When I think about seersucker the below image is the first thing that comes to me...seersucker suits are a classic, fresh look in the southern summer heat. But, what about seersucker in the bedroom?
Matouk has a great collection of seersucker bed linens - The coverlets are whisper thin and perfect for summer nights. These would also make great additions to beach homes.
Or, you could simply go for a cool robe in soft colors like white, petal, willow, truffle or blue. It also packs well since it's supposed to be a bit wrinkled and crinkled.
Just be sure to have plenty of this on hand...
Wishing you all a REFRESHING weekend!

So you think it's as simple as grabbing the
gun and pulling the trigger, eh?
me this then - what types of welding are there?
Not completely sure? read on...
Welding (ESW) deposits the weld metal into the
weld cavity between the two plates to be joined.
This space is enclosed by water cooled copper
dams or shoes to prevent molten slag from running
off. The weld metal is produced from a filler
wire that forms an initial arc with the workpiece
until a sufficient pool of liquid metal is formed
to use the electrical resistance of the molten
process requires special equipment used primarily
for horizontal welds of very large plates up
to 36 inches or more by welding them in one
pass as in large machinery and nuclear reactor
are also variations of ESW where shielding is
provided by an appropriate gas and a continuous
arc is used to provide weld metal. These are
termed Electrogas Welding or EGW machines.
to view larger JPEG. Fluxed-Core Arc-Welding
(FCAW) uses a tubular electrode filled with
flux that is much less brittle than the coatings
on SMAW electrodes while preserving most of
its potential alloying benefits.
emissive fluxes used shield the weld arc from
surrounding air, or shielding gases are used
and nonemissive fluxes are employed. The higher
weld-metal deposition rate of FCAW over GMAW
(Gas Metal Arc Welding) has led to its popularity
in joining relatively heavy sections of 1"
or thicker.
major advantage of FCAW is the ease with which
specific weld-metal alloy chemistries can be
developed. The process is also easily automated,
especially with the new robotic systems.
to view larger JPEG. Gas Metal-Arc Welding (GMAW),
also called Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, shields
the weld zone with an external gas such as argon,
helium, carbon dioxide, or gas mixtures. Deoxidizers
present in the electrode can completely prevent
oxidation in the weld puddle, making multiple
weld layers possible at the joint.
is a relatively simple, versatile, and economical
welding apparatus to use. This is due to the
factor of 2 welding productivity over SMAW processes.
In addition, the temperatures involved in GMAW
are relatively low and are therefore suitable
for thin sheet and sections less than ¼
may be easily automated, and lends itself readily
to robotic methods. It has virtually replaced
SMAW in present-day welding operations in manufacturing
to view larger JPEG. Gas Tungsten-Arc Welding
(GTAW), also known as Tungsten Inert Gas or
TIG welding, uses tungsten electrodes as one
pole of the arc to generate the heat required.
The gas is usually argon, helium, or a mixture
of the two. A filler wire provides the molten
material if necessary.
GTAW process is especially suited to thin materials
producing welds of excellent quality and surface
finish. Filler wire is usually selected to be
similar in composition to the materials being
Hydrogen Welding (AHW) is similar and uses an
arc between two tungsten or carbon electrodes
in a shielding atmosphere of hydrogen. Therefore,
the work piece is not part of the electrical

uses electrodes and ionized gases to generate
an extremely hot plasma jet aimed at the weld
area. The higher energy concentration is useful
for deeper and narrower welds and increased
welding speed.
to view larger JPEG. Shielded-Metal Arc Welding
(SMAW) is one of the oldest, simplest, and most
versatile arc welding processes. The arc is
generated by touching the tip of a coated electrode
to the workpiece and withdrawing it quickly
to an appropriate distance to maintain the arc.
The heat generated melts a portion of the electrode
tip, its coating, and the base metal in the
immediate area. The weld forms out of the alloy
of these materials as they solidify in the weld
area. Slag formed to protect the weld against
forming oxides, nitrides, and inclusions must
be removed after each pass to ensure a good
SMAW process has the advantage of being relatively
simple, only requiring a power supply, power
cables, and electrode holder. It is commonly
used in construction, shipbuilding, and pipeline
work, especially in remote locations.
to view larger JPEG. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
shields the weld arc using a granular flux fed
into the weld zone forming a thick layer that
completely covers the molten zone and prevents
spatter and sparks. It also acts as a thermal
insulator, permitting deeper heat penetration.
process is obviously limited to welding in a
horizontal position and is widely used for relatively
high speed sheet or plate steel welding in either
automatic or semiautomatic configurations. The
flux can be recovered, treated, and reused.
Arc Welding provides very high welding productivity....4-10
times as much as the Shielded Metal Arc Welding
MIG-process uses a direct current power source,
with the electrode positive (DC, EP). By using
a positive electrode, the oxide layer is efficiently
removed from the aluminium surface, which is
essential for avoiding lack of fusion and oxide
inclusions. The metal is transferred from the
filler wire to the weld bead by magnetic forces
as small droplets spray transfer. This gives
a deep penetration capability to the process
and makes it possible to weld in all positions.
It is important for the quality of the weld
that the spray transfer is obtained.
are two different MIG-welding processes, conventional
MIG and pulsed MIG:
MIG uses a constant voltage DC power
source. Since the spray transfer is limited
to a certain range of arc current, the conventional
MIG process has a lower limit of arc current
(or heat input). This also limits the application
of conventional MIG to weld material thicknesses
above 4 mm. Below 6 mm it is recommended that
backing is used to control the weld bead.
MIG uses a DC power source with superimposed
periodic pulses of high current. During the
low current level the arc is maintained without
metal transfer. During the high current pulses
the metal is transferred in the spray mode.
In this way pulsed MIG is possible to operate
with lower average current and heat input compared
to conventional MIG. This makes it possible
to weld thinner sections and weld much more
easily in difficult welding positions.
most used power source for TIG-welding generates
alternating current (AC). Direct current can
be used, but due to high heat generation on
the tungsten electrode when DC-EP (electrode
positive) welding, that particular polarity
is not feasible. In some cases DC-EN (electrode
negative) is used, however, this requires special
attention before welding, due to the arc's poor
oxide cleaning action.
TIG-welding usually uses argon as a shielding
gas. The process is a multi purpose process,
which offers the user great flexibility. By
changing the diameter of the tungsten electrode,
welding may be performed with a wide range of
heat input at different thicknesses. AC TIG-welding
is possible with thicknesses down to about 0,5
mm. For larger thicknesses, > 5 mm, AC TIG-welding
is less economical compared to MIG-welding due
to lower welding speed.
TIG-welding with electrode negative is used
for welding thicknesses above 4 mm. The negative
electrode gives a poor oxide cleaning compared
to AC-TIG and MIG, and special cleaning of joint
surfaces is necessary. The process usually uses
helium shielding gas. This gives a better penetration
in thicker sections. DC TIG-welding is applicable
for welding thicknesses in the range 0,3 - 12
mm. More and more popular is also pulsed DC
TIG-welding, which makes it possible to weld
uniform welds with deeper penetration at the
same heat input. Pulse frequency is usually
in the range 1 - 10 Hz.

