Jefferson County, Missouri sits within the mean center region of the U.S. population, ideally situated for business. Part of the dynamic St. Louis Metropolitan Area, Jefferson County is one of the fastest growing regions in Missouri.
Census 2000 showed Jefferson County's population as 198,099. The 2004 MO estimate was more than 210,000, a 6.21% increase. Jefferson County limits extend over 664 square miles of land, lying west and south of the city of St. Louis. The mammoth Mississippi River borders Jefferson County to the east, affording splendid views to the sub-divisions and towns found there.
People from densely populated Saint Louis County and the city of St. Louis have migrated into Jefferson in the past three decades, as the county experiences residential and industrial growth. Manufacturing ranks as a major industry of Jefferson County, though it used to be primarily agricultural. Today, the southern and eastern sections of Jefferson County remain sparsely populated, with large family farms scattered through the land.
A total of 31 communities comprise Jefferson County, 13 of which are incorporated. The county seat is Hillsboro, population 2,805. Found here is Jefferson College, the only college within Jefferson County limits. The largest community is Arnold, home to more than 20,000. Situated on the Interstate 55 corridor only 20 miles south of St. Louis, Arnold is a thriving city. Nestling on the banks where the Meramec River meets the Mississippi, Arnold offers scenic beauty along with a prime business locale.
The next largest city in Jefferson County is Festus, with just under 10,000 residents. Known as a progressive city, Festus is home to the rock group known as the Bottle Rockets. The town of De Soto, population 6,375, rests peacefully in the beginning peaks of the Ozark Mountain Range, in Jefferson County's southeastern corner. Some other communities in Jefferson County include Byrnes Mill, Crystal City, Herculaneum and Pevely, all with populations less than 5,000. Pevely is the site of the exciting I-55 Raceway.
Jefferson County, Missouri is the perfect location for future growth and ideal lifestyle. Its proximity to the outward migration pattern of the city of St. Louis provides residents with urban amenities while maintaining a more tranquil mode of living.

Police have said that the involvement of the IPCC into the way they handled the case of tragic teen Amber Peat is simply 'standard practice'.
It was revealed that an investigation in to the way the police dealt with the case of the Mansfield girl has been launched by the police watchdog, amidst concerns that they did not react quickly enough in finding her.
The 13-year-old went missing from her home on Bosworth Street on Saturday, 30th May after an argument with her parents.
Her body was found in a hedgerow three days later off Westfield Lane. She died from hanging and police say there were no suspicious circumstances.
But there has been a groundswell of opinion from many local people who felt the police failed to act quickly enough, something that the police have always denied.
The IPCC said they are now looking into how the police handled possible sightings of the girl in the days after her disappearance.
But a spokesman for Nottinghamshire police said: "It's a self-referral to the IPCC, due to the public interest in this case.
"It's standard practice to refer it to them. We want to show transparency and we want them to look into it to make sure we have done everything we possibly could have done.
"It's not a result of complaints."
A spokesman for the IPCC said: "We are conducting an independent investigation into Nottinghamshire Police's response to the missing person's report concerning Amber Peat. The investigation is in its early stages and we have made initial contact with Amber's family to inform them of our investigation."

North East to Middle EastPosted on March 10th, 2011 No comments Tweet
Well after a great 3 weeks on Ghost I went up to Newcastle to join Tim Speight in a spot of the Yes Prime Minster tour which I helped install into the west end back in September. The show has been well adapted to touring, but it managed to keep its grand set, which is good as I thought it looked great in London, and would be a shame to loose. Sound wise its pretty much the same, EM Acoustics system as in the west end, with a DME system control, DM1000 desk and Cue One Qlab Rack. Tim and the team had got everything loomed together nicely, so it was a straightforward job to put in. Only complications were the video side that also fell on our responsibility, 6 plasmas and particularly the flown projector and the usual comms and cameras fun, but with a little fiddling we made it all work! In Newcastle they had a d&B Q7 rig installed so we used there main system, delays and subs with out front fills and SFX speakers, which worked really well, with access to there D12's system delay processing combined with the DME worked painlessly. Hopefully I'll do a few more of the dates on the tour as it comes round, nice couple of days! Well worth going to see if it comes to a theatre near you!
From Newcastle I travelled straight to London for another CSE adventure! This time we were doing airbases in Oman and Dubai, and it was a mini tour so we just had 2 dancers, a duo band, 2 comics and myself and Spoons as crew with Claire Bear from CSE keeping us all together! It was a really brilliant group of people and had a thoughtfully lovely 5 days. We were first in Muscat in Oman where I must say the night flights this time round really messed with our body clocks and we looked like walking wounded arriving at the hotel! However a sleep by the rooftop pool soon fixed that! Both shows were outdoors and the temperature was a rather high 35 degrees! But the kit got setup and was working fine, while I fussed around checking dressing rooms and fixing drapes! I was all analogue for this gig, with a Venice and 2 stacks of Meyer (still not a big fan!), which all sounded fine. Show went really well, and everyone who we spoked to seemed to really enjoy the gig. it was then back to the gig for some post gig drinks, which turned into quite a few post gig drinks and I was downstairs the next day looking at my hotel bar bill in disbelief!
Then off to Dubai via an hours flight which a 5 minute track looping track of Pan Pipes (joy!). When we got there we had the day off so while the girls went shopping, I went to see my good friend Damo "2 Lamps" Jackson who lives out there working for Dubai. It was great to see him, and see a bit more of Dubai than just my hotel room, and the road to the airport. Had a few drinks in possibly the most unirish, Irish bar ever (when do Irish bars have palm trees??), and then back to meet up with the team for a curry. The show the next day was with Rob from Delta Dubai again so the gig went without a pitch, I had two stacks of dVDosc and an SD8, which I quickly picked up again. While I still think for one day gigs its just a little too complicated to operate quickly (can do too many things), there was no denying it sounded superb, and for that reason alone i can't wait for the next time i get to use one! So nice!!
Anyway the next day we went home (with more pan pipes!), and that ended a really great tour, did some great shows and had some awesome laughs with everyone, lets all do it again soon!
For now I am off to design CODYS Productions version of High School Musical in Runcorn… Cheesetastic.

