So today has been quite random. We woke up expecting to be going to the Taste of Edinburgh festival this evening and we were both really looking forward to it. With top restaurants in Edinburgh (incl The Balmoral, Tigerlily and Cucina) and top chefs (incl Fabulous Baking Brothers, Lloyd Grossman, Jason Atherton), it looked to be a great evening out trying out different meals and watching demonstrations.
Unfortunately we woke up to heavy rain. Overnight the meadows were flooded and we had a text from taste telling us it was cancelled. Wahh.
Then we had some good, totally unrelated, news through the post. It was a letter from my university, which I thought would be the physical copy of my exam results. Instead it was a letter saying I had won an award for outstanding merit of the year along with a £100 cheque! This cheered me up, my hard work studying paid off, wahoo :D
So we thought we should celebrate and do something since the festival was cancelled. I was kept updated about taste on twitter. Quite a few of the restaurants had special offers for people with tickets which I thought was generous and nice of them. Then I found that Mark Greenaway and Angels with Bagpipes set up a last minute free pop-up event at Summer Hall serving up their award-winning dishes.
So yeh we kinda had to go! We went along with Nat and Mike and after a drink and a walk we arrived at the end of a queue. After around 15mins the queue started moving and we were the second batch of people to get in. It felt strange walking in to what seemed like someone's house and it was packed! It was part of Edinburgh Uni's Vet School, so there were a lot of strange things like coloured bubbling cylinders by the bar and other random stuff.
We were quite confused with where we were meant to go with people jammed everywhere and being British we felt we had to be in a queue. After switching queues almost three times and nearly walking in to the kitchen we managed to get some scallops with pea puree which was lovely.
After ending up outside at a seating area me and Nat decided to try again inside. This time we were a lot more strategic and managed to get desserts of Eton Mess and 2 mains - 11 hour slow roasted pork belly served with puffed crackling, pomme puree and toffee apple jus and a delicious leg of lamb dish. Delicious!!
It was funny to watch people getting food, we felt a bit like seagulls when it came around. One guy had like 10 plates of scallops all to himself (not in one go mind)! There was so much food - I think I had 4 desserts, 2 mains and a starter. The dessert was definitely my favourite, think Jon liked the pomme puree (or mash to us lot) and pork the best.
So a big thank you to everyone involved, especially to Mark Greenaway and Paul Whitecross for their yummy dishes! It's such a shame about the festival being cancelled because of the rain, but we ended up having a great day after all.

The trade association for suppliers to the food processing and packaging industry.
December 2017
FPSA Members,
As 2017 draws to a close and we prepare to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, it is appropriate to pause and reflect on the passage of the year. Attached is our Year In Review report entitled, "Translate Vision into Reality" which features the major achievements of the Association and Foundation. We are both proud and pleased to have once again, with your active input and involvement, been able to achieve these many accomplishments.
Our main focus this past year was on making PROCESS EXPO 2017, which continues to be the largest U.S. tradeshows focused strictly on food and beverage processing and packaging, the event that all of us want it to be. During this year a tremendous amount of time, effort, and resources were concentrated on transitioning PROCESS EXPO into a newer and much more customer-focused tradeshow. Included in the document you will find details on the specific changes and improvements that were initiated to make the show more relevant and successful. All of these upgrades were focused on attracting new and more attendees, while also enhancing their experience at PROCESS EXPO.
In addition to the show highlights which are listed in the report, I want to specifically update you on several key initiatives and activities that took place this past year:
You can see it has been a busy year for your Association, and none of this would have been possible without the leadership and commitment of your outstanding FPSA Board of Directors and the Foundation Board of Directors whose thoughtfulness and dedication helped guide FPSA to another successful year.
In closing, I would like to wish you and your employees a very happy and healthy holiday season, and as always thank you for your commitment to your industry and your Association.
David Seckman

