A former Bachelor NZ contestant has applied for MAFS NZ
- Publish Date
- Monday, 19 June 2017, 11:48AM
A few familiar faces have applied for a place on Married at First Sight NZ — including a former Bachelor contestant.
More than 4000 singles in search of love have put their names forward. There were so many applicants that Three had to double its casting team just to get through them. Producers tell Spy the 25-40 year bracket is well catered for — but matches are still needed for older and same-sex couples.
Fans shouldn't hold their breath to see the ex-bachelorette have another run of fame — Spy has heard she didn't make the cut.
Spy has also learned that the show's makers are keen to avoid the sartorial bloopers of the Australian version. Producers noted some ill-fitting gowns across the Tasman and have been courting local designers; one we are told has done heaps of celebrity weddings and the other has international links. We are guessing Jane Yeh or Trish Peng — only one designer will be chosen to dress and fit MAFS' NZ brides.
Experts are almost all on board to begin the matching process and the Kiwi version will also have the communal vibe that made the last Aussie season so good. All the brides and grooms will be housed together in one big apartment complex. Expect explosive dinner parties, cat fights and hopefully some everlasting love.

Public Law No: 110-286 (07/22/2008)
(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the House on July 15, 2008. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE (Junta's Anti-Democratic Efforts) Act of 2008 - (Sec. 4) States that it is U.S. policy to: (1) condemn the repression carried out by the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) of Burma; (2) support a peaceful transition to constitutional democracy in Burma; (3) support international efforts to alleviate the suffering of Burmese refugees and address the urgent humanitarian needs of the Burmese people; and (4) hold accountable individuals responsible for the repression of peaceful political activity in Burma.
(Sec. 5) Subjects the following persons to a U.S. entry visa prohibition and financial sanctions (blocked property, financial transaction prohibitions, prohibited activities, and banking sanctions), including: (1) former and present leaders of the SPDC, the Burmese military, or the Union Solidarity Development Association (USDA); (2) officials of the SPDC, the Burmese military, or the USDA involved in political repression in Burma or other gross violations of human rights abuses; (3) other Burmese SPDC, Burmese military, and USDA supporters; and (4) immediate family members of any such persons.

Exempts medical and humanitarian assistance and certain financial transactions from such restrictions. Authorizes additional waivers for diplomatic, official U.S. Government, and travel purposes. Subjects persons who violate such prohibitions to certain civil and criminal penalties.
Terminates such sanctions upon a presidential certification to Congress that the SPDC has: (1) unconditionally released all political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of the National League for Democracy (NLD); (2) entered into a dialogue with democratic forces led by the NLD and the ethnic minorities of Burma on transitioning to democratic government; and (3) allowed humanitarian access to populations affected by armed conflict in all regions of Burma.
Authorizes the President to waive such sanctions if it is in the national interests of the United States.
(Sec. 6) Amends the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003 (BFDA) to prohibit the importation into the United States of jadeite and rubies, including jewelry containing such articles (covered articles) from Burma until the President certifies to Congress that Burma has met certain conditions concerning human rights and democratic reforms and has implemented certain counternarcotics measures.
Directs the President to require certain conditions for the importation into the United States of such articles from other countries (non-Burmese covered articles) in order to prevent trade in Burmese covered articles. Subjects Burmese covered articles and non-Burmese covered articles that are imported into the United States to seizure and forfeiture and to U.S. criminal and civil laws.
Expresses the sense of Congress that the President should take the necessary steps to negotiate an international arrangement (similar to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for conflict diamonds) to prevent the trade in Burmese covered articles.
Requires the President to report to Congress on what U.S. actions have been taken to seek: (1) the issuance of a draft waiver decision by the Council for Trade in Goods of the World Trade Organization (WTO) granting the United States a waiver under the WTO with respect to the provisions of this Act; (2) the adoption of a United Nations (U.N.) resolution calling for the creation and implementation of a certification scheme for non-Burmese covered articles to prevent trade in Burmese covered articles; and (3) the negotiation of an international arrangement to prevent the trade in Burmese covered articles. Requires the Comptroller General to report to Congress on the effectiveness of this Act.

