Monday 11 September the Australian Senate voted to approve the Product Emissions Standards Bill.
The Rules (Regulations) are being drafted and Industry has a further meeting with the Environment Department tomorrow.
The Rules are planned to commence next year, with the final imports of high emission outboards and mowers on 30 June 2018. Wholesalers and Dealers will then have a year to sell off old stock. All of this was announced in January – giving Industry 30 months clear notice – though regulations in general were in process since 2015.

Epic rod build I had been tossing it up for a while; it is after all a big decision. Will I or will I not build my own fly rod? There are quite a lot of things to consider when you want to head down the path that is building your own rods of any type. The first thing that came to mind for me was, is it really worth doing. It is just so easy to walk into your local tackle store have a cast of the rod you are interested in, make the purchase and walk out the door again safe in the knowledge that you have an exceptionally well finished off rod with all the factory rod warranty trimmings to boot.

There's lots of different anglers out there, lure bait and fly. There's those who like to put a fish on the table, those who only catch and release. We all catch fish and we all need to be able to release a few or a lot of fish with as little harm as possible, so we can hopefully return and meet again one day.
As a group we are more aware of the need to conserve fish stocks and responsively harvest according to bag limits. Being a competition fly fishing angler, over the past decade I have seen catch rates amongst my peers soar, where once 3 fish would win a 3 hour session and a single fish in each of the 4 sessions would see you finish in the top 5. Now 6 fish a session is the norm and you need between 20 and 30 trout to win a competition.
Catching the bag limit is often reached and releasing fish is an every outing occurrence.

One of the most appealing things about fishing is the endless opportunity to lean or discover something new. This is what keeps me keen. Trying something new in fishing and have it pay off is like adding another tool to your fishing arsenal. It could be a new technique or type of lure, fly or bait that sparks an idea to try something new in your own backyard. Knowledge and ideas are gained through your own experiences on the water and through your interaction with other anglers. Some may have had 40 years of experience on the water while others could be just discovering the sport for the first time.
Either way, you can learn something from anyone, as long as you're willing to listen and share your own humble thoughts and experiences.

Spinning reels are coming to market in a new range and size every other day. The Tasmanian Angler is spoilt for choice and it's a great problem to have. Egg beaters are what we love to call these types of reels and for good reason. We are finding them used for a greater range of fishing styles than just spinning.

As the years progress and the fishing gods pull you further under their spell (and your partner allows you) somehow you seem to gather quite a collection of gear. Fly rods are no exception to this rule and I have even had to build an outside room so I am able to keep my collection away from certain eyes, if you know what I mean!. In recent years light line fishing has become more and more popular. With the number of people now going "Twigging" increasing, so to is the availability of the lighter line weight rods in varying lengths. Twigging is commonly referred to as fishing with 3 weight rods or lighter. You can now buy rods right down to a 000 line weight, and by the time you read this I will have one in the rod rack ( thanks Nick). Until that rod arrives at Essential Fly Fisher from the US the 3wt is as light as I own. Over the past few years I have become a lot more interested in the smaller stream fishing. There is just so many of these streams all around the state that are full of hungry fish it seems crazy not to fish them. As a result of this stream and river fishing I have built a small collection of 3wt rods.

Snap weight trolling was developed in North America for targeting suspended or structure hugging walleyes. To successfully target suspended or bottom hugging fish, no matter what species, requires a special presentation of your lure or bait. Downriggers are without doubt the best tool for precise presentations at depth, but can be a costly exercise if you are trolling in snag infested water, and you hang up your bomb on a submerged tree or rock. A snap weight line can easily be run in conjunction with a leadcore line, flat lines or downriggers. In addition, snap weight lines are perfect as planer board lines with either in line boards or double trolling boards, but let's not worry about them here. The snap weight technique will prove a valuable asset for any dedicated troller as it will allow you to troll more deep lines without a downrigger or leadcore line. Places like Arthurs in deeper water, Great Lake, Dee Lagoon, Barrington and all the West coast waters are ideal for this technique.

Short and Soft?
More versatility, greater accuracy and better feel I like to river fish. In fact I always have, since I was a boy growing up in St Leonards on the North Esk River.
We have recently received a Coroner's report in regards to a fatality in 2014.
Given that on a percentage basis (around 80%), of boats, are used for fishing it is important as many people as possible understand the absolute necessity and importance to maintain their inflatable life jackets according to the manufacturers recommendations.
The Coroner made some interesting points, these are shown below in italics.
4 new colours make their into the 4 inch Gulp! Nemesis range. The clear transluscent finish in Clear Purple Shimmer, Clear Red Black Silver, Clear Green Silver and Clear Lavender Pearl Holo is going to prove deadly on all manner of species.
Combine the fish catching profile of a Jerkshad and the enticing tail action of a grub and you get the Berkley Nemesis. Designed in Australia the Nemesis shape is now available in a 4" size. The tail action of this shape has to be seen to be believed. On the drop or on the wind, the Nemesis tail swims at the slowest of speeds delivering continuous lifelike action. View the PDF here

