Our canvases carry the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Mixed Sources Certification. The wood used to make our canvases comes from FSC approved sources including FSC certified well-managed forests, controlled sources and/or recycled material.
Using FSC approved sources:
Our boxes are made from 85-90% recycled cardboard and are fully recyclable.
Every tonne of cardboard recycled saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 2 cubic yards of landfill and 4,100 kw/hours of electricity.
Keep out of direct sunlight
Try not to hang canvases directly opposite large windows that get a lot of direct sunlight as direct sunlight can fade colours over time.
Avoid heat
Ideally canvases should not be hung above radiators. Extreme or rapid changes in temperature can cause the wood to warp and dry out and thus cause problems with the tautness of the stretched canvas.
Avoid moisture
Although our canvases are protected with a protective coating, we advise, as with any piece of art, to keep them away from any form of moisture (although a bit of kiddie drool should be fine!). If you need to wipe the canvas then please do so with a soft dry cloth.
Handle with care
Our canvases come packaged with corner protectors. When these protectors are removed please take extra care of the corners because, as with any artwork, hard knocks and bumps on the corners could result in chipping. When carrying and transporting canvases, grasp the frame firmly on both sides. If you have to store canvases, make sure they are stacked vertically and the right way up. When stacking canvases, stand them front to front so that the hanger does not damage the canvas.
Each one of our canvas prints is a top quality reproduction of the original artwork, made on cotton canvas using the giclée method of printing. This method produces prints with deep, saturated colours and excellent detail.
Our prints are stretched over wooden bars made with wood from FSC approved sources including FSC certified well-managed forests, controlled sources and/or recycled material. The back of each print is neatly covered with tape leaving a very clean finish with no nasty staples.
Each canvas is finished on all sides and comes with a hanger for wall mounting so there is no need for framing. It also makes our canvases ideal for kids' rooms as there is no glass to break.

Scientists in the Neurosciences Group at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, part of the University of Cambridge are using a G:BOX XR5 system to accurately image gels of fluorescent dye stained PCR products derived from genes involved in the remyelination process. By studying these genes, the scientists hope to find a means of enhancing the repair of normally non-repairable clinical conditions such as MS.
Dr Chao Zhao Assistant Director of Research, in the Neurosciences Group says: "Our research focuses on the mechanism of remyelination of the central nervous system after demyelination. To do this we are trying to understand the molecular mechanism of why myelin repair fails in diseases such as MS and we use the G:BOX XR5 every day to visualize and sometimes analyze very small amounts of PCR products as part of this research."
Dr Zhao continued: "We consistently get the results we want with our G:BOX XR5 so we are happy with the system for our DNA analysis work."
Laura Sullivan, Syngene's Divisional Manager said: "We are delighted to hear researchers at such a prestigious department in the university are using Syngene technology in this important program. Their work is testament to the fact that for DNA analysis, the G:BOX XR5 is a totally reliable and sensitive gel documentation system."

The NSW Premier, Barry O'Farrell, has criticised the State Parole Authority for again releasing an armed robber who, for the second time, is on the run from the police.
Jason Robert Herbert, 40, was released from prison less than a fortnight ago on the condition he live in Newcastle and wear an electronic monitoring device on his leg. But it is understood he has cut off the device.
He has not been seen since 2am on Saturday, when he was he spotted near the Pacific Highway at Hexham.
Police fear he is headed to Western Australia, after he made threats against two officers involved in the 2009 chase of his brother, Troy Herbert, in Perth.
Troy Herbert was killed when he crashed his motorbike after police aborted a chase.
The two officers involved in that chase have now been offered protection.
Jason Herbert has breached his parole before. He was released by the State Parole Authority in April but fled NSW and, it is understood, made it as far as Adelaide before he was captured and returned to jail in July.
He spent four more months in prison before the authority again granted him parole on November 29 - this time on the strict condition he wear the monitoring device.
Mr O'Farrell said Herbert should not have been released on parole a second time.
"What I'm unhappy about today ... is why the hell this bloke was given parole," Mr O'Farrell said on Tuesday.
"What I want to look at first is why he was allowed to have access to this technology by a parole board whose parole he had broken earlier this year.
"He is described today as a dangerous prisoner by the very same people who gave him parole. That's what I'm angry about."
He is described today as a dangerous prisoner by the very same people who gave him parole. That's what I'm angry about
Herbert's mother made a plea on Tuesday morning for the fugitive to hand himself in.
"Jason, please, I beg you my love. Please contact me and let me know you are fine," she told Channel Nine.
"Please, my love. We can work something out - I promise you that."
Herbert is of Caucasian appearance and between 185 centimetres and 190 centimetres tall. He has a medium build, hazel eyes and short, brown hair.
He is considered to be dangerous and should not be approached.
Police have urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact triple zero immediately.

For angiography, a thin, soft
tube (catheter) is placed in a blood vessel in the groin (such as in the
femoral vein). First, a doctor numbs the area with a local anesthetic. Then, a
needle is placed into the blood vessel. A guide wire is put through the needle
into the blood vessel and the needle is removed. The catheter is slid over the
guide wire and moved into the blood vessel. The catheter is guided through the
blood vessels until the tip is in the area to be studied.

