3 Acre Lot in Kohala Ranch
Property Details
$199,900 | 3.08 ac land
It's time to come look at this beautiful property.
Kohala Ranch is a private gated subdivision on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island. The Heathers section is the closest to the ocean or lowest in the community and boasts ideal climate with spectacular ocean, Maui, and whale watching views.
At Kohala Ranch you will find underground utilities already brought to each lot, paved streets, a private water system and a guardhouse at the lower gate.
Your horses are welcome on the trail system throughout the entire 4,000 acre Kohala Ranch community, where cattle still graze freely.
This three acre lot is on a quiet cul-de-sac street of nice homes and has a gentle uphill slope with a gulch to the southern boundary for added interest and privacy from the neighbors. The lot location offers Kohala coastline, ocean and sunset views year round and offers a choice of building locations. Homes are already built on both sides and across the street from this lot, so you can be assured that those views will last.
Sellers have already had a topographic survey completed and had designed a house for the upper building site. While plans are not available with the lot, a buyer could work with the architect who designed the house to cut months off design and approval processes.
Quality shopping, restaurants, schools and medical services are nearby in Waimea. The fine beaches of the Kohala Coast and resort golf courses and amenities are a short drive away. Kohala Ranch residents have easy access to both with gated entrances at both the bottom (Highway 270) and top (Highway 250) of the subdivision.

Time Travel: The Sequel
Web posted on November 03, 2016
By Les Enekes
Now that the little extortionists have come and gone, it's involuntary time travel weekend. They expect us to turn the clock back by one hour on Sunday morning. The sooner they do away with this absurdity the better. As we spend most of the year on Daylight Savings Time, I would not object to keeping it all year. Unfortunately, this would mean that it would dark later in the mornings, thus possible problems with kids going to school in the dark. Staying on Standard Time would present it's own set of issues such as really early daylight and short evenings. (great for the drive-in movie industry) There is nothing simple or easy about this.
Back in March I gave you what I thought would be a short history of time keeping. Well it seems that I was wrong. As I started to do some research for this column, I came to the conclusion that I could have more sequels than the Space Opera series of your choice. If you are in desperate need of a headache just type the word "month" into your favourite search engine.
Time and time keeping are not as simple as I mentioned back in March. The more I looked into it the more complex and convoluted it became. That doesn't even count Einstein's theory of General Relativity. You know, where time slows down as you approach the speed of light. (It also slows down when one is at a boring event, or reading my rants about time change.) This might be a good time stock up on your favourite analgesic.
Let's take a look at our months. You would think that determining a lunar month would be simple. Do we start it from new moon, or full moon? It could also be counted from the closest point in it's orbit, or the furthest point. It could also be the first visible crescent moon. Unfortunately the moon orbits the earth in just under 28 days. Therefore we need to have months with extra days so that out time keeping sort of matches our orbit around the sun. Thus we have to put up with leap years. Even the rotation of our planet conspires to make time keeping a real pain. We have to keep adding leap seconds to the atomic clocks every so often.
Arguments could be made that this proves that there was no Creator (God or Deity of your choice). On the other hand, it could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Creator has a truly warped sense of humour.
Just about every culture developed their own calendars based mostly on the moon. Some people used the changing seasons based on the sun's position in the sky. Many cultures still use some variation of lunar calendars to determine their year and religious holidays. Just look at what our Georgian calendar did to mess up the timing of Christmas and Easter. Some people still use the Julian calendar.
Next we have the names of our months. There was lot of tinkering with the names and even adding months to honour certain Roman Emperors. Thus giving us what used to be the seventh to tenth months (September to December) of the year, are now the ninth to the twelfth months of the year. Our ancestors couldn't leave well enough alone.
Then there is the arbitrary numbering of the years. Again, most cultures had ways of counting the years with some sort of starting point. We couldn't even get our current system right, because there is debate as to the actual year of Jesus' birth.
Just thought of the perfect way of driving Dr. Who around the bend. Ask him to explain our current time keeping situation.
Compared to what we have done to time keeping in the past, changing our clocks by one hour in the spring and fall could almost be considered trivial.
My solution is quite simple, don't wear a watch. I use clocks as only suggestions! I remain on Curmudgeon Standard Time all year.
I gave a lot of thought to creating a Curmudgeonian Calendar, but came to the conclusion that watching the American election, or banging my head against a brick wall would be far less painful. All sorts of suggestions have been made in the past to try to make sense of our calendars, some rather whacky at best. So if you will excuse me, I will go watch Hillary and Donald scream at each other and
Wait a minute, perhaps all those people got it wrong about their predictions about the end of the world. It could very well happen when one of them gets elected president and it really doesn't matter which one. I am sure that someone out there will come up with some obscure prediction or passage that they will twist totally out of context just to prove that there was a prediction about those two. Where is Jessie Ventura (remember the former governor of Minnesota and former professional wrestler?) when they need him the most? By comparison he is positively middle of the road, quite normal, and mostly harmless. The good news is that it will be all over next Tuesday. The bad news is that the next campaign starts on Wednesday.
I will be back in a few short months with more thoughts about time unless......
This weekend also starts the bazaar season with one up in Fergus. Most locations still call them Christmas Bazaars, and I plan to visit as many as possible over the next few weeks. I will be avoiding the ones that call them by any other name such as "winter" or "holiday." I can accept the term craft bazaar, if there are limited commercial vendors. It gets rather tiresome to see the same direct sales companies such as Avon at almost every location. The whole point of going to bazaars is to find that one of a kind home made item that makes for the perfect gift, and to avoid the malls. Support our local bazaars and get gifts with some meaning, not something that came from a sweat shop on the other side of the world.

