Advancing Dairy Farming
Sep 01, 2017
Starting a new job (adventure) is sometimes difficult, particularly after a crisis.
Over the last couple of months, I have had the opportunity to sit down and discuss many of the issues that the dairy industry has faced.
Last year was an extremely challenging time in the world of dairy, both internationally and domestically.
Many farmers were hit by late season farmgate step-downs, which came after a difficult season due to dry conditions and increased input costs.The lack of demand and oversupply of dairy worldwide caused prices to crash which left many farmers with significant debt.
No doubt it will take the industry a long time to recover, not just financially but emotionally as well.
Now, when some dairy farmers may still be questioning their future I challenge all within the dairy industry to work with each other in collaboration to show our farmers what we can provide for their future.
The future of dairy must become exciting and rewarding. It needs to be driven by smart business decisions, strong leadership and the willingness to work through our differences to get the job done.
This will not happen by accident, rather through visionary people working across the whole supply chain.
We realise that some dairy farmers have reached a 'fork in the road' and are looking for immediate answers. It would be wrong of us to say we had all the answers, which we don't.
Let's get our collective efforts behind something we can do in partnership for our industry.
Advancing dairy farming is our top priority.

Looking for information about Hubert Topham CLEMENTS aka Harry Carew
Hubert Topham CLEMENTS b.1830 in England his Father Henry Topham CLEMENTS and mother Caroline Sarah Smith.
He came to New Zealand end of the 1800. Facts are a bit shaky but I think his wife was Ada Ford and they were married in Australia in 1895.
They had a son born in New Zealand in 1898 Henry Gerald Topham CLEMENTS.
Hubert, Ada and their son Gerald went back to England in 1906. Gerald was left in England in the care of relatives and Hubert went back to New Zealand. I don't know what happened to Ada.
Hubert changed his name to Harry Carew and in 1914 married Catherine McShane. As far as I know they did not have any children together. He died in Auckland in 1944.
Would love to find out why he changed his name and what happened to his first wife and why Gerald was left in England.

- Description
by Phoebe Roberts
The English countryside in Shropshire, 1922. Welcome to Woodplum House, the ancestral home of the prestigious Lilywhite family in the charming rural village of Stoke-on-Stump! Lord Nigel Lilywhite is hosting a lovely garden party preceeding the afternoon wedding of his only daughter Emmeline, with only a few choice intimates in attendance before all the guests show up for the ceremony. But in this silly comedy of manners, the polite social occasion will be turned upside down by lovers' quarrels, raffish pranks, and scandalous secrets of misspent youths. There may even be a mystery or two to solve! Join these genteel aristocrats as what should be a civilized afternoon tea erupts into high-spirited comedic escapades! A 2-hour light, comedic game in parody of the works of P.G. Wodehouse, with no actual characters harmed. Expect roleplay-heavy gameplay with a high reliance on schtick and absurdity, with some interpersonal puzzle-solving.

Thursday night was most definitely a night to showcase and wear one of my favourite dresses I own.
I needed something to make me feel fabulous, feminine, stylish and to showcase my playful personality.
(All shall be revealed soon!).
When you think those things you think Betsey...well I do.
Dress- Betsey Johnson
Shoes- New Look
Betsey Johnson is a designer synonymous with that whimsical edge and her dresses never fail to make a lasting impression. This dress I picked up over a year ago in the sale and fell in love with it instantly.
I am a big fan of her evening/Prom wear the most. If I could dress up every night like this I would love it....her New York Fashion week collection reminds me of Barbie at her finest, and just to clarify that ain't no insult....Barbie is a fashion icon!
New York Fashion Week
|Don't you just love her? I think if I met her we'd get along great
and be best friends! ha
April this year the devastating and shocking news that her company has filed for bankruptcy is such a great shame to the fashion world meaning around 63 of her boutiques will be closing down.
The nearest one to me is in Covent Garden and it really is the most beautiful boutique.
The tiled floor, the changing rooms, the decor...it really is a shoppers paradise.
|Tori Spelling on the red carpet wearing the same Betsey dress in Red
Who wore it better me or Tori? hee hee
|Katy Perry wearing a Betsey Johnson from her Spring/Summer 2011 collection
I am in love with this dress, reminds me of mystical mermaid/ Jelly Fish!
Teamed with an orchid clip in my hair I was ready to rock and face London Town.
Don't you worry fashionistas She will still be designing and working with Macy's and showcasing her new work in Fashion Week in September, phew!

Here's a question: How do you respond to challenge? With what sort of intention, attention? Do you push, strain and drive, or breathe and allow? How do you roll with intensity and devout physical demands? Shall we find out?
Here's your intensely felt, gleefully advanced 90-minute deep dive into the entirely of your body, your breath, your true yogic intention, as we work all parts, all rhythms, messing with expectation and, with any luck, centering your heart and calming your frenzied mind so you can get to back to the core, your true divine nature, where the real nectar resides.
Translation: Multiple flavors of warrior, deep lunges, hip and leg work, bows and dolphins, deep twists and wild things galore, all woven with powerful mandalas (spinning around this way and that) and fiery intention to burn off your resistance.
I mean, enough whining, already. Let's get to it. You'll be fine, I'm almost sure of it.

