A tropical vegetable, cucumbers thrive when the weather is hot and water is plentiful. Plants are so frost-tender that they shouldn't be set into the garden until soil temperatures are reliably in the 70-degree range (no less than 2 weeks after the last frost date).
Cucumber plants grow in 2 forms: vining and bush. Vines scramble along the ground or clamber up trellises, while bush types, such as Burpless Bush Hybrid, form a more compact plant. Generally, vining cucumbers yield more fruit throughout the growing season. Bush selections are especially suited to containers and small gardens. You can increase the season's yield of bush varieties by planting several crops in succession 2 weeks apart. Lemon cucumber makes a wild, lanky vine. It needs a tall trellis.
Whether you want a cucumber for slicing or pickling, there's a variety to suit your taste. Lemon cucumber offers smaller fruits perfect for a single serving, while Boston Pickling boasts classic heirloom taste. The long Armenian cucumber is a specialty ethnic cucumber prized for taste and the fact that a single cucumber yields so many slices.
Cucumbers need warm, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8, although they will tolerate a bit more alkaline soil to 7.6. Work compost or composted manure into soil.If you want to grow cucumbers in rows on the ground, create hills like you do for squash spaced 4 feet apart. Space 2 to 3 transplants per hill, setting seedlings 6 inches apart. For vines trained on a trellis, space plants 1 foot apart. If you have 2-3 plants in one biodegradable Bonnie pot, then you can plant the whole pot on one hill and let the plants grow together from that spot.
In areas where spring is long and cool, you can warm the soil 3 to 4 degrees by covering the hill or row with black plastic.If you do not plant in black plastic, then mulch with pine straw, wheat straw, chopped leaves, or your favorite organic mulch shortly after planting. If the weather is unseasonably cool, you can wait a while to mulch until the ground is warmed by the sun. Mulch is especially important to keep the fruit clean for bush types and vines not growing on a trellis. Straw mulch is also thought to be uncomfortable for slugs and creates an uneasy footing for cucumber beetles, helping to keep them at bay.
If you can, trellis your vines. This keeps the fruit clean and saves space. A 12- to 18-inch diameter cage made from 4- or 5-foot welded wire fencing or hog wire will support 2 or 3 vines. Wire is easy for the tentrils of climbing cucumbers to grab as the plant grows.
Cucumbers grow fast and don't demand a lot of care. Just keep the soil consistently moist with an inch of water per week—more if temperatures sizzle and rain is scarce. Inadequate or inconsistent moisture causes oddly shaped or poor-tasting fruit. If possible, water your cucumbers with a soaker hose or drip irrigation to keep the foliage dry. This helps prevent leaf diseases that can ruin the plant.
You can fertilize with a liquid food every 2 weeks, applying it directly to soil around plant stems. Or you can use a granular, slow-release fertilizer worked into the soil when you plant or sprinkled around the plants later.
If vines bloom but don't fruit, something is probably interfering with pollination. First, make sure that you see both male and female blooms. Male blooms usually appear first and then drop off, so don't be alarmed if this happens when the plant begins to bloom. Nothing is wrong. Within a week or two, female flowers will also appear; they have a small cucumber-shaped swelling at the base that will become a cucumber; male blooms don't and they fall off after a day. Cold weather, rain, and insecticides that kill bees can hamper pollination. You can't change the weather, but do avoid spraying or dusting a pesticide toxic to bees; this is always stated on the product label. Also consider planting bee balm, zinnias, lantana, and other flowers that attract bees to the edges of your garden. Planting a row of these is also a great way to have flowers on hand for cutting. Several pests bother cucumbers. Squash bugs may attack seedlings. Slugs like ripening fruit. Aphids can colonize leaves and buds. Straw mulch helps keep slugs at bay, as can trellising vines to get the fruit off the ground. Vines are also bothered by cucumber beetles, which chew holes in leaves and flowers and scar stems and fruits, but worse than that, they spread a disease that causes the plants to wilt and die. Powdery mildew is a disease that leaves white, mildew-like patches on the leaves. Apply fungicides at the first sign of its presence. To minimize disease spread, avoid harvesting or handling vines when leaves are wet.
You can pick cucumbers whenever they're big enough to use. Check vines daily as the fruit starts to appear because they enlarge quickly. Vines produce more fruit the more you harvest. To remove the fruit, use a knife or clippers, cutting the stem above the fruit. Pulling them may damage the vine.Don't let the cucumbers get oversized or they will be bitter and will also keep the vine from producing more. Overripe fruit has hard seeds that are difficult to chew. Yellowing at the bottom (blossom end) of a cucumber signals overripe, bitter fruit. Never leave overripe fruit on the vine just because it is too far gone. Remove it.Harvest lemon cucumbers just before they begin turning yellow. Although they are called lemon cucumber becuase the little oblong or round fruits turn yellow and look like a lemon, by the time the fruit turns yellow it may be a little too seedy for most tastes.
You can keep harvested cucumbers in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days, using as soon as possible after picking. If you don't eat a slicing cucumber all at once, cover the unused portion in plastic wrap to prevent dehydration in the refrigerator. In fact, it's a good idea to wrap your whole cucumbers in plastic or store them in a zipper bag in the fridge. Remember that store bought cucumbers are waxed to keep them from losing moisture. Yours aren't. Keeping them in wrap or a plastic zipper bag will keep them crisp longer.