Twisted Sister guitarist
Eddie Ojeda
Listen to songs
from for Eddie Ojeda's solo release, entitled Axes 2 Axes. Features songs with Joe Lynn Turner and Ronnie James Dio......"and they're good. The best Dio song I have heard since
The Last in Line record."
Eddie Ojeda's My Space
FIB MUSIC: What's new, what have you been up to lately and what's in the future?
Well, just recently...this past year 2005, I released a solo album Axes 2 Axes, which features Ronnie James Dio on one vocal, Joe Lynn Turner, myself on four songs and three instrumentals.
FIB MUSIC: Wow, so you sing on four tracks.
Yeah, I'm singin on four tracks, which I realize I kind of put myself up against some really good singers. I kind of raised the bar and I didn't realize until afterwards (laughs). But I am very happy about the way things came out...the way the stuff I sing on came out....you know, it's in my range and I took my time with it and it came out good. And you know, of course I like playing guitar more and if I do tour I plan on having a singer with me...you know, I would rather mostly concentrate on playing guitar....You know I may sing one song just to do it. I am just used to having a singer and playing guitar and I would rather not have to worry about singing. But Gary Moore, you know, he sings on his records, but usually live he always has a singer. But the cd came out in October in Europe and it came out in the States on January 17th. So it is pretty much worldwide right now.
FIB MUSIC: How many tracks does Joe Lynn Turner sing on?
He sings on one track.
FIB MUSIC: How was it working with him?
Great. You know him and Ronnie did some great stuff with Rainbow. And Ronnie of course did Black Sabbath. I mean, you know, some of the stuff Ronnie has done...(laughs)...he's done some HOLY records.
FIB MUSIC: Where did you record your new cd?
I recorded most of it at a recording studio in Manhattan called Beat Street, but I did a lot of the overdubs at my home studio. Joe Franco played drums on it...he played on the Love is for Suckers album when AJ quit the band. Plus he was in Widowmaker with Dee Snider. He has played on a million albums and commercials, you know Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, to all kinds of.....big session guy as well, but he mostly a real rocker, but he is the kind of guy that can play anything. You know, we did it at his recording studio, it's called Beat Street, it's on Broadway and 22nd Street. Great little studio. Joe has been very lucky, I guess he saw the future coming, but without realizing it. All the big studios are closing and all the small studios are doing really well. You know, with Pro Tools and everything, you don't need those big rooms anymore. And even with all the home studio stuff. I have a digital machine at home...I'm able to do my overdubs at home, then put them on a disc and send them to him and he uploads it up on his system. That is basically how I got Ronnie's track for the album. We just sent him a cd and he uploaded on his studio system and sang the vocals and sent me back the .WAV files and we uploaded it up into Pro Tools. It's great, you don't have to send big tapes anymore.
FIB MUSIC: The New Age is great isn't it?
Yeah, it really makes it.....especially when you are doing it coast to coast and you are recording with people who live all over the world.
FIB MUSIC: Anything else you want to tell us about your solo record?
Well...basically I am planning on doing some kind of touring. I am going to call it Eddie Ojeda's Band of Steel. I am going to feature, depending on availability, I might get Joe Lynn Turner on vocals, Rudy Sarzo on bass, Joe Franco on drums, myself on guitar and probably another guitarist. You know, I am going to try and get "name" players from different bands, kind of like an all-star band. Quite a few guys are doing the same thing. It's just great, it's exciting. It brings a lot more to the table when people can go see a band with all different guys. It's a lot of fun to work with a lot of different people that you admire and respect and create something new. Plus, you also have, when you are working with guys like that, you have so much material to choose from.
FIB MUSIC: What about the Twisted Sister reunion, aren't you playing shows with them?
Yeah, we are doing mostly festivals over in Europe. We have one gig in Las Vegas on April 29th I think....it's on the website.
I usually them on my site as well at
. All the Twisted dates are coming up, looks like we are doing a bunch in England this year, with Hanoi Rocks. Still not confirmed yet.
FIB MUSIC: How many shows are we talking about?
Probably six or seven shows.
FIB MUSIC: But no chance of a tour of any kind?
  Well...that's probably like THE TOUR. (laughs) Cause we did a tour with Alice Cooper in the UK. We were there for like sixteen days and I think we did 12 shows. Which that's what it takes to tour the UK. It's not like touring the States, where you can do like 50 shows. Everything we are doing is mostly on weekends, you know, we fly out and do festivals, they're like one-off shows. That is what we have been doing mostly for the last three years.
FIB MUSIC: So nothing for the States?
No, not as of yet. It's just everyone has their own thing...it's kind of hard to commit to something for any length of time.
FIB MUSIC: How has it been playing with the original lineup again?
Great. There's always a certain chemistry with the original members that you don't have. There are so many bands out there now that have one or two original members and it's not the same group or the same vibe. I mean I wish everyone the best and I'm happy that they are out there playing, but I have just always think there's a certain chemistry that you have with the original band that you made it with. This is a perfect example of...you know, with Ace & Peter it's just different, you know.
FIB MUSIC: Especially when they dress the guys up as Peter Criss and Ace Frehley.
Yeah, it is kind of strange. And I'm friends with Ace, so it makes it even stranger for me to see.
FIB MUSIC: Yeah, Twisted Sister had quite a history with KISS. Tell us a little about that.
Well. Yeah, we were both from kind of the same area. I mean, they made it quite a few years before we made it. And I knew Ace from the Bronx, from a long time ago, from the old neighborhood. So we have some of the history like that. And actually JJ French had auditioned for KISS.
FIB MUSIC: Yeah there was always that rumor that JJ played with them in Wicked Lester.
Yeah, they were called Wicked Lester when JJ auditioned for them. And he almost got in the band. I remember he was jamming with them for about a good two months and then all of a sudden I guess they weren't sure...you know, they were trying out different guys and then they tried out Ace and I guess decided to go with him. So there's a little bit of Rock n Roll trivia. Because, you know, if he would joined KISS, there would have been no Twisted Sister.
FIB MUSIC: That's right, because he was an original member from the 70's right? From when the band first started.
Yeah, he was one of the original members. I think right after the Wicked Lester thing, he joined a band...it wasn't this version of the band, it was like the first version of Twisted Sister, then they broke up and then we got this version together and then at first it was just four of us and we decided to get a singer and that's when we got Dee. And then you know, that's when things started to go from there. You know, when Dee joined the band after awhile we started doing originals and just kept building up with the band and the name. We became like a Tri-State phenomena. We would play anywhere within a hundred miles radius on any of the week and get like 2 to 3 thousand kids in a club. It was the late 70's, early 80's.
FIB MUSIC: Who was the original singer?
A guy named Michael O'Neil. Yeah, he was in a band called Pretty Poison first, which was a pretty good band, they just never got the break.
Twisted Sister
Pre-Eddie Ojeda days, mid-70's
FIB MUSIC: Why did he leave the band?
I think he left....basically the band just disbanded, the original band was just.... ummm....they were just partying too much I think when they first got together. What happened was they just couldn't get along any longer and they disbanded. And after awhile....JJ called me up about 6 months after they broke up. He said listen, I going to reform Twisted Sister and I want you to be in the band. So I joined, but I remember going to see them when Twisted Sister first got together and they were cool, but we basically picked up where they left off. At first we weren't wearing the make-up, we were just kinda doing the same music...Mott the Hoople, you know, Bowie and stuff like that...a lot of cover stuff. Then Dee got back into the band and he said let's do the make-up thing again. And that's how the make-up thing started back up. And it sort of evolved into a different make-up, not just like a glam make-up, but kind of evolved into a warpaint kind of look. Which is what it is. Dee calls it HID ROCK, instead of glam rock, you know...for hideous. Hideous Make-up (laughs).
FIB MUSIC: Was there a big difference or momentum change once Dee Snider joined the band?
Yes, I would definitely say that he brought a certain energy that we needed. Cause at first we were going to try to do it without a singer, because all of us had worked with LEAD SINGERS (laughs)
FIB MUSIC: ...and were sick of it?
Yeah. It was like (laughs) no, no, not another singer.
FIB MUSIC: What was the idea. Was everyone in the band going to sing?
Yeah, it was basically myself, JJ would sing....I would do the more melodic stuff. And Kenny, the bass player had a good voice. But the thing is we just got tired of doing it. You know, the original band did have a frontman, lead sing guy...so we were doing ok, but we weren't doing the numbers, or we just weren't getting the crowds we wanted to get, so we wanted to add an addition to the band, to spark things up a bit. So we said if we had a singer it would take the weight off of us having to sing and play and be able to jam out and have guy in the front going nuts you know, talking to the crowd and doing what front men do.
FIB MUSIC: ....And threaten the crowd
Threatening the Crowd? - FIB MUSIC: Yeah - Eddie: (laughs)
FIB MUSIC: I saw you guys back on the Stay Hungry tour, with RATT in Dallas, TX, at the Bronco Bowl..and some guy was sitting down and Dee stopped the show and pointed this guy out...and then began a tirad of abuse on the guy saying he's a pussy and asking him questions...the guy is shrugging it off and Dee finally says "why don't you come backstage and I'll kick your ass". It was classic.
(laughs)...it happened quite a bit.
FIB MUSIC: I was just going to say, I bet you went through that plenty of times.
There were times that even in coliseums when we were touring with Iron Maiden in front of like seventeen thousand people and Dee picks one guy, nose-bleed seats...(laughs)...all the way in the back. (laughs)...it was funny....he'd say, "no, no, you, with the purple shirt on....yeah, you" (laughs) like you know, seventeen thousand people and he finds that one guy.
FIB MUSIC: Did anybody ever take him up on the offer to come backstage? Did he ever really piss somebody off?
No not really, most people were really intimidated by him, they didn't have the balls to do that. They would like give him the finger and stuff like that....and....sometimes people thought that we used to plant people in the audience to take the abuse. Then sometimes people would just do it that like the band. They would just do it to bust balls that night. It was kind of like they would do it to fire Dee up you know? I guess it was like a plant, but it wasn't, we never actually had someone out there to do that. Sometimes you would talk to the guy and he would say, no I love you guys, then why were you doing that....oh, I was just trying to be an asshole. (laughs)...wanted to get Dee all pissed off. This one guy jumped on stage and kind of got in Dee's face...and they both got in each others face and they did the face thing....you know... and bumped each others chests', you know? And then he jumped off the stage. Everybody was going to kill him.
FIB MUSIC: Why did he get up on stage?
Oh, we were saying Disco sucks and this guy goes Disco's great man....in the middle of like two thousand metal heads...saying disco is great.....he had balls, I'll tell you that. This was back in the clubs....he jumped on stage and he had a real disco kind-of-look...a real Saturday Night Fever look going.
FIB MUSIC: So Dee was doing that from the very beginning.
Yeah...Yeah, he always did that, it was just something, I guess it became part of a thing. Dee just couldn't stand when people just sat there with their arms folded and not getting into it. And then I guess it became part of a thing that people expected him to do. I think he just enjoyed doing it. I don't think he did it conciously, I think he would just would see that and get pissed off and just go off on somebody.
FIB MUSIC: Well, I mean how great is it when you have a guy in make-up, threatening to kick your ass?
I know we got make-up on and meanwhile we're hard as nails.
FIB MUSIC: How did you guys find Dee?
Actually, we had this agent named Kevin Brenner. He worked with an agency called CTA. I think it stood for Creative Talent Association and they were a big, big agency...everyone wanted to be with them. But they were hard to get in with. In fact, Cindi Lauper had a band called Blue Angel, before she made it and she was always trying to get gigs for her band and Kevin wouldn't give her the time of day. And when she made it, she used to tell me.."I never liked Kevin"....But to us, he was always great, I guess because we always did well for him, and I never had a problem with the guy, so, you know, some people can get along with one person and hate another...different strokes. For whatever reason, certain bands didn't work out with him and some bands did.
So he was booking a band called Peacock, which is a weird name, and Dee was the lead singer and he wasn't happy with the band. And Twisted already had a name for itself and he had always loved the band and wanted to be a part of it. So Dee asked Kevin and Kevin asked us if we interested in trying out Dee Snider. And it was great from day one. When he first joined the band we were doing all Zeppelin stuff and he looked like Robert Plant from the back of the club...you know from a distance. When you got up close, he didn't look like Robert Plant, but one day I said, "you know, he looks like Robert Plant if you're in the middle of the bar".
FIB MUSIC: Are there any recordings floating around with the original singer?
No. I doubt if there's anything at all, because at the time they were just a club band. The only time Twisted recorded, back then, was when Dee joined the band and that was after awhile when we started writing originals, because there was no real reason record songs that were already recorded. But when we started writing originals that's when we started recording, which was in the late 70's. Most of that stuff we released, because we had a lot of stuff in the can. Club Daze I & II. Some of those things we did in one to two days. Because we were playing clubs so much that we could go into the studio and play live and record and be very tight.
FIB MUSIC: How often did you guys play out back then?
About 4 or 5 days a week.
FIB MUSIC: So you were you able to pay your bills by just playing music?
Oh yeah, we were doing really well. At on point we were one of the highest paid club bands in the Tri-State area. We were making some very good money. For the times.......but even nowadays, some bands now would love to be making what we were making back then. Some of these bands are lucky to get $500.00 or $1000.00 a night.
FIB MUSIC: What were you guys taking in on an average night back then?
I don't really want to get into specifics, but it was great. But a lot of these tribute bands now do really well. There's a Queen tribute band and a Motley Crue tribute band. Some of them are really good, there's one who does Alice in Chains...But some of them do really well.
FIB MUSIC: I know, I have a buddy in Dallas that works at some shithole club and they just had a KISS tribute band play there and the band took in something like $2500.00.
Right. They make 2 to 3 thousand dollars a night. The tribute bands do well. It's some of these bands that try to make it...unless they get a recording deal and do it that way, get a video out. Get a name for themselves and then they go out and tour. Which you know, there are a lot of different ways to make it. I mean we made it kind of the hard way, we did the club scene first and then when we were big on the club circuit, we evolved to the next level. And got a record deal.
FIB MUSIC: Which was your first album, "Under the Blade". Was that record deal only in the UK?
It was a record label called Secret Records, which was a good name for it, because it was pretty much a secret. They were based out of the UK; their first independent label...a guy came and heard about us. We had a big, big buz in the UK. People were selling bootleg tapes of us and that is how he heard about us and he came to the States to see us.
FIB MUSIC: That's incredible, he heard of you guys through bootleg tapes?
Yeah. Huge buz on the band. I mean, the first time we went to the UK, we were playing like the Marquee and all these clubs and I mean they would be PACKED. It was like the same feel that we had over here. So we signed with Secret Records...there was a band called the Exploited and they were signed to them as well. First we did an EP with them, called Ruff Cuts, which was some tapes we already used. And then we made the Under the Blade album with them and recorded that out in the UK, we recorded it in a barn, basically with a mobile unit. Did a lot of overdubs inside the studio...I forgot the name of the studio. Paul McCartney had worked at the studio. Somewhere near Battle, a part of England called Battle.
FIB MUSIC: How long did it take you guys to record Under the Blade?
About two months. I don't know, it was probably more like a month. We used to pop things out pretty quickly, because we didn't have to learn anything, we had been playing these songs for awhile in the clubs there was nothing to learn or write. When we went into the studio we were ready. It was probably more like a month for the first album and I think our second album we also did in England, You Can't Stop Rock n Roll, took about two months.
FIB MUSIC: But you guys were signed to Atlantic Records by that point right?
Yeah at that point we were signed to Atlantic....we lost our deal with Secret Records.... or they went belly up....I think that's what happened, so we had to get a new deal. And then we ended up doing this show called The Tube, which 8 million people watched. It was one of the biggest shows in England, at the time. So we did the show and Lemmy from Motorhead came up and jammed with us on It's Only Rock n Roll but I Like It....there's videos out there, some bootleg dvd's of it. And Phil Carson and Mick Jones happened to be at the studio that day, they were doing an interview about Foreigner. Phil Carson was the VP of Atlantic in the UK and he basically was responsible for signing Zeppelin, YES, ACDC, ABBA, Foreigner...a few successful bands.
FIB MUSIC: Yeah really. (laughs)
So he was with Mick Jones and Mick, who had an apartment in New York, says you know, I keep hearing about this band, I want to stay and watch this band....they are always on the radio, they're playing this place, they're playing that place. Because they used to advertise the hell out of us on the radio, because we were always playing these big clubs. So they stayed and watched it and the next day Phil Carson offered us a record deal.
We were actually offered three record deals and we decided to go with Atlantic. Phil didn't even want to meet us, he just wanted to sign us. But he gave in....he likes us now. I think it was more of a running joke. But he said, I don't want to meet them, I just want to sign them. So we signed with Atlantic.....and of course, he came down to meet us...he was just joking. And that's how it happened. So the second album we did at Jimmy Page's studio.....to be continued.

