Adhering to the strictest of guidelines
Thinking out of the box and coming up with the unusual, or something different for guests is a great favourite of both Sue and Tom. Catering for those who often get forgotten about because of their dietary requirements and have to bring their own food, or worse still – go hungry!
Not on our watch.
With the experience of having spent over 10 years managing and cooking for a busy vegetarian restaurant, incorporating many other types of menu, Sue can easily ensure that everyone has something delicious to enjoy. Vegetarian cooking is one of her favourites.
Whilst she concedes Tom's canapés are the best, he concedes his Mum's vegetarian cooking is really most delicious, and he is a meat eater!
All our catering is backed up by the Government initiative of the Eat Out Eat Well award. A huge honour when Merrow Savouries was awarded the highest possible award – GOLD!!!!
So, are any of your guests:
- Wholly and strictly vegetarian? Or pescatarian?
- Vegan? coeliac? or need to avoid certain ingredients.
- Perhaps they have a nut, mustard or celery allergy? Did you know there are 14 common allergens and it is the law that insists caterers know all about them and if they are in their dishes. We know because we made the food ourselves!
- Perhaps one of your guests is pregnant and therefore needs to avoid certain dishes? Or is just feeling a little poorly and needs their tastebuds tempting?
- Or does someone simply just what a healthy alternative? Tom is exceptionally keen on keeping fit, strong and healthy, and knows more than anyone about healthy eating and its benefits.
Whatever your guests need. Just let us know and then be sure they will be offered delicious appropriate and suitable alternatives
We'll show them!
Vegetarian Events or just Something Different
It is surely a great pleasure to be able to feed any guest. But especially those who are usually unable to eat out really well – because of their dietary requirements.

Editorial: Politicians Pulling a Fast One on Public Records
Legislators should not be allowed to get away with quietly slipping changes in the state law into the annual budget, where they don't belong and might not even be noticed. However, this is exactly what is happening within the ranks of NC legislature.
From The Pilot:
Recently in Raleigh, it developed that an unidentified member of the N.C. Senate had misused the budget process by inappropriately inserting three changes to the state's public records law. The worst of these would allow law enforcement agencies to put a secrecy stamp on "any specific security information or detailed plans, patterns or practices to prevent or respond to criminal gang or organized illegal activity."
In English, what this little provision would seem to mean is that almost every police department could refuse to release to the public just about any kind of arrest report. This flies in the face of the state's model Public Records Law.
Newspapers and other media organizations are known for fighting aggressively to keep the public's business out in the public. But it is important to emphasize that it is not just journalists who benefit from such mandated openness. It is every person in the state who wants to know what kind of a job elected representatives and public employees are doing.
Members of the General Assembly who want to modify state law are free to propose such changes and debate them openly on the floor. But they should not be allowed to quietly slip them into a budget through a side door.
Dan NaberPar for the course for this slippery crew currently in power. No governance just radical changes done behind closed doors, last minute, and late at night. If what they keep trying to do in the shadows won't stand the scrutiny of daylight, then there is clearly something wrong with their intentions and proposals. They must be voted out district by district before the damage they are doing becomes permanent.

Picture: Ian Watkins - Former frontman of rock band Lostprophets Ian Watkins seen pictured back in 2010 holding a baby doll outside the stage door of...
The former stars of defunct Welsh rock group Lostprophets have returned to the spotlight as No Devotion to release a new single on Tuesday (01Jul14).
The Streets of Nowhere hitmakers split in October (13) shortly before their frontman Ian Watkins pleaded guilty to a string of sickening sex offences, including the attempted rape of a baby.
The singer was jailed for 35 years, and his former bandmates - Lee Gaze, Mike Lewis, Stuart Richardson, Jamie Oliver and Luke Johnson - have gone on to form a new group without him.
They returned as No Devotion, fronted by former Thursday star Geoff Rickly, and released their debut single, Stay, on Tuesday. They plan to head out on tour later this month (Jul14).

A master plan to allow local and foreign investors to have a stake in the energy and electricity sector is underway for the Yangon Region as power consumption continues to surge in the capital city.
Currently, the Union Government is almost fully responsible for the production of electricity while region and state governments are allowed to produce up to 30 megawatts of power.
However, as costs of power production continue to increase and consumption of energy in the Yangon Region – which accounts for almost half of all electricity produced across the country – grows, the need for a more sustainable energy plan is crucial.
The master plan will amend existing laws to allow local and foreign investors to have a stake in electricity production, transmission and distribution in the Yangon Region, said Yangon Region Chief Minister U Phyo Min Thein.
He said that the original energy laws were no longer sustainable as the government was selling electricity at half the actual electricity production cost.
U Phyo Min Thein said that the process of creating this new master plan will be kept open so that all stakeholders will be well-informed of its developments, adding that foreign investors will be invited to make their proposals.
As the cost of energy production continues to rise, industry experts have urged for alternative energy sources to be tapped into.
Reliance on renewable energy sources such as solar power, hydroelectric power and biomass should increase in the future in order to create a sustainable energy plan, said U Zaw Min Win, chair of Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI).
Last year, the government subsidised about K450 billion for electricity power distribution, repair of underground and overhead transmission lines and upgrading of sub-transmission stations.