(NBC) - Health officials now recommend that people at high risk for HIV take a daily pill to help prevent it.
The new guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were announced Wednesday.
The recommended drug, Truvada, is already used to treat HIV, and has shown to be 90 percent effective in reducing new infections.
Doctors are encouraged to prescribe Truvada for patients who have an HIV positive partner, or who have unprotected sex with people at risk for HIV.
Users should have an HIV test before beginning this treatment, to be sure they're not already infected.
The CDC says about 50,000 people are diagnosed with HIV each year.

breaking the cycle of nighttime binge eating
Friday, March 27, 2009
Someone had posted a story about their unhealthy relationship with food. I too have read almost every weightloss book there is but fall a bit short when it comes down to committing to a particular plan. I guess I like to live a bit spontaneous but I think it has to do more with I don't want to be dictated what or how much I should eat. There are many reasons why I eat but what really drives me nuts is that I feel addicted to food (my mind is thinking so often about food, what I'm craving, what I can make for dinner, when I can get to the grocery store next, what recipes can I find about some item that I'm now craving).
I try to sneek my nighttime eating but once I get started I'm just not feeling finished. I don't want to be seen and actually get a bit mad if I'm caught. So far I'm not sure how and if my mind can be retrained or ever free of this. Where are the "Quit Eating" support groups - health care has 1 for just about everything else!
I've learned that my addiction to food had me watching Food Network and food shows were driving me to eat for most of the evening. Now I limit that channel to a very specific 1 show per week. That has helped. I haven't been able to stop my night eating which hampers weight loss, but what I realized when I was at a hotel for work for a week was that it is strongly linked to my home environment and that I felt freed up and less food-crazy when I wasn't there. So maybe getting outside for a minute of fresh air could be an alternative to refocus and stop the cycle?
I don't know, but what I do know is that I want to end this cycle of nighttime binge eating! And I really am at a loss for what to do, so I'll be searching for ideas.

I know this blog was from a while ago - but I was looking up the late night eating and it popped up. I'm a night time binger as well - and when I lived with someone it wasn't so bad, because it was secret and I didn't want to get caught. But then I moved out and I've gained about 30 lbs back! I changed my meal plan to include one "meal" after 10 pm. It's really helped me a lot. I'm also trying to keep busier at night, I signed up for a class and then go to the gym after that - so I don't have quite so much time at home alone in the evenings.
I know if I'm just feeling crazy unsatisfied that if I can make myself fall asleep, even if it's just a nap, it helps - though that's really hard at times.
good luck!

I suffer the same too and trying to get it under controll. I will go few months without over eating and then something happens to upset my thought process and before I know it I have eaten way too much calories.
Most times I secret eat.. when my husband is not around. Finding Sparks have made my life change. I will have slip up ones in awhile but not so often. BUT logging all my food as really opened up my eyes and now I see just how much of a damage I have caused.
It gets eaiser and eaiser everyday..just hang in there.

I'm that same way too. Food as a reward even if it isjust for getting thru work day. Someone suggested a website so I started to explore and hopefully will be able to turn this around.
So far I know NES fits me to a T (I remember my mom needing to wake up at midnight to eat just to get back to sleep). There must be some genetic or impressed behavior...emotional eating and compulsive overeating are close 2nds. I know what you mean about still eating something but chosing to make it light. I'll work on putting that into action. It will be a challenge even tonite. I am just now leaving work (an unusual late one - computer process was running unusually slow and I have a deadline to meet) but when I get home I'm wanting to eat just to relax myself too! Thanks for your thoughts!
Here's the Merck Manual definition and conclusion about treatment. (1982 ed.) p.917:
"Night Eating Syndrome consists of morning anorexia, evening hyperphagia (abnormally increased appetite for consumption of food frequently associated with injury to the hypothalamus) and insomnia. "

You and I have the same challenge as to night time eating. It's like a reward for me. ........somewhat like a pacifier. Although I have cut down considerably eating late night, I still have to have something before I go to bed. It's much lighter and healther than what I was eating before. Hopefully, I can stop eating after 8:00 or 9:00 p.m.
As far as night time eating, II have simply traded one bad habit for another----------night time eating.

(CNN) - Inspiration can come from unlikely places. Brian Flemming found the will to change his life in a drawing game.
Flemming was addicted to alcohol, severely morbidly obese and full of self-pity when he met Jackie Eastham through a random match on Draw Something, the Pictionary-like mobile game. It was the spring of 2012. Most nights Flemming drank around a fifth vodka mixed with a liter of soda while he zoned out in front of the TV.
The last time he had been weighed, on a special scale at the hospital, he was 625 pounds.
Eastham lived in England and was 20 years Flemming's senior. At first, the players shared casual banter between rounds. Their friendship eventually moved to Facebook, where they began to confide in each other.
Flemming was at a low point. Besides being an alcoholic and morbidly obese, he was pre-diabetic and had a recurring cellulitis infection.
Eastham was the first person he was totally honest with, no one in his life knew about the drinking. He expected sympathy.
But she wasn't having it.
It was personal for Eastham, who lives with myotonic dystrophy, an inherited type of muscular dystrophy that causes progressive muscle weakness and can affect various systems and organs. Her symptoms have been relatively mild so far, but she never takes her health for granted.
It was the wake-up call Flemming needed. He'd show her he could change. That day, Oct. 13, 2012, he vowed to quit drinking cold turkey.
That was the first step toward what would become a remarkable transformation. Less than two years later, Flemming has lost more than 380 pounds from his 6 foot 2 frame. He went from a size 60 waist to a size 38.
The days after he gave up alcohol were grueling, he said. He had cold sweats, shaky hands and couldn't sleep. He kept busy to distract himself and found comfort in daily chats with Eastham.
They progressed from Facebook to Skype video chats, where Eastham said she was initially shocked by his size.
The weight began to fall off. Without the extra calories from alcohol, Flemming lost 100 pounds in a couple months. That was motivation enough to make other changes. He had been consuming upwards of 7,000 calories a day, according to an app he used to record his meals. He stopped eating fast food and cut out sugar and red meat.
Now, a typical day for Flemming starts with a few ounces of low or no-sodium turkey breast, a serving of dry cereal, a bowl of non-fat Greek yogurt with artificial sweetener and a glass of low-sodium vegetable juice.
For lunch and dinner, he often eats chicken and vegetables with rice. And every Friday night, he treats himself to a scoop of ice cream. Now that he's doing more exercise, he's not as strict about his diet.
Adding in physical activity was a gradual process. Flemming says he began by walking in place in his parents' basement for five minutes a day every morning, adding minutes as he felt ready. When he was finally comfortable to exercise outside, he only went when it was dark and the neighbors couldn't see him. Eastham kept him company on Skype sometimes while he walked.
In July 2013, he walked his first half-marathon. Shortly after that he took up cycling, and then running, completing his third 5-kilometer run on his birthday a few weeks ago. He used running and calorie tracker apps to stay accountable and started seeing a psychotherapist to manage his depression and make sure he was approaching his weight loss in a healthy way.
Eastham said she encouraged it, not wanting him to be dependent on their friendship to stay sober and motivated.
Flemming is now down to 234 pounds, with about 30 pounds of excess skin around his waist. He's trying to save the money for surgery to have it removed.
This past December, he went to Europe and finally met Eastham in person, where he was able to climb the Eiffel Tower after barely being able to walk up a flight of stairs less than two years earlier. They continue to talk every day, and are still playing Draw Something.
Flemming now hopes to go back to school to become a therapist specializing in weight loss, depression and anxiety.
Visit Brian Flemming's Facebook group to follow his journey. He invites readers to share their own stories about weight loss, addiction and eating disorders there.

