When Anna sought help from a Solace Women's Aid refuge she had no money and had experienced abuse at the hands of her husband and his family. With a young child in tow, she did not even have a home to go to.
A lease was arranged on an unfurnished flat for Anna (not her real name) and an application made to Islington's resident support scheme for things like furniture, including a bed and sofa.
The Women's Aid refuge offered support, working closely with the council, to make sure that Anna was helped to find a job and get money advice. It was because of this that Anna and her child could rebuild their lives.
The council was able to help because of funding, but now families already left reeling from successive cuts to social security are about to be hit again. This time, the government has decided to axe the local welfare provision grant.
The £172m national scheme, which Islington council uses its £1.2m share of to provide essential goods and small cash payments to residents in crisis like Anna, will be scrapped from 2015-16. It is the latest in a series of steps the government has taken; the impact being that local authorities feel ever more pressure to deliver vital welfare services with ever-diminishing budgets.
Last year council tax benefit was localised and at the same time cut by 10% -; a £2.9m loss in our borough alone.
Despite concern that some local authorities have failed to spend their funding for crisis grants in full (see Simon Danczuk MP's article on the Guardian Local Leaders Network on 7 January), in Islington where 42% of children grow up below the poverty line we are on target to spend our full allocation of £1.2m in each of 2013-14 and 2014-15.
No money has been offered to compensate the council for this cut. Indeed, it comes at a time when the government is slashing more than £20m (11%) from the council's core grant next year alone.
In 2012, concerned that aspects of the local welfare provision grant were to be devolved with a reduced budget, Islington council teamed up with local grant-giving charity Cripplegate Foundation to support Islington residents when they need it most. Islington's resident support scheme (RSS) was born. Run in partnership with Cripplegate, who include their own grants in the scheme, the RSS also benefits from other charities pooling their resources and expertise.
We have been using our RSS to shield our poorest residents -; including homeless people, those with chronic illnesses, mental health issues and physical disabilities – from the worst excesses of the government's welfare reforms.
All the money we have spent from the fund has supported those in genuine need -; keeping families together, sustaining tenancies and helping residents on the breadline to survive.
But the government's latest short-sighted cut means more tough decisions lie ahead for councils, charities and residents like Anna. The support Anna got has helped her rebuild her life and provide a home for her son. I don't believe that Hertfordshire council's failure to spend its crisis fund in full should mean that people like Anna here in Islington have another lifeline cut.

A presentation took place Friday at the university's Grounds Department with university officials, staff members and representatives from Caterpillar present.
The two donated pieces of equipment - a Telehandler TH215 and a Caterpillar Skid Steer Loader - together are valued at more than $100,000. Construction management majors will use the machines to learn the operation capacity of the equipment.
"We're using muscle power now for some projects," said Ron Sessoms from the Department of Construction management. "This equipment will add an element of speed and is a real nice addition.
Students will also use the equipment to help with Habitat for Humanity projects, said Douglas Kruger, chair of the Department of Construction management.
"They need to be able to give back to the community and this is just one way to do it," Kruger said.
Scott Cooper, a senior project engineer and an ECU alum, helped to coordinate the donation.

If residents truly want to rid the city of the ills associated with short-term vacation rentals, it should legalize and regulate them, not ban them, says a New Orleans group that has sprung up to defend the oft-maligned informal rental market.
Jim Uschold and Bob Ellis, lawyers for the Alliance for Neighborhood Prosperity, acknowledge that there are some bad actors in the black market rental world.
Uschold said critics rightly point out that there are so many short term rentals in some areas of New Orleans that it damages the quality of life for residents. And some operators, especially those who don't live on the site of their rental properties, don't do enough to keep their tenants in line, he said.
However, they said, those problems stem from an archaic definition of short-term rentals in the city code and a failure by the city to enforce the ban due to a lack of funding.
Current rules forbid short-term rentals of less than 30 days in nearly all of the city's neighborhoods. However, the city has done little to actually crack down on them, so they have continued to proliferate, as residents and investors try to cash in on the lucrative market.
If there were a set of rules in place and operators were forced to get licenses subject to renewal, they would have an incentive to keep their tenants from disrupting the neighborhood, Ellis said.
Some opponents are concerned about a flood of tourism in residential neighborhoods. Uschold said that is a valid concern, but not an insurmountable one. Short-term rentals should have a density restriction similar to that of licensed bed-and-breakfasts operations, which are limited to one per block face.
Furthermore, if such properties were taxed, those funds could be used to enforce the rules and eliminate problem operators, according to the alliance.
"Until you have some money to bring things to a head, you are never going to get anywhere," said Ellis, a former city attorney who worked in the revenue office. "The city just doesn't have the resources."
The details of the rules, including how many short-term rentals are allowed and where, will have to be worked out over time, said Uschold and Ellis. For now, their group is just trying to start a dialog.
To that end, they are commissioning an economic impact study to show city leaders and residents how much money short-term rentals bring into New Orleans and could be adding to the tax base.
The alliance was created earlier this year to give voice to property owners who want to be able to rent their homes and properties legally, according to the lawyers. There are currently about 20 such property owners associated with the group, they said.
The group is in the process of filing formal incorporation papers to become a non-profit, Uschold said.

A dry weather pattern has returned to much of California after the recent spell of rainy weather, leaving residents wondering when they will see rain again.
Although no major storms are on the horizon, moisture streaming over the Pacific Northwest will occasionally dip southward, bringing a few opportunities for rain in northern and central California through next week.
Despite some rain in the forecast, it does not appear like it will be enough to have a meaningful impact on the severe drought gripping nearly all of the state.
Rounds of rain will be seen over northern portions of the state through midweek with the moisture taking its first dip southward on Thursday. This will bring the next chance of rain to cities such as San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno and Redding.
This swath of moisture looks to depart the region by Friday before diving southward once again on Sunday, affecting the same areas.
After this second push, it does not appear like any rain will be seen over the state until at least the end of next week, possibly longer.
Unfortunately, this rain is not forecast to reach Southern California, keeping cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego dry all the way through next week.
One of the benefits to the rain-free weather in Southern California is that residents will not have to battle the elements when cleaning up after the recent storms.
As beneficial as the rain was from these storms, they did cause flash flooding and mudslides over the area late last week and over the weekend that put lives and properties at risk.
According to the most recent report form the U.S Drought Monitor, nearly 75 percent of the state is in an extreme drought.
"Yes, it was nice to get a good sized storm. But the state is nowhere near out of the woods." said AccuWeather.com Western Weather Expert Ken Clark.
With little to no rain on the horizon over the next week and a half, drought conditions will only worsen across California before the state enters their dry season.
"The drought in California did not just develop this year, or in the last 12 months, but over the last three years. It is unrealistic to think one series of storms is going to have a huge impact on the long-term drought." said Clark.
If the pattern does not yield more rain over California before the summer, the risk of wildfires will likely increase dramatically, putting even more lives and property at risk.

