As a tourist destination, Florida can seem cliché to the untrained traveler. Each year, more than 75 million people troop to the Sunshine State visiting the usual places - Disney's Magic Kingdom, Sea World and the Kennedy Space Center. But it also offers plenty of entertainment for those who shun commercial holiday havens in favor of turkey hunting for Osceolas (found only in Florida), fishing for snook or snorkeling.
I recently found something new to love about Florida. While traveling to the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association (SEOPA) conference in Punta Gorda, I stopped to visit my sister-in-law, who lives on the charming, eclectic barrier island, Siesta Key. If your feet love the feel of sand that's the consistency and color of powdered sugar, stop what you're doing and go right now. It's that awesome. Watching the sun set while wiggling your toes in that sand is a happy place for your mind to visit no matter how crappy your day is.
Another memory-worthy moment was seeing my first roseate spoonbills while sightseeing at a nearby island. I immediately knew what they were, having recently visited the Birds in Art exhibition at the Woodson Art museum in Wausau, Wis. where these pink beauties were all the rage on canvas.
More birding was in store as I kayaked for the first time. As a guest of Grande Tours in Placida, Fla., I paddled the waters of the Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserve. White ibises, great egrets and several members of the heron family stood wing to wing on sandbars and in the shallows while pelicans, gulls and osprey were also part of the scenery.
Guide Chris Warren introduced us to a few groovy gastropods, too, such as Florida's state shell, the horse conch, and the belligerent, yet beautiful banded tulip. These shell-dwelling marine critters do the locomotion using a big, flat foot situated alarmingly close to the mouth. Living among the sand and weeds, these species are easily overlooked but well worth discovering.
The grass flats we paddled across were alive with mullet leaping out of the water. Chris said nobody really knows why these vegetarians go airborne, but he did offer four possible theories : 1) sea lice under their scales gives them the willies, 2) they're escaping toothy, underwater predators, 3) it fires up their gizzard and aids digestion, or 4), they were jumping for joy at seeing us. Whatever, the reason, Gasparilla Sound is a productive fishery with tarpon, grouper and about 200 other species.
The best part of the eco-tour was gliding through the spooky cool mangrove tunnels. No wider than a dirt road with a thick canopy overhead, it makes you feel a zillion miles away from civilization. We kayaked through a portion of Woolverton Trail, which has been groomed for the last 30 years by Ed woolverton. When he took this chore upon himself back in the '60s, he did so without a permit. However, the state discovered it was healthy for the mangrove forest and granted him permission to continue. Now 93 years old, he still travels the tunnels in a poke boat armed with a pair of hand loppers trimming the red mangroves' prop roots.
On our way back to the outfitter's home base, a couple of bottlenose dolphins surfaced and a bald eagle did a flyover. While I wasn't ready for the trip to be over, I have to admit it was a picture perfect ending.

I'd like to thank Jennifer Huber of the Charlotte Harbor Visitor & Convention Bureau for coordinating the trip and Chris Warren of Grande Tours for his expertise throughout this 2-hour complimentary tour.

Over her 35-year retail career, Barbara Strom has seen all of the ups and downs of holiday shopping seasons — the hot products, over-the-top sales gimmicks and incessant speculation about holiday profits and seasonal hiring.
So when Ms. Strom eyes the latest projections for increased holiday sales and hiring from the National Retail Federation, she brings a cautious optimism borne from experience in national and local retail.
"All of these retail numbers, I've played with them before in chain retail," says Ms. Strom, the 10-year owner of La Bella Vita in Little Italy who this month opened a second location at Eton Chagrin Boulevard. "It's one thing to say your numbers are up, but what about your profits?" The National Retail Federation predicts that holiday sales will rise 4.1% to $586.1 billion. The organization expects between 585,000 and 625,000 seasonal hires nationally, as compared to 607,500 in 2011. Ms. Strom is expecting sales at her Little Italy store, which specializes in fine gifts and tableware, to be up about 5% over last year. She also expects sales at her new Eton location to top her Little Italy sales by 25%. "My business is so geared toward gift-giving, and that's not necessarily something that's cut back on (during a tough economy)," she says. In Northeast Ohio, other local small businesses are expressing a similar level of optimism for the holiday shopping season. With forecasts of sales growth this year, many are hiring or recalling small seasonal staffs. At The Learned Owl Book Shop in Hudson, owner Liz Murphy has just hired two new employees in preparation for the holidays, bringing her all-part-time staff to 19. She's also been able to give back hours to employees who previously had hours reduced with the potential to carry those on beyond the holiday season. "Some really want as many hours as possible, and it's a positive sign that I have hours to give them," Ms. Murphy said.
After opening in June 2011, Vegan Sweet Tooth owners Tiffany O'Neill and Rebecca Bryan saw about 2% growth each month as they prepared for their first holiday season last year at this vegan bakery in Woodmere. "(Last) December blew everything out of the water ... with a jump of at least $5,000 over the two to three months before," Ms. O'Neill says. "I'm expecting this December to be the same. I'm actually kind of scared, in a good way." She's now training two new staff to help out during the holiday season — positions that could extend past the holidays — and is considering a third. Even with projections for seasonal hiring up nationally, these local retailers don't expect to have difficulty competing against big boxes for workers. "One girl left her big-box job because she wanted to work at a local business," Ms. O'Neill says. "I can't offer what Best Buy can walking through the door. ... Some people are willing to take a financial sacrifice to support a local business." Even if more workers are looking local for holiday jobs this year, they may find tough hiring criteria. "We're not just cashiers here," says Michael Ziegenhagen, president of PlayMatters, a toy store with five Northeast Ohio locations. "We're advising parents and grandparents toward choosing the right toy for their child. ... This isn't a job that just anyone can do." Mr. Ziegenhagen expects to boost his work force about 10% this holiday season. Most are college students who have been hired back from the summer, or who have worked at PlayMatters since high school. At Petitti Garden Centers, the hiring peak is during the spring planting season, and head counts taper off through the summer and fall. To accommodate holiday traffic, A.J. Petitti says he hires back about 20 to 30 of his summer staff. He also sees growing preference toward choosing seasonal jobs with local companies. "You still have to be competitive," he said, "but given an even playing field, the local company has a strong advantage."
Back at La Bella Vita, Ms. Strom has added six part-time new employees to man her new Eton store's first holiday season. She requires a high level of expertise among sales associates, but uses seasonal hires to help with tasks like gift-wrapping. "People who buy these products, if they have a choice to buy from an owner versus a part-time college student who doesn't care, they will," she says. "Everyone is working very hard for their money. ... They will work with someone they know is breaking their back to help them.

