The online global dairy auction launched by Fonterra nine years ago has sold US$20 billion of products.
The rise of fats continues to play out as the GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) auction saw its second consecutive rise last week, says Rabobank dairy analyst, Emma Higgins.
Dairy prices rose in the overnight Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction, for the second time in a row.
Latin America may have been the unexpected cause of the GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) overall price index rising 1.7% last week against expectations, says ASB senior rural economist Nathan Penny.
Dairy prices stabilised in last night’s Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction, rising 1.7% following a 9% fall over the previous two auctions.
Dairy product prices gained slightly at the Global Dairy Trade auction overnight.
GDT Global dairy prices were up slightly overnight, stemming two consecutive drops in the GDT price index.
The Commerce Commission has signalled it plans to look at details as to how Fonterra will include non GlobalDairyTrade sales in calculations for the milk price.
The Global Dairy Trade price index was up 3.5% overnight – with at least one major bank now saying the farmgate milk price may go higher.

Profitability and lifestyle quality can rise dramatically for dairy farmers who successfully switch from the confined-feeding system to the production system based on management-intensive grazing (MIG). Furthermore, because MIG systems improve profitability without increasing milk production either per farm or per cow, they offer an alternative to the higher production-lower price treadmill that dairy farming has been on for decades. The literature also suggests that adoption of the MIG system allows farmers to better conserve their soil resources. Few practices improve soil quality and protect against soil erosion as well as permanent grass vegetation. However, research in several locations, including the Northeast, has questioned the environmental impact of some MIG systems with regard to their potential losses of nitrogen and phosphorus to ground water.
Such questions about environmental impacts could serve as a major roadblock to acceptance of MIG systems as best management practices (BMPs) by regulatory agencies and thus, a roadblock to the adoption of such systems by more dairy farmers. The project will collect data on the environmental and economic performance of three well-managed farms in central Maryland — two grazing-based and one confined feeding-based farms. The project will use piezometer wells and stream sampling to measure year-around nutrient losses by leaching in two small watersheds on each of the three farms. The project will also focus on the economic impacts of MIG by conducting a cost-returns analysis of each farm.
The results of the project will be communicated to small to medium-sized dairy farmers, through the use of farmer-authored fact sheets and presentations at workshops in Maryland and Pennsylvania. The results will also be presented to the regulators (State Depts. of Agriculture and Depts. of Environment or Natural Resources) and extension agents with the aim of providing sufficient information on the nutrient issues to allow appropriate state programs to be developed for MIG systems. If the environmental findings are favorable, and the outreach efforts successful, the project should substantially contribute to improving the diversity, profitability and environmental impacts of dairy farming in the Northeast.
Maryland and Pennsylvania nutrient management regulators (state policy makers, state and private nutrient management advisors, extension agents, and conservation district personnel) that learned about the environmental and economic impacts of grazing from this project will plan to promote grazing under certain conditions as a sustainable agricultural practice that will contribute to their state’s nutrient management goals.
Forty of the confinement-feeding dairy farmers in Maryland and Pennsylvania who learned about the environmental and economic impacts of grazing from this project will take steps to learn more or switch to grazing.
In order that there be information on the environmental impacts of grazing to disseminate, it is necessary that the research phase of the project precede the outreach phase. In spring and summer of 2001, we successfully installed some 57 piezometer wells and 36 tension lysimeters in six watershed transects on three dairy farms, two grazing-based and one confined feeding based. In addition, we established ten sampling stations along two streams that bisect two of the grazing watersheds.
The original work plan called for sampling groundwater during the fall 2001 and winter 2002 leaching season. The nitrate and phosphorus contents of these samples were to be determined and the data analyzed to provide information on the environmental impacts of the two dairy farming systems. However, rainfall during summer 2001 through March of 2002 was at a record low and the region had unheard of winter conditions so dry that the water table never rose up to the level of even our deepest piezometers until the fall of 2002. Although we did install several deeper piezometers in Fall 2002 to ensure access to groundwater, the negative water balance for the entire period meant that no meaningful leaching samples could be collected. The two streams being studied also went dry during summer 2002. Therefore, we could not generate the groundwater nutrient loading data that was to be presented at various workshops and meetings originally planned for 2002.
During this time, we collected data from farmer records on nutrient inputs and outputs and made a preliminary nutrient balance analysis for the three farms. We also developed a laboratory digestion method that allows us to examine not only the nitrogen leached as nitrate, but also that leached as dissolved organic nitrogen, a soluble nitrogen form of potentially of major significance that has usually not been investigated in agricultural pollution studies. We also were able to collect and analyze a limited number of stream samples during spring 2002. Fortunately, beginning in early October 2002 rainfall patterns returned to normal or even above normal. As a result the groundwater rose in fall 2002 in the normal manner. We therefore were able to collect samples for October, November and December from both streams and from piezometers in all six watersheds. By the end of the year, we had analyzed the nitrate and phosphorus content in most of these samples, allowing us to schedule a workshop meeting to discuss the environmental impacts measured. We arranged this meeting as a session at the annual Farming for Profit and Stewardship Conference sponsored by Future Harvest CASA and Maryland Cooperative Extension and scheduled for January 2003 where we plan to reach both farmers and regulator and agency people.
Although the environmental results data for the planned workshops were not yet available in 2002, project collaborators held a number of field days, meetings, and pasture walks in which the project, grazing, and its environmental implications were discussed. Stan Fultz, project extension partner organized 11 pasture walks in Frederick and Baltimore Counties, one farm tour to Pennsylvania, one classroom meeting, and 12 individual farmer meetings related to the grazing systems aspects of the project project, reaching a total audience of 306. In addition, David Martin, another project extension partner, discussed grazing, soil, and pasture management in a meeting for 150 equine owners at the Horse World Expo. Bruce Mertz of project partner organization, Future Harvest CASA, also began planning for a series of workshops planned for 2003 to reach both farmers and regulators with the environmental results.
Outcomes: Preliminary nutrient balances and water quality data produced.
We did a preliminary analysis of the nitrogen and phosphorus balance on the three farms, using mainly farmer records, but also some of our data on pasture composition. The results suggest that all three farms are running a positive balance in both nutrients – that is they are importing more N and P from all sources than they are exporting in managed outputs (milk, meat, etc.). Therefore, there is probably some accumulation or leaching and runoff losses taking place. The preliminary ratios of inputs to outputs are not too different among the farms (ranging from 1.8:1 to 2.9:1). However, the absolute amount of excess inputs was smaller (45 lb N and 6 lb P per acre) for the Frederick County grazing based farm than for the other two farms (average of 125 lb N and 13 lb P per acre).
Nitrate in the groundwater was below 10 ppm for 95% of the fall 2002 samples from grazed watersheds. The groundwater nitrate data were similar on all six watersheds. The dissolved reactive phosphorus in groundwater was much lower in both Baltimore County grazed watersheds than in the four Frederick County watersheds, suggesting that the difference may be more related to parent rock types (limestone under much of Baltimore County farms) than to management. About one out of five of the groundwater samples from Frederick County (both grazing and confinement farms) had greater than 0.025 ppm dissolved reactive P.
Stream water in both streams on the Baltimore County grazing dairy farm showed little change in N or P from where the stream enters to where it leaves the farm during base flow, but there were changes during storm flow. Winter camping areas and cow access to the stream resulted in increased P and N loads in the samples downstream from these points.

