A federal rule to the Fishery Management Plan for the snapper-grouper fishery has been published and will be effective October 23.
The new rules of Amendment 13C to the Fishery Management Plan will increase the recreational size limit of black sea bass from 10-inches total length to 11-inches total length and reduce the overall recreational bag limit to 15 fish, effective October 23. The new guidelines are for fish caught in federal waters. The approved regulatory actions are intended to reduce harvests and end over fishing of the snapper-grouper fishery.
When Amendment 13C becomes effective there will be a difference with the state regulation, in which the black sea bass recreational size limit is 10-inches total length and has a recreational bag limit of 20 per person per day.
According to S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Law Enforcement Officer Lt. Chisolm Frampton, "Until legislative action is proposed and changes can be made it will be responsibility of the recreational angler to know whether they are in state waters or federal waters and which size and possession limits apply. Law Enforcement Officers will be enforcing the new federal size and bag limits in federal waters and will continue to enforce the current state size and bag limits in state waters."
For additional information, contact Jack McGovern with the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration at (727) 824-5305, or firstname.lastname@example.com. Answers to frequently asked questions about Amendment 13C can be found at http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/sf/grouper/FAQs%20092106.pdf.
Other changes to Amendment 13C affecting black sea bass include altering commercial and recreational fishing years from the regular calendar year to June 1 - May 31. During year two of the new rule, June 1, 2007 - May 31, 2008, the recreational size limit of black sea bass will change from 11-inches to 12-inches total length. The rule also establishes a recreational allocation that would decrease over three years.
Other species in the snapper-grouper complex affected by regulatory changes to Amendment 13C of the Fishery Management Plan include snowy grouper, golden tilefish, vermillion snapper and red porgy.
Federal recreational changes for these species include:

This sounds good and fun to make, but in my experience brown rice won't be cooked in 20 minutes in a saucepan, even though the lentils will. Is it the intention to leave the rice kind of crunchy?
Submitted by Rosalinda | August 14 2013 | Permalink
Why peel the vegetables and apple. Are not a lot of nutrients lost once the skin is removed. Why not just scrub well and not peel.
Sounds like a yummy recipe, however.

Not for nothing, but we all know grain-free is the healthiest for dogs. All the science points to this (and common sense in my opinion considering when was the last time you saw a wild dog running through and eating up things they see in rice patties/wheat fields/oat plant fields???). I wish we could get a great grain free version of homemade kibble. I'm wondering if you could cut out the oats and rice and replace with garbanzo bean flour? AND cut the cruddy oils like sunflower and canola (and olive oil bc it's not so healthy when heated at high temps for so long), and replace with part olive/part coconut oil?
Submitted by Terri Martin | April 11 2014 | Permalink
I believe you probably can use garbanzo been flour or any other grain free flour. I make dog treats and many of my recipes say the whole wheat flour can be switched out to a grain free alternative. My dog seems to like when I use brown rice flour for her treats. I think it's because it makes the treats super crunchy.

Great points on the previous 2 comments! What can be used instead of rice? My dogs don't handle rice that well. And is there a way to make this grain-free?
Submitted by Dmoya | August 16 2013 | Permalink
Sounds good...maybe the book has other options for dogs with digestive problems...dogs in wild only lived a few years!!

...you are so right. Like people, dogs are now living much longer lives. I try and make all her dog food but sometimes I cannot.... its strange but the dog we had when I was a child ate the same dry food with table scraps and bones and lived a long life... but now I am scared of store bought dog food; bones; you name it. Its so much more stressful owning and feeding a dog these days. My parents had a hard time finding money for our food let alone our beloved dog.

This is one of the better homemade kibble recipes I have seen, most of them use wheat or corn meal. Yuk. For those of you who want a grain free version, or want to cut cooking time, make this with lentils or garbanzo beans, coconut oil and don't bake it. Just feed the cooked mash :) My dogs like it better that way... actually they like it all raw.
Submitted by Szabo | August 31 2013 | Permalink
My dogs love it. Now that I've made it as the recipe describes I've made it again and this time skipped cooking the turkey, added that to the cooled cooked rice/fruit/veggie mix and used a dehydrator to finish it. I'm fine with canola oil for the omega 3's it gives my dogs. I add other veggies I find in the fridge, too--my dogs eat cauliflower and green beans and I've used that in the mix. I'm so glad you shared this recipe! Thanks!
Submitted by Szabo | September 11 2013 | Permalink
I love this recipe. The lentils and rice continue to cook with the fruit and veggie additions. I've added more/other dog-friendly stuff. I spread it onto sheets in large pancakes that can easily be turned when cooking it. Be careful, in the oven a lot of steam is released. I've made this 3x, now I combine everything and dehydrate it. Thank you. This has been a great addition to my collection. You are very generous to share.

