Yvonne Martin and David Hallett, authors of Fiordland, pick their top ten from the area's wealth of wonders.
Fiordland may not be a traditional summer getaway but it has charms aplenty for holidaymakers looking for more than just another sandy beach.
Homer Saddle nature walk
Many Fiordland visitors drive straight through the Homer Tunnel, hell-bent on getting to Milford Sound to catch a boat. But pause on the Te Anau side of the tunnel along State Highway 94, take in the splendour of the Darran Mountains, read about the tunnel workers who lost their lives, and follow the short-walk track. Nature's version of the Chelsea Flower Show, it includes the Mt Cook lily (actually a giant buttercup), mountain daisies and tiny native orchids.
Gertrude Saddle
For more intrepid travellers, a day-walk up to the 1410m Gertrude Saddle will place them on top of the world. For a modest fee, a stay in the New Zealand Alpine Club's Homer Hut in the upper Hollyford Valley will ensure an early start and more time to enjoy the panoramic views. Gertrude is a cirque or deep bowl-shaped hollow, formed by ancient glaciers.
It is at its charming best in summer when dense alpine herb fields burst into flower. Other rewards are staring down the barrel of Gulliver Valley, all the way to Milford Sound, and the chance of seeing or hearing a rock wren, New Zealand's only true alpine bird, which thrives in the alps as high as 2400m.
Borland Rd
The construction of the controversial Manapouri power scheme in the 1970s also opened up new frontiers of tramping. The Borland Rd follows the lines of pylons that criss-cross the landscape, feeding electricity to Bluff's aluminium smelter. Pass the Borland Lodge and follow the gravel road up the 1000m-high Borland Saddle. From the lookout, take in the Hunter Mountains, where moa thrived and giant eagles soared. It is a little-known fact that this is also the site of one of the world's largest recorded landslides (about 12,000 years ago). An estimated 27 cubic kilometres of material slid into the Grebe Valley, triggered by an earthquake. Walk through beech forest to "the tops" or follow the track to Green Lake, festooned with Mt Cook lilies in spring.
Kepler Track
The 67km Kepler Track, flanked by lakes Te Anau and Manapouri, can be walked in either direction and takes three or four days. But for the time-poor, both ends of the track can be done as day walks. Brod Bay to Luxmore Hut is a steady 8.2km climb along a manicured track. Towering, cathedral-like limestone bluffs are reached within several hours and the view from the hut of the Hidden Lakes and across the South Fiord to the Murchison Mountains is breathtaking. At the other end, a gentle 6km stroll from Rainbow Reach to Moturau Hut traverses beech forest, passing white heron fishing in the Waiau River and a wetland left behind by a retreating glacier about 14,000 years ago.
Lake Marian
A three-hour round trip to Lake Marian leads to one of Fiordland's most dramatic hanging valleys. Nestled in a bowl, Lake Marian is surrounded by sheer granite walls about 1700m high, forming a natural, icy amphitheatre. The track starts a kilometre down the Lower Hollyford Rd. It is a playground, not just for trampers but for paradise shelducks, bellbirds in the surrounding stunted forest, and kea, the mountain parrot.
Hollyford Track
Less popular than the Milford Track and less accessible than the Kepler, is the Hollyford Track. It can be walked all year round because of its low altitude. The track's three-wire bridges and the 10km Demon Trail have earned their infamy, but the gentle amble from the end of the Lower Hollyford Road to the Hidden Falls Hut is well worth investing several hours in. Better still, stay overnight in the hut and wake to the sun shining on Mount Madeline's snowy peak.
The Key
The three-hour return walk to The Key from the Milford Rd offers a range of habitat from tall beech forest to miniature subalpine gardens and Lord of the Rings-style bogs. For a relatively easy climb, the summit offers the best views of the Darran Mountains and surrounding valleys. The track starts at The Divide car park and climbs 300m over an hour to the lower reaches of the summit. It also acts as the first - or last - leg of the Routeburn and Greenstone tracks.
Milford Sound
By day, Milford Sound is awash with boats of all sizes and descriptions and planes buzzing overhead. But come late afternoon, the "city of Milford" clears out, and peace descends once more. This is the perfect time to climb aboard a boat and take an overnight cruise of the Sound. Waking up in the sheltered Harrison Cove to softly lapping waters and the sight of towering, snow-capped peaks is an unforgettable experience.
Doubtful Sound
Guided kayaking trips are available in Doubtful Sound, even for people of little experience. Options range from day trips to a few days camping. Trips are usually fully catered, leaving visitors to bring personal effects and plenty of sandfly repellent. Doubtful Sound may not be as striking as Milford Sound, but it is larger and less busy. Wilderness kayak trips into Dusky and Breaksea Sounds are dependent on weather.
Middle Earth
Be Peter Jackson for a day. Take a helicopter flight from Te Anau to Lake Norwest, his favourite film location. The lake has "pinch me" views over the Hunter Mountains and Lake Manapouri.

Dorothy is Elmo's pet goldfish who first appeared on the "Elmo's World" segment of Sesame Street. At six years old (in goldfish years)[1], she is a good friend to Elmo, who can understand what she's saying through her goldfish bowl. Dorothy is inquisitive and possesses an active imagination. Whatever topic is explored, Dorothy mentally pictures a version of Elmo in an appropriate role or form.
Dorothy is not a Muppet, but is portrayed by a real, live goldfish (most likely, multiple goldfish over the course of the series).
When represented in books or toys, Dorothy often has a feminine appearance, including big eyelashes. This is also not typical for your average goldfish.
First introduced on "Elmo's World" in 1998, Dorothy has also made appearances in the main Sesame Street storyline, beginning in 2000, thus demonstrating her independent existence outside of Elmo's imagination. Episodes in which Dorothy has played a key role in the main street action include:
- Episode 3918 - Elmo takes Dorothy to Dr. Gina for a checkup.
- Episode 3938 - Maria takes care of Dorothy, Telly's hamster, Herry's bird, and Gabi's friend's rabbit, all while she's trying to work.
- Episode 4042 - Elmo must select a fish-sitter for Dorothy before accompanying Gordon to a sporting event.
- Episode 4058 - Dorothy is among the competitors vying for the title of "Best Pet in the World."
Ten years before Dorothy was introduced, Elmo had a pet fish named Barkley. Nine years afterwards, Elmo had another goldfish named Bubbles, who passed away, much to Elmo's despair. Telly and Miles gave him another goldfish in the same episode to cheer him up, in which Elmo names his third fish, "Miles-Telly".