Buzz's Earth Day Advice
Today is Earth Day. People sometimes ask me, "Buzz, what is one thing I can do to help save the planet?" If I could give one piece of advice on how we can all help the planet it would be this …
PLEASE, PLEASE … everyone honor Earth Day today by running their air conditioner at full blast and opening every window in your house.
Also, if you're driving in your car, do your part by cranking the AC as high as it will go and roll those windows down.
You see, one of the biggest problems facing our environment is "Global Warming." "Global Warming" is the phenomenon in which the entire globe is becoming warmer. That is why they call it "Global Warming."
We should all do our part to reverse this trend and, together, make the world a cooler place. How can we do that? By not hoarding all of the cool air to ourselves! Open the windows, open the doors and run your AC as high as you possibly can. If we all work together, people, we can one day keep the globe at a comfortable 71 degrees at all times. This is a condition scientists call "Global Comfort."
But, I can't do it all by myself. And all I'm asking for is just … one … day. One day of blasting as much cold arctic air right out into the environment. Maybe one day won't solve ALL of the "Global Warming," but at least it's a start, right?
So please, please, for the sake of the children, stop hogging all that cold air to yourself and think of the planet for once! Happy Earth Day!!

Here is part 1 of Celinabean's first pesto taste-off.
So the results, eh? Soon. First, here's how we did it.
The taste-off was restricted to off-the-shelf pesto that was readily available in the Albany area. The Wine Bar and Bistro's chef/owner Kevin Everleth agreed to host our party even though he swears he's never bought off-the-shelf pesto.
The tasting was blind. The judges didn't know which brands they were tasting, nor did they know what brands had been entered in the contest.
Everyone tasted each pesto at least twice. We tasted samples on little pieces of ciabatta. There was some discussion of how a pesto's flavor changes when you put it on hot pasta. Truth be told, I couldn't figure out the logistics of serving the samples on pasta, and some of the judges felt that it was better to sample it pure anyway.
Each judge ranked the samples from first to last. Then we added up the scores. The lowest score was the winner.
And the drumroll please.....
The clear winner was Buddhapesto.
Price: $7 - $8
Where you can buy it: Troy Framers Market (ironically this is the most expensive spot.) Honest Weight Coop, EATS, and other locations
What the judges said: Most of the judges loved this one…
My taste buds did a dance…it tastes like spring … bright and sparkly… nice texture …this one popped… great blend of flavors, especially the parsley-basil blend
But not everyone, in fact, one judge had it close to the bottom. Meh .. just average … not enough salt… it just kind of sat there.
Second place was a tie in points, but the comments favored Via Fresca.
Via Fresca's pesto
Price: About $4.20 for an 8-oz package, $8.59/lb
Where you can buy it: Via Fresca, 1166 Western Avenue (just after Crossgates on the left if you are heading out of Albany, look for the blue sign.)
What the judges said: This was also very popular and some of the judges had it ranked number one. The texture, which is very smooth, brought it down for some who like a chunkier pesto.
Great, deep full flavors that play nicely off each other …very tasty … a perfect combination of flavors, but a little too green…too thin and smooth.
Sharing the #2 spot was ...
Whole in the Wall garlic-spike pesto
Price: $4.50 - $5.50 for a 5.5 oz container
Where you can buy it: Honest Weight Coop, EATS, Indian Ladder Farms, other locations
What the judges said:
Note: We didn't know whether to include this one because it is not their basic pesto, but after visiting three different stores we couldn't find any of the basic variety. The garlic is very intense compared to the others, but that is a given in this case. Some of the other comments included:
Middle of the pack … nice but nothing special … texture is a little mushy.
Third place went to Cardona's.
Cardona's pesto
Price: $6.99 for 16-oz jar. This is a much larger jar than the other brands. You get twice as much (or more) than the other packages.
Where you can buy it: Cardona's, 340 Delaware Ave., Albany
What the judges said:
Middle of the pack…very tasty…yummy basic pesto… very thin.
Classico took fourth place.
Classico traditional pesto
Price: $2.99 - $4.99
Where you can buy it: Major supermarkets like Price Chopper and Hannaford
What the judges said: Most of the judges ranked it close to the bottom, but one judge loved it and put it as the standout at the top. It has a tang to it, which was a love-hate thing for the judges.
It tasted old…blah…don't like the tang…it is sour… this one made me gag …loved it …this was my favorite by far…nice texture … the flavors come alive.

Ciro Naturals classic basil pesto
Price: $5.49 for a 6-oz container
Where you can buy it: Honest Weight Coop, 484 Central Ave, Albany
What the judges said: This was the only pesto that drew a complete consensus: Yuck!
It's pasty…terrible texture…looks like old pesto and tastes even worse…horrible flavors
Yay for Buddhapesto! I discovered this little jem last year at the farmer's market and could probably eat the whole container in one sitting. It's pricey, but well worth it.
Celina, thank you again for putting this all together! It was insanely fun and obviously tasty (except for the Classico).
I've never done a blind taste testing - I think it really helped judge which one you liked the best!
I'd very much like you to join the conversation. The only rule: treat everyone else in the conversation with kindness and respect. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks!

In shocking news, a great white shark bit a swimmer in California. On Saturday, Reuters shared about what happened when a 7 foot white shark bit a man. This all went down at Manhattan Beach in Southern California where you would never expect to have a shark or need to be worried about something happening.
Luckily for the guy the shark bit him on the upper torso. After biting him, the shark released him and went on. This could have been a lot worse for the swimmer and he is a very lucky man to still be alive at this time. He did have a wound but was taken to the hospital and was doing fine.
Lifeguards do watch in this area and people are always swimming. The fact that the shark attacked made them decide to wait to watch it swim out to sea and not let anyone in the water for a bit. They kept everyone out of the water for about an hour after the attack. Shark attacks in this area are said to be very rare.
People do sometimes catch smaller sharks in this area when they are swimming. They do know that they are in the area but an attack isn't something that happens very often. Normally they stay far enough out in the water and don't bother anyone. They believe that this same shark may have been caught by a fisherman earlier in the day and then released.
CBS Local shared a bit more information about the big attack. The man was in critical condition to begin with but is now considered stable. It was a two mile stretch of beach that had to be shut down after the big attack. A sheriff's helicopter flew over the area making sure to warn all of the swimmers to get out of the water. They have not released the name of the victim yet.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Work crews from the Birmingham Public Works Department and Crane Works today installed a bronze and steel statue honoring the four girls killed in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church today.
The statue was set into place Thursday morning on the corner of Sixteenth Street and Sixth Avenue North in Kelly Ingram Park across the street from the church.
Curious onlookers made pictures and videos as workers drilled holes and lifted the 3,000 pound statue with a crane that was set up along Sixteenth Street North.
The life-size sculpture was erected at Mussi Artworks Foundry in Berkley, California by sculptor and Birmingham native Elizabeth MacQueen.
A public unveiling ceremony will take place Saturday at 4 p.m.

