US 3152639 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) Oct. 13, J. c. PEARCY 3,152,639 METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TESTING WELLS Filed April 27. 1960 CIRCULAT/NG VALVE I i 7 i 20 l8 I" ill L s l3 rssrzn VALVE j 16' v INVENIOR. JAMES C. PEARCY A TTORNEY United States This invention relates to methods and apparatus for testing oil wells or the like, and more particularly to the testing of deep wells where the tubing or drill pipe is subjected to high hydraulic pressure. The testing of earth formations for possible production is now an old and well-developed art, and the combination of tubing or drill pipe with a packer and valve capable of being opened and closed, when desired, by manipulation of the pipe, as disclosed in the US. Patent to Simmons, No. 1,930,987, is in common use. It has long been the practice in deep wells, where high pressures of the column of drilling mud or other well fluid are exerted upon the string of pipe, to partially fill them with liquid, such as water or drilling fluid, to prevent collapse of the pipe due to the high pressures. (See the US. Patent to T. V. Moore, No. 2,189,919.) To some extent, such loading liquids in the string of piper interfere with the test. The possibly producing formation may not exert enough pressure to overcome the hydrostatic head of the loading liquid when the packer is set and the tester valve opened. Again, the formation pressure may be suificient, but the connate fluid is contaminated by the loading liquid to such an extent as to be bothersome. The latter of these difiiculties is overcome by the use of a gas, such as nitrogen, under pressure, to load the string of pipe, and this also is currently in use. In accordance with the present invention, the string of pipe used to run the tester and packer into the well is provided with a downwardly closing check valve above the tester valve. The string is also provided with a reverse circulating valve above the check valve. With this assembly of apparatus, it is possible to load the string of pipe with a fluid which will balance, or partially balance the drilling mud pressure and still permit the taking of an uncontaminated sample of fluid from a selected formation by exposing the formation to substantially atmospheric pressure in the tester chamber below the check valve. At the same time, should the formation contain fluid under a pressure higher than that exerted by the loading fluid, the check valve will open and a large sample of connate fluid will be obtained. The objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from what has been said above, and from the following description of the apparatus and method, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which: The single figure is a somewhat diagrammatic representation of apparatus for carrying out the principles of the invention, the View being a side elevation, partly cut away, of testing equipment located in a well bore in the earth. Referring to the drawing, it will be seen that a well bore is illustrated at 9. Within the well bore, there is a string of drill pipe or tubing designated 10. The string of pipe is connected to a circulating valve 11, which is shown only generally, being well-known to those skilled in the art. It may be of the type shown in the US. patent to Savitz, No. 2,327,610, or of any other known type, and functions to open the string of pipe to the exterior whenever desired, so that fluid can be circulated, in either direction, through the pipe without regard to flow through the tester or any other apparatus below the valve 11. Below the circulating valve 11, there is a special section or sub of pipe 12. This should preferably be made of atent O 3,152,639 Patented Oct. 13, 1964 Kit? heavier stock than the pipe 10 as a portion of it will have to withstand the high hydrostatic head of the well fluid exterior thereof. As illustrated, sub 12 comprises cylindrical body means defining a fluid passage extending between circulating valve 11 and the sample chamber in tester 13. Check valve 17 is supported in this passage. The sub 12 is then connected at its lower end to any suitable tester valve 13. Here again, any conventional tester may be employed, and since many forms such as that featured in the aforementioned Simmons patent are well known, none need be described in detail. Below the tester 13, a conventional packer 14 is mounted on the string, and beneath the packer, there may be the usual tail pipe and screen 15. Within the tail pipe, there may be a pressure recorder, as taught in the US. patent to Moore, No. 2,189,919. The sub 12 is provided with a suitable valve seat 16, and fitted against this seat is a valve 17, which may be of the poppet type, as shown, and provided with a rubber lip 18. The valve 17 is provided with a stem 20, sliding through a guiding spider 21, secured in the sub 12, as shown, and be urged downwardly by a coiled compression spring 22 at all times. With the arrangement shown the string of pipe 10 may be filled, or partially filled with loading fluid, either gas or liquid, the valve 17 supporting such fluid and preventing it from exerting any pressure in the portion of the sub 12 therebeneath. In the drawing, this loading fluid is illustrated as a liquid shown at 23. In testing a well, the apparatus is assembled as shown and run into the well with sufiicient loading fluid 23 being added from time to time, as desired. When the formation selected for the test is reached, the packer 14 is set and the tester valve 13 opened. The pressure recorder (not shown) in the tail pipe 15, if used, will record substantially the formation pressure at this time, because the chamber in the lower portion of the sub 12 between the check valve 17 and the tester valve 13 will be maintained at atmospheric pressure all during the time the string is being run into the well. If desired, the tester valve 13 may now be closed, the packer 14 unseated, and the string removed from the well. A sample of the connate fluid in the chamber of the sub may then be examined. The circulating valve 11 may be opened to permit the loading fluid to drain out of the pipe 10 as it is being removed from the well if desired. This will not interfere with the retention of the connate fluid trapped in the sub 12 between the check valve 17 and the tester valve 13. On the other hand, if the formation is exhibiting sufficient pressure to overcome the hydrostatic head of the loading fluid, plus the force exerted by the spring 22 on the valve 17, a much larger sample of connate fluid may be obtained, as the connate fluid flows on up into the pipe 10. This action is entirely automatic once the tester valve 13 is opened. That is, it is not necessary to manipulate the string in any way to insure the taking of a large sample of formation fluid, if the well is capable of producing it against the pressures mentioned. In summary, it will be seen that when the check valve 17 is seated, the upper end of the sample-receiving chamber is sealed so as to effectively prevent commingling of the loading fluid and connate, i.e. well fluid. If the pressure of the well fluid should reach a certain value, exceeding the combined force of the spring 22 and the hydrostatic head of the loading fluid, the upper end of the sample chamber will become unsealed as the valve 17 opens so as to permit an outflow of well fluid from the sample chamber. As will be appreciated, the pressure value at which valve 17 will open will vary, depending upon the specific gravity of the loading fluid. The arrangement illustrated is thus capable of obtaining either a small sample of fluid from a formation of low pressure and a large sample of fluid from a formation of high pressure in a deep well without subjecting the pipe used to run the tester into the well to the danger of collapse. While only one embodiment of the invention has been shown and described, it is obvious that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the annexed claim. I claim: 1. A method of testing the productivity of a formation in a well bore with a sample-receiving chamber supported at the lower end of a conduit string, said method comprising: lowering a sample-receiving chamber supported by a conduit string into a well bore while maintaining the interior of said sample-receiving chamber substantially at atmospheric pressure; placing loading fluid into the interior of said conduit string to support the wall of said conduit string and to provide a body of loading fluid above said sample-receiving chamber; opening said chamber to allow well fluid from said well bore to flow into the lower end thereof; sealing the upper end of said chamber to prevent commingling of said fluids when the pressure of the well fluid is below a certain value; unsealing the upper end of said chamber to permit flow of well fluid therefrom when the pressure of the well fluid exceeds said certain value; and closing the lower end of said chamber to prevent chamber-contained well fluid from flowing out of the lower end thereof. 2. Apparatus for testing the productivity of a formation encountered in drilling a deep oil well or the like comprising in combination: a string of pipe, a circulating valve for placing the interior and exterior of said string of pipe in fluid communication, means for selectively opening said valve in response to manipulation of said string of pipe and independently of fluid pressure within said string of pipe, a downwardly seating check valve positioned beneath said circulating valve and having a chamber therebenath, body means defining fluid passage means within said apparatus extending between said circulating valve and said chamber, with said check valve being supported by said body means within said fluid passage means, a tester valve beneath said chamber in association with a well bore packer, said check valve providing means whereby loading fluid introduced into the string of pipe to prevent pipe collapse is segregated from connate fluid which passes through said tester valve to enter said chamber and said circulating valve providing means whereby said loading fluid may be circulated between the interior and exterior of said pipe string, spring means positively urging said check valve downwardly into chamber segregating position, and guide means engaging said check valve for insuring constant alignment of said check valve for aligned movement into said position.

