Events in Dorset over the Summer of 2018
You're not going to run out of exciting things to do and places to go in Dorset, but when...
You could easily think that London is the only place receiving any attention from the Olympic committee given the coverage in the media and the number of events taking place there. However Weymouth will also get its share of the limelight as the Olympic sailing events will all be taking place in the waters just off the town.
If you're going to be enjoying Dorset cottage holidays during the Olympics, then this is a great chance for you to get involved in these extraordinary games. Two giant screens will be set up on Weymouth beach with enough room for fifteen thousand people to watch the sailing events, and entry is free.
Numbers will be carefully monitored, so you'll need to get there early if you want a guaranteed spot, but the atmosphere on the beach and the chance to say you were present at this once-in-a-lifetime event is not to be missed.

Just look at Rude Valentines Cards – The Facts for well-researched suggestions.
Do not forget Canadians! Canada is attached to the top of the United States, though at times it seems like most Americans forget it exists at all. If your affiliate company is willing to ship there, why not write a evaluation just for Canadians? Incorporate goods that they may appreciate which will ship for a reasonable expense. They will love you for it!
Offer your customers a discount if they provide feedback for your web site. If you offer them a few type of revenue savings, you're going to entice them to spend a bit of time writing up a evaluation of the items plus the service that they had gotten by way of your affiliate business.
Writing affiliate evaluations which focus on a single geographic location is a terrific approach to lure visitors who are likely to convert into sales. For example, if there's flooding in Ohio you can gear your keywords towards "flood preparedness" or "water removal" & incorporate Ohio inside your write-up, then review items which can help the people that are affected.
When discussing a bad experience you have had with an affiliate company on your web site, be specialist! Discuss facts & figures, provide proof, & never engage in name-calling or slander. You just need to let your readers know why you are pulling the affiliate program from your web site and how you're saving them from future troubles.
Use your expertise to prove that you understand what you are talking about, specially when it comes to affiliate links. In the event you have a internet site about dogs, let folks know that you are the person they will need to come to when they need a recommendation for grooming merchandise. Show them your own dogs & how astonishing them look, and then let them know how you got them there.
In the event you plan on making any important money in affiliate marketing, it is necessary that you realize each your product & your audience. By taking the time to study about the product you are offering, you can develop content that builds your credibility. By having credibility, you could construct trust with your audience. If your audience doesn't have trust in you, they're less likely to order what you're offering.
If your affiliated company gives holiday sales, events, or graphics, use them! Usually individuals will find these graphics specifically eye-catching, and who doesn't love a awesome sale? Ask your affiliate company in the event you might offer a coupon code which is exclusive to your web-site, giving your readers an even better deal.
Affiliate advertising has provided loads of people with the kind of freedom of which they never dared dream.

You look at images like this and think "Straight hair isn't so bad". And I agree, on this model it's beautiful. Looking at her, and those like her you put off getting your digital perm until you look in the mirror and realize that your hair doesn't look like the one in the picture above. Not all straight hair is made equal. In fact, some straight hair might as well be curly. Now take a look at the image below. This, my dear readers, is reality. On her blog Kami from risawn.com shows us how she went from long to short because, lets face it, for many of us with fine straight hair, life can be far from stylish. This type of hair has a tendency to fall in an unflattering way with little hope for improvement. In all my years of experience I've come to realize that fine+straight long hair is about the most high-maintenance thing you can have on your head. The sheer effort required to give it volume and body will knock out years of life you could be spending learning an extinct language. So for those of you who recognize your hair in Kami's, stop wavering! The time to digital perm your way into a more stylish and lower maintenance hair style is one salon visit away.With a digital perm, depending on the size of the curling barrels you chose, your hair can be either curly, wavy, or simply full of body. Imagine waking up in the morning and achieving gorgeous Victoria's Secret waves with a simple twirl of you fingers. Yes, it's that easy.

This year I really wanted to make my own Advent calendar. I have a large frame that I have been holding on to for years. It was made by Chad's Grandpa Plemon and is huge. I knew it would work perfectly, so Mom and I headed off to Michaels to look for the rest of the supplies.
We bought:
*mini clothes pin
*mini envelopes
*washi tape
*green buttons
I already had:
*large frame (we spray painted red)
*bakers twine
*more washi tape
*more buttons!
To begin, we threaded 5 mini clothes pins on the bakers twine. Based on the size of the frame, we planned to do 5 rows of 5 envelopes.
Since the frame is made of solid oak, Chad did the stapling. Since Chad is an engineer, he did the measuring to make sure all 25 envelopes fit perfectly.
Once each string was stapled, I went back a tied a knot to make sure the string wouldn't come loose.
I quickly clipped all 25 envelopes to see how it looked. We totally lucked out that the frame was the perfect size for the envelopes. Well planned, Grandpa Plemon!
Next, Mom and I went to town decorating each envelope. The plan was to be simple, but fun. That plan was quickly thrown out the window when we realized the amazingness of washi tape! It is so fun to use and adds so much to each envelope. We went back and added washi tape to each envelope - and stickers and buttons...
And here it is!
Inside each envelope is a piece of paper with an activity. This year I kept it very simple since the kids just got out of school last Friday and the nights were filled with homework.
Activities included in envelopes:
*write a letter to Santa
*hang your new ornament on the tree
*bake cookies and deliver to neighbors
*watch a Christmas movie with hot chocolate and extra marshmallows
*play a family board game
*make a washi tape Christmas tree
*make crayon ornaments
Next year I hope to add in more random acts of kindness to help my kids understand the real meaning of Christmas and the holiday season. That is my plan.
I am off to get a few more things done. I am almost ready! Are you?

