Flamingo Dining Lounge: Renfrew, Ontario (Review)
The Need to Feed
It was a dark winter evening and we'd been travelling all day for appointments. I was 7 months pregnant and ferociously hungry. Since we were passing through town, I suggested (insisted) we stop to eat. I knew of a couple fast food joints near the highway, but wanted a healthy meal. There was an overly-priced place at the other end of town that served decent fare, but the streets were starting to ice over. I didn't want to drive all the way through town for a meal, so we decided to pull into the nearest restaurant and check it out. The restaurant turned out to be the Flamingo Dining Lounge. It looked kinda creepy from the outside, but our GPS indicated that it was the only restaurant at that end of town that wasn't fast food.
First Impressions
I was very surprised at what when found when we walked in. The place was dimly lit, dirty and only one table occupied even though it was supper time. The hostess desk was deserted. Besides the couple at the only occupied table, the only other person in sight was a dour-looking man leaning against the bar with a drink in his hand. We didn't know if we should seat ourselves or wait for the hostess, so we decided to look over one of the menus, giving the staff time to notice us ... assuming there was staff.
Fare Offerings
Having food restrictions, I've occasionally encountered the embarrassing situation of sitting down, ordering a drink and then discovering that the menu doesn't having anything I can or would want to eat. To avoid this, we often pursue the menu before taking a seat at a restaurant.
The menu here offered "the standard fare" with a lot of wheat-based items (eg. pasta, burger buns, breading on meats, etc.) which I can't eat. The few items that were (hopefully) wheat-free weren't really appetizing. Moreover, they were charging about $2 more than what I'd expect to pay for this simple menu. I looked at the prices and then glanced around the restaurant again. The place looked like it was ready to be featured in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.
The (un)Welcoming Committee
As I was taking in the "atmosphere", I noticed the man from the bar swaggering over, glaring at us from under his eyebrows. I took an involuntary step behind the menu my husband was holding, completely creeped out. He stopped in front of us, leaning against the wall with arrogant ease, blocking our access into the restaurant. I can only assume that this was the restaurant owner.
He took a swig from his glass, looking us over slowly and then said loudly, "Perhaps you'd be more comfortable eating somewhere more your speed. Like the place next door." The couple at the only occupied table turned to stare and it took every ounce of restraint I had to not tell this creep to get bent.
For my readers who don't speak English as their first language, this was his polite way of saying: "You look like poor people who won't appreciate good food and can't afford what we offer, so get out and find something that poor people eat. Like McDonald's [literally, the place next door]."
Now, despite my sharp tongue, I have learned self-control over the years and mastered the art of subtlety when it comes to verbally eviscerating folk. So my response was a lot nicer than it could have been.
"Good idea," I replied to the owner with a wide smile. Then, I put a hand on my husband's arm and said, "Let's go to that classy restaurant on the other side of town with the good food and the friendly staff. At least that place is clean."
And, with that we left that nasty rat-hole and never looked back.
Other People's Reviews
Having been brusquely barred from the chance to try the food at the Flamingo Dining Lounge, I decided to do a Google search to see what others had to say about it. I came across 2 reviews that described the restaurant as "okay", but dozens of very unhappy reviews for this location.
Note: There were three reviews that raved about how clean the place was, how friendly the manager/owner was and how wonderful the food was. Given the consistency, similarity and overwhelming numbers of the complaints in comparison, the praise seems like fake reviews planted by the owner or his friends and family.
In review after review, the same nasty issues came up over and over.
The Staff & Service
- Staff was incompetent and/or rude;
- Manager/owner was rude;
- No one greeted or sat the customers;
- Customers had to get their own menus;
- Food and/or drinks were slow to arrive (x2);
- Orders or items were forgotten;
- Couldn't find the wait staff when needed for help, refills or dessert;
- Staff refused to speak to customers, but where chatty with each other;
- Customers didn't receive their meals.
The Restaurant
- Restaurant was dirty;
- Dishes, glasses and/or cutlery was dirty.
The Food
- Food and/or beverages were made with rotten, sour and/or stale ingredients;
- Not prepared properly or to order;
- Bland, cold or tasted bad;
- Hair in the food.
On top of these horrifying review, there were a few bonus nightmares for some dinners:
- The menu prices were not up-to-date, so the customer received a nasty surprise when it was time to pay the bill;
- One reviewer's burger bun was covered in pepper and crumbs from something else. Their guess was that the bun was laid on a dirty counter while the burger was being prepared;
- The owner/manager hit on the customer, apparently fishing for a tip;
- According to a mom from Perth, Ontario whose 3 children were accompanying her, management actually tossed out another couple with children. The reviewer was clueless as to why since the children weren't disturbing anyone.
Rating: 0/5
Based on our personal experience and feedback from those who were actually able to dine there, I give this restaurant the only ZERO star rating I've ever award using the following qualifiers:
- Staff
- Building Cleanliness/Repair
- Food
- Customer Service
- Price
Bad Aftertaste
After the numerous reviews that end with "I'll never set foot in that place again!" or "Stay away from this place!" I'm very grateful that the owner chased us away before my empty tummy overcame my better senses that night.
As I grasp for a balanced way to end this review, the comment by reviewer SalesTech56 from Pembroke, ON comes to mind:
Bottom line--if great food and good customer service are important to you stay far, far away from this joint.
I couldn't have said it any better.

I love the place I live in,
But on the map I've seen
Another little country
All pnk, while others is green.
I like our trees and bushes
And grass the way they are;
Still, pink is always pretty.
I wonder if it's far.
If I should ever go there,
Where everything is pink,
I'd say, "Your country's lovely.
But green is best, I think."

I'm not quite convinced though, I'm sweating more my head plunged in my Pho Bo Vien (= a vietnamese noodle soup with meatballs). Another belief is people tends to eat less when hot weather. Again not sure. My belief is when Pho Bo Vien is for dinner, I can eat for a week, 3 times a day. No kidding!

