During the term in Rome, this MA focuses on the art of Rome with a core course that spans almost two millennia and examines the changing face of the eternal city. This core spends more time on the period 1400-1700, which is also the period from which a second course is chosen from a range of topics. You will study the art of Rome first hand, visiting relevant sites and museums, with options to study the history of Rome and specific artists.

The colors, slight texture & typography all mix together to give this site a really nice high end look. I love the asymmetrical feel to the design with the way the slideshow is put together with the small thumbnails on the left and large image to the right.
The site is responsive too which is super nice, leaves you with that high end finishing touch. Superb!


text: The wine is deep crimson red in colour with a lively blend of cherries, musk and nuances of fine oak on the nose. The palate is complex and textured, opening with bramble fruit yielding to a rich palate reminiscent of well conched Belgium chocolate. The finish is long and fine grained. Enjoy this wine now or with careful cellaring through to 2022. Great with Angus beef topped with garlic marron, Steak & Lake as it's known in Margaret River.

While Kantaben Patel, the owner of the flat at Happy Jivan Housing Society in Sai Nagar, Vasai, was issued the NOC on Tuesday, the prospective buyer, Vikarahmed Khan, was given a written apology by 11 society members for hurting his religious sentiments. Khan had been denied the right to purchase a flat in the building that comprises majority Gujarati families.
In an exclusive report, TOI had mentioned how the Patels were unable to sell their first-floor flat to Khan as 11 society members had signed a letter objecting to it. They had urged Kantaben not to sell her flat to a Muslim family.
Khan filed a complaint against them with Manickpur police on September 17 for hurting his religious sentiments. The 11 flat owners were booked under Section 295 (A) of the Indian Penal Code for "deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs." It is a non-bailable offence. Nine members (one owns two flats), including two women, were arrested on Monday. They were produced in Vasai court and released on bail against a personal bond.
The NOC dated September 19 signed by the chairperson, secretary and treasurer states they have no objection to selling flat 103 to Khan. Patel had submitted an application for the NOC on Sunday after the committee members took a decision to issue it. Khan told TOI that he had received the NOC. "I have begun the process of applying for a loan. I will buy the flat and I am confident that we will all live peacefully in the building." Secretary Jeetendra Jain said the two Muslim families that have lived in the building for over two decades have not faced any form of discrimination.
Meanwhile, four families, including the two Muslim families, did not sign the letter objecting to the sale. Deepak Patole, a Maharashtrian, was away. The members did not approach one Adesh Varma (52), as they were sure he would not sign. Varma recalled how he had signed on a NOC two decades ago when a Bengali family had sold their flat to a Muslim. "These very families were here when that sale happened. That time no one objected. I am surprised that this time they acted so irresponsibly," said Varma but added the society is among the best and "all the members live in harmony."

Today's 'Real Life Wedding' blog is all about Beth and Richard who were married with us on 24th July 2014.
Living in Exeter, Beth arrived the night before her special day along with her friends to stay overnight in Holly Cottage. They enjoyed a lovely evening relaxing before the very special day ahead. The ladies awoke nice and early in Holly Cottage and were treated to chef's lovely fresh warm croissants. It wasn't long before Beth and her bridesmaids were having their hair and make-up done in the Bride's changing room. Meanwhile Richard was making his way to the venue to meet his fabulous groomsmen.
Richard met with his groomsmen and they soon got into the swing of the day- toasting to happy times both past and present!
During the morning, Janette, their Front of House Manager was busy meeting suppliers and briefing our super team members on the order of the day. With the flowers by Pumpkin Pie and the cake delivered by Amy Roche. Mark from Evolve Photography then arrived armed with cameras and lenses. Finally with the arrival of the Registrars, the day was ready to proceed.
The ceremony was conducted in the lovely warm and sunny Orangery at 2pm with guests witnessing the marriage of Beth and Richard. A wonderful confetti line awaited the happy couple as they left the Orangery and a Rose Petal Confetti shower took place. Guests then enjoyed lovely summer welcome drinks consisting of Raspberry Fizz, Bellinis and Orange Juice. The sun behaved and shone for the photographs.
Guests were welcomed into the wedding breakfast which was served at 4.20pm and consisted of a wonderful array of fresh, local, free range produce that chef created into mouth watering Pan Fried Free Range Breast of Chicken on a bed of Ratatouille and Saddle of Lamb with Apricot and Cumin Stuffing.
Following the wedding breakfast there were some very humorous speeches! After tea and coffee had been served the wedding breakfast drew to a close with the announcement that the Cocktail Bar was about to open.
The evening party soon got under way with the ceremony of 'cutting the cake' followed by Beth and Richard's first dance and guests partying until late into the evening. At 9.30pm chef had prepared a wonderful fish and chip supper for all guests to enjoy. At midnight the evening celebrations were drawing to a close and the time came to say goodnight to a wonderful wedding party.
Most guests stayed overnight and enjoyed a famous St Audries full English breakfast the following morning in the Banqueting Hall.
A wonderful couple had the most wonderful wedding and everyone at St Audries Park wishes Beth and Richard a lifetime of happiness and success. We know we will see them again one day soon!

