The King George and Queen Olga arrived in Greece on November 11, 1867. Taking into consideration the increased needs of the Greek people the royal couple requested from the Greek Government to not make any expenses for the celebrations of the Queen's arrival. King George stated in a relevant telegram: "... It would give us much pleasure, should the alloted amount be donated elsewhere, in accordance to Greece's great calamities, which we must relieve...".
It was indeed a time of great "calamities" for Greece was a newly established state which lacked basic infrastructure and faced serious social and economic problems. The Queen was aware that from the beginning of her reign she should devote all her efforts to helping the Greek people, and so she did until the end of her life.
From the first days of her reign, she undertook important and necessary projects. The young Queen's main concern was the relief of the Greek People, the cultivation of national consciousness, the emergence of the role of women in Greek society and the strengthening of Orthodoxy. Her presence and her contribution to the hard times that Greece faced (Greco-Turkish War, Balkan Wars) was constant and it was invaluable.
Her daily occupation included charitable activities, which she financed, mostly from her own funds. As her personal secretary, Ioulia Karolou, recounts in her book, from the amount of 6,000 rubles that the Queen received per month as dowry from the Royal Family of Russia 4,000 were committed to her charity work and the remaining 2,000 were intended to cover her personal expenses (staff payments, etc), although as her secretary confesses, this amount was often used for anonymous charitable donations.
Queen Olga's work, her modesty and her faith made her very popular.
The tribute presented below summarizes the main part of the multifaceted work of the first Queen of the Hellenes.

Here is a sobering comparison, in part regarding the average Joe's unlikely ability with small arms, to resist the heavy weapons of an administration under even mild protest conditions. As the fourth amendment (along with everything else in the Bill of Rights) is being ever more eroded, we see powers added which make 'legal' what is constitutionally grossly illegal.
Unreasonable searches and seizures are becoming sanctioned, often in the name of "it's for your safety", and even including we hear the ability to inspect a home on the pretext of ensuring child well-being. If that is possible then what is to control a "visit" from including "inspection" of firearms? George Orwell should probably be grinning in his grave as so much that he wrote about seems ever closer to reality.

Reader Janice has highlighted the plight of Lolita the Orca to us. And sadly, this is one aspect of 'abuse' which even many of us 'animal lovers' are all guilty of... why?
Many animals such as birds, orcas, dolphins, etc, are often kept in captivity for most of their lives. While most zoos and aquariums conform to a certain standard to create an environment that resembles their natural habitat as much as possible, some irresponsible captors are not able to provide such an environment. In the case of Lolita, the layout of the aquarium that she is confined to does not even allow her to swim freely without her running into the structure.
As animal lovers, would you like to see such a magnificent creature perform 'tricks' for you for an hour, then go back to swimming alone and bored in a 'prison', or would it bring a smile in your face whenever you think of Lolita swimming and playing in the open seas, where she belongs?
Are we going to continue patronizing this aquarium to sustain the 'demand' to justify Lolita's captivity? Why not head over to http://www.savelolita.com/ and find out how you can help save Lolita? (click here to open site in new window)

By LARRY WOODY
According to news reports there has been a recent increase in UFO sightings, although, to be honest, some of them are a tad suspect.
One of the reports about an Unidentified Flying Object was filed by two Mississippi catfishermen, Cletus and Moon Pie, who were hunkered on a delta riverbank late one night when the alleged extraterrestrial encounter occurred.
According to Moon Pie, "this big ol' flyin' saucer landed and a little green feller hopped out and beeped, "Catchin' anything?"
Before they could answer ("Nope") Cletus was snatched up by his overall bib and given a through probing.
Investigators who looked into the matter had some suspicions after an empty moonshine jug was found nearby, although Cletus and Moon Pie insisted the only imbibing they had done that evening involved "a decanter of light Chardonnay served with some chilled Russian caviar."
Moon Pie suggested selling their story to The National Inquirer, but Cletus was reluctant to go public with all the explicit details, explaining: "You wasn't the one who got probed!"
Another questionable UFO sighting was reported by Mort Stargazer, a technician at the National Astrological Institute who said he was working in the lab late one night when "a space craft of unknown organ" suddenly swooped down outside.
Mort's account sounded plausible until, according to his testimony, the turret on the spaceship opened and a troop of Martians pranced out. He said the aliens looked like Kate Upton, and they immediately began dancing to "Cat Daddy."
He could only hope they would take over the earth.
A series of psychological tests subsequently revealed that Mort's wheel was spinning but his hamster had bounced off, if you get my drift.
He was advised to take some time off, and agreed to go on a long vacation with his golfing buddy Napoleon.
We've always been suckers for space-invader stories. Orson Wells sparked a national panic with his 1938 radio "news bulletin" about an extraterrestrial attack. His "War of the Worlds" broadcast sounded so realistic listeners thought he was serious. (Remember, this was highly-respected newsman Orson Wells, not Moon Pie Gump from Fly Buzz, Mississippi.)
People were running through the streets, seized by panic and expecting to be zapped by crazed Martians at any moment. Some, believing the end was near, took advantage of their final minutes to confess their sins and clear their conscience.
One example: Elmer Gruntalott of Minneapolis fell on his knees and told Mrs. Gruntalott about his ongoing affair with his buxom office secretary, Tiffany. Shortly afterwards, when the hoax was exposed and the panic subsided, Elmer WISHED he had been zapped.
I confess my mind is not entirely made up about the existence of spacemen (or space-persons, to be politically correct.) As with conjecture about Global Warming, whether the Miss Universe contest was rigged, and what went wrong with Joe Biden's hair plugs, I try to keep an open mind.
But I have reached one conclusion, having observed my fellow earthlings on The Jerry Springer Show and in the U.S. Senate: Before we search for intelligent life on other planets, we ought to first try to find some here on earth.