Mark & Stephen's is a small batch LA-based business that focuses on salad dressings, jams and mustards. This is my second foray into developing recipes to go with Mark & Stephen's excellent salad dressing offerings. Their Blood Orange Raspberry Vinaigrette is perfect. It's a little bit sweet, but not too sweet and tastes fresh and clean – like fruit just picked out of one's back garden. It works perfectly with a lightly sweet quinoa salad.
Red Quinoa with Dried Fruit, Pecans and Mark & Stephen's Blood Orange Raspberry Vinaigrette (makes 6-8 side servings)
- 1 ½ cups red quinoa
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup dry toasted pecan pieces
- 1 cup dried wild blueberries
- 1 cup Vidalia onions, finely diced
- 1 cup dried apricots, finely diced
- ¾ cup Mark & Stephen's Blood Orange and Raspberry Vinaigrette
- Blood Oranges or Cara Cara Oranges cut into 1/8ths for garnish
- 8 cups of Arugula
Rinse the dry quinoa in a fine mesh sieve. Put the three cups of water in a small saucepan that has a lid. Add the rinsed quinoa. Bring the water to a high simmer, stirring a few times. Turn down to low and cover. Simmer until the quinoa is just tender. You should see the white sprouts start to break out of the quinoa seeds. Drain the quinoa in your fine mesh sieve and set aside while you pull together your salad.
In a large mixing bowl toss together the pecans, wild blueberries, onions, and dried apricots. Add the quinoa. Toss gently. Add the salad dressing. Toss gently and then serve on top of a bed of arugula. Garnish with orange slices.

The packaging professional faces the challenge of designing a package system that protects the product adequately, yet is also cost-effective and not excessive. An understanding of the environment in which the product will be shipped is an essential part of this process. Packages are subject to many hazards while being transported from the manufacturer to the end user. These arise from common and necessary distribution activitiesautomated and manual handling, transportation, and storageand can easily damage a product that is not packaged properly. Analysis of the distribution environment allows the packaging professional to design the package system with these hazards in mind.
The purpose of this report is to summarize the findings of past and present studies that attempted to gain a better understanding of the shipping environment. The results of one study in particular, headed by the Measurement and Analysis of the Distribution Environment (MADE) task group, will be the focus of this report. The challenges that this study revealed, along with the lessons learned, will be presented. Recommendations for repeating or continuing this study will be given, as well as points to consider when trying to analyze the environment. This report will focus on the U.S. environment only, although discussion of European and Asian environments can be found in Appendix A.
Packaging professionals work to design and update package systems constantly, yet there is still no clear understanding of the environment through which the packages travel. Most standards and test protocols are based on information gained 20 years ago, from studies done with inaccurate equipment in a completely different environment than the one that exists today. Increased carrier business has led to changing conditions in the shipping environment over the years.
According to some estimates, the packaging industry has grown to more than $100 billion in the U.S. and $500 billion worldwide. This figure includes packaging equipment, materials, and labor. About a third of the costs are associated with transport packaging, the other two-thirds are for consumer packaging (A. McKinlay, 1999; W. Pflaum, 1999). The small parcel delivery business, which started in the early twentieth century with United Parcel Service and blossomed in the 1970s with the introduction of worldwide service and the birth of other companies, such as Federal Express, Airborne Express, and DHL Worldwide Express, has expanded tremendously over the last 50 years. Today, express carriers each deliver millions of packages a day and continue to grow, working to improve the speed, extent, and accuracy with which they operate. Package handlers at the central hubs unload, sort, and load hundreds of thousands of packages in a matter of hours, and most drivers deliver hundreds of packages each working day (UPS web site).
Combining express carriers with other forms of transportation modes (rail, sea cargo, LTL), which is something most companies do, increases the potential for mishandled and damaged products.
According to the Institute of London Underwriters, worldwide cargo losses from "damage in transit" in 1997 were 3.8% or U.S.$6.2 million, as seen in Table 1 below (IUMI Conference, 1998). The actual proportions of loss are reflected in the pie charts in Figure 1.1. The charts in Figure 1.2 demonstrate that although the heaviest losses to cargo in transit are overwhelmingly the result of accidents to the carrying vessel or other conveyance, most loss does not actually occur as a result of accidents related to the transit. The largest part of non-transit losses, accounting for U.S.$228 million, is related to product damage in warehouse incidents. Thus the importance of understanding the shipping environment becomes evident.

The world is full of surprises and amazing inventions. Of all species, humans are especially good at mobilizing energy to create or do things that nobody ever thought possible.
Humans also have remarkable ways to adapt to life in every environment on Earth – watch the BBC documentary Human Planet and feel inspired: next time electricity breaks down or you run out of hot water, you know you can handle it!
This is called resilience or flexibility; whenever organizing rules change humans will find new creative solutions until a new equilibrium occurs. It's difficult to see these changes, but we might run into some good examples! We'll be on the look-out.

