Brad Welcome To Discovery Park
By Frank Meyer, Contributing Editor
Tuesday, October 8, 2002 @ 1:37 PM
On "Drop It Down" the band get funky and dissonant all at the same time over a slacker anthem chorus. "Couch T-Bone" is a gorgeous, upbeat, '60s sounding ballad that could just as easily be off a Velvet Underground album as it could a Mentos commercial. It's that poppy and brilliant and kill-yourself-catchy. I love it. And speaking of the "L" word… Lenny Kravitz would LOVE "Never Let Each Other Down" and "Yes, You Are"… and boy do I wish Prince would write some ballads like this again. Sounds the closest to Brad's Shame out of everything here.But it ain't all love and heartbreak here kiddies, oh no, there's plenty of rock to be had. And goddamn, does "Revolution" bring the noise in a big, grand slamming Zeppelin-by-way-of-Brian-May kinda way. "Man this whole world just blows my brain away!!!" screams Smith over a guitar riff that Joe Perry would kill for these days. "La La La" is a quirky rock number that throws a touch a '80s new wave into a '60s garage rock beat that somehow sounds like an Abba meets T Rex-style rocker. Sound absolutely crazy? It is, and it works and it'll charm your little red socks off, girlie. Meanwhile, "All Is One" is big swirling storm of apocalyptic lyrics and 'verbed out guitar noise. The closing epic "Arrakis" is an epic prog-rock drone that recalls both Pink Floyd and Hawkwind. And I honestly can't remember the last time I said that!!! High, mighty, magic, fucked up, sad, lifting, swollen, hurt, bold, majestic, metallic…. If you listen close, it'll bring a smile to your fat little fucking face. If you listen closer, it'll bring a tear to that beautiful, sullen little pumpkin head of yours. So yes, Mr. Gossard can rest easy with the knowledge that he has quietly influenced a generation and still manages to fuck with your head once and awhile by way of Brad and his other non-Pearl Jam pets. Must be nice... * * * *

Your child has the option of purchasing meals from our catering providers Edwards & Ward on site in one of our dining halls.
You will need to be registered on ParentPay if your child wishes to purchase any items in the School's dining halls. Your child will NOT be able to purchase items in the dining halls without sufficient credit on their account and they will NOT be able to pay for items using cash or cheque at the time of purchase.
The meal function on ParentPay has been activated. You can purchase meal credit by logging onto your ParentPay account and clicking on the 'pay for 'child's name' meals'. You can add an amount between £2 and £250 and pay using your debit/credit card. Once you have paid for meal credit, you will see a 'Dinner money balance' next to the child's name. Please note, if you have more than one child at CFS, you will need to purchase credit for EACH of your children for them to be able to purchase meal items.
The School's caterers Edwards & Ward will be operating a three-week menu cycle for meals, which runs from week commencing 2nd September to October half term.
Primary Children
Primary children will only access the dining hall during lunch time, where there will be a choice of three meal items. The three-week menu cycle for Primary is below:
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
Children who fall into these year groups will continue to receive a free school meal under the Government's Universal Infant Free School Meal (UiFSM) programme. Parents will NOT have the option to purchase meal credit for these children on ParentPay.
If your child is returning to school in Year 3, you will now need to pay for meals for your child. If you think your child maybe eligible for Free School Meals, please ensure you apply in time for when they are going into Year 3. To check your eligibility, please click on the link here.
Years 3, 4, 5 & 6
All meals have a value of £2.30. So, if you want to add 10 days' meal credit to your child's account, then it will cost £23.
You do NOT need to book meals for specific days and there is flexibility for you to provide your child with a packed lunch on any day if you wish. The meal will only be charged to your ParentPay account on the day that your child takes it.
Primary children taking meals will be checked and logged by school staff in the dining hall. If your child is not in school (ill or on a trip for example) you do NOT need to let the catering company know.
Secondary Students
Secondary students will have access to the dining hall at break and at lunch time and will have the flexibility to purchase a variety of items including hot and cold meal deals as well as snack items and breakfast (at break time). The three-week menu cycle for Secondary and an example of the additional items with price tariff can be found below:
To avoid students spending large dinner money balances, the school has set a daily spending limit for each child of £8.
Dietary Requests
If your child has any medical dietary requests (medical evidence will need to be provided), please complete this form (if you have not already done so) and send directly to the Edwards & Ward email stated on the form. Please do NOT send this form to the school. This will allow Edwards and Ward to accommodate your child's needs.
Current Free School Meals (FSM) Children
If your child is currently entitled to Free School Meals, then they will receive a meal up to the daily allowance of £2.30. Parents of primary children entitled to FSM will not have the option of purchasing extra meal credit for your child. Parents of secondary children entitled to FSM can purchase extra meal credit if you wish your child to purchase additional items such as snacks. The £2.30 free meal daily amount cannot be rolled over to another day.
To check if you child is eligible for Free School Meals, click on the link here.
If you have not yet activated your ParentPay account
You will receive an activation letter for your child within the first week of them joining CFS. If you have not received/misplaced this letter, then please contact the school on: firstname.lastname@example.com and we will resend you the activation details.
If you do not have a debit/credit card
Please contact the school office so that we can issue you with an individual letter to enable you to pay with cash at your local PayPoint shop. The School will NOT be able to accept cash or cheque for school meals.
If your child does not meet the eligibility criteria for receiving free school meals OR your child does not have sufficient meal credit on their ParentPay account, then you will need to provide your child with a packed lunch.
Packed lunches
At Chichester Free School a lunchbox should ideally contain one of each of the following:
- Bread/Cereal - such as wraps; sandwiches; cold pasta; breadsticks and rice cakes.
- Meat/Fish and Alternatives - such as ham; tuna; eggs or houmous.
- Milk/Dairy - such as cheese spread/slices/cubes, hard boiled eggs, low sugar yoghurt.
- Fruit and Vegetables – such as fresh or dried fruits, vegetable sticks, salad in wraps.
- A treat if you wish - such as a small slice of cake or a biscuit.
- Drink – water or squash
- No nuts or fizzy/energy drinks
If you have any queries regarding the meal function on ParentPay (including increasing/decreasing your child's daily spending limit; credits and refunds), please contact Edwards and Ward (our new Catering Providers) directly on email@example.com. The School's Finance Office is not able to access any money which you have paid and allocated as meals.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Finance Office if you have any queries or need any other assistance setting up your ParentPay account.

It is a sport, in which competitors run, (or walk if they feel like it), around a course with the aid of a map and compass, against the clock. Except on novice courses, an important element is that the terrain presents a choice of route to reach each control point, thus presenting a mental as well as physical challenge.
A number of control points, the amount depending on the length of the course, are marked on the map. At each there is a marker flag, usually a Sport Ident (SI) dibber box or, perhaps, a traditional pin punch.
You punch or dib at the control point and move on to the next one in sequence
until you have completed the course and you reach the finish. Here you go to the download area to download the
data from your SI dibber.