Tiller steer motor. In very good running condition. Can test drive on boat. No issues at all. One of Yamaha's most outstanding motors ever. Only reason for sale is due to upgrading to 4 stroke. Although I have put around 2000 exact model year is unknown. They still make this motor. Weight is about 50KGs. $1800. Motor is in Launceston.
What is it about catching bream on lures, or any fish for that matter, which makes an angler, buy all kinds of weird and wonderful lures to try and trick them? After spending the winter re organising and sorting out the tackle box, (numerous times) I discovered that there were lures in my collection, which have not caught a fish let alone seen a drop of water. There were hard bodies of all types, deep diving minnows, shallow water minnows, shads, surface lures and assorted soft plastics.
I was recently asked to conduct a comprehensive review of a drogue based on a design by Peter Hayes, but with further development and changes.
A drogue is simply a device that enables you to slow down the drift speed of your boat.

Tonic Polarised Eyewear, the new leader in high quality fishing sunglasses, has released the new Rise in time for summer. Rise features the new SLICE lens, the thinnest and lightest polarised glass lens in the world.

It is extremely lightweight with our nonslip adjustable nose pads giving all day comfort. This is definitely a world class product".
I was hoping Tasfish readers could help me identify this lure. It was found in Lake Mulwala and given to my Dad. It's only 4 cm long, not counting the bib, and only has one set of trebles, the rear is rounded and doesn't seem to have any holes where another hook may have been attached.
Only on current stock. Phone orders welcome.

These days it seems the internet is the first place most people refer to for information and advice on just about every product or service imaginable.
Unfortunately the easy access to posting information and opinion brings with it an increasing amount of misinformation, and sometimes just plain wrong advice from every keyboard expert in the land.
Tonic Polarised Eyewear, the new leader in high quality fishing sunglasses, is proud to announce the release of the new YouRanium style.
Developed with Brendan Wing of YouFishTV and named by the YouFishTV fan base, the YouRanium features a custom designed adjustable nose bridge that is fully integrated into the frame. While the frame is a standard fit, the adjustable nose bridge can be used to suit people with broken, low or wide nose bridges.

Someone Should Teach In Touch How A Divorce Works Because It's Unlikely Suri Cruise Will Forget Katie Holmes Exists
Everyone remain calm as you pass the newsstands this week. Spending time with Tom Cruise will not make Suri Cruise forget Katie Holmes. Unless something goes really wrong. Like she gets movie-style amnesia in an attempt to avoid starting school next month. Or Tom Cruises replaces her brain with Scientology technology that we don't know exists.
Even though I know In Touch usually pushes it with their incredibly salacious headlines, this week's "Forgetting Mommy Already?" really takes the cake. And this cake's not gluten-free or low-carb or vegan-friendly. Do with that information what you will.
As people who have grown up in modern society, we understand that children of divorce spend some time with their father and some time with their mother. (And obviously, Hallie Parker and Annie James are exempt from this rule.)
Spending time with one parent, no matter how awesome and over-the-top that time is, will not make children forget their other parent. Our in-house child pyschologist completely agrees with me. But I guess that's why we pay her big bucks to sit here all day — next to our in-house OB-GYN and our in-house body language expert — and agree with me.
So while I'm all for starting celebrity rumors and creating scandals out of candid photos, I'm not cool with blatant lies. Like Katie Holmes spending time devising a plan to win Suri Cruise back. That plan's already been devised in a custody agreement that I'm sure was drafted by 50+ lawyers.
Rest assured concerned Suri surrogate parents across America, she's going to know both her parents.

A very good friend sent me an article from the LA Times that ran this week that frankly made my skin crawl. I can't wait to see what the DrivingSales Community has to say about this one...
Meet Brad Newman.
By his own admission, Brad is "kind of a big deal." He's a self-described serial entrepreneur and the inventor of the first Facebook, although his version didn't catch on quite as well as Zuckerberg's. He now spends his time marketing Dental practices, but it is that black card in his hand that will likely make you want to make him visit one if he ever steps foot in your dealership. ;)
This is Brad's latest creation, the REVIEWERCARD. You see Brad feels that by waiving around his $100 REVIEWERCARD in your dealership he is putting you on warning that by giving him exemplary service, moving his RO to the front of the stack to save him time and heck, even cutting your prices to save him money is a fair exchange for a good review. Failure to do these things will most certainly get you a very negative review. Brad is careful not to say it in those terms, but it is certainly implied.
Not just everybody has the gall to be a card-toting member of the "I'm kind of a big deal" club like Brad, but I know that this customer often darkens the door of your dealership. I'll hold my comments and advice until the community has had a chance to weigh in. What do you think?
What do you do when faced with a Blackmailin' Brad? How do you handle a customer that makes it very obvious that they are willing to use their consumer voice in an attempt to "negotiate" with you?
Here is a link to the article as published.