perfect!!! the time flew...enjoyed every minute
The 80min felt like 50min perfect class timing and filled with steady amount of poses.
would have been better for me if it wasn t so hand-centric. my fingers, knuckles, and base of thumbs were so swollen and painful as the practice progressed i couldn t finish and just cried. yoga has become so miserable with RA. it s easier for me to do cardio and that sucks. i used to do this practice alot and loved it, but now the pain makes me sick
Great flow. I was laughing thru much of it. I wish I could really Uber to plank pose. I lost a lot of yoga points from falling. Oh well. Some of the longer classes, I lose my focus and get bored. Not this one, the time flew by.
Wonderful class...excellent cuing and pace. Loved it!
Loved this class. Mark is one of my favorite instructors. I love his energy and sense of humor. This class is challenging and has modifications to make it challenging for years to come.
Description was accurate, very interesting linking of poses. I really liked that the class was 85 minutes, and the time went by quickly. I wish that more instructors would challenge their student with longer classes. I really like Mark s clear instruction, while always leaving the option open to explore going to the next level. The standing pose sequence was very challenging but rewarding. This one will definitely end up in my travel library. Keep them coming Mark.
Love this class. Great instructor. Much needed. Much appreciated.
Great class! It starts slowly but don t let that fool you. It gets quite challenging. Great progressive flow and workout for entire body.
Loved the flow! Intense and heat building. I like the variations you can step up to or keep it less intense. I always get a good workout from Mark! He exceeds my expectations! My body felt good afterwards!
Loved it. Intense, challenging, but relaxing.
This is the perfect class to get you back in your groove. It strengthens and fires the entire body. And in typical Mark Morford fashion, this class guides you through each pose perfectly and allows you to reach your fullest potential while inspiring you to let your positive light shine. Thank you Mark!
Awesome! Your muscles heat up quickly.
That was fantastic! Goes by so quickly. I feel more energized, not worn out from this practice. His sequencing is really thought out so you work intentionally without exasperating yourself. Saved to favorites. I hope to see more heat building flows from Mark!
Thanks for another amazing class! Challenging and inspiring! Definitely feeling it the next day too.
Great class, Long but good pacing and I always appreciate that Mark encourages gentleness and modification. I surely needed both. Excellent full body workout.
Waited till I could make time for this longer practice and was worth it. Great class for me, thanks.
Best class ever!!! Thank you Mark! Keep them coming!

Olly's idea of a Spa treat is undoubtedly different to that of the average man or woman in the street. Not for him a bit of pampering and relaxation, but instead the opportunity to race at the celebrated 7.4km Spa-Francorchamps race track in the Ardennes region of Belgium.
"I absolutely love the Spa track," says the 37-year-old Corvette Racing driver who, this coming weekend, will be racing for the Mad Croc Racing team in the fifth round of the FIA GT1 World Championship. "I'm really looking forward to going back there although it will be a bit strange to have just two one-hour races instead of being there for the 24-hour event like last year.
"Spa is a real racer's track, and one you can get your teeth into. It's so challenging and just a classic place to go and drive any race car. The GT1 Corvette seems to very much suit this track and it's a huge amount of fun to drive it there. Spa is a fast track so you really have to work at getting past people, and have to think hard about where you're going to do it. The weather is often very variable which adds another element to your strategy and planning because, just like at Le Mans, it can be raining on one side of the track and not on the other."
Olly was one of the stars of the 2009 Spa 24 Hours event, in contention for the lead for nearly 22 of the 24 hours until an engine problem prevented him from seeing the challenge through to the chequered flag. Setting fastest lap of the race for the Belgian SRT team was a small compensation for the disappointment. With Mad Croc Racing also operated by Patrick Selleslagh and his small, family-run team, Oliver and his Finnish team mate Pertti Kuismanen will have a definite 'home' advantage.
"I think we should be reasonably competitive," he notes, "but it's difficult to know until we get going where we stack up with the recent performance balancing and whatever else has happened since the last round. Patrick and Pertti did a half day of testing a few weeks ago and that was reasonably successful. It's Mad Croc's home race so want a good showing this weekend, and I think we have a solid foundation to go into the race."
All the latest action can be followed online at www.gt1world.com including live streaming of the two 60-minute races from the Spa Francorchamps circuit in the Ardennes region of Belgium. Practice and pre-qualifying take place on Thursday, 29th July and the first of the two one-hour races, the qualifying race, takes place at 3:00pm (CET) on Friday. The Championship race takes place on Saturday, 31st July at 12:05 pm.

Tony Ferguson Congratulates Conor McGregor, But Says Champ is "Holding Onto my Belt"
By FCF Staff
Tony Ferguson has no issues with Conor McGregor stepping away from the UFC to box Floyd Mayweather, but the contender wants to keep the promotion's 155 division moving.
Last week it was confirmed that McGregor will face Mayweather on August 26th, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout will mark the first time McGregor has competed since last November, when he stopped Eddie Alvarez to become the lightweight champ.
Ferguson spoke to MMA Junkie recently, and "El Cucuy" had this to say about McGregor:
"I have to say congratulations (to McGregor); that's a (expletive) of money for them. That's a lot of (expletive) lettuce, but don't forget about the UFC cage, because you're holding onto my belt. I'm over here. Let's fight for an interim belt while Conor is doing his other thing. Let's get something going. The interim title is vacant. That (expletive) needs to be in my hands. (I'm on a) nine-fight winning streak, and 10 sounds better, so let's get it moving."
The surging lightweight also weighed-in on the upcoming Mayweather – McGregor bout, and while doing so Ferguson stated "I have to say that Conor's boxing is not up to par. It is not up to par to how Mayweather's boxing is going to be…"
Ferguson also hasn't fought since November, when he earned a decision win over Rafael dos Anjos.

