The search for a cure to improve lines and wrinkles is filled with a plethora of products claiming to deliver miraculous results. Some products are priced relatively low while others are astronomically high. You may believe that the highest priced of products may be more effective. Sometimes they just might show better results but sometimes they may not, it all depends on what is inside of the bottle. Natura Bissé, the Barcelona-based skin care company claims to have the cure for the sings of premature aging. The Cure Cream by Natura Bisséclaims to provide intense hydration for 24-hours.
One of the reasons why wrinkles and lines are most noticeable is because the skin is dehydrated. Moisturizing the skin keeps it soft and plump and a moisturizing product should be applied twice a day with a skin care regimen. Does The Cure Cream really work? The proof is in the ingredients.
Literature on Natura Bissé The Cure Cream suggests that the product is a "complete beauty cure", offering multiple benefits. The company claims that the formula inside of The Cure Cream will hydrate, repair, and detox the skin. Apparently the hydrator, which has a hefty price tag, will battle daily stress and prevent the signs of aging from appearing prematurely. Natura Bissé on their website says that The Cure Cream is like a "second skin" that fades lines and wrinkles while firming the skin.
The added layer of "skin" may make it tougher for targeted treatments to be fully absorbed into the actual skin. This product does several different things at one time so it is a good idea to check the label and compare with the labels of your other skincare and cosmetics to avoid interactions that may irritate the skin.
Since there are so many options available for hydrating treatments, you may wonder what sets Natura Bissé apart from the rest besides the high-end price. The Cure Cream includes SIRT-AP a peptide complex that is said to combat wrinkles and repair the skin. This wonder complex is supposed to slow down cellular aging. It also includes Hydra-flow, a complex containing active ingredients that stimulate collagen and elastin production to build up the skin's resilience. Ingredients such as Green Tea Extracts, White Tea Extracts, and Watercress are blended into what is called a Detox-Diet Complex formulated to purify the skin and block free-radicals.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sassypants from Love it I really like this soap. It leaves my face feeling super clean. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and doesn't have a nasty smell. Using this doesn't make me feel as though my skin is being stripped of the essentials and also doesn't make me feel as though it isn't being properly cleaned. I am really pleased with the way it leaves my face, so I will be purchasing an extra one for body use.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Araba from Good I've acne and blemishes on my face. I did some research on black soap and got to know that it helps clear those problems and gives clear skin. Luckily found one at H&B. I've started using it for 2 weeks(morning and evening) now and at least all I can see is it helps tighten pores when I use it. I'm going to continue using it to see how it can clear the blemishes. The acne spots I've seen some reduction which is good.

Chantrey Lodge derived its name from the famous sculptor, Sir Francis Chantrey, RA, FRS, who was born in 1781 in the Norton area of Sheffield, a few miles from Dore.
When Francis Chantrey's father died in 1793, Francis was initially apprenticed to a Sheffield grocer, but a wood carver and art dealer named Ramsey gave him a seven year apprenticeship which led to an illustrious career in painting and sculpture.
The name of Chantrey was duly adopted by the newly formed Chantrey Lodge in 1890, a daughter Lodge of Royal Sussex. The instigator of this project was Major William Boden, PPJGW a Past Master of Royal Sussex Lodge meeting at Burton on Trent.
Dore Masonic Hall on Dore Road (then owned by the Sheffield Licenced Victuallers Association but was rented for masonic purposes), being conveniently close to Dore Railway Station had a further geographical advantage – it was able to attract brethren from Sheffield and North Derbyshire.

A spool is the perfect combination on a pool and a spa. Measuring 10 to 16 feet long and 6 to 8 feet wide a spool is a prodigious size for mixing relaxation and swimming activities.
A spool comes with jets similar to a spa and seating up to 360 degrees around the entire perimeter. Although less space than the average pool; a spool has plenty of space for exercising and leisurely swimming. Being able to maintain the temperature easily makes this combo impeccable for any time of year.
Is a Spool right for you? Here are a few details to weigh.
- Do you have a smaller area to work with?
- Cost- Yes a Spool CAN cost less than a Pool/Spa Combo
- Attention to detail, with a spool you can afford many more upgrade to create the "LOOK" you want opposed to the pool/spa combo where money is wrapped into size and space.
- Versatility: A spool can be heated to max temperature much quicker than a pool and can also be cooled down for swimming. This temperature can be maintained throughout this smaller body of water throughout the year.
- Easier to Maintain: A spool will have the same amount of equipment, however the amount of space and water is less, in return less to maintain
Is it a pool? Is it a spa? it's both. It's a big Spa that can function as a Pool or a Spa. Great for entertaining and relaxing!

A new state law requires incoming freshmen and kindergarteners to have a dental screening before school starts this year. Shelia Temple is the I-SMILE Coordinator for the Washington County Health Department. She says kids need to have their first dentist visit by the time they turn one. She also says children usually lack the dexterity to adequately clean their teeth until about age eight, so parents need to check and make sure kids are brushing properly. For more information contact the Washington County Health Department.

STONEWALL – Pet licences may soon be a thing of the past in Stonewall, Manitoba.
Mayor Lockie McLean tells 680 CJOB town council is looking at scrapping licenses because they're a waste of time and money.
"Why are we spending administrative time and bylaw enforcement officer time and costs to send out notices for people?" says McLean. "If they haven't licenced their dog or cat on time, we give them a breach of bylaw and then we have a hearing and then we have fines. What are we doing?"
McLean says the 10 or 20 dollars coming in for each license isn't really enough to offset the administrative cost in the first place.

THE SACRAMENTS: CELEBRATING THE CHRISTIAN MYSTERY SESSION 2: THE SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION Welcome!
If the Sacraments of Initiation are the foundation for the Christian life, how can I let them transform my daily life?
Session Schedule Opening Prayer Paired Activity Theme #1: Baptism and Confirmation Standing Activity Theme #2: The Eucharist- Source and Summit of the Christian Life Small Group Activity Closing Prayer
Opening Prayer: From the Baptismal Rite Father, you give us grace through sacramental signs, which tell us of the wonders of your unseen power. In baptism we use the gift of water, which you have made a rich symbol of grace you give us in this sacrament. At the very dawn of creation your Spirit breathed on the waters (Gen 1:2), making them the wellspring of all holiness The waters of the great flood you made a sign of the waters of baptism that make an end of sin and a new beginning of goodness (1 Peter 3:21).
Baptismal Prayer Through the waters of the Red Sea you led Israel out of slavery to be an image of God's holy people, set free from sin by baptism. In the waters of the Jordan your Son was baptized by John and anointed with the Spirit. Your Son willed that water and blood Should flow from his side As he hung upon the cross. After his resurrection he told his disciples: "Go out and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Mt 28:19-20)….