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
Win 300 games, hit 500 homers or garnered 3000 hits, your trip to Cooperstown was ensured. Other sports don't have similar standards but baseball at least had goals if reached guarantee immorality but the steroid era inflated many numbers and it is now hard to determine who's truly a Hall of Fame baseball player and who's not.
In the past, Mark McGuire's 583 homers assured first ballot entry, but now he's no longer a serious candidate for the Hall of Fame. Much of this is due to the anger of baseball writers toward McGuire but another reason is simply would he have actually reached the 500 mark much less 583 homers marks?
Many voters can't be certain which marks are legitimate.
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are two examples of this dilemma. Bonds was on his way toward a Hall of Fame career when he began the use of steroids. It is acknowledged that Bonds began using steroids in 1998; at least a decade after his career began.
He noticed the publicity that Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire and decided that he should use steroids and what followed were some of the greatest example of hitting ever seen in baseball.
Bonds' power numbers went up as he hit homers at a rate never seen. He was unstoppable and all of this occurred after he turned 35; an age when most baseball players saw their careers starting to slide downward.
It was if Bonds cheated age, but he was not the only one.
Roger Clemens left the Red Sox after 1996 and there was a belief that he was definitely on the downside of the career but his career would continue for another decade and again, he was throwing bullets when most pitchers became pitching coaches.
Most baseball writers are in agreement that Barry Bonds would have been Hall of Fame material as he was on his way to garnering 500 homers but would he have passed Hank Aaron?
On the other hand, Roger Clemens may have struggled to reach 300 wins and without that to his credit; he may not have been Hall of Fame candidate or a borderline candidate.
His strikeout numbers would not have been enough.
The problems with ranking Rodriquez is how many of his numbers were steroids related and how many were not? While there is no evidence that he used steroids as Yankee or even as a Mariner but there is no doubt that he used them as a Ranger.
The one problem with the steroid era was that not only did it inflate numbers for one group of players, but it also set up false comparisons to previous eras. Players like Andre Dawson and Jim Rice never reached numbers obtained by Sosa or McGuire and for many years, these great players never had the same opportunity when many voters viewed their numbers through the prism of the steroid era.
In the 1980's, 30 or 40 homers were considered significant but in the 1990s until 2003, 30 homers were just routine numbers; hell, 50 homers became routine.
Once baseball began routine testing in 2004, home run numbers declined. 60-homers seasons has resulted and home run leaders have now retreated back to pre-steroid era.
The question for Hall of Fame voters is how did steroids affects stats of a particular player? This is not easily answered. Some players would have been Hall of Fame players in any eras; others reached numbers simply because of the pharmacologic aid.
It is hard to tell and even worse, we simply don't know who took steroids and who didn't. What we know that the steroid era spanned from late 80's to 2003 when baseball instituted drug testing.
Players will have to be evaluated in a different light and their statistics viewed in a different light. As for Alex Rodriquez, most of his career will be conducted in era in which using steroids become problematic and risky.
This may be enough to stamp his ticket to Cooperstown but for players like Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa or Roger Clemens — a different standard will be needed to apply.
Baseball owners and players association preferred the increase fans going through the turnstile and increased revenues and never looked behind curtain. So anxious to remove the stench of the 1994 player strike, the Sosa-McGuire home run race renew interest in baseball but by refusing to acknowledge the reason behind the chase.
They devalued the sport they supposedly loved.

Chile Moves Left
EVENTS in Chile during the past decade and a half have pursued a spectacular course. Until the World War Chile, was generally regarded as politically the most stable nation in South America. Since 1924, however, she has experienced five military coups d'état, three dictatorships and one popular revolution. She came dangerously close to another upheaval last autumn when a coalition of Left wing parties, by a narrow margin, captured the presidency of the Republic, and with it the control of the Government.
In the economic sphere her vicissitudes have been equally dramatic. For a century she enjoyed high credit in the commercial world, due to her consistent endeavor to live up to her foreign obligations. But in 1931-32 she was plunged into a crisis more profound than that of any other South American country, and she was forced to default entirely on the service of the national debt. Her exports dropped to less than one-sixth of their 1929 value and her national revenues to less than one-third.
Since then the Chilean economy has recovered considerably, due in large measure to the opportune policies of the energetic government of President Alessandri, who came into office after the political turmoil of 1932. However, the most important contributing factor has been inflation, injected into the country, for good reasons or bad, by Alessandri's predecessors and utilized by his administration. Inflation has helped the farmers and industrialists, and they have been making money. But the cost of living has also risen greatly, and although accurate figures are difficult to obtain, there is a general impression that wages and salaries have not kept pace. Much building activity has taken place, especially in Santiago, but relatively little has been done to improve the scandalous health and housing conditions of the very poor.
The condition of the laboring, or obrero, class is indeed one of the most important political and economic problems in Chile. Even assuming that wages have kept pace with rising costs, they are still quite inadequate. If

| Deadline: 30 January 2015
The IncoNet CA project is conducting a benchmarking exercise of research organisations in Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan) working in the field of energy. For the implementation of this benchmarking exercise we are looking for experienced experts from the field of energy with profound research management and research strategy analysis capabilities, who will act as scientific evaluators under this benchmarking exercise.Download 'Tems of Reference' in PDF format
The IncoNet CA is an International Cooperation Network project, funded under the EU's 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technology Development (FP7). The IncoNet CA targets the countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Emphasis is put on Societal Challenges that have been identified to be of mutual interest for the two regions, namely: Climate Change, Energy and Health.
In particular the project aims at:
The IncoNet has started in September 2013 and will last until August 2016, and it is implemented by a consortium of 17 partners from the EU Member States and all the five CA countries.
Information on INCO.Nets in general is available at the European Commission's webpage: http://ec.europa.eu/research/iscp/index.cfm?lg=en&pg=inconet
One of the activities of the project, which is directly addressed by the Terms of Reference (ToR), is to organise a benchmarking exercise of research organisations in Central Asian countries working in the field of energy. For the implementation of this benchmarking exercise we are looking for experienced experts from the field of energy with profound research management and research strategy analysis capabilities, who will act as scientific evaluators under this benchmarking exercise.
This benchmarking exercise is based on a voluntarily participation of approx. four comparable RTDI1 organisations from the following countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) which work in scientific fields related to energy. The focus of this benchmarking exercise is on assessing the research performance of these RTDI organisations along the following three dimensions:
Although performance benchmarking in these three dimensions is envisaged, it has to be stated quite clearly that due to the complexity, diversity and variability of RTDI organisations, the specific environments in which they operate and the pilot character of the exercise, the output is expected to provide signs of good practice rather than robust evidence of good performance.Thus, the idea behind this exercise is to learn from good practices of other comparable RTDI organisations from other countries rather than checking performance accountability.
The already pre-selected group of around four RTDI organisations will be benchmarked on the basis of the RECORD methodology (Borsi et al, 2004), which has been developed under the 5th European Framework Programme for RTD. This methodology can and has to be adapted to specific circumstances and needs by the Evaluation Team.
The pilot exercise will be funded exclusively through the IncoNet CA project.
The maximum budget for each single evaluator for the above described tasks to be delivered (including reports etc.) is up to € 16,000. This maximum budget includes the consultancy fee, and daily allowances for the travels as outlined in the Terms of Reference.
At least six trips are foreseen, travel costs will be reimbursed based on further agreements with the evaluators (economy flight and hotel costs):
Delays are not acceptable.
Please submit the required documents (see Terms of Reference) for the application as a scientific evaluator from the field of energy sciences via e-mail to:
Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI), Austria
c/o Gorazd Weiss
Deadline for the submission of an application is Friday, 30 January 2015, 17:00 CET (date of entry of the e-mail).
A committee will be convened to select the scientific evaluators from the field of energy and/or energy-sciences. This selection committee will be composed by representatives from the
Telephone interviews with suitable candidates will be held at the beginning of February 2015, if deemed necessary.
For the full call information, including task description, methodology, qualification requirements and selection procedure, please download the Tems of Reference.

