Altering water pricing is one thing, but I hope that water provision is managed liked a sensible business process, where the extra $$ we pay goes toward water infrastructure development and management, and doesn't just end up in the coffers of the current (highly financially incompetent) local government.
It will be interesting to see how Canberra goes introducing a significant price increase to water. There is that famous bill of Human Rights Stanhope introduced, so it only makes sense that the ruling of the United Nations World Health organisation that affordable clean drinking water provided by governments is a fundamental human right. Many people struggle to pay their utilities as it is, (but somehow their VB funds never seem in danger) so we'll have to see how the only Australian leader who has introduced a bill of human rights goes about contravening them.
It has to be said also, that a price increase won't do much to reduce consumption. Look around, Forrest, Red Hill, Nicholls, Harcourt Hill, all those perfectly manicured lawns are still lush, while in middle class areas, previously green lawns lie dormant and crunchy. Water seems to already be distributed in relation to wealth, and judging by external appearances, the people using the most are the people who will care the least about a price hike. Hopefully we don't have another detroit, where kids are being taken into the custody of the state, as their parents can't (stop wasting money) pay the water bill.
Using the market to get better outcomes for the whole community is a good idea, processes can be put in place to ensure that everyone can get their necessary amount.
Apparently the Naas valley, should they build another dam there is both not a massive catchment and is geologically less than ideal for the purpose. So recycling (which is just taking the vagaries out of rainfall) is a solution.
Can we have a reverse carbon tax thing as well, where the consumer sells their carbon quota to the utilities as well. Maybe some sanity there would be a good idea too.
"years of squandered resources"
Last time i checked, water comes from rain. It's not finite, like oil. Forgive me, but it's pretty intellectually dishonest to claim otherwise.
I have a grey water tank under the house and I'm about to put a storm water tank in to supplement this. I do all my garden watering with the grey water but i would like to water the grass as well (hence the new tank).
As long as the dam has enough water for me to shower, flush the loo and drink, my gardens are fine. The lawn is looking very sad though…even the weeds are dead. *sigh*
It's always amusing how rapidly the supposedly fiscally responsible Party dumps basic economics when it becomes uncomfortable. If Richard the Pretender really wanted to look like a serious pollie, he'd bite the bullet on pricing, but no, he's taken the bob-each-way option again.
We as a community are going to have to fund additional water infrastructure; it makes basic sense to do this in a way that encourages more efficient water use, and that means pricing changes. It's not difficult to design a water tariff to be reasonably equitable while also giving people the pricing signals they need to change water consumption behaviour.
I think this is complete bullsh!# and another example of the government taking money from us "for our own good".
Similar to speed camera vans set up by Urban Services which are sold to as a way to reduce the road toll but have no effect on the toll whatsoever as the vans are placed not in times or places where the accidents occur but where the most revenue can be raised.
When money is attached to something the government gets attached to it such as alcohol, tobacco and poker machine taxes. The Govt gets so used to the money that reducing the use of these things becomes unattractive as it may do with water.
How about setting a household quota where the price goes up after that point. (So that the good folk don't get punished). Or how about introducing a corporate rate so that the diplomats, malls and contruction and cleaning industry consider their usage?
I think ripping off the public is not the answer
'influence demand' says Mr Costello, but BY WHOM, it should be asked. Reduce WHOSE water usage? Huh. Increasing costs will not affect either the big users or those who blithely use heaps simply because money is no object (eg the wealthier end of town).
This is far too simplistic, and clearly proposed (and supported) by people who have never done it tough. The market is a harsh taskmaster. I for one do not want a Dickensian world where those with money are somehow 'entitled' (because they have money) to do whatever they like, and those without it should know their place and it's their own fault anyway.
TAD you make some good points, though as I have said in previous posts, household quotas are not always fair either because there are so many variations on household size – and I doubt any govt would want to make it fair by having a per-person charge as it would be an admin nightmare. It has to be acknowledged that water is a necessity and should not be priced beyond anyone.
The fault here lies not with people's usage but poor planning and shortsightedness by sucessive govts. While we must address these things as there is a current shortage (due to bad management, maximising profit for shareholders and spending as little as possible on infrastructure for joe public), it does not mean there will always be a shortage, especially if our present circumstances are utilised as a wakeup call and infrastructure is built Now (ie, DAMS, not stupid shit converters).
Geez, 'drought and flooding rains . . '. Don't politicians know their poetry?
How does a dam create more water? I thought it depended on rainfall in the dams catchment area? Where is this water going now that we can dam it and not have to compensate someone downstream for it?
You may of missed it but yesterday all the boffins agreed that the drought part will get bigger and the flooding rains far less likely in the bottom half of this country, so maybe a rethink on building dams may be in order.
Boffins, schmoffins. They've been wrong before, if they were always right we would now be experiencing the start of a second ice age.
When it rains, (which it will, maybe not always when we want, but it will actually rain sometime – and if we are wont to believe the boffins – or should I call them fortune tellers? – it will be soon, seeing the El Nino is all but over) we catch some in a dam. A dam that's actually big enough to supply this town, even in drought conditions. There will be plenty for our beloved environmental flows too then, won't there!
the vans are placed not in times or places where the accidents occur but where the most revenue can be raised.
Nice derail – I'll bite. Let me guess – you just got a speeding fine? Dumbarse. I'm always amused when mouthbreathers like you claim that vans aren't placed to reduce risk, just maximise revenue. Think about it for two seconds, and you'd realised that to maximise revenue you'd have to place the cameras in a spot where everybody speeds – that is, places where people's reckless driving behaviour is likely to increase the risk of an accident. In any case, you're just one side of the dumbass coin, the other populated by people complaining that cameras are placed in the middle of nowhere, when nobody else was around, so what difference did it make that they were speeding? The fact is that speed cameras are absolutely everywhere. As far as I'm concerned, it's a voluntary tax on dumbarses, and there should be more of them.
Last time i checked, water comes from rain. It's not finite, like oil. Forgive me, but it's pretty intellectually dishonest to claim otherwise.
Another mouthbreather. Lat time I checked, there hasn't been any rain for a long, long time, and forgive me, but it's pretty intellectually dishonest to claim otherwise. (See how I put words in your mouth there, just like you did with JB?) Infinite supply (if there is such a thing) is meaningless if the stuff never actually falls from the sky. Try telling people in Goulburn not to worry – they should build a waterslide, because it's going to rain Real Soon Now ™, and once it starts we'll never, ever have another drought ever again. The new dams won't be like old dams – they'll always be full, and never run dry, so there's no need to change our old water-wasting habits.
Sometimes I wish a global warming-driven flash flood would wipe out Summernats. The irony would be too much to bear.
As TAD said set a quota. Set it so that we can achieve an overall usage which can be sustained by our supply. Charge a reasonable rate for that, anything over charge sufficient to really discourage it. Use the money so gained to improve our resource.
I have sent the following to the Canberra Times twice without success but having read the editorial of last Sunday I see they put their weight behind DOB in a neighbour. Perhaps sticks could be issued for beatings.
Here we go stage four with probably new moralistic stupidities. Perhaps we could install surveillance cameras in home showers to make sure we don't take too long or wash unnecessary parts. Its about overall usage of water not what it is used on.
We should take measures to save water but our Government and the ACTEW have strange responses to the diminished reserves of water. The usage of anything is controlled by its cost not by prescribing what it may be used for.
We do have a means of control it is called a water meter. They commonly occur on properties that use water! Set a usage per household and set a premium charge on water used above that. This is easily accounted for and collected under the existing system. The current moralistic ideas are ineffectual nonsense. Don't get the idea that I am a great waster of water and wish to continue doing so. My household uses much less water than most others. We have no garden, water feature or pool in fact the only thing watered outside are a couple of pot plants sometimes. Despite this if I were to wash bird droppings of my car that is a finable offence and somehow immoral. I could however run my taps straight into the drain 24 hours a day without any risk of a fine. Look at the rules they do not control total usage. You can abide by them and still waste water. The fines are minimal ($200) anyway and cost more to police and enforce than they recover. It is the good will of the householder that is controlling water usage at the moment nothing else.
If cost is used there will be no need for water police with their attendant cost, likewise no possible court action. Encouraging people to DOB in a neighbour is dangerous, how long before violence occurs? Those with deep pockets may use more water but they do anyway the fines are not a deterrent.
I had 25mm Friday nite.
JWH said that part of the fault of the lack of dam capacity is becasue the Governments are restricting capacity, to increase revenue streams to their pockets.
Costello is ineffect saying that the divdend to the Government will increase to punish us water users. I agree, price water to pay for infrastructure and to curtail demand in drought but I want to see the facts first.
One fact first is that the abstraction charge is a tax. It was never ever going to be used to build a new dam. So now they must do so by increasing the size of the Cotter. will the abstraction charge be used to pay for the new dam?
It's not finite, like oil. – That's absolutely correct. There is as much water on the planet as there was in 1700, 1800, 1900 and 2000. The amount of water on Earth NEVER changes. What we do with it does.
(btw, I can provide scientific analysis to back this up but I prefer not to bore people with the turgid details – and am too lazy to go find it)
"to maximise revenue you'd have to place the cameras in a spot where everybody speeds – that is, places where people's reckless driving behaviour is likely to increase the risk of an accident."
Sounds to me like you've been suckered by the govt's efforts to convince us that speed is the root of all evil.
How un-Australian could you get!
Thieves steal Southern Highlands school's water
Julie-Anne Adamski
KANGALOON: Teachers and students at Kangaloon Public School in the NSW Southern Highlands returned yesterday to find their bubblers and toilets dry, after thieves emptied their 50,000 litre rainwater tank.
Thieves had emptied a 50,000 litre rainwater tank, located near the primary classroom, the night before. It is believed the water was stolen in a large tanker that was brought onto the school premises.

