Sea Ark at the 2019 Bassmaster Classic
Welcome to SeaArk Boats
SeaArkBoats, a Correct Craft Company, share one goal; to build the toughest boat on the market. The SeaArk team is made up of generations and families of Master Craftsman who have obtained the skills and experience to make this happen. Built one at a time by men and women who share the love of the outdoors and understand that hunting and fishing are not just a hobby but a way of life. We understand the importance of only having to concentrate on tasting the sweet victory of a trophy catch or a limit and not having to worry with the durability of a boat. Even the untrained eye can see that SeaArk surpasses the competition by using superior parts in the construction, such as larger extruded caprails, heavier 3/16″ extruded center keels, thicker aluminum construction, thicker tread plate floors, and oversized ribs. This is who we are. Our way of life. Join the SeaArk family and have a Boat Built fora Lifetime.

Originally owned by the McClendon family SeaArk has a long tradition of building quality constructed all-welded aluminum boats. Since joining the Correct Craft team in early 2016, SeaArk has continued this path. Currently under the direction of company President Steve Henderson, SeaArk focuses on building over-built style boats. From thicker gauge aluminum, over-sized extruded caprails, extruded 3/16" keel, and heavy-duty ribs, SeaArk lives up to its slogan "Built for a Lifetime" perfectly. SeaArk is well known for creating the World's Largest Jon Boat in 1994 at 24 feet long and 72" wide. It has since upped the ante by recently creating a 26 foot jon boat.
Not only does SeaArk tote the title of World's Largest Jon Boat, but it can also claim the title of the Number One Catfishing Boat. Since its introduction in 2009 The ProCat Series has been a top choice for cat fishermen all across the country. Designed specifically for the tournament angler the SeaArk ProCat can be seen more than any other boat on the catfish tournament scene.
Sticking with the over-built style SeaArk also has models available for bass, crappie, mud, bay, duck, and non-specific species. It also has a large lineup in the tunnel/jet tunnel and sport jet market. There really isn't anything a SeaArk can't be used for.
Allowing a semi-custom experience when purchasing and designing your boat is another added plus to owning a SeaArk. With a wide array of options and accessories this makes it possible to fit the need of the customer exactly.
Choosing SeaArk is choosing quality workmanship, personal customer service, and one of the best warranties offered in the aluminum boat industry.

I think giving is a lot like prayer. It doesn't change God. It changes us.
When was the last time you gave a gift that made a difference in the life of someone else? Odds are that you walked away with a sense of satisfaction that money can't buy…God didn't just give to us, but he also hardwired us to give.
The invitation to give extends beyond name-brand purchases and well-wrapped gifts…We are invited to be generous in our relationships.
The invitation is imitation.
God demonstrated how he wants us to live through Jesus, not as people living merely for ourselves, but as those living for something greater. We are generous in our relationships when we choose inclusion over exclusion, forgiveness over a grudge, and righteousness over merely being right. In our relationships, we get down and dirty in the practice of giving. In our relationships, we are given another opportunity to reflect and further resemble God. ~Margaret Feinberg, Organic God.
As you begin a new week, consider who needs your relational generosity.
My observation is that we've become overly protective in our relationships: Waiting for others to make the first move. Hiding behind Facebook platitudes. Acting disinterested to cover the fear of rejection. I struggle with all these things too.
Image-bearing calls us to big giving.
Yesterday as I was exiting church, I received the biggest hug from someone I wouldn't say I know well. There was nothing stand-offish or insincere about it. Everything about that very big hug said, "I'm going out on a line to make sure you know I'm genuinely glad you are a small part of my day. You matter." I received it as a gift from the Lord. The invitation is indeed imitation!
Who is relationally generous with you? How do they demonstrate it?
How and with whom can you be generous today?
[This quote is from Margaret Feinberg's Organic God. I'm on my second read of it and being just as challenged as the first time. If you haven't read it, I suggest you get to it. Pronto.]

What Were the Earliest Cell Phones Like?
The earliest cell phones were far from portable. In fact, the earliest cell phones were not even phones; they were radios. Mobile rigs were the first version of a portable phone. They were used in taxis and police cars as early as 1930, and eventually became popular as a way of communication among the regular population. Mobile rigs required a base station and a hand-held device, and could be used either from home, or installed in cars and boats.
The earliest actual cell phones were released by Ericsson in 1971. The phone, called MTB (Mobile Telephone system B) was released first in Sweden and then in Norway and Finland. The system never expanded to other countries, and lasted until 1983 with only 600 customers. The MTB weighed 20 pounds (9 kg) and it was extremely expensive to install and use. A typical cell phone battery lasted for about 35 minutes of talking time, and then had to be recharged for 10 hours.
The earliest cell phones to be truly portable were released by Motorola in 1973. By 1983, the DynaTAC 8000X weighed two pounds (907 g) and was about 11 inches (37.9 cm) long. "The brick," as it was known by users, sold for $3995 US Dollars (USD). It took Motorola seven years to amass a million customers. The earliest cell phones to have a true network were released in Saudi Arabia in 1981, followed a month later by a vastly superior system in the Nordic countries. The earliest cell phones were not only expensive to buy, but also to use. Companies charge a line rental fee of about $6 USD a month, plus 50 cents per minute of talking time.
In the 1990s, Second Generation Cellulars (or 2G) were introduced, and smaller phones became the norm. This was possible in part because 2G phones were digital rather than analog as previous phones, which allowed for smaller batteries and more advanced technology. Analog phones also had another serious drawback: It was easy for somebody to clone the phone and charge calls to somebody else's number. It was also extremely easy to listen to private conversations using a simple scanner.

@turquoise-- The coverage of 70s and 80s cell phones were horrible. I had to pay something like $30 per month and probably talked for only 15 minutes per month. It was so hard to get a signal. The ringtones were very funny too.
I think we were kind of late in the US to use cell phones. I was the only one among my friends to have one in the 80s. I remember when I went to Europe in the late 90s, everyone had a cell phone and it was still not popular in the US yet. It took us a few years to catch up but now we have some of the best phones in terms of technology.
@burcidi-- Those bricks were unbelievable. My dad had one and I remember that the battery was so bad that he had to plug it in when he had to make a phone call. It also had its own case. There was no way you could carry it in on you. You had to put it in a handbag and I think it came with some sort of carrying case as well.
I think the coverage was okay but then again, my dad didn't use it that frequently.
I remember what cell phones looked like in the 80s. Of course, no one I knew personally owned one. They were very rare and expensive, so basically reserved for the wealthy. But I remember seeing them on TV and they looked huge! I always wondered how people used them.

Averda enters Indian market
8TH OCTOBER 2020: Averda, the leading end-to-end waste management company in the emerging world, is pleased to announce its entry into the burgeoning.