At Denver Regulation, you could have quite a few ways to take part in experiential learning alternatives and to gain sensible data. I shared the story of my failed interview lunch with my Crucial Race Concept students yesterday as a result of yesterday, on my first day of sophistication, it was very warm in the seminar room. Although I had tried to lower the thermostat, the room continued to swelter as the minutes passed. Once I finally concluded that I would have to take away my jacket, I self-consciously regarded all the way down to verify that my shirt was not torn, although I knew that it was not. I instructed the story in a light-hearted method, but my chagrin at having worn that ragged blouse, all these years ago, is unending. That seemingly small matter unmade me professionally in some ways, and I have been continually engaged within the re-making ever sense.
"Sensible Law is a "should have" service. The apply notes, articles and updates include all the information I have to have at my fingertips, packaged succinctly. Their assets cut to the chase. Each Friday morning, the very first thing I do is test for their weekly e mail as I know it would have key insights I can use. As an in-home lawyer who is constantly bombarded from all sides and has little or no time to spare, Practical Regulation is the service I flip to.
Historically, the reduce score was set by the bar exam committee, but in July the California Supreme Court amended the rule, giving it the authority to set the passing score. In February, the court directed the state bar—an administrative arm of the judiciary—to do a collection of comprehensive bar examination studies, including reduce rating assessment.

I am testing out windscreens which will give the best audio output for you guys. Please comment with which one sounds the best to you. Thank you for the help!
2 Fuzzy
3 No screen
I vote for the MOVO. To me it sounds the best.
I can't really tell the difference between 1 and 2 but they both sounded best of all.
3 had more of a hiss and the AC was most noticeable. 4 was better than 3 but not as good as 1 or 2.
MOVO sounds the cleanest
I agree with the others, the MOVO does sound cleaner and perhaps, more authentic and warm – If you will? I would like to ask though that you don't give up on coming up with a good name for the fuzzy one. 😉

A Sexy Smoldering Bronze Look for Grown A$@ Women (GAWs)
As my dear sweet sister Marina always says erbody ain't able. After much delay I have for you a delicious, smokey, bronzey look with grown women (40+) in mind. Nothing against the younger set as I happen to be in that bracket. But much like Mrs. Robinson many women adopt a sense of confidence and security that is in a different bracket after 40. Unfortunately that is also when some of the unfortunate effects of gravity begin to take place. That does not mean however that a woman should feel any less sexy or not wear the hottest trends of the season as she matures. It just means there needs to be a few modifications so as not to accentuate her acquired wisdom (wrinkles).
Now of course as you may have noticed I have coined a special term for "grown women." Terms like older and mature are insulting and not equally applied to men. Enter, Grown Ass Women or GAWs. A GAW does not apologize for her opinion. She has experienced life and has likely been responsible for the development of some miniature humans. She has worked hard for less money and dealt with sexism and misogyny with a smile. I love GAWs, if I had been straight I would have TOTALLY been into a cougar.
So consider this my tribute to those wonderful women who are our sisters, cousins, mothers and grandmothers. Because moving through life is no reason not to feel sexy. I have also chosen a convenient and lovely compact from Urban Decay (UD) to make achieving this look even easier. You can purchase your very own compact here.
The colors I used from left to right are as follows:
1. Virgin
3. Naked
5. Buck
6. Half Baked
10. Hustle
First apply the Urban Decay Primer Potion, which is included with the compact in a sample size, from lash to brow. You can use your finger or a synthetic brush it won't effect the application either way. As I have mentioned in a previous post, applying your shadow prior to foundation or concealer can prevent fallout. Fallout is DISASTROUS for a GAW as it can make her look tired when she isn't. Granted she might be but half the point of makeup is to look well rested right?
Now there is a good bit of fuss about shimmer or frosted shades for GAWs so let me weigh in on that. You ABSOLUTELY can wear them but it's how and where you place them that make all the difference. Super shimmery shades should be on the lid or tear duct ONLY as they can accentuate wisdom. Lightly frosted (satin) shades are perfect for blending in the crease or the lash line. The reduced shimmer in these finishes give a nice glow without accentuating wisdom. Finally whatever your age I HATE high frosted shadow as the brow highlight with few exceptions. Those exceptions are fantasy looks, Jersey Shore makeovers and Totally Eighties parties.
Now stepping of the Dove Soapbox and back to the look. Take a synthetic brush and place a cream gold shadow across your lid. I used Makeup Forever's Gold 004 Flash Color. It is VERY sparkly so focus the product on the lid only.
Now take a flat shadow brush like the MAC 212, and pack the Urban Decay Shadow Half Baked onto the lid over the MU4EVR shadow base. Again stay focused on the lid with this super shimmery shade. The payoff is a gorgeous and sexy shimmer that doesn't overwhelm and looks great with any eyecolor.
The easiest way to get an instant smokey eye is to line the lashes and smudge out the liner with eyeshadow. Fortunately the naked compact includes two of UD's iconic 24/7 water proof eyeliners. With waterproof products you can have a full face by the pool or on the beach.....ya know if you are just too type A to wear a pair of sunglasses. Nonetheless these liners live up to their name let me tell you. So take the shade whiskey and glide it along your upper and lower lash line.
Using a pencil brush, I used MACs 219, smudge UD shadow Hustle into the liner. You should probably do this pretty quickly after lining so that the liner smudges prior to setting. As you can see the smokey bronzey goodness begins to emerge!
This tip has always been my secret weapon to brighten up the eyes. A light and frosty shade right on the tear duct. This trick will work well into your eighties and will always make you look more rested. Here I have applied UD's Virgin with a tiny synthetic brush. Feel free to insert whatever joke you like about the name of the shade...lord knows I did.
Using your favorite fluffy brush, mine is the MAC 224, blend the UD shade Buck into the crease. This is a matte shade that you can't use too much of. It gives a nice soft blend and contrasts nicely with all the shimmer.
Now unfortunately this compact does not have a very good matte highlighter. That said everyone should have a good matte flesh toned or off white highlighting shade. Here I used a Prescriptives shade but would recommend MAC's Blanc Type, or Ben Nye's Toast. So using a large flat shader brush blend your highlighter from the brow down to your contour shade.
I mentioned in a previous post about tight lining. This is not for everyone and can make your eyes look small. It's best to experiment yourself and see what works for you. Successful tight lining will make your lashes look thicker and a smokey look SMOLDERING. I used a basic flat lining brush and black gel liner on the upper and lower water line.
Here I used the UD shade Naked and the MAC 266 angled brush to fill in my brows. As a general rule a GAW should go for a soft brow like this one. Overly defined or overly plucked brows can look harsh or masculine, and while you might love her art no one wants to look like Frida Kahlo. Finally curl your lashes and coat a few times with your favorite mascara and you are ready to take on the world!
As always feel free to suggest any look you would like to see or to pose any makeup question you would like answered. Thanks y'all and ENJOY!