AdvanceTrack MD, Vipul Sheth shares his journey from a start-up to becoming a larger start-Up! He explains why they weren't going to be a "me-too" opera on and their goal of being recognised as the best accountancy outsourcer in the world. How? By building technology and a culture of excellence within their teams…
I recall my first trip to India when I was exploring the idea of setting up an Outsourcing Company. This was shortly after leaving KPMG back in early 2002.
It was an exciting and scary experience as whilst I had family in India, they weren't involved in the business (deliberately).
We did an analysis of the companies providing outsourcing services and concluded, we could do it in the same way, but chose not to. We concluded that there was a lack of process and limited professionalisation within the industry, but doing it their way would mean there would be no differentiator between us and them, except they were already big companies! Why would they choose to use our service if we were just a smaller version of them?
Our first group of staff consisted of just 5 staff. Even they didn't have enough work to keep them busy! I could have completed the work myself, there was that little work. I did however, need a team of people ready for when the work did arrive. We needed to build a business with a team with passion to deliver amazing service. That ethos has allowed us to continue growing our teams ever since and we'll add 100 Xero certified members in Q1 of 2018.
Our initial analysis of the industry identified that Security, although important was not consistently managed.
We systemised our approach to working with firms building our first version of our AdvanceTrack system in 2005-6. We removed the need to communicate using the insecure method of e-mail and allowed job tracking from that day. We rebuilt our entire platform in 2017, pushing AdvanceTrack 2 live in readiness for the new GDPR regulations (for those who aren't aware, these are Europe-wide Data Protection Regulations).
Culturally, security is part of our DNA. Only this January, A client visited us and was politely asked to leave his smartphone with security. Why? Because we don't allow smartphones in our offices. This is just part of the multi-layered security protocols in place to protect your client data.
Our ISO27001:2013 Information Security certification provides an external audit of already strong protocols we have put in place.
We are a technology driven provider of services, having had high-end developers as part of our business as far back as 2005 (We started in 2003). Our teams also adopt technology to drive our processes to be more efficient.
The most telling part of our culture is our team culture. They work together as a team and also spend a lot of social time together. We have a team building trip annually for all team members to have time together to celebrate how hard they work together.
As a management group, the most noticeable aspect we see is, that it is not one or two team members, but a collective group pulling together to deliver client work as client demands require.
The most enjoyable part of my trips to India is to see the enthusiasm of our young team members working for us. Their willingness to learn and deliver a better service is a key part of the culture of society and the wider team.
We also award monthly individual prizes to reward exceptional work.
We briefly touched upon our AdvanceTrack system. It is one of the reasons as senior management, we can have confidence that our teams deliver consistently.
Having worked with a Regional Accounting firm and two of the Big 4 firms, I obtained an understanding of the need to control the process regardless of who is working on the project. If you think of the number of staff who join and leave Big 4 firms, the clients are handled consistently, meaning that clients do not as a matter of course leave when a staff member leaves. It is a rare occurrence that a client follows any individual leaving a big firm.
Our systems allow our teams to deliver a secure, consistent service, so regardless of the team working on the files, there is generally a consistent service. This is borne out by the client service scores that firms provide feedback on all work delivered across the business.
The aim is to increase quality and service consistently over time, even with testing growth targets that the business has set. This is audited annually by BSI as part of the company's ISO9001:2015 certification.
That was the start of a journey that brings us full circle to today. We still run the business like a start-up as our mantra is to do Outsourcing, but not as you know it.
Having a group of talented young men and women in our team reminds me of how managers in my training firm thought of us trainees. They bring energy into the organisation and questions that keep challenging the status quo. We're not standing still and are adding to our professional and technology teams.
Our joint aims are to delight our clients. If you're ready for the challenge, join us on our journey.

The popular Playa Pesquero resort (Fishing Beach) is located on the coast north of Holguín city, about an hour's drive from the International Airport.
Holguín is also a popular tourist destination for Canadians with resorts nearby and is home to one of two Canadian Consulates in Cuba.
In 2004, the municipality of Holguín had a population of 326,740.[3] With a total area of 666 km2 (257 sq mi),[2] it has a population density of 490.6/km2 (1,271/sq mi).

Close by one finds the galleries Centro Provincial de Arte and Bayado, a library, the club Casa de la Trova, the Martí cinema, the Theatre Eddy Suñol, the Province Museum La Periquera, a science museum, and a history museum. From the hill Loma de la Cruz, where a large crucifix is installed, which can be ascended by its 450 stairs, one can oversee the whole city.

Christopher Kline
For its first show in the new year insitu invites to the exhibition and workshop series »Framework 5: O.K. – The Musical (Pre-Production)« by artist and musician Christopher Kline.
O.K. – The Musical is based on the folklore and myths of Kline's hometown of Kinderhook – home of 8th US President Martin Van Buren, the term »O.K.«, Frank Serpico, and the Headless Horseman, the Mahican Indians and the Kinderhook Creature among other notables – a small town in the Hudson River Valley, about 200 km upstate from New York City. In this project Kline explores the potential of narrative installations whilst deconstructing the community theatre musical into its fundaments and, at times, unfortunate realities.
For the duration of the project, insitu has been transformed into a dynamic space for production and rehearsals open to the public. During regular workshop sessions, Christopher Kline worked together with children, teenagers and young adults to create the stage scenery, props, music, and costumes for the musical.
In addition to the exhibition and workshops happening at insitu from 15 January – 21 February, the project culminated in the very first, fragmented iteration of the »O.K. – The Musical (Dress Rehearsals)« on 26 February, 2015. The performance took place at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Auguststraße 69 in Berlin-Mitte, as part of the »One Night Stand«, a series of events organized by KW in partnership with the Network of Berlin Independent Project Spaces and Initiatives.
Public workshops for children at insitu:
Poster workshop — Saturday 17.01.2015 / Set Design workshop — Saturday 24.01.2015 / Costume Design workshop — Saturday 31.01.2015 / Suitable for ages: 7–13 / Free of charge
Production Team: insitu (Producer), Elisabeth Wood (Music Director), Leanne MacKay (Art Director), Sol Calero (Wardrobe and Production Manager), Derek Howard (Director of Photography/Lighting), Sílvia Torrus (Set Department), Carolina Jiménez (Stage Manager).

Is My Charger Too Small For the Amount of Fence I Have?

I've been asked a handful of times, "Is my multi wire set up too much stress for my fence charger?" Some manufactures rate their chargers in total linear length of wire, and some rate in single/multi wire, so it can be hard to figure out.

What do you want your grassland to provide and what are you willing to invest? Those are key questions for grassland managers. There are major differences in what can be achieved in grassland projects based on the history of the land and its management. Native (unbroken) sod has certain characteristics and potentials that planted or tame grasslands do not.

Changing attitudes about farming and ranching in expanding Texas cities
Southwest Farm Press
In fact, Texas is such a large contributor to the nation's agriculture, it might seem surprising that as urban areas of the state become larger, trends have been that fewer Texans are aware of the important role agriculture plays in the state's heritage and economy.

