NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Crude futures prices fell below $31 a barrel in after-hours trading Wednesday, following late news that the U.S. has accepted bids for the 30 million barrels of crude oil it will release from the nation's petroleum reserves.
In evening trading, crude oil for November delivery shed 73 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $30.70 a barrel.
Late Wednesday, the Energy Department said it successfully swapped the 30 million barrels of reserve crude with 11 refiners, according to Bridge News.
On Sept. 22, President Clinton authorized the release of the oil from the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve in an effort to ease tight heating-oil supplies for the winter season.
Under the agreements, the companies will return more than 31.5 million barrels of oil to replenish the reserve in 2001.
Crude, gasoline supplies on the rise
Ahead of the news on Wednesday, crude-oil futures prices closed lower after two key U.S. petroleum reports confirmed a rise in last week's crude and gasoline inventories, but provided mixed data on distillate supplies.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, November crude fell 64 cents to close at $31.43 per barrel. November gasoline futures declined by 3.2 cents to 84.85 cents a gallon, while November heating oil fell 0.01 cent to 96.34 cents a gallon.
November natural gas fell 5.8 cents to $5.29 per million British thermal units. See full story.
Oil shares followed suit, with the oil service index falling to its lowest level in a week.
"This week's inventory data have been watched especially closely by market observers as they were looking for some impact of increased crude production by OPEC on inventories," Thorsten Fischer, an economist at Economy.com, said in a weekly note.
"The increase in crude oil stocks and motor (gasoline) has indeed materialized and will have an easing effect on prices," he said.
After the market closed Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute reported that crude-oil supplies rose 3.4 million barrels as of the week ended Sept. 29.
The Energy Department reported a smaller 1.1 million-barrel rise early Wednesday.
Analysts surveyed by Bridge News had forecast a rise of 2.3 million to 2.7 million barrels.
Imports of crude oil into the U.S. also rose by 41,000 barrels per day week-to-week to 9.28 million barrels per day, according to Christopher Stavros, an analyst at PaineWebber. "This could be a sign that at least some of the incremental barrels from gradual increases in OPEC output are finally reaching U.S. shores," he said in a research note.
"We believe it is also a sign of seasonally slower U.S. refined product demand," he added.
Last week's gasoline inventories jumped 5.2 million barrels, according to the API, compared to Bridge News-polled analyst expectations for a rise of 200,000 barrels to 400,000 barrels. The Energy Department said stocks rose 5 million barrels.
Distillate supplies, which include much-needed heating oil for the winter season, climbed 336,000 barrels, according to the API, but fell 700,000 barrels, according to the Energy Department. Expectations were for a rise of 900,000 barrels to 1.2 million barrels.
Meanwhile, refinery production rates remained unchanged from the prior week's 94.4 percent of capacity, the API said.
Oil stocks fall
Oil service shares slipped to their lowest level since Sept. 25, following the increase in crude and gasoline inventories.
The Philadelphia Oil Service Index OSX, -0.79% fell 4.2 percent as shares of Halliburton HAL, -0.37% slipped $3.38 to settle at $46.25.
The CBOE Oil Index OIX, -3.40% also fell 2 percent. Shares of Occidental Petroleum OXY, -0.30% shed $1.13 to $21.06.
Natural gas sinks after supply update
Natural gas futures prices dropped after the American Gas Association said last week's inventories rose more than expected.
November natural gas fell 5.8 cents to $5.29 per million British thermal units on Nymex.
The AGA reported a 78 billion-cubic-foot increase in U.S. natural gas stocks as of the week ended Sept. 29.
Analysts surveyed by Bridge News, on average, predicted that last week's inventories rose between 60 billion and 70 billion cubic feet.
Total supplies of 2,480 billion cubic feet are now 407 billion cubic feet, or 14.1 percent, below the year-ago level.
A year ago, supplies rose 62 billion, according to New York-based IFR Pegasus.

