******This has taken a lot longer than three days to write but I'm leaving the title there for posterity.... ******for me to decide that I thoroughly loved Yarndale and can't wait to do it again! My anxiousness and stressed-ness over the last few weeks meant that I had a feeling of impending doom throughout the whole weekend and into yesterday. There's lots going off behind the scenes here and I've got very little time to stop and smell the flowers. I did try at Yarndale itself, I'll talk about that later, but I found myself overthinking things there too, as if sitting and looking at trees would magically make everything disappear. Anyway, misery, misery, let's talk about the good stuff. :)
So. It's an early start. My natural state is to turn up to anything juuuuuust before it starts but you can't do that when you're organising stuff, can you? So I woke up when it was still bloody dark. Ugh.
I was at Chris's house, where Toni resides and her nan had come up for the trip, so when we couldn't persuade Chris to take us in the car we hopped in a taxi. There were people there already which is always lovely and more and more people turned up as the minutes wore on. A few coaches popped through, most of them going to seaside destinations and I very nearly jumped on one of them. But then the lovely Mick turned up with the Tiger European bus and it was time. For the most stressful thing in the whole of my year. Getting people on the bus. There are so many people that come, more every year, and some people book online or on the phone or in person, and every year people cancel and rebook and cancel and rebook and stress, stress, stress so I'm always worried that I've overbooked the coach. There was one lady whose name I couldn't find but I remember her booking so I sent her off to sit down and was thinking 'I'll sit in the toilet' or 'I'll give the list to Toni and she can sort it out' haha. But the lady was on there. I needed a really quick fag after that. And we were off!
I think this was actually on the way back actually, haha, but I do love a coach shot.
The journey was uneventful. I helped the driver as much as I could by telling him that at some point we would reach a road surounded by fields. Really helpful I'm sure you'll agree. Apart from that we saw cows on a hill and discussed deep philosophical things.
We got there roughly on time, the tickets had been printed out previously and I'd passed them through the coach on the way there and so once everybody was off and in I wandered over to the loo and had a sit down and a fag. The loos always make me smile:
Anyway, I finally made it in and I was absolutely overwhelmed and trying to work out where to go first when I got accosted by knitter after lovely knitter after crocheter after crocheter. I don't know where everybody knew me from but I suspect it was the vlogs... Photos were taken and people touched me and 40 minutes later I managed to steal away. The first place I went to was Jem Weston's stall. I am DEAD proud that she had a stall there and even more proud that the three or four times I found myself there there was no room for me! :) I bought myself a Dice Cowl kit (she wrote about it here) because I just couldn't resist the bag which has this picture on the front:
Saw some amazing sights. Look here:
And actually didn't get all the way through. I saw a lovely little copse-y type thing and sat down and ate some cake. I also answered some customer enquiries on the facebook page and listened to a podcast or two. It was lovely. And then I got a text from Verity wanted to know where I was so I decided that I had to go and rejoin society. Haha.
I found Verity and her buddies easily on the front lawn and then just behind them were some of my coach people so I sat with them for a while and had a coffee and a chat with Sarah who moved awaaaaaaaaaay so I don't get to see her enough. And then it was time to head inside. This was serious business, you can tell by the selfie we took:
The first stall that we got to, Woosheeps, honestly took my breath away. This is the first brown thing that has ever made me gasp. How beautiful is that!? Elizabeth would be proud.
The man that we spoke to, and I got his name but I forgot it, was lovely too. Really good salesman so he got £60 out of us in like two minutes ha. I bought the same set that the brown shawl is made in but in yellow-y greens:
(And this is where the blog writing ended. But since then I've cast on the thing that I'm going to do with it so maybe it's a good thing. It's the Fox Paws by Xandy Peters and it is like feather and fan on crack. Seriously. It's the first pattern in a very long time where I've gone so wrong I can't work out how to fix it, it needed ripping. And because of that it's the first pattern ever that I've used a lifeline. Haha. But it will not get the better of me. It'll just have to wait a little longer until I finish some other projects so I can deal with it properly. Anyway, a photo:
How gorge is that!? Anyway, back on with the scheduled Yarndale post....)
Ahhhhhh, this is so hard now it's been weeks! I knew I shouldn't have left it weeks. Hmmmm. Let me find the photos, I think I'll stop trying to do this on a timeline but rather just exciting bits.
We saw this beautiful blanket made in Navia. Ahhhhhhh. And I got a good chat with the lady who didn't recognise me, but it's okay because I didn't recognise her either.

We saw this beautiful blanket made in Navia. Ahhhhhhh. And I got a good chat with the lady who didn't recognise me, but it's okay because I didn't recognise her either.
Ahhhhh. I remember another bit! I found Lucy the Tudor again! This is deffo my favourite stall. They dress as Tudors and sell little wooden and metal bits that have been worked like they are Tudors. I have a real soft spot for the Tudors, one of my favourite historical periods (not as much as the Georgians though) and it's just lovely to see. Sadly I didn't get to meet her this time, just her husband who wasn't in a chatting mood, but I bought a beautiful wooden spindle which I've used a fair bit since. Not got anywhere with it though. Didn't feel right asking for a photo from him so you'll have to put up with my description. It's never a fancy stall, I think that's why I like it. No banner, no colours really just old fashioned, hand carved stuff laid out sparsely. It's such a relief from the other stalls around it all crammed from floor to nearly ceiling full of rainbow-y colour (not that I mind that, obvs) but it's like a rest for the eyes and it's never that busy because everybody's so interested in all the colourful peacock stuff. I'm sure they do well though because they've been for at least two years running. Lovely Lucy the Tudor.