David Hunt's Tipton-Rosemark Academy Rebels had something to prove entering the William Osteen Gymnasium.
The other high school in Millington finally made it's presence felt Dec. 14 on the campus of Millington Central High School. TRA players were competitive and entertaining with two powerful dunks from Darien Weakley.
And Rebel senior guard Johnie Sanfratello even brought the Millington Trojans' Student Section to its feet pulling up to the volleyball line for a deep three-pointer in the second half.
Despite all those TRA highlights, it was the Millington Trojans winning the Flag City Showdown 74-52.
"I'm sure for some of the kids, they're friends with those guys over there," Millington Head Coach Rob Sabau said. "They grew up with them and they know them. So that's important. But overall I just think they were hungry to win. And they played like that at times."
The Trojans jumped out to a 13-6 lead after Johnny Mattox hit a three-pointer. The Rebels stayed close in the first quarter behind a Weakley bucket and Sanfratello NBA-range three-pointer.
With the score 13-11, the Trojans closed out the first period with a 10-3 run. Prensten Macon was the offensive force with 7 points to close out the opening quarter.
The senior defensive specialist used steals to hit a jumper, layup and three-pointer to give Millington a 23-14 lead.
"They were trying to push the ball," Macon recalled. "So we had to pressure them. I noticed at times they couldn't handle the pressure. Offensive game, we just hustle. The defense creates the offense."
The pressure from the Trojans created a 29-16 advantage in the second quarter after a Bryce Mattox score.
Sanfratello made a pair of free throws and the Trojans proceeded with a 11-2 run featuring a Kip Fleming layup and Kelvin Jones three-pointer. Millington was ahead 42-23 at the break.
The Rebels fought back in the third quarter outscoring Millington 14-9 in the opening minutes. During that stretch Weakley broke free from the Trojans defense for a two-hand slam.
Moments later, Hunt set up an inbound-play that allowed Weakley a clear path to the rim again for a power dunk.
When Sanfratello hit his second deep triple of the night, the score was 51-37. Then it was time for Trojans guard Cameron Crawford to become the shooting specialist.
The senior guard sparked Millington to a 7-3 run to end the third quarter. Crawford ended the third period with a three-pointer and added two more long-range bombs in the fourth quarter.
"My adrenaline was running and we wanted to come out with the win," Crawford said. "We just went on and did it."
Millington outscored TRA 16-12 in the final period to win the game.
"I think this team is starting to figure out what they need to do to win," Sabau said. "I told them the other night, 'I don't think we've been beaten. We've loss game.' When you get beat, the other team does things that take you out of your game. I don't think that happen. I think we made plays in the negative that cause us to lose. We were there in every ballgame and just couldn't close out. Or we just didn't make plays. That's part of the process of them learning how to win."
With the TRA game behind them, the Trojans turned their focus to District 15-2A play preparing for the Covington Chargers and the powerful Haywood County Tomcats.
"We start district tomorrow at the defending State champs," Sabau said. "We have a tall order ahead of us. It was good to see Cameron Crawford make shots. He starting to shoot the ball better the past couple of game.
"Bryce Mattox is important to our offensive game," he concluded. "He's been able to get to the basket and he's now starting to finish. If he can continue to do that, we're going to be a pretty tough team. To be No. 1 seed, you have to win at home and split on the road in league. We definitely need to win Friday. And if we can steal one tomorrow, we'll be in great shape."

I'm still working on Module 8 with transparent fabrics. This piece was created using black organza, home dyed vibrant green muslin and crystal organza. I adhered some circles of crystal organza and muslin between the layers of black organza, and then adhered some circles on the top layer of black organza.
From there I machine stitched swirls and circles on, or around. the adhered fabrics, in black thread, and continued the circle design by stitching groups of circles in the negative spaces of the black organza.
I finished it off with some hand stitching in running stitch using green DMC floss, running around the outlines of the circular stitching.
The photos don't show the vibrancy of the colours or fabrics, which is a shame, but it shines and sparkles lovely.
My family thinks its like something out of the sea, but it reminds me of the stars, so I've called it the "Cosmos".

When Taurus falls in love with a Gemini, they will do anything to understand their nature.
There is nothing that a gentle nature of Taurus can't understand, however different from their personal primal character it might be.
In most cases, their best chance of a loving relationship is in the love Taurus feels.
We wouldn't say that Gemini is insensitive or unemotional, but they certainly have different approach to their emotional nature than the Earth sign of Taurus, that exalts the Moon.
Gemini's intentions are often misinterpreted here and this can lead to a number of following situations that will hurt them both.
This is where their differences and element natures strongly diverge.
They should really try hard to accept the true value of both their worlds in order to work out their differences.
Gemini partner will start thinking of excuses to get out of any obligation imposed on them by Taurus, only to avoid hurting their feelings.
In response, Taurus will sense something is wrong and start obsessing about their partner's behavior and the things they say.

Lately I became aware of english actor Alain English and his second short youtube Video (April. 23- 2014) on the Authorship debate with his 20 question to Will., following his Panel Debate.(s.Video blog 293)
It saddens me that today's generation has not yet progressed beyond the insights of ->George G. Greenwood and others , 100 years ago
Can you tell me why all the documentsYou left behind about your life,None of them mentions your writing career?
Can you tell me why your name is never spelt'Shakespeare' on any of these documents?
Can you tell me why both your daughters grew up illiterate?
Can you tell me why we have no play-scripts, poems or even a letterWritten in your own hand?
Can you tell me why your will contains no mention of theatre,plays, books or writing equipment of any kind?
Why not you?Your fellows left behind proof that they were writers -
Why is there so little proof that you were you?
Can you tell me why none of the people who knew you in Stratford connect you with being a writer?
Why did you never even stage a play in Stratford?
Why did none of your fellow writers offer personal tributes to you while you were still alive?
Why, for a man of such exceptional talent, were you never buried in Poet's Corner?
Why did no-one say anything about you whatsoever when you died?
Why did we have to wait seven years after your death for the First Folio?
Why did the monument erected to you in Stratford not originally show you as a writer?
What was your story?
Why did you write these plays?
Why have you hidden for all these years behind someone else's name?
Why is it, according to the sonnets, you did not want to be remembered?
Were you one person, or were you many?
Should the story stay unchanged and the truth left undisturbed?
So tell us, please, we want to know - who are you William Shakespeare?
I missed an essential question to the author of "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet": Did he use pseudonyms during his lifetime , and if yes, how many?
(296) The missing question to Shakespeare: Did he use pseudonyms during his lifetime, and if yes, how many?