I had my ipod mini now for good two years and I love it.
However over the past few weeks I have well exceded the 4GB limitations and I am really looking forward on upgrading my ipod. However I am just wondering whether I should wait, or just go ahead and buy an ipod gen 5.5 (the 30gb one). My Avatar says it all. |

No one ever really has a good idea of when apple are going to update their products. Sometimes it may be that a rumor of a product update surfaces and literally the next day or two the product is on the shelf. It's hard to tell with apple. You may want to check the most recent ipod rumor thread and make a decision based on that.

The iPod's semi-regular update schedule was thrown off drastically by iPhone development. The 5G is almost two years old, but no one knows when the 6G is coming. If I were you, I'd just get the 5G now. It's a very fine player. I've got one myself, and it does what I need it to do (play music well).

Mako & Knoxx Recoil Absorbing Stocks For Mossberg 500?
Looking to modify my Mossberg 500 some.....found the Mako line of recoil absorbing stocks......they also have a folding recoil absorbing stock....Also found that a company named Knoxx also makes recoil absorbing stocks....was wondering if anyone has one on theirs and how well it works? Is anyone better then the other.......also see they offer folding recoil absorbing stocks (Mako anyway)........was wonder how the folding stock works? Can the weapon be fired while folded or is it just for taking up less room while being transported?

I have shot most of Knox's line on both Mossberg and Remington 12ga and they really work. Think shooting a 12ga pistol grip one handed with slugs all afternoon with no hand pain. The only Knox one I haven't shot is the standard Hogue stock with the reducer built in to the butt. I think they make an excellant product. I don't have any experiance with the other manufactures mentioned so can't give you a review.

I have the Mossberg Spec Ops recoil absorbing stock on my 500...it really really works and makes a difference. Shooting for target/fun/skeet, I can get two accurate shots for every one accurate shot my buddy with his 870 can get off. Well worth the money....never tried any of the higher end but I imagine that they're just as good or better.

I've also got a Blackhawk Knoxx SpecOps stock for my Rem 870 and the stock really absorbs the recoil very well, even with full power loads. For the money it is hard to beat.

Let me add that from what I can tell of Knoxx, their stuff is really well made.

I have the Knoxx Compstock on my Mossberg 500. This is the one that has the traditional shape and grip of usual hunting/sporting stocks. It definitely eats up a lot of recoil and is a significant improvement over adding a quality recoil pad. It makes follow shots faster and takes any pain out of extended shooting. I should note that it's heavier than the wooden factory stock that I replaced. That maybe be good, bad, or irrelevant depending on your purposes.

