On Friday, September 12, 2014, 60 years of television had passed by, since "Lassie's"
first debut episode. The show was simple, meaningful and encompassed all areas of
rural living, (1954 – 1973). When they list the 'longest lasting television series,' they
place this show close to top of the list.
The years I remember the show, "Lassie," best had June Lockhart as portraying my
favorite mother of all time. The father was genuinely well-acted by Hugh Reilly and
my favorite little boy, "Timmy," was played by Jon Provost.
Although the leading "human" roles changed over the years, there was always the
faithful dog, "Lassie." (Many dogs played this role, of course, through the years.) I
enjoyed the various transitions of "Lassie," having family values and including life
Fast forward to September and October, 2014 for the New Fall, 2014 television
It would be nearly impossible to picture most of the newest additions to our current
television programming to last ten years, let alone 19 years.
The "CSI" and "NCIS" shows are still going strong and on this Fall's t.v. line-up.
I am going to miss having the original show, "CSI," with its location of Las Vegas,
when it moves to its new Sunday evening slot. Sunday is my favorite 'catch up' night,
with PBS, Hallmark and I still am a big fan of "Once Upon A Time" and "Revenge."
The new Fall line up is already getting over-crowded on my own Sunday night.
I was talking to a good friend who thinks some of the shows sound "silly" and was
pointing out a Columbus Dispatch critic thought Debra Messing would be hard to
imagine being a cop, in the new show called, ""Mysteries of Laura."
Since I would first respond, I love the silly show, "Mike and Molly." I may be quite
blasphemous to say that "Mike" would NEVER make it on a real police force, due
to his large size…
Criticism from someone who loves all kinds of wild SyFy shows like, "Haven" and
"Eureka," and on regular network t.v., "Under the Dome," should be wondering
about their own ways they stretch their imagination! I am laughing with you; not
at you, my friend!
Can you suspend your sense of disbelief and let your imagination go?
I remember the funny ways we learned, as children to open our 'escape hatches'
and step into the Lands of Wonderment.
I shall try all the shows with female-driven plot lines. They have had 'good fortune'
in the past. Imagine "The Good Wife" not being on, not receiving another round of
Emmy Award nominations. I think it is nice to see women in professional situations,
not wearing an 'apron' and carrying out the character of a 'housewife and mother.'
This is not to say that I don't enjoy programs that have women who have chosen to
stay at home to do
this very important job and having this be part of the plot line, too. Choices are what
makes this a different world from the Fifties and Sixties' television programming.
"We've Come a Long Way, Baby!"
I like the characters in this sweet little show about a single mother with a son, you may
recognize him from big screen movies, I "About a Boy." I am sadly not pleased with
where they tucked this show into a 9:30 time slot. It is 'not cute' but original and quirky.
We, if you are a viewer, are 'rooting' for the handsome neighbor man to become the single
mother's date. Although it is about a boy, it is definitely about the mother, too. Having
raised 3 children on my own, I am particularly happy to watch this one. I also like the
upcoming role of Katherine Heigl getting another chance on television in "State of
Affairs." While Katherine Heigl left "Grey's Anatomy," definitely getting better comedic
roles in movies, she is still sorely missed as the character of "Izzy," on that show. I am
looking forward to seeing her as a CIA agent. She was funny in "One for the Money," a
movie based on the hilarious antics of a bondswoman in more than 20 books by Janet
If you liked Tea Leoni's funny past roles you may have seen her show her acting chops
in serious dramas, too. We will see which direction she heads in, "Madame Secretary."
She was one of the wackiest women on television for 2 years in a show called, "The Naked
I have read a decent review of "Red Band Society." It is not a "Breakfast Club," nor
is it one that will be all laughs, but will tackle diseases and illnesses with a touch of
humor and give it an uplifting spin. It is a group of young people who are ones who
have hospital experiences, who are dealing with personal challenges. I picture it more
like the movie, "Stand By Me," in its tone and togetherness. It is about a 'band
of young misfits.'
Critics are harsh when it comes to some and not so much with others. I remember
when I discovered, "How I Met Your Mother." It was before the critics endorsed it,
awhile back. I am sad how they chose to end it, with the death of the mother but
happy the main gal, Robin, got her 'man.'
The serious shows genre are tougher to predict. I would imagine Scott Backula will
knock the New Orleans' version of "NCIS" out of the park. I happen to have liked his
'goofy' portrayal of character in "Quantum Leap." I am not sure about, "Stalkers," but
will support Dylan McDermott, since he is still okay after all these years since his role
as a non-supportive 'husband' for Julia Robert's dying 'wife' role in "Steel Magnolias."
Another serious plot line can be found in "Gracepoint." (Not to be confused with the
CIA/FBI show about the safe house, "Graceland.") David Tennant, from the British
show, "Broadchurch,"and Anna Gunn are two strong actors that will head up the
already critically-acclaimed and well-promoted television show. This show is set in a
fictional California coastal community.
I think that the "Forever" show that is listed on two consecutive days, for its kick-off
first two episodes sounds good. Sadly, I lost "Journeyman" and also another traveling
through time show just in the past two years. I will hope this one 'sticks' because I like
the concept. I used to enjoy "Time Tunnel" on television and "Back to the Future," on
the movie screen.
I have been a fan of Josh Dushamel ever since the show, "Vegas." I have enjoyed his
forte into romantic comedies, too. The actor, Dushamel will be on a new show called,
"Battle Creek," This will be loosely based on likely crimes to be found in Battle Creek,
Michigan. His co-star/partner will be that of Dean Winters. You will recognize him,
but not necessarily 'place' him. I will check this one out simply because I love crime-
solving television series.
I will return to comedies. This is what a good friend in Lancaster, Ohio mentioned
when we turned 50: "Try to laugh more, watch comedies!"
I came up with a slogan, which I will hope no one else has coined:
"Humor is found in the 'ear' of the listener."
("Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.")
So, if you liked "My Favorite Martian" did you ever try 2 seasons of "Neighbors?"
I think not, since it did not make it. This was clever, witty writing with four likable
adults, along with poking fun at Suburbia. I will miss this, unless it is on a later
schedule, it did not make the 'cut.'
If you liked "Scrubs," you probably followed the guy who was the janitor on over
into "The Middle," who became the ever patient, sometimes 'clueless' Dad in this
sit-com. This also includes Patricia Heaton, who played the Mom/wife roles in
"Everyone Loves Raymond."
If you liked "Taxi," "Barney Miller" and "Psych," you may have discovered last year's
Emmy-awarding comedy, "Brooklyn 9-9." Hilarious, quirky and goofy at times, but
watch out, you may laugh out loud anyway.
I am wishing that Nielson's Rating chart were in my mailbox, because I had such a
lovely time about eight years ago, studying and analyzing the television Fall Season
Line-ups back then. The first time I had the full control of a remote control. I wrote
some comprehensive and profuse notes for those receiving my multiple page Nielson
Ratings Report. I am not a paid writer nor do I write for a newspaper. I was able to
honestly say this, it was all for the love of television and the future of programming
that I was inspired to carry out my 'duties' in this report.
My final thoughts on the Progress television has made since "Lassie" was on.
You are invited to 'debate' these comments, too. I love a good and lively discussion!
I personally feel current shows embrace more ethnicities, culture and show characters
with wider world views in our programming. They encompasses much more 'diversity'
on television since my childhood days. This means the people who are represented
are not stereotyped as much, anymore.
I like that there are two children with special needs included in some popular shows.
I recommend, "Parenthood," and if you have never seen this, start by watching the
first shows. It is cool to watch this fine young actor, "grow up" with two caring
'parents' who disagree about how to handle him, along with a supportive 'family.'
I am not sure how they would 'label' the character, "Brick," in the show "The Middle,"
but the family accepts him just as he is.
I feel the shows today give better examples of the way families really act, showing
varied relationships, how to handle or not able handle serious and controversial
subjects such as addictions, challenges and sexual orientations.
We have heroes and villains. The same as in the past, sometimes more graphically
(and honestly presented.)
World conflicts and images are horrifying. We cannot ignore what is going on, bury
our head in the sand. Powerful, and yet maddening, events are daily depicted (some
consider, 'bombarded') on our television sets.
We are urged to 'act' and 'choose' which side of the dilemmas we will take, as a nation
and other countries must, too.
Along with this serious, somewhat negative impact of television's immediacy to
situations, we have positives.
We have the opportunity to watch the Olympics, sporting events and international
specials, shown across the world. My coworkers and friends from the Philippines
were captivated by Pope Francis being chosen to be the Roman Catholic Pope.
Other friends were entranced by the wedding of Prince Charles to Diana. Then,
many followed the tragic ending to Lady Diana's life. They were hopeful for the
more recent wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton. The baby's birth and
now, the next one on its way, are subjects that many feel are happy bits of news.
History, social studies, geography and science are subjects of programs, for
everyone to learn about, grow to enjoy and get more educated. There are so
many fascinating shows to watch. Nature, musical and art works may never be viewed
or listened to, first hand. Other countries and animals, places that may not be within
everyone's budget or ability to travel.
Some people are not necessarily able to buy or read the newspaper. They find out
information about the world they live in, from the television news shows.
Hurray For National Geographic, Travel Channel, PBS, Weather Channel and
other quality network programming!
We have real and make-believe images still, with our magic carpet rides taking off,
from our own homes.
There are subjects and shows I may never care to watch. I embrace and support
those who like QVC shopping, cooking shows, reality shows and true dramas,
because they are part of the wide community of television watchers.
Many of the shows I choose to watch, you may not want to watch. I got hooked on a
soap opera, during our second break at work. For the past six years, I am 'guilty' of
watching, "The Bold and the Beautiful."
All the years I stayed home and babysat, I did not watch any soap operas. I did in
college, much to the chagrin of my parents, when I mentioned I was scheduling my
courses around a couple of soap operas!
I was listening, the first year of American Idol, to all the animated conversations in
the teachers' break room. They were talking about the 'bad' try-outs and the odd
characters. It was in the very beginning of the national search for those who would
make it to "Hollywood." This caught my attention and I am so glad that I started
watching it. I can say, "I remember when I first heard Carrie Underwood's fantastic
voice, was medium built and had frizzy hair!" Along with several well-known singers
who made it to the Top Ten or higher.
I am grateful that I don't have to sit on a sofa and listen to radio to imagine the
great radio characters of the "Green Hornet," "Gracie Allen and George Burns,"
or how the President of the United States looks like as he is speaking. I enjoy
hearing my Mom's excitement when she heard about Amelia Earhart's trans-
Atlantic plane trip and her memories of the "Fireside Chats," with President
Roosevelt, though.
I liked how we used to watch to find out if we had school on Snow Days. Later,
if our children or grandchildren have school cancelled. I enjoy watching to see
how 'my' candidates or 'my' issues are doing, as the voting polls report in their
I am saddened that there are blind people who cannot see, but grateful for the
inventions of special devices and increased equipment due to new technology
allowing them 'to see' the shows. The descriptions of the setting, characters and
other visual 'clues' are given. I have read about these and think the inventors are
brilliant for creating and providing this service. There are new creations in hearing-
impaired equipment, too.
Many people cannot afford to go to the movies or take a vacation with their families.
They may not go to Broadway but on PBS, they can see a Broadway play or musical.
They get their main form of entertainment from television.
There are others, lying on their back sometimes, healing from surgery or permanent
disabilities. My Dad liked to watch the comedies, while getting his chemo treatments.
Laughing made him feel so much better on those days he was nauseous.
The elderly in the nursing home I worked at for 4 1/2 years, liked to watch the shows
on TV Land, old reruns of "Lawrence Welk" and "Bonanza," along with their church
programming on Sunday mornings. The beauty of fireworks in our country and
celebrations around the world, brought big smiles to their faces. They enjoyed, as
I still do, the lovely creations in the Tournament of Roses Parade.
We get a sense of conscience from our 'small screens.' The night I watched, "Stand
Up 2 Cancer" impacted me, along with millions of other people watching. It moved
us to donate to some form of Cancer (Society) fund-raising, including Hospice Care,
research and local hospitals.
Remember "One Small Step for Mankind?" We now look forward to continued
space travel, inventions and research. When we hear of satellites making it to
Mars or other planets this gives us information that we may use in the future.
A quote about freedom from H.L. Mencken, American author and journalist
"We must be willing to pay a price for freedom,
for no price that is ever asked for it,
is half the cost of doing without it."
My soap box, put away for now. . .
What do you watch?
Have you heard about any new t.v. show compelling you
to 'set your DVR'?

