Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

Removed phrase[edit]
I removed the following phrase from the definition:
- for the purpose of providing charitable assistance ranging a broad spectrum of local or global concerns.
Someone might want to put it back, though maybe in a slightly different form. In order to raise funds, do you really have to "provide assistance over a broad spectrum of concerns"? — Daniel Brockman 11:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Week's Top Stories: Sept. 17 - 23, 2011
Significant Insured Losses in First Half 2011: At least nine natural catastrophes resulted in insured losses of more than USD1 billion during the first half of 2011. Five were related to tornadoes and severe weather in the United States, causing a combined insured loss of more than USD14 billion. The La Niña climate phenomenon helped create the necessary conditions for tornado formation (warm/humid air and strong south winds near the surface, with colder air and strong westerly winds in the upper atmosphere). A very strong jet stream also contributed to the favorable conditions. If considered a single event, the tornado losses in the second quarter would have ranked as the fifth most expensive disaster in U.S. history, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
Record Breaking Global Losses in First Half 2011: The first six months of 2011 saw heavy losses from an exceptional accumulation of global natural catastrophes. A series of powerful earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan, combined with multi-billion dollar payouts from tornadoes and floods in the United States and Australia, meant the (re)insurance sector experienced the most costly first half on record in accident-year terms. Insured losses of around USD70 billion are estimated for the period, which is more than five times higher than the first-half average for the past ten years and second only to the full 12-month loss of 2005.
Impact of Catastrophe Model Updates: Adding to the pressure on the market was the impact of a new U.S. hurricane model release by Risk Management Solutions (RMS). The launch of RMS version (v)11 in February created uncertainty. The upgrade resulted in inland risk estimates rising substantially due to slower dissipation rates for hurricanes and heavier damage for lower wind speed events. There has also been some debate on the storm surge component of the model. Combined with the high global losses and their impact on reinsurers' balance sheets, this had an effect on U.S. catastrophe pricing through the renewal season.
Guy Carpenter Addresses Insurer Strategies for Profitable Growth At Monte Carlo Rendez-Vous 2011: In its fourth annual press briefing held at the Reinsurance Rendez-Vous 2011 in Monte Carlo, Guy Carpenter & Company, LLC, the leading global risk and reinsurance specialist, identified and explored insurers' opportunities for growth in today's uncertain (re)insurance market.
Update: Typhoon Roke: Typhoon Roke made landfall near Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka Prefecture at around 05:00 UTC (14:00 local time) on September 21, killing at least six people and bringing powerful winds and heavy rain to the landfall region. Roke came ashore as a borderline category 1/category 2 typhoon, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).
Most Popular Keyword: typhoon roke
And, you may have missed…
Capital Management Strategies Forced to Mature: As with everything that happened last year, the (re)insurance industry's 2008 full-year financial results are open to interpretation. One could focus on the Guy Carpenter Global Reinsurance Composite's shareholders funds decline of USD19.7 billion - not to mention a total net loss of USD6.1 billion - or zero in on the fact that most of this came from unrealized investment losses and note that most companies showed underwriting profits. Either way, capital has been depleted, and the capital positions that carried us through 2008 are not around this year. More than ever, capital management should be a top priority for every bearer of risk.

As I'm sure you could tell from my last post, I used Thanksgiving as an excuse to go all out on the food front. When I was explaining the different recipes to my family over the course of the evening, the conversation kept circling back to the shepherd's pie.
I used one of my all-time favorite recipes for sweet potato shepherd's pie as the inspiration, but because I was also serving miso sweet potatoes with the meal, I traded the original topping for something a little different. It looks like regular mashed potatoes, but it's actually another one of my favorite recipes, and one I don't make nearly enough – mock mashed potatoes. Jazzed up with chives instead of parsley this time.
A lot of faux mashed potato recipes have a tendency to come out watery because of the cauliflower that's often used, but something magical happens when you combine cauliflower with cannellini beans. It's denser, richer, and all without any potatoes and very minimal oil (just a single tablespoon in the entire recipe). When I told my family that I used cauliflower and beans in the shepherd's pie, my brother kept searching his plate for pieces of the ingredients because he thought he was eating actual potatoes in the topping. I consider that a culinary success! It's the small things…
I used a seitan recipe from Vegan Yack Attack in the filling and just pan-fried the seitan before adding it to the vegetables to give it a nice crust. However, you could use chopped tempeh, tofu, your favorite legumes, or omit it entirely since the topping is fairly protein-rich.
The meal takes a little over an hour to come together because of the different components (topping, vegetable filling, and gravy), but the process is simple and the end result is one hundred percent worth it. Plus, casseroles mean leftovers and leftovers are the best!
- 1 Tbs. Olive Oil
- 2 Cloves of Garlic, sliced
- 1 Head of Cauliflower, roughly chopped
- 3 C. Cooked & Drained Cannellini Beans
- Scant ½ C. Vegetable Broth
- 2 Tbs. Dried Chives
- Salt & Pepper to Taste
- 1 Tbs. Olive Oil
- 3 Carrots
- 3 Parsnips
- 4 Celery Stalks
- 10 White Button Mushrooms (or Baby Bella)
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion
- 8 oz. Seitan, cut into bite-size pieces (Tempeh also works well)
- 1½ Tsp. Dried Thyme
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 1¼ C. Vegetable Stock
- 2 Tbs. Nutritional Yeast
- 1 Tbs. Bragg Liquid Aminos
- 1 Tbs. Spelt Flour (or Flour of choice)
- Begin by making the mock potato topping. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the sliced garlic, and cook until it's slightly browned. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
- Meanwhile, place 1-2 inches of water in a large pot and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Place the chopped cauliflower in a steam basket in the pot. Cover and steam until it's fork tender (about 10-15 minutes).
- In a food processor, combine the garlic-infused oil, cauliflower, cannellini beans, vegetable broth, and chives, and puree until mostly smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed, and season it with salt and pepper.
- Set the cauliflower and bean topping aside while you prepare the filling.
- Chop the carrots, parsnips, celery, mushrooms, and onion into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat, and once hot, add the chopped vegetables. Saute the vegetables in the olive oil for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
- While the vegetables are cooking, in a small bowl, prepare the gravy by combining the vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, liquid aminos, and flour. Whisk the mixture until the flour is well-incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Once the vegetables are tender, add the seitan and gravy and continue to saute on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the vegetable filling and gravy to a deep casserole dish.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mashed cauliflower and bean topping over the filling and spread it out with a spatula.
- Make some small peaks and valleys in the topping so it will brown a bit on the peaks.
- Broil the dish on low for 15 minutes.
- Remove and enjoy!
You can sub in something like tofu, lentils, or chickpeas in place of the seitan or tempeh. However, the topping is relatively high in protein from the cannellini beans, so you can also omit this entirely and simply use vegetables.