The Bluepenciler
60-cent beer
A large, pale yellow moon seemed to teeter on the very top of Green Mountain east of Noxon one recent evening. It wasn't quite full, but was close enough for me to exclaim to Sandy and Chris, "Check out that full moon!"
They both turned in their chairs and looked. From where we sat in the waning daylight, Green Mountain's brownish summit (made so by the fire that burned there two summers ago) and the moon perched there were framed between the aspens, a spruce and the Norwegian maple occupying my backyard.
No one said anything. Each of us, momentarily lost in our own thoughts, were mesmerized by the celestial body perched on the rim of the Clark Fork Valley like a king surveying his domain from the high ramparts of a castle. It crossed my mind that it would've been a good night to be up in the mountains, high among those ramparts, following the king on his royal promenade across the heavens. But I also knew it would be cold because of the deep snow lingering there, and with that thought a shiver ran through me. I shifted in my seat and bumped the already wobbly folding card table around which we were clustered.
It was almost disastrous. Three bottles of beer did their own teetering dance before we were able to bring them under control. It was a close call.
Really, though, it wouldn't have been that disastrous. Chris and I were drinking cheap beer; about 60 cents a bottle. Sandy may have been a bit more dismayed had his Henry Weinhardt's Dark Ale plummeted to the ground. But the commotion brought us all back to earth where we then commented to one another about the beauty of the moon, the melody whispering quietly in the aspen leaves overhead and my long, clumsy legs.
We decided to move the table over by the burn pile waiting to be set afire. And then a real disaster did happen. Sandy and I weren't quite well enough coordinated to negotiate a small hump rising from the grass and a table leg caught on it. The resulting tilt of the table top dumped almost everything onto the ground, including the open containers of dip and salsa. Thankfully we had our beers in hand, but I personally felt the salsa was a much bigger loss.
The ants have had picnics there every single day since.
We lit the fire, roasted hot dogs, popped the tops on a few more of those 60-cent bottles, and well into the gathering darkness we talked. Sometimes the conversation was serious and sometimes it wasn't. What did we talk about? Women, for sure. I remember that part. But who knows what else? It was the easy, comfortable kind of conversation common among friends. We were simply three guys drawn together by fire, food and the moon bringing about a casual end to an otherwise busy day.
Sandy, whom I've known since he was on the or-so side of 40 and is now 50, is a native of this valley. Chris, a young fellow pushing 23, I've known since his mom cradled him as an 8-month old baby in her arms. That was in 1981, in Canewdon, a tiny village in the southeast corner of Essex about 35 miles east of London.
Yes, he's British. Sandy's a Montanan, born and bred. I'm a transplant from Virginia, still referred to as a Commonwealth, insinuating some sort of allegiance to the British Crown, even after more than two centuries and a war for independence.
Our backgrounds vary about as much as the topography above which the moon marched that night in its nonchalant trek through the sky. Yet there we were, hailing from different corners of the globe, in the same space at the same time, divergent paths crossing at least for an evening, sharing a moment of our lives in a way you only do with friends.
I count myself lucky to have friends. They aren't automatic, you know. You have to earn them. Friendship must be cultivated and it grows only as you reach out in friendship yourself.
I often feel I've not earned the friends I have. I'm not a particularly good cultivator of friendship. A bumper sticker in Toby's Tavern says, "A friend in need is a pain in the ass." On rare occasions I recognize the pain I can be and have been. Yet I still have some wonderful friends.
Two of them stood by me that night round the burn pile, hot dogs on a stick roasting over the glowing coals, talking about life and love, or maybe just talking nonsense, tipping back 60-cent bottles of beer. Good thing friendship isn't measured by the quality of the brew.
It can be measured, though, by the quality of the moments one spends in the presence of others. And maybe by how one reacts to disasters like spilled salsa. How did Sandy, Chris and I react? We roasted hotdogs and drank cheap beer beneath a near-full moon. It was a good fire with a couple of good friends.

In Year 5 and Year 6, geography is taught by the lower school teachers and follows into year 7 and 8. Topics are introduced at KS2, such as the study of coasts, earthquakes and energy, as well as an introduction to location and place. At KS3 students further their knowledge and understanding of human and physical geography in the study of map skills, overpopulation, natural resources and development.
Students will complete an independent half-termly project, which aims to enthuse and engage them with their learning and is based on the topics that they are studying.

Dwayne Johnson posted a video on his official Instagram announcing the casting members and praising his strong friendship with John Cena. Johnson openly talked about his days back in classic WrestleMania match with Cena. Johnson even shared the post in his Twitter too.
Found my star! Congrats to my good bud John Cena on landing the lead role for our movie, THE JANSON DIRECTIVE. A project that myself, @sevenbucksprod, our production partners and Universal Studios have been developing for years now. Congrats man and I'm excited to go on this journey with you. Thank you for your commitment to the role and remember, as your producer if you screw up, I'm coming to set and droppin' the People's Elbow on ya. And you know first hand how devastating my elbow drops can be ???????????? Congrats my friend and let's go make a good one. #JansonDirective #JohnCena #SevenBucksProds #CaptivateEnt #WeedRoadPics #MythologyEnt #UNIVERSAL
Later, Cena also took his Twitter to respond Johnson's announcement. He wrote: Humbled and HONORED for this incredible opportunity! The hard work starts..NOW!
Humbled and HONORED for this incredible opportunity! The hard work starts..NOW! Thank you @TheRock, @SevenBucksProd, and @UniversalPics. #TheJansonDirective pic.twitter.com/11N7UKCxyw
— John Cena (@JohnCena) April 30, 2018
The action-thriller was previously set to be with Johnson to star, but because of his busy schedule, Johnson and studio decided to move along with him as a producer.
The studio had been looking forward to a possible John Cena; starring franchise that will show his strength and physical presence.
Jeffrey Weiner and Ben Smith of Captivate Entertainment will produce the movie with Seven Bucks Production's Hiram Garcia. The production team also will feature James Vanderbilt, Mythology's William Sherak, Brad Fischer, and Weed Road Pictures' Akiva Goldsman. In the same way, Mythology's Tracey Nyberg will be working as an executive producer.
John Cena is set to star as Paul Janson, and the film certainly seems to turn into a franchise. So, no doubt Cena is on the way to become a rising star in his own right.
Before working in the acting industry, Cena began his career as a WWE Superstar. He has now appeared in several blockbuster comedies like Blockers, Train Wreck, and Sisters.
Excited about his upcoming project?