And just so you know, Mulan hair is just a regular ponytail (also sometimes known as "dance class hair").It seems like our family went through a "sick spell" for a few weeks in February and March. Aidan was diagnosed with mono, and was a pretty sick little guy for about a week before he was able to get back to school. He is STILL banned from contact sports (aka outdoor football and living room wrestling) for another week. Harper was sick with asthma and ear infections for a while, and even Emerson had a fever for a couple of days. Thankfully, we have all recovered. Aidan was not to sick to help Dane find this guy in the backyard:

This soup celebrates three of my favourite squash varieties, but you can substitute others if these are not available. The contrast of sweet and nutty flavours is delicious, working well with the paprika to create a satisfying vitamin A packed soup to primarily support the sacral, solar plexus and throat chakras.
Serves 4
1/2 crown prince squash
1/2 uchiki kuri (red onion squash)
1/4 Turk's turban squash
(you need 1 3/4 lbs/800g squash flesh in total)
1 1/2 tbps olive oil
3 1/4 cups/750ml hot vegan stock (made from cubes of bouillon powder)
1 tsp paprika
freshly ground black pepper
pumpkin seeds to garnish
Preheat the oven to 200C/425F/gas mark 7
With some squash varieties you can eat the skin, so check before preparing. Cube the squash (peeling where necessary), and discard the inner seeds. Place in a large roasting pan and toss in the olive oil. Roast for 35 minutes, turning halfway through.
Once the squash is cooked, transfer to a large bowl. Add the stock and paprika and use a hand blender to combine until smooth, season and add more water to thin as required. Reheat if necessary, season with black pepper, and scatter with pumpkin seeds to serve.

At Perdigões two methods of geophysics were tested. First georadar. Slower and needing a considerable cleaned soil (for the radar runs a few inches over the surface), this method was totally disappointing.
Georadar image of the center of Perdigões enclosures
On the contrary, magnetometry, not just is faster in the measurements, but provided excellent results. In Perdigões, but also in Xancra, Moreiros 2, Monte do Olival 1, Luz 20, Montoito, Monte da Contenda, images that you can see all through this blog. Or you can search in the net for tens of European examples.
Image of the same area done by magnetometry
For negative structures, like pits and ditches, magnetometry is the method that provides best results. Of course the quality depends of several circumstances (like the bedrock or the proximity of highly magnetic material) that need to be taken into consideration. But the results leave no doubt.

NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amerigroup Louisiana and the American Diabetes Association Louisiana & Mississippi have joined efforts to fight the increasing epidemic of type 2 diabetes in children. Amerigroup has provided a $10,000 grant to sponsor the American Diabetes Association's Camp PowerUp! in New Orleans that will take place June 5 – 16. Camp PowerUp! is a free summer camp program in Orleans Parish for children between the ages of 9 and 14, who are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The summer camp is one of two of its kind in Louisiana, and one of 11 across the nation being offered by the American Diabetes Association to promote diabetes prevention. The camp will offer nutritional education, physical activity and social/emotional support that encourage youth to adopt healthy lifestyles. It will also focus on engaging the campers' families to make healthy choices and to stay physically active together.
"Type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents now represents one of the most rapidly growing forms of diabetes in the country, which is very alarming," said Dr. Raymond Poliquit, Amerigroup Louisiana medical director. "Amerigroup is passionate about educating children and helping them to become more engaged in their health, so they can thrive as adults, and we are pleased that the American Diabetes Association has brought Camp PowerUp! to New Orleans to help our children build healthier futures."
Studies show that 1 in 3 children born after the year 2000 are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes in their lifetime, and may experience complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney disease blindness and amputation at earlier ages. Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death in Orleans Parish, while complications from diabetes, such as stroke and heart disease, are the leading causes of death in Orleans Parish. In the New Orleans metro area, approximately 21 percent of resident children are obese and at risk for developing diabetes; however, type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed for many years with simple lifestyle choices such as eating healthy and becoming more active.
"The American Diabetes Association thanks sponsors such as Amerigroup for helping us encourage children and their families to make small changes that can make big differences throughout their lives," said John Guzzardo, executive director, American Diabetes Association Louisiana & Mississippi. "Early interventions are vital in addressing the diabetes epidemic that is facing our youth, and we commend Amerigroup for making these interventions accessible through Camp PowerUp!"
Camp PowerUp! will host 75 – 100 campers who have diabetes risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver or polycystic ovarian syndrome, elevated glucose levels and family history of diabetes. During camp sessions, the children will be exposed to healthy meals and snacks, nutrition focused activities, physical activity, and daily discussions about self-esteem. They will participate in outdoor play, field trips and food preparation demos, and will then be invited to attend quarterly post-camp events with their families to monitor progress and reinforce learned skills.
For more information about Camp PowerUp! and other American Diabetes Association prevention efforts, visit www.diabetes.org/in-my-community/diabetes-camp/camps. For specific questions about Camp PowerUp! New Orleans, please contact the American Diabetes Association office at 504-889-0278, extension 6074.

