Gordonton venture pushes local produce
Relevant offers
Good, fresh, honest, local food. It's a mouthful of a slogan, but it's the selling point for new five-days-a-week Gordonton business The Farm Shop.
Farmer's markets and buying locally are the height of popularity in the Waikato but waiting a week, or even a month, for your favourite local markets to roll around again can be frustrating.
The Farm Shop sidesteps that conventional market model to allow growers and manufacturers to sell directly to the general public on a daily basis.
Open Wednesday through Sunday, the new venture gives buyers who can't get to weekend markets access to the same products on the circuits.
Taupiri couple Tanya Clancy and Kevin Clarke, and Gordonton couple Gemma McGarry and Colin Oliver, have invested $20,000 into the shop set-up, building the five-days-a-week platform from scratch.
The shop is Clancy's brainchild.
She and Clarke had been working the markets for about three years, selling eggs and chutneys. It can be tough going, she says.
Constant travel and unpredictable weather wore them down, and they found other market regulars were in the same boat.
"You bang your head against the brick wall going from market to market, paying anything extraordinary - up to $30 or $40 - to get a market stall, not knowing what you are going to sell and if you are going to sell it," Clancy says.
"There's a lot of us out there and really, at the end of the day, you don't know about us unless you go to farmers markets . . . And some of us can't afford to go."
The remedy, Clancy thought, was to set up a farmers market five days a week, under cover.
She had seen the concept in England years ago, and the couple thought it was worth trying it out here.
After humming and hawing over the idea for months, they came across a vacant space in the Gordonton Village in January.
Problem was, it was a wreck. No walls, no doors, no stairs to the space where a door should go - it was an empty cavern.
But Clancy says she'd seen the space in a dream. Wacky, she acknowledges, but she took it as a cosmic sign. They told the landlord they would take it.
Next they convinced McGarry and Oliver to come along for the ride. Friends from the market circuit, the couple (who make jams) could see potential in the idea.
They have been buying locally for four years and knew the Gordonton community would support the store.
The site was was fixed up, fitted out and opened officially in May. It's the first shop of its kind in New Zealand, the couples believe. Split up into rentable spaces, it runs in a similar fashion to a farmers market.
Small, local growers and producers come in, rent a space - maybe for a week if they've got excess produce, or a month with shelf stable products - set their own prices and get 100 per cent of the profits.
It's not a retail shop, Clancy and McGarry stress, and the growers and producers are partners, not suppliers.
"We not purchasing the product, we're not owning it and putting a mark-up on it," Clancy says.
Everything is local. Garlic comes from the road behind, the pumpkins come from two doors up, fruit is dropped off on the doorstep by more locals and the daffodils are cut a kilometre away and delivered.
Don't expect to buy bananas. Don't expect mangos or pineapples. If it's not going to grow in the greater Waikato, it's not going to be in the store.
Supplies are organic where possible, but because the partners are generally small growers, the cost to be certified is too hefty.
There are things on offer other than fruit and veg too. You can pick up rip-your-head-off-it's-so-hot hot sauce from Raglan, honey from Horsham Downs and crafts from around the place.
There are 44 partners on board. So far it's been a sustainable business model, if not profitable.
And they are keen to take on new partners. Only 50 per cent of the space is currently rented so there's plenty of room to grow.
"I think the benefit is that it is so reasonable for them. They don't have to give their time. They don't have to be here," McGarry says.
As well, a new revenue stream has the business driving goods into Hamilton on Fridays, boosting the shop's profile.
Anyone, anywhere within the confines of the city can sign up to get fresh, local produce delivered to their door between 12.30pm and 2.30pm
The Farm Shop is not the answer for everyone, they say. Partners have come on board, given selling in the shop a go, and it hasn't worked out.
So the owners thank them and they move on.
"But that's the beauty about it," Clancy says. "You can walk away at any time."
Customers from as far afield as Auckland and Napier have made their way to the Waikato community to buy the produce.
The women say they are keen to help set up similar operations around the country, supplied by local growers and manufacturers.
They are willing to share what they've learnt so far, as well as their custom-built software to cater for daily turnover being broken down for each partner.

