High strength, durable and lightweight industrial gratings; providing maintenance free reliability in all environments.
Glass reinforced polymer (GRP) gratings offer an attractive combination of mechanical & physical properties and are a proven, ideal replacement for steel & aluminium gratings. They are available in a wide variety of structural, chemical & dimensional variants making them suitable for installations in all industrial & commercial environments.
All types exhibit key product features & benefits:
- Strong & durable - excellent loading ability
- Non corroding - no issues with rust, maintenance free, low life-cycle costs
- Impact resistant - will not crack or chip, maintains appearance
- Fire retardant - choice of resin type to meet required performance
- Chemical resistant - choice of options to suit all environments
- Low electrical & thermal conductivity - ideal near electrical installations
- Anti-slip surfaces - reduction in slip related accidents
- Relative light weight - reduced transport costs & load on existing structures
- Easy handling, fabrication & assembly - no welding
GRP Gratings are produced by two distinct manufacturing processes to offer either Moulded or Pultruded variants. Both types are composite products and combine fibreglass strands with thermosetting resins to form extremely strong panel structures. These two complimentary materials give GRP gratings excellent compressive and tensile strength.
Typical installation scenarios include:
- Access platform walkways
- Pedestrian bridges, steps & walkways
- Worker access to machinery
- Marina gangways
- Replacements for steel chequer plate or grid steps
- Replacements for wooden steps
- Marine vessel applications
- Water treatment works
- Offshore wind & oil facilities
MOULDED GRP gratings combine fibreglass rovings with a choice of thermosetting resins to form an extremely strong one piece panel.
GRP gratings are proven to withstand the effects of chemical corrosion and are impact resistant and flame retardant. A comprehensive range of sizes, mesh type & surface finishes are available.
Moulded GRP grating is available in the following types:
- Open mesh - concave surface
- Open mesh - gritted surface
- Covered (solid) top - gritted surface
- Micromesh
- Conductive top
Chemical - resin type options:
- Polyester - orthophthalic, isophthalic & isophthalic food grade
- Vinylester - standard or high flame resistant
- Phenolic - high flame resistance & low smoke
Dimensional - Options
- Heights from 15mm to 60mm
- Panel sizes typically from 1007 mm width up to 4047 mm length
PULTRUDED gratings are assembled from GRP bearer bars (either I or T section) and transversely linked with cross-rod sections to specified spacings, giving an open surface range from 33%-60% .
The bearer bars are formed from densely packed continuous fibreglass rovings, combined with a multi-directional glass mat reinforcement and wrapped in a surface veil of resin. During the pultrusion process, the fibres are drawn through a bath of resin and into a die under high temperature & pressure. This forms the cured, finished section which is cut to the required lengths.
The core of continuous glass rovings provide the bar with high longitudinal strength and stiffness, while the glass mat reinforcement gives transverse strength and resists chips, cracks and fractures. The surface veil finish offers protection against corrosion & UV light degradation.

Haywood dairy farm comes under fire from PETA
A Clyde dairy farm has captured widespread attention after video footage was released by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Dan Paden, evidence analysis manager for PETA, said the organization was tipped off about the practices used on the Osborne dairy farm outside Clyde, and obtained video footage about the actual conditions last week.
"The person requested anonymity and we abide by that," Paden said of the tipster.
The photographs and video can be found on the PETA website at http://petaav.com/4broadcast/harris_teeter_supplier/index.html and were obtained legally, he said.
He noted the truck picking up the milk on the farm was followed to a Hickory company, Piedmont Milk Sales, and said the company publicly acknowledges it only supplies its products to Harris Teeter groceries — a claim the regional grocer is demanding be retracted.
The PETA news release not only had harsh words about the regional grocer, but called on them to reassess its relationship with Osborne Farm and examine practices at every farm from which they source milk.
It was an accusation the grocer denied.
"Harris Teeter has verified with its supplier, Piedmont Milk Producers, that we do not receive milk from Osborne Dairy Farm. We will be asking PETA to issue a retraction immediately," the company said in a prepared news release.
"We receive our Harris Teeter branded milk from cooperatives which participate in the National Dairy FARM program, and we acknowledge our responsibility to engage and educate our suppliers about our preference to source from those who follow sustainable practices and ensure humane treatment and living conditions for animals. We believe in transparency around animal welfare issues, and we strongly encourage all of our dairy suppliers to proactively participate in and adhere to or exceed the best practices as outlined in the National Dairy FARM program."
Both the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the N.C. Department of Agriculture have opened investigations into the situation, the PETA news release stated.
"We hope these agencies, along with Haywood County animal services will work together to ensure that adequate care is urgently provided to those cows," Paden said, "and that this cruel mess is cleaned up as soon as it can be."
Paden said PETA is not only concerned about the welfare of the animals in the video.
"This certainly presents a food safety threat," he said. "Even if it were to be sanitized, there's a concern that some of those animals would be diseased living in those conditions."
Atypical operation
The news release made the following assessment of the dairy cows on the Osborne farm.
"The video shows that the farm's waste pit has not been emptied for so long that the manure in it has hardened, with excess waste so high that the cows must wade through it up to their knees. It splats onto the cows' udders just before they are milked and has left the animals — some of whom also suffer from emaciation and lameness — with skin ulcers and painful hoof ailments. Flies swarm around the cows, who stand in the waste while eating."
It's a situation that Tony McGaha, Haywood County Extension livestock specialist, said certainly isn't the norm in dairy operations.
"There is certainly a problem with the waste situation," McGaha said. "The waste structure is a covered structure that seems to be very, very full and backed up. I don't know what the waste management plan calls for, but there is some sort of problem right now."
McGaha said while the waste situation shown in the PETA photos indicates there is a problem, the cattle appeared to be in good condition.
"I saw no evidence of emaciated condition based on the video," he said. "In a dairy cow, you will see the hook bones and hip bones if she's milking. As far as fly control, if you have manure, you will have flies. If the manure had been scraped out of the alley ways, it would be no different from any other dairy farm."
McGaha said he would like to know more about the situation before making additional comments.
"There is always more than one side to the story. There seems to be a problem, and we don't know what caused it to come about. When I visited the farm, there was not a backup," he said noting his last visit there was last fall.
Steve Washburn, an Extension specialist with N.C. State University's dairy science department, agreed the dairy cows appeared to be in good condition.
"Weather conditions may have prevented the manure from being spread," he said. "There may be details we don't know right now. It is not typical for farms to have cows standing in manure like that."
Still, it is unlikely the milk from the animals would pose a threat to human health, Washburn said.
"The dairy industry is highly regulated and milk is routinely tested for quality and contaminants," he said.
In addition, the tests would indicate whether an animal has udder disease or if antibiotics have been used and are showing up in the milk supply.
"Should that happen, the milk is rejected and doesn't go into the human food chain," he added.
None of the state regulatory agencies that PETA said were investigating the situation returned calls by press deadline.
McGaha said the outlook for Osborne Farms appears bleak.
"Anytime you have evidence of something like this, it isn't good," he said.
Osborne could not be reached for comment.

