Moustakas, Hosmer feeling good this spring
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer are old pals with adjacent lockers and, after both whacked home runs in Saturday's 9-5 victory over a Giants split-squad, they conducted a dual interview in the Royals' clubhouse.
Appropriate. The infield corners who both came up during the 2011 season are, like their 8-0-1 team, burning up the Cactus League. Moustakas is hitting .563 and Hosmer, after a 3-for-3 day, is at .471.
"It's still early in spring, I'm still trying to find things here and there, tweaking with it," Moustakas told reporters, "but, yeah, we're playing good as a team and everything's rolling pretty good so far."
While Hosmer put stuff in his locker, Moustakas was asked about his buddy's hitting.
"You guys are watching it. It's pretty fantastic right now. When Hoz gets three hits, all to the left side of the diamond and one going out, that's a good sign for the Kansas City Royals," Moustakas said.
That true, Hoz?
"Well, maybe," Hosmer said. "That's the side of the field I want to stay on and, like Moose said, it's still early in the spring and the results honestly don't matter at this point. It's just based off feel, and the results were there and the feel was there, so it was a good day."
And, yes, it does feel different than last year when he struggled.
"Yeah, I'm laying off pitches I was swinging at last year and, for me, that's the biggest part," Hosmer said. "The discipline's there and I'm seeing the ball well and, for Spring Training, that's all you can ask for."
Hosmer also showed his opposite-field power.
"He's really balanced, his swing is shortened up to where he can drive balls," manager Ned Yost said. "He drove that last ball well over the left-field fence, and those doubles were smoked."
Hosmer, who now has a club-high seven RBIs, was wearing a black T-shirt that read: "Destroying ERAs since 1998."
"I'm going to start wearing this every day," he said.

Bodacious GIFs of the Babes from 'Game of Thrones'
Nothing says welcome to Westeros like some GIFs of the most bodacious babes straight out of 'Game of Thrones.' Whether you're a fan of Natalie Dormer as Margaery Tyrell, Oona Chaplin as Talisa Maegyr (the one with the really cut stomach), Lena Headey as Queen Cersei Lannister, Esme Bianco, Rose Leslie or the fiery Carice Van Houten, there is bound to be a hottie just for you. Sure, some of these characters are admirable while some are completely evil, but regardless of their personalities, they're all extremely hot.
It doesn't matter if they worship R'hllor, the Lord of Light, or the Faith of the Seven, the ladies of this show are all heaven-sent. Hopefully all of these bodacious babes stay around for season four of 'Game of Thrones;' if not, at least these GIFs can make us feel like we're equipped with Valyrian Steel.

J DAVIDSON-sponsored Manchester Phoenix have only one game this weekend; a home fixture against the Slough Jets. The game is on Sunday with the usual 5.30pm face off.
Phoenix have had the better of the Jets this season, winning all four encounters so far.
The Manchester outfit has won 4-2 and 4-3 at Slough and 3-2 followed by a 12-2 demolition in their last home encounter. That last result brought about some major changes in the Slough line up.
Since that game, Slough have lost their player coach, Slava Koulikov, to Peterborough and no fewer than 10 regular players have also left the Hangar.
New coach Craig Moran has brought in Jamie Line, Andrius Kaminskas, Kamil Tvrdek and Ryan Webb to try and bolster the roster.
One interesting addition is 20 year old netminder Andrej Vasiljevic. The Croatian-born youngster has been playing in Zagreb and can boast a game in the KHL for his home town club.
Phoenix are sitting in second position in the league with games in hand over leaders Guildford and, as always, coach Hand will be looking for two points in their only fixture of the weekend.

Estate 14kt Enamel Bird & Birdcage Charm/Pendant
Product Details
A beautiful and wonderfully detailed gold birdcage charm/pendant! This lovely Estate piece is made of 14kt yellow gold and is formed into a realistic miniature birdcage. The birdcage has a solid gold floor in in the shape of a circle and 8 thin vertical gold bars run from the floor of the cage upwards and meet at the top, where they come together under a decorative topper. There are two horizontal gold bars that wrap around the cage at the middle and hanging in the middle of the cage is a beautiful tiny bird. The bird, which resembles a small parrot or similar species, is made of yellow gold and has a white enameled head and a blue enameled body. It hangs from a small triangle-shaped perch that is attached to the top of the cage. The entire pendant hangs from a simple gold bail, making it perfect for hanging from a gold chain necklace or bracelet. It's a wonderful piece and would make a fantastic addition to any collection!
Measurements: The pendant hangs approximately 1 1/4" long and has a diameter of slightly more than 3/4".
Condition: The overall condition of the pendant is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no serious damage to the gold birdcage and the bail is secure and intact. There is some surface wear to the enameling on the bird, however, this is hardly noticeable when worn.

Being in a small-market city like Jacksonville, there are plenty of players on the Jaguars' roster that squeak through the cracks and never get the national attention they deserve for their stellar play.
Case in point: Tight end Marcedes Lewis just started receiving regular props when he became a fantasy stud this past season (even though he was a complete player the two previous years), many people still think defensive tackle Tyson Alualu was a reach and I doubt most fans outside of Jacksonville know who Brad Meester (34) is.
And the new best-kept secret in the city Terrance Knighton, which is no easy feat considering the massive tackles is listed as a generous 6-foot-3. 336 pounds (perhaps a little bit more).
Knighton was an elite run-stuffer for the better part of last season and I didn't get the overwhelming feeling that many NFL analysts took notice as he was clogging running lanes.
But I could have been wrong about as it seems this Jaguar is out of the bag.
In the past couple of days, ESPN's John Clayton and Paul Kuharsky as well as CBS Sports' Pete Crisco all listed Knighton as the Jaguars' most underrated player.
Clayton went as far to place Knighton on his All-Underrated Team.
So it's definitely good to see the big man get some love.
The last article I wrote was about how Knighton and Alualu both had the opportunity to become a great defensive tackle duo and the main reason I feel that way is because of Knighton.
This guy has the potential to become one of the league's most dominant one-technique players. Heck, he was at that level during points of last season although fatigue got the best of him as the year progressed.
But when he was on top of his game, Knighton was great. Football Outsiders statistics list the Jaguars as being third in the NFL in stuffs. That means Knighton and his fellow linemen stopped running backs for no gains or tackles for losses on 23 percent of run attempts.
There are other stats you could look at that indicated the team's overall defensive struggle but that right there directly indicates how solid Knighton was for the Jaguars.
Going forward, Knighton has the ability to go from being tagged as underrated to being considered great. Even though Jacksonville players can get overlooked they eventually get what they deserve when they consistently play at a high level.
Knighton still has to work on the consistency part but the potential is there for him to be absolutely dominant…and people covering the league are taking notice.Tags: Football, Jacksonville, Jacksonville Jaguars, John Clayton, Marcedes Lewis, NFL, Terrance Knighton

Anyone have experience using a glaze mixing company?