The Straight Dope on What Bath Salts Do to Your Brain and Why They're Dangerous
the brain science of scripture study - not sure how scientific this really is, but i like it
"Satan knows the physiology of the brain. He knows if he can encourage overstimulation through an overload of mundane or technical information, he can increase the odds that we will not seek more spiritual sources for input, thus making scripture study tedious...Your time with the word of the Lord is your personal Urim and Thummim. It is there that God will speak to you. Frequent the scriptures often enough that your brain craves that kind of input – that your day feels incomplete without it."

Back in Medical School we were told that we were given a certain number of brain cells and that was it for life. However, this idea that humans do not grow new brain cells is now fully demonstrated to be wrong. How exciting it is that we possess the ability to re-grow new brain cells, a process called neurogenesis. Not only that, but we retain this ability throughout our entire lifetimes. So you might be wondering: What can I do to increase neurogenesis?

Blind Bard
Now that I have your attention I would say this is well written and well thought out. I think many listeners will appreciate the quality of the story while being unable to turn their eyes from the excruciating train wreck that is the characters personal stories. I should also add the narrator regularly changes volume at inopportune moments rendering certain portions painful for listening to. In all honesty there are so many better books out there, even for the drama types that I would suggest you avoid this one.
"I didn't want it to end..."
MDR has a gift for setting big theological questions in the context of vibrant characters who came to life with deep humanity as she wove personal journeys into THE quest.
Her eye for detail & her ear for speech both alien & human made her book rich indeed
The narrator added color while not inserting himself...a truly humble blessing
"Thought provoking"
I don't usually choose to read/listen to science fiction but picked this up on a friends recommendation. The religious theme intrigued me and I found parts of the book thought provoking. Can't say I was a big fan of the ending...all in all a good read.
"Best Listen EVER for me leading to my first review"
Absolutely...did not want it to end. Complex, moving tale. The "first contact" idea and space travel is not my usual reading fare and were off-putting initially but in the end were essential to the story. The lack of vilification but attempts to understand instead, the presentation of desire and faith so vulnerable to disappointment and confusion was very well portrayed.
How the real story unfolds through Emilio's tears and the actual bravery dressed as callousness of his superior.
No. But his voice modulation, sometimes muttering so low that I had to rewind and turn up the volume marred an otherwise good presentation of the material which included multiple complex accents, new words and languages, and sophisticated terminology of medical, aeronautic, techie and futuristic ideas.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. I hope a film IS made of it.
This should be required reading for Christian theology classes.
Live near Yosemite National Park. Listen to Audible books while hiking.
"Intelligent; not an adventure"
The Sparrow isn't so much a sci-fi tale as it is a theological inquiry where the main question of the plot isn't answered. After the story, the author allows how she is an academic who has not written fiction before. Her work has well-developed characters with well-written interaction among them, but no hard action. All the violence takes place off stage. In short, it wasn't what I expected but still found the book well-written. The reader is good. On the sci-fi level, one has to suspend disbelief quite firmly at some points in the plot, i.e., the crew with its particular personalities would never have ever been permitted to undertake such a momentous and historical mission (some government would have stopped them); the characters' organization would never have had the resources to fund such a mission (internal disputes about inappropriate expenditures would have stopped the project); the episode about the hands would never have happened in real life except under huge duress and onstage violence; and the radio reports back to earth would have been decipherable and understandable by many (hackers; hams; foreign governments, etc.), so get ready to sigh as the storyline takes unlikely, if not downright unbelievable, turns. Nevertheless, the book is well written and well read by its narrator, so if you like thoughtful fiction, you will probably enjoy this work.
"Implausible SF- extremely contrived"
Perhaps I'm being too hard on The Sparrow, having just read "The Martian" which treats space travel as something difficult and dangerous. Apparently in The Sparrow, you just hop an asteroid which gang of who's ever around to travel to distant stars. No zero-g training or vacuum experience required.
When you arrive at the planet, everyone comes on down with the lander and the crew operates more like a family on vacation than a military command structure. Oh yeah, and extremely smart people who've trained for the mission don't think about fuel consumption or the importance of establishing contact with command before doing rash things.
The plot is poorly constructed and contrived to arrive where the author wants it.
"Wonderful Spiritual Journey"
Top 3
His beautiful narration made me feel like I was sitting in a performance of reader's theatre. He brought all the details to life.
I read this book years ago when it came out. Hearing it again like this was truly a new spiritual awakening for me. Thank you. I can't wait until next month's credits come available so I can read the next part, Children of God!
"Great book and series!"
I am a Christian and I love Science Fiction. This book and series is firing on both cylinders. MD Russell has crafted a great story with real in sites in faith and the human condition, and understanding of science and society.
Dune series.
"A fresh and exciting "First Contact" novel."
Near the top, for sure. It was very original, and among the best sci-fi I've experienced. SO much literary value here.