The Climate Realists Network which my husband and I founded and run (www.climaterealists.org.nz ) has been forwarded your invitation which has since generated quite a response.
I have decided to collate the responses I have received thus far and send them along to you so you gain an understanding of some of the shortcomings of a survey of this kind.
As you read through the responses below, bear in mind one or two of these people have emailed you separately. I have still included their responses in this collation for your convenience.
I have studied, reviewed and appraised every one of the Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Since the First Report made it plain that constructive critics are unwelcome these have been very few. I believe I am the only one who has commented on every Report. They did not answer my comments and most were ignored. It is unpaid hard work.
Why have I done it? It has given me a valuable insight onto the operations of what I have slowly become convinced is a comprehensive international-based fraud, and an attack on genuine climate science. There are many who try to control the flames from the dragon;s jaw. I believe in striking at the heart.
Climate Change- hoax, or crime of the century?

갓의 꼭대기부분에는 날개를 활짝 펴고 중앙을 향하여 있는 네 마리의 박쥐무늬와 네 개의 구름무늬가 섞여 있는데, 무늬는 전체적으로 큰 편이어서 모자의 윗부분을 거의 채우고 있다. 갓끈으로는 호박의 한가지로 누른 빛을 띠는 밀화를 사용하였다. 구슬처럼 둥근 모양의 것과 봉처럼 긴 것을 교대로 꿰어 만들고 중앙에는 원통을 납작하게 자른 것 같은 모양의 밀화 덩어리를 배치하였다. 박쥐무늬와 구름무늬는 왕의 신분을 알려주는 문양이라고 하며, 갓의 꼭대기부분과 은각부분에 이 문양이 섞여 있는 것이 이 갓의 특징이다.
This Korean traditional hat is presumed to have been worn by King Gojong (r. 1863-1907) during the late Joseon. It is especially called jinsarip because King Gojong put on this hat, and it was made with very sophisticated skills. Jinsarip is a hat that only the King or high-ranking government officials could wear. It was made of fine bamboo thread finer than hair, so it is the best product of its kind. The hat has four woven folds, and Chinese silk was put strand by strand and subsequently lacquered. Put under the King’s hat were red threads that were dyed and twisted with Chinese threads. At the apex of the hat are designs of four bats with wings spread and four clouds. The design is rather large, so it fills most of the upper part. Yellow amber was used as chinstraps of this Korean hat. The round-shaped beads and long baton-shaped beads are woven alternately, with amber lumps cut in flat, cylindrical shapes subsequently placed at the center. The hat has a design of bat and cloud, symbolizing the King.

Storyboarding an animation saves time and confusion later on. These tips should give you valuable pointers for planning out your first project.
A storyboard is a visual script that helps everyone involved in a production to understand exactly what's required for each shot. While the basic concept may be universal, the exact function of a storyboard will vary according to the type of project for which it was created. For example, traditional 2D animated series use storyboards as templates for the animators to follow. As 2D animation is typically produced in a different country to the boards themselves, it's vital that they include as much information as possible. Typically, this will include every key pose of the animation, where the camera should be positioned, and how each shot should be composed.
By comparison, the storyboards for a 3D or live-action film will usually be far less polished, and will be stuck to less rigidly. Live-action filmmakers typically use storyboards only for complex scenes, or those including visual effects work that needs to be planned out in advance of the shoot; while some directors prefer to board out an entire film, this is rare. By contrast, TV commercials tend to be boarded out as part of the pitch process. Sometimes the boards can be used as one of the marketing tools to help green-light a project, especially if the investors are having trouble envisaging how a complex script might be translated onto the screen.
These days many productions also use storyboards to create an animated storyboard, or 'animatic' - a version of the finished film made from the storyboard images, which is used to test edits and scene timings. The animatic is a draft version of the final film; as shots are completed, they're dropped into the animatic, replacing the storyboard image. Without this simple tool to save time, money and confusion, most modern feature films could never be made.
While most storyboard artists still use basic tools such as pencil, paper and marker pens, you don't necessarily need to be a great artist. Some people use toys or action figures to create their storyboards; others simply pose actors or friends, then video or photograph the results. Whatever your medium of choice, the tips should contain much of the information you need to get started.

