I ran textometrica on 500 tweets a week after this round of tweet analysis, and got similar (and some interesting) results. You can't really compare the two network maps because I added some categories. This is, after all, a leaning process at the moment.
Last time I omitted the category for links, but this time I coded for it. There was a strong correlation to advocacy (sharing links to shelters, websites, etc), to types of abuse, but also to legal action – a category similar to advocacy, but is delimited to actions in the legal system. I also coded for words that showed support or blame for the violence. I really need to run a sentiment analysis on the data, though. Anyway, what I did find was a similar high number of tweets showing advocacy for victims (sending hotline numbers, telling where shelters are, etc), as well as a large discussion about what constitutes abuse (i.e., is emotional abuse a type of domestic violence). I also found that women were mentioned twice as much as men (no surprise there, considering statistics of domestic violence). Three categories were also interesting: the high number of tweets both blaming the victim, but also blaming men in general; how often social media was mentioned (often in relation to advocacy), and of course related to links, and how prevalent the discussion about abusers entering the legal system.
Next time I run the analysis I will use a different tweet miner. I was using TwitterSave, but it only lets you download max 500 tweets at a time. Next time I will try out TAGS, which lets you download more tweets by mining hashtags. Then, of course, running them through textometrica again. We will see where it leads.

I don't see Annie's printable coupons very often, so I am VERY excited about this. Go HERE and you can print a $1/1 any Annie's cereal, and a .50/1 any Annie's product. If your store doubles .50 cent coupons, that will definitely make for a good deal! If you have a Kroger, I suggest looking out for those manager's specials so that you could possibly snag some really cheap or even FREE Annie's products. The coupons expire a month from when you print.
Thanks Organic Deals and Coupons!

What a fucking and sucking party. When I say sucking, I mean sucking ass, dick, pussy, tits, and everything in between. The ladies of the night were drunk with lust. The guys are always horny so they do not count. The ladies need them just as much as the party needs music. The beats kept everybody in motion. Camryn and her hot ass friend did not want to wait for the after party. They wanted to fuck, so they grabbed a dick and went to town on it. Johnny, I guess, was the closest one, so he fucked right in the club. They fucked with everyone around watching them. This threesome did not skip a beat or a position. It was in and out of both of them. Camryn even got her ass filled up and her face blasted.

So we went to a local restaurant to get a drink when we spotted the sexy Camryn. She was sitting all by herself eating some cake. She was wearing a short, sexy skirt that revealed her gorgeous legs. She had a cute face and a smoking body. So, we invited her to come over and have a drink. She was hesitant at first, but she finally came around and decided to come with us. When we got there, she gave me a striptease after some persuading. She had a tight package. Nice juicy tits, sexy legs, and a hot ass that she knew how to shake. She started playing with her wet twat and got herself very hot and horny for Billy. He came in and dipped his tongue in her pretty pussy. Then, she gave him some awesome deep throat. Then, she could not wait to take that cock in her tight pussy. She loved the way her pussy was pounded. Then, she took all the cream in her mouth and swallowed it. Good girl.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to find a control inside a field that is inside a control. I'm accessing the field that the control is in, but a DataControlField does not have a FindControl() method.. so I'm not sure if I'm able to access the DropDownList that I'm trying to access inside this field.
I tried to cast it as a Control so that I could then use the FindControl(), but the compiler wouldn't let me convert a DataControlField to a Control. Am I missing something?

Let's run some stories about older workers
Workplace Longevity
The new issue of WORLD, with Ben Bernanke on the cover, notes that the federal government's sequestered budget is still larger this year than last. If current trends continue, federal spending will grow by two-thirds over the next decade, even with the S-word uttered, because the sequester doesn't touch the biggest driver of spending, entitlements.
One group can make a huge difference: The baby-boom children of the greatest generation. Most members of that cohort are likely to have good health and the opportunity to be productive into their 70s and 80s. If more people understand and act on the truth that work is a blessing despite the post-fall thorns and thistles, not a "necessary evil" or merely a way to make money, the cultural case for entitlement reform will grow stronger.
One problem now is that older people are leaving the workplace at just the time they could be mentoring the younger generation. Another is that any attempt to raise the normal retirement age seems to some an attack on seniors. But what if the debate changes from "raising the typical retirement age will alienate the elderly" to "not raising the age infantilizes and disrespects them"?
Such a change in thinking could parallel the 1990s change in thinking concerning welfare. Welfare reform became not a way to punish the poor but a way to help them be seen as capable people made in God's image, givers rather than takers. The debate changed when most Americans, and many among the poor themselves, saw federal doles as enslaving devices on a modern plantation.
Today, putting out to pasture old people is similar: Yes, take into account the physical and mental decline of some, but let's spotlight the ability of many others to continue to be productive. Let's start on WORLDmag.com.
Our stories on "marriage longevity" celebrate and encourage life-long fidelity, thereby combatting the notion that serial adultery is more satisfying. Long marriages say in concrete terms that modern/post-modern notions of polyandry and same-sex "marriage" are pale counterfeits of the real thing. By bearing witness to long marriages we help people understand that having the "real thing" is indeed possible.
We're looking to start a series on workplace longevity. If you know of people in their 70s and 80s who are still working and would like to be profiled, please send a note with contact information to firstname.lastname@example.com.