Canadian actor Michael Cera, best known for his roles in the film Juno and Arrested Development, has dropped a surprise album.
The actor has released the album on website Bandcamp, although he hasn't announced it himself.
Actor Jonah Hill who starred with Cera in the 2007 comedy Superbad, tweeted a link to the actor's album stream on Bandcamp.
"My great friend Michael Cera not only is a brilliant actor, he also makes great music. Check it out," he tweeted, along with Cera's first track from his album an instrumental called uhohtrouble.
Next trending article: Girl, 4, survives 11 days in Siberian wilderness, protected by puppy
The lo-fi indie folk album called True That has 18 tracks and is selling for $US7 ($A7.57) from the website with the promise of three bonus tracks upon purchase.
Bandcamp is a website that allows people to directly support the artist who posts their music.
The website has put Cera on the home page alongside some blurb confirming it is music from the actor.
"Yes, it is that Michael Cera - releasing an album of amiable, lo-fi, folksy-leaning songs and dreamy piano doodles," the post said.
The star's bio on the page reads: "Michael Cera was born in Canada in 1988 at the tender age of zero."
The tracks are mostly instrumental although Cera's distinctive vocals are first heard on the third track Clay Pigeons which is a Blaze Foley cover. Foley was an American singer-songwriter who was shot dead in 1989.
Cera has received a lot of positive comments on the website, one person described it as "refreshingly lo-fi in a heavily produced climate".
"Michael Cera? On Bandcamp? That alone is amazing, but the album is actually really great." another posted.
Cera has had a strong connection with music throughout his films. He performs on the soundtrack to Juno singing The Moldy Peaches song Anyone Else But You with his co-star in the film Ellen Page.
He also played bass and sang back up to songs on the soundtracks to his films Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.
Cera has been reported before as playing bass in two indie bands, The Long Goodbye and Mister Heavenly.

Issue No. 01 - January (2011 vol. 60)
pp: 3-4
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/TC.2011.8
Computer architecture is a wide active research field that spans all aspects of computer systems design. Dependability - the trustworthiness of a computing system which allows reliance to be justifiably placed on the service it delivers - has always been a key aspect of computer architecture and has been extensively investigated since the first days of computing. Traditionally, dependable computer architectures are utilized in high-end computing systems or computing systems for critical applications, where continuous, uninterrupted operation is among the most important requirements and systems are characterized by high reliability, availability, and maintainability (well-known measures to quantify dependability).
The time has now come for the wealth of concepts and methodologies in the field of dependable (also known as fault-tolerant) computer architecture that have been proposed during the last several decades, to be adopted and extended in mainstream, general-purpose computing systems. Dependable operation of computing systems is a mandatory requirement in virtually all application fields (at lower or higher costs), due to the increasing reliance of everyday human activities on computers or microprocessor-based systems in general. Unfortunately, this ubiquitous computing revolution comes in hand with hard-to-solve technological issues that are closely related to dependable operation of a computing system.
Integrated circuits are implemented today in miniaturized and inherently unreliable technologies that render circuits more vulnerable to both temporary disturbances leading to transient (or soft) errors and to permanent (or hard) errors. Soft errors in silicon-based circuits are caused by alpha particles from integrated circuit package decay or by cosmic rays that create high energy neutrons and protons. Hard errors, on the other side, appear either because of manufacturing defects that escape high-volume production manufacturing testing or because of material aging and wearout mechanisms during the system's life cycle that are exacerbated by the high clock frequencies of modern circuits.
Computing systems are getting constantly more complex (in particular with the recent turn toward multicore processors and high performance memory systems) while on the same time strict time-to-market constraints demand for extremely short design, verification, and validation intervals.
The net outcome of all the previous factors is that dependable operation of computing systems in the field should be a first level design consideration in all application domains, obviously at different cost points. This special section of IEEE Transactions on Computers focuses on architectural techniques that enhance dependability of different components of a computing system. A total number of 27 high-quality manuscripts were submitted to the special section from academic and industrial research groups worldwide, and a large set of more than 140 reviews from a strong group of expert reviewers was required to make final decisions. This special section published in the current issue of IEEE Transactions on Computers includes seven of the papers; roughly one fourth of the submitted papers on this topic.
The seven papers of the special section on Dependable Computer Architecture cover a wide spectrum of subsystems of mainstream architectures: processors (in particular CMP), cache memories, flash, and disk storage, but also a paper on probabilistic (stochastic) architectures is included. Methodologies are proposed for effective handling of both hard and soft errors and the papers of the special section comprehensively discuss all major tradeoffs between dependability and other design aspects such as performance, cost, yield, energy/power.
The first paper entitled "StageNet: A Reconfigurable Fabric for Constructing Dependable CMPs", by Shantanu Gupta, Shuguang Feng, Amin Ansari, and Scott Mahlke from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, opens the special section dealing with tolerance of progressively higher defect densities due to aging in massively parallel chip multiprocessors (CMPs). The authors present StageNet, a reconfigurable CMP architecture that is primarily designed to provide fault tolerance and extend the lifetime of the system which gracefully degrades as the number of permanent faults increases.
The subsequent three papers focus on different aspects of cache memories with respect to dependability.
The second paper of the special section entitled "Reliability-Driven ECC Allocation for Multiple Bit Error Resilience in Processor Cache", by Somnath Paul, Fang Cai, Xinmiao Zhang, and Swarup Bhunia, from Case Western Reserve University, discusses a non-uniform, variable ECC allocation scheme to effectively tolerate multiple bit errors in cache memories. The method utilizes post-fabrication characterization information to provide different ECC allocation depending on the relative vulnerability of cache memory blocks.
The third paper entitled "Maximizing Spare Utilization by Virtually Reorganizing Faulty Cache Lines", by Amin Ansari, Shantanu Gupta, Shuguang Feng, and Scott Mahlke from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, proposes a flexible, reconfigurable architecture for redundant spares allocation in cache memories, aiming to effectively deal with both manufacturing and lifetime failures and improve both manufacturing yield and in-field reliability.
The fourth paper entitled "Adaptive Cache Design to Enable Reliable, Low-Voltage Operation", by Alaa R. Alameldeen, Zeshan Chishti, Chris Wilkerson, Wei Wu, and Shih-Lien Lu from Intel Labs, Oregon, focuses on the critical reliability vs. energy tradeoff in cache memories design. The authors propose an adaptive cache design that utilizes a synergy between a hardware mechanism and the operating system to obtain the best energy/reliability combination for the desired performance of the application.
The fifth paper entitled "Improving Availability of RAID-Structured Storage Systems by Workload Outsourcing", by Suzhen Wu, Hong Jiang, Dan Feng, Lei Tian, and Bo Mao from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, proposes a novel scheme that improves the availability of RAID-based storage systems by extending the RAID structure to improve the performance of low-priority background RAID tasks. Comprehensive experimental analysis demonstrates the advantages of the portable approach.
The sixth paper entitled "Flash-Aware RAID Techniques for Dependable and High-Performance Flash Memory SSD", by Soojun Im and Dongkun Shin from Sungkyunkwan University, discusses reliability and fault tolerance in solid-state disks (SSD) an important storage technology competing hard disks. The authors propose a novel RAID-based technique for flash memory SSDs with significantly improved performance in parity calculations and updates.
The seventh and last paper of the special section entitled "An Architecture for Fault-Tolerant Computation with Stochastic Logic", by Weikang Qian, Xin Li, Marc D. Riedel, Kia Bazargan, and David J. Lilja from University of Minnesota, reveals the advantages that probabilistic circuit design like stochastic logic can provide over conventional hardware implementations. The authors show that better fault coverage against many sources of errors can be achieved at lower costs.
The guest editors of the special section on Dependable Computer Architecture would like to thank the authors of the submitted papers for the excellent quality of the submitted papers and the reviewers for timely and competent review under a very tight schedule including one or two revision rounds for each paper.