Baptismal Prayer May all who are buried with Christ in the death of baptism Rise also with him to newness of life (Rom 6:3-5). We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen! Glory be to the Father…
WHAT HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE BEEN OF CELEBRATING BAPTISM AND/OR CONFIRMATION? HOW HAVE THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BEEN A PART OF YOUR LIFE? Paired Activity
Theme #1: Baptism and Confirmation "No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit." (Jn 3:5) ******** "Baptism is birth into the new life in Christ. In accordance with the Lord's will, it is necessary for salvation, as is the Church herself, which we enter by Baptism." (CCC, n. 1277)
Baptism: Dying and Rising with Christ Scripture Mt 28:19-20; Jn 3:5; 4:1-2; Acts 2:28; 22:16; Rom 6:3-4; Mk 16:16; Tit 3:5; Eph 5:26; 1 Pt 3:21 Form "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." (Mt 28:18-19; CCC, n. 1240) Matter Water--immersion, infusion, or sprinkling (CCC, n. 1278) Effect Rebirth, Purification from Sin, Membership in the Body and the Church (CCC, n. 1213)
Baptism: Configured to Christ (CCC, n. 1272) Effects of Baptism Forgiveness of sins Adopted children of God Initiated into the Church Bonded to other Christians Marked or sealed for Christ
Baptism and the Call to Holiness Ongoing conversion and mission to transform the world in light of the Gospel. "[the baptized]... must participate in the apostolic and missionary activity of the People of God." (CCC, n. 1270) "Let us be permanently in a state of mission." (Pope Francis, EG, n. 25) Sacrament of Baptism
Confirmation: The Sacrament of the Holy Spirit Scripture Act 8:14-17; 9:17-19; Heb 6:1-6 Form "Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit." (CCC, n. 1300) Matter Holy Chrism (blessed oil) and the laying on of hands (CCC, nn. 1288, 1294, 1300) Effects "Pentecostal" Spirit; deeper filial adoption; deeper union with Christ; increase in gifts of Spirit; perfects bond with the Church (CCC, n. 1303)
Sealed & Sent to Give Witness "The reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace… "By the sacrament of Confirmation [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit." (CCC, n. 1285) Gifts of the Holy Spirit Wisdom Understanding Right Judgment Courage Knowledge Piety/ Reverence Wonder and Awe/ Fear of the Lord
Receive the gifts of the Spirit… Go and bear fruit that will last Consecration: "to associate with the sacred" Confirmation: Inspiration-4-Life
Standing Activity: Sacraments within Scripture Read and discuss one of the following texts: Baptism: Mt 28:19-20; Mk 16:16; Jn 3:5; Acts 22:16; Rom 6:3-4 Confirmation: Act 8:14-17; Acts 9:17-19; Heb 6:1-6 *************************************** What does it reveal about the Sacrament? What question(s) would it help answer?
Theme #2: The Eucharist— Source and Summit of the Christian Life The Revelation of the Eucharist : "My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink." (Jn 6:55) Real Presence and John 6 Real Presence We must receive the body of Christ, in order to become the body of Christ for the world.
The Last Supper Passover of the New Covenant: Jesus is both the High Priest and the Perfect Sacrifice offered to the Father
A Sacrifice: the memorial "makes present" Jesus' saving death, sacramentally A Holy Meal: "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed" The Real Presence: it is a substantial presence by which Christ, God and man, makes himself wholly and entirely present THE MASS
The Real Presence of Christ The whole Christ is substantially present in the bread and wine Transubstantiation: the substance of the bread and wine is changed into the substance of the Body and Blood of Christ Appearances remain the same, but the underlying reality is changed The presence of Christ continues in the consecrated elements even after Mass has ended….
Eucharist: Source and Summit of the Christian Life Scripture Jn 6:1-71; Mt 26:26-28; Mk 14:22-25; Lk 22:7-20; 24:13-53; Acts 2:42-47; 20:7; 1 Cor 10:16-21 Form Words of Institution (CCC 1412; 1 Cor 11:24-25) Matter Wheat bread and grape wine (CCC 1333) Effect Personal union with Christ; Separation from Sin; Union with the Church (CCC 1391-1401)
Participating in the Paschal Mystery "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him." (Jn 6:56) Spiritual sacrifice by the assembly of the faithful: offering ourselves to the Father in union with Christ… Christ transforms us into himself, so we can transform the world with his presence
Small Group Activity: Eucharistic Question & Quandaries 1. In groups of three, compile a list of commonly asked questions about the Eucharist—or questions which people might raise about this Sacrament. 2. Brainstorm possible responses and/or Role Play "real life" conversations in which they are addressed. Consider these as possible conversation starters: 50% of self-identified Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist… Over 75% of Catholics stay away from the Mass each Sunday… How can we help fellow Catholics embrace the mystery, reflect on the reality of Transubstantiation, and encounter Christ anew in the Blessed Sacrament?
If the Sacraments of Initiation are the foundations for the Christian life, how can I let them transform my daily life?
Follow-up Reflection and Resources www.dioceseofjoliet.org/layformation 2) Recommended follow-up: US/CCA, ch. 15-17, on Baptism, Confirmation and The Eucharist Catholicism, Episode VII: "The Eucharist, Communion and the Real Presence" 4) Additional links and resources : 3) For Catechists & Catholic School Teachers: "Record of Formation," including required reflection & documentation 1) Session Evaluation & Feedback
Closing Prayer: Anima Christi Jesus, may all that is you flow into me. May your Body and Blood be my food and drink. May your passion and death be my strength and life. Jesus, with you by my side enough has been given. May the shelter I seek be the shadow of your Cross. Let me not run from the love which you offer, but hold me safe from the forces of evil. On each of my dyings shed your light and your love. Keep calling to me until that day comes, when, with your saints, I may praise you forever. Amen!

Directed by Stanley Kubrick
Written by Stanley Kubrick and Howard Sackler
November 3, 2006 8:00 pm
Paul Mazursky will be with us in person to discuss his collaboration with Kubrick and the making of this rarely screened, existential drama at the Dryden Theatre at George Eastman house, Rochester NY.
The budget was $29,000 and it was filmed in 35mm in California in 1951.
Kubrick's father cashed in his life insurance policy to help finance the film.
Kubrick's first wife Toba Metz worked on the film with him.
Released in New York on 3/31/53.
Was released on a double bill with "The Male Brute"
Kubrick disowned the film soon after it's release and wanted to make sure it was never seen again by not re-releasing the print. What he didn't know was that Kodak when making the print had a policy of making an extra print for their archives. It is this one that survives and where VHS/DVD bootlegs come from.
