some of the suggestions here (account wide / single colour choice etc) seem much fairer. I am willing to spend money on extra cosmetic options - but not at these prices.

I don't have the expansion yet, but I'm hoping to buy it some time in the future, either with free TP earned or with real money. However, 595 for a color for a warsteed is way over priced. The highest priced normal dye is 100 TP in the store. THat seems like reasonable amount for people who don't have a scholar/won't pay in-game money to buy dyes.
I heard that the dyes for the war steeds can NOT be made by scholars. This seems not fair.... Why give scholars the option to make dye for clothing/equipment, but not for horses? I guess because we're supposed to buy the colors in the store. And with prices of 595 TP for one color (not even a stack of colors) is just plain... outrageous.
This means that for people who don't have the money to pay for character bound items, things become rapidly... not so fun anymore.
This was really a wrong move, in my opinion.
Oh, just to clarify: I sign and agree with the suggestions.
I would love to hear from staff/developers why Scholars can't make the dyes for the warsteeds too. After all, we already do it for equipment, so why not for warsteeds?

I was just checking the dev tracker, and saw that bag prices had increased too, and saw something that Sapience had stated and it's kinda upsetting me even more. I don't know how to quote from another thread, but here's what he said that upset me, copied and pasted....
"Also, over 2200 items in the LOTRO Store were adjusted. About 16% of those saw a price increase of some amount. They're currently on sale for the same amount off as they were increased. Until October the 29th."
They increased the price of 16% of the items in the store, and they are charging this much for the war-steed dye packs? Greedy much, Turbine?
At this point in time, I have decided that I will not buy any more Turbine Points until things change. I may not even keep my VIP. If I need anything from the store, I will just grind deeds until I get it for free, but I will not spend another dime on over-priced digitial fluff. I urge everyone to do the same, as this is the only way we will see change.

This is just getting crazy. Bad enough that the mounts cost about 20.00 for ONE CHARACTER. Since I really dedicate to one, it didn't affect me as much. But you have now ensured that policy will continue, and any future potential profits from me have been nullified.

/signed. Last time i buy anything extra from turbine. i bought the legendary expac. there should at least be basic colors in there. those price are so ignorant. sure they may sell a few to the "i must have it nao" crowd, but the vast majority will not buy it.
So not only did many things get a price increase, but deeds also saw a reward decrease. Did anyone notice you no longer get 10tp for the "Advanced" slayer deeds? You get the usual 5tp just as on the basic ones, at least on the advanced slayer deed I received. Is that a bug? Hrm..Originally Posted by Lethareth

No. It's not 16% of the items in the Store. On 16% of the items that were changed, that change was a price increase. The other 84% of the changes were not. In fact a lot of them were price decreases. Even on the ones that were increased, we're given until nearly the end of the month to get them at the previous price. And I notice you don't bring up the other things we were all given for free, like an extra 20 slots of wardrobe space.
Make the dyes/armor craftable, perhaps account wide for store-purchased pieces? Definitely needs a drop in price.
The expansion and mounted combat is so far, all I had hoped for! Excellent job on RoR, this seems to be the only let-down.
It's just the Steed of Eastemnet cosmetics. Which you cannot dye, even if you have the dyes.
- 600 TPs for a pack with four preselected dyes = 150 TPs per single dye. Translation? ~1,87$ per dye.
- Pre-purchased mounts that were advertised as granting "the matching War-steed Appearance!" do not grant the hide dye of the steed, nor the equipment in the colour the original mount possesses.
- In order to bring one's war-steed look closer to the pre-purchased mount's look, one must spend at least (1 colour pack + 1 equipment dye pack = 595 x 2) 1190 TPs in addition to the purchase price of the mount (1995 TPs). Perhaps even more (1785 TPs), if the chosen mount's mane and tail colours are not to be found in the same colour pack as the mount's hide.

Oh Turbine. You promoted the hell out of this expansion, bombed us with email after email practically begging people to buy it, released a plethora of videos promising mount customization, reiterated over and over that if we bought certain store exclusive steeds that we could duplicate the look on our war mounts, convinced us to pay more than the cost of a new game because we couldn't wait to try it out and just HAD to have the full experience.......
Then, when the magic day comes, all of the rabid cosmetics fans find themselves staring hopelessly in disbelief, clicking away at new icons and trying desperately to find all of the promised sugar and fluff that is mysteriously missing -- only to discover that you guys have suddenly decided that we haven't paid enough for our gaming happiness.
It's kind of like at the end of Willy Wonka (the original movie,) when, after being promised a lifetime supply of chocolate, poor Charlie, who has scrounged and struggled just to experience this fantastic (yet frequently disturbing) adventure, is unexpectedly denied his prize because of some unreadable fineprint in the contract.
Look, we understand that this game is not centered around cosmetics, that there are a million others who care more about playable content, and you have given us that. But let's be realistic. Over the last couple of years, you have built up and fine-tuned a cosmetics system that could rival the Sims series, and this has been a huge asset to your store, your game experience, and your fans. Those of us who spend more time acquiring and matching outfits than we do questing don't mind spending some extra money now and then for something fun from the store. You have always been very reasonable with your prices, and for those who commit to the VIP experience, those extra points have been very helpful in contributing to keep the costs low and balanced, particularly when most of us have jobs and life responsibilities and can't always play our money's worth in game time.
But this unexpected stinginess with the war mount customization leaves a very bad impression and makes us wonder if we are to expect some permanent unpleasant changes in our gaming future. With games like Guild Wars 2 in competition, I can't help but feel apprehensive about this new direction and the fate of LotRO. If you guys really need the money, raising costs on the loyal buyers isn't going to do it. Please listen to your customers and fans and make an effort to meet us halfway. Don't ruin a good thing.
Come on, Turbine. Give us some sugar.
Everyone's pretty much said what I've been thinking, so I'll simply add, absolutely /signed.

I'm usually quite happy to support Turbine by buying some things at the store. But I certainly won't even consider buying mount dyes at that price.

Well.. So are all cosmetic items, really. On top of that you are free to use them on *any* character and they don't expire either. And there is preciously few cosmetic items over 300TP. Placing just a few colors on price-point double from that is... curious, to say the least.
As it is now, I won't be ever spending any points on any warsteed cosmetics. Which is sad, and a thing I was really looking forward to. But at these prices.. dream on.
As said earlier, all the prices were 1TP in beta so we couldn't comment on them back then. Be we DID mention, several times, that the system as it was mandated that the prices were low, or to change them to account-based system. A "horse-wardrobe" was suggested multiple times on beta.