As we motored from Killarney northward toward Galway, we stopped in several small towns whose only "claim to fame" might be the fact that they still used a few thatched roofs on their museum or gift shop. It became a bit of a joke that we were on the "ABC tour," which stands for either "Another Bloody Cathedral" or "Another Bloody Castle."
I didn't mind a bit. For many years, I taught 7th graders about the middle ages, and the castles with "turrets" "portcullis," "murder holes," "arrow loops" and "great halls." It felt like I was back in the classroom, and appreciated the extra enhancements my good memory afforded me. (Geez, I'll start sounding like I'm in the middle ages if I'm not careful!)
I enjoyed looking at the main streets of small towns, all the businesses aligned along the roadway, sharing a wall on each side with another business. Quaint, and functional, the differences becoming apparent when you saw the bright colors of the independent buildings.
Just west of Limerick we came to Bunratty, which is a stereotypical castle tourist trap, but it was a fun stop nevertheless. Built like a small settlement within the castle walls, it's "possible" that William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, may have slept there as an infant.
I spent some time wandering the courtyards of this "living" museum, talking with the man who made the field plows, and the teens tending the "authentic" settlement animals.
The great hall smelled pretty authentic, with peat fires keeping the place from getting too cold, and the pungent order was one I will not soon forget. Not unpleasant, but definitely not something I'd smelled before.
Lunch was always "on our own," and I found a sausage wrapped in pastry, and a "mystery meat" and cheese dough-wrapped, hand-held pie kind of thing. This particular sausage wasn't to my liking at all, but the meaty pastry was just fine.
We used Killarney as our "jumping off place" for the next two nights. I was glad for a short reprieve to the daily directive of "Bags out at 7!" but breakfast and departure times stayed relatively the same.
Our first morning, we were treated to a "jaunting car" ride through the Killarney National Park (no cars allowed). A jaunting car is a horse-drawn carriage, and ours held eight passengers. The driver, called a jarvey, keeps the patter going constantly, talking about the flora, fauna, and history of the place. He's also quite the comedian, or so he thinks, and I heard interesting catch-phrases and jokes, most of which I have thankfully forgotten.
A sample of the jarvey's patter: "He's as free of brains as a mud turtle is of feathers." And "I got a fine last week for running over a La-Pree-Shun in a National Park." (Leprechaun).
The Ring of Kerry (actually the Ivernagh Peninsula) is one of the many peninsulas that extend from the southern tip of Ireland, like toes on a foot. Each is close to 50 miles long, so the driving loops are about 100 miles. On Kerry, the motor coach drivers have agreed to drive in a counter-clockwise direction, and on the Dingle Peninsula, they travel clockwise. If you saw the width of the roads, you'd understand why this is important!
The scenery is spectacular, although the curvy road reminds me of the Road to Hana on Maui, and is almost as nausea-inducing! In Waterville, we saw a statue of Charlie Chaplin. He reportedly liked to catch fish there, and gave them to the chef to prepare for dinner.
We had lunch overlooking a spectacular view, with "Michael Skellig" in the distant background. Skellig means rock, or island… Michael Skellig is where the final scene from the last Star Wars movie was filmed… You know, where the camera panned around and around the jagged cliffs, then zeroed in on the hooded man standing in the wind… then he turned and we are treated to one short clip of Luke Skywalker (who will undoubtedly be in the next movie!)
And YES! I bought the t-shirt!
Charles De Gaulle liked to fish in Sneem. It's a colorful town (many of them are) and obviously caters to the tourist trade as their main source of income.
This stop reminded me a little of the amazing Butchart Gardens in British Columbia, but without all the flowers, and with the addition of a medieval castle.
I know that sounds silly, but imagine groomed walkways meandering through trees "dressed" in colorful knitted and crocheted "trunk wraps." Seriously! I thought maybe it was to keep the infamous red stags from stripping the bark of the young trees as they scraped the velvet off their antlers, but I found out that the "tree scarves" are actually a part of the Cork Textiles network recent art installation. (Apparently, "yarn bombing" is a world-wide phenomena… Google it!)
This "garden," like Butchart, is really a series of unique areas and hidden visual treasures, a true oasis for weary tourists. Unfortunately, it's so spread out, the hike from ticket booth to castle necessitated several rest stops. Fortunately, there are plenty of gracefully curved cement benches to sit on!
The base of the castle itself has many cubbyholes and caverns that beckon the explorer. And on the final climb to the tower, a young Irish woman, dressed in green velvet, played the familiar tunes of "Danny Boy" and "Molly Malone" on a violin. I encouraged her to play the theme from Star Wars, as that garners good tips for the grandson of a friend of mine at Saturday markets. She good naturedly had me hum a few bars, then played a little of it, causing many laughs from the tourists and an influx of coins to her open violin case.
Once I made the "final" climb to the castle, I knew there were 127 stone steps, spiraling upward inside the tower. If you wanted to "Kiss the Stone of Eloquence," this was your chance. I watched as my fellow travelers were bent over backwards (literally) so they could press their lips to the slimy stone that was "washed off" when the young man "assisting" the contortion of the tourists threw a bucket of water at it.
Thanks but no thanks. Even though I don't have the "photo and certificate" to prove it, I'm pretty sure everyone who knows me would concur that I ALREADY have the gift of gab, thank you very much!
NOTE: My photos do not do this lovely place justice. Here's a link for more info: http://www.blarneycastle.ie/
We drove through miles of green rolling hills and pasture land along the southwest coast from Waterford to Cobh, a delightful little port town with a natural big deep harbor. From 1848 to 1950, six million Irish emigrated to other parts of the world. Two and a half million of them departed through Cobh.
Now, I bet you think Queenstown was the last port of call for the ill-fated Titanic, right? (Yep, this is a trick question.)
From 1850 until the late 1920s, this seaport located on the south coast of County Cork DID go by the name Queenstown, named to commemorate a visit from Queen Victoria, but today it's known as Cobh (pronounced like "Cove" as it is a Gaelic, which has pronunciations that make absolutely no sense to me). Located on the south side of Great Island, it is the home of Ireland's only dedicated cruise terminal.
When the RMS Titanic sailed away in 1912, the last thing anyone saw of Ireland was the spire of the cathedral above the town—the same as for all ships leaving decades before and after.
When Ellis Island opened on January 1, 1892, the first passenger processed through the immigration station was a 15-year-old Irish girl named Annie Moore. There is a statue of her and her two brothers near the historical center in Cobh.
At the historical center, there's a funky little museum, a café, and a few gift shops with surprisingly reasonable prices. Even Waterford Crystal is for sale here, and at deeper discounts than at the factory!
Believe it or not, there is more to Waterford than crystal.
Waterford is the oldest city in Ireland, originally settled by the Vikings. They showed up in the 9th century, and established a valuable seaport in Southeast Ireland. Before that, the Irish in this area were predominantly nomads and shepherds and had no permanent housing.
The Anglo-Normans invaded in the 12th century. In 1171, English King Henry II showed up to make sure the people there would follow his lead. Prince John (later King John) showed up in 1205 and gave the city its first charter, setting up the city government.
I can't quite remember the story of Strongbow, and how he showed up and laid claim to things that were not there to be "claimed," but my stomach was growling and I wasn't too focused on what our guide was saying, although I was very impressed by the fact that he's been on the History Channel numerous times.
We'd had only a half hour's rest before setting off on "The Viking Mile," a walking tour of the area right around our hotel in the waterfront. (We stayed at The Tower, if you want to google it.)
Fortunately, we didn't have to walk a whole mile before settling in at the Munster Bar, named after King Munster, for tonight's special dinner. But we did have to pay tribute to Holly and Glenn, representing Strongbow and his wife, before we got to go eat!

