If you've ever had the experience of re-reading a classic novel that you dismissed in high school (The Great Gatsby comes to mind), only to be staggered by its depth a decade or two later, you'll have an idea of what we experienced tasting the new Knob Creek Single Barrel. (That is, if Fitzgerald returned to add some slight but pithy passages). We discovered Knob Creek early—it was big, it was sweet, it would put you on your can—and ultimately moved on to (we thought) more multifaceted, less omnipresent brown liquors. But this new single-barrel expression of Knob Creek, released in February, culled from barrels of nine-year-old bourbon that might otherwise go into blends for the standard label, has us reconsidering our snobbery. It's still big, still sweet, and, at 120 proof, will most definitely still put you on your can; but there's so much more to find here. Though it's unmistakably a relative of Knob Creek, with that rich, cooked vanilla character, the single barrel is surlier, less predictable, with pockets full of roasted apples and clove tobacco. And some major-league heat. Water is really recommended. Side by side with a regular Knob Creek, we think you'll find the original more compelling than you remember. And the single barrel is easily one of the best bourbons on the market at its price ($40). Some things are popular for a good reason. And some things—like good novels and good whiskey—are wasted on the young.
Very good. Little sweet, but it makes up for it in taste (and kick.)

Hello,

Sometime ago I tried to use psyco and stackless on Windows and python crashed at 'import psyco'. Yet, reading the mailing list archives, I read an announcement that stackless now supports and may be distributed with Psyco.

What's the current state of stackless and psyco? How can we get them to work together? Thanks!

When I've got the blues or I'm nursing a bad case of the flu, any one of these dishes can bring back pleasant memories of days gone by, when life was simpler and someone else did the cooking. That someone was usually my mother or grandmother who made everything "from scratch." As a child, no boxed, instant potatoes lived in our home pantry. When I think of potatoes, I can recall my mother scrubbing the heavy dirt off the thick skin, peeling and boiling them in a large steamy pot, then mashing them with lots of milk and butter to create mashed potatoes.
Potatoes are the fourth largest world fresh food crop, just behind rice, wheat and corn. In more agricultural times, potatoes were popular because they were easy to grow, readily available and inexpensive. Whether they were baked, mashed or casseroled - and most of our mothers knew at least a dozen different ways to prepare them - potatoes were a steady companion to whatever meat, poultry or fish and vegetable dish being served at the dinner table.
Potatoes offer a variety of important vitamins, minerals and fiber but they are also well known for their carbohydrate content. In recent times, with our rigorous avoidance of carbs, potatoes are no longer a staple of every household. Now, we tend to sneak potatoes into our diets with fast-food fries and breakfast hash browns. But, during the holiday seasons, potatoes get an annual revival. In fact, they hold a place of honor in the culinary homage to holiday tradition - representing the supreme "comfort food" and evoking memories of good times and good people from our past.
Some time before year's end, I predict that you will indulge in at least one scrumptiously delicious potato dish - Aunt Sally's mashed potatoes, Granny's potato latkes, Nana's potatoes au gratin, Uncle George's scalloped potatoes or even your own super-loaded baked potato. Whatever the style, I invite you to totally savor the dish, not fretting the calories or carbs as you partake. Instead, let the soothing flavors and steamy smells take you back to a younger, thinner, less-stressed you and help you conjure up a few nostalgic memories of holidays gone by.
I'm also predicting that the dining experience will be worth the extra carb intake and the memory will join your "database" of special holiday gatherings you have known. And if you don't have a favorite potato recipe, adopt the one here and serve it as a holiday gift to someone you love.

More than 250 people have been killed by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad in the village of Tremseh in Hama province, according to opposition activists. The Revolution Leadership Council of Hama told Reuters that most of those killed were civilians. The opposition activists said the village had been attacked by helicopter gunships and tanks, and that pro-government militia men then moved in and carried out execution-style killings. Reports of the massacre come as the international community remains deadlocked over how to resolve the Syrian crisis, with Russia and China continuing to oppose a western move to press the United Nations to threaten Damascus with sanctions before 20 July.