Alright, it's a day later, so I've had some time and distance to think about our crummy experience last night. Several people have asked us today about our visit, and as much as I want this to be a positive blog, I also don't want people to think that we only report on the best things. As one of my friends pointed out to me earlier today: this is a blog about experiences, and the more that I digested the night, the more I decided that it was only fair to include the bad along with the good.
Exactly as that: the bad with the good (which means that I am now un-furious-ed enough to evaluate the good!).
So, last night, instead of cooking up the steaks we'd set to defrost earlier, we decided what better to do with a lovely summer night than check out the scene at a Mt. Washington restaurant for our #18 Achievement. Typically, when we do Mt. Washington, we do LeMont, and we always seem to manage to get Marco's section, and Marco treats us like princesses (well, me like a princess, Michael more like a prince, I guess, if we're going to be technical). But we are all about broadening our horizons, so after doing a bit of Yelping, we decided we would pick the Grandview Saloon.
We picked this restaurant as opposed to any of the other ones on Mt. Washington because we were looking for something a little more casual, but still with a nice view. The reviews on Yelp are a bit mixed-bag, but it seemed more good than bad, so we made a phone call to see if we needed reservations (we were told we did not, for bar-area seating or outdoor deck), and then we headed up the mountain.
We were seated immediately at one of the tables in the bar area. We couldn't really see the great view (and there truly is a great view if you're near a window or on the deck – you could almost see into Heinz Field on a game day), but we were okay with that because we could see the bar TV, which was playing the Buccos game.
And our waitress brought us drinks quickly, so we thought things were going to go swimmingly.
We decided that we would order two appetizers and split an entree, because we both really wanted to try the mushroom soup we had read so much about in reviews, but neither one of us thought we could finish a full bowl on our own. So, we put our orders in, and waited.
….and waited, and waited, and waited.
The mushroom soup never arrived, nor did our salads. It seemed that our poor waitress had been assigned to not only waiting tables, but filling drink orders for all of her tables, plus many of those for the servers in other areas of the restaurant. It wasn't as if she was slacking off at all, but it was so hard to get her attention, because she was constantly rushing around making drinks and taking orders. Finally, after about 45 minutes, our appetizer arrived.
We started with an order of the jalapeno crab dip. I'd anticipated it being spicy, what with jalapeno in the title, but it really wasn't. It was just the tiniest bit tangy, and it was served hot with those yummy pita chips. This was promising – the crab dip was honest-to-goodness delicious, and we were willing to forgive the spotty service in light of the crowds and the quality of the appetizer.
Besides, at that point, we'd just learned that love of my life Andrew McCutchen was going to the MLB All Star Game, and that just put us both in fantastic moods!
But then, it was a full half-hour between appetizer and delivery of the next step of our meal…
Which wound up being everything, all at once. This is how it was brought out to us, all the dishes in a single stop. Worst of all, the soup was already room-temperature. We had a few sips of it, but it's hard to judge a thick soup like that when it's not served hot.
This was our entree: the grilled scallops. I have to say: if this had been a $15 entree, I would have been okay with it. But this dish was $26, and it came exactly as shown in this picture.
We were just upset. Michael's a former waiter, so he understands what it's like to be working when you're busy, when you're short-staffed, when you're overwhelmed, but we just felt like for the price of the meal, we could have used some of a heads-up that the kitchen was backed up or too busy. The hostess told us it would be an hour wait for a table other than the one at the bar that we took, so we had kind of assumed that taking the open table meant we'd get our food in less than an hour.
It was rather a bummer of an evening, particularly with the Buccos' less-than-stellar performance. Also, I feel like we had been so excited to try a new spot that it was particularly upsetting to have the night go that way. Honestly, I was just glad to finally get the check and head home.
But, I wanted to post about it, in the essence of being fair and delivering both sides of our experiences. And also, as I am a big believer in second chances, I don't rule out that we would someday return to the Grandview Saloon for redemption scallops. Next time, we might try going for lunch, though, and ordering something less-specialized, like a sandwich. We'd certainly get that crab dip again; it was delicious! But I might be willing to wait until I get a coupon or Groupon deal, because for the price, I think I need more than just a guarantee of a pretty view.
And there was one little girl who was certainly happy to have a leftover scallop when we got home!! 🙂

Q & A with Ram Dass: The State of Spirituality, Cultivating Loving Awareness, and More
Do all spiritual roads lead to Ram Dass? It often seems that way, especially if you practice yoga. His book Be Here Now is a classic primer on mindfulness and meditation, and has sold over two million copies since it was first published in 1971.
The origin story of Ram Dass is by now familiar to most yogis: Before he became Ram Dass, he was Richard Alpert, a self-descibed high-achiever with a corner office at Harvard, where he was a psychology professor.
He was famously kicked out of the university in 1963 for experimenting with psychedelics along with his colleague Dr. Timothy Leary. Alpert soon went to India to study with a guru who renamed him "Ram Dass," which means "servant of God."
Since then, Ram Dass has dedicated his life to spreading a message of love and kindness. On November 13, Ram Dass is bringing his wisdom to the web, and will be live-streaming a new film, Cultivating Loving Awareness.
We were thrilled that he took the time to speak with us about his upcoming project, the state of spirituality, and more!
MBG: What excites you about spiritual leaders today? What scares you?
RD: Dalai Lama is exciting. Mitt Romney is scary
What's one piece of advice for someone just beginning his or her own spiritual journey?
Go inside into your heart center — don't dally on external phenomena. It's not about religion, it's about spirit. You don't need institutions.
Don't accept other people's judgments about your spiritual path — your path should be determined by your intuition.
How can we be here now in a world with smart phones, email, etc.?
Stay in the moment and take whatever comes your way with ease no matter if it's through technology or any other means.
Do you feel like Americans are more open to your message now than they were in the 70s?
More people were concerned with the spirit in the 60s and 70s. Overall, the culture has shifted to concerns of technology and material things.
It would be wonderful if more people would go inside and feel their spirit. They would then be able to contribute to the development of spirit in the culture today.
Do you ever struggle to live your own message, or does it come easily?
My mind plays ego games and when I catch it I go into my spiritual heart, where the witness is, and I identify with that witness. I find though that these days I am quite entrenched in love and I splash in the Ocean of Love always.
What do you love about yoga?
Yoga allows us to take stock of our energy and it moves that energy to the top of the head where we meet the one.
Please tell us about Cultivating Loving Awareness!
Cultivating Loving Awareness is the path to identify with the spiritual heart rather than the ego—that shift in identification can happen with the words— I AM LOVING AWARENESS — repeated as you focus your attention to the center of your chest in the spiritual heart which is the confluence of love and awareness.
My guru Neem Karoli Baba, Maharaji, as we called him, told me to love everybody, but my ego could not love everybody because it is associated with judging mind. Maharaji was urging me to identify with my spiritual heart or soul and this mantra will get you identified with your spiritual heart where you can exist on a different plane of consciousness. On that plane you will see love in everyone and everything.

