The members of Southeast Alaska Conservation Council's Board of Directors understand and appreciate the importance of jobs to Alaskan families and communities because we live and work here ourselves. For 35 years, SEACC has been run by a volunteer board of Southeast Alaskans who have donated countless hours of their own time to safeguarding the integrity of Southeast Alaska's unsurpassed natural environment while encouraging the balanced and sustainable use of the region's resources.
Sound off on the important issues at
We do this to provide for the future of our families and the families of our children. We believe it is the duty of all Americans to leave the next generation with the same opportunities we have to enjoy clean water, a healthy environment and abundant natural resources.
Coeur Alaska recently ran an advertisement in the Juneau Empire charging that the Board of Directors of Southeast Alaska Conservation Council is risking jobs at the Kensington Mine.
Coeur's advertisement is dishonest. The jobs at the Kensington Mine are only threatened if Coeur's plan to dispose of its waste is illegal. It is Coeur's responsibility to act within the law. Unfortunately it didn't act responsibly - it gambled. It gambled by trying to be the first gold mine in a generation to propose dumping its waste into a lake. It gambled by trying to sidestep the Clean Water Act. It gambled when it decided to thumb its nose at the tremendous work Americans have done over the past 30 years to clean up our nation's waterways.
Furthermore, Coeur gambled when it chose to ignore SEACC's repeated warnings that its waste disposal design was illegal. And now, when it looks as if its reckless gamble may not pay off, it's trying to blame SEACC for its decision. We even tried talking directly with Coeur about alternatives but could not reach an agreement. The lawsuit was our last resort to ensure that this mine operated legally. Since the suit began, we have consistently asked the court to resolve the issue as quickly as possible to minimize impacts to the workers.
Coeur argues that there is no alternative to dumping its waste into Lower Slate Lake. Yet, since the passage of the Clean Water Act, mines have operated successfully across the U.S. without using lakes as waste dumps. When Coeur says there is no alternative, it means that there is no alternative that is as profitable to its investors. In 1998, Coeur had a fully permitted plan for the Kensington Mine that stored its tailings on land and not in a lake. Yet Coeur dropped this plan to look for a cheaper one. If Coeur had been willing to do it right, Juneau could have these mining jobs - and a legal mine.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is using this mine as a test case to sidestep the Clean Water Act and allow mining corporations to dump their tailings into lakes, rivers, and streams. The Kensington sets the stage for other mines across Alaska to discard their waste into our clean water - the heart and soul of our fishing, recreation and tourism industries. The Pebble Mine, for example, has already submitted plans for a waste disposal system similar to Kensington's that would affect one of the world's most productive salmon fisheries.
Coeur Alaska can expect SEACC to hold it, and any other corporation, accountable to the laws that protect Alaska's clean water. We find it extremely unfortunate that Coeur is using its employees' jobs to pressure Juneau into accepting a mine that violates the law. Instead of casting blame on others, Coeur Alaska should accept responsibility for its bad decision and redesign the mine to dispose of its tailings legally.

2008 Blu-ray sales already surpass all of 2007!
From hollywoodinhidef.com
The world just keeps getting more Blu as the end of the format war has led to consumers jumping into high-def discs with both feet.
More than 11 million hi-def Blu-ray movies have been sold so far, according to data compiled by the Redhill Group for Home Media Magazine, and that's even before the potentially biggest Blu-ray title to date hits the market on September 2: "Transformers."
Projections based on preliminary data show that Blu-ray sales through May have already surpassed sales for all of 2007.
Blu-ray software sales in the first four months of this year more than quadrupled from the same period last year, climbing to 11 million since inception.
In an indication that the surrender of HD DVD had the overall effect everyone had hoped for in sparking the average consumer to feel comfortable jumping into the high-def market, this year's Blu-ray software sales through April are more than triple the number of sales of Blu-ray and HD DVD combined during the same period last year.
To further illustrate the point, consumers are increasingly choosing Blu-ray over DVD when new releases are available in both formats. For example, a year ago each new top 10 release mostly generated only 1% - 2% of sales from Blu-ray, with a couple titles collecting as much as 5% on Blu-ray.
This year in the first quarter, the top three Blu-ray titles, "I Am Legend," "3:10 to Yuma" and "No Country For Old Men," saw 8% - 10% of their sales in the Blu-ray format. Catalog Blu-ray titles that were also in the top 10, such as "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," "300," "Planet Earth: The Complete Collection," and "Casino Royale," saw overall DVD/Blu-ray sales jump to 18% - 28% for the Blu-ray versions of those titles during the first quarter.
The surge will no doubt continue with today's official announcement from Paramount that "Transformers" will be coming to Blu-ray on September 2. A slew of additional heavyweight new and classic titles begins to hit Blu-ray this week with "Cloverfield" and Warner's "Dirty Harry" collection and continues next month with "Top Gun" and special editions of Batman and Tom Clancy Jack Ryan movies and the "Starship Troopers" trilogy. Disney weighs in strong this fall with their first animated classic on Blu-ray October 7 in the most elaborate BD Live format yet on "Sleeping Beauty," followed by the first of a groundbreaking new series of Disc Exclusive computer-animated movies, "Tinker Bell" on Oct. 28.

| Hi Edhawco, thanks for holding us to high standards :)
The site measures sensor sizes in mm, and then puts a "label" on them like 1/1.7", looks like we're missing the appropriate label for this size. Regarding wide angle, you're right, however, our view here though is that if you want wide angle, then one of them has more than the other. Not everyone wants a small camera either, we still think its useful to tell you which one is smaller :)
Snapsort's true resolution is calculated as the maximum theoretical resolution a sensor could capture given its size and actual resolution, so technically its not ignoring the sensor size, quite the opposite :)
| This X100 vs. X10 article contains a number of mistakes.
The biggest mistake is saying that the X10 has a 1/1.7 sensor. NOT TRUE. The sensor is 2/3, which is 6.6x8.8mm (as indicated here) but it is NOT 1/1.7, which would be a 5.7x7.6mm sensor. Not a huge difference, but it is enough to make it bigger than a 1/1.7.
Also, you say the X10 has "better" wide angle, which is a silly thing to say. It has a *wider* wide angle, but wider isn't *necessarily* better. It's silly to put a quality judgement on wideness. That's a neutral thing. Different people prefer different levels of wideness. Some people hate wide angle. Some people want as wide as possible.
Then there's the part about resolution. You say the X10 has "Higher true resolution: 12 MP vs 11 MP. Capture around 10% more detail in your photos." This ignores the fact that the X100 has a significantly bigger sensor, and bigger sensors are better at capturing detail. You get more detail out of 11MP on a large sensor than 12MP on a small sensor. While you could argue that by "resolution" you mean "pixel count," by invoking "detail" you're just plain wrong.
Just sayin' :-)