Big Second Half Leads Liberty Past VCU, 5-2
After being held scoreless in the first half, the Liberty Lady Flames field hockey team erupted for five goals in the second stanza to defeat the VCU Rams, 5-2, on Sunday afternoon at Cary Street Field. The victory ends Liberty's two game winless drought and improves its record to 3-2 overall on the season, while VCU falls to 2-3.
Natalie Barr paced the Lady Flames with a pair of goals and an assist. Ashlee Krulock, Erin Dombach and Mercedes Cox also scored for Liberty.
The Lady Flames controlled the tempo of the game throughout the majority of the first half. Liberty's back line of Megan Johnson, Hannah Jones, Helen Doolittle and Serena Barr held VCU to just one shot during the first 34 minutes of the contest.
Liberty had several scoring opportunities in the opening stanza, recording five shots, but was unable to put the ball into the goal. Rams goalkeeper Kendall Clifton turned away three first-half shots to keep the Lady Flames scoreless in the opening frame.
VCU broke the scoreless tie in the final minute of the first half. Off of their second consecutive penalty corner opportunity, the Rams' Kendell Combs flicked the ball past a diving Ann Jefferis to put the home team on top 1-0 heading into the halftime break. Stephanie Demasi and Erika Bienlien were credited with the assists on the play.
Liberty came into the second half with renewed energy and it showed in the opening minutes of the final stanza. The Lady Flames forced four consecutive penalty corners beginning at the 29:34 mark. On the fourth attempt, Natalie Barr struck a low line drive toward the cage. Ashlee Krulock reached out her stick and redirected the ball past Rams' Clifton, knotting the score at one apiece. It was Krulock's team-leading fourth marker of the season.
Liberty's offense didn't let up, coming back with the go-ahead goal a mere 55 seconds after tying the score. Barr dribbled into the top right side of the VCU circle. The sophomore spun back toward the cage and ripped a reverse shot over the outstretched stick of Clifton into the top right corner of the goal, giving the Lady Flames a lead they would not relinquish.
The offensive outburst continued in the 49th minute for Liberty. Micailah Sloman sent a crossing pass from the left side of the circle in the direction of Dombach. The Lancaster, Pa., native received the pass and buried into the back of the cage for her first career score and a 3-1 Lady Flames advantage.
After VCU's Emilie Soares scored to pull the Rams to within one, Liberty upped its lead back to two goals in the contest's 65th minute. On the Lady Flames' sixth penalty corner of the half, Natalie Barr blasted a one-timer from the top of the circle past a diving Clifton into the bottom-left corner of the cage. Hannah Jones and Bethany Barr assisted on the play to give the Lady Flames the 4-2 lead.
Mercedes Cox capped the day's scoring for Liberty with under two minutes remaining. Hannah Goldsborough deflected a long pass from Micailah Sloman right to the waiting Cox. The junior knocked the ball into the cage, sealing the 5-2 victory for the Lady Flames.
For the contest, Liberty controlled the advantage in both shots, 14-8, and penalty corners, 7-3. In goal, the Lady Flames' Jefferis recorded three saves, while the Rams' Clifton notched four stops in the defeat.
Liberty continues its six-game road swing on Friday at Monmouth. Game time against the Hawks is scheduled for 3 p.m.
For a more in-depth look at the Lady Flames' field hockey program, including postgame interviews and video packages, follow the team on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

