Countdown to Christmas
Are you ready yet? Have you suffered the humiliation of being pounded in the buttocks by the granny behind you, eager for that last piece of plastic crap for dear Jason? There's only 67 days to go! Aaaaah! Or not. You see the sensible among us ie those under 40 with a sense of the technical use this 'ere internet. Last year I was proud, I stood up!, to have not stepped into one single, solitary shop for a present. It helped that the wife got most of it admittedly but not even her presents were shoplifted or purloined from the high street.
Where might this technological time-saver go next? Could we order own funeral on our death-bed? Might one just log-on during fornication to get the ever needed mornig after pill? Time can only tell and I wish it would for my body clock is ticking and time is running out.
Tick-tick-tick....life is running past. Not jogging, not walking but sprinting like Linford Christie on a souped up pimping bling mobile, with go zoooooooooooooooom stripes. Next year I may be dead and then I wouldn't get to find out what the frig Lost is all about and THAT is my biggest regret. Not that I'd leave my grieving widow (she'd better grieve!!) for I'd be dead and wouldn't know what state she's got herself in but we put so much time and effort into watching these things, if we died before the climax, like so many pensioners, what would be the point of it all? There, that's my big guide to life - make sure you see the end of any TV programs you're following or books you're reading otherwise your life has been pointless. That's deep that is.

FERGUS, Ont. -- On Oct. 28, the directors and staff of the Fergus Truck Show presented cheques totalling $45,986.50...
FERGUS, Ont. — On Oct. 28, the directors and staff of the Fergus Truck Show presented cheques totalling $45,986.50 to 25 area groups who assisted at this year's event. The groups, which were made up of more than 1,100 volunteers, worked a combined total of 6,569.5 hours. The donation brings the total raised by the Fergus Truck Show for community groups and Fergus Recreation to more than $645,000.
"As the planning started for the past show, the economy was starting to show signs of weakness in the trucking industry it didn't take long for past sponsors to start withdrawing their financial support for the show," said Wayne Billings, chief operating officer of the Fergus show. "Before long we were down $100,000 in sponsorship. A new planning strategy was put into place as we knew that to make up this huge loss. We put together the best entertainment schedule in the Fergus Truck Show history to attract more spectators."
That entertainment included performers April Wine, Kim Mitchell and David Wilcox, a demolition derby and the Trucking Trucking For Wishes Family Amusement Area, which complemented the show n' shine and trade show.
"The support of all Fergus Truck Show co-sponsors, the truck and tractor pull sponsors, the individual award sponsors, the equipment and service suppliers, spectators and participants allows the show to grow, to promote the trucking industry and Canadian music, and assists local groups in fund raising. We truly appreciate the support of all," said show president, Don Watson.
Plans are currently underway for the 24th annual instalment of the show to be held July 23-26. For more information, call 866-526-7379 or visit www.fergustruckshow.com.

Can someone help me set up my email account. Do you need to contact your sevice provider for a password or is it you email password? also does some one have all the setting for a btopenworld emial account?
hi. is it easy to download music from ur pc onto the d500. do u need to buy anything extra to do this.
I just purchased a D500 i would like to know by anyone. There is a rumour going around that the phone was manufactured with a fault is this true? and where on the phone is the usb port?Thanks, no matter what i love my phone its so cool.
this phone is great, i am proud to own a d500 samsung i would recommend it to anyone that is in the market for a mob'e
Does anyone know if you have bluetooth on - and you receive a call - can you hear the personal that is calling you or does the line go dead?
ie. does the cellphone have to have bluetooth off
to receive calls?
how to set up email on this cellphone? ppl say to get another line from an isp - and you have to be on contract?
please brief me about what is needed pop3 settings?
hi all
Question 1
When I click Messages/Outbox - the messages
that I have saved - tells me who I sent the messages to , but doesn't say when it was sent - is that correct? or is something wrong with my cellphone?
Question 2
If I send a SMS to Liesel (examplename) and save the message to my outbox: it would be saved under the name Liesel, but a few hours/days later, the name becomes another name (example Bob) who I sent another sms (also saved to outbox). ie. if I sent an sms : hello how you are doing ? to Liesel
the name Liesel now becomes Bob but when I switch cell off then on - it goes back to Liesel? is this a problem with the cell - some ppl have said to upgrade the firmware - is that true?
All help would be much appreciated.
Overall impression of Samsung D500 : excellent cellphone!!
Samsung sucks. Support in the UK is non-existant. I have tried to connect both bluetooth and USB data cable, but this doesn't work with the Samsung software. Very little help doc's in proper english. I'll never buy Samsung again, which is a pity, as I like the camera.
this phone is different from others, to see ur contact name, not click the button above c/clear button. instead of clicking tat button, click the button above the reject/end call button.
this phone is crap.....i have 3 phones seeing that i have to travel and need phones of different types(GSM, and such) i have d500, e730 and SE 700i. this is the worst out of the three....the reason why the reviewers gave such a high reason is because they only used it for a couple of weeks to couple of months at max. if u use this more than 4 months, u will definately feel the need to change and fix about everything in the phone. tis includes sliding mechanism, screen and camera. VERy dissapointed DO not buy it, stick with e730 or SE 700
i love this phone and it looks awsom...i want it for my b-day...i was just wondering if it had voice recorder and if you could use that as your ringtone?...so thats it...and this phone is AWSOM!!! tnx...-enji
umm guys i just got this phone today and when you press the down button [the button on top of the "C" or clear button] is it supposed to show a name? help please
at last i buy this! this evening and i'm glad, it's gorgeous and i think it's perfect for me. people...buy it! don't think in others, thisis the best. at first it don't like me but now i think it's extremely beautiful. bye!
Bar style is not my preference but sliders are my personal rave -- I carry 2 phones a company nokia bar style that is vitally essentiial to lock the keys to avoid random dialing!!! My personal is a flip -- again cumbersome to find it grab it open it all before a missed call - yes I am that busy while on a landline as well -- good luck
I orderd d500; should be here in a few days; all the reviews sound great-can't wait; it was the 1st unlocked I ever saw 3mo ago- fell in techno love with it at 1st sight; My 2 daughtrs want the Razr - but 3 identical fones in 1 house will be utter chaos; I have E317 already & hope for another winner; other runners up are E810,Nokia 6111,Philips 960, Ericson W600; my ultimate dream choice is the Denim & diamonds ESCADA SL65 by Siemens--rugged yet refined my own shabby chique to a T!
please can someone help me!! how the hell do you get music on the phone?! so bloody confused need help so bad!! thanx