2x hello kitty dresses
dresse fit find and it is cute. but i thought it would come with a belt. it was my misstack.should come with a belt because it doesn't look right in the middle.other than that I got a lot of good compliments.like its cute on me and I am so cute stuff like that was a compliment that i get. and the dress is lightweight and it feels comfortable to. I think it should be a little bit less money than it cost right now like 30 dollars not 50 dollars.it's nice but not that nice.
Comfortable and Cute
The dress is adorable and very comfortable. Fits to size. The only drawback is that it is VERY short in the front but I was planning to wear with leggings anyway. If I didn't wear with leggings it would be sending the wrong message! Adorable just wish it was a tad longer.
Nice but too short
I was expecting something better, this dress is kind of cute but its not really black, looks kind of brown and the front part is really short, is made for big women but not for tall ones, I can't wear it.
Cute but front too short!
I was so excited when this dress arrived, but to my dismay it has to go back! I ordered the medium and everything fit well except the front was wayyyyyy too short. It ends at about the upper one third of my thigh! For reference, I am 5' 4" and typically wear small or medium in dresses. I am sad, but I will keep on looking for the perfect kitty dress!!

I am so happy with the dress! I am 175 lbs and the xxl is perfect!
has some stretch
I e-mailed LA Japan to get more accurate info on the sizing of this, but I just ended up more confused! The LA Japan website lists a M as having a 30in bust. As I have a 36, I was worried that just going up to L wouldn't be enough. Even the e-mails didn't make it sound like it went up that high, which sounded odd to me since other reviews praised it for being a plus-friendly item. I went to an XL, and I feel it's the right size for me. If you have a bust size 40+, I would take more caution, but the outer dress is rayon/spandex so it'll give some stretch. The lining is polyester, so there's a limit. That said, it's adorable! I used a black and silver belt, and it fit this color scheme perfectly!
Finally some sizes us bigger girls can wear! Thank you Sanrio! I hope this means more "extended" sizes in the future?!
I can't thank you enough for having a big size that fits just meant for me to wear. This is so soft, comfortable, gorgeous, and best of all, it makes me look small. Finally, you've heard me. Two way thumbs up...
Thank you SO SO much for this dress. Finally sizing that fits us curvy girls. Flattering shape - stretchy material. Love it. Will also be shopping for a red belt like this one.

O-arm® Imaging System
The leading edge of spinal care
Freeman recently acquired the revolutionary O-arm® Imaging System—one of the most advanced imaging devices available—for use in spinal, orthopaedic, and trauma surgeries. With this investment, Freeman becomes the only hospital within a 150-mile radius to offer this innovative technology.
During spinal surgery, precision means everything. O-arm technology provides surgeons with clear, real-time, 3-D images of the back, neck and spine bones. Images are displayed on a large, digital flat screen, allowing the surgeon to see precisely where to place surgical instruments and implants while maneuvering around delicate spinal nerves and organs. This helps preserve healthy tissue and shorten the length of surgery. As a result, patients typically experience less invasive surgeries, faster recovery times and improved outcomes.
A fully portable device, O-arm enables the surgeon to check implant placement before leaving the operating room, minimizing the need for follow-up adjustment procedures. Its use may also reduce the need for additional imaging before, during and after surgery.
The O-arm delivers a 360-degree scan and 3-D images with exceptional resolution in about 30 seconds.

2013 Ferrari 458 Italia
Ferrari is one of the most well known and talked about sports cars on the market, with many people dreaming of one day owning one. The Italian vehicle's low profile style, superb handling, and high performance engines, makes the Ferrari one of the best vehicles on the road, as well as at the track.
Racing has been a part of Ferrari's history since 1947, winning multiple competitions yearly ever since. And now there is a Ferrari 458 Challenge series that is designated specifically for Ferrari race cars. These racecars are production-based with the overall appearance of the road legal Ferraris, but are designed with racetrack modifications.
The Ferrari Italia was first revealed to the public on September 15, 2009 at the Frankfort Motor Show. It is a mid-engine supercar using the technology from the company's Formula 1 racing experience.
The braking system includes a prefill function that lets the caliper piston come in contact with the discs to reduce the delay when the brake pedal is applied. This function, along with the ABS system, reduces the stopping distance from 62-0 in 107 feet.
The Ferrari Italia 458 has also earned over 30 awards from around the world since its inception. Recently in the United States, the car was voted World Performance Car of the Year, and was named Car of the Year by the Robb Report. The engine itself was voted Best Performance Engine and Best Engine above 4-litres to add to its collection of awards.
In Britain, the Italia gained Top Gear Magazine's Supercar of the Year and Car of the Year awards. Other awards include Performance Car of the year in 2010 by Car Magazine, Auto Express and What Car.
Not only has the Italia enjoyed the honor of being top of its class many time in the United States and Britain, but also has received awards from the Middle East, as well as China and Japan.
The following comes to you in partnership with our friends at Top Speed.
Recently, Racing One took a Ferrari 458 Italia and made a few modifications to the already impressive ride. Originally the 4.5-litre V-8 under the hood produced 570 hp that would propel the car down the track to a 3.4 second 0-60 and a top speed of 201 mph.
The drive train of this already potent machine was the first to inherit a few updates. The horsepower was increased to 620 and was connected to a seven-speed racing gearbox that powered the variable traction control system. The total weight of the car was decreased 1,246 pounds from the original version, tipping the scales at just 2,689 pounds.
Racing One also did some aerodynamic improvements with a new front and rear spoilers, side skirts and huge rear wing. To grip it to the pavement wider wheels and racing slicks were used.
The Ferrari is not only a sports car that people dream of owning, it has proven it is worthy of recognition in the automotive world of speed.