In September 2012 A.I.S., Inc. (AIS) was awarded a contract by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to provide fishery observer services to the Alaska Fisheries Science Center's Fisheries Monitoring and Analysis Division as part of the 2013 restructuring plan for the partial coverage fleet. In April 2013 AIS was awarded a five-year follow on contract to continue providing observer support services. Through the performance of these contracts AIS places observers on commercial fishing vessels operating in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea to safely collect and deliver high quality data to NMFS.
Observers are deployed on commercial fishing vessels ranging in size from 40 feet to 125 feet in length. The vessels covered in this program utilize hook and line, trawl and pot gear to target groundfish during trips lasting 2 to 10 days in duration.
In order to provide NMFS with the most qualified candidates AIS fills openings with experienced observers and throughout the year actively recruits professional biologists for entry into the program. Please see our list of current job openings to apply.

Friday (1st Oct 2010) was spent in and around Epcot – as we have been staying at Beach Club (one of the Epcot Resorts) we have been into Epcot each day but never spent any considerable time there to do all the rides.
First up we managed to get mum to go on the Test Track ride – a convertible that simulates testing of a GM car over various terrain, cornering and speed – finishes with a speed trial where you hit 65 mph so mum had to hold onto her wig.
Other rides we did were Spaceship Earth (the big globe below and the kids favourite), Ellen's Energy Adventure, The Seas with Nemo & Friends, Living with the Land (mum's favourite as was boat voyage through green houses), The Circle of Life film and Mission Space (my favourite as you really pull some G's on this one).
After all the rides everyone went back for a rest except Emily and I carried on as usual – we did the Mexico and Norway pavilions and Emily did the Kim Possible secret agent explorer that they have which took us all over the Norway pavilion on secret missions.

Food, food, oh so yummy Food - Day 3
I did it, I worked out yesterday and now I can't feel my legs. There has to be something wrong with this work out regimen if I'm doing squats every day. It just hurts! No recovery day! We'll see about this!
My trainer requests that I send pictures of everything that I eat over to him, I guess to check whether I'm following the rules. With my years of trying all the diets under the sun, eating well is not completely foreign. Really, it's the lack of exercise and massive amounts of wine I like to drink. Also, I do indulge a little more often than I should. Who doesn't like a toasted bagel with cream cheese for breakfast?
What I miss the most since Monday? Cheese. I love cheese. The comedian always jokes that we're cheesy people but that can be seen in two lights... that we are really nerdy and love corny jokes and that we love cheese. Anyhow, I have made due. Chicken breasts, veggies, toast with Peanut Butter, is not so bad. My next challenge is to figure out some recipes to jazz up my taste buds.

September 24, 2012
Loved Galway, had 2 pints of Bulmers Cider in Latin Quarter yesterday but it did not help me sleep with "SNORING GUY" registering an 8.5 on the Richter Scale. The 4 of us who could not sleep convinced the guy at the night desk to let us move to an empty dorm. Much appreciaed. Wonder what "SNORING GUY" thought when he woke up this morning to a room all by himself. lol
I took the City Link bus instead of Bus Eirean because it was 4 euros cheaper and had bathroom and wifi. Unfortunately it was raining and does not look to let up anytime soon. I have seen the tourist sites before so will blog today and catch a pint later. Hopefully the weather will clear up before my flight to Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow evening. I have all day tomorrow to revisit Trinity College and other pioints of interest.
This trip is NOT representative of future guided trips because my time here is limited and I am doing some things I have not done before. Skipping Killarney (my favorite), and Kilkenny. For more of the typical sights check out my 2007 Ireland viist at billpassman.blogspot.ie or go to my blogs at bpassman.blogspot.com
Minus all the hiking I did on the Kerry Way, that will be done by Tour Bus.
Walked to Temple Bar District for a pint of the good stuff, some Irish music and to take a few pictures.
Lots of signs promoting Oktoberfest in Temple Bar. Seems like a sign for me to go to Munich.

The setback on a site area around the perimeter of a site upon which building is prohibited. Generally, they are defined as X number of feet from the property line, creating a moat-like perimeter upon which no building component may rest. Additionally, certain terrain features may carry setbacks of their own, such as wetlands, rivers, etc. Setbacks vary greatly from town to town, and also depend on how the site is zoned. The benefit of having setbacks are many, one of which is to decrease the chance of fire spreading from one building to another. It also provides access to fire fighters and utility workers to access the respective locations on the building. It creates zones of free space which solve privacy issues when windows open onto each other between buildings. It also (and most importantly) allows for roads and other public zones to be expanded as necessary to accommodate increased traffic.
If the roads are expanded to an extent where the existing conditions now violate the new setbacks, the structure is generally grandfathered, which means it is currently exempt from complying with these new setbacks because the structure was compliant when it was built. However, this also limits renovation and new construction; if a renovation occurs where the footprint of the building changes, it may be necessary to comply with new setbacks.
If construction is severely limited because of setbacks, and the owner can demonstrate extreme hardship as a result, the architect and owner can petition the local government for a variance, which would allow them to violate the setbacks.
Setbacks must be considered very carefully; if an architect violates setbacks, either willfully or unintentionally, the government can and usually will issue a stop construction order, and demand the situation be remedied. Either a variance must be applied for and granted, or the structure must be completely demolished and the previously existing conditions must be returned. Failure to comply with these demands may result in significant fines and penalties, as well as legal action against the property owner.

