Certain industrial activities are licensed with the Environment Agency to control their emissions. To gain an Environmental Permit, operators will have to show that they have systematically developed proposals to apply the Best Available Techniques (BAT) and meet certain other requirements, taking account of relevant local factors.
24 Acoustics approach to undertaking noise and vibration IPPC assessments is three-fold, as follows:
1. Desk top review. This includes compilation of all recent noise survey work undertaken in and around the site, review of the complaint history, review of planning limits and historical compliance with the limits (if known), identification of receptors and identification of any capital purchase of noise control hardware or other mitigation measures within recent years.
2. Initial risk assessment. This involves determining the noise emission from the plant at the closest residential receptors, determining the background noise level when the plant is shutdown, establishing details of any particular characteristics of the noise emission, such as tonality or intermittent features and identifying the significant noise-generating plant on the site and any existing noise control measures which may be in place. Should the risk assessment indicate that the risk of environmental noise emission is low this is usually sufficient to demonstrate that Best Available Techniques are employed to control the noise emission to the community.
3. Should the Phase 2 assessment be insufficient to demonstrate that the site is employing BAT to control its its noise emission additional information may be required at Phase 3. Typically these could include detailed sound power surveys of the plant on the site, acoustic modelling of the site to determine the dominant items of plant (with respect to the noise emission to the community), consideration of noise control measures with cost-benefit analysis where appropriate and provision of environmental noise management plans.

We truly value the contribution our volunteers make to improving the lives of women with cancer by helping us to carry out activities throughout the year.
These activities include:
- Major annual events, such as Comedy for Cancer
- Bi-annual donor appeals
- Fundraising campaigns, including GO step for Gynae
If you are passionate about making a difference and would like to take part in our growing volunteer program contact Sarah on 02 8071 4885 or email@example.com.
ANZGOG's Community Ambassador Program
Women reaching out to women
ANZGOG is dedicated to improving the outcomes and quality of life for women with gynaecological cancer, through research into its causes, prevention and treatment.
The lack of awareness about gynaecological cancer means too many women are dying. We want to change this and with your help, are confident that we can make a difference to women right across this country and the globe.
To succeed in achieving our goals, we are inviting women who have had first-hand experience with gynaecological cancer – who may be gynaecological cancer survivors, or family or friends of survivors – to help us spread the word about this disease within their local communities.
We are asking Ambassadors to:
- Know the symptoms of gynae cancer; listen to your body; take control of your health
- Get involved – reach out to women like you and raise awareness for gynaecological cancer and the need for research
The first step of the program will be for all our Ambassadors to come together to meet and share their experiences and receive further information about gynaecological cancer and ANZGOG's work. We will also provide you with some training in public speaking skills. This activity will take place in Sydney on Friday, 27 February 2015 and, if you are serious about becoming an Ambassador and would like to join us, we will cover your travel and associated expenses.
From there we ask that you make at least two public presentations within the year to raise awareness about gynaecological cancer and research within your community. These presentations could be anything from a 'Girl's Night In' with a group of your friends and wider contact base, to a public presentation to a local community group such as Probus or Rotary.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer Community Ambassador, contact Sarah Hope on 02 8071 4885 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Clark's Corner is a favorite of both locals and tourists. With history filling the walls and tables, you are bound to be taken back to the days of Freezeout (one of Ione's original names in the 1800s.) The walls are adorned with the brands of ranchers, both past and present. And, if walls could talk, their stories would be a constant stream of entertainment. There's always something happening, history being made, and stories being told at Clark's - whether it's during Wine Time on Fridays, Live Music on Saturdays, Story Time on Tuesdays - or any other given day.
Clark's Corner is also a huge advocate for their community. Whether they're selling tickets and helping raise money for local non profits, or hosting their annual Independence Day Celebrations, "Clark's" has turned into a true community hub. No matter what your question, be it about their history, community, events or gatherings, they are sure to send you on your way with both the knowledge and answers you desired.

