Rated 4.9 out of 5�by 7 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by PeaceDoc Fair spin This wedge is not as heavy as the Callaway i had, but it offers as much spin. Dependable. Plays as a sand wedge also. Seems to be a dependable 60�. May 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Buzid sand wedge Very forgiving club, nice feel and does as I expected! Nice way to show how you can get out of sand as well as short shots. March 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by BD As advertised Great wedge , learning to do more & more every time on the course ! I am using for my gap wedge & it works perfect ! February 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by hamdaniee great wedge My best part of my game is the wedge game. I can flop , stop , C hope and stick a ball close with this club. I moved from a Wilson ham 55 degree to this club. FI rat fay with it , and the spin is incredible. 56 degree and 10 bounce works great for a good player December 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by rburgan Excellent Wedge - Low Bounce This is an excellent wedge for someone who is looking for a 60 degree with VERY little bounce. It sets up almost flush to the ground. It has a thin top line, like most Mizuno clubs. Spin is excellent. Highly recommended for better players. May 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bruce High Quality These wedges are forged. Very solid and consistent feel. The 50 and 54 degree gave me the perfect distances that I was looking for. Your ball will spin off these wedges! September 25, 2013

Good luck to you IKIC haven't really been out but plan on makin some yote hunts first of the month
How as everyone been doing on the coyote hunting in 2013?
Mine started off crappy with loosing my remote to my Foxpro then my decoy crapped out on me. I picked up a Primos Alpha Dogg caller and a Mojo Critter, went out last sunday and on the first set got a double haulin ass to the decoy. My partner that was with me got excited and shot at the lead dog at 200 yards with him on the run! Needless to say he missed and blew the set. I let loose 5 shots at the back dog with my AR 223 with not luck, I cant hit shiz on the run. Either way we had fun and my buddy got his education on dog hunting after that one.
I hope to go out this sunday to a spot where I saw a dog that looked like a friggin German Shepard with 3 others.
How bout you?
Good luck to you IKIC haven't really been out but plan on makin some yote hunts first of the month
I haven't had the opportunity to get out either, still trying to make my German Wirehaired Pointer Duke happy! I hope to get out in February, this place is crawling with dogs. Good luck to you IKIC and all others, kill them all!!!
I've been hunting quail off my quad and take along my old Winchester M70 223, just in case we jump any yotes while riding. Well last two weeks I saw a dog and each time it was haulling a*s, and yes I missed them both!! (darn) Yea, guess you can say I'm a bad shot when they are runnin too. I did get lots of shooting done on some valley and Mt qual and managed to put some in the frying pan for lunch, yummy.

Ikic, you need to come to az to call, I see coyotes everyday! Seriously I saw more coyotes than deer this morning.
Ikic, have fun bro and good hunting!
A bonafide city boy...that calls the Backcountry his "hood!"
Dad and I have been out a few times this fall/winter. We are having the best year yet. We are probably close to 70-80% on our sets with dogs called in. With our fabulous shooting skills our kill % is slightly lower. Those things are a pain in the a$$ to hit on the run. I'll try to post a few pics when I get home from work.
Hahah ya they hit hyper speed after the first shot! You guys sound like your doing well.

Voices from the Past
I love listening to people's tales of the past. They are entertaining and often incredible; life really writes the best stories. The Brisbane library's history room has a collection of oral histories that tell lots of stories about personal and political issues that have shaped the city of Brisbane and its residents.
What are Oral Histories?
Oral histories are the recorded memories and stories of people. They offer a personal view of events in the past as told by everyday citizens and strive to include those who have had little opportunity in the past to make themselves heard. They help us to better understand and relate to our community. I'd like to think that instead of viewing history from a distance, oral histories allow us to experience history close-up and personal.
What are the Brisbane Oral Histories About?
For the 25th anniversary of Brisbane's incorporation in 1986, the City of Brisbane launched an oral history project to record the memories of 32 people who significantly shaped the community. From illegal gambling to moonshine stills, Western Day parades to disappearing fire hydrants, the garbage dump to the development of San Bruno Mountain, the oral histories offer a unique perspective on a wide range of--often controversial--issues Brisbane has dealt with since the first residents settled there in the early 20th century.
Where Can I Find the Oral Histories?
The Brisbane library has digitized the original tapes and transcripts. You can come to the library and listen to the sound files on the computer, or read the transcripts. The library has a list of participants (with a brief description of the content of their interviews).
A Little Bit of Brisbane to Take Home With You
To learn more about Brisbane's history, you can also check out these:
Brisbane, by Dolores Gomez and Christy Thilmany, contains lots of great pictures and stories about Brisbane.
Brisbane Bop, by Jimmie Rivers and the Cherokees. This album was recorded at DeMarco's 23 Club in Brisbane (you can hear the audience), which also hosted famous performers Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline.
A Spirit of Independence: A History of Brisbane Before Incorporation, by Oral History Associates, Inc., chronicles the years before Brisbane's incorporation.
Brisbane, City of Stars: The First Twenty-Five Years, 1961-1986, by Oral History Associates, Inc., details the 25 years since Brisbane's incorporation in 1961.

One of the things I love about the wine world is people's willingness to share their opinions about the wines they taste, so others can benefit from their experience. This last weekend was Taste Washington in Seattle and, unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend. So, I did the next best thing and asked a few trusted friends what they liked, one of whom sent me the following email . It's a great, and enviable, list of his top 10 wines from the event. Can't wait to dive in...hope it's informative for you as well.
Hi Friends,
I attended Taste Washington last night – and thought you might be interested in my favorites wines (or may be not!). Regardless, here goes:
1. Gorman '07 "The Bully" Cabernet Sauvignon. This was my favorite of the evening. I think Chris Gorman is a genius. He also let me taste his new "Albatross" that will be coming out in December in a very limited allocation. It's delicious…
2. Gramercy Cellars '07 John Lewis Reserve Syrah. Greg Harrington also said the '08 Tempranillo is even better than the '06 (my personal favorite).
3. Barrister "Rough Justice" blend. Barrister is just the best thing that's ever happened to Spokane. Their '07 Cab Franc was also great.
4. Amaurice '06 Tsudakawa blend is brilliant. Plus, I have a total crush on Anna Schafer.
5. Fidelitas '07 Red Mountain blend. Charlie Hoppes is just a badass. Their Optu is great as well.
6. Spring Valley '07 Uriah blend – learned that all the wines are named after family ancestors, which was cool.
7. Walla Walla Vintners "Bello Rosso" is super. They were hiding this bottle, and I was one of the lucky few who got to try it.
8. Pepperbridge '07 Cabernet – actually ships today for the wine club. Awesome. Jean Francois remembered me from our last trip
9. Sparkman Cellars was the surprise hit of the night. I loved their '07 Stella Mae blend.
10. Maison Bleue '08 La Roque Syrah. Despite the bad label + font, their wines are great! All Red Mountain.
The runner-ups: Seia '07 Syrah, Woodward Canyon '07 Artist Series Cab, Whitman '05 Cab Sauv, and Col Solare '07 Red Mountain blend.
Also thought it was interesting that so many wineries are marketing their slice of the Boushey vineyard in Red Mountain – which kind of feels like the new "copper river salmon."