Vic charity calls for water donations
Reporter: Samantha Donovan
MARK COLVIN: This is a weird country. At the other extreme, the severe drought in north-eastern Victoria is leading one charity to put out an urgent call for donations of water.
Anglicare Victoria says it's received more than 200 requests for help from people whose homes aren't connected to the mains and whose tanks
and bores are dry.
Samantha Donovan reports.
SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Victoria's north-east has suffered a string of calamities over the last few months: drought, severe frosts and then
Suzie Don Leonard is the Community Development Manager with Anglicare in north-east Victoria.
She says that some people rainwater tanks, bores and wells are completely dry.
SUZIE DON LEONARD: They are struggling, they are recycling everything they've got, they hardly use anything.
So a lot of people have dipped into very limited savings and they have dried that up as well, so they've come to us for support and assistance.
SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Ms Don Leonard that Anglicare Victoria has had about 200 requests for help to buy water or access donated water. 92 of those
requests came in just one week.
Anglicare is asking people to donate money so that tankers of water can be bought and delivered to those in need, or if people don't need all their own water supply, donations of the precious resource will be gratefully received.
Suzie Don Leonard says while many families are struggling with the water shortage, there's a hidden group that's are really suffering.
SUZIE DON LEONARD: And they're people who are caring for someone who is elderly who might be incontinent. There might be someone who's on
palliative care and we found a lot of people with terminal cancers, and we found a lot of people who were on kidney dialysis who required
regular sources of good quality water.
SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Jenny Giles lives about 24 kilometres outside Wangaratta.
She's completely out of tank water and is caring for her mother who is suffering from emphysema.
JENNY GILES: Yeah, it just makes a hard job that little bit extra harder. She's not very mobile. She's at the end of emphysema and she's
on permanent oxygen and things like that and so just to have a shower, before I got my load of water I had to actually take her into Wangaratta
to my sister's so she could have a shower and things like that.
So it was like a… just a trip into town and back took her a couple of days to get over.
SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Anglicare recently delivered Jenny Giles 16,000 litres of water which she's rationing and hoping will last for two to three
Jim Martin, CEO of North-East Water says he was surprised to hear there are people in such a dire situation.
His authority is only responsible for mains supplies to towns, not tanks and bores.
Nonetheless, he says he wished he'd been contacted earlier to see if help was available. He's now working with Anglicare to see if it may be possible to cart water to some properties.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Boda 40 Conversion Pack:
I was constantly going on short business trips at destinations that I also wanted to take advantage of the beach, a trail or a crag. My business suit could be exchanged for my outdoors clothes easily and the suit put in the roller carry-on bag, but what do you do with a roller bag at a climbing gym, crag, a trail or the beach?
This bag solved all my problems. I can pack my climbing shoes and harness or trail shoes and shorts right next to my meeting handouts. There is even a solid pocket to store my smartphone when I leave the conference site and head outdoors. There is also a nice separate compartment for keeping dirty trail clothes away from the work clothes and hopefully reduce dry cleaning needs.
I also like that's a balance between being conservative and sporty.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Boda 40 Conversion Pack:
Our family of six (youngest is 14 years, 5'2", 90 pounds) traveled throughout Italy this summer for three weeks each outfitted with the Boda 40. Perfect for hands free travel as we hopped on and off planes, trains, and buses and walked miles to our lodgings. Wish we found these years ago - will continue to use them for ALL travel in the future. Love the backpack feature but also the ability to hide the straps when storing in overhead compartments. The two exterior handles made this feature even better. Functions as a backpack but looks like luggage - exactly what we were looking for!

