Hosts clad in Chris, Claire, and Jill costumes greeted visitors at the most dramatic videogame demonstration at the Tokyo Game Show. There were signs warning those weak of heart not to enter due to 'intense experiences'. Scantily clad attendants showed viewers to their seats inside a red-lighted theater. A smoke machine engulfed the room in smoke, through which a live acting 'zombified' cop creeped, and exited at the nearest door.
This segued into Capcom's demo video for Biohazard 2 (Resident Evil 2 for the US). Perhaps the most impressive element of this sequel is the new weaponry. The audience was treated to an array of powerful weaponry, including a machine gun, a flare gun that exploded on contact, and a crossbow that fired twin quarrels at a time. In addition, the old trusty shotgun actually sounds better than ever.
The presentation showed off a host of new goodies for fans of the series. Flaming zombies, a mob of zombie arms grabbing your character through a wall, and the introduction of a gigantic alligator boss all wowed the audience.
As a final note, it was apparent that characters now support head-tracking. For example, when running past a zombie, your character will continue to watch said zombie in the anticipation that it might follow. Likewise, if you've just toasted a zombie with a few flares, your character will continue to keep an eye on the well toasted corpse as you walk past, just in case it should happen to get any ideas about getting back up again.
Unfortunately, Capcom prohibited photography inside the theater.

Children's Health & WellBEING
Sleep and Tiredness
Click here for advice about children's sleep patterns
Does your child have a regular set bedtime and routine?
In a recent survey of our children, a higher percentage than average for the county reported feeling tired when they come into school. Research shows lack of sleep has a serious affect on children's ability to learn. Please use the link above to find out more about how you can help your child get more sleep.
Children's mental health is a growing concern for the whole nation, as children today face different pressures, stresses and risks. If you are concerned about your child's emotional well being or mental health, speak to your GP or your child's class teacher who can refer you to the right local services for support.
At school, we are teaching children how to be "Mindful" through breathing exercises and mediation, to name a few. This is in order to help the children to recognise their emotions and deal with them in a controlled and calm way. Miss Wright (Beech class TA) has books and information she can lend you, if you would like to find out more.
We are also working with Compass Buzz, a local authority service who provide staff training to help pupils deal with social, emotional and mental health concerns.

A Costly Oops, The Face of UMR and Lending a Hand
My life sorta-kinda feels like it's back to boring and I'm happy about that. I could do with an extended period of this.
Facebook got very heavy and contentious last week after the school shooting in Oregon. So much so that it felt like the place to not be. Everywhere I looked there were heated arguments for and against gun control. I have my opinions but I got a strong sense that I wouldn't be changing anybody else's.
The only gun I've ever owned was a Winchester 30-30 Model 94 that I got when I was around 15 years old. I purchased it so I could go deer hunting with my brother-in-law, Jerry. Truth be told, I never wanted to kill a deer. I only wanted to spend time with Jerry.
I used to enjoy shooting it at the gun range the few times we went there. I can still recall the feeling I got pulling the trigger: the sound, the kick and the smell. It was fun and I wouldn't want to deny that enjoyment to others. Nor do I think most reasonable people (including Obama) want to take that away, either. We're only hoping for some reasonable measures to be taken so that there's more accountability for gun sales and background checks. As the argument has been made: there's so much worry about terrorism in this country but it's not terrorism that ails us. See the graphic to the right.
I messed up the rear rim on my Shaman, and this one's gonna hurt. The tires I'm using allow for 36 psi but typically I'm down in the 8-10 psi range. For the St Paul Bike Classic a few weeks ago I inflated them to 30 psi knowing I'd be on pavement the entire way and the higher pressure would give me less rolling resistance. It was shortly after I did this that I noticed what appeared to be a flaw in about a 3 inch area of the outer rim. I took my bike into the shop a few days ago to have it looked at. Shawn asked how much pressure I was running and I told him. He showed me in small letters where it states on the rim not to exceed 15 psi. Oops! Like I said, this one's gonna hurt, to the tune of around $500. And that photo in the last link is zoomed in on the valve stem. I honestly never saw that writing as it's actually quite tiny.
Sarma is out of stock of the rim I need but expects to have them within a couple weeks. Shawn has given me the go-ahead to ride it as is but to keep an eye on it.
Rachel is enjoying her new job working for the University of Minnesota at Rochester as an Admissions Representative. She started a couple weeks ago and just finished her first road trip which took her to St Cloud, Alexandria, Morris, Monticello and some other cities in the area.
She visited high schools that were having college informational fairs and set up her table with assorted UMR info. Her job was to answer questions and promote the university. It took just a short while to find her stride as she got her talking points down and connected with the students. She said she had fun getting to know the other college reps working alongside her. And, she got to use UMR's car!
She'll be on the road quite a lot in the months to come. "Per diem" is now a part of her vocabulary.
I went with Tammy and Elaine on my first volunteering effort since retiring. This will be a weekly thing for me as I tag along and help with the craft project Tammy puts together. (I'll blog in more detail about what she's been up to in a future piece.) Today's project involved helping residents of an assisted living facility make a pumpkin out of materials we provided. It was a lot of fun helping out and chatting with the ladies. We had a few tables of residents to work with totaling close to 15 in all.
Tammy is busy upstairs as I write this working on next week's project. I'm looking forward to it!
I had planned to load my Shaman onto my car last Sunday and drive to the Lyndale Ave trailhead to begin my ride but decided instead to make an afternoon of it and leave my car garaged.
It was a great afternoon to be out riding!

What do you do when you get up one Tuesday and realize you haven't clicked any picture last week for this week's recipe? Simple you make the Oats and Peanut butter balls !!!! ready in just 10 minutes .. easy peasy mac and cheesy.
Yes that's what happened to me this morning , I didn't have a new recipe ready to be posted today. Just then this Idea of making oats and peanut butter bars struck my head….. I had it in my mind for a long time but I guess this was just the time.
Basic oats and peanut butter balls only need oats and peanut butter and a sweetener. When I started looking for ingredients in my pantry that's exactly what I had in my mind. But the experimental me added coconut, condensed milk, and a dash of vanilla and it lifted the flavors.
It is a super simple recipe needs toasting oats and just mixing everything up. Very high in fiber and nutrients and if your kids like it you are going to love me for this one . Please be experimental with these quick Oats and peanut butter balls. You may add choco chips, resins or any dry fruit of your choice or even mix the if you like.
Here I used all natural peanut butter and I love the natural buttery nutty flavor at room temperature. Also I have used sweetened condensed milk for the mild sweetness but don't worry if you don't have a can handy just replace it with honey for a little different flavor.
So lets check out the quick and healthy recipe for these Oats and peanut butter balls.
- Quick cooking oats: 1/2 cup
- Desiccated coconut: 1/4 cup
- All natural Peanut butter- 2-3 heaped tablespoon*
- Condensed milk / honey- 2 tbsp (or to taste)
- Vanilla:1 tsp
- Toast the oats in a pan for 3-4 minutes stirring regularly.
- In a bowl add 2 tbsp peanut butter and all the other ingredients and mix well.
- Taste and see if you need more peanut butter or honey (adjust as per your taste)
- Shape into small balls and serve, these don't need to be refrigerated.
- The quantity of peanut butter used may vary as per the temperature and consistency. Use the peanut butter at room temperature and mix the oil well before measuring teaspoons.
- If you have your peanut butter in fridge take 2 tbsp and microwave 10 sec at a time to achieve workable consistency.

