Sometimes it's better to leave the comment to the author so let me hand over this posting to Melisser Elliott...
The Vegan Girl's Guide to Life by Melisser Elliott is a book that is not only for vegan girls, but anyone who's interested in a cruelty free lifestyle, with recipes and tips for DIY living.
The book will contain the basic who-what-where-when-why of veganism, but also include tips like what to feed non-vegans, the best vegan beauty products, fun vacation spots, plus an assortment of recipes & crafty projects including Jackfruit "Carnitas" Tacos, Twice Baked Chipotle Sweet Potatoes, Cracked Coriander Seed and Chai Tea-Rubbed Vegan Steak Lo Mein, Double Chocolate Cookies, Purple Cow Cupcakes, DIY Dessert Stands, a Cross Stitch pattern by Stitch'd Ink, and how to make your own produce bags.
Bear comment: I think it's always great to see a new Vegan Lifestyle book and this one looks like it will not only be a fun pick up and read once kinda book. I can see new and old timers dipping into this one. Put down your Mrs Beaton and your Kath Kidston and pick up a new Vegan book to beat all others.

Emerging indie-folk artist Corey Kilgannon has released a new record this month….. seemingly one of protest aiming to ignite conversation on issues in society. As Above, So Below is musically and lyrically crafted with Kilgannon's signature tenderness, but the messages from the songs are far from tender. Kilgannon boldly steps up to the microphone to be blunt about the state of our world today, and what needs to change. Bringing light to harsh topics such as rape, racism, oppression, depression, and many others, Kilgannon's honesty is refreshing…. and is striking a chord with listeners all over the country. Read our interview with Corey below and learn more about As Above, So Below.
Tell us about the album in your own words. What went into the inspiration, creation, and fulfillment of these songs? Why is this album important to you?
The album summarizes several years of deconstructing what I believed about the world, and marks a turning point towards speaking towards things I do believe. Wether that be my own journey with depression, or just kind of the existential pondering about our world, I've come to see things with less duality and more hope. Many of the songs started from exploring consciousness via marijuana/psylocibin/meditation and realizing truly how little we know about the universe. It was also the most fun to make so far, and several friends played enormous roles in bringing the songs to life. I've been very inspired by the music of the 60s, and how directly it could comment on what was going on in the world. We seem to be at a similar moral/intellectual crossroads with so many massive issues we've drawn hard lines on, the album is meaningful to me because I feel like through it I found a way to exist in this world peacefully and wrestle with the questions in a meaningful way.
'As Above, So Below' touches on a lot of topics in society today. If you had to wrap it all up into one underlying message what would it be?
I mean, I think it's simply that "you don't have to think everything that you're told". We are all intimately familiar with how difficult it is to sift through the information we are bombarded with and find truth, but I do believe by making peace with ourselves we can begin to see the world through much clearer and humble lenses.
Your music has a history of touching on difficult subjects and bringing them to light in an intimate, vulnerable way. This album obviously does the same…. which song was the most vulnerable for you as an artist?
The most vulnerable one was definitely "Ashamed". I got engaged last year, and in the process of getting to know my love we've had to have a lot of hard conversations about our pasts, including her experience with sexual assault. It's an ongoing conversation and battle within ourselves to heal from those experiences, but to also acknowledge the depth of the hurt and anger it causes. I think it's the first time I was really able to experience that level of intimacy with someone else's grief, and it truly leveled me. I'm learning so much about forgiveness through it.
What's your favorite song on the album?
That changes all the time but I think I'd say "Fishing Feminist" right now. It just came from such a pure place for me, and recording it was the smoothest of all the songs. It encaptures both the driving pressure I feel to speak out about the issues plaguing our world, but also the peace I've found with allowing it to unfold at its own pace. The hidden track was also one of the most fun nights of recording in memory. It was basically just a little party with a bunch of friends (who didn't all know each other) and we got weird and political and conversational. It was beautiful!
Favorite lyric in the album?
"See through my projections, put to death my ego. Kiss me with 10,000 years of patience in your mouth, The time to set things right is running out "
You're currently touring the States sharing these songs…. what has the experience been like to interact and share these stories and words with fans in person?
As I write this we're really just getting started but it's already been such an amazing experience. We are focused on primarily house shows for this tour, and hoping to create safe places to contemplate these issues and talk to each other about our perspectives. So far we've had silent meditation, yoga breaks, cheese boards and donuts, lots of laughs, and some incredibly deep moments. It feels like the album is just beginning it's life as a conversation catalyst and I hope it inspires more people to interact with the world.
How has this album shaped you as an artist?
I learned, despite the gravity of the subject matter, to not take things too seriously. I've had a tight grip on life for years, and very specific goals with music that are all kind of washing away. I learned that as a human being, apart from all my music and emotion and artistry, that I am allowed to be here. I feel confident about what I have to say for probably the first time in my life, and also more free to walk away from the whole thing and just be myself.
What's in store for fans next?
Honestly, no idea! I've got tons of more upbeat/joyful music and I'm looking to take some time to really figure out how to bring that kind of music to life. Definitely more albums and more house show tours 🙂