totesport League Division One
May 2
Glamorgan Dragons 204-4
Notts Outlaws 217-8 (Hussey 68, Read 47, Patel 40*)
Glamorgan Dragons won by four runs
Read?s 99-run partnership with David Hussey had given us a faint chance of recovering from 52-4 but despite two sixes in the final over from Samit Patel we finished up four runs short of the revised target.
But Read is confident we can turn things around and said: ?Partnerships are often the key to winning one-day matches and David and myself nearly proved the point today.
?We were in trouble with the loss of the top order but if I?m honest the two of us are bitterly disappointed not to have won the game.
?If we had both managed to stay in for another five overs we might have tipped the balance. As it was, the boys never gave up and Samit, Gareth Clough and Ryan Sidebottom showed the determination that exists in the dressing room.
?If you ignore our first match against Middlesex Crusaders, when we were all played poorly, we have been in with a shout of winning both games this weekend.
?Batting is our strength and if we can build more partnerships we will come good very soon.?
Needing 24 off the final over bowled by Darren Thomas and 22 off the last four balls, 20-year-old Patel smashed a four and two maximums but could only manage one off the final delivery.
It left us four runs short of the revised target of 222 to win after a heavy rain shower reduced the match to 28 overs a side.
Hussey and Read just kept us in the hunt despite losing our first four wickets cheaply but when Read, Mark Ealham and Hussey fell in successive overs the situation proved impossible even for Patel.

Topic: Charlie's latest - RFA
Dr. was able to burn 1 tumor with RFA while Charlie was under sedation yesterday in the hospital. CT scan that's used to guide the RFA showed "suspicious" lesions in the liver. Got MRI last night and dr. confirmed his suspicions that there are a few new tumors in the liver and one has doubled in size since Feb. MRI. Charlie said he feels worse emotionally than he did last year when he first found out he had cancer - like it's starting all over again, only worse. After much chemo, radiation, chemoembolization and resection, now this. It's just not fair for any of us touched by this. On this site, I've heard some people say it's slow growing and some say it's aggressive. I thought it was interesting what the Dr. said. He said it's sneaky and can be quiet for a while and then all of a sudden, it just seems to burst into an aggressive phase and that's what he thinks Charlie's has done. Dr. said tumors aren't candidates for RFA again because of being in the "resection bed" and so close to the bowel and also their size. Charlie really doesn't want to do any more chemo, but he said he would try it. Meeting with oncologist soon to see what kind of chemo and going to try theraspheres. The doctor said he knew BCross would deny it, but then he can talk to them and try to get them to approve it. I think Charlie has to heal for a few weeks before this can be tried. We've tried about everything. I pray Charlie can hang on longer. We're not ready to let him go. He had been feeling so good. It's just hard to understand. Love and best wishes to all here. We're still fighting!

Many moons ago, kmvet posted the concept of making an ordinary chicken leg into a "chicken lollipop"...
French cutting the chicken legs is really easy to do, and not too time consuming. Makes for a great presentation, and I think you can achieve more even cooking with this technique as well. And I've found that the marinade sinks in deeper as well.
Gave these legs a sweet rub, and also marinated them in some Lawry's Hawaiian Marinade and Pineapple Juice.
Grilled them up indirect at around 375 deg f until they were done. We weren't feeling a smoky flavor, so I just used regular ol' lump charcoal with no wood for smoke.
I wrapped the exposed bones a few minutes into the cook to prevent them from burning.
Pretty dang good.

Superior Court Judge Frank Newkirk issued a sentence last week in the case of Stephanie Atkins. Newkirk issued the guily verdict on Sept. 12. According to Washington County Prosecutor Dustin Houchin, Atkins was sentenced to four years, with two years suspended. Atkins will serve two years and the judge allowed her to have work release in Clark County. "I respect the judges decision and I hope it helps deter this kind of behavior," Houchin said. The conviction stems from the theft of funds from the Beech Grove Cemetery Association in Washington County.The investigation revealed from December of 2005 up until March of 2010, Atkins, who was in charge of the association's finances, allegedly wrote checks on the cemetery association for more than $25,000 for her own personal gain. During this same time period Atkins had allegedly provided financial reports to the Beech Grove Cemetery Association that were false, showing more money in the bank account than was actually there. During that time Atkins also ran the Washington County Christmas Assistance Program. Houchin said after looking into that fund, he doesn't suspect any wrong doing.
The Salem Middle School and West Washington Junior High School seventh and eighth-grade teams played one another on Sept. 28.