Trilogiq USA Lean Material Handling Profiled in Efficient Manufacturing Magazine
According to Cutler, "Rather than strategically planning to work with a singular vendor to analyze, assess and acquire the best overall integrated solutions, purchasing managers call favorite suppliers to order a required item. It is folly and poor practice. Thin operating margins are driving more holistic material handling and manufacturing by progressive management leaders versed in lean manufacturing, Six Sigma and continuous process improvement theories."
Holistic Material Handling best practices are demonstrated in two specific areas of quality, part damage and process errors. Part damage results from parts not being sufficiently contained, protected, or packaged thus being subject to conditions that can impair their quality (dents, scratches, and impacts). Process errors result from the wrong type or quantity of parts arriving to an operator that can cause process delays and losses.

With an urban-friendly design, this warm, stormproof jacket has an H2No™ Performance Standard shell with a waterproof/breathable barrier, a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and removable hood; insulated with Traceable Down (600-fill-power duck down traced from parent farm to apparel factory to help ensure the birds that supply it are not force-fed or live-plucked).
2-layer H2No Performance Standard shell fabrics are completely waterproof, windproof and breathable.
Designed for a wide range of uses, from backpacking to snowboarding, 2-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell fabrics utilize a taffeta or mesh lining rather than a bonded scrim to protect the waterproof/breathable barrier. The lining increases the garments wicking ability, durability and next-to-skin comfort.
2-layer H2No Performance Standard shell fabrics are coated with DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish that repels light rain and snow. In conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.
All products bearing the H2No mark have been vigorously tested for durability in our Killer Wash.

RatingRate me!
Yield1 (enough for 2 five pieces rolls)
1 tablespoon umeboshi plums puree (asianmarket or healthfood stores)
1/4 teaspoon nama shoyu
2 teaspoon water (maybe 3)
1/4 teaspoon agave (may be replaced by a dash of stevia green leaf powder)
dash of each: cayenne, fresh ground pepper, powdered ginger
1 tablespoon goji berries
Recipe Directions
Mix all ingredients excepted goji berries. You want the sauce a little more liquid than the final result, because you'll let the goji infused in for a few hours...
It is pretty salty, but you just have to put a little on each sushi or whatever else... also good with veggies :) I suppose it would also be great as a japanese/asian dressing...
Isabelle.marcil's ThoughtsBy isabelle.marcil
I'm so excited to share with you this savory sauce I've created this week... I ate this with a so delightful sushi roll (the best I've ever had!) made of: parnsip rice, but without mac nuts or green onion, but added fresh chives), avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, shredded carrots, alfalfa and chia sprouts, bell pepper, green onion, ananas, sesame and fresh cilantro and bee balm leaves, roll in a nori and spinach lined rice paper sheet (not raw).. yum!

