Fabulous After 40
Don't let images of teenage models in the magazines fool you -- 40 is more fabulous than ever these days! To prove it, More magazine and Wilhelmina Models teamed up for a 40+ Model Search, reaching out to women of all different shapes and sizes in nine different cities. The women who entered had never modeled before, which was exactly what the folks behind the contest were seeking. "We were looking for another dimension, something extra," says More's Beauty & Fashion Director, Lois Joy Johnson. "What they're doing with their lives has to be interesting, or they should have some characteristics we think are special. It's not just a pretty face."
"What distinguishes these women from the rest was that they have this incredible spirit," says Peggy Northrop, More's Editor-In-Chief. "They really do exude that sense of confidence and well-being that comes from inside." Watch the video above to meet the finalists.
All of the finalists are accomplished and beautiful, but most importantly, they revel in their age. "My advice for women turning 40 is to celebrate," says Peggy. "Your best years are really ahead. The women in our model search contest are the living proof of that."
What's their secret? Find out how these finalists really feel about their age, maintain their looks and why they've never felt better.
Patricia, 50
"I think my number one beauty secret is to drink a lot of water, a little concealer, and one thing I think that looks fabulous on everyone is just a smile."
Lisa, 42
"Once you turn 40, you get that confidence. And I think what better age to model, and I think we're more beautiful than ever now."
Paula, 41
"I think if there's another secret to being beautiful at any age, it's probably taking the time to care for yourself."
Web exclusive! Check out this behind-the-scenes chat among the finalists.
And the winner of More Magazine's 2006 40+ Model Search was Patricia Neville! Patricia got a chance to strut her stuff on the runway in New York on February 27th, 2007, when the winner was announced at a runway show and party. She also won a modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models!

- "Inform the commander that Lord Vader's shuttle has arrived."
- ―Lieutenant Endicott
ST 321 was the comm unit designation of Darth Vader's personal Imperial Lambda-class T-4a shuttle.
Contents |
ST 321 was equipped with sensor jammers, specialized tactical displays, and other modified features, such as advanced targeting systems.[2][3] The "ST" in the shuttle's designation stood for "space transport."[4] It is escorted by a contingent of TIE/LN starfighters, one of which included Black 11.
Vader's shuttle featured a meditation chamber aboard similar to the one on his flagship, the Star Dreadnought Executor.[5]
In 1 ABY, Vader—accompanied by a unit of Triumphant-class dark troopers—used this shuttle during the operations Molecular Clamp, Sieve, Green Light and Take Down to travel to the cities of Bestine, Coronet and Theed, respectively.[6] A year later, Vader later used the shuttle to travel to Bespin during its occupation by Imperial Forces to coerce its administrator, Lando Calrissian, who was also a former acquaintance of Han Solo, into delivering him, Leia, and Chewbacca to him. After losing Luke Skywalker during their duel, he used the shuttle to return to the Executor.
Shortly before the Battle of Endor, the ST 321 brought Darth Vader from the Star Destroyer Avenger to the second Death Star.[7] This was the shuttle Luke Skywalker used to escape the second Death Star along with his deceased father.[8] He managed to get to the shuttle relatively easily as the Imperials were in the middle of an evacuation at the time.
Behind the scenesEdit
The Return of the Jedi radio dramatization states that Luke escaped the second death star in Emperor Palpatine's shuttle. The novel The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader counters this by stating that the escape was made in Vader's shuttle. This is supported by Starships of the Galaxy, which states that Palpatine's shuttle was destroyed with the second Death Star.
The shuttle later reappeared in the 1997 re-releases of The Empire Strikes Back when Vader returned to the Executor during the film's climax, largely due to their reusing the scene of Darth Vader's arrival on the Death Star II from Return of the Jedi.

In-house walking and transport routes, streets or adjacent buildings often present a problem for conventional, open explosion venting.The Q-Box II captures flames and heat during explosion venting; allowing easy indoor and outdoor installation and positioning of relevant machinery. Manufacturing equipment of low sturdiness and with large venting area requirements is cost-effectively protected from the aftermath of an explosion. The rectangular cross section complements the dimensions of standard bursting panels, making the protection system suitable for etrofitting existing installations. This protection system is maintenance-free, negating operational costs. The Q-Box II is the perfect safety system for indoor devices, such as elevators, and when compared to cost-intensive venting ducts, the Q-Box II is the true economical alternative.