This page will show you the simple steps for how to learn healthy cooking.
You will be relieved to know that making just a few small changes when you prepare meals can make a big difference in the health of you and your family.
If you're trying to improve your health, one of the first things you can do is improve the way you cook your food.
But when people talk about healthy cooking, it can sound a little intimidating and a little less than delicious.
But healthy cooking doesn't have to be difficult or boring.
With just a few small changes you can make a big difference in the health of you and your family.
Once you get used to doing things a different way, it will become simple and easy.
You've already made the hardest decision…deciding to eat healthier, but now you want to know how you can make the transition to healthier foods.
This is especially true for those with families as they aren't just preparing meals for themselves, but for everyone else in the family too.
Below are a few tips to help you make the
transition to eating healthier foods.
1. Do Your Research.
The first thing you should do is research various diets and healthy foods.
Look at the foods that make up different diets and determine why these foods are considered healthy.
Then, decide which foods in your current diet you are going to replace.
You'll also need to determine which healthy food choices you're going to add to your diet to.
2. Charts Help.
Deciding which foods to add and subtract from your diet can be difficult.
This is why many people choose to make a replacement chart…basically, these charts help them stay on track.
If you would like to make a chart, start by making two basic columns on a piece of paper.
In one column, write down the foods you would normally eat and on the other side, write down a healthy alternative.
For example, if you may have a bowl of ice cream wrote down on one side and across from it have a bowl of fresh fruit salad for the alternative.
As you make work on your chart, remember that it's good to replace white grains with brown/whole grains, processed foods with whole foods and artificial foods/flavors with natural foods/flavors.
Finally, don't try to transition too fast. Start by working on one thing at a time and then move on to another item on your list.
Increase Your Daily Food Intake.
A good way to get more, healthier foods in your daily diet is to increase the number of times a day you are eating.
Make a point to eat a few snacks a day and make sure they are high-quality, whole foods.
This will get more, healthy foods in your body and leave less room for the unhealthy foods.
It will also make the transition
of switching to healthier foods easier.
With all of the junk foods out there today, getting kids to eat healthy can be a trick.
In fact, many kids associate the term "healthy food" with something yucky.
However, this doesn't mean that you can't change your kids' minds about healthy foods and get them to enjoy eating healthy.
Below are some tips to help you out.
1. Hide the vegetables.
young children who adamantly refuse to eat veggies, hide them! Here's how:
· Add pureed winter squash, carrots or sweet potatoes into cheese sauce.
· Steam a few veggies (broccoli, carrots, green beans, etc.) and put in a blender with a jar of spaghetti sauce.
Blend them all together and serve over spaghetti. Your kids will never know they're eating veggies too!
· Mince veggies such as broccoli and add to homemade pizza – it'll never be noticed.
2. Take it slow and replace one food at a time.
Getting kids to eat healthy can be like pulling teeth when you try to make a bunch of dietary changes at once.
However, it's much
easier if you take it slow and only change one food at a time. For example:
· Stop using white flour products and start using whole wheat flour products.
You can easily do this with breads, pastas, cereals and the baking flour you use at home.
This is a food change that your family won't likely notice.
· Replace frozen chicken nuggets and fish sticks with a homemade version.
Do this by cutting up healthy pieces of meat, coating in bread crumbs and baking them in the oven.
· Don't make a full transition right away. Instead, ease into it.
For instance, replace only ½ or so of the white rice in a recipe with brown rice.
The next time you fix it, replace 2/3 of it and then the third time you make it, replace all of it with the brown rice.
3. Read to your kids about healthy foods.
Young children love to have stories and books read to them.
So, why not start reading to your kids stories that talk about healthy foods?
If you have older kids, take them to the library and help them choose an educational book about eating healthy and how healthy foods enhance the body's functionality.
4. Be positive about food.
Help encourage your kids' curiosity about healthy foods by being positive about food.
One way to do this is to ask your kids to help you prepare dinner.
them get involved in the preparation process so they can learn about the foods
they're eating and how all the ingredients go together to create a healthy, yet
tasty, meal.
We've all heard about "superfoods" and the additional benefits they have for our bodies.
Well, now there are four more superfoods that you should be aware of.
They are: Acerola, Maqui Berry, Cloves and Baobab Fruit.
Below you'll find a little bit of
information about each of these nutritional powerhouses and why you should add
them to your grocery list.
1. Acerola – Acerolas are grown in Central and South America and are often marketed as Amazon or Barbados cherries.
The skin is a yellowish color, but it's the vitamin C content that has everyone amazed.
They have 40 times more vitamin C than oranges!
This gives them an extremely good antioxidant ranking.
These little guys are hard to find in the produce section of the grocery store, but can be found in extracts, powders and capsules.
2. Maqui Berry – The Maqui Berry is grown in Patagonia, which is located on the southern tip of South America.
Maqui Berries are similar to blueberries as they're known for their antioxidant qualities.
In fact, while blueberries rank well on the ORAC score, Maqui Berries have a score that's 10 times higher than blueberries.
It's also said that the Maqui Berry may also help control weight too.
3. Cloves – Cloves have been around for a long time, but haven't been known as a superfood until recently.
Spanish researchers have recently found a potent antioxidant activity within cloves that has gone unnoticed for some time.
It is believed that these antioxidants may have the ability to replace synthetic ones that are currently being used in food preservatives.
4. Baobab Fruit – Baobab Fruit is grown in Africa and has just recently received approval for export.
The fruit has an odd texture as it is naturally powdery.
This fruit is full of calcium and vitamin C, making it perfect for those who aren't able to eat dairy products (or simply don't like dairy products).
Even better, the seeds can be roasted and consumed for additional protein.
While it has been approved for export, the fruit still hasn't hit many
grocery stores but it can be found in some yogurts for extra flavor.
While there aren't any foods out there that are going to prevent illness 100% of the time, the foods that are dubbed "superfoods" are definitely worth checking out because they have the nutritious elements that have been shown to reduce our chances of contracting various illnesses and diseases.
It certainly won't hurt to include them in your diet.
One of the easiest ways to lower the fat content of your food and boost your heart health is to skip frying foods.
When you fry foods, you add a large amount of oil to your food.
While fat is something that your body needs, it doesn't need it in such high amounts.
Fat is full of extra calories, so the oil you're adding to your food will sneak in many extra calories you don't need if you're working to eat healthy.
In addition, most oils used for frying are not the healthiest kind for your heart.
Instead of deep frying your foods, there are a few different ways you can cook them.
If you've never tried cooking with these methods, you'll have to experiment to see which one works best for you.
One of the healthiest ways to cook is to use your grill. There are several different types of grills.
If you prefer to use outdoor grills, you can use charcoal or propane.
Gas grilling is quicker, but doesn't have the same flavor.
Grilling can also be done indoors. There are many indoor grill models available for purchase.
Indoor grills won't give you the smoky flavor that you get from outdoor grills.
However, they help you to eliminate extra fat from cooking and allow you to cook foods quickly.
Baking and Broiling
Using your oven is another option. Old fashioned baking and broiling produces delicious food without having to add excess fat.
Baking is the process of cooking your food evenly. When you broil food, you use only the top element of your oven.
With baking you get a constant temperature in the oven and your oven will cut off and on to keep that steady temperature.
With broiling, the top element will stay on constantly.
This can produce the same type of effect as grilling your food.
Broiling works well for cooking steaks and other types of meat.
You'll have to turn the pieces of meat over in order to get consistent cooking on both sides.
You'll also need a broiler pan that allows fat to drip through to the bottom away from your food.
Pan Frying
You can sauté your food in a pan as well. This is a type of frying, but you don't need as much oil as you do with deep frying.
For this type of frying you can usually use one or two tablespoons of oil as opposed to a quart of it.
You can also use the most heart healthy oils with pan frying. You'll want to use oils that are monounsaturated.
These oils actually help you to lower your cholesterol.
Extra virgin olive oil is generally the best choice for heart health.
Steaming is another powerful way to cook. This is especially good for cooking vegetables.
You can purchase a special steamer that plugs into the wall or you can actually convert a pan into a steamer by inserting a special steaming basket.
With steaming, you'll add a little water to the pan, then add the steaming basket.
You'll place your veggies on top of the basket.
The water won't actually cover the vegetables at all. You'll then need to put a lid on the pot.
As you heat the water at the bottom of the pan, it creates steam that will surround the food and cook it.
Steaming doesn't take a long time and it's one of the best ways you can cook to preserve the nutrients in your food.
Slow Cooker
One of the greatest tools you can purchase for your kitchen is a slow cooker.
This is a healthy way to cook and can really be a timesaver in your life.
With slow cookers you can add ingredients to the pot, set the temperature, and then walk away for hours.
This is especially helpful if you have a job outside of your home or just a very busy schedule.
You can put healthy foods in to cook but then you can continue with your activities knowing that you'll have a great meal for dinner.
The biggest complaint people have about slow cookers tends to be the cleanup.
However, there are liners now you can place inside your slow cooker that make cleaning it much easier.
You simply throw them away when you're done.
Many times when people begin to work to cook and eat healthy foods, they try to eliminate fats from their diet.
However, your body needs fats in order to function properly.
You'll need to understand the difference between healthy fats and unhealthy fats.
Unhealthy fats are those that are saturated.
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
You find these fats in meats and dairy products.
You also find them in lard. These are the fats that can clog your arteries and cause you to have heart problems.
Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature.
They're healthier for the body and actually contribute to good heart health – especially monounsaturated fats.
These fats come from plant sources.
Some foods where you can find healthy fats include:
· Olive oil, safflower oil, soybean oil
· Flaxseed oil (can be added to food, but not used to cook)
· Avocados
· Bananas
· Nuts – almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, etc.
When you're cooking, you'll want to use these types of fats as much as possible.
Adding nuts or avocado to a dish can boost the heart healthy fats.
And they also add delicious flavor and boost the excitement of healthy meals.
When you're baking, you can also make substitutions for fats.
