Describe the ways in which the methods of the Suffragists and Suffragettes were different
Although by 1905 women had a lot more rights they were still being denied the right to vote. Women had been campaigning within the National Union of Women' Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) for many years and were getting frustrated by their peaceful methods. Therefore, they broke away and formed the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) which used more militant action to get attention. The names Suffragists (for the peaceful protesters) and Suffragettes (for the more violent) were coined for them.
Suffragists used more organised methods, than the suffragettes, to get support and their message heard. The NUWSS brought together 500 local organisations with more than 50,000 members, arranged over 1300 meeting in 1877-78 alone and in 1894 they produced a petition with 250,000 signatures on it. They also wrote well thought out letters to Parliament. In 1908 the suffragists became more active as they organised a huge demonstration of women through Central London, some dressed up as powerful women figures such as Boadicca and Queen Elizabeth 1. 13 000 women attended. They did this because they could see how effectively it had worked for the suffragettes to begin with.
Their slogan was 'Voiceless London' which meant that half of London didn't have a say in how their county was run. This slogan made more people disposed to feel sympathetic towards their cause which meant they had more male members than the suffragettes.
There posters were well planned. One of them shows that convicts, lunatics and drunkards were able to keep their right to vote, whilst women could be mothers, nurses and doctors and still not be able to vote. They were trying to prove that they deserved the vote, which is where the main difference was between themselves and the suffragists. They also differed because they didn't mind how long it took to get the result, so long as they continued to work alongside the law and they didn't rely on propaganda in the way that the suffragettes did. They wished to work along side the law and the Liberal Party (who were supportive of them) in order to show that they deserved the vote.
There is an illustration by Bernard Partridge, showing plainly the differences of the suffragettes and suffragists called 'The Shrieking Sister'. In the picture there is clear evidence of suffragists trying to restrain suffragettes who were trying to work against that Liberals, who were in fact trying to help the movement. It shows how the suffragist deals with the situation calmly and the Suffragette is being violent and unreasonable.
Why did a campaign for women's suffrage develop in the years after 1970?
By the 1950s women had no legal existence and were not able to vote. All of their property or salary belonged to their father or husband, even their children were not rightfully theirs. Women were classed along side children and slaves as natural dependents on men. The main role of a woman was to marry a suitable husband, produce a large family and to concentrate on domestic life, unless they had to find work. A minority of women were not content with sitting at home all day embroidering and flower arranging, they became known as the Suffragists (peaceful protesters) or Suffragettes (more forceful) and they asked for women's suffrage and rights. There were a number of reasons why the campaign for women's suffrage developed in the years after 1970, the main one's being political, economic and social.
The 1st economic reason that helped to develop women's suffrage was that before 1870 all her possessions, injury compensation, salary and will was her husbands. However in 1870 and 1882 the Married Women's Property Acts were passed meaning that while a women was still living with her husband she could keep her earnings and property. Laws that benefited women continued to gather momentum because in 1886 the Married Women (Maintenance in case of desertion) Act was passed meaning that a women would not be left with nothing if her husband left her and he would have to pay her money. These new rights and equalities encouraged them to believe that they would be able to vote in the future.
The second key point that was economic was that women began to get jobs, even though it was being made increasingly harder to get into university. Previous to this they only had careers on the stage or as governess'. However in 1865 Elizabeth Garret Anderson became the first qualified women doctor in England and established a women's school for medicine. Emily Faithful was a publisher and printer of books. These women were good examples to other women who wanted more from life. More women were getting involved and it gave them an opportunity to show that they were smart and capable and deserved the vote.
I think that the main social reason that developed women's suffrage was the Education Act in 1870. It meant that it was compulsory for all children between the ages of five and twelve to be educated. It was also a political reason because more people had just become able to vote and so they needed to be taught how to vote wisely. It meant that women were beginning to be treated more like equals and they could show that they were just as clever as men.
In 1900 there was a war going on, and so in the general elections, while husbands were away, there are two examples of women voting for their husbands. Only 7 million out of a population of 42 million were able to vote and all but these two were men. This proved that women had the mental capacity to address people in public and make well argued points.
One person who was completely against women's suffrage was Queen Victoria, she believed they were poor and feeble, this encouraged men to believe it. However she died before women were given suffrage and her attitude made women more determined.
It was common for women to produce up to seven children during their lifetimes at great personal risk. However she could not own one of them up until the 1886 Guardianship of Infants Act came into place, meaning that a mother became a legal parent of her children if their father died. This showed again that women were getting more rights and so it was more probable that they could have the right to vote.
Men such as the novelist Henry Fielding and the Artist J.W Waterhouse believed that it was morally correct for women to vote. Fielding vilified bad husbands and Waterhouse's painting of the Lady of Shallot has many symbols regarding the campaign. This shows that women were getting more of a say in how a relationship was dictated, men were supportive, they were being treated more like equals and it encouraged them to believe they would be given the vote.
The main political reason was that women in New Zealand were able to vote in 1893. Women in Britain would want to emulate them especially as New Zealand was part of the British empire. It gave the idea to women to get involved and that it was possible to happen. Another key reason was that around 1870s - 90s women were able to vote in Local councils and school boards, however they were not able to be elected. Women were getting a say in decisions and they were showing they had the capacity to make well informed decisions.
In 1894 there was a petition for votes for women with 250,000 signatures on it. In 1897 the House of Commons voted in favour for votes for women however the bill got no further, in fact by 1914 they had put forward over 50 bills for women rights. Even though the laws were not being passed it gave women more hope and determination because they were being taken seriously by the men who mattered.
I believe that the most important reasons that contributed to women getting the vote were the increasing amounts of laws passed that made women more equal with men, such as being able to own their own property and earn a living. I also believe that giving young girls education was important in equalizing the sexes as men could realize that women were really able to decide how the country was run and they were just as clever and deserved the right to vote.

