Drink & Buddy: Two beverages. One bottle! For best friends.

Brian Sanderson:
I never imagined the bond that can develop between a person and their dog; not before Hank came into my life. Truly, it is a special relationship like no other. It is two-way unconditional love in its purest form. Henry 'Hank' Newton Brown is my sidekick, my homeslice, and my right-hand man. We both love the outdoors, even just taking a walk around town, but especially road-tripping, hiking, and mountain biking.
We all know that some of the best things in...

Monthly Water and Sewer Billing Information
July 30, 2015—Olean--The City of Olean recently mailed the August water and sewer bills. Please take note that all bills are now on a monthly cycle and are to be paid on August 17, 2015. Late fees will be added if the bill is not paid by August 20, 2015.
"The Common Council voted to change our water billing procedures. After a two year study, the City has moved to a monthly billing system," William J. Aiello, Mayor of the City of Olean, said. "Our quarterly billing cycle was a burden to many of our residents and this will help them budget appropriately."
Mayor Aiello added, "The City is also pleased to offer electronic billing and payments with the Go Green Initiative. Details are on-line at the City's website--www.cityofolean.org. Paperless billing is a nice alternative for many of our residents and it saves both time and money."
"It is important for all residents to remember,
payment is due on the seventeenth of the month. A late fee of ten
percent will be added at the close of business on the twentieth of the
month," Mayor Aiello said. "I am optimistic that this new system will be
advantageous to both our residents and the City."

TS-E 17mm f/4L – the widest tilt-shift lens in the world
The TS-E17mm f/4L lens is the widest tilt and shift lens in the world for 35mm cameras and is ideal for landscape and architectural photographers who are looking to get more into their images.
As the megapixel counts in cameras rise more photographers who would traditionally use medium and large format cameras with lens or camera movements are switching to shooting with digital 35mm SLR cameras with their increased portability and wider lens range. This TS-E17mm f/4L lens provides a 104° diagonal field-of-view for capturing true wideangle scenes.
Who is it for?
Although architectural photographers are the traditional market for this type of lens, it will also be of great interest to landscape photographers who want to be able to shoot their landscapes with wider apertures while still retaining depth-of-field throughout the image.
Key features
- Ultra wide 17mm tilt and shift lens
- Low distortion and high resolution
- +/-6.5° tilt and +/-12mm shift
- Independent tilt or shift rotation of +/-90°
- Aspherical and UD lens elements minimise chromatic aberration
- SubWavelength structure and Super Spectra Coatings
- Circular aperture
With a 104° diagonal field of view combined with +/-6.5° of tilt, +/-12mm shift and +/-90° of rotation on both the tilt and the shift mechanisms, the TS-E17mm f/4L is one of the most flexible lenses on the market. The TS-E17mm f/4L also features locks on the tilt and shift mechanisms to ensure that unwanted movements are avoided.
To achieve outstanding edge-to-edge resolution and low distortion, a high-precision, large diameter moulded glass aspherical lens is used. Chromatic aberration - common in wideangle shooting – is combatted by four UD elements. These features make the lens especially suited to architectural photography.
Canon L series lenses are built to withstand regular use in the most testing environments. Weather and dust seals provide added protection, and a lens hood and pouch are also included in the package. Environmentally friendly lead-free glass is used throughout the construction of the TS-E17mm f/4L.
The new ability to rotate the tilt and shift mechanisms relative to each other adds another layer of versatility to the lens. With previous tilt and shift lenses, the factory default was to have the tilt aligned at 90° to the shift. While it is possible to align them so they are in the same plane, it required a trip to the service centre to have this done by one of the technicians. Now you can choose on a shot-by-shot basis how you want either the tilt or shift aligned relative to the subject, and the other lens movement, for the most creative control.
All TS-E lenses have a larger than standard image circle, but the TS-E17mm f/4L lens and the TS-E24mm f/3.5L II USM lens (both lenses have the same size of image circle) have the largest image circles amongst the Canon tilt and shift lens range. This enables an even greater degree of tilt or shift ability.
- Unique rotation system
The TS-E17mm F/4L is an ultra wideangle tilt and shift lens, providing wideangle views for both APS-C and full frame sensors. Thanks to Canon's unique rotation system, tilt and shift direction can be rotated independently of each other up to +/-90°. This allows perspective and depth-of-field to be controlled separately - enhancing the flexibility of the lens.
- SubWavelength structure Coating
Designed for use in digital photography, Canon's patented lens element coating helps minimise the ghosting and flare caused by internal reflection - helping to deliver crisp, clear images. The SubWavelength structure Coating was first seen on the EF24mm f/1.4L II USM lens. This acts like the surface of a moth's eye to reduce reflection from the surface of the lens. This has the advantage of reducing both flare and ghosting to improve image quality.

The Los Angeles Chargers posted a three-minute video taken in secret by running back Melvin Gordon during an Uber ride, presumably in Baltimore where the Chargers are scheduled to meet the Ravens on Sunday at 12:05 p.m. CT.
Gordon, a former star at the University of Wisconsin, ribbed the driver for believing so staunchly that the Ravens would win the upcoming playoff battle. It was clear the driver had no idea a member of the Chargers was in his backseat.
"What about that running back?" Gordon asks at one point. "That Melvin Gordon kid?"
"Oh yeah, he's something," the driver responded. "He's something."
The driver, who said he was from Texas, believed quarterback Lamar Jackson would out-duel Chargers QB Philip Rivers, even though -- as Gordon pointed out -- Rivers was a Hall of Fame candidate.
Eventually, Gordon identified himself and signed an autograph for the driver.