Solwezi, September 27, 2018: The USAID funded Fostering Accountability and Transparency in Zambia (FACT Zambia) program has launched a project which aims at increasing citizens awareness and engagement on the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) mechanism in Zambia. The FACT-EITI project was officially launched by North Western Povincial Permanent Secretary Ephraim Mateyo at a ceremony held on Tuesday September 25, 2018 at Solwezi Lodge, in Solwezi.
The FACT Extractive industries project will work with local civil society organisations (CSOs), in collaboration with the Zambia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (ZEITI) for enhanced public awareness and improved partnerships in the districts of Kasempa, Solwezi and Kalumbila in NorthWestern Province, and in Kitwe, Chingola and Mufulira districts on the Copperbelt Province. To ensure effective stakeholder engagement in delivering the planned objectives, the FACT Programme’s EITI interventions will be implemented in partnership with ZEITI Secretariat in the Ministry of Mines; Civil Society for Poverty Reduction (CSPR), Zambia Extractive Industry Transparency Alliance (EITA), and the Panos Institute Southern Africa.
nced citizen awareness and engagement on the EITI mechanism in Zambia.
Objective 3: Deepen government engagement with civil society around ZEITI monitoring and implementation.
To achieve the above objectives, the FACT project partners will employ a vast array of interactive and participatory community driven approaches to expand citizens awareness of the Zambia EITI mechanism, and to contribute to increased access to simplified, easily and usable EITI information.
The launch was essentially to introduce the project to key stakeholders from the provincial government, the district authorities, the mining companies operating in these locations and the affected communities. In his opening remarks the Africa Regional Director for Counterpart International, Mr. Mutale Chilangwa emphasized the importance of the initiative in complementing the efforts of government and civil society to ensure that the mining sector contributes to national development.
In his launch speech the Provincial Permanent Secretary Mr. Ephraim Mateyo said the FACT EITI project was in line with government efforts to ensure that the prudent use of natural resources contributes to sustainable development and poverty reduction in resource rich countries, such as Zambia.
“I am glad to note that Counterpart International and their partners are building upon already existing efforts to empower residents in mining host communities, to strengthen transparency and accountability in the mining sector, to ensure local communities participate and benefit from mining activities,” said Mr. Mateyo.
The launch represents the commitment of the Government of the Republic of Zambia in ensuring that the revenues from the mining sector are channeled to improve the lives of the affected communities, and also ensure greater participation of affected communities. For FACT Zambia, this is an opportunity to foster greater collaboration and partnerships as espoused in the EITI mechanism and support citizen engagement through capacity building, simplified and translated information, facilitating engagement through public debates and discussions, drama presentations and other information for mass messaging and civic awareness.
Additional information on the project can be requested from Ms. Chilufya Kasutu, Chief of Party at 0211-254450 or email ckasutu@counterpart.org.
· FACT is a five-and a half year project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Counterpart International.
· The FACT project seeks to enhance the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) to increase opportunities for citizens to engage effectively with government and other stakeholders.
· FACT is will contributing to USAID’s priority of contributing to an improved Enabling Governance Environment in Zambia by increasing citizen demand for transparent and accountable service delivery.

Visit the UK Parliament, or 10 Downing Street, or the Mayor's site for goverment; or maybe the Science Museum, the Museum of London and the London Eye for illumination. The locals are sometimes known as "Londoners".
There has been a site of Christian worship on the site of the "old" parish church since at least 1086---and probably even before then. The first recorded Rector was appointed in 1314 to a Church which included a chapel dedicated to St Thomas Becket and a rood known to have been in a poor state of repair by the fifteenth century.
Sir William Patten, Lord of the Manor, built the present ``Old'' Church, bordering Clissold Park on the north side of Church Street, in 1563. It is the only church of the Elizabethan period left in London, and one of only a few in the entire country. It is also one of the very earliest Anglican Churches which has never been a Roman Catholic Church.
There have been many additions to the building, notably the Victorian box pews and the spire, placed on top of the ancient square tower by the notable architect Sir Charles Barry.