Chevy 4G LTE Plan Prices Cut in Half
Chevrolet is a brand famous for the technology that it offers to drivers. Among its most popular vehicle technologies is the 4G LTE hotspot integrated into various models in the lineup. This 4G LTE technology allows drivers to gain access to the services and data that they need on the go.
Chevrolet is also a brand known for the value that it offers to drivers and it is now combining that value and technology into one convenient package.
According to a report from Digital Trends, Chevy 4G LTE plan prices are being cut in half.
Each of Chevrolet's 4G LTE data plans has been reduced in price by 50 percent. This means that the 1 GB plan is reduced to $10 a month, the 4 GB plan has been reduced to $20 a month, and the 10 GB plan has been lowered to $40 a month.
This reduction in price makes one of Chevrolet's most popular features more accessible to drivers. With the 4G LTE capabilities built into some of Chevy's most popular models, such as the Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu, this is some welcome news.
If you are looking for a high-tech Chevrolet vehicle to drive with 4G LTE, be sure to check out the lineup of vehicles at Bill Walsh Streator and the Bill Walsh GM Superstore!

This card was inspired by the Paper Players challenge #297.
I was so excited to do this challenge that I ran down to make a card immediately without stopping to double check ALL the details. The result was that my first card didn't actually use three of the tic tac toe elements that actually lined up in a row. Oops! I guess the point of a challenge is to inspire, so it definitely worked! With a few slight modifications, such as tracking down a paper clip, I completed the challenge.
Let's talk about crooked panels for a second. I really wanted a crooked panel as the background for this card, with a nice 90 degree angle at the top. My first instinct was to turn my paper at an angle, glue it on, and cut off the excess. I had the glue poised and ready… and then I realized I was about to waste a whole sheet of 6″ by 6″ paper for a card that isn't even 4 inches wide.
Don't make the same mistake I almost made!
It is more economical (and easier, too) to cut the paper the correct width to match the bottom of the card and then create a nice 90 degree angle at the top.
I'm a picture person. I have to see it for it to really have an impact, so in case you are like me, here is a graphic to demonstrate what I'm talking about:
Once I got that figured out, the rest was all pretty simple. Some rectangles, some Botanical Builder dies, some dimensionals to hold it all together.
I did have a lot of fun with Stampin' Write markers on this project. I drew details, like stripes and dot patterns on my flowers and leaves to add some texture and a little bit of fun. You can see some close ups below. I also colored my designer series paper; it is normally Very Vanilla hexagon patterned and I colored it with Daffodil Delight to coordinate with my flowers.
Thanks for visiting and happy stamping everyone!

Join our email list to receieve updates about new EDA News and Events.
The Howard County Economic Development Authority (HCEDA) cut the ribbon and opened the door on Millworks, a new business resource center and coworking space on Main Street Ellicott City, named after the towns legacy as a mill town.
The center, which is located at 8098 Main Street, will provide a central location for businesses and property owners to gain access to business and recovery resources.
"We are grateful to have such an amazing team of partner organizations committed to helping us rebuild Ellicott City," said Lawrence Twele, CEO of the HCEDA. "After all the work we have done to help the businesses here it only felt right to continue this journey alongside them in the heart of Ellicott City as they continue the rebuilding process."
Organizations participating in the center include the HCEDA, SBA (Small Business Administration), SBDC (Small Business Development Center), DHCD (Maryland Department of Housing & Community Development), Preservation Maryland, One EC Recovery Project and the Ellicott City Partnership (ECP).
"The property owners, business and residents of Main Street and the West End have made a remarkable recovery in the last six months, but we know there is still more to do," said Howard County Executive Allan H. Kittleman. "The presence of this resource center on Main Street is another commitment of our resolve to continue working with the community and rebuilding Ellicott City as a model resilient community."
Coworking space and free WI-FI will be made available during business hours for individuals looking for a place to work for the day, along with space for special events and training.
"We want this to be a place for the community," said Twele. "We want people to come into Ellicott City often to see what is going on here and to be a part of the rebuilding process."
Two additional offices on the upper floor will be leased out for business use. The Ellicott City Partnership will take over one of the office spaces, after selecting Millworks as the new location for their organization on Main Street.
The other office will be occupied by NextLOGiK, Inc., a resident company at the Maryland Center for Entrepreneurship, who will be using the space as an additional location outside the incubator.
"We are humbled to be a part of rebuilding historic Ellicott City," Says Kirk Couser, CEO NextLOGiK. "Our community has shown how strong it is in the wake of disaster and has come together to not only rebuild and restore but revitalize. We look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead through our partnerships with the Howard County Economic Development Authority and Ellicott City Partnership."
Millworks will be open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, starting Monday, January 23. The building was available for rent at the time of the flood.