"The wolves are breathless about Virginia Leith" -
Walter Winchell
Life calls her "a big find"
"He was absolutely and totally involved in the making of this movie. He knew nothing about acting...I probably didn't know much more. He was not a Bohemian. He was not an avant garde left bank figure. He was a kid from the Bronx who was smart. I don't think he had too much education. He was a very good chess player. The intensity impressed me. I thought he had a vision of someplace he was going." - Paul Mazursky 2001
From Gene D. Phillips's book Stanley Kubrick: A Film Odyssey:
"Other friends helped out during the location shooting in the [San Gabriel] mountains, assisting Kubrick in setting up and putting away
the equipment each day; and three Mexican laborers were engaged to transport the boxes to and from the location site. Kubrick's first
wife Toba served as dialogue director. But it was Kubrick himself who filled all of the jobs associated with shooting a film: he was
director, cinematographer, prop man, and general factotum. Since he had saved money by shooting his short subjects without sound
and adding the sound track to the film afterward, Kubrick tried the same method with Fear and Desire. However, because post-synchronizing a sound track for a feature film is more complex than dubbing sound for a short, Kubrick ran into problems that added $20,000 to the $9,000 which had already been spent on shooting the picture. As a result, Fear and Desire never earned back its initial investment, even though independent distributor Joseph Burstyn was able to book the film on the art house circuit, where it garnered some good reviews.
From Vincent LoBrutto's book Kubrick:
Over the years Kubrick has not looked back on Fear and Desire with much fondness, but he characterized it as a learning experience and
stated succinctly to Joanne Stang of the New York Times, 'Pain is a good teacher.' He told Alexander Walker, 'The ideas we wanted to put across were good, but we didn't have the experience to embody them dramatically. It was little more than a thirty-five-millimeter version of what a class would do in sixteen millimeter. Particularly in those days, before the advent of the film schools, Nagra and lightweight portable equipment, it was very important to have this experience and to see with what little facilities and personnel one could actually make a film. Today [1971], I think that if someone stood around watching even a smallish film unit, he would get the impression of vast technical and logistical magnitude. He would probably be intimidated by this and assume that something close to this was necessary in order to achieve more or less professional results. This experience and the one that followed with Killer's Kiss, which was on a slightly more cushy basis, freed me from my concern again about the technical or logistical aspects of filmmaking.'
The film in set during war time, but it is
specifically not set during any known war and is total fiction. The characters wear WWII
style outfits though. Lt. Corby was flying a plane that crashed
about seven miles behind enemy lines. There are three other survivors, a
sergeant and two privates. They quickly leave their plane behind in case they
were spotted and plan their escape. Only the Lt. has a sidearm, so they cannot
do much fighting.
The Lt. knows there is a river to the east that goes right back to friendly territory. His plan is to make a raft and float down the river in the middle of the night to get back to their camp. Sgt. Mac isn't crazy about the idea, but has none of his own.
The group makes their way toward the river and ducks for cover upon hearing the sounds of something approaching. It turns out only to be a lost dog. Sidney likes the dog and wants to keep him, but the Lt. explains it is not a good idea and sends it on it's way.
The group walks along and we hear each persons individual thoughts. Then they encounter a road and have to dive for cover when an enemy truck passes by. Mac scouts ahead and sees no more vehicles and beckons them forth. They get to the river and use their lone pair of binoculars to scan about and find a house near a runway a couple miles down river where a general is staying. They quickly get to work and have most of the raft built when an enemy plane flies overhead and lands where the general is.
Corby decides not to chance it that they were spotted and orders the group to go off and hide. Up river the find a small house with only two officers inside eating. Since the group hasn't had anything to eat they decide it is worth the risk to take them on. They rush in and they each go two to a man and fight hand to hand because they don't want the gunshots to alert any other enemy soldiers. He punches and stabs him and the man breaks a table and knocks the food over. No mater, they are hungry and the food is good. Soon after a third soldier returns with some firewood and he is shot by a newly confiscated rifle. Fearing their cover might be blown they leave and sleep out in the woods.
The next morning three young women are washing their clothes in the river. One of them is finishes before the others and goes to walk home through the woods. The group of soldiers hide, but one snaps a twig and she comes over to investigate. Mac jumps her and covers her mouth so she can't give them away. They take her down river and tie her to a tree with two belts. Sidney is getting a bit freaked out and is left behind to guard her and the others go to see if the enemy has found their raft.
Sidney tries to get the girl to talk, but she doesn't understand his language. He then tries to make her laugh by doing an imitation of the enemy general. He gets more and more upset when she doesn't laugh or acknowledge him. He tells her he just wants her to like him and puts his head on her and sniffs her. He decides that she'll like him if he unties her and she'll want to hold him. Instead she tries to run off and he shoots her in the back.
The others find the raft and are surprised that there is no trap set for them and no indication that the raft has been spotted. They finish up building the raft and camouflage it so they can come back and set sail that night. Corby starts to worry about Sidney's instability and sends Mac ahead to go check on him. When Mac gets there he finds the girl is dead and Sidney is on the ground muttering. When he confronts him about what happened Sidney runs off and disappears. When Corby and Fletcher return Mac explains there was no helping him. They dig in and wait for night fall.
When night arrives they head back to the raft and Mac spots the enemy general again in the house down the river. They also see the plane that landed the day before is still there. Mac starts to get obsessed about taking out the general. Corby says it is suicide taking on 20 men and there's no point in doing it. Mac says it could be done, they could sneak and kill him and then escape in the plane. Fletcher tells him to give it up and just work on getting the raft ready. Corby tells him there is no way for all of them to escape because the plane is only a two-seater. Mac tells him that he is 36 years old and has led an uneventful and forgettable life. If he is able to take out the enemy general then he will have found meaning in his life. He could take the raft and provide a distraction from the river bank and the others could sneak in by land. Corby thinks he'll never survive, but Mac tells him he is known for that kind of move and he's willing to take the chance.
Corby starts thinking about it. He feels it isn't right for him to stand in the way of Mac finding meaning in his life. After all it is his choice. He decides that the plan could be done and agrees to it. He tells Mac they'll give him fifteen minutes to get into position and start shooting.
Mac sets sail and Corby and Fletcher get into position. Mac sails up as close as he can to the house and starts screaming and shooting at the house. All but two of the guards head off to stop him and Corby and Flecther are able to take out the two final guards left behind. Mac is finally shot a couple of times and goes down. Fletcher breaks a window and shots the general and his major. He comes back and tells Corby he hit the general, but didn't kill him. The general crawls his way to the door and opens it. He tells Corby, "I surrender", but Corby shots him anyway.
The run toward the plane and take off. Soon after they land back at their base and explain what happened. They request permission to go down by the river and wait for Mac because they aren't sure if he made it of not. The officer understands and lets them go.
