IAESB Issues Exposure Draft on Proposed Strategic Plan
by Terri Eyden on printer friendly
By Jason Bramwell
The International Accounting Education Standards Board (IAESB) is seeking comments from the public on an exposure draft the independent board released on July 3 on its proposed 2014-2016 IAESB Strategy and Work Plan.
The IAESB's current strategic plan, which was published in March 2010 and set the direction and priorities for the IAESB, is set to expire in December. The approaching expiration of the plan, together with developments in professional accounting education and the profession as a whole, have made it necessary for the board to develop a new strategy and work plan for the next three years, according to the IAESB.
Interested stakeholders have until October 4 to provide comments on the exposure draft (see sidebar).
The IAESB has undertaken an initiative to revise and redraft its suite of eight International Education Standards. The objective of the project is threefold:
- Improving the clarity of the standards.
- Ensuring consistency with concepts of the revised framework document.
- Clarifying issues resulting from changes in the environment of accounting education and the experience gained from implementation of the standards by International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) member bodies.
The revision of the International Education Standards will improve readability and ensure consistent application of each standard by reducing ambiguity about the requirements imposed on an IFAC member body, according to the IAESB. New International Education Standards will not likely be developed, but the IAESB will identify areas requiring guidance to assist with adoption and implementation of the standards.
How to Comment
Organizations and individuals with an interest in professional accounting education are invited to respond to the IAESB proposals for its strategic direction, projects, and activities for the next three years.
Respondents are asked to submit their comments electronically through the IAESB website using the Submit a Comment link by October 4. Comments should be submitted in both a PDF and Word file. First-time users must register to use this feature. All comments will be considered a matter of public record and will ultimately be posted on the IAESB website. Comments can also be sent via e-mail to IAESB Technical Manager David McPeak at email@example.com.
The proposed strategy and work plan focuses on projects and activities aimed at providing adoption and implementation guidance on the revised standards to interested stakeholders in professional accounting education. This will assist IFAC member bodies in increasing the capacity and capability of the global accountancy profession, contributing to strengthened public trust, the IAESB states.
"Accounting education remains a fundamental pillar in improving the quality of reporting and auditing financial statements, and continues to be needed by professional accountants to serve the public interest," IAESB Chair Peter Wolnizer said in a written statement. "The aim of the 2014-2016 IAESB Strategy and Work Plan is to provide guidance on implementing requirements that are needed to develop high-quality professional accounting education programs."
The proposed strategy and work plan also includes four strategic objectives on how the IAESB works through IFAC member bodies to achieve its objective of serving the public interest:
- Establishing a series of high-quality standards and other publications reflecting good practice in the education, development, and assessment of professional accountants.
- Promoting the adoption and implementation of the International Education Standards.
- Developing education benchmarks for measuring the implementation of the International Education Standards.
- Advancing international debate on emerging issues relating to the education, development, and assessment of professional accountants.
According to the exposure draft, the IAESB is proposing its work be directed by three strategic priorities, beginning in 2014:
- Establishing and developing International Education Standards and pronouncements.
- Engaging stakeholders and promoting the adoption and endorsement of the revised standards.
- Supporting and providing guidance to facilitate the implementation of the revised International Education Standards.
"I am confident that the direction of our work will reflect our deep understanding of the strategic and educational challenges confronting the accountancy profession globally as well as the welcomed feedback received from extensive stakeholder consultations," Wolnizer said in the exposure draft. "Opinions from IFAC member bodies, regional organizations, professional accounting associations, public accounting firms, regulators, academics, and members of the public have helped to inform the determination of the IAESB's strategic priorities for the next three years. We will remain sensitive to the dynamic environment and remain alert should there be a need to amend or improve our plan at any time."

Walking on Water promotes priestly vocations
While the folks at awaiting the arrival of Cardinal Timothy Dolan at Holy Hill on Saturday may believe he walks on water, a group priests and seminarians from St. Francis de Sales Seminary will actually be doing so.
Men in Roman collars and black t-shirts will be walking along Milwaukee's bustling Water Street Saturday talking to men about priestly vocations and handing out flyers for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee seminary's Sunday open house.
The second annual Walk on Water kicks off at 9 p.m. at N. Water St. and E. Kilbourn Ave. You can follow their progress on Twitter at #WalkOnWater.
The Sunday open house begins with a noon Mass, followed by tours and other activities from 1-3 p.m. The seminary is at 3257 S. Lake Drive in St. Francis. Register at firstname.lastname@example.com.

When deploy java app on linux, we don't need to install anything, all third-party libs are jar files and we only update classpath in script file. But java needs jre which is quite large.
So is there any other language supported by linux can do that? By default our server only support perl/python/tcl, no gcc available, sigh.

Truthfully the sex scene before the ass shot showed that Ruffalo was comfortable in what he was doing I just think it may have been just shot with him wrapped up. Who know he could have injured himself and for continuity reasons they couldn't show much of him. Sometime we are quick to jump to conclusions.