Some of use have Several alts I have a few friends who have DOZENS Turbine.
I can't not begin to express how upset i was when i got the color pack on my rk, & in order to use on my hunter needed to buy it again. almost 600 tp for 4 colors per toon it a ripped off.
This coming from someone who quite literally dumps money in the lotro store for things like mounts and such. but Unless this is changed, I will not spend a dime on the store again.

The current cosmetic prices are a bit too rich. I am VIP so money is not always an issue since I get the 500 TP every month. Sadly, it is limited to one character instead of being granted account wide, and the color packs - like others have mentioned - give limited options. I sure hope Turbine listens to their customers, or they may end up finding themselves losing many dispirited cosmetic junkies from the game.

Some of you guys post are just silly. They are not going to make these dyes craftable in game me and alot of my friends have already spent $40 to $60 RL dollars on these colors and thousands of other players. The best you guys can hope for here is that they make the account wide sorry but in my opinion this is how everything will go down.
Game designers, customer service reps, musical composers, GM's, tech teams they do not do there work for free.
Good Luck guys

"Thousands" is a bit much. Out of all characters on Elendilmir, I have only seen three or four with horses that weren't the default gray color. What's silly is paying the same amount or more on horse colors as you paid for the expansion itself, when horse colors aren't nearly as valuable as the game is. Also, many of us are giving suggestions that will allow Turbine to make more money on sales, not suggesting that they should work for free.

Stop me if you've heard these before.
An anthropologist was visiting a remote tribe. He was kept up all night be tribal drumming that never stopped. After a few days, he asked his native informant about the drumming. When would it ever stop? The informant told him, you don't want it to stop. When it stops, something very, very, very, bad happens. What? Asked the anthropologist?
Bass solo.
A couple was in marriage counseling. They could not communicate. Finally, the therapist brought in Ron Carter to play bass. Eventually, the couple began to talk to each other and ironed out their differences. They thanked their therapists profusely, and the therapist said, "It was easy: Everyone talks during the bass solo."
A lot of white saxophonist imitated Lester Young's style during the 1950s cool jazz craze and were quite successful. In fact, the whole movement was based on Lester's style. They asked Lester about it, and he replied: "What Lester plays, Stans Getz."

Name of Gym: MJ Pilates & Wellness LLC
Name of Owner: Monica Jodi Heiz
Website: www.mjpilateswellness.com
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 718-673-1294
[ Q ] How did the gym start and why did you decide to begin the gym business?
Fitness is my passion. Fitness makes me feel good. Fitness brings me joy. I created my studio to share these feelings with others. A place they can come in and leave the world outside and feel what I feel, within themselves.
My mother instilled those values she shared with her father in me and taught me to be kind, love and honor myself for who I am and what I believe in.
It's because of the unconditional love she shared with me and taught me that I opened my studio. I wanted a place to share my love and kindness with others. I needed a place to create those strong energy dynamics I shared with my mother which held my family together and raised me to be the woman I am.
[ Q ] Can you give us a description on what went into opening your awesome establishment?
I can tell you my heart and my intuition went into opening my studio. I trusted my intuition from choosing the paint color to preparing my programming.
A big thanks to my dear friends Michael for painting my studio and Adam for his work on laying the bamboo floor. You guys mean the world to me for believing in my vision. I want to thank the training programs and educators I studied with for creating trainings that step outside the box and challenge what we "know" in the world of Fitness/ Health and Medicine.

- Paul Chek www.chekinstitute.com
- Tom Myers www.anatomytrains.com
- Dr. Lipman www.drfranklipman.com
- Bill Wolcott, Dodie and Bruce Anderson www.metabolictyping.com
The founders of these organizations believe in a better way to health and wellness than drugs. These professionals inspired me to create a place of my own to follow my own rule.
[ Q ] What makes your gym different?
My clients are a direct reflection of me and my work. I take great pride in my clients succeeding, learning and moving forward in their lives using health and wellness as the vehicle. There is no judgment, each person is an individual and I treat them that way - from private clients to group classes - I listen to their needs.
Clients come to my studio to feel, engage and share in my energy. I am a hands on trainer. I use my hands, verbal descriptions and visual cues for clients to tap into their sense to connect to their bodies. I want them to take what they learn from me and apply it to other areas of their lifestyle.
[ Q ] What sort of people do you attract into your gym?
My clients are open minded, social people that like to share and learn. They are all ages and all fitness levels. I say I attract those that want progress, want change and are willing to do the work for it.
[ Q ] What inspires people to train at your facility?
Knowing that they are going to leave feeling alive, free and ready to take on anything! I inspire them - my happiness and energy shines through when I teach them. I encourage them, point out the improvements. I want them to feel good.
I encourage them to explore and create movement in their bodies. I practice what I teach, what I believe. I am a National Aerobic Champion and NPC Fitness Competitor.
[ Q ] What is your educational background?
I have a B.S. Degree in Nutrition and Fitness from Florida State University, AFAA & ACE Group Fitness Instructor, NASM Personal Training, Wellcoaches Wellness Coach, STOTT Pilates Instructor, Metabolic Typing Advisor and Anatomy Trains. I am a 2005 USA National Aerobic Champion, and currently a Fitness competitor and previously a Figure and Bikini competitor.
[ Q ] What special services do you provide?
Along with Pilates and personal training, I am educated in Nutrition, and wellness coaching. I run a program called "Create the Body YOU Want". Included are 2 Pilates classes per week, a 45 minute weekly wellness coaching session, a nutrition plan and daily motivational quotes.
The program is very successful, giving clients the tools needed to be accountable for their choices, make food decisions and understanding what the impact will be, how to plan, prepare, pack foods.
The twice a week Pilates provides structure and a program they need to commit to. I am a "No excuses" kind of woman, and I coach my clients that way - it's one of the tools I share with them.
There is so much information in the media around food/nutrition, exercise, stress and our country's health condition. I send them articles regularly on these topics including genetically modified foods, sustainable coffee with low chemical input.
I show my clients and educate them that there is a better way to health through the foods we eat, supplementation, movement and sharing positive energy.
[ Q ] What is the hardest part about operating your gym?
When I put this much of my heart, soul and passion into it, nothing is "hard". It's a work in progress, following my dream. Nothing feels as good as that!