Customers' anger at Bedminster furniture restoration business Bobbie Burns
Posted: March 12, 2013|
SEVERAL customers have been left out of pocket and frustrated after paying large deposits to a furniture restoration business in Bedminster.
Four couples who are disgruntled customers of Bobbie Burns in North Street told The Post they are owed money by the firm's owner Paul Harris after leaving their possessions with him to be restored or reupholstered.
The customers say work on their furniture was either not completed on time or not carried out at all.
Some have demanded their furniture back but not received it while others have been awarded compensation by a judge at the small claims court. Some of them say they have been left with no option but to fork out again to have their furniture restored elsewhere.
The firm's customers who spoke to The Post believe more should be done by Bristol City Council's trading standards team to stop Mr Harris trading.
Customers contacted The Post after reading about the plight of Nicholas and Glenys Dunning, who are waiting to have their conservatory furniture restored more than 14 months after paying Mr Harris £300.
Mr and Mrs Dunning, who live in Coalpit Heath, were awarded £1,890 in compensation after he failed to carry out the work but have not received a penny.
In response, Mr Harris said his elderly mother had recently passed away and that he had needed money to pay for her funeral.
Of the latest complaints, he said his business had been through a difficult year last year, when he lost a member of staff and there was a lack of support from his bank.
His customers Liz and Richard Davies, from Downend, say they do not believe Mr Harris should still be trading.
Mrs Davies, a conference organiser, paid him £1,500 in February 2011 to have five pieces of furniture restored.
Nineteen months later, she claimed went to his shop to reclaim her furniture to find one sofa and one chair "in shreds" and her antique chair missing.
Two years on and she says she has still not had her antique Edwardian armchair back and is still owed £100, after Mr Harris paid her £1,400 back in instalments.
Mrs Davies said: "I don't think he should be able to be in business. Trading standards said they couldn't prevent him trading and that all they could do was tell him he needs to improve his practises and monitor him."
Eileen Love and her husband Philip paid a £800 deposit to Mr Harris to have new loose covers fitted to two sofas last July.
They have not received their sofas or their money back.
Mrs Love, who lives in Knowle, said Mr Harris had promised the work would be finished by the end of December.
She said: "I'm just desperate now and don't know what to do. I went to the police but they said it was a civil matter and couldn't get involved."
Ken and Mary Pitman, of Bishopsworth, took Mr Harris to court after entrusting Bobbie Burns with a three-piece suite they bought when they got married in 1962.
As a golden wedding anniversary present to each other they wanted it re-covered, paying Mr Harris £1,300 for materials in March last year.
They say after a catalogue of excuses and delays, they took him to the small claims court and were awarded a full refund plus the cost of instructing another upholster to put right their 'butchered' suite.
Mr Pitman, 74, said: "We went down to the shop to take it away and had it re-covered elsewhere in July.
"He was just taking the mickey. We went to the small claims court and he said he would pay by January but he'd never paid anything.
"When we were told we had been wronged, we were happy with the verdict but nobody is doing anything about it. We would have to pay more money to get bailiffs in or take him to court again."
Carol and Michael Tutton, of Bedminster, were also let down by Bobbie Burns.
They paid Mr Harris £1,500 to work on their three-piece suite in August last year, telling the couple it would take two weeks.
When they eventually got their furniture back in October, the work on it had not been completed. Mr Harris has so far refunded them £600.
He said: "We paid another company £3,200 to get it done. I'm absolutely gutted and am absolutely fuming.
"I think Trading Standards are rubbish and all they seem to do is advise us. Now we are at the point where we have to sue him and pay out more money – it just seems pointless."
Ryan Ball, managing director of rival firm South West Upholstery, based in Hengrove, said five or six customers who had been left disappointed by Bobbie Burns came to him to have work carried out on their furniture.
The council's trading standards team says it has no powers to stop a business from trading. Only a customer can pursue a breach of civil or consumer legislation through the County Court.
The department said customers should check whether a business or individual has a history of unsatisfied County Court judgements before handing over a large deposit and possessions.
Council spokesman James Easey said: "We are obviously aware of dissatisfied consumers and trading standards are working hard to ensure future compliance by the business and assurances that future customers are treated fairly and within the law.
"This work involves acting in the collective interests of consumers by ensuring the business trades fairly."
Mr Harris accused customers of his of 'jumping on the bandwagon' by contacting The Post after Mr and Mrs Dunning's story had appeared in the paper.
He said: "What it's done is wreck the whole business.
"All these people are coming forward and it's all to do with money. Since the article appeared, people don't come here anymore.
"I've done a lot of good work for a lot of people and I can sort these problems out myself.
"If these people come forward and it goes in the paper, these people won't get anything back because I will have had it.
"These people would be better off bearing with me as best they can. They will end up with nothing if I go bust."
Of Mr and Mrs Davies' work, Mr Harris said he owed the couple £100 and added that their antique chair had been stolen from his shop.
Of Mr and Mrs Love's case, he said he needed to recruit a subcontractor the job to get it completed.
Of Mr and Mrs Pitman's job, he said he had been given an extension until April to pay the money owed to them.
Of Mr and Mrs Tutton's case, he said he had agreed to pay the couple £100 a week.
Mr Harris, who said his name was now 'mud', said: "I had a bad year last year because of a lack of funds and losing my mum and one thing after the other.
"A chap who worked for us left and it was a case of not having the right staff at the right time. With the bank, we used to have an overdraft but they wouldn't help me anymore. I have had to be self-sufficient."

It was a relationship that didn't work out, a break up like any relationship mono, poly and anything in between.

