Shirley has been invited to speak to and fellowship with the Ladies of Bible Baptist Church, Marietta, GA, on Saturday, July 22nd, from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. The community is cordially invited. Our appreciation to Pastor & Mrs. David Cooper for their prayers and fellowship over these years, especially most recently regarding Shirley's cancer. July is an anniversary of sorts. We were told of her cancer July 9, 2015. Her first chemo treatment was July 27, 2015. The assessment of the oncologist was 18 months to 24 months to live. Her condition is stage 4 cancer: infection of the colon, the liver and the lungs. Having her here, alive and functioning today in this world is a miracle. God has altered our lives through her condition, and He is still changing it, as her treatments and their effects demand time and attention. Two years since the news. Two years through various treatments and dangers. Two years in the valley of the shadow of death, and the Lord is still our helper! Reaching July, 2017, makes it an anniversary month. We appreciate your prayers, and we give God all of the glory!

Kaden Saylor and Dink Flamingo went out and found themselves a cute new Active Duty recruit in the form of Jason. This 24-year-old military guy hails from Washington, but has a hint of Southern twang in his voice as Kaden points out when he directs his debut solo in Dink's shower. The "part-city boy" stands 5′ 10″ and weighs in at 157 pounds. Jason works out twice a day and had never done anything like this before.
Kaden compliments him on his physique and then tells him to get comfortable and start perusing the porn that's playing off-camera. "Don't mind me," Kaden says, "I'll just be here . . . watchin'." Jason settles in and soon peels off his shirt and pants, revealing a toned body and a pair of round pecs that you could just eat up. Soon, his sizable rod is curving into his hand and Jason is popping into the shower to lather up and get squeaky clean. I was surprised when Jason came, because he's such a quiet guy, and when he did shoot he was grunting up a storm and shot a whopping load all over his chest! "That was hot, Jason!" Kaden says as Jason laughs at Kaden's shock over the volume of his load.

Introducting "Marian Consecration for Children"
Two years ago, I tried to find a book like this for my own children. When I came up short, a priest friend suggested that I write this book.

Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty; these are the stories that have animated the imaginations of little girls for centuries.

NCR: School Shootings, C.S. Lewis and the War on Children
I've recently been reading children's books from bygone eras and marvel at the freedom the children had to be away from their parents. In All of a Kind Family, by Sydney Taylor, the five daughters navigate their 1910 neighborhood of New York City without giving their mother the slightest concern. I can't even navigate Gymboree without that kind of freedom. What has changed?
Want Good Fruit, Start with the Soil
By Carrie Gress, Ph.D.
Dirt is making a comeback. For decades, farmers and consumers took it for granted, but now people are realizing how vital it is for healthy crops and healthy humans.
Joel Salatin may not be a household name, but he is a man that knows a lot about farming. Called the world's most innovative farmer by TIME magazine, Salatan has been featured in books and films like The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Food, Inc. for his practices that are changing the way people think about food. While his approach may seem radical (such as, no antibiotics, no growth hormones), his farming practices emphasize working with nature instead of against it. And all of it starts with soil. Salatin, like most farmers, know that soil health is crucial. "Stimulating soil biota is our first priority," says Salatin, "Soil health creates healthy food." Farmers are relearning how "to foster what nature grants."
Like Salatan, one farmer-turned-priest took his Midwestern know-how and applied it to the idea of growing vocations. Instead of starting with young men directly, this priest went to the heart of where vocations are born; he went to the soil. He first started a women's Bible study; then a couple's prayer group; then a men's group, then a father and son group; a mother daughter group; and finally, he started a group for young men and women to discern their vocations. This farmer-priest knew he had to start at the source - with women. Not surprisingly, his efforts yielded great fruit. He fostered what nature grants.
What is interesting about this is to consider that if women and mothers are the real "soil" of the family, of communities, then what does the devil have to do to get to everyone? Take "the soil" out at the knees. And how have we seen this happen? Convince "the soil" to sterilize herself, or terminate anything that starts to grow. And eventually, everything else rots, or doesn't grow as it should.
Like farmers around the world, people are beginning to realize that there really is something important about soil.
NCR: Have Women You Love Left the Faith? Here's Why
I recently spoke on Catholic Answers about Mary and the modern woman. A man called in asking about his daughter, saying that although he homeschooled her and taught her the catechism, at 17, she now had little regard for the Church. It was clear he was struggling with how he had failed her. Based on what he told me, this concerned dad was not the problem.

Should You Pre-Pay Your Mortgage?
Paying Off Your Mortgage It's Not as Attractive as It Sounds
Save, Save, Save
A critical component for developing future security is the practice of "paying yourself first". One popular way to accomplish this objective is to pre-pay your mortgage, reducing the total interest owed and eliminating future payments.
If you have a home loan, you'll inevitably be offered an opportunity to "save money" by enrolling in a bi-weekly payment program. In one recent example, a borrower could save nearly $31,000 by eliminating five years and five months of payments on a loan amount of $197,500.
The logic behind this savings program is simple. Many people get paid every other week. Based on this schedule, each time a paycheck is received, half of the mortgage payment would be paid on the borrower's behalf. During the two months when three paychecks are received, two extra half payments would be made, equating to one extra mortgage payment each year.
Others may choose to pre-pay their mortgage in different ways, but the benefit is basically the same. Some individuals make lump sum pre-payments when they get a bonus or a tax refund check, while others simply add a little extra to their payment each month. Another option is to take a shorter term loan such as a 15-Year Fixed Rate. Regardless of the method chosen, prepayment does appear to save the homeowner money. The question is, do prepayments make the most of your investment dollars?
Hold That Check
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago recently released a paper, The Tradeoff between Mortgage Prepayments and Tax-Deferred Retirement Savings, which demonstrates the benefits of not prepaying your mortgage but choosing to fund your retirement instead.
Many homeowners may think they're already making progress towards retirement by paying down their mortgage at a faster rate. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned, regardless of where it's placed. Besides, the objective is to pay off your mortgage as soon as possible so mortgage payments don't have to be made during retirement.
The key factor to keep in mind though is something called arbitrage. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines arbitrage as "the nearly simultaneous purchase and sale of securities or foreign exchange in different markets in order to profit from price discrepancies." While we're not discussing securities here, we are talking about money. So, here's an example to help clarify things. If you were to borrow money at 4.00% and invest it at a return of 12.00%, this would be considered arbitrage. Banks do this every day.
How is this relevant to you? Well, the IRS allows you to contribute a portion of your earnings each year into a Tax-Deferred Account (TDA), such as a 401K or Individual Retirement Account. The benefit of doing so is that you forgo taxation today, when you're most likely being taxed at a higher rate. When you withdraw the funds in later years, your earnings and your tax rate will probably be lower. In addition, you'll benefit from having a compounded rate of return on the non-taxed funds, allowing them to grow to a higher balance until the time comes to draw on the account.
Analyzing the Difference
In the report by the Federal Reserve, the authors stated that by choosing to accelerate mortgage payments in lieu of funding a TDA, American homeowners may cost themselves as much as $1.5 billion a year! This doesn't even take into account the money that many homeowners withhold from their company-matching 401K plans.
Furthermore, by choosing to fund a TDA, the resulting savings to the individual homeowner could yield 11 to 17 cents per dollar, depending upon the choice of assets in the TDA. While the reasons for choosing to pay off a home loan early can vary from person to person, it is estimated that about 38% of U.S. households are costing themselves a lot of money simply by making the wrong choice of where to direct their money.
What to Do Now
If your company offers a 401K program and you aren't participating, then enroll yourself as quickly as possible. If you're unable to enroll this year, plan on doing so next year. Contribute the maximum amount you can without causing financial hardship. If your company offers a matching plan, take advantage of the full amount available. This is a 100% return on your money! If you don't have the ability to participate in a 401K program, consult with a Financial Advisor about starting an IRA. For those of you who are self-employed or employed by a small business, there are several programs you can investigate. A call to your Financial Advisor would definitely be worthwhile.
If you're participating in a bi-weekly mortgage program or making advance principal payments against your home loan while not fully funding your retirement accounts, STOP doing so. In addition, if your current home loan is set at a term of less than 30 years, you may want to consider restructuring your loan to allow for higher retirement fund contributions.
For a simple analysis of which options may be best for you, place a quick call to your Mortgage Professional or Financial Advisor. These experts will help you to achieve financial security in the years ahead. With home loan rates approaching their lowest point of the year, this is a great time to investigate how you can make your home, and home loan, work for you.

