The Bears had a script heading into the final day of this weekend's NFL draft.
In the fourth round, general manager Phil Emery was aiming to come away with a running back-safety combination, addressing two major needs on his roster. Only one problem: Emery began the day with only one fourth-round pick. So after selecting Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey with the 117th overall selection in Round 4, the Bears had to pull off a trade with the Broncos to move into the 131st slot. And once there, they added another secondary newcomer in Minnesota safety Brock Vereen.
Golden Gophers defensive backs coach Jay Sawvel, who helped develop Vereen for the past three seasons, remains one the of the young safety's biggest fans. In a recent phone conversation with the Tribune, Sawvel dissected Vereen's strengths and detailed the areas where he'll need to improve to become a significant contributor in the NFL.
Q: Brock played all over the secondary last season. He started the year at safety, then in midseason made the move to cornerback. What all went into that?
JS: We started him off the season at safety and we had really, in my mind at that time, three pretty good corners. But what happened is one of them tore his ACL the second game of the year in Briean Boddy-Calhoun. And one of our other corners, Derrick Wells, was just continually hurt. … We get to Michigan (on Oct. 5) and Derrick got hurt again and the guys that came into play for him just didn't play very well. And I'm standing there watching this happen knowing full well what we've got to do to help fix our defense and that's to move Brock Vereen to corner. … It was something I talked to Brock about after that game. I didn't say anything about, hey, this is definitely going to happen. I said, 'You've got to be on board with this too for us to make the change.' And to his credit, here's a guy who's in his senior year, trying to become an NFL player who is all of a sudden, middle of the season, being asked to play a position that he hasn't played for a year-and-a-half. And Brock willingly did it. There are a lot of guys out there who would have been resistant to that, thinking that, 'Well, I'm not going to play as well if you move me to a different position.' But that wasn't him. He was on board with it. He said that was the best thing we could do for our football team to win. … So we've moved Brock to corner and really the rest of the season, if you look at us defensively, we played really, really well. Brock stabilized us.
Q: A lot of the folks that talk about Brock point immediately to his leadership skills, his passion for the game, his positive energy. How did that stand out to you during your time with him.
JS: When we got to Minnesota (as a coaching staff after the 2010 season), he was really eager. … He was eager to learn, he wanted to be coached, you could coach him hard. He spent extra time watching video. And his leadership, there's a lot of things in the summer that as coaches we can't do with our players. And so it was real easy for me. Because I could get together with Brock Vereen and say 'Brock I want you to do this, this, this and this.' And he'd do it and he'd probably do it every bit as good as I could have.
Q: Obviously, his older brother Shane is in the NFL with the Patriots and his dad played in college and a little bit professionally. Brock said since he was younger that really allowed him to learn and understand football at an advanced level. Is that something you noticed?
JS: Yeah. That did strike me. You can move Brock around and we could really do a lot of different things with him. I think he played a lot at nickel for us, being on an inside receiver, blitzing, playing like an outside linebacker in certain zone coverages. He was a good run defender in doing those things. He tackles well. He understands where the ball needs to be, uses his hands pretty good. He's a good football player. And the thing is, sometimes as a really good football player, you may not do one thing singularly great. He just does a lot of things really, really well. And because of that he makes a big impact. It's really easy to see that we're significantly better when he's out there. … I think that's the thing that Brock brings. Brock isn't dynamic. But he's consistent. Pretty much every game, you're going to get the same thing from Brock Vereen as what you got the week before. And there's a lot to be said in the NFL and at any level of football for a guy that's that consistent.
Q: The Bears have him pegged as a safety. What strengths does he have at that position?
JS: We ended up playing a lot of field and boundary and we had him in the field because Brock was able to effectively do a lot of things on a No. 2 receiver to the field side and cover guys and do things that allowed you to maybe press a corner. You didn't have to feel like you needed to have help upside of him on certain routes. He can hold up in a variety of different situations. I think that was the thing that he learned as a corner. Even his last couple games as a corner as a sophomore in 2011, he had a great game against Illinois playing against (receiver) A.J. Jenkins, who was a first-round pick. Now I know A.J. flamed out as a pro. But Brock had a great game playing corner on him. So this was a guy who brought really good cover skills and had a really good feel for the game. You could plug him in a lot of different ways and he can function really well. He gets it. He understands it. Whether you want him to take zone pass drops or get up and cover somebody man to man, he's just really good at a lot of things.
Q: What are the areas for improvement that need targeting?
JS: I think he can become a better blitzer. I think that's one thing that he's got to be able to do with some of the things that the Bears are going to ask him to do. He's had some issues there, false-stepping and things like that, getting off the line on his blitzes and stuff. As a safety, for him, he became really effective. He had a good year at safety (in 2013) until we had to move him. He tackled. He's surprisingly good in the box. You roll him down in the box and he's better than average at that. ... But I'd say the biggest things with Brock is that he can continue to develop his ball skills. I think there are times out there when he fights a higher, deeper ball. That's something he'll need to continue to improve on. He does track balls pretty well. He does break on balls pretty well. And he's a really disciplined player. So the one thing about him is if he gets beat on a play, he's going to be there. You're just going to have to beat him on that play. That's the biggest thing. That was a very big relief as a coach. And he helped our other players with that.
Q: So it's an overall reliability that you're talking about in terms of being in the right spots and understanding his fit in the defense?
JS: Exactly. I'd go to bed every Friday night and could put my head on the pillow knowing what we were getting from Brock Vereen the next day. That's a great feeling as a coach. I enjoyed coaching him. He's a guy I truly loved coaching and he's an eager-to-learn guy, a professional. They're never going to have to worry about him when he's away from the Bears complex that he's going to be in places that he shouldn't be, doing things he shouldn't be. He's just a good kid. There's an all-around solidness to him and I think he can develop and become better as a special teams player. He was solid for us on special teams. But I think there are even better things ahead of him as a special teams guy.
Q: Size-wise, he certainly doesn't have elite length for the NFL and he's coming into a division with guys like Calvin Johnson darting around making plays. What's the biggest challenge for him in compensating for that?
JS: You're going to have to be in the right spot. And you're going to have to play really physical when you do that. Because there is going to be a time when you go up against a Calvin Johnson where you're going to have to make him complete a really good play. You don't want it where you weren't quite in position and he made a catch that was pretty routine. You want to make him make a great catch. And I do think Brock gives himself a chance at those sorts of things. So when you go back through our season, it's not that receivers didn't catch balls on Brock from time to time. They did. But when they did, they had to execute a really good throw and a really good catch to do it. There wasn't any time where you looked and said, 'What was he doing? Where was he at? Boy, he didn't cover that very well.' Those times are rare. Non-existent even. So that's the biggest thing. He's going to have to now adjust to that level of being able to put himself in the same positions he did in college to give himself a chance. Even if he doesn't force that interception, he can force an incompletion on some of those plays against some of those elite people.

