Politics & Government
Most Republican presidential hopefuls skip California GOP convention
For just a moment during California's state Republican Party convention this past weekend, hundreds of GOP delegates felt the excitement of the presidential race gearing up nationwide.
Fox News commentator Frank Luntz asked the delegates gathered at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento to applaud their support for potential candidates such as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. The hotel ballroom erupted in cheers as the names of presidential hopefuls flew by.
Now that the convention is over, California Republicans shouldn't expect many more invitations for input.
The nation's biggest state has already become a Democratic bastion and a lost cause for Republican presidential candidates in the general election.
A Democratic-authored bill making its way through the Legislature could further shrink the state's cachet by pushing back next year's primary to June 5. The proposed move could turn California into little more than an epilogue in the GOP presidential race.
If anything, the just-concluded convention laid out the state's already humble role in presidential politics by drawing only two long-shot potential candidates – Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton.
Nowhere in sight were GOP stars such as Gingrich, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin or former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, all of them mentioned as possible presidential material. Most of the convention action focused on how to deal with voter-approved Proposition 14, the open-primary measure, which all but cut out parties from the nominating process. The proposition didn't affect presidential primaries.
"(California) is always going to play a significant role in financing whoever the next Republican candidate is going to be," said outgoing party Treasurer Keith Carlson. "If they move the nomination back, of course California is going to be hurt by the fact that much of the nation may have already decided the outcome."

Eid Mubarak ♡ Selamat Hari Raya!
Eid or in Malay, Raya, is a religious celebration for Muslims to celebrate the end of the fasting month of Ramadhan. To be quite honest, I still can't believe that it is Eid already, it felt like yesterday I was in Christchurch where I had my first day of Ramadhan. Nonetheless, I am grateful that Allah has blessed me with another year to fast during Ramadhan so that I can work on my deen (faith). In saying that, I am grateful for all the blessings that God has bestowed on me during the month of Ramadhan as well as the first couple of days of Shawwal (the month where we celebrate Eid).
The first day of Shawwal is Eid al-Fitr which means 'feast of the breaking of the fast'. It's no exaggeration that it is a day of feasting. After our morning Eid prayer (which is done on the 1st day of Shawwal), we would host for people to come over and eat as well as celebrate. Normally we celebrate the first three days or sometimes throughout the month of Shawwal. This year my family and I had our morning prayers at Hamilton Gardens where we ended up going to five different houses to eat and then my family hosted one later on during the day as well. Alhamdulillah, my heart, as well as my stomach, was full with a lot of love by the end of the day.
During this religious celebration, mercy, compassion, love and goodwill are some of the virtues that Muslims share not just with Muslims but with everyone from all walks of life. In Malaysia, we normally say "Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Dan Batin." which means "Eid Mubarak and please forgive me for any wrong doings." After the morning prayer, it is a tradition for the children especially to Salaam their parents and ask them forgiveness.
Other traditions include the sighting of the moon the night before to confirm that we can celebrate Eid the next day, preparing for Eid the night before by making traditional meals and sweets (according to one's own culture), balik kampung (go back to the village of our grandparents), wear traditional or modest clothing and instead of giving presents, we normally give money to children (unfortunately, apparently I am too old for that now).
This year, my mum and I prepared rendang (a dry curry which I must say, was voted the best food in the world), ketupat (cubed rice) with peanut sauce or lontong/sayur lodeh (veggies in a turmeric coconut sauce), lemang (glutinous rice which is traditionally cooked in bamboo) and ayam masak lemak (chicken cooked in coconut cream). Unfortunately, the only raya cookie we managed to make was honey cornflake cookies (if I wasn't busy with exams and other things we would normally make at least five different types of raya cookies). Nonetheless, I am glad that my family was able to host a feast as I love seeing everyone happy where we also got lit playing uno and singing karaoke of raya and Malay classic songs (not very Islamic but we had a joyous time).
Eid/Raya is a time of joy and happiness and I am grateful to have celebrated with family and friends. Alhamdulillah, although the Malay community in Hamilton is small, the celebration to me was still meriah (exciting), in fact, this year has been one of the best rayas that I have had in a while.
Lastly, please forgive me for anything I have said or done intentionally or unintentionally and I pray for everyone a peaceful Eid where we celebrate with love and compassion. And may God bless us with His love and compassion. Ameen.