Have you seen our video? We hope you like it. If you do, please share widely, plant your own Primroses, and help inspire fellow Fairy Gardeners to do the same!
'Fairy Gardening Part 1' was made entirely by volunteers from the Fairyland Trust. It was shot, produced and directed by student film-makers whose families have been part of the Fairyland Trust crew for many years, and acted by members of the crew.
Why Primroses Now?
Primrose time is upon us, and hungry Queen Bees will soon be emerging from their winter shelters, and urgently need to find pollen and nectar. Primroses provide an ideal early food source for bumblebees, and hugely brighten up your garden. They also take well and are easy to plant.
Primroses are spring flowers which tolerate most soils, and like a partly shaded position with some sun. Be sure only to plant the wild native type of primrose, as multi-coloured garden centre 'primula' varieties may have little or no nourishment for bees and other wildlife. We recommend buying your primroses as small 'plug plants' (with roots) from British Wild Flower Plants by post. The people at this company are true experts in wildflower gardening and have generously supported our Fairy Gardening Workshops over many years, by donating a huge amount of wildflower plants. Here's the link to their Primrose page.
Matt and Linda at BWFP with some primroses and other spring flowers
Help Bring Back Our Primroses
Although everyone has probably heard of Primroses they are now much rarer than they used to be. Chemical sprays and over-fertilisation of our verges and hedgerows with farm fertiliser and pollution from traffic has replaced many traditional Primrose banks with rank growth of big grasses and Cow Parsley (more here).
A spring Primrose Bank – now a rare sight. But you can bring them back to your garden.
One of many 'Primrose Corners' (this is in Norfolk) which have lost their Primroses but not their name. It doesn't have to be like this!
As well as bees, Primroses attract night-flying moths who feed on the nectar and spread the pollen, helping the plants produce seeds. If you plant a patch of Primroses you'll be helping lots of wildlife, and they can soon spread to create a good clump.
These Primroses multiplied in a Fairy Garden corner only a few years after planting as 'plug plants'.
A Primrose blooming in a pot after being brought home from a Fairyland Trust Fairy Gardens Workshop (read more about it here).
The most practical thing many of us can do to help wildlife is to welcome wildflowers back into our own gardens.
Please help us spread the word about Fairy Gardening (and follow us on Facebook and Twitter), and become a Supporter of the Fairyland Trust.
And Finally
… here are some additional traditional names for Primroses:
Caithness: Buckie-Faalie
Devon: Butter Rose, Lent Rose
Somerset: Darling of April, Early Rose, Easter Rose, First Rose, Golden Rose, Golden Stars
Shetland: May Flooer
Scotland: May Spink
Yorkshire: Simmerin
Ireland: Sambaircin

When using the Strava and Apple Health integration, some Strava activity data is syncing twice in Apple Health. Troubleshooting this problem is difficult and hard to reproduce. In the meantime, below are steps that may temporarily resolve the duplicates:
- In Health, turn off all sources for each of the data types (Active Calories, Cycling Distance, Walking + Running Distance, Workouts). Close the Health app and the Strava app.
- Start the Health app again and turn all Strava sources back on, including the Workouts option.
- Open the Strava app, go to the "You" feed and pull down to refresh. Then scroll down through that feed to view past activities. This allows your data to be pulled from Strava and passed to the Health app.
- If that doesn't work, delete and reinstall the Strava app (when prompted to remove Health-related data, say yes). Go to settings after reinstalling Strava and enable Health sharing.

Pricing of the products
People often ask us why we do not list the pricing for each model on the website!

Maintenance and repairs can be expensive, but with our bikes these costs are virtually non-existent (provided normal use of the product). Over time, that represents a significant saving.
Finally, quality is linked to the re-sale value. As an example, a 2nd hand Bakfiets.nl (if you can find one!) us priced between $2250-2750 depending on the location. That is after being used 3-4 years. A quick calculation shows that you would write off only $250-300 per year.
We believe our products are a conservative investment in your lifestyle. Our business model is aimed at keeping our bikes affordable by having an efficient organisation and logistics.
Retail prices range from $3000 up to $8000 plus for an electric assist Dutch Cargo Bike including GST depending on the setup.

Letter U-Umbrella & Underground
Quadra-Fire Notebook Giveaway!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of QuadraFire. All opinions are 100% mine.
I grew up in a pioneer house--or that's what my mom would tell her neices and nephews when they would visit. We didn't have air conditioning, a dishwasher, a microwave until I was almost 10, or a furnace. Most of those things weren't a problem except for a furnace. We had a wood burning stove upstairs and downstairs. If you were cold you would put on another layer. We slept well because our rooms were cold--but man oh man, getting out of bed into a cold room was so hard to do. I loved the overwhelming heat that would sink into your bones as you lay in front of the fire--I can't count how many Sunday afternoon naps were induced by the intoxicating heat.
Even in the summer time we couldn't forget about the wood burning stove--nope we headed up into the mountains for huge woodcutting adventures. Most of the time my Dad would be cutting and the kids would be exploring. But when we got back home we spent hours splitting and stacking our wood pile. I am grateful for the hard work now, but it seemed like such a pain back then. When I was about 14 my parents had a furnace put in the house. I enjoyed a warmer room, but still liked the heat of the fire.
Now I have a gas fireplace and miss the crackle and heat of a wood burning stove. But let me tell you about something even better. A Quadra-Fire Pellet Stove! I've been looking at their website and am impressed with all of their options. Maybe in my next home I can have a pellet stove to be more fuel effecient and save lots of money during the cold long winters.
These stoves are great. You can get either, gas, wood or the most efficient pellet stoves.
Check out this infographic for some of the amazing numbers:
And since it is tax season, here is some great news if you are thinking of getting a Pellet Stove for your home. There is a tax credit for, among many other things, qualifying biomass-burning stoves! The tax extender provides a 10 percent tax credit of up to $300 on a qualifying biomass heating appliance purchased between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2013!
So you could reduce your carbon footprint, and get a tax credit.
Now, a giveaway! By leaving a comment telling why you like Quadra-Fire you can win a Quadra-Fire notebook. I will select the winner by Wednesday evening, February, 27th.
You can also follow Quadra-Fire on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