In recent years, health care fraud and abuse have become major issues, in part because of the rising cost of health care, industry consolidation, the emergence of private "whistle-blowers," and a change in the concept of fraud to include an emerging concern about quality of care. The 3 types of conduct that are generally prohibited by health care fraud laws are false claims, kickbacks, and self-referrals. False claims are subject to several criminal, civil, and administrative prohibitions, notably the federal civil False Claims Act. Kickbacks, or inducements with the intent to influence the purchase or sale of health care–related goods or services, are prohibited under the federal Anti-Kickback statute as well as by state laws. Finally, self-referrals—the referral of patients to an entity with which the referring physician has a financial relationship—are outlawed by the Ethics in Patient Referral Act as well as numerous state statutes. Consequences of violations of these laws can include, in addition to imprisonment and fines, civil monetary penalties, loss of licensure, loss of staff privileges, and exclusion from participation in federal health care programs. Federal criminal and civil statutes are enforced by the US Department of Justice; administrative actions are pursued by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General; and all state actions are pursued by the individual states. In addition, private whistle-blowers may, acting in the name of the United States, file suit against an entity under the False Claims Act. Enforcement of health care fraud and abuse laws has become increasingly commonplace and now affects many mainstream providers. This trend is likely to continue.

Takeyce Walter is truly inspired by the landscape. This is ever apparent when standing before any of her paintings. Walter's paintings, both large and small, present the landscape of the northeast in all its glory. There is a great sense of calm, peace, and stillness in each piece.
Many of the paintings feature the rural landscape of upstate New York, the Adirondacks, and Vermont. Walter is especially inspired by the Hudson, Mohawk and Ausable rivers.
Takeyce Walter is a painter whose return to painting in 2005 has been documented on a self-published blog, aptly named; A Fine Art Blog (http://takeyceart.com/blog). She made a commitment to finishing at least one painting a week and started blogging to help track her progress. Many years later, Takeyce has maintained that commitment and is currently producing art on a regular basis. Her work is emerging, and pouring forth in these prolific years.
In addition to exhibiting her paintings online, she also exhibits in local venues. Her art has found homes in many private collections locally, nationally, and internationally.
"True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist." Albert Einstein
I am inspired. The beauty found in nature often overwhelms me, and I am driven by that irresistible urge to capture that beauty and share it with others.
My recent work reflects the beauty I see in the natural landscape around me. I am most inspired by, and drawn to quiet and calming scenes. The paintings are of places I've experienced with all of my senses, composed with intent to recreate the wonderful impressions left upon me.
I have a deep love and appreciation for the open spaces of the Northeast, and upstate New York; where I call home. I especially love the rivers, lakes, and mountains of the Adirondacks.
My process of creating art is nourishing, energizing and draining all at once. My goal when starting a painting is to capture the impression that a place has left on me. I need not lay down every blade of grass, to capture the mood and atmosphere that originally drew me to a composition. I lay down as little or as much paint needed to invoke that sweet memory of the initial experience.
I am inspired, and I hope that my work inspires others to see the beauty around us.
Creating art is something that I have always been drawn to. It's an integral part of who I am as a person. For too many years creating art was put aside. In 2005, I committed to making art a part of my daily life. Inspired by the other artist bloggers, and the original Daily Painters, I started this blog as a way to be accountable to that commitment. I thought, if they could paint and post a painting every day, I should be able to find a little time to paint at least once a week! I haven't looked back since.
Through this blog, I have connected with so many wonderful and inspiring artists and art lovers. I've seen my work grow and evolve. I am inspired.
ABOUT THE WORK – Paint and Pastels
I work with both pastels and oil paint. I have an equal affinity for both mediums. Each serves its purpose.
OILS: I use a variety of professional grade oils. My palette consists of roughly 6 – 10 colors including Titanium White, Alizarin Crimson, French Ultramarine, Cad Orange, Cad Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Manganese Violet, and Phthalo Blue.
Oil paintings have been around for centuries. Oils can be hung framed or unframed. A rule of thumb is to never hang your original art in direct sunlight. You can dust your painting every so often with a soft dry cloth. This will keep thick layers of dust from building up on the surface of the painting.
I use professional archival grade paints, and grounds. Most of my oil paintings are done on canvas and at times GessoBord. I don't usually varnish my work, but can do so if you would like.
PASTELS: Pastels have also been around for centuries. They have been used by notable old masters such as Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin, Edgar Degas, and Mary Cassatt as well as modern masters Wolf Kahn, and Daniel Greene.
Pastels are made from the same pigments used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints. Instead of oils, a binding agent is added to the pigments to create a chalk-like stick, which is applied to a textured surface, usually paper. Pastels are available in an array of colors, and many paintings done centuries ago still maintain their original vibrancy today.
I am a huge fan of pastels because of its immediacy. No mixing colors, or waiting for paint to dry. I use acid free sanded paper/panel as my ground – Colorfix Art Spectrum paper, PastelBord, or Sennelier pastel card.
Pastels should never be placed in direct sunlight or in any areas prone to excessive moisture. I do not use a fixative on my finished paintings, so they should be handled very carefully. To avoid smudging, never touch the surface of the painting. Pastels should be framed under glass to protect the finished painting from damage. I recommend museum UV glass. It's glare free, and virtually invisible allowing the art to be seen from any angle. Pastels can be framed with, or without a mat using spacers to separate the art from the glass.
I am happy to frame any painting – oil or pastel. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email.

