(Yes, my last three posts, this included, has been in the wrong order - I hope you can forgive me. Sometimes I'm not more than human!)
This is a picture from the French fashion magazine La mode illustrée, printed in 1883, which shows two ladies in walking costumes - even though they are, for some odd reason, in an indoor setting.
These dresses are a part of the bustle-era, the time when the shape of the dresses were rather slim and narrow, except for the upper part of the skirt where the bustle made them wider than any other part of the clothing. This was achieved through both the skirt and its folds and excess fabric, but also through the undergarments that had special support to hold this up - literally. Later on the skirt would be somewhat wider, but they are at this stage still narrow, and could be somewhat hard to walk fast in - but since all proper ladies should walk in a proper pace it was not considered a real problem.
That it is walking costumes shown here is clearly shown by the cut of the upper half of the clothing, they are wearing jackets and head-wear that definitely signifies outdoor-wear. They are also wearing gloves, as any lady venturing outdoors should (well, there and when going out to parties too - as can be seen in one of the earliest chapters of Little Women when two young ladies are going to a party, but only have one proper pair of gloves between them - that scene was set earlier than this, but the habit had not died out).

'The Nobody Murders,' Part 1.
The acclaimed crime comic returns with an all-new #1 issue, the perfect jumping-on point for new readers. The Black Hood is no more. Sure, there are rumors that the former cop known as Greg Hettinger is still out there, blending in with the homeless population, and emerging only to stop a violent attack before vanishing again.
But the ruthless assassin known as The Nobody considers the Black Hood a loose end, and he's willing to slaughter dozens to flush him out.
How high must the body count rise before Greg steps forward to face an opponent he can't possibly beat?

Names keep disappearing from the Kansas football roster, but one rather prominent one remains.
Linebacker Samson Faifili and cornerback Brandon Hollomon are no longer with the program after being dropped from the roster on the KU Athletics website, but quarterback Jake Heaps, the subject of transfer reports, is still listed on the team.
In late April, both ESPN and a reporter at Utah-based KOAL radio reported that Heaps was transferring from Kansas after one season. But Kansas coach Charlie Weis, through a KU official, responded to those reports, saying that Heaps was in a team meeting the same day. Kansas and Heaps have remained quiet during the final weeks of the spring semester, and a KU official said Tuesday that Heaps' status was unchanged.
Faifili, a junior-college transfer from American River College in Sacramento, Calif., missed most of last season because of an undisclosed injury. Hollomon was a junior-college transfer from Pierce College, the same school that produced defensive end Marquel Combs and linebacker Marcus Jenkins-Moore, both members of last year's junior-college class. Combs left the program last fall, while Jenkins-Moore took a medical redshirt.
A Kansas football official confirmed that Faifili and Hollomon were removed from the roster but had no official comment about their departures.
Faifili and Hollomon join receiver Ish Hyman and defensive lineman Ty McKinney as players who have left the program in recent months. KU said receiver Mark Thomas, who is also not on the roster, remains suspended indefinitely after being arrested in late March in connection with an alleged sexual battery. The case is still under investigation.Preview parties
Weis will be in Kansas City, Kan., on Thursday for a stop in the 2014 Kansas Football Preview Party. Weis and Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger will attend a happy hour event at the Boulevard Members Club at Sporting Park. The event, which is free to attend, will begin at 5:30 p.m. and Weis is expected to address the crowd and preview the 2014 season.
The preview tour will begin at 5:30 p.m. today with a Happy Hour event at the Sixth Avenue Ballroom in Topeka.

Dramatic video taken in South Florida on Sunday shows some of the first effects of Hurricane Irma, as the Category 4 storm barrels into the state's west coast.
The storm made landfall on Cudjoe Key, in Monroe County, just after 9 a.m. More than a million people in Florida are already without power amid rising floodwaters, downed branches and power lines, and flying debris.
Videos posted to social media showed floodwaters overtaking streets and pummeling trees in the Keys.

2012 Presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo says emphatically that he is very poised to remain in frontline politics.
According to him, at a "young age of 70", he is not ready to retire from Ghana's politics and therefore is spiritually equipped to pursue his political ambitions.
Nana Addo expressed profound gratitude to Ghanaians for making a clarion call on him to remain active in the politics of Ghana.
"I have been humbled by the loyalty, the confidence and trust the millions of Ghanaians have given to me…The message from Ghanaians who are not NPP members including supporters of other political parties…We have heard your message. We know who you are and what you stand and we're ready to vote for in our numbers in 2016. In spite of all the disappointments of the last few years, I cannot ignore these calls…
"I am able to say that I feel spiritually, psychologically, emotionally, intellectually, physically and patriotically strong to remain in the hurly burly of frontline politics."
Addressing NPP supporters and some bigwigs in the party at his Nima residence, he further indicated that his professional life as a politician does not delimit him, hence no one knows whether he would ever quit politics to undertake other courses or not.
To him, many people consider him "worthy to lead this promising nation of ours even at a young age of 70″. I chose "two career where there's no retirement age; Law and Politics," Nana Addo added.