No one has favorited this theater yet
Located near the Place Jourdan in Etterbeek district, there was a theatre, dance hall and cafe named Continental which became the Continental Cinema in the 1930's. Taken over by Joseph Wecks who owned the Leopold Palace, Albert Hall, Marni in Ixelles district, Elysee in Saint Gilles.
It was renamed Rixy Cinema in September 1953 until it closed in 1967. It stayed long time unoccupied and was taken over by the Town Hall and became the cultural center of Etterbeek as a tribute to Leopold Senghor like the Centre Culturel Jacques Franck in Saint Gilles, or the Espace Delvaux in Watermael, both old cinemas,

Delayed Linkdump #2429
Changed my wordpress password over the weekend, which threw off my semi-automatic delicious blogging (aka, linkthink). So here's a semi-manual collection of yesterday's links —
- LRB · Slavoj Žižek: Use Your Illusions
looks like zizek caught the hope (kinda); here is a sneeze: "Nothing was decided with Obama's victory, but it widens our freedom and thereby the scope of our decisions. No matter what happens, it will remain a sign of hope in our otherwise dark times, a sign that the last word does not belong to realistic cynics, from the left or the right."
- McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Noted Post-Marxist Sociologist, Philosopher, and Cultural Critic Slavoj Žižek Welcomes You to the Gym.
' Exercise allows us to engage in these repetitive motions without having to question why. The superego asks the id, "What are you doing? Don't make me look stupid," and then the ego and id respond, "Go to bed, old man. I am working out like Olivia Newton-John!" '
- Soul Jazz Records — Dancehall – Album — The Rise Of Jamaican Dancehall Culture
this looks great, as does the beth lesser book it accompanies — can't wait to page through that with these chunes banging in the background
- hawgblawg: kufiya note #7078 (plus turban and hijab chic)
ted swedenburg stays on his kufiya-spotting grind, here noting a profusion of related fashion trends, including the rise/return of the turban, hijab, and pashmina
- Twankle & Glisten: Slap
kid slizzard rounds up a few bmore/youtube edits :: these are really quite entertaining, definitely some next level remixing :: i like what he sez — "these straight-chop video interpretations of Baltimore club tracks are the only way I've seen an unadulterated sample being ..uh.. sampled. Such great rap synthesthesia …" :: and, oh yeah, that chappelle shit is hilarious
- The Elephants Child: When theres Arab Money……
rachel runs down some riffs around "arab money," from the narcicyst's biting response to busta's own defense (i hate that talk of different "cultures" — isn't the point that this all falls under global capitalism?!), to an 'unrelated' video featuring "al qaeda jada"?!?! weirdnessesesses
- MUSIC WORLD – BUCHAMAN – Part 1 of 5 – VBS.TV
VBS.TV does it again, this time with a fascinating look at a dancehall crew in uganda, dabbling in local governance?!
- T-Pain and the Rise of the Singing Robots – AOL Music Canada
nice lil piece on the rise of autotune as the new reverb, w/ a kicker quotation from sñr /rupture: 'But in Rupture's view, autotuning is a means of augmenting, not stealing soul. "There's something very humanizing about Auto-Tune. I see it as a duet between the electronics and the personal. It's not like it's making a voice sound computer-y, it's a third, more interesting cyborg possibility—a reconciliation with technology. It's a duet. I live in a world saturated by electronics and we're finding a way to make that sing." '

Too right. If Autotune was actually able to turn a bad singer into a good one, maybe Kanye's new material wouldn't be so gutwrenchingly mediocre.