Hi Everybody, Welcome Back!!!
I just wanted to drop a quick post about the weeks Adventure. Let me tell you, it has been another great week full of fun and excitement, and non stop adventure! We've had FUN, FUN, FUN all the way from Here to There!!! The whole week thru!!! It just doesn't get any better than that!!! And I know, I've said that before!!! I started out this week with just another absolutely wonderful, great group of kids raring to go!!! They were ready to go have FUN, and so was I!!! And they stayed that way the whole week thru!!! Just the way I love it!
We quickly loaded up, and off to the Rock Garden we went. The tide was high and the water absolutely beautiful! What a great way to start the day!!! There were menhaden by the thousands and dozens of big snook and juvenile barracudas were trying to eat them for lunch, right up next to the beach! It was darn exciting watching those menhaden race past us with some big fish right after them! It didn't take long for AdventureMatthew to join the race and try to catch a few in his net as well!!! Way to go Buddy!!! Keep Chasing!!!
While we swam around the Rock Garden enjoying ourselves and checking out the hundreds of species of fish, one big giant ray came gliding right up next to us that was truly awesome!!! It had to have about a 6 foot wingspan and as it glided past us, it looked like a 747 going down the reef! It was absolutely GREAT, and we all loved it!!! It was cool to see!!! We spent a good bit of time searching for and finding blue legged hermit crabs by the hundreds! Along the way, we found one big, beautiful, mature queen conch that was about as nice as you can find around here. It was a nice find and we all took turns taking our photos with it. AdventureTripp sure had fun when it was his turn!!!
We spent a little bit of time swimming around the lagoon on Peanut Island, and saw a manatee go by, found a school of reef squid hovering in mid water that were really great to watch as they changed colors by contracting and expanding their chromatophores.We found dozens of large short spined and variegated sea urchins that were totally covered with shells and algae. We came upon a nice rock that had a half dozen big lobsters underneath waving their antennae's at us as if to say hello! AdventureDylan and Beau caught dozens of rock crabs and swimming crabs, and had fun feeding a few to the friendly sheep head and parrotfish that were following us around.
On the way back to the boat we found some small sea cucumbers and big tunicates, and at least a half dozen Giant Hermit crabs that were just waiting to crawl right out of their shells and grab your fingers if you gave them half a chance!!! There was nothing shy about these guys!!! The very second you grabbed their shell, they would stretch way out and try and reach around and take hold of your finger! It was just GREAT and EXCITING too trying to hold those crabs with getting pinched! AdventureDylan sure payed close attention to this one when he held it up for a picture!!! Nice Job!!! Didn't get pinched either!!! Way to go!!!
Each time we went by the Big Sandbar we put out a line with a shiny "Gotcha" plug and trolled along the shallows. A few times during the week a big barracuda would grab it, and we would all take turns reeling it in. A few we kept for our crab trap, and others to use as bait for our set line hoping to catch a small shark or a big ray! We didn't have any luck this week on the line, but we sure had fun on the way there to check it out just in case! Sometimes anticipation is everything!!! AdventureMatthew sure had FUN when it was his turn to reel in a nice big barracuda!!!
Everyday at low tide we stopped by the Big Sandbar to explore and see what we could find. We found hundreds of West Indian and Florida fighting conchs laying eggs, dozens of Baby Ear mollusks and olive snails, quite a few juvenile box crabs and blue claw crabs and a few nice, big, short-spined sea urchins and beaded starfish. Along the way AdventureRachel and Davina found the smallest, most tiniest beaded starfish that I've seen all year! It was a really nice find and we all took turns taking pictures of that tiny starfish as well. AdventureDavina was sure full of smiles when it was her turn to check it out!!! Way to go girls!!!
Everyday we would check out our crab trap to see if we caught anything and to add a bit more bait. Some days we would have nothing, and other days we would have only spider crabs. One day we had a trap full of some of the biggest, meanest blue crabs you ever saw!!! I'm talking CRABS WITH ATTITUDE!!! And thats just the way we love it!!! I gave the kids a talk on how to hold a "big mean blue crab full of attitude"without getting pinched, and showed them the proper technique that works everytime!!! I could tell they paid close attention too the way they tamed these big ol' Crabs!!! Nice job!!! Nobody was "crabby" here!!!
We stopped by Little Munyon Island a couple of times this week to look for horseshoe crabs and 9 armed starfish and to do a little bit of searching and exploring along the shallows on the backside of the island. We found loads of green legged hermit crabs and a few juvenile starfish that had most of the tips of the arms nibbled off by crabs. Probably by those very same 'big mean blue crabs with attitude"!!! Most of the tips had begun to regenerate and that was cool for the kids to see! We stopped by the south end of the island to take a couple of group photos along the edge of the rocks, where everyone had fun posing for pictures!!!
Another day we stopped by little Munyon Island to do some seine netting along the shallow sea grass beds, and talk about how many juvenile reef fish begin their life cycles in the grass flats before moving out onto the reefs as adults. We never know what we might pull up, and that always seems to add to the excitement for the group! On this day, the lake was flat calm, the tide way out, and conditions were perfect for seineing. Everyone was excited and ready to get started, and so was I!!!
By the end of the day we had caught more than a dozen juvenile barracudas, hundreds of mojarras, grunts, pinfish, snappers and tomtates. A half dozen or so big pipefish that are related to sea horses, tons of sea grass filefish that have rough skin with tiny teeth-like denticles similiar to that of sharks and lucky for the kids, a bunch of sharp-nosed puffers and checkerboard pufferfish that inflated right on demand!!! The kids loved these and we all took turns checking them out!!! It was a great day!!!
We spent another morning going over to Sea Urchin Shoals and found more short spined and variegated sea urchins than you could count!!! They came in every size and color combination you could think of!!! I'm not sure who won the contest that day for finding the smallest sea urchin, but I know it wasn't me!!! And I gave it my best too! Oh well… We all took turns letting them stick to our hands using their tiny tube feet and checked out their tiny pyramidal teeth underneath, known as 'Aristotle's lantern". They have the perfect teeth for grazing on sea grass, which is why we find them here in such large numbers. AdventureRachel had fun finding the perfect color she liked best!
I took the kids down to a section of rocks that often has a few of the long-spined or diadema sea urchins hidden among the crevasses. I wanted to show them what another species looks like that is cool to see, but best left alone!!! These also feed on algae but usually are found on the rocks and not in the sea grass beds around here. These have long, black, venemous spines that easily break off in the skin leaving a painful puncture for an hour or so. Sometimes they can be carefully handled underneath where the spines have been worn down and dull at the tips. If you chose to pick one up, WHICH YOU SHOULDN"T!!!, be prepared to be stuck on more than a few occasions. It happens to me quite often!!! The kids sure loved seeing this one up close and personal!!!
On our fishing day we started out going to the artificial reef where we caught Ceasars grunts, snappers, tomtates, pinfish, pigfish and striped grunts, NON-STOP!!! We caught so many fish that I stopped counting after a couple hundred! I have no idea who caught the most, but I can guarantee you, we had FUN like there was no tomorrow!!! I don't think I could count three seconds before someone else had a fish on, or there was 8 fish on at once!!! One thing is certain, AdventureDavina sure had FUN catching this nice fish!!!
A bit later I took the group down to my secret lane snapper hole, and we caught lane snappers there, like there was no tomorrow too!!! After about 15 minutes of catching snappers non-stop, one big ,hungry barracuda decided to park itself right underneath the boat and start having our lane snappers for lunch!!! AdventureRachel was reeling in one fine snapper when this barracuda darted out and ate half of it for lunch. She dangled the remaining half just out of water and that baracuda never took its eyes off that fish. I thought it might jump out of the water and grab it in mid air. I took the rest of that snapper and put it on a slightly bigger rod with a hook and wire leader and gave it to Rachel. A split second later, she had that big Cuda on, and a while after that, she got it in the boat!!! Way to Go Rachel!!! How is it, that it always seems the girls catch the biggest fish??? HMMMNNNN?????
The latter part of the day we went to the Big Sandbar to swim in the Deep Hole to rinse off. We collected a bunch of florida and west indian fighting conchs to check out, and take a few photos of the kids with Rachel's Big Barracuda, now that it was dead and safe to handle! We had so much fun we never wanted the day to end!!! When I told the kids it was getting time to go, I could hardly get them to come back in the boat. I had to threaten them that if they didn't hurry, I was going to have to BLOW MY WHISTLE!!! And lucky for me, it happens to be one of the worlds loudest whistles!!! This day was one of those very special days, and that barracuda was one heck of a FISH!!! Way to Go Everybody!!! You guys ROCK!!!
The last day we spent snorkeling around the Rock Garden, then took a quick boat ride along the beach so everyone could enjoy going "FAST". From here we went to check the crab trap and shark line we set in the deep trough along the sea grass beds. Lotsa crabs!!! No shark!!! Oh well… But one thing very cool we did see when we went to check the line was 21, yes, that is the correct number!!!, 21 big huge manatees eating mouthfuls of sea grass, all around the boat!!! It was fantastic!!! And we loved every second of it!!! We spent at least 30 minutes watching them munch away just a few feet from our boat!!! What a sight to see!!! It was just GREAT!!! And did we EVER want to join them!!!
And while we were all enjoying this, 3 bottlenose dolphin swam by to take a close up look for themselves! They spent about 15 minutes circling our boat looking at us, while we looked back at them!!! It was a great way to end the day and our week, and a put an exclamation point on another wonderful week full of FUN and ADVENTURE!!! All the way from HERE to THERE!!! Boating, Fishing and Snorkeling FUN!!!! What a week!!! What a day!!! What FUN we had!!! It just doesn't get any better than this!!!!
I can't wait till next week to do it all over again!!! Hope you'll join us!!! Its going to be GREAT!!!
Let's Go Have Some Fun!

