Lana Coc-Kroft and her all female Extreme Team swing, fall and paddle their way through this episode from their primetime, extreme sports TV series. There's a guest appearance from actor Kevin Smith who enthusiastically investigates bridge swinging with Jayne Mitchell (near Masterton). Lana forgets her fear of heights for long enough to take a tandem sky dive and check out the sport of sky surfing — and Emma Barry and Katrina Misa keep their feet much closer to the ground, but get them wet, on a canoe safari down the Whanganui River.
With The Free Man, genre-hopping director Toa Fraser (The Dead Lands) takes on the world of extreme sport. The globetrotting documentary is built around encounters between Kiwi freestyle skier Jossi Wells and The Flying Frenchies, known for their base jumps, wingsuit flying and tightrope walks at terrifying heights. As Wells gets direct experience in the art of walking a highline, director Fraser investigates what adrenaline junkies gain — and lose — when putting their lives on the line. The Free Man got its Kiwi premiere during the 2017 NZ International Film Festival.
Off the Edge was director Michael Firth's ode to the exhilaration of adventuring on the spine of New Zealand's Southern Alps. Something of a snowy Endless Summer, the film follows an American and a Canadian as they ski, hang glide, climb and delve beneath glaciers, in the Aoraki-Mt Cook area. Thrilling footage amidst spectacular scenery was shot over two seasons, where extreme weather and geography meant few chances for second takes. The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary in 1977. The Los Angeles Times called it "beautiful and awesome".
From the school of "don't try this at home" television, this Touchdown Productions-devised show put extreme sports in primetime for two series with presenters including Lana Coc-Kroft, Brent Todd and Wendy Botha-Todd (then husband and wife), and comedian Phil Vaughan running, jumping, riding, climbing and generally risking life and limb in the interests of adrenaline and ratings. A third series, produced by TVNZ, saw Coc-Kroft joined by the lycra-clad Extreme Team of models and athletes Jayne Mitchell, Emma Barry, Katrina Misa and Nicola Brighty.
"Balls, bungy and videotape" is the tagline for this Loading Docs short film. The Jump celebrates the DIY spirit of unsung Kiwi hero Chris Sigglekow — who leapt off a bridge in jeans in 1980 for arguably the first modern bungy jump. Sigglekow recalls, and VHS footage shows, the pioneering jumps: from a boxing bag, to his and AJ Hackett's famous Auckland Harbour Bridge leap. The first doco by ad director Alex Sutherland, Jump won 140,000+ views when it was made a Vimeo Staff Pick, and it was shared by surfing legend Laird Hamilton. Caution: contains Stubbies and Speedos.
Michael Firth's follow-up to his 1977 Oscar-nominated ski documentary Off the Edge, but this time with a plot and scripted dialogue. Canadian Matt hitches from Auckland to meet a bunch of Kiwi extreme thrill-seekers at a southern ski field. They throw themselves off volcanoes, glaciers, mountains and into an Iron Man with "get more go" abandon. Cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh's first feature shoot — "I was relatively cheap and I could ski" — is notable for its action sequences (set to an 80s pop soundtrack) and Billy T James as a mad pilot.
Irreverent 90s youth show hosts Mikey Havoc and Jeremy 'Newsboy' Wells went on the road in this hit series. Down south they infamously outed Gore as the "gay capital of New Zealand". While many viewers had a laugh at the Auckland duo's lampooning of small town conservatism, some took the bait and were not amused by Newsboy's "gay man's Gore" moniker, preferring to tout the town's trout fishing, line-dancing and country music. The mischievous pair also visit Dunedin, Fox Glacier and Queenstown, where they 'promote' attractions and meet base jumper Chuck Berry.
"It's more than just a sport: it's honour, glory, victory." This 2016 Loading Doc follows knight-in-waiting Martainn Cuff as he and his Steel Thorns team prepare for battle in the "misunderstood sport" of full contact medieval combat. The Taranaki ex-soldier carries 33 kilograms of armour and the burden of a leadership role into the fray, at the national champs. The short documentary was made by Ryan Heron and Andy Deere, who were Whanganui school friends of Cuff's. Heron and Deere direct commercials; they previously teamed up for award-winning short comedy Return.
Peter Jackson has gone from shy fanboy to master of his craft; from Pukerua Bay to Wellywood. With six journeys into Middle-earth now behind him, he has few peers in the realm of large scale filmmaking. Led by early 'behind the scenes' docos this collection pays tribute to PJ's journey, from re-making King Kong in his backyard to err ... re-making King Kong in his backyard.
Producer/director Michael Firth first made his mark directing ski movie Off the Edge. A key early film in the NZ 'new wave', the documentary earned an Academy Award nomination in 1977. Firth went on to direct dramatic features Sylvia, Heart of the Stag and Vulcan Lane. But he loved the outdoors best: he went off the edge again in 1987 with zany adventure movie The Leading Edge, and was behind internationally successful TV series Adrenalize and fishing show Take the Bait.

