The Kentucky Kernel, the University of Kentucky's independent campus newspaper, announced Monday that it will cut production of the print newspaper from five days a week to two in an effort to put more emphasis on its online products.
The decision was made over the summer by the Kernel's board of directors.
While the Kernel still has strong readership of its print product, faculty adviser Chris Poore said more and more students are getting their news online.
"This is as much an effort to go where our readership was going as anything," he said. "We have two audiences, and we're trying to pay attention to both."
He said the move also allows student journalists to focus more on storytelling and less on the time-consuming process putting out a daily print product.
Kernel Editor-in-Chief Will Wright, a former Herald-Leader intern, said in a column announcing the change that "through Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, and through video and graphics, the Kernel will become one of the best daily online newspapers in the country.
"And the printed paper will be better than ever."
The free, student-run publication had offered a printed paper five days a week since 1966.
It will now be printed on Mondays and Thursdays and will be online every day.

What better way to get through cold winter days than with a warm, delicious chowder?
As you know, Flannista can cook three things: a Thanksgiving turkey, grilled ribeye and popcorn. But now she must add Sass Chowder (really called "Lox Chowder"), the recipe for which appeared in the February 17, 2013 issue of the New York Times magazine. The Sassistas! made it last Sunday afternoon and it was WONderful.
Here are the ingredients:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium leek, cleaned, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 large, starchy potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1.5 cups chicken stock, either homemade or low-sodium
1 bay leaf
1 sequester
2 cups whole milk
4 ounces smoked salmon, flaked
3/4 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Fresh chives, minced, for garnish
The Sassistas! substituted fat-free milk for whole milk. Half-and-half can be substituted for heavy cream. It pays to spring for the fresh thyme leaves and fresh chives. The total cost of the ingredients was about $15.00 -- of which $7.00 was for the smoked salmon.
1. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat. Add leek, carrot and celery, and cook until the vegetables have softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, potato and thyme, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, an additional 2 or 3 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to combine, then cook, stirring often, for approximately 5 minutes, making sure not to scorch the bottom of the pan.
3. Add the wine, chicken stock, sequester and bay leaf, and bring mixture to a simmer. After 10 minutes or so, stir in the milk, and return to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, approximately 25 minutes. Add the salmon and stir gently, allowing the fish to warm, but making sure that the mixture does not boil.
4. Remove the sequester and bay leaf and discard. Add the cream, then stir to combine and heat through. Season to taste with pepper. Garnish with minced chives.
The recipe makes 4 large servings or 6 smaller servings.
Many chowders add bacon, but the smoked salmon adds salty perfection.
Sass appétit!

Smooth, Southern and down on his luck -- or so he tells people -- William Bowen, 34, has been ''borrowing'' cash and clothes from dozens of gay men and merchants around the West Side in recent weeks after winning their confidence and sympathy, according to the New York City Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project.
In fliers that it is handing out in the West Village, Chelsea, Clinton and the Upper West Side, the group says Mr. Bowen goes either by the name Billy Bowen or Steven McCormick and comes across as charming, articulate and attractive. He picks up men on the street or drops by a store or restaurant and begins spinning a story: ''New to New York'' or ''Can't cash my check'' or ''My boyfriend just kicked me out.'' Those who believe him soon find their wallets or wardrobes a bit lighter. ''He will rip you off,'' the fliers declare.
Mr. Bowen has been around since 1994, said Jan Holland, a victims' rights advocate with the anti-violence group. After a fairly quiet spell, she said, he re-emerged in late June. About 50 people have called the group, whose number is on the fliers, to say they have encountered him.
''Nickeled and dimed -- that's how victims perceive what he's been doing,'' Ms. Holland said. ''Most people don't want to call the police. Part of that is embarrassment, part of that is shame, part of that is they just want to put it behind them. And they feel lucky nothing worse happened.''
A few worse things have happened, though, said Barbara Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney's office. She said Mr. Bowen was charged with punching an employee of Rome, a gay bar at Eighth Avenue and 25th Street, after the employee recognized him from a flier and tried to remove him. A hearing is scheduled for September. He has also served two jail terms in the city, Ms. Thompson said, 30 days for assault in 1995 and four months for petty larceny in 1994.
Public records list Mr. Bowen's lawyer as Deborah A. Schwartz. But Ms. Schwartz said she no longer represented him and did not have an address or phone number at which he could be reached.Continue reading the main story
In the larceny case, Leonard Leonov said Mr. Bowen met him at a bar, and told him he had broken up with a boyfriend in Atlanta and run out of money. He asked for a ride home. Mr. Leonov's car was then hit by a taxi on Eighth Avenue and, he said, Mr. Bowen took his cash, clothes and gold chain after the two men arrived at the hospital. ''Being betrayed like that was so immoral,'' Mr. Leonov said. ''And I couldn't forgive him.'' DAVID W. DUNLAPContinue reading the main story

