This layout came together quickly using stickers from the Blossom Complements. These pages will be perfect for spring or summer memories.
As you can see from these close ups, I also added a few of the Blossom metal accessories and Ocean Sequins. I love how all these pieces coordinate perfectly.
I hope you have enjoyed this project and are inspired to try something new. Remember when you place an order of $25 or more you qualify for my hostess club and are invited to come to my house to put it together the following month. For more information, visit the Events and Hostess Club pages.
Have a wonderful Spring Day,

Mark Sidel, an internationally recognized expert on philanthropy and the law, has been appointed the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Visiting Chair on Community Foundations at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy in 2016.
Sidel is the Doyle-Bascom Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a role in which he continues to serve. As a member of the Council on Foundations Community Foundations National Standards Board, the national accrediting and standard setting body for American community foundations and trusts, and a long-time observer of the development of community foundations in the United States and beyond, he brings to the school new perspective and insight into the community foundations movement and its future.
"Community foundations often are on the frontlines of crucial issues in our cities and towns, and many are true innovators," said Amir Pasic, Ph.D., the Eugene R. Tempel Dean of the school. "Dr. Sidel's intellectual leadership will help our students and members of the community expand their understanding about the growth and future evolution of these important pillars of our communities."
Sidel is developing and teaching the school's first course on community foundations during the 2016 spring semester, including leading a series of workshops on community philanthropy and community foundation issues. The workshops, which are free and open to the public, are:
February 11
Place-based giving in identity-focused groups: The case of Muslim community foundations and philanthropy
Co-sponsored by Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, the event is co-chaired by Sidel and Shariq Siddiqui, Executive Director of the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA). Panelists include prominent philanthropists working on Muslim philanthropy and community foundation building in the U.S.
March 3
New developments in the regulation and self-regulation of community foundations and U.S. national standards
Panelists include the director and chair of the U.S. Community Foundations National Standards Board and the executive director of an Indiana community foundation with long experience with the national standards.
Sidel will lead a community foundations research symposium March 31 - April 1 in Indianapolis featuring leading nonprofit and foundation professionals and scholars presenting cutting-edge research and perspectives on community foundations and community philanthropy.

- 1 kg beef mince
- 2 x onions, diced
- 3 cloves garlic - finely diced
- 2 Tbls olive oil, cold pressed
- 1/2 tspn paprika
- 1 x zucchini, diced
- 8 x roma tomatoes, vine ripened and diced
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 Tbls tomato paste
- 5 x spinach leaves, shredded
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 Tbls buckwheat flour, finely ground wholmeal
- 3 1/2 cups full cream milk
- 2 cups tasty cheese grated
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 Tbls butter
- 10 x family sized lasagna sheets (i used home made pasta here
Into a heavy based pan add oil, onion, garlic and paprika and soften the onion to transparent. Increase the heat to high and brown your mince. Add the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes, deglaze the pan with red wine and stock and turn down to a simmer.
Add the tomatoes and zicchini and allow them to cook down and the sauce to thicken slightly. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper and add the spinach.
Set aside to simmer while you cook your cheesy béchamel sauce.
For the béchamel allow the butter to soften and blend with the flour, cook the butter blend for a few minutes until it starts to thicken then whisk in your milk and slowly bring to the boil and until you get the consistancy you like. remove from the heat once it has boiled and add your tasty cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Construction time:
Llightly oil the lasagna dish and spoon a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom.
place a layer of pasta and another thin layer of meat sauce then add a layer of mozzarella. I use two lasagna sheets per layer and continued layering in that order.
After the 5th layer of pasta finish with a final layer of meat sauce and mozzarella then pour over the béchamel in a thick layer and sprinkle with the pamesan.
Place your lasagna in a preheated 200degC oven and cook until the top is golden and the béchamel is bubbling around the edges … approx 20 minutes.
Serve with a fresh garden salad, crispy garlic bread and a good red wine.

I used home made buckwheat this time, but I figured people would buy theirs so didn't elaborate
the buck wheat we have is very white ..even the course grade we have is still very pale .. sadly the eggs we had to use are pale also which makes me wonder at their free range status as our local guy was in short supply
James made the pasta that's why I didn't showcase it .. it is his to share if he choses. I stepped in and cooked the lasagna. He is working on his buckwheat pasta for another menu item … buckwheat uni flavoured pasta … something to look forward to
I have been corrected as there was only a small proportion of buckwheat .. some quinoa and the rest pasta flour … obviously I wasn't paying attention lol lol lol, but I was doing the lasagna not the pasta and bought sheets in the family size would work here as that is what we use as a template to fit our dish
still a work in progress as buckwheat is a brittle dough indeed and our fettaccini was not an inspired result at all lol lol. I adore the flavour. Working the dough for a long period gave a little more elasticity, but more work to come. Next attempt will be a filled pasta … perhaps a ravioli.
This is a dish I would love to eat. Do you have an estimate of the total number of calories the whole dish would have?
Also can you help me to stop salivating now I've read the recipe?
I dont measure my food in units of energy, but in units of yum … life's too short to diet my friend!
we are going to serve 1kg of lasagna to a person? do you think that wise? It served 4 BIG appetites … not necessarily a RDI