I substitute quiona for rice & other grains in dog food… yup, they don't eat most grains in the wild (though they would eat corn on the cob - just not corn in cornmeal form). Rice & flour - even brown rice - are not nutritionally great but quiona is and is very high in protein. MDR for humans (I don't know dog) quinoa has:
9% niacin, 21% riboflavin, 52% folate, 29% iron, 14% potassium, 33% copper, average across essential amino acids of 47% & 16g dietary fiber.
Rice is 29%, 6%, 6%, 9%, 5%, 16%, 29% & 9g dietary fiber. Only place rice comes out on top is niacin.
So given the extra nutritionally bump, is I figure it is worth it.

I've made this recipe a few times and find if I cook the ground turkey in the saucepan first, then add the rest of the ingredients and simmer, I can make it in just one pot. keeping it that simple helps me continue to cook for my dogs. I don't peel the potato, the apple or the carrots and I don't use the rolled oats, I just add more organic brown rice....my dogs love it

I came late to this discussion; why use rosemary? Does anyone ever use ground beef? My Westie has major skin problems and I'm leery of turkey.

Women take plunge to fight malaria
OCEANSIDE — More than a dozen moms and daughters dressed in their finest took a plunge in the 63 degree ocean to raise awareness and funds to fight malaria on May 8.
The Mother's Day Fancy Dress Swim is one of numerous worldwide efforts to support the goal of One.org to combat extreme illnesses. The collective effort is the World Swim Against Malaria.
The San Diego chapter of One.org is the only group that takes a plunge on Mother's Day.
"Women think of Mother's Day as a day to spoil themselves but once they do it, it's ton of fun," Marlaine Cover, coordinator for One San Diego, said. "It feels better then doing something for yourself."
Each $5 donated by participants and supporters buys one bed net that protects a family from mosquitoes.
"One hundred percent of funds purchase insecticide treated bed nets that protect a child while he sleeps," Cover said. "The critical thing is knowing the problem. Seven jumbo jets of children (about 2,500) die each day. People are not aware how huge the problem is and how easy it is to prevent."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Loved these!!!! So perfect in every way. The paper is gorgeous. I went with an envelope that has a very pointy seal. So chic and fun! The lavender color is gorgeous!"
"We ordered these invites in blue and they look EXACTLY like the image online, so that was great. The online ordering process at one point implied you could get a small picture on the back, and we liked that idea, but as it turned out these invites aren't recommended for pictures because of the texture of the card. We hadn't picked it for the picture option so it was fine, but just a heads up. Speaking of the textured card, it feels really substantial and looks great. We got the envelopes printed with return address and those look great too. Nice paper, crisp font."
"The design staff was so on top of the ball. They sent the invite in for first review, and I had a small adjustment. They emailed back with the updated copy within 10 minutes. I can't say they always act this fast, but I was so pleased! Also, delivery time was impeccable. The invites were almost a week ahead of schedule, and since we were running out of time to send them, I was so so happy! I highly recommend their services and products, any Bride, mother or party planner! They are attractive and impressive."
"This invitation met all of my expectations, from the wonderful quality of the paper, to the color of the ink (I chose Calypso, a bit brighter than the blue on the sample I ordered) and the overall look of the invitation. I had ordered ten samples, and it was a tough call on which invitation to choose - they all were of high quality. This invitation is simple yet somewhat elegant, which was the look the bride and groom were going for. This was a perfect choice for us."
"The quality of the paper was nice and sturdy. Quality of the printing was great as well. The only thing was when my envelopes were delivered there were some ink smudge marks on them, but it wasn't too much of an issue. The personalizing was easy and seamless! I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas and their products to anyone!!!"

Yes Martin Luther King Jr-was a Republican because from the time Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclaimation most African Americans were..... until the late 60s.
But as you point out-both parties have changed-neither is today what it was in the past.
I want to add when I was speaking of what Republicans are suppose to be, and what Democrats are suppose to be-my point was how STEREOTYPES have been used to "DEFINE" members of both parties....that are not necessarily true for all members.
IT is the fringe on both sides that, IMO, keep progress from being made on most fronts-and those people may be very close in spirit to the sterotypes for all.