|The Published Silmarillion
|J. R. R. Tolkien
Ainulindalë (eye-nu-lin-da-leh) is The Music of the Ainur. This chapter tells of how the Ainur, the Holy Ones, were created and how all found its beginning. Ainulindalë is not considered part of the true Silmarillion, known as Quenta Silmarillion. Its purpose is to explain how the first things came to be and accounts for the history that was before Middle-earth existed.
[edit] The Story
[edit] Introduction and the Music
The universe is first described as empty, with only Eru Ilúvatar existing. Ilúvatar created the Ainur when there was nothing. He taught them to sing and to make music according to his themes, and he was glad to hear them as they grew in skill and learned to perform harmoniously. When they had learned much, he gathered the Ainur and declared to them the Great Music. From the theme he gave them, they would orchestrate it, according to their own thoughts, if they will. The Ainur began to create the music according to the theme of Ilúvatar. The music was so grand that it is said no music as elegant or beautiful has been played by the Ainur since, but their greatest song shall be played near the end of days, before the Children of Ilúvatar.
[edit] The Revolt of Melkor
Ilúvatar listened with content, hearing no flaws in the music inspired by him, but then Melkor, the Ainu who had received the most gifts of power and knowledge from Ilúvatar, began to deviate and to express his own thematic composition, desiring to give greater glory to the part assigned to himself. This threw off the other Ainur, some of whom began to adjust their melodies according to his. The harmony fell to chaos, and the result was described as a raging storm of warring waters. Ilúvatar sat and listend awhile, but then he arose, and the Ainur perceived he was happy, as he lifted his left hand. A new theme, similar, yet different to the first, overtook to the flow of the sounds. Melkor resisted and clashed with the sound in another war of noise. Ilúvatar rose yet again, appearing quite stern, and held up his right hand. A third theme that was unlike the others overtook the music and chaos. Melkor again rebelled and attempted to control the concert with his violent music and was managing to succeed. Ilúvatar rose for a third time, "and his face was terrible to behold. Then he raised up both his hands, and in one chord, deeper than the Abyss, higher the the Firmament, piercing as the light of the eye of Ilúvatar, the Music ceased."
[edit] The Will of Ilúvatar
He then explained to the Ainur that they would see what all they had done, and to Melkor, he declared that no theme may not have its source in him, lest the instruments of Ilúvatar be proven more wonderful. These words frightened the Ainur, for they did not yet understand, and Melkor felt ashamed, from which came secret anger. Ilúvatar brought them forth to the Void and gave them a vision of the World, the fate of which unfolded before them. Ilúvatar instructed them that this world would be created, according to the theme of their music, that they may modify as seen fit, but he reminded Melkor that all of his innermost desires played only a small role of a much grander scheme.
He told them much more, and the memory of the Ainur came to know much of what was, what is, and what will be, but there are some fates that not even the Ainur shall know, until the end of days. Only Ilúvatar can see all ends. One of the sights that most bedazzled the Ainur was that of the Children of Ilúvatar. They are known so, for their roots come from the third theme of Ilúvatar, of which the Ainur had no part. They saw no purpose beyond the beauty of these children and loved them.
[edit] The Children and Arda
"Now the Children of Ilúvatar are Elves and Men, the Firstborn and the Followers." Ilúvatar chose for the Children a habitation under many stars. The Ainur had all of their greatest desires set on the vision of the world, and Melkor most of all, but he desired to make things according to his design and to rule the world that they would create. He desired servants and to control the wills of others. He envied the Children of Ilúvatar for the gifts given to them. Soon the Ainur observed the many colors and substances of Arda, the Earth, which were iron, stone, silver, gold, and the most adored, water, which is said to echo still the sounds of the Music of the Ainur. And to water, Ulmo gave his thought, and to the wind and the air, Manwë gave his thought, and to fabric of the Earth, Aulë gave his thought. They became the masters of these domains.
Ilúvatar spoke to Ulmo of the beauty of water: "Seest thou not how here in this little realm in the Deeps of Time Melkor hath made war upon thy province? He hath bethought him of bitter cold immoderate, and yet hath not destroyed the beauty of thy fountains, nor of thy clear pools. Behold the snow, and the cunning work of frost! Melkor hath devised heats and fire without restraint, and hath not dried up thy desire nor utterly quelled the music of the sea. Behold rather the height and glory of the clouds, and the everchanging mists; and listen to the fall of rain upon the Earth! And in these clouds, thou art drawn nearer to Manwë, thy friend, whom thou lovest." Ulmo was moved by this speech and sought Manwë, forever becoming his ally. Together, they were the most loyal to the purposes of Ilúvatar.
[edit] The Coming of Ëa
Soon the Ainur found disappointment. They became aware of Darkness and of the holes in the destiny of the world that were masked from them, and the vision of the world stopped before the Dominion of Men and the fading of the Firstborn, and the end of days were unknown. This disturbed the Ainur, but Ilúvatar found a remedy, for he knew the desire kindled in their hearts. So he sent into the Void the Flame Imperishable, and it became the heart of the world. It looked like a cloud with an inner flame, and they knew it not to be a vision. Ilúvatar had created Ëa, the World that Is. Some of the Ainur remained with Ilúvatar, but the others went to create the habitation, and their power would forever be bound to the world, to see it to completion. They then became known as the Valar, the Powers of the World. So the Valar went to Ëa and Manwë, Aulë, and Ulmo led the creation of the world. Melkor, however, interfered and created great flames so that the Earth was aflame, and he claimed it as his own kingdom. In protest, Manwë rallied many spirits to stop Melkor from ruining what was not yet made. He claimed that Melkor had no right to claim kingship, for all had labored hard. So Melkor withdrew to distant regions, but the desire for the Kingdom of Arda waned not.
[edit] The War with Melkor
The Valar took on form and color, in the likeness of those seen in Vision of Ilúvatar. The Valar may take any shape they so desire, though, and need not a binding, physical form to exist. In most times, they fashion themselves like the Children of Ilúvatar, but their form shall reflect their own thoughts and feelings accordingly. The Valar drew many friends of varying might, some lesser, and some almost equal. When Melkor saw the Valar walking their lands in splendor, he burned with envy and took the form of someone dark and terrible. Thus initiated the first battle between the Valar and Melkor for Arda. Everything they made, Melkor reversed. He raised valleys, leveled mountains, drained oceans. Yet not all was in vain, for the time eventually came when "the habitation of the Children of Ilúvatar was established at last in the Deeps of Time and amidst the innumerable stars."
[edit] Other Details
[edit] Foreshadowing
The rogue attitude of Melkor as the Great Music is played foretells the reigns of darkness to come. Melkor's first attempt to subdue the melody represents his war with the Valar before the time of the Firstborn. His second attempt correlates to his return to power as the Dark Lord, before being overthrown forever. The third interference is related to Sauron and the War of the Ring, as mentioned in the end of The Silmarillion and in The Lord of the Rings.
[edit] Allegory
There are many relations of Middle Earth lore to real world mythology and tales. Melkor's story is similar to Lucifier's descent from Heaven and becoming Satan. Ilúvatar reflects the old Hebrew idea of there being one god above all, but with other divine beings existing as well. Similarly to monotheistic beliefs, Arda was created before any living being, for the living beings. This is similar to the tale in Genesis when God gives mankind dominion over the Earth. This idea is furthered with the Dominion of Men in the later years of Middle-earth.