Posted 03 October 2012 - 07:00 PM
I've used glazemixer a few times, and have been very satisfied...most recent order was on 7/1 of this year. The glaze was mixed and shipped the next day. However, I placed an order on 9/29 and as of now, the glazes have not been mixed. It is definitely legit so I'm thinking there is a good reason (perhaps away for a few days, etc.) for the lack of response. I'll wait a few days longer before I panic.....I really like having somewhere to order the dry glazes, since I have no space (or really a desire right now) to buy/mix myself.
Thanks Patti! I'll wait a while longer. Glad it's been a good experience for you!
Posted 09 October 2012 - 03:15 PM
Recently, I heard about Glaze Mixer (www.glazemixer.com) as a forum to share glaze recipes and to order glazes to be mixed. Last week, I ordered several colors and despite emails and calling the company, I haven't heard back from them. Te phone number doesn't say the company name in the announcement either. While my card hasn't been charged, I'm concerned that this site may not be legitimate or out of business. Any info or suggestions would help. Thanks!
GlazeMixer.com has been awesome in the past. I just ordered some and received it. I just ordered some more but have not heard anything and it has been a week. I've seen a decline in communication with them the last couple months. I'll have to wait and see.

I have had 4-5 tons made over the past 15-20 years. Its my most used glaze. Its cheaper to make it myself but I make the other 15 glazes I use and this frees me up to make those. They have made a few errors over the years but fessed up and made it right.
I use about a ton of this (40 bags) glaze every 4-5 years.

Did you know?
In San rock art, the eland is the most frequently depicted animal.
South Africa offers a huge diversity in cultural tourism, with many of South Africa's attractions commemorating the past, from the ancient nomadic San culture to resistance to European conquest and apartheid rule.
The Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park in KwaZulu-Natal is home to the ancient rock art of the San, while the Cradle of Humankind outside Johannesburg goes back even further: it's the richest hominid fossil site in the world. Mapungubwe, in the Limpopo province, is one of the richest archaeological sites in Africa, where an advanced South African culture prospered between 1200 and 1270 AD.
The country is scattered with historical battlefields from the Anglo-Zulu War and the South African (Anglo-Boer) War. Famous sites include Isandlwana in KwaZulu-Natal, Kimberley's Magersfontein, and the concentration camp cemetery near Polokwane.
Towns such as Mamre, Elim, Wupperthal and Ebenhaezer are some of the most historically interesting Mission Route sites in South Africa, where you will be able to learn more about the influence of the missionaries who flocked to South Africa from all over Europe.
Soweto's Heritage Trail is a powerful reminder of the events that characterised South Africa's liberation struggle, such as the student uprising on 16 June, 1976. It includes Hector Pieterson Square, dedicated to the first student to die in the student uprising.
You can also visit numerous cultural villages and museums to learn more about how indigenous and colonial inhabitants lived, and how the various languages, customs and traditions of South Africa are celebrated today.
One of the best ways to experience South Africa's cultures is to attend a country festival. Take the Williston Winter Festival, held at the brink of spring each year. It's a friendly riot of dust-dancing by the local Namas and country singing by their white Afrikaans counterparts. The long tables groan with food dishes from both cultures and strangers are made more than welcome in their midst. It's South Africa with her best foot forward.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/11/2012 (1737 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitobans are about to gain access to a historical fort site and it's not Upper Fort Garry.
The old Fort Ellice site, which governments have been trying to buy for at least four decades, has finally been purchased from private interests and will soon be open to visitors.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada is the new title holder of the property near Russell, striking a deal with Arthur and Christine Fouillard, who have owned the land since 1955 and used much of it for pasture for livestock.
The Nature Conservancy will not say how much it paid, but the Free Press has learned the sale price was $1.8 million. That's for the Fouillards' entire 1,416 hectares, including some homes and other buildings. The fort site is only a small portion of that. The Fouillard family will maintain leasing rights to some buildings and pasture for a fee, the Nature Conservancy said.
"This has the opportunity to be a showcase for the Nature Conservancy of Canada in Manitoba in terms of conservation, education and research opportunities," said Winnipegger Ken Mould, whose donation, along with his wife, Sharon, made the deal a reality. Ken, a retired veterinarian, and Sharon, a retired family doctor, donated $265,000 to the sale. The rest of the money came from general grants the Nature Conservancy receives from the provincial and federal governments. The province donates $1.5 million per year.
"It just appealed to us on a number of accounts: Its important history, its songbird population, its attraction physically because of its river valleys. We're both Saskatchewan natives and have Prairie roots," said Mould.
"I think it's a great idea," said Gordon Goldsborough, secretary of the Manitoba Historical Society, who visited the Fort Ellice site last summer. "Fort Ellice is not as well-known as Fort Garry because it was not as busy, but it was a major fur trade post. I think this is important."
"For us, it's win-win," said RM of Ellice Reeve Guy Huberdeau. "We're going to have total access to a piece of property we wanted to begin with." Nature Conservancy has offered the municipality the fort site for $1 on a 25-year lease.
The Nature Conservancy's primary goal is the preservation of a unique ecosystem, said Kevin Teneycke, Brandon-based director for NCC.
The Fort Ellice site is a fusion of sandhill prairie, oak-aspen forest, mixed-grass prairie and aspen parkland. Some endangered species in its ecosystem include the Baird's sparrow, Sprague's pipit and chestnut-collared longspur.
However, NCC is well-aware of the site's historic significance. It has final say over plans being drawn up by the RM for some low-impact development, such as a walking trail and historic markers where buildings were located. The nearby village of St. Lazare also has a Fort Ellice Interpretive Centre.
Fort Ellice was once the main trade and transportation hub between Fort Garry and Fort Edmonton. A regular flow of oxcarts traversed the 427-kilometre trail from Fort Garry to Fort Ellice (Winnipeg's Ellice Avenue is named after the fort, which in turn is named after Edward Ellice, a British investor in the Hudson's Bay Company). The first Fort Ellice was built in 1831 and a new fort replaced it in 1862. The Hudson's Bay Company sold the property into private hands in 1925. The site is on a unique prairie mesa with a sprawling vista overlooking plains where thousands of bison once roamed. It's also bracketed by the Assiniboine Valley and is near the confluence of the Assiniboine and Qu'Appelle rivers.
The Fouillards fought a bitter expropriation battle with the RM of Ellice in recent years. The RM wanted to preserve and open the 116-hectare fort site to the public. The RM was forced to give up the expropriation when its legal costs -- it must pay legal costs for both sides in an expropriation -- grew to nearly $350,000 with no end in sight.
There are no remnants of the fort today other than indentations where the fort posts once stood and some historic grave sites. Both Métis and Dakota people consider the place a significant heritage site. Aboriginal and Métis people settled around the fort for the economy it started.
The fort site has potential as another tourist attraction in northwestern Manitoba with nearby Asessippi Ski Hill and the historic row of wooden grain elevators at Inglis. St. Lazare is about 40 kilometres south of Russell. The RM hopes the Fort Ellice site can be open to the public by next summer.