I love this book. It's a small book, but filled with lots of great information!
In More than a Carpenter, Josh McDowell responds to common arguments with great evidences, not only from the Bible, but also from secondary and secular sources to prove not only that the Bible is true and without error, but also that Jesus is who He says He is.
I totally recommend this book to everybody, no matter where you are in your walk with Christ.

The last of my sexy Ellora's Cave "Hex Appeal" books is out today. It's called "Wickedly Good". Here's more info:
It's wrong. Wicked. As coven priest, Aston should know better. But he can't help his feelings for Gemma. Too bad she likes his brother Drew—his no-good, cheating, engaged brother who takes what he wants regardless of who gets hurt. Aston tries to warn Gemma, but when he steps into his brother's room and the lights go out and she presses herself against him…
Air witch Gemma has lusted after Drew for years. When she gets her chance to spend a steamy night with him, she takes it. As he makes love to her in the darkness, as he makes her come again and again, she can't help but think he's different somehow—taller, more thoughtful. And that facial hair that abrades her skin in some seriously naughty places…how did he grow that so fast?
By day, Aston seems dark and frightening. By night, he rocks Gemma's world. If he could only convince her to see the truth—he may not be his brother, but he loves her more than Drew ever could.
Buy from: Ellora's Cave, Amazon, Amazon UK.

Montessori Environment
I really like how the author of this post really gets down to the fundamental of Montessori – providing the rich environment and showing the "why":
Another post of the same author's – equally balanced:
To emphasize her points in Montessori terms – that rich environment is one which provides the "keys". We don't "worry" about mastery of math facts or of reading by a certain age – but we do utilize those natural ebbs and flows within a child's development to provide corresponding sets of keys, such that the child can take them in most deeply at certain times in life — then USE them when he, the individual, is ready to do so.
So we provide the keys to reading and writing and mathematics (among others) – and then the child can "read" or "have those facts memorized" when it works for him.
This is very different from those who are strong proponents of "Better Late than Early" who see Montessori only as an "Enforced Early Academics".
Montessori is about rich environment, sensory exploration, feeding a child's interests — providing keys for the fun of learning. REAL life experiences above all else.
The academics come naturally and without fight or harm, when the keys are in place.

FIFPro revealed it's inaugural Women's World XI to SI.com on Thursday, as it continues it's push to grow and develop the women's game.
The world union of football players has released a men's XI since 2005, so this is a big step in that sense.
The voting process and the final list
Professional players of 33 different nationalities across the globe were asked to name one goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards as to who they felt were the best in their position in over the entire year of 2015.
Below is the complete list for the FIFPro World XI Awards 2015:
Goalkeeper: Hope Solo (USA, Seattle Reign FC).
Defenders: Kadeisha Buchanan (Canada, West Virginia University), Wendie Renard (France, Olympique Lyonnais), Julie Johnston (USA, Chicago Red Stars), Meghan Klingenberg (USA, Portland Thorns FC).
Midfielders: Amadine Henry (France, Olympique Lyonnais), Carli Lloyd (USA, Houston Dash), Aya Miyama (Japan, Okayama Yunogo Belle).
Forwards: Anja Mittag (Germany, Paris Saint-Germain), Eugénie Le Sommer (France, Olympique Lyonnais), Célia Šašić (Germany, FFC Frankfurt).
Noticeable absences
The list overall, is one that most would agree on. However, there are some notable absentees. For example, Becky Sauerbrunn (USA, FC Kansas City), Kim Little (Scotland, Seattle Reign FC) or Ada Hegerberg (Norway, Olympique Lyonnais) could have easily staked a claim for a place in the eleven.
No English players were featured either even though the nation finished third at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. One could argue that Lucy Bronze, (Manchester City W.F.C), who was named in the tournament's best XI, should also have been included in this team.
We look forward to seeing the players featured on this list to be also featured at the Ballon D'Or gala in the future, just as their male counterparts do on each occasion.

What to Do With Miguel Cabrera?
Since he helped the Florida Marlins win the 2003 World Series as a 20-year-old slugging prodigy, Miguel Cabrera has been one of the most consistently brilliant hitters in baseball. In the seven full seasons since split between the Marlins and Detroit Tigers, Cabrera has posted a batting average above .320 five times, hit 33 or more homers six times and never driven in fewer than 103 runs.
But for all that consistency, Cabrera has also fallen well short of reliability off the field. In October 2009, Cabrera blew a 0.26 on a Breathalyzer and spent a night in jail after a spat with his wife at his home in Michigan. Cabrera apologized to his teammates and underwent counseling after that incident, then bounced back with a notably warmer disposition and one of the best seasons of his career in 2010. Late Wednesday night, Cabrera was arrested in Florida more than 100 miles from the Tigers' spring training facility, on suspicion of driving under the influence and two counts of resisting an officer without violence. (Attempts to reach Cabrera through the Tigers were unsuccessful.)