Harry Agensky (Kirk Douglas) is a one-time welterweight boxing champion who lives in Canada with his son Moses (Kurt Fuller). Harry's other son, Lance (Dan Aykroyd), feels that his father never really cared about his dreams and ambitions, and now Lance has little affection for his Dad. However, Lance's relationship with his teenage son Michael (Corbin Allred) is not faring much better. Lonely since the death of his wife and infirm due to a stroke, Harry wants to retire to a ranch in Northern Canada, but he can't afford the property. Lance invites Harry along for a skiing trip with Michael; Harry agrees, but at the last minute he talks them into going to Nevada instead. Harry claims he threw a fight years ago and was paid off in a cache of diamonds that he hid somewhere in Vegas; if he can find the gems, he'll be able to buy the ranch. Lance is dubious, but he gives in to Harry's determination and the three head for Nevada, hoping to find both the diamonds and some common ground. Diamonds was Kirk Douglas's first film after a life-threatening stroke in 1997; Lauren Bacall appears in a small role as a madam in a Nevada brothel, marking her first appearance onscreen with Douglas since Young Man with a Horn in 1950.
Consensus: Kirk Douglas' flinty performance fails to overshadow an otherwise dull and cliche-ridden affair.
Inappropriate for audiences of all ages.Full review…
Douglas struggles honorably with his stoke-impaired speech and a shoddy story.
Sadly, Kirk Douglas' real-life stroke is the most compelling ingredient in Miramax's new cobbled-together caper flick.Full review…
Diamonds can be proud of its achievement as the ultimate primer on elderly embarrassments and the best ways to exploit them.
I have to admit I shed some sentimental tears during the movie, so it's not really very bad at all, but it could have used a script polish.
Even in his prime, Douglas couldn't have saved himself from this cliche-ridden script.Full review…
A sub-par effort in family drama with Kirk Douglas barely registering above his usual excellence
The tag line for Diamonds promises that 'searching for buried treasure was never this much fun.' Replace 'much fun' with 'dull' and that marketing slogan suddenly gains a lot of truth.
Wince-inducing dialogue.

CMHC Guarantee Cap Is the Latest Bid by Canadian Officials to Temper Housing Market
By Karen Johnson
Prospective home-buyers in Canada, beware: Mortgage rates might soon claw higher.
In its latest bid to bring down the mercury on Canada's housing market, the Canadian government, through its Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., will limit the guarantees it can offer to banks and other lenders on mortgage-backed securities they issue.
That could prove worrisome for prospective home buyers, and for lenders. Lenders generally use proceeds from the issue of government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities to raise money at attractive rates in an effort to offer low-interest home loans. The guarantee limit on those securities would make that more challenging.
Of course, it's too soon to know whether the changes will, in fact, lead to higher rates. Several factors affect mortgage rates.
Long-term Canadian bond yields, which drive mortgage rates, had already been grinding higher in recent days, driven largely by expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve might soon back off its ongoing asset-purchase program. The Canadian 10-year benchmark bond hit a two-year high, around 2.55%, just last week.
Nonetheless, Ottawa's new rules show that policymakers have continuing worries about Canada's hot housing market. Ottawa has moved four times in as many years to try to cool house prices—shortening amortization periods, requiring more money-down at closing, and so on–and with limited results.
The Bank of Canada last month said it continues to monitor the housing market closely and, encouragingly, said data were pointing to a soft landing.
However, early economic indicators suggest that on a seasonally adjusted basis, Canadian home sales in June and July notched their two best months in years, said Douglas Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets.
"The debate earlier this year was whether we would have a hard landing or a soft landing – and I would say that based on recent indicators it's an open question whether we are having any landing whatsoever," Mr. Porter said.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 13 August 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18450813-TC-JWC-01; CL 19: 141-142
Chelsea Wednesday [13 August 1845]—
Dear Goody,—I send my salutations, my assurances that all is well here, hopes that all is well where you are; but no Letter yet,—in fact I can write no Letter; I am worn out with hard drudgery, the life of me nearly extinct to all spiritual purposes; and without news or possibility of news, being solitary as the owl in desart—"Sparrow-like, companionless / On the housetop alone!"1— It is you that should write; not I except in friendly monosyllables. Thanks to you for writing to my Mother; that is one duty you have done for me. She is gone to the Gill with Jenny, for seabathing: a Note from Jack, last night, so brief as hardly to be intelligible, did at length impart to me that meaning. She will be right glad of your Letter, being always proud of you, and of any word from you.
Our weather keeps continually dropping here: today there is a glimpse of sun broken out lately; the first we have seen for days. All the Earth is grown autumnal, of a dark grave colour; all the City is fallen silent. I rode yesterday thro' streets all the way from Islington (had been at Highgate, and returned that way); and cantered almost without obstruction. My horse, and the history of my rides, is almost all the history I have at present: the "woral [world]" goes for a very small matter with me so busy out of the world.— Just now I have finished copying the last Letter of Oliver: I will try hard yet to be thro' the original stuff this week, tho' that begins to be dubious now. There will then be a "Conclusion" of some kind to do,—an Index to set agoing. After which I am off ins Freie [into the open air]:—Ay de mi!
The Barings' little Page brought me my bag this morning,—my one piece of news. The Herrschaft [master and mistress] went off at half-past nine, by the Mail Train of the Railway, and must be somewhere in your neighbourhood before now. Buller with Fleming, and "Felon" Wakefield,2 is off for Switzerland towards the other point of the compass. I have now nobody but Darwin; he is not yet going, "not yet for a week."
Hellen said, "Loch me, no Letter this morning yet! Is't not mysterous?"— Not at all! I said, impatiently; for I should have been very glad of a Letter too.— Nevertheless do not bore yourself writing to me. A brief word to say you are well and cheerful; that includes the indispensable. Consider yourself out for the purpose of "being jolly" and of gathering health and heart; and do not cramp yourself for Chelsea which wriggles along on the old footings—not yet "gone out" for a similar purpose.
And pray, my Goody, let me call your Letters by any name I like,—grant me freedom in that. Their merits, you may depend on it, are mirrored in a very fair glass, while it is I that read them;—and if I call them "bits of Letters," it is perhaps all the better for them, from a soul so sulky, dispirited, dead and buried, as mine now is, in this horrid business of mine!— Courage, Courage, it will be done soon; then perhaps better days will come!— "Dinner dished, Sir!" The little Bee is washing. Ride today is at five. God bless thee, my dear little Wife. Evermore.

