As I continue my first ever series, which happens to be about lard, the second edition here focuses on the history of this marvelous pork product and to some degree its future.
Starting in reverse, I first want to discuss how lard met its demise, because it's quite interesting. Not merely by an accident, but by an ad campaign from a major corporation designed to kill off lard.
The story begins in the early 1900s, America was uneasy about the meat industry in general. Upton Sinclair's novel, "The Jungle," had turned the public's head, but more importantly their stomachs. And readers of the bestseller were mesmerized by the portion of the book where Sinclair describes slaughterhouse workmen falling into giant vats of lard, dying there, and becoming part of the product moving out the packing house door and into the pantry of consumers.
While those consumers of 20th century America were worrying about the food dangers in the meat packing industry, the staff at Proctor and Gamble, the large corporation I told you about, were working on a solution to their own business dilemma.
The company owned multiple cottonseed oil factories and the oil, used in P&G's candle production, began to amount to a surplus because, well, who needs candles when electric lights are beating out candlesticks. So with all that leftover oil and the recent invention of the process of hydrogenation, which is basically adding hydrogen molecules to unsaturated fats, the company looked to make something marketable out of it all.
The big break came when P&G discovered that the hydrogenated cottonseed oil will cook like fat, that it looks like fat, plus with the added bonus that it will store for longer, they knew they had something. Now to market the new fat-like product and wipe out lard completely from the map.
First, Proctor and Gamble needed to catch the public's interest in this lab created fat and turn away from lard, which probably wouldn't be that difficult, because of the unease in the meat industry created by Sinclair's novel. But the ad-men for P&G went to town and these guys advertised the hell out of their new lard-killer product, Crisco, short for crystalized cottonseed oil.
Proctor and Gamble basically set the tone for the modern ad campaign. They hit the airwaves, the newly developed means of mass communication. There, they described the wholesomeness of Crisco all the while playing up the fear about the meat industry. P&G mailed out cookbooks touting new and healthful recipes for Crisco, they got schools involved in using it, really bolstered Crisco's name and built a solid reputation for the new-fangled shortening. And lard, well, good old lard's popularity wained, while king Crisco moved in replacing it.
So lard lost out in the coming decades. Numerous health studies were purporting the negative impacts lard has on health, studies that have since been rebuked. Why even the name lard itself became synonymous with gluttony and unhealthy lifestyles.
But looking back to pre-20th century, lard was immensely important and the fat was regarded just as highly as the meat of the hog. Like most things lard was probably discovered by accident, but eventually made its way into kitchens all across Europe, the Americas and China. Slaughtering the hogs was a chore usually done in autumn and no part of this valuable animal was ever wasted.
Pigs are not native to the Americas and traversing European explorers would leave the easily adaptable animal behind as a food source for return trips. These wild hogs bred and produced a good supply of meat and lard for the traveler. Eventually when the lands were settled and domestic pigs were slaughtered, their fat, which was highly prized to cook and bake just about anything and everything, was kept in the larder — an aptly named cool storage area for lard.
Indeed, a length of history and quite a story can be written about lard. But its future still looks bright as lard has taken on an artisanal distinction now, being sold throughout farmers markets, CSAs and trendy niche restaurants.
Some of the resurgence of lard has been brought about by new health studies, which have found that lard is not nearly as harmful as the public was told it was. [This was actually the first edition to this series.] And when compared to GMO vegetable shortenings and margarines lard is the best choice.
From lard's humble beginnings to it's new beginnings, I hope you have enjoyed learning a little bit more about lard.
So what are your thoughts on lard? Do you use it much, have you used it at all?

Storm Front
Little St. Simons Island, Georgia
August 2, 2012
Oil on canvas
" x 12.5"
I wish I could've captured the full scope of this summer storm, but time was limited. After about ten minutes of painting, the wind picked up and all would have blown away had I not thrown everything into the cab of the truck. A wondrous site was a squadron of tree swallows crossing the marsh against that storm wind. They still managed to speed right along, skimming the tops of the thrashing grasses. It was beautiful to see the speeding flock stream from the grass tops down into a tidal creek "canyon" and then back up into the marsh and out of site.

UT finance secy releases 'Bhartiya Itihas Kosh'
UT finance-cum-education secretary VK Singh released a book, "Bhartiya Itihas Kosh" by Dr Prashant Gaurav at UT secretariat here on Thursday.chandigarh Updated: Apr 25, 2013 18:28 IST
Hindustan Times
UT finance-cum-education secretary VK Singh released a book, "Bhartiya Itihas Kosh" by Dr Prashant Gaurav at UT secretariat here on Thursday.
UT DIG police Alok Kumar and UT special secretary finance and education Ajoy Sharma were also present on the occasion.
After releasing the book, Singh said, "In this age of science and technology and materialism, humans day by day are becoming materialistic, ambitious and forgetting the glorious history and culture of their ancestors. Books like this must be written to revive and reveal various aspects of Indian history keeping in view the greater interest of students, scholars as well as teachers. It will also serve in a great way to the academic curiosity of the people who have interest in history, particularly Indian history."
Congratulating the writer, Kumar said there was a need to cultivate the habit of writing books among teachers, only then they could justify their position.
Sharma talked about the increase in facilities for students and teachers in government colleges and said today they could match any other institution of the region and the teachers should make the best use of these facilities to improve their skills.

