text: Facts Issue 229, March 2015 Confidor – new label claim for use on bearing grapevines Now with the new claim for the use of Confidor® on bearing vines, wine grape growers have a new tool for controlling mealybugs and an effective addition to grape leaf-roll virus (GLRV) elimination programmes. "The new label claim recommends Confidor should be applied post-harvest as a soil drench treatment. This takes full advantage of the strongly systemic 'from the roots upwards movement' properties of Confidor," says Marc Fox, Bayer CropScience territory manager. "Confidor is effective on mealybug adults and developmental stages and will control late season and overwintering populations. Trials conducted in New Zealand have demonstrated the effectiveness of Confidor (see graphs below)." Confidor can be applied from the period immediately post-harvest up to the end of the second week of May. It should be applied at 1.5 ml in 500 ml of water per vine with the treatment targeting the rooting area of the vines. Ideally Confidor should be applied prior to a rain event, but if rain does not occur, the application of two litres of water over the treated area is recommended to ensure Confidor is moved into the soil and the roots of the vines. Marc notes: "Ideally apply the Confidor to bare soil and ensure any flowering weeds are removed prior to the application. "Confidor is ideal to incorporate into virus control programmes with Movento® 100SC. The autumn application of Confidor will reduce overwintering mealybug populations and pre-flower spring applications of Grape Mealybug Trial 2008/09 Movento 100SC will target any surviving mealybug crawlers. "In addition, with Confidor and Movento being from separate chemical groups with different modes of action, this programme provides ideal resistance management." Confidor is only suitable for use in managed MRL programmes and should not be used by growers targeting nil-detectable residues.

Fruitfed Supplies sources Ecogrow products directly from the company's Sri Lankan manufacturing sites. The advantages of cocopeat as a growing medium for a wide range of hydroponic and glasshouse crops are well-known – it is 100% natural, renewable and recyclable, provides good buffering capacity and air porosity for root health, and offers very good wettability and water-holding properties "With Ecogrow, we have found the high grade cocopeat that New Zealand growers can depend upon to do the job," Craig says. "Our strengthening relationship with Ecogrow, via our Asia Pacific region manager Martin Carneil, offers a number of benefits, one being the flexibility to request specific slab configurations. Say if you want the holes on the edge of the bag, or specific hole placement across the top and you're ordering sufficient quantity, they'll make a batch to your specifications with the Ecogrow cocopeat fibre grade of your choice." The key for the New Zealand market has been finding a regular source of supply of consistent, high quality cocopeat. "The consistent quality of the Ecogrow cocopeat is a key factor in its continuing use in our facility." And that, says Fruitfed Supplies' Kumeu-based area sales manager Craig Lamb, is where Le Comptoir Roussillonnais and their Ecogrow brand of cocopeat comes in. "While the manufacturing process of cocopeat is quite straightforward – taking the coir fibre from around the harvested coconuts, drying it thoroughly, grading and compressing it – it is important to the quality of the finished cocopeat that high processing standards are maintained for each and every batch," says Craig. Le Comptoir Roussillonnais is a French grower co-operative which established production facilities in Sri Lanka to ensure they could get reliable supply of quality cocopeat products for their growing operations. Developed by growers for growers, their cocopeat offers significant advantages over competitive products due to their understanding of the quality and performance requirements. The success of Ecogrow cocopeat has seen the business grow steadily over the past 2 FACTS NEWSLETTER | MARCH 2015 Over the past three seasons, many container loads of Ecogrow have been utilised by growers around the country. "While bigger growers usually order their required slab configuration in bulk, we also hold stock of easy-fill bags which are ideal for smaller tomato and capsicum operations. You can also buy big blocks of Ecogrow cocopeat which you then crush and fill the containers of your choice, say, for a longer term crop like gerbaras." One of the country's largest capsicum growing facilities, Southern Paprika Ltd, has used Ecogrow cocopeat slabs from Fruitfed for several crop changes. Production manager Stuart Attwood says: "The consistent quality of the Ecogrow cocopeat is a key factor in its continuing use in our facility. This consistency means we can feel confident about the product's performance and ability to deliver results." Craig adds: "Another bonus of Ecogrow cocopeat is that it's organic and recyclable. As many growers seek to reduce waste while maintaining productivity, the ability to be able to spread the used cocopeat onto paddocks or recycle it into a high demand potting mix ensures additional value from the original outlay." For more information about Ecogrow cocopeat, which is only available from Fruitfed Supplies, please speak with your local horticultural sales representative. Note: Le Comptoir Roussillonnais markets product under the BioGrow brand in some international markets. Ecogrow is the brand marketed in New Zealand. Ecogrow cocopeat is a proven growing substrate for tomatoes, capsicums, cucumbers, orchids and seedlings. Fruitfed News Fruitfed now offers AEB's leading product range The Fruitfed Supplies winery team has added the extensive array of winemaking products manufactured by multinational biotechnology company AEB Group to their portfolio. With 15 years of experience offering winemaking supplies to wineries around the country, the Fruitfed Supplies winery team is one of the most knowledgeable in the country. So when Marlborough-based winery representative Aaron Thompson, himself an experienced winemaker, identified a few key ingredients that the winery team could offer but currently didn't, he researched who would be the best supplier. This led to a new and significant distribution agreement between AEB Oceania and Fruitfed for the New Zealand market. winery products across the country. The AEB product range is well-proven with Australian winemakers for at least eight seasons and, also important is the fact that AEB technical support is readily available over the harvest period. "With new technologies being utilised in New Zealand wineries, the onus is on the Fruitfed team to ensure we have products such as winery hardware, fining agents, enzymes, yeast and malolactic bacteria required by our customers. We believe AEB's products will complement the range we already offer." Having met with AEB Group Oceania's Melbourne-based general manager Vince Giarizzio, Aaron says the AEB team's breadth and depth of knowledge comes from the 50-plus years that AEB Group has supplied the beverage and food industries with oenology, brewery and sanitation ingredients. "AEB has its own research and development laboratories at each of the six production facilities and employs over 300 staff, including personnel dedicated to technical support, and sales. "We're very pleased to work with a company like AEB group which is a leader in specialty products for the wine industry offering advanced and specific treatment techniques, backed by technical research and exclusive formulations." Aaron says: "Although the current portfolio is comprehensive, there are key ingredients that we didn't offer.