The Grammy Awards are airing on CBS at 8pm this Sunday night. Music's biggest awards show is often as confounding as it is exciting, but the megawatt lineup suggests noteworthy "moments" (the Grammys' favorite word) are ahead. Here are six performances I'm anticipating.
Beyoncé (& Jay Z?) The Queen Bey will make her first television appearance since she dropped a world-shaking, album-length bomb on iTunes in December. Rumor has it she'll be performing the barn-burning jam "Drunk In Love," which means she'll likely be joined by none other than her husband Jay Z. His verse does its best to kill the momentum of that otherwise flawless song, but the onstage chemistry should be electric nonetheless.
Beyoncé's last Grammy performance was in 2010.
Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers It didn't happen on Colbert. It didn't happen at the VMAs. But this Sunday, Daft Punk will perform for the first time anywhere in several years, and they're bringing their "Get Lucky" co-stars with them. I'm most excited for the Stevie Wonder element of this performance, however. How will arguably the world's best living musician mesh with two French robots? The results could be stunning.
Bonus: Daft Punk's last televised performance was this Kanye West collaboration at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
Taylor Swift: I was a tad surprised to see the reigning Queen of Pop on the list of performers. After all, she's in between tours and in the process of writing her next album, which will likely debut in the fall. But she's an Album of the Year nominee and a showman if ever there was one, so I won't complain. What will she sing? Will she bring guests? Will she keep it simple or expand her scope? If she plays her cards right, she could be riding a wave of enthusiasm all the way to another million-plus debut for her next album.
Last year, Taylor kicked off the show with a big stick.
Lorde and Kacey Musgraves. Two emerging talents with distinctive voices will take the stage on Grammy night, perhaps to make a statement about their pop peers, or perhaps just to make some good music. Either way, I'll be interested to see whether Lorde and Musgraves can elevate their profiles even further with these performances, or whether the hype has been overblown. At the Grammy Nominations Concert, Lorde didn't seem particularly keen on sticking around for applause, but she got plenty of it anyway. Musgraves' attitude is also notoriously carefree. Either one of these performances could be a breath of fresh air.
Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar. Because WHY? I can't think of two less compatible artists.
Also noteworthy: Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are set to perform, though possibly not together. Robin Thicke will join Chicago for what promises to be the cheesiest performance in history. Carole King and Sara Bareilles will mash up some of their biggest hits (King's bigger than Bareilles', naturally). The show will end with a raucous set from rockers Queens of the Stone Age, Lindsey Buckingham, Nine Inch Nails and Dave Grohl. Plus: Keith Urban! Hunter Hayes! John Legend! Katy Perry! Macklemore and Ryan Lewis! P!nk and Nate Ruess! Expect the show to teeter over the edge of its timeslot. I'll be there until the end.

Financing used vehicles despite an ATO debt
Maintaining a payment arrangement with the ATO can be difficult for businesses. When commercial vehicles are needed quickly to help service their customers, what finance is available? How a non traditional funder works with brokers to provide smart solutions to this problem.
A Brisbane-based company needed to acquire two used Commercial Vehicles to keep their business moving. The challenge was finding finance when they owed the ATO.
Frank Teager of Access Finance Group, a broker based in NSW, took on the task of finding a funder who could help. Many traditional lenders, such as the banks do not like these type of assets or liabilities.
Classic Funding Group Solution
A Chattel Mortgage for $44,500.
The transaction settled within 3 days.

Thank you for this interesting post. I would imagine that your climate was too hot for narcissus. Isn't it odd that this beautiful flower has given name to that awful self-loving & egoist person type! Thank you for linking - wishing you a great day!

They are so pretty! Daffodils are common here too in the Spring. I planted some bulbs in the fall but squirrels dug them up so I am no sure if any will come up. How interesting about the narcissus symbolism. It is great seeing something like this being preserved for generations to enjoy.

So lovely and such a wonderful reminder of Spring here is USA. Even though we've barely begun winter and it hasn't even been that blustery cold really yet, I'm already looking forward to Spring. I always love seeing those flowers around the neighborhood, but I've never planted any. Thanks for sharing and visiting me. :)

Seen a porcupine? I think you need Dutch wooden shoes when you go hiking there. That's better for your hubby's shoes :-) It must be so amazing to see a whole field with this flowers. I hope they don't build on this place in the future. A nice area for flora and fauna and archaeological treasures.

I always associate the daffodil just with England. It was fascinating to read all about it here. What a shame if this field ends up under concrete. Can't they move the plants to a park or something so that everyone can continue to enjoy them? Sarah x

The narcissis made me so happy but then your news about a possible construction site made me sad, because of the history as well as the flowers. I'm sorry to know that this kind of thing goes on everywhere not just here (though I greatly fear there will be more and more destruction of our natural world under our current 'regime'.)
I do love daffodils and narcissis --- these spring flowers don't do well here in Florida (where we spend winter) because it's too hot, but when we lived in Oregon all year round we used to grow them, so they bring back lovely memories.

I really don't see narcissus in Florida - too hot I thought. If they grow in Israel, may be they would grow here. Wild narcissus sounds wonderful.

- A Green and Rosie Life said...
It will be a few more weeks before our daffodils appear in Normandy, France and we are lucky to have wild ones here - although more yellow than your Israeli ones. I hope those who can make a difference see sense and the daffodils are not lost to concrete #TuesdayswithaTwist