Ezra Pound – Alf's Ninth BitFollow
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
The midnight activities of Whats-his Name,
Scarcely a general now known to fame
Can tell you of that famous day and year.
When feeble Mr. Asquith, getting old,
The destinies of England were almost sold
To a Welsh shifter with an ogling eye,
And Whats-his-name attained nobility.
The Dashing Rupert of the pulping trade,
Rough from the virgin forests inviolate,
Thus rose in Albion, and tickled the State
And where he once set foot, right there he stayed.
Old 'Erb was doting, so the rumour ran,
Ahd Rupert ran the rumour round in wheels,
And David's harp let out heart-rending squeals:
'Find us a harpist ! ! DAVID is the man!!'
Dave was the man to sell the shot and shell,
And Basil was the Greek that rode around
On sea and land, with all convenience found
To sell, to sell, to sell, that's it, to SELL
Destroyers, bombs and spitting mitrailleuses.
He used to lunch with Balfour in those days
And if the papers seldom sang his praise,
The simple Britons never knew he was,
Until a narsty German told them so.
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of things that happened very long ago,
And scarcely heed one word of what you hear.
Bury it all, bury it all well deep,
And let the blighters start it all over again.
They'll trick you again and again, as you sleep;
But you shall know that these were the men,

The Alabama Online Insurance Verification System, which officers started using Jan. 1, was created to discourage people from driving without insurance. According to the Alabama Department of Revenue, 22 percent of drivers in Alabama do not carry mandatory liability insurance. Those records also show Alabama is the sixth-highest rate of uninsured drivers among the states.
Alabama drivers have been required to carry liability insurance policies since June 2000. The new database — which went into effect at the start of 2013 to help enforce the 2000 statute — was established through a law approved by the Legislature in 2011. The law also requires officials who issue license plates to verify insurance through the online system before providing vehicle registration.
Oxford police Chief Bill Partridge estimated nearly 10 percent of the people his officers pull over either don't have insurance or are unable to show proof of it.
Partridge said he hopes the database will help curb the forgery of insurance cards, and the practice of buying a policy and canceling it shortly after the purchase.
"I believe it's going to work really well once everyone gets used to it," Partridge said. "Hopefully it will solve those issues."
Partridge said officers can now verify whether drivers have current insurance policies by running the motorists' license plates through the database. Most officers will be able to access the program by using the computers they keep in their patrol cars.
Anniston police Sgt. Josh Doggrell said that before the database, officers had to rely on calling insurance companies during normal business hours when a driver's policy was in question.
Doggrell said it's a violation for anyone to drive without proof of insurance, and it's especially pertinent to have proof in the event of a traffic stop or accident.
"If there's an accident (police) always check insurance, if (the driver) claims they have it but don't have proof with them we cite them for it," Doggrell said.
Doggrell said he's seen cases in which a driver acquires a policy that lasts for six months and the card that comes with it, pays for the first month and then never pays again. Before the database, that kind of trickery could be easily overlooked. If the insurance card was up to date, an officer had no way of knowing if the policy was still being paid for without calling the insurance company.
Jacksonville police Chief Tommy Thompson said he estimates his officers cite 10 to 15 uninsured drivers each month. He said officers have caught people selling fake insurance cards for $10.
"They make them look professional and there's always a toll-free number on them that never worked," Thompson said.
Thompson said he thinks the database will help officers and cut down on fake cards.
"It's something that's been long needed," Thompson said.
Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson said a common complaint he hears from drivers is that they've bought their insurance, while other people have not. Amerson said it can be frustrating for people, especially after an accident, to deal with someone without insurance.
"Besides the fact of the inconvenience you have of getting your car fixed, if the other person doesn't have insurance it raises your rates," Amerson said.
It's been a practice of the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office for more than five years to tow the cars of uninsured drivers. Amerson said this is done so people without insurance can't simply pay a fine and keep driving.
Randy Cosper, an Alfa Insurance agent, said he thinks the new law and database will result in more tickets being written.
Cosper said the database won't require any extra paperwork or reporting for local insurance companies.
The Alabama Department of Revenue lists the penalty for violating the mandatory liability insurance law as a $500 fine for first-time offenders. A second offense brings a $1,000 fine and the possible suspension of the driver's license for six months. If a vehicle is registered or driven without insurance, the vehicle registration will be suspended and the owner subjected to a $200 reinstatement fee for a first-time offender. Second- time offenders face a $400 reinstatement fee and a four-month registration suspension.