Hi Mark,
I enjoyed reading your posting and discovering jealousy may reside in objects as well as in people.
What would Luhrman have to say about this I wonder?
iPhone Addiction
My oldest son and I both own iPhones. We both love our iPhones, but the degree of our affection is where we part ways. Before he went away to college he would fall asleep with his iPhone next to him. I doubt that sleeping habit has changed. I always thought that a bit odd and extreme. Turns out it may still be odd, but maybe not so extreme.
It's now official. iPhones are addictive and people actually do snuggle up to them at night. The study was by Stanford University on 200 iPhone-toting students. And the headline coming out of the survey? 75% admit to falling asleep with their iPhone in bed. What would Masters and Johnson say about that? Here are some more highlights (or lowlights):
- 85% used the iPhone as their watch
- 89% used it as their alarm clock
- 69% said they were more likely to forget their wallet than their iPhone
- 30% called it a "doorway to the world"
- 41% said losing their iPhone would be "a tragedy"
- 8% admitted that they have at some time thought "My iPod is jealous of my iPhone"
Does that freak you out? It may, but those behind the study won't go so far as to call this iPhone addiction a medical problem on the same level as alcoholism or drug addiction. Tanya Luhrman ( Stanford anthropology professor) said this: "I don't think it is really unhealthy. I think they really like their iPhone."
I was curious so I just texted my college freshman son (iPhone to iPhone of course), and asked him, "Do you still sleep with your iPhone?" He called me right away (iPhone to iPhone of course) asking a bit angrily and sheepishly, "What do you mean by that?" After explaining my intentions, he calmed down and said, "Dad, my iPhone is everything to me. It's my phone, my alarm clock, my planner." I pushed him further, "But do you still sleep with it?" "I course I do, dad," he answered, "Hey, I gotta go, I'm studying for a mid-term exam. "
After hanging up, I wondered, "Was that the father-son sex talk we never had?"
9 Comments on "iPhone Addiction"
Let me begin by saying, "wow" Mark there are a few cardinal rules–in church work and in news work. Never use your kids in a story/sermon. K. But thought it was funny nonetheless.
Hilarious! You all crack me up! I love last statement…LOL!!!

35th Annual Bloody Lake Rendezvous
- Black Hawk Memorial Park, 2995 County Y
- Woodford
- 5/6/2017 - 5/7/2017
- Saturday 9 am - 4 pm, Sunday 9 am - 3 pm
- 608.214.2080 or 608.325.5034
- www.http://yellowstoneblackhawkpark.webs.com/
Each year, a group of these living historians host an annual rendezvous event at the appropriately historic Black Hawk Memorial Park near Woodford, WI. The Yellowstone Flint and Cap club has been hosting an annual rendezvous there for over 30 years, now. They invite other historians to come and camp for the fellowship, the raw competition, for the fun of it. Some historians spend those cold winter months, setting by the fireplace, making enough crafts to use as trade goods for the supplies or items they will need in the coming year. The leather worker may make an apron the blacksmith can use in his work or the gun maker will create a beautifully, handcrafted rifle in hopes of trading it for a buffalo hide that will keep him warm. The women tat lace, sew shirts and skirts or trade recipes.