No dinner in the United Kingdom is considered complete without a dessert. Desserts make an ideal end to any meal. Those who reside in the United Kingdom have many desserts to pick from as they a lunch or dinner. Desserts in this island land often mix in seasonal fruit with the region's highly varied creams. When creating a meal that includes a dessert, as many UK vintners know, the right wine can be an essential part of the course that helps bring out innate flavors and provides that final luscious touch. Working with a UK vintner can help anyone here discover how easy it is to pair a wine with a dessert of any kind and create something that will help their guests remain happy to linger at the table for yet more stimulating conversation. Many UK-based vintners specialize in dessert wines that are full of flavor and bring something out in anything from a tart to a serving of Eton mess.
Discovering Dessert Wines
UK Vintners like the Harrogate Fine Wine Company offer dessert wines that can help show off the understated fruit flavors in a lemon pound cake or the sharp notes in a fall apple crumble. A United Kingdom wine merchant like Capital Vintners an also help people learn why it might make sense to pair dark chocolate desserts with something rich like port to help offer a contrast to the sweet flavors. A company such as Daniel Lambert Wines offer wines that will strike a fine balance between a wine that is forward and one that might have less notice on the palate. Such choices can help people pick out a dessert that might help offer something special and warming against the tongue when eating sticky toffee pudding. They can also pick wines that have the sweetness they need serving something that is less full of sugar such as a Bakewell tart. Online wine merchants like Vintners Selection (https://www.vintners.co.uk/wines/dessert-wine.html) is a great place to look for the exact wine that can help add a sense of class and elegance to any fine dessert choice.
Many Choices
Wine has long been the beverage of choice with dessert. A wine selection can help any dessert selection stand out from the other elements of the menu. Many wines are specifically designed to work well with all kinds of desserts from the very sweet to the slightly more subtle. When a client picks out a dessert or series of desserts to end the meal, they are picking out something they hope will leave a lasting impressive and help provide a wonderful end to the entire meal. What many people are learning today is that a dessert menu can also be even better with the right kind of wine. Many people who entertain seek to pick out a series of dessert wines that can be on hand and allow their guests to decide not only on which dessert they would like to eat but which wine they think will go with it best.

Queen Nanny and her brother Captain Cudjoe blazed a freedom trail in Jamaica
Not unlike Ghana's matriarch / queen mother Yaa Asantewaa, who led a siege that starved the British soldiers, Queen nanny was an Ashanti matron who laid a foundation of pride and honour in Jamaica.
Queen nanny, leader of the Maroons
The Maroons were defiant Jamaican slaves who fled their oppressive existence on plantations and formed their own communities in the rugged, hilly interior of the island. They were considered skilled fighters and hard to defeat. Under Spanish rule, up to the 1650s, slaves escaped and intermarried with the native islanders, Arawaks, in their communities. Later, when the British assumed control of the colony, more slaves were able to escape from plantations to join the two main bands of Maroons in Jamaica: Leeward and Windward Maroons, headed respectively by Nanny of the Maroons and Captain Cudjoe.
The Maroons mainly consisted of people from the Akan region of West Africa. The Ashante tribe, from which Nanny came, lived in this region. However, slaves originating from other regions of West Africa joined the Maroons in their escapes. For over 150 years, the Maroons helped to free slaves from the plantations whilst they damaged land and property belonging to the plantation owners.
Nanny was born c. 1686 in Ghana, Western Africa, into the Ashanti tribe, and was brought to Jamaica as a slave.[citation needed] It is believed that some of her family members were involved in intertribal conflict and her village was captured. Nanny and several relatives were sold as slaves and sent to Jamaica. Upon arrival in Jamaica, Nanny was likely sold to a plantation in Saint Thomas Parish, just outside of the Port Royal area. Such plantations grew sugarcane as the main crop, and the slaves toiled under extremely harsh conditions.
As a child, Nanny was influenced by other slave leaders and maroons. She and her brothers, Accompong, Cudjoe, Johnny and Quao ran away from their plantation and hid in the Blue Mountains area of northern Saint Thomas Parish. While in hiding, they split up to organize more Maroon communities across Jamaica: Cudjoe went to Saint James Parish and organized a village, which was later named Cudjoe Town; Accompong settled in Saint Elizabeth Parish, in a community known as Accompong Town; Nanny and Quao founded communities in Portland Parish. She was married to a Maroon named Adou, but had no children.
Nanny and her brothers became folk heroes. The most famous of her brothers, Cudjoe, went on to lead several slave rebellions in Jamaica with the aid of her other brothers.
By 1720, Nanny and Quao had settled and controlled an area in the Blue Mountains. It was given the name Nanny Town, and consisted of the 500 acres (2.4 km²) of land granted to the runaway slaves. Nanny Town had a strategic location as it overlooked Stony River via a 900 foot (270 m) ridge making a surprise attack by the British practically impossible. The Maroons at Nanny Town also organized look-outs for such an attack as well as designated warriors who could be summoned by the sound of a horn called an Abeng.
Maroons at Nanny Town and similar communities survived by sending traders to the nearby market towns to exchange food for weapons and cloth. The community raised animals, hunted, and grew crops, and was organized very much like a typical Ashanti tribe in Africa. The Maroons were also known for raiding plantations for weapons and food, burning the plantations, and leading slaves back to their communities.
Nanny was very adept at organizing plans to free slaves. For over 30 years, Nanny freed more than 800 slaves,[2] and helped them to resettle in the Maroon community.
Captain Cudjoe, super-hero of the Caribbean
Cudjoe, also known as Captain Cudjoe, was a Maroon leader in Jamaica, and the brother of Nanny of the Maroons. He has been described as "the greatest of the Maroon leaders."[1] In the discussion of important and outstanding leaders in history, one must include Captain Cudjoe. He refused enslavement and freed thousands of captives.
The Jamaican Maroons are descended from runaway slaves who established free communities in the mountainous interior of Jamaica during the long era of slavery in the island. African slaves imported during the Spanish period may have provided the first runaways, apparently mixing with the Native American Taino or Arawak people that remained in the country. Some may have gained liberty when the English attacked Jamaica and took it in 1655, and subsequently. For about 52 years, until the 1737 peace treaty with the British rulers of the island - which is still in force - the Maroons stubbornly resisted conquest.
The two main Maroon groups in the 18th century were the Leeward and the Windward tribes, the former led by Cudjoe in Trelawny Town and the latter led by his sister Queen Nanny (and later by Quao). Captain Cudjoe had endless energy and was greatly motivated to stay a free man. He was strong, courageous and relentless. Cudjoe was also a very skillful, tactical field commander and a remarkable leader.
When the British attempted to recapture the runaways, Cudjoe defeated them on every occasion. Not only did Cudjoe successfully defend his communities, but also, similar to what Harriet Tubman would do in the nineteenth century, he freed many captives by raiding Britain's plantations. Sometimes his raids were non-confrontational, but most times they were vicious, bloody encounters.
Before he attacked a plantation, Cudjoe would send spies among the captives to gather information from them at the markets and on the plantations. Once his spies collected sufficient evidence of the slave-owners' plans, they sent them to Cudjoe. Then he determined the time and place of his attacks. During his strikes, Cudjoe and his men burned down mansions, destroyed cane fields and killed many whites along with faithful slaves who refused to help him.
Cudjoe's attacks were so devastating that many of the early English settlers abandoned their plantations and returned to England. He often killed faithful slaves during these attacks because he despised them. According to one of England's commanders on the island, General Williamson, it was commonly said, "the British rules Jamaica by day and Captain Cudjoe by night."
In an attempt to capture Cudjoe and the Maroons, British leaders built forts near Maroon communities. They imported Native American tracking specialists from Central America to hunt down the Maroons. In addition, they formed an army of more than 1,000 soldiers to fight Cudjoe's weapon-deficient military.
However, even with the tracking specialists and formidable army, Cudjoe out-maneuvered the British commander when one of Cudjoe's spies told the commander that Cudjoe established settlements in a particular valley. As the British soldiers marched into the valley, Cudjoe's four-sectioned forces watched them from behind the natural boundaries. When Cudjoe's men attacked the soldiers from all sides, the crossfire surprised and debilitated them. The British soldiers fled the area and left behind guns and supplies.
For the next decade, Cudjoe caused considerable damage to the slave structure of Jamaica. When he raided, he often burned sugar cane fields, houses and barns, and he continued to kill slaves who were loyal to their masters. This latter measure put a great deal of pressure on every African captive to abide by Cudjoe's advances. Therefore, Cudjoe's peer-pressure tactic led the British to distrust just about every captive on the island.
To finally stop Cudjoe, the British government planned an elaborate expedition against the Maroons. The British recruited every fighting-eligible man on the island to move against Cudjoe. However, after considering the fact that if all the men went to fight against the Maroons, there would be no one left to protect the women and children. The British had a serious dilemma and they did not know what to do.
Faced with a very disturbing problem, Governor Sir Edward Trelawney weighed the possibilities. Eventually, he decided not to attack Cudjoe. He, instead, opted to make a treaty of peace with the Maroons. To carry out Governor Trelawney's orders, a rather large army escorted Colonel Guthrie to meet with Cudjoe in Maroon territory. Once he convinced Cudjoe and his men that he would neither attack nor trick them, Cudjoe met with the colonel.
After talking for an hour or so, both men worked out a satisfactory treaty. They agreed that the British must recognize the Maroons as an independent nation; that the Maroons receive a very large tract of land and would not have to pay any taxes on it. Maroon societies still exist in Jamaica today.