Habitat funding
GCJV staff work with partners to identify sources of funding for projects that contribute to GCJV habitat objectives. Some of these funding sources are listed below. GCJV Initiative Teams are useful forums to identify partnership and funding opportunites.
C-GRIP provides financial incentives to private landowners for conducting habitat treatments that address the greatest limiting factors for suitability of grassland bird habitat on their property.
The Grassland Restoration Incentive Program was first implemented in 2013 by the Oaks and Prairies Joint Venture in the Edwards Plateau and the Oaks and Prairies Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) of Texas and Oklahoma. In 2017, the GRIP was expanded to the Tamaulipan Brushlands BCR by the Rio Grande Joint Venture. Now, in 2018 the GCJV is implementing C-GRIP in the central section of coastal Texas. C-GRIP provides financial incentives to private landowners for conducting habitat treatments that address the greatest limiting factor(s) to provide suitable grassland bird habitat on their property. Modeled after the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Environmental Quality Incentive Program and other similar programs, C-GRIP is a voluntary program that reimburses private landowners a set payment rate for identified practices that generally fall into the categories of brush management, prescribed burning, native grass reseeding, and prescribed grazing.
The Coastal Impact Assistance Program helps oil producing states mitigate impacts from Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas production. CIAP funds can be used to conserve, restore, or protect coastal areas, including wetlands; mitigate damage to fish and wildlife habitat and natural resources; conduct planning; implement approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive management plans; and mitigate oil and gas production by funding infrastructure projects and public service needs. The following links provide further information regarding the implementation of CIAP in each of the GCJV states.
The Coastal Prairie Conservation Initiative is a cooperative effort undertaken by several agencies, organizations, and private landowners to conserve, restore, and enhance prairie in 19 counties along the Texas coast.
Projects are initially identified and nominated through public meetings at local and regional levels.

The North American Wetlands Conservation Act of 1989 was passed, in part, to support the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP). NAWCA provides matching grants to partnering organizations and individuals for the conservation of wetlands in the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the benefit of wetlands-associated birds and other wildlife. NAWCA is particularly well-suited to fund wetland priorities of bird habitat joint ventures. Funds may only be used for wetlands acquisition, creation, enhancement and/or restoration and a 50/50 non-federal match is required.
NAWCA Standard Grants
The NAWCA Standard Grants Program is a matching grants program that supports public-private projects in Canada, United States, and Mexico. These competitive projects must involve long-term protection, restoration, and/or enhancement of wetlands and associate uplands habitats. Standard Grant awards range from $75,001 to $1,000,000. Grants are awarded semi-annually, and deadlines are typically early spring and summer.
NAWCA Small Grants
The NAWCA Small Grants Program is similar to the Standard Grant Program in that grants are awarded to individuals and/or organizations that partner to carry out projects involving long-term protection, restoration, and/or enhancement of wetlands and their associated uplands habitats. The maximum award amount for small grants is $75,000, and they only apply to projects in the United States. Funding priority is given to grantees or partners new to NAWCA's grants programs. Grants are awarded annually, and the deadline is typically in the fall..

To Vape or Not to Vape: What to Do When Cravings Strike While in Public
Vaping can be a great way to help you quit smoking: not only are electronic cigarettes considerably safer than using traditional tobacco, there are still many places where vaping is okay even though cigarettes are not, so you can control your cravings.
But vaping is not really 100% cool to do anywhere that you please. There is a certain etiquette that all users of electronic cigarettes should follow to determine when and where they can vape. Here;s a quick guide to that etiquette so you can still enjoy using your electronic cigarette without making others feel uncomfortable.
Pay Attention to Your Surroundings
Sure, most of what you exhale while using an electronic cigarette is harmless water vapor, but there are some establishments that frown upon vaping, just as they do with traditional tobacco.
One of the main reasons an establishment may not allow vaping is because of the smell. One of the advantages of electronic cigarettes is that you can choose from a wide range of flavor additives that give you different vaping experiences (like these from Cuttwood), but others may not want to experience that smell, especially at higher-end restaurants where the smell can interfere with the enjoyment of their food.
There are also places where it's never okay to vape, such as movie theaters and public transportation. These are considered "no" zones for vapers and you should never use your electronic cigarette in these places.
If you are unsure about vaping in a certain place, just ask an employee or manager and they will tell you their policy.
Don't Forget Your Social Situation
Again, you can think of your electronic cigarette like a real cigarette: it's probably best not to use it in social situations where you wouldn't smoke tobacco.
This means that you should keep your device in your pocket if you are attending a function with children present, or if you are at someone's house who has children or pets. Also, take care to vape around non-smokers as they may still not enjoy it. Finally, watch out for people who are trying to quit smoking: seeing you vape may make their cravings harder to fight.
Of course, if someone asks you about your device, you can tell them about the benefits and why you like using it. It may help others quit using real tobacco.
Be Courteous
The proper vaping etiquette all boils down to being considerate of others. Don't assume it's okay to use your electronic cigarette, and if you are unsure, always ask. If you really want to vape, you can always step outside for a few minutes. Being courteous about your habit will show others that it's better than smoking real tobacco and may make it easier for others who choose to vape. And if someone asks you not to vape, please respect their wishes.
Vaping can be a great alternative for tobacco users, but there is an etiquette involved that all should follow.