By Timothy Kasbe, COO, Gloria Jeans Company, Guest Blogger*
The Technology community celebrates the rise of software in all spheres of life. Christopher Steiner calls it "Algorithms Rule the World." Andreessen Horowitz answers, "Why Software is Eating the World." The message is clear: Finally software is being put in the center of our lives. Software generates information and, in return, information changes software, and a beautiful cycle of improvement continues.
But software in the consumer world is progressing more quickly, and in a more relevant and agile manner, than in the enterprise world. An extreme example is of a business that lets a software company be its strategic partner and allows it to call the shots on all technology decisions. After five years of the software vendor having free rein over the customer, the software sold is not operational. All bills are paid, and the software engineers and consultants have happily gone home or on to their other customers.
In 2009, I asked a famous mobile device company in Canada to give us their software development kit so that we could deploy our internal information intelligence platform via their device. After numerous requests, we had no luck, whereas we had instant success in deploying this through the app store of their competitor in Cupertino! Way back then, we saw the writing on the wall for our Canadian mobile device provider.
Far too often we've seen the same situation repeated over and over again. Be it with SAP AG [NASDAQ: SAP], Salesforce.com [NASDAQ: CRM], Zoho or a thousand other examples, we see software solutions that seem to require that a company change its business processes to conform to the software's internal model of reality―instead of allowing the software to conform to the business' external model of reality. The alternative is lengthy and costly "integration" of existing systems and processes with the offending ERP or CRM system, which never works quite as intended and always takes longer and costs more than estimated, generally coupled with a terrible user experience.
This is a far cry from consumer applications like Facebook [NASDAQ: FB], Twitter, Gmail, Instagram, Amazon [NASDAQ: AMZN] or YouTube, which give us an instant update of graphic, video or text content from any corner of our planet to any other corner of our planet. Our customers are instrumented with powerful devices, with these systems forever raising the bar in their instant response times, elegantly simple user interfaces, and as Clay Shirky aptly puts it, "their technology so pervasive as to be invisible." And, when things are invisible, they are useful. This is our reality: a world outside the four walls of the enterprise supplying powerful devices with amazingly innovative software iterating faster than we can blink inside the enterprise.
Enterprise software companies will continue to face difficulties, if not irrelevance, unless they embrace the new normal of the consumer software advances as outlined above. We have already seen some enterprise software companies go away almost as fast as they came on the scene.
What we need instead is a revolution in the way we view industry systems like these. Why can't enterprise software professionals assume we know our business rather than trying to teach our business to us? What if instead we could teach the enterprise software system our processes? With advances in machine learning and the Semantic Web, this might just be possible.
So, instead of giving us a fixed, inflexible solution, you could give us a set of building blocks that could be recombined in an infinite number of ways based on different sets of common processes to provide the agility businesses need. Or let us select from a large number of template processes provided by others in our industries.
The widespread use of Excel in the enterprise is a direct result of the failure of enterprise software to provide flexible, easy-to-use systems that support our processes in an almost invisible manner. Most companies are ashamed to admit it, but users make more productive output on Excel than on any ERP, CRM, MRP or other system. It's heartbreaking, as Excel represents employee isolation, anti-collaboration, lack of process discipline, and shadow processing for which it was never intended. The lesson, however, is that it is easy to learn, useful and provides users with a platform to produce artifacts that are not hardwired applications designed and agreed-to by only a few business analysts in the enterprise and then stuffed down rest of the enterprise's throats.
For those who wake up and smell the coffee, there is still time to turn the intellectual wasteland of enterprise software monoliths into a new normal of a useful systems age.

In West Virginia, coal is a significant part of the state's history. Sadly, the abundance of natural resources is paired with natural asbestos sites throughout the state, exposing many West Virginians to its dangers.
What is Asbestos, and Why is it Hazardous?
Asbestos is an umbrella term for a class of silicate materials that have a fibrous structure. The flexible fibers that exist in asbestos make the substance useful as an insulation product, but are also toxic — particularly because those fibers can enter the lungs and other parts of the body, contributing to disease.
One of the most well-known risks associated with asbestos exposure is the development of lung diseases, and particularly mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the body's tissues. Asbestos exposure can also lead to the development of asbestosis, pleuritic, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Asbestos in West Virginia
Asbestos naturally exists in West Virginia, and the prevalence of the coal-mining industry in the state has exposed a great number of residents to the mineral for many years. Asbestos permeates a wide variety of processes involved in coal mining. In addition to the act of mining itself, much of the equipment used in coal mining and processing contained asbestos. This exposed workers in and around the mines, refineries, and power plants to the substance.
Other industries in the state also utilized asbestos-containing equipment in the past, including construction, steel work, and the railways.
Contact Cranston & Edwards, PLLC to Schedule a Free Consultation
If you or someone in your family has developed lung disease or other health issues due to long-term asbestos exposure, call Cranston & Edwards, PLLC to discuss your case. Coal mining was, and still is, the livelihood of many West Virginians who were long unaware of the associated risks. Our attorneys are dedicated to recovering the compensation you deserve.

From Tuesday 21st April – Sunday 24th May at Udderbelly Festival, Southbank Centre, you can see Gravity & Other Myths's A Simple Space.
How long can you hold your breath for? How many back flips can you do in one go? Can you stand on your head? Or… could you stand on somebody else's?
Last year's smash-hit circus show returns to London. This is the final chance to see A Simple Space in which eight young acrobats compete for your laughter, gasps and applause with non-stop, mind-boggling feats of breath-taking acrobatics. Get up close and personal with one of Australia's hottest circus ensembles, Gravity & Other Myths, as they push themselves to their limits and beyond in a captivating show of physicality, skill and daring.
A Simple Space is simultaneously raw, frantic and delicate. Supported by live percussion and presented so intimately that you can feel the heat, hear every breath, and be immersed in every Instead of fine-tuning the performance with makeup, lighting and contrived theatrical overlay, the cast have deliberately gone the opposite way. The audience sits close to the stripped back stage. In that space, without reserve, the performers break down their usual guards and introduce the reality of failure and weakness. With nowhere left to hide, personal narratives come through naturally. This honesty is the essence behind A Simple Space.
A Simple Place is part of Udderbelly Festival which runs from 9th April – 19th July 2015. Now in its 7th year, Udderbelly's iconic upside-down purple cow brings a splash of colour and a bellyful of comedy, circus and family shows to the South Bank.