Excuse the amount of running and reading posts of late. It's a pretty accurate description to what I have been doing. Coupled with a lingering cough, I have got through a fair few books! Including Scrappy Little Nobody, which was the perfect read for a day where I had no energy.
I found myself laughing quite a lot during this book, note to Anna – I think you are funny! I also had no idea she performed in Broadway growing up. Always recognised her from Pitch Perfect and numerous Kate Spade adverts.
Throughout the book, Anna talks about being a square, and how she likes to abide by the rules. What a breath of fresh air! Me too. Her stories of the behind scenes of award season is quite telling. It's obvious now, that post winning an award you want to run back to your table and be with your fellow actresses/actors from the film, not stuck in a hallway waiting for an oscar!
If you are going on holiday over Easter, this is a perfect easy read.

The much anticipated fabric collection "Briar Rose" has finally arrived. Briar Rose is Heather Ross' first collection of quilting cottons for Windham Fabrics. You may have heard of Heather when she shot to super stardom at Free Spirit. She continues to have a tremendous following and her previous fabric collections are highly sought-after collectibles. Briar Rose consists of 20 cotton prints and 4 cotton jersey prints. See the entire collection here.
The Rainbow quilt is the free project available as a kit. The colors fade in and out in a perfect mesmerizing rainbow. Using 6.5" squares this quilt can be whipped up it an afternoon.
This photo highlights the quilting done by longarm quilter Gail Suarez using a new quilt design "Avocado" which mimics the whimsical nature of the quilt.
Briar Rose will make great dresses and clothes for little girls. It's also available in cotton jersey in 4 patterns. How cute are these leggings?
An impromptu make-up pouch I made using scraps left over from the quilt.
Close up of the pond frog print, I loved it so much that I made a skirt for myself.
I met up with Heather Ross at one of her book signings. Of course it was the perfect opportunity to wear my frog skirt. The skirt is just a 22" cut of fabric by the width of fabric 43" stitched on the side with an added elastic waist. So easy.

Published in the Lancet Global Health co-authored by MIA president and surgeon, Karolynn Echols, MD.
This piece constitutes a relevant contribution to the ongoing discourse on how to overcome complex surical problems encountered in many low-income countries – the kind that will be forefront of the global health community's 2014 agenda. This work also integrates the existing evidence into our management of surgical candidates for fistula surgery who are also infected with worms and constitutes a triumph in bridging the low-income-high-income country and non-governmental organization-governmental organizations.

Not all guns suit everyone perfectly. But there is a perfect Browning shotgun for you.

With 50-pack Face-Shield Lung Bags, nylon carrying case and detachable shoulder strap.
Ultralite Manikins 4-pack features:
Prestan is pleased to offer our newest and most portable manikin, the Ultralite Manikin.

This durable manikin offers an affordable tool for CPR training, with all the quality and realism you expect from Prestan.

Can you use a Pocket Mask with the new Prestan Professional Manikin?
The pliable face skin on the Prestan Professional Manikin makes it ideal for use with a Pocket Mask.
Can you use a Pocket Mask with a BVM on the new Prestan Professional Manikin?
You can use either a Pocket Mask alone or a Pocket Mask with a BVM on the Prestan Professional Manikin.
What is the purpose of the black felt dots that come with the manikin?
The felt dots are backed with adhesive and may be applied to the four corners of the manikin's underside. This will help to prevent the manikin from sliding when administering CPR on a smooth floor surface.
The CPR Rate Monitor lights on my adult/child manikin are not working properly.
There are a few things to check when your monitor lights are malfunctioning:
1. Make sure you are compressing fully, you should hear the clicker when fully compressed.
2. Replace batteries and recheck. Two AA batteries are installed in the battery compartment behind the left shoulder of the manikin.
3. The clicker, which drives the monitor lights, may be malfunctioning. Contact your distributor or Prestan for a replacement clicker.
How much does the Ultralite weigh?
The Prestan Ultralite Manikin bag, holding parts for 4 complete Ultralite manikins, weighs just 13 pounds (approximately 3 pounds per individual manikin). Shipping weight is 14.6 pounds.
My Ultralite Manikin gets jammed up when giving compressions.
The Ultralite is specifically designed to promote proper hand position. If you are having problems, please check that your hands are in the proper place and your compression angle is from directly above.
My Ultralite Manikin slides on the floor when doing compressions.
If you are using your Ultralite Manikin on bare floor, it will help to place a mat or piece of carpeting underneath your manikin to prevent sliding (and cushion knees!).
Some of the spokes popped out of the chest.
Simply unscrew the three screws on the chest plate, remove the top half of the chest plate and reset the spokes, replace the top half of the chest plate.
AED Trainer
The trainer scenario doesn't advance past "put pads on the manikin".
Prestan training pads have a unique and patented sensing system. Be sure that the sensor, the round white disk in the center of the training pad's adhesive side, is firmly adhered to a surface.
How long will my pads last?
The adhesive on the back of Prestan Pads will last through approximately 50-60 applications. Remove and discard the plastic protective film from new pads and adhere the pads to the insides of the Pad Case between uses. This will extend the life of the adhesive.
What do I do when my pads no longer stick to the manikin?
AED Trainer Pads are a consumable item and are not covered under warranty. Replacement pads may be purchased from your distributor.
Will the pads work on a manikin that isn't Prestan?
Yes, the special adhesive works best on Prestan manikin skin, but it has been tested with other manikins and will work fine with most.
Will the Prestan Remote for the AED Trainer work with more than one AED Trainer?
The Prestan AED Trainer Remote will control all the AED Trainers within its signal range. The range extends from the remote in a "V" pattern, widening with distance. The depth of the range will vary, extending 10-20 feet away from the remote (a hard-surfaced floor will bounce the signal and may allow the depth of the range to extend 20 feet while a carpeted floor will absorb the signal, keeping the depth of the range closer to 10 feet).
There are no reviews yet.