August Goals/Casual Swing Skirt
A new month!!! Yippee! I love fresh starts and new beginnings, much like one of my favorite heroines, Anne of Green Gables! I also get it from my mom who loves the same thing! it is even more special that the first is on a Monday! The start of a week. I have so many things going on this month! Lots of special projects and other amazing happenings!
I loved this outfit! It was a quick throw together and I've worn it three times since! I usually tuck whatever shirt I wear with this skirt in with a belt, but found I could tie this melon colored tank up and it would be super cute! I just love this skirt because it is so flowy and swirly! It is a double circle skirt that I made a few years ago and it has been a staple in my wardrobe every summer. I paired it with simple flip flops and earrings for an effortless, but put together look. I am wearing my glasses because I had already taken my contacts out for the day.
Goals for the Month!
~ Every night when I go to bed before lights out I want to read a psalm or proverb, read a poem by Wordsworth, and write in my diary. I have been rather remiss in writing in my journal. The plan is every day, but lately I have been going to bed, looking at my journal, sighing because I don't really have it in me. I plan to change that and get back in the habit this month!
~ I have a goal to continue blogging three times a week.
~ I want to start overhauling my novel. I had plans to release it at the end of the September, but life took over and that may not happen, but I really want to get buried deep in it.
~ I am working with a web designer on my blog and it is in for a complete overhaul! I can't wait to see the finished product! I am working on some art components for it and they are turning out beautifully! I can't wait to show you! My goal is that it will be finished by the end of the month!
/// Outfit Details ///
Skirt: Made by Me
Tank: $2 thrifted
Earrings: Gifted from Jewels by Julia
Flip-Flops: Flojoh's from Costco $15
What are your goals for this month?

Bad Geek Ideas
By Deane Barker on December 30, 2003
The Eight Biggest Tech Flops Ever: I haven't even heard of half of these: Data Play? Magic Cap? Go?
WebTV: A type of internet appliance that used a TV, instead of a monitor, to display web pages. Initially popular with the tech-averse when it shipped in 1996, Microsoft would buy the company for $425 million a year later. But when sales stalled at around a million users, someone woke up and realized that low-resolution TVs are lousy at displaying emails and web pages. Microsoft has since renamed WebTV MSN TV, but it's not any better. If you're reading this on a WebTV – or an MSN TV — I'm sorry for calling your kid ugly, but get yourself a real computer. You'll like it a whole lot better.

Bertie Lord
Brand Communication Manager
What do England, Las Vegas, Scotland, France and Ireland have in common? Not much really, but they are all places that Bertie lived before taking a break from world travel to focus on his education in Bozeman, Montana. He graduated with highest honors from Montana State University, earning a degree in Marketing and a minor in Economics. As a result of his performance he received the Dean's Award for Excellence in the Marketing Option, an accolade reserved for the top Marketing student from the graduating class. When Bertie is not in the office he can be found on the basketball court, soccer pitch or carving turns into one of several neighboring mountain ranges.
Not one to shy away from a challenge, Bertie is always eager to roll up his sleeves and get down to business. Throughout the years he has done everything from receiving Google AdWords certification to pouring concrete for photo-shoots. Rumor has it he even once made a guest appearance as a gingerbread man in what turned out to be an award-winning ad campaign.
Chances are if you've got a problem, he's got an idea, which fits quite well with our mantra of being a problem-solving company.