Hi All can anyone help me with this problem. Is it possible to use the form method as "Post" and avoiding the message "Webpage has expired". Actually after a search a list of records appear. And user clicks on any link in the list and the website takes him to the next page when he clicks browser back button , the page is loaded with this message "Webpage has expired". I know this can be avoided with Get method. But is it possible with Post method. Thanks in Advance.
Remove the <meta> cache line that'd be present in between the <head></head> tags..
Dear Srirangan thank you for your quick reply but there is only one meta tag between my <head> tag that does not contain any information regarding cache. So removing it will not solve my problem. It contains charset info. Any other idea. Anyhow thank you for your reply.

xlaawan: maybe this article can help you.
Dear dbevfat I saw this article some times ago but at that time I could not get too much out of it. But this time I got an idea from this article. So I used a mid-page between two pages and redirected the page to the end one and it solved my problem. Thank you very much for this help. Sometimes we ignored many things but actually they can work for us if we try to understand them. I will also make a comment over there in the article. Thanks again. See u in any other post. God Bless You. Have a nice Time.
I'm glad I could help.
Sorry to resurrect this one and I hope I'm not being too simplistic here, but I got round this problem by providing the user with their very own 'Back' button, which POSTs all the required data back to the form page.
Works a treat.
The best thing to do, would probably be to redirect after POST:
headerl('location: original_form.php');
That way the user is provided with a GET page, and if they hit back, they go back to the original GET without resubmitting or expiration.
Also- POST should generally be used when you're writing to the database, or making some other change-- you should normally use GET when retrieving a list of records.
hi, In my case we are working with classic asp application.
In my page we use post method and back button.we also used back button to maintain History b/w postback to same page.
I get Page Expired and need to refresh page.
Please help me to solve this problem.!

Terence and Sarah
Terence and Sarah have been dating for almost a year, but they couldn't be more different.
Sarah has an MBA from Wharton and is often the only woman in meetings during her long days working on Wall Street, while Terence sells real estate to pay the bills and satisfies his true passion by coaching runners.
Sarah claims that the biggest difference between the two is that she is lower maintenance and Terence is more emotional. However, she believes they share a competitive spirit and theyre smart, energetic, adventurous as well as fearless.
Terence describes himself as witty, sensitive and driven. One of his proudest accomplishments is finishing the last two New York City Marathons in under three hours.
This Team is determined to prove to themselves whether they belong together while on the Race. They hope that being well-traveled, physically fit, and highly competitive will help them win the $1 million. They think their biggest weakness could be the tendency to become too intense, fighting amongst themselves, or their dietary restrictions. Regardless of whether they win or not, this adventure will definitely be a journey that could make or break them.

At some point, you've probably hit a bug that you can only reproduce on a remote machine (perhaps a testing/staging or production server). Here are some simple instructions on how to debug your SWF remotely:
- Open the Debug Configurations dialog. In the toolbar, click the Debug button and choose Other…. From the menu, choose Run > Debug > Other…
- Create a new Debug Configuration for your project. Click the new icon in the top left. Choose your project and the application MXML or ActionScript file.
- Specify the URL of your SWF or HTML file. Uncheck "Use Default" under "URL or path to launch". Enter your URL.
- Debug
You can still use all the debug features you would normally use locally. A great trick to demo here is using conditional breakpoints to modify your application at runtime:
- Create a breakpoint
- Right click on the breakpoint, select Breakpoint Properties
- Check enable condition
- Enter a valid expression, e.g. this.mySprite.rotationZ += 10
- End the expression with: ", false"
Normally you would use conditional breakpoints to suspend when a condition is true. The trick here is that evaluating an expression can have intended/unintended side effects. In this case, we can string together a comma-separated list of expressions and never suspend the application since the expression will always return false.Share on Facebook

Half TruthfulLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Three Paley brothers and three Thomson brothers operate a company that manufactures lie detectors. Three of these six men always tell the truth, and three always tell lies; neither set of brothers consists exclusively of liars. Some recent statements from the six men are recorded below. Can you find the six men's full names, and tell which men tell the truth and which tell lies?
1. Alan: "Both my brothers tell lies."
2. Boris: "Both my brothers tell the truth."
3: Chuck: "Alan and Boris are both liars."
4. Dalman: "Chuck and I are brothers."
5. Edwin: "Boris and I are brothers."
6. Finney: "Edwin tells the truth."
7. Finney: "Boris is one of the Paleys."
AnswerAlan Thompson, Liar
Boris Paley, liar
Chuck Thomson, truthteller
Dalman Paley, liar
Edwin Paley, truthteller
Finney Thomson, truthteller
Neither set of brothers consists entirely of liars (introduction), so neither consists entirely of truthtellers, either. Boris, then, can't be telling the truth (clue 2); Boris is a liar. If Alan lies, then Chuck tells the truth (clue 3), and vice versa, so between Alan and Chuck, one is a liar and one a truthteller. By elimination, Dalman, Edwin, and Finney are, in some order, one liar and two truthtellers. If Finney is a liar, so is Edwin (clue 6), which is impossible; so Finney tells the truth and so does Edwin (Clue 6); Dalman, then, is a liar. Boris is a Paley (clue 7). Edwin is a Paley (clue 5). Chuck and Dalman are not brothers (clue 4), so one is a Paley and the other a Thomson; by elimination, Alan and Finney are both Thomsons. Finney Thomson tells the truth, so Alan Thomson is a liar (clue 1) and Chuck is a truthteller (clue 3). Boris Paley lied when he said both of his brothers tell the truth (clue 2); one of his brothers is Edwin Paley, a truthteller, so the other must be a liar - and therefore the third Paley can't be Chuck, a truthteller, so must be Dalman, a liar. By elimination, Chuck is a Thompson.

Aqua Lather Gel
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — October 2002
Sunning yourself in the cockpit and taking a dip in the ocean are just part of a great day on the water. And when the day is done, it's time to hit the shower and get rid of that salty feeling on your skin.
Aqua Lather from California-based Davis Instruments is a low-cost ($4.95 suggested retail for a five-ounce bottle), biodegradable gel that is geared for use to both clean your skin and act as a shampoo. The company claims that Aqua Lather can even be used to wash dishes and clothes. Although Davis is not handing out the secret ingredients, it does claim that the gel easily handles the effects of salt, hard, brackish, and chlorinated waters.
The Aqua Lather gel is available directly from Davis Instruments through its Web site.