Love & Light,

Thanks!!
Love & Light,
So anyway, it's a BIG learning process. My oldest child is 13, and he gave our partner a very hard time for the first few months - but that turned out to be a reaction to the disrespect his dad was showing him, rather than something DP has actually done. Just further proof that you sometimes have to dig to find the root of the feeling!
I've been poly since I was 19. (I mean, that's when I understood my orientation.) I'm really glad I figured it out at an early age and accepted that it might break up the relationship I was in...w/someone who was intrigued by poly but very keen on monogamous marriage as his ultimate goal. We had other problems as well, and I think if I'd stayed w/him I might be happy enough to get by but wouldn't have grown as much or enjoyed my life as much as I have now.
Basically, if it were up to me I'd be having sex (at least occasionally) w/all my male friends. It isn't up to me: Some of them are in closed relationships, and some don't like the idea of having a sex partner who doesn't make him her one-and-only. So, I've sometimes had 2 simultaneous serious relationships, and I've had up to 4 "friends I occasionally play with" at one time. EnviroDaddy and I have been together 11 years now; he started as a friend and gradually became my main man. He'd like to have other partners but doesn't want that enough to put a lot of effort into it, and nobody's come along for him since we got together. Sometimes I daydream about the ideal girlfriend for him, who would be my friend too. (He and I both are straight.)
When we were getting ready to TTC, I was involved w/another man long-distance (weekend visits once a month or so) who was dating very actively. I was beginning to realize that he and I had very different ideas about how our relationship was "supposed" to work, partly due to his having never had a really long-term or living-together relationship and having lots of experience dating as an adult, whereas I haven't done any dating (like, going out w/someone I don't really know yet to see if we get along well enough to have sex) since I was in college. We probably could've worked it out if we'd both been really motivated...but he felt there was no point since he wouldn't get me all to himself no matter what he did, and the complications of continuing to be w/him while TTC were obvious!
So, for nearly 2 years of TTC followed by pregnancy, I wasn't w/anyone but EnviroDaddy and felt fine about that. I kind of figured that while I was BFing and preoccupied w/mothering a young child, nobody would be interested in me and I wouldn't have time anyway.
Well...we have a friend w/whom I'd spent 1 night about 5 years ago (I needed to sleep elsewhere due to household disaster when EnviroDaddy was out of town; friend and I fooled around as well as sleeping) but he'd never initiated a repeat. When baby was about 3 months old, friend started calling more often than usual, asking me to come over sometime because he really wanted to talk to me. I said, "Gee, I'll try, but I'm busy, I'm BFing, I dunno..." When baby was 5 months, EnviroDaddy suggested that I take a Sat. afternoon off, take my breastpump, and go visit our friend. Turns out our friend has a thing for mothers! He thinks stretch marks and milky breasts and such are REALLY HOT. I had no idea. He did want to talk to me (about something unrelated) but also wanted to have some fun. Not only was this an opportunity for me to enjoy without worrying about when baby would wake, but I realized: EnviroDaddy had been admiring my body saying, "Oh good, you're almost back to the way you were," but my friend was admiring my body saying, "Oh good, NOW YOU ARE THE WAY YOU ARE." It blew my mind! I hadn't realized I needed to hear that!
That's the great thing about polyamory, IMO: You can have a solid relationship that fulfills enough of your needs that you feel pretty happy, and ALSO, without harming said relationship, you can explore what other people have to offer, which is sometimes a great benefit.
Ideally, we hope to find the couple of our dreams (another partner for each of us) who have a child or two. I feel sad thinking of EnviroBaby being the only child in the family, but there are many practical reasons why we feel that we two parents shouldn't have more kids...but if there were more parents, that would be cool! I'd be willing to consider a polyfidelitous arrangement, but I prefer to have things "open" in case good opportunities come along and because I just don't see a good philosophical reason to have a "closed" relationship.
Anyway, that's my story! As far as what we'll tell our kid, it depends on what's going on when he's old enough to notice, but we hope to convey the idea that love is not something to be jealously hoarded. I managed to get that idea even from my monogamous married parents (who BTW are horrified that I did because that's not what they meant to teach me!) so I think it'll be easy. We'll see...

Sharlla, I don't ever go out looking for others. We tend to run into people in everyday life. Our dream is isn't a triad so that may be why we are so easy going. We like networks - loose connections that allow everyone to do their own thing within reason.
Dh currently has 2 girlfriends who he sees very rarely because of everyone's schedules and I have been cultivating a new friendship that is very promising and looks like it will move in a new direction as time goes by.

Right now, my libido is lower than normal, between BFing and general lack of sleep.

I don't really want to have a live-together quad or triad sort of setup--I have a hard time living with just DH and kids! But I'd like to have some steady partners ... and I would really love for DH to have a steady male lover, something he misses, but it seems to be rather more difficult to find that a bi female lover for me/us!
our third moved back to her home state to complete her education, and i miss her! it was so wonderful going through most of my pregnancy with another woman, my husband was understanding but there are some things only a woman can feel, you know? i also miss her because she was a nanny, can't find a more perfect girlfriend than that i would be so happy in a triad, i'm not one to find something on the side.

We've been poly 3 years. I've been in an LDR with a guy in Toronto for 2 years. Dh has had a couple of attempts at relationships with women who turned out to be various shades of unhinged, plus some unserious flings. He has bad luck, and I'm shy, so this all hasn't been going quite as planned. Of course, the utopian plan is to find a woman who's near my bf that we all get along with and form the perfect quad, but I don't believe life's gonna throw that at us anytime soon.
bjorker: try okcupid.com? It's the best matchmaker site I've found so far, and even if you don't find someone on there, the quizzes are lots of fun.
I'll get there... it's a slow process.
Thanks though Good luck in your quest!
I'm married, love my DH to bits. But....you know???
He's not open to it...
It's hard to explain...really....
I am bi-curious, and have had a few experiences with females, enjoyed it....
: I dunno...I'm wierd....I can't articulate it properly because I don't know how....
one thing that makes me sad is the fact that john considers himself poly, and would like to have a poly family, with BOTH of us being involved. i just don't see it happening, but i don't want to squash his dream flat. i mean, i'm 45, and have never met any real-life bi women or men. i have no interest in men at all, with the exception of john. and not a soul is ever going to know about my interest in women, least of all any women.
Glad to see this thread as well. Dh and I are both bi and have made attempts at relationships in the past but nothing has ever worked out. We've found that lots of folks talk about relationships but all they really want to do is play. Also, its hard to find others with kids and for us anyway, its hard to relate to non-parents.
We stayed in the scene, but slowed down, while I was pg with dd and just recently have started to get back in the swing of things. Dh met someone, a friend of a friend, and they have really hit it off. This guy and his girlfriend came over for dinner and brought their ds night before last and we all had a great time. The kids hit it off and she and I got along great! I've already met the guy and he's wonderful. So, we'll see. If nothing else, we've found some great, like-minded friends.
I'm wondering about how folks have become active after having babies. Like I mentioned in my previous post, we'd very much like to find a couple who we click with, a regular thing. But we also do like to just play some. We are members of a local private club and enjoy evenings out there.
We went out once together when gma was in town a few weeks ago. Had a fabulous time, danced, talked, played, just really let loose. It was incredible. Then last Saturday I went by myself. It was a fetish night and I got all dressed up in my finest. I felt incredible heading out.... I only stayed for about an hour. I felt lonely and woefully out of place. It was such a bizzare feeling. I'm one of those people who can walk into a room full of strangers and make friends instantly. I was with people I've known and enjoyed for at least a couple of years and felt so out of place. When I got home dh was waiting up for me and I just broke down crying. After talking through it I decided that I simply wasn't ready to go out on my own. I felt like I should be home with my baby but I wanted to be out.
And so that leaves me torn....
I'm so ready to be active again. My sex-drive and desire are as high as ever. Including others in our life hightens the intimacy between the two of us - I'm sure you can all understand this. Dd is just too young for us to go out, which is really fine as clubs aren't our favorite way to be involved with others, but it is fun and sometimes the only alternative.
So....anyone want to share some experiences on keeping your non-vanilla lifestyle alive after a baby break?
So, He IS open to it. heck his opening line to the convo was "Let's address this elephant in the room shall we?"
It appears that my ignorance has caused/is causing John to suffer. I am open-minded, to be sure, and want him to feel free to explore however he wishes. But it's been very hard for me to get into any of it. I feel like my sexual development was arrested at 14 or so, when you giggle and snicker at anything to do with sex. Like it's just for adults, and I don't feel like I'm an adult yet. (I'm 45.)
Anyway, the point of my post is to say that John wants to get into some of this stuff, and I want him to have the freedom to do so, but I don't feel like I can be part of it. Having a 2 year old, not being willing to use babysitters, and having a small trailer to live in rather complicates things in that respect. And we're getting older and less functional; John is 52, and having some issues with impotence, so I feel like he doesn't have a lot of time to wait until I'm "ready". Has anyone else ever felt like this? I love John, and want him to be happy and enjoy life. He's poly at heart; me, I don't think I'm capable of it.... I've only ever been in love once in my entire life, and that's with him.
|Including others in our life hightens the intimacy between the two of us - I'm sure you can all understand this.
Maigheach, it isn't unusual for one partner in a relationship to have additional relationships while the other doesn't. It's worked out that way for us by circumstance, but we know some couples in which (as one of them put it) "If you draw a diagram, he's an intersection, and I'm an endpoint." It's a fine arrangement as long as both of you are happy. If you are comfortable being supportive of John's involvement w/other women, tell him to go for it!