Growing up, I was the youngest of three boys, each one of us 3 years apart. We had our share of arguments, fights, and wrestling matches. My middle brother could be pretty mean to me—at times he took advantage of his size and age. I remember fantasizing about the day that I would take revenge! But of course, by the time I was old enough to protect myself better, I lost interest in beating him up.
I wasn't always innocent either. I knew how to bait him, get him riled up, and then position myself so that he would get in trouble with our parents! All little brothers and sisters can be... Read More

Kiss Me Kate
The 1953 MGM musical tells the tale of two once-married, now-divorced musical theater actors, Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi, who are performing opposite each other in the roles of Petruchio and Katharina in a Broadway-bound musical version of William Shakespeare's play. Already on poor terms, the pair begin an all-out emotional war mid-performance that threatens the production's success. The only thing keeping the show together are threats from a pair of gangsters, who have come to collect a gambling debt from the show's Lucentio, Bill Calhoun. In classic musical comedy fashion, slapstick madness ensues before everything is resolved.

How the Arab Spring Has Weakened U.S. Intelligence
Among American spies there's more than a little nostalgia for the bad old days. You know, back before dictators started toppling in the Middle East; back when suspected bad guys could be snatched off a street somewhere and delivered to the not-so-tender mercies of interrogators in their home countries; back when thuggish tyrants, however ugly, were at least predictable.
It's not a philosophical thing, just a practical one. Confronted by the cold realities of this year's Arab Spring, many intelligence and counterterrorism professionals now see major dangers looming near at hand, while the good news—a freer, fairer, more equitable and stable Arab world—remains somewhere over the horizon. "All this celebration of democracy is just bullshit," says one senior intelligence officer who's spent decades fighting terrorism and finds his job getting harder, not easier, because of recent developments. "You take the lid off and you don't know what's going to happen. I think disaster is lurking."
To be sure, Osama bin Laden has finally been terminated, but the impact of that single operation on Al Qaeda and its affiliates may have been both overrated and overstated by a U.S. administration anxious to score political points. If, as claimed, bin Laden was still directing operations, what were they? No actual plots have been publicly identified. "Bin Laden needed killing, and I am glad he is dead," says another veteran American operative—let's call him Mr. Mum, because he's not authorized to speak on the record. "But bin Laden is what he was: this old guy who got lucky on 9/11, sitting in a crappy little room watching a crappy little TV and trying to pretend that he mattered."
Members of the Obama administration leaked a story to The New York Times last week saying the U.S. actually has stepped up operations against Qaeda-related groups in the midst of Yemen's chaos, "exploiting a growing power vacuum in the country to strike at militant suspects with armed drones and fighter jets." But some think the claim sounds suspiciously like an administration that's in the dark, whistling. "I think it's more signaling than fact," says Princeton University's Barbara Bodine, a former U.S. ambassador to Yemen. And in the meantime the chances of killing the wrong targets in such raids go up astronomically. "With the loss of intelligence cooperation with Yemen, we are trying to cut back the jihadis as much as possible," says terrorism expert Bruce Hoffman of Georgetown University. "But where it used to be surgical, it's now much blunter."
Over the long term, in fact, the key to defending Americans and U.S. interests from attacks by jihadists is either to insert spies into their organizations or to persuade people who are already inside to talk. Aerial surveillance and communications intercepts are useful, but solid information from human sources is vital, whether you're targeting specific terrorist leaders or trying to disrupt operations in other ways.
The Americans have spent long years building liaison relationships with key figures in the military and intelligence apparatuses of countries across the Middle East who might deliver that kind of detailed information. But now, says Christopher Boucek of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, "the Libyans, the Tunisians, the Egyptians, the Yemenis—they are either gone or going." And a particularly cruel irony, as a former CIA station chief in the Middle East points out, is that these relationships were so focused on catching a handful of terrorists that they missed the oncoming tidal wave of popular revolt. "What intelligence is supposed to do is be ready for things like this," he says.
The thought is underscored by Edward Walker, a former assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs who now teaches at Hamilton College in New York state. "We became far too overreliant on those networks," he says. "When you are totally dependent on local intelligence organizations, you tend to protect them." In the process America becomes blind to what the regime will not see.
A quick tour of the counterterrorism horizon suggests just how unprepared the CIA, the Defense Department, and other U.S. government entities are for the post–Arab Spring world, and how hard it will be for them to rehabilitate their old techniques for fighting terrorism. For almost 30 years, U.S. intelligence relied on Hosni Mubarak's Egypt as a key ally, and the pivotal figure in that relationship was Gen. Omar Suleiman, director of the country's General Intelligence Services, commonly called the Mukhabarat. "He's philosophically Western and a cultured man, and he was a linchpin," says Mr. Mum.