Press Releases
MONTREAL, MAY 10, 2001 Two students from Royal West Academy took top honors at the annual English Montreal School Board (EMSB) Secondary Level Public Speaking Contest. The event was held on May 10 at the Montreal headquarters of CBC on René-Levesque Boulevard West.
Students spoke for about three minutes each. They were judged by grade level. The Womens Club of Montreal presented the winner of the Secondary IV level, Royal Wests Akil Alleyne, with a scholarship to Encounters with Canada, a seven-day seminar held at the Terry Fox Canadian Youth Centre in Ottawa which explores the countrys governmental, judicial and cultural institutions. Alleynes presentation dealt with Canadian nationhood. Natasha Reid of Wagar High School in Côte Saint-Luc and Alexandra Cabelli of Westmount High School finished second and third respectively, talking about human rights and the rain forest.
Meanwhile, the first and second place EMSB finishers at the Secondary V level will qualify for the Rotary Club of Montreal final on May 15 at the Best Western Hotel on Peel Street, which will also feature students from representative boards across the province. Royal Wests Aditya Ahlawat ranked first for his presentation about cloning. Reetash Patel from Wagar was second, focusing on media influence while Yael Wittes of Westmount High was third and addressed the topic of euthanasia.
Nancy Wood, host of CBC Radio Noon, served as the moderator. She taped the presentations and intends to air portions of them on her show.

Shoot baskets, not hoops fans.
Police in Philadelphia allege Maurice Tavares, 26, transformed a shouting match with bleacher creatures into a one-sided shooting match on Saturday. Police have issued a warrant for Tavares, who allegedly fired in the direction of the opposing coach after arguing with a spectator.
"It's a sad situation," Lieutenant John Walker told CBS Philly. "You've got 70 kids in there, and it's a positive thing for the community going on. Obviously, these adults who are looked at as the coaches and people that these young kids are looking up to who clearly couldn't resolve conflict in the right way and used a gun to settle this."
Pete Maurice coached a team of 14- to 16-year-olds. His five led but their opponents mounted a comeback, which, coupled with the heckling, may have led to the frustration that manifested itself in firing a weapon in a gym full of kids. He also allegedly told a fan to "shut up," which is not very nice, not very nice at all.
Remember, coaches: when someone in the peanut gallery yells "shoot," they speak of basketballs and not bullets.

Pieces of Life: The End of Time Edition
Hey there!
How's Friday coming along for everyone? Hopefully well! I have reviews pre-scheduled for you shortly so those should be arriving soon.
This happens to be a post of the non-makeup variety.
Jump or not (entirely up to you).
If you've been with me as far back as when I started my little blog you probably know all about my unhealthy obsession with all things Doctor Who. I've a fan girl since I was a kid so you can imagine how crazy silly I am in regards to all things relating to the good Doctor.
If you're a fan check out DanielFrow's Channel on youTube as a friend and reader pointed out the David Tennant hosted Buzzcocks eppy has been uploaded. I just finished watching about two seconds ago….I got an e-mail from PJ from A Touch of Blusher yesterday and PJ mentioned it was a good episode, I must say it was very enjoyable if anything at all Noel always makes things interesting on Buzzcocks but Bernard Cribbins simply stole the show he was darling.
This is a friendly reminder from your neighborhood geek….
The Waters of Mars premieres on Saturday! This is television history peeps! It's the first time ever that we get the Doctor for Christmas.
The schedule is as follows:
The Water of Mars Premieres Saturday Night and follows up with The End of Time Part 1 on Boxing Day and Part 2 on January 2nd.
Tomorrow night will set the scene for what's to come so it will be a landmark episode in time. As you know, if you're a geek and love all the wibley wobley, timey wimey stuff, many rumors are afoot of what will happen and what will be. My personal favorite can be found on youTube.
Anyway….tears will flow! Have your tissues ready! Heck the last time I sobbed this hard Tom Baker regenerated into Peter Davidson. I think the first time I seen the Logopolis episode I was about 10 years old….
And on that note I'll leave you. Feel free to blather yourself silly over the Doctor in the comment box.
I'm recording all three episodes and having a Who themed New Year party this year where my friends and I will be watching all three episodes so try to keep the spoilers to a minimum
Ok, 'nuff geek stuff, makeup reviews coming at you in a few!

text: Hello- This is not a thread about the anti-piracy loop bug. My question is about later in the game, specifically at the Arris Dome in 2300 AD. There is a switch there that you need to hold L and R at the same time and then press A. This used to be a problem in the old SNES ROM as well, but I remember the fix was that you set the L and R buttons to the same key (Z for example) and then press A and it works. Seeing as pressing L and R, then A didn't work here, I tried the old trick and it still doesn't seem to work. I even tried setting them all to the same key and pressing it but that doesn't work either. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution for it? Thank you, ~TCassat