Composed by Jessica Lurie.
Recorded: Eastside Sound, New York, Released in 2009
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
At first, "Grinch" seems like it might want to be a samba. The bass line is certainly slinky enough. But then a decidedly middle eastern vibe and theme moves in...and then some weirdo taped sounds...and finally, a flute. Lurie switches to the flute as the rest of the band thickens and expands the groove. The combination of Todd Sickafoose on bass and Allison Miller on drums can't be beat as they are monsters of the sway.
As usual, the attempt to connect a label to the music is a waste of precious energy. Just sit back (or, if you prefer, jump up on the coffee table) and enjoy the relentless groove.
Wait, did the Grinch know how to groove?

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a list of projects and programs scheduled to be implemented over a period of at least four years. Transportation projects must be included in the TIP to receive most types of federal funding. The TIP provides a mechanism for locally-elected officials and agency staff to review the region's capital programming. It represents a consensus among MPO members and other major transportation interests in the region as to what improvements should have priority for available funds.
Once a four-year TIP is adopted by the SJTPO Policy Board, approved by the Governor, and the State TIP is approval by the federal government, there are certain procedures established for making any changes to the TIP. These procedures are outlined in a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the DVRPC, NJTPA, SJTPO, NJ Transit and NJDOT.
New Jersey's three MPOs, NJDOT, and NJ Transit have also agreed to exchange sub-allocated STP-SJ funds for state Transportation Trust Funds (TTF) for portions of each MPO's respective capital program. Click here for the "TTF Swap" MOU. The MOU is amended each year to reflect the current fiscal year: First Amendment (2015), Second Amendment (2016).
The FY 2016-2025 electronic Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (e-STIP) is an application that provides current information contained in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program for the State of New Jersey for federal fiscal years 2016 through 2025 as the program is modified and amended. The e-STIP reflects all adopted modifications and amendments to the FY 2016-2025 STIP. Thus, e-STIP is an update of the FY 2016-2025 STIP that was approved on November 20, 2015 by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration.

As New Penn Station Proceeds, Officials Say Tunnel Problems Tempt Fate
By DEAN E. MURPHY
Published: December 10, 2000
With New York officials planning to lay the cornerstone next month for a grand expansion of Pennsylvania Station, federal transportation inspectors are hurriedly preparing a report about potentially disastrous fire and safety conditions in 16 miles of aging tunnels that serve the station.
More than 750 trains carrying 300,000 passengers use the tunnels each day, but emergency access is through 90-year-old spiral staircases, some of which are 2 feet wide and 10 flights high, the inspectors said. The staircases are so inadequate that firefighters and paramedics would be unable to enter the tunnels at the same time passengers were being evacuated, they said.
In addition, none of the tunnels have modern ventilation systems that would simultaneously remove smoke and pump in fresh air. Emergency ventilation is achieved only from the open ends of the tunnels, in a system designed in the early 1900's, when ridership was a small fraction of what it is today, railroad officials said. Similarly, the tunnels have only limited water standpipe connections for fire suppression.
In a Nov. 28 letter to federal officials, the fire commissioner for New York City, Thomas Von Essen, said that the delays in correcting the safety problems, which have been known for many years, were ''completely unacceptable.'' He warned that firefighters might be unable ''to prevent a catastrophic outcome'' in the event of a major fire or other emergency in the tunnels.
''Passenger safety should always be the No. 1 priority at the stations and the tunnels that serve it, not an afterthought,'' Mr. Von Essen said.
Amtrak, the federally subsidized railroad that owns Penn Station, said that its operations in the tunnels were safe, noting that there have been no major incidents. But Amtrak acknowledged that the problems were critical and that ''more needs to be done as quickly as possible,'' according to correspondence between George D. Warrington, the president of Amtrak, and a Congressional subcommittee that ordered the inspector general of the Department of Transportation to prepare the report on the tunnels.
Mr. Warrington blamed lack of money for the delays.
The inspector general's report, which is due next week, is expected to address alarms sounded in Congress and elsewhere that the vast project to extend Penn Station into the James A. Farley Building, the post office across Eighth Avenue, could come at the expense of the tunnel improvements. The new station and renovated post office will cost an estimated $800 million, only a small portion of which is intended for tunnel fire and safety projects.
''It is like saying we have flooding in the basement and wiring that might make a fire, yet we are decorating and putting hardwood floors in the living room,'' said Representative Frank R. Wolf, Republican of Virginia, who is chairman of the House appropriations subcommittee on transportation. ''These are not separate issues. If the fire starts in the basement, it is going to burn your new floors.''
Proponents of the Farley Building project said that they shared concerns about tunnel safety, but that it was inappropriate to link the tunnel issues to expansion of the station. The need to expand the terminal space at Penn Station has long been established, they said, and should not be confused with a separate need to improve fire and safety conditions below ground.
Sources of money for the tunnel and Farley projects are also different and not interchangeable, they said. The Farley project does include $108 million for safety improvements, including escalators and stairs in the Farley Building, but those improvements would not address the problems in tunnels outside the station.
''This is like saying you should pave the driveway before you build the house,'' said Charles A. Gargano, chairman of the Pennsylvania Station Redevelopment Corporation, a state agency overseeing the station's expansion.
''Everyone is trying to commingle all of this stuff, and it is not accurate,'' Mr. Gargano said. ''Our purpose is to meet the transportation needs of the region. We have had an uphill battle to get the funding for the Farley project. Those who recognize the need for the safety of the tunnels should work as hard as we have to get the necessary funds to make the improvements.''
Federal railroad officials estimate that $654 million is needed for fire and smoke control systems, ventilation, communications, and access shafts into the tunnels, which were built beneath the East and Hudson Rivers and a stretch of Manhattan's West Side between 1908 and 1910. Based on current financing levels at Amtrak, the officials said, it will take until 2014 to complete the work, at least nine years after the new train station is projected to open.
''It is not that they haven't done anything to address the pressing life and safety needs in the tunnels, but they still have three-fourths of the work to do and there is no money identified to do it,'' said Mark R. Dayton, director of rail programs for the inspector general. ''You would hate to be the person in charge if there were a fire and we knew all along it could happen and we didn't do everything possible to identify the funding to move forward.''