Sarah Lacy, a reporter with BusinessWeek just issued this article about On Demand/SaaS businesses.
I had an opportunity to meet and get to know Sarah in 2004 because she did a long story about me and Siebel's entrance into the OnDemand market. I have a lot of respect for her and her opinion. However, I take issue with a few of the conclusions one might reach by simply reading this article and taking it at face value.
On Demand or SaaS isn't a panacea, it's a business model. Companies won't succeed simply because they are SaaS-based. You still have to build a compelling application that solves a real business problem that people will really use and pay money for. However, what the SaaS model has done is to give customers the ability to try a few seats and then "walk away" with relatively few sunk costs when a vendor fails to deliver real business value. Under the traditional enterprise model most customers needed months/years to do a pilot — which seldom gave them a complete picture – and once they committed they were committed forever because of the psychological and financial investment. So big projects like Oracle, PeopleSoft, Siebel, etc. rolled on even when it was clear that the customer wasn't happy with the expense or the value.
What I can say as a former traditional enterprise software executive who had to be "retooled" for SaaS, is that SaaS companies need to sell, market and support differently than traditional enterprise software; this is where a lot of firms are getting into trouble. Many don't have executives who are experienced with SaaS and they attempt to do it the way they've always done it (hence the reference to getting on planes in the article — you can't afford to do that with most SaaS models). Instead, you need to couple a strong direct inside sales program with a product that can have a somewhat viral element or a strong partner program that helps to substantially reduce the cost of sales and marketing over time. And, a customer success team that is compensated to ensure people use the service and are happy with it.
By my count, there are 27 public SaaS companies that have figured out how to build a compelling application and deliver it profitably via a SaaS model — and they didn't each take $100M of capital to get there. As Sarah reported, there are a lot more that haven't and probably won't.

Judge DeVries Attends National Conference on Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Disorders
PORTSMOUTHJudge Sharon N. DeVries, who presides over a District Court pilot project designed to expedite disposition of drunk driving cases, participated in a national conference focused
on the connections between substance abuse and mental health disorders.
The conference was sponsored by the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada, the nations leading institution for ongoing judicial education. Judge DeVries participation was made possible by a scholarship from the State Justice Institute.
Titled "Co-occurring Mental and Substance Abuse Disorders," the program, held in Reno last fall, was designed to enhance judges understanding of the two issues and their impact on cases and defendants in the justice system. Participants learn to identify and assess defendants with substance abuse and mental health disorders in order to select appropriate treatment and monitoring strategies.
"This program allowed judges from around the country to exchange information and learn from our collective experiences," said Judge DeVries, who has served on the District Court for 15 years. In addition to classroom work, the participating judges attended a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, whose treatment program is often a part of sentencing orders, and they observed proceedings in a court that specializes in mental health issues.
The non-profit State Justice Institute, headquartered in Alexandria, Va. was established by the federal government to award grants to improve the quality of justice in state courts. Institute grants are also intended to promote better communication between the state and federal courts to help resolve common problems.
As part of the Portsmouth pilot project, the District Court devotes one day per week to disposition of cases in which a defendant has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. The pilot project, which also operates one day a week in Merrimack District Court, is funded by the New Hampshire Department of Safety and is intended to address both behavioral issues as well as penalties in DUI cases.
The aim of the pilot project is to resolve cases expeditiously so that defendants confront issues involving alcohol abuse as soon as possible and begin treatment. Cases are completed within approximately 60 days of arraignment. Experts believe that speedy resolution of these cases, and immediate intervention on issues of both substance abuse and mental health disorders, reduces the likelihood that a defendant will commit another alcohol related offense.
More information about the State Justice Institute is available at http://www.statejustice.org.

We Support and Nurture Our Parents and Children
When parents and sponsors bring children to the baptismal font, they promise to:
- nurture them in faith and prayer,
- put the Holy Scriptures in their hands,
- teach them to trust God,
- teach them the Lord's Prayer, the Creed and the Ten Commandments,
- be an example of Christ through what we say and do,
- show them how to care for others and work for justice and peace.
As a congregation, we provide a community of support for parents in their vocation of raising children.
How We Do This
- We welcome children (including babies) to our worship services, which include a children's sermon. Children are not taken away at any time.
- We offer a nursery during worship time for children ages 1–5 in case parents want to let them play for a bit. The children are brought back to parents at communion time.
- We teach children songs and have them sing during worship a few times a year.
- We provide Spark Story Bibles to our children.
- We hold faith formation classes for children in preschool through high school at 9:45 AM on Sunday mornings from September through May.
- We prepare our children to receive Holy Communion and our youth to make their Affirmation of Baptism.
- We accompany youth to Virginia Synod youth gatherings.
- We gather for cross-generational learning events.
To see what's coming up for children and youth, see our latest bulletin, read our newsletters, or call the office: 757-229-6688.