Peretz: Hamas Is Using the Gaza Cease-fire to Stockpile Weapons
Defense Minister: Israel is following developments closely, won't rule out Gaza military operation.
Defense Minister Amir Peretz said Tuesday that Israel is concerned about the continued strengthening and arming of Hamas and is following developments closely.
During a visit to the Israel Defense Forces Gaza Division, Peretz said Hamas is taking advantage of the cease-fire agreement between Israel and the Palestinians to continue stockpiling arms.
"We are definitely doing everything in order to preserve the cease-fire," said Peretz, but added that Israel has "no reason to turn [Hamas']strengthening into a real threat to Israel."
Peretz refused to rule out a military operation in the Gaza Strip. "Every solution that protects the citizens of Israel is possible," he said. "We prefer a diplomatic solution, but where that doesn't work out, we will also conduct military operations."
IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, who accompanied Peretz on his visit, said one of the principle Gaza threats that concerns the IDF is the digging of booby-trapped tunnels by Palestinian organizations.
A Qassam rocket hit an open area south of Ashkelon Tuesday, causing no injuries. In Nablus, the IDF continued its large-scale operation "Hot Winter," which is focusing primarily on carrying out arrests in the casbah.
Three women's bodies found in Gaza in under 12 hoursThe bodies of three woman were discovered in the Gaza Strip over the course of 12 hours on Tuesday, in what appear to be unrelated murders.
The body of 31-year-old Gaza City resident Ibtisam Abi Gaynes was discovered on the Beit Lahia beach in northern Gaza on Monday night.
Several hours later, passersby found the body of 45-year-old Samira A-Dabeiki. According to her husband, he last saw her on Monday afternoon when she went out to do some shopping.
Tuesday morning, the body of 40-year-old Amani al-Husari was found in the Sheikh Redwan neighborhood. According to her son, armed gunmen who identified themselves as police burst into their home on Monday night and abducted his mother.
Meanwhile, Palestinian security forces discovered the body of Abdul Majid Abu Suheiben, who apparently was a smuggler, in a collapsed Rafah tunnel. The tunnel collapsed Monday, and two of those inside managed to survive.

UK Employment Law
Ask an UK Employment Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Thanks for your question. Please don't forget to press Accept once you get my answer. For now please let me know:
1. Is all of this mentioned in your contract?
Can you please expand on the continental shift pay system – is that just a company entitlement?
No we get paid for a average 42hr week, as we work 4 x 12 hour shifts and 4 x 12 shifts off. with the shutdown days this averages us to a normal 40hr working week, but without the days as they want us to work this puts us on full continental shifts and i think i am right in saying they should pay the shift premiums for this
So essentially they are going to increase your working hours but at the same time keep you on the same pay and in turn this will change your existing contract?
OK, but this shift premium – where are you getting that from, is it a company policy?
i have worked these shifts in the past for another company and the premiums were paid. but this company only wants to pay us basic hours with no premium

Restless Wave
Afterword by Yi-Chun Tricia Lin & Greg Robinson
Restless Wave, written under the pen name Haru Matsui, is Ayako Ishigaki's only English-language book, and is one of the first books written by a Japanese woman for Western readers. Ishigaki recalls in lyrical and evocative prose the coming of age in a privileged family and rebelling against strict codes of women's behavior. She also traces the political awakening that would force to her to flee Japan for the United States, and would eventually make her an internationally renowned activist for peace, social justice, and women's rights.
"Matsui is that most solitary of human beings, a woman who cannot conform to the patterns her people have set for a woman, and the story in her book is the story of one who never found a real place for herself because she could not retire into the pattern."
"I like the narrative quality of the text—it is perfect for an undergraduate class."
"What an extraordinary memoir this is. This story about the early life of the Issei, the Japanese immigrant who chose to come to the U.S. in the mid-1920s, as a single woman is one of the earliest of its kind. . . . A stunning afterword traces the later life of this unusual woman."