Wairarapa United 2
Brooklyn Northern United 1
Capital Women's Premier League
Sunday 03 April 2016
Two teams new to the grade this season
This match was a promoted team versus a relegated team, first day of the season battle.
BNU were relegated from Central League in their last match of 2015. This season, they have combined their reserves and first team squads (reserves were in Capital 1 in 2015) to add depth and amalgamate coaching resources. I wrote match reports for BNU's Central League team last season, so decided to see how they would fare in the grade below.
I saw Wairarapa host Massey in the National Knock-out Cup last season. Massey went on to reach the Final, but were almost tipped over in an early round by then Capital 1 side Wairarapa. The hosts took the lead before Massey came back to 2-1, but Rapa were always in the game until second-half stoppage time when Massey made it 3-1.
Wairarapa have had several consecutive promotions over recent seasons. Some women's grades in Capital Football had mid-season promotions, so they have averaged more than one promotion per season recently (they were in Capital 3 in 2014). They have dominated the lower grades and now find themselves in Capital Premier.
The match was played on their artificial turf at Masterton's Memorial Park. Would the Wairarapa steamroller continue through Capital Premier, or would BNU find life easier outside Central League?
First half
Both sides showed signs of first-game nerves, with BNU the quickest to settle.
In the third minute, Pam Buchanan in the BNU midfield was given space and hit a long-distance shot It dipped down, hitting the crossbar, and bouncing down within the field of play.
Rapa had a spell of pressure after the first ¼ hour. They had two great chances: missing a sitter as a cross to the far post was put wide, and a solo run from their most impressive player was poked wide.
A Buchanan shot hit the frame of the goal again midway through the half. It was another shot from distance where the goalkeeper misjudged it (or it was well-left?) as it appeared to deviate in the air and hit the post before being cleared for a corner.
Although nothing came from that corner, BNU were delivering some lively crosses from their set-pieces. Fiona Walker-Pou headed just over from a corner in the 28th minute.
Wairarapa had their turn to hit the frame of the BNU goal when the ball was cut back from the by-line and a powerful shot from just inside the penalty area smashed the crossbar and bounced down but didn't pass over the goal-line.
Matisse Mitchell should have given BNU the lead just before halftime when a free-kick for hand-ball was swung in and, with the goalkeeper wrong-footed, Mitchell failed to hit the target.
0-0 Halftime but it could have been 2-2 or 0-2.
Second half
BNU took the lead in the 55th minute. Walker-Pou crossed from the left and Sophie Wilkinson and the Rapa goalkeeper both attacked the ball. The ball squirmed into the net from close range, with the goalscorer being deemed as 'own goal'.
Wairarapa equalised 5 minutes later. BNU failed to deal with a lobbed ball that bounced in their own penalty area. A Wairarapa player was first to the ball and prodded it past the goalkeeper 1-1.
BNU started to tire in the warm Masterton weather and BNU goalkeeper Alex Karantze made three good saves in the last quarter of the match.
As the game looked headed for a draw in stoppage time, BNU failed to effectively clear. The ball fell to their most impressive player who shot from long distance into the top corner of the goal.
The day before, the BNU men's first team goalkeeper headed in a late equaliser in men's Capital Premier when he advanced upfield for a corner. But before such scenes had the chance to occur in this match, the referee blew the final whistle for a 2-1 win to Wairarapa.
A good watch
Wairarapa seem to have a good mix of young, energetic players, alongside some players who have the composure to see and seize some space, with opportunities resulting from it.
I'd spent much of last season seeing BNU getting thumped by a large margin or dropping points in the last few minutes of the game, so it didn't surprise me too much to see a loss to a last minute goal. I had thought prior to the game there was the possibility that Wairarapa might get a large victory, but BNU's new players and those stepping up from late year's reserve team did well, showing that they have potential at this level.
Despite the disappointment of dropping late points, it was an entertaining game to watch. There were some good performances from both teams, and I just might have enjoyed it more than most of the Central League matches that I saw last year.