With its 570 gram active glyphosate formulation, Roundup Ultra Max delivers great weed control with fewer drums required. It features a high load, low viscosity and low foam formulation. fruit orchards of all kinds, vineyards, market gardens and forestry. "Please note the recommendation when using Roundup Ultra Max near apples, pears, stonefruit, kiwifruit or grapevines, it should be applied as a directed or shielded spray, or with wiper equipment." For long term control of annual weeds, Roundup Ultra Max can be tank-mixed with a suitable residual herbicide. Key usage recommendations • Do not apply near unprotected trees less than three years old. • Take great care to avoid spray or spray drift which could come into contact with any part of stonefruit trees, green bark, suckers, buds, foliage or fruit of other trees. • When using a weed wiper, avoid contact with any part of the tree. Dom Bolton, Sinochem Roundup marketing manager, says Roundup Ultra Max has a vast range of tank mix options and compatibilities which provides the flexibility to control a broad spectrum of weeds in one pass. • Glyphosate is rapidly absorbed and deactivated by soil particles, making it suitable for use prior to sowing crops. In the same way the soil binds to Roundup Ultra Max, weed foliage coated in copper or calcium based compounds may also reduce the activity of Roundup Ultra Max. "With the highest loading Roundup formulation on the market, Ultra Max combined with a unique surfactant system makes this formulation the most powerful Roundup liquid knockdown," Dom says. • When using Roundup Ultra Max in market gardens, apply before or after seeding, prior to crop emergence. Roundup Ultra Max can also be applied prior to transplanting or as a post-harvest clean-up for longer term control of seedling weeds. "The unique surfactant system ensures rapid uptake by the weed, delivering faster translocation to the roots, leading to faster brown-out. When an approved penetrant is added, the period between application and the product being rainfast may be reduced to as little as 30 minutes. Roundup Ultra Max is now available in a new green, twin-cap 18-litre drum for easy pouring, with no glugging. It's also available in green 100-litre packs with twin caps, and 1000-litre IBCs. Please consult the product label before using Roundup Ultra Max and, where required, seek professional advice.

Learning on offer from Croplands A delegation of Fruitfed Supplies personnel headed to South Australia late last month to visit a number of growers using the latest Croplands spray equipment. With two days of training at the Croplands' factory near Adelaide plus an array of grower visits, Kerikeri area sales manager Mark Robinson, North Island regional manager Roger Pierce, machinery product manager Les Rackley and three Fruitfed horticultural sales representatives from Hastings – Vaughan Redshaw, Gary Speers and Richard Griffiths – enjoyed many 4 FACTS NEWSLETTER | MARCH 2015 opportunities to fine-tune their knowledge of the Croplands product range. "Croplands invited our Fruitfed team to join them in Australia to acknowledge and thank them for their support of Croplands sprayers," says Roger. "Our team returned the favour to Croplands with each person delivering a 15 minute presentation on their region, areas of speciality and any issues that their growers felt needed addressing in future model enhancements." A follow-up story and images will appear in Facts next month. Product Updates Grower values Du-Wett products As kiwifruit harvest approaches, Katikati grower Stephen Kenna will again be utilising Du-Wett® products to maximise pack-out and crop returns. Daniel Findon, northern regional manager for Etec Crop Solutions Ltd, says he was delighted to receive the following unsolicited comments about Du-Wett super-spreader and Du-Wett Stainless from Stephen Kenna. Stephen writes: "I am contacting you to pass on my experience with Du-Wett during the 2014 season with my kiwifruit crop. "Du-Wett has been an excellent product to use throughout the season to aid coverage with lower water rates. "Du-Wett Stainless aided my clean-up product, producing a better coverage all over the fruit at a lower water rate, and giving me a better pack-out. This is money in the bank for me along with the time saved using Du-Wett Stainless! "During picking, wet mornings are common, delaying the start time for pickers and resulting in frustrations the whole way to the pack house. This was improved with an early morning water drop spray of DuWett at 1 litre per 500 litres water per ha. "Picking got going earlier with a dry crop as compared with the next block left unsprayed! Again, more production for the pickers that day and no time delay for getting crop off when it's ready. "Result: money in the bank for the grower! Thanks for great product/s." Key points about Du-Wett Stainless use: • Unlike other spreaders/adjuvants, DuWett Stainless is not degraded by acidbased stain removers. • Du-Wett Stainless and the preferred stain removal product can be applied at the much lower water rate of 500 to 1,000 litres per hectare, meaning coverage of an area 3-6 times larger with a single tank. Not for use in high volume dilute. • Du-Wett Stainless has a patented use to reduce the surface tension of the spray droplet so it effectively covers the skin surface, not just wetting the ends of fruit hairs. • Overall cost is similar to high water volume applications due to using less stain remover and fewer personnel and machinery hours. • Fruit will be dry in almost half the normal time. • For heavily stained blocks consider a double pass application at 500 litres ha each way. • Ensure sprayer is calibrated accurately to suit its capabilities. Katikati grower Stephen Kenna knows Du-Wett and Du-Wett Stainless help improve his profitability MARCH 2015 | FACTS NEWSLETTER 5 Tech-Know Tips Avocado Reminders for March: »Crop monitoring trends consistently show six-spotted mite populations slowly increasing as we move through autumn and into winter, particularly in warmer growing regions. While summer flush is still soft, consider an application of Mit é mec®, which offers control of all lifecycle stages including eggs. »Prodigy, Altacor and Proclaim are all highlyeffective options for leaf roller control should thresholds be exceeded. Be aware of PHI requirements to various markets. »Thrips often reach damaging levels during the late summer/autumn period and can cause scarring damage if left uncontrolled. If thrips are an issue, consider an application of Calypso™. Research consistently shows a distinct benefit of two applications versus one, particularly under high pressure situations. »Coverage is essential for achieving excellent pest and disease control. Much research has Citrus Reminders for March: »Glomerella is capable of colonising peduncles left behind after hand-thinning. This infection can then spread to developing fruit. It is recommended to apply a fungicide cover soon after