LIVE AT THE FORESHORE, a brand new festival featuring a line-up of Aussie rock legends, is set to hit Newcastle's Camp Shortland on Sunday 1 November.
James Reyne | Baby Animals | Mark Seymour and the Undertow | Shannon Noll | Choirboys | Moving Pictures | Monsters of Rock ft. members of Rose Tattoo and the Screaming Jets
In the 1980's, Newcastle was woven together with a solid live rock music scene and sun drenched weekends at the beach. In recent years, the culinary revolution added to that fabric. Our streets and alley way filled with hole in the wall speakeasies and small niche restaurants where everything is about quality and their own sense of style. No wonder we were voted one of Lonely Planets 'Top 10 cities in the world'. Finally all those elements will converge in one place when LIVE AT THE FORESHORE bring your best music memories to Camp Shortland on November 1.
Seven iconic acts will make up an Aussie rock invasion, storming one of Newcastle most popular beaches. The line up includes James Reyne, Baby Animals, Mark Seymour and The Undertow, Shannon Noll, Moving Pictures, Choirboys and Monsters of Rock (featuring members of Screaming Jets and Rose Tattoo).
James Reyne fronted Australian Crawl and has had a stellar solo career. We first saw him on Countdown in 1979 and since then his songs have provided the soundtrack to endless Australian summers, including "The Boys Light Up", "Reckless", "Beautiful People", "Lakeside", "Daughters Of The Northern Coast", "Fall Of Rome", "Hammerhead", "Motor's Too Fast" and "Slave".
Baby Animals led by rock goddess Suze DeMarchi. The band has been warmly embraced since reuniting and releasing This Is Not The End, their first album of new music since 1993. Recent singles "News Email" and "Stitch", along side the classics "Early Warning", "One Word" and "Rush You" make the perfect set list to show off the talent of, not only the band, but of one of Australia's most enigmatic front women.
As the front man for one of Australia's most seminal bands, the mighty Hunters & Collectors, Mark Seymour is one of Australia's most gifted and respected musicians. He delivered rock classics that immediately etched their way into our national consciousness, including "Holy Grail", "Throw Your Arms Around Me", "When The River Runs Dry", "Do You See What I See", "Say Goodbye", and many more. Joined by his tight as a fist band, The Undertow, Mark will take all his hits to a whole new level.
Since the day Shannon Noll stepped into the spotlight, his undeniable talent took him to the top of the charts, with a stack of top 10 singles under his belt he still possesses that country boy charm and honestly that see him connect with legions of fans. His fourth album, A Million Suns stays true to his rock roots, including a co-write with Good Charlotte's front man, Benji Madden. Having grown up in the bush, Shannon can rock a live show with the best of them.
Choirboys personify the 80's with their long enduring hits "Run to Paradise" and "Boys Will Be Boys" and "Struggle Town". Entertaining young and old for 30 years now, Choirboys are entrenched in the rock landscape. When you ask front man Mark Gable why they keep going, he answers enthusiastically, "Because we bloody love it!".
Moving Pictures song "What About Me" put them on the map, and their song "Never" being part of the iconic 80's film Footloose starring Kevin Bacon, made them legendary world wide.
Monsters of Rock are our very own super group featuring members of Rose Tattoo and The Screaming Jets. Playing all the hits from their collective decades of touring.
While the atmosphere around the conveniently located inner city venue will come to life with all the hits you know and love, your other senses will be well catered for. Small batch brew craft beer, wine, cider, fresh poured mixed spirits and cocktails will be offer, as well as mouth-watering food provided by some of the countries finest food trucks and local restaurants and bars. The relaxing beach side location will also make way for market stalls and a mix of all the weird and wonderful things this city has to offer.
To take optimum advantage of the coastal summer sun, gates will open at 12.30pm with the last act finishing up at 8pm. What a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
This sensational collection of artists has over 50 Top 40 hits between them, we are sure you'll know all the words (and some of the dance moves!). LIVE AT THE FORESHORE is the perfect opportunity to grab a cold beer, some great food, a spot on the grass to soak up the quintessential Newcastle summer and still be able to get home with no hassle. Just a word of warning, some things have changed over the years. Bring some sunscreen instead of covering yourself in coconut oil and hoping for the best (gotta watch that pesky hole in the ozone layer!).
With the soundtrack of the best days of your life, live on stage, the sea breeze and all the best things Newcastle has to offer in one stunning location – Join us at the Foreshore on November 1. Keep an eye on the LIVE AT THE FORESHORE facebook page for updates.
Tickets on sale – July 14 – Available from www.liveattheforeshore.com.au or Civic Theatre Box Office (ticketek) 4929 1977
Live at the Foreshore is an 18+ event

Radiohead fans have been giving their reactions to the band's new album 'The King Of Limbs'. Fans have been leaving their verdicts at NME.COM/blogs. Head there now to have your say on the record, which was released this week (February 18).
Jay-Z, Eminem, Arcade Fire, Muse and La Roux all picked up honours at this week's (February 13) Grammy Awards. The night's biggest winners were country pop act Lady Antebellum. The Nashville band took home five awards, including honours for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Guns N Roses are rumoured to be reuniting. Talks about playing next year's Super Bowl half time show with their original line-up are apparently underway. Singer Axl Rose refuted speculation this week (February 8) that he would agree to any kind of reunion with his former bandmates. But despite this US sports blogger Kent Sterling claims that a source has given information that talks are ongoing.
Foo Fighters have premiered the video to new track 'White Limo' featuring Motorhead frontman Lemmy as a Valentine's Day gift to fans this week (February 14).
Arcade Fire and Tinie Tempah were the biggest winners at this week's Brit Awards – taking home two gongs each. The Canadian band scooped International Group and International Album (for 'The Suburbs') at the London O2 Arena ceremony, which was hosted by James Corden.
Radiohead have unveiled the first press shot to accompany their new album, 'The King Of Limbs'. The Oxford band announced on Monday (February 14) that they would be releasing their eighth studio album this week.
Jessie J has made it two weeks at Number One this week (February 13). The Brits Critics' Choice Award and BBC Sound Of 2011 poll-winner hit the top spot of the UK singles chart with 'Price Tag'.
Graham Coxon has explained that Blur are likely to record new material this year. Earlier this month the guitarist revealed that the London four-piece were reconvening and could "switch a tape recorder on". Now he has told NME about the recording process.
Emily Eavis has explained why she booked Beyonce as a headliner for Glastonbury this year. After the announcement last week (February 11) that the former Destiny's Child singer was headlining the Somerset event, Eavis said she was keen to keep the festival as "diverse" as possible.
James Murphy has told chiefs at a supposed fan ticket exchange website to "eat shit" for selling tickets for the final LCD Soundsystem show at inflated prices. The gig is due to take place at New York's Madison Square Garden on April 2. Pre-sale tickets for the gig were being resold on Stubhub.com vastly inflated prices before they were on general sale.
Manic Street Preachers have announced details of three new UK gigs. The band will play Llandudno Cymru Arena on May 18, Wolverhampton Civic Hall on May 19 and the Cardif CIA on May 21. Support on all three dates comes from The Joy Formidable.
The Strokes have revealed the cover art for their forthcoming new album 'Angles'. The artwork, pictured, is by the late Belgian artist Guy Pouppez, who died in 1993. Pouppez was not a famous painter, while the piece is thought to date from the '60s or '70s.
Amy Winehouse was booed as she played a show in Dubai (February 11). The singer was playing at the Festival City Arena as part of Gulf Bike Week, but seemed agitated on stage as she fiddled with her hair and picked her nails. The crowd started to boo during her performance of 'Rehab' and at the end of the song she asked the crowd "Do you wanna be in the band? That's what I thought."
Blur bassist Alex James is to hold a music and food festival in the grounds of his Oxfordshire estate. James, who in recent years has become renowned as an award-winning cheesemaker, has now decided to venture into the world of festival organising. He'll host a four-day event called Harvest from September 9-12 at his farm in Kingham, Chipping Norton.
Slayer are set to tour without guitarist Jeff Hanneman – as he is recovering from a flesh-eating disease. Hanneman has contracted necrotizing fasciitis. It is a rare disease which destroys skin, fat and tissue from below the surface of the body. He is believed to have caught the disease from a spider bite and will undergo surgery on his right arm shortly.
Queens Of The Stone Age are to play their self-titled 1998 debut album in full at a special London show. The gig takes place at London's Roundhouse venue on May 17. The setlist will also feature B-sides from that period. The album will be reissued on March 7.
My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has said that the band will headline a UK festival this summer. During their show at London's Wembley Arena on Saturday (February 12), the singer announced from the stage that the band would be back to headline one of this year's outdoor events, although he did not say which one. The Reading and Leeds Festivals look a likely option.
The Strokes' Julian Casablancas has said there was "resentment" in the band during the recording of their new album 'Angles'. The frontman was speaking in the new issue of NME, on UK newsstands now. Casablancas made the admission when asked why he did not turn up to early album recording sessions at New York's Avatar Studios.

