with morning and afternoon sessions of Marvin "What's New in 2013" and Integrity "What's New in 2013" on Friday.
Whether a novice to windows and doors, or an experienced fenestration expert – there is something for everyone this year. I am looking forward to seeing our northern colleagues in Portland!

Please bear with me as I attempt to possibly figure this out and assume that if the comments are being left pending it is not out of any malice but because I am a technological troglodyte who has no idea how to do anything.)

Skinless oranges sweetened with dates and jammed turned out delicious. The orange jars clicked and are already resting in cool darkness. Even though no sugar added it's the best sweet-sour deliciousness!
I found the oranges during my lunch break in Turkish / Pakistani shop downstairs – couldn't resist them, and the price – they must have just came from Spain or Portugal to the troll country. So firm and tasty, yummy! It took me 2 days to carry 2 bagpacks home…
|Smoothen the dates: Take seeds out from the dates. Put dates in a big glass jar and pour hot water over them so they smoothen.
|Sterilize the jars: Put a cloth on bottom of a huge pot, then put all your jars in it, pour water over them and cook for 10 minutes while you are proceeding with rest of the recipe. Then turn off the heat and take out the jars on a clean cloth (you can use two wooden spoons to take them out if they're hot or wait some time).
|Clean oranges in a warm water bath with a brush (smell is precious!) and peel the oranges. Then slice them into small chunks.
|Blend the dates: Don't pour water out from the jar with dates and blend them. You can use blender or a fork, or a tool of your choice – it should be easy peasy.
|Juice the lemons: Remember to take the seeds out from the juice.
|Cooking: Pour cut chunks of oranges into the huge pot nr 2 – do not add any water. Turn the heat on (not the highest! it will burn on bottom). Add the dates. Add the lemon juice. Boil on small heat for 30 minutes with cover, simmering from time to time.
|Gel the jam: After 30 minutes increase heat to maximum and now you have to stand over the pot constantly for 15 minutes simmering, so that bottom does not burn and a lot of water evaporates. When you think you have desired consistency you can turn the heat off. If you boil the jam longer and using higher heat it will change color, will become darker – some people do that on purpose.
|Jar the jam: Pour the jam into your jars (best using a funnel) leaving some 1,5-2 cm space under the cap. Make sure there is no jam where the cap should go (clean it with wet cloth if needed). Close the caps without force, gently – they should be closed properly but light. If you close your caps too firmly they might not click.
|Sterilize the jared jams: Now the fun begins. Into the first pot (with the cloth still on bottom) put jars with the same height (or until where the jam has same height) so that they do not touch each other, the walls and the bottom. If the pot is too small, do it in several batches. Pour water until where the jam finishes in the jars. Turn the heat on, boil for 30 minutes.Take out the jars and put in a cool place and enjoy hearing how they "click" one after another :)When all jars cooled down, and you didn't count the clicks, you can check each jar if it "caught" itself by clicking with your nail on top of the cap – if you hear high sound (the cap folds inside the jar) it means there is proper pressure inside and the jar is well closed for winter. If not, then it means it did not caught itself. You can try cooking it again or just eat it within a week.In a properly cooked jam you will see small bubbles. If you don't see them it means the jam inside did not boil in the jars. They can still catch though. If they don't there is a good chance they will go bad.
Was it yummy? 🙂 I am already planning a sweet cream + chocolate + orange mouse dessert in the winter mmmmm.
Burned the bottom?
Do not worry! You can still rescue the jam.
If the bottom burns while you are cooking the jam, you need to take it out from the pot without scratching the bottom, best by pouring everything out, clean the pot thoroughly until it is shiny clean and pouring the oranges back inside.