Looking at these photos, and thinking about what a breath of fresh air Lucy the Tudor was, do you think I'm getting boring in my old age? Do you think it's to do with the stupid hair? I've got all the colours on my head so I don't need them in my knitting? Hmmmmmm.
Anyway, because I'd bought a spindle, I quickly went and bought some fibre. Just a few merino tops in a rainbow of colours. I plan to spin them up and ply half the red with red, then half the red with orange, orange with orange and orange with yellow, yellow with yellow and so on and so forth. To make? No idea. It's superwash so it could be more or less anything. I think I had a big and simple shawl in mind. It'll never get there though, I never get to the end of spinning and knitting/crochet projects. Fact.
And then I went back to Jem Weston's stand, managed to capture Steph and we went for a bacon sandwich but when we got there I realised that I needed pork and lots of it. I had a bacon and sausage sandwich and then a bloody pork and cranberry miniature pie thing. OMG! So good! Now Chris has turned vegetarian I'm just like 'oh god, give me meat'. Before that I could take it or leave it but now I don't have it for every meal or most meals, I need it all the time. Ahhhhhh. Meat. We took it outside and sat looking at the carpark and beyond that the Dales just chatting. Lovely.
This isn't the bit we were looking at, but it is the Yarndale carpark so you get the idea...
And then my lovely customers turned up and we chatted and showed eachother our buys. And this is where I saw the customer with her beautiful woven basket. And all the stuff I missed but there wasn't enough time to go back. I did promise myself that I wouldn't rush about trying to see everything this year, and I'm glad I didn't. Yarndale is such an overwhelming, exciting, mass of creativity that it can get all on top of me but I think the key is to relax and not worry about seeing it all. So, we're deffo going again next year (maybe next year we'll have a bigger bus!) despite the paddies and breakdowns that this year caused. Just don't Chris, I think he'd kill me.
Oooooh, I forgot, before we got on the coach there was just enough time for a photo shoot with the lovely Steph and Gen. We bought the yarn for and started making the same cardigan on Love Your Local Yarn Shop day this year saying that we'd wear them at Yarndale. I got mine done agggggges ago and I'd been wearing it quite a bit. Steph finished hers a few weeks ago and Gen's was touch and go because she spend so bloody long sewing up but the buttons got on the week before we went. The photos weren't great, we were too giddy, but this is deffo the best one:
It's pattern number 4125 from King Cole (of course, it's the name that clinches it as King Cole isn't it?) and we all did it in the Authentic DK - Indigo, Red Denim and Black Denim from the left. I love this photo! We took it here because it said prime cattle behind, which of course, we are, but because we're such good models all you're looking at is us ain't it? :)
I am SO pleased that this is done! Sorry it couldn't be earlier, I did try but there is so much that going on! Anyway, it's done now, woohoo, and now it opens up some space to get other stuff done including blogs and getting stuff on the internet and all sorts of other things! Beautiful!
Love Eleanor. xxxxxxxxxx

Hand raising lambs is a joyous and time-consuming experience - akin to looking after children! It is very important to remember that you are responsible for all aspects of the animal's life from health and nutrition to learning normal behaviours, and it is a commitment which should not be undertaken lightly.
Lambs require colostrum within the first 24 hours of birth. It aids with immunity, has a laxative effect, and is a concentrated source of nutrients and energy. In an emergency if ewe or cow colostrum is unavailable, Wombaroo Impact, a colostrum supplement can be used (note it does not contain any immune benefits).
Following intake of colostrum, lambs should be raised on a commercial milk supplement. There are many good quality milk powders available which are specifically formulated to meet the lambs' nutritional requirements.
Cows' milk alone is not a suitable substitute for lambs as the total solids, fat and protein content are too low. It should only ever be offered in an emergency situation and use full cream powdered milk only. Mix 200g of powder with warm water to make up 1 litre of milk. Actual cows' milk should never be diluted with water either.
From 1 week of age lucerne hay and sheep pellets should be made available. The minimun age to then wean onto concentrates is 4 weeks old. The minimum age to wean onto good quality pasture alone is 6 weeks (8 weeks better).
Lambs that have been artificially reared can be reintroduced to the mob once they have been weaned onto good qualilty hard feed (pasture, hay, pellets). This is usually at 6-12 weeks of age.
Lambs should be marked (i.e. vaccinated, tail docked, ear tagged, ear marked, +/- castrated) before reintroducing to the weaner mob. Lamb marking is generally performed around 4-6 weeks of age.
Frequent contact between the reared lamb and the mob prior to reintroduction can make the transition easier. This can be achieved by walking the lamb around the boundary fence and having animals penned alongside one another.
Sheep can make excellent companions and in some circumstances you may decide to keep your lamb and rear it as a pet. However, entire male sheep do not make suitable pets and may even present a danger to children and adults. If you decide to keep a ram lamb pet it should be castrated before 6 weeks of age (both for safety reasons and before sexually maturity is reached).
Identification: All sheep in Western Australia must be branded and ear marked, and owners issued with a Property Identification Code (PIC). Please seek further advice on how to apply for registration from the WA Agricultural Department. Ear marking should be performed at weaning.
Vaccination: Lambs should be vaccinated against Clostridial diseases and caseous lymphadenitis (CLA). These pathogens are readily encountered in the environment thus making vaccination the best form of prevention. Vaccination is usually performed at marking and then repeated in 4 weeks time at weaning. An annual vaccination is then required to maintain lifetime immunity.