Sleep ON Halong Bay
After dropped off some passengers in Cat Ba Island, the Bien Mo Junk continued to sail to a relatively quiet and enclosed place in Halong Bay. The junk was anchored here, with the accompany of only another 2 junks.
It's evening, but we were unable to view any sunset, for obvious reason. It's just too cloudy.
The view of other junks at night, blanketed by darkness. After we went back to the our cabin. The crew of the junk shut down the electricity power generator of the junk, to save some fuel I guess. The 5 Malaysian guys made some arguments with them, then they switched on the electricity again. But just for a while, after midnight, they off electricity again. So it's really a 'low cost' junk. Luckily it's quite cool at night.

The Spring Standards
Released on November 11, 2012
Brooklyn residents, The Spring Standards, stopped by Ditmas Park studio Sounds Like a Fire on a sunny day late this summer to record an episode of Honey I'm Home. We decided to try something different with this session, setting up our sound gear in the building's large atrium instead of our usual studio space upstairs. The large space gave us a really unique sound which we think worked great with The Spring Standards' beautiful harmonies.

Animal welfare vs conservation: the case of China's tigers
An unfolding saga in South Africa highlights one of the many divisions that are emerging between those dedicated to animal welfare and those devoted to saving creatures in the wild.
South Africa's National Council of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is once again in a flap over the methods used in a fascinating project that seeks to "rewild" rare Chinese tigers so their offspring can then be released into a natural setting.
It is a project that I followed closely when I was based in South Africa — I covered the arrival of the first cubs in Pretoria — and that I now track from afar in Dallas.
The project, run by the charity Save China's Tigers and set on a 33,000-hectare ranch in South Africa's Free State Province, basically tries to "teach" the big cats to hunt for themselves and other survival skills. It is the brainchild of an energetic Chinese woman named Li Quan.
The hope is that the adult tigers will impart their acquired skills to their offspring which can then be released into the wild in China. Estimates and data are scanty but there are only believed to be around 10 to 30 individuals left in the wild of the Chinese sub-species of the tiger family, also known as the South China tiger.
Two sets of cubs have been flown to South Africa and while one male named Hope has died one pair successfully bred last year, producing a male South China tiger cub. The reserve also has a five-year-old male for breeding purposes.
This is the backdrop to this tale which one would think would have the whole-hearted support of the animal-loving community. It doesn't.
The problem in the eyes of some animal welfare groups is that the tigers are being trained to hunt through the use of live animals such blesbok, a kind of antelope, which are released into a 40-hectare camp.
South Africa's SPCA claims in a statement on its website that "Life Feeding – It Happens Here" and has taken the issue to the courts.
"It is a spurious argument that carnivores need to be fed animals, live. Not in captivity they don't!," the SPCA, which regards the practice as cruel, says.
As cubs they were allowed to have a go at live chickens and I recall the SPCA raising a fuss about that as well. I recall thinking at the time what was more important, a few chickens or the fate of a wild species and an iconic one at that whose plight could help draw attention and save others?
In the case of blesbok one could argue that as a wild African antelope they can only expect to come to a sticky end anyway — that is the typical fate of herbivores in the real world. And how else are the tigers expected to learn how to hunt? Would it not be cruel to cast them into the wild with no survival skills or lock them up for life in a zoo?
And if this experiment works it could help save wild populations of other large predators — animals that are finding they are less and less welcome in an increasingly crowded world.
Or does the SPCA have a good point? Is it just plain cruel to feed live animals to predators in a simulated setting?
This story does point to one of the many forks in the road where animal welfare groups and some conservationists part company. Other "green divisions" include broader battles that are being waged over the sustainable use or commercial exploitation of wildlife and those who oppose it, often on cruelty grounds.

The SPCA make a valid point that in captivity, live prey is unnecessary. They unfortunately overlook the point of the project, which is to eventually end said captivity and release these tigers into the wild.
In our zeal to uphold animal rights, are some of these activists not overlooking the right of a wild animal to learn and engage in natural predatory activities, albeit in a protected environment in the short term, to ensure the continuation of its species?
This is one other example to show that humans are interfering too much with the natural processes. We cannot go about protecting all species from carnivores. Carnivores preying on other animals and herbivores fighting to stay alive is the natural evolutionary procedure.
The captive tigers need to learn that for them to survive. Of course, it is unfortunate for these selected batches of herbivores that they are used for live killing by the tiger. But I don't see how this can be avoided. Unfortunately we cannot have a predator simulation program for the carnivores to practice hunting just like how there are flight simulators for pilots.
in my point of view, it is not hopeless to save the south china tier. during world war II, there were only 40 siberian tigers. now there's about 500 in the wild. those who think it's too late to save the south china tiger need to know about the siberian tiger's progress.
The evolutionary purpose is passed now. Nature is cruel.
I honestly think what NSPCA is saying isn't valid at all. These antelopes are not thrown in small cages with some hungry captive tigers who don't know how to kill them and take a long time to kill them. These antelopes are put in a huge 40ha camp with 1 or 2 tigers.
40 ha is really big, as big as some reserves in Africa, and thus the antelope actually have the space to run away from their predators(tigers), there is fair chance for both the prey and the predators. The tigers must learn how to stalk, ambush and kill their prey with 1 neck bite in order to successfully hunt 1 of these antelopes.
Remember it isn't a small 4 x 4m cage, it is a huge 42ha grassland where prey can escape from their predators.
The SPCA has a very narrow minded agenda and, hence, are completely off the deep end on this one. I think they need to revamp themselves and have a change of leadership as, obviously, they have stagnated idealogically and have not kept up with the realities of conservation today. I also hope the courts have evolved enough to realize the silliness of the SPCA's argument.
The Animal Welfare society is missing the point of this project in the first place. The prey animals are there to teach the Tigers how to hunt and they are in a fenced-in area where they can have a fighting chance against the tigers. What they are doing is a heck alot better than how some people 'teach' tigers how to hunt.
Some people just throw out livestock in a unfair environment and let the tigers attack them in a pitiful way and manner. And they're doing this to entertain people. not for conservation and such. If they are doing it for conservation, they should use wild animals and use a more appropriate techniques to teach tigers to hunt and be wild.