In a recent blog post of mine, I mentioned that Forrester had launched the Retail eCommerce Playbook. This playbook provides a structured framework to guide eBusiness professionals through their most strategic initiatives in eCommerce – from creating a vision to benchmarking results against peers.
It's not a secret that consumers are constantly connected to the Web and it's having a huge impact on how they research and buy products in every sector. As such, it is imperative that eBusiness executives have the appropriate tools and knowledge to execute a strong web presence that not only showcases their brand but also enables shoppers and store associates to research and buy. We crafted this playbook to address all the key elements of success. This playbook will help you:

bangbang,when I got mine I lived in a small populated county,about 4500 total,DON'T COUNT ON THAT WHERE YOU LIVE!!!!!!J.R.
They told me it will take 3-4 weeks to get the regular purchase permit...it took 1 day.
They say that the CCW permit can take up to 90 days (or longer)...but within 90 days, they have to give you the status of the application.
Maybe, my luck will carry over to the CCW, and I can have that done in a month or so...
The criminal record check for the handgun took all of 1 day for me...so the slightly more extensive check they do for the CCW, may take a week. Anything after that, and they are just making you wait for the sake of making you wait.
The earliest CCW class is Feb 10th. I think I may take it, and begin the process.
bangbang,when I got mine I lived in a small populated county,about 4500 total,DON'T COUNT ON THAT WHERE YOU LIVE!!!!!!J.R.
I still find it funny that I have a handgun, and I was not even supposed to have the permit for another 2 weeks...
I am signed up for the Feb. 10th CCW class, and I hope to schedule my appointment with the Sheriff within a week or two of my course completion. At this rate, I will ahve the CCW no later than June 1st...but I hope to have it in May...or dare I say...April???
I finished paying my state extortion fe - err - got my CA Handgun Safety Certificate on Saturday. $30 bucks, 10 minutes.
Hey Dood, 30 bucks now? I thought it was 25. Mine was 20(in 2003) and they're all good for 5 years. After it expires, you pay the fee again and have to take the 30 question test again. Miss more than seven multiple choice questions and you fail and have to pay to take it all over again, unless you opt for the 2 hour safety course instead, which you still pay for. Most people that are "into" guns have no problem aceing the test without even using the safety booklet that you can study before taking it. And after all is said and done with new Safety Certificate in hand, you still can't get that certain pistol you wanted new or used(unless it is an approved C&R gun) shipped to your FFL if it's out of state and isn't listed on the CA roster of approved handguns or an older gun that doesn't have the mandated safety features, unless it's already owned within the state and comes up for sale. The term "extortion" is exactly right.
The $30 is because the establishment that provides the testing is entitled to a fee.
And if you fail, the fee entitles you to take the test one more time within 24 hours.
But, yeah, getting handguns here is ridiculously difficult. Serves no purpose but to pour more money into Sacrademento.

Sally's Recipe of the Week: New York Strip In Cast Iron Skillet
New York Steak in a Cast Iron Skillet
Serves 2
Here is what you will need:
2 New York strip steaks, about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sprig of rosemary
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Slice up your garlic nice and thin.
I like to trim the excess fat off steak when I'm pan frying it. But don't toss it out. I'll explain in a second.
Drizzle the steak with the olive oil and scatter the rosemary and garlic slices on the steak. Season with salt and pepper and rub all over. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the trimmed fat and a small amount of olive oil.
Let the fat render a bit and the oil get hot.
Add steaks to pan.
Cook for about 3 minutes per side for medium rare.
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes.
You can slice it and serve it or serve it whole.
I chose to serve it whole with some caramelized onion, green beans and couscous!

The SEO Process
What are the steps in our Small Business Search Engine Optimisation. The first thing we'll do is look at your website and make sure it's coded correctly, and contains all the various bells and whistles Google is looking for in a high ranking site. This involves both a detailed technical knowledge, and the ability to keep an ear to the ever changing grapevine of IT and ecommerce. These factors are continually changing as Google struggles to make its search algorithm the most effective it can be, and of course to outflank web spammers who are constantly seeking to promote their websites through unscrupulous methods.
Once we've optimised your small business website to make it streamlined as a Ferrari, coding wise, we'll turn our attention to the content. Once of the principle ways Google determines relevancy for a given website is by examining its content. Say your website is about white golf balls, you'll need to have a number of mentions of this keyword phrase, ideally underlined in one instance, in italics, and using the 'strong' rather than 'bold' function. These are all tiny flags drawing the Google robot's attention to the fact that this phrase is held in some importance and, furthermore, to the fact that your URL will be closely linked to it.
Off Page Factors
The next factor in dominating the Google SERPS for your small business, is to work on the off page factors. Barefoot SEO holds great pride in its extraordinarily diverse network of HIGH PR backlinks, (article marketing sites, video sharing, text-links, comment and forums, and many more too secret to mention) which add immediate authority to our clients sites by association, and which are the mainstay of one of the UK's most complex and long established SEO platforms. We're one of the top small business search engine SEO services UK for a reason, and it's because we get results.

Marin Municipal Water District officials said Tuesday night the county is facing a "severe" drought this year and approved a resolution calling for a 25 percent voluntary reduction in water use.
Initially the district was considering a 20 percent voluntary reduction, but the board upped the goal after hearing about the dire water situation.
"I think we can ask people to do a little more," said board member Larry Russell.
The county is in for another 1977-like rain year — when drought gripped Marin and forced mandatory cutbacks — according to projections.
"We are preparing for a severe drought in 2014," Jon LaHaye, principal engineer at the water district, told the water board.
The voluntary cutback adopted will not affect those who use less than 4,500 gallons a month. But for heavier users the board wants the public to take heed and reduce use.
"We need to get the conservation ethic set up," Russell said.
The lack of rain has shown up in the county's water consumption. Last year at this time 16.7 million gallons were used a day, or 90.4 gallons per person. This year that has jumped to 19.6 million galls a day, or 105.9 gallons per person.
For the third year in a row, the weather has been dry. As a result, reservoirs are much lower than normal for this winter season and are unlikely to fill with the spring runoff, according to the district.
This week the district's reservoirs contained 43,340 acre-feet and the reservoirs are at 54 percent of capacity. Typically at this time of year there are 63,058 acre feet and the reservoirs are at 79 percent of capacity. An acre foot can supply about three single-family homes with water for a year. There are 325,851 gallons in an acre foot.
If the district's watersheds do not receive a substantial amount of rain over the next few months, the amount of water stored in the reservoirs will be looked at April 1.
At that point if there are less than 40,000 acre feet, a 25 percent mandatory program would be implemented. The current dry year water use reduction program was adopted by the district in February 1999 in response to the extended drought of 1987 through 1992.
Marin just experienced its driest year on record. In 2013, 10.68 inches of rain were recorded at Lake Lagunitas, where the water district — which has data dating to 1879 — keeps its official weather gauge.
The previous record low was set in 1929 when 19.06 inches of rain fell. The annual average is 52 inches per year.
The Marin Municipal Water District serves about 190,000 people between Sausalito and San Rafael and gets 25 percent of its water from Sonoma, the balance coming from local reservoirs on Mount Tamalpais.