Comment on this artist |
La Roux
La Roux is a British electro / pop duo. They rose to fame in 2009, when they were selected as part of the BBC's annual 'Sound of.' poll. The female pop singer Little Boots won the overall vote. La Roux is comprised of Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid. The band has cited Heaven 17, Yazoo and The Human League as influences.
La Roux: The Members
Elly Jackson was born on 8th March 1988, to the actress Trudie Goodwin (aka June Ackland in the Bill). Elly grew up in Herne Hill, London and was bullied at school, to the point where she almost left at the age of eight.
Jackson's love of music stemmed from listening to the likes of Nick Drake and Carole King, which she found in her parents' record collections. Whilst studying at Tabor Academy in the USA, she experimented with both folk and electronic music. Elly Jackson started a degree at the University of Nottingham but left in order to follow her music career.
On a personal level, Elly Jackson has referred to Molly Ringwald, Madonna and Annie Lennox as influences on her style. Her haircut has been compared to the hairstyles of the 1980s pop band A Flock of Seagulls.
Ben Langmaid is a London-based producer. He has previously worked with Rollo Armstrong of Faithless. Ben and Rollo attended the same school together and they formed an act called Huff & Puff in the 1990s.
Langmaid has also used the pseudonyms Atomic and Huff & Herb.
The other touring members of La Roux include Michael Norris on keys and computers, William Bowerman on drums and Mickey O'Brien on keys and backing vocals. O'Brien also performs as Ladyburden.
La Roux: Career
Langmaid and Jackson were introduced by a mutual friend in 2006. Their first project was called Automan and consisted mainly of acoustic music.
La Roux's first single, 'Quicksand' was originally released by Kitsune Music. The band were then signed to Polydor Records, who released their debut album.
The second single from La Roux was 'In For The Kill'. Released in March 2009, Skream's remix of the single also became hugely popular. Polydor then released 'Bulletproof' as a single, before releasing the album, entitled La Roux.
In March 2009, La Roux were chosen as the main tour support on Lily Allen's tour. They also headlined the NME Radar Tour, supported by Magistrates, Heartbreak and The Chapman Family.
When La Roux went to America, they performed live on The Jimmy Kimmel Live show.
The album La Roux was nominated for the 2009 Mercury Music Prize, along with The Horrors, Kasabian, Bat For Lashes and Florence and the Machine. They lost out to Big Dada's new signing Speech Debelle.

A couple of weeks ago, I opened up a booth selling Ardell Eyelashes at the Exhibition Hall in Wisma Sime Darby, Kuala Lumpur. Initially, I thought that people would love to buy the eyelashes since there are lots of professionals who work there. However, to my surprise, the sales were not good as most visitors were saying that they don't know how to use them and some even say that they never heard the Ardell brand.
Wow, there are people who don't know Ardell???… not knowing MOD eyelashes is acceptable but Ardell?… these Ardell lashes are much reasonably priced compared to the MAC or Shiseido.
Anyway, you might want to know what is so special about Ardell eyelashes than other cheaper brand. Well, Ardell eyelashes are made of 100% European Human Hair. It has vast choices with different styles of eyelashes, soft and invisible band which looks really natural on your eyes.
Personally, I love Ardell eyelashes so much. It is easier to handle. I did try cheaper brands where you could get it from Sinma but they are not the same coz they are harder and a bit difficult to stick it on your eyelids. Furthermore, it looks fake.
My eyes look gorgeous and big too (I have small eyes, probably due to my chinese hereditary). So, even when the photo is taken from far, my eyes could still be seen… .hahaha…
How about you?? Do you like to wear faux eyelashes??? What brand do you like???

FIRE SCHOOL HELDfrom Eyewitness News Online Firefighters Trained In Harts Reported by: Dan Matics Videographer: Dan Matics Web Producer: Dan Matics Reported: Feb. 18, 2012 6:42 PM EST Updated: Feb. 18, 2012 6:48 PM EST
, Lincoln County
, West Virginia
Firefighters were busy in Lincoln County, Saturday, with several fires, but don't panic, it was only a test! The West Virginia Fire Service Extension and the Harts Volunteer Fire department held a fire school to train the next generation of firefighters. They used simulators to fight real world fires. Brian Greco, instructor, said it was a way for him to give back. "I've been a firefighter since I can remember," Greco said. "To be able to pass something on, makes me feel good at the end of the day." MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

Claudine Longet: Aspen's Femme Fatale
By Robert Chalmers"Claudine who?" Just for a moment I assumed that the journalist sitting at his keyboard in the front office of the Aspen Times had to be joking. Exactly how many aspects of Claudine Longet's extraordinary life could have passed him by? Her performance as the female lead, opposite Peter Sellers, in Blake Edwards' 1968 film The Party? The mercilessly derisive song "Claudine", written about her by the Rolling Stones? Her close friendship with Bobby Kennedy, whose company she was in at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on the night of his shooting, on 5 June 1968?

New TV Store Comes to Lakeville Crossing Promising Low Prices
No Box TVs—a television specialty store—recently moved from St. Paul to Lakeville.
Need a new television? Maybe HD? Don't want to pay big-box prices? Apparently Lakeville has a new kind of store for you. No Box TVs, an outlet store that claims to sell televisions for less than the Targets, Walmarts and Best Buys of the world, recently moved from St. Paul to Lakeville—filling a new 1,721-square-foot store at Lakeville Crossing. According to the Star Tribune, Jeff Brett, the owner of No Box TVs, moved the store seeking to "find an area with a stronger consumer economy prompted the relocation." According to the report, the store gets merchandise from businesses that deal in surplus goods and products. The ones who have boxes—not the TVs—damaged during shipping and from returns from big-box stores. Brett told the Star …