There was one stop we had to make on our way to the airport, and this was to look for some Trumpeter Finches in Juncalillo del Sur. When we passed a lonely penitentiary, I marveled at how birds can take you to some pretty random places; from the inside of a volcano in Eastern Turkey for example, to a sewage treatment plant in North Cyprus. I could have lived happily without ever visiting the latter.
At some point while watching a delightful troupe of finches inspect the vegetation, I began to feel hungry, and became anxious at the thought of missing the opportunity to grab lunch before catching the plane back to Morocco. Luckily Pedro seemed to read my mind, and we soon packed up the telescope and set off in search of food. Things were looking pretty grim with little more than dive bars on offer, until we came across a lovely little restaurant by the water called Mama Gata, which offered a fine array of seafood.
Octopus? Limpets? Assorted fried fish and papas? Yes. Yes. Yes— why yes, I'll give those little potatoes another chance!
Oh I was such a happy traveler!

Those in the know weren't surprised to hear IBM had acquired integration vendor Cast Iron.
I, of course, was shocked. I don't have a good reason to be shocked. I guess my surprise stems from the fact I'd just interviewed Chandar Pattabhiram, vice president of Channel and Product Marketing for Cast Iron, last month about the company's recent release of OmniConnect, a new cloud integration platform. And this is the second or third time I've interviewed a company only to learn weeks later that they've been bought out by a bigger vendor.
It's making me a little paranoid, to be honest with you.
The Twitter buzz on the deal seems to be generally positive. Analyst Judith Hurwitz heard the news at this week's IBM Impact, which can be viewed via LiveStream, and declared it a "Good choice!"
"IBM buys Cast Iron Systems for cloud integration - a no-brainer," wrote Neil Ward-Dutton, the research director at MWD Advisors.
Why would IBM want Cast Iron? Here are seven reasons:
As for what Cast Iron gets out of the deal - well, that's anybody's guess. The details of the acquisition aren't being disclosed. IBM has said it will add the 75 Cast Iron employees to its own payroll.
One veteran IT analyst and writer did have a theory, however. Curt Monash believes Cast Iron needed to be rescued. He even titled his blog post, "IBM puts Cast Iron Systems out of its misery." That said, he didn't offer any specific evidence to support this claim, other than writing, "...Cast Iron has been pretty hard to get a hold of, and I also couldn't find anybody (competitor, friend of management, whatever) who believed Cast Iron was doing particularly well."

Ping G20 Fairway Woods
From Golf Magazine ClubTest 2012 (May, 2012)
Category: Game-Improvement Fairway Woods
Price: $199
WE TESTED: 3 (15°), 4 (16.5°), 5 (18°), 7 (21°) with Ping TFC 169F graphite shaft KEY TECHNOLOGIES: The stainless steel head is larger from front to back than the G15 and has a larger (by 3.5 percent) variable-thickness face. The by-product is higher-trajectory shots, more forgiveness and an improved ability to maintain consistently high ball speeds across the hitting area.
OUR TESTERS SAY: The highest-rated fairway woods. Chart-topper combines distance and forgiveness in a single package.
PLAYABILITY: High, repeatable flight goes straight and lands softly on greens; easy to use off tight lies or teed up; moves shots in both directions.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Superior forgiveness—shots fly straight and don't veer wildly off-course; some draw-bias minimizes fades.
DISTANCE: Some testers say it's consistently longer than others; mishits wind up as shots you'd play all day.
FEEL: Definite differences between solid hits and mis-hits; sweet-spot hits feel effortless, mis-hits aren't overly harsh.
LOOK: Head sits very low to the ground, letting you know that the ball will get up; easy-to-see alignment aid.
A few testers find it less impressive from thick rough; regular-flex shaft is surprisingly soft to a handful of guys.