. Em D6/9
On the first part of the journey
I was lookin at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
and the sky with no clouds
the heat was hot and the ground was dry
but the air was full of sound
. Em9 Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
it felt good to be out of the rain
in the desert you can remember your name
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
la la la la lalala la la la la la
After two days in the desert sun
my skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
made me sad to think it was dead
After nine days I let the horse run free
'cause the desert had turned to sea
there were plants and birds and rocks and things
there were sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
and the perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
but the humans will give no love

The only thing that really saddens me is that I don't have the energy to be an active granny to my adored grandchildren, as I used to be. Otherwise, we get out and about, travel; we're planning a short trip to Germany. This summer we had our 50th wedding anniversary and had a lovely celebration with the family. I've also written and published a set of books during this time – I like to think of myself as primarily a writer rather than a cancer victim. The cancer does keep trying to get in the way, but I keep him down. On my website francesthomas.org I have a link to an occasional blog – Life, Writing and the Unwelcome Guest. Mostly I blog about writing, but sometimes I talk about the cancer too – if you don't talk about it at all, it becomes the elephant in the room, and I think people need to hear something about it, if you're to be honest with them.
My husband has been hugely supportive – not always in the best of health himself, he's ferried me uncomplainingly to the seemingly endless appointments that cancer seems to generate. Family and friends have been warm and supportive too. We have good neighbours who will rally round in case of emergency, though we don't like to call on them unless we have to. But it's very good to know you have friends. Sometimes, I think, they feel that they don't know if they're saying or doing the right thing – but they don't really have to. Just being there and friendly is enough
You ask about good and bad days. Unless I've gone down with a bug most days are pretty good. My diet is pretty much as it always was – though I've lost a bit of weight, which I'm pleased about. I don't really exercise as much as I should – but that's because I'm lazy, not because of the illness. I think the main thing with cancer is not to let it take over any more than you have to. You're still the person you always were, in spite of this intruder. Don't let it get the better of you.

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot with Moe Sasan, from ShotSpot Mobile Photo Studio. This would have been my first professional photoshoot during my blogging career, and it was a lot of fun! We got some amazing shots so I thought I'd do up a little post including my favourites.
Shot Spot is a mobile photo studio, plain and simple. Rather than your typical one location studio, Moe's studio is on wheels and travels to YOU. How convenient is that?!
The studio fits 4-5 people and is located in the Shot Spot van. It sounds silly at first, but once you step inside it really feels like a professional headshot studio! I was amazed at the photos he took just sitting in the van. There's lighting, props and backdrops making it easy to get the perfect shot.
The great thing about Moe's company is that he shoots both indoor (inside the studio) and outdoor. So depending on the type of photos you want taken, it's easy to drive to a shoot location and snap a couple pics. For our photoshoot we agreed that Fort Langley, BC fit my aesthetic perfectly.
Moe was great at directing poses, getting the best lighting and photographing the perfect moments. He shared with me that he prefers to photograph street style and "blogger style" images, which obviously was a huge plus for me! So if you're a blogger or a creator in the Lower Mainland, this is a great option for you. Here are a few of my favourite photos from the shoot. I've edited the right side images with my regular filtering so you can compare the original to the edited.
If you have any questions about ShotSpot feel free to comment below or DM me on Instagram!

There is a great variety of full-fledged guides on email template design on the internet. They contain both the general information and useful tips, hints, pieces of advice.
- Use your company name as an email sender
- Draw attention with a subject line
- Inform with a preheader
- Make your email easy to read
- Do not use background images
- Host images on your web server
- Make the images clickable
- Provide images with an Alt text
- Create a tempting call to action button
- Include a link to a web version
- Check out the links
- Make use of an email footer
- Formatting
In this article, we are going to dwell on the most important and useful issues from the point of view of the users.
Creating an email template usually takes much time, efforts and imagination. That's why, you'd better create your own brand template with special design, and follow it while creating the further email campaigns. This way, you will not only automate your work but promote brand awareness.
Despite the fact, that an email template is a place where you should be creative and original, it has own structure to be preserved. We will take into consideration structural and non-structural email elements and formatting.
Let's start!
Email includes both structural and non-structural elements.
Non-structural elements
Non-structural elements include email sender, subject line and preheader. These elements are vital for you. Why? They are the first to be seen by the subscribers when checking their inbox. Have you ever been about to give a chance to an email the sender of which was unknown, the subject line — boring and the preheader — non-informative? Highly unlikely!
Use your company name as an email sender
You've certainly received an email from an unknown person and asked yourself a question "Who on earth are you?" and this is great if you just asked but not marked as spam. So, for your clients not to be confused, use your company name with the department you are sending from in the "From" field.
Draw attention with a subject line
If you want a subscriber to open your email, your subject line is to stand out from the rest. Make it short but informative, personalize, use rhetorical questions to intrigue, emoji, and test!
Inform with a preheader
Preheader is the text right to your subject line. Use it effectively to convey the main aim of your email. Use a powerful call to action. But mind the size of the preheader. Try to use no more than 35 characters — available size on IPhone.
An informative preheader allows marketers to increase email open rates. Services like SendPulse provide this functionality as a built-in feature.
Blow up your email open rate!
With SendPulse, you can customize an email preheader while creating a campaign. It may support a subject line to provide subscribers with more information.
To create a custom email preheader, follow this step-by-step guide.
Structural elements
Before considering structural elements of an email in details, several important issues should be concerned:
- email template width
- email template height
- image size and format
- mobile-friendly email
- responsive email
We have already dwelt on all these questions. Discover the answers to them in the article "Email template size".
Make your email easy to read
Why is this email easy to read?
There are several possible answers:
Inverted pyramid design. You have probably heard of inverted pyramid design. It is stated that the average time people pay attention to reading an email is 8 seconds. Pyramid model allows to make the most important elements like the header, image, paragraph and call to action button prominent. It perfectly fits the email with a single call to action.
Email from a Remembear has a structure of inverted pyramid model: the header grabs our attention, the email body builds anticipation — we discover more about the Remembear, and a button encourages to try their services. Despite the fact that a call to action button in a classic model is at the bottom of the email while in this one there are buttons in the middle and at the bottom — it does not prevent us from easy reading. Visually, the email consists of 2 parts: introducing the service and specifying its benefits. Each part ends with a call to action button. That's why it looks quite logical.
White space. White space placed around your call to action button makes it more visible and eye-grabbing. Use it not only to drive attention to a call to action but place between the paragraphs and round the header. This way, your email will look minimalistic and the message will be highlighted without exaggeration.
Contrast. Black text on white background is the best choice. An abundance of colours makes the eyes tire quickly, while black and white colours do not. Besides, they are not distractive. If you choose bright colours, stick to no more than 3 of them.
Let's take a closer look at each of the structural elements of an email.
Do not use background images
The trouble with the background images lies in the fact that most email clients do not support them, they simply block background pictures. This blocking is a default setting of an email client. If you still do want to use them, you should know all the ESPs and make sure they support background images. Is the game worth the candles?
Host images on your web server
You have a choice: attach images to an email or host them on your web server. If you host an image on your web server, the size of your email won't be large and all the email clients "understand" this method of loading the pictures. If you attach images to an email, your email size will be larger, thus it will take much time to load the picture.
Make the images clickable
It is important because recipients tend to click the images. They click small ones to examine them better and big ones, especially, logos to be redirected to your homepage. Take care to avoid poor user experience.
Provide images with an Alt text
Alt text stands for alternative text. If your image does not load or breaks, the alt text will be displayed. It explains what is in the picture. Using an Alt text, make sure that you specified the width and the height of your image, this is the area for the alt text to be displayed.
Create a tempting call to action button
Call to action button is the last argument why a recipient should take an action. Keep away from designing a button like a text link.
Call to action button should:
- Be large. The larger your call to action button is — there are more chances for it to be hit. The size should be convenient for the recipient to tap on a button reading an email on the phone.
- Match your brand colour. It's an advice rather than a must. Make the contrast between the button colour and the background. A red colour is considered to be the most actionable.
- Be the only one. Surely, if you are in ecommerce and you send TOP-rated goods, you will have several call to action buttons. Still, it's better to have one button not to distract the reader's attention. Create an A/B test to find out the most profitable variant for your business.
Include a link to a web version
A web version is needed in case your email is displayed incorrectly. It is important because the recipients can block graphics displaying, or they may be blocked by an email provider. Web version allows to see HTML email as a web page. The users will see the images, links, unsubscribe link, etc.
Check out the links
Make sure that every link in your email works on all the devices, that it has UTM tracking and is coloured properly. Apple and Gmail tend to turn them into a blue colour, you can use CSS to avoid this.
Make use of an email footer
Do not neglect an email footer. It is necessary for the users since it provides the great user experience. Email footer should contain contact information, company address, link to your website, links to social networks, unsubscribe link, copyright.
How to create a helpful footer
- Place a visible unsubscribe link. We won't be too wordy regarding this issue. If you are interested in mailing list quality and your good sender's reputation — visible unsubscribe link will be to your advantage. In case it is hidden somewhere in the text and the font size is small, it will be harder for the unengaged users to unsubscribe. So, they will mark your email as spam. Besides, it should be easy for a user to unsubscribe — in one click.
- Give a chance to manage email preferences. Users may unsubscribe due to different reasons: they receive emails from you too often, they don't want to get a specific type of newsletters, their interests have changed since the last time they set them. Give them a link to the preference centre where they can update them.
1. Design your emails so that their style corresponds to your brand — colours, fonts, buttons should always be the same to create brand awareness.
2. Use the most readable fonts.
Choose the font size 12-14, for headers — bigger. There are fonts that render properly anywhere, they are Times New Roman, Verdana, Courier, Ariel, Georgia, Helvetica.
3. Use full justification or left-margin justification for the paragraphs.
4. Use centre justifications for headers.
5. Use left-margin justification and semi-bold for subheaders.
6. Place empty string between the paragraphs.
This is not the full guide on how to design an email template, but the most important issues to be considered. If you put them into practice, you will be able to create the great user experience.
The last advice — always test!