Amateurish Thoughts on Picking a Race SUP Paddle
The first time I ever stood erect on a windsurf board, sans sail, holding a paddle, was in 2007 in the outer banks, NC. It was a jiggered up canoe paddle. Even though it was longer than a normal canoe paddle it was too short to be effective for SUP. Plus, it was awkward and wiggly. As soon as the wind started to blow I put a sail back on the board and didn't touch a paddle for another year or so.
Later, confronted with a lot of windless conditions, I made some paddles of my own from cheap plastic kayak paddles and aluminum tubes from various sources, e.g., old pool dipnets. For the handles I used chunks of wood sawed into T shapes and duct taped on. Those got the job done but were a little heavy and wobbly and lacked the bent-back blade angle that I now know is important for efficient paddling. I also think I erred on the side of making the paddles too long.
I got my first real paddle when I got my first real paddleboard, an Angulo Surfa 10'4", in Massachusetts in 2011. I was going to buy a cheap adjustable aluminum and plastic paddle, but Josh Angulo sold me on a fixed-length carbon fiber paddle and I was glad for that. It was a lot lighter than anything I'd used before. The shape and angle of the paddle blade were good for efficiently grabbing water, in what I later learned was called the "catch" phase of the paddle stroke. I didn't know it at the time, but the Angulo paddle blade had elements that made it very forgiving: 1) A rounded outline and a moderate "aspect ratio" (not too short and wide, nor too long and narrow) made it easy to get in and out of the water. 2) A pronounced "dihedral" in the face of the blade prevented wobble during the "power" phase of the stroke. 3) An ample but not excessive blade surface area (97 in^2) helped get a solid catch. 4) An oval shaft facilitated a stable grip.
I was content with the Angulo paddle until I started racing in summer 2014. The first thing I thought about changing was the length of the shaft, which I had realized was a lot longer than most people my height were using. So I cut it down and and re-glued the handle such that I could reach up and grip the handle with a slightly bent elbow while standing the paddle on the ground. The shorter shaft helped me go faster by encouraging me to do more work with my body and legs instead of just whipping the long paddle around with my arms and shoulders.
Another thing that made me question whether my Angulo paddle was set up right for me was comparing my speeds with it to my speeds with a heavy "Epic" brand aluminum and plastic adjustable paddle that I'd bought so my wife could sup with me. (I'd give her the good paddle and take the bad one because I'm nice like that.) I found that even though the Epic paddle was heavier and felt slower, my speeds with it were indistinguishable from my speeds with the Angulo. I figured that might have been because the Epic had a really big, flat blade that helped me get a solid catch and stronger, more heavily-weighted stroke. I thought that if I could combine the light weight of the Angulo paddle with whatever aspects of shape made the heavy Epic paddle work well for me, I'd have a worthy upgrade. Towards that end I started trying out the demo paddles at CGT kayaks and paddleboards.
I tried a HippoStick AL 8.0, a HippoStick AL 8.5, and a Riviera Vantage 8.0. To be honest, my speeds with all three of those paddles were statistically indistinguishable from my speeds with the Angulo and the Epic. I.e., the amount that my speed varies just depending on how I'm feeling, the weather, and other random factors is more than my speed varied from the different paddles. (It's a common problem with testing SUP equipment- unless the benefits of the new equipment are huge, they're really hard to detect.) Even though I didn't have strong quantitative data to justify one paddle over the others, I had some "qualitative" data- my thoughts about how the paddles felt.
Hippostick 8.0: This one had a low aspect ratio and relatively small, flat blade. It was really easy to get in and out of the water, which would be good if you had a "fast cadence" paddling style. But it didn't seem to "catch" in the water very solidly, which was my complaint about the Angulo, so I ruled it out.
Hippostick 8.5: This paddle had a similar shape to the other Hippostick, but with LOTS more surface area. It had a great "catch" and also a pretty good "release" at the end of the stroke. I felt like I had great acceleration with this paddle. On my test run with it I went really fast for the first half of the course, then got wicked tired on the second part. Tired both aerobically and in my muscles. It might have just been from not pacing myself well, but I thought it might also be a symptom of the blade being too big for me to handle.
Riviera Vantage 8.0: This wasn't a miracle paddle or anything, but it suited me. I liked that it had a very solid catch, like the Hippostick 8.5, but had a somewhat smaller surface area and didn't seem to give me the muscle tiredness quite as bad. The only disadvantage was that it was a bit harder to withdraw cleanly from the water, maybe due to the squarish tip and other shape features that helped it get such a good catch. I bought this paddle and started using it all the time. Did it make me faster? Maybe. Sort-of. After a while. Perhaps by helping me get a good catch it encouraged me to develop a stronger pull, making better use of all my available strength, weight, and leverage. And perhaps by being lightweight it allowed me to whisk the paddle around quickly between strokes and get more strokes per minute.
Eh, I really don't know, though. Looking back over my data now it's very hard to see any consistent sign of one paddle being faster than another, even including the old heavy aluminum paddle that felt like crap. I think as long as the shaft isn't way too long or way too short, the handle is on straight, and you're able to get a good catch and a smooth stroke, your paddle is OK. Then again, maybe it's that I still haven't found the really perfect paddle match for me, and if I did find it I'd see an obvious speed benefit.
While the search for an obviously faster paddle has so far been inconclusive, I've tried a couple of things recently that I liked a lot even though I have no data on whether or not they actually made me faster. One was the Riviera "bump" paddle, which has a raised texture on the shaft so your hands don't slip as much when they get sweaty. Another grippy paddle I tried was a KeNalu paddle that has a "snakeskin" grip formed by partially exposed carbon cloth weave. Any kind of grip on the paddle is better than the totally smooth glossy finish on most of them.
Another thing I have NOT tried that might also help is a more flexible paddle shaft. According to some people the more flexible shaft is less fatiguing on your joints and muscles and can make you faster over the long run- Perhaps even over the short run.
If any of you readers have had big breakthroughs in your own paddle choices, I'd be curious to know, especially if you know for sure you found something that makes you faster.