Sebastian Vettel's win for Red Bull at the Indian Grand Prix brought the total of Renault-engined wins in F1 to 150, leaving the French manufacturer third in the overall standings, only 16 behind Ford/Cosworth.
Renault entered F1 in 1977 as a constructor and has achieved success in both this capacity and as an engine supplier. After making its debut at Silverstone in July 1977, it secured its first win in France in 1979, and has achieved wins with every type of engine fielded, with wins shared by the 1.5-litre V6 turbo, the 3.5 and 3.0-litre V10s, and the current 2.4-litre V8.
"With this win we reach the second milestone in two races," said Jean-François Caubet, managing director of Renault Sport F1. "After securing our 200th pole in Korea we now have a total of 150 wins from a little over 500 GP starts. That's a hit rate of 30% of all races entered.
"Everyone at Viry can take pride in the fact that every engine type we have entered - from the V6 to the open V10 and back to the current V8s has won multiple races and, in most cases, championships. It shows the strength and depth of the resources we have and our ability to adapt. We'd like to thank, once more, all our teams and drivers who have given us the opportunity to shine like this."
Renault Wins 1979 - 2012
Engine Type:
1.5 V6 Turbo: 20
Vettel: 25, Hill: 21, Alonso: 17, Prost: 16, Mansell: 15, Villeneuve: 11, Schumacher: 9, Webber: 9, Arnoux: 4, Senna: 4, Patrese: 4, Boutsen: 3, Jabouille: 2, Herbert: 2, Fisichella 2, de Angelis: 1, Coulthard: 1, Frentzen: 1, Berger: 1, Trulli: 1 and Maldonado: 1.
Williams: 64. Red Bull: 33, Renault (Enstone): 20, Renault (France): 15, Benetton: 12 and Lotus: 5
On a historic day for the French manufacturer, Renault Sport F1 personnel shared their memories of their personal favourite Renault-engined victories:
Jean-Pierre Menrath, head of dyno testing:
Jean-Pierre Jabouille, France 1979
The first races of 1979 had been disastrous for Renault: in seven races with two cars we had had 12 DNFs and zero points. This is why our management at the time, Gerard Larousse, managing director, and François Castaing, technical director, ordered two test sessions at Dijon. They wanted to create a winning mentality in a company that doubted its own ability.

The group, whose second LP Outta This World was held off the top spot in last week's chart by the Progress singers, kicked off their UK tour last night in Scotland.
"I used to play the piano and I'm going to take it up again," J.B Gill told the Daily Star. "I feel like I've lost touch with it and I want to be able to play it on stage as well as on future albums."
Marvin Humes added: "We all want to play our own instruments. We want to take the band forward. Take That inspired us."
He continued: "We've already decided what we're playing. I'm playing drums and Oritsé is on guitar."
Humes joked that bandmate Aston Merrygold won't need an instrument.
"Aston's instrument is his dance moves - his back-flips," he said.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York wine and food will again be part of presidential inauguration in the celebration for President Barack Obama on Jan. 21.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer says the New York fare will be part of a traditional luncheon that will include the president, Vice President Joe Biden and congressional leaders.

Schumer is again chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies and picked the menu.

Are my genes making me fat?
Probably. Definitely not. Possibly. OK, it depends. While there are hundreds of genes that impact weight, there are several known mutations that run in families and apparently predispose those who have them to obesity. Someone who is predisposed to obesity may have a harder time resisting extra trips to the buffet line and a harder time losing weight once it's gained than someone without that genetic makeup. Let's use my family and in-laws as real-world examples:

The group claims, "We wish that there was no such creature as mesothelioma, or an uncommon sort of cancer called mesothilioma, there is, however, ; we have gone through it ourselves, and we don't desire anybody having to begin with nothing when they get this news." They are saying, "Our group does things for a just diagnosed mesothelioma victim that nobody else does and / or no one else will do. We are endeavoring to help victims of mesothelioma in each serious way possible ; the service is free, and for a family trying to address this rare kind of cancer we think that we are game changers." They assert, "1,000 US Navy Veterans will be diagnosed as having mesothelioma in 2011–we can't change that. Nor are we able to change the incontrovertible fact that two thousand other US citizens will get a mesothelioma diagnosis in 2011. What we will be able to change is the way a mesothelioma victim or their family is treated, and we will change how speedily they can get up to scratch on this sort of cancer, through our unequaled services and our unique resources.
US Navy Veterans or individuals dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis are urged to call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group thru its website at MesotheliomaVictimsCenter media release . Apart from US Navy Veterans, other risky groups for mesothelioma cancer include shipyard, power station, or oil refinery workers, plumbers, electricians, county, or town municipal water district workers, miners, demolition construction contractors, railroad employees, or auto brake technicians. The Mesothelioma Victims Center claims, "Typically the average US mesothelioma victim is about 72 years of age. Very frequently mesothelioma is diagnosed three, four, or perhaps 5 decades after the exposure to asbestos." MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.