this guys books are great, if you've never come across them.
3. wayneandwax | November 20th, 2008 at 12:47 am
Fascinating stuff, Dominic. Pretty germane to lots I've been thinking about lately. Thanks for the tip!
4. Birdseed | November 22nd, 2008 at 4:50 am
I've been thinking. Wasn't the use of Autotune in hip-hop prefigured by a use of a somewhat similar effect in dancehall, circa 2001-2002? I'm thinking of TOK's cover of "Somebody's Watching Me" (which was a bonus track on "My Crew, My Dawgs") and Tanto Metro & Devonte's huge hit "Give It To Her". Is there possibly a connection?
5. wayneandwax | November 22nd, 2008 at 9:28 am
Dancehall was definitely one of the first genres to really embrace autotune — and did so significantly before the more recent ubiquity in hip-hop/r&b. Beenie Man's "Dude" (2004) stands out as a prominent example where it was used in a playful/interesting rather than corrective fashion (esp on his vocals; Ms.Thing, who sings the chorus, sounds like she really needed it). Of course, that's later than the dates you're mentioning — those are pretty early examples and, I think, were seen, like Cher, more as a novelty effect than as a new standard in the producer's toolkit. In part, it has to do with the availability of the tech as well as its desirability. By 2004 I recall talking to a producer who complained that every other vocalist he worked with was asking for the "computer voice"!
I think another popular/influential pre-US use, although more subtle, is Kevin Lyttle's "Turn Me On."
6. Birdseed | November 22nd, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Good point. That's potentially before the other two as well, although it didn't break internationally until three years later. I remember really liking the tune, which I bought circa summer 2002 on one of the D'Soca Zone comps, and pushing it onto several of my rockist friends in mixtapes, who all hated it. They were much annoyed when two years later it made #2 in the UK.
7. wayneandwax | November 22nd, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Perhaps soca should receive more credit for popularizing autotune as the new reverb in r&b, etc. I'm reminded that Rupee's "Tempted to Touch," which followed on the heels of Lyttle's success, also employed the effect in a subtle-but-audible manner.
8. rachel | November 22nd, 2008 at 7:43 pm
I think in terms of dancehall, soca, it seems part of a larger early rise in Caribbean musics b/c its also been used for a long time in zouk, at least since the early 2000s.

After dairying conventionally for 15 years, Al and Desiree Wehner switched their farming method to an intensive grazing management farming style in 1993. In a location of mild winters and unlimited water supply from a Floridian aquifer, Sweet Grass Dairy is one of the only places in the nation where cows can graze freely year-round. This 100% barn-free life shines through in the form of high-quality milk, which is rich and grassy in flavor. Jeremy Little is the cheesemaker, and he says that it is his job to just "not mess up the milk."
Our interview with with Jessica Little of Sweet Grass Dairy is below.
1) Why cheese? What inspired you to jump into dairy farming?
As far as why we do what we do--you will see that we are really passionate about sustainable agriculture, humane animal husbandry and artisan foods. We are trying to help cultivate an inspired food culture, and our platform is artisan cheese. Secondly, I grew up on a dairy farm and knew that I wanted to be involved, but not directly in milking cows. Cheesemaking was a great opportunity for us to stay in the family business but do something different.
2) What are the challenges of making cheese? What are the rewards?
Challenges of making cheese...wow, there are so many. We do not have a long history of cheesemaking in the South due to our lack of refrigeration and absence of caves for aging. There is a steep learning curve, and there is new information coming out all the time about The Human Microbiome Project and microbiology. This stuff is fascinating!! Cheesemaking is a great mix of science and art. It is a craft with a history of thousands of years. We are just starting to understand the science behind the fermentation process. So, I'd say the science is the most challenging and the flavor in eating the actual cheese is the biggest reward.
3) What makes your farming special?
Our farms are very special because of 365 unconfined grazing. There are numerous studies that show pasture-raised animals live at least 3 times longer than their conventional counterparts. The heath of the land is incredible. My dad often says he is a dirt farmer more than a dairy farmer. It is crucial to have highly mineralized soil for healthy cows.
4) Do you have a personal favorite cheese? What's your favorite way to enjoy it?
Hmm, personal favorite cheese is like asking me to pick my favorite child. I'd have to say that we eat more Thomasville Tomme than any of our other cheeses due to its ability to melt well in a wide range of applications, from mac and cheese to tacos. I love Asher Blue with a sparkling wine on Champagne Thursdays with our wildflower honey and local pecans. I have preordered some 2016 Arnot-Roberts Rosé, and I'm on the count down to drinking that with some Green Hill as soon as it arrives. I'm a sucker for Pimento Cheese on grilled burgers. We eat cheese daily, so it is really hard to pick just one favorite option.

