All food businesses, whether private or public sector and whether profit or non-profit making that carry out any stage of production, processing and distribution
of food.
Food business operators have a legal responsibility to ensure that staff are trained to carry out their duties safely. In order to comply with the law
you need be able to demonstrate that all food handlers have an appropriate level of knowledge of food hygiene. EC Regulation 852 states that all food
handlers must be instructed and/or trained in food hygiene matters commensurate with their work activity.
You must be able to prove that you produce food safely. You can do this by demonstrating that you produce food in accordance with HACCP principles. You
must also register your premises with your local environmental health department.

"Fee war" or not, there's no denying big exchange-traded fund companies compete on cost. The rivalries are extending beyond management fees to include brokerage commissions and, more recently, the cost of index licensing. The last was near the top of the agenda at Index Universe's Inside ETFs conference, the biggest ETF event of the year, held last week in Hollywood, Fla.
Mark Wiedman, head of iShares, the largest ETF sponsor, told conference-goers that the company is reviewing its indexing contracts, a not-so-subtle shot across the industry's bow. The assertion that iShares' $591 billion in assets is nobody's cash cow follows Vanguard Group's shift of more than half a trillion dollars of mutual-fund and ETF assets away from well-known MSCI MSCI -0.30541713550876065% MSCI Inc.

So, yes, the fee wars have become indexing wars.
For investors, the new rivalries bring trade-offs that don't come into play when ETFs simply lower their management fees. In this case, fund companies are seizing opportunities that arise from hotter competition in the indexing business. Besides the ascendant FTSE Group, there are players such as Nasdaq OMX NDAQ 0.8622459453910901% NASDAQ OMX Group Inc.

Nasdaq's recent moves include launching thousands of new global benchmarks and buying a family of dividend-themed indexes. "We're already an MSCI competitor," Nasdaq OMX Group's John Jacobs told Barron's at the conference.
Fund companies have simply realized there are more indexing options to consider, and they want investors to adapt.
Take Vanguard's shift to FTSE Group and University of Chicago indexes. While the company predicts the move could save hundreds of millions of dollars over time, investors are right to focus on what it means for their investments today.

"We weren't thrilled with Vanguard's decision to leave MSCI and move to FTSE," Larry Whistler, president of Nottingham Advisors, said at one of the week's discussion panels.
A buy-and-hold alternative getting more attention lately is the four-month-old iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets IEMG 0.3949282893369362% iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 48.3 0.19 0.3949282893369362% /Date(1435870800137-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1514793 AFTER HOURS 48.296 -0.00399999999999778 -0.008281573498964804% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.8570186335403727% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (IEMG).

BROKERAGES' COMMISSION-free ETF trading, which may seem a more clear-cut win for investors, also involves trade-offs. The driver is the increasingly intricate set of alliances between fund sponsors and brokerages.

In Focus: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
May 19, 2015 | PERMALINK »
Addressing Time Limits in SNAP: What We Are Learning
By Helly Lee
SNAP is a critical nutritional support for many low-income people. But working age adults without children are subject to a time limit on receiving SNAP benefits of just three months during any 36-month period unless they are working or participating in a qualifying work activity at least 20 hours a week. The time limit applies to recipients who:
- Are 18-49 years of old;
- Do not have a documented disability;
- Are not raising or residing in a household with minor children; and
- Are not working or participating in a qualifying activity for at least 20 hours per week.
Because of these rules, people subject to the time limit are sometimes referred to as "able-bodied adults without dependents" or "ABAWDS."
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) has estimated that nearly 1 million people will be cut off of SNAP in 2016 due to this time limit. States have long had the ability to waive this time limit in areas where there are high unemployment rates or other indicators of lack of jobs. In the Great Recession, nearly all states received statewide waivers of the time limits due to high unemployment. As unemployment rates decrease, however, the statewide waivers are going away and bringing back the time limit in many places.
The time limit applies regardless of an individual's efforts in seeking employment or if they are employed for less than 20 hours per week. Individuals subject to the time limit are an especially vulnerable population that typically does not qualify for cash benefits, so the loss of food assistance through SNAP has a significant impact on their lives. CBPP reports that those affected are extremely poor. Over 80 percent of individuals subject to the time limit live in households with income below half of the poverty line.
While ABAWD individuals are required to be employed or in qualified work or training activities for 20 or more hours per week in order to maintain their SNAP benefits, states are not required to offer individuals the opportunity to participate in such an activity, and most states do not do so. One place that committed to doing so is Franklin County (Columbus), Ohio, where the SNAP agency entered into an innovative partnership with the Ohio Association of Foodbanks to offer recipients subject to the time limit an opportunity to participate in qualifying work and training activities through a pilot called the Work Experience Program (WEP). While the program is only in one county, it is the only effort in the state to help individuals who face the time limit on SNAP and is an innovative example that highlights the need to strengthen efforts to better serve this population. The program placed individuals in volunteer roles at local nonprofits, workforce development partners and faith-based organizations to gain work experience.
As part of this pilot, the Ohio Association of Foodbanks conducted a comprehensive assessment of the individuals participating in the pilot. The assessment revealed that many participants experienced barriers that made it difficult to secure jobs such as undiagnosed mental and physical disabilities; inadequate access to transportation to get to and from work; and criminal histories. They found that even though participants were identified as "able bodied adults without dependents" 32.6 percent of their clients self-reported a physical or mental health limitation that makes them unable to work. In addition, 13 percent indicated that they were caregivers for a parent, relative or friend.
Individuals also experienced educational barriers. Of those surveyed, 30.1 percent indicated that they didn't have a high school diploma or GED, limiting their prospects to jobs that are often low-paying. Of the 67.8 percent who had graduated from high school or obtained a GED, 36.7 percent had attended college; however, a small portion of those (9.5 percent) graduated from college with a degree.
The assessment also found that transportation barriers were a major obstacle to an individual's job prospects and ability to maintain employment. While a monthly travel stipend was provided from their county case worker, many reported not having received the stipend, or that the stipend was insufficient, especially in situations where individuals did not have bank accounts and cashing the travel check resulted in a service fee deduction.
For individuals with a history of involvement in the criminal justice system, the barriers were further compounded. Over 34 percent of those surveyed had previous felony convictions, and 10.4 percent were on probation or parole. For individuals with a history of a previous conviction, the stigma can last indefinitely-- even if they have been law-abiding in recent years--and can have a profound impact on an individual's ability to obtain a job.
This snapshot of individuals subject to the time limit in Franklin County, while not nationally representative, provides evidence of the numerous barriers that individuals face and the needs that remain to strengthen resources for this population. There is an urgent need to strengthen employment and training programs and supports to better serve this population. SNAP is a critical support for individuals, and the time limit on benefits for childless workers puts millions at risk of losing access to needed nutrition assistance. While states can obtain federal SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) funding to provide support for those subject to the time limit, the dedicated funding isn't sufficient for providing the necessary services that many individuals subject to the time limit need in order to succeed in employment, let alone serve as a resource for all eligible SNAP participants. However, states can draw down additional federal funding for SNAP E&T if they are able to spend non-federal funds. It is critical that advocates and others concerned about supporting poor and low-income people gather stakeholder investment, support and resources from partner non-profit organizations, the state agency and through public and private partnerships to create and strengthen E&T programs. It is challenging to both expand the reach of E&T programs and to make them more effective, but both are needed.