Haha, finally after some moments of saving money, I managed to treat myself with one pretty intermediate (in price) dish. So, my friends told me about this hotplate dish in Jl. Prof. Yohanes Jogja, I don't know the exact address number since it's quite hidden. Near the Galeria 4-junction (exactly eastern side across that shopping mall) there is a giant parking lot, and there is where this place is located. A little bit hidden and if you don't have any information beforehand, you're gonna take some time to find it.
Plate-O. It's the name. I still wonder why it's named that way. Maybe because the hotplate is in circular shape (I'm gonna give the picture later), but maybe not. This shop new in town, still in its 1st year in operation (during the time I ate there, I asked their waiter). Actually there's another branch or stall in the northern part of Yogyakarta, but I don't know the exact address.
This shop doesn't serve a bunch of menu for the food and averagely priced in IDR 25k-40k based on your topping choices. They have 2 main choices of protein, noodle and rice, and 2 main choices of protein (meat), beef and fish. Back then, my friend ordered the fish one and it's based on spicy red sauce, meanwhile I got this one
Beef Rice Hotplate (+ Extra Cheese!)
Look at that cheese! So far, I still love eating cheese so I ordered extra cheese. This is beef rice hotplate, consists of grilled beef strips, mozzarella cheese, egg, rice with scallion and sweet corn topping, and also sprinkled pepper. Oh boy, I love the entire dish. People say, the way to eat it 'properly' is by mixing each food altogether, but I did it in traditional way, piece by piece. The beef is quite tender and a little bit chewy but in nice dark brown color due to grilling. It's not overly seasoned, just slightly salty and had additional saltiness of the special sauce Plate-O has. The cheese was perfect, tasted amazing and still stringy but the bottom part was slightly overburnt due to the hotplate's heat.Like I said before, the sauce was pretty salty and garlic-y, but I like the style. Maybe adding more sauce would be even more amazing, chef! (because it dried out pretty fast 😦 ):thumbsup:
Unfortunately, by the time the dish arrived, the rice (bottom part) was overly burnt due to the heat, making it hard and crispy, which is the texture I don't like for rice. Probably the cooks put the rice first before the protein or the heat was massive so it burnt my rice rapidly to rice crisps or I should've mixed everything together quickly so the heat should spread to the entire meal. Aside from the taste, the price is quite intermediate for me but it's worth the meal. The ratio is good, the meat isn't lacking in amount, the rice is also at great portion.
It was a great night with amazing dish (a little bit of downside but no problem, though, I still enjoy the entire food). I would like to taste something similar even more, probably with different base, style, and origin. That would be awesome! 🙂 Leave comments in the comment section if you have any ideas or opinions or recommendation on what I should try next, give like if you enjoy reading this experience, and stay tuned for my next foodie trips.
I also do some artworks (in self-practice as well, actually), if you'd like to visit, you are very welcomed to my Artstation and Patreon profile.
and also selling some original merchandise at Redbubble