Phailin blows rice politics contest into Chhattisgarh

The aftermath of Cyclone Phailin and its effect on Chhattisgarh's agriculture have set the stage for a contest between the BJP and the Congress, which have already tried to outmatch each other in rice politics.
The Congress has promised 35 kg foodgrains free to beat Raman Singh's "chaur waale baba" image, and promised Rs 2,000 a quintal as paddy procurement price against the Rs 1,310 set by the party-led UPA government for the country. Raman Singh has countered that with a promise of Rs 2,400 a quintal he will recommend to the Centre a minimum support price of Rs 2,100, which he will top up with a Rs 300 bonus from the state government.
What Phailin has done is that it has extended the duration of the rains and delayed paddy harvesting. This has led to sluggish arrival of paddy at purchasing centres across the state, setting the stage for the contest. But for Phailin, procurement should have wound up before the promises were announced, with the season having started almost three weeks ago, on October 21
"Our purchasing centre procures over 50,000 quintals. But so far, only three farmers have brought their produce totalling 74 quintals," says Anil Gopal, manager at Sahaspur's primary agricultural cooperative society, pointing at a pile of jute bags arranged by the society to pack the paddy.
Farmers appear torn between the twin temptations. "Raman Singh has tried to be clever with farmers," says Sugreevar Patel, middle-aged and weather-beaten, who grows paddy at Girisa village in Saraipali assembly seat. "He gives a bonus in two years just before the elections and just after and skips it in the remaining three years." Patel's produce is at the procurement centre with that of a few other from his village.
Congress leaders have been advising farmers to hold their crop back until December so that the Congress government will purchase it at Rs 2,000 a quintal. That works out to an effective bonus of Rs 690 a quintal, against the Rs 300 being promised by Raman Singh.

A genially cruddy B movie can sometimes go places — sort of — that bigger movies won't. Usher, the teen idol who's like a black version of Justin Timberlake's white version of a Michael Jackson knockoff, struts through In the Mix as a chick magnet of a DJ who is forced to play bodyguard to a mobster's daughter (the very hot Emmanuelle Chriqui). While Chazz Palminteri chews the ziti as the mobster, the bodyguard and his charge act on their attraction, and the various anonymous dangers become the film's projection of racial-erotic anxiety. In essence, In the Mix explores the question: Will Usher get offed for sleeping with a white girl? The film gets props for the fact that the two end up in bed in the first place, yet Usher, who has a squinty charm, is forced to display an infinite polite chivalry that would have shamed Sidney Poitier. He also wins over the lady he's protecting by feeding her soul food, which results in the year's single most embarrassing romantic howler: "Must have been the collard greens that made me lose control!"

Zoe Saldana: "At the peak of my pregnancy I reached 185lbs"
June 8, 2015 in Zoe Saldana by Versus
On her post-baby figure:
I don't want to get back to where I used to be. I want to feel healthy, and not just fit into the old jeans I used to wear. I'm a woman now. My body has changed forever. It's softer… and stronger. Your body changes dramatically, inside and out. You grow in places you never knew you could, and you are tired beyond belief. In some cases more than others, your body experiences a kind of trauma through childbirth that is difficult to explain unless you've had that experience.
On the complications of her pregnancy:
Everything from my thyroid to my platelets crashed. Thank God, we are all doing great now, but my body was really bent out of shape after the boys were born. I know many of you have gone through this or are going through it as we speak. Let's do it together. Let's talk about it, hear each other out, and seek advice when we need it.
On how she plans on getting back in shape:
I started in January with Moyer (her trainer). I was 160lbs (at the peak of my pregnancy I reached 185lbs). I had no flexibility, weak joints, and exercising was painful. We started with just walking, I think I only walked that first month. I did however change the way I eat. I want to prove to myself that if I have the right determination I can do anything.
… says Zoe, who gave birth to twins 6 months ago.
See more of her next!