Listen to the Evidence: Protect SNAP
By Randi Hall
In a recent hearing on the use of evidence to guide federal investments in social policy held by the Subcommittee on Human Resources in the House Committee on Ways and Means, a witness invited by the Republican majority, John Bridgeland, CEO of Civic Enterprises, highlighted the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as a program with a strong backing in evidence. Bridgeland cited a 2014 longitudinal study of SNAP that illustrates the program helps to "[address] severe malnutrition and alleviate hunger," while also increasing employment rates and reducing welfare receipt of poor mothers.
In spite of the strong evidence of the effectiveness of SNAP benefits, the U.S. House and Senate Republican leadership have outlined FY2016 budget proposals that would slash SNAP and steeply cut the social safety net for millions of low-income children and families. In particular, the House budget would convert the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) into a block grant and cut $125 billion from the program between 2021 and 2025.Turning SNAP into a block grant would mean that states receive a set amount of allocated funding for the program, which would dismantle the program's current ability to expand during an economic decline to serve the growing needs of families as it did in the recent recession, and then retract as the economy recovers.
As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities explains, the House budget's cuts would come on top of recent and upcoming reductions that families and individuals are already experiencing. The 2014 Farm Bill cut SNAP spending by an estimated $8.6 billion over a decade. In addition, over a million unemployed workers are projected to lose benefits in 2016 due to SNAP time limits.
If Congress agrees once again to cut SNAP spending it could undermine the economic recovery for millions of low-income households. The Congressional Budget Office has conducted analyses of the effects of cutting SNAP spending by 15%, or $77 billion, in 2016. CBO examined the economic impacts on low-income households of three possible strategies to achieve this reduction:
- Reduce the maximum SNAP benefit by 13 percent for all participants. This would hurt households with incomes below $15,000 the most, decreasing their total annual income by 4 percent.
- Increase the benefit phase-out rate from 30 to 49 percent. If the benefit phase-out rate were raised, SNAP benefits for households earning between $25,000 and $32,000 would fall by almost $1,200 a year.
- Reduce the monthly income limit for eligibility from 130 to 67 percent of the federal poverty line. This change would affect households making between $15,000 and $25,000 the hardest, reducing their annual SNAP benefits by nearly 40 percent.
According to U.S. Census data, SNAP lifted as many as 3.7 million people out of poverty in 2013. Shrinking SNAP benefits would affect the country's most vulnerable populations and would increase food insecurity among poor children. Congress should listen to John Bridgeland, listen to the evidence, and preserve this highly effective program.

FNS Announces SNAP E&T Pilots in 10 States
By Randi Hall and Helly Lee
Last year's Farm Bill provided $200 million for pilots under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) program. While at least one person is employed in over half of all SNAP households with a working-age, non-disabled adult, these pilots will test whether SNAP E&T could more effectively connect unemployed and underemployed recipients to work. The goal is to help participants develop the skills they need to secure good jobs that provide economic security and reduce participation in SNAP.
Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Nutrition Service (FNS) announced the 10 states selected for funding. The selected pilots include a mix of mandatory and voluntary E&T programs, many of which also include career pathway models. Several of the pilots target individuals who face significant barriers to employment, including homeless adults, the long-term unemployed, individuals in the correctional system, and individuals with substance addiction illness. Each pilot involves multiple partners (such as workforce boards, community colleges, adult education providers, community-based organizations, and local employers) to connect workers to resources and services already available in the community.
|U.S. Secretary of Labor Tom Perez tweeted about his visit to Gwinnett Technical College to highlight how grants will help SNAP recipients secure good jobs and move off assistance.
In California, the Fresno Department of Social Services will use its pilot funding to expand the Fresno Bridge Academy, a workforce development program of Reading and Beyond that helps unemployed and underemployed adults obtain jobs or become job ready. Over the course of 18 months, the Fresno Bridge Academy helps participants develop employment and training goals, as well as access job training programs and employment. For those who are already employed, the program helps them find better jobs, earn more in their current jobs, or learn new skills necessary for promotion. The Fresno Bridge Academy also partners with adult schools and city colleges to provide additional training and certifications for program participants.
Through the pilot, the Fresno Bridge Academy will strengthen their existing services, in providing education, job training, support services, subsidized and unsubsidized employment, retention services, ongoing case management, and financial incentives for SNAP E&T participants. The program is unique for its multi-generational approach, which helps parents obtain jobs skills and employment while providing services that help their children excel in school and access community resources.
The SNAP E&T pilots will be evaluated by MDRC and Mathematica, which will measure the impact of each initiative and inform future policymaking. In the announcement of the pilots, Undersecretary Concannon also emphasized that USDA will be working with all states to strengthen their core SNAP E&T programs and build in best practices from the workforce development system. While these pilots provide full federal funding for the selected states, other states willing to invest non-federal funds can draw down 50 percent reimbursement to strengthen their E&T services.