Don't wait until temperatures drop to consider your furnace installation options. Once winter sets in, and demand for installation skyrockets, you'll be glad you stayed ahead of the rush.
What's the cost of keeping your home toasty throughout the cold season? Consider the following information to hone in on an expected price.
HVAC System Cost
Fixr reports that the national average cost of furnace installation in a 2,000-square-foot home ranges from $3,000 to $5,000. HomeAdvisor offers a more precise figure of $4,180.
It's best to break things down by furnace type. You have several options, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
· Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces are often relied on in sections of the country that experience mild winters, such as in Southern states. They are efficient and often cleaner than other options, but they can be expensive to operate due to their power source.
The average cost of installation for an electric furnace is around $2,000 to $4,000. This is for a living space of 2,000 square feet.
· Oil Furnaces
Oil furnaces are a little outdated in comparison to other options. However, some homeowners still prefer them, especially in areas where oil is a cheap fuel source. Installation usually falls into the range of $3,000 to $5,000.
· Natural Gas Furnaces
Natural gas furnaces are not only highly efficient, they're also the most commonly installed option. While they offer quick and convenient heating, you'll need to be connected to a gas line to avail of this type of furnace. Expect to pay $5,000 to $7,000 for a gas furnace if you live in a 2,000-square-foot home.
· Propane Furnaces
Propane is another highly efficient option in terms of furnace fuel; in fact, it's more energy efficient than natural gas. A propane furnace for 2,000-square-foot home will cost $3,000 to $5,000. Also note that a gas furnace can be converted to use propane.
Trane Furnace: Blower Motor Options
Whether you're looking for heating or cooling options, Trane is known for reliability. When choosing a Trane furnace, you have your choice of systems featuring single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed blower motors.
Single-stage blower motors are often the cheapest option, but they only operate at one speed. While newer single-stage blower motors on the market might offer some features to increase energy efficiency, they are still the least efficient of your options.
Trane furnaces with two-stage blower motors offer a middle ground in terms of cost and efficiency. They're typically less expensive than variable-speed options, but, thanks to their ability to operate on a lower power setting, they are more energy efficient than single-stage blowers, which only operate on full blast.
Variable-speed blower motors are typically the most expensive type. They come loaded with smart technology that constantly monitors the temperature in your living space and makes slight adjustments to maintain your heating preferences.

A father and daughter are celebrating a milestone, a kidney transplant 50 years ago that changed the course of medicine.
Ted Lombard gave his then-13-year-old daughter Denice a kidney to save her life.
Denice and twin sister Diane were born with a genetic defect which causes kidney failure.
After Diane died at age 7, doctors wouldn't put Denice on dialysis, saying it was too new and risky.
Her mother convinced UCLA Medical Center to do a living-donor transplant. It was experimental at the time.
"I lost one daughter and I just didn't want to lose another," said Ted.
Now, transplants - including those from living donors - are being done every day.
But the Lombards want everyone to consider becoming a living donor.
There are 100,000 people on the waiting list now and a new name is added every 14 minutes.
The Lombards are believed to be the oldest living donor pair in the United States.

Very interesting start to the season with the defunct Honda team (now Brawn GP) coming out of no where to win pole position, and finish 1st and 2nd in the Australian GP.
Also, the new aero restrictions have stripped much of the aero bits off the cars which allows the cars to run closer together, creating more passing opportunities.
Another interesting twist to this season are the new KERS rules which allow KERS-equipped cars to get an 80 BHP boost for 6 seconds a lap.
McLaren and Ferrari appear to be playing catchup to Brawn, Toyota and Williams. This may be partly because the 2008 McLaren and Ferrari battle wasn't settled until the last corner of the last race of the season last year (with Lewis Hamilton beating Felipe Massa for the driver's championship by 1 pt). Ferrari and McLaren were so focused on developing the 2008 chassis throughout last season, while the other teams seemed to focus more on the development of the 2009 chassis.
The start of each season showcases F1 engineering talent. Each year's chassis must be designed and built from scratch. Also, they are basically running the same spec engines this year as last year, except they are now rev-limited at 18,000 rpms (last year it was 19,000 rpms) and the new aero restrictions are designed to greatly reduce aerodynamic downforce. Nevertheless, the drivers are already putting up faster lap times than last year.

During his speech to the VFW convention today, President Obama called for the release of U.S. citizens wrongfully imprisoned in Iran, but botched the last name of Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian.
"We are not going to relent until we bring home our Americans who are unjustly detained in Iran," Obama said, naming Rezaian, former Marine Amir Hekmati, and Pastor Saeed Abedini. Obama also requested Iran to help them find Robert Levinson – who disappeared in Iran.
Obama, who was using a Teleprompter during his speech, rarely flubs pronunciations and takes pride in using the proper dialect of foreign names and words such as Taliban and Pakistan.

An incredible statistic has been discussed in many a newspaper and alehouse during this past few weeks. Following the departures of Alex Ferguson, Tony Pulis, David Moyes and Roberto Martinez from their respective clubs, the second longest serving manager in the Premier League is now Alan Pardew at Newcastle. Pardew has been in charge at St James' for only two and a half years, with Arsene Wenger now the only top flight boss who can genuinely be referred to as long-serving. Brendan Rodgers is 5th in the list.
The implication of course, is that managers come and go more frequently than ever in England. The reasons for this are many. There is a greater pressure than ever for chairmen to keep their clubs in the top flight, and to deliver results (and profit) quickly. In addition to this, the increased number of foreign and disconnected owners has led to a view of managers as disposable assets, rather than human beings who deserve a fair shot, and who might need a few years to turn things around. A reflection of the realities of capitalism, perhaps. However, an additional if less influential factor contributing to the common brevity of managerial reigns, may be an increased impatience amongst fans, caused arguably by the proliferation of social media. More than ever it seems, an opinion can be quickly expressed, shared, agreed with and developed, and within minutes an entire movement has been born. The problem is that it is much more difficult to explore an idea through an Internet conversation, than it is in 'real life' interactions. Whatsmore, it is very easy to misconstrue an online comment, and often the most innocent of posts quickly polarises opinion, and before long everyone has become too defensive to really remember the original point being made.
With all this in mind, I am a little concerned that Roberto Martinez may not be given a fair crack of the whip at Everton, by the fans. In our case, it seems unlikely that our chairman will prematurely give Martinez the boot, given his theatrical press conference during which he desperately hailed Martinez as the messiah. However, perhaps as a result of social media, a long spell without a trophy and frustration at the emergence of a financially untouchable elite, many fans have a tendency to react in a volatile fashion, when results don't go our way. To be fair, there is a knee-jerk element at every club. I just hope that ours doesn't kick off to such a degree when the going gets tough for Martinez (which it certainly will, sooner or later), that he starts to crack under the pressure, and we enter a vicious cycle which can only end with club and manager going their separate ways. It has happened in football before, and it will happen again.
Looking back at the impact made by our most successful managers in their first seasons, they have each hit the ground running. Kendall, Catterick and Moyes - probably our three highest performing managers - each improved matters, in terms of league position, in their first full campaign.
Kendall's debut was the first game of the 1981-82 season. In the previous season Gordon Lee's team finished in 15th position, before Lee was sacked in the summer by Philip Carter. Kendall's first season saw a big improvement, leading Everton to an 8th place finish. The following two seasons we finished in 7th, before of course going on to win the title in 1984-85. Kendall clearly got it right from the off, a brilliant manager, admittedly in a time when forcing your way to the top of the table was far more feasible.
The man with the second highest win rate at Everton, behind Kendall, is Harry Catterick. Catterick took over for the last two games of the 1960-61 season, with the team ultimately finishing in 5th place. In his first full campaign he led the team to 4th place, and the following season we won the league. Like Kendall, Catterick wasted little time in improving our results and even led us to silverware within two seasons.
David Moyes has only the fourth highest win rate of Everton gaffers, marginally behind Colin Harvey. However given the length of time Moyes was in charge, and the difficult circumstances under which he worked, few could argue that he is our third most successful manager of all time. When Moyes took over from Walter Smith in March 2002, Everton were in 15th, a position in which we eventually finished that season. The following year Moyes guided us to a 7th place finish, an improvement to even better Kendall's first season, although the season after of course we finished only one place above the relegation zone. Despite this calamity, the board kept faith in Moyes, and by this summer we had of course established ourselves as a top six side.
Where Martinez's situation differs from that of Kendall, Catterick and Moyes, is that currently there seems to be little room for improvement at Everton. Both Kendall and Moyes took over with the team languishing in the bottom half of the table, and although Catterick inherited a team flying relatively high, at that time the league was not dominated by a handful of big spending heavy hitters, as is unfortunately the case now.
Harvey's situation was in some ways similar to that faced by Martinez. Appointed in the summer of 1987, he had a lot to live up to, following the departure of a man - in this case Kendall - who was revered, but who wanted to try his hand elsewhere, if for different reasons. Another similarity was that Harvey could barely improve upon his predecessor's performance. For Martinez to improve on Moyes' record, he would probably have to establish us as a champions league side, which is a massive ask until our financial predicament is resolved, or at the very least win a trophy. Whatever happens next season, I just hope that the fans acknowledge that this is his first season and sometimes it does take time for a new manager to settle in, time which would be lost were we to lose Martinez and have to start over with someone new at the helm. Personally I would be delighted with another 6th place finish, and over the moon at anything better. Over to you, Roberto.
Monsieur Bleu.