"Carrier-Multiplication in Semiconductor Nanocrystals: a Long Controversy"
Christophe Delerue is head of the physics department at the Institute for Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN) in Lille, France. He is CNRS Research Director and professor at ISEN (Institut Supérieur d'Electronique et du Numérique). Christophe completed his undergraduate and graduate degrees at ISEN and Lille University specializing in condensed matter physics. After defending his Ph.D. thesis in 1989, he joined the CNRS as a Research Assistant. He defended his Habilitation in 1998 and became Research Director in 2002. Initially, Christophe's work focused on deep defects in semiconductors. In 2000, he contributed to new efforts in theoretical studies of semiconductor nanocrystals (Si, III-V, II-VI). He was early involved in the development of atomistic methods to study the spectroscopic and transport properties of these nano-objects. More recently, he also worked on the electronic and transport properties in semiconductor nanowires. Christophe received the Ancel Prize of the French Society of Physics (SFP) in 2007.

If you are a London bus commuter, there is a one in five chance that this morning you were brought into work by Arriva.
And when the new Copenhagen metro opens, the same company will bring thousands into the city, as it does in Liverpool through its recent acquisition of MTL, which owned the train franchise for Merseyrail Electrics.
MTL also owns the rail franchises in West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Tyne & Wear. It was also a co-signatory on the Northern Spirit franchise with the Shadow Strategic Rail Authority and was bought by Arriva in February.
Pinsent Curtis acted on the MTL deal. Pinsents gained Arriva as a client when its own long-standing client the British Bus Group, which was at the time the UK's third largest bus operation, was bought by the company in 1996.
The group has interests in just about every form of land-based motorised transport except, ironically, the one on which the company was built in the 1930s – motor bikes.
Following the Second World War the company was relaunched by Tom Cowie (junior) with £1,000 of demob money and flourished until the mid-1950s when Japanese imports began to take over the market. This is when Cowie moved into car rental.
Arriva, the new name that took over from Cowie in the mid-1990s, leased 80,000 cars to blue chip clients such as Marks & Spencer and British Airways until last year, when the car lease business was sold to General Motors Acceptance Corporation.
However, it still owns a vehicle rental service which hires out both cars and light commercial vehicles.
Dickinson Dees, which has been advising the company since 1981, acted on the disposal of the car lease business.
Head of legal Chris Applegarth says that he likes to be as even handed as possible with the distribution of legal work between the company's two chosen law firms, Pinsent Curtis and Dickinson Dees.
"Both firms are extremely competent," he says. "All our large class one deals go outside the legal department, while some of the smaller stuff, class two and transactional work we would keep inside.
"For class one work we don't have the resources and extra cover needed. Also for some deals the financial institutions demand that we use an outside law firm."
For historical reasons Applegarth works with the Birmingham office of Pinsent Curtis rather than the closer Leeds office. Dickinson Dees was selected in part because of its north-east base.
Applegarth works very closely with all outside legal advisers and on occasions will bring outside lawyers into the office to work alongside the department.
"I am very selective about who I use," he says. "Having selected people that I will use, I keep the division of work equal."
For property development work, Applegarth says that he tends to shop around. While he has used Dickinson Dees in the past for property work, he has also used another 10 to 12 smaller firms including 25-partner London firm Jeffrey Green Russell and Haig-Scott & Co, a small, but Applegarth says, very talented firm based in Edinburgh.
When Arriva sought a US private placement, Applegarth used US firm White & Case, which Arriva has also used for some European ventures.
In The Netherlands, he uses Linklaters & Alliance, but only because Dutch law firm De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, which the company has outsourced work to for many years, became part of the alliance network.
However, using both firms goes against the grain for Applegarth, who does not rate the current trend of Anglo-Saxon firms opening in every country on the map.
"We have a policy of using indigenous firms for our international dealings," explains Applegarth. "Generally I find that they know more about their legal systems than UK firms which tend to have people who know a bit but not enough because they have not been based in the country long enough to know.
"We have used White & Case in eastern Europe but only because they have a policy of employing indigenous lawyers within those offices and they also do a lot of work in those countries."
As to what Applegarth expects from his law firms, paying a reasonable price for the services is a priority, alongside a fast accurate response. He sometimes negotiates fixed fees to help achieve this.
Despite this, he says: "Given the sort of things the law firms get involved in for us, I don't want to screw them to the ground over fees. They are good with us so we like to be good with them."
Applegarth has plenty of experience to help him run the department as he has spent most of his career in-house.
Before joining Arriva in 1985, he had worked for house builder Wimpey among other in-house positions. In his time at Arriva he has seen the company grow from making a £10m profit per year to a £200m profit from a turnover of £1.5bn last year.
The Arriva department is made up of generalists, with no clear divisions as to which lawyer handles which particular sectors.
All outside lawyers work under the close control of the in-house department and Applegarth.
It would seem, if you would excuse the pun, that Applegarth is still very much in the driving seat.

To celebrate the opening of their London concept store this month, LN-CC is offering Guardian readers the chance to win a £1,000 spend.
Late Night Chameleon Cafe is a new London-based retail concept for men and women, consisting of an online shop and concept store.
Product includes both new and archive collections based around the concept of unisex styling, music, books and limited worldwide releases. Clothing is curated in a very specific way by fusing some of the best brands in the mainline arena, such as Rick Owens and Balenciaga, with underground brands and Japanese labels including the likes of SASQUATCHfabrix and Nonnative.
The concept space by set designer Gary Card is more installation piece than traditional shop fit, with concept rooms and club space linked together by an indoor forest and futuristic skeletal tunnel constructed from raw wood and orange acrylic.
Initiated by John Skelton (ex oki-ni and Harrods) and a team of specialists, this project is more than a store. LN-CC is an evolving platform of curated ideas encompassing clothing, music and art in both a physical and digital environment.

