Temporary Enforcement Policy for Dairy Effluent Overflow
Temporary Enforcement Policy for Dairy Effluent Pond
A temporary enforcement policy announced by Environment Southland today (15/08/2014) will help farmers deal with effluent ponds in danger of overflowing due to the wet winter conditions. It allows dairy farmers to take action outside the conditions of their consents without fear of enforcement action, providing they meet certain conditions.
Environment Southland Chief Executive Rob Phillips said that due to the extremely wet winter, which shows no sign of letting up, some Southland dairy farmers are having problems with their effluent ponds overflowing or about to overflow, which is an outcome we want to avoid for environmental, social and cultural reasons.
"We are taking a pragmatic approach to managing this situation to minimise long-term environmental effects by keeping effluent out of waterways as much as we can," he said.
This temporary enforcement policy will cease to have effect on 30 September 2014.
The Temporary Enforcement Policy – essential information for Southland farmers:
1. Farmers who have this problem are required to advise the ES 24hr Pollution Prevention hotline on 0800 76 88 45 on each occasion that they intend to take action to reduce the level of the pond in a manner that doesn't comply with the conditions of their resource consent.
2. Environment Southland will record the consent holder's name, farm identifier, the problem and the proposed remedial action.
3. Provided that the proposed remedial actions are within the following guidelines, and are adhered to, Environment Southland will not take any enforcement action:
· Only as much liquid as is necessary to prevent the pond from overflowing within the next fortnight is removed on each occasion.
· The liquid is only removed from the top of the pond and the pond is not stirred. Note: most of this liquid will be rainwater.
· The liquid is applied to the driest areas of the farm, but not within 20 metres of flowing water.
· The liquid is applied at the lightest possible rate, and no more than 10 mm depth.
4. Farmers who use this exemption are to advise Environment Southland when they no longer intend to rely on this method of lowering FDE pond levels

Microsoft Silverlight is used by websites and applications to deliver a media-rich streaming experience. Based on your PC's internal hardware configuration and your available bandwidth speed, the quality of your streaming content is determined through Silverlight automatically. However, you can customize your buffering setting through the Stream Manager menu.
Accessing Stream Manager
To access the Stream Manager Menu in Windows 8, open a streaming video of your choice within Silverlight. Once the video has loaded, pause the playback. Press "Control-Alt-Shift-S" simultaneously and the Stream Manager menu will appear. (For Mac users, the key combination is "Control-Option-Shift-S.") The menu displays your current playback and buffer rate at the top, with the option to enter manual buffering rate with eight pre-selected options. Once you have chosen your preferred buffer rate, click the "Apply" button to confirm your change.
Video of the Day
Manually Setting Buffer Rate
Manually adjusting your buffer rate can lead to two outcomes. A higher buffer rate means more of the video is downloaded into your cache, creating a higher-quality picture without many interruptions. The tradeoff for this performance is a longer initial load time and, depending on the amount of cache memory in your computer, possible slowdown in other programs you have running. If loading speed is your primary concern, or you do not have a large amount of cache storage, lower the buffer rate to create a shorter load time with a lower video quality.

'A pair of carved wood relief portrait plaques, early 20th century, depicting Cardinal Wolsey and Thomas Cranmer. By repute originally from an Oxford College.' So read the catalogue for a provincial auction in November 2011. The online catalogue was discovered after the remarkable panels had been found in a Lincolnshire antique shop a few weeks later. It seems a cruel paradox that portraits intended to honour the cardinal who opposed Henry VIII's divorce from Queen Catherine and the most famous man who refused to accept it should be taken for the cardinal who tried to secure the divorce and the man who did most to deliver it.
Based on Hans Holbein the Younger's sketches of John Fisher and Thomas More, the portraits, each carved from a single panel of wood 2ft 6in by 2ft, appear to date from around the time of the saints' canonisation in 1935. They were acquired in a sorry state indicating an unsettled history.
After fine art restorer John Malcolm had painstakingly and devotedly reversed the signs of age and abuse including cracks due to shrinkage, grime, damage to paintwork, and overpainted backgrounds and frames, St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More were again looking their best. They were dedicated at a special Choral Evensong on 6th July 2012, the day of Thomas More's execution and of both martyrs' commemoration in the Anglican calendar.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.---John Jenkins scored 17 points, Jeffery Taylor 16 and Brad Tinsley 12 to lead Vanderbilt to a 65-35 victory over Auburn in the SEC opener for both teams in Memorial Gymnasium on Saturday. The Commodores made 13-of-29 from 3-point range.
After Varez Ward made a 3-pointer, Vanderbilt (10-4, 1-0) scored 10 straight points in 1:43 to take an 11-3 lead in the opening four minutes. The Commodores made their first five 3-point attempts and only missed one field goal of their first nine as they closed out an 8-0 run racing to a 24-9 lead almost halfway through the first half.
Auburn (10-5, 0-1) scored six straight points to close to within 30-17 with seven minutes left but that is as close as the Tigers would get the rest of the way.
"The bottom line is I'm doing an awful job," said Auburn head coach Tony Barbee. "This one is on me. Last year, we were not very talented and not SEC -level talent. Our talent level hasn't changed much. We got them to play above what they were. I am doing an awful job because we are not doing that this year."
Holding a 38-19 halftime lead, Vanderbilt scored the first five points of the second half en route to an 11-2 run to take a 49-21 lead with 16:20 to play.
Vanderbilt outshot Auburn 44.9 percent to 27.3 percent from the field and 13-of-29 (.448) to 3-of-13 (.231) from 3-point range. The Tigers were also 2-of-10 from the foul line and were outrebounded 42-34.
Auburn lost its fifth-straight SEC opener and eighth of its last nine while losing its sixth-straight game to Vanderbilt.
The Tigers return to action in their SEC home opener against No. 2 Kentucky on Wednesday at 7 pm CT at Auburn Arena.

Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:34:29 -0700
Pittsburgh Pirates 1B Michael Morse was designated for assignment Wednesday, April 13, and RP A.J. Schugel was selected from the minors in a corresponding move.
Fantasy Tip: Morse had a rough season in 2015 (.231 average, just five home runs), and he hasn't recovered since. His absence will mean more playing time off the bench for Sean Rodriguez, but Rodriguez isn't anything more than bench material in NL-only formats.

Pittsburgh Pirates OF Matt Joyce is leading off Tuesday, April 12, with 1B John Jaso out of the lineup. 1B Michael Morse is hitting eighth in place of Jaso at first base.
Fantasy Tip: Joyce is 5-for-18 (.278) with a homer and four RBIs against Anibal Sanchez and is worth the flyer again today in DFS. Morse is worth a cheap, low-end flyer as well.

Pittsburgh Pirates 1B Michael Morse (hamstring) is expected to sit out a few more games because of his hamstring injury.
Fantasy Tip: Morse is expected to be part of a platoon at first base when he is healthy. He will receive limited at-bats this season and probably should only be an option in NL-only leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates 1B/OF Michael Morse (hamstring) left the game Thursday, March 24, after clutching his hamstring on a slide into a base.

Mon, 22 Feb 2016 16:15:33 -0800
Pittsburgh Pirates 1Bs Michael Morse and John Jaso will platoon at first base this year, according to manager Clint Hurdle.
Fantasy Tip: Jaso is a fine target in NL-only and two-catcher leagues, mainly for his on-base skills and contact-oriented approach. His limited eligibility (DH) also drops his value in the majority of leagues. Morse is even less attractive in the same formats with declining power and contact rates.

Los Angeles — Broncos practice squad player Ryan Murphy was questioned by police and released Tuesday in relation to a prostitution sting, according to media outlets in the Bay Area.
The reports said he was not involved, but the team said in a statement it was sending him back to Denver.
The Broncos picked up Murphy, a safety, and added him to the practice squad in November. He was released by the Seattle Seahawks in September.
"Although practice squad safety Ryan Murphy was not cited by police, we decided it was best for the team if we continued our preparations for Super Bowl 50 without him. Ryan is returning to Denver but his status as a practice squad player has not changed at this time," Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said in a statement released by the team.
Reports said the sting was part of Santa Clara County's human trafficking task force and it took place in a part of north San Jose known for prostitution. It took place in a motel parking lot.
KPIX reported that police detained a suspected prostitute who said she needed to go back to a car to retrieve some property. The source in the report said Murphy and his brother were in the car. Murphy was questioned and released.
The suspected prostitute and Murphy's brother were cited, according to the report.
Murphy is from the Oakland area.

text: does anyone know if one exists yet? if not, could someone help me into getting one? i have tried to copy over a lot of the HTC Sense apk's and .odex files from my inspire, but none are working. i got the browser, calendar, and calculator to stop giving errors. but when you open them, they just freeze up and force close/wait - to no avail. i'm using CWM5 / CM7, and ES File explorer with root/write permissions to put them in the /system/app folder.