E-bike type: Pedal assist/Throttle controlled
Pedelecs or Throttle controlled ebike?
There many ways how to look onto e-bike construction, which can cover lot of different demands for wide group of people .Ideally, e-bikes can be divided into two opposite groups. For those, who prefer pedalling and want only some minor e-bike assistance, are
Pedal assist e-bikes
. Pedal assist e-bikes are generally weaker, but also lighter and behave more like standard bikes. On other side, for those who don`t want pedal so much will probably choose stronger,
throttle controlled
e-bike,which can drive with only small or zero assistance of rider.
Wheels - When commuting, there are lot of stops and runs, so at this case its more convenient to have smaller wheels, which will improve acceleration. which are on mtb or folding bike. For long range trips is good to have light frame, which is easy to pedal on and of course thin tires, so preferred bikes are Trek or MTB
Battery - For long range is essential to have high capacity battery. More capacity means more weight, so I will prefer Limn02 over Lifepo4 in this case, because of weight. I dont recommend LiIon, although its very light, because of safety problems
Motor - Geared hub are usually smaller, lighter and slightly more energy efficient, so I would choose this type of hub for longer range trip. For commuting I would prefer Direct drive hubs for reliability purposes, but on other hand, geared hub have better acceleration, which can be convenient for commuters
Torque arm - For stronger ebike torque arm is absolutely necessary, it doesn`t matter if hub is placed at front or rear
Suspension - Good suspension system is really recommended for stronger bike, because at higher speeds you will probably feel every bump.
Position - Rear hub is a must for stronger bikes and high speeds. Having front hub on front can be very dangerous, because front fork couldn`t handle such strong forces. For pedelec-like bikes you can have front hub, but you should have strong fork. Don`t use aluminum forks, or you will risk dropout damage. Steel,fixed forks are recommended and don`t forget to install torque arm!
Brakes - Stronger, fast bike need really good braking system - remember that you will spend much more time at high speeds than on normal bike, and standard brake would be pushed to or over their limit. So i recommend choose best brakes you can afford - ideally good hydraulic, with bigger sized disc. For pedelecs bike with standard speed, V-brakes should be enough-if you want to save money or weight
Throttle - For throttle controlled ebike, on that you almost don`t pedal, more volts are needed. Minimum is 48v, at hilly area you may need more volts. For Pedelecs ebike it depends how much you want to pedal. 24 volts is minimum, for comfortable ride without sweat i would recommend 36v .It`s logical, that those who want "throttle controlled" ebike will probably choose Throttle or thumb regulators, which works same as on motorbike.
Terrain elevation: Flat terrain/Hilly terrain
Do you plan to ride mostly in flat or hilly terrain
This decision affect almost all ebike Parts. If you don't want to pedal too much,
stronger, bigger hub
is essential, because small hubs font have enough power and can be easily overheated , especially when riding long, steep slopes.
Same apply for battery
, Some battery types are not powerful enough for climbing steep hills. You should also invest to
good braking system
supported with
Regenerative braking
, which will be useful for long downhill ride.
Battery - Lifepo4 is a strong battery with high discharge rate, it will give amazing assistance in hilly area. Some other battery types can have problems at steep hills, they can overheat or loose power
Motor - Geared hub are usually better hill climbers. these hubs are slower, but stronger than DD hubs at same power, because of using internally planetary gears. Of course it depends how much want to pedal assist. But generally I think 500w is minimum for hill climbing, I recommend 750w+ if you want climb without sweat
Power - More Amps means more torque and power and that means better climbing ability. So at hilly area you need more amps.
Volts - Running on more volts means stronger e-bike . Although running on 36 volts can give quite respectable assistance to rider, At hilly area i recommend to use at least 48v
Offroad ability: Road only /Offroad
Road or off-road e-bike?
For off-roads use ebike should have good, sturdy construction. Bike should be well balanced. Full or front suspension is a must, good tires and strong disc brakes are also recommended.
Off-road ebike
should be lightweight, which is not as important factor for road only ebike
Wheels - On roads, unlike on normal bikes, smaller wheels are preferred because of acceleration. Because you don`t have to pedal so much as on standard bike, folding bike is a good option. Small wheels, portability, comfort of sitting - all of that will designate folding bike as ideal city-commuting bike.. At off-roads, a Mtb or Trek frame, good balanced bike with decent, puncture proof tires, seems to be best combination
Motor - Chain drive, should be best for off-road use, but i don't have any personal experience with that hub type.I would prefer DD hub instead of geared, because of better reliability. But you need decent power for slow ride in terrain when use DD hub
Voltage - Higher voltage would be usefull For riding at slow speeds, you can use throttle instead of shifting. But if shifting isnt problem for you, voltage doesnt matter
Power -More wats mean more power. Yes you can use 250w for offroads, but hub power can be very often helpfull in hard terrain, so i recommend more power here
Suspension - For off-road use, the front suspension is a must. Rear suspension is of course the best choice. For E-bikes, ebike weight is not such a big issue like on standard bike, so if the price is not a problem,don't wait and go for full suspended bike. Comfort of ride couldn`t be compared with nothing else.
Tires - For off-road use, good off-road tires are a must.Of course you can expect bigger friction and therefore energy consumption and shorter e-bike range. Good off-road tires not only improves bike traction, but tires can also have impact on riding comfort. Bigger sized tires (especially balloon) can absorb small shocks and bumps and can be used as an cheaper alternative of suspension.
Distance: Short range/Long range
How far do you want to travel?
There are many aspects that influences distance -
Amount of pedalling, weight, friction, wind conditions and temperature,speed
and - of course, ebike and it`s components. Basically there are two approaches how to reach long distance.. One approach to use more
ebike, with minimum ebike assistance. That ebike will use small lightweight components,its easy to pedal and it can go long distance mainly thanks to power of the rider. Second approach is to have heavier,
'throttle controlled'
ebike with huge, powerful battery with big capacity.That ebike can also go far, but it`s heavy and not so easy to pedal.. As usually, you can choose compromise between those two.
Wheels -When commuting, there are lot of stops and runs, so at this case its more convenient to have smaller wheels, which will improve acceleration. which are on mtb or folding bike. For long range trips is good to have light frame, which is easy to pedal on and of course thin tires, so preferred bikes are Trek or MTB
Battery -For long range is essential to have high capacity battery. More capacity means more weight, so I will prefer Limn02 over Lifepo4 in this case, because of weight. I don't recommend LiIon, although its very light, because of safety problems
Motor - Geared hub are usually smaller, lighter and slightly more energy efficient, so I would choose this type of hub for longer range trip. For commuting I would prefer Direct drive hubs for reliability purposes, but on other hand, geared hub have better acceleration, which can be convenient for commuters
Price factor: I prefer price/I prefer quality
Do you want invest less or more?
Price means quality at most of times. Its better to
avoid some of cheapest components
, there are lot of china manufacturers with really bad reputation.. most of ebike parts can be easily replaced ,so its possible to make compromise and save money on some parts.Don`t save on parts that can have influence on
(brakes,frame etc.) Also don`t try to save on most important (and most expensive) parts –
HUB and Battery
Motor -I would prefer quality DD or geared hub from well known manufacturer. Of course More power cost more. The most advanced, but also most expensive systems are probably Chain drive systems
Voltage -Lower voltage is cheaper, but also not as powerful. I generally don't recommend 24v systems, IMHO they are too week
Suspension - Rear suspension not only mean expensive frame,but can cause additional expenses, like special pannier for holding battery ( On some full suspension frame is not so easy to mount pannier that can hold heavier battery)
Battery - Don't try to save money on battery. Seal Acid is cheapest but really really heavy. Li-pol batteries can be dangerous and need special treatment. I`d recommend Buying good Lifepo4 or LimnO2 battery from respectable manufacturer.
is one of most problematic part. For example Lifepo4 battery needs quality Battery management system, which is responsible for battery health. If BMS don't work properly, one of battery cells, or whole battery can be damaged. Cheaper batteries can also have shorter life cycle than its proclaimed
Weight: light e-bike/Weight isn issue
Is weight of ebike important for you?
Generally said, E-bike Weight is not as important as standard bike weight, because
weight is compensated by engine power
.When standard bike weight over 15 kg, it`s considered as heavy. But ebike weight can 30 kg or more,and ebike will be still strong,fast machine. Instead of saving every gram on components, its better
invest to quality and reliability
components.. But overall weight can still be a problem for someone, it have impact on riding comfort and it also affect ebike portability.. There are two components which have biggest impact on ebike overall weight – HUB and Battery, so pick these component carefully.
Motor -Most lightweight is probably Chain drive, but some small geared hubs are really lightweight too. There can be a big difference in weight between small and bigger hubs. Most heavy are usually DD hubs.
Battery -Two factors have impact on battery weight – battery type and battery capacity. Most lightweight are Li-Pol batteries,followed by Limn-O2,Lifepo4. SLA batteries are really, really heavy! Difference in weight between front suspension and no suspension its very little. Full suspension have bigger impact on weight,but it still not big issue on ebike.
Frame - For slow pedelecs ebike its possible to have lightweight frame, but for stronger ,faster ebike its necessary to have a Quality, sturdy frame (ideally steel). Saving weight on this part can be dangerous.
Stealth factor: Stealth bike/Not a Stealth
Do you want to your ebike to look like standard bike?
There are some people who doesn't`t want their bike to be recognized as e-bike. They can have various reasons - someone doesn't`t want attract too much attention, someone want to 'cheat' real bikers. To built e-bike which is
indistinguishable from standard bike
is possible, but there are some disadvantages . Either you will spend more money for smaller, lighter components,or you will buy small but less powerful components. So i recommend to chose
some compromise
between stealth and performance.
Motor - Hub is one of most visible parts. Especially bigger hubs can attract people attention. Small geared hubs can be almost invisible, big Direct Drive hubs practically could`t be hidden. On other hand, Direct Drive hub is almost completely silent, in comparison to geared hubs that can be less or more noisy .
position - Generally front hubs are much more visible than hubs placed on rear. Smaller hub placed rear can be almost invisible. So use rear hub if you want to build stealth ebike.
Mounting difficuilty: Easy to mount/Mount isn`t issue
Do you want ebike to be mounted easily ?
Mounting ebike parts is
relatively easy task
. Even less technically skilled people should handle it without problems. Especially if you buy
e-bike kit
,where are all parts should fit together without problems, you will be sure that everything will work fine. If you want to plan to build fast bike and you are not technically skilled, i recommend to put ebike completion into hand of specialist. Safety is always on first place!
Motor - Both Direct drive and geared hubs are easy to mount on bike, especially if they are already mounted to wheel.Bigger and heavier hubs can be little bit more hard to manipulate with, because of their size and weight. Mounting chain drive, which is most complicated system, is only for really technically skilled e-bike enthusiasts.
Position - Even non technically people can easily convert their bike to e-bike. In that case would recommend to use front hub, which is very easy to mount. You can buy hub already mounted into wheel, so you can just change front wheel, mount controller and other small parts onto bike and connect the wires (mostly easy task), put battery onto rack and that's it. Mounting rear hub can be more complicated, especially if you have bigger, heavier hub, which is harder To manipulate. Also changing the tire when you have a defect can be problem.
Brakes - Some disc brakes can have problems with mounting on some types of hubs, especially on bigger, wider hubs. Most modern hubs should be mounted with disc brakes, but you have to be sure that HUB you want to buy is disc-brakes compatible.
Speed: Faster bike /Slower bike
How fast your ebike should be?
E-bikes can be as build fast, or maybe
very fast machines
. With good combination of components, ebike can compete with mopeds or maybe even cars. But you should always consider that this machine is based on 'standard bike' components, so you should pick components that can handle this speeds without problems, it`s better to have some reserve. You should also take in account that there are
speed limits for E-bikes
in some countries. It`s not problem to built ebike that achieve no-peddaling speed 50km/h or more, but always remember,
safety is first
and even if you have quality sturdy ebike-falling at high speeds can be deadly
Motor -Al tough you can drive at decent speed with geared hubs, their speed is limited. For achieving higher speeds (more than 35 km/h) its recommended to use Direct Drive Hubs, which can run much faster without problems (over 50 km/h)
battery -For achieving high speed you need strong battery with higher discharge rates. Lifepo 4 seems to be best solution here
Position - Rear positioned hub seems to be best and safest option for achieving higher speeds. Front hub, is not recommended for higher speeds, because front fork could`t handle such strong forces that strong hub produces. Also you couldn't have front suspension fork, which is uncomfortable for high speed ride.
Voltage -For achieving higher speeds you need more volts. For speeds higher than 30km/h is minimum 36 volt, for speeds over 50km/h you need 48 volt.
Torque - For fast ebike, strong torque arm is a must. Don't risk your life, safety should be always at first.
Weather conditions: Dry conditions/Wet conditions
Do you plan to ride in wet conditions?
As any high-voltage electric device, ebike electrical parts has to be carefully protected from water. Generally E-bikes can ride in wet conditions without problems, but ebike parts have to be prepared for this. Most of quality manufacturers produce parts that are waterproof, but it`s always better to find some info about specific part, if you are not sure. Most problematic parts can be
controller, battery and wiring
. Motor- Most of hubs are usually sealed, with no-holes or seams. Problems can be with sensored hubs, because hall-sensors can be damaged if water gets into hub. ";
Position - Rear or chain drive are recommended at wet conditions. Hub at front can have traction problems, which can be dangerous when accelerating or braking. Also lack of traction can be problematic when climbing steeper slopes.
Brakes - For wet conditions, Disc brakes (mechanic or hydraulic) are definitely much better choice than v-brakes.At wet conditions, V-brakes loosing braking abilities, and that's definitely not good for safety.
Tyres - At wet conditions Good, off-road tires can improve traction and it can save your bike from slippage. So for wet, rainy conditions ,bigger-sized ,good off-road tires are highly recommended.
Set position of rider
Position and size of rider are one of most important factors which can have influence on ebike speed and energy consumption.Especially on flat terrain,Wind resistance and Rolling Friction Coefficient are only forces that slow down a bike.
How much do you plan to pedal?
Means amount of energy that rider gives to ebike. More energy created by rider means longer distance can ebike achieve, also those who like pedal wouldn`t need such high capacity battery because energy consumption of ebike will be lower.
Select wind conditions in your area
Fact that ebike can helps rider against wind is one of best ebike advantages. But wind is one of forces that have strong impact on energy consumption, so at windy area you will probably need stronger bike.
Ebike restrictions:
As in any other transportation,there are rules and limitations for e-bikes,defined by law. That laws differ in different counties, they mostly restrict speed, hub power etc.. This limitations should improve safety, but IMHO in some of countries are rules so strict that they obstruct e-bikes boom. Custom-build ebikes, that don`t fit restrictions can still be used outside of road without any restriction in most of countries