Has anyone else experienced a staggering a drop in referrals since the new pricing system? We've had about a 30% drop in sales, so I would assume referrals are likewise down, but there is a significant gap between 30% and 3,000%. It is also odd that we have more depostis than registered members. Does anyone have any idea what might account for all this?
Yeah i had the same and i think it's also because of the buy now feature that has been introduced witch i already did see coming.
I think you had more deposits because someone registered a month before and the deposit just came a month ahead that's the only guess i can make, i had this too sometimes.

I'm not sure.. does the new pricing system require you to be registered when you're paying the extra $2? If not, then that's why. They simply arn't registering, but buy straight away.
Yes you need to register to buy either way, and we still get 30% of the first purchase of a referred buyer even if he buys-now rather than deposit.
But yeah it's been slow here too since Xmas – I think we should just get rid of Christmas, it's pointless anyway, it's freezing, you can't even go out, let's just buy presents for the kids and that's it
Well for me November and December was actually good but January has been really crappy.
I don't think it's the pricing system, rather it's the people have no money left to spend.

Well it must be because of the new +2$ pricing system; many people will pay 2 bucks to "save time"...I couldn't tell about the registrations %, because I've got none for like 2 months:
- December 2009, 562 Clickthroughs, 0 Registered Members
- January 2010, 38 Clickthroughs, 0 Registered Members
Man, where are you posting you ref links? CNN .com, techcrunch? That's a lot of refs, at least for me it is
EDIT @Joost – yes, the new system doesn't require registration. However, you should still get 30% off of their purchase nonetheless…

Chinese Human Rights Advocate Chen Visits Congress; Meets with Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader Pelosi, Chairman Smith and others
Cong. Smith, Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader Pelosi and other senior members of the House welcome Chen Guangcheng to Capitol Hill.
Cong. Smith greets Chen Guangcheng when the Chinese human rights leader arrived at the U.S. Capitol Building Aug. 1.
Washington, Aug 1, 2012
- The blind Chinese activist who made a daring escape from house arrest in China last April, eventually gaining entry in the U.S., was on Capitol Hill today for meetings to discuss ongoing human rights abuse in China, including forced abortion, and to request specific efforts needed to protect his family members still in China.
After meeting Speaker of the House John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Smith hosted Chen at an informal gathering of members of Congress who supported him during his imprisonment.
At the gathering, Chen thanked everyone who helped him, and all who stand for the rule of law and human rights in China, "
even if the results are not immediately visible
." He said "
The human rights situation in China has been deteriorating recently," but noted "more Chinese are waking up, and that trend is a good one
." He mentioned that "
the soft approaches taken some countries are delaying progress
Smith, chairman of the house panel that oversees human rights, said "
Chen, who was first targeted by the Chinese in 2005, has endured arbitrary arrests and detainment, brutal beatings in prison and house arrest for defending women from forced abortions
Smith called Chen a "hero," and welcomed him to the Capitol to speak on behalf of the others tragically suffering in China because of their defense of human rights. Smith chaired three Congressional hearings in the last ten months, including two in May when Chen was able to call in live from China.
Chen is a hero
," Smith said. "
He, his family members and his attorneys have all suffered torture because Chen defended women in Chinese counties who had been targeted, dragged into clinics and forced to abort their children
Chen's entrance into the American Embassy in late April caused a diplomatic furor as it came during the runup to Secretary of State Clinton's visit to China for talks. Moving from the American Embassy to a local hospital for medical care, he was heavily guarded. From the hospital, a "
shaken" Chen told an Associated Press reporter he was appealing to Congressman Smith to help his family.
After weeks of pressure, he, his wife and two children arrived at Newark International Airport. He and his family live in New York while he is studying at New York University.
In an unplanned live call-in to a
May 3rd hearing
of the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China, Chen testified by phone from his hospital bed in China about his concerns of his and his family's safety. Within hours, the Chinese government announced that Chen could apply to travel to the United States. Chen also called into a
May 15 hearing
Smith chaired.
Congressional-Executive Commission on the People's Republic of China
is a congressionally-mandated, bipartisan panel made up of Members of the House and Senate and Presidential appointees serving in the Obama Administration. Chairman Smith held three hearings on Chen, including an
emergency hearing in November 2011 to determine Chen's then-unknown status.
Smith also wrote a
House Amendment on Chen's plight in July 2011
that passed the Foreign Affairs Committee, and
nominated Chen for the Nobel Peace Prize in February 2010

