The four million euros investment will increase capacity by 80 per cent, and will provide a platform to meet growing demand from customers in India and the Middle East, the company said in a statement. The expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2018, it added. "This is the latest in a series of organic peroxide investments to better serve our customers by upgrading technologies and increasing production capacity," said Johan Landfors, member of the executive committee responsible for polymer chemicals at AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals. "This expansion will allow us to build on our strong presence in numerous organic peroxide market segments, particularly in PVC, acrylics and thermoset resins," he added. Organic peroxides are essential for the manufacture of a wide range of polymer-based products including athletic shoe soles, wind turbines and PVC pipes used in the construction industry. Werner Fuhrmann, chief executive officer of AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals, said that the latest project demonstrates the company's commitment to the Indian market and supports the country's efforts to strengthen its manufacturing sector through increased investment from global organisations. The company is also investing in a monochloroacetic acid project in a joint arrangement with Atul in Gujarat, due to start production in 2019, Fuhrmann said. Over the last three years, the polymer chemistry business of the company has invested more than 100 million euro to better serve its customers in the polymer industry, the release said.

OK guys, hibernation over. My heart skipped when I saw someone on the forum in january, only to read an ad for a Polish penis enlarger for sale. (The administator resolved the problem).
There are more conversations about Hiller on pprune in the UK than on this dedicated site. Unfortunately most of the pprune forum content is unuseful, howver at least someone is talking Hiller.

Of Dog & Woman
I spent Monday afternoon with a friend who runs a kennel & doggie day-care. I went bearing lunch and pie (!!) and my little guy. He got to run with the pack while we humans had lunch and talked, laughed, shot photos, shared hopes & dreams. And, did I mention we ate pie?
She is a good soul, my friend. Full of fun, laughter, compassion, questions, disappointments, and love. She has built a business, a life for herself that (now) primarily revolves around dogs. Watching her yesterday, with the 15 or so canines around her, I see God at work. She tends to them with such care. She loves each one and gives each one attention; she is mindful of their needs and will put one away for a nap when he gets a bit overwhelmed. She watches the big ones to be sure they aren't intimidating the littles; she moves groups around so they can all play with ones they get along with. She is quick to scoop one up to snuggle with her; she tells another to "stop it." When we sit at the table for lunch, we are surrounded - not with begging dogs, but with dogs who settle down for a bit of a rest, knowing that she has stopped in her day to rest over lunch. One dog is curled at my feet, three on the sofas, one in the chair, one on a bed, two under the sideboard - we were surrounded. She tends to me as well, asking questions about the tales I share; giving me her insight; helping me to, perhaps, see things in a different light. She brings her grace & compassion to everything... and the fun!
As we were together with the dogs, she surrounds them, and me, with her love and care. Much as God surrounds us as his children. He loves each of us and gives us each attention. He is mindful of our needs, He gives us rest when we need it, He keeps us safe from the prowling, roaring lion who looks for someone to devour (paraphrased 1Peter 5:8 NIV), He holds us close, he sometimes tells us to "stop it." As a child of God, I am surrounded by His love all day, every day... and I choose to listen.
Maybe God can speak to us through a good slice of pie; but I know He speaks to us in the everyday relationships between human & human, human & animal, and animal & animal. How has God spoken to you?
God speaks in the little things
listen... & walk with him in the everyday

Awesome -in the dictionary definition of the word, not the slang - Awesome. As is the Lady who writes this blog. I know, because I'm the guy who is lucky enough to be "the love of her life." God spoke to me nearly 30 years ago now, when He loaned me this Angel. And through her He keeps me on the straight & narrow, guides me when I need guidance, and soothes me when I feel pain. She makes every day a joy as you'll see by following her blog.ReplyDelete

It's no surprise the Rangers will be looking to fill their biggest need — a scorer — this offseason.
It seems like we go 'round this circle after every season. Each year they're just a goal short of something special. (And let's not forget about their brutal power play, which also desperately needs help.)
Last week I talked about New York's needs, and what could happen through free agency. This week, we'll look at two trade possibilities.
The Rangers have a plethora of defensemen and could add another in free agency. They could look to sign Ducks prospect and soon-to-be free agent Justin Schultz or a veteran unrestricted free agent like Bryce Salvador, Adrian Aucoin or Bryan Allen. Those three players could eat some minutes and allow John Tortorella to play more than four defensemen, which appeared to be the case throughout the playoffs.
You can be sure the Rangers are going to do what they can to move Brandon Dubinsky and his contract ($4.2 million per season through 2014-15). They also have an abundance of young defensemen, which could make restricted free agent Michael Del Zotto or prospect Tim Erixon available. Artem Anisimov is another player they could possible move if the right deal comes along.
I'm not sure of Bobby Ryan's availability, but there have been rumors, and the Rangers should certainly test the waters and see if the Ducks' goal scorer is on the block. Ryan is a 25-year-old from Cherry Hill, N.J., who was drafted second overall in 2005 by Anaheim (just one pick behind Sidney Crosby), and he has scored 30-plus goals in each of his four full seasons.
There have been rumblings about Ryan perhaps being on the market with the Ducks' recent struggles, perhaps with prospect Emerson Etem, who has been tearing it up in the WHL (61 goals in 65 games this season). Etem's potential could mean Anaheim moves Ryan for some valuable pieces to build toward their future.
If the Rangers were to make an offer (perhaps at the draft) they would have to include Dubinsky. Ryan is signed through 2014-15 with a cap hit of $5.1 million per season, which would basically cancel out Dubinsky's contract. The Rangers would also have to include the 28th pick in the draft and perhaps a later pick as well. Del Zotto or Erixon could be offered in a package, making it a very appealing deal for the Ducks.
The other possible trade for the Rangers would be built around Columbus star Rick Nash, and we all know this idea will be visited at the draft (if it hasn't been already).
Nash was nearly dealt to the Rangers at the deadline, but Glen Sather wouldn't part with prospect Chris Kreider. In February, I was all about Nash and would have moved Kreider, but seeing how Kreider played in the postseason, I'm grateful that Sather held off.
We all know what Nash is. He is a huge power forward who scores goals. He just turned 28 and has scored 289 goals in 674 games. The major downfall for Nash is his contract, as he has a cap hit of $7.8 million through 2017-18. But it's Rick Nash. He scores goals and is still young, and that may be enough for Sather and Tortorella to make a move for him.
Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson made it known that the price for Nash is a big one, but with the Rangers' depth and smart drafting over the last five years, they certainly have the pieces to get it done.
Again, Dubinsky would be included in this deal along with perhaps Del Zotto and the Rangers' 28th overall pick in the draft. They have to sweeten the offer from there and could add 2011 first-round pick JT Miller or Carl Hagelin, who is coming off a nice rookie season. Or the Rangers could add their first-round pick in 2013 giving the Blue Jackets a chance to really rebuild their system over the next two years.
Whatever the Rangers do, you can bet it will involve adding someone who can score goals.

