text: An overturned lorry on the A34 has meant that most roads around here have been gridlocked for the past six hours. It makes one feel somewhat smug when you can gaily cycle past all the stationery traffic. But pride comes before a fall: and so it was that I took a tumble. It's easy to do when it's damp and the roads are greasy. Probably easier than overturning an articulated lorry. Thankfully not much blood was spilt in either incident.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - More than 2,660 Iraqi civilians were killed in the capital in September amid a wave of sectarian killings and insurgent attacks, an increase of 400 over the month before, according to figures from the Iraqi Health Ministry.
The increase came despite an intensified U.S.-Iraqi sweep of Baghdad that was launched in mid-August to try to put down the wave of violence that has swept over the capital. The violence consists of a deadly combination of bombings and shootings by Sunni insurgents, and slayings by Shiite and Sunni death squads.
The figures for the number of civilian deaths in September in Baghdad came in an official monthly report from the Health Ministry to the Cabinet on the number of Baghdad victims of violent deaths, two senior ministry officials told The Associated Press.
The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the government has issued orders that the death figures not be released. Civilian casualty numbers are always sensitive, and several other officials in the Health and Interior ministries contacted by the AP refused to give statistics.
The report said 2,667 civilians had died violent deaths in September — an average of 89 a day. Those deaths include bodies found dumped around Baghdad and the victims of explosions, shootings and other attacks, the two officials said.
By comparison, 2,222 people died violently in August in Baghdad, according to a U.N. report published in September, which is also based on official statistics from the Health Ministry.
The two ministry officials said the U.N. number was accurate for the August deaths.
The monthly figures include two categories. One is the number of bodies found in Baghdad, provided from the city morgue, where the bodies are taken to determine the cause of death.
In September, the morgue reported 1,471 bodies of people who died from violence.
Shiite and Sunni death squads are known to kidnap members of the opposing sect, then dump bodies of their victims, often bound and tortured. So a large proportion of the 1,471 bodies are likely from sectarian killings — though they also would include victims of criminal kidnappings and murders.
The other category included in the monthly figure encompasses the victims of explosions, shootings or other attacks, reported by hospitals. They numbered 1,196 in September, according to the report, the two Health Ministry officials said.
In August, 1,536 bodies were brought to the morgue, according to the U.N. report.
The past summer has seen a startling increase in bloodshed, centered in the capital, after the wave of sectarian violence was sparked by the February bombing of a Shiite shrine in the city of Samarra, north of Baghdad.
The deadliest month was July, when 3,590 people were killed across the country — 2,884 of them in Baghdad, according to the U.N. The number killed countrywide fell in August to 3,009, the U.N. said.
The Health Ministry officials who spoke to the AP did not have September figures for the entire country, only for Baghdad.

Key developments
In 2011, Hydro completed the transformation of its business into a resource rich, fully integrated aluminium company with the integration of the Vale Aluminium operations. With a global business model based on measured performance, the company is well positioned among the leaders in the aluminium industry.
The establishment of our new Bauxite & Alumina business area secures the supply of key raw materials to Hydro's own operations and creates a strong platform for future growth. These assets, including the Paragominas bauxite mine and Alunorte alumina refinery, are technologically advanced, cost-competitive and integrated through a pipeline that delivers bauxite for processing into high-grade alumina. The completion of our new world-class smelter, Qatalum, and the integration of Albras in Brazil, has significantly increased Hydro's electrolysis capacity to 2.4 million metric tons.
Prepared for a challenging period ahead
There has been a significant increase in uncertainty regarding economic developments within certain countries and geographic regions in which Hydro operates. In Europe, the fiscal crisis has escalated resulting in deteriorating economic conditions in several countries and in Southern Europe in particular. Recovery has been weak in the US and growth has slowed in China and other major emerging markets. Cost pressure has increased for the aluminium industry in general. The negative effects have been exacerbated by a decline in LME prices to relatively weak levels. Due to the deteriorating market conditions and cost pressures, Hydro wrote down fixed assets by NOK 1.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Hydro has concentrated on maintaining and reinforcing improvements achieved following the previous downturn. The company has a robust financial position and is prepared to meet the challenges ahead. Capital investments have been reduced and Hydro has maintained a strong focus on operating capital. Substantial cost reductions have been achieved throughout the organization.
Responding to market developments toward the end of 2011, Hydro reduced remelt production and strengthened its emphasis on improvement programs and financial discipline. Due to market conditions, the company decided not to restart the remaining 85,000 metric tons (mt) of curtailed capacity at our Sunndal smelter. In January 2012, Hydro also decided to curtail 60,000 mt of production at its Kurri Kurri aluminium smelter which has been negatively impacted by low aluminium prices, increased raw material costs and the strong Australian dollar. No restart of previously curtailed capacity is currently planned.
Due to a continued decline in market demand, Hydro has implemented measures to turn around its Building Systems business targeting cost improvements of EUR 40 million by the end of 2012, compared with 2010. Further production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives have been implemented across the company's downstream operations.