San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown would like to get rid of "flitterbugs," those vexatious turboprop commuter planes that account for just a tenth of the flights and two percent of the passengers passing through SF International Airport.
These small planes take up valuable runway space and control tower time. If only Mayor Brown could get people hooked on bigger, less-frequent planes, he could stave off an environmental disaster – expanding the airport into San Francisco Bay.
San Francisco's problem is all too familiar to managers of the world's increasingly busy airports. The Southern California Association of Governments sees demand at LA International growing from 60 million to 94 million passengers per year between 1997 and 2020, a jump of 64 percent. Orange County demand could grow 379 percent, from 8 million to 29 million. Airbus says the world cargo fleet is destined to double.
Until frequent-flyer programs and fare discount wars, the passenger side of the industry tended to be the preserve of jetsetters and business travelers, but the past couple of decades has seen air travel extend well down the income scale. Global air traffic has grown 9 percent per annum since 1960. By 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) believes that a billion passengers will travel by air in the US alone. Europe expects air travel to double by 2010.
Recently, the EPA added electricity utilities, coal and metal mining, chemical wholesalers, petroleum bulk plants and terminals, and solvent recovery and hazardous waste facilities to the list of sites that must lodge emissions data. Surprisingly, airports continue to escape this monitoring requirement despite the fact that arriving and departing planes generate a witch's brew of nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, naphthalene, known carcinogens benzene and formaldehyde, and dust ["Airports' Poison Circles," Winter 2000-1 EIJ].
The air-cargo sector is by far the worst offender. Many cargo jets are pensioned off from passenger work. Some can be up to 40 years old. Toiling in the night skies of Europe and America, these veterans are fitted with US-made "hush kits'' that cut their noise to legal limits. But they remain 10 decibels louder than modern aircraft.
Their heavier loading requires these jets to remain on full throttle longer as they strain to gain a respectable altitude. People living near busy airports, especially in Europe, are being driven bonkers in the name of flourishing world trade. Outside Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, residents from surrounding districts have blocked access highways, demanding an overnight pause in takeoffs and
In 1999, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that excessive or persistent noise "interferes with communication; induces sleep disturbance effects; cardiovascular and psycho/physiological effects; performance-reduction effects; annoyance responses; and [affects] social behavior." The WHO argues that "nighttime aircraft movements should be discouraged where they impact residential communities."
This nocturnal derangement prompted the Aviation Environment Federation's "Green Skies" campaign (a coalition of 25 environmental and citizens groups from more than 20 countries) to launch a "Save Our Sleep" initiative in May 2000. This issue has now been taken to the European Court in Strasbourg. Mitigation can be costly, however: Chicago recently spent more than $78 million to soundproof 37 schools near O'Hare Airport.
A 1999 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that aircraft were responsible for 3.5 percent of global climate change through carbon dioxide (C02) emissions, and this could rise fourfold by 2050, with the cargo sector making a disproportionate contribution.
The IPCC assumed that fuel efficiency would improve by 40 to 50 percent by 2050 while progress in aircraft management would reduce fuel-burn by another 8 to 18 percent. Nonetheless, the sheer growth in air traffic (estimated at about 2 to 4 percent per year) is expected to swamp these gains. C02 emissions are expected to rise to 4 percent of the industrial total, ozone concentrations will increase 13 percent, condensation trails will increase by 0.5 percent and cirrus formation 400 percent.
In the meantime, airport planners are trying to meet traffic growth by adding runways, using new technologies and management systems, and building new airports. In the US, the Airports Expansion Act provides $40 billion to build new airports and to extend runways at 2,000 existing metropolitan airports.
An Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast device, linked to the satellite-based Global Positioning System, will enable planes to fly closer together. Under the FAA's "free flight" concept, pilots would have more discretion to select paths within predetermined areas and would be encouraged to maintain "minimum separation" – i.e., fly closer together.
Airports – along with hazardous waste facilities, nuclear waste repositories, powerplants, prisons and road tunnels – are archetypal LULUs (locally unwanted land uses). There may be a societal need for them but no one wants one in their locality.
The International Civil Aviation Organization is due to debate a jet fuel tax as a way to encourage use of more fuel-efficient aircraft. At the moment, taxes on aviation fuel are illegal under the convention that regulates international civil aviation. Britain's Institute for Public Policy Research has suggested introducing an emissions-trading scheme for aircraft with a cap on C02 and the equal splitting of emissions cuts between departure and arrival countries. However, such schemes leave out the issues of water vapor and nitrogen dioxides.
The British air transport industry has proposed a voluntary agreement to lower the government's air passenger duty up to 80 percent for the use of more fuel-efficient planes. It wanted the government to provide enhanced capital allowances for fleet revamps. The British plan also suggested that a portion of the air passenger duty could be used to invest in carbon offsets.
Australia's two major carriers have signed up to the Greenhouse Challenge. With 97 percent of the energy usage consumed in takeoff, there has been an attempt to reduce this by adjusting takeoff angles and routes. Some carriers have begun to offer frequent flyers the chance to buy trees for carbon sequestration – in effect, asking their customers to share emission offsets. However, reports in the New Scientist cast doubt on the short-term wisdom of using trees as a carbon sink.
There is no escaping the fact that the sheer volume of global traffic will eventually erode any fuel and emission savings achieved by taxes or efficiency measures. Some believe the answer lies in fewer, bigger planes like the Airbus A3XX-100 – a 540- to 960-seat double-deck super jumbojet. But precisely the same thing was said of the Boeing jumbojet and look what happened.
Technical innovation can accomplish a good deal, but it won't carry the day on its own. Eventually, the industry will have to commit to bringing ecologically sustainable development into its core business operations.