Comedy Club 4 Kids at The Civic This April
Prepare for fits of giggles as Comedy Club Designed for Kids comes to Barnsley
Comedy Club 4 Kids returns to The Civic for a swear-free hour with the international circuit's best stand ups and sketch acts.
"Comedy Club 4 Kids has been a highlight for children in recent years, giving them a taste of some of the biggest names in comedy, with the fun, rowdy feel of a real comedy club. Past line-ups have included Stewart Lee, Jason Byrne, David O'Doherty and Adam Hills, and it's always interesting to see how comics adapt their material for kids, and to see those who can get a laugh without falling back on the toilet jokes. (Some do look quite lost when they realise they can't swear at hecklers.)" The Guardian
Since 2005, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups and sketch acts from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children and their families… but without the rude bits! It's just like a normal comedy club, but it's on in the day, kids are allowed in, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of heckles like "why is that your face!?"
Made especially for younger comedy fans, Comedy Club 4 Kids is a mixed-bill of at least 3 stand-up, sketch and cabaret acts. Regular hosts include CBBC veterans Tiernan Douieb ('The Slammer'), Iain Stirling ('Help! My Supply Teacher's Magic!'), Luke Toulson ('Space Pirates') and Stuart Goldsmith ('Mission:2110').
"It is laugh-your-socks-off comedy fit for the whole family, including parents and grandparents. Nobody will feel left out." The Scotsman
Comedy club for kids have even recently produced a book on how to write and perform stand-up, How To Be An Unstoppably Amazing Comedy Genius. This 50-page booklet is intended for anyone who'd like to become a stand-up comedian, and can be bought from our website for £6: http://www.comedyclub4kids.co.uk/merchandise.php
Comedy Club 4 Kids is part of April Fools Comedy Festival 2018, a town wide festival of comedy happening at various venues this coming month. This is a great way to get the kids involved in all the fun. Non-patronising and pure awesome.
"Go see this show and you'll have sore cheeks from laughing." Fest magazine
Comedy Club 4 Kids is at The Civic on Wednesday 4 April at 2:00pm
Tickets are £8 | £6 conc | £5 child

This is one is for the eagle-eyed among you.
Google quietly - very quietly - changed its logo this weekend. I bet you never noticed, and I bet you can barely see it even when it's animated for you:
Google changed the kerning - or spacing - between a couple of letters, and moved one letter down and over. By one pixel. Each.
A pixel is the smallest possible image unit on a computer. The period at the end of this sentence - depending on your computer settings - is probably just a pixel.
Why do it? The letters were just a bit off, and according to experts, if the spacing is off just a little, it can leave a logo looking unfinished or unbalanced.
Did you notice something wrong with Google's logo before? Does it look better now? Does it even matter? Tell me what you think below!

Hello poets! I know you are out there!
Sometimes aspiring and published writers drop a hint that they also express themselves in verse—as if they somehow need to apologize. In my early days of writing, I literally concealed my humble verses in a clothes closet so no one would know I wrote poems.
Some writers reluctantly admit that they do write poetry but "not for publication," in some cases "just for God."
Writers who are Christians, please don't apologize if God gave you a gift to express yourself in poetry.
When you write "verses for God," I like to call it "Psalming." Military leader, macho King David and other men of his generation wrote Hebrew verses. In fact, in past generations most known classic poets were men. It was manly, certainly not feminine or sissy, to write poetry.
Poetry is often one part of the many-splendored creative gift expressed at the same time by musicians and artists of different kinds. I see it in tandem with those other gifts in writers I coach.
Click on the PDF document that follows: /Resources/1-71.pdf.
The above download is a chapter from my recent book Writing For the Supreme Editor called The Joy of Psalming. It may provide some ideas for your own versification.
I recommend my book Release the Poet Within! How to Launch and Improve Poetry Craft and Ministry which is reviewed in BOOKSTORE on this website and available for immediate ordering. My recent anthology of vintage poetry is Psalms of My Harvest: Confessions of a Psalmist to which you may relate if you are in your calendar-challenged years, also available to order.
If you are an aspiring poet to any degree, please send me by email ([email protected]) one of your favorite poems for my own pleasure reading. Tell me about your poetry writing and how you would like to develop it further. Would you like my help?
Send me your mailing address and I will mail you free and postage paid my 190 page book
Life! Stop Crowding Me! the first anthology of my poetry in its original format, now considered a "Collector's Item." No obligation.
PLUS, I will include a one-hour CD of myself reading the first 64 pages of this book. ALSO FREE.
Is it a deal? This is a limited offer as long as the supply lasts since it is now out-of-print.