thinning. »Leaf sampling should be carried out during February or March to plan your fertiliser strategy for the coming season. At this time, Yara Citrac may also be useful as a foliar spray applied to autumn flush. »Calcium plays a crucial role in determining the structural rigidity of plant cell walls. Regular applications of a foliar calcium product such as Stopit may therefore assist to improve pack-out and reduce rind disorders. Kiwifruit Reminders for March: »Continue foliar applications of Croplift K during March (7 day PHI). Croplift K contains close to 30% K, and is specifically designed for in-season use. Potassium is an important component of fruit growth and maturation, and has been linked to crucial processes such as dry matter accumulation. »In Hayward only, late season control of scale is now limited to mineral oil (D-C-Tron® Plus Organic). Scale sprays at this stage of the season must be in response to monitoring, and label directions on application must be followed particularly closely. Be aware of precautionary restrictions in place around the use of copper fungicides in close proximity to oil. »Flights of leaf-roller can continue to invade orchards through summer. Monitor regularly, 6 FACTS NEWSLETTER | MARCH 2015 been done on the benefits of low water volume applications with the advanced super-spreader Du-Wett®, and should be a consideration this season on your orchard. »Support general tree health and summer winter. Research has shown that understanding and working with the growth stages of the tree is crucial for obtaining optimum control, while also ensuring crop safety. Avocado tree infected with Phytophthora flush while fruitlets are sizing with regular applications of fertilizer such as Fruitfed Supplies Avocado Mix. Fertigation options are also available. Trunk injections with phosphorous acid solution remain the most effective way to treat and prevent Phytophthora infection, one of the most economically important diseases for avocado production in New Zealand and worldwide. Phosphorous acid-based products such as Agri-Fos® 600 are very effective, owing to the highly systemic nature of phosphonate ions that are released following treatment. As well as having direct fungicidal activity, Agri-Fos also helps to stimulate the plants natural defence mechanisms, adding another dimension to disease control. There are two periods in the year when trees are traditionally treated; late-summer/early autumn, and late- »To help strengthen the plant and improve disease resistance, consider an autumn application of Agri-Fos® 600. Natural enemies play a critical role in horticultural crops, keeping many pests at non-damaging levels without the use of insecticides. Lacewing larvae, Stethorus and steel-blue ladybirds, for example, are very effective predators of citrus red mite. Some harsher compounds used to control Kelly's citrus thrips destroy natural enemies such as these. With reduced predation, this can indirectly induce a citrus red mite problem, so it is beneficial to use softer chemistry where possible. Two new insecticide options have recently been registered into citrus; Movento® 100SC (KCT only) and Sparta™. Movento also has a registration for armoured scale, and is known to have activity on other key pests as and if thresholds are exceeded, apply an insecticide such as Proclaim® (42 day PHI) or Delfin® WG (2 day PHI). »Leaf samples taken now will help to determine the effectiveness of the nutrition programme adopted on each block and will also help plan the coming season's requirements. Those orchards targeting 'early start' may soon want to consider stain removal just prior to harvest. Very little staining needs to be present to economically justify the use of stain-removal products such as KiwiLustre®. Consider applying in reduced water volumes with the addition of Du-Wett Stainless®, super-spreader technology which increases coverage with reduced spray volumes, and aids in improving drying time. Once harvest is completed, it is recommended to apply a protective spray such as Kocide Opti or Tri-Base Blue to protect fruit scars against Psa infection, particularly if rain is forecast. Spray application well, while having minimal effect on beneficial insects. Sparta is useful at this time of year as it also controls greenhouse thrips. The addition of a surfactant is essential for Sparta. If citrus red mite does make an appearance during summer-early autumn, Mit é mec is the product of choice for CRM control. This novel miticide controls all life stages, including eggs. Steel-blue ladybird studies have shown the benefit of using Du-Wett when attempting to cover inherently difficult surfaces such as fruit stalks and leaf scars. Water stain on Hayward Tech-Know Tips Pipfruit Reminders for March: »Continue with regular calcium applications. Avoid spraying under hot, dry conditions or under slow drying conditions, as fruit and foliar injury can occur. Add a wetting agent if applied alone. In this pre-harvest phase, when numerous calcium applications have been made, select a safe, buffered calcium formulation, e.g. Stopit. »Monitor traps for leaf rollers and if thresholds are exceeded, apply an appropriate insecticide depending on variety, pre-harvest interval and market destination. »Monitor for codling moth. Trap activity and maintenance records are essential for audit purposes. Apply an appropriate insecticide if thresholds are exceeded. »Application of the plant growth regulator Retain 28 days prior to harvest on selected Summerfruit Reminders for March: » For later summerfruit varieties, brown rot infection still presents a significant risk in the weeks leading into harvest. If wet weather occurs during this period, spores are produced abundantly on twig cankers and may infect ripening fruit. Apply a suitable fungicide, e.g. Folicur® WG, prior to rainfall events. » Monitor blocks for trees expressing silver leaf symptoms and mark affected trees for treatment. The first two important steps in managing this disease are to prune out and burn infected wood and to protect pruning cuts with a suitable wound dressing. » If a leaf sample collection has not been taken during February it should be carried out in March in order to determine the nutrient status of trees in your block(s). This information will Wine Grapes Reminders for March: »As sugar levels rise in berries, bunches become increasingly susceptible to Botrytis. Maintain a tight fungicide cover through until harvest, applying appropriate products, such as Serenade® Max, in anticipation of wet weather events. »Regular magnesium sprays, e.g. HydroMag, leading into harvest help maintain good vine leaf condition, enhance berry ripening and optimise the carbohydrate loading of vines in the leaf-fall period. »If bird damage is a perennial problem on your block, exclusion netting is the staple defence method. Care must be taken to seal the nets at the bottom and ends as starlings, in particular, readily exploit any gaps. There are