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The man charged with trying to kill a Knoxville police officer dropped him with the first shots and then stood over him to fire the final bullet execution-style, court records revealed Thursday suggest.
Cleven J. "Cleveland" Johnson, 26, faces charges that include attempted first-degree murder in Tuesday's shooting of Knoxville Police Department Officer Norman Rickman.
Johnson has denied the charges and said he was set up.
Police said Johnson shot Rickman, a 19-year KPD veteran, when the officer showed up around 3:15 p.m. to investigate a silent burglar alarm at 6600 Rockbridge Lane in Northwest Knoxville near the city limits. Rickman walked to the back of the house and surprised Johnson and two others -- James Willie Murry, 32, and Tony R. Dixon, 17 -- as they climbed out a back window, authorities said.
Johnson shot Rickman, who wasn't wearing a protective vest, and "when officer was down defendant then approached, stood over the officer and fired again," KPD Investigator Joe Huckleby wrote in an arrest warrant. The warrant doesn't list the number of shots.
Tim Hall, a registered nurse who gave Rickman first aid until the ambulance arrived, said he saw three gunshot wounds -- one in the middle of the officer's chest, one under his right collarbone and one in his left forearm. Police said they're still working to determine the exact sequence of the shots.
"We may never know that for sure," said KPD Deputy Chief Gary Price, commander of the Criminal Investigation Division.
He wouldn't go into detail about the shots or anything else mentioned in the warrant.
"All I can tell you is that it's a warrant for attempted first-degree murder, and that it pretty much speaks for itself," Price said.
A woman who lives near the scene of the shooting reported finding a cocked and loaded pistol tossed in her yard Wednesday, the same day Johnson surrendered to police. She said offi cers told her the gun might be the one used to shoot Rickman.
Police wouldn't talk about that gun. Authorities have said the bullets that hit Rickman came from a "smallcaliber" pistol.
Court records also indicate the other suspects, Dixon and Murry, could be making deals to testify against Johnson. The arrest warrant lists both as witnesses.
They're each charged with especially aggravated burglary. Murry remains in jail, and Dixon remains at the Richard L. Bean Juvenile Service Center.
Investigators have found "no known witnesses" to the shooting apart from Rickman and the three suspects, KPD spokesman Darrell De-Busk said. He refused to discuss the details mentioned in the warrant or whether the video camera in Rickman's cruiser recorded any sights or sounds of the shooting.
"We have the video, and it is part of our evidence," he said.
Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV said he'd visited Rickman again Thursday at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, where the officer remains in critical but stable condition after surgery.
"He was not able to talk to us," the chief said. "But we're pleased he's maintaining the status that he has."
Rickman talked with fellow Officer Bill Muhlfeld on the way to the hospital but hasn't been able to talk in detail about what happened to him. He remains sedated and on a breathing tube.
The shooting marked the second time Rickman has been shot in the line of duty. He survived a shooting by a drunken-driving suspect in July 2001 on Papermill Drive.
The chief said calls and e-mail of support for Rickman have arrived from all over the state and country in the past four days. That's on top of the residents who have lined up to donate blood in the wounded offi cer's name and the officers from various departments who volunteered their help in the hours after the shooting.
"It was really something to see the response that came from all these other agencies," he said.