Good morning everyone! Guess what time it is? Time to kick off a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog! We have a fun theme for you this week - 'Layer on Layer'. I just love adding lots of layers to my projects, I'm definitely a 'more is more' kind of gal most of the time. You do not need yo use a digi from The Paper Shelter to enter the challenge, but those using an image from The Paper Shelter will be eligible to win a $30 gift certificate. Any winner not using a Paper Shelter digi will win 3 digis of their choice. For my DT project I am using the gorgeous image (her name really says it all) Lovely and Chic. As soon as I knew what the challenge was, I thought she would be perfect! You can find her and so many other amazing stamps in The Paper Shelter online store.
The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - E50, E51, E53, E11 & E13; coat - R22, R24, YR000, YR02, YR14, YR18, E40, E41 & E42; flowers - BG01, BG05 & BG09; shoes - W00, W1, W2 & W3. I chalked around the image with chalk from Pebbles, Inc. The image is printed on x-press paper.
I hope I made her look 'Lovely and Chic!'
For the card I used Bazzill cardstock, paper from Graphic 45, Wild Orchid flowers, and dies from LaLa Land Crafts. As you can see, I added many layers of paper, and matted each one on solid cardstock. Definitely a 'Layer on Layer' card! I hope you will make a card for the challenge and play along with us at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. And while you are there, check out the gorgeous projects my fellow DT members made. They're beautiful! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

iCloud service, plus iTunes integration--announced during Steve Jobs's keynote address at this morning'sWorldwide Developers Conference--was arguably the most significant announcement of the day. The big question about Apple's iTunes in the Cloud offering is, How does it compare to Google Music Beta and Amazon Cloud Drive?The introduction of Apple's
The short answer: Not all that well. The difference comes down to one major feature that iCloud lacks: online streaming. Initially there was some confusion over whether the service would support streaming of your music over Wi-Fi or 3G. But Apple has confirmed to us that it does not. Unlike Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Music Beta, and mSpot Music, your music from iCloud is downloaded to your device, where it takes up local storage (see the chart at left for a comparison of each service's features).

August 11, 2017 | Posted in:Camp News
Unfortunately, Sports Week has come to an end. Our lovely campers learned about the different sports and the various sporting techniques. On Tuesday during Arts & Crafts, the children made paper plate balls!
On Wednesday, the counsellors organized a game of soccer at the park. All the children displayed sportsmanship and teamwork during the soccer match. This week's Trip Thursday was at Ever Green Brick Works, where campers discovered new ways to preserve energy and protect the planet! Furthermore, our lovely campers were given the opportunity to engage in a Scavenger Hunt, during the hunt they discovered historic buildings at the facility, and also enjoy the sunshine.
Next week will be Miracle In The Bible Week! We hope campers are excited to learn about the many different miracles that occurred in the Bible! Please stay tuned for the next blog.

Crumbles, crisps and cobblers all occupy the same delicious space in my culinary brain. How can you go wrong with fruit wrapped in or covered by or baked with sweet crusts laced with rich butter and brown sugar? Pulled from a hot oven and covered with a scoop of vanilla ice cream …
… sweet mother of mercy.
- 12 of your favorite kinds of apples, peeled, cored and given a rough chop
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
Preheat oven to 350°. Place apples in a deep 8×8 baking dish and sprinkle with the sugar.
In a large bowl, toss the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and butter. With a pastry cutter (or 2 knives if you're like me and keep forgetting to buy a new pastry cutter since the last one broke) work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like crumbs.
Spread flour mixture over the apples and bake until golden, about 40-45 minutes.