Mahlon Tuttle has been criss-crossing the western third of Kansas, on a recruiting mission.
He's hoping to expand the number of counties joining a consortium of counties in the home territory of the lesser prairie chicken, targeted for possible inclusion on the federal endangered species list.
"I'm not an expert on the chicken itself," Tuttle told Ellis County commissioners Tuesday evening. Tuttle serves as vice chairman of the Kansas Natural Resource Coalition.
He asked the commissioners to join with other western Kansas counties in a quest to ask the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to not list the bird as threatened.
Armed with a sheaf of documents and a pair of reports, Tuttle said participation carries with it a small cost, about $2,700.
"If you join, we'll have 30" counties, he said.
Commissioners didn't commit to joining or even signing a pair of resolutions, instead seeking more information on what is being proposed.
"We think the county commission coalition has a better conservation plan than the federal government," Tuttle said.
And he said Robin Jennison, the secretary of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, "is on our side."
He clarified that later, saying Jennison supports the idea of the counties banding together to come up with a plan.
KDWP&T, however, is part of a five-state coalition that's proposing its own conservation plan, including mitigation from the likes of oil and electric development in prairie chicken habitat.
After the meeting, Tuttle said it's not just the money he's after.
"If you join, I don't just want your money," he said of Ellis County. I want your input. I want your voice."
But the 29 other counties -- a number that has fluctuated as counties join and leave the group -- have racked up costs of about $80,000 to get a pair of studies completed.
They've only raised about $40,000, however, some of that coming from Kansas Electric Cooperatives.
Tuttle also asked Ellis commissioners to sign off on a pair of resolutions covering each of the two documents put together for the group.
One of the resolutions would adopt the findings included in the group's conservation, management and study plan, which contends the lesser prairie chicken "is not in immediate or long-term threat of extirpation, threatened throughout its range nor in jeopardy of genetic hybridization."
But the plan also calls for immediate conservation actions, studies and promoting conservation management to residents and landowners.
The second resolution would adopt a natural resource coordination plan and coalition.
The coordination plan is a bit more cumbersome inasmuch as it suggests the federal government is required to coordinate its actions with other governments, in this case county governments.
There have been, however, a number of counties that have agreed to sign both resolutions, which are to be presented to FWS Director Dan Ashe, if the group even gets the chance to meet with him.
It's also not yet known if either document will be accepted by FWS -- much less adopted -- because of timing, as the comment period on the listing has already expired.
Comments by the group already have been made in connection with the proposed listing of the lesser prairie chicken, but they hope to submit the rest of their study and resolutions for counties the birds inhabit.

Map Quest and Google Maps have become indispensable to me over the last few years.
I used to depend on the street maps I could purchase at the local retailer, but with the ever-changing landscape, they needed to be updated several times each year. Now, when trying to find a home or business, I just log on to find not only the location of that new street, but I also get turn-by-turn directions to get there in the shortest time.
It is said that we now live in a post-modern, post-church world that has no need of organized religion. And as a pastor, I know this is most certainly true because even people who call themselves Christian no longer see the need to attend church and worship services. And unfortunately, many who do attend church don't really follow though by living a Christian life outside the doors of the church building.
The good news is that just because we now live in a post-church culture, it does not mean that people are no longer searching for God and truth. The truth is that people, especially young people, are more hungry than ever to find spiritual truth in this messed up world, and they are searching everywhere for the truth.
One problem with all this is that the Bible is no longer viewed as God's Word by many in the church. People want to pick-and-choose the portions they believe. And, they want to pick-and-choose the things that God demands of his people.
Sin is no longer called sin. What was once sinful is now called choice, or a matter of conscience. In other words, what is right for me doesn't have to be right for you.
If one continues down this path long enough, the Bible will have no value or meaning at all. Either God's Word is God's Word and it means what it says or we should throw it out and do our own thing.
Unfortunately, many well-meaning people have already done this. This type of person thinks they are following God even though they are using the wrong map.
Can you imagine trying to get around in Miami with your Minneapolis street map? No matter how hard you tried, you would be hopelessly lost. If we are going to follow Christ, then we must use and read the map he has designed for us otherwise we will unknowingly take the wrong turn and end up hopelessly lost for all eternity.
Even though society and culture changes constantly, God does not. The Bible tells us that, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).
Many people want to focus solely on the grace of God (and I too, tend to lean more to His grace) and think that God will just overlook their sins. Yet, the apostle Paul made it clear that we cannot sin and think God's grace will just cover it up: "Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" (Romans 6:1-2).
As believers in Christ, we seek to live holy and pleasing lives to him. We read and study the Scriptures as often as we can in order to follow him and be the people he has called us to be. And, as we study the Scriptures, we will find that obeying God's laws is for our best and is meant to draw us closer to Him.
King David said it this way: "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night" (Psalm 1:1-2).
Of course, no one can live a perfect life. We all fall far short of God's demand for holiness. But thank God, when we make a wrong turn in life, God's road map His Law is right there to get us back on track. And as we confess and repent (make that u-turn to get back in the right direction), His Grace is right there restoring and renewing our lives through the forgiveness of sins and eternal life that comes through Jesus Christ!
It is such a blessing that God has not changed, and that he will never change! Maybe it's time to pull out the map and ask for directions.

A study conducted by Beal and Porter from the Adelaide Children's Hospital in South Australia found the single most important factor influencing the incidence of SIDS is the climate.
How is this so?
The potential reason being in colder months, parent's don't swaddle their newborn and then have loose cots that can potential pose a hazard for newborns. This risk can easily be taught and trained for parents.

Who Was St. Valentine?
So who was St. Valentine? How is it that he got his own holiday?
On February 14th, around 269 A.D., there was a priest in the city of Rome named Valentine, who refused to renounce his faith in Jesus Christ, was beaten with clubs, and later beheaded. This was during the reign of Claudius II, who fiercely persecuted the church.
St. Valentine's martyrdom was noble, to be sure, but what gives him specific connections to the sentiments of this holiday? One thing that St. Valentine was known for was marrying Christian couples, and giving aid to believers who were being persecuted under the Emperor. It becomes clear that one thing highly esteemed by Valentine was the institution of marriage given to humans by God. He saw it as valuable not because it was simply an ethical value, but because it points to a greater reality beyond itself: namely, Christ and His church.
A Picture of Something Greater
The great goal of God in the finished work of Christ on the cross is to bring people into everlasting union with Himself. As it is written, God says "I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion" (Hosea 2:18). This is what St. Valentine saw so clearly. He knew that the union between God and His people could not be broken, and was worth dying for. God brings husband and wife together to put this portrait of the covenant that He set up on display.
The unbreakable bond formed between Christ and His people is a bond that covers sin, brings forgiveness, and changes hearts. It is a steadfastness that persists even in our failures. It is a commitment that does not waver, but was sealed at the cross and set into motion in the resurrection. There comes a time when every person must put themselves on the line for what they believe about reality. St. Valentine was willing to die for this because this kind of love is worth dying for.