Dames, Booze, Chains and Boots
Bend Over, I'll Drive
I Wanna Get in Your Pants
Two-Headed Sex Change
… and that's just the song titles! I came late to The Cramps, but oh Lord, did I fall hard. What's not to love here? unhinged psychobilly played by a flame-haired scantily clad guitar-slinging vixen and the degenerate love-child of Frankenstein, Elvis and silver pants Iggy Pop* from the cover of Raw Power. It's a total no-brainer. I love rock and roll and I don't mean that in the same way as metal bands occasionally shout, 'Whoo! Rock and Roll!' when they finish songs. I love the old-style genuinely unhinged, dangerously unrestrained, possibly communist, potentially alien, almost certainly morally corrupt sense of the word. Now you take all that gyrating, thrusting and fumbling, fuse it with some Nuggets-style garage rock, drain the resulting goo through the absolute dregs of 1960's low-budget drive-in horror movies and run it through a silver Lurex punk filter, drip a little humour into the mix and SHERRRR-DINGGGHHH-GAAAAA! You get The Cramps and I'm just a sure-thing for their lovin'.
Look Mom No Head! from 1991 was the first Cramps LP I bought, in 2006, on a rather spiffing picture disc as it happens. It is, not to put too fine a point on it, a custom chrome, leopard print, sleaze-fest of the highest order known to man.
It's opening gambit, 'Dames, Booze, Chains and Boots' is near enough a manifesto for the LP as a whole, blurring the lines between autos, sex, auto-sex and sexy autos; who knows what the line 'Surfin' bird 'n' fur pie' could possibly refer to? not me. A similar theme of moral upstanding sustains the next track, the eminently tasteful 'Two Headed Sex Change',
Two heads headed two ways at once
Let's face it baby, I'm much too much
If your clams in a jam Baby, I know what to do
Two headed sex change – Two headed sex change
I'll be there when ya need some strange
This isn't a pose ladies and gentlemen, it's a way of life. Lux Interior and Poison Ivy aren't faking this, you genuinely get the impression that they lived in a fabulous world full of people having sex in the back of cars with impossibly sharp tail fins, before returning to their UFO for breakfast. You want a little sonic experimentation? check out 'Blow Up Your Mind' and it's feedback solos; You want one of the world's most blatant rewrites of 'Louie Louie'? go for 'I Wanna Get in Your Pants' instead. Everyone's a winner.
Real standouts for me are 'Hardworkin' Man', a cover of the Captain Beefheart sang, Ry Cooder penned, track from the film Blue Collar, from which the Cramps have removed all the swearing, it's not as good as the original – but then not much is. That jack hammer beat does it for me time and time again. The other real highlight and the reason I bought this is the Iggy Pop collaboration 'Miniskirt Blues', where Lux and Mr Osterberg get to hang out on the corner, tongues firmly in cheek and check out the passing scenery,
Well she walked up to me and said daddy what's doing
I can tell by her smile that evil was a'brewin'
She said the name was Jezebel, Miss Jezebel Hurt
That foxy little momma in the miniskirt
Never mind hearing how lecherous this track is you can virtually see it, it's that strong**, hell listen to it twice and you'll be able to smell it about your person for a week. It's also catchy as hell and very funny indeed. As is the pretty rudimentary 'I Wanna Get in Your Pants' (from where this post's title has been filched), where I'm pretty sure Lux has more interest in wearing his paramour's under garments than he ever will have in her. Sleaze doesn't cover it.
Listening to this over and over again today has really rammed home the fact that Poison Ivy is a damn good guitarist too, which I've never really heard her get the credit for, she bangs out the licks and riffs with just the right amount of studied sloppiness and 'tude. I hadn't realized that Jim Sclavunos, ace producer and Bad Seed, was the drummer on Look Mom No Head! The bassist being a somewhat whacked-out looking gentleman by the name of Slim Chance. King of the castle though is Lux Interior himself, a man who could have sung 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' and make it sound like a filth-drenched come on.
If you're happy to buy into their world The Cramps are offering you a lust-powered cruise straight to Hades, if not then you're just one big S-Q-U-A-R-E, daddio. Me? shift along, bend over, I'll drive!
308 Down.
*don't ask about the act of conception, it was unlikely to have made for wholesome family friendly viewing and would have involved apparatus from the darkest depths of Hell. Groovy.