not that I subscribe to whatever food pyramid or fanciful nutritional model is being used. This model also states that there is alcohol as a bad point, but any alcohol is burnt off in the cooking so I am not placing any faith in this analysis
I don't understand a rant on dieting on a recipe for "Cheesaholics" this is not a diet forum, it is a recipe competition. As I clearly state this recipe is ful of cheese I am not trying to push it as a diet food so I wonder why I am targeted so
Don't think I could eat a whole kilo of lasagna!!!
The best HOME MADE Lasagne there is, simple people may not understand that you make 'real food, not Junk bought for the nearest coles or woolworths' even though you continue to make it perfectly clear that you MAKE YOUR OWN
it seems my assertions mean nothing to some despite my continued championing of home grown, home made and locavore ethics
That is mouthwatering lasagna.
Thankyou Anna! It definately is a treat
Calories schmalories – this looks divine and I want some, and then some more!
I do not follow a calories in:calories out mentality by any stretch of the imagination. I put the injection of love and the healthful persuit of passion above any numeric value that can be placed on food. My recipes are not about denial they are about passionate persuit and lovingly applied skill and produce.
I know right!
Very Cheesy!!
lol yep that was the whole point
Can someone tell me just how much mozzarella to use in this recipe, as ingredients does not list mozzarella yet the method states "Construction time:
Llightly oil the lasagna dish and spoon a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom.
place a layer of pasta and another thin layer of meat sauce then add a layer of mozzarella" Very confusing and would like clarification. Thanks In advance

LAST WEEKEND, I was able to take a brief break from deadline writing and listen-in on a decades-old ritual called "The L.A. Bass Club" at Local 47 on Vine Street in Hollywood, the home of the Professional Musicians Union Hall.
Hosted by classical bassist, Tony Grasso, the "club" is a free clinic for bass players of all genres, and provides an hands-on forum for local musicians to not just hone their craft but to network in world where, more and more, everything is virtual. The weekend's featured bassist was Jennifer Leitham, whom I wrote about a few years back for the L.A. Times. Her presentation was part memoir, part-troubleshooting lessons and she tackled questions about improvising, the state of jazz and even spirituality — with patience, humor and grace.
Grasso convened the session with a request, "Can someone play the changes of "Moon River" for me? A piano player in the audience rose and took his seat at the grand piano and they launched in, impromptu, getting us in the mood. Someone in the audience who hadn't quite finished a conversation with a friend apologized for stepping on the notes: "That's OK, You guys can talk," the piano player said with a wink, "We're not soloing yet."
I'm not a player. But as an avid listener, I'm always curious about process, and the showcase was a rare and interesting window onto what happens among musicians when they are playing together and the vibe is just right. That "leap" that jazz musicians take when they improvise — together — Leightam explained — is for her one of the best reasons for being on the planet. "When I was a kid started on a clarinet but they took the clarinet away from me because when I played a tune, like say, "Sidewalks of New York," I wanted to improvise. I just couldn't play it all the way through…"
Years later, after settling on the bass ("I love the vibration; it's primal"), she found the leap of improvisation was something entirely different:
"You want to think when you practicing. To master things. To correct things. But not when you're playing. You don't want to get in the way of what's happening.
I don't want to think when I play. I want it to be abstract. I want shades and colors. It's when you feel like you don't have a body. You are the instrument. You have to become the notes. And when you're improvising with other musicians and you all feel time the same way it's the highest form of art. You have to lift off the ground."
In a bit, I'll post some other photos of local 47 & its environs.