Are you thinking about a career as a nurse?
Healthcare is forecasted to become one of the fastest-growing careers through the next decade and nurses make up the majority of the workers in the healthcare field.
Considering that our population is increasing, especially the older age brackets, and the amount of trained nurses is not keeping pace with this growth, many experts are actually projecting a lack of qualified nurses in the future.
Nurses possess some amount of flexibility concerning how much formal schooling they take on, when and where they work, and what specialized type of healthcare they perform.
While most students commit two to four years training to become a nurse, individuals can get up and running in this field after finishing only one year of school.
And since everyone will need healthcare sooner or later, healthcare specialists can choose to work anywhere there are prospective patients -- in a big city such as Atlanta or in a small town, wherever there is a suitable facility.
Because individuals may need medical care anytime during the day or night, there exists a need for nurses to be at work at all hours of the day. While some folks don't prefer this fact, other individuals benefit from the flexibility they have in selecting to be on the job nights or weekends or just just a few longer shifts each week.
There are more than 100 different healthcare specializations for professionals to pick from. A large percentage of nurses are employed at clinics, hospitals, doctors offices and outpatient services. But others find jobs in other locations, such as home-based medical care, elderly care or extended care facilities, universities, correctional facilities or in the military.
It can be easy for nurses to switch jobs during their careers. They're able to effortlessly switch from one location to another location or adjust their speciality or they can register for further training and move up in patient responsibilities or into a management opportunity.
Nursing isn't right for most people. It can be a difficult and stressful job. Nearly all medical staff put in a 40-hour week and these hours can include evenings, Saturdays, Sundays and even holidays. The majority of medical workers need to stand for long periods of time and carry out some physical effort including enabling patients to stand, walk around or get moved in bed.
One method that a number of potential nursing students use to find out if they have the right qualities to become a nurse is to volunteer at a medical center, physician's office or elderly care facility to see what this kind of employment may be like.
Licensed Practical Nurse
A licensed vocational nurse (LVN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN), offers basic nursing attention. Almost all states call these medical professionals LPNs, but in a couple of states they are referred to as LVNs. They function within the oversight of doctors, rn's and other staff.
In order to become an LPN, someone must finish an approved educational training program and successfully pass a licensing test. The formal training curriculum usually takes a year to finish.
Registered Nurse
A registered nurse (RN) is a considerable step up from an LPN. Most RNs have successfully received either an associates degree in nursing, a bachelors degree in nursing, or a certificate of completion from a professional teaching program such as through a hospital training program or through a military services ROTC instruction program. Graduates also need to pass the national certification test in order to become licensed.
The Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree usually takes roughly two years and qualifies a person to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
The Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) ordinarily demands four years of university study and also qualifies students to take the NCLEX-RN. A bachelor's degree may help prepare individuals for possible supervisory job opportunities down the road. Students that currently have a bachelors degree in another field may sign up for a Post-Baccalaureate, Second Degree BSN or Accelerated BSN program.
Some participating hospitals could have a two-year preparation program. These programs are generally coordinated with a regional school where actual classroom study is provided. Successful completion will result in attempting the NCLEX-RN.
The United States Military services also delivers opportunities via ROTC sessions at a handful of schools. These kinds of programs may take two to four years to finish and they also result in taking the NCLEX-RN.
Master of Science in Nursing
A Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) may well be a solid prerequisite to a future coordinator or Nurse Educator job. Earning a graduate diploma may present nearly limitless career opportunities. Various schools might alternatively name their graduate programs either a MS in Nursing (MS) or a Master of Nursing (MN). Fundamentally, all three are comparable qualifications with merely different names.
A MSN can be earned by individuals through a couple of different paths.
Students who already possess a BSN may usually get through their MSN in one or two years of classes at a university or school. Students who have a bachelor's diploma in a subject other than nursing can also earn a MSN either through a direct entry or accelerated MSN program. This kind of graduate program will award you with credits for your undergraduate diploma.
Some educational institutions also offer a RN to MSN plan for students who just have an associate diploma to accompany their RN standing. An RN to master's degree program is commonly a two or three year undertaking. Individuals entering into this category of program will have to get through various general education classes in addition to their key courses.
Students who earn a master's degree can go on and go after a doctorate degree if they choose to. A graduate degree may help prepare professionals for future advanced careers in supervision, research, coaching, or continuing primary patient care. Students may move into positions of Clinical Nurse Leaders, nurse supervisors, clinical teachers, health policy consultants, research associates, community health nurses, and in various other capacities.
Advanced Practice Registered Nurses
The Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) delivers preventive, primary, and specialized care in ambulatory and acute treatment settings.
There are four primary segments of APRNs:
1. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) make up the biggest share of this group. NPs provide original and continuing care, which can include determining medical history; administering a physical examination or other medical analysis; and diagnosing, treating, and keeping track of patients. An NP could work autonomously in areas such as pediatrics, geriatrics, family practice, or women's medical care.
2. Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) provide primary healthcare services, but include obstetric and gynecologic care, childbirth and newborn care. Primary and preventive care form the large majority of patient visits to CNMs.
3. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) deliver anesthesia care. CRNAs are usually the single anesthesia suppliers in numerous non-urban medical centers and hospitals.
4. Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) center on specific categories or groups, such as critical care, community health or adult health issues. A CNS may be working on disease management, advancement of well being, or avoidance of sickness and reduction of risk behaviors among individuals, groups and communities.
Students must finish one of these accredited graduate programs, pass the national accreditation test, and receive their license to perform in one of these functions. The doctoral diploma is starting to be the standard for preparing APRNs.
Clinical Nurse Leaders
A Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) enters into a master's degree program to further find out how to supervise the care balance of patients. These graduates continue to offer direct care services, but with better clinical wisdom and staff leadership.
Doctor of Nursing Practice
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is intended for professionals wanting the greatest standard of preparation.
Common undergraduate healthcare degree course topics may include:
• Anatomy
• Psychiatric Emotional Health Nursing
• Oncology
• Physiology
• Emergency Treatment
• Concepts of Forensic Nursing
• Basics in Pathophysiology
• Motherhood and Newborn Attention
• Pediatrics and Acute Care of Young Children