I am a quickblade guy. I found the Trifecta 97in a great fit for most conditions. I'm 200lbs. And pretty strong and fit. its great for surf as well as race. It's designed to have a light catch and solid through the power phase. Something that has saved my joints. I've toyed with bigger blades and v-drives. Too much grip on the water for me. The better the grip on the water the more anaerobic your stroke becomes. I've found I can recover from aerobic fatigue with a few deep breaths. But anaerobic fatigue leads to a bonk.
So strength is certainly crucial, but your aerobic fitness is key. Also, more strokes per minute almost always translates to faster times. So keep that in mind. As for my own breakthrough, I often suffer from sweaty hands and grip fatigue. At the half way point of a race I always lose grip strength and often went over the handlebars when my bottom hand suddenly slips. My hand slides up the paddle shaft and my body goes in the drink! When I discovered using surf wax on my paddle shaft to add a soft but solid grip my racing and traing improved immediately. If you suffer from grip fatigue give it a shot. It was a game changer for me.
I'm sure any surf wax will due, but Onit Pro markets a formula made for paddle shafts.
Hope that helps! Have fun!

For the 13th year in a row Ashley Ramsden returns with this still so relevant story about greed, poverty, insights, dreams and redemption. Can we still learn from this wise tale? Is it possible in this world that seems to be more divided than ever to share, live together and listen to one another? The gap between haves and have-nots seems to widen. And the difference in what is true and not-true (anymore) is no longer distinguishable. This story brings it all down to the essence that by sharing and considering the other we can only gain. A wonderful way to start the season of good will! Let's share it!

WELCOME TO THE GOLFER'S REFERENCE TO NIAGARA GOLF

  HOME 	  St.Catharines 	  Niagara Falls 	  Welland 	  Fort Erie

  Port Colbourne 	  Niagara-On-The-Lake/Queenston 	  Pelham/Fonthill 	  Vineland/Lincoln

 With over 40 golf courses in the Niagara Region and many more being built, the Niagara Region is quickly becoming an ideal golf getaway. The region offers a variety of different courses, that suits all playing styles. As an avid player in the region, I am often frustrated when trying to decide which course to play.  Price  is one of the major reasons that influences a player's decision on what course to play. Most players want to know beforehand, what the green fees are, in order to budget properly. They don't want to have to make 5 different phone calls, in order to find out costs.

 Hence the development of this informative website. This site will help golfers in the region acquire important information quickly and will help allow them to spend more time on the course. This site will provide a list of:

 courses in the region

 their contact information

 their green fees (weekday and weekend- 9 & 18 holes)

 The prices will for simplicity, only list: Weekday (9 & 18 holes) rates and Weekend (9 & 18 holes) rates. These prices will be the standard prices, as we won't take into account any specials that might be occurring (i.e. spring rates, lunch specials, twilight deals, etc.). For information on specials you'll have to contact the individual course. These prices will be regularly checked and updated when required.

 This will be an ideal reference tool for all golfers in the Niagara Region and beyond, with lots of room for potential and growth.
 This site will definitely be a handy reference tool, that you'll want to bookmark.

|Notes for project on making sounds with objects.
Today I made a proposal to my MA group for the final project of the course. The focus of the project is to look at what is at the core of my interests as an artist- making sounds with objects- and make some detailed studies of particular objects while exploring their sound-making possibilities. This will be an attempt to get to the heart of what it is that I am trying to do with my work by stripping away all the many and various elements that go into and come out of the work and focus on the one that is most important to me. I am working towards a series of performances with objects and instruments that are about exploring the 'basic' idea of performing actions with objects with the intention of creating sounds. Of course this idea is not so basic as by giving myself restrictions and boundaries to work within and taking a hyper-focussed approach highlights the potential complexity and possibilities of going from the general to the specific. Also there are many questions raised about the focus on myself as the artist and performer and why this work must result in a live performance. I feel this project is a very personal one as it is important that I am bringing my own approach, idiosyncrasies, measure and sensitivity to the objects and the fact that it is a performance allows this to be seen and heard first hand. The audience will see the artist making decisions, deciding how, when and when not to act and hear the resulting sound. One thing I want to avoid is the focus on the artist as the 'master of ceremonies' the magician who is performing mystical acts. I want no illusions. One challenge is how to make the work interesting and engaging if it is apparently so simple in concept and execution without it becoming self -indulgent noodling or a dry demonstration exercise.

It seems that the cops in Hawke's Bay are more out of control than we have previously reported and it doesn't stop at Inspector Tania Kura it goes over her head.
Superintendent Sam Hoyle reached an all-time low in childish behaviour by serving a trespass notice on a Hawke's Bay man who is in the process of bringing civil proceedings against police. That document effectively prevents him from serving documents on police in the course of properly brought legal proceedings.
Here is yet another abuse of police powers in Hawke's Bay that is sanctioned from the man at the top himself.Holye is clearly unhappy that his carefully crafted image is dented when faced with court proceedings that could ultimately demonstrate just how inept a manager he really is.
It is not all that long ago that as a young police officer Hoyle was spending his days tearing up and down the beaches of Northland in a police vehicle under the guise of respectable policing, we are told it was actually nothing more than a boy racer mentality and later boasting to family and friends about his activities.
Even more recently he left Wanganui where he was Area Commander, after indulging himself in an affair that was the ultimate betrayal of both wife and family. In what is perhaps an interesting coincidence, Tania Kura spent part of her career in Wanganui. We can only but speculate on why she ended up working under Hoyle in Hawke's Bay.
Numerous attempts have been made to contact Sam Hoyle who would not respond to emails or phone calls so we turned to Police Commissioner Marshall for comment but still nothing.
It would seem police are remaining tight lipped about Hoyle's dummy spitting or their attempts to obstruct justice by way of making it difficult for a man to serve legal documents on police because quite simply they have no justification for those games.