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Boda 40 Conversion Pack:
I am in between NYC and Asia. I travel for work and for pleasure -- sometimes on the same trip! Dirty backpack? Not good enough when you share a flight with boss or client. Rolling suitcase? Not cutting it on public bus in India or beach hostel in Vietnam. This bag is really good for someone like me -- who enjoys straddling both worlds and is conservatively indecisive about committing to either of them.
I've gotten compliments on the bag from plenty of people. It is well thought out. And it fits very comfortably for longer hikes (I'm a 5'8" / 1.7m woman). The color is mehh. But I still am very satisfied with the purchase.

The Edvard Munch painting "The Scream" sold at Sotheby's for a record $119.9 million Wednesday.
The 1895 pastel on board piece, which depicts a man holding his hand and screaming under a violent sky, is one of four versions of the painting and is the only one still in private hands.
The frame is hand-painted by Munch and is inscribed with a poem of his that describes anxiety, which inspired the painting.
The name of the buyer was not disclosed.
It was previously owned by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, whose father was a friend and patron of Munch.
Proceeds from the sale of "The Scream" are going towards a new museum, art center and hotel in Norway, according to the Associated Press.
Another version of "The Scream" is in Norway's National Museum and the two other versions are in the Munch Museum in Oslo.
The previous record auction sale for an artwork was $106.5 million, for Pablo Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust," which was sold by Christie's in 2010.

I have come to Nashville to yuk it up with Ernest P. Worrell, know-whut-ah- mean? But it`s 9 a.m., I`m here at the rendezvous and there`s no sign of him.
Instead, the dining room of this fancy brick house is full of cameras, tape recorders, cables, lights and all manner of gizmos and widgets. There`s a box of dachshund puppies on one side of the room and a three-man Indianapolis radio team on the other. In between, the place is crawling with snarling women and sullen, unshaven men. They`re here to shoot commercials.

JustinAmerica is thrilled to announce Drake White as the next "One to Watch" country music artist we spotlight. Named one of Billboard Magazine's Top 10 Country Artists to Watch in 2013, Drake is an old-soul, who writes timeless songs that reverberate with an appreciation for the things that mean the most in life as well as an infectious appetite for enjoying a good time and making the very most of every moment. Drake says of his songs: "I hope that my music gives you some kind of hope, something bigger than just the music that you can relate to and it helps you get through the day." It's easy to see why Little Big Town, Alan Jackson, Kid Rock, and Eric Church have all asked him to join their stage.
Originally from Hokes Bluff, AL, Drake's zest for living and his musically adventurous spirit were cultivated by family and friends back home. "I was always really interested in music at a very early age. Any time I heard music going on, I was drawn to it," Drake says. "Our neighbor, Mr. Brown, was a bluegrass musician and that's how I got my first guitar. My dad can out sing me. He's great and my mom is the same way. My father was a fan of rock and roll, so I grew up listening to Journey, Bob Seger, Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Allman Brothers. He was always into Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson and all those guys too."
We at Justin have already fallen in love with his soulful tunes and know our fans will too. Between his gentle side with "The One That Loves You Girl," and his funky rock side with "Alabama Dirt Road," how can anyone not relate? His music is right down our alley with small-town, genuine, country music that everyone knows and loves.

NASHVILLE — Tennessee Attorney General Robert Cooper gave Gov. Bill Haslam the legal go-ahead Wednesday to fill judicial vacancies, despite the expiration of the state's Judicial Nominating Commission this summer.
In the legal opinion, dated Wednesday, Cooper said that following a 2009 change in state law, the governor "has the authority to appoint any qualified person to fill a judicial office that becomes vacant after the termination and wind-down of the Judicial Nominating Commission."
Lawmakers ended their session last spring without extending the Judicial Nominating Commission. The panel accepts applications for vacant judgeships and screens applicants.
Last year, lawmakers gave final approval to a proposed state constitutional amendment on the November 2014 ballot. It allows the governor to appoint appellate and Supreme Court judges, subject to legislative approval. They would then run on yes/no retention ballots every eight years.
Haslam's fellow Republicans in the Legislature for years have questioned the constitutionality of the current setup in which the governor appoints appellate judges based on the impartial panel's recommendations. The judges later are subject to retention votes. Critics argue the constitution requires they be elected in traditional elections.
With differing opinions on whether the demise of the Judicial Nominating Commission blocks Haslam from replacing judges who quit or die in office, the governor sought Cooper's advice, spokesman David Smith said
The bottom line on Cooper's opinion, Smith said, is "the governor continues to have authority to appoint judges, both trial and appellate, to vacant positions in the absence of the commission."

From the 1930s to the 1960s, if you wanted a quick, simple exit from marriage, Reno was the place to go. "Divorce Seekers" (as they were called) flocked to Reno by the thousands, including Eastern socialites, movie stars and housewives, all seeking the "Reno cure". For three decades, Reno held the undisputed title of "Divorce Capital of the World".
In most other states, divorce required a waiting period of a year or more — and sometimes proof of adultery. But in 1931, Nevada made it simple to get out of the matrimonial bonds: A six week residency anywhere in Nevada at a hotel, boarding house, or exclusive divorce ranch; a list of nine legal grounds that required little proof; and an average of six minutes in court before a judge.
My fascination with this brief but glimmering period in Nevada history began a few decades ago when I met my husband, Bill McGee, a former Montana cowboy. After the war, from 1947 to 1950, Bill worked as the head dude wrangler on the Flying M E, Nevada's most exclusive divorce ranch (as they were called). The Flying M E was 20 miles south of Reno in Franktown and catered to wealthy Easterners, socialites, and Hollywood celebrities. Most guests staying on the dude ranch were there to get a divorce.
For many years, I urged Bill to write a book about his time on the Flying M E. After all, how many former Nevada dude wranglers were "still above ground" (as the cowboys say) to tell the stories?
In 2004, we joined forces and co-authored The Divorce Seekers: A Photo Memoir of a Nevada Dude Wrangler. This coffee table book has more than 500 black-and-white photographs (most never-before-published and from private family albums), is chock full of personal stories from people who lived through the era or their offspring, and includes bits of Nevada history. (For more about the book, see the page, The Book That Inspired This Blog.)
Today, few people know about this part of Nevada history and how Nevada led the way for other states in the liberalization of divorce laws. Through this blog and other endeavors, I hope to help preserve this fascinating history.
If you have a Nevada divorce story you would like to share, please leave me a comment on this blog or email me directly at email@example.com.