One of the recently discovered materials is silicone. This material derived from silicon, earned its name in early 1940s. Silicon is a chemical element available in nature. It finds wide applications because of its many useful features, most important of which is its capacity to withstand very high temperatures. Its other helpful characteristics are resistance to water, oxygen and ultra violet rays too.
Silicone is a highly malleable substance with self-sealing and healing properties that encourage its use as an adhesive. Many modern processes of making a number of products depend on silicone adhesives.
Silicone adhesives offer better flexibility than most other adhesives and last longer. These adhesives are able to establish a surface-to-surface bond, prompting their use as heavy duty adhesive.
Perhaps there is no better adhesive for joining of glass to glass than Silicone. That's why it's so widely used for making of glass tanks and aquariums. Most decorative items made of glass use silicone adhesive.
Because of its capacity to bear extremes of temperatures, silicone is employed for heavy duty bonding in construction industry. Another important application of silicone adhesives is for joining of materials that are exposed to severe elements like sunlight, rain and cold winters. Most conventional sealants and adhesives are unable to bear such severe temperature fluctuations.
Silicone adhesives are also used as curing agents as these activate the bonding properties of the curing system. An example will be of their being used in radiation curing process, and also for thermosetting processes. Silicone adhesives may also be used at room temperature for vulcanizing applications.
Silicone adhesives are often used for creating pieces of art. This sort of adhesive is just right for joining acrylic to glass and glass to other materials used for making artful items. Silicone is a transparent odorless material and is therefore used wherever a transparent adhesive is needed. However, it needs a special caulking gun.

Skeleton Europa Cup wraps up in Winterberg
WINTERBERG, Germany (Jan. 15, 2012)-The skeleton Europa Cup tour wrapped up with double races in Winterberg, Germany this weekend. Despite not medaling this weekend, U.S. coach Brian McDonald was pleased with how the team performed, especially considering that three of the four athletes racing are only in their first competitive season.
"Sliding in Europe was a wonderful learning experience for this team," McDonald said. "They had to learn new tracks with limited runs and less than ideal conditions. Our development program is going to reap huge benefits in the years to come. We're fortunate to have this talented a class of up and coming athletes, and it's a humbling experience as a coach to be able to help contribute to their development."
Mike Dellemann (Oregon, Wisc.) posted the top finishes for the U.S. team after finishing 12th and eighth in the men's races.
"Even though I was less prepared than I was hoping for, I was trying to be as confident as possible," Dellemann said. "I hope I can carry what I learned here on my first trip to Europe for the rest of the season and next."
Dellemann made a few mistakes in the first race and clocked a total time of 1:58.21 to finish outside of the top 10, but he made corrections and moved up four spots with a combined time of 1:55.86 in today's competition.
"Unfortunately, I made a mistake at the top which dropped me back on the first run of the first race, but I ended up fixing it thanks to Brian's help and moved up a little," Dellemann said. "I was much more ready for the second race and was very happy with where I was sitting. I laid it all on the line in the final run and was happy with it all."
Brad Stewart (Hastings, Minn.) pushed out of the start grooves in the first race and was unable to make up time down the short Winterberg course. Stewart finished 14th with a two-run total of 1:58.38.
"I had a decent second run, but I was in a pretty big hole and only moved up a spot," Stewart said. "I'm starting to like the track, but I wasn't quite able to make the corrections I needed in time for race day with only four training runs. Like elsewhere in Europe, inclement weather has been the enemy this trip. While I'd been here before, I felt like I was relearning the track with my new equipment along with the rest of the U.S. sliders."
While Stewart wanted redemption in today's race, he opted to sit out. The international federation announced earlier this week that athletes ranked fourth, 8th and 12th in Europa Cup standings after this weekend would be invited to homologate the track in Sochi, Russia in March. Stewart's best shot to qualify would be to earn fewer points by missing today's race and dropping to 12th overall.
"Based on yesterday's result and my current point standings, we felt like there was a chance that I could finish 12th if I didn't race," Stewart said. "I felt like the tradeoff of missing a race versus getting access to Sochi for the U.S. program as a whole would be much more beneficial for our program in the long run. Unfortunately, I ended up with a few points too many and finished 11th overall. It was a gamble and didn't pay off, but I think it was worth the risk."
"My hat goes off to Brad for sitting this race out," McDonald said. "That really says a lot when an athlete is willing to sacrifice for the good of the team, and I can't thank him enough for his efforts to help."
Canadian Dave Greszczyszyn finished just 0.05 seconds ahead of Germany's Christopher Grotheer to claim gold in the first race with a two-run total of 1:56.03. Dorin Velicu from Romania posted 1:56.19 for third.
Dominic Parsons from Great Britain was victorious in the second race in another close race that came down to the hundredths of a second. Parsons claimed gold with a total time of 1:54.61, while Grotheer again finished second with a combined time of 1:54.67. German David Lingmann claimed the third medal for the host nation in the men's races after finishing 0.56 seconds behind his teammate for third.
The U.S. women struggled to mesh with the track and were unable to post top 10 finishes. Megan Henry (Roxbury, Conn.) finished 16th and 17th, while Meghan Sullivan (Bluemont, Va.) was 20th both days.
"Even though my overall finish was the same for both races, I had my fastest runs of the week and a personal record push during the second race," Sullivan said "I was hoping for a better finish overall, but I have to take the good with the bad."
Henry posted total times of 2:01.73 and 2:00.77 in the two race series, while Sullivan finished in 2:03.98 and 2:01.80. While the women were disappointed with their finishes, they were grateful for the sliding experience on the European tracks.
"The results may not sound great, but considering it was our first time on this track, I'm happy and look forward to coming back here," Henry said. "I made improvements every heat here, which was my goal. These tracks are different than where I learned in Lake Placid, N.Y., and they are deceiving because they seem really easy, but it's difficult to find speed and make corrections when mistakes aren't blatantly obvious. I have definitely learned a lot on both tracks in Europe, especially with Brian's guidance."
British athlete Rose McGrandle was victorious by just 0.03 seconds in the first competition after clocking a combined time of 1:59.43. Canadian Cassie Hawrysh claimed silver, while Australian Melissa Hoar nabbed bronze with a total time of 1:59.49.
Hawrysh improved her performance the second day to claim gold with a two-run total of 1:57.82. Sophia Griebel secured the only medal for the host nation in the women's races after posting a combined time of 1:57.86 for second place. Svetlana Vasilyeva from Russia earned bronze with a total time of 1:58.00.
"It was actually very cool to see Cassie step up and take gold today," Henry said. "She had some solid performances that shocked some Intercontinental Cup people competing in these races, which I hope to emulate in the future."
The squad will return to the U.S. to prepare for national championships in Lake Placid this spring, where they will test their new skills against the national team. For media inquiries, please contact Amanda Bird, USBSF Marketing & Communications Manager, at email@example.com, or at (518) 354-2250.