With a female population in excess of 500,000, Brazzaville is one of the very few capital cities of the African continent where women get honoured with a special parade on the 8th of March of every year – this year's title was 'Marche Pour La Paritè'. This year was no different and the streets of Brazzaville were beaming with decorations, flowers and special messages for this unique occasion represented by International Women's Day.
Averda Congo, true to its values of inclusion and equal opportunities, chose to honour the women of Brazzaville, not just its female employees, with something less than usual – painting a waste collection truck in pink and displaying, on its sides, a photo of the actual Averda Congo female staff.
The truck's 'new look' represented Averda's way of saying thank you to all the amazing women that are trying to make ends meet on a daily basis, to those women who very early in the morning take their produce to the markets of Brazzaville regardless of the weather conditions, to those women who dedicate their lives to teaching the future generations of Congolese how to build a better future for themselves and for their country and, most of all, to its own female employees without whom Averda Congo will not be the same passionate, driven and exciting company to work for.
After having sought the special permission from Madame Ines Bertille Ingani (the Minister for the Promotion of Women) to be accepted in the 8th of March Brazzaville parade, Averda's truck was the only vehicle allowed to be a part of the celebratory procession. Attended by the Republic of Congo's Prime Minister, the Minister for the Promotion of Women and many other high level Government officials Averda wanted to ensure that one of its most fundamental beliefs was shared with the wider Brazzaville public: 'Averda celebrates the Women every day'.
'I am so proud of all my female colleagues, of their achievements and their passion. I am grateful to them for their constant support in making us better at what we do, in providing us with unparalleled insights into what matters most to the communities they come from, and in allowing us to be a part of Brazzaville's path towards a better, cleaner and more prosperous capital city of this beautiful African country.'
8TH OCTOBER 2020: Averda, the leading end-to-end waste management company in the emerging world, is pleased to announce its entry into the burgeoning.
September 30th 2020, Doha: Averda, a leading waste management company in the region, has secured a contract to provide comprehensive waste management.
Averda, the leading end-to-end waste management company in emerging markets, has stepped up operations over the Eid period, collecting over 16,000 ton.

BANGKOK — Thailand has barred a top leader of Cambodia's opposition party from entering the country, casting doubt on plans for its exiled leaders to return to their homeland against the Cambodian government's wishes.
Mu Sochua, a former lawmaker of the court-disbanded Cambodia National Rescue Party, says she was deported Sunday after arrival at Bangkok's international airport.
Co-founder Sam Rainsy has declared that he and other exiled party colleagues plan to return to Cambodia on Nov. 9, along with a mass of Cambodian supporters who also live outside the country. While Thailand has never been publicly specified, it is the only practical location for such a plan.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has said security forces would stop or arrest the would-be returnees, whom he has called traitors.

One-armed Burnaby drummer becomes internet sensation
VANCOUVER -- "Duality" by the heavy metal band Slipknot is a challenging tune to play for most drummers. But 22-year-old Jack Thomas from Burnaby, B.C., has mastered the song, doing so with only one arm.
A video of one of his performances was uploaded on YouTube by Drumeo, an Abbotsford-based company that provides online drum lessons.
Within a week, the video had already been viewed 500,000 times.
"Drumming, for me, is the most therapeutic and uplifting thing that I have ever done," said Thomas.
On Sept. 4 2015, Thomas lost his dominant arm while at work. He remembers the moment it got caught in a conveyer belt before he blacked out.
Thomas recalls asking his co-worker afterwards if his arm was there.
"He said, 'Sorry buddy, but your arm is gone,'" said Thomas.
But he didn't let that stop him. Almost immediately after his surgery, Thomas picked up his drumsticks and practiced, something he says he does often at Lindsay Music Studios in Port Coquitlam.
Now, his YouTube video is shining the spotlight on his talent and garnering international praise.
"He's like Def Leppard's drummer, but with steroids," commented one viewer, referring to musician Rick Allen who beat the odds after losing his left arm in a near-fatal car accident.

Come along with me as I go to the movies with the November Spinning Box from spinningbox.com. Complete with a side of buttered popcorn.
I love to share my LOVE of fiber with anyone who is interested but I have a captive audience! GRANDCHILDREN! Mark loves for the children to come to his wood shop to learn about wood and building things too.
We have a total of 8 grandchildren with two of them living less than a mile from the house so we get to spend A LOT of time with them and they love to be in the wool room with me. Kaylee, 6, and Max, 4, are budding Fiber Artists. Both have their own ideas of what looks good in batts.
Kaylee loves to add lots, and lots, and lots and then just a little more sparkle in her batts. She also comes up with unique (and bizarre) names for all of her fiber. She has been known to climb into my box of wool scraps and roll around. I think she's a lot like me and loves to smell and feel the wool. She is also interested in learning to spin and spends time working her yarn in and out of the spinning wheel. She informed me that the look on her face was not an angry look but a look of concentration.
Max on the other hand is more subdued and likes to draft and stretch the fibers. He loves to watch the machines and touch everything on them. He learned the hard way recently not to put his fingers around the belt to the carder. Max names his batts after people – cracks me up!
Further up the road we have Schuyler, 10, and Brailey, 6, who also love fiber. "OH MY GOSH" is a term that I hear a lot when they are working with me. They've been able to make batts to make scarves and have needle-felted little gnomes. Pop-Pop was a little nervous when they were using the needles and Schuyler found out the hard way that the needles really hurt! I can't wait until they have more time to spend with us learning this craft. Schuyler has also been in the wood shop and has turned an ink pen on the lathe.
Daniel, 11, lives further away so we don't get to see him as often but when he comes he likes to be in the workshop with Grandpa. He spent some time this summer building gifts for each of his family members. He has an amazing knack at following directions and putting stuff together. He put together all the shelves for the fiber room!!!
My nephew Tim, 11, also likes to be in the wool! He loves colors and design. He's one I can call and he'll come help me with the fiber. He has made several batts which I've spun into yarn to make him a winter hat and he's designed a batt that we wet-felted into a lovely, colorful scarf. He too has needle-felted a gnome and seemed to have a great time doing it.
I enjoy watching the children's faces as they watch piles of wool turn into something recognizable! As time progresses I hope to be able to have them playing more active roles in the wool room and soon in Grandpa's workshop working on wood projects.