A big shout out and THANK YOU to the VFC Owners who have invested in Class C shares! We're steadily moving toward our $1 million goal. You may ask, "How can we begin the project if we haven't raised all of the owner equity?" Our local lender, Bank of Cashton, is confident in our success and supports us with a bridge line of credit if we need it; this allows us to take advantage of the summer weather to keep us moving on construction. We are underway and our cherished Co-op will soon have some exciting new ways to serve you.
I believe in this project and understand the great responsibility that the VFC Owners and Board of Directors have entrusted me with to do what is best for the Co-op and the community. VFC is my family, my community, and my passion; nothing could make me jeopardize its well-being. Our Co-op has become an essential part of life here for many folks. Every step we take to provide healthy food choices to our families will take us closer to our mission of healthy individuals, a healthy community, and a healthy planet.
VFC always was and always will be a community-owned co-op. Owner/community wants and needs inform every decision we make through their purchases, surveys and direct input – but ultimately someone must be held accountable for business decisions. Our Board functions as your representatives in this democracy – and this is how cooperative businesses function all around the world.
It's refreshing to see owners care so strongly that they want to have deeper involvement in this Co-op expansion. Still, please know that we must consider and make decisions that best represent all Co-op owners and shoppers.
In 2012, VFC embarked on an extensive planning and evaluation process to determine if this expansion was the right move. We understand that some of the owner input and visioning that guided this expansion may not be in everyone's recent memory. This has been a long road and has included extensive communications and owner input all along the way.
VFC expanded once before in 2005 with the new construction of our current building. The Board of Directors used the identical process then to engage owners as we have for the current expansion – starting with a Community Conversation followed by several years of study, an owner survey, and many in-person events to gather owner input.
In retrospect, the 2005 expansion held significantly more risk than the current expansion project. VFC had no track record of profitability, fewer members, fewer local and organic farm suppliers, and not much tourist trade. Thanks to the visionary Board members (and Bank of Cashton) who had confidence and were willing to take a leap of faith, we did it!
Check out the comparison below:
Twelve years later, we have an excellent track record of continuous growth in sales, modest profitability, and owners totaling more than 3,600. The Driftless area is now a tourist destination for water ways, bicycling, fishing, recreation at parks and reserves, and many people travel here (and move here!) because of this Co-op!
I want to recognize that some questions and criticisms we've received are coming from a place of genuine concern for the Co-op. Rest assured that the VFC Board of Directors have done their due diligence to make our expansion a success. We value transparency, and along with that comes more questions and complexity! Many of these questions (and more), along with VFC's answers, are posted on the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page.
The VFC Board of Directors bring a diverse spectrum of life and work experience that directly relates to our Cooperative and the project. They represent a wide range of the owner-membership through multiple generations (ages 29-69) and include: two engineers, a finance professor, small and large business owners, an organic certifier, both an Organic Valley executive and a brand manager.
But we rely on other professional opinions as well. Many independent organizations have looked at the project numbers; each has independently analyzed the project and decided to partner with us, recognizing and affirming the expansion project's viability. This includes:
- City of Viroqua (CDI grant & Tax Incremental District-TID, Center Ave variance)
- Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (CDI grant)
- US Dept. of Treasury Community Development Fund (NMTC)
- USDA Rural Development - Loan Guarantee, 90% of primary loan
- Bank of Cashton - Local Primary Lender
- National Cooperative Grocer's Development Cooperative

Media Stocks Drop in Post-Election Trades
Related: Trump Stuns Pundits and Pollsters to Capture Presidency
The stock market opened higher the day after Donald Trump's surprising election victory, but the media companies the president-elect bashed during the campaign traded lower.
Scripps Networks, Discovery Communications and Netflix were all down more than 2% in early trading Wednesday. Disney, CBS, AMC, Time Warner and Viacom were all down more than 1%.
Trump has said he will oppose Time Warner's proposed acquisition by AT&T. AT&T was down more than 1% as well.
Comcast opened higher, gaining more than 1%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 68 points, or 0.37%. The NASDAQ index was down a bit. As Trump got closer to victory, the U.S. futures market and some overseas stock markets plunged amid fear of the uncertainty over what a Trump administration would mean to foreign trade.

Don't let time be your enemy
In XIV century the clock appeared, and we have turned to captives of time which began to supervise all spheres of our life. Time has turned to the enemy.
We try to squeeze out everything of time released to us that is possible. However, probably, it is on the contrary: the time squeezes out all our forces.
We are running on a dial circle. And for 700 years we are trying to squeeze out everything that is possible of time released to us. However results of modern researches say that, probably, all on the contrary: this time squeezes out all our energy.
Relax at work
Does it happen to you that the working day has only begun, and you already feel full of weakness?
When loading prevails over rest and it is not compensated, it means that you have a syndrome of chronic weariness. Unloading should be adequate, and it not only a sleep, but also conditions and activity change. In a reality, we have all day long work, having rummaged only on a dream. The organism constantly is in a condition of "fighting" and eventually simply "burns down"!
Planning is your "trump card" for successful work
Everyone definitely got in such situation. We have a certain period of time - (for example, five days) and there is a certain list of tasks and problems which have to be done necessary by the end of this period of time. It would seem for us not a problem to succeed in time, but eventually, the closer we are coming to the edge of finish the more clearly we realize that we have not succeeded to do all the tasks from the list and the time occasionally has passed somewhere. What has happened? Where does the time leave?
Such situations are frequent in our daily life, in work, in rest, in any area of our activity. If you look at this situation more rationally, it is possible to avoid disappointment connecting with losing our time. For example, you have 5 hours on working out the certain project. Put your tasks according their priority and according you are going to settle the issues. Now take your typical working day and define how much time you use on start. So then you should add the time for starting to the 5 hours for example of your working time.
Also consider that time necessary for "switching over". Organize breaks on rest. Instead of several big breaks on half an hour on coffee, take breaks of 5-10 minutes each hour. It allows you to have better rest and at the same time not «to lose a thread», penetrating into work after a long break.
Time management as another step towards success
Time management is the ability which many people begin to develop only by perforce. Many people, being overloaded with work and private problems, do not see any way out of such a situation and, supposing that nothing can be changed, continue to flounder in this whirlpool. However many psychologists consider that the problem of the time shortage can be solved. The desire to change yourself and the attitude towards time is the only thing which is necessary.
Thus in most cases it appears, that it is not so easy to get rid of deep-rooted bad habits and to use this valuable skill to one hundred percent.