Sheriff in Balloon Case Answers Critics
Since the boy, Falcon Heene, was found at home and investigators declared the whole saga a hoax by the boy's parents, the e-mails flooding Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden's e-mail inbox have turned to criticism of his actions in the case.
In his online newsletter Thursday - titled "Up, Up and Away" - Alderden writes that people sent e-mails from around the world, some of them calling him gullible, fat and bald with an over-inflated ego. They compared him to Barney Fife, the bumbling sheriff's deputy on the 1960s TV show "The Andy Griffiths Show."
Alderden conceded he's fat and bald. He disagreed with most of the rest.
Though he led a weekend news conference announcing his office was pursuing criminal charges against Richard and Mayumi Heene and then appeared on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday, Alderden said he really doesn't enjoy the media spotlight.
"In fact, I'm pretty ticked off that I had to spend my weekend dealing with them instead of some quality time in the saddle," Alderden wrote. "That said, sometimes the Sheriff just has to be the spokesperson instead of putting it off on the Press Information Officer. I did my best to put an end to the media circus and have refused to do any more interviews or morning TV shows, even turning down Dr. Phil."
Richard and Mayumi Heene of Fort Collins haven't been arrested yet, and have denied it was a publicity stunt. The Heenes appeared on ABC's "Wife Swap" late last year and again in March, and investigators said the couple wanted to use publicity from the balloon episode to get their own reality TV show.
Alderden said he might address criticism next week that he misled the media in the hours after the boy was found, when he told reporters that investigators still believed the Heenes were sincere. Alderden since has said he told reporters that because he didn't want the Heenes to be tipped off to the criminal investigation.
The semi-regular newsletter, "The Bull's-eye," is posted on a private site linked to the official sheriff's site. It carries the subtitle, "Straight Shooting from the Sheriff."
Alderden wrote that one onlooker's suggestion for bringing down the balloon involved multiple helicopters and a large net. Others suggested using blimps, skydivers, paragliders, and fishing hook and line.
Alderden thanked everyone who sent ideas to rescue the craft.
"Some suggestions were actually pretty sound. Others - not so sound," the sheriff wrote.