I'm not the hippopotamus I think I am when I'm comparing myself to Blake Lively.
1560s, from Late Latin hippopotamus, from Greek hippopotamus "riverhorse" (earlier ho hippos ho potamios "the horse of the river"), from hippos "horse" (see equine) + potamos "river, rushing water" (see potamo-). Replaced Middle English ypotame (c.1300), which is from the same source but via Old French. Glossed in Old English as sæhengest.

I'm concerned about reliability and where to get service, Also, how are the lenses? Yhanks, Chip
I can't say anything about servicing because may camera has never needed it, but the lenses are top quality. You are probably thinking about comparisons with the Big 'H' brand, but having used both I can't say I find an awful lot of difference in the results.
I've got an SQ-A with 50, 80 and 150mm lenses, and can't say that I have any complaints about their images. OK, sometimes I think the Zeiss Planar on the 500C/M has a bit more depth to the image, but really, for the most part the Bronica lenses are just fine. And I do like the handling with the Action Grip or whatever it is called, with the thumb wind for the film advance -- the grip make the camera easier to hold steady, especially when it's glued to your eye. I can recommend the cameras.
This is a great camera system. As someone mentioned, the grip is fantastic and Hassy offers nothing like it. Lenses are good too, the 80mm is a fantastic lens. Don't be concerned about comparability to Hassy lenses, the SQ lenses are so close you may only notice a difference if you shot into the sun, or shot wide open etc. If you want super sharp lenses in MF you go with a rangefinder anyway. You can't go wrong with the SQ if you don't mind an SLR.
My SQa is my daily driver. I have the standard 80 and a 50, which is the lens I use most often. I get tack sharp images. I use Fuji Acros and Provia 100 films. Get a couple extra 120 film backs, but don't bother with the 22 film backs, they don't advance properly with 129 film. Enjoy!
I used to own an S2a and the EC. The earlier Bronica cameras used a focal plane shutter. With the SQ, Bronica copied the Hasselblad and used leaf shutter lenses.
The fit and finish of the Bronica isn't quite as nice as the Blad but is a lot less expensive. The lenses are comparable in real life shooting. If you saw a bunch of 11x14's mixed on a table made with the Bronica and the Blad, you wouldn't know what was shot with which camera. The only negative that I have ever heard about them is that the film backs are the weak part of the system as far as reliability. Now you need to understand that I read this on the internet and I don't really know how true this is. Of course as cheap as they are, you can afford to replace the film backs if they wear out.
Koh's Camera in New York are the experts in Bronica cameras. In my experience, Jimmy Koh is a great guy to deal with. If you have any technical questions you can contact them.
Second the comment about Jimmy Koh. A super person and a fine Bronica Technician. He will tell you what he's got; what shape it's in; how much and so on and its fair. Good outfit. I trust them.
I think the merits of the Bronica SQ are greatly exaggerated. The 80mm PS lens is superb in B&W but every other lens I found lackluster, especially for color photography. The color rendition looks very dated to me, similar to what cheap off-brand DSLR lenses look like today. The 180mm PS lens was the second best among the ones I tested (PS50, PS65, PS80, S105, PS150, PS180, PS250) but other than those two, I would certainly rather go for a Mamiya C or Bronica S instead, if you need to stay in the same price range.
The older Bronica S has a fantastic lineup in the Nikkor OC 50mm f2.8, Zenzanon 100mm f2.8 and Zenzanon MC 150mm f3.5. If you need the higher speed sync of leaf shutter lenses, I'd suggest going for Hassy and be done with it.

Practice autorotations cause a huge number of accidents during helicopter pilot training, and lots of helicopters are written off like this.
How not to bust your helicopter
By Stuart Clarke on 23 July, 2013 in Uncategorised
Low-cost simulation will, hopefully, reduce the rate of occurrence, but while we're waiting for the industry to wise-up to this, the International Helicopter Safety Team has issued a reminder about how to carry out practice forced landings, combined with a reminder about how to handle the day it happens for real.
There's so much to think about and so little time. So do some thinking now and save yourself an embarrassing, expensive and unnecessary crunch. Everyone needs a refresher.

Autorotation mishaps were happening 55 years ago .I was spending time in the Westland Aircraft Helicopter Training School as part of my Apprenticeship . We had two Brazilian Navy Pilots under training on the School`s Westland Widgeon . It`s hard to believe now but in 1958 it was possible to be given a flight . One was flambouyant and the other very steady . One day we found out why the Foreman would only let the steady one take us up .A nose high landing had reduced the tail rotor to splintered matchwood . But you should have seen the Chief Test Pilot`s autorotational landings on the big tubed Westland Westminster , they were impressive !