It will require training for most public school teachers, administrators and other employees on how to spot bullying and mandate that all districts form a "school safety team" to review complaints. School districts would be graded by the state on their efforts to combat the problem.
Administrators who do not investigate reported incidents of bullying would be disciplined, while students who bully could be suspended or expelled. School employees would also be required to report all incidents they learn of, whether they took place in or outside of school.
The bill, in the works for almost a year, gained publicity and momentum after the suicide of Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi, whose roommate streamed a romantic encounter between him and another man over the internet.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Devasya from Malabar came to the city for treatment of cancer at the Regional Cancer Centre. But what happened hence should be an eye-opener to the hundreds of people who refuse or hesitate to donate blood.
While any normal person has a platelet count of 1.4 lakh, Devasya's count went as down to 10,000. The count went on nosediving as he, a stranger to the city, could not find any donor.
�With death haunting him at every step, Devasya had to walk all the way from RCC to Statue, literally begging for blood. Finally, it was some good samaritans at a government office near Statue who went with him to donate blood. Thanks to them, Devasya is still alive.
�Devasya is just one among the hundreds who have to beg for blood, says the Voluntary Blood Donors Society based in Thampanoor. ''Most patients from outside the city have a huge problem obtaining blood. Obviously they cannot bring 5-6 donors from their hometown and their only option will be to buy blood from professional donors. It is a common scene to see patients pawn their gold ornaments for blood,'' said M S Renjith, secretary of the society.
�Those who have gold, pawn them. Those who don't, end up in tears. The only answer is to create more awareness and to dispel the fears connected with blood donation, say the office-bearers of the Voluntary Blood Donors Society.
�It is under these circumstances that the society has launched a 'Mission 2012' so as to make the demand and supply of safe blood to be equal by 2012. They also intend to create at least 50,000 blood donors in the state by December 2012.
�Mission 2012 has the support of various residents' associations and their apex body, the Federation of Residents Associations, Trivandrum. Apart from FRAT, the NCC, NSS, IMA, KESTKA, Corporation, Police Association, Sathya Sai Seva Sangham, VSSC, Sevabharathi and the BSS will also be backing the campaign.
�What is more, several cine stars, artists and politicians too have promised to campaign for blood donation. It will not be far off when the city will get to see posters of celebrities like Parvathy Omanakuttan, Bhama, Sujatha, G Venugopal, Jagadeesh, Suresh Gopi, V S Achuthanandan, Prithvi Raj, Indrajith, Mallika Sukumaran, Shashi Tharoor and even O Rajagopal urging you to donate blood.
�Those who would like to include their names in the blood donors register should contact telephone numbers 9895555632 or 9846873753 or by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

There's not much difference who's ready to run the ball behind the line when the Clovis Wildcat offense takes the field.
The line is set for the task.
"We've got to start up with a good push, make sure they have paths," said senior tackle Jared Burns. "We've got to make sure we're getting our jobs done."
The job never changes. Just ask Tommy Standefer.
A defensive lineman on the Clovis 1981 state champion team and its 1980 state runnerup, the current Alamogordo coach said he's always pretty amazed to see game film from a current Wildcat squad and remember so many things from when he played nearly two decades before.
"I think whenever you play a Clovis team, it's always the same thing — whoever's most physical," said Standefer, entering his third season coaching the Tigers. "All football games come down to that, but that seems to be a Clovis tradition."
An attack predicated on the run, and a pass every so often to keep the defense honest. Of course, that's also what Clovis expects from Alamogordo.
"They've got some athletes," Clovis assistant Darren Kelley said. "They've got two running backs (seniors Travis Canelo and Dwaundle Baker) that can go. Both of those guys can run."
Canelo is also a threat on defense, Kelley said, teaming up with junior Matt Vega for a tough linebacker tandem.
Kelley said a big key will be how Clovis handles the long road trip, especially early.
Traveling is part of challenge for any Clovis squad, Kelley often says, and a five-hour trip can't come back to hurt them in the first five minutes.
"We've got to be ready to handle the trip," Kelley said. "We've got to get focused and have the ability to come out and play those first series."
Burns, a 6-foot, 245-pound senior, said he likes the feeling of being in the helmet too much to let a road trip kill his spirits.
"At home, we get to relax a lot more," he said. "We know the field. You go on the road, and it's about the same — but you've got to get over being stiff (from the bus)."
Game day
Clovis (0-0) at Alamogordo (0-0)
When: 7 p.m. Friday
Radio: KCLV 1240 AM, 99.1 FM; KTQM 99.9 FM; KWKA 680 AM; KICA 98.3 FM.
Coaches: Clovis, Eric Roanhaus, 32nd season, 290-100-5; Alamogordo, Tommy Standefer, second year, 9-13.
Last meeting: 2008, Clovis established itself early offensively and defensively, taking advantage of early Tiger stumbles to secure a 41-7 victory.
Alamogordo players to watch: DE Christian Harris, Sr., 5-11, 215; RB Dwaundle Baker, 5-10, 185; LB Matt Vega, Jr., 5-10, 190.
Change in surface: Last year's home opener was the first time an artificial surface graced a Clovis Wildcat football home game. Friday is the last scheduled time this season Clovis will be on grass.
Clovis assistant Darren Kelley said it shouldn't matter because the Wildcats are used to practicing on grass. But it is a sign of the times.
"It's a changing (of the guard)," Kelley said. "But you'd think it would make sense for teams to go to turf when there's a water shortage in New Mexico."