When I said, "I had lunch at that F place" I was being honest, solemn and definitely not vulgar. That "F" place happens to be the restaurant at the hotel with such a lengthy name, it makes anyone's most customized Starbucks drink sound monosyllabic.
Get ready because it's quite a mouthful: Best Western Premier F1 Hotel. I'd prefer my self-made nickname: F1 Hotel. However if you imagine a racing-inspired accommodation and theme, then you'll have to go to Toyz for that. F1 Hotel is classy, sleek and very silver/gray-oriented. There are no cars, just quite a collection of mirrors lining the walls.
As for F, the restaurant, it was enclosed with glass, giving a fantastic view of Taguig. As a downside to this glorious location, the summer sun was not very forgiving to lunchtime diners. Good thing I was part of the late lunch crowd. Dining at near closing time (2pm), something as irrelevant as sunshine can be waived for other more pertinent matters such as cheese and ice cream. With fewer people to contend with!
The lunch buffet offers the usual cuisine selection that people have gotten quite used to: Japanese, Chinese, a bit of Indian and American. Nothing fancy as Greek or Mexican, but with my limited time, I was glad that I need not face indecision at such a crucial moment.
[caption id="attachment_1806" align="aligncenter" width="614"] Salmon & Salmon Salad[/caption]
The salad bar was nothing grand and extensive, just the usual dressing and toppings. On the side were various cold cuts, sushi and sashimi that were plentiful enough to appease the hungry crowd. As for me, salmon sashimi and smoked salmon topped my salad - weird, I know - but was engaging enough for me. Perhaps with the lack of interesting toppings, the salmon came in particularly tempting.
The main course section was a line of viands, soups, pasta, shabu-shabu and seafood selections. Spotting the cheese board at the start of the line, I couldn't help but get a sample of each, thus reducing plate space for the main course. My bad. But it was so good, topped on my already existing salad, so not bad at all.
The vegetables were the first to grace my plate, then came the fish with raita sauce and that cajun chicken. The waiter-cook swore to that chicken's spiciness which I looked forward to with a glass full of water, only to find out that it was mediocre hot in my spice scale. The fish was tender and succulent, but I found the sauce a tad too sweet for my taste. Too early for dessert. Hence the fish dove into my salad. Fabulous catch.
[caption id="attachment_1799" align="aligncenter" width="614"] Pesto with Mushrooms[/caption]
My customized pesto came in a wee serving but tasted absolutely fresh and cheesy. The carbonara looked just as appetizing - a bit on the creamy side but with all that cheese - worth it!
Roasted potatoes, tempura, dumplings and bagnet graced the plates of my companions. I would be forever sorry for not having taken photos, but with the way everyone was rushing, people might just end up eating my camera in haste, or something to that disastrous effect.
The dessert section was a glorious lair of fondue, fruit, cakes, pastries, crepes and ice cream. For once, I was astounded and could not determine what to select. Strange as it was, I decided to forego ice-cream for the first time in my life. A traitor to ice cream, I will make it up next weekend.
[caption id="attachment_1804" align="aligncenter" width="614"] The Crepe that Launched a Thousand Burps[/caption]
The crepe station had fruits, a host of awesome toppings and ice cream to boot. This crepe was not mine but was such a delight to stare at and take a photo of. As for the rainbow sprinkles, good luck to the lucky diner who finished this off.
[caption id="attachment_1801" align="aligncenter" width="614"] The Chocolate Crew with the Lone Creme Brulee[/caption]
My dessert platter was painstakingly chosen from a chiller containing at least 10 other cakes. I decided to stick to the chocolate inspired theme. The brownie was the best bet, ultra moist and mixed in with a bit of walnut. If I was not that full, I'd have gotten more of that brownie and topped it with vanilla ice cream. The chocolate cake had a layer of chocolate icing and another of hazelnut - perfect with coffee. The creme brulee was fantastic for those who refused to indulge in a totally sweet dessert but wanted a decently sweet treat. A second favorite next to the brownie.
Aside from buffet, the hotel also offers conferences and the like. Here's what they served our guests. The thickly sliced bread was quite a sight, I'd forever wonder how they finished their sandwiches while trying to be all prim and proper.
Of course I had none of those sandwiches. I was still too full from lunch - and just managed to drown myself with chamomile tea.
It can't get any more "F" than that.

However! Things are slowing down and are pretty much confirmed with wedding stuff, so Future Husband and I are starting to have more free time. For about 3 days. And then we'll be off to Texas for the wedding (and more trying to keep our eyes open past 7:30 pm).
Last weekend I had the opportunity to break in my muffin pan. A family friend of Future Husband graciously gave it to us (read: me) as a wedding shower gift (along with her cookbook and a brownie pan - all commercial baking quality) and I'd been itching to try it out since then. I'd even solicited recipes from the foodies on Twitter and got some great recipes - applesauce muffins from former coworker and fellow Mizzou grad Addie Broyles (an awesome Austin food blogger!), cheesecake in muffin form and cherry tomato cornbread muffins from Mango & Tomato.....the list goes on. And Future Husband found a few recipes he wanted to try too.
And while those recipes are first on my list of stuff to make after the wedding, when I saw this recipe I had to try it immediately. And I knew my fellow snackers last weekend would love love love these...
(Photo from Instructables)
Yum. Car bomb cupcakes. Need I say more? Guinness cupcake + Jameson ganache (trust me, it's good) + Bailey's frosting = very sweet but AMAZING. They disappeared. Quickly.
That may or may not have happened because everyone was slightly, um, inebriated. But still. They disappeared nonetheless. (Note: They are not for kids. Really. Some of the alcohol doesn't cook off.)
They're not too difficult to make - just have a lot of steps. Instructables (where I got the recipe) takes you step by step for each component. Each part of the recipe was easy and I ended up breaking it up throughout the evening...made the cupcakes before dinner, let them cool. Made the ganache and frosting while Future Husband was cleaning up after dinner. Actually put the cupcakes together the next day.
My next task in the kitchen is MUCH more daunting than just breaking in my muffin tin. We just got this:
(Photo: Le Creuset)
Be still my beating heart. Future Husband and I are so excited about this we can hardly sit still. We talked about what to make in it at 6:10 this morning. So. Amazing. Definitely displaying it prominently in the kitchen. It's so beautiful! How could you not?
But I think we've decided that the first recipe should be boeuf bourguignon. After watching Julie & Julia, I'm apprehensive (but don't really plan on falling asleep on the couch while it cooks, so I should be fine). But it seems like the perfect way to welcome Le Creuset to our home! Plus...yum.
So now I just need to find a good, tried-and-true recipe.

Highland Park High School, Nov 07, 2008
|It's a good high school. It has air conditioning and heater, but the teachers are too easy on the students. The students barely focus on school work and pretty much just play around in school. I think the school and it's conditions are great, but the students have been spoiled.

Care Plans
The creation of individual care plans for each resident is the most important document that we prepare.
The care plan is fundamental to the person centred care that we deliver. It tells the staff everything they need to know about each of our residents.
At a very early stage of a resident joining us one our senior staff will carry out an initial assessment on the person's needs to ensure the home will provide the service that person requires. The document contains every relevant piece of information that we can gather from the resident, their family and friends and their healthcare and associated professionals.
It exists to make our residents life as well cared for, stress free and enjoyable as possible.
All our carers read the care plans regularly. This ensures that they are familiar with any changes to the care of the resident and that it is updated to reflect the ongoing needs of the person concerned. It is essential that these requirements are understood by the whole team.
Our Head Domestic and our Chef also have access to the care plans to make sure any allergies and food requirements are known and to make sure that the residents food is cooked to their liking.