David Arias, doctoral student in philosophy, passed the defense of his dissertation titled "Rediscovering the Principles of Nature: An Explication of St. Thomas Aquinas's Hylomorphic Doctrine and a Defense of this Doctrine Against Some Ancient and Modern Objections," on Aug. 13.
As a student in the Center for Thomistic Studies, Arias' public defense focused on the principal thesis question, "What are the most fundamental principles and causes from which natural substances, such as men, horses and oak trees, come to be and are?" Arias said with his thesis he attempted to show that St. Thomas Aquinas' answer was true.
"Based on his understanding of Aristotle's works, St. Thomas maintains that the natural substances in the world around us come to be from first matter, substantial form and the privation of substantial form," Arias said. "In addition to explicating St. Thomas' teaching on this matter, I attempted to address various objections made against this doctrine, both by the ancients and contemporary scholars."
As part of his defense, Arias answered two rounds questions from the examiners, Chair Dr. James Clarage, physics assistant professor, Director Dr. John Knasas, philosophy professor, Reader Dr. John Hittinger, philosophy professor, Reader Dr. John Deely, philosophy professor, Reader Dr. Thomas Osborne, associate professor in the Center and External Reader Dr. Steven Baldner, philosophy professor at St. Francis Xavier University.
Arias plans to continue teaching at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, Calif. The College is a small, private, Catholic liberal arts college, where students study the original works of the world's best authors. Arias received his master's in philosophy in from UST in 2003. He and his wife, Jennaya, have eight children, seven boys and one girl.

|Well, I like to kick people's butts.
|— Flatts the Flounder, "The Bully"
Flatts the Flounder is a funniest flounder who first appears as a cameo in "Sandy's Rocket", where he was one of SpongeBob's "alien hunting" victims. He also makes another minor appearance in "Texas", where he attended Sandy's Texas party. His only major appearance, however was in "The Bully", joins Mrs. Puff's boating school and wants to "kick SpongeBob's butt." SpongeBob takes this extremely seriously, reacting as if he were going to actually kill him. He makes many attempts to reason with and/or escape him, but to no avail. He even calls Patrick to protect him, only to find out that Flatts is with him and that they were community college buddies. He also tries to go to Mrs. Puff to help, who talks to Flatts (much to SpongeBob's dismay) and explains to SpongeBob that "kicking his butt" means that Flatts wants to become his friend (this is obviously not true).
Flatts goes so far as to chase SpongeBob out of school into town, even trying to run him over with a garbage truck. However, the garbage truck slips on a banana peel and flips over, critically injuring Flatts. He wakes up in the hospital and learns that SpongeBob saved his life through CPR, yet he still wants to kick his butt. Eventually, Flatts corners SpongeBob in his own home, and proceeds to "kick his butt" by repeatedly hitting him. However, SpongeBob discovers that his spongy body simply absorbs the blows and does not hurt him at all.
Flatts continues to hit SpongeBob throughout the whole week until he finally passes out from exhaustion one morning at boating school. He is voiced by Thomas F. Wilson.
So far, Flatts has never appeared on any more SpongeBob SquarePants episode after "The Bully".
[1]Added by Vastscatman[2]Added by VastscatmanFlatts' body is shown to be somewhat two-dimensional, hence his name.
Flats continues to hit SpongeBob throughout the whole week until he finally passes out from exhaustion one morning at boating school. He is voiced by Thomas F. Wilson.
In the ending credits of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Flatts makes a cameo appearance along with other Bikini Bottomities.
Flats' body is shown to be somewhat two-dimensional, hence his name.
Trivia Edit Edit
- Flatts has never appeared in any season outside of the Hillenburg Era (1999–2004). However, he also has not appeared in the second season.
- Flatts is based on the flounder, a species of flatfish which has both eyes on one half of its body.
- Flatts' name could be a pun on Fats Domino or Rascal Flatts.
- The TV closed-captions misspelled Flatts as "Flats."
- It is unknown why Flatts needed to attend a Boating School in the first place, as he was clearly seen driving the garbage truck.
- Flatts' catchphrase is "I'm gonna kick your butt!"
- Even after being saved by SpongeBob he still wants to kick his butt.
- Oddly he even would threaten his dad about kicking his butt just as he did to SpongeBob.
- Flatts has never talked in Season 1.
References Edit Edit

TOLLS at the Dartford Crossing are set to rise to £2.50 per journey.
Following the Chancellor's Comprehensive Spending Review, it emerged the tolls will rise to £2 next year and then up to £2.50 per crossing in 2012.
The controversial announcements will affect the thousands of motorists and businesses which use the Dartford Crossing daily.
A statement from the Treasury said: "The department and the Highways Agency are developing options to improve the crossing for motorists including: exploring a new additional crossing; using free flow charging to improve efficiency; and removing charges to aid flow when congestion is most severe.
"The increased charges will be used to fund this work."

Today the Kiwi Project was officially unveiled :
With the rising interest in AJAX and RIAs, it became important for us to understand how to empower our Flex environment to create read/write web applications. This means developing Flex components that understand specific Web 2.0 technologies such as RSS, blogging, tagging, and microformats. And with hints of Apollo emerging, this means understanding how to build Flex components that work both in the browser and on the desktop.
Our first proof-of-concept, called NoteTag, was just released on Adobe Labs, and you can read more about NoteTag on the Kiwi Project blog.