Indiana Life Insurance Quotes
Having Indiana life insurance is going to provide a payout to cover funeral expenses, additional costs and provide an amount of money to live off for a few years. The amount you need is going to vary. Most planners recommend taking your annual salary and multiplying it by at least eight. Of course this will vary based on the policy you need and the Indiana life insurance quotes you want to pay.
Taking Care of Loose Ends
Some people might be too nervous to bring up Indiana life insurance quotes into the general conversation. Talking about what your family needs though is important. You should be able to talk freely about what will happen should a source of income be taken away completely.
This means you need to know what debts will be left behind. Your Indiana life insurance quotes can take care of your mortgage payment and even pay off your new vehicle. Car payments and past due credit card bills are going to mount up quickly. That is an additional stress that your loved ones do not need.
Make sure you cover the bases so your family doesn't have to. Review your Indiana life insurance quotes today and see which type of policy will give you the biggest pay out.
Policy Information for Indiana Residents
What type of life insurance are you going to need in Indiana? You understand why you need it, but the types of policies can be confusing. Basically term, whole and universal policies are all the same. They are all created to give your family financial assistance at the event of your death. However, all have different premium rate Indiana life insurance quotes and saving options.
The length of the policies is one of the biggest differences. When you are reviewing your Indiana whole life insurance quotes and term life insurance you will see that a term policy isn't meant for the long term. While you can get a payout from term insurance it is not meant to last several years.
Sometimes you are going to need to meet requirements on the job or otherwise to have life insurance. You can get this through your Indiana financial planner or employer. Indiana term life insurance quotes are going to help you meet this obligation. It is a cut and dry type of Indiana life insurance that comes with lower premium rates.
One of the reasons for the cost differences is that whole life and universal life policies are going to be for years and not decades. Also, a whole and universal policy is going to invest your money for a savings option.
If you want to control your investments then you need to look at Indiana universal life insurance quotes. Universal coverage quotes has the most investment options including splitting them between bonds, stocks and mortgages. You can also decide which part of your policy you need to focus on most such as paying for a funeral or just trying to pay off the mortgage.
Saving Money for the Long Term
Your premium rate is going to affect how much your family has out of the entire policy. A high premium rate doesn't mean you are going to have a high return. Instead you could just be overpaying all your life for a short term payout. It is important to review all your Indiana life insurance quotes online to make certain you are getting the best deal.
People open up Indiana life insurance policies because they want to look after their families. If you cannot afford the premium rate then your policy will lapse. Worse still your high premium quotes could put you into a financial bind. You don't want to live your life in debt.
Reviewing multiple Indiana life insurance quotes online can help you weed out the high premium rates quickly. This will allow you to focus on the rates you can afford and see if there isn't some type of discount that can help you lower your premium rate. Discounts are different from auto insurance. Since premium rates are more stable providers look towards the long term.
Doing things like improving your health and having a high credit score can help you have lower premium quotes. This means that even the quotes you do not like can be lowered if you make some minor adjustments to your lifestyle. Making improvements to your health will not only help lower your quotes but it will give you a boost in your everyday life.
You can discuss all your premium rate options with your retirement advisor or financial planner. If you have a consultant or advisor helping you they can find additional ways to lower your premium rate quotes to make sure your Indiana policy is manageable.

London operation shared with Brazilian surgeons
Friday, August 31, 2012
Through an interactive audio-video broadcast surgeons in Brazil are learning leading edge surgical techniques from urologist Dr. John Denstedt, Chair/Chief of the Department of Surgery.
Throughout a recent broadcast from st. Joseph's Hospital, two live procedures were demonstrated for the Brazil team which allowed them several views of the patient, the operating room, and internal views of the surgery itself through a camera scope. The team could ask questions, adding to the real time training and collaboration.
The broadcast, done through a secure Internet cloud-based technology from InTouch Health (Santa Barbara, CA, USA) takes international teaching to the next level and is one way London surgeons are creating better access to health care across the world.
"In the future it may be possible to broadcast such sessions across an entire country by linking and networking centres. It enables experienced surgeons to mentor teams on new techniques and collaborate on complex cases while eliminating time, distance and cost barriers," says Dr. Denstedt.
Dr. Denstedt has been teaching the next generation of surgeons in London for more than 20 years. His international teaching has included several surgical courses at Chengdu China's West China Hospital and broadcasts across China.