WCC Expert Evidence
In Dick's Diesel Pty Limited v Caddaye (above) Acting President Roche also considered the issue of expert evidence in the Commission and application of the principles in Makita (Australia) Pty Limited v Sprowles [2001] NSWCA 305.
The Appellant argued that the Arbitrator was wrong to accept evidence from a medical expert who did not have a complete and accurate history of pre-existing bowel and bladder complaints and who did not provide a proper medical explanation in relation to the nature and cause of those complaints.
The Acting President rejected the Appellant's submission, stating:-
"…the Appellant's submission has ignored the correct approach to expert evidence in the Commission, as explained in Hancock v East Coast Timber Products Pty Limited [2011] NSWCA 11; 80 NSWLR 43 (Hancock). As Beazley JA (as Her Honour then was) stated at [83] in non-evidence based jurisdictions (such as the Commission), the question of "acceptability of expert evidence will not be one of admissibility but of weight". What was required for satisfactory compliance with the principles governing expert evidence is for the expert's evidence to set out the "facts observed, the assumed facts including those garnered from other sources such as the history provided by the Appellant, and information from x-rays and other tests".
The Acting President decided that the expert's conclusion that the worker had "corticospinal tract damage with occasional bladder and bowel incontinence" was adequate and that there was no requirement to provide any further explanation. He considered it was sufficient for the expert to rely on the history of urinary incontinence, examination of radiological reports and the expert's experience and expertise as a General Surgeon.

This body of work applies meticulous rendering and dense arrangement of a plethora of personal images, symbolisms and references as well as other meaning-loaded elements, which has become the signature style of Haslin's artistic practice. These drawings and collages are largely laden with private signifiers and hectic images, and done in a multi-layer and multi-perspective approach, rendering his art chaotic with regard to its composition and presentation, yet at the same time, highly suggestive as to its intended meanings and messages.
"This new series of drawings reflects my personal feelings about critical issues pertaining to our current life. They include disturbing situations, such as the everlasting wars, the bombardment of technologies without boundaries, and the presence of greedy and power-hungry leaders who are exemplary of mankind's utmost dark sides," quipped Haslin.
Even though this series of new works vividly embodies the frenzied and surrealistic mix of the artist's creative mind, it also reveals his critical introspective thoughts concerning the increasingly haphazard situations that are eroding our humanity and, eventually, capable of destroying our world. They are evocative of Haslin's true feelings and psyche in confronting the life's mystery and beauty, as well as its unpredictability and vulnerability. And the miniscule characters that the artist sophisticatedly inserts amidst the labyrinthine compositions probably serve as symbols of our hope and prayer.

Basq Restaurant
T26A Currambine Central 1244 Marmion Avenue, Currambine
Ph: (08) 9305 4666
Bask in the Hospitality
Basq, a brand new, fully licensed restaurant in Currambine has brought the City to the suburbs in a relaxed Perth venue with suburban prices, and is even a bit Melbourne-ish, says Head Chef Neil Herbert. "I realise people are doing it tough now, and putting prices up will only drive people away," he said.
We were lucky enough to sample the menu at Basq on day two of its soft opening, where family and friends were able to try the 4 course set menu, a trial run for the opening of the a la carte menu that started late November. Locals have taken advantage of the new cuisine, with the restaurant fully booked on both nights.
Neil's vision for Basq is: sustainable, relaxed, rustic and fun, suitable for any occasion, with a casual side if you just want something light such as tapas and a glass of wine before a movie for instance. The other section of Basq has a more formal feel, with effective lighting and décor for a more intimate/romantic rendezvous.
On the opening nights, diners got to try Basq's homemade bread and delicious olives. One of my favourite dishes was Gambas al Ajillo, Gremolata or Spanish Garlic Prawns. The fresh meaty prawns were delicious with the combination of spices and a squeeze of lemon to pull the flavours together. Another favourite was the Wild Mushroom Ragout on toast, with young herbs, lemon oil and peppered goat's cheese – demonstrating rustic earthy flavours.
It's refreshing to see chefs with the desire to utilise and incorporate our natural resources such as locally grown produce like fish and seafood, sustainable, free range and organic produce whenever possible, including the use of natural bush herbs and berries. What you get here is fresh – all seafood is local or it comes off the menu. With the whole sustainability of ingredients in mind, Neil believes in keeping it simple, with just two or three ingredients on the plate.
The Market Fish with Confit Fennel Potato, Asparagus, Dill and mustard butter sauce was a delectable delight, the fish being Barramundi. We also tried the Butter roasted Spring Chicken, with greens, baby carrots and peas. Neil refers to this dish as comfort food, with its chicken crackling and pan juices adding to the succulence.
Neil brings a wealth of experience with him to Basq Restaurant, with twenty-four years as a chef. He trained in the UK at Michelin Two Star and Four Rosette restaurants, where the cuisine is first class, before moving to Australia, where he has worked in a variety of top restaurants. Then while holidaying with his family in the UK and Europe he was inspired with renewed passion for a restaurant with a modern European cuisine.
In setting up Basq, he says he surrounds himself with the best chefs, including his Sous Chef Josh Vears, with whom he has worked previously. Owner Kris Dunne and Neil are both proud of their team at Basq, and while Neil considers he is relatively easy to work with, he says he runs a tight ship in the kitchen. Team work is important to him. "You are only as good as the people you work with," he adds.
It is casual dining, including a children's menu with mini steaks and mini pasta dishes. With a large alfresco area decorated with planters: the array of plants, including fresh herbs, add to the visual ambience of the restaurant and are also effective, acoustically.
Another thing I found refreshing is the fact that Neil likes to keep in touch with people and encourages honest constructive feedback from diners – valuable in maintaining good service delivery.
Basq is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, Monday to Thursday from 12 noon until 9.30pm, and weekends until 10pm. Restaurant staff are flexible, catering for vegetarians and special diets if needed. Just ask, and they are happy to accommodate.

