A campaign to replace Port Augusta's ageing brown coal power stations with base-load solar thermal power has received an overwhelming thumbs up from the local community - and also has support from the company that owns the coal plants. Port Augusta is home to South Australia's only coal-fired electricity generation plants - Playford B (240 MW) and Northern power stations (520 MW). Both are fuelled by emissions-intensive brown coal mined at Leigh Creek, 250 km to the north. The two plants are responsible 50% of South Australia's electricity related emissions. The end is nigh for both facilities; so the question now is what to replace them with. One alternative would be a gas-fired facility. However, the Repowering Port Augusta report, released in April by Beyond Zero Emissions, says establishing a solar thermal based power generation facility would create 1800 jobs, avoid over 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and help address some health problems in the area. In a vote co-ordinated by community group Repower Port Augusta, 4053 local residents have thrown their support behind solar thermal and just 43 voted for gas.
Support the call for Australia's first concentrated solar thermal power plant.
The campaign for Port Augusta to become the site of Australia's first solar thermal power plant has escalated. Port Augusta residents will be asked to vote on the plan. Newly-formed community group "Repower Port Augusta" will host a weeklong community vote, which they say will show the overwhelming support that exists for a solar thermal future for the town. Port Augustans have long-suffered serious health impacts from the town's two coal power plants, which supply 30% of South Australia's electricity. Research by Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) says they need not suffer any longer. BZE says that shifting from coal to solar power will address longstanding public health issues and massively cut greenhouse gas emissions. It will also offer big employment benefits, from the maintenance and operation of the solar plants to the manufacturing that will take place in the area. Critically, solar thermal power will provide far more jobs for the community than gas power. Gas would also still detrimentally affect public health and the environment. Repower Port Augusta will launch the community vote on July 13 and will collect votes for a week from July 15. The groups says the ballot will ask "the community to decide if it wants concentrated solar thermal or gas to replace Port Augusta's ageing coal power stations".
One of the directors of Beyond Zero Emissions, Mark Ogge, was in the city last week to present to Business Port Augusta about the proposal to build a concentrated solar thermal plant.
Mr Ogge said it was "really great" to be invited to go into detail with the group on what BZE is proposing.
"The discussion was really good and the questions were great," he said.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Port Augusta in terms of employment and business opportunities that would result in the proposal going ahead."

The path from point A to point B in the de-carbonisation of the world's electricity markets is looking more problematic by the day. Even as more people can see what the destination looks like, few are sure of the best path to get there.
More and more reports are being produced that demonstrate how the world's biggest economies can be powered by renewable energy sources – essentially the wind and the sun. The EU has done its own scenario planning, as has the International Energy Agency and numerous other institutions and think-tanks, including Australia's UNSW and Beyond Zero Emissions. The US-based National Renewable Energy Laboratory this week released a report showing how the world's biggest economy could be powered 80 per cent by renewables by 2050. But the problem is how to manage that transition.
Most studies, such as the IEA's, Desertec's and NREL's, talk of a "new paradigm" in energy markets. But it's not just a new way of thinking. Some utilities who operate in these markets are more prosaic – fearing that these markets are effectively defunct because renewables redefine the rules on which these markets were built. Or, at least, they displace those that were previously favoured.
This is in reference to the merit order effect, which we have documented on numerous occasions, and which is now entering the broad lexicon of policy decision-making.
In part 13 of our multi-disciplinary Millennium Project series, Mark Diesendorf argues that it is high time we got smart about power: how we generate it and how we deliver it.
Global challenge 13: How can growing energy demands be met safely and efficiently?
German firm Solaria has released more details about how it plans to build a subsidy-free, 60MW solar PV facility in Spain – one of the first of almost 1800MW of such projects in a country that cut all subsidies earlier this year. Solaria says the plant, to be built in 2013, will cost €60 million ($A75 million), or around $1.25/watt – that compares to $2.80 a watt for Australia's planned Solar Flagships project (to be built in 2015).
Solaria estimates that it will be able to sell the electricity at €55-€60/MWh ($68-$75/MW), which will deliver an internal rate of return of 8-9 per cent. If it can tap into large electricity users – the self-consumption market – it could get up to twice the price. "We will build it in the second half of 2013 because we think the cost of PV will have dropped enough by then and, given the irradiation in Spain, will be totally competitive (with fossil fuels)," a company spokesperson said last week.
The emergence of solar PV as a "mature energy" technology that can compete with traditional energy sources without help is, of course, a game changer for the entire energy industry. Gehrlicher, another German company that plans similar projects in Spain, says solar PV will target the "self-consumption" market, for both small and large businesses and installations, while large-scale facilities will be built only by large, deep pocketed corporations – be they industrial or mining users, or banks and pension funds. Robert Kroni, the head of Swiss engineering company Jendra Power, says solar will be produced in Europe at a cost of 6c-7c/kWh – cheaper than gas and most new-build coal.
The people of Texas face higher electricity bills and the threat of unstable energy supply again this summer due to peak power demands - issues that rooftop solar power have been proven could address. Like many parts of Australia, temperatures in Texas skyrocket over the summer and this results in massive demand on the mains grid; primarily through the usage of air conditioners. During such times, the wholesale cost of electricity jumps dramatically due to peak power generation facilities needing to be brought online. Heat also has an impact on a fossil fuel based power plant's operational abilities.
Yesterday energy consultants EnergyQuest broke the news that wind power supplied 31% of South Australia's electricity in the last quarter.
Solar panels added another 3.5% to put renewable energy's share in that state well above coal (26%) and getting close to gas (39.5%).
31% wind energy is up from 21% 12 months ago. Just six years ago, the contribution of wind in South Australia was close to zero.
Beyond Zero Emissions spokesperson Matthew Wright says the findings vindicate his group's controversial Zero Carbon Australia plan, which outlines a transition to 100% renewable energy in ten years.
"The message this sends is that Australia can rapidly reduce its high fossil fuel use and carbon emissions, over ten years, not the commonly suggested 2050 date for serious emissions reduction targets.
"Our plan has wind providing 40% of the annual energy of Australia, and making that transition in ten years. Clearly, progress in South Australia shows that we aren't being so radical after all. Maybe our 40% was conservative: SA are nearly there already, and still adding more wind capacity.
"If we combine the variable output of wind farms with a flexible, dispatchable renewable energy source we can abandon fossil fuels altogether. Modern solar thermal plants, that can run around the clock off stored heat can do this.
"We are helping to develop a plan for the first such plants to replace the coal power stations at Port Augusta.
"Wind energy has proven it is up for the task. We just need to get the right policy such as a feed-in tariff to support the newer solar thermal plants, and Australia can kick its fossil fuel habit for good."