Last week, my husband (by the way, yes, I still end up grinning like an idiot when I get to say the word husband) and I got back from the adventure of our honeymoon and started settling into the early mornings and grocery lists of real life. It's actually fun, in a different sort of way, because we're learning what real life means with each other in a completely different way from what it meant while we were dating. And that's an adventure all by itself. However, real life is not exactly what I'm here to talk about today. Next week, maybe. But today, I'm all about the honeymoon.
Ahh, the honeymoon. The sand, the sun, the drink with the little umbrella and the crash course in traveling and living together. For a lot of couples, it's a completely unprecedented experience. For others, it's new in different ways. I'm going to go ahead and say that for most of us, this particular trip is unique in some shape or form. And so, after spending a little bit of time reflecting on my own honeymoon (and how I wish I could take one every year for the rest of my life, if not every month), here are my personal, very humble, recommendations.
1. Go somewhere special. This was advice given to me from a family friend after I told her that our original plan was to hop in the car and road trip our newly married selves down the Pacific coast, camping along the way. She pointed out that it might be fun to go somewhere that we'd want to go back to on a 25th or 50th anniversary, a place where we would feel spoiled simply by being there. She then pointed out that I'm the queen of road trips (the complete Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen collections, a tank of gas and a box of Oreos, and I'm there) and that going on one for our honeymoon might not exactly be far enough outside our norm. Upon further reflection, thank goodness we decided she was right.
2. Go somewhere with options. Yes, sitting on the beach all day is nice. But if you're anything like Shayne and I, you can only handle it for about four hours. Which is why we ended up loving Maui. We went hiking (the waterfall in the photo? We got to hike through a bamboo forest to get to it. I don't know about you, but that bamboo forest was a first in our book. And. So. Gosh. Darn. Cool.), we went snorkeling, we learned how to surf and we kayaked until my arms felt like they were going to fall off. And then, once we'd worn ourselves out, we went back to the beach and sat all day. It was perfect.
3. Go somewhere easy. Unless you are a much better planner and stress manager than I am, you will most likely not be able to handle the pressure of coordinating a trip to, say, Europe and plan your wedding simultaneously. I could never have done it. The transportation once you get there, all the cathedrals and museums and history that you know you'd need to see once you'd arrived, not to mention convincing Shayne to actually, finally get a passport, it would have been too much for us. That said, Europe is in our future. Just sometime when I won't have to also be thinking about bridesmaids shoes. Because the Vatican and those shoes cannot both fit on the same spreadsheet and my knowledge of Excel is far too limited.
4. Realize that you may fight. I'm only saying this because no one warned me. And it's not like we had any huge, heartbreaking fights. It was more like, after a small, silly, disagreement and miscommunication, I found myself looking at Shayne with a pair of red, puffy eyes and asking why are we fighting?He, of course, had the right response, which was to give me a big hug and tell me that everyone fights on their honeymoon and that it was all okay and we would work it out. I hope that you don't fight on your honeymoon and that it is all pink and bubbly and happy. But if you do, you are not the only one. Cross my heart.
By the way, congratulations to everyone who made it all the way through that post. Because it was longer than the history textbook you had to read in 10th grade. Happy planning and even happier honeymooning!

In the best interests of all super fund members, intra-fund fees must be transparent.
That is the view of Corporate Super Specialist Alliance (CSSA) president Douglas Latto, who says that there is a general misunderstanding about the type of advice that corporate super advisers provide.
"For an agreed fee, corporate super specialists provide services and general advice to corporate super fund members," Latto said at the AFA conference on the Gold Coast.
He believes that this general advice should fall under the definition of intra-fund advice, in line with the 16 point agenda of FoFA changes, outlined by the current government. This would effectively remove personal advice, said Latto.
"Personal advice is personal advice and personal advice should be based on a user-pay system - and that should be that."
Intra-fund fees also need greater transparency. Latto said advisers can adjust their fees by workplace to reflect the work required. Fully disclosed intra-fund fees could then be adjusted to suit the advice required at each workplace level.
"In a post-FoFA, fee disclosure statement world, all fees must have the same level of transparency," he said. "Many super fund members do not even know they are paying for intra fund advice, even if they don't access it."
Latto said that setting negotiating fees at a workplace level would overcome the issue of conflicted remuneration, which supposedly arises when a corporate super specialist provides both product selection and ongoing services.
When it comes to commissions on group life within superannuation, Latto agreed that no payment should be made if services were not delivered. However, he said that this has also resulted in a market distortion.
"At the AFA conference this week, the Assistant Treasurer Senator Arthur Sinodinus seemed to recognise this and indicated a more level playing forward going forward," said Latto.
"We believe that if commissions can be paid for when the group insurance is outside super, why is it not allowed when inside super? The amount of work is the same; there is no upfront commission with group and therefore no concerns about churning."
The CSSA has suggested a dial-up payment as the solution. "Call it a commission, call it a premium-based fee and it should be transparent. To ensure there is no payment if there are no services it must be agreed at workplace level."