As part of our funding from The Big Lottery we will be providing intensive social skills classes for children on the autism spectrum. Your child does not need to have an autism spectrum diagnosis.
These are small group sessions runs over 8 weeks on a Saturday morning or early evening during the week.
Early intervention and improving how our kids communicate is incredibly important.
If you would like your child to receive this essential learning please register their name below. An email will be sent to you from Carey (firstname.lastname@example.com) confirming when a place is being offered to your child. Any confirmations from Eventbrite do not mean that a place is available thank you.
If you are not already a member of ChAPS you will also need to email Carey on firstname.lastname@example.com confirming your name and the name and age of your child thank you.
Registration does not confirm a place - we need to ensure that similar aged and ability children are in the same group.
You do still need to register if you are interested, and we will alternate this course running in Runcorn, Northwich, Chester and Ellesmere Port - if you don't register though, we won't know there is a need for it in your area. Many thanks Jo ChAPS.

Document Details
Published Document
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Investor Start Printed Page 27581Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 20549-0213.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below.
Section 17(d) (15 U.S.C. 80a-17(d)) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a et seq.) (the "Act") prohibits first and second-tier affiliates of a fund, the fund's principal underwriters, and affiliated persons of the fund's principal underwriters, acting as principal, to effect any transaction in which the fund or a company controlled by the fund is a joint or a joint and several participant in contravention of the Commission's rules. Rule 17d-1 (17 CFR 270.17d-1) prohibits an affiliated person of or principal underwriter for any fund (a "first-tier affiliate"), or any affiliated person of such person or underwriter (a "second-tier affiliate"), acting as principal, from participating in or effecting any transaction in connection with a joint enterprise or other joint arrangement in which the fund is a participant, unless prior to entering into the enterprise or arrangement "an application regarding (the transaction) has been filed with the Commission and has been granted by an order." In reviewing the proposed affiliated transaction, the rule provides that the Commission will consider whether the proposal is (i) consistent with the provisions, policies, and purposes of the Act, and (ii) on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of other participants in determining whether to grant an exemptive application for a proposed joint enterprise, joint arrangement, or profit-sharing plan.
Rule 17d-1 also contains a number of exceptions to the requirement that a fund must obtain Commission approval prior to entering into joint transactions or arrangements with affiliates. For example, funds do not have to obtain Commission approval for certain employee compensation plans, certain tax-deferred employee benefit plans, certain transactions involving small business investment companies, the receipt of securities or cash by certain affiliates pursuant to a plan of reorganization, and arrangements regarding liability insurance policies. The Commission amended rule 17d-1 most recently in 2003 to expand the current exemptions from the Commission approval process to permit funds to engage in transactions with "portfolio affiliates"—companies that are affiliated with the fund solely as a result of the fund (or an affiliated fund) controlling them or owning more than five percent of their voting securities. This amendment was designed to permit funds' transactions with portfolio affiliates without seeking Commission approval, as long as certain other affiliated persons of the fund (e.g., the fund's adviser, persons controlling the fund, and persons under common control with the fund) ("prohibited participants") are not parties to the transaction and do not have a "financial interest" in a party to the transaction. The rule excludes from the definition of "financial interest" any interest that the fund's board of directors (including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the fund) finds to be not material, as long as the board records the basis for its finding in their meeting minutes.
Thus, the rule contains two filing and recordkeeping requirements that constitute collections of information. First, rule 17d-1 requires funds that wish to engage in a joint transaction or arrangement with affiliates to meet the procedural requirements for obtaining exemptive relief from the rule's prohibition on joint transactions or arrangements involving first-or second-tier affiliates. Second, rule 17d-1 permits a portfolio affiliate to enter into a joint transaction or arrangement with the fund if a prohibited participant has a financial interest that the fund's board determines is not material and records the basis for this finding in their meeting minutes. These requirements of rule 17d-1 are designed to prevent fund insiders from managing funds for their own benefit, rather than for the benefit of the funds' shareholders.
Based on an analysis of past filings, Commission staff estimates that 4 funds file applications under section 17(d) and rule 17d-1 per year. Based on a limited survey of persons in the mutual fund industry, the Commission staff estimates that each applicant will spend an average of 154 hours to comply with the Commission's applications process. The Commission staff therefore estimates the annual burden hours per year for all funds under rule 17d-1's application process to be 616 hours.
Based on analysis of past filings, the Commission's staff estimates that 148 funds are affiliated persons of 668 issuers as a result of the fund's ownership or control of the issuer's voting securities, and that there are approximately 1,000 such affiliate relationships. Staff discussions with mutual fund representatives have suggested that no funds are currently relying on rule 17d-1 exemptions. We do not know definitively the reasons for this transactional behavior, but differing market conditions from year to year may offer some explanation for the current lack of fund interest in the exemptions under rule 17d-1. Accordingly, we estimate that annually there will be no joint transactions under rule 17d-1 that will result in a collection of information. The Commission, therefore, requests authorization to maintain an inventory of total burden hours per year for all funds under rule 17d-1 of 616 hours.
The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules. Complying with these collections of information requirement is necessary to obtain the benefit of relying on rule 17d-1. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.
Please direct general comments regarding the above information to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: email@example.com. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.Start Signature
Dated: May 5, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.