For example, if a cake or brownie recipe calls for oil you can substitute applesauce or carrot puree.
These will give the same texture and moisture without the fat.
If you're not ready to go completely away from the oil, try substituting half of the oil for applesauce.
This will give you the best of both worlds.
In many recipes, the oil can be cut in half without significantly changing the texture.
You may want to experiment with our favorite recipes.
Eliminate Excess Sugars
Sugars are another area where people tend to have too much of a good thing.
You need to have sugars in order for your brain to work.
But the types of sugar that you eat can make a difference.
Eliminating processed sugars can boost your healthy cooking.
Ingredients such as white granulated sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar can be tasty, but aren't great choices for cooking healthy foods.
Instead, you can try to have sweetness through more natural ingredients.
Honey and molasses are natural sources of sugar. Raw cane sugar is also a natural source of sugar.
While these choices are natural and less processed than other types of sugar, you'll still want to use them in limited quantities. A little goes a long way.
Even better is to get your sources of sweetness from fruits.
They naturally contain sugar that can satisfy your sweet tooth while still delivering nutrients to your body.
The sugar you get from strawberries, apples, or grapes provides satisfying sweetness and also delivers fiber and vitamins.
In addition to getting sugar from sweet foods, many people get a lot of sugar from the drinks they consume.
Sugary sodas, sweet teas, and juices can give you a lot of calories without giving much in the way of nutrition.
This is a great place to start eliminating sugars from your life.
Switch to water with lime or herbal teas that are flavored naturally.
If you want to add sweetness, try a natural sweetener such as stevia to add that punch.
Other calorie free sweeteners can be less healthy.
There are many dessert options using fruits and other healthy ingredients that can help you to get the sweetness you crave without sacrificing your health.
As you eliminate sugar, you'll get to a point where you really don't crave it as much.
Lowering Your Sodium
Another considering with healthy cooking is lowering the amount of sodium, or salt, in your diet.
Salt can cause problems with high blood pressure and bloating.
While you need some salt in your diet for good health, most people get too much.
When shopping for ingredients, look for items labeled as "low sodium" or "sodium free."
This way you can control how much salt you add to your meals. When you do use salt, choose natural sea salt.
Add Flavor
For many people the idea of healthy cooking is synonymous with bland food.
But if you're going to cook healthy it's critical that you enjoy what you're eating.
Otherwise you won't be able to adopt these techniques long-term.
It's important to make sure that while you're eliminating unhealthy fats and sugars that you don't forget to add flavor.
Natural spices and herbs can be the best way to enhance the flavor of your food and can boost your health, too.
If you haven't used many spices before, now is the time to add spice to your life.
The following spices are critical to have in your pantry as you make the switch to healthy cooking:
· Cinnamon
· Garlic
· Pepper (black, red, white, cayenne)
· Nutmeg
· Paprika
· Salt-free seasoning
· Italian seasoning
· Basil
As you continue to cook, you'll add more and more spices to your supply.
But these are general spices that can get you started. You'll also want to consider keeping fresh herbs on hand.
Growing your own is the least expensive way to enjoy them.
As the season begins to end, you can chop up your herbs and freeze them in ice cube trays.
This way you can continue to enjoy them year round.
Some great herbs to get started with include the following:
· Parley
· Oregano
· Thyme
· Sage
· Cilantro
· Basil
· Rosemary
Adding fresh spices will make any dish more flavorful. Remember that healthy cooking doesn't have to be boring and bland.
The more flavor you add, the more you'll enjoy what you're eating.
If you enjoy the food you eat when cooking healthy, you'll be more likely to make a long-term change.
If you're not familiar with cooking healthy, it can take some time to adjust.
But as you add a new technique you'll find that it can be easy and rewarding.
As you cook more and more, you'll begin to feel comfortable with experimenting with recipes – and unleashing your inner chef can also be a lot of fun.
The most common complaint by people who desire to start eating healthier foods is the price for these foods at the grocery store.
If you've ever compared the prices of organically grown apples to regular apples then you know how much more expensive the organic ones are.
The same is true for whole grain crackers versus regular white crackers.
However, not everything is just like it first appears.
Maybe it is more expensive to buy whole grain crackers, but what if you bought a bag of whole wheat flour and made your own snacks?
You would be able to make a lot more snacks with that bag of flour than you would be able to buy for the same price.
Sometimes, we have to change the way we think about health foods and their
prices in order to get the most bang for our buck. Below are a few tips.
1. Cheaper isn't always better.
It's easy to get excited over a good deal – like a $2 bag of potato chips that you've got an additional coupon for.
However, we all know how unhealthy potato chips are.
You may be better off purchasing a 3 lb. bag of potatoes for $2-$3 than the potato chips. Why?
The potatoes will last longer and you'll be able to make more nutritious dishes with them than you can the potato chips.
The above example is true for most processed foods.
While at first glance, they
appear to be cheap, they really aren't when you consider how much more you can
get when you by the whole food version.
In other words, instead of purchasing the processed foods, purchase the whole
food ingredients instead.
For instance, instead of buying a loaf of bread – buy a bag of whole wheat
flour and make your own!
You'll not only get more bread for the price, but you'll also get healthier, better-tasting bread too!
2. Reduce meat consumption.
Nothing will make you go over budget faster than meat. Meat is expensive, that's all there is to it.
While it's not very cost-effective to replace your meat with substitutes such as tofu, you can save money by purchasing other protein rich foods such as beans and brown rice.
This doesn't mean you have to cut out all meats, but reducing your meat consumption will definitely help your grocery bill.
3. Shop for seasonal foods.
When you begin shopping for healthier foods, you'll most likely start buying more fruits and vegetables.
In order to stay under budget, you will need to stick to the foods that are currently in season.
Out-of-season foods are much more expensive than in-season foods.
And, you can always buy extra of the in-season foods and can them yourself (or freeze/dry), giving you the ability to eat them when they are out of season!
4. Shop the outside edges.
The healthiest foods are found on the outside edges of the grocery store.
The prepackaged, processed foods are found in the center aisles.
Therefore, purchase the majority of your groceries from the outside edges rather than the aisle-foods.
Now, keep in mind some whole grain foods are found in the aisles such as flour and dried beans.
However, this is the exception to the rule…most
of the foods in the aisles are not healthy foods.
There are certain necessities everyone needs to survive, one of these is food.
However, with the shape of the economy, people are looking for ways to cut back and save money. I
t is possible to save money on the foods you eat, even if you are eating healthier foods!
Below are some tips to help you do this.
1. Eating Food from Home –
So much money is wasted when we choose to go out to eat, whether it's for a quick lunch or dinner at a restaurant.
Not only is a lot of money wasted when we eat out, but most of the time, the food is not as healthy either.
Therefore, you can eat healthier meals and save money by eating food from home.
Does this mean you have to eat all of your meals at home? Nope.
If you work away from home, consider packing your own lunch and eating at the office.
If you cook meals at home, then simply bring leftovers for work the next day.
You can even bring your own tea, coffee and/or snacks with you to work, which will save you even more money.
2. Stay Away from Fast Food –
It's hard to turn on the television without seeing an advertisement for a "great deal" at a nearby fast food restaurant.
Most people think that if they can get lunch for two for under $10, they've gotten a good deal.
However, upon close inspection, fast food isn't nearly that good of a deal. Even if you eat off the dollar menu.
Not when you consider that you can fix yourself a healthier, homemade sandwich from home for far less than a dollar.
3. Save Money on Drinks –
Restaurants and fast-food business make a ton of money on the drinks they serve.
A regular sized drink (aside from water) will cost you $1.50 to $3.00 at most eating joints.
However, you can get several regular sized drinks for less than $1.50 when you
by a 2-liter or family sized tea bags and make your own drinks.
If you prefer bottled water, consider investing in a reverse osmosis system (if you don't have one), or even a cheaper water filtering system, and bring your own bottled water from home in a reusable bottle. You'll save a lot of money here too.
4. Buy Extra – If you find something on sale at the store that can be easily preserved, by it in extra quantities.
This doesn't mean you have to be extreme about it like the people on Extreme Couponing shows, but stocking up on a few items here and there to save money, is a great idea.
You can also save money by purchasing food at the grocery store that has been "damaged."
Generally, it's not the food that is damaged, but the packaging that was damaged during transportation, but grocers still discount these items!
In the past, many people didn't think twice about going to a restaurant for dinner or swinging through the drive-thru on their way to soccer practice.
However, with the condition of the economy and the impact it's had on people's bank accounts, many people are now opting to cook at home instead of heading out for meals.
Not only does it
save money, but it's also a healthier alternative too. Below are a few benefits
associated with cooking at home.
1. There are no "mystery" ingredients.
When you begin to cook meals at home for your family, you become aware of all the ingredients that you and your family are eating.
This isn't the case when you
go out.
Not only are there no "mystery" ingredients when you cook from home, but you can
also control the levels of sugar, sodium and other caloric content too.
Additionally, when you cook at home, you don't have to worry about whether a meal really is "whole/multi-grain" as advertise, because you can switch up the ingredients yourself to make sure it is!
2. It's a lot healthier for you and your family.
As mentioned above, you control the ingredients when you cook your own meals at home.
This means that you are able to feed your family much healthier foods than you would if you went to a restaurant.
You can ensure the meals you cook include fresh produce and healthy, whole foods…this is a rarity at restaurants and fast-food chains.
Additionally, not only are families who eat home-cooked meals generally healthier in body, but studies have shown that they are also healthier socially and emotionally because they're spending more family time together.
3. You're able to plan out meals in advance.
Cooking at home allows you the ability to plan out dinner in advance.
Instead of eating "on the fly" and choosing a restaurant at the last minute, your meals are thought out and planned in advance.
Many people even cook several meals at home at one time and then reheat them in the oven on the night they want to eat them.
This is often great for busy families who are always on-the-go.
4. There really isn't that much time involved.
A lot of people dislike the idea of cooking at home because they think it takes a long time.
However, cooking from home actually takes less time than going out to eat does.
Just think about how much time it takes to load everyone up, drive to the restaurant, be seated, order the food and get served.