|7 nights
The rates for this condo are super low. Off season rate is $125/night for a lovely condo in top condition on the sand. Daily maid service is provided. Two couples can easily share this condo and split the $125/night rate. The condo at these rates is a huge bargain. High season rate of $175/night also is well below the competition. We now have 2 pools since we are just completing a new pool (11/11). Large, quiet condominium on the sand. Fabulous views of the Caribbean.Great snorkeling and diving right in front. Condominium is in top condition and has a fully equipped kitchen and daily maid service. We do have wifi on the property.
Smoke-Free condominium has a large private patio with hammock. Each bedroom has a king size bed and private terraces. Property is walled for privacy and has a pool and is beautifully landscaped. We have an ideal location at the end of Half Moon Bay in Akumal where the road ends. We are set back 50 yards making our location both very private and quiet. We have an excellent management team that is very responsive to our renters and are right on the grounds to help solve any problems.
We have many restaurants in Akumal and are within a short drive to Tulum and Playa Del Carmen. Shopping is also available in Akumal.
We are within driving distance to Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Coba. Many wonderful excursions are available. Car rental is available and reasonably priced right at the Cancun Airport which is one hour from the condominium.
This is not a densely populated area. No large hotels. We are located 300 yards from wonderful Yal Ku Lagoon. Owner has a guide to the area and is available to help renters with travel plans.
We have just added a vonage phone and offer our renters free usage of this phone for calls to the U.S. The vonage phone is in our manager's office. We ask that calls be limited to 5 minutes.
Keywords: Condominium,ocean front,pool,snorkeling,child friendly,romantic,private,sandy beach,quiet,on the sand,bargain rates,2 pools,new pillow top mattresses,private patio,free vonage phone,very safe location,fully equipped kitchen.
the owners are Carol & Marty Klein. We are a retired couple that purchased the condo in construction in 1991. It is our goal to make this the best condo and La Iguana the best complex in Akumal. Our other owners are agreement to do all we can to make La Iguana Condos the best in Akumal. I (Marty) love to talk to prospective renters to tell them about the condo and the Akumal area. I have a lot of suggestions for excursions and for restaurants in the area. Because I have owned now for 20 years, I have a lot of knowledge about what the area offers the visitor. Serving our renters is on the top of our list so that they will have a memorable vacation in Akumal and will return and recommend us to family and friends.
The Owner purchased this condo in 1991
We were visiting the area in 1991 and thought this was paradise. We purchased the property while it was in construction when we saw the bay, the location and the view we would have. The snorkeling in Half Moon Bay was wonderful and the fact that the water was so clear and that waves did not break on the shore but broke on the other side of the protective reef. We have a large covered private patio behind locked doors. This patio has a hammock, sofa, table and chairs and a storage area. There are also Caribbean views from this patio. The condo does not have a/c because we have not needed. Our unique location at the northern end of Half Moon Bay and on the north side of the building gives the condo exposure to breezes off the Caribbean, from the north and from the west. These exposure provide almost constant breezes that keep the condo comfortable. We also have high speed fans throughout the condo and have 2 tower portable air coolers that can be placed where ever needed. Even during the hot months of July & August we are almost always comfortable in the condo. Because we do not have a/c, we can rent the condo for rates that are below our competition that does have a/c. The condo is always in top condition and our on site manager is there to handle any problems instantly.
A top notch condo on the sand for incredibly low rates. $175/night in high season and $125/night in low season. Two kid friendly pools on the grounds.Quiet privacy, amazing views from almost everywhere in the condo, wonderful breezes that blow off the water. The amazing amount of activities that are available, the wonderful native people that service the area. The brightness and comfort of the condo. The wonderful management team that is on the grounds and assists with any problem we or our renters may have. Our great maid Ana who always has a smile on her face and does a great job of cleaning the condo everyday. All the wonderful artwork throughout the condo. The fully equipped kitchen that has all the appliances you would need. Yal Ku Lagoon is a wonder and is only a few hundred yards from the condo. We keep our rates very low because we do not have a/c. We have high speed fans throughout the condo and supplement that with portable tower air coolers. Because the condo is at the far northern end of Half Moon Bay, we benefit from our location and the fact that we have exposure to breezes from the east (off the bay), from the north (northern winds are very common in Akumal) and from the east. These exposures and our screened windows that open to let the breezes in, keep us cool and allow us to keep our costs down and therefore our rates very low. Air conditioning is very expensive to maintain in Akumal and why pay for something that you won't need. I have many renters who will attest to the comfort of the condo in the summer. During the months of September through April it almost never gets to the point that one would use a/c but condos that have it charge higher rates all year.
This condo was terrific. My husband, daughter and I enjoyed a week at the condo in September 2014. Located on Half Moon Bay in Akumal we snorkeled right outside our front door. The big windows in the living room afforded us a wonderful view of the Bay.
The condo was fully equipped with water gear, lounging chairs and hammock as well as kitchen supplies. The staff was fantastic - very helpful with suggestions. Hector helped us hire a local chef for one of our evening meals at home - a real highlight enjoying his artistry with Mayan food.
Condo owner, Marty, was very accessible and a wealth of information as we planned our week there.
The condo is close to so many venues - cenotes, Tulum, Coba.
We loved it and felt so comfortable during our stay.
Thank you.