MD, FRCP(C); Nessly, Michael BS; Rapp, Suzanne MD; Badner, Neil MDAnesthesia & Analgesia: January 1990 SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE: PDF Only Abstract The management of postoperative pain with continuous epidural fentanyl infusion was compared with continuous intravenous fentanyl infusion. In a randomized, double-blind protocol we prospectively studied 20 patients undergoing repair of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee. The quality of analgesia and the incidence of side effects were documented. Compared with patients receiving continuous intravenous fentanyl infusion, at 18 h postoperatively patients given continuous epidural fentanyl infusion reported similar pain scores both at rest (22 ± 25 vs 27 ± 21 P = 0.52) and with ambulation (59 ± 18 vs 56 ± 22, P = 0.82). Plasma fentanyl levels were 1.8 ± 0.4 and 1.7 ± 0.4 ng/m.L (P = 0.91) for the intravenous and epidural groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in the incidence of nausea, pruritus, or urinary retention. There was no respiratory depression in either group. We conclude that when compared with continuous intravenous fentanyl infusion, continuous epidural fentanyl infusion offers no clinical advantages for the management of postoperative pain after knee surgery.

|Storm, Matt and Caitlyn
On 16 December, we all met Matt at StokeCity WakePark in Midrand. StokeCity WakePark sponsored two day-passes, life vests and helmets for the girls. We headed to the two-tower cable system for beginners, called The Straight, at the CablePark. Matt gave a quick demonstration on how to sit in the water with the wakeskate and how to lift yourself up to be pulled along by the cable.
Although nervous, Caitlyn strapped in first. She got the hang of it quite quickly as Matt patiently guided her on how to ride the cable for longer without falling. "I had to bend my knees and straighten my arms, but I straightened my legs and bent my arms. I straightened my legs because I felt like I was going to sink." Before long, Caitlyn rode halfway across the width of the dam, like a pro, doing a little happy dance on the board. "It gets more exciting the more you do it," said Caitlyn.
|...and Caitlyn is off!
|Caitlyn's got it!
Our winner Storm was also nervous at first, but she also quickly gained confidence, enough to ride the whole width of the dam and back at full-speed, impressing everyone, but especially Matt. "Once you get the hang of it, you realise it's fine and just go for it. I really want to do this. It's so fun!" said Storm.
|Storm goes the distance
|Storm rides like a pro
Despite their initial nerves, the girls had tons of fun and took turns on the cable. Falling did not deter them! Matt was as impressed with the girls as we were.
If you would like to learn how to wakeskate, visit StokeCity WakePark's website today for more details: stokecity.co.za. It's the most fun you can have on water!
|Learning how to wakeskate comes with a few
failed attempts, but it adds to the fun!
Supernova would like to thank Nicky Vermeulen for organising such an amazing prize, Matt Buys for giving the girls a great day of fun, and StokeCity WakePark for sponsoring the prize. Stay stoked!

Session 4
With Goldenfang awake again, he surveyed the broken and bloody Ogre corpses around him and pulled himself to his feet, searching for something to drink. Finding only a barrel of something he assumed was Ogre moonshine. The rest of the band worked on getting RamJam back up the winding tunnel with the aid of Benny's telekinesis and Mekk disarming the bear traps.
Getting back on the road the band began to make way to Tent City, believing they had just enough fuel to get there. Along the way, the band came across a perch in the desert, stopping to use the high ground to gain some knowledge of their surroundings. As the band attempted to do so, a large shadow in the sky became larger and eventually the band were faced with a fight or flight decision as an Adult Red Dragon approached. The Band decided to wait and face down this threat.
The Dragon landed and the band decided to engage him in conversation, introducing themselves. The Dragon, Kalidas, questioned the band's motives as they were at his perch, territory he has claimed; Kalidas as such, demanded tribute. The party offered the Dragon the tainted gold, the gold gained from Snotgobbler's Junkyards lower levels which had been stored alongside a lot of unrefined Goblonium and was likely irradiated. Intrigued the Dragon enquired as to where we found the materials. Information we offered in exchange for directions for the current location of Tent City. The Dragon took off in the direction of the Junkyard, and we set off in the direction of the Tent City.
The Tent City came into view and we decided to make an entrance. Anthrax began to smash things in the Junk Chariot. Benny played RamJam, Goldenfang began to roar as he drove RamJam and I allowed Zarathos to drive, whilst I played guitar. As we entered Goldenfang began to breath fire into the sky and we got people's attention. Goldenfang began to yell nonsense about our gig in the town centre, and that we had slain a dragon on our way into town.
Arriving at the centre of town we were confronted by Mayor "Placeholder", who questioned our dragon slaying claims. Goldenfang was adamant we had killed one, but we made it clear to the Mayor that Kalidas had not been slain. The townspeople however were celebrating being free of the Red Dragon's tyranny. The Mayor demanded we compete in his gladiatorial games or he would oust us as liars and braggards.
We seemed to have arrived just in time, so Anthrax, Goldenfang and myself signed up as fighters for the arena The fights were without weapons or armour, although some weapons were inside the ring and luckily it was night. Goldenfang's bout was first, and it was a close thing. He fought a human who seemed to be a seasoned pit fighter, and not many humans lived long enough to be described as seasoned. Goldenfang managed to use a pit trap to his advantage, throwing his opponent in and diving in after, but he was knocked bloody and shaken. The crowd demanded blood and Goldenfang executed the man.
Anthrax was next, two Owlbears were released to the crowd's awe. The bout didn't even last half a minute as the Owlbears were tossed about like ragdolls. My bout was the last of ours, an Ogre, I used my speed and outpaced the giant brute. He hit like a truck but was still flesh and blood. I left him bleeding out into the sands. My second bout was against an Elf, a rarity in the badlands. The elf was quick and graceful, extremely skilled and had me worried for a moment, but my endurance won out. The crowd asked for mercy, so I let the elf live.
The finale was a three way bout between myself, Anthrax and Goldenfang. As we didn't exactly want to hash things out I told Anthrax to pick up some of the bones about the arena and to start hitting the pillars. As he did Goldenfang began to scream at the crowd and one of my skeletons brought me my guitar. Benny used his Telekinesis to Float RamJam into the arena, land atop the dias and began playing. The Mayor started to protest, but we rocked the crowd so hard his voice was lost amidst the cheers.
So began our two day Tent City bender. It would have probably lasted longer but on the third day we woke up to screams and cries for help. Turns out Kalidas was back, angry that someone had claimed to have killed him. As Tent City was mostly canvas, and Red Dragons breathe fire… it wasn't pleasant. He was demanding to see us apparently… so we got our shit together and tried to wake up Goldenfang.