Designing DDO Druids
The Mind is Mightier Than The Microprocessor
As nearly as I can tell, the big issue is that the class would require two major game mechanic systems that currently do not exist in the game. In addition to spell-casting, Dungeons and Dragons Druids have the ability to shapeshift into just about anything (animals, plant creatures, elementals). On top of that, Druids can tame dozens of creatures as animal companions, who can advance into sentient, intelligent beings that can then take a character class and gain class levels as if they were a free-standing character.
In a pen and paper RPG, these mechanics work because the game is being run by a living, hopefully intelligent Dungeon Master who can make a rational decision about what exactly happens if the player turns into a Fire Elemental while fighting Ragnaros (or whatever). Unfortunately, a computer game needs to be told in advance what to do about every possible situation, which requires a far more limited stable of options.
Working within the system
DDO's most recent new class, the Favored Soul, is also a divine spellcaster. However, unlike the Druid, the Favored Soul is effectively a Sorceror with different numbers plugged into some stats and a different spell list. The class has some unique quirks, but none of these required new game systems to implement. My guess is that the length of the wait for the DDO Druid will depend heavily on how much Turbine is willing to compromise on the class features (and how much compromise is possible before the class becomes nigh indistinguishable from its existing counterparts).
SOE and Blizzard have been able to implement shape-changing Druids in Norrath and Azeroth because they own the respective lores; if they say that the local Druids only know 3-4 forms, then that's all they know, and that's a reasonable number to implement. Turbine has previously implemented some limitations on spells that are not limited in the pen and paper game; for example, the "summon monster" and "summon nature's ally" spells can summon any creature of an appropriate power level in the pen and paper game, but are limited to a single type of creature in DDO. Even so, shapeshifting raises all kinds of complicated questions, especially when paired with other classes. This level of effort is not feasible for a single class - if they really wanted to do this, they could also implement self-shape-shifting for arcane casters to gain more milage out of their work on the backend, but that would remain a major effort.
The animal companion system seems more promising. DDO has NPC hirelings, who take up a slot in your party and can fill some rudimentary party tasks. It also has uncontrolled NPC pets from a variety of spells, and a recent game update put significant work into fleshing out undead pets for the Necromancy-inclined Wizards. In principle, these efforts might lay the groundwork for a more advanced pet system, though they're still a far cry from what longtime players might be expecting.
When to add classes?
The real challenge when adding one or more new classes to an existing MMO is determining how much effort it is feasible to spend on a single class. If you look at, say, WoW, Death Knights entered the game with a variety of new ideas (no single tanking tree, pets and heals and damage, several new types of resources) and have had to change to behave more like normal classes in the long run for the sake of balance.
However, if you do too little, there's no reason for players to be excited about new classes. In that case, you're just adding work for the class design team, who will need to devise a niche for the new guys for no good reason. The question is when the tradeoffs involved become worth the effort.
Will DDO Druids that look like Priests with slightly more robust pets and slight variations in their spell list make the cut? Time will tell for Turbine and Stormreach.

If it were me, on the shapeshifting I'd do this:
Give them several teirs of forms, with several cosmetic options within each tier. Use existing models for all of the forms. Scale the size of the models so that camera heights between hobbit and warforged sized are appropriate. If Turbine is feeling really frisky, there could be saves and resistances that change based on the form you choose.
One form per teir. Just as summoning does far less in DDO than PnP, shape shifing need not be all that flexible.
On the animal companions, rangers are supposed to have that system as well. Instead they get summon monster spells. A summon monster line that comes as bonus abilities instead of as spells is really all that is needed.

I'll add this on shape shifting:
Attacks are the really hard part to figure out. I left that elephant standing in the room for several reasons. The easiest version I can think of is to add a new hotbar, much like an NPC one, above your existing ones with attacks that do damage with bonuses based off a druid's level or wisdom. They only get more gnarly from there on out as far as I can see.

As much as I love DDO, when it was first released I said it was going to be a harsh MMO license. This shows exactly the problem: the game can't compete with the mind, especially on a large project like this with a lot of inertia. Adding new systems is going to cause problems.
Not a position I envy.
- August 25, 2010 at 3:43 AM
I think that Turbine and the players are making shape shifting into more than it has to be. I think that the best way to handle it would be to make it almost like summoning a pet. The pet can replace your own character and a new hot bar would show up for your abilities. Except for fire and air elementals, I think they could use the existing pet system as a template. The system is going to be limited one way or another and the selection is going to be limited. They may as well just make an alternative pet system (much like a hireling)and make the character disappear. It would be easier to implement if they just changed the pet system to give pets their own command bar in the first place.