"Hertzoggie" Apricot pie squares
Hertzoggie Apricot Pie squares
Hertzoggie Apricot Pie squares are filled with apricots and you guessed it, I love baking with these super delicious fruits for many obvious reasons, but the primary reason is because they add such a thang to any dessert and curries.
This past weekend had come with a new found respect for mothers. Me, Myself and I fly out the door when there is another beating heart that you have to look after. Feeding, changing diapers, naps, and soothing cries are number one priority. Thereafter there is a small window of operating to get back to the self you once knew. Even if it is just to feel sane browsing through Facebook or Instagram. You are a pro in goog-eling and ga-ga-ing alongside you most precious gift. Reliving your days as a kid, being amused by the smaller things in life. Things that matter.
My little niece and my sis came to visit me in Montpellier. I saw her when she was one month old. I do convince myself that she recognized me. I got a few giggles out of her, but obviously, her mom got more smiles than me. It melts my heart. Raising a baby so far from home is more than challenging, for my sister, I would say that the thing she misses the most is having the grandparents and rest of our siblings here. There is no time to take a break or having to drop the kids off at grand ma's house. All the "luxuries" of normal family life so to say is a bit more complicated.
We pack our bags and fly home whenever we can. We get to visit every six months or once a year. Things like applying for a passport and birth certificate can keep the holdup. You miss a lot. Christmas, weddings, birthdays and family get-togethers. Every connection with Viber and skype is a few thousand kilometers aways. Sometimes screaming over a black screen "hello? can you hear me" whilst the connection gives out? It doesn't make up for the real thing. Real hugs, real people that know you and accept you.
I got some shopping time with my sis and baby entertained us at night. She has discovered how to blow bubbles! I loved every second of it. We basically shopped for two days straight and before I knew it, our time was almost over. The thing that was also very unnerving was the fact that the baby facilities in Europe are so poor. She couldn't find a decent public changing room anywhere, not even to mention a private feeding place for the baby. Some moms gave up the right of privacy alongside the fact that there is no such thing. That leads to feeding your baby right then and there. With or without a cloth to cover yourself. Here it is a bit more normal, but for a conservative South African girl, it was a bit of a shock. I am used to not seeing moms breastfeed back in SA, but maybe I was unaware of the difficulties that every mom has to go through. That is why shopping, coffee dates and get together's are more difficult when there is no grandparents or nanny to give you an off day every now and then.
On Saturday we took a day off of shopping and headed to our Chateau to take a few pics, nature right now is just so gorgeous, especially with the beautiful autumn colors. I got a few snapshots of the baby, but gosh it was a bit tricky to get her attention. They wore matching colored outfits, which made the photos even more gorgeous! After I dropped my sis off at the train station, with her loaded baggage, pram, and baby. I headed to church and thereafter my husband and I headed to celebrate our two year anniversary at Hotel le Spinnaker. It is located in Le Grand du Roi port Camargue. It is about a forty minute drive from our house. The food and the service were amazing! It was real french cuisine treat!
After this full weekend of activities, I was in the mood for baking again. Cooking has become such a treat for me. My sis is a wonderful cook, I'll persuade her to share one of her faves one of these days. I bought a big jar of apricot jam. I know that I have done a few recipes with apricots, but listen here these apricot pie bars are amazing… then I went to the liberty of adding a Hertzoggie topping to half of the pie bars…Super easy, gooey and buttery!
Crumbly and delicious pie squares for all.
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 125 ml butter
- 100 ml milk
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup apricot jam
Hertzoggie topping
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- Mix together the dry ingredients, melt the butter ever so slightly and rub into the dry mixture, until it becomes crumb-like.
- Whisk the egg and the milk and mix into the bread crumb mixture with your fingers or wooden spoon.
- Half the dough and press flat onto a parchment paper lined a baking tray, 1cm in diameter.
- Smear on the apricot jam and grate the rest of the dough onto the apricot layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 180°C.
- Meanwhile start by whisking the egg whites with an electric mixer (hand mixer) and gradually add the sugar until smooth and glossy. Fold in the shredded coconut and the vanilla essence.
- When the dough has cooled down after baking, smear on the Hertzoggie layer and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
- If the Hertzoggie layer is getting too brown too quickly and the dough is still too doughy then cover with aluminum foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Slice into bars and enjoy with your afternoon tea or coffee, Bon goûter!!!
Have a good, munchin day!

In a recent interview with a labor and employment firm, I was taken aback by how extremely conservative they were! I had a to sign all types of crap and I was just interviewing! Being excited with the thought of getting out of here, it took me a while for the whole process to sink in and to realize I sure as HELL do not want to work there…so, I took my name out of the hat. What helped turn me off?
– Do you play a musical instrument? WHAT? I said..uh…no, why? and they said, "Well, you look "artsy" and I bet you hang out at so and so (well-known ecclectic area in my big city). She proceeded to say, "Well, with your hair and your little black glasses…" WHAT? What's up with my hair? because it is short? I have CUTE glasses. People, I'm not an alien from Mars….my hair is currently short and stylish and I have glasses. SO? Oh, I get it..they want the old-fashioned legal secretary type. Maybe if my hair was in
a bun and I had little reading glasses and sensible shoes they would have liked that better? I could never relax there and the guy I would have worked for sounded far more needy than Bad Boss. Dick heads….good luck to them!
Sweet Cooper commented yesterday that his wife was asked to sign an agreement stating that she would not get pregnant for five years. WHAT? Is that legal?? What are some crazy things you've been asked in an interview?
Oh, it looks like tomorrow is the day I'm coming in at 5;30 in the morning to assist with the move of our server. What the hell time will I get up??