Disney isn't the only place that makes dreams come true. This week, the Charlotte 49ers baseball program turned one kid's dream into a reality.
8-year-old Xavier Clafee is battling Truncus Arteriosus, which is a rare form of heart disease. With the help of the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, he was brought to the 49ers. The foundation's goal is to better the life of children who are battling diseases and cancers.
Although he is young in age, Xavier has already had three open-heart surgeries and four heart catheterizations. During his last surgery in July, a device was placed in his heart that will grow with Xavier, meaning no more surgeries for at least seven years.
Xavier came out Wednesday afternoon and signed with the program officially. He was presented with Charlotte baseball t-shirts, a hat, and a jersey, along with other 49er swag. After joining the program, Xavier went down to the field, met his new teammates and participated in his first practices.
The Niners lost to in-state foe UNC 14-2 the night before Xavier signed, the sting of the loss was quickly replaced by players being grateful for simply their opportunity to be on a baseball field.
"The word I would put for it is just perspective. It gives us a great perspective on how lucky we are to come out here and play every day," Jackson Mims said.
When asked what position he would want to play, Xavier quickly responded with third base.
Wanting to size up the competiton, third basemen Mims quickly took Xavier under his wing.
The two were seen side-by-side during the warm-up stretches, playing a game of catch, and when Xavier was taking his first swings with the bat.
Charlotte coach Loren Hibbs welcomed Xavier into the 49er family and said he set a good example for his players.
"I think we all realize and we all understand that we are blessed to be able to be out here and be able to do what we're doing," Hibbs said. "When a young man like Xavier comes around here and gets a chance to be in our program and see and hear the struggles that he's had in his very short lifetime in the eight years he's been on this earth, it makes you appreciate everything."
Prior to his surgery in July, Xavier couldn't entertain the idea of playing sports. Now, with oxygen flowing easier throughout his body, Xavier can explore the athletic world. His father, Xavier Clafee, said that while he is still learning about the sport, he's all in.
"He's one of those kids, like, when you say something to him, it's tunnel vision. When we said baseball, team, meet your coaches, for the last three days it has been nothing but let the sheer focus and tunnel vision on the act of what baseball is," Clafee said.
Xavier has an open invitation for any 49er baseball activity, including practices, meetings and games.

Reviewed by Jodan G (age 9)
Ten year old Opal talked her dad into letting her keep Winn-Dixie. Opal's mom had left when she was one year old and Opal was sad about this. Opal talked her dad into telling her 10 things about her mom. This was a good thing for Opal, because she did not know her mother at all. One of the things Opal learned about her mom was that the mother drank alcohol and was not very happy and the mother did not like the father being a minister.
I thought this book was awesome, because it was so heartwarming, but sad. Opal met an older, lonely woman named Gloria Dump, who wanted to have a party but had no friends to invite. Opal invited her own friends and they brought food and had interesting conversations with the old lady, Gloria. Winn-Dixie reminded me of my dog, Bear, who died last October. Winn-Dixie would either run away, or snuggle with Opal when it would thunder. My dog Bear would do that, except he would probably snuggle with me instead of running away. This book also reminds me of when my sister got a new dog, and how she had to train him. Opal had to train Winn Dixie to not break items and so did my sister.
I would recommend this book, because it is enjoyable and pulls at your heartstrings due to the dog running away (and getting found again.)