I just can't wait for the druid to come out, if it does, because in player vs. player that fire elemental/bear will certainty kill something.. haha

I too can not wait for Druids to come out, but it concerns me as well. I read many of my concerns in the original post.
I am not an expert in the programing that Turbine uses, but if I were to wager a bet I would say that part of their problems fall under this expression. A computer can only be a fast as it's slowest part.
Basically what I am getting at is, this game has always had lag issue, they're problems with the code at the very foundation of this game. I played in Beta, and there was lag issue then too. Now several years later they are better, but they are still there.
That is why some areas are worse than others when there is no real need for it... or seems like there is. The fact is what we as players see as a simple graphic is huge, take water for example, to us it looks like a reflective surface if we have our graphics turned up. However, what is hidden in all that code is relationships. Where the water is against the wall, in the middle, in relationship to people in it, how deep it is, and etc. Just because you can not see the water at the bottom of the abbot's room doesn't mean it is not being watched, and guided.
Now imagine that something that changes shape. How often does your pet, summon, or hireling get stuck, and then warps back to you after you move away from it? With a character how annoying would it be to get stuck that often, and how could players find ways around/through dungeons by getting themselves stuck in walls and then shape changing so they can fall through.
So here is the issue... Now you have same problems with Water, in a mobile player character, and when they are released, you are going to be flooded witht them at the very moment you get a bunch of new players into the game to check it out. If you have the same lag issues as always those who play before and came back to check it out, even if they did not buy the new expansion, will be turned off by the lag.
Balance wise I think they are going to have the same problem that Monks had. In some areas they are over power, but in other areas, they were totally gimp. Monks could out DPS most classes, be more awesome while doing it, and nearly fly... but have them try and DPS a greater devil or demon, and they had to either switch to real weapons or pound their way through the DRs of the creatures they were facing.
There were no silver threaded wraps back then... What are Druids going to do against these creatures, do they give them spells like an Arty, or make druids add every arty they run into to their friend list so they can have silvered claws. Maybe take UMD for scroll use since they coming out with scroll versions of the arty spells.
The next problem is this, with the level increase to 25, the enhancement changes, and the druid effect... will we even have we recognize, or will this be like Star Wars MMO from nearly a decade ago

International Standard Bible EncyclopediaHALLOW; HALLOWED
hal'-o, hal'-od, hal'-o-ed ("to render or treat as holy," Anglo-Saxon halgian, from halig, "holy"): It translates several forms of qadhash, "set apart," "devote," "consecrate," frequently rendered in the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version "consecrate," "dedicate," "holy," and especially "sanctify," closely synonymous, "hallow" perhaps containing more of the thought of reverence, sacredness, holiness. It embraces the idea of marked separateness. It is applied to persons, as the priest (Leviticus 22:2, 3); to places or buildings, as the middle of the temple court (1 Kings 8:64); the tabernacle (Exodus 40:9); to things, like the portion of the sacrifice set apart for the priests (Numbers 18:8); to times and seasons, as the Sabbath (Jeremiah 17:22 Ezekiel 20:20) and the Jubilee year (Leviticus 25:10); to God Himself (Leviticus 22:32). Its underlying idea of the separateness of holy nature or holy use works out into several often overlapping senses: (1) To set apart, dedicate, offer, reserve, for the worship or service of God: Exodus 28:38, "The holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts"; also Leviticus 22:3 Numbers 18:29, etc.; 2 Kings 12:4, "All the money the hallowed things" (the King James Version "dedicated"), etc. (2) To make holy, by selecting, setting apart, claiming, or acknowledging as His own: Genesis 2:3, "God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it" (the King James Version "sanctified"); but Exodus 20:11 (King James Version, the English Revised Version, the American Standard Revised Version), "hallowed." So of the temple (1 Kings 9:7); of the firstborn, spared in Egypt (Numbers 3:13). (3) To dedicate or consecrate by formal ceremonial, with the accompanying idea of cleansing from sin and uncleanness: Exodus 29:1, "This is the thing that thou shalt do unto them (Aaron and his sons) to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office." The whole chapter is devoted to the elaborate ceremonial, consisting of ablutions, endowment in priestly robes and paraphernalia, anointing with oil, the offering of a bullock for a sin offering, and of a ram, the placing of the blood of another ram upon the right ear, right thumb, right great toe of each, the wave offering, the anointing of the holy garments, and the eating of the consecrated food, all this lasting seven days, and indicating the completeness with which they were set apart, the deep necessity of purification, and the solemnity and sacredness of the office. The tabernacle and its furniture were similarly "hallowed" by a simpler ceremony, using the anointing oil. (4) To render ritually fit for religious service, worship, or use: Leviticus 16:19, "Hallow it (the altar with the sprinkled blood) from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel"; Numbers 6:11, "The priest shall. make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day." (5) To hold sacred, reverence, keep holy: Jeremiah 17:22, "But hallow ye the Sabbath day," by keeping it distinct and separate, especially (Jeremiah 17:24, 27) by refraining from unnecessary work, from burden-bearing, travel, or traffic (Nehemiah 13:16). See Exodus 20:8-11 (the Sabbath Commandment). (6) To revere, hold in awe, and reverence as holy and "separated from sinners" in majesty, power, sacredness: Leviticus 22:32, "And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel." Qadhash is elsewhere translated "sanctify" in this connection, meaning "to be manifested in awe-producing majesty, power, or grace": Ezekiel 38:23, "And I will. sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Yahweh"; compare Ezekiel 28:22, 23, etc.