After pushing the government to brink of shutdown last week, Republican Congressional leaders are now preparing to push America to the edge of default by refusing to increase the nation's debt limit without first getting Democrats to concede to large spending cuts.
But while the four Republicans in Congressional leadership positions are attempting to hold the increase hostage now, they combined to vote for a debt limit increase 19 times during the presidency of George W. Bush. In doing so, they increased the debt limit by nearly $4 trillion.
At the beginning of the Bush presidency, the United States debt limit was $5.95 trillion. Despite promises that he would pay off the debt in 10 years, Bush increased the debt to $9.815 trillion by the end of his term, with plenty of help from the four Republicans currently holding Congressional leadership positions: Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl. ThinkProgress compiled a breakdown of the five debt limit increases that took place during the Bush presidency and how the four Republican leaders voted:
June 2002: Congress approves a $450 billion increase, raising the debt limit to $6.4 trillion. McConnell, Boehner, and Cantor vote "yea", Kyl votes "nay."
May 2003: Congress approves a $900 billion increase, raising the debt limit to $7.384 trillion. All four approve.
November 2004: Congress approves an $800 billion increase, raising the debt limit to $8.1 trillion. All four approve.
March 2006: Congress approves a $781 billion increase, raising the debt limit to $8.965 trillion. All four approve.
September 2007: Congress approves an $850 billion increase, raising the debt limit to $9.815 trillion. All four approve.
Database searches revealed no demands from the four legislators that debt increases come accompanied by drastic spending cuts, as there are now. In fact, the May 2003 debt limit increase passed the Senate the same day as the $350 billion Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.
When Bush was in office, the current Republican leaders viewed increasing the debt limit as vital to keeping America's economy running. But with Obama in the White House, it's nothing more than a political pawn.

Just put your cursor over their Avatar, or name, then hover over the 'x' in the right hand corner of the box that comes up and you'll see "remove friendship". Click on it and that should remove them.

I went to my front page. Then I scrolled down to my friends, and I clicked on the "See all" thing. That took me to another page with all my friends shown. When I moved my cursor over the box of each friend, I saw an X come up - clicking on that X will remove that particular friend, I would think.
I did notice over the a last few days that SodaHead is not registering every "Thumbs Up" that I give someone, or at times it does it pretty slow. Like others have said, there may be some SodaHead issues they need to work out. - Arizona1950 2012/06/26 03:14:08

It won't matter to the profiteering ecan that ratepayers have to pick up the tab for cleaning our rivers and lakes up as it's part of the wealth transfer from us to them and their ilk.. dairy farmers never put in what they take out and that's what makes them the $$$. I remember swimming and drinking the selwyn water 20 years ago (before dairy) and that small sector is responsible for the widespread degradation of our rivers, the true cost of dairy will be it's downfall, but only if we all say "enough!" and have this industry comply to sustainable farming, not this rubbish PR of 'best farming practice' which really means absolutely nothing.. best environmental farming might be a better goal?? Cows crap 14 times as much as humans everyday but have no sewage system apart from the time they're in the shed... which dairy farmers still fail with! What a lot of crap heading into our waters!!

Canterbury water wonk wrote:
Very good treatment of a really hairy issue, but two errors of omission to point out. As one commenter wrote, foot hills-fed rivers in Canterbury frequently and naturally dry up during summer, as the water from their upper reaches infiltrates the ground and recharges the aquifer. This is particularly true of the Selwyn at SH1. That said, abstraction has indeed made these dry portions longer and more frequent. The other omission is that the Selwyn used to be artificially stocked with trout (a species as native to New Zealand as cows); this no longer happens. So comparing the 1960s with today is like comparing apples with oranges. And to respond to earlier comments: yes, human activity can cause earthquakes (we did so when we filled the Upper Waitaki hydro lakes, though too subtle for us to feel); but no, the abstraction of water across Canterbury wouldn't have the slightest effect on seismicity. Also, the best estimate of the irrigation requirement to produce 1 L of milk in Canterbury is about 250 L, based on an AgResearch study.