What People Think I Do vs What I Actually Do
Just because, you know, there's one or two misconceptions about the expat wife life... What people think I do:
I have a glorious lie in every morning because that's what people who don't have an office job do. In my defence, I did wake up at an entirely unsociable time already this morning to kiss my darling husband goodbye and wish him a good day at work, and to ensure that our children leave the building hand in hand with our helper ready for school. She's a godsend and completely understands how exhausting I find this humidity and heat, and how precious my me-time is. But when I do eventually rise from my sleeping beauty slumber, I'll have a cup of freshly brewed coffee in bed. Not instant, no need to rush anything after all. Whilst sipping from my favourite coffee cup I might think about what to do next in my day. So many hours, so little pressure to do anything. Some days I like to head to the gym, other days I'll give my other expat wife gals a call and we'll all go for brunch. We call it networking or strategising or something equally business like and official sounding. Really, we're just eating smashed avocado and poached eggs whilst discussing the latest sales picks in Zara, and moaning about the steep cost of shipping our favourite online picks overseas. But what the bank of husband doesn't know won't hurt him. In fact, we love that logic so much we might go for a post-brunch mooch around town. Someone needs some specific gold vase or something, and we all have to wander around the various high end boutiques expats exclusively shop at on the hunt. Whether we find what we're looking for or not is entirely irrelevant, we can pick this shopping trip up another day, any day, any time. Life is good to us like that... #blessed.
Don't get me wrong, we deserve this lifestyle though, we worked hard for it. We gave up our friends and family in our home countries and moved for our darling beloveds. It's so amazing though that in a matter of moments after arriving in my new home I found a whole new gaggle of girlfriends who initiated me into the group with a full afternoons gin drinking session on the beautifully lush lawns of their favourite clubhouse. This initiation is de rigeur for any expat wives aspiring to be part of the special group I now call my friends. Truly, it's like we've always known each other and reminds how lucky I am to be such a magnet for other strong, attractive wife types. Not all women are this dedicated to their husbands, but I am, and I reward myself regularly for it. But reward requires work, and it is a full time job maintaining myself, my children and my home.
My husband is very particular and I will do anything to ensure his absolute happiness and calm at home. It is our sanctuary away from the wilds of this foreign country, and he needs to know he is number one when he steps through the front door. It would be impossible to keep such an air of calm and control without my dear, dear helper, who does everything for me without me even needing to ask her. If behind every great man there is a greater woman, behind that woman is another woman, and she knows just how important she is to us. The children adore her almost as much as I do and will regularly go to her when they're upset. Parenting is so much easier when there is a second mother in the house. I simply cannot fathom how she manages to get everything done and find it exhausting just watching her work. My husband also appreciates the effort I put in to ensure our home and family, and of course myself, are all looking tip top. I have a strict regime of mani's, pedi's, waxes, tints, trims, and facials so I'm bikini ready or cocktail prepped at all times. You just never quite know when the next social invite will come, and it would be disastrous to have to turn it down due to a secret unruly fuzz situation. This is, after all, my job and duty and I take it all very, VERY, seriously.
What I actually do:
In my better moments I call myself the CEO of the house managing a small but growing family business. In my more desperate moments I call myself a fucking mug and promise myself I'll look at flights home later. The days always start the same though, regardless of my mood. Whilst shovelling toast and milk down the offspring I might slurp some dodgy tasting instant coffee and double check what's happening in the day ahead. I realise I'm not exactly commanding a boardroom of high flying execs, and sometimes that makes me feel a little less of a person than I was 12 months ago, but breakfast meetings in this business can be equally unruly and full of demanding characters. At some point the husband slips out, kissing the kids bye en route to the door, and I'm left with pre-schoolers in a country I don't really know that well with what feels like a verrrrrry long day ahead. The CEO in me gets onto google straight away and tracks down where our closest park/playground/softplay is, the desperate mother in me flicks the through the same handful of foreign TV channels for kids whilst playing with the same cup of naff coffee I've been sipping since 7am, very aware that it tastes different to at home. I don't have a helper so this is also my key time to swap loads of washing around and faff around the house, but if I did have a helper I'd be going through with her all the chores for today and trying to manage another person in the boardroom. But one who is on absolute minimal pay and doesn't necessarily speak the same first language. So you know, not all it's cracked up to be perhaps.
Assuming the kids are settled into some sort of activity I might take a moment to look at my to-do list. It's still really long, and I still have several important phone calls I need to make but time zones restrict me hugely, and sending emails is getting me nowhere. How hard is it, in this day and age, to cancel contracts in your home country or explain to an actual person and not a robotic voice that this call doesn't really match any of options 1-5 on the keypad? The hours wasted chasing emails and making calls forms a rather depressing portion of the expat wife workload. I'm not my family's PA I'm the CEO goddammit! Who am I kidding? I'm the PA. Next up on the list is to make arrangements for the kids to trial several different "enrichment" activities (ballet, mini rugby etc), try and coordinate kindergarten viewings with my husbands work diary via whatsapp, source the children's favourite foods online for a not entirely extortionate amount, arrange for the aircon to be serviced, and check who has birthdays coming up in two weeks to be sure cards and presents are sent with plenty of travel time. Please note this all has to take place prior to 9am as at 9.30am Mummy School starts.
"Mummy School" as we rather grandly call it, is just me going into teacher mode and trying to ensure my kids aren't going to be illiterate due to lack of formal schooling during our initial toe dip into expat life. Education is an expensive and confusing minefield for expats. How many ways are there to school a kid? Several it turns out, and each more expensive than the other. I'm stuck in a vicious cycle of not being able to afford a good British education (or any for that matter) until I get a job, but I can't go to work unless the kids are in full time childcare aka school and nursery, the childcare I can't afford to pay for because I don't have a job...so I home school. I'll be honest I've never had dreams of being a teacher and I've always scoffed slightly at home schoolers, but this is the payoff to living in a country with great weather and low taxes. So Mummy School is as good as it gets for now. What they miss out on in terms of social exposure I'm hoping a crammed enrichment schedule will make up for. Maybe. But that's not the teacher in me's problem to work out, that's for social secretary Mummy to arrange and oversee. So many pulls in so many directions.
The rest of the time I'm keeping kids alive, fed, watered and entertained. All day. Every day. All in completely unfamiliar territory with borderline zero social life. Fucks knows what I'd do if there was a significant language barrier in the way too. I do a great job in making it sound completely miserable, I know, but it's really not. We have plenty to do and explore in a city we've never been to, and we've even been making friends (see blogpost Dating In The Motherhood for proof of this). And if all else fails there's always the resort worthy pools to splash about in right downstairs from our apartment. That's an experience and luxury offered to us because we've embarked on this expat adventure, the UK looks very grey in comparison.
At some point during the day, usually the evening, I might try and hold together an adult conversation with my husband. I'll listen to him talk about his day at work, but really I just want to check that we're not moving again anytime soon. I've only just unpacked from the last move, the children have already lived in four different homes, and I've made friends and a life every time. We're expats though, this is what we do. We're professional packers, unpackers, flight takers and village makers. We can make a home anywhere, and we're not afraid to roll up our sleeves and do it.