Former Death Row Records owner Marion "Suge" Knight recently reflected on his label's golden era in the 1990's and how big of a throwback music enthusiast he was then.
According to Knight, his love for classic soulful records played a big role on Death Row's artists.
"At that time, any time you got in my car, it was always old sh*t in my CD changer. Tupac would hop in my whips to go grab a broad or something. We'd be at the studio and he'd go grab the keys, hop in that mothaf*cka and drive and call back and be like "Hey, I'm in your car but why you don't got no good music?" It would be Al Green, Sam Cooke, Donny Hathaway. I'd give sh*t to everybody [and] because everybody heard it so much, everybody took took a liking to it, and adopted it. My family, that's all we grew up on was those oldies. So it wasn't nothing for people on the West Coast to take ideas or concepts from those old records and make them into hits. Even Snoop, his folks are from Mississippi also. People from the South, they was buying 45s and 33s, they was playing those albums… that was a big influence on every record on Death Row." (Rolling Stone)
Knight also gave his thoughts on Snoop's Doggystyle celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
"When we put out The Chronic people felt there's no way in the world somebody can ever do an album and it come out that well. When The Chronic was out, even Snoop will tell you, if he came on the Interscope side, he didn't see Jimmy [Iovine] any of those guys call Snoop in the office, chop it up with him… because he wasn't the one. And then when Doggystyle came out, sh*t, he couldn't walk in there without them trying to give him some weed. People thought it couldn't get no better. But the Dogg Pound came in and done well. And then came Tupac. It wasn't Tupac because he was a new artist. Tupac was on Interscope the whole time. They couldn't break a record on him. They couldn't make him a superstar. But the minute I got Pac out of prison…" (Rolling Stone)
Recently, Snoop Dogg downplayed comparisons of Top Dawg Entertainment being the new Death Row.
Snoop Dogg — aka Snoopzilla currently for his 7 Days of Funk collaboration with Dam-Funk — was surprised by GQ's comparison of TDE to Death Row Records. "They said what?" was Snoop's initial reaction when VIBE asked about GQ's comparison of TDE, the record label of rising hip-hop star and current GQ cover man Kendrick Lamar, to that of Death Row Records, the iconic '90s West Coast rap label that helped launch gangsta rap and released several of Snoop's early albums. Even hip-hop tastemakers generally agreed that GQ's cover story on Kendrick Lamar read like "a Hip-Hop outsider trying to explain this new movement to other Hip-Hop outsiders." So, we asked Snoop if he thought TDE was the new Death Row Records. "No, they're not the new Death Row," Snoop deadpanned, "because TDE did it completely different than Death Row did it. Death Row did it with a gangsta approach." (VIBE)
After being compared to Knight and Death Row, TDE's Top Dawg lashed out at men's magazine GQ a few weeks ago.
"This week, Kendrick Lamar was named one of GQ's 2013 Men Of The Year, an honor that should have been celebrated as a milestone in his career and for the company. Instead, the story, written by Steve Marsh, put myself and my company in a negative light. Marsh's story was more focused on what most people would see as drama or bs. To say he was "surprised at our discipline" is completely disrespectful. Instead of putting emphasis on the good that TDE has done for west coast music, and for hip hop as a whole, he spoke on what most people would consider whats wrong with Hip Hop music. Furthermore, Kendrick deserved to be accurately documented. The racial overtones, immediately reminded everyone of a time in hip-hop that was destroyed by violence, resulting in the loss of two of our biggest stars. We would expect more from a publication with the stature and reputation that GQ has. As a result of this misrepresentation, I pulled Kendrick from his performance at GQ's annual Man Of The Year party Tuesday, November 12th." (Press Release)

Comment posted Council Leader, Councillors, CEO, Senior Officers: working relationships by Simon.
Crazy make your mind up – it's either "However, I am in full agreement. This should be done by the book"
Or it's your previous comment
"There is no alternative, Sally Bin Loudon must go. A new CEO is necessary, one who is not a power-crazed control freak, but one who is dedicated to the actual requirements of the post. Honeymonster Hendry is long in need of being exorcised from his position. Time to hit the golf course.
The whole Education Department is in a mess (and Social Care), so Carol Walker (don't know her married name) needs to get the boot as well".
Crazy, you really can't have it both ways…
And by the way it's certainly not Karma. Rather it is mean-small-minded-vindictive revenge on officers you perceive to have the audacity to carry out the political wishes of the previous adminstration.
I shall have a nice day thank you – and a clear conscience.
Simon also commented
- This is nothing more than petty, vindictive, nastiness from an on-line lynch mob.
You want the alternative Crazy??? Well I am surprised I thought you said you used to work for a Council. Well no matter here's the alternative – if there is one shred of evidence of wrongdoing (and I do mean evidence not the "we hear", "we understand" or anyother kind of completely unsubstantiated rubbish accusationsof the type offerred all too often on here) – then the Council can instigate its proper disciplinary procedures.
But you certainly don't decide on the result you want before you do that. You don't trample on peoples' rights and you don't act in a mean spirited, twisted and bitter way. Because if you do it will come back to bite you on your bum.
Hopefully McCuish has more sense than the you lot combined!
I'll say it again – you should be ashamed of yourselves to join in this type of witch-hunt. Thoroughly ashamed.
- Well it didn't take you lot long – the adminsitration has not even been formally formed yet you want senior officials sacked.
So, is this what we can expect from the SNP-led 'Coalition for Progrees'? A pogrom? A night of the long knives? A vindictive lynch-mob howling for sackings?
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Recent comments by Simon
- In a party for whom 84,000 members are not enough for candidate selection, will Hosie's elevation curtail Salmond's ambitions?
To get back to the topic – does this mean that people who have been expelled from the SNP, ie local councillors here in A&B, are able to stand again? And, with the support of the SNP?
- Stramash award underlines sense of company's big investment decision
Well done Stramash and I hope this expansion works out for them. However, I surely cannot be the only one to find it rather strange that Newsie and FA have almost completely ignored the rural parliament meeting in Oban this week. Maybe she couldn't get press accreditation here either.
- Anonymous £15k donation to Mull's Ulva Ferry Community Housing project
Excellent news from an ambitious small community determined not to die. Their self-help bottom-up approach is in complete contrast to other threatened schools/communities that seem to do little other than whine, whinge and turn up on-demand to demonstrate outside Council meetings.
More cuts coming that's for sure. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/u/national-education-body-suggested.1415109075
ps If they do actually create a national education body that could immediately make the closing down of small, expensive, under-utilised schools much easier as national politician are less susceptible to local pressure.
- Planning permission for Ulva School Community Association Housing project
Well done Ulva for getting off their bahookies and doing something positive about rural depopulation. It's just a pity that other communities with expensive rural schools and a declining population don't do something similar.