Waterproofing new built projects below ground requires skill.
From design through to application and guarantee, we can help you achieve a dry structure.
We not only apply waterproofing products with care, we assist with waterproofing design issues, helping engineers and architects choose proven materials for the site and ensure these are applied by trained staff, in accordance with the materials data sheets.
Assistance with waterproofing design includes reference to BS:8102. All our surveyor hold the CSSW (Certificated Surveyor in Structural waterproofing) qualification and are involved in waterproofing design on a weekly basis.
Good design is essential - however, the best laid plans can sometimes need modification; clients change specifications or unforeseen events take place on site - this is where our on-site experience is vital. Dealing with contractors and sub-contractors and making sure that the waterproofing element of the contract is not compromised, means our clients can relax, knowing we're on site (the image above shows one of our technicians applying Vandex flextape, as part of a combined type A & C system designed by us)
Type A and Type C methods are used including Vandex's superb range of cementitious materials, which we've successfully applied, on sites in the North of England for years. Fosroc is also a key supplier.
Our twenty year plus relationship with Safeguard Europe helps us stay at the forefront of basement waterproofing technology, particularly the proven Oldroyd range of membranes and Safeguard's remarkable Sentry range of pumping stations.
As members of the Property Care Association Structural waterproofing group, we can offer up to 20 years cover on a range of waterproofing systems, all covered by genuine independent insurance, through the Guarantee Protection Insurance Company, for long term peace of mind.
Take a look through our past contracts and see how project managers, Architects, surveyors and clients praise our capabilities.
Our Basment waterproofing service covers Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate, Skipton, Wakefield, Sheffield, Manchester and York. Call Bryan Hindle CSSW CSRT for further details.

After five minutes of watching the Netflix show Versailles, the eyes adjust to the unusual scene of men wearing heels and rich, velvet, frock like coats. Their shoulder length hair is softly curled and their high collars are embellished with gold lace. The series, about French king Louis XIV's decision to move his court out of Paris, is captivating not just for its potent mix of history and scandal but also for its wildly extravagant costumes, a romantic throwback to a time of unapologetic decadence.
If one attempts to analyse the appeal of period films like Devdas or Baahubali, or shows like The Tudors, it's not the brilliance of the script or the phenomenal acting that stays with the viewer. In fact, you'd be hard put to remember anything about the story in retrospect — other than the magnificence of the costumes, or the styling of the sets. The attraction may also be of a dreamy escapism, of (briefly) inhabiting a world when it was perfectly acceptable to spend two hours dressing for dinner. Those elaborate and very civilised rituals represent a comforting order, something we know too little about in our relentlessly busy and uncertain times. Even if we know, intellectually this highly sanitised version of history glosses over the hardships of millions. On film we are perfectly content to reap the benefits of the royal life, of rustling silks and haughty salutes. The highest rated shows on international TV currently, retrace history, tapping into a universal yearning for the gentler past. So much of the original content of Netflix focusses on court splendour from a different century. Those styles, of lace and ruffles, corsets and cravats are a current fashion inspiration, hugely influencing what we buy.
It's possible that one only notices what one likes but many high fashion brands are showcasing shirts with overtly puffy sleeves and high frilly collars with dramatic trimmings at the wrist. At H&M, the first mannequin at the 20,000 sq ft store in Delhi's Select Citywalk sports a diaphanous white, oversized blouse, reminiscent of the voluminous style in vogue in 17th century France. Pero, the very cool Indian fashion label has delicate roses in clusters of three, sown on in the traditional bullion stitch, on soft malmal. The fastest selling Mac lipstick, Russian Red is reminiscent of a post World War two theatricality. Sabyasachi's Spring-Summer 2018 line shows plenty of flora and fauna, with hunting scenes abstractedly depicted. The couturier's recommendation is to wear the saris with '60s style "centre parted hair and industrial sunnies". Most contemporary fashion is a reinterpretation of old styles and with the quirks and customs of bygone eras being explored so thoroughly in popular culture, vintage garments are back in wardrobes.
The rise of vintage styles in fashion coincides with the rise of subscribers to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in India. It's also a reaction to mass-produced fast fashion, which can never be exclusive. It's convenient alright but anyone striving for a more individual look can't find it in Mango or Zara. If the idea of fashion is wearing whatever it is that expresses a unique spirit, the possibilities (to copy) from TV right now, really are endless. Mixing eras would be the most fun: Lady Mary's (Downton Abbey) tweed coats and flapper silhouettes with perky berets from the downtrodden gang of Peaky Blinders. We can't retreat from the present but we can explore the sartorial richness of the olden times.