Ultra Rare Black and White Ebony Burl with Black and White Ceramic Pair
Ultra Rare Black and White Ebony Burl with Black and White Ceramic Pair
This one of a kind set of black and white ebony burl ceramic rings is ready to ship within 24 hours.
Size 10
Black and White Ebony Burl
Black Ceramic and White Ceramic Pair
The world supply of this wood is vanishingly small. I have encountered a single dealer that has access to it (and I source wood from MANY dealers), and this seller usually cuts his supply into pen blanks, presumably because he can profit more per inch in that format. Five years ago, I was lucky enough to acquire two small chunks of this wood large enough for my purposes. So not only is it rare and beautiful (with its mixture of white, black, cream and greyish lavender hues that result from the mixing), its utterly gone now.
Comfort fit.
I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you already know your size. "Do it yourself" ring sizing methods (string, etc.) should absolutely not be trusted. Be sure to be measured using the width you plan to order.
Wood interior rings can be resized very slightly, up or down about 1/4 size. I am happy to do this for you, for no extra charge. However, every ring is made to the exact size provided. This is a one of a kind ring, and I will not be taking orders for custom sizes. Returns due to inaccurate sizing on the part of the customer will result in a 10% restocking fee.
Please click on the "Policies" link (under Shop Info) to see wood ring care instructions and FAQ.
Each ring is given multiple coats of a hybrid epoxy finish, which is completely water-proof and soap proof. This protective coating is sanded up to 12,000 grit for an unbelievable, glass-like finish.
All rings ship via USPS Priority (or Priority International) Small Flat Rate Box. If you are outside the US and Canada, your only shipping option is Global Express. Please read below for details. Insurance is mandatory for this ring, and included in the shipping charge. You pay what I pay for shipping, nothing more.
For customers outside the US:
Due to changes in USPS policy, international packages sent to countries other than Canada can no longer be tracked past the US border. Insurance claims are also not possible. Due to this change and for your protection, international customers outside of Canada will be required to pay for USPS Global Express shipping ($60.95), which in addition to guaranteeing arrival within 3-5 business days (excepting intervention from your country's customs department), also can be tracked and insured. I wish I could offer a more economical solution, but cheaper options are too risky.
International customers are responsible for all fees associated with shipping to their respective countries. Orders that are shipped to countries outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; I have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond the original delivery estimates. It is against the law and I will not mark an item as a "gift" to avoid any fees.

East Village Sydney
234 Palmer Street, Darlinghurst
0431 622 944
The East Village Sydney, one of Darlinghurst's oldest pubs, has been given a new lease on life, thanks to the team at Goodtimes Hospitality.
The historic institution re-opened its doors in late 2016, following a complete refurbishment. Its many levels were given a much-needed makeover, with the instalment of three dramatically different concepts: the Public Bar (ground level), Athletic Club (level two) and the Terrace, which now features up-close views of the city skyline.
The East Village (formerly Darlo Village) was the second pub to receive the Goodtimes treatment, after Petersham's West Village. Co-founders James Bodel and Locky Paech saw the chance to revamp as a no brainer, with the opportunity to do something different for Darlinghurst locals.
Enter at the ground floor and stumble into the Public Bar, also affectionately known as the Wine Pub. Combining the historic building's smoky rendered walls, scuffed paintwork and 20th century Serge Mouille wall lights, the bar has been reincarnated as a contemporary urban haven. Taking centre stage in the bright space is the wine collection, resting behind the leather-clad bar.
General Manager Lee Potter Cavanagh, 2015 Australian Bartender of the Year, has compiled a spectacular wine list, including cellar wines by the glass and bottle. Presented on a hanging wine board, the selection changes throughout the day. With the help of bar manager, Reece Griffiths, Lee has also created a medley of wine-based cocktails to test your taste buds. Try the Backyard Americano, which sees a regal rogue bold red paired with organic 25 bitter, mulberry vinegar and fizz.
Head Chef, Graham Jones, and Executive Chef, Tom Kime, are in charge of the re-imagined counter menu. Recognisable dishes with a modern twist occupy the list, with offerings such as the half roast chicken with sweetcorn, shallots, roasted heirloom tomato, basil and crispy bread. Add a delicious salad, such as roast peach, prosciutto, almonds, ricotta, rocket and baby basil, and your meal is sure to delight.
No pub is complete without some sort of sports element. That's where the aptly named Athletic Club comes in. Located on level two, it is a sports lover's dream space. Private bottle lockers line the back of the bar, while multiple television screens line the walls above the darkened panels and classic worn leather booth seats. Grab a seat at the bespoke poker table or take a peek at the historic sporting memorabilia before ordering a drink from the gentlemen's club list. Highlights include the Bridge Road Robust Porter and English style rum or the Cold Buttered – a whisky with Pepe Saya syrup, walnut bitters and sesame.
For sport diehards, the Athletic Club also offers the Red Room, a private space with a wall-length television, seating for 10 people and table service. Book it out for sporting blockbusters and experience the VIP treatment first hand.
Continue the climb to escape to the Terrace – a 100sqm rooftop bar with one of the best views of the Sydney CBD skyline. The urban oasis includes a rooftop garden bar, plush lounges, garden seating and high tables to enjoy the panoramic views of the city below.
With a more casual approach, the menu takes a different route to the Public Bar. Light snacks and summery dishes with a global influence are on offer, with options like oysters served with chili and ginger, or rare grilled veal with anchovy and herb mayonnaise, caper berries and fried anchovies.
The cocktail collection up on the Terrace is designed to start you off slow and take you through the night, so you can enjoy the view as it transitions. Start with a Seasonal Mimosa with prosecco and seasonal fruit and end on the daring Squidmark Sour – a Bulleit rye whiskey, Tempus Fugit gran classic bitters, crème de cacao, cherry, grapefruit, shichimi togarashi and squid ink.
The East Village Sydney is the perfect one-stop shop – start with a drink in the public bar, head upstairs to watch your game of choice, and continue celebrating with a view. After all, this historic pub knows how to have a good time.