时时彩官方安卓_Shanghai unveils steps to attract foreign R&D centers
- 时间:
- 浏览:14
时时彩官方安卓Shan时时彩官方安卓ghai authorities have rolled out new measures to woo more foreign-funded resear时时彩官方安卓ch and development centers to the city as part of the efforts to transform it into a global technological innovation hub by 20150.
According to the 15-article policy, recently approved by the Shanghai municipal government, high-level foreign R&D centers in Shanghai will be granted the same privileges as regional headquarters of multinational companies.
"That is to say, such R&D centers will obtain policy and financial support from the local government and enjoy more simplified services in terms of entry and exit procedures, talent introduction and customs clearance," Shang Yuying, head of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, told a media briefing.
"It is the first time that foreign R&D centers are getting such policy support in China. We hope to attract more global R&D centers of multinational companies that are at the highest level within the company and carry the function of allocating R&D resources around the globe," she said.
Currently there are 416 foreign R&D centers in Shanghai, which accounts for one-fourth of the total in China. About 20 of them invest over $10 million annually and have more than 40,000 Chinese R&D staff, according to the commission.
Several innovative global products have originated from these centers. According to Shang, 22 products from the Shanghai-based China R&D Center of US-based medical device manufacturer Medtronic have entered the market since its establishment five years ago, with 17 of them targeting mainly at foreign markets.
The new measures also include preferential policies for foreign employers of these centers to have easier access to services and less processing time for work permits.
"Qualified expats will be given multiple entry visas valid for five to 10 years and provided with more sophisticated social services, including medical, health services and children's schooling," said Yang Chao, deputy head of the commission.
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China said in a report in December that for Shanghai to succeed in its ambitious goal to be a global center, the city will need strong support and participation of foreign businesses, investment and talent.
"Critical to Shanghai's ambitions will be whether the city remains attractive to global talent. Ensuring that it does so, will require raising the quality of life in the city and further opening the regime for the issuance of visas, working permits and hukou," said Michael Adams, chairman of the Shanghai chapter of the European Chamber.

Mendoza, Argentina
Mendoza is the capital city of the province of Mendoza, which is uniquely characteristic for its large squares, wide streets and canal-like trenches. We had four nights here and made two day-trips to see the wine region and Andes Mountains.
With a name like "Mendoza" and a reputation for being a wine capital of the world, we couldn't help but conjure up mental images of rolling hills and tranquil vineyards (maybe because we lived so close to Napa Valley). We took a public bus to the town of Maipu and rented bikes from Mr. Hugo to sample a handful of the hundreds of wineries along the Argentina Wine Route. Initially, though, the reality was a tad different from our expectations. Instead of beautiful rolling hills, we got flat roads—mostly in what felt like a rural California suburb—alongside the busy traffic of cars and freight trucks.
The experience was enjoyable, nevertheless, and a very affordable excursion. Small group tours of this region start at $175US per person, but doing it on our own ended up costing less than $50 combined, including a delicious steak lunch at Tempus Alba. The farthest distance we biked was only about a half hour away. It's actually out here, where we took the postcard picture, that you feel like you've reached wine country. So unless you are a serious wine connoisseur or have specific wineries to visit in mind, a self-guided bike tour is a great option.
Another highlight of our time in Mendoza was taking an organized tour through the Andes Mountains. We don't book tours often, but we didn't want to limit ourselves to the city. Although we would soon again take the same road to get to Santiago, with a tour we at least had opportunities to step outside and soak in the spectacular mountain scenery.
Mendoza makes for a great stopover, especially if you're traveling by land between Argentina and Chile. At this point, a city is just a city to us, but like Cordoba, the best part was exploring the surrounding areas. Allot three to four days, and you'll have more than enough time.