J. Levi Burnfin / The Courier
Braden Barstad drives one into the fairway during the Glasgow Invitational on Saturday.
A patented Tiger Woods fist pump finished Luke Gunderson's day at the windy but sunny and warm Sunnyside Golf Course on Saturday.
Standing over a long putt to finish off a team-low round, Gunderson knew that sinking the putt would help take the sting out of a bad start to his day, a four-putt on the first hole of his round. He only needed one putt this time to end his day with an 86, good enough for fourth overall and best on his team to lead the Scotties to the top team score.
"We had a good day," said Head Coach Dave Riggin. "One of our best days as far as weather wise. We were right where we need to be."
The Scotties finished with a 355, 12 strokes ahead of second-place Plentywood.
Following Gunderson's 86 were Boyd Sinclair and Wyatt Holzworth, who both shot 89. Gunderson, Sinclair and Holzworth all needed low back nines to get there, though. Gunderson, who started his day on a sour note, shot a 44 on the front and Sinclair shot a 45. Holzworth really struggled, shooting a 48, the worst front nine score for the Scotties. However, Holzworth also had the best back nine score with a 41 to get to sub-90 territory, right where Riggin has said he needs his top three golfers to be on any given day.
Braden Barstad's 91 and Jared Smith's 97 rounded out the Scotties' day.
"We were happy to be where we were as a team," said Riggin. "We need to keep competing at that same level and get ready for state."
Plentywood's Bryan Ordahl took the top spot for the boys, shooting an outstanding 77 on the day. Wolf Point's Easton Copenhaver was second with an 83.
On the girls' side, Wolf Point's T'elle Evens shot the best score, a 92.
Tamrah Pewitt and Makkell Baillargeon also competed for Glasgow on the girls' side but scores were unavailable at time of publication.
From left to right, coach Dave Riggin, Braden Barstad, Jared Smith, Boyd Sinclair, Luke Gunderson, Wyatt Holzworth and Betty Truscott pose with the first-place boys' team trophy for the meet.
The Scotties have a busy week full of meets cancelled earlier this year due to weather only to be rescheduled for this week ahead of them. The Scotties will head to Harlem on Friday, Malta on Saturday and Wolf Point on Wednesday, May 8. They may also travel to Scobey on Monday, May 6, if the course is ready.
The most important of those meets may be Saturday in Malta. The Northern B Divisional meet is in Malta this year and Riggin noted that experience on that course is key.
The course forces golfers to make tough decisions as to lay up or go for it during the round that are best solved through practice.
"You may not be able to use the big stick sometimes," he said. "We've got to have some more smart golf."
Even though the Scotties will be heading to Malta once more on May 10, the day before the divisional tournament, that extra time on the course is important.
"That's the whole secret," Riggin said. "That's the only way to get better is to play."

This coming Sunday, January 12th as part of the "Open Mic" Sunday nights at Scratch|Bar in Beverly Hills, Chef Jason Fullilove will provide a seven course prix fixe menu for $65. This dinner will be a preview of the chef's very seasonal, very sustainable seafood menu going to be served at the restaurant in Malibu where Jason will be the executive chef opening this year. The dishes for both this preview and on the forthcoming restaurant's menu will be very chef driven and very creative with bold flavors that are still familiar to people.
The prix fixe menu for Sunday night includes the following seven courses:
- UNI, Deviled Egg, Yuzu Kosho, Asian Pear, Pickled Daikon, Cilantro Flower
- BIG EYE TUNA, Crushed Olive, Bergamot Sour Orange, Pistachio
- NANTUCKET BAY SCALLOPS, Avocado, Serrano Chili, Puffed Sorghum, Lemon, Radish
- VEAL SWEETBREADS, Green Sriracha, Corn Pudding, Mizuna
- OXTAIL AGNOLOTTI, Marrow, Watercress Braising Jus, Shaved Pecorino
- SPICE CURED SMOKED LAMB BELLY, Cous Cous, Pickled Apple, Parsnip, Salsify, Carrot
- GLAZED CROISSANT DOUGHNUT with Smoked Coco Nibs and Sea Salt Mexican Hot Chocolate
As of right now, the a la carte menu that' will be served at the restaurant will include a raw section (with some fun items like the uni on the deviled egg being served Sunday night), starters, seafood entrees and land and air plates.
Chef Fullilove has always wanted to run a seafood restaurant. He notes almost every restaurant always has chicken, beef pork, and lamb on the menu but with items from the ocean, chefs have so many different things they can pull from since with so many different types of fish, the possibility of flavor combinations is endless. For Jason though sustainability is a big issue. Thus he references the Monterrey Aquarium guidelines a lot, does his own research and works with a really good fish supplier American Fish. His rep at American Fish is also really into sustainable seafood so these two are on the same page.
Some of the fish that will be served at the restaurant are farmed like the sustainable baramundi which eats a complete vegetarian diet but still grows to full size. The big eye tuna dish being served Sunday night is farmed Spanish blue fin. Whereas a lot of the other fish the restaurant will be getting have quota's in place so that these fish are not over-fished. Jason notes, "We make sure we get the fish from responsible fisheries and responsible farms...none of the fish will be caught by trolling." So the chef knows his fisherman and how his fish are caught .
"Open Mic" Nights are an ongoing series of one night pop-ups at Scratch|Bar during January, February and thus far March. Here's the full schedule: http://www.scratchbarla.com/mic-night.html Reservations for Chef Fullilove's dinner or future events can be made through Open Table on the restaurant's website http://www.opentable.com/scratch-bar or by calling Scratch|Bar directly at 310.289.8010 . With "Open Mic" Sunday Nights, Scratch|Bar's executive chef Phillip Frankland Lee wanted to provide other young chefs an opporutinity to run a kitchen for a night not unlike an opportunity provided him a few years back at Test Kitchen. If any other chefs who currently aren't running a brick and mortar kitchen would like to participate, please contact Phillip at email@example.com for details.

Does paying 650 dollars for a jacket make us badasses? We're thinking not (it makes us look like gullible consumers instead), but that doesn't mean we're not considering it with the All Saints Alcona Jacket ($650). It's straight up sex appeal wrapped in Italian lambskin leather. If we had one, we could pretend we ride motorcycles or work as a cop who gets things done with a slightly vulnerable no-nonsense attitude. Okay, maybe we watch too much TV. But you have to admit, this is one hot coat.

The second week of the season brought the Rebels (4-0, 3-0) two more victories. Tuesday the Rebels traveled to Ackley and came home with a 75-55 win. On Friday the Rebels hosted BCLUW and won 95-62.
I knew going into this game we would have a mental hurdle to get over as well as beating them physically on the court. Ackley is a very difficult team to beat, especially on their home court! This group of young ladies had never beaten the Cougars until this game (mental hurdle jumped)!
The Rebels were able to jump ahead early in this game finishing the first quarter up 15-11. We were able to increase it to 32-25 at halftime. AGWSR was able to cut it to within 5 late in the third quarter. The fourth quarter saw the constant pressure from the Rebels get to the Cougars as we went on a 19-9 run to seal the win.
Once again the Rebels had five players in double figures in scoring for the night. A balanced offensive attack is becoming a trademark for the Rebels and a problem for our opponents! Emily Dinsdale finished with 14, Paige Thompson 13, Emily Stoakes 13, Jenna Roeding 11, Emily Snider 10, Addi Kickbush 8, Taylor Flamme 3, and Erin Wentzien 3.
Emily Stoakes pulled down 11 rebounds, Addi Kickbush 5, Jenna Roeding 5, Brittany Shinn 3, Taylor Flamme 2, Paige Thompson 1, Emily Dinsdale 1, and Britney Keller 1. The Rebels were picking the pockets of the Cougars all night as they had 27 steals. Emily Snider stole 7, Emily Stoakes 7, Addi Kickbush 4, Paige Thompson 4, Emily Dinsdale 2, Erin Wentzien 1, Jenna Roeding 1, and Britney Keller 1. The Rebels only turned be ball over 11 times for the game while forcing AGWSR into 44!
The Rebels met 4 of their 5 system goals in the ballgame: shots 80 (89), 3's taken 35 (38), forced turnovers 30 (44), and shot differential +25 (+35).
This game saw the Rebel pressure get to BCLUW early as we built a 21-9 first quarter lead. We were up 52-30 at halftime and increased the lead in the second half to win 95-62.
Once again 5 players were able to finish in double figures in scoring. Addi Kickbush finished with a tough 20 points, as I thought she player the most physical game of her career! Emily Snider scored 16, Jenna Roeding 15, Emily Stoakes 13, Emily Dinsdale 11, Paige Thompson 8, Erin Wentzien 7, and Taylor Flamme 5.
The Rebels are unselfish when it comes to sharing the ball and finding the open girl for the score! This was evident tonight as we finished with 20 assists with Addi Kickbush, Paige Thompson, Emily Stoakes, and Emily Dinsdale each delivering 5. Emily Snider and Erin Wentzien each had 2. The Rebels once again took care of the basketball as they only turned it over 9 times for the game!
The Rebels met 3 of their 5 system goals: shots 80 (91), forced turnovers 30 (36), and shot differential +25 (+37).