also various blocks can assist harvest management. Please read the new Retain and Freeway label recommendations which now specifically state the use rate of Freeway adjuvant for applications to 'Gala, Royal Gala, Jazz, Envy and related varieties (includes all rosses and sports)' is 50 ml/100 l in the spray tank. If weather conditions are conducive to black spot infection shortly before harvest, further infection of fruit may take place. Late infections cannot always be detected during packing and black spot lesions may develop during storage. Pepper spot is the late-season (or post-harvest) expression of black spot symptoms on fruit (see image) that results from a conidial infection occurring late in the growing season. As fruit ripen, they become increasingly susceptible to black spot. If rain is forecast, ensure a fungicide cover is applied to protect fruit leading into and through harvest. near harvest. Late season black spot trials show Captan (e.g. Fruitfed Captan® 80WG) performs well in this late-season use pattern. Our research also demonstrates useful activity from wettable sulphur formulations, as routinely used on organic production blocks. However Captan offers superior black spot, summer rot and European canker efficacy, so in conventional blocks it should be used in preference to sulphur, especially when high rainfall conditions are forecast. Late season pepper spot infection on apples Fruitfed Technical research demonstrates the efficacy of Captan as a black spot control option aid in making prudent fertiliser decisions over the coming months. Bacterial blast is caused by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae and affects all stone fruit varieties, though apricot and cherry are most predisposed. It causes limb and sometimes tree death via cankers and girdling the tree's framework. Production losses may also occur from extensive spotting on fruit. During leaf-fall, rain may wash inoculum from fruit and leaf spots into leaf scars where they multiply quickly. Bacteria then spread through the phloem and cambium killing internal plant tissues. If bacterial blast has been evident in your blocks, treat trees with copper over the leaf-fall period to protect leaf scars from developing new infections and thereby facilitating disease spread. Copper products, such as Kocide® Opti™, Blue Shield® or Tri-Base Blue should be applied during leaf-fall and before rain events. Use a high volume water visual and audio scaring devices on the market and they may have a useful supplementary benefit. With the move toward a nil residue approach to Botrytis control in New Zealand viticulture, biofungicides have found a natural fit in conventional production systems at the end of the season. Over the course of the last 13 years Fruitfed Technical has conducted numerous late-season Botrytis trials to screen the efficacy of various biofungicides. In particular, Serenade Max has consistently performed well, as its QST 173 strain of B. subtilis has a number of novel modes of action: inhibiting attachment of the pathogen by producing a zone of inhibition, preventing pathogen spore germination, and disrupting germ tube and mycelium growth. Serenade Max also induces systemic acquired resistance (SAR) to activate the plant's natural defence system. Our experience shows these rate to ensure good coverage is achieved on leaf scars and reapply covers after significant rainfall. During the winter months, prune out and destroy all blast-infected wood. Cherry tree infected with bacterial blast products perform best when integrated into a robust Botrytis spray programme and applied with an appropriate adjuvant such as Du-Wett or Du-Wett Weathermaster, depending on anticipated weather conditions. Botrytis bunch rot MARCH 2015 | FACTS NEWSLETTER 7 Product Updates Actigard and post-harvest Psa-V management Autumn is a high-risk period for Psa-V in kiwifruit orchards with cooler and wetter weather favouring infection, and that's where the plant activator Actigard® has a key role. Paul Hassan, Syngenta's solutions development lead for New Zealand, asks: "Did you know around 300,000 to 500,000 fruit stalk scars per hectare are created at harvest? And about 2.5 million leaf scars per hectare are created during leaf-fall. Also, the late flush growth and wounds created by frost and storms combine to create an abundance of possible entry points for Psa-V infection post-harvest, yet Psa-V symptoms may not be expressed visually until the following spring." In offshore trials, foliar application of Actigard to Hayward at leaf-fall has been shown to reduce the level of Psa-V symptoms in the subsequent spring. New Zealand trials have demonstrated a similar effect on Gold3 vines. Paul says: "Actigard is a 'plant activator' with a unique mode of action, stimulating the natural self-defence system of plants via a response known as systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Foliar application of Actigard is now fully approved for kiwifruit (pre-flower and post-harvest) to help protect against Psa-V infection. "For the recommended post-harvest protectant sprays which help protect leaves, fruit stalks and leaf scars from Psa-V infection, it's good to know that Actigard and copper can be applied together over this period, providing a dual mode of action against Psa-V." Paul notes: "Because it takes 4-7 days for Actigard to fully activate the plant, the addition of copper is recommended where high risk weather is forecasted within seven days. Remember, in terms of application timing, that leaves need to be actively photosynthesising for Actigard to be effective, and therefore it is likely to be less effective when leaf-fall or senescence has commenced." For more information on the use of Actigard post-harvest, contact your local Fruitfed Supplies horticultural sales representative. Actigard® is the registered trademark of a Syngenta Group Company. Key recommendations: • The first post-harvest application of Actigard (plus copper) should be made as soon as practical after harvest. "For the recommended post-harvest protectant sprays which help protect leaves, fruit stalks and leaf scars from Psa-V infection, it's good to know that Actigard and copper can be applied together over this period, providing a dual mode of action against Psa-V." Applying Actigard post-harvest can help reduce Psa-V infection in the spring • Take care to avoid drift onto unharvested areas of the orchard or neighbouring orchards to avoid the risk of residues on fruit. • Spray tanks must also be cleaned thoroughly after using Actigard before other products are sprayed on unharvested vines. • A rate of 200 g/ha of Actigard is required as a dilute spray, ensuring good coverage of leaves and fruit stalk scars. • A second Actigard can be applied 21 days later if leaves are still green, in good condition and able to absorb Actigard's systemic active ingredient. • A maximum of four applications of Actigard are allowed in one season (harvest to harvest).