As discussed in our announcement last week, our SLX Visibility Services are built on our use of programmable silicon (Cavium XPliant), which allows richer extensibility inside the individual SLX 9140 (leaf) and 9240 (spine) switches. The two main elements to the visibility services are rich classification and action.
If you're thinking that classification and action sound like packet filtering, you're right. What's different here is that we provide this capability right in the hardware, yet with all the flexibility of software. Using Visibility Services, you can classify and act at multiple layers, and optionally automate these procedures at any time. Finally, this agile capability is fully upgradeable between software releases.
Rich classification is important because you need multiple layers of visibility:
The potential actions—mirror, count, and drop—can be configured either manually or by adding an automated workflow that can react to specific events or criteria. Captured data can also be sampled through sFlow, analyzed through SPAN (switch port analysis), or streamed to other analytics tools.
Having these services available on the SLX 9140 and 9240 means that you have this enhanced visibility from the top of rack (leaf) to the spine, and from the "wire to the workflow." Combined with simplified configuration through Brocade Workflow Composer integration, this provides some powerful options.
To understand how different visibility options work together, there are at least three different perspectives (Figure 1) that we can consider:
Figure 1: Perspectives on Visibility Related to PIN, Scale, and Specificity
For example, you may need different visibility requirements at the leaf, spine and super spine. Similarly, you may need only a few gigabits of traffic, or you may need to capture and analyze terabytes of data. Perhaps a statistical sampling is all that is needed, or you may need to analyze multiple consecutive packets in a flow.
You can gain a certain degree of visibility by simply gathering statistics and state information through existing protocols like SNMP and sFlow, or with streaming mechanisms like grpc or other publish/subscribe models. These conventional methods involve collecting data in the aggregate, covering everything that's going on in the network.
For more specificity, SLX Insight Architecture and Visibility Services provide filtered data about the payloads in your network. With this richer classification and increased specificity, you can take actions either on or off the network element.
You can use these capabilities together for a comprehensive visibility solution across your entire data center, or you can stream captured data to other Brocade tools or third party analytics applications.
To see how our visibility capabilities work with our automation toolset, consider a distributed application in a data center (Figure 2). An operator gets a call from an end user complaining that an application isn't running, or is slow.
Figure 2: Agility through Automation and Visibility
The ticketing system or network operator logs the ticket, and proceeds to determine the origin of the problem: the application itself, insufficient or overloaded compute resources, a misconfigured overlay, or perhaps a faulty network connection. Today, the operator must gather data from different places in the network with multiple tools, bring that data back and take action—there are many disparate tools and manual efforts involved in this process.
This all changes with the right combination of inbuilt visibility and automation capabilities. For instance, as the original call comes in, it now triggers a BWC workflow and uses multiple tools to gather information:
With the right level of information at the right time and locations, the automated workflow can take action on an individual switch or router, and/or send the data to an external tool, or perhaps again into BWC for closed-loop remediation.
As shown here, you can use SLX Visibility Services (on leaf and spine) or SLX Insight Architecture (in the super spine), but can also leverage your existing tools. Furthermore, you don't need to start from scratch, as we have provided pre-packaged automation suites for the Brocade Workflow Composer. More on that next week.
In the meantime, contact your sales representative to discuss how these options related to your applications and data center network.

Critic Reviews for Charly
All Critics (17) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (5) | DVD (2)
I'm told by someone whose opinion I respect that the novel was very moving and very sad. The movie is not. It's science-fiction without gadgets, a horror film without thrills.
The film's main problem is that director Ralph Nelson virtually ignores the philosophical elements of the story and emphasizes its most maudlin aspects, while throwing in a little sci-fi, romance, and spurious social commentary.
Cliff Robertson was rewarded with an Oscar for repeating his TV role, that of a mentally retarded man, and for paying with his own money for the screen adaptation of the popular novel, directed in a pedestrian mode by Ralph Nelson.
This moving film is the crowning achievement of Cliff Robertson's career.
...the fact that the majority of Charly feels utterly superfluous.
Audience Reviews for Charly
A mentally retarded bakery worker is given a treatment that makes him smart. The most striking problem with this film is the incredibly unnecessary and distracting psychedelic sequences that interrupt the story. With bright colors and freeze-frames, the film briefly becomes a music video before returning to the plot. Ignoring these sequences, the film still suffers because the central question of the story and the source material is whether being smart makes one a better person or happier. The film doesn't seem to care about the ethical dilemmas associated with the doctors' treatment or the effects on Charley. Rather, we get maudlin nonsense and a ham-handed love story that has none of the passion or chemistry that - for example - the love story in My Left Foot features. Overall, this film may be a victim of its psychedelic times, but that isn't the only thing holding it back from its potential.
Super Reviewer
Charly lives because Cliff Robertson is incredible. His performance makes the film just so brilliant in a sense, and I loved him. The films itself has a great message and I enjoyed it.
Super Reviewer
I enjoyed the book Flowers for Algernon when I read it in grade school, but seeing it on the screen was a disappointing experience. They changed things for the worse, and the actors were bad, and they had some weird psychedelic stuff in there. I wouldn't recommend seeing this movie.