Bruce and Denise McGill, of the Catlins, produce 2000 to 3000 lambs to sell each year on their 660ha Te Taunga farm and have exported the fully-certified organic lamb to Europe, Asia and the United States for 12 years.
This time last year their son Ben McGill (managing director) teamed up with business partners Hugh Rouse (director) and Dave Hockly (marketing manager), all of Queenstown, to create Twin Rivers to sell their product to top-line restaurants across New Zealand and judging by their client base, it has been well-received.
In Otago, establishments around Wakatipu and Arrowtown such as Blanket Bay, The Bunker, Millbrook Resort, Matakauri Lodge, St Moritz Hotel and Saffron Restaurant all plate up the lamb to their customers.
Mr Hockly said that one year in to their venture he was pleased with the uptake of their product and the relationships Twin Rivers had developed with "top-line" establishments.
"The lamb continues to get amazing feedback from customers and chefs, such as 'it tastes like the lamb I used to get back on the farm. It reminds me of when I was a child'."
The McGills are one of only a few southern farms to gain (in 2005) the United States Department of Agriculture stamp, and have been AsureQuality-certified since 2000.
This is a result of Bruce McGill's 30 years of working towards sustainable farming and has Twin Rivers boasting a product with great taste and health benefits.
The top lambs of Perendale Texel cross-breed are then "hand-picked" for processing, using locally owned and operated companies.
The trio wanted to sell the product domestically so "every-day Kiwis who value what they eat" had the opportunity to buy and enjoy the lamb, Mr McGill said.
Mr Hockly said the effort had been worthwhile and it had been satisfying making it available in both the North and South Islands.
While the lamb has been successful through export, domestically the business keeps improving.
The three Queenstown men plan to further their customer base.
They also want to see the Twin Rivers brand move towards being a tourist product, sharing the farm's remote location, its produce and vision to others.

Review : The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker
Full-disclosure: I love anything with an apocalyptic slant, so I was predisposed to like this book. I was very intrigued when I read the description of "The Age of Miracles," with its unique premise of an Earth whose rotation is slowing down. The story is narrated by Julia, now a young woman, but ten years old at the time the world first realizes what is happening to Earth. We never learn why the Earth has slowed, but nevertheless, the implications… Read more »

Review: Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Let's get straight to it. This book was WAY TOO LONG. As in 200 pages too long. Maybe 300. I felt the same way while reading this book that I felt when I watched Pearl Harbor at the movie theater. I squirmed in my seat during the three and a half hour run time, and I grew increasingly distraught as calendar pages drifted across the screen. I wanted to scream, "GET TO DECEMBER 7TH ALREADY!!!"

Prince Henrik, the French-born husband to Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, died on Tuesday. The prince was diagnosed with dementia last September and had been hospitalized since January 28 for a lung infection, according to The Guardian. A private funeral will be held next Tuesday, but Danes will be mourning all month, while flags are at half-mast.
Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik were married in 1967 after meeting in London and secretly dating for a year. Henrik will be cremated, per his wishes, and half his ashes will be spread in Danish waters and the other half will be buried at Fredensborg Castle, north of Copenhagen. He famously refused to be buried next to his wife because he was never made a king.
According to The Guardian, he found having to play the supporting role in his marriage difficult. When his wife became queen in 1972, he vocalized to the media that he was angry he wasn't made a king to match her title.
"My wife has decided that she would like to be Queen, and I'm very pleased with that," he said. "But as a person, she must know that if a man and a woman are married, then they are equal. My wife hasn't shown me the respect an ordinary wife should show her spouse." (There is protocol behind Henrik's snug, though: a ruling Queen's husband doesn't necessarily earn a king title just by being married to royalty. For example, Queen Elizabeth's husband Philip was never made a king, even though he also wanted to be one.)
Henrik didn't start performing royal duties on his own until 1997, 25 years after his wife became queen. At one point, he said he thought people assumed he was a loser until he proved them wrong. "People are just used to considering Prince Henrik as … a little dog that follows behind and gets a sugar cube once in a while," he said. In 2002, he fled Denmark for his French chateau because he need to "reflect on life." He stayed there for three weeks, before Margrethe went to visit him to mend fences, and the couple returned to Denmark together.
He retired from public life in 2016, announcing then that he didn't want to be buried next to his wife in Roskilde Cathedral, which is where Danish royal couples are usually buried. "She's the one playing me for a fool," he said. "I didn't marry The Queen to get buried at Roskilde."
Henrik is survived by his wife, Queen Margrethe II, and his two sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim. The palace released a statement that all three family members were by his side when he passed.

In contemporary times, millions of people across the globe are literally addicted to their mobile phone, and many experience feelings of fear or anxiety if deprived of such a device. Although this idea applies to all kinds of mobile devices and not simply market leader 'Apple', an article I read recently entitled 'How Apple Creates Popular Culture', perfectly captures this notion. It details that "Apple embodies popular culture. It generates popular culture… their customers are some of the most loyal and passionate fans around who are willing to camp out for up to five nights in order to get their latest mobile." It can be argued that mobile phones are completely saturating our culture, and this is a topic I am particularly interested in and have explored on a personal level in a recent blog post entitled 'Media Consumption – An Introduction to Mine'. In this post, I explain the moment that I realised the emotional attachment I have with my phone is rather outrageous and unnecessary. Thus, through this study, I hope to reveal if others like me are in similar situations when taking their phones to the beach with them.
I hypothesise that the main reasons for phone usage in an environment such as the beach, will run along the lines of photography/posing for social media posts, genuine fears of being detached from phones, as a means of entertainment whilst sun baking, and perhaps awaiting to receive news or messages from distant parties. I look forward to finding out if such a hypothesis turns out to be true, or if beachgoers will reveal other reasons that have not previously crossed my mind. After some additional research, I managed to find a multitude of websites offering instructions on how to keep phones safe at the beach, indicating to me that there is a prominent concern regarding phone protection in such an environment.
As I move through this observational study, I will continue to utilise my blog as a platform for displaying my ideas and findings, and direct interested parties to this site through social media such as Twitter. I find that Twitter is a very useful platform for attracting readers, as the majority of my followers are communications students and may well have an interest in my work (my Twitter account can be found under @katebailey273). I truly believe that this topic will produce some interesting information, including usage trends amongst different ages, demographics, cultures, subcultures and nationalities. I look forward to sharing my findings!