I am very proud to be the sitting Vice President of this wonderful organization. It is far more than a Charity to me and for me because of the fact that we are involved, hands on and in my opinion, effective in bringing huge smiles to children who suffer the simplest of injuries that might require hospitialization, to the most serious. We interact with the Nurses, ChildLife Specialists, Staff and the kids and their families and I actually get to witness the impact of our donor's gifts, be they monetary or an actual gift. One day I met this amazing young man named Chip Donahue, the founder of Little Smiles who did a presentation at a club I was a member of. I was so intrigued that I couldnt wait to see what I could do to help. That turned into meeting some outstanding Nurses, Child Life Specialists and kids that maybe wouldnt have had such a great day were it not for the generosity of others. I met and got to know the families of these children, witness their struggles and had them share their concerns with me. I got to see true courage in children who through no fault of their own were born with dibiliating illness like Cancer. I have seen the smiles and shared them. I have seen the tears and shed them. But above all else, no matter what the outcomes were, I have seen the smiles and enjoyed them. I would not trade the experiences I have had as a friend of Little Smiles, a member of the Board of Directors and now the VP, for anything. I share my passion with some truly wonderful and giving people who give freely of their time and resources to just make a child smile. The greatest gift of all. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share this and for those of you who took the time to read it, I thank you more because of you and your gracious hearts, I know that we will create more smiles for more children.
It is great to see both a child and a nurse smile.
A few years ago I went to Palms West Hospital for a Nerf Gun Fight. We entered a small room that had beds with little kids all hooked up to machines, someone called it the "Chemo Room." We carried in a couple boxes of big Nerf guns, darts and goggles. The kids too weak to walk sat up in bed and others got to "unplug" and run around. The next thing I knew the room was full of screaming and laughing and the air was full of Nerf Darts! I don't know who had more fun, me or those kids. I've been on the Board of Directors for Little Smiles since that day!
As a Board member, to see the direct impact that this charity has on children, leaves me in tears each and every time. Before serving as a Board member, my son was touched by this organization when he was hospitalized for an extended period.
Before I knew it, several Board members came by to visit him and to make sure his stay was comfortable, brought in some of his favorite foods. They even brought in huge trays of food for all the children staying in the hospital.
But they didn't stop there! As with most children staying in the hospital, they become bored. So an Xbox gaming system with all the trimmings and several games was delivered to him. Talk about putting a smile on a child's face!
In closing, the best charity with the most humble volunteers and Board members to serve with.

Lewis, Tuel jockey for Bills' backup QB spot
PITTSFORD – Thad Lewis thinks he has upgraded his play in the past week.
Locked in a tight battle with Jeff Tuel for the Buffalo Bills' No. 2 quarterback job, Lewis knows the time to respond is now.
"I think I've gotten better," Lewis said after Sunday's practice at St. John Fisher College. "At the beginning, I thought I was kind of slow, kind of sluggish. But I've picked it up. I actually picked it up this week in the game. So now it's just to continue to get better every time you get the opportunity to step on the field."
Neither Tuel nor Lewis has "lit it up" so far this training camp, raising concerns about the Bills' security at quarterback behind starter EJ Manuel.
It appears Tuel has a slight edge on Lewis, based on the fact Tuel served as the No. 2 for the exhibition opener against the New York Giants. Lewis took his turn as No. 2 in Friday's game at Carolina.
In Sunday's practice, Tuel was back in the No. 2 spot.
"That's a battle that's open," said coach Doug Marrone. "It's been up and down. I don't think you can say that someone has really gone ahead of everyone. It's kind of been back and forth, so we're just going to keep looking at the situation."
Lewis, who went 2-3 as a starter in relief of Manuel last season, says he embraces the challenge.
"It's awesome," he said. "That's how you better this team. If there's no competition, guys tend to get complacent. Your team is only as good as your backups. If we're able to push each other into becoming the best players we can become, the team will be better if the backups can step in and we don't miss a beat."
Both Lewis and Tuel are NFL underdogs, entering the league as undrafted free agents. Lewis spent most of his first three years on NFL practice squads. He played reasonably well last year, given the fact he didn't even join the Bills' roster until Aug. 25. Tuel, starting his second season, lost his only start, against Kansas City, last season.
Given his humble NFL beginnings, Lewis was not about to take offense to Tuel jumping ahead of him for the exhibition opener.
"At the end of the day, you just want a chance to play," he said. "When I look at my situation, man, and where I've come from. I've never gotten to play as much as I've played so far. So just getting in the game and getting the opportunity is key. It doesn't matter who you go out with, you try to make the guys around you better. That's what the quarterback is supposed to do."