I first came across the band Motionless in White because the lovely Blue Blood babe Franccesca de Struct said she was going to be in a music video for them. The song is called "America" and is a catchy guitar-driven goth-industrial rant about how, with all the corruption in church and government, why is anyone looking at cute boys in spooky makeup. I mean, the point is that counterculture freaks are not the problem in the world. Obviously, there are plenty of good reasons to look at cute boys in spooky makeup. The music vid is directed by M. Shawn Crahan, better know as Clown 6 from Slipknot and he did a very fine job. I'm curious whether this is his directorial debut or if he has been directing for a while. The Motionless in White America mini-film includes hot rocker chicks, stylish goth bois, bad priests, bad politicians, Kynt (if, unlike me, you ever watched The Amazing Race), choke makeout action, candy cocaine, and circus bigtop motifs — Pretty much all the essentials. If you like this sort of thing in general, you will like this.

The Challenge
Little Secrets is a dark chocolate candies brand started by entrepreneur, Chris Mears, in Boulder, Colorado in 2013. Adults love the bold Little Secrets flavors and uncompromising mix of the best all-natural ingredients. But, launch packaging looked childish and fun, missing out on appetite appeal and adult cues.
Our Solution
Little Secrets has wildly delicious product, so our objective for the new packaging was to look as delicious as it tastes. As a better-for-you treat at a more expensive price point, it was critical to look premium and sophisticated. For off-pack and website communications, the keys were consistency and enabling the bright product colors and ingredient photography to pop.
Logo + Packaging Design
The new logo reflects their bold, cheeky and optimistic personality, and the bullseye stands out at shelf. Taking an editorial-inspired approach to photography, we developed top-down shots of spontaneously composed candy pieces and ingredients to create mouth-watering appetite appeal. The subtle "speech bubble" background pattern infuses the pack with some of the brand's playful personality, while the white color allows the photographic elements to pop.
In-Store Display
The in-store display design follows the same convention as the packaging with the brand bullseye standing front and center at the top of the structure. The side panels highlight the brand's personality in order to create a consistent brand experience to off-pack communications.
"[After the redesign] Little Secrets quickly quadrupled the number of stores it was in, to about 4,000, and national chains that once said no were now saying yes."
Entrepreneur Magazine
We redesigned a fully responsive site on WordPress to reflect the rebrand. The intent was to keep the website feeling as clean and modern as the packaging itself. To appeal to the target consumer, we also developed a series of playful photographs of the new packaging featured on the homepage to look like a social feed.
"I honestly could not be any happier about how it turned out. Everyone that has seen it is blown away. I can't wait for it to hit the market.....you guys really nailed it."
Chris Mears
Founder, Little Secrets

OperaSunday, January 10, 2010
So we went to Opera - the new club in Pyramid...and since Michelle is rushing me, here are some pictures.
Okay I'm back and I have some time to spare before dinner, so I thought I'd update this post a little.
Opera was okay. There are some pretty good and genuinely willing-to-help waiters and waitresses. One particular bouncer was being an arse, but aside from that we all had a pretty good time. Opera is in terrible want of a dancefloor - that was my one disappointment the entire night.
Aside from that, we were treated pretty well. Good seating area, clean toilets, fun time, awesome company :)

Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the mrwilson's-world deptThe voters have spoken, and to them, the most insightful comment of the week comes from Machin Shin responding to a Brit jokingly calling July 4th "Happy We-got-rid-of-a-bunch-of-useless-colonies Day." Machin then explained the conflicting feelings of being American and many of you found it to be quite insightful:
Well, We may have been "a-bunch-of-useless-colonies" for a while. We then became the most powerful nation in the world.I do wonder how many of those votes came from Americans and how many from foreigners...
Of course sadly we have now slipped back into the "useless" category. I must say, it is very conflicting being an American, I am extremely proud of what this nation once was and the principles it was built upon, but I am now disgusted when I look at what it has become and how far we have strayed from those principles.
Anyway, we had a rare (but not unheard of) second place tie this week for votes on "most insightful." I'll just post them in the order they came in. First up was MrWilson's comment on his criticism of libertarianism:
My criticism of libertarianism has always been that they seem to attribute to the government all these bad characteristics of control and abuse and getting too large, but they're completely blind to the fact that privately owned entities are prone to do the same thing and no amount of a mythical self-regulating free market (which requires a well educated and organized consumer base in order to function - something we're not likely to achieve under current circumstances) is going to stop human beings from over-reaching and trying to control others regardless of whether they're in the public or the private sector.And, sharing the second place podium was Loki, who commented on the claim that Kim Dotcom -- a person who is easy to dislike -- has become a cult hero:
I don't think this issue has turned him into a cult hero, as much as it has put into perspective just how reviled Hollywood, the RIAA, and the MPAA are. I actually heard someone last week say, "sure Dotcom is a piece of scum and a dirtbag, but at least he's not Chris Dodd."Since we had three comments make it into the winner's circle on votes alone, I'm just choosing a single editor's choice comment this week, and it's fogbugzd discussing the ridiculous advice of some "TV analyst" suggesting that Viacom and Disney should stop putting content on Netflix because kids like it and they might want to keep using Netflix.
And in the end, they really don't care about Dotcom's image one way or another. All they care about is that they delayed his efforts to bring to market a potentially viable competing service by at least two years (and scared off a lot of other potential competitors who might have considered following suit). If it keeps their businesses afloat for another couple years longer, they wouldn't care if people thought Dotcom was the second coming of Jesus.
Wow doesn't begin to cover how clueless this advice is. Suppose both Viacom and Disney eliminate all their on-demand offerings. That would still leave dozens of other sources of online content. It isn't the oligopoly situation big media is used to. If one source goes away, two more will pop up in its place.Moving on to the funny junk. The winner this week dominated the voting... and it's MrWilson yet again (nice week, dude) with his comment responding to the story of a judge absolutely slamming Universal Music for trying to play games with the royalties owed to Eminiem's production company.
I see exactly the phenomenon described in the article happening in our family. The variety of programming gives parents plenty of choices, and there is some very good content to choose from. There are no commercials for sugared breakfast cereal or toys. The content is good enough to be the basis of a lot of family discussions.
The one thing I have noticed is the fierce brand loyalty the kids and the whole family develop to the shows they watch. There is a ton of merchandise being sold for even minor programs. If Disney wants to cut itself off from the kids market, I can't think of a more effective method than the one that Juenger recommends.
RIAA to pirates: "Stop stealing from artists. That's our business model!"If only they'd patented it as a business method patent... While second place trailed far behind first place, it had an equal distance to third place, so there seemed to be widespread agreement that Josh in CharlotteNC had the second funniest comment this week, responding to the news of ex-Righthaven CEO Steve Gibson trying to tell a court he's really still in charge.
Gibson must be jealous of all the bad press that Carreon is getting and wants his fair share of it.Moving on to editor's choice, we'll go with DannyB's description of how Apple quite frequently copied ideas of others, but many of its fans refuse to recognize this:
(Android has multitasking.)And, finally, my personal favorite for the week. In our post about how Charles Carreon had "stopped digging" himself deeper and deeper into his self-created hole, an Anonymous Coward pondered the reasons:
Jobs: Nobody needs multitasking on a phone.
iSheep: Yes, nobody needs multitasking on a phone.
(Next year at same annual event where iSheep make pilgramage to see the iMessiah)
Jobs: iPhone has multitasking
iSheep: Multitasking is great, glad Apple invented it.
(iPhone has multitasking, but significantly inferior to Android. One word: badges. Android has this nifty pull down notification bar system.)
(next year)
Jobs: iPhone now has this nifty pull down notification bar
(no mention of where that feature has been seen now for several years)
iSheep: Yes, Apple is innovating!
I wonder, is this pause because he thought ahead and decided to learn Mandarin, or just because he needed to change drill bits?Anyway, we're off to change drill bits ourselves. We'll be back with more posts tomorrow, assuming some news happens (which seems like a pretty good bet).

