The main properties of alpaca wool:
• Warmth. Alpaca fleece is unique in that it consists of hollow cells. It demonstrates perfect insulating properties: alpaca fiber is ideal in cold weather conditions, and protects the child's body from overheating when it is warm.
• Moisture resistance. Alpaca wool is naturally breathable and does not accumulate moisture (unlike many other fibers), and allows body moisture (perspiration) to evaporate.
• Softness. Baby alpaca is attributed to the most luxurious and soft fibers, such as cashmere.
• Does not cause allergies. Unlike sheep's wool, Alpaca wool does not contain lanolin which accumulates dust and microscopic allergens. As a result, alpaca wool does not cause allergies and is suitable for baby clothing.
• Lightweight. Dressed in alpaca wool babies will feel warm and comfortable.
• Durability. This type of wool is one of the most elastic and matting resistant of all the known kinds of wool, therefore these clothes can be used not only with your present child, but also for any future children.
• Eco friendly. Apart from the natural origin of wool, this fiber does not need any special treatment. It is naturally soft and lanolin free, which is usually removed from sheep's wool using various chemical methods.
• Stain resistance. Wool is naturally stain resistant which means you won't have to wash as often.
Hand wash in cold water. Lay flat to dry.

Catnip: Why Cats Love It
Few things stimulate a cat's pleasure faster than catnip. Exposure to this simple herb can reveal a new side to their feline personality. Many cats will go crazy at the smell of this plant.
Catnip has a reputation of being a feline drug and many cat owners wonder if it is safe to give it to their pet. Giving catnip in small doses does no harm. Using it as a treat can be quite good for your cat's emotional health. It relieves stress and can help them get rid of nervous energy.
What Is Catnip?
Catnip is a type of mint plant found in many countries throughout the world. It can grow up to three feet high and has many branches filled with purple flowers and heart shaped leaves.
The catnip plant has an aromatic oil called nepetalactone. When cats smell this compound, it triggers the part of the feline brain that responds to happy pheromones. This is why cats react the way they do.
Many cats seem to go crazy when they smell catnip by rolling, rubbing and running around. Eating catnip seems to produce the opposite effect. Cats often become mellow when they ingest the plant. This response to catnip usually lasts up to 10 minutes before the cat loses interest.
Catnip as a Training Tool
Creative cat owners can use catnip as a reward or incentive to promote good behavior in their felines. Rubbing dried catnip on a scratching post or cat tree can entice your cat to go there when they need to sharpen their claws instead of tearing your couch to shreds.
Lacing a cat toy with some catnip can be beneficial for inducing an indoor cat to exercise. It will encourage them to be more active and play and prevent obesity. These cat toys should be stored in an airtight container when not in use, so the catnip stays fresh longer.
Growing Catnip
You can grow your own catnip plants in a home garden. You can buy more mature plants from a nursery or plant the seeds after the last major frost of the season. It is important to put the plant in an area where it has plenty of room to grow. Take steps to protect the growing plant from your cat so they don't tear it out of the soil before it is fully mature.

One of the reasons that I do not make yeast based breads all that often is because most recipes make a lot and it is difficult to finish it before it becomes too stale to eat. I have now found a solution to that problem, use the stale bread to make bread pudding. Bread pudding is basically bread that has been soaked in a custard base and then baked. You can use whatever type of bread that you want and you can add in whatever kinds of flavours that you want. I used the leftover pumpkin dinner rolls as the bread and I went with even more pumpkin flavour along with some spices and dried cranberries. The bread pudding was super easy to make and it was amazing! It was nice and moist and and full of pumpkin flavour. I drenched the pumpkin bread pudding in caramel sauce after it baked and it was oh so good. I can't wait to make bread pudding again.
Pumpkin Bread Pudding
- 1 1/2 cups half and half
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger (ground)
- 5 cups day old bread (cubed)
- 1 handful dried cranberries
- Mix the half and half, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, and spices in a bowl.
- Mix in the bread and cranberries and pour into a baking dish.
- Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30-40 minutes.

A U.S. satellite company's call for help in finding a missing Malaysia Airlines jet brought a strong response on the Internet, as some people hoping to pitch in are finding a website struggling to handle all the web traffic.
The company, DigitalGlobe, says it's working to fix the problem and aid the search for the airliner, which has now been missing for four days. The search area for signs of the jet was widened Tuesday.
DigitalGlobe issued a call for volunteers to sift through satellite images of waters in the Gulf of Thailand and elsewhere that were taken after flight MH370 went missing this weekend. The company is continuing to put images on its Tomnod site, which it calls a "platform for crowdsourcing satellite imagery."
The company issued this update Tuesday:
"We are working to best handle an unprecedented level of web traffic and interest in supporting the search. Please check back soon. We have new imagery collections planned for today and hope to make those images available online for the crowd as soon as possible."
Hours after the company's request for help went out Monday afternoon, the response brought "unprecedented load on our servers," the company said in an update on Twitter.
The heavy server load is understandable. The images in question are high-resolution satellite photos, and by design, multiple volunteers are given access to the same area, to ensure that the data they enter is verified. The company's call for volunteers was echoed loudly by the Reddit community, increasing interest in the project.
As of Tuesday afternoon, DigitalGlobe said it was adding new photos to widen the area that people can search. The company says it has had "an amazing response" to the crowdsource project.
The Malaysian jetliner mystery isn't the first time the satellite company has turned to the Internet for help. From Canada's CTV:
"DigitalGlobe says the Tomnod crowdsourcing platform has also been activated during natural disasters, including last November's Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The company says thousands of volunteers tagged more than 60,000 'objects of interest' spotted in satellite images after the typhoon barreled through the region."
A satellite imagery expert notes that detailed images of the Earth's surface are hard to come by. John Amos of SkyTruth tells The Washington Post, "Despite the impression that people get when they use Bing and Google Earth and Google Maps, those high-resolution images are still few and far between."
As the Two-Way reported today, the mystery of the airliner's fate has prompted other questions, as well — such as "how planes are tracked and if there are better ways to do it."