In each pack of two pocket sized Moleskines, there's a Moleskine brochure and a quality assurance sticker. The first one I noticed I stuck in the first page of the book. The next couple I received I thought, "Cute. Blue," stuck the sticker in the book, made a note that it cracked me up, and that's about it. Today, as I went to pick out my next everyday book color, I noticed the sticker was green. It prompted me to look at the stickers in the other books.
They have different patterns.
Since I'm heading down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, I don't expect to have any working electronics. I had thought about bringing my sidekick down with me, but its need to sync everything, even when the network and wireless are off, means the battery won't last more than 10 minutes on the trip.
So, I'm taking a moleskine.
Yes, I've finally broken down and decided to use a moleskine.
I've had them since Christmas, when I impulsively asked Kris to buy me a set of three, 64 page grid moleskines. I had them in my box of paperwork this whole time, minus the one I gave Mom earlier this month. It's small, so I feel like it's a small deck of index cards (and way way way way smaller than my usual 1.5" stack of index cards, that's for sure).

It was Lecomte's 10th 20-plus game of the season.

Just send us a simple email, and include at least one way for us to see what you currently look like, or what you do online.
You can do that any number of ways, including linking us to your instagram handle, a Facebook profile, a dropbox album, a MM account, your Twitter, your Vine, Youtube channel, or tumblr. Or just attach some pictures to the email!
If you want, let us know how you heard about us, and what kind of experience (if any) that you have with modeling or acting. No experience is needed, but we do need to form an idea of what kind of content is already out there.
Whether you're a first time model, a veteran of the industry, or an Instagram star looking for the next step, we want to hear from you!
We're mainly looking for non-nude performers, that way we can create and market non-nude content with you. That would mean you haven't yet done any explicit camming on the side, tried out for Playboy, posted fully-topless pics to instagram, or uploaded your sex tapes anywhere.
If you HAVE already done some nude work on the internet, don't give up yet! We might still be able to work together in special cases. We do work with a range of different types of performers currently, but have learned that the bikini and tease models have better success online with our format and make more money with us. Hit us up anyway, but tell us what content might already be out there, whether it was released publicly yet or not.
Let's make something awesome!