Finally, someone comes around with a wine review for the everyman. I introduce you to Ted McCagg of Questionable Skills: Drawings by Ted McCagg, an illustrator and voice well worth listening to.
2007 Thierry et Pascale Matrot Chardonnay Bourgogne Blanc
Citrusy, pithy, minerally...off balance and a bit challenging for me. Picked up as another recommendation for a wine that pairs well with butternut squash soup, but didn't compare to the 2008 Domaine d'Ardhuy Bourgogne Blanc (tasting notes on this wine posted earlier today) - in fact, I have a full bottle of this wine left while the d"Ardhuy was finished at dinner last night (and both were served with dinner). My rating: 84
2008 Domaine d'Ardhuy Bourgogne Blanc
I went to McCarthy & Schiering wine shop in Seattle looking for a good wine to pair with butternut squash soup and, man, did they nail it with this French Chardonnay. Good wine on its own, with more crispness than a US Chardonnay. Good citrus, apple and mineral notes. But, with the soup, it was a perfect blend of flavors complimenting each other. Whenever I make butternut squash soup again, this is the wine I will have on hand to enjoy it with. My rating: 88
2008 Woodward Canyon Chardonnay
Lemon, peach, sour apple, in a crisp and full white wine. surprisingly little oak and a long, lingering finish. Really nice wine, but a bit pricey for a Washington state white wine, so keeping my rating at an 89 (don't always do this, but only in situations where i feel the QPR is off a bit). My rating: 89
2008 Lucien Albrecht Pinot Gris Cuvée Romanus
Excellent Pinot Gris and under $20. Crisp lemon and citrus, with a smooth, buttery broad palate and long finish. Recommendation from the sommelier at Cafe Campagne in Seattle and absolutely hit the mark. If I could find any of this online, I'd buy a case without hesitation. My rating: 90
2007 Domaine Roger Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Very nice Chateauneuf-du-Pape, with a huge aroma - blackberry, bacon, mocha and chestnuts. On the palate, great acidity and a decent finish. doesn't live up to all the hype of the 2007 CDP vintage, but, then again, this is a $27 bottle and I think the QPR is very high on this wine. My only regret is that I didn't buy more than I did (only bought two bottles). My rating: 90
2007 Terra Blanca Roussanne
Reserve Terra Blanca Estate Buttery/creamy, meyer lemon, leeche and some minerals. Nice, easy drinker, but may be too buttery for some tastes. My rating: 87
2006 Long Shadows Wineries Pedestal
I had a glass of this last night at the met in Seattle and didn't take too many notes, but suffice it to say this is a beautiful wine. Dark, lush, ripe fruit and so incredibly well balanced, smooth and silky. Long, lush finish and zero heat. I thought I would need to wait on the '06's that I have in my cellar, but this is already showing very well. My rating: 94
2007 Tamarack Cellars Firehouse Red
Raspberry, blackberry, mocha, smoke (from the Carménère ...rare addition for a US blend, at least in my experience) and pepper - it's lush, broad on the palate and well balanced, with a long, lingering finish. This is an incredible wine for the price (about $15) and if I can find any more, I'll pick up everything I can let my hands on. My rating: 90 And, the blend on this thing is crazy (see below) - makes me want to be there for that blending party...probably takes a week to figure it all out.
I don't generally recycle content, but, in this case, it's definitely worth it, given the plight of so many people in Haiti. Below is a an article form Palate Press describing their auction efforts to provide relief to Haiti from worldwide wine lovers. Please read the below and take a look at the Wine for Haiti auction catalog on Palate Press. Many thanks to David Honig for pulling this all together.
Wine For Haiti – A Global Effort
When a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit the island January 12, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere suffered losses beyond compare. Hundreds of thousands are now injured or homeless, and CNN reported January 18 that the death toll may top 100,000.
Palate Press has joined the relief effort for Haiti's nine million residents. "When I saw the news from Haiti, I knew I had to do something," said David Honig, the publisher of Palate Press. Proceeds from their "Wine for Haiti" fundraising effort will go directly to support humanitarian relief.
Honig had previously created "Brother, Can You Spare a Bottle?", an organization that permits charities to request bottles for silent auctions. Now, Palate Press has teamed with that organization to encourage wine lovers to contribute to Haitian relief.
"If there's one thing I learned from Brother, Can You Spare a Bottle?, it's that the wine community is an incredibly generous and caring group of people, from the vineyard to the cellar. Combining the goal of 'Brother, Can You Spare a Bottle?' with the reach of PALATE PRESS: The Online Wine Magazine seemed like a natural match."
How can you get involved? Pull something from your cellar and donate it to the cause—maybe a bottle you've been saving for a special occasion, or simply one from your favorite wine store—a bottle that will make wine lovers say "I've gotta have it!" It needn't be a Brunello, Cab, or Bordeaux, just something special others might bid on as part of a lot.
Then, go to the Comments section of this post and post a note with your contribution to the Palate Press auction. Honig will then create auction lots for bid. Then, please come back to the site and bid on these fantastic wines.
Honig has been busy. "The response so far has been humbling, and absolutely amazing," he said. "We had hoped to collect enough bottles to put together a case or two," the Indianapolis, Indiana, attorney said. "Instead, the wine has been flowing in by the case, by the magnum, by the Joroboam, by the Methuselah. Wine has been contributed by individuals pulling bottles from their cellars, and by wineries donating from their libraries and special collections. An artist contributed an original Wine Goddess print, and University of California Press contributed wine books. New York vintners are competing to prove they can out-contribute California, and California will surely respond," Honig said.
"People are dying and we can do something about it. But we can't do it without your help," Matt of Boozemonkey wrote to his readers on January 18. "Five dollars or five hundred—it's not about who's is the biggest, but if we can get a little generosity from everyone, that will make for a hell of a lot of wine, a hell of a lot of donations at the auction and please believe me that every dollar counts in Haiti right now."
Within minutes of Matt's post to his blog, several Australian wineries donated cases. Wine bloggers soon began adding the logo to their sites, and other wineries lined up to contribute, including 2 Mates, Caught Redhanded, Gibbston Highgate Estate, Lankey's Creek Wines, Lindis River Wines, The Little Wine Company, Overhill Winery, and Barristers Block.
Palate Press contributors and the US wine industry are stepping up at a similar pace. Already, Rodney Strong, Cornerstone Cellars, Lynfred Winery, Liebe Cellars, Twisted Oak, and others have made substantial contributions. "The generosity of the wine community is inspiring," said Honig.
How it Works
Donors are invited to post items in the comments section of this post. Honig will then create auction lots, already underway, for bid. Lots will be posted here with a link to the individual lot. Individual 750ml bottles will be collected into larger lots, while large format bottles will be posted right away as individual lots.
Then, readers will enter a bid in the comments. Palate Press will not close bids quickly, but but once we do, the auction will end once 24 hours has passed without a bid. If a bidding war between two or three people transpires at the end of the bidding period, we will schedule a final bid at a set time to which the contestants (and anybody else lurking and waiting, but interested) agree. Honig will ship the wine to the winning bidder.