A couple months back, I sung the praises of the seasonal flatbread. So easy, so thrifty, so crowd-pleasing, so perfect for highlighting the season's harvest with just a wee bit of cheese to hold it all together. And now, the November installment in the series: the butternut squash pizza.
This is so surprisingly good, greater than the sum of its winter-squash-and-starch parts. A simple lean dough is topped with thinly-sliced squash (you soak it in salted water the night before, which renders it both softer and tastier), some onions and sage, and then just a sprinkling of cheese and breadcrumbs to tie it all together. The end result is deep and savory, with that bit of squashy sweetness, and rich and creamy with only a bit of dairy.
And in other news of the power of bread to unify, here's a recent spot I produced on Election Day Communion. If there's any bread that may have the power to pull us through electoral politics, I'm putting my faith in this one.
Winter Squash Pizza (Pizza Zucca)
reconstructed based upon the guidelines from Grandaisy Bakery, as told to Slice
makes one large pizza, serving ~6
1 pound squash (about half a standard butternut, or two small delicatas)
1 pound pizza dough (I'm currently obsessed with the recipe in Jim Lahey's book, which you all should get)
1/3 pound gruyere or similar cheese
1/2 red or yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
handful of sage leaves, coarsely chopped
olive oil
salt and pepper
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
The day before: If your squash is large, cut it in half (you only need about a pound). Peel and scoop out the seeds, then slice very thin (about 1/8-inch thick). Fill a large bowl with water, and salt until it tastes quite salty, and add the squash slices. Let sit overnight.
When you're ready to make the pizza, take your dough out of the fridge if it's refrigerated, and let come to room temperature for an hour. Preheat your oven to 500° Farenheit, and place a rack near the top.
While the oven is heating and the dough is warming, prepare the filling. Drain the squash, then place in a large bowl and toss with the grated cheese, onion, and sage leaves. Drizzle in a few spoonfuls of olive oil, until it's well coated, and season with salt and pepper (you shouldn't need too much salt, since the squash will have taken in some salt from its soak, but you want to have enough to offset the squash's sweetness). Set aside.
Grease a half-sheet tray with olive oil, or line with parchment. Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured countertop, and gently stretch out into a long rectangle (I like to sort of drape it over the backs of my hands, to allow the weight to help stretch). If the dough resists, let sit for a few minutes to relax, and try again. When the dough is stretched out, transfer to the prepared tray, then push-pull it until it is evenly spread to the edges.
Sprinkle the squash filling evenly over the dough, right up to the edges. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top. Bake until the squash is baked and starting to brown, and any dough you can see appears cooked, ~20-30 minutes. Let cool slightly, slice into squares, and serve.

With each breath, time continues to pass and we need to be present by stamping each moment
with everything our hearts stand for. Through photography, we have the opportunity to forever hold a piece of your legacy, today, tomorrow and in 20 years as your family grows. The greatest gift you can give someone you love is a piece of this legacy and through photos it is possible. Make time stand still so YOUR stories of today will have a voice tomorrow.
With my lifestyle artistic approach, I simply document your unscripted moments, the moments in between, because those are the ones filled with real life. Whether it is the smile brought on by those sweet whispers, the inside chatter that made you laugh, or the beauty that made you cry...these are stories you will want to relive again and again.
I look back on my childhood to teen years and can remember sitting and chatting with my grandma about anything and everything into the evening on many occasions. She was always a good balance between sassy and sweet making me laugh and wanting more. As conversations changed, the one thing that remained the same was the cup of PEPPERMINT TEA we would enjoy together. I looked forward to this time with her because it was 'our time' unique to us in that moment.
To this day, when I sit down and sip on a cup of PEPPERMINT TEA, she is sitting with me savoring the moment alongside me. Moments I don't want to forget. This is what I believe an image brings to our live's, a feeling from a unique moment in time that needs to be retold. Photos help us to feel as if those stories took place yesterday allowing them to continue to be re-told again and again becoming irreplaceable in our lives.
-PJ's cup of tea
I began my love for the camera on the East Coast as I started documenting life around me, realizing I was able to make time pause. From abstract views, to the love that filled my heart (my 3 year old muse) I began to see life from a different perspective. With prints in my hands, I saw emotions & details of our stories unfold in a way I didn't see exist as I was in the midst of each one. I could stop and exhale for another moment, a moment that belonged to me. Years later, making my way to the West Coast, I found my passion in documenting stories of love and life as a Wedding + Newborn Photographer bringing my own experience along with me.
Beauty is laughter. A simple, crooked smile. An innocent look. A touch of a loved one. A freckle out of place, integrity, the inner voice that's shouting out to be free. It is individuality. It is the look from a mother looking at her newborn for the first time. It is the smile he shows when you do that 'thing' you do because it is the reason he feel in love with you. It is simple life, real life, and everything in between. I see beauty in everyone and believe we were all created with something unique in mind that can ignite our world on fire. My goal is to capture that in every photo I take.
I am a wife and a mother to a beautiful 23 year old who ignited my passion for photography and vivacious 10 year old twin boys...yes, there are two! So, needless to say there is never a dull moment. You will see I have quite a bit of patience and don't get caught up in the little things that can sometimes be seen as unruly moments. I have plenty of them on my own (some days more than others) and wouldn't change one of them for anything. It has truly made me...me!
A few of my love's...movies (can watch them all day), laughter (the best sound to hear), warm chocolate chip cookies (seriously, my biggest pitfall), London Fog's (don't know? Let me introduce you!), Peanut Butter & Honey (on almost anything), and give me a beat and I have a hard time staying still (no shame in my game here!).
I look back on my childhood to teen years and can remember sitting and chatting with my grandma about anything and everything into the evening on many occasions.