From the national UCU website:
In September 2017, approximately one-eighth of the research-active staff were sent letters warning that their positions might be in danger, including the invocation of Capability proceedings to remove them from their jobs. This represents an alarming increase in the use of Capability at Essex. It is evidence not of individual failure of academics but a system that creates failure. As the eminent sociologist C. Wright Mills argued, if there are 1-2 people unemployed in a city, we may look to their individual psychology for answers, but if it is 5-10% of the population, then it is a social not an individual problem.
This development is linked to the invention at Essex of an internal REF process, requiring all researchers to achieve 4 publications which judges in our departments believe to be 3* – two of them accepted by September 2017 – even before national REF targets had been set. We now know only one is required. Linking this setting of internal publication targets to job security is an unprecedented move, practically unique to Essex, and one that has led to a widely-perceived de-professionalisation of academics and job threats. It also represents mission creep: Capability procedures have never been systematically used for this before.
Another extremely serious issue, again unique to Essex, is the declaration by senior management that academics with probationary status are not "academic staff". This curious claim is not just a matter of semantics – it appears intended to deny probationers the protection of Ordinance 41 which covers procedures for capability, disciplinary, grievances, and redundancy that management cannot easily change, and guarantees academic freedom and "the principles of justice and fairness".
The national President of UCU, Joanna de Groot, when she visited Essex this month, expressed shock at this move and questioned the wisdom of the senior management failing to recognise probationary staff as "academic staff", given the possible impact this may have on hiring the best new staff in future. She rightly insisted probationers are certainly not fixed-term staff and are entitled to the same protections as other academics.