The Norwell High field hockey team has a simple and singular goal this fall.
"The team is off to a strong start and has one goal: to make tournament," said Norwell coach Jen Schad.
Early on, the Clippers look well on their way to accomplishing that goal. Norwell opened the season with a pair of shutout wins over Carver and Sharon at home.
Against Carver on Sept. 5, junior Casey Messina netted the lone goal.
"Our defense did a great job against Carver and the midline did a great job of working the ball up the field and controlling the passes," said Schad.
On Saturday, Norwell dispatched of non-league foe Sharon, 3-0. Junior Emma Campbell, senior Alexis Magee and Messina netted the tallies.
"We know that all of our league opponents will be tough this year, but are confident we will be able to do what it takes to make the tournament," said Schad.
Seniors Audrey Loyack, Georgia Ring, Averie Henriquez and junior Caroline West are Norwell's captains. West and Messina are key returners from last year's squad. Olivia Suurhans also returns at goaltender and junior Lexi Curtain is back on the defensive end.
Campbell and freshman Maddie Hohmann are new to the varsity roster.
The Clippers will be looking to put an end to a tournament drought this fall.
"We were happy with how we played and the growth seen in the girls throughout the season, but were disappointed to lose and/or tie so many of our games, which then did not allow us to make tournament," said Schad of last year.
Ali Maloney and Brooke Bailey make up the rest of the senior class. Molly Frattasio, Maeve McKinley, Lizzy Scully, Colette Delphin, Kendal Coffey, Grace Burke, Maeve Regan, Belle Detwiler and MacKenzie Arnott round out the junior class.
Freshman Ellie West and sophomore Lily Amorosino are offensive players.
The Clippers played Middleboro on Wednesday (after Mariner deadline) before hosting Bishop Feehan in a non-league game on Friday at 4 p.m. Norwell travels to Weymouth on Monday (3:45 p.m.) and Plymouth South on Tuesday (3:45 p.m.).
"We continue to work on shooting and field placement when shooting, as well as develop our skills in regards to offensive corners," said Schad.

Blood lust
There's a fine, fine line between pain and pleasure.
It seems these days that the world has caught a case of blood lust. Vampires have long been part of pop culture, through the Victorian era until now, but even before then they were legends. And what draws us to vampires, of all mythical creatures?
Vampires and sex are synonymous. There is no such thing as a chaste vampire. And more importantly for us mortals, there is no such thing as an ugly vampire. You'd think something that had been dead for centuries would be less than appealing. After all, vampires are monsters, wild. And all other mythical monsters - werewolves, cyclopses, harpies - are scary. Vampires are scary in a sexy way. Nevermind scaring your socks off, they seem to jump straight to the pants.
In Interview with a Vampire we lusted after Lestat and Louis. In Buffy, teens all around the world dreamt about Angel and Spike. And now, with Twilight-mania, a new generation is literally asking for Edward to bite them.
I'll admit, I read Twilight. In fact, I read all four. And I saw the movie twice in theatres. Why? Because vampires are hot.
And finally, last September, HBO gave us True Blood: a show chalk full of sex, drugs, blood and most importantly - vampires. But True Blood wasn't jumping on the bandwagon (or careening race car) of Twilight, as it may have seemed. True Blood is based on books by Charlaine Harris, the first, Dead Until Dark, published in 2001. Which bears remarkable similarities to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, published years later. Sookie Stackhouse is a mind reader, drawn to vampire Bill Compton because she can't read his thoughts. Edward Cullen is a mind reading vampire, drawn to Bella Swan because he can't read her thoughts. Edward is a "vegetarian" vampire. Bill is "mainstreaming" after the release of synthetic blood.
You see, this is a key factor to the sexy vampire stories. We don't want a monster story, we want a story of redemption. Angel is "cursed" with a soul, and so we (and Buffy) fall in love with his tortured past. Edward wonders if he has a soul, and wants desperately to be a decent person, a normal high school student. Bill moves to a small town in the American south in an attempt to rejoin society. Louis is the sympathetic character, who feels guilt at the deaths he has caused. Lestat is the monster.
Last weekend I read Charlaine Harris' Dead Until Dark, and it was everything I hoped it would be - a grown up version of Twilight. Without the sexual frustration, but in the same fluffy first person style. A romance novel, almost, with vampires and murder mysteries.
Yesterday, I watched the first episode of the second season of True Blood. The show is a lot "classier" than the books - Allan Ball (American Beauty, Six Feet Under) adds a level of sophistication and danger to the books to make it into this enticing, sexy show. In true HBO grandeur.
Vampires are sexy, folks. And they're also really popular right now. And if you have a problem with that, you can bite me.

Nice cheesy last line, haha.
I have to agree that vampires are super sexy, long before Edward came around who is IN FACT not sexy at all. He's really ugly. AND he sparkles, which makes him not even a vampire. And the more popular it gets, the more angry it makes me. I read Dead Until Dark before Twilight was even out, Brandi loves that series. And she had me read the first one but I never got to the rest. If you like those, read the Anita Blake series - which is also a graphic novel series now. But the books are by Laurel K. Hamilton. She's a vampire HUNTER, but the book features your usual super sexy male vampires. And no teenage-censoring of sexual frustration.
But I have to disagree that all vampires are sexy. Nosferatu is not a sexy vampire. At all. He's quite hideous, but really cool and very sexually driven to his goal victim - a popular actress (in the movie, anyway). As are most versions of Dracula.
I guess I get mildly protective of vampires in this new annoyingly popular, teeny craze because I grew up with Brandi - and vampires to her are elves to me. So that was instilled in me back when vampires were still thought to be pretty gross and more of an underground cult following.
That being said - read "Companions of the NIght" by Vivian Vande Velde…. I love that book so much! It's teen-y, and you'll probably get through it in a day, but it's no Edward. And, they talk about how vampires wrote my favorite song "Unchained Melody". hehe.
So ends this super long message.
By Lisa, June 17, 2009 @ 11:30 am
Vampires are EVERYWHERE. Well, not really (at least I hope not!), but you know what I mean…movies, tv shows, books, etc…
I haven't seen True Blood yet, but I did see Twilight. Edward was definitely hot.
I wonder what it is about vampires that people find to be so sexy though…I have a friend that is becoming obsessed and is reading anything and everything relating to vampires. Addicted to True Blood and the Twilight series.
For me though, they scare the crap out of me! LOL. But I'm probably the only one who feels that way.
By Court, June 17, 2009 @ 2:52 pm
I just started watching True Blood two days ago! I streamed the first episode but I have 2 DVDs from the first season waiting at home for me right now…
I'm not a fan of Twilight though. If True Blood hadn't gotten such good reviews and wasn't so dark, I wouldn't have touched it with a ten-foot pole. I only got through the first few chapters of Twilight– it reminded me too much of those awful books I used to read before you converted me to normal people books, haha.
By Laura, June 18, 2009 @ 4:48 pm
The Vampire Post. Perfect. I knew when I was 13 and reading Anne Rice that some day the rest of the world would catch up to me. drooooool. Eric rocks my world.
ps Why didn't you mention Eric?????
ppss and after reading the next two Sookie Stackhouse books, I am expecting a werewolf post as well.