Austin, Texas - United States
I create a specific world that is complete in its multi-layering of dimensional textures. The work is in the rhythm created through my cultural feeling and experiences within the Mayan world, timed with the past and the present. One aspect of my textured work explores the aesthetic of visual abstraction. Up close each painting is created with cont-graphite, oil, eco-friendly latex paint and mud on canvas which presents real nature and true potential, allowing it to crack and flow. There is a clear connection between my paintings and the concepts of shape, color and balance. Yet, I feel that the most important connection is with the dimension of time. I hope that time "the past and the present" is experienced within the mind and body of the viewer.

Operation ENDOSCOPE PARLAY – Google Docs
Operation ENDOSCOPE PARLAY
Good morning. As you are all aware, spell-casting using anagrams was the go-to occult discipline of the Seventeenth Century AD, and continued to retain some nostalgic popularity until the first half of the Nineteenth. Unfortunately, with the rise of modern linguistics the power available to linguistic magic skyrocketed, with typically horrific results. The dirty war conducted between rival magical circles of semioticists need not be reviewed here: suffice it to say that the extermination of the last holdout Fascist and Soviet deep-penetration doomsday linguistic cults in 1953 was a close-run thing. Sufficiently so that the esoteric world's subsequent tacit abandonment of Latin was deemed regrettable, but necessary in order to prevent future breakdowns in language, perception, and local space-time.

Ordinary voices: Findings from a Bohra online poll
A majority of the respondents said they were 'spiritually pained' when the dispute over succession broke out in the open. They talked about 'spiritual paralysis and betrayal', writes Manoj Nair.ht view Updated: Sep 12, 2014 18:44 IST
A majority of the respondents said they were 'spiritually pained' when the dispute over succession broke out in the open. They talked about 'spiritual paralysis and betrayal'.
The survey asked the Mumineen, the term the community uses when they talk about themselves, about their social environment after the death of their leader and the dispute. The 20 questions covered some of the most important sources of debate in the community. One issue is that of Misaaq, the oath of allegiance to the Syedna. Every Bohra undergoes this sacrament. Of the respondents who had not, nearly a quarter said they would do so reluctantly or because they felt they had no other choice, even though some objected to it on moral grounds.
Another issue that was discussed was excommunication of members. Only 3% of the survey respondents said they had no problems ostracising or socially boycotting fellow Bohras.
A fifth of the respondents said they were 'absolutely sure' that Mufaddal Saifuddin, the son of the last leader, is the rightful successor. A little less than a fifth said his uncle Khuzaima Qutbuddin should be the successor. One of every four respondents said it did not matter who the rightful successor is.
Among the respondents were a small group of former Bohras who l eft the community for various reasons, including excommunication. Of those who identified themselves as Bohras , a significant 12% said they stayed in the community out of 'fear'.
One of the limitations of the study, the survey evaluators said, was their inability to reach out to those who do not use computers. Other community issues, like the allegations of female genital mutilation, were kept out of the survey because it was felt that this was not an appropriate subject to raise at this stage.
The survey was conducted through a portal that offers respondents t he greatest anonymity possible. "Even if people came to me to ask about the identity of the respondents I would not be able to reveal anything because the portal has no IP," says Farida.