PJ's cup of tea
I know how important every detail is & want to ensure each one is documented with you mind. The best way to make this possible is by knowing who you are first. I want to know the stories of who you are today & those you want to have re-told for years to come. Whether it's the moment you say 'I do' or seeing your little one home, I photograph intimate moments family & friends only wait to see in photos and feeling more like a friend to you, rather than a stranger holding that big, black box is key.
From the first kick to your sweet voice being heard, your little's one's story begins now and it should be a celebrated one. With my lifestyle and simplistic approach, I create timeless portraits that are meant to be displayed as artwork and enjoyed in your home for years to come.
This is your legacy and where it all begins. From that first glance to the ability to speak without words, there is a story to be told and one worth telling. In the midst of all the details that we can forget exist, there are moments of love and light & that is what I want to embrace along side you.
I photograph for the love and joy of today
with the intent of these portraits
landing in the hands
of your little ones when they start their own family, and when they begin to realize how important their own story has become.
It's their legacy and we just happen to be a part of it.
"I highly recommended Pamela as a photographer for any occasion. Not only is her work amazing but she takes the time in getting to know you. I used Peppermint Tea for my wedding and they truly captured every special moment through out the day!! When I first met Pamela she was very professional and very flexible. I know my husband and I will not only use her for future occasions but we've also gained a very good friend. I can't say enough about her work and she is one of the best!."
"Pam is a an incredibly talented photographer, as you can tell by looking at her images. To have talent in this area means more than knowing how to work your camera. She understands how to get everyone comfortable enough to be themselves, and then she moves to the best angle with the right lighting, and does what she does to make that image come out perfectly. One of the things I enjoyed about the session itself is how she calmed my nerves and made me feel like I was getting photographed by a good friend. The session and the images both far exceeded my expectations and seemed so natural for Pam to deliver."
"We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! We had so much fun taking our wedding photos and they came out better than I had even imagined. Pam truly loves what she does and it shines through in her work. As we went through our wedding photos, we laughed and we cried. It was like reliving the whole day again through photographs. Before the wedding, she was available via phone and email any time we had a question or concern. She also gave some great advice and suggestions to help us through the process. We enjoyed working with her very much and we can't wait to have her document our next milestone."
I believe in the power of printed portraits allowing your story to be genuinely retold for years to come and all Collections are created with that in mind. You will receive printed portraits created on Museum quality materials, digital files, + expertise and guidance along the way. You get to sit back and let us push all the buttons and only choose the images you love. From Wall Art to Table Decor, I offer several options ensuring I able to customize what works best for you and your home decor. Newborn boutique announcements are included in our Newborn Collections.
I am documenting your legacy and it deserves to be delivered as such. Knowing one day, someone you love will have the ability to pick up a photo and embrace your NOW, is my why. It is what keeps me doing what I do and loving every minute of it. Because of this, I offer digitals files as a compliment to your printed portraits but never alone.
I know how busy life is with your little one and the last thing I want to do is add unnecessary stress. During our first opportunity to chat, I will provide you with all the necessary details so you can relax, enjoy, and best prepare for the morning of your session. To get us started, I plan for your storytelling session to take place 5-10 days after birth and last between 3-4 hours in the luxury of your own home, allowing us all ample time to take care of your little one. I don't want to rush you when feeding and changing diapers, I would rather embrace these moments with you!
I love to provide a concierge style experience for my couples! From our first coffee or wine chat to the next, I love to hear your planning details and get involved as much as you will allow. I visit venue's, help create timelines, and offer guidance along the entire way. Following your big day, we will meet in person to view your images, choose the ones you love, and I get started on printing your legacy. I touch and polish every image so you don't have to and deliver in a customized personal gallery.
Planning your dream wedding outside of the Greater Bay Area, CA or Salt Lake City, UT? My bags are packed and I'm ready! I have lived + traveled in many states & international is a friend of mine. Since all situations are unique, travel fees will vary & I try to keep costs at a minimum. I'm a simple gal! I don't need much, only a place to stay, a way to get there, & a little extra for my time away.
Due to my lifestyle artistic approach, I don't use any props in your session. Starting with a classic & clean onesie, I focus on the those heart-felt, intimate moments you share with your little one to the tiniest of details (feet, belly buttons, to itty bitty noses). Please to see a sample of a Newborn Session Gallery.
Thank you for reaching out!
I will be in touch with you soon.
Please know I reply to messages Monday-Friday within 24 hours. During the weekend I am away from email because I am either spending time with my family or documenting love for a happy couple. Any messages sent during this time will be in my hands when I am back in the office on Monday.
I believe when you bring a photographer into your life you are trusting who they are first because that is ultimately what they will bring through the lens and experience. Let's chat over the phone, or better yet...meet for coffee, my treat! Finding your perfect photographer starts with knowing who will be sharing those intimate moments alongside you & knowing if we click is key. Let's find out all while having a little fun in between!

One of our magazine contributors, Garrett French, is part of a team of entrepreneurs who recently released the Ontolo Link Building Toolset to help those involved in link building efforts to quickly and easily identify good link prospects for their campaigns. The toolset is designed for those who are seriously involved in link building — the team suggests that it be used if you spend more than 5 hours per week on link building, have bought backlinks from more than 20 competitors, or are active in acquiring more than 10 links/month. What the product does is pretty much all the work for you. Using a group of 25 keywords that you identify, it identifies likely link prospects and analyzes each, collecting stats to help decide how good a prospect each will be for your enterprise. The results are plopped into a database that is updated each week that the client can search and peruse for quick-and-easy decisions on links to pursue. The time you save on research can be used to follow up on the best prospects.
If you are just starting to crawl (no pun intended) with link building, some of the tools Ontolo provides are free and will help streamline/speed up the link building process. For example, need to covert a list of URLs into links? There's a tool for that. Need to remove duplicates from a list? There's a tool for that.
Of course, if you are serious about link building, you'll need to sign up for the service and it's not exactly a cheap date at $497 per month. However, considering the time you will save and the quality of data you will receive from leaving the job to some very experienced guys, it just may be the best chunk of change you've spent. Visit the site for an overview and demo and see if it suits your needs.

Becca here ! We finally found Old Benny's laptop...he had stashed it under a private bale of alfalfa. He was an amazing friend, but left us 2 years ago for greener pastures on the other side.
The flock is getting smaller...Buddy and I are 14 this winter, soon to be 15. Buddy's fleece is a little light, but mine still grows and is bought by the same talented lady every year. I still am the head of the flock, although bossy Fiona pushes me to retire. No way.
The world's most splendid lamb still looks like a bear in full fleece and his wool sells every year. I heard the Crone say that everyone's fleece except old Buddy's sold last year. They DO buy good food.
We miss the lambs, but no one here is volunteering for motherhood. Well, the boys aren't interested, and the girls that haven't lambed have heard us talk about it and decided they would rather eat.
Did I mention the good food ?? And, the Shepherd comes out every night and scratches ears, cleans the hay off my face, gives medicine to the lame and sore old sheep. Life is good.

Illuminated by a couple of 60 watt bulbs it wasn't easy to snap Lost Garden when they played at West Street Live in Sheffield on June 26th. The venue tries to put on live music most evenings which is great, but having booked Danse Society to play, and dragging them all the way from Liverpool, you might have thought it was worth telling someone about the event! Not even a hand scribbled poster on the window. Anyhow, Lost Garden were invited to open the proceedings, and it was interesting to hear them incorporating some drum patterns and other more aggressive elements into the sound, perhaps mindful of the hard core goths who did turn up for the show. Danse Society? They were astonishingly loud (and I speak as someone who saw Deep Purple when they were still officially the loudest rock band in the world!) which rather took the shine off it for us, although you have to say they seemed to have it all together.

Cotyledon launch gig
What better way to launch a CD than at the very wonderful Record Collector shop at Broomhill? We will be squeezing in amongst Barry's collection to play a short set on Friday, May 22nd at 12 noon.
The CD will be on sale but if you cannot get along, check the EE shop out.
Sometime Man Launch
The official launch for Andy Weaver's Sometime Man will be
Friday 27 February 2015 @ Yellow Arch (30-36 Burton St, Neepsend, Sheffield S3 8BX)
The evening marks the return of The Honey Bee Blues Club and will be full of great live music, performers will include Moz Casserly, Big Joe Bone & Crosscut Saw but also bittersweet, as we will be playing music from and introducing the album.
£8 advance – wegottickets.com, rare'n'racy (devonshire green) and record collector. £10 on the door. 8pm – 1.00 am
Gig in town
Lost Garden have lined up a new venue to play; Eten, a cafe / bistro / tearoom next door to Sheffield Cathedral. We dropped in for some hot choccy after a gig at the Cathedral last year and had a guided tour of the performance area upstairs. They haven't really ventured into the "experimental" musical field, so we're hoping it will be a success and help establish a superb City-centre venue.
Alongside us will be Inclusion Principle, featuring Martin Archer – laptop, woodwinds, Hervé Perez – laptop, woodwinds, Peter Fairclough – drums and percussion, and afterwards, we hope, a chance to play together – always an exctiing prospect!
Keep an eye on the site for details of the show or join our mailing list.