I Show My Clients And Educate Them That There Is A Better Way To Health
Through The Foods We Eat, Supplementation, Movement
And Sharing Positive Energy.
[ Q ] What makes you competitive over other gyms?
My attention to detail. I want my clients to succeed, learn and progress. My classes are small, maximum of 6 people so I can get my hands on each person.
For my one-on-one training I look, listen and feel the energy of the client when they walk through the door to determine their training for the day.
I listen. Everything shows in their face and body language. Clients always leave feeling refreshed, alive and a sense of lightness. I offer clients that take 2 classes per week 1 free class on the weekend. It's my way of thanking them for staying committed to themselves and my teaching.
[ Q ] How have you been able to remain so successful and how do you hope to remain so?
I love what I do and I love my studio - this is my success. I follow my heart, my passion, my dreams - this is my success. I share this in my studio with my clients through love and kindness - that is my success. I provide a place where people can come to feel good, feel alive and leave feeling the world is theirs.
[ Q ] Any additional thoughts you'd like to share with us?
MJ Pilates & Wellness comes from my heart, my dreams and my passion. It comes from the values my mother instilled in me to be kind, gracious, confident and ambitious.
In 2007 I opened my studio because I want to create a place where passion, creativity, health, wellness, movement and unconditional love is nurtured. The studio is a reflection of my mothers love for me and I can share a piece of that with my students.
I offer pre/post natal classes where mothers-to-be can bond, interact and share with each other. I invite new moms and their newborns in to classes to feel and let go of society's pressures, accepting the crying babies. There is no rule book on motherhood, I want them to share the joys of motherhood with all of us in the studio!
Now 20 years later, our society has created it to be "normal" to treat with drugs - there's a drug for everything, and everyone is on a drug. I believe people can be treated through food, with kindness and unconditional love - this is my passion, my dream my studio.
My clients that sign up for my Create the Body You Want Program I send positive emails to every morning. The idea is to keep them thinking positive thoughts, inspire and encourage them.
My Studio is so much more than a business - it's a place of feeling alive, connecting and sharing. It's the gift from my mother I get to use every day and I love it!

Newest Jordan Spiz'ikes
Posted 01-06-2009 at 02:54 AM by alessandroacq
Well I guess they're not so new anymore since they're on Flight Club, but never the less these are the latest Spiz'ikes released by Nike (well Jordan). They are pretty simple, containing mostly shades of gray, black and white. Nothing really special here, just an overpriced Jordan sneaker. Well if you're looking for something simple hit up flight club and get a pair. Otherwise...save up that money for a pair of Gucci Spiz'ikes!

Pouilly and Fuissé are two distinct villages in the Mâconnais. The large wine area actually covers 4 villages to produce a good white wine sold under the name of Pouilly Fuissé.
Although Pouilly Fuissé should be drunk when age 5, it can be forgotten in a cellar for a very long time as it can possibly age 20 years or even more !
Pouilly Fuissé should not be confused with Pouilly Fumé, a white wine from the Loire Valley.

Klondike Gold samples 179 g/t Au at Lone Star
2012-11-14 09:40 ET - News Release
Mr. Erich Rauguth reports
Klondike Gold Corp. has released additional new gold exploration results on Lone Star property, Yukon Territory, for Nugget and Upper Eldorado Creek sampling, as well as further results strengthening the Violet to 310 vein trend.
Exploration highlights:
Site investigation by the company's technical team has found that the trend of the upper Nugget zone can be extended on surface. Select samples were collected, including a grab sample of 179 g/t Au with 78 g/t Ag (30-gram fire assay with gravimetric overlimit). Results support future drilling to test the Nugget zone at depth and along strike toward the Buckland zone quartz veins. Active placer mining in the Oro Grande gulch suggests a source for gold in the area where the Buckland and Nugget zones are assumed to intersect, however, previous operators have allocated little work to linking the zones. Exploration for the purpose of linking the Nugget and Buckland zones will be an endeavour of the company in the 2013 exploration season.
The company views the possibility of high-grade quartz veins over this 1,000-metre strike length as being very positive. Both the Nugget and Buckland zones have significant high-grade results from work performed the company and by previous operators, some of which are in the relevant table.
PREVIOUS NUGGET ZONE AND BUCKLAND ZONE RESULTS Nugget zone bulk sampling Weight of sample (kg) Grade (g/t Au) 05NZ-B7-A 1886 6.46 05NZ-B4-B 2769 8.61 Nugget zone drilling Interval (m) 06NZ02 28.9 to 29.9 98.68 06NZ03 25.6 to 26.5 30.15 Buckland zone drilling Interval (m) 07BU03 6 to 8 4.785 07BU03 19 to 21 13.48 incl. 20 to 21 22.6 07BU03 26 to 27 4.51 07BU04 51 to 53 8.59 incl. 52.0 to 52.5 24.9 Notes: An unspecified amount of wall rock was included in the bulk samples, likely diluting grade.
Prospecting in the vicinity of Upper Eldorado Creek was conducted in early September, 2012. This area was selected for its lithological and gold chemistry similarities to the Boulder lode, historical anomalous results, as well as significant unexplained placer gold with grain morphology pointing to a proximal source. The company was encouraged by samples of visible gold in two locations separated by approximately 100 metres. In one specimen, the visible gold hosted in a quartz vein is filling a void and is best described as a hackly nugget approximately 0.6 centimetre across. The veins can be seen in historic trenches, however, trench floor sampling in the early 1990s did not sample these veins, which were in the wall of the trench. The veins visible in the trenches were a stacked system of up to five north-dipping veins over two metres to three metres of true width. Assays from the veins (not including the visible gold specimens) show up to 98.8 g/t Au with 20.7 g/t Ag in ICP analysis, with fire assay results pending. Of the 28 Upper Eldorado Creek prospecting samples, the average grade was 4.22 g/t Au, with six samples in the set over one g/t Au. Trenching and mapping of these vein systems will be a goal of the 2013 exploration season.
On Violet Ridge, the Violet to 310 zone trend exploration continued into September, 2012, with the addition of an infill soil line and targeted prospecting along the trend. The results of this work, in addition to further research on historical results, have better defined the Violet to 310 zone mineralization. The mineralization appears to be in at least two parallel trends, with both showing sharp soil anomalies of 20 parts per billion to 100 parts per billion Au. The four-plus-kilometre extent of the Violet vein system to 310 zone with the possibility of high grades make this an attractive target for the company (press release Sept. 20, 2012).
Project geologist Katie Dodd commented, "These results illustrate the multiple target potential of the 137.6-square-kilometre Lone Star property and the constructive use of compiled exploration data in focusing exploration." The company looks forward to further systematic exploration of Lone Star property gold mineralization in 2013.