My spouse, twelve year old son and I just returned from a week at La Iguana #5 and could not have been happier with our snorkel holiday. The condo is fully equipped as a home away from home. The Mayan art and furniture add a distinct touch to what is a fabulous layout. The condo would be ideal for two couples but could in a pinch sleep six. If you are looking for a relaxed, quiet spot for snorkelling, checking out the local cuisine, and the turtles in Akumal Bay then this is it. Marty recommended a car rental but we opted for a transfer from the airport, a stop for groceries and we were all set. Bike rentals were readily available and this suited our needs for checking out the local area and getting out and about. In the end, we came for the snorkeling just seconds away and were not disappointed. Marty was a consummate host and offered information and was readily available when I had questions. This was an affordable, low season getaway that I can only heartily recommend. Many thanks Marty for a wonderful week!
The view from this condo is literally breath-taking. The pictures do not do it justice. We kept wondering if we were in a dream; it is so open you almost feel like you are outside. We really enjoyed the snorkeling right in front of the condo (for good swimmers) and also in Akumal Bay to see the turtles. The on-site staff were very friendly and helpful. We rented this knowing there was no AC; although at times it was a little warm, the breezes kept it comfortable. The only complaint I have is that the memory foam mattress on the master bed was too thick for my comfort. So I just slept on the cushions on the benches in the main room which were very comfortable (my daughters loved their bed in the second room). We had our own hammock to hang on the porch (but were offered one by the staff). I hope to be able to return here again and have a feeling that some of our family members may be looking into it after seeing our pictures! Marty was always very prompt and thorough answering all of my questions. We also went to Coba and Tulum; and really enjoyed a beach restaurant to the south of the ruins- San Francisco(have to drive into town and take left up road on coast). Also enjoyed La Buena Vida on road to condo, and ice cream at Lucy's in the Turtle Bay Bakery and Cafe (many restaurants were recommended we just didn't have time to eat at all of them). Recommend grocery shopping in Tulum or on way down from Cancun area; kitchen is well stocked for cooking (though no spices except salt and pepper). Recommend having a rental car if staying at this condo. An amazing condo for a great price!
We had the pleasure of staying in this condo the week over Christmas. When we saw the amazing panoramic view of the ocean, we were spellbound. This condo had everything we could need in amenities, privacy, location and ambiance. The kitchen was fully equipped and gave us the freedom to enjoy some meals lingering in front of the amazing view. Even with 4 adults and 2 children, it was very spacious. There was a lot of space to stretch out and relax. With the spacious balcony area overlooking one of the 2 pools and garden, and the sunning area in front of the ocean, there were more than enough areas to have your own quiet space when you wanted it. The beds were very comfortable, and our showers were always hot. Our maid was very sweet and kept the condo sparkling, and our filtered water stocked. The condo stayed wonderfully cool, with the cross-breeze coming through. I also very much enjoyed the art and decor around the condo. There are so many touches that display the owner's love of the culture and the art of Mexico.
We also loved the location of the condo. Although its true that you really do need a vehicle to get around and explore, any inconvenience at driving to meals or groceries is well worth it. The Akumal beach resort area is lovely and fun, but busy. We loved heading back to our quiet oasis. A few days before Christmas, information went out to the condos regarding traditional Christmas dinners you could order from the Turtle Bay Bakery & Cafe and pick up on the 24th. We thought it was a great value, and the food was delicious. This enabled us to still enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner together with our family (but without the dirty turkey pan!). Right in front of the condo is wonderful ocean snorkelling. Within a short walk is also the calm Ya-Kul lagoon, which made us feel like we had jumped into a page from National Geographic.
Marty was a pleasure to deal with, and he has a ton of great tips to make the most of your time. We are already dreaming and plotting of when we can return to Akumal, which we seriously hope is later this year. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else there. Thank you!
I agree with others that this condo has the best view of all, being right at the end of the cove of Akumal. I love it early morning, and evening when all the lights come on. We have stayed here a couple of times, and it is a lovely place to stay. The condo is well planned out and has lots of space. The floor to ceiling windows allow you to see everything on the water, but no high rises, nor large buildings, nor noisy discos anywhere near. You are within easy driving distance of the best part of the coast here, although this is one of the best beach areas, and the beautiful lagoon is a very short walk away.
We come for a short break from our life in the interior on the Yucatan peninsula, and I am sure we will be back. The staff who manage the condo are very good, and everything is perfect when we arrive. The photos, while good, can never do justice to the actual view!
The condo is beautiful and so very Mexican! A wonderful location, close to the best attractions on the coast. The view is beautiful, and while the weather was very windy, with large waves, the bay was quite calm - enough for snorkelling with the turtles. Don't bother with the turtle tour, just start swimming off the beach (wear water shoes and beware sea urchins!) The town has one of the best gift shops I found. Rent a car (be careful, research the pitfalls. If your credit card covers any of the liability insurance, make sure you take the paperwork with you). By having your own car, you arrive at attractions such as Xel-Ha hours before the tours arrive, and pay much less. Who wants to spend their holidays on a bus? There is a tv, but only used as a dvd player, so plan accordingly. We did not miss it. A 5-minute walk to Yal Ku lagoon, snorkel all day for @ 12.50/person. Entrance to Tulum costs 57 pesos (5.00 CDN). It was honestly the best vacation we have ever had. Thank you so much Marty for your recommendations and the use of your condo. If you are planning on renting this condo, book early because I am recommending it to every one I know, and planning already for next year.
Birdwatching, caving & cave diving, Mayan ruins, jungle excursions. I do have some weights that I would be glad to loan to any interested renter to work out with. We have a cook that can prepare a meal for renters. Ask me about it if you are interested.