FOSTERS FISH CAMP GLENN FOSTER MENTALLY INSANEBay of Quinte at Telegraph Narrows R.R. #2 Picton, Picton, Ontario Canada
FOSTERS FISH CAMP GLENN FOSTER MENTALLY INSANE GLENN FOSTER FOSTERS FISH CAMP, RUDE, ARROGANT, INSANE SAME OWNERS! Picton Ontario
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Where do we start? We stayed at Fosters Fish Camp during the month of February, and we will never stay again! They say they have new owners, but they DONT. The real owner, GLENN FOSTER, is an arrogant, rude, and mentally insane bald man who drives his golf cart all over the property, screaming at people and threatening violence. Their campers are shitty to say the least, 1970's vintage, with NO AIR. The electric is a joke. We asked for firewood and Glenn brought us a BUCKET of OLD PLYWOOD paneling from a destroyed camper! THEN wanted to charge us 5 bucks for it! We declined, and he went insane. Ranting and raving at us, in front of our children, swearing and hopping up and down. His wife, Barbara runs the office, and its her that really is to blame, for letting this insane man HARM PEOPLE. Which is unacceptable! He threatened us, so when we left we went straight to the police, who said they have had many, many complaints about this man.
But it doesnt end there! Oh no, Glenn got our phone number, and CALLED US OVER A THREE DOLLAR DIFFERENCE IN THE BILL, CALLING US THOUSANDS OF TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS! No joke!
We found out that all he does all day, since he cant behave himself, is sit up in his room, and call people over and over and over. PATHETIC. We took every one of his threatening messages left on our voice mail, and turned them over to the police, for harrassment. HIS FAMILY IS TO BLAME FOR THIS BEHAVIOR! No one else, no one. We blocked his number and reported him. The ONLY way this behavior can be stopped, to keep him from HARMING PEOPLE, is to get the law involved, and lock him up. And to warn people about this madman. And thats what we are doing. There is no reason in the world that people should be treated to this kind of psychotic behaviour, ESPECIALLY when you are IN BUSINESS! You have been warned!

In 1991 the League of Women Voters of Westchester established the Westchester County Fair Campaign Practices Committee (the Committee) as a separate and independent entity. The purpose of the Committee is to promote a climate in which candidates conduct honest, fair and open campaigns, refraining from dishonest and defamatory attacks and without distorting the facts.
The League plays no role in the Committee's deliberations or decisions but does provide support services and administers the funding. Underwriting for this project was made possible by a grant from the Westchester Community Foundation, a non-profit community endowment for the benefit of Westchester County.
The Committee is composed of community leaders who serve as unpaid volunteers. They represent a wide range of public interests and are recognized as being independent and fair minded. Members are chosen by representatives from the Committee and the League of Women Voters of Westchester. In addition, members representing recognized political parties serve ex-officio without vote; they contribute political perspective and experience to the discussion. Westchester residents are encouraged to send the Committee resumes of those they believe would be appropriate.

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Hello I am here to assist you.
Is this a gas furnace? Where is it located attic or basement?
ARe you there?
??I have a honeywell gas valve #sv9541 on my furnace its indicator light is flashing 3 times, stuck pressure switch or manual switch in off position, switch is in on position and i tried disconnecting power and gas and releiving pressure, with no luck.
furnace is gas and in attic, sorry slow typer
Make sure the flue vent pipes are not blocked with any snow, debris, birds nest, etc... You may have to go on the roof to check.
A blocked flue vent will keep the pressure switch from closing.
Let me know what you find.
flue vent clear unit isonly 6yrs old
The inducer fan motor is located inside the furnace cabinet and is connected to the flue vent pipes. It has a rubber hose attached to it that connects to a round pressure switch. Remove the top furnace panel door and locate what I just described.
already have
Once you have located it, remove the rubber hose and blow through it to make sure it is clear. Also inspect the hose for any breaks or tares in it. Then use a paper clip to clean out the connection at the inducer fan motor very good applying force if necessary. Make sure that the paper clip goes all the way through and touch the fan blades. Replace the hose when finish.
Attempt to turn the heat on. Make sure that the inducer fan motor comes on. It must be the first thing that comes on. Let me know if it doesn't.
hose is clear and able to touch fan blades thru fitting still getting no response earlier i by passed pressure switch and still got no response
It is very difficult to bypass a pressure switch. Is the inducer fan coming on?
That is your problem. It sounds like you have a bad inducer fan motor.
If the inducer fan motor does not come on, the pressure switch cannot close.
you do not think its the valve?
I would advise you to call a technician out to check to see if the inducer fan motor needs to be replaced. They will need to check with a volt meter, to see if the inducer motor is receiving voltage on a call for heat. If it is not receiving voltage, you have a bad control board. If it recieves voltage but does not come on, you have a bad motor.
No it is not the valve.
Please hit ACCEPT if you are satisfied with this answer. If not, I will continue to assist you. Bonuses and positive feedback are very much appreciated!

This is the home of Consumers International's (CI's) global projects on Consumers in the Digital Age, covering the three areas of Access to Knowledge (A2K) for consumers, broadband communications, and consumer rights and representation in the information society.
This Web site was launched in 2009 as part of the Global Consumer Dialog and Public Education Network on Access to Knowledge (A2K) Issues, originally funded by Ford Foundation. Through regional meetings and online dialogue, the Global Consumer Dialogue identifies problems consumers face in accessing and using copyright protected materials, highlighting access barriers that require further investigation, identifying the legitimate needs of artists and content creators, and reframing enforcement debates to advance member groups' economic, political, and cultural interests.
Since 2011, the site also hosts CI's activities on broadband communications, and consumer rights and representation in the information society. Our funders are the Open Society Institute (OSI), Ford Foundation, and IDRC: for details on who funds what, follow the links under our activities.
The consumer in today's digital world depends on communications networks such as the Internet, and to the ability to access and share knowledge across those networks. The consumer movement has an important role in ensuring that such networks and the works exchanged across them are accessible, affordable, reliable and safe.
CI's work on broadband and access to knowledge are designed to further these goals, through global campaigning for fairer laws and practices, holding industry players to account for their treatment of consumers, and capacity building for our members to empower them as activists for consumer rights online.