Terre Saharienne Collector
Poudre de Soleil Bronzing Powder
A pressed bronzing powder with Sun Radiance.
This bronzing powder provides an instant healthy glow thanks to the incorporation of the new "Sun Radiance" pigments. These special effect pigments capture the light and diffuse a golden reflection in all directions. The complexion is left looking smooth and golden and radiant. For all skin types.
Questions and Answers
I recently purchased YSL's Terre Saharienne bronzer and would like to know if bronzer is applied before blush
or after blush, or is it just individual preference? Thanks! Jun 9, 2012
I purchased this product today because I like a powder that has minimal to full coverage. The other compact powder which was my favorite was unfortunately discontinued by your brand. Is this great for coverage or I should get the loose powder?. This looks almost too much of a bronzner to me.

ask a cmpro | how do you set your white balance
It's time for another edition of our monthly series "Ask a CMpro" her on the CM photography blog in which we give our CMpros one question and they dish. Their answers alone are always inspiring and this week we asked them, "What method do you use for setting your white balance in camera and why does that method work for you?"

The following assumes that you have a backup of the /opt/zimbra/backup directory and at least one full backup session (zmbackup -f -a all). I scheduled a full daily backup at 6pm using zmschedulebackup -R f '00 18 * * *' and then a backup server uses rsync to copy/synchronize the /opt/zimbra/backup directory.
First, stop the Zimbra services with zmcontrol stop and then re-install Zimbra from the original installation directory with /var/tmp/zcs/install.sh
Second, copy the backup directory from the backup tape/disc/server. In my steps here, it's from a backup server that has a shared folder:
Login as zimbra user.
zmcontrol stop
Login as root.
/bin/mkdir -pv /mnt/restore
/bin/mount -r -t cifs -o username=backupuser,password=password,ro //backup/backup /mnt/restore
cp -rv /mnt/restore/zimbra/backup/* /opt/zimbra/backup/
/bin/umount /mnt/restore
sh /root/perms.sh
Third, restore the LDAP directory:Code:
echo Updating permissions...
/bin/chown -R root /opt/zimbra/backup
/bin/chgrp -R zimbra /opt/zimbra/backup
/bin/chmod -R 770 /opt/zimbra/backup
for x in $(ls /opt/zimbra/backup/sessions); do
chmod 440 /opt/zimbra/backup/sessions/$x/session.dat;
su zimbra
zmcontrol stop
zmrestoreldap -lbs (this lists the available sessions)
zmrestoreldap -lb session
Forth, start the Zimbra services, stop tomcat, and restore the accounts:
zmcontrol start
tomcat stop
zmrestoreoffline -sys
zmrestoreoffline -rf -a all
tomcat start
Fifth, regenerate the keys:
tomcat restart
Sixth, log into the web administration interface.
Verify your global settings. When I tested the above disaster recovery steps, it did not restore "Relay MTA for external delivery" and it didn't rememer my SpamAssassin settings.

Love these stencils. I use them mostly for cards and art journaling. They're a perfect size for a 5x7 to 9x12 page. They're sturdy and clean up easily. For use with acrylics, put them in water if you can't clean them right away. I have a box full. They're especially great for the person who has no ability to draw!
I love Scrapbook.com templates. This one is very elegant. I really like it and is simple to use with just about any writing utensil.
beautiful template
Very nice.

Re: Three Sisters
Every year I plant the 3 sisters all in groups together. Climbing beans grow up poles and corn grows in groups of 6 and winter squash grows between all the corn and beans. 3 sisters. Each crop provides something for the others.Beans add nitrogen for the corn. Corn provides something to climb and the squash provides ground cover to shade the soils. The beans and squash store for months and we eat all winter.
Add to that a couple dozen heirloom tomatoes and plenty of sweet and hot peppers.
I have already started the seeds for the tomatoes and peppers in my hot house.
I'll add in some carrots and beets in my raised beds cause the soil is so soft and rock free. Of course, I'll grow a couple different kinds of basil cause I love pesto.
I have been pouring over the seed catalogs for a month. I keep ordering more seed.
Seeds are amazing.
My favorite seed catalogs are Baker Creek Seed, Totally Tomatoes; Johnney's Seed, Botanical Interests, Renee's Seed, Thompson & Morgan and Territorial Seed Co.

Just got back from a hectic few days connecting with customers and partners, press and analysts in the Unified Communications market. Bruce Morse, IBM VP of Unified Communications and collaboration software delivered a keynote address. The IBM showfloor booth was very busy. We showcased Sametime 8.5 and Sametime Unified Telephony as well as the other Lotus collaborative products. A big hit at this show was the long line for the IBM candy store looking for a 'Sweet Tweet'. Here are few pictures from the show.
Check out the Sametime 8.5 Meetings Beta on Greenhouse
John Del Pizzo 270001QBN7 firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  greenhouse online_meetings beta sametime_8.5 2,286 Visits
If you're not familiar with Greenhouse, it's a live community where you can use Lotus Collaboration products for free. And now it features the first public beta of Sametime 8.5 Online Meetings. You've seen the tweets from members of the private beta... and now you can see what all the buzz is about!
"Sametime 8.5 Meetings are an entirely new way to collaborate with others online. They are incredibly easy to use. Fully integrated into the Connect client you already use for chat, they make it simple to join a meeting with a single click; invite others by dragging their names from the contact list; upload materials via drag and drop; even share your screen from the Macintosh operating system. Of course, not everyone can participate via a Sametime Connect client, so 8.5 includes a zero-download, firewall friendly browser client as well.Greenhouse will be updated with additional capabilities that are part of the 8.5 release over the next month or so. Come on over and tell us what you think!