Having been a software architect/programmer/consultant for over 16 years, I've worked on a lot of projects with a lot of different companies. A few years ago I learned about the concept of agile software development and specifically Scrum. There are founders, die-hards, and trainers out there that discovered, designed, and perfected practice of the various types of agile development – I won't profess to be such. However, the core concepts of Scrum, gleaned from analyzing commonalities across high-performing teams, really resonate with me, and I'd like to share that today in a way that I often give to tech startup founders who don't have a software development background.
Computer programming started out with plugging and un-plugging cables (see ENIAC on wikipedia).
In my early childhood, it progressed to tape, then punchcards. My mom used to bring home boxes of punchcards so that when I practiced piano as a wee short 6-year old, I could rest my feet on those, since they didn't touch the ground. But I digress.
Developing software – compiling programs – took a long time. My father told me once that he had to be extra, extra careful to double-check, triple-check his programs because he'd be waiting in a hallway for hours while his program compiled. God forbid if he had a bug in his code, he'd have to start all over again.
Compared to that, we modern-day hackers are spoiled rotten. One button-push and a few seconds later, flashy splashy GUI mobile apps load up in a simulator or directly on our smartphone.
Just as the process of creating programs has matured and gotten more efficient and faster, the process for figuring out what product features to build, how to communicate that to the various stakeholders and team members (architects, designers, developers, quality assurance testers) has progressed similarly. Over the last few decades, up until the last few years, software projects followed a process called "Waterfall." You start with the high-level bigwigs who want to create a product, presumably to make something easier, faster, or more lucrative. The bigwigs tell the project managers what they want. That goes in a business requirements document. The project managers work with business analysts to get more detailed and to a higher level of technical specificity. This gets turned into a functional requirements document.
Next the project managers engage with technical managers or architects to translate the functional requirements into even more detailed technical details – down to what the databases should look like, what the functions or classes or methods should be. That becomes the technical requirements document.
2 years and a 200% budget overrun later, the project fails either because it doesn't launch at all, or because what's built doesn't match the bigwigs' expectations/needs. There are many studies with varying statistics about software project failures: The Standish Group Chaos Report (1995) showed "31.1% of projects will be canceled before they ever get completed. Further results indicate 52.7% of projects will cost over 189% of their original estimates."
What's the deal? Basically, reality has shown that this expensive game of Operator isn't the best way for the bigwigs to get what they actually needed. So, how do we ensure the communication path is straightforward, misunderstandings are corrected quickly, and the project is on time and on budget?
Enter agile. Enter Scrum.
Stay tuned for the next post, when the good stuff starts.

A Great Find: Nature's Bounty's E Cream
A couple of weeks ago Kimberly (sissy in law) gave me this moisturizer to try. I'd been complaining that my neck was looking wrinkly, and I didn't want use pricer lotion on my neck, different story for my face! (Now that I'm typing this out, that's not great reasoning. Who wants a nice wrinkle-free face and a saggy neck?!)
Anyway she let me in on her little secret, of Nature's Bounty's E Cream, and since she is one of the best aging ladies I know, I was eager to give it a try!
Well absolutely no complaints. It's rich, smells lovely and does the job beautifully, once I found out the price I couldn't wait to share it with you all, a whopping $3.99 at Walgreens (apparently BOGO right now, see HERE).
I'm not thinking I'll give up on my beloved Clinique yet, but I've loved adding this to my nightly routine, especially in these frindgid temperatures!
What winter beauty secrets do you ladies have, do share!

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - Apr 8, 2013) - Mark S. Doss, international opera singer and Grammy Award winner, is returning to the San Diego Opera as Amonasro in Giuseppe Verdi's Aida on April 20, 23, 26 and 28, 2013. This is his sixth role with the San Diego Opera since 1991.
"Amonasro is one of my signature roles, which I began performing over 15 years ago," says Doss. "Aida is a compelling love story with tragic consequences. With each performance, I endeavor to delve deeper and deeper into the musical, dramatic and linguistic complexities of the role, aided by pure emotional expression and the numerous inflections I can command with my voice. I am particularly excited about doing this role for the first time with maestro Daniele Callegari, whom I admire a great deal."
The bass-baritone's spirited interpretation of Amonasro, the Ethiopian King, continues to bring him to the stage of many leading opera houses, including the Vienna State Opera, Teatro alla Scala and Covent Garden's Royal Opera House in London. He most recently performed in the role before American audiences at Opera Tampa (April 2012), building upon past Stateside appearances in Pittsburgh, Houston and Minnesota during his illustrious career. Doss has also garnered praise by critics for his work as Amonasro, with the San Francisco Sentinel noting his "…strong and authoritative bass-baritone voice" and Opera News calling his portrayal "compelling."
This is Doss' second production of Aida since receiving Planet Africa's Entertainment Award in 2011 for his accomplishments in the performing arts and being a positive role model for youths. Playing the Ethiopian King truly makes performing the role very poignant considering it's an African-based opera.
Doss arrives in sunny San Diego after completing a successful run of Wagner's The Flying Dutchman in Bologna, Italy. The opening night of the Dutchman was telecast on RAI 5 some five days later and will soon be released on DVD. His Dutchman role generated rave reviews - notably Francesco Lora of Il Corriere Musicale wrote, "Not only in the monologue, you can admire the leadership of Mark S. Doss, a voice with exceptional resonance, rich harmonics, masculine burnished tone and emphasis as authoritative as to evoke the terrible god Wotan."
The Grammy winning opera singer will soon reprise the role of Amonasro in the Teatro de la Maestranza's run of Aida in Seville, Spain (October/November 2013), followed by performances as The Four Villains in Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann in Tokyo, Japan (November/December 2013).
Doss has received significant media coverage in connection to his recent performances, making guest TV appearances on ABC, NBC, FOX, CBC's George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight and Toronto News at Six, Rogers TV, and OMNI.
You can connect with Mark S. Doss through his Facebook fan page (https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Mark-S-Doss/78423203990), Google+ (https://plus.google.com/u/0/114847006736802038176), or follow him @marksdoss on Twitter (https://twitter.com/marksdoss).
Mark S. Doss is a celebrated bass-baritone whose accomplishments include a Grammy Award for his work on the recording of Semele (Handel), and numerous engagements with the famous Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Italy. Doss began his musical studies to aid in his ambitions to become a Catholic priest, but instead found opera to be his true calling. He has since emerged as one of the opera world's leading singers.

Washington (WVLT/AP) - More brands of hot dog chili sauce are being recalled.
The chili sauce has been linked to cases of botulism, a paralyzing illness that can be fatal.
Castleberry's Food Company is now recalling ten brands of chili sauce, corned beef hash and other canned products.
The company recalled seven extra brands, even though they weren't the subject of the FDA warning.
They include:
Castleberry's Hot Dog Chili Sauce
Austex Hot Dog Chili Sauce
Kroger Hot Dog Chili Sauce
Morton House Corned Beef Hash
Cattle Drive Chili With Beans
Southern Home Corned Beef Hash
Meijer Corned Beef Hash
Castleberry's Chili With Beans
Castleberry's Barbecue Pork
Bunker Hill Chili With No Beans
(AP) - Federal health officials are warning consumers to throw out certain cans of hot dog chili sauce after four people were hospitalized with botulism.
The Food and Drug Administration says the warning applies to ten-ounce cans of Castleberry's, Austex and Kroger brands of hot dog chili sauce with "best by" dates from April 30, 2009, through May 22, 2009.
Two Texas children and an adult couple from Indiana were sickened.
The products were made by the Castleberry's Food Company, owned by Bumble Bee Seafoods. The FDA has sent experts to a Castleberry's plant in Georgia where the products were canned.
Botulism is a rare, muscle-paralyzing disease caused by a toxin.
An FDA official says the toxin is so potent that if it gets on people's hands or face, it can make them ill.