Obama arrives in Connecticut to meet with families
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Two days after a devastating elementary school shooting that killed 20 first-graders, mourning in this New England town played out at Sunday church services, makeshift memorials and vigils. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama arrived in Connecticut to meet with families and police said they found hundreds of unused bullets on the suspected perpetrator.
The mourning was disrupted momentarily by more chaos when St. Rose of Lima's church was evacuated after someone called the church saying "I'm coming to kill, I'm coming to kill" and the church was evacuated and closed for the rest of the day.
Several funerals were scheduled and Obama met with families privately and planned to speak at an evening vigil. In another sign of forward movement, the school district announced the surviving children would return to school in a temporary building.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., stoked the gun debate that has been raging since the shooting by promising to introduce an assault-weapons ban on the first day of the new Congress. Since the previous ban expired in 2004, a dozen unsuccessful attempts had been made to reinstate it.
Authorities announced Sunday that Nancy Lanza died of four gunshots to her head while she slept. Police sources said Adam Lanza took his mother's car and guns that may have belonged to her to the school. There, he fired through the school's glass door to get inside and was met by the school's principal, Dawn Hochsprung, and school psychologist, Mary Scherlach, whom he promptly shot to death. The Hartford Courant reports he then turned left, bypassed one classroom full of students and entered another, shooting and killing all 14 children and two teachers inside. Next he moved onto teacher Victoria Soto's classroom, where she and six children were shot. As police arrived, Adam Lanza shot himself in the head.
"There were 14 coats hanging there and 14 bodies. He killed them all," an unnamed law enforcement officer told the Courant.</a>
Lt. J. Paul Vance warned that incorrect information about the shootings was being distributed, including purposefully fraudulent photos that he promised police would pursue as criminal.
"All information relative to this case is coming from these microphones, and any information coming from other sources cannot be confirmed and is found in many cases to be inaccurate," Vance added.
The staggering list of thenames of the dead was still being poured over as Internet memorials popped up for some of the victims. They included Principal Dawn Hochsprung, school psychologist Mary Sherloch, and four teachers who were called heroes. Many families of the dead, especially those with dead children, quickly issued statements asking the media for privacy, and still others talked with reporters about their grief for their fallen loved ones, including the father of one of the children, Emilie Parker.
The shooting Friday began just after 9:30 a.m. in the school about 60 miles northeast of New York City, setting off a nightmarish scene in which students and teachers hid under desks and in closets before being escorted to safety and reunited with their families. Continued...
"I told them that I loved them and that they would be OK," said one of the teacher's who locked the door to her classroom when the shooting began.
The toll at Sandy Hook — 26 students and adults — made it the nation's second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, where 32 were killed.
A number of reports have changed since the shooting began. In some early confusion, Adam Lanza's brother, Ryan, was initially named as the shooter by unnamed police sources. There were also multiple reports that Nancy Lanza worked in some capacity the school, but doubt was cast on those reports Saturday afternoon and officials told the Associated Press they haven't established a connection between his mother and the school. Connecticut's governor said he believed Adam Lanza attended the school at one point. However, police were investigating whether Lanza was the person who had some kind of altercation with staffers at the school on Thursday, NBC News reported. Asked about the report, police lieutenant Vance said on Saturday "We never indicated or never reported any indication of any altercation at all," he said.
After the shooting began, a custodian ran through the halls, warning of a gunman on the loose, and someone switched on the intercom, alerting people in the building to the attack — and perhaps saving many lives — by letting them hear the hysteria going on in the school office, a teacher said. Teachers locked their doors and ordered children to huddle in a corner or hide in closets as shots echoed through the building.
Authorities have offered few official details on exactly how the attack unfolded, saying they planned to reveal a motive later. But police radio traffic indicated the shooting lasted only a few minutes before police arrived.
Officers arrived instantaneously, immediately entered the school, breaking windows and searching it completely, finding the dead shooter, children and teachers, and leading out survivors, Vance said. Later, four guns were found, among them a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car. Vance said at a Saturday morning news conference that investigators were tracking the history of each of the weapons that were recovered and there were multiple media reports that the guns were registered to Nancy Lanza. There were reports that Lanza might have tried to buy a rifle several days before the shooting, but did not succeed.
A law enforcement official said Adam Lanza was known to have some kind of personality disorder and was possibly on the autism spectrum, but he did not have a criminal record. His older brother, 24-year-old Ryan Lanza of Hoboken, N.J., was being questioned, had been extremely cooperative, and was not believed to have any involvement in the rampage and was not under arrest or in custody, but investigators were still searching his computers and phone records.
The elder brother told law enforcement he had not been in touch with the alleged shooter since about 2010. Peter Lanza, the father of Adam and Ryan, was informed about the shooting Friday afternoon by a reporter who was waiting outside his home in nearby Stamford. He and Nancy Lanza filed for divorce in 2008. On Saturday night, he released a statement saying he and his family were grieving for the victims.
"Our hearts go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones and to all those who were injured. Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy. No words can truly express how heartbroken we are. We are in a state of disbelief and trying to find whatever answers we can. We, too, are asking why," he wrote.
The scale of the shootings and the number of tiny victims has sparked another debate among politicians about gun laws, with several anti-gun politicians such as New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg issuing repeated biting statements about the tragedy and the role of firearms in it. Continued...
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, who was the one to tell some of the parents that their children were dead, "We're unfortunately a violent society," he said on "Meet the Press" Sunday morning. "We don't treat the mentally ill well. We don't reach out to families that are in trouble particularly well. We allowed the assault weapons ban to lapse. There are lots of issues that need to be take on as a society. … Having siad that, we have laws that are more aggressive than most states."
On Sunday, the Rev. Robert Weiss announced that practice for St. Rose of Lima's church Christmas pageant would continue even though one of the children who was scheduled to play an angel was killed Friday.
At another service at the Newtown United Methodist Church, the Rev. Mel Kawakami said he was still angry.
"We've seen this before. We must forgive like before," he said. "But I'm not sure if I'm there yet. The tears are still fresh. The pain is still raw."