In communication circles, collaboration is apparently the word of the day. But for IBM customers, collaboration has long been an integral part of their UC environment. If you'd like to understand how IBM Unified Communications and Collaboration Solutions can help your business, I invite you to visit the new IBM UC2 Website and download a copy of the white paper, "The Power of Unifying Communications and Collaboration." You'll also find useful demos, webcasts, podcasts, 3rd party analysis and the new UCC Business Value Builder, which helps you quantify the value of UC2.
What is a Voice Mashup anyway?
Marlon Machado 100000PEST firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  voicecon mashups 1 Comment 1,958 Visits
I almost forgot to report on my panel at VoiceCon but better late than never.
So, the two positions were more or less as follows:
The reaction to the two approaches was positive. There was one person, however, who said to me he didn't "see it" as clearly as he did when Dan built the weather application on the fly. I explained the difference and even Dan agreed that the Sametime approach to building voice mashups is based on providing context first and that functionality is implemented as attributes while the Voxeo approach is based on building functionality first while leaving the context to the user.
There were analysts in the audience and, strangely, they left as soon as we were both done with our presentations. I found it strange that they didn't stay for the questions-and-answers bit of the session. Overall it was a good session, good interaction and a good audience. I would do it again any time.
Sametime 3D on CNN

It's nice to see we're still getting coverage for the Sametime Virtual Collaboration Services (a.k.a. Sametime 3D). A November 9 article on CNN.com, "Going to the virtual office in Second Life", specifically mentioned our offering by name:
Not everyone of course will want a full virtual world environment for realtime collaboration, but it's good to know the option it there, and the business value tangible, for those situations that warrant a richer visual environment than traditional online meetings or rich text / audio / video chat. And it further shows the power of Sametime as a collaborative platform.
More from VoiceCon San Francisco 2009

I know I promised some photos from VoiceCon San Francisco 2009, but I've been traveling to Singapore and am just getting around to catching up on a few things before the US Thanksgiving holidays.
First of all a big thank you to the VoiceCon team, especially Fred Knight, who as always rolls out the red carpet for us. I have to say, from my vantage point in the IBM Booth staffing the Sametime demoes, the traffic was good and the quality of attendees even better than I would have hoped with the continuing slowness in the US and California economy.
And as you know, this was also the first time VoiceCon was co-located with Enterprise 2.0 San Francisco. It was a recognition that collaboration is spanning both real-time and social collaboration, and that Enterprises need to consider both within a broader collaboration agenda. IBM was a key sponsor for both events.
In addition to our usual booth, keynote and other speakers, one of the neat things we did this time was set up a "Sweet Tweets" bar at the IBM Booth. Visitors were encouraged to stop by, pick up some sweets, and then tweet (#sweettweets or #IBM and #voicecon) about the IBM booth. Behind the bar was a large display showing a real-time feed of the twitter stream. My favorites were the gummy bananas - almost like banana-flavored Peeps. Here's a picture from my iPhone:
Here's a few more photos:
It was pretty much impossible to maintain a healthy eating habit with all this delicious stuff around:
There was a lot of traffic not just for the sweets, though...
Sametime Quick Tip: License Compliance
John Del Pizzo 270001QBN7 email@example.com 1,268 Visits
As we approach the end of the year, I receive many recommendation requests for tools that can help manage Sametime license compliance. One such tool is the Permessa IM License Auditor.
"In a few quick steps, Permessa IM License Auditor produces fast, accurate counts of the Lotus Sametime users across an entire enterprise or for selected servers. You'll know true accurate license counts for known users, active users and more. The report also displays counts by client application and version number for detailed license tracking. The result is that you can be ready for a license audit or true-up with three simple steps."As an added bonus, Permessa provides the Auditor under a "free 45-day license with unlimited renewals"... so it's essentially free. Try it and let us know how useful you find it.

Has anyone taken all the settings of the Scales of War campaign and put them into one map? By that I mean the map of Elsir Vale that is available in Rescue at Rivenroar, which only covers the Brindol region, plus the bigger scale map that is knocking around on the Net which I think comes from the Red Hand of Doom module back in 3.5 days. Plus linking to that the map of the Overlook region which I believe is part of the second module, Seige of Bodrin's Watch.
I'm wondering if anyone has put all these into one big map of the Elsir Vale and surrounds, preferably as close to the original maps as possible, and if they have would they care to share?

Craven County Cooperative Extension has been working hard to prepare for Farm City Day, and we appreciate the support of our host sites at the New Bern Farmers Market and the NC History Center at Tryon Palace. The event is scheduled for Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with educational booths and agriculture-related exhibits available at both sites. There are no sit-down presentations or other specific events scheduled, so you can drop by for as long as you like, anytime during that four-hour period.
You may be surprised to know that agriculture is North Carolina�s number one industry, representing a $72 billion economic impact and 17 percent of North Carolina jobs. And agriculture continues to be one of Craven County�s most important economic drivers, with annual farm cash receipts of about $60 million and another $60 million from forestry production.
The purpose of Farm City Day is to celebrate the importance of agriculture to our daily lives, and to highlight some of the linkages between farm families and urban residents. We certainly hope the few minutes you spend visiting the Farmers Market and the NC History Center on Nov. 2 will contribute to your appreciation of agriculture at the county and state levels. Feel free to call our office at 633-1477, or send me an e-mail, if you have questions about Farm City Day.
Disruptors of lawn and landscape peace and harmony over the past few weeks have included fire ants, mushrooms and earthworms. In that same order, our recommendations range from �do something� to �do nothing�.
Fire ant mounds are very numerous and prominent in October, and this represents an excellent opportunity to reduce next year�s population on your property. Before the weather turns cold for good, make every effort to treat all the active mounds you can find, with baits, drenches or whatever formulation you feel comfortable using. Do keep in mind, however, that for most of us baits will be the safest and easiest products to apply, and will tend to be just as effective as other formulations.
Mushrooms will be the topic of additional conversation in next week�s column, but for today I want to stress that there are no general remedies or fungicides to apply for the suppression of all the different types of fungi that might be producing mushrooms in your lawn or landscape beds. The best approach, if you feel the need to clean things up a bit, is to mow them over in lawn areas and rake them out from landscape beds. Doing nothing is also a reasonable strategy.
Earthworm activity, most noticeable in the fall and winter, is recognized by small mounds or castings of soil on the lawn surface, possibly the diameter of a nickel to a quarter. Castings may be so numerous that it appears as if someone has stood back and strewn loose soil across the lawn surface. It may look a little messy, but through soil aeration earthworms are doing more good than harm. Control measures are rarely recommended, and you won�t find any chemical pesticides registered for treatment against earthworms.