I'm not the biggest salad fan out there, however, this recipe could sway me that way. Creamy kale salad takes a little time to prepare, but once you taste it, you'll be hooked.
This dish is all about what you put on top. You'll need a food processor for the dressing. When you pulse the avocado, vinegar, mustard and oil together, you get a thick topping that almost has the taste and texture of frosting. It is delicious.
When assembling the salad, you'll want to tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, something I didn't do my first time.
Not only does this salad taste good, it's good for you, especially the kale, a "super food."
Kale is found in the produce section of your grocery store. It is not only low in calories, high in fiber and calcium, but is filled with antioxidants and has no fat.
This salad also includes beets, apples and walnuts. What's not to love? Enjoy a salad with a twist and, of course, that vegan thing.
1 ripe avocado, halved, seed removed
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons walnut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ bunch kale, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1 small red beet, peeled and thinly sliced
1 sweet, crisp apple, cored and cut into thin wedges
½ toasted walnuts, chopped
For the dressing: Combine avocado, vinegar, mustard and oil in a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
For the salad: Combine kale, beets, apple and walnuts in a large bowl. Toss with avocado dressing. Season and serve.

THERE have been record numbers of seals using the southern Narooma bar crossing breakwater as a haul-out spot.
There were 14 seals seen basking in Friday's afternoon sun on the breakwater.
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service area manager Preston Cope said the seals were most likely to be Australian fur seals, but could also be New Zealand fur seals.
Cope explained that there are colonies of both species on Montague Island, where populations fluctuate from anywhere between 500 and 2000 seals.
"They're friendly looking, like dogs, but can be quite aggressive and dangerous, so should not be approached," Cope warned.
"They can lunge, be quite aggressive and have big canine teeth."
Retired Montague Island ranger Mark Westwood also regularly posts his breakwater seal sightings to his Facebook, noting that these are the most he has ever seen at the spot.
The seals have become quite the attraction for tourists and photos of and comments about the breakwater seals regularly pop up on various social media platforms.

Veteran producer Marc Abraham makes his feature film debut with FLASH OF GENIUS, based on a true story set in Detroit and spanning multiple decades. Dr. Robert Kearns (Greg Kinnear) has a good life. A respected college professor who teaches electrical engineering, he has a lovely wife (Lauren Graham) and six great kids. But first and foremost, Kearns is an inventor. In 1967, he built the intermittent windshield wiper, dubbing it 'Kearns' Blinking Eye', and ultimately shared his patented specs with Ford Motor Company so that he could manufacture the wipers for them. Then he spends his life trying to get Ford to admit that they stole his idea when he spots his invention on Ford cars after they bail out of the deal with him. Kearns isn't after money. In taking on one of the most powerful corporations in America, if not the world, Kearns wants Ford to tell the truth and give credit where credit is due. At the same time, he wants to protect the patent process for every inventor.

Portlaoise earn a replay
Portlaoise U-15s had to travel to Dundalk in the first round of the Leinster Cup recently and after a low scoring game, earned themselves a home replay.
Dundalk got off to a great start with a breakaway try within the first five minutes which was converted. They continued the pressure for most of the first half with some great defending from the Portlaoise side keeping the out.
Portlaoise went into the half time break seven points down but they came out very strong in the second half and showed great spirit. They were held up twice on the line by a very strong Dundalk side but after being camped on the Dundalk line for also 13 minutes, Portlaoise were rewarded with a try from Dermot Joyce which Martin Ward converted from under the posts.
Portlaoise had to defend their own line for the last five minutes but despite that pressure from a very strong Dundalk side, Portlaoise held on to earn a deserved replay.
This was a good solid performance from this Portlaoise side that started the match without some of their key players in the back line.
Dundalk will now have to travel to Portlaoise on a date to be arranged for a replay of this fixture to see who goes through to the next round.
Portlaoise: Michael Doran, Oisin Ryan, Darragh Hiney, Luke Smullen, Michael Hyland, Liam Holohan, Chris Cahill, Niall Hearns, Neil Lawlor, Martin Ward, William Ward, Peter Hennessy, Evan Hunt, Dermot Joyce, Adam Poole, Oisin Bergin, Bill O Brien, Gary Considine, Cian Crossan, Aaron Bates, Oisin Bennett, Cody Fitzpatrick, Joe Mc Cormack, Jack Ledesmond

I'm writing this article for anyone who lives outside of the United States who's curious about Halloween and who wants to come and visit the U.S. and see how Americans can do a Halloween celebration. Halloween in America is truly a unique experience, but because it's a cultural event, it can be difficult to gain access to some of the most endearing aspects of it without an insider acting as a guide.
John and I have done a lot of traveling outside the United States and we've seen a lot of festivals and done a lot of cultural things in foreign places. But there isn't any place in the world that celebrates Halloween the way Americans do. Mexico comes close with its Dia de los Muertos celebrations, but in reality, if you scratch more than just the surface of Dia de los Muertos as a cultural event, it's so radically different from Halloween as to be almost impossible to compare the two. In fact, it would be easier to compare Thanksgiving and Dia de los Muertos, in my opinion, but I digress…the USA Halloween festivities are entirely unique and like nothing you'll see anywhere else in the world. And if you're interested in seeing an American Halloween up close, I can't imagine a better experience than seeing Halloween in a small town like Brule, Nebraska.
Few people realize this, but most Americans are a little bit confused about what Halloween is and where the Halloween traditions come from. A defining moment in the history of Halloween came with the hit television show It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown that aired for the first time in 1966. Charles Schultz, the developer of the show, essentially redefined Halloween through this cartoon (a show you must see if you plan to visit the USA during Halloween). Before The Great Pumpkin, Halloween was a rowdy holiday when kids caused trouble and vandalized things. After The Great Pumpkin it became a holiday for trick-or-treating when kids go around innocently from house-to-house asking for candy. Though there are still plenty of "tricks" that happen on Halloween, The Great Pumpkin made Halloween into a holiday that's especially fun for kids.
Another mystifying activity that Americans do on Halloween is put on "haunted houses". Now, apparently, there are a few isolated haunted houses in other nations outside of the U.S., but in America, there are haunted houses everywhere at Halloween. I know that in Tel Aviv, Israel there's a haunted house and there are a few casas de terror in Mexico, but America is the place to go to see a real haunted house. Again, one of the cultural paradoxes pertaining to Halloween celebrations in the USA is the role of the Christian church in the development of haunted houses. The very first haunted house in the USA was a "hell house", a theatrical event put on by a Christian church portraying hell. The modern-day haunted house is an off-shoot of the original hell houses created and put on by Christian churches. Despite their Christian underpinnings, many Fundamentalist Christian churches view haunted houses as evil. In reality, modern-day haunted houses in the United States, are more like a work of art or an exercise in utilizing new technologies than a religious exercise. Most haunt operators strive to put the latest and greatest special effects into their haunts and create the most spectacular sets, costumes, and characters to wow their patrons. Haunted houses are a flamboyant, but often humorous celebration of the darker side of humanity.
So if you're planning to travel from another country to do Halloween in the USA, I highly recommend School District 13 Haunted Attraction in Brule, NE. I'll admit that I'm biased because this is my event, but having traveled a lot internationally, I know how hard it can be to really see and understand events outside of one's own culture. Brule is a small town in an area where few tourists visit. It's not just a place to go to see Halloween activities, but also farming activities in rural America. As you park your car on the outskirts of town, you'll likely see combines harvesting the corn fields in the dark. The grain elevator near the railroad tracks stays open late this time of the year so that farmers can dump grain while the weather is still cooperating with them. Halloween is also harvest-time in rural America which makes Brule a doubly interesting place to visit in October.
If you're coming from abroad, you could fly into Denver International Airport, rent a car, and be in Brule, Nebraska within 2 ½ to 3 hours. There are a number of hotels to choose from in Ogallala and Big Springs, NE (both within about a 10 minute drive along I-80 from Brule). And if you're coming a long distance, give us a heads-up that you plan to visit us at School District 13. If you're interested in small town life in the Great Plains, or Halloween in America, we'd love to give you an unforgettable experience with us!