ANTRIM Agricultural Society held a reception for their sponsors as part of the launch for this year's 102nd annual show to be held on Saturday, July 26 at Greenmount College grounds, Dublin Road, Antrim.
Preparations for this year's show officially kicked off at a sumptuous sponsors' reception generously hosted by the Mayor of Antrim on a glorious evening in the beautiful surroundings of Shane's Castle Carriage Room, where the guests were able to savour a splendid supper prepared by Allen Park Restaurant, finished off perfectly with a delicious Hoy's Farmhouse Ice Cream.
Show Chairman, James Clements welcomed everyone and conveyed the society's thanks to Antrim Borough Council and all the sponsors, supporters and stewards present.
Linda Davis, Show Secretary in her show launch report, added the following: "We are greatly indebted to the council for their assistance both financial and practical through their long association with our Society.
"The Society extends sincere thanks to CAFRE as the society prepares for its 10th Show on Greenmount's excellent Dublin Road grounds.
"Without the support of our sponsors and supporters we as a show could not function. We hope the impressive array of awards and prizes made possible through our sponsors support will continue to attract many exhibitors to come and show their livestock, retaining our reputation as one of the top one-day agricultural events in the Province."
Cattle Section
Antrim Show is delighted to host many varied championships and qualifiers, illustrating the high regard the show is held in. The Northern Ireland British Blue Club bring the final of their very successful Heifer Derby back again. Antrim is a qualifier for the Ulster Bank/NISA Pedigree Beef Cow Championship 2008 and the Tesco Rare Breeds Cattle Derby. Antrim is pleased to host for the first time a qualifier for the Semex Dairy Cow of the Year Competition. Points can also be accumulated at Antrim show in the Ayrshire, Blonde, British Blue, Jersey & Limousin sections.
The Champion Inter Breed Dairy Exhibitors will benefit from sponsorship from Northern Bank and Genus ABS. While Moores Animal Feeds look after the Heifer Championship, Semex NI supply the best pairs with vouchers and G E McLarnon & Sons Ltd finance the prizes for the top groups.
The Ayrshire Section benefits from generous sponsorship from John Thompson & Sons Ltd, Ulster Ayrshire Cattle Club and OB Construction. The Holstein classes are supported financially by United Feeds,Emerald Isle Recycle and OB Construction. The Champion Ayrshire & Holstein go home even happier thanks to Robert A Duncan & Co. who are again sponsoring a Pollocks standard brush. In the Jersey Section Thornton Roofing are providing cash prizes for the Champion & Reserve Jersey while the classes are sponsored by the Templeton Hotel.
AI Services are giving more exhibitors a bite at the cherry by offering vouchers to the Ayrshire, Holstein & Jersey exhibitors with the highest accumulated points in each of the Dairy breeds.
Beefing up the rewards in the Beef Section are Ulster Bank who generously sponsor the Supreme Pedigree Beef Champion. George Hamilton Machinery & Cattle Handling Equipment Specialists ensures that the winners in the Beef Stakes & Beef Heifer Derby go home well rewarded. The Beef Breed Classes are boosted by support from A Hyde Farm Feeds, Christies Direct, Dorepoll Herefords, Ernest Hall Menswear & Dress Hire, Frank Warwick Agricultural Merchants, J A McClelland & Sons, Macrete (Ireland) Ltd,Marquess Farm Meats, McCormack Family Butchers, Mel Lucas UPVC Windows and Doors, NI Limousin Cattle Club, Randox Laboratories Ltd, The Meat Joint, Warwick Engineering NI Ltd and W J Ervine Bitmac Contractors.
Sheep & Goats
The top sheep in the country should be flocking to Antrim for the Northern Bank/NISA Sheep Championship. Antrim is very pleased to host again the Northern Ireland Blue-faced Leicester Ram Classification and Progeny Show as well as the Mules Progeny Show. In the Sheep Section the Show acts as a qualifier for the Tesco Rare Breeds Sheep Derby. Points can also be attained towards the Border Leicester Exhibitor of the Year Award, A T Robinson Perpetual Trophy in the Charollais classes, the Ile de France Breeders Cup and the Rouge De L'Ouest Show Flock of the Year.
The prizes in the Sheep Section are something to "bleat" about thanks to sponsorship from Northern Bank for the Champion of Champions, John Thompsons Ltd for the top groups and the Ulster Wool Group Ltd for the best pairs. In addition the breed classes attract support from A Hyde Farm Feeds, Ballyvoy Service Station, Bibby, Bradys Supervalu, Campbell & Hoy, Castledawson Pharmacy, Christies Direct, Firmount Veterinary Clinic, GDF Constructions, J J & S E McBride Vets, Ballycastle, John McCurry & Sons, McCaughan Animal Health, NI Texel Sheep Breeders Club, Ollardale Ltd, Randox Laboratories Ltd, Swaledale Sheep Breeders Association Chairman and Warwick Engineering.
This year Antrim plans to move the Goat Section including the cute little Pygmies into a different area beside the Trade Stands allowing spectators a better perspective.
Young Handlers
Interbreed Young Handler Competitions were first run at Antrim's Centenary Show and thanks to sponsorship from Northern Bank these will run again for the Dairy and Beef sections. New sponsor in 2007, Geoffrey Fleck - GDF Construction has upped his sponsorship to provide prize money for the Sheep Young Handlers, both sponsors obviously realising the benefits in encouraging the exhibitors of the future.
Horses & Ponies
In the Horse field SVM Properties are repeating their sponsorship of the Supreme Champion & Reserve In Hand and Doagh Farm Feeds are ensuring the Champion Cob and Reserve go home better off, while Danny Kinahan Fine Art sponsors the Champion & Reserve Hunter. The Irish Draught Horse Society is continuing sponsoring excellent prize and appearance money for their foal class. While Dennison Commercials Ltd supports the Thoroughbred section. Antrim is once again a qualifying show for the NISA/Geoffrey Tanner Clydesdale Championship. All of these factors should help to bring out the entries in this sector of the Show.
For the first time Antrim show are running classes affiliated to the British Miniature Horse Society, it is hoped that these extra classes will attract an increased number of exhibitors, they always prove popular with the spectators. The Pony section has also had a major revamp, to include Show Hunter Pony and Mountain & Moorland Classes. The Family Pony classes have also been extended and will include a small obstacle course to test the ponies "bomb proof" qualities. These extra classes are being supported by new sponsors Horseware, Antrim and Laurel View Equestrian Centre.
Ponies will also play a major role in one the main arena attractions, as Antrim are delighted to welcome the Pony Club Games to Antrim Show. The speed and agility of the competitors is amazing and is definitely going to be a real crowd pleaser.
The Show Jumping events should be well supported thanks to the tremendous prize fund provided by Dunadry Hotel & Country Club, F G Dubois & Co, Islandbawn Stores and Stonebridge Horse Feeds. The Show Jumping prize fund has been further boosted this year as Easy Park and Trevor McConnell Agricultural Merchant have joined the sponsors in this section allowing Antrim to extend the events on offer to attract a wider range of riders.
Home Industries, Horticulture & Schools
In the Home Industries and Horticulture marquee there is always great competition and a sumptuous array of exhibits. The strong competition in the Schools section looks set to continue with Living Creatures being the theme this year. The show is greatly indebted to Logwood Plant Centre, Standing Stone Potatoes and Tesco, Antrim for their sponsorship in this marquee.
Sponsorship of all varieties has and will be gratefully received, other sponsors promising or providing support to Antrim Show to date are Bairds of Antrim, Creagh Concrete Products Ltd, Crumlin Livestock Market, DARD, Five Corners Guest Inn, Glenfarm Holdings Limited, Harman Fine Furnishers, Jones, Birnie & Steele - NFU Mutual Crumlin, Kernohan, McConnell & Kelly NFU Mutual, Ballyclare, McBurney Heating & Plumbing Ltd, McCombe Bros (Antrim) Ltd., O'Rorke, McDonald & Tweed, P&O European Ferries (Irish Sea) Limited, Plant Hoses, Ross Farm Supplies, Samuel McCausland Ltd, S R & W J Johnston, Agricultural Contractors and T H Duffin.
The full programme of events is still being added to, but another attraction always popular is the Children's Pet Show especially with cash prizes for the winners and a small prize for all, sponsored and judged by Clare Veterinary Group.
The County Antrim Competitions Day will be back again this year, bringing many YFC activities and attractions while testing the Young Farmers abilities, technically, mentally and physically, with a large dose of fun thrown in and probably a bucket or two of water!
Alistair Lindsay Agricultural Contractor is providing the finance for the Vintage Tractor Display which always prove very popular, showing clearly how farm mechanisation has moved on.
The show is planning plenty of side shows and attractions to keep kids of all ages amused. There are also many trade stands and stalls to browse including everything from creative crafts to calorific cakes.
VIPs on show day will once again be treated to a special lunch catered by Dohertys Outside Catering and funded by Carryduff & Omagh Auctions.