Football: Nrth Meck v. Hopewell Home-Shield Trophy Game
7 PM @ Hopewell Home. Hopewell won 28-21 last season. North Mecklenburg (3-3, 1-1) at Hopewell (1-5, 0-2). Players to watch: North Mecklenburg–QB Nolan Beasley, RB William Santiago, LB Jaylan Bridges; Hopewell–WR/RB Dominique Heath, QB Jerry Chadwick, WR Logan Chester. THE SKINNY: This is the "Shield of Victory" game in which the winning school keeps the Shield Trophy for a year. North Meck needs to win to keep playoff hopes alive. Hopewell needs to win for an emotional boost after a 69-pt loss to Mallard Creek last week. The Titans have won this rivalry the past six years. North Meck had an effective mix of running and passing in a victory against West Charlotte last week, but was nearly doomed by a late fumble and errant punt snap. The Vikings defense isn't huge, but compensates with speed and aggressiveness.

text: NATIONAL PENN Banking Business International Trade Export Services Print Export Services Increase your market share, use your equipment to the fullest and expand into less competitive foreign markets. Exporting can be a very viable option with nearly 90% of Pennsylvania's foreign trade being transacted by small- and medium-sized companies. Clearly, there's a world of opportunity. You just need to understand and mitigate the risks and that's where we can help. Our highly experienced teams have all the tools and talent you need to start or grow your exporting endeavors. Learn more with the links below. Or give us to call to discuss your unique needs today. Export Letters of Credit Ensure prompt, complete payments, manage foreign buyer credit risk and enhance business opportunities by selling to buyers you might otherwise avoid. An Export Letter of Credit is a written document that replaces the credit of your buyer with the credit of their bank. It provides the payment mechanism covering the shipment of goods between you and the buyer, in accordance with certain terms and conditions. It also assures the buyer that you will comply with the documentary requirements in order for you to receive payment. This diagram and description outline a letter of credit, assuming that you are the seller. You negotiate the sale of goods as well as payment terms with a foreign company. The buyer applies for a merchandise letter of credit from their bank, whereby the bank agrees to pay against documents conforming to the terms and conditions of the credit, independent of the buyer's ability or willingness to pay. As beneficiary you want to ensure that the letter of credit is acceptable, so you can provide our form, Instructions for the Buyer in Opening a Letter of Credit to your customer. The buyer's bank issues a letter of credit to National Penn Bank. National Penn Bank can either act as the advising bank or the confirming bank. We become a confirming bank when the obligation is accepted as our own. We then authenticate the transmission and notify you that a letter of credit has been received in your favor. You examine the letter of credit and, if acceptable, ship the goods to the buyer in accordance with the shipping terms specified in the contract. The shipping terms dictate where you must deliver the goods and who has responsibility for the cost and risk. This is done using one of the 13 INCOTERMS that were developed by the International Chamber of Commerce. The documents are presented to National Penn Bank. Typically documents may include the following: Draft Bill of Lading / transport document Commercial Invoices Certificate of Origin Insurance policies or certificates Optional documents, which may include packing lists, certificates of inspection, etc. National Penn Bank examines the documents to ensure that they conform to the letter of credit. The documents are forwarded to the issuing bank and payment is requested. The issuing bank reviews the documents to ensure that the terms and conditions have been met. The applicant is advised of their receipt and payment is requested.8a. Simultaneously, the issuing bank remits the payment to National Penn Bank and transfers the title documents to the buyer upon receipt of the payment. 8a. Simultaneously, the issuing bank remits the payment to National Penn Bank and transfers the title documents to the buyer upon receipt of the payment. 8b. National Penn Bank remits the payment to you. The buyer uses the title documents to take possession of the goods at the agreed upon port. Letter of credit amendments can also be provided if both parties agree. This allows your transaction to have the necessary flexibility. Simply agree on any changes with your customer and have them contact their bank to prepare the amendment. Please note that letters of credit are governed by the most recent version of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) publication "The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits." In addition, you must comply with Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code which is a statutory law. Together these guidelines represent a comprehensive set of rules governing letters of credit. Transferable Letters of Credit Need third party credit? A Transferable Letter of Credit enables the exporter or you as the beneficiary to give instructions to us as the paying bank to make some or all of the credit available to a third party. It is typically used by brokers and middlemen, rather than the ultimate suppliers. Note the diagrams below. The first outlines the issuance and transfer of a letter of credit. The second represents the shipment of goods, negotiation of documents and movement of funds in a transferable letter of credit. Both diagrams are assuming that you are the middleman. Still unsure? Give us a call. We'd be happy to explain further. Bankers' Acceptance Want to offer payment terms to your buyers to penetrate new foreign markets and still get paid quickly? A Bankers' Acceptance may be your answer. This time draft, or future payment, is drawn on and accepted by a bank, making it the accepting bank's obligation to pay you, or the holder of the draft at maturity. This means: you have a reliable funding source, even during tight financial periods with limited direct lending. you'll usually enjoy attractive financing rates since you are leveraging the creditworthiness of the Issuing Bank. exposure to political risk or exchange controls imposed by the buyer's government may be reduced. Our experienced International Trade advisors can customize the Bankers' Acceptance to cover the entire period needed to ship and dispose of the goods financed, helping you break new ground. Export Documentary Collections Facilitate prompt and trouble-free payments from your foreign customers with an option that costs less than a Letter of Credit. When a buyer's creditworthiness is acceptable, an Export Documentary Collection may be the ideal tool to provide for orderly passage of title against payment. It usually consists of a sight or time draft drawn on an importer, accompanied by other documents and instructions. To ensure proper payment, the buyer does not receive the title and shipping documents until the goods are paid for (sight draft) or the buyer agrees to pay for them at a later date (time draft). Collecting payments can be intricate and time-consuming, which means delayed payments to your company. An Export Documentary Collection greatly accelerates the process. Let us help you get started. Standby Letters of Credit Gain peace of mind knowing you'll get paid even if your customer doesn't compensate you directly. A Standby Letter of Credit can ensure that you, as the beneficiary, will be protected in the event of default or nonperformance under contract by another entity. It can also be useful when you're required to post a bid bond, a performance bond, an advance payment bond, or cover a warranty or product acceptance. When opening the Letter, an advising bank is used in addition to the issuing bank to cover contracts between two parties located in different areas. As an exporter, you may ask the buyer to provide a Standby Letter of Credit so you can draw upon it for any unpaid bills. In most cases it's not drawn upon, but serves instead as an important safety net. Government-Sponsored Programs From international trade consulting, loans and loan guarantees to insurance on foreign receivables, Government Programs are in place to give you the wherewithal to accept new business, grow international sales and compete in a global marketplace. You just need to know how to connect. And that's where we can help. From financing for labor and overhead to produce goods to short-term transaction-specific working capital loans, our trusted International Trade advisors have relationships with the Export Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank), the Small Business Administration (SBA) and state and local agencies that can help support your export financing needs.

EQ6 Altitude Adjustment
Posted 08 July 2012 - 09:18 PM
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions or creative solutions to easing my altitude pains?
Posted 08 July 2012 - 09:24 PM
it is not to get them wrench tight just that the leverage
from length gives you fine control. ALWAYS remember to
loosen the opposite side before tightening.