Lewis graduated in 3½ years from Duke University and picked up the offense quickly last season. He said it's a lot easier in his second year.
"You're swimming," he said of his first few starts last year. "My comfort is way up, way up. It's 10 times easier. I can honestly say the last two games I played in, it was a lot better than the first three."
Lewis does not have classic size, at 6-foot, œ-inches. He has not shown great accuracy in camp this summer.
One of his best attributes is he's a gamer. He showed tremendous toughness in his five starts last year, especially in taking some wicked hits at New Orleans. He doesn't flinch under pressure in the pocket.
In the exhibition win at Carolina on Friday, Lewis made a nice step-up in the pocket, under duress, to deliver an 11-yard pass to Chris Hogan. It got the Bills in range to kick a field goal to end the half.
"Sometimes you've just got to go out there and be a player and make plays," Lewis said of the Hogan completion. "That's what this position's all about. That's what you have to show in the preseason."
Lewis also had a sharp slant pass to Marquise Goodwin for an 18-yard gain. It was a proper read of the defense by the QB.
"In the NFL you get the ball to your playmakers," Lewis said. "They make plays for you. That's the whole key. When they stack the box, you don't want your running back running his head into a bunch of guys. Too many guys in the box, take the guy on the outside."
For the game, Lewis was 6 of 11 for 63 yards.
Through two exhibitions, Lewis is 16 of 27 for 150 yards with one interception. Tuel is 16 of 22 for 98 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Atheism vs Theism: A discussion between Dave and Eric

Eric, nice opening and I appreciate you laying out where you are as a theist.
Personally I'm sad you accept evolution and the age of the earth as it makes my job much more difficult. In essence where we diverge in our belief systems is more or less where the spark came from that started the universe and life on this speck of dust. That's a far more difficult discussion as you have pointed out. Strict young earth creationists can be taken apart with evidence so easily its not even a challenge. This will be more difficult and interesting. Kudos to you for being already half way to being a free thinker.
I'll give you my background as a theist. I was as most of my baby boomer era brought up christian (Presbyterian) with relatively devote parents. Mom sang in the choir dad was a deacon in the church. I have a pin from the church that was given out for in Sunday School for consecutive attendance. Its has 13 bars to it and a dangling star indicating I taught as well as attended every Sunday for 13+ years.
Probably around the time I was 8 or 9 I had my first doubts. It was the Noah story. I couldn't wrap my brain around the 20-30 million creatures that needed to be on board. It was the first chink in my god googles.
I decided to read the entire bible so that maybe I could understand my misgivings at about 10. I couldn't understand why so many seemed to completely accept what was told to them and i did not. I was afraid I was the only person alive that had any doubt what-so-ever as no one ever expressed anything other than I wish we could play ball instead of going to church.
At about 12 my mother kinda went off the deep end and started getting me to read books like the" Cross and the Switchblade" and other books. She became a bit of a holier than tho jesus freak. I decided I needed to do this as well to keep her happy. I was born again at a jesus freak camp in Beatrice NE at some church college. I was certain I had felt the hand of god on my heart.
So I doubled down, well maybe tripled down at this point, because The doubts kept coming. Why were they so many passages that were undeniably contradictory? Contradictory on virtually the same page. So I took it upon myself to re-read it again. Front to back. I couldn't believe my expanded reading of the book at this point and when I was done I laid it down and was no longer a believer. My faith was shattered into a million pieces. I tried one last time to read it cover to cover and found it comical and laughed out loud frequently that I had ever believed such things.
After that decades went by as I became a big shot (at least in my own mind) and devoted myself to business enterprises.
Religion became meaningless to me. Didn't care about it at all and had no real debates about other than one humorous incident with a full on believer from Metro vineyard. At one point I stopped my car on the highway in Iowa during a lightning storm, got out climbed up on the roof of the car with arms outstretched, cursed god, called him a pussy, dared him to strike me dead, got back in the car and finished driving to Minnesota.
Then a few years ago I began to feel the creep of religion pushing science and social issues in ways I felt were morally unjustified. I began to speak out. I had talked to plenty of friends and acquaintances over the years when the subject came up about the silliness and folly of religion. It was honestly so easy to deconvert them it was silly. This was mostly in the 70s and 80s when religion was at a low ebb.
Now it appeared religion, much like Sauron, was rising again. This time with even newer arguments and agendas. It appeared that religion, while I was paying no attention had reconstituted itself in a even more malevolent way.
Thanks, Trump for the civics lesson. We are learning so much about impeachment, the 25th Amendment, order of succession, nepotism, separation of powers, 1st Amendment, obstruction of justice, the emoluments clause, Logan Act, conflicts of interest, collusion, sanctions, oligarchs, money laundering and so much more.

This month, we focus on the ever-popular UK Equity Income space, which houses several of the best-known and best-performing funds and managers available to Britain's investors.
UK Equity Income has long been a popular sector for local investors, housing many of the industry's heavyweight managers and often dominating sales.
This has meant several funds becoming huge in the sector – admittedly including one of our picks below – so it is worth perusing lesser-known offerings in the ever-important hunt for income.
Saracen UK Income
Saracen UK Income fund manager Scott McKenzie previously ran income funds at Aviva Investors and Martin Currie. He left Martin Currie in 2009 and seemed to disappear from the industry until April last year, when he was named lead manager on this new launch for Saracen, the Edinburgh-based independent investment boutique.
This is a concentrated portfolio of best ideas, typically 30 to 45 holdings, with a stock picking focus and less regard for the macro environment.
The portfolio is less orientated towards larger stocks, with around 65 per cent in mid and small caps, and stocks are split into two categories – high yield and dividend growers. In performance terms, it is early days for this multi-cap fund and returns since launch are in line with the All-Share.