Separation of powers is the basic concept that is the foundation of the Constitution. The framers gave equal powers to the three branches in order to balance power.
This balancing act makes it difficult, messy and hard to govern, but that was the intent. It requires compromise by all.
If the president doesn't like laws passed by Congress, he can veto them. If the president doesn't get legislation he wants out of Congress, that means he was not persuasive enough or he did not compromise enough.
The Constitution does not have a modifier to allow the president to execute only the laws he likes and to not faithfully execute the laws he doesn't like.

The First Trailer For THE WHEELMAN Speeds Onto The Internet
Sound the Frank Grillo Alarm, Fantastic Fest.
Note: a version of this post previously ran at Birth.Movies.Death.
This morning, we unveiled the second wave of programming for Fantastic Fest 2017, and - as you surely noticed - this year's lineup is absolutely killer.
We're excited about every last title that'll be screening this year, but one in particular has BMD's resident action enthusiasts particularly excited: Jeremy Rush's THE WHEELMAN, starring the incomparable Frank Grillo.
You hear "Frank Grillo's headlining a movie called THE WHEELMAN" and you pretty much know what you're in for, but the film's first trailer - which just dropped via the good folks at Netflix - has us super stoked.
Let's take a look:
OK, so, not much to go on here, sure, but given the variables involved (Grillo headlining, Joe Carnahan producing), we can't help but be excited. Here's an official plot synopsis, in case that's your thing.
"Frank Grillo (KINGDOM, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR) stars as the wheelman, a getaway driver thrust into a high stakes race-to-survive after a bank robbery goes terribly wrong. With a car full of money and his family on the line, the clock is ticking to figure out who double-crossed him and the only person he can trust ... his thirteen-year-old daughter. All reasons to think fast and drive faster."
Jeremy Rush's THE WHEELMAN will hold its world premiere at Fantastic Fest in a few weeks, before landing on Netflix on October 20th. Y'all hyped or what?

Welcome to our new website. Links to our newsletters will be posted here. If you would like to receive Small Steps Foundation newsletters directly to your inbox click here
Unfortunately our old website is no longer avaliable. To find links to old news please visit our Facebook page.
|Maria, new to our SEN staff team.
This is Maria. We didn't employ her because she has a masters in special needs education or comes with a blinding resume filled with relevant training courses and a steep progression of promotions. No, we employed Maria because he is a single mother of a child with cerebral palsy who has battled against the odds to bring up her son. And in our eyes, that (along with her teaching qualification) makes her the perfect candidate for Small Steps Foundation.
|This handsome guy is Aslam, Maria's son.
Maria is not sure of the origin of Aslam's CP. All she knows is that as he grew and it became clear that he had a disability, her husband grew unhappy. "He has many wives," she told me. "He said 'None of my other wives produce children like this. This is your fault! You go away with your child!'"
I asked her if she was sad when this happened. She laughed and said, "At first I cried but then I realised he wasn't a good man and I'm better off alone."
Maria went back to her mother's home with Aslam and his older sister. Her mother is elderly, she told me, so other than a roof over their heads could offer no other assistance.
|Maria's love for Aslam is clear and prevailing
"I went from place to place looking for a job. I am a teacher so I thought it wouldn't be too hard. But everywhere the told me they can't accept me to come with Aslam and I didn't want to leave him somewhere so I couldn't work.
|Maria helped Sosi with his writing in the SEN class
"The neighbours told me 'You leave that child somewhere and get on with your life' others told me I was wasting my time on him and I should abandon him. But he is my child and if I can't care for him, who will? So I suffered like that. Some people we're friends to me, others refused me as a friend because they thought I was cursed."
It wasn't until last year, when Mary, Buwenda Women in Action chairperson, SSF community liaison and mother/grandmother extraordinaire, was visiting her husband's family in the village and met Maria that things started looking up.
Mary invited Maria to visit us a Glory Be Nursery so that Aslam could undergo assessment and referral. On realising that Maria was a qualified teacher and that we were looking to expand our SEN staff team, headteacher Immaculate did no hesitate in interviewing and subsequently employing Maria and offering a place to Aslam in the SEN class.
"I am so happy now," smiles Maria. "I am working and my boy is learning. He is learning new words and how to help himself." She says she has no regrets leaving her village and joining us and at least feels safe and accepted.
|Aslam works on his prewriting skills while in the standing frame
Maria has the patience, adaptability and most of all the love for children with disability which is the cornerstone of SSF's work. We feel so privileged to have the opportunity to work with such and strong, resilient and caring women.
|Maria supporting the children to measure during a baking class
Aslam is now attending regular physiotherapy session in addition to his nursery education. He is at the upper age limit of our services but we hope to provide him with a sound basis for his continuing education and a smooth transition into primary education. With her wages, Maria will be able to afford to send Aslam to a special needs primary school.
Maria told me she was more than happy to share her story with anyone, anywhere in the world, who cared to listen.
|Gloria with her single mum.
|Linda with her doting grandmother
|All four of Maama Nam's children have learning difficulties.
Does that make her life hard? Yes.
Would she give up Nam or any of her siblings? No.
|Maama Derrick tailors the Glory Be school uniforms, using the money to
contribure to Dericks' SEN boarding school fees.
|Sadi lives with his grandparents and eighteen cousins.
He co-sleeps with his grandma who run's her busy household around Sadi's additional needs.
|Sakira and her Grandmother adore each other.
*One of these children does now live in a residential care home as her foster-grandmothers health deteriored with age and she was unable to physically care for her any longer. No family members could be traced. The home that was chosen for her follows a family style model of care.
I've been thinking a lot about sustainability lately. I've been involved in a few conversations about it. I would call them debates except, given that I *usually* surround myself with rational people, we usually agree: sustainable, good; non sustainable, try a bit harder.
It got me to thinking about the sustainability of our own project. Sustainability is a complex issues. It's not as simple as making something financially sustainable; self-funding and therefore lasting. Of course, this is one of our aims. One that we are moving, slowly, towards. I'm currently working on funding proposals for grants which will provide Glory Be Nursery with income generating agricultural projects. This will have to be a on large scale otherwise we simple wont make enough funds to make it worth while.
|This is our cow, Rachael. She provides milk for the kids in their porridge.
At present the school fees are subsidised to make a quality education accessible to all the families in the village. The easiest way to make the school sustainable would be to raise the school fees. However, we would need to at least quadruple the school fees in order to cover all the cost associated with running the nursery. This would be impossible unless we worked with all of our 150 odd families to increase their own capacity (and consequently income) so that they be able to pay these new fees.This would be ideal, this would be wonderful.
|Our uniforms are tailored by Maama Derick (not pictured) which provides employment for one of our parents of a child with learning difficulties.
Capacity building through vocational training and micro-finance is one of the aims of Buwenda Women in Action, our community based partner organization. At present BWA have a goat rearing program whereby goats are bread and passed on to the next member with the aim that each member will soon have their own goat. It's small but it's a start. BWA have numerous income generation plans for individuals or collectives, the current issue being funding and start up capital. However, this aside, it would be simplistic to think that every family would be able or indeed willing to engage in these programs let alone that the kind of income generated would be enough to make it possible to pay four times the current nursery fees (plus uniform, plus porridge etc etc) as well as supporting their other children's education.