But this is Monday. This is the night we would normally be checking out some food, possibly even some food made with beer. With it being beer week there isn't enough time for that this week. Instead the folks over at Bacchus have gone an extra step for us. Not only are they hosting tastings for beer week, they are adding in food pairings to match with the different breweries that share their space each day.
So far this week I have had the pleasure of spending time with a rep from Arcadia Brewing on Sunday. This pairing included chocolate and bbq pork sliders. Of the beers sampled with the bbq the London Style Porter went pretty well, but for me the natural match was Arcadia's Nut Brown Ale. That was a perfect match with the malty notes of the Brown matching with the richness of the bbq sauce. The rich chocolate and coffee notes of the London Style Porter went perfectly with the dark chocolate that Bacchus had provided for the pairing.
On Monday night Merchant Du Vin, importers of such classically brewed beers like Celebrator Dopplebock and Samuel Smith's was at Bacchus with a few beers to pair with cheese and pate.
Lindemans Frambois, Celebrator Dopplebock, and Samuel Smith's IPA were presented by Adam McLean the state manager for Merchant Du Vin. By themselves these are some great beers. Paired with foods they reach new levels.
The fruit notes of the Frambois made a perfect match for the cheese. The acidity of the fruit cut through the fatty richness the cheese brought in making a perfect pairing. Then when you worked the Celebrator with the pate you could also find a great match.
While I was at Bacchus I ran into Nate Melvin (on the right) from Discover Kalamazoo. Starting Monday with him and Nate McLean (on the left) made for a great start to the rest of the evening.

Sigerson Morrison
Sigerson Morrison combines the talents of British-born designer Miranda Morrison — who spent her youth poring over library books about making shoes — and Nebraska native Kari Sigerson, who found fashion inspiration in a pair of white go-go boots gifted by her grandmother. After meeting at F.I.T., the two started working together and launched Sigerson Morrison, their CFDA award-winning footwear label, in 1991. Success came quickly to the designing duo, whose lovingly crafted flats, sandals, heels, and boots buck fleeting trends in favor of understated elegance. In 2004 Sigerson Morrison added more affordable styles to its collection by launching Belle (named after Morrison's daughter), its youth-conscious diffusion line.

NARGS Nominating Committee - 2010-2011 Members and Tasks
September 24, 2010, 08:48:04 AM »
Dear NARGS Administrative Committee, Directors, Chapter Chairs, Newsletter Editors, Committee Members, and Web Masters,
I'm Alice Nicolson (Potomac Valley) and I'm Chair of the NARGS nominating committee. This year we have elections for the four Officer positions as well as one-third of the nine elected Board Directors. Our committee is tasked with finding candidates for
Recording Secretary
, and
. These officers, plus one of the elected Directors whom the officers choose, constitute the Administrative Committee, which runs the day-to-day business of the Society.
We're looking for
three new Directors of the Board
to help support the NARGS Administrative Committee and keep our society running smoothly, adapting to members' changing needs and goals. Dianne Huling, Tony Reznicek, and I will finish up our three-year terms next year, and we need people to fill our positions on the Board. The job is conducted mostly by email, since most of us can't attend that many national meetings. We are basically asked to contribute our thoughts on the various issues that come up, and to vote on a few matters. Most of you are already contributing your time and ideas to your local chapters, but you may know members who might be interested in doing the same for our umbrella group, NARGS, or you may be interested in such a role for yourself.
Please suggest a couple of people whom you know who might be able to contribute to the continued development of NARGS. Send us their names and email addresses or phone numbers as soon as possible, at least before January 10. Don't worry - they won't be nominated unless they consent! We'll contact possible candidates to ask if they are willing serve, and if so, that they prepare a short gardening bio that can be published in the spring Quarterly.
Send your suggestions to any of the committee members listed below:
WA - Claire Cockcroft claire.primula at yahoo.com
NY - Lola Horwitz llhorwitz at gmail.com
ONT - Anna Leggatt anna.leggatt at simpatico.ca
VA - Alice Nicolson taxonomy at verizon.net
MN - Cheryl Philstrom cphilstrom at frontiernet.net
CO - Nicola Ripley nicola at bettyfordalpinegardens.org
PA - Joan Schmitt schmitt at temple.edu
(replace 'at' with the '@' symbol and remove spaces)
With your help, I think we'll come up with seven more good people to help keep NARGS running.
Alice Nicolson, Chair, NARGS Nominating Committee 2010-2011.