Happy Chinese New Year & Happy Valentine's :) Hope it's not too late to wish, but spring cleaning and feasting are on top of the priority these days.
This is my first since I got back to Malaysia, my last one was probably 3 years ago. Back then, my paternal grandparents' house in Puchong was so tiny we didn't even have enough standing room! My dad's side with his 7~ siblings and all the cousins and grandchildren would make their way to this apartment every year without fail for a great time of reunion. Save for the eldest Aunt's family who's settled in Kuantan.
Few years ago, Granma Lee was invited to move in with my youngest uncle and his wife so they could take better care of her. Their house is not considered big, but its space sure is a stark contrast to the cramped but merry little space we had back then.
When I attended my cousins' weddings last year, I managed to catch up with some of my relatives. The little kids aren't that little anymore, in fact the boys are almost the same height or taller than me. Some of the older cousins have gone overseas, whereas I have returned. The different seasons in each reminds me how time flies indeed.
Even though the maternal side of the family is less than half the size of the paternal, the family members have grown with cousin Leigh's 2 kids. I miss Granma Wong and her cooking during this time of the year; and even though I never got to say goodbye to her, her legacy remains with us. Even the picture of her in my oldest uncle's house immortalised that Hainanese beauty in her.
It's always interesting to see which facial features are inherited by which child in the family. Some are obvious just by looking at them; whereas personalities are more difficult to tell first glance. I'd like to think that usually it's the best features that get passed down; either that or people nowadays take great care in how they eat, behave and dress up!
Anyways, times like these are opportunities to catch up with relatives and friends whom we don't get to see other times of the year; in my case, trying to remember what titles by which the older relatives are called in Mandarin and Cantonese lest I incur their wrath and not receive that red packet >.<

This came from Dianne at work from a book called Super Nutricious, Incredibly Delicious Recipes. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to do so this week.
2 tsp canola oil
1 lg onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups frozen peas and carrots, thawed
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp Thai style chili sauce (optional)
1/2 cup cashews
Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and onion and saute for 3 minutes or until onion is just cooked through. Add the garlic and eggs. Stir until eggs are cooked through. Make sure to break the egg into smaller pieces. You don't want one big blob of cooked egg.
Add the rice, vegetables, soy sauce and chili sauce. Stir well.
Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes or until the veggies are heated through.
Sprinkle with cashews and serve.

The presumption relies on the claim that none of the nonemotional elements which are usually regarded as constitutive of emotional phenomenology may reasonably be considered responsible for the evaluative character of the latter. In section 1 I suggest this is true of cognitive elements, arguing that so-called 'evaluative' judgments usually result from emotional, evaluative attitudes, and should not be conflated with them. In section 2 I argue the same holds true for conative attitudes (desires and acts of the will). And in section 3 I briefly mention some salient aspects of the version of nonreductive analysis I lean toward.

*God put this on my heart to type out. God has been working hard on me and teaching me different ways to improve myself every day. I want to start a series of the many ways he is teaching and guiding me. One of these ways is teaching me how to become a good wife.*
For the past three years I have been with my Fiancé. Over these past three years I have learned so much about being in a relationship again. I'm also learning about how to love and care for someone else besides myself. After my long-term relationship for 7-8 years, I went into a selfish stage in my life. Suddenly, I didn't have to worry or care about a significant other. I didn't have to worry about making sure I was good enough for another person. All I had to worry about was being happy and good enough for myself. Then after those two years of blissful single-ism, I not only found myself moving towards being a committed relationship, but in a situation I would have never imagined in a millions years I would be in.
My fiancé is a man of courage, honor, and love. Everything he has taught me, intentional or not, has shaped my idea of what love is. From the very beginning of our dating, he let me know what his intentions with me were. Believe it or not, he let me know that he wanted a marriage and kids the very first date. I was a little surprised. I thought it was interesting how a man could KNOW that he wanted to be married and have kids at such a young age. Of course we all know that men mature at a much slower pace than us women. I didn't put too much thought into it though. As the days went by, we quickly grew closer and closer. Immediately I knew he was different.
How "honeymoon" stage came to quick end when we found out something that changed our lives forever. As quick as our infatuation took off, the cruel reality of our situation came even quicker. Our relationship was continuously put through the test. At every stage of this new journey I was expecting him to run. Every turn, every new hurdle, every disappointment, I expected to come home and see his things packed and disappear from my life forever. As luck would have it, he proved me wrong every single time. Still I would wait for that final straw to strike when he would turn to me and say "that's it, I'm done!"
To have that type of state of mind in a relationship is unhealthy. You can't build a strong relationship if you're expecting it to fail.

In school we all have had that one teacher we had a crush on. No matter how much we hated the subject or the school overall but the only thing that would make us feel like going to school in the morning was the hope that we would see them in the school. But how do you concentrate in the class when you are attracted to a teacher? Park Hyun Seo is one such teacher who students probably don't miss a single class of her. As the pictures of this South Korean lecturer are going viral, people are wondering why they are out of the school and why all the hot teachers are coming out now when they are no longer in school. Seo graduated from Busan University of Korea not long ago.She is a perfect combination of beauty and brains. Interestingly, she is also a part time model, so the students were not entirely wrong.Her alluring beauty and her hot physique will make her an instant hit in the Korean film industry, if she wishes to join the industry anytime.