"Nick and I have worked closely together on many successful projects over the last 18 years. Nick's attention to detail has been superb and I especially appreciate his ability to minimize change orders during the course of the job. I highly recommend CALDER CUSTOM BUILDING on the majority of our projects."
–Rich Rushton, Rushton-Chartock Architects
"We were fortunate to locate Nick and his crew at Calder Custom Building for our total house remodel and expansion to 3,000 square feet. This hard-working group was able to accomplish all our goals on schedule and on budget, which speaks volumes based on the scope of work and irregularity of the project. There were numerous one-of-a-kind features, including stacking ponds, waterfalls, mosaic tiled bathrooms, an engineered roof deck and cast plaster wainscoting – all of which Calder Custom Building executed with absolute precision. We also appreciated Nick's creative eye and knack for finding elegant solutions to tricky problems without unexpected costs. We can't imagine any other builder having done as good a job and we could not be happier with the results."
-Scott & Toni Pinsky
"Nick worked with us closely start to finish on our large remodeling project, took a real interest in the design and materials and made some great suggestions on alternate choices, and was always around to provide supervision to his crew. And he came on budget! We highly recommend Calder Custom Building."
-Carol and Timothy Gee
"Calder Custom Building have been the contractor for many of my residential projects over the past seven years. They are excellent builders, have a very reliable and consistent crew, and make my job as the architect much easier. Above all, my clients are very happy with them."
–Onju Updegrave, Architect
"I have worked with Nick Calder many times over the past 15 years on a myriad of complex projects. As an Architect I have always been impressed and appreciative of Nick's abilities to maintain design intent with a high degree of craftsmanship while staying on budget. He has utilized the same well-coordinated crew ever since I have worked with him which speaks to his efficiency and competence for delivering projects on time. I endorse Nick and the team at Calder Custom Building implicitly."
–Bryan Murdock, Architect, Murdock Architecture – Mill Valley
"I worked with Nick on a major renovation and expansion of a 3500 square foot house in Sleepy Hollow (finished 5/2013). Nick is an excellent contractor. He consistently generated good ideas for my project from both a practical and an aesthetic prospective. In addition, he always focused on cost effective solutions to any problems that arose. Even my neighbors commented on the solid work ethic of his crew, and I was very happy with the quality of the work he provided. Whenever I made requests for additional materials or changes, Nick followed up very quickly and was completely fair in his pricing. In addition, there was none of the typical slowing down at the end of the project. Nick and his crew powered through to the end, and took care of the final punch list without delay. I highly recommend Nick to anyone who is undergoing a home renovation."
-Lisa James
"Having had the good fortune to have had built three custom homes and numerous commercial projects over the last forty years, I have found that picking the right contractor is the most perilous part of the project. Good contractors make for sunny days and poor ones bleak, overcast, drizzly ones. I hired Nick Calder for a number of reasons. He seemed like a pleasant no B. S., competent fellow that I thought I could work with. His bid was straightforward and included some sensible improvements. Nick's price was the lowest, however that had little to do with my choice, and one of the things I've learned over the years is that a bargain is not always a joy forever – in this case it was! Years ago someone referred to me as a "critical son of a bitch" probably with some basis in fact. During our construction I noted no short cuts or improbable techniques. Everything was done as well or better than expected. To say that I am happy with the outcome would be an understatement."
-Ron Bennett

Maintaining high-quality infrastructure is essential to the economic vitality and quality of life of communities. A good capital planning and budgeting process helps communities make smart investments in infrastructure and, thereby, investments in the future. A capital planning and budgeting process has three basic steps:
- Define scope of the capital improvement plan (CIP). A government must decide what constitutes a "capital project" and how far into the future it will plan. Processes such as needs assessment can help define the scope.
- Determine participants and select projects. A government must decide who will be involved in creating the CIP and then select projects to include in the CIP.
- Balance the CIP and connect to the budget. The capital investment choices must be financially sustainable, both in terms of the initial capital outlay and long-term operating and maintenance. Replacement costs and ongoing debt service should be part of a long-term financial plan.
- Manage the project. Capital projects must be carefully managed in order to come in on time, on budget, and within specifications.
Best Practices & Advisories
GFOA identified the following best practices related to capital planning and budgeting.
- Multi-Year Capital Planning - GFOA recommends that state and local governments prepare and adopt comprehensive multi-year capital plans to ensure effective management of capital assets.
- Capital Planning Policies - GFOA recommends that governments develop and adopt capital planning policies
- The Role of Master Plans in Capital Improvement Planning - GFOA recognizes the role of Master Plans as one of the CIPs important elements and recommends that governments link the CIP to master plans.
- Environmentally Responsible Practices in Capital Planning - GFOA recommends that finance officers evaluate both the financial and non-financial impacts of a project including environmentally-responsible measures
- Communicating Capital Improvement Strategies - GFOA recommends that organizations develop a communications plan for public participation focused on explaining capital needs, options, and strategies and facilitating feedback in advance of any major capital program.
- Presenting the Capital Budget- GFOA recommends that governments follow several guidelines when presenting the capital budget.
- Technology in Capital Planning and Management - GFOA recommends that finance officers take an organizational-wide approach to using technology for capital program management.
- Capital Project Monitoring and Reporting - GFOA recommends that jurisdictions establish policies and processes for capital project monitoring and reporting.
- Long-Term Financial Planning - GFOA recommends that all governments regularly engage in long-term financial planning.