Well, the AGM and what I imagine was a great conference meeting surrounding it, has come and gone and we welcome a new President of NARGS, Peter George.
Greetings to Harvey Wrigthman, now Vice President, well known to SRGC Folks and others as a contributor to the International Rock Gardener.
May I pass on the best wishes of those of us in Scotland to Peter in his new post? I am sure he will work enthusiastically for NARGS in this post as he does in other capacities.
Congratulations too to all those new committee members and receipients of awards from a grateful society. Folks like Anne Spiegel, who received the Linc and Timmy Foster Millstream Garden Award, which reads "In recognition of her outstanding rock and alpine garden."
Anne is posting photos both to the Forum here and to the SRGC Forum at this very time, sharing the delights of the plants she is seeing on her holiday in the mountains of Europe.
Well done, Anne!
I have posted the news of Peter's election and Anne's award to the SRGC forum, where these folks are well known.

May I just say that I'm a little taken aback that it has been left to a Scottish member to report on the AGM of the North American Rock Garden Society! I'm extremely pleased that Maggi has duly welcomed Peter and Harvey and the other Committee members to their new posts and congratulated dear Anne on her well-deserved award, but surely someone from that side of the pond could have responded earlier?

I'm embarrassed to admit that although I did write a letter which was distributed by email to NARGS Chapter Chairs, newsletter editors and other 'officers' of one kind or another, the letter was not linked on the website, nor did anyone from NARGS think to post an announcement here. To be honest, I was a bit uncomfortable making the announcement myself, as it seemed to me that it constituted a bit of self congratulations, but in retrospect, I should have. I apologize.
In any case, NARGS now has a new set of officers, and 3 new Board members, and I'm looking forward to working on strengthening the organization, improving the level of 'offerings' we make to our members and our Chapters, and increasing the level of cooperation and communication with the various rock gardening/alpine gardening organizations that populate the rest of the world.
And, of course, I'd like to thank Maggi for her thoughtful post, and her kindness in making sure that the NARGS election got proper publicity. I suspect that this situation will not repeat itself.
I'm going to use this Forum as a venue for sharing information about our efforts and initiatives, so pay attention and PLEASE respond if you support or oppose any ideas we bring forward. We welcome advise, supportive or critical, and we need it to make the progress we must make over the next 2 years.

My comments were not, in any way, directed towards you Peter ... it just seemed strange that there wasn't comment or report of any kind on the conference and/or the AGM on this 'global' forum. It is not unique to NARGS ... the AGM of the Alpine Garden Society drew neither comment nor report on the Society website.

Cliff, I didn't perceive them to be personal in any way, but the reality is that as President, even for a few days, the responsibility resided with me to make an announcement that was directed at a wider audience than the Chapter Chairs, etc. within NARGS. Rest assured that there will be a remedy for the situation in the future, and my sense is that the website and this Forum will be the primary venues through which we'll communicate to the rock-gardening world at large.

Bigger is better
I have these in black. I am going to get the gold. I have huge curly hair and this locks down my chignons like my beloved claw clamps but with a sleeker edgier look.

Very cute but did not work well. It will not hold my hair and is hard to close.

LOVE it :)
I absolutely LOVE these hair clips. They are really fun to wear and I've gotten quite a lot of compliments on them.

Hair clip
I like it but the one I received was damage, I guess the quality is not the best!

Hair Clips
Discoloured after one wear, they catch and break your hair and also fall out instantly so you have to pin them in with Bobby pins. Overall completely unusable/unfunctionable.

Cute but...
The idea of these are great, but in reality they're not very. They look nice but after a few wears the colour of the silver starts to go yellowish. The metal is not as strong as smaller clips like these, and the quality of the metal is a bit cheap, especially at the rivet. It slides down if you don't clip a big quantity of hair or twist your hair first. I do like the look of them though, too bad they're not as nice as the little ones from Goody!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Cute look, not strong
This clip looks really cool and is easy to work with. Two drawbacks though, it is not as strong as the smaller clips it tries to mimic, so closing it on a large amount of hair doesn't work. Also, I got some of my hair caught in the clasp of the pointed side where the two pieces come together
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

WINSTED >> Tuesday night brought some sobering news for the Board of Selectmen regarding Winsted's potential 2013-14 budget.
The budget proposal of $32,989,520 does not include an increase in property tax revenues, although Winsted's mill rate would have to jump by 4.77 mills — or 18.76 percent of the mill rate — to keep that level. The biggest bomb to drop, though, was the announcement that the budget still leaves a $1.8 million shortfall, which could be remedied within two years with a tax increase.
"It's not a pretty picture," said Selectman Michael Renzullo, "But I prefer to not have things candy-coated."
The shortfall will result in delayed payments to vendors, even though according to Martin, "We're current on all the town bills." Winsted is only 30 days delinquent on one vendor — BlumShapiro, which is still conducting the 2011-12 audit — and unless the town approves another 1.0 mill increase in the budget, the shortfall will have to roll forward.
"We'll end up delaying payment, but they will be paid in as timely of a manner as possible," said Martin, who attributed the shortfall to "poor decisions, poor accounting that has been going on for the past several years."
Martin's assessment is backed up by an email from Christopher King of King, King and Associates, which stated that the town has received faulty information. The claims are similar to those from the Water and Sewer Commission — which received unauthorized fund transfers for years to remedy their own cash problems — and are cited as one of the reasons for the shortfall, along with accounting irregularities and unrealistic revenue estimates. Martin noted that "the numbers, going backwards, are almost invalid."
What you know so far about 2011 and 2012 is that you can't rely on the financial reports at face value," stated King in his email, adding, "You need expertise applied to them to make them reliable."
Other options to remedy the shortfall include furloughs and layoffs, but Martin said these would not be feasible. The town would have to furlough town hall staff and public works employees for 240 days to save $1.8 million, while unemployment costs would negate any savings from layoffs.
The proposal does include some positions which will go unfilled, saving some money. But according to Martin, Winsted had the funds to abate this shortfall in previous years. However, the town manager said, the funds — which totaled $4.6 million — were moved around "unbeknownst to you and unbeknownst to the community.
"We had that money, and this is how that's been carried on for so long," Martin said. "We are just going to have to draw a line and say 'what's then is then, and we're moving forward'." Continued...
Currently, the proposal sets aside $114,530 for the town's general fund, which has approximately $200,000 in cash, according to Vanessa Rossitto of BlumShapiro. Raising the budget by one mill, or $689,000, would provide enough money to make a substantial dent in the shortfall, Martin said, and setting aside another $800,000 in the 2014-15 budget to go towards deficit reduction would almost totally erase the cash shortfall.
Selectman Ken Fracasso said that "I think that has to be addressed immediately."
"There will be payments that are deferred until the following year," said Martin. "But you're right, each year, that will diminish."
Despite the increase of no less than 4.77 mills, Martin said, the budget anticipates a decrease in property tax revenue. Since the town's grand list fell from $818,214,774 to $689,132,050 after the revaluation, the expected property tax revenue would drop from $20,511,734 in 2012-13 to $20,187,433, even after the mill rate climbs from 25.43 mills to 30.20 mills.
The line-by-line budget proposal is available at Winsted Town Hall, and the Board of Selectmen will meet with the Board of Education on March 26. The Selectmen also scheduled a public hearing for April 4 at 6 p.m., followed by the annual town meeting on May 6. The finalized budget will be in the town clerk's office on April 19.