Court to frame charges against Salman Khan in October
September 26, 2003 18:45 IST
Last Updated: September 26, 2003 21:01 IST
Expressing unhappiness over the delay caused by the prosecution, a Mumbai magistrate on Friday asked actor Salman Khan to appear before him in a hit-and-run case on October six for framing charges.
The actor is accused of killing one person and injuring four after his vehicle ran over the pavement in suburban Bandra on September 28 last year.
Salman on Friday appeared before Magistrate S Y Sishode and said he was ready for a trial. However, prosecutor R S Khandekar said the case papers had not yet arrived from the sessions court. Moreover, he argued, there was no urgency as several cases had been pending since 1995.
Salman's lawyer Dipesh Mehta objected to the prosecution's attitude and referred to the high court order, which had dropped the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and directed the magistrate to frame other charges.
He said a sessions court had already framed charges against Salman on May 2 and summoned witnesses on July 2 for trial. However, after the high court dropped the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, the case was sent back to the magistrate as he alone was competent to try the other charges.
The magistrate directed the prosecution to be ready on October six for framing charges against the accused. Incidentally, he said it was 'unfortunate' that police officers from the concerned police station had not come to the court.
Salman, who had come to the court along with his sister and a friend, appeared calm and composed. When the magistrate inquired about him, he rose from his seat and bowed. Outside, fans had gathered for a glimpse of the actor.
Recap: Upholding the prosecution's step to frame the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against Salman, the magistrate had last year referred the case to a sessions court for trial as he was not competent to try him (considering the charges against the accused).
The actor had opposed the charge in a sessions court, which rejected his plea. He moved the Bombay high court, which dropped the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder but retained the other charges. In keeping with this directive, the sessions court remanded the matter back to the magistrate saying he is competent to try the actor for the charges he is currently facing.
Salman is charged under sections 304 A (causing death by negligence), 279 (rash driving), 337 (causing injury), 338 (causing grievous hurt) and 427 (causing damage by mischief) of the India Penal Code.
He is also charged under several sections of the Motor Vehicles Act besides section 66(1)(b) of the Bombay Prohibition Act.

How Banks Take A Big Bite Out Of Government Benefits
Consumers witnessed a victory this week when Bank of America backed off its threat to institute a $5 fee for using a debit card, following a public outcry that led most of the other big banks to foreswear similar moves. But not everyone has been spared debit card fees. As Janell Ross pointed out at The Huffington Post yesterday, banks are making nice profits from doling out government benefits through prepaid debit cards.
It's obvious that in a sour economy like ours, usage of programs like unemployment benefits, food stamps, and cash assistance will skyrocket. It used to be that most of these programs distributed actual money to beneficiaries. Food stamps were quite literally stamps. These days, however, things have been 'modernized' so that many benefits come through prepaid debit cards administered by banks like JP Morgan, Bank of America, and other behemoths.
So what's the problem? Doesn't this just make it more convenient for users? Isn't plastic easier than cash?
The first problem is that users, who are clearly already strapped for cash if they're turning to government benefits, are finding themselves hit with fees for using the cards. As an example, Ross points to one analysis that California families will pay over $16 million in surcharges to access benefits this year. While there has been a lot of action around limiting swipe fees and much outrage at charging customers to use regular debit cards, prepaid debit cards are a whole other animal. Even consumers using them to access their privately earned money may be charged for buying the cards, swiping the cards, and withdrawing money. And people getting benefits through them aren't any exception: They face charges for withdrawing money too many times, using an out-of-network ATM, drawing more money than is in the account, leaving the card inactive for a certain period of time, and some even charge per purchase.

Could Red Dead Redemption 2 Have Its Own Battle Royale Mode?
Red Dead Redemption is without a doubt one of the biggest game releases of 2018. From what I have read the 26th of October release date is pretty set in stone and there is going to be no delay at all.
The first Red Dead Redemption is amazing. I would go as far as to say that it has one of the greatest stories ever told in a video game. From the beginning all the way to the end you are truly invested in the story of John Marston. Red Dead Redemption 2 is set before the events of the first game and I have no doubt it will be just as story driven as the first game.
While I could not be any more excited and while Rockstar is not a company to just follow what others are doing. I have been thinking, what if Red Dead Redemption 2 had a Battle Royale mode? The first Red Dead Redemption game did have an online multiplayer mode, but to be honest I could count on one hand how many times I played it.
However, a game mode where it is every lawbreaker (or lawman) for themselves in the wild west could be truly epic. Having to find supplies from small towns, raiding camps and so on to get weapons and in general just doing all you can to prove that you are the best gunslinger in the old west.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is without a doubt a game that is being sold on the strength of its story and large open world, but I think having a multiplayer mode like this would be a fun distraction. Plus look at the phenomenal success they have had with Grand Theft Auto Online! I am sure that Rockstar must have their eye on a similar kind of success with Red Dead Redemption 2.
I would love to know what you guys think about Red Dead Redemption 2 having some kind of Battle Royale mode.

text: Tuesday 31 December 2013 Centre director consulted by FA Commission LMCFR director Dr Richard Elliott was invited to Wembley Stadium last week to meet with members of the FA Commission. The Commission, which has been formed to examine issues relating to the numbers of English players playing at the highest levels of club football, is calling on a range of experts as part of a knowledge gathering process. Richard, an expert on foreign player involvement in professional football, was asked questions about a number of research projects that he has conducted in the past decade. He was also asked about more general issues in respect of youth development, another area that he has studied in recent years. Richard says: "I'm really pleased to have been given the opportunity to share my views with the FA Commission. I hope that my work will help them to better understand the complexities of foreign player involvement and its effects on youth and national team development." Graduate takes up dual role in professional game Football studies graduate Zaheer Shah has secured employment with not one, but two professional clubs as he seeks to develop his career in the game. Zaheer, who graduated in 2012, has taken up posts as coach at Watford FC and performance analyst at Brentford FC. At Brentford, Zaheer joins Luke Lazenby, another Solent football studies graduate. Discussing the value of his degree in preparing him for his roles, Zaheer said: "Studying football studies at Solent University prepared me well for the challenges that I have had to overcome during my time with Watford FC and Brentford FC. The lecturers demand high standards and a solid work ethic. I would recommend the course to anyone who has a willingness to learn about the sport in-depth and network with industry professionals who will challenge you in preparation for life post-university."