It was a great little train trip of about 30 minutes and if you really couldn't hang on you could have a pee and watch it splash out onto the tracks below. Just like when I was a wee (no pun intended!) nipper going from home to Sydney on the North Coast Mail.
The village of Goolwa itself was a bit of a pleasant surprise. Mind you we had absolutely no expectations to begin with because we had actually driven down to Victor Harbour and were staying overnight there. We happened to notice this notice about this train ride to Goolwa so away we went!
Very pretty little place with plenty of recreation opportunities.

Google: 'The Last Library'
Posted on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 by Camille Canon Print This Post
Categories - Featured
Google's book plan has ruled news headlines over the last few weeks, as opponents and defendants set forward their arguments in court. If passed, Google Books would be the largest online book catalogue and shop. Naturally, the Amazon and eBays of the world are peeved. Google is taking away the foundation of their businesses with a whirlwind of resources they could never dream of obtaining.
While book sellers, search engines and a lot of annoyed authors across the world are worried about the infinite money to be lost if Google Books passes through court, a new group of critics recently emerged — the academics. At a conference held recently at the University of California Berkeley, Geoffrey Nunberg, adjunct professor at UC Berkeley's School of Information, spiced up the dialogue by stating that Google Books will be "the last library." According to Nunberg, a project of this scale, both in terms of cost and influence, will only happen once, leaving Google as the world's last library.
So what? Google is already the world's leading dictionary, thesaurus, encyclopedia, why not add library to its list of attributes, right? Well, hardcore cultural preservationist would argue the prospect of a corporation holding 'metaphorical rights,' i.e. the authority to catalogue books from Chuck Klosterman to Goethe, to the entire world's literature. Taking on the world's books also implies a responsibility to draw the boundaries between appropriate and inappropriate, tolerable and intolerable, 'Cultural' and culturally offensive and on and on across a number of differing cultural lines and across the internet.
Aside from the theoretical issues threatened by Google becoming an even stronger cultural curator, Google Books is simply not a good library, or at least not yet. Nunberg candidly criticized the viability of Google's 'library,' stating that thousands, if not millions, of metadata mistakes in GoogleBooks, (my favorite of which being that Susan Bordo's 2003 edition of Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body dated 1899 is categorized under Health & Body), make it a laughable source for academic research. Google Books doesn't even use the Dewey Decimal System. Instead, the world's (possibly) soon to be largest library uses the commercial format BISAC, which is comically bad for surfing through the largest library ever. As Nunberg stated, "In short, Google has taken a group of the world's great research collections and returned them in the form of a suburban-mall bookstore."
Most of us are not academics, but almost all of us are Google users. While I'm excited about the prospect of emerging transparency in pursuing for literature offered by Google Books, I'm also wondering if I will be able to adapt my 'keyword inquiries' into library format.

Vodafone says begins arbitration in India tax dispute
May 07 2014 , New Delhi
Vodafone said it filed the arbitration on April 17. The company did not give details.
The long-running tax dispute is over Vodafone's acquisition of Indian mobile assets in 2007.
In 2012, India's Supreme Court ruled in favour of Vodafone saying the company was not liable to pay any tax on the deal. The Indian government later that year changed rules enabling it to tax already-concluded deals.