Preparations are in high gear for Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar to take part in the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) 2012, it has been announced.
The Global Entrepreneurship Week planning team has chosen Zanzibar Association for Youth Education and Empowerment (ZAYEE) to host the first GEW Tanzania initiative geared to empower young entrepreneurs all over the country and presented under the theme "Amsha Uwezo Wako" or 'Awaken Your Potential' in English.
The initiative is considered the largest celebration of innovators and job creators, where start-ups are encouraged and empowered to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life for all.
The initiative kicked off in 2008 and directly engages more than seven million people in 35,000 events, activities and competitions each November.
"Entrepreneurship is what will take Tanzania to be an economic giant to reckon with across the globe. We have all the potential, we have all the resources in the land and sea-- what we lack is the spirit of entrepreneurship being embedded in our lifestyles and culture," Omar Said Shaaban, the Vice-Chairman and co-founder of ZAYEE said.
He said GEW Tanzania is part of a global initiative within an international network of over 125 countries dedicated to advancing and empowering young entrepreneurs.
"From Zanzibar to the shores of Lake Victoria and Tanganyika, in every corner of the land, we want to make a rallying call to youth to nurture their talents for entrepreneurship," he added.
The one week initiative set for November 12 to 18, 2012 will mobilize youth in an effort to awaken their potential.
"A new generation of startups and the entrepreneurs who lead them are emerging to do good - and do well," said Jonathan Ortmans, president of Global Entrepreneurship Week. "In one week, we introduce the notion of entrepreneurial activity to those who have never considered it as a possibility in their lifetime."
Calling for the government and the private sector to support youth power in entrepreneurship, Shaaban said GEW Tanzania can change the course of the nation for the good.
"This nationwide event is targeted at identifying and enhancing youths' natural talents through empowerment, access to resources that will nurture their academic, professional, social and interpersonal skills," said Shaaban.
Noting that over 70 per cent of the population in Tanzania are youth under the age of 35 and children, it is paramount for the majority populace to be aware of the changing global economic trends and be prepared to take entrepreneurship not as the alternative to paid employment but as the best alternative.
"The government and private sector in the last ten years or so has been unable to absorb many university graduates," added Shaaban. "We are already in a job crisis. We must act positively now by inspiring the youth to explore their potential as self-starters and innovators."
Shaaban said ZAYEE was looking for partnership with the government, agencies, businesses, business leaders and academics in order to make the event a huge success.
The host of the début GEW Tanzania is the Zanzibar Association for Youth Education and Empowerment (ZAYEE), a non-profit organization launched in June 2010. ZAYEE's objective is to enhance the potential and talent of Tanzania's youth through initiatives that empower education and promote entrepreneurship.
Partnering with non-profit, community service organisations, government departments and the private sector, ZAYEE mobilizes resources to facilitate youth engagement in wealth creation for development. Through ZAYEE, Tanzania's youth have access to consultation, counselling, educational workshops, training, conferences and seminars and symposiums.
ZAYEE is managed by an Executive Committee of dynamic young professionals and comprises of 58 members.
During one week each November, thousands of activities around the world inspire millions to engage in entrepreneurial action while connecting them to potential mentors, collaborators and investors.
In three short years, Global Entrepreneurship Week has expanded to over 120 countries—empowering nearly 20 million people through 95,000 activities. Powered by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the initiative is supported by dozens of world leaders and a growing network of 24,000 partner organizations.