For Lola's Boutique opening night, Friday 24th September we have a very special guest 'Timo Garcia'. Not only that but vocalist Amber Jolene will perform along side Timo. Support on the night comes from Paul Bradley.
Paul Bradley
Paul is one third of London's emerging Underground House talents known as 'S.T.Ruggs'. The House and Techno Trio are embarking on making a name for themselves upon the Underground elite and have been Djing and rocking parties since they were 15 years old. It's only in the last year that S.T.Ruggs have started spreading their sound around the London Tech scene and have already built a solid following from likeminded House lovers with an energetic and tenacious mixing style that doesn't give you any other option but to keep you feet moving.
Playing at venues like Pacha, Egg, Ministry of Sound, The Den,The Lightbox, Mass, Area... It has been a busy year for Paul and looks to get bigger and better.
Timo Garcia
Leeds is a familiar second home for Timo: he cut his teeth there in top music boxes like The Warehouse, The Music Factory and The Faversham at the enviably young age of 21 where his talents for reading and rocking a crowd were recognised from early on.
With records snapped up by hipster labels like Toolroom, Cr2, OM Records and Ninja Tune, it's clear that Timo's a man on fire. Big-ups from mega stars like Steve Lawler, Claude von Stroke, Tom Middleton, Louis Vega and Layo and Bushwacka also hammer home the point that Timo is someone you'd be a fool to ignore.
Radio 1's dance Dons have also shown their support, labelling one of his tracks as that week's 'Essential New Tune'. You get the picture: Timo is one of the boys: welcomed with open arms by our culture's elite and now a regular at haunts like London's mighty Ministry of Sound.
It's no surprise he's such a regular spinner around the streets of our fair capital, Timo literally lives and breathes the place with both home and studio on Brick Lane, E1. Nestled snugly in the bosom of uber-cool dance district Shoreditch, this locality allows him to selectively absorb all the best bits of Brit culture and intuitively filter out the many passing fads in favour of the cooler zephers which bring with them musical merit and longevity in equal measure.