The dollar edged higher through the morning session in N.Y. on Wednesday, taking the DXY to six-session highs of 89.99. The greenback later moved lower on the FOMC minutes, as the Fed said a gradual approach to tightening remained appropriate, and as it sees few signs of broad wage growth increases (which got markets in a tizzy following the strong earnings outcome in the last jobs report). EUR-USD rallied to session highs of 1.2359 from 1.2315, as USD-JPY fell to 107.30 from 107.75.
EUR-USD found support into 1.2300, a six-session low, later bouncing over 1.2330 in fairly light trade. Sellers stepped in overnight following softer EU and Germany PMI figures, though reported option backed buying more recently limited downside to 1.2301. The FOMC minutes later saw the pair rally to 1.2359 highs. Under 1.2300, the next support region comes at 1.2276, the February 14 low. Resistance is at the 20-day moving average of 1.2379.
USD-JPY posted three straight higher daily highs and lows, topping at 107.90 in Asia, though remaining firm through the N.Y. session, peaking at 107.72 ahead of the London close. Aside from being dragged higher by a general resurgence in the dollar this week, overnight comments from Japan's vice minister of finance for international affairs appeared to have helped lift the pairing. Asakawa said he thought yen movements were "one-sided (to the upside), but added that recent Treasury yields gains are the "beginning of a sea-change". Following the FOMC minutes, the pairing dipped to 107.30 lows.
Cable picked up following BoE official comments, where a hawkish leaning tilt provided support. Carney said, as he has in the past, that rates will have to move higher earlier and to a greater extent going forward. Cable bounced to 1.3990 highs from N.Y. lows of 1.3910, then after the FOMC minutes, topped over 1.4005.
EUR-CHF has been in consolidation mode in the mid 1.1500s over the last week after breaking lower in the week before, when a four-month low at 1.1446 was seen. The revival in risk appetite has helped prop up the cross.
USD-CAD topped at a near two-week high of 1.2683 earlier in the session, with the pairing responding to the greenback's general bid tone. Oil price gains seen last week have petered out, providing some support as well. The CAD market has been in the process of positioning itself for Canada retail sales on Thursday, and CPI on Friday. The FOMC minutes later took the pairing to 1.2626 lows.

"The man who cannot control his tongue deceives his heart." Pastor Clyde
"If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless." James 1: 26 (NKJV)
There is an organ that is part of the human body, which controls the direction of the entire body. This organ is described as a fire, a world of iniquity; unruly evil and full of deadly poison (James 3: 6-8). According to the eyes of God, the appearance of the tongue is vile. Why? Because the power within it is often used to curse, kill and bring destruction. How many untold deaths have been caused by the tongue untamed? The number would be staggering. The Bible teaches us that death and life are in the power of the tongue and we will eat the fruits from the seeds of our words. Not only is the Believer commanded to control the tongue, we are also taught how to use it.
"Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body." James 3:3 (NKJV)
The bit that connects to the bridle is placed in the horse's mouth so that when the rider pulls on the reins the pressure is felt inside the horses mouth. Wherever the horse turns its head is where the entire body is going to go. It is the same with our mouth. If all we speak is evil against ourselves, our brethren, our environment or our communities than all we should expect is death. Death everywhere, even within our own bodies. Why? Because our tongue turn our whole body around to walk in the path of death. But if we put the bit - which is the WORD of God- in our mouths, than when God pulls those reins we move in His direction. We speak life, even in the hardest, most desperate situations.
Stay tuned for more!

A new Kiwi ad-free platform hosting local programming for children has been launched today.
HEIHEI is a platform starring, and aimed at, New Zealand kids with brand new cartoons and programmes - and some familiar ones.
New Zealand on Air has invested $14 million into the project - a joint venture with TVNZ which is being hosted online and through Apple and android apps.
Clare Curran, the Broadcasting and Digital Media Minister, says Kiwi kids have "nothing that mirrors their stories - that puts a sense of value in their stories".
"Having a platform that's dedicated to children with mostly New Zealand content on it is a huge step forward in New Zealand," Ms Curran said.
Miriam Dean, the New Zealand on Air chair, says the company's vision is about "reflecting and connecting our nation".
"We need to reflect and connect our kids, and so our children need a safe, online place where they can see themselves, they can hear themselves," Ms Dean said.
Ninety-one per cent of Kiwi kids have up to an hour of screen time each day between internet, television and TVNZ On Demand, and more than half spend over an hour.
Ninety per cent of parents say they want to see more New Zealand content for children.
Research has found that the most popular media platforms for New Zealand children are no longer traditional ones like television, but YouTube.
A lot of the online giant's content is international, creating a major impact on the way children behave and communicate.
"Our children are growing up with American accents because they watch American cartoon series," Ms Curran said.
Judge Andrew Becroft, the Children's Commissioner, says it's important to encourage and grow a "distinctive Aotearoa culture" on Kiwi TV screens.
"All we know about wellbeing of our children and their views is that values are important, and one of them is being connected to their culture," Mr Becroft said.
"I think it's great to have something that's distinctly New Zealand that brings an Aotearoa flavour in it; that our kids aren't growing up with an ad-laden TV environment with American accents."
Through cartoons, cooking, pet and puppet shows, HEIHEI aims to give Kiwi children a chance to see themselves, and their own language, on screen.
HEIHEI is available as an iOS app and Android app, or head to heihei.nz.

Symposium on Mega Earthquake Induced Geo-disasters – The field trips part I: Wenchuan epicenterMay 28, 2015 | in Earthquake, Meeting
In my last post I blogged about the International Symposium on Mega Earthquake Induced Geo-disasters and Long Term Effects in Chengdu, China, and now I want to report about one of the field trips that I participated after the symposium. While we spent the morning and early afternoon at the Qipan gully to look at a giant debris flow that occurred five years after the earthquake, in the afternoon we had the chance to visit the memorial site of the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, which is basically the collapsed building of a middle school close to the epicenter that was left as it was after the earthquake. I want to report about this site first because it is more about the earthquake itself. In my next post I will report about the Qipan gully debris flow. more
ISPRA volume "Earthquake Environmental Effect for seismic hazard assessment: the ESI intensity scale and the EEE Catalogue"May 25, 2015 | in Earthquake, Paper
Earthquake Environmental Effects (EEE) have proven to be valuable for describing past earthquakes and their geological imprints. The ESI2007 is a relatively new intensity scale dedicated to such effects, but also integrating traditional macroseismic scales. Examples of ESI2007 intensities assigned to large earthquakes are being collected in the EEE web catalogue hosted by the ISPRA and ESI2007-related work is conducted in the framework of INQUA.
Another milestone now has been achieved with the ISPRA volume "Earthquake Environmental Effect for seismic hazard assessment: the ESI intensity scale and the EEE Catalogue". This book is now available online here. It contains updates on the ESI2007, examples of applications, documentation of the EEE Android App, a huge reference list and, most importantly, the ESI2007 description in ten languages: more

The 4th International Symposium on Mega Earthquake Induced Geo-disasters and Long Term Effects in Chengdu, ChinaMay 21, 2015 | in Meeting
From May 8 – 13, 2015 the 4th International Symposium on Mega Earthquake Induced Geo-disasters and Long Term Effects was held in Chengdu, China, at the 7th anniversary of the Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake that occurred on May 12, 2008. Since Chengdu was basically on my way back from the Fucino 2015 PATA Days in Italy to my working place in Beijing, I was in the lucky situation to be able to participate the symposium and drive away the post-PATA-blues with exciting talks, discussions and field trips that obtained a new dimension of relevance in face of the April 25 Nepal earthquake. I thought this meeting might be interesting for the paleoseismicity community and as Christoph told me, the current example of the Nepal quake that apparently didn't produce any surface rupture shows again the importance of earthquake environmental effects (EEEs) for paleoseismologists. So I decided to put together a little report about the symposium and in a coming post I also want to share a report and some pictures from the post-symposium field trips. more
Workshop 'Earthquake activity and hazard in northwest Europe', Belgium, 15 October, 2015May 19, 2015 | in Earthquake, Meeting
Our colleagues in Belgium have reasons to celebrate! At the Membach station they're monitoring seismic activity for 40 years now, and 20 years ago the superconducting gravimeter started working. To commemorate this the Royal Observatory of Belgium and the Public Services of Wallonia organize a scientific workshop on Earthquake activity and hazard in northwest Europe. The workshop will be held on 15 October 2015 at the Gileppe Dam Tower.