As you guys have requsted, here it is...
For Newbies especially the new ladies...
...the original HSMU was at what I consider it\'s limit (100 post) and 2.0 was getting quite huge so here for your pleasure and convience is HSMU 3.0 .
1. For you newbies the HSMU is the place for you to place your hits stories and details of such that may help us the rest of us. A lot of answers to some newbie questions may be found right here. And please newbies, check out the phero users cookbook 3.0 at http://www.love-scent.com/reference/cookbook.html. There\'s so much info there your head might explode. To be a member of the Hit Squad simply get hits. So far members include myself, Watcher, TallCoolOne, Redcapp, Marz, Whitehall, JPGR and a few others. Some of our new members are Swinger MD, Jamboot, CptKipling, DrSmell this and some others.
2. Old members, you know what to do. Now lets start it off with
3. Hit Stories...
I personally like to hear stories about hits at the work place because I tend to wear pheros at work (when I do work) and I like to hear about the do\'s and don\'ts and what people are wearing and the effects their having.
A popular thing everyone likes to hear about it the club or party story, that\'s always fun. And another thing. Where\'s all the ladies. We had or two female Squad members and they disappeared on us. Come on, any ladies getting hits out there? (Actually when I originally wrote this there weren\'t a lot of ladies now there are a lot more).
And JB mix stories. I like to hear about what\'s happening with users of the JB mixes especially JB-X, JBDD #1 and JBM#1 all basically new mixes.
What we want in a hit story is details, particularly and most importantly what you wore when you got the big hit, where you wore it and the circumstances. These are the major factors.
And I see PPC is getting popular. Is there a possible JB mix in the future with PPC? Who knows. Someone\'s probably done it already and I missed the post on it. Oh well. I\'m at your service and people, let\'s be careful out there. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
-The Bat
Since I normally start off these post I\'ll do so as well. This is pretty much a repost but wih more info:
I wanted to tell you guys how great a night I had but the night sucked. I wanted to go to a club that was a little wilder than normal fair but everyone cancelled and because of the way I was dressed I couldn\'t get into the places I normally go. I ended up going to a club I hate with a passion. But leaving JB #1 at home was a big mistake. For those who don\'t remember I wore JB#2 with RM and SOE gel (not mixed).
See the place I went is a club full of posers. You know the type of club where you go in an 30% of the place is dancing. Yet it\'s packed and all the chicks are hanging with the chicks and all the guys are hanging with the guys. (If I wanted to hang with guys I\'d turn gay or just not go out at all). This is why I hate this club mind you. I did have some fun with the women on the raised part of the dance floor but they don\'t really dance with you, they\'re more dancing for show, but they are fun.
I really wanted to see what type of responses I got in my normal new spots or atleast my normal spots. I didn\'t get not one real dance and the people there are of the sucky variety. With JB #1 I think I would\'ve gotten atleast one dance. I\'ll try this again one day maybe.
Oh well. Last night was just another night in my continually sucky life so it\'s not that much of a deal but sometimes you should just go home. Next time I\'m not take anyone with me anywhere when I do test run. People are always screwing things up for me. That\'s why we bats run alone. (Except when we\'re in packs which now that I think about it bats are in pack an aweful lot so that tough guy spill just kind of boke down under it\'s own weight).
-The Bat
Today I wore modified JB-X (added TE), 1 spray in hair; 3 drops of AE on one lower arm, rubbed together, then did the same with 8\" of SOE, with another 2\" on my neck. (oh and a small dab of JB-X on my chin.) Lots of pheros I know, but i find this is ok if left for an hour or so.
Was going to meet a girl in a pub car park, i got there a bit early to do some testing. Lots of DIHLing in the pub [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] , also some very welcome attention from some 17-18 year olds. Testing was cut short, as afforementioned girl turned up.
Went outside and started talking to her, and she was DIHL for what seemed like ages, got a bit embarrasing, so i suggested we go for a walk. Found a bench to sit on (the picnic kind) and sat on opposite sides. She was constantly leaning over and flicking her hair (playing with it a LOT! Definately not scared FTR [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ). Went to sit next to her and she practically jumped on me, kissed me (ok so i may have had SOME part in this [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ), and said
\"Hmm...you smell nice\" kissed me again
\"Is there somewhere else we can go?\"
I said, \"I\'m sure we can find somewhere!\"
Got up, walked around, found another bench, but a bit more private. So as not to BORE you with details, we ended up hiding behind the bench wearing not very much [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
This is a girl who has a very nice natural scent of her own, her hair smells great! I cant get enough of it!
Maybe she\'s wearing pheros too. You know Beaches makes a shampoo (although I can\'t see that being effective). I\'ll tell you this JBB does get hits. It ain\'t JB #1 but it\'s good. It\'s sad actually because something tells me if APC had more pheros in it would be the bomb all on it\'s own. Have you worn any of this stuff to work regularly?

Interesting hit ....
Phero: 3dr AE / 1sp Andro
Lovation: Danceclub
I walked up one of the stairways to get to the restrooms, the area infront of them was crowded and it took some time to get past the people. Suddenly this supercute face rushed from the right in my sight and \"Wow, you are so cute\" came somehow out of my mouth.I don\'t know why I said that, I think I was up to think it only but it made his way to the outside [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]. She turned around and smiled at me, a really nice cute smile. I asked her for her name and before I knew what was happening we sat down at a table in the chillout area. At 11:50pm we left the club, because it was late for her. Well ... she\'s still here (at my place), it\'s 11:41am now and she didn\'t get to work [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] .OMG guys .. she\'s a goddess .. and it\'s really hard not to show it... remember DocLove Andy .. remember DocLove Andy ... remember DocLove Andy. I\'ll try to give some infos later ... she\'s in the shower right now .. and I have not much time.
Meeting chicks on the street Andy? Now what would your mom say about that? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

So got my new AE and have been trying it out. After a post-workout shower at the gym, put three drops of AE in my hair gel and three drops directly on my neck and shoulders. Went to the mall for some shopping chores and was wondering around waiting for my watch to be fixed.
Walked into one of the smell places (Bed and Bath?) and started to look at the essential oils. Suddenly, a cutie pie 20-something sales girl appears right next to me, really close. I\'m asking hard questions about the product and she\'s looking up at me with her big blue eyes and can\'t put together two cogent words. She\'s wearing a low cut blouse and her cleavage is right under my nose. I didn\'t hit on her (not my type and didn\'t see any future) and kept focused on the business at hand so she got the message and drifted off.
Still, she zoomed in on me above and beyond the call of retail sales duty. In fact, almost all the female sales people that day were exceptionally friendly and open.
I\'d say that AE certainly has some mojo. However, it does go stale and malodorous, much more so than the other products I\'ve tried.
Not to cast aspersions whatsoever on the power of your charm, \'mones or no \'mones, but just wanted to note that the saleswomen in Bath and Bodyworks seem trained to glom on to whoever walks in the door and hover and buzz till you want to smack them, talking about their specials and their new products and their this and their that till you can\'t hear yourself think...