City Administrator's Annual Blog Discussing: The City's New Fiscal Year
July 1 was the start of the City's new fiscal year. Often, with the start of the new budget year, I get questions about the City's money, where it goes and why can't we "just fix" certain things. In the past, I have covered how the budget works, the role of the City Council and Citizen Budget Committee, and how dedicated funds and Woodburn's General Fund works.
Like all Oregon municipal and county governments, Woodburn practices fund accounting. The City of Woodburn has 25 funds that represent different categories to track revenues and expenses. Each fund must be accounted for completely separate from other funds. Most of the funds have a very specific operational purpose and revenues can only be used for that specific purpose.
The bulk of the City's actual cash resides in the ultra-safe Oregon local government investment pool, administered by Oregon's Treasurer. Like so many of our local businesses, the City continually manages cash flow and cash position along with budget administration. All of this information is shared with the City Council and Citizen Budget Committee. It's also available to any member of the public.
For the most part, Woodburn's General Fund is the only fund that collects revenues without specific restrictions on spending. Restricted by law, regulation or contractual obligations, every other fund that collects revenue must be spent only on items related to that specific fund, regardless of what the City's greatest needs are. For example, the Water Fund collects income from water payments and pays expenses associated with water operations. The Water Fund can also pay for water-related capital projects. However, since these funds are restricted to water-related use, water money cannot be utilized for other City services, such as recreation services, City Hall needs or adding more police officers.
This concept can be confusing because it often means that cities have money to improve water lines, but cannot add more services in parks. Essentially, if the appropriate fund does not have a balance to support the expenditure then we can't afford it. When we consider expenditures we must consider the financial stability of the specific funding source, regardless of how much is in the City's other funds.
While this may seem frustrating at times, it serves as a checks and balance to ensure tax dollars are being spent appropriately, repairs get done on the City's water system and roads can get fixed when they fall into disrepair.

PolyU-affiliated HKCC and SPEED Welcome New Students Enriching the "2+2" Flexible Articulation Model for Students in the New Academic Year
On 2 September 2013, the College of Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE), an affiliate of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), welcomed around 5,000 new full-time students joining its two educational units – Hong Kong Community College (HKCC) and School of Professional Education and Executive Development (SPEED) – which offer associate degree / higher diploma programmes and top-up bachelor's degree programmes respectively. Officiating at the welcome ceremonies were PolyU President Prof. Timothy W. Tong, CPCE Dean Prof. Peter Yuen, CPCE Associate Dean (Quality Assurance) Prof. Peter Walters, CPCE Associate Dean (Development) cum HKCC Director Dr. Simon Leung, and SPEED Director Dr. Jack Lo.
Prof. Timothy Tong, addressing the welcome ceremonies in his dual capacity as the President of PolyU and the Council Chairman of CPCE, said that CPCE offers highly integrated academic programmes for learners to pursue higher academic qualifications. He was also pleased that CPCE's self-financed sub-degree and bachelor's degree programmes "serve to offer youngsters an alternative pathway to pursue university education".
CPCE Dean Prof. Peter Yuen said, "CPCE is now arguably the largest self-financing tertiary education entity in Hong Kong, with over 10,000 full-time students enrolled in our highly popular associate degree, higher diploma and bachelor's top-up degree programmes accredited by the PolyU Senate. CPCE offers '2+2' flexible and seamless articulation pathways to students through enrolling, initially, in HKCC's 2-year associate degree or higher diploma programmes, and eventually articulating to the 2-year top-up bachelor's honours degree programmes leading to PolyU or PolyU-SPEED awards offered at SPEED."
With the aim of further enhancing the "2+2" articulation model, SPEED has been working vigorously on the upgrade of its existing PolyU-SPEED award ordinary degree programmes to honours degree level. In this academic year, SPEED offers a total of 15 PolyU-SPEED award top-up bachelor's degree programmes, including 12 honours degree programmes. Among these, the upgraded honours degree programmes or schemes, BA (Hons) Scheme in Business, BA (Hons) in Hospitality Management, BA (Hons) in Marketing and Public Relations and Bachelor of Social Sciences (Hons) Scheme, are receiving their first cohorts of students.
Dr. Jack Lo, SPEED Director, said "We hope that, by the next academic year 2014/15, the full spectrum of PolyU-SPEED award top-up degree programmes will be offered at honours degree level. For graduates of existing ordinary degree programmes, they will have the option of upgrading their academic qualifications to honours degree level by taking additional credits."
Dr. Simon Leung, HKCC Director, highlighted the high articulation rates of HKCC graduates since its establishment, "From the first cohort of graduates in 2003 to those in 2012, more than 11,300 HKCC graduates have articulated into bachelor's degree programmes. This represents a ten-year average articulation rate of 77.9%, which ranks among the highest in Hong Kong. In 2012, the articulation rate of HKCC reached 83%, with nearly 40% of them pursuing their study on UGC-funded programmes. These are the strongest testimonies of our students' abilities."
"I am confident that with students' efforts and our dedicated support, HKCC students can attain their goals of furthering their studies at universities after completing their sub-degree studies at HKCC. Meanwhile, CPCE's '2+2' articulation pathway definitely opens up more quality articulation opportunities for HKCC graduates," added Dr. Leung.
Established in 2001, HKCC is committed to becoming the preferred community college in Hong Kong. It currently offers 35 associate degree and higher diploma programmes, with most of them being offered through a scheme structure. These programmes span the domains of arts, science, social sciences, business, and design as well as the specialised area of health studies.
Since its establishment in 1999, SPEED offers professionally-oriented, multi-disciplinary programmes designed to meet the changing needs of society. Apart from PolyU-SPEED award top-up degree programmes, the School also collaborates with the PolyU Faculty of Health and Social Sciences to offer the PolyU award top-up honours degree programme, namely BSc (Hons) in Applied Ageing Studies. In addition, SPEED collaborates with renowned overseas institutions namely University of London International Programmes and Northumbria University (UNN) to offer preparatory programmes and programmes leading to their awards in Hong Kong respectively.

NEW YORK -- New York City detectives have recovered surveillance video showing Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam walking alone the night before she was found dead in the Hudson River last week.
The NYPD obtained the new video Tuesday night. It shows Abdus-Salaam walking in the direction of the river in her Harlem neighborhood at about 8 p.m. on April 11. Detectives described this video as being important in the case, as they're working to piece together her last movements before she somehow ended up in the water.
Her body was spotted at 1:45 p.m. the next day after someone saw it wash up on the shore near West 132nd Street.
The next step in the investigation is for detectives to canvas that area Wednesday night to see if anyone remembers seeing the judge at that particular time.
Police initially said no foul play was suspected in the case, but their tone changed Tuesday after the investigation revealed there is no clear indication of suicide or criminality.
Photos: Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam through the years
"We're looking it at as a suspicious death at this point. We haven't found any clear indications of criminality, but at this point we can't say for sure. We're hoping if anyone could shed any light into the hours before her disappearance, it would help us establish what happened," NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis said.
Abdus-Salaam's husband, The Rev. Canon Gregory Jacobs, issued a statement, saying:
"It has been a week since our beloved Sheila's body was discovered in the Hudson River. Since that day, the New York Police Department has conducted a vigorous investigation, but has been unable to determine a conclusive cause of death. A recent statement by the NYPD now calls the circumstances involving the investigation "suspicious." We are truly thankful for their efforts and pray that the facts will ultimately be made known."
He added: "Sheila loved Harlem and its people and lived there for nearly all of her adult life. I now join with the NYPD in asking anyone in the neighborhood to step forward with any information that might help us determine what may have happened during those hours before her death."
Abdus-Salaam, who was 65 years old, was the first African-American woman appointed to New York's highest court - the Court of Appeals.