text: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 Inventory Forecasting Techniques That Drive Value Your inventory forecasting techniques may be meeting required service levels, but at what cost? Excessive inventory levels, distribution centers bursting at the seams, and it still feels like the inventory that provides the largest margin contribution is still not properly aligned with demand. Balancing supply with demand and predicting future revenue so that there isn't wasted product taking up valuable space is a challenge. Sonia Viramontes, FIDELITONE's Director of Supply Chain Management talks about how to conduct effective inventory forecasting. When applied correctly, her methodologies can save you big, sometimes up to a 20% reduction in inventory value. Rules For Cost-Effective Inventory Forecasting The first rule: understand that every business and customer segment is different. There's no way to provide universal numbers that work for everyone, but there is a general formula. Sonia finds success by working backwards from clients' goals. The second rule: understand that inventory means capital. You don't want to invest too much or too little. Techniques That Don't Work IN SETTING GOALS The number one mistake Sonia sees in inventory forecasting for service parts is aiming for 100% fill rate. This number is just plain unrealistic because there are way too many variables and resources are not unlimited. Not setting realistic goals leads to: Tied-up capital Spending unnecessary money on low-value SKUs and not enough on high-value ones IN MANAGING YOUR SUPPLIERS Another common mistake is reacting to drops in service levels with the assumption that the fault lies in the amount of inventory on-hand. Sonia often sees supply chain managers immediately order more inventory to combat decreased service levels. This indicates poor supplier management, a pitfall that can make a temporary problem turn long-term (or even permanent). Techniques to Use Instead IN SETTING GOALS Instead of looking at what you have available and aiming for 100% delivery for everything, start by finding your backorder tolerance and calculate inventory needed in reverse from there. In other words, plan for a 3% back order rate while consistently delivering a 97% first day fill rate. This is different for every industry and individual business. For example, service parts for AC units in the southern United States have very low backorder tolerance. By not filling these orders quickly, you stand losing the orders and potentially the customers. Other inventory, such as easily-replaced fasteners, low-value items or items that are low in demand, do not have to be as readily in-stock. Once you determine your backorder tolerances, stock inventory accordingly. Ideally, this should reflect the 80/20 theory: your top 20% of SKUs make up 80% of your revenue. IN MANAGING YOUR SUPPLIERS Another way to reduce costs is to transfer some of those costs and, therefore, risk to your suppliers. Evaluate the effectiveness, responsiveness and reliability of your suppliers. If they are consistently reliable, reduce your on-hand inventory of their items. If their end of the supply chain isn't performing, increase your forecasting lead time to reflect their unreliable performance. This is how you avoid overreaction to decreases in service levels. Inventory Forecasting Costs You Shouldn't Skimp On It's tempting to cut out costs that don't immediately return on your investment. That being said, there are 2 costs that Sonia identifies as completely necessary regardless of industry because they can end up saving you more. DATA COLLECTION You need to align your business with your customers' needs and that means continually collecting and analyzing data to better understand them. In this day and age, you should absolutely not be collecting data by hand and should instead invest in technology. The easiest way to do that is to find a supply chain partner that offers inventory forecasting services so that the responsibility and overhead of inventory forecasting software is transferred to their team. REGULAR EVALUATIONS Sonia recommends daily evaluations, weekly at minimum. Instead of relying on only past orders or currently placed orders, use the data you're collecting to regularly assess your services. Not doing this is like driving down the highway without ever looking at your dashboard. You can adjust to evolving trends with agility and accuracy by constantly evaluating your inventory and entire supply chain. When to Expect Results Making an adjustment to your inventory forecasting techniques to better manage your inventory dollars may take time, but is worth it in the end. The best rule of thumb to manage your expectations is to look at inventory with your shortest lead time. That is where you'll first see any effects, and you'll know your new strategy is working. From there, your other segments will change based proportionally on your new average. The results could deliver as much as a 20% reduction in inventory value. Other Cost-Saving Inventory Forecasting Tips Don't get stuck on hard settings-- switch to dynamic variables in order to react to new data Don't waste time on clerical or administrative tasks-- make use of automation Inventory forecasting should take both service level and profitability into consideration so that both customer loyalty and bottom line are improved Transfer more cost and risk to trustworthy suppliers by making use of their dropship capabilities Properly managing your inventory is more nuanced than having 100% of your products on-hand. In order to control costs, employ these techniques and tips as they make sense for your specific business. For further reading, see an example of these techniques in action.