The .300 Winchester Magnum
By Chuck Hawks
The .300 Win. Mag. is the most successful and popular of the Big .30's, and the only one among the 10 best selling rifle cartridges. While most of the .300 Magnums are ballistically similar, far more factory loads are available for the Winchester version, and only the .300 Win. Mag. is available in such a wide variety of rifles. For the hunter who yearns to own a .300 Magnum for a standard length action, Winchester's Big .30 is the odds-on choice.
Winchester factory loads for the .300 Winchester Magnum give a 150 grain Power Point bullet a MV of 3290 fps and ME of 3605 ft. lbs. At 200 yards the figures are 2636 fps and 2314 ft. lbs.
A 165 grain bullet is probably a better choice for the .300 Win. Mag., given the powder capacity of the case and the superior sectional density (SD) of the heavier bullet. Winchester's factory load gives a 165 grain Fail Safe bullet a MV of 3120 fps and ME of 3567 ft. lbs. At 200 yards the figures are 2515 fps and 2319 ft. lbs. The trajectory of a 165 grain spitzer bullet at a MV of 3120 fps should look about like this: +3" at 100 yards, +3.4" at 200 yards, -1.2" at 300 yards, and -11.4" at 400 yards.
180 grains is the most popular bullet weight for all of the .300 Mags. Winchester loads their 180 grain Power Point Plus bullet to a MV of 3070 fps. and ME of 3,768 ft. lbs. At 200 yards the velocity is 2633 fps and the remaining energy is 2361 ft. lbs.
Winchester trajectory tables show that the 180 grain Power Point Plus bullet zeroed at 200 yards rises only 1.4" at 100 yards and falls 6.4" at 300 yards. This is identical to the trajectory for the 130 grain Power Point Plus bullet in the famous .270 Winchester caliber. Obviously, Winchester's .300 is a fine long range big game cartridge.
The flip side of launching heavy bullets at high velocity is recoil, and abundant recoil is the dark side of all .300 Magnum cartridges. You can't cheat Mother Nature or the laws of physics.
That said, 180 grain bullets remain the most popular choice among .300 Winchester Magnum reloaders, and with good reason. They are the most useful and versatile bullets for use in any .300 Magnum cartridge. Bullets heavier than 200 grains are not recommended for the .300 Win. Mag. due to its short neck.
The slower burning rifle powders are a natural choice for the .300 Win. Mag. H4350, IMR 4350 and RL-22 are good powders for 150-165 grain bullets. For the heavier 180-200 grain bullets H1000, H4831, IMR 4831, IMR 7828, RL-22, and RL-25 are among the recommended powders.
Here are some .300 Win. Mag. specifications of interest to reloaders: bullet diameter .308", maximum COL 3.34", maximum case length 2.62", MAP 54,000 cup.
According to the 26th edition of the Hodgdon Data Manual reloaders can drive a 165 grain bullet to a MV of 3031 fps with 79.0 grains of H1000 powder, and at a MV of 3207 fps with 84.0 grains of H1000. These velocities were also achieved in a 26" test barrel.
Also according to the Hodgdon Data Manual, reloaders can drive a 180 grain bullet to a MV of 2945 fps with 78.0 grains of H1000 powder, and to a MV of 3121 fps with 83.0 grains of H1000. The latter load developed a pressure of 50,900 cup. These Hodgdon loads used Large Rifle Magnum primers and were chronographed in a 26" pressure test barrel.
Note: A full length article about the .300 Winchester Magnum can be found on the Rifle Cartridge Page.

"Get The Girl Back" the new HANSON single!
Hi! Who is excited for Hanson's new single out soon entitled "Get the Girl Back"?
Someone had posted before asking about what happened to the band Hanson...The answer actually is in their 2004 film documentary "Strong Enough to Break." You can check it out on youtube broken down into a series of episodes- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arfx4i-050I
The film shows when Hanson decided to depart from the label Island def Jam to become an independent band...Mercury Records was their original label, but unfortunately, because of a merger in 2000, Mercury got eliminated and hundreds of music acts were consequently dropped. Mercury was absorbed by Island def Jam, a hiphop label. Island decided to keep Hanson, but they were not compatible. Island kept pushing for creating hits, and the environment just became more and more corporate. Business/money matters would be the priority and Island just didn't seem to be truly involved and enthusiastic about Hanson's music and where they were coming from, unlike their first label Mercury.
Hanson decided to leave Island in 2003. They were offered a deal by another major label, but they declined it. They decided to form their own label to have more creative control; this way they will share the music directly to the audience or anyone who would give them a listen.
They put up their own label, 3CG Records, when they were around ages 23, 20 and 18. They produced about three independent studio albums since and tour constantly... Not being under a major label anymore means less promotional funds...They have made many beautiful songs (especially the album UNDERNEATH) throughout the years, but sadly, people are missing out 'coz Hanson's music is not marketed heavily...They do not have the resources that can compete with a major label's. But they are in it for the music., and they are just happy doing it...
Am excited and happy about their new album coming out soon! These guys are really very talented, and their music continually evolves. Anyone else here listen to Hanson's music throughout the years? What are your faves? Thanks!

