Gourmet Century
Report by Pete Salomone:
The gourmet century is exactly
what it sounds like – a century
ride stopping at excellent restaurants
& cafes for food. When another
good restaurant opened on one
of our routes we got the idea
of a gourmet century consisting
of two stops and then a meal
after the ride. One of our objectives
was to be calorie neutral after
the ride, which meant eating
a few thousand calories during
the ride – about 4,000. We had
some pre-rides to check out
parts of the route.

Chefs of the future get off to a frying start
Published Wednesday 14 March 2012
A cooking course which gives young people a taster of what it's like to work in a professional kitchen has been launched by Barnet Council.
The ten week 'Kitchen basics' programme at Canada Villa Youth Activity Centre, Mill Hill, introduces budding chefs to food preparation skills and techniques, giving them the confidence to continue cooking outside of the classroom.
Targeted towards those who are currently not in full-time education or work, the programme helps those interested in pursuing a career in the food and catering industry by teaching the importance of working as a team, how and where ingredients are grown as well as industry health and safety laws and practices.
Each session is led by a trained tutor in a professionally equipped kitchen, reproducing a similar environment to that of some of London's top restaurants.
The programme culminates in a 'showcase' event where local industry partners and businesses are invited to sample a range of dishes prepared by the young people, providing an opportunity to gain further work placements or employment.
The planning, marketing and preparation for the event will be organised by the young people themselves, allocating roles and responsibilities amongst themselves, helping to hone their business accruement.
Throughout the course, young people will also be given pointers on personal budgeting and money management, producing or improving a CV alongside setting out clear goals for the future once they have completed the course.
Councillor Andrew Harper, Cabinet Member for Education, Children and Families said:
"It's important younger members of our community, who, for which ever reason, are not in full-time education of work, are able to learn a new skill which will hopefully set them in good stead for the future. This programme is the latest in a number being run by the council's children's service, which I'm sure, will prove just as successful and rewarding for all involved."
The cookery course runs every Thursday and Friday between 12.30 - 3.30pm. For more information contact Canada Youth Villa on 0208 359 3530

225 Sir Geoffrey Whiskard, U.K. High Commissioner in Australia, to Mr A. Eden, U.K. Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs
Cablegram 135 10 May 1940,
In the course of conversation last night Prime Minister [1] sharply criticised the tone both of Parliament and Press in the United Kingdom regarding Norwegian campaign. He said he and his colleagues felt, subject to reservations below, the best had been made by United Kingdom Government of a very difficult situation.
Had we felt free to occupy Norwegian ports in advance of German invasion, we should have scored great immediate advantage; but he was firmly convinced that such an invasion by us of Norwegian neutrality would have been morally wrong [2] and politically ill advised. (Whether we should not now, after this further (monstrous) (flagrant) [3] illegality by Germany, take a more drastic line vis a vis neutrals:- e.g. by destroying if necessary the Swedish iron ore mines subject to compensation-was another question).
His only reservations were (1) ought not our intelligence service to have informed us both of intended invasion and of strength of 'Fifth Column' in Norway in time to enable us to intercept German transports on their long journey to Trondheim, and (2) would it not have been possible and proper to have put a check on early exaggerated optimism which so greatly increased discouraging impact of the news of evacuation? I asked what were his views on allegations in Australian Press that Commonwealth Government was insufficiently informed and consulted by United Kingdom Government and on recent renewed suggestions of an Imperial War Cabinet.
He said, subject to observations at (d) in his telegram No. 208 of the 8th May [4], he had no complaint whatsoever as to information and opportunities for consultation afforded by United Kingdom Government.
Whenever he had felt observations of the Commonwealth Government might be useful, he had had ample opportunity to make them and they had obviously been fully considered. He was, as at present advised, opposed to the idea of an Imperial War Cabinet. To add five Dominion members to the present or to a reconstituted United Kingdom War Cabinet would make it unwieldy and would not in his opinion be helpful. The existing air services made it possible to have brief conferences in London at comparatively short intervals and this he thought was sufficient.

During Iowa Stop, Supermodel/Entrepreneur Kathy Ireland Urges Women To Say 'NO'
During Iowa Stop, Supermodel/Entrepreneur Kathy Ireland Urges Women To Say 'No'
ALTOONA, Iowa — Kathy Ireland is a supermodel-turned-megabusiness owner. But she said it's the failures of her career that have taught her the most.
"I'm a slow learner," she admitted, shortly before speaking to a capacity crowd of 800 at a Prairie Meadows ballroom, where she headlined the Iowa Women Lead Change Conference.
Ireland said one of the best things about her modeling career was rejection. "I didn't realize it or appreciate it at the time," she said.
But she said that rejection pushed her for a world beyond modeling. "I've never felt comfortable earning my paycheck based on how someone else perceived how I looked," Ireland said.
And that's saying something for a woman who starred as a swimsuit model for more than a decade straight in Sports Illustrated and made big money doing it.
Ireland built an empire outside of her modeling career that started with selling her own line of socks. Now that empire has grown to more than $2 billion in annual revenue by selling those socks, along with wigs, furniture, books and videos. "The rejection gave me the perseverance to say…'you said, no, but at least we're talking.'"
Now, Ireland is talking as she hopes to inspire other women to follow their dreams. Part of her advice for women is not to agree to do everything. "I was 40 years old before I learned 'no' was a complete sentence."
"We have to say 'no' to good things in order to do great things," Ireland said.
Her other bits of advice:
–Learn to delegate
–Have a strategy
–Don't let other's opinions destroy you
–"My CEO skills are my mom's skills"

Geoff Greenwood, Communications Director 515-281-6699, email@example.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, August 6, 2010
(DES MOINES, Iowa) Hamilton County District Court Judge Michael J. Moon has ordered Welch Oil, Inc. to upgrade the wastewater treatment system at the Boondocks Truck Stop in Williams and pay a $5,000 penalty. Welch Oil owns and operates the truck stop. Last year, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller filed a lawsuit against Welch Oil and Boondocks U.S.A, Inc. Boondocks U.S.A., Inc. has been dismissed as a defendant. The lawsuit alleged that Welch Oil illegally discharged wastewater to a tributary of the Skunk River. The lawsuit also alleged that Welch Oil failed to comply with monitoring requirements for its public water supply. Under a consent decree filed today, Welch Oil must upgrade the truck stop's wastewater treatment facility by October 15. The judge also ordered Welch Oil to comply with monitoring and reporting requirements for its public water supply.
"We are pleased that this matter has been resolved," said Miller. "More importantly, we are pleased that the company will ensure future compliance by upgrading its wastewater treatment system. This enforcement action will help protect the public and the environment."