Parasite control: Control of internal parasites is achieved through oral drenching. In single sheep households drenching is usually required infrequently. The best method to determine whether drenching is required is to monitor the faeces and request a faecal worm egg count (WEC) at your veterinary hospital. Sheep can also get external parasites such as lice. Monitor the sheep for any signs of wool loss or itchiness. If this occurs seek advice about the most appropriate chemical control method for your pet sheep.
Nutrition: Pasture or good quality hay supplemented with grain is the best form of nutrition. Avoid garden plants and weeds that may be toxic. Also seek advice about any nutritional supplements (selenium, cobalt, vitamin E etc.) that may be recommended in your area. Ensure water is available at all times.
Shelter: Provide protection against rain and sun, and also stray dogs.
Hoof trimming: Perform regularly. If you are unsure how to trim your sheep's hooves we can do this for you at the Mt Barker Veterinary Hospital.
Shearing and crutching: Generally sheep need shearing once yearly unless you have a shedding breed (Damara, Wiltshire, Dorper). Shearing is a good time to inspect the wool for any parasites. Crutching is also generally required yearly and helps to avoid issues with dags and flystrike.
Sexual maturity: Puberty in sheep varies between breeds and is also influenced by nutrition. Ewes generally reach sexual maturity at 7-9 months of age and will cycle in late summer-autumn. Rams generally reach sexual maturity between 23-27 kg bodyweight and thus are castrated early in life. Homosexual behaviour in male sheep is normal.

I recently wrote a column about the local GPU shortage in South Africa – and indeed, the entire world – thanks to people mining cryptocurrencies like Ethereum again. Well, that was one day ago. Overnight, the problem has gotten worse, with new cards being targeted by miners as Bitcoin's value surges. Mining farms locally are now targeting cards that are even largely inefficient for their intended currencies, but which still make a profit after a few months. Eish!
Yesterday while I was running through local retailers to see how things were going, I noticed that a lot of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards were still in stock. The usual suspects, like older generations that hadn't received NVIDIA's RAM update, were out of stock as expected. But some GTX 1080s were gone, which was worrying. Typically the high-end graphics cards aren't targeted by miners because of the volatility of the difficulty increases and how much more power they consume. NVIDIA's GTX 1080 had been avoided in the past because it uses GDDR5X memory, which has higher bandwidth at the cost of added latency that makes mining more inefficient. However, because Bitcoin and Ethereum is now so insanely valuable, that even the high-end cards can earn some serious bank in a short amount of time.
I asked a few people quickly about the shortages, and they confirmed the same thing – GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti GPUs were being targeted. Rebel Tech's stock was cleared out fast. Titan-Ice has one GTX 1080 Ti left as of this morning. Wootware, as shown above, is also cleared out. Evetech, Landmark PC, Raru, Loot, and even Takealot are all now without high-end cards.
Well, that's not completely true. AMD's Radeon R9 Nano, R9 Fury, and R9 Fury X are all still in stock, saved by the fact that their high-bandwidth memory interfaces make mining slow enough that a Radeon RX 580 is a better choice owing to its lower power consumption and price. We might still see a surge in some sales of the R9 Fury though, because it's possible to break even in four months mining Ethereum on the Radeon R9 Nano, according to the NiceHash calculator.
What's somewhat concerning as well is that sales are picking up of the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and the Radeon RX 560 4GB cards. The 4GB cards are preferred because they hold enough VRAM to run the current miners properly, and this is only expected to change sometime in late 2018. Assuming that difficulty doesn't scale too high in the coming months, it may still be profitable to mine with those cards if you're willing to stretch things out to a full year. Before the day is out, these cards might also be out of stock.
It might also be the case that instead of miners picking up these cards, it's gamers who don't have any other option for a GPU aside from Intel's integrated graphics. That's quite a sad thought, isn't it?

Each season the MMG team assembles for a training session with the intention of covering business related topics, the previous season in review, and to brush up on best practices for the upcoming season. Not only are these things accomplished it is also a great way to spend time with friends that we otherwise only see in a professional role.
Personally speaking I am honored to work with these gentleman. Each one of the MMG team in addition to being professional guides, husbands, and fathers, they are also professionals in other fields. Engineers, educators, tradesmen, nurses, Search and Rescue, the list goes on. Each one of their talents as individuals along with impressive climbing/guiding resumes makes one very strong team. Its during these trainings, when we are all assembled, that I truly see just how strong we all are together. I guess thats the point of gathering for a common purpose. To share what we have with the collective in an effort to, in MMG's case, deliver a better service to the guests we guide through the mountains.
This season we owe a special thanks to the other companies that have supported MMG and guides around the globe in an effort to say thank you for the jobs guides do. To Mammut for supplying and awesome jacket, Petzl for the carabiner and text books, and to Julbo for the glasses. Each one of these items not only makes us look a little cooler, but they also help MMG's professional appearance. (Look for an individual blog on all the items from our supporters.)
This years topics included business updates, an analysis on recent accidents that have occurred to the general public, how MMG can set a positive example to recreational climbers on avoiding these accidents, backcountry communication, AMGA programs, station management, up to down transitions, and the physics of a fall. All together an action packed day that has the entire team psyched for the rock season ahead.
Again, a big thanks to all.

On 20 March 2018 the government published a consultation document on proposed measures designed to improve corporate governance when companies are in or approaching insolvency.