According to a recent blog by the renowned US fundraising copywriter Tom Ahern, 80 per cent of the individual wealth of the US is owned by people aged 60 or more. This compelling figure has also been cited for decades as applicable to the UK - the "over-60s" marketing agency, Millennium, used it in its promotions (but I can't ask about it because it went into administration).
I've not found a source for that statistic in either country, but I looked recently at the Office for National Statistics' definitive Wealth and Assets Survey, published in May 2014 and covering the UK. It makes salutary reading, particularly for those directors of fundraising who still bleat about needing to attract a younger demographic of donors. They've been saying the same for 30 years, and it's a fact of life that the non-giving younger demographic of yesteryear are now the donors of today - not because they were recruited to give their first gifts in their 30s, but because they are now in their late 50s and early 60s, and that's the time people have the money to donate seriously.
I realise that I'm using ageist language, but you do need to understand who owns the wealth in this country. If you're reading this article, you almost certainly donate, probably to several charities, and many of your friends do, too. But most readers of this magazine are not members of the groups in the UK that own the most individual wealth. That's because you are neither retired nor near retirement.
What do I mean by individual wealth? It is made up of four constituent parts: property wealth (net of mortgage debt); financial wealth (cash, savings, stocks and so on); physical wealth (the mass of things we own); and private pension wealth. The first and the last are the big influencers, accounting for 75 per cent of wealth. Out of ten, the three wealthiest groups, by far, are older. There's no clear guidance on age; it's more to do with life-stage and whether the two key drivers of emotional change - retirement and children leaving home - have occurred.
In the wealthiest group - but accounting for only 5 per cent of the UK population - are couples with one under state retirement age and one over it, and no kids. Their average wealth is nearly three times the average national household value of £218,000. In the next wealthiest group are couples, both of whom are over retirement age, again with no kids; in the third, just behind them, are couples with children who are now independent - grown and flown. In total, those three groups make up only 26 per cent of the population. But that's where the disposable money clearly lies.
What are the implications of the nation's wealth being concentrated in the hands of relatively few people? Only one other group - couples under retirement age but with no kids - has a wealth value above the national average. All six other groups (62 per cent of the population) fall under the average, particularly young single households and young sharing households. This certainly challenges the plea for younger donors and the belief that new and social media will quickly replace traditional media.
What are the implications for fundraisers? Whatever you do and however much you resent having to do the same as fundraisers did 30 years ago, you should not neglect traditional fundraising that targets older people - that's where the money lies. And the simple fact that older people die sooner than younger people means their legacy gifts are more likely to arrive before you too retire.

CSOs urge President Buhari to expedite action on assenting to minimum wage bill – Seniora Post
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sign into law, the new Minimum Wage Bill transmitted to him by the National Assembly, saying "it is long overdue."
Mr Celestine Odo, Manager, Governance of the ActionAid Nigeria, and Mr Okeke Anya, Programme Manager, Democratic Governance of Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), made the call on Wednesday in Abuja.
NAN reports that the bill, aiming to increase the minimum wage from N18, 000 to N30,000 had passed third reading at the National Assembly and transmitted to President Buhari for assent.
The lawmakers pegged the wage bill across all categories of workers at N30, 000 against the N27, 000 proposed for state workers by the president after consulting the National Council of State members.
President Buhari had also on March 25 received the report of the Technical Advisory Committee on the Implementation of the New National Minimum Wage.
Speaking with NAN, Mr Odo said since President Buhari had shown interest in supporting the wage increase, "efforts should be made to expedite action on the bill as soon as possible."
"The president has been saying that he is in support of an increase in the minimum wage and he will ensure it comes through. So this should be followed with action," he said.
According to him, though the Federal Government's challenge is how to raise funds for the increase, it is time the bill is signed into law.
"We are urging the president not to even waste time to sign it immediately so that they roll it into motion.
"We are already mobilising the civil society organisations, stakeholders and even the Nigeria Labour Congress, to urge him to sign the bill.
"It is overdue and even going by the price index, the N30, 000 falls below the expected earnings within the Nigerian context," he said.
On his part, Mr Anya said since the lower and the upper houses in the National Assembly had concurred on N30, 000 minimum wage for workers, the president should not hesitate assenting to it.
"By and large, the N30, 000 is not up to a $100 per month.
"So, I call on the president to sign the bill into law, knowing that people are suffering.
"Otherwise, it will be a very great disservice to the working population in Nigeria," he said. (NAN)

text: This book contains the first volume of John Henry Newman's 1900 work, "Select Treatise of St. Athanasius in Controversy with the Arians". Highly recommended for those with an interest in the Nicene Creed and Christian doctrine, this fascinating volume would make for a great addition to collections of allied literature, and is not to be missed by fans of Newman's work. Contents include: "Encyclical of Alexander Excommunicating Arius", "Epistle of Athanasius in Defence of the Nicene Definition of the Homooúsios", "Conduct of the Arians towards the Nicene Definition of the Homooúsios", "The Meaning of that Word, as an Appellation of Our Lord", "Defence of its Meaning", Defence of its Definition", "Authorities in Support of it", "The Arian Symbol", "Ingenerate", et cetera. John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) was an influential figure in the religious history of nineteenth-century England. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

A little bit about me...
I've been a student of Magick for more than a decade with my focus being on Wizardry. It can be said that I enjoy the bardic arts and, if I'm honest, I often find myself telling a tale to any who will listen. I am of course also a lover of philosophy, and pondering the greater mysteries such as, "What is the meaning of life?", and the classic "What's for Dinner...". To the matter of Wizards being "know it alls"... I'll concede to that as a partial fact. It should be noted that I don't believe a good Wizard needs to actually know everything about everything, only that they should have a means of finding out...
Having grown up with the Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard as my constant companion, I would dare to consider myself a true Wizard at heart, and a child of the teachings endorsed by the Grey School. I am honored to have been welcomed onto the GSW faculty in the summer of 2017 at the age of twenty three,
becoming the youngest Professor to ever teach at the school,
An accomplishment I take great pride in.
My day to day is filled with teaching at the Grey School as a Professor in the department of Wizardry, serving faithfully as Assistant to the Headmaster and Provost, founding magickal orders and undertaking other such projects as need be/whim demands.
Though Perhaps most importantly about a Wizard is their favorite quote,
and I would be remiss if I failed to share mine:
"The Difference between a rock and a stepping stone, is how it's used."