The healthy drive in Gurgaon is insane and so amazing. There are new outlets coming up with a prime focus on eating healthier and leading a better lifestyle. Nuterro adds itself to the list with a gold star with cold pressed juices, power smoothies, salads, grills in addition to healthy home cooked Indian food.
'Refresh' cold pressed juice – orange, sweet lime and lemon cold pressed juice is a real thirst quencher with all the citrus flavors. Mango shake – my first of the season, the shake was absolutely satiating, I could sense a slight caramel flavor which took my heart away. Caesar salad – lettuce, chicken shards, classic Caesar salad dressing and topped with loads of parmesan. Even though I am an ardent fan of the cheese, it was a bit overpowering for the salad. Otherwise, it was pretty decent.
Parmesan chicken – spinach, corn and mushrooms stuffed in a grilled chicken breast topped with a creamy mushroom sauce accompanied by fresh, sauteed vegetables and herbed rice. Perfectly grilled chicken breast with a generous stuffing of greens and parmesan cheese. Top it with the creamy mushroom sauce for that extra zing.

Reigning It In: Contemporizing Historic Costume Design
The CW's Reign premiered this past week to mixed reviews. Some are up in arms at the extreme liberties taken with history, while others are looking past it to revel in the salacious appeal of the teenage soap opera genre for which the network is best known. The costumes of the series are raising a lot of eyebrows, and even more questions.

Product Details
- Corner and Side Stapling in a Space-Saving Design: The Optional Model PS-P61 provides corner and side-staple options to a single 10-bin QC-S Collator. The integrated design of the PS-P61 combines the cabinet for the collator and stapler together in one space-saving design. The stapler cartridge holds 5,000 staples and notifies the operator when it's empty.
- Stapling and Folding All-In-One: Connect your QC-S Collator to the MF-1 Stapler/Folder for a highly productive system that finishes sets of up to six letter-sized sheets in a letter fold, letter fold with corner staple or corner staple only format.
- High-Speed Bookletmaking Made Easy: Functional, versatile, and durable, the Model SPF-9 and Model SPF-9A Bookletmakers operate either automatically in-line with either QC-S Collating System or semi-automatically by feeding in the document set manually while in off-line mode. The SPF-9A is a fully automated set-up version of the SPF-9 that allows for push-button set-up in seconds by selecting any of the four popular preset paper sizes. It can also save time on non-standard paper sizes as it has two programmable memory settings. Both the SPF-9 and SPF-9A can staple and fold up to an 80-page booklet at speeds up to 2,100 sets per hour.
- Add Face Trimming: Increase the professional appearance of every finished book without sacrificing productivity by adding the optional in-line face trimmer. Each SPF Bookletmaker has a matching face trimmer that efficiently trims away the shingled uneven lead edges of a folded booklet to ensure the highest-quality appearance.
- Modular Design Adds Versatility: Expandable up to 3 towers, for up to 30 feed bins. The QC-S Collators and the SPF accessories offer unparalleled levels of productivity and versatility. Dual-direction feed capability in a multiple-tower system allows two different jobs to be run simultaneously. Increase productivity by producing booklets on one end while straight or offset stacking on the other. It's simple, clean, highly productive and reliable.

Standard QC-S30 10 Bin Friction Feed Collator Review
One of the fastest collating machines on the market today is the Standard QC-S30 10 Bin Friction Feed Collator. This versatile device rapidly collates hundreds of sets in no time at all. As your production needs grow, the functional design allows this machine to expand with additional pieces as needed. Here are the details of the QC-S30.
This high performance device offers simple setup and operation. A slew of features keeps everything running smoothly. The Set Calibration button calibrates the machine to detect errors from the specific set you're running. Double sheet detection works by sensing length and thickness to determine if multiple sheets have been grabbed at once. The error detection system checks for missed sheets and jams via sheet length.
The pressure on both the bins and the separators are adjustable to ensure optimal performance no matter what materials you use. Alerts for a full receiving table as well as an open transport door offer the opportunity to resolve the issue before it becomes a problem. The automatic counter offers total (ascending) and batch (descending) counting functions.
Each bin has ten towers to hold paper. Up to three bins can work together for 10, 20, and 30 page stations. Bins can hold a 1.1" thickness, which is over 200 sheets of 20lb bond. Paper can be as small as 5.5" x 6.9" up to 12" by 17". This device takes in a wide range of materials. It goes from 14lb bond up to 67lb index and includes NCR, index, and some coated stocks.
Letter size paper in sets of five can be processed as fast as 3900 sets per hour. Sets of five sheets of 11" by 17" processes as fast as 2100 sets per hour. The receiving stacker can hold just under three inches of finished products. This collator can provide you with either straight or offset stacking, whichever works better for your needs.
The QC-S30 is designed to work in conjunction with a variety of machines to provide a highly functional and versatile workstation. For simple collation, a stand frees up your work surfaces and allows the collator to be placed wherever you need. A basic stapler can attach to help you create packets and questionnaires. Folder/stapler combos aid in the production of mass mailings of multi-page letters and other send outs. Finally, you can purchase a booklet maker that staples and folds booklets as well as trims the uneven edges for a professional finish.
Standard provides a 90 day warranty on this product.
This is a high quality machine but it is heavy, weighing about 139 pounds. However, there are casters on the bottom so you'll be able to roll it around wherever you need.
It would be nice if the paper size accepted were slightly bigger to accommodate 12" by 18" paper, often a standard size for booklets. But if your office doesn't use that size paper, then this machine will work just fine for you.
As you can see from the many strengths, the QC-S30 is a full-featured machine excellent for any office. High performance in a compact design is especially important in large production businesses. This heavy duty machine can stand up to the rigorous use in production printing environment. We think this collator is an ideal addition to any office.