Olympic champion diver Chris Mears knows what he would choose as his last meal on Death Row – and it would be epic.
"I can't just say one thing. You're going to eat yourself silly if you're in that position," he laughs in an exclusive video for FUEL.
Taking a deep breath, Chris who normally cuts out carbs from his diet to keep his weight down, says: "So I would start with an In & Out burger with sweet potato fries – as a side.
"Then I'd have a massive burrito – it's very important it's steak – with a load of guacamole, the hottest salsa you can have, calzone, that would be good with meatballs inside."
Clearly enjoying his unusual freedom, Mears continues: "Now I'm getting hungry. And I'd have a dessert on the side. Maybe an Eaton Mess."
And the super fit diver insists: "And I would be able to eat all of that. Because it's your final meal. You're going to manage all of it."

For many, spring symbolizes change and renewal. We're more likely to try new diets, work-out routines and healthier lifestyles. As a teacher and student of yoga, I've observed and experienced its benefits. While there's never a perfect time to start a new routine, Yoga For A Healthy Spring, personally, it seems spring is the best season to begin.
Tips For A Healthier Spring
Yoga: Practicing Patience
From the start, I was fortunate to gain flexibility and upper body strength early on in my yoga practice. Immediately, I discover a peaceful calm during and after yoga. But I also found certain poses were more challenging than others. Some yoga poses took more time and practice. During the process of learning these poses, I realized yoga requires patience, persistence and compassion.
Yoga: A Powerful Method In Healing
Practicing yoga results in a variety of health benefits. From lengthening and increasing muscle flexibility to decreasing blood pressure, respiration and heart rate. Yoga's practical techniques encourage relaxation and healing. And yoga's breath work and meditation, replenishes mind, body and spirit, whisking away, for example, preoccupations that bother you while awake and restlessness that interferes with sound sleep.
Alleviating Lower Back Pain With Yoga
According to The American Chiropractic Association, over 31 million Americans suffer from lower back pain. The causes of lower back pain vary, from minor injury resulting in a sprain back to chronic conditions such as arthritis or spinal stenosis. While it is difficult to determine the etiology of lower back pain, one thing is certain: it's chronic and debilitating, with sufferers constantly aware that any sudden movement can cause spasms and other types of discomfort.
Qualities Of A Safe Yoga Class
If you're new to yoga, and thinking about starting by taking it as part of a group, there are some things you should keep in mind that will ensure that you have a good instructor and experience.
Starting Your Meditation Practice
It took several years after I started teaching yoga to try to meditate. Here I am a yoga teacher and not meditating. It was sort of sacrilegious. I was well aware of the all the health benefits meditation has to offer and I understood deep down inside that it was a practice I needed, that it would help me and that I would come to at one point or another in my life.

I've had a run of bad luck lately, I can't seem to find a nice guy... So I'm wondering what kind of guys are interested in me...
Most Helpful Guy
Well Megs I can only respond to the picture you offer along with your username but I looked carefully and I can see all that the nicest guy you could wish for to see. I see that you are very pretty and very comely to look at ... and your eyes tell me the real story that a man worthy of you would instinctively look for. You eyes tell me that there is a lot going on in a very positive and I suspect open mind and a caring personality ... I know that anyone lucky enough to find you will be a very fortunate person indeed.
The problem is going to be where you meet this chap - I suspect you won't meet him in clubs or the usual relaxation places, you are more likely finding someone for whom the work of volunteering is a kind of relaxation and mind stimulating in a different way to his work or studies ... you want a frank honest opinion and that is what I feel from what you say and what I see.
I hope very sincerely Megs that you find this guy and that he will rock your world and sweep you off your feet and cherish you! Good luck in your quest!10|10|0