What is henna? | Learn to henna | Buy henna | Get hennaed
About Holly | Portfolio | Resources | Contact
You may have read on various websites about the health dangers of "black henna"... I will once again reiterate the importance of knowing what you're getting and what the risks are.
Please note: not all 'black henna' artists are bad people; the majority don't even realize how unsafe it is! Knowledge is power, and my message will provide you some insight on the risks.
There is no such thing as black-coloured henna. The jet black colour is achieved from a chemical ingredient added to the paste. This synthetic ingredient is usually a coal-tar dye called "PPD" or para-Phenylendiamine. It is absorbed into your skin, enters your blood stream, and in turn passes through your kidneys and liver. People have had extreme reactions and lifelong damage.
The chemical burn caused by PPD causes the skin to blister, swell and itch. You can have a permanently scar. You can also develop allergies to other things, even if you use it once.
Every single application of "black henna" affects you - the toxins stay in your body for the rest of your life.
Even if you don't see a visible reaction to PPD, it is still harmful. PPD penetrates deep into the skin, reaching the dermis (living cells) and passing into the blood stream. This is in contrast to henna, which only penetrates as far as the dead skin cells of the epidermis. Once in the blood stream, PPD may have effects on the kidneys, resulting in kidney impairment. Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may cause asthma, so those who prepare PPD-based black henna are at risk as well. PPD never leaves your body - in fact, it accumulates in your body after each and every exposure to it, leading to permanent injury and sensitivities/allergies.
Imagine not being able to use sunscreen, cosmetics, dark-coloured fabrics, leather, and hair dyes ever again. And that's the best-case scenario.
PPD is regulated by Health Canada for limited use in products, such as hair dyes. It is not intended for use directly on skin, especially in high concentrations.
Health Canada effectively bans the use of "black henna" temporary tattoo ink and paste containing PPD:
Since Health Canada ruled that using PPD in henna, vendors have started using other chemicals: Nigrosene (or Nigrosine, also called "Acid Black 2") is an Azo dye. It has been commonly used in shoe polish, and dying leather and plastic. Nigrosene is also very harmful and can cause similar reactions (blistering, itching, swelling, scars) and allergies, and has been linked to cancer.
If a vendor tells you the colour is from a food dye, they aren't telling you the truth: Food dye will not make henna black. Food dye cannot stain skin for days. The dye molecule is too big to penetrate into the skin, so it sits on the surface. It can be washed away with soap and water.
What to do if you have a reaction to "black henna" :
The doctor will most likely prescribe a topical steroid cream to reduce swelling, itching and blistering.
Where is "black henna" usually found?
Why even bother with "black henna"?
People have told me they like how it looks like a real tattoo. A safe alternative are Temptu theatrical body paints. These are FDA-approved body paints that have been used on television and in movies to create convincing tattoos. Many colours to choose from, easy to apply and lasts for days.
How can you tell if an artist is using real henna??
Essential oil is an optional ingredient - Tea Tree, Lavender, Cajeput, Ravensara and Eucalyptus are considered "safe" essential oils. (Mehndi or Mahalabya oil are unregulated and may contain strong Clove Bud essential oil, ammonia and even kerosene!)
How to report "black henna" use in Canada
Please contact your nearest Health Canada Product Safety Office if you suspect that PPD is being used by a local vendor, or if you suspect you have suffered an adverse reaction from a "black henna" temporary tattoo. Call toll-free 1-866-662-0666 or send an email to email@example.com.

The German Red Cross has been involved in rescue operations in the south-east of the country.
Volunteers from National Societies in Czech Republic and Austria were also in action earlier this week.
By Giovanni Zambello, IFRC, and German Red Cross
As torrential ravage large areas of Central Europe, Red Cross societies in the region are responding to some of the worst flooding in decades. At least ten people have died in Czech Republic, while thousands have been evacuated from large swathes of Czech Republic, Austria, and south-east Germany, where the floodwaters have damaged infrastructure and brought havoc and disruption to essential services and transportation. More rain is expected in coming days, which may aggravate existing problems.
As the floods move downstream, governments of countries so far affected to a lesser extent by the floods – Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Switzerland – have declared the state of emergency in the most flood-prone areas.
With ten reported dead and another nine missing, and suburban Prague under water since last weekend, Czech Republic is among the worst affected countries. In large areas of Bohemia, the Czech Red Cross has been supporting local authorities in the evacuation of people from affected areas – at least 8,000 have reportedly been evacuated – and in the provision of emergency shelters. The National Society has also launched a fundraising initiative in cooperation with media outlets.
In Germany, where many rivers have already broken their banks, causing the death of at least four people and forcing some 10,000 people out of their homes, the German Red Cross is supporting people in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Thuringia. The National Society has also set up shelters and used boats and helicopters to evacuate affected areas on overflowing riverbanks, while the national headquarters is coordinating the operations and has issued a call for donations.
"People are now remembering the severe flooding of the Elbe and Oder rivers. We have to spare them a similar traumatic experience as in 1997 and 2002," said Dr Rudolf Seiters, President of the German Red Cross. "We have established a central coordination unit to manage personnel and resources. We want to ensure that relief items are deployed to the most affected regions as quickly as possible."
In Austria, where floods and landslides have struck the provinces of Tirol, Vorarlberg, Salzburg, Upper Austria and Lower Austria, the Austrian Red Cross has been working around the clock assisting the authorities with evacuations, distributing relief items, providing emergency medical services and emergency shelters, as well as psychosocial support to both beneficiaries and responders.
Coca-Cola Hellenic, with which the IFRC has an agreement on disaster preparedness and response, has donated pallets of water in Czech Republic and Austria, in support to the relief operations of the National Societies.
"If rainfall continues, the main concern will be the downstream Danube countries, where the water levels have not peaked yet," said Alberto Monguzzi, Disaster Management Coordinator in the IFRC Europe Zone Office. "We are working closely with National Societies in potentially affected countries like Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria to make sure they have updated contingency planning in place, which can enable a swift and smooth response in case the rivers will cause more flooding."

A London-based chain of tea rooms has become the first in the UK and Europe to offer what it is dubbing the "Selfieccino", a cappuccino with the customer's selfie printed on it using futuristic printing technology.
The Tea Terrace, which owns three tea rooms at the House of Fraser department stores in London Oxford Street, London Victoria Street and Guilford, is using a system that scans the selfie and injects edible food colouring into the froth to print the image.
Ehab Shouly, managing director of The Tea Terrace, said: "We are proud to be introducing something quite unique to the UK market. It's the first time people will be able to print their selfie, or any image, on their cappuccino."
Customers simply take a selfie and then send it via a messaging app to the barista at The Tea Terrace who will then prepare a delicious frothy cappuccino as they would normally do.
The barista then puts the mug of cappuccino under the high-tech printer, which prints the selfie on to the froth in less than 30 seconds.
"The likeness and accuracy of the image is amazing. And it still looks like what is known among coffee lovers as 'barista art', which is when a barista spends time creating a likeness of a customer on the froth manually. The problem with barista art is that by the time it's done, the cappuccino's gone cold," Shouly said.
He added that the Selfieccino takes the customer experience one step further.
"For us, today's dining experience is no longer just about having great food and drink. It's all about differentiation and about creating unique experiences that our customers can document on social media. Our research shows that restaurants today have the highest share of photos posted on social media," he added.
The Tea Terrace plans to expand on its proprietary Selfieccino name. It has registered the domain names www.Selfieccinos.com and www.Selfieccinos.co.uk and plans to create a website where customers can post photos of themselves with their selfie coffees.