http://www.kasamba.com/ - this is another option which pleases us, although we prefer different types of new age images, not people.
A sidebar which list the types of advice we give (Astrology, Tarot, Dream Analysis, etc.) is also desirable.
Homepage - overview of the site, display our mission, and invite visitors to take a consultation. Possibly feature experts as well.
Directory listing - list the experts on our site by category. Each listing should have a photo and brief, plus consultation charges.
Expert profile - detailed info about the expert. Several photos, embedded youtube videos, client reviews, social media integration.
We are aiming to create a business similar to the http://www.liveperson.com/experts/s…-religion/ site, but specifically for spirituality experts in the Brazilian market.
We don't want the design looking 'witchy', gothic or gypsy.
The design should bring across a sense of positivity, change, and abundance.
The website should be simple, clean and intuitive with more of a 'new age' or 'new earth' feel.
The website content will be in Brazilian Portugese, but for the purposes of the design English is fine.
Please leave space for ads on the ride side.

If you're new to bongs and water pipes, or if you want an affordable variety we have you covered. Here are all the bongs and water pipes we have to offer for under 100 dollars. Everyone loves a great bargain and an awesome bong! Take your pick from our selection of affordable bongs to cheap bongs. We understand that not everyone is an avid collector and enthusiast of bongs, yet they still do appreciate the better qualities of smoking by using a water pipe. Don't let their low price tags fool you, these are affordable yet durable and made with excellent quality.Show more
We have the utmost respect to artists who put a lot of creativity and time into making exquisite pieces. The magnificent works of glass art they create are jaw dropping. American glass artists can make astonishing one off pieces upwards of thousands of dollars and if you can afford it, we urge you to get some because they are out of this world. Unfortunately not everyone is ready to purchase a glass piece of that caliber. You don't have to break the bank to enjoy a quality glass pipe or bong. We at hotboxed.com think quality and durable glass water pipes should be available to everyone at an affordable and fair price. Using hand pipes or water pipes are safer than rolled items and taste better. Water pipes allow you to get the most out of the dried herbs or tobacco. The smoother, thicker hits that have been filtered by a bubbling water action is already enough to consider trying water pipes and bongs if you haven't already.
This category not only is a great place for new comers to purchase their first bong, but for return customers who might want to try another type of bong. Or maybe even need a type of water pipe for oil and concentrate use. Well there are plenty of dab rigs here for under 100 dollars. So whether you are new to this or just don't want to break the bank while shopping for a bong, we have you covered.Show less

In this section I explain how using other people's builds can save you money and/or make you more money 😉
You will notice many 2×2 plots all over the map, or even larger plots. If all 4 or more belong to 1 Ether address, this player might be planning to build a Megabuilding, or at the least develop something that they hope will gain them lots of influence. I like to call these plots "hot influence spots" and we can use these spots to our advantage.
In the image above, you will see 5 residential builds all at a high level build already. What would be perfect to build near here?
Ohh Yes.. a Trade Mega Building could be built here without any further requirements! Of course you would need to purchase the land tiles.
I explain more about Value for Money in this section: VALUE FOR MONEY
We know from the dependencies chart shown earlier, that certain building combinations are required to upgrade buildings. So these combinations are KEY! You might have the plot of land that can help other players to level up… so you might be able to make a nice return on your investment with these plots. Check the prices of other tiles that are nearby and try to be competitive, if you want a quick return.
Due to how requirements are set up, building near to already upgraded buildings can help you to upgrade your building much faster. They may also increase the influence of your builds!
In this next section I talk about how to reduce another players influence, if you so desire 😛

Following news last week that Sturgis, Michigan is making fighting elder abuse a priority by training their police force to better protect the elderly from abuse, there's news that a new group has formed in Southeast Missouri – the Mississippi/Scott County Against Elder Abuse Coalition – to combat elder abuse in their area.
According to a story in today's Southeast Missourian newspaper, the Southeast Missouri not-for-profit has three years to train law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges, government agencies, victims' advocates, and others who come into contact with the elderly. The plan, says Martha Black, executive director of the Susanna Wesley Center, is to teach professionals in the two counties to identify and handle cases of elder abuse, ultimately coming up with a consistent, streamlined plan.
"What we're really going to do is open up the avenues of communication and strengthen the response," says Black. "The goal is to have a policy across two counties that all agencies agree to, so that if a police officer discovers a victim, for example, he knows who to call next so that elders don't slip through the cracks."
It may take a few more groups like this to make a trend, but the progress to end elderly abuse is moving in the right direction. Read today's story in the Southeast Missourian to learn more about the Mississippi/Scott County Against Elder Abuse Coalition.

When I was in the midst of raising teenagers I noticed how often mothers would talk about how busy they were as if it was a a badge of honor. It would often become a competition. One mother would tell why she was so busy: car pools, dance lessons, soccer games, flute lessons, etc. The next mom would say something like, "I know what you mean", and then begin to top the previous mom's activities. The underlying message was that the more activities your kids were in, the better mother you were. We all should have a full and enriching life but when someone's automatic response to "how are you?" is "busy" or "tired" to me that seems to imply a life out of control.
We often hear people tell us that they would like to sign up at FitMania but they are too busy to workout. And yet we have 400 people here and no one has ever said, "I had nothing to do today so I thought I would drop in and work out." Everyone here has a full schedule and yet they make the time. I saw this quote today from Tribe of Mentors and I think it worth repeating:
Being busy is a choice
I have been very attracted to a piece by Tim Kreider called Lazy: A Manifesto. Here are a few excepts:
- If you live in America in the 21st century you've probably had to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are. It's become the default response when you ask anyone how they're doing: "Busy!" "Crazy busy." It is, pretty obviously, a boast disguised as a complaint.
- It's most often said by people whose lamented busyness is purely self-imposed: work and obligations they've taken on voluntarily, classes and activities they've "encouraged" their kids to participate in. They're busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because they are addicted to busyness and dread what they might have to face in its absence.
- This busyness is not a necessary or inevitable condition of life; it's something we've chosen, if only by our acquiescence to it.
- Yes, I know we're all very busy, but what, exactly, is getting done? Are all those people running late for meetings and yelling on their cellphones stopping the spread of malaria or developing feasible alternatives to fossil fuels or making anything beautiful?
- This busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness: obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are *so busy*, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day. All this noise and rush and stress seem contrived to drown out or cover up some fear at the center of our lives."… One of my correspondents suggests that what we're all so afraid of is being left alone with ourselves.
- Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence, or a vice: it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration—it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.
How do we know we are too busy? If we are too busy to exercise, sleep well, eat well, have family meals, spend time with friends and have some time alone regularly, then we are truly too busy. While we are working that part out I suggest we all avoid the temptation to answer the question, "How are you?" with "busy" or "tired". It may not be as impressive as we hope. For myself I am gong to take this advice from Tim Kreider:
"Do less, better. That should be my mantra. What does matter? What will count for something worthwhile when I look back on it? What makes for a really good day? Focus on the quality of those things that will send me to bed each night with the satisfaction, not of having been busy, but of having spent my time wisely and joyfully."
By Sherry Stirling Fernandez