Now this is a WILD animal park
Trip Start
Nov 03, 2011
Trip End
Nov 11, 2011
Where I stayed
We were up and ready well before breakfast was being served so we decided to take the extra time we had this morning to explore the grounds. The evidence of the flash flooding remained. The banks of the river were carved well beyond where it currently flowed and muddy reminders sat in puddles.
As we explored we passed a man in tribal dress. It didn't take us long to see what he was doing. The Monkeys knew breakfast was on its way and they had started to congregate near the open air restaurant. The man loaded his slingshot and the monkeys started to scatter. There is no better and safer deterrent to monkey's than a slingshot. Definitely a necessary evil because just as we came in to sit down to breakfast a breakfast heist was barely averted as a monkey tried to make a break for it into the restaurant.
After breakfast we all met down at the van for our morning game drive on Samburu National Reserve. This morning Nick is not riding with us. Cathy, from another van, has decided to skip the game drive this morning to enjoy the resort and sit by the pool. That van would only have 5 people so Nick will ride with them to even out the vans. We laughed and said he would have to be our mole and tell us if the other van is as good as ours is. As we exit the Shaba reserve we get a view of one of the smaller animals of Kenya. A rainbow Lizard. Kenya is like HDTV, everything is brighter, more vivid, more powerful. The Rainbow lizard doesn't look much different than the lizards I chased as a child in Kentucky only they are technicolor-ed!
It doesn't take very long until we see our first animal of the morning. A gerunuk is craning its long neck into an Acacia tree nibbling its tender leaves. I find myself rooting for it to stand on its hind legs to give us that perfect nature shot. You can feel your heartbeat exhilarating as it stretches its neck farther and farther. Minutes seemed like an eternity but this gerenuk wasn't going to give us what we wanted so drove on.
When we first saw the giraffes one Tall and one smaller I thought that they were mother and child. As they started to "neck", a beautiful dance where they swing their necks intertwining them, we realized that they were both males. This is how they establish dominance. It is hard to believe that what looks to us as an affectionate embrace can actually hurt these graceful creatures.
We see our first Elephant this morning and I am blown away by its size. I have been next to elephants before but never just out in the wild. We see a huge troop of elephants and Nicholas positions us sideways in the road so that we can take pictures from both sides of the van. We are facing a berm so the only way to turn around is to back up. This doesn't seem like a problem until we are surrounded by the elephants. It snuck up on us. We were so enthralled with watching the pachyderms that we didn't realize that there were elephants on every side of us. They had gotten closer and closer. Then suddenly a young bull got a little protective and started to act aggressively warning us that we too close. He was behind us and we couldn't pull forward. Nicholas remained calm but I think we all felt a little fear knowing that if these massive beasts wanted to they could turn over the van. Poor Julie started to panic. As we backed toward the aggressive bull it was as if he sensed that we were trying to get away and he took a few steps back to let us get turned around. We all breathed a sigh of relief as we left the elephants behind.
Nicholas, with info from other drivers, takes us to a large pile of brush. It is in this brush that there are lion cubs. The animal world is brilliant at camouflage and we struggle to make out the shape of the young lions. Still we are so excited about seeing our first lion. Baby lions mean momma lion so we go on the hunt to find her.
There are several vans all lined up. Nicholas tells us that a lioness is in the brush. She is very concealed and we sit for what seems like forever only getting glimpses of her ears every now and again. If someone hadn't told me it was a lion I would have never known it. In fact I would have never known anything was there at all if it weren't for all the tourist staring at the same locations with cameras ready. It is at this moment that Nicholas takes the lead at the best driver EVER. Seeing that the lioness is not going to show herself to the large group of onlookers he takes a path that puts us on the other side of where the lioness is hiding. There are no other vehicles where we are and we wait. It isn't long until an elephant in the distance trumpets and charges. What is it charging at? Our Lioness. We watch breathlessly as she reveals herself to us. She comes right toward us. There is no way to explain the way I feel at this moment. I think that everyone in our van wants to hug Nicholas for giving us this moment. These are the moments that will stay with us forever.
So at this moment we start to talk about how we have the best driver and talk about our mole in the other van. We have to find out from Nick if their group is as great as ours is. By now our silliness has come out and my obsession with Dik-Dik has become a common joke. As our competitive side comes out we laugh and say that our journey is like the Amazing Race and that we have to have a team name. I have been wanting to say it the entire journey, every time I hear someone come over the radio, Simba One. I explain about Kilimanjaro Safari Ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom and the group adopts the name immediately... We are Simba One.
There are few moments of this trip that we are spending looking for the animals. There are animals everywhere and Josh with his binoculars is shouting out, "Impala 11 o-clock...Warthog 3 o-clock" When he isn't sure what the animal is Nicholas will identify it. Josh, Julie's husband is an enthusiastic spotter and acts as a second set of eyes for our experienced driver. We really do have a great group. Cory and I share fun facts from Animal Kingdom and are able to identify some of the animals, ones that we have at Animal Kingdom. We are a van full of geeks wanting to absorb anything that we can learn and we are all having a blast doing it.
The elephants on the reserve are nearly red with the mud that they use for sunscreen and bug repellent. We get to see them in action applying the mud when we come upon a group playing in the mud pits. It isn't long until two bulls decide that they are in competition and start to lock trunks and horns. As the two start to back toward the van Nicholas says it might be a good time to leave. We assure him that as the one with experience we rely on him to make the decisions and that if he thinks we are in danger he need not even ask, just go. Having been raised with horses I realize that any male animal that is stirred up by a female in heat isn't rational and could turn their frustration on us. I remember one time that a stud horse, after being kicked and rejected by a female turned and bit my father in the back for no other reason than he was frustrated. These bull elephants could do a lot more damage than that!
Our last stop for the day is at the river where Elephants are cooling off in the water. I decide that this is the perfect spot for our little stowaway to get his photo with the wildlife. Sue is immediately curious about our puppet. I explain that in one of the attractions where we work there is a piece of animation called Figure Animation #2 or abbreviated FA 2. We paint and repair the skins on the dinosaurs and we take Fatwo with us on trips and he gets a picture or two made of him to go back to work with us. Sue insists that I scare Julie with it. I keep insisting that no, I don't want to make Julie scream therefore scaring the animals that we are trying to view. Too late Sue is already getting Julies attention just in time for he to jump at the sight of Fatwo. Kudos to Julie for not letting out an earth shattering squeal.
On the way back to the lodge we stop to take some shots of Ostrich and the random dik-dik. We have a few hours until we head out on our afternoon drive. There isn't a lot of time so we do some packing, charge our batteries, and have some lunch. We take some time to check out the crocs on the other side of the river and the bats hanging from the ceiling of the outdoor lounge and before you know it, it is time for our afternoon game drive.
Nick has rejoined us so we are grilling him about the other group. He is jealous of our lion shots and admits that we are a lot more fun.
The afternoon drive is more about the landscape than the animals. Nicholas tells us that Survivor Africa was filmed here in 2001 and because of all of the commotion the animals have left and still have not returned. That show has ruined the Shaba reserve for 10 years! It is evident just by spending the morning in Samburu reserve and seeing more animals than we could ever imagine to seeing Shaba reserve and only seeing the random single gazelle or dik-dik. I have seen the intros to Survivor Kenya and I have to laugh. The hype about the harshness, remoteness and situation that the Survivors are in is just that hype. The luxurious Sarova Shaba lodge is only minutes away with a fresh spring running through it. The contestants were probably sneaking off for spa treatments between challenges. "uh yeah.... I was out hunting...." "But you smell like eucalyptus" "uh.... I had to climb a eucalyptus tree to escape the charging rhino..."
Just one more reason for me to despise reality TV. Because of the traveling that Cory and I do we are often being told we should do the Amazing Race or Survivor. Any time that we go somewhere someone is always saying "The amazing race was just there. You should watch." After so many comments I decided to watch the Amazing Race. One episode and I was so ticked off I still haven't gotten over it. The contestants were in Egypt. Cory and I had just returned from there. The contestants were everything the sterotype ugly American is. I fight that sterotype by trying to research the culture of my destination. We do our best to assimilate while we are there and here was a show that promotes the worst in people and exposes the rest of the world to that horrible sterotype.
We were surprised that we were allowed to get out of the van but we all tumbled out and started taking pictures. I wanted a picture of our three drivers, Nicholas, Julius and Joseph. They were all so great I wanted to remember them. Then we decided we needed a picture of Simba One. When the other two drivers saw that we had named our group Joseph spoke up and said well if you are Simba One then we are Cheetah One. Julius was standing there and Joseph pointed to him and said "He is Punda two" Punda is donkey in Swahili. Of course we all laughed. It seems that our silliness is infectious and the entire group is having a good time.
All the joking has triggered something in Sue. She is a little devious and I like it. She has the brilliant idea to take a picture of a picture in our animal guide book of a leopard and then tell the other group that we got pictures of a leopard. Unfortunately the only guide book we have is Nicholas bird book and our Animal Kingdom guide book. Animal Kingdom doesn't have Leopards only Cheetah.... We decide that a Cheetah will do. It is amazing how real the picture looks. We start hatching a plan.
As we get out of the van I loudly say to Nick-Nick "Hey did you see the shot I got of the Leopard?" Nick says "no let me see" He takes a few moments to "ooooo and ahhhhhhh" and when no one bites he says to a couple of the Punda group "Hey take a look at the picture Laura got of the Leopard." (We figured at this point in the trip they wouldn't know the difference between a leopard and a cheetah). At first they bit saying "You got a picture of a Leopard?" "When did you get that?" That is when Julius their driver, without even looking, said " You took a picture of a book!" Boy he is good. We thought that Nicholas had told him but upon further investigation we found out he hadn't. That Julius is smart.
The night ends as they all do, dinner at the lodge restaurant. It is at dinner that I realize that I don't have my camera bag. I have one of the cameras because I had it around my neck but the other camera and all of the batteries are in the bag. I am trying to remember if I took it off of the van... Hmmmm Karma is quick. Our little prank is already biting me back. I was so excited about the prank that I wasn't being careful about my stuff. Cory and I headed out after dinner and peeked through the window of the van. I could see it under the seat where I was sitting. Thank goodness. I could get a good nights sleep now.