If the problem is that the latitude axis is too stiff to move even when the mount is not loaded, then simply replacing the handles may result in stripping the threaded holes and damaging the tongue that the rods push up against. The best thing to do in this case is to remove the side plates, disassemble the axis, and replace the set screws with thumb screws so that the tightness of the axis can be adjusted. The result looks like this:
Posted 09 July 2012 - 11:36 AM
If the problem is adjusting the mount with the load on it, then, as recommended, you should adjust the mount without the load or phyically lift the head when trying to move it upward and let the weight move it downward.

I am considering a combination of modifications but not until the end of this observing season. First, stainless steel thread inserts. Second custom bolts with rosette knobs. Third, reinforce the "tongue" with an epoxied piece of steel where the bolt makes contact. All of these have been reported here on CN at one time or another.

The OP complained about the difficulty of adjusting the altitude while drift aligning - in order to drift align, you must have the telescope and counterweights on the mount. Still, I have no problem doing it by lifting up on the counterweights while turning the adjustment bolt, as long as I didn't forget to loosen the opposite bolt.
That's exactly what I did last night centering Polaris in the right place in the polar scope on my NEQ6 mount. A few turns on the North facing side and good to go well loosening the other side at the same time. This with the scope and mount fully loaded with weight {3-11 lbs counterweights/37 lbs OTA}
I was going to replace the stock adjusters by the way but after removing one and discovering it was heavy steel I decided it was a waste of cash to replace them after all.
Just remember to lift and adjust and loosen the opposite side and all is fine ....
Posted 10 July 2012 - 01:48 AM
It can be even worse because they can bend slightly and progressively wreck the threads on the mount.
To me its just not worth the headaches of dealing with the problems later so I always say replace them.
The worst I had to deal with was a mount where one bolt in the hands of a novice had been bent about 20' out of line. It was a pleasant sunday needle filing it away as it was bent on both sides of the casings and wouldnt budge either direction.
Even with careful use thay have been known to bend. My HEQ5 was never really under much use or load when I first had it and was handled carefully, mindful of the bendy problems but one of the bolts still bent after only a few outings.

2 stainless steel metric bolts of the same length as stock units and a matching metric wrench to adjust them...done.... $15 buck total
Posted 10 July 2012 - 02:57 PM
Stainless steel bolts at Pacific Fasteners and the matching metric wrench to adjust them directly across the street at Summit Tools...both up the hill on 1 st east of Boundary.
I added some black fabric hockey tape on the wrench for added comfort on the hand for field use.
On a side note when both snugged up now the mount head is completely ROCK SOLID. No flex at all in the head to speak of
P.S. they don't sell any fully threaded ones in metric sizes with hex wrench tool ends so don't even ask

Yes - this mount has been seriously abused BUT in fairnesss my HEQ5 never was, even with just a few nights use when new the bolts started to show signs of bending.
The bolt material is way too soft - though its a perisher to hacksaw just the same and if you strip the threads on the mount its a real pain to fix with stuff like helicoils.
I agree $30 is a lot for two bolts but when I did mine I just couldnt be bothered searching round endless catalogues so just stumped up. My time gets eaten enough without spending more of it on ploughing through engineering sites catalogues of bolts. I did find an alternate supplier who was charging less (£10 for all four) so I spent 40 mins driving there, bought the bolts which were supposed to be super duper aircraft grade blah blah only to find the threads were not correct, manufactured to too sloppy a tolerance and didnt fit. Glorious waste of my time in pursuit of saving a few $$$$.
After that I just though - to **** with it - buy the AstroDev ones like everyone else rather than waste any more time.
With very careful handling the factory supplied bolts might well be ok but most of us at some time have made some glorious mess at 3am when your freezing in a field - I'd like to have a bit of tolerance from the kit rather than a weekends work messing about putting it right. I'd rather be having a frothy coffee and looking at shoe catalogues or having my nails done than going through the hassle of fixing this kind of preventable accident.
Remember this ones an extreme example but the bolt doesnt have to get too far adrift before its uselss and possibly wrecking the mount threads and costing you time and cash - if you get into a real mess whatever you save on the bolts is liklely to be peanuts compared to the cost of putting it right - assuming you value your time and dont have a fetish for iron filings

I'm the lucky one on this side of the pond since i'm a 5 minute drive from both the local shrine of everthing nuts and bolts and the custom tool place right across the street.

Unique and pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!
Hi all,
This post is just to let anyone know who might be interested that a site I've been working on is now open to the public: The Fantasyland Herald.
The Herald is going to try and tell the story of an archetypical fantasy world through the medium of a trashy online newspaper. It's still early days - we only launched on Monday - and we're figuring out some things as we go, but over time it'll hopefully turn into something very exciting.
If anyone's interested in contributing after taking a look at the site, let me know and I'll provide more information on the kind of things we need.
Unique and pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

Home > Surgical Procedures > Microdiscectomy Spine Surgery
1325 S Cliff AvenueSioux Falls, SD 57117-5045View a map605-322-8000
A microdiscectomy is a procedure that removes a small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or the disc material from under the nerve root. This process alleviates neural impingement and allows sufficient room for the nerve to heal. The procedure is typically performed for a herniated lumbar disc and is much more effective for treating leg pain than lower back pain.
Pressure on the nerve root can cause substantial leg pain. Despite it taking several weeks or months for the nerve root to completely heal and any numbness or weakness to improve, patients often feel relief from leg pain almost instantly following a microdiscectomy.
If leg pain due to a disc herniation is going to improve, it will do so in roughly 6 to 12 weeks. If the pain is tolerable and/or you can function properly, it is typically advisable to postpone back surgery to see if the pain will subside with non-surgical treatments. If the pain does not improve with nonsurgical treatments, a microdiscectomy surgery may be suggested to alleviate pressure on the nerve root and accelerate the healing process. Immediate spine surgery is only necessary in cases of bowel/bladder incontinence or progressive neurological deficits.
A microdiscectomy is often recommended for patients who have experienced leg pain for a minimum of six weeks or who have not found pain relief with treatments such as physical therapy or oral steroids.
A microdiscectomy is performed though a 1 inch to 1 ½ inch incision in the midline of the lower back. The back muscles are raised off the bony arch of the spine. The surgeon is then able to enter the spine by eradicating a membrane over the nerve roots, and uses either operating glasses or an operating microscope to see the nerve root. A small portion of the inside facet joint is often removed both to ease the access to the nerve root and to relieve pressure over the nerve. The nerve root is then moved to the side and the disc material is removed from under the nerve root. A microdiscectomy does not change the mechanical structure of the lower spine.
A microdiscectomy is usually performed on an outpatient basis. No overnight stay is required. Some surgeons restrict a patient from twisting, lifting or bending for the first six weeks after surgery. However, it is reasonable to return to a normal level of functioning after a microdiscectomy.
The success rate for microdiscectomy spine surgery is approximately 90% to 95%.
The potential risks and complications for a microdiscectomy are quite rare. They include:
An exercise program of stretching, strengthening, and aerobic conditioning is advised to prevent a recurrence of back pain or disc herniation.