LANCASHIRE'S Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner Saima Afzal has supported early intervention to stop young people being forced into marriage, speaking from her own personal experience.
Many years ago, she was made to marry a man who then abused her. Now Miss Afzal said it was vital to change attitudes.
It means parents who force their children to marry can be punished by up to seven years in prison Ms Afzal said: "My father got me out of that relationship. I was pregnant.
"He said the man he had made me marry had dishonoured me. But he could have done with some support.
"If we focus on early intervention rather than just reacting, that's what we need to do. We need to change attitudes."
Home Secretary Theresa May said the practice was 'a tragedy for each and every victim' as a new law making it a criminal offence to force people into marriage took effect.
Previously, courts have only been able to issue civil orders to prevent victims being forced into marriage.
It will apply if people are forced into marriage in England and Wales or at risk of being forced into marriage abroad.

Yeah, I've often wondered, if there was a wheel, the could handle the nearly quarter ton of clay, that I've just been wanting to throw. I thought to myself, "I've got these nine boxes of clay, that are just taking up space, what if I make a vessel so large, that I couldn't possibly fire it."

Friendship bracelet bib colette laurel
Added Apr 19, 2013
by cathytxtwfr
Ouidah, Benin
I volunteer at an art and music school in Ouidah, Benin. About a month ago we had a group of Nigerian students come visit so I thought friendship bracelets would be a perfect project to do with them and my own Beninese students. After the activity, I found myself with a longing to continue making those bracelets. But I didn't want to wear them on my wrist, I wanted to put them on a dress.
I did a lot of braiding at the beach or outside when electricity would go out. As much as I enjoy sewing I enjoy being outdoors too, and it's nice to have projects where portions are portable.
And so here they are! I made 5 friendship bracelets and used it in the bib variation that can be found in the laurel extras booklet. The rest of this Laurel is made with secondhand bed sheets.
I wrote more in my sewing journal here: http://cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/04/19/friendship-bracelet-bib-colette-laurel/

Lightning Policy
In the event of lightning, the guidelines below will be followed during Sudbury Youth Soccer Association sanctioned events:
Suspension and Resumption of Activity
Outdoor activity must be suspended when lightning is a maximum of six miles away. The "30/30 Rule" should be followed when evaluating lightning danger: if lightning is 30 seconds away, it is too close, and do not resume play for 30 minutes from the last seen flash or last heard thunder.
For suspension, follow the 30 second "flash-to-bang" rule. The "flash-to-bang" method is the easiest and most convenient means for determining distance to the lightning flash, which is integral to assessing the need to postpone or suspend an activity:
Ø To use the flash to bang method, the observer begins counting when a lightning flash is sighted.
Ø Counting stops when the associated bang is heard.
Ø Divide this by 5 to determine the distance to the lightning flash (in miles). Example a count of 30 seconds equates to 6 miles.
Lightning should be monitored with the first flash of lightning or clap of thunder, no matter how far away the storm is. It is critical to monitor how far away the lightning is occurring and how fast the storm is approaching, relative to the distance of a safe shelter.
In the event that play is suspended, all individuals, including athletes, coaches, referees, and spectators, should immediately go indoors or to their cars to wait for the storm to pass. If unable to reach safe shelter, stay away from the tallest trees or objects (such as light poles or flag poles), metal objects (such as fences or bleachers), individual trees, standing pools of water, and open fields.
For resumption follow the 30 minute rule: Play should not be resumed until 30 minutes have passed since the last flash of lightning or clap of thunder.
Chain of Command
The team coaches are responsible for ensuring that their players are safe during the storm. If lightning occurs during a practice or a clinic, the team coaches and/or the technical staff coaches are responsible for monitoring weather conditions. The coaches are responsible for ensuring that all players are safe during the storm.

Making your lawn and garden lush, waste-free environments isn't as difficult as you might think.
- Use food scraps, yard trimmings, and other organic waste to create a compost pile. Compost is a rich soil amendment that can help increase water retention, decrease erosion, and replace chemical fertilizers.
- Don't over-fertilize. A slow-release organic fertilizer applied once in the fall is sufficient for most lawns. Consult your cooperative extension agent for other tips appropriate to your locality.
- Many plants and insects can serve as non-toxic, natural deterrents to weeds and garden pests. Introduce ladybugs to eat aphids, plant marigolds to ward off beetles, and look for quick-sprouting plants to block weed growth.
- If you have healthy plants that you want to replace, donate them to community gardens or schools, or offer them to neighbors.
- Buy recycled-content gardening equipment and tools, such as garden hoses made from old tires, stepping stones made from old glass bottles, or hand tools made with recycled plastic. You can also use plastic lumber made from recycled plastic bottles and bags to make flower beds, trellises, decks, and birdhouses.
- Recycle used oil and tires from lawn and garden equipment.
- Cut the bottoms off plastic milk jugs or use small paper bags to protect young seedlings from frost, wind, heavy rain, and roving animals. Remember to recycle the bags and jugs when the seedlings have grown.
- Reduce your use of fertilizers and pesticides by planting grass and other vegetation that is native to your area.
- Keep your lawn mower and other equipment in efficient operating condition by performing regular maintenance according to the owner's manual. Purchase a nozzle that prevents fuel spills when refilling your lawn mower. Use manual tools when appropriate to save fuel and protect air quality.
- Raise the cutting height of your lawn mower during the hot summer months to keep grass roots shaded and cooler, reducing weed growth, browning, and the need for watering. When you mow, "grasscycle" by leaving grass clippings on your lawn instead of bagging them or use a mulching mower. The clippings will return nutrients to the soil instead of taking up space in landfills.
- If you have a need for large lawn and garden equipment, such as tillers or chainsaws, you can reduce waste (and save money) by renting or borrowing the equipment.
- Shred untreated wood and leaf wastes into chips and use them as mulch on garden beds to prevent weed growth, retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and add nutrients back to the soil.
- Conserve water. Use barrels to collect rain water and use it to water plants. Check hoses for leaks before watering plants, and position sprinklers so they water only plants, not the sidewalk, street, or house. Also remember to water during the cooler parts of the day (early morning is best) to avoid evaporation.