Wolves to face Spurs in Mexico City next season
JUN 25, 2013 10:38a ET
MINNEAPOLIS -- The NBA continues to include the Minnesota Timberwolves in asserting its global footprint.
The Minneapolis franchise announced Monday morning it will travel to Mexico City for a Dec. 4 clash with the San Antonio Spurs, marking the Timberwolves' first regular-season venture outside the United States since playing two 1999 season-opening contests in Japan. Minnesota also plans to host Russian professional team CSKA Moscow and travel to Montreal, Quebec for preseason exhibitions in October.
The Mexico tilt's part of the league's 12-team, 10-game NBA Global Games slate that features matchups in six different countries and territories.
With six players on the current roster hailing from other countries -- second only to San Antonio -- playing internationally makes perfect sense for Minnesota, Timberwolves president Chris Wright said in a release.
"With the huge international presence on our current roster and our increasing global popularity, this is a natural fit for us," Wright said. "The NBA has done a phenomenal job in growing our game globally, and we're excited to be a part of history as the NBA continues to expand its brand internationally."
It will be Minnesota's first game in Mexico City soil, while the nearby Spurs have played four preseason contests there.

Tech Support: Can 'Catching Fire' crack the costume design Oscar race?
The category of Best Costume Design is always one of my favorite races, particularly in the pre-nominations stage. It can be so unpredictable. This is also the first year where the costume designers have formed a separate branch from the art department. While it is difficult to know precisely how this will affect the race, it only increases my curiosity in what appears to be a very open category beyond two rather obvious leading contenders.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy in Spotlight and New Frontier films at Sundance 2014
Hard to believe that we're a little over a month away from Sundance, a film festival so sprawling that the announcement of its lineup is staggered over several days. Along with the rest of Team HitFix, I'll once more be braving the cold to give you the first word on eagerly awaited heavyweights and undiscovered gems alike. But not everything at the Sundance Film Festival is shiny and new -- some premieres from other fests are too exciting not to be cherry-picked, which brings us to the Spotlight section.
This year's selection of eight Spotlight titles includes films initially premiered at Cannes, Venice and Toronto, among others -- some of which perhaps didn't get the attention they deserved in the initial festival rush, and some of which certainly did.
'Man of Steel' grounded by Best Visual Effects Oscar bake-off list
Sorry, it's a little ridiculous that "Man of Steel" — I don't care WHAT you think of the film otherwise — was left off the Academy's list of seven bake-off finalists for Best Visual Effects. But these things are often about politics, and I imagine there was plenty of that at play here.
Brace yourself, America: 'Nyphomaniac' coming your way for Easter
Yes, Magnolia Pictures has at last confirmed the US release dates for both halves of "Nymphomaniac," and it all comes to a head, so to speak, on Good Friday, April 18 -- when Part Two will be set free into theaters. Part One, meanwhile, precedes it by nearly a month, hitting screens on March 21.
Exclusive: 'Tim's Vermeer' poster finds genius between the brushstrokes
When I idly caught Teller's documentary "Tim's Vermeer" at Telluride back in August, it was an instant sensation. I adored its vision of art as ingenuity and the profound places it went. The film's subject, Tim Jenison, received one of the most enthusiastic standing ovations I've ever seen at Telluride, and the film, thankfully, made the cut with the Academy's list of documentary feature finalists earlier this week.
Roundup: The fashion-forward futurism of 'Her'
Among the many things I liked about yesterday's NBR champ "Her" is the sleek, subtle futurism of its design elements -- Casey Storm's costumes, in particular, are among my favorites of the year, and while I wouldn't expect the Academy to spring for them, I really hope the Guild takes notice of Storm's cleverly evolved silhouettes and punchy color palette. After all, it's the only film this year to inspire a range from a high-end fashion house: with Spike Jonze's collaboration, Opening Ceremony is introducing the technology-minded line this month. Says Storm of his designs: "The idea was to create a world that looks a lot like the world we live in, but just different enough to tell you that you are not 100 percent in the present." [New York Times]
The Long Shot: The critics' award conundrum
Following the awards race for a living can have depressingly season-warping effects: Christmas shoppers line the streets of London, my local grocer is flogging fir trees on the pavement, and yet it only really felt like December to me when people started arguing about the New York Film Critics' Circle awards on Twitter. The arguments varied -- some were over the worthiness of the Circle's actual selections, others over their impact on the Oscar race going forward, still others about the apparent racial implications of voting for Jennifer Lawrence. (I wish I was making that last one up.) Ah yes, 'tis the season. Isn't it lovely?
Golden Globes 2014 Contenders: Who is a lock for a nod and who's not?
As Amy Poehler succinctly noted last January, it's once again time for the Golden Globes. The one night a year where the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people of television (we kid). Of course, that also means some of Hollywood's biggest names need to socialize with the dreaded Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) in order to get that Golden Globes boost. While the Globes mean little in terms of actual Oscar nominations or final wins, they have been a big help at the box office. And, when it all comes down to it, that's what really matters most in awards season: money.
First Look: Anne Hathaway, Aaron Paul and Christina Hendricks lead Sundance 2014 films
The lineup for the 2014 Sundance Film Festival has been revealed, and it's among the starriest in recent memory. Take a look at new images from some of the films unspooling at the Park City event, featuring such Hollywood names as Anne Hathaway, Aaron Paul, Christina Hendricks, Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Lena Dunham, and Dane DeHaan.

The town of Malvern is located in Worcestershire in the West Midlands of England. Formerly a spa town, Malvern is home to over 28,000 people.
Manufacturing firms provide over 15% of the jobs in Malvern, with recruitment agencies popularly handling vacancies in this industry. The vast majority of the towns manufacturing companies are located in and around the Spring Lane Industrial Estate. Morgan Motor Company is one of Malvern's major employers in this industry, having been based in the town since 1910. Next door to Morgan Motor Company is Chance Brothers, a glass tubing and microscope slide manufacturer.
In addition to its role in British manufacturing, Malvern is known for its rich agricultural history, being home to the 70-acre Three Counties Showground, the venue of the annual Three Counties Show. This show is amongst the UK's most important agricultural shows and attracts around 93,000 visitors each year. The showground also hosts the Royal Horticultural Society's annual Spring Gardening Show.
Aside from manufacturing and agricultural jobs, Malvern provides countless employment opportunities for science and technology staff. Malvern Hills Science Park is where over 30 science and technology firms, including Textlocal and Goodrich Corporation, can be found. These firms collectively provide jobs for 20% of the town's working population.
In 2012, Malvern's unemployment rate was just 5.1%, which was lower than the national average of 7.9%. Its full-time workers received an average weekly salary of £445.90, just a few pounds short of the average for the West Midlands.

Pune: Old habits die hard and this is true in case of 24-year-old Amit Kamble, a notorious conman who turned unlucky getting caught while trying to trap his 13th victim.
Kamble had been arrested only last month, and was out on bail. Police investigations had then revealed that he conned 12 victims in a similar modus operandi by calling up relatives of patients admitted to ICU in city hospitals and posing as a doctor he asked them to hand over money for an urgent surgery or life saving injection.
In the latest case, the conman tried to dupe Wahid Qureshi whose wife Tabbasum Qureshi was admitted in the ICU ward of Sahyadri Hospital at Deccan Gymkhana. He acquired Qureshi's number from receptionist of the hospital by telling him that he is a certain Dr Agarwal and even instructed staff at the ward to put her on oxygen claiming she had a weak pulse even though she was in a perfect condition. Later, he called Qureshi claiming that his wife had to be administered with 30 expensive injections and demanded Rs57,000. When Wahid said he couldn't pay the amount, he negotiated the sum to Rs30,000.
"As he had done in the past cases, he hired a cool cab and asked the driver to collect a parcel for him and in turn told the victim to hand over the money to the driver, so that the conman is in the clear. However the patient's relative had inquired with hospital authorities and when he learned that there is no one called Dr Agarwal working at hospital, victim's relatives informed us. A trap was laid and Kamble was arrested," said investigation officer Ramesh More of Deccan police.
He has been remanded to police custody till June 30.
Kamble a resident of Navi Peth has duped several people in the past using the same modus operandi He has duped patients in similar fashion at Ruby Hall Clinic, Poona Hospital, KEM Hospital and Sasson general Hospital. He was arrested today by Deccan police and booked under IPC section 308-attempt to commit culpable homicide, 419- cheating by personation and 511 attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment.