No. 13 Kansas State defends home turf
Wildcats win five events, set 17 personal records at KSU Open
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- No. 13 Kansas State posted five wins and 17 personal records as well as a handful of top 10 marks in school history at the KSU Open on Friday afternoon. The Wildcats saw improvement from their sprinters and pole vaulters for the second consecutive week, and the throwers had a strong showing to build momentum heading into next week's Big 12 Championship.
The pair of Kyle Wait and Cameron Savage put on a display in the pole vault as each improved their PR's by a large margin to clear 5.20 meters (17-00.75) to take the top two spots. Wait claimed the win based on misses as he cleared 5.20 on his first attempt with Savage making it on his third. The mark puts the two in a tie for 35th in the nation and ranks third in school history. The last time a Wildcat cleared the height was 2007 when Bryce Bergman did so at the Dan DeHart Invitational.
"I think it was a pretty good day for us," K-State head coach Cliff Rovelto said. "Our top guys in the vault both had PR's, and even our other freshman Tommy Brady had one and almost made his next bar."
Carlos Rodriguez ran his way to a win and improved his fastest time in the 60 meters clocking in at 6.71 seconds. The time moves him into fourth in school history and 28th in the NCAA this season. Also for the sprinters, Martynas Jurgilas returned to form running his fastest time of the season in 6.82 seconds to take second place in the final. Dane Steen also ran 6.91 seconds in the final for his fastest time and a fifth-place finish.
In the throwing events, Tomaz Bogovic posted his best throw as a Wildcat and was just a quarter of an inch off his personal best winning the weight throw at 18.64 meters (61-02.00). The mark also holds his spot in eighth in school history. Ryan Johnson had his best throw since becoming a Wildcat in January finishing second with his distance of 18.34 meters (60-02.00). It also puts him 10th on the K-State list all-time.
Chris Gattman finished third for the Wildcats with his best throw since transferring to K-State in January. He had a season best mark of 17.88 meters (58-08.00). Ryan Hershberger kept his consistently strong season going with a win in the men's shot put with a new PR. He claimed the win with a toss of 17.83 meters (58-06.00) to move into eighth in school history.
The women's throwers took spots 2-3-4 in the weight throw led by Ali Pistora. Chelsie Bonds and Jessica Carter finished behind her with Chandra Andrews competing unattached and getting the win. In the shot put, Jacquelyne Leffler tallied another home with with her best toss of 14.75 meters (48-04.75). It marked her third win of the season and best throw since mid-January.
Tarique Hill ran a new PR in the 60-meter hurdles finishing in 8.03 seconds in the preliminaries. He went on to run 8.11 in the final and finish fourth.
"In general the hurdlers all had a solid day. Some were right at their PR's or just off it," Rovelto said. "I think everyone in the 60 ran very good today. Carlos had never run indoors in his life before he got here in January. That was only his fourth meet indoors and that's a pretty good time. Martynas ran a lot better than he has been running."
Jacob Davies ran his way to a meet record in the men's 800 meters to tally another win for the Wildcats. Davies ran the race in 1:51.18, shaving nearly half a second off the previous meet record set in 1991. He also now ranks ninth in school history. A pair of Wildcats ran well in the 1,000 meters for the men to keep the success coming for the mid-distance runners. Kyle Hanson won with his time of 2:27.65 followed by Ryan Hershner in 2:31.69. Hershner's time was a new personal best.

With spring in full swing, it is time to turnover your winter wardrobe and break out your favorite spring/summer essentials. For those warmer months, nothing is more effortlessly chic than a great pair of denim shorts. Whether you are a blue jean baby, or you prefer a rock & roll-inspired black pair, this look provides a little something for everyone. As usual, we have taken a few style tips from our favorite celebrity muses to show us the way forward. With that, we present our April edition of Style Tips.
STYLE TIP #1 / Wear lace-up jazz shoes and a slouchy jumper for a casual-yet-cool look: If one thing is certain about Kate Bosworth, it is that she is always true to her Californian roots, with outfits that are one-part breezy charm and one-part on-trend. To fashion your denim shorts a la Kate, we think that this Curved Hem Sweat ($36) from Topshop would look great with these Loose Rolled Shorts ($150) by Joe's Jeans and Kimchi Blue's Teardrop Oxfords ($48).
STYLE TIP #2 / Add a bohemian element to your look by pairing your shorts with a floral blouse and sandals: As always, Nicole Richie is faithful to her bohemian aesthetic, pairing a loose, ethnic-print tank with woven sandals and distressed denim shorts. The look is perfect for this carefree, hippie mama. We suggest grabbing Diane Von Furstenberg's Finn Top ($225) and adding Forever21's Destroyed Denim Shorts ($19.80) and a pair of Free People's Folklore Sandals ($58).
STYLE TIP #3 / Give your outfit a grunge-inspired edge with DIY studs and a checkered button-down shirt: As always, Rachel Bilson keeps things young and fresh, pairing studded denim shorts with a checkered shirt and adding peep-toe flats for a hint of vintage inspiration. The result? A perfect, off-duty look that has her usual quirky-cool element. For a similar look, combine 7 For All Mankind's Plaid Boyfriend Shirt ($94.99) with We The Free's Boyfriend Roll Up Shorts ($70). A pair of Ralph Lauren Collection's Haylee Open-Toe Flats ($158) will complete the look.
STYLE TIP #4 / Work the downtown vibe by adding a quirky tee, ankle boots and a streetwise attitude: Chloe Sevigny has become known over time for her "cool girl" style and this outfit is no exception. Her quirky tee gives her an edge, while the ankle boots add a hint of trend appeal. We like throwing Erin Wasson X RVCA's Keep It Neil Tee ($54) over Urban Renewal's Cutoff Denim Shorts ($28), then adding Pour La Victoire's Brenda Ankle Boot ($202.12).
STYLE TIP #5 / Keep your nighttime look casual yet chic with a loose blouse and ballet flats: The lovely Bar Rafaeli knows how to work her off-duty look; she keeps things chic and down-to-earth with a breezy blouse and a pair flats that let her legs do the talking. For a similar style, we like Silence & Noise's Rouched Sleeve Chiffon Top ($58) paired with Roxy's Country Bumpkin Shorts ($39.50) and Jessica Simpson's Leve Square-Toe Flats ($49.99).
STYLE TIP #6 / Dress up your shorts by adding a classic blazer and wedge heels: Our final style tip comes from Kate Moss, who we can always count on to provide us with an effortless look that oozes sex appeal without going overboard. Dallin Chase's Duncan Blazer ($318) will start your look off perfectly, especially when paired with Current/Elliott's Side Zip Short ($114) and Steve Madden's Venomm Platform ($119.95).