Fuel Proof
Compact and easy to install, this low-cost fuel-tank alarm system can save you big bucks by preventing spills.
By Capt. Ken Kreisler — April 2004
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits any discharge that causes a film or discoloration on the surface of any navigable waterway in the United States. Period. Violators are subject to substantial penalties, including imprisonment.
Chances are you're familiar with these regulations. That's because all boats sold in the United States are required to display a 5"x8" placard "in a conspicuous place in the machinery spaces or at the bilge-pump control station." And while these laws pertain principally to the discharge of heavier oils, they also apply to fuel spills.
But even the most careful skipper, owner, or attendant can make a mistake while fueling up, so it's wise to have a procedure in place that eliminates fuel spills. Just ask Dan Sabatino, the designer of FuelSense, a fuel-tank alarm system, who I ran into at last year's Norwalk Boat Show in Connecticut.
Sabatino is an avid boater who has been manufacturing gauging, inspection, and measuring systems, as well as custom electronic instruments, for the past 30 years. "I've been tinkering around moving things since I was a boy," he explains, adding that he particularly liked to take apart the family clocks and radios. When it came time for him to choose a career, he naturally went to electronics school but kept alive his love of mechanical things by working on car engines and transmissions in his spare time. Over the years he developed patented fuel-flow gear for commercial vessels as well as other kinds of sensor systems. His FuelSense alarm system is an outgrowth of that experience.
Using a series of magnetic sensor switches tied into an audible alarm, the system will prevent fuel from spilling out of the fuel-tank vent. Once the fuel reaches the sensor, the owner can safely add a set number of gallons without losing fuel over the side. Sabatino made sure he designed the system for simplicity, and to that end there are but three components: a control box, a stainless steel sensor housing, and a magnetic sensor switch strip.
FuelSense can be installed when your boat is in or out of the water and works with multiple tanks. In addition, it is compatible with most tank-gauging systems. An optional low-fuel alarm is also available. As you can see in the accompanying photos, installation is quick and easy.
The sensor strip sits in the housing about an inch off the tank bottom. (The housing is custom-fit to each tank.) As the tank fills, the magnetic float collar rises up through the housing, passing the magnetic switches in the strip. When it reaches the preset level at 95 percent full, the alarm will sound, indicating you are approaching a full tank.
There are no moving parts to wear out like there are in conventional float systems. You can mount the control box, made of ABS plastic and waterproof, anywhere—at the helm or near the fueling site. "I mounted a box under the gunwale on a 38-foot Phoenix because that's where the owner wanted it," Sabatino told me, adding that Post, Cavileer, Silverton, Formula, and Carver are currently offering FuelSense with new builds. Retail cost for one system is about $350. Each tank requires its own system.
Once FuelSense is installed, the only part that may need servicing is the sensor strip. Sabatino says that if something goes wrong with the strip, you'll notice an erratic fuel-gauge needle. "If this happens, we can send out another unit by part number to the customer, who merely has to screw it in and wire up two wires," he explains.
With this kind of fuel alarm installed aboard your boat, you just might avoid garnering your marina's Joe Hazelwood Award. Named for the captain of the Exxon Valdez, it's the kind of disparaging accolade none of us needs and which can end up costing us a lot of money.

Hey! It's neat to know somebody else has experience with at least hearing Hungarian. It is so lovely to listen to and often to speak, fun to learn, and as my mother-in-law has pointed out, it's perfect for poetry - words can be placed in almost any order in a sentence, allowing for really lyrical rhythms and rhymes.

You could download the .deb file of it and install it via dpkg -i .
Also BT is not a distro for everyday's use (if you are not a pentester ) Or just try to experiment a bit for yourself. The worst thing to happen is that you have to reinstall it.
Or you could run it from a live cd, try to add the repos and then do it on your live system. Also I'd not recommend necessarily to add the Buntu repos since they might mess up something.

Recently, I received a call from my soon-to-be married friend, Janelle. After years of bad mistakes, Janelle was finally getting hitched, and to a really good guy. I had already agreed to be one of her bridesmaids and now it was time to go try on the infamous dresses. Janelle promised, "Mimi swore she would find a pattern that will look good on everyone, and it won't be in peach or mauve or hot pink."

"I like hot pink," I pout, but I am glad to hear that our wonderfully hip, fashion designer friend, Mimi, is behind the dress. Two days later, we all show up at her studio to get measured. As we each stripped down, we began to talk about all the romantic mistakes we have made along the way. I've dated everything from a guy who was addicted to porn to a man who was in line to be a prince, so I have screwed up both in getting the guy, and in letting him go. My friends have all had their own, "uh-oh" moments on the road to the ones they are now with, and as we get our measurements, they begin to dish.

The Crap We Missed – Friday 5.18.12
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed where we see Lena Dunhan, self-proclaimed "voice of her generation," and that voice apparently says, "You know what? I earned these chili fries…." We've also got Joshua Jackson letting us all know it's ok to just stare directly at them, or desperately search for them in the case of Jada Pinkett Smith. And finally there's the Richard Dean Anderson pic that saddens me to even include it, knowing that I'm essentially tossing a beloved character from my childhood to the internet wolves.

LEEDS United president Massimo Cellino has confirmed that former Forest Green boss David Hockaday will remain as first-team coach.
Hockaday had been on the verge of losing his job after Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Watford in the Championship.
Cellino told the Yorkshire Post: "Yes, I decided to sack him. I said 'he's finished.' But I learned a long time ago to wait on a decision for 24 hours.
"If I fire the coach I should fire myself because I haven't signed enough good players. How can that be his fault."

PARENTS of children with special needs have raised concerns about plans to change how the service is provided.
Dorset County Council, which is responsible for education, is overhauling how it caters for youngsters with special edu-cational needs.
The proposals include plans to identify four hubs around Dorset made up of an existing special school and at least one nearby mainstream school.
Any existing mainstream schools which currently offer special provision would be converted into part of one of the new hubs, or phased out.
But in a consultation, some parents hit out at what they consider a 'cost-saving exercise'.
A report to the county council's Children's Services Overview Committee at County Hall in Dorchester stated that 73 per cent of respondents – 21 people – saw the move as a 'positive way forward'.
Presenting the report to councillors, Lyn Frith said although only 21 people responded to this direct question about how far they agreed with the overall principles of the proposals, the consultation process had included a greater number of parents and professionals.
The report states: "Some respondents felt they could not give an informed perspective until we had further consulted on the actual model that was intended for implementation.
"For some respondents, the proposals were seen as purely a cost savings exercise, even though it was made clear the proposals are not about reducing places but changing what it is that places provide and where they are provided."
Cllr Daryl Turner said: "My worry with consultations is that you get the vocal minority responding, whereas the maj-ority never do."
The move comes as the Children and Families Bill became law after receiving Royal Assent last week, pledging to improve support for children with special educational needs.
Cllr Mike Byatt said: "This is a move to a more localised, hub-based approach. But we need to be aware of any important issues coming out of the statutory changes."
Director for children's services Sara Tough, who prepared the report for councillors, said the changes will reduce the need for children to travel long distances because the provision they need is so far away.
But the feedback from the consultation noted that: "There was a balanced view on the need for transport, with some parents citing the need for their child to be in the right school, not simply the nearest."
Parental choice will continue to be a priority, councillors were assured, and any changes will be implemented at a 'natural transition' phase for each child, such as the end of primary school.
The changes will be introduced gradually over the next three years. Councillors at the committee noted the progress of the review.

Statement regarding RoHS-Compliance and WEEE-Directives
Basics and requirement
The RoHS- and WEEE-directives are valid in the European Community. They rule the placing on the market and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment within the EC with regard to burden.
The EC-directive 2002/95/EG on the restriction of certain substances in electrical and electronic equipment dated 27 January 2003, referred to as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), rules the concentrations of substances as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and brominated flame retardants for electrical and electronic equipment that are put into operation from the 1 July 2006 and after.
In connection with the RoHS-directive, the EC-directive 2002/96/EG dated 27 January, referred to as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), has been adopted. The priority objective of the WEEE is the avoidance and reduction of electrical and electronical equipment as well as their re-use, recycling and utilization. Stationary equipments and their components are outside the scope of EC-directive 2002/96/EG.
The regulations of the WEEE-directive are added in the Electrical and Electronical Equipment Act – "ElektroG") to German law.
Statement regarding RoHS-conformity
Our company is operating worldwide. We take the protection of the environment and of the natural resources for corporate obligation. Not least because of this background EMKA is certified to environment management standard DIN ISO 14001 for many years.
We confirm that all electronical modules and products of program 3000 meet the limits prescribed of the directives 2002/95/EG (RoHS) and 2011/65/EU (RoHSII).
Statement regarding WEEE-directive
The products offered by EMKA Beschlagteile GmbH & Co. KG are intended solely for the B2B-aera (in accordance with the WEEE-directive). They could be returned to us or could be disposed by a commercial dumping enterprise after being used. A disposal through the municipal collection system is not permitted.
In the case of return to us we ensure a professional utilization or disposal.