The partnership became a top priority in the 1990s, when Egypt faced a serious terrorist threat led by Ayman al-Zawahiri—the man who eventually joined forces with Osama bin Laden to create what is now called Al Qaeda. In the Clinton years the CIA used its global reach to track down members of the organization, then sent them to Egypt for interrogation that often extended to torture and in some cases execution. From Egyptian jihadists picked up in Albania and elsewhere, the Mukhabarat and the CIA gleaned important information about the inner workings of Al Qaeda. But the United States compromised its moral standing by accepting "with a blink and a nod" Egyptian assurances that no torture would be employed, says Walker, who was the U.S. ambassador to Cairo at the time. In any event, the intelligence gathered wasn't enough to stop Al Qaeda's 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.
The "rendition" program continued in close cooperation with Suleiman after 9/11, but the Bush administration evidently pushed hard for the kind of intelligence it wanted rather than the kind it needed. One captured Qaeda operative, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, was tortured by the Egyptians until he confessed there were operational links between his organization and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, although in fact there were no such links. "They were killing me," al-Libi was quoted as telling the FBI later. "I had to tell them something."
When the popular revolt against Mubarak hit Egypt this January, it caught everyone off guard, not only the octogenarian dictator himself but the CIA and even the Mukhabarat. It's not entirely the CIA's fault that it failed to see the approaching storm: for all the supposed cooperation, the Egyptians had always tried to prevent the Americans from investigating popular dissent inside Egypt. "There was a pretty clear line drawn," says Mr. Mum. Part of the price of cooperation against international terrorists was enforced ignorance about domestic unrest.
But when Mubarak fell, he took his longtime intelligence chief down with him. As the protests grew in Tahrir Square, the old man moved—with more than tacit approval from the United States—to name Suleiman his vice president and likely successor. But the crowds in the street refused to sit still for any such thing. Suleiman has been out of intelligence work, as well as politics, ever since. No one can say who might replace the ousted Mukhabarat chief as Egypt's link to the U.S., and it's not just a matter of his job title. "All intelligence liaison is based on personal connections," says Georgetown's Hoffman. "Before, you were working with people who were focused on the international terrorist threat and focused on their mission. Now, if they are focused at all, it's on the internal threat, and their mission is saving their jobs. And many of them will see having anything to do with the United States as toxic."
The disruption is even greater in Libya. British and American intelligence forged close ties in the 1990s with Tripoli's veteran spymaster, Moussa Koussa. The relationship became tighter still after 9/11 and played a vital part in Muammar Gaddafi's "rehabilitation" in Western eyes. Counterterrorism made strange bedfellows: Gaddafi was obsessed with stopping Libyan jihadists who had tried for decades to murder him and overthrow his regime. The U.S. was focused on the same group because Libya was the home country of many recruits to Al Qaeda's ranks in Afghanistan and Iraq. But early this year, Gaddafi suddenly released hundreds of hardened jihadist fighters from his jails, claiming they'd been rehabilitated. "We have no idea where they are," says Carnegie's Boucek, who interviewed some of them at the time. But when the popular revolt against Gaddafi began, America, Britain, and France took the lead in providing air support for the rebels. Koussa quickly defected to London, depriving the West of its No. 1 Libyan intelligence channel. And now there are reports out of Mali and Algeria that quantities of sophisticated weapons, including shoulder-held surface-to-air missiles, are making their way from looted Libyan arsenals into the hands of Qaeda factions deep in the desert.
The situation is no less precarious in Yemen. In recent years America has deployed advisers there, working to build up the elite counterterrorism unit of the country's Central Security Organization, commanded by a nephew of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Last week the dictator was in Saudi Arabia, convalescing from injuries sustained in an explosion at his presidential compound on June 3, and he seemed likely to remain in exile. His relatives are still on the ground in Yemen, but at this point there's no way to say whether they will concentrate their firepower on anti-regime protesters, on rival tribes, on each other, or on all of the above. One thing seems certain: they probably won't expend much energy or ammunition against the jihadists who call themselves Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
The terrorist group isn't likely to seek out any such confrontation. The fact is that the wildly spreading instability that has accompanied the Arab Spring is custom-made for the jihadists' needs. "Al Qaeda thrives in weak or failing states, not failed states," says Boucek. "They are dependent on a certain amount of things working. They don't want to live totally off the grid. And the space that is best for them is a place where the central government is weak but not totally collapsed." At the moment, only a few of the Arab world's wealthiest monarchies—most notably Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates—seem to be safely outside the semifailing category.
Which is why the Americans have once again turned to Riyadh as their discreet and indispensable ally. In Yemen particularly, the Saudis have their own operatives on the ground and many tribal leaders on their payroll. The kingdom's main objective—to stabilize Yemen while eliminating Al Qaeda—is much the same as Washington's. But can Saudi Arabia really resist the region's seismic change? If the country is about to erupt as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria have done, would local intelligence services know? Would the Americans? The record is far from encouraging.

Oh my gosh! You rock. Those gifts look gorgeous. It's very difficult to pick a favourite because everything's so lovely so I will say the lace tape, which I would give to my sister who needs something to seal the envelopes on her wedding invites (as they're not very sticky). Love your blog.

I hope the boiler repairs itself soon - nothing worse than hearing a repairman suck his teeth before giving a large quote!