The cutlery industry started off in the Porter Valley here at the Shepherds Wheel - one of Sheffield's Industrial museums, and a brilliant little place - FOC to enter too.
I think it is only open on weekends and bank holidays, but is well worth a visit - especially in winter when they always have the fire going!
They have some of the winding belts running. I would love to see these all being used. Can you see the "mule" where the grinder would sit to grind blades on the grindstones??
I loved reading about geological features of the area and features like this quarry that I have seen before but didn't know anything about.
The walk as far as Forge Dam is fairly flat, which was good news today!
Colour was added on this grey day by the mosses and lichens.
.... and the orange streams that join the Porter Brook - from old mine works around here.
Forge Dam Cafe is one of my favourite cafes in Sheffield - absolutely nothing fancy, just an old nissen hut with "proper snap"!
....and always open! I often think we should come here for Christmas lunch - perhaps if there is ever just the old man and me.
We cleaned our boots by the stepping stones,
.. and were entertained by the brilliant tight rope walker practising his skill.
It was great to be back to normal, and have time to get out walking. I love Christmas, but it can seem a lot of work - especially for 1 person (and I don't mean Santa!) and it does seem to be over in flash these days.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Modest gains in economic momentum in May hold promise for Rhode Island this summer, University of Rhode Island economist Leonard Lardaro said in his latest Current Conditions Index, but as usual that is only part of the story for the Ocean State.
At a measurement of 67, May's economic momentum finally picked up to match January's index after three successive months stuck at 58, Lardaro reported.
However, that good news did not outweigh the fact that 67 remained below the 75 CCI recorded in May a year ago. As a result, Rhode Island's economic performance has failed to improve year over year for 10 consecutive months, Lardaro said.
The index measures the state's economic performance, or momentum, using a dozen different metrics. A CCI greater than 50 indicates progress, while a value less than 50 signals setbacks.
The sign to look for in June and beyond will be a break in that streak, showing "true improvement" in the CCI year over year, Lardaro said. Such improvement could be an indicator of a recovery not only as it relates to the state but also in the context of the nation's evolving economic rebound, he added.
"I continue to describe the overall economic performance of Rhode Island's economy as precarious," Lardaro concluded.
Three leading indicators in the index improved in May. Single-use permits, which reflect new housing construction activity, rose 9 percent compared with a year ago. Total manufacturing hours rose 3 percent, even though the manufacturing wage declined 2.3 percent. New claims for unemployment insurance dropped slightly, by three-tenths of a percent, compared with May 2013.
The unemployment rate also dropped from 9.5 percent last May to 8.2 percent this year, but in context, that lower rate remains the highest rate in the country, he said.
Other indicators that improved in May were: retail sales, rising 4.9 percent; benefits exhaustions, which reflect longer term unemployment and declined 13.1 percent; private service-producing employment, rising 1.4 percent; and labor force, which ticked up slightly by two-hundredths of a percent.