Hi Everyone,
Welcome back! Today's adventure session was a little bit different than the normal session I had planned and I can guarantee you, everyone had a great time today! We were going to do a little bit more snorkeling in the morning and then an island romp later but when I saw that the tide was extremely low, I decided to change things up a bit. We made a quick trip to the sandbar just to check things out and see what we might find. AdventureCarolyn and Jordyn wanted to find some Baby Ear snails so we searched the dry bar till we found their indicative cracks in the sand that let us know the snails were just about to pop out into the open. We collected a few to observe and talk about, then released them a few minutes later into deeper water. It is amazing how fast they can disappear right before your eyes! Now you see them, now you don't. Just great to watch them go! The hundreds of fighting conchs, blue crabs and mantis shrimp were still there but we decided to let them be and head to Little Munyon Island instead to do some seine netting in the shallows.
When we arrived the conditions were perfect for what I had in mind. It was dead low tide and would be incoming all day and I wasn't worried about getting the boat stuck in the shallows. And perfect for seine netting! We unloaded the gear out of the boat, brought a large plastic container and a couple of 5 gallon buckets and our masks and snorkels and headed to the south end of the island. AdventureBrian and I decided to make the first pull of the net. He followed me out into waste deep water and then we slowly pulled the net towards shore, keeping the lead line on the bottom and out in front to make a nice pocket. We gently pulled the net onto the beach and sorted thru all the fish, putting the unusual ones in a bucket and letting the rest go. I was amazed at the diversity of juvenile fish.
From the very first pull we found dozens of juvenile barracudas, hogfish, parrotfish, pipefish, grunts, snappers, mojarras, pinfish, tomtates, pink shrimp, grass shrimp, filefish, pufferfish, ballonfish, sea urchins. You name it, we just about found it. It was fabulous!!! We all discussed the importance of maintaining a healthy ecosystem including water quality, mangrove estuaries, grass flats, etc. and how the offshore reefs and fisheries benefited from this natural and delicate balance. As we took turns pulling the net it became obvious to all that the juvenile fish needed the grass beds and mangrove estuaries to provide food, shelter and protection from predators until they could reach a large enough size to move out to the reefs and survive. On one pull, Adventure Dakota, Brian and Jason found a beautiful pigmy seahorse. It was a full sized adult female about 3/4 of an inch in length and the only one I have ever seen here. It was a fabulous find!!! We all loved it! Thank you!!!
We put away the net, donned our snorkel gear and swam thru the shallow grass beds and found hundreds of short spined sea urchins. AdventureBrian even came up with a nice sized lobster molt and we new what that meant! Somewhere near by was a nice lobster but we never found him. The sea urchins came in all colors and sizes from bright pink to pure white. It was great to see so many! AdventureJordyn, Carolyn, Jason and Dakota spent a good bit of time trying to find the smallest one, while AdventureBrian and I went in search of the elusive 9 armed starfish. I showed him the type of sand and loose coarse shell they like to live in and we began to run our fingers thru the sand searching as we slowly swam back to the boat. It didn't take him long to find one or me either.
We were in the right spot!!! Everyone came over to check them out and admire them. We then took a few photos, brought one back in the live well to show the parents, and then let them go. We were busy non stop and were having so much fun we barely had time to eat a snack before we had to head back. Somehow the day had come to an end and we felt like we were just getting started. And yes, not one of us was ready to quit! We were just too busy having fun, enjoying ourselves and learning so much! Just the way I love it!!! Today was now over for us, but tomorrow will be another adventure waiting to happen. And we are all looking forward to it! Its fishing day!!!, and we know how much fun that is!!! Can't wait till tomorrow! I don't know about you, but we're going to have some Fun and catch some fish too!!!
See you soon on the return,