1. Principles and Criteria for Pesticide Risk Indicators
2. Collecting Statistics on Pesticide Use and Sales
3. The 2nd OECD Workshop on Pesticide Risk Indicators and Survey on National Indicators
4. Terrestrial Risk Indicators (TERI)
5. HAIR Project
In 1997-2004 the OECD Pesticide Programme carried out a project to develop indicators that can help governments to track trends in risk resulting from agricultural pesticide use. Two sets of indicators were developed: Aquatic Risk Indicators (ARI) and Terrestrial Risk Indicators (TERI). The indicators combine information on pesticide risks and use in order to show risk trends at a national or regional level. The indicators are intended to help governments measure progress in meeting their pesticide risk reduction goals.
In parallel to and related to this project, a number of activities were started on collecting and using data on pesticide usage and sales.
Now (2013-2014), the OECD is restarting its activities on pesticide risk indicators and is considering all existing indicators worldwide, including the HAIR indicators (developed in the EU framework). The Expert Group on Pesticide Risk Indicators will review them all and will decide on next steps for working towards the development of pesticide risk indicators for OECD countries.
Principles and Criteria for Pesticide Risk Indicators
The project began with a workshop in Copenhagen in April, 1997 Report of the [1st] OECD Workshop on Pesticide Risk Indicators , at which the OECD member governments agreed that pesticide risk indicators:
1. Aquatic Risk Indicators (ARI)
Following the Copenhagen workshop, the Pesticide Programme initiated a project to develop and test indicators for tracking trends in risks to aquatic organisms. The project developed, tested and experimented with three different indicators for tracking aggregate aquatic risk resulting from agricultural pesticide use. The project examined such issues as: the impact of data gaps on indicator results; the use of sales statistics as a basis for estimating pesticide use; the driving forces of pesticide risk indicators; simplicity vs. complexity in indicator design; and presentation of indicator results. The project was completed in December 2001. The results are presented in the three reports listed below. Also available is the computer software that was developed to run the three indicators and instructions for using it.
1.1. Project Reports
Report of the OECD Pesticide Aquatic Risk Indicators Expert Group (Paris, 2000)
Summary Report of the OECD Project on Pesticide Aquatic Risk Indicators (Paris, 2002)
Technical Report of the OECD Project on Pesticide Aquatic Risk Indicators (Paris, 2002)
Finally, the following short document provide the summary conclusions and the lessons learnt during this project.
Introduction by the OECD Working Group on Pesticides to the Report of the OECD Project on Pesticide Aquatic Risk Indicators (Paris, 2002)
1.2 OECD Aquatic Risk Indicators Computer Program
The computer program that runs the three OECD Aquatic Risk Indicators uses a Microsoft Access database, which contains values for hazard and exposure properties of approximately 300 pesticides. It also contains tables (e.g. for crops and pesticide use) to be completed by the user.
OECD Aquatic Risk Indicators Computer Program: User Guide (instructions for using the program that runs the three indicators, including instructions for filling in the tables).
Instruction to download:
2. Collecting Statistics on Pesticide Use and Sales
The project prompted the OECD Pesticide Programme to contribute to, and recommend use of, a set of guidelines published by Eurostat, the European agency for statistics:
In 1997 and in 2008, the OECD carried out two surveys to better know about countries' approaches to the collection and use of pesticide usage and sales data. The survey reports follow below:
3. The 2nd OECD Workshop on Pesticide Risk Indicators and Survey on National Indicators
The 2nd workshop was organised at the end of the first phase of the aquatic risk indicator project. The workshop brought OECD governments together to decide how to implement the indicator project. Also, a survey of pesticide risk indicators being used by OECD countries was carried out.
4. Terrestrial Risk Indicators (TERI)
The Pesticide Programme carried out a project on terrestrial risk indicators from mid-2002 to 2004. The TERI final report is available here.
The OECD Pesticides Programme followed closely the development and outcomes of the EU-funded HAIR project (HArmonised Environmental Indicators for Pesticide Risk) which addresses risks to aquatic and terrestrial organisms, ground water, public health (including pregnant women) and applicators of the pesticides.