Natural resource envy
Being a conservationist, I'm on a bunch of email lists about conservation, natural resources, environmental protection.
Why and how groups send emails decrying natural resource companies, while happily using those same resources, like oil, coal, and natural gas, is beyond comprehension.
Oil and gas companies serve a demand by consumers who want their cars to run, their stoves to cook.
Coal powered electricity is ubiquitous. It runs hospitals and schools, as well as your home and place of business.
Somehow, in a twisted way, the companies supplying the power are "bad," and the consumers are off the hook. As if these companies operate in a vacuum.
Credibility suffers when you've got two or more standards for the same behavior. It's sad because environmental quality is important. My request to conservatives is to not dismissively abandon the field of battle, and don't let the far left define or frame the issue, either. And don't let the leftist groups get away with demonization of companies the world depends upon, unless those same groups are willing to generate their own power and transportation fuels.
No "severance tax," unless
A "severance tax" on deep shale gas would be on top of, in addition to, the Capital Stock and Franchise Tax, an astronomical Corporate Net Income Tax, and the Act 13 Impact Fee that is collected from wells and distributed to hosting counties.
Adding an additional tax, no matter what you call it, is stupid. It's bad public policy, it's bad government. Tax-and-spend officials always like spending other people's money. That's the worst sort of government.
A severance tax could make sense if one or all of the other taxes and fees were eliminated. Then there'd be balance. That's good public policy, good government.
If you want higher prices in your own house for many food items, grill gas, heating gas, etc. and you want to open up your own wallet, take out more money than you need to pay, and just donate it, OK. But don't demand that everyone else also dig deeper into their wallets for their money to cover your bad ideas. The severance tax will be passed on to the public with higher costs for lots of things.
Just leave it alone.
Oh hush, Rush
Rush Limbaugh is a hero. An outstanding analyst. And he takes clean air and water for granted. This frustrates me, because these two critical resources are not free. They are products of a healthy environment. Forests are lungs. Open land is a water filter. I love ya, Rush, but on this issue you're just not thinking hard enough.
Legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno won 409 genuine college games. No one can take that away from him, the players, the team staff, or the proud PSU alumni, like me.
Child molester Jerry Sandusky is a scumbag, but the football program had zero to do with his crimes. But it was the football program the NCAA punished, disproportionately to any other football program in American history. Using Sandusky's association (not employment) with the PSU football program, and Louis Freeh's horrendously unprofessional report (analyzed in detail on this site) to support its blitzkrieg assault on Penn State, the NCAA coerced PSU trustees and incompetent, spineless top PSU staff to sign the consent decree that unfairly punished the football program.
Enter the courts, where facts actually can matter. And thus we have courts that are correctly beginning to cast doubts on the entire NCAA punishment of PSU football. This week a court held that further inquiry is necessary to determine if the NCAA not only operated consistent with its own charter, but also consistent with the facts of the Sandusky case vis-a-vis PSU football.
Daylight is seeping in, and I do not believe that the NCAA will survive the exposure, or the application of basic logic and rules of fairness.
Joe Paterno, my hero, had 409 Wins to his credit. Those wins remain, no matter what, but hopefully they will soon be reinstated after basic due process for ALL of the victims of Sandusky's crimes.
What should happen in Arizona
The federal government is over-reacting, as usual, tossing cows off of long-time federal grazing land in Arizona, as it is now magically no good for grazing.
Apparently desert tortoises never got along with huge buffalo, which look and weigh a lot like cattle…but wait…the tortoises did get along with the buffalo. So it is tough to see what the US government needs to do this for.
It is certainly another Obama attack on self-reliant rural Americans.
It is certainly another opportunity for hopped-up federal agents to play cowboy with American citizens in their gunsights. They set up "First Amendment Zones" that are ridiculous to see, and they are arresting people trying to document how many valuable cattle (beef is at an all-time high now) the government stormtroopers are taking away.
It is a bad situation, like Ruby Ridge and Waco were unnecessarily bad situations.
You know what should happen? A posse of militia should go out there and throw the federal agents off the land. Have an armed stand-off. Show this heavy-handed government that we, the people, are not going to take it any more.
This sounds radical to you? Well, then, the Boston Tea Party, Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill were "radical," too.
C'este la revolution. C'este America.
You're liberal? I'm sorry for you
Liberals used to be intellectuals. They were people who thought things through, applied logic to stodgy old taken-for-granted conventional wisdom, and had new ideas as a result.
Then Political Correctness struck. A laundry list of politically correct things to say and believe arrived, and liberals stopped analyzing, stopped thinking.
Instead, liberals sought to impose that politically correct list on every person, business, institution, and place they could reach. Soon enough, liberals had captured academia, most foundations, and the media. And soon enough, those outlets began replicating the same old politically correct list of issues.
Being a liberal became a quest for power, for domination, for absolute control, so that The List could be imposed without debate. Debate became a shallow game: Mockery, sarcasm, a few dismissive remarks, and then the discussion is over.
And that is how liberals forgot how to think.
Making it worse is that liberals today are surrounded by a cocoon of academic and media sources that tell them over and over that they are right and politically correct. That these sources cannot win a fair fight in the market place of ideas, and instead resort to brute force from the get-go, should alert any thinking person that there is a problem.
Here in central Pennsylvania, a few years ago PennFuture tried to get a local weather man fired because he did not repeat the politically correct mantra on "global warming." That's right, they tried to fire him, silence him, punish him for his views, and thereby intimidate others who might share his views. The same thing has happened with Brendan Eich at Mozilla, Chautauqua Institution, and at countless other places. The mainstream media (ABCCBSNBCNPRMSNBCNYTWPLATimes etc.) is incredibly transparent in their partisan activism.
PennFuture, Mozilla, and Chautauqua Institution are not alone, nor are their actions brand new for liberal politics. But they do spell the end of liberal intellectualism, whereby leftists once sought to persuade others with logic and facts. Those days are long gone.
If you are a liberal today, I feel sorry for you. You have my sympathy, because you have forgotten how to think, especially for yourself.
Beating that dead horse? You bet
Religious freedom is specifically protected in the US Constitution's First Amendment. It is one of the hallmarks of American liberty, one of our claims to fame.
Enter liberalism AKA fascism.
If you are Brendan Eich, founder of Mozilla, and you believe in the Bible and you vote that way, and you donate money to causes and candidates who represent that view, why…you are FIRED. Yes, fired for your religious and political views.
If you are Elaine Huguenin of Elaine Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you are now in violation of a state law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual behavior. So Elaine was sued because she didn't want to photograph a gay wedding. Our super lame US Supreme Court refused to stand up for Elaine's rights.
Wedding cakes for same-sex couples have also become cause celebre.
So apparently it is now against the law to believe in the Bible, to follow the Bible, and to follow your religious conscience. It appears that it is now illegal to be against gay behavior. And it appears that you can be fired for being insufficiently supportive of gay behavior. Is it against the law to be against gay behavior?
My question is, Can a gay baker be compelled to make a birthday cake for an anti-gay activist? Like, say, anti-gay Westboro Baptist members?
Like so much of this issue, the whole thing stinks to high heaven of double standards. Tolerance for one should be tolerance for all. First Amendment rights are clearly under attack by the very fascists who proclaim themselves to be the most tolerant and open minded of all.
American rights are being lost, and I will keep beating on this dead horse, until it gets up and starts running like it used to. Giddy up!
Guns – Your individual right
Gun ownership is an individual right, not a "collective" right.
There is no such thing as a "collective" right in the American liberties enumerated in our Constitution.
If you think otherwise, you really must study the Constitution more. Local to the Harrisburg area is an organization that provides classes on Constitutional issues: http://reclaimliberty.com/
The "collective right" idea was ginned up out of thin air in the 1970s by anti-freedom activists. The US Supreme Court has rejected it twice, and there is not an honest scholar anywhere who believes in it.
The Bill of Rights is exactly that – a list of individual rights and liberties that belong to American citizens. No one can take them away. Whether you choose to exercise those rights, or not, is your choice.
Thank You to PA Leadership Conference
A big Thank You to the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference organizers, its speakers and moderators, and the hundreds of attendees who are taking time out of their days, livelihoods, and family commitments to gather together and work on rebuilding American and Pennsylvanian liberties.
I got a lot out of it today. Big Thank You to PA state senator Mike Folmer, whose passionate advocacy for individual liberties inspires so many other citizens to work twice as hard. Even those who disagree with the traditionalist movement respect the commitment we have to protecting EVERYONE'S rights, the opposite of the Left, which is constantly undermining civil liberties.
Fort Hood – A "Gun Free" Zone, Round II
If you want to see how effective "Gun Free" zones are, look at Fort Hood, now the scene of yet another massacre. This time, a deranged Soldier took advantage of disarmed military staff, and killed them in cold blood. He also wounded many more, before killing himself. All of his victims were disarmed, by Pentagon policy. Seems that the US military expects its staff to bear arms abroad, and to go unarmed at home. Why a serviceman cannot carry a sidearm on base is beyond my understanding. It makes no sense, and leaves our personnel at risk.
Gun Free zones are wishful thinking. Without the ability to stand and fight, everyone in a Gun Free zone is a sitting duck. Whoever came up with this idea is a fool.