NSF-sponsored workshop on Future Directions in TectonicsMay 8, 2015 | in Meeting
Future research in tectonics and structural geology is the focus of an NSF-sponsored workshop to be held in Madison, Wisconsin on July 22-24, 2015 – aimed to assemble a diverse range of earth scientists to identify pertinent and promising areas of new research, recognize and prioritize infrastructure needs that are necessary to making scientific progress, and articulate the societal relevance of research in tectonics and structural
geology in the 21st Century. The vision articulated at the workshop will be captured in a white paper, the first of its kind since 2004, that will inform our science community, funding agencies, elected officials, and the general public.

I haven't taken part in the Book Journey for a long time. I saw a post by a friend this morning so thought I would head back over there and find some inspiration. I was drawn to the Call The Midwife book by Jennifer Worth after seeing the advert on TV for the series. I read it more or less alongside watching the TV series as I had to order it into the library which at the time was being relocated so took a while to arrive. Anyway it is one of those can't put down sort of books but when I finished it before the series ended I realised some of the stories that had been televised weren't actually in the book. I checked out the author and there is actually more than one book which explains the extra stories so I ordered the next one which is the book I am currently engrossed in - Shadows Of The Workhouse
The stories are based in the East End of London in the 1950s. Jennifer Worth wrote them from her own experiences and the recounts of her patients. Obviously over time those memories may not be totally accurate but I've read enough to want to look further into that time period.
The tenements people lived in sound horrendous. I can only imagine them to be like the high rise flats we are used to seeing in densely populated areas in modern day life but without sanitary facilities. Families in those days had lots of children so there were as many as ten or more people living in one room. Unthinkable now but the norm then.

Yes I read the first book - Call in the Midwife. My friend gave it to me. I have always enjoyed reading social history - you learn a lot from reading novels! - so this was really interesting, as well as being well written.
I think I might try the second volume too - thanks for the information!

Well I've finished the teddy bear for my Grandma. He goes with the commissioned sweater I'm still working on. The teddy bear is a surprise though! And he's going to have a matching sweater (a pullover without a hood)! I haven't started the little sweater yet, but I've started working with some numbers and my gauge to figure out the pattern. It will be loosely based off of this pattern which I've made twice before. I'll make sure to post the modifications that I make!
I'm so happy with the way that he turned out! I can't wait until he has a sweater! I'm more excited to make his sweater than the sweater for the actual boy..
I didn't follow the pattern for the arms of the bear really. You can find more details about that, and pictures of him on my Ravelry page!

Through out the spring, I will be doing a series of in person workshops talking about plants, and how to grow them when you have less than ideal conditions. The two main topics to overcome poor conditions are Square Foot Gardening (SFG) and container gardening. Over the next few days, I will be sharing a series of posts with you about these topics, covering much of the information that will be discussed in the workshops.
SFG and container gardening are a little pricier in the beginning set up phase – you have to purchase your soil components (a combination of peat, sand, vermiculite, perilite, and compost) as well as your containers or the untreated lumber to build your beds. We have easily spent about $800 over the last three years just building our beds (we have 9), but once they are built, you don't have to redo them each year. If you don't have the budget to go big, start small with individual planters, or even a simple 4×4 garden bed kit which you can get for around $35 at Home Depot.
Even with the initial costs of creating the gardens, I feel that the benefits are far greater in the long term.
Benefits of Square Foot Gardening
- can have a garden anywhere even on top of concrete/pavement
- fewer weeds
- easier to prevent critter – netting, fencing, etc
- more concentrated growing space = less wasted amendments/fertilizers
- easier for crop rotation for the home gardener
- more plants in a smaller space – For example, in a 2'x8′ garden bed you can grow 10 tomatoes & 6 pepper plants; using traditional row gardening, you could only have 5 tomatoes or 7 pepper plants
- biodiverstiy – more variety in less space
- great for beginners or those with physical limitations
- no heavy equipment to purchase/rent, store, or use
The goal with SFG and container gardening is to work smarter, not harder. SFG results in using 80% less space to grow the same amount of crops you would in traditional row gardening. By using less space, you also are cutting down on the amount of water that is needed, the amount of fertilizers and soil amendments that are needed, and, probably the most appealing, the amount of time you need to spend working in the garden.
In the next post, I will share with you how to set up your raised beds to get ready for a productive gardening season.

Chain Reaction Afghan Collaboration
This is how it goes down.
On Monday evening, Malik heads to the general store and picks up baggies of finished product. Later in the week, he shuttles these to his teen cohorts and dumps the contents on the table. They line it up and, under Malik's guidance, they join them together (word on the street is that Malik loves this part best of all.)
On Wednesday, adults gather at the ballroom. They pick a baggie, dump out the contents and assemble them.
Thus it is that members of the community of Saxapahaw, NC, are gathering to make not one, but two, Chain Reaction Afghans. The Crochet and Complain (or Craft and Commiserate) group of Saxapahaw, NC is making or completing the squares and the Hawbridge Fiber Arts Club, made up of students at The Hawbridge School, is joining the squares.
I first hooked up with Lorrell, the mastermind coordinator and stuffer of baggies, at a community night at Spoonflower. She invited me to her group in Saxapahaw, a community by the Haw River that isn't even properly a town. We met at Saxapahaw General Store (your local five-star gas station), and had a lovely time.
I bestowed upon them a giant bag, a hefty box and a challenge: Assemble squares that readers had sent in for the original Chain Reaction Afghan, as well as complete and partial squares created for KDTV step-outs (Series 700; available as a Crochet Me Workshop video download, if you want tips for creating your own Chain Reaction afghan). Since the group was nearly done with their current community project, they took on the challenge. Lorrell got to work organizing the crazy mess I gave them. There are enough squares to make at least two afghans. The crocheters are freelancing the organization of the original squares, which are all different sizes and colors.
By the time I caught up with them a month later, the afghans were well under way. We gathered at Cup 22 in the Haw River Ballroom, part of a restored cotton mill — a fine place to be playing with fiber.
While we chatted, I picked up a partial step-out of Kristin Omdahl's Making Links square, crocheted by a stitcher before the show was taped. I finished off the leggy X part of it, and discovered that it was a bit smaller than the other finished squares. So Lorrell squared it off with a round of double crochet, followed by a round of single crochet. That means that at least three crocheters created that square alone.
This, my friends, is a true collaboration. Stay tuned as our Saxapahaw friends finish the afghan and decide how they will manage the final distribution. They are deciding between a silent auction and a raffle. Likely, at least one afghan will benefit The Hawbridge School, a public charter school.
I'll post updates as I learn them!