The consultation document is available to download here ›
The document seeks views on a range of issues including,
- enhanced corporate governance and transparency measures in relation to complex group structures
- shareholder responsibility
- the legal and technical framework within which distributable profits are determined for dividend purposes
- directors' awareness of their duties with regard to seeking and relying upon professional advice, and
- measures to protect payment of SME supply chain creditors.
The consultation document notes that the UK has a leading international reputation for being a dependable place to do business and that the insolvency regime is well regarded internationally. However, it states that the government recognises that the regime must be continually improved to ensure that it delivers the best outcomes for all stakeholders now and in the future. Therefore, it proposes the introduction of new powers for insolvency office holders and the Secretary of State and seeks views of stakeholders on these proposed measures.
It is clear that in drafting some of the proposed new measures the government had in mind one or two recent high profile corporate failures and is keen to ensure that in future action can be taken in the interests of creditors where currently there are perceived loopholes.
Sales of Businesses in Distress
Directors must act in the best interests of the company but when a company becomes insolvent the directors must act in the best interests of the company's creditors. Any failure to do so leaves the directors open to claims for, amongst others, misfeasance, wrongful and fraudulent trading. However, currently, where a parent or holding company sells an insolvent subsidiary which subsequently enters a formal insolvency process, there is no recourse against the directors of the parent company even though the insolvency of the subsidiary was entirely foreseeable once the support of the parent was removed. There are clear parallels here with the insolvency of BHS following its sale to Dominic Chappell.
The government is proposing that the directors of the parent company should be liable to contribute to the assets of the insolvent subsidiary in the following circumstances,
- At the time of the sale the subsidiary was insolvent or insolvent but for guarantees of other group companies or directors,
- The subsidiary enters liquidation or administration within two years of the sale,
- The interests of creditors were adversely affected between the date of sale and the commencement of the formal insolvency process,
- At the date of the sale, the directors of the parent company could not have reasonably believed that the sale would lead to a better outcome for creditors than placing the subsidiary into administration or liquidation.
Where these criteria are met, it is proposed that the administrator or liquidator of the subsidiary should be entitled to apply to the court for an order that the directors of the parent contribute to the assets of the subsidiary.
I have no doubt that had such provisions been in force a couple of years ago, the administrators of BHS would have taken a very close look at Philip Green and there would have been considerable interest amongst third party litigation funders to fund such a claim, given the known assets of Mr Green.
Value Extraction Schemes
These proposals are intended to supplement the existing powers vested in insolvency office holders to challenge transactions amounting to preferences, transactions at undervalue, extortionate credit transactions and certain floating charges. As such any new measures will be in addition to and not in place of the existing legislation.
The government is concerned that the existing legislation does not provide a mechanism for dealing with a situation where is company has been "rescued" by investors who then seek to extract value quickly to lessen their potential losses should the company subsequently fail. Examples of the conduct that the government is concerned about include charging management fees, excessive interest on loans, taking security over company property, excessive remuneration and the sale/leaseback of assets. The challenge with implementing any new measures along these lines will be not to discourage genuine rescue attempts which the government welcomes. As such it is proposed that the new measures will only apply in cases where,
- The company received new investment,
- Had value extracted by way of a transaction or series of transactions designed to benefit the investor without adding value to the company, and
- The company subsequently enters liquidation or administration.
It is proposed that the power to challenge the extraction scheme will vest in the insolvency office holder who will be able to challenge schemes in the period of two years prior to the commencement of insolvency and thereby enable a fairer distribution of company assets if the company fails and where otherwise, ordinary creditors are disadvantaged more than is "commercially reasonable".
Interestingly, it is proposed that there will be no requirement to show that the company was insolvent at the time of the extraction scheme or that it became so as a consequence. Instead, the proposed test is whether the scheme unfairly puts the investor in a better position than other creditors in a subsequent formal insolvency than would otherwise have been the case.
Such claims are likely to be attractive to a third party funder given that one of the required conditions is that the investor has extracted value and is therefore likely to have the means to satisfy a judgment or settle the claim.
Dissolved companies
Currently the Secretary of State has power to investigate the conduct of directors of live companies and companies that have entered a formal insolvency process. However, there is a perceived loophole in respect of directors of companies which have been dissolved or struck off. It is believed that in some cases directors cause or allow their companies to be struck off in order to avoid being held accountable for their actions.
It is therefore proposed that the Secretary of State be given powers to,
- require directors of dissolved companies to provide information,
- seek a disqualification order against a former director of a dissolved company,
- seek an order requiring the former director to compensate creditors,
- prosecute criminal conduct.
If granted, these powers are to be exercised at the discretion of the Secretary of State provided there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing and it is in the public interest for action to be taken.
It remains to be seen whether the Secretary of State will be given the human and financial resources with which to apply these proposed new powers. There would seem to be no reason in principle why a third party funder should not be brought in to fund compensation claims. Such claims are regularly funded in insolvency cases and the stated purpose of the proposals is to bring the provisions applying to dissolved companies in line with those applying to insolvent companies.
The government invites views on the above measures by 11 June 2018.

Do you feel like you're ready to give up on Christianity lately? Do you find yourself wondering whether God even cares about you anymore or anything of what you go through on a day to day basis or even moment by moment? And if He does, why is He silent towards you?
Are you lacking faith today because of questions like these?
Emotions and faith are constantly at war with each other for the coveted captain seat of your life. In other words, emotions will try to point you to a circumstantial downfall instead of allowing faith to give you peace in the calamity. Many people view faith as an emotion when it is not necessarily how you feel but an action, or series of actions, that you take. Emotion, unlike faith, change upon information received instead of remaining assured in the truth. For instance, you could find out one day that you have cancer and might understandably feel anxiety, anger, or depression, when faith would otherwise guide you to the truth that God has ultimate say over human life and that yours is in His loving hands as well.