Let me show you how we spent our day and had fun at USS. ♥
Look how great that morning was for a theme park!!
After the 45-minute ride (since it's traffic), finally we're in USS! Hoorayyyy! :)
We were so excited that we woke up early and finished everything before the tour bus arrived.
Universal Studios Singapore is composed of 7 themed zones: Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar. We had enough time to visit each one of these and we enjoyed them all!
Charlie Chaplin
My favorite, Po! ❤ I've been dying to meet him since the Kung Fu Panda movie was released.
Woody and Winnie Woodpecker
My date for the day, Frankenstein! Hihi! :)
One of my style icons, Audrey Hepburn! ❤
I'm riding Granny Smith! :P Hihi!
Shrek and Fiona's Castle ❤
Huhu! We haven't took a photo with Pinocchio. He needed to go home na eh. :(
One of my favorite shows in USS!
Shrek's Home
Our favorite ride, we rode it for 2 times already but we still wanted for more.
Another favorite 4D ride! :) The effects are so cool!! A must try! Even my dad loved it!
Streetboys Rockafellas. They're from the Philippines! Proud to be Pinoy.
Before we went back to the hotel, we visited Candylicious first! I felt like I was Gretel for a day visiting the witch's house which is full of chocolates and sweets! Hihi! :)
It was a great theme park day, right? I really love the Hollywood and Far Far Away zones.
How about you? Which themed-zone is your favorite?

E-commerce company eBay has sold its 28.4 percent stake in Craigslist back to the online classified advertising site, ending years of legal wrangling between the two companies.
The move comes as eBay prepares to split with its online payments system PayPal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Continue Reading Below
EBay bought a stake in Craigslist in 2004. But the two companies have tussled in the legal arena. Craigslist accused eBay of using confidential information to start its own classifieds site in the U.S. in 2007.
EBay said with the repurchase, all litigation between eBay and Craigslist will be dismissed. It declined to comment further.
Craigslist posted an excerpt of eBay's statement on its blog along with an excerpt of Shakespeare's "All's Well That Ends Well," including the line "Love all, trust a few."