Corporate travel managers were quick to jump on the SARS-related travel ban to China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Toronto, and other affected areas—and now they're beginning to jump back off again, according to the results of the Business Travel Coalition's fourth SARS survey, released May 8.
The first survey, released April 1, found 27 percent of companies banning travel. That percentage jumped to 58 percent on April 7, rose again to 61 percent on April 16, and now is sliding downward, with 59 percent of companies saying they are banning travel to and from SARS-affected areas. Those who are still banning travel say it's because of concerns that travelers could contract the disease or could unknowingly carry the disease back to the office. Fifty-nine percent indicated that they were banning travel to spare employees the hassle and worry of traveling to SARS-affected locations. One hundred percent say that when the World Health Organization indicates that travel to a certain country is again safe, they'll normalize their travel policies to that area.

The church is actually a double chapel. It was first constructed in the 12th century and promoted to the rank of basilica in 1923. The original facade was constructed in late Gothic and Renaissance styles in the 16th century. It was demolished in the aftermath of the French Revolution and later rebuilt.
The lower part of the chapel is called the Basilius chapel. It has preserved its original Romanesque style from the 12th to 13th centuries. The church on the first floor is the actual chapel of the Holy Blood. The church itself was originally built in Romanesque style, like the Basilius church on the ground floor. It was changed completely to Gothic style in the 15th century and again in 1823. The silver altar is the place where the relic is preserved during the week. The relic is shown to the public every Friday and every day from the 3rd to the 17th of May. Outside the chapel is the Holy Blood museum, which contains the shrine for the Holy Blood and other treasures belonging to the chapel.
The relic of the Holy Blood: The bottle with the blood has never been opened since its arrival in Bruges. The Bible never mentioned the fact that Christ's blood was preserved. One of the gospels mentions that Joseph of Arimathea preserved the blood after he had washed the dead body of Jesus. It is said that Count Diederik van den Elzas brought the relic containing the blood of Christ from Jerusalem to Bruges after the second crusade. But there is proof that the relic arrived later in Bruges, probably around 1250, and that it came from Constantinople (Istanbul in Turkey).
The upstairs chapel is gorgeous, with stained-glass windows, gothic arches, and a colorful altar that is used every Sunday for mass.
The Procession of the Holy Blood passes every year on Asuncion Day in May through the streets of Bruges. Citizens of Bruges dressed in historical costumes enact during this procession biblical scenes and reenact the arrival of the Count of Flanders, who brought the holy relic to Bruges.

So much wealth to see here! A small museum room contains the most exquisite, most
valuable masterpiece by Jan Crabbe, a 17th century metal smith. The Shrine of the Holy
Blood is crafted of gold and silver and encrusted with precious stones. Spectacular! I
wondered if all that gold was paid for with tithes or entrance fees. The guide knew only
that the church was benevolent to preserve all this for us. (He hadn't read the English
novels about the greed and hypocrisy of the early clergy.) I didn't ask him if he knew
what happened to the Rembrandts the Anglican church confiscated from the artist's
home. No need, for all the art in this church depicted holy subjects. I wondered if these
masters wanted to paint the middle class, perhaps a little girl with watering
Another interesting piece is the carved wooden pulpit hanging on high. It is a
magnificent globe from one piece of wood, the shape symbolizing that the Word must
spread across the globe. I reflected, "How presumptive!" The hood or roof had atop it a
representation of Holy Authority--just to make sure no skeptic in the congregation could
mistake the priest for "just a man." I was reminded of the medieval morality plays
stressing the quasi-divinity of priests, God's representatives, not to be
questioned--especially about the wealth they enjoyed while preaching the virtues of
poverty and tithing!
There was much more, including two altars, one of The Last Supper in alabaster,
another of marble set in carved wood. Good advice is to sit near the chapel. appreciate
the symmetry, and find something to study that means something to you according to
your background. We were told not to take photos by the fellow who wanted to sing the
praises of the early church, so I spent $8 euro on the book All Brugge.

As you probably have noticed, today's hydraulic systems are much smaller, run at more extreme temperatures and work harder than ever before. On top of those challenges, many hydraulic systems have to operate through a wide temperature range.
Finding the right hydraulic fluid can make a big difference in ensuring peak performance throughout extreme temperatures and conditions as well as helping to reduce downtime and extend drain intervals. Fortunately, just like our hydraulic systems, the hydraulic fluids we use in them have come a long way in terms of performance. Knowing what to look for is key to getting the right fluid for your system needs.
A number of important factors come into play when choosing the right hydraulic fluid. Of course, you want to make sure the fluid you choose meets OEM specifications and adheres to best practices. You also want to ensure you have a strict maintenance and service protocol to keep your equipment running at its best.