On Holy Saturday night, I met a woman whose son has a disorder on the autism spectrum known as Sensory Processing Disorder. As she explained it to me, this amounts to an inability to tune out any information coming in by the senses, making focused functioning in anything but extremely tranquil environments very difficult.
The interesting corollary of this disorder is that most normal-functioning people, therefore, are able to get along productively only by tuning out most things most of the time. We have the ability, to be sure, to take in whatever sensible is in our immediate environment, but we do not ever do so. We marshal our senses to our goals, and we filter our environment for those data that strike us as relevant to attaining them.
It has been a long time since I have written. I think I've been undergoing the intellectual equivalent of SPD. My conceptual life had become nearly completely monochrome, nothing had any pop; I was mired in inputs, each seeming to make an equal demand on my attention, my time, my consideration, and my composition.
On the whole, I found it a profoundly healthy experience. We are, in fact, completely belittled by the sheer potential that we possess by nature. The interrelationship of all knowledge, the integrity of the Universe itself requires that, for the complete satisfaction of our intellectual enterprises, we must attain complete command of all possible data. In fine, mastery of every subject, no matter how obscure or arcane, and a thoroughgoing understanding of its relationship to every other subject. Douglas Adams conceived of a machine that could extrapolate the Universe from a piece of sponge cake. From the other side, it is the whole Universe that yields a piece of sponge cake, and any depth of understanding to which we can come about that sponge cake is, by virtue of our limitations, necessarily incomplete. How, then, can we decide to eat it?
I think it only natural that, having realized how microscopic our intellect is against reality, we should experience a certain paralysis of will. Responsibility demands that we act with knowledge; but if we cannot even know all the possible choices available to us, we cannot hope to act responsibly in any meaningful sense of that term.
When I was an undergraduate in a public university, there was a small forum on religion held in the lobby of my dorm. At the time, I found myself disappointed in the Catholic speaker and more sympathetic to the representative of Islam. The Muslim, you see, was offering extensive philosophical argument for his position, and he came off as quite well-considered and reasonable. The Catholic speaker merely dwelt on the Faith as a response to a divine invitation. While I still feel that his presentation was inadequate, I think his approach was much more correct. If we do not benefit from the true perspective that God can offer, we are bound to act either irresponsibly or not at all. Even if my final approach was something like what the Muslim was suggesting, an acceptance of intellectual propositions on the basis of argument, nevertheless it would require some intervention beyond my intellect to put me in the traffic pattern, to put the appropriate questions and arguments before my intellect.
It will be, then, either the light of God or the fires of passion that illuminate our path and give direction to our intellect and will. The more I reflect, the less it seems possible to me that any man should act on impetus of his reason alone. Do not doubt the good faith of those you meet, but remember that all men are led either by God or by their passions; the purely rational man is simply an absurdity, unless he refuses to act altogether.
I suppose this meditation has also impressed upon me the need for constant, serious, listening prayer, as well as serious combat against the passions. If we do not dispose ourselves to follow God at His leading, we will either suffer from SPD of the soul, or we will allow our passions to tune out the graces that God tries to give us.
Remember Newman's verses:
Lead, Kindly Light, amidst th'encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on.
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Saviour, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.
May such be our prayer.