New information on a popular public figure? By any measure -- in just about any newsroom in the country -- that would qualify as news. And yet, on Monday there was some dispute among fans, Johnson and even a few members of the media as to whether it should have been viewed that way.
Here's what Johnson told the media after he won the Sprint Cup race at Dover on Sunday: "I didn't realize it was one, a secret, or two, public information. Have you had any surgeries lately? Is there any procedures -- when did you have your teeth cleaned?"
To which I would answer ...
Who cares? It isn't newsworthy if a reporter has hernia surgery or teeth cleaned because nobody gives a hoot about what happens to us. We're not public figures. At least, most of us aren't. It's news if Robin Roberts has surgery. It's not news if USA Today's Jeff Gluck does.
Danica Patrick's relationship with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was news when it was first revealed, and Jeff Gordon's bad back at Charlotte in May was news. Winning championships is news. Running half-marathons is news. Falling off the roof of a golf cart and breaking your wrist is news. Having offseason surgery is news. Negative or positive, embarrassing or enriching, it's news if you are a public figure.
And in retrospect, even Johnson seemed to agree:
If Johnson had been forced to undergo surgery during the Chase last season, it would have generated far more significant news coverage and headlines. Because the surgery was after the season and ultimately did not cost Johnson a playoff spot for 2014, the surgery wasn't major news. But Johnson was the one who said it impacted his preparation for 2014. So from a journalist's perspective, asking Johnson about the surgery and writing it was a no-brainer.
The only question is why reporting this story was ever even a question at all.

Change the way you see yourself
When you allow yourself to let in, you can begin to let go.
This course allows you to tap into your inner goddess
Hello my lovely Creatives! My name is Christa and I truly love sharing my passion. I am a SoulFul artist creating inspiration and motivation to help others see and live their passion. After spending 20 years in a career in finance that was anxiety driven, stressful and starving my true soul to live, I decided to leave the safe and secure corporate, cubicle life to pursue my passion for art and teaching. In the past 2 years I have led a happier, more fulfilled life and want to share my journey with all of you. I feel art and creativity play an important role in allowing our souls to let go and let in our true selves. We do not have to spend our lives searching for what it is - we can experience it and live it. My journey will always be a work in progress but I want to give back and allow my journey to bless you and help you find and follow your own journey. Let's grow together!
Follow the Journey

Reported: 10/9/2003 6:11:01 PM 18:11
Posted: 10/15/2003
Location: Carbondale, IL
Shape: Triangle
Duration:45 sec
|I saw a metalic triangle with semi-cirles at the points traveling above the tree line N to NW at 3:35 PM. It picked up speed and left.
The object was traveling N to NW above the tree line. It was triangular shaped with semi-circles at each point of the triangle. The objects color was silver. The tecture of the mechanical object seemed to be similar to a brushed aluminum. I was about 20 to 30 feet from it at my eye level on the 7th floor of the apartment building that I live in. It seemed to be about 3to 5 feet across at the bottom. It caught my eye outside my patio so I went to investigate. I stood there and watched it travel (like it was floating) horizontally right in front of me. When it noticed me the flat side of the pyramid rotated on its axis and faced me. I remember a flash of light that came from the center of the object. I watched it pick up speed and travel N. At this point I went inside to tell someone to step outside and look at this thing in the sky. He came out and it was gone.

Contending that the 'no smoking' warning is a "violation of his creative expression", film-maker Anurag Kashyap told the Bombay High Court on Tuesday that he would not comply with the rules of the Cigarettes and Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production Supply and Distribution) Act while screening his soon-to-be-released film Ugly.
Describing Ugly as a "dark thriller", Kashyap said in his petition before the court, that there are several scenes that depict the use of tobacco products as part of the film's "sinister theme". The petition states that the projection is a "part of the director's vision" and a cinematic genre which is rarely explored in Bollywood.
A division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice M.S. Sanklecha issued notices to respondents including the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and directed them to file their replies by February 28.
On September 19, 2013, Kashyap submitted his film to the CBFC for certification and, in a letter, also said he did not wish to have the anti-smoking message displayed during the film. The CBFC, however, in a letter dated September 20, 2013, told him that on non-compliance of the rules, the film would not be granted a censor certificate. Kashyap, in his petition, said the film's release has therefore been prevented. The film was originally scheduled to hit cinema halls in January. "A mere depiction or display of a character or a situation using cigarette or tobacco product does not attract the attention of audience specifically to the cigarette or tobacco product, nor is it intended to promote the sale of those products and hence, does not amount to advertisement," states the petition.
"As is well known, despite the statutory warning against smoking, a number of persons cutting across our social fabric — be it political leaders, professionals, academicians, doctors, gangsters, army and police officials, bureaucrats, intellectuals, lawyers, anti-social elements or others — do smoke and use tobacco products," it says.
Stating that the Act imposes curbs on usage of tobacco products in films and television programmes, unless an "editorial justification" is provided by the filmmaker, and also necessitates an 'A' certificate from the CBFC, the petition says these provisions are "illegal" as film certification comes under the Cinematograph Act, 1952, and cannot be governed by the Cigarettes and Tobacco Products Act.
"Have you (Kashyap) given an editorial justification?" Chief Justice Shah asked. Kashyap's counsel Virendra Tulzapurkar replied, "Editorial justification is for showing the scene. I am saying I am not going to comply with the rules". The court is scheduled to hear the case on March 5.

We are 6 sleeps away from the yearly visit by the big red man with the white beard, not sure about you but it totally snuck up on me, where did this year go? I started to reflect back on this year, it has certainly been interesting.
During my 2014 photography adventures I have stood in the middle of roads, walked onto other peoples property, got chased off said property by lady with broom, almost got carried away by mozzies, scared the neighbours with my choice of clothes and props, struggled with both the cat and dog to get photos, crawled in the sand, froze my fingers, hands and other parts of my body on the mountain, got followed by a "honking" swan, "greeted" by a lovely dog lunging and pouncing at a gate and played with a wooden stick person, food and wine. Seriously, you must wonder about my mental state, I do all the time 🙂
Who ever said that good photography was achieved by just pointing a camera and pressing a button, got it majorly wrong.
On the serious side this year I have photographed some amazing, beautiful and inspiring women, hosted a Cancer Council Morning tea, turned my Instagram pink for October, attended a 3 day photography conference and allowed a close friend and fellow photographer to "glam" me up and take photos of me.
On the personal side this year I have watched our daughter turn 18, graduate high school and attend her year 12 formal and I even got to see the mighty NSW Blues Origin team win the series this year.
2014 has been a huge year and I wouldn't be here at the end of it without my close group of friends (you know who you are) who are there for me in every way. I also wouldn't be here without YOU, my loyal blog readers as this year has progressed I am receiving more and more emails and messages with feedback and gratitude about my blogs, I am so grateful to be able to inspire and uplift you with my weekly tales.
I truly believe that in 2014 I have grown, learnt, inspired and evolved and I want to thank you all for the ride. I can't wait to see what 2015 brings.
Wishing you all a very Happy and safe Christmas season and may 2015 make all your dreams come true.
Please enjoy this small collection of my 2014 year.
Until next time,
(PS I am on holiday's for the next 2 weeks so the Friday blog will be back in 2015, watch through social media for any surprise blogs over the break)