Trump said in an interview that he would accept damaging information on his election opponents from foreign entities, defiantly unrepentant after spending 2½ years trying to fight off allegations that his 2016 campaign had colluded with Russia to help him win the White House.
The president declared he would not punish White House counselor Kellyanne Conway after a federal agency recommended she be fired for violating rules barring executive branch officials from engaging in political activities.
The White House asserted executive privilege in a bid to shield documents from Congress over the administration's decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, prompting lawmakers to hold two Trump Cabinet officials in contempt.
Taken together, the actions set off new alarm bells among legal analysts and Trump's political rivals who warned that the president and his aides have emerged from the scorched-earth battle over the special counsel's 22-month investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election with a conviction that they need not feel constrained by the safeguards built into the nation's political system as they look to 2020.
"We're at a bad place. They're emboldened and not trying to hide it anymore," said Glenn Kirschner, a legal analyst who spent three decades as a federal prosecutor.
Pointing to Trump's interview with ABC News's George Stephanopoulos, during which the president said he would "listen" to foreign countries offering damaging information on his general election opponent, Kirschner said the lesson Trump took away from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's 448-page redacted report was that his campaign suffered no consequences for holding meetings with Russian operatives they believed had damaging information about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Mueller did not establish a criminal conspiracy, even though several Trump associates were indicted on charges of lying to investigators.
"They realized they could get away with it," Kirschner said. "There's no accountability."
Trump's willingness to take foreign opposition research from a foreign government draws Democratic condemnation
Trump sought to do damage control Friday after a political backlash to his remarks, calling in to the sympathetic Fox & Friends show to say he would "look at" information from a foreign entity to determine whether it was "bad" and then turn it over to the FBI or attorney general. It is illegal to accept election assistance from a foreign national, a point that Federal Election Commission Chairman Ellen Weintraub reiterated Thursday in the wake of the outcry over Trump's position.
But the president's equivocations over how he would handle such a scenario were echoed by his campaign, which spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said would assess the matter on a "case-by-case basis."
"He said he would likely do both: listen to what they have to say, but also report it to the FBI," McEnany told CBSN, calling it the president's "directive."
Trump supporters said his political rivals have fanned a faux controversy as part of an ongoing effort to make the election a referendum on his conduct and intemperate behavior rather than a contest of policy ideas.
"I'm not sure some of these side excursions resonate in Iowa," said Jeff Kaufmann, the chairman of the Iowa Republican Party who warmed up the crowd at a GOP fundraising dinner Trump attended last week. "I don't think a successful Democratic campaign would be one that focuses on Mueller or one particular tweet. I don't think that is going to work."
He added: "I really think of the old phrase, 'It might not be good to drink water out of a fire hose.' Democrats have created so many avenues of criticism, everything becomes a bit of a blur."
Republican leaders have offered a mixed response, with many stating that, despite Trump's contention that all members of Congress "do it," they would unequivocally reject information offered by foreign entities. But some also joined Trump and his campaign by attempting to shift the focus on the fact that Democrats financed the work of a former British intelligence officer who compiled a dossier about Trump and his alleged ties to Russia.
Trump's brazen posture has contributed to hand-wringing among Democrats about the rules of combat in 2020.
Sue Dvorsky, a former chairwoman of the Iowa Democratic Party, described Trump as a "human flash-bang grenade" and said everybody in the party is wrestling with the question of not just how to go at Trump but how the rules of political warfare in general have changed. The debate centers on how the party competes with a sitting president who so openly flouts the norms of political conduct and ethics and whether Democrats should consider doing the same.
In fact, nearly all the 2020 Democratic campaigns have agreed verbally not to use stolen or hacked material in the race in recent weeks. But most candidates have not signed a written pledge circulated by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), who is one of 23 Democratic candidates.
"We're not going to be able to put somebody up on the stage with him and beat him at his own game," Dvorsky said. "There are no rules to his own game. We're not getting in a ring with some sort of antiquated, Marquess of Queensberry rules. This guy is a WWE fighter."
Trump has demonstrated time and again his willingness to go to the mat to protect his interests and allies. In response to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel's finding last week that Conway had on several occasions violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits most presidential aides from engaging in political activities, Trump defended her as a "terrific person" and suggested she was the aggrieved party.
"It looks to me like they're trying to take away their right of free speech. And that's just not fair," Trump told "Fox and Friends" of Conway, a ferocious campaign aide in 2016 who became one of his longest-serving White House advisers. "She's got to have the right of responding to questions" from reporters.
The White House also has sought to prevent former Trump aides and government officials from cooperating with congressional probes into Russian interference, the president's tax returns and the administration's efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, which Democrats have said could lead to inaccurate results.
Simon Rosenberg, president of NDN, a liberal think tank, said Trump is acting out of desperation to fundamentally change the political landscape in hopes of improving his poll numbers.
Last week, ABC News reported that Trump's internal polling data from March showed him trailing former vice president Joe Biden in the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida, and running just barely ahead in Texas. Trump campaign officials said the data was outdated and misleading, based on worst-case scenarios, and that more recent surveys that added descriptions of policies have had better results for the president, although that data has not been made public.
"When a candidate is in trouble, they start to look to do extraordinary things," Rosenberg said. "This is an extraordinary challenge to our democracy. The president is operating as if the rule of law is for little people and for big people like him, it doesn't apply."