Info concerning University of New Brunswick nursing prerequisites, and registering for elective seminars and lectures. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? There are accredited nursing certificate programs that can help launch your career, performing a variety of medical services within a hospital setting. Concentrating on University of New Brunswick nursing prerequisites, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the RN department for course registration deadlines, and registered nurse program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for University of New Brunswick.
To become a Registered Nurse(RN), you will be required to take courses in medical terminology, patient care and life sciences. Although associate degree programs provide students with adequate nursing training, a bachelor's degree provides greater clinical exposure and a stronger general education. A 4-year BSN program allows students to study specialized areas of nursing, including pediatrics, geriatrics and mental health nursing. An RN has to cope with more responsibility, and must oversee the work of LPNs and CNAs under their supervision. If you wish to continue advancement, a masters degree and several years of experience as a nurse, may qualify you for the Nurse Practitioner (NP) credential. Nursing job openings are projected to grow 16 percent over the coming decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. The average salary for nurses with an Associates degree was $43,700 in 2017, while nurses with a Bachelors degree earned $67,490 per year.
Certification requirements include board certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The license period varies by individual state, but is usually valid for either two or three years, at which time you'll need to renew. Registered nurses (RNs) are not required to be certified in a particular specialty by state law. For example, it isn't necessary to be a Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) to work on a hospital Medical-Surgical (MedSurg) floor, and most MedSurg nurses are not CMSRNs. To keep your license current, you must take continuing education courses, and renew your license every few years. There are a fixed number of credits that each state requires, and if you work in a hospital facility, these courses may be offered on-site. Beyond major requirements within the RN department, you may consider San Bernardino Valley College horticulture programs as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Western Lakes Cycling Club decides to cancel its entire open road race programme for 2017
Western Lakes Cycling Club has decided to cancel its entire open road race programme for 2017 following a decision by Cycling Ireland not to allow the club to run its Ballinrobe 3 Day Road Race on the May Bank Holiday weekend.
The club ran the event in 2016 and over 100 riders took part.
In a statement today WLCC says: In September 2016 WLCC sent in its programme of open races for 2017, which contains ten open road races, including a three day, a two day, a crit and four other open races, which we have run for several years. Cycling Ireland accepted our dates and indeed published them on the draft Cycling Ireland calendar for 2017. As late as January 2017 Cycling Ireland informed us that we could not run the 3 Day on the May Bank Holiday weekend. The rule they cited for their decision was the following, Calendar Rule G8.5:
"Approval for an Event not previously entered on the calendar may be granted by the Provincial Secretary, but only after consultation with and approval from the Promoter, of any race scheduled for that day in an adjacent province with the exception of Sundays"
It is clear from the above that this rule is not applicable to WLCC as the race was indeed "previously entered on the calendar" in 2016. Therefore, Cycling Ireland has no grounds whatsoever to prevent our race going ahead. In fact, they themselves sanctioned the 2016 race and put it on their calendar and the race went ahead. Once the race went ahead a precedent had been set which makes Rule G8.5 irrelevant in this instance. Once we pointed this out, they quoted a completely different rule (G8.10) to justify their decision:
"In preparing the road racing calendar, dates will be reserved in advance of seeking general race applications for the following: All National Road Championships; National League dates; Established race dates; All Provincial Road Race Championships, which should take place on the same weekend."
Our race date had already been established in 2016.
The position Cycling Ireland is putting a progressive club like WLCC in is intolerable. We are working every day to promote cycling in the West of Ireland. In 2016, WLCC ran more open road races than any other club in Ireland and a third of all the open road races in Connacht.
There comes a time when a stance must be made and where clubs must face up to the National Governing Body.
We have made several attempts with Cycling Ireland over the last number of weeks to resolve the issue, but have faced officialdom and bureaucracy at every turn.
Therefore, faced with no other option, WLCC has decided to cancel our entire open road racing programme for 2017 in protest against Cycling Ireland's position. It is the riders who are losing out here due to the position this governing body has taken. We apologise to our fellow riders, who will not have the opportunity to participate in our races in Connacht, but we hope they and our fellow clubs around the country will understand our stance.
We believe we are being treated poorly by Cycling Ireland and while it's OK to run a three day in Ulster and Munster, it does not appear to be acceptable to run one in Connacht on the same weekend.

|Subject: Salerno/Amalfi from Roma
I am just putting the finishing touches on an upcoming trip to southern
Lazio and Napoli. On you drive to Napoli, assuming you will be taking the
A3, I would recommend stopping at Cassino to visit Montecassino (the famous
monastery and the sight of the infamous bombing during the WWll). The
monastery has been completely rebuilt. I have read that the bombing of
Montecassino caused Roma to be declared an open city.
There are two restaurants in the area that look good to me---a few miles back from Cassino just off the A3 is the Villa Euchelia in Castrocielo and a few miles south of Cassino, a few miles off the A3, is Il Vairo del Volturno in Vairano Patenora. I have chosen the former to try. Both look like good places. I chose the former because it is reputed to have an excellent wine cellar. These stops are a good way to break the trip up to Napoli plus Montecassino should not be missed.
We will be staying in Napoli and taking day trips by car. One of those trips will be to the Sorrento Peninsula, stopping at Pompei. We will be driving along the northern coast to Sorrento then up to Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi for lunch at Don Alfsono 1890. The views there should be truly magnificent. A restaurant that was seriously considered is Taverna del Capitano in Massa Lubrenese which is located at the tip of the Sorrento peninsula. The restaurant is right on the sea with views of Napoli, Vesiuvius and Capri. On the way back to Napoli we will stop at Herculaneum.
I recommend the Eyewitness, Knopf and Cadogan guides to Naples for planning your visit (not the guides to the entire country). It is amazing how much there is to see in and around Naples. I would not waste my money on the other guides, especially Fodor's.
Go to http://www.theatlantic.com click on travel than search for Naples. Read Corby Kummer's article on Naples for an excellent insight about this city.
I look forward to reading commentary from others (on the list please) who have experience visiting Napoli and environs. Peter

Green Day Frolic Course
The course follows a relatively flat, crushed-stone trail that runs along the Goshen Mill Race. There is paved section that passes under Plymouth Avenue (SR 119). The south end of the course, where runners loop back north to the finish, is paved and there is a very short, rather steep incline where runners transition from pavement back the to crushed-stone path.