Instead, we're looking at the wider picture of sustainability. Education, in itself is sustainable. It's goals are longer term, of course. It will take 20 years, but *hopefully* little Gift who enrolled in Baby Class this year will have been afforded a quality education, and more than that, a positive attitude toward education, that means she will be both financially stable enough and motivated to pay her for own children's quality education…and health care….and all the other associated cost of bringing up a healthy, happy child. And perhaps she will be doctor, or an engineer, or a (honest!!) politician…
|I just love this photo.
This is why we concentrate on early years education. We feel strongly that by giving children a foundation of core skills and values they are far more likely to succeed in education. Of course, the very fact that children who have attended nursery will know their alphabet, numbers and have mastered basic pencil skills before they reach their Primary 1 class of 120 pupils is a huge advantage. But not only that, by learning from the youngest of age that education is fun and valuable they will go on to have a positive relationship with education in the future.
So, how do children with disability fit into this model? I often feel that this is our biggest obstacle; convincing the skeptical that educating children with learning difficulties is worthwhile and even sustainable. Here's how it works:
1. By providing a safe, nurturing environment for children with learning disability, we are providing their carer respite. Many of our guardians would be unable to get on even the most simple of daily tasks whilst taking full time care of the child. Constant supervision to ward of dangers, additional toileting needs, feeding issues can get in the way of basic cooking, cleaning and washing, let alone digging or formal employment.
Where employment is an option, many of our guardians have been unable to take this on as they cannot find appropriate childcare.
Similarly, some of our children have been cared for by their older siblings or cousins to the extent that they are kept home from educational opportunities. This, obviously, is not sustainable.
|Christine (left) helps to look after her auntie (!) Peace (right) when they're not at nursery so that their grandparents can work.
Even four hours a day (some of children with special needs stay for up to 8 hours daily), can give carers enough time to run the house hold, access work and/or education and even just to recoop. This is helping to support a family to be hold itself together and sustain itself.
|All four of Maama Nam's children have learning difficulties. We have supported three of her children over the past three years so that she can get some time to carry out day to day activities.
2. We provide children with learning disability skills that can help them be more independent and even help out at home. Self-care skills (not least, independent toileting!), life skills (e.g. washing up, sweeping etc), a sense of personal identity, independence, personal safety and so on. By increasing a child's skills base, we are freeing their carers up to participate in other meaningful activities.
3. We work with children with developmental delay (usually from infantile sickness but sometimes from neglect or malnourishment). These children are sometimes discounted educationally and left at home by parents, community or teachers. In fact, many children in this situation do not have a pervasive disability. With our support, these children can often catch up their milestones and move on to mainstream education and never look back.
|Nasabu was sick for a long period of time as a toddler and her milestones were delayed so her parents decided not to send her to school until she they heard about the SSF SEN class when she 6 years old. Nasabu is now coming top of the mainstream Top Class as ready to go to primary school next year!
4. Despite some people's beliefs, people with learning difficulties can go on to have jobs, families and a wonderful existence. I have hopes and dreams for all of the kids we support. I can envisage Sakira working in a restaurant in town, and I can see Sadi as a sought after technician fixing every bust radio and mobile in Jinja District….These children may go on to be adults who can support and sustain themselves. (Okay this might not be realistic for all our kids, but we should be working towards it!)
If we give up on these kids before they are even primary age they will not have the support and education they need to enter employment and will continue to be added pressure on their families or, in the worst case scenario, they may be abandoned.
|Sadi is considering a career as a hair stylist
|Nam would like to be a nurse when she grows up. An operating theater nurse. Who assists with screwdrivers.
5. By focusing on inclusion from an early age we are challenging society's stigma relating to learning difficulties. Children are not born to marginalize and I am constantly delighted by how well the children with special needs are accepted at Glory Be Nursery. I am confident that these kids will grow up to be accepted within their community. They will not be refused jobs on the basis of their disability but given chances on the basis of what they have achieved. With a peer support network their additional needs will hopefully be catered for and their vulnerability reduced.