Miss Emma is doing beautifully. Right now she's dozing in her bouncy seat while I peruse *my* boards and catch up the laundry. She truly is blooming and is such a peaceful, loving baby. Just holding her takes away all the stress and makes the world feel more right. And I'm not the only one who says so, so it's not all mamma pride. She is just as comfortable and happy as can be most of the time. Except maybe at her four am feeding. That's the one that usually takes us a while to wake for. {i'm not blessed with mama radar and don't pop awake the minute one of the girls rolls over or whines} The other girls are doing alright. They are having adjustment issues due to the rapid changes, but now that we are in a more peaceful enviroment, they are starting to make alot of progress.
As for our tri-union... as I said, we've resolved alot of our issues, and things are going so much better. We need to talk alot more, but things are on the right track. I'm in the process of trying to find vows for to dedicate to them, or at least ideas... C and I are still planning to divorce legally, since it's not a matter of *if* Tony is going to get deployed, but when. His hitch isn't up til 2008, so we know it's going to happen. And when it does, he wants the kids and I protected. Which to him means making our union the legal one so that the girls and I are entitled to TriCare, and if the worst happens, that we'll have enough to get by on and put the girls thru school...

Outcomes Assessment
Slide 13 of 26
Increased accountability pressures on higher education stem from concerns about the use of publicly invested funds. In several states legislatures have mandated that institutions of higher learning provide them with indicators of their success. However, this has often led to measuring what matters least and neglecting the most essential traditions of higher education.
If we do not try to shape our own destiny by determining how we want to assess ourselves for our own improvement we risk greater intrusion. Banta & Associates (1993) assert that evidence collected for improvement has the potential to improve educational programs, but evidence collected for accountability does not generate information that is useful to the institution nor the external public.
These nine principles highlight the kinds of characteristics that can assist in making the assessment process effective.

"Without doubt one of the godfathers of British horror" - Michael Wilson, This Is Horror
"One of the most provocative and unsettling of contemporary writers" - Andy Hedgecock (Asst Fiction Editor, Interzone)
"A master craftsman" - Dark Musings
"One of the most ingenious practitioners of the horrific at work today" - Barry Forshaw, Crime Time
"Ghost writer extraordinaire" - SFX magazine
"One of the UK's leading exponents of the short form" - Peter Tennant, Black Static
Stephen Volk is the BAFTA and British Fantasy Award-winning writer of ITV's paranormal drama series Afterlife starring Lesley Sharp and Andrew Lincoln, and the notorious (some say legendary) BBCTV "Halloween hoax" Ghostwatch, which spooked the nation, hit the headlines, and caused questions to be raised in Parliament.
He has just adapted Phil Rickman's Midwinter of the Spirit for ITV, starring Anna Maxwell Martin and David Thelfall, currently shooting in Hereford, while his most recent feature film was The Awakening, a period ghost story starring Rebecca Hall, Dominic West and Imelda Staunton for BBC Films/StudioCanal. On stage, play at The Bush Theatre, The Chapel of Unrest, starred Jim Broadbent and Reece Shearsmith, premiered in 2013.
His first produced screenplay was Ken Russell's Gothic, a trippy retelling of the Mary Shelley/ Frankenstein story starring Gabriel Byrne, Natasha Richardson and Timothy Spall. His other scripts since then include The Guardian, directed and co-written by William (The Exorcist) Friedkin; Superstition starring Mark Strong and Charlotte Rampling; and Octane starring Madeleine Stowe, Norman Reedus and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. For television, he has written for Channel 4's Shockers and BBC1's Ghosts. He also won a British Academy Award (BAFTA) for his short film script The Deadness of Dad starring Rhys Ifans.
His first collection of short stories, Dark Corners, was published by Gray Friar Press in 2006, from which his story 31/10 (a sequel to Ghostwatch) was shortlisted for both a British Fantasy and a HWA Bram Stoker Award. More recently his novella Vardoger was shortlisted for both a Shirley Jackson Award and a British Fantasy Award and his stories have been selected for Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, Best British Mysteries, and Best New Horror with two stories appearing in the inaugural edition of Salt's Best British Horror 2014. He also writes a regular comment piece for the magazine Black Static, called "Coffinmaker's Blues".
His most acclaimed fiction so far is the novella Whitstable - featuring the late horror star Peter Cushing and published by Spectral Press in 2013, the actor's centenary year. Also published in 2013 was his second story collection, Monsters in the Heart (Gray Friar Press) which won Best Collection at the British Fantasy Awards 2014 (Whitstable was also a finalist for Best Novella). His third collection, entitled The Parts We Play, will be published in 2016 by PS Publishing.
Before becoming a full-time writer he worked as an advertising copywriter, notably for Ogilvy Benson and Mather, winning a Silver Lion, IPA Effectiveness in Advertising Award and two Design & Art Direction Awards. Before that, he studied Graphic Design at Coventry College of Art and was a winner of the BBC/UNESCO/ICOGRADA/ASIFA International Animated Film Contest, subsequent to which he gained a postgraduate certificate with distinction in Radio Film and Television at Bristol University's Department of Drama.
He was born in Pontypridd, South Wales, and now lives in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, with his wife, the sculptor Patricia Volk, and a cat he doesn't like.