Barry Knocks Out Defending Champions Armstrong Atlantic
May 13, 2010
* Courtesy of Barry Athletics
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. - Since 2008, the Barry men's tennis team has been 0-5 against the Armstrong Atlantic Pirates including two national championship match losses; that streak has officially come to an end with a 5-2 Buccaneer win in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Men's Tennis Championships on Thursday.
From the beginning of the match the intensity levels of both teams was extremely high. Not only were the intensity levels high, but also the volume levels. With shouts heard in downtown Orlando, Barry poached two doubles matches then won three singles matches to advance to the semifinals to play #11 Concordia (N.Y.) tomorrow.
"I really felt like I needed to be heard by everyone on my team today," senior Andrew Sharnov said. "I was playing next to Rafael Array and he is a very vocal player. I wanted to, as much as I could encourage my teammates throughout the match."
Last season, in both losses to Armstrong, The Bucs went up 2-1 after doubles. The first doubles match to finish was put Barry in an early hole. At number one doubles, the #10 team of Ales Svigelj and Max Wimmer fell to Armstrong's #3 team of Rafael Array and Mikk Irdoja 8-1.
Barry answered the loss at number one with a win at number three. Sharnov and Sergio Velez took a quick lead of 6-0 then slightly stumbled to by allowing Armstrong to take the match to 7-6. The veteran pair refocused and captured the match with an 8-6 win over Eudaldo Bonet and Paul Fitzgerald and tied the match at 1-1.
The last doubles pair to reach completion was Emanuel Fraitzl and Marco Mokrzycki. Fraitzl/Mokrzycki dismantled Armstrong's number two team of Matus Mydla and Daniel Regan to the tune of an 8-5 victory. With the match at 7-5, Mokrzycki delivered three straight aces capped by a Fraitzl kill to finish the match and give the Bucs a solid 2-1 going into singles.
"It's about time," head coach Dr. George Samuel said. "I just felt different today. Today we were there, everybody was in the right frame of mind this morning and throughout the match. It was extremely nice that we won two doubles. This is a dangerous team if they are firing on all cylinders and today they most definitely were."
After the start of singles, the Bucs took first sets with Svigelj at number two, Wimmer at #4, and Velez at number six. With Barry seemingly pulling away, the Pirates #11 Array tied the match at 2-2 by defeating #32 Fraitzl 7-5, 6-2. The loss is only number six on the year for Fraitzl.
In Armstrong's desperation push, the Pirates took the second set at number two singles, and number six singles.
Velez fell behind in the third set 3-2 but came back with authority and took the third set and gave Barry a 3-2 led. The Columbian native defeated Fitzgerald 6-0, 3-6, 6-3. In the third set, Fitzgerald became visibly by leg cramps and was unable to overcome the setback.
The two seniors for Barry then stepped up to the plate and delivered. At number five, Sharnov dropped his first set to Regan then elevated his game and blasted through the next two sets 6-1, 6-2. Barry only needed one more point to accomplish something they had not in the past two years.
"It got very hot out there," Sharnov said. "I definitely think we were much more accustomed to the heat and humidity than Armstrong. It played a huge factor in the match. I could tell he [Regan] was starting to get tired and worn down. I felt great out there and was able to take advantage of the heat."
With the score 4-2 and Svigelj down in set three 3-0, the senior first tied the set then supplied the final point to win the match. For the first time in his career, and on the fourth try, Svigelj defeated Bonet 6-4, 1-6, 6-4. Svigelj's match clincher is his second in two days.
Barry advances to play the Clippers of Concordia tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. On March 1, the Buccaneers defeated the Clipper by an 8-1 mark. Live stat coverage will be available through the NCAA homepage. Also, the Barry Sports Information Department will provide a live blog of the event with coverage starting around 12:30 p.m.

SCOTS scientists have worked out the secret of an even more delicious bacon butty – stop pigs fighting.
Their research shows that reducing aggression in herds of pigs results in better-tasting pork.
When pigs are mixed into groups over their lifetime, a hierarchy forms, resulting in fighting amongst the animals, according to experts Scotland's Rural College (SRUC).
The stress and physical damage that results from fighting affects the quality of the meat, say the team based at Roslin, Midlothian.
A new £600,000 study will now try to find out how infighting among pigs can be reduced – resulting in a even more heavenly-tasting morning snack.
One approach the team will take is to see if it is possible genetically to remove aggressive tendencies among pigs.
Scotland's pig farmers currently produce 58,000 tonnes of pig meat annually worth £150m to the economy.
SRUC senior researcher, Dr Simon Turner, who is leading the study, said: "Reducing the level of aggression obviously takes away the harm caused by it which in turn affects the quality of the meat.
"If they're fighting less then there's less stress, less injury and the immune systems are not suppressed, meaning better quality products after it's been processed."
Pigs are often held in large groups which are regularly mixed up as they grow however when introduced to a new group, aggression begins to develop a hierarchy.
Experts have discovered that aggression directly affects the growth rate of pigs.
Dr Turner said: "We know aggression affects the animal's growth rate every time they're moved into a new group.
"The suppression of 10% lasts for around two weeks after the animal is moved, meaning the overall size is affected as well as the speed of which the animal is ready to be processed."
The researchers have discovered that one of the problems may be that pigs are not very good at picking fights.
Dr Turner said: "Humans are able to assess both their own fighting abilities, and those of their attacker.
"But there is evidence that some species can do one or the other, but not both.
"We know little about how pigs make decisions on who to fight and when to give up, but this knowledge will probably prove to be essential in designing management systems that are effective in reducing the welfare and economic costs of aggression."
The expert added that over the years researchers hadn't had much luck finding methods of reducing aggression, such as tranquilising the animals or mixing them at night.
He added: "We need to help pigs realise when it would be sensible not to engage in aggression, because their opponent is likely to beat them.
"At the end of these projects we hope to be able to offer better advice on how to manage and breed pigs in ways that will help the animals make the best decisions for their own welfare, and so reduce aggression."
The study is being funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council which will link it up to another one which aims to find out where pigs' aggression comes from.
Top Scots chef, Mark Greenaway, welcomed the news for Scotland's larder.
He said: "Of course this is a good plan. Anything that helps makes this country's fresh produce is a fantastic idea.
"I actually used to have pigs myself actually and although there was only three of them, one was very aggressive.
"He would eat all the food and was much bigger than the rest and that's why it aggression in alpha males can be a problem for commercial pig farming."
"So hopefully, by reducing aggression, we will see the quality of pork produced in this country become even better."

I admit that as a woman who graduated from Cal Poly all the way back in 1991, I haven't routinely followed Poly's various sports since then. However, after hearing about the Mustangs' win March 19, I woke up March 21 with the excitement of a kid in a candy store, a kid on Christmas, a kid on her first day of summer vacation. (You get the gist of it.)
At 4:10 p.m., I grabbed a beer, sat on my couch and loudly cheered and whooped for the Cal Poly men's basketball team. At first I felt a little foolish as I sat there, fist pumping in the air, eyes blurred by sentimental tears (making my daughter roll her eyes at me, scaring the cats), but I stopped caring about the spectacle I was making as I welcomed the pride that consumed me. I was (and am) unbelievably thrilled for those young men, and it is with much respect and admiration that I tell them that their showing was nothing less than extraordinary.
Go Mustangs!