We love sacks, interceptions and touchdowns as much as the next football fan, but some of our favorite game-day action happens before the first whistle is blown. We're talking about the tailgate. And no matter if you follow the NCAA or the NFL (or both), the weekends are all about hanging out with friends and firing up the grill. So before you put on your face paint and jersey, read our five spirited tailgate tips. Now let's play some football!
Add spirits to your food.
The secret to tailgating like an all-pro is to spike your food. Seriously. Whip up barbecue expert Adam Perry Lang's sweet and spicy Bourbon Barbecue Sauce, which is perfect on everything from wings and steaks to smoked sausage. If you're feeling like Mexican instead, try the impressive Tequila-Flamed Shrimp Stack from star New York chef Sue Torres.
Serve beer cocktails.
Sure, just like everybody else, you could drink beers and sip bourbon from a flask. But this season, we challenge you to up your game, to leave everything you got on the parking-lot gravel. So rise to the occasion and fix Liquor.com advisory board member Simon Ford's simple and delicious tequila-based Lagerita or his spicy Michelada.
Go large.
Tailgaiting with a group of thirsty friends? Forget about mixing up individual cocktails for everybody. You'll be sacked before the first down is played. Instead, fix a pitcher or a punchbowl of drinks. Margaritas by the Pitcher are always a crowd favorite, and our recipe comes from legendary bartender and Liquor.com advisory board member Dale DeGroff—it makes about 16 servings at a time. More of a gin fan? Try the citrusy Boat House Punch from one of our other advisors, Julie Reiner.
Start early.
On Saturdays, NCAA games kick off at noon Eastern time—that's 9 AM on the West Coast! So, set your alarm clock and watch the action while you enjoy brunch and an eye-opener. Now, there are a million varieties of Bloody Marys, but for a truly unique beverage, we'd suggest celebrity chef Chris Cosentino's Bloody Roman, which calls for fresh tomatoes and chiles, beer and raw oysters. (A breakfast of champions!) If that sounds like too much work, call an audible and make the super-easy and classic Mimosa.
The secret is sipping.
We always encourage drinking responsibly, and if you want to imbibe all afternoon, skip the boozy cocktails and instead fix some refreshing low-alcohol concoctions. The bubbly Spritz is a favorite, and gives you lots of options: Just combine a low-proof liqueur like Aperol with sparkling wine or club soda. Or turn to a 19th-century classic: the Sherry Cobbler.