It's hard to feel any stress in sunny wine country, but in Marlborough I manage it. This is where things fall apart a little and then come back together. Some of Martin's suggestions don't work out, places are booked on short notice, calls go unanswered. One of the reasons we wander is for the artificial highs and lows we feel along the way. Like Finns jumping from freezing pool to steaming sauna, we hop headlong into the good and bad, dull and delightful parts of a journey, and it makes our heart race.
From Wellington we take a ferry across to Picton, at the top of the South Island. Martin had directed us to a B&B run by a very friendly couple who give us wine when we arrive and a lovely home-cooked breakfast in the morning. There is nothing wrong with the place at all, but we have the sinking feeling we've landed in a kind of pretty nowhere, a scrubbed suburb near beautiful wine country.
Here is another lesson: Live by the recommendation, die by it, too.
After some fumbling calls and scratched ideas, the nice couple mention that they are friendly with Therese Herzog of the Herzog Estate in Blenheim, not far away. Driving through sunny Marlborough wine country, we've got a good feeling about Therese, who doesn't even know we're headed to find her but who we hope will save our trip. And she does.
A handsome Swiss import, Therese doesn't have time for the halting, ginger politesse of her Anglo neighbors. I start my rehearsed speech about what we're looking for: not just a guidebook listing, somewhere you yourself would go…
"Okay, hold on," Therese says, leaving me mid-spiel. She returns with a postcard she appears to have been keeping for just this purpose, ready to present like a pre-baked cake on a TV cooking show.
"This is the secret sight to see," she says, musically. "This is the golden bay, the million-dollar view. This is where we go to escape."
Sold. Check, please. We call the number on Therese's postcard and, against the odds, the cottage at Clifftops Retreat is available.
So we are back on course. Over the mountain passes to Nelson, through the city and out to the little seaside hamlets and hill towns that line the road up and around to Ruby Bay village. After a few wrong turns, we find the tree-lined path to Clifftops cottage and a sign on the gate, wrapped with a bow: "Welcome Evyn and Adam. Please turn the key on your left and zoom up to the house. Looking forward to meeting you. Pebbles and Frankie might also appear to say hello—woof woof."
Pebbles and Frankie and their caretakers, Bob and Anne, lead Evyn and me to a pair of Adirondack chairs at the edge of the lawn. Below us is Tasman Bay and the curving coast of the South Island. We take a bottle from the well-stocked kitchen and watch the sky as it turns from pink-streaked blue to quavering purple to starry black.
The dogs are back to say hello in the morning. Stay, they say, flopping around on the lawn. Stay and pat our bellies and enjoy this place you've come so far to see. Bob is more direct. "This is craziness!" he advises us when we say we really do need to get moving. The dogs were right, of course. It was a shame to go before we took Bob's advice about the hiking trails in Abel Tasman National Park and before we could finish all the cookies Anne had stashed in the kitchen cupboard. But rules are rules, even self-imposed ones, so we're off, cutting southeast down the middle of the island.
New Zealand is big and varied, in its way. Sandy beaches in the subtropical north, glaciers and alpine skiing in the south. We didn't know what we'd see of it until we met the people who would send us there. We pass through rolling farmland, and in the endless interior, ominous-looking craggy ranges. The radio cuts out for miles at a stretch.

Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to fly a Marchetti SF260 for its real military purpose. Spend the day at Flight Training school with the experts where you'll learn the ropes with former fighter pilots. Discover what it's like to engage in an actual dog fight as you take the controls of a real fighter plane.
Start your day with a briefing covering everything you need to know before climbing into the cockpit for the really fun part! Reach for the skies where you'll practise up to 6 maneuvers actually used by the military today. You'll be in control of an aircraft capable 260mph and +6 G forces as you carve through the air against the stunning backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico. Once you've mastered your skills, you'll be placed in a simulated combat scenario that's as close as it gets to the real thing. Deploy your winning moves and lock on your target in an amazingly realistic dogfight.
Nothing will compare to the sensation of flying a real fighter plane. Do you have what it takes?
You'll learn basic Air Combat Maneuvers in a program that lasts a full day. The experience includes a tactical mission with 5-6 dogfights. You'll use real military aircraft including the SIAI Marchetti SF260, under the guidance of licensed fighter pilot instructors. This extraordinary adventure provides the chance to experience the thrill and adrenalin of flying a light attack fighter in air-to-air combat. The only thing that is not real are the bullets. Fully briefed, you will climb into the aircraft alongside your instructor and you will be in control of the aircraft as you engage in air to air dogfights. Every maneuver is recorded during your flight and the tapes are yours to keep.
Flying is weather dependent and there is also a risk of air sickness. If you are prone to motion sickness, this experience may not be for you.
Fighter Pilot experiences are available on pre-scheduled dates throughout the year. To secure your chosen dates it is recommended that you book well in advance. Upcoming dates include:
Oct 18th - 20th, 2014
March 14th - 16th, 2015
Oct 23th - 25th, 2015

While Web applications can produce dynamic, and often extremely complex SQL, it turns out this behavior that can be modeled. DB Networks technology applies deep protocol analysis to all SQL statements dispatched from your Web applications destined to your databases in order to construct a unique multi-dimensional behavioral model. Using this behavioral model, each SQL statement is then subjected to a thorough lexical analysis and SQL semantic comparison analysis. Any rogue SQL statements are immediately identified and your defined alarm procedure is invoked.
Our technology is a novel patent-pending approach that learns and models an applications unique behavior for generating SQL statements. After a short learning period to construct the behavioral model, a suite of detection algorithms then evaluate each SQL statement against the application's unique behavioral model. New SQL statements, not seen during the learning process, go through structural analysis. Any SQL statement not consistent with the established behavioral model is identified as a likely SQL injection attack. This entire process is automatic. DB Networks technology is completely plug-and-play -- there are no blacklists, signatures, or whitelists to configure and maintain. Behavioral analysis has proven to be highly accurate at identifying even then stealthiest of SQL injection attacks.