About Sandra K.Close
My specialty is teaching tap as a musical instrument. For me, the movement serves the sound rather than a visual effect. No matter if you're a beginning, intermediate or advanced student, you will discover the potential of the human body to help internalize musical concepts such as phrasing, form, improvisation, and self-expression, as well as gain organic access to complex musical structures. Whether your focus is on building tap dance skills, seeking to connect body and mind in a profound and musical way, or are a musician who wants to become more connected and physically involved with the groove within - you are in the right place with me. The tap steps are merely tools to access your unique voice. My tap lessons combine technique, improvisation, and combinations with mindfulness, breathing, and body awareness exercises. Find the groove that is within you!
About Sandra
My performance credits include Thomas Marek's show NOLA, the sound art/tap performance Homöostep, the Tap Ahead Festival, and Daniel Luka's T.A.P. My current main project is Neosole, which explores tap as a music instrument, as a full member of the rhythm section, not just soloing as a gimmick on top of the music, but being fully integrated, comping and providing a foundation for the musical context.
I have been invited to teach at renowned facilities such as tanzhaus nrw, tap club, and Rebeltanz, and to be a tap dancer in residence at Thomas Marek's Studio Footprints.
My artistic works have been featured in publications such as Average Art, The Tap Love Tour Podcast, What Moves You, and Not Random Art.
I first started tap dancing at the age of 10 under the direction of my Mom.
I consider myself a musician, and the tap shoes are my instrument. My style is deeply rooted in the aesthetic of jazz music and heavily shaped by playing in numerous jam sessions around Europe and New York City, however, my art transcends the boundaries of genres. It is merely a tool to create the most genuine and sophisticated expression possible. A catalyst to explore art as an extension of the human experience.
I call myself a tap dance musician because neither dance nor music could exist without the other. However, I don't move to look a certain way, I move to sound a certain way.

Please help us maintain these beautiful Commons for the benefit of local wild life and people alike. Every donation however small will help us with conservation projects like these across the Commons.
Pond Restoration
There are two ponds on the Commons. One is a dew pond next to the cricket pitch and the other is called Pallett's Pond and sits adjacent to the Cholesbury Road to Wiggington. There have been a number of pond surveys carried out over the last decade to assess the best way for HCCPS to manage the ponds for the benefit of local flora and fauna.
Historic pond restoration projects have included the removal of a tree from Pallett's Pond to increase light and reduce leaf litter pollutants. Some dominant plants have also been reduced where necessary to increase plant and habitat diversity. The most recent survey has advised proceeding with limited intervention on the dew pond to open up approximately 25% of the surface area by clearing some of the reed grass. The intention is to rotate the area that is cleared to minimise habitat disturbance.
Pallett's Pond has had a leak for over 15 years as a result of the porous 'gabion wall' which was constructed by the local Council to shore up the road. In 2015/16, we plugged this leak using a strip of plastic liner and some naturally water-proof clay, which was then covered by earth and landscaped. This has been successful; the summer water level has remained considerably higher, and the appearance of the pond is much improved. However, the greater water depth has encouraged more plant growth, particularly of sweetgrass and the invasive water plant, New Zealand Pigmy Weed, which is spreading throughout the UK. We have tried to remove this in various ways, but now accept that the plant cannot be completely eliminated, but can be controlled. So, from time to time – perhaps every two to three years - we need to remove some areas of growth, as well as the fast-growing sweetgrass, in order to keep the water surface open, and encourage our native wildlife. We hope this action will be sufficient, but will keep the situation under review.
We are indebted to Isobel Clark for her research on ways of managing the pond, and to a number of volunteers for their practical contribution. In addition, James Joliffe, Philip Matthews and Marcus Reynolds have all provided very helpful time and resources, free of charge. We are hugely grateful for their support.
Latest update – December 2017
A few weeks ago, in the autumn, using our local contractor, James Joliffe, the excessive growth of water plants was removed. This timing was chosen so that the pond can remain undisturbed during the winter, allowing a wide variety of amphibians and invertebrates to hibernate successfully before re-emerging next spring. We hope that the winter rains will again fill the pond to its proper level and that the health of this beautiful feature will be maintained.