Age Quod Agis – Do As You Are Doing
I've mislaid the camera, so am relying on the Blackberry.
Fingers crossed the actual one turns up soon.
This is an original, possibly by a well-known equine artist called Jacquie Jones (I think, in the process of verification). I found it in a charity shop earlier this month. Jacquie Jones is the artist in residence at the Newmarket Horse Racing Museum. I also think that this horse might be her 'muse': Age Quod Agis, a horse who won the July Stakes in 1980 at Newmarket as a two year old for Henry Cecil, Joe Mercer up. Jacquie 'did' Age Quod Agis who was owned by Daniel Wildenstein who is now deceased, but owned other good horses such as Ascot Gold Cup winner Westerner.
Anyway, one morning, when she was not riding work on the grey, he got rid of his rider on the heath and bolted into the road where he collided with a car. The young man driving was killed. Jacquie never rode again after that, but stayed on at the yard and nursed the horse for another six months before he went off to stud in America. She took up painting full time after that and says of Age Quod Agis
He comes to me in dreams. Not very often, but sometimes when I'm going through a low patch he'll just appear. It's almost as if he's encouraging me on, saying 'Yes, you're on the right path'; it leaves me feeling very uplifted."
Live Life Like Frankel (via On wishes and horses)
S'pose it's the height of laziness to reblog your own post.
Note to Self: Fuck It & Live Life Like Frankel?
Live Life Like Frankel
That is my motto from now on.
It looks like fun…
Forget Goodwood
Looks like a pig of a day to me. I might be tempted to back Henry's wronged Jacqueline, but that is it. Maybe.
Now, to the terrible tank news. I reported the missing snail a week or so ago. The good news is, it is no longer missing. The bad news is that it was found dead and calcified on the floor behind the tank. The other bad news is that the snail that kept rolling around on its back was actually rolling around on its back for good reason. I left it on the rock a few days ago, but it didn't move, so when faced with one dead snail I decided to be brave and check the other for life. At first, when I picked it up, I was heartened. It recoiled into its shell when I poked it. I did it again to be sure. Could you imagine if I had buried it alive? Anyway, on the second occasion it recoiled further and then plopped out in a decayed smelly jelly mess. Nice.
What have we done?
The calcification of the escapee is not hard to understand. Escapes to a dark corner, is not missed quickly enough and dies before search party is even despatched. The other snail demise is harder to work out, more a reflection on my mollusc-keeping abilities. Did it starve? Given my obsession with weekly water changes and the greedy angel fish there would hardly have been much food going. I thought they would snack on the plants.
I prefer to think it died of a broken snail heart when its companion escaped. Whatever, I do feel a bit culpable. Knowing something like this was bound to happen hardly softens the blow. 😦
The Eclipse: the partial or total obscuring of one celestial body by another
The actual horse Eclipse, whom the race is named after, was born on April Fool's Day in 1764 during a solar eclipse. He went on to win all his races, and was eventually retired due to lack of competition.
"Eclipse first, the rest nowhere" was coined during his short career. Like most great horses he had his idiosyncracies, being boisterous and bad-tempered. His running style – carrying his nose near the ground -made him so hard to ride that only one jockey, John Oakley, partnered him in his 18 race career, all won hands and heels. Rumour has it that Eclipse's best friend was a Psalm squawking parrot…
It is reported that at least 80% of today's racehorses have Eclipse in their pedigrees and he himself was a direct descendant of the great foundation sire the Darley Arabian.
It is therefore apposite to note that Singspiel who I met once at a distance at Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud was sadly put down yesterday after a *long illness. Today Singspiel's daughter Dar Re Mi lines up against the boys in the race at Sandown. I have checked that Singspiel and his daughter are in the 80% of thoroughbreds that have Eclipse runing through their veins and they do. As you go back through horses' pedigrees the different strands become so convoluted and the pathways so many that I couldn't look at every bit of Eclipse that they inevitably have but I can confirm that Eclipse and Creeping Polly produced King Fergus who appears at least twice in Singspiel's pedigree, not to mention a bit of Eclipse and Sportsmistress producing the strangely named Pot-8-Os.
Pot-8-Os Got his name from a stable lad who was asked to put "Potatoes" on his corn bin but misspelled it (possibly as "Potoooooooo"). It was said to have amused his lordship (Earl of Grosvenor), and so it appears in the General Stud Book. Later it was shortened to Pot-8-Os for general use.
Anyway, I am sure most of the other runners today have Eclipse in the pedigree too, although it would be interesting to try and find the 20% who don't and put a line through them. Without the time to indulge in a morning of poking around in pedigrees over 250 years old you will have to settle with my summary.
I want Dar Re Mi to win obviously, but the last time I went to the Eclipse wanting a mare to win Christophe Soumillon got poor Ouija Board murdered round the last bend and she came back in about 5th place with cuts and bruises. I can't even remember who won that day, and I can't be faffed to look it up now. Maybe it will come back to me.
Dar Re Mi may find 10f a bit sharp is the conventional wisdom, but she is a course and distance winner. Zacinto will be popular, but is stepping up from his usual mile for the first time and for that reason I don't fancy him. With Twice Over I am always a little bit cautious especially since he didn't fire in this race last year when I am sure I backed him, but a Cecil win is always a heartwarmer. I won't back his today though because my heart is with the mare.
Of the others: Viscount Nelson, Sri Putra and Mawatheeq – I am not convinced.
So come on Dar Re Mi – do it for your dad Singspiel and your 30Greats Grandad Eclipse.
Poor Singspiel succumbed to laminitis
Breeders' Cup Weekend
There was a day in the not-so distance past that you could hoof off down the boozer and watch this on the tv. If anyone can still do that please let me know for next year.
This year, in another appalling punter versus being a fully-paid up member of a family conflict, I am called away to Devon.
So tonight, when Midday is winning the Filly & Mare Turf in emotional scenes for the blog's beloved Henry Cecil (or it could be Father Time lifting the Marathon), I will be on an M-way somewhere in the South. On my own with a 5 year old, which is worse than actually being on my own. Not because she is not good but because of the responsibility of it all. Motherhood seems so much more heavy on my shoulders when I get in a car, in the dark, in three lanes of traffic, on my own! Did I mention I was on my own?
Saturday will see me dragged out to a cold open field for fireworks. I have been informed I can "catch up" on the Breeders' Cup when I get back, but by then Fleeting Spirit will have won the sprint and Twice Over will have won the Classic. Actually I am not too confident about any of the selections given the quality of the fields, but on the nights that are the Breeders' Cup where international collateral form can be hard to come by or assess, I suggest chucking the form book out of the window (on the M5 perhaps) and just enjoying the Californian spectacle. The Brits dishing up a can of whupass to the Yanks and all that kinda thing y'all.
That's if you're not out watching fireworks or driving to Devon. Did I mention I was on my own…
P.S. Don't forget Frankie says "relax", but he also says if your hoss has a draw in double figures at Santa Anita "forget it".
Search Terms Pt. 2 – "Henry Cecil walk on water"
There was no question mark either!
I am a fan of Henry Cecil but I am not sure that this skill is among his many powers.
He seems to have been a hostage to fortune in many ways; badly used by his wife and then stable jockey (Kieren Fallon), losing his patron Sheikh Mohammed and now sadly battling cancer. Throughout all these trials he has remained a stoic gentleman of the turf and his return to the Epsom winner's enclosure, when he won the Oaks with Light Shift a few seasons ago, was a very memorable and emotional moment.
This season we are crossing our fingers for Midday and a Group 1 win, she has certainly caught a Tartar in the shape of the tiger Sariska. Good luck Henry 🙂
The Oaks Preview – without the strength and depth of the Derby epic!
I just took a phone call from my friend – did I want to go to the Oaks tomorrow (setting off for Epsom in about 12 hours time)? We went last year, when I had about three days notice…
Sadly I had to decline just now because I am bound for something much more boring (delivering a workshop at a conference that has nothing whatsoever to do with horses, although I have hidden a Derby question in the interactive quiz :-)). What a disappointment. March in the fens or Epsom on the downs. No contest 😦
Anyway, I took the opportunity to pick the horseracing journo's brains and he said he has Sariska but he is worried she will be outpaced down the hill. He said he also backed the Bolger filly last year at 50/1, Oh Goodness Me. So that's the expert's view. He also particularly wants to be there when Jamie Spencer wins his first English Classic, that's a big fact that had escaped my notice. Well I hope it happens for them both.
My own position is this. I don't have time to tie myself in the comprehensive knots I have over the colts race on Saturday and I have been busy doing Powerpoint slides for the conference when I could have been studying the form, so I am forced into a Little Britain, Lou and and Andy type decision.
"I want that one!"
That one being Henry Cecil's MIDDAY. I like that she has course experience behind a useful colt, Debussy who has then finished behind two of the Ballydoyle Derby runners at Chester. I like that she won her trial very nicely at Lingfield, albeit against a nothing sort of field. I like her sire Oasis Dream and I like Henry, a lot. He has a great record in the Oaks and at Midday tomorrow although I will be in March, my heart will be at Epsom.