In my application there is a module which displays info by reading from a table. This info can be edited. Once edited there is a series of actions needs to be performed. So i am maintaining a task table which will create task for each edit made. In order to execute the task, i need the data modified by the user along with the user id. My task table structure will be like this:
I am planning to have TaskType attribute based on which it will read the data from the source data table on which info is stored. Now my question is, i also need to maintain the userid to know for which user i have to fetch the data from the source data table? I don want to maintain that in TaskTable then it would become a Task of particular type. Can someone suggest on good approach for this?

You might want a TaskProcess table that is a one to many to the Task table with a foreign key on TaskID. The TaskProcess table can track the processing done on the task with a UserID , Action and Completed (boolean) as columns.

100% Grass-Fed Beef Offered by Indian Creek Angus
About Indian Creek Angus
Dennis Barron, originally from Alpharetta, Georgia, established Indian Creek Angus in 1995 in Franklin County, Georgia. Denny Barron, Dennis's oldest son, joined the company in 2010. He has worked in real estate and on cattle and horse farms his whole life. He oversees the farm's maintenance, construction, and security. Laura Barron McCook, Dennis's oldest daughter, joined the family business in 2013 after being a stay-at-home mother for the last several years. She handles phones, emails, and marketing for the company.
We believe that cattle should be raised humanely, in a natural and low-stress environment. Our cattle are given no growth hormones or steroids; they are not fattened on grain; they are not fed antibiotics.
Indian Creek Angus cattle are raised on the rich grasses of Northeast Georgia, with locally-grown, pesticide-free hay to supplement during the winter. Our herd has grown from an original registered Angus herd to include other excellent beef breeds like Hereford and Charolais. In addition, we have incorporated the Murray Grey breed from Australia through our first Murray Grey bull Kyle, and our second one, Vern, purchased from Vernon Hochstetler, an Amish grass-fed beef producer in Indiana. Murray Grey is considered one of the best breeds to convert grass to beef. The breed originated from an Angus and Shorthorn parent and the coat is grey. Kyle now has sired over 40 calves on our farm and they are all various shades of his beautiful grey. Vern will have progeny in the fall of 2013.
Indian Creek Angus is Certified Naturally Grown. We are also members of Georgia Organics, Local Harvest, Animal Welfare Approved and Eat Wild. Our beef is available at the farm, in Cumming, and through various farms and stores throughout the Atlanta area.
We invite you to visit our 340-acre farm, see the green pastures where our cattle graze, and learn of the benefits of 100% grass-fed beef. We're only an hour from Atlanta, Cumming, and Alpharetta, Georgia, and only 40 minutes from Athens, Georgia, and Lawrenceville, Georgia. We're the closest 100% grass-fed beef producer to Cobb, Fulton, Forsyth, Gwinnett, and Dawson counties.

Proposed Athletic Park
The Town is currently planning and designing a new Athletic Park which will be located across the street from the existing Mint Hill Athletic Association on Brief Road. A consultant (Wirth & Associates) has been contracted by the Town to provide master planning and development of construction plans. A separate consultant (Edifice, Inc.) has been selected to build the Park using the Construction Manager at Risk ("CM at Risk" or "CMR") method. The intent of this park is to provide as much active field space for sports to alleviate some of the growing demand for sports fields in our Town. The project will also include all supporting infrastructure for this type of a park, such as: parking, restrooms, concession stand, picnic space, a playground, and a walking path.
(project sign at the proposed location on Brief Road, across from MHAA)
The park is proposed to include the following amenities:
- Two natural turf multi-sport fields (120 yards x 75 yards, equivalent to a full-size soccer field)
- One synthetic turf multi-sport field (120 yards x 75 yards) with lighting
- A full-size baseball field with lighting (approx. 400' to centerfield) and accompanying 750 seat stadium (including seating, concessions, bathrooms, and picnic shelters)
- A playground
- A walking path (approximately ¾ mile in length)
- Open passive recreation space
- Approximately 300 parking spaces
(architect's rending of the baseball stadium plaza entrance)
Details of how the facilities will be programmed and/or rented out are not yet available.
Additionally, the project will include improvements to Brief Road (such as turn lanes and a pedestrian crosswalk) to improve the safety of what can be a busy area between the privately-owned Mint Hill Athletic Association and this new Park.
The Park will likely open in a phased manner since natural turf fields are a part of the site and they need time to establish a strong and healthy root system. The amenities that don't require a "growing in" will open as soon as construction is complete. This includes the synthetic turf multi-sport field, the playground, the walking trail, the parking lot, and the bathrooms and concessions facilities.
(proposed Athletic Park Master Plan - note: exact location/layout of features is subject to change during final design)
Update 7/10/17: The construction documents (better known as "the plans") have been finalized and all permits have been obtained (environmental, erosion control, buildings, etc.).
The project has been advertised for bids by the Town's Construction Manager at Risk, Edifice, Inc. Bids are due August 1, 2017. See Edifice's website for more info.
The next step is to open bids and determine the winning bidders for each work group (i.e. grading, landscaping, field construction, buildings, etc.). The bids will be tallied into one lump sum price which Edifice will present to the Town as a "guaranteed cost not to exceed." This will be the "price tag", so to speak, and the Board of Commissioners will vote on whether or not to direct the Town Manager to proceed with the project.
The park is anticipated to take approximately 10 months to construct, with the natural turf areas taking an additional full growing season to open for play. Any artifical turf areas and hard surface (such as the parking lot, playground, sidewalks/trails, bathrooms, etc.) will be open immediately upon completion.