For many Americans, Thanksgiving and the holiday season, in general, revolves around one thing: food.
The savory meals. The sweet treats. The tasty beverages. The calories can add up quickly, resulting in extra pounds.
But that doesn't have to be the case.
"Small things can make a big difference in the calorie content and still be tasty," said Sandra Brown, food safety and nutrition expert at Washington State University Clark County Extension.
Everyone has dishes they're unwilling to compromise on, Brown said. But for the other dishes, making a couple tweaks to the recipe can cut down on the calories without ruining the taste, she said.
Start with the stuffing.
If you make stuffing from scratch, consider using a cup or two of brown rice in place of a cup of the bread. The rice replacement will eliminate some carbohydrates and add some fiber to the dish, Brown said.
If you use broth, choose a low-fat and low-sodium broth. And in addition to the onions and celery you typically add to stuffing, throw in some sauteed apples.
"Apple adds sweetness so you don't miss some of the fat," Brown said. "If you're going to take fat out, you have to have some other flavors."
Those changes can drastically reduce the amount of calories, sodium and fat in homemade stuffing. A 1/2 cup of homemade stuffing has 190 calories, 643 milligrams of sodium and 6 grams of fat. The better-for-you version has about 104 calories, 175 milligrams of sodium and 2 grams of fat, according to Brown.
Mashed potatoes can also be made healthier.
One trick is to use light margarine in place of butter. You can even find margarines
without trans fats, if that's a concern, Brown said.
Substituting the whole milk or cream in the recipe with skim milk, will also cut down on the calories and fat. And consider seasoning the potatoes with black pepper and garlic powder instead of salt.
Those changes reduce the calories in a 3/4 cup serving of potatoes from 165 to 120 calories. The changes also reduce the fat from 7 grams to 1 gram, according to Brown.
Another mashed potatoes recipe tweak gaining popularity is adding mashed cauliflower in place of some of the potatoes, Brown said.
Your sweet potatoes and candied yams recipes can also get a little healthier by using light margarine instead of butter. Another trick is to ditch the sugar and replace it with a little orange juice and a dash of sweet spices, such as cinnamon and cloves or pumpkin pie spice, Brown said.
While mashing the sweet potatoes, add a little bit of orange juice and keep an eye on the consistency. Add more juice as necessary, she said.
For drinks, consider a healthier version of eggnog. In a blender, puree two bananas, 1 cup skim or soy milk, nutmeg and rum extract.
That nog has only 151 calories and less than 1 gram of fat, according to Brown. Traditional eggnog has 340 calories and 16 grams of fat per cup.
No need to throw out the old recipes, but making some small changes to them doesn't have to compromise the dish and may even result in more desirable flavors, Brown said.
"People can taste the flavor of the food because it's not masked by so much fat," she said.
Healthy Holiday Tips
Here are some additional tips from local dietitians and nutrition experts to help make the holidays a little healthier:
Holiday meals
o Eat normally prior to the event. Start the day with a good breakfast.
o Turkey is a great source of lean protein, so keep it that way. Steer clear of self-basting turkeys; they've been injected with butter or other fats. Avoid adding fats by roasting or smoking your turkey rather than deep-frying it.
o Bake your stuffing outside of the bird. Stuffing cooked inside the turkey absorbs fat and increases calories.
o Have small dishes of vegetables around for people to snack on before dinner.
o Make a one-plate rule. Skip seconds knowing dessert is still on the way.
o Focus on quality, not quantity by choosing the foods you really want versus everything that is offered.
o Make half of your plate vegetables or green salad.
o Watch portion sizes. Some food items you won't want to skimp on the flavor of ingredients, such as butter or full cream. So watch the portion size of those items.
o Choose one starchy food, such as potatoes or stuffing. If you choose two servings of starchy items, you should offset those with two servings of vegetables.
o Serve seltzer water and fruit juice for a festive-looking drink.
o Offer low-calorie beverage options, such as water with wedges of fruit or hot apple cinnamon tea with sliced apples in a crock pot.
o Limit yourself to one or two cocktails. Then drink sparkling water as an alternate "special drink."
o Sign up for a turkey trot the morning of Thanksgiving. You can walk or run. Choose a distance that will be challenging but doable.
o Get the whole gang out for a neighborhood walk between dinner and dessert.
o Make the walk fun by sharing things you're thankful for or playing "I spy" while walking through the neighborhood.
Other tricks
o Get out grandma's china. Plates in the 1960s were typically 8 1/2 inches in diameter versus today's 12-inch platter, which holds about 40 percent more food.
o Make a plan for leftovers. If you're hosting the holiday meal, purchase inexpensive plastic containers to pack goodie bags for your guests.
o Don't stand next to the food or beverage table.