Game one is upon us. In just eight short hours the Cincinnati Reds and San Fransisco Giants will clash on the field of AT&T Park in pursuit of the National League's slot in the Fall Classic. The Reds, despite having the better overall record between the two teams, are forced to start the series playing two games away and coming home for the remainder of the series. This 2-3 format has been the topic of great debate and the platform for some epic Bud Selig bashing (which is always fun in Cincy, what with the whole Pete Rose thing and all.) I, however, don't really mind the format. If a team is going to make any serious noise in the playoffs they are going to have to win on the road. Period.
Rewind the clock to 2010. The Giants are World Series champs and the Reds were post-season chumps after being swept by Philly in the NLDS. That being said, both of these teams are much different. Primarily the Reds, acquiring Ryan Ludwick and Matt Latos in the off-season (don't even get me started on Ryan Madson) and "beefing up" the bullpen by signing Royals closer (and possibly my twin) Jonathan Broxton  at the trade deadline. Combine that with the maturation of Homer Bailey and Aroldis Chapman along with the emergence of rookies Todd Frazier and Zack Cozart and I think it's fair to say, "These ain't your 2010 Reds." The Giants are different too but look that up on your own time, this is about the REDS! (Hint…Google Brian Wilson. No, not the singer)
Giant's game one starting pitcher Matt Cain is 0-2 against the Reds this season but has not allowed a single earned run in his 21 1/3 postseason innings pitched. Johnny Cueto likes pitching in San Fransisco and appears to have overcome that three loss skid down the stretch (which surely cost him any chance of winning a Cy Young Award.) Should be quite the pitching duel. No advantage to either starter, both are staff aces. Game two will be Bronson Arroyo vs. Madison Bumgarner. Advantage Bumgarner. I expect a solid outing from Arroyo but submit the edge to the Giants in game two. Game three is Matt Latos vs. either Tim Lincecum or Ryan Vogelsong. Giants skipper Bruce Bochy has not set his rotation beyond game two. Regardless of who Bochy starts I give the edge to Latos, especially at home within the friendly confines of Great American Ball Park. CBS Sports ranks the Reds at no. 1 among the NLDS starting rotations. Giants are third. The two starting rotations are pretty similar but the Reds have a much stronger bullpen. The Giants are better at manufacturing runs but the Reds are no slouch at the plate either.
I think these two teams see each other when they look into their mirrors. Very similar clubs. Giants lose their hottest bat and ALL-Star Game MVP Melky Cabrera who was suspended 50 games for juicing (and should be suspended from the gene pool after that internet stunt) yet somehow continued to find ways to win. The main storyline of this Reds season has been their ability to win despite a 48 game absence of super slugger Joey Votto. Reds skipper Dusty Baker said that this 2012 Reds team reminds him of the 2002 Giants team that he managed when he took them to the World Series. He was referring to, among other things, team chemistry. On the all time list of most wins among active managers Dusty is two and Bochy is three. This series could go either way but I think Cincinnati's (and baseball's best) bullpen gives them the edge and the series win.
Attention Everyone! Drew Stubbs will be appearing in centerfield tonight and tomorrow. Please make a note of it…and RELAX. I know he can't hit anything, ever, but the centerfield at AT&T Park is, like, ginormous and his wheels are a must for defense. Also, since the Reds don't hit much there, expect uber agressive base running. Stubbs is the right choice. Agreed? K? Now that we've settled that…
I'm most interested is watching the play of Joey Votto. Has has yet to hit a homerun since being reactivated on September 4th (knee) and went 1-9 in October leading up to today. If I know anything about Votto it's that he is very analytical and intensely systematic with his approach to everything. Joey admitted that he will not be 100 percent until next season. With that knowledge he has turned every plate appearance since his return into an experiment, test driving that power leg from every angle. He has been "tinkering" with the competetion since coming back. The experiments are over. The data has been analyzed. After an experiment, I want results. I expect plenty of results from Votto as the Reds embark on another postseason mission.
The stage is set. Enjoy the show…

If you don't like it, don't buy it.
Have you got the game mixed up with one of its many clones perhaps? This one was never for sale.
Hell, if any of us could make the kind of money he was supposedly making, 99.9% of us would jump at the chance.
Definitely, I would. I'd also not pull the game spouting some BS reason like I got stressed from getting rich (even though the money kept rolling in), or that I want to "save" people because the game is so addictive (supposedly, can't understand that either).

Centerpiece of its own federal wilderness area, Diamond Peak rises to 8744 feet with several smaller peaks popping up along its couple mile-long crest. Good forest roads give access to the area from several directions and there are many lakes to be found along the slopes of the mountain in most directions. Most people see Diamond Peak from along OR 58 near the gorgeous blue waters of Odell Lake. As one of the Cascades' major volcanic peaks, Diamond Peak is certainly one of the easiest to climb - a slog off the Pacific Crest Trail. The mountain is not as well-know as many of the other Cascade peaks, so you can certainly find solitude here. Easiest access from Oakridge is via either Forest Highway 23, which gives you a way to get into the Mt Yoran/Notch Lake/Vivian Lake area of the northwest section of the wilderness area, or Forest Highway 21, with which you can get to Summit Lake or Timpanogas Lake, both on the south side just outside of the official wilderness boundary. Both highways branch off of OR 58 just east of Oakridge - follow the sign to Hills Creek Dam. The two forest highways then split about a half mile farther along before the dam - Road 21 and 23 then follow different banks of the large reservoir en route to wilderness glories.

Found on the north end of the long Diamond Peak crest, Mt Yoran and the unnamed volcanic plug just to its south - which is actually higher by 38 feet; lets call it Corgi Peak, just for the heck of it - represent a kind of final fling for the lava vents found on Diamond. Yoran is an impressive lava plug that blasts high above some gorgeous little alpine lakes found on its south side. There is a trail in which is only about four miles in from Forest Road 23. The trail only gains about 1400 feet and does so in an easy enough fashion. For the most part, the way is a walk in the woods, but you do pass the pretty little Notch Lake at about one mile and there are some pretty views of Diamond Peak along the latter part of the trail before you reach Mt Yoran. If climbing is your bag, Mt Yoran, I have seen the mountain rated as a class 4 peak, and many of its sides do earn that rating, but having seen the main route - a gully on the southeast side rising directly above Divide Lake - and watching climbers going up, I would put that route at more of a class 3 - which is still a worthy and airy afternoon's proposition.