What is National Catholic Schools Week?
Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week. Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.
*Please stay tuned for more detailed information on what we'll be doing
at St. Clare during this week of celebration.
Good News for the Nation: Catholic Schools Are Thriving
Catholic schools offer academic excellence and faith-filled education for students nationwide. National test scores, high school graduation rates, college attendance and other data show that Catholic schools frequently outperform schools in both the public and private sectors. While some Catholic schools are challenged by declining enrollments and school closures, the good news is that there is a strong demand and enthusiasm for Catholic schools. Nearly thirty percent of Catholic schools have waiting lists for admission and new schools are opening across the country. This infographic shares facts and figures about the ongoing excellence and promise of growth represented in our country's Catholic schools.
Catholic Schools Week – January 2016
Catholic Schools Week is an annual recognition of the importance of the high-quality, values-centered focus that Catholic schools provide to students in kindergarten through 12th grade across the United States. St. Clare School proudly honors those who contribute to the success of our school: students, families, faculty and staff, volunteers, and community supporters. Students participate in various activities and events throughout the week. Catholic Schools Week encourages us to celebrate Catholic education and the joy of being in a Christ-centered environment.
"Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service."
Please join us as we celebrate beginning with the Saturday Vigil Mass on January 24th. CSW is our annual celebration of what makes education at St. Clare Catholic School outstanding. We have a whole week of activities planned to show what our students are accomplishing and to celebrate the community we have built to educate tomorrow's citizens and church leaders. We, at St. Clare, are grateful every day for the teachers, staff, parents, students, and volunteers who make our school a success.

Late last night, a gunman opened fire during the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado, killing 12 people and injuring 38. /../ This was, among so many other things, an exceedingly well-documented atrocity.
Take, for example, the many cell phone videos that captured the scene. Take the many tweets. Take the Twitter feed, in particular, of Adam Williams, whose brother was injured in the violence. Take the Redditor who was himself injured in the shootings, and who posted to the site -- along with a note, "my thoughts go out to those less fortunate than me" -- images of his bloodied, bullet-torn shirt. And of (warning: much more graphically) his bloodied, bullet-torn body.
The secondary story, however, is the way the tragedy revealed itself to the rest of the world -- the way the tragedy transformed, through that revelation, into an information network. This was not just a documented massacre, but one that is being documented across the web, and across the web's media outlets: on Twitter, on Facebook, on news sites. Wikipedia, unsurprisingly, already offers a comprehensive entry for "2012 Aurora shooting." This entry is featured, along with other information sources, on Google News.
But one of the most effective sources of information about the massacre has been Reddit. In particular, "Comprehensive timeline: Aurora Massacre," a Reddit page that offers a tick-tock of the Aurora events that play out in granular, heartbreaking detail. Posted a few hours ago, it has already received hundreds of upvotes, and is on its way -- already -- to becoming one of the definitive documentations of the tragedy.

Although I've always loved a good life hack, being a mama of a BUSY toddler (and his soon to be little brother!) has made me a FOOL for anything that can save a little time, energy or sanity.
To be honest, I've never had a strong loyalty to a specific line of baby products. I'm more like a once I get particularly desperate I'll run to Target while likely multitasking on a conference call and shove something that looks remotely like what I need into the cart kinda mom. WHATEVER WORKS.

More Blowbacks: Russia to Build 8 New Nuclear Reactors in Iran;• Mike Shedlock
As the US (but not Germany) threatens more sanctions to "punish" Russia, I keep wondering who is punishing whom?
Is Chancellor Merkel finally beginning to see the economic and geopolitical stupidity of sanctions?
I ask because the Wall Street Journal reports Merkel: No New Economic Sanctions on Russia Planned.
Meanwhile, Obama and Putin briefly met on Tuesday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Beijing.
On that note, the Washington Examiner reports Obama Talks Ukraine with Putin as White House Hints New Sanctions are Coming.

Mike, over @ The Wine Rack (aka: my dad), sent me an email about smarthistory, an interactive art history website. The site is pretty cool and is set up like a time line, but you also have the ability to search according to style, artist, time period and themes. It's kinda like a fancified text book, but way cooler. Check it out!
Thanks Dad!