Scott Maslen (born 25 June 1971) is an English actor and model, best known for his portrayal as DS Phil Hunter in ITV's The Bill and Jack Branning on the BBC's flagship soap EastEnders. He has also taken part in the 2010 series of Strictly Come Dancing. He plays the role of James Holloway on E!'s The Royals.
Early & Personal LifeEdit
Maslen was born in Woolwich, London, England on 25 June 1971. As a young boy Maslen admired the Royal Marines and attended Bromley Marine Cadets on a Monday and a Thursday at T.S. Narvik in Bromley Common. He was brought up in Woolwich and signed up to join the Royal Marines with his school friends, Marcus Marnham and Simon Farnham at the age of 16. He later sustained an injury whilst doing the PRMC (Potential Royal Marines Course), resulting in him not gaining entry to the Recruit training course. He has been a vegetarian since the age of 18; he discussed this on appearances on both The Paul O'Grady Show and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. In 2009, he was voted as PETA's Sexiest Vegetarian alongside singer Leona Lewis.
He is married to Estelle Maslen (née Rubio), who is the mother of his son Zak Alexander Maslen (born January 2001). The couple were together for nine years before they were married on 6 September 2008. Several of Maslen's co-stars were in attendance at his wedding, including: Samantha Womack, Rita Simons, Charlie Clements, Jo Joyner, Steve McFadden, Barbara Windsor, Patsy Palmer, Diane Parish and Perry Fenwick.
He is best friends with his EastEnders co-star Samantha Womack, whom he has known since they were teenagers, and her husband Mark Womack. He is also godfather to their two children, Lily-Rose and Benjamin Womack. Benjamin is also best friends with Maslen's son Zak.
Maslen is a keen carp fisherman, and has been involved in many charity events.
Maslen has admitted that he once feared that he killed a man during a street fight. Maslen said that the incident happened after he went to help a friend who had phoned Maslen to say that he was being racially abused. Of the incident, Maslen said:
"I met him there and he knocked on their door. He received a complete tirade of racist abuse from this 40-something geezer, the father of some of the boys. We were just 16. I was about 15st and had just been sitting on the wall listening. Suddenly it had all gone off and turned very nasty. The father went back in the house, I thought to call the police, but actually came back outside with a baseball bat. One of the kids pulled a bit of steel piping from a nearby skip. He swung it into my ribs, then into the side window of a car. I was an animal trapped up a dead end street. Somehow I grabbed the piping, went back up the street and whacked the dad. We ran off. It was a mad two minutes. I stayed up that night studying for my O level history exam the next day but all the time in the back of my mind thinking 'maybe I killed him'." Maslen has also been attacked twice, once by a football hooligan and once after he started a fight. Of the attacks Maslen said:
"Following West Ham I remember getting a boot in the face at Crystal Palace's ground. I was only about 14. Personally, I overstepped the mark just once. I started taking the p*** but picked the wrong bloke. I thought it had all died down but an hour later in the toilets he hit me in the back of the head with a cosh and then spun me around and struck me again. I knew I just had to take it as a weapon was involved. I think that what's saved me." Maslen has said that it was these incidents that made him turn his life around.?
In April 2015, Maslen admitted that he had rejected the chance to return to EastEnders saying "I didn't want to go back just 18 months after leaving. There is an element of snobbery with soaps. It means people in the industry don't see you as an actor, they see you as a commodity."
At age 18 he went to Miami and was spotted by photographer Bruce Weber. As a result of this encounter he began a career as an international model. Five years later, he turned to acting. After training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama he landed a role in the successful television series Lock, Stock... in 2000. He has also played the live action rendition of Claude Speed in DMA Design's promotional video and opening sequence for Grand Theft Auto 2. After a few more television and film roles he landed his part in The Bill in 2002.
On 13 July 2007 it was announced that Maslen would be leaving The Bill and joining the cast of EastEnders as regular character Jack Branning. His love interest was Ronnie Mitchell, played by best friend Samantha Womack. Both actors commented that they were uncomfortable doing love scenes since they have known each other most of their lives and are like brother and sister. Maslen left EastEnders on 15 October 2013.
Maslen performed in the pantomime Aladdin at the Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth over the Christmas/New Year period of 2013/14. He will perform the same pantomime at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury over the Christmas/New Year period of 2014/15. He will perform it again at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley over Christmas/New Year 2015/16.
Strictly Come DancingEdit
Maslen participated in the 2010 series of Strictly Come Dancing with professional dancer Natalie Lowe and his performances were favourably received by the judges. He was the 2nd celebrity of 2010 to score a 10 from the judges, following fellow EastEnders actress Kara Tointon scoring a 10 for her Pasodoble in week 5, the same week where Maslen scored three 10s for his Viennese Waltz. In week 7 he also received three 10s for his Jive, with Bruno stating that it was the best Jive since former EastEnders star Jill Halfpenny's in Series 2, and received just one point less. Maslen showed a natural talent for dancing, topping the leaderboard on many occasions, however was eliminated in week 11 of the series.

Does your computer freeze randomly. By freeze I mean the screen locks up doing whatever it was doing and the mouse cursor does not respond to mouse input. Keyboard input also fails which means you actually cannot do the Ctrl+Alt+Del either.
Here are two solutions that may fix the problem.
1. Remove and re-seat your Video Card and RAM in their sockets. It may sound simple but this actually fixed my erratic freeze problem.
2. Use a Graphics card in your PC instead of depending on onboard graphics. Many a time this is the reason why your monitor turns a blue tinge or shows an affinity to a particular color tone (your monitor is perfect). Over gradual use the motherboard becomes strained. So why not let the Graphics board take over that role. Additionally most Graphics cards support DVI and HDMI and dual monitor capability and don't cost the roof. Your movies and games also look much better on these cards.
Disclaimer - Perform the instructions carefully and at your own risk. Don't hold me responsible if something were to go wrong.

A modest social experiment in which an average white guy with harsher-than-average film opinions sits down to watch and offer honest and open reactions to all of African-American writer/director Tyler Perry's movies. Follow along with his reaction.
Today's installment: Diary of a Mad Black Woman
0:00:30 – Open on Atlanta; opening credits don't seem mad at all. In fact, they're quite…wait, is this a Disney movie?
0:00:41 – "and introducing Tyler Perry;" I suppose that's an appropriate beginning to this project.
0:003:16 – Is the narrator really the same as this actress they are showing? The voice does not match. Also, she has a very Film Noir quality to her narration. I assume this is intentional? Is there a fedora-wearing private detective in this movie?
0:04:01 – She finally talked…I guess it is her.
0:04:24 – Oooh. Helen and Charles are NOT a happy couple. If only there was a large black man in drag to lighten things up a bit.
0:04:50 – Charles seems like a great guy. Any woman would be lucky to have him.
0:05:52 – …and there's the diary. Now, just waiting for "solemn and thoughtful complaining" to become "mad."
0:06:38 – Dun dun duuuuuun. Charles has a secret family?!
0:07:16 – This dude better be dead by the second act. What a dickweed.

Cruising the Foss
MOST boaters are unaware that in addition to the Ouse in York, the city has another navigable river.
This is the Foss, with Michael Cadoux, IWA North Riding Branch, explaining:
Operated by request
Castle Mills Lock on the Foss in York is operated on request by members of IWA North Riding Branch, as a free service to all boaters. This has been agreed with the navigation authority, York City Council.
All passages are subject to water levels in the Foss.
No overnight mooring
There is no overnight mooring available on the river, so it is necessary to book both passages. It is, however, an attractive mile-and-a-half of secluded and interesting waterway for a return trip within the day. Larger boats are advised to turn at Wormalds Cut; a 40ft narrowboat can turn further upstream; or two narrowboats breasted nose-to-taiil can use one to drive up and the other to drive back.