Oracle is set to expand its governance and compliance offering with the acquisition of LogicalApps.
LogicalApps' software helps companies manage compliance with complex regulations. The software is embedded in enterprise applications and can prevent the misuse of customer data or financial fraud by, for example, preventing employees from processing unsigned requisitions or ensuring they don't inappropriately change financial information.
According to Oracle, a growing range of companies must comply with an increasing number of regulations, in addition to the financial requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, creating demand for compliance products.
LogicalApps' software is already optimised for use with Oracle applications and the company has made "hundreds" of deployments of the software, Oracle said.
The companies did not disclose financial details of the deal, which is expected to close next month.
Oracle will continue to support LogicalApps' customers after the acquisition and plans to continue to invest in development of the software, Oracle said.
The acquisition is in line with a strategy Oracle discussed when it released financial results in September. At the time, Oracle's CEO Larry Ellison said the company plans to look for continued growth in its applications business by selling a wider array of products mainly to existing large customers.
The strategy is different than that of some of Oracle's competitors which instead appear to be chasing smaller businesses with scaled-down versions of existing products, he said.

I work in a pretty masculine industry. My boss is a pretty manly guy.
When my ulcerative colitis was at it's worse and I'd dropped a crazy amount of weight and looked like death he took notice. He asked how it started and I said that I went to the doctor after not having a solid shit for over a month.
As I tried various treatments and medications he showed his concern in his own manly way.
I'd go into the bathroom and when I came out I'd see him standing nearby.
"Solid?" he'd ask.
I'd shake my head, no.
He'd give me a "Sorry buddy." and we'd go on with our workday.
Then, one day, I came out of the john and he said, hopefully, "Solid?"
I proudly nodded my head, affirmative.
He high fived me.
And throughout the day, whenever there was a quite moment I'd hear him cheer from his office, "SOLID!"

"There was just an AP article posted that found how Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me… I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on."
And now for my words on the subject. It doesn't take a linguistics expert to spot that Mrs. Clinton is equating "hard working Americans" with "white Americans". Apparently she has conceded the shiftless negro vote. Desperate times do indeed call for pathetic pleas for support, but Hillary should be smart enough to realize that making statements to guarantee an endorsement from the head of the KKK is not what it takes in this day and age to secure a national political nomination. Call Barack Obama an elitist all you want (Such an absurd claim. Simply look at the backgrounds of Barack and Hillary and then decide which one is actually more concerned about and at ease among people making less than 10 million dollars a year), but there is nothing wrong with being educated, cultured, healthy (last I checked, eating arugula was not one of the Seven Deadly Sins) and open minded, and certainly nothing noble about scraping the bottom of the barrell for people who enter a voting booth with little information to base their decision on beyond the race of the respective candidates. Yet I'll give Hill a pass. Perhaps she had, as her husband of all people would put it, another "senior moment" during an exhausting and increasingly frustrating campaign. Maybe she was under the duress of sniper fire while being interviewed. I won't implore Fox "News" (aka Blatantly Republican Network) and CNN to dedicate the same amount and degree of coverage to Clinton's bold statement as they did to Obama's "bittergate" or "pastorgate", or even as much air time as was given to such critical issues as flag lapels and bowling scores. The reason I'm being so magnaminous is because I don't believe people should vote against the candidate who they have been most effectively scared away from. I feel reasonably comfortable saying this because none of the candidates has the last name Bush. Everyone should support the nominee who inspires the most confidence that their own interests and strongest held beliefs will be supported by the upcoming presidency. If that person in your opinion happens to be Hillary Clinton or John McCain or Ralph Nader (Ralph is a candidate too, right?), then so be it. If it happens to be Barack Obama, congratulations on your display of common sense regardless of how hard working you are or what your melanin count happens to be.

School children growing their own food!
In St. Suzanne Haiti at the Notre Dame de Lourdes primary school, more than reading, writing and arithmatic is going on. With the severe food shortage, school director Sr. Adele decided to take matters into her own hands by teaching the children to grow their own food.
This program started with a little help from HBHH, but all of the work is done by the students who will reap the rewards of their labor. Imagine their delight to eat some of the vegetables that they have grown with their own hands!!
Yes, times are very tough in Haiti, but the future seems a little bit brighter when you watch this students learning to take care of themselves!

Due to today's stressful and hectic lifestyle our hearts might be at the risk of various disorders and thus it is important not only to keep the heart protected but also to keep it healthy.
So, here are a few simple tips to keep your heart strong and healthy:
Manage the weight
Maintain a balanced weight because if you get overweight then it might increase the risks of heart diseases. Be active and eat a healthy diet which includes lots of fruits and vegetables.
Eat healthy food
Avoid salty or high sodium food and put less salt while preparing food. Add lots of vegetables and fruits, legumes, wholegrain cereals, and nuts to your diet. Eating oily fish such as Tuna are the rich sources of Omega-3 fatty acids which boosts good cholesterol.
Exercise regularly
Exercising is as important and necessary as proper diet. Have a morning walk for at least 1 hour a day, else get some sort of exercises every day. Choose group activities such as dancing, yoga and aerobics which will combine both exercises and socializing. Make fitness a great fun, as being physically active will effectively reduce the chances of heart attack and other related diseases.
Stop smoking and limit alcohol
Heavy smoking and drinking also increases the chances of various heart diseases. It is good for your overall health to quit smoking and drinking.
- Get regular health tests
- Diabetes test
- Blood Pressure test
- Cholesterol level checks
And also go through other tests your certified doctor has recommended, because any uncontrolled disorders can damage the walls of artery and can lead to further heart issues.
Having Ayurvedic and herbal medicines such as Abana from Himalaya can also protect your heart from getting damaged. Abana from Himalaya is an Ayurvedic and an herbal medicine which maintains normal blood pressure (BP) level.
Benefits of Abana from Himalaya:
- Promotes good cholesterol (HDL)
- Normalizes the blood pressure levels
- Reduces the sensitivity of heart
- Cures all cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases
- Reduces bad cholesterol (LDL)
- Improves platelet adhesion
- Averts the heart from oxidative harm
- Keeps down the diastolic BP
Abana is a multi-dimensional cardio protective solution with no side effects if taken as per prescription. Also, do not forget to visit your doctor regularly. Visiting the doctor will keep you up to date about your overall health conditions. Take a pledge to keep your heart healthy and start to live a life full of health and happiness.

Rock Magnetism: Fundamentals and Frontiers is a comprehensive treatment of fine particle magnetism and the magnetic properties of rocks. Starting from atomic magnetism and magnetostatic principles, the authors explain why domains and micromagnetic structures form in ferromagnetic crystals and how these lead to magnetic memory in the form of thermal, chemical and other remanent magnetizations. The phenomenal stability of these magnetizations, providing a record of plate tectonic motions over millions of years, is explained by thermal activation theory. One chapter is devoted to practical tests of domain state and paleomagnetic stability; another deals with pseudo-single-domain magnetism. The final four chapters place magnetism in the context of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and extraterrestrial rocks. Rock Magnetism: Fundamentals and Frontiers will be of great value to graduate students and researchers in geophysics and geology, particularly in paleomagnetism and rock magnetism, as well as physicists and electrical engineers interested in fine-particle magnetism and magnetic recording.