It's just impossible to pick a single thing from your shop as it's all so lovely. I agree with the above two posters that one of my favourite items would have to be the lace tape. However, the notebooks with the scalloped edges just have the edge for me. Hope your boiler kicks back into action - you have my sympathy (having spent a month last year with no hot water, and ice on the bathroom windows brrrrr).

This is an impossible task! For some reason, I've never before visited your shop, but I'm hooked!
To be pragmatic, I'm going to select the item I'd use the most -- the charcoal agate notebook. But I'm quite partial to the tape designs, as well!

I love your shop - I can't resist stationery and I am gutted that I hadn't visited it before as I have just bought some baker's string. I think it's hard to pick a favourite but I suppose it would have to be the Paris Polaroid postcards. I am wrapping my Christmas pressies in white tissue so these would look lovely tucked under the ribbon. It's so cold - hope your boiler fires up!

I have been following your blog for some time now, but I'd never seen your shop! I love the typewriter tape. And the Paris polaroid cards. I have to choose one? The tapes are just sooo original, I'd have to go for that. I hope you have lots of blankets around you and a good pot of tea. It's freezing out there!

What an awful time to be without a boiler - it's icy today! Snow in December is a rare treat though; reminds me of this warming little thought, which seems appropriate at this time of year:
"It's the national addiction: warmth on chilly winter nights, innocence on Saturday afternoons, the essence of hearth, home and blissful abandon." (Patricia Linden)
Just the spirit evoked for me by the lovely things in your shop. My favourite is the Owl tape. Congratulations on your Big Blog Benchmark!!

I feel for you regarding the boiler - it's freezing here in London tonight. Hope it realises the error of its ways soon.
Congratulations on the 600th post of a truly inspirational blog.
As for my favourite item in your shop, as others have said it's hard to choose, but if pushed I'd have to go for the 'Library' birthday card as it's so original. The 'Noted' notebook came a close second though.

I am freezing just thinking about you - hope you can get your boiler fixed soon!

your shop is so lovely!!! I have to say that the lace notecards are gorgeous, as are the paris polaroids!

Oh, the owl tape, please!! And here in northern Vermont there was a big "thump" in our house this morning, which we soon discovered was caused by the double faucet of the utility sink in the basement exploding off the *frozen* pipes under the unsealed window... Had to turn off the water main, call a plumber to the rescue, and go to work with no shower. Good luck with your boiler!!

It is rare to attend a conference at which the faculty and the participants are so intermixed, and I think that was the most valuable part of the conference. I had great conversations with people from Lonely Planet, Traveler's Tales, Fodors and Frommers (including Pauline Frommer). Tim Cahill (one of my all-time faves) gave a fantastic talk, and I hung out in line for the bathroom with Eric Weiner (and it is "whiner" not "weener") talking about his next project, a book about religion. Alison Wright brought me to tears with her photographs, many of which I recognized from the pages of National Geographic and other publications. And Simon Winchester -- well, he is downright hysterical and a hell of a storyteller. Even puffins call his name!
I also had some heartbreaking conversations with newspaper people -- many of whom are faced with buyouts, layoffs, and an ever-changing publishing industry. But the people who work at internet outlets had some encouraging words. Clearly publishing has more growing and changing to do -- some of which will be very painful for the country's most talented writers.
Tom Swick, consummate newspaperman and lover of words, taught a great class on Narrative Non-Fiction. And unlike at some conferences, my classmates were truly talented writers with stories to tell and evolving writing lives. We had some tremendous conversations together.
Looking for a good conference? I recommend this one. For more information visit Book Passage, one of the world's great bookstores.

We are officially in the double digits!
Only 87 days until our fairytale wedding in NYC!
Now we shall debut our wedding invitations, which reads...
Deborah and Kenneth PetrushonisTogether withNellie and William WalpoleRequest the pleasure of your companyAt the eternal binding of their daughtersCorrine Anne PetrushonisAndStephanie Frances WalpoleOn Saturday, the thirteenth of OctoberTwo thousand and twelveAt four o'clock in the eveningAt Midtown Loft and TerraceNew York, NYOutdoor ceremonyReception to follow ceremony"With your baby's breath, breathe symphonies, come on sweet catastrophe"
Choosing our wedding invitations was probably one of our hardest wedding tasks. We wanted invitations that combined both of our wedding colors, red and pink, as well as our autumn and Victorian theme. Nothing we found came close to what we envisioned as our perfect wedding invite, but we weren't about to settle for anything less. Luckily for us, Cori's wonderful sister and Maid of Honor, Natalie, offered to use her artistic skills to create our wedding invites.
Natalie was able to incorporate our colors and themes flawlessly. Our names were written in gold and separated by simple Victorian knot. Natalie also hand-drew beautiful and lifelike autumn leaves, which bordered to left of the invites. The leaves displayed autumn colors with a focus on the color red and they were laid elegantly against a faded pink.
|Wedding Invite, Created by Natalie
We chose the song lyric "With your baby's breath, breathe symphonies, come on sweet catastrophe" from the song Hurricane by Something Corporate because we love music just as much as we love each other and we needed to honor that notion. Music has impacted our lives both individually and together. These invitations wouldn't be "us" unless we incorporated a meaningful lyric and this specific lyric defines us perfectly. This lyric isn't from our chosen wedding song, but it is from another paramount song that never fails to remind us of each other.
|Something Corporate Album Cover - Audioboxer
We ordered the invitation stationary in bulk, carefully choosing our colors. After careful consideration, we first decided to use white paper to better showcase Natalie's work. The paper would be laid upon a piece of red paper, which will border the wedding invite. We then chose a pink envelopes, as well as pink RSVP return envelopes. Lastly, we chose gold for the pocketfold, which greatly added to the elegance.
|Finalized Invites
Before sending out the wedding invites in mid-June, Cor and I enlisted Natalie and spent a whole day at their family's cottage putting the invitations together. Everything was going smoothly, until we realized that we ordered the wrong size envelopes. Fortunately, we were able to place another order for the correct size envelopes and have them shipped to us within the next day, which allowed us to stay somewhat on schedule. As frustrating as it was, if this was the worst of our wedding planning, then we are doing pretty well!
|Our Work Station
|The Glue Girl
|The Sorter
|The Crew <3
Last, but certainly not least...
A colossal thank you to all of our readers for helping us reach over 10,000 views! Thank you for all of the support!! xox