The slavery happening on our doorsteps is a collective problem
Back in September 2011 a police raid on a travellers' site in Bedfordshire uncovered a story that left many of us perplexed. It was revealed that a well-organised operation to turn rough-sleepers into modern-day slaves had been taking place. At the time, and according to the Thames Reach charity, more than 20 eastern and central European immigrants had ran away from similar gangs and contacted them searching for help and shelter.
The Bedfordshire gang in particular seems to have run a profitable business. Once the homeless victims were picked up and promised jobs and good money, they were kidnapped – literally – and forced to live a life of servitude, isolated from the rest of the world, separated from their families and friends, thrown into crammed accommodations, and ordered to do hazardous and backbreaking jobs for the rest of their lives.
The fact that all this was going on for years under the gaze of Bedfordshire police is difficult to digest, but in all fairness blaming the police would be a very easy route in this case. Bedfordshire residents who hired the services of these men must have come across their enslaved workers repeatedly during this time, and yet, somehow they failed to make enough noise about it to attract the attention of the authorities. Fellow travellers who might have been aware of this situation also failed to come forward and denounce what was going on, although one can guess than fear may have stopped them from doing so.
The fact of the matter is that the failing was a collective one, and that it happened on our doorsteps. Usually when we discuss modern day forms of slavery we tend to look at the developing world for examples (Mauritania, the Philippines, or Haiti, to mention but a few) when slavery is obviously sometimes much closer to home.
As Thames Reach rightly noticed back in 2011 this is far from being an isolated case. Not long ago the BBC reported about similar gangsters who taking advantage of the elderly and the vulnerable, had been doing something similar to the Bedfordshire gang, but instead of keeping their victims in England, they were "exporting" them to other European countries like Sweden and Belgium, where they were being subjected to similar conditions.
In 2009 it was reported, also by the BBC, that young women from Eastern Europe were being tricked into coming to England, where they were then sold off in auctions at airport coffee shops upon their arrival. And, predictably, Britain is not alone; modern day slavery is a problem that affects every day more and more countries across the world.
Although the term "modern day slavery" tends to prevail, in reality there are other forms of unfree labour that perhaps don't receive as much attention but that continue to plague both the developed and developing worlds. Among them we can find frequent cases of bonded labour, child labour used to produce clothes for several Western high street brands, and prison labour.
The Bedfordshire gang case has provided us with the inescapable proof, and truth, that some of the people we may come across in the streets of our cities and towns may be having a terrible experience that we can barely imagine.
What the case has also revealed is that just because slavery was abolished more than two centuries ago, it doesn't mean it is something that's confined to the history books. The new legislation passed in 2010 that allowed the government to take on these slave traffickers and owners should have been in place a long time ago. Bedfordshire police should have acted as soon as the first slave escaped from the camp, and those who hired the services of this gang should have paid attention to who the people laying down the cobbles on their driveways were.
Stopping instances like this from happening again is in our hands; it is our common and shared responsibility to ensure that human trafficking and slave ownership are abolished once and for all.

- Judicial Council Accepts Final Report (April 26, 2013)
- Trial Court Funding Workgroup Releases Final Report (Apr 18, 2013)
- Workgroup to Evaluate Progress on Trial Court Funding (Nov 2, 2012)
Conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the state's progress in achieving the goals
outlined in the Lockyer-Isenberg Trial Court Funding Act of 1997.
The Trial Court Funding Workgroup has concluded its efforts to determine how the state has progressed since the Trial Court Funding Act, to ascertain whether the goals of the Trial Court Funding Act have been met, and to propose options to the Judicial Council to effectively meet and maintain the goals of state-funded trial court system and enhancing transparency and accountability. The workgroup's report, including findings and recommendations, will be presented to the Judicial Council on April 26, 2013.
The workgroup concluded that that the judicial branch has substantially complied with the Trial Court Funding Act. However, the judicial branch must continue to work to ensure that litigants across the state have equal access to justice and that funding for the branch is allocated in a manner that promotes greater access. The report contains 18 recommendations for consideration by the Judicial Council. Among other continuing work set forth in detail in the recommendations, the workgroup recommends that the branch identify and consider implementing efficiencies and best practices more uniformly, and adopt appropriate measures to assess improvements in providing access to justice for all Californians.
This collaborative effort between the judicial and executive branches was a successful approach to tackling these long-standing, complex issues facing the judiciary.