Changing Times
The University of Cambridge has highlighted the risks of Britain running out of land for food within the next 20 years. This, combined with population growth, presents serious challenges for our farmers.
While the small farms dotted around the UK will play their own role in this challenge, the more pertinent task of simply surviving in uncertain, changing times cannot be ignored.
With a limited number of staff or more modest resources, this can become particularly tough. But now, aided by some impressive innovation finding its way into the agricultural sector, that has become easier than ever.
Here's our pick of the five technologies and gadgets that can help you save both time and money, while helping to feed the world:
1. Drones
Cost: From £800
No longer the exclusive domain of the military, farmers are starting to adopt drone technology to get a different – and far more detailed – birds-eye perspective of their land. A drone can capture highly accurate images of up to hundreds of acres in a single flight, producing images of far greater resolution than satellite photos, even on a cloudy day, and at a cost far cheaper than with a fixed wing manned aircraft.
Using a selection of near infrared, visible and thermal cameras, the agricultural applications of drones are varied and vast. These include sweeping large stretches of land identifying ewes having trouble lambing (in a fraction of the time compared to driving the area), to monitoring crops affected by pests so insecticide can be sprayed just on the required area instead of the whole crop. There are strict laws governing the use of drones, so its best to seek advice on how to implement them before taking any action.
2. Lone Worker Device
Cost: From £6/month
It's no secret farming can be a dangerous activity, with many potential risks involving working with heavy machinery and in remote locations like fields or silos. In the last 10 years, almost one person a week has been killed as a direct result of agricultural work, and many more seriously injured or made ill by their work – and the cost of things going wrong can be debilitating for small farms.
Fortunately workplace safety can be greatly bolstered by installing a cost-effective lone worker smartphone app or opting for a dedicated device. Using GPS to record workers' location and prompting them to check-in at regular intervals to confirm their safety, a lone worker device can also automatically raise the alarm in an emergency when workers aren't able to do so.
3. All Terrain Vehicle
Cost: Various
A new ATV is a considerable cost for any small farmer, but a reputable second-hand market could be the more-affordable route when adding this to your toolkit. Go-anywhere ATVs are a great addition to any farm, primarily thanks to their versatility – some models are available with a host of quick-release implements from ploughs and scarifiers to landscape rakes. Although significantly smaller than a diesel truck, which adds to their maneuverability about the farm, you shouldn't be fooled by their compact dimensions – ATVs can be a robust workhorse.
Quality ATVs can include a weighty load bed large enough to carry feed and water for livestock, as well as powerful towing capacity makes them a worthy alternative to more expensive small tractors.
4. Heat Detection Collars
Cost: From £65/cow
Increasing your in-calf rate is one of the best ways to improve productivity and profitability on your farm. With the arrival of heat detection collars, which monitors levels of behaviour and skin temperature to know exactly when to inseminate, reproduction rates can be hugely improved while getting rid of any guess work.
Compared to cheaper methods – including calendars, tail paint and anklets – smart collars are far more accurate, less labour-intensive and can easily benefit smaller herds through the introduction of precision farming. Information from the collars can also be used to monitor overall herd health and early detection of heat stress and lameness helps reduce health care costs.
5. Electronic Ear Tags
Cost: £0.75/tag
Not only is wearable tech all the rage among humans, it's also been finding its way into agriculture with great success. Using Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID), smart ear tags can help farmers track their herd's vital statistics using their smartphone to cut back on health costs, or even help identify that lamb that got separated from the flock.
Useful in both small and medium-sized flocks, RFID data can be linked to other existing records like bodyweight, number of lambs weaned and treatment withdrawal times which can help farmers make better informed decisions when selecting ewes and rams.

Last, but most critical point to keep in head is to have information of market place value of the auto you plan to buy. At times the complex value of a auto will be $ 7,000 while you can buy it for $4,000. This distinction in complex value and actual marketing price of a utilized auto in Cleveland Ohio is a aspect that must not be skipped.
What would the dealer give to know what improvements their regular monthly income and what does not? Any salesperson or dealership management team who inquires into the forces at enjoy in between the vendor and the purchaser may possibly trigger a fallout for accomplishment.
So when you are ready to donate your auto choosing a non-income auto donation center is your best option. They are overseen by the IRS and can't make a income from your auto donation. When you donate auto to charity you save funds in numerous techniques and the charity is ready to use the funds created from its sale to even more its mission.