For hikers and backpackers, Divide Lake on the Mt Yoran trail makes an admirable destination. The waters are crystal clear and green, reflecting the green of the surrounding forests. Mt Yoran and the other volcanic plug, Corgi Peak, rise dramatically above the little lake. There are other small alpine tarns to be found just south of Divide Lake and around all can be found flat unimproved areas where you can pitch your room for the night. The Mt Yoran trail continues for another 0.8 miles beyond Divide Lake over a small pass to connect with the Pacific Crest trail just over on the east side of the crest.
For all of Diamond Peak's obscurity and exclusivity, Divide Lake and Mt Yoran are probably among the best-known features of the Wilderness Area. Weekends will find the small trailhead parking area full and more than one tent set up beneath the high lava crags of Yoran.

The Pacific Crest trail extends from the Mexican border to the Canadian border, through California, Oregon and Washington. The trail takes you to some amazing natural wonders. The trail, in its entirety, is a serious undertaking taking you from March-April through September to finish. A few thousand people normally can be found undertaking the Appalachian Trail each year. That number is considerably smaller for the PCT, due to the much more uncompromising nature of the trail. To enjoy the PCT and its wonders, you don't have to be one of the compulsive few who aspire to walk its every mile. You can be like me and the mountain corgi and cherry pick the highlights. In Oregon, the best part of the PCT, IMHO, is the stretch running from the south side of the South Sister, near Sisters Mirror Lake - best accessed from Devils Lake on the Century Highway near the ski area of Mt Bachelor - north along the west side of the Three Sisters; then through the amazing lava fields of McKenzie Pass, the base of Mt Washington and Three Finger Jack and along a long crest with other smaller volcanic cones; then the base of Mt Jefferson ending up in the amazing Jefferson Park area on the northwest side;finally the grand scene over the park and Mt Jefferson from atop Park Ridge and the short pull into the wonders of the Olallie Lake region.
There are other magical areas to be found within the Oregon sections of the PCT, for sure - the west side of Mt Hood and the walk from Wahtum Lake onto Benson Plateau high above the Columbia River, for example. Here, in the Diamond Peak Wilderness area, the PCT takes you up close and personal to Diamond Peak itself. The trail skirts high around the mountain on its east side rising to almost 7000 feet as it rounds an eastern extrusion of the mountain. Walking on this section of the PCT can give you a keen sense of solitude and long reaching vistas to the north, east and south. A day hike can sometimes, with its magic lead you to thoughts or wanders of more mammoth propositions.

Stop at Salt Creek Falls
The average yearly flow is approximately 50,000 gallons per minute. That is enough water to supply the needs of nearby Eugene and Springfield, Oregon. The peak water flow would be... twice that. The average flow develops approximately 910 horsepower, or enough kilowatts to meet the electrical needs of 365 households. It takes water at the interior of the water column about 4 seconds to fall the 286 to the base of the falls. The force of the water hitting at the base is the same as two full-size cars crashing onto the ground at 46 miles per hour, every second... forever. I got these "falls facts" off a sign at the Salt Creek Falls lookout.

Lookout at Salt Creek Falls
Salt Creek Falls are the second tallest in Oregon. The falls are about 60 feet wide and fall 286 feet.
There is a nice and mostly accessible viewing area for people to walk to. If a person was in a wheelchair, the going isn't necessarily easy. As you can see, in April you are apt to find snow, and the path to the viewing area wasn't free of snow.
The parking lot is close to the Sno-Park, and until April 30th you are still supposed to have a parking pass. Actually, this is a fee area anytime.

Salt Creek Falls
At 286 feet, Salt Creek Falls is the second highest waterfall in Oregon. And with an average yearly flow of 50,000 gallon per minute, it's the most powerful waterfall in southern Oregon. Located in the Middle Fork Ranger District of Willamette National Forest, the observation site for the waterfall is located just off OR-58 about 23 miles southwest of Oakridge. The Forest Service charges a $5 day use fee per vehicle to park at the observation site, payable at self-service kiosks. There are restrooms with flush toilets, picnic tables, and a paved trail to the viewing platform for the waterfall. There is also an unpaved trail leading to the base of the waterfall, but we didn't have a chance to go down there and check it out. There are also several longer trails that start here, including Diamond Creek Falls Trail, leading to its namesake waterfall, and Vivian Lake Trail, which leads into Diamond Peak Wilderness.

I didn't do that because the trail was still snowy and muddy and well... I didn't have hiking boots. So, if you'd like to, perhaps plan ahead.