Hello all,
Just got back in and cleaned up from today's adventure! For this week I have a custom trip planned with an outdoor enthusiast, and an aspiring and inspiring young underwater photographer, Drew. It was a great day on the water and I was with great company! We had fabulous visibility, perfectly calm seas and the opportunity to explore some new areas. We had not been in the water more than a minute or two before we spotted a small nurse shark slowly foraging along the bottom below us. I watched as Adventure Drew zoomed in for the shot and hopefully will be rewarded for his efforts with a nice image. We continued down the rock jetty and stopped to photograph long-spined urchins, slate-pencil urchins, fire coral, Christmas tree worms, neon gobies, sea-weed blennies, bluehead wrasse, parrotfish, porkfish and an assortment of other tropical fishes. We gently captured a smooth trunkfish and a lobster barehanded and took turns taking a few photos before releasing them unharmed.
It was great to watch Drew go, and reminded me of the days when I was first learning underwater photography and how easy things seemed to be but how difficult they truly were. Even the very best photographers keep just a few from the hundreds they take and it reminded me of what I was told many years ago by John Shaw, one of the worlds best nature photographers of our time. I will never forget as it has come true so many times since then. He said, "I have learned from my mistakes and I can repeat them exactly" and when he came to describing how many images he kept out of how many he took he said, " I have about a 5% success rate and a 95% failure rate so if you can live with failure and still be happy, you too can be a wildlife photographer". I often laugh when I think of this, 25 years into being a professional freelance wildlife photographer, and how true that statement was. So Drew, don't let the missed images and lost opportunities get the best of you, have patience and determination and you will be rewarded. This I can guarantee! Underwater photography has been the most rewarding and frustrating thing I have ever done in my life, all at the same time! I wouldn't have it any other way, and I couldn't live without it . Good luck!!!, and show your friends only your very best stuff, and everyone will think everything you take comes out like that and go with it.
From here we left on our custom adventure to explore further down the beach along another rocky out cropping. As soon as we entered the water Adventure Drew called my attention to a nice school of reef squid and shortly after that we came upon a huge Barracuda sitting quietly in a "cleaning station" with his mouth agape. We watched as a juvenile French angelfish swam in and out of his mouth and gills, intent on cleaning away any parasites he could find. All I could think about was, "My what big teeth you have" It was fascinating and wonderful to watch!
As we snorkeled along the shallow reef I was amazed at the quantity of juvenile French Angelfish we saw. There had to be hundreds. The most I have ever seen here by far and I hope its a sign of good things to come. I watched as Drew photographed both mature and juvenile French Angelfish, spot tail pinfish, an assortment of parrotfish, more urchins and a beautiful young spotted moray free swimming along the reef in search of an easy meal. An unusual site to see in the daytime since they are mainly nocturnal. Adventure Drew discovered a bearded fireworm and was quick to learn how it got its name. Yep, reminded me of myself, just had to touch everything and learn the hard way. Right on Drew, been there, done that, and let me say, "I can feel your pain". I was a slow learner. Oh well…
From here time was running short, and we decided to call it a day and head back. Hopefully we will be rewarded with some nice images and video footage that we can share. Looking forward to tomorrow and a new day of discovery on our custom adventure session. I'm ready, How about you? Lets go have some fun!!!