A Manifesto From the Left Too Sensible to Ignore
By ROGER COHEN
Published: December 30, 2006
NEW YORK This has been a bleak year for nuanced thinking. President George W. Bush likes to speak in certainties; contrition and compromise are not his thing. Among hyper- ventilating left-liberals, hatred of Bush is so intense that rational argument usually goes out the window. The result is a mindless cacophony.
Bush, even after the thumping of the Republicans in November, equates criticism of the war in Iraq with defeatist weakness. Much of the left, in both Europe and the United States, is so convinced that the Iraq invasion was no more than an American grab for oil and military bases, it seems to have forgotten the myriad crimes of Saddam Hussein.
There appears to be little hope that Bush will ever abandon his with-us-or-against-us take on the post-9/11 world. Division is the president's adrenalin; he abhors shades of gray. Nor does it seem likely that the America-hating, over-the-top ranting of the left - the kind that equates Guantánamo with the Gulag and holds that the real threat to human rights comes from the White House rather than Al Qaeda - will abate during the Bush presidency.
This state of affairs is grave. The threat posed by Islamic fanaticism, inside and outside Iraq, requires the lucid analysis and informed disagreement of civilized minds. Bush's certainties are dangerous. But so is the moral equivalency of the left, the kind that during the Cold War could not see the crimes of communism, and now seems ready to equate the conservative leadership of a great democracy with dictatorship.
I am grateful to Niall Stanage, a Belfast-born, New-York based journalist, for pointing out to me in an e-mail that the leftist Respect coalition represented in the British Parliament by George Galloway had this to say about Iraq:
"The resistance in Iraq is engaged in a battle to liberate the country. The Iraqi resistance deserves the support of the international antiwar movement."
That's a call for the mass of European pacifists to back the beheading brigade, the child-bombers and other fundamentalist loonies who want to restore the Caliphate. A call made in the name of defeating what Galloway and his ilk see as the greater evil, the United States.
Fortunately, in the face of such hysteria, an expression of moderate sanity has emerged over the past year. Precisely because of its sanity, it has received too little attention.
I refer to the Euston Manifesto (www.eustonmanifesto.org), published last March by a group of mainly left-of-center thinkers, and the supporting statement called "American Liberalism and the Euston Manifesto," published by U.S. intellectuals in September.
These outlines of liberal principle - liberal in its best Enlightenment sense rather than in its debased Fox- News guise of insult - constitute a solid foundation for debate of Iraq and the struggle against terrorism that the White House now calls "The Long War."
The statements are signed by backers and opponents of the Iraq war who, despite their differences, are united by strong support for freedom of speech and ideas, democracy and pluralism, as well as by unqualified opposition to all forms of terrorism and totalitarianism.
The Euston Manifesto says: "We reject without qualification the anti-Americanism now infecting so much left-liberal (and some conservative) thinking."
It also declares: "Drawing the lesson of the disastrous history of left apologetics over the crimes of Stalinism and Maoism, as well as more recent exercises in the same vein (some of the reaction to the crimes of 9/11, the excuse making for suicide-terrorism, the disgraceful alliances lately set up inside the antiwar movement with illiberal theocrats), we reject the notion that there no opponents on the left."
It states: "We stand against all claims to a total - unquestionable or unquestioning - truth."
It supports a global "responsibility to protect" - the principle of armed intervention in a state where the slaughter and torture of citizens is rampant.
On Iraq, it has this to say: "We recognize that it was possible reasonably to disagree about the justification for the intervention, the manner in which it was carried through, the planning (or lack of it) for the aftermath, and the prospects for the successful implementation of democratic change. We are, however, united in our view about the reactionary, semi-fascist and murderous character of the Baathist regime in Iraq, and we recognize the overthrow as a liberation of the Iraqi people."
The proper concern of the left after Saddam's overthrow should have been "the battle to put in place in Iraq a democratic political order" rather than "picking through the rubble of the arguments over intervention."
The manifesto observes that: "The many left opponents of regime change in Iraq who have been unable to understand the considerations that led others on the left to support it, dishing out anathema and excommunication, more lately demanding apology or repentance, betray the democratic values they profess."
The American supporters of the manifesto, who include the historian Walter Laqueur, several journalists from The New Republic and Michael Ledeen of the conservative American Enterprise Institute, reject "the ossified and unproductive polarization of American politics."
They deplore the tendency on the left to substitute hatred of Bush for thought about fighting jihadism. Why, they ask, is the left more incensed by America's errors in Iraq than "terrorist outrages by Islamic extremists?"
They note: "In World War II and the Cold War, liberals, centrists and conservatives found moments of commonality. Indeed, if those efforts had been borne exclusively by the left or the right they very well might have failed."
Taken together, the two statements set out core principles of the Anglo-American liberal tradition, bringing Europe and the United States together at a time of apparent ideological divergence. As the U.S. signatories note, the Euston Manifesto hews to "the traditions of American liberal anti-fascism and anti-totalitarianism."
If you're tired of sterile screaming in the wilderness, tired of the comfortably ensconced "hindsighters" poring over every American error in Iraq, tired of facile anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism masquerading as anti- Zionism, try the Euston road in 2007. It might actually lead somewhere.

Oh wow. Where to start? Two weeks ago I went to Phoenix and helped my mom move here to CO. It was a long, hard week on us all. My family has been in that house close to 70 years and every square inch of it shows it. From the spices from Grandma that were never thrown away~she died in 1976 (GROSS!) to the handprints in the cement of me as a kid and my boys too as things were added on. That house was full of ghosts. Both my great uncle and aunt died in the living room in the same spot years apart. They were peaceful and watchful ghosts and it was hard to send them on their way. But is was time. We spent time visiting all the graves, even driving down to Ajo, AZ where I had my car checked and identity questioned by border patrol because seriously what is a good reason to give a border patrol guard for visiting Ajo?
I passed a digital sign at one point from my moms to my in laws that showed the temperature as 122 degrees. I only pray that was wrong. It felt it.
We attended a retirement party for my mom. Yes, at 81 she finally retired. I hope I have that kind of stamina at her age. I don't think I will though. I think that comes from a generation that fought so hard for everything. Lets face it, our generation is kinda wimpy. I am OK with that. Shoot, get me a rocking chair now!
Carter had an awesome birthday party thrown by Grandma with his cousins. It was so so wonderful to spend time with our family.
Things are still buzzing with school starting and doctors appointments and the mountains and mountains of boxes from AZ. But we are good. I am exhausted, we all are, but happy and that is all that matters.
Miss everyone!

Seneca Lake Watershed Management Plan
The FLI is part of a team composed of the Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council and Southern Tier Central Regional Planning and Development Board that is updating the Seneca Lake Watershed Management Plan.
In the summer of 2011, Research scientists at the Finger Lakes Institute at Hobart and William Smith Colleges worked on extensive sampling and data collection projects within the Seneca Lake watershed. Overseeing the study, HWS Professor Dr. John Halfman monitored water quality in Seneca Lake as well as four streams on the west side of the watershed while Dr. Meghan Brown, associate professor of biology at HWS, continued research on zooplankton ecology and invasive species in the lake. Dr. Susan Cushman, director of Introductory Biology Laboratories at HWS, collected samples from surrounding streams in order to document natural aquatic invertebrates and fish communities. Dr. Lisa Cleckner, director of the Finger Lakes Institute, analyzed fish and water samples for mercury and trace metals. The findings of this work and the implications for water quality throughout the watershed have been published in the watershed characterization report was presented and discussed at a March 5, 2011 meeting. The Project Advisory Committee & Seneca Lake Area Partners in five counties continues to create action items and an implementation strategy.