The importance of a high viscosity index…
One important characteristic to look for in a hydraulic fluid is the Viscosity Index (VI)—an important indicator of the oil's ability to resist changes in viscosity due to temperature variations. The higher the VI, the less the oil's viscosity will be affected by temperature changes.
For hydraulic equipment that is subject to a wide range of operating temperatures, high-VI fluids are essential to reduce internal pump leakage, eliminate sluggish operation and increase overall operating efficiency.
Return on Investment
HYDREX keeps your operation running smoothly. It lasts up to three times (3X) longer and offers up to two times (2X) better wear protection than the leading hydraulic oil brand. HYDREX also resists oxidative breakdown—which prevents harmful sludge buildup. So, when you use the right fluids in conjunction with your preventive maintenance program, protecting your investment isn't as daunting as you may think.

Griping about client's bond gets attorney contempt order
By Beth Kramer firstname.lastname@example.com February 14, 2013 7:20PM
Cesar Wence Cuevas
Updated: April 16, 2013 1:51AM
A Waukegan man facing a felony drug charge played musical courtrooms, going before three Lake County judges in two days.
His case was kicked to more than one judge after his defense attorney was found to be in contempt of court.
Cesar Cuevas Wence, 28, was arrested Nov. 16 for unlawful possession of a controlled substance after Waukegan police found 2.81 grams of cocaine on his person when they responded to a domestic violence charge, according to Assistant State's Attorney Danielle Pascucci.
Bond was set at $2,000 for the drug charge. While on bond, Wence failed to check in with pretrial bond services twice during the weeks of Jan. 6 and Jan. 27, Pascucci said.
"He is required to check in at least one time (per) week. For those two weeks, he did not have any contact with pretrial and that is a condition of his bond," Pascucci said.
Based on that, she asked Judge James Booras to increase Wence's bond Wednesday.
Defense attorney Robert Ritacca of Highland Park said his client had missed his ride and was late to check in with pretrial bond services. Wence was on a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, Ritacca said.
"He was 20 minutes late ... based on that, the judge increased his bond to $75,000. I told the judge that's ridiculous based on the violations. The judge said I'm holding you in contempt of court," Ritacca said.
Booras fined Ritacca $500 and found him in contempt of court Wednesday, then he increased Wence's bond from $75,000 to $150,000, Ritacca said. Ritacca's fine was increased to $1,000 and he was taken into custody for about half an hour. He was not booked into the jail.
"I was handcuffed, searched and waited for half an hour. Then the judge says I never put you in custody, you volunteered," Ritacca said.
Pascucci said the court did not order that Ritacca be taken into custody Wednesday.
"(Ritacca) had his voice raised. The court found he was being disrespectful. He was yelling at the court and ... The court asked him to stop several times and he did not," Pascucci said.
Thursday, the day after Ritacca was found to be in criminal contempt of court, Ritacca and Pascucci appeared before Judge Victoria Rossetti because Ritacca asked for a substitution of judge.
"I have a personal issue in hearing this motion," Rossetti said and then sent the case to Judge John Phillips, who is supervising judge of the felony division. Wence, Pascucci and Ritacca went before Phillips on Thursday. Phillips denied the substitution of judge request, calling it "moot."
"Judge Booras has recused himself from (these) proceedings to avoid the appearance of impropriety," Phillips said.
The case was reassigned to a new judge. Rossetti's name was randomly selected.
"There is no contempt proceeding. There is no order. Anytime that a judge makes a ruling for contempt, it should be in writing and have a factual basis. This judge did not. We're asking this judge to appear in this courtroom for what he did to (Wence) and to me," Ritacca said to Phillips.
Phillips sent the case to Rossetti for further proceedings today, Feb. 15.
Wence is in custody at Lake County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bond.