Review by Scott Yanow
After attending an annual boogie-woogie concert organized by Mark Braun (Mr. B.), Monty Alexander headed a recording project that paid tribute to both boogie-woogie and spirituals. Five pianists participated, performing two numbers apiece, with four of the players (all but Alexander) playing a pair of duets. Alexander, Eric Reed, and Johnny O'Neal are better known nationally than Bob Seeley and Mark Braun, but all five pianists fare well, stretching beyond boogie-woogie and spirituals to include a few swing standards and even a bluish duet on Benny Golson's "Whisper Not." Recommended to boogie-woogie fans and the curious.
Five exceptional pianists join forces for an unforgettable evening of stomping boogie-woogie and soulful gospel music. As heard in these performances, both boogie-woogie and gospel are intricately linked. Both can light up a room, warm the heart, and stir emotions like nothing else.
Five phenomenal pianists show how close boogie-woogie is to gospel music, united as they are by a common directness and passion. Anyone who saw the movie Ray will remember the scene where Ray Charles and Art Tatum play a piano duet and come to the same conclusion. Johnny O'Neal played Tatum, and boogie is his speciality. In his hands, and in those of contemporary masters Bob Seeley and Mark Braun, the venerable idiom comes ferociously to life. It's hard to believe that one pair of hands can create such power and drive. - The Observer (UK)

In the Beaufort Delta region of the Northwest Territories, experts are coming up with a plan to track the beluga whale. By tagging the whales they hope to gain insight on the whales' diets and where they travel and when. The project is set to start in summer 2018 and will last a minimum of two years.
The process for this project started late last year when members of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), the Fisheries Joint Management Committee, and the Inuvialuit Game Council started consultations with the entire Inuvialuit Settlement Region about the project. This marks the first time so many consultations about the beluga whale have been held.
Researchers hope to learn more about where the whales travel and to find out the impact of shipping on the belugas. If they know where they are traveling then they can create corridors to be avoided as well as establishing speed limits. Officials say one of the biggest concerns is how shipping effects the beluga whale.
Another reason for the tagging program is to understand more about the whales' diet. In 2014, harvested belugas had a changed fatty acid composition, which means their food sources changed. That year they had a very diverse diet. Usually, a beluga whale has a diet mainly composed of arctic cod.
With information from tagged whales, experts can also start planning an aerial survey to estimate population numbers. The last aerial survey on record was done in 1992, so it's time for an updated estimate on beluga whale numbers.

I've never been to a tea party. I don't even drink tea at all (except maybe iced tea) so when I got an invite for Cebu Marriott Hotel's Tea Party, I immediately wanted to join. First, I could bring Reiko with me and it would serve as our bonding time. Second, I'm actually writing content about tea (and coffee) for my client's website so I thought it would be cool to experience what I've been reading for quite some time now.
All photos were taken using my mobile phone, Oppo F1s. Since the lighting was so dreammyyyy, it wasn't exactly very bright for photo sesh but I got some decent photos. ;)
The event was a Pre-Mother's Day afternoon tea party with Image and Etiquette Professional, Ms. Pauli Antoine of Etiquette de Manille. It was a delightful afternoon of learning internationally accepted table manners, social graces, as well as poise and etiquette to guide the parents and kids through daily social interactions such as during a children's party, a business lunch, a formal dance, or dinner.
Ms. Pauli Antoine, is the President of Etiquette de Manille and Red Archon. She is the skilled craft smith behind the portrayals of fashion and business and political icons. She is a regular columnist of F&B World Magazine, and a contributor of Food Magazine, Asian Dragon, and Smart Parenting. Check her out here.
*Reiko & I, with Ms. Pauli Antoine
Although I didn't expect anything grand from the event, I knew it would be because Cebu Marriott Hotel is one of the best in Cebu! I was right - it was indeed a grand and dreamy kind of afternoon. A few weeks back, I wrote about tea etiquette on my client's website and I was so thrilled to experience an actual party and learning about tea etiquette first-hand. I really enjoyed it because I saw that Reiko enjoyed it too!
The table arrangement was lit!
I really wanted to bring home these geometric candle holders. Lol
And of course, we loved the food so much! It was my first time to drink warm green tea. Ever since I started reading about tea, I've learned so much about its health benefits, plus its caffeine content is not like that of coffee that'll make you dizzy (or at least in my case).
To my surprise, Reiko loved the warm tea too! I have to put up the video real soon because he was the one mostly talking. ♥
Reiko & I had an amazing time learning (and eating & drinking, lol). I was also with one of my blogger friends, Jhanis of The Missus V - in case you don't know that she has a new blog.
*Hello Mr. Photobomber ;)
Thank you so much to Cebu Marriott Hotel in collaboration with Dilmah Tea, and Etiquette de Manille for having us. To learn more about Etiquette de Manille, you may check their Facebook page.
And to all moms in the world, Happy Mother's Day everyday. These flowers are for you. Whatever happens, know that we're all in this entire motherhood thing together! ♥