Yes, get your Labour Peers here, while they're hot!
Very useful if you have bags of cash and need the odd bill amending.
The Sunday Times carries this interesting article on Labour Peers for sale.
The Sunday Times also approached Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Ulster Unionist Peers but got no joy from them but four out of five Labour Peers approached would help amend a bill for a fee.
I bet Labour party members are feeling proud right now. Mind you what with the Bernie Ecclestone affair almost on day one, its not like we haven't known Labour are rotten to the core.

At a waiting room in Port Moresby's Gerehu general hospital red, gold and black balloons – the colours of the country's flag – deck the walls in the build-up to independence day.
Around the back in the stifling heat, nurses are administering vaccine drops from cool boxes. About 30 adults and children are queuing under a canvas tent, awaiting their dose to protect against polio, a disease Donald Lippert, a Catholic bishop from the Southern Highlands, characterised as "a beast lurking in the darkness, ready to spring forth".
The number of confirmed cases has risen to 12 up from 10 earlier in the week, and health authorities have confirmed the disease has reached the capital, Port Moresby, after the diagnosis of a six-year-old boy in an area called Five Mile. The other children affected are in remote parts of the country, and the first case surfaced in June.
The health crisis has cast a shadow over the developing Pacific island country as it prepares to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of its independence from Australia on Sunday. Tribal dancing, agricultural shows and flag raising ceremonies are among festivities scheduled.
Nason Aguleko, an accountant, has brought his 16-year-old daughter Catherine to be immunised along with her grandmother.
The family plan to travel to Australia at Christmas to spend time with relatives. A polio vaccination is now part of visa requirements.
Aguleko recalls the lives ruined as a result of the disease when he was growing up. "I've seen quite a number of people paralysed from polio over the years," the father-of-three tells the Guardian. "If someone is affected you can't support yourself, there is no independence and dreams and aspirations are lost."
The World Health Organisation declared PNG polio free in 2000. For Generation Y Papua New Guineans, like architect Rita Karaie, 27, there isn't much awareness about the consequences of the disease. "I don't even know what the symptoms are," she says, as she lines up for her turn.
Sister Kenegalato Waligia is a nurse at the hospital and her team has vaccinated 50 to 80 babies each morning this week. "When the outbreak came up we started to see a lot of panicked mothers," she says. She says more resources are needed to increase PNG vaccination rates.
Over recent years there have been funding cuts to mobile clinics travelling to settlement areas and remote villages to vaccinate children. However, these clinics are set to receive a major boost in the coming months.
The PNG government has instigated a program to vaccinate 3.3 million children under 15, starting in the capital on 24 September and rolling out nationally from 1 October.
There has been some community resentment over healthcare funding being stretched, while the PNG government ploughs millions into hosting world leaders for the Apec summit in November.
Jennifer Elsibai, Save the Children's Pacific regional director tells the Guardian. "I think that the country is facing really incredible fiscal constraints, and Apec is a very obvious use of the government's budget and it's an easy place to direct your anger, especially if you're a member of a community that is faced with a health facility that isn't adequate to meet your needs."
She attributes the outbreak largely to vaccination rates, which had dropped to less than 50% in some parts of the country.
Polio is an infectious disease transmitted through contact with food and water contaminated with the faeces or saliva of infected people. It's rare in most parts of the world because of the success of immunisation programs but Somalia, Kenya, Congo and Nigeria have recently experienced outbreaks.
Efforts to eradicate polio from Afghanistan and Pakistan have been thwarted because of political instability.

Our Pleasant Mills Quarry has been through quite a transformation in the last couple of years. We were glad to have some of our local community partners out to tour the plant and see our progress.
With more than 5000 employees, our parent company gives us the size and stability to consistently serve the needs our customers.


text: I wasn't going to go into the man's room. There were so many ladies sitting in the hallways in their wheelchairs. I gave about ten bouquets to the CNA's and nurses that give their all to their patients. I had 32 bouquets. I went into the lunch room too. So with two left, I went into Lester's room. "Oh, so you are from West Philadelphia? My daughter lives down there. There are so many beautiful old houses down there but she lives in an area that makes this mom nervous," I said. Lester said, "I know about worrying about kids. Mine are adults now. But, Sis, this is what you have to do. You have to put all of your kids and cares in the care of God. If you trust God, you won't feel so nervous. He is the captain of the winning Team! Just reach out your hands to Him." He held the bundle of flowers and thanked me effusively for the gift and asked if I could put another bouquet on the table for his room-mate who was not there. All flowers gone. Mission accomplished. And I thanked him for the gift of his message of Faith!