Followup to PETA Lighthouse Fishing
Yesterday, PETA released a statement that they submitted a letter of interest for two New York Lighthouses, West Bank Light and Old Orchard Shoal Light. PETA only published the letter sent for Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse. Today, West Bank Lighthouse was also verified as being available as of May 29, 2007 to eligible organizations according to the Long Island Chapter of the U.S. Lighthouse Society.
In 1900, a conical cast-iron brown Lighthouse was built on a reef off Staten Island, West Bank, NY and 4.7 miles south of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to improve the navigational aids in New York Harbor. West Bank Lighthouse was First Lit on Jan 01, 1901 exhibiting a Fixed White Light illuminated by a Fourth-order Fresnel lens and kerosene lamp 59-feet above sea level. After the completion of the Ambrose Channel in 1906, West Bank Light was raised to a height of 70-feet to be used also as the Front Range Light aligned with the Staten Island Lighthouse (First Lit in 1912) for navigating the busy channel.
The Fresnel lens was removed when the Light was converted to solar power in 1998. Currently, West Bank Light (Staten Island Front Range Light) exhibits a Fixed Red Light to the East with a visible range of 12 nautical miles, and a White Isophase 6-seconds (3-second Flash, 3-second eclipse) Light to the West with a visible range of 16 nautical miles, with a higher intensity White Light on the Range Line with a visible range of 23 nautical miles, 69-feet above sea level.
The Staten Island Rear Range Light exhibits a narrow Fixed White Light that can only be seen on the Range Line 231-feet above sea level with a visible range of 18 nautical miles.
West Bank Light is also another dangerous location for Public Access. By submitting letters of interest for offshore Lighthouses, it appears that PETA, if successful, will endanger misguided visitors in their quest to promote eating fake fish food and to end what PETA claims to be fish abuse if expensive landing ramps are not constructed.
West Bank Lighthouse is best viewed by boat with distant views from the grounds of Elm Tree Lighthouse at New Dorp Beach on Staten Island, and from the Boardwalk at Coney Island in Brooklyn.

Fishing for a New York Lighthouse
PETA hopes to catch Old Orchard Lighthouse after submitting their second letter of interest on July 27, 2007 in their quest to establish a National Headquarters for their Fish Empathy Project promoting the protection of fish and aquatic animals from human abuse and slaughter.
Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse, located three miles southeast of Staten Island in the lower New York Harbor, became available on May 29, 2007 to eligible non-profit organizations who had sixty days to express interest in acquiring the Lighthouse.
The 35-feet high Cast iron "spark plug" style Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse was First Lit in 1893 exhibiting a Flashing White Light every 15-seconds (12-second flash, 3-second eclipse) and a red sector to mark the dangerous shoal, illuminated by a Fourth-order Fresnel Lens 51-feet above sea level. Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse served as the Front Range Light which was aligned with the Waakcaack Rear Range Light, located near Keansburg, New Jersey, to mark the narrow Gedney Channel along the eastern shore of Staten Island. In 1950, the Rear Range Light was discontinued when Old Orchard Shoal Light became automated. Currently, Old Orchard Shoal Light exhibits a Flashing White Light every 6-seconds visible to a range of 7 nautical miles with a Red Sector visible to a range of 5 nautical miles.
Despite the fact that Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse is another dangerous location for the public to visit and eat fake fish food, PETA's Fish Empathy Project defies the common sense of salt-water fish provides a good part of a healthy diet which has been known for thousands of years. A previous post this month examined PETA's claims versus scientific research.
Old Orchard Shoal Lighthouse is best viewed by boat yet, the Lighthouse can be viewed using binoculars from Great Kills Park, Staten Island.

Bodie Island Lighthouse was the third Lighthouse built in the vicinity of Nags Head and Oregon Inlet, North Carolina to improve marking the dangerous outer banks by constructing a Lighthouse between Cape Henry, Virginia and Cape Hatteras Light in North Carolina.
Bodie Island Light was First Lit on October 1, 1872 exhibiting a Fixed White Light illuminated by a First-order Fresnel lens and Lard oil Lamp 156-feet above sea level visible to a range of 18 nautical miles. The light was converted from a fixed to a flashing light when the lighting apparatus was converted to electricity on Sep 19, 1932. The current Light Characteristic is 2 White Flashes every 30-seconds (Flash pattern: 2.5-seconds Flash, 2.5 second eclipse, 2.5 seconds Flash, 22.5 seconds eclipse).
On July 13, 2000, the Tower of Bodie Island Lighthouse was transferred from the U.S. Coast Guard to the National Park Service for preserving the historic landmark. In 2003, the Coast Guard planned to remove and replace the deteriorating Fresnel lens with a modern optic. Fortunately, the National Park Service negotiated a plan to save the historic lens and the U.S. Coast Guard transferred ownership of the Fresnel lens to the National Park Service under the General Services Administration's federal property disposal process on April 25, 2005.
The First-order Fresnel lens requires complete restoration of the deteriorating brass framework which secures the gleaming glass prisms and rotating lens in place.