I was invited to take part in another whisky – or in this case whiskey – tweet tasting recently, but was unable to take part due to a last minute change of plans. I tried the usual suspects to see if they would like to take part but no one was free. Seeing as how I had the samples, and I said to the chaps at Walsh Whiskey that I would let them know what I thought, I thought I might as well to a wee tasting myself.
The tweet tasting included four samples supplied by Walsh Whiskey Distillery, if you have never heard of Walsh Whiskey then you may have heard of some of their bottlings, namely the Irishman and Writers Tears which have won several awards over recent years. They are an Irish company which only recently started producing their own whiskey, but they also have a range of blends, single malts and Pot Still bottlings that they sell while waiting on their own stuff maturing.
The tasting pack came with a folder including some distillery information and some information behind the whiskeys that we would be trying on the evening. The samples were as follows:
- Pot Still New Make Spirit – 75.5% ABV
- The Irishman 43% ABV
- Writers Tears Copper Pot 40% ABV
- Writers Tears Red Head 46% ABV
I tried to not look at my twitter feed before I had my wee sampling session as I like going into things blind and not be led by what others found in the drams, hopefully I'm not too far off the mark, so let's get to it!
Pot Still New Make -75.5% ABV:
In Ireland there are 3 main types of whisky produced. The first two, malt and grain whiskey, are quite common, the third is a little bit different and this is known as single pot still whiskey. Single pot still whiskey, as it sounds, is produced in a single pot still, the same style as those used for malt whiskey. The difference here though is that the mash bill will comprise of both malted and unmalted barley. This sample has come from the Pot still side of production at the Walsh distillery.
This is a very sweet and fruity character of new make, and very light as well, as a result of the triple distillation. The big thing that comes through on the nose here for me is apples and fresh berries – mostly brambles (black berries) for me – with a light suggestion of malt, and a lot of sugary sweetness. With time, baked apples, yoghurt coated raisins and bruised pears. There is remarkably little alcohol on the nose for how strong it is.
Well. There is the alcohol, and a strange bitterness too through the development. On the palate there isn't much to discuss, there is a bitter-sweet grassy note, again a touch of apple and thats about it. New make is always a strange thing to try; I've never been a big fan of drinking it. It is always very fruity and sweet on the nose, almost sickly sweet. Then on the palate it has a big blast of alcohol and the flavours are more driven by the grains used. There is good reason they lock this stuff away in a cask for years on end, it's drinkable, but not overly palatable.
The Irishman 12yo single malt – 43% ABV:
The Irishman is a single malt – back on familiar ground – that has been triple distilled and then matured in 1st fill Bourbon casks, meaning they have been used previously for the maturation of Bourbon in America and this is the first time that they have been used for the maturation of Irish whiskey. Being matured solely in first fill casks and being triple distilled I'm expecting some big cask influence to come through here.
It's quite unusual on the nose this one. The first thing that comes across to me is green apples, but not fresh apples, it's almost like a synthetic green apple sweet taste. This is accompanied with rich oak, demerara sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, vanilla and some coconut too, and strangely enough I think I can get strawberries here too. You can tell straight away that fresher casks have been used here as there are quite a few Bourbon-like characters coming through.
Wow, I've said it before and I'll say it again here, I hate using the word smooth in relation to whiskey but this just is, it is so smooth and light on the palate, its lovely. A good amount of spice comes through on the palate; there is some white pepper, nutmeg and again a slight sprinkling of cinnamon. Nuts are fairly prominent here too with coconut again and a fatty almond-like taste too, all with a good pasting of golden syrup over the top.
Writer Tears, Copper Pot – 40% ABV:
Copper pot is a blended Irish whiskey comprising of around 60% malt whiskey and 40% Pot still whiskey, no grain whiskey is used in this blend. All the content has been triple distilled and has again been matured in former Bourbon casks. This blend is sort of a remastering of an old recipe, known as the 'Champagne of Irish Whiskey', which is said to have been enjoyed by many writers in its day. It is said that they enjoyed drinking this so much that when they cried their tears would be Whiskey – alcoholics!
Like with what we have tried so far again apples are quite prominent, red apples this time. Plenty of sweetness too here with a lovely milk chocolateyness, salted caramel and a creamy vanilla custard. There are lots of fruits present too with nectarines, strawberry jam and kiwi fruit, as well as a pear cider-like smell. All finished off with milky porridge with drizzly honey on top.
More spice is present here with vanilla, ground dried ginger and cracked white pepper. The apples again come through with over ripe pears and dried orange. It is also quite woody on the palate with bitter tannins and a fair amount of drying woodiness, which is joined by the slightest touch of cask char through the development and bitter dark chocolate.
Writers Tears, Red Head – 46% ABV:
The final dram of what has been an excellent selection thus far. The Red Head is so named as it has been matured solely in Oloroso sherry casks, though to my eyes it isn't hugely darker than the other samples so I'm assuming it must be mostly refill sherry casks. Like the others this has also all been triple distilled but this one is again a single malt and not a blend like the Copper Pot.
It is definitely refill casks that they have used here and I think it's is just as well, the light character of Irish whiskey would be completely dominated by the use of first fill sherry casks resulting in you basically getting sherry, the fact that they have used refill casks means that it still actually tastes like whiskey as opposed to sherry, which personally, is what I want my whiskey to taste of! There is a gentle aroma of fruity Oloroso sherry with raisins, mixed peel and walnuts, as well as a nice sherry cask spiciness with ginger, cinnamon and cloves. There is a big note of pear drops to start with which over time merges with the other aromas creating a strange carrot cake-like nose.
The spice from the casks is much more robust here with a fiery ginger mouth feel accompanied by cinnamon sticks and crushed cardamom pods, as well as a drying sherry oak wood character. Dried fruits and mixed peel come through with baked apple pie and rum and raisin ice cream. The development becomes quite tannic but is lifted by a honey character which rides through to the finish.
Well. That was a lovely wee tasting. I wish so much that I had been able to take part in the actual tweet tasting as I'm sure it would have been a great night and it is interesting comparing notes with others. I must say a massive thank you to Steve Rush from the Whisky Wire and the good folk at Walsh Whiskey for providing the samples, and also apologise for not being able to take part in the night. I will definitely enjoy what's left of these samples and may have to look into getting a bottle of the Writers Tears Red Head, my definite favourite of the four.

The 31st annual Razzie Awards ceremony was held at Barnsdall Gallery Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 26, 2011.
The Razzie Awards are the only award show to honor the year's worst movies, in a satirical ceremony which is held each year, the night before the Oscars.
This year's big "winner" was M. Night Shyamalan's 3D Action fantasy, "The Last Airbender," which took home five Razzie Awards for 'Worst Picture,' 'Worst Supporting Actor' for Jackson Rathbone, 'Worst Director,' 'Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3-D,' and 'Worst Screenplay.' The critically panned chick flick sequel, "Sex and the City 2" also received a number of Razzie Awards for 'Worst Actress' for all four women in the ensemble cast (Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Kim Cattrall), 'Worst Screen Ensemble' and 'Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel.'
Ashton Kutcher earned a 'Worst Actor' Razzie for his roles in "Killers" and "Valentine's Day." While Jessica Alba won a 'Worst Supporting Actress' Razzie for her work in "The Killer Inside Me," "Little Fockers," "Machete" and "Valentine's Day."
The Razzies website says that the awards were created in 1980 "as a logical antidote to Tinsel Town's annual glut of self-congratulatory awards." The "winners" are determined by 637 voting members of The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation.
In past years, several celebrities have accepted their Razzie Awards in person, including Sandra Bullock, who won last year for 'Worst Actress' and 'Worst Screen Couple' for her movie, "All About Steve." Bullock took home a 'Best Actress' Oscar the following night for her work in "The Blind Side." Other celebrities who have accepted their Razzie Awards are Halle Berry ("Catwoman"), Bill Cosby ("Leonard Part 6") and Ben Affleck ("Daredevil," "Gigli," and "Paycheck").