Feed The Kids
Feed The Kids
PRESS RELEASE: Hone Harawira
Thursday 8th November 2012
"I think every New Zealander would agree that government's first priority should always be our children" said MANA Leader and MP for Te Tai Tokerau, Hone Harawira "so I'm really glad that my Feed the Kids Bill was drawn in today's ballot."
Harawira said that his Education (Breakfast and Lunch Programmes in School) Amendment Bill would provide free breakfast and lunches for all children in decile 1 and 2 schools in New Zealand.
"Since I put my bill into the ballot back in August, Labour has come out in support, Campbell Live has given a lot of profile to the issue, the Children's Commissioner's Expert Advisory Group on Child Poverty has recommended food in schools as an immediate solution to escalating child poverty, and I got a nice email of congratulations from the Greens today as well."
"Providing meals to children at school has also been strongly supported by groups like the Child Poverty Action Group and school principals and teachers around the country."
"This Feed the Kids Bill is a simple solution to a real problem, and I'd support it regardless of whose bill it was" said Harawira.
"I look forward to working with my parliamentary colleagues from right across the House to make this bill a reality."

Did you know?
?The Cango Caves were first discovered by San bushmen in prehistoric times. They lived in the cave's entrance and painted the walls with rock art.
Table Mountain
Cape Town's Table Mountain is the dramatic backdrop to one of the world's top destinations. A sunset dinner on the top of Table Mountain is hard to beat, with a panoramic 360° view of the city and the rugged Cape Peninsula.
Table Mountain also provides numerous trails for walking and hiking and for the more adventurous there is rock climbing or paragliding. The mountain is accessible via a high-tech rotating cable car or by various hiking routes. Along the way you can enjoy the species of plant life and the scenery which makes the Table Mountain National Park part of the Western Cape's Floral Kingdom, one of South Africa's eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Robben Island and Historic Attractions
Situated some 12 km from Cape Town harbour, Robben Island is the notorious prison where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 18 (of his 27) years in jail. You can visit the prison and tour the island, and pay homage to the great struggle heroes of the past.
Other notable historic attractions in Cape Town include the District Six Museum -
which highlights forced removals under the apartheid regime; and the Bo-Kaap Museum – a tribute to the Cape Malay culture and the Castle of Good hope, the oldest surviving colonial building in Africa.
The Whale Coast
The Sensational Whale Coast stretches from the hamlet of Rooiels in the west to Quoin Point in the east and is flanked by ocean and mountain views. A major highlight is the sighting of the Southern Right Whales that takes place between June and November.
If you're visiting us at the end of September, don't miss the Whale Festival that takes place annually in Hermanus.
The Cape Winelands
While the verdant valleys of the Cape Winelands can be reached on a day-trip from Cape Town, they are also a wonderful location for a longer getaway. This is an area of majestic mountains, spectacular passes, the historic towns of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschoek, and gracious Cape Dutch wine estates dating back to the 17th century.
There are 13 wine routes in the Western Cape with over 2 000 varieties of wine to taste. Enjoy one of the many superb restaurants located at some of the country's finest estates, and if you're in the mood for something different you can tread grapes and blend your own wine (great for team-building).
The Klein Karoo and Central Karoo
Don't be fooled by the dryness of the Klein Karoo and Central Karoo – under these infinite skies there's much archaeology, wildlife, architecture and some of the most impressive mountain passes. The Cango Caves outside Oudtshoorn drip with stalagtites and stalagmites, while the ostrich palaces located on farms have retained their yesteryear elegance.
Vin de Constance
In the early 19th century the wine of Constantia reached the height of its fame. Kings vied for possession of it. Louis Philippe sent emissaries from France to fetch it and Napoleon drank it on the island of St Helena, finding solace in his lonely exile.
The Garden Route
Up the south east coast, runs the aptly named Garden Route incorporating Mossel Bay, Sedgefield, George, Wilderness, Plettenberg Bay and Knysna.
It's a veritable Eden, edge-to edge in beaches, lakes, lagoons and forests, mixed with magnificent golf estates and cultural attractions and sprinkled liberally with thrills like bungee jumping, deep-sea fishing and sea kayaking.
You'll find the Outeniqua Hiking Trail, The Otter Trail and the Dolphin Trail in the lush Garden Route National Park and if you're in the mood for adventure why not jump off the highest commercial bungee jump in the world?
You can enjoy ocean encounters and ecological adventures at Plettenberg Bay with miles of sparkling beaches set next to the green swathes of polo fields. Here you can view bottlenose and the rare Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins as well as some shark species.
From Arch Rock you head into the middle of the Bay where pelagic seabirds are normally to be found some 7 km from the shore. Out there our resident Bryde's whales may be seen, as well as common dolphins, or southern right and humpback whales in season.
The West Coast
On the West Coast, walk the pathways of the early Khoisan, who left their signatures in hundreds of rock paintings, particularly in the rugged Cederberg mountain range. At the West Coast Fossil Park (a 90 minute drive from Cape Town) there's a rich find of animal fossils.
About mid-year, depending on the rains, the region breaks into a field of daisies, proteas and shrubs as the flower season starts. Also remember, the West Coast is renowned for exquisite seafood including prawns, crayfish and calamari.
Ocean Encounters
You can have an ecological adventures in Plettenberg Bay with miles of sparkling eaches set next to the green swathes of polo fields.
Here you can see Bottlenose and the rare Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins, as well as some shark species. From Arch Rock you head into the middle of the Bay where pelagic seabirds are normally to be found some 7 km from the shore.
Out there our resident Bryde's whales may be seen, as well as Common Dolphins, or Southern Right and Humpback whales in their season.