Consider me like you would an old friend who has watched the Warriors since grade school. I was born and raised in the Bay Area, am based a couple of miles from Oracle Arena, and have followed the team long before Curry or Durant were even college players. Since I was born in 1987, I mostly experienced a turbulent—if not miserable—stretch of fandom. I was too young to follow Run TMC—which was a glimpse of glory for the team in the early 90s before falling into a 12-year slump—so never really experienced any success as a fan. My first season must've been around '95-96, when I convinced my dad to buy me a #32 Joe Smith jersey. I wore that thing for as long as it fit my growing 5th grade body. This was back when players like Jordan and Ewing were still in the league, but I was proudly rocking my Warriors gear. The next season, the team switched up to the navy blue thunder uniforms, Antawn Jamison was drafted, and a new era began. I remember this transition vividly, how refreshing the rebranding felt. I also remember when Latrell Sprewell choked PJ Carlisemo in the locker room.
I remember lots of things about my team. For example, without doing a Google search, I can rattle off close to a decade's worth of Lottery Pick wash ups: guys like Todd Fuller, Chris Porter, Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, Ike Diogu, Patrick O' Bryant, Ekpe Udo; names that were supposed to signify a glorious shift in our team's reputation from being perennial losers to playoff contenders. It never happened. I grew up literally watching those teams. I recall the years of Adonal Foyle, Vonteego Cummings, Bimbo Coles, Speedy Claxton. I remember Larry Hughes being our go-to scorer. Or, more recently, I can mope about that Monta Ellis trade (still hurts, I admit, even though things worked out for us).
Throughout all this, my team was horrible, missing the playoffs every single year and never even finishing the season above .500. Television ads would promote the other team's players ("come see Vince Carter" or "watch Kobe and Shaq in town") because there was little else to look forward to. As a fan, I was raised with Sprewell's proverbial hands wrapped around my neck for what felt like decades of pain. But this is my home, and this is my team, so I stayed loyal each season, bearing the weight of winless years from elementary school to college.
In 2007, my team finally made a playoff appearance that I was old enough to watch. And damn, it was one to remember. It was the "We Believe" season. I still have my yellow shirt with names like Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington on it, with the faded NBA Playoffs logo from a game I attended. The one where J-Rich and the squad knocked #1-seeded Dallas out of the First Round. My second NBA playoff game was the following week when B-Diddy rocked Utah by nearly killing Andrei Kirilenko with a one-handed throw down dunk (sidenote: that game is still the loudest, most electrifying, impassioned sporting event I have ever attended). Back then, fans like me could attend a Warriors game for $25-50, no problem.
Fast forward to the current Warriors. Championship contenders. Record shatterers. Dominant, fast, strong. Easy to love with a winning air and golden smiles. Nowadays, instead of Lakers jerseys surrounding me (because everyone back then loved the Lakeshow before they switched up), I see armies of Currys, Thompsons, Greens, and now, Durants. Herein does not lie the problem. In fact, I own a couple of these newer jerseys myself. I go to local bars and raise a beer to the Splash Brothers as they wreak havoc on opposing defenses. I clap. I cheer. I want to see my team win. My beef is not with the success of the team. Instead, my problem is with what the success of this team exemplifies about the Bay Area's rapidly gentrifying landscape.
Gentrification is a loaded term. It means different things to different folks. Here is my take on it: when the businesses, housing market, public infrastructure, and general atmosphere of a neighborhood begin to morph overnight in order to appeal to a younger, more affluent, and often times transplanted demographic, this is gentrification. When my mom—who has spent her entire adulthood in the Bay Area after immigrating from Mexico—can no longer find a reasonably priced studio apartment so has to move to Southern California, this is gentrification. When my high school students tell me about how their families and friends are getting evicted from their apartments in San Francisco in order to create space for incoming tenants, this is gentrification. It is a brutal process of uprooting often poor and voiceless segments of a suddenly desirable neighborhood, without asking questions or thinking about the legacy of that place or those people.
So what does this have to do with Warriors basketball? On the surface, perhaps nothing. But consider the Warriors' rise to the national spotlight and what it has meant for the fans and families in this region: overpriced tickets; overcrowded venues; more people hopping onto an overloaded bandwagon without really knowing much about the team. Okay. Fine. I can deal with it. It's not their fault they didn't decide to follow the Dubs when Erick Dampier was our franchise player. It's no big deal if someone moves here from Chicago or Idaho or Ohio to work at Twitter or Teach For America and feels inclined to pick up a fresh Durant jersey for this season, right? They can go to the games in Oakland and clap when Curry makes a three-pointer, right?
Actually, that's where I start to push back. The reason the Bay Area has become aggressively unlivable in the past 5 years—check the housing prices and compare it to any other market in America, the price differentials might give you a heart attack—is because people keep moving here to partake in the benefits of this region without necessarily paying their dues or at the very least acknowledging what they are supplanting. The Bay is full of trendy locations, limitless culinary options, easy access to the outdoors, cultural diversity, moderate year-round weather, a strong counter-cultural scene, world-class professional opportunities—those of us who were raised here already know this, and also desire this lifestyle. Which millennial do you know who wouldn't choose the Pacific coast of San Francisco over the cornfields surrounding Indianapolis? (No offense, Indy, I visited once and had a decent time). I mean, it's at the point where Oakland—the once relegated and avoid-at-all-costs city by the Bay—has become a hotspot destination that is ridiculously competitive and expensive to live in. The tricky thing about gentrification is that it's like a ripple in a lake: once an impact has been made, it will continue to vibrate across the surface, pushing the center further and further away until it potentially washes up on a dry shore. So who is making the impact here? What are the ripple effects? Who are the ones that now find themselves looking in from the outside?
The Warriors are not a malicious organization. I don't believe Steve Kerr is scheming a secret play to see how many local fans and families can get screened out of their seats at the arena. But, unintentionally, the Warriors are contributing to this splash (no pun intended) that is making it more hip and more likely for outsiders to come dive into what our region offers. Think about it. Kevin Durant shakes up the league by hopping over from Oklahoma City (another place I have been to and which offers its own brand of fun, but isn't quite the cultural and financial magnet the Bay Area is ¬ not many places are). He plops down from the NBA superstar stratosphere, arrives to a hoard of clamoring fans decked out in his newly minted jersey (many fans who, by their own right, have also just plopped down here). Everyone predicts championship, pretends like our team is getting better, when in reality we lost a host of players like Andrew Bogut (rim protector), Harrison Barnes (inconsistent but explosive contributor), Marreese Speights (Mo Buckets!), Leandro Barbosa (a solid veteran), Festus Ezeli (you can hate on him, but the dude showed up for us when others were injured and was a huge body off the bench), and Brandon Rush (show the man some respect, he endured a potentially career-ending knee injury with us just a few seasons ago).
The bench is important to me as a fan. Yet we continue to overlook and underappreciate it. They're that thankless part of the team that will get exposed with a quickness in a playoff series if they are not capable of performing. What happens when you take the star players away, who will still come to watch our team play? My point is that having a couple superstars is not what made this team who they are, and it's not what the Bay Area is about. We drafted over many painful years, we cultivated from grassroots, we developed and built our community organically. Don't get me wrong, I love KD—even bought a pair of his signature kicks years ago—but the moment we start shipping in high-powered names is the day that we are saying goodbye to many of the fans and families who worked so hard to get us where we are today with their undying support and sacrifice.
It saddens me to admit that the Warriors are no longer my team of the Bay, but a team of the market. My evidence for this is simple: the Warriors are building a new arena in San Francisco. I repeat: the "San Francisco" Warriors are leaving the East Bay, where they have played in the shadows of misery for decades, and are relocating to the shiny skyline on the other side of the Bay Bridge, which is clearly the richer and whiter side of this region. Who are they stealing the team away from and who are they giving it to? Ask yourself. If that's not selling out, and if that doesn't embody the gentrified spirit of the new Bay Area, then I don't know what else to tell you. As it is, I haven't been able to attend more than one game a season because ticket prices seem to average $95-$115 for nosebleeds on a Tuesday night vs. a lackluster team like Phoenix. For someone else that might not seem like much, but for someone who isn't making $100,000+ a year or isn't willing to spend that money, and who often takes cousins, siblings, uncles, and friends to the game, $95-$115 a pop has officially priced me—and many other locals—out of the arena.
So what, San Francisco isn't that far, right? As a millennial who lives in Hayward, who teaches high schoolers around the East and South Bay, and who attends graduate school in San Francisco, I can tell you that the length and cost of the public transit commute to the City is not going to be simple or as easy as one might make it seem. As it is, riding to Oracle is no problem: if you drive, you take the 880 and hop into the parking lot; if you take transit, ride the BART and make that walk across the platform. No issues, really. But San Francisco? Think of the spacing and access. You're going to be looking at higher costs for more limited parking, and if you're taking transit, you're about to find out exactly how expensive and out-of-date our public transit networks are (I take it every day to SF, it costs $12 round trip on BART plus $5 for the bus once you get off the BART. So $17, or more, just to get to the game, which is ironically, what ticket prices used to cost about a decade ago.) This isn't even considering crossing the Bay Bridge at rush hour—good luck with that. In any case, show me a working adult who would be excited to pay more and endure longer travel distances in order to watch their team play in a new arena.
As an East Bay resident, and a South Bay product, I feel slighted that the Warriors would hop across the water to the City where everything already is. Having the Dubs in our backyard was one of the few reasons that forced people from that side to come this way. And in light of the recent 49ers move to Santa Clara, and Raiders plans to move to Las Vegas, it stings even more that local teams are taking the local fans for granted and simply going where they see more revenue. In what seems to be the norm around here, the landscape of the Bay Area has shifted to where the money is, and there is nothing the true fans and families can do to slow it down. While we cheer for Kevin Durant's three pointers on a new home court during the playoffs, our moms will continue to get pushed out of affordable housing in the greater Bay Area. But that's not as important as winning, is it?