Announcement of New CVRR Coach
It is with great pleasure I announce our new CVRR coach, Neil Holm. Neil has a tremendous passion for training as those who have attended the pool running workouts will attest. Neil has agreed to start coaching Sept. 13.
We are very grateful for Darren Skuja services this past year and in previous years. We wish him well in his upcoming adventures.
Tuesday night track is held every Tuesday throughout the year at 5:10 pm. We meet at the Vanier Track (corner of Vanier and Headquarters Rds.). We lead out with dynamics (warm up) and then the work out gets under way at 5:30 pm. The session lasts about an hour with interval repeats totaling 5-6 km.conducted on the track in the winter and on the track, trails and roads the other months of the year. The only prerequisite is you should be able to run 5 km continuously. The distance can be modified for those wishing a shorter workout.
Workouts appear before Tuesday of each week on our web home page. For details on track see /tuesday-track.
We look forward to Neil's enthusiastic style and expect we will all have fun working towards the various goals we set for ourselves.
Roslyn Smith, President CVRR

|A Messenger from the Karstarks
The afternoon heat still comes up from the paving stones, though the sun is beginning to set. The Supper crowd it starting to drift in after work or practice, hoping for shade and something to quench a man's thirst after a hard day. Scattered amoung these are a core of all day drinkers, common to taverns of this sort, men who's best days are long behind with the red cheeks and noses of men trying to hard to forget how they got all those scars and aches.
Ser Malcolm strides in, with his flamboyant hair and his practice leathers, dusty from a hard practice at the tourney grounds. His big floofy destrier is tied up outside with an arrary of wooden practice weapons strapped on. Despite his rather outlandish appearance, the regulars don't goive him a second glance. Apparently the Twilight storm is a familiar sight and his growing reputation disinclines people to make trouble.
Siyu ahs a little and comes to get some beer and some food. He might cause a stri. The odd man from Yi Ti. Huang skin, round face, almond eyes. not to mention the pretty face, wide hips, and long hair. He is…well, he is most certainly foreign. He finds a place to sit and order food and drink however. Ale or cider. He glances at Malcolm. If everyone was as he in this place perhaps he will go unnoticed!
Dalt is drinking… Is that a lemon in his drink? Somehow he has a lemon in his drink. He is eating some stew substance, dipping bread in it repeatedly. He sort of sits quietly, alone in a corner table, watching the room. Being a new guy in town, he doesn't really have the friends yet. His shield with a Condor sigil is leaned against the table.

He sort of sits quietly, alone in a corner table, watching the room. Being a new guy in town, he doesn't really have the friends yet. His shield with a Condor sigil is leaned against the table.
Indeed, the tough men drinking here do notice the oddly dressed foreigner and there are a lot of looks and murmurs aimed in Siyu's direction, though no open hostility, at least not yet. Men want a drink and something substantial in their stomachs before picking a fight at the end of a long dusty day. The man with the Condor Sigil blends rather well with the professional guards and humbler knights that are particularly fond of this place, and so he is ignored by most but the server.
Ser Malcolm runs a hand through his striped locks and looks about to see if there are any familiar faces.
Right behind him stumbles in an exhausted looking man at arms with colour for a minor coastal house of the east Coast just South of the Gift. He looks road weary and two steps from dropping. He's a bandaged arm in a sling, and his hair looks like it was rough cut on that side with a not particularly sharp knife.
Siyu takes a deep breath and smiles, leaning back, ya no armor no weapons on him, he's just going exploring bars. Dressed in linens like a smith, smell faintly of jasmine and vanilla. He takes his ale and drinks it down though. Not going to cause trouble of none comes for him. Might in fact run from it…probably will in fact.
A Dornishman, likely a guard, sticks his nose into the tavern a moment to look around. He turns and shakes his head to someone outside. He mutters something but his barely-heard words are cut off by another voice, a female voice. "You worry too much. I'll be fine." she drawls in a Dornish accent. "They'll keep their hands off or they'll lose them. You know that." He shakes his head again in defeat and steps aside to allow a Dornish woman to enter. She is dark of hair, tall and lean, her robes too are dark. She steps one step to the left of the door and surveys the potential battlefield.
Dalt sits back a bit as he watches the various people come in, and finishes his stew. It's an interesting crowd this evening. The part-Dornishman has another sip of whatever that drink is with the lemon, and puts it on the table, his arm outstretched holding it. So far no one has bothered him.
Malcolm had turned to study the injured Northerner, and so is positioned to see the guard and the arrival of the Noble woman. The peculiarly quaffed knight sketches a deep and elegant bow to the Lady, eyes lowered respectfully.
The exhausted Northerner staggers deeper into the bar, clumsily bumping Dalt's table as he half trips over the shield.
Siyu blinks. Noble Dornish lady? Ya no, he slinks back against the wall, trying hard not to be seen. Hide in the shadows as best he can
Dalt stands up suddenly. He leaves the drink on the table, and moves, rather quickly, to attend to the injured northerner. He had apparently misinterpreted his injury. "Here, ser. Have a seat with me here. I thought for a second it was a practice injury. You look much worse for the wear, though." He pulls out one of the seats, to help the northerner down. "Can we get this man some water, please? And perhaps some stew. I'll pay for his meal. Do you have any cloth we can use as a bandage?" He starts to look the man over, to check his injuries. "Let's take a look here…"
"Wine." the lady says, raising her voice to be heard. "Get the man some wine. I will pay." comes her offer. Daena steps towards the injured man and the man assisting him. "What is his ill? Someone could be sent for a maester."
The Northerner looks rather relieved to not have yet another fight ahead of him. He gives Ser Dalt a rather embarrassed smile, "I've been riding hard for…I forget how long. Everything's a bit of a blur since I crossed the border into the Reach….." He has indeed reopened the wound on his arm, and up close there are half healed burn scars near his hairline on the injured side, likely the reason for the peculiar asymmetrical hair cut.
Seeing the Lady is distracted, Ser Malcolm straightens, "Shall I go, Lady Yronwood? I am happy to be of service."
A server stars to bring wine, thinks better of the vinegary swill and has the bartender pour from a better class of cask. The wounded Northerner drinks it gratefully. I was sent to bring word, but they hit us again as we rode south and I was lucky to escape with my life…."
Siyu just listens for the most part, doesn't offer. This is business of the Westrosi after all.
Dalt checks over the man's arm. "Burns? I take it these are invaders? Or perhaps bandits? Did they use fire arrows?" He looks around, "Where are your companions? Were they laid low during the ride?" He says, "Well, your injuries were sewn properly - though I'm not much good at sewing injuries - I tend to make them worse when I put a needle in them. I think we'd need a Maester for that. I can clean and dress the wound, though." He sees the server, "Take the wine from her, would you? Let's see if we can't at least give you temporary relief."
Daena turns a moment to look to the tall man with the odd hair. "You are a knight, ser, perhaps it would be best if you heard what this man has to say? Ah, and Lady Yronwood would be my mother, though the Martells would rather claim her. I am only Lady Daena. Still, send someone else to summon a sawbones if need be." A look back at the wounded man. "What's this? Bandits? Where did you ride from?"
Malcolm Ser Malcolm bows again and obeys the Lady, standing with a characteristic stillness. "My apologies, Lady Daena. you were so impressive in the saddle that you made a strong impression. I do believe you are right that my starks would be interested in hearing this, though My Lord Carolis is away in the North just now."
The northerner winces at the probing of his wonds, "We came upon them burning another village and did our best to fight them off. I was burned trying to pull a woman from a burning fisher hut. It is nothing. I was the only one well enough to ride on, so here I am, though this city is a confusing maze and I am not sure where to go or who to report to exactly." He drinks the water gratefully, followed by the wine. When he has his breath again, "We're not sure who they are. They don't look like Ibbanese though. Wild men they are, dressed in fur and leather with teeth filed to points They were taking the living and dead both with them back to their ships. We gave them enough of a fight that they left half behind. We'd no means of following and who knows where they will strike next. I'm from up Karhold way and serve the Karstarks."
Dalt hmms… Once the server brings him a damp cloth, Dalt begins to clean the wounds a bit. He awaits for them to bring a cloth fit to be a bandage, as he works, kneeling next to the man's seat as he works on the wound. "Well, this is a warrior's pub. It's as good a place as any. Knights, and war-like lords will frequent this place, as will fools like me who will want to ride forth to assist. You're a long way from home, though, if you come from the north. Surely there was help closer than Oldtown?"
The man says, "My Lord has sent to Winterfell, but Lord Stark and his bother were said to be here…."
Ser Malcolm breaks in then, "Lord Carolis road North some weeks ago as there was word come of possible trouble. He's been touring holdings. I will have a raven sent to inform him once I get a raven telling me where he is apt to be when the bird arrives. I fear Lord Stark's exact location is not known to me."
"Where was this, then?" Daena asks. "Surely not so far in the North? It must have been somewhere in the Reach… after all, you are as far from Karhold as you can possibly be and still be in the Seven Kingdoms. You would have ridden to White Harbor or The Twins or even King's Landing than here if the raiders has been in the far north."
Dalt tightens the bandage a bit, trying to keep the wound straight. "Well, I think I can keep the wound straight until a Maester can re-sew some of the points. That should keep it from scarring too badly. The burns are a little looser to cover. Wash them with cool water when you can. Some types of wine, I've heard can help clean the burns, but I can't recall which. I know some of the stronger spirits are usable as well." He works on finishing the wrapping. "Surely someone in Lord Stark's House is here. Will the Starks be needing assistance? It's my duty to assist if it's needed."
The Northerner shakes his head, "My Lord sent ravens, but Lord Stark appreciates a first hand account, and I was amoung those on coastal watch when the first survivors straggled in after the first burning. I don't know how many were attacked since my Lord sent me South. I was injured just North of the Neck. Some of the Local Lord's men came in the aftermath and bound up my wounds. I road relays all the way south from there only resting when I started to fall."
Ser Malcolm answers Ser Dalt, "Lord Andolin Stark is in residence and I think the Lady Hellan, though she keeps much to herself and is often visiting her kinswoman. They can be found at Weirood Manse. You can't miss it. It's the Oldest Manse in Old Town and the style is unique.
"The Hightowers will want to know if there are raiders or bandits in the Reach so they can pass this disturbing news on to Highgarden." the Yronwood lady says with confidence. "I would expect that the Redwynes and even the Daynes at Starfall would want to know these sorts of things in case these raiders came Dorne's way." She still hasn't quite realized that he actually is talking about having ridden across the entire continent to deliver a first-hand account to Lord Stark.