INDIAN POINT MARINE FARMS Ltd.
Indian Point Marine Farms Ltd. has been growing mussels in the waters of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia since 1982. We are a small family-owned business that takes pride in the quality of our mussels. We work hard to ensure the sustainability of our business and to maintain the water quality that produces our fine products. Our goal is to produce good, safe and nutritious food while minimizing the impact on the marine environment that makes this production possible.
Willy Krauch came to Canada from Denmark and began smoking fish in the tiny village of Tangier, Nova Scotia. Since 1956 they have been smoking the finest Atlantic salmon, mackerel and eels in their traditional Scandinavian style smokehouse. Willy developed a method of smoking that's uniquely his own. Over the years Willy developed a reputation for selling only the finest quality smoked Atlantic fish. In fact, many people both locally and tourists make the 50 mile drive from Halifax, a day's outing just to buy his fish.
"In Nova Scotia's South Shore community of Lunenburg, you can tell the buildings belonging to the Adams and Knickle fishing business by their hey-look-at-me shade of red. Identified by the town's paint suppliers simply as "A and K red," it's as recognizable a trademark as, say, McDonald's golden arches, albeit on a smaller scale. Indeed, when the firm repainted one of its buildings a year or so ago, some local residents mistook a coat of pink primer for the finished job and nearly marched in protest. Over the last decade or so, the drop in the number of deep-sea vessels had rendered the marine-supply side of the business uneconomical – the premises were kept open, though, to sell scallops to the public. Says Jane Adams Ritcey, granddaughter of cofounder Harry Adams and the firm's current president: "The people of Lunenburg have been buying scallops fresh off the boat from Adams and Knickle for more than 50 years, and I think they have a right to expect that to continue."
~Excerpt from an article in the Imperial Oil Review by Wynne Thomas
Victor Greek, "the founder" born in Blue Rocks Lunenburg County, N.S., first made pudding and sausage at the age of 11 while working for his uncle in Lunenburg in 1930. In the 1940's he started to produce his particular brand of pudding and sausages in his own store on Dutch Village Road, Halifax. He continued to make them after moving to Bridgewater in 1949, while working for several stores in the area. In 1975 the company "Lunenburg Pudding & Sausage Ltd." was incorporated and has been operating from its present location, at 276A St. Phillips Street, Bridgewater, since then. Victor (Dad) passed his secret recipes on to me (his son Richard) who carries on his tradition of producing only high quality home-made style products to this day. We at Greek's pride ourselves in using only high quality ingredients in keeping with the aim of offering a product reminiscent of those prepared in the kitchens of Lunenburg County for many generations.
Bay Enterprises Limited is a family owned business that has been involved in the oyster industry in Malagash, Nova Scotia, Canada since the 1890's.
We take great pride in our oysters and believe them to be among the world's very best. They are grown in the pure waters of Malagash Basin and Tatamagouche Bay.
Here's a bit more about our Tatamagouche (Crassostrea virginica) oysters…Not so coincidentally, our Tatamagouche oysters are grown out in Tatamagouche Bay, Nova Scotia (N 45.35/W 63.17). A little cultural background…The word "Tatamagouche" is derived from the Mi'kmaq (MicMac) word "Takumegooch", which in the native tongue translates to "meeting of the waters" (the southern end of Tatamagouche Bay is created by the mouths of the French and Waugh rivers). This brackish estuary is situated across the Northumberland Strait from Prince Edward Island, and serves as an ideal location for the grow-out of oysters. Now then…What is it about our Tatamagouche oysters that make them so exceptional? Perhaps the most extraordinary attribute of the Tatamagouche is the fact that they are left very much to their own devices during their grow-out. That is to say…No chipping, manicuring, shaping, or any sort of manipulation takes place over the three to four years it takes for the Tats to reach market size. So what does this mean to you? I'm glad you asked. As the Tats have never been chipped, their valves (shells) are absolutely congruous (who says you never use geometry?). A watertight seal is created by the valves, thereby locking in the precious liquor. This ability to retain this brine so effectively is not unique to the Tatamagouche, but it is exceptional in this day and age of complex aquaculture.

Propeller Brewing Company is Nova Scotia's best selling microbrewery. Our International award winning, all-natural, British-style ales and lagers are available at liquor stores, fine bars and restaurants throughout Nova Scotia. Ask for an Extra Special Bitter or an India Pale Ale, the Province's two best selling micro brewed beers.
Halifax has always been at the centre of a proud and vibrant Maritime brewing tradition. In 1754, William Steel was the first local brewer to quench the thirsts of early settlers and troops gathered on Citadel Hill. Many would follow, with over 20 breweries having operated by the time of prohibition. Garrison Brewing Company is following in this tradition by producing premium ales of distinction for the local market. With our inaugural batch of "Irish Red Ale" in 1997, Garrison introduced the craft beer movement to Nova Scotians and visitors alike. Today Garrison brews a variety of full flavored, all natural, preservative free ales. Each glass represents a tribute to the art of hand-crafting ales with the finest natural ingredients.
At Acadian Maple they source out the highest quality, premium pure maple syrup produced in the highlands of Nova Scotia. Being a wild crafted product, pure maple syrup acquires tastes, flavors and aromas from the surrounding natural environment. As spring melt water runs over different rock & vegetation on its way to the tree roots, to become the sweet sap of the maple tree, it acquires a whole host of varying tastes and flavors distinct to each individual sugaring operation.
Van Dyk's Health Juice Products Limited is an innovative thriving family business with a passion to produce the highest quality health juice products in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner
Van Dyk's Health Juice Products Ltd. is a family run business based in Caledonia, Nova Scotia, Canada. It produces an all-natural 100% pure wild blueberry juice made from locally grown wild blueberries. During the late 1960's the Van Dyk family became interested in developing a wild blueberry industry in rural Queens County, Nova Scotia. Fields with as little as 10% wild blueberry coverage were developed from old abandoned farms. Today these fields are covered with wild blueberry plants and have become an economic resource for this part of rural Nova Scotia.
The 100% pure wild blueberry juice product concept had been in Casey Van Dyk's mind for quite some time, given his familiarity with bilberries and the success of bilberry juice as a health drink in Europe. This coupled with the increased consumer awareness of the potential health benefits of wild blueberries resulted in the development of Van Dyk's 100% Pure Wild Blueberry Juice. We along with many of our customers think it is the best tasting blueberry juice on earth!
Terra Beata is a Maritime cranberry farm nestled next to the Atlantic Ocean near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Founded in 1998 by David and Evelyn Ernst, Terra Beata cranberry farm serves a range of customers, from families who visit the U-pick and Bog Store for cranberries and farm-made cranberry gourmet preserves, to businesses looking for top-quality frozen cranberries and cranberry products.
Ironworks is a micro-distillery located in the old port of Lunenburg on Nova Scotia's historic South Shore. We take our name from the 1893 heritage building we call home: a marine blacksmith's shop that once produced ironworks for the shipbuilding trade. We craft our spirits with the same love of traditional methods and attention to detail. To see what we're up to, have a look around our site. Or even better, drop by our distillery shop and enjoy a taste.
Perhaps there is something in the mist that swirls in from the Bay of Fundy. Or it might be the extra hours of sunshine we get here in the Annapolis Valley every year. But something gives our fruit and vegetables a very special flavour - a flavour you can taste.
In 1984, six growers in Nova Scotia's Eastern Kings County pooled their marketing efforts and Kings Produce was born. Since then, a hard working group of farmers has continued to cultivate new ideas for the production and post harvest handling of a wide array of vegetables destined for regional, national and international markets.