The charm of winning a National Film Award lies in being conferred upon by the President himself. So, it comes as no surprise that the most prestigious and awaited award ceremony faced boycott, for the first time since its inception. The 65th National Filmfare Awards, found itself in the midst of a firing controversy, when over 60 awardees were informed at the 11th hour about the President, Shree Ramnath Kovind's inability to present trophies to all the awardees, and that he would present trophies to only 11 category winners.Taken place yesterday at New Delhi's Vigyan Bhawan, out of 137 awardees, about 68 National Film Award winners boycotted the ceremony.
Terming this diversion as "breaking the tradition", All these artistes from across the country have written a letter addressed to the Directorate of Film Festival, Office of the President of India and the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to express their disappointment. According to the tradition, the president honours the recipients of the award by handing over the trophy every year, but since President Kovind had a tight schedule, it has said that he has a tight schedule, and so, the rest of the awards will be presented by Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani.
Reacting to the "disrespect", The letter emoted as "It feels like a breach of trust when an institution/ceremony that abides by extreme protocol fails to inform us of such a vital aspect of the ceremony with a prior notice. It seems unfortunate that 65 years of tradition are being overturned in a jiffy. "In the circumstances of not receiving a response for our grievance we are left with no option but to be absent for the ceremony. We do not intend to boycott the award but are not attending the ceremony to convey our discontent and are awaiting a more just solution," the letter read.
Oscar-winning sound artiste Resul Pookutty also expressed his disappointment. " If the Govt.Of India cannot earmark three houres if it's time, they should not bother us giving us #NationalAward. More than 50%of our sweat you take it as entertainment tax,the least you could do is respect the values we hold dear!"
Defending the flak, Ashok Malik, press secretary to the president, said, "President attends all award functions and convocations for a maximum of one hour. This has been the protocol since he took office. It was conveyed to Information and Broadcasting Ministry several weeks ago and the ministry knew this all along. Rashtrapati Bhavan is surprised by the 11th hour questions that have been raised,"
Here is the list of the lucky 11 people are were honoured by the president :
- Best Actress: Sridevi, Mom
- Dadasaheb Phalke Award: Vinod Khanna
- Best Direction: Jayaraj, Bhayanakam (Malayalam)
- Best Feature Film: Village Rockstars (Assamese) + Best Editing: Village Rockstars
- Best Jasari film: Sinjar
- Best Male Playback Singer: KJ Yesudas, "Poy Maranja Kalam" Viswasapoorvam Mansoor (Malayalam)
- Best Music Direction (Songs): AR Rahman, Kaatru Veliyidai (Tamil)
- Best Music Direction (Background score): Mom
- Best Actor: Riddhi Sen, Nagarkirtan (Bengali)
- Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration: Dhappa (Marathi)
- Best Book on Cinema: Matamgi Manipur – The First Manipuri Feature Film (English)
Sir, these artiste have toiled all the year round just to be able to stand facing you and to feel the pride in in recieving the honours from your hands….Was it too much to ask to give them their due?
May the Awards redeem their lost faith and prestige in the eyes of the artistes…It does after all hold its esteem and pride by virtue of the President's presence!

Farmer Mike Geske has a vision for the future in farming. A future that involves the use of drones. After watching a flying demonstration on Maryland's Eastern Shore, he sees the use of unmanned aerial vehicles on his Missouri farm to help him with a number of things. One of these is the monitoring of his irrigation pipes which he is currently paying three men for.
"The savings on labor and fuel would just be phenomenal," Geske says
Chip Bowling, the National Corn Growers Association Presidents is also interested in getting a drone to help him scout out the fields on his Maryland farm to find out which of this would need more spraying.
Bobby Hutchison, yet another farmer, is hoping that the person he hires to observe his crops would buy a drone. He thinks it's more efficient and would yield more accurate results.
"I see it very similar to how I saw the computer when it first started," says Hutchison, 64. "It was a no-brainer."
Basically, famers are hungry for drones.
In theory, drones could replace many of the jobs currently being performed on farms. One of these is the transmission of information regarding crops, machines and the various farming implements scattered all over the farms. Drones could even have a more accurate effect on which areas to spray and such.
Supposedly, more than 80% of drone use is projected to be because of agricultural purposes, at least according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. Because of the approval by the FAA for the 50 exemptions in drone use, agricultural drones are expected to explode.
AgEagle is one company that seems to be doing well thanks to the exemptions wherein the orders for their drones have increased to several hundreds, resulting in a backlog. Their first orders actually started the previous year.
"Last year users had to land their aircraft and then take the data to the computer," he says Bret Chilcot of AgEagle about the advancement in technology. "Now the data appears on your iPad or hand-held device a few minutes after flight."
Some of the most useful data that farmers can get include pictures, 3-D images, thermal readings and such from an aerial point of view. This can potentially reduce the time it takes to collect essential information to mere minutes. This is a huge leap compared to traditional methods of gathering information which could take days.