This page outlines the standard application and funding process of the Community Environment Fund.
CEF standard application and funding process
Stage 1
1. Complete and submit the application forms (part 1 and part 2)
- Applicants must complete the CEF application form for the funding round and submit it by email to firstname.lastname@example.com by the due date.
- Incomplete applications will not be assessed.
2. Application assessment
An assessment panel reviews all eligible, complete applications and makes funding recommendations.
All applications are assessed against:
- CEF eligibility criteria and assessment criteria
- general government 'value for money' criteria
- the Ministry's key priorities, see A generation from now – Our long-term goals
- the funding principles
- other applications received in the same funding round.
The assessment panel makes recommendations for funding. The Minister for the Environment then decides which projects are invited to proceed to Stage 2 of the funding process. An invitation to Stage 2 is not an approval for funding.
The invitation to proceed to Stage 2 will stipulate the maximum amount of funding provisionally awarded to the project. This amount might be less than the amount of funding requested. When this happens, the scope and scale of the project may need amending during Stage 2 of the funding process.
Stage 2
1. Finalise project details
Applicants who reach Stage 2 are allocated a funds analyst from the Ministry to support them through Stage 2 of the funding process. Stage 2 involves finalising the details of the project for incorporation into a Deed of Funding. The Ministry will undertake independent third party due diligence and reference checks on the applicants invited to Stage 2 and their projects at the same time the deeds and funding are being prepared. Applicants have around three months to complete Stage 2 of the funding process.
2. Sign Funding Deed
Successful applicants are required to sign a Deed of Funding with the Ministry. Proof of legal entity status will be required before the Deed of Funding is signed.
The Deed of Funding describes the obligations and rights of the contracting parties and includes the following details:
- contracting parties
- contract term (maximum of three years)
- project description
- funding conditions
- activities and deliverables
- intellectual property
- liability
- payment conditions.
Deed of Funding [DOC, 228 KB]
Deed of Funding [PDF, 397 KB]
3. Start project
Fund recipients begin work on their projects and report to the Ministry on project progress as stipulated in the Deed of Funding.
The Ministry monitors and assesses each project against the stated performance measures and conditions within the Deed of Funding. Progress payments will be made in arrears once agreed deliverables have been submitted to the Ministry and have been assessed as complete and satisfactory.

If you have questions about the fund, or would like to be added to our email update list, please contact the Community Environment Fund team.

Cat Spraying
If you have ever had an inside cat you know all about cat spray and how foul it can smell. And yes female cats do spray by the way. People that do not have cats will probably not know this little fact. But the people that have cats know all about it. So what is it made of you ask? Cat spray is made up of a mixture of pheromones and urine, and smell god aweful when coming from a cat (pheromones are the scents that all animals put off in order to find a mate and to mark there territory).
A female or male cat will spray to not only mark his territory but to also show signs of affection. Cats spray when they feel threatened or are nervous (yes cats can get nervous too) Cats will also spray when they are in heat or are pregnant.
So what is the best way to clean cat spray First DO NOT USE Ammonia. Cat Spraying No More and Ammonia will only intensify the smell and make it worse. I recommend using Vinegar and Water. Vinegar neutralizes the Cat Spray on Contact. You can also use Oxi Clean, it seems to work really well on killing the smell.

Baltimore is reining high as one of the best place to find innovative cuisines. The part of the best baltimore restaurants inner harbor is, they not only invent contemporary recipe, but also keep alive the legendary cuisines. The restaurants in Baltimore inner harbor are mushrooming in the valley and those of you in search of the great culinary experience look no further than Baltimore. The restaurants have a reflection of flavors of an era gone and give you best dining experience. There are quite a lot of restaurants with fast food and fine dining and above all pocket friendly. The establishments are spread across the Power Plant, Market place, Lockwood Place and definitely the Inner harbor.
Each and every chain deals with cuisines of particular country like Brazilian, American, Sushi, Chinese, Mexican, Italian and lot more.
Get into the paradise called Fogo de Chao Baltimore, where everything is about meat cuts of skewered beef, pork, and chicken and well stocked salad. The table is well decorated with clean mats and napkins with quick service.
Say cheers to Miss Shirley's Kitchen, where the place is always crowded because of its dangerously delicious food. The staffers are superb, ultimately during the time of leaving the guests are stuffed with happiness.
There are ample of Italian baltimore inner harbor restaurants, undoubtedly not a single place can be considered bad. But it is just, there are some which are better than others; enjoy fresh pasta, great seafood. People come here to enjoy the light house, ships, aquarium and of course restaurants. If you want to spend a simple and enjoyable evening, there could be nothing better than the baltimore restaurants inner harbor. The foods are such a delightful pleasure that, you certainly could give the second order with much ease.
Want to have the views of water and the whole inner harbor while you are dining, then a visit to Rusty Scupper would be an amazing idea. Since it is located right on the water, what else you expect they will specialize in? it is sea food for sure. Just order the crab cakes and bouillabaisse and receive the eclectic pleasure. Apart from food, the décor and ambiance is also a very compelling reason to visit the restaurant. Think of the beautiful views of the glasses and an image of Water Table restaurant will come to your mind. If you are mushroom lover, you will love this place. Order the Italian Classics like chicken parmesan and Lasagna with broccoli. Having caramelized onion flatbread appetizer will give you an idea about the how perfect the chefs are into minute details.
For a change going to Wit and Wisdom a hotel restaurant, it has a beautiful modern and trendy interior. If you are into avid drinker then it is a must visit area. Huge bar area greets you when you first walk in , what else you want other than delightful dinner incorporated with awesome drinks. The beef marrow appetizers are amazingly good. Most surprisingly it is only a single place who serves Sazerac. It is actually New Orleans cocktail and worth every penny you have spent.