Before the purchase, D'Anthony stated that it would be easy to get up to $450K in funding and the rates would be between 4% and 8% on the lines-of-credit. The sooner I purchased, the sooner he would work on the funding. Shortly after the purchase, D'Anthony sent me a list of what he called "funders" for me to contact. So all of a sudden it became a do-it-yourself deal.
Of the contacts that he sent me, NOT ONE would provide funding under the corporation that he sent me. Many of them were willing to provide personal funding, but at absurd rates. I was quoted rates of 9% to 15% with an additional 10% to 30% in points/fees. Two of the funders even told me that the corporation that I purchased was worthless.
D'Anthony has refused to provide me with a refund or any funding like his website claims. His voicemail has always said "that the mailbox is full," which should have tipped me off from the start. He had no problem calling me or texting me several times a day BEFORE the purchase.
D'Anthony and Yashua Financial are real scammers so please don't give them any money or pay for any services that they offer. They will never provide the services as stated on their website. They did provide me with a useless shelf corp that isn't worth the paper that it's printed on yet alone $5000 (and that was a huge discount, so they claim!)

Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by Thaddeus43, Aug 25, 2013.
He will join the punks running out on the field this time next month.
Haha, hope it was worth it Hawk. What an idiot
If there was a hall of fame for pre-season players; Lavelle Hawkins would be in it
He's obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
You're on the roster bubble and you get three taunting penalties. Dude... C'mon.
Harbaugh is a no nonsense guy. It's hard to believe they'll keep Hawkins around even though they're weak at WR and may not have a KR/PR. Is LaMichael James not any good as a KR/PR?
He's seriously an idiot for the 3 taunting penalties.
Also, wasn't he cut by the Patriots like one week after signing with them? Probably just threw away his last shot.
I'm working in our Cali office this week..
I was sitting working at my computer earlier with the game playing in the background when they called his name I about spit my gatorade all over my screen.I kept thinking it had to be another dude with the same name...
That dude is like herpes. It goes away but always comes back. There are a few on here who know all about it. I won't mention their names but if you don't believe the comparison just ask Titans Eternal, Scarecrow , Tennessy XO and JCBRAVE
The dude in the office working with me is all like "Damn I hope we keep him" and I'm all like "I bet my paycheck you won't be saying that in 4 seasons"...
**** no
sita fiv
Sorry Ghost but that was funny. TE you're a f***ing riot! That was hilarious!
I never understood why we gave him as much money as we did. He was pretty average/below average his entire time here. That contract made him public enemy #1 when cuts were coming around.

November 6, 2014
Washington, DC — The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Division of Market Oversight (DMO) issued time-limited, no-action relief to Southwest Airlines and its counterparties to allow additional time to comply with the reporting obligation in §43.3(a), in the context of transactions in long-dated Brent and WTI crude oil swaps and swaptions.
The CFTC reporting rules contemplated phase-in compliance with the reporting requirements based on market participants, place of execution and underlying asset. The no-action relief responds to the request by Southwest Airlines for additional time to comply with the reporting obligations for Brent and WTI crude oil swap and swaption contracts with the expiration dates of at least two years out. DMO has provided time-limited relief to Southwest Airlines and its counterparties provided that:
This relief expires upon the CFTC's determination that Brent and WTI crude oil swap and swaption contracts are subject to the mandatory clearing requirement and/or upon DMO's determination that there is sufficient liquidity in such contracts and thus a shorter time period for the real-time reporting is warranted.

The Railway Man tells the real life story of Eric Lomax, a Lieutenant in World War II who was captured along with his regiment and forced to participate in the construction of the Burma Railway. The film is based on the memoirs of Lomax himself, and details the remarkable story of how he was tortured at the hands of a young Japanese officer whom he later met and, extraordinarily, reconciled with, decades after the war was over.
Every now and again we hear war stories that reaffirm the potential for goodness in humankind, even in the most horrific circumstances, and this story – which follows Lomax in his later years and in wartime flashbacks – is one with a simple but transcendent message.
It is directed by Jonathan Teplitzky and stars both Colin Firth and Jeremy Irvine as Eric Lomax. In the post-war segments, we see Lomax meeting and falling in love with Patti (Nicole Kidman) and attending veterans meetings headed up by old war colleague Finlay (Stellan Skarsgård). Jeremy Irvine's sections are more straightforward, and detail the conditions under which POWs were treated by Japanese forces.
I felt that the film, although it is well made, was rarely as remarkable or memorable as the story it is telling. This may be because the framing narrative keeps the older Lomax off screen for much of the mid section, and in doing so removes our most direct emotional link to the events being recounted. Instead, we see Patti interviewing Finlay about his former comrade's travails, while our link to Lomax becomes the Jeremy Irvine section of the film, which is nicely played but ultimately quite straightforward. Although the film is establishing the horrors of war in its flashbacks, it actually has the effect of removing us from the focus of the first part of the film, in which Lomax struggles to live comfortably with Patti under the weight of the memories he cannot expunge. It's not too much of a criticism, because the flashback scenes are decently done, but because the film begins with a charisma of its own – a lovely sequence in which Lomax awkwardly charms Patti on a train – the war scenes feel oddly distracting and undercooked.
Thankfully the final third of the film, in which Lomax returns to the scene of the horrors that befell him, is effectively done. Like the mid section, I felt that the script was lacking a spark at times, but Firth and Hiroyuki Sanada (who plays the older version of Lomax's torturer) give the scenes gravitas. Sanada's performance is perhaps the most important in the film, because it counters the one-sided depiction of the Japanese that comes as a result of only seeing things from Lomax's perspective. There is also a quite beautiful moment in which Lomax looks out over an English landscape – notably featuring a railway bridge – which is one of the film's most memorable and subtle touches.
At the closing credits, we get the now fairly standard Hollywood practice of bringing in photographs of the real protagonists, and it's a genuinely moving conclusion. The film is uneven, and doesn't make the most of Firth's good performance in the opening scenes, but it's never theless a solidly made piece of drama. Although the film itself is not exceptional, it tells an important story with a well-articulated message, and for that reason merits attention.

Grgranny, DEFINITELY!
Thanks for the news. They have improved greatly this year as I saw in Skate America despite the fall. It will be an interesting competition in Worlds.
This is OT, but I clicked the arrow to see the next feature or whatever about the woman with the tumor and holy crap!
They did a fine job. I watched it. He was perfectly apologetic in public by taking the blame. You had to feel for both of them.
Do they train in Chicago? or was this an Oprah paid trip?
Yup, Oleg Vasiliev found ice in Chicago.Originally Posted by Joesitz
Yes, it seems they have happy conditions training in the Chicago area. They are here now, making an Oprah appearance easy to schedule, as they are taped. I was actually surprised they returned between Torino and Moscow, but maybe training in Russia is too difficult and/or crowded right now.
They seem happy with their arrangements in the area, which has a surprisingly high number of quality facilities in the cities and towns right around Chicago (as well as a large Russian and Ukrainian immigrant population). I live in Chicago, and can choose from six quality rinks to skate at within a 30 minute trip, most only 15 minutes, from my home. There is plenty of good ice, ice time and support for them here.
I am hoping that they skate well for them, and demonstrate their evolving mastery of Pairs Skating and their continued improvements and excellence. Their skating is completely different experienced in person versus television, and is absolutely gorgeous when they are "on". My hope is that they will be recognized for their superior overall skating and spinning and jumping skills and retain their world title, and go on to win the Olympics.
I saw it, too. It was cute how Maxim lifted Tatiana right into the air, before they went on stage. I hope they do great in Moscow at Worlds.