A cute little diners at Pantai Indah Kapuk had caught my attention for a while since its opening in July. The very first reason of my curiosity was because of their appealing food pics on their FB page. One Monday afternoon I went there with my bestie and turns out they closed every Monday. What are the odds? So, several days ago, I finally able to satisfy my curiosity towards the place on a weekday dinner.
Twig offers western food although the options were not vary enough. They also serves selections on cupcakes and able to cater a personal cupcakes for birthday or other event. The place was very cute. All the interior dominated with white color, making the whole ambiance felt modern vintage, very sleek and chic. While the second floor was designed in sort of garden's cafe look a like. It was adorable. They also have a small boutique on the second floor named "Lost & Found". I didn't have the chance to check out the pieces as they were closed during my visit.
I love it how the menu came with booklet of the food pics. We decided to go with Stuffed mushroom (35k), Spaghetti aglio olio with prawn (38k) and BBQ spare ribs with barbeque sauce (95k). They used Gryphon tea for their tea selections and I ordered my self a cup of Marrakesh mint tea (22k).
The BBQ spare ribs came first and we were surprised with the very huge portion. We can opted whether we want our ribs to be with fries or butter rice, hubby went with butter rice. So, the ribs came in top of the butter rice accompanied with coleslaw. I must say, for 95k, it was one hell of a ribs. Very huge, tender and perfectly grilled. Even I who is not a fan of ribs kept on taking bites from hubby's plate.
A plate of spaghetti cooked in aglio alio way is always one of my comfort food whenever I felt confuse on what to eat. Most of the time, it never failed me but I didn't like theirs. Well, the seasoning was ok but I didn't like the way it cooked. Too mushy and wet for an aglio type. The stuffed mushroom was a bowl of 5pcs huge baked champignon mushroom stuffed with sauteed mushroom, chorizo sausage and cream cheese. Actually it was quite ok, I did like the stuffing but the baked mushrooms were too mushy. If only they baked it in a more crunchy kind of way would make it perfect.
After we finished with our meal, the owner approached us with a free tasting of cheese cakes. Well, I didn't eat it coz I don't eat cheese but my hubby said it was a good cheese cake. Moist and creamy. Overall, I love the ambiance of the place, it's such a comfy place to hang with your friends. I'll definitely be back to check out the desserts and have my self that huge ribs. :D

I've managed to make it this whole time without writing my first real estate related post. It was hard. When you think and do something everyday of your life you want to talk/write about it! I dream of real estate, I do it during the mornings, day and night. In my free time I am usually reading books on real estate or watching my boyfriends, The Property Brothers, on HGTV. I LOVE REAL ESTATE. (Incase you couldn't get what I was hinting at)
So you, my friends, are in luck because I am going to share with you some tips on purchasing (or renting! I'm not leaving you renters out!) a home that has kid friendly features. I realize that the type/price/style of home varies from area to area. For example, I live in a suburb that is new. If you live in my city and live in a home that is more than 10-15 years old, you are in the minority.
As time has gone on, styles of floor plans have evolved. If I'm showing a home to families in the old part of the city and the house is 100 years old, I know you probably won't find a bathroom on the main floor. Older homes will usually have a formal dining room as a separate room away from the kitchen. There was no such thing as an "open floor plan." Each room was compartmentalized. I LOVE this style of home. However, if you are a growing family, you may not. Homes built within the last 10 years are usually an open floor plan. It is dang hard to find a newer home that isn't. We'll get into the open floor plan style a little further down but I wanted to give you some examples on how house styles can change based on age and the area you live.
Here is my list of the top 5 things and features you need to think about when purchasing (or renting) a home for your family. I am writing this based on having sold many homes to young families and personal experience. We live in a modest 1,700 square foot home. It's not too large and not too small. Our home and the location of our home is very family friendly. The community center and park is just a few blocks away and is easily walkable. Within the next couple years we hope to upgrade to a much larger home but for now, it works for us.
1. Location. Location. Location.
I'm not just talking about a good neighborhood. You need to think about school districts. Make sure either you or your Realtor calls the school to confirm school zones haven't changed and it's in the district you want. Do you need the bus to come get the kids? Find out if the bus will come to the home or at the end of the street.
Secondly, where the home is actually located on the street is important. Cul-de-sacs and houses at the end of a street are a great location. At the entrance of a subdivision and neighborhood is generally a lot of traffic since every homeowner will be driving past your house to get to theirs. Corners with stop signs are a good options too since cars will be slowing down to stop.
You or your Realtor needs to check with the city's planning and zoning. Does your city have plans to build a shopping complex in the open grassy area behind your home? If so, you may want to reconsider.
2. Open Floor Plans
Open floor plans are very family friendly. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about open floor plan means the kitchen, dining room, and living room are open to each other.
Most newly renovated homes and newer construction homes will have open floor plans because that is the trend. If you are in the market for an older home only expect an open floor plan if the home has had a remodel. I do like that I can be cooking dinner and see my busy toddler playing in the living room the whole time and not worry about what he is getting into.
3. Split Floor Bedroom Floor Plans
Depending on the age of your kids and if you plan on having more may determine whether a split bedroom floor plan will work for your family. Here are examples of a split floor plan and a floor plan that isn't split. Split bedroom floor plan means the master bedroom is on the same side of the house as the other bedrooms.
Split floor plans are great for families with older children or children who don't wake frequently in the middle of the night. It cuts down on noise if you stay up late watching TV in your room and don't want the noise to be heard from the kid's room. We have a split floor plan home and generally love it. However, with a new baby coming along this floor plan wouldn't work as well so we are choosing to put our new baby's crib in the room with us so I don't need to cross the house every time she is hungry in the night.
Notice the master is right next to the other bedrooms. This is great for younger kids and nursing moms who do not bed share. You can easily hear your kids crying and it doesn't take more than a few steps to get into the room.
4. The Yard
This is probably an obvious one but it's very important when choosing a home. I think the most kid friendly yards are not too large, yet not too small. We live in a typical city sized lot which is about 1/4 acre. It's big enough for our son to have a swing set and play tee-ball yet it's isn't too big I loose sight of him. The BEST thing is a fenced in yard. I am able to stand at my kitchen sink finishing up dishes while our son is outside playing with the dog. I don't have to worry about his running to the neighbors yard or in the street. Fences are also nice because they hide a messy yard. I don't know about you but after a swing set, sand box, water tables, about 20 different ball our yard look like a hot mess. If the home you're looking at doesn't have a fence, make sure that if you want to put one in, your home owners association allows it.
5. Size
20+ years ago when people bought homes, they usually bought them for life. The National Association of Realtors released a statistic that the average family re-sells every 5 years. When you're buying a home it will be a good idea to think within that time frame. Where you're at in life with helps dictate what size home you will buy. If you're a brand new family or single parent just starting out a 2-3 bedroom home will work just fine. However if you live in a 3 bedroom home and enjoy having one bedroom used as a spare room, once you have two or more kids it can get cramped. If you plan on having multiple children in a shorter time frame you need to consider purchasing a home your family can grow into. It may be a good idea to purchase a larger home if you know you will have a larger family within the next 5 years. Keep in mind, several home loans require you stay in the home for a certain amount of years before re-selling. Buying a small home with the goal of selling within a year or two might not be the smartest move. Final word on this is base the size of your home on the size of your family and space you want within the next 5 years.
*** Keep in mind this post mainly speaks to families living in the suburbs or neighborhoods. These features will obviously vary if you live in an urban area or the country. Since I live and sell homes in suburbs and neighborhoods I can offer my advice and opinions based on my knowledge of real estate in those areas.***