The multitalented musician and model, who is often compared to Lady Gaga and Madonna, said she has a special place in her heart for students with disabilities and wanted to support Trousdale's interest in the performing arts. She will perform live at Trousdale on March 28 at 2 p.m.
Although the multilingual pop artist has been busy promoting her first single, "Muzik Makes Me" and its eye-popping video while performing around Atlanta, the rising star said she wanted to visit Trousdale's special school for high functioning adults with intellectual disabilities because "their education and artistic growth is something close to my heart."
"About 12 years ago my cousin, who I am very close to, had a baby girl who was thought to be autistic and later diagnosed as having high performing Asperger syndrome," Mademoizell said. "I watched her go through this in a time in which both were still misunderstood. The fact that her daughter was high performing seemed to confuse the diagnosis — leading to much heartbreak and lots of medical expenses, including switching schools."
The situation, according to Mademoizell, created financial problems for her cousin living in Atlanta due to the high cost of special education and a lack of public schools that were willing to handle her. "So yes, it is close to my heart," she said.
The pop singer's appearance will also raise awareness of March being Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. As a second-generation singer, Mademoizell was taught various genres of music and instruments at an early age, thanks to her multicultural mother.
"My mom was a famous Iranian singer who lived in Paris where she sang professionally," Mademoizell explained. "She no longer wanted to live in Europe and she could no longer live in Iran due to the Iranian Revolution. So she and my father decided they should come to the States."
The couple immigrated to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where Mademoizell was born. Since her mother had family in Los Angeles, where a majority of the Iranian music industry was located, Mademoizell said she spent her entire life between Los Angeles, France, New York and Atlanta.
"I grew up singing," she said. "My whole family was in music. My mom's siblings all sing. In LA I grew up around the music industry. She privately trained me. I went on to be incorporated in any music program the schools offered and did chorus as well as orchestra — playing the violin all my years of study."
While studying International Business in Paris, Mademoizell was offered work as a model. She accepted. Her career in fashion, coupled with her background in music, shaped the artist into a eclectic musician with runway appeal and an electrifying sound.
"I believe modeling taught me a lot at a young age. I not only have a unique vision of the industry, having seen behind the scenes, but it bred me to be who I am today," she said.
"I want to share this knowledge and influence with my fans. Some call it fame or being fame-driven. I simply call it wanting to share myself with the world. I have many positive messages to share and want to know I lived my life trying to do that."
The singer's taste in classic French, Persian, Arabic, French North African, Western European and American pop, has created in Mademoizell a fusion of electric, symphonic and international pop.
"I call it Parisian electro pop," she said. Her favorite artists are Madonna, Gwen Stefani, New Order, Depeche Mode, Anjulie, Shabahang, Sebastian Tellier, Grace Jones, Moby, and of course, Lady Gaga.
When asked why her fans call her "The Lady of Gaga," Mademoizell explained, "As Lady Gaga's fame grew everyone in the industry said my tenaciousness is like hers, my connection to the fashion world was like hers and my way of turning heads was referenced to Lady Gaga. But they would also tell my mom, 'You brought up such a nice daughter. She is such a lady.'
"It was my first producer, Jay Mac, who said Mademoizell is the 'Lady' of Gaga. By that he meant I represent the more feminine side of that persona — a female artist who is really into fashion but also femininity. I sing about things females want to say and sometimes don't get to and I carry myself in a lady-like manner. I took it as a great compliment.
"It's funny because before Lady Gaga was famous I was compared to Madonna because of my sound, sense of fashion, my tone and audaciousness. I was compared to Shakira because of my international ethnicity being European and Middle Eastern and the fact we have the same hair."
When asked what makes her so unique in today's music industry, Mademoizell said, "I am real. I have, by God's grace, lived a lifestyle that allows me to identify with all races, all societies and walks of life. By the age of 8 I had experienced things even some adults don't see.
"I've been around the rich and famous and around the poor. I have watched my family go through good and bad financial times, even life-threatening illnesses. But through it all my music has kept me together. I intended a second underlying meaning in the title of my first release, 'Muzik Makes Me,' for in fact music does make me. Without it, I do not exist."
The pop singer/songwriter/model said she is hoping her March 28 appearance at Trousdale will help raise awareness of what adults with mental disabilities can do and the importance of supporting the arts in local communities.
Mademoizell's next performance will be at the Dogwood Festival on the international stage of Atlanta's Piedmont Park on April 21.

Fish SpeciesThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service works towards the restoration of depleted anadromous fish stocks. In cooperation the Quinault Indian Nation, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service, Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, Hoh Nation, the following objectives have been established:
Spawning of adult fish occurs every week beginning in October and ends in January. Adult Coho salmon are the first fish spawned while in November, December, and January the hatchery is busy with returning Steelhead, Chum and Fall Chinook salmon. Annually, the hatchery releases 660,000 Coho salmon, 1.5 million Chum salmon, 400,000 Fall Chinook, and 190,000 Steelhead trout. Off-station releases include Coho and Steelhead fry into the Quinault and Raft rivers. The Quinault NFH also transfers 100,000 Steelhead trout to the Hoh River. At peak production, the hatchery has over 3 million fish on station! Fall Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Coho Salmon (O. kisutch) An average of 10,000 Coho salmon adults are caught in the tribal fishery and 10,000 return to the hatchery each year. In 2010, Coho returns reached an all time high of over 40,000 adults returning to the Quinault River. Returning adults are 2 (jacks) and 3 year old fish. The first year of their life is spent in fresh water in hatchery ponds. Fry emerge from incubators in February and are cared for until the following year. Yearling Coho are released from the hatchery in April. Adults begin their migration back to the hatchery as early as September of each year.
Hoh River Steelhead Trout (O. mykiss) Winter-run Steelhead Trout (O. mykiss) In addition to the 100,000 Steelhead yearlings produced for the Hoh Indian Nation, the QNFH also raises and releases 190,000 winter-run Steelhead trout. Yearlings (smolts) are released directly from the rearing ponds into Cook Creek. Adult Steelhead trout begin returning to the hatchery in November and continue to return until January. The hatchery takes about 500,000 green eggs and then culls 300,000 eyed eggs so that the program of 190,000 yearlings are represented by more adults. Chum Salmon (O. keta) One of the more unique species of salmon grown at the QNFH is the Chum Salmon. The majority of these fish rush to the hatchery the first two week in November. Female and male adults ready to spawn once they reach the hatchery. About 650 females are needed to collect enough eggs for a fry release of 1.5 million! Once the fry are liberated from the incubation trays, they are fed for about 40 days and then released into Cook Creek. Returning adult Chum salmon range in ages from 3 to 5 years. |