Easter, Religious Artifacts, Turin Shroud & The Holy Thorn Tree
Happy Easter to all and sundry as we celebrate the murder and resurrection of the Lord Almighty's son – Jesus.
Whilst I am not particularly religious, I have always been happy for the time off work and fascinated by the religious symbology behind Easter.
Religious artifacts or relics have been worshipped and debated over their authenticity for years. Objects supposedly taken from the actual crucifixtion include; wood from the actual cross, the nails which pierced Christ's hands, the Spear Of Destiny which pierced his side and the crown of thorns he was forced to wear.
Most have been disproven to be nothing more than fakery over the years, knocked up to encourage pilgrims bearing hard cash.
For instance, take the Holy Thorn Tree at Glastonbury; a site for pilgrims to worship at and recently chopped down by some devil worshippers.
It was famed as a tree which grew out of Joseph of Arimathea's staff, (the man who allegedly took the holy grail out of Jerusalem).
Legend has it, he took his staff and stuck it in the ground and it sprouted into a tree.
Its a nice story, but the truth is the council planted it in 1951 and if there was an original tree there it could only of stretched back to medieval times, (hundreds of years after Joseph Of Arimathea's time).
The Turin Shroud, now there is a mystery. Unproven to this day, that it wasn't the shroud of Christ after his death, with his face (or someone's!) imprinted on it.
Carbon dating tests in 1988 confirmed it was from the Medieval times, although this is under some serious dispute due to possible contamination of the samples.
The imprint of the face is yet to be explained by modern science as to how it was created. It was seemingly, created by some combination of blood, sweat and a sudden unexplainable bright light exposure, (the resurrection anyone?) .
Which leaves a tangible mystery and a what if. Which is just what Religion needs, a Supernatural mystery on a bedsheet not a bunch of uninspiring nails or a lump of wood.
Happy Easter!

Alumni in the News (1.3.14): Lists for 2014, Black Weirdos and Louis CK Can't Remember
: Main Campus Center (MCC), image courtesy of Cornish College of the Arts..
Brief highlights of interesting alumni news and announcements from the past month or so with links to external articles, websites and videos provided.
Every week Alumni Relations receives all sorts of leads on interesting alumni news. So much, in fact, that it doesn't all fit into the main news feed on the Cornish homepage, nor is it all necessarily appropriate for the Alumni Events Calendar.
In an effort to better share the great press you all receive and the announcements you want to make, every couple of weeks Alumni Relations will post a brief article highlighting alumni in the news, press releases, upcoming projects and other exciting developments.
The Seattle Weekly staff names the musical artists that Will Shape Seattle in 2014, Cornish well-represented with Lena Simon (MU '11) and Iska Dhaaf's Nathan Quiroga (TH).
City Arts staff name Sharon Arnold (AR '06) and Markeith Wiley (DA) as two of their 12 artists and innovators for 2014.
Chloe Allred (AR '13) launches "To Be Brave: Ending Body Shame", a moving new series of paintings inspired by interviews of women with histories of eating disorders, sexual assault, and body shame. Support and learn more about Chloe's work on "To Be Brave".
Paurl Walsh (MU '05) very recently digitally released the score he composed for Ezra Dickinson's (DA '07) beautiful solo dance work, "Mother for you I made this". Paurl wrote this score with the intention of it being listened to on headphones, as it accompanied Ezra's performance outdoors on crowded downtown Seattle streets. Stream the whole album online or support Paurl's work by purchasing it today.
Music alumnus Brent Arnold (MU '94) featured by VICE in the article, "Louis CK Can't Remember Cellist Brent Arnold's Name, But You Will".
THEESatisfaction's Cat Harris-White (MU '08) one of four highlighted black artists in The Stranger feature article, "Why Black Weirdos Are Real and a Postracial Society Is Not: THEESatisfaction Provide a New Socially Meaningful Way of Thinking About Race in Our Times".
New Releases From Paul Kikuchi and Tiffany Lin's (MU 08) Prefecture Music; The Seattle Phonographers, Greg Sinibaldi and Jesse Canterbury.

Travelfish correspondent Rosanne Turner
Rosanne Turner relocated to Thailand in 2010 from South Africa, where she was involved in the tourism industry, and co-owned several accommodation establishments. She has written for African and international publications including the Holland Herald (in-flight magazine of KLM), Explore Africa, Morning Calm (in-flight magazine of Air Korea) as well as several websites such as gotravel24.com and travelintelligence.com. Examples of these articles can be found on www.travellingpen.com.
Rosanne is now the Ko Samui correspondent for Travelfish.org. She enjoys sharing her discoveries of Samui after walking every snapshot-perfect beach, strenuous hill, coconut grove and enticing forgotten path in search of that memory-making beach bar or bungalow resort. Rosanne has scrutinised more than 100 resorts and hotels, and sampled countless Mojitos, fruit shakes and massaman curries in name of research and in the quest to provide readers with sufficient information before embarking on their island adventure.
Rosanne prefers to see the lighter side of life when travelling, viewing things from a different angle and appreciating the small details rather than the glaring obvious. She has not let her atrocious sense of direction deter her from exploring and her journeys have taken her through Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands, including Madagascar, Zanzibar, Tanzania and the Transkei as well as the Asian countries of Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Thailand and Malaysia.
Rosanne owns Samui TEFL helping others with a wanderlust to finance their travels by teaching English as a foreign language in Asia and around the world. She also admits to being somewhat of a grammar nerd.