The majority of home-cooked meals only take 30 minutes to an hour to prepare and clean-up doesn't take long when you get the whole family to help.
When you compare the two scenarios, cooking from home actually takes less time than eating out.
Making the decision to start cooking healthy is great, but there is some basic cooking equipment that you will need first.
The list of supplies below will help cooks of all skill levels
create quick and healthy meals for their families.
1. Cookware – You've probably got an assortment of pots and pans already, which is good.
However, you may find it beneficial to replace some of your current cookware pieces with more expensive, longer-lasting pieces.
Cast iron is a great cookware option as it's made for durability.
Additionally, cast iron is said to help boost the nutritional value in foods as it impart iron.
Other healthy cookware options include copper-bottomed stainless steel and enamelware.
2. Blender – If you want to eat healthier, you definitely need to invest in a good blender. Blenders will allow you to make a quick fruit smoothie as well as a number of other things. For instance, you can use a blender to make fresh mashed potatoes, homemade salsa, fruit and veggie purees and much more!
3. Pressure Cooker – A pressure cooker is another great tool for the healthy cook.
Not only will it save you time, but it will also keep more nutrients locked into the foods you cook in it.
You can cook foods such as dried beans, brown rice, vegetables and even meats in a pressure cooker…in far less time!
There is a wide variety of pressure cookers available for consumers, making it easy for you to find one in your price range!
4. Knives – Every cook needs some good knives in the kitchen, regardless of whether you're cooking healthy or not.
While you don't need an entire set of good knives, you
will need two or three reliable knives.
Some knives are very expensive, but remember that a good knife can last a
lifetime when cared for properly.
In addition, good knives make preparing food much easier.
The three knives you should start with are a bread knife, paring knife and a large chopping knife.
5. Food Scale – Many people think food scales are a waste of space.
This is not true, especially for those who want to start cooking healthier meals.
Food scales allow you to count calories, control portions and measure precisely for recipes!
6. Juicer – Finally, every healthy cook needs a good juicer.
Juicers are similar to blenders, but they are a little different in the fact that they remove plant fibers in foods such as carrots and wheat grass – a blender isn't able to do that.
What's the benefit of this? Many believe that the body is better able to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream when the digestive system doesn't have to mess with extra fiber.
Click below to check out the most popular models being sold on Amazon right now.Many people want to start eating low-fat meals, but they aren't sure they can do it consistently because they don't feel they can include their family. If you feel this way, there is good news…
you can eat low-fat meals and still feed your whole family! Below are
some tips to help you get started.
1. Some fat is good.
The big mistake made by many people who start low-fat diets is that they try to cut out all fat.
Don't do this. You're body actually needs some fat in order to absorb fat soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin D.
Therefore, don't eliminate all
fats from your diet…be sure to keep healthy fats in it.
2. Look at low-fat options.
More than likely, you'll be able to easily find high-fat foods upon a quick inspection of your refrigerator.
To get started on your low-fat diet, replace these foods with the low-fat versions.
This is especially true for dairy products. Almost every recipe calls for dairy products, using the low-fat products will help you reduce the fat content you and your family consume.
can also find many products in fat-free versions too, which will help even
3. Cook with lean meat.
When it's time to purchase meat, choose meats that are lean.
If you are going to cook with ground beef, get the 93/7 cut.
Also, start cooking with other lean meats such as fish and poultry.
salmon is a "fatty" fish, it's good for you because it contains the healthy
fats your body needs…therefore, don't be afraid to fix salmon for dinner one
4. Stop frying foods.
Frying foods adds an enormous amount of fat to meals.
Therefore, learn how to steam, bake, broil and poach foods instead.
When sautéing foods, use broth instead of
oil. If you must use oil to cook with, use olive oil.
5. Consider non-stick cookware.
While there are some benefits to cooking with cast iron, this cookware is very heavy and actually requires a lot more oil/grease during cooking to prevent foods from sticking.
This isn't the case with non-stick cookware. So, you might
consider switching to non-stick cookware.
6. Learn healthy substitutes for baking.
A lot of recipes call for some kind of fat. You can actually replace most of these fats with plain yogurt and some fruit purees (apple and prune are the best).
Therefore, start reducing the fats in recipes by using these healthy
7. Always stock low-fat, plain yogurt.
For people who want to start cooking low-fat meals, stocking low-fat, plain yogurt is a must.
You can use this as a substitute for sour cream and even strain it for a cream-cheese texture.
And, instead of using heavy cream, thicken sauces with the yogurt!
Many people don't think much about the animal products they purchase at the grocery store, but most of those animals are fed grain.
The most common grains used to feed animals are soybeans and corn.
While this has commonly been an acceptable feeding method for
livestock, now there is a movement supporting pasture-fed animals over grain
fed animals.
There are several advantages of using animal products from pastured and/or
grass-fed animals.
And, if you've noticed at the grocery store, it reflects in the price.
Below are some of the benefits of purchasing pastured/grass-fed
animal products.
1. It's Safer –
Studies have shown that grass-fed beef has a lower E. coli bacterial count than grain-fed beef does.
These studies have also shown that the stomach acid found in grass-fed beef is much more likely to consume the E. coli that is found in these animals, which makes it even safer.
2. Better Nutrition –
There is a difference in the taste and look of the pastured and/or grass-fed animals products compared to those raised on grain.
Just take the eggs from a pastured chicken and compare them to the eggs of grain-fed chickens…the yolks not only look different, but they taste different too!
The meat from grass-fed beef and poultry is also better tasting than that from grain-fed animals.
There are greater amounts of Omega-3's, Omega-6's and CLAs
in grass-fed meats too.
Additionally, these meat products are generally leaner too.
Grains help fatten up animals so farmers can make more money at market, sadly, the extra fat gets passed on to the consumer through the meat.
3. Better for the Environment –
When animals are being pastured instead of grain-fed, they are not only being fed, but making good use of the land.
The majority of animals that are grain-fed are raised in feed lots.
These feed lots are not only crowded, but unsanitary because of the waste build-up.
When storms occur, the run-off can easily be
contaminated with the waste found in feed lots.
In addition, biodiversity of plants is encouraged by pasture-feeding animals,
which is beneficial to the nearby ecosystems.
Finally, a tremendous about of land is used for raising crops for grain-fed animals.
This land could be used
for pasture-feeding instead.
The Animals Benefit Too –
Finally, animals that are allowed to graze in their natural environment (pasture land) instead of being cooped up in a crowded feed lot are happier.
Disease is also a less prevalent problem in grass-fed animals than in feed lots too.
And the animals
are generally treated better when let out to pasture than those found in feed
You may have heard people talking about the good deals they're receiving through their vegetable box scheme/CSA (community supported agriculture).
For some, these programs are great because both the local farmers and the consumers are getting a good deal.
Basically, local farmers are supported through investments made by consumers
and in exchange, the consumers receive fresh fruits and vegetables.
Sounds pretty tempting, right? Before you make the commitment, read through the
following considerations first. It's best to know what you're getting into
before you sign up.
How It Works –
Basically, when you sign up for a CSA box or vegetable box scheme, you agree to pay a set fee for a full season and in return, you will receive a box of fresh, season produce in scheduled intervals.
It may be once a week, bi-weekly or once a month, it just depends on what the conditions are in your agreement.
The produce you receive will be seasonal produce.
You won't be getting any out-of-season produce, so
you need to keep that in mind when deciding what season to sign up for.
What Are the Advantages?
There are several benefits for joining a CSA or vegetable box scheme.
First and foremost,
the produce you receive will all be fresh and is organically grown. Additional
advantages include:
· It's better for the environment as it take much less time and distance to get the produce from the farm to your house. This also means the food will contain less preservatives too.
· The produce is fresh and in-season.
· Generally, these plans are more cost-effective as you don't have to pay additional money for the fuel it takes to transport the produce to the store.
· You'll receive fruits and vegetables you're not used to eating, which will expand you and your family's food palate.
It feels good to support community farmers
and eat healthy, organic foods.
What Are the Disadvantages?
As with everything, there are a few
disadvantages to signing up for a CSA box or organic vegetable box scheme. They
· You have to commit to a full season, and possibly a year. It doesn't matter if you're happy with the service or not, you're committed for the terms of the contract.
· It's possible that you will receive fruits and vegetables that no one in your family likes and you don't know what to do with.
· You are not able to choose what produce you receive. You get whatever is available. There may be times when a substitution is made. For instance, you may receive eggplants if bell peppers didn't do well that year.
It's possible that you may lose your produce
if you are unable to make the scheduled pick-up time.
So, How Do You Find a Good Program?
Basically, start by asking around in your community.
Find out who offers these programs and what they are selling.
Word-of-mouth will also help you determine which farmers have the best reputations and which ones have bad reputations.
Visiting the local farmer's market is a great place to find knowledgeable people about the subject. You can also search online as well.
The food pyramid guidelines suggest that you eat around 4-6 servings of vegetables a day.
If you are not keen on eating them, then this can be a problem.
One solution is to learn how to incorporate more vegetables in your meals in a way that disguises them - get sneaky to get healthy!
Now that you have finished reading this guide you should have a better understanding of what it will take to transition into living a healthier lifestyle where you cook healthier meals for you and your family.
You also now have some helpful information on ways that you can eat healthy on a budget and save money on food – which is the number one complaint people have when it comes to eating healthy (how much more expensive the food is).
And last but certainly not least you even have some tips on ways that you can get your kids to eat healthier too!
Eating healthy is about many things. For one, you can eat anything you want, as long as you eat the proper portions.
The truth of the matter is that most of us eat with wild abandon and count the calories later. Unfortunately, later is too late.
Just about any meal that you eat can be morphed into a healthier version.
It only takes a little know how about ingredients and substitutions.
And, creating your meals at home is a good way to cut out a lot of the fat and calories that you would encounter in the same meal at a restaurant or prepackaged in the grocery store.
Here I'll feature helpful resources to show you more ways for how to learn healthy cooking as I come across them.