Discover how significant the effect of selecting the suitable Data center could be on your sites and apps.
A data center can be identified as a sophisticated warehouse for servers. This is a facility which holds a large number of hosting servers used by firms for storing web content and files or for carrying out computation services at a big scale. Web hosting, search engines and massive social networks are just a few examples of the services which require data centers for their web servers as they can't function on one hosting server. The facilities deal with the temperature, humidity, electric power and connection backups so as to ensure the most effective and consistent operation of all servers stored there. All data centers include 24/7 monitoring and restrict the access to the machines so as to ensure that the machines are secure at all times. The quality of any Internet service you get often depends not only on the company you communicate with, but also on the data center facility they use.
If you choose to sign up for one of our web hosting plans, you'll have a choice between five of the finest data centers on 3 different continents - SteadFast in Chicago, United States, Pulsant in Maidenhead, UK, TelePoint in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ficolo in Pori, Finland and Amaze in Sydney, AU. This will enable you to select a location closer to your visitors, so they'll be able to enjoy high loading speeds at all times. Each and every facility has multi-gigabit connectivity, fantastic environmental settings and experienced 24/7 technical support, which is exactly why we work with them for many years. Because they provide exceptional server upkeep, we can concentrate on improving our hosting services in order to provide you with the very best service without having to worry about our machines. We have used our advanced cloud platform in all of the 5 locations, so you could take advantage of it and enjoy a great service regardless of the data center that you choose.
If you choose to obtain one of the semi-dedicated server packages that we offer, you'll have 5 data centers to choose from - SteadFast in Chicago, U.S., Pulsant near London, United Kingdom, TelePoint in Sofia, Bulgaria, Amaze in Sydney, Australia and Ficolo in Pori, Finland. All five places are available on the signup page and we use these facilities because we've experienced the excellent standard of service they offer over the years. The data centers are amongst the largest ones in their respective country and they provide excellent conditions for the hosting servers that are a part of our highly effective cloud hosting platform where all semi-dedicated accounts are setup. All of them have direct fiber routes to many larger cities on each continent, backup Internet providers and diesel generators, so irrespective of which location you'll choose during the order process, you will enjoy a quick Internet hosting service without interruptions of any type. If some unexpected issue occurs, it is sorted out in amatter of minutes by experienced tech support teams that are available 24/7.
As we strive to give you the most efficient web hosting service, we also offer you a choice where your sites shall be situated, so we offer OpenVZ VPS servers on 3 different continents and you will be able to choose the data center location during the signup process. The featured choices are SteadFast in the US, Pulsant in the UK, Ficolo in Finland, TelePoint in BG and Sydney in Australia, so you'll be able to choose the one nearest to your target area. We have chosen these facilities as they provide the finest conditions for the maximum performance of our machines. The access to the hosting serves is guaranteed through the use of redundant Internet service providers while their constant work is guaranteed by diesel generators and an efficient UPS unit for every individual hosting server. Our service guarantees are also dependant upon the latest generation of equipment we employ, including SSD drives for the web servers that will give your websites a huge speed boost in comparison to the classic HDDs. The standard of the service we offer with the OpenVZ-based virtual servers is the same within all 5 data centers.
We've chosen one of the biggest data centers on the globe for the dedicated server packages we offer. The SteadFast facility in the town center of Chicago provides outstanding conditions for all servers accommodated there and that's one of the reasons to select it for our servers. The data center is amongst the best locations to host websites which target North America as it has direct fiber connections with many major cities across the US and Canada, so how quickly website visitors shall open your sites shall depend entirely on their Internet connection. Multiple Internet service providers and a 1.5 MW diesel backup power generator ensure that your dedicated server will be operational constantly and that your sites shall never go offline. The newest generation of Cisco network equipment and thoroughly tested server spares along with a 24-7 support are also among the factors behind our choice to offer dedicated servers within the SteadFast facility.

We all like to warm our souls with great comfort food. Here at Tastet, we’ve put together a list of the 7 best comfort food restaurants where you’ll find delicious cuisine and welcoming atmosphere!
Au Pied de Cochon is a friendly and unpretentious restaurant. It is Montreal’s first open kitchens, a decision at the time to emphasize authenticity and straightforwardness. The atmosphere at Au Pied de Cochon is always very upbeat and the food is generously portioned. The menu reflects the owner Martin Picard in the sense that they are both exceptional and intense. Since opening in 2001, the establishment has made a name for itself internationally, and continues to do so. Definitely worth the visit and undisputedly one of the best Quebec restaurants in Montreal.
Le Chien Fumant is a small establishment on the Plateau Mont-Royal that continues to please its clientele since it opened. The place is warm and comfortable and the décor is simple and classic. The small size of the room together with the attentive and friendly service makes your time here very comforting and enjoyable. The menu includes refined classics that are well prepared and service goes until 2am each night. You’ll be sure to enjoy the tasty dishes in this small restaurant in the Plateau.
At Liverpool House take in the same friendliness and generosity as its famous neighbour, Joe Beef. In a colourful and beautifully decorated setting, Liverpool House is one of Montreal’s most enjoyable restaurants. On their menu, the house offers high quality dishes, both original and generous, such as oyster platters and seafood. You will also find a well-conceived wine list to accompany your meal. The place is ideal for a fun evening with very good food.
For us at tastet.ca, Nora Gray is one of Montreal’s finest dining experience. You are sure to eat phenomenally, enjoy great drinks and be served graciously all in a quiet and relaxed setting. Nora Gray’s menu is the work of chef Emma Cardarelli and features Italian-style cuisine – it is one of Montreal’s finest Italian restaurants. The small space seats around forty, in surroundings of walls covered with wood, leather benches and a large bar; the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. The dining room staff are very pleasant and their contribution to your time at Norah Gray is an important one.
Gus Restaurant is a welcoming neighbourhood restaurant where you go to enjoy generous and delicious meals. We recommend Gus if you are hungry and looking to have a good meal in friendly surroundings – many have already done so since it opened. The Gus holds around 25 people making it more intimate, and there are 10 more seats along the bar. The place is welcoming and pleasant, offering a hearty meal to enjoy either alone at the bar, with friends or lovers. We come here to enjoy delicious food and feel content: dishes appear simple, but are quite complex in taste and execution.
Bremner brought to us by Chuck Hughes and Danny Smiles, is certainly one of Montreal’s most essential restaurants. In a festive and welcoming basement on St Paul St East, enjoy Italian-style cuisine with a touch of the Middle East. All the ingredients are local and the combination of flavours are creative. The portions are generous and the quality of the ingredients result in simple and delicious plates. The menu is compact but very well done and includes their classic cavatelli with neck of lamb, and the currently popular snow crab, shrimp and lobster.
Maison Publique has been busy every evening and weekend since its opening (!). It makes the list as Canada’s 100 best restaurants (!). At Maison Publique, you eat well, the drinks are excellent and the quality and consistency of the food are impeccable. It is an essential place to dine in our city. The talented and friendly chef Derek Dammann is behind this great project. His experience in preparing small and delicious dishes inspired by English gastro-pubs using the most fresh and local products. The house dishes are remarkably simple and perfect for sharing & having a good time.