I have had two of these. Both flooded, but Ive never flooded a camera. These were early sl971s. How have they been re-designed. Was easy flooding an issue. Thanks Joe
Hello Joe, to get the tech spec's for those you would need to contact the manufacture directly. Here is there contact information you need: Sealife Service Center c/o Pioneer Research 97 Foster Road, Suite 5 Moorestown, NJ 08057 Tel: (856) 866-9191 Email: email@example.com
will the Pro Flash work with a Cannon SD780IS in a WP-DC31 Waterproof Case for SD780IS Digital Elph Camera?
I have a DC800 with single Sealife digital pro flash, and its a few years old. I want to add another flash. Does Scuba.com sell a base tray that can handle two flashes? And is that all Ill need to add another flash?
The Digital Pro Flash will come complete with a strobe head, arm and tray. You'll need to add the longer Sealife Mounting Screw for 2 accessories (or the 3 accessory version if you are using the wide angle lens caddy as well) found at http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-516/068539/Sealife-Mounting-Screw-Flash-Base-Attachment-Knob.html
I just returned from Grand Cayman where I used my SeaLife ReefMaster Mini Underwater Camera (SL332) and SeaLife Digital Pro Flash for the first time. With the Pro Flash my pictures are all over-exposed, washed out, with insufficient detail and too much scatter at times. I have set everything as recommended in the manuals for the camera and flash: On the camera I used easy setup to set to Underwater Camera and Flash and I set the flash switches inside to "0" (pre-flash setting) and "1" (auto bright) and the dial is set to the far left ("A" with the sun image). What am I doing wrong? On a very shallow dive (12 feet) I used the camera alone, set to no flash. Again the images lack saturation but I was able to fix them a bit in Mac Photos.
Provides deeper, richer colors and reduces backscatter
Works with all SeaLife cameras as well as other brands of cameras that have up to 4 pre-flashes
New Auto Mode setting automatically adjusts flash brightness for optimal image exposure
Depth rated to 200 ft / 60 m

Sealife Digital Pro Flash was designed specifically for underwater digital photography. Whether mounted up with the DC1400, the new Reefmaster Mini 2.1 or another manufacturer's camera and housing, the SL961 Digital Pro Flash will aid with color correction and illumination of underwater photographs. The strobe is designed for any level of user, offering variable power adjustments allowing the manual fine tuning of the flash power or a new Auto Mode setting that adjusts the brightness of the flash automatically to give the diver the perfect exposure of their shot. According to Melinda Herndon, an Instructor with eScuba.com, "Even at shallow depths water begins to absorb the red, orange and yellow color ranges very quickly leaving us with very blue looking photos. The Sealife Digital Pro Flash replaces these colors with a bright, natural light to give even new photographers vibrant colorful images." Designed to be the most universally versatile strobe available for divers and snorkelers it is powered by 4 AA batteries, and comes packaged with a fiber optic cable that is adaptable to any camera using a flash or pre-flash, the tray to secure it to any camera/housing equipped with a tripod mount, a flexible, ball-joint arm offering limitless aiming possibilities and a deluxe carry case with strap all at $349.
This powerful strobe boasts a depth rating of 60 meters and up to 100 flashes on a new set of batteries. It is packed into a fairly compact case measuring 2.4cm wide x 3.1cm long x 1.6cm tall and weighs just a little more than 1.8 kg making it a perfect choice for local dive tips or the travelling diver alike. States Melinda, "Being small and relatively light compared to other similar products means it will always be easy to pack and its owner will not have to worry about it being in the way on a dive or about airline baggage restrictions when packing to travel."

Deputies jail three, look for fourth, from parking lot brawl
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 2:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 2:56 p.m.
MARION OAKS — Three of the four people involved in a brawl in the parking lot of a gas station on Thanksgiving Day were arrested. Deputies are looking for the fourth person.
Deputy Lisa Azure met with Carlos Luis Aguirre, 45, and his son Carlos Aguirre Jr. at the BP gas station at 168 Marion Oaks Blvd. The elder Aguirre said he saw his estranged wife, Shayla N. Aguirre, 25, sitting in a vehicle in the parking lot. He said he walked toward the store when he saw her boyfriend, George Lowery Jr., 25, coming out of the station.
Aguirre alleged that Lowery punched him for no reason, and said his son intervened. During the altercation, he said, his wife hit his son, who is her stepson, with a baseball bat.
The younger Aguirre, who had minor injuries on his face, back and knees, told the deputy a similar story. He was taken to TimberRidge Hospital for treatment.
Lowery told the deputy he came out of the store and the elder Aguirre approached him screaming and yelling, and began hitting him. He claims Aguirre Jr. displayed a knife, so he attempted to get a baseball bat from his vehicle. He said Aguirre Jr. kicked him, and his girlfriend hit her stepson with the bat.
The woman told the deputy her husband yelled at her and when he saw Lowery, both he and his son attacked him. She said she protected Lowery, but wouldn't explain how.
The deputy reviewed store video and saw the elder Aguirre walk to the vehicle his wife was sitting in and engage in a conversation. He then went to the front of the store, where he saw Lowery and they began fighting.
The video shows Aguirre Jr. hitting Lowery, and Shayla N. Aguirre hitting her husband and stepson, as well as Lowery opening the back door of his vehicle and reaching for some type of object.
The four continued to fight until Shayla N. Aguirre and Lowery left the scene and called 911.
Found inside Lowery's vehicle were a knife, a baseball bat and a loaded semi-automatic handgun.
Azure and other deputies arrested Shayla N. Aguirre and charged her with aggravated battery and also possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, based on a 2007 battery conviction and because she told them she knew the gun was in the vehicle.
They charged Carlos Aguirre with felony battery and Lowery with simple battery.
All three were taken to the Marion County Jail.
When deputies went to the hospital to see Aguirre Jr., he had fled the area. They are searching for him, and anyone with information as to his whereabouts can call the Sheriff's Office at 732-9111 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