Defining the Calotype.
The word Calotype receives much misuse , a quick search with the word on eBay, reveals cabinet cards , salt prints , Albumen prints , ambrotypes , Daguerreotypes and even sepia silver gelatine photographs described as Calotypes . Clearly this is wrong .
So what is a Calotype ?
The Calotype was discovered by William Henry Fox Talbot on 20th September 1840 and was Patented in England Wales and Berwick on Tweed on the 8th February 1841. Talbot actually thought of the word in January 1840 and it means Beautiful impression. It's first use in public was 3 days before it was Patented on the 5th February 1840.
The word Talbotype was frequently used in reference to its inventor and to define it from Louis Daguerre's Daguerreotype . In Scotland the phrase Edinburgh Daguerreotypes was sometimes used to describe the Calotype and for many years in St Andrews the nursery of modern photography the word Calotype was used to describe all photography perhaps out of respect to its inventor by the many early pioneers of photography who practised there but also for the want of a better name . This dropped out of use once the practise of photography became industrialized in the late 1850s and 1860s and the impressions less beautiful , less artistic but more certain and more scientific.
It must be remembered that at its birth the word Photography didn't exist . The name photography came from the Englishman Sir John Herschel. Meaning Writing with light.
The Daguerreotype is a one off image that is simultaneously both a positive and negative image on highly polished silver plate that cannot be replicated . There is no doubting their jewel like beauty .
Of equal beauty the Calotype is a negative image on fine writing paper , the transparency of which meant it could be duplicated many times .
The positive up until the early 1850s was by in large made using Talbots earlier invention – the salt print a simple combination of common salt and Silver Nitrate to make silver chloride , in the 1850s Albumen prints became ever more popular . The Albumen print was the invention of the Frenchman Louis Desire Blanquart Evrard who published his process in 1847 . As the name suggests egg whites were used to make a glossy surface on the salted printing paper so that the picture sat on the paper revealing more detail and not inside the paper as with the Salt print. Both the salt print and Albumen print were printed out in good light . Later improvements led to positive papers which could be developed out allowing for mass production in minimal light. Note this is a positive printing process and not a negative.
Chemically the Calotype uses Silver Nitrate and Silver Iodide to produce the light sensitive Silver Iodide. In Talbots process this was produced by first coating a fine writing paper with Silver Nitrate , this was allowed to dry , whereupon its was then dipped in Potassium Iodide. This produced both silver iodide and Potassium Nitrate, the silver iodide penetrates the pores of the paper and is Insoluble. The Potassium Nitrate must be washed out , failure to do so makes for at best an unreliable paper or at worst an unusable paper. The resulting paper was dried and is not light sensitive because the potassium iodide is in excess ie it supresses the Silver Nitrate. This is known as a double iodide of silver and Potassium.
Once dried it is ready for the next stage , sensitization. More Silver Nitrate is added to make it exquisitely light sensitive. Or to be accurate a mixture of Silver Nitrate and Acetic acid called Aceto Nitrate was mixed with Gallic acid to form Gallo Nitrate. The Acetic acid was used to keep the whites of the negative white and was used in relatively large amounts , resulting in long exposures when compared to later photographic processes such as wet plate collodion. This was then mixed with a saturated solution of Gallic acid this is a weak solution often less than 0.4% . Gallic acid is very difficult to dissolve completely in cold water.
The resulting Gallo Nitrate was brushed on to the paper and then blotted dry or at least just damp.
When Talbot discovered the Calotype process he had been experimenting with double coating his salted papers to make them more sensitive and using Gallic acid in an effort to make it even more light sensitive . In reality the inclusion of Gallic acid simultaneously develops the picture as it is exposed.
What is meant to happen is that when you take the paper from the camera after exposure is that you have a blank piece of paper with an invisible or latent image . This is then developed out with the same solution of Gallo nitrate as before . This is brushed on and the image is revealed. This must have been like magic to the Victorian imagination and may I say still is !
In reality the inclusion of Gallic acid in the Sensitizer caused many many failures . It is very sensitive to heat and was extremely volatile in the heat of an English summer . Sometimes an exposure can be made and there is a very distinct image on the paper when taken from the camera , other times the paper has turned brown and is useless. Only the Adamson brothers had the wisdom to leave it out of the Sensitizer this producing a more certain method of making a Calotype.
From its announcement in 1840 and at its height in the 1850s the word Calotype always referred to a negative on Paper produced using double iodide of silver and Potassium The method of production evolved and was simplified and made more certain over the years and some times other chemicals were added to make the paper more sensitive or give a better tonal range. These included common salt , Potassium Bromide and Barium chloride. But the result was still a pre silvered paper with an excess of iodide. Such additions were classified as improvements to the Calotype process.
Later methods of producing negatives on Paper mainly from Europe , such as the Waxed paper process , serum process and Albumen paper all involved , first coating the paper with a Iodide mixture always potassium iodide often with potassium bromide and sometimes other iodides such as fluoride and Cyanide. This was could be far simpler and less time consuming to produce than Double Iodide . Although in an 1850s version of the arms race some photographers included as many as ten different ingredients in their iodizer . Most of which were not necessary or beneficial !
This was then sensitized with a strong sensitizing solution of Aceto Nitrate with no Gallic acid in the Sensitizer. Some processes had to be used whilst the paper was wet others permitted the paper to be used dry . In most instances exposure was longer than with Talbots Calotype process. In some process the resulting Potassium Nitrate has be washed out just as before . Usually this washing stage is shorter than with Talbots Calotype . They were all developed with a solution of Gallic acid often a very strong one which necessitated the water being heated in order to dissolve the Gallic acid . In the journals of the day these methods of producing negatives on paper were never called Calotypes. The word Calotype was by in large not used on the continent .
The method of coating the paper usually differed too . in England the chemicals were applied with a brush . With a continental process the paper was floated or immersed in a bath of the relevant chemistry .
The resulting negatives are all very similar in appearance and the whole genre was referred to as photography on Paper as opposed to the Collodion process or photography on glass .
The sharpness of glass negative and in the right hands tonal rendition of this photography on glass is of course what caused the demise of the Calotype.
So to summarise the Calotype is a photographic process on fine writing paper , made with double Iodide of Silver and Potassium in the initial stage to produce a negative which can be duplicated multiple times.
It is not and never has been a positive printing process . The positive prints may be produced from a negative on Paper but this does not make them Calotypes .