R-GNOSIS is coordinated by Marc Bonten (UMC Utrecht) and brings together a multidisciplinary team with complementary expertise of clinicians, microbiologists and epidemiologists, infectious disease specialists, caregivers in inpatient care and mathematical modellers. The R-GNOSIS consortium is made of 19 partners from 9 countries which include United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland and Israel.
Check-Points Health develops, produces and sells DNA-based molecular diagnostic tests to detect antibiotic resistance in gram-negative bacteria. Multidrug resistance in gram-negative bacteria is increasing at an alarm rate and poses a huge clinical challenge. The products of Check-Points Health aim to support clinicians and hospitals in improving patient treatment and hospital hygiene. Check-Points Health is based in Wageningen, The Netherlands.
The principle of the Check-Points diagnostic system is based on specific molecular recognition of DNA target sequences and subsequent amplification with universal primers. Each single DNA target is recognized by a specific probe that contains a unique ZIP code corresponding to a unique position (address) on the microarray. These ZIP codes are used for detection on the microarray after amplification. Probes consist of two segments (probe arms), which are joined by a DNA ligase when they match perfectly with the target DNA. Only connected probe arms will result in amplification products. Probes that differ from the target DNA will not give amplification products, even in case of a single nucleotide difference. Amplification products are hybridized to the microarray and visualized by colorimetric detection. The microarrays are contained in so called Array Tubes, which are inserted in the Check-Points Array Tube Reader upon completion of the detection reaction. This generates an array image that is analyzed by dedicated software to yield a definitive and objective assay result.
Pieter VosPieter Vos is the R&D-director of Check-Points since 2003 and is responsible for the development and production of molecular diagnostic tests for hospital-acquired infections. Previously, Pieter was the CSO of Keygene NV, a plant biotech company in Wageningen, The Netherlands. Pieter graduated cum laude in Molecular Pathology in 1983 at Wageningen University, and obtained his PhD degree at the University of Wageningen in 1987 with his work on the plant picornavirus CPMV.
Aneta KarczmarekIn her current position as a Senior Application Scientist at Check-Points (Wageningen), she ensures that the scientific and the product application knowledge gained via customer visits, scientific meetings, collaboration with external experts and reading of the scientific publication is incorporated into Check-Points tests design and shared with the Check-Points team. Previously, she worked as a postdoctoral scientist at the Department of Molecular Cytology, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Aneta Karczmarek obtained PhD in molecular biology (Wageningen University). During here PhD she focused on the elucidation of the relationship between nematodes and their hosts.

The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse
I first came across William Tapley, aka The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse and Co-prophet of the End Times, a few years ago via Anderson Cooper's show on CNN – AC360. He's one of those who believes that the book of Revelation in the Bible lays out a prophecy for the destruction of the world and that we're currently in the End Times. Armageddon is just around the corner according to him, and he sees confirmation of this everywhere he looks. On AC360 he was waxing lyrical about the evils of the Denver International Airport. The place is apparently awash with phallic symbols tempting us to evil. I challenge you to get through this video without laughing:
If you want to know more from
William Tapley The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse and Co-Prophet of the End Times and about Denver International Airport, don't miss Sex and Satanism in the Denver Airport Murals. From a fellow-traveller of Tapley's, there's also Illuminati Denver Airport Art Murals! William Tapley The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse and Co-Prophet of the End Times has also given us prophecies about President Obama in Amazing Bible Prophecies About President Obama. On 7 November 2008 he conceded that Obama wasn't, in fact, the Anti-Christ, but that he was predicted in the Bible's book of Daniel, and that he would be the last president of the United States. He got the job because not enough Americans prayed and fasted enough before the election. (So now you know. And here was me thinking is was because more people voted for him.) Tapley says he was one of those who did not pray and fast enough and in his Obama video tells us "the Lord gave me a severe case of arthritis in my left shoulder because I did not pray and fast enough for my country."
Obama is, apparently, the "Last King of the South" and he is going to provoke the "Last King of the North" i.e. Vladimir Putin, into World War III. (We're running out of time!) According to Tapley, Obama gets this kingship because he is from Kenya, which is due south of Jerusalem and Putin qualifies because Moscow is due north of Jerusalem. (Actually Kenya and Moscow are both a couple of degrees east of Jerusalem, but you can't have everything.)
William Tapley The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse and Co-Prophet of the End Times goes on to tell us:
The Lord also revealed something else to me before the election, which I could not let people know until now. On this programme I will reveal how the Lord wants us to act during the years that Obama is President of the United States. The Lord showed me that the presidency of Barack Obama will be similar to the fate of the Israelites as found in Jeremiah chapter 27 where they had to accept the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon. Jeremiah tells the Israelites that they must accept the yoke of the king and that things were going to get worse before they get better. … However, if enough Americans pray from this day forward, we can mitigate the punishments which God will mete out to us.
King Nebuchadnezzar's authority though, as
William Tapley The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse and Co-Prophet of the End Times points out, came from God himself. Therefore if Americans want to survive these years of Great Tribulation (i.e. Obama's rule) you mustn't criticize him and must do as he says.
In 2012 he wrote a song for the US presidential election not only urging voters to support the Romney-Ryan ticket, but stating that Obama was gay and that after the election Michelle Obama would leave him and he would "shack up" with a man:
Once again the country didn't pray and fast enough so Obama won again. Since then he's been prophesying that Obama will take a third term in office. He made this video 13 months ago – the leaps of logic in which the results in a series of sporting events apparently confirm his prophecy are bizarre to say the least. One example is a horse called Pharoh crossing the finish line at 6.23, and 23 represents two-thirds, which is .66 therefore it represents 666 meaning Obama will take a third term. Makes perfect sense. Serena Williams wearing one black and one white shoe while on the podium at the Olympics means the same thing. He has many examples of proof of his prophesy, just waiting to be discovered. He reveals them all, and his followers regularly let him know new ones they've discovered which he them shares.
After all this it seems that
William Tapley The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse and Co-Prophet of the End Times has decided that Trump is his man, and he's even written a song to celebrate the occasion of his confirmation as the Republican nominee. This is perhaps even more dreadful than his last campaign song:
William Tapley The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse and Co-Prophet of the End Times is not a Poe – he really believes all this stuff and so do his followers. He gives the rest of us a good laugh I suppose, but we really would be better of without these beliefs being part of the discussion.