On April 15 and 16, 2016, Local H celebrated the 20th anniversary of their second album, As Good As Dead (released April 16, 1996), along with the surprise return of Joe Daniels on drums, with two sold out shows at Metro in Chicago. The weekend also included an intimate acoustic set early Saturday evening, for 100 weekend package ticket holders, that took place in the Top Note Theater, located on the fourth floor of Metro. Read our review and see photos of night one here and the acoustic set here.
Both Friday and Saturday night sets were billed as "An Evening With Local H" so there was no opening band. Due to Saturday's show being all ages, the night started a little earlier. It was interesting to see quite a few younger fans in attendance. Some appeared to be there on their own, while others appeared to be with their parents. I'm curious to know if the younger generation are into Local H because of their parents or a relative or if they some how stumbled across that little band from Zion, Illinois all on their own.
Prior to the shows, Local H had posted on social media that 44 songs would be played over the course of three shows. As a result, absolutely none of the nine songs during the first set of night two were the same as the Friday set. To be honest, if you opted to not attend Saturday, you missed out. Overall, the band still delivered just under 2-1/2 hours of music including the opening set with Scott Lucas and Ryan Harding, the second set of the entire As Good As Dead album with Scott and original drummer Joe Daniels, and an encore set that included both Ryan and Joe on drums. It was quite a night.
Once again a local radio station personality spoke on stage to talk about JBTV filming all weekend for a future video and to introduce the band. She said, "This is the best weekend I've ever had," and got the crowd to start chanting, "Local H! Local H!" After she left, almost immediately Scott Lucas and Ryan Harding appeared on stage to loud cheering from the crowd. Scott and Ryan started playing and eventually Scott sang the opening count off, "One, two." Once he got to, "One, two, three, four!" the night had officially started with Rock & Roll Professionals, the first of four songs from Here Comes the Zoo. Next was Gig Bag Road, the first of three songs from Hey, Killer. This is such a powerful song live and is one of my personal favorites. I don't know why, but I was a little surprised when they launched into Creature Comforted. Hey, I'm not complaining and based on the reaction I saw from the crowd, they weren't either. They continued showing love for their Here Comes the Zoo album with Half-Life.
Once the song was over, Scott finally spoke to the crowd thanking them and welcoming them. He asked if anyone was at the Friday show. After the crowd cheered he joked that he missed the whole thing. He called out the crowd for looking a little subdued before playing two songs from Hey, Killer. Scott sang, "Hack actors choking on the scenery, mere grist to feed the machinery, fairy tales and useless fables, prayers at the children's table, that ends with us dead," from The Misanthrope and then the song really kicked into gear and that's when the moshing started. This song is a bit of a roller coaster as there are some slower sections but the build up to the fast-paced playing make it exciting. There was no time for talking and they immediately went into the upbeat, dare I say, slightly poppy sounding Mansplainer. Don't get me wrong though, these back to back songs from Hey, Killer show exactly how good Local H are in 2016. While the band has a massive back catalog of songs to choose from, they are still creating songs that are interesting and engaging.
Before I knew it, the first set was quickly coming to an end. What's the saying, "time flies when you're having fun." Well, everyone was definitely having fun. Scott started playing those familiar opening notes and everyone started clapping and singing along with him, "Hands on the Bible, scared like a child, God holds you liable, for what you've done," and pretty much continued singing along throughout the entire song. It's always cool to listen to a crowd sing a band's song right along with them. Local H fans love their band!
The final two songs of the set were from the Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles? album. First was That's What They All Say , which to me has one of the coolest sounding intros. At the very beginning of the song, pretty much after Scott sang, "Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say," the crowd took over with the "Yeah, uh huh" chant and he let them repeat it quite a few times before he continued singing the next verse. Once again, the tones Scott was getting out of his instrument made the song, at times, take on a deep and twisted groovy sound. However, it was towards the end of the song where he really created some amazing distorted magic. Ryan's drumming on this one was also pretty insane. The way he pounded on his kit, I'm surprised it's not left in pieces at the end of every song. They immediately went into Heavy Metal Bakesale. Another ferocious fast-paced song that left everyone in the crowd hyped up. Scott thanked the crowd and mentioned Local H were next. I also saw Ryan throw a stick into balcony. I hope everyone up there was paying attention as it appeared to be flying pretty fast.
There was a much quicker break compared to Friday night and before everyone knew it, it was time for round two. At almost 9 p.m., Scott and Joe walked on stage to loud cheering and clapping from the audience. Scott addressed the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Daniels." The crowd chanted Joe's name briefly as he walked to the edge of the stage and shook hands with a bunch of people down front before taking his place behind his kit. Scott strummed his guitar before speaking to the crowd. "Alright, one more time. Let's take a trip back to before we all had cell phones to 1996." Same as the previous night, the crowd cheered loudly at his statement. They played the album in the exact same order as Friday night with Scott singing the opening to Manifest Density Pt. 1, "One, two, three, four. You're on to something good." I have to say, just out of habit of having listened to the As Good As Dead album many times over the years, the fact that they didn't play High-Fiving MF next just seems a tad bit wrong. However, I get it.
They followed it up with another fan favorite, Bound For The Floor, which had people bouncing around and signing along. During Lovey Dovey, Gabe came out once again to play tambourine and of course kazoo. The intensity of playing from both Scott and Joe during I Saw What You Did And I Know Who You Are jumped up tremendously during this song. Both of them playing furiously as the crowd reacted in unison. There were more trippy effects from Scott that felt like we were about to take off in a space ship.
About halfway through Freeze Dried (F)lies, Joe's kick drum pedal broke. He stood up and chucked the entire pedal into the crowd. I cringed. I couldn't believe he just did that and I hoped that everyone in the area had been paying attention. Scott continued playing while Joe quickly switched out his pedal and the song continued. If you asked someone to name their favorite song from As Good As Dead, I'm not sure how many people would pick this song, but after hearing it two nights in a row, it should be played live more often than not. Side note on the pedal, after the show in the merch line, I spotted the guys with Joe's pedal. Luckily it did not hit anyone, but he admitted there was a struggle and that there was pretty much no way he wasn't walking out of the building with it.
They continued with Eddie Vedder and the song ended with those same siren sounding effects before launching into the abrasive, fast-paced Back In The Day. Same as Friday night, Joe left the stage for the beginning of No Problem, but came back to play when the time was right. Once again, with all eyes on Scott as he sang, I really wish I knew what was going through his mind. By this point, I would hope he felt it had been a pretty successful weekend. Based on everything I had witnessed, I don't think anyone in the crowd would have anything to complain about. Chicago loves Local H! Scott continued into the next song, "A one-trick pony in a one-horse town," from Nothing Special as the music gradually built up to him yelling, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with me?"
Local H fans love certain songs and Fritz's Corner was no exception. At the very first notes of this song, the crowd erupted in cheers. They knew what time it was and the audience were more than happy to sing along pretty much during the entire song, including a small section of the song where Scott let the crowd sing alone. Scott was at the edge of the stage when all of a sudden I noticed he had grabbed someone's phone and was holding it up filming the crowd and what appeared to be himself before giving the phone back. Considering his comment about cell phones at the beginning of the set, I was a little surprised at this action. However, it was a cool moment for that person.
With heavy guitar distortion and the accompanying massive drumming from Joe, they played what is probably the most familiar song in their catalog, High-Fiving MF. The song was full of plenty of feedback and the noises that only Scott can create so very well. After the song, Joe swapped out his snare and again showed the crowd what was written on the top, F–K TRUMP with a sad face. Scott thanked everyone for coming. "Thank you so much, really," and mentioned they were going to bring out Ryan to play bass on the next song. At about the same time Scott started playing O.K., the crowd simultaneously started chanting, "Joe! Joe! Joe!" and Scott actually stopped playing and the crowd chants got louder. Scott joked that Joe would be on the Republican ticket and everyone could vote for him come November.
The space like sounds from Scott at the end of O.K. lead into probably one of the best versions of Manifest Density Pt. 2. The variety of notes played by Scott throughout the song, along with Ryan's bass playing and the groove Joe was holding down made this an excellent way to end the AGAD set. In fact, Ryan's playing in this song seemed even more amped up than the previous night as he was constantly bouncing around on stage, hair flying, and just rocking the f—ck out. The song ended with Joe and Ryan, one by one, leaving the stage which left only Scott and his pedals and effects to end the night.
While waiting for the band to come out for the encore, the crowd started a Local H chant. It wasn't very long before Scott, Ryan and Joe walked on stage to finish out the night. Would they play any of the same encore songs from the previous night? Would they play something totally unexpected? Yes, to both. Scott asked the crowd, "You got some more left in you?" and everyone cheered and clapped a resounding yes. I can't even stress enough how awesome it was seeing two drummers playing in Local H. They started the encore with All-Right (Oh, Yeah) and proceeded to tear the place down with their performance. Same as Friday, Scott changed the line in All The Kids Are Right. "You heard that we were great, but now you know we're lame, since you saw the show…" He stopped singing and the crowd finished with, "…last night." However, Scott changed it to, "…tonight." There was a lot of constant crowd singing in this one and there were times when Scott would let the crowd sing alone. Same as Friday night, once Scott sang the line, "You hoped that we would rock, wished that we'd just stop," they literally stopped playing. The crowd erupted in cheers. They waited a few seconds and started playing again to finish the song.
Once the song was over Scott repeated, "Thank you," over and over to crowd. He continued thanking everyone for being so great to them and for making them very happy. Once again he thanked everyone at Metro before he asked everyone to give it up for Joe, which incited another crowd chant of his name, and then he asked for everyone to give it up for Ryan, which had the crowd erupting in more loud cheers and the crowd began chanting his name as well. There was nothing but love that night for both drummers. Scott joked that he felt like Caesar between the two of them. Scott asked everyone to give it up for Gabe Rodriguez and again, the crowd cheered loudly and started chanting his name over and over as well. Scott continued by letting everyone know, "It's not lost on us how great you people are." He thanked everyone for coming to the show and for everything they've done and expressed how much they appreciated it and how cool it was for them.
Overall the Saturday set was slightly shorter than Friday time wise, plus there was one less song in the encore, however, there appeared to be no complaints with the two songs that were repeated in the encore. They are fan favorites for a reason. Scott yelled, "One more song everybody!" and the night ended with Skid Marks from their first album Ham Fisted, that started with Gabe singing, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Unlike with most of the Local H songs Gabe helps out with backing vocals, where he's on and off the stage in a flash, this time he pretty much sang all of the song with backing help from Scott. While Gabe sang Scott took advantage of playing near the edge of the stage. The floor was alive with people moving around and getting into the song. Similar to "Cha!" Said the Kitty on Friday night, it was really cool to watch both Ryan and Joe play this song at the same time, following the same pattern simultaneously.
Eventually Gabe left the stage and Scott lead everyone in clapping along. At one point, while the stage was bathed in red light, white lights quickly flashed on and off illuminating Scott, Ryan and Joe mimicking the intensity of the song. Towards the end, Gabe came back out. Holding onto the mic, rocking back and forth, he yelled into the mic again, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no" as Scott yelled along with him. As Ryan and Joe were killing it with their both larger than life arm swings repeatedly hitting the drums, Scott was moving in the same up and down motion headbanging right along with them. It was pretty cool to see them in unison like that. Eventually Scott dropped to his knees, and even bent the microphone down to be at his level as he yelled and ferociously played his guitar. He stood back up, played a bit more, then took off his guitar and turned around and went to the edge of the stage to crowd surf. The fans all gathered together to move him to the back of the floor. He didn't attempt to try and get into the balcony again. Joe brought his son on stage and again they tossed drum sticks into the crowd.
To quote a line from the first song of the night, "Let's hear it for the rock & roll." Let's hear it indeed! With two mind-blowing, crushing shows, not to mention the phenomenal acoustic set, Local H left their mark, once again, on the Chicago crowd. Local H start their national tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of As Good As Dead April 29 in Ferndale, MI. Find all dates and ticket links here. Get out there and support the band!