Give raw milk a chanceMay 04,2014Provided Photo
Lindsay Harris, shown with Eric Reiss, founded Family Cow Farmstand in Hinesburg, a micro-dairy that produces raw milk. She no longer operates Family Cow and now farms in Tunbridge, but she is an advocate for the fair regulation of Vermonts micro-dairies.As the Vermont Legislature considers S.70, a bill that would allow the delivery of raw (unpasteurized) milk to farmers markets, there has been a spirited discussion on the value of raw milk sales as part of Vermonts agricultural economy.
As the founder and former operator of Family Cow Farmstand, a raw milk micro-dairy in Hinesburg, Id like to share a farmers perspective.
We Vermonters are blessed to have an abundance of local foods; however we are at a crossroads in building a local food system that is truly sustainable. Raw dairy production can be a part of the solution, if Vermont has the courage to move forward and not stay stuck retelling a story that dates to the late 19th century and early 20th century.
Raw milk and raw dairy products have sustained many cultures across the globe for thousands of years. Raw milk in its various forms is mentioned in the Bible more than 50 times. Pasteurization is a recently developed technique only becoming a widespread practice within the last 60 years. Despite this, we often hear how pasteurization is essential for food safety. This disparity has everything to do with modern production methods.
In the early 1900s the rise of industrial milk production was the cause of a terrible public health crisis. Confinement dairies started popping up next to whiskey refineries so the waste grain mash, called swill, could be force-fed to cows, producing low-cost milk for poor city dwellers who no longer had access to fresh milk from farms. These early industrial dairies were terrible places where both the cows and the workers were filthy and often sick. Illness spread to people who drank the raw swill milk and something had to be done.
Instead of requiring that cows be healthy and milked on small, clean farms, regulators allowed low-cost, low-quality swill milk to remain on the market, and required that it be cooked (pasteurized) before sale so it wouldnt spread infectious disease. For a long time there were two milks in America: certified raw milk that came from clean rural farms, and low-cost, cooked swill milk produced in the cities. With the gradual industrialization of most dairy production, milk became a commodity and pasteurization became the norm and the law.
Dairy regulation has come a long way since then, but it still allows for: large, confinement housing systems; feeding cows with concentrates, industrial food wastes and GMOs; commingled milk from many thousands of cows; regular use of hormones and antibiotics; and milk from unhealthy cows to enter the food supply.
The feasibility of industrial milk production depends on pasteurization. But there is another way to farm where pasteurization has never been necessary. It is the way humans have been successfully raising dairy animals for many thousands of years, in small herds fed on grass.
Cows with a grass-based diet are much less likely to harbor pathogens. A recent University of Vermont study tested more than a hundred milk samples from 30 small-scale, Vermont farms. The results consistently showed outstanding milk quality and zero pathogenic cells in any of the samples. Recent data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control show a person is many times more likely to get sick from consuming seafood, chicken, beef, spinach and many other common perishable foods than from drinking raw milk. Furthermore, recent studies show significant health benefits to drinking milk that has not been pasteurized.
Current regulations surrounding raw milk production and sale in Vermont reflect a fear and bias that are not supported by scientific evidence. This fear and bias are evident in the Vermont dairy industrys vehement opposition to allowing sales of high-quality raw milk from small farms. Currently, Vermonts raw milk producers are held to a higher standard of testing and inspection than conventional dairies and they are unfairly restricted from selling their product even when they meet these regulations. Lets follow other states lead in allowing farmers who produce excellent, high-quality food to sell it and return control over food choices to informed consumers.
Please contact Gov. Peter Shumlin and ask him to support greater economic opportunity for raw dairy farmers by signing S.70, and by directing his Agency of Agriculture to develop policies that encourage and support the development of micro-dairies and regulate them fairly.

Contemporary culture is as much visual as literary. This book explores an approach to the communicative power of the pictorial and multimodal documents that make up this visual culture, using Peircean semiotics. It develops the enormous theoretical potential of Peirce's theory of signs of signs (semiotics) and the persuasive strategies in which they are employed (visual rhetoric) in a variety of documents.
Unlike presentations of semiotics that take the written word… (more)

Re: Frontlines: Fuel of War
Alright, here we go... pics! I have the game on highest settings possible in all areas except shadows and foliage. There is no AA option in the game and the pics thus look quite jaggy, even at 1680x1050 resolution. There is possibly a way to force AA but I had such a pain of a time starting the game I'd rather not mess it up right now fiddling with that.
First level, an oil refinery in a desert... good draw-distance and some nice textures... most of the missions involved clearing enemies from control points, like king of the hill:
These are from level two, a village on the edge of a military base. Draw-distance is not as good in this level, even though I have it on max the fog is much closer... also, the fog leaves weird outlines around distant objects sometimes, as you might see in these pics. Hopefully a mod/patch will eliminate or extend the fog further at some point:
This one shows two things, first, a normal objective like planting a charge on an AA gun... second, how bad some of the textures can be up close. Other textures can be surprisingly awesome looking though, so don't be too turned off:
Lastly, pics of the coolest weapons in the game, the mini-vehicles. The first two are the mini-chopper, thrown like a grenade and then piloted by you... it shoots rockets! Haha.. Second is the little exploding buggy which you drive around, then detonate... that tank is seconds from destruction:
All in all I am not sure the pics do the game justice, it looks pretty good in motion... Crysis good? Hahahahaha... no. But it looks good, and with everything maxed except shadows and foliage I got 50-60fps on average with an 8800GT. I think with AA forced on and that fog extended it could actually be a real looker...