Hey, I'm studying in Shanghai for the next 4 months and just recently found out about Hainan. At some point in the next few weeks I want to get a trip together (maybe 4 or 5 days?). If anyone is interested in joining contact me. I've been surfing for about 10 years and want to find some good waves but I didn't bring any of my boards so I'll need to find one there. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Clem: I posted that last reply before I saw your most recent response. I'd be very interested in heading up to Qingdao to find some surf. Like I said I need to find a board somehow but let me know if you're interested.

Hey all! I too am slightly still a beginner and want to really get better this summer. I will be living in Macau starting this July and was wondering if there was a surf school and possibly a place to rent a board.
If not, is anyone in the area that would want to be kept company out there in the surf? let me know!
RE: Surfing Hainan« Reply #6 on: May 04 2008 15:05:00 »
I was in Hainan for about 6 months during the winter months. During that time there were days or even weeks on end without swell. Around May there was more chance of caching some waves and there is a few good reef breaks around Ling Shui. Surfed the left break which is just of the main highway as you exit a tunnel coming from the North. Keep turning well left on the break though as there are some pretty nasy rocks. Can't remeber the name but is around the moon/sun bay area and there is an small island visible from the coast. Summer months are Typhoon season and the best time to catch some big swell.

Home > News > Bronson Battle Creek to Open Cancer Comfort Suite
Published on September 06, 2013
On Wednesday, September 25, Bronson Battle Creek (BBC) will unveil its newest service called a 'Comfort Suite' in the Mary Coleman Women's Center. It is a special place where cancer patients can rest at the hospital before receiving their same-day breast biopsy, between their multiple daily treatments for breast cancer, or for other patients that may have to spend a long period of time at the hospital on any given day. A Comfort Suite open house to dedicate the space will be held in the BBC Outpatient Center, off the Emmett Street parking lot #4. A brief program begins at 5 p.m. followed by tours of the new area. The public is invited."In partnership with the American Cancer Society, this innovative service is a quiet space, set-aside just down the hall from the cancer center, where patients can go and rest and rejuvenate between treatments," said Susan DeRuiter, RN, BS, CBPN-C, nurse navigator at the BBC Cancer Care Center. "The room is decorated in a soft color palate with comfortable chairs and couches. There is a television, a computer, and learning compact discs at the patient's disposal. A mini-refrigerator is stocked with water and soft drinks."The rigors of some therapies that cancer patients undergo can take their toll, especially if they need those treatments several times in one day. Add to that traveling to have the therapy in the morning, going home after that first treatment, and the inconvenience of having to return to the hospital in the afternoon for a second one is sometimes stressful. "We fully understand how cancer treatments can tire our patients, so it is important for them to get plenty of rest so they can stay strong," said Dr. Randy Mudge, BBC director of radiation oncology. "Leaving the hospital, going home, and then returning the same day for continued treatments is at best troublesome. We want to make our patients as comfortable as we can. This new service will go a long way in helping that happen.""Research shows that patients will have far better outcomes from their treatments if they are rested, relaxed, and happy," added Ann Moenke, health initiatives coordinator for the Great Lakes Division of the American Cancer Society. "Our new comfort suite will help our patients reach those goals physically, mentally, and spiritually."Much of the work in creating this space was donated through local trades-crafts. Special acknowledgement goes to, among others, Battle Creek Tile & Mosaic, Cook/Jackson Co., CSE Morse, CSM Group, Diekema-Hamann Architecture and Engineering, H & H Painting, Hunter-Prell Co., Motor Shop Electrical Const., and Woodsmiths.

The Swamp
Washington's Murky Pool of Corruption and Cronyism and How Trump Can Drain IteBook - 2017
The New York Times best-selling author of Wake Up America and cohost of Fox News' The Five chronicles various stories of political scandal in Washington, DC, and ends by offering recommendations on how President Trump can rid America's capital of political corruption.
McMillan Palgrave
When Washington D.C. was first built, it was on top of a swamp that had to be drained. Donald Trump says it's time to drain it again.
In The Swamp, bestselling author and Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling presents an infuriating, amusing, revealing, and outrageous history of American politics, past and present, Republican and Democrat. From national political scandals to tempests in a teapot that blew up; bribery, blackmail, bullying, and backroom deals that contradicted public policies; cronyism that cost taxpayers hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars; and personal conduct that can only be described as regrettable, The Swamp is a journey downriver through the bayous and marshes of Capitol Hill and Foggy Bottom.
The presidential election of 2016 was ugly, but it exposed a political, media, industry, and elite establishment that desperately wanted to elect a politician who received millions of dollars from terror-funding states over a businessman willing to tell the corrupt or incompetent, "You're fired."
The book concludes with a series of recommendations for President Trump: practical, hard-headed, and concise ways to drain the swamp and force Washington to be more transparent, more accountable, and more effective in how it serves those who have elected its politicians and pay the bills for their decisions.
Last year President Trump declared Wake Up America to be a "huge" book; Eric Bolling's second book is sure to build on that success. Entertaining and timely, The Swamp is the perfect book for today's political climate.

A lot of this book is historical background. A much better recent
book is "Drain the Swamp" by Congressman Ken Buck. I skipped
most of the historical stuff and went to chapter 13. When Eric
Bolling stated that President Thomas Jefferson was the father
of several of slave Sally Hemings kids, I just about stopped
reading any further. From all I've read and heard, A Jefferson
was probably Sally Hemings lover, but it was never proven
that it was Thomas Jefferson. If you want to really learn about
what the swamp is like and how to drain it, I would recommend
Ken Bucks book and "The Liberty Amendments" by Mark Levin.
Suggest one reads the book, Survival of the Richest, by Donald Jeffries, instead.
Also, to even begin to grasp Real News, and Reality, try reading David Dayen's incredible book, Chain of Title, which explains that those bankers [whom President Obama repeatedly claimed broke no laws] in actuality did everything illegally.
Along with that I would strongly recommend, The Case for the Corporate Death Penalty, by Mary Kreiner Ramirez, which bolsters Mr. Dayen's book in a most remarkable manner!
[Historical Note: Draining the swamp was first used in American politics by the old governor of Florida, Napoleon Broward, except I suspect he was referring to a real swamp back then.]