William Tapley needs to get laid. That may be difficult for him because most ladies shy away from the crazies. frankly, he may just need to spend more time with porn.
Dare I ask who the First and Second Eagles are?
Your comment, however facetiously made, piqued my curiosity, though I'd already posted a comment about Tapley. I'd fully expected to find that it referred to some eagle in the Apocalypse since a recurrent rhetorical device of that book has to do with enumerating groups of beings (such as the Four Horsemen) that are either agents of the divine or of the devil. However, attempting to follow that premise proved fruitless – I find no mention of a group of eagles in Revelations. Then I went to his website and find his explanation exceedingly curious. First off, he's not a Protestant fundamentalist (as I'd also assumed), but a wacko Roman Catholic – the soi-disant Third Eagle in the line of two medieval preacher saints: St. Bernadino of Siena https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardino_of_Siena "Bernardino's legacy was far from benign: of fanatical moralizing temperament, he preached fiery, intransigent sermons against many classes of people. His sermons were riddled with ostensible anti-Semitism, misogyny, and homophobia. He demonized many women as "witches", and called for homosexuals (or "sodomites" as he called them) to be either completely isolated from society or eliminated from the human community. He thus became a major exponent of what historian Robert Moore has called "the persecuting society" of late medieval Christian Europe"; and St. Vincent Ferrer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Ferrer who was bent on converting Jews. Given the Republican platform on homosexuality despite Trump's declaration to protect the LGBT community (notice that Trump spoke only about protecting gays and gay rights with respect to Islamic homophobia, not Christian), and the thinly veiled anti-Semitism in much of the right wing, one could imagine Tapley tapping into this regressive vein of Christian fundamentalism, even though with regard to End Times prophecy, many Protestants still regard the Catholic Church as the Whore of Babylon and the Pope as the Antichrist or his emissary.
Ha, ha, fascinating, Jenny H! And I definitely began to think I was reading the GOP platform when I got to the your expounding on Saints B & V. 😀
What a fruitcake – he makes Nostradamus look rational. Everything Democrats do adds up to 666. He performs little songs for Trump and sees genitalia in every major public building.
So they designed an airport specially to look like a phallus from the air when it snows! Oh loopy li ?
The man has been poisoned by chemtrails.
Calling Doctor Freud! "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Sometimes an airport is just an airport. This is marvelously crazy. I love this kind of nutty scatological exegesis and am genuinely impressed. The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse gave a masterful demonstration of his delusive obsession. I don't regard his obsession as something merely to be ridiculed and dismissed; one can learn a lot from such kookiness, and actually he's the one creating these hidden "discoveries" which he then attributes to demonic agency carried out by artists and architects.
Whether he realizes it or not, he's the one who worships the phallus. First, the cross itself is an ancient phallic symbol, a schematic abstraction of the penis and testes. But even if it weren't, the membrum virile is obviously the supreme fetish object in his fetish house (brain) since he spends an inordinate amount of time obsessing over penises and finds them everywhere. And why stop with art and architecture at the airport? An airplane is a preeminent phallic symbol; does he fly? Guns are phallic symbols as well, and he's all for guns. He is demonstrably fascinated by the phallus, and the word "fascinating" is derived from the Latin "fascinum" "an amulet with the shape of a phallus worn around the neck for the purpose of warding off the evil eye" (The Latin Sexual Vocabulary by J.N. Abrams). When he wears a cross around his neck, while he expatiates about finding dicks and pricks everywhere, he's sporting a fascinum just like the mano fico.
It's no surprise to me that so many of these religious doomers are old. They know their own time here is ebbing and they desperately want jebus to come and destroy the world and save their sorry asses. Dying without witnessing The End would just be a really big bummer; and in their collective hearts they fear that not witnessing The End could mean that they were wrong. NOOOOO! Their prayer is this: please, please, please Lord destroy the world so I can be right!

"To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart."
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I'm a lifestyle photographer, psychologist, painter but most of all - a happy, fulfilled mom, and lucky wife of a man who supports my passion. I was born and raised in Poland, where I lived until my early 30's. I fell in love and moved to US in 2011, got married, and gave birth to the most loved 'distractors' in my life, my muses: five-year-old Zuzia and 1.5-year-old Julia.
I am currently working as a newborn lifestyle photographer at Bella Baby Photography (https://www.bellababyphotography.com) at Princeton Health Hospital (https://www.princetonhcs.org). I had been professionally trained by the company in handling newborns and had gone through numerous vaccinations and health tests to make sure the babies are safe in my hands.
My romance with photography started a few years ago. As a head of the marketing department I went through dozens of photographs from various photographers each week for different projects. Thinking about the interactions in the world in terms of image representations had actually triggered my passion. My love for photography started to bloom. My husband, fiancé at that time, bought me my first camera, helped to pursue an art education and strongly supported my dream of pursuing an art career over the years.
My road to photography was long and winding. I obtained an engineering degree from Gdansk University of Technology, then a master's degree in Psychology from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw, Poland. Upon coming to USA, I took classes in oil painting, graphic design and sketching at the Ducret School of Art in New Jersey. Finally, I was lucky to have studied oil painting at the Art Students League of New York, under the tutelage of Mary Beth McKenzie and Thomas Torak, famous American painters. I believe that my journey provides me with a unique perspective on the art of photography.
In the meantime, I had been taking photography workshops with my favorite photographers: Kelly Brown (http://littlepiecesphotography.com.au/), Paulina Duczman (https://paulinaduczman.com), Magdalena Binkiewicz (magdalenabinkiewicz.pl), Monika Serek (monikaserek.com) Adam Kasprzak (dreamphoto.pl), and numerous online photography courses.
And here I am, ready to portray your life with all its sweet moments that make up the beauty and uniqueness of life. If you are interested in something different, something real please contact me. Let me into your life for a while, and in return I will give you an honest tale of yourself and the people you love.
I'm looking forward to telling your story in pictures,

Cash Processing
Cash Processing is one of the most important parts of the Cash Handling services we provide to our customers (banks, retail shops etc.)
G4S allows customers to optimize cash flows, as well as the time-value of their cash. In addition, we decrease our customers' direct cash handling risks and costs.
Cash Processing is a very significant part of banking and trading sectors, requiring huge engagement of time and man power.
Cash Processing includes: cash collection, counting, sorting process *(sorting to cash in circulation and cash for exchange); ATM services (counting, filling strongboxes, replenishment). By outsourcing cash processing services to a company like G4S, banks are relieved of the obligation to have proprietary vaults and have an opportunity to significantly reduce the number employees in the vaults.
Retail shops are relieved of their need to carry the cash from the retail site to the bank on a daily basis. This leads to decrease of risks of robbery and benefits in time-saving in delivering the cash to the bank etc.
Every consignment is insured, which provides customers with complete peace of mind.