British Airways increases Sao Paulo services – good Avios availability if you book now
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
British Airways has added two new weekly flights to Sao Paulo. It has not been officially announced yet as far as I know but the flights are available for booking.
As usual, the guaranteed two Club World seats and four World Traveller economy seats are available for Avios redemptions on the new services. If you have previously tried to get Avios seats to Sao Paulo and not found availability, look again today.
The new flights start on 1st November:
Heathrow to Sao Paulo
Thursday – BA 241 – departs 18.40, arrives 04.50 Friday
Sunday – BA 241 – departs 19.05, arrives 05.15 Monday
Sao Paulo to Heathrow
Monday – BA240 – departs 16.20, arrives 06.15 Tuesday
Friday – BA 240 – departs 16.20, arrives 06.15 Saturday
These new services will use a Boeing 787-9 (if BA still has any in working order).
The existing daily service on a Boeing 777 will continue to be available. You may want to consider swapping any existing redemption to the new 787 service as it is a far more attractive option in Club World or First Class.

Do you have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and are you ready for a health reboot this new year? The autoimmune diet calms Hashimoto's inflammation, stimulates recovery, repairs leaky gut, and boosts well being.
Many foods can trigger Hashimoto's low thyroid flares as well as cause fatigue, rashes, joint pain, digestive issues, headaches, anxiety, depression, and more.
Most people with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism react to gluten, dairy, different grains, eggs, nuts, or nightshades. Sugar, sweeteners, and sweet fruits can also trigger autoimmune thyroid flares.
People wonder what there is to eat on this diet. Luckily, there is still plenty to eat. In fact, the Hashimoto's hypothyroidism diet more closely resembles what people have eaten for most of human history.
The diet is based on grass-fed and organic meats, wild fish, healthy fats, fermented foods, and plenty of vegetables. Eating ample veggies will develop good gut bacteria, detoxify the liver, and improve your tolerance for a wider variety of foods.
Healthy fats to eat include coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, and ghee (if tolerated). Avoid processed vegetable oils and strictly avoid hydrogenated oils, or trans fats.
While the Hashimoto's low thyroid diet is more work than fast food or microwave meals, the rewards are worth the effort. Couple this with a trip to a wellness center for hashimoto's disease, this diet will help you better manage your Hashimoto's hypothyroidism.
This Hashimoto's low thyroid diet requires planning and preparation. In the beginning, you may experience cravings, lower energy, and symptoms of detox. Online support groups can be very reassuring and helpful.
However, most people soon experience an increase in energy and well being and lessening of Hashimoto's hypothyroidism symptoms.
Follow the diet for 30 to 90 days. At that point, you may add in some of the eliminated foods — one at a time every 72 hours — to see whether you react. Through trial and error you can customize a diet for life that is healthy but satisfying. Many with Hashimoto's low thyroid find being at least gluten-free and dairy-free diminish symptoms substantially.
Certain supplements can aid in your diet and Hashimoto's hypothyroidism management. Supplements can help with liver detoxification, gut repair, blood sugar balance, and stress handling, all of which can help manage your Hashimoto's low thyroid. Just call my office for advice.
Many patients are not diagnosed with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's until after several years and going through several doctors. It is a demoralizing journey richly illustrated in my book The Truth About Low Thyroid: Stories of Hope and Healing for Those Suffering With Hashimoto's Low Thyroid Disease, through real-life stories from patients in my practice. Managing Hashimoto's goes far beyond using thyroid medication as you must work to stop the immune system from attacking the thyroid. For more information on identifying and managing Hashimoto's low thyroid, contact my office.
Dr. Joshua J. Redd, DC, MS, DABFM, DAAIM, author of The Truth About Low Thyroid: Stories of Hope and Healing for Those Suffering With Hashimoto's Low Thyroid Disease, is a chiropractic physician and the founder of RedRiver Health and Wellness Center with practices in Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. He sees patients from around the world who suffer from challenging thyroid disorders, Hashimoto's disease, and other autoimmune conditions. In addition to his chiropractic degree, Dr. Redd has a BS in Health and Wellness, a BS in Anatomy, and a MS in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. He speaks across the nation, teaching physicians about functional blood chemistry, low thyroid, Hashimoto's, and autoimmunity. You can join his Facebook page here.

There were 12 cookies in a jar. Andrew takes two. How many cookies are left in the jar?
This is a simple subtraction problem. If there are originally 12 cookies in the jar and Andrew takes two, you would have to subtract those two cookies. 12 - 2 = 10.

I' m building a flash based quiz game. Choosing a right or wrong answer plays a flash video file. There are a total of 9 such video files - each 20 secs long.
Can I load all these video files right at the start, before the game loads ? It is very frustrating to click on an answer and wait for a few seconds while the video plays.
/Thanks for your time

Mastering digital challenges
Companies are constantly facing new challenges, not least in the fields of marketing, sales and customer services. These three areas respresent the Customer Dialogue, starting from the expression of interest to customer advice, sales and customer service. Additionally, they compose crucial aspects in terms of decision-making and customer satisfaction.
In the past, companies were forced to overcome barriers resulting from missing calculability and manual processes by using spiritual and imprecise methods. Things, that can nowadays be accelerated, mechanized and controlled through the correct handling of data and state-of-the-art technologies.
The formation of digital pioneering spirit
Our composition connects a multitude of disciplines in a way that leads to excellent results in the whole value-added process – that is our claim as well as our customer's, who are purposeful and goal-oriented companies with ambitions and visions regarding the past, present, and future.
Effortfully built structures in the fields of marketing and sales that were established over the years contain a high value for future developments and deserve our appreciation. However, the processing or handling of big data are rather young subjects, and have to be integrated in the existing structures.
This concept sounds rather complex, but is in fact very intuitive. It is the entity of our team, including the experience taken from the work in big enterprises, medium-sized businesses and startups in the industries of manufacturing, services, and independant professions – businesses that have marketing and sales as their driving force.
Between Marketing and Technology
The pioneering spirit is equally reflected in Peak & Peak's self-definition. We, Peak & Peak, see ourselves as a service provider that acts between the fields of Marketing and Technology, using a nearly unique consulting and development concept. By doing so, we have our finger on the pulse of time and solve the problems of companies who accept upcoming challenges.
"To turn new technologies into profits and growth, marketing and IT will need to change how they work — and how they work together."– 'Getting the CMO and CIO to work as partners', McKinsey & Company