Two-time Olympian Daniel Cormier (2-0 MMA, 2-0 SF) looks to return to the Strikeforce cage in August against an opponent yet to be determined, and the former wrestler says he and the promotion will likely visit an untapped hotbed of mixed martial arts.
While Strikeforce officials have yet to announced any August dates, Cormier today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that he's expecting to fight in Phoenix.
The undefeated prospect would likely feature on a yet-to-be-announced Challengers Series events, tentatively title Strikeforce Challengers 10, as Strikeforce is reportedly set to air an Arena Series event in August from Houston.
The state of Arizona has been largely ignored by mixed martial arts' biggest promotions despite a history of support of the sport with the long-running Rage in the Cage promotion. The state also houses one of the nation's top training camps in Arizona Combat Sports.
Several UFC fighters are also graduates of the famed Arizona State University wrestling program. Current fighters Ryan Bader, C.B. Dollaway, Aaron Simpson and Cain Velasquez also wrestled for the Sun Devils, while Strikeforce star Dan Henderson and UFC legends Don Frye and Dan Severn also spent time at the school.
Cormier made his professional MMA debut on the Showtime-televised portion of this past September's "Strikeforce Challengers 3: Kennedy vs. Cummings" event. Cormier earned a second-round TKO over fellow MMA rookie Gary Frazier. Cormier followed up that performance with a first-round TKO over John Devine at "Strikeforce Challengers 7: Johnson vs. Mahe" in March.
Prior to his involvement in MMA, Cormier was a three-time state high school champion wrestler, a two-time junior-college champ at Colby Community College, and an NCAA Division I national runner-up at Oklahoma State University. Among his many post-college accomplishments are a spot on the 2004 U.S. Olympic team and an appointment as the 2008 Olympic team's captain.

Lara Croft Teams Up With Gods in Download-Only Arcade Title
Lara Croft is raiding even more tombs at this year's E3. In addition to the next-gen adventure announced, she'll also return in a top-down adventure game called Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris.
The Temple of Osiris is a sequel to the popular Tomb Raider spinoff game Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, which was released as a download-only title in 2010. The co-op game allowed players to explore temples and battle enemies in top-down, twin-stick shooter style, varying in style and tone from the main series. Since its release, developer Crystal Dynamics said fans have been clamoring for a sequel.
See also: Nintendo's King Boo Terrorizes E3
The Temple of Osiris expands on that idea, expanding the co-op to four players. The game focuses on Lara's travels to Egypt, where she and a rival archeologist Carter Bell are in search for the staff of Egyptian god Osiris. When Carter grabs the staff, it triggers a trap, sealing them in the temple. It also wakes Osiris' two children, Horus and Isis, who join you on your quest, and his ancient rival Set, who split Osiris into several pieces and stole his power.
Much like the first game, players must work together to solve puzzles, as each has their own unique abilities. They'll need to use them to cross chasms, solve puzzle rooms and move through obstacles, and of course blast their way through monsters awoken by Set.
The hands-on we played felt like an action movie, especially with a climactic scene where the four players were running across a crumbling bridge away from a giant alligator demon. The team from Crystal Dynamics, the game's developer, said because it was an arcade, download-only title, they could play with a lot more cartoony, fantastic ideas and impose giant monsters on Lara and her friends.
The characters collect treasures — Egyptian rings and amulets — to upgrade their skills, and each offers a stat boost that comes with a tradeoff. There are also new weapons to find throughout the game as well, much like the previous title.
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris will be coming to next-gen consoles "very soon," though there is no specific price or release date.
Another game starring Lara was also announced at E3: Rise of the Tomb Raider. But beyond a trailer shown during the Xbox Media Briefing on Monday, no other details have been announced for the game, a sequel to last year's franchise reboot. It is due out next year.