Her quote was "It's beautiful, I love it with the petticoat
Got this for my girlfriend. She loves it. Her quote was "It's beautiful, I love it with the petticoat. Seems a bit on the larger size (mostly in the bust area because the waist can be brought in with the tie, but it's not noticeable enough to not wear it)." She wore it for her college graduation picture. Very happy. The color is darker than pictured.

I really liked this dress. It was very flattering, even for a bigger bust person. The dress was light and comfortable perfect for warm weather!. Sadly, I had to return it because when I received the item, there was a big gapping hole on the side or else I would have kept it! I ordered my size according to the size guide that it provided and it was pretty spot on.
I didn't think this would fit so well, looks fantastic. I have problems with this kind of fabric but this one feels great!
I love the fit on this dress, it's casual but still flattering, and will be perfect for the daytime with sandals.Material is fairly thin, but I wore a nude bra with it and didn't have any issues

Because some treatments actively target stored body fat and flush that fat from the patient's body, Diet Doc clients are able to see results more quickly than with diet change alone.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2013
While many weight management professionals recommend weight loss supplements, finding the supplement or treatment that is right for the individual patient requires attention to their particular cause, or causes, of weight gain. With this principle in mind, Diet Doc created their personalized prescription hormone diet plans that consider the patient's age, gender, health history and lifestyle preferences when choosing weight loss supplements that will best aid clients in achieving their goals and losing weight. And, because of the proven results provided by weight loss supplements, many of these treatments are now offered through Diet Doc programs and incorporated where appropriate in helping the client succeed in losing weight.
Some of the more popular weight loss supplements featured on the market contain natural saffron extract that makes patients taking them feel satisfied following their meals instead of wanting to indulge in second, or third, servings. A widely respected television doctor also refers to saffron extract weight loss supplements as miracle appetite suppressants because they are the first treatments that effectively relieve patients of the symptoms of emotional overeating. Because of the decrease in fat-forming sugar cravings and snacking, and because saffron extract weight loss supplements promote a healthy lifestyle and mood to avoid overeating, patients who include them in their diet plans are successful in losing weight.
During an initial physician consultation, patients will consult with a Diet Doc physician to discuss their health and medical history, as well as a history of emotional overeating, to determine whether saffron extract weight loss supplements are appropriate for helping them in losing weight.
While saffron extract has been prescribed to treat emotional overeating, this is not necessarily each patient's cause of weight gain and may not be effective in assisting every patient with losing weight. Unlike other prescription hormone diet plans, the Diet Doc team of physicians, nurses and nutritionists take time prior to beginning a diet plan to identify the patient's personal needs and underlying health issues that could causing weight gain. This personalized approach to losing weight not only helps patients reach their initial fat loss goals, it also helps patients sustain their weight in the future.
Including supplements and diet pills that have been endorsed and approved by weight management professionals increases the effectiveness of simply following a healthy, low calorie meal plan and eases any discomfort that can accompany a reduced caloric intake. And, because some treatments actively target stored body fat and flush that fat from the patient's body, Diet Doc clients are able to see results more quickly than with diet change alone.
Because Diet Doc is dedicated to respecting their California clients' privacy, all supplements or diet pills can be ordered over the phone or the internet and will be shipped directly to their front door. While other diet programs require patients to travel to weight management clinics for consultations or treatments, Diet Doc operates completely through telemedicine, bringing their weight control experts to dieters in California and the rest of the United States.

A hoverboard is a type of self-balancing two-wheeled scooter that is used for transportation. Hoverboards are powered by rechargeable batteries, mainly lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion). They consist of two wheels which are aligned side by side with two small platforms between the wheels for the rider to stand on. The rider controls the board using the feet with the help of gyroscopic sensors which are contained in the pads.
Over the recent past, there has been concern over the rise in the number of hoverboards that are catching fire and exploding. This has seen the use of hoverboards banned in some counties in the United States of America and some parts of Europe. The big question remains, why are hoverboards catching fire? The reasons why hoverboards are catching fire includes;
1. The battery
Hoverboards uses lithium ion battery for their power. These batteries contain a liquid flowing inside them, which is highly flammable. If there is a short circuit in the battery, for example, the thin sheet separating the positive and the negative battery sides is punctured, the electrolyte quickly heat up leading to an explosion. Other defects in the battery may include low quality Li-ion batteries made from poor quality materials.
2. Defective charger and overcharging
A number of cases reported indicates that there is a substantial evidence linking the explosion of hoverboards while connected for charging. This explosion can be caused by several factors example, defective charger, faulty charging system, overcharging and others. Unlike mobile phones or other gadgets, most hoverboards don't have an automatic self-closing mechanism to stop the flow of charges once the battery is full. This leads to severe overcharge of the cells, hence causing them to fail. This may lead to an explosion or in better cases, the gas may find its way and diffuse out without causing any major harm. A defective charger may lead to overcharging or in extreme cases overheating of the battery. For this reason, only approved chargers which have met the set standards should be used to charge the hoverboards.
3. Lack of safety standards
Electronic gadgets produced earlier like the mobile phones have set standards which they have to undergo before they are released into the market. Hoverboards are new in the market, hence no specific safety standards have been set for them. The standards in which they may fit in contains of non-electronic mobility devices which poses low or near-zero explosion probabilities. Therefore, there is a need to set safety standards for this devices to avoid explosions and other accidents in the future.
4. Production of low quality products
Hoverboards demands have been increasing over the past few months since their invention in 2014 especially in the United States and Europe. This sharp increase in demand has led to a need for more supplies and hence created a market for counterfeit products. Companies have come up in China producing counterfeit hoverboards with low standards and hence lowering their quality. This increases the risk of the user and the chances of explosion. Also rise in demand caused rise in supply, hence more hoverboards were needed over a short period of time. This hurried production led to the production of low quality products
5. Human error
Another cause of explosions is the human error where some people are careless and may interfere with the hoverboard especially the electric system. If for example, water gets into the system, it might cause an electro-circuit hence an explosion.
In brief, hoverboards are good means of transport, but should be handled with care to avoid accidents especially catching fire. Also, manufacturing standards should be set to ensure the safety of the users.