Faith leads you towards truth when emotions can't see the truth yet.
God created emotions, and God is an emotional Being. All throughout the Bible you'll discover God's feelings of anger or love or amusement. God doesn't deny his feelings, and neither should you.* However, God never finalizes his decisions based on how He feels at the moment, yet builds His decisions on a foundation of truth. But one question still remains: why is He silent or seemingly absent during your trials and hardship if the Creator of these things is aware of how you feel?
Faith is not a concept you visit, it's a lifestyle you possess.
In Hebrews 11, it says that God is pleased with people who have faith. Unless living by faith is your modus operandi, or a lifestyle you operate by daily, you're living a life that is otherwise displeasing to God. So that begs the real question: what is faith? Faith is acting (not saying, feeling, or merely thinking) like God is telling the truth. Many people want God's blessing and simultaneously call Him a liar. They don't really believe what He said is true, but yet pretend like they do for the sake of a Christian masquerade. You might be familiar with a phrase "walking by faith" which means it's got to hit your feet and be an active manifestation in your life. How can you expect God to bless or deliver you from a circumstance if you're simply playing church and playing religion, but having faith hasn't really sunk in for you as a real way of life? That's why faith is such a big deal to God. The only avenue to please Him is to take seriously His integrity and implement it in your everyday life. Simply put, you won't experience God in your circumstances if you're living by feelings instead of His word.
So, how do you know you're living by faith? Well, take a step back and examine your life from an honest perspective. Are you worrying all the time? Are you believing just for believing's sake, or are you moving in sync with what God says in all areas of your life, such as finances, singleness, marriage and career? Take the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendago in Daniel 3 for example. King Nebby wanted to throw them in the fiery furnace because the three men wouldn't worship an erected idol honored by the king. Instead of submitting to idolatry out of fear of being burned to a crisp, the three men stood firm in their faith in God, whether or not God chose to save them from the furnace or not (v. 18). They remembered that God had made a promise long ago to be with those that were loyal to Him, and the three men held onto that promise with their very lives. In the end, God didn't choose to save them from the furnace. There are often moments in life when God won't perform a miraculous deliverance from tight spots or devastating circumstances for the purpose of conveying aspects of His will that may otherwise be hidden.
But notice a key event in this passage. When the three men were thrown in the furnace (or, in modern day terms, thrown into situations of bankruptcy, death of a loved one, etc) God remained with them (v. 25). God kept His promise of forsaking not His loyal servants. The point is this: God doesn't want you to exclusively experience Him in all the good times where the sun is shining and lemonade is free on a hot day. He wants you know Him through the trials as well.
You will experience God in a deeper and more intimate way through hardship and adversity than blessings and perfect moments.
Finally, your faith is only as meaningful as the substance it is tied to. If you have faith in yourself and you tie your own cape on every morning to be your own hero, well, then, what choice does God have but to step out of the way and allow you free will? But those that trust in the Lord find hope and new strength. They will run and not grow weary and they will walk and not faint (Isaiah 40.31).
*See Romans 1:18; Zephaniah 3:17; Psalm 78:40; Matthew 23:37; John 2:15

Treacherous weather conditions ultimately led to Oliver Gavin's demise in Round 5 of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship and the third instalment of the Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup – the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen – at Watkins Glen International (26-28 June).
Gavin and his American Corvette Racing teammate, Tommy Milner, started from sixth in the GTLM category and both drivers were positive about the #4 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R's potential in all conditions, with a heavy rainstorm looming for the main event on Sunday (28 June).
The Six Hours of The Glen – Gavin and Milner's first race since their 24 Hours of Le Mans victory with Jordan Taylor – was a treacherous affair from the very beginning.
The New Hudson-based Corvette Racing team elected to start on slick tyres with Gavin in the driving seat, only for rain to fall as the cars left the grid.
The peril Gavin and his competitors faced was clear to see as drivers aquaplaned and span while trundling around on the formation lap, but, calling upon lessons learned during his early years in British Formula Ford at Brands Hatch, Gavin initially avoided the hazards.
However, the treacherous conditions would get the better of the 42-year old from Yardley Hastings when he ran slightly wide onto a painted white line and fishtailed into the wall.
Now a full lap behind the lead pack, Gavin and teammate Milner utilised a full-course caution and steadily improving track conditions to negate the earlier time loss, before steady and persistent rain saturated the Watkins Glen International circuit once again.
The final 90 minutes of the six-hour race were interjected by five yellow-flag periods and a race stoppage, standing water accumulating at various points of the 3.4mile lap, and Milner comfortably led the race with a 12-second gap to Corvette's nearest GTLM challenger before handing the reins back to Gavin.
Sadly, the #4 car crashed out soon after a restart with approximately an hour to run, the ever-deteriorating conditions leaving Gavin with little control over his trajectory and contact with the #912 Porsche North America entry leading to terminally damaged steering for the Corvette.
"It was ultimately a disappointing day for us," said Gavin. "We had been good and quick, Tommy (Milner) got us into the lead and we caught a break on strategy to get ourselves in a good spot. The #4 Corvette was strong in the dry and appeared to be decent in the rain too, so I thought we were in for our strongest showing in the TUDOR Championship since the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
"Unfortunately, when I came to take the restart with about an hour to go, I had a GT Daytona car to pass at Turn 1 when, all of a sudden, the #912 Porsche was on my outside; I knew I was in trouble right there and then, because it was like driving on glass at the apex and I was certain I'd end up on the same bit of asphalt as the Porsche. It was an impossible situation and I was all out of options. Contact sent him spinning and resulted in a blown steering rack, which took us out on the spot. I'm just really disappointed for the Corvette Racing guys. We got ourselves back in the hunt after being in a difficult spot early on. I'm just sorry we couldn't come out with a result that I felt we deserved."