Eating on Ko Samui for 150 baht per dayFirst published: 05 Sep 2012
It is a known fact that Ko Samui — and other Thai tourism hotspots — are more expensive than destinations less frequented by tourists. So is it possible to still eat three meals a day for 150 baht or less on Samui? For sure! The trick however, is to eat like a local and avoid … read the full post
Garra rufa fish spas on Ko SamuiFirst published: 31 Aug 2012
Garra rufa fish spas have been used in the Middle East for centuries but Southeast Asia has fairly recently jumped on the bandwagon and you'll find them right across the region, including in Thailand. These little freshwater fish originate from the river basins of several Middle Eastern countries; they also go by the name of … read the full post
Na Muang One WaterfallFirst published: 28 Aug 2012
Na Muang One Waterfall at Baan Thurian, about 10 kilometres south of Nathon, is a popular tourist attraction on Ko Samui that can easily be reached by vehicle. The turnoff is well signposted along the 4169 Ring Road, and from the parking lot, it's only a walk of a few hundred metres to get there. … read the full post
Learning Thai on Ko SamuiFirst published: 24 Aug 2012
Learning a new language is hard enough at the best of times and Thai is so different from English and the Romance languages that for a farang (Westerner), learning Thai can seem a little overwhelming. Anyone wanting to stay in the country for more than a few months however would be wise to pick up … read the full post
Wat Plai Laem, Ko SamuiFirst published: 22 Aug 2012
Wat Plai Laem may not be the oldest temple on Ko Samui, but it's probably the most spectacular, and a good place to take children for a bit of Thai culture and a break from the beaches. Although relatively new – it was built in 2004 – it's constructed in traditional style and methods, so … read the full post
What's the best time to visit Ko Samui?First published: 17 Aug 2012
The best time to visit a place weather-wise is usually a time that everybody wants to visit, so choosing a time that's just right — that is, with decent weather but some extra elbow room — can be tricky. Here's the lowdown on the best time to visit Ko Samui taking both weather and crowds … read the full post
Stand-up paddling (SUP) on Ko SamuiFirst published: 14 Aug 2012
SUP, or stand up paddling for those not in the know, is the latest water sport activity to hit Samui's shores. Unlike surfing, what's great about this pastime is that no waves are required – and let's face it, for beach bums in search of a wave, Samui features low on the list of where … read the full post
TEFL in ThailandFirst published: 10 Aug 2012
TEFL is Teaching English as a Foreign Language. This acronym describes the industry, the profession and all the courses you can take to qualify as a teacher. TEFL can be temporary or permanent.

Ko Samui's Big Buddha and surroundsFirst published: 31 Jul 2012
Big Buddha (Wat Phra Yai) is an iconic Ko Samui image. Located on the 4171 at the end of Bang Rak, as one rounds the bend to Plai Laem, this huge statue is glimmering gold and visible from kilometres away. Perched atop a platform, it's much higher above sea level than its own 12-metre height, … read the full post
Samui Football GolfFirst published: 25 Jul 2012
Located near the family-friendly beach of Choeng Mon, Samui Football Golf makes for a great family daytrip, or a good outing for a group of competitive friends, too. Exercise routines are often forgotten when on holiday, so this is a way to get the blood flowing without hitting the treadmill, and makes a pleasant alternative … read the full post

A Michigan middle school has upped its recycling efforts in an attempt to limit its contributions to landfill waste.
Fifth graders at Coloma Middle School spent this afternoon digging through trash, an activity that turned out to be not so pretty.
"We're going to be a stronger school together. If we can recycle, and everybody can get on board and we can be consistent with recycling throughout, we can help the environment, and that's really what it comes down to," said Natalie Macerata, a fifth grade teacher at Coloma Middle School.
Thanks to a $6,000 grant from Berrien County, schools throughout the district in Coloma will work on recycling. Those in charge of the program hope that it continues to expand into a county-wide sustainable recycling effort.
Emily Gallay, Executive Director of Gateway Services says, "It's not just at the school level, but also the community level. So we see the importance of it starting early, as we see in everything. Education, education, education. That's why we're really excited about the waste levels that are occurring."
Fifth graders at today's recycling event said they saw mostly apples and milk as they sifted through trash.
The Berrien County grant gave the schools recycling equipment and the opportunity to conduct waste audits like the one held today at Coloma.

Hello all,
I am new on here. I have been a moderate lifting and avid running kick for the last year (with the last couple months a bit more lifting and maintained running). I am now contemplating a bulk phase (not exactly even sure what all that entails?). I want to gain some muscle mass and be pretty ripped for the summer. I don't want to fully give up cardio either. What would you recommend? The only reason I have reservations about 'bulking' is that I don't want to get fat, to be frank. Any information and suggestions are appreciated
Here are two pictures of my current condition. The one with the glasses is from about 3 weeks ago and the other is from yesterday.

Amazing price on this tablet! I'd jump on it if I didn't already have a Touchpad and Kindle Fire HD! If you're looking for a comparison in one place for just the feature most of us care about take a look at this guide: http://thecreativealte
By the way, does anyone know of a reliable "rumor" site that may hint when the new Nexus is coming out? I've heard July but who knows??? My sister is in need of a tablet and her B-day is in late June.
I like the Nexus.. but 7 inch tablets don't have an appeal. As per all the statistics 10 inchers still seem to dominate and continue to do so.. especially when you have phones like the Note out there at such a large size.
it is a very decent price though...
@mychaelp, the price is not that amazing. Considering you can get a new one from google for 250+tax. Shipping can be disputed, I would not want USPS Parcel Post (Snail Mail) anywhere near my purchased items. Accessories all china made, and obtainable through ebay at a minuscule price. I do not see the this deal being slick.