The reason why the Controllers were able to infiltrate all the major systems of the world, including but not limited to the media, religion, politics and finance, is because of denial and ignorance. All it takes for "evil" to destroy humanity is for good people to do nothing. The NWO masters like to use actors, camera tricks and the media to deceive you. (Conscious Life News).
Hollywood is Jewish – like the media, too – and Satanistic.
The main platform for spreading witchcraft is Hollywood and its movies: Alisteir Crowley pupil, Gerald B. Gardner, infected Hollywood with Satanism. Due to the real connection between Satanism and witchcraft, Satan is the true envoy of witches and is using the Hollywood elite to sell the youth his destructive lies.
E.g. (Hollywood initiated) star, sex kitten Katy Perry, appears to lead our youth to Hell. She seems to play the daemonic Role of Lilith, Adam´s first wife acc. to Jewish medieval folklore. More about her here -and other Hollywood sex kittens here.
Right: Hieronymus Bosch: The Fallen rebellious Angels
Now Hollywood has launched an NWO propaganda movie to deceive you again: "NOAH": The defiant against the Creator survives!
It has the following messages:
1. NOAH is the heir of the Serpent of Eden. He hates the Creator, sees him as evil, and is the Illuminati thesis.
2. The Nephilim, the descendants of Lucifer´s fallen Angels/the Giants and earthly women, infected the earth with evil acc. to Genesis, so that God would cleanse the Earth of his creation. But in the movie, the Giants are the good guys, helping Noah to build the Ark.
3. The Illuminati are the noble descendants of the Nephilim.
4. Mankind (not the Nephilim/Illuminati) is evil, a cancer on the Earth – as expressed on the Georgia Guidestones.
5. Therefore, the Earth must be cleansed of mankind again. The Hollywood movie "2012" had the same message.
6. A new Earth ruled by an environmentalist religion and by the Nephilim/Illuminati must arise. (Agenda 21)
7. It is a good deed to destroy those humans who are not descended from the noble Nephilim – be they good or bad.
8. Tubalcain, the "forefather of Freemasonry", is a descendant of the Cain who murdered his brother, Abel, both Adam´s and Eve´s sons. He produced weapons to murder with and taught mankind handicraft and spirituality. He teaches Ham, NOAH´son, rebellion against his father: to be a man means willingness to kill.
Tubalcain seems to be the initiator of Hegelian dialectics.
9. This is the first and final teaching of the Illuminati message, delivered by Tubalcain: "Kill, kill, kill – only then you are a man".
Vigilant Citizen 22 Sept. 2014: Since its release in early 2014 by Darren Aronofsky , the big-budget movie "NOAH" has correctly caused controversy for not being biblically accurate. The primary message is that NOAH is not about the Bible – it is a message to humanity right now, directly from the elite: Humanity needs to be cleansed … again.
"NOAH" describes the basic premise of a new religion, one that has been pushed on the masses for years. Based on the elite's long-term Agenda of drastically depopulating the Earth, this new religion is about radical environmentalism, the hatred of human life, and the re-alignment of morality towards a new axis.
One of their values is that human life is a cancer on Earth that needs to be eradicated. They want humans to sincerely believe they are evil to justify depopulation (The Georgia Guidestones). Of course, as the movie tells us, most humans do die … EXCEPT those of the chosen bloodline. We must all die to save the Earth … except them.
The movie also shows modern soldiers killing.
In Genesis 6: 1-7, a race is called "sons of God" or Giants is mentioned. They begot children with earthly women. These children became mighty men of old, renowned men. "And GOD saw that the wickedness of (these) men was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD said, I will destroy man; for it repenteth me that I have made them."
Who were the "The sons of God"? Certain humans, acc. to this video.
Others describe them as disobedient angels thrown out of Heaven. (Lucifer is also referred to as a Fallen Angel). Their children with human women were called "nephilim" (Wikipedia). The Book of Jubilees (7:21–25) also states that ridding the Earth of these nephilim was one of God's purposes for flooding the Earth in Noah's time.
However, Jubilees also states that God granted 10% of the disembodied spirits of the nephilim to remain after the flood, as demons, to try to lead the human race astray until the final Judgment.
Giants (Illuminati) supporting Noah building the Ark and fighting off people trying to come on board the Ark in stead of drowning.
They are said to have taught humans advanced skills such as metallurgy, metal working, cosmetics, sorcery, astrology, astronomy and meteorology.
Right: EU poster of the symbol of Luciferian NWO-religion of defiance against the Creator: The Tower of Babel
And this is what counts here: Not facts – but pseudo-religious myth. The New World Order´s History: Freemasons and Illuminati are connecting themselves with Fallen Angels mythology through their core foundation.The Luciferian religions practiced at the Tower of Babel, Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz are the same Luciferian religions practiced today within Isis, Osiris and Horus and Lucifer still reigns, not only through the mystery religions, but through the Oligarchy followers of our day. The Illuminati see themselves as descendants of Lucifer´s fallen angels.
The Bible describes the Giants and their nephilim offspring as a main cause of humanity's corruption. The movie however portrays the exact opposite. In Noah, the Giants are described as gentle teachers who came to aid humans, but ultimately became victims of humanity's cruelty.
Noah is strikingly similar to another movie analyzed on Vigilant Citizen: "2012" which is a disaster movie that is essentially about the rich and powerful people (the elite) surviving a gigantic flood while everyone else dies. The movie was full of references to the tale of Noah´s Ark
It promotes the idea of massively depopulating the Earth. Extreme environmentalism is the new religion being sold to the masses through fear.
The last commandment of the Georgia Guidestones sums up the main message of the movie Noah:"Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature".
NOAH has a dream of mankind drowning – while animals move upwards to be saved.
When Noah's son sees a pretty flower and tries to pick it, Noah jumps in to stop the senseless destruction. That little scene announces Noah's rather extreme brand of environmentalism. A little later, Noah sees "men" (a pejorative term in the movie) hunting an animal in order to eat it. Noah runs to the rescue of the animal and stabs one of the hunters in the leg. He then calls his act of violence "justice". Yes, Noah is apparently an extreme vegan who stabs people who eat meat. This, of course, is not found in the Bible. Throughout the movie, Noah refers to animals as "the innocent" while humans are perceived as scum who deserve to die.
In one of the first scenes of the movie, we see a young Noah receiving his birthright by his father. Around Noah's father's arm is the skin of the snake of the Garden of Eden which represents the continuation of the line of Adam.
When humans try to get to the Ark, Noah gets mad and starts slaying a bunch of people, cutting their heads off and spearing them. We even see the Giants kicking and stomping humans by the dozens, as if they were cockroaches. And these are "good guys". Noah could have saved a girl pleading for help from the rain masses – but he didn´t. Whether she was good or not is irrelevant. The girl was not part of the bloodline. Therefore, she must die. It is not about being a good person. It is about who you descend from.
In Genesis 9:8-17, God promises to never again destroy the Earth by floods. This does not exclude doing it by fire. Peter 2, 3: 7-10 speaks of "the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction". See Matth. 24and Albert Pike.
While antihuman NOAH is the Illuminati hero Tubal-Cain – a descendant of the brother-murderer Cain and a proficient weapon maker – is the "the forefather" of Freemasonry. In what can be seen as Hegelian dialectics, Tubalcain is the protagonist of mankind, although he knows it is going to be wiped out. He stole the skin of the snake of the serpent of Eden from NOAH – giving it to NOAH´s son, Ham, urging him to rebel against his father NOAH.
Left: The Masonic Tubal-Cain emblem: The penis!
Tubal-Cain teaches Ham: "Your father filled this ship with beasts while children drown. He belittles you by telling you you must serve them. No. They serve us. That is the greatness of men. When the Creator finished making the sky, the ground, the sea and these beasts, he wasn't satisfied. He needed something greater. Something to take dominion over it and subdue it. So he made us in his image. Us. This is your world Ham, seize it".
Tubal-Cain then ultimately urges Ham to kill his father: "Because if you're a man, you can kill".
Ham however does not kill his father … he kills Tubal-Cain. While dying, Tubal-Cain tells Ham: "Now you are a man". While these words were said by the "bad guy", he was nearly quoting actual Biblical verses.