Campdown Races
As played by Patrick O'Keeffe on track 16 of "The Sliabh Luachra Fiddle Master" (RTE CD).
CampTown races
This is the doo-dah song with a slight change in the spelling
How's she cutting, Ed?
By the way, which came first?
Well, Camptown Races the song is attributed by most to Stephen Foster. Dunno if he used a "folk melody" to perpetrate the lyrics upon.
"Perpetrate"…. funny!
Conan: all's well with me thanks - how about you? Is your Finsbury Park sesh still going?
The notes confirm what you say, noting that this polka "…is known well beyond Ireland as a song." Unfortunately that's all they say about this tune. The only other clue to its age is that these recordings date from Sept '48 and Jan '49.
Camptown Races
Stephen Foster was an accomplished composer and songwriter, and wrote Camptown Races (aka "De Camton Races") in 1850, so the tune is indeed of respectable antiquity. Two useful websites about Stepeh Foster are
Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869) was the USA's first international virtuoso pianist/composer. His virtuoso piano fantasia "Le Banjo" Op 15, composed in 1855, makes a clear reference to Stephen Foster's "Camptown Races" of 1850, and also the spiritual "Roll, Jordan, Roll". "Le Banjo" is probably one of the best pianistic impressions of banjo playing I've heard, and shows that Gottschalk was familiar with the banjo and its sound.
The opening eight bars of Le Banjo - which is about the only bit I can play 🙂 - are as follows:
|F>A cc|dc c2|AG2F|AG2F|
F>A cc|dc c2|fd2c|AG2C|
BTW, the original is in F#maj, and the first eight bars are played on the piano fortissimo in double octaves.
You ever read those lyrics? "Perpetrate" is about the only way of looking at it! ;) Trev, but did Foster write the tune or steal it from some folk melody, is what I'm wondering!
Camptown Races
Yes, Zina, I agree. It is possible that Foster may have used an existing folk tune (a composer's practice of venerable antiquity), in which case Gottschalk may have got his reference in Le Banjo from a source other than Foster. Gottschalk was deep into American and African ethnic music, so it's possible he may have come across the tune in his travels - he toured Europe as a soloist.
If documentary evidence of this tune before 1850 can be found, than we have an answer.
BTW, would you like to post the words for our delectation? 🙂 I don't know them.
Heh. From, believe it or else, The Stephen Foster School of Music for the Harmonica:
"Camptown Races ranks with Oh! Susanna as one of Foster's best nonsense songs. It is interesting to speculate on the possible origin of Foster's idea for Camptown Races. Musically, its refrain is similar to a Negro spiritual, Roll, Jordan Roll. Another old song, Doo-Dah, has passages almost identical with Camptown Races. Did Foster, then, base Camptown Races on a popular folk-song, or are these folk-songs variants and adaptations of Foster's song? These questions cannot be answerfed, for no one knows when the folk-songs originated; whether they came into being earlier or later than Camptown Races.
"Camptown Races was copyrighted and first issued by the Baltimore publisher, F.D. Benteen, February 19, 1850. Within a few years the town of Camptown, New Jersey, changed its name to Irvington. A newspaper writer suggested that Foster's race-track song had brought the New Jersey town so much notoriety that its citizens changed the name of their town in self-defense. Careful research into the Irvinton records and into minuted of town meetings has unfortunately failed to verify the tradition.
"Camptown Races contains foolishness of a rare quality, and it has been popular for almost a hundred yars. In its early days it was only moderately successful. In a seven-year period after it was first issued, it had earned in royalties $101.25, which represented the sale of a little more than 5,000 copies at two centsa copy. This sale was almost the same as that achieved by Oh! Lemuel! in approximately the same period."
And, now, my apologies, but here's the lyrics:
De Camp-town lad-ies sing dis song,
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
De Camp-town race-track five miles long,
Oh! doo-dah-day!
I come down dah wid my hat caved in,
Doo-dah! doo-dah!
I go back home wid a pocket full of tin,
Oh! doo-dah-day!
Gwin to run all night! Gwin to run all day!
I'll bet my mon-ey on de bob-tail nag,
Some-bod-y bet on de bay.
verse 2
De long tail filly and de big black hoss,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Dey fly de track and de both cut across
Oh! doo dah day!
De blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Can't touch bottom with a ten foot pole
Oh doo dah day!
verse 3
Old mulley cow come onto de track,
Doo dah! doo dah!
De bobtail fling her ober his back,
Oh! doo dah day!
Den fly along like a railroad car,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Runnin' a race wid a shootin' star
Oh! doo dah day!
verse 4
See dem flyin' on a ten mile heat,
Doo dah! doo dah!
Round de race track den repeat,
Oh! doo dah day!
I win my money on de bobtail nag,
Doo dah! doo dah!
I keep my money in an old towbag,
Oh! doo dah day!
Camptown Races
Ha-ha-ha! Wonderful! Many thanks, Zina. It takes a rare talent to pen nonsense of that order, but you don't have to look far to see that this website attracts numerous writers with that skill 🙂
The Banks of the Sacramento.
Author Frank Shay recorded these words in Iron Men & Wooden Ship:
Sing and heave, and heave and sing, To me hoodah! To me hoodah!
Heave and make the handspikes spring. To me hoodah! To me hoodah!
And it's blow, boys, blow, For Californi-o.
For there's plenty of gold, So I've been told,
On the banks of the Sacramento.
2.From Limehouse Docks to Sydney Heads, …
Was never more than seventy days…
3. We cracked it on, on a big skiute, …
And the old man felt like a swell galoot…
French version /adaptation by Hugues Aufray:
1. C'est dans la cale qu'on met les rats, houla lahoula,
C'est dans la cale qu'on met les rats, houla houlala.
Parés à virer, Les gars, faudrait déhaler.
On se reposera quand on arrivera dans le port de Tacoma.
2. C'est dans la mer qu'on met les mâts, …
3. C'est dans la pipe qu'on met l'tabac, …
4. C'est dans la gueule qu'on s' met l'tafia,…
5. Mais les filles, ça s'met dans les bras, …
This polky ditty has been reasonably well known in France -since Hugues Aufray recorded it half a century ago- and in other places -such as Holland- where a shanty revival occurred as part of the general 'folk revival'.

Here's a scottish pipe version:
(in A Major with no 7th):
T: The Banks of Sacramento /Campdown Races /Tacoma
R: polka
K:A Major
e>e ce|fe c2|cB2c|B4||ef/e/ ce|fe cA/B/|cc BB|A3 e||
A2 ce|a3 a|f/ef/ af|e4||ef/e/ ce|fe cA/B/|cc BB|A4||
A decent beginners tune that can be played in D as well.
"Campdown Races"
S: Pádraig O'Keeffe, "The Sliabh Luachra Fiddle Master", track 16, the 2nd polka of four
X: 4 ~ the above transcription…
Oops! It's late and it has been a long day ~ exploring old WWII military vehicles and currently working on a pint of Cuba Libre… 😏
X: 5 "Camptown Races" ~ with an addition and in A (& X:6 in G)
S: "Jackie Daly & Matt Cranitch: Rolling On", track 7, the 2nd polka of two
Personally, I don't think Jackie's third part does anything for what was a decent two part tune to start with, preferring other versions that his, though I like Jackie's playing and we have pretty much everything he's ever cut commercially, and some personal recordings too. The third part has promise, maybe as one of two parts to some other tune, but, for me, both of us, we'll keep with the two parts. Realizing some folks might like it, I've transcribed his playing of this, with his add on, and again in G for those that might like it a step down.