amusing how often we spend time doing very little.
went up to new york, hoping to actually do some studying on the 4-5 hour bus ride, but ended up just sitting and listening to music, and portions of 'America: the book." (by the way, if you have not heard that, you really should)
still, was nice going to new york, got a chance to start playing through Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raido, and am generally feeling pretty good, despite the amount of work I have left to do.

Average food,typical touristic seafood tavern...Not recommended
Koralli tavern is located in Aegiali, with a wonderful view on its bay and its beatiful sunsets. We have been going to Greece for many years and tried many typical greek tavernas but this is by far the best. It's a family run taverna and the food is really great. We have eaten here every day during our stay and tasted almost everything from the menu and we have never been let down. The atmosphere and the cooking is really authentic and it is frequented by locals as well. The service is really fast and they always have fresh fish. Considering the level of the food the prices are a real bargain: we have never payed more than 15 euros per person.The waiters speak English and French.

BEAUMONT - Staring incredulously at the first base umpire, Northwest shortstop Sam Saxe turned his palms toward the sky, wondering why his strong throw to first base was ruled too late to complete a double play.
He left no doubt, though, when he got a bat in his hands.
Saxe slammed two home runs Wednesday as Northwest stayed alive in the District 31 Little League Tournament by beating Bob Horlacher, 7-2 in an elimination bracket final at the Bob Horlacher field.
"It feels good to come through in a clutch moment," Saxe said.
His heroics helped Northwest advance to play for district championship against unbeaten Back Mountain on Friday.
"It's awesome," Saxe said. "All of us, it's our last year (in Little League), except for one. It's great to be here now and have a chance to be in the district final."
"This is big for us," Northwest coach Brian Hardiman said. "This is a privelege and an honor for these guys."
Saxe honored the moment with his biggest game yet, but his first blow was the biggest.
After Bob Horlacher struck first while playing as the visitor on its home field when Tyler Faux led off the game with a double and eventually scored on a grounder, Saxe tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the first by lining a shot over the center field wall.
He duplicated the feat with a nearly identical drive in the third inning, using his second homer in as many at-bats to up Northwest's advantage to 6-1.
"I felt like I was zoned into the pitcher," Saxe said. "We'd seen him before, we were confident in our hitting. I think my timing was good."
"Heck of a game," Hardiman said of his star shortstop. "One heck of a kid he is."
All heck broke loose in the second inning, when Northwest pretty much gained the upper hand with a four-run frame built around three Bob Horlacher errors and a couple of key hits.
Michael Sherrick scored the tie-breaking run for Northwest when Jake Reilly reached on a fielder's choice, and Brandon Hardiman - Brian's son - hammered a two-run single to right field. Hardiman also doubled and scored Northwest's final run on an error in the fourth.
About the only thing that didn't go Northwest's way was that call at first base, when Saxe fielded a grounder, stepped on second and fired to first - only to be denied getting the call on the double play attempt.
"Looked like he was out there," Saxe shrugged, "but …"
Bob Horlacher pulled within 5-2 in the third inning, when Mike Lee's single drove home Mitch Rome, but that was all Northwest pitcher David Piestrak allowed.
The righthander worked a complete game six-hitter, striking out five and issuing just one walk along the way.
"Solid pitching, defense was solid," Brian Hardiman said.
Now, Northwest has a solid shot at making a run at a Back Mountain team it must defeat twice to take the District 31 crown.
"I've never seen them play," Saxe said, "but they're obviously a good team to be in the district finals."