|You would have done the same, to save the ones you love...
|~ -Uberto speaking about the executions.
Uberto Alberti (1416 — 1476) is a major antagonist from the video game Assassin's Creed II serving as the main antagonist of sequence 1 and 2. He was the gonfaloniere of Firenze, and a family friend of the Auditores and Lorenzo de Medici's ally during Assassin's Creed II. However, he betrayed the Auditore family by ordering an arrest on Federico, Petruccio and Giovanni Auditore. He did this by order of Rodrigo Borgia. His family was evicted by the Medici bank and he wanted revenge. He got the opportunity by working together with the Templars. He was also considered one of the best lawyers in the Italian Renaissance, even though he was self-taught.
He was voiced by Michel Perron.
Ezio meets Uberto for the first time in Giovanni's office speaking about something urgent, but Ezio gets sent away before he can understand what his father and Uberto are talking about.
When Ezio's father and brothers get arrested, he needs to deliver a letter to Uberto which contains evidence of a conspiracy. He does so, and Uberto tells Ezio that everything will be allright. The next day, at the trial, he accuses Ezio's family of betrayal. Giovanni reminds him of the evidence that was delivered by Ezio, but Uberto claims he did not receive any evidence, and he sentenced Ezio's family to death.
Ezio needs to flee the execution plaza, being chased by many guards. He goes to Paola, the leader of the courtesans, who teaches him how to survive, and he then tracks Uberto down. Ezio follows Uberto to the Santa Croce cloister where he is attending an art exhibition.
He can be seen speaking with Lorenzo about the executions and he insults Lorenzo. Ezio runs up to him, and before Uberto can call the guards, he is stabbed in his chest five times, by Ezio's hidden blade.

Are your sure you would like to delete this favorited item from your dashboard?
Common spaces like the student union, campus cafeteria and residence hall lounge, have evolved and diversified in response to new student behaviours and priorities—as well as the expectations of students' families. As a result, the design of these hubs of activity must now serve a wider range of programming needs than ever before. Furniture should offer a high level of function, as well as a design language and finish and textile options that add up to attractive, dynamic settings that express the quality and vitality of campus life.
Student lounges are social spaces that merge student life and academic pursuits. Furniture may include low-back chairs that make it easy for students to interact and engage, while ottomans, benches and low-profile modular pieces contribute to a relaxed atmosphere that sparks connection and conversation in an open setting. Lounge seating can be combined with a variety of tables and chairs for play or study in the student union, a residence hall or other common space. Cafe tables offer a place to perch with a snack or a laptop, desks paired with task chairs are suitable for long stretches of study alone or with a partner and single-sided tables provide a place for students to charge a personal device or text a friend.
Cafés, coffee bars, small kitchens and snack areas are often scattered across the campus from the student union to the library and athletic facilities. Durable furniture is a primary consideration. Where a café welcomes parents, alumni and campus visitors, as well as students and faculty, comfort and aesthetics are critical in order to project an impression of quality. Finishes and textiles in colors and patterns that retain their integrity with heavy use create an attractive space for lunching with colleagues or visiting family members. In terms of efficiency and flexibility, modular cabinets and lightweight tables and chairs that can be easily re-arranged as well as cleaned, stacked and stored are essential.
Spaces once considered transitional—hallways, lobbies, atriums—are ideal for mentoring, study or socializing. A long workbench can anchor a large space, and when equipped with access to data/power, the bench becomes a magnet for students who want to charge a device, complete homework before class or huddle with their project team. As an alternative, extended lounge seating yields a different dynamic, but still acts as a natural place to gather. Juxtaposed high-back lounge seating offers a cocoon for one or two. Ideally, a variety of furniture provides a range of choices, postures and degrees of privacy, while preserving pathways that maintain free circulation throughout the space.

MAC Current Favorites
It is officially Christmas eve y'all! So I decided to get this post up as soon as I could to show you guys some of my MAC favorites. It might serve as an inspiration on what makeup to wear during a Christmas party, or New Year party or any such event you might be going to in the upcoming days. Recently, I added a couple of things to my MAC collection. Considering that it was my 23rd birthday just a couple days ago, I thought I could treat myself to one or two things from MAC. So, jumping to it, let me share with you some of my MAC current favorites.
- MAC Prep+Prime Fix Plus
If there has to be one must have product from MAC, then it's their fix plus finishing spray. This product mainly consists of water. So you might be wondering, why would you spend top dollar to buy a water mist? My friends, this is a magical water mist. I believe it has glycerin in it which helps soothe and soften your skin and give it the perfect glow. I love using this after I have finished my entire face of makeup. It finishes off your makeup beautifully, melts everything together so that your face looks like one big airbrushed canvas. If you struggle with makeup looking cakey on your face, this is your savior. I cannot rave enough about this product. I've heard that it now comes in a few different fragrances as well. You go MAC!
Miscellaneous: Available online or at Macy's. Price point is $22.00 for the full size.
- MAC Lipsticks
This would not be a MAC favorites post if I didn't mention their iconic lipsticks. Currently I have four color options for you ranging from nudes to mauves to pinks. And if you're patient enough, there will be a red option coming up next. So, in the picture above from left to right, I have:
Craving: A pinkish plum with an amplified finish
Whirl: A dirty rose with a matte finish
Twig: A soft muted brownish pink with a satin finish
Impassioned: An amped up fushcia with an amplified finish
These descriptions of the shades are straight from their website and could not be more accurate. I absolutely love their lipsticks. Everything from the color range to their different formulas are perfect. I do have one concern though. Everyone raves about how long lasting MAC lipsticks are and I just don't agree. Some of the MAC lipsticks wear off on me in a short amount of time. I don't necessarily always wear lip liner underneath them so maybe that's the problem. Even then, I think that if you're paying big bucks for a tube of lipstick it better deliver. In any case, I love the lipsticks and I'm going to keep building my collection.
Miscellaneous: Price point is $17.00 each
Bottom to Top: Craving, Whirl, Twig, Impassioned. Swatched in natural light
- MAC Lip Pencil
Remember when I said some of the MAC lipsticks are not as long lasting as I'd like them to be? Well, the lip pencils are a brilliant solution to that problem. Their original wooden lip pencils are sooo creamy, pigmented and long lasting. They are super easy to apply-they don't drag on your lips nor do they dry out your lips. And the best part is, they are so comfortable to wear, you don't feel like you're wearing any heavy layers on your lips. I absolutely love these. There are some shades like Whirl, which are available in both lipstick and lip pencil form. I would, hands down, spend the money on the lip pencil if I only had to choose between the two. I will insert a picture below in which I've used the lip pencil in the shade Auburn. It is a beautiful dirty brick red and could be a great option for a Christmas lippie.
Miscellaneous: Price point is $16.50
Face: Maybelline BB Cream, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, MAC Fix Plus.
Eyes: Morphe 350W Palette
Lips: MAC Auburn Lip Pencil
Hope you enjoyed this quick post and maybe some of you found it helpful! I hope you have an amazing Christmas, a fantastic New Year and I'll see you next year!
Much Love,