Goat Days was published to acclaim in Malayalam and became a bestseller. One of the brilliant new talents of Malayalam literature, Benyamin's tender telling transforms this strange and bitter comedy of Najeeb s life in the desert into a universal tale of loneliness and alienation.
Najeeb's dearest wish is to work in the Gulf and earn enough money to send back home. He seldom realized the pay he had to incur to fulfill his dreams, a series of incidents, grim and absurd, landed him as a slave-like existence herding goats in the middle of the Saudi desert.
In the end, the lonely young man contrives a hazardous scheme to escape his desert prison.
GOAT DAYS -It's original Malayalam title is AADUJEEVITHAM. This grate novel was published in Malayalam on 2008 by BENYAMIN. He also won the KERALA LITERACY ACADEMY AWARD for this extraordinary writing. And the English translation of the novel for Penguin Book is done by Dr. Joseph Koyippally.
Benyamin was born in the year 1971, in Kerala, with the birth name Benny Daniel. He has been writing for various Malayalam publications since the age of 20. He moved to the Kingdom of Bahrain in 1992.


text: Well, QRP Afield 2007 has come and gone. As is customary, our merry little band assembled on Friday afternoon to begin the journey to our campsite for this year's event. Dave NK0E, John N0HJ, and Steve N0MHQ made up our group this year. Steve N0TU, a regular for these events, was enjoying retired life by hitting the trail for a five-day venture with his goats and his brother-in-law and couldn't join us this year. Our destination was once again along the Ute Creek Trail in the Lost Creek Wilderness west of Colorado Springs. This area is absolutely perfect for such adventures. It's easily accessible, not far from water, but yet secluded and sparsely traveled. We can reach the trailhead in an hour and a half from Colorado Springs, the roads to the trailhead are good, and we can reach our campsite in less than an hour's hike from the trailhead. Yet, we have *never* seen another hiker near our campsite (and I've camped in this area at least eight times over the years).

Rider loses it during 100 mph wheelie
by Maxx Biker, on
Those of you who have always wanted to do a high speed wheelie won't be inspired by this video!
This biker actually achieves a long distance wheelie at speeds in excess of 95 mph, but loses control after passing along a group of riders watching him. Amazingly, the helmet-cam that he used didn't end up in flying pieces allowing us to actually see the crash through the rider's perspective.
P.S. Don't laugh when seeing this rider making sure that all his fingers are in place because it's a miracle they actually are.

The Wayne Youle installation is also a part of this project.

As part of Pātaka's collection store upgrade project, we've asked Titahi Bay-born artist Wayne Youle to create an installation that responds to our collection and highlights some of the objects he believes are significant to museum collecting and the history of Porirua.
Wayne's art work will investigate and compare objects – looking at their physical properties like size, weight and material whilst also exploring the intangible side – their value, their stories and their significance. Wayne's colourful and sometimes humorous art offers a new and exciting perspective on Pātaka's collections.