The fund is a minnow in the sector with around £2m in assets and while the AMC is 0.50 per cent, the current factsheet shows a hefty OCF of 2.29 per cent.
Investec UK Equity Income
There has been criticism that many UK Equity Income funds are similar in terms of stock and sector positions. In a bid to diversify, investors have looked globally for other high-yielding markets as well as into UK mid and small caps.
Looking at Investec UK Equity Income, I struggle to see an immediate USP for a fund seemingly designed to go head-to-head with the heavyweights. It launched in 2015 and is run by Blake Hutchins, who moved from managing similar mandates at Threadneedle to join head Simon Brazier. Investec has established a reputation in UK equities and I would suggest this launch fills a gap in its range. Returns since launch have been well ahead of the All-Share but behind the peer group. Performance against the sector's heavyweights should not be judged over a year but will be necessary long term to win market share. Fund-raising so far has been slow, with assets just over £16m at the end of May.
CF Woodford Equity Income
Very few funds can whistle straight through the waiting room without even taking a seat but Woodford Equity Income is one such offering.
Manager Neil Woodford has built a broad and deep following over three decades. His departure from Invesco Perpetual allowed him to build a firm aligned to his vision and beliefs. Woodford has launched two funds so far, with the closed-ended Patient Capital Trust focusing on less liquid issues. His open-ended fund is founded on his long-term reputation in the income space and based on a successful formula of active management and engagement with companies.
Woodford looks for companies with sustainable growth prospects and there are no passengers in terms of holdings. A focus on valuation and the long term supports his core belief that investors expect a positive return. Investors buying into the fund from launch have seen a 19.1 per cent rise in the unit price versus 0.6 per cent in the FTSE All-Share.

Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
A little over a week ago, my daughter came to me looking for chocolate chip cookies, which we had none. Where the sudden craving for chocolate chip cookies came from, I don't really know. My pantry
was is full of snacks, you know, the healthy kind – Wheat Thins, whole grain crackers, granola bars. I could have also easily made her a sandwich. The snack choices I offered were received with a, "No, thank you." She also asked why we didn't have the cookies she's craving, as if every household is expected to have them. *sigh* Fine, I decided to bake some! It was a decision that was received with a huge smile and a matching, "You're the best mom ever!"
Well, it was about time I baked some cookies. I can't even remember the last time I made some! After a quick survey of my baking inventory, I realized I had everything I needed to make some Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. That should complete my Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Trio, the first two members being the cake and the frosting. *wink*
Here's the recipe…
2-1/4 C all-purpose flour
1/3 C (Hershey's) cocoa
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 C (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 C granulated sugar
3/4 C packed light brown sugar
1 t vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 C Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips or Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 C chopped nuts (optional)
1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl on medium speed of mixer until creamy. Add eggs; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in chocolate chips. Add nuts, if desired. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. About 5 dozen cookies.
I dropped rounded TABLESPOONs of cookie batter onto the baking sheet instead of rounded teaspoons. My recipe yield was 3 dozens, still a good number.
We loved how the cookies were just the right chocolatey sweetness. They paired very well with either coffee or tea. These would make for very nice treats to bring to parties, picnics or even camping (just be sure to eat them in moderation to avoid rv travel emergency, if you get my drift. *wink*) I hope to try other cookie recipes in the next few weeks. *cross fingers*
Cheers, y'all! Mabuhay!
One Response to "Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies"
[…] After a very very long time, I baked some cookies a little over a week ago: Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. I got the recipe from my favorite Hershey's recipe book. My daughter had a craving for chocolate chip cookies and because I was too lazy to go to the the store to buy some, I decided to just take matters into my own hands and just bake the cookies myself. You can find the recipe HERE. […]

LONDON (Reuters) - Roll returns rather than spot price movements have been a much more significant source of profits and losses for commodity investors over almost any time horizon.
Yet most investors still formulate their strategy in terms of outright price moves rather than the spreads, missing out on the most important source of long-term performance.
Strategies with the most explicit focus on roll returns, such as the SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Index offered by U.S. Commodity Funds, which had $432 million invested at the end of June, account for a tiny fraction of the $50 billion invested in all commodity-focused mutual funds or the nearly $200 billion invested in indexing strategies as a whole.
Over the 10-30 year horizons that most interest pension funds, roll returns may be the only sustainable source of returns from commodities.
But given the theoretical and empirical importance of roll returns, it is surprising how few index products have been designed specifically to maximize them.
In principle, it should be possible to offer investors a product which targeted roll returns specifically and is neutral to spot prices, by investing exclusively in spreads, with the aim of capturing scarcity premiums in the market while avoiding exposure to cyclical variations in commodity prices.
Most of physical trading houses already claim to operate this way (with positions in the spreads rather than the outright directional plays). But as investors question whether the commodity super-cycle has peaked or plateaued, it would make sense for other investors to contemplate the same strategy.
By now most investors are aware that it is not possible to achieve returns based on the spot price of WTI or a basket of commodities.
But few investors appreciate just how significant roll returns are. In practice, rolls dominate all other sources of performance over the medium and long term.
Charts 1 and 2 show spot prices and actual returns to investors from a long position in WTI futures or a diversified basket such as the Standard and Poor's Goldman Sachs Light Energy Index. In both cases, once roll profits and losses are taken into account, actual returns diverge sharply from the spot price.
Researchers have always emphasized the central importance of rolls. In the 1920s and 1930s, John Maynard Keynes highlighted the profits investors could reap from the "normal backwardation" in commodity futures.
More recently, Gary Gorton and Geert Rouwenhorst explored the "risk premium" commodity investors would have received between 1959 and 2004 from an equal-weighted long position in a basket of commodity futures, largely irrespective of spot prices, in their famous paper on "Facts and Fantasies in Commodity Futures".