I took a trip to St Jean de Losne and there are three narrowboats in the marina and I found an old Springer in one of the maintenance yards looking the worst for wear. Unfortunately I couldn't spot the boat with the flybridge but I'll keep my eye out.
Pearl (outlaw) is not known for her culinary abilities but she has made a boeuf à la Bourgingnonne (beef bourgogne) and a what a surprise it was. She had missed out the seasoning, herbs, garlic, bacon or lardons, garlic and worst of all the red wine, in fact everything that makes it what it is supposed to be. I could feel Elizabeth David rolling in her grave. The fact that we have a copy of her 'French Provincial Cooking' makes the offence even greater. With a stroke of luck Pearl'll be all cooked out and the stress that this meal had put her under will prevent her from entering the kitchen for the next month or so. Just leave it to, 'le chef cuisine. C'est moi. Naturellement'. Ol' big 'ed.
It was Lisa's birthday last Sunday but I didn't mention it. I had written a blog on Word (or the Openoffice equivalent) the Saturday but it had disappeared by the Sunday and I had forgotten what I had written (ok, I may have had a little too much red wine). It is the first time in a long time that I had lost a document on a computer and it threw me out of sinc a little. Well it was her birthday and I'd be foolish to state what age she was but spring chickens are no longer mentioned. Normally Terri and I are in cahoots as Terri reminds me and I buy a card or if we have both forgotten Terri will buy the card and I will send a message to place inside. But Terri has gone and has her own life to worry about and can no longer afford the time to worry about mine. Suffice to say that Lisa had to make do with an email this year. I did forget her Christmas card one year when we were skiing and she threw a chair from the balcony of our accommodation missing a drinker on the terrace below by a fraction and my head by slightly less. Needless to say this is not normally forgotten these days. I'm not saying she's unreasonable but ...
Lisa reckons that the engine's not working on the boat. I have confirmed from her that the bilges (after explaining exactly where the bilges were) have neither water nor oil in them and have surmised that we are out of fuel. We didn't top up before I left as I had assumed that there would be enough for Lisa's use. Seemingly not. She cannot have done anything else to it surely. Well unless she wants to fill a can with diesel and use that she'll just have to do without for the next two weeks.
We have a small sit on tractor over here which, at a conservative estimate, is at least twenty five years old. It works, but only just. It breaks down all the time and we fix it all the time. The gearbox can only engage either first or fifth gears so I am cutting grass at snails pace or at breakneck speed, cutting between trees, getting myself caught on overhanging branches and generally being thrown about. It had been a bit sickly of late so myself and Chief Bodger Number One (Ken (outlaw)) had the carburettor off to blow out the jets and wash it all in petrol. It's a long time since I've done this as modern cars aren't really designed to be repaired in this way and must be returned to the garage for the whole unit to be replaced. Not like my old Triumph Bonneville. That was a real bike. That also kept breaking down but was usually easy to fix. Not quite sure what the point of this story was but there you go.
How come after hundreds of pounds worth of research and development and hundreds of years of human hours, does the door locks, heaters and windscreen washers always give up the ghost after a couple of years on Ford cars. Just a thought.
Do you ever get the impression that this blog has lost it's way somehow?

Whether we're talking about my bees or this blog, they are both back from the dead.
I haven't written in a while because I didn't think my bees we're going to make it. In my mind, for the past 6 months, they were already dead. Things weren't going well (documented in previous posts) and I figured the winter would finish them off. I was discouraged and didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Well, I was wrong on all accounts. The bees have once again surprised and delighted me. And everyone's advice has once again proven true: the bees can take care of themselves.
Going into winter, the colony's numbers had dwindled considerably, and it looked like they'd already eaten all of their honey stores. Every time I checked on them, they seemed more doomed. Their numbers were down and I couldn't find the queen. After that, I sort of left them for dead. I stopped feeding them and didn't insulate the hive the way I'd planned to.
When I checked on them intermittently throughout the winter, I would always walk away pleasantly surprised with their condition, but I'd also walk away pessimistically, anticipating they wouldn't survive much longer. That continued until about a month ago when I finally realized these girls have real fight in them.
On that day, I starting feeding them again. And when I checked on them yesterday, they were actually already bringing pollen into the hive. Where they were getting pollen in February after two weeks of solid freeze, I don't know (one friend suggested it was from buds at the tops of trees) but I was delighted.
Never again will I give up on my bees. They obviously don't give up on each other. It's just another on the long list of things I've learned from them about how a community should function. When you work together, you can accomplish a lot.
So, I'm sorry to you and I'm sorry to my bees. I hope to write more frequently and better document my journey throughout the coming season, a year I have very high hopes for considering the early start they are getting.
Here is a slow motion video of the bees from a few days ago. Enjoy.

Security deposit amount
The security deposit cannot amount to more than one month's rent at the time the tenancy starts. It cannot be increased as rent increases.
Holding the money
Landlords must put all security deposits in an interest-bearing trust account in a bank, treasury branch, credit union or trust company in Alberta within 2 banking days of the time they collect them from the tenant.
The landlord is required to keep security deposit records for at least 3 years after the tenancy ends.
Interest chart
Landlords must pay interest on their tenants' security deposits at the end of each tenancy year.
The interest must be paid every year unless the landlord and tenant agree in writing that the interest will be compounded yearly and paid to the tenant at the end of the tenancy.
Security deposit interest formula
The minimum annual interest rate that landlords must pay on security deposits is determined by a formula set out in the Security Deposit Interest Rate Regulation.
Current and past interest rates payable on security deposits
|Time period
|Minimum Annual Interest Rate
|January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2020
|January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008
|January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007
|January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2006
|January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001
|January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000
|January 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999
|January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1998
|January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996
|January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995

Security deposit interest calculator
Returning a deposit
Tenants have the right to get their security deposits back, if they meet certain conditions.
Security or damage deposit return conditions
When they move out, tenants have the right to get their deposits back, with any interest owing, as long as:
- there is no damage beyond normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear is deterioration that occurs over time with use even with reasonable care and maintenance
- the rental premises have been properly cleaned
- no rent or other costs are owing
Sample cleaning list for tenants (PDF, 100 KB)
Tenants should provide a forwarding address to the landlord in writing and keep copies of all their documents for 3 years.
If return conditions are not met
If the tenant does not meet the conditions, the landlord has the right to keep part or all of the security deposit to cover costs. If the costs exceed the security deposit, the landlord can take legal action to claim for the money owing. A tenant who disagrees with deductions from the security deposit may also apply to the RTDRS or Court.
If there are no deductions for rent, cleaning, repairs, or other costs, such as utilities, late fees or legal fees, the landlord must pay the tenant the full deposit plus interest within 10 days of the day the tenant gave up possession of the rental premises.