Triglav a accéléré ses processus de reporting et de clôture comptable à travers toutes ses entités.
CCH Tagetik a simplifié le processus complexe de consolidation de Triglav avec leurs 50 entités, des devises et secteurs multiples en réduisant leur cycle de clôture de façon significative.
Triglav is a really complex group… the process was totally manual, we used Excel spreadsheets, sending them by email, collecting the data … it was really a painful process.
8 years ago it took us half a year to do the annual consolidated financial statements, we finished our process at the end of June and we were only able to do it once a year, because it was really a time consuming process.
The saddest thing was that at the end of this period, we were only able … just to publish the financial statements, we didn't get actually too much time to analyze, to check all the financial data, so this was really a painful process.
We chose CCH Tagetik and it made our lives simple, to get to the bottom line… now we finish our consolidation process 1 month after the reporting period and we are able to do it on a monthly basis, we publish our financial statements one month after the reporting period, each quarter.
We also use CDM for writing the documents … it's really nice because several people can do it at the same time.
… Because it was simple, it was the only program which used Excel spreadsheets as interface, so for the entities, practically, nothing changed.
It's fast: subsidiaries have, approximately, one day to do everything, to fill in the data, to do the intercompany reconciliations, to finish all the reporting process for themselves, but the nicest thing for me is that I don't have to wait for the last company or entity to report, I can start the procedure of consolidation.
Now I'm happy because also the management and other departments found it really, really helpful and then, after some time also our financial department started using CCH Tagetik for their processes.
Now, it's really simple and it's so simple that even CFO and all board members are able to use it, because it's simple.

Sex Trafficking: A Private Law Response examines existing and potential causes of action against sex traffickers, clients and the state and argues for fair and effective private law remedies. Combining a theoretical inquiry about the borders of liability in torts and restitution with a political commitment to protecting the interests of victims of sex trafficking, this book offers a comparative doctrinal and socio-legal analysis of private law remedies, their justification, and their effectiveness. Tsachi Keren-Paz innovatively and convincingly makes the argument that all those directly involved in breaching the rights of victims of sex trafficking should compensate them for their losses, and make restitution of the profits made at their expense. Sex Trafficking: A Private Law Response will be invaluable to both academics and practitioners concerned with prostitution, modern slavery and trafficking, and those interested in private law theory and practice.
"In summary, Keren-Paz provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the ways in which private law can be used to address sex trafficking which will be of interest to anti-trafficking scholars and activists, and private law theorists."
N. Godden , Newcastle University, UK
Chapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Potential responses, and the experience thus far; Chapter 3 Restitution from traffickers; Chapter 4 Restitution from the state; Chapter 5 Clients' liability for direct contact: battery and conversion; Chapter 6 Clients' negligence in contributing to trafficking: duty ; Chapter 7 Breach; Chapter 8 Causation; Chapter 9 Practical challenges: access to justice, evidence, recovery; Chapter 10 Conclusion: the promise of private law

Charlie's Birdliving the dream with Charlie and Thandi and chirping all the way back to the nest.
Archive for September, 2010
Day 32
…and we're off, with a bang! Busy day yesterday, actually made it to scrapbooking for the first time in about 2 months, back to the hospital after that, then eventually home, and today seems to be shaping up pretty much the same. At work early, sorting out a few problem patients, then off to the state hospital for my monthly clinic there, which was double, because of the strike, then back to labour ward, and now back to the rooms for 12 patients in 6 appointments, then its off to theatre again, with 2 in labour! Crikey.
I have to say that this has been one of the wierdest times of my life. I'm feeling incredibly isolated, and I know that's just wierd. I can't explain it, don't understand why, but I do. And the scan is starting to loom ahead in my brain, and my anxiety levels are rising again, I wonder if I'll actually enjoy any of this, or if its just 40 weeks of anxiety that trash my already fragile heart. Ai…
Day 31
…and I'm tired. It seems the insomnia bug has struck again… last night I didn't get much sleep, I tossed and turned, mmbled and grumbled. And today has been insanely busy already. Oy vey! I was in theatre this morning, 7 cases done in 5 hours, not bad going, but lots of pressure on me! Anyway, now I am in the rooms, awaiting the onslaught of 18 patients in 9 appointments…
Forgive me for not having much to say, I just don't have the energy.
Day 30
…and nothing seems very real. I'm in a bit of a funk, not sure why, while I am extremely grateful to be here, I am still reeling with what an awful thing this is to go through, the whole IVF thing, that is, and all these bloody awful medicines I have to (still) use, its all pretty horrible. Tomorrow will be better, I hope. And early June will be incredible. Today I'm in the grumps. Anyone got some worms for me?
Day 29
…and the repeat results are in, and we're going up appropriately! Thursday, the level was 32, so with it having to increase 66% every 2 days, I was hoping for a value in the region of 100, and I got 156! Hooray! I am really really chuffed today:-D
Day 28
…and we are back from the mountains and forests. Wow, what a lekka weekend, very relaxing and easy going. On friday we headed to the forests via the mountains, making a 3 hour trip out of a direct route which would have taken 40 minutes, but it was so worth it. The mountains were shrouded in mist, rain fell gently and it was freezing at about 10 degrees, we stopped at one of our favourite spots on the edge of the mountains for lunch and settled next to a log fire, and were spoilt with a delicious toasted sarmie – very much a gourmet sarmie. Then it was over the mountain and not so far away to the forests, and what a special little weekend it was, we checked in at our quaint little country hotel, and defrosted next to the fire in the bar area, books in hand, now that's my idea of pleasure. Saturday morning after the fll english breakfast, we headed into the forest and did a gentle walk in amongst the trees, getting to some sadly very dry waterfalls. Wow, the whole area can only be described as parched… The rest of saturday was spent dozing, reading, dreaming…. Today my folks travelled through from home and joined us for a lovely roast lunch – don't have that too often anymore these days, so that was a treat.
Just a couple of piccies from our weekend.
In other news, I'm still quite crampy, but since I tell patients that that is normal, I guess I must deal with it. Tomorrow I will test again, and we're hoping for a good rise in the BHCG levels, I'll keep you all posted! I'm very anxious too, I know we still have many pass/fail points to get through, but I'm excited to be here, 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant!
Day 26
…and our cheeks are sore, from the smiles that have been plastered on our faces!
Its such a special moment, it isn't free of anxiety though, and the repeat test looms, but for now, we're celebrating this moment. We're now proven pregnant, no longer PUPO! We're off to the mountains and forests today for a bit of a break away, and I hope its going to be good, sure it will be. I'll chat again on sunday evening, you all have good heritage days now!
So the thing is…
So it's quite a thing when your doctor calls you and says he can't cope any more and needs to know if you're pregnant or not. And it's even more of a thing when you do that test (with some grumbling because your day tomorrow has been planned around this test) and that test is POSITIVE!
Charlie and I are speechless, grateful and awestruck! Thank you for all the spport and cheers from the sidelines! And thank you, for answered prayers.