According to Evidence based medicine (EBM), rhinoceros horn or Xi Jiao has no medicinal value at all. This conclusion is almost completely opposite to what traditional medicine professed about this herb. That's to say, it has been scientifically proven ineffective no matter it is used as an aphrodisiac or a drug for fever and convulsions. In addition, rhino horn is not non-substitutable either even in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In fact, the related entries had been officially removed from The Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (PPRC) since 1993. It means this herb goes away completely from then on. The following conclusion on this herb from the perspective of the self-organizing system TCM might also be outdated and offending. However, the words below don't mean to be offensive to anyone since this is more an academic discussion among TCM practitioners. So, please take them with a pinch of salt if you feel that way.
Medicinally rhinoceros horn, also known as Xi Jiao, comes from both Asian and African rhinoceros. Traditionally the Asian one is believed with a higher medicinal value. As a Chinese herb with an extremely cold property, it was once considered as one of the few lifesaving drugs people suffering from severe fever could rely on. As you know, even now lack of medical technology is ubiquitous throughout all poor countries, let alone in ancient China. Statistically, there are a lot of old herbal prescriptions containing this herb, which reflects in part that the population of rhino was really large then. Unfortunately, poaching rhinos has essentially made it an endangered species today. To save endangered rhinos and alleviate the shortage, buffalo horns have been used as its substitute since the 1990s.
What is rhinoceros horn?
It refers to the horns of Rhinoceros unicornis L., R. sondaicus Desmarest, R. sumatrensis Cuvier, R. bicornis L., R. simus Cottoni and other species in the family Rhinocerotidae. When consumed in a medicinal manner it should be split, soaked in hot water, taken out, sliced with a special knife, and dried. In addition, it is often used in the form of powder as well.
When it comes to medicinal rhinoceros horns, they are commonly referred to as the horns from Asian rhinoceros. They are characterized by smaller size (all of them are at 30cm long or so), oval chassis (like a watermelon seed or turtle back, slightly narrower at one end and slightly wider at another end), "bamboo pattern" on longitudinal section, "millet grain pattern" on cross-section, and faint scent. But their weights range from 0.5 to 10kg.
Main chemical constituents are keratin. Besides, it still contains other proteins, peptides and free amino acids, guanidine derivatives, sterols and the like. Among the amino acid composition of keratin, cystine accounts for 8.7%. 3 kinds of basic amino acids are histidine, lysine, and arginine.
Rhinoceros horn benefits
It is an age-old medicine for people who live throughout the Middle East and the Far East. There it is hailed as a "panacea" for vomiting, chicken pox and other diseases. In the Middle East, rhino horn is conventional item for a young lad's decoration and self-defense weapon. Allegedly, rhinoceros horn price there is staggering, e.g. a pretty dagger made of it is worth twelve thousand U.S. dollars there. It is also one of major causes why rhinos are endangered. For that reason, in the past century many types of rhinos, black or white, have been hunted extensively. It is said that now only 20 R. sondaicus Desmarest survive worldwide.
Even though now it is not used as a medicine any more. Knowing a bit more about the medical facts about rhinos can be good for you. From the perspective of Chinese herbal medicine, it works wonders for all blood poisoning diseases, e.g. blood-poisoning induced skin diseases like psoriasis. What's more, less anti-virus blood cells may lead to the occurrence of cancer. Thus it can be seen that toxic in the blood is terrible. As mentioned above, this is a keratin-like substance and a derivative of hair substances, containing keratin, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, tyrosine, and the like. Hence,it is often carved into rhinoceros horn cup by artisans in order to let its medicinal ingredient dissolve into the wine. By doing so, it can help cure diseases and improve health.
However, what calls for special attention is that it has been proven by many modern researches that it has no anti-cancer properties at all.
Modern pharmacological actions
1) An impact on heart and blood vessels. Its water decoction has cardiotonic effect on normal or feeble isolated heart of toads and rabbits. And it initially increases, then decreases, finally continues increasing the blood pressure of dogs and rabbits. This change may be the result of combined efforts of heart and blood vessels. In addition, it first contracts briefly and then expands the lower extremity perfusion in toads;
2) Antipyretic effects. Both rhinoceros and buffalo horns show no antipyretic effects to E. coli induced fever in rabbits. Similarly, buffalo horn injection and suspensions have no obvious antipyretic effect to milk-induced fever in rabbits;
3) Other effects. Trotter's nail and horn of rhinoceros, cow, and sheep have excitatory effect to isolated intestines of rabbit. And they initially reduce the total number of white blood cells in rabbits and then give a sharp rise. Besides, they show no inhibition to Staphylococcus, in vivo and in vitro;
4) From the preliminary test results of isolated heart, isolated intestine, rabbit blood pressure, fever reduction, blood picture, inhibition of the growth of bacteria, some people draw the conclusion that all of items mentioned above basically play a similar role medicinally;
5) After soaked and boiled with saline, it first shows a brief inhibition and then an excitatory effect on isolated frog heart, featuring increased amplitude but nearly unchanged heart rate. The intravenous injection in rabbits can cause rise in blood pressure, vasodilation in ear, excitement to isolated rabbit intestine and uterus, reduction to E. coli induced fever, and slight mydriasis. 0.5 ml intravenous injection of 30% in mice could cause spasms, irregular breathing, and proptosis. But the above symptoms will disappear within 5 minutes, followed by up to 5 – 6 hours of sleep.
Sample rhino's horn recipes on herbal remedies
"The National Herbal Compendium" believes that it is bitter, sour, and salty in flavor and cold in nature. Vital functions are removing heat to cool blood, relieve internal heat, and arresting convulsion. Essential rhinoceros horn uses and indications include fever-induced coma, delirium, rash, vomiting, and epistaxis. Recommended dosage is from 3 to 6 Fen in juice and powder or from 0.5 to 2 Qian in decoction.
1) Shen Xi Dan from Wen Re Jing Wei (Compendium of Epidemic Febrile Diseases). It is formulated with (aconite), Shi Chang Pu (Acorus Gramineus), Huang Qin (Scutellaria), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia Glutinosa), Jin Yin Hua (Honeysuckle Flower), Lian Qiao (Forsythia), etc. to treat summer epidemics caused by warm and hot pathogens, spasms, mania, delirium, spots, and so on;
2) Qing Gong Tang from Wen Bing Tiao Bian (Detailed Analysis of Warm Diseases). It is combined with Xuan Shen (Scrophularia), Lian Xin (Lotus Plumule), Zhu Ye (Folium Bambusae), etc. to cure Taiyin febrile syndrome, coma and delirium;
3) Xi Jiao San from Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang (Taiping Holy Prescriptions for Universal Relief). It is matched with Yin Chen Hao (Herba Artemisiae Scopariae), Scutellaria, Zhi Zi (Gardenia), Sheng Ma (Cimicifuga), and Mang Xiao (Glauber's Salt) to heal fulminant jaundice, irritability and fidget, and red painful eyes;
4) Xi Jiao Di Huang Tang from Qian Jin Fang (Thousand golden essential prescriptions). It is joined with Rehmannia, Shao Yao (Peony Root), and Mu Dan Pi (Tree Peony) to treat typhoid fever and febrile disease, blood amassment, epistaxis, vomiting blood, blood stasis inside, yellowish complexion, and black stool;
5) Xi Jiao Xiao Du Yin from Qi Fang Lei Bian (Collections of Incredible Prescriptions). It is equipped with Niu Bang Zi (Burdock), Jing Jie (Schizonepeta), Fang Feng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Scutellaria, and Gan Cao (licorice root), to heal infantile erysipelas.
Rhinoceros horn side effects and contraindications
Lei Gong Pao Zhi Lun (Lei's Treatise on Processing of Drugs) says that rhinoceros horn should not be taken by pregnant women; the Ben Cao Jing Ji Zhu (Collection of Commentaries on the Classic of the Materia Medica) says that it dislikes stone-like omphalia; Ben Cao Gang Mu (The Compendium of Materia Medica) says that it dislikes aconite; Ben Cao Jing Shu (Classic Theory of Materia Medica) says that it shouldn't be used in cases of restlessness in Yin syndrome and smallpox accompanied with Qi deficiency and no high heat.