- by Marianne Werz Obrien
2003 T-Mobile rider Dotsie Cowden won the Queen of the Mountains in the
Liberty Classic, came in 1st in the California State Championship
Road Race, and finished on the podium in the Tour of Bisbee. She helped her team
achieve victories in the Solano Bicycle Classic and the Elite National
Championship Road Race. Everyone is
familiar with Dotsie Cowdens prowess on the bike but she has a very inspiring
personal story to tell us, and it is not about the bike.
Just a few years ago, Dotsie
Cowdens life and lifestyle were decidedly different, and the outlook was
grim. Her health was deteriorating rapidly from the strains of years of
anorexia. Formerly a professional model, Dotsie was now gaunt, emaciated, and no
longer being called for modeling jobs. In
1995 her mother had organized an intervention, but Dotsie was in denial back
then. It was obvious to everyone except me that I had a problem, explained
Cowden. My parents sent me to a
treatment facility where I underwent group counseling. The problem with that was that the patients traded secrets about getting
away with your eating disorder. Its
common, but you actually end up learning how to better conceal your illness.
Fortunately around five years ago Dotsie awakened
from denial and recognized that she would surely die if she didnt seek help.
Once her decision to live was made, Dotsie was able to find the help and
support she needed to recover. During
her recovery, some friends talked her into riding in the 1998 California state
AIDs ride. While in training for the 600-mile endeavor (which she completed!)
Dotsie discovered her love for riding. Simply put, she was hooked!
Why is she now going public with this
painful and very personal story from her past? In telling her story, Dotsie
hopes to help other girls see that there is a way out of despair. That there is
hope, there is help available, and they can recover and rebuild their lives
just as she has.
As Dotsie explains in her Bio:
Im no different or more special than anyone else. If I was able to overcome eating disorders and get strong
enough to become a professional athlete, anyone can beat their eating disorder
to live a full, healthy and productive life. If sharing my story can help even just one person, then it will have been
worth it. There are so many girls
out there struggling like I was, some even worse off. Hopefully we can help them find the help they need.
Dotsie, what made you decide to reveal this now?
Eating disorders are a very private issue. Some people get embarrassed about
having them because they think theyll be judged. Some people take the view that eating disorders are our own fault
somehow - unlike cancer for instance. But it really isnt like that. Once
started, they take on a life of their own.
Why now? I have been fully recovered for 4 years. I guess I feel comfortable
speaking out now. I would like to be able to provide help to those who are
suffering. I know how hard it is. I know how it feels to be at a low point in
your life, a place where it seems like more than you can do to just get well.
I have been there, and now I have the tools needed to not only recover,
but to push myself on. To take it to the next level and become a professional
athlete. I hope that people can get hope from my example. I would like to help
others find those tools.
Do you worry that letting this personal information be broadly known might
affect your professional reputation?
No. I cannot imagine anyone in the peloton having a problem with this.
We respect each other for what we do on our bikes.
Have you shared this with your team or other women in the peloton?
I havent really told anyone, except my closest teammates and friends.
Until now.
Do you have
any aspirations about becoming a spokesperson and lending your professional
weight to the issue of eating disorders, as Lance Armstrong has done for cancer
Definitely. Im really just getting my feet wet now, trying to feel things out
and find the best way to get this information out. Id love to do speaking
engagements about my experience, and possibly write a book. It is so important
to get the word out that there is help available.
What was your
light bulb moment? The pivotal moment that caused you to admit there was a
problem and seek help?
There was no specific moment, really.
It was just truly bottoming out. My
mom had arranged an intervention for me a year before, but I wasnt ready. It
always seemed to me that I had lots of options, try a little therapy, eat a
little better. Finally I was just so exhausted. I could barely move about my
apartment. I was 59 and 100 pounds and I
realized there really were only two options, live or die. If I dont change
now, Im going to die. Period. Either die or live. Before it seemed there were
so many options. Now I knew there werent. No gray area anymore. It had all
become black and white.
What was your
treatment program?
There was one specific person I worked with, KRS Edstrom. I had seen four or
five therapists trying to find the right one. Though part of the reason their
programs didnt work for me is that I really wasnt committed to recovery
yet. One day I saw an ad in the paper for a lecture by KRS Edstrom, and -
entirely out of the blue - I went to hear her. She was amazing, and something
just clicked. I started seeing her intensively, 2 or 3 times a week at first.
She is a meditation therapist who deals with recovery from addictions, pain
management and fear-based problems.
This is the only disease where you have to integrate the cause of your
problem right back into your life. The very beginning of getting well felt
bizarre to me, to have to integrate the demon back into my life on a healthy
level. I would love for my problem to have been something I could just quit, it
would have been so much easier. With smoking you can give up the cigarettes,
with drinking you can give up the alcohol, but you cant quit eating.
Was cycling a
major part of your recovery process?
No, I totally fell into it. KRS is
still in a state of shock over that! I did an Aids ride for charity, and it
was just a neat experience. I fell hard for cycling. I loved everything about
it! I thought, "This is great!" With the wind in my hair, beautiful
coastal scenery, the camaraderie, and the thrill of making it to next stop, it
was just great! I fell into cycling almost completely by accident! What I really wanted to become was a rock star, but I was so bad. I
bought a drum kit, was taking lessons and everything. But I was hopelessly bad.
So I sold the drums, and bought a bike. In retrospect I still wish Id been a
great drummer though, because cycling hurts
a lot. (She says, laughing!)
The massive
amount of food you have to consume to get the calories required for racing. Is
that difficult for you?
We burn about 3500 calories in a
race, which is a huge amount of food. In stage races you need to eat even more,
because you need to keep up your strength. I will say that you dont enjoy eating as much in season, especially in
stage races where you consume 4000 calories and go right to bed. Which is too
bad, because we race in all these fantastic places where great food is truly an
art form! For me now, food is now part of the job. In the off-season fortunately
I get to enjoy socializing over meals with excellent food.
This is off
topic, but please tell me about winning the Miss Elegance jersey in this years
Giro Toscana?
Oh, man. I had a really good season,
and just had a really bad race in Tuscany. My teammate Kristen Armstrong
flatted, and I went back to get her. It was windy, flat, and we were going fast
trying to rush past the support cars. We almost have her back up to the peloton
when we hear this lady screaming out of one of the cars at us in Italian. I was
thinking - we are doing everything right, whats the problem? She is leaning
out of her car screaming at us finally we make out what shes saying
Podium, go to the podium after. So after the race the officials came and
took me up to the podium to get the jersey. I was really not amused. I mean,
Im at the point where Ild rather be recognized for going fast. But my
teammates got a kick out of it, and it gave us something to laugh about the
next day in the race! (Got your lipstick on?) And there is money for it too!
Any closing
Encourage those that are suffering to seek help.
Its out there. I know its a frightening road. Just know that it doesnt
get any harder than the first step. That is a very comforting thought. Just take
the first step and it will get easier.
I started this article I was overwhelmed by the statistics, the sheer number of
people suffering with eating disorders is mind-boggling. Having spoken with
Dotsie though I know there is hope! She
has a bubbly personality, and a truly positive outlook on life that is very
inspiring! She views her passage through this in a positive light, because now
she truly knows herself.
This summer the U.S. Congress
modified a bill on obesity to include language on eating disorders as well. As
Hillary Clinton said on the floor of the Senate "While it is so
important to fight the obesity epidemic, we should not inadvertently send the
wrong message by telling our children and adults simply to eat less and
exercise. Unfortunately, many adolescents misinterpret this as a message that
they should eat to achieve the body of a runway model. Anorexia and bulimia are
increasingly common among our nation's youth." Senator Clinton went on to
say that eating disorders also have their own very serious consequences.
Anorexia nervosa, which will affect 3.7 percent of American women sometime in
their lifetime, leads to heart failure, kidney failure, and osteoporosis.
causes for eating disorders:
* Low
* Feelings of
inadequacy or lack of control in life
* Depression, anxiety, anger, or loneliness
* Cultural
pressures that glorify "thinness"
* Cultural
pressures valuing the "perfect body"
* Narrow
definitions of beauty that include only certain sizes & shapes
* Cultural norms that value
people on the basis of physical appearance
The problem is that women dont
know where to get help. Dotsie explains, What makes eating disorders inherently difficult to overcome is that
an alcoholic can stop drinking and a drug abuser can quit drugs, but people
cannot go without eating, which perhaps makes it one of the most difficult
addictions to overcome. They
literally have to re-learn how to eat and maintain healthy eating habits.
Dotsie Cowden has turned her life around in an
amazing fashion. Hopefully the
story of her recovery will reach many young women suffering from our cultural
obsession with being ultra-thin. Hopefully these girls will realize that instead
of focusing on their weight as the one thing they can absolutely control in an
unpredictable world, they can instead use that focus on something positive such
as a sport. Like Dotsie did. Hopefully they will come to view an athletic
healthy body as beautiful and empowering. Learn that true beauty comes from within, and the exterior is
truly not that important. It is a
lesson we all learn eventually, at least if we are blessed to live to a ripe old
age. True beauty shines from within.
Dotsie went to four or five therapists before
finding KRS Edstrom. "KRS literally saved my life. If I had not found her,
I do not know what would have happened to me and my struggle with anorexia and
bulimia. She taught me HOW to get better and provided me with the tools I needed
to return to my life. She is an angel." You
can check out KRS Edstroms webpage here.
I wholeheartedly recommend that every woman seek
out Susan Jane Gilmans wonderful book Kiss My Tiara! Irreverent,
funny, provocative and intelligent, this book seeks to give women a new
perspective. Whether or not you have ever had an eating disorder, several
chapters of this book will have you reconsidering your approach toward food. Chapter
three, titled If You Cant Order Dessert, You Cant Ask for a Raise,
is a brilliantly humorous & thought provoking treatise on the relationship
between women and food. It opens
with a wry observation from Fran Lebowitz, Food is an important part of a
balanced diet and closes with a great quote from Gilmans grandma Once
youre dead you have the rest of eternity to be skinny. So why start now?
In between Gilman uses humor to make a very serious point about how skewed our
attitudes toward food can be.