Food retail shopping is evolving as consumers increasingly look for meals and menus over stock-ups. Basket size gets smaller, shopping trip frequency goes up and the items in the cart increasingly come from perimeter fresh departments. It's shopping for dinnertime.
We are witnessing the emergence of just-in-time food planning, a pattern of working to solve "What's for dinner?" at 5 p.m. with the intent to prepare and serve by 7 p.m. on the same day. Every insight study we see tends to agree that consumers generally don't know what's going to happen at dinner, the most important meal time of the day for most households, until they are within a few hours of sitting down to eat it.
Emergence of this food culture shift is due in part to e-commerce shopping, now on an upward trajectory at food retail. Projections keep changing every six months as analysts and pundits predict a tipping point is drawing closer. With these rapidly changing forecasts the neon handwriting is flashing on the wall: omnichannel shopping will be the norm for most households.
E-commerce will continue to dis-intermediate boxed, packaged, shippable foods that don't require hands-on, eye-on-it selection and where delivery convenience just, well, gets more convenient.
What are the biggest implications to merchandising and operations to meet the changing need?
For one, put yourself in the customer's shoes. Imagine navigating a 50,000-sq.-ft. store for five to nine items with the available time to manage aisle navigation already at a premium–you still need to get home and into the kitchen. Tick tock … can you sense the friction?
People are cooking; how can you help them?
We are witnessing a renaissance in North American kitchens. Consumers are voting daily at the cash register for their preference for fresh, real foods and prepared or semi-prepared dishes that will inevitably require some time at the stove. For some, this is a labour of love and inspiration. For them, cooking is a transcendent act of creativity.
Others believe it leads to a healthier meal, compared with some or all of the preparation managed by others. Why? Because there is more control at home over ingredient choices, preparation methods and portions.
What tools, direction and guidance can your store provide to aspiring home cooks?
Alleviate some of the stress with chef-inspired menus and meal plans.
Provide downloadable recipes with companion shopping lists at your website or social channels.
The wildly popular, so-called "tasty" short-form cooking video demonstrates dish preparation in super simple steps. These could be aired in a perimeter video kiosk as customers shop for ideas as well as food.
Create a range of meal ideas to satisfy the aspiring home chef who wants to exercise their culinary muscles, down to the 30 minutes-or-less crowd who need to get a satisfying meal on the table, stat.
Do you have a cooking-school experience on the drawing boards? If not, consider it. You're in the food inspiration business–not the selling of cans, boxes and bags business.
How can you help curate menu and right-now meal planning with rethinking the store footprint to put foods that go together within arms reach of each other? Easy-in and easy-out is the objective.
Think of the deli as a hub, and how to arrange fresh spokes around it that make "meal sense" and help put a menu within arm's reach.
You can take the guesswork out entirely with meal kits and provide the meal solution with a handle on top.
Provide an on-site vegetable butcher who can take produce selections and do the prep work for you–peel, slice and dice so you don't have to.
Do-it-for-me can be an increasingly important business as the choices and quality go up. This may require new talent in the commissary, new thinking around menus and operational changes designed to reduce shrink as prepared product selection becomes more robust.
Culinary talent will impact all of this, as consumers grow increasingly sophisticated in their quality expectations. Make great food, not good food.
As supermarkets refine the in-store experience and thus earn greater trust as a dependable and affordable solution to shop at 5 p.m. and dine at 7 p.m., customers are provided with more reasons to shop more often. The meal answer is going to go somewhere and you want it to be from you.

The Incredible Body of Jesus
2/03/2018 | Share this article: View CommentsBy Carl S ~
I used to be impressed by the gospel accounts of the resurrected Jesus, describing how his body differed from the one he had before he died. What I missed were the accounts of his pre-death body. It's a body capable of turning water into wine, a body sensitive to the extent of feeling when a woman touched the hem of its robe, a body being "transfigured." Even the spit coming from this body, when mixed with dust, restored sight to a blind man. The writers describe a body that cured illness, blindness, epilepsy, madness, and all diseases - merely by touch. It's a body that can restore life to the dead, a body that can walk on water.
This body of Jesus isn't a real body, it's a mystical body. It's the body of a fictitious god; a body consistent with St. Paul's creation of a Christ-redeemer. Becoming aware of this, we're faced with very important questions: Wouldn't such a body be indestructible and overcome any death, including crucifixion? Was the body of Jesus only "apparently killed," therefore, no claimed "resurrection" ever took place? If we take the scriptural writings at face value, we can conclude: his pre-death and post-death body are one and the same.
Those "good news" writers tell us their "evidence" is gone! How convenient.It was written: like an alien's body on a science fiction program, the Incredible Body of Jesus drifted away above the clouds, and he still lived! "He" wasn't real, though. Without oxygen, human life cannot exist. Those "good news" writers tell us their "evidence" is gone! How convenient. Trust them? Their "Word made flesh" never was real flesh; what remains are merely their words. Millions of humans have been taught their invented "Word" and his alleged words are undoubtedly true. Their spokesmen make sure the majority who hear those words are too lazy or too afraid to question them.
Millions of people, even today, believe they will be given a new body to inhabit after they die. There is no depth of thought in this belief. (As Epicurus pointed out, your body/brain/mind contains the experiences which you are; with a different body, you would not be your-self.) Believers hope their "new" body will be like that of the "risen" Jesus, freed from suffering both physical and psychological, and death itself. This is a grand delusion, one arrived at from blindly trusting their scriptures, with their rewards promised by a "god-man" in human form.
What about those gospel and epistle writers? Let's suppose you were an ignorant writer in ancient times, claiming to believe the end of the world was imminent. You could write the most fantastic stories, make the most tempting promises and predictions. You could make out like a bandit collecting admiration and monies by selling promises of another world majestically following the ending of this one. You'd take a gamble no one would be around to check them out! But then the end doesn't come. How can those who come after you "explain" that failure away and successfully distract the followers, like one distracts a crying infant? How
can you keep the hopes, reverence, and money coming in? A whole system had to be created to keep the good times rolling for the J.C. casinos. It's called "Christian tradition" - being nothing more than an amassed hearsay collection of "alternative facts."