Beautiful. Blue Nile always provides quality and satisfaction.
Lovely earrings. They seem to be a tad light in weight, although this also makes them more comfortable. The clasps are not as tight as I would like, but this can be remedied by a local jeweler. I wear medium-sized, white gold hoops virtually 24/7. Just lost one of my last pair (cruise ship purchase several years ago). Relieved to find an affordable source for replacement.
right size , right color
Perfect size - just what I wanted. I have white gold hoops that are a little bigger in diameter and thickness, and they are just too heavy for my ears. I have sensitive ears, and I can't even tell I'm wearing these earrings because they are so comfortable. And of course the quality is top-notch - the clasp is secure, and no earring escapes have occured. Exactly what I expected from Blue Nile.
A little thin, with a little less substance than I would like. Still nice earrings

Inside, it's mostly still the same trusty Innova that we've known over the years, but the four-spoke steering wheel with audio controls, restyled intrument panel, and wood trims with added silver accents are welcome changes. Plus, they've upgraded the headunit to a 2-DIN CD/MP3 player with an aux port to keep it up to date. There's also a slight change done to the A/C controls that only the keenest of eyes would notice. And just like before, this MPV comes with eight- or seven- (captain second row seats for the V grade) seater configurations.
No changes were made under the hood of the Innova for 2012. You'll find the same 2.0L four-cylinder VVT-i gasoline and 2.5L four-cylinder D-4D diesel engines that come with either a 4-speed auto or 5-speed manual transmission.
Proudly Philippine-made at TMP's plant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, the new 2012 Innova now comes in eight colors: Silver Metallic, Black, Bronze Mica Metallic, Super White II, Beige Metallic, Light Blue Mica Metallic, White Pearl, and the most striking shade of all, the new Red Mica Metallic.
The new Toyota Innova is available in four grades (J, E, G, and V); and when combined with the engine and transmission options, sums up to a whopping 12 total variants all in all.
Since its introduction in 2005, the Innova dominated the CV segment with over 70,000 examples roaming on Philippine roads today. For more information on the new 2012 Toyota Innova, log on to www.toyota.com.ph, contact Toyota's Customer Assistance Center at 819 2912, or visit any of the 31 authorized Toyota dealers nationwide.

Quick Getaway in Boracay
The picturesque white sand beach of Boracay is surely an odd place to launch your latest MPV. But in reality, our relaxing overnight stay is actually just a small part of Toyota's week-long teambuilding and training activity for about 900 of their salesforce. Still, we made the most out of our 24 hour stay on the island where we were bunked in nothing less than the extravagant haven of Discovery Shores. Thank you TMP for the wonderful vacation!

Hey KR Family!!! I have cabin on deck 8 for sale!!! I'm going....jut have extra cabin. Only want what I paid Sixthman!! Come on & bring it!!!!
You HAVE to go thru sixthman to organize your booking, otherwise if a cabin is not going to be used it goes to the next on the list! Do NOT do anything before you talk to sixthman and register. DON'T GET SCAMMED!!
Sorry Shelley if my earlier extreme excitement at the opportunity you so generously offered was a bit over the top...I got really caught up in the possibility that my dream could come true, but sorry, my lottery ticket didn't pan out. Bummer for me, but I'll keep on keepin' on. If something changes I'll post here...if you haven't already sold your ticket maybe we could still work something out. I didn't want to imply I wouldn't have your back on the cruise. You'd be my roomie and I'm the kinda gal who watches out for people (hence the maybe over the top comment of babysitting - can you tell I need a vacation? lol). I apologize if my words may have in any way offended you. That was not at all my intention...I was actually looking to reassure you of my non-high maintenance, non-difficult, don't worry about any stress or tension from me characteristics...megafail? I'm also not intending on any girls gone wild sorta stuff that would make you feel uncomfortable in your own room. I know enough about the cruise and I don't judge, but that sorta stuff ain't me either. I'm not a prude, or anything, I just don't do it myself. I'm just looking to kick back, relax, listen to music, and hang with good peeps. Ummm...as far as the not knowing each other roomie thing goes, I'll say when I came out to Montana from Wisconsin to go to school, I didn't know a soul here. I'd answered an online add of a room for rent, she accepted, and I moved in. We lived together almost the whole school year until she moved to Arizona. We spent good times together. We never had one fight. We communicated well so things didn't flare up between us...so based on that I'm thinking we could make it 4 days :)
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Pick Me, Pick Me, Pick Me!!! Please? Pretty Please? Pretty Pretty Pretty Please with Sugar on top? ;) Am I the first to respond? Oooo, I hope so!!! This sounds IDEAL!!! I've been wanting to go, desperately, but it's just little ol' me & I wouldn't want to take up a double room taking it from others who want to go. I'm an adventurous, I entertain myself quite well on my own am way not clingy socializing having a good time kinda gal...no worries about me...I've been called a lot of things in my life but never high maintenance or difficult...I like to chill, laugh, have a good time...it'd be my first time ever on a cruise but isn't that what this whole thing is about?...chillin, not stressin...man, I've had enough of that for my lifetime...changin' my ways I am :) ...How 'bout you Shelley? You're not high maintenance are you? We might get along fantastically, then!!! I'd love to build memories with another KR family member. I betcha it would be fun :) There's nobody I want to take along, I'm pretty independent & I don't wanna hafta babysit no one. I'd be there for you if you wanna have some fun together (I'm not anti-social or anything, heck I make friends of strangers upon eye contact) & maybe we could play air hockey or stuff if you have the time. I need a vacation not another babysitting gig. I have fun but I'm not crazy...uhh, lol :) let me clarify...I'm not psycho crazy...I've been called crazy but that just 'cause I like to laugh & have a good time (I can be a little kooky at times but it's all in good fun)...I'd be there to have a good...no, wait unbelievably frickin' phenomenal time...& again, I want to party (it's been too long) & listen to good tunes late into the night...oooh, feels like adult Christmas Yippee!!!...the last year I've been adopting this kind of artist's schedule shall we say so fluid bedtimes are good for me but I wouldn't want to disturb your beauty sleep. Funds, ok, I'm not stressin' I'm praying...Better check my tckt!!
No Offense but its my understanding that tickets can not be transferred without going thru 6thman. Do not pay anyone money without talking to 6thman. I know 2 people that got ripped off.. Be smart...
Just wondering what the verdict was. Couldn't you just board with that person and let them hand ya cash? Just curious. Also wondering what that cabin for 2 might run and if the idea works how I could set that up.
Ah well! Glad somebody is going! If anyone knows of someone who needs to be rid of 1 ticket please don't hesitate to post up to this thread and let me hear about it! If all my ducks are in a row will be glad to take it off your hands! Wanna get on the boat but i know it is gonna be luck of the draw & basically if someone else has something happen outside of their control before cruise time....
Have you contacted Sixthman to be sure it can be transferred? If so, I have a buyer.
Any chance of being able to sell 1 ticket?
I hope you can sell it, too, shelley!!! I'll keep hoping, dreaming, and praying on the lottery ticket my friend bought for us to share tonight. I've won before, so I'll keep you posted :)
I kinda wondered what sixthman was gonna do about the people that had bought a extra cabin they weren't gonna be in? I thought one cruise it was mentioned if ya buy it ya buy it? hoping ya bought the insurance..good luck