Christi Moon, poet; Pennsylvania, USA:
"She was my older sister. When I was small it was almost like having two mothers. It was an honor and a privilege to be able to care for her. Although such an unbearable time. My daughter was only ten months old when my sister passed away, and my husband was stationed in Korea at the time. My mother had lost her vision and was also living with me. So a lot of searing sadness, grief and unrelenting responsibility. Surely the joy of my child saved the sanity of us all."
Unsaid (villanelle)
With all beloved gifts beside my bed;
a dark and haunting ache remains today,
for all the many words we left unsaid.
ill-fated hallmark letters lie unread;
though secretly one message stowed away,
with all beloved gifts beside my bed.
Dim nights of eerie silence filled with dread;
our quiet ravaged stillness fear's foray,
for all the many words we left unsaid.
Last pages of a story nearly read;
a Whiter Shade of Pale on endless play,
with all beloved gifts beside my bed.
I'm left to wonder what may come instead;
to grieve we will not have another day,
for all the many words we left unsaid.
Your picture in a frame here to embed;
a life now held in memory portray,
with all beloved gifts beside my bed,
for all the many words we left unsaid.
"[My sister] was sleeping in my room–I had moved into the baby's room–and she couldn't sleep at night. I would go in there and we would just sit on the bed and hold hands. I would paint her nails, rub lotion on her feet, read to her. It was just too painful to talk of anything that sounded like goodbye. It was so physically horrific at the end that I thought I would lose my mind watching her struggle for every breath. How do you watch that and still wish them to stay? How do you let someone who has been your biggest supporter go? Amazing she was, and so dearly missed."
Christi did not know it at the time, but she would follow in her sister's footsteps:
Waiting Room
cheerful warden waves
white-knuckled I wait
silently squared up against
my mortality.
not ready.
"it won't be long dear"
I can hear them wonder,
impatient faces stare
as sterilized time t.i.c.k.s.
the hall
the needle sticks
through the unsteady glare
of boney chrome branches
dripping Buddha bellied bags
of top-shelf toxins
crafted to smash rogue cells
that slipped stealth-like
past the scalpel.
my fidgety file
s i t s
pathology spits
like the lyrics
to a bad rap song
I don't belong here.
And then: A family reassigned–
"She used to watch for him every night. Asked me for a year to set his place at the table at dinner. Almost unbearable. She continues to be devastated by the loss of that relationship."
Three clings
to camouflage
and Carolina
sits small
in a green chair
at the screen door
folded hands
on a white horse
but I can't hide
the empty place
as I set the table
for two
and cling to Three
"[But] I have learned that once in a while the universe gets something right. And I am thankful for it everyday. My daughter is an amazing child."
Editor's note:
Christi took the photo of her daughter, shown here at age three; and later in turn, her daughter would take the above photo of her mother. Christi also took this photo shared with us here of her sister Vickie, taken when Vickie was twenty-four.

Y-Balance provides unique test for players at combineby Joe Yerdon
BUFFALO – The 2015 NHL Scouting Combine featured many physical tests for the top prospects in the 2015 NHL Draft to take part in, but the newest one that tested their abilities was the Y-Balance test.
The Y-Balance is used to test each player's strength, flexibility, and core control. The player stands at the center of a Y-shaped board on a single leg and use their other leg to slide outward on one of the axis. For many players it was a new challenge to go with the other tests.
"I think it's kind of a way to challenge yourself to go farther every time," University of Michigan defenseman Zachary Werenski said. "You get a couple tries on each one. It's just a good way to push yourself. It was different, I've never done it before but it was fun."
Each player gets three tries to get the maximum reach in each direction from three different types of reaches. The results of the test are not made available.
"I've done it a couple times actually so, it wasn't too weird for me personally," London Knights forward Mitchell Marner said. "I've trained for that a couple times. It's just about getting low and kind of pushing as far as you can and seeing how really low you can get and how really far you can push it. It's kind of new for some people, but I was kind of used to it."
With tests like the shuttle run, pull-ups, and the Wingate Cycle Ergometer, the Y-Balance provided a different challenge that required strong balance and flexibility.
"It was cool. It was something different, a little awkward," Boston College defenseman Noah Hanifin said. "Obviously it's pretty important. All these tests here, I think, are fairly important to judge a player's physical skills, so it was good."
The three different reaches players had to do resemble skating motions seen on the ice. Even though that might sound natural to do, it's a bit different when doing it as a test.
"You fall off balance a couple of times but that's all part of it," Kingston Frontenacs forward Lawson Crouse said. "You're obviously trying to push yourself to be the best, so if you're doing that you should push yourself to be in awkward positions and at the end of the day I'm very happy with how I performed out there."

Bonnaroo 2009: Thursday Day 1
June 12, 2009
Filed under Music
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Cloudy skies and rain cast a shadow over the festival's first day
If the first night was highlighted mostly by sporadic weather, Thursday night's attractions were met with similarly uneven results. The forecast ranging from bands that generated the high voltage of Tennessee lightning to ones that barely generated the excitement of a passing shower. Despite Kanye West's infamous set problems last year, hip-hop regenerated in full force Thursday night with high-energy shows from festival newcomers, MURS and People Under the Stairs.
Both emcees were successful at integrating the crowd early and succeeded at keeping the drenched festival-goers dancing through the storm, each with their own individual styles. While MURS played mostly with hip-hop's commercially successful bass thud and soul-beat model, he was able to breath fresh life into the medium with his spitfire verses and solid beats succeeding on his promise that he would offer a, "fun approach to hip-hop." Despite that, the rapper born under the ironic name Nick Carter and who's alter-ego is slang for "Making Underground Raw Sh*t," offered surprising versatility with songs that discussed everything from his full-mane of dreadlocks to the nation's economic crisis.
Conversely People Under the Stairs provided a style that would be fitting coming out of a boom box, with DJ scratching provided live by the group. The One and Double K, the principal members of the group, traded verses often conversationally dipping into freestyles often and drawing in the crowd with tunes dedicated to their troubled home city. While People Under the Stairs were largely unknown to the crowd, they quickly won fans with their wit and showmanship, even asking coyly when the crowd stumbled through a sing-a-long, "what you guys didn't buy that record?"
The night's rock acts provided most of the uneven moments, with the biggest pressure of the night falling squarely on the shoulders of Cambridge, Massachusetts natives Passion Pit. The group generated a heavy buzz throughout the scatted campground and drew what was surely the largest crowd of the night. The five-piece band talked a big game with lead singer Michael Angelakos stirring up the crowd like the ring leader of the circus. Draped by their lighting personnel in the soothing tones of pink and purple, the group's sound was similarly limited by an equally bland musical palette. The song's off their debut album "Manners" sounded full live however they failed to incite the large crowd in the same ways as last year's This Tent headliners, Vampire Weekend and MGMT, a point of note as Passion Pit's sound seems a likely adaptation of Vampire Weekend's drum-heavy beats and MGMT's catchy keyboard flourishes. Varying from slow soulful keyboard infused pop tunes, to more uptempo synth-driven pop tunes, Passion Pit often sounded like they were going through the motions, robotically trodding over musical group that has recently been mostly colonized.
White Rabbits, who graced the same stage before the torrential rain fell also saw a sizable crowd and similar mixed results. The Brooklyn, New York natives have received high praise from England's premier music magazine NME, no doubt for their sound's heavy drawing from UK bands like The Specials and Arctic Monkeys. In spite of lofty comparisons the band fought against the sizable evening crowd drawing applause and maintaining interest at what was still one of the day's earlier shows.
Elsewhere The Low Anthem slowed things down at That Tent with a more mellow evening set. The Providence area band's members formed a virtual musical carousel, switching instruments and tones often. The group's members pulled duties on instruments as diverse as upright basses and violins while handing off vocal duties on song's like "This God Damn House" which they dedicated lovingly to a former band member. The Low Anthem kept things simple, sticking to lyrics that used simple imagery to craft songs about drinking, debauchery and wild and simple rhythms to craft tunes that ranged from keyboard laced acoustic downers to uptempo blues ditties like "Cigarettes and Whiskey."
Overall Thursday night's bands did little but whet the appetite and expectations for Friday's main event which offers up a lineup with acts as diverse as David Byrne, The Beastie Boys, and the main attraction Phish.