A 30-year-old man died after jumping off an 11-storey building at an office complex in Sector 30 on Saturday.
Deceased Amit Suri was identified by a driving licence and office ID card found from his wallet. No suicide note was found.
The Sector-40 police said Suri jumped from Tower-A of Park Centra, an office complex off National Highway-8.
Suri was a resident of Vikaspuri in Delhi and owned a logistics firm in Rajender Place. Eyewitnesses claimed that the victim's brother was speaking to some girl on the phone and blamed her for Suri's death.
A post-mortem was conducted. This is the second case of suicide in the office complex in less than a year.

-- -- -- never throws against the wall as an ESPN Boston joining us. On the eighteenth the hotline Jackie my little Dario. All right guys thank you guys -- today. Good I guess we'll just before we look for let's look back at this series and at what stands out to me the most is that and as good as the knicks war. The Celtics with you know a viable point guard and fewer turnovers that won the series this first round you think. No no no. I dealt I think it took to get the for the series that it but the knicks were better and more talented deeper. Better scores which is to -- -- as though he's a perpetual problem for the Celtics team. So I mean I think he'd look at any series and they did this happen and that happened but I think the right team won frankly. And that's not take anything away from the effort and the resiliency that once again. That core veterans showed you'll love it. It makes you so appreciative of what they'd do. That but yeah I can't cannot comment sorry dear. The fifth. Do you explain how maybe in to -- fourth quarter for one quarter we saw the view Braly that we thought. You know that was what meant something and I was so glad for him because he's a hardworking kid he's -- good -- And and you know we suspected. That one of the shoulder was bothering him he never said a word and I give them a lot of credit for that. But you know no matter how you look at it. What they asked him to do is he would -- -- ready for he was overwhelmed by the city still young player I'm not sure guys he's never going to be. The kind of player that can handle the point in an NBA game. You know as a fulltime role I just don't think that's what his skill -- is. And and that you know you're looking at I was joking with someone like that he saved himself about twenty iPad. Thousand dollars an intensive therapy by that fourth quarter because they get he had done that he goes into the offseason that the with a series he had it would have been grim. So it was great for the Celtics. It's what Avery does best that pressure poking out from behind he he didn't try to do too much and I thought earlier in the series. When things can go his way he tried to hit a home run on defense make up for a -- You know there was one -- in particular member I think it was game one where he -- like it was game two we flew out to JR Smith. To try to close out and we'll pack him you know and their adjustable patent for Olympic and -- don't spend and that but he was trying to make up with. Make up for his ball handling problems in the -- problems with all the things he does best but -- He shot the ball too much too bad shots quick shots earlier in the -- and again he wanted to make up for it. I think what you saw in the final minutes with -- about an occasional. This is what I do. On this gonna do the best I can't -- that and if I can make a difference. Well and we start to look ahead now because it's been the -- couple of days people wondering what is next for this team and I'm curious Jacqui what. What domino do you think is best known more important but which one -- first is it deciding what the Celtics wanna do with Paul Pierce or deciding what Kevin Garnett wants to do long term. With his feature basketball. Well the -- together and -- all the cards in his situation as we now two years no trade clause. But I think he's I think he's taking probably -- -- -- I am not telling you what I did tell you what to do with Paul Pierce. And they have a big big decision to make here and it's so we've outlined it many times they -- you know on the have to make to -- a decision by June 30 they wanna buy palm for five million. Or you know they want amnesty him which could give them a little more I think a little more released either way. You know do you try to turn -- Paul Pierce. They had on them and try to trade him and gets something form I think if you buy it -- to the amnesty people say well how can you do that appears after everything he's done -- and I understand that. It's difficult emotional decision but if you're Paul Pierce at this point because I know you're on your -- wouldn't you like a choice about where you go. Wouldn't that be nice if the Celtics like you do that as opposed to getting whatever they can't see when the trade in which case you don't have -- say it. All. Guys guys what you just thought -- quickest and we've kind of danced around talked about before that the whole Stephen -- rumor about the clippers tonight and I'm trying to figured out because habit. If that's a way for Chris Paul assigned long term it doesn't but it -- gonna be that long term with them is maybe even Doc Rivers that it. -- -- Even say what did he really really did he knows stuff. I he'd have a hard time believing that Doc Rivers is gonna walk away from that I have a really hard time believing that go back to what he said. At a press conference and I guess it was 2011 now when he signed that five year deal and shocked all of us. He talked about he means. And the Celtics but he was really talking about -- Showing faith in him when things aren't going right member he's he's presiding over an eight team game losing streak the team that you know had no chance of making the playoffs. He people forget when when -- first came here really wouldn't go that well. And he talked about lying to pay any back for that kind of loyalty and that kind of faith and he's gonna walk away from the team now. Pat that's not the Doc Rivers -- now. I feel like he's gonna give him at least one more year now if you expect if he decides that you know walk away for well after next year OK I. Guys I just can't -- not on that I don't based on the very limited conversations I've had them and accorsi has been tipped -- hand anybody I don't see. I think he's back. Well I think the reason that it's at least a conversation has report the nets are gonna try to talk to doctor -- whatever reason -- ask permission but. The way he answered at least in the initial media scrum after the acting Jackie when he's asked about his future needs that I don't know a lot are now. Without a contract for three years and I think the way he answered it leads the speculation of what you mean you don't know you're under contract is -- and try to -- go to TV for a year replaced van Gundy and then MB of freeagent a year from now. Right I understand all that but you know what he says that at the end of the year and he said it was a few days earlier in practice. When I