The Republic of Macedonia, a landlocked country in the Balkans, is sometimes forgotten in favor of its more famous neighbors like Greece or Bulgaria. This little country is, in fact, the very best of the Balkans rolled into one patch of mountains, lakes and hills shared among native Macedonians, Albanian Muslims and other Balkanic people.
Macedonia is the Eastern European cocktail that can guarantee you an exciting and unforgettable holiday, especially if you skip the luxury travel options and do things the old-fashioned way: backpacking. Macedonia is the perfect destination for backpackers – it is affordable, friendly and beautiful. So here’s a short backpacker’s guide to Macedonia.
Unless you are planning on staying in one place, you should get used to the idea of being on the road for some long (but not necessarily boring) hours. Everything in Macedonia is well spread out, and there are things to see in practically every corner of the country.
Buses are usually the cheapest options, but in summer they tend to be very crowded and hot, so you would be better off taking the train. The national train service is rather slow, that’s true, but coaches are more comfortable than buses, and you get to see some pretty amazing views too (not to mention the opportunity to get acquainted with some locals).
Unfortunately, one of the country’s most beautiful cities, Ohrid, doesn’t is not connected to the railway, so you can either take the bus or rely on hitchhiking, which can be fast, but not for free (in Eastern Europe, you are in general expected to pay for your hitchhike).
Tourist attractions like Ohrid have ridiculously high hotel rates, and other major cities are not far behind. There are some hostels available, but the but value for money is private accommodation. You can find lists of lodgings at tourist information centers or at travel agencies, and a room for a night should not cost you more than 10-15 euro. Check out European hostel listings for comprehensive lists of Macedonian hotels and their rates.
Food and drinks in Macedonia are cheap by Western standards, but there are more than enough tourist traps too that will charge you more than your meal’s worth.
Avoid the fancy waterfront restaurants in Skopje for example, because they cater mostly to tourists. If you’re down on your budget, try a skara place, where you can find a variety of grilled meats and vegetables (you’ll have to pay separately for the side dishes, usually). Although you can get virtually any type of cuisine in Macedonia, taste the traditional food – it is representative for the Balkans.

Carmine (White, French Bulldog) is about 9 months old and weighs 30lbs, Though it can sometimes feel like 100… He loves Roxie (Black, Long Haired Daschund) who happens to love him back . Roxie is about 11 months old.
Carmine does seem to be in love with Bianca.
Penelope (Red, Long Haired Daschund) is 4 year old today, and couldn’t care less about anything . Though sometimes she also could live without Carmine… It does however seem that as long as someone will rub her belly she can deal with it.
What a great looking family… I especially like the french bulldog.

The large Volkswagen Atlas SUV is a popular family-hauler option. VWoA has created a concept for families that thrive on adventure.
Based on a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium, or the equivalent of a Canadian Execline, the Basecamp concept demonstrates how cool a large urban assault vehicle can look when properly dressed to leave the beaten path behind.
The list of added features reads like a dad’s customization wish list for what is otherwise a soccer-mom’s super hauler. The coolest accessory is without a doubt the all-new fifteen52 Traverse MX Concept wheels which are debuting on the Basecamp and will go on sale in the fall. Said wheels are wrapped in chunky BF Goodrich 265/70R17 all-terrain tires which properly accentuate the otherwise timid 1.5-inch lift provided by the H&R suspension lift kit with coil over springs.
Other noteworthy accessories on the Atlas are the custom body kit by Air Design which is is painted Platinum Gray and Black Uni with a matte finish and orange accents, a Front Runner Slimline II roof rack system and front and rear off-road LED light bars.
The Basecamp name refers to the off-road capable HIVE EX compact expedition camper/trailer which is equipped with a queen-size bed, canopy, and kitchenette with a stove, a sink, and a refrigerator/ freezer combo.
The Volkswagen Atlas Basecamp Concept will be shown next week at the New York Auto Show. As a father of two, I would so rock this truck.

Nestles the seed of Perfection.
For centuries, Jesus’ words have been brushed aside as meaning: “You really ought to be perfect” (a nice idea, but of course we can’t attain it); or “You should strive to be perfect” (God appreciates our efforts, though we’ll never make it); or “If you want to go to heaven when you die, you’d better be perfect!” (but since God knows this is impossible, God sacrificed His son on a cross to take away our sins). Somewhere along the way another concept arose: “You’re not perfect now, but someday, after this life is over, you’ll be perfect” (a total change in consciousness brought about by the mere event of physical death?).
These are not the teachings of Jesus. He did not waste time on futile idealisms. He was a practical man whose purpose was to show us how to live the abundant life. He was not speaking of duty or of attempting to become something we cannot become or even of potentiality. Jesus was speaking Truth and fact—right here and now.
If there were some question as to our biological classification or species, it might be resolved thusly: “You, therefore, must be human, as your earthly parents are human.” Logical? Of course. There is no question that we ought to be or should be human, or that someday, through the grace and sacrifice of our parents, we might achieve some degree of humanity. We are human. It is our nature and cannot be denied.
In this same manner, we are spiritually perfect. This, too, is our nature and cannot be denied.
A beautiful pecan tree, perhaps a hundred years old, grows in our front yard. I hold its fruit in my hand. The pecan is small, less than an inch long and a half inch in diameter. Yet as it falls to the ground, all the forces of nature begin the process that results in a pecan tree.

Add apricots, banana, kale, spinach and berries in a juicer. Note: Make it a smoothie by adding 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk.
I’ve tried a few green smoothies with mostly disappointment. This one sounds good with the apricots.

text: Muscovado is another recent addition to the dining scene from Filipino sisters Quina and Francine Lon who found themselves disappointed by the overpriced, mediocre brunch spots that have cropped up around town. “Nothing beats freshly baked croissant or tartines in the morning, ” says Quina Lon, but “I found [other restaurants’] concept of brunch strange as it is based on a fixed price formule so you don’t get to choose what to eat, and it’s expensive. To me, brunch is hangover food or cheat weekend food and it needs to be hearty and with soul.” Muscovado serves exactly that: hearty and soulful breakfast food that still maintains a quintessentially French spirit. A breakfast dish like duck confit hash with duck eggs is the best of all (French and American) worlds. They even serve orange blossom doughnuts stuffed with, of course, homemade strawberry rhubarb jam.