A histogram is a type of graph, usually using bars to indicate the measurements of the several variables being measured and recorded on the chart. If the variables being measured are listed along the bottom horizontal axis of the graph, the increasing values or amounts of the variables would be listed at evenly spaced intervals along the vertical sides of the graph. Interpretation of the information on the histogram would then require observing the vertical height of the bar indicating the value for each variable.
In the situation you have been given, the last three bars are of approximately equal height. This would mean that the final three intervals, or variables, being measured in your histogram are all of approximately equal value.

'There is a joy in building a business that has a positive impact on people's lives...'
Derek F Butler, Chief Executive, Grid Finance
'In 2009, I left PwC in Los Angeles to join GOAL in Uganda as a finance manager. Shortly after, I was promoted to financial controller. In 2013, I returned to an Ireland which was still suffering the impact of the financial crisis.
"With my experience in emerging markets - it was in Uganda that I first encountered micro-lending - I thought there was a great opportunity to take the philosophy of people lending to people and technology to build a new way of channelling the capital we know is in Ireland to small businesses. With that philosophy, we built GRID Finance, an online business-lending platform that allows real people to lend to Ireland's most credit-worthy small businesses.
"Building a disruptive start-up that wants to change financial services for the better in the aftermath of a major financial crisis is not easy, but extremely satisfying. There are some things I would do differently but there are a few key things which are vital no matter what.
"Stay true to your philosophy. All great businesses need a strong purpose and philosophy. Your reason for being as a business has wide-ranging impact on everything, from how you attract and deal with customers and employees to how you design your products. Having a clear purpose gets you through the lows and makes the highs sweeter.
"It is the great over-used term that 'people are everything'. When you are building a business, you are building a broad alliance of stakeholders - customers, employees, shareholders. It is vital that you are aligned, believe in that core purpose and can work together. Building a sustainable alliance is difficult and time-consuming but is vital for creating a business with long-term value.
"The customer is central to everything we do. If you don't understand your customer and know in a deep way what you are trying to do for them, you are doomed to failure.
"As you build the business you need to constantly evolve your view of the customer and how your product makes their life better.
"The truth in any business is in the bank account. Focus on cashflow and whether your balance is increasing or decreasing. The accountants will help you with the rest!
"There is a joy in building a business that has a positive impact on people's lives - as the challenges come, it is vital that you never lose sight of this."

There's just something about November that gets you all giddy about the weeks ahead. The air is crisp, the TV shows are incredible and there are so many parties to close out the rest of the year. November is also the time where we dust off our entertaining hats and pull out all of the stops when it comes to hosting get-togethers and sharing meals.
This year will be our last Thanksgiving in Florida and for that reason we are spending every minute we can with our family and friends. Last week, we started off the Thanksgiving season with a wine party and a few of our friends. We laughed, shared a meal and thanked them for being there for us throughout the year.
Our get-together was a success and the talk of the night was my Barilla Ricotta and Mozzarella Pasta balls and I thought I'd share the recipe! I think the best part of this recipe is the Barilla Penne Pasta and how versatile it is. For this recipe, the Barilla Penne Pasta is cooked and chopped up which makes it perfect for molding into these incredible pasta balls. Also, I paired the appetizer with a bright and refreshing Clos du Bois Chardonnay which is fruit forward and approachable. The Clos du Bois Chardonnay pairs nicely with any holiday entertaining – especially with pasta dishes!
There are many ways that you can use Barilla Penne Pasta and you can find them at talkofthetable.com and for more Barilla pasta inspiration check these out
- Barilla Penne Pasta- 4 cups. precooked as directed in the package and chopped. When choosing a pasta, I use Barilla because it's the brand I trust. The pasta always tastes incredible and it's a high quality ingredient.
- Mozzarella- shredded 1/2 cup
- Ricotta cheese- 1/2 cup
- 2 Eggs- one for the mozzarella mixture and one for the coating
- Salt- 2 teaspoons
- Italian seasoning- 2 teaspoons
- 1 14oz can of organic chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of basil, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Sugar- 1 teaspoon
- Panko- for coating
- Vegetable or peanut oil for frying
//Pasta Balls
In a medium bowl combine mozzarella, ricotta, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of salt and Italian seasoning and mix well. Once incorporated, add the chopped Barilla Penne pasta and combine. Using a mellon baller, scoop pasta mixture and form into balls using your hands. In two medium bowls set out one egg and panko on the other. Coat the balls in the egg and toss in the bowl of panko until well coated. Arrange the pasta balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and set in the refrigerator to cool for 30 minutes.. (In the meantime prepare the tomato sauce)
Heat olive oil in a large pan on medium heat and cook down the garlic for about two minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer and lower the heat to low. Add the 1 teaspoon of salt, sugar and basil and bring off the stove.
Heat the vegetable oil to 365F and drop the pasta balls a few at a time until golden brown. Once browned, place cooked pasta balls on a paper towel lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt.
Serve the Barilla Ricotta and Mozzarella Pasta balls dipped in homemade Marinara sauce.