-dactyly Also -dactyla, -dactyl and -dactylous.
Having fingers or toes of a given type.
[Greek daktulos, finger, plus -y3.]
An animal or person exhibiting syndactyly (Greek sun, with) has some or all of the fingers or toes united, either naturally, as in web-footed animals, or as a malformation; brachydactyly (Greek brakhus, short) is the state of having abnormally short fingers or toes; in zoology polydactyly (Greek polloi, many) is the state of having more than five fingers on a hand or toes on a foot.
Words in -dactyla are names of orders of hoofed mammals: Artiodactyla (Greek artios, even) comprises those with an even number of toes, such as pigs, camels, deer, and cattle; Perissodactyla (Greek perissos, uneven) comprises those with an odd number, such as zebras, horses, and tapirs. Other systematic names in this ending are obsolete.
The ending -dactyl either marks adjectives relating to the state indicated by -dactyly or -dactyla, or nouns indicating an individual of that nature: polydactyl, syndactyl, artiodactyl, perissodactyl. One example always a noun is pterodactyl (Greek pteron, wing), a fossil warm-blooded flying reptile of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The -dactylous ending (see -ous) generates adjectives with a similar sense to -dactyl, but which are less common: polydactylous, zygodactylous.

Print info'
I am happy to announce that I am now able to provide high quality signed "Giclee" prints of my art work. These will be hand signed and numbered by myself. Giclee prints are extremely high resolution digital inkjet prints, made by using specialised printers. Only the best high quality vivid inks are used on high quality archival paper. Prints are sharp and detailed with impressive colour and vividness that will last 200 years plus.
The paintings will be printed on Hahnemuhle German Etching 310 gsm paper. A heavy duty textured paper with a velvety matt surface, which reproduces painterly images wonderfully.
Each print has a 1/2 inch white boarder for ease of mounting, so the actual image size is smaller than the paper size by 1 inch. Prints will be signed and numbered under the image in pencil.
I am offering 5 different sizes of paper, 10x8,12x10 and 16x12 inches, then A4 and A3 sizes, depending on the original ratio of the painting. A4 is aproximately 12x8 inch, and A3 is approximately 17x12 inch.
It is always best to wait for the prints to arrive, before sizing the perfect frame and mount. If you want any other sizes, feel free to message me, and I can see if it would be possible and get a price.

FAQs: maternity photo sessions
- How do I get to the studio?
- What do people buy and what do they do with their pictures?
- When should I schedule my shoot?
- What should I wear or bring?
- What does the photographer provide?
- What should I wear to a maternity shoot?
- How should I prepare for my shoot?
- What should my husband wear?
- Do you photograph newborns?
- Do you offer any referral incentives?
- Do you offer gift certificates?
- These images are very private. Can I restrict usage?
- Can I get the digital files?
What do people buy and what do they do with their pictures?
People get two types of photos; one that they can share with their friends and family (usually fully clothed) and another set that they can enjoy in private (the nudes).
This often breaks down into two different books.
Most people get a book (up to 40 prints in a book) or a box (up to 12 prints in the large box) and a wall portrait.
The very large wall portraits have the greatest impact and, believe it or not, make small spaces feel larger. To see how some people have displayed their artwork, visit the decorating with photography gallery.
When should I schedule my shoot?
I advise six to ten weeks before your due date, but..... Scheduling depends on how your pregnancy is coming along. Schedule earlier if you're slowing down or having multiples.
Schedule any time within that window - or even closer to your due date - if you're feeling great and you like your shape.
What should I wear or bring?
Bring anything you feel comfortable in and LOVE. Pants - jeans (any color), black pants Shirts - big, white, button-down rumpled man's shirt Tanks - anything fitted or stretchy in solid colors (white, black, red, blue...) Avoid patterns, stripes and plaids unless they truly are a big part of your identity. Here's a complete, printable Maternity Portrait Photography Prep Sheet...
What does the photographer provide?
Lots of background colors including white, black, brown, gray, green, pink and cream. Most women opt for white or black, but we can create whatever suits your taste.
White and gold drapery
How should I prepare for my shoot?
Get a manicure and a pedicure a day or two in advance.
Plan makeup. If your package doesn't include the onsite makeup artist, you'll get the best photos if you do your own makeup or visit a makeup center prior to your shoot.
Call to talk about these options.
Don't wear anything binding to the shoot - you don't want marks on your skin.
More beauty tips for a pregnacy shoot.
Do you photograph newborns?
Yes! The add-on is only $750. For those maternity portrait clients who book a newborn baby shoot along with any maternity shoot, enjoy this specially priced bonus.
Please note that to take advantage of this special offer, you must book a newborn shoot at the same time as the maternity shoot.
Do you offer any referral incentives?
Personal referrals make up the strongest, most solid way to grow a business and I value your goodwill. I will credit you with $100 towards any presentation item of your choice from prints, memory books to folios or frames.
Do you offer gift certificates?
I offer gift certificates for full and partial portrait sessions printed on 100% cotton paper and beautifully gift-wrapped.
Purchase a Newborn Baby Photography or Maternity portrait session gift certificate...
"I wanted to give my daughter something more than just another onesie or a monogrammed blanket. I know she'll cherish these photos forever - and so will her son!"
Mary Webster, New York, NY
These images are extremely private. Can I restrict the photographer's use?
This is a common request. I completely understand that you might not want to share these very personal images with the world. Just let me know and I will most certainly respect your privacy.
Can I get a CD or digital files?
Every client receives a CD with all your proofs at 5x7 inches @ 72dpi. This size is perfect for screensavers and emailing to friends and family.
The low-resolution digital files are not dense enough for printing.
If you're interested in acquiring high resolution files, you may purchase groups of retouched digital negatives once your total investment reaches $3,000. Sets of five are $895; the files are 1920 x 2880 pixels.
You may purchase the entire shoot of unretouched (that's righ - icky, raw files), high-resolution files for non-commercial use (that would just be sooooo wrong). Be prepared to sign away that you're cool with this - oh - and I still own the copyright to the images.
Additionally, you'll agree never to sell, distribute in any form existing now or in the future or otherwise financially profit from these images.