In the tech world we probably hear "move it to the cloud" about a hundred times a day. While the cloud is a great thing, it's not always right for everything. In this case we are talking about servers and why one type might be better than the other for your organization. {Here, specifically, we are discussing the differences between on-site servers and cloud servers, and how one type might be
better for your organization.}
What is a file server?
TechTarget defines a file server as:
"A computer responsible for the central storage and management of data files so that other computers on the same network can access the files."
Essentially a file server is a physical server located within your office, or in another data center that allows employees to access shared files. These servers have a persistent connection to your PC through a local area network (LAN) or a virtual private network (VPN).
When using a file server, your PC is talking directly to the file server on an ongoing basis over that network connection. Therefore there is no "syncing" happening: all changes being made to the files are being done in real time. What this means is that after changes are saved, those changes are written right to the master copy of your file on the server and everyone else will immediately see those changes.
Now we know that having a physical server on-site takes up a significant amount of space and that servers themselves can be a bit pricey – as can colocating it in a separate data center – but file servers have one feature that make them an obvious choice for a lot of use cases:
This means that while one person is accessing the file the server places a "lock" on that file, making sure two people cannot make changes at the same time. This is especially important for documents like financial spreadsheets where two people making changes at the same time and overwriting the other person's changes could be disastrous. With file locking you're assured that no changes are going to be overridden or erased.
What is a cloud server?
We couldn't find a definition of cloud file storage that was really on-point, so here's the IT Freedom definition:
"A system that stores your files on servers owned by the provider and that typically has both a web-based interface and piece of software that syncs your files from the cloud to your local computer."
There are a lot of cloud server providers out there, like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive, that allow you to upload files and share them with the members of your team.
While they serve the same basic need, cloud storage is very different from a file server. Cloud storage is often more affordable, you don't have to allocate any extra space in the office, and it may be quicker to setup and maintain. While these are all great benefits and definitely "pros" to using cloud-based storage, it's important to understand the other side as well. These aren't necessarily "cons," but they are things to be aware of.
First and foremost, most people are accessing files via that "sync" method mentioned above. In this scenario, there's a little piece of software installed on your computer that's syncing your files back and forth from your local drive to the cloud. But unlike with a file server, the PC and cloud aren't always talking to each other in real time. When you open a file from your locally synced version of your files, you're opening the version right there on your computer, not the "master" copy in the cloud.
This has two big effects:
First, the "master copy" of the file you just opened in the cloud doesn't necessarily know that you're editing it on your local computer. We mentioned the concept of "file locking" above in the context of the file server, but cloud-based storage doesn't necessarily do that. (We'd be remiss if we didn't point out that some providers including Dropbox and Microsoft do take some measures to stimulate file locking, but it remains a significant challenge in using cloud-based file storage.) This can lead to huge problems around two people making competing changes like we described above.
Second, the changes you've made to a file are stored on your computer, and then that file must sync back to the master file in order for those changes to be made and available to everyone else sharing that file. Keep in mind that syncing doesn't always happen immediately.
Why is this a problem?
The unreliability of the syncing schedule is a problem for obvious reasons. If your changes aren't synced right away, your team could be working with an old version of that information until they are synced. And when your changed copy does sync, your changes could override other important changes made in that time in between. Often when changes are made it's the last to save/sync back with the master that are actually saved.
As an example: Say you're on a plane, working on a file stored on your local computer. When you hit save, close your laptop, and exit the plane you don't immediately link up to wifi – meaning that your changes are still not visible to anyone else looking at that file. In this case, if your team was also making changes while you were offline, and their changes saved and synced hours before you get connected to internet, your changes would sync and override all of their changes…yikes! This is why the "file locking" feature on file servers can be extremely important.
There are obviously pros and cons to each type of server and ultimately it comes down to what is best for your business. Part of what we wanted to get across, other than the differences between file and cloud servers, is that just because everything seems to be "moving to the cloud" doesn't mean that it has to. File servers may seem old school, but depending on your organization and the types of data being accessed, an "old fashioned" file server might be the best option for you.
For decisions like this we always advise talking to a professional with thorough knowledge of how these decisions will affect your business.