Mac has survived and is floating down the river back toward friendly lines. He isn't in good shape though. As the sun is coming up a silhouetted figure stand in the middle of the river blocking the way. As the raft gets closer we do not know what the enemy is planning. It turns out that the man is Private Sidney looking for a ride. Mac lets him on and they sail together. When the raft reaches home, Mac is dead. The End
Forget everything. What the hell was up with the tagline on this
film!? Half animal girl!? Talk about bad exploitation marketing. This is what killed
this film. Anyone who was lured to see it from the that or the poster is guaranteed to be disappointed with it. They
would've never recommended it to their friends, that is for sure. Then the reviews on the poster
carry on about how hot Virginia was! Who cares!? She had a minimal role and no
lines. It was a total farce to market her as the reason to see the picture and
to suggest something very sexy went on. Sure she was tied to a tree, but it
certainly wasn't kinky. The scene with the girls was so out of place that it
could've only been inserted for exploitation purposes to get a female in the
film. Life does go on during a war, but to just be so casually washing your
clothes in a river close to enemy lines seems almost suicidal. The title is also misleading. It conjures up images of
some of a fast cars, fast women, teen angst type picture. I can't help but wonder what
would've happened if it had been marketed properly. If it was released as
"Behind Enemy Lines" - the story of four soldiers and their quest to
return to safety and find meaning in their lives while doing it...it could've
meant some box office. After all, the Korean War was raging at the time of
release and war movies should've been a safe market bet. I think this is the
biggest failure of the film. In it's attempt at being timeless by not declaring
it part of any specific war, it isolated the film from a specific audience. If
it was an allegory on the Korean War it so well hidden that you couldn't find
it, except for traveling by the river there is nothing to convince you. The
foreign army and the friendly troops were all regular white guys, no Asians
among the bunch. This would've helped sell the film even if it was just an
unknown Asian army. If it was titled something like "Behind the 38th
Parallel" they could've properly cashed in somewhat.
This is easily one of the most famous unseen films of all-time. It is also the movie Kubrick never wanted you to see. He made it when he was only 23 and felt it was amateurish and not worth mentioning. He also distanced himself from "Killer's Kiss" because of his inexperience and "Spartacus" because he was essentially a hired hand. The problem here is that they are all good films. Anyone watching "Fear and Desire" expects the worst since Kubrick suppressed it. With your expectations so low you just can't help but enjoy it. Sure it was simple, the dialog isn't always moving and it struggles to reveal itself, but in the end it is a nice solid little film.
I kept waiting for the something painful, but there wasn't anything. The scene when the good guys are walking and their frenzied thoughts come out of nowhere and hit you all at once at first is startling, but then it grows on you. If that was what Kubrick wanted he succeeded. The camerawork is solid, the acting is fine and the photography is good. The angles during the attack at the cabin and the mysterious shadowy figure in the river are the genesis of Kubrick's brilliant cinematic eye. There really isn't anything you can point to that screams, "Oh, yeah. That was awful. No wonder why he hid the film."
I think "Paths of Glory" owes a lot to this film. Kubrick was obviously fascinated with war films and Paths might've been his way of returning to the genre to get it right because of his dissatisfaction with "Fear and Desire". If this film was such a success right out of the gate then we would've never had all the truly brilliant films that came later. In the end I am glad the film failed since it forced him to try even harder to do better and he never failed in that aspect. He should've been proud of this little film. He could've called it a student film and everyone would understand. Even today over 50 years later almost all of us couldn't make such a solid little film knowing all the things we know now.

The New Fuel Caf├® is Nothing Like the Original OneŌĆ©
Scott Johnson discusses FuelŌĆÖs ŌĆ£grown-upŌĆØ new locationŌĆ©
These are hard times to be a change-averse Milwaukeean. The city is reinventing itself at a rapid clip, as its neighborhoods swell with new condos, trendy bars and high-end restaurants. While many residents are reveling in that growth, thereŌĆÖs a vocal contingent that canŌĆÖt help but feel left behind. If youŌĆÖre friends with any on Facebook, you know who they are: TheyŌĆÖre the proud defenders of MilwaukeeŌĆÖs grungy, blue-collar heritage, and like the revamped Palomino menu, the proposed ŌĆ£PeopleŌĆÖs FlagŌĆØ and virtually everything thatŌĆÖs happened on North Avenue over the last decade, the new Fuel Caf├® in WalkerŌĆÖs Point seems almost purposefully designed to get under their skin.
ItŌĆÖs easy to see why theyŌĆÖre so protective of the original Fuel. For nearly a quarter century, the Center Street caf├® has been one of the quintessential Riverwest landmarks, a hub for musicians, activists and motorcycle enthusiasts, the kind of place where you can pick up a $3 punk zine to read with your no-frills coffee and plastic-wrapped sandwich. ItŌĆÖs sacred.
Anybody entering the new Fuel Caf├® at 640 S. Fifth St. expecting a recreation of that grimy ambiance is in for a case of the bends. The air of affluence hits you the moment you open the door. A grab-and-go coffee counter at the front of the building seems familiar enough, right down to the borrowed signage promising ŌĆ£Killer Coffee, Lousy Service,ŌĆØ but the back of the caf├® is a whole different beast: a decadently spacious bar and restaurant with an ultra-modern design akin to FuelŌĆÖs sister Bel Air Cantina restaurants. A remarkably polite host escorts patrons to their tables, while ESPN plays on large flat-screen televisions above the bar. A wall lists 15 craft beers on tap, and a selection of wines.
Scott Johnson, who co-owns Fuel with Leslie Montemurro, understands why some longtime patrons have been taken aback by the new location. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs really flattering to us that people feel this ownership in the brand, and Leslie and I can totally appreciate that,ŌĆØ Johnson says. ŌĆ£From the beginning, we always thought we were operating on the fringe, and Riverwest people got that. Those were our people, and that was our thing. We find it really heartwarming that they still have an affinity for that.ŌĆØ
Those Riverwest loyalists can take solace knowing that the Center Street Fuel Caf├® remains the same as itŌĆÖs always been, and is unlikely to change any time soon. As for the WalkerŌĆÖs Point caf├®, though, Johnson explains, ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs all the things that we kind of wished Fuel could be as we got older.
ŌĆ£You know, we started Fuel when we were just 25, 26 years old, 24 years ago, and as the years passed weŌĆÖve learned more about the restaurant business,ŌĆØ he continues. ŌĆ£We never wanted to change the original Fuel because we believe so strongly in what it is, and I know a lot of people do, too, so the new one is kind of Fuel, only grown up, like we are.ŌĆØ
The menu, overseen by Bel Air chef Noe Zamora, reflects that maturation. Hearty as the cuisine is, itŌĆÖs fresher and greener than most comfort food in its price range. Rather than fries, the default side for all sandwiches is a mound of salad made from, among many other ingredients, kale, endive, Brussels sprout leaves and a light mustard vinaigrette.