1). We had been getting some "Apache unable to contact the forms server" type errors (the users were seeing the "Failure of server APACHE bridge" error). The log files showed nothing of interest. I increased the memory allocated using setDomainEnv.cmd, and the error seems to have gone away. Yes, I know that it was a shotgun approach, trying something without really having a reason to do so, but it seems to have helped Edit: Now that I review the OHS logs instead of the WLS_FORMS logs, I have found log messages, which leads me to Doc 1380762.1, which tells me I need a patch. DOH. And, oh crikey, Forms 184.108.40.206 is out, it came out shortly after we downloaded 22.214.171.124 to create these environments. Good news/bad news kind of thing...
The Apache Bridge error is fairly straight forward if you understand what it is telling you. It is an error generated by mod_wl_ohs who is owned by OHS (Apache). This module is responsible for the connection between OHS and WLS. The Apache Bridge error means that OHS (mod_wls) was unable to get a response from the WLS managed server it was calling. Basically it was unable to cross the bridge ;) The cause could be anything from the managed server is not running, to the managed server is over tasked, or there is a network configuration issue and the managed server simply didn't hear OHS calling.
2). As tony.g suggested, we are looking for what we should do to solve the "I have n servers with x GB of RAM, what should I do to the out-of-the-box configuration of Forms for stability" question.
As I mentioned, there really are no "Forms" specific tweaks related to how much RAM your machine has. The only exception to this is (although somewhat indirect) to use JVM Pooling. JVM Pooling can reduce the size of each runtime process's memory footprint by moving its java calls to the jvm pool then sharing common requests with other running runtimes. Memory usage by OHS or the WLS managed server really has little to do directly with Forms. Specifically to the managed server, from a Forms point of view, I would not expect the memory cost of WLS_FORMS to increase much because of load. I expect it to increase as concurrent load increases, but I would not expect it to be significant. If I had to guess, seeing an increase of 1m or less per user would not surprise me (this is just a guess - I don't know what the expected values would be). If we were to use our (Oracle) older scalability guidelines, typically we would have suggested that you should consider about 100 sessions per 1 jvm for best performance. Given that v11 uses a newer java version and scalability is better today, I suspect you can easily scale to a few hundred (e.g. 300) or so before performance drops off. Beyond that, the need to add more managed servers would likely be necessary.
3). HA is important to us, so we are implementing a cluster of Forms/Reports servers with an LBR in front of it. I have read in the docs on clustering, cloning a managed server, and via Support, how to increase the heap memory for the WLS_FORMS server. My thought process was "if Oracle gives me instructions on how to increase heap memory and how to clone managed servers, there must be a scenario in which doing so provides benefit." I'm trying to understand the scenarios in which we would do either of those activities.
Refer to the note I mentioned above. Generally, if you limit the number of concurrent sessions to less than around 300-400, I would think the default settings should be fine. If you think you would like to go beyond 300 or 400 per managed server then likely you will need to increase the max heap for the managed server. Again, refer to the note I mentioned previously.
I am aware of the JVM pooling (yes we do call out to Reports) - I've yet to implement this, but it's on my to-do list.
This is discussed in the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E38115_01/doc.111210/e24477/jvm.htm]Forms Deployment Guide

Winchester jeweller offers lessons to beginners after receiving grant from Council
2:00pm Wednesday 11th December 2013 in News By Lauren Howard, Reporter
A WINCHESTER jeweller has received a grant to help offer private tuition to those wanting to make their own jewellery.
Daniel Musselwhite, has been given a micro business development grant by the city council to help him set up his own workshop and offer small courses to anyone wishing to make anything from rings, necklaces and earrings.
He is offering couples-only sessions in which brides and grooms can design and create each other's wedding bands using specialist materials including precious stones and diamonds.
Mr Musselwhite, a former apprentice with Winchester jeweller Jeremy France, also teaches at an adult education course at Peter Symonds College.
"I started teaching after speaking to a friend of mine. I went along and gave it go and I loved it. People get a lot of it and equally I get a lot out of them getting a lot out of it!
"When I heard about what the council were doing I thought 'I've got all this space so why not give it a go'? It's paid for three more benches and it gives the chance for people to make something unique to them. They come away with a high-quality piece they've created themselves and it's quite special."
The Winnall Valley Road workshop can take up to seven people at any one time. For more information visit danielmusselwhite.co.uk.