With ham season upon us, you might be throwing your hands up in the air not knowing how to approach this important purchase. Buying your celebratory leg of ham feels like making a considerable outlay. Picking the wrong ham can put a dampener on your family's special day, especially when you consider the long weeks ahead where you'll be eating it in sandwiches, with salad, and in that eventual ham soup.
This year I joined Australian Pork Limited in Colin Fassnidge's restaurant, 4Fourteen, for an event designed to take the guesswork out of sourcing a great tasting Australian ham.
A trio of three judges - fleischmeister Horst Schurger, and chefs Paul McDonald and Simon Bestley – spent two days taste testing more than 140 ham entries from across the country. They rank the hams on appearance, aroma, texture and taste, and come up with a state-by-state short list of Australia's best ham.
At this event, the gathered food media also had the opportunity to taste and rank the country's top traditional bone-in and boneless hams in a blind tasting.
Coincidentally my two favourites "number 9" and "number 2" aligned with the top two hams chosen as the People's Choice Award winners. The best boneless ham was by South Australia's Saint Meat Quality Butchers, which had a lovely balanced smoky flavour, without too much salt. My favourite bone-in ham was by Noosa Meat Centre, Queensland, and it had the perfect texture, and well flavoured fat.
According to the judges, Australia's Best Boneless Ham is made by Pingelly Quality Meats in the tiny West Australian town of Pingelly, about one-and-a-half hours east of Perth. While bone-in hams are all made from Australian pork, boneless ham is where you need to be careful to ensure you're only buying Aussie pig. You do this by looking for the pink PorkMark or the words 'Product of Australia'; or you can follow the judges who deemed Australia's Best Traditional Bone-in Ham to be made by Barossa Fine Foods in Edinburgh North, South Australia.
Here in NSW, the judges think you should be looking to the German Butchery in Mona Vale, Zammit Ham & Bacon Curers in Pendle Hill, and Stapleton's Family Meats in Gymea for your boneless ham. For a traditional bone-in leg of ham, head to The Free Range Butcher in Mona Vale, Sunshine Meats in Milperra or the German Butchery, who also have an outlet in Bexley North.
Colin Fassnidge and his team took the opportunity to showcase their expertise with pork across glazed hams and a trio of long pork roasts with textbook crackling. You can eat his pig on the 4Fourteen regular menu as Redleaf Farm Suckling Pig ($39) with corn and pickled peach, or gather together ten friends for a Whole Suckling Pig ($80/per person) experience with sides, accompaniments and dessert. For cooking tips for preparing your ham for you own at-home feast, visit www.pork.com.au and don't be afraid to crack that ham before the day. It is ham season after all!

Hall denies janitor's closet claims, addresses relationship with SGA
Representatives from activist group We the Students spoke at faculty senate on Monday to present their concerns to and answer questions from faculty members. Among the concerns were comments allegedly made by Vice President of Student Affairs Teri Hall recommending that Muslim students use a water bucket in a janitor's closet to wash themselves in order to pray.
The alleged comments came in response to a push by students for the installation of a wash station on campus to accommodate Muslim students and allow them to pray.
Students have reported seeing signs posted at several bathrooms around campus, including one in Neff Hall, asking that students not wash their feet in the sinks.
The issues the group presented echoed the focus of the sit-in held in President Bardo's office as well as a vote of no confidence taken by the student senate, both of which took place earlier this month and were led by the group. These include a perceived lack of transparency from university administrators, shared governance, recent unexplained resignations on campus, sexual assault and the interfaith prayer space.
Taben Azad, who served as student body vice president until his suspension last week, was one of the speakers for the group.
The alleged comments have been cited extensively by activist group We the Students — and others — to point out the university's alleged unwillingness to accommodate Muslim students.
Teri Hall was invited to the faculty senate to address the concerns raised by students.
Hall denied recommending Muslim students wash their feet in a bucket in a janitor's closet.
"What I did say when I met with the Muslim Student Association executive board, I said that construction is going to take some time. And that what we could do is take a janitor's closet, take it offline, clean it up, get stools in there, as a place that could be used until some construction could take place," Hall said.
"That was a short term solution that I offered that has been wildly misquoted and exaggerated in all kinds of ways," Hall said.
One faculty senator said he was concerned that students were this upset.
He cited the revolving door of the Student Affairs department and addressed Hall when describing a "clearly unhealthy relationship between you and the people you're supposed to be representing."
Hall acknowledged that the relationship between university administration and the current student government cabinet is a tense one. She said she hoped that would change when a new cabinet is elected in April.
"It's not untypical when a new advisor comes in that there are problems," Hall said.
"My plan was, we have (SGA) elections in a week and then, when those new folks are elected, to really focus on a relationship with them," Hall said.
"I came into relationships that are broken already — and I'm sure I haven't done anything to help them," Hall said.
"But I don't know that I could have done something to help the rift between SGA and the administration."