ŌĆ£I wouldnŌĆÖt necessarily call it health food, but maybe itŌĆÖs a little healthier than what you usually find,ŌĆØ Johnson says of the menu. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve learned a lot since 1993. WeŌĆÖve grown as people and learned to eat better. What people like to eat and want to eat has changed. Plus we wanted the menu to reflect how we like to eat. Any good restaurant has to reflect the tastes of the people who started it.ŌĆØ
Despite the considerable departures from its sister location, Johnson says he never considered naming the new restaurant anything other than Fuel. ŌĆ£We really wanted to use that brand,ŌĆØ he says, explaining the new location was conceived with the originalŌĆÖs same motorcycle motifs in mind. ŌĆ£A lot of the reason we wanted to be in WalkerŌĆÖs Point is because of how much of a presence motorcycles have in the neighborhood because of the Iron Horse and the Harley-Davidson Museum. ThereŌĆÖs a motorcycle shop around the corner from us, and hopefully there will be more motorcycle businesses popping up. We wanted to be part of the motorcycle corridor that itŌĆÖs becoming.ŌĆØ

In many ways, Wing Jone is the book that I've been searching for for half my life. (I'm in my mid-twenties, so that's not an exaggeration.) See, I'm of biracial descent. Even though I've sought books with biracial protagonists all my life, I've come across very few. Combine that with sports, one of my many passions, and odds of finding such a book plummet to near zero. Then Wing Jones came along and that book made my heart sing.
CARAVAL by Stephanie Garber
THE TWELVE DAYS OF DASH AND LILY by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
This book does not live up to the preceding Dash & Lily's Book of Dares. I've listened to the audiobook, and reread the paperback. I'm sure I'll reread it again in future. The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily, however, is a book I most likely won't revisit. It's neither quirky nor charming — the very reasons I enjoy Dash & Lily's Book of Dares. These elements went completely missing in this long-awaited sequel.
TONIGHT THE STREETS ARE OURS by Leila Sales
Tonight the Streets Are Ours was such a fun read! I enjoyed it tremendously, even though the characters were far from perfect. They each had their flaws and made questionable decisions. I liked that because that's precisely what made them so relatable. The realism in the book mirrored the craziness of real life and for that I adored it.
THE SQUARE ROOT OF SUMMER by Harriet Reuter Hapgood
The Square Root of Summer is such a quirky book. It contains little illustrations and while it starts off like a contemporary read, it plunges into science fiction through time travel. Time travel in this case doesn't pertain to fantastical notions of visiting another era. Here things are grounded a bit more in physics, incorporating discussions of the space-time continuum, the speed of light and the effect of gravity on one's ageing process. If there's one thing to be said, the main character is exceedingly smart and prides herself in her intelligence.

At the end of her BBC Radio 4 Today interview with Andrew Parker, Mishal Husain asked the MI5 head if he would be seeing the new Bond film. Obviously, he didn't answer. That would be far too much to give away for a man in his position. He did, however, say: "I love Bond films because they are so distant from reality so we can all enjoy the fiction."
This was as colourful as he got. But it played to one of his themes, which was to insist that the men and women of Five are "ordinary people who are part of our society, [and] live in our communities".
Parker lived the part. He sounded as excited about the secret world as an assistant bank manager describing his business loans record. Okay, he was never going to say: "Look Mishal, as this is radio, let me show you this natty gizmo. Looks like an ordinary smoke alarm, right? In fact it's a cutting-edge bugging device complete with video camera, used by our 'lamplighters' as John Le Carré so rightly calls them. And let me tell you some stories about that..."
But at least it would have enlivened a soporific interview, the first ever by a spy chief. All 22 minutes of it.
He was on to boost efforts to get the "snoopers' charter" through Parliament and the social media companies' reluctance to alert the authorities to suspicious or dangerous messages. So Parker was asked by Husain about his FBI director counterpart's frustration about "going dark" on communications between the bad guys.
This term was too racy for Parker. "James Comey has referred to what he [brief pause] calls 'going dark'," Parker admitted. "By which he means shifts in technology, and particularly internet technology, encryption and so on, creating a situation where law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies can no longer obtain, under proper legal warrant, communications between people they believe are terrorists."
Tell you what, Andrew, shall we stick with "going dark"?
Until the 1940s, the MI5 chiefs were called K, which at least had a whiff of excitement about it. Maybe Andrew Parker isn't his real name. It's so damned ordinary.

BEFORE & AFTER: A 1920s Home Is Infused With Light and Energy
When a California couple with three children living in Marin County wanted to build their dream house, they didn't have to go far to find the ideal piece of land. In the next town over, they bought a couple of secluded wooded acres high up on a ridge, facing Mount Tamalpais, and then called upon New York designer James Huniford to create a space to suit their casual, active lifestyle.
A massive carved-limestone mantel and reclaimed-oak floors give warmth and a handcrafted look to the living room. Sofa in a Castel fabric, Huniford Design Studio. Roman shades in Arabel fabric. Walls in Benjamin Moore's Silken Pine.
Huniford felt instant simpatico with their vision for a home nestled in a spectacular natural setting. "They picked a very beautiful spot to live," he says. "The breathtaking scenery and year-round mild weather make it a perfect place for an outdoorsy family."
The couple wanted a structure that would feel "tucked in" by the site's 125-foot-tall redwoods and mature oak trees. It had to look as if it had been around a long time.

It was 2002, I was in my mid-twenties and it had been YEARS since I had a Valentine. The last time had been four years before, and even then, my at-the-time college boyfriend--who worked for the airlines and could fly with a "friend" anywhere for free--decided to go to Hawaii for the NFL Pro Bowl…and not take me. We broke up two weeks later. As the years followed, it just didn't seem to work out to be dating someone consistently or having a boyfriend when Valentine's Day came around. Quickly, I jumped on the bitter band-wagon and started referring to it as "Single Awareness Day".
(Though, I must give credit to my sweet father who always either called me on Valentine's Day, when I lived away from home, to tell me he loves me, or would leave a rose or box of chocolates on my pillow—I'm always Daddy's Valentine :) I even got a message on my cell phone this morning from him to wish me Happy Valentine's day.)
But this Valentine's in 2002 was one I was excited about. I had been dating Sean since the first weekend of the year, and we had gone on a date every weekend since. That was SIX weeks of dates. Oh, and we had been kissing about half way into those six weeks. Valentine's Day fell on a Thursday that year and Sean asked me on Sunday if he could take me out for it. Although, we were pretty much at that point where it was understood that if the weekend was coming we were spending it together. Such a comforting, happy feeling.
So, I had a Valentine Date….a kissy Valentine Date and I was floating. Well, I had been floating for the past couple of weeks and had yet to come down. Now, I just had little cupid's floating with me. I had a special Valentine's Dress to wear that I bought the year before in hopes that I would have somewhere to wear it, but that year had turned out to be another Single Awareness Day and it stayed un-worn hanging in my closet. Eager, I pulled the of course pink-flowered sundress out of my closet and decided to buy a new pair of shoes to match. There is so much satisfaction in searching and purchasing a new pair of shoes for a special occasion. Then each time after, when I wear the shoes, it's a sweet reminder of why they were purchased.
The morning of February 14th, 2002, I walked out to my little black Jetta and found construction paper hearts stuck all over it. Written on them were romantic messages, and inside jokes between Sean and me. Also, left on my doorstep was a soft, stuffed animal and card. I named it "Touches", for all the soft touches Sean gave me. But, he wasn't the only sneaky surpriser. I too left something for him to wake up too. (Already it was perfect that we were meant to be).