WESTERN Australian Greens Senator Rachel Siewert is calling for a national "contamination insurance scheme" to help protect farmers who choose not to plant genetically modified (GM) crops.
Senator Siewert announced she would be tabling a motion in the federal Senate today, aimed at protecting non-GM and organic farmers like Steve Marsh.
Mr Marsh lost a high profile case in the WA Supreme Court last year when the judge comprehensively rejected his attempts to sue his GM canola-growing neighbour Michael Baxter.
The Marshes had claimed $85,000 in alleged damages after GM canola swathes were detected on their organic farm in late 2010, sparking organic decertification on about 70 per cent of the 478-hectare Kojonup farm.
But Justice Ken Martin's 150-page judgement rejected assertions GM canola was unsafe in dismissing both the Marshes' causes of action in common law negligence and private nuisance.
Justice Martin subsequently awarded costs totalling $804,000 in the defendant's favour.
That original decision is now being appealed by Mr Marsh and his legal representatives, Slater & Gordon lawyers, with a hearing scheduled to be held March 23 to 25 in the Court of Appeal for the WA Supreme Court.
But Senator Siewert said Mr Marsh "recently incurred enormous financial costs as a result of contamination from a neighbouring GM canola farmer".
"My motion will call on the federal government to implement a national contamination insurance scheme that protects non-GM farmers like Steve Marsh from future contamination," she said.
"The proposed scheme would be funded through GM crop levies.
"Farmers in WA like Steve Marsh offer choice for Australian consumers and the growing international market, they deserve infrastructure to protect them if the current laws are failing to defend them."
Ms Siewert said her motion would also call on the WA government to retain its framework that keeps GMO-free areas within WA – the GM Crops Free Areas Act.
"Attempts to repeal the Act are driven by a pro-GMO Minister who is not interested in fairness for non-GMO farmers who choose not to grow genetically modified crops," she said.
"With no safe zones for non-GMO/organic farmers, cases like Steve Marsh will become more frequent, making life near impossible for farmers that are already struggling.
"Until there is an adequate scientific understanding of their long term impact on the environment, human and animal health, we must maintain and improve infrastructure to assure non-GMO farmers are protected.
"This is especially the case whilst there is the absence of strong, transparent, precautionary regulatory and monitoring system which prevents GMO contamination in the first place.
"Farmers should be able to farm in the way that they want to - it is time to make coexistence sustainable in WA."
Mr Marsh's campaign around the legal test case questioned the safety of GM crops and was supported by the Safe Food Foundation (SFF), which stated it had had raised $750,000 through public donations at the time of trial 12 months ago.
Calls for further public donations to assist the Marsh have continued since the decision was handed down.
The judgment said Mr Baxter "was not to be held responsible as a broad acre farmer merely for growing a lawful GM crop and choosing to adopt a harvest methodology (swathing) which was entirely orthodox in its implementation".
The judgement was also highly critical of processes used by Mr Marsh's organic certifier, the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia, and its zero tolerance for GM crops.
GM 'safe': CropLife
CropLife Australia CEO Matthew Cossey said Justice Martin's judgment was clear that the decertification of the organic farmer's property by NASA was wrong.
Mr Cossey said coexistence in farming already existed and creating conflict where there is none does not help the nation's farmers or Australian agriculture more broadly.
He said Senator Siewert's motion seemed to be based on a "narrow political agenda to create unnecessary conflict between farmers rather than support the longstanding principles of coexistence in agriculture".
"Such legislation would only serve to stifle the future of Australian agricultural research, innovation and competitiveness," he said.
"It also ignores the significant agronomic, economic and environmental benefits of GM crops and the rights of Australian farmers to choose what approved crops they want to grow on their own farms.
"It would impose a costly mandate on farmers, technology providers and Australia's own publicly funded researchers, with no identifiable societal benefit."
Mr Cossey said GM Crops were the most tested food technology in human history underpinned by more than 30 years of scientific research, extensive testing and independently verified evidence.
He said the development, planting and consumption of an approved GM crop, "is safe".
"Every legitimate scientific institution in the world, including the World Health Organization, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations and the Australian Academy of Science has concluded that GM crops are as safe as their conventional counterparts," he said.
"All GM crops approved by the Gene Technology Regulator for commercial release in Australia are as safe as their conventional (non-GM) counterparts.
"Globally, over one billion acres of GM crops have been cultivated since 1996, over three trillion meals containing GM food ingredients have been consumed, and not a single incident of harm to human health or the environment has been identified or recorded."
Mr Cossey said the overwhelming long-term scientific consensus on the independent evidence "hasn't convinced Senator Siewert because it doesn't fit her political agenda".
"The hypocrisy of someone that has demanded that governments listen to and act upon the science of climate change and then demand that government's ignore or act against the science of agricultural biotechnology is an example of astonishing cognitive dissonance," he said.
"Senator Siewert's motion is a misplaced activist solution looking for a non-existent problem.
"For Australian farmers to play their part in feeding nine billion people by 2050, in the face of a changing climate and global economic uncertainty, motions such as this must be vigorously opposed for its flawed political motives and irrational foundations.
"Real farmer protection lies in opposition to this kind of debate and the confused rhetoric that comes with it.
"Thankfully there are government's such as the current WA government that develop agricultural public policy based on science and evidence not intellectually weak activist agendas that Senator Siewert would have them pursue," he said.
'Deeply cynical' about Greens
South Australian Liberal Senator Sean Edwards said he was "deeply cynical" about the Greens' timing on the matter.
"They didn't like the judge's finding in the original decision and so this looks a lot like judicial lobbying three weeks out from an appeal hearing," he said.
"I understand the Safe Food Foundation is actively funding Mr Marsh's case with many hundreds of thousands of dollars and it's unclear to me whether he's ultimately suffered any losses at all.
"The Greens' fear mongering over GMO technology may play well to their constituency but it defies science and their agenda limits farmers' economic potential.
"To simply refer to lack of adequacy in the science is preposterous – the science supports this technology.
"But if they feel they know something that the World Health Organisation and the most sophisticated regulatory systems in the world do not, then I'm all ears," he said.
"If there is a skerrick of evidence that world health authorities are wrong then the Greens need to table it or stop prothletising with their mistruths and innuendo."
WA Agriculture Minister Ken Baston said the GM Crops Free Areas Act wasn't about the safety of GM crops - which was governed by a federal Act – and was simply a marketing-based act.
Mr Baston said when the Act was introduced in 2003, one of its aims was to prevent WA growers from planting a GM crop before markets or the grain industry was ready.
But he said WA had been successfully growing and segregating GM canola for four years and the WA grains industry was now "sufficiently sophisticated and mature to be able to handle these issues on its own".
"I believe industry is also better placed than government to make judgements on market acceptance," he said.
"In considering a repeal of this Act I have listened to industry, who by large are calling for its repeal, and I have also consulted with grain marketers who are involved in our international markets as part of their daily business."
Mr Baston said he also agreed that farmers should be able to farm in the way that they wanted to and for sustainable co-existence in WA.
"It is important that growers have the opportunity to decide what to produce on their properties that best fits their production system in order for the WA grains industry to be internationally competitive," he said.
"Within the framework and controls that exist for growing GM crops in Australia, every grower should have the right to select the production system that works for their personal and business values.
"GM crops are one available tool in the plant breeding toolbox to enable researchers to develop climate resilient crop varieties, improved quality and public health benefits."
Senator Siewert's motion reads:
I give notice that on the next day of sitting, I will move that:
The Senate
a) Notes the intention of the WA State Government to review of WA's Genetically Modified Crops Free Areas Act 2003; and
b) Calls on the WA State Government to retain the legislative framework that creates GMO-free areas within WA.
c) Notes the enormous financial costs, including court fees and loss of income, that Steve Marsh has incurred after having his organic farm contaminated by GM canola from a neighbouring farm; and
d) Calls on the Federal Government to facilitate the creation of a national contamination insurance scheme that ensures that the clean-up and loss of income costs associated with cleaning up a GMO contamination is funded by levies on GM crops.