I have been critical of Olympia's urban development (or lack thereof ) on this blog. The reason is during my tenure on the planning commission—which by the way will apparently be reduced to nine members going forward—I concluded that people in this community are completely ambivalent if not hostile to the idea in the first place.
For example, density is a scary word in the land use concept in this town. It was often used as a code word for developments like the proposed Larida Passage which featured luxury condominium towers on the isthmus parcels Furthermore, the description "Small Town Feel" was the single most used term to describe what Olympians wanted to maintain in Comprehensive Plan Update. There are a thousand ways to contextualize that description but it appeared to me that usually it meant the kind of growth that TRPC envisioned was not desirable. (In my less generous moments, I figure it means that Olympians want free parking and conveniently motorized accessibility, from one sector of the town to the next.)
On the other hand, people also voiced a strong desire for a sustainable Olympia with most of the "green" components that entailed (e.g. less oil on the supply chain, local food production, and neighborhood developments that allow for a variety of transportation options like walking and cycling).
This is the talk and it was as healthy an exercise in community outreach as I have experienced since living in Olympia. There was no dividing line between the for-the-proposal or against-the-proposal crowds as is so typical in a land use actions. Instead, people were encouraged to articulate their aspirations about the future of their city, which naturally assumes that they think about these aspirations prior to writing them out.
If in fact we can draw conclusions from our stated desires, are those reflective of what we really want? Most of the time, I don't believe our actions and words are consistent. In a context like land use, I think we have to look at general social trends to determine what we really want. In our economic system, market viability is the determining factor rather than what we say we want. (Do we really think McDonald's is gross, and do we really care about poorly paid workers producing our consumables?) A condominium developer will not develop a parcel because people in Olympia write her letters asking for downtown housing, but if they send in a deposit on a new unit–I guarantee you–the proposal will be in front of the commercial credit department of every single bank in the state. That's just the way it works.
If this piece on the Port's potential acquisition near the Farmer's Market is any indication, Olympia is not moving closer to our stated desire, but we can at least comfort ourselves with the notion that we're getting what we actually want (more parking):
Note also that Parcel 605 just to the south is part of the concept. From The Olympian:
Port executive director Ed Galligan said his agency is interested in acquiring additional parking space near the farmers market to meet changing needs in the city's north downtown.
"We really need parking for the farmers market and development down there," Galligan said. "We've been shifting vendors back and forth down there every time a situation comes up.''
Galligan said the larger of the two parcels on Northeast Washington Street would be resold immediately to LOTT Clean Water Alliance for storage tanks to handle overflows during storms at its stormwater and sewer treatment facility. The preliminary purchase agreement lists the value of the latter parcel at $550,000.
The port's property deal has been kept a bit under wraps, but Galligan said the port's interest in the properties has been publicly known for years. A staff presentation to the Olympia Port Commission is planned Monday.
A long-term possibility for one or both of the parcels could be a parking structure. Galligan said there also has been interest – going back as far as five years – in developing the Fish and Wildlife property in such a way. One vision, which drew private developers' interest before the recent economic downturn, would have put retail shops on the street level and parking on upper floors, Galligan said.
On the other hand, the city presents the stated-desire as an alternative which of course doesn't necessarily need to answer to market dynamics in considering these kinds of projects:
The state has a third Fish and Wildlife parcel along Capitol Way in downtown Olympia that contains offices still in use. Olympia City Manager Steve Hall says the city doesn't have money at this time to purchase that $1.5 million lot and building, but it is seeking a grant from the Department of Ecology to explore the environmental conditions at the site for a possible future purchase.
"It's a really important piece of property in our downtown's redevelopment,'' Hall said, suggesting the city could potentially team up with a private developer to get a housing project going. "Our ideal is a mixed-use development with some market-rate housing and some retail – probably ground-floor retail.''
Let's assume that we get both more parking, perhaps even a parking garage next to the Farmer's Market as well as the mixed use project nearby. I'd call this attempting to have one's cake and eat it too. It's impossible to mitigate the problems associated with excessive auto-use by building more capacity for it any more than one loses weight by wearing larger clothing sizes. With more parking capacity, we simply encourage more people to drive. This altogether makes a mixed-use building next door less desirable (and perhaps even less financially viable) because the entire concept of a mixed use development that includes housing depends on favorable urban amenities that make living in the development more–or at least as–interesting as in a spacious house from which you can easily drive to the Farmer's Market anyway. Thus spoke Olympia's ambivalence.
So what do you want to see happen to the parcel, and more importantly, do you know anyone ready to move in if the city's ideal is realized on that third parcel?

We arrived in Aguas Calientes after a funny train trip from Ollentaytambo. The funny thing about it was that staff on the train put up this fashion show to sell jumpers. Well, only in Peru, I guess:) Aguas Calientes is the town at the base of the famous ancient city; Machu Picchu (see the last photo at the end of this post). We arrived midday and it gave us the opportunity to eat at Govinda's twice.
Is your rubbish organico or inorganico?
Govinda Vegetarian Restaurant is loacated on a side road leading into the Plaza de Armas, not far from the Hot Springs.
Like most Govindas, they mostly serve Indian food and is vegan-friendly. However, because they are catering for tourists, it is possible to see some Peruvian and international dishes on the menu. Mock meat made of soy is commonly used. Peruvian dishes that are made with quinoa are ever so interesting. They also do breakfast.
We ate at Govinda's twice while we were there. After having Lomo Saltado Montado in Lima, we thought it would be worth trying their version. Their version had rice, soy meat, fried potatoes, tomatoes and spinach served with fried bananas (20 soles).
The other dish we tried there was called Segundo de Verduras Especial (15 soles) which is rice with potatoes, soy meat and vegetables. This was recommended by our waiter; Anthony. I also remember trying sauteed vegetables and fresh herbs which was a light and vibrant dish.
Must warn you, the service is very slow as the food is prepared fresh -by the owner, appearently using Ayurvedic principles. Anyway, it is worth waiting for.