Hawaii Five-0 Review: A Hero's Missionby Tiffany Vogt at . Updated at . Comments
Titled "Makani 'Olu A Holo Malie," Hawaii Five-0 Season 4 Episode 21 was a tense, heart-wrenching hour.
It started with a routine traffic accident and possible mugging, which turned into an investigation of a stolen transplant organ and an attempted murder.
But then a call from an old friend in Afghanistan took Catherine and Steve rushing across the globe to save a young boy abducted by the Taliban.
Hawaii Five-0 likes to be a show that has a little fun on the side in the midst of some very heavy and tragic cases, but it feels just a bit more true to life when you see two of the Five-0 heroes swept up into fighting Taliban terrorists on their own turf - all the way from the beaches of Hawaii to the deserted rural outback of Afghanistan.
Could those worlds be further apart?
When a friend from Catherine's past called needing her help to rescue his son who had been kidnapped, she did not hesitate; nor did Steve who joined her on this off-the-books rescue mission to save a young boy.
As much as we applaud that noble and fearless gesture, it came with a steep price: Steve was captured and nearly killed. Worse yet, he was forced to return home without Catherine, leaving her alone to complete her mission to find the young boy in extremely hostile territory.
It is always fun watching the Five-0 unit quickly and efficiently solve their own crimes. The stolen transplant organ was quickly recovered and just in time to save the life of a plaintiff's attorney suing a major chemical manufacturer in a class action.
It was a nice win back at home.
But the real story was what was going on with Catherine and Steve and the missing boy. Catherine and Steve should never have gone on their own into Afghanistan, a hostile country where their were vastly outnumbered.
But Catherine and Steve thought they could make a quick, sneak attack and save the boy. It was a strong plan, just lacking in back-up when they were out-manned and out-gunned. Catherine did rescue over a dozen kidnapped children; just not the boy she was searching for -- the son of the man who saved her life two years earlier when she had been shot and separated from her unit.
It was to repay Catherine for an act of kindness she had made years before in preventing his son from running into a minefield after a soccer ball -- a soccer ball which she got a U.S. military tank to retrieve from the minefield.
For that one simple act of kindness was a debt the father repaid by saving her life when she was injured. So when the father called begging for Catherine's help when his son was taken, she did not hesitate and was on the first flight out.
But Afghanistan is not a country for one person or even two people to try to plan a rescue mission on their own. Catherine did save a dozen children, but Steve was caught and nearly executed.
Fortunately, Catherine finally did something really smart. She called Danny, who very quickly got the military involved and an immediate rescue mission was made getting to Steve just in the nick of time was he was about to lose his head (literally) while being videotaped for the whole world to see.
But not before sustaining a vicious beating, which was distinctly unpleasant to watch. Torture scenes are always unpleasant, and seeing it reenacted even on a TV screen just turns one's stomach.
So it was hard to feel like cheering when the military came in and rescued Steve, killing all the terrorists holding him. It was not really a cheering moment. Steve had been brutally and savagely beaten. In fact, he was taken away in a stretcher barely conscious. Seeing his rescue was simply a time to quietly let the air out of our lungs and breathe again.
Even Danny, once he saw how badly Steve was injured and brutalized, looked shaken and yet grateful that they had reached Steve just in time.
That moment was a strong reminder that it takes a team to hunt down criminals, and that that team will care deeply if one of its members is hurt or killed.
Perhaps that bond of friendship and near familial love is taken for granted back at home. But on the battlefield, risking one's life takes on a more immediate meaning. The stakes feel somehow higher.
Which is exactly why Steve was so distraught and terrified to hear that Catherine was still out there on her own. Under military guard, he and Danny were not able to stay behind or even to slip away to search for her.
It was then a great relief when she finally came out of hiding to call Steve and let him know she was okay.
But the pained expression on both Steve and Catherine's faces was a stark reminder that she was still in great jeopardy -- and Steve would have done anything to be with her in that moment so that she was not alone.
Alone behind enemy lines and searching for a stolen boy, who may have been taken over the border into even more hostile territory. So when Steve tells her: "I love you, you know" and she replies: "I love you too," it is a piercing reminder that she is a world away -- a million miles away. He cannot just go rushing to her aid again, as much as he wants to.
Those tears in both their eyes were the tears were felt in our eyes watching them. Their declarations of love were just as much a goodbye as they were going to get. Catherine alone, across the border, attempting to rescue a boy stolen by terrorists.
It's a suicide mission at best -- and they both knew it.
Perhaps fate will deal them a kinder hand and miraculously Catherine will make it back safely. But this is the real world (for them anyway) and the odds are against it. It is a cruel nod to how this episode opened, the entire Five-0 team at the poker tables, throwing their money in the pot with such ease and carefree laughter.
But you cannot gamble in the real world and expect to win. If fate is kind one day, it may not be the next -- and they had already tested fate by rescuing the boys and the miraculous rescue of Steve from the Taliban compound.
It will be a roll of the dice to see if Catherine can rescue Amir's son and get out with her life, and those odds are not good betting odds.
So our hearts were torn at the end of this episode. Children had been saved. Steve had been rescued. A transplant patient received his stolen liver. But Catherine was still far from home and searching for a stolen boy.
This round at the poker tables had been favorable for some, but not all. In this next gaming round, Catherine's hand may not be so favorable and we just hope and pray that she is dealt a winning hand again.
I love the character of Catherine Rollins.She is a great addition to the show and to the team. She is Mac Garrett's squeeze. They are a nice and cute couple.They reach out each other and they care about each other. It won't be the same without her. I think I won't see the show any more. Andrea
I really hope to see Michelle Borth and Catherine Rollins back on season 5.
Another character leaves the show due to a bunch of haters who can't stand anyone coming between their beloved McDanno. The intolerance of some fans is unbelievable and the fact that Lenkov listens to these fans is even more unbelievable. I can't understand fans who campaign for a character to leave a show purely because they have no interest in them. I'm sick of how female actresses are treated on this show and I've really no interest in watching anymore. Just want to say that the acting was amazing from both Alex and Michelle and their characters were always great together.
I hope that the writers in the new season will follow up Steve issue with the CIA for withholding information about the INTErl and the source (Catherine) I mean I bet the CIA wont give up just that easily and wont pursue Steve in some way regarding this. It can be a good drama and plot to follow up in the new season and not leave the story unfinished as some times it has been done in past seasons with other stories, they do not continue or follow up. This new twist could be interesting to follow up and see how Steve will handle and defend himself regarding this situation and who will back him up and who wil not.
The directors and producers need to get there act together or O'loughlin want get to see his final season 7 because the show will die of very very soon get your heads out of your butts and listen to whats said
I was torn on this episode I thought it was acted brilliantly but I thought the story had a lot of holes. I mean when the taliban intercepted Steven and Catherine and she rescued the children they were standing right there and yet the Taliban doesnt go and round them up again that would not have happened. They would not have just taken steve and left without looking around for those kids because they were important to them. They just rode into a Taliban infested area just the two of them on horseback just like that ...so unrealistic. My husband was special forces army and a lot of the stuff on this episode was just crazy unrealistic. I realize that TV shows have to stretch the truth a little bit to make it entertaining but for me this episode was totally ridiculous plot wise. And the biggest thing I have a problem with is that Steve and Catherine characters were dating what on and off for five years and they've never said I love you until that moment? I really wanted to love this episode I was so looking forward to it but it just fell flat for me but the acting was superb!!!!! And it's still my favorite show!!!! :0)
Im gald Catherien is gone. She never really had that chemistry with Steve or even with the team, Steve care for her sure and protect her but LOVE her? I never seen a public display of affection between those 2 like a loving couple. She was just a filler when Kono was gone and made her part of the team to fill that void was the biggest mistake the writers did, as her character started to fall from there and the tiems she was on she really was like a supportive role or just to make up and fill a scene. In this her last episode when she told Steve she had to go after the boy I did not see her any love emotions towars that I mean I felt her dry, she sure said i love you to Steve but her eyes and expression was like she did not feel anything by leaving Steve, on the contrary Steve was in pain sad and anguished leaving Catherine out there alone and who know what could happen to her in the danger field. Peter said she was going to leave as a hero. Hello. What hero? A hero must had been she sacrificing herself for Steve or dying saving the boys life, which ultimately that was the whole purpose of the mission to rescuethe boy, that is a hero, not saying to Steve im going after the boy and rescue him and I dont know when I be back so sayonara Steve !!, cause as Steve told her or mention her, that could be acquire by sending the military in the search too and back her up it be much easier to find the boy but she wanted to go alone acting like this Super woman where she can handle anything and like I dont need help thing. That was dumb! I hope she wont return and find another man she can fall in love to in the process and dump Steve hehe!!
I guess you are one of these cat/Michelle haters she been good this show I just hope she has not be replaced by alex o'loughlins troll
I think this whole attitude of "people are jealous of new female characters" is ridiculous. It actually seems like people really like to explore the personal lives of these characters. Steve, in particular, has had the longest relationship of anyone on the show. As Steve's girlfriend, Catherine was interesting and allowed for some good character arcs with him. But once they put her on the team they basically ended their personal relationship, the 2 of them barely spoke! And they didn't really give her anything interesting to do that the other team members couldn't do. The show has brought in a lot of supporting characters who are really fun and interesting, but there are also other characters that you can tell they try to force in, with no clear direction. Catherine was a casualty of that.
I agree a full 100pc michelle has been made a scape goat her and steves character was awesome together maybe 1 person thourght it was to real and had something to say
That is not a fault of the character/actors. That is the fault of the writers. They have NO idea how to incorporate new characters into the mix. They make them feel awkward and outside the group. Kurtzman/Orci clan have huge problems with multiple characters and interactions of their storylines. Virtual every project, they have done is a reflection of this including their movies. Go see the Amazing Spiderman 2, the character interaction is awkward and understated. Either they will give you too much or give you too little. However, the actors do give a lot to what they are given. I will say they have the luck of getting really good actors. Which is why it is so disappointing when they are not given good material or their story-lines obliterated for no reason other than bad character development.
I totally agree. When catherine showed up here or there it was fun and light and I enjoyed the interaction between her and Steve's characters. Five mins here and there. And then they made her a series regular the chemistry died snd she didn't fit in anywhere really and it just didn't work. Her character just started to fall flat. And the chemistry between Steve and Catherine's character disappeared
I like Hawaii Five O but their propensity to avoid change is going to back them into a corner for cancellation. However, this is nothing new for the Orci/Kurtzman clan. They do this to every show they have. They lack inconsistency, they are FULL of plot-holes and they decimate the development of their characters. Honestly, how hard is it to incorporate another female into a police team? The Closer had about seven major characters, NO problem. To be frank, the Bad Robot team is getting on my nerves. The only thing they are good for is live action. I am not speaking on just Five O, the list is endless. Fringe, Lost, Alias, Almost Human, etc, etc. They will destroy Sleepy Hollow next. I am getting to the point that if I see their name . I don't want to see it. I won't even talk about their ABSOLUTE need to send their people on searches for the Holy Grail with clues or puzzle boxes along the way. I wish they would just STOP that. This is not Pirates of the Caribbean. There BIGGEST problem is that they are to spread thin. They have multiple movies franchises, numerous TV show projects. Even the Whedon clan doesn't have this much work to do and expect quality screen time. The next person to go will be be the Captain and then eventually the show like all their other shows. Six seasons is the max for this group, don't get attached.
Bad Robot is responsible for Person of Interest and that show rocks!
This episode was so intense to watch I hardy could watch the torture scene's. I really don't understand why it is always Steve who have to say good bye to a loved one this time it was Catherine after a relationship for many years they finally said the magic words I love you to each other a bit to late for me because we all know Catherine is not coming back and It will not surprise me when we get to hear they found her body in a episode next season. It seems to me when you are a lead character on a crime show you never will get a happy ending. Something that is really pissing me off. I am gonna miss Catherine and wish Michelle the best of luck in the future. The writers finally made up their minds Hawaii Five-O has become now a testosterone heavy show no woman is allowed to come between Steve/Danny. Not something I am looking forward to Steve and Danny are best friends nothing more wish some fans would understand that. Alex acting was outstanding the entire episode he pulled out an emotional, believable and heart wrenching performance in this episode wish we got to see more of this side of Steve. great job Alex!! kudo's to Michelle to.
Always Steve that has to say goodby to a loved one!!! Chin doesn't count.