Are you still friends with
Rebecca Black after the party and do you like her song
Yeah! Rebecca's got a great sense of style, she's designing my forest princess dress for the next LARP convention. I get so, so excited for her every time Friday comes on the radio! It's nice to finally be able to relate to what getting down on Friday actually means!
How are you using your newfound popularity?
Mostly just to connect with new people online that have similar interests. I never knew there were so many people into Sudoku and the solar system like me! I've made a few really great Weenie Baby trades recently as well!
What's the weirdest thing you've had stuck in your braces?
I chewed on a pen one day in History class. The ink tube part got tangled in my braces, luckily Dr. Rosenthall was able to remove it, but my mouth was blue for two days!
Who are your music heroes and what do you like most about them?
Hanson and Sugar Ray, because they've both got REALLY cute singers! Katy Perry has also been really great to me, performing onstage with her has been so fun!
Would you consider applying for The X Factor and what would sing?
Chumbawamba "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never going to keep me down"! I'm very accident-prone, so I feel it's pretty appropriate! LOL,
What are you top three style tips for a party?
Make your hair REALLY big, wear lots of neon colors and swap one of your shoes with a friend and wear a mis-matched pair - all these things are guaranteed to get you noticed!
When is your next party and can we come?
Due to the whole "grounded for the next 5 years" thing, I'm laying low on having a lot of people over for a while. The next party will be online, that way you can all come!

Musika Quick Stats
13 Years
Since We Started
Happy Customers

Teachers in Network
I have loved singing since I could first talk! I grew up singing in choirs, shows, and church. When I attended the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA for high school, I realized that music and singing would be my career path for life. There, I was classically trained and learned to sing opera. I went on to complete my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in voice. I am excited to have moved to Chicago with my husband, Sean. I look forward to the opportunities here!
I'm a professional musician and educator who has lived in Chicagoland with my wife and two boys for the last 18 years. I'm originally from Columbus, Ohio and received my BM from Capital University there. From there I was Music Director for one of Royal Caribbean's ships and then I made the move to Chicago in mid-1996. From then until now I have become one of the top/first call saxophonist/woodwind musicians in the city of Chicago and have performed all over the world with musical lumaries such as Aretha Franklin, The OJays, Brian McKnight, Diana Ross, Al Jarreau, The Temps and dozens of others!
I am a professional saxophonist specializing in Jazz performance and have spent many years playing in cities such as Chicago, Boston, New York City, and Rochester, New York. I double on flute and am proficient in that instrument as well. I have taught students for several years now and have taken classes in pedagogy and teaching skills. In addition to the jazz musician side of me, I am also a music therapist. I currently go to school at Nazareth College and am in the graduate program in creative arts therapy and am an intern at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, IL. I have worked with older adults with alzheimer's, adults with mental health issues, hosptialized children and adolescents, and survivors of stroke. I plan to work in a medical facility as a music therapist once I graduate from school. As a result of my music therapy practice, I am very proficient in piano and guitar and can teach beggining and intermediate students on these instruments.
Thank you so much for checking out my profile! I have been having a love affair with music and the arts for over twenty years. Beginning piano lessons at the age of five, it still continues to be one of the biggest joys in my life, second only to singing. I grew up in a very small town in central Illinois, and was always very active in community choirs and theatre. I always knew I wanted to study music, and chose Illinois State to do so. While there, I participated in musicals, as well as concert choir and the women's elite chorus "Belle Voix." Since college, I have been writing original cabarets and performing live around the city of Chicago. It's my philosophy that one should never stop learning, so I study regularly with my voice teacher of eight years, Sandra DeAthos, take class at the Bloom School of Jazz (vocal performance and jazz piano), and with the Second City Music Conservatory.
I'm a pianist, keyboardist, and singer-songwriter. I'm originally from St. Louis, MO, and I moved to Chicago in 2008 to pursue a degree and career in music. In 2013, I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance, specializing in popular styles of music such as rock, blues, and pop. That same year I became a full time member of The Nick Moss Band, a blues/rock/jam band based in Chicago. Over the past two years I have had the privelige to play at some of the largest Blues festivals in the world, and have also played in Germany, Norway, Poland, and Canada. Before joining The Nick Moss Band, I was a member of various blues/rock and jam bands around the city of Chicago, and also played with various pop artists and singer songwriters. I am heavily influenced by blues, rock, pop, and jazz pianists. Some examples would be Elton John, Bruce Hornsby, Jerry Lee Lewis, Vince Guaraldi (Charlie Brown), Keith Jarrett, and Otis Spann. I consider myself a bit of a "late bloomer". I didn't start playing piano seriously until I was 16 years old, but a lot of hard work has gotten me to this point, and I am excited to continue to hopefully inspire others and help them love all types of music!