The year 2015 is going to be a great year, the best ever. Going through the first weekend of the year, it is not too late to write down your desired goals and be ready and determined to execute your plan persistently to achieve these 5 New Year's Basketball Resolutions to put yourself at a higher level as a player.
The game of Basketball is a team sport. All the players in the team are really important, but the most important player at any moment, is the player with the ball. Handling and Dribbling the ball is one of the fundamental skills an elite player must develop to play at any competitive level. With good coaching, and willingness to practice with consistency, dribbling the basketball will become easier and a fun fundamental skill to use everyday on the court.
Stretching is a very important part of training, yet many athletes often skip it, or confuse warming up with stretching. Warming up and stretching are different things, and the two are essential to perform better and prevent injuries during a basketball game, or any other physical activity.
Ankle injuries are some of the most common afflictions in sports. According to observations and statistical data from the American College of Sports Medicine, of the 25,000 Americans who suffer from an ankle sprain each day, half of them occur during athletic activity. And more than 40% of that figure, get injured while playing basketball. [click to continue…]
The NBA is the elite basketball association in the world. It is exclusive to about 450 players maximum since every team has 12 to 15 players in their rosters. Every year an All-Star game is celebrated with the most talented players in the league, chosen by the fans and coaches. Similarly, All-Star games are played in other leagues around the world featuring their best and outstanding players.
I dislocated my shoulder last week playing a three-on-three basketball game. The first thing that comes to my mind trying to describe this experience is pain I would not want to feel again. So with this article, I will start a series of posts about the most common sports related injuries and how to treat them, but most important, how to prevent them. I will call this: The Basketball is my Passion Injury Prevention System. You can look for this articles on the site menu under "Injury Prevention System".
The Basketball is my Passion website is inspired by the works and leadership of not only the greatest professional coaches and players the game has ever seen, but also by all those coaches and players that work hard every day in their communities to promote good sports and life values in our society.
This article shares 10 tips for coaches on their path to greatness.
This is a guest post by my friend Lamar Hull of inspirationalbasketball.com who is dedicated to provide great content for young players, parents and coaches to improve in the game of basketball. Parents and coaches around the world face a great challenge in motivating young kids to continue training basketball for many years and Lamar shows us a proven way to do that. I hope you enjoy it:
"Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them."
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
To be better at something, constant practice is necessary. And if you want to achieve greatness, you will have to forge desire, determination, mental toughness and perseverance together into your own self to be one of the Greats.
The following are great ideas to become a better and great basketball player, extracted from Alan Stein´s The Coaching Nuggets Volume 10. More great ideas and coaching tips can be found at Alan´s website: StrongerTeam.com
We all have a natural tendency to compete and the desire to be victorious after any game or challenge. Nobody likes to lose, at least nobody that I know. The final purpose on the basketball court is to win the game. But it is almost inevitable not to lose a game, or two, or maybe too many. And sometimes after feeling bad of losing so much, we want to quit. It is like we also have a natural tendency to give up too soon.

Craig Stammers and his family. Craig is running the London marathon for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. His daughter Chloe, suffers from the condition. Left to right, Alfie, Ruth, Chloe, Craig, Molly Stammers.
Wednesday, April 9, 2014
A Halesworth man is running the London Marathon for a very special cause.
Craig Stammers is taking part in the race for The Cystic Fibrosis Trust (CFT). Mr Stammers and his wife, Ruth, have three children; Chloe, aged six, Molly, aged three, and Alfie, who is 11 months old.
Chloe was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at three weeks old through the heal prick test and since then the family have supported the work of CFT. In 2008 he and his friends took part in the Great North Run and raised £8,000, and in 2011 he organised a pier to pier run from Lowestoft to Southwold raising more than £12,000.
Mr Stammers said: "I hope to finish in under 3hrs 45mins but as it's my first marathon I'll be pleased to get round. I've dropped alcohol and fast food since Boxing Day and put plenty of hours in on the local roads to give myself the best chance."