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 29, 2013
Super-Sod is giving back to the communities that support them. They have 5 farms and 11 outlets in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina and so are giving away 100 of their Doc's Raised Garden Kits in those states.
They're asking communities to help them give away the 100 Doc's Raised Garden Kits by nominating community gardens and families in need. Their hope is that these kits will be a part of providing nutritious food to families who might not have access otherwise. Super-Sod is a horticultural enterprise that employs expert gardeners - many who go home to continue gardening. It's a company of gardeners who know that growing one's own food is rewarding.
Each individual may nominate one family or community garden (in GA, NC, or SC - Super-Sod's home states) to receive a Doc's Raised Garden Kit. Each Doc's Kit is valued at $200 each, plus organic seeds will be included for this give-away.
One Doc's Raised Garden Kit is composed of:
- 1 wood bed made of rot-resistant wood that's fastened with handsome mortise and tenon joints (no tools required for assembly);
- 17 bags of Soil3 organic humus compost to fill the bed;
- And for this give-away, 4 packs of organic winter vegetable seeds from Sow True Seeds.
The company has created an app on their Soil3 Facebook page and Soil3 website where you can submit your nomination. Please visit either of these two sites to nominate:
Super-Sod is a family-run business that employs experts in turf and horticulture. One of their most popular products has been their Soil3 organic compost which they make partially from composted grass clippings from their sod production. They continue to develop new products, foster gardening and landscaping, and always seek to improve their knowledge, farming practices, technology, and environmental stewardship.

Difference between revisions of "Utqiaġvik (Alaska)"
Latest revision as of 09:39, 15 November 2017
Under the Köppen Climate Classification system, Utqiaġvik falls under a polar climate. This means very cold and long winters, and short, chilly, summers. If you plan to travel here for winter, you better really bundle up hard! Wind chills easily fall under -70 Fahrenheit. (-56 Celsius). Highs in the summer are usually around 40.
Get in[edit]
With the exception of an annual summer barge service, Utqiaġvik is a fly-in-only city. The airport, Wiley-Post Will Rogers Memorial Airport, is located directly south of the city.
By plane[edit]
Get around[edit]
By foot[edit]
Utqiaġvik is very small, and is actually a flat desert that almost never receives large amounts of snow. So it's easy to get around by foot even in the winter. During the colder months, you can walk directly across the frozen freshwater lagoons. Just bundle up and beware of the wind chill!
Walking in Utqiaġvik is great fun, as is checking out the beach directly in front of town. However, do not walk past the edge of town on the beach going south and do not walk either the road or the beach going north towards NARL/Ilisagvik/Point Barrow! And if you do see a Polar Bear stay at least 100 yards away, and preferably in a vehicle. Polar Bears absolutely will eat you.
By taxi[edit]
There are several cab companies in town. They are always driving about, and can be flagged down easily. Rates vary between $5-9 around Utqiaġvik proper and Browerville.
By car[edit]
UIC Car Rental, located near the Utqiaġvik Airport, provides car rentals. Availability can be limited during peak times. +1 907 852-2700. Gasoline can also be very expensive, as the price is set only once per year.
By bus[edit]
The city bus runs Monday thru Friday 7AM-7PM and can be a good option for daily commutes. Visitors, however, will probably be happier taking cabs due to the convenience, as well as the fact that cab fare for a group of 2 or more people will end up costing less money because the bus charges per person.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Buy[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
There are a number of decent restaurants in the Barrow/Browerville area. Expect to pay approximately $15-20+ per meal at most restaurants.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Bars and Clubs[edit]
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Stay Safe[edit]
Polar bears do roam this city, and are one of the few animals known to actively hunt and eat humans. If you see a polar bear, remain calm. Try and proceed to a building that you can take cover in until it goes away.
Get out[edit]

During my evidence session to your Committee
on 21 January, I promised to write to you in reply to Lord Scott
of Foscote's question about the practical challenges of enlargement,
concerning the size of the European Court of Justice (ECJ). Please
accept my apologies for the delay in responding.
The European Community Treaty, as amended by
the Treaty of Nice, which is now in force, provides that the ECJ
shall consist of one judge per Member State. This will continue
to be the case following enlargement.
Prior to the Nice Treaty, it was already possible
for the court to sit in chambers in certain cases. Under the Nice
reforms, the ECJ can now sit in chambers, as a Grand Chamber or
as the full court, as determined by the Statute of the Court.
This further increases the ECJ's flexibility to sit in smaller
numbers. It is important to maintain the principle of one judge
per Member State in the ECJ. This makes a crucial contribution
to ensuring that the ECJ as a body acts with a sound understanding
of the EU's different legal traditions.
The Convention on the Future of Europe has set
up a discussion circle on the ECJ. Baroness Scotland and Lord
Maclennan are both members of this group, which will consider
in more detail issues relating to the ECJ.