What is a reverse mortgage?
HECM stands for home equity conversion mortgage. Reverse mortgages allow for seniors to release a portion of the home's equity to eliminate any existing mortgage payments or to receive the cash that is currently locked in the home's equity without having to sell the home. HECM's are unique in that there are no monthly mortgage payments required to pay; to find out more click this link how it works.
What a reverse mortgage is NOT?
It is very important for seniors to realize that the HECM reverse mortgage is not the perfect solution for all, and that there times when it should be avoided. Here are some instances or scenarios for which the reverse mortgage should not be taken out.
- Shorter time period than 5 years. If you are thinking about taking out a HECM for short term needs there may be cheaper options such as a home equity line of credit. Those who want to avoid payments for the 5 years should do research on home price appreciation to make sure that the area has a decent appreciation to offset any lending costs.
- Spouse is not listed on the title. Avoid doing a reverse mortgage when the spouse is under 62 years of age and or not on the title. The loan becomes due and payable when the borrower passes away.
- Taking out the funds to invest into a stocks or any investment with risks. If you are comfortable in your retirement and have been approved to take out your home's equity for any investment be very careful to not fall into any scams. Investments can go up but they can also loose all of your initial investment.
- Homes with low value. Please note that the closing costs will be a very high % of your homes current value. Higher value homes the closing costs will be a much smaller percentage of the value and, therefore, not that significant.
- Invest in annuities. Again avoid taking out the equity to invest but specifically into annuities as the HECM loan has a term/tenure payment that is extremely similar to an annuity program but no money has to come out of your pocket.
- Don't need the funds or have other cash available at a lower interest rates. Reverse loans are NOT free money. If you need some short term cash look at tapping into IRA's, CD's, savings before considering a reverse loan option. Take your time in making a decision and figure out how much money you need and how much it will cost you to access that cash.
Do I even qualify for an HECM mortgage?
- At least one borrower must be 62 years of age or older.
- You must own and live in the propery as the primary residence (it's ok to have a mortgage balance).
- Have sufficient equity available (current value of your home subtract any debt/mortgages this is your equity).
- Never have defaulted on government backed loans/debt.
- Can afford to pay for home's taxes/insurance and maintenance.Great. I Qualify but is this the right option for me?
Reverse mortgages are not a fit all solution, they are great for seniors who need to:
- pay off an existing mortgage loan
- to supplement your retirement income
- to pay for medical costs
- for home repairs or improvements
The proceeds from a reverse mortgage can be used as you wish there is no restriction after you receive the funds.
If you are not sure if you will qualify or would like to ask additional questions first, don't hesitate to reach out to one of our knowledgeable agents (the call is toll free 855-999-2293).
or click on the button above to fill out our contact form
Comparison of Benefits vs. the negatives?
|Tax free income (never taxed)
|Funds may be used for any purpose – no restrictions
|May impact Medicaid benefits (not Medicare)
|Own and remain in your home (no need to sell in retirement to get money out of the home)
|Reduces equity to pass on to heirs
|No monthly payments to the lender
|Pay homes taxes/insurance
|Can never owe more than the value of your home at repayment (non-recourse loan)
|Does not affect Social Security or Medicare benefits
|Pays off an existing mortgage, leaving no monthly mortgage payments
|No longer expensive some lenders are waiving origination fees also HECM saver reduces costs
|Receive funds as a lump sum, monthly income payments for life, and/or line of credit
|You can retire in the property for life (even if home values drop significantly)
|No risk of foreclosure
|Your equity now your equity in the future (you keep ownership and decide what to do with your equity)
With a home equity conversion mortgage loan you have flexibility as to how you receive the proceeds. There are 3 different options:
- Lump sum. This option you will receive a lump sum of money upfrony. This amount can be up to 50-70% of the home's appraised value. The interest rates are fixed on the HECM lump sum option.
- Lifetime monthly income. This option will allow you to receive a lifetime source of equal monthly proceeds/income. The rates are adjustable and depend on your age and the available equity in your property.
- Credit line. With this option, the bank/lender qualifies you for a certain amount of money. You have access to this money when you wish and will only pay interest on the portion that you have borrowed. The interest rates are adjustable.
The Answer is YES!
Can I access my equity without making a mortgage payment or selling my home?
I will be able to receive my funds in either a – lump sum, credit line, monthly income?
I wont have any restrictions or taxes on the money I borrow?
Are HECM interest rates still at all time lows? Can I retire and eliminate my current mortgage payment?
Can I use the reverse mortgage loan to pay off other debts?
Can I use the HECM loan to avoid Bankruptcy?
Will I keep ownership of the home (not the bank)?
Will I be able to leave my home to my heirs?
Is it right that my heirs/estate are not held responsible for my mortgage debts?
Is it true that I won't run the risk of foreclosure as long as I pay for property taxes/insurance?
Will I be able to decide whether I want an adjustable or fixed interest rate?
Are there lenders who will not charge me an origination fee or a reduced fee?
Can I avoid high upfront mortgage insurance premium with the HECM Saver?
Can I sell my home or refinance at any time?
Is it true that there are no early pre-payment fees?
I will not loose access to other government benefit such as medicare eligibility – Social Security?
Can I still qualify for the HECM loan without income or good credit scores?
Can I take out more equity in the future if I have equity at that time?
That some double wide mobile homes can qualify?
I can change my mind even after signing the closing documents before 3 days are up?

Skaneateles native Tom Scherrer to play in Upstate Medical University's charity Skins Game June 20
Skaneateles native Tom Scherrer has been added to round out the foursome in the charity Skins Game sponsored by the Upstate Medical University Foundation. Scherrer will join Chi Chi Rodriguez, Gary Player and Horseheads native Joey Sindelar for the tournament at Green Lakes State Park June 20.
"We're delighted that Tom could join this celebrated foursome," said Eileen Pezzi, vice president for development and executive director of the Upstate Medical University Foundation. "His presence provides fans with another opportunity to see one of our local golf greats."
Scherrer replaces Jay Haas, who was unable to commit due to a last minute scheduling conflict. All others have signed contracts to participate in the event.
Scherrer joined the PGA Tour in 1996, earning $136,323 in his rookie season. His best finish on the PGA Tour came that same season when he placed third at the Phoenix Open. His best outing last year was tied for fifth at the Michelob Championship.
Individual tickets for the Skins Game can be purchased at all area P&C Food Stores for a reduced advanced sale price of $25. Tickets will also be available at the Central New York Golfing Center, 310 E. First Street, East Syracuse (next to Rico's Restaurant), and can be charged by phone (VISA or Mastercard) by calling the Upstate Medical University Foundation at (315)464-4416. Tickets purchased the day of the event will be $35.
Proceeds from the event will go to support many fundraising activities of the Upstate Medical University Foundation, which supports patient care, education and research activities of the Upstate Medical University and University Hospital.
For more information on the Skins Game, ticket sales and sponsorship levels, contact the foundation at 315-464-4416.