The Mobil1 Sportscar Grand Prix Presented by Hawk Performance at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Ontario, Canada is next on the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship schedule (10-12 July).

The Project of Restoration of the Degraded Sea-environment of the Puck Lagoon was based on research carried out by the DAE IEP together with some cooperating institutes in 1986-1989. The present state of the environment and the degree of degradation of the environment components were studied. A number of pioneer experiments in the Puck Lagoon was performed. As a result, an elaboration on biotechnical and sociotechnical measures, aimed at the improvement of the biocenosis and the environment of the Puck Lagoon, was presented. The following environmental parameters were controlled in 1987 at 13 sampling stations in the Puck Lagoon: surface sediments - type, thickness, aromatic organic fraction; heavy metals in sediments, water, plants and animals; chlorophyll-a, phytoplankton, zooplankton and zoobenthos. Additionally phytobenthos at 28 stations (including 5 sampling profiles, each 400m long) was studied. The input of the substance from the atmosphere was also estimated. The data set contains abundance and biomass of the organisms recalculated for 1 m**3 in the case of pelagic parameters and for 1 m**2 of the bottom in the case of macrozoobenthos. The other values are expressed in standard units. Experiments concerning reintroduction of selected plant species, overgrowing of artificial substrata, establishing artificial spawning sites, removing the 'unfavourable for the environment' filamentous brown algae by means of a prototype of a specially engineered device, were conducted at 4 stations in 1988-1989. The database contains the results of the experiments as well as measurements of: water temperature, salinity, water transparency, oxygen, nitrates and phosphorus in water, sedimentation of organic matter, redox potential, pH, organic carbon, aromatic organic fraction, organic matter and heavy metal concentrations in bottom sediments, bacterioplankton and pathogenic microorganisms. DAE IEP also owns the documentation of these experiments in the underwater photography form. The methods of sampling and sample analyses used were in accordance with international and national guidelines.

Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is responsible for the majority of household cat deaths. It affects all breeds, though it is more common in males and typically occurs in felines aged one to six years old. Outdoor cats and cats in multiple-cat environments are considered the most at-risk for contracting FeLV, a virus spread through warm fluids, such as nasal secretions, saliva, urine, or a mother's milk. It can also be spread from a mother to her kittens while they are still in the womb. Grooming one-another and fighting tend to be the most common ways in which the virus spreads. Because feline leukemia cannot survive outside of a host, ordinary detergents, including bleach, successfully kill the virus on household surfaces.
The virus only affects cats and cannot be transmitted to humans, dogs, or any other animal. Through immunosuppression, FeLV impairs the affected cat's immune system and is capable of causing a variety of diseases such as liver disease and intestinal disease as well as certain types of cancer. Because of their impaired immune system, cats with FeLV are also highly susceptible to various general infections.
It should be noted that there is a vaccination available for FeLV, though it is considered a non-core vaccine. Veterinarians usually suggest the vaccination for outdoor cats or cats in multiple-cat households. Please inquire about the vaccination if you consider your cat to be at-risk, as FeLV is often fatal.
What are the symptoms of FeLV?
Diagnosing and treating FeLV
The process of diagnosis for FeLV is fairly simple. A blood test called an ELISA can positively identify the FeLV protein within the blood, making an accurate diagnosis within our veterinary clinic possible. The ELISA test is so perceptive to these proteins that it can identify FeLV infections soon after a pet contracts the illness, even if they have not begun showing symptoms. In FeLV cases that have progressed, an IFA test can confirm the findings of an ELISA test. IFA tests are sent to commercial laboratories for completion. Cats with positive results to an IFA test are unlikely to cure themselves and usually have unfavorable prognosis. Urinalysis and bone marrow biopsy may also be used to aid in diagnosis.
Because there is no known cure for feline leukemia, there is no specific treatment. Numerous therapies have been researched and are currently being studied with no conclusive results. Current treatment includes spaying or neutering an infected cat and keeping them indoors, away from other cats. This protects other cats from becoming infected, as well as protecting your cat from developing any disease or illness they may come into contact with.
Efforts to prolong life include feeding your pet a nutritious diet, preventing exposure to disease, reducing stress levels, controlling parasites, and aggressive treatment of any secondary illness. Generally, FeLV is eventually fatal so ensuring your pet a comfortable lifestyle should be a primary concern.
If you believe your pet has contracted FeLV or you have any questions about the virus, feel free to contact our office at your earliest convenience.

Photographing Antelope Canyon, Arizona, Part Two
. More than just an opportunity to take great photos, a visit to the slot canyons comes pretty close to being a spiritual experience. Lower Antelope, called Hazdistazi by the Nav-ajo, meaning "spiral rock arches," feels in places like a cathedral, a place where water and wind has sculpted sandstone grain by grain to form swirls and arches of magnificent shapes and colors. The sandstone walls curve and bend in flowing shapes, alternating in shades of salmon, orange, purple, brown and yellow, thanks to sedimentary formations of Hematite and Geothite. As an interesting aside, evidence of Geothite's use has been found in paint pigment samples taken from the caves of Lascaux in France.