Keeping an eye on climate change
Accelerate project tracks water levels over time to help businesses plan for the future
Accelerate project tracks water levels over time to help businesses plan for the future
Sina was beginning his program at the University of Northern BC's Natural Resources and Environment Studies department when he was given the opportunity to apply his specialized knowledge of watershed management to an Accelerate project for lumber giant Canfor.
"We have a pulp mill in Prince George that draws water from the Nechako River," says Mike Bradley, Director of Sustainability for Canfor Pulp. "That means the water level and its clarity are very important to us. We were concerned about how changes over time would affect our business."
Sina researched the Nechako's levels from 1915 to 2002 and found a definite pattern. "There's been a steady decrease in water levels — in the last 50 years, the level has gone down by half a metre."
He noted Canfor only takes one percent of the water from the Nechako for its mill. While other industries like agriculture, oil and gas, and dams draw an unknown quantity from the river, that didn't account for the bulk of the drop.
Some of it is due to the effect of the mountain pine beetle on the area's forests," says Sina, "But the main reason is climate change."
Mike says it's valuable information. "The data indicated we wouldn't need to change our operations for the time being. We had reason to be concerned, but not to panic."
Sina points out other businesses in the area could benefit from the research. "The area's dams, local agriculture, all of those operations are affected by water levels and can use this information to plan for the future."
Mike adds that there are broader benefits to having a better understanding of the water basin.
"When we do a study like this, it lets us answer the question of how our rivers and forests are doing, it lets us know what our company's water footprint looks like, and it gives us opportunities to be a good corporate citizen. Our clients want to see that we're practicing good water stewardship, and with this information, we can show them."
Sina says his Mitacs experience will also have long-term benefits for his research. "Having this background knowledge about northern watersheds will complement my work on similar projects in other parts of the province — it'll give me a big-picture view of what's happening in our environment, and how it's affecting business."
Mitacs gratefully acknowledges the Government of Canada, the Networks of Centres of Excellence's Industrial Research and Development Internship program, and the Government of British Columbia for their support of Mitacs Accelerate in the province.

My music: Ramon Vargas
Tenor Ramon Vargas has recently been acclaimed for his portrayal of Rodolfo in Puccini's La Bohème at London's Royal Opera House.
Born in Mexico City, Vargas made his professional debut in 1983 and in 1986 won the Enrico Caruso competition in Italy.
What was the most recent album you bought?
The jazz musician Chet Baker - I love it!
Where do you most like listening to music - and why?
I like listening to music when I'm at home and feeling relaxed. I usually listen to Mexican pop music and some classical music. I never listen to opera when I'm at home though!
What songs do you sing in the bath?
Usually Questa O Quella (Questa o quella per me pari sono - This woman or that woman, 'tis the same to me), the Duke's aria from Verdi's Rigoletto which I will also perform at Covent Garden in September.
What song always makes you cry?
Pourquoi Me Réveiller, from Werther, the opera by Jules Massenet.
What was the first album you ever bought?
My first classical recording was a collection by Italian tenor Franco Corelli, which I bought when I was about 17 years old.
Which is your favourite and least favourite song?
My favourite songs are Bolero songs and one of the most beautiful is Sabor A Mi.
My least favourite would be some modern music (both classical and pop) which is empty and has no depth and nothing to it. I dislike music which is empty and has nothing to say.
Do you prefer CDs or vinyl? Why?
I prefer CDs, as the sound quality now is excellent.
Roughly how many records are there in your collection?
I've never counted - but I think at least 350 CDs.
Which artists do you currently most admire?
He is not a living artist, but the singer I most admire is Enrico Caruso - for me he is the person who invented the modern way of singing.
Which music websites do you visit regularly?
I don't visit music websites.
If you organised your dream music festival, who would have as headline act - and any supporting acts?
Well, in a dream world I would ask the tenor Jussi Björling - and I would love to ask Orson Welles to be a presenter.

In 1957, Roger and Jeanette Petersen began printing and laminating part time in the garage of our home. Three years later, in 1960, we started Clinton Printing Company full time. In 1965, the Petersen family expanded from the garage to South 7th Street. We went from using half the building to using the whole building and then adding on a second story. We remained there for many years until deciding it was time for a change due to increased business. In 1988, Roger, Jeanette and our family built a new print shop at the current location, 1402 Roosevelt Street. The Petersen family has been running a successful family printing business for over 50 years.
We have all the pre-press and printing capabilities necessary for making quality products for our customers. While providing quality products, we also provide reasonable prices. We meet all of our customer's needs with the best equipment and talent available.
We have several workstations where we create and transfer files from the computer to the plates. In the past, we were forced to make negatives and do everything by hand. Now with up-to-date technology, we can get jobs done more efficiently, therefore saving the customer time and money.
All of our presses are Heidelberg offset presses. We feel they are the best presses made and provide the finest quality. We have different size presses that consist of a four color and one color presses. We have the capability of printing up to 19x25 inches.
We have every type of bindery equipment necessary to satisfy our customers. The list of bindery equipment we have includes: folder, perforator, scorer, corner rounder, collator, stitcher, plastic binder, spiral binder, perfect binder, laminator, numbering machine and a die cutting press.