This years FAST Gobblers, Gospels and Guns weekend was one of its best yet ! Sure we missed Trent and a few others but there was always someone there to fill in. Many thanks go out to all the guys, but a special thanks is needed for Chris and Scott to make sure this great weekend was not cancelled. The show must go on and " Did It Ever " !!!!!
This weekend showed me that F.A.S.T. practices what it preaches. I watched men sharpening other men in there walk with God as well as how they shoot. My own kids got to witness it and this made me proud to be called Dad !
Sure I could have made this trip alot easier on myself by packing for one but this would have been a terrible mistake. I would have missed an exceptional moment to show my kids how much love God has for us and in turn how much love I have for them.
Through the last 7 years at Kensington with the Field and Stream Team I have realized how blessed I am to be a Father of 5. Sure, there are tough times but I now know that this privilege was a gift from God. Through him I am able to show my love for them and all others in my life. F.A.S.T. and Kensington Church can take credit for helping me realize this one!!!!!!!!!!!
Being a Father - To me its a responsibility that you are honored with by God to experience how much love he has for all of his children.

HR tech solutions to improve SME management
By Tim Aldred
HR software to aid recruitment, build relationships with staff, and organise everyday functions is helping small business owners to work more efficiently.
HR and recruitment are two areas where tech has made great advances in recent years, not only easing the burden of running a business, but ensuring that it stays legally compliant.
Here, three SMEs share how they've used HR tech to better manage their businesses.
Manage your business more efficiently Tracey Murphy, managing director of HR Savvy, says that organisations of any industry and size can benefit from specialist HR tools.
Opting for dedicated HR software, such as Ms Murphy's recommendation of breatheHR, over handwritten records and Excel spreadsheets saves time and money, with no more hunting for pieces of paper or manually handling holiday requests. Good software will also flag up issues such as poor attendance and give prompts if a business is not on point with its legal compliance.