Action Items:
- May 29 - Watch the live broadcast of the UIC Advisory Panel meeting #1. Details HERE.
- Be ready to submit comments to the panel when public comment period and process is announced.
What is happening in Fillmore? What is an "aquifer exemption?"
Our state oil and gas regulatory office, called DOGGR, allowed an oil company to dump toxic oil field wastewater into an aquifer behind the City of Fillmore and beneath Los Padres National Forest, without proper review as required by the EPA. The aquifer is protected under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and is located next to the Sespe Condor Sanctuary, where the California Condor is making a tenuous recovery from the brink of extinction.
The EPA found DOGGR in violation of their duty and now the oil company has been forced to submit the proper application, which seeks to exempt the injection area/aquifer from the Safe Drinking Water Act.
That exemption zone, is just a few thousand feet (about ½ mile)
from the town of Fillmore's only source of water - the Fillmore/Piru Basin.
During the public review process for the exemption application, DOGGR used a boundary map of the Fillmore/Piru Basin that was 1) two years out of date and 2) showed the distance to the injection zone as 1.5 miles, rather than ½ mile according to current maps.
A hydrologist report commissioned by partner org Los Padres ForestWatch states, "...water contained in the Basal Sespe Formation [proposed injection zone] may be hydrologically connected to drainage areas northwest of Tar Creek, and may contribute flow to the Sespe Creek, an important source of recharge to the Fillmore groundwater subbasin."
That means DOGGR cannot guarantee that Fillmore's water will be protected from contamination from the oil field waste and fracking chemicals.
What is an aquifer exemption?
An aquifer is an area underground that holds water. Aquifers that could be used for drinking or irrigation (and other uses) are protected under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. An oil company can apply to remove that protection by showing the aquifer cannot ever be used for any good uses – thus exempting it from the Safe Drinking Water Act. In an agreement with the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 9, our state oil and gas regulatory office – the Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) handles aquifer exemption applications. DOGGR and the state Water Board examine the applications and technical evidence and if those two agencies "concur" a public comment period begins and then the application is submitted to Tomas Torres, Water Division Director, Region 9, Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
*The official comment period has already ended, BUT our partner, Los Padres ForestWatch has uncovered the fact that DOGGR provided inaccurate information during the public comment period. DOGGR's info showed the proposed exemption area as being over one mile mile from the Fillmore Subbasin - when in reality it is just 1/2 mile from the northern boundary of the Fillmore SubBasin.
Come to the letter writing meeting on March 6 in Fillmore to learn more,
and write a letter to DOGGR asking them to Protect Fillmore's Water.
What is happening now in the Sespe behind Fillmore?
- An oil company has applied to expand the area where it is allowed to inject oil field waste in an underground area called the Sespe Basal Formation in the canyons behind Fillmore.
- The Sespe Basal's southern edge – underground, comes within about a 1/2 mile of the Fillmore Sub-basin – the groundwater basin that supplies drinking water & irrigation (ag) water to Fillmore – currently the ONLY source of water for Fillmore.
- What is in oil field waste? produced water, which is brine water that comes up with oil and gas. That produced water can include various chemicals and compounds used in drilling including: detergents, biocides and other substances used to keep the well clean and clear and oil flowing out of the well.
- What about fracking waste? If the company receives permits for fracking in the future, injected waste would include chemicals used in fracking.
- Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery –the oil company can also inject steam and other compounds for other enhanced oil recovery processes.
1) RSVP for meeting on March 6 in Fillmore
2) Sign our petition opposing the Sespe Aquifer Exemption.
- Contact YOUR elected officials: Now call or write to your local (city, county), state and federal elected officials to let them know you want Fillmore's water protected from the hazards associated with expansion of oil waste injection in the Sespe. Ask them to send comments opposing the aquifer exemption to DOGGR and the EPA.
Here is a link to the DOGGR website with all of the aquifer exemption documents and application.
Here is the letter CFROG and partners presented to the Fillmore City Council on October 10.
Here is a recent article about oil waste injection being connected to earthquakes
Here is an article in the Santa Paula times about a well casing failure in Ventura County that DOGGR reported was due to a "seismic event."
Other Issues include:
- Seismic/Earthquake concerns
- Numerous Endangered and threatened species and over two dozen migratory birds could be impacted by increased activity including the California Condor, Steelhead trout; Coastal California Gnatcatcher; Least Bell's Vireo; Southwestern Willow Flycatcher; Arroyo Toad; California Red-legged Frog; Riverside Fairy Shrimp; Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp; California Orcutt Grass; Black Skimmer; Black Swift; Black Turnstone; Black-chinned Sparrow; Burrowing Owl; California Thrasher; Common Yellowthroat; Costa's Hummingbird; Lawrence's Goldfinch; Lewis's Woodpecker; Long-billed Curlew; Marbled Godwit; Mountain Plover; Nuttall's Woodpecker; Oak Titmouse; Red Knot; Rufous
- This expands oil waste injection into the Los Padres National Forest.
- Removing this aquifer from the protection of the Safe Drinking Water Act opens the door to fracking.
- In a world of worsening climate change, droughts are predicted to reoccur and become increasingly severe. We should not sacrifice water now that could one day be of beneficial use.