Rich Join in Marriage in U.S. as Women Bringing Wealth
June 20 (Bloomberg) -- It's a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife, at least according to Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." Two centuries later, the women are likely to be just as wealthy, a survey by U.S. Trust shows.
Fifty-two percent of rich women came into their marriage or live-in relationship with equal or more assets than their spouse or partner, the Bank of America Corp. unit said in a study released today. Respondents had at least $3 million in investable assets.
"Women are both wealth creators and wealth inheritors," Chris Heilmann, chief fiduciary executive at U.S. Trust, said in an interview. "They are bringing assets to a relationship."
Women are contributing from their careers, inheritances and divorce settlements, Heilmann said. Thirty percent of women said they had entered their relationship with equal financial assets and 22 percent said they had more than their spouse or partner, according to the survey.
There is still a gap when it comes to pay, the study found, as only about a third of female respondents said they are their households' primary earners or contribute an equal amount. The median earnings of women who worked full time was 77 percent of that for men in 2012, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Equal Footing
"Women being on equal footing with men in their finances or financial assets is rather rare," said Deborah Soon, senior vice president of strategy and marketing at New York-based Catalyst Inc., which researches women in the workplace. Women usually get career promotions later than men, which means they lose the value of compounding and fall further behind in building wealth, she said, and they miss opportunities when they leave a job to raise children.
Forty-one percent of women said they had forfeited income or career advancement to care for children compared with 29 percent of men, the U.S. Trust survey showed.
Women make up 4.8 percent of chief executive officers, 8.1 percent of top earners and 16.9 percent of board seats in Fortune 500 companies, according to Catalyst.
The annual nationwide survey of 680 non-U.S. Trust clients was conducted in February and March. About 43 percent of respondents were women and about a third of all those surveyed had more than $10 million in investable assets.
Respondents were asked about marital status, holdings and income. About 547 were married or living with a partner and that group was then asked who brought more assets to the relationship and who was the primary earner. U.S. Trust didn't have comparative data on these questions from last year, Heilmann said.
Stashing Cash
Millionaires still have a high allocation to cash, according to the survey, with women more inclined to keep it that way. Sixty percent of respondents said they had at least 10 percent of their money in cash even as yields on savings and money market accounts hover near record lows. Last year, 56 percent of those surveyed said they had a large amount in cash.
Investors poured money into assets perceived as safe such as bonds and cash after the 2007-2009 financial crisis, when the Standard & Poor's 500 Index of big U.S. stocks lost more than half its value from peak to trough.
People who fled equities remain risk averse or fear they missed gains that won't continue, Heilmann said. The S&P 500 surged 47 percent in the two years ended Dec. 31 as markets rebounded.
U.S. Trust is part of the global wealth and investment management unit of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America. It oversees about $378 billion in client balances and serves those who usually have at least $3 million in investable assets.