Journalists, at least the good ones, have a certain impression of themselves. It is informed by one hundred Hollywood movies in which the enterprising writer, with his shirt slightly untucked and his tie askew, risks it all to get the scoop. Within the limited world of Journalism Drama, there is no direct analog to the detective who must be suspended without pay before he can make a breakthrough on his case, but that doesn't stop the impression of the virtuous cyber-newspaperman from flowering.
Nevertheless, like the Secret Service agents whose well co-ordinated plans go straight out of the window the moment that a shot is fired, it is fair to say that when the issue has anything to do with gun control the press loses all sense of perspective and discipline. Today was a perfect example. It was just too damn tempting to link the unconfirmed shooting to the other major story of the day, the fight over the continuing resolution — and, eventually, to the debt ceiling. And that is exactly what happened. Nobody could wait for the facts. Someone had tried to "ram" the White House; then somebody had opened fire on cops; then maybe not, but this must have something to do with the debate, right? No circumspection, no calm reporting of what was known, just unalloyed fear and collective panic.
The New York Times apaprently thought that the incident, which turns out not to have been a "shooting" at all, was a reaction to the political impasse – willing, perhaps, as the new Wilsonians do, for the American system to break down into the violence that presidential democracies in all other countries sadly have:
Fiscal Crisis: Reports of Shooter Outside Capitol http://t.co/rKed1iE8mg
— The New York Times (@nytimes) October 3, 2013
Meanwhile, as John Ekdahl has documented on Twitter, the usual suspects lined up to blame the NRA.
Honestly, is there any time during which the media is so happy to report unconfirmed nonsense as in the midst of an active shooting? I suspect not.

The Fairy Wand is the most powerful vibrator for women. This powerful and famous vibrator is well-known for its capacity to bring every woman to a climax. Many small vibrators that are described as powerful often have a high vibration frequency. They give off many vibrations per minute, but the sensation is not very powerful. The Fairy Wand is a vibrator that really delivers!
What makes it even better: with a special attachment, the Fairy Wand can be used as a male vibrator. This way you can enjoy it both!
The Fairy Wand has become legendary. Thanks to its usage in the TV series "Sex and the City", almost every woman now owns a Fairy Wand. And deservedly so, its vibration powers are unmatched. For most people, the maximum position is more than they can take!
The real Fairy Wand:
There are many imitations of the Fairy Wand: the Hitachi Magic Wand, the Bodywand, and scores of other products based on the Fairy Wand. We recommend buying the real Fairy Wand. Not only is more quiet, it also comes with a lot of attachments. Because we have been selling the Fairy Wand for over 5 years, we can offer it to you at a good price, with good service and a guarantee.
Fairy Wand Characteristics:
The Fairy Wand is infinitely adjustable; you can set your own speed and are not limited to a number of fixed settings. With the wheel you can control the intensity very precisely, which is highly appreciated by many women. A vibrator that jumps from one position to the next can be disappointing when you're trying to reach your orgasm.
Power Cord:
The Fairy Wand does not use batteries. Instead, it can be directly connected to a wall outlet. It uses 220 V, and despite its power it is relatively quiet. The Fairy Wand has a 2 m cable, so it does not restrict your movements.
The Fairy Wand is 33 cm long; its head has a 5 cm diameter and is a bit flexible. There are numerous attachments that fit on the head. For the man, there is the Chin Buru, which fits snugly on top of the Fairy. This attachment will stimulate your penis in a way you have never experienced before!

Closing arguments in New Jersey's latest Vioxx trial start Tuesday as lawyers on Monday wrangled over jury instructions.
They also discussed the verdict sheet. This will be the first time that the jury will be asked whether Merck failed to warn individual patients that evidence showed its blockbuster painkiller increased risk of heart attacks. In the other Vioxx trials juries instead have ruled on whether Merck failed to warn doctors of the risk.
Judge Carol Higbee made the ruling because Merck ran broadcast and print ads directly targeting patients.
The jury will vote separately on whether Merck failed to warn doctors and whether it failed to warn patients. Jurors will only have to vote yes on one of those questions to be allowed to consider whether Vioxx caused Doherty's heart attack and whether she should be awarded damages.