To be completely honest, getting the certification will be the easiest route and the most beneficial. Certified technicians make more money, find jobs quicker, and are able to be promoted much easier as opposed to those who don't get certified and took another route.
Which Pharmacy Technician certifications are approved in Nevada?
Currently the only approved certification is the PTCB.

Yes, if you plan to work as a Pharmacy Technician you'll need to receive a license from the state board of Nevada.

- You must possess a high school diploma or GED
- You must pass a criminal background check
Does my Pharmacy Technician license ever expire in the state of Nevada?
Yes, your license will expire on the 31st of October and must be renewed prior to this date to avoid consequences such as termination or hold of employment.
Is there any training required to become a Pharmacy Technician in Nevada?
No, the state doesn't require any specific training. However, if you do not have a certification, you'll need to either complete 1,500 of documented training by your employer, be trained by the armed forces, or complete an ASHP accredited training program before you can become a Pharmacy Technician.

Subject: My Beagle
Hellow Woefkesranch!
Thanks to you, four years ago I've bought a beagle puppy to take away to Russia. His name is Ileen van de Woefkesranch, and he's grown up to be a beautiful dog, very independent and self-sufficient, like all the beagles, but a nice temperament and well adjusted to a city life in every way.
He was bought as a pet, with a not-FCI-pedigree, but unexpectedly began to make success at the show ring. Now he is a multiple class-winner, several times Best of Breed and even a Group winner! He is finished for a championship long ago, but they deny him a Champion title because of his "unproper papers".
His pedigree, which I received by mail, under close examination turned out to be a photocopy, not an original (which of course was noticed by our kynological officials, and which was extremely embarrasing for me, as I never expected something like that!). Besides, they always need an EXPORT pedigree for the "foreign" dogs. When we talked about pedigree, I remember, I asked for an export pedigree, and was promised to get an export one. I tried to contact V.O.E., who issued the pedigree, but they were very uncooperative, and were not interested to do anything about it.
Is it possible to get a proper export pedigree for my Ileen?
I'm quite happy with my beagle as he is, I really don't need this champion certificate, he is the best champion for me, but I think it's a little bit unfair for his future and his progeny (he's sired three litters and it will be more I'm sure).
I'd appreciate it greatly if you could help me with this problem.

Do they know it's winter?
More than a week since our holiday and we are again fully acclimatised to life in Santiago. School and nursery have picked up from where they left off happily for all concerned. Disconcertingly the weather has been unusually mild again which only serves to confuse matters once one has convinced oneself it is indeed winter in June. However a quick round of colds and winter ailments has successfully reinforced the idea that despite soaring temperatures in the afternoon the winter solstice is in fact approaching although without the heart-warming prospect of Christmas or anything remotely similar in sight... I have tried asking people if there is any kind of mid-winter festival or celebration to lift the spirits but apparently not. Perhaps it's because winter here is generally less bleak, shorter and sunnier than the one we previously knew and loved but it's difficult to say. Anyone reading this blog may have noticed more than a passing reference to the incongruity of climate and calendar but I'm afraid I can't help it as it's probably one of the most disorientating aspects of being here. I hadn't before realised just how ingrained the seasons and months and their northern-hemisphere-specific connotations had become as an intrinsic and fundamental aspect of my psyche... At the moment in spite of the deceptively pleasant afternoons, in the mornings and at night it still feels like December and one longs to be able to savour some of the treats we missed out on last Christmas. Which brings me neatly on to a subject I have been meaning to deal with for about eight of the last nine months but somehow never got round to it: Chilean food. I think I'll wait till the next post before tackling that particular can of worms (not literally of course)...

The Top 4 Factors You Should Consider when Sizing Your Water Heater
If you are familiar with fashion trends, you must have come across size-fit clothing. Yes, those one-size-fits-all clothes. You're now asking how that is related to water heaters. Well, it's not. Especially that part — the "one-size-fits-all" part.
That is why Orem plumbing companies recommend you use the right size of water heaters to match your needs for efficient water heating. If the water heater is very large, you will end up paying more for hot water you never get to use; meanwhile, a small water heater will deny you the comfort of having hot water sufficient for your whole family.
Typically, the size of a water heater will depend on whether it is a tank or tankless. And here are four sizing factors you need to consider when choosing one.
For Tank Water Heaters
1. The first-hour rating (FHR) – This rating indicates the amount of hot water a tank heater can produce within the first hour of use. A water heater with a high FHR will best suit the needs of large households. You can always confirm your water heater's FHR from the yellow Energy Guide label.
2. The peak hour demand – This rating refers to the amount of water your family uses on average, in a busy hour. Calculate your peak hour demand to determine whether the size of a particular water heater is right for you.
For Tankless Water Heaters
1. The flow rate – Since tankless heaters simply heat water as you need it, it is advisable to find one that can heat enough water at any particular time you need to use hot water.
2. Temperature rise – How hot do you need your water to be? While most tankless heaters come with temperature controls, you do not want one whose optimal temperature rise is lower than your heating needs.
Choosing the right size of water heaters from reputable plumbing companies will ensure you have enough hot water for your use at home or work. This may also help you save on utility bills.
One-size-fits-all never applies when sizing water heaters. Choose wisely.