Historic Semifinal Slots For Johnson and Christian/Sanchez
May 28, 2011
STANFORD, CALIF. -- It's been a long time coming, but USC's Steve Johnson and doubles duo of Kaitlyn Christian and Maria Sanchez have broken through sizable droughts of Trojan NCAA semifinalists. Top-seeded junior Johnson becomes the first Trojan male to move into the NCAA men's singles semifinals since 1997, and Christian/Sanchez have busted through to become the first Women of Troy ever to reach the NCAA women's doubles semifinals.
Christian and Sanchez have been on a mission in doubles play. Since getting embroiled in a tiebreak in their first set during the opening Round of 32, Christian/Sanchez have drilled out decisive wins the rest of the way. Today's lopsided win came at the expense of Washington's Chan/Dy, whom the Trojans had beaten in a much tighter match during Pac-10 play. This face-off was far different. Christian/Sanchez took care of business in this one to the tune of a 6-1, 6-4 victory that propels the Trojan freshman-senior combo into the NCAA Semifinals for the first time in history. Five USC teams in the past have reached the doubles quarterfinals, but the warpath that No. 3-seeded Christian/Sanchez are on has locked the pair into the history books as they continue their quest to claim USC's first-ever NCAA women's doubles crown. Christian/Sanchez will now face Clemson's Bek/Wong at 1 p.m. in tomorrow's semifinal at Stanford's Taube Tennis Stadium.
"I thought it was a good match," senior Sanchez said. "We had some really good points and played well together. I think we've just been getting better each day this week."
"I thought we came out ready to play and we did what we've been coming here to do, playing well as a team and keep moving through the draw," said Christian.
Meanwhile, on the men's side of the game, steamrolling Steve Johnson blasted his 33rd straight singles win during his NCAA quarterfinal match. Johnson was up against Ohio State freshman Blaz Rola, whom he had beaten back in the fall during the ITA National Indoor semifinals. Today's showdown between the Trojan junior and Rola saw Johnson fight hard through long games, methodically pacing his way past Rola with an aptly timed break in each set on the way to a 6-3, 6-3 victory. The win launches top-seeded Johnson into another rematch. This one is a much fresher face-off, as Johnson goes up against Virginia's Michael Shabaz - whom Johnson beat 7-6 (2), 6-3 during USC's NCAA Team Championship win over the Cavaliers earlier this week. Johnson and Shabaz will square off in tomorrow's semifinals at 1 p.m. as Johnson becomes the first Trojan since 1997 to reach the NCAA men's singles semifinals. That year, USC's George Bastl would fall in the singles title match. Johnson is looking to become USC's first NCAA men's singles champion since Cecil Mamiit won it all in 1996. If he does so, Johnson will be the first player since 2004 to win both the NCAA Team Championship and Singles Championship in the same year.

Terminator is getting a plugin system
Posted by chantra on 16th June 2010
I already spoke about Terminator a while back. Since then,, quite some time has passed and lots of features were added...
In the last 7+ months, cmsj as worked a lot on getting the whole architecture re-implemented in a more object-like architecture which makes the different component of Terminator interact together more naturally.

I am about to move to a smaller house and I am trying to get rid of some things that dont get used.
I would prefer paypal but just PM me. we can work something out.
Thanks for looking. I typically use USPS with delivery confirmation,
Interested. Size and quarter zip?
it is an XL with a 1/4 zip.

What year is the spinnshelter? How bad is the seam sealing? What is the overall weight?
Im not sure what year it is. I am guessing 2011. I have two and this is actually my third total. I gave my oldest one to my brother who still uses it. If I were going to keep it I would probably just roll the existing silicone off and redo it with a much thinner mixture.
They are bombproof, very light shelters. I will weigh it when I get home this evening
Weight of spinnshelter/stuffsack with front and rear guylines attached is 10.9 oz. still needs your choice of line to go thru the line-loc tie outs.

1989 Mitsubishi Pajero Superwagon 3.0 V6
A dependable, tough, long lasting, durable, comfortable workhorse
Heater hose led to cracked head, secondhand heads, and rings and bearings done. Due for another engine; now I have a low mileage Magna engine ready to put in, but not yet. It's still purring over with 0.5 litres of oil required every 1000km.
Gearbox syncros have never been any good, but it's still going on the original gearbox and diffs.
Suspension bushes have been done twice. Since I have done 100000km on gravel roads, that's good; lots of outback trips with the vehicle weighing 2.8 tonnes loaded.
General Comments:
Never been serviced by anyone but me, so very cheap. Never needed wheel bearings or discs, drums or rear brake shoes. Front pads done twice in 300000 km.
On LPG and petrol, the best it gets is 6.5km per litre at 110kph.
A great comfortable vehicle that may see me reach 1 million km, but not with great acceleration, but once at speed it handles and drives like no other.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Wow i love colors and clothes
really beautiful photo! Nice tone and light!
absolutely gorgeous!
I really like the picture. But, I don't think the choice of shoes really goes with the rest of the outfit. They should have been more of a simple, solid colour pumps I think. The skirt/dress already has lots of texture and so do the tights, I think it would have looked better if it was just more of a simple shoe choice (but the same colour, as the colour choice is good).
Cool picture!!!
nicely done!
Great colors! +1
very cute yaa.. nice composition of colors..