This property is one of the largest
rental villas on Bequia with a super design enabling privacy and a pool you can really swim some laps in.
Located in Bequia's magnificent Friendship Bay, Stardust Villa is located on enough elevation to give stunning panoramic views whilst still being close enough to walk down to the golden sand of Friendship Bay Beach. Stardust has a delightful Caribbean feel with a comfortable and homely interior. Built with each bedroom independent from the main living space - allowing for privacy whilst still being nice and close for a family vacation. The villa is an open design with wide windows and doors to make the most of the spectacular views which are evident from every aspect of the property.
A great vantage point awaits from the dinning / living space which is wide open to the vista and cooling breezes. A super banquet table is able to seat up to ten guests. Cable TV, and all the usual entertainment systems, DVD, WIFI etc are available.
Stardust villa has a lovely traditional looking kitchen which is fully functional and contains all the appliances required for you or your chef to create some delicious Caribbean flavours during your Bequia vacation. This area is also nice
and open - connected to the main living space with the same fantastic views out over the bay.
Welcoming Kitchen & BBQ
The layout of Stardust villa provides 4 separate bedrooms, each with independent access, and private balcony. Great for groups and extended families. 3 of the bedrooms are ensuite. the 4th has external access to a private guest bathroom.
All bedrooms have air conditioning and are decorated with the delightful, enchanting Caribbean feel.
Bathrooms with Toilet and Showers (hot water on demand showers) There are a number of Safes in the property (large enough for laptops).
Guests at Stardust will be charged per room reducing costs and hopefully the villas carbon footprint. Guests will gain all the obvious benefits of a large villa: spacious pool, sun deck and gazebo whilst reducing the overall costs by only paying for and using the bedrooms required.
Stardust Villa has an elevated gazebo which overlooks the pool area, the entire property and of course the panoramic views - stretching from the eastern islands of Balliceaux, Battowia and Mustique right across to the eastern end of Friendship Bay. A super place to relax in a hammock with a cool cocktail to really appreciate the wonderful location.
This great Bequia holiday rental has a superb, central, large pool area with plenty of room to laze in the sun or relax in the shade on the large comfortable sun loungers.....The pool deck, like the rest of the property also has great views - looking east over the uninhabited islands of Balliceaux and Battowia. The gate out of the back of the property leads to some lovely walks and hikes through the woodland and down to Hope Beach- just a few moments away...
Stardust Villa is perched on the hillside overlooking Friendship Bay and the view from the house is incredible. The location is a short walk to an uncrowded beach (and beachfront bar) and is a quick open air taxi ride into Port Elizabeth. Our regular taxi driver Noel was always accessible, extremely prompt and a great source of information about the area.
The Villa was well equipped in terms of kitchen items, towels, WiFi, etc. We usually ate breakfast in the main house overlooking the bay and hung out during the day next to the pool. The pool space had plenty of lounge chairs, as well as a covered seating area with comfortable chairs and a lovely breeze. We also enjoyed the huge hammock for napping!
There is good walking/hiking available right from the property. We also enjoyed our trips into Port Elizabeth as there are many good places to eat and shops and vendors to check out.
AnnIvin - April 2017
I felt immediately at home as soon as I arrived at Stardust and my week just flew by! This villa is very comfortable, located in a quieter part of the island. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining table situated so you are never far from the views of Friendship Bay and area.
The main house can get a bit warm as the sun lowers, but the private bedrooms are detached and nicely air conditioned.
BL - February 2016
We spent two weeks at Stardust Villa this March
2015 and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The
accommodations exceeded our expectations. All rooms, the pool and the grounds were clean and well maintained. The kitchen has all the necessary tools and appliances, and the open-air dining area overlooks
beautiful Friendship Bay.
In the tower , you can take a nap in the hammock or enjoy spectacular views of Mustique and other islands. The beaches are pristine and not crowded. The people we encountered were friendly and helpful; and we were pleased to find a nice selection of good restaurants and bars.
We will be returning to Stardust Villa on
beautiful Bequia!
M FInlayson - June 13, 2015
My wife and 2 friends stayed at this lovely villa in May of 2013. What an incredible experience. The layout of the entire property was really interesting. There were 4 individual sleeping cabins w/bathrooms and a patio that were great, giving all guests individual privacy, yet without feeling separated from one another too.
Your immediately overwhelmed upon arrival by the size
of the huge swimming pool and lookout tower. The views were incredible.
The kitchen/living/dining building was really great too, with all the kitchen utensils you would need to eat and drink your days and nights away.
They have a great Bose system hookup for ipod, big screen tv, and room to entertain 10 with ease, all with an incredible view of Friendship Bay.
The property was meticulously taken care of with various flowering plants and bushes throughout. We all thought it was a great place for us and a great deal overall. Mike from Milwaukee - May 2013
Beautiful view from mountainside villa of Caribbean crescent shaped bay below. Very unique property with separate villas for privacy & open air dining room. Reminded me of some of the tropical locations shown on "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous!" Great property for a family or several couples who want some privacy from each other.
We stayed in Bequai at Stardust Villa for 2 weeks and it was magical! The house was clean and well kept, the staff were friendly and helpful. The pool and open-air dining area were our favorite hang outs. Each bedroom was uniquely decorated with a deck if you wanted more privacy. The views are indescribable. One way you see Friendship Bay - blue and lovely with sail boats and great swimming. On the other side, you see the Grenadine Islands stretched out into the blue Caribbean sea. The tower was the spot for a cocktail and sunset or coffee at sunrise!
I recommend a sailing trip to Tabago Cay if you want to snorkel in what feels like an aquarium. Bequia is sweet and unspoiled. Stardust Villa was a perfect match for our Caribbean island vacation. Can't wait to go back!