Background checks available on instructors. Instructor can opt to have a background check on file. You can request to only be connected with teachers that have a check. The choice is yours.
As students will need to practice the content taught during their lessons, they will need to invest in a digital piano or a keyboard. There are a number of different keyboards on the market, however we suggests looking to buy one with 61 keys or more. Keyboards with weighted action keys are most like that of a real piano, and are recommended. Keyboards are often a cheaper and more convenient option that digital pianos or a real piano, as they can be transported around and played using headphones. That said, if buying an acoustic piano is within your budget, it will provide the most satisfying learning experience.
Music lessons in your home offer a convenient option to learning music! Most of our students request in home lessons for this reason. As long as you have a piano or keyboard in your home, then you should be all set to start your lessons! Children who have never played an instrument before may feel more comfortable studying in their own home, as it may be less intimidating than going somewhere else. In home lessons decrease the time and gas money spent traveling to a different location.
Piano lessons are usually structured around a series of method books which are recommended by the teacher, and can be purchased at a local music store or online. Lessons for a beginner usually start with familiarizing the student with the piano as well as beginner level technique. This will include learning the notes on the piano, and learning basic scales, like major and minor scales. Beginners will start by learning how to play scales using the correct finger techniques with both bands until they develop their speed and co-ordination. Eventually students will start off by playing simple melodies - often nursery rhymes - that utilize and put the fingering techniques into practice. Students will also learn the various types of chord, from simple major and minor chords, through to 7th chords, slash chords and diminished chords. Students will also develop their sight reading and music theory knowledge throughout their lessons.
Adults take up piano lessons for a number of different reasons. Some people want to reintroduce themselves to the instrument having once played it in the past, while others are looking for a new hobby or just to learn a new skill for fun! Whatever the reason, there are major benefits to learning the piano during adulthood. Learning piano technique can help retain fine motor skills and co-ordination, it can keep the mind sharp due to the complex thought processes and has shown to be good for preserving your hearing. Learning to play the piano can also be therapeutic, and is a great stress reliever.
Our recommended starting age for piano is 4 or 5, with students capable of playing the keys properly and with sufficient strength in the fingers and hands. Young students also should have begun learning to count and to read. No matter what the age may be, the piano is an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of music, including music theory and basic composition techniques.

Recently moved to geneva and in France and Switzerland this concert has been discontinued. It's so nice to still be able to get it on here as iris an integral part I my makeup routine!
This is OK, goes on smoothly but it doesn't give the covergae i'm looking for, blends in too well.

I am almost 10 weeks and I dont want to eat anything. I know I need to (obviously) but nothing sounds/smells/looks good. Ever. When I think something sounds OK I can only eat a bite or too. I know this is not suppose to last much longer (I hope!) but I just don't know what to do. Sidenote: I don't have morning "sickness" but I feel nauseous from sun up to sun down but the eating problem is my primary concern.
Help! Need advice!

Just eat whatever you can stomach. Try Popsicles, and citrus fruit. That still manages to appeal to me - grapefruit, line Popsicles, apples too. Sometimes soup is good- chicken noodle kind of thing. Last night I had Tom ka Thai soup and it hit the spot - coconut milk with lime and lemongrass plus some veggies. This all tends to work for me but you might be different so just try different things.

Don't think about food, just put it in your mouth while you are watching tv or distracted with a book. I know that sounds stupid but when u start to think about food it makes it worse. Grapes are easy because you don't have to prepare anything. Keep it simple. I found apples are easy to get down too. I love veggies, but it's not happening right now. Bagels and fruit works best for me.

I've had the same thing! It gets better and it gets worse. Just try to eat small small portions frequently, even though I know it's hard! I can usually stomach those premade frozen pbj sandwiches and anything tomatoe. Like spaghetti-o's and chilli.
Good luch and a happy 9 months!