Technology licensing company
Rambus Inc.
) is defocusing its Display business. Rambus reportedly shifted
all its Display patent assets to a subsidiary of
Acacia Research Corporation
). Display patents were offered under the Lighting and Display
Technologies segment. Financial terms of the deal were not
Rambus stepped into the Lighting and Display Technology business
in 2009, which was a vertical shift influenced by its traditional
(semiconductor) licensing business. Notably, Rambus strengthened
its new business area with the acquisition of a portion of
Uni-Pixel's intellectual property portfolio in early 2010. The
portfolio comprised dynamic backlighting based on Time
Multiplexed Optical Shutter ('TMOS') display technology. The TMOS
display technology can be applied to modern LCD display panels to
create more efficient and cost-effective devices.
Over the years, Rambus felt the importance of lighting
technologies in human lives and decided to focus more on
inventing newer lighting technologies.
During the third quarter of 2012, Rambus announced plans to
change its business strategy within this division to focus less
on display technology and more on general lightening to
capitalize on the imminent opportunity in LED (light emitting
LED is a semiconductor light source used as indicator lamps in
many technological devices and are increasingly being used for
general lighting products. LEDs are energy efficient, long
lasting, space saving but relatively more expensive than
incandescent light sources.
Rambus' LED focus gained momentum with a patent licensing deal
General Electric Company
's (
) Lighting unit in Jun 2010. Under the terms of the deal, Rambus
licensed its patented inventions to help GE manufacture a
comprehensive suite of LED solutions.
With the rising popularity of energy-efficient lighting, the
in-vogue LED products are finding place in the latest
architectural, retail, commercial and residential lighting
fixtures. To strengthen its position in the Lighting segment and
ensure patent protection, Rambus went beyond its traditional
licensing model to develop its first ever LED bulbs in Jan 2013.
The bulbs will feature Rambus' latest MicroLens optical
technology, which will help generate consistent lighting and
control spherical distribution of light. The company asserts that
the bulbs are economical (due to lower production cost), energy
efficient and long lasting.
Along with the bulb invention, Rambus set up a business alliance
with the Elite Group for the promotion and sale of its bulbs
across North America.
The decision to shed off the Display technologies segment is
going to prove beneficial for Rambus and we believe that the
company has the potential to capitalize on the budding LED
Though back-to-back blows from its legal battles with customers
such as
Micron Technology Inc.
), LSI Corp. (LSI) and STMicroelectronics (STM) are concerns, we
are positive on the news of an expected growth in the global
semiconductor market in 2013.
Currently, Rambus has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Amidst reports of a possible ban and having only been cleared by censors in Pakistan, the eve ahead of its international Diwali release; Yash Chopra's last directorial venture, Jab Tak Hai Jaan opened to packed houses across the border on Thursday, November 15th.
To celebrate the life and times of Yash Chopra, the television and film fraternity in Karachi gathered to pay tribute to this director extraordinaire with a red carpet premiere of Jab Tak Hai Jaan the same evening as its release.
Tennis player Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi said, "I'm not a big fan of romantic movies. But Yash Chopra has produced so many classics through out his lifetime and we all should come out and give tribute to him. And I'm just looking forward to this movie, I'm sure it will be a great one as well."
Despite Jab Tak Hai Jaan being Yash Chopra's first and only film to release on big screen in Pakistan; transcending boundaries, Yash Chopra is remembered and lauded by his fans, as the 'king of romance'.
"Jis qism ki log filmain dekhna chahatay hain, jis qism ka romance dekhna chahtay hain, I think un ko logon kis us nafas ka pata tha kay un ko kya kya dekhana hai. Romance kay moments to create karma un ko bohat acha aata tha," said Humayun Saeed, actor of Bollywood film, Jashn.
And even after his passing, Yash Chopra through his legacy of cinematic classics continues to inspire artists across the border.
Actress Humaima Malick who starred in the award winning film, Bol, said, "I am one of the luckiest people in this world to have met Yash ji, one on one. Still today remember, the warmth he shared with me and the way he welcomed me at his office This film brings a lot of intensity to me as an artist. Yash Raj, Yash Chopra was the one and only, who actually tells us how to romance on screen. And I think that was the most sensitive thing about him."
A son of Lahore; Mr Chopra's narratives like in the case of Veer Zara, have often brought forth his fondness for Pakistan. Only fitting for audiences across the border, to bid him adieu by on 35mm.
Writer Shagufta Rafique of Raaz fame, says, "I think if he were there, he would have been part of this too. He would have loved to come and see the film in Pakistan. He must be very happy wherever he is, thinking that there are people in the country where he was once part of, watching the film and admiring it at the same time. He would have been very happy."
Having struck a chord with audiences in Pakistan, Jab Tak Hai Jaan's red-carpert screening concluded to the sound of thunderous applause and a standing ovation in honour of one of Bollywood's and Lahore's finest - Yash Chopra.