It's just before 7pm on a beautiful evening in the rural province of Jamtland in the heart of Sweden. I take the short stroll from my minimally decorated yet cosy bedroom in the remote resort of Faviken, across the gravelled grounds to the converted 19th-century wooden grain store, pausing to admire the snow-capped Are mountains in the distance.
I take a seat in the ground-floor bar, where a wolfskin coat hangs on a wall and traditional Jamtlandic folk music plays on a loop. Then the pre-dinner canapés arrive and I find myself biting into miniature crunchy cups fashioned from dried pig's blood that are filled with lightly salted wild trout roe.
A group of ultra-keen foodies, we'd left Stockholm in the early morning to take what must be one of Europe's most picturesque train journeys. Five and half hours heading north past lakes, forests of pine and silver birch and deep green fields studded with brilliant yellow dandelions to Jarpen in Jamtland county followed by an hour's taxi ride to the 24,000-acre estate of Faviken. Most visitors come to the area for its skiing, but for us it was a culinary pilgrimage, partly inspired by an internet buzz surrounding the restaurant and its inclusion in a world's 100 best restaurants list. We hoped to be rewarded with something spectacular. We were not disappointed.
Visceral might be an overused term, but it sums up the food of Faviken's head chef Magnus Nilsson perfectly. Highlights of the 11-course, four-hour meal eaten in the upstairs dining room at the restaurant's sole table include langoustines with sprouting barley, and vegetables preserved in whey and pine bark cake with acidic herbs and frozen buttermilk. It's a hugely memorable meal full of theatre, including Nilsson and his sous chef hacksawing a bone in half in the dining room to harvest the marrow which he serves with diced raw cow heart. Such is the impact of Nilsson's food that he may soon be on the receiving end of the sort of adulation and notoriety currently being meted out to Danish chef René Redzepi of Noma, with whom he shares an elemental approach.
Look beyond the blood and bones and you find that new Swedish cooking, like Redzepi's, also embraces foraged herbs, flowers and vegetables, bringing the glorious landscape right on to the plate. Nilsson is one of a number of young Swedish chefs that personify allemansratten (the freedom granted under the Swedish constitution of access to nature; roughly the equivalent of the UK's right to roam) and before dinner he takes us for a short ramble over the surrounding fields.
Peak foraging time is late spring and early summer; in winter the ground is covered in a metre-and-a-half of snow and the lakes freeze over. We find wood sorrel and morel mushrooms, but Nilsson has already been out and collected fiddlehead ferns and ground elder for the evening's meal. Nilsson shows us the beds where about 100 varieties of vegetables are grown, including the strong flavoured Jamtlandian grey pea which Nilsson says is the only variety that ripens this far north.
But you don't have to venture into the Swedish wilderness to find nature on your plate. At the Algarnas Tradgard ("Moose Garden") Supper Club on the docks of Malmo we congregate around tables fashioned from concrete pillars and old wooden pallets and plunge our forks into the meadow of bright yellow rape flowers that cover a simple salad of potatoes. The menu, created by two of the city's top chefs Ola Rudin and Sebastian Persson, includes roasted onions strewn with chive flowers, bite-sized meringues with wood sorrel and culminates in a procession of jars containing rhubarb stalks, huge leaves intact, that we dip in sugar and chew on as a dessert. (From October, the supper club will become a permanent restaurant occupying the same location called Saltimporten Canteen.)
The city – a scenic 15-minute train ride from Copenhagen over the Oresund Bridge – has plenty of other natural and organic-focused culinary attractions. The provocatively named Bastard Restaurant, recently voted the best restaurant in the county of Skane, deals in the sort of nose-to-tail dining popularised by St John restaurant in London, so expect marrow bones, charcuterie plates and ox heart, tongue and tail. The team also manages the stylish Smak café-restaurant at the Konsthall contemporary art gallery where there are plenty of vegetarian options available to eat in the secluded courtyard.
You need look no further than Malmo for some of Sweden's hot food and drink trends. Scandinavians drink the most coffee per head in the world, so it's no surprise that small roasteries are popping up all over the country. At the hip Solde Kaffebar, former baristas Johan Carlstrom and Jonas Westesson serve espresso from beans they source, blend and roast themselves in their facility on the outskirts of the city. We're served "natural" unfiltered wines made from hand-picked organic grapes at Algarnas Tradgard and Bastard, but they're also available at Belle Epoque bar and Restaurang Mrs Brown. If you're serving organic food, logic dictates that the wines should also have a minimal amount of human intervention; however, the sometimes cider-like results are not always pleasing.
One of the driving forces behind Sweden's new naturalistic approach is professional forager Roland Rittmann, who conducts foraging expeditions by prior arrangement. We visit him at his farmhouse in Anderslov, about 35km south-east of Malmo. Over coffee and traditional home-made cinnamon buns in the garden, Rittmann explains how, after retiring from teaching in the early 2000s, he returned to his childhood fascination with the land and began collecting and selling wild mushrooms. Since creating his Jordnara Natur & Kultur company in 2004, Rittmann now supplies most of the top chefs in Sweden with wild leaves, berries and blooms. Nosing around his storeroom is a fascinating experience and we get to taste sea arrow grass, bird grass, white dead nettle and goutweed.
The founding of his company coincided with the publication of the New Nordic Cuisine manifesto by Danish food entrepreneur Claus Meyer and 12 leading chefs of the region who agreed to "express the purity, freshness, simplicity and ethics we wish to associate with our region" and "base our cooking on ingredients and produce whose characteristics are particularly excellent in our climates, landscapes and waters".
In 2005, the manifesto was adopted by the Nordic Council of Ministers to develop the aims "into a lifestyle which will be better for nature, for people and for Nordic society as a whole" and which funds Nordgen, an organisation dedicated to the safeguarding and sustainable use of plants, farm animals and forests.
We're treated to a tour around the head office and plant bank in Alnarp, just north of Malmo. Head of the seed laboratory, Simon Jeppson, shows us the collection of more than 29,000 different live samples of Nordic cultural plants from about 325 different species. They're stored, dried and frozen in vacuum sealed bags in what look like dozens of domestic fridges. Along with the Nordgen's extensive gardens where they cultivate rare species, it's a valuable resource for chefs.
Travelling on to Sweden's south coast, past fields of rape and rolling green hills, we get to commune not only with nature but with history too. On the hills above the village of Kaseberga, overlooking the Baltic Sea, we eat pickled herring and drink akvavit in the centre of the 59 boulders that form Ales Stenar, a "stone ship" ancient burial site. The food comes courtesy of chef Anders Vendel whose eponymous restaurant is in the harbour below. We eat cod served with seaweed and a surprisingly delicious porridge made from rye bread, and pears poached in seawater served with caramel ice cream. Afterwards, Vendel shows us around his on-site bakery, where he makes superb sourdough, rye bread and surdegs knacke, a type of crispbread.
The small harbour is also home to Ahl's Rokeri where the glass-fronted display counter heaves with an incredible array of mahogany-coloured smoked fish, including mackerel flavoured with paprika and herring smoked with Thai flavours.
We even find nature on the outskirts of Stockholm. As we arrive at Mistral, a tiny restaurant in the suburb of Enskededalen, we spot a deer in the distance. Perhaps it was running away from chef Fredrik Andersson, worried it would end up on his menu. But the bearded and pony-tailed chef seems far too gentle a soul to harm a living thing.
The meal isn't meat-free. The succession of beautifully arranged plates includes poached veal heart served with nettles crisped in salty butter and pickled and dried onions, and veal neck served with whole baked garlic. But the real emphasis of Andersson's "modern ecological gastronomy" is on vegetables, so that means cucumber marinated in hemp oil with rosehip, rhubarb, lingonberries and duck fat vinaigrette and mangel (beet) leaf with radish, salted dried perch roe and wild flowers and herbs.
It's a charming experience but not entirely devoid of pretence and preciousness, something the New Nordic Food movement could be accused of. But give me the considered and environmentally aware approach over the macho posturing of much of modern haute cuisine any day. Although you'll see the influence of the New Nordic Cuisine across the globe, you'll have to travel to Sweden to find it in its most natural state. It's no flash in the pan, and looks certain to continue to evolve. What better reason to return?