"[...] I am not exaggerating when I say that Rock Magnetism: Fundamentals and Frontiers leaves the others in the dust [...] simply put, the work will remain definitive for the coming decade, if not longer."
"[...] fills an important gap in the literature by providing a dedicated text dealing with both theory and practice. The authors themselves have figured prominently in much of this research and are singularly well placed to compile this third book in the Cambridge Studies in Magnetism series [...] an essential companion to research workers in the fields of palaeomagnetism, geomagnetism and archaeomagnetism."
- J. D. A. Piper, Geology Magazine
"In Rock Magnetism: Fundamentals and Frontiers, David Dunlop and Özden Özdemir have successfully combined rigorous theoretical treatment of the fundamentals of rock magnetism with a necessarily more descriptive discussion of frontier areas in which all is not yet clear [...] This is an excellent, comprehensive text written by prominent researchers in rock magnetism. It will surely be an invaluable source for all workers in the field for a long time. The book is not only well written, but well produced, with fine diagrams and layout."
- Michael D. Fuller, Physics Today
"[...] the result of their labours is an authoritative and extremely comprehensive book. They are to be commended in breaking with the tradition of recent books on rock magnetism, by dealing with many of the practical details of the applications of rock magnetism (for example by describing many well-chosen palaeomagnetic demagnetization studies), so making the final four chapters useful and accessible to a wider audience [...] Dunlop and Özdemir's 573-page encyclopaedic work can be thoroughly recommended to postgraduate students of magnetism and the professional research worker alike."
- R. Thompson, University of Edinburgh, Contemporary Physics
"[...] the present book fills an important gap in the literature by providing a dedicated text dealing with both theory and practice. [...] The authors themselves have figured prominently in much of this research and are singularly well placed to compile this third book in the Cambridge Studies in Magnetism series. [...] The physical theory is comprehensively developed, but the non-numerate reader will nevertheless be able to glean essential information from this well-balanced and readable text."
- David Norman, Geological Magazine
"[...] if you have a serious interest in the field then the book is likely to be of considerable value"
- Duncan Woodcock, OUGS Journal
"Over the years, a number of textbooks on rock and mineral magnetism have appeared, but the Dunlop and Özdemir volume is the yardstick by which all others must be measured. It will undoubtedly become the standard reference for the next generation. By issuing this paperback version, to augment the extremely well-received original 1997 hardback version, the publishers have done a great service to the wide readership that can, and should, benefit from this excellent book [...] I strongly recommend it to the widest possible audience."
- Ted Evans, The Canadian Mineralogist

So. Twelve months later does the world still think Barack Obama is the messiah?
Well, no. Choose from any of the following – prevaricating over whether to send more troops into Afghanistan, the whole healthcare kerfuffle, the disappointing poll results in Virginia and New Jersey last week, the fact that he hasn't solved the Middle East conflict or saved the planet from global warming – you name it, Obama hasn't done it.
'Yes We Can' has become the rather less marketable, 'yes, maybe, probably not'.
There's nothing harder to beat than high expectations, and if November 2008 dealt Obama a resounding win, it also gave him a lot to live up to. Speculation aside, I don't think that the off-season elections can really be seen to have taken the temperature of the Obama presidency. Far more interesting will be the votes next November in the mid-terms, when a third of the Senate and all of the House will be going to the polls. Remember 2006, when Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats swept to victory? Turned out to be a fairly good reading of America's mood.
Likewise, that Obama hasn't actually yet achieved the exhaustive list of promises he proffered in his campaign is hardly surprising, and the yet in that sentence should not be ignored. Still, perhaps as a result of having a fixed term presidency, the media tends to view the first eighteen months as the only time a president will actually achieve anything, before he has to refocus his energies on re-election.
But is that really the reality? Well, history suggests it very well could be.
Consider what can probably be seen as the two most important examples of major domestic change in America over the last century; Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal and Lyndon Baines Johnson's Great Society.
In his first 100 days FDR put his foot down on the path to restoring economic viability with the Emergency Banking Act, as well as instating many of his notorious Alphabet Agencies, including the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA), the National Recovery Administration (NRA) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
Likewise, Johnson, catapulted into office after JFK was assassinated, had introduced by the following August several social welfare measures including the Economic Opportunity Act. In July 1964, after 75 days debate, segregation was outlawed by the Civil Rights Act. And the huge array of key domestic legislation that LBJ is remembered for (when he is remembered at all for his successes), all took place in the first session of Congress of 1965, just after he had been elected as president with a vast majority.
So too, with foreign policy. Harry Truman gave the go-ahead to drop the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki just months after assuming office and so ended the Pacific leg of the second World War.
Not that it was all smooth sailing from then on. With three and a bit more terms in charge, FDR did plenty more, doing battle with the Supreme Court and the Nazis to name but a few of his achievements. For LBJ it was a downward spiral into Vietnam, urban rioting and all manner of other disasters. For Truman, it was the narrowest of narrow victories in 1948.
But however you look at the rest of their presidential runs, the first year or so, the honeymoon period, was pretty darn important.
Conversely, bad things also happened in the first year or so to some presidents, and they stuck. Whether Ford really recovered from pardoning Nixon is debatable – but it certainly didn't win him enough support to win reelection. Everyone's favourite peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter, spent his first year antagonizing half the Democrats inside the beltway and trying to pass an unprecedented amount of legislation, which didn't win him any favours. His role in brokering the Camp David Accords in 1978 didn't keep him in office in 1980, when Ted Kennedy and then Ronald Reagan campaigned on an 'anyone but Carter' platform.
George Bush senior promised 'no new taxes' in his election campaign, and eighteen months later was embroiled in a bitter row with the Democrats that led to a tax raise and helped Clinton push him out of office in 1992. Triumph in the Gulf War in 1991 as his presidency was entering its third year couldn't help him keep power.
So does the first year really define the presidency from then on? Not really, when you look back from the vantage point of history.
Truman's legacy is as much successes like the Marshall Plan, or disasters like his firing of popular wartime hero General MacArthur during the Korean war. No matter LBJ's early successes, his name is synonymous with Vietnam. Regardless of his first year in office, Nixon's will be the Watergate presidency.
But isn't in interesting that the presidents who were markedly capable in their first eighteen months, the ones who fulfilled their campaign promises and made what must have been the tough calls, were the ones the voters offered a second term.
FDR, Truman, LBJ (a stretch since he only won the one election, but it was still technically two different terms), all got the thumbs up for four more years. Whatever we think of George W Bush, his decisive action going into Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11 had to play a part in his reelection.
And look at the ones who didn't excel from early. Since the 1940s, when the presidency took the shape it has today, Ford, Carter and George H W Bush have been the only single term presidents. See a pattern?
This is all generalization and represents a very simplistic analysis of these presidencies and the relevant elections. Reagan, who regualrly scores highly in popularity polls, had notable successes like his role in the end of the Cold War much later, while his first two years were not marked by many Reaganomic wonders. Equally, Clinton screwed up any number of times in his first few years in office (although the midterms of 1944 saw massive Republican gain under the auspices of Newt Gingrich's Contract with America, and Gingrich has been tipped as a possible 2012 candidate.)
Still, while its to early to call time on the Obama legacy, the lessons of history do beg the question; when is Obama going to get moving and follow up on his pledges.
Because the clock is ticking on the Obama Presidency. By this count, he only has another nine months.