Frequently Asked Questions
Filter type, type of material being collected, concentration level, process temperature, ambient temperature, humidity level, etc. all have an effect on filter life. That being said, filters should typically be replaced every 2-6 months, depending on frequency of use.
While you could find after-market filters that will fit into our systems, we highly recommend that you use the filter media the systems were designed with. Our research and development team spends countless hours evaluating different filter media to determine the best quality, efficiency, and fit for our systems. Also, the use of after-market filters will void the warranty on your system.
That depends on the composition of the captured contaminants. Please follow your local and state regulations.
Activated carbon media in adsorption modules should be changed when noticing odor. For very light chemical vapor and intermittent applications, the activated carbon could last 6-12 months. For heavier chemical vapor removal applications, we recommend the filter media be replaced every 3-4 months. If you would like a more specific recommendation, please provide details of your specific application to one of our application specialists.
Choose an adsorption module with activated carbon for chemical fumes, gases, odors, or vapors. Choose a primary particulate filter for applications with fine particulates such as dust, smoke or mist. For applications that have both visible particulate and gaseous vapors, we offer multi-stage filter set-ups. Choose a combo filter package that consists of either a HEPA or cell filter, with an activated carbon after-filter.

Extract-All® offers a variety of filters capable of handling hundreds of different applications.

Gianni Amelio In the early 1990's, Italian director Gianni Amelio had already been hailed by international critics and audiences as a singular voice tackling relevant social dramas in the neo-realist tradition of the 1940's. Amelio travelled to Albania in 1994 to direct 'L'America', the story of a corrupt Italian businessman who discovers personal salvation in the immediate years after the fall of communism.
Upon it's release, the film further cemented Amelio's reputation garnering over a dozen awards including four prizes at the Venice Film Fesival and the coveted Felix Award for Best European Film. But in Albania 'L'America' caused considerable controversy and was denounced by many as a gross exaggeration of conditions in the country. After the film received wide distribution around the world, many Albanians came to regard L'America as furthering the kind of negative stereotype that 'Midnight Express' gave Turkey. Gianni Amelio will return to Albania to appear at this years Tirana International Film Festival for a special screening of 'L'America'. Afterwards, critics and audiences will be invited to discuss with the director the films lasting impact and its place in Albania's recent history. The TIFF is also honored to screen two of Gianni Amelio's most acclaimed films, his 1990 'Porte Aparte' (Open Doors) and the 2004 'Chiavi di Casa' (Keys to the House |

How does a center of excellence really work?
The Cincinnati Insurance Companies offers perspective
Analytics center of excellence. Business intelligence competency center. Decision analytics. No matter what you call it, a "center of excellence" serves an important role: it promotes collaboration and defines best practices for a specific focus area (in this article's context, analytics) to improve business results. But how does it really work?
In pursuit of a real-world perspective, we spoke with Brett Starr, Director of the Business Intelligence Competency Center for The Cincinnati Insurance Companies, an Ohio-based insurer that offers personal and commercial lines sold through independent agents. Starr's group is responsible for documenting and enforcing data standards, creating scorecards and dashboards, prototyping and evangelizing new advanced operational metrics, developing analytic use cases, and helping units understand and use analytics more effectively.
We asked him about developing an analytical culture, in particular, how to encourage business units to use the center for analytical help, rather than requiring them to.
What's the toughest hurdle to building an analytical culture?
I don't think it's that people don't understand analytics like you read in such books as Super Crunchers or The Numerati. They do understand. I feel the biggest hurdle is to get people to effectively collaborate, to get over the fear of relinquishing control, to reach the point where they all want to chip in and build that better mousetrap so we can evaluate performance and make better decisions.
In addition, I don't think the organization needs to have a mature data acquisition strategy to have a competency center. The center just needs to be at the point where it can provide a service. Whether you have a 100 TB warehouse or a series of small databases, a competency center can create common process and framework for intra- and extra-departmental analysis.
How do you get people at your company to come to you with analytical problems?
Make them happy. Show them that analytics is cool and make sure they feel like they're calling the shots. If I go to them and say, "Hey, I want to standardize your approach to measuring loss ratio," or, "You need a common measure of account retention," they will tell me to go away. But if I show them a cool graph and it's got these neat little widgets where they can put real-time filters on, it helps them understand their data.
This understanding encourages them to seek our team out for discussions on analysis. And that might lead to the informal creation of a Data Stewardship Group, which just happens to agree on a common measure of account retention. It's organic. It is very difficult to effectively mandate change within corporate cultures, creating true wins for everyone involved is what gets the company on board.
It sounds kind of sneaky, but really effective.
Our philosophy: Cooler is better. If I show you something cooler, you're going to use it and come ask for more.
Some of what you do has been traditionally housed in IT. How is that relationship?
There's that old adage, you go to an IT person and they say, "The business doesn't know what they want,'' and you go to a business person and they, "IT doesn't know anything.'' So the business goes off and tries to do its own work in Excel and massive Access databases – and IT creates reports and different databases that no one uses.
Our team does our best to bridge the gap and provide a service to IT by taking the ideas from the business unit and doing a lot of quality assurance and prototype work. We'll assess new data sources, for instance, and make sure they conform to the dimensions of the data warehouse. It takes a lot of tedium off the business unit's plate.
You've talked about how you bridge the gap from the IT side. How do you bridge it from the business side?
One of the frustrations from the business side is that IT might show them some data that would immediately spark a question from business. But from IT's perspective, they don't want to redo the analysis, they want to put the report into production. We streamline the gap through effective communication and effective prototyping.
What would you say has been the No. 1 success for the competency center so far?
Helping to steer the company toward common metrics. If you have a siloed or fragmented organization, internal metrics are often not consistent. As the varying metrics bubble up to the highest levels, it becomes harder to figure out where to put your resources. You can inadvertently make strategic decisions based on biased information. Overall, through a broader acceptance of common measures, we have become a more data-driven organization.