Editor's notes:
- Export statistics refer to both muscle cuts and variety meat unless otherwise noted
- One metric ton (mt) = 2,204.622 pounds
U.S. pork exports in September were steady with last year's volume, while beef exports were well below a year ago. Despite sluggish volumes, however, the value of both pork and beef exports through the third quarter of 2012 remains ahead of last year's record-setting pace, according to statistics released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF).
"We are definitely in a challenging economic environment, which is making it difficult to match last year's export volumes," said Philip Seng, USMEF president and CEO. "But our products continue to command an excellent price in the international markets and provide substantial returns to U.S. producers, which is critically important at a time when they face extremely high production costs."
September pork exports reached 183,853 metric tons (mt), slightly exceeding last year's total. Though export value declined 6 percent compared to last year to $505 million, it was about 2 percent higher than the August value of $495.5 million.
For January through September, pork exports were up 2 percent in volume at 1.657 million metric tons and up 6 percent in value to $4.6 billion. Exports equated to 23.6 percent of muscle cut production and 27 percent when including both muscle cuts and variety meat (compared to last year's ratios of 22.8 percent and 27 percent). Export value equated to $56.16 per head slaughtered, 4.5 percent above the per-head average established during the same period last year.
With fewer production days this year, September beef production declined 9 percent and exports fell 17 percent in volume to 90,538 mt. September export value dropped 4 percent to $442.8 million, but was significantly higher on a per-head-of-fed-slaughter basis – increasing 7 percent to $227.65.
Despite January-September beef export volume being down 12 percent to 850,439 mt, export value totaled $4.1 billion. This was 2 percent above last year's record pace and already exceeded the 2010 full calendar year total of $4.08 billion. Exports equated to 9.8 percent of muscle cut production and 12.7 percent when including both muscle cuts and variety meat, compared to last year's ratios of 11 percent and 14 percent. Export value averaged $213.63 per head of fed slaughter, up about 6 percent compared to the same period in 2011.
September beef exports fall, pork remains steady

This is an impressive tool. At the price, doubly so. It is very narrow in focus, being dedicated solely to masking and compositing, but it has quite a range of skills in this area, including chromakeying, rotoscoping and various other tricks. Compositing is as much an art as it is a science (possibly more so), so the interface is complex for beginners, although given what the program can do, surprisingly clear. You can, with patience, create traveling mattes, extract complex forms, pull green screens etc. Rough results can be achieved very quickly, refining takes time. This is not because of the program, but because of the process. After Effects won't make it happen any quicker. If you need to do keying on a budget, this is a great place to start. It does not have the type of motion graphics capabilities or plugin support of After Effects or Combustion, but then it also does not have their price tag. My only issue has been with some files using the Load via AVS functionality have not then saved correctly, giving wildly accelerated output. Seems to be an issue with mpg-2 input especially. However if you use better suited formats for input (lossless compression preferred) the results can be very good.

JEWISH WAR VETERANS HEAD TO VlgttT HERB NEXT TUESDAY NEW YORK (JPS)—"We ar6 fighthig for the right of nien to live together as members of one family rather than as mas¬ ters and slaves", President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared In a statement approving of the period, with more than 2,000 communities expected to join In the ceremonies. The text of the President's message was as foflows: "The perpetuation of Democ¬ racy depends upon the practice of the brotherhood of man. Tlie American conviction in war and in peace has been that man finds his freiedom only when he shares it with others. People f every nation, every race, ,ery creed are able to live to¬ gether as Americans on this basis. "We are fighting for the right of men to live together as mem¬ bers of one family rather than as masters and piaves. We are fighting that the spirit of broth¬ erhood which we prize in this country may be practiced here and by free men everywhere. It is our promise to extend such brotherhood earthwlde which gives hope to all the world. "The war makes the appesl of Brotherhood Week stronger than ever.