Listeria Attorney William Marler Calls on Congress to Investigate Cantaloupe Outbreak
Food poisoning attorney and food safety expert William Marler is calling on Congress to open investigations into the multi-state Listeria outbreak linked to cantaloupe produced by Colorado-based Jensen Farms.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 21, 2011
William Marler, the prominent attorney and food safety expert who has represented thousands of victims of foodborne illness, is calling on Congress to investigate the ongoing Listeria outbreak linked to cantaloupe.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevetion (CDC) the outbreak, now the second most deadly in U.S. history, has sickened at least 123, causing 25 deaths and at least one miscarriage.
Last month, state and federal public health agencies linked the outbreak to Colorado-based Jensen Farms. On October 19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a report detailing unsanitary conditions and widespread contamination throughout the Jensen Farms packing facility despite the farmâs score of 96 on a scale of 100 during a food safety audit conducted by a third-party private company days before the outbreak was announced.
âœItâs crystal clear that the entire chain of production â" from grower, processor, wholesaler, shipper and retailer â" is at fault in this outbreak. We are seeing a failure of the food protection system on several levels,â said Marler.
Currently there are no accreditation procedures to verify companies performing third-party audits. According to nationwide news reports, the cantaloupe industry as a whole is undergoing large-scale economic losses due to the outbreak.
âœFor the sake of the families affected by this tragedy, for the future of production practices, and for the sake of the cantaloupe industry, Congress needs to conduct an investigation as soon as possible,â Marler continued.
Earlier this month, dozens of Marlerâs clients sent a letter to the House Energy and Commerce Committee imploring it to hold hearings on the outbreak. Marler said he intends to send another letter next week with additional signatories.
âœAt the core of this are mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters; all of whom have seen a loved one endure horrible pain and suffering or even death–all because they ate cantaloupe. Never mind the industry losses and the obvious systematic problems; on the most basic human level, these people deserve an explanation.â
WILLIAM (BILL) MARLER is the Managing Partner of MARLER CLARK, the nationâs leading law firm dedicated to representing victims of foodborne illness such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. Marler Clark's food poisoning lawyers have unmatched experience and have recovered over $600,000,000 for clients. For more information or to speak with Mr. Marler contact Cody Moore at 1-206-407-2200 or cmoore(at)marlerclark(dot)com.

Dillard Picks Up Teachers' Endorsement; Rauner Still Pouring Own Money Into Race
Republican gubernatorial candidate Kirk Dillard got the endorsement of a retired group of teachers Wednesday. But he's still lagging front-runner Bruce Rauner, who continues to tap his significant personal fortune for his campaign.
The Illinois Retired Teachers Association has nearly 36,000 members. President Bob Pinkerton says this is the first time the group has endorsed a candidate for governor.
He praised Dillard's vote against a massive pension overhaul intended to cut benefits for teachers and state employees.
"We respect Sen. Dillard, and know he will honor his word and uphold his end of the bargain, as we teachers upheld ours," Pinkerton says.
Dillard is playing up this endorsement, as he did with one from one of the state's biggest teachers unions. But he's still not advertising on TV, which even he acknowledges is a crucial way of reaching voters.
"It just depends on the money," Dillard says. "You know, I'd love to go on 'The Today Show' several times an hour, like the other guy."
That other guy would be private equity investor Bruce Rauner. Earlier this week he dropped another $1.3 million of his vast personal wealth into his campaign account.
That brings his total self-funding alone to more than $5 million.

IT ALL STARTED WITH THE GRAMMY. Two years ago Brave Combo touched off no small controversy when Polkasonic won best polka album, beating out such pillars of the traditional genre as Jimmy Sturr and Eddie Blazonczyk. The backlash came quickly. " WHO IN THE HELL PAID THE JUDGES SO THAT YOU COULD WIN?" one detractor e-mailed the group. " YOU GUYS STINK AS A POLKA BAND." If you've ever watched postmodern American youths jubilantly doing the chicken dance and the hokey pokey at a Brave Combo show, you might wonder how such an unremittingly sunny, bouncy, and fun-loving group could so rile folks up. But that first-ever Grammy win kicked off a wild ride in which Brave Combo took its hard-rocking brand of music to mainstream polka audiences for the first time. The band fine-tuned its style to accommodate polka's various musical factions, had some unsettling encounters with white supremacists, and eventually won fans who had always been just beyond its reach. It was worth a few hard knocks.
Now Brave Combo is ready for more. Its latest album, Kick-Ass Polkas, which was recorded live at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio, during a close encounter with the polka's old guard, is a finalist for another Grammy. When the awards are announced on February 27, another win would help consolidate Brave Combo's foothold in the traditional polka world even as the band continues to make a living in the alternative-rock world. It's an unlikely combination, but Brave Combo has never done things the easy way. Lord knows this is not your typical polka band. The group has no dominating ethnic orientation; in fact, it's an interracial band. They also tend to dress funny, wear their hair all wrong, and play way too loud. But don't forget that when Carl Finch (who plays the accordion, guitar, and keyboards and handles most of the singing and songwriting) launched the Denton quintet in 1979, they were hardly your typical rock band either. Nobody in that new-wave era took polkas, or the accordion, as anything other than a dreadful offense. Over the decades, Brave Combo has evolved from a raw, ragged, but delightfully infectious garage band into that rarest of aggregations, one that sounds tight and loose simultaneously. The group has earned a living all this time—without having to resort to day jobs!—making arguably the most outsider music in the pop world. And having made that world safe for polkas and accordions, it was only natural to want to do something similar with pop-rock aesthetics for the aging, insular, and ever-shrinking traditional polka world.
In Texas the band made inroads by performing at annual festivals like Westfest in West and ethnic dance halls like Sefcik Hall, outside Temple. Still, Finch often felt like a hired hand whose assignment was to lure a younger audience to the sound, and some old-timers felt that the group was making fun of the music rather than having fun with it. Despite a handful of fans among more-progressive musicians, Brave Combo never gained a footing in polka hotbeds like Chicago, Buffalo, and Cleveland. So the band released Polkasonic with Cleveland International Records instead of Rounder, the roots-music label that had released most of the band's previous work. Cleveland International has existed, off and on, since 1977, a year before its owner, Steve Popovich, issued Meat Loaf's multiplatinum debut, but during the past seven years the label has gained a strong reputation for polkas. "We went with Steve because he knew the polka deejays and promoters," Finch says. "Steve could put his whole office behind it, and with his industry contacts, it'd get into some hands it wouldn't otherwise."
The plan worked. Brave Combo received airplay from important polka deejays like Tony Petkovsek in Cleveland and Chuck Stastney in South Dakota. The Grammy controversy—the monthly Polish American Journal published a letter condemning the group because the members weren't Polish in the same issue that an editorial praised the band for expanding the music's audience—helped far more than it hurt. Congratulatory e-mails far outnumbered critical ones. The award also won Brave Combo the chance to take its case directly to the premier dance halls and summer polka festivals of the East and upper Midwest. There was just one catch: The band had to learn to play a little differently.
You see, it may sound like a polka is a polka is a polka, but the form supports myriad variants—German and Dutchman, Chicago Push and Cleveland Slovenian, eastern and western Pennsylvanian—defined mostly by ethnicity, language, and differing dance styles. It's a fragmented, politically torrid world in which opposing camps have little to do with each other. "Because we're not Polish or German or Czech, we're nothing," says Finch. "We're threatening in a way, but in another way, we're not threatening at all because we don't represent any one faction. Our mission is to remove the extraneous attachments from the music that most people think have to be there to give it substance—you know, the drinking and the lederhosen. To remove sausage and beer from polka music—that would be our greatest achievement." Still, Brave Combo felt obligated to learn the nuances of varying styles so that traditional audiences could dance to the music. "Winning the Grammy, we felt shock, excitement, and 'Oh, man, this is a responsibility,'" bassist Bubba Hernandez recalls. For the most part, the band prevailed; audiences didn't prove hostile so much as curious, and if their show-me skepticism resulted in a lukewarm reception at Bel-Aire Polka Days in Chicago, the throng at the Polka Fireworks Festival at Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania whooped it up instantly.
Still, there were some scares. On occasion Brave Combo had heard of a polka fringe that considers the music to be a badge of racial pride, but that hadn't fully prepared the group for the white supremacist in Minnesota who asked the members prove their loyalty by denouncing jazz as the music of Satan and wanted them to wear his "Polish Power" T-shirts onstage (they