"The Seattle Police Department said in a blog post Officer Nic Abts-Olsen pulled a vehicle over for driving without headlights after dark about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Coleman neighborhood.
The officer checked the license and registration given to him by the 73-year-old motorist and was planning to release the man due to his spotless driving record, but when he returned to the Toyota he saw the man scooping cocaine out of a small glass vial.
The officer knocked on the motorist`s window, apparently startling the elderly man and causing him to spill the white powder onto his hands and the floor of the vehicle."
One the one hand I`m glad that a dangerous driver has been nabbed by the cops, but on the other hand I admire a 73-year-old geezer who still likes to party and have a good time.
When I get to be that old I hope that in the midst of my dozens of prescription pills, laxatives and vitamins there will be a joint.
Moral of this story: Grandpops if you want to get high do it in the privacy of your home.

As stated in the announcement, the next beta weekend will run from April 25th at 16:00 CEST until April 28th at 8:59 CEST. A new build should be available meaning it'll run a bit better than this last weekend, while still letting you enjoy the new user interface and character creation options. More importantly, some new content will be available in this coming beta weekend. Not only will the level cap be raised from 20 to 25, but new features including the following will be available:
1.New Adventure – Northern Wilds Adventure is a MOBA style group content experience for you and four of your buddies. Take over the whole map and destroy the enemy base to win, but watch out for the defending faction… they'll viciously fight to win so come prepared to kick ass.
2.Whitevale – The Dominion version of Alcatraz, Invading Alien scientists (…that dissect anything that moves), and a sunken ship filled with treasure hungry Marauders are waiting for your arrival. Oh … and a nuclear teraformer explosion has unleashed brain controlling squid on the Exile and Dominion military forces. No big deal.
3.Hoverboards – Like hoverboarding? Duh. Of course you do. Get your hoverboard at a mount vendor in the capital city!
4.Abilities and AMPs – Get new abilities to put in your Limited Action Set so you can continue to customize the way you destroy baddies, and unlock more perks in our AMP system.
5.Unlock more clues to the history of the Eldan – Where did this hyper-advanced race go? What kind of technology and secrets are out there? Where can you get a solid space fish taco on Nexus? Get out there and find out, Spanky.

This Year's Large-Impact Storm?
February 28, 2012 Leave a comment
Last year we had 'Snowpocalypse' which did indeed impact most of the country's midsection.
Tonight, storm components are forming over the Plain states for what will surly be a mess for not only us, but the whole Midwest.
Specifically here, the morning commute will be immensely effected. Shortly after midnight tonight (1-2am), precip will start and continue until noon tomorrow. Depending on any track shift, some wrap around precip may drag things into early afternoon.
Regarding what precip and where:
- If you are above US-10, snow with a little ice will be the show (3-6 inches snow).
- Us-10 to I-96, a little snow but more ice (1-3 snow, 1/4 inch ice).
- South of I-96, sorry but once again you will be warm and dry relative to surrounding locations. What may start as snow/mix, will transition to an all rain event. Cool news, you may get some thunderstorms, which I am missing.
I got a bad gut feeling as the day went on, and that was if the dry slot would ruin a lot of the accumulations for our area. It will indeed make an impact the further south you go, but I think these amounts should hold well.
Next forecast will be whether or not to stay up looking for a cool thunderstorm to roll through, or get a good nights sleep for a Cloud Physics exam tomorrow. Almost banking on a half day of classes tomorrow due to ice, but there I am breaking my own #1 rule. Study it is!
Oh, and enjoy a fallstreak hole/hole-punch cloud I spotted this morning on the way to work. View a perfect example of this phenomenon and how it works, here.