Engø Gård
Originally built in 1845 as the popular summer country inn Pihls Pensjonat, Engø Gård Hotel and Restaurant was managed by several unique characters, including Frithjof Pihl and his sister Daisy, then by Frithjof and his second wife Dorothy, whose quirky and distinctive personality left a lasting impression at the hotel. Imaginative and knowledgeable, Dorothy was a strong-minded English woman that translated into the decor and style of the property creating an unmistakable British-style country home. Soon, luminaries and prominent personalities of Norway and other countries choose Engø Gård to experience an intimate and private tranquil escape from.
During the Second World War the country inn closed but reopened until the 1960s when it served as a summer residence for the owners. In 1983, Nina Felling and Harald Andersen acquired the hotel and oversaw extensive restoration, expansion, and upgrades. The hotel reestablished as Engø Gård in the summer of 2000 and has remained an exquisite choice for luxury accommodations and gracious service.
Engø's old charm is distinguishable by the property's surrounding yard, which has remained in its original state since Frithjof Pihl erected the dining rooms, Spisestuebygning, and Drengestuene, in the 1920s. While modern enhancements have been made, the unique features of the original buildings have been retained, comforting guests who return to the upgraded Engø Gård in spite of all the changes. The remaining fixtures and fittings of Pihls Pensjonat give the country inn an unmistakable style and an atmosphere of elegant nostalgia.
Engø Gård, a charter member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 2011, dates back to 1845.