what\'s \"kino\"?
That\'s probably so but I do know her mind was not completely on business.
\"Kino\" is short for kinematic or somesuch root and means physical touching. So \"to give a target kino\" means to touch her arm, stroke her hair, hold her hand, etc on up to butt bumping and kissing. The idea is get touched back. Sorta public foreplay.
Watch next time you\'re on an airplane; the stewardesses give it to first class but not coach.
Its definately a good idea to cover AE with something like SOE, started because I dont like the smell. I\'ve tried that twice with -none (JB-X) in my hair, and that seems to work nicely.
AE does seem to be a killer product, wish I\'d found it sooner!
You may find this interesting.
You\'ll find Kino about halfway down.
Thank you my sweetie. I bookmarked that, it\'s a big help.
For you Babe, anything.
Cpt.: How exactly did you modify JB-X? TE in place of the NPA? What ratio? I have not tried any of the mixes yet but I have been experminting for a couple of months with phero.\'s. And I have RM and TE.
Ive just had a look as well EXIT63 i could find this very useful we may as well port a fair few of those terms over here to the forum and implement them, i didnt see DIHL over there at fastseduction.com.. Its very interesting, now i know what kino means i had a vague idea but thanks for that. Marked for future reference.
\"Cpt.: How exactly did you modify JB-X? TE in place of the NPA? What ratio? I have not tried any of the mixes yet but I have been experminting for a couple of months with phero.\'s. And I have RM and TE.\"
I believe he said he stated substituting some of the NPA with TE to dilute the mix. RM:NPA:TE 40:5:30 (which gives RM:\"NPA STUFF\" 8:3). In theory he made some kind of JB-X bootleg. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
-The Bat
Yeah thats right. I made it so it would be easier to spray on, well not easier but more cost affective and with less of an OD risk.
I think i messed up my calculations, I did them when I was tired and rushed it.
I RE-modified my mix.
Because NPA and TE are basically in a ratio of 1:4, you have to have 4 drops of TE to make up 1 of NPA. 30/4 =7.5, not very helpfull. I added another 10 drops of TE, so that you do in fact get 8:3 RM:\"NPA stuff\", but instead of the usual concentration of 0.352 mg/ml, you get 0.105 mg/ml.
Need to increase the NPA stuff % though. Perhaps 8:3.75 (an extra 3drops of TE for every 8 of RM and 1 of NPA.
I dont know what the *approximate* volume of a spray is, but this is definately a more apropriate dose of -none, means it will diffuse much better.
Why\'d you remodify it was working so well. I would\'ve left it alone, that\'s why I didn\'t remodify JB #1 once it worked so well for me. But It\'s good to experiment. Tell us how your modifications worked once you get a chance to see the effects.

Phero: SOE
Last night I was sitting at this booth in a local pub with a few friends of mine. About an hour after I arrive I notice an female aquantence of mine enter. She probably knows me the least out of all my friends but I start talking with her as if we\'ve been best friends for years. We start flirting with each other and before I know it, her hands on my thigh and my arm is over her shoulder while I\'m listening to her tell me how good I smell. She must of mentioned how good I smelt like 3 or 4 times, and in my opinion SOE does not smell that nice, so I know the phero\'s were working for me. She asked me what I was wearing and I just reponded by saying \"ah, you probably never heard of it.\" Any way, this hit was kinda weird cause I totally ridd-off off the whole phero thing up into this point and just decided to work on my confidence and overall attitude around women. I totally discarded the whole phero thing and the only reason I have even been wearing SOE lately is because by the time I decided to not use phero\'s my SOE had already been shipped. Yet, I have been doing pretty good with the ladies lately, and up until last night I attributed all my success to the tips I have been learning on certain email sites and in various articles. However, I never once took into consideration that the SOE I have been wearing could have also been of help - to be honest, everytime I applied the SOE I totally forgot I was wearing it after about an hour or so. Any way, I think attraction on a non-physical level is all about one\'s inner confidence, attitude and strategy. However, I think pheromones can give you an edge. I am pretty interested to see the reactions I can get using some none based products.
Later Haters
I don\'t want to double post, but for my latest A1 Fibronacci mix story, see the \"latest on A1\" thread. Exact amounts included, for you mad scientists among us.
Doctor, what does the fibronacci series have to do with all of this? (glad to read old posts if you\'ll direct me)
Hit Squad II threads, and the Phero effectiveness threads have most of that. And/or do a search with \"phi\" and \"fibronacci\".
I often use the sequence to guide my phero mixes.
If you have the time/patience- why?
It has to do with mathmatical beauty, greek statues and such.
Tangent mathematics figuring out beauty and hip ratios etc. Tie this in with the perfect pheromone signature for optimum attraction. Greek statues are very interesting. EBT A1 keeps being a very interesting product. PCC is working well for me as a general mood controller and relaxation agent for both guys and girls around my area.
I\'m not sure what you\'re asking me. But I \"grokked\" why use fibronacci series driving home from work, it clicked into place and I \"a ha-ed.\" That\'s deep.
Wow Red, Stranger in a Strange Land. You never cease to amaze me. Do you really like my song list?
Id add the old hit from
2 Unlimited \"Nothing like the rain\"
Dunno i just love that old song.