was trying to press them about what he wouldn't cut which way -- he was leaning -- -- -- -- now he's gonna retire if you ask me right now I want to retire. I mean doc is you know it's a long grind it hasn't gone away we hope he -- and then I sit at home for a few days and and might might like Chris wants -- the heck out of the house the kids want nothing to do with me and I realize OK I need to go back. So I think any coach at the end of a long grueling season with all the injuries they had it again I don't know I don't know that after that initial -- you're referring to. As he was blocking back -- is an office it was a much smaller group of us talking to him. And you know again we're pressing him on on his future he said look. -- -- you know he should be -- an apology -- -- other guys I'm coming back until I say I'm not coming back. That's not to be like god it's coming back now he often took a big but in a -- can make a lot of money is not -- Celtics don't compensate and he certainly they do. -- -- ES PM boston.com is joining used to go back to pierce the your point about letting him sort of pick and choose where he wants to go does this organization. They have the stomach to do that -- to bot either buy him out or amnesty him and just relinquish his rights and say you're an asset we can probably packaging younger player with the U. But we wanna give you the chance to do I wonder about. You know the ownership and -- -- -- going to be -- battle back and -- as -- -- doors. Paul Pierce we know that and it I've -- I think he'd have a hard time to Sanyo walk away goal. Via I ate a piece of a championship team -- -- contender somewhere -- next year or not. -- questions and an election they try to type. Paul -- before the February deadline last it is just a question about that they've they were they were prepared to deal both pierce and Garnett for the right price. It's seemed to me. They'd be ready to do that again for the right price now the promise you -- Celtics this. Popular this value has dropped this year. -- there's no denying it doesn't mean he can't help the team. Doesn't mean he is an all time great what I tell you one of my favorite players of all time here because of the personal and professional growth he showed here I can't -- -- -- Well I think a populist. I've just grown to appreciate him so much and I think sometimes still. He's under appreciated in this market I I really feel that way because he's not perfect he makes mistakes he says things you know at times he shouldn't that thing wrapped around. You know they all those years ago -- -- done some kind of quirky things. But then he is. Committee one of the the best Celtics we've ever had here and I think that all that they know they were looking at willing to trade him last year because they had to. Because that's business and eat and you know he can't stand it that's what he says hey I might have to come back here signed for a day and retired public you know with cumin and if your him. You're you're much better served coming off the bench. As a veteran presence on the contending team -- about twenty some odd minutes tonight to keep your legs fresh. Same thing with Garnett played 25 minutes tonight and help the team win the championship. It's wrong to ask these guys to deal with the Celtics. Had to ask them to do this season because of all the injuries they can't do anymore they shouldn't have to do it anymore and their bodies are breaking down because -- Yeah I just wonder he looks up people look at Danny it's it was really get most of this window is really grown produce that your window and they're all still here and that's why look at and signal. With what they've waited for the snow last couple of years everybody speculating I don't they if they tried deadline. When Nixon dictate we get a healthy Rondo back in soldier back and Jeff Greene to step forward to bring them all back bring a whole band back together again we can make one more run. I think it's possible that they don't get what they want if they don't. Militants if they get rid of -- they get rid of that kind of in the great way to put it. If they let your skull if they let Garnett go to a you know placed -- mutually agreeable to him -- to the team. And you carve out the space you don't -- nearly much as much as you want and we don't have time to talk about the salary cap -- its intricacies because you show would be over at 2 o'clock. We and we put people asleep because it's too much right red tape. But but the point is you don't get nearly as much related to take its not like that that eleven million in the fifteen million dramatically comes up the book doesn't work that way you don't have. Thirty million to go out and chop around. But you wouldn't have a certain amount -- If you're the Celtics we know that about parliament's Millsap everybody -- Paul -- so that's -- no you know breaking news story they have enough to get him now I don't think they do. Do they have enough to get someone like Al Jefferson who we've heard -- name incurred before we're gonna hear it again because he's also a free agent. In my mind milk that's more desirable that had the injury history -- better defender and it took -- a real Frontline top player. -- but can you get Jefferson here who always you never want to leave here in the first site has only talked about coming back here who loved Dawkins doc let him. Do you bring him back -- will eat cake. Maybe take a little bit of a discount to come back now I'm almost -- here who noted that can now happen. But there are possibilities. I guess Friday not real good. Arts donate go to training camp -- this is what we will not hold you to this but is it more likely that this same cast the characters is back in a similar order or. Is it more hours or more likely know KG no Paul and a brand new looking Celtics roster for 2013 2004. I can't be a brand new roster doesn't get too many guys under contract so they have to trade a lot of they'd have to -- a lot of guys who are not so treatable at the moment once Courtney Lee right now who wants to take on Jason Terry's numbers you know that the problem. So I'm gonna say knows it yet here's the other scenario that we haven't talked about that is entirely possible. They hang on the KG they hang on the -- and they wait till the trading deadline in February next year. And get the most they can form I think that scenario as well. -- great stuff is always should be an interesting off season appreciate the time and I enjoy the weekend. You got demoted -- Colin dockers and talent to get his plans clear because it's muddling up our week at. Why did we need to Jackie when I appreciate letting us know on a column goes up beacon drop a dime our way I'll let people know what's on people. You wanna make sure docs to be back he's a big linchpin here. Right I know I couldn't agree more -- -- at my gut tells me he's back but my -- been -- before. Now we're making you get to work thanks -- -- -- it the best vacuum equality SP in boston.com Jackie I'd joins us brought to you by. -- Nashua by now Newton Wellesley dental partners.