The Titius–Bode law (sometimes termed just Bode's law) is a hypothesis that the bodies in some orbital systems, including the Sun's, orbit at semi-major axes in a function of planetary sequence. The hypothesis correctly predicted the orbits of Ceres and Uranus, but failed as a predictor of Neptune's orbit. It is named for Johann Daniel Titius and Johann Elert Bode.
The law relates the semi-major axis $ a $ of each planet outward from the Sun in units such that the Earth's semi-major axis is equal to 10:
- $ a=4+n $
where $ n=0,3,6,12,24,48... $ with the exception of the first step, each value is twice the previous value. There is another representation of the formula: $ a=1.5 \times 2^{(n-1)}+4 $ where $ n=-\infty,2,3,4... $. The resulting values can be divided by 10 to convert them into astronomical units (AU), resulting in the expression
- $ a=0.4+0.3 \times 2^m $
for $ m=-\infty,0,1,2... $ For the outer planets, each planet is predicted to be roughly twice as far from the Sun as the previous object.
The first mention of a series approximating Bode's Law is found in David Gregory's The Elements of Astronomy, published in 1715. In it, he says, "...supposing the distance of the Earth from the Sun to be divided into ten equal Parts, of these the distance of Mercury will be about four, of Venus seven, of Mars fifteen, of Jupiter fifty two, and that of Saturn ninety six."[1] A similar sentence, likely paraphrased from Gregory,[1] appears in a work published by Christian Wolff in 1724.
In 1764, Charles Bonnet said in his Contemplation de la Nature that, "We know seventeen planets that enter into the composition of our solar system [that is, major planets and their satellites]; but we are not sure that there are no more."[1] To this, in his 1766 translation of Bonnet's work, Johann Daniel Titius added the following unattributed addition, removed to a footnote in later editions:
Take notice of the distances of the planets from one another, and recognize that almost all are separated from one another in a proportion which matches their bodily magnitudes. Divide the distance from the Sun to Saturn into 100 parts; then Mercury is separated by four such parts from the Sun, Venus by 4+3=7 such parts, the Earth by 4+6=10, Mars by 4+12=16. But notice that from Mars to Jupiter there comes a deviation from this so exact progression. From Mars there follows a space of 4+24=28 such parts, but so far no planet was sighted there. But should the Lord Architect have left that space empty? Not at all. Let us therefore assume that this space without doubt belongs to the still undiscovered satellites of Mars, let us also add that perhaps Jupiter still has around itself some smaller ones which have not been sighted yet by any telescope. Next to this for us still unexplored space there rises Jupiter's sphere of influence at 4+48=52 parts; and that of Saturn at 4+96=100 parts.
In 1772, Johann Elert Bode, aged only twenty-five, completed the second edition of his astronomical compendium Anleitung zur Kenntniss des gestirnten Himmels ("Manual for Knowing the Starry Sky"), into which he added the following footnote, initially unsourced, but credited to Titius in later versions:[2]
This latter point seems in particular to follow from the astonishing relation which the known six planets observe in their distances from the Sun. Let the distance from the Sun to Saturn be taken as 100, then Mercury is separated by 4 such parts from the Sun. Venus is 4+3=7. The Earth 4+6=10. Mars 4+12=16. Now comes a gap in this so orderly progression. After Mars there follows a space of 4+24=28 parts, in which no planet has yet been seen. Can one believe that the Founder of the universe had left this space empty? Certainly not. From here we come to the distance of Jupiter by 4+48=52 parts, and finally to that of Saturn by 4+96=100 parts.
When originally published, the law was approximately satisfied by all the known planets — Mercury through Saturn — with a gap between the fourth and fifth planets. It was regarded as interesting, but of no great importance until the discovery of Uranus in 1781 which happens to fit neatly into the series. Based on this discovery, Bode urged a search for a fifth planet. Template:Dp, the largest object in the asteroid belt, was found at Bode's predicted position in 1801. Bode's law was then widely accepted until Neptune was discovered in 1846 and found not to satisfy Bode's law. Simultaneously, the large number of known asteroids in the belt resulted in Ceres no longer being considered a planet at that time. Bode's law was discussed as an example of fallacious reasoning by the astronomer and logician Charles Sanders Peirce in 1898.[3]
The discovery of Pluto in 1930 confounded the issue still further. While nowhere near its position as predicted by Bode's law, it was roughly at the position the law had predicted for Neptune. However, the subsequent discovery of the Kuiper belt, and in particular of the object Template:Dp, which is larger than Pluto yet does not fit Bode's law, have further discredited the formula.[4]
Here are the distances of planets in the Solar System, calculated from the rule and compared with the real ones:
|T–B rule distance (AU)
|Real distance (AU)
|% error (using real distance as the accepted value)
1 Ceres was considered a small planet from 1801 until the 1860s. Pluto was considered a planet from 1930 to 2006. Both are now classified as dwarf planets.
2 While the difference between the T-B rule distance and real distance seems very large here, if Neptune is 'skipped,' the T-B rule's distance of 38.8 is quite close to Pluto's real distance with an error of only 1.62%.
Theoretical explanationsEdit
There is no solid theoretical explanation of the Titius–Bode law, but if there is one it is possibly a combination of orbital resonance and shortage of degrees of freedom: any stable planetary system has a high probability of satisfying a Titius–Bode-type relationship. Since it may simply be a mathematical coincidence rather than a "law of nature", it is sometimes referred to as a rule instead of "law".[5] However, astrophysicist Alan Boss states that it is just a coincidence, and the planetary science journal Icarus no longer accepts papers attempting to provide improved versions of the law.[4]
Orbital resonance from major orbiting bodies creates regions around the Sun that are free of long-term stable orbits. Results from simulations of planetary formation support the idea that a randomly chosen stable planetary system will likely satisfy a Titius–Bode law.
Dubrulle and Graner[6][7] have shown that power-law distance rules can be a consequence of collapsing-cloud models of planetary systems possessing two symmetries: rotational invariance (the cloud and its contents are axially symmetric) and scale invariance (the cloud and its contents look the same on all scales), the latter being a feature of many phenomena considered to play a role in planetary formation, such as turbulence.
Lunar systems and other planetary systemsEdit
There is a decidedly limited number of systems on which Bode's law can presently be tested. Two of the solar planets have a number of big moons that appear possibly to have been created by a process similar to that which created the planets themselves. The four big satellites of Jupiter and the biggest inner satellite, Amalthea, cling to a regular, but non-Bode, spacing with the four innermost locked into orbital periods that are each twice that of the next inner satellite. The big moons of Uranus have a regular, but non-Bode, spacing.[8] However, according to Martin Harwit, "a slight new phrasing of this law permits us to include not only planetary orbits around the Sun, but also the orbits of moons around their parent planets."[9] The new phrasing is known as Dermott's law.
Of the recent discoveries of extrasolar planetary systems, few have enough known planets to test whether similar rules apply to other planetary systems. An attempt with 55 Cancri suggested the equation a = 0.0142 e 0.9975 n, and predicts for n = 5 an undiscovered planet or asteroid field at 2 AU.[10] This is controversial.[11] Furthermore the orbital period and semimajor axis of the innermost planet in the 55 Cancri system have been significantly revised (from 2.817 days to 0.737 days and from 0.038 AU to 0.016 AU respectively) since the publication of these studies.[12]
Recent astronomical research suggests that planetary systems around some other stars may fit Titius–Bode-like laws.[13][14] Bovaird and Lineweaver[15] applied a generalized Titius-Bode relation to 68 exoplanet systems which contain four or more planets. They showed that 96% of these exoplanet systems adhere to a generalized Titius-Bode relation to a similar or greater extent than the Solar System does. The locations of potentially undetected exoplanets are predicted in each system.
Subsequent research managed to detect five planet candidates from predicted 97 planets from the 68 planetary systems. The study showed that the actual number of planets could be larger. The occurrence rate of Mars and Mercury sized planets are currently unknown so many planets could be missed due to their small size. Other reasons were accounted to planet not transiting the star or the predicted space being occupied by circumstellar disks. Despite this, the number of planets found with Titius-Bode law predictions were still lower than expected.[16]