VeriQuick Pregnancy Test ReviewHow do I know if a low-cost test is reliable? Here, you will find out everything you need to know about the VeriQuick product, including how its sensitivity and accuracy may affect your results. If you've already decided you want to try the VeriQuick Pregnancy Test, buy it now at Amazon.
VeriQuick Pregnancy Test SensitivityPregnancy test sensitivity affects how early you can expect to achieve an accurate positive result. Even the most expensive "early result" test measures the amount of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy hormone in your system. After conception, the level of hCG is low. One week after implantation, you begin to have increased hCG. For the most part, if you are pregnant, you can expect to have a 25 mIU/ml hCG level in your urine ten days past ovulation (dpo). By the time you are two weeks pregnant, you can expect to have a 50 mIU/ml level of hCG. In essence, the difference between using a home pregnancy test with a 25 mIU sensitivity and one that has a 50 mIU sensitivity is four days.
What is the mIU sensitivity of VeriQuick Pregnancy Test?
Here's the bottom line:Your VeriQuick Pregnancy Test can report a "big fat positive" (BFP) when the level of hCG in your urine reaches 25 mIU/ml.
WAIT!! What about VeriQuick Pregnancy Test Accuracy?Fluctuations of hCG among "normal" women and the limitations of hCG-based tests mean that you cannot expect to have an accurate test result until the day of your missed period. Go ahead! Read the fine print! Even the early result tests have a disclaimer when they boast of a 99-percent accuracy rate. You need to know that over-the-counter pregnancy tests are 99 percent accurate from the first day of your missed period.
VeriQuick Pregnancy TestAlthough the manufacturer of the EPT does not make the VeriQuick test, you will discover that you get similar results. Like the EPT pregnancy test, VeriQuick has a 99-percent accuracy rating from the day of your expected period. Of course, individual hormone levels may vary. In other words, you might get results earlier or later than the first day of your period. Also, you can test early using this in-home-pregnancy test, but doing so will compromise the test's accuracy.
VeriQuick Pregnancy Test MIU
Here's the deal:Reportedly, VeriQuick Pregnancy Test sensitivity is 25 mIU/ml. Therefore, it is one of the most sensitive retail home pregnancy tests on the market.
VeriQuick Pregnancy Test InstructionsFor your reference, we've posted the VeriQuick Pregnancy Test instructions here at CPG Health. Packaging and product specs can change, so make sure that you always read the instructions that come with the test item that you use.
Reading your VeriQuick Pregnancy Test results
This is crazy:Many people get bad results because they don't read the directions. Use the chart on the back of the package to interpret your home pregnancy test result. For your convenience, refer to the above image. Your result is determined by the following chart:
- Negative - A control line (C) present and test line (T) absent. You are not pregnant.
- Positive - A control line (C) present and a test line (T) present. You are pregnant.
- Invalid - Neither a control line (C) nor a test line (T) is present. The test result is invalid. Disregard it.
- Invalid - A control line (C) absent and a test line (T) present. The test result is invalid. Disregard it.
VeriQuick Pregnancy Test faint positive, what does that mean?If you have a VeriQuick Pregnancy Test faint positive, consider it as a positive test result. If you are uncertain of your test results or have tested before the day of your expected period, you should re-test later to confirm your result.
What are VeriQuick Pregnancy Test evap lines?When your urine evaporates from the VeriQuick test, it can leave a residue that might at first appear to be a positive test result. Carefully examine your test to make sure that you have a valid result. Based on our information and that of our readers and subscribers, VeriQuick Pregnancy Test evap lines are not a common problem.
I got a VeriQuick Pregnancy Test negative. Now what?You may get a VeriQuick Pregnancy Test negative result and still be pregnant under certain conditions. If you believe that you got a VeriQuick Pregnancy Test false negative, discuss your results with your doctor. Some causes for a negative result include the following:
- You are not pregnant.
- You tested too early (VeriQuick Pregnancy Test before missed period). Every day before your missed period makes your results less accurate. This is the case for all home pregnancy tests, including those that specifically state that you can test early. Read all disclaimers in fine print on a pregnancy test package to understand the claims made in large print.
- You have a lower-than-normal level of the hCG pregnancy hormone.
- You waited too long (more than 5 minutes) to read your result.
- You read your result too soon (sooner than 3 minutes).
- You didn't place 3 drops of urine in the collection well.
- You placed 3 drops of urine in the results window, not in the collection well.
VeriQuick Pregnancy Test directionsYou have already seen the instructions that are printed on the outside of the VeriQuick box. Inside the box, however, you will find different VeriQuick Pregnancy Test directions and other product information. The One Step hCG Urine Test is a rapid pregnancy test, which you can easily carry out yourself. It detects the presence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), which appears in urine during early pregnancy.
How does the VeriQuick test work?hCG is a hormone produced by the developing placenta shortly after conception and secreted into the urine. This pregnancy test contains antibodies which specifically react with the hormone to create an easy-to-read line indicating whether or not a person is pregnant.
Contents of the Very Quick Pregnancy TestWhen you buy the Very Quick Pregnancy Test, you get:
- A sealed pouch that contains the test device and dropper.
- Desiccant that helps preserve the test during storage. Discard this after opening the package.
What else is needed to use the VeriQuick home pregnancy test?You will need a clean, dry plastic or glass container to collect your urine sample. Also, you will need either a timer or watch. Your test results are time sensitive.
Specimen collection and PreparationThe following guidelines will ensure that you properly complete the VeriQuick Pregnancy Test.
When to collect a specimen for pregnancy testingA urine specimen at any time is appropriate for pregnancy testing, but the first-morning urine specimen is optimal because of its highest concentration of hCG. This can facilitate the testing process.
How to perform the pregnancy test
- Collect urine in a clean, dry glass or plastic cup as close to testing time as possible.
- Remove the testing device and dropper from the foil pouch that came inside your pregnancy test box. Place the test cassette on a level surface.
- Holding the sample dropper vertically, add exactly three drops from the urine specimen to the sample collection well on the cassette.
How do I read VeriQuick test results?Read results from your VeriQuick Pregnancy Test by looking at the results window. The "C" represents "control." A line should appear at the "C" to confirm that you have a valid result. The "T" represents "test." A line or absence thereof here will tell you whether you are pregnant, as long as there is a line under the "C."
- Negative test result: One colored line appears in the "C" region, but no line appears in the "T" region of the test window.
- Positive (pregnant): A distinct colored line appears in both the "C" and "T" regions of the results window.
- Invalid: Either no line appears in the "C" region or a line appears in the "T" region, but not in the "C" region.
I see my VeriQuick Pregnancy Test results. Now what?If you have a positive pregnancy test result (two lines), visit your doctor. He or she will confirm that you are pregnant and create a treatment plan. At the doctor, you might find out that you have a VeriQuick Pregnancy Test false positive. Ask all your questions to your doctor. Unless you have a VeriQuick Pregnancy Test false negative, you are not pregnant if you have a "control" line displayed on your test. If you have no menstrual bleeding or have other reason to believe that your period should've started, visit your doctor to discuss your situation. Also, read the following section on "Limitations."
What are the VeriQuick Pregnancy Test limitations?
- As it is with any diagnostic procedure or self-testing kit, confirmation of pregnancy should only be made by a physician after evaluating all clinical and laboratory findings.
- If a urine sample is too diluted, it may not contain a representative level of hCG. If pregnancy is still suspected, another urine sample should be collected and tested 48 hours later.
- Low concentrations of hCG very early during pregnancy can give a negative result. In this case, another urine sample should be collected and tested in 48 hours after completing your first test.
- Elevated levels of hCG can be caused by a few conditions other than pregnancy. Therefore, the presence of hCG in the urine specimen should not be used to determine pregnancy unless such conditions have been ruled out. Consult your physician for more information.
- A normal pregnancy cannot be distinguished from an ectopic pregnancy based only on hCG levels. Spontaneous miscarriage may cause confusion in interpreting test results. Consult your physician for more information.
- Sterility treatments may cause false results. Discuss this matter with your doctor.
Expected results of the VeriQuick Pregnancy TestNegative results are expected in healthy, non-pregnant women. Although hCG levels in normal pregnant women vary, this test is capable of detecting pregnancy on the day of your missed period.
VeriQuick Pregnancy Test questions and answers
You need answers? We've got 'em!
There is a difference in color between the Control (C) line of two different tests. Does this indicate a problem?No. Variations in the color of the Control (C) line will not affect your test results.
Can results be interpreted after five minutes?No. Test results must be read within five minutes after beginning the test. A negative result (no line in the "T" (Test) region) can change to a positive result within a few minutes after the 5-minute test period ends. A positive result after five minutes, therefore, does not indicate pregnancy. Read results within five minutes of taking the test and immediately discard test unit to avoid confusion.
A pink background color and vertical streaking appeared in the result window during the test. Is this a concern?No. Each urine sample will vary in its chemical makeup, as will the humidity in the testing environment. Such variations in physical and chemical conditions can cause vertical streaking, and/or the pink background color, but will not affect the test results. As long as the Control line (C) appears within the five-minute test period, the test is working properly.
Other informationThe Very Quick Pregnancy Test is for in vitro diagnostic use and is for external use only. CAUTION: Keep out of reach of children. This kit is for external use only. Do not swallow. Securely discard after first use. The test strip and dropper cannot be used more than one (1) time. Do not test beyond the expiration date printed on the bottom of the carton and on the foil pouch. Do not use this test kit if the foil pouch is punctured when you first open the box. Do not use this test kit if the foil pouch is punctured, torn or open in any way (other than you opening it for initial use).
Storage and StabilityStore test at 40℉ to 85℉ in the sealed pouch. Keep away from direct sunlight, excessive moisture, and heat. Do not freeze the test device. To avoid exposure and contamination to the test device, open the foil pouch as close to testing time as possible.