Nov 19, 2011
I have been experimenting with some new ideas in my small-scale urban garden in our rented home in the Gainesville, FL student ghetto.
One of my goals in gardening is to use local, sustainable and/or reclaimed materials as much as possible.
I am interested in discovering and developing urban gardening models that are:
Here are a few of the projects I am working on or have worked on (often with help from roommates and friends) over the summer and fall in my small home garden in Gainesville.
A drip irrigation system keeps plants consistently watered, at a slow pace throughout the day. It saves you water, time, and work. And the plants love it because they are never thirsty.
Here is a video of my gravity drip irrigation system when I installed it in July:
For this project, I got a 55-gallon barrel from a car wash and washed it out several times to get out the soapy residues. I placed the barrel on a stack of about 10 half-pallets (five wooden shipping pallets which I sawed in half). The barrel serves as the water reservoir for the gravity drip irrigation system.
I purchased my irrigation supplies from Irrigation Direct. I estimate that it cost me around $40 to $50, for drip materials that will last for seasons. While I would imagine it would be difficult to find reclaimed or free microtubing parts, it is a small investment that will last, will save you time and work, and will pay for itself in water savings.
Materials from Irrigation Direct:
Links in bold are items that are necessary or highly recommended.
To use the gravity drip system, I fill the water reservoir using a hose every one to two days (depending on the size of your garden and water needs). I run the drip system for 4-5 hours each day and turn the valve off every evening. Adding mulch around plants helps to retain moisture and reduce the amount of water needed.
In the future, I would like to find or fashion a rain gutter on the shed to divert rainwater into the reservoir.
My Worm Walkway is a raised garden path made of wooden pallets, with a worm farm underneath.
Why worms? Worms aid in breaking down organic matter and turning it into compost. They also produce castings (i.e. worm poop) which can be used as a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer.
To make the pathways, I cut wooden pallets in half, then removed the bottom panels of wood so that I would have space to add the worm farm below. Important: Be sure to use pallets marked with an "HT" stamp, indicating that they are heat treated rather than chemically treated.
After cutting the pallets, I filled the area below them with a mix of dried crumbled leaves and vegetable scraps, fruit peels and coffee grounds. After the mixture sat for a while and composted, I added 1000 Alabama Jumper worms, which should further break down the organic matter and leave behind their nutrient-rich castings.
The idea behind the Worm Walkways is that you use the underutilized pathways between your rows to create rich, vermicomposted soil for the next season's beds. The following season, you can plant directly in the space that was previously your walkway (and turn your spent rows into new Worm Walkways), or take the finished compost and add it to your already existing rows for the next planting.
If successful, these Worm Walkways could prove to be a sustainable and effective way to build rich soil in a small space, while turning previously unused pathways into mini ecological hubs.
The inspiration for this came from an instructional video by the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute:
The latest project I am working on is a bamboo hoop house, made from my neighbor's invasive bamboo plants and plastic bags that I was previously throwing away.
(Incomplete as pictured.)
With any luck, this mini greenhouse will allow me to grow some warmer season crops in my raised bed, to have a wider variety of food in the cold months, and to start seeds early before the last winter frost.
My neighbor has a mini bamboo forest in his yard, and since bamboo is an invasive exotic that is hard to destroy, he had no problem with me cutting a few live sticks to make the frame for my hoop house.
Since I have been collecting cabbage leaves (for compost) from Reggae Shack in clear plastic bags, I am using the plastic from these bags as the cover for my greenhouse. I am waiting on a few more bags that I can use to add a front and back cover to the hoop house in the coming weeks.
I used a staple gun to attach the plastic to the sticks, folding the plastic along the edges to give it more security. I have used duct tape to cover any holes and attach the edges of the bags to each other.
All of the above projects are evolving works in progress, but with any luck they will help me reach my goal of growing a substantial amount of my own food in a small space.

New travel center breaks ground in Gary
By Carole Carlson firstname.lastname@example.com/648-3154 November 20, 2012 3:26PM

GARY — The lure of a 28-acre location in the shadow of the country's busiest highway led TravelCenters of America LLC to invest $20 million in a full-service travel center at 3001 Grant St., just south of the Borman Expressway.
"It's a few hundred yards from the busiest interstate that exists. It's a very, very busy stretch," said Thomas D. Liutkus, TravelAmerica's vice president of marketing.
Officials held a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday morning, although construction is already under way on the amenity-laden Gary Petro Stopping Center that's expected to open by late spring of 2013.
Besides the usual truck stop appointments such as showers and a restaurant called Iron Skillet, there will be a Taco Bell, a Pizza Hut and a Verizon UltraMobile store along with a movie room and fitness room for truckers who need a break.
In addition, there will be 15 diesel pumps and eight gasoline pumps with 16 fueling positions.
Barry Richards, executive vice president of operations for TravelCenters of America, based in Westlake, Ohio, said 130 to 150 new jobs will be created. It acquired the facility last year along with five other travel centers when Gas City sold its assets.
The city, which leased the land to Gas City, sold the site to Travel America Corp. last month for $1.7 million in a deal brokered by the city's Department of Commerce and Gary Economic Development Corp.
The company demolished the old Steel City Truck Stop to make way for its new travel center. Deerfield Construction, based in Loveland, Ohio, is building the travel center.
"We razed an old, tired building and now are giving rise to something new and exciting," said Richards.
Pete Ward, a senior vice president for TravelAmerica, said it's the first new Petro center in six years. The company, which operates the Petro and TravelAmerica brands, has 242 locations in 41 states and Canada.
"This is another sign of progress in the city," said Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson. "It's a prime example of how well the Department of Commerce has worked."
The company plans to hold job fairs to attract local employees as it nears its grand opening.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Shauna!
Facts about Shauna
- Breed: Russian Blue
- Color: Gray Or Blue
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Shauna's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Shauna and her mother and siblings were dumped at a Scottsdale business. Mother was wild, so has been spayed and returned to her apartment complex (she was missed!). All were Russian Blue breeding, but small and yellow eyes.
Shauna is tiny but tough. She does like to sit in my lap and be pet and often follows me, but her first instinct is to run if you reach for her or surprise her. Her coat is incredibly soft.
She can be seen at Purr-Suasions in Old Town Scottsdale by appointment or in some homes.
Other Pets at SOS Kitty
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Shauna, a Scottsdale Russian Blue kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Russian Blue for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Russian Blue kitten from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Russian Blue breeders who help with Russian Blue rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Zoom in: What was the visual composition of your mind's eye, back in observant adolescence, that has ceased to be your reality?
Freeze-frame: Through openings of stained glass windows, during summer's church services (both morning and afternoon during Mission Festivals), long hours ushered in dogwood and primrose breezes, where tree limbs beckoned children to come out and frolic.
Catnaps on rock solid church pews were almost restful in the nostalgia of colorful rays cast across familiar faces and Bible passages wafting from soothing voices.
Still life: Images of Rev. Splies, hands folded reverently on the altar, his gray head bent in petition and praise, take me back to that quaint country church. Its sprawling cemetery and grandfather trees, with bird song and fluttering shadows, are all that remain on that Utica Township, Bethany Moravian Church plot.
Double-take: In dreams I've often revisited Whitewater Valley's south branch, its dense forest and fertile paths, overgrown by time's ravages and human disinterest. There grew honeysuckle, maidenhair fern, phlox, Dutchman's britches, goldenrod, jack-in-the-pulpit, and snake weed.
Untamed scents of moss on stone in a dry creek bed, and genuflecting wildflowers, fade with laboring earth's breath into a vast silence. Desertion hits me like a revelation. It is me who hasn't visited for, oh, so long, forced to sacrifice the call of rugged adventure, the uncharted, and thorn-riddled.
Picture this: Remember how small it made you feel...to stretch your young, firm body the full width of Mother's lilac bush, out by the rhubarb patch, as you gazed into night's stratosphere of mesmerizing patterns? You seemed enshrouded by a vacuum of darkness lit by it's own devices.
Enlargements: The heavens began a magical spin. In that moment, you were assured that the earth isn't going anywhere and that darkness is a sacred oath to daylight that each dawn its galaxy would extinguish. As questioning youth happens to stretch out on the ground, anywhere, something will arise to invest their faith in, before the vises of a greedy world hold them captive.
Roll that footage! Each frame of memory unveils squares from the inside out- tall kitchen windows where winter birds flitted, stopping off for brief feeding forays. Mother, comical in her brown plaid, wool scarf and flopping rubber boots, trudged through snow-packed ridges with Wonder Bread bags of dry sweet rolls, last Sunday's biscuits, kernels of corn we husked, and sunflower seeds.
In the blink of an eye: The three dining room windows back home, forming a nook where Mother's treadle sewing machine stood, faced our neighbors to the south, the elderly and eccentric Ed, Francis and Mary Hvorka.
Flashback: From the couch and recliner, one had a bird's eye view of Dad's sister's home across the street. As I picture them, it is those windows that have kept one traumatic memory alive for me all these years. Frenzied activity was unfolding across the way, at Uncle Lloyd and Aunt Millie Mulholland's house. I was a mere child, sitting on my mother's lap.
Darkroom exposures: I distinctly recall that Mom was reading the book "Heidi" to me, even as her attention was divided, drawn to Aunt Millie's. I'm sure death was explained to me, as our mother always openly and candidly kept the lines of communication freely flowing. Not an old man, Uncle Lloyd had been taken away that day in that oversized, black funeral wagon.
Cheese! Record the action!
Rewind! Dare to focus on past Kodak moments, spent and savored. Your self-portrait may reveal something pleasantly surprising. It's worth a peek!