Residents of tourism meccas often trade stories of the surprising things visitors can do or say.
Years ago, in Colonial Williamsburg, Va., for example, a tourist was overheard arguing with her companion about which buildings to visit. Most Williamsburg structures date from the 18th century; a few had to be re-created when the city was restored.
But it was clear which kind the unhappy lady valued: "I don't want to waste time on that one! It's been there all along," she sniffed as she dismissed one Colonial-era treasure.
Even in areas with an abundance of historic structures, some folks will still prefer the stage-set versions of history to the real...

Scientist turned shuttle van driver is back in the lab
USCD researcher's colleagues won Nobel, where did that leave him?
While preparing for work as a car dealership's courtesy van driver in Huntsville, Ala., Douglas Prasher heard the radio announcement. The 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry had been awarded to three Americans: Osamu Shimomura of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., Martin Chalfie of Columbia University and UC San Diego's Roger Tsien.
Prasher's first reaction? Call the station to correct the broadcaster: "You've mispronounced Roger Tsien's name. It's 'Chen.' "
Weeks later, another reaction led him to make another call. Overwhelmed by despair, he parked the dealership's van by the roadside and phoned a suicide prevention hotline.
That courtesy van driver — Dr. Douglas Prasher, Ph.D, — is a world-class biochemist. His research in the 1980s and '90s had led to the Nobel-winning breakthroughs of Shimomura, Chalfie and Tsien. For a time, that trio's elevation into the scientific pantheon brought welcome publicity to their former colleague and his unlikely journey from chemistry department to service department.
But when the spotlight faded, Prasher remained stuck in an $8.50-an-hour job, considering taking his own life.
"I had been depressed for quite awhile, but that day it really hit home," he said. "If even after all that had happened, I couldn't get a job in science, then something was wrong."
Bad luck and bad decisions cast dark shadows across Prasher's career, but his most celebrated scientific work involved a natural substance that sheds light. Today, he has emerged from depression and returned to science as a researcher in Tsien's UC San Diego lab. At 61, this biochemist still lacks a Nobel Prize, but that doesn't seem to bother him.
"Everything happens for a reason, even though we may not understand it at the time," he said. "I'm much happier now."
When asked how everything spun out of control, Prasher sometimes cites his childhood. Growing up in Ohio and Canada, Douglas never learned the arts of networking or self-promotion. "You just didn't do that," he said.
At Ohio State, he enrolled in the chemical engineering program, a subject he grew to hate. Although he hadn't taken biology in high school, Prasher listened when a roommate suggested biochemistry as an alternative. "I was always into chemistry and I realized this was the chemistry of life. an explanation of how things work around us.
"The stuff that goes on in our bodies is just chemistry — as simple as that," Prasher said. Then he laughed. "Well, it's not really simple."
No, but the complexities drew him deeper into this field. After earning his Ph.D at Ohio State, he traveled south for postgraduate work at the University of Georgia. There, Milton Cormier introduced him to aequorin, a photoprotein that allows certain jellyfish species to emit light. Could this green fluorescent protein — this GFP — be isolated and cloned?
Shimomura and others were pondering similar questions. If you attached fluorescent proteins to molecules or slipped them inside cells, couldn't you watch these tagged elements interact, revealing behaviors that would lead to new drugs and medical therapies, and even a more profound understanding of life itself?
"It looked to me that GFP could be an incredible tool for cell biologists," Prasher said, "if the fluorescence could be generated in an organism other the jellyfish."
The American Cancer Society agreed, and in 1988 awarded Prasher a two-year grant to study GFP's potential as a biological marker that could illuminate the actions of cancer cells. Prasher succeeded in cloning GFP cell; his paper describing this breakthrough was published in a 1992 issue of the journal Gene.
By then, Prasher had moved to Woods Hole, next door to Shimomura's professional home. Yet the newcomer never felt at ease in this seaside Massachusetts center — and failed to forge professional or personal bonds with his fellow biochemist. He also lost touch with Columbia's Chalfie, who had wanted to collaborate on further explorations of GFP. Feeling isolated and out of place, Prasher decided to leave Woods Hole rather than try for tenure — a decision that would have fateful consequences.