Rouge International bulks up slate ahead of Les Arcs
Julie Gayet and Nadia Turincev's Paris-based production company is also set to unveil rough-cut of A Spell To Ward off the Darkness in Les Arcs.
French production company Rouge International has boarded Czech Olmo Omerzu's upcoming picture Family Film alongside Prague-based Endorfilms ahead of its presentation at the Les Arcs Co-production market over the weekend.
Other minority co-producers on the film, about a brother and sister who are left to fend for themselves when their parents set off on a long journey, include Slovenia Arsmedia and Croatian Studio Dim.
It is Omerzu's second picture after his critically acclaimed debut A Night Too Young, about two young boys who end up passing New Year's Eve with a trio of hedonistic adults, which was presented at the Berlinale Forum in 2012.
"Our vision of filmmaking is very international, hence the international in our name… we don't want to produce 100% Franco-French fare," actress and producer Julie Gayet, co-chief of Paris-based Rouge International alongside Russian-born Nadia Turincev..
The company will also present a rough-cut of experimental filmmakers Ben Russell and Ben Rivers' documentary A Spell to Ward off the Darkness – exploring spirituality in a secular age - in Les Arcs' Work-in-Progress section.
The picture was recently acquired for Arte's respected Monday night documentary slot La Lucarne.
Rouge is also developing Russell and River's next picture Tuomo, a spin-off of A Spell about one of the characters, a Finnish man who sets off on a pilgrimage from Scandinavia to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
They recently took that project and Oliver Laxe's Morocco-set hybrid documentary Las Mimosas – exploring Sufism — to CPH:FORUM in Copenhagen.
Laxe's hybrid documentary fiction You All Are Captains, set around a children's film workshop in Tangiers, won the Fipresci prize in Directors' Fornight in 2010.
Las Mimosas is in a similar vein, says Gayet, adding: "We love these hybrid documentary fiction works."
Gayet and Turincev, a former Cannes Directors' Fortnight selector and artistic director at Moscow International Film Festival, created Rouge in 2007.
Past production credits include Cristian Jimenez' Bonsai, in which the company had a 50% stake, and Palestinian director Raed Andoni's hydrid documentary FIX ME.

Mad Cows and Hams
The MAD (making a difference) journey began two-and-a-half years ago when she moved to Hoedspruit and needed a new interest, says Clare Wilkie-Girardin, co-founder of the sustainable sourcing and responsible procurement business that includes a craft and coffee shop in the Limpopo town of Hoedspruit.
Having spent the years prior to her move running Shiluvari Lakeside Lodge in beautiful Venda, Clare had been exposed to lots of amazing artists and crafters and saw an opportunity to help market their work. Bianca Black, with a background in the art and décor business, had an extensive network of contacts in the creative and tourism sectors.
Together they came up with a concept to bridge the gap between local crafters and the consumer in an ethical and sustainable way. They formulated a business model that would pay the bills without compromising their integrity or killing the passion for South African art and crafts that they share.
As well as making a living, we wanted to make a difference; every product or project that we market has an ethos.
'As well as making a living, we wanted to make a difference; every product or project that we market has an ethos,' explains Clare.
The MAD Cows shop is filled with items Clare and Bianca have spent hours sourcing, often visiting the artists and the workshops where the goods are produced to be sure of their sustainability credentials. Products range from beaded and woven items to organic oils, wooden slabs and handcrafted lamps and clothing. 'And we're discovering new products all the time,' says Clare.
Their latest venture, MAD Hams, takes the same concept and applies it to food.
'It was never our intention to open a coffee shop,' laughs Claire, surrounded by customers who appear to be very glad they did. When the newly opened Rock Fig Centre in Hoedspruit was looking for a food and beverage tenant, it wasn't long before Clare and Bianca started talking about filling the gap, and in next to no time, they were on the road, sourcing small, artisanal food producers for the new coffee shop and deli.
Using small local suppliers like Wegraakbosch Organic Cheese Dairy in Haenertsburg, Fairtrade Puro coffee, jams from Hazel's Harvest, herbs from Hlokomela and vegetables from Rag Vegetable Growers, Clare and Bianca are employing the same sourcing principles they use to find crafts.
The quirky, fun name embodies what the venture is all about: aligning the coffee shop with the craft shop, referencing the deli and poking fun at the concept of madams. 'Besides, I just love pigs,' says Clare, who has a tattoo of a pot belly pig on her leg.
Working with chef Lucy Blunt to put together seasonal menus, MAD Hams is developing tasting platters, salads and a tapas menu, and serving everything from freshly squeezed juices and smoothies to decadent chocolate brownies and divine lemon and poppy-seed cake.
'Simplicity works and we believe in simple food made good, good food made simple,' says Clare.
The shop itself is full of vibrant colour and beautiful art; there is fast Wi-Fi and comfortable couches, and its layout means that you can sit on different sides of the building, depending on where the sun is, at different times of the day.
While MAD Hams won't be open at night, it will cater functions and has exciting plans to host things like movie nights and themed, one-off menus.
'I just love the concept of sharing food, and as with MAD Cows, we've gone with what we love,' says Clare.
This personal approach seems to work, injecting the MAD brand with oodles of personality and passion, and an authenticity that stems from Clare's and Bianca's sincere commitment to making a difference. That they and their customers have a ton of fun on the way is simply an unavoidably by-product of the process.

When these data frames are aligned they will have no shared indexes (i.e. datetime values). The problem is that some of my data is recorded every minute, on the minute (e.g. "b" above; great, that's easy to deal with!), while some is recorded every 2-5 minues (e.g. like "a" above; not necessarily on the minute), while other data is only recorded once per week (e.g. like "c" above). This alignment issue can be partially mitigated by rounding to the nearest minute, but when I want to compare data like "a" & "c" I run into problems. Is there a way to align data from "a" with "c" with the condition that any data point within a specified cutoff (say 5 minutes) is a valid match? Ideally, this would allow some flexibility in my alignment procedures without requiring me to do some nasty filling of the data sets.