Why sell your property with United Country Real Estate? Simple. No one can locate buyers better, bringing to bear more than 90 years of marketing experience, to get you the best price in the shortest time possible.
To sell property in the country, you need more than a "For Sale" sign and a local newspaper ad. Buyers have a harder time finding your property. That's why you need the benefit of United Country's professionalism and exclusive, proven marketing tools. We expose your property locally, regionally, nationally (and even internationally) from the first day.
Leverage the largest integrated traditional and auction real estate network.
United Country specializes and is organized to serve its clients in over 20 core market segments or property types, including: small city and town residential and commercial, ranches, farms, timberland, land, resort, vacation, second home, mountain, coastal, vineyard, recreational, horse, hunting and fishing, waterfront, ski, golf and other "lifestyle" properties.
When you put your property on the market, you want to achieve the best sales price you can get, and do so within the time-frame that meets your needs. Nothing is more important to most buyers than the first impressions they receive.
PAINTING —At the top of the list for creating good impressions. Inspect interior walls as well as the exterior including trim, gutters, downspouts, mailbox, etc.
YARD —In addition to proper cutting and edging of the lawn, trim landscaping and weed flower beds. Also check for dead branches in trees and shrubbery debris. Store all outdoor lawn equipment and toys.
SPRINKLER SYSTEM —Check for defective heads and for proper water coverage over entire lawn.
FENCE —Repair where necessary and paint or stain if needed to give your yard that well-maintained appearance.
GARAGE —Check garage doors and opener to see if they are in good working order. Inspect doors for painting or staining. Remove and reorganize garage items.
DRIVEWAY —Check for grease and oil spots. When showing the property, it's best not to have vehicles parked in the driveway.
PATIO/DECK —Clean patio and arrange outdoor furniture.
POOL —Have pool sparking clean. Store equipment and chemicals out of the way.
ROOF —Check for loose shingles or broken tiles. Make sure eaves are cleared of leaves. If mildew has occurred, consider professional cleaning.
FRONT ENTRANCE —Front door should be clean and all trim painted or stained. Check doorbell and outside light to see if they are operating properly.
AIR -CONDITIONING—Certainly, the air-conditioning system must be functioning at top performance, but also check for proper draining, install a new filter, and clean exterior unit.
WALLS —When checking for cleaning and possible painting of interior walls, look closely at wallpaper for repair or replacement, if needed.
DOORS —All interior and exterior doors should be cleaned, hardware tightened and oiled for smooth opening and closing.
CARPETING AND TILE —Steam cleaning is the best answer for most carpets. While it's a hassle to rearrange furniture and be disrupted, this is one item that can't wait until after the sale. Also, repair or replace damaged tile.
WINDOWS —Repair or replace all broken windows or screens. All windows must be cleaned to show the home at its best. Check blinds and draperies for cleanliness.
ELECTRICAL —Repair all switches and outlets that are not working. Good lighting through adequate wattage in garage, hallways, and closets will brighten up your home.
PLUMBING —Leaking faucets always raise questions about plumbing. Clean stains from stainless steel sinks and check enamel for repair.
APPLIANCES —All appliances should be in good working order and CLEAN. In particular, oven and stove top, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave.
KITCHEN —A bright, cheerful kitchen is a must. Clean all surfaces, check for loose knobs or sticky drawers, clean exhaust hood and organize drawers and cabinets.
BATHROOMS —Clean mirrors, shower doors, curtains, tub caulking, and flooring. Just when you decide to clean the bathroom "later" is when the prospective buyer rings your doorbell.
It is important to gather information pertinent to your property. It will take time to coordinate this information from old bills, tax statements, work receipts, service contracts, and warranty documents, but it pays off when you sell your home. Prospective buyers ask questions about your home and property. The following questions can be expected and you should have the file of information to answer them:
Want to sell your property quickly? Certainly! When you decide to sell it, you want it done as soon and as painlessly as possible, but at the same time, you want to receive as much cash equity from the sale of your property as you think it's worth. You bought your property at its base price. You added some things immediately to provide the comforts that you were looking for; items such as blinds and custom drapes, paddle fans, a microwave and a garage door opener. These all add to the value. How about that swimming pool the family convinced you to put in? How much was it: $15,000…or was it $16,000 when you added that extra decking? Did that wallpaper in the bedrooms and kitchen cost $1,300, or did that include the blinds? Other improvements include upgraded landscaping, more trees, shrubbery and flowers, a sprinkler system, fence and a unique mailbox up front. Now that you've itemized all of your improvements, you're thinking, "How much is a new home like mine selling for now on the current market? Well, I'll take what I paid and add in all of the above improvements, include appreciation for each year and that's what I'll ask for my price."
Unfortunately, pricing your property in this manner may give it an inflated value. Your property that you're so proud of and which is worth so much to you, may just sit with a "For Sale" sign for a long period of time, with a lot of lookers but no buyers. Then, by the time seven or eight months go by, you realize that your price is too high and drop it accordingly. But now the buyers that may have been interested have bought elsewhere, the agents stop bringing prospects, it has been on the market so long it has lost its appeal, there must be something wrong with it for it not to have sold by now. You then get to the point where you're going to have to price it for less than it should sell for just to move it and get on with your life at your new location.
This can all be eliminated by logical thinking as opposed to emotional thinking. You've put blood, sweat and tears into your property. You've treated it with TLC (tender loving care) and it's been great for you and your family. Logical thoughts include: 1) The benefits and pleasures your family has already derived from these improvements for which you will not recover full value. 2) Check out the properties presently on the market in your area that you're going to compete with for sale, and their price. 3) Check the price of properties comparable to yours that sold within the last six months and determine how long they were on the market. 4) Remember, we may not have been enjoying the appreciation rate you expected over the entire period that you've owned the property.
This logical, statistical approach is used by appraisers and agents when arriving at a fair market value price for your home. Your agent should prepare the Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) using this logical approach. In doing so, you'll receive a professional estimate of value to help price your property in a sale range that will best meet your overall objectives.
The most saleable properties are those that show pride of ownership, with attention given to every detail. If you are looking to sell your home in the near future, we hope this checklist will be of assistance. Even if you're not planning to sell, it may be helpful as a checklist for spring cleaning or file away under "house papers" for future reference.
TEMPERATURE —Keep your home at a comfortable temperature. Air-conditioning is a must on warm days.
FRESH AIR —Keep air smelling fresh. Air freshener, candles or fresh flowers are nice, but don't over - do it.
LIGHT —Have sufficient lighting. If it's daytime, have draperies drawn open. In the evening, turn on the lights prior to showing. Light makes rooms look larger and more appealing.
MUSIC —Soft music can be nice, but loud radios, stereos, or television should be off during the buyers' inspection.
VALUABLES —Having valuable possessions displayed in your home is only inviting trouble. They're best placed out of sign, or out of the home.
CLOSETS —Clothes hung properly; and if used for a storage area, clean out. Of most buyers' requirements, closet space is high on their list.
LAUNDRY —Keep fresh towels and washcloths displayed. Laundry should be done often to keep laundry area clean and fresh.
EXCLUSIONS —Remove or replace items you do not intend to include in the sale. Sure enough, the one item that you wanted to take with you (such as a certain lighting fixture) is just the item the buyers want to include – causing a delay in the negotiation process.
TRASH REMOVAL —All t
Discuss with our agent what items you'll need to bring to the closing. While certain items will be helpful to the agent to have when putting your property up for sale, prior to closing, confirm any additional items necessary for you to bring to the closing.
KEYS —Gather all keys for the house, garage, doors, etc. Soon you will need to turn these over to the new owner.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS —All manuals and warranties should be kept in one place. These include instructions for the air-conditioning and heating equipment, all appliances, water heater, garage door opener, pool equipment, etc.
UTILITY BILLS —Have copies made of the previous 12 months of utility bills and a monthly average of each utility estimated for the prospective buyer.
HAZARD INSURANCE —Keep fire and extended coverage insurance on the property through the closing date or date of possession, whichever is specified in the contract. Please note that the "contents" portion of your policy may be inadequate during transit of household goods to the new home. Moving companies' liability could be inadequate. You could make the cancellation date of your previous policy the same as the effective date of your new policy.
EXISTING MORTGAGE —Have existing loan information and payment book available.
TAXES —Copy of most recent tax statement.
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION —Provide information regarding Homeowners Association and/or Restrictive Covenants.
FLOOR PLAN/SURVEY —Check real estate papers for availability of house floor plan and copy of previous survey.
LEASES —Provide the agent with a copy of any existing lease agreements currently in effect.
Even if your move is within the same general area, there are several actions that can expedite the procedure.
rash and garbage should be removed from the home and garage. Open containers are unsightly as well as giving off odors.
PETS —Try to keep pets outside during a home inspection.
AGENTS —Turn your house over to the agent for showings. Trust their professional abilities. All showings should be scheduled and documented through the listing agent/office.
PEOPLE —While all prospective buyers must be accompanied through the home, family and guests should leave when possible to allow the agent to show the home without the buyer feeling hurried. Should you be present during the showing, remain in the background. The agent should know your property and the needs of the prospective buyer and be able to answer any questions.
DON'T APOLOGIZE —Remember not to apologize for the appearance of your home. If you've done the best you can, buyers understand that they may be viewing the home at a time that may be inconvenient to you.
PICK UP EVERYWHERE —Keep clutter off counter tops, disregard old newspapers and magazines, remove excess furniture.