Now comes the tough part for Pigeon Forge.
It was another difficult day at WillowBrook Golf Club for Griffin Gantte.
Picking the path your life takes for the next four years isn't an easy decision, especially when a Division I baseball career hangs in the balance.
The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association has asked Gatlinburg-Pittman to look into a postgame incident on Friday between the school's football team and Austin-East.
No high school football teams from Sevier County are in the latest AP statewide rankings.
It wasn't the best start for Griffin Gantte in his first trip to the state golf tournament.
Sevier County got its revenge on Monday.
It's finally The King's Academy's turn to play for a state golf crown.
It doesn't take a whole lot of research to figure out why The King's Academy volleyball team is so good this year.
The King's Academy took its first step toward the postseason on Friday, earning its first district win of the year, 34-14, over Ezell-Harding.
It was a struggle more than a game.
Undefeated South-Doyle entered its District 2-AAA contest at Seymour on Friday night without the services of its top offensive player and University of Tennessee commit Jocquez Bruce, who has an ankle injury.
Fulton's high-powered offense proved too much for Pigeon Forge to handle, producing close to 400 yards on its way to a 55-6 victory over the Tigers on Friday night.
It was total domination for the Sevier County Smoky Bears in a 51-10 rout of district rival Cherokee on Friday night.
A year ago the Gatlinburg-Pittman football team was just trying to beat Austin-East for the first time in school history.
The King's Academy jumped all over Pigeon Forge on Thursday.
When it comes to defense, Scott Meadows gets to watch other people work magic.
Spencer Cross showed, once again, he knows how to finish.
The King's Academy's trip to the Division II-A East/Middle region tournament left coach Butch Davis with some mixed feelings.
Tied with Pigeon Forge early in the opening set, Gatlinburg-Pittman was looking for a spark.
Spencer Cross put in a solid first day of work at the state golf tournament.
After three years on defense, Madison Thomas had to move up front for Gatlinburg-Pittman this fall.
It's been a yo-yo season for the Pigeon Forge girls soccer team.
It was the start Sevier County needed.
Pigeon Forge allowed just one first down in the first half and rushed for more than 200 yards on its way to a dominant 42-14 win over visiting Grainger High School on Friday.

Osama Bin Laden: Dead!by Free Britney at . Comments
Osama bin Laden is dead. This is not a hoax. The world's most notorious terrorist has been killed by U.S. military forces, according to breaking news reports.
The mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the leader of Al Qaeda was reportedly shot in the head in Afghanistan and his body is in U.S. hands.
Bin Laden is believed to have been taken down by U.S. assets in a mansion outside Islamabad, Pakistan, along with other members of his family, officials say.
Osama bin Laden (1957-2011).
Already a notorious fugitive before the 9/11 attacks that killed over 3,000 people, capturing Osama had been a key national security priority for a decade.
Few additional details have been confirmed about bin Laden's death at this time, but President Barack Obama will address the nation shortly to provide them.
The administration is still gathering intelligence and will be briefing congressional officials in advance of the President's address to America tonight.
Obama will deliver the news to the nation in an address from the White House, almost 10 years after the catastrophic attacks bin Laden orchestrated.
Story developing ...
UPDATE: The Al Qaeda leader was shot in the head by U.S. forces in a mansion in Abbottabad, about 31 miles north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
Four others in the compound were also killed. One of them was bin Laden's adult son; another was a woman being used as a shield by a male combatant.
Osama bin Laden's body was later buried at sea, an official said. Many Muslims adhere to the belief that bodies should be buried within one day.
Official did not release additional details about the burial of the notorious Saudi native, but said it was handled in keeping with Muslim customs.
In an address to the nation, the President called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."
"Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan," Obama said.
"A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties."
"After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."
Obama said the operation was planned for months.
Technico is obviously drunk! What a loser!!
Ok for one it was a Navy Seal team not Army Special Forces and for two I hope he gets eaten by sharks fighting over his piece of shit body. Him and his whole family should have been stoned to death in time square for everyone to see. Fuck Osama Bin Laden and his entire family!
Burn long and slow in hell bin laden and all who follow you!!!!!!!
whats with people thinkin he's still alive?why would they say they killed him if they didnt?HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED,AMERICAN BULLETS IN HIS NOGIN!-ANY ONE WHO THINKS HE AINT DEAD IS OFF THERE FRICKIN MEDS.GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR SOLDIERS!!
i hope he rests he crap he is so stupid
rest in shit!
Evidently he was hiding out in the suburbs,just waiting for our U.S. armed forces to take him out!!
well done to our brothers in arms and the American special forces, god bless you all on an operation to long in coming, my only regret is that i could not be there with you,thank you for making our world that little bit more safer, binladen will not be missed.
To the rest of the world this is not over, we all have to play our part and be more vigilant than ever, Rule Britania and God bess America.
Rest in piece all i can say . God will charge him.I'm glad Obama get him not Bush.
Ah do not say it's a lie whatsoever. At least they make en effort to help everyone. Let's just see if it's true or not. If it is, what are you gonna do about it?