Another book, which might prove useful for young
teens, is Wise Girls, the story of Jamie Lynn Sigler, the actress who
plays Meadow Soprano on The Sopranos. Siglers book recounts the story of her
experiences falling prey to eating disorders, and finally conquering them. (She
is also a spokesperson for the National Eating Disorders Association)

Crystal System: Trigonal
Status of Occurrence: Confirmed Occurrence
Distribution: Widespread
Chemical Composition: Iron titanium oxide
Chemical Formula: FeTiO3
Method(s) of Verification: all by electron microprobe analyses (EMPA). Anglesey - (Horák, 1993); Rhiw - (Cattermole, 1976); Snowdonia - (R.J. Merriman, unpublished data); St. David's Head - (Bevins et al., 1994); Tal y Fan - (Merriman et al., 1986)
Chemical Group:
- Oxides & Hydroxides
Geological Context:
- Igneous
- Metamorphic
Introduction: ilmenite is a common accessory mineral in many igneous and metamorphic rocks. It forms a series with both geikielite (Mg,Fe2+)(Ti,Mn)O3 and pyrophanite (MnTiO3).
Occurrence in Wales: ilmenite is widely distributed throughout Wales being present in many basic igneous rocks (both lavas and intrusions) and within the high-grade Precambrian metamorphic rocks of Anglesey. Where these rocks have been heavily altered, the ilmenite may be partially or totally replaced by leucoxene, titanite or one of the TiO~2 polymorph minerals (rutile, brookite or anatase). In almost all instance ilmenite can only identified by means of a petrological microscope.
Key Localities:
- Anglesey: ilmenite is the only opaque mineral present within the Anglesey amphibolites, basic igneous rocks metamorphosed in the amphibolite facies. It may constitute up to 5% of the rock (by volume) and forms irregular-shaped grains and crystals aggregates up to 1.5 mm long. It is most commonly associated with amphibole-rich areas of the rock and shows variable alteration to titanite (Horák, 1993).
- Rhiw, Llŷn, Gwynedd: ilmenite-plagioclase mesocumulates are present in the Rhiw Intrusion, on Llŷn (Cattermole, 1976).
- Snowdonia, Gwynedd: spectacular ilmenite-bearing tuffs of Ordovician age are developed in Central Snowdonia, occurring in the Lower Rhyolitic Tuff Formation, exposed near Beddgelert, and in the Bedded Pyroclastic Formation at various localities including Cwm Meirch, near Lliwedd, in the crags of Gallt-y-llyn and Coed Pant Agored, and also near Snowdon summit (Williams, 1927). The ilmenite forms platy crystals up to 0.3 mm in length and 0.1 mm wide. Electron microprobe analyses indicate that they are manganese-rich, with up to 10 wt% MnO, (R.J. Merriman, unpublished data).
- St. David's Head, Pembrokeshire: ilmenite is present throughout the St. David's Head Intrusion, but is particularly abundant in the laminated quartz ferrogabbros where it constitutes up to 12% of the rock by volume (Bevins et al., 1994).