I have to say that I am enjoying the extra bit of time given by my mom cooking some dinners while I can work on the usual, the new and/or the collaborated. Spring has me "springing" but as I proofread I am also in the "oh my God this is not good enough" phase….forgive my freaking out!!! Fortunately mom is here to bring my sanity back with a bowl of warm soup, a piece of cake or her delicious ratatouille.
It's not often you see or will see again a savory recipe on this site but when I asked mom what she wanted to make for a guest post, she immediately replied "Je pourrais faire ma ratatouille!" (I could make my ratatouille!). "Pourquoi pas une tarte ou un gateau plutot?" (why not a tart or cake instead?). She admitted being more of savory cook than a baker and made me blush by saying that she already uses my recipes for baking so no need for a redo. But after a little nudging from you guys, we are also going to make a tart before they leave and we will do it completely together.
Indeed, for the ratatouille, I pretty much shot the veggies in their raw and cooked form while she did everything else. I went to teach a class and when I came back the house was foggy with the wonderful smells of her ratatouille. A whiff of it is enough to let my mind wander home. There is no particular or nostalgic moment associated with it. She made it everyweek. I grew up on it like others do on collard greens or lasagna. It's us. It's simple. It's home. I keep telling her that hers is special. It's mom's. It's good.
I wanted her to write about it with her own words but she left me the duty instead (I guess too busy playing cards with B. and my dad!). Mom will be the first one to tell you that every cook in Provence (where the dish is said to have originated) and in the world has a different recipe for it and a different method of cooking. She laughs out loud when she hears other cooks complain "did you see how he makes his ratatouille? Heresy!" She says the only heresy would be to cook something that you end up not eating.
She was told by reference cookbooks back in the day that "the" ratatouille recipe was made with each vegetable cooked separately then all added together then braised. Mom does what most homecook does: cooks all the vegetable in layers in one pan. As I was writing quantities down for this post she came over my shoulder and said "the only rule I follow from those old stuffy book is to add the vegetables in the pan by alphabetical order. That's important". Ah well, yes mom, but that does not work from French to English! The spices also can be different from household to household. Ours traditionally include thyme, parsley, oregano, a pinch of lavender and basil and some "Quatre Epices". I ran out of the first and last one for the photo shoot but they did make it to the finished dish.
Mom also added "tell you readers that I have no diploma in ratatouille making. This is simply the one that has been handed down from generation to generation in the family. I would not want to sound presumptuous about such a simple dish". How sweet can she be?!! I should warn you that we like ours on the soft and stewy side and it's not really the best thing for a beauty shot but I hope the pictures did mom's version justice.
Here is what I love about ratatouille, hers, mine and all the other ones in between: it can be a side dish, a bruschetta topping, a main meal with a fried egg on top (known as piperade), or a vegetarian meal with a sprinkle of parmesan or Gruyere. It makes a lot and that's perfect for a gathering of friends. So without further ado…
Mom's Ratatouille:
1 medium onion (peeled and diced)
1 eggplant (peeled every other strip and diced)
3-4 zucchini (peeled every other strip and diced)
1 red bell pepper (we used orange because no red ones at the farmers market)
1 green bell pepper
4 tomatoes
1 can good quality tomatoes (we used one 14oz can of fire roasted tomatoes)
5 garlic cloves (we like ours unpeeled and whole but some don't…do as you prefer)
Herbes de Provence
Or a mix of thyme, parsley, oregano, lavender, all spice and a pinch of basil
salt and pepper to taste
extra virgin olive oil
In a large saute pan set over medium (and I mean the largest you have that you can put a lid on), sautee the onion in a bit of olive oil until translucid. Add the diced eggplant and sautee until it becomes golden in color. Add a dash more olive oil and add the zucchini, then the peppers, tomaotoes and canned tomatoes. Add the whole unpeeled garlic cloves, the spices, salt and pepper. Do not stir. Cover with a lid and let stew for aout 15 minutes. At this point the vegetables will have reduced a bit in volume from cooking and you will have room to stir and mix the herbs with the rest of the ingredients in the pan. Turn the heat down to medium low and simmer for at least 30 to 40 minutes. Uncover and let simmer 20 to 30 minutes on low until most of the cooking liquid has evaporated.
Et Voila…