Croatian Police Uncover Meat Smuggling Network from Bosnia
By: The Center for Investigative Reporting
Nineteen people from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) have been detained on suspicion they smuggled unprocessed meat from BiH and sold it in several counties on the Croatian coast, the Croatian Interior Ministry announced Thursday.
According to data from the Bureau for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime (USKOK), the organized crime group smuggled at least 1,564 kilograms of meat, worth US$24,853.
Authorities believe this group also commited robberies and other crimes, stealing around US$80,757. They are also suspected of giving bribes and abuse of power. The total damage they caused is US$248,545.
The group's leader ordered shipments of meat from several individuals in BiH, and the group then transported the meat across the BiH-Croatian border.
A veterinarian aided the smuggling group by stamping the meat with inspection stamps, without required documentation about its origins or quality, according to the Center for Investigative Reporting in Sarajevo (CIN).
In addition, the smugglers evaded veterinary checks on border crossings, and did not declare the meat shipments. The meat was sold in Split-Dalmatia County and in the Zadar and Dubrovnik-Neretva counties on the Croatian coast.
Police forces from BiH, Slovenia and Austria cooperated with Croatian police in the operation.

Thorn Heads, 2013 Mixed media on canvas 95-1/2 x 64 inches (242.6 x 162.6 cm)
Download PDF Luhring Augustine PHILIP TAAFFE Recent Work | May 3 – June 15, 2013
In general, abstraction in modern painting draws form away (ab-stracts) from objects of visual perception to establish independent morphological realms. Abstractionism thus tends to abjure concrete reference to history, nature, and culture. But for Taaffe the very power of abstraction to reveal forms common to diverse objects allows it to serve as a metaphoric center: an abstract image may bring together in a poetic field diverse historical, geographic, cultural, natural, and psycho-spiritual domains.
In spite of this openness to reference, Taaffe's work registers emphatic bodily actions as pertinent to its composition as the grand gestures of the Abstract Expressionists whom he so admires.
Each picture is a destination of several morphological itineraries, journeys of images from sources whose traces contribute to the total effect in several ways. The images refer to nature, but also to the period books that deliver them to the artist; to representations of natural forms from various cultures; to cultural artifacts. The images are applied in discrete series of operations, sometimes separated by extended intervals of time: days, weeks, or occasionally even months. These intervals are significant in that the accumulation of reflection between the applications of the various layers is the mysterious site, as it were, where the intuited relations between images and layers are allowed to accumulate and suggest the details of their final form. The picture becomes a receptacle not only of the images and their sources, but of the invisible spiritual activities performed during these periods of reflective waiting. Finally, the energy, velocity, and bodily emphasis of the physical acts of applying the images to the canvas – stamping, stenciling, rolling, dragging, scraping – are themselves legible in the finished work, enacted with a ceremonial intensity of focus and with what Taaffe thinks of as ritual intent.
Snakes, ferns, crustaceans; masks, glyphs, totems. Taaffe's archaic images compensate for that which contemporary experience suppresses, forgets, ignores, or simply, through their absence, remains ignorant of and yet perhaps deeply longs for: connection to primal or archaic being.
Though the archaic material can deliver an atmosphere of a psychic menace, the overall intent of the aesthetic arrangement is inviting and represents a certain recrudescence of the beautiful, a canny balance between entropic and symmetric distributions of images. The eye feels within the "overall" composition a studied disordering of various symmetric arrangements, involving music-like inversions, displacements, reversals.
The intentional, not to say willful, management of images suggests "ornamentality"; yet, because the images ordinarily connect back to cultural contexts where ornament as such has been used or natural contexts where symmetry as such is pertinent, Taaffe's aesthetic is never simply "ornamental," but part of an accumulation of reference and conceptual/poetic content.
Baudelaire once said that the beautiful is never other than a promise of happiness. Taaffe's reinvention of the beautiful seems to me a kind of valiant inquiry, a conscientious refusal of the suppression of human possibility.