The camps in central part of the Park are open year round whilst the flood-waters that cover the Busanga Plains in the summer months mean that the camps in that area are only open from June through until the end of October. The Kafue National Park is home to a larger variety of species than any other Park in Zambia, Red Lechwe, Sable and Roan which are uncommon in other Parks are often seen here as are Wild-dog and Cheetah.

I’m off to a conference tomorrow until Sunday, not sure how much internet access or blogging time I’ll have. Good luck to everyone cycling right now – can’t wait to get back and catch up on all the news!
I can’t figure out how to get the little logo to appear here, but following JJ’s idea I’m paying tribute to my inspirations for IF blogging.
2) Manuela of the Thin Pink Line – she’s gone underground, but hers was the first IF blog that got me hooked, and from there it spread. I’ll never match her level of raw emotion and outrage but I thought she was really brave and that inspired me.
“He’d better not be telling me what to do!” I said, for a laugh. She went on then to reminisce about her own experiences of childbirth etc.
I have to figure out how to deflect these questions. I really don’t feel comfortable discussing the matter with her, particularly in front of my FIL. My plan from here on out is to turn it around: “What do you think, based on your own experiences?” and prepare to hear many a gory tale. I’m much better at listening than disclosure. Plus, people like being asked for their opinion.
2. Today I went shopping and bought 4 pairs of pants and 4 tops. I totally scored at the thrift store, I’m so happy! Nice warm pants to wear that aren’t sweats! Yay! Most of the stuff is too big at this point but I’m looking forward to wearing it after New Year’s. Assuming all goes well until then.
I love national holidays. You can sleep until noon, and still get so much work done! Not that I’m a workaholic*, I’m just behind.
My in-laws were here yesterday; the first thing my MIL said as she came in the door was “how’s my grandbaby doing?” It’s amusing now, but I suspect it’s going to get old quickly. One advantage of being among the last of your friends to spawn is that you hear all these stories and cautionary tales ahead of time. So the proprietory nature of the comment came as no surprise. I didn’t really know how to answer so I just thrust the latest u/s pictures at her.
The last thing she said as they headed out the door was “take good care of my grandbaby!” while patting my belly (which I HATE – but I didn’t have the heart to tell her that she was actually patting my guts, as the uterus is a lot lower down at this point …) Um… ok! I was planning to smoke crack all weekend, but since it’s your grandbaby, I guess I won’t, after all.
Actually, I really do get it. I haven’t been reading kinship studies up the wazoo all semester for nothing. A grandchild is not only an acquisition, it also causes a change in status for the nascent grandparents – but one that is bestowed upon them, rather than one they can achieve for themselves. Therefore, they find it all the more necessary to verbalize the claim in order to reinforce it since it is otherwise somewhat immaterial.
It’s a little annoying. Suddenly I’m just the passive vessel for the family spawn. And really, though, I am thankful for that, too.
Second ultrasound, and all is well!
The purpose was, of course, genetic screening, but my secret purpose was a sneak peek for reassurance. All the measurements look good at this point; I know they’re inconclusive, but it was enough for me right now to see little arms waving and little legs kicking, a tiny profile, movement, and heartbeat. I’m beginning to feel safe enough to maybe do a little shopping this weekend. And, after Thanksgiving, freely to tell anyone who might care!
I just spent an hour listening to and watching Tori Amos clips on Youtube and crying, instead of reading for class like I should be. But it felt really good.
I’ve been thinking about my late BIL more often than usual recently, and crying every time I do. I wasn’t sure why until I realized that this time of year evokes the last few times I saw him alive. In October ’04, I went to Maine to see my 3-week-old niece; in November the 3 of them stayed with us overnight on their way to Florida, and in December they came back for Christmas. He died in March.
This is the song that, for me, always evokes the day he died. My sister called me shortly afterwards and I was there the next day. Nothing has been the same since then, for her or her daughter, obviously, but for our whole family as well. I told someone recently that this event was the last nail in the coffin of my faith (somewhat melodramatic, but not too far off – that was certainly when I gave up on the idea that I’d ever feel close to or trust God again). It seems kind of lame to twist this into being all about ME ME ME but it did affect me, and mine is the only story I’m really entitled to tell here anyway.
Today I slept in, was grumpy, spent all afternoon and evening catching up on work that was due a week ago. Punctuated by a long, wonderful nap during which I dreamed that Prof. H. returned my paper with glowing comments and accolades (mmmm…).
T. vacuumed the whole apartment (even the corners! Of the ceiling!), washed dishes, went grocery shopping, cooked, fed me, and even did some of his own academic work. Wow!
I contributed by dusting the bookshelves.
It just makes me extremely grumpy.
When the service started, it involved a tall thin man with white hair showing us how to make hand-made paper.* I actually went up front to see from close-up. He was making a range of kinds of paper, from fine to coarse, and articulating some analogy to spirituality. All the paper had inclusions of different kinds, mostly pressed flowers. The colors were in a range of lavender, lilac, and blue-gray. He dropped one piece and I helped him pick it up carefully (seems like it was still damp).
So then I went back to sit with Terry again, and there were piles and piles of pillows and cushions all over the seats, little puffy ones – white and mint green. Terry was drinking a beer, and I saw people walking in with bottles of all sizes, and growlers even. Everyone had beer. Someone said it was something they were doing to keep people coming to church. The atmosphere was very much like a sports event.
So then this dramatic spectacle of a musical number started, complete with oversized sunglasses swinging from the ceiling (spectacle, get it?). We got a little fed up and left.
Outside, there were skeletons everywhere. It was really gross and kind of upsetting. There was one that we were particularly responsible for, as well as a collection of bones. All the skeletons had bits of clothing and desiccated flesh still on them. At first I only saw them lying in black plastic bags sort of heaped around the doorway to the church, which seemed to be an enormous building – like a parking garage – partly underground. Then I saw rows and rows of skeletons all along the roof, all the way around. They were everywhere I looked. Terry and I had to do something with our skeleton but I’m not sure what – take care of it, in some way. I felt quite upset.
*Which is one of my hobbies in real life.