The right course forward
THREE a.m. starts are always worrying as there is a fear the alarm may not work or you just might end up turning it off without realising and miss your flight.
Even though I won't describe myself as an anxious traveller, in a situation where I have to get up in the middle of the night after barely a couple of hours of sleep for a long journey, I prefer to stay awake.
Last Sunday was no exception. Reading doesn't work for me as I have been trained, like so many others since childhood, to read myself to sleep. Reading is a pleasure and if you are a bit tired it is the perfect way to relax and drift off to sleep.
If one has to stay awake what better noise than our wonderful news TV channels to keep one company? There was a time when news presenters used to go through their script and speak in calm, 'projected' voices. Now shouting their cues or introduction to news stories and packages is the norm.
At about 0200 I saw a Tweet from an unfamiliar handle, calling on 'Ashiquain-i-Rasool (PBUH)' to come out on to the streets as 'Ghazi' Mumtaz Qadri's family members had had their last meeting with him and he was scheduled to be executed within a couple of hours.
The TV screen presented a business-as-usual scene for a few more minutes and then one channel started running a ticker confirming what was in the Tweet. It also said the time for the execution of the man convicted of killing Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer had been set at 0430.
Being driven to Karachi airport at around 0415 I noticed an unusually large number of bearded men riding two to a motorcycle, with some seemingly sharing jokes and laughing, headed in the same direction as us.
The impediments will be many but the fight must go on. The state must establish its credentials as the one entity that is committed to enforcing the law without discrimination.
By the time we reached the Star Gate entrance to the airport, we found it blocked by dozens of motorcyclists with dozens more arriving every minute. There was hardly a policeman in sight apart from four or five in a lonely van who wisely stayed out of the protesters' and harm's way.
Forced to turn around and take a long circuitous route to approach the airport from a different direction we got near enough to the terminal to see the departures ramp blocked and heard slogans being raised by hundreds of protesters who had gathered across from the departure lounges.
Of course, I missed the flight and went back. I am told a short while later after successful negotiations with the protesters the Airport Security Force officials were able to convince them to clear the airport and go home. And they did and other passengers were able to reach the airport without a problem.
The next day with the assistance of some friends I was able to rebook my flight after paying an extortionate penalty as the airline wouldn't accept the force majeure argument. Nonetheless, some 27 hours later than planned I was airborne.
The idea of sharing my travel travails isn't to bore you but for this rather trivial example to illustrate what the state must do: carry on despite the pain because there is no other option. One cannot countenance the consequences of surrender.
It is equally important to keep the fight against fanaticism clean and simple and above board. It has been mentioned in these columns a number of times that the change in the state's strategic priorities may well be spooking its once-favourite sons and surrogates.
This was evident in many disparate religious denominations coming together for the Qadri funeral. However, for once the state seems on the right path to enable Pakistan to take its place in the comity of democratic, modern nations where all its citizens enjoy equal rights regardless of their faith, gender or ethnicity.
The impediments will be many but the fight must go on. The state must also establish its credentials as the one entity that is committed to enforcing the law without discrimination and restoring law and order to a country wracked for years by lawlessness.
Qadri supporters, despite the unequivocal verdict of the Supreme Court of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, will believe what they will about the shooting incident in which he mowed down the Punjab governor he had taken an oath to protect. The state demonstrably enforced its writ.
A similar course of action must be followed in the case of the secular but equally fanatical MQM. Attempts at 'engineering' a change in leadership or causing rifts in the ranks of the party in the past have merely served to cement its support.
Mustafa Kamal may have a clean track record in terms of violence associated with the MQM but the same can't be said about Anis Kaimkhani. Party insiders privately elaborate on the frontline role he played in executing all elements of party policy for decades.
What Mustafa Kamal says about his former leader has a ring of truth for some of us who have reported on the MQM for years but the party rank and file are not likely to believe him. Side by side with the whitewashing of Kaimkhani the whole episode speaks of yet another engineered change attempt.
This is wholly unnecessary. The law should take its course and should be enforced with single-mindedness of purpose. Choosing or rejecting a leader for a party is its business and not that of the state. All the while it indulges in such schemes it must be distracted from keeping its eye on the ball where it matters.
This can't be right.

Tool Self Declaration ISO 26000 (NEN)
The Dutch Mirror Committee ISO 26000 has developed together with National Standard Body NEN a practical tool to enlarge the credibility of organizations that are properly using ISO 26000 to integrate social responsibility.
The result is a national code of practice called: "Guidance on self declaration ISO 26000", with number: NEN NPR 9026.
The development and pilot testing took 1,5 year (from April 2010 till November 2011).
Since November 2011 more than 100 organizations have published the self declaration.
Please have a look at the Ducth Publication Platform: www.nen.nl/iso26000 (however language is Dutch)
40 guiding questions
The most important part of the NPR 9026 are the 40 guiding questions for the self-assessment (internal review) subdivided in 4 main elements of ISO 26000:
- SR principles
- Stakeholders (identification and engagement)
- SR core subjects and issues (relevance, significance, priority, actions and results)
- Implementation of SR throughout the organization.
Actually in the NPR the most essential content of ISO 26000 is transferred into questions. This process did not include any interpretation of ISO 26000. The questions are generic and in the answers an organization can show how they apply ISO 26000 in their specific situation.
Annexes with templates
In annexes 3 templates are provided for:
- statement of application by CEO
- reporting of the review: answers to the questions, evidence and practical examples
- a matrix on prioritization of core subjects and 37 issues (relevance, significance and priority).
Supporting tools
NEN has developed a web-based electronic tool that assists an organization in answering the questions and providing a report.
NEN facilitates a public website where organizations can post their statement of application with the supporting information. In this way the statements are transparently available to the general public and can easily be find.
Derived from the NPR questions also a quick scan and detailed scan have been developed, that an organization can apply to review its current position in applying ISO 26000.