Romania Câmpulung Onesţi Tomesţi
Our Sisters work in the Bucharest Diocese (Câmpulung) and in the Diocese of Iaşi (Onesţi and Tomesţi). Our mission in Romania began in the 90's when two retired Sisters helped in a voluntary capacity during the summer months. Initially they began working in a hospital in Bucharest, caring for babies who had been infected with HIV and AIDS. They became involved in a Summer School in Câmpulung where English was taught to Romanian teenagers. While in Câmpulung they were invited by the Bishop of Bucharest to become involved in preschool education and parish work.
In May 1994 the first candidates from Romania joined the Congregation. These young Sisters of St Paul ensure that the mission is in good hands.
Today, in 2017, the schools in all three locations are flourishing. As well as educators the Sisters are active members of the local parish, working with youth, Catechetics, members of St. Vincent de Paul Conferences, visiting the elderly in their homes, supporting the poor and the marginalized. One Sister in Tomesţi works in a state-run centre for young people with disabilities.
Learning to become self-sufficient is at the heart of our mission in Romania. Every effort is being made to encourage this. In collaboration with other agencies many projects have been initiated, for example, a sewing project giving employment to a number of people, including orphaned teenagers. A small farm has encouraged the growing of vegetables as well as the making of butter and cheese. The people are proud of their successes.
The Sisters of Charity of St. Paul the Apostle recently celebrated 25 years of their mission in Romania. Click here to read more..

Guest Post: Roots of Birth Abuse
My dear friend Colleen Scarlett, a Licensed & Certified Professional Midwife in Miami, Florida and previously a midwife in Jamaica, wrote a comment to my Birth Abuse post that, I am sure, will be an eye-opener for many of us in birth. Surely there are others that have "seen" these reasons/causes for birth abuse, but I have never considered most of what Colleen says below. It is in this piece that I can finally see a glimmer of hope in erradicating all aspects of birth abuse.
Colleen says:
"Is there any other field of medicine so rife with the potential for abuse than obstetrics/midwifery? Is it because she's, for the most part, naked? Lying on her back? Legs spread? Is it because she's carrying a baby, and we forget that SHE is just as important as her passenger? Because we think a labouring woman is temporarily stupid and incapable of thinking or feeling? Do we really think she "forgets all about it" when the baby is laying in her arms? Why is it that doctors, nurses, and midwives assume it's ok to be rough, yell, push, pounce upon, belittle a woman in labour?
Can you imagine an oncologist walking into a room and saying, "I'm just hanging this bag of medicine, don't worry about it, it will make you feel better" without discussing the risks/benefits and obtaining informed consent? Can you imagine a proctologist shoving his fingers up someone's rectum without introduction or permission? Yet it happens with labouring women every minute of the day, in every hospital, in every city and town.
When you work in birth, you get to witness it all...all the abuse, both physical and verbal. You get to witness the misogynist OB cut an episiotomy with a disgusting smirk on his face while the mother screams and begs him not to. You get to listen to a midwife berate a woman having a difficult labour, telling her it's "all in her head" that she should get over herself and have the baby, already. You get to see her legs shoved open, grabbed and put into stirrups or up by her ears, you get to see fingers put in places only lovers should go, and sometimes, you get to perpetrate these acts yourself.
What, on God's green earth, is the root cause of all this? Why is it we think it's ok to do this to labouring women? If we're going to put a stop to it, we need to figure it out. It's a prevailing attitude, perpetuated by the media in film and television, that pregnant and labouring women, or even women in general, are raving lunatics incapable of making rational decisions, who, like disobedient children, need an authoritarian firm hand to guide them, and even discipline them, in order to get their babies out quickly and safely. And like parenting, for some, discipline equals punishment.
And even women, like victims of domestic violence and child abuse, accept the blame for their treatment. How many times have we heard a newly postpartum mother apologize, APOLOGIZE! for her behavior during labour? For not pushing hard enough when being coached to PUUUUUUUUSSSSHHHHH! For making loud noises while being admonished to "breeeeaaaattttthhhhh!". For trying to escape probing fingers and painful exams while being told to "RELAX! You're making it harder on yourself!".
We've been so brainwashed into thinking women completely lose their minds during labour it makes it easy to abuse them. How can you have a rational discussion with an irrational being? It's easier to just do what you have to do to them and not bother with trying to get them to understand what you're saying. If you think women are so out of it that they can't even hear you, much less comprehend what you're saying, and "won't remember a thing when the baby is in their arms" anyway, it makes it all justifiable. And if women believe, no, FEAR, that they are going to become crazed, violent lunatics who spew profanities, sweat, groan, grunt, roar, bite their partners and shit on the bed, we become even more susceptable to those who use our fears to abuse, coerce, and degrade us."
Simply amazing, Colleen. Thank you so, so much for articulating something I haven't been able to and bringing to light ideas I'd never even considered. Thank you, dear friend.

Something just for fun --- The SITU mess.
11 comments:
Wow! Sheesh...what a job...Yikes.ReplyDelete
Incredible. Was ever a mess so inviting?ReplyDelete
I can hardly wait to see what you post about the interesting discoveries.
Hah!!! You guys said it! Sadly, and the only thing sad about this so far, my duty to my Mom will limit how quickly I'll be able to organize all this and deliver the "goods" to everyone. So we'll all have to be patient. But I promise to continue the "peeks" as I blunder into them. Actually, if my scanner was working today [maybe Monday], I'd give you another one about the Flatwoods/Braxton County "monster" from Ivan's notes, which I found intriguing. I promise a briefnote probably Monday evening if all goes well on Flatwoods.ReplyDelete

Hello, Prof.ReplyDelete
Fantastic. Some folks have classic cars in their garage, you have Ivan's files. I prefer the latter. You lucky man. Time to move a coffee pot and a comfortable chair into the garage. Please keep banging away at this as time and care allow. Unbelievable. Regards.
That's a treasure trove right there. Glad to see it's in such good hands. I can't wait for the gems you will find in that collection. Thanks for the peek.ReplyDelete
Greetings Professor!ReplyDelete
Yep - I double checked when I stopped by the other day (while chasing down some of Eberhardt's bibliographical info on Loch Ness) and it is indeed an original 1892 1st edition of Oudemans "The Great Sea Serpent." Super cool. For anyone interested, it has been republished with original illustrations and for a reasonable price - check Amazon where there are two reprinted editions available. I'd also recommend chasing down a copy of Heuvelman's "In the Wake of the Sea Serpents," which includes much of Oudemans data and cases, and sooooo much more.
Thanks, friend. Tell me when you uncover the next treasure [book or file].ReplyDelete
Amazing! What a treasure trove! And so good to see it in good hands!ReplyDelete
How I would love to camp inside that garage and read/discover everything! To the generations which came after Ivan Sanderson - including me - this is the stuff of Fortean legend, a true Alladin's cave!
How I'd wish the same fate would eventually also befall APRO's files!
Kind regards
If you're ever in the States, Theo, come over if possible to Michigan. Maybe we could get Clark levered out of Canby to join us.ReplyDelete
Re: APRO. We were all set to give that a real try, and even gave a substantial monetary offer probably two decades ago. Didn't even get the courtesy of a reply.
- AnonymousApril 13, 2011 at 8:08 AM
Very sad to see the APRO files locked away with no access. Looking forward to the updates on the SITU files, what I wouldn't give for the chance to spend time digging through those files and see what gems are buried within!ReplyDelete
The APRO situation is, in my opinion, an inexplicable immorality. As an old professor, and particularly one with "Fortean" preservationist tendencies, the intractable keeping of knowledge away from others is a capital crime.ReplyDelete
On "digging" the SITU files: Even in a collection as interesting as this, you need a lot of patience. Every page is not a rough diamond, and Ivan didn't solve the mysteries either, though he cast light on some of them. Lots of materials in a person's files are things which the file-maker just stowed in there in hopes that maybe it would help at some stage of the mystery. Lots more we seekers already know about. So patience is the name of the game.
This is much more like panning for gold than going to McDonald's.