Governor Baldacci Writes Sebelius on Special 301
Sean Flynn
April 29, 2010
Governor Baldacci of Maine wrote to DHHS Secretary Sebelius and US Trade Representative Ron Kirk to express concerns on the use of Special 301 and US Trade policy to restrict pharmaceutical pricing programs.
The letter is available at: wcl.american.edu/pijip/go/baldacci04262010
For more information on the Special 301 Report, and how trade policy may interfere with states' efforts to control drug costs, please see the PIJIP page on Special 301: wcl.american.edu/pijip/go/301
April 26, 2010
Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary
Department of Health and Human Services
200 Independence Avenue, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20201
Dear Secretary Sebelius:
I am writing because I am concerned that the Administration is developing a trade policy that might ultimately constrain the ability of the State of Maine and the federal government to continue best practices to control pharmaceutical prices. This policy may be part of the "Special 301" report to be issued by the United States Trade Representative (USTR) by the end of this month. The USTR is not a health-regulatory authority and it has no expertise in public health matters. I hope that the USTR will reverse the previous administration's support for using trade policy to restrict governmental powers to control medicine prices, and I write to ask you to support this request and help develop a coherent administration policy that is consistent with the authority of the state and federal governments to continue pharmaceutical price-restraining policies.
Medicaid and other local programs run by the state and federal governments provide healthcare for over 40 million people. To control the costs of pharmaceuticals in these programs, some states compare the safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of new drugs to existing therapeutic alternatives and construct Preferred Drug Lists (PDLs) for preferential reimbursement. There are also federal mandates that require companies to offer their best prices to Medicaid. Similar mechanisms keep drug costs low for the Veterans Administration, Defense Department and the General Services Administration. As a result, although consumers and businesses in the U.S. generally pay the highest drug prices in the world, the prices for government-run programs in the U.S. tend to be equal to. or lower than, the prices in Canada and other wealthy countries with national health insurance.
The past administration pursued a trade policy that sought to limit the ability of foreign governments to restrain medicine prices. At the public hearing on the Special 301 report held in March 2010, government officials indicated that there has not been any policy change on this issue in President Obama's Administration, and that the Special 301 Report would continue to press countries to restrict pharmaceutical pricing programs that are substantially identical to those used by states such as Maine. Trade agreements are, of course, reciprocal by nature. The\ USTR should not promote policies abroad that it is not prepared to require at home.
As you know, the success of health reform, including the federal role in covering much of the costs of state Medicaid expansion, depends on the ability of governments to control pharmaceutical costs. An administration-wide policy to protect the right of governments to affect medicine prices is in the best interests of citizens. I urge you to work to ensure that such a policy is reflected in the Administration's trade agenda.

Salmon Shark
(Lamna ditropis)
The Alaska State Constitution establishes, as state policy, the development and use of replenishable resources, in accordance with the principle of sustained yield, for the maximum benefit of the people of the state. In order to implement this policy for the fisheries resources of the state, the Alaska Legislature created the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G).
The BOF was given the responsibility to establish regulations guiding the conservation and development of the state's fisheries resources, including the distribution of benefits among subsistence, commercial, recreational, and personal uses. The ADF&G was given the responsibility to implement the BOF's regulations and management plans through the scientific management of the state's fisheries resources. Scientific and technical advice is also provided by the ADF&G to the BOF during its rule-making process. The separation of rule-making and inseason management responsibilities between these two entities is generally regarded as contributing to the success of Alaska's fisheries management system.
The ADF&G's fishery management activities fall into two categories: inseason management and applied science. For inseason management, the department deploys a cadre of fishery managers near the fisheries. These individuals have broad authority to open and close fisheries based on their professional judgment, the most current biological data from field projects, and fishery performance.

We're teaming up with other food and garden bloggers to host Summer Fest 2010, a season-long garden party. Each week we'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. To join in, check out awaytogarden.com.
It really doesn't get much better than a summer tomato. I may be a little biased: I grew up eating tomatoes straight from the garden, warm from the sun. Since then, I've had a hard-and-fast two-tomato-a-day rule every tomato season. Sure, I love tomato salads, BLTs and simple, garlicky sauce, but this summer, my favorite way to reach my daily quota is a slice of tomato galette.
Galette is French for "free-form rustic tart," and English for "the lazy baker's pie." There's even a French children's song about the baked good that translates something like this: "I like galette, do you know how? When it is made well, with butter inside."
I like galette, too! Just roll out half of your favorite pie crust recipe (not a federal offense if you want to buy yours), layer in some fruit, veggies, herbs and maybe cheese, and fold over the edges. No latticing or fluting required.
A tomato galette is like the love child of a margherita pizza and a cheesy, savory tomato pie (like the one James Beard made famous). The crisp, buttery crust tastes like a pie, but the bubbly mozzarella cheese and roasted tomatoes on top are all pizza.
To make the galette, I layered tomatoes (I used a red and a green one from my CSA), and fresh mozzarella slices in a circle, then topped with fresh basil, red pepper flakes and some olive oil. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the crust is brown and cheese is bubbly. I used this recipe from Food Network's Pat and Gina Neely as inspiration.
Another galette bonus: You can use the other half of the dough to make a another rustic tart filled with jam, fresh fruit or, of course, more tomatoes.
What's your go-to summer tomato recipe? Join the discussion on twitter with the hashtag #summerfood.