Environmental problems associated with manure management in livestock agriculture, along with rising energy costs, have fueled interest in energy-producing manure treatment technologies such as anaerobic digesters (AD), which produce methane gas that can be used to generate electricity, heat and/or lamp light. Public resources to develop and implement AD on farms have been spent primarily on large-scale confined livestock operations. However, the experience of households in developing nations illustrates that AD applications for small farms exist, and our previous work illustrates that small dairy farm operators have interest in this technology. One factor limiting the economics of AD technology at small farms, especially in cold climates, is the energy required to maintain the reactor temperature at 100ºF. Potential solutions to this engineering problem are to identify alternate/additional feedstocks to the digester, which would result in greater biogas production useful for heat, or use alternate heat sources on the farm presently wasted.
Given the variety of potential supplemental energy sources the goal of the project is to develop a farm-integrated digester system suitable for a diverse small farm in Northern New York.
Expected Results:
The project will involve the assessment of feedstock available at area farms, assessment of potential biogas yields for feedstock mixtures, process design, feasibility testing, and lifecycle assessment (LCA) of the developed hybrid process. Small-scale farmers will profit from the energy produced for use on the farm, as well as from a stabilized biosolids product that will improve soil fertility. The reduction in livestock manure pollutants will lower runoff of these pollutants to surface waters, and diversion of methane from livestock manures into a useful energy product will lower greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere.

Kyle Blair
Profile: RHP - 6'3" - 200lbs -BT:R - TH:R - 2011 Age: 22
• FB2 91-93: Plus arm-side run but lacks command within zone. (50-60)
• SL 83-85: Gets solid depth and he can throw it under the bats of lefties. (60-60)
• CH 82-84: Shows some fade and sink, and he has a solid feel for the pitch. (45-55)
A fifth round pick of the Dodgers in 2006, Blair opted to go to college at The University of San Diego - not to be confused with San Diego State, where fellow AL Central prospect Addison Reed went. Blair has plenty of game of his own and the Indians picked him up in the 4th round of the 2010 draft and signed him for a well over-slot 600K.
On the mound Blair shows a good demeanor and is a hard worker. His delivery isn't the cleanest and the lack of repeatability has led to persistent command problems throughout his career. Thankfully, despite a somewhat ugly 3/4 motion, there aren't any major injury red flags.
I like the movement on Blair's fastball as it has good arm-side run and he can work the pitch on the corners when he has his good command. He pairs the fastball with a hard slider that gets solid depth, though it profiles as more of a ground ball pitch than a true swing-and-miss offering. He also has shown a curve and has shown feel for a solid/average changeup.
If he can iron out some of his command issues he could be a 3rd starter. Otherwise he'll be more of a back-end type.

We're not the only ones who journey thousands of miles to enjoy the warm Hawaiian waters during wintertime. The humpback whale, or kohola in Hawaiian, swim the thousands of miles each year from the cold waters of the North Pacific to breed, calve and nurse their young in the warm shallow waters of Hawaii. And while they are here, they really know how to put on a show!
Whale watching season in Hawaii typically begins in late November, however peak season is January through March. Some whales enjoy their vacation so much that they will extend their stay through May before making their way home.
On Kauai, there are two ways to catch a glimpse of these beautiful creatures, by land and by sea. A catamaran or zodiac boat tour will make the most of your vacation time because not only will you have the chance to view the whales from a close distance, you may also get to see some playful Hawaiian spinner dolphins and turtles, and take in views of Kauai's spectacular coastlines, such as the Napali coast, a jaw-dropping 3,000 foot cliffs rising majestically out of the ocean. These tours offer it all, from snorkeling in the warm waters and hearing beautiful whale songs under water to watching the sunset with a cold mai tai in your hand while humpback whales frolic in the distance.
For those who prefer to stay on land, Kauai offers many vantage points to view the whales in all their glory without getting wet. Some favorite spots to view whale activity in Poipu include Shipwreck's Beach, Makahuena Point, Poipu Beach (fronting the Sheraton Kauai Resort) and Spouting Horn. Kilauea Lighthouse on the north side of Kauai is officially designated a humpback whale marine sanctuary by the Federal government. We recommend packing a lunch, taking a couple beach towels to sit on and bringing a set of binoculars to any of these spots to truly enjoy your whale watching experience.
Humpback whales use their bodies to communicate with other whales and ocean creatures. While whale watching, it's helpful to distinguish the meaning behind those seeming innocent whale behaviors:
- Blow or spout: A whale can remain submerged under water for as long as 45 minutes before taking a breath. When they do, you will see spouts of water blowing from the surface
- Tail Slap: This may serve as a warning to other whales to stay away. A whale will raise its tail flukes out of the water and slap it repeatedly on the surface of the water creating a large splash
- Breach: The most exciting of whale behaviors. The whale will use its tail to propel 40 percent of its body out of the water and land back on the surface
- Pec Slap: Humpback whales will sometimes communicate with other whales by slapping the water's surface with their pectoral fin
- Head rise or spy hop: Sometimes whales need to see what is happening around them. The head rise allows them to rise vertically toward the surface and stick their head out of the water. This often occurs when there is other competition or a predator nearby
Thanks to the Endangered Species Act, the humpback whale population has grown in the last 20 years from 6,000 whales in the North Pacific Ocean, with 4,000 coming to Hawaii, to more than 21,000 whales existing today with approximately 10,000 traveling to Hawaii each year.
There is something inspiring about watching a humpback whale, which as an adult can weigh up to 45 tons, play off-shore. Even more exciting is seeing a baby whale take breaching lessons from their mother and learn to splash and play, similar to a baby in a bathtub.
Like all of our visitors, we look forward each year to the arrival of our guests, the humpback whales, who seem to know how to enjoy paradise just as much as we do.
We recommend these boat tours that will take you to see the whales:

Before I get into the details of the race report let me start with saying that this was the first early season triathlon and I'm very happy with the results even though the first part of the race analysis may not sound like it. With the disclaimers successfully behind us we can start.
I was very much looking forward to this race as I always do look forward to my first triathlon race in the season. I just like the tri-racing much more than plain road running and I was quite frankly ready for change of pace in racing. I will not bother you with the recount of the waking-up and getting to the race site. Let me just say that this race is held in one of the most beautiful locations I ever raced. The day before the race PA had a tornado warning and the storms in the area were pretty strong. Luckily on Sunday morning the sky was clear and it looked like a great day for racing. I had opportunity to ride the bike course the day before in my car and I checked the previous year race results. From both I knew the bike will be tough as only first few finishers broke the 20 mph on that course. It is very hilly, but that is the fun part of this race.
After arrival to the race site and the body marking I went to secure my spot in the transition area - luckily my number placed me three racks away from bike exit which is fairly ideal location. I setup my transition - this time it was even simpler than last year - it was my birthday on Friday and I got brand new tri-shoes that I was testing in this race. Nice spanking Sidi T2 semi-carbon sole shoes. Very nice white shoes that I took for about an hour spin and T1 / T2 practice on Saturday morning before the race. So my transition basically had a towel with my running shoes, socks, running hat, race belt with one gel and race number. I put the Polar watch on the bike, installed the sunglasses on the bike as well as all the fuel and water. The helmet was sitting on the handlebars and I was ready to roll. About an hour before the start I went to the water and walked the route from swim exit to transition, counted racks, walked to bike exit and back, counted the racks and checked how my spot looks from different angles. Then I walked towards the run exit and I was ready to take my stuff and go for a practice swim. Before doing so I made sure that my shoes are ready in position, that my gear is selected properly for the climb out of transition and that my bike computer is properly positioned. Once the pre-race ritual was over I took my wetsuit and put it half way on and walked to the water for practice swim.
The practice swim went quite well and I was feeling great. Not much stressed as this race was my first race and I treated it as a B-race to test few things (new shoes, sock-less running and new swim stroke technique - more on that later). I tried to eat the bar I readied for the pre-race fueling, but it was too hard and I did not want to risk breaking a brace just before heading to 90-100 minutes race - the joys of wearing braces. So I just took the pre-mixed Hornet Juice and readied for the pre-race briefing. Then it was time to line-up, walk across the mat and head to the water. The water start far from the shore was quite new to me as all the previous races started with us touching the bottom. Regardless there was quite a strong current that pushed me little too much to the front (and I also lined-up little too up in the front).
Then I made another rookie mistake - I was trying to keep-up with the fast swimmers on the first few hundred meters. There was some kicking and crawling on other people's backs, but not more than usual. It did not really bother me. But what threw me off was the hard pace and the waves - after some 200 meters I was out of breath and I could not get into the rhythm. I actually had to lean on my back and swim backstroke - I consider it faster and less tiring than breaststroke many people use when they are tired. I was swearing at myself and saying something like - oh my so many hours in the pool and now this. It was a complete melt down. I was unable to resume free style until last about hundred meters and I was mad at myself for wasting so much time on the swim. Yeah my swim + T1 time shows it. I actually had very good T1 - just ran up the hill to transition, grabbed my helmet, put it on, grabbed bike and off I went.
The bike was very challenging, but I knew it will be as I rode the course in my car the day before. I remembered all the hard hills and tricky sections. I was ready to ride the course and on some occasions it was great to know the course - I was able to challenge people to pass me on the uphill that looked like short climb, but I knew there was more behind the bend. That way I was just pacing myself and re-passed the mashers later towards the top of the hill. It was sooo much fun. The only thing I did not like about the course was that it was hard to fuel - I could drink water from my front bottle, but it was almost impossible to open a gel and finish it before hitting another hill. The course was basically endless sequence of steep uphills and fast downhills. On one downhill I clocked new personal best on the bike 47.1 mph and I did not push it too much. I really liked the bike although my legs were completely done at the end of the bike. In case you wanted to check the bike course here is the Garmin Connect link (note it is recorded in a car not on the bike).
Arriving to bike dismount went very well and I used new dismount to leave the shoes on the bike and run barefoot to the T2. Transition was fairly quick and I just put the shoes on, threw down the helmet and grabbed the hat with race belt and off I went. On the run I had hard time finding back my legs. It took me more than one and half mile to get my legs back. Only after the first aid station I started to get them back. I took it easy on the uphills as I did not want to rev the engine into the red so early in the run. The run course was similarly challenging as the bike course. It was trail run with a lot of stones and pebble for which my racing flats were not the best shoes. But they held quite well even with me running without socks. I got my legs back shortly after the big hill and was able to re-pass some people on the way down hill and on the flats. From that point on I was either keeping-up with people of passing few of them. The only exception was one girl that just zoomed by us - she must have been doing 6 minute mile that no one in the group I was running with could match. Just before the end when we could hear the crowds cheering the finishers I passed two guys and ran to what I expected was a finish. When I got close the volunteers yelled - it is up the hill. "What? Up the hill? You kidding, right?", "No, and watch for the ditch." My rage was back - I jumped the ditch and sprinted up the hill _ I so did not want to be passed on the final meters. I finished only few seconds ahead of the person I passed. Once I crossed the finish line I had to let it all out and yelled some profanity (I'm still ashamed I did that, but I simply could not help it). Then somebody handed me bottle of water and I kept walking to get some refreshments. Overall the run was OK - only later I realized that this was my second brick this season. Need to do more of them before the A-race.
I was happy I finished and I did not even care about the finish time. After finishing the water I grabbed some more water and some fruit to refuel. I was not ready to get burger or fried shrimp or fried other stuff at 9 am. It was just too early for something like that. Then I went back to the transition to look for Fred - I knew his race number and wanted to see if his bike is in and if he is around. He was not, but when I walked out I saw him walking from the finish line. So there I was meeting another on-line friend at the races. Unfortunately we did not have much time to chat as I had to get to Dallas in the evening and Fred had to get back home to attend a game. I hope we will both have some more time during the Steelman in few weeks. Until then we will keep training and racing. Next up is the Anthracite Triathlon.
If you wonder how I finished - check out the official race results. Let's just say that placing in the top 50 is something that blew me away when I learned about it. Especially considering the swim melt down.