More than 50 years and going strong
Moffat County Cowbelles promote beef
Craig — Beef promotion has been the goal of the Moffat County Cowbelles for more than 50 years.
Exactly how old the organization is remains uncertain because many early records have been lost, but bylaws date back to 1954, and a news article from a 1952 Craig Empire Courier hints that meetings were being held back then.
The Moffat County Cowbelles organization got its start one year when the Moffat County Cattlemen held its annual meeting. The men met at the Craig Courthouse, and their wives met at Moffat County High School, now the Middle School. At that first organizational meeting, Winifred (Winnie) Mock was elected president. Her husband, Elbert, was president of the Moffat County Cattlemen at the same time.
Members came from all parts of Moffat County, including Craig, Maybell, Lay and Hamilton. It's not known just how many members were in the organization during those early years, but secretary books from the 1960s show membership to have been as high as 67.
Some years later, the Maybell women formed a Cowbelles organization of their own. Dollie Frentress remembers that it was known as Northwest Colorado Cowbelles.
Dollie once was president of the organization. After it was "retired," Dollie joined the Moffat County group, was president and still is an active member.
In earlier days, the Moffat Cowbelles assisted the Cattlemen with their promotional activities. The members put up "Eat Beef" messages in restaurants and convinced grocery stores to put special stickers on their meat packages. The women gave out beef certificates for special occasions, such as Father's Day.
The Cowbelles members set up promotional booths in stores. They gave prizes for leathercraft projects done by county youngsters and even donated a heifer calf to a young person who cared for the animal and brought it back to the Moffat County Fair.
To make money for their beef promotion projects, the Cowbelles put together and sold brand napkins and calendars, and once raffled off a brand quilt. They served food at auctions, too.
The Cowbelles also helped the Cattlemen by organizing and decorating for the annual Cattlemen's Banquet. They also entertained the wives of visiting legislators and Colorado Cattlemen.
In recent years, the Cowbelles have continued with the beef promotion projects. They still sell brand napkins and also brand placemats and throws. However, the emphasis of their promotional activities is on education about agriculture in general.
Today, Moffat Cowbelles can be found in elementary school classrooms, making presentations about such topics as nature's cycles, stewardship of the land, agriculture products and by-products, their heritage, and a lot more.
The biggest project for the Cowbelles is the annual Ag-Day, held each May for Moffat County fourth-graders.
"You Just Can't Have an Ag-less Day in Moffat County" is the theme for the daylong event, put on by the Moffat Cowbelles, community volunteers and 4-H and FFA members.
The Moffat Cowbelles membership currently is about 16.
Officers for the 2007 year were Florence Van Tassel, president; Dollie Frentress, vice-president; Arloa Gerber, secretary; and Mary Ryan, treasurer.
At their biannual meeting Nov. 9, the Moffat Cowbelles discussed beef promotion activities for 2008. Officers elected for 2008, to be installed in December, are Arloa Gerber, president; Dollie Frentress, vice-president; Vivian Murray, secretary; and Mary Ryan, treasurer.

March has come and gone, which means that somehow three months have already passed since we began this whole Meatless Monday endeavor -- I've eaten a lot of vegetarian meals over the past hundred or so days, some memorably delicious, others notably terrible, as well as some not worth mentioning. This past week I had a spicy Asian BBQ flatbread from Ft. Worth-based food truck Good Karma Kitchen that was pretty good, but I don't especially feel the need to wax poetic about it. Just another notch on the old tofu belt.
Instead, I'm exploring the ways that Meatless Monday has changed how I eat Tuesday through Sunday, and devising my plan of attack for the next three months and beyond.
Besides restricting my meat intake once a week, this whole thing has made me more discerning about the meat I consume during the other six days of the week. When it comes to steak or a burger, I'll eat half and take the rest home, stretching what used to be one meal into two, and filling it out with vegetables or grains. Even something as simple as making a sandwich is a little different now: instead of piling on an inch-thick layer of prosciutto, I'll put three handkerchief-thin slices on, and bulk it up with more tomato and arugula. I'm more likely to order a vegetarian main like risotto or falafel with hummus, instead of feeling like I've gotta have meat to make it a full meal.

Now before you all think I'm up on some Mark Bittman-inspired high horse, allow me to admit the following: I still consume bacon on the regular, despite the fact that it will probably kill me (it's a toss up as to which will give me cancer first, eating processed meats or talking on my cell phone while staring into the microwave). There's almost always a selection of charcuterie in my fridge, and I eat bone marrow whenever the opportunity presents itself. I still love the shit outta meat; I'm just trying to be more mindful of where it comes from and the effect my consumption has on my body and the world around me.
My goals for the next quarter are as follows:
- Try cooking more meatless meals at home (e.g., something more elaborate than a grilled cheese sandwich) -- living with a guy whose diet closely resembles that of a T-Rex makes this more difficult than it sounds.
- Related to the first one, but: I now live within walking distance of the farmers market (for as long as it's still in business, at least), so now that we're in prime growing season I intend to go see what's good and then cook with it, to further embrace the whole local-seasonal movement that some of my favorite restaurants seem to live and die by.
- Challenge myself. I want to try my hand at a meat-free AND dairy-free Monday, since the production of dairy products puts just as much strain on natural resources as meat production, and I find myself relying heavily on eggs and cheese when meat isn't an option.
- Pony up the cash to occasionally buy some higher quality meats, e.g. free-range local chicken. I've been going the cheap route, and I'd like to put my money where my mouth is and support some local businesses rather than factory farms.
- Further familiarize myself with where my food comes by visiting a local farm that raises pastured meat. (I'm always shocked when people are disgusted by animals that still have a head or feet; hi, did you think your chicken nuggets grew on trees?)
- Stop torturing myself with tofu, because despite trying it in many different incarnations, I Fucking Hate It.

Vatican Shitty, Rome - Half a dozen toots up each nostril and the Deserter Pope Joseph Ratzinger made it to today's canonisation double act a newly envigorated man.
The 87 year-old former Nazi appeared in full Pontifical bling after a year's absence in exile following his 2013 enforced abdication on mental capacity grounds (he's nuts!).
A couple of incognito personal nurses hovered by the old rascal's side. constantly monitoring Ratzi's attempts to top up his nose powders from a specially designed pontifical cocaine ring.
"God willing he won't make a Nazi Sieg Heil! salute," one of the papal body guards whispered, "when walking past the portrait of his old SS chum Pope JP2."
The minders appeared to be under strict instructions to watch the daft old codger for signs of eccentric behavior judging by some poorly concealed electronic stun guns in their coat pockets, precautionary measures - maybe - should Papa Ratzi suddenly burst into song.
His last known rendition of Deutscheland, Deutschleand Uber Alles nearly frightened the shit out of the Dalai Llama.
Pope Frankie the Argie is a New York Mets fan.