Anxious and eager, Quai Jefferson stood in the morning sunlight at St. Joseph Regional High in Montvale, his mind racing with possibilities. His mother, Vaida, sat next to him in her wheelchair, clutching his hand and looking on.
More than 50 close friends, teachers and family members waited restlessly around Quai and Vaida this morning, alongside a bank of television and video cameras and media reporters. Quai and Vaida had been told he was being honored with an award, but he sensed there was more to it.
Then, at 11:56 a.m., Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira rounded the corner into the school's courtyard, trailed by eight of his teammates, including stars CC Sabathia, Masahiro Tanaka and Brian McCann.
"Can we crash your party?" Teixeira asked, playfully.
With that, Quai and Vaida's eyes opened wide and they received the surprise of a lifetime, as each Yankee approached the pair, offering warm embraces and words of encouragement.
Quai and Vaida were honored by the Yankees on the final day of the club's annual HOPE Week, a community outreach program that recognizes special people. After the surprise, Quai and Vaida were headed for Yankee Stadium, where they will mingle on the field with more players, and after which Quai will throw out the first pitch for tonight's game against the Orioles.
A standout football player at St. Joseph who recently graduated and is now attending Delaware on an athletic scholarship, Quai, 18, has been the primary caregiver for Vaida, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, since she was diagnosed 12 years ago. With no siblings or relatives in the picture, Quai cooked the meals, did the laundry and grocery shopping and helped with all his mother's needs — a journey detailed on the front page of The Star-Ledger last November.
As the Yankees approached the pair this morning, Quai looked on in stunned silence, as tears welled in Vaida's eyes. Quai and Vaida had been told by the St. Joseph staff he was receiving a prestigious award, but nothing more.
"It's real cool," Quai said. "A lot of people go through tough times and my story kind of shows them that even though you can hit rock bottom, you can come out on top. So no matter what, you put your best foot forward and everything will be taken care of."
After posing for pictures and handling a stream of interviews, Quai and Vaida spent one-on-one time with Yankees players, talking about college life and their favorite foods. Later for lunch, Quai sat in the middle of a table packed with all the players — Tanaka to his right, Teixeira to his left, Sabathia straight across.
Jason and Devin McCourty — both NFL players and St. Joseph grads — also showed up for the event, along with St. Joseph alum and current Yankees broadcaster John Flaherty.
Yankees players get to choose which of the five HOPE Week opportunities they attend, and many said they were particularly touched by Quai and Vaida's story. Yankees Director of Media Relations Jason Zillo choked back tears as he introduced the pair at the beginning of the event.
"I'm just amazed about everything he goes through every day," Sabathia said of Quai. "And he's able to still get a scholarship and be a great athlete. It's tough. It doesn't seem like there's enough hours in the day. But he's a great kid."
"What a story," Teixeira said. "They're best friends. Vaida said that she takes care of Quai and he takes care of her. It's just such an inspiring story."
Other Yankees who attended the event were Dellin Betances, Kelly Johnson, Jose Ramirez, Brendan Ryan and Yangervis Solarte. When they weren't talking to Quai, players munched on barbecue and signed autographs for people in attendance.
Since November, Vaida has moved into a first-floor apartment in Woodland Park for easier access in and out, and now has a professional caregiver who is with her for five hours each day. She said her bed sores — a serious threat to her health — are mostly healed and she's feeling healthy. Quai's father, Seth Davis, is also living with her and taking a more prominent role.
The story helped generate more than $40,000 in donations — money Quai and Vaida needed desperately.
"I was able to get all the help I needed possible for my mother, which is most important," Quai said. "Besides everything else, that was the No. 1 thing. That part really made me feel good."
Quai left for college earlier this month to start training with the Delaware football team, leaving his mother's side for the first time.
But every day, they speak on the phone.
"It was hard for me, and I'm still getting used to it every day," Vaida said. "But I'm determined to show him I can survive. I'm determined to sound good every time he calls. I'm determined to show him I'm okay."