Cassette distribution
Alex, Sybil, Maria and Khaiah
AVENTURA MISIONERA with Alex and Sybil Shaw, June/July 2007
Malcolm, Simon, Delfin, Khaiah, Alex and Sybil from Australia, Maria from Argentina, Elda and Veronica from Peru, made a great team for the recent AVENTURA MISIONERA to Peru!
They made plans to reach villages on the far side of the Andes Mountains. However, a missionary wrote warning of problems at the very pass (4,600 meters altitude) where they would have to go. The workers in a tin mine had clashed with police resulting in deaths and injuries. But this did not discourage the adventurous team.
They changed plans and went instead to the Cordillera Mountains to distribute cassettes among the Quechua Ancash people. This involved an 8-hour bus ride north of Lima to the city of Huaráz. Their contact person among the Ancash people turned out to be a Quechua Ancash speaker named Gloria Perez. She was well known for her Christian radio programmes. And what a blessing she proved to be! But let Alex tell you the rest of the story...
"Gloria introduced us to Pastor Walter. He was reluctant at first to accept our recommendation letter. However, he changed his mind when he heard the recordings in his own language. He sent us to Pastor Victor in the town of Caráz, a one hour drive up the valley. Victor invited me to preach at both Sunday services.
"That afternoon our team took some taxis to villages on the outskirts of the town. We broke into three teams, distributing cassettes house to house and then had a children's program at a small village. Veronica and Delfin patiently translated for us and the Lord opened the way with so many opportunities.
"The first lady who received a cassette was so happy to get it. She was still playing it as we passed by her house on the way back. She came out to tell how she appreciated the message so much. She was a Catholic and had never heard the Gospel message before.
"Delfin and Sybil went to the market to buy some sultanas. The shopkeeper was a lady who asked for a copy of the Ancash cassettes. She wanted to make her own duplicates to give to her friends.
"Generally we found people were hesitant and shy to receive us but when they heard the cassettes in their own language their eyes lit up as they recognised their language and they happily accepted them. We had opportunities to pray with some people about their physical and spiritual needs. On a number of occasions Delfin and Gloria led people to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their own personal Saviour.
"In Caráz we found 200 Ancash speaking women lined up outside a bank to receive their government handout. We distributed 80 cassettes to the ladies who were so happy to accept them. Altogether 350 cassettes were distributed in 60 communities.
"In Yungay town, Simon and Veronica offered a cassette to a lady. She had a difficult situation. Her husband and sons drank heavily. She was ready to receive the Lord Jesus Christ there and then so she prayed with Veronica. As they were leaving a white dove flew on to the roof of the lady's house; a fitting reminder of the work of the Holy Spirit.
"Yungay has a tragic recent history. On 31st May,1970 there was a devastating earthquake. A large part of the highest mountain peak in Peru, Mt. Huascaran (seen below), broke away and buried much of the town, killing 70,000 people. The local people felt this was God's judgment on them. How relevant for them is the Gospel message, that God still loves them and has provided a way of forgiveness and salvation through the Lord Jesus."
The team summed it up: "We have seen the Lord's hand on this program in marvellous ways for which we give Him all the praise and glory. It was a wonderful 'Aventura Misionera'."
The Ancashians chew coca leaves as a sedative to avoid altitude sickness and hunger. It also causes hallucinations which the locals believe connects them to the spirit world.
They believe that the local spirits live inside the mountains and need to be worshipped and appeased with offerings. They believe no one can escape from the power of those spirits. For this reason, the ladies will not take off their hats during the day, and people may reject the Gospel message because they are afraid.
Ancashian women tend to be the responsible people in the family unit. Men are often drunk and abusive. The Peruvian government assists many of the poor Quechua families, (such as these women we met outside the bank) as long as they look after their children, send them to school, and have regular medical check ups.

GALLIPOLIS — The beautiful, new building that now sits proudly on Fourth Avenue in downtown Gallipolis was recently filled with celebration and school pride when a group of school administrators, staff, community leaders, elected officials and interested residents came together to celebrate the dedication of the new, state-of-the-art Gallia Academy Middle School and the start of a new era for Gallipolis City Schools.
Among several speakers including school board members, city and county officials and State Rep. Ryan Smith, were former Gallipolis City Schools Superintendent Jack Payton, former Gallia Academy Middle School Principal Brent Saunders and current Gallia Academy Middle School Principal Craig Wright.
After the ceremony ended, Wright provided a tour of the new school to interested attendees and media representatives including the Gallipolis Daily Tribune.
According to school officials, the new school features 74,250 square feet of new and renovated space at a total cost of $10.1 million. The architect for the project was SHP Leading Design. Contractors and engineers include: General Contractor Tri-Mat, TP Mechanical, AJ Stockmeister, Econco, Claypool Electric, Wafferstrom, BBL Carlton, LLC, and Dynamix Engineering.
Wright proudly showed off each office and several classrooms, explaining all the new features and improvements over the school of the past.
The new facility has two fully functional science labs with a prep room shared between them; new classrooms with new technology; a new gymnasium; a kiln for the art department; and new office spaces, as well as a new reception area. It also features special facilities for autistic and other special needs children, including a sensory room and touch-screen technology to aid in communication.
One of the most exciting additions — one that is a first in the history of GAMS — is the new, stainless steel, state-of-the-art kitchen and cafeteria, a move that is very popular with students and staff.
Gallipolis City Schools Director of Communications Jim Craft said that, in addition to providing a safer bus loading atmosphere, the addition of the new kitchen and cafeteria has allowed a closed campus, which exponentially improves the security of students during school hours.
Teachers and school administrators know that there are additional benefits of on-campus lunches, however.
"Kids eating together at school creates community," said Craft. "I just can't stress that enough."
Mostly, though the new school facility has teachers and students excited again.
"It's completely changed the environment for staff and students," said Wright. "Everything about this place is now conducive to learning. It's an exciting time for us."

Am I correct in that ageing the cheese for 60 days kills any pathogens anyway?
about the whey seperating and that not being good, but can't find that post again.
Perhaps next time I should try even less than 1/8th tspn of culture (I need to get a smaller measuring spoon!)
Looking at your thermometer, you are somewhere around 95F. That is actually a little higher that ideal for mesos. Most mesos that we use like things around 85-90F and may not grow as quickly at 95F. Ironically that is also a really low temperature for thermos.