Elderberry has been getting a lot of respect in the media in recent years, but it has long been revered by Naturopathic Doctors and herbalists as a potent immune booster and medicine for the prevention and treatment of influenza.
What is Elderberry?
Elderberry, or Sambucus nigra is one species of elder that is grown primarily in Europe and western Asia. It is a shrub or small tree that has small black berries. The leaves, twigs, branches, seeds, roots and unripe berries are toxic due to the presence of a cyanogenic glycoside. The ripe berries are safe to eat (once cooked) and are used to make syrups, liquors and medicines.
Elderberry and Influenza
Multiple studies have been published in the past decade that support the use of elderberry to prevent the flu, treat symptoms of the flu and to decrease duration and severity of the flu.
A study published in the scientific journal, Phytochemistry (2009 Jul;70(10):1255-61) compared elderberry to Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) and Amantadine – two pharmaceutical drugs used in the treatment of influenza, including H1N1 ("swine flu"). The researchers found that elderberry inhibited H1N1 infection in people by binding to H1N1, blocking the entry of the virus into cells and preventing infection.
An older study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine compared the use of elderberry to placebo and found that elderberry decreased the symptoms of influenza (including fever) within 2 days and achieved a cure of influenza in 2 days in 90% of the group receiving elderberry, compared to 6 days with placebo. The most interesting thing about this study is that it was looking at Influenza type B – a type of influenza that Tamiflu and Amantadine are not effective in treating.
Elderberry has other distinct advantages over Tamiflu and Amantadine. The use of prescription Tamiflu and Amantadine is limited by the potential for side effects. Common side effects of these drugs include insomnia, restlessness and anxiety. No side effects of medicinal elderberry have been reported in clinical studies in adults and children.*
*Consumption of raw and unripe berries, seeds, and other plant parts can cause nausea, vomiting or severe diarrhea.
How to Use Elderberry for Influenza
The best way for most people to take elderberry is in a syrup form. The syrup that I recommend is Sambucol. Dosage is individualized based on age and severity of symptoms (whether it is used for prevention or treatment of influenza).
Start Sambucol within 12-24 hours of onset of symptoms for fastest results. It is unclear whether elderberry is safe in pregnancy. Discuss with your Naturopathic Doctor whether you should use elderberry during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Other Treatments for Influenza
There are a number of natural treatments for influenza. Bed rest, warming socks, vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, Echinacea, Ginseng, Andrographis, Astragalus, Goldenseal, Larch arabinogalactans, homeopathic belladonna and eupatorium, and other natural therapies all have been used successfully in the management of influenza symptoms and may be combined with Elderberry in certain situations.
The best advice if you are feeling the first signs of the flu (fever, aches, chills, fatigue, headache, coughing and sore throat)is to rest, take Elderberry and consult with a Naturopathic Doctor for individualized advice.
The advice provided in this article is for informational purposes only. It is meant to augment and not replace consultation with a licensed health care provider. Consultation with a Naturopathic Doctor or other primary care provider is recommended for anyone suffering from a health problem.

How to Determine Whether a DUI Attorney is Competent to Handle Your Case?
It is estimated that each day people indulge in drink driving almost 300,000 times, but fewer than 4,000 are taken to court for DUI charges. While you might elude DUI charges for as long as you can, it is important that you be informed, prepare and have a strong legal backing to face the case head on when needed. Hiring a competent DUI Lawyer can make the difference between you enjoying life outside and paying hefty fines with your driving license stripped off. With an attorney, you will either have to plead guilty or advance your case to court, but this will depend on the advice and approach your DUI attorney wishes to take. Again, when the situation gets out of hand and the complex court proceedings seem to be overwhelming, attorney's skill

Christmas Stocking
No Fooling! The Quick & Easy Christmas Stocking is just as it's promised. It is truly quick and easy!
I substituted my yarn for Red Heart Boutique Midnight as it has more of a rustic look with sparkle incorporated into the yarn. You can make the colours of this stocking to match your own personality.
In this tutorial, I gave suggestions on how you can change up your stitches and still have success, from the top of the stocking to the start of the heel is open to free choice I think. You need to go about 10″. This stocking is not worked in rounds but back and forth in rows. So as long as your stitch counts are correct with keeping the same number going across, you can play with different stitches to get to the 10″ length you need!
Want to try this stocking, get the free written pattern. It's called Quick & Easy Stocking.

Serena Crowley, an architectural designer in CA, Chicago, CT & London) was on the hunt for a new house in New Canaan and William Raveis agent, Hannelore Kaplan was tasked with the job. (The two have a great friendship they've developed over the years in New Canaan). She discovered that this gorgeous home at 64 Oak Street (only a 10 min walk from the train station) was to be made into a multi-family condo and showed the exterior to Serena. They contacted the owners, a couple that had lived there since the 1940's, and together they made an offer.

Spotlight On: HINGHAM, MA
Just a half-hour ferry ride from the center of Boston, Hingham, MA is a commuter's waterfront paradise. Leaving work to head to Boston's South Wharf and boarding a ship home is reminiscent of older Boston times. It's got a classically American feel to it; coming home by sea. Founded in 1633 and named Bare Cove before its current moniker became permanent two years later, Hingham is 23 miles to Boston proper. For its waterfront dwellers, suburban life outside the city has some amazing perks. If you were to visit on a weekend, here's what our locals would have you do.

Join the Junior League of Seattle on Saturday, April 5, 2014 by making an impact on the community and promoting volunteerism! Approximately 100 trained volunteers will be providing direct service at over 10 volunteer events across the greater Seattle area, offering much-needed volunteer resources to improve the health, education and welfare of women and children. Volunteers will be participating in a wide variety of projects to serve the following community organizations: YWCA, Boys & Girls Club, Solid Ground, Mary's Place, Youthcare, Lifewire, Northwest Harvest and Food Lifeline.
Formed in 1923, the Junior League of Seattle (JLS) was founded on the idea that the greatest way to make a positive impact on the community is to empower and train female leaders while promoting voluntarism. Over the decades, JLS has made an unprecedented contribution to the welfare of women and children in the Puget Sound area by developing projects that are still making a difference today.
90 Shifts for 90 Years
This year, the Junior League of Seattle celebrates its 90th anniversary as the premier women's organization in the Puget Sound area. In honor of our anniversary, JLS is committed to completing 90 service shifts to make an enormous impact in the community. 90 Shifts for 90 Years is a memorable way to commemorate our dedication and enthusiasm for community service. Throughout the year, JLS members have been volunteering their time and skills in a wide variety of service shifts. We are close to our goal of 90 shifts and need everyone's help and support for our Big Day of Service!
League members are invited to save the date and sign up for a volunteer shift. This is a great occasion for committees and provisional groups to join a shift together to celebrate the year's work. Additionally, this is one of the last opportunities to obtain service shift credit for member obligations.
Shifts are visible on the JLS website and will be located in multiple locations throughout the greater Seattle area. You are welcome to bring friends and family to volunteer, and again, our goal is to have as many volunteers out in the community at the same time. Help JLS reach our goal of 90 service shifts for 90 years, with at least 100 volunteers, and give back to our community.
We need your help to make April 5 the best Impact Day yet!