"You know they can do something bad to you, since they`ve already done something bad to somebody else." Mike McLelland
Mike McLelland`s recent comment seems particularly profound and poignant in light of the fact that its prophetic meaning has come to pass. It`s as if whoever`s behind this took him up on his offer.
Connecting the dots, so far, has been unsuccessful; is there a specific, provable tie-in between Mark Hasse`s slaying and that of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McClelland and his wife Cynthia?
And what about Colorado prison official Tom Clements, who was killed at his home on March 19th? Is it related to the three cases in Kaufman County? For example, why was Clements` killer Evan Ebel traveling in North Texas? Is this just another odd coincidence?
One mutual item linking the two crime scenes, is that the killer or killers must have rung the doorbell of the homes. In the case of McLelland, his wife Cynthia must have answered the door, since that`s where she was lying when shot.
I see an eerie similarity in the MOs of Clements and of the McLellands; both were at home, relaxing with their families, and perhaps their defenses were down. Whoever ordered the hits probably knew this and realized these public officials were most vulnerable when at home.
Moreover, this maximizes the humiliation and also sends out a signal to other prosecutors in Texas (and elsewhere), we can get you wherever you are; a strong level of control (we have the upper hand), an iron fist is doled out.
Getting them at home where they are most vulnerable also sends out the greatest level of fear to other officials and to the public at large. Recent news stories reference a discrepancy between the number of times Cynthia was shot versus how many times Mike was shot.
Apparently, McLelland was shot as many as 20 times, and yet an unnamed federal source says Cynthia was only shot once. An earlier Fort Worth Star-Telegram report said there were multiple .223 caliber shell casings noticed near to both bodies.
I favor this earlier version of the crime scene, where brazen overkill from an automatic weapon is a better fit with the suggested MO (a rapid assassination by recruited gunmen). That`s my opinion of what went down; a new CNN story says the next door neighbors never heard anything.
It`s suggested, the shooting occurred late Friday night, when a neighbor further away did hear some reports discharged from a firearm. This could, perhaps, be explained by the way the sound projected out of this rather large McLelland home, which is near Forney, Texas.
I would think the assassins were in and out in a matter of minutes; this would help to explain why nobody much saw anything or heard anything. These are signs of a very carefully planned out execution; but who`s behind these killings (we, of course, want to know)?
One and the same CNN article (Neighbor of slain Texas prosecutor said he heard nothing unusual) has a few quotes from people who can put this into context, speaking with a parcel of authority. Frank Meeink (a former white supremacist skinhead) favors the theory that the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas is behind it, while Terry Pelz (a former Texas prison warden and expert on the ABT) favors one of the Mexican drug cartels, who apparently are behind a flourishing methamphetamine distribution-chain in that area. I believe Terry is on to something here; this looks more like the drug cartels to me.

Behold The World's First Wooden PS4
If you've ever looked at your already-sexy PS4 and fantasised about turning it into a wooden block of glory, then German manufacturer Balolo has the right kind of deal for you.
I sure sounded like an advertiser there. Anyway, the company is offering a genuine wooden cover that aims to make your console look rather stylish, if you're one of those who is strongly into earthy colours and believe you're all classy.
- You'll Be Able To Play (Expensive) PS2 Games On Your PS4 Now | 2 months ago
- Jessica Jones Disempowers Its Male Characters And The Effect Is Refreshing | 2 months ago
- Hell Is 30 000 Deathclaws Tearing Through Boston And It's Glorious | 2 months ago
- Sony Santa Monica Is Teasing Something Truly Strange | 2 months ago
Before you ask, it's not just a skin or set of decals, but a series of laser-cut 7mm thick panels that made of actual wood. So, you will have a woody PS4.
You have the option of choosing two different types for the lower body and the upper part of the console, and your range of selections include cherry, bamboo, walnut and zebra. Depending on how funky or classy you are of course. You're also able to get a custom engraving, but the idea is that each piece will be a one-of-a-kind console depending on your preferences.
Of course the catch is that it's expensive, since it's not your usual decal touch-up. It costs around €149.90, which is more or less $208 by itself. That means you'll be spending over two grand in South African Rands for the skin job. However, if you want it pre-applied to a PS4 console, rather than your existing one, it will set you back €599.90, or $832, which in Rands is OVER 9000!
I couldn't resist that. Shipping worldwide is included in the cost.

Google Logo officially released on May 2010 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)This week Google released it's Search Education pages to help students understand how to search Google effectively. At my recent library workshop I explained how Google Advanced Search has gone all out to try and capture the library market, to make searching more effective and reliable, using refiners, by age, lexile level, copyright, and Boolean logic. Now Google Search Education does way more! Literacy lessons help you meet core U.S standards (not Canadian), broken down into levels of ease, including beginner, intermediate and advanced. Understanding how to pick the right search terms, analysing search search results and refining searches are all part of excellent library training. Evaluating your credibility of your sources is also covered!
Teachers try out the Google A Day challenge and get your students excited about using technology in the classroom. I am going to spend this week exploring the lesson plans and hopefully you will too:)
Check out this video for more information.

"Family records relate that in about 1855 Mordello and Sarah [Armour Munson] built a long, rambling ranch house four bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. The story is told that one spring day they were walking through the woods when a wild turkey hen suddenly flew up from her nest. They decided then and there that this would be the location of their new home. It was about three-quarters of a mile to the west of Hard Castle [their first home at Bailey's Prairie] on their newly acquired 300 acres. The house backed up to Mill Bayou, and they named it Ridgely. Always careful and apprehensive of fire, they housed the kitchen in a separate building nearby, connected to the main house by a covered walkway. A smaller separate building with two rooms was added as Mordellos office, and this later became the boys room. Mordello and Sarah moved their family to the new home and lived there the rest of their lives. The house burned a few years after Mordellos death in 1903, and the lands were divided among their children in 1907. Almost all of these particular lands are still owned by their descendants today" [Williamson, The Munsons of Texas, an American Saga].