Guide to Central OR
Central Oregon and Sunriver offer some of the most spectacular vacation activities to be found anywhere! Here are just a few tips, links and suggestions to help you plan your vacation. Our homes in Sunriver are located right in the heart of everything Central Oregon has to offer, from skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor to over 20 area golf courses. There's also hiking, biking, whitewater river rafting, fly fishing along the Deschutes River and so much more. Enjoy!
There is a direct route from Sunriver to Mt. Bachelor, just 18 miles away. From the traffic circle at the south end of Sunriver, take the first right onto South Century Drive and follow the signs to Mt. Bachelor. If you prefer to take the shuttle from Sunriver Resort rather than drive, shuttle service is available for $20/adult and $15/children under 12. There is also Hoodoo just west of Sisters and Willamette Pass on Highway 58.
There are two 18-hole golf courses in Sunriver managed by the Sunriver Resort. The Meadows course is near the Sunriver Lodge at the south end and the Woodlands course is near the north end of Sunriver. There are a wide variety of central Oregon golf courses; two additional courses near Sunriver are Lost Tracks at the south end of Bend and Quail Run south toward La Pine.
Mountain & Road Biking
In addition to the 30 plus miles of paved bike paths in Sunriver, there are extensive trails in the adjacent Deschutes National Forest for mountain biking or the surrounding roads in the area for road biking. Central Oregon is considered a mecca for both, with extensive information available on the links provided.

Freeze dried food has become a wonderful part of my meal prep toolkit! After feeling like my life was a constant whirlwind with two babies in diapers and a tough postpartum recovery, I finally feel successful in my kitchen again. After researching my options, I chose to go with Thrive Life* because the quality, purity of ingredients and value for your dollar stood out above the rest. While Thrive is the ideal option for your emergency supply, it is also wonderfully easy and delicious for daily use! And while we still have our favourite grocery brand and farmer's market items, the simplicity of Thrive Life makes it easy to whip up nutritious meals, while saving us time and keeping it within our monthly budget.
Here are a few of the amazing benefits (but I'm sure you will discover more once you start using it):
1.) Order from the comfort of home.
Use an easy to navigate online system (called My Deliveries) when it is convenient for you, and it gets delivered to your door (usually in a week or even less in my experience). While grocery stores are beginning to offer "click and collect" online ordering options, you still have to pick it up at a scheduled time. And well – it's grocery store food – which brings me to my next point.
2.) Eat produce that is fresher than fresh, with a higher nutrient density!
Just go to this link to read about how the maximum amount of nutrition is locked in through the freeze drying process. And you are not sacrificing on taste – I find it is actually more flavourful in many cases. The quality is also incredible, with no added preservatives etc – just the food as if you pulled it out of your own garden.
3.) It's so simple, your child could do it.
You can make comfort food feasts, gourmet dinner or fun snacks and appies, just like with regular grocery store food but with fewer steps. Here is a little instructional image from Thrive Life showing you how simple it really is to use your freeze dried food in meals.
4.) The convenience can't be beat!
You'll love the simplicity and minimal mess of pre-chopped vegetables and fruit, precooked meat, and many instant pasta options. Just rehydrate and go (and many items make great snacks straight from the can). I could provide you with a hundred pictures of dishes I've made in 20 minutes or less with Thrive food, but here is one of my favourites. This giant zucchini was from my garden, and I filled it up with a tomato sauce made with all Thrive Life ingredients – no defrosting or pan frying required! (It included Thrive ground beef, red pepper, onion and tomato sauce -with lots of cheese on top of course!)
If you want to make life even simpler for yourself, I also like to prep jar meals in advance (just measure and layer in the ingredients and add a note for how to prepare). If you want something a little fancier than jar meals, you can add Simple Plate meal kits to your delivery service too.
And here are those two jar meals cooked up:
5.) Your children will love it!
Speaking of snacking, my toddlers DEVOUR Thrive Life food. I've had to lock the cupboard I store my pantry cans in so they don't eat it all! They will even eat things like peppers, corn, peas and zucchini right from the can, not to mention the delicious fruit! The blueberries are an excellent example. They taste like CANDY, but like the majority of their produce, all that is in them is the actual food item – no other ingredients! If you don't believe me, check out the product label.
As a mom who tries really hard to give my children balanced meals, it feels so great to see them eating healthy food! And you get cute pictures like this one:
6.) Reduce your food waste while saving money.
You also have virtually no waste, unlike regular produce. For example, a can of Thrive broccoli is 100% usable. A head of broccoli from the grocery store you pay for by weight, and then you cut the stem of it off and that money goes in the trash or compost with it! This is the same for bananas, bell peppers, etc. Now that I'm incorporating Thrive produce quite regularly into my routine, I have significantly reduced my organic waste. Most weeks I don't even fill up the one small can for compost that I have on my counter. (Less weird smells – yay!)
Everything in the can is usable. If you have some powder left in the bottom, throw it in a soup or smoothie! Here is an example of strawberry milk I made with the powder left over from a strawberry can – simply strawberry, no unhealthy fake syrup needed!
7.) Don't stress about food spoiling!
In addition to the above, you are also throwing out less food that you forget to use before it goes bad, as the majority of Thrive Life products will be good for one year after opening in your pantry. I always feel sick about throwing out food I simply forget to use. This happens much less now, because if I am going to the grocery store for produce etc, it is usually for a specific recipe and I have a plan to use it within a couple of days.
8.) You don't need to refrigerate it!
You can make room in your fridge or freezer for other things and leave Thrive foods in your pantry or cupboards. Now my husband can go crazy on his barbecue and hot sauce collection! (Don't get into a spicy food competition with him. He will beat you, and you will be crying on the toilet the next day!)
Thrive Life food limitations
I absolutely love how all the vegetables and meat are pre-chopped, which makes it super simple and fast to do soup, casseroles, sauces, stir fries, etc. but you would still buy grocery store produce if you say wanted to make stuffed peppers or grate zucchini into spaghetti noodles. Same goes if you wanted to barbecue a steak or a chicken breast. For me, Thrive Life produce and meats have become my "good to have on hand" food, but I still buy certain items from the grocery store for specific dishes. Like I mention in point #6, this has really helped me reduce my accidental waste.
Wait, is it Expensive?
For all these benefits it must be really expensive right? Nope! Check out what Thrive Life has to say about how you can actually save money. I write about specific strategies for getting the most value for your dollar right here. And you can shop through my affiliate links below to get special pricing (I will earn a commission, which helps cover the cost of my blog.)
Taste and See the Thriving Life!
Thrive Life foods are one of my favourite mom hacks and sanity savers! Plus this online grocery store is super flexible. Set up a delivery order through my link (you can skip or cancel at any time) to get free shipping when you spend $100+ and 20% off your first order. You'll keep getting 15% off the retail price of the food, plus monthly specials!