Mundane Journey by THE NOOB, Lincøln, Lank, SAM LAVIGNE !, Myrna Minx, lara black, Jeremy Cezanne, Bjørn Teuleuse, Sean MahanMay 7th, 2009 10:07 PM / Location: 37.783389,-122.4394
Our Mundane Journey began because Lincoln was in town and wanted to get something done with as many SFØ players as possible. So Lank, Noob and Lincoln got together and came up with a plan. The phone number was called. A time was set. An event was created.
On the proper day and time, Lank & Lincoln came from the East, while Noob & Cezanne came from the South. They met up en route and when they four arrived at the corner in question they were greeted by Bjorn. The five initial explorers headed to the NorthEast corner as they were instructed to do. And no sooner did the arrive when they were joined by the lovely Miss Minx.
These six went about exploring the corner as well as it could be explored. The corner was dominated by a Honeybaked Ham store. It had the shape and feel of a store, but it did not look at all inviting. It was certainly closed currently, but it may have been closed for some time. There were boxes in the display windows, where perhaps there should have been ham, or gift baskets or something other than cardboard boxes. This was very curious. There was a lot of empty space in the store. There were very few displays, and the displays that were there looked fake somehow, like they were props from a movie. But a low budget movie. The corner also had newspaper vending machines and a trash can on the West side and a bus stop on the South side.
We were convinced that there had to be more to this corner so we entered the building that occupied the corner. We decided to take the elevator to the top floor. Once on the top floor a door was discovered that led to a storage type room, and in the back of the room a door was discovered that led to the roof. So after our intrepid group found roof access, we went to the corner of the building and took a group photo (with Sutro in the background).
And once the roof was thoroughly explored, we went down to check out the North West corner. It was at this time that our fearless adventurers were fortified by three new members, as Sam, Sean & Lara showed up. So now with nine members, we headed off to the North West corner at full strength.
The North West corner was dominated by the Sanai Memorial Chapel. A place for Jews. We got the joke. A chapel for the Jewish across the street from a store that sells ham. We explored every inch of the outside of this building. The front doors were locked, but Lincoln rang the bell and asked if we could look around, maybe take a tour? We were told that we could certainly take a tour, but it would have to wait for normal business hours. Poop. But we looked around and explored every inch of that corner, look at the pictures for more information on what we found.
From there we traversed the cross walk to the South West corner where, to all intents and purposes, we wandered about, witnessed and absorbed our surroundings. Some of us looked for clues, while some of us dérived and some of us just noticed the world going by around us. That corner was pretty dead with hardly anything at all really... oh wait, there was a chainlink fence with an array of locks locked to locks and locks locked to fence. It was a sight that we all bore witness to, admired, and then carried on. Behind that fence was a parking lot paved with gravel and dressed with the occasional weed growing at its perimeter. On to the next corner.
The main feature of the South East corner was an apartment complex with giant pine trees growing in front of it. A woman walked by and Bjorn and Lincoln got into a conversation with the nice lady about the corner and it's features. We discussed the signs and possible future corner improvements, and the nature of the Mundane Journey. We decided to check out the apartment building. On the side closest the corner were the fire stairs. We all decided it was best to take those fire stairs to the top. When we got to the floor and before the stairs got to the roof there was a chain obstructing the roof access with a sign hanging from the chain instructing all unauthorized persons to keep out. Since we had to find roof access (again), we had to trespass on the way. Now that we all made it up to the roof, there wasn't much to see. It was just a gravel roof. But we explored it thoroughly. We took a group photo, but it was taken on Sam's camera (because Lincoln's good camera ran out of battery) and Sam hasn't uploaded photos yet. Maybe someday you'll get to see that group photo.
Once we were done with the roof, we went down. On the ground floor was a suggestion box mounted to the side of the building, so we all decided to write suggestions and put them in. While we were in the middle of writing our suggestions, the building manager came out to see what we were up to. There were a lot of us and she wasn't sure what we were up to. She wasn't hostile, but she was curious. And she didn't understand the concept of a Mundane Journey. She thought we should maybe all go see a movie or something. There wasn't anything interesting about an old apartment complex. We tried to tell her that was the point. But Bjorn and Lincoln just talked in circles. Everybody remained very polite, but we could tell she wanted us off of the property, so we excused ourselves.
We all went to lunch together, and then went our separate ways. The story would have been over there, except that while walking home, Lincoln spotted the land lady from the apartment complex walking home. She waved, he waved back, and he went over to talk to her, and they talked for quite a long time. Apparently she was waiting for her brother to show up, which is why she was looking out the door, so when she saw us, she assumed we were her brother's friends. But when she got out there and saw all of the white people and her brother wasn't among us, she then wondered why we were lurking out her back door. Once all of that was cleared up, and she realized we were just out to explore, Lincoln and she talked about philosophy and human nature and fun things to do in San Francisco.
The journey was rather mundane, it was a journey anybody could take on any day in any city, but because we were looking for something to happen, things happened. We found adventure and interaction and possibility where perhaps others that were looking for the fastest way home would have missed the details we all picked up on.
We think there is a lesson to be learned in this. Mundane Journeys can be taken anytime anywhere, and you don't need a voice on an answering machine from some phone number to tell you to go find it.