Bourns is pleased to announce the introduction of a new family of Polymeric Thermal Cutoff (P-TCO) devices designed to protect USB-C cables from destructive and potentially dangerous thermal runaway events. The new P-TCO family includes two series: the P-TCO-U series in a 1210 footprint, and the P-TCO-N series in an ultra-compact 1206 footprint.
The USB Type-C connector features 24 pins in a smaller form factor than previous USB connector designs, and is capable of delivering up to 100 W of power. There are clear benefits to these enhanced features and capabilities. The downside to this combination of increased power and extremely tight pin spacing is a heightened concern about safety hazards due to the possibility of thermal runaway triggered by dirt or liquid entering the connector and causing a short. The new P-TCO model family from Bourns offers an effective combination of compact, ultra-low resistance thermal protection to guard against such potentially dangerous runaway events.
Each P-TCO series has a 12 V maximum operating voltage rating, a 50 A maximum operating current rating, and comes in three different models designed to provide protection for six different temperaturecurrent combinations. The ultra-low resistance materials used in the P-TCO family enable both the P-TCO-U and the P-TCO-N series to achieve initial resistance values as low as 2 mOhms and posttrip resistance values as low as 14 mOhms, thereby allowing the devices to achieve current carrying capabilities as high as 4.5 A.
Bromine (Br) and Chlorine (Cl) content is 1500 ppm or less.

Lost my original login password, cant use my old username!
Its been a while since I used the Secret Leeds Forum as I've been a bit miffed that for some reason when I've come to use the forum my original username and password wont let me log in. I used to be known as JonLeeds and I'd always had the same password for years and never changed it.
I dont know if it coincided with the forum being redesigned that my problem with not been able to login started. Anyway its put me off using the forum as I've felt like I've lost my identity on the forum and I'd used the Secret Leeds forum virtually since it started plus I contributed quite a lot of material and people knew me by that login name as a lot of the things I'd written threads about or discussed would be spotted by people I know and they knew it was me.
I'm pretty gutted that I've lost the connection with storiesand stuff I'd written on the forum as I'm now having to login as a different username. I've tried various combinations of my original username and password with no success. Can anyone suggest how I might get my original user name unlocked and be able to change the password to something that will allow me to login? I emailed Duncan but whatever he suggested I do didnt work so I'm still stuck.
Re: Lost my original login password, cant use my old username!

Well I've emailed Duncan so hopefully I can get my old username login details and rejoin the forum. Thanks for the kind comments 'Sid'!
I've emailed both of you Jon/Hyperion, let me know if you have any further issues/queries. If anyone else is having login issues please email duncan@tyrell.mobi and I'll do my best to resolve things!
Good to see you back on here posting again Jon. I too lost my old user name in the forum switch, but this new one is fine.
I enjoyed watching the Juliet Bravo episodes on youtube that you mentioned in one of your last posts on your old account in the Vulcan thread.
Did you ever watch the Edge of Darkness box set that you wanted to see?

Thanks Happy Valley! Yes I did get round to watching Edge of Darkness and I thought it was a stunning piece of TV drama, I missed out on buying the boxed set though, I just downloaded it in the end..
Cool, I ran a spare copy off of the box set that I bought for my dad, which you could have had if you hadn’t and still wanted to watch it.
I noticed that they quickly whacked the sale price up on it that day, yet I bet they hadn’t sold a copy for ages until we all started buying them after reading your thread.

A few minutes before we needed to leave for school, Natalie asked, "Mom, can two girls get married?"
I took a deep breath...then spoke from my heart -- as succinctly as humanly possible and answered any questions she had before we had to scurry out the door.
Her conclusion: "So, it's kinda different, but also kinda awesome, right?"

Statkraft Ireland’s proposed Coole Wind Farm has received planning consent from An Bord Pleanála providing Ireland’s objectives of reaching its renewable energy targets a welcome boost. Located in Co. Westmeath, the wind farm will consist of 13 turbines with a maximum tip height of 175m.
Under the new Renewable Energy Support Scheme it would attract a multimillion-euro community benefit package for the local area. With an installed capacity of up to 50MW, it will also have the capacity to provide pure renewable electricity for over 36,000 Irish homes.
“We are delighted with the decision of An Bord Pleanála to grant planning permission for Coole Wind Farm. We engaged extensively with all stakeholders to ensure that the design and development of this proposal was carried out to an exceptionally high standard. With the construction Statkraft’s Kilathmoy Wind Farm progressing on time and within budget, the grant of planning for the 12 turbine Moanvane Wind Farm that was secured earlier this year and this positive decision on Coole Wind Farm, we can work forward with confidence in the knowledge that we are playing a significant role in transitioning Ireland to a low carbon and renewable based economy”.
The Coole Wind Farm application was previously assessed by Westmeath County Council who had determined that they could not provide a grant of planning consent for the sole reason that the application was not in line with the county development plan despite the proposal being in line with all regional and national requirements and meeting all other criteria.
The new RESS scheme has significantly increased the community benefit aspect of renewable energy projects that will be developed in the future in Ireland. What the grant of planning and changes in RESS mean for Coole Wind Farm, is that there is now the potential to attract a multi-million euro community fund for the local area. Under this scheme there would be the potential to invest in the region of €1million in the local community within 3 to 4 years of operation with further community contributions of an estimated €2million available over the lifetime of the scheme.
“The grant of planning on Coole Wind Farm presents an excellent opportunity to show how local communities can benefit in a very significant way from renewable energy projects and we look forward to working with local people to ensure that the full potential of this opportunity is realised.