|Oakfield - Functions of inspiration & Itegrity
Every bride deserves to fulfil her dream. Since 1991, this award-winning venue has led the industry with brilliant ideas, outstanding cuisine and superior service. This historic old farm enjoys a compelling sense of timeless beauty, typical of a bygone era when people had time for one another.
Most important of all, we want not only your wedding day to be perfect, but also the preparation. As leaders in the industry, it gives us great pleasure to share many years of experience and every couple who visit us is given a complimentary copy of our full colour Inspired Bride magazine- an "a" to "z" guide - that will assist you in planning your perfect day.
Over the past ten years, many of the old buildings have been restored and renovated, to provide three magnificent function venues, conference facilities and of course, the charming Chapel and elegant Conservatory for our wedding ceremonies.
Visit our website www.oakfield.co.za
|The Gardens at Oakfield Farm are the product of many years of love and care. Many of the trees are over 100 years
old and were planted by gardeners who would enjoy the shade of these magnificent
Some of the rose gardens have roses whose names have long been forgotten but still grace many of the beautiful pictures. Today the gardens are the first choice of many of South Africa's leading photographers and are the essence of Oakfield farm.
|The Oakfield Chapel set amongst
Cottonwood trees, at the source of the freshwater spring and on the edge of the
forest, offers an intimate setting for your service. The Chapel is consecrated and
can seat up to 160 guests. Railway sleeper pews, wrought iron chandeliers and stained
glass windows provide an atmosphere of rustic elegance, synonymous to Oakfield Farm.
The arrival of the bride in the horse-drawn carriage is an exciting and special moment for all. The bridge in the forest leading to the Chapel, is the perfect backdrop for group photographs after your service. The Chapel epitomises the homeliness of Oakfield Farm. It is our aim to make our guests feel completely at home, and enjoy the lovely surroundings away from the pressures of everyday life.
|The Conservatory –
Distinctive Architecture.
The original "Orchid House" has been redesigned, creating a setting unique to Oakfield Farm. The Conservatory has been designed with the photographer and videographer in mind and extensive glass embedded in the roof give excellent natural light. The Conservatory can seat up to 300 guests and is ideal for larger services.
It is a versatile setting in that it allows you the opportunity to have your service amidst the guests or traditionally at the altar. The horse-drawn carriage is able to drive through the Conservatory making for a spectacular grand entrance for the bride and her retinue.
|The Summerhouse –
Bringing the garden into the venue.
The light spilling through the glass gable ends onto the old-fashioned scissor beams make the venue quite different from the Homestead.
In fine weather, the specially designed glass sliding doors open onto the garden on three sides to create the feeling that you are well and truly in the country surrounded be English country gardens. Extensive use of wood, chandeliers filled with candles and two attractive fireplaces provide a cosy and intimate atmosphere in the colder months.
A bonfire will be lit outdoors for added warmth and atmosphere. The architecture of the Summerhouse enables a wide range of floor plans to be used. Functions of 30 guests for an intimate wedding will feel comfortable as will a gracious function of 140 guests if the veranda is used.
|The Homestead
originally the old barn, was restored in 1991. The building has been completely refurbished. Eight huge glass skylights bring natural light into the venue. Bay windows and sliding wooden doors bring the garden into the venue. Two lovely expansive verandahs with Colonial leather sofas open on to wooden decks which overlook the "Zevenfontein" spring and indigenous woodlands. The glass roof of the underground wine cellar displays an extensive range of fine wines. More than 150 glass candles create a soft and romantic ambience to compliment the elegant table settings. This versatile venue in design allows for a wide range of seating options. These may include Oakfield's unique 16 seater banqueting tables, which make the wedding feel like the banquet it is meant to be. The venue includes a large sprung wooden dance floor.
|The Dairy
is utterly unique. On their way to the dedicated parking area, your guests will feel the stress and tension of the city dissipate as they are captivated by the charm of The Dairy and the farm life of yesteryear that it embraces. The atmosphere is laid back and homely with the option of a beautiful garden wedding with stunning Highveld sunsets. Although perfectly laid out with all the necessities for a perfect function such as the bar, cocktail lounge and dance floor; The Dairy retains its authenticity with the original dung sluices covered with glass panels and the step-up to the pasteurising machine.
Unfortunately, the original food troughs had to make way to accommodate the varied floor plans that make every function distinct.
|Bridal Retinue Dressing
Oakfield dressing rooms have been built for the bride and her retinue to dress and are available from 08h30 to midnight. They are specifically located at each venue and also include a small and private garden. The reasons are obvious. Not only does this allow the bride to participate and enjoy the decorating of the venue, it also enables the retinue to be kept up to date as to the wedding plans unfolding. Skylights in the roof provide for natural light for the make up artist and instead of beds large tables and comfortable seating for a sizeable retinue is available. The dressing rooms include spa facilities, baths and showers. The room is air-conditioned. Gowns and Slippers are provided for the wedding party at a nominal cost.
|The Bridal Suites
at Oakfield Farm offer absolute privacy for the newlyweds where they can enjoy each others company in a beautiful and tranquil setting. The 5-star bridal suites have everything to make your honeymoon night comfortable including king size beds, air-conditioning and a private bar. The creative flair that you can expect from Oakfield is evident in these beautiful suites. After a soothing steam bath, enjoy an invigorating shower together or lie back in a hot bath under the stars.
|The Oakfield Guest
is conveniently situated near the entrance to the farm, nestling in-between the old Oak trees. As with all our facilities, we have endeavoured to maintain our reputation for hospitality with an elegant yet homely touch. The Guest House is able to accommodate 12 guests. Most clients book the guest house exclusively for their wedding. A delicious breakfast is enjoyed in our dining room or the garden. There the family are able to spend some quality time together. Couples are invited to book the guest house before the wedding so that there is no travelling on the day.