It is bad enough that Buffalo School Superintendent Pamela C. Brown continues to feign disbelief about what is going on in her own administration. Now she has gone back on her word about being transparent.
Not that Brown ever became a model of transparency, but she recently took a couple of actions that showed outright disdain for the concept.
One involved the district's recent decision to wait until nearly 11:30 p.m. to issue a public statement from the superintendent about the employment status of two outside administration hires. Yamilette Williams is the district's chief of curriculum, assessment and instruction. She has only a conditional certificate to serve as a school principal in New York State, according to the State Education Department. Faith Alexander is the district's chief of school leadership, who provides direct oversight to schools and has the same conditional certificate.
They were hired by Mary E. Guinn, whose presence in the district is an example of this lack of transparency. Brown broadsided the School Board and the public by bringing Guinn back after a stint as a highly paid consultant.
The superintendent waited until executive session to announce that she wanted to hire Guinn as interim deputy superintendent. The board had only months earlier dismissed Guinn. Then she was back. And apparently hiring cronies. Guinn and the two women shared previous employment as consultants with the Arizona-based Evans Newton educational firm.
The district refused to provide employee resumes or specific salary information for either administrator. The News was forced to obtain the information separately.
This information has been legally available to the public since the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) went into effect in 1974. As Robert Freeman, executive director of the state's Committee on Open Government noted, there should be no issue regarding disclosure of the salary or, for that matter, the gross wages of a public employee.
On the issue of a resume, the key provision in FOIL that deals with access to that kind of record is the exception involving the unwarranted invasions of personal privacy.
Although this is a murky topic, there is a great deal of judicial precedent involving the privacy of public employees. The courts have said public employees have less privacy than others because they are supposed to be more accountable. Second, in numerous circumstances, the courts have found in general that those items related to the employees' duties typically are public. The reason: Disclosure would result in a permissible, not an unwarranted, invasion of personal privacy.
If, for example, there is certain criteria that must be met to do the job, those portions of the resume or application indicating that the person is qualified must be disclosed. Without disclosure the public has no way of knowing the government has hired the right person.
In most resumes there is a variety of extraneous information. Leave those items out. Keep the items related to the job in bold.
Indications on a resume of one's prior public employment are always public, as is someone's general educational background. Not the grades, but the fact that someone got a degree from a particular college or university and when.
Brown has to do a much better job of explaining why the district went against its own job descriptions, which clearly state that district leader certification is required upon hiring. Moreover, she must explain to the people of Buffalo why she still refuses to release information that is their right to have.

Auto loan debt in the U.S. sped past the trillion-dollar mark again this year, according to the Experian State of the Automotive Finance Market report released Thursday.
"Automotive financing certainly has started off the year with a bang, seeing steady growth in balances and loan volumes throughout the first quarter," Melinda Zabritski, senior director of automotive finance for Experian, said in a press release.
Outstanding car loans totaled $1.005 trillion in the first quarter of 2016, a substantial increase from the $905 billion outstanding the year prior. The first time the auto loan market hit $1 trillion was in the third quarter of 2015, and it continues to climb, as do car sales.
Used Car Prices
A new Edmunds report found that prices for used compact and subcompact cars are down, making them the best value for used car—shoppers right now. (If you're looking to buy a car, check out these car buying mistakes to avoid before signing the dotted line.) According to the report, the cost of used subcompact cars decreased 5.7% year-over-year while used compact cars are down 1.5%.
"Low gas prices and easy credit are making SUVs — and their higher price points — more appealing to used car shoppers, but they're also creating a great opportunity for small car—shoppers, who now have a wider selection at lower prices," Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds director of industry analysis, said.
Financing Auto Loans
The report also found that banks still fund the majority of automotive loans, with an increase of 7.9% over the previous year, but finance companies and credit union loans grew 25.6% and 15.9%, respectively, making them the institutions with the most loan growth.
"With more and more consumers relying on financing, it is important for lenders to keep a close eye on delinquency trends to ensure the market remains healthy," Zabritski said. "Likewise, consumers need to continue making their monthly payments on time to keep affordable financing options open and available."
If you're considering taking out an auto loan, it's a good idea to check your credit score first so you have an idea of what terms and conditions you may qualify for. You can do this by viewing two of your credit scores for free on Credit.com. These scores are updated every 14 days, so you can monitor them to see how your spending habits are affecting your financial goals.

Do you want to buy a house but think it is out of your reach financially? Well, you're not alone. A major mortgage company recently did a survey that revealed that the number one reason that people don't pursue their dreams of home ownership is because they think that they have to have 20% down. I was absolutely shocked when I heard that! What if I told you that you could quite literally buy a home for less out of pocket than you'll spend furnishing it? Well buckle your seat belts, kids because it's true and I'm about to tell you all about how to do it.
Use the right loan – Yeah, you're parents or grandparents probably purchased their home with a 20% down Conventional loan. But, just like everything else lending has changed to meet the need of its current consumers. With options including 10% and 5% down conventional loans, a 3.5% down FHA loan, in-house portfolio loans at 3% down, all the way to no money down on USDA and VA loans the options are endless! The requirements will vary between loan types. Your lender and Realtor will help you figure out which is best suited to your financial needs and goals.
Cut out closing costs – So we've learned that we can buy a house with little to no down payment, but what about closing costs? Closing costs are what the lender charges to procure your loan. Each loan type is going to have different charges, but generally closing cost run between 2% and 3% of the purchase price. How can we lessen the blow of those costs? Ask the seller to pay, of course! It's very common to request that the seller pay some or all of your closing costs. How much you request generally depends on your needs. But don't worry; your lender will be able to tell you how much you'll need to ask for!