New York Yankees: Derek Jeter Signs Three-Year, $51 Million Dollar DealDecember 7, 2010
The New York Yankees have officially announced that 36 year old star shortstop Derek Jeter, has signed a three year, $51 million contract to stay with the team through the 2013 season. The maximum Jeter could earn would be $65 million as a fourth year, incentive-based player option that has been added to the contract based on Jeter's performance over the first three years.
This deal comes on the backside of a great speculation about Jeter's future with the team and extensive negotiations between Jeter's agent, Casey Close, and the Yankees front office led by Hank Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman.
Jeter's negotiations with the team were tenuous and often tense since the end of the 2010 season. After initially requesting a larger deal that the final proposed to the superstar, the Yankees welcomed Jeter to test the free-agent market, but also reportedly told him that he should "drink some reality potion" in regards to his value on the open market.
According to the Yankees, at the center of the difficulties during negotiations was Jeter's failure to recognize that at his age the team was not in a position to offer a long-term extension, or a contract beyond a three-year period. Jeter was initially requesting a longer-term deal with a yearly payout similar to the ten year $189 million dollar contract the Yankees captain signed back in 2000.
Ultimately both the Yankees desire to continue to have Jeter's leadership in the clubhouse, and Jeter's desire to finish his career as a Yankee became deciding factors in the deal getting done.
While Jeter wanted to see a payday which would be equivalent to the salary he had been accustomed to over the past ten summers, it is likely that he became more aware that the bargaining leverage which he had in 2010 was not nearly the same leverage he had in 2000 as the negotiations dragged on.
Derek Jeter has become one of the faces of the New York Yankees, and of professional baseball during his hall-of-fame career. When you think of the Yankees, you think of Jeter. This is invaluable to the Yankees stature as one of the preeminent franchises in professional baseball.
The team made a great decision in meeting Jeter halfway and helping to ensure his legacy as one of the Yankee greats.

On Thursday, the Church of God recalls when Christ ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father, Almighty, and we received the promise of His return to judge the living and the dead.
It is often thought that Christ, having ascended and now invisible, is now far away from us and has left us to do all the work on earth. But the opposite is true. Jesus ascended because it is from Heaven that He can best accomplish His purposes on earth.
Had Jesus remained visible and walking among us, He could not have accomplished nearly so much as He has accomplished through the preaching of the Church, through Baptism and through the Lord's Supper. Had He remained on earth, it would have been impossible for many of us to have heard His voice and be called to Him. Our short life span and the limits of distance and travel would have meant that most of us would not hear the voice of our Shepherd calling us by name. It would have meant that Christ could not have baptized us and, thereby, given us new birth by water and the Word and brought us into the family of God.
But having ascended into heaven, He now fills all things. What's more, He has sent His Holy Spirit to work in and through the preaching of the good news that He has died and risen to rescue and redeem us from sin and eternal condemnation.
Now, Christ works in this world through those things that He has established to create and sustain His church – the preaching and teaching which He commissioned the Apostles to do as well as Baptism and the eating of His body and drinking of His blood.
Therefore, we take comfort and have peace in the knowledge that He is with us, just as He promised, "Lo, I am with you always," as He works through these means.
We invite everyone to join with us on Thursday, May 5, at 7:00 P.M. to hear of Christ's ongoing work that He accomplishes as He lives and reigns at the right hand of God to keep and sustain us in the true faith so that when He returns, we may be gathered with Him eternally.
For the spiritual health and well-being of those who do not regularly gather with us at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, we ask that Christians who are not members of Bethlehem or another congregation in formal fellowship with the Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod speak with our pastor before receiving the Lord's body and blood at our altar.

Free Homemade Dog Food Recipes
The current crisis in our pet food supply has many of us looking for homemade dog food recipes for our beloved pets. I have been cooking for our dog for many years and find that he likes mostly the same foods that we do. Each animal has his own preferences, just like we do. For instance, our Oscar will not eat tomatoes, but Bonnie loves them. Use these recipes as a starting place for homemade dog food recipes. Then, as you discover your pets preferences you can customize them more. One caution: you should not serve onion or chocolate to dogs as they contain substances that can be toxic to dogs.
Some veterinarians prefer raw meat for our pets. I prefer to cook the meat because of concerns over E Coli and other bacterial contamination. If you wish to use raw meat, do not use ground meat. The grinding process increases the possibility of contamination by providing more surface area for the bacteria to grow.
Canine Meat and Grain Menu
2 cups cooked brown rice
2/3 cup Lean beef
2 teaspoons lard -- or veggie oil
1/2 cup vegetables -- no onion*
Mix all together. You can serve the beef raw if you use chunks of beef. Do not serve ground beef raw, the grinding process increases the chances of bacterial contamination. Use any vegetables you like. You will find over time that your dog will leave any vegetables he does not like. Mix the above. Serve slightly warm, but not hot.
Chow Chow Chicken
You must remove the meat from the bones in this recipe. Chicken bones can easily splinter and cause choking problems in dogs.
2 chicken thighs -- or white meat
1 stalk celery -- sliced thick
3 carrot -- peeled and halved
2 small potatoes -- peeled and cubed
2 cups rice -- uncooked
Place chicken pieces in large pot. Cover with cold water (5 -6 cups). Add carrots, celery, and potatoes to water. Add salt to taste if you want. Cover and simmer on low heat about 2 hours until the chicken becomes tender. Add the rice, cover and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove soup from heat. Pull the chicken meat off the bone ( it will practically fall off), discard bones. Return shredded pieces to pot. Stir well. Let cool. Store in the refrigerator or freeze.
Meaty Dog Biscuits
Use beef, chicken or lamb strained baby food for these biscuits.
2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 to 10 tablespoons water
2 jars baby food meat, strained
Mix all ingredients together and knead for 3 min. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a dog bone shaped cookie cutter, and place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 min.
Makes approximately 2 dozen doggie biscuits
Bacon Bites for Dogs
6 slices cooked bacon -- crumbled
4 eggs -- well beaten
1/8 cup bacon grease
1 cup water
1/2 cup powdered milk -- non-fat
2 cup graham flour
2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup cornmeal
Mix ingredients with a strong spoon; drop heaping tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes. Turn off oven and leave cookies on baking sheet in the oven overnight to dry out.
Ace's Favorite Cheesy Dog Biscuits
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/4 pound margarine -- corn oil
1 clove garlic -- crushed
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup Milk -- or as needed
Grate the cheese into a bowl and let stand until it reaches room temperature. Cream the cheese with the softened margarine, garlic, salt and flour. Add enough milk to form into a ball.
Chill for 1/2 hour. Roll onto floured board. Cut into shapes and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until slightly brown, and firm.
Makes 2 to 3 dozen, depending on size.
I hope that these free dog food recipes will inspire you to cook safe and healthy food for your pet.