The map that that showed the location of his house was one I had copied from a book was little more than a sketch itself; the map I bought in Nanjing was in Chinese except for a few streets and sights in English. I had to hope that the streets hadn't been re-routed since 1937 as I tried to match them up. The area was looking for, what was an International Safety Zone in 1937, now abutted the sprawling campus of Nanjing University. When I got there, a few blocks from my hotel, the area was a bustling old district that probably won't survive a few more years of Chinese economic expansion. Already there were hutongs —the old dense and squalid neighborhoods surrounded by walls—nearby that were falling to the wrecker's ball to make way for the almost pre-obsolesced international style crud that is going up everywhere.
I wandered around the narrow streets looking for somebody old, quite old, until I saw a tall, white-haired man ambling along on legs that looked like parentheses. I had only a few words of Mandarin, but hoped that one word would be enough. I put myself in front of him. "Dui bu qi, zai nar Rabe." I couldn't think of the word for "house," so it sounded like I was looking for Rabe himself, who has been dead since 1949. "RAH-behr, RAH-behr," I intoned, hoping I wouldn't get a "Wo bu dong" reply.
"Ahhh, Rah-behr, RAH-behr," he said through a zillion-cigarette voice, breaking into a slight smile, and shuffling off with a little "follow me" wave. He looked back over his shoulder once: "RAH-behr?" he said, checking to see if he had understood me correctly. The streets were full of people hauling plastic bags on their morning food shopping rounds. Stalls and carts offered all sorts of vegetables, beverages, and Chinese "fast food" like crepes and those bagel-sized buns that are cooked on the inside of brick-lined metal drums. I don't think the scene was this colloquial in 1937 when this area was the site of embassies and consulates.
At the end of the block we came to a wall with a gate and walked through. The courtyard contained some people, cooking on braziers. But there stood the house. I recognized it instantly as Rabe's house, the house that in 1937 was the home of a German businessman for the German industrial company, Seimans. Were it not for the oriental railing above the porch lintel, it looked like a dwelling one might find in the Ulandstrasse in Munich. After reading his diaries and other accounts of his years in Nanking, I almost felt I was home. There was that dingy gray-brown brick, the unusual window mullions. But it seemed smaller, and more enclosed by the trees and the compound wall. There were no historical markers, and it seemed to be occupied. It had not been turned into a shrine for the man who has been called the "Schindler of China." I wondered if it would survive the onslaught of redevelopment that was taking place in Nanking, whether the University might be able to incorporate it into its sycamore-shaded campus. [1]
I imagined the courtyard filled with terrified Chinese seeking some sort of asylum over sixty years before. Outside Japanese troops were slaughtering Chinese by the tens of thousands, drunk with their conquest of the erstwhile capitol of the Kuomintang that had abandoned it. Screams and gunfire could be heard, the air was thick with the smoke from burning buildings and bodies. The most horrible atrocities went on for weeks during the end of 1937 and beginning of 1938 in what came to be called the "Rape of Nanking."
It was the home of a member of a representative of the country that was an ally of Japan, Nazi Germany, although Rabe had lived in China for some thirty years. Outraged at the atrocities Rabe was not only a leader in negotiating with the Japanese to set up an International Safety Zone for the various foreign delegations, but in directly interfering in their murderous activities by Chinese civilians and left-behind military. In one account, given by Iris Chang, Rabe, incensed by the rapes, which often ended in the murder of the woman, strapped on swastika armband and charged into a group of drunken Japanese soldiers to upbraid them and force them to surrender the woman to him. He had no more that the axis between the Nazis and the Japanese against the chance that his body might end up with the thousands of others. [2]
The irony of a Nazi who admired Hitler engaging in such selfless risk would seem to be the sort of historical stuff that merits more attention that it has received. There were many other westerners among the foreign lo wai who occupied the concession areas and eventually the Safety Zone that Rabe was instrumental in securing from the Japanese military. Many were journalists, but little as emerged from their pens. Yet Rabe is responsible for saving more than 200,000 Nankingese, and gave as many as 600 shelter in his own home and yard. There were other westerners who were responsible for saving Chinese lives. One of them, Minnie Vautrin, was an American Midwesterner who was headmistress of a women's college in Nanking and herself faced down rampaging Japanese troops, saving as many as ten-thousand Chinese. [3]
The second irony is when Rabe returned to Germany during the war. He wrote to Hitler about the atrocities, but of course, Hitler was going the Japanese more than one better with his own campaign of extermination. Rabe, a hero in China, was arrested by the Gestapo. He was a "nobody" in his own country, and died almost shilllingless of a stroke His diaries, ultimately made available by his sister, were not published until 1997. [4] To read them is to be transported back seventy years to one of the most horrific instances of man's inhumanity to man, and an act of compassion that keeps the candle of hope from guttering to its last flicker. If only the walls of Rabe House could talk; they might whisper " xie-xie ," . . . and Germans who have little to be proud of from the dark years of WWII my respond with a well-deserved " Danke ."[5]
©2006, James A. Clapp (UrbisMedia Ltd. Pub. 6.17.2006)
[1] Beside the Rape of Nanking Memorial Museum there is a small building devoted to Rabe containing a sculpture of him and documents and photos. It was recently reported in the South China Morning Post that Rabe's house is being restored by the Nanjing University and will be opened to the public as a museum..
[2] Despite his 30 years residency in China Rabe did not speak the language, relying on some pidgen and his fluency in English.

[5] Rabe may finally be getting some recognition. Reportedly there are as man as three film projects in development, one by the writer who was responsible for the HBO series, Rome.

Rays Win!
Last night a group of my co-workers went to Tropicana Field to see the Rays play the Chicago Cubs during interleague play. I have been to a few Rays game but have never seen the stadium this packed. There were Cubs fans everywhere and the cheers for the Cubs were louder than for the Rays. It was a great game until this jackass behind me spilled his beer on my back and we exchanged a few words before he was escorted out. My co-workers said they had never seen me so pissed because I am usually all smiles. In the end, the Rays beat the Cubs 3-2 in a great game. My brother in law is a die hard Cubs fan so it was nice to see my new hometown team beat the Cubbies!
Our seats were near heaven it was so packed
Peter, Kirsten, and Barbara
Shawn and me
2 Responses to "Rays Win!"
Damn those Rays. The cubs have not lost more than 2 games in a row this entire season so they better win tonight.
I did notice on ESPN that there were a ton of Cubbies which I though was comical.
You should have made it down for a game and you could have worn your Mireles Cubs jersey

A time-transient nonlinear dynamic analysis is presented to study the motion of statically unloaded journal-bearing tilting pads. The major finding is that unloaded pads can exhibit a strong sub-synchronous self-excited vibration. The frequency of this periodic motion is somewhat below half the rotational speed and bears a close relationship to self-excited oil-whip vibration of rotors on lightly loaded non-tilting pad journal bearings. The identification of this type of self-excited pad vibration has practical significance to the solution of problems in applications involving damage to unloaded pads. A comprehensive parametric study is presented and shows which tilting-pad journal bearing parameters are significant to self-excited pad vibration and its elimination.