Horsing Around
Filed under Local Agriculture, Outside
And now…
…back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Josh Meets the Horses
Can you believe how big Isabelle is? She's 10 months old and is a spotted Shire, so she's not done growing yet. For reference, my dad is 6'4″. She's a typical teenager who sneaks out at night and misbehaves. Annabelle does her best to keep her baby in line, but I keep my distance with my baby.
Vinny is a gentle giant, and I feel much more comfortable around him with the baby. Again for reference, I'm 5'7″. He's a Dapple Gray Percheron and has squabbles with the girls, so he gets a pen to himself. His teammate Bill died this year, so he's on his own.
Getting out to visit at the farm was just what we needed tonight!
Filed under Local Agriculture, Outside
Horse Pictures!
Isabelle is almost 7 months old now, and I'm 32 weeks pregnant. Due to both of those facts, it's a little bit too dangerous for me to go in her pen now. She's frisky, and I'm not in any shape to dodge her high kicks and air jumps!
Duke loves to get in on the action and visit with Annabelle and Isabelle.
Isabelle and Dukie are friends, even if he is jealous of the attention she gets.
Thanks for the pictures, Mom!
Filed under Local Agriculture
Goodbye, Bill
Bill passed away overnight. My dad and uncle buried him inside the horse pasture by the pond. As I said before, Bill had many tumors, had begun to act unlike himself, and we expected him to go soon. He'll be missed, but we're happy he's not suffering anymore.
Filed under Local Agriculture
Big Girl!
Isabelle was born on June 25, and it's so amazing to see how much she's grown in the last four months. She loves to run when she gets out to the pasture, and she nibbles at hay and grass like her mom. She's frisky, and it's clear we'll have to get a bit in her mouth to train her soon, as she's realized she's bigger and stronger than her humans, and even nipped my brother on the arm before bounding through the open gate. She's still nursing, and it's amazing how much weight Annabelle has lost. The vet spoke to us about weaning her, about how if she doesn't stop nursing on her own, we'll have to separate the two of them until Annabelle's milk dries up. He said we'll risk having a full-grown nursing horse if we don't start to wean her around six months.
To behonest, I disagree. I see the bond between mother and baby, and I don't want to have them separated. Our draft teams, Bob and Duke, were full brothers and they hated to be separated, even for a short period of time like having a bath. They'd call to each other, and it would be clear that they were nervous. I can only imagine how that would be magnified to separate mother from baby. Isabelle is Annabelle's third foal, but both of her others were sold, and while I don't know much about thought processes in horses, I would imagine Annabelle would think Isabelle was going to disappear forever, too. That's not the case, however, we plan to keep both of them together, and breed Annabelle again so that Isabelle and the new baby can be a team. So, I hope that Isabelle will wean herself or Annabelle will stop allowing her to nurse on demand. Either way, I hope we don't have to separate them.
Isabelle and Annabelle became the star attractions of the petting zoo at the farm this summer and fall. They had a double fence, with electric on the inside, so people couldn't pet them, but still, everyone loved visiting with them. Parents and children read the signs to learn about draft horses, Shires, and Isabelle's birth. Even when Annabelle kept her baby in the shade of the barn during the hot day, people would wait to see them come out and graze. Annabelle's a wonderful mom, and when Isabelle takes a nap, she stands over her and guards her while she sleeps. In fact, nap time is the only time I think Annabelle has something more important on her mind than food.
We're so happy to have added these two horses to our family, and looking back, it's hard to imagine life without them.