People don't choose to buy from your brand on a whim. There's always a reason behind their decisions, and uncovering that reason is key to gaining a brand following and growing your business.
According to the American Marketing Association, the average consumer sees up to 10,000 brand messages a day. But out of those 10,000 opportunities, the consumer will only buy from a select few brands. So how do you ensure yours stands out in the sea of brand messages? In his book "Youtility," marketing consultant Jay Baer says, "You can't survive by shouting the loudest and relying solely on anachronistic interruption marketing. You can't proclaim you're featuring the 'biggest sale ever!' every day."
Promoting your brand anywhere and everywhere just doesn't work. You need to focus on building relationships with key consumers who will be interested in what your brand has to offer. Here are three ways to make your target consumers care about your brand.
1. Focus on your audience
You could have the greatest product in the world, but if no one cares about it, you won't sell anything. Before you even thinking of marketing or selling, you need to first think of your customers. Who is it that you're trying to reach and what do they want?
Do some research and delve into demographics like age, sex and occupation. Then, go deeper. Uncover your audience's pain points and their needs. Paint a picture of what your target consumer is like. Instead of thinking about marketing to a mass of people, think about how you can market to that one person.
Once you have an idea of what your target consumer is like, figure out where your product or service fits in. What problems can you solve for the consumer? When you can find the crossover between what your customers want and what your brand provides, you've struck gold.
In a speech at Content Marketing World 2013, Jonathan Lister, VP of sales solutions at LinkedIn, said, "As marketers, we should be changing the mantra from always be closing to always be helping."
Consumers today are savvier than ever, and they're skeptical of brands that are overly promotional. Instead, they favor brands that focus on being helpful and offering value. When marketing your brand, try not to oversell or use too much promotional language. Instead, frame your marketing in a way that shows how your product or service helps the consumer and how it will improve their lives for the better.
2. Don't be afraid to be controversial
When you're trying to get people to like and care about your brand, saying something controversial is probably the last thing you think you should do. And while it's true that you shouldn't be offensive or stir up trouble, sharing an opinion can actually make more people identify with your brand and like you.
That's because trying to get everyone to like you doesn't work. But that's okay, because not everyone is the right customer for your brand. And if you never share an opinion or choose a side, you may not make anyone dislike you, but you probably won't get anyone to like you, either.
Sharing your opinion reveals your brand's values and allows your audience either to agree or disagree with you. In this way, you find your true audience, the ones who will advocate for and believe in your brand.
In his book, "Pour Your Heart Into It," former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz writes, "Mass advertising can help build brands, but authenticity is what makes them last. If people believe they share values with a company, they will stay loyal to the brand."
Don't hold back on sharing your opinions and potentially being controversial. You may lose a few people who disagree with you, but the ones who agree with you will end up liking you more.
3. Be human
A brand is impersonal. It's an abstract entity, a logo, a tagline. So how can you expect your audience to care about it?
To get people to like your brand, you need to be more personal – more human. People like people, and they want to know that there is a human person behind the brand they're following, not just a corporation.
In your content and other marketing, be conversational and engaging. Write as though as you are talking to a friend. You also need to engage with your consumers and grow your following. Start conversations online and respond to any comments. If your customers have any questions or problems, be proactive with your customer service. If you want people to care about your brand, you need to care about them back.
In his book, "The Thank You Economy," entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk says, "A strategy of caring usually out-shines tactics, but when they're used with the right intent, tactics can help a brand achieve greatness."
Although it's quickly becoming cliche, authenticity is an important part of gaining a brand following. A study by Bonfire Marketing revealed 91% of consumers want the brands they follow to be authentic in their posts.
To be authentic, you need to first define your brand values. What does your brand stand for and what are those values? Then, in all of your marketing efforts, make sure your brand voice is aligned with those values.
Authenticity will inspire trust, and if your audience trusts your brand, they will buy from your brand.

I photographed this group of young Amish girls and guys at the mud sale last week, and they were quite interested in this cell phone candy holder that was being sold at the sale food stands. It was a plastic case that resembled a cell phone ,but only held candy inside. I saw several groups of Amish kids acting like they were making calls throughout the day, and the item was a big hit with them. These girls wearing their colorful bonnets were immersed in looking at this interesting item. I added the boy using his candy filled cell phone at the last-minute so viewers can see it better.

The Prince and The Pauper
As spring advances and trees and grass begin to green up, I start thinking about shooting infrared images.The green foliage turns white in infrared, creating a very unique look. I have found that some of the Victorian era cemeteries can look quite stunning when shot in infrared, and todays post is one such example. This is Calvary cemetery outside New York City, and features very impressive statuary, monuments and carved stones. I have a black backpack and often set it down while I am shooting, and more than once I have gone into panic mode as I wander a bit and realize I forgot where I set my bag. Try finding a bag amongst thousands of dark stones and you quickly remember to wear your bag when you move around. I always go with a friend, and we usually shoot different subjects, so at least once a trip I wait till he is in deep concentration looking through the camera, and I sneak up and suddenly grab his arm or talk in his ear, and of course he returns the favor. This particular cemetery goes on for acres and includes 3 million burials.The large mausoleum on the left is that of the Johnston family. the following is from the internet about this family and where my title came from.
John Johnston died May 17, 1887, seven years after brother Charles and seventeen years before his other brother Robert A. Johnston.
John Johnston led the J. & C. Johnston company, and the J. & C. Johnston department store at Broadway and Twenty-Second Street was a popular source for dress silks and other fabrics. The store was among the most successful of its time, prospering during an era when similar companies frequently went bankrupt.The fortunes of J. & C. Johnston took a drastic turn for the worse after John Johnston's passing. Responsibility for the company passed to Robert A. Johnston, at whose helm the business failed.
Mr. Johnston possessed millions when the business came to him through the death of his brothers, but he lost all in a few years, and in 1888 the house went out of existence. He retired to his palatial home at Mount St. Vincent, on the Hudson. Later the place was sold at foreclosure and the house burned, the owner having a narrow escape. Since then he had lived alone in a barn on the property, refusing charity. He was found sick with pneumonia and insane ten days ago."
This obituary makes tantalizing reference to the mighty structure that has fascinated folks for years: "[Robert Johnston's] body … will be immured in the magnificent family mausoleum built many years ago at a cost of $300,000 in Calvary Cemetery."The dismal circumstances of Robert Johnston's death did not cost him a space in the family mausoleum. The mausoleum's presence today echoes the success and personal fortunes of the Johnston name while housing the man who wasted it.The story is indeed interesting, as the tomb is occupied by prince and pauper alike.
Spring fishing excursion
I thought I would share this image from the past, which is also included in my gallery section here, because now is the time of year when you see fisherman on the banks of the local streams around our area.These Amish boys heading to their favorite fishing hole is one of those images that I look back at and can recall the entire scene as if it were yesterday, even though it goes back to my black and white film days. I had been driving around looking for images when I passed this crew slowly walking down a back road, and I immediately knew it was something I wanted to record for posterity. I drove a ways up the road to a dirt lane, parked and probably said a small prayer as I waited, to let them come by me. One thing I will say about my experience with the Amish is they are keenly aware of their surroundings and these boys were no different.They were looking at my car the whole time they approached and when I finally brought the camera up for a shot, the oldest boy kicked it into second gear as he made things difficult for me to focus and frame the shot, but thankfully I got this image with him in mid stride as he pulled what I assume are his brothers and their gear. I think I was shooting with a Nikon f3 at the time and maybe got three shots off, and this was the winner. I am sure they forgot me as soon as they got up the road,but I remember them like it was yesterday. Back in those days, I would have to drive home, develop the film, hope I nailed the exposure, make contact prints and check for focus before being able to get excited about a shot. Oh the good old days of photography, which by the way I would never want to return to.
Mechanical marvel
Pardon my brevity with today's post, but I was hammered with two migraines in one day today, which is very rare for me, so as I type this, I pretty much feel like this machine is sitting on my head. Sometimes when the weather changes, These things can hit me for whatever reason. So hopefully I did not post this shot before, and my apologies if I did.
The old homestead
This is another image from my early sunday photo adventure. Winds were a bit more than I was hoping for, so unfortunately I had to up my iso to 800, which I never like to do, but it got me in the thirtieth of a second shutter speed range, which obviously was better than using anything slower. I passed this location and turned around for a better look, and because it was around 7am, I figured it was too early to knock at the door, but luckily the owner came out at that moment as she was headed to a local antique center for the morning, so she kindly allowed me access.
Spring's Glorious Entrance
Weatherman was calling for rain yesterday, but when I woke it was just overcast with a slight breeze, so I headed out to look for photo possibilities. After becoming frustrated with increasing breezes most of the morning, things finally calmed down a bit and just in time for another sighting of a beautiful magnolia at peak or just past peak . The stone home with blue shutters was a perfect complement to the pink hues of the tree, and the carpet of freshly fallen petals made it a must shoot scene.