Il Governo di Palau ha varato una legge che vieta la vendita e l'uso di prodotti solari e prodotti per la pelle che contengono uno o più componenti chimici particolarmente dannosi per l'ambiente, appartenenti a un elenco di 10 prodotti chimici. L'obiettivo è quello di proteggere le barriere coralline dell'isola del Pacifico. Entrerà in vigore nel 2020.
The government has signed a law that restricts the sale and use of sunscreen and skincare products that contain a list of ten different chemicals. Researchers believe that these ingredients are highly toxic to marine life, and can make coral more susceptible to bleaching. The ban comes into force in 2020.
In a statement, Palau's President Tommy Remengesau said the ban, which would see fines of $1,000 (£760) for retailers who violated the law, was timely. "The power to confiscate sunscreens should be enough to deter their non-commercial use, and these provisions walk a smart balance between educating tourists and scaring them away."
How do sunscreen products harm corals?
Scientists have been raising concerns about the impacts of sunscreen products on marine life for many years. They are particularly worried over the role of two ingredients called oxybenzone and octinoxate. These are used as sun protection factors as they absorb ultraviolet light.
However, they are believed to make coral more susceptible to bleaching. Research published in 2015 showed that the oxybenzone could stunt the growth of baby corals and was toxic to several different coral species in laboratory tests.
"Oxybenxzone is probably the baddest actor out of the 10 chemicals that have been banned," said Dr Craig Downs, an expert on the impacts of sunscreens on marine life.
"It causes corals to bleach at lower temperatures, and it reduces their resilience to climate change."
Dr Downs says that when there's a disastrous event like mass coral bleaching, reefs should recover over the following years. That has not been happening in many parts of the world.
"Life doesn't scramble back in where there are tourists," said Dr Downs. "The juvenile phase of coral are more susceptible to chemical pollution than adults. That's why we see these areas not coming back."
"They are coral reef zombies. Only the adults are left and it's only a matter of time before they go."
How much of a threat does sunscreen pose?
Researchers say that the biggest threat to coral reefs is climate change, with estimates that 90% of reefs will succumb to rising temperatures by 2050. The second biggest threat is the suffocating threat posed by algal blooms, triggered by the runoff of nutrients from sewage and farming. Sunscreen is now seen as one of a number of other, lesser threats including ocean acidification.
How widely used are the banned sunscreen chemicals?
It has been estimated that between 6-14,000 tonnes of sunscreen wash off people and go into reef areas every year. Researchers say that several thousand sun protection products contain the two most threatening chemicals.
Five years ago it was estimated to be in around 75% of products. Experts now say it's found in about half of creams and lotions.
Right now the US Congress is looking at legislation to ban oxybenzone, based on the threat it poses to human health.
Why Palau and why now?
Palau is located in the western part of the Pacific ocean. It is made up of one large volcanic island and several smaller coral reef associated islands. Despite its small size, it has often taken big steps in protecting the environment.
In 2015, it designated almost its entire ocean territory as a marine protected zone. Very aware of the threats of climate change, Palau became the second nation in the world after Fiji to ratify the Paris climate agreement in 2016.
When it comes to coral reefs, the island nation has largely avoided the negative impacts of extensive coastal erosion from agriculture, pollution and rampant overfishing that have affected reefs elsewhere.
The ban on sunscreen products means Palau is determined to fight any threat to the reefs, which are visited by thousands of tourists every year.
Prof Jörg Wiedenmann, who studies coral ecosystems at the University of Southampton, UK, said: "It is a sensible precaution to prevent the exposure of the vulnerable corals from the potential threats by sunscreen products in these places.
"However, reefs cannot be saved by banning sunscreens alone. There are more destructive drivers of reef decline such as sea water warming, overfishing, nutrient enrichment and pollution that need to be controlled to halt the ongoing degradation of reef ecosystems."
Has anyone else looked to ban sunscreen with these ingredients?
Yes - several regions have imposed bans, including the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean and the US state of Hawaii which passed a law earlier this year. Mexico has banned sunscreen in nature reserves.
The Palau restriction is set to be the most comprehensive yet, covering 10 chemicals. They include four that have an antimicrobial effect but have also been shown in the scientific literature to act as endocrine disruptors.
Experts say that dozens of other countries may now look to replicate the Palau ban.
Are there alternatives that don't contain these chemicals?
Yes, there are alternatives that don't include the two key chemicals that are being marketed as "reef-safe". But some scientists argue that the term is not legally enforceable, and there is no compulsion on manufacturers to demonstrate that their products don't harm coral.
Dr Craig Downs says the first line of protection against the sun should be clothing with built-in sun protection.
"From a conservation point of view, if you wear a sun shirt, you are reducing the sunscreen load by 50%. That's a major conservation victory."
Another approach would be to use mineral-based sunscreen, such as non-nanosized titanium oxide or zinc oxide.
How are sunscreen manufacturers reacting?
Many of the larger corporations are against a ban on sunscreen products, saying that the evidence of a detrimental impact on coral is not strong enough.
"The big boys are fighting it. Johnson & Johnson and L'Oreal don't seem to be on board," said Dr Downs.
"But much of the rest of the industry have already come out with what they are calling 'Hawaii-compliant sunscreen', and it is a big marketing boost for them."
A group of manufacturers have formed what they call the Safe Sunscreen Council. They welcomed the move.
"Palau's move to ban ingredients that have been know to cause damage to coral reefs is the right things to do," said Caroline Duell from the council.
"Hopefully, by Palau taking leadership on this issue, not only will they protect their sacred and economically key coral reef network, but they will show the world that it's time to change the way we think. There are many alternatives for sunscreen and personal care products that are safe, effective and enjoyable to use." (M. McGrath - BBC