The day before I asked his mother to help me with the Valentine surprise. I needed him to be out of his house and for me to get in while he was away so I could set it up. All week I worked on sewing three small bags to fill with Hershey Kisses, Hershey Hugs, and Candy Hearts. I left one by his bed with a note: "Good Morning. Here's a bundle of hugs to start off your day." I left one on his bathroom sink with a note: "And here is a bunch of kisses (now that you've brushed your teeth)." I left one at his kitchen table with a note: "For the rest of the day, here are some sweet words." As I was driving home after my secret mission, I saw him running along the roadside with his sister and hoped he wouldn't notice me. I did one of those sink down low in your seat moves so it looks like the car is driver less—real inconspicuous, I know.
Around two o' clock Valentine's Day, Sean called to tell me to be ready by 4:00. I was so anxious to see him. I hadn't seen him for a full four days since spending the whole weekend with him. As always I spent hours getting ready for our dates, this was no exception. Knowing how much Sean admired my legs, I was sure to have them freshly shaved and lotioned. It was a good thing because WAY later on in the evening his hands were all over my legs (blush). And, me being me, I painted my toenails and fingernails red—which was also appreciated by Sean. I delighted in my primping for my special Valentine's Date; I honestly couldn't remember the last time I had been able to do that up until then.
By 3:30, I was almost ready, but just had not put on my "new" dress yet. I was in my bathroom fussing over my hair some more when Sean showed up—a half hour early!! He walked right up to the bathroom door and knocked. I panicked for a second because I was wearing a tatty tank top and work-out pants. I peeked my head out the door and he simply handed me a single red rose. I just had to hug him at that moment, my embarrassment lost with the sight of one sweet flower. As usual, Sean was handsomely dressed in a red turtle-neck sweater and navy blue dockers. I ran back into my room to put on my dress, my new shoes, and finish up with a spray of my signature perfume. A minute before 4:00 I was ready. When I walked into the room where Sean was waiting for me on the couch, he immediately stood up at the sight of me. Again, I had to hug him and we stayed like that for a long time—it felt so good.
I didn't know what he had planned for the date—it was a surprise. When I got in his truck, I saw a blanket and a Book of Mormon. My curiosity peaked, but I remained quiet. As we drove to the freeway, Sean asked, "What time does the sun set?"
My curiosity had been patient enough and I asked, "Okay, you need to tell me what we are doing." (I crossed my fingers that I was dressed appropriately)
"We are going to the Temple to sit on the grass and read scriptures until the sun sets," he looked over and smiled. "Then we'll go to dinner."
It sounded perfect. I had always wanted to go to the Temple (Los Angeles) on a special date, and this definitely was one.
At the Temple, Sean charmed me with compliments and his sweet nature. I could not stop smiling. Then Sean made my heart completely stop beating and then start again in double time when he asked, "What Temple would you like to be married in?"
I had a thousand butterflies taking over my entire insides, yet somehow I managed to calmly answer, "The San Diego Temple has always been one of my favorites."
He then he stopped my heart again and I somehow survived when he looked deeply at me with his irresistible smile and said he agreed.
Despite the cool evening breeze blowing in from the coast, I only felt warm fuzzies all over my skin and those very active butterflies. We continued to relax on our blanket, admiring the Temple grandeur in between admiring each other. Again, Sean played with my pulse when he shared how comfortable and good he felt when he was around me. My thoughts EXACLTY! With every look and every word he said, my sore heart was mended more and more. I think I started falling in love with him right there on that picnic blanket in front of the Los Angeles Temple steps. But, it had only been six weeks and I didn't want to start thinking all crazy, hopeless, ideas.
When the sun set, we walked back to Sean's truck. "Thank you for taking me to the temple," I said as I thought to myself how wonderful it would be to really go, and go inside—to go to the Temple with the man I love.
For dinner, Sean took us to Bob's Big Boy. I know, I know, not a typical "romantic" Valentine's restaurant. But, with Sean it was exactly where I wanted to be. It was perfect.
On the drive home, I teased Sean about ever having his past "girls" sitting in the middle of his truck bench seat. "I love it when girls do that," he said.
"I think it's silly," I replied.
"Will you do it anyway, for me?"
How could I resist? I scooted right over and he immediately moved his hand off the stick shift and right onto my leg. I snuggled in closer to his warmth and rested my head on his shoulder. He completed the moment by resting his head on mine.
Once we got back into our valley, we made an ice cream run at the grocery store. We bought Sean's favorite—Moose Tracks. Back at my house, to finish off the evening we devoured our ice cream…and each other, while sometimes watching "So I married and Axe Murderer."
When the night had to finally be over because it was getting too far past midnight, Sean stood up to start to the door, then paused, pulled me into his arms and said: "Thank you for giving me a Valentine's I'll never forget."
ME giving HIM!???? I was the pathetic single awareness poster girl for the past too many February fourteenths!
Looking into my eyes, all the way down into my soul he asked: "Is there anything else I can do for you to make you happy?"
I didn't have legs at that point, or arms, I'm surprised he was even able to hold on me; I was pretty much a pile of happy, content, fully romanced mush. "This was all so perfect. I couldn't ask for anything more," I said.
With his oh-so-charming smile, Sean asked: "What are you doing next Valentine's Day?"
I laughed a happy, content, fully romanced laugh and said, "I have no idea." Then somehow despite the three thousand butterflies taking over my stomach and into my throat, I returned with a coy smile, "What are you doing next Valentine's Day."
"This." He replied and gave me a worth-the-seven-year-wait Valentine's Day kiss.
…………the next Valentine's Day that is exactly what we did, and more. We were married.

You travel up Houghton Road to get to Hetton-le-Hole in County Durham and almost 1,000 people walked in the footsteps of Steph Houghton as five of England's returning Lionesses received bouquets and warmth and an indication of the impact their third place in the World Cup in Canada has made on the country.
Hetton, which gave the game Bob Paisley and Harry Potts, is also responsible for England captain Houghton. She grew up near here and started playing here.
On Sunday it hosted Sunderland versus Notts County – fourth v third in the Women's Super League – and an attendance of 995 was roughly double Sunderland's average home gate. It brought some evidence of that eagerly sought, much-talked-about World Cup "bounce".
Further south, at Manchester City's Academy Stadium, there was a record crowd of more than 2,000 to see the home side beat Birmingham City 1-0 with a goal by England's Toni Duggan. While these might seem like tiny steps, this is a new era of women's football in England and, as such, it is a young sport.
A mix of age and gender, paying £5 or £2.50, the Hetton crowd made a happy racket as Laura Bassett and four other members of England's squad in Canada were given an ovation before kick-off, as well as flowers.