If it is clear or very pale it is generally a cold in the eye. If it is yellow or greenish and oozing, your child likely has pink eye (conjunctivitis) and should be seen by a doctorposted 04/12/2011 by Ivykeep
my son had the same problem. turns out it was just a plugged tear duct. his pediatrician had me massage the area under his eye and down the bridge of his nose every few hours...it was normal after a few days. but if you think it may be an infection, call the doctor asap!posted 04/06/2011 by chevonbon

Programmes / Projects
The government of Burkina Faso estimates
that nearly 85 percent of Burkinabè households rely
upon livestock for some portion of their income. Furthermore,
livestock accounts for approximately 25 percent of the country's
exports. Socially, livestock provides a way for young adults
to learn the responsibilities of adulthood, a method for family
members to fulfill social obligations, and a means for women
to support their families. Considering its social and economic
significance, livestock must take center stage in efforts
to improve Burkinabè livelihoods.
This brief highlights three potential constraints - weak
livestock producer organizations, poor animal health service
provision, and commercial weaknesses — on the potential
contribution of the livestock sector to improving poor people's
livelihoods and recommends strategic actions for overcoming
each of them.
Weak Livestock Producer Organizations
Achieving policy change normally requires strong, organized
interest groups to push for change, but Burkina's poor
livestock producers lack such groups. In rural areas, livestock
associations are not uncommon, but these rural associations
have had little influence on local, regional, and particularly,
national policies. Rural associations tend to focus their
attention on NGO or donor activity with many associations
lasting only as long as the local NGO or donor project. Furthermore,
rural associations tend to avoid any activity that could be
perceived as 'political'. At the national level,
it is difficult for all-inclusive organizations to generate
a common policy platform from the disparate needs and priorities
of livestock producers in Burkina Faso. The existing Fédération
des Éleveurs de Burkina Faso (FEB) faces strong criticism
for its inability to address the needs of the livestock producers
outside the cattle sub-sector.
Livestock producers in peri-urban professional associations,
such as the Maison de l'Aviculture, have been more successful
at organizing to provide member services and to influence
policy. Actors interested in promoting pro-poor policies can
work with and provide assistance to these associations on
issues that affect all producers in the poultry, pork and
dairy industries. Tariffs and macro-economic policies are
one level at which the interests of rural and peri-urban producers
may coincide. Furthermore, both groups can profit from basic
animal health measures (not advanced veterinary interventions
required to raise exotic breeds), like vaccinations against
Newcastle disease or efforts to stop the spread of African
swine fever. However, peri-urban professional associations
already have exceptional organizational advantages vis-à-vis
their rural counterparts. Although they can promote common
goals and address common needs, they also have very specific
concerns which are not related to those of their poor counterparts.
In addition, actors seeking to help livestock producers should
work with herders unions at the provincial level. These unions
provide important member services to livestock producers,
as well as being active in local and provincial politics,
particularly in politics surrounding land-use. These unions
have been critiqued for their ethnic basis, but it can be
argued that this ethnic basis is necessary to the unions'
organizational survival. Despite problems of inequality within
some herders unions, these unions can provide information,
training, and legal assistance to agro-pastoral producers.
Particularly as Burkina proceeds with political decentralization,
herders unions can help provide agro-pastoralists the resources
needed to make sure they do not lose out as decision-making
roles are delegated to local authorities.
Finally, livestock producers need to be able to use the export
earnings they generate to influence policy. Interested actors
could provide herders unions with research findings on the
fiscal importance of livestock exports to the Burkinabè
state. By helping unions develop the 'campaigning'
skills needed to educate state officials and politicians on
the fiscal importance of livestock exports, donors or other
interested organizations could help unions raise the political
salience of livestock exports.
Poor Animal Health Provision
Poor producers' ability to profit from market demand
for livestock, particularly for family-raised poultry which
is arguably an important source of daily revenue for most
poor Burkinabè families, depends on the accessibility
of reasonably priced vaccines and medicines. At present, access
is limited by 1) the lack of private veterinarians in rural
areas, 2) import companies' inability to supply the
domestic market, and 3) what producers' perceive as
high costs for medicines and vaccines. Furthermore, the states'
basic animal health capacities appear to be eroding so that
the state is not prepared to deal with epizootic outbreaks.
This brief recommends a threefold approach to addressing the
animal health problem.
First, it recommends that an in-depth study of the constraints
facing import businesses be conducted in order to generate
feasible means for increasing capital and capacity in the
import business. Second, to facilitate the privatization of
veterinary services while retaining basic national animal
health preventative capacities, it recommends that the government
contract private paraprofessionals to provide preventative
services in specified geographical areas under the supervision
of private veterinarians. In exchange for providing preventative
services, these para-professionals could be granted the right
to sell basic curative medicines to local producers in the
area. In exchange for their supervisory role, private veterinarians
could receive trans-portation subsidies that would allow them
to provide curative services at a reduced fee while traveling
for supervision purposes. This contract for curative service
in a given area would help assure veterinarians a sound financial
base for their private practice.
Finally, in order to increase the production of village poultry,
vaccines and basic medicines must be made available to producers
at accessible prices. This brief recommends looking into creating
private partnerships with the Programme de Développement
des Animaux Villageois as a means of securing these resources
at competitive rates.
Commercial Weaknesses
The small-ruminant and cattle sub-sector provides the most
promising source of market growth in the livestock sector.
If expanded, it could significantly improve household livelihoods;
however, this sub-sector cannot expand until the high transaction
and transportation costs of exporting Burkinabè products
to the West African sub-region are addressed. Furthermore,
the sub-sector suffers from lack of capital and access to
formal credit.
Despite strong regional demand for Burkinabè exports,
commercial actors in the sub-sector do not have access to
the capital needed to expand exports. Increasing the capacity
and reliability of the small-ruminant and cattle commercial
system requires that credit be extended to actors at the highest
levels of the formal commercial system. Furthermore, interested
actors should support efforts such as those undertaken by
the West African Monetary Union to reduce unofficial practices,
including demands for bribes, that raise the costs of cross-border
trade in cattle and small-ruminants.

The Hollywood Kills with The Silver Comet, Jonas Sees In Color and 32 & Falling
Presented by The End at The End
February 22, 2013
THE HOLLYWOOD KILLS is a band of four dapper gents from Nashville, TN who just love to rock. Lead by Jonathan Jircitano's vast vocal range and deft guitar technique, guitarist Brent Powelson shines on background vocals and lead guitar, while the pulse of Preston Jackson's growling bass is held tightly together by the command of drummer Brandon Jenkins.
On stage The Holllywood Kills are riveting, feeding off the energy of their ever-expanding fan base, and giving it back to the crowd ten-fold. The band's latest EP, An Idiot's Guide to Desertion, released November 20, 2012, is a collection of fan favorites written during the early years of the band's conception, all previously recorded, but never before released.
"What sets The Hollywood Kills apart from the rest of the indie rock crowd is...The f-ing energy. These guys are all about their fans!", writes Editor-in-Chief of LANDFILLS MAGAZINE. The feeling is mutual, the EP was entirely funded by fan donations leftover from the band's Kickstarter campaign & pre-order sales, a true testament to the dedication of the THK community.
While performing for fans is certainly what drives this emerging band to keep on keepin' on, it is the simple pleasures that keep these southern gentlemen entertained. Together, they've been known to kick back with an afternoon of croquet in the Tennessee sun, indulge in an episode of WWE's Monday Night RAW, or record themselves in precarious, yet hilarious situations--it's this unique outlook on life that flavors their music with such quirky emotion and personality.