Siccar Point closes Jackdaw divestment
Aberdeen-based Siccar Point Energy has completed the divestment of its equity interest in the Jackdaw discovery to Dyas UK Limited.
The Jackdaw field is located in the Central North Sea area 250 km east of Aberdeen and 10 km north-east of Jade field.
Siccar Point acquired this interest from the takeover of OMV (U.K.) in January 2017. The field is a gas/condensate accumulation in Jurassic sandstones.
Siccar Point entered into an agreement to divest its 26% equity interest across three production licences covering the Jackdaw discovery to Dyas in early November.
Licenses included in the agreement with Dyas were P.098 (block 30/2a (pre‐ and post‐ Tertiary areas)); P.111 (30/3a Lower); and P.672 (30.2d All).
The completion of the transaction was subject to customary regulatory and partner consents.
Following the provision of these consents, the transaction was completed on Friday, December 22.

EU Commission gave auto industry an easy ride, latest dieselgate leaks show
Nessa Childers, MEP for Dublin, expressed disappointment, but no surprise, at the latest leak in the series of events which led to the "dieselgate" emissions scandal, which revealed the use of defeat devices to cheat on binding limits when tested.
As the scandal unfolded, EU regulators stuck to a frustratingly weak response to the challenges of measuring emissions under real driving conditions, allowing for margins of up to more than twice the legal limits.
The leaks revealed in the press today indicate that Commission officials were meeting automobile industry representatives, informally, at the weekend, and passing on internal information on the Commission's approach and positions, which strengthened the auto lobby's powerful hand with Member State governments.
Speaking from Brussels in reaction to the leaks, today, Ms. Childers, a Member of Parliament's Environment and Public Health Committee, said:
"This is very disheartening news indeed, but not very much surprising. Car manufacturers seem to have a throttlehold over all key decision-makers and regulators in Brussels and the national capitals.
"Even the Irish government, with no auto industry to blackmail it over employment and export figures, meekly kowtowed to Germany last autumn to allow for emissions margins in driving tests that make a mockery of the laws passed in Parliament together with the Council of Ministers years ago.
"Little wonder, then, that the emissions testing measures ended with loopholes and margins you can drive a diesel-guzzler through, and which the right-wing in Parliament failed to challenge just last month.
"This shows the inadequacy of the Juncker Commission's progress on lobby transparency, and how urgent it is for the veil to be lifted on all Commission officials' meetings with lobbyists.
"The outrageous level of insider information being exchanged here would lead to jail sentences in other lines of business.
"This is tantamount to regulatory capture, and Parliament's committee of enquiry into the Dieselgate scandal must shed further light on this disgraceful affair.
"Lives and livelihoods are lost prematurely every year across Europe, at an enormous human and financial cost in death and illness, all from levels of air pollution that we can seriously mitigate, once we're not blinded by the auto industry's sheen."
NOTE TO EDITORS: Further information on the leak's contents and context can be found on the website of the Brussels-based corporate lobby watchdog, CEO, through the link below:

Gravel Street and the gravel pits are shown in the 1832 Philander map of Ipswich.
One of the older established ways in town, Washington Street may have started as a footpath for Native Americans long before John Winthrop and the first settlers arrived.
Today's Washington Street was called once called Bridge Street, and for two decades was known as Gravel Street for the two gravel pits on the hillside. It took a right turn to High Street at Lords Square on what is now Liberty Street. At about the same time that Central Street was created in 1870, Gravel Street was extended to Linebrook Road, reconstructed and renamed Washington Street. The section near Lords Square was renamed Liberty Street. A late 19th Century building boom on these two streets and the new Mount Pleasant subdivision added Victorian houses to the old colonial neighborhood.
Before Washington Street was reconstructed in 2011, it had become an eyesore with huge swaths of cracked pavement and a buckling sidewalks (when there was one at all.) The redesigned road is a tremendous improvement in aesthetics and safety. Visitors see a well-preserved neighborhood that compliments the historic character of our town, and the community has a safer way to walk to stores, schools and Bialek Park.Color photos below are from the Ipswich Patriot Properties site for the Town of Ipswich.
Washington and Liberty Street houses
- Information is from MACRIS, the Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System. Photos are from the Ipswich Patriot Properties database.
Mary Holmes house, 10 Washington St. The house was Constructed before 1770 on N. Main St., moved to this location in 1888.
Patrick Riley House, 12 Washington St. This house was built between 1872 and 1884 for Patrick and Ellen Riley. Riley was a farmer and he and his wife lived at #16. It appears that after the house at 12 Washington was built, the Rileys rented it out and remained living at #16. By 1924 this house was occupied by Maurice and Mary Blaquiere. Maurice is listed in town directories as a clerk.
Patrick Riley House, 16 Washington St., built ca. 1865 for Patrick and Ellen Riley. They are also responsible for construction of the house at 12 Washington which stood on the same lot as late as 1910. Patrick Riley is listed in town directories as a farmer. By 1924 this house was occupied by Isaac W. Mitchell, a carpenter. JP LaVallee adds, "My Mom's maternal uncle, Jacques Trudel, lived at 16 Washington Street with his spouse, Lucia, and they raised two children there. Jacques was the organist and choir director at Saint Stanislaus Church for many years, and taught many people in town piano lessons for many years."
Sanford Peatfield House, 18 Washington St. This house appears to have been built for Sanford and Mary Peatfield around 1860. The Peatfield family came from England in 1827. His brother James was responsible for inventing a warp machine, after which he began manufacturing woolen underwear. He is considered one of the first in the country to do this. Sanford and James Peatfield built a brick mill on Washington Street (approximately where Hammett Street now intersects Washington) and continued making woolen underwear until about 1877. Sanford Peatfield died by 1884 and his wife continued to occupy this house. By 1910 it was owned by Jacob Kaufman who may have operated a scrap iron yard at the back of the lot.
E. Bray – Daniel Nourse House, 32 Washington St. The house was built ca. 1865 and by 1872 was owned by E. Bray, Town directories contain no information about Bray. By 1884 it was owned by Daniel P. and Sarah Nourse. Nourse died by 1888 and the house was sold. By 1916 it was occupied by Dennis and Nora Moynaham, Dennis is listed in town directories as a mason.
Michael Laffy – Chapman – Morrill House, 31 Washington St. This house was built between 1872 and 1884. By 1884 it was owned by Michael Laffy; Laffy is listed in town directories as a laborer. By 1910 the house was owned by Walter Chapman, a farmer who lived on Pineswamp Road and presumably rented this house. By 1916 the house was occupied by Euclid A. and CharoletteB. Morrill. By 1924 it was occupied by Insurance agent William F. Connor and his wife Mary.
Charles H. Bell House, 1890 35 Washington St., 1890.
Charles Grossman – Denis Doucette, House, 1890 37 Washington St. This house was built between 1884 and 1902 and was probably one of several in the area built by the Brown family. Prior to construction of the house, land on which it stands was part of a much larger parcel belonging to George B. Brown. Brown operated a large hay & grain business nearby at Brown Square and lived on Liberty Street. By 1916 this house was occupied by Charles (& Mary) Grossman and Denis (& Maggie) Doucette. Grossman is listed in town directories as a teamster and Doucette as a carpenter, By 1924 the house was occupied by William Cewke, a mill operative.
George Brown House, 41 Washington St., 1883. John A. Brown sold this lot to George B. Brown in 1883 and he built a house shortly thereafter. Brown's house is one of the few Stick Style homes in Ipswich. Brown built a grist mill, also located on Washington St., in 1881. He started with a single team and by 1888 employed 6 men. Brown was the first in the area to install a roller mill, which removed all foreign iron substances from the grain before it entered the mill. This new method was known for saving machinery wear and produced cleaner, better grain.
Geanakos Grocery Store, 42 Washington St., 1938. This small grocery store was built between 1936 and 1940, and was operated by Christ G. Geanakos as a grocery store. Geanakos lived at 1 Burley Avenue.
Howard Hill House 44 Washington St., 1905. The house at 30 Washington Street was built between 1902 and 1907. It appears to have been constructed for Howards. Hills who lived here by 1910. Hills was manager of Russell's Ideal Lunch at Depot Square.
James Peatfield – J. S. Marble House, 46 Washington St. 1860. This two-family house was built ca. 1860. A map of 1872 identifies J. Peatfield and J.S. Marble as the owners. This probably refers to James Peatfield. Peatfield was born in England in 1803 and came to America in 1827. He worked in Ipswich as a machinist in the lace factory of the Heard Brothers and built one of the first lace machines in this country. He was also responsible for inventing a warp machine, after which he began manufacturing woolen underwear. He is considered one of the first in the country to do this. Together with his brother, Sanford, Peatfield built a brick mill on Washington Street and continued making woolen underwear until he retired in 1877. By 1884 the house was owned by Charles S. Wlllcomb, a gateman for the railroad at the Linebrook Road crossing. By 1910 Baker had sold to T.K. Lord, and by 1916 the house was occupied by Abner H. & Elizabeth L. Gray and Noel & Serephine Boucher.
George W. Smith – Pickard House, 53 Washington St., 1880. The house at 43 Washington Street was built between 1872 and 1884. The earliest owner to be identified is George W. Smith who owned the house by 1884, Smith is listed in town directories as a flagman for the railroad. By 1910 the property was owned by Henry A. Pickard and occupied by Clarence, Ernest, and Henry A. Pickard. Ernest worked at one of the mills, while Henry was a carpenter. Packard owned the house as late as 1924.
Ephraim Goodhue House, 56 Washington St., built between 1872 and 1884. The earliest owner identified is Ephraim Goodhue, listed in town directories as a blacksmith and grocer with a shop of Pleasant Street. The early maps show a second building on this lot that was probably his shop. By 1902 the house had been converted to two-family use. By 1916 it was occupied by Mrs. Mary King and Leo & Margaret Meunier. Leo Meunier is listed in town directories as a mason. By 1924 the house was occupied by Lawrence & Georgina Gallant and Joseph & Veronique Peter.
From JP LaVallee: "My Mom and her family grew up on 56 Washington Street. Her parents, Arthur Raymond Martel (born on Labor in Vain Road) and Stella (Trudel) Martel raised their nine children in that house in the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s. In the 60s, the house was given to her eldest sibling, Mary Anne (Martel) Hall, and she then raised her five children there until the house was sold circa 2000. "
Charles W. Bamford House, 59 Washington St., built between 1884 and 1888 for Charles W. Bamford. Bamford was, at various times in his career, Town Clerk, Treasurer, and Justice of the Peace. Bamford owned the house as late as 1910. Read more
D. Haskell – F. G. Ross House, 78 Washington St.,1835. This is a story-and-one-third cottage with elements of the Federal style. Federal features include the narrow doorway with plain frieze and cap, the narrow cornerboards and lack of eave overhang. The Federal trim and substantial chimneys identify this house as perhaps the earliest of the many story-and-one-third 19th century cottages which survive in the Linebrook area. The house was owned in 1856 by D. Haskell. By 1910 it was owned by Mrs. F.G. Ross and the site had acquired four barns.
Levi Howe house, 11 Liberty Street, 1857-65. This house does not appear on the 1854 map of Ipswich, but by the time of the 1872 map, the house was in place and Levi L. Howe, a farmer, was in residence. The Howe family owned the house until 1953. The Howe House is perhaps the finest example of the Gothic Revival Cottage style in Ipswich, fairly conservative in its expression of the style.
Charles Brown house, 12 Liberty St. was built between 1884 and 1902. The earliest Identified owner is Charles E. Brown, proprietor who owned the house by 1910. Brown and his son .Walter 6. Brown, operated a brick manufactory and contracting company (Charles E. Brown & Son) that was located on Locust Road at the turn of the century and later on Mitchells Road. In 1916 there were several people living here, including William and Laura Wright, Mrs. Rebecca Leeman, and Joseph and Clara Jenest. William Wright is listed is town directories as a driver and Joseph Jenest as a mill operative. By 1924 this house was occupied by Carleton H. Crafts and his wife Ethel. Crafts was in the insurance business.
George Brown house, 14 Liberty Street. This Queen Anne house was built between 1897 and 1900 for George B. Brown. Brown operated a large hay & grain business at Brown Square. Read more…
Davis-Russell house, 15 Liberty Street, circa 1870. The earliest identified owner is C.W. Davis who owned the house by 1872. By 1884 the house had been sold to John W. Russell, a freight agent. Russell continued to own the house into the 1920s. By 1932 the house was occupied by Odilon G. Chouinard, a carpenter and Nelson J. Chouinard who operated an express and trucking service on this property called "Anthony's Express."
William Nutt house, 18 Liberty Street, Built by John Brown in 1885. The houses at #16 and # 18 Liberty Street were built between 1884 and 1887 by John A. Brown, a brick manufacturer and lumber dealer, probably in association with C.E. Brown & Son. Charles E. Brown undertook some speculative development on Brown Street and it appears that John Brown did the same here on Liberty Street.