If you have been following the media over the past few days and hear about the campsite at Ft. Negley and wonder how you can help, here is what we hope you will do:
Support How's Nashville's #2016by2016 campaign. We need donations to cover move-in costs for people experiencing chronic homelessness, and we need landlords accepting Section 8 vouchers (housing choice vouchers).
Right now several of the people have Section 8 vouchers obtained with the assistance of How's Nashville partners, but they cannot find a landlord to accept them. In addition, there are about 100 homeless Veterans in our community who have housing vouchers in hand and cannot find landlords with available units to accept their vouchers.
In addition, our move-in funds are running out. So what can you do right now?
1. If you are a landlord, reach out to Deon Trotter (firstname.lastname@example.com)
2. For all others, please make a donation. (please be aware crowd-funding contributions are not tax-deductible…)
… for a tax-deductible donation, please make out a check to "How's Nashville" and mail it to Metropolitan Homelessness Commission, attn: Will Connelly, P.O. Box 196300, Nashville, TN, 37219-6300.
Share this post with your friends and take the extra step to follow up with them to take action. Please help.

For one of my classes we were given an assignment in which we would have to participate in one of four options. One of them being part of Design Week in Portland.
AC+D is hosting a show called 7 year sight line due to this being the program's 7th year. This one sounded to be the most interesting to be a part of. My friend suggested we should do it bison themed because of the space our studio is in. Which is called the Bison Building due to there being a wooden sculpture of a bison on each of the four corners of the building.
You guessed it! I'm scanning one of those suckers and going to make some sweet bling! Seeing as it's rather high up and I only had a ladder I couldn't get the greatest scan. So I am aligning and stitching the mesh back together by hand. From the rough form I will get in Rhino I plan on taking it into Zbrush to do cleanup work and detailing. Here is some I progress shots of what I have so far….
This is the 3 scans I was able to get. I cut them up saving the best features from each mesh. I then positioned them all together which left some big gaps from missing information and inconsistencies in the alignment.
To patch them I quickly drew some lines connecting the vertexes across from them. I really don't care how well they are positioned. I just need a mesh there for now.
I lofted all the curves and was left with this. It looks pretty rough but I plan on bringing it into Zbrush allowing me to clean this mesh up.
I haven't worked much on it yet but it is cleaning up nicely.

WAUKESHA, Wis. — Maybe the bank robber needed the money to buy a watch.
C'mon — what's not to like?
Hoof it over to Facebook to join the weird news herd.
- C'mon — what's not to like?
It would seem he needed one after arriving six minutes after the Guardian Credit Union in Waukesha closed. Police said a man wearing a ski mask entered the first set of doors at 5:36 p.m. Wednesday with a gun, apparently not realizing the bank was closed.
The second set of doors was locked and police were called but the man left before they arrived.
Waukesha Police Sgt. Jerry Habanek told The Freeman in Waukesha that police are reviewing security tapes and investigating.
He said the robber could have planned poorly or possibly had another reason, like getting tied up in traffic.

Product Description
Physician payment for the Medicare program continues to evolve. For many years the MPFS (Medicare Physician Fee Schedule) used RBRVS (Resource Based Relative Value Scale) along with annually adjusted conversion factor to determine payment for physicians. Today there are many changes occurring from different directions. The sustainable growth factor (SGF) is being replaced by various directives in MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act) including MIPS (Merit Based Incentive Payment System). While the new approaches (models) emphasize value of services, CMS is also doing away with the GSP (Global Surgical Package) and making changes for payment and documentation of certain E/M (Evaluation and Management) codes. Throw into the mix the changes that are occurring with telehealth and provider-based clinics and it is little wonder that the whole are of physician payment for the Medicare program can be confusing.
- What is RBRVS?
- What are these relative values and surgical percentages?
- What is the SGF and how is it used?
- Is CMS having difficulty doing away with the GSP?
- What is the overall intent of MACRA?
- How is MIPS supposed to work?
- What are all these physician payment models?
- What is the purpose of the Direct Contracting Model Option?
- What is different in the Primary Care First Model Option?
- Where to provider-based clinics fit into these optional payment models?
- How does telehealth fit into these processes?
Learning Objectives:
- To review RBRVS, the relative values and surgical percentages.
- To appreciate the role of the conversion factor and the SGF.
- To understand Congress's intent in passage of MACRA.

Eating Healthy on the Road
Eating healthy on the road can be done! If you prepare ahead of time and pack healthy snacks you can save money and make eating healthy more convenient and easy. Below I listed some foods rich in fiber and/or protein that you can pack for a trip to help fill you up. If you prefer to make a pit stop at a fast food restaurant or gas station and aren't sure what to buy then check out my mini section of what to choose. First, make sure to stop before you reach the point of starvation when the inhibitions to eat unhealthy go down and any food sounds good to eat.
Healthy Foods to Pack in a Cooler
- Sandwiches on whole grain bread
- Yogurt
- String Cheese
- Cut up Vegetables or baby carrots
- Fruit: orange slices or berries
Things You Can Bring with that Don't Require Refrigeration
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole grain bread
- Fruit: Bananas, apples
- Almonds, Walnuts, Peanuts or other nuts
- Trail mix (watch your portion size, you may want to buy the pre-portioned single servings to make sure you don't over indulge)
- Whole grain crackers (watch your portion of snack foods in a large container as it is easy to eat more than one serving at a time)
- Oatmeal packets: you can almost always find somewhere to get hot water
What to Choose if you are Eating out on the Road
- Choose calorie free beverages. Reach for water when you are thirsty. Energy drinks, juice and soda and some coffee drinks like iced mochas add a lot of sugar and calories to your daily intake.
- If you are at the airport a lot of times a coffee shop or food stand will have some healthy options for travelers.