Curiously, though, most commodity indices have been constructed with little reference to roll returns. The most popular Standard and Poor's Goldman Sachs Commodity Index and Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index were both constructed on a production-weighted basis with modifications for liquidity and diversification.
As a result of the disappointing investment performance of both indices, especially the GSCI, since 2005, many banks are now marketing second and third-generation variants which seek to minimize roll losses and maximize roll gains.
But in their marketing materials, and method for selecting futures for inclusion, most indices continue to emphasize the potential for spot price appreciation. Roll returns are a distinctly second-order consideration.
Only the SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Index (SDCI) focuses on selecting commodity futures primarily on their potential for generating roll returns.
According to its promoters, the SDCI selects 14 futures contracts with an equal-weighting from a potential universe of 27 eligible commodities. In the first stage, the seven commodities exhibiting the greatest backwardation (positive roll return) or least contango (negative roll return) are selected.
From the remaining 20 commodities, seven more are selected based on which show the greatest price momentum over the previous twelve months.
Roll returns are therefore the primary selection criteria for the SDCI.
"The SDCI is based on the notion that commodities with low inventories will tend to outperform commodities with high inventories, and that priced-based measures, such as futures basis and price momentum, can be used to help assess the current state of commodity inventories" SummerHaven argues.
In backtests, the SDCI has outperformed both the basic GSCI and DJUBS indices over the last decade.
Between August 2002 and September 2012, the SDCI provided average annual returns to investors of 18 percent, compared with around 7 percent for the two big benchmarks, according to SummerHaven (here).
Backtests should be handled with care. There is a danger of retrospectively designing the index to maximize past performance, employing a hindsight that is not available to investors.
There is also the danger past returns will be eroded as more investors try to exploit them. Index products which focus on roll returns (either as a primary or secondary consideration) have struggled to outperform in 2012.
Nonetheless, given the dominant part played by roll returns in investor returns, they will have to play an increasing role in index design and investment strategy in future. Maximizing roll returns, rather than spot price appreciation, should be the central preoccupation for investors.

LONDON, July 6 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A popular dating show on British television will for the first time include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) contestants, more than 30 years after it was first broadcast.
The "Blind Date" episode, to air on Saturday to coincide with London's gay pride march, will feature a woman deciding between three potential female dates who are hidden from view.
LGBT rights group Stonewall said it welcomed the decision and hoped to see more television programmes featuring sexually diverse people.
"The show's commitment to inclusion is welcomed by the community, demonstrating just how far society - and LGBT representation in the media - has come," a Stonewall spokesman told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"We hope see even more shows follow Blind Date's example by helping viewers across Britain gain a better understanding of the diversity of the LGBT community," he said.
The popular dating show first aired in 1985 on the ITV network and was hosted by former singer Cilla Black, who died in 2015.
The new series was relaunched on Channel5 last month and is now presented by English entertainer Paul O'Grady.
"We wanted to be inclusive with our contestants and having LGBT representation throughout the series was really important to us from the outset, alongside maintaining the spirit and warmth of the original and much-loved format," a Channel5 spokeswoman said.
In the United States, advocacy group GLAAD said sexual diversity on U.S. television was at an all time high in 2016, with nearly 5 percent of all characters identifying as LGBT.
The group added that some TV characters and storylines still portrayed the LGBT community in a negative or stereotypical way, but noted that television was far ahead of movies in terms of representation.

What's Got Four Legs, Provides Milk, and Is in Your Backyard?
Cow. Just the word alone is worth repeating. Beyond that, cows provide milk, cream, butter, cheese, and meat—if you're into that—not to mention, they're furry and kinda cute. While most people opt for dogs, cats, or fish to keep around the house, Joann Grohman's Keeping a Family Cow may have you reconsidering your options. Why not own a cow?
Originally published in the early 1970s as The Cow Economy, Keeping a Family Cow, Revised and Updated Edition, is the Chelsea Green edition of Grohman's nearly forty-year-old classic that is the go-to book for homesteaders looking to keep a single cow.
"This book combines food philosophy with a practicum of knowledge and experience that Ms. Grohman has acquired in her eighty-five years in and around Jersey cows," writes Jack Lazor of Butterworks Farm in the Foreword. "Joann's book is a field manual for both the experienced and inexperienced alike."
This new edition is already establishing itself as the must-read homesteader book, and has been featured on such popular food and farming websites, such as Civil Eats, as well as The Greenhorns.
In addition, Down East Magazine wrote a great feature – with some fantastic photos – on Joann and her lifelong devotion to keeping a family cow, and it's importance. You can get a peek of the page previews below from Patryce Bake Photography Facebook Page, but for the full slideshow make sure to visit Down East Magazine. Trust us, the photos alone are worth the click.
It includes detailed and extensive information on a variety of useful topics including:
- The health benefits of untreated milk;
- How to milk a cow effectively;
- Details on calving and breeding;
- The importance of hay quality and how to feed your cow properly;
- Fencing and pasture management;
- Treating milk fever and other diseases and disorders; and,
- Making butter, yogurt, and cheese.
"Highly recommended for anyone interested in grass-based farming and nutrient-dense food—not just family cow owners—Keeping a Family Cow will instill great appreciation for the sacred bond between domesticated animal and the human beings who care for them," writes Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation.
Joann is also featured speaker at this year's Weston A. Price conference, going on now in Atlanta. And if you don't already make sure to follow Joann on Facebook here.
Keeping a Family Cow, Revised and Updated Edition: The Complete Guide for Home-Scale, Holistic Dairy Producers is available now and on sale for 35% off until November 22nd.