Bassett, the scorer of that horribly unfortunate own goal against Japan in the World Cup semi-final, was again on the down side of a 2-1 scoreline as County lost, but she was an authoritative presence on the pitch and afterwards spoke realistically of what all involved hope could be a small landmark of a day for the women's game.
"It's good to be back," Bassett said. "We got a wonderful reception and we want to thank all the people, staff and management at Sunderland for that.
"We had a special guard of honour, were presented with flowers. We felt everyone was making so much noise and were so proud of us. It was absolutely brilliant. We hope the crowd enjoyed themselves."
On grass, as opposed to the 3G surfaces England played on in Canada, the match began brightly and with some tempo, but in the second half the heat and the fact that most players had not appeared for two months saw the pace slow. Then in injury-time, Sunderland's Beth Mead, a 20-year-old future England prospect, belted in a 20-yarder to turn 1-1 into 2-1 and lift Sunderland above County in the table.
Overall, the 90 minutes offered something to both critics and supporters of the women's game. "It was a bit crazy playing on grass," Bassett noted with a smile. She added of the occasion and attendance: "We knew that we weren't going to be going from 1,000 to 10,000. We wouldn't expect that.
"We hope that we can make a steady progression, that it's sustainable. It's up to us as players to put on a spectacle so that people come back. The FA Cup final is in three weeks' time and hopefully that will help attract bigger crowds. The FA Cup final has always been a special day in the women's calendar."
Notts County are in the final, which will be held at Wembley for the first time. They will meet Chelsea, who are top of the league and who will be the next visitors to Sunderland on Saturday evening. That fixture, and those immediately after, will test the strength of the bounce.Reuse content

It's Official: Floridians Can Vote on Medical Marijuana This November
Pot docs coming to Florida soon?
Photo by Damian Gadal via Flickr Creative Commons
In ten months, Florida voters can decide whether to legalize medical marijuana in the state.
A group called United for Care has drafted a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would make it legal. For months, volunteers and workers have circulated petitions. They gathered 1 million signatures and yesterday announced that they essentially got the thumbs-up from the Florida Division of Elections to move forward, as the agency has verified that the necessary 683,149 signatures are legit and the measure can appear on the ballot.
Assuming that the Division of Elections issues a formal certification February 2, the measure, called "Use of Marijuana for Debilitating Conditions," will appear on the ballot as Amendment 2.
"Compassion is coming," United for Care Chairman John B. Morgan said in a statement. "This November, Florida will pass this law and hundreds of thousands of sick and suffering people will see relief. What Tallahassee politicians refused to do, the people will do together in this election."
Twenty-three other states have already legalized medical marijuana. A similar measure was on the ballot in Florida 2014 but faced challenges and earned just 58 percent of the vote — shy of the 60 percent it needed to pass. Pollara pointed out that his group had an easier
As his group explained in a statement:
To be placed on the ballot, a constitutional amendment requires the signatures of 683,149 registered Florida voters as well as signatures representing 8% of the 2012 electorate in at least half of Florida's 27 congressional districts. At the time of release, the Division of Elections was reporting that 692,981 total signatures and 14 congressional districts had qualified. In addition to the signature requirement, the Florida Supreme Court must opine on the constitutionality of the amendment language, which they did unanimously in a December opinion. A constitutional amendment requires a 60% vote in support to pass. The previous medical marijuana amendment, on the November 2014 ballot, received 58%, falling just short of passage.

Q+A's Paul Holmes interviews Straterra CEO Chris Baker & Forest & Bird's Mark Bellingham.
PAUL Earlier this month about 30,000 people more or less took to the streets in Auckland, took to Queen Street, to protest at the government's suggestion they might open schedule 4 conservation land, some of it in national parks, to mining, and this week around 35,000 submissions were received by Minister Gerry Brownlee, from people on organisations on what they thought of his mining plans. The government is currently deciding what the response will be, but of course there's already mining on conservation land, we have to bear that in mind all the time, and mining is a two billion dollar industry. Depending on whose figures you use, there may be a mining potential in excess of a hundred billion dollars in this country. This morning I'm speaking with Chris Baker, he's the Acting Chief Executive of Straterra, a mining lobby group and representing the big mining corporates, and Mark Bellingham, North Island Conservation Manager for Forest and Bird.
Chris Baker and Mark Bellingham, good morning to both of you, thank you very much for joining us. Christopher we've seen the public reaction, 30,000 people up Queen Street, that's ten times Nikki Kaye's Auckland Central majority. That tells you doesn't it, it's a dead duck politically?
CHRIS BAKER - Straterra CEO
No it doesn't say that at all. We've just heard John Whitehead talk about debt, heard Sue Bradford talk about more money required for retirees. Where is that money going to come from? Mining is one activity that can make a significant contribution to improving the wealth in New Zealand, and paying for some of those things. How else are we going to do that?
PAUL Well you tell him Mark, I mean that's a very good point, we have got frightening numbers we've gotta deal with, we've gotta keep people alive, keep them fed, keep them heated, and keep them looked after, and mining might be one way we can do it.
MARK BELLINGHAM - Forest & Bird
Well let's look at the reality of this. Mining in New Zealand is a really minor activity, and when we're talking about Schedule 4 we're talking about national parks, marine reserves, wilderness areas, and some significant ecological areas. Now these are the core of the tourism industry. Now tourism depending on dairy prices, is either No.2 or No.2 in the economy.
PAUL Yeah but you heard John Whitehead say that you can have mining and you can have tourism. I mean Wayne Brown up north points out that next to Kauri Cliffs, one of the most beautiful sites in the country is an open cast coal mine, and they live happily alongside each other.
CHRIS There's every evidence that you can have tourism and mining and conservation can work together, and it's a nonsense to say otherwise.
MARK Well no I disagree. It's a matter of place, and the analysis that's been done looking at how many tourists don't want to come here if we start mining our national parks is pretty clear. The amount of tourists who won't come here is probably equivalent to the amount of money that the mining industry generates. So it's either we don't gain anything or we may actually lose more by having it, because it's not necessary to have it in the best natural places in the country.
CHRIS I think we're misplacing the argument here. What the government's proposals provide is the opportunity to understand the potential better, and I don't think mining companies are looking to mine national parks, but maybe there's that opportunity, but we don't understand that potential. It's not a case of opening up this land for mining, nobody's gonna start mining tomorrow, they'll mine after they've spent say tens of millions of dollars to evaluate and come up with a project which will then go through the Environment Courts under the RMA, will be well assessed by the public and the mining companies.
PAUL Well that is right. See Mark it does seem to the observers a lot of automatic knee jerk reaction when it comes to mining Schedule 4 land. I mean if we were to go ahead and say well let's have a look at it, if we imposed serious rules and guarantees to preserve the integrity on top of the Schedule 4 land, on a case by case basis, at the expense of the mining companies for them to work out how to do it , why not give it a go?