CNA Training
Will you be graduating from CNA training soon? If so, there's a good chance you are probably already looking for a job and are beginning to wonder exactly what your new employer is going to be looking for when and if he decides to hire you right out of school. While it varies from place to place, there are four key factors that should be considered when you finish CNA training if you want to start working right away.
After CNA Training: What Your Boss if Looking for
- Willing to Work- Your boss won't just be looking for someone who is willing to work, but someone who is willing to work when they are needed after CNA training. For most new CNAs, this means either the second shift or night shift in a nursing home or hospital. It isn't just because these are the hardest shifts to fill either, although they generally are for most facilities. Second and third shift is also a better fit for new CNAs. It gives them a chance to learn the ropes, learn how to manage their time, and get their feet a bit wet before they are thrown into the chaos of first shift. If you aren't willing to begin your career on second or third shift, you may have to apply at several different facilities before you find the one that is right for you after CNA training.
- No Outside Interests- While you might think your boss wants you to be totally dedicated to nursing after CNA training, this isn't the case. If you don't have any outside interests, you will burn out faster and more easily, so don't be afraid to tell your employer you attend those weekly chess tournaments.
- Cockiness- Confidence and cockiness are similar, but two entirely different words. Cockiness implies you know everything, and there is nothing left to learn. Confidence says you have a strong grasp of the situation, but you are still humble enough to learn a new lesson. After CNA training, stick with confidence and avoid cockiness at all costs if you want to become employed quickly.
- Personal Hygiene- In the world of nursing, personal hygiene is simply something we all must consider, not only for our sake, but for our patients as well. While you may have let yourself slide a bit while cramming for your state exam, when it is time to get to work, don't show up at your interview with anything but perfect personal hygiene. Smell clean without having to use perfume, apply today's makeup after you have washed off yesterday's, and make sure you don't have any dirt under your fingernails. Once you have your body taken care of, make sure your scrubs fit, are clean, and are free of wrinkles!
Gaining Employment After CNA Training
If you want to begin working right after you finish CNA training, then there are four factors you need to consider first- the factors your new employer will be looking for. The right attitude and cleanliness go a long way towards helping obtain employment after CNA training.

|[jira] Updated: (DERBY-3347) ERROR XSDB3: Container information cannot change once written
|Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:54:08 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3347?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-3347: -------------------------------------- Attachment: d3347-2a.diff I'm also attaching a patch (d3347-2a) for the problem with concurrent I/O operations on page 0. This patch adds a wrapper around the methods readPage() and writePage() in RAFContainer4. If the page that is accessed is FileContainer.FIRST_ALLOC_PAGE_NUMBER, the method calls are synchronized on the container object, and therefore behave just like their non-NIO counterparts in RAFContainer. Since the code that accesses the container information on the first alloc page also is synchronized on the container object, this means that we never have two threads accessing the first alloc page concurrently. For the rest of the pages, the synchronization is not necessary, since they can only be accessed through the page cache and therefore no two threads access the same page concurrently. I haven't run the regression tests on this patch yet. > ERROR XSDB3: Container information cannot change once written > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-3347 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3347 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Store > Affects Versions: 10.3.1.4, 10.3.2.1 > Environment: Windows 2003 Server > Sun Java 1.6.0_03 > Reporter: Bogdan Calmac > Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen > Priority: Critical > Attachments: d3347-1a.diff, d3347-1a.stat, d3347-2a.diff, d3347-preview.diff, d3347-preview.diff > > > We are using derby as an embedded DB for our data collection server.

States across the Midwest that were hit by avian influenza earlier this year are bracing for the fall migration of wild waterfowl that will soon begin. Bird flu is believed to be spread by ducks and geese as they pass through.
Bobbie Kriz-Wickham, Nebraska's assistant director of agriculture, says even though the state was not hit as hard as others, they want to be prepared.
"Our poultry sector, even though it's smaller, for those folks that were impacted, it was a big impact," Kriz-Wickham says. "So it's very important to us that we can help them think about their biosecurity measures this fall."
Kriz-Wickham says the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a fall plan last week which builds on the lessons learned from the earlier outbreak. The plan reinforces efforts by the agency and poultry producers to focus on increases surveillance and biosecurity to prevent another outbreak.
"USDA's put a lot of work into coming up with some best practices," she says. "We're having the industry folks in next week to talk about some of the things they can do to protect themselves even more so and I'm hearing that poultry producers are taking measures to do just that."
Kriz-Wickham says the plan emphasizes the need to respond quickly to prevent rapid spread of the disease.
Nebraska's poultry industry is worth an estimated $1.1-billion dollars a year.
Two major poultry operations in northeast Nebraska's Dixon County were hit by outbreaks of bird flu this year. More than three-and-a-half million chickens died or were destroyed, along with another one-and-a-half million pullets.
Next door, Iowa was the worst-hit state by bird flu, with more than 70 outbreaks in 18 counties that resulted in the loss of more than 34-million birds.

Blogger Beauty Box – £10
This is my second month of receiving the Blogger Beauty Box and my first month of being involved with the organising and running of the company, Eek! My review of the concept of the box is definitely biased but my review of the brands featured in each box will not be.
The brands featured in this month's box were organised by Vicky from Vix Meldrew so the contents of the box were still a surprise to me which was really nice.
This month's box featured 3 Skincare products and 2 Makeup products.
The brands included in the September box are: Yes To, Sniffy Wiffy, Truly Organics, Beautiful Movements & Makeup Revolution.
Yes To Blueberries Facial Cleansing Wipes
I haven't used face wipes in forever. I now use Micellar Cleansing Water to take my makeup off at the end of the day. Makeup wipes are really handy though if you are on the go or travelling as they are easier to pack. These wipes smell incredible and I'm quite excited to put them to the test and see if they can remove my stubborn eye makeup.
Sniffy Wiffy Lemongrass & Lime Hand Cream
Holy shit this smells amazing! I literally can't stop sniffing it! It has such a fruity strong scent and I'm in love with it. I haven't heard of Sniffy Wiffy before but after some research I have found out that they support breast and testicular cancer charities and for every purchase made they donate money to charity. Their long term mission is to make everybody aware of breast and testicular cancer and how to check yourself correctly. Definitely a mission I want to support.
Yours Truly Organic Fix Me Repairing Serum
I haven't heard of Yours Truly Organic before but I love trying out new skincare products. It's one area of 'beauty' that I can't get enough of. The Fix Me Serum promises to 'repair, smooth and brighten your skin' which is something I definitely need a lot of right now.
Beautiful Movements Lip Gloss in Gypsy Spirit
Beautiful Movements is another brand I hadn't heard of until I received this months Blogger Beauty Box. I'm not a massive lip gloss wearer but I do use them on occasions. I tried it out today and I absolutely love it. It's not sticky like I find most lip glosses to be, it goes on more like a lip stain. It's something I would wear day to day and I'm actually super impressed with this product. Happy Neesha!
Makeup Revolution Lipstick in Sweetheart
I do love Makeup Revolution and think they are an extremely well produced budget brand. Unfortunately this lip colour isn't quite me, it's a little bit too baby pink. It would be great for toning down some of my other lipsticks though when used together.
If you are a Blogger and you haven't yet signed up to Blogger Beauty Box you need to asap! There are only 40 boxes each month and they are sold on a first come first serve basis. October's box is a big one and there are only a few left so go to Blogger Beauty Box to reserve yours now.