Chisenhall hits grand slam in 5-3 win
CLEVELAND Lonnie Chisenhall hit his first career grand slam, Scott Kazmir pitched into the seventh inning and the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals 5-3 on Saturday night.
Chisenhall's homer in the sixth broke open a 1-0 game and hit off the facing of the second deck in right field, landing in Kansas City's bullpen.
Kazmir (5-4) allowed two runs in 6 1-3 innings for his first victory since June 21 as the Indians won for the fifth time in seven games.
Miguel Tejada's RBI single in the seventh broke a streak of 22 consecutive scoreless innings for Kansas City, which has lost four in a row. Alcides Escobar's infield hit with the bases loaded added two runs in the inning.
Chris Perez, pitching for the sixth time in eight days, worked the ninth for his 12th save.
Jason Kipnis' sacrifice fly in the third gave Cleveland the lead against Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie (8-7). That began a stretch that saw Guthrie retire nine straight, which Kipnis ended with a leadoff single in the sixth. Michael Brantley's one-out double moved Kipnis to third and Carlos Santana was intentionally walked.
Guthrie struck out Jason Giambi on a 3-2 pitch but Chisenhall teed off on his next delivery. The home run was the 22nd allowed by Guthrie, tying him for the American League lead.
Chisenhall, the Indians' No. 1 draft pick in 2008, began the season as Cleveland's starting third baseman but was sent to Triple-A Columbus in May. He has three homers and 14 RBIs since being recalled on June 18.
Kazmir remained unbeaten at Progressive Field this season, going 5-0 in eight starts. The left-hander walked the first two hitters in the sixth before Mike Moustakas fouled out. Tejada's single off Matt Albers scored Salvador Perez before David Lough grounded out. Albers intentionally walked Alex Gordon after falling behind 3-0. Escobar beat out a slow groundball to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera as Lorenzo Cain and Tejada scored.
Rich Hill struck out Eric Hosmer to end the inning. Vinnie Pestano worked out of a two-on, one-out jam in the eighth, which ended when Santana, playing first base, made a leaping grab of Tejada's line drive that.
Guthrie allowed five runs and eight hits in seven innings. He's recorded one win since June 10, a stretch of six starts.
Michael Bourn singled and took third on Cabrera's single in the third. Kipnis lifted a flyball near the left field line, which was deep enough to score Bourn.
Kipnis, who will be making his first All-Star appearance Tuesday in New York, was 3 for 3 with an RBI and stolen base.
Cabrera, who was 1 for 3 with a walk, has been the subject of trade rumors. Media reports have said the Indians and St. Louis are discussing a deal that would send the two-time All-Star to the Cardinals in for pitching help. The Indians entered play Saturday ranked 12th in the American League in ERA.
The rumors involving Cabrera, who can be a free agent following next season, coincide with the Indians promoting shortstop Francisco Lindor, their No. 1 pick in 2011, to Double-A Akron.