This gorgeous living room is set up around the enclosed fireplace. The Victorian look creates the perfect space to not have a TV. This living room is simply just a couch and a coffee table in the corner of a room. This is setup to look out the large windows at the beautiful scenery around your home.
While banishing clutter might help a smaller living room feel more open, if you're a fan of the cosy, lived-in look such a pared back scheme will do little for you. But small doesn't have to mean bare and characterless. Try the classic combination of dark leather armchair and traditional fireplace – there's nothing like it for creating a warm, cosy environment. Add much-loved items and accessories – in an interesting, character-filled scheme, no one will be thinking about how small the room is.

Rural broadband issue frustrating businesses
Clare woman Louise McGuane returned to Kilrush three years ago after 20 years working abroad, learning that coming back to Ireland has its challenges.
Taking over the family farm, she founded The Chapel Gate Irish Whiskey Company. But broadband proved an unwelcome obstacle.
The internet is vital for Louise's business. She even thought of relocating her office to Limerick city or Shannon due to the unpredictable and frustrating coverage.
She said: "Anytime you do any kind of shipment you have to account for everything. All that's done via a very specific online system.
"It is not possible for me to move any alcohol without registering all of it online with the Revenue Commissioners.
"So that's effectively the reason why it's impossible for me not to have broadband here, I just wouldn't be able to function.
"Broadband is the most basic of requirements now. It's like electricity was in the 1950s," she added.
Louise took the decision to install three satellite broadband receivers, at a high cost.
Clare County Council says it has taken concerns from locals, like Louise, on board.
The council will open three new digital hubs on Friday where people will able to rent desk space with high-speed broadband.
Urban McMahon, Broadband Officer with the council, said the council sees these hubs as an "intervention measure" to give those in Co Clare access to facilities while waiting for the National Broadband Plan to come through.
He said the idea came from the council's 2017 Rural Development Strategy and concerns from locals about the absence of broadband and facilities with suitable broadband built into them.
He said: "It is connecting communities. We will cater for the business person, the home user, the holiday maker. We will cater particularly for the commuter."
The Government has said its plan to connect over a half a million rural homes and businesses to high-speed internet hasn't changed.
A spokesperson for Minister for Communications Denis Naughten told RTÉ's Morning Ireland that 90% of the country will have access by 2020.
Until then, business people like Louise will have to wait.

Oh beautiful ginger Crisis Manager, I sure hope this isn't the last we see of you and Neens! This week is all about babies, weddings and that ending made my jaw drop (no spoilers I promise). I'm keen to see how a half medieval wedding looks and more importantly: what will Nina wear to it?! If only they had asked Elvis to be the bridesmaid so that he could keep that sweet
But let's not get too far into that, it's time to tuck into the 3 looks we have been granted by the Offspring gods and see how to DIY:
1. Heartfelt
It was so sad to see Nina's moment of feeling left behind when little Zoe went to daycare for the first time but her Mum-chic look was totally on point (so why even be sad anyway). The culottes are back and I think they are really working this time, paired with a white shirt with red floral details and a belt at the waist to give her a great shape. The simple dark jacket contrasts off the white shirt and the blue scarf ties in with the culottes to make this an easy look that stands out for the right reasons.
We've put this look together with our Khaki Layer Jacket, Pearl Feenix Shirt, Blue Inca Print Scarf, Silver Multistrand Necklace, Brown Plait Wrap Belt and Blue Ripple Culottes.
2. Celebration CasualWe didn't get to see much of this second look but that green scarf definitely stuck in my memory! The token Nina trench coat and gold drop earrings are a major feature here but we also get a glimpse of something new with the combination of a khaki blouse and thicker chain gold necklace. While the tones of this look are more urban and grungy, the cut and quality of each of these pieces makes for more a sophisticated aesthetic.
We've put this look together with our Olive Queenie Top, GoldDome Drop Earrings, Gold Double Ball Necklace, Green Print Silk Scarf and Mid Rise Blue Denim Jeans.
3.Goodbye Gold
While I don't want to believe that we won't get to see more of Nina's newest crush, I can't imagine a cuter look for saying goodbye. Here we see Nina wearing her brightest piece yet for the season, a layered floral and green top that refers back to the style choices of previous seasons. This draped top works best with slim jeans and here we see Nina in a pair of old-faithfuls with her trusty knee high brown boots. Finished with a pair of detailed gold drop earrings and a longer gold necklace, this look is a beautiful mix of past and new season styling (this is probably my favourite throughout the season so far).
We've put this look together with our Pearl Theodora Blouse, Cream Botanic Drape Blouse, Ink Abby Jeans, Crystal Loop Necklace and Amber Circle Drop Earrings.