I am learning to count my blessings.
A couple of mornings ago and feeling sad, I was blessed with texts from two steadfast friends whose cheery messages lifted me out of the gloomy moment into appreciation of having them in my life.
A walk in the park gave me treasures. An almond tree in blossom full of bumble bees, happy daffodils and, under a willow tree covered in pale green tassles, violets.
Yesterday brought bugs, litter bugs.
The beautiful park has litter. Not teenies' sweetie wrappers but the litter of takeaway meals, drinks bottles and cigarette packets of teenagers.
Yesterday evening,, I wished a teenager in sparkly tutu and pink tights a Happy Birthday. She politely and happily accepted my best wishes. Later, as the group laughed, drank and joked by their car, they carefully lobbed their bottles into the stream.
I can't help feeling these young people were failed by their adults. We were taught to pick up our litter, to put it in the bin. We were not allowed to leave school until the playground had been cleared of sweet papers. Somehow we haven't passed the message on. These are not bad youngsters. They are vibrant and excited, a danger to themselves in their fast cars and quest for excitement and I worry about them.
Litter seems a minor thing to worry about but it does annoy me.
My thought for the day from Chogyam Trungpa's The Sacred Path of the Warrior says "The setting sun way of letting go is to take a drunken vacation or to be wild and sloppy….For the warrior, you understand that your life ,as it is, contains the means to unconditionally cheer you up."
So later, in my mind, I put their wild and sloppy ways to one side and celebrated the happiness of the youngsters, wished them well in their precious lives and counted my blessings .

Week 14 Day 2:
We're in our 2nd trimester!
This is exciting and a huge milestone. Our chances of miscarrying is significantly lower, now. That puts a big smile on my face. :-)
In other news, I'm starting to get my appetite back. After nearly 14 weeks of eating next to nothing thanks to morning sickness that lasted 24/7, I can finally eat! The doctor prescribed anti-nausea meds at 8 weeks and they helped me from throwing up all the time, but I still couldn't eat much. I'd be like totally starving and then be able to only put down 5 or 6 bites of food. But, it's getting better! I'm a lot hungrier these days. :-) Still not able to eat a lot in most sittings, but I'm able to eat several times throughout the day.
For the record, I'm still negative 4lbs from pre-prego. I'm sure I'll start gaining weight soon!
Calvin's really excited about the baby. He prays for Peanut a lot. It's pretty cute. We're taking him with us to the doctor on Wednesday so he can hear the heartbeat. He's really looking forward to it.

try a detailed cd player, with a good dac, if money is an issue...marantz 5003 is outstanding, around 2 to3 hundred used , it is a detailed player with a good dac and see what that does, if it works then you know the detail and the dac of the marantz works, then make a choice to upgradge or use it....if it is too detailed or bright , whcih i can't imagine with the maggies and the amp....then, wow...i like the amps and maggies....but the front end is so important...dwhitt
Please Help Me, I'm Lost
I'm at a point here where I really need some help. I feel like I've made some good choices in my equipment but I'm not getting the results I'd like. I do feel I'm somewhat rooted in the past as my formative years in audio were the 70's and early to mid-80's and this is reflected in some of the equipment I own. I think AudioGon and eBay have enabled me to try to recreate the past but it has been disappointing after the initial excitement. I listen to a wide variety of music both CD's and records. What has been driving me crazy is a sibilance I hear on female vocals and some other HF content playing CD's and some records. I have Maggies 1.6qr's which I bought used from a dealer about a year ago, supposedly broken in. The rest of the chain is; a vintage GAS Thaedra recently serviced and in great shape, a Classe CAV-150 which I use only two channels (there are some issues with this amp,one channel is out and only one pair of the three pairs will bridge), a Pioneer Elite DV-59AVI, and an Ortofon 2MBronze cart mounted in a Grace arm on a Linn Basic TT. I was using a single run of 80's era Theta Litz cable which I thought were pretty good. I had experienced upper end harshness before with a really cheap cable so I changed the Theta cable to a run of shotgun DH Labs T-14s I bought from Swampwalker when I purchased his Vandersteens awhile back. I also switched to a GAS Son amp. The DH's are a bi-wire set-up so I actually made three changes, maybe not the best way to figure things out. I don't have resistors installed to pad down the Maggie top end but I do use the Thaedra's tone control for that purpose.This was a positive change. Top to bottom my Maggies sound better but not there yet(I have tried many positions for the speakers and don't think an improvement will be made there). I disconnected a sub from the Thaedra which I had been driving with the second set of preouts and this seemed to make an improvement. I switched back to the Classe amp slight overall improvement but didn't improve the sibilance issue. This Pioneer(which I bought for my home theater system several years ago, now replaced by a Blu-ray) as a CD presents alot of detail nice image and sense of the space but lacks whatever it is to make it special and I know that, but the sibilance issue persists.I would have expected the Pioneer would be at fault for what it didn't do and not for adding this sibilance. Records seem to be fine as the condition of the record and quality of the recording appear to dictate the results.I feed my HT system into the Thaedra so I tried a cd in the blu-ray connected digitally to a HT receiver and then to the Thaedra. It sounded fine not the detail of the other player but no sibilance. Movies and music DVD's sound fine too. Soooo..... what should I do? Are the DH cables with silver a bad match with Maggies? Is the Theadra outdated and out classed? Would a Dac solve the cd problem? Or get a new player? Or are my Maggies not broken in yet or even defective? Please HELP! I feel like I'm chasing my tail..

Our Staff
Vladi was smuggled out from behind the Iron Curtain in a hiding place in a car when he was ten years old. A graduate of Boston University, he founded The Perfect Image Studio in 1987. "I actually videotaped my first wedding a month before I photographed my first wedding. I love weddings; it is an honor to be entrusted with the responsibility of preserving a couple's memories. When the bride and groom are on the dance floor going crazy, and I am shooting like crazy, and I know I'm capturing incredible images, it is the best feeling in the world! I have the greatest job, I go to parties and get paid for it!"
Vladi's other job is to supervise every area of the company, focusing primarily on quality control. "A satisfied customer is a happy customer, and they love to spread the word. Most of our business comes from referrals. We have actually photographed four weddings within the same family!"
When he is not working, Vladi's passion is skiing. "I work in the Summer, and play in the Winter."
"You went above and beyond our expectations and we really appreciate both the quality and professionalism of your work."