Other Tips to Help You Be Healthier on Vacation
- Start out with a breakfast that isn't all carbohydrates
- If you are headed on a trip where you know you will be eating out for most or all of your meals then balance your day. If you are planning to go out to a fancy dinner that night then eat a light breakfast and lunch. Avoid ordering dessert every night. Or if you are doing a big breakfast one day then think small and simple for lunch and dinner that day.
- Share meals at restaurants that offer large portion sizes. Since most of the time when you are on the road you don't have a refrigerator it is a great way to stay leftover free.
- Explore your destination on foot. Ask at your hotel about places within walking distance or other scenic things near by you could visit on foot.
- Think of activities that aren't all sedentary. Think of renting bikes, going for a swim or walk on the beach.

podcast continues this week with a pair of fantastic special guests - speaking with Laura-Beth are director Paloma Baeza and producer Ser En Low who just won the National Film and Television School its fifth consecutive BAFTA win (not to mention picking up a McLaren and Annie Award among others) for Best Short Animation with their film Poles Apart. Give 'er a download or a listen below:
It's a brilliant, Wes Anderson-esque stop-motion film about the friendly/tense relationship between a polar bear and a grizzly that really stood out among last year's NFTS crop so it's great to see it continue to do so well.
These podcasts are always more fun to do when our blood is a little stirred up, so thanks to another disappointing Oscars year for helping us out on that front.
British Animation Awards, will return to London tahn on the 15th. I was once again part of the jury although I won't be able to be in the city for the awards themselves, but it should be a fun one. Well, as fun as anything can be in my absence. Soldier on, my brave little soldiers.
If you haven't yet got tickets it's probably a little close to the wire at this point, but you might get a place on the waiting list if you shoot them an email via their official site.

My wife called me one afternoon the first part of November and told me a coworkers friend was in need of a metal detector. So the story goes. A farmer was spreading hay in his barn for the cows bedding when he noticed his wedding ring was missing. He searched for hours with no luck. About a week later he had mentioned the loss to his friend, my wifes coworker and she ask my wife if I would be willing to look for it. It was right in the middle of our early freeze so I was game for a little detecting. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at his farm, it was a very old farm site. That definitely got my blood pumping? Can you guess why? Anyway we went to the barn and he pointed out the stall he thought it was in and I got to work with the Equinox. About 20 minutes into searching he was ready for me to give up. I told him Im going to find it so I hope your not in a hurry. He said ok lets keep going. I finally got a solid 21 on the Equinox and I had a feeling this was it. We dug down in the packed hay and manure and at about 3-4 inches there it was. High fives commenced.
After the recovery we started talking about his old farm. He mention it was an 1860s farm and part of the house was still the original log home. We proceeded to house for a quick tour of the original part and to give his wife the good news about the find. They then asked me the question. How much do we owe you? I said I dont want any payment and I had only one request. Can I PLEASE come back and search your property? Permission was granted, so it will be one of my early hunts this spring. Now Im sure you know why I was excited to see such and old farm and why I was not going to give up on finding that ring.

LIVERPOOL are unhappy with the actions of the FA after an injured Steven Gerrard was ordered to travel south to link up with the England squad.
The Anfield outfit declared Gerrard unfit to feature in his country's friendly against Germany tomorrow after a scan revealed the midfielder suffered a minor groin tear during the weekend win at Bolton Wanderers.
However, despite Liverpool withdrawing their skipper from the squad, the FA insisted the player journey to England's base at Watford to be checked over by their own medical staff.
The initial diagnosis was yesterday proven to be correct and Gerrard was released to return to Merseyside for treatment.
But by ordering Gerrard to travel for a second scan, the implication from the FA is that Liverpool were lying over the extent of the midfielder's injury.
And that has not gone down well at Anfield, particularly as Gerrard is facing a race against time to be fit for the Champions League group game with Marseille a week tomorrow.
The 28-year-old is already a major doubt for Saturday's Premier League visit of Fulham and manager Rafael Benitez said: "We had to do a scan after the Bolton game because Steven said he had some pain in his groin.
"It is not a massive problem and we hope he will be ready to return in seven to 10 days."
Victory over Marseille would guarantee progress to the knockout stages and give Liverpool a chance of winning the group ahead of Atletico Madrid.
Gerrard was on target at the Reebok Stadium at the weekend as Benitez's side kept pace with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.
And Dirk Kuyt, who also netted against Bolton, believes Liverpool dare not take their foot off the gas in their hunt for a first title in 19 years.
Before their next assignment against a top-four side, at Arsenal on December 21, Benitez's side have three home league games against Fulham, West Ham United and Hull City and also travel to Blackburn Rovers, who currently have the worst home record in the top flight.
But Kuyt has warned against complacency in the next month.
"People say that we are facing a run of games that we should be capable of winning," he said. "But we know that we can beat the top sides and still lose to the clubs lower down. We do not want to look too far ahead, all the games are difficult.
"We have shown that by beating Manchester United and then drawing with Stoke in the next match. We beat Chelsea but then lost at Spurs soon after.
"We are aware it is really difficult every time in the Premier League, we must be right on top of our game for every match."
Kuyt added: "We are still in touch at the top, but we just look to the next game and making sure we take the points.
"Every game is difficult and every team can make things hard for us. You only have to look at the teams who come to Anfield and then defend deep all game.
"That has happened several times, and I am sure that Fulham next weekend will do the same. That will be another difficult game."
Kuyt and Gerrard are Liverpool's leading goalscorers this season with seven apiece, with the Holland international enjoying a return to form in an unfamiliar wide position on the right.
"I am still enjoying playing wide on the right, it means I am in the team," he said. "It is going well and we are winning games with this system.
"It does not matter to me whether I am playing on the right of midfield or up front. The most important thing is to win the games and score goals."