So there you have it. My case for why educating children with learning disability is, in itself sustainable at least to some degree. Yes, we have some work to do to make our current projects self-sustaining, and we have a long road ahead to ensure each individual child we work with can participate in the sustainability of their own future but I like to think we're on the right path.
|Mary with SEN Class pupil, Sakira
However, days crept into weeks, and Mary's daughter did not pass away. And though she remained weak and unresponsive hope returned. After sometime Mary was advised that she was out danger but that she would be left with permanent physical and learning disabilities.
|Mary encourages Winnie to walk during an outreach session.
One day, many months later, as Mary was administering some medicine to her child, she told her to open her mouth up wide. And for the first time since her sickness she followed an instruction. Bewildered and overjoyed Mary called to her other children to witness. They all laughed at their mother telling her she was imaging it until lo and behold she did it again for them. "Lift up your arms!" they told her and she did.

|Mary spent hours counselling Norman's mother to cope with his special needs.
When we first came to work with Mary, we did not know this story. But we were impressed from the first by her commitment, modern attitude and never-ending faith in the children and families we work with. Mary has come to be the cornerstone of our community work and is an example to mothers the world over who face the sometimes overwhelming weight of supporting a child with additional needs.
When I said I was going to write a blog about "dust" people laughed. But I'm doing it anyway!
|Dust hangs off banana trees along the Budondo Road
People underestimate the effect dust has on lives! They think of it as an inconvenience, which of course it is. During dry season you cannot go along for even 5 minutes along a dirt road without your entire body being covered in a thick film of orange. Boda drivers wear their jackets backwards and wrap scarves around their faces to protect their clothing and faces but you'll usually fine they still end up with bright orange eyelashes.
|Boda driver, Sam, in his "dust proof" outfit!
|My foot, thoroughly dusted!
But I have a more intense objection to dust. It's dangerous!
Firstly, think about the consequences of a five year old walking 5 km to school everyday along this road breathing this in. Numerous kids in Buwenda have health complications due to dust, mainly respiratory: persistent coughs, chest and sinus infections and of course continually runny noses.
|The roadside along which the children walk to nursery. Hundred's more walk kilometres to school everyday!
The dust blinds you when a truck or a car speeds past, temporarily of course. But actually, the bacteria contained within the dust can cause both simple and complicated eye infections as well as irritation. And not to mention the danger of a boda driver missing a potential hazard – perhaps a child – has he struggles to keep the dust out of his eyes!
One effect of dust that I had not ever considered before living in Uganda is this: during dry season water is scarce. Most people who live in Buwenda collect water from boreholes, the river and if they can scrape together enough pennies, they buy it from a local tap. To ease this burden collecting rainwater in tanks or even simply basins as it rolls of the corrugated iron roofs is commonplace. In dry season, when the rains come as infrequently as once every six weeks, one would wait with great anticipation to catch it! But alas, the roof is coated with dust! And the only water you can catch is thick and dirty and completely unusable.
Okay, so that is pretty much all I've got to say on the subject of dust. But I still think it's worth thinking about!
WARNING: This is long and it is ranty.
As you may have seen from my facebook updates, 7 year old Rachel is in dire need of support for her nutrition. Once a healthy chubby baby (albeit, with cerebral palsy), Rachel has been gradually wasting away ever since the age of 4 when she became acutely ill and stopped eating. Weighing only 10kg (1.5 stone!!) Rachel is now literally nothing but skin and bones leaving her vulnerable to all kinds of infection.
|Rachel has almost no body fat or muscle. Sorry her face is missing, I didn't take the photo!
After a long consultation with the physio last week we decided on a course of action. Rachel needed to go to Mulago, the Uganda's flagship government hospital in Kampala. We organised a referral to the ENT (ear nose and throat) department and transport provided by the wonderful TUSC Uganda and off we went.
We left Jinja around 6 am with a car full of children needing medical input in Kampala. We reached the Mulago by 8.30am and after navigating its maze like corridors found the ENT before 9am. I was initially pleased: although the doctor had not yet arrived, the nurses were friendly and I could see we were only 25th on the list.
|Mulago Hospital, Kampala
Furthermore we were then organised into groups and we ended up being only the 7th people to be seen by the consultant! My relief came too soon. From the look on the doctors face when we entered I realised this was not going to be an easy appointment. She started by scolding Rachel's mother for allowing to stand beside her and not sit on her lap. "You are not the patient so I do not want to look at you! Put the child on your lap!" Poor, confused little Rachel, who has rarely left the village before, was totally confused and disorientated and did not want to sit on her mother's lap, preferring to stand beside her. And so she started to cry and struggle.
The doctor laughed derisively at the mother's lack of English or Luganda and reluctantly took a brief history in Kiswahili before turned to me and barking "Why on earth did you think ENT was the correct place to bring her?!"
2 referrals? A wealth of advice? The fact the child can't swallow? None of these suffice. At my insistence she briefly shone a torch down Rachel's throat, laughed and us sent packing to the Acute Care Unit, but not before a HIV test was demanded, then refused, then redirected to another ward then refused again….
Sometime later, we arrived on the very far side of Mulago at the ACU. My initial impressions were grim. Although the walls were adorned with brightly coloured cartoons the somehow all looked grotesque. Playing mice looked more as if they were clawing each other with sharpened talons, malnourished with black sunken eyes; Winnie the Pooh had hydrocephalus; the road runner's cousin had his neck twisted almost entirely off.
Everywhere floppy limbed babies with eyes rolling back in their heads lolled in their parents arms. A mother lay on the floor wailing for her dying child, no one paid attention, but simply stepped over her.
Refreshingly, the doctors on ACU were intelligent, articulate and helpful. They gladly found a Swahili speaking doctor who took a thorough history and made a comprehensive plan of action. Rachel was to be admitted immediately, rehydrated, fed through and naso-gastric tube and embark on a long course of rehabilitation, which of course would involve ENT. The doctor even reassured us that since this was a low income family they would provide all the mothers meals, and find clothes and sheets for Rachel since they were not expecting to be admitted today (in Uganda you are usually expected to provide everything in hospitals from bed linen to cotton wool to washing soap to medical supplies).
|Rachel at home in Kakira
The only thing she needed, I was told was the naso-gastric tubes. But don't worry you can get them just outside the gate.
Off I trotted, leaving Rachel and her mum waiting on a bench to be admitted. I hadn't really realised that by this point it was 1pm and I had eat and drunken nothing all day. I reach "just outside the gate" and was directly "just down the hill" then "just to that red roofed building" then "no, this is not a pharmacy there are no pharmacies around here you need to go to Wandageya!" On seeing tears prick in my eyes, they directed me down another hill through a washing bay and over a roundabout…"No, not here, you'll need to go to Wandegeya!"
Long story short I drove around 8 pharmacies in Wandegeya on a boda-boda before finally striking gold. Rushing back to the ward more than an hour later I found the patients still sitting there. The nurses ignored us. So I asked another one.
"Go in that room."
"Why are you in here? Go to the ward!"
"Who told you to come here, go back and wait!"
Oh and not to mention "Well who's going to pay the 2000 for the toilet paper and carrier bag she has to buy to me admitted??"
Finally I found an endearing older nurse, explained Rachel's history again (as her file was by now AWOL), and explained Maama Rachel's language problems and lack of experience in big hospitals. She smiled kindly. Then said: "Who on earth told you get a size 12 tube? This is far too big!"
It took the 4 separate bouts of trying and still Rachel refused to swallow the tube. Finally the disappeared with her and the mum into a room for 30 minutes returned and exhausted child, still tubeless but now retching and wheezing. Within minutes one side of her face had swollen to treble it's usually side and she was struggling to breath.
Not a nurse in sight! I searched up and down the ward until I finally found a loan blue aproned women who sneered at me "Well if you're so worried take her in there!" and pointed to the "Emergency Treatment Room".
At last! I'd found doctors! But every individual was a hive of activities over babies who's each breath appeared to be their last! We shrank back, not knowing quite what to do – was this an emergency enough? Should we wait or insist on treatment – until finally a doctor became free.
"Well where's her file? And who ordered this big tube?" she demanded.
Another 20 minutes and the file was located. "Well of course she's not getting the right course of treatment here, she was meant to be admitted to the Mwanamujimu nutrition ward!"
Leaving a trail of bitter words about the quality of nursing care being us, off we hiking to the top of Mulago hill in search of the poorly sign posted Mwanamujimu centre. But at last, we found the place! It was clean; there was a swing set out front; smiling nurses in bright blue tabards attended to each and every child.
They took one look at her file and asked "But why have you brought her here? She wasn't supposed to be admitted here until tomorrow!"
Frustration spilling out of my every pore, they finally took pity on us, agreeing to admit her there and then and leaping into action about her hydration issues and swollen face. She must, of course, go through triage again but after more than an hour waiting we managed to sweet talk the nurses into allowed them to be unofficially admitted and kitted out with everything they needed whilst they waited for the doctor to see them.
Only one battle still remained, the door the cupboard of charity clothes was locked. "Some mothers are stubborn; they refuse to return the clothes, so now no one is given them!" Tired and frustrated out of my mind I let them know how ridiculous this was. I gave a personal guarantee Rachel would return the clothes, a personal guarantee of the original intention of donated clothing, along with a personal guarantee of what I would do if Rachel was not given clothes and well cared for on my return.
We left Mulago past 6pm reaching Jinja at 8.30pm. Don't get me started on the farcical days the other three children seeking treatment had…just know that this is just a typical day out at Mulago.
I will keep you informed on Rachel's progress and hopefully inundate you with photos of her new healthy self!!
PS Sorry for the lack of picture this time, I just didn't have the heart to be taking photos of everything whilst it was going on!