Inspired by the entertaining sights and unique, carefree spirit of Venice, California, Fender created a soprano ukulele that captures its vibe - the Venice Soprano Ukulele. Thanks to its compact, comfortable body size, the Venice travels easily from the beach to the studio or jam room while retaining the classic, light sound that made the ukulele a "must-have" for today's players.
This soprano sized uke is crafted from Basswood top, back and sides with a Satin Cherry finish. The 13.6" scale, slim C shaped neck profile is comfortable to hold and easy to play, while the no-tie bridge makes changing strings a breeze compared to traditional ukulele bridges, which require special knotting. This ukulele's headstock replicates the Telecaster's iconic 4-in-line headstock shape for a dash of authentic Fender vibe.

Mexican Altura Coffee
If your heart goes out to the salivating peppery, blackened Chicken Quesadillas, tortillas, and tomato salsas before you place them in your mouth, you know how irresistibly fascinating Mexican cuisine can get. Mexico, the land of desperados, cowboys, lofty mountains, produces indigenous coffees, with the innate taste of the mountains and highlands that ascribes to the name Altura – the higher, the loftier in taste you savour in a cup of gourmet coffee.
Over a half million Mexican families consisting of small farm holders owning 1-5 hectares of land and some mid-size farmers with an average holding size of 25 hectares involve in the production of gourmet quality Arabica coffee beans to export approximately 5 billion bagfuls of beans every year. The inhabitant farmers of Veracruz, Chiapas, Oaxaca are closely tied to the organic farming habits and age-old traditional methods of cultivation, grounded to their ethnic roots and the cultural practices. Altura, the Spanish name for 'altitude' and also 'dignity' at some times, celebrates this truly Mexican spirit in its supreme quality beans that are washed, and mechanically de-pulped or de-mucilaged before they migrate to other lands for bulk trade. What you get is the essence of the lofty mountains of Mexico's central and southern provinces blended in each cup of Mexican Altura.
Taste characteristics
Altura is reputed for its mellow taste with no bitter punch or heaviness on the tongue! Grown in the small plantations of Mexican central and southern highlands, Altura or the 'high-grown' coffees know how to pamper your taste buds, and lift your spirits. These medium-bodied gourmet coffee beans, evoking mild, mellow taste on the sweeter side, coupled with a nutty undertone are considered one of the favourites of coffee enthusiasts. Altura varietal gives you a smooth brew with the hint of tropical fruits and roasted hazelnuts. The washed beans get slightly acidic edge and a clean finish which melts equally well with full-bodied beans. Those who are the fan of lighter roasts, medium textures, and mild flavours, would surely love this 'good morning' cuppa from Mexico, balancing the 'not too watery' and the 'lightly acidic' attributes with aplomb.
Mexican Altura Coffee Growing region
Not until the colonization in Mexico, coffee production gained its significance. Earlier, the focus was more on mining and excavating mineral resources which shoved coffee to the back seat. The highlands and the mountains of the central & southern parts of Mexico, rich in volcanic soils with cooler climate are perfect for specialty coffee production. These regions cradle more than hundred varieties of exquisite Arabica coffee beans, organically crafted in the regions of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Michoacán, and Vera Cruz. The high altitude conditions help the coffee beans to grow and mature slowly, to get the earthy taste these beans are famous for.
Altura coffee beans are harvested in the regions surrounding Chiapas and Oaxaca during the months of November through March, with the arrival period of May to June. More than 50% of the coffee beans are meant for domestic consumption, while the rest goes for wholesale exports.
Why Buy Mexican Altura Coffee
The crop researchers and coffee importers have credited Mexico as a potential coffee growing region, with perfect climatic conditions and elevations. Efforts are being made to improve the conditions for cultivation and protect the crops from leaf rust. In recent years, Mexico has been a prominent name in the export of gourmet coffees worldwide. The government in Mexico rates coffees grown at the mountains according to their altitudes. The Robusta varieties of Arabica coffees grown at lower altitudes are not that highly-rated and can be found at the local markets. What makes high-grown coffees so awesomely distinct is the complexity in their taste - the acidic notes merging with the sweetness of chocolate and toffee, with the floral, fruity and nutty aroma. Most of the Mexican Arabica Bourbon varieties are washed and de-pulped to boost acidity and body. That's how Altura gets its lofty and heavenly taste with a clean, smooth finish. The coffees are organically tested and have got Fair Trade certifications.
If you're fond of earthy aroma, you can explore organically grown certified Mexican Altura Coatepec coffees, introduced in the American markets by suppliers and distributors. Coffee cravers who love to experiment region-centric coffees and blends, would surely like these Mexican offerings in line with the Colombian counterparts, known for their well-balanced and smooth tastes.
You'll get a range of Mexican Altura Coatepec varietal and Mexican Altura Coatepec organic at reasonable deals, with handsome discounts from your online distributors.
So, if you like the taste of caffeine in your morning cuppa let Altura raise the perfect morning toast to you.

Each girl was paired up with a volunteer from Macquarie, so that they would learn how to operate a MicroBit and create a project together through the course of the hackathon.
In order to inspire the girls to consider a career in tech, we brought down trainers from Saturday Kids to conduct a workshop on programming the MicroBit as well as the hackathon in the later part of the session.
Not to be outdone, we saw the groups happily crafting out cool instruments to attach to their music creating MicroBits, whipping up a storm of creativity in design and technical skill.