One problem many women experience when dieting is the belief that weight loss is the same for everyone. Diets that may work well for men are often not as effective when used by women. As women's bodies are different, the Venus Factor is designed to meet the special needs of women who want to lose weight.
What You Need To Know About The Venus Factor
Your metabolism is the key to successful weight loss. Leptin is the key to a healthy, active metabolism. As a natural hormone, leptin is produced by fat tissue. It regulates your body weight.
Women are more prone to leptin resistance than men. There are reasons leptin resistance is linked to obesity. First, a woman's body is not as responsive to leptin. Although it is in your body, you are not using it effectively. Second, leptin levels drop significantly when you are dieting. This process causes your metabolism to slow down and stop working. You may experience a weight loss plateau, or gain more weight.
The Venus Factor is the solution. Your body can reset the way it responds to leptin. Your fat burning hormone will work effectively, and you will lose weight. The process is known as metabolic override.
The Venus Factor Program is not difficult. You are not required to give up the foods you like the most, or perform exhausting exercise routines. When the Venus Factor Program helps you lose weight, it is a safe, healthy, enjoyable experience.
What Does The Venus Factor Program Include?
First, you will receive an easy workout plan. When you choose exercises from the manual, each exercise is accompanied by a video demonstration. This special feature can help you learn exercises, making exercise easy and fun.
Second, the Venus Factor Program manual provides all the information you need to achieve success with your weight loss plan. Everything is explained so you understand what you must do, and how you will benefit from it.
Third, you will have a virtual nutritionist app. It will help you calculate your calorie intake and your progress.
Fourth, the Venus Community is a members-only forum. It can increase your motivation, and provide support through your dieting experience. You can ask questions and share tips with other members.
The Venus Factor Review
One of the most important parts of a successful weight loss program is building lean muscle. This is one reason many diets do not produce the desired results. When diet and exercise are not combined properly, you can lose healthy muscle instead of fat.
The Venus Factor is different. The weight you lose will be unwanted fat, rather than lean muscle. It will actually build muscle, so you are energetic, strong, and healthy.
The healthy diet means none of the drawbacks often associated with weight loss diets. You will not experience plateaus or food cravings.
As it is not a crash diet, the Venus Factor Program can lead to permanent results. You can lose fat from your problem areas, and not regain it.
While crash diets deprive the body of essential nutrition, this is not an issue with the Venus Factor. Your body will have the nutrition it needs to maintain good health.
There are no gimmicks involved in this program. Everything you learn is meant to work naturally with your own body. When you follow the step by step program, it will work. You can even enjoy an occasional snack or treat while watching unwanted weight disappear.
Is The Venus Factor For Everybody?
If you want to lose weight, it can be the perfect solution for you. However, a good weight loss program does not promise immediate, overnight results. You can achieve your desired weight if you take the program seriously.
Following the program can mean weight loss within weeks. Inches of fat can disappear. Equally important, you can keep your new, lean figure after you have lost the weight.
If you are disappointed with the results of other diets and weight loss programs, it is time to try the Venus Factor. Instead of crash diets that can be harmful to your body, the Venus Factor is exactly what you need to be healthy. You can be slim and trim for life.

Internal audit, environment and more sign offs in new governance rulesPUBLISHED: 27 Mar 2014 18:59:12 | UPDATED: 28 Mar 2014 11:27:34PRINT EDITION: 27 Mar 2014
Shaun Drummond
Smaller companies will no longer be able to just say they can't afford to manage risk.
Chief financial officers and their CEOs will need to sign off on every financial report, not just the full year ones under the first revision to the ASX's corporate governance guidelines since the financial crisis.
The third edition of the new guidelines, released on Thursday, also requires listed companies to say whether they have an internal audit function.
Under another change affecting risk management disclosures, if companies don't have an internal auditor or an audit committee, for example, they can't just say it is because they are too small and it is too expensive to maintain them. Companies will need to explain what other measures they have taken to monitor and minimise risk.

Legislation to let retail investors buy bonds on ASXPUBLISHED: 20 Mar 2014 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 27 Mar 2014 10:32:34PUBLISHED: 20 Mar 2014 PRINT EDITION: 20 Mar 2014
Shaun Drummond
Years of regulatory tinkering to kick-start a retail corporate bond market will come to a head in June when legislative changes should pass that allow retail investors to buy bonds issued to institutional investors via the Australian Securities Exchange.
The new regime will also allow a less onerous prospectus to be used for retail bonds for multiple bond issues over three years, as long as the bonds are deemed "simple" enough.
The Australian Securities Exchange and some bankers insist the new mechanism will tap into demand from self-managed super funds for simple fixed-income investments.

Cochlear chief financial officer Neville Mitchell says countries will always compete via tax incentives to attract companies, whatever agreement is forged by G20 leaders this year.
The new national president of the business executives' peak body the Group of 100 will be involved in consultations on tax changes this year as the government grapples with forging an agreement between the G20 to stop profit shifting while some countries change their tax regimes to compete for companies' intellectual property.
"I think it is impossible to have a completely identical tax regime everywhere – total harmonisation is impossible," Mr Mitchell said.