Speech Generating Devices (SGDs) are defined as speech aids that provide individuals with severe speech impairment the ability to meet their functional speaking needs. Devices that meet the definition of SGDs:
Examples of devices that would not meet the definition of SGDs include:
Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are licensed health professionals educated at the graduate level in the study of human communication, its development and its disorders. An SLP holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in speech-language pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Digitized speech, sometimes referred to as a device with whole message speech output, utilizes words or phrases that have been recorded by an individual other than the SGD user for playback upon command of the SGD user.
Synthesized speech, unlike the pre-recorded messages of digitized speech, is a technology that translates a user's input into device-generated speech. Users of synthesized speech SGDs are not limited to re-recorded messages but rather can independently create messages as their communication needs dictate.
Personal Digital Assistants are handheld devices that integrate the functions of a small computer with features such as a cell phone, personal organizer, electronic mail or pager. Information may be input via a pen-based system using a stylus and handwriting recognition software, keyboard or downloaded from a personal computer using special cables and software.
Speech generating software programs enable a laptop computer, desktop computer or PDA to function as an SGD. Within this policy, the term SGD also describes these speech generating software programs.
Accessories for speech generating devices include, but are not limited to, access devices that enable selection of letters, words or symbols via direct or indirect selection techniques. Examples of access devices include optical head pointers, joysticks, switches, wheelchair integration devices and SGD scanning devices. In addition, replacement accessories such as batteries, battery chargers and AC adapters are also included as accessories.
Mounting systems are devices necessary to place the SGD device, switches, and other access devices within reach of the patient.
Accessories for SGDs include, but are not limited to access devices that enable selection of letters, words, or symbols via direct or indirect selection techniques. Examples of access devices include, but are not limited to:
Each benefit plan or contract defines which services are covered, which are excluded, and which are subject to dollar caps or other limits. Members and their providers have the responsibility for consulting the member's benefit plan or contract to determine if there are any exclusions or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between a Medical Policy and a member's benefit plan or contract, the benefit plan or contract will govern.
A speech generating device (SGD) may be considered medically necessary when ALL the following criteria are met:
Software that enables a laptop computer, desktop computer or personal digital assistant (PDA) to function as an SGD may be considered medically necessary as an SGD.
Accessories and upgrades may be considered medically necessary if the coverage criteria are met and documentation supporting the medical necessity is clearly documented in the evaluation by the SLP.
An SGD is considered not medically necessary for any of the following:
Communication aids that are not SGDs are considered not medically necessary as they:
Examples of non-covered communication aids include, but are not limited to, the following:
Policy Guidelines
Speech generating devices include the device, any applicable software, batteries, battery chargers, and AC adapters. These items are not reimbursed separately. However, batteries, battery chargers, and AC adaptors would be considered replacement accessories and allowed for reimbursement when billed alone for replacement purposes.
Speech generating software programs are not reimbursed separately at the initial provision of the SGD since the software cost is included in the SGD reimbursement. Also, there should be no separate billing of any software, interfaces, cables, adapters, interconnects, or switches necessary for the accessory to interface with the SGD.
Speech generating devices have been proven to be valuable tools to aid individuals with severe speech impairment. This policy is based on Medicare DMERC coverage criteria for speech generating devices.
2013 Update
A search of peer reviewed literature through July 2013 identified no new information that would change the coverage position of this medical policy.
Disclaimer for coding information on Medical Policies
Procedure and diagnosis codes on Medical Policy documents are included only as a general reference tool for each policy. They may not be all-inclusive.
The presence or absence of procedure, service, supply, device or diagnosis codes in a Medical Policy document has no relevance for determination of benefit coverage for members or reimbursement for providers. Only the written coverage position in a medical policy should be used for such determinations.
Benefit coverage determinations based on written Medical Policy coverage positions must include review of the member's benefit contract or Summary Plan Description (SPD) for defined coverage vs. non-coverage, benefit exclusions, and benefit limitations such as dollar or duration caps.
Refer to the ICD-9-CM manual.
Refer to the ICD-10-CM manual.

Sorry to hear that Busy.
Lindsay, try the torch at night method for slugs. Pick any you see for a night or two and you will have good lettuce
Salino.....with your new grass? Echinaceas are good for wild gardens as well as "tidy" ones
Outdoor girl. Sounds excellent. In a mass like that especially. Only a girl could do that with pink
Fidger, almost lost summer sky....a favourite and a toughie...this year. Yes, slugs were the reason here too. Bit late dealing with them but now they are ready to flower again.
Pansyface, try cutting them back.....sort of Chelsea chop?.....and allowing them to flower only when nearing the longest day thus building a good root system first is the way I thinkI
Word on the weather.........36 degrees according to my car thermometer at 2 today. Very, very hot in my walled garden .....don't worry folks if you want it cooler cos I just bought a load of ice creams and lagers. It will rain now
Lindsay, get them outside now.
Only in cooler seasons would you grow lettuce inside.
Echinaceas are bossing my garden now.......they love this summer. For summer long vibrancy in any sunny spot and perfect partnership with grasses right now echinaceas take some beating. Doubles, singles, whites, yellows, pinks, reds, oranges etc. A big clump of Marmalade has loads of large orange amd brown amd yellow flowers on 4' stems and already has been flowering for weeks.
Will you let echinaceas boss your garden?
Tomsk, well you have grown a delightful dahlia there .....??ou will get more confidence as you grow more pleasing plants.
Beau's Mum, lovely fuschias
White delphinium looking superb now and broadway lights competing for star in the garden today.
Morning labradouble
No, don't reseed just yet.....water that area really well
You don't say what type of weedkiller.......it may also kill any reseeded grass. Live with it for few weeks then reseed in September if necessary
Sounds over the top and potentially damgerous. Not method I would use. Spraying far more effective and safer.
You will love it MrsG ......and watch out for seedlings to pot up and plant out next spring. Best In groups
What a lot of sentimental emotion from Alan Titchmarsh again.
Lovely programme. Done superbly. Pure escapism . tonight's programme was highly enjoyable
Well done Alan

Slate's Jordan Weissmann puts Apple's product lines into perspective versus other large companies (Tech or not).
iPhone revenues alone eclipse that of either software behemoth Microsoft or online retail giant Amazon. Businessweek (September 2013):
"If the iPhone were its own company in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, iPhone Inc. would outsell 474 of 500 companies; iPhone's $88.4 billion in annualized revenue tops 21 of the 30 component companies in the Dow Jones industrial average—it would be the ninth-biggest stock in the Dow 30."
Consider these two product lines:
iPhone = Google + eBay
iPad = Yahoo + Facebook + LinkedIn + Twitter + Group + Tesla
Truly insane.