When I was young I had a cap put on my tooth by a different dentist, it was such a horrible experience I did not go to a dentist for years until I married. In my thirties my cap failed and I was without a front tooth, Dr. Tribe did an implant, my smile looks better then before and it was pain free. His staff is so amazing, polite, and go the extra mile to make sure they do everything they can to help you. My little girls get excited to go to the dentist even when they have cavities, that says it all. Thanks again to everyone in Dr. Tribes office.
When my son was about 10, he broke his front tooth–the day before school started! Dr. Tribe fixed it so well that a dental lab technician couldn't tell which was the real tooth and which was the "mended" one. The new tooth survived braces and is now 13 or 14 years old and still looks great!

Before I share the Goat Cheese Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe, I'd like to tell you about the Indiana Farm Family that hand crafted the Artisan Goat Cheese that I used to make it.
Risin' Creek Creamery
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting the owners of Risin' Creek Creamery, a new Indiana Goat Creamery!
Photo first published on Risin' Creek Creamery's Facebook Page
Owners Tim and Sheena Vanzantz , along with their young son Cole, ended up at the same Local Wine Festival I did. They were selling their Fresh Chevre Goat Cheese and Goat Milk Caramel Sauce and I was selling hair accessories. Our booths ended up right next to eachother.
It was so much fun being next to them and watching people as they sampled the many flavors of Goat Cheese and Caramel Sauce Tim and Sheena had brought with them.
Lots of the people were trying goat milk products for the first time and it was fun to watch their reactions. The adventurous samplers heartily dug in and the timid folks acted like they were almost afraid to try it. But no matter which type of sampeler they were, almost all of the first timers faces would light up with delight after their first bite of Risin' Creek's products.
I bought a tub of garlic and herb flavored goat cheese and enjoyed it for dinner on top of a bunless hamburger and some sauerkraut I purchased at the Winery's concession stand.
The cheese was great! It made the cheap frozen burgers the winery was serving (for $9 each!!) palatable.
I chatted with the Vanzant's between customers and learned that Sheena milks about 40 of their almost 80 goats every day on their Martinsville farm property that has been in her husband's family for more than 30 years.
Currently, they sell their Goat Cheese and Goat Milk Caramel Sauce directly to their customers at Farmers Markets. Their young son Cole often accompanies them to the markets and he sells eggs from his chickens.
On Wednesdays, you'll find them in downtown Indianapolis at The Original Farmers Market on Market Street. And on Saturdays they're at the Bloomington Indiana Farmers Market.
They plan to do a winter market too.
This husband and wife team are working hard at growing their business. They hope to offer their products in local stores and to supply restaurants in the future. They're also looking into a couple of online outlets to sell their award winning goat milk products through.
Yes, I said award winning! Risin' Creek Creamery's Roasted Garlic and Herb Chevre and Vanilla Bean Caramel Sauce both took first place in the 2015 National American Dairy Goat Association's Championship for commercial entries. It's that good folks!
If you'd like to check out all of the cheese and caramel sauce flavors they offer and learn more about their goats head over to their website. And if you use Facebook, hop over to their fan page and give it a like to show your support for this small Indiana farm!
You Should Also Know
They're not just farmers and award winning food artisans, they're very kind people too!
Out of the pure kindness of their of hearts, Tim and Sheena gave another vendor at the wine festival and I two tubs of delicious Risin' Creek Creamery Chevre that they had leftover.
I received one tub each of plain and Herbs de Provence.
So to thank them, I wanted to write about them and their business out of the kindness of my heart. This is not a sponsored post.
I mixed the Herbs de Provence flavored chevre with plain yogurt and baked it inside of some green peppers, jalapenos and banana peppers from my garden. It was really good! I liked it in the jalapenos best.
And now… on to the cheesecake recipe!
Goat Cheese Pumpkin Cheesecake
Makes two cheesecakes
For the Crust
2 ½ cups of pecans
¼ cup organic cane sugar
4 Tablespoons of butter
For the cheesecake
16 ounces of cream cheese
5 ounces of plain goat cheese
1 cup plain yogurt
4 eggs
2 cups of pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 ½ cups of honey or sweetener of your choice
For the crust
Preheat your oven to 325° F
Pour the pecans into your food processor and pulse them 10 or 15 times to break the nuts up into assorted sizes.
In a medium sized bowl, mix the chopped pecans with the sugar.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter, pour it into the bowl of pecans and sugar and stir to evenly coat the nuts.
Evenly divide the pecan, sugar, butter mixture between two pie plates.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the plates with clean hands or the back of a spoon.
Bake for 20 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
For the cheesecake
Preheat your oven to 325° F
Allow the eggs, cream cheese, yogurt and eggs to warm up to room temperature.
Mix all of the cheesecake ingredients together in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until they are thoroughly combined.
Pour ½ of the mixture into each fully cooled, prepared pie crust.
Fill a small pan about half full with water and place it in the bottom of your oven. This creates some steam and helps to keep your cheesecake from cracking.
Bake for one hour.
Recipe Notes
This recipe works just as well in a graham cracker crust. I did the pecan crust because I love pecans and I wanted to make it gluten free.
I thought the sweetness of this recipe was just right, but my husband and son thought it needed a bit more. They regularly consume sweets and I don't. They topped their slices of goat cheese pumpkin cheesecake with a bit of local maple syrup to sweeten it up just a bit more. Adjust the amount of sweetener up or down to suit your taste preferences or top it with some local maple syrup like my family did.
If you have access to an abundance of goat cheese, you can do a 50/50 mix of goat cheese to cream cheese. Which works out to about 10.5 ounces of each.
If you don't have any goat cheese, you can use all cream cheese. But you will be missing out!
Are you a local food lover or a proud Hoosier?
Or Both?
If you are, we hope you'll keep in touch!