Talk:Pitcairn Islands
way off the beaten path... (WT-en) Member 00:54, 18 December 2006 (EST)
Listing challenge[edit]
Pacific Expeditions has a poor reputation. Do not undo this edit unless you can provide evidence it has a good reputation. People depend on this site having accurate, information on which to base their decisions. This isn't site to advertise on. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs)
Highest Point[edit]
Is the highest point really called Highest Point? According to Wikipedia, the highest point has a name: Pawala Valley Ridge. Is this correct? (WT-en) ChubbyWimbus 23:39, 30 December 2009 (EST)
Pacific Expeditions[edit]
Can anyone please show a proof link, explain or comment -- why Pacific Expeditions has a poor reputation? I worried because I want to use them :-) --(WT-en) Maloff 14:58, 3 April 2010 (EDT)
- I went with Pacific Expeditions to Pitcairn on SRV Discovery (ex R/V Bounty Bay) 2011-02-22 - 2011-03-01. Everything went well (although conditions are quite "spartan"). The crew (Craig, Arthur and Ruvid) were very kind people, ready to help and the food was above expectations --(WT-en) Maloff 23:47, 10 March 2011 (EST)
Highest Point[edit]
"Highest Point" is the highest point along the main ridgeline of Pitcairn. This is the name used by the local people. Quite a brillant place to sit down with a 360 degree view of the mighty South Pacific Ocean - something never to forget (WT-en) Islandboy1 22:21, 9 March 2011 (PST)
Do not delete talk page comments[edit]
Please do not delete comments on this page. Anyone is welcome to rebut any argument made here, but the guideline that governs usage of talk pages on Wikivoyage is Project:Using talk pages#Etiquette, not a Pitcairn Island legal case. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 10:54, 10 March 2011 (EST)
- Again, Wikivoyage policy is that disputes are resolved via discussion, not censorship. If something is factually inaccurate please present a counter-argument with any relevant facts. Repeatedly deleting the comments of others does nothing to help resolve a dispute. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 22:55, 10 March 2011 (EST)
This sentence has been edited a couple of different times, by different users, to remove the information in parentheses:
"Walking and personal all-terrain vehicles (3- and 4-wheel "motorbikes") are the main ways to get from one place to another, and a bike is usually available for rent."
It is really the case that everyone but me knew that ATVs can have 3 wheels? Anyway, I see no harm in leaving the parenthetical statement there. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:06, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- ATVs usually have four wheels, but they can also have for example three or six or a pair of caterpillar tracks and so on. I've seen several examples on the Internet what local Gyro Gearlooses for instance in rural Russia can come up with, and in a place like Pitcairn Islands where the closest official ATV dealership and service is thousands of kilometers away I believe they are equally creative... ϒpsilon (talk) 10:48, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. And do you think the parenthetical statement ought to be removed from the article, or that it does no harm to leave it in? Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:05, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- ATVs are a very well known type of vehicle, and so there's no value in stating the obvious ... what next explaining in articles that a car is? —The preceding comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs)
- First, please sign your comments in talk pages by putting this at the end of the comments: ~~~~. Second, how about waiting for a consensus before changing the text again? Thirdly, you're obviously wrong that the fact that an ATV can have 3 wheels or what kind of ATVs are used in Pitcairn is as well known as what a car is. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:03, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
- In a 90s travelogue book about Pitcairn I read recently the author states that Pitcairn uses 3-wheel ATVs. IDK if they changed them, but that proves that at least they used to have 3-wheel ones. 184.108.40.206 00:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- ATVs definitely used to have 3 wheels. See the Wikipedia article. They were unsteady, and manufacturers agreed to stop making them in 1987. It's possible that a remote place like Pitcairn would keep patching them up to keep them operating (like Cuba's fleet of 1950s American road boats), but it seems unlikely. Unless anyone can provide a source for saying they are still operating, or has been to Pitcairn and seen them, I don't that we would want to claim that they are still running. Ground Zero (talk) 01:33, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Debris on Henderson Island[edit]
From https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/05/17/no-one-lives-on-this-remote-pacific-island-but-its-covered-in-38-million-pieces-of-plastic-trash.html "the remote island has become the final resting place for an estimated 38 million pieces of garbage, according to researchers who arrived on its shores in 2015 and were stunned to find the atoll's once-undisturbed white-sand beaches littered with trash." Nearly all of it is plastic being carried from out-of-region by ocean currents. K7L (talk) 12:01, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- Depressing, to say the least. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:37, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

4 out of 5 stars
Amazon Summary: Isabella Green has landed a lead role, in James Berkeley's latest movie. And she's about to discover, that the famous director is runs a punishing schedule. Both on and off set.
But with their relationship still a closely guarded secret, James and Isabella are walking a tight-rope. And when jealousy and danger explode around them, can their feelings hold firm?
James has only been gone 4 days and you would think its been 4 months. Issy has the whole can't eat, can't sleep without you down to a science. She was getting on our last nerves. Like he picked YOU to star in his movie and he wants to be with YOU. Soooooo Chill out!!!
We like that James isn't over the top. He is smart and he thinks before he reacts. He does not have time for foolishness. We still want to know more about the drama between him and Ben. No there is still no insight in Book# 2...but there is a new piece to the Ben puzzle and her name is Camilla. Camilla once had a crush on Ben and that didn't end well, so we are dying to know more!
We are still sitting on the fence about Lorna. Is she a real friend or not? We are leaning towards NOT, but we will wait to learn more about her before we cast our official verdict.
We loved how the book wasn't just focused on sex. Although the sex scenes are still HOT as ever. There are some new characters introduced - some we love / some we can strangle. There is also a movie stalker...this gave the book an element of suspense. Because as the reader we were dying to know how bad Natalie wanted the lead role and how far she was willing to go to get the part.
Our favorite scene: James is taking Issy to dinner and she is sporting pearls instead of underwear. And every movement is sensitive to her - the train ride, climbing the stairs, just being close to James. He stops and toys with her on the stairwell to the restaurant. It was an awesome scene!
'I feel myself slamming against the wall of the stairwell. The pearls have already brought me to the brink, and I feel myself close. Then he reaches down and twists the pearls back against my clitoris with a little expert flick, and I feel myself give way.'
What we are looking forward to:
- Will James be able to keep Natalie under control during filming? Because she is now in the know of his and Issy's little secret.
- Will James and Issy's relationship be exposed before either of them is ready?
- What is the beef with Ben?
- Will Lorna prove to be friend or foe?