Red Hat outlines roadmap for RHEL 5.4
Red Hat Vice President Tim Burke says the RHEL roadmap will focus on large-scale virtualization and management features with the release of RHEL 5.4.
CHICAGO -- Red Hat Inc. kicked off its Red Hat Summit by outlining the roadmap for its flagship Linux operating system, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4.
Tim Burke, vice president of Red Hat Enterprise Linux engineering, provided details about RHEL 5.4 during a discussion of Red Hat's roadmap.
"Our recent focus is making system administration more centralized and easier to provision," Burke said. "And our virtualization strategy is the foundation that enables you to have flexibility in data center deployments."
RHEL 5.4 offers users the option of selecting Xen or KVM as a hypervisor as part of the install process, giving users the opportunity to experiment with KVM while continuing to fully support Xen, he said.
Red Hat also added new application programming interfaces (APIs) for advanced virtualization management services, like dynamic provisioning and live migration, that are now in beta and will be released later this year, Burke said. The virtualization management tools are an optional add-on service, but the APIs are included in the operating system; the APIs will work with either Xen or KVM, although they have been more optimized for KVM, he said. The tools also will help users migrate from Xen to KVM, but Red Hat is downplaying that use because the company has committed to continued support of Xen through at least the RHEL 5 lifecycle, until the next full release.
RHEL 5.4 has also been optimized for the latest Intel and AMD chipsets, Burke said. Because the new chipsets can assign device driver resources directly to virtual guest instances, the guest no longer has to route requests through the host, cutting virtualization overhead from as high as 30% to as low as 5%, he said.
"Previously, system administrators often concluded that the overhead was too big a price to pay for virtualization, but now that it's down to 5%, they may be willing to trade off the overhead loss for the gains in flexibility and migration," Burke said.
Red Hat's optional MRG (Messaging, Real Time and Grid) applications also have been upgraded in RHEL 5.4 with grid scheduling tools for assigning workloads to server pools, possibly benefitting cloud computing environments.
Burke said RHEL 5.4 also improves Red Hat performance as guests on VMware, including a system clock timing adjustment to boost accuracy. And Microsoft and Red Hat both are continuing to work on certifications that will enable Red Hat guests to run well on Microsoft Hyper-V and vice versa, he said.
As for KVM, Burke said Red Hat has spent "a huge amount of time" optimizing it for i/o and efficiency and is currently running much of its own internal infrastructure, including mail servers and file servers, on KVM.
"We don't just build it; we run with it," Burke said of KVM. "We wouldn't be shipping it if we didn't think it was ready for prime time."
KVM's vendor ecosystem "can't be as robust as Xen's on day 1," but Red Hat is seeing "a lot of interest" in key OEM partners and large customers, and Red Hat is doing all it can to promote that interest, Burke said. "I think we'll see increasing adoption."
OS improvements are nice, but virtualization hypervisors steal the show
David Pullman, a system administrator with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, said he thinks RHEL 5.4 is an incremental release without any big bells and whistles. NIST is getting ready to get start a virtualization initiative and Pullman came to the Summit to learn more about Red Hat's new plans in general, and KVM and SPICE desktop virtualization in particular, he said.
Michael Cote, an analyst with Seattle, Wash.-based Redmonk, said it's hard for anyone except an OS geek to get excited about new releases, but Red Hat's new tools and user interfaces are "impressive.".
What stands out about RHEL 5.4 is its inclusion of the KVM hypervisor within the operating system, which ultimately this should help Red Hat, Cote said. But Red Hat faces tough competition in the virtualization market and customers aren't going to rush to adopt KVM until Red Hat is forthcoming with the promised virtualization management tools later this year, he said.