We highlight the main principles involved in the dismissal of employees including some common mistakes that employers make. If you are an employer in the Newark area we, at Chesapeake Associates Ltd, can provide you with assistance or any additional information required.
There have been many changes to employment law and regulations in the last few years. A key area is the freedom or lack of freedom to dismiss an employee.
An employee's employment can be terminated at any time but unless the dismissal is fair the employer may be found guilty of unfair dismissal by an Employment Tribunal.
In November 2011, the qualifying period for unfair dismissal increased from one to two years continuous service. However, there is no length of service requirement in relation to 'automatically unfair grounds'.
We set out below the main principles involved concerning the dismissal of employees including some common mistakes that employers make. We have written this factsheet in an accessible and understandable way but some of the issues may be very complicated.
Professional advice should be sought before any action is taken.
Reasons for a fair dismissal would include the following matters:
Upon completion of the required qualifying period, employees can make a claim to an Employment Tribunal for unfair dismissal within three months of the date of the dismissal and if an employee can prove that he/she has been pressured to resign by the employer he/she has the same right to claim unfair dismissal or constructive dismissal.
In addition to the increase in qualifying period, the government has also introduced plans for details of claims to be submitted to ACAS where the parties will be offered pre-tribunal conciliation before proceeding to a Tribunal. However, there is no obligation of either party to take it up.
There are two levels of claim, depending on the complexity of the case. There is the straightforward claim where there is one claim per claimant or the more complex multiple claims (including unfair dismissal and discrimination claims).
If the claim proceeds to Tribunal and the employee wins his/her case the Tribunal can choose one of three remedies which are:
If the dismissal is demonstrated as being due to any of the following it will be deemed to be unfair regardless of the length of service:
The Employment Act 2008 introduced the ACAS Code of Practice which saw a change to the way employers deal with problems at work. It also saw the removal of 'automatic unfair dismissal' related to failure to follow procedures. Tribunals may make an adjustment of up to 25% of any award, where they feel the employer has unreasonably failed to follow the guidance set out in the ACAS Code.
The ACAS Code of Practice sets out the procedures to be followed before an employer dismisses or imposes a significant sanction on an employee such as demotion, loss of seniority or loss of pay.
The ACAS Code does not apply to redundancy or expiry of a fixed term contract.
There may be some very limited cases where despite the fact that an employer has dismissed an employee immediately without a meeting, an Employment Tribunal will very exceptionally find the dismissal to be fair. This is not explained in the regulations but may apply in cases of serious misconduct leading to dismissal without notice. What this means in practice awaits the test of case law.
The only occasions where employers are not required to follow the ACAS Code of Practice are as follows:
For many the regulations have caused some confusion and practical difficulties. Some of the most common mistakes include:
If you are an employer in the Newark area we will be more than happy to provide you with assistance or any additional information required on dismissal procedures so please do contact us at Chesapeake Associates Ltd.

"Why would he prefer Georgia to Alabama, given the choice? Georgia has a better in-state talent base, and Georgia has proven it will hire a black head basketball coach."Grant's agent, UGA alum Mark Carmony of Career Sports and Entertainment, was rumored to have informally asked that Grant be considered as part of UGA's search if the job had opened up last year.
Let's back up. Who is Anthony Grant?
Grant was Billy Donovan's top assistant from 1994 at Marshall thru 2006 at Florida. He is currently in his third year as the head coach at Virginia Commonwealth where he is 67-20 overall and 39-7 in his league. In his first two seasons, he won his conference's regular season title; however, he only made the NCAA tourney once after his squad lost the Colonial League Conference Championship game in Year 2.
He is best known for beating the 6th seeded Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA Tourney in Year 1. He was also widely speculated to be Billy Donovan's successor at Florida if Billy had taken the Orlando Magic job.
While in Gainesville, the Gators and Grant landed:
- 1 National Title
2 Final Fours
2 SEC Tournament Championships
2 SEC Regular Season Championships
3 SEC East Titles
Dozens of obscenely talented players
The biggest knock on his resume right now is the lack of longevity, and he's only won a single NCAA Tourney game. I will say that's one more NCAA Tourney games than Dennis Felton has won in 10+ years as a head coach, but Felton isn't the measuring stick for the next hire.
The other concern with Grant...the Duke win came with players recruited by Jeff Capel, Oklahoma's coach.
Regardless, Scarbinsky's article is interesting. Pat Forde of ESPN lists the other high-major conference jobs that may open this season. It gives you a sense for who UGA may be competing with.