We spent several nights here and it was lovely. This is truly a country inn, away from the beach, inland among the rainforests. It's beautiful, but mosquitoes are everywhere, so be prepared. Owners and managers are charming, friendly and helpful. Our room was the Yellow Ginger Suite and is great. All very rural, only modest air conditioning, but all usual... More

ConvenientPosted Nov 22, 2014
Only complaint I have about this hotel is the lack of space. Our room was long enough, but just not wide enough. There were only about 14 inches between the bed and the wall, which was the passage to the other bed and the bathroom, and nowhere to put your suitcase. Otherwise, the room was very comfortable, with good facilities, and the hotel very conveniently situated.

Just ok.Posted Nov 17, 2014
Location: Right by Copley Square (nice plaza with a church) & Copley Place (a mall) & a few blocks to Newberry St (coolest shopping district in town).
Tiny rooms, but clean. Desk was extremely wobbly, which I remedied by hand tightening the nuts. So there's a lack of attention to maintenance. There's a decent mid-priced café attached to the hotel with good salads & desserts. Biggest disappointments where: 1) Wake up call was 30 minutes late 1st night & 10 minutes late next, 2) their computer could not print my boarding pass & staff couldn't figure it out.

Excellent location in the Back Bay.Posted Nov 16, 2014
Pros: Hotel 140 represented real value for money and was clean, quiet and the central location meant that everything was in easy reach.
Cons: The coffee making facility in the room was a bit limited, only holds one cup. No kettle so instant coffee or tea was not an option.
Location: Terrific location, short walk to Prudential Centre, the park, Copley Square. Transport links. Easy walk to Quincy Market and all other attractions.
Hotel 140 was excellent value for money and boasts a terrific location in the Back Bay area of Boston. Situated right next to the Hancock Tower. Everything was within walking distance. The autumn colours were terrific and transport via MBTA great value, 7 day pass for as little as £10, which can be used on the Logan Airport shuttle as well. The City of Boston has something far everyone, thoroughly recommended. Recommend the Cheesecake Factory for eating out, excellent value and great Cheesecake as well as a lot of variety for mains. Whiskeys bar for great ribs. Particular mention to Nancy, receptionist at Hotel 140 for great service, most helpful.

Hotel well locatedPosted Nov 9, 2014
Pros: Close to where we wanted to be and there was food available on site
Cons: The decor, rooms seemed a bit drab
Location: Close to Copley Square and public transport
Overall or stay in Boston was very pleasant with plenty of things to do, however it was quite expensive

Why have 24 hour staffing?Posted Nov 8, 2014
The hotel staff seemed put out. They missed my wake up call three out of the four nights I stayed there, there were two staff members that were friendly and helpful.

Excellent hotel in a wonderful areaPosted Nov 5, 2014
We had four fantastic nights in this hotel. The room was spotlessly clean if a touch on the small side. But who needs a massive room. Hotel staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The staff in the Viga cafe were brilliant , especially the guy on the cash register. Hotel is handily placed for all Bostons attractions. Everywhere is within walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

Nice but noisyPosted Oct 27, 2014
Pros: location, staff
Cons: better construction room that protect noises and light
Location: Near subway and walking distances to many attractions.
My room is cheaper because it's for a single person. However, it's still almost $200 per room. It's a small room with a small bed next to the trash room with a small window. It's noisy when staff do the cleaning and when people walk by. You can hear the noises and see the light come through the door. I think there is no insulation or seal around the door. But overall, the hotel is great location. Staff is helpful. Room is clean, nice touch with a coffee maker and a refrigerator.

Hotel 140 Back Bay AreaPosted Oct 19, 2014
Pros: Copley square was just around the corner and everything was in walking distance. The cleanliest of the room was excellent.
Cons: I didn't stay in the hotel long enough to judge this but I would go back.
Location: Excellent location, walking distance to Freedom trail, town centre, and all shops and restaurants.
We checked in at about 18:30 local time and had a warm welcome to the hotel, after a long day it was nice to reach our destination. We stayed two nights where the room was quiet. We had breakfast in the hotel where the chef cooked us lovely omelettes. The hotel was only a minute away from Copley Square which was ideal especially as we were taking the shuttle bus to the airport early in the morning (05:00).

Not a surprise that I dropped off the face of DA only to randomly come back again huh? lol
Anyway sorry for no activity on here yet again but here's whats been going down for me:
I've been back to college for my graphics design course for the last 6-7 weeks and I've been enjoying the new course along with the new mates that I've made as well.
But the course work is consuming. I've been getting homework up the arse and I even got homework for this half-term for the current project in the new course so this is why I haven't be able to get on here and do my own thing as well and probably won't for sometime.
And now for the main piece of this journal update. As the title says, yes I am planning on moving DA accounts and this means at some point this old account will be dead completely.
But I want to say thank you for all the people who comment on my art and stuff so far and a big thank you to all my buddy and pals that I have made here on this account but I've been wanting to move accounts for sometime and recent things on here and life has made me want to move on from this old account that I made 6 years ago.
Isn't it funny that I'm moving accounts around the time that I made this account all those years ago? XP
Whats going to happen is that all the stuff here except this journal will be taken down at some point to be ready for the move. I will be noting friends of my new account so I can continue to comment on your awesome stuff and so I can still be a little git to some off you still
And when I get the time, the new account will have my new art, characters and so on.
So that's pretty much it for the moment.
TL'DR: Life's been busy, making a new account and moving to it XP
See ya guys around and thanks for such a great time on this account. I will be back with my new account. When? Not sure but you will know for sure when it happens. I'll make it too hard not to notice for some of you