The cocktail menu is better, with libations like the Opera White Tea, a delicious concoction of tequila, pear liqueur, Cointreau, and vodka.

- " Can only recommend the hostel. The atmosphere is really soothing, and there is a roomy yard where they held BBQ in the weekends. The cook for you every night for 6-7 $per person. They have plenty of activities during the day every day, such as six flags and Venice Beach. And only a stonethrow from Walk of Fame. "

- " One of the best hostels I have stayed at in 7 months travelling. Spotless, great location and loads of cheap trips and BBQ/meals. The staff are so good and really helped me when my wife was ill. If staying in LA and want to be in a good area stay here. Always felt safe just be sensible at night. Loads of places to eat/drink nearby. "

- " Great hostel, always something happening. Great location, very clean bathroom/shower facilities. Includes tons of daily activities and shuttle to the beach. "
- 05 Apr 2014 Warren Canada
- " Decent place to stay and generally the premises were clean; however, the shared bathroom (I stayed in the 8-bed female dorm) could have used a bit of fixing up. The floor was quite dirty and the shower did not drain well. Appreciated the numerous outlets provided both in the bed and locker. They have a good security policy of always showing your room key in order to enter, but when the front desk gets busy/distracted, it's easy to slip right in if someone is coming out the other way. "
- 04 Apr 2014 Anonymous USA
- " Great hostel!Staff superfriendly,and helpful!Met many great people there!Rooms clean,perfectly equipped,and pretty big! Great location right off the Hollywood Boulevard. Offers fun trips (sometimes for some $) +activities every day of the week. Delicious breakfast included. Comfortable outside-area. Breakfast included. You can use the kitchen if you want to. Every night an all-you-can-eat-dinner is offered for just a couple dollars. When I go back to LA, I will definitely stay there again!! :) "

About Government Documents
The Government Documents Collection in Lockwood Library is open to students, faculty, and the general public during all hours the Libraries are open. U.S. federal government publications dealing primarily with the social sciences are on the first floor of Lockwood Library, and those dealing with scientific and technical topics are on the third floor of the Silverman Science Library in Capen Hall. New York State and Canadian documents are in Lockwood Library's government documents collection. European Union documents are in the Lockwood Library Book Collection.
Need help? Consult a librarian at Lockwood Library's 2nd floor reference desk or at the combined Undergraduate/Science and Engineering Library reference desk on the 1st floor of Capen Hall during scheduled reference hours. Librarians are also available by appointment to assist with lengthy reference and research concerns, and to teach instructional classes.
In 1963 the University Libraries received depository designation from four governments.
The Libraries receive information from these governments for free. In turn, we make this information available to the entire community, both within and outside the University. The Libraries acquired over 800,000 government publications in paper and microfiche before the governments switched to online availability for most materials.
Library users can borrow most government publications. Upon presenting appropriate identification, the Circulation Department will provide those unaffiliated with the University courtesy cards to borrow depository documents. Note, these cards do not apply to other library materials.
The Libraries also selectively acquire materials from governments for which we are not a depository, including other local, state, national and multi-national governments.
A large part of the collection includes statistical information. The U.S. government is the largest producer of statistics in the world.

Basil Napoletano. Big leaf basil. Dark green wrinkled leaves. Very intense flavor & aroma (unlike most big leaf types). Leaves are as big as your hand. Prefers full sun. 8 gram packet.
Posted by Gian Banchero on 12th Jun 2013
I learned in Naples years ago that large leaf basil Napoletano is best used in sandwiches must as we here in the States use lettuce. Delicious I promise!!!

"Brantome Villa is an oasis of tranquillity."
As featured in Sunday Star Times, New Zealand.
"Brantome Villa is an oasis of tranquillity, man-made lake and all... Brantome is what they describe as a ''luxury boutique B&B''. The Suites are immaculate and separate from the host's accommodation. With these high-end places, it's the little things that make the difference, and these guys are big on details."
Sunday Star Times, New Zealand, Tony Wall, 18 April 2010.
"Brantome Villa - a peaceful B&B"
As featured in Air New Zealand In-Flight magazine.
"Brantome Villa is a peaceful B&B set in established gardens bordered by a lake and native puiri and totara groves, on the rural outskirts of Whangarei. The elegant suites are in the modern colonial-style property and separate from the host's accommodation. A ten minute drive; and you will find Northland's 18 hole Golf Course. Bliss."
'Explore Whangarei' by Suzanne McFadden, February 2009.
"Don't stay in a boring hotel, stay here!"
Business or pleasure, what a beautiful place to stay. Outstanding company, extraordinarily first class absolutely impeccable service. Attention to detail in every aspect of this beyond first class B&B. I'll certainly stay there again given any opportunity. Miss this place and you have just missed an absolute jewel in the Northland area of the North Island of New Zealand.
Tripadvisor Review 'Desmosedici' Australia, April 2012
"Wedding Night Luxury"
Stayed here on our wedding night and absolutely loved it. They are incredible hosts and very friendly, loved our night there with an amazing Breakfast in the morning.
Absolutely stunning rooms. Definitely recommend staying here you will not be disappointed! Thanks Guys!
Tripadvisor Review, 'Nicole G' Northland August 24, 2012
"Superb accommodation & hosts!"
"We stayed at Brantome Villa for 2 nights in early January. Valerie & Roger are friendly and obliging hosts who provide a well-appointed, clean and tidy facility. Dinner and breakfasts were just perfect.
They are only too happy to recommend activities / sights in the Whangarei area. The setting is excellent - bird life on the pond wonderful ... a great place to share a bottle of wine on the front deck!"
Tripadvisor Review, 'Mataucamper', Queenstown NZ
"Fabulous stay"
"We spent 2 nights at Brantome Villa while visiting the Bay of Islands area of New Zealand. I can't say enough about the warmth and hospitality we experienced from Valerie and Roger, our hosts. Add to that, the wonderful accommodation. Our room was beautifully appointed with exceptional linens and furnishings. The bathroom had great fixtures and the towels and robes were of the finest quality.
The setting at Brantome is gorgeous - surrounded by beautiful verdant hills, the large lawns, with a gazebo, roll down to a lovely lake. All this can be viewed from inside the villa or from the surrounding porch with multiple seating areas.
Breakfast was yummy, but again I must comment on the graciousness of our hosts. All this beauty wouldn't have meant as much without their charm."