My BFF Wendy told me recently that she'd eaten a fabulous dish at a party recently: "sliced sweet potatoes with a thin coating of oil, lots of rosemary, a little salt, baked." Several times, she insisted that I had to make it.
And so, I did.
I adore sweet potatoes - baked, fried, whipped, candied, whatever. Rosemary emits an extraordinary aroma. In this dish, the two combine in a beautiful, simple preparation that lets the ingredients shine.
These sweet potatoes are tender, sweet, slightly caramelized at the edges, fragrant, and delicious. They're easy to make for Thanksgiving, and could even be made ahead of time and reheated to make your preparations easier.
May you have a peaceful, blessed, and happy Thanksgiving with all your favorite loved ones and a feast of fabulous food!
In case you still need some ideas, here are some other suggestions for your holiday menu:
Applesauce Pie
Pomegranate Molasses-Glazed Carrots
Chocolate Pecan Pie
Butterscotch Pumpkin Pudding
Buttermilk Biscuits
Cranberry-Pecan Stuffing
Quince-Glazed Baked Yams
Orange-Glazed Pumpkin Loaf Cake
Brown Sugar Tea Cake with Moscato Glaze
Sweet Potatoes Baked with Rosemary and Salt
- 2 very large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1-1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cut the ends off the sweet potatoes, peel them, and cut them in half lengthwise; place into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with the oil. Add salt and rosemary; stir to coat.
Place the sweet potatoes into a 10" pie pan or casserole dish. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, then stir carefully. Cover with foil and cook for 30 more minutes, until sweet potatoes are very tender.
Serves 8-10.

Bundy defends remarks about slavery
In a fresh statement defending his remarks about slavery, Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy on Friday said Americans are all "in some measure slaves of the federal government," from being controlled by the heavy-handed Bureau of Land Management to answering to the Internal Revenue Service.
In a fresh statement defending his remarks about slavery, Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy on Friday said Americans are all "in some measure slaves of the federal government," from being controlled by the heavy-handed Bureau of Land Management to answering to the Internal Revenue Service.
Bundy also compared his battle with the BLM to graze his cattle on federal land — to which he claims ancestral rights — to Martin Luther King Jr.'s and Rosa Parks' efforts to gain equal rights for blacks in America. It's a comparison that could further inflame critics, who called Bundy a racist after he said blacks on government assistance might be "better off as slaves."
"We are trading one form of slavery for another," Bundy said in a statement emailed to the media Friday morning. "What I am saying is that all we Americans are trading one form of slavery for another. All of us are in some measure slaves of the federal government."
Bundy provided several examples, using his own fight with the BLM, which on April 12 halted a roundup of the rancher's cattle to avoid violence after armed militias from across the country traveled to his ranch to confront the BLM. The agency said Bundy owes more than $1 million in grazing fees and fines and hasn't paid the BLM for more than 20 years. The rancher's son, Ryan Bundy, said the roundup resulted in the death of at least seven animals, with 37 head of cattle still missing.
Bundy had become a folk hero to anti-government supporters and some conservative GOP politicians and candidates after the BLM arrested his son and clashed with other peaceful protesters. But after the New York Times on Thursday published his remarks about low-income blacks and slavery, much of that public support evaporated.
On Friday, the 67-year-old rancher blamed the government for what he characterized as tyrannical tactics.
"Through their oppressive tactics of telling the ranchers how many cows they can have on their land, and making that number too low to support a ranch, the BLM has driven every rancher in Clark County off the land, except me," Bundy said. "The IRS keeps the people of America in fear, and makes us all work about a third or a half of the year before we have earned enough to pay their taxes. This is nothing but slavery from January through May."
Bundy wasn't through, criticizing the National Security Agency for keeping secret watch on Americans.
"The NSA spies on us and collects our private phone calls and emails," he said. "And the government dole, which many people in America are on, and have been for much of their lives, is dehumanizing and degrading. It takes away incentive to work and self respect. Eventually a person on the dole becomes a ward of the government, because his only source of income is a dole from the government. Once the government has you in that position, you are its slave."
Bundy claimed he's fighting for freedom much like civil rights leaders did in the 1960s.
"I am trying to keep Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream alive," Bundy said. "He was praying for the day when he and his people would be free, and he could say I'm free, free at last, thank God I'm free at last! But all of us here (in) America, no matter our race, are having our freedom eroded and destroyed by the federal government because of its heavy-handed tactics. The BLM, the IRS, the NSA — all of the federal agencies are destroying our freedom."
"I am standing up against their bad and unconstitutional laws, just like Rosa Parks did when she refused to sit in the back of the bus," Bundy continued. "She started a revolution in America, the civil rights movement, which freed the black people from much of the oppression they were suffering. … I am doing the same thing Rosa Parks did. I am standing up against bad laws which dehumanize us and destroy our freedom."
Bundy invoked the American Revolutionary War, saying he invited "all people in America to join in our peaceful revolution to regain our freedom."
"Just like the Minutemen at Lexington and Concord, we are saying no to an oppressive government which considers us to be slaves rather than free men," Bundy said.
Later at a press conference in Bunkerville, he talked for 40 minutes, mostly about his interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, the history of the U.S. and the history of cows.
But first he asked for forgiveness from anyone who he might have been offended by his comments about blacks. He said he believes in equal rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion for everyone. "I think they should have the freedoms the Constitution has guaranteed them."
When a follow-up question about race was later asked, he said, "No, I don't want to talk about race."
He repeated his oft-stated belief that he is only governed by the state of Nevada, not the federal government, and that federal courts have no jurisdiction over him.
He said that about a year ago, he talked to county officials he did not name about paying a "production tax" to the county for every cow he sold. The proposal was for $100 a head for cattle that had grazed on public land. Previously he said he had offered to pay the county the grazing fees, but that proposal was rejected.
A Friday night barbecue held by the Bundys drew less than 1oo people, with just a smattering of minorities in attendance. Bundy had invited class members of a school that teaches U.S. citizenship and English to immigrants to the event. The school is run by Republican Niger Innis, an African-American congressional candidate and civil rights advocate who contacted Bundy on Thursday hoping to convince the rancher how wrong his inflammatory remarks were.