Strawberry Tea Bread - Sweet Cheeks Winery
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...We have in our community a winery with a most unusual name. Before that can be shared, I must describe, as best I can, the property on which the winery sits. The acreage is bisected by a service road that cuts through the two rounded hillsides on which the grapes are grown. A contingent of locals insisted the property resembled a well-rounded derriere and conspired to have the winery named Sweet Cheeks. It worked. Now this kind of nonsense can't be plucked from the ether. Every word of this is true. I swear. I'm going to resist jokes about "bottom lands" and instead send those of you who would like to know more about the winery or my veracity here. Now, it is perfectly logical to ask why I bothered to tell you about the winery at all. It's also reasonable to ask what it has to do with a strawberry tea bread. So, here's how we got from there to here. I had promised to bring four loaves of this bread to a meeting this morning. I was in such a rush to finish the breads that I misjudged the distance between oven racks and, as a result, the bottom loaves baked into the racks above them. Bob thought the crease that developed in the two bottom loaves was a lot funnier than was actually the case and dubbed my loaves Sweet Cheeks Strawberry Bread. Those who are fond of European tea breads that are less sweet than their American counterparts will love this bread. If you are accustomed to a really sweet strawberry bread, you might want to take a pass on this. I'll let you judge for yourselves. Here's the recipe.
Strawberry Tea Bread...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Taste of Home magazine
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted, divided use
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
2) In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well.
3) Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Batter will be thick. Fold in strawberries and 1/2 cup nuts.
4) Scrape into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle top with reserved 1/4 cup walnuts. Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf.

Dear Mary - I could not stop laughing as I read your post. What wonderful writing!
I LOVE TEA breads - I am such an anglophile I confess :) Your tea bread is straight up my alley. So the next time I am looking for a strawberry bread I know where to come.

Mary, we do like the less sweet tea breads (my husband is from Europe (Poland)) and these are the "sweet" breads he remembers from his childhood. I will serve this one along with the accompanying "hoot" of a story!! Andrew went to boarding school in England and loves the idea of tea. He, however, hates anything with tapioca as an ingredient. He and his classmates called the frequent tapioca desserts "frog eyes" in a cup!

About Our Thermoplastic Rubber Castors 3360 Series
A range of grey rubber castors that have been specifically designed to prevent the rubber wheel separating off under heavy loads. The innovative Thermoplastic Rubber Wheels are bonded as opposed to being pressed onto their wheel centres. This means the rubber tyres do not shear off under pressure, they continue to carry heavy loads, available in a range of sizes and are competitively priced... Read More-