I want to buy Australian. I'm looking for...
Australian Made is working strategically to link manufacturers with ICN as part of the Federal Government's Buy Australian at Home and Abroad (BAHA) initiative.
How to access major projects
The ICN Gateway database is an online connection point for buyers and suppliers looking to build partnerships. It enables suppliers to search projects and register their company's interest with just a few easy steps. Similarly, project managers and ICN consultants use the database when searching for suppliers for specific projects.
Australian Made recommends all its licensees, and other manufacturers of Australian-made products not already registered on this database, go to www.gateway.icn.org.au and register.
This will be an important first step to building effective and potentially lucrative project partnerships, whether as a supplier of technologies and heavy industrial equipment or food products and everyday consumables.
Buy Australian at Home and Abroad
In the current business environment, the BAHA project is a very timely initiative if Australia is to maximise the returns available to it as a result of the high demand for our minerals—for the benefit for all Australians both now and in the future.
BAHA aims to increase the participation of Australian suppliers by linking them with project opportunities flowing from the strong growth of the resources sector. The ICN is a network of state and federally funded bodies which for nearly 30 years has been working with project contractors to identify local businesses capable of being suppliers to those projects-a strategic approach to import replacement.
Accessing project information
One way Australian Made licensees can stay informed is by subscribing to the ICN's new quarterly newsletter, Capability News.
It provides Australian manufacturers with the latest updates on major projects, new opportunities for your business and information about how ICN is introducing Australian companies to the supply chain of major projects. It also includes a handy list of upcoming events.
You can receive Capability News electronically. Simply visit www.icn.org.au or sign up here.
For those manufacturers of Australian-made products not already registered on the ICN Gateway, make sure you register as soon as possible. If you have already registered, make sure your profile is up to date. Once registered, you can nominate to receive automated email updates detailing upcoming project opportunities and news. It can be one of the most effective ways to keep informed and generate new business.
Visit www.gateway.icn.org.au to create or update your profile.

The Toronto Outcome Measure for Craniofacial Prosthetics: Reliability and Validity of a Condition-Specific Quality-of-Life Instrument
James D. Anderson, BSc, DDS, MScD/Dennis A. Johnston, BS, MA, PhD/Gil S. Haugh, BS, MS/Sudarat Kiat-amnuay, DDS, MS/Lawrence Gettleman, BA, DMD, MSD
DOI: 10.11607/jomi.2551
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to refine the Toronto Outcome Measure for Craniofacial Prosthetics (TOMCP), present evidence for its reliability and validity, and use the instrument to explore differences in quality of life between prostheses made with chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) (experimental) and silicone (control). Materials and Methods: As part of a multicenter prospective controlled randomized double-blind singlecrossover clinical trial of the two materials, the TOMCP was administered at the start and end of two 4-month study arms, during which 42 patients wore prostheses made from one material then the other. Reliability was assessed at the crossover. To determine validity of the TOMCP, the Linear Analogue Self-Assessment (LASA-12) and the Short-Form 8 (SF-8) were also administered with the TOMCP. The TOMCP was reduced by removing items that were unreliable, had poorly distributed answers, showed increased internal consistency after their removal, or were too highly correlated with more than one other item. The tests of reliability and validity were then repeated. Finally, the reduced instrument was used to test for differences in quality of life between prostheses made of the two materials. Results: The item reduction tactics pared the 52-item instrument down to 27 items. The correlations of both TOMCP versions with the LASA-12 and the SF-8 were found to be statistically significant, providing evidence of the validity of the TOMCP. The instrument revealed significantly better quality of life with silicone rather than CPE prostheses. Conclusions: Both versions of the TOMCP were found to be reliable and valid. The instrument was able to show differences in quality of life between two materials. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2013;28:453460. doi: 10.11607/jomi.2551

We head east off the moor and, on reaching
Boslow Stone
, swing north along a little track. Still almost hidden, in a triangle of land next to the track is Portheras Common barrow. I have looked for it before but always been defeated, but Chrisbird's photos from earlier in the year have given me fresh heart and sure enough, the barrow has been freed from the mess of undergrowth for the first time in years. This is a terrific little barrow, with a near-complete kerb and a central chamber/cist still boasting its capstone. Already the vegetation is growing back, brambles are trailing the barrow and patches of purple-ish campion sprout around the centre and the lovely Cornish foxgloves are doing their thing nearby as well. But it's great to finally see this barrow, especially to see how well-preserved it is.

Marked on the Explorer map 102 as a 'cairn'. In a small triangular moorland plot beside the Trewellard branch of the B3318 near its junction with the Pendeen branch of the same road.
This is what Craig Weatherhill says in his book 'Belerion: Ancient Sites of Land's End' (Cornwall Books, 1981)..."A very fine barrow, 12.2m in diameter and 0.8m high, with much of its stone kerb remaining. In the centre of the mound is a well preserved burial cist 1.2m long and 0.6m wide, roofed by a heavy capstone some 1.8m long. It is believed to have been excavated by W.C.Borlase, and a cupped stone (present whereabouts unknown) probably came from this barrow."