Starkey, a world leader in the design, development and distribution of comprehensive hearing solutions, helps people reconnect
This content was last reviewed on: July 7th, 2014
Starkey is a global hearing aid manufacturer that provides stellar customer service with individualized attention, American-made craftsmanship and pioneering research and development work to ensure that they can continue to help people around the world hear to their fullest potential. Starkey also owns Omni, Qualitone and Nu-Ear and sells hearing aids and other assistive auditory devices under these brands. The company's charity - Starkey Hearing Foundation - provides hearing tests and hearing aids to people worldwide who cannot afford these essential services and devices.
History of Starkey Hearing Technologies
Like most proven brands, Starkey has a long history of innovation and development that allowed it to become a proven, trusted provider of hearing aid solutions. In 1967, after pursuing medical school at the University of Minnesota and then working in his uncle's company, The Minnesota Hearing Aid Center, William Austin opened a hearing aid repair shop in St. Louis Park - a suburb of Minnesota - called Professional Hearing Aid Service.
Austin proved an excellent businessman, offering hearing aid repairs for a flat fee, and Professional Hearing Aid Service's good work allowed the company to flourish. In fact, by 1969, the center had more than 30 employees and was a prominent contender in the Twin Cities for hearing aid fittings and repairs.
But Austin wanted to develop new technologies to improve hearing aids, so he bought a small three-person laboratory, Starkey, in 1971, and he renamed his company Starkey Laboratories, Inc. The researchers here had developed the first inner ear molds, and Austin knew that the next step in hearing aid technology would be to develop a less noticeable hearing aid so more people would wear them. He knew successful ear molds could help his cause.
Indeed, by 1975, Starkey had made the first ever in-the-ear canal hearing aid and offered them to customers with a guaranteed trial period, which became an industry standard. That same year, Starkey bought a new 13-acre campus in Eden Prairie, Minn., to account for the company's growing size. By 1975, Starkey had become a world leader in custom-designed hearing devices and had profited by $6 million.
Starkey opened its first subsidiary in Manchester, England, in 1976 and continued opening more in the next five years. In 1977, Starkey began its first outreach initiatives, including the CARE program to educate people about how restorative technology could improve their hearing and thus their lives. The Starkey Foundation began in 1978 with recycling hearing aids and then evolved in providing hearing aids and financial resources to needy people with hearing loss around the world.
1980 and Onward
The 1980s brought even more prosperity to Starkey. Aside from continuing to expand around the globe, the company also developed the first inter-ear canal hearing aid in 1983 - called the CE-5 Series. The most high-profile user of this hearing aid was President Ronald Reagan, and when he revealed he was fitted with the CE-5 Series, sales soared.
In the early and mid-1980s, Starkey was able to buy out several of its competitors. It also began another round of global expansion in the mid-to-late-1980s, opening facilities in Sydney, Australia; Marin, Switzerland; Budapest, Hungary and several other locations around the United States.
Starkey was ranked No. 1 in the world for its ability to repair all types of hearing aids in 1990. In a quest to further develop new hearing devices, Starkey opened a new lab in Tokyo in the early 1990s and worked to produce digital hearing aids. In 1993, Starkey released a hearing aid that was the first to fit entirely in the canal, called the Tympanette. It was the smallest and most popular completely in-the-canal aid in the early 1990s.
In 1995, it opened another lab in Auckland, New Zealand, and Suzhou, China, in an attempt to harness the tech knowledge of experts around the world. By the late 1990s, Starkey was also in Warsaw, Oslo, Stockholm Seoul, Matamoros and Prague, and it had developed a few successful lines of digital hearing aids based upon amplification research.
By the 2000s, Starkey was one of the most established hearing aid company in the world due to good research, sound business practices and an eye toward the future. The revolutionary Genesis hearing aid line was developed in 2001, and the Destiny - which virtually eliminated all feedback - was on the market in 2006.
Today, Starkey is just as respected as ever and has developed the SurfLink Mobile for hands-free cell phone use,as well as various other innovative technologies.
Hearing Aids
Starkey offers a wide range of products, including everything from behind-the-ear hearing aids to "invisible"hearing aids, which are very small and fit completely in the canal. They offer special solutions for children, veterans, those with tinnitus and people who want advanced wireless hearing aids. Starkey also offers hearing protection solutions and superb customer service and trouble-shooting help.
What sets them apart
Starkey's motto is "Hearing is our concern," and it prides itself on innovation, customer service and patient-centered services, craftsmanship and philanthropy.
Starkey has continually done research and development to propel the industry forward and improve hearing for people around the world. In fact, Starkey was founded and took off as a company on William Austin's desire to develop a hearing aid that people would feel more comfortable and confident wearing, and he did: the industry's first in-canal device.
However, Starkey is not committed to technology for technology's sake. It recognizes that people have different needs, and not everyone needs or wants the most advanced hearing aid technologies in the world. The company innovates but also works to improve hearing at every turn, since that's what it's all about.
Many of Starkey's devices are made in the U.S., so you can feel good purchasing a high-quality domestic product. They're also made by hand and designed with human anatomy in mind.
Finally, Starkey has gone above and beyond since 1984 to make people's lives better through the Starkey Hearing Foundation. With the foundation's support, more than 100,000 hearing aids are given on more than 100 global hearing missions each year.