Do you need to hire a Home Inspector in Nashville Tennessee with cat-like abilities? Check out the photos below. This may be the guy for you!
"I think I can, I think I can!"
"I know I can, I know I can!"
And then he was gone! Luckily I was up on the roof to grab him and send him back down to earth. The REALTOR on the ground took these photos. This all went down, or up, on a recent home inspection near Franklin Tennessee.

The Oakland Peace Center is really proud of who supports our work. The Gay Chemists' Fund, National Benevolent Association, the Akonadi Foundation…all organizations deeply committed to equity and justice. And most of our funding comes from generous individuals, many of whom do not have tons of extra cash to throw around but who believe in investing in what Dr. King called the Beloved Community, especially at such a time as this, when efforts to dismantle it run rampant in the corridors of power.
This week we received a donation from the Faith at Work endowment fund of University Lutheran Chapel in Berkeley, CA.
The Oakland Peace Center is a non-religious organization. So let me tell you why I'm proud we got this grant.
We are so grateful to OPC supporter and gifted performer Houston Robertson for performing her show "Victory for the Recycled Virgin" on Friday June 16 at the Oakland Peace Center to help support our work!
You can get tickets HERE (discounts for two or more). You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll support peace!
"Sassy, sexy, captivating and wickedly funny. A must see for younger women."
Winnipeg Free Press 4 star review.
In Victory for the Recycled Virgin, a virgin bride of the 1950's exposes the cultural lies she and her husband have been living. When a revelation launches the painful collapse of the marriage, she catapults into the hilarious, occasionally scandalous, and sometimes painful episodes of her midlife madness. This boldly honest show generates gasps, laughter, and cheers as you witness a recycled virgin's bold quests for sexual liberation and personal power.
NOTE: Adult content.
"This show is sad, sweet, silly, outrageous, and very compelling. It's a testament to exactly what's meant by 'You've come a long way baby.'"
In these challenging times, we need to deepen our faith and sharpen our organizing skills!
We invite you to our upcoming Faith Rooted Organizing training on Sunday March 12, 2:00-5:30 and Monday March 13, 9:00 am-4:00 p.m. in Oakland.
This training is for clergy, lay leaders, and spiritually-motivated social change agents. This two-part training will deepen your understanding of the theory and skills of how to be an effective organizer in the world. It will help you to tap into your own deep values, motivations and visions. It will help you more fully integrate the gifts of your own faith and religious practices into your social justice work. It will connect you to a rich organizing model and ethos that grows out of the civil rights movement, liberation struggles in other countries and worker justice struggles in the U.S.
This training has proven transformative to the veteran and novice social justice advocate alike. It is an effective way to energize yourself and others in your congregation or network and help build a common framework and ethos among colleagues. Faith Rooted Organizing invites us to move beyond winning campaigns and calls us closer to our goal of building the beloved community—which we urgently need to live into.
Sponsored by: Faith Alliance for a Moral Economy, The Oakland Peace Center & Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity. The training is $25 – $75 (sliding scale). To register email Kristi@workingeastbay.
When the Oakland Peace Center finalized the OPC partners' shared values a year ago, a lot of time went into naming a policy of not calling the police when people-related crises arise around the building. This was raised by partners who work with youth, people of color, and homeless people in particular, due to the trauma that many of them have faced in crisis situations with police. There are also others in the community better trained to deal with people in crisis, so it's time to build up our knowledge and capacity base!
Thanks to an emergency grant from the Akonadi Foundation, the OPC is able to have our partners from POOR Magazine lead us through a three hour training on alternatives to calling the police on Sunday, February 19 from 3-6pm in Shelton Hall so we can put a system in place that protects all of us and helps us be Beloved Community. We want to welcome people from the larger community and the wider OPC family to come join us for this trainging to learn how to deal with crisis without having to resort to calling the police.
When: Sunday, February 19 from 3-6pm
Where: Oakland Peace Center – Shelton Hall
Please RSVP by emailing OPC intern Caleb at email@example.com
Here's the event description from our partners at POOR Magazine:
How to NOT call the cops (or the courts) workshop:
Featuring the poor, unhoused, disabled, Black, Brown, Indigenous, elder and youth leaders, artists, cultural workers of POOR Magazine/Prensa POBRE/PoorNewsNetwork(PNN)/Homefulness. The POOR Magazine family has practiced this concept for 20 years throughout their own collective traumas, colonization, gentrication, family violence, eviction, incarceration, displacement, betrayal and the attempted take-down of Homefulness – a landless peoples movement.
Walking this walk among a poor and indigneous peoples-led movement means facing our demons ALL THE TIME because we all come out of the collective trauma experiences of racism, wite supremacy, ablism, family violence, false borders, eviction, houselessness, criminalization, elder/child abuse, sexual violence, rape, incarceration, police violence, genderism, hate crimes and much more
This workshop will include an ongoing teaching of poor peoples/traumatized peoples accountability, how to redefine a western white supremacist notion of security, and how to hold each other through trauma into a true definition of inter-dependent safety.
The workshop will feature extended family members and family elders from the Idriss Stelley Foundation (ISF), Krip Hop Nation, Sogorea Te Land Trust and POOR Magazine's family elder council, elephant council ( where decisions are made) and revolutioanry building circle at Homefulness, food and much more.
*The Oakland Peace Center still hosts neighborhood meetings in our building with our beat officer and resolves community conflicts in conversation with the police officer and each other. Those have often been fruitful meetings that have helped us be better neighbors to each other. We're not at all interested in making enemies of individual police officers. We're simply looking to live into our values around protecting everyone so this is really a space of peace.