Can you be in love with someone you've never met?
THIS IS NOT AT ALL RELATED TO ME so don't think "Oh God", LOL. It's just a random thing I have thought of.
In this day and age, with the Internet being such a prominent way of communication... We meet a lot of people online and sometimes even develop "more than friends" relationships with them. I have known several people who have married someone they met online. My question is, do you think that it is possible to truly be in love someone that you have never physically met? Only had extensive conversations with online? I'm not sure what my opinion is on it, just figured I'd ask here. Lol.

text: What we've heard about elders' meetings makes us cringe. Trivial agendas, power struggles, apathy, and weak leadership. Most claim the biggest challenge to effective shepherding is learning to work together. But it doesn't have to be that way! The work of the elders is too important to be conducted ineffectively. Rather, their spiritual strength and wise leadership should be driving the spiritual growth of the church. And it all starts with the meetings. Meetings That Work will help you bring vitality to your meetings and strength to your relationships as you work through the storms and struggles of normal church life together (worship wars, church discipline, doctrinal disputes, and so on). Short and practical, this book will lead to immediate improvements in your elder meetings.

In addition to the notes from Lawler, there are brief messages and invitations from such Hollywood notables as George Cukor, Janet Gaynor, and Tallulah Bankhead. A late 1920s program from the Mayfair Club of Los Angeles displays two pencilled caricatures of actress Lupe Velez.

Launch Radio playerMarlborough mayor Alistair Sowman has not ruled out a public-private partnership to fund a new ferry terminal at Clifford Bay.
And he expected it could be something Port Marlborough would be interested in.
Mr Sowman told NBR ONLINE Picton is struggling with the uncertainty around its terminal.
"Investment in Picton has stalled. It's very hard at the moment to attract and retain new business and the uncertainty has stalled Port Marlborough's expansion plans."
He says he wanted something better from transport minister Gerry Brownlee in the off-again, on-again Cliford Bay ferry plan announced yesterday.
What Mr Brownlee delivered was a "specialist project group" made up of officials from his ministry, Treasury and NZ Transport Agency to look at the viability of a terminal at Clifford Bay.
After more than 10 years of alternative port debate Mr Sowman was expecting a decision by the end of the year.
Instead, Mr Brownlee says the project group is likely to report back by the end of next April.
New Zealand-based freight company Mainfreight could stand to benefit the most from a shorter travel time between Wellington and Christchurch.
In a written statement to NBR ONLINE, managing director Don Braid says he does not see the necessity of further investigation.
"There have been a number of studies done over the years for Clifford Bay, most point to the benefits that the development will provide. Mr Brownlee needs to make a decision, yes or no and then how."
Mr Braid has not ruled out the idea of Mainfreight getting involved in the ownership, and says a public private partnership "may well be the answer."
KiwiRail, which owns the Interisander ferry, has welcomed the project group. But ceo Jim Quinn says any future development of a new terminal could be years down the track, even if it does get approval.
"The important thing from Interislander's point of view is that a decision is made sooner rather than later so that we can plan for the future."
He says any decision on Clifford Bay would help the company plan its fleet and manage the planned growth in freight over coming years.
But Picton business group chair Graham Gosling is not sure the business proposal for the terminal, estimated to cost $422 million, stacks up.
He agrees with Mr Sowman about the effect on business.
"They're actually playing with Picton and it affects the markets – it affects the retail values of properties because there's so much uncertainty."
Mr Gosling wants prime minister and tourism minister John Key to visit Picton to see how dependent the town is on tourism.