Air Management
Alcoa Point Henry monitors and reports on a range of emissions to air including fluoride, dust and particulate, greenhouse gases and sulphur dioxide. The
Environmental Improvement Plan
outlines Alcoa Point Henry's approach and strategy for management of emissions to air.
Significant Investments and Achievements
Bakes Sustainability Project
Alcoa Point Henry's $89 million
carbon bake upgrade
was commissioned in late 2007.
The project marked a key milestone for the ongoing sustainability of Alcoa's Point Henry operations and is one of the most significant investments by the company in Victoria for over 15 years. The upgrade has helped maintain production levels and significantly improved environmental performance.
The project has delivered significant reductions by optimising combustion efficiency during the carbon bake anode process.
The fume treatment centre called the carbon bake scrubber was also upgraded as part of the project. The new scrubber now provides more capacity to enable major maintenance to be carried out over the life of the rebuilt furnace, without having to take the whole scrubber offline. The end result has seen large scale reductions in particulates and PAHs exiting the scrubber.
Greenmill Fume System Upgrade
The upgrade of the smelter's Greenmill Fume System was commissioned in September 2011. The new system collects all the emissions from the Green Mill process, filtering them, before returning the material back into the process.
The $16 million project was managed in partnership with Worley Parsons and Denieli Corus.
The system continues to improve our environmental performance and ensures we remain an environmental benchmark for other smelters around the world. The upgrade meets the environmental performance obligation under the State Environment Protection Policy (SEPP) of "maximum extent achievable" for class 3 emissions from green mills in an aluminium smelter.
It plays an important role in continuing to reduce emissions as well as helping to ensure we stay globally competitive.
Sulphur Dioxide Management Upgrade
As part of ongoing environmental improvement plans, the smelter's fume system will be upgraded in line with Alcoa's broader sulphur dioxide management strategy. The Sulphur Dioxide Management Project will improve sulphur dioxide ground level concentrations in and around the Point Henry Smelter and support the sustainability of our operations. It follows the site's voluntary reduction in emission limits of sulphur dioxide in 2004. The project involves Alcoa increasing the height of discharge points via two tall stacks.
Works commenced in 2010 with the project due for completion in 2013.
Progress update - July 2013
Following the completion of the 'Point Henry smelter review' in June 2012, Alcoa developed new timelines for the implementation of the project. In line with EPA requirements, Alcoa is has developed a management plan for the interim period. In June 2013 Alcoa submitted an update to the EPA which will be presented to the Community Advisory Board in August.
Fluoride Reductions
Since 2002 fluoride emissions have reduced by more than 75% at Point Henry. Focused operational practices such as pot coverage and draft optimisation ensure fluoride is extracted effectively to the fume scrubbing system.
The implementation of real time lasers costing $800,000 is also a valuable technique to instantaneously monitor fluoride levels in the Potrooms.

The fume treatment centre, called the carbon bake scrubber, was upgraded in 2007 as part of the $89million carbon bake upgrade and has led to large scale reductions in particulates and PAHs exiting the scrubber.

Men at grumpiest when they turn 70
A new survey has revealed that men are at their grumpiest when they hit 70.
Until the age of 65 experts believe that men become better at shrugging off stress and anxiety the older that they get.
Four-fifths told researchers the difficulties that they encountered from the age of 50 receded but then upped again after 70, the Daily Star reported.
20 per cent reported a surge in happiness from retirement age until 70, then they too experienced a downturn.
Professor Carolyn Aldwin, of Oregon State University, said that once people turn 70, how they react to these hassles changes and may be dependent on their resources or their situation in life.
The study looked at 1,315 men aged 53 to 85.
The study has been published in the journal Psychology and Ageing.