DOBSON — The adage "to give is better than to receive" rings true with Surry Community College's Angel Tree program.
Audrey Mahan, Student Government Association (SGA) president, and Jai Lor, SGA parliamentarian, know first hand what it is like to be a recipient of Angel Tree programs, which is why giving back to the community means so much to them.
"It blesses my heart," Mahan said as she was finalizing purchases for the children on her Angel Tree shopping list. "I've been where those parents have been, not having a clue knowing what I was going to do for my kids at Christmas. And, I've been there as a child, when my dad was out of work and my mom had just had a baby and was out of work, too. This program helps the parents as much as it does the kids. Being on the child side is hard, but being on the parent side is harder."
Mahan's favorite part of working as the SCC student body president for two years has been doing fundraisers to support the Angel Tree program. Last year, 60 families asked for assistance through the Office of Student Services at SCC, and this year 40 families will benefit. The program provides $60 to purchase clothing, shoes and toys for each child's Christmas.
"I hope the fact that the numbers are down means that families are doing better this year," Mahan said.
Mahan is on track to graduate from SCC in the spring with an associate's degree in early childhood education and with two certificates in business administration and accounting.
Jai Lor said he wants to go into recreational therapy after graduating from Surry. "Participating in the Angel Tree program means a lot to me because people did this for me when I was younger," she said. "It's very fun, and I love it. I wish I could do this every year."
Other SGA officers also felt like they were doing something worthwhile for the community through the Angel Tree program.
"It feels good to be able to help other people and bring smiles to children's faces, especially knowing this might be the only Christmas presents they get," Courtland Wagoner said.
The Angel Tree project provides Lauren Henderson with a perspective of the holiday season.
"Christmas is about giving back. People get caught up in the consumerism of the holidays, but that's not what it's about," she said. "The Angel Tree program is the true meaning of Christmas, helping others and giving back."
"I've done similar projects like this in the past three years," said Randy Sprinkle who added the Angel Tree program is a great way to reach out to kids.We help kids with toys, but we are also giving them clothes and things that can help them throughout the year."
SCC's Coordinator of Student and Community Engagement, Kasey Martin, assisted the SGA officers with shopping.
"It feels great to help give back to the community especially helping children who can't provide for themselves," Martin said. For more information about the Angel Tree program or to make a donation, contact Martin at (336) 386-3468 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Typical a-hole trying to get out of ticket I deserve
View Single Post
Joined: Oct 2011
Location: South Mississippi
Oddometer: 50
Im from California. .and a former police officer, with many years in traffic enforcement. I may take your wrath, no matter. As I see it, he cut you a break. It is dangerous and disruptive to other motorists. You may be the best wheelie rider on earth, or the worst, immaterial. I I do see an attitude in your replies to some who were either trying to help you, or egging this on a bit. There have been numerous posts spent rationalizing or justifying your actions.(I.e., I see other people doing such and such and they didnt get a ticket). This mentality is juvenile. Fact is, you were wrong. Same as a cager doing a smoking burnout on the street at 15mph. Its just illegal. (Exhibition of speed). Take your lumps like a man. NOW, to offer help. Go to court, act like a decent respectable grown up. Admit your fault and THEN state your case as far as reducing the fine. You may be found guilty and fined as low as one dollar. That part is up to the judge. The police dont set the fines. The part about lying to the judge....wow. Yes, people do it alllll the time...there are no guilty people in prison, right? But keep in mind, the officer may have the incident on video. Im sure the judge would be happy to make you a guest of the state of California for perjury under oath. Risky, and again wrong.

I miss the low crowds, that's for sure. Even though I don't agree with franchising everything to death, I have to admit that everything they've done so far is an improvement over what was there before.
I must say that I do sort of miss the bubbly, watery Paradise Pier music, even though I like the new music better. Oh, and I miss the sun face on the Sun Wheel and the Mickey silhouette on California Screamin'. That's something I wish would have stayed the way it was.
ETA: Oh yeah, and I second the Strips Dips 'n Chips! I know it's silly especially since we have Toy Story Mania there now, but man I loved those strips and all the different sauces. I agree, they tasted SO much better than the stuff you get at Stage Door.

"Small businesses create a lot of jobs, but large businesses create a lot of jobs too," he said.
Schmitt also questioned whether the credit might prove inefficient -- small businesses that planned on hiring anyway could still reap the benefits of the credit.
"In any kind of context like this, you want to spend money on changing people's behavior. You don't want to give money to people for things that they were going to do anyway."
The same is true, he said, for ending capital gains taxes for small businesses, which is meant to increase their investment in equipment and other capital expenditures.
Even without the elimination of capital gain taxes, "how many of these people would have made those investments anyway?" he asked.
Whether they're for businesses large or small, incentives to get businesses to buy more equipment and the like benefits the economy because it may encourage suppliers to increase their payrolls to keep up with rising demand, supporters say.
While "it's not directly impacting the labor market, stronger demand for investment leads to strong hiring down the road," Faucher said.
But, once again, it may not be the most efficient way to encourage hiring -- at least not in the U.S. That's because so much of the manufactured products purchased by U.S. companies are made abroad.
"A lot of that money will not go to job creation here in the U.S.," said Schmitt. "A lot of it may go overseas."
The House's jobs bill includes $48.3 billion for infrastructure investments, including $2 billion for renewable energy and electricity projects.
In his speech yesterday, Obama touted a new high-speed railroad system -- funded by the administration's $787 billion stimulus program last year -- that is breaking ground today in Tampa, Fla.
"There are projects like that all across this country that will create jobs and help our nation move goods, services and information," he said.
The usual critique of infrastructure investments -- both those funded by last year's stimulus and those proposed in Washington now -- is that they take a while to come to fruition.
Faucher said that, given the state of today's economy, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Some have predicted, after all, that the U.S. unemployment rate will hover around 10 percent for the next two years.
"Even if it takes a while for these projects to get going, they're still going to have a positive impact on labor market once they do start up," he said.
He's less optimistic, however, about job creation by the clean energy sector.
"It's such a small part of the economy," he said. "Maybe they think it polls well, but in terms of actual substantive job growth it's a drop in the bucket."
The advent of foreign outsourcing has long been a thorn in the side of U.S. labor advocates, particularly those who've watched the U.S. manufacturing sector shrink to a shell of its former self.
Business advocates, meanwhile, argue that cheaper labor costs overseas allow them to be more competitive in a global market.
So would tax incentives to level the playing field between U.S.'s more expensive labor costs and those of, say, China?
University of Maryland economist Peter Morici says no.

1993 GMC Jimmy Problems
The Anti-lock brake system (ABS) control unit may fail internally causing the ABS warning light to illuminate.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
The heater core under the right side of the dashboard may leak engine coolant which can puddle on the passenger front floor. The loss of coolant may cause an engine overheating condition. Our technicians tell us that removal of the dash board is necessary to replace the heater on these vehicles.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Inspired by the local markets and flavoured with star anise and rosemary. I love using star anise with dark meat as it brings out a deep savoury flavour. Serve on crusty French bread with a few cornichons and green salad on the side.
This blackberry liqueur is lovely served cold and neat or mixed in a cocktail. An interesting and tasty aperitif in keeping with la vie Francaise. I'll definitely be trying it out with some sparking wine or champagne for a blackberry Kir Royale.
Great simply diluted with sparkling or still water, or added to ice tea...and a splash is really rather good in a vodka and tonic too. Perfect for Summer days and relaxing in the garden.
As part of the Charcutepalooza prize, I spent a day learning butchery and charcuterie with the Chaploards in Gascony.