David Miliband has acknowledged that Labour members felt let down by the leadership as he sought to reach out to the party's rank and file.
The shadow foreign secretary set out plans to "reconnect" the party's upper echelons with its activists if he succeeds in his bid to take over from Gordon Brown as Labour leader.
He announced his ambition to double the party's dwindling membership, currently about 156,000, and turn Labour into a "movement for change".
In a speech at the Methodist Central Hall in Westminster, Mr Miliband outlined a string of proposals to re-energise the party after its defeat on May 6.
They include allowing Labour members to elect the party chairman; launching a "find-a-friend" campaign to double Labour's membership; training Labour Party members to become community organisers; and maintaining, in opposition, the requirement for the Labour leader to have weekly meetings with a committee of backbench MPs.
Mr Miliband said: "We are at a very, very important moment.
"Instead of the leadership being ashamed of the membership the membership feels let down by the leadership, and it's really important that those of us in a leadership position understand that.
"A fundamental part of correcting that is to reconnect the leadership with the membership, and that's why I want this movement for change to be one about communities but also about changing the Labour Party."
Mr Miliband is the bookies' favourite to win the Labour leadership and is one of only three MPs formally nominated to take part. The others are his brother Ed Miliband, the shadow energy secretary, and shadow education secretary Ed Balls.
Andy Burnham, the shadow health secretary, is still 12 nominations short of the 33 required to advance to the ballot stage. Left-wingers John McDonnell, on 10 nominations, and Diane Abbott, on seven, look increasingly likely to crash out of the contest when nominations close on Wednesday.

Twenty-three-year-old Juhi Roy had only seconds to realise their plane was about to crash-land. She was on her way from Patna to Delhi to get her father treated for a brain haemorrhage. When the pilot threw open the door, asking everyone to get out as fast as they could in case the plane exploded, she began pulling her father's stretcher from one end, while he lay there, unconscious, reported The Times of India.
It was the pilot, Amit Kumar, who came to her help. Together, the two dragged Roy's father out, safely depositing him under a tree far away from the plane. However, the oxygen cylinder which was helping Roy's father stay alive was still in the plane, and despite warnings that the aircraft with its 400 litres of high-octane fuel in it could explode any instant, the MBA graduate ran back to retrieve the cylinder, where she grabbed her father's medical files and money for the hospital bills too.
As she ran out to safety, she called 100 to inform the police.
Indian investigators inspect a small C90 aircraft, used as an air ambulance, that crash landed in the outskirts of New Delhi, India, Tuesday, 24 May, 2016.
Seconds To Decide
It was Kumar's presence of mind that helped avert a disaster. While the reason behind the malfunctioning of the aircraft is still unclear, he had to make several difficult decisions, with no time to spare. It was around 2.20 pm on that fateful Tuesday when the plane's first engine died. Within 15 minutes, the second had sputtered to a stop.
Since they were still several metres away from the airport runway, his only option was to attempt crash landing in a secluded field. He told TOI how the Beech King Air C-90A plane jumped three feet into the air after first hitting the ground, only to skid 100 metres to a stop.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones points to the example of peaching in dealing with the personal problems church members face. In pointing to the Puritans as an example of this the Doctor says:
The Puritans are justly famous for their pastoral preaching. They would take up what they called 'cases of conscience' and deal with them in their sermons; and as they dealt with the problems they were solving the personal problems of those who were listening to them. That has constantly been my experience. The preaching of the Gospel from the pulpit, applied by the Holy Spirit to the individuals who are listening, has been the means of dealing with personal problems of which I as the preacher knew nothing…1
The Doctor shows us that in this way member care is being done. That the Holy Spirit can and does apply the truth in general to the particular individual through preaching. It is through expositional preaching of the word of God that the church is faithful to the Great Commission command to teach disciples to obey all that Christ has commanded. For all of the commands of Christ are to be found in Scripture.
1Martyn Lloyd-Jones, 37.

FINALLY! After a long ass wait, finally a video for sleazy white-tatted-boy sing-rapper T Mills's absolute tchoon of a song, "Vans On", originally titled "Fuck Em (With My Vans On)". It's unfortunate that his very best song (thus far) should end up with his very worst, non-event of a no-budget music video, but still...something's always better than nothing, right?
Now that he's signed with a major, T Mills has been making moves, re-releasing his EP, shooting music videos and generally inching towards a full-on assault on mainstream media. 2012 is his year and I can't bloody wait.

(MISA/IFEX) - On 1 September 2009, South Africa's Press Agency, SAPA, reported that The Films and Publications Amendment Bill, described by critics as deeply flawed and unconstitutional, has been signed into law. The measure was promulgated in the Government Gazette in the last week of August. When it was introduced in 2006, the media industry protested that it paved the way for pre-publication censorship and criminalised free expression.
Although a version was approved by Parliament, in January 2009 then-president Kgalema Motlanthe decided not to sign it into law, and referred it back to the legislature. Raymond Louw, deputy chair of the South Africa chapter of the Media Institute of Southern Africa, said on 31 August that Parliament had not made any substantive changes to that version.
"We deplore the fact that the bill has been signed into law, because it will bring a range of problems for the media generally," he said.
Thabo Leshilo, head of the media freedom committee at the South African National Editors' Forum, said he had not seen a gazetted version of the act.
"We need to look at the published act, thereafter we will give a considered response," he said.
The department of home affairs introduced the bill partly in a bid to combat child pornography. Critics said however that it paved the way for pre-publication censorship, and that an exemption for newspapers which fell under the press ombudsman left more than 500 other newspapers and publications out in the cold. Critics also expressed concern at clauses aimed at limiting publication of propaganda for war, incitement to violence, and the depiction of sexual conduct. The incitement to violence clause, they said, could be used to curtail reporting on service delivery protests.