A very thorough exploration of this mundane corner.
Jellybean of Thark on May 10th, 2009 12:45 PM
I have seen walls like that one before. The suggestion often has an effect opposite to that desired.
JTony Loves Brains on August 6th, 2009 11:35 AM
I know that corner well, being next to Kaiser. The ham store has good sandwiches as well as giant hams, but does their business more on word of mouth (if you'll excuse the pun) than on their store displays. Hooray for roof access!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/8/2014 (1107 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A pledge by mayoral candidate Gord Steeves to reduce public intoxication in downtown Winnipeg has been derailed by a four-year-old comment by his spouse, who complained on Facebook of harassment by "drunken native guys" while her husband was a city councillor.
On Friday afternoon, Steeves stood near the Portage Avenue bus stop in front of Portage Place and promised to hire more police cadets and intensify police patrols to improve public safety in downtown Winnipeg.
The lawyer and former St. Vital councillor said he would like to spend $600,000 to $800,000 to ensure an additional 20 police cadets patrol the heart of the city, over and above existing police, cadet and business improvement zone patrols and social-work efforts aimed at combating public intoxication.
"No person who is drunk or high will be allowed to linger downtown. No person struggling with mental illness will be left to their own devices downtown," said Steeves, promising to work with the province and Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries to more rigorously enforce existing public-intoxication rules. This would require police board approval, he said.
Steeves, who has spent the past two weeks trying to position himself as the mayoral candidate of choice on the right, appeared to be gaining momentum for his campaign with a series of provocative announcements.
Within hours of his downtown-safety pledge, however, a seldom-used Twitter account circulated a screen-capture image of a 2010 Facebook post by Lorrie Steeves, the candidate's spouse, who expressed dissatisfaction with "getting harrassed (sic) by the drunken native guys" in downtown Winnipeg skywalks.
"We need to get these people educated so they can make their own damn money instead of hanging out and harrassing (sic) the honest people who are grinding away working hard for their money," she wrote on her Facebook page, which was completely open for all viewers to read.
"We all donate enough money to government to keep their sorry assess [sic] on welfare, so shut the (expletive) up and don't ask me for another handout."
Lorrie Steeves issued a news release just before 6 p.m. Friday, apologizing for what she'd written.
"In 2010, while I was working downtown, I was regularly harassed for money and often put in a position where I feared for my safety," Steeves said Friday. "One day in particular, four years ago, was very bad and out of frustration I vented on my personal Facebook page. I feel terrible about these comments. I am terribly sorry and apologize. I do not clear my Facebook posts or status updates with my husband."
Reached by telephone earlier Friday, Lorrie Steeves said she wanted to consult with her spouse before commenting. She made the post in February 2010, when Steeves was the councillor for St. Vital. He resigned in 2011 to run for office as a provincial Progressive Conservative.
Steeves was speechless when he was read the content of the post. He declined to immediately comment.
A screen-captured image of the post was first distributed by a Twitter user with the handle @DarlingDarleneJ. The image is the first tweet issued by that account. The user declined to respond to queries about his or her real name or involvement in any Winnipeg mayoral campaign or Manitoba political party.
Lorrie Steeves' four-year-old Facebook post overshadowed her spouse's downtown-safety announcement, which also called for the re-establishment of a Winnipeg Police Service office in a Portage Avenue storefront, closer monitoring of liquor licensees who over-serve their clients and the deployment of more police and cadets at times when public intoxication is more frequent.
Steeves said a small group of chronic offenders is responsible for the majority of charges under the Intoxicated Persons Detention Act and said he would like to see those people get the help they need from social-service or mental-health agencies.
He said Winnipeggers still do not feel safe downtown, in spite of recent improvements in surveys about the perception of safety in the heart of Winnipeg.
Steeves acknowledged that if elected mayor, he would need police-board approval to apply new resources downtown. Steeves said what he is proposing would augment existing programs run by agencies such as the Downtown Winnipeg Business Improvement Zone, which he said he did not consult.
Downtown Winnipeg BIZ executive director Stefano Grande, who spoke in an interview before Lorrie Steeves' comments came to light, said three social workers under his employ have helped 50 people living on the street find housing -- and 18 police officers devoted to daytime foot patrols have improved the perception of downtown public safety.
He said he supports a pledge by any candidate to increase resources aimed at improving downtown safety.

Rangers' Holland outpitches Felix in Seattle
Lefty leads Texas to record-tying 18th win vs. Mariners ace
SEATTLE -- Rangers pitcher Derek Holland has eight wins against the Mariners, his most against any team, and he still has not given up an earned run in Safeco Field as a starter.
But this victory wasn't against just any Mariners pitcher. This one was against Felix Hernandez, and beating him for the first time on Saturday night was a big deal for Holland.
"I've got to match the opposing pitcher, that's what it comes down to," Holland said. "I think I did a good job of staying with him pitch for pitch and went a little deeper in the game. But that's a great pitcher over there, and I'm still trying to make a name for myself."
Holland allowed only two unearned runs over 6 2/3 innings and the Rangers defeated Hernandez's Mariners, 5-2, on Saturday night at Safeco Field. The former American League Cy Young Award winner has now lost to Texas a record-tying 18 times.
"It doesn't feel like that," said Nelson Cruz, who struck out twice but also hit his fourth career home run off Hernandez. "He usually pitches good and goes deep in the game. It's just one of those things. I guess we've faced him so much that we have a pretty good idea."
David Murphy has faced Hernandez more than any other pitcher in his career, and he helped the Rangers' cause with a two-out, two-run double in the second inning. He also drove in a run with a single off left-handed reliever Oliver Perez in the sixth.
"We're more familiar with Hernandez because he's in our division and we face him more," Murphy said. "But he's still a good pitcher. You're not going to just show up and win. You still have to grind out your at-bats. We did that tonight and found a way to get some big hits."
Murphy is now hitting .328 with eight runs, four home runs and 16 RBIs over his last 19 games after going 2-for-5 on Saturday night.
"You're not going to go 4-for-4 or 5-for-5 every night," Murphy said. "The key is to have as many quality at-bats as possible. Tonight things were clicking a little bit and they've been clicking for the past week or two. Hopefully that will continue."
Hernandez allowed five runs on 11 hits and a walk with nine strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings. He has lost twice to the Rangers this season and is 12-18 with a 3.87 ERA in 38 career starts against them. Former Angel Chuck Finley is the only other pitcher with 18 losses vs. Texas.
"They came out swinging," Hernandez said. "I mean, they put together great at-bats. They put the ball in play and they found holes. I threw good pitches, but they hit them. I definitely liked my stuff."
The 11 hits were the second-most Hernandez has given up in 36 career starts against Texas.
"We worked him pretty good and made him throw pitches," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We didn't chase many pitches outside the strike zone, and when he threw the ball in the strike zone, we made enough contact to find some holes."
Holland, who has won all three of his starts at Safeco Field, is now 8-2 with a 3.39 ERA in 10 career starts against the Mariners.
Holland's two runs allowed were unearned because of a third-inning error by shortstop Elvis Andrus. He gave up four hits and three walks while striking out a season-high 10 batters. His 119 pitches were also a season high. Holland, 4-2 with a 2.97 ERA on the season, remains undefeated in May at 3-0 with a 2.53 ERA in five starts -- all Rangers wins.
"I thought he was in control the whole night," Washington said. "He had control of the ballgame. He moved the ball around, kept the fastball out of the middle of the plate, good slider, good changeup, threw some good breaking balls."
Joe Nathan worked a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his 16th save in 16 opportunities, the longest streak of his career to begin a season. Nathan has also saved 31 straight on the road for the Rangers and 36 straight overall on the road going back to his time with the Twins. That's the fifth-longest road save streak since 1969. Eric Gagne holds the record with 64 straight road saves from 2002-07 with the Dodgers and Rangers.