What an amazing experience!! We loved every minute of our time on this trip!
Pompeii was fascinating and although it was very hot, we still enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide was fabulous and very informative!
Sorrento is simply stunning and next time we visit I think we will spend a week there. The weather was perfect, our hotel was superb - We stayed at The Grand Hotel Capodimonte and there is so much to do and see! The shopping is incredible!!!
Capri and Ana Capri were also gorgeous, lots of lovely shops, the chairlift is worth doing and luckily we got to see the Blue Grotto! Our guide for the Capri day trip was Sascha, he was just wonderful and had a great sense of humour and was very informative!
I thoroughly recommend this trip is you have limited time and want to experience a small portion of the Amalfi Coast.
I would and have already recommend this tour to others! The hotel in Sorrento was absolutely amazing and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Capri and Pompeii were very good as well. Only thing I would change is we had no time to swim in Capri. There was plenty of time waiting around we could of
This was a great experience all around. The hotel in Sorrento was a wonderful surprise. Considering everything included in this excursion it is well worth the money.
This trip was the best vacation we ever had. The hotels and the food were outstanding. The front desk representative was helpful, patient with all of my questions, the waiters and MaitreD were professional and always helpful. I would quickly recommend the trip to anyone
We had an amazing time! We stayed at the Ambasciatori and got upgraded to a suite with a sea view which was such a nice touch. Most of the tour guides were great and very helpful, especially Ornella. As expected, Naples was not very exciting but we really enjoyed the rest of the tour.
Thought the whole trip was great value for money. Naples tour was dull but apart from that the rest of the trip was excellent. Organization and tour guides throughout Pompeii and Capri were very good. Hotel was amazing, lovely location and great food and service.
The 3 day Italy Trip was an excellent value. Sorrento and Capri were so beautiful and Pompeii was very interesting. The stop in Naples was unnecessary as we simply passed by points of interest. Our guide of Pompeii was very knowledgeable. Sacha was an excellent guide and made our time in Capri extra special. Although we weren't able to see the Blue Grotto, due to weather, we did buy tickets for the chair lift in Anacapri and the views were amazing. Two negatives were that the tour company tried to switch our hotels which was very upsetting and stressful. When I booked with Viator I already had reservations in one of the top hotels in Sorrento. I only decided to switch to the Viator trip because you assured me that I would be placed in one of the hotels listed in the description of the trip. I did a lot of research on the hotels and felt comfortable giving up my reservation for one of the hotels offered with the 3 Day Trip. Then when I called the day before out tour left to confirm the hotel placement,the tour company told me that I was being placed in a different hotel and that there was nothing that they could do. Luckily after much discussion, they placed me in the original hotel that was listed, however, this situation was unacceptable and stressful in the middle of our vacation. I must say that the Hotel Capidomonte was absolutely wonderful. The service, meals and views from our rooms were first class. The only other problem, which should be addressed, is that the tour guide (forgot her name) that transitioned us from Pompeii to Sorrento recommended a private tour of Amalfi and said that she would be available by phone to help us make arrangements. We did call her and never received a return phone call. (We weren't the only ones with this experience.) Luckily, our hotel recommended a driver and we had a wonderful day. I should also mention that the guide from Sorrento back to Rome (also forgot her name) was excellent-so interested in each guest.
Totally fantastic tour. All of our tour guides were excellent and we got to see a wide variety of people, places and things all over the Amalfi Coast. The Grand Hotel Amabsciatori was absolutely gorgeous and accommodating with an excellent restaurant that has the perfect view of Mount Vesuvius. This was the best part of our trip -- I wish we could've stayed in Sorrento for a month!
Jayne T
Great tour. Well organized. The accommodation options are great. Would recommend this tour.
I was amazed at the organization of the tour's timed components. Dropping off and picking us up for the blue grotto excursion and all the pieces and the large number of people could have been a nightmare, but not for the tour operators. Sure there was some waiting, but if you did what you were told, you ended up in the right place. With plenty of time for shopping, and the sweetest garden spot for lunch, they took great care in making a delightful experience. My friend and I had a great time, met delightful people from Australia, and would use them again. Our hotel, Cape de Monte was the best! It had an amazing views from the restaurant and our room. Sorrento was our favorite.
This tour was amazing!
This 3-day Italy trip was one of three tours we booked through Viator for our recent visit to Italy in June 2014. What a great experience! The tour was professionally organized and timely. The hotel we stayed at in Sorrento was like heaven on earth. We couldn't believe the view from our room; it was definitely worth more than the money paid for the entire tour. I highly recommend Viator.
This tour was spectacular. Only a short time in Naples and I'm sure there was more to see than we did. It seemd like we only stopped there to drop off the people on the day trip. Pompeii was amazing. Our guide was a bit heavy handed and wasn't that lively, lacked a sense of humour. The guide for Capri was wonderful, funny and full of knowledge. Capri was beautiful, not long enough there. The hotel in Sorrento was first class. Would have been nice to have the choice of whether to hav evening meal at the hotel on one of the nights as it would have been nice to experience Sorrento. Through the coach agent she arranged for a group of us to visit Positano the next morning. anothwe Wow experience. Trip well worth the money and could be extended another day.
Lovely trip - Pompeii tour was very informative and we had time to shop and have a coffee afterwards - (the best place to purchase Limoncello Liquor). Lunch was outside in a lovely restaurant with local food. The motel in Sorrento was beautiful and the restaurant we dined alone with full range on the menu and overlooking the bay - a stunning view. In Capri we took the boat into the Blue Grotto, went up the hill on the chairlift to see the amazing views. We had the last day to ourselves to wander around Sorrento or take a local bus down to the Amalfi Coast. On our return to Rome we were supposed to have a Motel drop-off, however we were left stranded with all our bags, some 3-5 km from our motel and were told it was just 100 meters walk around the corner. This spoiled up to that day a very good trip.
Absolute top. When we came to the Capri part of the trip the whole group of 20 persons had become friends and Marco appeared. He was clever and very very funny so we all got a memory for lifetime.

July 10, 2007
Poultry sales and shows in Virginia have been banned for the rest of the month following the discovery of suspected avian flu antibodies in a flock of turkeys on a Shenandoah farm.
State veterinarian Richard Wilkes issued an order Monday canceling the sales. Elaine Lidholm, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, says the ban remains in effect until July 30th.
Wilkes also issued a ban in 17 western Virginia counties on the transfer and application of poultry litter, a combination of floor shavings and manure that is either processed into fertilizer or spread directly on fields.
West Virginia has also canceled all poultry shows and sales for the next 30 days. The antibodies, discovered in 54,000 turkeys during a routine test last week, match those in a mild strain of the avian influenza.
Lidholm says the farm near Mount Jackson has been placed under quarantine, and can only receive essential supplies such as feed or emergency veterinary visits