Commissioner John King
Update: 11/12/13: Parents were allowed to speak and ask questions at the East Setauket meeting on Tuesday evening. Everyone who commented was opposed to the manner of implementation and the testing surrounding Common Core. The idea of common standards was supported by many. The Commissioner, Sen. Flanagan, and Chancellor Tisch said they were listening but their comments sounded hollow. They said they would make adjustments but weren't specific.
As the forum in the East Setauket school got under way, nearly every seat in the 900-capacity auditorium was filled. Several people in the back held signs with the letters "SOS."
Speaker after speaker — from school principals to teachers — blasted the state for over-reliance on testing, drawing applause and cheers from the standing-room-only crowd.
I guess we'll see, but parents and teachers need to show up at meetings and they need to keep making their voices heard.
When New York's State Education Commissioner John King allows free speech at his town halls, they don't go well. There is a good reason for that. Common Core in New York is a disaster.
If you need to get caught up, read all about it on this link. The video of the Poughkeepsie rally is particularly worthwhile listening to. It is what Commissioner King does not want a repeat of. The parents of Poughkeepsie spoke their mind and tried to explain to him what the Core was doing to their children.
He wants no more of that. He is holding a dozen meetings throughout Long Island but they are completely controlled. They are by no means open forums.
The first will be tomorrow night from 6 to 8 at Ward Melville High School in East Setauket and another will be in Mineola on Wednesday.
Sen. John Flanagan, an unpopular proponent of Common Core, coordinated the event in East Setauket. Numerous parents I spoke with said he won't come out of his office to speak with them about Common Core.
The meeting in East Setauket will have five hand-selected people from each of 12 Suffolk County school districts who will be seated in the reserved section. Three people from each district will be given two minutes to speak. Their questions have been pre-screened.
Other seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis with an overflow crowed allowed to watch the meeting on closed-circuit TV.
Mineola is doing it differently. They are giving out tickets to 15 Nassau County school districts. It will be viewable on the Internet.
"These are not open forums,' said North Bellmore parent Jeanette Deutermann. She said she believes state officials set tighter restrictions on Island forums than those elsewhere. "We all have a right to be heard.' [Newsday, Limits on School Forums, November 11]
The Commissioner keeps sending out the message that the standards are tough when they are hardly that. He wants New Yorkers to believe that our children have really been learning nothing until he came along. So far, parents aren't falling for it. Many are seeing their children come home confused, hating school, and losing interest in their schoolwork and it was all so unnecessary.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) delivered a sobering outlook for the Aussie economy this morning.
The bank says we should get comfortable living in an era of slowing growth. The IMF points to weak commodity prices and lack of investment outside mining as factors that will continue dragging on GDP. So much so that it could cut annual growth by 1% to 2017.
This verdict comes on the heels of the Reserve Bank's own downbeat assessment. Not a month ago, RBA governor Glenn Stevens warned growth rates of over 3% were a thing of the past. And that we should readjust our expectations below this.
That Australia is facing weaker growth prospects should come as no surprise. By now you'll be well aware that GDP growth is falling. In the year to June, the Aussie economy grew at a sluggish 2%. That figure was down from 2.5% over the previous quarter.
In other words, the economy shaved 0.5% in the space of one quarter! Actual GDP growth in Q2 2015 was 0.3%, down from 0.9% in Q1.
It doesn't take a gambler to see that odds of breaking 2% this year are slim at best.
What does all this mean in the long run?
IMF concluded the economy could shed as much as 5% off GDP growth in the next decade. That's if economic growth remains closer to 2.5%, not 3%…which is a very likely. The way the economy is tracking, even 2.5% will take some effort.
Here at The Markets and Money, we've been foreshadowing the coming decline for years. Greg Canavan, our chief editor, has warned all year that Australia faces a recession in 2015. It seemed irrational in Q1 when growth hit 0.9%.
But it's looking more probable with every passing day. You can read what Greg has to say about the coming recession by clicking here. Greg's not alone in his assessment either. Major financial institutions have waded on the debate recently. Goldman Sachs now says there's a one in three chance of recession in Australia.
Australia: The lucky country?
With or without a recession, economic growth is slowing. But according to the IMF, Australia's in a better position than most. Yet is that really true?
We know the commodity crunch is hurting resource economies the world over. Falling prices in iron ore, coal and oil have slashed government budgets from Australia to Russia.
But is Australia better placed to fend this over other major exporters? As far as the IMF is concerned, yes. Why? Because the Aussie economy is more diversified, or so it believes. The IMF says we have other pillars supporting the economy even as mining declines.
We'll touch on whether that's actually true in a moment. But first, here's the IMF explaining its conclusion:
'Commodity exporting economies are at a difficult juncture. A significant deceleration in growth rates is unavoidable.
'Global commodity prices have declined sharply over the past three years, and output growth has slowed considerably among commodity-exporting emerging market and developing economies. Whether the decline in growth has opened up significant economic slack – that is, has increased the quantity of labour and capital that could be employed productively but is instead idle – and the degree to which it has done so are likely to vary considerably across commodity exporters.
'The variation depends on the cyclical position of the economy at the start of the commodity boom, the extent to which macroeconomic policies have smoothed or amplified the commodity price cycle, the extent to which structural reforms have bolstered potential growth, and other shocks to economic activity.'
Other commodity exporters haven't been as lucky. Canada, Brazil and Russia are all in recession. Even tiny, oil rich Norway slashed interest rates to 0.75% this week in response to weak oil prices.
But it's likely that Australia is just lagging behind the rest. In the case of iron ore, our biggest export, prices are down a third since 2011. In the past year alone, prices have fallen by 40%!
As we've already seen, GDP growth tanked between Q1 and Q2. Growth would have been even lower without government spending on defence. Now, with both consumer confidence and business spending down, things are meant to improve? Not likely.
Remember, all this is taking place with record low 2% interest rates in Australia. Brazil, which is in recession, has interest rates set at 14.5%. We're no better off than them really — the RBA merely timed its rate cuts well this year, and we're seeing the effects of that.
Non mining investment won't help Australia's standard of living
These days, central banks cut rates for two reasons. One is to boost export competitiveness on global markets. Rate cuts weaken currencies, making goods cheaper for buyers.
The other is to increase non mining investments. And this is where the big hope lies. Policymakers are optimistic that other sectors of the economy will drive up growth. To be fair, the weaker dollar is helping lift tourism and education. But this isn't nearly enough.
Non mining investment may be picking up, but it's not offsetting the decline in mining. We squandered this opportunity to truly diversify when it presented itself years ago.
Yet during the mining boom, most investment still flowed into mining. And why wouldn't it? Resources were thriving. Short-termism ruled the day. Yet it left us without a plan once the inevitable boom subsided.
Economic growth is now slowing. The IMF and RBA are both telling you to get used to a new normal. One in which standards of living follow GDP growth down the tube. On Monday, we got another clear sign of this.
Guy Brute, an economist at Alliance Bernstein, issued a stark warning with some compelling evidence. He showed how Australia's net national disposable income per capita has been in decline since 2011.
This measure is a key indicator of prosperity. It adjusts for export and import prices, and changes in population. It also accounts for net income flows not going to Australian residents.
His conclusion lines up with the start of the end for mining. Commodity prices started their slide in 2011. Ever since, we've been living on borrowed time. Loose monetary policy did its bit in easing the pressure. Meanwhile, rising asset prices, like property and stocks, gave the illusion of growing wealth.
Yet in the real economy, unemployment rose and wages stagnated to decade lows. But it's all collapsing in on itself now. A recession is all but guaranteed.
Yet that might be the least of our problems. Worse is the long, drawn out decline that may follow in its wake.