Not sure how many viewers would be aware that many Canterbury foothills rivers run dry in their middle section quite frequently. I've only been here a few years so am not sure what the rivers were like a generation ago, but I do know the Canterbury mudfish for one is adapted to cope with ephemeral (intermittently flowing) rivers.This did lead me to ask Fonterra once what the Clean Streams Accord stream definition meant for Canterbury - i.e. how many kilometres of river and stream met their definition of wider than a stride, deeper than a red band gumboot, when rivers as large as the Selwyn (catchment 700km2 or so) dry up - does that mean even the Selwyn doesn't need fencing out? They're reporting fencing out 90% of Canterbury streams (adjacent to dairy farms) but I can't tell what length that means. I never got an answer - follow up still required.

Really good story - who would ever believe that you could drive from ChCh to Ashburton and hardly see a sheep. it is all cows these days - it is putting all our eggs in one basket. Leave the cows in Southland, Waikato and the West Coast - and farm sheep on the plains ! It is so insane trying to dairy farm with the nor'westers and the stony base under the soil. The irrigator spreads the water, takes it out of our beautiful rivers and then it just drains away. I am camping at Coes Ford this weekend, on the Selwyn River, it is still lovely but the river is only half what it was 20 years ago. The other point is, that while we continue to flush down the toilet the same water that we drink out of the tap - we are just wasting it. Why on earth don't the councils get real about every household collecting grey water for the outside taps. No is our opportunity in Chch with all these new places being built - to make them all more enviornmentally friendly.

Awesome item team!! At last someone is exposing this sham about dairy being our great saviour. Let's hope more people wake up to the danger associated with this industry and the Key Joyce blind fixation with a fast buck off the back of 'cheap' milk. Three points for further consideration: 1. You didn't answer your own question 'who controls water management?' That would be the ECan commissars National put in to facilitate more unsustainable irrigation. 2. What's happening in Canterbury is about to be foisted on Otago, Wairarapa, Hawkes Bay...dairy development in the driest parts of the country! courtesy of Key and Joyce's $400 million taxpayer funded irrigation subsidy!!! 3. What impact is their negligent economic 'development' regime having on tourism - our largest and most important industry!? How much more damage can these idiots do to NZ and our reputation before Kiwis wake up.....

On the Waterrights Trust website there is a statistic saying that in 2009 there were consents to draw 290 Cubic Meters per Second from the Canterbury Plains Acqifer. Further, that long term this is expected to grow to 569 Cu Meters / Second. Refer - http://www.waterrightstrust.org.nz/pathway-to-disaster/ If one converts the 290 Cu M/s to say 10 years this works out to 91 Billion Tonnes of water. This is the same as a cube of water whose sides are each 4.5 Km in length. It is also observed that none of this water use in metered. When the first earthquake happened in September 2010, I thought it was a very strange place to have an earthquake. Since then it has been observed by the experts that the sequence of major earthquakes since have happened as a prolonged ongoing sequence of events which is unusual when compared with major earthquake events overseas. Refer http://www.3news.co.nz/Scientist-explains-strong-Christchurch-aftershocks/tabid/1160/articleID/270923/Default.aspx The questions I have are - 'Were these earthquakes caused by a change of Water Weight in the Plains Acqifier?' and 'Is it possible that this ongoing change in Water Weight will cause more earthquakes in the near future ?'. Maybe man can cause earthqakes after all !

Ever since I've been home things have been different. Stressful.

I just can't wait until things start to get better and I no longer have to stress over not having enough money, find a job, and the thousand other things on my long list of "To Do's". - Gone