PETA Fishing for a Lighthouse
News about the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) submitting a letter of interest to Saundra A. Robbins, U.S. General Services Administration on July 18, 2007 to acquire Penfield Reef Lighthouse for the national headquarters of its "Fish Empathy Project" is a extreme peculiar use of the historic Lighthouse. If the federal government awards ownership of the Lighthouse to PETA, than PETA's Fish Empathy Project would focus on ending what they call fish abuse by serving faux fish sticks and vegan "seafood" at the Lighthouse cafe.
The "Fish Empathy Project" would be a strange twist for Penfield Reef Lighthouse which was originally built to safely guide fishermen and commercial shipping away from the dangerous submerged reef in Long Island Sound. Michael Prescott, PETA's manager of fish empathy campaigns, seems to think a fish memorial and fake fish food cafe at Penfield Reef Lighthouse will change the opinions of commercial fisherman. Hopefully, their senseless program will never see the Light of Penfield Reef Lighthouse.
Posting a Beacon shining a Light of truth in a sea of PETA misinformation:
According to the news story, PETA's anti-fishing web-site claims fish feel pain yet, scientific research proves most fish do not have nervous receptors (nociceptors) for sensing and reporting pain to the central nervous system and the brain. Some fish species have nociceptive neurones similar to those found in humans, yet there is no evidence for the psychological experience of pain in these fish according to Dr. James Rose, professor of zoology and physiology at the University of Wyoming.
Furthermore, PETA's program of fear-mongering about dangerous mercury levels in fish is untrue according to a report by the Center of Consumer Freedom. Minute traces of mercury in fish is inconsequential to human health and the health benefits of fish continue to outweigh any mercury paranoia being peddled by PETA. According to another study, "women who ate the most fish during their pregnancies had children with the highest IQs." Reference source: Seafood Safety
The application process for disposed Lighthouses by eligible non-profit organizations can be six months to a year and Kenneth Flatto, Selectman of Fairfield believes the Town has the best case for ownership. Hopefully, the Town of Fairfield, Connecticut will be able to preserve Penfield Reef Lighthouse as a historical landmark and icon of our maritime heritage in accordance with the guidelines of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000.
Penfield Reef Lighthouse is best viewed by boat at a safe distance away from the submerged reef.

Win a Lighthouse Vacation
Cape Neddick Lighthouse, locally known as the Nubble Lighthouse, could be the vacation dream of a lifetime if a proposed raffle plan is approved.
On July 9, 2007, Edward MacGorman, Sohier Park Committee chairman, and Mike Sullivan, the York Parks and Recreation director, proposed an annual raffle to sell 1,000 tickets to raise $100,000 for park maintenance and repair.
The raffle winner will be allowed to live in the Keeper's house at the Nubble Lighthouse for one week during the summer. If the raffle plan is approved than raffle tickets would be sold next summer and the raffle winner would enjoy a Lighthouse vacation in 2009.
The creative raffle plan may have been inspired by the need to raise funds for the costly repairs from the substantial damage to the rocky island of Nubble Lighthouse and the destruction of the dock at Sohier Park caused by the Patriots Day Nor'easter on April 16, 2007. (Please refer to the Nubble Damage Post)
Nubble Lighthouse was First Lit on July 1, 1879 exhibiting a Fixed Red light illuminated by Fourth-order Fresnel Lens 88-feet above sea level visible to a range of 13 nautical miles. Currently, the Light blinks a Red Light for 6 seconds and winks for 6 seconds of darkness (Isophase Red 6-seconds).
The last Light-keeper, Russell Ahlgren and his family moved from the rocky island when the Nubble Lighthouse was automated on July 13, 1987. The former Light-keeper said he would move back to the Lighthouse if given the opportunity.
Every year, the Nubble Lighthouse is decorated with white lights outlining the Tower and houses. A "Christmas in July" event is scheduled for Sunday July 29, 2007 from 8-9pm to celebrate York Days. The Annual Lighting of the Nubble occurs on the the first Saturday after Thanksgiving from 5-6pm (Nov 25, 2007 this year).
Nubble Lighthouse is best viewed from Sohier Park which provides excellent views for photographing the scenic seacoast Lighthouse and a gift shop at the Welcome Center.

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech senior Buck Farmer continues to earn accolades, being named the National Pitcher of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Farmer's career-high 14 strikeout highlighted Tech's opening-weekend sweep of Akron.
The NCBWA Board reviews candidates, and each week names one hitter of the week and one pitcher of the week. This is the first NCBWA weekly honor for Farmer, who was a preseason All-America pick by the organization.
This week, Farmer has also been honored as the ACC Pitcher of the Week, and one of six Louisville Slugger National Players of the Week.
After bypassing a 15th-round draft pick last year by Milwaukee, Farmer set the tone for his senior season with 14 strikeouts in eight dominant innings, leading the No. 21 Yellow Jackets to a 3-0 shutout victory over Akron on Opening Day in front of 2,314 at Russ Chandler Stadium.
The Conyers, Ga., native walked none and scattered four singles in improving his career record to 25-8 with his fourth career combined shutout. Just one batter advanced past first in the game – that coming with two outs in the fifth inning – and there were never multiple Akron runners on base in the game. Farmer fired 97 pitches in the efficient outing, with 77 being strikes.
Georgia Tech (4-0) returns to action this weekend with a series at Russ Chandler Stadium versus St. John's. Farmer is on the mound Friday as the series begins at 4 p.m.