Lydia is an investment counselor and owns an investment franchise which is considerable to say of her investment talents to be able to to purchase this franchise and have three staff working for her and not anywhere near thirty years of age!
Having always been the outdoors type, enjoying fly fishing, backpacking, mountain biking, extreme skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling, and working seasonal jobs during high school and university doing these activities, I started up a tourist related business with activities that varied with the season which I was fortunate to have very good success with despite the economy.
Our home is situated in a narrow hanging valley so we have great views of the scenery below and also provides seclusion, as from the lower elevations you cannot discern there is a house up above, and with a forested mountain on either side of the property, it isolates it from side views as well. We had constructed a heated horizon pool with a natural free flowing edge to blend in to the property as well as a large hot tub that could easily sit 12 people.
If they started drinking while watching movies, well, they seemed to get very casual and non-nonchalant about what was being exposed.
I and the others wondered were they all got this high energy level from.
We all have known one woman or two that seemed to have unlimited boundless energy but here were four roommates that all had it!
Oddly, in reflection it seemed that Rachel, Erica and Ashley actually went out on few dates with men during the university years, certainly I never knew any of them to have a serious boyfriend.
It seemed they preferred going out with their other girlfriends partying and dancing or with Lydia and I, preferably with us.

Inktober2018 – Day 08 – Star
#inktober #inktober2018 A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, USS Enterprize, Star Destroyer, and Battlestar Galactica joined forces to thwart the massive threat to the Universe, called … (drumroll please) "The Attack of the Starfish Empire"!
That's enough stars for the day, I guess!
Contact me if you want to make a splendid B-movie out of it .
Far from the City
Mukkam Post Dhanori (MPD)
Mukkam Post Dhanori is a Marathi movie released last week all over Maharashtra state of India. Some months ago, the creators of this movie approached me with a proposal of doing some paintings to be used in 2D animation sequences of this movie. Now I am publishing these paintings after the movie is released.
The first sequence was of a flashback, where the leading lady of the movie, Pooja, describes a historical event in which the British masters ruling India were stealing treasures from the ancient temples of India. This was done in multiple layers to facilitate animation.
She also describes a band of Indian freedom fighters called 'Dakkhanache Fakade' (The Bravehearts of Decaan), who worked on preventing the British from stealing these treasures by removing them from temples and entrusting them to someone elderly from the village.
I did the above as a concept first, and was penciled by another artist, inked and colored by me.
The picture of this sentry on the left was my favorite, but it never made to the final cut :-(.
Scene 2 started with a character pushing the other character on stairs.
Then the person thrown down wakes up in a dense jungle, and wanders around, lost.
Then he becomes part of the jungle, even killing wolves for lunch. Part of the penciling was handled by another artist here.
The last of the above frames never made it to the final cut.
It was a great experience working with team MPD, seeing the making of a movie in action. Hoping this is only a beginning of a long journey :-).
Mountain Pilgrims
There's a city in the distant lands, beyond the mountains, upon the sunny lands. It's the city of hopes and prosperity. It's the city of opportunity. And lots of pilgrims and travelers from other lands make a journey via the treacherous terrain to this city.
Yesterday I learned about a new lighting technique which I promptly used in this picture. Painted in GIMP on Wacom Intuos 4.
We have Visitors!
A busy, chaotic, clean and green city of skyscrapers, gardens, water bodies and highways. A seemingly normal day brings large shadows of some alien ships, bringing along the uncertainty and anxiety. Are they friends or foes, are they visitors or invaders?
A quick experimental piece done in Artrage studio.
The Dark Knight Fan Art
The Misty Mountains
The Dragon Slayer
A scene from another era, another place. When Dragons fought humans to master the planet. It was the era of mighty dragons, witches, wizards and fierce warriors. She is the mighty Warrior Queen, standing over her latest hunt, the red dragon, who has just obliterated a palace. But his might was no match for her arrows. As he lies helplessly at her feet, she contemplates whether to behead him or make him her pet.
I used this stock image (Warning: NSFW) from Deviantart.com for the warrior's pose. Thanks mjranum for the wonderful stock.
A bunch of naive explorers approach a mysterious cave flanked by dense woods on one side and a raging waterfall on the other. They are tired, and longing for a good rest. But something lurks in the shadows in that cave, of which they are totally oblivious. Can you complete the story?