Santiago de Cuba Province Attractions
The province of Santiago de Cuba is a naturally beautiful area with the rugged mountains of the Sierra Maestra running through this area of Cuba. The mountains provide a great place for hiking and contain some historical sites. This is where Fidel Castro located his headquarters during the Revolution, a site that is now open to visitors.However, the main highlight of Santiago de Cuba province is the capital city, also called Santiago de Cuba. It is one of the oldest cities in the country and full of culture. The July Carnival is an event to be experienced if yourcalendar permits.
Parque Baconao
Parque Baconao spans across the provinces of Santiago de Cuba and Guantanamo, and lies between the town of Santiago de Cuba and the Rio Baconao. The park is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The area encompasses mountains and coastal plains with scattered gold sand beaches.Along the main highway that runs near the coast through the Parque Baconao are a number of unique attractions, including museums, outdoor natural history exhibits, artists communities, a small amusement park for children, an aquarium, and more. Inland visitors will find coffee plantations, as well as the Laguna Baconao where travelers can hire boats for tours around this inland lake.The Parque Baconao has a variety of accommodation options and facilities for travelers.
Coffee Plantations (Cafetal La Isabelica)
In the area of the Gran Piedra in Parque Baconao are a number of abandoned coffee plantations. All of the coffee plantations in this area have been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. One plantation in particular, the Cafetal La Isabelica, is in relatively good repair and is slated for renovations with the hopes of being turned into a museum. It was owned by Victor Constantin who left Cuba at the end of the 18th Century. It's possible to walk to the Cafetal La Isabelica coffee plantation from the base of the Grand Piedra, following a walking trail. At the plantation visitors can learn about the process of coffee growing.
Gran Piedra (Jardin Botanico)
The drive to Gran Piedra, though a little hair raising, is worth the effort for the fantastic view that awaits. A 12km / 7mi road winds up through the mountains from the main coastal road in Parque Baconao, to the Jardin Botanico. The Jardin Botanico has a variety of orchids and other plants and is a pleasant place to walk. From the end of the Jardin Botanico is a seemingly never ending set of stairs that leads up the Gran Piedra. From the top are wonderful views over the mountains and coastal plains.The area is sometimes hazy in the afternoons so for the best views try to reach the top during the morning hours.
Valle de la Prehistoria
Near the Museo Nacional de Transports in Parque Baconao is the Valle de la Prehistoria. This complex displays concrete life size recreations of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures, along with cave men. The Valle de la Prehistoria is spread out over 11 hectares and makes a good stop for anyone with children. It may be a good idea to go early due to the lack of shade that can make the park feel quite hot. If you don't feel like stopping you can still get a good glimpse of the Valle de la Prehistoria from the main road.Also on site here is the Museo de Historia Natural with natural history displays.
Aquario Baconao
The Aquario Baconao, on the coast near the east end of Parque Baconao, is a nice diversion. The aquarium has a good collection of marine life, with sharks, sea lions, dolphins, and fish. There is a regular dolphin show that runs at various times throughout the day. For an additional fee visitors can get wet and swim with the dolphins. The Aquario Baconao also has a fish tunnel that guests can walk through for a close up look at the fish swimming by. The sharks are kept in a separate tank but viewing is included with the price of admission.
Granjita Siboney
Granjita Siboney is the farmhouse rented by some of the rebels of the July 26, 1953 attack on the barracks at Santiago de Cuba. Abel Santamaria used this house as a base to plan the attack. Following the tragic event, this house was attacked by Batista's police. Today Granjita Siboney is a museum with information on the attack, as well as personal items of some of the men involved, and weapons. The front entrance of the museum shows bullet holes to recreate the scene that followed the attack, although these are not the original bullet holes.

That's how I feel, Nerwin…
Good morning, LB.
From yesterday: We go at least three times a year. The traffic is a whole lot better than Los Angeles or Chicago.
Only at an airport Nerwin.
MARG! I noticed the other day that you can travel
to Peoria without even leaving AZ.. -
I used to hand flight attendants my pocket knife when they had trouble with a sealed box of soft drinks. They were pleased to have the help.
Amazing, huh?
No security in the Enchanted Forest,Nerwin.
The so called "security" at airports is so easily defeated by someone that is willing to try it is sad. Most people don't have a clue. A body cavity search and X-ray would be needed on each person. C-4 can be shaped like poop….
Or simply be dressed as a muslim and they will escort you past security so as to not offend you.
After a while you truly look forward to the cavity check.
Nerwin, you'll also have to go through that "body scanner".
Winder what you look like underneath the fur, LOL. -
Welcome to 1984! The Government is already flying trial balloons about full body cavity searches for would-be air passengers. And more than a third of those polled were thrilled at the idea of improved "security."
If the molesters down at the TSA had their way, yes.
Yep, it'sa Surprize.

Redskins' Griffin Has Two Knee Ligaments Repaired, Surgeon Says
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III had two right-knee ligaments surgically repaired today.
James Andrews, the surgeon who performed the operation, said in a statement on the National Football League team's website that Griffin had a "direct repair" of the lateral collateral ligament and a "re-do" of previous surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament.
"We expect a full recovery and it is everybody's hope and belief that due to Robert's high motivation, he will be ready for the 2013 season," Andrews said.