DOT's Approach to Open Government
The Department of Transportation's Open Government Plan development process follows a strategic methodology designed to guarantee the creation of meaningful programs that will fulfill the Administration's stated goals of increasing transparency, participation, and collaboration between the Federal government and citizens.
DOT's Open Government methodology goes beyond simple compliance with the requirements issued in the OMB Open Government Directive from December 8, 2009. By adopting an approach that looks holistically at the current technology, policy, and cultural environments of the agency and actively soliciting and incorporating public feedback, DOT is creating a plan that will enable the agency to align Open Government initiatives with strategic objectives, mitigate the risks associated with transparency, and improve performance by embracing the use of emerging communications technologies to increase citizen involvement.
DOT Open Government Framework
The Open Government Initiative represents a significant shift in the way federal agencies conduct business and engage with the public. DOT has adopted a comprehensive lifecycle management approach to help plan and implement the business process transformations required to achieve the Open Government initiatives. The DOT Open Government Framework, shown below, includes the program lifecycle phases, crucial areas of assessment, and the key players involved in the planning and executing of Open Government efforts.
DOT's Open Government Framework includes:
Comprehensive management process spanning entire programmatic lifecycle from the initial assessment and planning phases to performance measurement and processes improvement
Method for identifying, understanding, and addressing DOT's technology, policy, and cultural issues in relation to specific Open Government initiatives
Key technology areas of focus: security, infrastructure, tools, Enterprise Architecture, and current Open Government pilots and programs
Key policy areas of focus: strategic planning, performance, legal, internal directives, acquisition, and privacy
Key culture areas of focus: employee readiness, communication channels, agency stakeholders, and existing public collaboration vehicles
DOT recognizes that the Open Government Initiative is about more than tools and technology. By carefully considering the factors within the technology, policy, and culture "trinity" that relate to each of the agency's Open Government initiatives, the DOT is creating an Open Government plan that is comprehensive and flexible enough to ensure success and mitigate risks throughout the program lifecycle.
Key Players
DOT's Open Government Framework also guides the determination of who should be involved in realizing Open Government initiatives. The grey ring in Figure 2 indicates key employee groups that have expertise in specific technology, policy, and cultural areas of focus.
In order to tap into tacit knowledge within the agency and ensure mitigation of downstream challenges, the DOT created an interdisciplinary, department-wide leadership, planning, and execution team to help achieve its Open Government goals. DOT is utilizing the Chief Information Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Project Managers for key mission areas, and Public Affairs, Human Relations, and Policy Development staff as subject matter experts in the leadership and planning of Open Government efforts.
Below is an organizational chart showing the working groups, steering committees, and executive sponsors that DOT has established to develop and implement the Open Government Plan. The technology, policy and culture working groups have regular cross-functional interaction to ensure those critical areas do not become stove piped throughout the planning process. The working groups will likely meet on an on-going basis after the Open Government Plan is submitted in order to implement the action items within the plan. The sub-groups in Figure 3 have been convened to address specific requirements in the Open Government Directive, and will likely dissolve quickly after those planning items are completed. The subgroups are comprised of subject matter experts in each requirement area: declassification, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), congressional requests for information, and records management.