Looking for info. re: William W. Whitney of Dunham, PQ (1818-1860's).
In the 1840's he and his wife Sarah Marie Eaton (of Maine) moved around a lot--Vt., NH and Maine
where most of their children were born. They returned to Dunham and are on the 1851 and '61 census there.
William may be son to Paul Whitney and Lucinda Marsh (m. 1809 in Berkshire, Vt, but residing in Dunham PQ).
William's son Carlos F. Whitney was an Adirondack guide in the Saranac area in the 1870's-1890's. He married Elisa Marsh in Crown Point, NY in 1876. (dau. to Joseph Marsh, b.NH and Ann Chapin).

DVDiva for June 2
Published 3:40 am, Wednesday, June 1, 2011
Pick of the week —
I SAW THE DEVIL (R) Korean story of agent whose fiancee is tortured and murdered by serial killer is original and graphic. Biggest complaints are the weak dialogue and gratuitous nudity, but everything else is a must see for fans of the torture porn genre. B
THE BIG BANG (R) Antonio Banderas plays a private detective trying to find a missing girl. Unique quantum physics angle and some interesting casting — notably Snoop Dogg and Sam Elliott — could have been interesting but story is too convoluted to figure out. C
BURNING PALMS (R) Five 20-minute short films that are not related save for a running theme that's kind of a cross between "Tales From the Crypt" and HBO's "Real Sex" series. Best and funniest of the lot is one called "This Little Piggy" in which a man's sexual request is met by his girlfriend, who deeply regrets her compliance. B-
ELEPHANT WHITE (R) Djimon Hounsou plays a mercenary hired to find a woman believed to have been kidnapped and sold into the sex slave industry in Thailand. Fun to see and hear Kevin Bacon play a British arms dealer, but rest of the film is too complicated for a story of this nature. It's trying to rise above a popcorn flick by bringing substantive situations and dialogue but brings in so many explosions and a high body count that it accomplishes neither. C
I AM NUMBER FOUR (PG-13) Roger Ebert's review may be better than the film itself but the movie is far better than he gives it credit for. Survivor story of an alien and his caretaker trying to outwit, outlast and outplay other aliens who seek to overtake Earth basically boils down to a boy meets girl story in which the boy can blow stuff up by turning his hands into fireball machines. B
JOLENE (R) Coming of age film about girl who endures one abusive relationship after another in her troubled young life. Despite depressing theme, Jessica Chastian, in her feature film debut, lights up the screen. B-

It was doing the little things right that helped the Western Brown baseball team secure an 8-7 Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division victory over Clermont Northeastern last Friday night at Midland Field in the Reds Futures High School Showcase.
On the other hand, it was doing those same little things not so well that played a big part in the Rockets suffering their fourth loss of the young season.
The Broncos took advantage of every opportunity afforded them by a Rockets team that struggled to make routine plays while also executing their small ball offensive game plan to perfection before Alex Smith's run scoring infield single in the bottom of the seventh inning capped off Western Brown's first win of the season.
"They're kind of like us. They have pretty good pitching but the defense is a little suspect at times and they haven't gotten hitting," Western Brown coach Brett Barber said. "We're thankful we were a little more sound technically."
Though the Broncos had taken advantage of opportunities and played small ball very well as they scored their first two runs on back-to-back bunts in the second inning, the Rockets seemed to be turning the game around in the bottom of the fourth inning trailing 4-2.
With the bases loaded and no outs, Rockets starting pitcher Tanner Sanders struck out three straight batters — the Broncos No. 3-4-5 hitters — to keep the deficit at two as the game entered the fifth inning.
"(Tanner) pitched well," Rockets coach Mike Kirk said.
After pitching well the first four innings, Broncos starter Rich Burton ran into some trouble in the top of the fifth.
A walk, a bloop single and a hit batter loaded the bases for the Rockets with no outs. Rocket senior Aaron Wright then hit a low liner that hit Burton in the ankle. As Burton scrambled to grab the ball and try to get the force at home, a run scored before he could get the out.
With the Broncos still ahead by one, 4-3, and the bases still loaded and no one out, Scotty Ryan was brought in to relieve Burton.
After getting Sanders to pop out, Ryan hit a batter to force a run in, gave up a sac fly to Greg Warman and walked back-to-back batters to force in another run.
The inning, which featured just one hit, helped the Rockets take a 6-4 lead.
But they weren't able to hold it for long.
Nickell led off the bottom of the inning with a single to right.
Sanders look to have the inning in control, however, as he struck out the next batter and got Lane Day to hit a grounder to the second baseman.
As the Rockets tried to turn two, the relay to first base was out of Warman's reach at first base. The error kept the inning alive as Day ended up at second base when he could have been the final out of the inning.
And the Broncos again took advantage.
A triple to right center by Corey Carroll got Day in before Hiro Purdon hit a chopper to third base that ended with another throwing error and allowed Carroll to score to tie the game at six.
Another error, this time by shortstop Joey Cockerham on Nick Woodyard's grounder, allowed Purdon to score and gave the Broncos the lead back at 7-6.
"Too many unearned runs. You get really good pitching and it's hard to keep your composure through the better part of five unearned runs or six unearned runs or whatever it ended up being," Kirk said. "That's tough to come back from."
It looked as if the Broncos were going to pull out the win as Ryan settled down on the mound and helped the Broncos keep the one run lead into the top of the seventh inning.
But with Bronco ace Caden Piatt on the mound, CNE sophomore Jay Teaney came up big.
His single to right field with two outs scored the game-tying run for the Rockets and kept them alive for the win.
"When we needed a hit, we got it when it counted," Kirk said.
Tied at seven heading into the bottom of the final inning, the Broncos again took advantage of a CNE mistake.
Carroll lifted a routine fly ball to lead off the inning that the right fielder misjudged and allowed to fall for a hit. Carroll ended up at second base on the play.
With Carroll on third base after a Purdon sacrifice, the Rockets intentionally walked Woodyard and Piatt to load the bases to allow for a force out at any base.
"We're going to have play small ball and that was it," Barber said. "Bunting won us the game."
Wright, who had relieved Sanders in the sixth inning, then struck out pinch hitter Devyn Wood for the second out before he to Smith to hit a grounder towards shortstop.
Cockerham fielded it cleanly and got the throw off on target but Smith hustled down the line and was called safe on a bang-bang play as Carroll scored the winning run.
"The grass is so high that all you have to do is put it in play and hustle it out," Barber said. "And our guys are some of the fastest in the league."
The win was Barber's first as coach of the Broncos.