Wings of Glory Community Gospel Choir
Welcome to Wings of Glory Community Gospel Choir. If this is your first experience singing Gospel music, you may find our rehearsals different from those of other groups you've joined. We often learn by rote, which is by listening and repeating what you've heard. For trained musicians, this can be disturbing, but if you stay in the spirit of Gospel, you will eventually learn to enjoy the freedom. Sometimes written music is supplied, but keep in mind that one key feature of Gospel music is spontaneity, so expect to hear diversions from the hard copy, and changes in the music from one rehearsal to the next.
If singing in a group is new to you, hang in there! It can be daunting at first, but you will catch on! Some of the songs we perform are very easy, and you will be able to sing them after one rehearsal. Some are quite contemporary, and even our accomplished singers find them a challenge to learn. Don't get discouraged. The members of your section – soprano, alto, tenor, or bass – will be happy to help you learn the notes. Don't be afraid to ask. For both experienced and novice singers, an audio recorder (most smart cell phones will work) is your best tool for quick learning.
Attendance is not required at either weekly rehearsals or concerts,. Most people have busy lives, and commitments to work, kids, church, sports and other things. Participation in Wings of Glory should be enjoyable, not stressful. It is wonderful and highly appreciated when you come to practice or concerts. When you can't make it, it is a courtesy to drop the director an e-mail or make a phone call. Keep in mind that you will get more out of singing with Wings of Glory, both musically and spiritually, if you attend regularly.
Currently, child care is offered free of charge for potty-trained children ages 3 years to 10 years. If you plan to bring your child to rehearsal contact Loraine Nichols via e-mail at email@example.com; please plan to give at least 3 hours notice. You can rest assured that your child will be safe and entertained by our experienced childcare provider.
While we do not have official dues, we do pass the basket at each rehearsal. If you are blessed to be able to afford five or ten dollars a week, we really appreciate it. The money donated by the singers covers the fees for our director Adam Ivey, accompanist Smiley Brown, bassist Neil Fontano, and drummer Keith Fontano. All extra cash goes into the general fund for expenses such as postage, printing, workshops and scholarships and occasionally a guest musician. Except for the band and director, all staff members are volunteers.
Our beautiful navy and scarlet robes were purchased in the fall of 2003, after much research by the Robe Committee with input from choir members. Some people have purchased their robes, while other "rent" them. As a new member, you may borrow one of our spare robes for concerts, and return it afterwards. If you decide you are really serious about staying with the choir, you may want your own robe. You may purchase one of the spares, or we can order one for you.
While Wings of Glory is a community choir, and welcomes everyone, of any ability and all faiths, we sing the music of the Black American church, which includes Baptist, Congregational, Methodist (AME and plain ol'), many fundamentalist denominations, and even Episcopal and Catholic. This means the music is necessarily Christian in theme. Your personal faith is not an issue as long as you understand where we are "comin' from". We hope to provide each singer with a path to joyful adoration of God. May you thoroughly enjoy your experience with Wings of Glory, whether you stay for just one rehearsal or join us for the long ride!

We got to see part two of the 2-Player Productions and Naughty Dog collaboration detailing how Uncharted 3 came to be revealed. After the credits roll, a slight tease plays where a developer talks about how theyre taking players to new environments and situations they havent seen before. At the end, he proclaims the infamous train level and collapsing building segment shown at E3 will look like childs play compared to whats in the new game. Thats a pretty bold statement considering how big those moments were in 2009. The team clearly gets across theyre under a lot of pressure in the video, so hopefully theyll deliver when Uncharted 3 releases on the PlayStaiton 3 November 11. source: Wrap Zone Share On

New! Cutoff Times and Policy for Black Hills Triathlon
In order to ensure Athlete and Volunteer Safety during our race, we are implementing a new Cutoff Policy for the Black Hills Triathlon.
Swim Cutoff: The swim course will close 30 min after the last wave (7:35 AM) If you are still on the swim course after the 30 min cutoff, you will be given a boost to shore and proceed to transition and onto the bike course. You will be able to compete in the race with a time penalty of 30 min added to your overall race time. Note: If you think you will require more than 30 min to complete the swim, please let the BHT race director know prior to the race so that you can start in an earlier wave.
Bike Cut off: If you arrive at the Union Mills/Marvin Rd intersection after 8:45 AM, you will be directed to take a shorter route back to the transition area. Athletes not making the cut off will have 60 min added to their bike time BUT will be able to continue onto the run course and onto the finish line. Please note that you will encounter a large railroad crossing on the shorter route. Athletes must obey all traffic laws for railroad crossings and use extreme caution when travelling over them.
Run Cut off: If you do not arrive at Stanfield & 38th (approx. mile 2) by 10 AM, you will be turned back to the finish line and a time of 30 min will be added to your overall run time.
We regret having to enforce these cut off times, but it is for safety reasons so we appreciate your understanding. We want to make sure you can finish your day while we still have our volunteers and safety precautions in place to keep you safe and going in the right direction

Aquafarm - Closed Cage
The closed cage is built from GRP elements and reinforced with steel in areas that endures the most stress. The cage consists of several elements bolted together with use of a special technology.
The design also includes a pump system, which, through a strainer unit, extracts large volumes of water from a depth of 25 m or more.
The pumps have a high efficiency and reliability securing very low operating cost, and installation above sea level gives easy access for service and maintenance. A specially designed hatch system is installed in the side walls. The hatches are patented and give an exceptional hydraulic flow inside the cage. A separate (optional) system for inserting oxygen into the water flow is also located on the barge.
As the concept of the cage is to collect the waste from the fish and feed it may be located inside fjords and close to the shoreline. Waste from the fish and other pollution in the cage is collected in the sloped bottom cone. A flexible pipeline connects to the low point and leads up to the mud separator.
The closed cage from Aquafarm Equipment AS uses the lightweight material GRP with local reinforcements of high tensile steel. GRP has been proven to be an excellent material for fish farming and is used in many tanks for smolt. We have taken this line of thinking a large step further and made a floating cage.
The design consists of several elements fixed together with specially designed joints. This makes both transport and installation easy and affordable.
The size, thickness and geometry of the elements are shaped to give an optimal strength to weight ratio.
Neptun has now been tested for well over a year and proven to meet all the criteria's we defined in the design.
Technical Data:
- Inside diameter: ø40 mmodeller
- Circumference: 126 m
- Cage Depth: 22 m
- Gross Volume: 21.000 m3
- Significant Wave Height: Hs = 1,0 m
- Max Wave Height: HMax = 1,8 m
- Design Wind : v = 30 m/s (Severe Storm)
- Current: 0,75 m/s
- Lifetime: 25 years
- Certified design and construction according to NS9415:2009
Cost Factors
The investment cost for a Neptun Cage is somewhat higher than that of a conventional system. However the benefits of the closed cage will soon come to light and reveal many advantages.
In addition to direct sale we can offer both rental and leasing agreements. Please contact us for further details.ID-100272287
- The design life for the Neptun Cage is 25 years – strong and durable materials are selected to keep the maintenance cost as low as possible.
- High quality and very efficient pumps ensures low power consumption.
- Expenses due to escapes and change of nets are no longer a factor.
- Cost of delousing is reduced to a minimum – if any at all.
- The mortality rates are well below the rates in conventional cages. In the prototype the rates was below 1% up to 1 kg.
- As the waste is collected the Neptun Cage can be located close to shore saving transport cost for both personnel and equipment.
- The growth factor has proven to be excellent in the Neptun Cage – saving a lot on feed.
All in all the Neptun closed cage will prove to be a better investment after a short period of time.
The Challenges
Jumping SalmonOne of the major issues in the fish farming industry is the impact it has on the environment. The use of medicine and chemicals to handle sickness and lice in addition to the waste from the farm are issues that are discussed in may forums.
Fish escaping may possibly endanger the gene pool of the wild salmon population. It is also assumed that the resurgence of lice will increase the spread of disease.
The waste from the fish and other substances used to run a fish farm often ends up in the sea or on the seabed. Several tons of waste will accumulate. There are different views on what the impact on the local environment is.
The Solution
To help solve these challenges was our main impetus for the development of the Neptun Closed Cage. Trough full scale testing during 2013/2014 we have proven to meet many of these challenges.
As the Neptun Cage is made from solid components, escapes are no issue.
In the closed cage, the water is pumped up from a depth not normally inhabited by lice and other organisms.
As a result of this the use of chemicals and/or medicine may be drastically reduced in the Neptun Cage.
Our Cage includes a system for separating and extracting waste from the fish. Full scale testing has proven to collect as much as 60-80%. A second generation separator is currently being developed.
Moving the cage due to local environmental overload might no longer be an issue.
Fish Health
There are several parameters that influence the fish health. The Neptun Cage has proven to meet many of these through various concepts.
PetitSaumonThe pump capacity and the hydraulic design ensure fresh water throughout the whole cage. At full power the total cage volume is replaced more than 32 times a day. The current induced by the pumps gives the fish a continuous flow of water and simulate the sea current. In addition oxygen is distributed inside the water flow, – the O2-saturation is monitored and may be regulated to the optimum for the fish.
As the water in the cage is extracted from >25 m, the temperature is more stable through the seasons and optimal for fish growth. This depth is also believed to be below the normal area for lice and other organisms in the water, hence, a large reduction of lice, contamination and infection is the result.
All these factors put together has shown to give increased growth, low mortality and a more healthy fish.
The full scale test gives these results:
up to 1 kg => 0,4 %
Feeding Factor:
up to 1 kg => 0,87
UNI Miljø (UNI Environment) carried out research for Aquafarm Equipment AS in regards to fish health within closed cage systems. Their report had three focus areas:
- Lice, Algae and Jellyfish
- Water Flow, Oxygen and Temperature
- Water Circulation and Current
Four researchers spent time at the closed cage and concluded positively in their report on all areas.