Solicitation of Public Comment
To ensure maximum citizen collaboration in the formulation of the Open Government Plan, the DOT is providing opportunities for public comment via the GSA Citizen Engagement Tool and the DOT Open Government email address.
- GSA Citizen Collaboration Tool:
- General Service Administration (GSA) IdeaScale Citizen Engagement Tool
- Allows public to submit ideas for inclusion in plan, vote and comment on ideas, flag ideas as off-topic, share ideas with friends via email or social media channels, and view ideas that have been incorporated
- Launch date early February; all comments submitted through early March will be considered in development of the plan
- DOT Open Government Email Address:
- Citizens email feedback will be monitored daily by representatives from across DOT's Office of the Secretary and Operating Administrations
The DOT Open Government methodology is focused, comprehensive, and flexible. Following this framework will allow the DOT to identify the key transformation planning steps, analyze and address the relevant technology, policy, and cultural elements, incorporate public feedback, and get the right people involved in Open Government efforts from the very beginning – helping to create a plan that will truly change the way the Department of Transportation interacts with citizens.

Charleston, SC (AP) - Newt Gingrich has canceled a campaign appearance in South Carolina because of poor attendance.
The Republican presidential candidate was scheduled to speak to the Southern Republican Leadership on Friday. But a campaign spokesman told reporters that he would no longer be appearing due to poor attendance.
There were just a few dozen people in the audience at the College of Charleston's arena, where the event was taking place. The conference has suffered from low attendance all week but Gingrich rival Rick Santorum went ahead and addressed the group on Thursday.
Gingrich's spokesman said skipping the stop would give the former House speaker more time at his next scheduled event, a tour of a children's hospital.

Notre Dame fans in Chicago planning a trip to El Paso for this year's Sun Bowl shouldn't include the nearby Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez in their travels, officials warn.
Sun Bowl officials are discouraging fans from traveling to Juarez because, as a battleground of drug-related violence, it has become one of the most dangerous cities in the world, with nearly 3,000 murders this year. Previously, Juarez had been a popular destination among Sun Bowl visitors.

Cat's Whiskers is native to both South-east Asia & Northern Australia.
Leaves can be used fresh, or dried as an infusion or decoction and are quite distinctive in flavour and aroma.
As Java Tea it is used in traditional medicine most especially for kidney complaints, as a tea made from the leaves has diuretic properties.
As a garden herb it is quite easy to grow and very showy when in flower.
It is tolerant of most climates but we have found it very frost tender, so a sheltered position is best, although it does prefer full sun for at least half of the day.
Some plants are planted seasonally, as their nature demands.
These will therefore only be available while they last, as we try not to plant more than will survive in a condition appropriate to be mailed out with the greatest chance of survival.
If we are out of stock (especially annuals), we will not be planting until the time is right for the particular plant, once again.
This may be up to 8 months, depending on the plant.
Seed is now available only from our new, secure shop at AustralianGardener.net.au
Degree of difficulty in germination.....8/10 (1 is easy - 10 very difficult) Seasonal
Seedlings and Potted Plants are available on our Nursery website


text: As you guys know that on ebay everyone uses the same dropshippers and since your competition is a click away it is easy for a potential customer to simply compare prices and buy from the lowest source. This results in cut throat competition. Does anyone have a solution where you can buy in low quantities or single items and still make money. Whether you contact the manufacturers abroad or find some other way, etc. I would interested in knowing what solutions you guys have.

Another device manufacturer has expanded the range of options for parents who want to give their children their very own tablet. LG, the South Korea-based electronics giant is offering the Kids Pad for 299,000 won or around US $276. As compared to other tablets selling in the United States by companies like Archos, Ematic, Oregon Scientific, Nabi, and Vinci, the price of the LG Kids Pad is steeper.
In terms of features, the tablet comes with its own app store where kids can obtain safe content. These apps are educational in nature and cover various areas such as science, mathematics, and language. Apart from this, parents can purchase cartridges of content for the tablet.
The Kids Pad is made for children between the ages 3 to 7 and is deemed by LG to be safe for their use. The company has performed drop tests on the device as well as ensured that it is made of non-toxic materials. To protect the eyes of its young users, LG has also incorporated a light sensor that instantly adjusts the brightness of the tablet's display according to the ambient light. Furthermore, to make the device last longer, it also has a feature that automatically turns off after a specific period of time. This ensures parents that their children do not overuse the device. It likewise saves the battery from getting drained.
Meanwhile, information about its technical specifications are scarce at the moment. From the company's press release, it was only mentioned that the Kids Pad is equipped with a built-in camera as well as an mp3 player.
It is unlikely that the LG Kids Pad will make its way to the United States. If it does, however, it will face some tough competition from tablets that have much lower prices.
With this device, LG hopes to let children become familiar early on with devices that will aid to their learning.

As part of a module, we took part in a copywriting workshop, led by Drummond Central, which saw us explore existing examples of copywriting as well as different ways to generate ideas and create good copywriting.
We were each given a celebrity name for which we had to write a lonely-hearts advert. The trick was to be clever with our copy so as to give small hints as to the identity of the celebrity and not give it away within the first sentence. My lonely-hearts advert was as follows –
"Forty-nine year old male who stands out from a 'Few Good Men'. Seeking younger female for 'Risky Business' and possibly 'Endless Love'. Has 'All The Right Moves' and is an all-round 'Top Gun'. Up for a 'Cocktail' both 'Knight & Day'. Is this 'Mission: Impossible'? Suri not…"
The celebrity assigned to me was Tom Cruise.
I found the exercise useful because it highlighted the importance of being as creative as possible with just words. The lonely-hearts advert was read aloud to the group so it also stressed the importance of tone of voice and how large a role that played too. It opened my eyes to the relevance and significance of copy and that advertising is not reliant on strong visuals alone.