Former WWE Superstar and current TNA wrestler Ken Anderson recently did an interview with SLAM! Sports. Below are a few selections from the full article, which you can view by following the link above.
On Jeff Hardy and their match at Sacrifice:
"I'm dealing with a guy who is, in my opinion, a living legend and is probably one of the youngest living legends we have in our business. He's somebody I completely looked up to when I was coming up through the ranks and I still do." … "I'm a fan of Jeff Hardy. We're very competitive. We like each other, so that's always a challenge to wrestle each other when you're getting along, but I always enjoy getting in the ring with Jeff."
On making a face/heel turn so many times in TNA:
"I probably wouldn't have chosen to make the switch so many times. I think last year I turned four or five times, maybe." … "It was frustrating, but I don't take part in any of the creative. I don't want to be a part of that. I don't want to be one of those guys that sits in on the meetings and then books himself to do certain things. I try to just do what I'm told to the best of my ability. I'm a performer. I take what they give me and try to make the most out of it. I can always be better."

ST. LOUIS - JANUARY 30: Tony Amonte #10 of the Calgary Flames looks on during the game against the St. Louis Blues on January 30, 2006 at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The Blues defeated the Calgary Flames 3-2 in a sudden death shootout (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images).
Tony Amonte played eight-plus seasons in Chicago but one current Blackhawk doesn't really care what one of the franchise's all-time best has to say about him. Marian Hossa, who missed Game 3 against the Bruins due to injury, was lit up by Amonte, who is ninth on the team's all-time scoring list with 541 points. "[Hossa] is not the guy with the highest pain threshold in the NHL," Amonte said on Monday night on Comcast SportsNet. "If you look back to his stats and you look throughout his career, he usually plays about 60 games, takes about 20 or 30 off every year just to make sure he's fresh coming into the postseason. He's not a guy that will play through a lot of injuries." After playing in Game 4 –and playing well — Hossa fired a shot back at the Massachusetts native. "I don't really care what Tony Amonte says," Hossa barked when asked if he heard Amonte's comments. "Look, if you cannot go, you cannot go," he said on Wednesday of missing Monday's game. "You almost feel useless there. [Wednesday night] was different decision, one extra day so I decided I can help a little bit and I'm glad we won." Hossa skated in pregame warmups prior to Game 3 but was scratched at the last minute. Ben Smith, who didnt even warm up, suited up and played over 10 minutes, posting a minus-1 in the Blackhawks' 2-0 defeat. Hossa has 925 career regular-season points in 1,018 games to go with 113 career playoff points in 150 postseason games. He's one of the most skilled players on the ice and has played in four Cup Finals. "You're in the Stanley Cup [Final]," Amonte said Tuesday on WEEI. "You give whatever you can to your organization and that's the way most guys will do it. That's what Nathan Horton's doing right now." Horton, of course, left Game 1 with a shoulder injury but hasn't missed any time since. "He can say whatever he wants about me, that's fine, I don't care," Amonte said on Wednesday night. "He can make his comments and go on from there, but the Chicago Blackhawks needed him last game, and that's the point. That's the only point I'm trying to make."

Moringa oleifera leaves are small, thick, and extremely nutritious leaves, that contain a rich combination of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, powerful antioxidants, and complete protein.
The bulk of the nutrition is found in the young leaves. The older the leaves are – the less nutrition they contain. That is way moringa leaves are harvested early when moringa trees are still saplings. They are plucked from freshly cut branches.
After being cleaned of impurities, the moringa leaves are dried at low temperature for better vital nutrients preservation. Then they are chopped into deep green powder.
The moringa leaf powder could be encapsulated, or bagged as a loose powder.
Another way for using moringa leaves is as a tea, either alone or in a combination with the other teas.
The leaves are rich in proteins, 100 g of fresh leaves has 2 times more proteins than 100g of yogurt, 4 times the calcium of 100 g of milk, , the same amount of potassium as 100 g of banana, the same amount of vitamin A as 100 g of carrot, 3 times the vitamin C of 100 g of orange. However, like most plants, heating moringa above 140 F will destroy some of the nutritional value.
Fresh leaves could be prepared like spinach, cooked (see recipe at howtoAtoZ.net) or in a salad, as a spinach substitute. Dry leaves powder is commonly used in a soups and sauces.
One of many moringa lives properties is to treat abdominal bloating. In this case a person should drink some moringa tea. Mix 1 tablespoon powdered moringa with 50 ml of boiling water, let it stay for 1 hour or longer, then strain and drink like any other tea.
Eating leaves is believed to increase women's milk productions and is sometimes prescribed for anemia.
Juice from the leaves is believed to have a stabilizing effect on the blood pressure, and to control glucose levels in cases of diabetes.

Kirsty Hopkins On ... Rambert Dance Company's Labyrinth of Love
Glenn Meads • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 3 Oct 2012
Can you tell us a bit about Labyrinth of Love. What's the concept?
It is a new ballet set to music by American composer Michael Daugherty and choreographed by Marguerite Donlon. It's a song cycle for soprano and orchestra made up of 7 songs using poetry by women over the last 2000 years about love. The ballet explores the heart-break, the joy, the confusion and vulnerability that relationships can cause. The singer is on stage throughout the ballet, moving amidst the dancers.
What are the best things about being involved with Rambert?
I've really loved the sense of collaboration on this project. I've not been involved in a ballet before and it has been a very different rehearsal process compared to what I'm used to. Because the work has been choreographed as we've gone along, it's been constantly changing and Marguerite and the dancers aren't afraid to try something and if it doesn't work try again and again until they find something that does. In other work I do, I rarely get to be involved so early in the creative process. On top of that, the dancers are a) incredible and b) gorgeous to be with. They are such an amazing team and have made me feel really welcome.
And the worst?
Watching these wonderful artists work has made me have to finally admit to myself that my childhood dream of becoming a prima ballerina will probably never happen!
How long is the rehearsal period and has it been intense?
The dancers and Marguerite worked for four weeks in June, then revisited their work in August for a fortnight. Sarah (Gabriel, the other soprano who I share the project with) and I have dropped in throughout that time and now we are in the final run-up to the premiere in Salford. The rehearsals have been very intense because there's so much to remember. The music is very complicated at times and is all from memory. The dancers have such incredible physical memory and assimilate changes to choreography immediately. It takes me a while longer!
How much input have you had?
Because this is a work set to various poems, there is no narrative as such, but I hope that the way I am singing the piece gives a real sense of continuity to the work. My singing is as far as I go on creative input - better to leave the rest to the experts.
What did you last see on stage that blew you away?
I don't get to the theatre very much at all unfortunately because my busy work schedule simply doesn't allow it. I was really lucky recently though because when up in Manchester for rehearsals earlier in the year, I managed to catch Wonderful Town which my friend James Burton was musical director for at The Lowry. Connie Fisher was awesome and the whole show was simply brilliant.
What made you want to sing for a living?
It's a bit of an addiction really, which can be a blessing and a curse. I'm very lucky though. I love my job. I get to travel all over the world and have made some wonderful friends along the way.
If you weren't performing, what would you be doing?
I've done a fair bit of producing which I love. I'd love to also run my own business one day. Watch this space...
What is your favourite section in the show?
For lyrics, the sixth song in the cycle uses things Elizabeth Taylor said about her relationship with Richard Burton. It's incredibly moving and poignant. One of the dancers Estela is handed from man to man in the most heart-breaking choreography. It knocks me sideways every time.
How does it feel coming back to the North West?
Brilliant! It feels like a home from home. It makes such a difference to able to tour to places you know well, with favourite restaurants and shops. It makes you feel much less homesick! On top of that, Manchester has such a fantastic cultural scene. It's wonderful to be able to contribute to that.
Lastly, why should audiences come and see the show?
I've fallen completely for this project. The dancing is amazing. The music is beautiful. The visuals and costumes are outstanding. It's just really really special.
Rambert Dance Company's Labyrinth of Love is at The Lowry from 10 - 12 October.