The news of Apple's legal victory over Samsung is still making its way through the tech world. In case you missed it, a jury has sided with Apple on most of its patent infringement claims against Samsung, and has awarded Apple more than $1 billion in damages. Many of the specific findings surround design decisions in smartphones that Samsung has produced, but a lot of people are also wondering if the victory represents a win over the Android platform that Samsung focuses its smartphone strategy on. According to Google, though, most of the patents at issue in the Apple vs. Samsung skirmish do not extend to the core Android operating system.
"The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims,' a Google spokesperson said. 'Most of these don't relate to the core Android operating system, and several are being re-examined by the US Patent Office. The mobile industry is moving fast and all players — including newcomers — are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products, and we don't want anything to limit that."
It's also worth keeping in mind that Apple had actually been seeking nearly $3 billion in its lawsuit against Samsung, and don't forget that Samsung is riding enormous momentum with its Android strategy

New Jersey shaped who and what I am. Growing up in Jersey gave you all the advantages of New York, but you were in its shadow. Anyone who's come from here will tell you that same story. – Jon Bon Jovi
For some, this entry may be a little late, but as the cliche goes, "better late than never." I was born and raised in New Jersey, so you may think I am biased while you read this, and if you do, good. I will happily be called biased in this regard.
It is common knowledge that New Jersey suffered tremendous destruction during last weeks hurricane. Hurricane Sandy. For many, this would have been it. Time to pack up the bags and go somewhere else. Let's call it quits.
The effects of Hurricane Sandy are still being felt throughout New Jersey. Some people are still finding themselves without power. The remnants of downed trees and downed power lines are still evident. Houses are damaged and some personal property may be damaged beyond repair. Along with this the boardwalks, the symbol of New Jersey, have been torn apart, leaving nothing but pillars and a few planks in the place where tourists once walked.
The boardwalk is a devastating loss. It is where I have had all my memories of going "down the shore." It is where I spent the weekend after my junior and senior proms. The place that I traveled to with close friends on warm summer days. I cannot help but feel that the boardwalk will never be the same after it has been destroyed. The tireless heralding of vendors attempting to sell their over-priced, over-rigged games to the boyfriends of girls who would like nothing more than to leave the boardwalk with a stuffed animal that was won by her sweetheart won't feel right. The worn-out planks will never be the same to me because the memories that I have made on the New Jersey boardwalk are broken, battered and lost somewhere out at sea.
The boardwalk will be back though.
If there is one thing I have become damn sure of, that is the kind of attitude that you will find in anybody from New Jersey. Maybe we are stubborn, and some may even call us stupid, but when it comes down to it, our stubbornness is solely from the ideal that the way people in New Jersey do things is the way that things should be done. It is frustrating to some, and sometimes may be downright irritating, but it is who we are. We are steadfast in the beliefs that we have been exposed to since birth. We don't role with the punches, and when push comes to shove, we shove back. Mother nature will never be able to ruin the New Jersey state of mind or be able to crush the New Jersey spirit.
We are not "guidos" like the cast of MTV's reality show "Jersey Shore." I have also still yet to hear any New Jersian refer to "New Jersey" as "New Joisey." People from New Jersey are on the same playing field as any other person throughout America. We work hard, enjoy our free time and are much more courteous than we are made out to be. We live in the most densely populated state in America in a peaceful, sufficient manor. There may be times when the hustle and bustle of everyday life makes us come off the wrong way, but it is never personal. We live, we love and we laugh just like anybody else. We call this state home and value and cherish it just as any other person would value the place that they come home.
At the end of the day, New Jersey will recover. It is what we do and will continue to do.
I live in New Jersey now, which always gets a bad rap here and there, but I must say, I enjoy living here too. – Paul Muldoon

Huhh. Ok I got to my first post, but it wasn't a smooth ride.
First the lack of personalization was strange. But at the end "content over form" stuff is ok for me. Particularly in the age of syndication.
Then I got problems with importing my blogroll from RSS Bandit. After I solved that I haven't managed to insert a Skype button to the about page. It must be because of the javascript it contains, but all these were almost too much of a trouble for me.
It was a good idea to call the invites a gold ticket. I needed to feel privileged through coping with all these limitations to not start a simple blogger.com blog.
UPDATE: I found the answer for my skype button problem. Lorelle says any use of javascript is unavailable.

Another cause of difficult extraction of .22 cases is a burr on the chamber face from the firing pin if the weapon is dry fired and has an excess firing pin travel. Our Club has several pistols that are susceptable to this. Burr removal via chainsaw file leaves slight roughness and is not a good fix, so had to buy in a .22 chamber reamer and now use that to remove any slight burr due to accidental dry firing damage. Just one of the joys of firearm maintenance. Regards,

I looked into the legality of such a project before I started, the main points are, first of all, that it can't look like a gun, this is a bit of an unusual one, simply painting it bright colours will do, all toy guns/water pistols etc are bright colours so they can't be mistaken for a firearm, of course there's the option of having it not looking like a gun at all, which is what I'm going for, basically it looks like a tube that's fat at one end and thin at the other, I originally wanted a stock and pistol grip but decided against it to make it not look at all like a gun. Second, as mentioned before, it can't be easily converted to fire live ammunition with simple hand tools and without special knowledge, having made the chamber first it's clear that the final product will not be able to fire live ammunition, had I have started with any other part it could look like I was building an illegal firearm and I would probably have a hard time explaining myself.
The dummy launchers that the blanks were designed for can be bought legally without a license, you can also buy an adapter for them that fires tennis balls, I have an acre of private land to use it on, it's not like I'm running around the streets with it, all the neighbors know where to find me and nobody has complained and if anyone had a problem with it I'd stop using it. I hope this clears up any issues regarding the legality of it.