Conclusions 11 COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE REGULATORY ASPECTS OF NANOMATERIALS (text with EEA relevance) INTRODUCTION In its Communication "Towards a European Strategy for Nanotechnology",[1] the Commission states that R&D and technological progress need to be accompanied by scientific investigation and assessment of possible health or environmental risks associated with nanotechnology. The "Integrated, safe and responsible approach" has become the core of the EU policy for nanotechnology. The Communication "Nanosciences and nanotechnologies: an action plan for Europe 2005 – 2009"[2], specified that all applications and use of nanosciences and nanotechnologies must comply with the high level of public health, safety, consumers and workers protection, and environmental protection chosen by the Community. The Commission therefore announced a regulatory review of EU legislation in relevant sectors. The present Communication reflects this commitment. It covers nanomaterials currently in production and/or placed on the market. In the absence of generally accepted definitions, the term nanomaterials is used in this Communication to cover commonly used terminology such as manufactured (or engineered) nano-sized and nanostructured nanomaterials. The Communication does not address nanomaterials or nanoparticles that occur naturally or are unintentionally produced, e.g. in combustion. Review of LEGISLATION APPLICABLE TO NANOMATERIALS Nanotechnologies are enabling technologies, with a high potential benefits for consumers, workers, patients, and the environment, as well as the creation of jobs. On the other hand, nanotechnologies and nanomaterials may expose humans and the environment to new risks, possibly involving quite different mechanisms of interference with the physiology of human and environmental species. The regulatory challenge is therefore to ensure that society can benefit from novel applications of nanotechnology, whilst a high level of protection of health, safety and the environment is maintained. Legislation relevant for health, safety and environment aspects of nanomaterials can be grouped under chemicals, worker protection, products and environmental protection, simultaneously applicable. Main elements in relation to risks associated with nanomaterials are described in the annexed Commission Staff Working Document. Overall, it can be concluded that current legislation covers to a large extent risks in relation to nanomaterials and that risks can be dealt with under the current legislative framework. However, current legislation may have to be modified in the light of new information becoming available, for example as regards thresholds used in some legislation. Implementation of legislation and use of regulatory instruments created by legislation remains a particular challenge. Documents that support implementation, particularly in relation to risk assessment, adopted within the context of current legislation will have to be reviewed in order to ensure that they effectively address risks associated with nanomaterials and make best use of the information becoming available. Similarly, authorities and agencies will have to pay special attention to risks in relation to nanomaterials where production and marketing are subject to pre-market control. In order to properly develop, modify or in particular to implement legislation, the scientific knowledge base needs to be improved. This Communication therefore pays attention both to legislation, implementation and bridging the knowledge gap. In this context, attention is also drawn to the Code of Conduct for responsible nanosciences and nanotechnologies research.[3] This Code is complementary to legislation and provides Member States, employers, research funders, researchers and more generally all individuals and civil society organisations involved or interested in nanosciences and nanotechnologies research with guidelines favouring a responsible and open approach to N&N research in the Community. Chemicals REACH[4] provides an over-arching legislation applying to the manufacture, placing on the market and use of substances on their own, in preparations or in articles. REACH is based on the principle that manufacturers, importers and downstream users have to ensure that they manufacture, place on the market or use such substances that do not adversely affect human health or the environment. Its provisions are underpinned by the precautionary principle. There are no provisions in REACH referring explicitly to nanomaterials. However, nanomaterials are covered by the "substance" definition in REACH. Under REACH, manufacturers and importers will have to submit a registration dossier for substances that they manufacture or import at or above 1 tonne per year. At or above 10 tonnes/year, the registrant will be obliged to produce a chemical safety report. Furthermore, if deemed necessary for the evaluation of the substance the European Chemicals Agency can require any information on the substance, independent of the minimum information requirements of REACH When an existing chemical substance, already placed on the market as bulk substance, is introduced on the market in a nanomaterial form (nanoform), the registration dossier will have to be updated to include specific properties of the nanoform of that substance. The additional information, including different classification and labelling of the nanoform and additional risk management measures, will need to be included in the registration dossier. The risk management measures and operational conditions will have to be communicated to the supply chain. In order to address the specific properties, hazards and risks associated with nanomaterials, additional testing or information may be required. To determine specific hazards associated with nanomaterials, current test guidelines may need to be modified. Until specific test guidelines for nanomaterials exist, testing will have to be carried out according to already existing guidelines. For substances of very high concern[5], an authorisation will be required for their use and their placing on the market. The restrictions procedure allows to take measures with respect to nanomaterials where there is a risk arising from the manufacture, use or placing on the market. Authorisation and restriction schemes apply regardless of quantities manufactured or placed on the market. The Commission will carefully monitor the implementation of REACH with respect to nanomaterials. Based on information regarding production and marketing, or new knowledge, for instance regarding toxicological or physical-chemical properties, current provisions, including quantitative triggers and information requirements may have to be modified. Data generated under REACH will serve as input to other regulation, such as worker protection, cosmetics and environmental protection. It complements product legislation (e.g. general product safety) to the extent that this does not cover environmental aspects. Worker Protection Framework Directive 89/391/EEC[6] places a number of obligations on employers to take measures necessary for the safety and health protection of workers. It applies to all substances and work activities including manufacturing and use of chemicals at all levels of the production process, regardless of the number of workers involved and quantities of materials produced or technologies used. This Directive fully applies to nanomaterials. Employers, therefore, must carry out a risk assessment and, where a risk is identified, take measures to eliminate this risk. The planning and introduction of new technologies must be subject to consultation with the workers or their representatives, as regards the working conditions and the working environment in accordance with Articles 11 and 12 of the Framework Directive 89/391/EEC. The Directive foresees the possibility to adopt individual directives laying down more specific provisions with respect to particular aspects of safety and health. Relevant directives thus adopted relate to risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work[7], risks related to chemical agents at work[8], the use of work equipment by workers at work[9], the use of personal protective equipment at the workplace[10] and safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres.[11] As these Directives introduce minimum requirements, national authorities have the possibility to introduce more stringent rules. Products Product legislation lays down requirements regarding specific products, such as medicinal products, plant protection products (PPP), cosmetics, food and feed additives, etc. Consumer products that are not governed by specific legislation have to meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive.[12] Community regulation in these areas contains provisions in relation to health and safety of consumers, workers, patients and users, but not necessarily in relation to environmental protection. To the extent that nanomaterials contained in such products qualify as substances under REACH, they are subject under REACH to an assessment on their environmental impact. Virtually all product legislation imposes a risk assessment and the adoption of risk management measures. Nanomaterials are not excluded from this obligation. Where products are subject to a pre-market control or pre-market notification, e.g. medicinal products, novel foods, plant protection products, the assessment and management of risks in relation to nanomaterials can be verified by authorities (or Notified Bodies under the New Approach) before placing on the market. Implementation of these procedures will lead either to implementing legislation (e.g. listing of new substances on a positive or a negative list) or to binding administrative decisions (e.g. market authorisations), that will also specify marketing conditions. Particularly relevant is the obligation to review, modify or cancel authorisations if there are indications that any of the relevant requirements are not longer satisfied, or if developments in scientific and technical knowledge require such action. Similarly, the holder of an authorisation or certificate must immediately notify the relevant authority or body of all new information on risks. Where products can be placed on the market without specific pre-market procedural requirements (e.g. cosmetics, consumer products subject to the general product safety directive, various products regulated under the New Approach), compliance with legal requirements must be verified at the level of market surveillance. This does not exclude the possibility to undertake action restricting the placing on the market, or requiring advice from the various EU Scientific Committees. At all times authorities can verify the risk assessment and risk management strategy at the premises of the manufacturer. In order to increase the level of protection, regulatory change has been proposed with respect to cosmetic products, placed on the market without pre-market control. The requirements regarding the risk assessment will be clarified. Further, manufacturers will be obliged to indicate whether their products contain nanomaterials when notifying their placing on the market and to set up a mechanism in order to monitor the health effects on cosmetic products placed on the market.[13] As regards medical devices, Commission services will examine the possibility to make the placing on the market of devices presenting risks associated with nanomaterials subject to a systematic pre-market intervention. Environmental protection Environmental regulation relevant in this context relates in particular to integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC), the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances (Seveso II), the water framework directive and a number of waste directives. The IPPC Directive[14] covers approximately 52,000 industrial installations across the EU and requires installations falling under its scope to operate in accordance with permits including emission limit values based on the application of best available techniques (BAT). In principle, the IPPC Directive could be used to control environmental impacts of nanomaterials and nanomaterials issues at IPPC installations through the inclusion of such considerations into the Commission's BAT Reference Document (BREFs) process should the need arise. The Seveso II Directive[15] applies to establishments where named dangerous substances (or substances falling within certain classification categories) are present above specific quantities (or thresholds). It imposes a general obligation on operators to take all measures necessary to prevent major accidents and to limit their consequences for man and the environment. If certain nanomaterials are found to demonstrate a major accident hazard, they may be categorised, together with appropriate thresholds, in the context of the Directive. The Water Framework Directive (2000/60)[16] sets common principles and an overall framework for action to improve the aquatic environment and to progressively reduce the pollution from priority substances and phasing out emissions, discharges and losses of priority hazardous substances to water. A list of 33 priority substances has been established in 2001.[17] Nanomaterials could be included among the Priority Substances depending on their hazardous properties. Environment Quality Standards would in these cases be proposed by the Commission. For groundwater[18], Member States will have to establish quality standards for pollutants representing a risk, in which case nanomaterials may also be included. Directive 2006/12/EC on waste[19] sets the general framework and imposes an obligation on Member States to ensure that waste treatment does not adversely affect health and the environment. The hazardous waste Directive[20] defines which wastes are hazardous and lays down stricter provisions regarding such waste. Hazardous waste must display certain properties set out in an Annex to the Directive and feature on the European Waste List as hazardous. Wastes containing nanomaterials could be classified as hazardous, if the nanomaterial displays relevant properties which render the waste hazardous. Specific legislation has been adopted to deal with particular waste streams[21] or specific waste treatment processes, such as incineration[22] and landfill.[23]. Current EU waste legislation covers general requirements for the protection of health and the environment during waste management. It also includes requirements for the management of specific waste materials that may contain nanomaterials whilst not explicitly addressing the risks of nanomaterials. If the need for more specific provisions is established, appropriate action can be proposed or implemented under the current legislative framework. Similarly, action can be taken by Member States in implementing current provisions in the framework of national policies IMPLEMENTATION OF LEGISLATION Whilst the Community legislative framework generally covers nanomaterials, implementation of legislation needs further elaboration. Important elements are the test methods and the risk assessment methods that serve as a basis for implementing legislation, administrative decisions, manufacturer's obligations or employer's obligations. The scientific basis to fully understand all properties and risks of nanomaterials is not sufficiently available at this point in time. A number of reviews identifying "knowledge gaps" have been published[24]. The EU Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly-Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR)[25] and the Scientific Committee for Consumer Products (SCCP)[26] have pointed to the need to improve the knowledge base, in particular regarding test methods and risk assessment (hazards and exposure) methods. In general, there is a consensus in Member States and at the international level that further research is necessary. An indication is given in the annexed Commission Staff Working Document Where the full extent of a risk is unknown, but concerns are so high that risk management measures are considered necessary, as is currently the case for nanomaterials, measures must be based on the precautionary principle. As specified in the Commission Communication of 2 February 2000[27] on the Precautionary Principle, recourse to the precautionary principle does not necessarily mean adopting final instruments designed to produce legal effects. A wide range of activities or measures can be used, like legally binding measures, initiation of research projects or recommendations. Measures adopted under the precautionary principle must be based on general principles of risk management and must therefore inter alia be proportionate, non-discriminatory, consistent, on an examination of benefits and costs of action or lack of action, and on an examination of scientific developments. Against this background, Community action in relation to managing the risks in order to meet regulatory requirements should mainly focus on the following activities. Improving the knowledge base There is a need for a rapid improvement of the scientific knowledge basis to support the regulatory work. Research activities are ongoing under the Research Framework Programmes and in the Joint Research Centre, as well as in EU Member States and internationally. In particular, research is needed in areas underpinning risk assessments and risk management like - Data on toxic and eco-toxic effects as well as test methods to generate such data. - Data on uses and exposures throughout the lifecycle of nanomaterials or products containing nanomaterials, as well as exposure assessment approaches. - Characterisation of nanomaterials, development of uniform standards and nomenclature, as well as analytical measurement techniques. - For occupational health aspects, the effectiveness of a range of risk management measures including process enclosure, ventilation, personal protective equipment like respiratory protective equipment and gloves. The development of standards and test methods requires close international collaboration to ensure that scientific data can be compared globally and that scientific methods used for regulatory purposes are harmonised. A main forum for the coordination of activities at the international level has been provided by the OECD Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials. Work is also carried out in the framework of the International Organisation for Standardisation, ISO. A wide range of activities has been initiated to improve the knowledge base (see the annexed Commission Staff Working Document. and the Commission Communication "Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies: An action plan for Europe 2005-2009. First Implementation Report 2005-2007.