Multiplay, the organisers of some of the UK's largest multiplayer gaming events, has announced the return of its flagship event - the M Festival.
M Festival Spring is set to take place at Stoneleigh Park from 10 - 13 April 2009, and is no doubt hoping to mirror the success of last year's event.
Visitors will be able to check out all the latest hardware and software from some of the top names in the gaming industry that will fill the 3000sqm exhibition hall.
There will be competitions and prizes to be won throughout the weekend, including EA's £10,000 Fifa '09 tournament and the UK's largest LAN party that will see over 2000 PC gamers compete in games such as Halo 3 and Rock Band.
Aside from the gaming, there will also be a whole host of outdoor activities planned for the weekend including quad biking.
"M Festival was such a big success for us last year we never doubted it would return" said Craig Fletcher, managing director of Multiplay".
"An event like M Festival can really help stimulate the industry and consumers at a time which might otherwise appear bleak. We're not happy with just running another event; we're raising the bar once again and making M Festival Spring a turning point for UK gaming".
For more about M Festival and to purchase tickets, head over to the M Festival website.

Typically, the ladybug or lady beetle, is one of the more popular insects with their bright red color and black spots. You can find decorations adorn with ladybugs, ladybug toys, and even clothing with ladybugs as the main feature. But, if you have had lady beetles invading your home during the winter months, you may not find them so cute or interesting anymore.
The multicolored Asian Lady Beetle (Harmonia Axyridis) now makes its home in the U.S. A native of Asia, this beneficial ladybug was imported in the early 1900s to help naturally control pest populations that were damaging such crops as alfalfa, pecan and citrus trees. The beneficial aspects of this ladybug have been quite useful in reducing the need for pesticides and have relieved the hardwood forests of many disease carrying aphids, mites and scale insects.
The Asian Lady Beetle is much like the native species found through the U.S. However, unlike the native species, this ladybug can be quite aggressive. Masses of ladybugs have been known to swarm and even bite when seeking shelter for the winter months. In this regard, they have been an unwelcome guest for homeowners that don't find them to be good luck at all, but rather a nuisance.
Research entomologists have been working diligently on methods to prevent ladybugs from entering the home and on ways to safely and effectively capture them once inside. Fortunately, ladybugs are not structure damaging insects. They will not eat home materials and will not lay eggs inside the home. Yet, if disturbed, the ladybug will stress, releasing a yellow, smelly substance from their joints - this is known as reflex bleeding. It is a defensive mechanism for the insect to defend itself from predators.
The best preventative is to caulk cracks and crevices around doors and windows, pipes that enter the house and replace or repair damaged clap boards. Once ladybugs penetrate the home, they typically return year after year, knowing this was a good site to rest. Pheromones released by past ladybugs are detected by future generations. Also, the color of a home and the location are important factors. They tend to chose light colored homes that are nestled in forest or wooded areas.

£135m Epwin IPO led by Zeus Capital
31st July 2014
Zeus Capital has acted as nominated adviser and sole broker to Epwin Group on its AIM IPO and £94 million institutional fundraise. On admission, Epwin had a market capitalisation of £135 million.
Epwin, founded in 1976, is a vertically integrated manufacturer of extrusions, mouldings and fabricated low maintenance building products, operating in the repair maintenance and improvement, new build property and social housing sectors. Overall, Epwin's offering comprises of over 30 different brands which specialise in their own market segment.
The current Epwin business was created by the merger between Latium and Epwin in January 2012. Prior to this the Epwin business had operated successfully since the late 1970s. In the two years post the merger, the business has grown revenues, whilst improving margins by achieving synergies from the combination of the Epwin and Latium businesses.
Jon Bednall, Chief Executive Officer at Epwin, commented:
"We are delighted to launch as a public company and are particularly pleased with the strong support from institutional investors and look forward to working with them to build on Epwin's strengths and grow the business. The team at Zeus has delivered beyond our expectations and have been an excellent team to work with. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Zeus as a public company."
Dominic King, Head of Birmingham office at Zeus Capital, commented:
"We are delighted to have advised Epwin on its AIM IPO. The £94 million placing will enable the Company to pay down debt and allow its major shareholders a majority exit, whilst the listing on AIM will provide a solid platform for the Company's future development. Zeus has now acted on nine high profile IPOs in the last 12 months, raising over £900 million."

As the countdown to the Hawks' return drove fans nuts with anticipation, the team was driving some hype of its own.
The Blackhawks Blues Mobile, which since the 2008-2009 season has been a part of the Blackhawks marketing arm, took to the streets last week with a large sandwich board, displaying the number of days until the first Hawks game of the shortened season. Adam Rogowin, director of public relations for the Blackhawks, said the countdown was a popular promotion on social media, with fans snapping photos and sending the #onegoal hashtag to the @NHLBlackhawks handle for a chance at prizes.

Economy and Equity
Barry Bluestone
Welcome to my Boston.com blog. In the months to come, I hope to provide you with food for thought about the economy and public policy — particularly about Greater Boston and Massachusetts but often about the nation and the world. There will be plenty of numbers and statistics, but I hope you will find that within those numbers there are big stories. Many you may find surprising, some I hope you find thought-provoking, and others just plain fun. As an economist, I work with numbers and statistics all the time. These can be pretty tiresome until you see the story within. I'll do my best to reveal these stories and would appreciate hearing back from you about your own interpretations.