I recently pushed myself outside of the comfort zone and decided to join a fitness class. Not just any fitness class, mind you, but Crossfit 56.
For anyone who knows me, you understand how big of a decision this was for me. For those who don't know me, lets just say, I was always one of those awkward girls who stood in the corner during junior high gym class and counted the seconds until the bell rang. I also always prayed the ball would never come to me — no matter what sport we were playing.
I'm not the least bit athletic. I once tried yoga for a week and spent money on a "Hip Hop Abs" workout video, which is still buried under some old DVDs I should probably take to Goodwill.
I've never been able to complete a full pull-up or push-up; running makes me nauseous; and I have to lift 15 pounds with two hands.
So what forced me to go from zero-to-100, and sign-up for one of the hardest workout courses?
It all started with my other problem — saying "no" to friends, particularly my close friend, (lets call her "Kat Woman" in this column). It was all her idea.
We were sitting there eating lunch on our regular Tuesday afternoon, when she casually suggested I check out the new Crossfit gym with her. I was about to shovel a spoonful of soup into my mouth, when my stomach dropped, and I began to feel the bead of sweat form on my forehead.
Before I could come up with an excuse, I head myself give a quiet, weak, "Suuuure."
It must be a curse, but I just can't say "no" to my friends. Even if it sometimes means putting me in an inconvenient state, I still find myself agreeing to their suggestions.
I knew Crossfit wouldn't be an easy endeavor. I had heard horror stories of people not being able to walk after the workouts and others experiencing injuries from pushing themselves too hard.
However, I couldn't let Kat Woman down. I ignored the negative rumors of Crossfit, swallowed my fears and laced up my tennis shoes.
Walking into a gym for the first time is never easy, especially for a lady. It's full of sweaty smells, muscular men who talk loud and people who give you stares that say they're judging you by your athletic ability.
Thank God I had my friend at my side because I may have just turned around and pretended I had the wrong gym class.
On our first day, our instructor wasted no time teaching us the Crossfit ways. We jumped rope, attempted squats, rowed 500 meters and lifted weights — on a 15-pound bar with weights on each side. The sight of me lifting a bar full of weight is just hysterical.
I could barely get out of bed the next day. It wasn't pleasant getting ready for work that morning, however, I couldn't hide the feeling of accomplishment. I had forced myself into one of the most challenging endeavors of my adult life, and I was feeling OK with it — Crazy!
The feeling encouraged me to go back two days later, and two days after that and two days after that and so on.
Kat Woman and I are just making it to our one-month mark at Crossfit 56, and we're addicted. We've learned to love the burn, accept the challenge and push ourselves to be more fit. The results have already got us feeling giddy.
We now look forward to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We get to leave work a little early and face a new test each day.
And walking out that gym door, knowing we've done something good for ourselves and have achieved something we never imagined a year ago, is why we will keep going back.

How to Make Up Your Face in Five Minutes
An expert's time-saving tips for instant glam.
-Erin Donnelly
Oops, you did it again — you overslept. And now you have just five minutes and counting to go from scary zombie to fresh-faced beauty before you run out the door. Can it be done? Sure thing, says celebrity makeup artist Darac, who's known as "America's Beauty Coach," and is the founder of the Darac Beauty cosmetics line. Read on for his essential tips for looking great when the clock is ticking.
Read 5 Ways to Fix a Bad Hair Day
Step One: The Brows
"Getting your brows in order is the most important thing you can do to look polished and pristine," says Darac. "It makes such a difference." Why? He says that beauty is based on the symmetry of the face — the more symmetrical your features are, the more beautiful you look. And the eyebrows are the easiest place to gain more symmetry in your face.
To keep yours looking their best, Darac advises first brushing the brows down, which makes it easy to see where you need to fill in. Then touch up any sparse spots with a brow pencil, like the one included in Darac's own Brow Trio ($21.82, qvc.com), and then brush the hairs back up.
Step Two: Concealer
Unless you want to look like someone desperately in need of a coffee — or perhaps a trip to the dermatologist — add concealer to your on-the-go morning routine. Darac recommends applying concealer under the eyes, around the base of the nose, along the edges of the lip, and over the divets that are found at the inner corner of the eyes closest to the nose; that's where shadows tend to form.
"You want that whole eye area to be light, bright, alive and pristine," he says. You can also use concealer as an impromptu foundation, blending it in over any skin imperfections or blemishes, or run it over your eyelids to use as an eye shadow base, it can cut down any redness on your face. "It's like your 911 kit," the makeup artist enthuses. Quick, Hide! Origins easy blend concealer ($14.50, origins.com)

Francis chased vs. Giants in shortest career start
Lefty allows seven runs in 1 2/3 innings; Colorado can't get on the board
SAN FRANCISCO -- If the Colorado Rockies are searching for silver linings after getting crushed 10-0 Wednesday afternoon by the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park in the finale of their three-game series, there are really only two.
The Rockies won't have to play San Francisco again until May 16 at Coors Field, and they won't have to return to AT&T Park until May 24.
The Rockies lost their ninth straight game to the Giants and ninth straight at AT&T Park. They've been swept by the Giants in back-to-back series and haven't defeated San Francisco since Sept. 10 last season at Coors Field. They haven't won at AT&T since Aug. 12 last year. They've won just four of their past 21 games against San Francisco. And now they've been swept in San Francisco 12 times, two more times than at any other city.
"We were expecting to come and win a series," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "The Giants played well. This one today got away from us early. But, we look at it as three games in 162. [We'll] try to go down to San Diego and win a series down there."
Rockies left-hander Jeff Francis had a nightmare start, giving up seven hits and seven runs (four earned) and lasting only 1 2/3 innings as the Giants jumped to a 7-0 lead. It was the shortest outing of Francis' career, and his ERA soared from 1.50 to 5.87.
Giants left-hander Barry Zito threw seven shutout innings, allowing seven hits while striking out four before turning the game over to the bullpen. He improved to 8-2 lifetime against the Rockies and won his sixth straight decision against the club.
Of course losing to the Giants, especially at AT&T, has become a bad habit for the Rockies.
"It's a trend, the last few times we've been here, but it doesn't change the way we prepare," Francis said. "We still come in, we still have a lot of battle in us. We come here and we expect to win. It hasn't worked out the last few times here, but the next time we come we'll have the confidence we can come in and win."
Angel Pagan led off the bottom of the first for San Francisco with an infield single and scored on Buster Posey's one-out triple to right-center. The Giants made it 2-0 when Joaquin Arias lined a two-out single to left, bringing Posey home.
The Giants, who pounded out 16 hits, were just warming up. In the second inning, they scored five more runs, sending 10 batters to the plate.
Shortstop Brandon Crawford, who hit a three-run homer Tuesday night, led off with a double to right. When Zito laid down a sacrifice bunt, Francis tried to get Crawford at third, but his throw was late.
Francis walked Pagan, loading the bases, and gave up a sacrifice fly to Marco Scutaro as the Giants increased their lead to 3-0. Posey one-hopped a ground-rule double into the right-field seats, plating Zito to make it 4-0.
"You miss a pitch, and they whack it," Francis said. "And then you make a pitch. They whack it, too."
Hunter Pence followed with a sharp ground ball that third baseman Chris Nelson fielded cleanly. Pagan was hung up between third and home, but Nelson's throw to catcher Wilin Rosario was off line. Pagan scored on the error, making it 5-0, while Posey advanced to third and Pence to second.
Two batters later, Andres Torres lined a two-run single to right-center, giving the Giants a 7-0 lead and ending Francis' day.
"It's hard to tell location from the dugout, but I'd assume he had too much plate with his pitches and didn't have quite the command where the balls were just off the plate, like they had been," Weiss said of Francis. "Not quite the command. If Jeff is going to struggle, it's going to come down to that."
Reliever Edgmer Escalona retired Crawford to end the inning, but far too much damage had already been done.
The Giants added two more runs in the fifth and one in the sixth off reliever Chris Volstad.
Zito had his way with Colorado for most of the day on the mound and had the first multihit game of his career, getting a standing ovation in the sixth after his second single of the day.
"He was locked in today," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Zito held the Rockies to four singles and three doubles, one each by Eric Young Jr., Troy Tulowitzki and Michael Cuddyer. But only two Rockies got as far as third base against him.
"Crafty left-hander gets overused, but he's kind of reinvented himself," Weiss said. "It's a tough at-bat. He adds, subtracts. He commands all of his stuff. He cuts it in to righties now. He knows what he's doing."
The Rockies were on a roll before arriving in San Francisco. They'd won back-to-back series and swept the Padres at home. Now they'll have a day off to regroup before opening a three-game series Friday night at San Diego.
"It's a long season," Young said. "We know. We go all the way until October, and then the mindset is going into the playoffs and deep into the playoffs. You can't really get hung up on games early in the season. We just swept the Padres and then get swept here. It's still early in the season. Anything can happen."
The problem for the Rockies is that the same thing keeps happening when they play San Francisco.

Its Australia Day today,a big holiday here with lots of fireworks
Oh, I have to see if I can find something on the internet. Are you celebrating?
Tell us more. What do you do? Are there specific foods? Is the day for family or friends and family?
Oh it is a big day at the beach .It is for everyone but the young party it up bigtime.Now the foods are damper(a type of bread)pavlova,lamingtons a bit of lamb on the barbie.Joel was adept at making these foods because he was the Australian and a pretty good one.Me and my family,we are migrants! But of course there are fireworks on the harbour as there always are.
Also there are Australia day awards and the Australian of the year award went to a psychiatrist working with young adults-pretty good I thought J xx
sorry for the ramble
Well, Happy Burns day, Mate! I love lamb & fireworks so that sound good to me. Enjoy! Also nice about the psychiatrist.
First Gavin with Burns Night and now you with Australia Day. I feel like I am really learning a lot of new and interesting customs and celebrations. A day at the beach, a barbie & fireworks sounds good to me right about now! Enjoy!!!!!
Hi Janet,
I hope you enjoyed your Australia day celebrations today. I saw some of the fireworks from Melbourne on the news here today as they seemed to be happening during the Murray/Nadal tennis game.
A day at the beach with barbecued lamb sure does sound good to me!
Best wishes
Party on the beach, fireworks and barbecues sound like such a good time. I also liked Burns night, Gavin - until I looked up the receipe for Haggis - got to admit - sounds nasty!! We are learning a lot though - cultures and customs of the world.
Hi Joyce,
As I said to Darla, if you read the recipe for the haggis, it really doesn't do itself any favours in selling itself. Oh but the taste is so good!! But I guess I need to work much harder in convincing you all!!
Best wishes

text: A debonair tastemaker with equal fondness for science-fiction prophecy and earthbound affirmation, Carl Craig has been pushing at the edges of jazz since he first made his name on the Detroit techno scene. From protégés on his Planet E label (Recloose, Moodymann) to work under his various guises (he's released albums under his own name, as Paperclip People, and with Innerzone Orchestra), Craig has helped twist jazzy connotations around a central definition that retains its matter even as its form swings out of line. But while he's generally scared away the fusion ghosts that threaten to overshadow even his best techno-jazz high points, those ghosts haunt his Detroit Experiment project to dispiriting effect. Following behind a Philadelphia Experiment group helmed by Roots maestro ?uestlove, The Detroit Experiment pairs Craig with a team of hometown jazzbos, from longtime Herbie Hancock saxophonist Bennie Maupin to Sun Ra percussionist Francisco Mora. The 14 members' pedigrees look great on paper, but most of The Detroit Experiment draws a plain, flat line back to a '70s fusion era that only occasionally sounded good the first time around. "Space Odyssey" cooks up a solid mid-tempo groove around the darting glide of Marcus Belgrave's trumpet, and "Think Twice" outruns most of what passes for jazzy deep-house with a warm wash of keyboard vamp and hi-hat snap. But highlights that barely rate provide little consolation on an album that takes no chances with its premise. Generic enough that its jazz and electronic flavors sound equally watered-down, The Detroit Experiment serves as a near-total opposite to Freak In by Dave Douglas, a rangy New York trumpeter beloved both by uptown jazz purists and by downtown experimentalists. Laying digressive jazz moods over a delicate electronic undercarriage, Douglas and his band–including guitarist Marc Ribot, drummer Joey Baron, and effects whiz Ikue Mori–summon Miles Davis' '60s quintet just prior to In A Silent Way, when jazz and rock were still petting their way toward the luggish bear hug of fusion. At its best, Freak In follows a fusionary aim that sounds more divined than designed, streaming through tempo shifts and solo runs that practically grin when they lock into place. The title track opens fast and shifty, with horns swallowing a jaunty jungle beat into a mouthful of jazz allusions. From there, the album wanders purposefully through heated electric bop, mellow acoustic meditation, and fusion focused with clarity that few bands of any era manage. The electronic grid underlying Freak In sounds like a natural byproduct of music set free from age constraints, pitching jazz less as a style than a process whose timeline hasn't faded even as its reach has dwindled.

Brent crude oil fell to a one-month low - under $113 a barrel - on Tuesday as inconclusive Italian election results revived investor concerns about instability in the euro zone and threatened the outlook for fuel demand.
The vote result in the euro zone's third-largest economy stoked fears that the country's politicians would be unable to form a government strong enough to carry out effective reforms.
The election results "played out in the end of the day yesterday" in the markets, pushing prices lower early on Tuesday, said Gene McGillian, analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Oil markets also watched as U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke defended the central bank's bond-buying stimulus, which is seen as tied to the economic recovery and thus oil demand, before Congress early on Tuesday.
Bernanke warned about the risks of sharp spending cuts set to go into effect on Friday, but also said the central bank has all the tools it needs to retreat from its monetary support in a timely fashion.
But the oil complex decoupled from U.S. equity markets, which had rebounded from a sharp selloff Monday as poll results in Italy pointed to deadlock. The Dow Jones industrial stock average was up 0.8 percent at 3:05 p.m. EST (2005 GMT).
Brent crude hit a session low of $112.41 a barrel, its weakest since Jan. 24, and settled down $1.73 at $112.71.
U.S. crude oil was down 48 cents at $92.63 a barrel, after touching a low of $91.92, a level not seen since Jan. 4.
Brent rallied to a nine-month high near $120 in early February but has since fallen back on signs the global economy remains fragile.
Brent fell below technical support at the 50-day moving average for the first time since January, a key indicator of market sentiment watched by traders.
The RBOB gasoline contract for March delivery led losses for much of the trading day, down more than 7 cents to $2.9816.
RBOB has been on an upswing since hitting a low of $2.6915 in mid-January, but with the March contract expiring on Feb. 28 ahead of the switchover to higher-specification summer fuel, traders said the move higher may have been overdone.
"Gasoline rose on increasing demand, which was being fostered by the improving economy and U.S. employment," said John Kilduff of the Again Capital hedge fund in New York.
"Recent events in Europe and the looming U.S. spending cuts threaten that outlook."
Investors also eyed talks in Kazakhstan between major powers and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program. The group of six nations - the United States, Russia, China, Germany, Britain and France - was expected to offer Iran limited sanctions relief on Tuesday if it agrees to halt its most sensitive nuclear work.
While few traders expected the meeting to create an immediate breakthrough, a reduction in tensions could weigh on oil.
Prices could come under further pressure should weekly reports on U.S. crude and product stockpiles, due on Tuesday and Wednesday, show an increase.
A Reuters poll ahead of industry group the American Petroleum Institute's report on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. EST (2130 GMT) forecast crude stocks would be up by 2.3 million barrels, the sixth straight weekly increase.
The closely watched U.S. Energy Information Administration numbers are released at 10:30 a.m. EST (1530 GMT) on Wednesday.

DETROIT - The family of a 10-year-old Detroit boy who was killed by a hit-and-run driver is renewing their plea for help from the public.
During a press conference Wednesday with Crime Stoppers, Christopher Sandoval parents fought back tears as they talked about how their son loved skate boarding, playing with Legos and reading.
"He was a great little boy. He loved doing many thing," said Lisa Sandoval. "He will be missed by man ... especially his brothers and sisters."
The 10-year-old died March 5 when he was hit while he was taking out the trash at his home on Bringard Drive.
Police say the boy was hit by a red 2000 or 2001 Dodge Ram pickup truck just after 1 p.m. on a street near the Eastland Shopping Center.
Sandoval's mother said she heard the crash and ran to her son's side, where she watched him take his last breaths.
"He was breathing for a little bit, long enough for me to tell him I'm sorry and that I loved him. That was it," she said.
--Lisa Sandoval & Yale Sedgeman
The driver also hit the garbage can Sandoval was standing next to, which then became wedged under his truck.
Witnesses said the man got out of his car and removed the can before driving away and leaving the boy in the street.
Lisa Sandoval said she thinks the person who hit her son was on drugs or alcohol because no decent person in their right mind would leave a child dying in the street.
"I'm pleading with you, come forward," she said. "I understand if it was an accident. But in an accident, you would have stopped. Just come forward. We need this. We need to lay him to rest."
The family also thanked everyone in the community who had been praying for them.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
If that tip comes in by midnight Wednesday, the reward will go up to $3,500.
To make an anonymous tip, call 1-800-SPEAKUP.

DETROIT - Detroit police and the FBI were stopping drivers Monday morning to show pictures and ask questions while the community searched for a missing 2-year-old girl.
Police were showing drivers a photo of Dandre Lane, the father of Bianca Lily Jones, the Detroit toddler who has been missing since Friday morning.
Lane told police he was carjacked Friday morning and that the thieves took of with Bianca still strapped in the back seat of the car.
Police and FBI agents also were showing drivers a sketch of the man Lane said carjacked him and subsequently abducted his daughter.
On Sunday night, the Michigan State Police raided Lane's home. Investigators told Local 4 that they recovered a "significant amount of evidence" from the home. Police have been getting information that Lane was spotted before he reported the carjacking in the area behind Wayne Community College near the Detroit River. Investigators said that information does "have some validity."
Moreover, an inmate at the Wayne County Jail has been interviewed by police about what he knows about Lane and how Bianca has gone missing.
Police said they would continue questioning drivers at the road block for a few hours.
Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee said Saturday that Lane was in custody on unrelated charges. He was released Monday afternoon.
Godbee said "the authenticity and credibility of the original version of events" are "under intense scrutiny" from detectives.
Police are offering a $17,500 reward to help find Bianca. Detroit police spokeswoman Eren Stephens said Saturday that one person has donated $15,000 and Crime Stoppers of Michigan is offering $2,500 for information leading to the return of Bianca Jones.

"My goal is to create memorable performances about this place –Cow Head and Newfoundland in general -that will appeal to both local residents and visitors alike" Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's artistic director Jeff Pitcher told us recently. And the dinner theatre performance of "Sinking of the S.S. Ethie" fits this philosophy to a tee. This is the show that started it all for Theatre Newfoundland Labrador in Cow Head and it has been running to full houses since 1996.

"I love my office" grinned Ryan Young above the roar of the motor as we skipped over the small waves of Trout River Pond. "This southern part of Gros Morne National Park is undiscovered by many people and it is too bad since it is a spectacular area."
We were doing a new Ocean Quest boat tour (http://www.oceanquestadventures.com/services/tourist/gros-morne-national-park) that started on Trout River Pond, and we had to agree - Trout River Pond is amazing since it is surrounded by steep cliffs 550-600 meters high and it is 15 km long.
23 Jul 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Nature , Culture , Entertainment and Gros Morne National Park
We think Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's new show "Newfoundland Vinyl" is a must see for those people who are interested in Newfoundland music from the 1960's, 70's and 80's. The backstory for the show is that Gros Morne Theatre Festival regulars "Ed and Ed" are throwing a musical fundraiser – for themselves! The music has a definite country flavour and includes hits made popular by A. Frank Willis, Roy Payne, Joan Morrissey, Harry Hibbs and Tom Cahill.
16 Jul 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Boat Tours , Festivals & Events , Whale Watching , Nature , Entertainment and Gros Morne National Park
We are big fans of traditional Newfoundland music whether it be "I'se the Bye" or a song from the Northern Peninsula that we might never have previously heard. Neddy Norris Night is Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's popular musical night and it takes on a different flavour depending on who is the musical director that year.

The names Cathy Jones, Mary Walsh, Greg Malone and many of the original Codco crew are now synonymous with well known Newfoundland comedy. In 1973 they were just getting started in Toronto when they were distressed by the stereotypes that Ontarians felt applied to all Newfoundlanders. So they fought back with the play "Cod on a Stick" which pokes fun at Torontonians and Newfoundlanders alike.
6 Jul 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Food & Dining , Hiking & Walking and Gros Morne National Park
We recently returned from a 1-night get away that saw us sampling great food and accommodations as well as hiking on one of our favourite trails in the southern part of Gros Morne National Park. Since Gros Morne Park is so large, many people opt to see just the north side or the south side with Bonne Bay acting as a geographical dividing line.
3 Jul 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Fishing , Nature , Parks , Top Destinations , Gros Morne National Park and Cultural Experiences
Theatre Newfoundland Labrador (TNL) is back in Cow Head and they are performing several new plays for the summer 2012 season. We recently saw "The Fly Fisher's Companion" and would recommend this play to anyone since although it deals with salmon fishing, its main theme is the changing face of friendship. The play follows Wes (played by Michael Chaisson) and Don (performed by John Dartt) as they gear up to go salmon fishing from a cabin they built together many years ago.

From May 19 to 21, two hikers from Paris, France braved chilly nightime temperatures and colder patches of snow and ice to make a rare spring trek of the Blow-Me-Down Mountain Trail. Fabien Mignot and Loris Pennacchioli took a break from their studies in Montreal to visit Western Newfoundland - formerly a part of the French Shore of Newfoundland - and hike sections of the IATNL.

This is a big year for Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's "Tempting Providence" as it celebrates 10 years of performances around the world. "Tempting Providence" tells the story of Myra Bennett, a dedicated nurse who practiced on the Northern Peninsula. I recently got a chance to speak to Gaylene Buckle, Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's general manager. "When we developed this play we purposively created it so that it could be performed in a variety of "stages" around the province, from church basements to school gyms.

We had enjoyed dog sledding with Les Skis Doux in Wiltondale earlier in March (see our post dated March 4, 2012) and were keen to head out again with Elaine and her dogs. For Snow West 2012 they had arranged to be at the base of Marble Mountain and this is an ideal place to get a feeling of dog sledding.

Newfoundland and Labrador has an enduring Irish culture, which is why we go all out celebrating St. Patrick's day, but some of our Irish history is really quite mysterious, stretching back thousands of years...

What a great afternoon ! The sun was out, the sky was blue and we were going zip lining at Marble Mountain. We met our guides Reg Flynn and Daniel Kean at the Marble Zip Tours (MZT) office (conveniently located at the base of Marble) for the 2 pm tour. We had enjoyed zip lining with MZT previously but had not experienced their newest zip line which brings you back to the base of Marble Mountain via their longest and fastest zip line yet!

Dog sledding was more exercise and more challenging than we originally thought. It was also a whole lot of fun! Elaine Pinard (owner of Les Skis Doux) has been taking people dog sledding for the past six winters from her base in Wiltondale at the entrance to Gros Morne National Park.

Last winter we had a chance to join Darren Park for a great trip to the North Arm Hills, which are located along the North Shore of Bay of Islands near Corner Brook. These mountains are visible in the distance as you drive along the south shore of the Bay of Islands but are generally inaccessible unless you take a snowmobile trip.

Last year was a pretty amazing ski year in the northeastern United States - abundant and high quality snow continued well into March for some wonderful spring skiing (which I missed out on since I was in Chile). However winter 2011-2012 in the northeast has so far failed to produce more than a sprinkling of snow, which is why I headed north to Newfoundland with my friends Bruce and Nate in search of natural snow in excess of 3 inches.

One Friday morning this past August we started our journey to the Great Northern Peninsula in search of what everyone was talking about, the icebergs that broke off of the Petermann Glacier in August, 2010. Iceberg season on the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland typically begins in late May however it was closer to the end of July before icebergs began to arrive this year. These late arrivals were due to the 280 square kilometre ice island that broke off of the Petermann Glacier near Greenland last August. The late arrival was not the only surprise this year, the sheer size and large number of bergs was also quite astonishing. Reports indicated that over seventy-five icebergs could be seen in the St Anthony area and that's what we were setting out to see.

The Dynamic Router Lite II project is a router project by the Dutch national police agency that allows Web-based client-control over the next-hop router for the client. A Dynamic Router Lite II system is placed as a default gateway between one or more client networks and a router network with multiple gateway-routers on it. The Dynamic Router Lite II system does policy-based routing with policy-based DNS to match the routing policy. By default a client will have no active gateway, and any attempted HTTP traffic to any domain will lead the user to the router's Web interface, where the user can then pick an appropriate next-hop router. Once picked, all traffic for the client including DNS will be forwarded to the next-hop router the user picked.

Card Stories provides a server for a networked guessing game using picture cards. One player (the "author") starts the game by choosing a card, picking a word or a sentence to describe it, and sending out invitations to others to participate. Each of these players receives seven cards and has to pick one that best matches the author's description. Once enough players have chosen a card, the author displays all chosen cards and the players try to figure out which one is the author's. If at least one but not all of them guesses correctly, the author wins, along with the players who guessed correctly. Otherwise, the guessers all win.

Each crack of the baseball bat at Angel Stadium this weekend represents money raised to help fight hunger, as the stadium groundskeepers hold their annual three-day food drive.
The drive concludes Sunday, as from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting, fans have the chance to walk onto the meticulously cared for field to hit, pitch and catch balls and take a tour of the Angels clubhouse in exchange for donations of food or money for the poor.
Last year, groundskeepers helped raise $21,000 for more than 7,000 pounds of food for the Second Harvest Food Bank, said head groundskeeper Barney Lopas, who has been making the field green in Anaheim for 16 years.
"We are hoping to clobber that record (this year)" Lopas said. "It's a win-win-win. Guys get to hit, feel good and the grounds crew is happy to contribute to a good cause."
A donation of two canned food items or $1 will allow fans to throw pitches in the bullpen. A $25 donation will give individuals the chance to catch baseballs in the outfield for 15 minutes. Bats, balls and helmets are provided.
Tours of the clubhouse are provided for a $10 donation.
"A friend of mine said it was the best $60 bucks he ever spent. And he was right," said Glennn Mondo, 54, of Santa Ana. "Shaggin' balls and 20 swings at home plate, you can't ask for more."

Topic: Trying a new chemo
It's been a while since I last posted anything on my husband.
His ONC doc tried him on folfox but have after one treatment the neuropathy had gotten so bad in his feet he could barley walk so it was discontinued. At that point we were told he was out of options for chemo since he had been on all of them that they use for CC. She suggest he try a phase one clinical trial. With all the information I got on it and feed back he decided he didn't want to try it. Plus since the cancer center was no where near where we live it would have required us to live in a different city for a few months. It just isn't possible. Plus he said he didn't like the fact of not knowing the side effects that this would cause.
So we talked with his doctor and she said she presented his case in front of a tumor board. This specialty doctor from Karmanos Cancer Center was there and suggested treating him with Irintecan. It's a chemo they use for bowl cancer. It doesn't cause neuropathy so they figured he should do well with it.
He has had 2 treatments so far. No neuropathy but he has had it effect his speech. It's right towards the end of the infusion. He says his mouth gets real dry and he has a hard time talking. The first time he told the nurse and she made him set there to make sure he was going to be ok. The second time he didnt let any of us know until we started home and when he talked to me I noticed he was having problems and told me not to worry about it and it would clear up. Which it did. He's stubborn!
Now last week he has been complaining of some abdominal pain and says it goes into his back. We told the doctor and she pushed on his stomach and said everything felt fine. His bili level is normal also. So she said when his CA19-9 results come in and if there is much of a jump in it then she would see reason to do a scan other wise she said it could be scar tissue. Not to sure what to think of that. His CA19-9 is now 468. It's been on a steady climb. They should have the results of Fridays tomorrow.
They also checked his CEA tumor marker and that is now 12.2 which two weeks ago it was 9. Not sure if that a big jump?
He still looks good and doesn't look sick. A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to a NASCAR race. I think he was more excited the the rest of us put together.
I have learned just to take things one day at a time. But always wondering if its spreading more.
He still has the tumor in the liver and the 4 lymph nodes that they say are cancerous and are watching alot od other lymph nodes that are enlarged but not big enough to say them too are infected. Not on sizes since we were never told.
I have my good days mostly because I am still in denial.
It's so hard to except. I just look at him and think no way is this happening. The kids have their good and bad days. Their first day of school is tomorrow and I just worry about their school year. I have already looked into home schooling in case things get too bad. I think it would be better for them if things get bad. It's hard enough on them now in trying to stay focused, especially when they know he has a doctors appointment.
Well I'm sure i have rattled on long enough. Will put an update on as soon as i find out results from tumor marker.
My thoughts and prayers go out to every one.

PMY TESTED: Link Mobile Tool Kit
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — December 2002
One of the outboard engines on my boat was down, and I needed to take it apart. Fortunately, at about the same time the engine went south, I'd received a 41-piece mobile tool kit from Link Tools to review. I figured, why not see if I could take the engine apart using the kit?
The universal joint, unidriver, ratchet, and extenders all feature a sliding mechanism that locks whatever tool you're using in place, so I found I could change sockets with one hand. Moreover, no matter what angle I had to attack a screw or nut from, Link's locking mechanism kept the tool steady, for which my unskinned knuckles are forever thankful.
Throughout a week's worth of tearing down the engine, I found that the kit, which I could fit under the helm seat of the boat, always had the size and type of socket I needed. I used mainly the 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm six-point sockets and all of the associated attachments and found that they fit well on all of the engine's fasteners. (Besides metrics, the kit has standard sockets and flathead and Phillips attachments.) One day rain flooded the kit after I'd inadvertently left the case lid open, but thanks to the nickel-chrome finish, the tools came through rust-free.
One thing I didn't like was the fact that socket sizes are displayed in the same color as the case in which they are housed, which made them hard to read. Against that, the case stows easily and even floats when the lid is latched. The Link Mobile 41-Piece Locking System Set is available directly from the manufacturer for a suggested retail price of $249.99.

It's easy to guess what Charles ''The Terror'' Turner would have made of a bowling rotation system or broken-down all-rounders. Turner, who once bowled more than 10,000 balls on a tour of England, playing six days a week and often opening the batting for Australia as well, remains, 118 years after his retirement, the most potent Test bowler in our history.
A ceremony will be held at Bathurst Showground on Friday to commemorate the sesquicentenary of Turner's birth. His ashes are buried there, where he practised bowling between dispatching Cobb & Co coaches.
There is also an emotional point to celebrating Turner, says his biographer Ric Sissons. ''He is not in the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame, which is a remarkable omission. He was one of the great Test cricketers, and he should be in it.''
Turner's habits of practice were years ahead of his time. He would bowl his fast off-break until he could hit a stump six times in a row. Then he would do the same with his straight ball, and then water the Bathurst wicket until it behaved like the sticky dogs he played on in Test matches in Australia and England.
His nickname owed itself less to his speed than his prodigious break-back. On one of his three tours to England, he was timed at Woolwich Arsenal at 55mph (80km/h) - similar to a fast leg-break bowler today such as Pakistan's Shahid Afridi. Sissons says the measurement must be taken sceptically, ''as the contraption was primitive and constructed to measure the speed of a rifle bullet''.
Turner's Test career ended controversially when, in 1894-95, he was dropped by his fellow selectors George Giffen and Jack Blackham. Sissons believes the omission was payback for incidents on the previous tour of England, when Turner stood up to Giffen's South Australian faction ''who were considered the culprits'' for a number of episodes of poor off-field behaviour, including once when the Australians reportedly left a train carriage spattered with blood.
If Sissons could describe Turner in a nutshell to today's cricketers, the task is simple. ''Just compare him to Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne. He has the best overall Test average for an Australian bowler, the best strike rate, and the most wickets per Test. He's also the only bowler to take 100 wickets in an Australian season.''
From such a statistical mountain, as a broadcaster in retirement Turner freely criticised current players. You suspect that every time a modern bowler breaks down with injury, the stone memorial at Bathurst Showground rumbles a little.
The Terror: Charlie Turner, Australia's greatest bowler, will be published next month by CricketBooks.com.au

Jennifer Lawrence in Interview Magazine (photos taken from Russian and German Interview issues)
I admit to being one of those people who was half forced to see The Hunger Games. However, throughout the film I fell completely in love with this futuristic and sick world and needed more. I read all three books in two days and I still feel like I need more... This is one of the better stories out there, and it's one that most definitely should be told in today's world. I personally don't think you need to read the book to see the film, but if you can - do both.
There are a lot of people (including film critics, whom I used to admire) who are bashing Jennifer, saying that she is no Katniss - even calling her 'big'! I just wanted to post these photos, and point out that if anything she IS the girl on fire, and she has such a beautiful face and a really hot body. She is also one of the funniest and down to earth Oscar nominees, in my opinion - here. Plus, she's got an amazing sense of red carpet style, as seen at one of the film's premieres in Prabal Gurung - here.

I really love Jennifer Lawrence - She has an honest strength and down to earth quality about her that I think makes her incredibly likable and very relatable. Haven't seen the film yet, but most definitely will!ReplyDelete
i think she's a great choice to play Katniss as she is not meant to be at all skinny or stunningly beautiful. loved her in the film! xReplyDelete

And you have also a nice blog, so i'm following you :)
I defiently want to go see Hunger games and see what its all about and Jennifer Lawerence is a great actress and I love her photos she looks gorgeous.ReplyDelete
she has become my new favouriteReplyDelete
I am too a fan of the Hunger Games and the themes in the book are so serious and should be told. The movie was true to the books and pretty good, the entire cast did a great job. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with weight. She is a healthy size for a normal girl, everyone isn't rail thin. Shame on critics in a society where eating disorders are all to prevalent we should be praising a more healthy body image instead of criticizing a normal sized girl who just happens to have curves.ReplyDelete
I honestly think that she and Josh Hutcherson (Peeta) are two of the most perfect people in the world.ReplyDelete
And how DARE people call her fat? Ugh. Disgusting.
I still need to see this movie! AND read the books! She's gorgeous! These pictures are FIERCE!ReplyDelete
I don't think I have ever been this jealous.ReplyDelete
I think that she's pretty amazing. I haven't read the books yet (I'm planning to next week) but I'll be going to see the movie on Monday! xxReplyDelete

An old and new scam?
Wednesday, Jul 09, 2014 06:00 am
If someone asks the way to the airport it could be a nice young man or woman who will then thank you with a gift of a leather jacket that he just doesn't want to pay customs on after the sales meeting.
You could look like you have teenagers or you could be a senior. It is a new but old scam!

Did you know?
The highest commercial bridge bungee jump in the world takes place at Bloukrans Bridge near Storms River.
The N2 route between Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape and Nature's Valley in the Western Cape is about 230km, and if you were in a hurry you'd probably do the journey in less than three hours.
But that's not the point of a road trip, is it? The magic of meandering is the essence of leisure travel, and this particular route, which ends up in the Tsitsikamma forests, has it all: an awesome lighthouse, fine trails, good surf, wonderful eating spots, great farm stalls and the adventure of simply flying through the forests on a canopy tour.
Let's begin at the Cape Recife lighthouse, just near the Port Elizabeth suburb of Summerstrand. If the light keeper's available, ask him for a tour of the facility and the little museum on the ground floor.
The Cape Recife Nature Reserve is also the site of our first walking trail on this trip, most of which is going to be spent outside our vehicle. It's a 9km circular walk, and there's excellent birding to be done along this route too.
We then head off down the N2 and at Humansdorp we head for Surf Central, Jeffreys Bay, also known fondly as 'J-Bay'. It doesn't matter that you're not a surfer, just hanging out at Supertubes beach and watching the 'water babies' riding their boards is enough of a thrill. Of course, if you're there in July, you might catch some of the Billabong Pro action, when surfers from all over the world come to match their wave skills.
Now we're off to the nearby Port St Francis for a 'chokka fest'. The eateries of this sophisticated port, the newest in South Africa, mostly specialise in the fine calamari fished off these shores.
After dinner, we check in at our overnight lodgings, a chic self-catering apartment overlooking the port and its moored fleets of chokka boats and yachts. Staying in these super-luxury apartments gives you the freedom to eat in or out, and call your own hours.
Good morning. Today, we're going to the wooded village of Storms River. First stop on the way is the Oudebosch Farm Stall for some curio shopping and a friendly chat with the owner, Dewald Pretorius.
Presently, we arrive in Storms River and drop our bags off in our rooms at the Tsitsikamma Village Inn, a rather lovely Cape-style collection of units in the centre of Storms River.
We walk down the main road to the headquarters of Stormsriver Adventures for a full day in the forest, which begins with a canopy tour through the giant Outeniqua yellowwood trees.
The afternoon is spent on the Tsitsikamma Woodcutter's Journey, which takes nearly three hours and is probably one of the most relaxing and informative forest experiences in South Africa.
The next morning it's a short hop to Nature's Valley, which is also where the famous Otter Trail ends. Lace up your walking shoes once more, because we're going to stretch our legs and go for a 'soul stroll' in the glorious Tsitsikamma section of the Garden Route National Park.