News: No proof of Navy attacks on Indian fishermen - FM ... Finanacial News: Space crunch in Colombo Port hits trade... Sports: Fijian Jimmy Bolakoro overstays his visa ....
observer ONLINE
by Lal Gunesekera
RUGBY: Can Fijian national Jimmy Bolakoro represent CH & FC in the
forthcoming Caltex 'A' Division League Rugby Championship which kicks
off on Friday (May 18)?
This all depends not only on the Sri Lanka Rugby Football Union (SLRFU),
but also the Immigration and Emigration Department as well as the Sri
Lanka Police Department.
Bolakoro has been in the country now for the past three years and
according to the International Rugby Board (IRB) rules and regulations,
qualified to play for the country he has been a resident for three
consecutive years.
However, according to the President of the SLRFU, DIG Nimal Lewke,
who also heads the elite Special Task Force (STF) of the Police, whether
the IRB rule is applicable to Sri Lanka is entirely a matter for the
SLRFU to decide.
DIG Lewke further told the Sunday Observer that the Fijian, Jimmy
Bolakoro, cannot stay any longer in Sri Lanka as his visa had expired on
May 7, and that he is now staying in the country illegally.
Continuing, Lewke, further said that at the last Council meeting of
the SLRFU, CH & FC's representative raised the question of Bolakoro's
inclusion in the national side, but it was pointed out that the Fijian
has not played any rugby for several years and that the request cannot
be considered, as the national pool was picked on the performances of
players during the 2006 season.
Furthermore, the SLRFU President, DIG Lewke, also turned down a
request for a letter to the Immigration and Emigration Department
recommending Bolakoro's extension of visa and wanted the Fijian to
obtain a clearance certificate from the Police Department. Lewke said:
"I cannot blindly issue letters to any individual as I am a senior
Police official, not only President of the SLRFU".
Jimmy Bolakoro was involved in two court cases. First was when he was
alleged to have committed rape on a foreign woman at a resort down south
and then found in possession of illegal ammunition and firearms in the
ceiling of his apartment in the heart of Colombo 7.
It will be recalled that Bolakoro represented CH & FC in 2003 under
Milinda Jayasinghe which team also included three other foreign recruits
in Kinijoji Rakata, Fred Moo and Alex Talia. He was also a member of the
CH team in 2004 under Sameera Wijesinghe, which side also included three
other foreigners in Rakata, Kala and Noa Nawaqarua.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka, who lost both games in the Asian Nations Cup
very badly to Arabian Gulf (11-52) and Kazakhstan (6-71), will face a
Committee to be appointed by the Council of the SLRFU as soon as the
manager's reports are received.
DIG Lewke said that the reports will be discussed at the next SLRFU
Council meeting, but the "facts are stubborn". The national pool never
had a proper training schedule since the 2006 tournaments. The national
pool must train throughout the year like other countries who have a
programme for at least three years.
"The Committee to be appointed will comprise a Council member,
Chairman of the Selection Committee, National Coach and a couple of
senior officials who will look into the performances of the Sri Lanka
team in the two Asian Nation Cup games and also ways on how to get into
the next level" said DIG Lewke.

Newborns will be enrolled with GPs sooner
Minister of Health, Tony Ryall, announced that babies will now be enrolled with their GP soon after their birth so they receive essential healthcare such as immunisations, sooner.
"Early enrolment with a GP gives newborns the best start to life and we are making it easier for parents to enrol their baby with their family doctor.
"Currently fewer than half of newborns are enrolled with a GP at 12 weeks," said Mr Ryall.
"Under the new enrolment policy, GP practices will enter the newborn into their patient database as soon as they are nominated as the baby's GP by the parents at the birthing unit – rather than waiting to enrol them at their first doctor's appointment, as currently happens.
"One of the biggest benefits of having a newborn enrolled with a GP straight away is the practices can remind parents when their baby is due for their first immunisation at six weeks of age.
"Currently there are almost no newborns enrolled at six weeks of age which means many start their immunisations late exposing them to preventable diseases like whooping cough and polio. It can also lead to delays in receiving further immunisations – this change will help minimise this risk.
"There is widespread support across the public health service for this plan which will see more babies start their immunisation programme, on time.
"We've already achieved great success in lifting our immunisation rates. 90 per cent of Bay of Plenty children are now fully immunised by the age of two – a 25 per cent increase compared to 2009. Nationally, 92 per cent of New Zealand children are fully immunised by age two.
"The next challenge is to ensure all children are up to date with their immunisations at eight-months-old. The new preventative health target that will see 95 per cent of eight-month-olds fully immunised by December 2014 has started this month."

House and unit prices in Brisbane declined 1.2 per cent in April, the worst of all the capital cities, as issues of affordability and supply trouble the market.
The figures from the RP Data-Rismark home value index represent a slowdown in prices at the bottom end of the market, not the top, hinting at a probable affordability issue.
RP Data director of research Tim Lawless said the fall in median house and unit prices was the balance between growth in the premium sector and declines in the affordable sector.
"Buyers that are either first-home buyers or young families are much more sensitive to interest rates and affordability – so there is some pressure on those lower-end prices from the 1.5 percentage point rise," he said.
The city, with an annual population growth of 2.7 per cent, is the centre of the rapidly growing south-east corner that has been the focus of recent planning initiatives.
The National Housing Supply Council has also focused on the area saying it will likely be subject to "the greatest pressures" of demand. Council chair
"You really have to look at the long run," Mr Donald said.
"I suspect that the fundamentals haven't changed and this is a compositional change."
"If people can't afford to buy a house and they still need one then there is a greater social problem here."
In the year to March, RP Data noted that the capital gain in top-end houses increased 12.5 per cent for Brisbane while the bottom 20 per cent only increased 3 per cent.
"For developers to become more confident to deliver new stock there needs to be both natural demand as well as available finance," Mr Lawless said.