If we looked into our laws we would probably find similar things.
I recall a mate telling me about an argument he had with a cop about securing his rifle. The cop said he had to have a lock thru the trigger guard. He said that was no good and came up with numerous other ideas. No good. The trigger guard it had to be. He gave up and put a lock thru the trigger guard as well as one clamped around the barrel. I don't recall the specifics about that.
The reason he did not want to use the trigger guard? It was plastic and so flimsy he was worried it would break if the lock put any pressure on it.
South Australian Police have been known to try and trick gun owners. A favourite is to visit during the day and ask another household member to open the cabinet in the absence of the licenced owner. I know someone who had this happen. His wife knew exactly what to do. "I know nothing".
In Victoria, or at least in this area the police ring in advance and can give you 2 weeks notice. I had a visit earlier this year. Yep 2 guns. Tick, tick. See you later. The 2 states have always had a totally different attitude to guns.

Depends a lot on the particular officer doing the checking also, from reasonable to completely unreasonable

Agreed. Some form of extractor is usually necessary with.22s, just to break the expanded case away from the chamber walls. If you go to a bolt action, that would generally take care of the problem.

Would a thin (small diameter) "ramrod" of say silver steel on a file handle be enough to push the case out ? Makes the whole exercise really simple.

Read the first post. The chamber is blind.

Back to CO2 to eject the case.
Or mill a keyway in the back face of the chamber, hinge the key at top and pull back. Some pics of your set-up would help.

GameSpy: Hey, pretty lady -- shouldn't you be partying hard these days instead of playing games?
Tera Patrick: No way. You can still have a life and be into the hobby. One of the best things game designers ever did was create a mainstream audience for their work. It's what a lot of us porn stars have been trying to do for years.GameSpy: You seem awfully knowledgeable about this stuff. Do tell
Tera Patrick: I'm around it a lot. My husband [Biohazard singer/Oz star Evan Seinfeld] was in Rockstar's Manhunt. And I know a large number of people who play.GameSpy: What?! Tera Patrick hangs out with hardcore gamers?!
Tera Patrick: No. But I even have friends who are doctors and lawyers and are totally into gaming. These guys have all the systems (PlayStation 2, Xbox ) at home and constantly sit on the couch playing with their consoles. It's not uncommon to see them spending time relaxing with Tiger Woods [PGA Tour] golf. A lot of women dig it too.
GameSpy: Any other ladies, shall we say, as open-minded as yourself?
Tera Patrick: I don't know about that. In the porn industry, it tends to be the guys who do all the gaming. A couple years back at the AVN [Adult Entertainment Expo], several of the producers wound up bringing their Xboxes along with them. The games got more attention than the girls no woman likes that.GameSpy: You're telling us these guys were surrounded by roomfuls of drop-dead gorgeous girls and would rather be playing Halo?
Tera Patrick: Yes. Some people in this industry are pretty burnt out, and girls are no big thing. They see them and are like, "More girls? Whatever."GameSpy: Most of us should be so lucky. Anyhow, let's talk about your character -- what kind of wrestling maneuvers is she packing?
Tera Patrick: I can't tell you. Play the game that's the only way you'll find out. But I do have a fondness for using the weed whacker on opponents.

In Greek mythology Sisyphus was compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity. This has been compared to the "human condition". For me, the despicable Alzheimer's disease which has invaded my Barbara's brain is this steep hill. The boulder is my challenge to be for her what she can no longer be. Each day I push this boulder up the hill. Again.

Listeria Risk Triggers Huge Frozen Food Recall
If you're a regular Trader Joe's shopper, stop what you're doing and check your freezer. Immediately.
Trader Joe's recently announced a recall of CRF frozen vegetables because of possible contamination of Listeria monocytogenes. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA,) listeria can cause serious complications to certain, high-risk groups of people, including children, pregnant women and their unborn babies.
"The organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women."
The now-expanded recall includes all of the frozen organic and traditional fruit and vegetable products manufactured or processed in CRF Frozen Foods' Pasco facility since May 1, 2014. All affected products have the best by dates or sell by dates between April 26, 2016 and April 26, 2018.
This involves 358 products sold under 42 separate brands, including: Organic and non-organic broccoli, butternut squash, carrots, cauliflower, corn, edamame, green beans, Italian beans, kale, leeks, lima beans, onions, peas, pepper strips, potatoes, potato medley, root medley, spinach, sweet potatoes, various vegetable medleys, blends, and stir fry packages, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, peaches, raspberries and strawberries.
For a complete list of affected CRF products — which are also sold at other grocery store chains, like Costco — check the FDA's website.
Affected products from Trader Joe's include:
- Trader Joe's Organic Peas (SKU/Barcode 00496636)
- Trader Joe's Petite Peas (SKU/Barcode 00122689)
- Trader Joe's Organic Whole Green Beans (SKU/Barcode 00169219)
- Trader Joe's Broccoli Florettes (SKU/Barcode 00542784)
- Trader Joe's Organic Foursome (SKU/Barcode 00908672)
Pay special attention to the lot designation of Trader Joe's products when you're checking your freezer; it will have the code, "BF" if it's included in the recall.
Seven people from three states have reported being ill and hospitalized because of listeria so far. Some of the illnesses have been linked to eating CRF-manufactured or processed products. Tragically, two of these individuals later died, although listeria wasn't the cause of death in either case.
As a precaution, all products from CRF have been removed from store shelves at Trader Joe's. Operations have also been suspended at CRF's Pasco, Washington, facility since April 25 following the initial recall.
If you purchased any of these affected products, do not eat them. It is advised that you return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund, or throw them away. For questions, call the company's consumer hotline at 844-483-3866, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday, or send an email.