The BVPA, sponsored by Breakers Pool Bar, saw both leagues play out their 21st week of the campaign.
The reigning Super League champions Irish A have opened an 11-point lead at the top of the table over Comrades B, and with both teams playing each other next week, another win would put them at least a full match ahead of their nearest rivals.
At the bottom a number of teams are involved in their first ever relegation battle.
In the Premier League, it is all change as Sports D's short reign at the top ended as Breakers A returned to the top spot.
With only a few points separating the top three teams, more twists and turns can be expected in the inaugural Premier League run-in.
Super League
Anitsford Irish A 9 Seahorse B 3
Irish A recorded their 17th win from 19 games and remain top on 163 points. Seahorse B drop to eighth on 100 points.
Bedlington Station 7 Comrades B 5
Second against third saw Bedlington Station secure their 14th win and second against Comrades B this season. The match went to the final frame and the victory keeps Station in third on 142 points. Comrades B stay second on 152 points. Station's Andrew Robertson was the man of the match with three from three, team-mates Jason Watson and Albert Ridley were two from three. Comrades debutante Alan Yates was 100 per cent, winning both singles whilst team-mate Gary Wilson was two from three. Scotty Chisholm and Gary Wilson cleared the table in the first doubles after a foul from their opponents.
Comrades A 6 Sun Inn A 6
With only two points separating the teams in a close mid-table group, the teams could not be separated on the night after a hard fought draw. Comrades A remain fifth on 109 points and Sun A hold sixth on 107 points.
Newsham Side Club 4 Sports C 8
Sports C recorded their 12th win of the season with a solid win at Side Club, which means they retain fourth on 127 points. Side Club are at the wrong end of the table in tenth on 84 points and are eight points adrift of the team above the relegation zone.
Seahorse A 6 Anitsford Irish B 6
The two teams with the most draws played out an expected draw, which was each teams fourth of the season. Seahorse A moved up to seventh but have played a game more than their rivals. Irish B are one place above the relegation zone in ninth on 92 points. In a fluctuating match, Irish B led 4-2 only for Seahorse to take four frames in a row before Irish won both the Scotch doubles to seal the draw. Irish B's Paul Johnson was man of the match with three from three.
Sports B had their bye and results elsewhere have seen them drop to 11th on 82 points.
Premier League
Breakers C 7 Sports D 5
Breakers C have been one of the star teams in the second round of fixtures. A 7-5 home win against the league leaders is probably their best result of the season. Sports D dropped to second on 161 points, whilst the win helps Breakers C maintain fourth on the 140-point mark, and they are still in the hunt for a top three finish and promotion to the Super League. Sports D were 2-0 up after a break and dish from Darren Gurney, but that was as good as it got as Breakers C took seven of the next ten frames. Mac McPherson was the home team's star man with three from three while team-mates Paul Jobson and Glenn Brookes were both two from three. Sports D captain Phil Welch was two from three along with Darren Gurney.
Hastings Arms 5 Breakers B 7
Only four places and two points separate these two teams as the form book was turned upside down as Breakers B recorded their fifth win of the season. The result sees Hastings in seventh on 102 points, whilst Breakers B remain 11th on 92 points.
Percy Arms 6 South Beach Pub 6
Percy and South Beach played out the third 6-6 draw in the week. South Beach's recent improvement continued with their fifth draw of the season against fifth placed Percy. The result sees South Beach move up a place to eighth on 102 points, whilst the Percy dropped a place to sixth on 121 points. Kevin Sams, Paul Dodds and Connor Hickson were all two from three for Percy.
Port of Call 3 Cambois Club 9
The Prince of Wales move to their new venue at the Port of Call did not bring them their first victory, but the learning curve they are on will surely benefit them going forward. Cambois Club are on a hot streak in their last six games, winning four and drawing two to be the second best team in the form table. The nine points gained takes Cambois up a place to fifth on 121 points tied with Percy but with a better win ratio. Port of Call are 12th. Rory Mandor, Anthony Simpson and D Thain were all tied on three from three. A Thain also chipped in with a brace of points for the visitors. Trevor Sixsmith with two from three was the home team star player with Karl McNally taking their other point.
Sports A 3 Wharton Arms 9
After three draws in a row, Wharton got back to winning ways with a strong 9-3 success over a resilient Sports A, who had only lost one in the last five matches. Wharton remain third on 155 points following their 15th win of the campaign. Sports A drop to ninth on 101 points. Christopher Stone and David Young were the star men on the night with three from three, whilst team mate Freddy Chambers took two from three.
Sun Inn B 0 Breakers A 12
Breakers A produced a massive performance to whitewash their local neighbours in a Bedlington derby. Apart from the opening frame which Sun failed to take an opportunity, Breakers A's class saw them through in style. Robert Riley, Trevor Brewis and Stephen Carr were all three from three whilst team-mates Paul Merilees and captain Dan Patterson were two from two. The result saw the unbeaten Breakers A team return to the summit of the Premier League with 164 points. Sun B will have to lick their wounds and come back fighting next week after dropping to tenth on 98 points.
Away from league action, Breakers Pool Bar staged the first of three competitions in three months.
The opening event saw a host of BVPA players trying their hand at a blackball rules singles event.
Scotty Chisholm won the competition's £200 prize money, runner-up Chris Gill pocketed £100, whilst Ian Turner and Jason Watson won £50 each for making the semi-finals.
The next event on Saturday, March 12, will see the BVPA premier stars battle it out in the first ever BVPA Premier Singles title.
The trilogy of pool competitions concludes with another BVPA on Saturday, April 9, with 48 players competing on eight tables at the Sports Club, Comrades Club and the Seahorse.