I had a doorman at my apartment building in Caballito who loved bleach. Absolutely loved bleach. We lived there – it's a neighborhood in the center of Buenos Aires – for three years before moving to the beach in Pinamar. Every morning the doorman would come downstairs to clean the sidewalk and the entrance hall. The first thing he did was to sniff around the sidewalk and the walls and pillars of the building.
"You get one pissing and you'll get every damn dog in the city pissing on your walls!"
That's what he told me.
He had a nose for dog urine. He knew before he even opened the front door. Out he stepped with his bleach and his face would scrunch up and his nostrils would do a survey until viola! There it is! A fresh urine mark on the white pillar. He'd attack with the bleach. The sidewalk? The driveway? All of it would get bleached. I'd watch and he'd hold up the bleach to me like a man with his bottle of whiskey. Then he'd scrub and hose everything down and if need be he'd do a second run to annihilate any remains of urine.
"If one cocks its legs, another will!"
I nodded in agreement. He must know. He's in the business. But, I thought, wouldn't something greener work just as well as bleach? Think of the rivers. Think of the water table and the environment. What about white vinegar? And pepper? Use something greener, save the planet, cut down on chemicals and find something natural to keep the dogs from squirting your walls.
"No, son. Bleach is the way. You've got to stop them. If one does it, a hundred will follow."
I hadn't thought about the bleach and dog urine for a while. It's true that walls can reek in my new neighborhood of Colegiales. They can anywhere that owners let their dogs go willy nilly marking their territory. But it wasn't ever on my house.
Not until today.
Then I spotted the mark running down my green garage door. It stank strong and heavy. Crap, I thought. Then before I knew it there was another mark, and another. It was a heyday. "Come on guys," the dogs were barking down the street. "We've got a new spot. Step right up and cock your legs and let it spray!"
The filthy bastards, the filthy owners.
I thought of the doorman. So without contemplating a more environmentally friendly alternative I went straight for the bleach. I poured an unhealthy portion into a bucket of water and poured it down the garage door. Be gone stench, be gone mark. Let no dog wee here ever again. Or next time it will be 100 gallons of hydrochloric acid to dissolve any trace of urine and any trace of the damn garage door and any four-legged vermin caught doing his thing. They'll be dissolved without a trace.

Eating light and fresh is the way to go during the summer. And if you like being hands on with your food, why not try spring rolls? They are great for a romantic couple's night in, or even with a big group of friends. Either way, it allows you to dig into a platter full of the vegetables and fresh herbs that you love. Although spring rolls are typically all about the vegetables, don't be afraid to switch up the game. Slices of fruit or even bits of protein could really make your spring rolls a recipe that is indeed all yours.
Before we even begin, it should be said that spring rolls have a few different names–Thai spring rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls, summer rolls, salad roll, crystal roll. Different names, same idea. The little guys making an appearance in this spring roll platter are tried and true regular ingredients, but there's no reason why you couldn't try a batch with jicama, mango, cooked eggplant or mushrooms, bamboo shoots, soybean sprouts, asparagus or roasted peppers. Of course, roasted chicken, tender, grilled beef, steamed shrimp or even fish could make for great additions as well. No matter how you roll it together, the spring roll is your vehicle to happy. Of course, don't forget a couple of condiments to go along with everything. Below, you will find two recipes–one for a spicy, chunky peanut sauce and another for a sweet chili sauce with a tangy kick. You can definitely make the sauces and rolls a couple of hours before a big party. Just be sure to cover the prepared rolls with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap, as they tend to harden when left out. In all honesty, they are bast when eaten immediately.
The second dish that accompanied the spring rolls was a batch of coconut milk-laced green lentils. There's something about coconut milk that makes just about anything better. It's so creamy and smooth, and the flavor it adds pushes everything over the top. Of course, you could use a lowfat coconut milk, but a little je ne sais quoi is lost with the reduced fat version. Coconut milk is a great alternative to coconut cream for most dishes if you want to shave off a bit of the fat. The key to these lentils is a bit of green curry paste. You can make your own, or you can buy the jarred version that is usually a blend of galangal, garlic, lemongrass, cilantro, coriander, kaffir lime zest, shallots and more. If you get your hands on all of the raw ingredients, peel and trim them as necessary, then grind with a mortar and pestle until you have a smooth paste. The flavor is unmatched. As the lentils soften in the liquid, they will continue to release their natural starches and the mixture will thicken. Over a serving of rice, these lentils are very warming and satisfying. Spring rolls and coconut curried lentils are the perfect dishes to add to your summer list.
Thai Spring Rolls with Pan Fried Tofu – Serves 4
12 ounces extra firm tofu, drained, pressed and cut into 1/2″ strips
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, plus more as necessary
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1 small bunch fresh mint, stems removed
1 small bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed
4 large radishes, thinly sliced
1 small red pepper, thinly sliced
1 small carrot, thinly sliced
1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
12-16 large spring roll wrappers
1. Thoroughly dry the tofu strips and lay them on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, coriander, cumin, white pepper and salt. Season the tofu with the spice mixture and set aside.
2. Heat a medium frying pan over a medium high flame and add the grapeseed oil and sesame oil. Once hot, add a few strips of the tofu in two or three batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and allow to cool.
3. To form the rolls, fill a medium frying pan halfway with water and bring to a simmer. Dip a spring roll wrapper into the water until it softens and becomes malleable. Carefully lay it on a flat surface, unfolding any edges to create a full circle. Working quickly, begin by placing a piece of cooled tofu lengthwise towards the bottom edge of the spring roll wrapper. Top with a few vegetables of your choice, but do not overfill. Fold the short ends of the wrapper over the left and right side, then roll from the bottom up as if you're making a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers, then serve immediately.
Spicy Peanut Sauce – Approximately 3/4 cup
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
3 scallions, trimmed
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, roughly chopped
1 small Thai chili
Zest and juice of 1 small lime
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor until combined.
Sweet and Tangy Chili Sauce
1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup coconut vinegar
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
In a small bowl, whisk all of the ingredients until combined.
Green Curry and Coconut Lentils – Serves 4 to 6
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
16 ounces green lentils
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, grated
3 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup green curry paste
1 cup coconut milk
1. Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Once melted, add the onions and cook, stirring often, until soften and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
2. Increase the heat to a high flame. Add the lentils, ginger and garlic, then vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Add the green curry paste and coconut milk and continue to cook for another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and serve with rice.