In the beginning of this year, we shared with you several ministry opportunities we felt God was leading us to, such as:
• Expanding our broadcasts to reach even more listeners in Indonesia, the largest Muslim-dominant nation in the world.
• Helping Mongolia's first generation church expand and flourish.
• Developing and broadcasting programs in Communist-controlled Vietnam for the millions yet to hear the Good News of Christ.
• Providing wind-up portable radios for the hardest to reach in Asia to learn about their Savior.
Here's a brief update on the projects, and people impacted through your prayers and support.
Indonesia: Unexpected Outpouring of Support
For 42 years, FEBC has been broadcasting the Gospel throughout Indonesia, now the largest Muslim-dominant nation in the world…and people are responding! God is clearly at work because nothing else could explain the unexpected opportunity of adding three new stations in the past two years. This has expanded our reach and allowed us to touch even more lives.
Consider, for example, Suyadi, a 21-year-old Muslim who tuned into one of our Indonesia Heartline stations:
"When I listened to your broadcasts, I felt calm and peaceful inside. The Word of God kept bringing me back to your station."
After being ministered to for a couple of months, Suyadi was baptized and became a member of a local Christian church. Although he faces many obstacles to practicing his faith, Suyadi makes it a point to share his faith with his friends who don't know the Lord.
Mongolia: A Modern Day Acts
The growth of the Christian Church in this land-locked country of 2.6 million is not unlike the growth of the early Church. And in a nomadic country like Mongolia, radio is remarkably efficient at reaching people with the Gospel.
New churches are springing up, established by listeners eager to learn more about the Bible and God's gift of salvation. And FEBC is grateful to be at the forefront of bringing people to Christ and mentoring new Christians, like Ulziidelger, a 42-year-old woman who wrote the following letter:
"Not long ago I heard the Good News on the radio for the first time. I'd never before heard anything about God. I'm so thankful for those who share the Good News."
"Before long, I started attending the Bible training offered at the radio station every Saturday, and my understanding grew deeper."
Vietnam: Partnering with Local Churches
Only 2% of Vietnamese people know that Jesus is their Savior, making this economically developing, politically unpredictable, religiously pagan country one of the world's largest mission fields.
And that's why we're there, sharing Christ with new technology that's allowing the Word of God to spread like wildfire through cities, rural areas and remote mountainous villages. Even we are astounded at the success of our speaker boxes and cell phone chips distributed by partnering churches!
Listeners no longer have to wait for a daily or weekly broadcast, but can grow in their faith many hours a day. And when they've finished listening to a 32-hour Christian program chip, they can trade it in for a new one. We've received a number of letters and texts from listeners, attesting to the benefits of this new delivery method.
"I'd like to thank you for sending me the speaker box and Bible teaching card. I thank God for giving you the creative idea to offer Christ-centered messages this way. It's especially helpful for older people like myself who don't own a computer. With this device, I can now study God's Word every day which helps me grow spiritually. And the other day I brought the device to church and introduced it to new believers."
New Radios Are on Their Way
Through your generosity FEBC distributes radios where we know they'll have the greatest impact. Not surprisingly, those who learn about Jesus through the radio often become "radio missionaries" themselves and use their own radio to help others hear the Gospel.
Last year you helped us provide 14,275 radios to places like China, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Russia. This year we received an urgent request for 15,000 more. So far, your recent support made it possible for us to distribute over 450 radios to those eager to hear the life-saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, such as this man from Indonesia:
"I'm so thankful God answered my prayers and sent me a radio. Now I can listen to spiritual programs that broaden my knowledge, especially as I try to minister to the people of my village. There are still so many who need a radio, especially in remote areas like mine. I only regret I could not thank you sooner, but the nearest post office is two days away from my village."
Thank you for helping FEBC share the message of Christ with so many people who are hard to reach due to geographic, political, or religious restrictions. Because of you, hearts are being mended and lives are being changed…forever!

Budgeting for new initiatives can often be challenging. This is true for food safety and traceability software, even as the consequences and long-term impact of not acting now are greater than ever.
Join FoodLogiQ for a live demo on Tuesday, October 30th, 2018 at 2:00 pm ET and learn how you can make the case for food safety and traceability software and get C-Suite buy-in.
The only effective way to manage traceability and ensure all parties are on the same page is by committing to a centralized system, such as one centered on supply chain traceability software, and a more modern process.
By implementing food safety and traceability software, you can ensure all parties are following through on food safety and quality compliance and cease to do business with those that aren't.
Unfortunately for supply chain and food safety personnel, persuading the leadership team to invest in this solution can be a challenge.

Seller Submission: 2002 Porsche Boxster S
Low miles - only 75k miles (will go up as it is daily driven)
Engine was replaced around 50k miles (records included), so there are about 25k miles on the current motor. This is the primary reason I purchased the car. Have chosen not to do the IMS fix as a result.
Body is great; no dings, typical scratches for a car of this age.
Interior is 6/10; there is some typical aging of the leather seats. Switchgear is OK; nothing is falling out. Everything works.
Wheels are good, some curbing but not outrageous.
No warning lights!
"S" model gets the 250 hp and the bigger wheels and cool red calipers over the drilled 911 rotors.
Car was just re-aligned prior to sale so she runs straight
My local Porsche indie recommends a new clutch soon, so I'm lowering the asking and open to offers to give buyers room for that
Passenger side mirror cover trim is loose
Left knob guage cluster knob is broken (prior to my ownership). Never got around to replacing it.
Plastic window is hazy, and there's a section that's coming apart on the passenger side. Will eventually need replacing
One of the previous owners installed an aftermarket satellite radio system. Still sounds awful.
The battery runs down after about 3 days sitting, so I have it on a trickle charger.
Have only one key
Under my ownership, I've done an oil change and replaced the fuel pump. I drive spiritedly but I do respect the car and do not rev aggressively until operating temps are reached. The car's done about 5,000 miles a year, and I've done even less at 4,000 in the year I've had it. I really would love to keep her as the 986S's offer some of the best undiluted driving experiences around. I just can't justify having two Porsches at this point in my life. Ask my wife. =)

Kinda pricey! Kelly Blue Book says 8 grand.ReplyDelete
After 2009, no worries about IMS bearing, so why buy earlier?ReplyDelete
Poor guy.just trying to unload it..give him some love.ReplyDelete
lol thanks DT for the opportunity! No worries, Woodie; I've lobbed a grenade or two over cars listed on the interwebs. That said, this is a great example. And if you can get that KBB price of $8k on a Boxster S with 75k miles and decent condition...do it! These are great driver's cars and a real pleasure to drive both on a commute and in the twisties.ReplyDelete

We've lived in Montana for a few years now, and Roy has definitely taken advantage of the hunting and fishing the state has to offer. He's provided us with venison, elk, bear, antelope, and an abundance of trout! But a new milestone was reached the other week when he caught his first Kokanee salmon!
We've had people tell us they don't even eat trout anymore, but instead just eat the salmon. We were a little skeptical since we find some of the big, meaty trout has a salmon-like texture and flavor. And we also like the smaller trout wrapped in foil and thrown on the grill or over a campfire! Warmer weather is almost here so we can do that again!