Horse Tales: Isabelle's First Vet Visit
Isabelle turned 7 weeks old today, and she also had her first visit from the vet. Look how big she's gotten in only 7 weeks! For comparison, her mom, Annabelle, is 18 hands.
Of course Dukie was there to look on, jealous that all the attention wasn't on him. As the vet was leaving, he called Duke "the perfect fat farm dog."
Back to the visit: The vet made friends with her, chatted with us about her birth, training, and eventual weaning, breeding Annabelle again next summer, and the merits of artificial insemination vs. natural. Apparently there's a 30% pregnancy rate with AI as opposed to about an 85-90% pregnancy rate the old-fashioned way. We'd love to breed Annabelle with Isabelle's dad again, but he's out in Michigan. At least we have a year to figure it out! As for Isabelle's checkup, the vet listened to her heartbeat and then gave her a shot for tetanus, West Nile, and Western and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. He said he didn't want to give her too many shots at once, and he'll come back in 4 weeks. When he gave her the shot, my dad scratched her neck, I scratched her rump, and the vet sneakily gave her the shot. She didn't even notice. During the exam, Annabelle munched happily on grain.
As the vet said goodbye to me, he told me he couldn't believe how lucky we were to get such a nice horse from the internet. He said it was like a fairy tale. We agree!

Three Horse Hitch
Bob, Bill, and Vinny
I took this picture 10 years ago when I was a senior in high school. I was in a photography class, and we could only print black and white photos in our darkroom at school. Now, I love that this photo is in black and white.
Bob and Duke were our first team, and you can read about when we got them in "Our First Team". Bob was heartbroken after his brother Duke died of a split intestine when I was a sophomore in high school. We got Bill and Vinny, a new team, and my dad turned the wagon into a three horse hitch, so Bob could stroll along with them. By this time, Bob was older, so he didn't actually pull the wagon, but he was hitched to the other boys and got to feel like he was pulling. Now that Bob's gone, too, we're back to a team of two.
But someday, when baby Isabelle is big enough, we plan to bring back the three horse hitch.

Stanford police have released a sketch of the man they say tried to sexually assault a student on campus.
Police say the man entered an unlocked room on 1018 Campus Dr. around 2 o'clock Sunday morning. He got into bed with a woman in the room and tried to take off her clothes. She woke up and was able to get away unharmed.
The man is Hispanic, in his 20s, approximately 5' 11" and average build. He smelled of cigarette smoke.
This was the second sexual assault incident on the campus that day. Around 1:15 a.m. police say a woman was tackled while walking near Kennedy Grove. A passerby scared the attacker away.
Police do not think the two incidents are related.
They say if you are walking on campus, do not walk alone. Students are asked to keep their doors and windows locked and report any suspicious or criminal activity.

Here is a reprint of an article that came out not long ago in Dujour Magazine. We were interviewed for the article and we hope you find it of interest.
A Surprising Go-To Travel Destination
As relations with the West begin to thaw, Iran is poised to become the location of choice for jet-setting travelers with a taste for the unexpected
Hailing Iran as the next big thing in luxury travel might sound like a Saturday Night Live bit—but just hear us out for a second. Beyond its exotic appeal, the country, which is rapidly strengthening relations with the U.S., has all the trappings of a richly satisfying vacation experience: sprawling ski resorts in Tehran, spectacular shopping in Shiraz and thousands of years of majestic architectural history, from ancient Zoroastrian holy sites to 14th- and 15th-century splendors of the post-Islamic era. With more UNESCO World Heritage sites than any other Arab state by far, the cradle of civilization promises to incite immediate Instagram envy.
Still skeptical? Speak to any American who's visited. They'll likely describe the unparalleled beauty of the mosques and mausoleums—how, in Shiraz for instance, watching day break through the stained-glass windows of Nasir al-Mulk is an experience unlike any other. Or they might rave about the Vakil Bazaar, a 900-year-old market filled with hand-knotted carpets and orderly cones of fragrant spices—the kind of place that will inspire you to take up cooking and redecorate with rich Persian rugs. Then there's the stunning coral coast of Kish Island in the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf, considered one of the most beautiful islands in the world, and the beach resorts of Ramsar on the Caspian sea, otherwise known as the Iranian Riviera.
Beyond the exquisite history and natural beauty, you'll find something even more unexpected: a culture that rejoices at the sight of American visitors. "The Iranian people love Americans," explains Steve Kutay, the founder of Iran Luxury Travel, a North Carolina–based company that plans bespoke tripsfor international clientele. "That's the single biggest surprise for people. I've never been to a place where Americans are that popular." Because American tourists are a rarity—European travelers from France, Germany and Italy are far more common—visitors from the States are treated like celebrities. "As you walk down the street, you'll see locals having picnics anywhere they can find a piece of grass. They'll invite you to drink tea and eat with them. It's very heart-warming," says Kutay. Even the late Christopher Hitchens, who had no love for the regime, was smitten with the hospitality of its people. "Visiting today's Iran," he wrote, "I was delighted to find that citizens made a point of defying the clerical ban on booze, keeping it in their homes for visitors even if they didn't particularly take to it themselves."
There is, of course, an understandable fear that comes with traveling to a country that has semi-regularly declared the U.S. to be the Great Satan. But the reality—at least among those who've been—is quite different from the perception. "When people ask me if it's dangerous, I tell them it isn't nearly as dangerous as going to New Orleans, or Washington, or a lot of other big cities," explains Kutay. "Statistically, there's almost no crime there. There have been a few cases, but by and large, it's very safe."
Traveling to Iran isn't nearly as complicated as one might imagine. Americans are required to book through a tour group or arrange an individual authorized guide, but those regulations are poised to loosen in the coming months. So now's the time to plan your trip—before everyone else catches on.
Yes! You Can...