MARK Look it's a waste of time for most areas to do this. But if we go down the RMA track and say okay you know the plans will provide, Auckland City probably will for Great Barrier, because the plan doesn't allow mining on Great Barrier, but you go to the West Coast, those plans that the local councils have and the regional councils have are so weak you can almost do anything, and I guess you know...
CHRIS That's nonsense. You cannot almost do anything. Look at the mining that occurs on the West Coast, it's run under the highest standards of environmental protection and management. Some of the companies there have a net positive contribution, so they aim to leave a better environment than before they started. Would you say that's a negative?
MARK Well look, you take the biggest mine on the West Coast, it's Solid Energy Stockton Mine, and it's like a moonscape.
CHRIS Corporate policy is to make a net contribution to the environment and that's what they're doing.
MARK But they're not doing that to the natural environment and you go to some of those rivers, you just wander through the coal slurry that's going down them. It's a disgrace, and I have and I've been to many of the other mines around the West Coast, and the rules that regional council have and the district councils there are slack, and we wouldn't accept them up here, and that's probably why the Coromandel and Great Barrier proposals are going to go.
CHRIS That's totally misplaced and a nonsense.
PAUL Chris can I talk to you about Schedule 4, because I did a little bit of reading and a bit of thinking about Schedule 4 yesterday. Schedule 4 land is only 13% of the country, actually 5% of that is water so it's 9% of the land, Schedule 4. When Schedule 4 was established in 1997, every MP in the House agreed to it, there was no dissent whatsoever, it was a full parliamentary consensus. It has generally around the country universal support. It is nice and simple. It says look that 9% of the land over there that's kinda what makes us Kiwis, that's what makes us proud, this is an amazing natural resource, let's not mess with it, it can't be touched. It's cheap to administer, Schedule 4, we know what's touchable we know what's not. You can still apply to mine on the other 87%. Now what's wrong with it, why rock the boat because you're gonna be setting yourself up for dissension and costs forever?
CHRIS Those assessments are that 40% of the mineral wealth is in that 13% of Schedule 4. mining companies will make their own assessment, as to the risk that they'll have to face public resistance in a particular area, and clearly there are areas of high conservation values that mining companies will not seek...
PAUL But what I'm saying to you - from the mining sector's point of view, Schedule 4 shuts down dissension. It was a kind of a truce.
CHRIS But it shuts down economic opportunity, I mean that's ridiculous. Time has moved on. We now know from that period you mention, we're 10 or 15 years on, we have a lot of debt, we're in a much more powerless economic situation as we just learnt, and we should be looking at the opportunities that we have, and mining's clearly one of those good opportunities to remedy that. If you want to get more hospitals, pay for more older people as our demographics change, where are you gonna do that from, mining's one of our opportunities.
MARK Well no I disagree, because the MED (Ministry of Economic Development) reports grossly overestimate the value of these minerals.
PAUL They don't know the value of them.
MARK Ah, but if you go to the Statistics Department's valuations they only value the mineral potential as one billion, not the 200 billion that MED do.
CHRIS Now hold on, if you then take that down to how much is in Schedule 4, you're talking about a 100 million dollars of value, 36 dollars for every voter in the country.
PAUL And when they're gone they're gone. Eco Tourism brings us 11 billion dollars a year that's right.
MARK Would you ask a statistician for a geological assessment?
CHRIS Well that is ridiculous. What you would do is do the work so that you understand the potential better than we do, and we don't understand it well enough.
PAUL A couple of questions people want to know at home from the mining industry. Do we have technology to mine it cleanly? In other words I spose the surgical equipment - can you do keyhole mining?
CHRIS Keyhole mining, that's not a mining term. You can do underground mining and Pike River is a good example where the footprint is some say 100 hectares or less, and I mean Pike River have been given an award from the Department of Conservation for the quality of their management of the environmental impact.
PAUL And it gets a lot of tourists.
CHRIS Waihi, the Visitors Centre at Waihi got 45,000 tourists last year.
MARK Yeah but I mean that's to do with the town. In the Coromandel with the highest unemployment and high social deprivation according to the exerts who've looked at it. But if you talk about underground mining you also have to look at the Tui Mine where&
CHRIS Well that's 40 years ago and under totally different circumstances and legislation, I think that it really clutching at straws.
PAUL It was 40 years ago, but have you answered my question can you mind cleanly? For example there was a gold mine I was reading about, they take out 4000 tons of rocks in order to get what 3 tons of gold, what happens to the rocks, can you mine cleanly?
CHRIS Well - yes you can, but you've have to talk about what you mean by cleanly. Those rocks are put - that you're referring to there - they're put on waste stockpiles, and rehabilitated and are now farmland. So that's clean.
MARK Well except for Golden Cross which is slipping down a hill.
CHRIS No it's not slipping down a hill, it was rehabilitated and it's stopped slipping down the hill.
MARK Until the company walk away and stop pumping the water out that's causing the slip. We're going to be left with a mess.
PAUL There might have been problems many many years ago, but we're much more environmentally attuned now aren't we?
MARK No, no, we have high technology - regional councils have such poor monitoring and poor performance standards that these problems are going to continue and the mining companies, foreign mining companies most of them eventually when the costs get too high will wind down their New Zealand operation and walk out, and you and me Paul, the taxpayer and all those people in the future we're talking about will bear the costs.
CHRIS Do you not know about bonds, and do you not know about corporate responsibility. Most of those mining companies, they're as good as their last project, and I don't see any evidence for what you just said at all.
PAUL Another question people at home want to know I'm sure. How much of the wealth from our mining of any Schedule 4 land, would make its way into our kitty?
CHRIS There's some information from Waihi for 2008 - 6% of the revenue that they created for that year went away as dividends, the rest was all spent in New Zealand, that's 95% of 188 million was their turnover for that year, was spent back in the country.
PAUL See if we can get some compromise between you. What can you live with? From a realistic point of view, given that even the Secretary of the Treasury thinks we can have both tourism and mining, what can you live with?
MARK Well we can live with mining and tourism, it's just not having them in the same place.
PAUL Can you live with a little bit of excavation of Schedule 4?
MARK No. We've had this debate. As you say there was full agreement of parliament. There's a substantial number of people, probably a majority who say don't go there, and it's something where we don't need to go and it's the only way we can really secure one of the most sustainable industries we've got, and that's actually tourism.
PAUL What can you live with? Status quo is probably what you're gonna have to be living with, anyway but yeah...
CHRIS I think we need to do better than that, status quo's not good enough. I mean look we refer to the debt, and those issues. Given the quality of environmental management that mining companies achieve with modern technology and policies, we can live with a lot more mining in New Zealand, not necessarily in the highest environmentally valuable places, but in a lot of places that are not mined now. And we need to get the information to allow that assessment and proposal to be brought forward. Right now we don't have that information to say there could be a mine there or there. We need to allow the companies to do the prospecting and then we can progress from there.
PAUL There I have to leave it. Mark Bellingham thank you very much for coming on, Chris Baker thank you for coming on.