Boucheron is a famous French jewelry house and one of the PPR subsidiaries.
Boucheron has compiled a classification system by which to determine the value of a diamond, developed on the basis of the diamond's international currency. The Boucheron method of appreciation has been registered under the name B.I.R.D. (Boucheron International Rating of Diamonds). This original classification system is based on an evaluation of diamond quality and relies on a combined analysis of two criteria: first, the degree of clarity and second, the colour of the stone. The point at which these two variables, "clarity" and "colour" intersect gives rise to a mark of appreciation of between 90/100 and 99/100 for the quality of the diamond. A mark of 100/100 would indicate that a stone possesses the ultimate degree of perfection, according to Boucheron's criteria.

Mick Harvey, co-founder and, besides Nick Cave, only constant member of The Birthday Party and later of The Bad Seeds, released an excellent album in 2005, called "One Man's Treasure". I saw him performing its songs in one of the five concerts he gave in Europe, together with Robert Ellis and James Jonhston, and asked him a couple of questions, which he kindly answered by email.
- How did you choose the songs you covered?
Mick Harvey: Mostly I endeavoured to record songs with which I felt a strong personal connection. Sometimes this connection was as much from a historic link or event as from a personal empathy with the precise contents but for the most part I do feel that empathy.
- They are not exactly on everybody's lips. Was their obscurity a criterion? (I knew only three!)
Mick Harvey: Certainly, some level of obscurity was a persuasive factor. To record very well known songs carries with it its own baggage. Also, the public not being so familiar with the material gives me a stronger sense of having made them mine to some degree which I suppose was intentional. So yes, their obscurity was attractive for a number of reasons.
- Could you please give me a short description of when you discovered each one of them, which version, your personal attachment to them etc. Do you have a favourite?
Mick Harvey: I certainly don't have a favourite. My son listens obsessively to "Hank Williams Said it Best", but then he doesn't LIKE any of the other songs.
"First Street Blues" I first heard at a Cabaret show by Meret Becker, she did a fantastic, overdramatic rendition, quite spellbinding actually. But of course I was really attracted to that laconic Lee Hazlewood melody (can a melody be laconic?) and eventually came across Lee's version and recorded mine almost immediately.
"Come Into My Sleep" is one of Nick Cave's songs which was relegated to a b-side. I think we (The Bad Seeds) felt we hadn't quite nailed a version of it and it actually wouldn't have fitted very well with the album we were recording at the time anyway (The Boatman's Call) or at least that was the feeling. I always loved the song and was most pleased when my take on it popped out without warning a few years back.
"Louise" is by Don Walker and was released about 10 years ago on an album by Tex, Don & Charlie in Australia only. It always struck me as a beautiful study of futility and hope wrestling with one another, the importance we place on love and whether or not it's all meaningless. A bit gut-wrenching really, but very brave. Maybe Don didn't mean it that way.
"Come On Spring" is on a one off album project by a group called 'Antenna'. My friend Kim Salmon was in the group and a co-writer (the singer of it too). It's a simple idea but a very charming one and I felt it deserved a non-electronic version.
"Demon Alcohol" is a country song by a friend from Denver called Bambi Lee Savage. She has one album out but this song isn't on it. I have it on an old demo on a fuzzy cassette tape.
"Man Without a Home" I wrote. The music and chorus about 6 years ago. The verses about 2 years ago... I think.
"Planetarium" belongs to Bruno Adams and his band 'Once Upon A Time'. I helped produce the album it was on back in the early 90's and it has stayed with me ever since.
"The River", a Tim Buckley song. His version is very light and meandering, the lyrics carry a very strong, specific feeling and I felt I could do a version which married the sense I got from the lyric with more concise music. That's what's there I think.
"Hank Williams Said it Best". A cute and clever song idea (on which I changed some of the words) about a song NOT written by Hank Williams about something which Jesus said, anyway. My son's favourite as I already said.
"Bethelridge" comes from an obscure-ish American guy called Robbie Fulks. There are a couple of really eerie songs on the album this is from. I didn't so much relate to the specific loss in the lyrics as I did the general atmosphere of loss which the whole creates.
"Mother of Earth" is an old Jeffery Lee Pierce song which has long been a favourite of mine and many of my friends. I'm still not so sure what it's about but as with 'Bethelridge' there is a very strange and unsettling mood created, in this case by the words more than anything else.
"Will You Surrender?" was written by me about 10 or more years ago.
- Is it one of your aims that people go and search for the originals after listening to your album?
Mick Harvey: I couldn't care less. My only aim is to make an album or songs which are affecting, from which people can take something for themselves. Research is the individuals' prerogative.
- How did you feel as a frontman on stage? Did you enjoy it?
Mick Harvey: Actually doing the singing and having to communicate verbally with the audience between songs was at once challenging and surreally absurd. It was a very different position to take up after all these years sitting on an instrument but at the same time I'm so used to playing shows that I felt quite comfortable in many ways. I was barely nervous about the situation either. I'm not sure why not but it could have something to do with not feeling I had anything in particular to lose. I was just going to sing the songs and if people didn't like it, I could go back to something else, or just keep doing it anyway. I just didn't really care. I think that worked in my favour, and I think people could see I was just interested in presenting the songs and appreciated that.