Social Enterprises, Social Entrepreneurs, Not for profits... they all have one thing in common - they combine business with social goals. But what are the differences?
Or what if you don't identify with these business models, but you are interested in giving back?
Or perhaps your not for profit business model isn't working for your organization anymore?
As the first province in Canada to introduce a hybrid corporation for companies who incorporate community contribution into their business, and the social enterprise sector growing rapidly in BC, it's a good time to start asking these questions.
Join us for lunch on Friday, May 27th at the Hotel Eldorado for an interactive panel discussion by four of Kelowna's most knowledgeable 'social enterprisers', as we recognize BC Social Enterprise Month.
Discussion will be moderated by Dr. Kyleen Myrah, Professor of Business at Okanagan College, teaching in the areas of management, marketing and social entrepreneurship.
The Annual Kelowna Chamber Golf Tournament is always a fave. This year, the planning committee got together early to implement some fresh ideas.
The tournament has always had a giving component - a couple of different fundraisers going to different charities. The "Pro Takes a Shot" contest is a hole contest, where players can choose to have the course's golf pro take their shot for a small donation. The other contest for charity is a raffle for Westjet tickets.
This year the committee has added in a third fundraiser, a 50/50 at dinner. Instead of choosing separate charities for each contest as in the past, the committee will choose one children's charity that all the funds raised will go to support, creating a larger impact!
What else is different this year? Well the course of course! We will be at stunning Harvest Golf Club this year! We are looking forward to the scenery and service that this fabulous Club has to offer.
Another notable improvement this year? We have changed the day of the week this tournament falls on. Instead of cutting into your weekend on a Friday night, this tournament will be on a Wednesday, breaking up the week after a long weekend. The 3rd week of May is shaping up to a pretty stellar week!
You might also notice a theme at this year's tournament, but to find out what it is - you'll just have to join us!
Some aspects that won't change - the chance to win quality prizes and the fun times this day always brings! Mark it in your calendar - May 25th!! Oh and if you sign up by May 4th, you'll be entered in a draw for a future round of golf & carts for you and 3 pals at The Harvest!

On March 8, the Kelowna Chamber partnered with the Urban Development Institute in Kelowna to host a discussion on ending homelessness and supporting affordable housing. The Chamber sees its role as working with experts in housing and social services to support an end to homelessness.
There are business reasons for being interested in affordable housing. At our discussion in March, data from 2011 was presented by the BC Non-Profit Housing Association that summarized the rental market, the cost of housing, and home ownership. These costs are more than most people can afford. Additionally, current housing stock is aging, and new builds aren't keeping pace with the demographic trends.
Housing accounts for 23 per cent of BC GDP. If we grow housing, we grow the economy. We recognize that rental housing is critical: it is certainly central for labour mobility and immigration. The magic figure of 30 per cent of income is what people should be spending out of their income, on their housing needs. More than this straps households, and the necessities of food, clothing and transportation fall by the wayside.
The reality of the labour market is that some people make lower wages than others, yet are critical to our labour pool. These workers and community residents need affordable housing, and need it in order to work, to continue to contribute to the economy, and to avoid the risk of becoming homeless.
New housing must be addressed by developers and by municipal governments, among others. Pathways include unlocking land – with a look at federal, provincial and municipal policies, and removing barriers to change; design and innovation in mixed use or modular construction; operations and maintenance to keep running costs affordable; and finally financing needs to be barrier-free.
These requirements and needs intersect with the business plans and practices of many of our members. We want these members all to be aware and working on solutions that will enhance their own success.
Homelessness costs the Canadian economy $8 billion annually.
Is homelessness solvable? Yes. For instance, during the 2003 fires in Kelowna, a system was mobilized that incorporated strong local leadership, emergency response, multiple system coordination, and housing that was focused on community mobilization.
The same type of plan could be designed to end homelessness, and help deal with the overall problem. At the same time, creating such a plan will assist municipal and provincial planners to assist in ensuring that the people working in the Kelowna job market are able to better manage their income, and their housing finance outlays, especially at critical points in their work lives.
There is another side to homelessness that has implications for business: the expenditure of tax dollars to band-aid solve a chronic problem. The cost of social services, of mental health interventions, in some cases prison, of emergency rooms, hospital stays, and other physical and mental rehabilitation programs – not to mention short-term housing care – definitely adds up. These are social tax dollars that our businesses pay out as part of doing business in Kelowna.
By shifting our focus to prevention and solutions, we build a better community, re-direct tax dollars to more effective programs that have true long-term resonance in the community, and overall, improve the business and residential environment.
This shift in focus from crisis to solution can only build a stronger work setting. Numerous ongoing initiatives are already in place, and with a concerted effort at coordination, these initiatives will continue the good work already underway in Kelowna to address the problem.
Councillor Luke Stack says that with funding secured by previous Mayors and Councils, four social housing projects — the Cardington Apartments on St. Paul Street downtown, Willowbridge, operated by the Canadian Mental Health Association, the NOW apartment building in South Pandosy and Rutland's Newgate Apartments run by the John Howard Society — all became part of the City's social housing fabric.
Provincially, former Premier Gordon Campbell called for mayors to address the ongoing problem of homeless, and "get serious". Kelowna's Mayors Gray, Shepherd and Basran all have played their parts in doing this. There is also a Kelowna Housing Opportunities Fund that encourages new affordable housing. This program should be ongoing, and function hand in hand with developers.
In closing, affordable housing can help Kelowna remain a hub for all types of businesses, both well-established and start-up; can help workers in the service industry find stability on lower incomes; and can overall help businesspeople manage their staffs, their HR needs, and their community contributions toward fixing this systemic need.
Anyone who has ever tried tracing their family tree knows what a thrill it is to find the names of their ancestors on official documents. It can be like finding a needle in a haystack or striking gold.
One of the best sources of official information is the census. Censuses have been used for centuries to record information about mothers, fathers, children, and peoples' ways of life, income and occupations. To see the name, address and profession of an ancestor who lived a hundred years ago or more can be quite exhilarating.
The first census in Canada was conducted by Jean Talon, a civil administrator, in 1666. The census counted all 3,215 inhabitants of European descent and logged their age, sex, marital status and occupation. Talon conducted the census to gather information that would help plan and develop the colony.
In fact, Talon was so committed to the process that he collected much of the information personally, visiting settlers throughout the colony.
The rest, as they say, is history, Canadian history. The census has evolved over time into the modern census we have now that takes place every five years. This year marks the 350 year anniversary of the first census.
To make it easier for your descendants to trace their family tree 100 years from now (census records are kept sealed for 92 years), jot down May 2 in your calendar this year. You will be receiving a package in the mail inviting you to complete the census online or on paper.
The 2016 Census is mandatory for all Canadians. Three in four households will receive a short-form census, while one out of four will receive the long-form census. The only difference between the two is more detailed questions in the long-form, about things like citizenship and immigration status, birthplace of parents, education, income, housing, child care and other support payments and employment history.
Kelowna is home to many beautiful things, the mountains, the lake, the vineyards, the golf courses, and just as those things need help looking and staying beautiful so do Kelowna's residents.
Pamper yourself at the many spas in the area. Find your favourite and stick to it or try them all! Kelowna also offers a wide variety of hair and nail salons, laser hair removal, plastic surgery, massage therapists, yoga studios and fitness centres.
Wow, with all of these personal services, you'll be looking like a celebrity in no time!