Politicians, community leaders consider proposals for White Street Landfill
Politicians, community leaders consider proposals for White Street LandfillDuring the Greensboro election campaign every one of the at-large candidates and those seeking district seats representing the city's east side have pledged to not reopen the White Street Landfill to municipal solid waste, an initiative pushed by retiring Councilman Mike Barber.
While the additional cost of trucking Greensboro's garbage to a landfill in Montgomery County has been a subject of debate, a consensus has developed along the campaign trail that Greensboro must start planning a less expensive alternative for disposing of its waste that does not harm the health of neighboring residents and, if possible, puts people to work.
As the candidates hone their positions on the campaign trail, two companies have begun courting residents of northeast Greensboro near the White Street Landfill, and members of the current council have exchanged barbed comments over how to solicit alternative waste disposal ideas from private companies.
On Oct. 20, members of Concerned Citizens of Northeast Greensboro, a group that was instrumental in closing White Street Landfill to household waste, packed council chambers for a presentation by Carl E. Lebby Jr., the president of a company called Ulturnagen that was formed in April. Lebby read aloud from a letter proposing an "alternative energy demonstration project" that would use plasma gasification technology to process the city's garbage, export 397,500 megawatts to the power grid and create 200 new jobs.
Lebbe asked the council to pass a resolution in support of the project. That did not sit well with Barber, who pointed out that the council had already approved a request for proposals at the request of a second company called Cico LLC that is led by former Councilman Bob Mays. Barber wondered aloud whether the new motion would circumvent the process already under way to solicit proposals.
Barber said that Mayor Yvonne Johnson "spoke to someone and had them walk" Lebbe around the landfill.
"First of all, I made no arrangements to walk anybody anywhere," Johnson shot back.
Members of Concerned Citizens, filling two or three rows of seats, cheered.
Questioned by Barber about whether anybody from his company had been escorted around the landfill, Lebbe responded, "Not to my knowledge."
Barber dropped the name of Jim Kee, who won election to the District 2 city council seat on Tuesday, suggesting that the candidate himself might have given one of the company's representatives a tour of the landfill.
In retort to Barber's protestations, District 1 Councilwoman Dianne Bellamy-Small said that Lebbe's proposal was a different approach, and that the request for proposals was specifically for the White Street Landfill area.
"This is a regional approach," Bellamy-Small said. "They are bringing in nine other counties to be partner. We talk about regionalism… okay, this is what this is. This gives Greensboro an opportunity to be a leader with Winston-Salem, High Point and the surrounding counties…. This is a different proposal, a different way of looking at this than what we've looked at before. This takes White Street off of the table and gives these people the relief that they need to not worry about White Street being opened again."
More cheers rose up from the gallery. "This has been very clever," Barber quipped, but the council would vote to move forward with the request for proposals, amended to include regional alternatives. It narrowly passed, with Mayor Johnson, Councilwoman Bellamy-Small, Councilwoman Goldie Wells and Councilman Robbie Perkins voting on the losing side.
Kee was next in rotation during the speakers from the floor segment of the meeting.
"I'llend by stating the position of the citizens of District 2," he said."We will not allow the reopening of the White Street Landfill."
Keesaid in an interview last month that he had not escorted anyone fromUlturnagen around the landfill, but he had met with representatives ofthe other company, Cico LLC, at the landfill. Kee spoke favorably aboutUlturnagen's proposal and the plasma gasification technology that itwould use.
"Notoxins would be emitted into the atmosphere," he said. "That does notinvolve reopening the White Street Landfill. They're looking at usingthe Dell site. It would create numerous jobs. This process will allowfor the extraction of trash from the White Street Landfill."
DespiteKee and Bellamy-Small's suggestions that Ulturnagen would operatesomewhere other than the White Street Landfill, a company presentationto the city council in late July, proposes to do just that. Under theheading, "Immediate Economic Impacts," a PowerPoint presentationreferences "establishing the Greensboro Energy Complex at the formerWhite Street Landfill that will transform the area (nearly 1,000 acres)socially and economically."
Lebbe'sOct. 20 pitch also sweetened the deal for the city considerably from afinancial standpoint, compared to his presentation in July.
At the recent presentation, Mayor Johnson asked Lebbe what the project would cost the city.
"It'sno cost to the city," Lebbe replied. Yet in the PowerPoint presentationmade to the council in July, Ulturnagen states that it would need touse the city bond rating to finance construction and states that thecity would pick up the tab for health hazard and environmental studiesfor the facility. Lebbe could not be reached for comment about thisstory.
A privateCanadian company, Plasco, currently operates a plasma gasificationpilot project that processes 85 tons of waste per day in Ottawa, andhas signed a contract to operate a 200-ton per day plant in Red Deer,Alberta.
Severalmunicipalities and county governments have explored the possibility ofprocessing their waste through plasma gasification technology. The mostprominent may be Los Angeles, whose bureau of sanitation submitted areport in June concluding that the city would no longer pursue thetechnology.
St.Lucie County in Florida, with a population of 265,108, is movingforward with plans to begin processing its waste with a plasmagasification plant by 2011.
Thecounty started looking for an alternative to burying or incineratingits solid waste in 2004, Assistant Solid Waste Director Ron Robertssaid in an interview on Monday. The county solicited proposals from 126companies and organizations for models that fit the criteria of beingobservably proven, in commercial operation, economically viable andenvironmentally friendly.
"Afterthree years and 7,000 pages of information, we found that plasmagasification was the only technology that made sense for us," Robertssaid. The county then put out a request for qualifications, and onlyone company, Atlanta-based Geoplasma, responded.
AsRoberts described it, plasma gasification plants essentially zapgarbage with an electrical arc at temperatures of up to 10,000 degreesFarenheit inside a foot and a half-thick ceramic shell and reduces itto electricity, steam and slag that can be made into paver bricks. Incomparison, incinerators run at about 800 degrees. Roberts said theplant requires about a third of the energy it produces to operate, withthe remainder available for export.
Roberts acknowledged that the technology is relatively untested in the US.
"InAsia right now there are probably 15 plants using standard gasificationor plasma gasification," he said. "In the United Kingdom there areprobably nine gasification plants. The paradigm shift has alreadyoccurred from incineration and landfilling. The United States is at thebottom of the curve, in my opinion."
Theother proposal is being floated by Cico LLC, a company led by formerGreensboro City Councilman Bob Mays. Under Cico's model, recycleablematerial would be culled from solid waste in two separate steps, andwhat was left would be broken down through a process calledbioconversion that uses water and bacteria to break down matter insidea giant container. To sell residents on the plan, Mays said the companywould take up to $1 million per year in revenue derived from theoperation and plough it into an economic development nonprofitcontrolled by neighborhood leaders.
PaulG. Gilmer, a licensed real estate broker who lives close enough to thelandfill to see it from his bedroom window when the leaves are off thetrees, went before the city council with Mays in mid-September to askthe city to issue a request for proposals.
"Eventhough I have strong reservations about reopening the landfill to MSW,I'm a realist and I know that if this doesn't happen this year or next,it will happen because of the sheer cost of not opening it," Gilmersaid. "When this occurs it will be without any input or control from myneighborhood."
RalphJohnson, the co-chair of Concerned Citizens of Northeast Greensboro, islisted as a member of Cico's project committee in materials the companysubmitted to the city, but his remarks before council fell short of aringing endorsement.
"Ifthere's any projects that may affect the citizens and health and thingsin east Greensboro, I need to hear about it because there's been awhole lot of miscommunication with the neighborhoods, and there's a lotof mistrust," he said. "We really don't know who to believe. You know,you hear a lot of plans being made for east Greensboro, but whathappens a lot of times is that we get the short end of the stick. I'vebeen listening to a lot of proposals that's been presented."