A powerful car bomb has exploded in the center of the Afghan capital, Kabul, killing at least 15 people and wounding more than 20 others.
Witnesses say back-to-back blasts occurred in a crowded downtown area near the Ministry of Information and Culture. The first blast came from a bomb attached to a bicycle. The second and much larger explosion was detonated from a car after a crowd had gathered to see what happened.
Thousands of people fled in panic, as police sealed off the area.
No arrests have been reported, and there has been no claim of responsibility. But Kabul police officials are blaming Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network.
Earlier this week, Afghan factional leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar called for a jihad (holy war) to oust the post-Taleban government of President Hamid Karzai. He also urged his followers to drive U-S military forces from the country.
International peacekeepers say they suspect Mr. Hekmatyar was behind a series of earlier bombings in Kabul. They say he may have joined forces with remnants of al-Qaida and Afghanistan's ousted Taleban rulers.

We hope that you will find in these pages abundant evidence of our diverse and dynamic community.
We pride ourselves on the many offerings we extend to students and their families.
Whether it's a chorale performance or a student government debate or a point won by one of our many athletic teams or a weekend outing with College Crusade, rich opportunities for personal challenge and growth abound.
And whether it's an evening class in ELL run in collaboration with Dorcas Place or a weekend business training session offered by the Rhode Island Justice League, parents will find also find at Segue significant opportunities for skill-building and empowerment.
Because that's the Segue belief: engaged, committed adults who believe in lifelong learning support resilient, ambitious, successful students. Together-- from our youngest scholars to our oldest grandparents-- we all have the power to be agents of change in our schools, communities, and beyond.
We also believe in educational choice. There is a robust process that starts long before graduation: Segue staff work closely with students and parents to identify secondary programs that are a best fit for their academic profile and interests. And our Alumni Program then keeps up with graduates as they progress through high school and navigate their way into college and career.

I walked to the front of campus this morning to check our mail. Rachel was expecting (and received) her new Palm Pixi.
Several people were already out working the landscaping across the front of our campus. If you've never been to our facility, you might not know we all live on a sprawling 130 acres within the city of Waco. The front of our campus runs along Herring Avenue and most everyone in Waco knows as one of the most picturesque places in the city.
Sometimes it seems like we spend a lot more effort keeping the front looking good than we do the rest of the 130 acres. The devotional-izer in me jumps on this. I quickly stir up thoughts of Jesus calling the Pharisees "white-washed tombs." I think about all the effort we humans sometimes make to look good to others while refusing to take thought of our inner selves.
The trouble is, I told my devotion-izer self, the rest of the campus is also well taken care of. Perhaps not as neatly lanscaped throughout, and maybe the grass on the back 40 is not mowed quite as frequently, but it is all, by any standard, well cared for.
The problem, I quickly realized, is not taking extra care of what others see. The problem, rather, is when we neglect what others do not see.
How is your soul? Are you taking good care of the you no one else sees?

My Friends Asked Me To Choose Between My Boyfriend And Them: I Chose Him And I Don't Regret It
My Friends Asked Me To Choose Between My Boyfriend And Them: I Chose Him And I Don't Regret It
Boys are all the same. It's in their programming; they screw you over and leave with a smirk.
However, some come into your life and leave permanent footprints all over your heart and show you how much love you deserve. Should we learn from our mistakes or learn that mistakes are ought to be made?
Well, here's my story.
A beautiful summer romance which took unexpected turns. I liked a boy and he liked me too. He asked me out and I said yes. My friends didn't like him at all and asked me to stay away from him. Being the stubborn kid I am, I talked to him anyway. They found out and made me swear to NEVER see him again, quite literally. I didn't understand this then and even now, I'm clueless as to why they stopped me. I mean, it's my choice to choose a partner. It's their choice to like him or not.
They asked me the ultimate question one day, harder than the ones they ask in KBC. My friends asked me to choose between my boyfriend and them. I didn't tell them and secretly started dating him. I met him near the staircase and stole secret glances during the rest of the day. I told everyone I was just going to the washroom, when in reality, I was meeting him somewhere in the corridors. Long story short, after a billion fights, I chose him over my best friends because I knew that even when I have no one, I'll have him. We have so many memories, happy ones that still make me giggle. We laughed, we loved, we kissed - we shared everything.
What about my friends? Well, they dumped me. The reason I'm saying this, is because it was never less than a breakup. They stabbed me right in the front and twisted the knife.
They told everyone how much of a 's***' I was, how I should just die, how I've given my heart to every boy I've laid my eyes on. Not just that, one of my friends, my best friend, she wrote on the walls of our school washroom that I'm a s*** and my other friend is a prick.
I finally decided to give up on our decade long friendship and be with my boyfriend instead. I know it was a mean thing to do and guess what? Karma got to me soon.
I had no one to talk to. I was crowded by friends before being with him, but now I had no one. I did have him as a partner but I mean, how much time could he spend with his clingy girlfriend?
He chose to stick around with me anyway and spend lesser time with his own friends. He was and still is, the best friend I've ever had, the best listener and of course, a person who supports me all the time.
He made me smile. I was finally in love, I was feeling amazing. Our hands together felt so perfect. You know that feeling you get when you bite into a cupcake? That's the feeling I got. We belonged together. I felt so good, I wished that if this was a dream, I never want to wake up. I find myself struggling at times, wondering if this was too good to be true. I got insecurities even though I have never found him lying or cheating. I constantly have this feeling that we'd break up and I'll be left alone. That, I'm not pretty, not even beautiful or even remotely cute.
Next thing I know, I'm getting beautiful gifts to make me feel gorgeous. His words make me melt. I don't know what the future holds for us but what I do know is that I'll never forget him. His smile, his dimples, his eyes, the way he says me name and the way he makes that confused face. Did I mention his smile? He means the world to me.
I miss my friends at times, I'm not angry and I don't hate them. Heck I'd give anything to make this normal again, but I'll never forget what they did to me.