Just as suddenly as it entered the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) after a decades-long hiatus in 2011, the BMW Group's MINI brand is abandoning the sport.
On Friday afternoon, the British carmaker announced that it will terminate its works involvement in the WRC at the end of the 2012 season by withdrawing its financial support for "WRC Team Mini Portugal".
The bad news came from Kay Segler, Senior Vice President MINI Business Coordination and Brand Management.
"MINI will abandon its works involvement in the WRC at the end of the 2012 season," said Segler.
The MINI exec said that since the brand will complete the season, the Countryman John Cooper Works-based racecar will have achieved its homologation obligations, thus allowing private teams to compete with the car in the series on a customer rallying basis.
Segler added: "BMW Motorsport will continue to further develop the 1.6-litre turbo engine in conjunction with Prodrive. In a very difficult commercial environment, MINI has played an active role in ensuring that friends of the MINI brand can continue to participate in motorsport. As such, the MINI family is retaining its presence on various international platforms and getting even closer to its customers."
The automaker pointed out that Prodrive will still be able to run, optimize and sell the Countryman JCW WRC in the future.
In its fairly short stint in the WRC, the Countryman collected three podiums and several top-ten finishes, with its biggest success coming from Dani Sordo (ES) in January of 2012, when he finished second at the comeback of the brand at the famed Monte Carlo Rally.

The probably best-known case of a lost or stolen instrument was when in 1999, world-famous musician Yo-Yo Ma left his prized cello (worth $2.5 million) on the back seat a New York City cab. After a long search, NYPD officers tracked down the valuable and 266 years-old rare instrument in a Queens garage. But there are more lost violins.
Then, some years ago, Chouhei Min, the famed Minnesota Orchestra violinist, lost her Guadagnini violin (crafted in 1778 in Turin, Italy, and valued at more than $500,000) as it was stolen from the Minneapolis Mount Olive Lutheran Church basement.
Now, Boston MBTA police officials say they've found a missing violin that's worth $40,000. This story will really touch your heart. The violin was lost on June 10, just around midnight, when its owner accidentally left it behind at Boston's South Station.
On Tuesday, the MBTA Transit Police called for the public's help to identify and trace a woman who the police said held the precious instrument, though the $40,000 violin did not belong to her.
On late Tuesday night, police officials said that the exclusive violin had been found, without saying where exactly and how the precious instrument had been located.
Police officials stated that the person (a Boston woman) who had scooped the violin up at the South Station location last week, was no longer suspected of stealing the violin and that she assists with the ongoing investigation. The violin's owner was waiting for her train and she had put her things down. Then, we don't quite know what happened, but sometimes people just forget things. So she forgot her instrument and boarded the train, according to Transit Police officials.
After the woman initially had left the instrument behind, she went a couple of stops down T before realizing she no longer was in possession of the precious instrument. Apparently, an unidentified woman then took the violin with her.
Tuesday morning, Transit Police officials posted a clear picture online of the woman they believed to have picked up the precious violin. The police posting read "Know her? Contact us when you recognize her". Obviously, all information that could lead to identifying the woman who took the violin would be helpful to locate the instrument and get it back to its rightful owner.
This was not the first time that a precious musical instrument has gotten lost on the T. In the Boston Globe archives we can read that in 2010, Berklee College of Music professor Valerie Rose Taylor had left her violin in a crowded Boston bus. Fortunately, she was reunited with her violin pretty quickly through the help of some committed T employees.
Taylor was recorded saying that losing her 1968 precious instrument, which is not just a violin but has sentimental value as well, was feeling like leaving her leg behind. And in 2013 it happened that a Boston musician accidentally left his flute (valued at $5,000) behind at Park Street station. The precious flute picked up fortunately by a stranger who had the flute returned to the musician.

Philippines Replicates New Environmental Compliance Assistance Center
The Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) recently established an Environmental Compliance Assistance Center (ECAC) catering to local government units (LGUs) in the country. The center will provide fast and reliable technical assistance to local government authorities and officials for their environment- related concerns. The establishment of the ECAC for LGUs is the agency's response to improve understanding and strengthen capacity of local agencies both as enforcers of environmental laws and also as operators of regulated establishments. A physical center and interactive website had been launched to directly assist LGUs.
In 2009, the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), also under the DENR, piloted ECACs for selected sectors within the Laguna de Bay region. Mechanisms and systems developed, insights and learnings in running these ECACs contributed to the establishment of the new center. The ECO-Asia program, with support from USAID, and technical assistance from US EPA, facilitated exchanges and assisted LLDA in establishing the first ECACs under the Asian Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Network (AECEN).

|Sighting Report
|Occurred : 10/10/2013 20:30 (Entered as : 10/10/2013 20:30)
Reported: 10/10/2013 6:38:38 PM 18:38
Posted: 10/14/2013
Location: Grand Blanc, MI
Shape: Light
Duration:20 minutes
|3 bright lights holding a vertical position over central Michigan, USA.
Just after sunset, just above the NE horizon. Both the Moon and Venus are bright in the sky, and I was aware of them both, so I did not confuse the additional lights with planets, satellites or stars. There were 3 bright lights in a straight, vertical line. They were not moving. They were not flashing. I kept a close eye on them during my drive home, they slowly dimmed and disappeared over the 20 mins that I was watching them. I am certain they were not airplanes or helicopters.
There were no flashing lights, nor did they change position at all during the time I viewed them. I am not ready to believe they were aliens, but they were certainly up in the sky, maintaining a constant altitude, and they all left within 1 minute of one another. It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen.
To finish up, I do not use a smartphone or else I would've taken photos and/or video. My wife called me during my drive home to ask if I saw the lights. She saw them as well, independently of myself. I am submitting this in hopes that it can be cross-referenced with other sightings in the area. There IS an airport in near-by Flint, MI, and I did see 2 airplanes flying in the vicinity. I assumed they were just landing like normal. Neither aircraft seemed to be related to the other lights in the sky, nor were they any sort of response to the lights in the sky.
Thats it! I know others had to have seen them, hope you get some good info.

This watch is a passion project that strengthens the unity of two brands I hold in high regards: Nike and the LIVESTRONG Foundation. The goal is to raise awareness for the foundation by creating a fashionable timepiece that would motivate people to buy and wear with pride.
The LIVESTRONG Foundation works to identify the issues faced by cancer survivors in order to comprehensively improve quality of life for members of the global cancer community.
A percentage of every purchase benefits the foundation, and wearing the watch is a stylish, useful way to pledge your support.
The design blends the visual queues of LIVESTRONG's iconic wristband with the look, feel, and innovative qualities that Nike is famous for.
The PVD brushed black stainless steel module fits snugly into the pocket of the silicone watch band. The racetrack shaped protrusion on the back of the module plugs into the opening to ensure alignment.
The result is a sport yet approachable timepiece that can be worn with active or casual wear. The yellow bezel on the dial follows the language of the brand, and an open notch on the minute hand aligns over the minute-mark etching for accuracy.
The replaceable bands give your watch longevity, and lends itself to the possibility of buying different color bands that correspond to specific types of cancer ribbons.