Adventist Pastor's
Quick-Meet Ministry
They have chaplains at an airport?
By Ansel Oliver/Adventist News Network
Every Thursday morning, José A. Barrientos, Jr., leaves his home shortly after 5:00 a.m. and drives to Washington Dulles International Airport to minister to his flock for several hours. Instead of church members in pews, his congregants are scurrying commuters and employees in one of the United States' largest international airports.
MANY STEPS: Barrientos, left, helps a traveler find his gate on a recent early Thursday morning. Some days he meets with people in the airport chapel, while other days he walks several miles assisting passengers with directions.Barrientos, a Seventh-day Adventist minister, is one of 18 assistant chaplains at the busy hub. Not only is he the youngest—he's also the only Hispanic chaplain there, which makes him the go-to guy in offering assistance to Spanish-, Portuguese-, and Italian-speaking passengers, as well as the maintenance staff, the large majority of whom are Hispanic.
He and other chaplains offer support while roaming the terminals looking for people to assist with directions, calming passengers who haven't received their luggage at baggage claim, or reading faces to find those who might need solace. Once a month Barrientos leads the Wednesday evening Protestant service held at the international terminal's interfaith chapel.
Barrientos' main employment is as the children's ministry pastor at Community Praise Center Adventist Church in nearby Alexandria, Virginia, but he volunteers several hours each week at the airport.
Denominational leaders hope the idea of Adventist ministers serving as airport chaplains will take flight.
"We favor more pastors extending their ministries into the community," said Gary Councell, director of Advent- ist Chaplaincy Ministries (ACM), the movement's ecclesiastical endorsing agency. "We have influence only when we mingle with people and spend time with them for their interests instead of our needs."
Adventist pastors who become endorsed by ACM serve in such places as corporations, fire and police departments, sporting events, and cruise lines.
Many people will talk to a chaplain at airports just to share their good mood for a few minutes, while others are desperate for spiritual support, such as a woman who was sobbing during a chapel service after discovering her significant other was unfaithful. Some seek other things.
"Need help finding your gate?" Barrientos asked a man wandering toward a dead-end corridor carrying a large backpack, computer bag, and neck pillow.
HELPING OTHERS: José Barrientos, a volunteer chaplain at Washington Dulles International Airport, helps the Ribeiro family find a shuttle to a nearby mall during their five-hour layover between Rio de Janeiro and Orlando. Barrientos assists Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking passengers with practical support and sometimes prays with those who may need spiritual comfort.Barrientos is a pastor, but he also serves as a guide, restaurant critic, and first-rate public relations representative. He talks up the architecture of newer terminals and boasts of upcoming renovations. Dulles airport is currently involved in the largest public transportation construction projects in the nation.
"You'll love it. When it's done, you'll say, 'I want to travel more,'" he tells passengers.
Opened in 1962, Dulles International is 26 miles from downtown Washington, D.C., and employs almost 30,000 people. Last year it served nearly 24 million passengers, according to its Web site. In 2009 Dulles International was America's ninth busiest airport in terms of international passenger traffic, with just under 6 million international passengers recorded.
"It's a huge, huge place," Barrientos said one recent morning while walking through the predawn chill to the terminal. "Are you ready to do a lot of walking?"
His supervisor, Ralph Benson, wears a pedometer and estimates he walks five to nine miles each day he's there. An American Baptist minister, Benson frequently sees Barrientos on his rounds, and requests his assistance in working with Spanish-only speakers.
"He's wonderful; everyone loves him," said Benson, who serves as director of ministry for the Metro Washington Airports Interfaith Chapels, Inc. The nonprofit organization provides ministry for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which owns both Dulles International and Ronald Reagan Washington National airports.
Barrientos has dark, spiky hair and wears a charcoal-gray suit, and a dress shirt with a green tie. It's up to each chaplain to decide how they want to dress, he says, but Barrientos says he prefers business apparel—claiming he needs all the credibility he can get. He's 28 years old with a cheery, young face and a slight build. Many Hispanics, he said, don't expect a minister to be young.
GREETING WORKERS: Barrientos often goes out of his way to greet Hispanic employees at Dulles. Here he chats briefly with a security guard in the international terminal."But you're not old," a quizzical passenger on the underground train between terminals said to him in Spanish.
Passengers are often surprised that his position even exists.
"I didn't even know airports had chaplains," said Betsy Buckner, who had flown with her husband all night after visiting friends in Argentina.
They were looking for the Air France executive lounge during their five-hour stopover before a flight home to San Diego, California.
"Passengers are usually one of two extremes: people are either really, really happy or really sad," Barrientos said. Many passengers he meets are going to visit loved ones, while others have just lost loved ones.
Airport ministry is fast—a chaplain must get to know someone quickly and then, just as fast, let them go.
"It's easy for me. I like to make friends," he said after chatting up a security guard. "[My girlfriend] will tell you I talk too much."
When not talking with employees or leading passengers, Barrientos lets people know about the chapel and its services. Of the literature rack, he says the Adventist book he has to restock most often is El Camino a Cristo, the Spanish version of Steps to Christ, written by Seventh-day Adventist Church cofounder Ellen G. White. About 300 people visit the chapel every day.
The first airport chapel in the United States was established in 1951 at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. Now more than 140 airports worldwide have chapels, usually designated as "interfaith" locations, according to the International Association of Civil Aviation Chaplains, a nonprofit organization.