Jim Leyland takes the ball from Jose Valverde after yielding four runs in the ninth inning Saturday in New York. / JULIAN H. GONZALEZ/DFP
NEW YORK -- Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland said today that he has temporarily taken struggling Jose Valverde out of the closers role.
Leyland said he still considers Valverde the closer, but he gave no timetable for his return to the role.
He acknowledged that it can be especially tough to put a struggling closer back in that role in the postseason because there is so little margin for error in a short series.
Leyland named no full-time replacement as closer. To do so would be to take another reliever out of his current role, and he doesnt want to impose that automatic disruption on the bullpen. He said he will wait and see how the game goes.
For example, he might need Phil Coke to get a left-handed hitter out in the seventh. But if Coke is available in the ninth, he theoretically could close.
Leyland emphasized that Valverde remains a viable member of the 11-man pitching staff, expected to contribute in some way.
We cant go with a 10-man pitching staff, Leyland said. We need Jose Valverde.
Because of that, it makes no sense to deflate Valverdes confidence by saying hell never close again in this postseason.
Valverde has given up the last seven runs allowed by the Tigers -- three in his blown save on Wednesday night in Oakland, and four in his relinquishing of a four-run lead in the ninth on Saturday. Despite those performances, the Tigers won the series in Oakland and won Saturday nights Game 1.
"In my heart, I definitely believed was a perfect time to get him right back to the mound with the little extra comfort of a four-run lead," Leyland said. "Obviously, it didn't work. I was wrong."
Leyland said Valverdes delivery is too slow and that he will work with pitching coach Jeff Jones on that. Leyland also said Valverde looks like he expects something bad to happen.
But Leyland emphasized that Valverde has blown only five regular-season saves over the last two seasons. All those came this year after his perfect 49-for-49 last year.
Valverde then saved three more games in the playoffs, including the epic Game 5 at Yankee Stadium. After that game, Leyland said he wanted to kiss Valverde.
Today at Yankee Stadium, Leyland had to demote him.

Going to the Final 4 in Indianopolis
by Waleed Coyote
posted Apr 2 2010 4:55PM
First thing after the radio we at the club, then I pack my bags and go to catch this flight to Indianopolis, for the final 4! Now I am a die hard Carolina fan, but I will pull for Duke! I am not pulling for duke because they are in the ACC, but rather beacuse my best friend Skip (r.i.p) growing up he was a huge Duke fan and we would argue all the time almost bout to get into a fight! After he passed away a few years ago I found myself looking at basketball different and how ironic that when my brother told me that we had tickets to final four I was excited, now how ironic the game will be without Carolina so I will for NC anyway and Skip and pull for the Devils LoL Stay tuned for the footage from the Weeekend!

Interpol issues alert for British terror widow
Posted By jwilson On September 26, 2013 @ 5:08 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World at War | Comments Disabled
Cassandra Vinograd

September 26, 2013
The tabloids call her "the white widow," a British-born Muslim convert who was married to one of the suicide bombers in the 2005 attack on London's transit system. And for days now, the British media have been rife with speculation she took part in the terrorist takeover at a Nairobi shopping mall.
On Thursday, Interpol, acting at Kenya's request, issued an arrest notice for 29-year-old fugitive Samantha Lewthwaite — not in connection with the mall attack, but over a 2011 plot to bomb holiday resorts in Kenya.
If Lewthwaite indeed embraced the jihadi cause, it would mark a chilling turnaround for the apparently grieving widow who originally condemned the London transit bombings and criticized her late husband, Jermaine Lindsay, for taking part.

While most interns are clocking in at work sporting suits, ties and heels, psychology major Karah Alexander, C'2015, and Zenobya Clark, C'2017, are spending their summer getting dirty at the intensive and highly selective Veterinary Enrichment Summer Program at the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine.
Known as Vetward Bound, this seven-week program provides academic reinforcement for underrepresented undergraduate students with an interest in veterinary medicine. Clark and Alexander attend special seminars and take classes like organic chemistry and farm animal production to help prepare them for veterinary school.
Outside the classroom, the two are learning about farm animal care, touring veterinary pathology labs and the fish hatchery, and gaining insight into the practice of large animal exotic medicine at the Detroit Zoo. In addition to exploring the city of East Lansing, the pair will also have the opportunity to visit an alligator farm to learn the process of tagging alligators.

GOD'S CURE for the POST-CHRISTIAN SYNDROME: Western Europe
Paperback, 83 Pages
Price: $4.16
Ships in 3-5 business days
For decades, nations in Western Europe, the United States, Australia, and Canada have been in a spiritual wilderness described by Malachi in the Bible. We can see that God inspired Malachi to speak to his situation so that God also speaks to believers in certain nations today. These nations are often called "Post-Christian" because they were exposed to a weak Christianity for generations, but now have turned away from it and its God with disdain. The spiritually dry wilderness in the land is aptly called a "syndrome": a group of symptoms of an illness with a poorly seen cause. Malachi provides God's revelation of the syndrome's cause, symptoms, and His cure through His people. Believers can be awed by the enormity of their problem, but also highly encouraged by seeing that God is preparing His people to provide a great cure for their own hardened land: a special "day" in which He will release prepared believers in Jesus to minister to people with...

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreMany applications in science and engineering require a digital model of a real physical object. Advanced scanning technology has made it possible to scan such objects and generate point samples on their boundaries. This book, first published in 2007, shows how to compute a digital model from this point sample. After developing the basics of sampling theory and its connections to various geometric and topological properties, the author describes a suite of algorithms that have been designed for the reconstruction problem, including algorithms for surface reconstruction from dense samples, from samples that are not adequately dense and from noisy samples. Voronoi- and Delaunay-based techniques, implicit surface-based methods and Morse theory-based methods are covered. Scientists and engineers working in drug design, medical imaging, CAD, GIS, and many other areas will benefit from this first book on the subject. less

South Carolina Sues Justice Department Over Voter-ID Law Block
South Carolina sued the U.S. Justice Department over its decision to block a law requiring voters to show photo identification at polls, the state's attorney general said.
The Justice Department said in December that it was blocking the South Carolina statute because the law would "significantly" burden non-white voters. It was the first time the Obama administration intervened against any of eight states that enacted new voter-ID laws or tightened existing ones last year.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said in a statement that he filed the suit today in federal court in Washington against the Justice Department and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, seeking a declaration that the law won't harm the voting rights of minorities. The complaint couldn't be immediately verified with the court.
"The DOJ has denied citizens in South Carolina protection of a law that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in Indiana, and the DOJ itself pre-cleared for Georgia," Wilson said. "Nothing in this law prevents anyone from voting if they cannot immediately show a valid photo identification."