Whether you live in a poky city flat or a spacious country mansion, it's those finishing touches that really make a house a home. The size of your property is somewhat irrelevant when it comes to adding your personal stamp, so take a look at these unique ideas and transform your living environment into something special, cosy and unique.
Internal doors
Believe it or not, you don't have to undergo a complete renovation or spend a lot of money to get your home up to scratch. Replacing internal doors, for instance, is a simple, easy and cost-effective way to instantly personalise and upgrade the appearance of your abode. With so many different styles and designs available you won't be short of choice, but remember to factor this home improvement into your budget to ensure you've got enough cash to do the job properly.
Matching soft furnishings
It's amazing how soft furnishings such as cushions, throws, rugs, lampshades and curtains can brighten a room and complement the interior design of your property. While vibrant colours such as red, green, pink, purple and light blue work well against plain décor, blacks, greys and creams can also look stunning in a minimalist environment.
Once you've got an idea of what colours work well together, you can then start getting creative in each room giving each part of your home a different style and twist. Adding those finishing touches should be fun, so take the time to think your ideas through carefully and perhaps draw up a plan before hitting the shops (or internet) for furnishings that will fill your space with character.
Feature wall
Anyone can paint their walls beige or pop up some wallpaper – but what about unleashing your artistic flair by creating a feature wall? There are many techniques you can use from free painting and stencilling to sponge painting and experimenting with tape designs, so have a look online for some inspiration and think about what you want to achieve. When choosing where to paint your design, opting for a middle wall can be a good idea as it helps to give the room a focal point.
Photographs and artwork
Hanging pictures of your family on the walls is a great way to bring your memories to life and relive them every single day. You'll feel good when you walk past and see them – and when you have guests, those beautiful images of your loved ones are sure to spark up a love-fuelled conversation.
As well as your favourite snaps, you could also think about investing in some artwork which really catches your eye. Not everyone has the same tastes and while some people may prefer expensive artwork painted by the very best artists, others may opt for street art that touches their heart instead – so go with what feels right for you. Before you buy, however, think about where your new pictures will go and take measurements in advance to ensure you make sensible purchases.
Transforming a property from bricks and mortar to somewhere that's loved can be a wonderful experience, so make the most of it.

June 2 (Reuters) – Sri Lankan rupee forwards edged up on Thursday as banks, led by state-owned lenders, sold dollars amid light demand for the U.S. currency from importers, dealers said.
Dollar/rupee forwards, known as spot next, were at 147.85/148.05 per dollar at 0540 GMT with compared with Wednesday's close of 148.25/40.
Spot next, which acts as a proxy for the spot currency, indicates the exchange rate for the day following conventional spot settlement, which is five days ahead for Thursday's trade.
"A state bank started selling (dollars) at 147.80 and we saw some other banks also selling. The importer demand (for dollar) is there," a currency dealer said.
Two state-run banks, through which the central bank usually directs the market, at times sell dollars to curb falls in the rupee.
Central bank officials were not available to comment on whether the selling was prompted by the monetary authority.
There was little impact on the rupee from Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake's announcement on Tuesday that Japan would lend $4.2 billion to Sri Lanka through both, a loan and bond financing, in the next two years.
The spot currency was not traded on Thursday.
The spot rupee reference rate has been pegged at 145.75, dealers said. Sri Lanka's central bank had fixed the spot rate at 143.90 per dollar until May 2.
Dealers said the rupee would continue to face pressure despite foreign inflows into government securities and expectations of further inflows, unless the inflows are large enough to boost reserves.
Foreign investors were net buyers of 7.23 billion rupees ($49.28 million) in the week ended May 25, central bank data showed.
The government is in the process of borrowing up to $3.5 billion from foreign sources via syndicated loans, sovereign bonds, and Islamic bonds, Karunanayake said last week.
Analysts, however, said foreign inflows from such loans or bond issues would ease the pressure on the rupee.
The Sri Lankan stock index was 0.08 percent weaker at 6,537.51 as of 0522 GMT on a turnover of 189.91 million rupees ($1.29 million). ($1 = 147.7000 Sri Lankan rupees)

Roof Leaks? Prepare Them Yourself With These Methods
Roof repairs can be quite daunting and should generally be left to experts. However, if you feel you are handy when it comes to fixing up the house, we have some leak repair advice for you.
1. Fix the Shingles
The first thing you need to do is check if you can see where the leak is coming from. It may not be directly above where you see the water damage and you may need to do some investigation. Check the roof for shingles that are curling or buckling as that could be an indication of where the leak began. To fix it, straighten out the shingle and re-attach them with asphalt roof cement. When working with the shingles and some of them fall apart or just come lose, consider replacing those shingles.
2. Shakes That are Damaged
When you see damaged shakes, split them by using a hammer and a chisel. Use the chisel to lift the shakes and remove the pieces. Try and remove any nails by cutting off the ends, but avoid damaging the good shakes. Cut a new shake that is a bit smaller than the original one and nail it in place with roofing nails.
3. Repairing Connections
Connection points are often the areas where leaks start because the sealant has become loose or worn out. To start off with, inspect all areas where roof surfaces connect, for example, the chimney or vent pipe. Check for damage to caulking and apply new caulk where necessary.
4. Roll Roofing
When the roofing material seems damaged, inspect it for cracks or blisters. Cut the blister open without damaging the underlying roofing material. Remove the water by soaking it up or squeezing it out. Once the area is dry, apply roofing cement under the loose roofing material and press it down. Use nails to close the edges of the blisters and then cover everything with another layer of roofing cement.
Now you have four methods to use to identify and repair leaks in your home. If you realise at any point that the damage is too big for you to repair, do not hesitate to call your local roofing contractor.Read More Roof Leaks? Prepare Them Yourself With These Methods

Happy Birthday to Whoo?
Here is another funprint project inspired by Ed Emberley's Funprints. I love owls and thought it was about time I did a funprint one. This card is kind of retro and I love it. To make the owl, all you need are two overlapping thumbprints horizontally.
Once you have made the thumbprints, just embellish with beak, feathers, eyes, feet, wings, and tree branch, if you like. Whoo wouldn't think this was absolutely adorable? Free-printable links for blog subscribers above each of the following pictures. Personal use only please. There are two 5x7 cards on each printable- I just hate wasting paper. So just cut one printable and attach it to the front of some folded cardstock.