A promising recent resurgence of juvenile sea stars along the California coast has yet to find its way to the Pacific Northwest, according to experts.
The sea-star population from Alaska to northern Mexico was decimated in the past year. And a mysterious disease called Sea Star Wasting Syndrome is to blame.
As the name suggests, populations of sea stars waste away within weeks. Those infected twist, contort, lose arms and lose the ability to hold onto rocks before finally dissolving.
Recently, the population of juvenile six-armed sea stars has shown "a little bit" of growth.

But the resurgence isn't necessarily moving north.
"We're seeing a little bit in this one species, but we're not seeing it up and down the coast," said Brian Tissot, director of the Humboldt State University Marine Laboratory and the Marine and Coastal Science Institute in Northern California.
Experts say six-armed sea stars aren't as ecologically important as the ochre sea stars.
Drew Harvell is a Cornell University marine epidemiologist based at Friday Harbor Labs and part of a nationwide group of researchers studying the wasting disease. In Washington, she said, the ochre or purple sea stars, or Pisaster ochraceus, haven't been so lucky.
"I know we had a large recruit in the San Juan (Islands) and a lot of them did not make it," she said, citing the wasting disease.
When juveniles become infected with the wasting disease, "they don't show the same signs as the adults because they die so quickly. Once they become infected, they just disappear," she said.
Researchers in Oregon have also only seen small numbers of resurgence.
"We have some of that in two, three of our sites. It hasn't been a widespread thing that we've seen in the Humboldt (Calif.) region," said Bruce Menge, a professor of marine biology at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
Scientists are documenting the disease and its impact on the number of sea stars in the intertidal ecosystem. Instances of the disease "still remains very high, even though the number of animals is fewer," Menge said.
The lack of sea stars already is starting to change the outlook of the ecosystem.
"We're already seeing a large increase in barnacles," Menge said.
Normally, sea stars reduce the population to "very low numbers" at this time of year but this isn't happening, he said. "As a result, the prey that do settle on the rocks, survive and grow like crazy."

hey fritz,
Name's Till, you goat.
you apparently are not familiar with the sellers of patently defective 21 systems.
Ain't I now. But I make a distinction between experts and 'experts'. Unless they're all 'experts' in your eyes. And/or unless you suggest that the experts are all selling crap to the masses, which I dispute.
as to surveillance agents not earning any significant bucks, that's a fact. are you suggesting that these agents "moonlight" ? sunlight might be better
The surveillance folks I have known do work mostly under the moon's silvery and benign gaze but things can get done en plein soleil as well. During a hearing few months ago, a naive MP suggested that physical checks will be enforced 24/7 in port X because this is where the smuggling is done. I nodded vigorously in agreement, as they say. Poor chap never heard of paper routes. Were you thinking strictly of casino surveillance?

News: Leaders assess exercise progress in Dominican Republic
Story by Sgt. Zachary Mott
BARAHONA, Dominican Republic – Hammers are swung and teeth are continually cleaned as the multinational exercise Beyond the Horizon 2014 carries on in Barahona Province, Dominican Republic, June 9.
United States Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), and Dominican Minister of Defense Adm. Sigfrido Pared Perez visited the Soldiers, Marines and airmen participating in the humanitarian and civic assistance mission to learn about the improvements being made in this Caribbean island nation.
Task Force Larimar Commander, U.S. Army Reserve Lt. Col. Christopher Dziubek, and Col. Andrés Santos Melo, commander of the Dominican Republic's 5th Infantry Brigade, briefed Kelly, Perez and other military leaders in attendance on the status of construction projects and medical assistance during BTH.
Engineering projects during this mission include building schools and medical clinics while the medical and dental services for the locals range from providing pre-natal vitamins to filling cavities and root canals.
"It's about building partnerships," Kelly said. "These people are willing to form that partnership and they could use the additional help."
During two-week iterations, both Army Reserve and Air National Guard engineers from across the United States as well as international partners from Brazil, Venezuela, Chile, Peru and the Dominican Republic worked on five construction sites to improve the quality of life for the Dominican people. Also, medical and dental specialists from the U.S. Army Reserve and Canada provided care for people who might otherwise not visit a dentist or doctor.
"It's a multinational effort," said U.S. Army Capt. David Bennett, a dentist from the 143rd Medical Company, who is participating in the dental readiness training exercise sites across Barahona province. "It's been awesome to work with people from other countries."
In addition to the partnerships, Kelly stressed the training value a mission like Beyond the Horizon presents for Army Reserve Soldiers and Air National Guard airmen participating in this mission.
Because the Soldiers and airmen involved are not full-time members of the military, Kelly said they bring a unique set of skills to this mission.
"[The Soldiers and airmen] are getting tremendous training, but it's two-fold," he said. "They are training in their normal job skills as well as the skills they bring from their civilian career."