I have successfully been gluten free for over two years. In those two years, I have learned many things about eating gluten free and food in general. I have learned how to read ingredient labels on foods to understand what is in the foods I am consuming. I have learned how cook gluten free. Best of all, I have been exposed to an amazing gluten free community.
One inspirational Gluten Free Guru that I have had the opportunity to meet, discuss food preparation and learn a ton of valuable information from is Kathy Smart. I was invited to attend an event back in March called the Mompreneur conference. It sounded like a great conference, full of inspirational Mother and business women. What I didn't realize was that I would meet gluten free guru, Kathy Smart. Kathy Smart is a holistic chef with a passion of cooking great tasting foods. With a background in both nutrition and personal training and an individual with Celiac Disease, Kathy is able to understand how to take gluten free foods and mold them into meals where flavour is not compromised.
I was lucky to have the opportunity to sit down with Kathy and discuss eating challenges I personally experience. Having a degree in Kinesiology, I am familiar with how food fuels the body and the importance of eating and eating healthy. My problem is that I am a busy Mom of three constantly on the go. I manage to grab breakfast in the mornings and try to eat a family meal at dinner, but I often avoid/miss/don't take the time for lunch. Kathy showed me her cookbook Live the Smart Way: gluten-free & wheat-free cookbook and it was love at first site. With over 90 simple and delicious recipes, I was given the tools I needed to create fantastic, nutritious meals for my family and me.
Live the Smart way: gluten-free and wheat-free Cookbook by Kathy Smart
This is a fantastic cookbook. The recipes are simple, inviting and very tasty. Each page has a well laid out recipe, smart facts (which tell you why Kathy selected this recipe), recipe highlights (which alert you to any other allergy components) and a nutritional analysis of the meal itself. From breakfasts to lunches, dinners to dessert, this cookbook has you covered for every meal. I think my favourite part about the book is not the amazing recipes, but rather the reference section at the back. In this section, Kathy discusses different substitutions for commonly used gluten products, she explains the difference between celiac disease and gluten intolerant and she provides you with tips for gluten free baking. I have read this section over many times. Whenever I'm unsure of a flour or seed called for in a recipe, I simply flip here and it is well explained.
This week's Food Friday recipe is a recipe from Kathy's book
Citrus Infused Carrot Soup
|Food Friday ~ Citrus infused Carrot Soup by @Smart_Kitchen

FT Island Files Lawsuit Against Cosmetic Company
FT Island has filed a lawsuit against a cosmetic company, according to the band's management agency FNC Entertainment. Local news agencies reported a statement from FNC Entertainment saying, "FT Island has filed a claim for damages from Dereon Cosmetics (brand BaviPhat) at the Seoul Central District Court on February 24."
The suit came from Barbie Pet's use of the commercials and images of FT Island beyond the contract period. FT Island was on a six-month contract with Barbie Pet as the brand's model in Korea beginning April 2011. The contract expired on December 19, but Barbie Pet had continued to use the materials bearing FT Island's images. Barbie Pet had even used them for advertising in Malaysia, Japan and other Asian countries, which was not part of the agreement.
FNC Entertainment seeks 40 million won (around USD 40,000) in damages per member, bringing the total suit to 200 million won (around USD 200,000) for the five-member band.
FT Island is currently promoting their fourth mini-album "Grown Up," featuring the title track "Severely."

What Would You Stash in your Survival Cache?
Guest posted a topic in Survival CacheThanks to sailorman2010 at Northwest Firearms forums for the following post I borrowed, I thought it would be a good starting place for this thread to get folks thoughts on this. The original link is here: "What would you stash in your survival cache?" "Hello. I hope everyone is recovering nicely from the long weekend and turkey day. I've been thinking about a buried survival cache for the last six months. I want to get feedback from people that have done it themselves-buried weapons, clothes, storage food, etc? I would also like to know what kind/type of containers people used-PVC pipe? Hard case? Barrels? Also, I know locating and environment is factor when burring a cache. A person would want to locate in a place where it wouldn't be easily found by others, but would be easy to find for them when returning to it. Nor, put it in a place where it would be sitting in the water table for six months of the year (unless you took pre-cautions for this) or about to be logged/developed. I've been working on a list as of late. It's a work in progress and is in no way in its final stages of being complete. I would like to add this, most likely it would be made for two people (hence the two ALICE packs), but also I thought it could be nearby a camp/hide. Also, if just one person uses it (me), it could be a stash location where I come back as needed for supplies and exchange items. I thought of a few scenarios. One more thing, I know I didn't add any weapons to the list. That is separate thing I am working on: to cache a rifle, pistol, ammo and supplies. Ideas for this would be nice too! Here's my list: • One Hardig (hard-case/water proof) electronics box • Plastic storage bags/Mylar bags/food-saver bags-sealed • Oxygen absorbers/moisture absorbers? • Silicone for hard-case • First Aid kit • Two sets clothes (warm/cold) • 1 Large ALICE pack/1 medium • Coat or Rain gear • Boots (waterproof/thinsulate) • Socks/underwear • Gloves (leather & insulated pair) • Flash light/head lamp • Glow sticks • Small camp stove (one burner)/Swiss army volcano stove • Fuel/fuel tablets • FOOD o MRE's o Freeze dried assortment o Canned meat? • Water Storage o Camel bak o Canteens o 2.5gal water bags o Purification tablets/filters • Sleeping bag w/all weather cover • Tarp (brown 6x8) • Para-cord • Gerber Hatchet/Saw/Shovel set (small) • Leatherman • Good knife (x2) • Hand & feet warmers • FIRE o Lighter o Matches o Flint o Steel wool o Tinder " end quote

Bath Time?
You can really get a hint when its bath time, when you go to take off your gray socks and realize that you don't own any gray socks. And remember... Laissez les bon temps rouler! And as always, thanks for listening!