Thermoplastic Rubber Directional Lock 3360 Series
From £36.90 £30.75
How to measure your Castors
1. Measure the Wheel Diameter – the bigger the wheel the easier it is to move!
2. Choose the Castor Type - either Top Plate, Bolt Hole or Threaded Stem.
This is all about how you want to fix your castor to your unit, and how much weight each castor is expected to carry.
3. Fixing Dimensions
Measure your top plate dimensions, in order to match any replacement castors. Alternatively measure your bolt dimesions or your threaded stem size. Also measure your fixing bolt size (D1) as we can supply fixing bolts and nuts. In order to measure thread size, simply measure the diameter of the thread, 8mm diameter equates to an M8 thread.
Top Plate Castors are fixed to your unit by 4 fixing bolts per castor, supplied sepeartely. Bolt Hole castors can attach either by using a threaded bolt or a tubular adaptor. Threaded Stem Castors are supplied with a stem that can screw into your equpment.
Top Tip! Attaching castors into round and square tube can be achieved by using bolt hole castors and castor tube adaptors.
We have a variety of sizes both in the round and square tubular expanding adaptor fittings and these can be found on our Accessories page. In order to choose the correct adaptor for your hollow tube, please follow the following steps
- Is your hollow tubular leg round or square?
- Measure the internal diameter of your hollow tube
- Choose the expander fitting with the range of internal diameters to suit your tube.
Round Expander To Suit Internal Diam. RangeItem Code | Item Code |
18mm - 19.5mm | R-18 |
19.5mm - 21.7mm | R-20 |
21.7mm - 24.5mm | R-22 |
24.5mm - 27mm | R-25 |
27mm - 29.5mm | R-27 |
29.5mm - 32mm | R-30 |
Square Expander To Suit Internal Diam. Range | Item Code |
20mm -22mm | S-20 |
22mm - 25mm | S-22 |
25mm - 28mm | S-25 |
29mm - 32mm | S-29 |
36mm - 38mm | S-36 |
4. Choose your Wheel material
Top Tip! General rule of thumb is soft wheels on hard floors and hard wheels on soft floor surfaces. Soft wheels are rubber, and hard wheels are nylon and polyurethane. Pneumatics and puncture proof wheels are ideal for outdoor applications. For more information on wheels, take a look at our Wheel Measurement Section.
5. Castor Configuration -Swivel, Fixed or Braked Castors
Swivel with Brake
Bolt Hole Castors - are available as a swivel and swivel with brake versions only
Swivel with Brake
Top Tip! The following configurations are the most popular
- Four Swivel Castors - for the maximum manoeuvrability, but may be difficult to control on a straight run and not ideal for very heavy loads.
- Two Swivel Castors and Two Fixed Castors - the most popular configuration as it provides the best control coupled with manoeuvrability.
- Two Swivel Castors with Brakes and Two Fixed Castors- again the most popular option as it gives good control and manoeuvrability, and allows the items to be locked into a specific location as required.
6. Check the Load Capacities – for a 4 castor trolley
Having an understanding of the weight you want the castors to support and move is a vital consideration! Use the following calculation
Max Load each castor needs to carry = (unit weight + max extra load) ÷3
Top tip! Dividing your total load by 3 allows for a margin of safety, and this will give you the maximum each castor can carry in a safe working environment, allowing for uneven floor surfaces.
7 . Other Considerations that may affect your choice?
Swivel Radius - The distance from the centre of the castor head fitting to the outside of the wheel. This measurement enables you to ensure you have enough clearance for the complete castor to rotate, without being fouled. It is important to take this into consideration when deciding where to attach the castor. Please note braked castors have slightly larger swivel radiuses, as a result of the foot brake mechanisms.
Floor Surfaces - All our stated load ratings for our castor ranges are based upon the assumption that the floor surface is reasonably level. Any obstructions, ridges, cracks or dirt will affect the load rating and efficiency of the castors. Careful consideration of Wheel Type in your castors is important and discussed in more detail below.
Health & Safety - All our castors are designed for low speed applications, and power towing castors are available upon special request. It is important to select the right castor for the job, to protect against manual handling injuries.
Bearings - Choosing castors and wheels with bearings, makes them easier to move, however in certain outdoor and offshore environments standard bearings may cease. Call us for information on stainless steel bearings.
Temperature - We offer a specialist range of Temperature Resistant castors that can withstand high temperatures in ovens, kilns and foundries. These castors can also withstand low temperatures such as in freezers and outdoor environments.
How to Measure Wheels
Choosing the right wheels applies to your castor selection and also if you just want to purchase any of our wheels. Choosing the right wheel for the job can make such a difference. To simplify your wheel selection we have highlighted a number of factors for you to consider
1. Wheel Diameter – the larger the wheel the easier it is to move and the more weight it can carry. Measure the diameter of the wheel from outside edge to outside edge.
2. Hub Bore – is the diameter of the hole at the centre of the wheel is an important measurement. To double check you can measure the diameter of your axle and the measurements should be the same. This does vary in different wheels and the hub bore can be reduced to suit your application with the addition of bearings, or collars and tubes. Please have a look at our accessories page for more information on reducing the hub bore diameter.
3. Wheel Load Capacity – all of our wheels have been tested and are able to carry the specified load capacities. Look for the symbol. Weight bearing abilities can be affected by floor surfaces and amount of use overtime. Overloading wheels will cause them to fail!
4. Tread Width – is the width of the wheel that touches the floor surface. Different types of wheel have differing tread widths. Wide tread wheels are ideal for outdoor environments.
5. Hub Length – this is the width of the hub bore , and can be measured as the width of the centre of the wheel. Getting the right hub length is important, because if you purchase a wheel with the hub bore being too small the wheel will wobble on the axle. If the hub length is too big it won't fit onto your axle. All our wheels that fit our castors are designed to suit and delivered ready assembled to you, so you don't have to worry!
6. Wheel Type – Wheels can be simply categorised into 2 types, soft tread wheels and hard tread wheels. The general principle is hard tread wheels on softer floor surfaces, and soft tread wheels on harder floor surfaces. This principle reduces the rolling tractive resistance and makes the wheels easier to move.
7. Hard Tread Wheels – such as Nylon Wheels, Polypropylene Wheels, Phenolic High Temperature Wheels and Cast Iron Wheels are easiest to manoeuvre, as they have a lower rolling resistance against the floor surface. They are durable, strong and long lasting, depending upon their application. They can at times be considered to be noisy and can damage some floor surfaces. But these hard tread wheels remain our best sellers for every day applications.
8. Soft Tread Wheels – such as Solid Rubber Wheels, Pneumatic Rubber Wheels, High Temperature Rubber Wheels and Polyurethane Wheels. Soft Tread Wheels are generally kinder to the floor surfaces, make less noise and some are even non marking rubber wheels. Polyurethane wheels tend to sit in-between the two types of wheels, as they have a hard nylon, cast iron or aluminium centre with a softer polyurethane tyre bonded on. This makes the polyurethane wheels some of the most versatile wheels in the range.
9. High Temperature Wheels – we offer a range of hard tread phenolic resin temperature resistant wheels along with a soft tread high temperature rubber wheels.
10. Bearings – there are a number of bearings to choose from depending upon your wheel type, load ratings and application.
Plain Bearings – Wheels with no bearings
Roller Bearings – A bearing collar containing needle roller bearings, often the most common and well used bearings. Most suitable for medium duty applications, making the wheel easier to move.
Ball Journal Bearings & Tapered Roller Bearings – precision bearings, for heavier load applications
Stainless Steel Bearings – are also available for outdoor environments and food manufacturing plants.
How to Measure Wheelbarrow Wheels
If you find yourself in a situation where your wheelbarrow wheels or trolley wheels are suffering from corrosion or perhaps have picked up a puncture along the way, then there are cheaper solutions than simply replacing the wheelbarrow. Replacing the wheelbarrow wheel or finding a puncture proof replacement are much simpler and cost effective solutions. But it's not always easy finding the exact replacement wheel that is going to work for your situation.
That's why we've put together this quick and easy guide to choosing the right wheelbarrow wheels or trolley wheels for your situation, saving you both time and money. Simply walk through this list of key measurements noting down the measurements at each stage and then use those measurements when browsing the Ross Castors range of wheels. If you get stuck at any point or need some expert advice for your situation you can call us on 0116 276 4987.
Overall Diameter of the Wheel
What is the overall diameter of the wheel? (From outside edge to outside edge)
Diameter of the Hub Bore
The hole in the middle of the wheel, the Hub Bore, what diameter is this?
The Hub Length
What is the hub length?
This measurementis the width of the hole running through the centre of the wheel. Handy Tip! Stick your pencil through the hole in the middle of the wheel and measure how far it goes through!
Bearings or No Bearings?
We can offer you wheelbarrow wheels and trolley wheels with or without bearings, with plastic wheel centres or metal, and even a range of puncture proof wheels to suit your requirements.