A very mild finish to the weekend with breezy and dry conditions. The dry part is about to change.
You may have heard about a pretty strong storm system in the midwest that's producing snow and heavy rainfall. That will eventually move our way starting Monday as a cold front approaches. The Storm Prediction Center has areas just to our west under a Slight Risk for severe weather on Monday:
The front will stall out, most likely just to the north of the tri-state on Tuesday. This will keep the chance for scattered thunderstorms in the picture through midweek. The front will very slowly move our way on Wednesday with widespread showers and thunderstorms expected Wednesday night into Thursday. That's really the key difference with this system compared to last weeks: the speed. Because it will be a slow-mover, heavy rainfall will be a big concern, with many areas along and north of the Ohio River seeing 2-3" of rain by Thursday night. Western Kentucky could pick-up 1-2" of rain as well.
Be Aware: Although most of the severe weather should stay to our west, it's possible we'll see strong winds and possibly large hail along with the threat for flooding.

So I've always thought that I would have peachy pink dresses for my bridesmaids, but I'm finding it hard to get the right color – not tea rose, not hot pink, not terracotta orange. Yesterday I went dress shopping for the first time with all of my bridesmaids (I had been once before with my MOH) and realized that if I'm going to have pink and peach flowers, that's an awful lot of one color scheme!
I had an epiphany and I now want pale turquoise dresses – I think this will match well with the peachy pink flowers (garden roses, dahlias, hyp. berries, snapdragons). I'll use it as an accent color with small details, but keep my original colors dominant throughout. What do you guys think? I love this Bill Levkoff dress and I want them to wear it in GLACIER. Does anyone have any real life BL dresses in Glacier, or any other dresses in a similar color?

Political Factors of Harvey Norman

(a) Environmental law
One of Environment Protection Act clauses states that "to prevent environmental degradation and adverse risks to human health and the health of ecosystems by promoting pollution prevention, clean production technology, reuse and recycling of materials and waste minimization programs."

A Fulham landlord was ordered to pay back £37,000 after renting out his property without the proper licence.
Rizwan Ahmed rented out a severley run down nine-bedroom house in Fulham Road which had no heating or hot water, dangerous electrics and no floor coverings.
As the property had three floors and was occupied by five or more tenants it was a licensable House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) – a license which Ahmed did not possess.
A Residential Property Tribunal has ordered Ahmed to pay back Hammersmith & Fulham Council a total of £37,404 after they banned him from renting out the property.
He had challenged the council's decision but his appeal was dismissed.
A council spokesman said: "Ahmed's tenants lived in putrid conditions and I am thrilled that the tribunal has told him to repay this £37,000.
"This should be a warning to all landlords to make sure their properties are up to a decent standard and that they have the correct paperwork."

Story Like the WindBook - 1972
From the critics

I'm very much of two minds about this book. On the positive side, it's filled with magic, with beautiful depictions of the African landscape and its complex natural environment and insight into the rich, complex culture of southern Africa the way it was before Europeans destroyed it. The characters are wonderfully developed -- the few remaining Bushmen, the aristocratic Matabele, the Joubert family of Huguenot ancestry who have learned to understand and appreciate the qualities of their native partners. Van der Post's deep love for that land and its peoples shines through constantly.
And that's where it sometimes becomes a problem; he is so intent on conveying all of that richness that he gets preachy and goes into far more detail about every aspect of it, including the thoughts and emotions of Francois, his main character. As a result, the story fails to move forward and I lost patience with it at times.
In the end, while this is a book of fiction the story is only there as a framework upon which Van der Post has constructed a quite scholarly piece of anthropology mixed with natural history, with a bit of political philosophy thrown in. So those who take it up as a coming-of-age story about a boy, his dog and his adventures will likely be frustrated by the endless excursions into topics that do little to advance the story. Further, the fact that its time setting is pre-WWI renders it nostalgic and rather dated, which is a pity.
I choose to accept it for what it is and appreciate the marvellous vistas and insights it provides into a much maligned and poorly understood part of our world, while at the same time acknowledging its flaws.

This piece is the culmination of lots of intuitive painting and playing. I had several colourful, dot-filled paintings that I wasn't sure where to go with. I was in a leaves mood, so decided to use leaf stamps to create some collage pieces. I played with these on previously painted backgrounds until I found this one and fell in love. After laying the leaves, I snapped away and a client who saw the pictures on social media asked if I could make a print – so here it is!
The image is 24 by 35 cm and, when printed, has a creamy-white border around it.
All the colours in this piece come from Mother Nature and the print is created on luxurious yet eco-friendly bamboo paper.