Riddick Review
- Mad Dog Bradley
The third installment in the adventures of producer Vin Diesel's über-badass, glowing contacts-wearing and misunderstood murderer Riddick begins like the original Pitch Black, turns into something like a low-grade slasher movie with tedious Chronicles Of Riddick-like dialogue, and then throws in a PB-ish finale, as if writer/director David Twohy couldn't think of another way to end it.
Baldie Riddick (who the camera eats up with almost homoerotic glee) is introduced alone on an alien planet with narrating flashbacks explaining how he got there. Then we have half-an-hour of him fighting monsters and befriending a CGI hyena/wolf beastie.
When two ships full of bounty hunters that include Johns (Matt Nable), Santana (Jordi Mollà) and Dahl (Katee Sackhoff) turn up, Riddick promises to do them all in, one by one, as they argue like idiots and seem surprised as he does just that, before heavy rain starts and the ground outside splits, and out crawl creatures that don't care which of the remaining bunch has a price on their heads.
Fans should be happier with this pulpy nonsense than they were with the dull Chronicles. There could even be another sequel which, given the way that these titles seem to shrink as we go along (The Chronicles Of Riddick to just Riddick), might simply be called Dick.

The first Regular Meeting of the Lodge and subsequent meetings were held at the Gaiety Restaurant up to closing of the Restaurant in May, 1911, following which the Lodge met at the Café Royal, Regent Street, London until 1991 since when the Lodge has met at Mark Masons Hall, St James's Street.
All the Consecrating Officers, and in addition R.W.Bro. Lord Balfour of Burleigh, K.T., P.G.W., were elected Honorary Members of the Lodge. As a memento of the occasion each of the Consecrating Officers was presented with a Jewel. In addition to the Founders, the Consecration was Witnessed by 27 visiting Brethren. Propositions were made for 5 Initiates and 3 Joining Members.
Press reports of the Consecration appeared in the Daily Telegraph 11th May, 1908, The Freemason 16th May, 1908, The Freemason Chronicle 23rd May, 1908 and the NTC's house magazine in June 1908.

Stanley Goddard was the General Superintendent of the NTC - what today would be called Managing Director. His generosity endowed the Lodge with many items of its initial furnishings, including the three ivory gavels. But masonically speaking he was junior to W.Bro Frederic Harke and W.Bro Percival Kipping, having become a Mason only in 1905, so took the office of 1st Junior Warden, becoming Master two years later.
Stanley Goddard was born in 1863, the son of a Tea Broker. In 1880, he became a trainee Auditor with Quilter, Ball & Co and while there worked in the winding up of the old Edison Telephone Company. He became an external auditor for both the United Telephone Company and the NTC prior to their merger. In 1892 he joined the NTC as their first Head of Audit, but in 1893 was promoted to become Assistant to the General Manager. He succeeded to this post in 1907, at which time it was renamed General Superintendent. He was a key player in the successful transfer of the NTC into the PO in 1912. As so often happens in company takeovers, there was no place for Goddard himself in the Post Office in 1912, but he then became Vice-President of the Western Union Telegraph Co.
Our last remaining Founder W. Bro. Albert Frederick Paddon, G.St.B. (1935), P.A.G.D.C. (1950) died on 10th April, 1960 aged 85. He was a member of the Management Committee of the R.M.B.I. for 37 years and was actively interested in the development of the Telephone Lodge throughout its long life.
Bro. The Rev. Watts Ditchfield became the first Lord Bishop of Chelmsford.

It's no secret that the Autoblog staff loves it some Automoblox, and one of the latest limited editions is pulling on our heartstrings. The T900 Jim Hoffman Limited Edition starts as the company's T900 pickup truck, but with an exclusive green-and-gold paint job, the cool toy becomes a tribute to a truck that figured prominently in the history of Automoblox. Patrick Callelo, company founder and designer, says the limited edition was inspired by his father-in-law's Z-71.
The Jim Hoffman edition T900 features an "I'd rather be fishing" tailgate decal, is limited to a run of 750 units and for the price of $50 comes in a keepsake box perfect for Christmas gift-giving.
"The T900 Jim Hoffman Edition is interesting because the colors were inspired by our very own '95 Chevy Z-71 that has been an integral part of our business since we started. It was the daily driver of my father-in-law. He loved that truck. Right before he died he was bragging to me about his new headers and exhaust. My wife bought it from the estate to remember her father. It's been our work horse ever since."
The other two limiteds are the C9-SE and the X9-SE. Both feature Automoblox's first use of brilliant black chrome for the wheels and greenhouse, and both are signed by Callelo. These two are also limited to 750 units and come in a keepsake box. The C9-SE goes for $40, while the larger X9-SE retails for $45.
We've given away Automoblox as part of our holiday sweepstakes for several years now. This year will be no different, and we can reveal that these three limited editions will be a part of this year's prize package.

"If he's my starter, he owes me 100 pitches"- legendary manager, Kirk Gibson
Yet, a Mets official agreed that, with the pitching staff seemingly an asset, the team's fortunes will ride most of all on the offensive production (or lack thereof) provided by Travis d'Arnaud, the first-base position, Ruben Tejada and Chris Young.
Why those spots? Because d'Arnaud possesses high upside, according to countless baseball folks who have watched him, as well as the catcher's minor league numbers. And because first-base candidates Ike Davis and Lucas Duda have posted respectable offensive big league seasons relative to their positions, as have Tejada and Young.
With the Mets set for its first full-squad workout Saturday, hitting coach Dave Hudgens will formally begin his effort to develop and/or rebuild these key assets. Here are his takes on this critical quintet:

Aero-News learned Monday Sikorsky Aircraft has selected General
Electric Aviation to provide the new CH-53K heavy lift helicopter's
main engines. Sikorsky is developing the CH-53K for the United
States Marine Corps (USMC).
The three-engine CH-53K will replace the CH-53E Super Stallion
helicopter. The GE38-1B engine planned for the CH-53K is a
derivative of the CFE738 commercial turbofan engine and the US Navy
T407 turboprop engine.
The CH-53K contract and subsequent planned production program
could lead to the manufacture of 156 aircraft.
The current Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion aircraft is the
largest, most powerful maritime helicopter in the world. The Navy
deploys them from amphibious assault ships to transport personnel
and equipment, and to carry external cargo.
Upgrades slated for the CH-53K include performance, maintenance
and survivability enhancements, and reduced operation and support
Based in Stratford, CN, Sikorsky Aircraft bills itself as a
world leader in helicopter design, manufacturing, and service.