Image: Childhood Leaf
Taking a leaf from childhood's book
Leaves sand to irritate my eyes.
Crayon leaf rubbing
Preserves textures of my childhood smiles.
Musing grown woman reaches back
To pull away the rose coloured glasses.
Salty wind is blowing
Bob Dylan's questions into every grain of memory.
Childhood questions adulthood
Beckons me back to the crunchiness of walking on the leaves.
Adult takes the child by the hand comforting her by saying
You can turn over a new leaf.

The reorganized media company begins Monday with new ownership, the senior creditors and a new board of directors.
The Tribune company sought bankruptcy protection in 2008, less than a year after billionaire developer Sam Zell led an $8 billion leveraged buyout that left the company with $13 billion in debt.
Experts expect the company will break-up portions of its broadcast and print outlets.
The new ownership includes senior creditors Oaktree Capital Management, Angelo, Gordon and Co., and JPMorgan Chase and Co.
Tribune closed on a new, $1.1 billion senior secured term loan and a $300 million revolving credit line. The loan will fund payments required under the reorganization plan, and the credit line will fund ongoing operations.
The company also will issue about 100 million shares of class A and class B stock to former creditors, along with warrants to buy the shares. Class B shareholders will have limited voting rights and will not be able to vote for directors.
The new board of directors includes Bruce Karsh, Ken Liang, Peter Murphy, Ross Levinsohn, Craig A. Jacobson, Peter Liguori, and Eddy Hartenstein.
"Tribune emerges from the bankruptcy process as a multimedia company with a great mix of profitable assets, strong brands in major markets and a much-improved capital structure," said Hartenstein, Tribune's chief executive officer.
The Chicago Tribune reported late Sunday that Liguori, a former TV executive at Discovery and Fox, is expected to be named chief executive of the reorganized Tribune Co.
Tribune, which was founded in 1847, publishes some of the best-known newspapers in the United States, including the Los Angeles Times, The Baltimore Sun and the Chicago Tribune. It also owns WGN in Chicago and 22 other television stations, as well as the WGN radio station.

A Glacier Meltdown – The Himalayas and climate science.
An excellent opinion in the Wall Street Journal. It is absolutely amazing that there are so few media companies that try to get the story straight.
Last November, U.N. climate chief Rajendra Pachauri delivered a blistering rebuke to India's environment minister for casting doubt on the notion that global warming was causing the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers.
"We have a very clear idea of what is happening," the chairman of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) told the Guardian newspaper. "I don't know why the minister is supporting this unsubstantiated research. It is an extremely arrogant statement."

Skip to comments.Brennans Associations, Ignorance, and Lack of Candor Make Him Unfit for CIA Director
Posted on 02/13/2013 11:16:58 AM PST by LSUfan
Amid the Administrations rush to: apologize for and disregard Americas founding principles; financially and militarily support Americas enemies like Hamas and other Muslim Brotherhood entities (read Egypt); embrace noxious regimes like Iran; handle the assassination of the U.S. Ambassador in Benghazi in Carteresque fashion; shrink Americas nuclear capabilities as well as the fighting forces of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps; and host terrorists in the White House while simultaneously allowing known Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood operatives to serve inside DHS, it should be no surprise to readers that President Obama has nominated a John Brennan to be the next Director of Central Intelligence (DCI). Mr. Brennans inability to discern friend from foe, his ignorance of our enemies, and his shadowy behavior make him unfit for government service in any national security capacity, specifically as Director of Central Intelligence.
As the senior advisor to the President of the United States for Counterterrorism, John Brennan has maintained close relationships with Islamic organizations in America which operate on behalf of terrorist organizations. Senior Hamas operatives, such as Nihad Awad of the Hamas entity the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and leaders of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood (See Fear the Muslim Brotherhood by Andrew C. McCarthy) have been given access to senior National Security staffs and provided input to U.S. counterterrorism strategies for the White House at the direction of John Brennan.
Mr. Brennan does not keep his support of the Muslim Brotherhood quiet. He has spoken publicly on numerous occasions at Muslim Brotherhood events in his official government capacity. As a matter of record, he has been a keynote speaker at a number of conferences and functions applauding the efforts of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and its leadership:

Thanks for posting this. It's a scary article!
Also from the article:
Mr. Brennan also appears to be ignorant on basic matters concerning Al Qaeda and their global strategy aimed at bringing down the West. Because Mr. Brennan believes Al Qaeda is our primary enemy, he should be well versed in these matters, especially since he worked as an analyst for the CIA, as the head of the Counter Terrorism Center, and as the Presidents Counterterrorism Czar.