Dash to Splash celebrates 15th year with students and faculty at Bastyr University
A long run gets the blood pumping. Then, if that isn't enough, strip down to a bathing suit in 40 degree temperatures. Finally, take a shorter run right into the frigid waters of Lake Washington and try to grab a duck. That was the fun for about 25 people who participated in the 15th annual Dash to Splash event at Bastyr University on Monday.
"It was not bad at all," said Bastyr science professor Steven Rude. "It is not cold once you get out. The energy of everyone here makes it easier. But once is enough."
Rude, who has done a Polar Bear Dash before, is in his first year at the college and said that it was a good way to immerse himself in the culture.The tradition is held each year on the first day back from winter break and the first day of the new year of classes.
"It was started by past faculty and they have moved on," said Bastyr science professor Becky Love. "I took over things and we have had as many as 50 people out for this and as few as three."
The event drew 23 people and a dog at noon on Monday.
"It is to bless the new year and new quarter," said Love. "The day we had just three people it was snowing."
Participants ran into the lake to try to get a rubber ducky. Those lucky enough to grab one received "prizes." Those with the smallest duckies received pepper flakes. Medium duckies received some dark chocolate. Those with the largest duckies received a warm piece of clothing like a knit hat.
Student Jim Gilchrist said that the event was what persuaded him to enroll at Bastyr.
"I saw it on the website and knew it was the right decision," said Gilchrist.
Gilchrist is now the president of the college's Polar Bear Club where members run into the lake weekly, no matter what time of the year or the weather.
And the threshold for what some can stand varies from those who went in quickly and got out to those who went back for seconds and went out as far into the lake as possible.
"I only went in up to my knees," said student Stacy Wallace. "The wind ads an extra nip to the experience."
No matter how far they went in, all got credit for participating in the chilly event. And all had to hike back up the hill to the university.

Print Ariat International has been providing boots since 1993. Co-founders Beth Cross and Pam Parker both realized in 1990, that many traditional English and Western riding boots were not suitable for equestrian riding. With their expertise and with a footwear background, they realized there was a need for improved riding boots for men, women and kids. Using their knowledge in athletic footwear, they began making performance enhancing changes to their riding boots, giving these athletes an edge. Ariat Boots quickly became known as the most innovative and performance riding boots. They provide the same technology in men's riding boots, women's riding boots and kids riding boots. They totally redesigned the traditional outsole, arch support and last shape and took Ariat Boots to the next level in riding boot technology. While building the technology into these western riding boots, Ariat had hundreds of top riders help design and develop their final product. Today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear as well as offering the most stylish western boots on the market. Ariat Boots offers a wide range of products from English and Western riding boots, work boots and casual boots. Their forward thinking and performance lines outfit today's most avid equestrian riders and enthusiasts. If you are the professional rider who absolutely demands performance boots or the novice who likes to ride around from time to time, Ariat definitely has the boots for every man, woman or child. We have all of the top styles including the Fatbaby boots, Heritage Western, the Dixie and the QuickDraw. These styles are all must have for men's western boots, women's western boots or kids western boots. The casual look and performance driven Ariat Boots will provide you with long comfy rides in the country or a relaxing day in the sun. Get yours today!

Residents at Wingfield Care Home in Trowbridge turned out in numbers to help Hannah Carruthers raise money for a five-day charity trek to Machu Picchu.
Miss Carruthers, left, from Trowbridge, a business management student at Portsmouth University, is trekking the Inca Trail in Peru with a group of fellow students in August.
The 20-year-old had to raise a minimum of £2,950 for the charity and thanks to the Wingfield Activities Team she has hit her target.
The care home held a cake sale last month for her chosen charity Breast Cancer Campaign, which raised over £300. She said she had been fundraising for the charity since October last year and thanked everyone who has helped. Miss Carruthers' nan, Joyce Bye, knows a resident at the home and asked for help which the home happily gave.

A LEADING campaigner in the fight to rid Cradley of dilapidated buildings has accused Dudley Council of failing to use its powers to prevent years of dereliction.
Some of the Colley Gate shops have been empty for more than a decade and neighbouring residents could face another 18 months before a solution is found.
Of the five derelict premises, two were set on fire by arsonists last month, and have finally been boarded up and secured by the council.
But they belong to two absent landlords, Shakil Hussain and Edwin Goodman, who have failed to maintain them despite appeals from local people.
Cradley MP Margot James has been considering pressing for changes in the law to give local authorities increased powers to take action in such cases.
But in a bombshell response to the town's action group she revealed: "There are powers that are at the disposal of local authorities that, if used, will ensure that such properties are maintained to a decent standard. Hence I don't think we need new laws."
Ms James highlighted current legislation contained in four sections of three Acts of Parliament which grant councils powers to maintain the standards of land and buildings.
Cradley Action Group co-founder Chris Legiewicz accused the council of "dragging its feet" in failing to use its powers more quickly.
She said: "This has been going on for years, but the council has had the power to act all along.
"It's crazy, they keep telling me they are doing all they can, but action could have been take much earlier – we did not need to have this situation."
The dereliction has led Cradley residents to liken Colley Gate to Beirut and Mrs Legiewicz said they were "embarrassed" by the rundown state of the area.
The council has put the site up for redevelopment and interested parties have until the end of the month to express and interest, after which if the owners refuse a reasonable offer for the purchase of their premises, the council will seek to compulsory purchase them.
But Councillor Rachel Harris, cabinet member for legal and property, said: "If we do have to go down the compulsory purchase order route there are certain processes that are prescribed which means that we are not in control of the timescales. If this happens it is conceivable that it could take anything up to around 18 months to complete."
She added: "We are aware of the legislative routes open to us, but each Act is only applicable in certain circumstances. We are confident that we have used the powers that have been available to us that were applicable in these particular sets of circumstances.
"Ideally all of the property owners will act on the basis of what is good for the area and work with any new developer. If this happens then the developer could assemble the site quite quickly."