[28] Improving the implementation of legislation Commission working groups, meetings of Competent Authorities and Agencies in charge of coordinating the implementation of regulation will have to examine on an ongoing basis whether and what type of further action is needed. These activities will mainly be reflected in documents that support implementation of existing legislation. Examples are the setting of thresholds, authorisation of substances and ingredients, qualifying waste as hazardous, reinforcing conformity assessment by reclassification, introducing restrictions on the marketing and use of chemical substances and preparations, etc. In most cases, implementing legislation can be adopted through "Comitology" procedures. Work is also needed on documents for voluntary use, such as regulatory guidance[29], European or international standards[30], advice from Scientific Committees[31] etc. Similarly, ethical issues have to be dealt with, as indicated by the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE).[32] Similarly, input is required from the relevant Agencies such as the European Medicines Agency[33], the European Food Safety Authority, the European Chemicals Agency or the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (OSHA). The annexed Commission Staff Working Document indicates action already undertaken in a number of sectors. The need for further action relates in particular to the implementation of risk assessment. Relevant Commission working groups are therefore requested to give a follow-up to the opinions of the European Scientific Committees on risk assessment. Similarly, the European Standards Bodies have been given a formal mandate to verify existing standards on whether they cover in an appropriate way risks in relation to nanomaterials. Particular attention will have to be given to those products that are not subject to any pre-market verification. Concerted actions between authorities will have to be promoted to ensure optimal market surveillance. A dialogue has to be organised with stakeholders in specific sectors to ensure transparency on what is expected to meet regulatory requirements and how relevant information can be exchanged. At international level, risks in relation to nanotechnologies have become a priority for international collaboration in the field of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food safety and medical devices Awaiting the adoption of more specific implementing legislation, standards or guidance, existing documents that support implementation will continue to be used on a case by case basis. Information to users There are no provisions in Community legislation dealing specifically with nanomaterials. However, without excluding the possibility that a need would be identified for specific labelling requirements, nanomaterials have to comply with the existing provisions of Community law addressing the labelling of products, warnings to consumers and users based on the properties of products, instructions for use, or any other information requirements. Also relevant are the provisions in REACH with obligations of data dissemination about environment, safety and health risks via Safety Data Sheets up and down the supply chain, to industrial users and via the Internet to the public at large. Chemical safety reports will be produced for substances placed on the market in quantities at or above 10 tonnes[34] and a data base with the purpose to make publicly available non confidential data about chemical substances will be kept by the European Chemicals Agency. Attention is also drawn to provisions in Community law creating a right of access to information in relation to programmes mainly implementing legislation on environmental protection. The obligation to provide information in relation to the use of nanomaterials and nano-technologies should be distinguished from manufacturers' claims regarding the presence of particular characteristics associated with the use of nanomaterials and nano technologies. Community provisions on false or misleading advertising could be evoked if such claims are not justified.[35] Market surveillance and intervention mechanisms Special attention will be given to the various instruments in Community legislation that oblige national authorities to exchange information or to intervene when products present or are likely to present a risk, even where they conform with legal requirements. Such instruments take the form of safeguard clauses, health monitoring measures, food, feed and pesticide market controls, formal objections to standards, precautionary measures, vigilance procedures, measures based on new evidence or re-assessment of existing data, mutual exchange of information, alert/early warning systems, etc. At all stages, authorities can therefore intervene in the case that particular risks would be identified with respect to products containing nanomaterials already on the market. CONCLUSIONS Current legislation covers in principle the potential health, safety and environmental risks in relation to nanomaterials. The protection of health, safety and the environment needs mostly to be enhanced by improving implementation of current legislation. The Commission and EU Agencies will therefore in the first place review current documents that support implementation, such as implementing legislation, standards and technical guidance with regard to their applicability and appropriateness to nanomaterials. Knowledge on essential questions such as characterisation of nanomaterials, their hazards, exposure, risk assessment and risk management should be improved. As knowledge becomes the critical factor for implementation and, eventually, legislation, targeted actions in a number of areas and at different levels, particularly in the field of research and development, were launched as a matter of priority, particularly through FP 6 and 7, and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. Activities are coordinated with international partners and stakeholders in the appropriate fora, such as the OECD and ISO. Commission working groups in charge of coordinating implementation of legislation are examining on an ongoing basis whether regulatory change on specific aspects is necessary, taking into account the continuously generated information linked with the identified knowledge gaps. They will take into consideration work that has been carried out in this respect at national and international level. Authorities and Agencies in charge of implementing legislation should continue to carefully monitor the market, and use Community market intervention mechanisms in case risks are identified for products already on the market. The Commission intends to report on progress in these areas 3 years after presentation of this Communication.

Silas Gaither in Hollywood: "I know God wants me to be in L.A."
Silas, who says Survivor Africa was "survivor of the mediocre" and is annoyed that Ethan "was very weak" and "never won one challenge" (which isn't true), is pursuing a career in Hollywood. His acting lessons have yet to pay off, though; he says Hollywood–where "God wants [him] to be"–is run by a "small circle" of "all the powerful producers. It's composed of all the powerful directors. And they basically run the show." While they run the show, Silas spends time auditioning and working on his web site.
+ plus: Survivor 2's Alicia Calaway may work for channel 5 in New York as a health and fitness reporter.

Found these amazing pink guavas on my way back home in the fruit market and i grabbed them immediately as they are not very common to find. We always get the white varieties in abundance but this year i have been seeing these ones. They have amazing flavour and soft and juicy skin . They are not as sweet as the white ones though.
Found an interesting granita recipe sometime back . Made few changes for added flavour and colour.
Quiet happy with the result actually..
Mix sugar and water and let it simmer.
Now gently drop the guavas one by one.