In case this Microsoft resource doesn't work out for you, you may need to request a substitution in a surprising way.
Keep examining for that and a couple of more contemplations. activate windows 8.1
Make an effort not to Have a Windows 7 Key? Here's Your Other Option There's confined to download Windows 7 legally, while never having gotten a copy or have a generous thing key, yet it has a reprimand that you're in all likelihood not going to like. You can download Windows 7 "in vain" as a noteworthy part of your paid Visual Studio Subscription
(definitely known as This master enrollment by Microsoft stipends you access to Windows 7 downloads and thing keys, and moreover downloads and keys for by far most of the item Microsoft produces. But in the event that you're an item engineer or IT capable, this amazingly expensive participation program is no doubt not worth the money.
Note: Prior to late 2012, Windows 7 was available for individuals to purchase and download direct from the Microsoft Store. While this is up 'til now a probability for Windows 10, it is, unfortunately, no longer functional for Windows 7. A 90-day starter type of Windows 7 Enterprise used to be an option until 2015 yet while isn't any more open, supplanted with the Windows 10 corresponding. Clearly, if downloading Windows 7 isn't key for your situation, your other option is to purchase a copy of Window 7 on DVD. Microsoft never again offers Windows 7 direct, anyway you may even now find copies of Windows 7 open at Amazon or from an electronic retailer like Newegg, so taking a gander at the best cost is a keen idea. Note: If you have a Windows 7 circle, and are simply endeavoring to download Windows 7 since you need to present it on your PC which does not have an optical drive, there is a way to deal with get the foundation records from your DVD onto a burst drive. See How to Install Windows 7 From USB for rules. A while back when Windows 7 was open for purchase and download through the Microsoft Store, Microsoft used an association by the name of Digital River to give the Windows 7 ISO pictures

February 2nd will be the 6th anniversary of the stroke I had in 2011, two months after my 40th birthday. Many of you are aware of my stroke story, but for the benefit of those who may be reading this that do not know me personally I figured I would bring you up to speed. The stroke occurred on the left side of my brain, which effected the right side of my body. For a time the weakness on my right side was so prominent I was unable to walk without a cane and could not write or do very much with my right hand. I had very little feeling on the right side of my face and a lopsided smile. I did physical, occupational, and speech and language therapy for almost a year. I still have weakness and less feeling on my right side than my left. I still can't write very long with my right hand, but I no longer need a cane to walk. I still see a crooked smile when I look in the mirror, but I have more feeling on the right side of my face than I did initially. In fact, most people tell me to look at me they would never know I had a stroke. But, because a stroke is a brain injury, an area people can't see, they don't know the lasting affects that still remain.
I was left with something called aphasia, which makes it challenging for me at times to process what people are saying to me and to find the words I want to say to respond. Often times when people are talking to me it sounds like the teacher's voice in the Charlie Brown cartoons. It's just a bunch of noise. Sometime later I am often able to really process what was said. The words just pop up in my brain. It actually comes in handy when someone is talking to me and I really don't want to hear what they are saying anyway. I am able to just smile and nod my head and catch up later. Before the stroke I was more of a left-brain person. They told me the left brain is responsible for things like: logic, sequencing, math, language, facts, and thinking in words. Since the injury was in the left brain, the right brain did exactly what it was supposed to do and kicked into high gear. The right brain is responsible for things like: creativity, imagination, visualization, feelings, and intuition. Math and numbers make my head hurt now. I am a visual learner now. I think in pictures or images. I cannot multi-task. I have true tunnel vision and can only see and do what needs to be done one piece at a time. And I absolutely love bright colors and all things creative.
I gave all of that background because when my daughters and I were in a pretty bad car accident on December 4, 2016 I suffered a concussion that made me feel like I felt right after the stroke. I couldn't think clearly, didn't understand words, was very irritable and emotional. The doctor later told me that was all completely normal for a concussion and I would have to have some time of brain rest: no TV, no computer, no reading, nothing that would require too much thinking. He also told me it may take me a little longer than normal to completely recover from the concussion, because I had a former brain injury. But, he did say I could listen to music, which I still do quite a bit, with my headphones on, lights off, in my bed.
One day my youngest daughter, who also suffered a concussion in the accident, and I were talking and she mentioned she really liked the new Bruno Mars CD. At the time I didn't even know he had a new CD out. I asked her to play it for me. After hearing the first few lines of the first song, "24K Magic" I immediately said, 'Nope, don't like it. You can turn it off.' Later that week as I was having a few moments of illegal iPad time I stumbled across a clip from Bruno Mars' interview on 60 Minutes. As I watched and listened I saw a young man with kind eyes, a pleasant smile, and a seemingly humble heart. So, I decided I would give his new CD a fair try. I downloaded it from Apple Music that night and listened with an open mind. I listened to "24K Magic" thinking, 'Come on Bruno you told us ladies in "Just the Way You Are" if perfect was what we were looking for just stay the same. You called us a "Treasure." You made our hearts break with your lyrics on "When I Was Your Man"…now, we are pretty girls that are waking up the rocket and bad b*#@hes with ugly a$$ friends. What is THAT about?' Still, I listened. That was night one.
I didn't know it had been four years since he put out a CD. So, I figured now, at age 31, this is "grown man" Bruno I was hearing. Night two I listened again and was suddenly hooked on the old school feel of the CD. Despite some of the words that I still can't get with on "24K Magic", it is one of my favorite songs on the CD, along with "Versace on the Floor." In the right setting, (with a husband since I don't believe in premarital sex or "casual" sex, whatever that means), "Versace on the Floor" is the kind of song I want to hear playing in the background. I'm not married so I listen to it sparingly. But, I have promised my adult daughters that if I ever do remarry they will most definitely come to our home one day or night and hear that song playing behind a closed bedroom door. My middle daughter said knowing this, if I ever remarry she will never again come to my home. I will have to go to her house to see her. LOL! I guess that's a moot point, though, because right now after being divorced five years, the idea of having to share my space with a man that I would have to see everyday, compromise with and all the other responsibilities that come with being a wife, really creeps me out!
Anyway, my concussed brain has now decided the Bruno Mars "24K Magic" CD is the best! Very often I put on my headphones and escape to the dance floor of my bedroom listening to it. With the aphasia I hear more of the music than I do the words, but I do know every word of "Versace on the Floor" LOL. I was told he performed at the new MGM at National Harbor last month, which made me check his touring schedule to see if he was coming here again. And wouldn't you know it, he will be here at the Verizon Center on September 29th & 30th. I convinced my older sister to get a ticket to go with me.
Since the breast cancer diagnosis I have been forcing myself to make plans to do all kinds of things. As I keep my eyes on Jesus, I keep seeing beyond the cancer journey and all that it entails. I still remember six years ago lying in a bed in the Stroke Unit of University of Maryland Hospital crying and praying softly, 'Jesus, what am I supposed to do now?' He responded just as softly, "You are going to take one breath, one step, one moment, one day at a time, holding on tightly to My hand, with you on My right and Me on your left."
For today, I have reminded cancer that it is just a name. The name above all names, Jesus (Philippians 2:9-11), already conquered it on my behalf when He was crucified, died, and raised to life from a borrowed tomb three days later (Matt. 27, Matt. 28:1-7). It is by His stripes I am completely healed of ALL manner of sickness and disease (Isaiah 53:5). So, despite what the cancer that is currently trespassing in my body tries to imply, I say in JESUS NAME, I will be well, strong, and cancer-free by September 30th (and yes, I did say it out loud directly to my left breast), because I have a date with Bruno Mars at 8PM at the Verizon Center that I WILL NOT miss. And I intend to dance a hole in the floor! I already feel sorry for the poor people who will have the misfortune of being seated near me! LOL!

— As records continue to tumble one by one, the race towards horological slenderness appears to have reached its highest – or in this case lowest – imaginable level. Across all categories, is it still possible and worthwhile to take things any further?
Watch enthusiasts have just been hit by impressive string of records. One after the other, what already looked like irreducibly thin designs have been further pared down by the major Replica Watches For Sale companies, apparently driven by a conquering spirit such as we have rarely witnessed before in this field. Mechanical hand-wound or self-winding Rolex Replica watches, equipped with tourbillons or minute repeaters: in all these fundamental categories of contemporary watch, the slimming diet has been both drastic and very fast. One might almost wonder whether the resulting timepieces might not end up with a vitamin deficiency. At the very least they are liable to have caused some severe episodes of hypoglycaemia and dizziness among the public, since most of these wasp-waisted watches are breathtakingly beautiful.
There is of course the technical factor. Making watches slimmer is an authentic challenge that involves pushing the limits of resistance, architecture and component production. An undeniable driving force behind progress in the watch industry, this approach reaches its ultimate degree of complexity in the tourbillon category – for which the current record-holder is Bulgari's Octo Finissimo Tourbillon with its 1.95 mm calibre! Nonetheless, the achievement far exceeds the field of mechanics alone, since the movement is not the be-all and end-all and the case must also be slimmed down in order to make the Omega Replica watches thinner. Bulgari has achieved a truly impressive design feat, since the complex new-look Octo case, composed of 110 facets and several stacked layers, has been perfectly preserved while now measuring just 5 mm in thickness. The effect on the wrist is certainly striking.
Reducing the case thickness means revisiting the very way in which the watch is designed. Piaget therefore decided to do away with a standard case back housing the traditional "sandwich-type" watch construction. In the case of the Altiplano 900P, the mainplate serves as the case-back, machined on the inside to house the components. This original approach, in parallel with other miniaturisation efforts, makes this the slimmest mechanical Fake Watches currently available, at just 3.65 mm in all. But creating an ultra-thin watch is no good if it turns out to be excessively fragile, and Piaget accordingly undertook to consolidate its 900P: the movement actually connects with the sapphire crystal via the underside in order to form a pillar that protects it from breakage; and the mainplate/caseback is thick enough to prevent it from twisting.

An ultra-thin watch is however much more than a compilation of records, figures and competition. In the real world, where Breitling Replica watches are worn on the wrist, this watchmaking style also spells the greatest elegance. A form of elegance that is all about watches that are discreet to the point of remaining virtually out of sight. This is a strong trend reversal: after years of vying to have the thickest and largest possible watch in order to impress others, one can now shine in public with a very small, very slim watch.
Models are now so slim that it has become pretty hard to tell the difference. Who could be certain which is thicker once on the wrist: a 43 mm-diameter, 5.25 mm thin Altiplano, or a 5.40 mm Breguet Classique 5157? These two models are competitors for the title of the thinnest mechanical self-winding Swiss Replica Watches and there is just 0.5 mm between them. Does it show? Does it matter? We can expect to see a truce in the battle of figures. Announcing too many records can prove counter-productive and there is a threshold that is no longer worth crossing… unless…