Dear Jim,
After purchasing your video and stage plans, we are implementing these in our children's church.
The instructions were very explicit and detailed, and very simple.!!! We have made one puppet so far and are working on the stage plans.
Thank you for making this valuable resource available,!!! it opens up a new world of imagination and ministry. I'm very excited about making more puppets, this is a great tool, for anyone to get started, since it takes you from beginning to end. Keep up the great work... Here's a picture of Stanley...Thank you so very much...J.W. - Nevada
We got your puppet pattern and video in the mail on Wednesday
and started cutting out the pattern on Thursday and finished
Uncle Matty today. We found the video easy to understand and
follow. It was a project our whole family was involved in. We
can't say that he is perfect...but who is? We think he has a
good bit of character. Here's a picture...

What do you think? Not bad for our first, huh? Uncle Matty

already started on our second puppet. Feel free to use this as a testimony.
Thank You!

I got the puppet videos this weekend, thanks. I have to say that it was very much worth the cost...... I'd like to let you know that the pattern you included with your video is way, way, far superior to the design/ pattern I purchased from .......... I got great instructions as well as a far superior body pattern for my puppets. (Ohio) Dear Jim,
My whole family enjoyed the YOU CAN DO IT video! My
third-grader was thoroughly encouraged by the end of the video
where the pink puppet takes shape in the hands of another
(gasp!) 8-year old! He was dually impressed by her sewing
skill. He's not a proficient sewer but he has been helping me
sew (loves to press the pedal to make the machine go) since he was about 2.
Thank you for your willingness to share your terrific ideas and
helpful suggestions with blossoming puppet artists!
:) Melissa (Pennsylvania)

3 DIY Face Scrubs
Hey everyone it's Caitlin here from over at
blogging through the mirror
and today I'm guest posting for the lovely Hanna! I thought I'd kick this blog post off by doing a DIY face scrub post because who really wants to spend loads of money of face scrubs that you can simply make by yourselves with things around your home!
Baking soda blackhead scrub:
1 table spoon of baking soda
1 table spoon of plain white sugar
2 table spoons of water
Exfoliate before applying this mixture. Mix all the ingredients up in a bowl and apply to exfoliated, damp skin. Scrub gently in circular motions. You can use this once a week.
*This one works really well for my tiny tiny stubborn blackheads on the sides of my nose! i tend to use this when they are really visible and i love this one its natural and has no chemicals that can harm your skin!*
Lemon, salt and sugar scrub:
2 table spoons of salt
juice from half a lemon
add sugar until the mixture is solid but not dry
Mix up all the ingredients in a bowl and gently massage the scrub into your skin, all over the face and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
*This is a great scrub the salt exfoliates your dry and flaky skin and the lemon dries up your pores and draws out any dirt in your pores the sugar also works as an exfoliator! I find when i use this it brightens my skin and after researching lemon does brighten your complexion so brilliant when i have a dull skin day! I do tend to use a moisturizer after this just to stop the lemon further drying out my skin after I've washed the scrub off, just to be on the safe side!*
Banana and sugar face scrub:
1 ripe, peeled banana
1/4 cup of normal white sugar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
Mash the banana in a bowl and add both of the sugars into the banana and mix so its a paste like consistency. Massage the paste onto your face and leave for 10-15 minutes and rinse with warm water.
*now i can see you all reading this and saying 'who on earth in their right mind would put a banana on their face' the answer to that is me! i have really de-hydrated skin which results in dry flaky skin, now since trying this mask they flaky skin has vanished! this adds moisture to your skin while the brown sugar exfoliates and white sugar digs out dirt in your face. So now tell me would you rather have a banana on your face or dry flaky skin!*
I really hope you enjoyed this blog and if you give them a go leave a comment on my blog or down below here. It's been really fun sharing with you all my top face scrubs and there will be more DIYS coming up back on my blog. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)
If you enjoy this blog post I have a series of them I've got DIY face masks, hair care and even a lush lip scrub! If you want to give those a read AFTER you've read this one ;) head on over to:

Hello Everyone,
If you are in the market for a nutritionist that will balance your sheep diets with your forage samples, recommend grain feeding levels (if grain is fed) and balance your own custom mineral mix using my bk Sheep Base products AND then provide you with what the consumption rate of this mineral mix would be please check out my website www.bksheep.com for more details. On my website under the "contact us" tab I have a form you can fill out and then email direct to me.
No flock to small and for large flocks I can custom formulate a more specific vitamin pak. Not many companies will do this. I do not use thumb rules like "just add 2 - 5 lbs of this premix to 50 lbs of white salt and call me when you need more product". And yes, some sheep need phosphorus if the forage sample test to low in phosphorus.
I have customers in over 30 states and a Province in Canada. Thanks, Bill K

Re: Nutrition Service

glad to know of your serveries.
What is your batch size minimum for a custom vit & min premix that I can trough mix with salt here?
I actually need several different ones for different times of the year depending on my feed sources here at those times and it would work better to just stock the premixes vs the complete vit / mineral with all the salt.
the mill I use now has a one ton minimum regardless of whether it is a premix or complete product. Takes a while to use a ton of premix
Thanks, Andy

The company I work with has a smaller mixer that will do 500 lb batches. Please email me direct or better yet, if you go to my website http://www.bksheep.com and under the "contact us" tab you can fill out a flock information sheet that is the email directly to me. Thanks

Sanction Work Programme Providers
If an unemployed person refuses to take part in the Work Programme, they would risk losing their benefit. At least two Work Programme providers refuse to accept me. One has even threatened me with arrest for trespassing if Jobcentre Plus sends me to them. I am calling for the government to sanction Work Programme providers who refuse to accept persons sent to them by ending their contract to provide the Work Programme. There cannot be one rule for the unemployed and another for Work Programme providers.