Chicago Feminist Film Festival - The Orange Story
Koji Oshima is the proud owner of a small corner grocery store, but he must now abandon everything and report to an assembly center, to be taken off to a Japanese American incarceration camp.
Interview with Writer/Director, Erika Street Hopman
Congratulations! Why are you making your film?
The Orange Story portrays an important but shameful moment in American history - one that is too often skipped or glossed over in school history classes. By telling this story through narrative film, my hope is to help more people learn about Japanese American incarceration during WWII, and help them connect it to contemporary issues and events.
I hope this film inspires people to remember that small gestures matter. Each of us encounters moments in our own lives when we must decide whether to stand up against racism or perpetuate it. Those individual moments may be small, but they have a much larger context and significance.
Imagine I'm a member of the audience. Why should I watch this film?
The Orange Story specifically examines the culture of xenophobia and fear that led up to the incarceration. These are topics that transcend this moment in history, and continue to be relevant and important now, especially with recent debates over immigration, refugees, and the Muslim ban. So while this is a period piece, its themes feel current. As a filmmaker, I was attracted to the script because there was so much richness to explore in such a small story – for example, the film touches on friendship, loss, and how racism gets passed from one generation to the next. I believe that audiences will connect to the story for the same reasons that I did.
How do personal and universal themes work in your film?
The Orange Story focuses on the personal story of Koji, and chronicles his friendship with a young girl named Judith. So the film delves into important social justice issues, and provides the larger context of Japanese American incarceration during WWII, but it does so through the lens of Koji's personal story. We hope that this approach makes the history feel more immediate and alive than it would if we were to make a documentary on this subject. As they watch The Orange Story, I hope people will relate to Koji and begin to connect with this history on a human level – not just look at it as a series of dates and facts and statistics.
How have the script and film evolved over the course of their development?
When the producer, Eugene Sun Park, first shared the script for The Orange Story with me, it centered on the moment when the little girl tries to sell Koji an orange. As we workshopped the script and began looking at how we could use the movie for education and outreach, the story naturally grew to include more of Koji's experience and more backstory.
As someone who is not Japanese-American, it was critical for me to listen to a lot of oral histories from people who had been incarcerated during the war, and from their friends and family members. Many of the details and scenes we added were inspired by those oral histories.
Then we cast a non-actor named Joe Takehara for the lead role of Koji. Joe was in the incarceration camps himself as a child, so he brought all of that history and experience to the process. As we workshopped the scenes in rehearsal, we did some improv work, and Joe shared some of his family's stories with me. That also informed the final shooting script – Joe really made the character his own, and I'm incredibly grateful to him for the hard work and emotion that he poured into this project.
What type of feedback have you received so far?
We've been screening the film as both a stand-alone piece at festivals, and also as part of a collection of narrative shorts about Japanese American incarceration during WWII called "Hidden Histories." The Hidden Histories screenings are typically followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. During these sessions, it's been really rewarding to see people connect with this story, and I've been pleased by the fact that it seems to resonate with multiple generations. Some of the most profound discussions have come from high school students, some of whom were learning about this history for the first time. I've also had older audience members come up to me after a screening to say thank you for providing an entry point so that they can discuss this history with their kids or grand-kids. I'm thrilled that the film can be used in that way.
Has the feedback surprised or challenged your point of view?
When we started this project, I knew that this history wasn't taught as widely as it should be, but I continue to be surprised by how many people are completely unaware that the incarceration even happened. And for those who do know about it, we've had a lot of students who don't think of it as being part of American history: they see it as "Japanese American history" or even "Japanese history." These are exactly the types of assumptions and attitudes that we want to help overcome. I hope that this film encourages more people to educate themselves about the legacy of internment and to see it as a critical moment in American history – one that we need to make sure doesn't happen again.
We were also very surprised (and saddened) by how relevant this movie became so quickly. When we started this project several years ago, it was a labor of love, and we thought it was a very important story. But in the past year especially, Japanese American incarceration during WWII has come up more and more often in the news, so we felt a lot of urgency to get the story out there so that it can make a difference in the world.
What are you looking to achieve by having your film more visible on www.wearemovingstories.com?
We want as many people as possible to watch this film and share the story with their friends, families, and colleagues or classmates. Our goal is for this film to instigate discussion and encourage more people to learn about this critical moment in American history, in the hopes that we can prevent history from repeating itself.
Who do you need to come on board (producers, sales agents, buyers, distributors, film festival directors, journalists) to amplify this film's message?
We're always looking for people who want to host community or school screenings of either The Orange Story or the full Hidden Histories program.
We're also hard at work on an educational web site that will accompany the film. On the web site, students (and others) will watch the movie in chapters. In between chapters, they'll be able to delve into carefully curated and sequenced archival images, oral histories, and videos. The goal is to have the archival content provide more context for the movie; meanwhile the movie will inform students' understanding of the historical resources. When the web site is complete, we will be offering it as a free educational resource for teachers to use in the classroom, so we encourage any interested educators or institutions to contact us.
What's a key question that will help spark a debate or begin a conversation about this film?
I think some of the most provocative questions tend to be: 1) Why do you think so few people know or talk about this moment in history? 2) Do you think history could repeat itself? 3) What moments in the film do you connect with? Are there parallels to things you've experienced in your own life or that you've witnessed in your own community?
Would you like to add anything else?
Thanks for sharing this story!
What are the key creatives developing or working on now?
We are working on creating the educational web site that will accompany this film, and also exploring the idea of turning the story into a children's picture book. Eugene Sun Park, the producer, just finished producing a feature film called Signature Move that premiered at SXSW. I'm working on writing a feature, a coming-of-age story set on a family farm, and have continued my ongoing work producing syndicated environmental radio programs.