Elegant floral chintzes arranged on a white ground are particularly favored from Maryland down through the Carolinas.
At least thirteen very similar counterpanes attributed to Achsah Wilkins survive. Recent research suggests that her mother (Milcah Dorsey Goodwin), sister (Milcah Goodwin Dorsey), or both, may have made, or assisted with, some of them. Family history records that Wilkins suffered from a skin disease that prevented her from sewing, and that she supervised several African-American women who did the stitching after Achsah designed the layouts.
Achsah most likely bought her chintzes from her father, William Goodwin, who imported the latest luxury goods for his dry goods store. Many quilts of this period use the same center basket panel,especially in the Carolinas. Achsah used this basket in seven of her counterpanes, four with matching borders. The medallion and border set would have been especially lavish and costly.
The DAR Museum owns two South Carolina quilts with center medallions identical to the one Achsah used, but with more colors used in the printing process. DAR Museum 83.33, detail, gift of Louise Mosely Heaton.

Nov.10 (GMM) Sebastian Vettel this week has given another sign that Red Bull is staying with Renault power for the 2010 season.
McLaren, Mercedes' exclusive F1 partner, vetoed Red Bull's desired switch to the German marque's engines, and it is believed that moving to Cosworth was ruled out due to question marks about the returning British supplier's 2.4 litre V8.
It is believed that an internal deadline at Red Bull Racing simply came and went without a decision, moving Adrian Newey to progress with work on the 2010 car on the basis of the current Renault specification.
Team driver Vettel was asked by spox.com if he wanted to be powered next year by the Mercedes engine, which is regarded as the best currently in F1.
"It is obvious that the Mercedes engine was an important piece of the success of Brawn," the German answered.
"As a team, and myself as a driver, we want the best possible package. That will be possible next season with different engines, including the Renault," added Vettel.
Red Bull was thought to be on the verge of announcing an ongoing Renault deal, but the French manufacturer's deliberations about its future in formula one are causing yet another delay.
Renault's hypothetical withdrawal from F1 as a chassis maker might benefit Red Bull, as the carmaker is tipped to stay on the grid solely as an engine supplier.
Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, meanwhile, reports talks about a takeover of Renault's F1 engine division between the carmaker and Mario Illien.

This afternoon, five teenage girls, all undergoing treatment for cancer at West Palm Beach’s St. Mary’s Medical Center, were invited to Frederic Fekkai’s Brazilian Court salon for complimentary hair/wig styling, makeup applications, manicures and pedicures before heading off to the Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale for prom night.
The girls are being hosted by the nonprofit organization A Prom to Remember, whose mission is to “provide the ultimate prom experience for teens who have been affected by cancer.
“This is really exciting,” said 17-year-old Dalesa Milton, of West Palm Beach, in the photo above, who was getting her wig styled by Denise Lopez, a Fekkai senior stylist, as nail tech Lara Perlova set to work on her nails.
Alisha Lane, above, a 15 year old from Belle Glade, was seated nearby, while aesthetician Michelle Mirizio, did her nails.
She, too, was looking forward to going to her prom night and was grateful to the Fekkai salon for donating their services.

Sony has been forced to re-apply for its US trademark on Bloodborne and a number of other titles after they lapsed thanks to an administrative error.
Five trademarks all lapsed on March 23rd thanks to the expiration of a six-month period after which the onus was on Sony to prove that they were being used productively, when the company failed to do so a reminder letter was sent. There's not expected to be any opposition to their re-registering, with the company having promptly filed paperwork establishing that the lapse was unintentional.
Four games and one other trademark expired on the same day, with Guns Up, No Heroes Allowed: No Puzzles Either and Kill Strain joining Bloodborne and headphone trademark How Games Were Made to Sound on the embarrassing list. Looking at the documents filed with the US patent office, the contact name and email address for the process at Sony has been changed from one Kiphanie Radford to Lindsey Mohle and Anthony Justman, with trademarks@playstation.sony.com just in case. Radford's LinkedIn page lists her as having left Sony for a new job last year, so it would appear that the slip came down to nobody picking up her workload.
Whilst this sort of admin error is all but inevitable in a company of Sony's size, it comes at a particularly awkward time for Bloodborne, which released to great acclaim in the US yesterday.
Recently, Sony also accidentally abandoned the trademark for The Last Guardian in the same way, prompting more speculation that development on the game had ceased. However, the application was renewed and Sony insists that the game will still see release.
Oh good gravy. Can I haz the job of keeping track of this stuff, please? Just pay me well enough for my time and you'll never need to worry about embarrassing bits like this again.
You know what Greg, I was thinking the same thing when Wesley Snipes got busted for not paying his taxes for consecutive years. I'm thinking "pay me to do it and not only will you never face any jail time but you'll only have to see me once a year when I come over to file your taxes and get your signature". Luckily for Sony this issue isn't as serious because nobody challenged them for any of those trademarks.

Sometimes, you go to a show on a weekday. Like, it’s a Thursday? And you think to yourself, “man yeah it’s a Thursday. I’ve got work in the morning, and so does everyone else. So I get it. But I wish there were more people at this Thursday night show because it’s sick.” Well would you ever have guessed, based on how this started out, that THIS was one of those nights?
Kid Widow: It was their first show, and their best so far. So good, hot riffs, and Ben did metal hair and made himself dizzy and fell over.
Arlen: They’re great like they always are. I realized tonight that sometimes (BUT NOT ALL OF THE TIME) Paul Kenny’s voice sounds like Michael Stipe and to me that’s a compliment.
State of the Union: I’d never heard them before and they were good. Rock and roll, and I wrote “these guys” at first and had to go back and change it to “them” CAUSE IT WASN’T JUST DUDES.