Fur Fashion – The Ultimate Fashion Investment Piece for Fall
October 2008, West Hollywood, CA
In tough economic times like these, it's important to make good, solid investments. Making a good investment in your fashion purchases this season is more critical than ever and today's fur fashions are the ultimate fashion investment.
As turmoil continues on the financial front consumers are being far more careful about how they spend their money and "throw-away" fashions are last season's news. There is simply no room for purchasing frivolous pieces that will only be worn once. Fur, on the other hand, is one of the most important fashion investments you can make this year. The versatility of today's fur fashions make them wearable across a broad range of dayparts and looks. Perfect for upping the fashion quotient of jeans on a Saturday afternoon, fur can also been worn as an elegant evening complement or a warm alternative to carry you to the office. Classically elegant yet new and exciting, fur is the fashion must-have for the smart fashion shopper.
Casual sophistication plays a big part this season in styles so easy and so wearable that you don't have to feel guilty about buying one, or even two. Royal Chie's grey mink hoodie jacket is a prime example of this season's casual yet sophisticated look as is the reversible dyed black Spanish Rabbit coat by Orlando New York and the taupe super sheared reversible suede mink coat by Petrou. The gold-washed fox vest by Badgley Mischka is perfect over a turtle neck with jeans or even a tweed skirt and sweater.
No matter the fashion, classic mink coats are always in style. Mink is one of the warmest types of fur, as well as the most durable, which makes any mink coat an asset for the fall/winter season. From long-haired to sheared to micro-sheared, you can get almost any type of look from this versatile fur. Zandra Rhodes for Pologeorgis delivers several compelling twists on the classic mink this year including a knee-length blue iris mink coat and a luxurious Lunaraine mink belted coat. Designers bring a new edge this season by using a bold technique known as ombre on many traditional furs. This color shading method was seen in Peter Som's plum ombre mink mantle and Cassin's Windsor passion purple ombre mink coat.
Another investment opportunity this season are fur fashions that can be worn as casual sportswear during the day as well as with elegant evening wear. Feraud's pearl mink cape and Adrienne Landau's brown mink bolero jacket exhibit adaptability while still managing to ooze luxury. These pieces are ideal for the woman who needs to transform her look from daytime sporty chic to nighttime sophistication in a matter of minutes.
As durable as it is warm, your fur will be at the height of fashion for seasons to come and, if you choose, it can be updated easily to reflect future trends. And, as fur is a renewable and sustainable resource, your investment in fur is also an investment in the environment.
From casual to elegant to every look in between, fur is smart investment for the fashion savvy this season.

In January 2016 Covestro Deutschland AG changed the nomenclature of several Desmopan® food contact grades, to make it easier for the customer to find the correct Desmopan® grade for his application.
All Desmopan® grades which are in compliance with the various regulations (see register below) now contain the suffix "GMP" in the product name (e.g. Desmopan® 9380A-GMP).
The food contact sign which has been in use on our packaging for several years, will be kept on the packaging in addition to the new suffix.
"GMP" stands for "Good Manufacturing Practice" defined in Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006;
This regulation requires manufacturers to introduce a quality assurance system and a quality control system. The quality control system must include corrective measures for eliminating any weak points related to achieving good manufacturing practice.
The following list gives a quick overview of the available Desmopan® food contact grades.
More information can be found in the register below. You will find the pdf-file with the declaration of compliance following the links below.
Desmopan 2384A GMP 000000
Desmopan 2586A GMP 000000

General introduction
Desmopan® is a versatile product and available in tailored formulations for our customers' applications, including grades suitable for contact with food. All products are required to have their own declaration of compliance, which is written and updated by our product safety specialists (PSRA - Product Safety and Regulatory Affairs) in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
On the following pages, you will find information to help you navigate this complex subject. We also provide you with the latest versions of the required declarations of compliance for all Desmopan® grades currently approved for food contact applications (as a downloadable .pdf file).
The regulations and directives applicable in the EU and its Member States are in some cases very strict and not always easy to understand. The EU began years ago to harmonize legislation on materials that come into contact with food. This process can be considered complete for plastics, but new developments are still expected in other segments. Other regulatory instruments also are involved in evaluating plastics for food contact applications, such as REACH, REACH-SVHC and RoHS, whose continuously expanding Annexes and exposure limits have an impact on the evaluation of our products. Any changes are promptly analyzed by our specialist departments and implemented in updated declarations of compliance.
Article 288 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union sets forth that: "A regulation shall have general application. It shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States." Therefore, an EU regulation enters into force in all Member States immediately after it is issued.
"A directive shall be binding, as to the result to be achieved, upon each Member State to which it is addressed, but shall leave to the national authorities the choice of form and methods." Directives therefore are incorporated into national legislation before they enter into force.
Covestro Deutschland AG must observe three important documents when evaluating the products it intends to market in the EU for food-contact applications:
Note: Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 (in effect since May 1, 2011) replaces Directive 2002/72/EC (commonly referred to as the "plastics directive").
Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004
This regulation sets forth a general framework for materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. All materials and articles used for packaging food must fulfill the provisions of this regulation. For the purpose of giving consideration to the latest scientific findings, this regulation permits the use of "active" and "intelligent" packaging, which extend the shelf-life of a food item or indicate (e.g. by changing color) if the food has spoiled.
Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006
The production of materials for food-contact applications has been required since August 1, 2008, to fulfill the requirements of good manufacturing practice, which are the same throughout the European Union (EU). Manufacturing must be conducted such that the materials pose no risk to consumers, or change the composition or organoleptic properties of the food.
This regulation requires manufacturers to introduce a quality assurance system (i.e. giving consideration to the adequate number of employees required to introduce quality assurance measures, and to the size of the business) and a quality control system. The quality control system must include corrective measures for eliminating any weak points related to achieving good manufacturing practice.
Furthermore, manufacturers must compile and store documentation that includes the specifications, manufacturing formulation and manufacturing process (insofar as these are important for the compliance and safety of the finished material), as well as information on the individual manufacturing steps. The manufacturer, if so requested, must make this documentation available to the responsible government agencies. This applies not only to Covestro Deutschland AG as a manufacturer of plastic granules, but also to our customers who process the material.
Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011
This regulation defines special requirements imposed on the manufacturing and placing on the market of plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. These requirements expand on the general provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 on materials and articles used to package food.
This regulation applies to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. These articles, including parts thereof, can be made:
Placing on the market
The plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food must fulfill the following provisions:
Approved substances
Only those substances listed in Annex I may be intentionally used to manufacture plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. This list comprises:
Notwithstanding the above, other substances not included in this list can be approved under certain conditions.
Substance requirements
This regulation defines the conditions for the use of approved substances (see Annex II) and the migration limits (see Annex I). These migration limits are the maximum permissible quantity of a substance that may migrate from plastic materials and articles into food. They are expressed in milligrams of substance per kilogram food (mg/kg).
All plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food must meet both the specific and overall migration limits (overall migration limit currently: 60mg/kg or 10mg/dm²).
The composition of each individual layer of plastic, from which a material or article is made, must be in compliance with this regulation. However, looser requirements may apply if a plastic layer does not come into direct contact with food.
Declaration of compliance
The manufacturer draws up a written declaration containing the information defined in Annex IV. This information makes it possible to identify the materials, articles or products in intermediate stages of the manufacturing process, and the substances required for manufacturing. The declaration must be renewed if any essential changes are made in product composition or in production.
This summarizes the main European regulations. For our customers, the declaration of compliance is akin to a direct summary of these legal requirements (as well as other, additional national and US directives and regulations). The declaration of compliance from Covestro Deutschland AG is available to all customers at all times (e.g. as a download from this website) and indicates the conditions for intended use. It includes the date of issue and all information required to identify the material and its manufacturer. The declaration states the relevant guidelines and regulations, and contains information on any substances that are subject to food-related restrictions or specifications. Although the legislation defines no expiration date for declarations of compliance, they must be updated if formulations or processes are changed in any way, or if amendments to laws make adaptation necessary.
Furthermore, Covestro Deutschland AG provides its customers with additional information in the declaration of compliance, most importantly on:
