Maariv, one of Israel's most read newspapers in Hebrew, published an article titled "No Jew Will Be Hurt, It Is Against the Qur'an" written by Shalom Yerushalmi in January 22, 2010. The article, published in two full pages, mostly mentioned the press conference organized by Mr. Adnan Oktar and the Israeli delegation in Istanbul. (Please click to watch or read the text of the press conference.) The delegation, which came to Istanbul in the leadership of Ayoob Kara, Deputy Minister of Israel, gave a message of fellowship to the whole world by supporting Mr. Adnan Oktar's call for love and unity. Shalom Yerushalmi, one of the well-known commentators of Israel, cited his impressions about the meetings he attended and the delegation which he personally accompanied in Istanbul, as follows:
... The head of the delegation was Ayoob Kara, Deputy Minister of Development of the Negev and Galilee. After him in line walked Dimitry Mussa, a Christian priest wearing a black robe; Ameen Kablan, deputy leader of the Druze community, who wore a large turban and a traditional garment; Sheikh Ataf Krinawi from Rahat, with an impressive kaffiyeh and a huge galabia; Japhet Ben Ratzon Tsedaka, one of the heads of the Samaritan community and two Orthodox Rabbis: Yeshayahu Hollander and Ben Abrahamson, both in festive tailcoats. It was hard to overestimate the great excitement that seized the delegation. Soon they would meet with Adnan Oktar, a special devout religious Muslim leader, who attracts hundreds of thousands of supporters, and he is perhaps the only man in Turkey who is willing to stand by Israel these days. Oktar supports us so much that he even invited Noam Shalit, the father of the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, in order to help in liberating "our son, with whom we are suffering", in his own words.
... Ayoob Kara is prepared to explain. During the visit, Kara has turned into Oktar"s number one admirer and declared that he yearns for "the day when he [Mr. Adnan Oktar] will become the leader of the Islamic Ummah." In the middle of the week, the Syrian Mufti Ahmad Badr Al-Din Hassoun made some surprisingly moderate declarations regarding the Jews. "I did my homework and learned that Oktar stands behind the Syrian Mufti"s words", says Kara.
But Syria is only an example. Oktar claims that he is the man who determines the ways in which Iran"s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reacts and behaves... : "Do you remember that Ahmadinejad said that he will wipe Israel off the map? I sent a message to him. I told him that a Muslim cannot say things like that, it is forbidden. It is a sacred place. There are Christians, Muslims and Jews there. There are devout people and children there. This statement is not appropriate. The people who live in Israel are the children of Abraham. It is forbidden that any of the children of Abraham will be hurt. It is written in the Qur"an. From the moment that I delivered the message to him, Ahmadinejad changed his declarations by 180 degrees..."
"No bomb will fall on Israel. It is against the laws of Islam and the Qur"an. Such a thing will never happen. No Jew will be hurt. It is impossible."
Oktar is a fascinating international figure. He is a 54-year-old bachelor, born in Ankara to parents who arrived from Caucasia. He is known throughout the world by his pen name Harun Yahya, a combination that he chose from the names of the Hebrew Aaron the priest and John the Baptist, the Christian apostle...
On Tuesday night, the Israeli delegation sat on Oktar"s set and competed with each other in praising their host who had the pleasure of hosting them in front of six million viewers.
Oktar"s teaching is strict and conservative... but also peace loving. For this reason, it is easy for Orthodox Jews and Christian clerics to join him... In the 300 books that he wrote until now under the pen name Harun Yahya, which were distributed in millions of copies, Oktar attacks Darwinism, atheism and materialism. The combination of these three evil doctrines: evolution, heresy against religion and materialism for its own sake, in his view, caused all the troubles of the modern world, including all wars.
Oktar thinks that Islam will be the factor that will eventually defeat world terror, since the Qur"an forbids any use of force to hurt innocent persons. In his mind, he sees the return of the Turkish Empire under a religious spiritual leadership, with no doubt who will be the supreme leader...
In addition to his widespread Islamic narrative in recent years, Oktar claims that God gave the right to the Jews to live in the Holy Land. He even supports the construction of the Third Temple on the Temple Mount and in the past he hosted leaders of the movements who support this change on the Mount. During the television broadcast on Tuesday, Rabbi Hollander of Bnei Brak was very excited and compared the event in the Istanbul studio to the festive days in the First and Second Temples, when the Jews conducted their prayers and people of all the other nations gathered with devotion around them...

I quoted you exactly. It's all there upthread if you want to double check.

Sure you did!

That depends on how you classify offglides.

Shocking as it may come to someone accustomed to the complete uniformity of English around the world, there are actually multiple acceptable ways of pronouncing Irish. My pronunciation is pretty close to contemporary West Muskerry (though many younger speakers would merge [ou] and [au]). What was the pronunciation you found and where did you find it?
Tikolm wrote:linguoboy wrote:Seann Triubhas. (It's a pretty strict rule of Gaelic orthography that you can't mix "slender" and "broad" vowels like that.)
In Irish, this word is spelled triús, with no silent letters.
Yes, I see now that I misspelled it. Thank you for pointing it up. I didn't realize it was a rule.
The usual formulation is caol le caol agus leathan le leathan ("slender with slender and broad with broad"). Any consonants in the middle of the word should be flanked by vowels of the same type to unambiguously indicate their quality. The chief exceptions are compounds (e.g. neamhní "nothing" from neamh- "non-" plus ní "thing") and a few directional adverbs with the prefix a-, e.g. aníos "from below; upwards", aniar "from the west; from behind".

I need everyones opinion here. My coworkers are getting tired of the little teasing tidbits I bring them from my adventures in Queing. So I suggested they get together adn decide what they wanted. As long as they anteed up for it I would gladly smoke it for them. Well it looks like it's time to put my money where my mouth is.
They have decided on a brisket. Whoo hoo only the most difficult of the meats to get right. I am confident in my abilitites with this, but I have a question about serving this.
I will be doing this a day ahead of time and would like ot know; would you slice it the day it is smoked and or leave it and slice it for serving the next day.
I would appreciate hearing what you all do in this type of situation.

coolhardware - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkCrazy that they included a power supply not rated to meet max consumption, otherwise it seems like a nice industrial machine! Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkAssuming the 68W measured number was wall power it was probably in spec; at 88% efficiency 68W in provides 60W out and peak efficiencies are near 50% at full load it''ll fall off some. It the brick was a cheap low efficiency model it might only have been putting out 50-55W at that point. Reply
Samus - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkI've used a 60w power brick on my A6-5400K system for nearly a year. Like all of them, it is a cheap Chinese brand, but it works. It does get hot, but I never pull 60w from a system where the CPU itself is rated at 65w alone. If you include motherboard overhead (chipset, memory) and SSD/optical drive (yes, it has both) the system should theoretically pull 90w.
But it doesn't. I have a killowatt and it idles around 18w and never goes over 50w while playing back video. Even during Bluray playback it stays under 50w. Reply
flyingpants1 - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkCongratulations. They still should have shipped a larger brick. Reply
g00ey - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkThat's a ... very, very ... E-X-O-T-I-C word for 'power supply'. You know, I shit bricks sometimes, perhaps I should become their supplier... Reply
JSStewart - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkYou should certainly do what you are best qualified for... Reply
flyingpants1 - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkMaybe you already are. That would explain a lot. Reply
alex_alfanet - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkWhat I found interesting is that the system was tested with a 45W TDP CPU but in the specs says that supports up to 35W TDP CPUs and in the Datasheet also says that Power Design Supports up to 35W CPUs. Requiring 10W less translates into a cooler systems and the 60 W power supply should be ok. I found that i7-3612QM and i7-3632QM are 35W TDP CPUs with Tj 105 °C Reply
kylewat - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkI just purchased a PoE router from ubiquiti made to power their 48V PoE+ access points, they include a 24V power brick, 48V brick not included. Reply
Dentons - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkThe external case reaching 155 deg F presents a definite safety issue. That's hot enough to burn skin.
Something reaching that temperature in a work environment would very likely need big warning labels or more likely, be enclosed in a cage to protect workers from incidental contact.
Clearly, this is not for home users. It's hard to imagine a computing product with external case temp of 155 being approved for any consumer, home use. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkA lot of these are probably installed inside other machines; it getting that hot isn't any more of an issue in normal use than all the moving parts sealed away behind access panels. Reply
prophet001 - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkSomething that will behind installed in other machines and used industrially should be tested at temperatures more extreme than 74 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Reply
azjeep - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkAgreed...I am in Tucson, Arizona. This would be great for our shipping clerk but he works indoor but with a large rollup door right next to his office. In the summer his office easily exceeds 90 degrees. Reply
Lord 666 - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkIs your business a sweat shop? Reply
Samus - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkExactly, this will be inside a kiosk. And considering how fast it cools off, by the time it is powered off and removed from the kiosk it'll be stable enough to manage. That's the remarkable part. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkThat is an artificial test case meant to determine how hot the case would become. I hardly expect average consumers to fully load both CPU and GPU 24x7.
By the way, what other fanless mITX configuration is there with such a powerful CPU? Reply
UpSpin - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkWhy should you buy such a powerful CPU if you won't use it. I can imagine, that maybe some movie/music editor would like a fanless dead silent system. Whenever he renders the scene, all four cores will get loaded. The GPU is just a IGP, which won't add that much to the overall temperature. So it's just too hot!
You also have to keep in mind that inside it will be equivalently hot, causing a reduce life of the used parts.
The design is just poor. They would have needed something like the new Mac Pro, which, in my opinion, is the best design for a passive system, because it works like a chimney and causes air flow both inside and out. Reply
Dentons - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkAgreed. What's the point of having an i7 if it can't be used without subjecting the user to burn hazards and sending the components to an early death? If the outside of the case reaches 155 F, how hot does the RAM get? The SSD? The interior heat was probably well above the recommended tolerance of those and other components.
It's not like there aren't use cases for quiet, dust resistant, but powerful machines. A video producer could certainly use a perfectly quiet machine and would definitely run the CPU at full throttle for hours on end. A site architect or movie crew might also find such a combination more beneficial than an i7 laptop.
Most industrial users would probably find a Celeron, Pentium, or i3 more than adequate. This may be a fine case with those lesser chips, but since it wasn't tested, we just don't know. The i7 clearly seems a bit much for their product. They should probably have delivered a more typical customer build for testing, instead of trying to push the envelope with Intel's latest, greatest. Reply
airmantharp - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkActually, Haswell seems more suited for this product- but Ivy is cheap (for now). The system can hold it's own without external help, and provides the perfect balance of performance for it's size and passive cooling. With even a little ventilation, it'd be perfect for running at full load, and few would really stress it that much.
Still, I do like the idea of using lesser SKU's; but that's not what this design is for. Reply
xrror - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - link7th sentence into the article. "So, it is not surprising that Ivy Bridge-based industrial computers are seeing a strong presence in the market only now after long-term validation by the manufacturers."
? Reply
jabber - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkIn reality how many people really need a i7 full stop? Reply
airmantharp - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkIt's too hot? Only if you lock it away. But since it's small and it produces no noise, you could place it somewhere it might get airflow, unlike a larger system.
But why would a music or movie editor use one of these? How is that representative at all? GigE isn't fast enough for that, there is no TB port, so what, USB3? Really?
I think you're perspective on this system is poor- this system is designed to be used outside of the living room, which the Mac Pro is not; and the Mac Pro is huge in comparison! Reply
UpSpin - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkMy current computer is a MiniITX placed on my desk next to my display. I would place the habey PC on the same place, and there's just no airflow, except I mount a fan on top of it. I also don't think that Ganesh placed this computer inside a small box but ran it on his main desk.
What person needs a quad core high end system? How is GigE not fast enough? Why should USB3 (5Gbit/s) not be fast enough? And what has all of this to do with TB? And how are Windows people able to do music or video right now? They also don't have TB! And they also can't stuff all hard discs in their case, but need some larger and more secure storage server somewhere else.
Why do you compare the Mac Pro with this one? I only mentioned it because of its design. The design of this habey is just poor and fails to cool the system. A design similar to the Mac Pro which makes use of a chimney effect would have been much better.
So this system is to be used outside of the living room, but according to you also not suited for work because it lacks TB and we might tax it too much. So we could use it for terminals which need a quad core CPU (I don't know a single use case), but therefore it's also not suited because it will get too hot because there won't be any air flow either.
I don't get it, where can we use such a thing? Reply
Dentons - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkYou're right. There is no use-case for this system as configured. None at all.
Either you need an i7 or you don't. If you need an i7, this product can't cool it adequately, so is a terrible choice. Reply
ganeshts - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkI am pretty sure Habey's intent was to provide enough CPU grunt for occasional bursts and not 24x7 loading.
I am still waiting for someone to link me to a similar product (size / CPU perf.) with better thermal performance. Reply
Dentons - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkThere may not be any similar product able to handle the heat created by a fully utilized i7. That doesn't excuse this product's failings. What it actually suggests is that Habey reached too high.
It shouldn't be surprising that a fully utilized i7 needs active cooling. Reply
UpSpin - Thursday, August 15, 2013 - linkI completely disagree. It's a quad core! If Habey wanted to provide a CPU for occasional bursts used in industrial environments, they would have used a high end dual-core! If one program needs some more processing power it easily gets it. But barely any program scales dynamically across multiple cores, except high end software which won't get used in a terminal but in production environments. And then, this software really taxes the system. You also don't need a quad core for multi-tasking, except you really tax the system (maybe 3 cores) and still want to continue to work with the computer on the fourth core. But again, this Habey system won't support this without exceeding several temperature limits.
And maybe there are no comparable systems, because such a small case with such a poor 08/15 design just can't dissipate the required heat without active cooling? Reply
Dentons - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkThis is a machine designed to function without fans. If it requires air flow in order to work properly, the design is a failure. This case was probably designed to run with far cooler chips, but since that wasn't tested with those, we just don't know if it works adequately with them.
Yes, a lot of video production is done on Mac's, but certainly not all. Probably not even half. Windows does still hold nearly 90% of the desktop / laptop market.
You fail to address the really important question. What is the point of an i7 if it's power can't actually be used? Transcode some video and the temperature of the case will exceed many safety standards and the internal components will be heated to well beyond their rated temps?
That's acceptable? Reply
fluxtatic - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkThe new Mac Pro isn't passive, and how the hell are industrial users going to use something that looks like a trashcan?
The Mac Pro is a an honest-to-god workstation with a Xeon (well, it's got a Xeon, at least). This is like comparing Little League to MLB. Reply
crashtech - Thursday, August 22, 2013 - linkIt's Furmark. I wonder how hot the thing would get in any conceivable real-world app. Probably under half those temps. The takeaway is it passed a torture test. Reply
whyso - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkLooks like its throttling. I have a 3630qm which gets about 6.3-6.4 in cinebench R11.5. This 3720QM is getting significantly lower than that. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkDefinitely not throttling, but I guess the discrepancy is that Habey locks the frequency to 2.6 GHz (Turbo disabled by default, which is what I tested). Maybe your 3630QM is not Turbo-locked in the BIOS.
I was keeping track of the CPU freq all through the benchmark programs and also during the 18-hours stress test. Reply
whyso - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkAh, nice. (It would really be nice if when a result is below normal we got to see the CPU frequency).
Still weird why they would pay extra for the 3720 and then disable turbo compared to simply using a cheaper 3630/3610 or even the 35 watt 3612 with turbo. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkYou can go to the BIOS and unlock Turbo, as long as you are confident about the ambient conditions as well as how much you are going to stress the unit.
From our testing, we can guarantee it will thermally hold up for full load at 76 F with the CPU at 2.6 GHz and GPU at 1.125 GHz. Reply
airmantharp - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkI'd think that Turbo would be useful if the system were in a ventilated environment or wasn't subjected to sustained loads, from a race-to-idle perspective. I do understand the reasoning behind leaving it off by default, though, as it prevents wild swings in performance due to throttling after Turbo. Reply
ervinshiznit - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkOn the power consumption and thermal performance page, it is stated that it is throttling.
"One of the unfortunate aspects of the Aleutia Relia was that the unit ended up getting throttled when subject to heavy loading even at room temperature (72 F)." Reply

rob_allshouse - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkWhy a CD vs a USB? I've had to make one of these decisions recently. $0.12 vs $2-3, on something people just use the internet for anyway. The customer really doesn't want to pay an extra $3 for something that 99% of them don't use. Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkAnd if they wanted the CD they can just set up with an external CD drive, which oftentimes they already have on-hand. Once external CD drive can serve a whole setup team and any of the different industrial pc models. Reply
airmantharp - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkI think the USB stick is the better way to go; how would it look for a retailer to ship a system with a CD in the box and no drive to read it? That's the kind of thing the government does :). Reply
evilspoons - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkAppreciate seeing the reviews of industrial equipment. I use machines similar to this on a regular basis at work (electrical engineer doing industrial automation). The PCs are used to run HMI software for motion controllers, as well as NI's LabView.
This specific model doesn't meet my needs in a few ways - lack of serial ports and lack of 24 V DC input power, but it's good to be aware of other brands.
I'm curious how my usual choice would stack up against this. I've used dozens of Advantech UNO-21xx units, mostly the UNO-2172 with a slow-as-hell Celeron M 1.5 GHz CPU, but they've recently released the UNO-2184G that gets you all the way to some sort of second-gen Core i7. Haven't tried one yet though. Reply
kmmatney - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkYou can always use USB-RS485 or USB-RS232 converters. We've been using converters from EasySynch and they work great. Reply
alex_alfanet - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkevilspoons, I found from this company this option PRO-6820, may be it's what you need. it has 12v-28v dc option and 4 serial ports. Reply
ddriver - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkHey, maybe it is just me, but when I hear "industrial equipment" I imagine durable, overbuilt, mission critical hardware...
The thermal performance is unacceptable, and I doubt that hardware will last more than 2 years before frying itself. Certainly not something I would rely on.
A shame, considering how those rounded radiators really invite the idea for a pair of nice low RPM cylindrical turbine fans that would keep it nice and cool. Reply
Rick83 - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkWell, I'm not sure anyone has done long-term thermal testing of this hardware quite yet. Additionally, I doubt that the usual scenario will see it running at full load for more than minutes at a time. If it were run full throttle for extended amounts of time, I would expect the PSU to fail first.
If you run this device 24/7 at full load, you will know this in advance, and have cooling installed inside the cabinet. But clearly, this was not designed for this kind of permanent load. Still, the cooling keeps everything within spec, so if anything goes wrong inside the first two years, you'll be covered by warranty. Reply
airmantharp - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkBased on how quickly it cools down, having any real airflow over it would likely mitigate most cooling concerns, even in the rare instance of a 100% sustained load over time. I think ddriver is over-dramatizing the issue quite a bit; as you (Rick83) say, the PSU would be likely to fail first, and anyone using this system would be aware of the thermal constraints beforehand and would build the rest of the 'system' with that in mind. And that wouldn't be very hard to do. Reply
ddriver - Monday, August 19, 2013 - linkConsidering the outside of the case hits 70 degree C and it is even hotter inside, that already puts most of the components outside of their optimal operating temperatures, dramatically increasing the chance of errors or failures. Industrial strength equipment never operates on its limits and mandates significant headroom.
God forbid this thing gets direct sunlight while under load... Reply
cjs150 - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkVery interesting. I have a fanless HDPLEX case running an i7-3770T. Running at full load for about 45 mins it tops out at around 92C core temperature (room was 23C). I use it as an HTPC so other than encoding a Bluray it rarely gets stressed to that level. Hdplex have improved the case since I got mine so may well run a few degrees cooler with the new case.
I believe that the best way to drop core temperature is to remove the IHS, replace the crap intel thermal paste with something decent and refit IHS. I could not be bothered, but worth considering Reply
garadante - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkWith the system running that hot, I would've liked to have seen temperatures for the other components, notable the SSD. I don't think SSDs are designed to run as hot and as long as CPUs/GPUs are. Same with the RAM. Reply
airmantharp - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkThat'd definitely be nice, but I don't think it'd be much of a problem; RAM has a high thermal tolerance these days, and the SSD is pretty far away. I'd be much more worried about an mSATA drive and WiFi mPCIe card, though, and I'm kind of puzzled why those options weren't explored. Reply
garadante - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkWell looking at the external temperatures of the case, it looks like some areas are hitting 70 degrees Celsius, which is above the working temperature for many SSDs I believe, which are rated for 60 degrees. generally? But not to mention every component in there is likely baking at around 70 C, I'd like to see an analysis on the actual temperatures inside there and the impact this would have on longevity. Reply
OCedHrt - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkStill waiting for one with eSATA output. Seriously. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkPretty sure Habey would be ready to do a custom back panel for you if it is required in volume (for a price, of course). There are plenty of spare SATA ports on the motherboard. Reply
airmantharp - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkHe could just cut a hole for one or two- where's your Dremel and sense of adventure?!? Reply
JimmiG - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkWould be interesting to see what could be done with an ATX-sized case acting as a heatsink. There would be a *lot* of surface area to dissipate the heat.. Reply
cjs150 - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkZalman did one a few years back. Very heavy and expensive but worked Reply
ganeshts - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkYou can take a look at our Streacom FC10 review (linked in the article). It performs well and obviously better than this one because of its size. Reply
Heartdisease - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkIt sounds like this would be a perfect unit to put in a car behind the dash as a media hub for the Kiddo's. How is therice compared to a do it yourself non dust proof box? Reply
fluxtatic - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkWay overkill - within a couple weeks, I'll be putting a PC in my car - AsRock E350 board with a 128GB Samsung 830 SSD, 7" Lilliput touchscreen in the dash - all told it'll be around a third the price these start at, and won't have any problems serving up music/GPS/radio. And you hardly need dustproof - check mini-itx.com or mp3car.com, they have cases specifically intended for car PCs that would still let you build something way cheaper than this. Depending on where you live, it could be a poor choice for another reason - ambient heat could be a problem, and it wouldn't be the easiest thing to ventilate. Reply
coolhund - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkWhy overkill? If you hang one or two HD cameras onto it, or like 4 SD ones, it will need that kind of power. Not to mention if you use several monitors.
However, as a Car PC it has FAR too few USB connectors, since USB Hubs are just a huge source for problems. Even for normal use its too few. Even my desktop computer needs at least 9 and I really dont have anything unusual on it. Reply

Dame Mary Fagan, the Lord- Lieutenant of Hampshire, was the guest of honour at Whitchurch Silk Mill, where visitors heard how the trustees are applying for a £1.7million Heritage Lottery Fund grant to bring the mill back to its former glory.
In order to apply for the funds, the trustees need to show that they can raise a percentage themselves towards the cost of the project.
Rupert Nabarro, chairman of Whitchurch Silk Mill trustees, said: "After two years under new leadership, the mill is ready to begin the process of major restoration and development at what is one of Hampshire's most valuable assets.
"The trustees will submit a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund in August, entitled Preserving the Fabric, for a substantial grant to do the work that has been long awaited. That application has to be supported by fundraising and the board is therefore launching the Bicentenary Appeal."
During the reception, guests heard about the plans for the mill, including updating the machinery and revitalising displays.
Mr Nabarro added: "The mill was at serious risk of closure two years ago and was rescued largely by the energy and diligence of Whitchurch citizens.
"Its finances and governance are now in good order and a complete audit of all aspects of its work has been undertaken. The trustees now know what is needed to take the mill safely into the future."
For people prepared to make a substantial donation over the life of the appeal, the trustees are offering the chance to join a circle of Mill Benefactors, who will each be publicly acknowledged in the mill list of supporters and will be given an appeal scarf or tie, woven at the mill, in recognition of their generosity.
Whitchurch Town Council agreed a grant of £1,000 towards the appeal at its latest meeting on Monday.
Mr Nabarro had written to the council requesting £500, but councillors agreed to double this to show their support.
Councillor Claire Isbester, who is a trustee of the mill, told the meeting: "I will report back to the trustees, and they will be thrilled with your resounding vote of confidence."

Topic: GGT/GGTP and ALT raised in blood test
Very strange question...... My husband and I had blood work done recently, we were applying for life insurance. My blood work all came back normal. His did not; the ALT(SGPT) is supposed to be 0-45 and his is 48, the GGT/GGTP is supposed to be 2-65 and his is 90. I looked up online how to read blood tests and both of those have to do with your liver function. He is on medicine for cholesterol, because it is quite high.
Here is what I found online-
AST, ALT, SGOT, SGPT, and GGT and Alkaline Phosphatase are abbreviations for proteins called enzymes which help all the chemical activities within cells to take place. Injury to cells release these enzymes into the blood. They are found in muscles, the liver and heart. Damage from alcohol and a number of diseases are reflected in high values.
GGT is also elevated in liver disease, particularly with obstruction of bile ducts.
Okay, so it totally threw me for a loop. Am I just totally overreacting since obviously this touches a little close to home with mom's situation? He has a dr apt in July to get his cholesterol checked again. He just went to the dr in May and had blood work done and the dr said that everything was okay?

ON the bleak steep hillside above Fence, leading out towards Barley, is the small hamlet of Newchurch-in-Pendle.
The historic community, which has around 80 residents in quaint cottages and across scattered farms, has amenities including St Mary's Church and neighbouring St Mary's Newchurch Primary School.
The area, which attracts many hikers, was, in 1612, at the centre of the largest witch hunt in English history.
Pendle witch trials saw the arrest and execution of ten alleged witches, with one of the families at the centre of the trial, the Demdikes, living in Newchurch.
The legacy of the witch trials still lives on in the area, with Lancashire's only dedicated witchcraft shop, Witches Galore, in the heart of Newchurch, selling witches' outfits and memorabilia, including books, jewellery, ornaments and plaques.
Although the current St Mary's Church was built in the 17th century, there was a chapel of ease on the site in 1250 and a later chapel was dedicated in 1544.
To the east of the porch, up against the south wall, is the grave of a member of the Nutter family.
Legend has it that it's the last resting place of Alice Nutter, one of the Pendle witches. However, historians believe this is unlikely, as executed witches were not usually buried in consecrated ground.
Maureen Stopforth, 73, owner of Witches Galore, has lived in the village and run the shop for 33 years.
Although she originally was against moving to the village from her home town of Nelson, she says there is now nowhere she would rather live. She said: "When my husband mentioned moving here and running the shop, my initial thought was that I would die of boredom.
"But 33 years on I am still here and love it.
"We see people from all walks of life here, many from across the globe who come because they have heard of the Pendle witches.
"I love the peace and quiet living in Newchurch.
"I can set off walking with my dog and not see a single person.
"We have fantastic views of Pendle from here and the surrounding countryside.
"I feel so lucky that I am able to live somewhere as beautiful as this, it really lifts the spirit.
"Although it is so quiet living here, you can be soon into town, with Burnley and Clitheroe both within easy reach.
"As there are only 80 to 90 people who live here, we have a very close knit community.
"Everyone knows each other and people look out for the ill or elderly."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - When the 2013 legislative session begins next week, Florida lawmakers will be greeted by civil rights groups demanding changes to voting laws.
Activists who say long lines and outdated laws kept people from voting in the November 2012 presidential election are already in Tallahassee looking for support of a bill that would extend early voting and make otherwise ease the voting process.
Crowded around a lectern in front of a voting office Thursday, more than a dozen civil rights leaders laid out their election reform plan.
"We have a situation where whole segments of the population are disenfranchised from the voting process," said Phelicia Steill, of the National Congress of Black Women.
The group wants 14 days of early voting, the right to vote on the Sunday before an election and automatic restoration of voting rights for former felons.
"(We) believe that the voting system has instead been carefully constructed to disenfranchise young black and brown people," said Ciara Taylor, of Dream Defenders.
Four months after the election that featured long lines outside south Florida voting precincts on national television, state lawmakers seem to be in the mood to change voting laws to shorten the wait times.
Most of what the group is asking for is laid out in a bill sponsored by Sen. Oscar Braynon, who says he drafted the bill in honor of Desiline Victor, a 102-year-old Miami woman who waited six hours to vote.
Victor was honored by President Barack Obama during his State of Union address earlier this month.
"She was told the wait to vote might be six hours. As time ticked by, her concern was not with her tired body or aching feet, but whether folks like her would get to have their say," Obama said.
The Desiline Free and Fair Democracy Act would create a system of automatic voter registration and allow people to change their voting information at the polls on Election Day.
An elections reform bill has already passed a House committee. The Senate is preparing to pass a bill giving supervisors of elections the authority to make their own early voting schedules.
That provision concerns civil rights leaders, who fear the flexibility would lead to voter suppression in some counties.

Dooley: Blame aplenty for UF loss
Published: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 6:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 8:36 p.m.
MIAMI GARDENS — Jeff Driskel stood against a wall in the bowels of Sun Life Stadium as Miami fans celebrated just yards away. He answered all the questions with conviction. He took all the blame anybody wanted to shovel on him.
"It was awful," he said. "We were moving the ball all day long. But I made a couple of mistakes and they were costly."
It will be easy to beat up Driskel after his performance. On the one hand, he was 22-of-33 for 291 yards. He ran for 39 yards (losing 20 in sack yardage to bring his total down to 19) and ran for a score.
But the problem was that Driskel was either really, really good or really, really bad. Florida only needs him to be an average quarterback and while really, really good and really, really bad may add up to average, they certainly didn't add up Saturday.
There was plenty of blame to go around for this loss.
The defense played great football after the first quarter, but that first quarter gave Miami just what it needed — the belief that it could play with the mighty Gators. There were a lot of bewildered looks in the press box when Florida went for two after its first score. I don't get it. Coach Will Muschamp said he would do it again, but I still don't get it.
There were a lot of bad decisions in this game. Like tight end Clay Burton's personal foul and Dominique Easley's roughing the passer and the fourth-and-1 that went nowhere.
But what will be remembered the most from this game was the decisions Driskel made.
The worst were his two interceptions.
They were the kind of plays that left you shaking your head because they're exactly the kind of plays he can't make. When you're going to play this style of football, the margin of error is small and these were errors that were bigger than the ocean a few miles away.
On the first, Driskel threw into triple coverage. That was one play after he sailed a pass over the head of a wide-open Quinton Dunbar in the end zone. Maybe he was pressing because points were so valuable.
"It was a dumb play," Driskel said. "I tried to make a bigger play than I should have."
You throw that away and you have a chip-shot field goal and it's 14-9 and your plan to wear Miami out is working and your defense is stuffing the 'Canes like a Thanksgiving turkey.
"You can't throw the ball into coverage in the red zone," Muschamp said. "You just can't do that."
Driskel bounced back to drive the Gators down the field again. Driving the ball was the least of their problems. But on fourth-and-1 at the Miami 17, Driskel ran into a wall of Hurricanes for no gain.
I don't have a problem with going for it at that point in the second quarter. I'm not a big fan of the quarterback sneak, especially when Miami shifts its entire defense to stop it.
At that point, Driskel has to be smart enough to call a timeout or check to another play. Instead, it was another bad decision.
The second interception, I can't explain who he was trying to throw to.
As a result, every time you thought the Gators might be ready to take this game over, they allowed Miami to seize the momentum.
Here's the bad news for Florida — I came into this game thinking Miami was the fifth best team UF will play this season. I leave this game thinking the exact same thing. I know Miami is celebrating this win like it just won the Super Bowl and it should. The Hurricanes beat the hated Gators in front of a rare sellout crowd.
But it doesn't mean Miami is back. You can't count on five turnovers in every game.
As for Florida, it's clear to me that this defense is good enough to keep the Gators in every game, and there were a lot of things I liked about this offense, even if it's hard to watch at times.
But Florida can't beat anybody with this many mistakes.
"We couldn't hold on to the ball," Driskel said. "And it starts with me."
On Saturday, it ended there, too.

The people who say that never met Gordon Harry Fordyce, the World War II and Korean War veteran who lived in the home just to the west of me in the friendly confines of Carroll's Rolling Hills. We were neighbors for about five years.
Mr. Fordyce, 83, died last week at his home of an apparent heart attack.
We are all, of course, mortal, and if you were born in 1926 and served your nation through some of its major trials and snared the octogenarian title, you beat the odds. You had a good life. Mr. Fordyce certainly did.
That considered, some people are so vigorous, so full of life, that it's hard to conceive of them being gone. Gordie fits the bill with change to spare.
"I had told people for years my dad was going to make the Grim Reaper work," said one of his daughters, Cynthia Gullicks, of Duluth, Minn.
It's hard to imagine Mr. Fordyce not pulling up in my driveway after a cattle business loop in the Dakotas or somewhere else. Sometimes he'd get back from a fishing trip and wonderful fish would magically appear in my freezer. I especially liked it when Mr. Fordyce would return from Alaska and the just-caught salmon from our nation's northern reaches made it from one of Gordon's large coolers to my house and grill.
Gordie worked right up until he passed away in the cattle business he loved. In the last few weeks of his life, Gordie also found time to hunt and visit his beloved grandchildren. He was a man in motion, to be sure.
The family tells me Mr. Fordyce was cleaning pheasants when Heaven's call came. He would have loved to be around to tell me that one with that mischievous twinkle of his.
We were neighbors who enjoyed talking in what I think of as our lawn-and-life exchanges — six minutes of his astute observations and advice (and the occasional good-natured complaint) about my yard and landscaping challenges and 54 minutes about life.
"Dad never considered anyone a stranger," Cynthia told me the other night as we talked about pending arrangements for services and a reception honoring her father, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. military who went on to a career with Ralston Purina and then, at age 62, started an independent cattle consulting business. The family found a cattle magazine open on his desk and a calendar — for 2011 — affixed to his refrigerator. He'd grown up around cattle in northern Iowa and even spent some time as a teen-ager working on a ranch in Montana.
"This was a man who had no intention of dying anytime soon," Cynthia said.
At times of loss — and anytime, really, for that matter — it is spectacularly offensive when people assume familiarity, when they posit themselves as closer to someone than they actually were. Gordie and I were not super close friends, although he had an abundance of those.
But he made life for me in Carroll much richer. Sometimes the basement door off my garage would crack open, and I'd hear Gordie, with his contagiously optimistic voice, call my name, wanting to have a chat about this or that.
More than once, I thought: You know, this is why one lives in a place like Carroll. You get to have neighbors like Gordie.
One afternoon, a scorching summer affair if memory serves, I'd finished mowing, and Gordie popped over to my driveway.
We moved from one subject to another. At the time I was in my late 30s and observed that, "Well, you know, I'm single without kids. What in the world am I doing with my life, Gordie?"
His eyes brightened, a warm grin emerged, and Gordie waved off my observation.
"You're doing just fine, Doug," he said.
That meant something coming from Mr. Fordyce, a straight shooter congenitally incapable of suffering life's smoke-blowers. I felt better, and we went back to talking about local issues of the day or St. Louis (of which we were both enormously fond) or Alaska or Thief River Falls, Minn., where he married his lovely wife, Arlys in 1951. She passed recently as well.
The couple moved to Carroll in the mid-1980s, after they had raised their kids. They made a life and plenty of friends.
Carroll is better as a result of their decision to locate here. And so is my life.
Godspeed, dear neighbor.

Prime Minister David Cameron's visit last week to the United States underscored the important relationship between the U.S. and Britain, both politically and economically.
Britain's new coalition government faces tremendous challenges, many of which are similar to the United States' problems. Britain's public debt was 68 percent of GDP at the end of 2009; the comparable figure for the U.S. was 53 percent.
Cameron's coalition aims to slash government spending over the next five years. The eventual goal is to cut Britain's annual budget deficits in half over five years, which will mean some ministries will face funding reductions of up to 40 percent. Even the popular National Health Service (NHS) will be ordered to make personnel cuts, although overall it will face much lighter cuts than other ministries. About 75 percent of deficit reduction will be achieved with budget cuts while the other quarter presumably will come from raising revenues.
The proposed cuts in Britain stand in stark contrast to the three-year freeze on domestic discretionary spending President Obama has proposed. Although broad generalizations cannot—and, indeed, should not—be drawn from these figures, it is clear that both the U.S. and Britain face long-term challenges to restore fiscal sustainability and public confidence in the ability of government to tackle complex economic and political issues.
In Britain's parliamentary elections last May, Cameron's Conservative Party won a narrow victory. However, the Conservatives did not secure enough seats to capture a governing majority. In a surprising move, Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, joined Cameron to form a rare coalition government in which Clegg assumed the role of deputy prime minister. Although the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats are ideological opposites in most respects, tension between the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats led Clegg to support Cameron's Conservatives rather than Gordon Brown's Labour Party.
If successful in stabilizing Britain's government finances, the new coalition government could prove to be a political role model for the U.S., which has seen legislative gridlock for years as Republicans and Democrats have competed for political power in a zero-sum game that has produced record deficits and debt over the past decade.
In the U.S., many economists and policymakers contend that additional government spending is required to bring down the unemployment rate and stimulate the economy. In Britain the consensus seems to have gone in the opposite direction, with Cameron and other European leaders arguing greater fiscal austerity is needed to infuse more capital into the private sector.
The gap between U.S. and British policy—and European economic policy in general—has become a point of contention between President Obama and European policymakers. Indeed, President Obama cautioned Cameron in June against premature reductions in government spending which, he said, could prompt a double-dip recession.
Short-term disputes over economic stimulus aside, it is clear that both the U.S. and Britain have their work cut out for them—especially in the long-term—to reduce unsustainable levels of debt that will, if left unchecked, cripple the global economy.

March 24, 1884 — Tarnopol, Poland
Samson was raised by Jewish parents in Tarnopol. His father died when Samson was 13, and Samson went to work to help support his mother and four brothers and sisters. In October 1918 Samson married Kaethe Ert, and the couple moved to Hanover, Germany, where Samson worked as a traveling salesman. Their son Herbert was born in 1920.
1933-39: In 1938 Kaethe and I got our son an exit visa on America's Polish quota (since we were Polish citizens). Later that year, the Gestapo came to our door with deportation papers. We were among 1,000 Jews from Hanover sent "home" to Poland. We went by train until just before the Polish border. Then, while the women stayed on the train, the men were ordered to continue on foot. The Nazis beat us men and literally shoved us into Poland.
1940-44: Having met up after crossing the border into Poland, Kaethe and I made our way to Tarnopol, which was occupied by the Soviets. Then the Germans invaded in 1941 and I was arrested for evading a forced-labor detail for Jewish men. In jail, a drunk SS guard was screaming in German, "Who killed the German soldier?" When no one answered, he yelled, "Who speaks German?" I stepped forward. He made me repeat the question in Polish, and said if nobody confessed I'd be shot. I stood there, expecting a bullet in my back at any moment.
Samson was released by the SS guard. He survived the war and emigrated to the United States in 1946.

On July 6, I let my wife out of my pickup truck at a local restaurant. The sky had opened up, and the rainfall was tremendous. I then drove to a parking space, opened the door and my umbrella, locked the door and stepped out.
I want to thank the Hall County Fire Department for carrying me out of Chicopee Woods on July 10. I was working with a crew from the Elachee Nature Science Center in the deep woods on a project. I was unable to get out on my own due to my injuries and was so grateful to see these guys.
On Thursday, July 4, we had planned on attending a cookout and watching the fireworks. It was rained out. As a result, I watched the movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy," starring Jimmy Cagney.
I regret not having written this sooner in praise of Jim "Bimbo" Brewer, former witness advocate for Hall County Sheriff's Office. He's been splashed on front page again rehashing a small incident, albeit a momentary lack of judgment call, an instant decision to help someone while off duty. After his many years of dedicated service with an unblemished record, he was in his home, off duty, yet having to make an instant decision to go to the aid of folks needing him.
Right now we have a golden opportunity that we are rarely afforded by our gridlocked political system: A true, full, broad and deep national debate on what we want as far as a balance of security, privacy and convenience.
It has been a while since my emotions have been so stirred up I felt the need to write a letter. I get a sick feeling in my stomach the first five minutes of my morning commute and the last five minutes of my afternoon commute home. It's like the feeling I get when I drive through an area that has been swept by a tornado. In fact, for a while what I was seeing reminded me of just that. What I have been seeing is not an act of God but premeditated destruction, plain and simple. Homes and ...
My condolences go out to the Goldware family, whose 14-year-old was killed and two infants injured in a wreck on Interstate 75. May God comfort you in this time of grief.
In his recent column on NSA leaker Ed Snowden, Jonah Goldberg called him a fool for the love of an idea. I wonder what idea Goldberg intended? Could it be the idea that our government should be true to the wishes of the electorate? Surely that's a foolish thought, right? Only fools would think their vote matters, and only fools would believe the constitutional will of the majority should be a binding command on the government.
U.S. Rep. Doug Collins of the 9th District has explained his rationale for transferring Camp Merrill to the Army. But he does not explain why he thinks that this issue does not deserve proper public notice and review. He is violating the basic democratic principles he was elected to uphold.
True patriotism is a Christian virtue, a Christian principle. It involves a devoted love, support and defense of one's country. It is a national loyalty.
I went to the library today and found it did not open until noon. I waited over an hour for it to open; when it did, there was a long line of people waiting to get in. In the parking lot were several cars of employees working.
It has been a while since the Friendship Road name change was voted on and passed. I, for one, was very disappointed in Billy Powell's vote for this change.
Shame on Chestatee Golf Club and course superintendent Andrew Maronge for the decision to execute the resident geese rather than share the grass and put up with a little brown turf!

HOUSTON - A baby who was born with her heart partially outside her chest went home from the hospital on Wednesday.
Since the day she was born, baby Audrina has been surrounded by a team of doctors.
"I'm nervous and anxious," mom Ashley Cardenas said.
It's the day she has been waiting for. She is packing up and finally taking her baby home.
"It's a very, very big step. It's been a blessing to finally say we're going home," said Cardenas.
Baby Audrina was born with one-third of her heart outside her body. She has been hooked up to machines and surrounded by doctors for three and a half months.
At 16 weeks gestation, Audrina was diagnosed with Ectopia Cardis. She was born full term on Oct. 16 and immediately rushed to surgery.
Audrina's heart beating just under the skin is visible. As Cardenas prepared to leave Texas Children's Hospital, she placed a pink protective shield over Audrina's chest, which will protect her heart as she grows.
"She doesn't have a sternum. She doesn't have anything over her heart, just a little bit of skin and little muscle," said Cardenas.
Audrina still needs oxygen and uses a feeding tube, but she is strong and defying the odds.
Eventually, doctors will use a portion of her rib bone to build a sternum.

Colin Jeter was at the right place at the right time.
Scouring Texas for a tight end last month, LSU assistant Steve Ensminger stumbled upon Longview High. Jeter, who had graduated from the school a year earlier, just happened to be there.
"It was weird how it worked out," Jeter said in a phone interview Wednesday. "It's crazy."
Jeter's meeting with Ensminger turned into a trip to camp, which led to a scholarship offer.
The 6-foot-6, 235-pound tight end committed to LSU on Saturday while at the program's junior college football camp, and he'll be eligible to play this fall, he confirmed.
Jeter, who spent last season playing at Kilgore College in Texas, is set to be the 25th member of the Tigers' 2014 signing class, one ranked No. 2 nationally. He has not yet signed a National Letter of Intent, and it's unclear when he'll do so.
Jeter plans to arrive on campus by the time fall camp begins Aug. 4.
"I never expected it, and now that it's here it's kind of overwhelming," he said. "It's a blessing."
Jeter, a two-star rated prospect, signed with Air Force out of Longview High in February 2013. He transferred from Air Force to Kilgore about a month before the 2013 season began.
Jeter said he had offers this year from South Carolina, Central Arkansas and UT-San Antonio. He chose LSU after his first visit to campus last weekend and made his commitment to coaches on Monday night.
Jeter will be a sophomore this season. He expects to be a reserve this year behind veterans Travis Dickson and Dillon Gordon.
"It's more about getting in and getting acclimated to the system and playing whenever they need me," Jeter said.
Jeter had eight catches in each of his last two seasons at Longview, helping more as a run-blocker in a ground-oriented offense. He had 112 yards receiving and a touchdown during his senior year and 132 yards and four touchdowns as a junior.
Jeter caught 14 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown at Kilgore last season.
"I'm a pretty good all around tight end, blocking and receiving. I'm hard-nosed and tough," he said. "Not afraid to put my hand in the dirt and block down on someone."
Jeter joins offensive tackle Jevonte Domond as a junior college transfer that LSU has picked up over the last few weeks. Domond has signed with the school and is expected to report in August.
Jeter, meanwhile, is just lucky to have stumbled upon Ensminger while the coach was on the recruiting trail.
"These past few weeks," Jeter said, "have been crazy."
2015 QB commits
LSU has its 2015 quarterback.
Justin McMillan, a three-star pro-style quarterback out of Texas, committed to the Tigers on Wednesday, he confirmed.
McMillan, a 6-foot-2, 170-pounder, is ranked as the 64th pro-style quarterback in the nation for 2015, according to 24/7 Sports' composite rankings. McMillan worked out at LSU's high school camp Tuesday. He was offered Wednesday and committed on the spot, he said.
McMillan can make his non-binding commitment binding in February on national signing day.
"The coaching staff is like a family," McMillan said of why he chose the Tigers over offers from UNLV and Arkansas State. "LSU and its fans are crazy supportive."
As a junior last season at Cedar Hill High in Texas, McMillan threw for 2,367 yards and 29 touchdowns. He completed 60 percent of his passes and tossed 10 interceptions in leading Cedar Hill to the state title.
McMillan is the 12th member of a 2015 class that ranks No. 6 nationally, according to 24/7 Sports. He's the first QB commit in the class. The Tigers signed quarterback Brandon Harris in the 2014 class and received a commit from dual-threat Florida QB Feleipe Franks for 2016.
LSU lost two quarterbacks this spring when junior Stephen Rivers and redshirt freshman Hayden Rettig transferred. Rivers has joined Vanderbilt. Rettig reportedly took a visit to Rutgers.

For the past couple of years I have contemplated how I can offer more naturally scented soaps – that is, using plant-derived scents instead of synthetic fragrances. Natural essential oils can provide many beneficial properties from the plants they were extracted from. Some are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-depressant, and the list goes on… (For more information about essential oils and their properties, please visit AromaWeb.)
However, there are limitations to using essential oils in handmade soaps. Natural scents are limited by what can be found in nature, and what can be distilled into an essential oil. Even though apples and raspberries can be found in nature, there's no such thing as apple or raspberry essential oil, for example. Natural scents are usually quite a bit more expensive than their synthetic counterparts, and their scents may not hold up to what is initially a rather harsh environment when the soap is made. As the soap cures over several weeks, it becomes extremely mild, but during those first 24 hours the fresh soap is very caustic and hot. Some natural essential oils can be skin irritants, and others can cause the skin to be extra-sensitive to sun exposure, and some are unsafe during pregnancy, so not all natural ingredients are actually good for your skin!
There are several soaps in the Great Cakes Soapworks line that are currently scented synthetically, but could be scented naturally. For instance, last year I was able to create a blend of essential oils for the Oatmeal, Milk & Honey soap that doesn't really smell like the synthetic fragrance I used to use, but is still a very nice alternative. Just this past week, I decided to see if I could re-create the Cinnamon Bun Coffee Soap with some natural essences. I have some 20-fold vanilla oleoresin that is quite thick and holds up to the soapmaking process. Combining it with a bit of cinnamon essential oil smells pretty fantastic, but doesn't have the same WOW factor as the synthetic fragrance. Not to mention that the oleoresin alone is more than twice the price of its synthetic counterpart. Here is the result of my test batch of five bars:
I don't think I'll be re-creating this soap in a full-sized batch though. Even if the scent came close to what my customers are used to, unfortunately I couldn't justify the price.
I also experimented with a couple of new soaps that are completely natural, and I believe they turned out much nicer. The first one is a test batch (5 bars) of Ginger Lime, made with ginger CO2 extract and four-fold lime essential oil and colored with algae powder:
It smells amazing!! I'm not sure how the green color will hold up over time, but I like the results so far! Depending on how my customers like it, I am hoping to create full-sized batches (24 bars) of this one.
The next soap came as a request from a customer for something scented with bergamot. She uses it in an oil diffuser at home and wanted to know if I had any soaps or could make a soap with the same scent. She reminded me that bergamot is what gives earl grey tea its flavor! I used a bergamot essential oil with reduced bergaptine, so it won't cause photosensitivity and mixed it with a couple other "secret" essential oils. The result is what I'm calling Citrus Soother:
Citrus Soother is colored with rose clay, french green clay, and more algae powder. I made a medium-sized batch of this one, so there are 11 bars. All three of these all-natural soaps will be available for purchase at Greatcakessoapworks.com around February 11th.

Madhya Pradesh has become a hub for protests against land seizures
India farmers risk life and limb for land
ucanews.com reporter, Bhopal
December 6, 2012
The central state of Madhya Pradesh has in recent months become a hotbed of farmers' protests.
Farmers in the region have taken desperate measures to oppose what they say are illegal land seizures made for the benefit of industrial projects, and have demanded fair compensation for the loss of their land.
The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes even issued strongly worded letter to chief minister of the state Shivraj Singh Chauhan last month.
"Even the state government failed to comply with its own rehabilitation policy when it came to land acquisition of tribal communities, endangering their life and livelihood," the letter stated.
The commission says that a spot study conducted in September found several examples of intimidation by private companies to acquire tribal lands without compensation in Anuppur and Singrauli districts.
In response, farmers in several districts have engaged in extreme protests, with about 50 of them standing neck deep in water for more than two weeks to demand compensation for land seized for the construction of a state dam project.
The state government ultimately agreed to their demands.
In another protest, about 50,000 landless and homeless peasants marched 350 kilometers from Gwalior district to New Delhi in October to demand about two hectares of land for each family to build a house and manage a small holding.
They also demanded special courts be established to hear land dispute cases.
The protesters later called off their march after the government assured them it would formulate a new land reform policy that would include fast-tracking settlements of land disputes.
However, more recent protests have taken a deadly turn.
On November 15, a woman set herself ablaze and a youth took poison to resist the acquisition of their land in Katni district.
Other farmers in the area subsequently began perching on unlit pyres and threatening to immolate themselves if their land was seized by the state.
"The government wants to exploit the poverty and illiteracy of the tribal people for its advantage by ignoring the laws meant for their protection," said Mustak Mansoori, a complainant to the tribal commission.
Mansoori, a member of the Janata Dal United (Socialist Party), told ucanews.com that displaced tribal people were being deprived of their constitutional right to a dignified life.
In gross violation of the law, the government used police to evict them from ancestral lands, he said.
Developments this week, however, may hold some hope for compromise.
The state government yesterday addressed the issue of the pyre protests in Katni district. The House debated for nearly four hours, during which chief minister of the state Chauhan said protesters' lands would not be taken until or unless they gave their consent.
Chauhan further assured the House that farmers' land would not be taken forcefully for commercial purposes and that the state government would make amends if any such incidents had taken place.

Sonia Rykiel Spring 2012
Before going any further, the full disclosure: I am a huge, huge Sonia Rykiel fan. I love what Rykiel (the woman and the label) has done for six decades now. I love the look she created (the striped sweaters, the lingerie dressing, the marabou coats, the forties dresses, the fedoras, the fox stoles). I love the shows—four girls linked arm in arm skipping down the runway lip-syncing to some (obscure to these ears) French chanson, the "We Are the World"-style finale at one show (I seem to remember models strumming acoustic guitars), another in her Left Bank store with the girls walking, talking, and saucily winking all at the same time. . . . I mean, heaven. And, again, before going any further, there were some adorable high Rykiel moments (more of which later) in the spring collection, shown on a blazing hot Saturday afternoon, created under the direction of Sonia's daughter Nathalie Rykiel and new hire April Crichton, while the woman whose name is on the label sat in the front row, in black, the fabulous titian Colette hair to the fore.
And yet . . . something was missing. It could have been the venue: the Halle Freyssinet on the outskirts of the city, a gargantuan and impersonal and (by those that have to trail out there, at any rate) loathed location nicknamed the Hell Freyssinet; the daunting size and feeling of the space felt at odds with the clothes, and just as importantly, the Rykiel brand, which is built on a belief in warmth, optimism, and joie de vivre. And somehow that disorientation of spirit filtered through to some of the clothes. When this collection was good, it was very good, with the house laying claim to all the ideas that are filtering through this season and are actually quintessentially Rykiel: small, cropped, patterned knits, here playing on a layered dance theme, worn with longer, flared skirts; fluid, elegant pleated silk dresses, skirts, tops, and culottes, with something of a late seventies vibe to them, partnered with an oversize, caped, back-capped-sleeve ivory slipover, say, or a graphic bandstriped sweater; and, a rather charming exuberantly colorful floral silk dress given a cool, sporty touch by being mixed up with athletic black bands.
Where it didn't work so well were with some of the tan looks, in straight-cut black-edged dresses and flared pants, with their minimalistic feel that lacked the warmth and passion of the truly Parisian house of Rykiel; more of a play to an idea of the contemporary fashion landscape than to what Mme. Rykiel was so brilliantly about. It's undoubtedly true the house can't stay stuck in the past, playing to an ersatz idea of what it used to be, but next show, it would be wonderful to see much more of that truly French feeling, in the clothes and the show, that always made Rykiel such a rare and special treat.

Blackburn global adviser Shebby Singh denies involvement in contract talks
Blackburn's global adviser Shebby Singh has denied ever being involved in player contract negotiations at the club.
Last Updated: 10/04/13 3:30pm
National newspaper reports on Tuesday outlined what they believed to be Singh's involvement in the transfer market and claimed Rovers paid large amounts on a host of Portuguese players.
The reports also allege that the club are burdened with 13 players whose combined wages and agents' fees will cost the club £30million over the length of their contracts.
However, Singh, who has been forced to respond to a number of accusations during his time at Ewood Park, has come out fighting.
"I have been involved in discussions regarding players and their abilities and potential, but have never been involved in contract negotiations," he told the Lancashire Telegraph.
"That was not my remit and hence I have no idea about individual player earnings and such."

Philippos Nakas Conservatory
Philippos Nakas Conservatory (PNC) was founded in 1989. Featuring a professionally organized facility, the conservatory is based in the center of Athens, a natural crossroads between East and West with a significant cultural heritage and musical tradition. Most of the programs of study are geared toward students qualifying for a professional diploma recognized by the Greek Ministry of Culture.
Aside from the central school, PNC operates 11 subsidiaries. Seven subsidiaries are in operation in different areas of Athens and three subsidiaries operate in the cities of Thessaloniki, Ioannina, and Patras.
Major Courses of Study
• Instrumental performance studies (piano, strings, woodwinds, brass, timpani, and percussion)
• Higher theoretical studies and composition
• Instrumental performance studies in jazz, pop, rock, world, and contemporary music
• Intensive program in conjunction with the Berklee curriculum articulation and credit transfer agreement
• Jazz composition and arranging
• Vocal studies - opera
• Byzantine music
• Music technology
• Film scoring
• Greek traditional and popular music
• Junior preparatory courses
• Music pedagogy
Major Partners
• Berklee College of Music (since 1991)
• Yamaha Music Foundation, Tokyo (since 1983)
Philippos Nakas Conservatory was a founding member of the Berklee International Network (BIN) in 1993, an organizer of the BIN Summit 2000 in Athens and Delphi, and cofounder and the first host school for the Berklee Study Abroad program in the spring semester of 2006.
In 1999, Philippos Nakas Conservatory entered into a curriculum articulation and credit transfer agreement with Berklee College of Music, which allows students who have completed the intensive program in Athens to transfer the acquired credits and enroll in Berklee as a fifth (out of eight) semester student for a bachelor of music degree or for a professional diploma. Philippos Nakas Conservatory is using the same methodology and course materials as provided by the curriculum articulation agreement. Students who seek to transfer to Berklee can apply for a scholarship at Berklee's annual auditions and interview program in Athens.
Faculty and Students
With 232 faculty members and 2,800 students, Philippos Nakas Conservatory is the largest conservatory in Greece. The most important jazz performers in the Greek music scene, including many Berklee alumni, staff its contemporary jazz department. Their skills, talents, and dedication are the cornerstone of the learning experience for PNC students.
An organizer of national and international competitions, master classes and workshops with visiting professors and artists, the conservatory produces more than 300 cultural events annually in the central school and its subsidiaries. It is the organizer of the Band Festival, which, since 2003, has been an important event for bands composing their own music.