Speaking the Truth
Gary is an author, trial lawyer, Mequon-area resident and town of Cedarburg supervisor. He is a columnist for the News Graphic and writes for several Wisconsin area magazines and is a national columnist with The American Thinker and PJ Media. He lives with his wife, Lisa, and has three sons ages 18 to 28. Gary won Ozaukee County in his bid for the Wisconsin Assembly's 60th District in 2011, but came up just 58 votes short.
Some of you may remember several years back a fad which grew into a hoax which blossomed into a full-blown religion – known as anthropogenic global warming. It was the notion that somehow, the miniscule amount of CO2 produced by man in the atmosphere, which itself is a miniscule greenhouse gas, was responsible for changing the climate of the entire planet, and a companion theory that somehow this temperature change was bad – even catastrophic – to life on earth. It sounds preposterous now, but not too long ago, people began to change their lives thinking they were saving Earth, and companies began offering carbon offsets and "green" products.
In 2006, a former vice-president named Al Gore produced a political propaganda film entitled "An Inconvenient Truth" which was based on factual and scientific errors such as the sea will rise six meters, the Pacific Islands are "drowning", polar bears were losing their homes, the snows of Mount Kilimanjaro were melting, and CO2 was driving temperature increases. The film even blamed Hurricane Katrina on man and featured a now-discredited "hockey stick" graph that falsely attempted to abolish the Medieval Warm Period. But millions believed it. Hollywood movies were based on it. And American industries and businesses were targeted and blamed for it. It was a dark period in American political and scientific history.

"Write a Story," his teacher said, and Riley dove in excitedly!
Okay, you are permitted to ask yourself, "Sixth Grade? Is she kidding?!"
Bear with me, I think this will be relavent for adult writers also.
Riley is currently writing an Action-Adventure Novel, so this was the perfect way to see how it was going with the toughest critic he could find...his Language Arts Teacher!
First, he wanted to understand the parameters:
- How long does it need to be?
- When is it due?
- How many drafts will be required and graded?
Okay, as adult authors, our parameters might be a little different, but these actually correlate quite well, since they speak to the two most important elements: deadline and audience.
Understanding the parameters allowed him to sit down and write a three page first draft story/scene from his novel in about an hour, after finishing his math and science homework, of course. Keep in mind, he has not actually started writing his novel, he has only created character profiles in Scrivener. He has written most of his novel in his head, however, which leads to his first tip:
- "Your story starts in your imagination", and it has to live there for a while for you to love it and write it. NaNoWriMo aside, we need to have digested our stories a bit before we actually start writing them, otherwise, we have no framework from which to create something coherent. The longer you live within the world you create, the more you know its possibilities and limitations - but don't die there!
- "Decide how your story talks" by choosing how to start it. Is this first person, third person or narrative? Does it start in the middle of the action, or does someone tell you what they see?
- "Write what you hear, see and smell" when you are in your imagination story write as if you are actually there. This is easy if you also read books in the genre for which you write.
- "Have a beginning, middle and end" that keeps people waiting to see what happens next, and is consistent with the world you created. Don't forget that your characters' actions need to be consistent within that world, too!
These tips may seem elementary, but we all need to come back to the basics when we start getting too hung up on semantics, publishing details, formatting, cover art, day jobs, social media, and our family life.
As for Riley, he got the critique he needed, along with a surprise. He received 100% for his efforts, and the teacher asked if she could read it to the class as an example of how to write a great story! She also asked Riley if she could copy it to share with future sixth grade classes.
Riley smiled sheepishly, and said, "Sure."
This 11 year old writer is floating on cloud nine, and motivated to write the rest of the book.
We haven't talked about publishing yet, but I'm confident that MommyLoves Publishing will work out a deal!
Do you ever stray from just writing freely from your imagination? If so, what do you do to get yourself back on track? Thanks for sharing your ideas!

About Us
Press Room
Page Navigation
In Treasurer Tim Brennan's Plenary Address (PDF, 9 pages) to the 2008
General Assembly, he announced that the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA's) investment fund had a new name—the Unitarian Universalist Common
Endowment Fund. Brennan said
that the new name more accurately characterizes the Fund as a shared resource
available to all Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations and organizations.
Formerly known as the General Investment Fund, the UU Common
Endowment Fund (or "UUCEF") is a professionally managed, diversified investment
fund, offered by the Unitarian Universalist Association to manage the assets of
congregations, districts and other UU-related organizations. Established in 1962 as a common
investment fund, assets of the UUCEF are currently held in U.S. and international
equities, domestic and global fixed income securities, and other holdings
intended to provide broad diversification.
The Fund brings investors an added dimension—an active
program of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), which consists of making investment
decisions that reflect UU values and contribute to positive social and
environmental change. The Fund's SRI goals are realized by work in four areas:
shareholder activism, proxy voting, community investing, and investment
Congregations wishing more information about the UUCEF may
contact UUA staff or learn more from the UUA Endowment Fund website.
For more information contact web @ uua.org.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations.
Please consider making a donation today.