...and celebration.
At last, peace must come to the United States Congress, as the recalcitrant Republican Party opposition has relented for the payroll tax cut measure to pass through the House of Representatives and to become law.
President Barack Obama has been insisting that the legislation would help the nation's slow economy; and also, if not passed, it would bring an increase in the tax burden of ordinary working men and women at the very beginning of 2012.
A bill was passed by the U.S. Senate, with an overwhelming majority; but the Republican controlled House was reluctant to follow its (Senate's) example and to pass it for the president to sign it into law.
The members of the House have been dancing around the issue or even attempting to kill the legislation, but for public opinion against such a move, they agreed to finally pass the bill.
The Speaker of the House John Boehner announced at a press conference that the House would do so today, Friday, Dec. 23rd, 2011. They, House members, have blinked in the confrontation with the Obama administration, and now, the way was clear for the measure to materialize.
There was jubilation around the country, as according to the White House, 160 million Americans would have tax rates reduced, so that they would have more spending money in their pay checks.
It was even pandemonium in some places, because of the extension of the payroll tax cut instituted by the Obama administration was about to expire, and that would force workers to pay, as said before, more in taxes, rather than the millionaires and billionaires in the country paying their fair share in taxes.
They were the ones that the Republicans were protecting, that as job creators, they should not have tax increases in a slow economic recovery.
However, when the news came out that they (Republicans) would give in to Obama's demands, millions of people were elated, and that would include those, who were unemployed and would not have had their unemployment benefits time extended, a provision attached to the payroll tax cut bill, if it (bill) was not passed.
The relief has been tremendous all around the nation, and people were celebrating the good piece of news that has come around the Holiday season that, at least, they would not see any tax increase as early as Jan. 2012.
The country needs an opposition, but it has to be a constructive one. Also that the Republicans in Congress must learn to compromise, because most of their actions were hurting the nation, its workers and particularly, its economy.
They must rethink their opposition, which has an underlying racial connotations; perhaps, because the president happened to be African American.
Wait till he sees just how much the logistics to the accounting and payroll industry nit to mention the extra costs to the IRS this will create. I bet it will cosat the government more money that the people will save for the year. Not to mention all the new tax fees when purchasing a house.
I don't get this? You are praising the Dems and ranting on the Pubs? The Republicans wanted this tax break for one year! The Democrats wanted it for only 8 weeks? Seems the entire country is down on the Pubs for this and are putting the Democrats on a pedestal for what? A lousy 8 weeks?...........who cares more for the American people in this story?

Dorothy Arzner (1897 – 1979)
BIOPIC-WORTHY BECAUSE: One of the few female directors working steadily in the Golden Age of Hollywood (the late 1920s to the late 1950s) was also linked romantically with some of the biggest female stars; was the first person to be professionally credited as an editor onscreen; wore ties and vests to work on the set; and created the prototype for the boom microphone.
She was also the first woman to be inducted into the Director's Guild of America.
And you thought Ellen DeGeneres was the hardest working woman in Hollywood.
Dorothy Arzner
THE SUPPORTING CAST: In her 15-year career as a director, Arzner made 17 films (three of them silent) and worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. She secured actress Clara Bow's standing as the "It Girl" as she transitioned from silent films to talkies in The Wild Party (1929), butted heads with Katharine Hepburn on the set of Christopher Strong (1933), became fast friends with Joan Crawford on The Bride Wore Red (1937).
When she wasn't breaking ground for female directors (and editors) in Hollywood, Arzner was tending her 40-year long relationship with dancer and choreographer Marion Morgan.
Dorothy Arzner and Marion Morgan
On the other hand, Arzner was widely rumored to have had affairs with some of the best known actresses in Hollywood, including Billie Burke (Glenda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz) and bisexual Russian star Alla Nazimova (most famously of Salome and herself a good candidate for a bio pic).
SHOULD STAR: In I Shot Andy Warhol, Lili Taylor as raging lesbian feminist Valerie Solanas proved she can rock butch clothes and attitude (not to mention a Newsie cap), and she excels at playing stalwart iconoclasts. It's been too long since we've had the chance to see her in full force, and the Arzner biopic would be a perfect fit.
Lili Taylor
As she was largely regarded as a "woman's director" (go figure), an Arzner biopic offers the rare opportunity to cast a feature with many supporting roles for women. Our casting choices include:
Brittany Murphy as sassy Brooklyn girl Clara Bow:
Natalie Portman as young and headstrong Katharine Hepburn:
Amy Adams as triple-threat superstar Lucille Ball:
The impervious Denise Richards as the impervious Joan Crawford:
PLOT POINTS: The film should open with some foreshadowing, with a young Arzner serving lunch to the celebrities who frequent her father's German restaurant in Los Angeles. She goes to medical school at USC, but drops out to serve overseas in World War I, taking the only job permitted to women at the time: ambulance driver.
When she returns to the U.S., she meets film director William C. DeMille and is inspired to pursue a career as a director. She makes a few fortuitous connections, lands a job as a writer and is quickly promoted to the position of film editor by the age of 25.
Arzner impresses her peers and is promoted to director, directing two other hit films before helming Paramount's first "talkie," The Wild Party. The film stars silent film star Clara Bow, a beautiful starlet whose thick Brooklyn accent has never been heard by her movie fans. With her star terrified about making the transition from silent films, Arzner taps her handy dyke side and creates a portable microphone using a fishing pole. The invention (later evolving into the modern boom mic) makes Bow's job easier, and the film is a huge success for them both.
Clara Bow expresses her gratitude to Dorothy Arzner
Depression-era pay cuts at Paramount incent Arzner to go freelance, and she lands a job directing Christopher Strong (1933). Arzner clashes with her star, Katharine Hepburn, who plays a very, um, androgynous looking aviator. Hepburn complains to the studio, they refuse to fire Arzner, and the two have to work it out. Was sexual tension the underlying problem? We'll probably never know.
Arzner goes on to direct a slew of hit films, including Craig's Wife (in 1936 and starring rumored lover Billie Burke), The Bride Wore Red (1937) starring Joan Crawford and Burke again, Dance, Girl, Dance (1940), starring Lucille Ball and Maureen O'Hara.
In 1943, Arzner helps the war effort by directing training films for the (notoriously lesbian-heavy) U.S. Army's Women's Army Corps (WACs), but is soon is diagnosed with pneumonia. The illness takes her career off-track, and by the time she's well enough to work again, the post-War employment drought for women has taken root in Hollywood too. Arzner is forced into retirement and adapts by teaching at USC, where one of her students is future Godfather auteur Francis Ford Coppola.
TAKE A POPCORN BREAK: In addition to teaching at USC, Arzner also supplements her income by directing Pepsi commercials thanks to the help of old friend Joan Crawford (then married to the chairman of PepsiCo).
While it might be fun to watch Richards as Crawford visit the set and terrorize production assistants (all the while sipping demurely from a bottle of Pepsi), it's downright depressing to see that the feature film window closed so quickly (and unfairly) on the brilliant Arzner.
SHOULD BE DIRECTED BY: Mary Harron directed Taylor in I Shot Andy Warhol and in another biopic, The Notorious Bettie Page. She has just the right blend of cynicism and admiration to capture the beauty, sophistication, and sexism of the Old Hollywood system.