The crowd filled the American Legion Hall directly behind the utility board offices, where they listened to others and shared stories of their own experiences with the utility.
Local attorney Donice Butler, who organized the event, said she was seeking answers to the many questions and speculations about utility practices.

Warrick Health Dept. plans drive-through flu shot clinic
The Warrick County Health Department will hold its annual drive-through flu shot clinics Oct. 1 in Boonville and Oct. 8. in Newburgh. Shots will be available to those 12 and older for $15 apiece.
"This will be our fourth year," said Sharon James, Nursing Supervisor for the Warrick County Health Department. "Obviously, it gets the flu shots done in a timely manner and it cuts down on our expenses of traveling to do other clinics. Plus, people like it. We have people ask us about it because they say it is convenient for them."
The clinic on Oct. 1 will be held at the Warrick County Industrial Park, just west of Boonville and across Indiana 62 from the Boonville Walmart store. In the past, the clinic had been held at Walmart, but a conflict necessitated a switch last year.
"We were at Boonville Middle School last year, but that got a little messy because of other school activities that were going on," said James. "So we thought since the industrial park is out by Walmart and everybody goes out that way, hopefully they will see the signs and that will be our Boonville location for the foreseeable future."
On Oct. 8, the clinic will be at the Apple Center at the intersection of highways 66 and 261 north of Newburgh. Both clinics will run from 10 a.m. until noon.
"You do have to bring a check or cash," said James. "We don't have the ability to bill for medicare or insurance. We'll do shots for those as young as 12 if they can sit still for the shot, but that is kind of counterproductive because anyone under 18 can get a flu shot in the health department for free."
With flu vaccine now available at many local pharmacies and doctors' offices, the health department expects to see slightly lower demand than in past years.
"Last year we didn't do as well," said James. "In years past, we did upwards of 1,000 vaccinations. Last year, we probably didn't even give 800. I think two years ago people were really primed for this, because of the H1N1 scare. They went ahead and got the seasonal flu shot, too. But we didn't do as many last year."
This year, the Warrick County Health Department only ordered 1,000 doses of the vaccine, and could cut that even further if demand continues to decrease. However, there are no plans to discontinue the drive-through clinics, because officials also use it as disaster training.
"It is a way for us to practice our preparedness plan," said James. "We use our medical reserve corps team as volunteers, and it is good all-around practice for a number of preparedness issues."

Nobi is nobi my best sushi in toms river I'm the one who love the nobi Because food and so good and everyone who work here is very nice !
Tried Nobi for 1st time last night. Their 50% off Anniversary banner lured us in. Don't be fooled by that. The 50% deal is only offered on a small, select group of rolls. We ordered nothing but 5 different specialty tuna and salmon sushi rolls with a total cost of $58. We ordered no drinks, brought our own wine. When...
I been to many Japanese sushi place last night I went to nobi and I had the BEST roll in the NJ the fire horse was SO GOOD !!!!!!!! I ever had that in other place it's better than anyone .
I think finally I find the place I want to go .
Found this spot while looking for a different restaurant. Kind of hidden away but food and service was excellent! Definitely recommend. And it's BYOB
I've been a patron of this fine, small sushi place for over a decade. I love having lucnh there...you can go in, have a 2 roll lunch, soup salad and get a bill for about 10 bucks...(before tips/taxes)-- I've gone for lunch with friends and they had some of the cooked stuff and also loved it.
Feel sorry for them so small and tucked away, we had to patronize them. Went a number of times after that and loved it each time. Staff so appreciative of our patronage. We love them, and their food! Will go back next year for sure, Nobi!
Some area sushi is just schlock. Bleah. Not Nobi! They've been here forever, and there's a reason for that: delicious food! It's small/intimate, but a perfect setting for a nice family meal, or really any meal. Because, and I can't say it enough, the sushi is FABULOUS, and everything else (appetizers and all hot and cold dishes) are great.
Nobi is the best Japanese restaurant I have been to. I am from Short Hills, NJ. I have been to many Japanese restaurants from L.A. to NYC. and Nobi is always great. The staff is always wonderful and friendly. Every single time I have walked into this place I have have had a great experience. The sushi is divine! Perfectly...
I love this place....always has great sushi. Try the Pat Roll. I had it last time I went and now it is my new favorite. Plus it's BYOB!
Sushi is great, always fresh, a bit pricey and service is hit or miss. I like that its a bring your own. White tuna, rolls are good. Need updated easier to use menu

Step 4: Attach to a bamboo pole
A piece of pine 3/4 x 3/4 inch would have worked, too. I just happened to have this piece of bamboo for which I had not other use. Some pine could have been sliced off of the edge of a board.

"I couldn't put this book down, its the 3rd in…"
I couldn't put this book down, its the 3rd in the Butterfield Institute series, but as MJ Rose is a skilful writer its good as a stand alone piece of fiction.
We start with Dr Morgan Snow ,sex therapist and her series of patients. Bob, a patient whose name is even a mystery, is an enigma and has her office swept for listening devices. He admits being addicted to internet porn.
A trainee who performs on the internet to pay for her education and a number of students who she is counselling in regards to their porn website visits.
A performer is murdered in a gory way, with viewers watching. Dr Snow believes along with the detective Noah Jordain (her on/off lover) that the murderer and her patients are linked.
The personal life of Morgan, her ex husband, lover and own teenager make it more real.
Very satisfying thriller I was not sure whodunnit right until the end.Read moreLess