Alaska will lead with energy; we will prove you can be both pro-development and pro-environment, because no one loves their clean air and their land and their wildlife and their water more than an Alaskan. We will protect it.
Yes, America must look north to the future for security, for energy independence, for our strategic location on the globe. Alaska is the gate-keeper of the continent.
So, we are here today at a changing of the guard. Now, people who know me, and they know how much I love this state, some still are choosing not to hear why I made the decision to chart a new course to advance the state. And it should be so obvious to you [indicating heckler]. It is because I love Alaska this much, sir [at heckler], that I feel it is my duty to avoid the unproductive, typical, politics-as-usual, lame-duck session in one's last year in office. How does that benefit you? No, with this decision now, I will be able to fight even harder for you, for what is right, for truth. And I've never felt like you need a title to do that.
So, as we all move forward together, let's vow to keep championing Alaska, to advocate responsible development, and smaller government, and freedom, and when I took the oath to serve you, I promised ... remember I promised to steadfastly and doggedly, guard the interests of this great state like that grizzly guards her cubs, as a mother naturally guards her own. And I will keep that vow wherever the road may lead. Todd and I, and Track, Bristol, Tripp, Willow, Piper, Trig ... I think I got 'em all. We will forever be so grateful for the honour of our lifetime to have served you. Our whole big, diverse, full and fun family, we all thank you and I am very, very blessed to have had their support all along, for Todd's support. I am thankful, too. I have been blessed to have been raised in this last frontier. Thank you for our home, Mom and Dad, because in Alaska it is not an easy living, but it is a good living, and here it is impossible to lose your way. Wherever the road may lead you, we have that steadying great north star to guide us home.
So let's all enjoy the ride, and I thank you Alaska, and God bless Alaska and God bless America.
This is an edited excerpt of the Governor of Alaska's resignation speech, delivered on Sunday afternoon in the city of Fairbanks

No wagging: Sony kills contentious commercial
Page Tools
Sony Australia has ditched its first major brand advertising campaign in four years after the characters depicted in the ad offended viewers as far afield as Brazil, where the film was shot.
The 45-second commercial, which was filmed in Rio de Janeiro, shows a group of young friends, with tails, wagging them enthusiastically as they try out Sony products.
But on seeing the ad Sony executives in Brazil complained to Sony head office in Tokyo which then ordered Australia to take it off the air.
The commercial, which cost $1 million to make, did not run in Brazil but acquired a following on the internet.
Sony has said the decision to discontinue the ad after its initial six-week run was because it wanted to feature more product in its ads, a direct contravention of what it said at the launch of "Wag" - that the brand would be the hero.
Ironically, the decision comes as initial results of the ad, made by Sydney's FNL Communications, show it is tracking well.
Back in May, Sony's brand communications manager, Megan Short, said the ad was a "key pillar in the company's marketing strategy in 2004" and a reminder to consumers of a "powerful emotional connection to the brand".
Sony Australia is understood to have used the complaints as an excuse to ditch the ad and bend to Tokyo's directive to run more product-based advertising, which it is now doing in ads for WEGA and Cybershot.
Yesterday Sony communications manager Nina Hearne denied Sony Brazil had had a hand in the decision to ditch it but admitted there had been complaints from both Australia and Brazil.
"We have had some feedback, most of it positive, but some people did not understand it or found it quirky."
She said the ad had "run its course and done its job". Previous Sony brand campaigns got at least a second burst later in the year.
The ad was considered by some complainants as in poor taste and potentially offensive to Brazilians, who might have considered the images of the ad's actors with animal parts as derogatory to what is a heavily mixed-race country.
"We received some complaints about the content and it was felt it offended some sensitivities which would not have been our intention," Sony Tokyo said.
Sony is facing increasing competition on all fronts from cheaper Korean rivals.

Dawn Everson Releases LIFE'S FIGHT, LOVE'S MIGHT
From a highly skilled author Dawn Everson comes a poignant and harrowing volume that shares the gut-wrenching and deeply heart-searching tale of the author as she fought many unimaginable battles in life in "Life's Fight, Love's Might". This book aims to expose the truth about Everson's lifetime experience of lies, betrayal and cover-ups.
They say that love and hope are sustaining forces when life is cruel, meaningless and chaotic. Since Saint George rescued her in his white stallion 47 years ago, the author's husband has brought her great happiness and immense depths of despair. United they stood against unimaginable hardship, but often she stood alone against the serious and the shocking.
This book is a true story of how one woman was betrayed by her family, the society in which she lived in, and the system which was supposed to protect her. The boy she meets becomes her lifelong love, who takes her to heaven and hell.
The world today is unpredictable and the society reflects that fact. "Life's Fight, Love's Might" has a message that it is possible to live through life's chaos and mess. One can begin to acquire great strength and wisdom to understand things as they are, accept failures and rejection as part of life and have the audacity to move on.