IGT (International Game Technology) is a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of slot machines. The company headquartered in Reno operates a factory in Las Vegas.
Today IGT is one of the largest companies that develop online slots for the Internet. All casinos who offer IGT slots online are very strictly regulated and must always specify the exact payout rate.
IGT is really an US based slot manufactur with its hq in Nevada. IGT manufactures about 50 % all of physical slot machines in the usa with some reviews suggesting they will have produced half the bodily slot machines in the world! The company goes back to the 1950s, however it was a choice to go general public in 1981 that signalled a fresh dawn for the organisation and sparked an interval of sustained international development during the last three decades resulting in its current annual income reaching over $3 billion. Although, they began producing physical slot machines, today IGT stands among the almost all globally recognised online slots providers. In 2010, IGT processed over 2.0 billion online transactions and during the last seven years the business has administered over $15 billion in wagers through numerous online slot machines. IGT have already been at the forefront of several revolutionary developments in automatic online slots, the majority of which happened before their on the internet services. Although IGT has loved a hugely effective and illustrious background in producing physical slot machines, perhaps the most crucial development, when it comes to its online slots procedures, has been the acquisition of software program developer Wagerworks in 2005.

I was moving through my day, today, when I had a nudge to share a video message (believe me when I say 'nudge' and 'video message' usually are something I resist, but I am surprising myself by following through with) on "Words Of Encouragement for Heart-Centered, Love-Based People."
To watch the video, you may click the link above (which brings you to YouTube to view the video there) or you may watch, here, on my site:
One: I am learning to listen to my heart whispers, even if I feel vulnerable and if they don't make 'sense'. (This video nudge made sense, but sometimes the nudges don't.) I am finding (and have consistently found in the last 15 years that I've been on this path) that following nudges leads to some sort of blessing, healing, opening, experiencing of something that I wouldn't have had I ignored that whisper.
Of course, to experience that blessing, healing, opening, 'something I might not have otherwise experienced', requires that even if I feel vulnerable, I remain open to whatever 'goodness' flows back in.
Please take this an encouragement to listen to, and follow through with, your heart whispers. And, to thank yourself for listening and following through (that appreciation keeps your heart open, and it's a gift to give yourself). Then, to be open to the blessings that flow in.
Two: I say in the video "I wish I could give you each a hug". Yes, I'm a big dork, but it's a genuine desire, because I know a hug from a centered, empowered, light and love-filled person can be ultra-healing, ultra-inspiring, and can touch your heart far more quickly than all of these words can.
What is possible for me to share with you, though, is my energy via video; while video isn't my favorite medium, it's as close to person-to-person, with geographical distance, as I can get.
I want you to understand that if you are a person who chooses to be love, light, grace, peace, etc., who loves living from a centered space, who may be a light-worker along with that, you are not alone.
There are many many people with the same interests, beliefs and ways of being, all throughout the world. They are usually humble, and most shy away from being seen (I'm sure you can relate!), but they are there, being love-in-action as they move through their day.
And, if we each choose to radiate our inner essence energy (that love and light) with clarity and strength, we are more likely to 'find' each other and to feel that belonging in the connected-ness.
So, please, do radiate with clarity and strength and allow yourself to be seen and appreciated!!
I'm not saying that you 'need' words of encouragement, but if your heart says 'yes, please' and/or your mind is doubting the 'effectiveness of being love', this video message is here for you on my site, and via YouTube, for you to refer back to (and to pass the link along to those you feel would appreciate some encouragement).
Dear Reader: At the end of the video, I ask each person viewing to share in the comments there (but you can share, here, if that's easier for you) how love (the being of love and/or the receiving in of love) has inspired you or enriched your life, recently. And, if you are love-based, centered, open-hearted, and/or a lightworker and wish to share that with me (and all who read here or view the video there), please do so we may celebrate together. I know when you share, it's inspiring (to me, and others who may read or view, but not comment).
Much peace,
PS. If you are inspired to follow through with a heart whisper, and you'd like to share that with me, please do. I love hearing about personal experiences (and am inspired by them!!)
If you would like some personal guidance on how to hear your heart whispers and/or support as you follow through, I do offer personal coaching sessions.