Indiana drought concern for farmers
This is one of earliest droughts in 25 years
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. | June 20, 2012
Indiana farmers and livestock producers still can recover from one of the worst droughts in more than two decades, but time is growing short, researchers say.
While one of the earliest onslaughts of extremely dry conditions in more than 20 years is drying out crop fields and forages, it's not yet time to hit the panic button, Purdue University researchers said Tuesday.
"Clearly, there are some truly severely stressed regions of the state," Bob Nielsen, Purdue corn specialist, said. "But if you look at the state as a whole, the corn has hung in there amazingly well."
Although dryness is not uncommon in Indiana in the summer, it is unusual for drought to hit in the spring, as it did this year soon after farmers planted corn and soybeans, researchers said.
"It is among the earliest onsets of severe, dry weather we've had in at least the last 25 years or so," Nielsen said.
Indiana has had less rain than normal because of continued high pressure and lack of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, the state's primary source of moisture, the Indiana State Climate Office based at Purdue said.
It still is possible for the corn crop to produce yields close to trend, Nielsen said, but it would need widespread and timely rains now and for the remainder of the season.
"It's not a disaster yet. We still have opportunities to recover. There has been yield loss that we won't recover, but I don't think it has been dramatic yield loss," he said.

Polihale State Park
Regardless of what type of traveler you are or what sort of experience you're looking for, Polihale State Park on the far western edge of Kaua'i is a remote outpost that holds a different allure for all who venture to her shores.
If you're a novelty-seeker you can revel in the knowledge that Polihale State Park is the westernmost public beach in the entire state of Hawaii. If you're an adventure-seeker, you'll love how Polihale State Park is accessed by a rugged dirt road where 100 ft. sand dunes line the empty shoreline. If you're a photographer, Polihale State Park is one of the few places on Kauai where you can photograph the sunset disappearing into the water and somehow be the only person around.

This open faced tuna melt sandwich is totally my solo lady lunch sandwich. Also know as the 'please don't come near me for the next 5 hours' sandwich. I'm fully aware that the tuna melt is like the Hawaiian of the pizza world. But I don't care! I LOVE Hawaiian pizza, and I love tuna melt sandwiches.
This sandwich is thrown together so quickly. It's got melty cheese, crispy bread, sour capers and pimped up tuna (with no mayo in sight). What is not to love?
We don't need many ingredients and if you're like me who pretty much only has lemons and mustard in your fridge then you are good to go!
We take tuna, capers, fresh parsley, mustard to taste, a dollop of creme fraiche, squeeze of lemon, plenty of pepper, melty cheese and your favourite fresh bread.
A lick of mustard (I love that phrase) goes on to each side of our roll. In a bowl we throw the tuna, chopped parsley, capers, a squeeze of lemon, pepper and a dash of creme fraiche. I'm not the biggest fan of mayo unless it's along side some hot fries. I know it makes no sense. But creme fraiche is not only a healthier alternative, it also adds a bit of tang which I think this sandwich needs.
Once our tuna has topped our bread it's time to melt that cheese! We stick our sandwiches under the grill till it get's all bubbly. I like to add a final squeeze of lemon just to brighten the whole thing up.
Ingredients makes one solo lady sandwich
1 ciabatta roll, sliced in half
1 teaspoon of mustard (or to taste)
1 can of tuna, drained
3 sprigs of fresh parsley, finely minced
2 teaspoons of capers, drained and diced
1/2 lemon, juice only
1 tablespoon creme fraiche
Good grind of pepper
2 slices of swiss cheese
- Split the mustard evenly between the two halves of the roll and spread to cover.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the tuna, parsley, capers, most of the lemon juice, creme fraiche and plenty of pepper. Turn your grill on to heat.
- Split the tuna mixture evenly between the two halves of the roll and spread out.
- Top each half with a slice of cheese and place under the grill till the cheese has melted and starts to bubble slightly. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Take out from under the grill and leave to cool slightly. Sprinkle of the remaining lemon juice. Dig in.