The Registrar of Indigenous Corporations, Anthony Beven, today placed Mitakoodi
Aboriginal Corporation under special administration.
The Queensland corporation provides affordable rental accommodation for Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander people who reside in and around Cloncurry. It owns and manages
about 70 residential properties.
Mr Glen Walker from the Queensland-based accounting firm Walker Reid has been
appointed as the special administrator until 27 January 2012.
In April 2011 the Registrar completed an examination of the corporation's books under
section 453-1 of the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders) Act 2006
(CATSI Act). The examination revealed some serious deficiencies in corporate governance
and financial management.
'This is one of our oldest corporations and it provides an important and much needed service
to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in north-west Queensland,' Mr Beven said.
Mitakoodi Aboriginal Corporation was incorporated on 1 July 1980 and is registered under
the CATSI Act. For a long time the corporation operated successfully but began to lose its
way recently due to a lack of good governance and management practices.
'We want to make sure the corporation's affairs are put back in order as quickly as possible
and with minimal interruption,' said Mr Beven. 'As the special administrator Mr Walker will
work closely with the members of the corporation to put in place strong financial
management policies and procedures.'
Special administration is a unique power under the CATSI Act to help a corporation address
its problems. The aim is to return an improved corporation back to its members. For more
information see the fact sheet Special administrations: what members and directors should
know available at www.oric.gov.au.

Anywhere Validate
Anywhere Validate automatically validates the negotiability of paper-originated items for any self-service, centralized or distributed capture channel or image exchange trading partner within the Omnichannel of a financial institution. Designed to minimize the risk of checks and cash equivalent images from being non-negotiable, the system is an entirely new approach and technology compared to traditional image usability testing or manual review processes.
Anywhere Validate applies enriched recognition technologies to the payer, date and amount fields, while expanding traditional features like IQA, Amount Verification, signature presence and restrictive endorsement classification. From these recognition field results, 15+ validation tests are then activated to protect all potential parties within the payment stream including: bank of first deposit (BOFD), paying bank, retail customer, corporate client. Each validation test, activated in either real-time or batch, creates a score which complement the overall analysis approach from big data/analytics/capture/fraud systems, streamlining traditional deposit review functions. The results of each score are controlled by the Owhere App and be viewed via the Owhere Examiner.
Current Tests are summarized below:
|Use Cases and Tangible Achievements
|Account Name Validation
|Free read, verify fields, kiting, risk per channel, feed downstream data analysis, marketing campaigns targeting payors from transit banks
|Negative List
|Identify payors/makers from predetermined lists, i.e. black list, closed accounts, fraud, other
|Flag payors which could indicate fraud or problematic accounts due to incomplete data
|Check Out of State
|Identify payors from outside of state which may pose risk, international items, feed downstream data analysis
|High Dollar Detection
|Risk management for manual review, internal controls, SAR, can use index from balanced file
|Verification (CAR, LAR, Index compare)
|UDAAP & Reg CC risk mitigation, minimize customer errors, limit cash letter errors, reduce adjustments
|Discrepancy (CAR vs. LAR)
|Identify customer errors, limit operational errors, ensure LAR precedence
|Image Quality Assurance (IQA)
|Apply FED, FTSC or unique parameters to images to minimize non-compliant images (NCI) and quality issues
|Presence Detection
|Reg CC, UCC and ECCHO rule compliance to confirm signature is on image
|Presence Detection
|Identifies that a signature is present on image
|Restrictive Endorsement Validation
|Endorsement Classification
|Classifies the type of endorsement based on verbiage
|Virtual Endorsement Filtering
|Selective abilities to filter virtual endorsement out to identify if originating endorsement was present
|Illegal Document Identification
|Identifies RCC/PAD items per ECCHO rules, validates approved document types as defined in bank customer relationships on a workflow level, i.e. RDC, ATM
|Stale and Post Date
|Risk and fraud related topic, UCC related topic, date ranges are flexible per workflow
|Deposit Out of State
|Identified via the state of the deposit, risk mitigation of suspect customers, KYC