I want to welcome yet another one of my adorable designs. This one reminds me of a mermaid. The aqua crushed velvet and floral splash fabric is so pretty and vibrant. I'm loving the ruffle fan bust and the criss cross back.... It's such a fun dress!
This week I have been inspired by so many runway looks. I am loving the maxi skirt at the moment so you will be seeing some coming up soon.
The mermaid dress is available via the website and as usual is a one-off design

Coming soon…
And now for something completely different.
Shanty Town Memoirs (1890)
Undead. Spirits. Evil incarnate. Just a few terms used to describe the growing Orthon menace. But the reality being that Ravan's former army pose more an inconvenience than any actual threat. During my time in Shanty Town, I saw a disempowered people, slave to hoodlums and creatures from the Wastes. Mere shadows of their former selves. Most are unable to speak, save inarticulate grunts. Others lack the capacity to clothe themselves or see to their bodily functions, or even seek shelter when the weather turns foul.
The unenviable task of protecting the unfortunate falls to those that survived Ravan's process with a modicum of their humanity intact. I spoke with former Doctor Blake and Doctor Herald (both officially deceased) at the ration centre. Both men had been grafted or fused into one singular mass and for easier referral preferred to be called, 'Genesis'.
Evidently, these men of learning combined to beat the harrowing process of their rebirth. Genesis said, in the accepted sense of the term, the Orthon race no longer aged. Frank in its discussion, this gestalt entity showed no apparent hate for Ravan and his London Body Shops. Instead, it spoke of Minerva: newly announced as the goddess of death. The Orthons were upon her doorstep, or so it claimed, seeking a way back in. When, or if, that time would ever come wasn't the issue. Forever, if that's what it took. Regardless, Genesis would do her bidding and wait. Because waiting was all it had left. And when I glanced into the eyes of the former doctors and the endless darkness within their souls, I had a sense of what forever truly meant – and it chilled me to the bone.

Women in Horror
In keeping with Women in Horror month, I'd like to draw your attention to the excellent blog, Day of Woman, which manages to create a fresh view on some of the genre's best-loved horrors. Follow the link below.
That transformation scene . . .
Here's the question, in the decades since has this scene ever been equalled?
The City in the Sea
by Edgar Allan Poe
Lo! Death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!)
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
No rays from the holy heaven come down
On the long night-time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently —
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free —
Up domes — up spires — up kingly halls —
Up fanes — up Babylon-like walls —
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers —
Up many and many a marvelous shrine
Whose wreathéd friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in the air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.
There open fanes and gaping graves
Yawn level with the luminous waves;
But not the riches there that lie
In each idol's diamond eye —
Not the gaily-jeweled dead
Tempt the waters from their bed;
For no ripples curl, alas!
Along that wilderness of glass —
No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far-off happier sea —
No heavings hint that winds have been
On seas less hideously serene.
But lo, a stir is in the air!
The wave — there is a movement there!
As if the towers had thrust aside,
In slightly sinking, the dull tide —
As if their tops had feebly given
A void within the filmy Heaven.
The waves have now a redder glow —
The hours are breathing faint and low —
And when, amid no earthly moans,
Down, down that town shall settle hence,
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
Shall do it reverence.
Waiting on the Road to Palladium (audio)
The Raven
Diary of Evard McGregor
You can't put something like that into words. How could you? My Sally stood on the centre's steps, draped in sunlight, dressed in the same dress I'd buried her in. She stood there, smiled, even waved. Smiled because she remembered me. I knew then it didn't matter what she'd become, she was still my little girl. And that was all that mattered.
Cradling her in my arms, I must have cried for ten minutes straight. It were Sally that patted my head and said, 'There, there.'
We were the lucky ones. Sally had been able to say her name. I mean, what are the odds? Everything else didn't matter. Sally was back, that was the important thing. She'd always be my little girl. And that was never going to change.
Not ever.

Well, it's about time I check in about all those goals I set for this year. I think I am doing well, but of course there is room for improvement.
Because I am the only one who truly cares about the details, I am just going to give you the summary.
No buying fabric (with exceptions) - I did breach my rule once, a small quantity, to make this gift:
Really, I am OK with that. I already know that I will allow myself more breaches, but these guidelines have kept me from making unnecessary purchases.
No buying books and magazines - Nothing so far
Major clean up of my sewing room in January - Done, but the room is back to being a huge mess. I have my work cut out for me for the April clean-up...
Manage my stash - I washed the many new fabrics in the unwashed pile, ironed all but a couple meters, I physically split up my collections... All these resolutions have been great!
A WIP finish - Yay! I finished my Colourful Scraps Improv Quilt
I have also learned to use Flickr, made and mailed my bee blocks on time, parted with flannel scraps I did not need, and best of all, I attended the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild's first sew-in (too bad about the other two I missed but such is life).
And what about the tiny finishes in the title? Don't get too excited... just two luggage tags I made today (see my tutorial here). In case you haven't seen them before, there is a plastic pocket to insert a business card, even though you can't really tell from the picture.
These will be my gift for a complete stranger whose scraps I ended up with. I shared the story here, but in a nutshell, while on a work-related trip to the Bahamas, my husband asked a bartender where he could buy some fabric. The man replied there was no fabric store nearby, but went home and returned with a bag full of local fabric scraps.
My husband is returning to the same place, and he figures he will likely run into the same bartender. I don't know anything about the lady who gave me the scraps, other than that she does travel. So luggage tags was a logical choice. The one on the left is made with her scraps - I think it's interesting to see what other people can do with your scraps. Of course, I made a second one with my own scraps, while keeping the same general colour scheme.
How are you doing with your goals?