Yentafo Kruengsonge at Cineleisure originated in Bangkok in 1999; currently there are 28 outlets in Bangkok, and 2 in Laos. Cineleisure houses the first Singapore outlet and two more will soon follow.
"Yen ta fo"–read it out loud–is a dish similar to the yong tou foo we eat except for two parts. They use (1) flat wide rice noodles, like our kway chap rice noodles, in a (2) pink broth.
Both the rice noodles and the pink soup are imported directly from Thailand. Although toppings are sourced in Singapore, the Thai founders have personally come here to try many suppliers, choosing the ones most similar to Bangkok's.
The soup is unlike our yong tou foo's sweet broth, because there is no soya bean in the soup. The savory Thai broth is made by simmering pork bone, radish, and coriander root. It is then tinged with a pink sauce made from fermented red tofu and Thai red rice.
The menu, though small, gives options of both rice and noodle dishes. Their specialty, yentafo, comes in two sizes: yentafo kruengsonge (9 toppings, $8.50) and yentafo (5 toppings, $6.50). You can then choose between dry or soup. And then choose the spice level: dek-dek (not spicy), jai-soh (spicy), and rod-jeb (screaming spicy).
We suggest this combination: Kruengsonge soup jai-soh. The soup adds a depth that the dry version lacks. They didn't tone down the chilli for Singapore and the chilli is damn shiok; The non-spicy one lacks kick.
There are three things that can be improved: the rice noodles stick together and I thought they could give more noodles; and lastly, due to Singapore regulations, they replace pig's blood with grass jelly. The sweet substitution is weird for us.
What receives good reviews all round the table is the original Thai tom yum noodles ($9). It stole the show with its unique and unusually piquant broth, more citrusy than other tom yum. If you're with a friend, I recommend that you order a yentafo kruengsonge and a tom yum to share.
For rice dishes, the nam prik khai poo ($9) comes with fresh and cooked vegetables with a sweet, sour, spicy, curry crab dip. We prefer the gai pad krapow ($8.50), which is a super, super fiery basil chicken. It was so hot that Mr Fitness's face turned red and he sweated profusely after a single bite. Those who can take spicy food should challenge yourself, it will be very shiok.
We tried 3 sides–kratong tong (minced chicken in pastry shell, 6pcs, $5), kao tung rice crisp (4 pcs, $6), and salmon skin ($7)–and we recommend the salmon skin. When you mix the super spicy yum sauce–"yum" is the name of the sauce–over the skin, you can hear the crackling as the skin absorbs the sauce. It still remains crispy. Very addictive.
The traditional Thai desserts served are unusual in Singapore, and may take some getting used to. Santol sweety delight ($5) is made by simmering the fruit, santol, also known as cottonfruit. It has a strange texture which some may dislike; it's mushy and cottony on top, firm like persimmon at the base. It tastes a little like sour plum.
The Nam-wa banana in coconut milk ($5) uses Nam-wa banana grown in central and north-eastern Thailand. Like santol, the texture takes some acculturating; the banana is coarse, not smooth like the ones we eat.
There are two things that Yentafo Kruengsonge does admirably. One, they deliver authentic Thai food unadulterated, not adjusting it to suit local palates, not dumbing down the spice level. Ok, challenge accepted. Go big or go home, right? Secondly, the items are priced very reasonably.

Yes. The only reason we didn't was there is a nominal cost associated with putting it in the Windows App store and we weren't sure there was significant interest. If there appears to be enough demand, we can do that relativity quickly.Cool. I don't particularly understand all of this newfangled telephone business, but is there any possibility of making this available, should it take off, for Windows phones, too, in the future?

I've always sort of prided myself for having a non-judgmental sweet tooth. Meaning, if it's a sweet, I like it. Whether it's artisanal chocolate, or a snickers bar, they both give me a mental 'happy jig'. With that being said though, I've noticed a shift in this all-inclusive sweet mentality of mine. In other words, I've started to become picky. While that's not necessary a bad thing, it has drastically reduced the amount that I indulge in certain sweet groups; one of those being ice cream. And that, my friends, is a problem. Gone are the days when I would buy a gallon of ice-cream for $3.50. Instead, I find myself standing in front of the section offering $6 pints, debating whether or not it's worth it. As much as my palate leans towards that $6/pint, my mind leans toward the $3.50/gallon. It's a mental battle that has left me empty handed far too many times.
As a way to combat this dilemma, I've decided to start a new routine. Each month I'll make a batch of ice cream, which in theory, should last over the course of the month (we'll see how that goes!). My experience with making ice cream is limited to a mere three occasions. The results have been varied, ranging from a perfect batch that had me dreaming of opening an ice-cream shop, to a over churned batch that had basically turned to butter (that's a lesson that I hope to only learn once!) So, along with increasing my ice cream intake, I am also hoping to learn a few tricks along the way.
I'm starting this series with a classic: chocolate. Not just any chocolate, but a bittersweet chocolate with bits of toasted almond. This is a Philadelphia style ice-cream (meaning it has no eggs), but the silky consistency would have you believe otherwise. It is smooth, rich, and indulgently creamy. The addition of the toasted almonds provides an earthy note, as well as a welcome crunch. If you're really looking to amp up the delectable level, then drizzle it with salted caramel sauce…and you'll find yourself in the midst of a major palate party.
*Please note a few tweaks that I made to the recipe:
-Used 1 2/3 c. whole milk and 1 1/3 c. heavy cream; with no detriment to the level of creaminess.
-Omitted the alcohol (somehow we had none from the list!), but again found the result to be more than satisfactory.
-Toasted whole raw almonds for 10 minutes in a 350° degree oven, chopped them, and added 1/4 c. during the last two minutes of churn time.