Maison Martin Margiela Spring 2014
Bring out your old razzle-dazzle, and wear it with your trouser suit. At last! An idea from the runways you could actually imagine running off and conjuring up from your own wardrobe, with the aid of a bit of imagination and some glittery showgirl vintage things. Whoever it is behind the scenes at Maison Martin Margiela (it's an iron rule never to name the team in this place), they got it right this season. Between the well-cut tailoring and the deconstructed fragments of beading that looked as if the original owner was a high-wire act or stunt rider in the circus, it all looked just . . . cool.
There's a word we haven't heard for a long time. Cool, in the sense of being offhand and dignified and confidently original, is a term last associated with the nineties. Everything Martin Margiela did was the epitome of cool in his time, but after he left the brand, the cool flew out the window. And now it really looks like it's back.
Those inheritors of the Margiela flame are about the only people who have put forward normal pants this season, which is a strong enough plus-point, for a start. Generally, it seems to have slipped fashion's mind that women cannot live by basketball shorts and transparent skirts alone, so the burgundy tailoring with its interesting tape-tied open-back jackets had plenty of the audience sitting at attention from the outset. The cool, original Margiela generation always delighted in wearing something just a little slyly odd with their impeccably classic suiting. For spring, that kick returned, not just in the more obvious showgirl "replica" pieces, but in the glimpse of a purple ruched bra under a coat, or a lavender lame jacket layered under another "liner" coat. What with the satisfying number of cool-chic dresses on view—a pinstripe halter, a peach lingerie satin slip with an off-kilter patch of black chiffon trailing to one side, a heavily beaded gown worn over trousers—it made for a well-rounded collection that did more than just run through common trends. And that, in a season like this, was enough to make this show rather outstanding.

'Ten Thousand Saints' Author and IC Writing Professor Eleanor Henderson to Give Public Reading on Campus
ITHACA, NY — On Wednesday, Oct. 5, Ithaca College writing professor Eleanor Henderson will give the first on-campus reading since the publication of her well-reviewed debut novel, "Ten Thousand Saints." Free and open to the public, the reading will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Clark Lounge, Egbert Hall.
Moving back and forth between the gritty New York City of the 1980s and small-town Vermont, the characters in "Ten Thousand Saints" — including drug-dealing parents and "straight edge" teens — struggle to create their own identities when life around them is turned upside down. As "Publishers Weekly" describes it, "What results is an odyssey encompassing the age of CBGB, Hare Krishnas, zines and the emergence of AIDS."
Henderson spent much of the summer on a nationwide promotional tour as her novel earned glowing reviews. The "New York Times" noted that Henderson "writes the hell out of every moment," while the "Boston Globe" called it "an auspicious debut." It was given an "A" grade by "Entertainment Weekly," named one of the best books of June by Amazon.com and included on the recommended summer reading lists of the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Daily News."
"Ten Thousand Saints" will be available for purchase and signing at the reading, after which Henderson will engage in a question-and-answer session with the audience.
Henderson joined the Department of Writing in the School of Humanities and Sciences in the fall of 2010, where she teaches courses in creative and academic writing and historical fiction. She earned her B.A. in American literature/creative writing from Middlebury College and M.F.A in fiction writing from the University of Virginia.
Her short story "The Farms" was a Pushcart Prize nominee and was selected for "The Best American Short Stories 2009." She was a contributing editor at "Poets & Writers" and chair of the fiction board at "Virginia Quarterly Review."

New Opportunities for Independent Small-Scale Farmers in Sumatra
Guest blog from Miguel Zamora, the Director of Coffee Innovation and Producer Relations
This guest blog post comes to us from our very own Miguel Zamora, the Director of Coffee Innovation and Producer Relations at Fair Trade USA. Miguel is focused on creating opportunities between buyers and coffee-growing communities around the world. Last week you read about his visit with small scale coffee farmers in the Lake Toba region of Sumatra. This week, Miguel talks further about the potential for these small-scale farmers who hope to access the many opportunities and benefits of Fair Trade through Fair Trade USA's new Independent Smallholder Standard (ISS).
Last week I visited Lake Toba in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Lake Toba is the 'biggest crater lake in the world' and one of the biggest lakes within an island in the world. It originated 75,000 years ago when Mount Toba erupted in one of the biggest catastrophic events in history that covered Southeast Asia in ashes and created a mini ice age on earth.
In Indonesia, we work with cooperatives in the Aceh region, one of the most well known coffee regions in Sumatra. Cooperatives in Indonesia have had mixed results in Fair Trade. Although some of them have helped farmers to improve their coffee and lives, there have been several challenges with other cooperatives that have been suspended from or left the Fair Trade system. According to many people working in coffee here in Indonesia, cooperatives should not be considered the only form of farmer organization in this region that Fair Trade could benefit. We continue working with the cooperatives in Sumatra (by securing funds for trainings and better access to markets) and, we are also trying to work with the farmers in Sumatra so they can join Fair Trade and form farmer organizations that may better fit their specific needs.
The Batak people live in this region. The Bataks are a proud and ancient group with roots in the lake. They are a very social group that places a lot of importance on education and on maintaining their traditions. Although Indonesia is the most populated Muslim country in the world, most Batak converted to Christianity around 150 ago. I visited producers in two communities from one of the six distinct Batak groups: the Simulungun Batak in Simulungun district.
In the villages of Mariah Dolok and Seribudolok, small-scale farmers grow on average 1-2 hectares of coffee intercropping with different products (rice, chili peppers, etc.). The rich soils in this region allow coffee to generate one of the main sources of income for these families. The coffee from this region, when treated properly in the post-harvest period, can provide a great cup of coffee with very distinct characteristics.
Farmers in this region are not organized in cooperatives. Rather, there are very small farmer groups (10 to 20 farmers) who are organized not to sell coffee but to work with the government on different projects. Each farmer group represents a village. These organizations are called Kolompok Tani and together form GAPOK TANs (communities of farmer organizations). There is also a credit union organized by the local church. Many of the coffee farmers in the region are members of this organization. The credit union is involved in social projects and could provide a way for farmers to become organized to trade their coffee as a group.
A farmer in this region told me that Simalungun is "20 years behind Aceh in coffee production," especially around infrastructure for processing coffee and access to this infrastructure for farmers. This region has great potential for quality coffee and for Fair Trade to support farmers to improve their lives. Several farmers and supporters identified improving access to drinkable water as a main need in the region. Improving agricultural practices could also improve yields and quality, bringing more resources to Batak families in this region. There are around 1,000 farmers in this region that could begin working with Fair Trade. We might begin working with 200 and grow from there. I hope that Fair Trade can support these farmers so the Batak communities in Lake Toba can see similar benefits that farmers in Aceh and other places in the world have been able to achieve.
Special thanks to my new friends in Indonesia and especially to Leo and Lisa who showed me around this beautiful region they call home and taught me about the Bataks and their traditions.

Looking Ahead
This post is part of our new Innovation Update Series. Please stay tuned as we report on both the successes and challenges involved in launching each coffee pilot, our cooperative-strengthening program Co-op Link, and our progress on Fair Trade for All as a whole. It's a unique opportunity for people to learn about the farmers and workers participating in these programs, what Fair Trade means to them, and how we can work together to build a more inclusive, collaborative approach that supports everyone in the global coffee supply chain willing to commit to a journey of sustainability, responsibility, empowerment and impact.