For expert advice and customer service, call us on 0116 276 4987.
How to measure Tube Inserts, Treaded Inserts, Plastic Caps and Ferrules
Our tube fittings measurements are based on 2 key factors.
1. External Tube Diameter - Measure the EXTERNAL DIAMETER of your tube
2. Tube wall thickness - Measure Tube wall thickness = Outside Diameter – Internal Diameter
All our range of round inserts, square tube caps and rectangular inserts are designed to fit flush with your hollow tube. Each insert has side fins that will retract to ensure a tight snug fit. For popular sizes we can offer plastic inserts to suit varying tube wall thicknesses.
Tube wall thicknesses can sometimes be described as a Gauge . The following Gauge table indicates the tube wall thickness and corresponding gauge number.
Tube Wall Thickness | Gauge |
0.91mm | 20 |
1.01mm | 19 |
1.21mm | 18 |
1.42mm | 17 |
1.62mm | 16 |
1.82mm | 15 |
2.03mm | 14 |
2.33mm | 13 |
2.64mm | 12 |
2.94mm | 11 |
3.25mm | 10 |
3.65mm | 9 |
4.06mm | 8 |
4.47mm | 7 |
4.87mm | 6 |
5.38mm | 5 |
5.89mm | 4 |
So if you can measure your external tube diameter dimensions and have your tube wall thickness, we can offer you a plastic insert and plastic caps to suit your application.
The same dimensions are required for our rod and wire end tips, plastic ferrules, rubber ferrules and rubber bungs. Bolt and Nut Caps are measured on the thread diameter, which equates to a standard hexagonal head size. Threaded tube inserts measurements are the same principal as blanking plugs, which are external tube diameter and tube wall thickness.
We offer a range of imperial and metric sizes of tube fittings, so if you are unsure of your size, measure as best you can and we will offer you the nearest options for you.
If you would like a free sample of our tube fittings to test, please contact us and we would be happy to arrange this for you
How to choose the correct Adjustable Feet, Levelling Feet and Conveyor Feet?

Adjustable levelling feet, tilting levelling feet and conveyor feet are a range of height adjusters that are available with a variety of base diameters and thread sizes and lengths. We can offer large ranges of rigid feet, tilting feet, stainless steel feet and conveyor feet with zinc plated threads or stainless steel threads.
3 Key Levelling Feet Measurements
1. Base Diameter
2. Thread Size ( M6,M8,M10,M12,M16 )
3. Thread Length
For easy attachment adjustable feet can be treaded into a range of metal components, threaded inserts or threaded weld on plates. We also offer side mounting brackets for rigid feet with extra-long threaded adjustable feet.
Threaded Metal Components – we offer a range of Weld on Nuts, Tee Nuts and Threaded wood inserts, which are ideal for M6, M8 and M10 adjustable feet. Just match up the thread size with the metal component. Tee Nuts and Wood Inserts are ideally used on MDF and solid wood. Pilot holes would need to be drilled for the wood insert.
Threaded Inserts - Threaded Inserts are the ideal way to attach height adjusters, conveyor feet and levelling feet into hollow tubular legs. In order to match the correct threaded insert with the correct adjustable foot, just match the thread sizes, either M6, M8,M10, M12 & M16. We offer a range of round, square and rectangular economy and heavy duty styles.
Stainless Steel Weld on Plates – are ideal for stainless steel conveyor feet and are offered in a range of thread sizes and diameters.
How to Measure Hand wheels, Thumbscrews, Ballknobs and T Grips
There are 2 key measurements you need to check?
- 1. Is it Male or Female Thread
- 2. What's the Thread Size ( M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M16 )
Male or Female Thread
Handwheels, Thumb Screws, T Grips and clamping handles are chosen by weather they have a male or female thread.
Male Thread
Female Thread
Thread Size
Our Handwheels, Thumb Screws, T Grips and clamping handles come with a range of thread diameters from M5 up to M16.
How to choose the correct Handgrips?
In order to choose the correct handgrip, it is important to measure the external diameter of the tube or handlebar the grip is going onto. We offer handgrips from 12.5mm ( ½") up to 32mm (1.1/4"). As a check you could measure the internal diameter of the handgrip and the two measurements should be the same. We offer economy up to heavy duty handgrips, and one of the most popular styles in the natural rubber handgrip version.
Handle Grip
Choosing the Right Kenda Tyre
What weight do you need your Kenda tyres to carry, and at what top speed?
The Kenda range uses a code system to help you to identify which tyres are right for your needs. Each tyre has a number that tells you what weight it can support, and a letter that tells you the maximum speed that the tyre can move at when carrying that weight.
Below are two tables that show the maximum loads and maximum speeds of the Kenda tyre range. You will find these codes in the product descriptions. Use the below tables to determine the load/speed rating of that particular tyre.
For example, 30C would be a tyre that can carry 106kg at a maximum speed of 60kmph/37mph.
About Our Thermoplastic Rubber Castors 3360 Series
A range of grey rubber castors that have been specifically designed to prevent the rubber wheel separating off under heavy loads. The innovative Thermoplastic Rubber Wheels are bonded as opposed to being pressed onto their wheel centres. This means the rubber tyres do not shear off under pressure, they continue to carry heavy loads, available in a range of sizes and are competitively priced compared to standard grey rubber castors! These grey rubber castors are designed to not mark floors, making them ideal in a variety of applications. Thermoplastic Rubber is a mix of polymers to create a substance that has properties of both rubbery materials and plastic materials. The Thermoplastic rubber has the ability to stretch and absorb irregularities such as uneven floors, like a rubber wheel, however, has the added strength of a plastic material that can be chemically bonded to another surface! So if rubber wheels that shear off are your problem, these Thermoplastic castors are your answer!