New York State is famous for its fall foliage- the brilliant transformation of leaf color as temperatures grow colder and there are fewer hours of daylight. Now is the time to see this incredible display. Leaf color is peaking throughout the state.
Changing Every Day
Check out New York State's tourism website to see foliage reports by region.
Near peak and some peak foliage is now coloring the Hudson Valley, the state reported last week.
Leaf spotters in Columbia, Dutchess and Orange counties have predicted 70-75 percent color change. In addition to yellow, bright orange and deep red hued leaves, look for colors like "rich gold" and maroon, and "pumpkin, lime and wine," the state said.
Think about a trip to Bear Mountain State Park to soak in the beauty.
"Rockland County spotters based at Bear Mountain State Park predict 85 percent color change and peak leaves this weekend. Look for bright red, orange and yellow leaves. Also in the county, spotters based in New City expect near peak conditions with 75 percent color change and vibrant colors of purple, orange, red and yellow."
Westchester County was still seeing minimal change last week.
"Expect around 15 percent color change for the weekend with some bright red and orange leaves scattered among the green," reported the state.
Fall color is making significant advances on Long Island.
Spotters based in Melville expected 30-40 percent color change with yellow, orange, red and purple leaves of average brilliance last week. Riverhead spotters predicted 25 percent change and bright yellow, orange and purple leaves.
New York City leaves are changing now!
In New York City, spotters based at Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx expected 10 percent color change with bright red and yellow leaves beginning to appear.
Why Do Leaves Change Color?
The mixture of red, purple, orange and yellow is the result of chemical processes that take place in a tree as the seasons change from summer to winter, explains the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
These chemical processes can be impacted by issues like insufficient water. Tree leaves sometimes change color earlier than usual during drought conditions, scientists note.
During the spring and summer, tree leaves serve as factories where most of the foods necessary for the tree's growth are manufactured. This food-making process takes place in the leaf, in numerous cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaf its green color.
Chlorophyll -an "extraordinary chemical"- absorbs energy from sunlight that is then used to transform carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates, such as sugars and starch.
However, along with green pigment, leaves have yellow to orange [xanthophyll and carotene] pigments which, for example, give the orange color to a carrot. Most of the year these colors are masked by great amounts of green coloring, says SUNY.
"But in the fall, because of changes in the length of daylight and changes in temperature, the leaves stop their food-making process. The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible and give the leaves part of their fall splendor."

The Summer Nutrition Assistance for Chatham Kids (S.N.A.C.K.) program is back and bigger than last year.
During the summer of 2009, Take and Eat Food Pantry partnered with Chatham OutReach Alliance (CORA), Chatham County Dept. of Social Services, the Pittsboro Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, West Chatham Food Bank and the Hispanic Liaison to provide breakfast and lunch foods to 120 children in Chatham County. The pilot program filled the gap created during the summer break when children don't have access to the school free and reduced breakfast and lunch program.
In 2010, the program was expanded to feed 800 children! This summer, the children will receive fresh fruit and carrot sticks along with the shelf-stable breakfast and lunch foods. Additionally, Chatham Trades, Inc., Chatham County Schools, Goldston United Methodist Church and the Moncure Community Health Center have joined as partners.
Take and Eat Food Pantry is grateful for the involvement of the Lystra Baptist Church college students who are home for the summer and volunteering their time to assist with distribution of the S.N.A.C.K. packs.

Bekins Breaks Ground On Coopersville Expansion
If you drive by Coopersville along the I-96 expressway, you will see construction vehicles at the Bekins Service Center and Warehouse on O'Malley Drive. Bekins has broken ground on a new addition which will nearly double the warehouse and office space, creating space for more jobs at our growing business.
Our locally-owned, internationally-acclaimed appliance and electronics company in West Michigan has already outgrown the three-year-old building in Coopersville.
Bekins President, Scott Bekins, opened the Coopersville Service Center and Warehouse in 2015 to accommodate the company's growth at the time. With state-of-the-art, interactive showrooms in Grand Haven and Grand Rapids, he planned for the warehouse and office space in Coopersville to accommodate at least 10 more years of company growth. However, Bekins has grown faster than even he expected.
Bekins, which also owns Classic Stereo in Grand Rapids, has nearly tripled its staff since 2010. When the additional 30,000 square feet of warehouse and office space is complete, it will give us the space to double our staff.
The addition includes changes to make operation even more efficient, which enables us to deliver the best service while keeping costs competitive.
Added space will also help Bekins continue to be one of the greenest appliance dealers in the nation. We recycle more than 90 percent of all waste in their facility, which includes:
- old appliances
- cardboard
- plastic
- styrofoam
- banding
- and much more…
Our recycling efforts saved more than 1,286 trees, 7,567 gallons of oil and 280 cubic yards of landfill space in just the last three years.
The addition will help us serve more of the top-notch products and services that have earned us 20 national and international honors during our 43 years of serving West Michigan.
"We always have been and always will be a service company that happens to sell products," Bekins said. "People can buy what we sell elsewhere, but you can't get our service anywhere else. That's why we continue to grow – better service, same price. We can only do that by being smarter and more efficient. The operations center in Coopersville and our amazing people allow us to do just that."