West Wave Dance Festival: Indie companies showcase area's wealth of talent
West Wave Dance Festival has become an institution in the last 23 years it's been around. This year's theme, "Dance Around the Bay," features dance showcases from the East, North and South Bays, in addition to San Francisco that will coalesce to create an extensive panorama of dance in our region.
SAFEhouse for the Performing Arts took over West Wave last year, and it's focused on promoting artists and choreographers from a plethora of disciplines while relieving them of the burdens of self-production. Artistic Director Joe Landini says, "We tried to bring a new approach by focusing on guest curators and promoting new choreography in the showcases … which is not really being done anywhere else right now."
This year's festival offers a jam-packed program. Opening and closing nights include works by local choreographers across San Francisco.
"West Wave is the only independent dance festival for contemporary performance in the Bay Area, so I think having a professional forum for companies that don't have access to resources is important," says Landini.
Tawil, who is curating the East Bay program, has been creating, producing and curating dance from her home base in Oakland for 17 years. She says, "[West Wave] has given me a particularly broad understanding of the work happening these days outside of the more commercial/expensive production houses."
Here are some of the artists to watch out for:
Abby Crain: "Though she is no stranger to the festival stage, I've only experienced her recent work in the frame of studio showings and alternative spaces," says Tawil. Crain's work tends to be site-specific, as she creates dances to be performed in places that range from living rooms to factory buildings. (East Bay, Thursday)
El Elle: "Our headliner is El Elle, the solo project of Lisa Light," says Tawil. Because they typically operate in a "dance party/club" frame, El Elle challenge the notion of what dance on a festival stage should look like. (East Bay, Thursday)
sjDANCEco: The South Bay-based company performs modern dance great Jose Limon's 1958 piece, "Mazurkas," an emsemble master work and tribute to the spirit of the Polish people, with music by Chopin. (South Bay, Saturday)
Maria Basile: Basile performs a master work by Donald McKayle, "Angelitos Negros," a signature solo female piece that premiered in 1972 and is equal parts visual poetry and social justice commentary. (South Bay, Saturday)
Closing Night: The evenings include works by an assortment of artists, including Elizabeth Castaneda, Christy Funsch and Emma Jaster (who offers a pre-show lobby installation). "A lot of these companies are not seen on a large stage very often so it will be interesting to see them stretch their wings a bit," says Landini. (Sunday)

In a victory for the Second Amendment and self defense advocates everywhere, Judge Richard Posner ruled in the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit Tuesday that the Illinois ban on carrying a firearm outside of the home for self-defense purposes is unconstitutional.
"One doesn't have to be a historian to realize that a right to keep and bear arms for personal self-defense in the eighteenth century could not rationally have been limited to the home. . . . Twenty-first century Illinois has no hostile Indians. But a Chicagoan is a good deal more likely to be attacked on a sidewalk than in his apartment on the 35th floor," Posner said.
Illinois resident, trained gun owner and concealed carry permit holder for Utah and Florida Mary Shepard is the lead plaintiff in the case and received funding for the case from the National Rifle Association. The Illinois State Rifle and Pistol Association joined Shepard as a co-plaintiff in the case.
Shepard filed the case after she and an 83-year-old co-worker were violently attacked inside their church by a 245 pound criminal with a long rap sheet back in 2009. Shepard and her co-worker luckily survived, but each had to recover from many severe injuries to their heads, necks and upper bodies. Shepard has undergone many extensive surgeries and attends ongoing physical therapy to recover.
"Today's ruling is a victory for all law abiding citizens in Illinois and gun owners throughout the country," Executive Vice President of the NRA Wayne LaPierre said. "The court recognized that the text and history of the Second Amendment guarantee individuals the right to carry firearms outside the home for self-defense and other lawful purposes. In light of this ruling, Mary Shepard and the people of Illinois will finally be able to exercise their Second Amendment rights."
Until today, Illinois was the only state to have a complete ban on the carry of firearms.

1. The State of Illinois will appeal this.
2. Should the State lose the appeal, or, surprise they don't appeal, they will copy Maryland and make it as onerous as possible to get a handgun permit for just open carry.
3. They will fight like crazy to prevent a CCW law from passing.
4. Whatever the State does, Chicago will make their laws even more restrictive, like Washington D.C. has now.
5. So, expect another year or two before the law abiding citizens of Illinois can own and carry firearms legally.

BOLTON LANDING - About 150 people attended an Open House Nov. 14 celebrating the rebirth of the former Conservation Club building on Edgecomb Pond Rd., a favorite spot for local celebrations.
Complete with Adirondack-style architectural influences, the new building was constructed to replace the deteriorating building which was originally the home to the local Fish & Game Club, which dissolved and donated the structure to the town in the late 1990s.
The afternoon open house drew a crowd to celebrate the spacious, attractive structure that offers stunning views of Edgecomb Pond and surrounding scenery. The building, with a well-equipped kitchen and upscale amenities, is set on 22 acres of property. The new facility, now known as Conservation Park, features a spacious patio with waterside benches - plus a trail along the pond.
Former Bolton Supervisor Kathleen Simmes was a leader in the 10-year effort to reconstruct the building. She said Monday she was very pleased with the outcome, and that local citizens love it - already five parties are planned to occur at the facility over the next several weeks.
"The new Conservation Park building has beautiful architecture - it's spacious and functional - and with its Adirondack theme, it lends itself to its surroundings," she said. "For years, I've thought it's needed in the community." Others who volunteered their time and talent to make the Conservation Park a reality include: Kevin Kershaw, Barry Kincaid, Richard Horsch, Susan Wilson, Jack Robinson, David Greene, Jack Hall, Myrna Oatman and Rich Simmes.