Youth FX Crew Works On Local Indie Film/
Exciting week for some of our Youth FX crew who for the past week have been on the set of As You Are, a indie feature film directed by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte and co-written by Madison Harrison. Both of them made some of their first movies when they were in junior high as part of a film program taught by YFX program director Bhawin Suchak at The Free School.
As You Are is an exploration of youth identity before and after a tragic incident involving three friends. Set in Albany, NY in the early 1990's, the film stars some major up and coming actors: Owen Campbell (BOARDWALK EMPIRE), Amandla Stenberg (HUNGER GAMES, MR. ROBINSON) and Charlie Heaton (of the forthcoming Netflix series STRANGER THINGS and 2016 Luc Besson film SHUT IN) and Mary Stuart Masterson (from "The Postman," "Benny & Joon")
Two of our Youth FX crew, Darian Henry and Michael Mejia, have been hired to work on set as production assistants, and others are shooting behind the scenes video, taking photos, assisting with wardrobe and playing some key extras in the film. One of our actors, Majestic Tillman, will also have a small role in the film.
The film has been on location at Albany High School, the former Bishop Maginn High School, Red Hook and at an incredible quarry. There has been an incredible amount of learning going on, and we're so hyped to be on a set of this scale and working with some incredibly talented people from the cinematography team to the style and wardrobe team.

Why are Nevada Asset Protection Trusts more effective than other States' Asset Protection Trusts?
Nevada Asset Protection Trusts, also known as Self-settled Spendthrift Trusts, are an extremely effective means for people, including business professionals, small business owners, and anyone else with assets to protect, to protect those assets from possible future lawsuits and financial disputes.
Nevada is ranked as the #1 State for Asset Protection Trusts.
Not every state allows any form of Asset Protection Trust. Nevada has one of the shortest statute of limitations periods of any State that does allow them. What does that mean? It means that if someone sues the grantor (the person creating the trust) and obtains a judgment against them, Nevada provides even greater protection than a normal trust, by making it virtually impossible for that creditor to go after any asset that has been in the trust for at least two years. Nevada is one of only two states that don't allow for any "exception creditors." Other states that have asset protection trusts usually make exceptions, allowing certain creditors to disregard the rule that assets of the trust are protected. In Nevada, there are no exceptions. No-one can get past the barrier between the grantor's assets and the Trust's assets. Nevada trust law is unusual in allowing the same person to be the creator, the trustee, and the beneficiary of certain types of trusts.
Many States do not allow the same person to wear every hat. Depending on the type of trust, and the residency of the grantor, Nevada often does. Whether doing this is in the best of interest of a particular grantor depends on many factors, which should be discussed in depth with your attorney. However, in many instances, this ability can make the formation of a trust substantially less complicated
Why are Nevada Trusts more effective than other States' Trusts? Nevada has an unusual statute (NRS 163.417) that makes it very difficult for a creditor, or even a court (!) to go after assets held by a trust. Let's look at an example of how this can help people who have formed a Nevada trust:
Let's say that you are in an automobile accident. Someone in the other car is very seriously injured, and racks up hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Although you are a good and careful driver, and you think it was the other driver's fault, the court decides that it was actually your fault, awards a large judgment against you. The judgment is so big that it would wipe out the savings you worked long and hard to create, and hoped to leave for the benefit of your loved ones. Now that other driver's attorney is coming after you to collect the judgment. Let's also say that you had set up a trust, and placed all your significant assets in it. Are those assets safe? Depending on the state where you set up the trust, the safety of those assets might not be assured.
Under Nevada law, the assets in the trust are much more likely to be unreachable than under the laws of many other States.

Recently, I've been challenged to practice what I preach.
My husband and I have always proclaimed ourselves "prolife" and that we are open to children in our new marriage. All my life I've worked well with children. In fact, I loved children so much I initially entered college intending to be an elementary school teacher and worked as a tutor and teaching aid before I switched my major. However, as I graduated from college, I began to take my career more seriously and slowly the feeling that children were poisonous to my personal goals –a feeling shared by many in my generation- began to creep into my mind. Then, a stressful stint as an au pair abroad in Spain the summer after graduation with a difficult family made me feel that having children was indeed distasteful. I wanted to do so much with my life: start my career, enjoy leisurely time with my new husband and, most importantly, live life on MY terms. I didn't want to take care of anyone's needs but my own. Unconsciously, I began to believe that children would get in the way of all of that.
As someone who faces life changes with resistance and trepidation, I easily buy into the mentality of "enlightened" millenials which is constantly bombard with the rhetoric of "choice" and "success," yet which shies away from commitment in everything except career choices.
So, despite my proclaimed beliefs on being open to life, when I discovered I was pregnant, I feared that my life was being disrupted forever, and that like popular culture proclaims, my own life would not have room for me anymore. My future was out of my control, and I was dismayed. And I felt ashamed at my initial reaction, which made me feel even worse. To make things worse, many people around me made it clear that they thought I was destroying my future by having a child. It was easy to buy into their words.
The following months of pregnancy I grappled not only with physical changes, but with internal changes as well. I struggled with my own innate selfishness. I had to admit that I was afraid of not being the only important person in my life and in my husband's eyes. I had to face my insecurities on having to switch the career path that I had envisioned for myself. I feared sacrificing myself through the physical discomforts and pains of pregnancy and childbirth and the sacrifices in the years that would follow as I raised my little boy and any other children that would follow. These fears contrasted my belief that children bring innocence, joy and hope, and that raising them would better me as a person and give me the privilege of seeing life grow.
After cycling through cynicism and happiness during my pregnancy, I had to sit down and really ask myself: am I truly open to life? Why was I buying into the belief that this child will only cause loss in my life?
Around the time Mother Teresa was being canonized, I stumbled upon an article about Mother Teresa and her stance on abortion and her interactions with Hilary Clinton. I was struck by a quote by Mother Teresa.
"But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion," Mother Teresa said, "Because Jesus said, 'If you receive a little child, you receive me.' So every abortion is the denial of receiving Jesus, the neglect of receiving Jesus."
Through this quote I realized that the Lord was telling me that not accepting this pregnancy was the same as not accepting Him in my life. As a believer in Christ, I was struggling with the most fundamental task: accepting life, and therefore, accepting Christ in my life in a way that I couldn't 100% control. This pregnancy taught me empathy as well. I had plenty of resources and support and still struggled with my pregnancy; how much more frightening is it for women to keep children when they don't have any support or resources! Now, instead of judging women who contemplate having abortions, I feel much more empathetic and am now determined to support those organizations that provide support and resources for women struggling with pregnancy.
Several months later, I welcomed my child into this world in what was the most painful and yet one of the most amazing moments in my life. As I held my child, I wanted to weep that I had been dismayed at this beautiful gift that was already regarding me with such innocence and trust. Yes, my life as I knew it ended when I had a child; but by no means did it end. My life- and this new life- is just beginning. And I want to live my life in testament to that.