Please help identify this climbing vine that grows in a sunny spot of my back yard. I thought it was a grapevine but it only gets these hanging clusters in May/June that look like they'll be grapes but they flower?/blossom? and that's it.
My friend thinks it's a type of Hops but there are no buds. THANK YOU! |

Ive never visited the deep interior of Mexico and plan a trip to Oaxaca and possibly flying in to Veracruz as a point of entry.
Any information on Oaxaca and safe travel there would be appreciated . Sincerely, Rob |

Oaxaca is fabluous. And safe. I didn't fly into Veracruz, but I suppose it's fair advice to say that if you're looking for the safest route, take the more expensive of the buses offered. There's a big difference between spending $40 dollars and $8 dollars to get to Oaxaca (been there, done 'em both!). Once in Oaxaca, there's a great hostel that is perfect if you're looking for budget accomodations. The hotels I stayed in there were also good, just more expensive. Be sure to take in the day trips, particularly the one to Hierve el Agua. A definite must-see. Oaxaca is a pretty touristy place, so don't worry so much about safety... Have a great time! Jane |

Thorndyke Thoughts
Hey Kids. That, above, is my view of the Children's Library right now. Boy! Do I miss you all! It's been a week and a half since the Children's Library has closed and I can't believe how quiet it's been around here. But that doesn't mean that it hasn't been eventful. With the book sorter room closed, the pages who check in and shelve all the books have been moved into the front of the Children's Library. Right now I can see about 20 carts, half of them full of books and DVDs and stuff, and that doesn't even count the ones that are out where all the patrons are! I am completely boggled by the amount of things that get checked out at the library. And today, the construction guys are putting new flooring in the entrance tunnels to the Children's Library. Picture a big grown-up construction guy putting flooring in the smallest of tunnels...they are sure working hard! If you want to see what it looks like in the library, be sure to ask a grown-up to help you check out Facebook and Twitter, where all the pictures of the library construction are being posted. Hopefully, you'll all be back to see me soon.
Bear Hugs,
Library Closed February 3 & 4
The library will be closed on Monday, February 3 and Tuesday, February 4 as contractors begin demolition for our Patron Service Improvement Project (PSIP). Storytimes scheduled for this day are canceled; all online resources are available, including databases, MyAccount, Zinio, hoopla and Overdrive eBooks and audiobooks. For updates on the PSIP, check the library website or call 734-397-0999.

"Forever Young" 76th Birthday Video
A celebration of Leonard Cohen on his 76th birthday, September 21, 2010, with favorite photos and videos set to Bob Dylan's "Forever Young:"
Leonard Cohen At 76
Birthday Video
Video Celebration Of Leonard Cohen At 75
In celebration of Leonard Cohen's 75th birthday, September 21, 2009, Heck Of A Guy offers a video pastiche of favorite scenes featuring the singer-songwriter/poet/icon.
During the Leonard Cohen World Tour, 4 songs were played for the 1st time: Feels So Good (AKA The Other Blues Song), The Darkness, Lullaby, and, most recently, Born In Chains. While each has been sung only a few times, multiple versions exist with different lyrics and arrangements.
A summary of each song's performances and lyrics with videos and mp3s for downloading is now available at these posts:
Heck Of A Guy offers 4 original videos of highlights from the Leonard Cohen World Tour.
The first Heck Of A Guy Dear Leonard Cohen - Thanks For The Tour. I Hope It Was Good For You, Too video has been seen by over 14,000 viewers. This celebration of the first 14 months of the 2008-2009 World Tour can be found at Thanks For The Tour
A 2nd video, focusing on the Summer 2009 concerts, can now be seen at Thanks Again For The Tour – The Encore Video
The 3rd video, which is a commemoration of The Leonard Cohen World Tour Fall 2009 USA concert series, is online at Thanks, Leonard Cohen, For Coming To The USA – The Video Celebration
The 4th video celebrates the 2 Las Vegas concerts on December 10 and 11, 2010 that ended the The Leonard Cohen World Tour. This video features images associated with those Las Vegas shows set to the music of "Closing Time" as performed at the final Dec 11, 2010 concert.

One of my favorite Cohen songs, "Do I Have To Dance All Night" was performed many times in concerts but was never released in the US
As part of my crusade to popularize this song, I've cobbled together 2 videos - one for the semi-funky 1976 version with Laura Branigan that has now been seen by over 20,000 viewers and one for the 1980 more gypsy, less disco version - that kinda sorta fit the music.
The videos can be found at
Both videos include links to keys to the sources of the clips and the identities of the backup singers and others who are featured.
The complete story of "Do I Have To Dance All Night" is available at The Best Leonard Cohen Song You've Never Heard (Probably).
For Anjani's July 10th birthday, I put together a video of some of my favorites of her songs, photos, and excerpts from Heck Of A Guy posts: Happy Birthday, Anjani

Research interests
Ryan Porter's research is focused on using natural-source seismic imaging to better understand tectonic processes on Earth. Using techniques such as receiver functions, ambient noise tomography, and surface wave tomography to image the Earth's subsurface, Ryan studies how the crust and mantle have evolved in recent and ancient times. He is specifically interested in the role that lithospheric-scale processes play in shaping the landscape that we observe at the surface today. Ryan's research has primarily concentrated on the North and South American Cordillera and South Africa and he has been involved with field projects in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Washington State, Argentina, and Peru.