This morning it was announced that Martin Luther King's wife, Coretta Scott King, died last night at age 78 at her home in Atlanta. But enough about that...
The nominations are in, folks! Which really is such fantastic news. Blue-state favorite Brokeback Mountain leads with eight nominations! Whoo-whee!
Nominations for best picture are Brokeback Mountain; Good Night, and Good Luck; Crash; Capote; and Munich. Obviously the Academy overlooked favorite Walk the Line for lighter fare this year.
Best director nominations are Ang Lee, George Clooney, Paul Haggis, Bennett Miller and Steven Spielberg (We don't have the exact figure, but if memory serves, this is the first time in a LONG time that all five best picture nominees' directors were nominated.)
Nominations for best actor are Joaquin Phoenix, Heath Ledger, Terrence Howard, Philip Seymour Hoffman and David Strathairn (We must admit that we were five for five in our predictions for this category, so good for us.)
Best actress nominations are Reese Witherspoon, Felicity Huffman, Judi Dench, Charlize Theron and Keira Knightley
Best supporting actor nominations are George Clooney (again!), Jake Gyllenhaal, Matt Dillon, Paul Giamatti and William Hurt
Nominations for best supporting actress are Michelle Williams, Amy Adams, Rachel Weisz, Catherine Keener and Frances McDormand
For screenplay nominations, visit the above link. Woody Allen did score one for Match Point. And Clooney did, too, because apparently there was a rule that he had to be nominated for everything this year.
Other fun bits:
•Best song nomination "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from Hustle & Flow, meaning lots of pimp references during the telecast
•Best song nomination "Travelin' Thru" from Transamerica, suggesting a Dolly Parton performance at the ceremony, unless Beyonce has signed up to sing all the songs again.
•No best song nomination for the new song from The Producers. Ouch.
•Um, that's it.
So, there you go. All in all, three words: Clooney...
And one more: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Coretta, you had the right idea, babe. R.I.P.

Be sure mailboxes are intact for winter
The Highway Department will only be responsible for damage done physically from the snowplow, not from snow that came off the plow.
Federal requirements and instructions on where and how to place a mailbox is available at the post office on Main Street and at the Public Works Department on Young's Field Road.
Mailboxes will be evaluated before the season starts to note mailboxes that might become a potential hazard for the route driver.
However, residents are encouraged to inspect their mailboxes before the snow falls.

Your boyfriend, Benedict Cumberbatch, had a pretty good week. He won the National Television Award for Best Detective and he did a thing just for you.
In the middle of accepting his award, presented to him by your ex-boyfriend Kiefer Sutherland who you had to break up with because you grew apart, Cumberbatch has a little fun with the audience:
'As you can see I'm here in LA, I've been working and I'm in front of Hollywood here and…' Benedict trailed off mid-sentence. Cue a random swimming trunks shot.
Audiences suddenly saw the camera pan down to reveal a pair of red swimming trunks underneath his suit jacket.
'…What? No, no, no way, go up! Don't show them my shorts. Christ! Sorry,' Benedict spluttered as he re-arranged his tie
Here, I got you your birthday present early this year:
NEEDS MOAR THIGH AND SHIRTLESSNESS. But OK. It'll do for now.

This latest infographic from go-gulf.com shows some interesting new and updated statistics on how we spend our time online.
Dissecting through some of the information, it appears that 30% of the worlds online population are now online, representing over 2 billion users – a truly staggering statistic. The United Kingdom leads the way with what is believed to be an unbelievable 85% of people now online. Now, I appreciate that there are lots of developing countries that average this out (for example, India with only 7.5%) but these numbers really are remarkable. Just think where we were 15 years ago.
The Top Ten in 2012
92% of us regularly use search engines and check our email, and unsurprisingly (well, for most of us), Google is the King of websites with over 150 million unique visitors per month. Other household brands that also come into the top ten include Yahoo (3rd), Bing (4th), Microsoft (6th) and Apple (9th).
Social media plays a significant part in this list with YouTube coming in at 5th but much more importantly, our trusty friends at Facebook (get it, trusty "friends"), come in at number 2, with over 137 million unique visitors per month.
For me, the killer number here is a mouth watering average of 7 hours and 45 minutes per person – yes, nearly 8 hours – is spent on the No 1 social networking site (compared with a tiny 1.47hrs for Google)
Social Media Numbers To Blow Your Socks Off
There is so much interesting information in this infographic that it's unreal. Here's a few highlights that I saw which I really think will blow your socks off.
- 22% of our time is spent on Social Networking activities
- There are more than 250 million tweets per day and 800 million updates on Facebook
- 56% of social networking users have used the platform to spy on their partners
- 60 hours of video gets uploaded to YouTube every hour
and lastly, it appears that the Brazilians have the most social of networks where users have an average 481 friends. The most unsocial of us, and I am sure that there are a few funny jokes here, are the Japanese, where people have an average of 29 friends!!
The Future Of Online?
It appears that the influence of mobile technology is having a large say in what will be happening in the future. The survey suggests that the highest growing trend online is the use of location based services, where currently there is currently 27% use. I would think that once businesses (and technology) have found a way to tap into this lucrative market, Billions of dollars will be made from location based marketing. Perhaps we should all rush out and invest in Foursquare when we can!!
About Adrian Britton
Sometimes I will talk about things that are interesting, and sometimes I won't. Sometimes it will be a bit of a laugh, and sometimes it will just be a downright rant about something going on in the world – I'm often accused at moaning a lot, and I consider myself quite good at it !!

Do you hate going to the dentist? Is it because you're scared? Don't worry – we aren't here to judge. There are plenty of people that suffer from the same fears as you; you may not even be the worst case. But if you're one of those who'd prefer to suffer than visit the dentist, let's fill you in about dental sedation.
Sedation is a medical term in which a sedative drug is
administered to calm a patient down, or even put him or her to sleep and there
are different levels of sedation used in dentistry, depending on the severity
of the patient's fear.
Sedation is generally safe, for kids, adults and the elderly. However, with anesthesia, there are always some risks. For example, those with obstructive sleep apnea and those with weight issues may want to talk to their doctors first to discuss if sedation is safe for them. Also, to minimize the risk of complication, it's important for patients to only go to an experienced and well-trained dentist. To be safe, make sure you that you do the following:
- Ask your dentist if you're a good candidate for oral sedation. Regardless of the answer, ask your dentist to explain.
- Research about the dentist's qualifications. Find out if the dentist has had ample training and experience using sedation.
- Ask your dentist to go over the risks of the procedure. Aside from this, ask to receive a form that fully details all of the possible risks and complications of the procedure.
If you have questions or concerns regarding dental sedation, contact Dr. Anthony Yamada, DDS at 310-546-2595 to schedule a consultation today, or visit www.anthonyyamadadds.com for additional information.