If you can't get Janelle Monáe's voice (or pelvic-thrusting dance moves) out of your head, know you're not alone. We're still kind of buzzing from her performance and, of course, the clothing delivery that went along with it at Rebecca Minkoff's show yesterday. Indeed, it felt like one big (industry) party — and that makes sense.
The pop-of-color (and black-and-white) spring '14 collection is perfectly functional as party-wear. From the tousled braids to the floral-and-mesh layered dresses, the citrus-colored skirts right on down to the sandal booties, we're totally swooning over everything that stomped on down to Monáe's raucous beats. And though the singing could have distracted from the runway's offerings, it instead added to the mood. Minkoff herself is a designer you want to hang with, and her newest clothes are the kind you want to hang in. So, hey, if you wanna say that by wearing them you're celebrating with Janelle Monáe, Lindsey Wixson, Rebecca Minkoff, and all the front-row celebs, we'll back you up — cuz you kinda are.

Materials in Marine Technology covers the important aspects of metallurgy and materials engineering which must be taken into account when designing for marine environments. The purpose is to aid materials selection and the incorporation of materials data into the design, manufacture and inspection strategy. Recent advances in materials technology, including the use of new materials for marine applications Alloys, Polymers and Composites are examined in detail. The integrated approach is design oriented and is supported by recent case studies.For example, the widely used BS 970 high-strength steel 817M40 (formerly En 24 ) can be supplied in a variety of heat ... of different steels and treatments, but the AISI specifications 1340 and 4140 shown along with their CCT diagrams in Fig.

In The News › World Trade Center redevelopment appears ready to move forward

World Trade Center redevelopment appears ready to move forward
By Bruce Eggler, The Times-Picayune
It has taken lawyers and accountants a full year to work out all the details, but an effort to clear the way for possible redevelopment of the World Trade Center site on the New Orleans riverfront is finally moving forward.
Officials first laid out the basic plan in January 2011, but repeated delays kept postponing its implementation.
The city and the World Trade Center organization have tried since 1998 to find a way to redevelop the 33-story, 670,000-square-foot office tower, but the efforts all have come to naught.
The site at the foot of Canal and Poydras streets is considered one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the city, but the 1960s building's unusual X-shaped floor plan has proved a problem.
The latest plan involves the city buying out the trade-promotion organization's lease on the building for $2.3 million. Once the city gains full authority over the site, it can make a new effort to redevelop the property, either with or without the aging, now-vacant building.
The City Council approved the plan in December.
Deputy Mayor Cedric Grant, who is overseeing the process for the Landrieu administration, said recently that lawyers were still going over the final documents but that they were almost ready to sign.
He said he expects to issue a request for proposals by midyear, asking developers for their ideas on what should be done with the site. A hotel or condominiums have been the most frequently heard suggestions, but the city is prepared to entertain all ideas.
In addition, Grant said, the public will be asked for its opinions. "There will be some engagement" with the public before the request for proposals is issued, he said.
Although the city owns the building and the land under it, the nonprofit World Trade Center organization built the tower in the 1960s with proceeds from city-issued revenue bonds. The trade-promotion organization has paid no rent for its lease in recent years, but it has been responsible for maintenance and insurance on the property. The lease runs until 2019.
The city's deal to buy out the lease involves two city-owned public-benefit corporations, the New Orleans Building Corp., acting as the WTC building's landlord, and the Canal Street Development Corp., which acts as landlord for the former D.H. Holmes store on Canal Street.
The Canal Street agency will provide $2 million of the $2.3 million the WTC organization will receive, with the Building Corp. furnishing the rest. The Canal Street agency will be repaid with the revenue from the WTC building's 1,000-space garage, which is leased to the nearby Hilton Riverside Hotel. The garage and other minor revenue sources at the building generate about $750,000 a year. The Building Corp. will receive $250,000 a year from the garage's revenue.
The latest plan was devised after several previous efforts to redevelop the WTC site failed.
The WTC organization and the city negotiated for eight years with developers Lane and Larry Sisung, who withdrew from the project in 2006. The WTC and the city then began negotiations with Full Spectrum NY, which backed out in 2008 after it could not secure financing for the deal, which would have given it a 99-year lease on the building.
The Full Spectrum lease would have required it to pay $30 million up front for rights to redevelop the building, with $24.25 million of that going to the New Orleans Building Corp. and the remainder to the WTC organization as reimbursement for gutting and renovation work it did earlier in anticipation of a deal for a hotel development. The trade group also would have received an annual payment.
After Full Spectrum pulled out, the city offered in late 2008 to lease the building to local developers Darryl Berger and Pres Kabacoff, but they said the lease terms the city offered were not acceptable.
The Bureau of Governmental Research suggested in January 2009 that instead of trying to make a deal with another developer, the city should buy out the trade organization's lease and then sell the tower and garage outright to a private developer.
However, buyout talks between the WTC and Mayor Ray Nagin's administration, represented by former Building Corp. head Sean Cummings, broke down, leaving the building's future in limbo when Landrieu took office last year.
Most of the building's few remaining tenants — including law firms, commercial offices, a few shops and foreign consulates — were told to move out in early 2009. The building's management said the evictions were designed both to save money and to make the building more appealing to potential developers.
The trade group moved the building's signature Plimsoll Club, a restaurant and bar with a panoramic view of the Mississippi River, to Canal Place in early 2010.
Cummings said in early 2010 that he had concluded that the land beneath the building would be more valuable and more attractive to developers if the aging tower were removed.
City Council approval of the latest plan was delayed briefly in the fall when chunks of concrete from the underside of the roof fell 400 feet to the ground. Even though the result of the latest redevelopment effort could very well be a decision to tear down the building, the WTC organization agreed to pay for $400,000 in repairs.