The best real estate-buying tips
With so many moving guides and loan calculators out there, one might think that purchasing a home is easy. Well, it's easy in the sense that you can overpay or purchase bad property without knowing. Read this article for some of the best real estate-buying tips around. Approach real estate through information.
When you are buying a home you should always try to make sure that there hasn't been any work done that didn't have a permit. Things like a extra room or a kitchen update need a permit, and if there wasn't one you may be the party that has to bring it up to code if it isn't. When buying, remember that some day you will be selling and the market may not be favourable to you then. Even if you can live with it, you may someday be forced to fix someone else's mistakes.
Going mobile?
Purchasing a home in a manufactured home park can seem like a money saving idea. Keep in mind that these parks often times carry large fees for new owners, as well as fees if you ever want to remove the home from the park. Read any and all materials on or about the park before you agree to a purchase.
Also, Southwestern Ontario is in a hurricane zone. You may want to consider something a little more substantial.
Get the inspection
When submitting an offer to purchase a home, always try to include a home inspection clause. This clause will allow you to have a qualified inspector check the home out and gives you the option of backing out of the offer if extensive problems are found. Hiring a qualified inspector is important, and can save you thousands of dollars.
Cosmetic issues are ok
Don't let the decor or minor cosmetic issues keep you from buying what would otherwise be your dream home. Simple home improvements like repainting, changing (or just shampooing) carpeting, or upgrading fittings and tiling, could turn something you find ugly, into something that feels like it was a custom built home just for you.
Look to the future
To make the best purchase decision when buying real estate you must consider what it will be like to live there for 10 or more years. Look at where the trend of the neighbourhood is going and is the house laid out to hold a larger family if yours expands during that time.
Live for free
Keep your mortgage payment low or non existent by buying a multiple family property. A duplex or larger will allow you to live on site and own your own home, while also collecting rent from tenants and paying most of or even all of your mortgage costs. You could live in your new home for free!
Never be a victim of overpriced or shoddy property. The tips you just read in the article above will help you avoid falling into the same trap that has snagged so many new homebuyers. If you can use this information, you can come out ahead on any real estate deal.

She's not a saint or a superhero. She's Mom.
This year, same as every other, I stood in the card aisle of a gift shop in a tunnel downtown, examining a pastel array of adoring Mother's Day greetings, and feeling lost.
With their ribbons and glitter and delicate curling script, most seemed to celebrate a lofty archetype of a mother that doesn't ring true to me.
There was the Saint Mom: "I truly believe you are the most amazing mother and woman in the entire world," gushed one card.
The Superhero Mom: "She can juggle a thousand things at once and make it look easy."
The Motivational Speaker Mom: "Because I had you to look up to, I never believed the stars were out of reach."
The truth is, my mother wasn't, and isn't, a saint, or a superhero, or a best friend, or an inexhaustible motivator. And she didn't make it look easy.
Watching her try to care for my two sisters and me, often on her own, while my dad was on the road for work, I learned early and I learned often how hard motherhood could be. I learned when she screamed through her teeth, when she cried in frustration, when she chased us through the house with a flyswatter, when she'd had enough of my incessant questions, and enough of my needy pleas for hugs.
But, as exhausted as she was, she kept going. She never left, she never drank too much, she never even failed to go all-out for a birthday party.
I've written plenty of columns about my father, Leroy, the soft-spoken truck driver whose example taught me the value of hard work, honesty and selfless dedication to family.
My mother, Connie, was always in the background of those columns, and every now and then, she'd remind me of that. I was reminded again the other day by a neighbor who was telling me how much he enjoyed the columns on my dad, then sheepishly asked, "and, is your mother still alive?"
Yes, she is. And she's still the heart of our family, even if this daddy's girl has been neglectful in saying so. She is still the one I call when I need a comforting recipe. She's the one who corrals us all together for Christmas. She's the one whose belly laugh and irreverent Texas-German sayings can have me cry-laughing in minutes.
But our relationship has never been easy. I'd like to say we're oil and water. But maybe we're both more piss and vinegar than we'd like to admit. At times, we've struggled to relate to each other.
A changing experience
She is my foil in many ways. With her petite stature, dark hair and olive complexion, the only reason I didn't believe the milkman jokes is because we have the exact same nose and faint birthmark between our eyes.
My mother is hard-headed. She believes Fox News is telling her the truth. And she has many fears I can't understand - of doctors, of airplanes, of unwashed pillows, of most anything that she perceives could end in death, injury or illness, which, let's face it, is almost anything.
While my mom stayed home when we were young, she eventually helped my dad run a restaurant and then worked as a teacher's aide, putting in long, physically demanding hours in special education classrooms. It was the perfect outlet for her creativity and her compassion for children, but the experience also changed her.
She'd come home wide-eyed from training sessions, regurgitating all she'd learned about child development and psychology. She became more patient. She listened more closely. She seemed to respect us, as individuals.
Amazing Oma
These days, as I watch her with my own children, so attentive and affectionate as she explains a phonics concept or cleans up a spill on her spotless floor, I feel a pang of envy. This Oma, I think, would have made an amazing Mom.
But I also feel proud. My mother didn't have the best example of parenting growing up, and her father died early. But she's an example of the profound effect education can have on our lives, if we let it.
I honor you, Mom
A few days ago, my mother was recounting how a friend of hers was congratulating her for some awards I'd won recently.
"Oh, I know I can't take any credit for that," she told me.
You're wrong, Mama. You gave me life. You read me my first book. You sat at the kitchen table and wrote country songs with me. And the love you cook into your homemade chicken soup inspired one of my first columns in high school.
I honor you today, and every mother who isn't perfect and polished and infinitely patient. This is a day to celebrate you for who you are, and not what some greeting card says you should be.
Mama, you did your best, and you did it out of love. And that's all I could ever ask.