Title: In the Soup
Also known as:
Year: 1992
Genre: Comedy / Crime / Drama
Language: English
Runtime: 93 min
Director: Alexandre Rockwell
Writer: Alexandre Rockwell & Sollace Mitchell
IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104503/
Aldolpho Rollo wants to be a filmmaker, but he has no idea where to start with his 500 pages script. When he is in need of money he decides to put out an ad to sell the script, and a strange man, Joe, calls him. He goes there to sell him the script, and leaves with a partner - Joe wants him to make the film, and he knows how to help him get the money. Through crime.
Our thoughts:
Steve Buscemi has always been part of a very select group of actors for me. He's an actor I really like, but I don't always care for the films he's been in. Most of them I don't even bother to watch because it's simply not my taste. But Steve, yeah, I like him. He's just a good actor and he seems to be a very nice guy. Above all, I get the feeling that he has integrity and that he's doing this because he wants to - even now after all of these years the roles seem to be carefully picked (but I suppose someone like Edward Norton seems even more careful with what he picks). Even though there was a lot of crap in there as well. Naturally I was excited when I found out about "In the Soup" - an early 90's crime/comedy with Steve Buscemi as a want-to-be filmmaker (very different from a wannabe filmmaker!).
Steve Buscemi plays the role of Aldolpho Rollo, a lonely guy who does whatever he can for a living. His days consist of working on his epic screenplay and hoping to get it made into a film - with his object of desire/neighbor Angelica in the lead role. One month he can't pay the rent so his mafia-like landlords tell him he has till the end of the week or he's out. In desperation he decides that the only thing he owns that is of value is his script, so he puts out an ad for it. That's when he meets Joe (with an unknown surname - just Joe). Joe answers the ad, and when Aldolpho goes to give him the script he ends up in the apartment of a strange older man who has a topless girl walking around, and he offers to help get the film made. Aldolpho can't really believe what he's hearing but who is he to say no? Together they start a partnership, but Joe's means of getting the budget together consists of committing crimes - everything from stealing a police man's Porsche, to drug-dealing. Aldolpho questions his means, but he also wants to get his epic film made.
What caught my attention early on was that even though the film is a rather typical crime/comedy, it carries itself with artistic merit. It's all over the film - the stylistic black and white photography, the smooth cinematography, some set designs. It's also within the film itself, too. Aldolpho's script is a symbolic art film with angels and all that stuff, and his influences go from Godard to Tarkovsky (I got a boner upon seeing a poster of "Stalker" in his apartment through-out). What I'm trying to say is that the film is about a filmmaker wanting to make an art film, so it was really nice to see that the film itself ("In the Soup") focused on having characteristics of an art film as well. The film is rather a mix of 90's indie comedies, crime/Mafia flicks, and artful dramas.
I'm quite often against films about filmmakers where they don't focus enough on the filmmaking aspect, but I didn't think about that at all with this one. I suppose it might be because you think of Aldolpho as a writer more than anything, and the dream of producing/directing might just be that - a dream. Instead the film is about Aldolpho growing as a person because of Joe. He stops being an isolated, lonely man, and eventually also gets to know his neighbor, a woman he wants to play the lead in his film. It's not at all about filmmaking and that's fine with me. In this case.
I can't possibly review this film without saying what a great cast it has. Not only because of Steve Buscemi, who just has to be the best possible actor for this role, but Seymour Cassel is excellent as Joe. Jennifer Beals couldn't have pulled off the role as Angelica, the neighbor, any better - she's likable but hard to reach. Even smaller roles are wonderful, like Stanley Tucci as the weird French man who is married to Angelica (for a green card - yeah, she married a French man for a green card). It's impossible not to enjoy this film for this alone.
The comedy is here and there - I don't think I ever laughed out loud, but the oddball, quirky comedy does work. As I wasn't expecting a full-blown comedy, I didn't care if it was all that funny. It stays light-hearted, though. Even when there's crime involved, it's still just a fun movie. You're not going on a thrill-ride, you're not gonna cry, you won't even have the feeling in your gut of hoping that things won't go wrong. You're just having fun - when things go wrong they don't come off as challenges, but tiny obstacles. There are emotional scenes, sure, but in the end there's just one focus, and that is for Aldolpho to make his film (and get laid).
I really loved "In the Soup". I didn't know what to expect from it and it just caught me by surprise. I love the quirkiness of it, but it's far from just being a weird comedy. It's so well-crafted, from the casting to the cinemtography. It was a pleasure to see a film like this that was handled delicately and didn't mind being creative and stylistic. You'll barely notice when the film is being unoriginal, as you're busy having fun. A much recommended film that I imagine people have missed out on!

CHARLOTTETOWN - The Royal Canadian Mint has unveiled a gold coin to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences, events that helped lay the foundation for Confederation.
The coin features the fleur-de-lis, the English rose, the Irish shamrock and the Scottish thistle — the four major European settler groups represented in the provinces at the time.
It was designed by mint engraver Matthew Bowen, has a face value of 50 cents and will have a mintage of 7,500.
It sells for $129.95.
Held in 1864, the conferences in Charlottetown and Quebec City were attended by the political leaders of British North America who agreed to form Canada on July 1, 1867.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version gave incorrect information on the new coin.