Malaysian logistics startup Zoom has raised a RM4 million (US$1.01 million) in a Pre-Series A round led by Gobi Partners. Other participating investors include Cana Asia, Spiral Ventures, and Cradle Fund.
Founded in 2015, the Klang Valley-based startup provides an online delivery service platform for businesses. Its features include a dashboard that manages all deliveries, and an app that allows Zoomers to track the tasks. The company also employs professional delivery riders called Zoomers.
Currently, Zoom has over 80 Zoomers but also manages 300 registered freelancers. To date, over 200 businesses have registered on the platform, with 80 per cent of them using it on a daily basis.
Zoom recently won the "Startup of the Year" award at the ASEAN Rice Bowl Startup Awards.
The startup plans to use the newly-raised funding to strengthen its services in Klang Valley, expand its operation to Penang and Johor Bahru, then tackle the Indonesian and Thai market next year.

It will also start white-labelling the interface for corporate clients that want to manage their logistics internally, but use Zoom's system for the automation of grouping and assigning deliveries.
"Traditional delivery agents are just not conditioned to do on-demand deliveries for them; they don't have the effective mechanisms," said Zoom's co-founder Jeevan Kumar.
"Therefore, it becomes difficult and expensive for startups to use the current delivery options available in the market, due to their usually small basket sizes and scale issues," said Kumar.

Leveraging client feedback and the best thinking available in the learning development field, The Situational Leadership II Experience (SLX) incorporates feedback from countless trainers who have spent millions of hours of classroom time training and showing managers of all levels, across all industries, how Situational Leadership II is an effective skill for improving leadership behaviours.
The SLII Experience flips the classroom design and increases learner participation, engagement, and excitement. Technology is used extensively to engage the learner, who can access leadership training content online before, during, and after the program. The new design offers more flexibility and self-paced elearning whenever possible to accommodate competing time demands we all face, but still provides the deep practice that only comes from experiential classroom work.
Because learning happens over time, we've crafted a four-phase learning process: Launch, Learn, Practice, and Master. Your people can hone new leadership skills in bite-sized learning activities, which leads to greater retention. Learners gain access to content outside the classroom, and the elearning assets in The SLII Experience provide multiple learning resources for downloading and sharing back-on-the-job.
The SLII leadership training curriculum engages learners quickly, offers extensive opportunities to build and practice skills, and provides follow-up support for deploying those skills with existing work teams. Virtual learning, traditional classroom, and blended options offer flexibility for trainers while the interactive design keeps the learning journey fresh for participants. The SLII Experience is a comprehensive learning experience that gives leaders a deeper understanding and mastery of SLII concepts.

About 2 weeks ago I cleaned my desk at work. It was looking pretty impressive. But then I opened ped and then I felt horrible about myself. Why? It was a disaster!
I go from extremes- complete OCD about everything in a line, color coded, alphabetized to utter chaos. I was a kid who would write notes during class and then when I got home I would rewrite them in neat penmenship. And then I would file it in order in the class my color coded binder. This really did last until my 2nd year of college and then I realized I was losing sleep over having perfectly copied and organized notes. So now I go between neat and chaos.
-This is chaos-
I took about 30 minutes to clean it out, do an inventory, return some things to our main supply closet, and reorganizing.
Why did I have 42 packets of ketchup?
1. I like ketchup
2. I would always grab ketchup from the cafeteria downstairs when I bought something, weather I needed it or not.
3. I like ketchup.
So, no, I was not going to throw it out. That is just wasteful. This just means I need to eat more egg white omelets and stop grabbing ketchup.

- Use the Forestry Assistance Locator to find cooperating foresters, DNR service foresters or tax law forestry specialists for your county.
- View the current Directory of Foresters [PDF].
Cooperating foresters
Foresters at a training session in Richland County.
The DNR began the cooperating forester program in 1989. Cooperating Foresters provide assistance to private landowners on a contract or fee basis, which the landowner pays. Cooperating Foresters can be either consulting foresters or industrial foresters who sign a Cooperating Forester Agreement to comply with DNR standards for responsible forestry. Consulting foresters are private foresters who represent private landowners. Industrial Foresters are employed by wood-using industries that provide advice and assistance to private landowners to promote forestry practices approved by the companies for whom they work.
Private consulting foresters and industrial foresters voluntarily apply to participate, are listed in a DNR published directory in the Forestry Assistance Locator and receive referrals from DNR foresters. In return, cooperating foresters must comply with DNR standards and rules when giving forest management advice. Cooperating foresters must also attend continuing education courses and file periodic reports with the department.
In addition to many of the same services offered by DNR foresters, cooperating foresters may provide:
- complete timber sale services (timber marking, volume calculations, bid specifications, sale negotiation, sale supervision, contract preparation, sale administration, etc.);
- custom tree planting and forest improvement services (including labor);
- forest pest control applications;
- timber income tax consulting;
- forest appraisals for tax or investment purposes;
- expert witness testimony in trespass and damage claims;
- acquisition and sale of private forest land;
- Christmas tree management;
- road layout and design;
- forest resource and economic studies; and
- commercial recreation planning and development.