It is the application of these principles that makes our coun¬ try united and strong". DR. J. L.

He wili be honored with a luncheon and wlll address one of the local luncheon clubs and also give a radio talk.' Sig Weisskerz will act as chairman of the reception Committee.

The Congressional Medal was con¬ ferred upon only seventy-two men during the World War. NEW YORK (J#S),_.Warnlng of "the danger of war between Jews and Arabs", Dr. Judah L. Magnes, President of the He¬ brew University in Jerusalem, urges that America's moral and political authority be thrown in¬ to the balance" to prevent the creation of a Jewish Stat? in Palestine or an Arab State. His views are contained in an article in the January issue of Foreign Affairs in which he takes issue,, direct and Indirect, with an ar¬ ticle by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, President of,the Jewish Agency, that appeared previously in the magazine. Dr. Magnes offers three pro¬ posals "Toward Peace Ih Pales¬ tine"; "1. Union between the Jews and the Arabs within a bi-nation- ai Palestine. "2. Union of Palestine, Trans¬ jordan, Syria and the Lebanon In an economic and political federa¬ tion. These lands form a' geo¬ graphic unit and constituted a political and economic union at several times between ancient Semitic days and the First World War. 3. Union of this federation the concept of Palestine as a Jewi.sh state is regarded by ¦¦ many Arabs as equivalent to a declaration of war against them. To those who contend that Pal¬ estine Is the Promised Land of the Jews, I would say that It Is necessary to distinguish between Messianic expectations and hard reality." He suggests, therefore, that a compromise "be Imposed upon the Jews and the Arabs". He feels that the conceptions of a Jewish state or an Arab state "leave little room for com¬ promise . ., The first step — and the sooner it Is taken the bet¬ ter — should be an announce¬ ment, that the adjustment will not include either of these alter¬ natives". / Discussing the economic ab¬ sorptive capacity of Palestine, Dr. Magnes states that "Jews have given definite proof that It is greater than had been suppos¬ ed. The Jews have shown that there Is more water in the coun¬ try, more arable land, better land, the possibility of raising more diversified crops, more raw materials for industry, more chances of establishing ipdus- wlth an Anglo-American union tries both for home consumption which is assvmied to .be part of and for toort, than had been, that greater union of the free na- imagined " tlons now laboring to be born He then repeats as oYle method out ot the ruins of the decaying of meeting Arab objections a BRITISH CHURCHES PRAY POR JEWS LONDON (JPS)—At the re quest of the Archbishop of Can- terbui-y and the head ot the Free Church, churches in England re¬ cited prayers of intercession on behalf of the Jews of nazi-oceu- pled Europe, Emphasis was laid on the fact that in addiiion to the great numbers already slaughtered, others were living under the threat of extermina¬ tion.

With the Second Annual Berkeley Vegan Earth Day officially recorded into history, it's time to extend a lot of praise and appreciation for the many people who helped make this event a rousing success. Ancient wisdom says it takes a village to raise a child; in many ways, growing the seed of BVED 2012 can borrow from this adage.
The collaboration of sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, volunteers, friends and supporters rendered a flawless affair where visitors were greeted with an abundance of fun, food, information and hard truths about veganism and the environment; the absence of any one of you involved with this second annual event would have lessened the overall community impact. That's how valuable this collective village was in cultivating and nurturing organizer Karine Brighten's vision.
Vegucated played to a full house and markedly changed the perspective of at least three people who offered their positive opinions after the screening. Below you'll find a testimonial from one volunteer whose experience exemplifies the very reason we all worked so hard to create a fun and educational event. Here's more good news:
- Animal Place received $300 from the silent auction
- Save Japan Dolphins received 10% of ticket sales & BVED merchandise for $320
- 20 vendors, 17 speakers and 20 volunteers kept attendees happy, fed and informed
Enjoy more event photos by Josh Rodriguez Photography, and check back here for upcoming presentation videos, as well. Stay abreast of what we'll be planning for next year's event by subscribing to our free newsletter.

Testimonial from volunteer Terri
This is my second year volunteering at Berkeley Vegan Earth Day. It has grown from an evening event to a whole day filled with valuable vegan information and delicious food. As a non-vegan myself, I felt disconnected, like this wasn't my cause, and was just sitting at the registration table all morning. Like a lot of non-vegans, I am trapped in the myth that vegan food must taste flavorless, so the food vendors weren't that attractive to me either.
Surprises started coming when I indulged in Local Love's waffle bar, and find that it tastes pretty much like regular waffles. Then came lunch time, and I grabbed an Avocado Kale Wrap from Natures Express, and boy, was it de-li-cious! This sort of opened up my appetite and prompted me to shop around the vendor area. As I find more delicious food, and realize they taste pretty much the same as what I normally eat, some of them even better, I was more determined than before to see the afternoon film, Vegucated.
The film was all that I imagined it would be, and much more. The featured people were funny, the way it was filmed was very endearing, and the information and scenes were shocking and sad, but only because my ignorance had made me look the other direction prior to this. Like what one of the featured people said, it's hard to eat meat after having seen everything that happens to them just to become our food. After having seen that they're treated like food even when they can still feel the pain and suffering.
Although this film hasn't fully converted me into a vegan, it's definitely something on my mind. Since the event, I've actually been vegetarian for a couple of days now. I am debating on starting my own 6-week (vegetarian/baby steps) experiment, and have been dragging people to Nature's Express hoping to find a friend to do it with me. It was a great event in all aspects, but especially in the educational and awareness-raising areas. More people need to see Vegucated, that's for sure!