Since my kids are so small (6 and 3) I try to stay away from the blood and gore, monsters and such. They're too young for that sort of thing. I focus instead on generally creepy things, like bugs and naturalistic/decayed things. I'm big on groupings of slightly weird objects as well, like last year's display of stopped clocks (up again this year).
My kitchen sideboard. It's nice to get out some silver and not polish it for a change, LOL. The pumpkin on a candy dish pedestal is a real pumpkin from last year that we hollowed out down to the skin and dried in the oven. It's basically ever-lasting now, and filled with faux leaves.
I love bugs this year! The branches are curly willow from my brother's tree, spray painted black. We used a lot of them all over the house.
My son found these skulls in the woods- one is a fox and the other a coyote.
More curly willow stuck in a fat lava pot with a mum. This is probably one of the best shots of the new TV aquarium, with its new test-pattern backdrop. (Why I couldn't get a decent shot before, I'll never know...)
I love this idea- reminds me of something out of a magazine. Normally I have cornstalks on the front porch, but ours were all ratty after the hurricanes and not fit for display. Thank goodness for the curly willow! (And did I ever mention how much I love galvanized stuff? The bucket is an old sap bucket I trash picked from a dump in the woods ;)
Jayson grew all of our pumpkins in the garden this year- it was a very good year.
Also note my Halloween blowmolds, all lit up and happy at night (like some of you are, I'm sure, LOL)! I put orange flicker bulbs in the front carriage lights also- that is such an easy, cool effect, I wonder why more people don't do that.
And finally, RIP Dracula...
While it looks nice and sunny, I turned around and snapped this picture of the cold front coming in!
If that's not scary, I don't know what is!

The Angel Program helps families in the Greater Brandon area who have suffered a life threatening illness or catastrophic event such as a fire, flood, etc. Realizing money is not the only thing needed during a time of crisis; we meet practical needs. Individuals and local business owners help meet those needs at no cost to the family. Our program matches individuals and families with available resources within our community. Examples of local businesses providing help are:
- A lawn care company maintains the lawn of a patient receiving chemotherapy
- A restaurant provides a gift certificate for the patient or caregiver
- Tradesmen offer services such as plumbing, AC repair, electrical, roofing, etc., to help maintain the home and ensure the family is comfortable in their time of need
Businesses receive a "Foundation Angel" decal to display, stating they are a "Foundation Angel" and they care about others in the community. Our individual volunteer "Foundation Angels" are fulfilled as they give back to the community, utilizing resources or services made available to them and are pleased to have a way of helping families in need.
If you, or someone you know would like to become an "Angel" – Please Click Here

Join a short fundraising walk and help raise money for the Chilterns MS Centre.
To mark its 30th anniversary this year, the centre is holding 30 one-mile fundraising walks during September.
Walk The MS Mile comes to Berkhamsted on Saturday, September 12, setting off from Marks & Spencer, on the High Street, and the Centre in the Park, in Gadebridge Park, Hemel Hempstead, on Sunday, September 13.
Wheelers, pushers, walkers and scooters will convene at the Rose & Crown in Kings Langley on Saturday, September 26, and St Peter & St Paul's Church, in Tring, on Monday, September 28.
Registration is at 10.30am and the walks set off at 11am.
The Chilterns MS Centre provides a range of therapies for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) living in Bucks, Herts and beyond so we decided to arrange walks in.
Centre trustee Linda Oatley had the idea of Walk The MS Mile – an ambitious plan to raise £30,000 with 30 one-mile walks in 30 locations in September.
Linda said: "The charity is a real lifeline to so many people like myself with MS.
"I have been in training since the start of the year and plan to walk or wheel every mile.
"This ambitious fundraising initiative will not only raise vital funds for the centre but also increase awareness of what it does.
"It helps more than 300 people each week manage their multiple sclerosis symptoms by providing services such as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and acupuncture.
"Users of the Centre also discover new friends and share in the support that meeting people with similar experiences offers."
For a full list of walks and to register free of charge, or to find out more, visit www.chilternsmscentre.org

At 3 Counties Concrete, we specialise in providing concrete line pumps to projects all over Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, as well as offering concrete pump hire in London. Committed to offering the most competitive prices, our service is cost-effective for customers no matter how big or small their job. Whether you want a concrete slab for your shed base, or need it pumped several storeys up, our team can help with large-scale commercial construction as well as quick DIY jobs at your home.
What is concrete pumping?
Concrete pumps make it possible to transfer liquid concrete from the mixing site to the exact location it needs to be poured. There are several ways in which concrete can be pumped around a project site. At 3 Counties Concrete, we use a combination of flexible rubber hoses and steel pipes, which allow us to pump concrete up to 200m away from the roadside, over obstacles, up and down stairs and even through houses – all with minimal mess and fuss.
Depending on your requirements, we can supply ready-mix concreteprepared to your specifications or bring materials to provide on-site mixing.
What are the benefits of concrete pumping?
Not only is concrete pumping more efficient than transporting it manually, but it's much safer and creates significantly less mess.
For a start, pumping concrete requires minimal labour effort. Once they are set up, our pumps can transport 8 cubic metres of concrete in less than 15 minutes – far more effective than a team of workers. This efficiency gives you more time to lay your concrete, allowing you to concentrate on the parts of your project that matter most.
Concrete pumping is particularly effective when you're working in areas with challenging access (a common problem with projects in built-up areas like London). At 3 Counties Concrete, we go further to overcome this challenge by mounting our top of the range Putzmeister concrete pumps onto 7.5 tonne lorries with the smallest possible footprint, allowing us to squeeze into narrower spaces than many other firms.
Concrete pumping also makes it easy to meter your delivery, helping you to better manage your project costs.
Why choose 3 Counties Concrete?
Our team deliver the finest grade of concrete to all kinds of projects across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. We are passionate about the level of service we provide, and use our expertise to ensure that you can lay your concrete in a quick, clean cost-effective manner.
If you would like any more information or advice about using concrete pumping for your project, our team will be happy to help. Give us a call on Tel: 01582 250 886, or send a message via our contact page.