Grant Money – Every year grants are rolled out by different lending institutions. Normally the funds allotted for the grants are limited which means there's only so many individual grants they have available to give. While others are just programs lenders run until they stop. But for the most part, you'll have to get 'em while the gettins' good! They're not always available, though, so talk to your realtor and lender about what's available and how it can help you!
Upfront costs – You do need some money to buy a house, even if you use a no money down loan and get your closing costs covered by a grant or seller! There are costs like home inspections, earnest money, and appraisals. A typical whole home inspection is around $300 to $500, earnest money is a negotiable amount that is an upfront deposit that gets applied to purchase at closing (average in this area starts around $500), and sometimes a lender will have you pay for the appraisal upfront which is around $400 to $500.
So let's put all of this information together into some actual numbers. I'll use an example from a recent sale that closed. My buyer got a home under contract for $102,000. They used a 3.5% down FHA mortgage. They asked for $3,000 in seller paid closing costs and they qualified for a $2,000 grant from their lender. They ended up bringing just over $2,100 to closing. Their upfront costs were about $300 for a home inspection and $500 in earnest money. So total out of pocket was right around $2,900. To buy a house! So the question isn't how much does it cost to buy a house, it's how much do you want to spend!

How to be a Successful Buyer in a Seller's Market
Years ago when I started my Real Estate Career we were still in the thick of a depressed market. Bank owned listings were prevalent and real estate investors were having a hay day! With foreclosures flooding the market buyers had a lot of options to choose from and sellers had to drop prices to compete. Buyers were happy! But things have shifted and buying a house now is a different experience all together.
Market forecasters say that we could see foreclosures only making up 1 to 3% of home sales this year. That means the housing market is essentially "back to normal". Little to no foreclosures on the market means that there's less to choose from and that the consumer home seller holds the monopoly. It's a seller's Market Ya'll. So what can you do as a buyer to ensure a good home buying experience?
Set your expectations: Basic rules of supply and demand say that when supply is low, prices are up. What you WANT to pay for a home doesn't determine its market value. If you are home shopping under the impression that you can effectively place a low ball offer, you're going to get nowhere fast. Chances are if you find a home you like, there's someone else who likes it too. Expect to be competing with other buyers. If you're unsure if the asking price is fair ask your agent to show you what comparable properties are selling for.
Be prepared: Since you're likely to be competing with other buyers you want to make sure you're ready to pull the trigger when you do find a home you like. You'll need to have your pre approval ready when you start looking. You and your agent will need this to determine which type of financing you'll be using, your price range, and the amount of closing cost you should be asking for from the seller. If you find a home you love and then have to get your financing together someone who was ready could already have your house pending.
Work with the right agent for you: Because the market is competitive for buyers right now, it's more important than ever to have the right agent on your side. Not only do you want your agent to be knowledgeable but you also want to make sure that your schedule and communication preferences fit well together. What I mean by this is if you work until 6 during the week, you want an agent who has availability to work evenings. If you find a house on Monday you love but can't see it until Saturday afternoon, it might be gone. Also, if you are an avid text message user who despises phone conversations you may want to rethink the Realtor who has a flip phone and wants to fax you documents. Everyone has their own methods that work best for them. While none of them are wrong, working with an agent who works the way you do can add a level of fluidity to your transaction.
The Perfect (Sales) Storm
The weather here in the tristate area has been anything but normal recently. We've went from a mild winter, to spring like warmth and tornados, to actual winter like temps and snow - all within about a week's time! Although, the weather here in Cincinnati has always been quite finicky. How's the saying go? "If you don't like the weather just stick around, it will change." Well, so goes the real estate market.
There's a storm brewing in the market. A few conditions are coming together to make it a perfect storm for sellers. Here's what the forecast models are showing:
High demand, low supply – In the Cincinnati MLS we generally run an average of 10,000 units for sale. Give or take. When the market was flooded we had over 20,000 units which was more supply than the market needed therefore demand dropped and it was overwhelmingly a buyer's market. But right now we are at around 5,000 units for sale in the Cincinnati MLS. That's half the normal supply! This creates a higher demand and means buyers are competing, not sellers.
Rising Values – What does high demand do? It makes values go up! Here's an excerpt from the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors Press Release. These values reflect January 2017 sales information, "The average home price climbed to $180,681 compared to $166,130 a year earlier, a +8.76 % increase. At the same time, the inventory of homes for sale, as of January 31, continued its year-over-year declining trend to 4,867 from 6,647 a year ago, down – 26.78 %.' I'm not making this stuff up!!!
Low Interest Rates – Interest rates are still hovering the in the low 4's. This is up just slightly from last year but is still extremely low! Great, right? But how does it affect you as a seller? Glad you asked! Low rates mean that a buyer has more buying power. Here's an example; let's say that a buyer wants to keep their monthly payments right around a grand. If the interest rate is 4.5% they could purchase a home at $200,000 and have a monthly mortgage and interest payment of $1,013.37. Let's change that by just 1%. At 5.5% a buyer would have to purchase a home for $180,000 to have a monthly payment of $1,022.02. A 1% increase in interest decreased the buying power by $20,000!!
All of these conditions coming together at the same time are really creating a perfect storm in the market. We're gearing up for another strong year. But we need more listings to support the buyers out there looking! If you've considered selling but weren't sure if it was the right time, now could be the perfect time for you. Contact an agent at Ring Real Estate today to find out!