Lisa J. Jackson, the current EPA Administrator, was cool, collected, and low key when she appeared on the Jon Stewart show this week. I appreciated her demeanor. As the Administrator for an agency under attack, she has to be credible, authoritative and solid. She has to make folks feel that the person minding the E.P.A. store is dedicated, proactive and results-oriented. I felt that she was an effective counter-point to the overly-reactionary and inflammatory behavior of the opposition and perhaps, her predecessor. Yes, the Republicans. She didn't want to say it, but Stewart did and I will, too.
I like that she spoke in a low key tone of confidence and assurance. She laughed easily and seemed comfortable with Stewart's banter. Not only did she exude credibility and truthfulness, but rock solid on the facts. When Stewart presented the question about the cost of environmental clean-up, she let him know that she wasn't just relying on estimations and projections (even though they demonstrate that over the last forty years air and water quality improved while our GDP was up 207%), but she could also point to companies (half the power plants in the country) who have already complied with mercury standards and are doing just fine economically. That's a big deal. She didn't mention that these plants were coal-fired power plants, but she made it crystal clear that the non-compliant plants are responsible for mercury poisoning and all of the illness and premature deaths associated with it.
I think some of the most important statements she made was that the EPA is not a liberal extremist invention, but a 40-year-old agency established under a Republican president; that the protections we are working so hard to uphold had unanimous bipartisan support; and that because the EPA is doing its job and because its efforts are working, people have become complacent about assuring its continued success and effectiveness. Judging from the audience's thunderous response, these points were well taken.
It seemed to me that Jackson made the decision not to use The Jon Stewart Show as a venue to overtly recruit the public. She, instead, took the opportunity to dispel perceptions of the EPA as a scary, overbearing agency, and effectively gave the EPA a friendly, accessible face and a voice of reason, credibility and assurance. One of her stated goals is to renew the public's trust in the EPA. In my part of the world, the EPA is the big government bad guy making life miserable for the energy sector. From where I stand, a shift in perception is crucial.
Jackson is clearly on a mission. She seems to be seizing every opportunity to spread her message and crush the untruths, rhetoric and propaganda spewing forth from the other side. In furtherance of this, she seems to be everywhere. When she is not testifying before Congress—a task she says she has been called to do more than any other cabinet member– she speaks everywhere, she blogs , contributes articles , is interviewed and attends conferences. And She is on Facebook and Twitter. I think she is true to her goals and quite effective in all of these venues. The Jon Stewart Show is just one stop along her way and I think she worked it just right!

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. – Apr. 3, 2017 – One Identity, a proven leader in helping organizations get identity and access management (IAM) right, today announced a series of corporate milestones and record achievements, headlined by recognizing nearly a quarter billion dollars in bookings during the recently concluded fiscal year. A newly focused business operating within Quest Software, One Identity's phenomenal growth is due to the increased reliance of customers and partners on the company's continued commitment to customer success and solution innovation.
Having recently divested from Dell, and now operating within Quest Software, One Identity has improved business agility to better achieve customer outcomes, resulting in a strong financial finish to FY17, which ended Jan 31. In its newly published Magic Quadrant for Identity Governance and Administration[1], Gartner positioned One Identity in the "Challengers" quadrant.
"Year after year, the One Identity team continues to sharpen its focus on customer success. We continue to earn our customers' trust, as One Identity is the only vendor committed to delivering a complete portfolio of reliable governance, privileged management, access management and identity as a service solutions that help them get IAM right," said John Milburn, president and general manager of One Identity. "Our customers repeatedly cite our modular portfolio that enables them to start anywhere without having to install a monolithic infrastructure or work with multiple vendors, our focus on their success and the business-centric nature of IAM done through One Identity." One Identity achieved success across several areas:
Strong Operational Growth
Commitment to Customer Success
Partner Program Leverages Flexibility of One Identity Solutions
Validation for Product Innovation and Vision
"We spent 2016 refining the portfolio to help organizations continue to get IAM right as they move securely through their digital transformations," said Jackson Shaw, senior director of product management at One Identity. "We believe our enterprise customers will continue down this path, and we intend to support them every step of the way, particularly as they move to the cloud. Our first step in this direction was the introduction of One Identity Connect for Cloud in 2016 that extends an organization's governance program to cloud applications with unparalleled speed. We will be further extending our offerings and our team with plans to add 50 developers to support both hybrid and pure-play cloud deployments in 2017."
"When we looked at One Identity as part of the acquisition of technology from Dell, we knew we had found a true crown jewel," said Jeff Hawn, CEO of Quest Software. "This team has made it a habit of enabling customer success. As the One Identity team starts its next fiscal year, they do so with an incredible momentum and proven track record of financial and customer success and a portfolio unequaled in the market to solve their customers' toughest security and IAM challenges."

To be said for lessening pride in our lives:
o It's not worthy to be humble with those who treat us well; that is what worldly people do.
o We should especially be humble towards those who make us suffer.
o False humility is pride, since it aims at an appearance of glory.
o Some are even proud of their humility, which indicates its unworthy motive.
o Never be elated at thy humility! it puffs one up, when it is not genuine.
o Search out what is wrong in us and what is lacking so as to remain humble.
o Faith has no other obstacle than pride. Humility is the friend of faith.
o It's all the same to a humble person whether they laugh at him or praise him.
o Accept all benefits of our works in praise of Christ, who suffered for us.
o If we trust in God, we do not need to compete with others to satisfy pride.
Glory be, Oh my Jesus.
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, make my heart like onto thine. From the desire to be esteemed, deliver me. From the desire to be honored, deliver me. From the desire to be praised, deliver me. From fear of being humiliated... From fear of being held in contempt... From fear of suffering rebukes... From fear of being slandered... From fear of being ignored... From fear of being insulted... From fear of being wronged, deliver me. Jesus, grant me the grace to desire that others be admired more than I; that others be praised and I unnoticed; that others be preferred to me in everything; that others be holier than I, provided I become as holy as I should; that I might imitate the patience and obedience of Your mother, Mary. Amen.