Quality production - gorgeous videography
M. Moll | SantRosa CA | 03/16/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The Living Landscapes series is one of highest quality productions I have seen in the genre.
The dvd clearly states that the video is interwoven with music, and I do agree with the reviewer in that I love the option of having nature sounds only, music, or both together on a dvd. Even though this is not an option on this series. the music is well done, and fits well with the scenery.
I took the time to ask the producer of this series to add this option for future releases, as there are some exciting titles coming up like The African Savannah and The Swiss Alps. Some of the videos are shot in time lapse, which makes the sequencing of natural sounds difficult, but I was told that this would be a feature that would be added in the future.
I am hoping this will be so, but on that Afican title I want some music that will match the modd of the title for a different experience as well.
The scenery is breathtaking, and it is a guaranteed escape to a place that most of us can only dream of seeing in person. It is well produced, and a true treat.

"Living landscapes, includes the sounds of vehicles passing by and people talking, just for a few minutes, but those few minutes kill the mood and comfort of the whole point of the visuals and sounds of this film."
Definitely Not for Action fans
Garry McGonigle | Ottawa, KS USA | 01/17/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Other than for minor issues with resolution 1080 down to 720p, an outstanding view of the Olympic Rainforest, including the Hoh. If nature and quiet rain or the sound of waterfalls at HD bores you to tears, go to something like "The Dark Knight". If peaceful green and soft raindrops are more your style, get this for your Blu-ray player and HD TV."
Qwho51 | Bonita, ca USA | 01/02/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have a good number of nature video dvd's, Let me say that with this Bluray edition of Olympic Rainforest a very interesting thing occurred not that long ago.
Some weeks ago while So. California was in the midst's of one of the fabled Santa Ana heat waves I popped this beautiful disc into my home theater, punched up 5.1 surround and began to walk the rainforest when I realized that I was experiencing a physical reaction of it becoming cooler in the room. Watching the rain dripping off of fern tips and the fog and mists wafting through the air was having a real psychological and physiological effect on me. Coupled with the music and natural sound effects of dripping water, running water, it was just pure enjoyment. The videography is simply artful. It is a real treat to walk the paths through this amazing natural wonder. I highly recommend this dvd but you must get the BluRay versions or HDDVD if you have a player. Treat yourself to a feast of the senses. It's beauty at a walking pace. Enjoy the immersion."

Thank you for visiting our past auction result archives. If you have an item identical (or similar) to this auction lot, please call, write or contact us to discuss. We will be able to help you.
Lot # 449 (of 1641) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Two 1933 R319 Goudey #160 Lou Gehrig Color Process Proof Cards
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $3,851
Offered are two unique color process proofs of card #160 Lou Gehrig. One proof is a blue-and-white color process card of Gehrig, with the type setting "Lou Gehrig" along the top right and the copyright logo in the lower right. The second proof card is a near complete color process, with a blue background and "Big League Chewing Gum" advertising strip along bottom, but missing all black type. As is always the case with color process proof cards, each has a blank back. Collectors are used to seeing printer's proofs for relatively modern sets, but examples from classic vintage sets such as Goudey are virtually nonexistent. These cards were originally part of two complete 24-card Goudey color process sheets discovered in the early 1980s, which at that time were professionally cut so that they could be displayed in pairs. Today these pairs rarely surface. These are the only Goudey color process cards of Lou Gehrig (#160) known to exist. Both proof cards are in Near Mint condition. An extraordinary and unique pair of color process cards, used by Goudey's printer for proofing during the production process of Goudey's classic 1933 series. Both encapsulated "Authentic" by SGC. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,500+.