Motor coordination and social-emotional behaviour in preschool aged children.
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
School-age children with movement problems such as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are known to have social and emotional difficulties. However, little research has investigated younger children to determine whether these problems emerge at school age or are present earlier. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between motor coordination, emotional recognition and internalising behaviours in young preschool children. Forty‐one kindergarten children (M = 4 years, 4 months), 22 boys and 19 girls, were assessed on the McCarron Assessment of Neuromuscular Development, the Emotional Recognition Scales, the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, and the Child Behavior Checklist. Motor ability was positively related to a child's emotion comprehension. However, once age, sex, Performance IQ and Verbal IQ were controlled for, it was no longer a significant predictor, which contrasts with previous findings in school‐age children. However, the expected correlation between motor ability and anxiety/depression was significant with a moderate effect size. The results indicate that further investigation is required on the relationship between motor ability and social–emotional development in preschool-age children.

Let us commence with this meeting and jump straight into it. What to do when daddy starts acting a little too 'Daddyish'. Well, what do I mean by this?
When daddy (your man)
starts acting a little too (by little I mean to damn much)
'daddyish' (Father like antics: I put this word in quotation marks, cause it's not a word. Even though the term on Twitter has blown up as a hashtag)
Try to concentrate because I know the word daddy brings to mind this…
Calm down 😏😏😏
But I really mean this…
So now that you've got the idea, let's talk about controlling men or men with daddy like qualities.
What's with them? Controlling men are like literally the worst type of man. (There are so many different types of man that get under my skin, but I'm just being dramatic.) Now we all like a man who takes control. Which confuses some men. But baby, there is a difference between taking control and being controlling. Women like confidence, but we do not need to be told how to walk and talk and eat. And sometimes us women don't see a controlling man when we have one, we can mistake it for confidence. Some of us think it's sexy. We are not children. Some men will tell you how to dress, what to eat, when to sleep, when to breathe and blink. What next? You going to teach me how to wipe myself in the toliet?
So what makes a controlling man?
- He wants to know where you are every second of the day and exactly what you're doing: Now don't get me wrong, letting your partner know what your up to is fine, but there is a limit. Wanting an update every 5 minutes is annoying. If I say I'm with friends, THEN I'M WITH FRIENDS AND I WILL CALL YOU LATER. Trust me and trust that I'm not out cheating or something like that.
- He pushes his ideologies/beliefs on you: Now this one makes my blood boil. Let me break it down for you, because I know I have a couple of brothers on here that read this. Your chilling, you turn around and see a beautiful woman, you approach her, get her number, go on a couple of dates. She is a real nice girl. But there's one problem. She wears makeup. Now this is what I don't like… When the man all of a sudden starts telling her she shouldn't wear makeup. 😠😠😠😠 And I'm not a big fan of it myself, but you can't go trying to change her. Why did you talk to her in the first place? You saw all of that highlight and contour up on her face from the first day. Why didn't you talk to the girl with the bare face? There are plenty of fish in the sea daddy o. Do you see what I mean? And it can be deeper that just makeup. It can go into religion, diet, money all of it. Why are you a Muslim man chatting to a atheist girl, knowing damn well she's an atheist, then getting mad when she reaches for a ham sandwich? Go find a nice Halal sister.(because you want your wife and children have the same religious beliefs as you.) This is the woman who will raise your children. Take it seriously. So the very fact that your talking to her means your not looking for anything serious. Which is haram in thr first place and straight up disrespectful. So why do they still do it? You know why? Because some people want their cake and eat it too. They like the look of you, physically. They are sexually attracted to you, but when it comes down to something serious they all mad about s**t. The amount of brothers that approach me and then say I would look better with straight hair. Mate, you would look better with a straight job and a straight house and some straight five figures in that dry up account of yours. Let me calm down. 😂😂Maybe he doesn't eat meat and you like dem spicy wings. Don't let him change you. If you decide to do anything in life, make sure it's your decision. But I hope you understand me, ladies and gentlemen. Don't go for someone who clearly is completly different to you. Life is too short to be wasting time trying to change someone or change for someone. Maybe I looking at this all wrong, but hey. I don't know bout you ladies, but I DO NOT LIKE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO. LET ME REPEAT. I DO NOT LIKE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO.
- He corrects everything you do: Like your a baby that needs to be told what to do or is doing something wrong.
- He constantly puts you down: And bigs himself up, like your both in some sort of a competition.
- Your spending less time with family and friends: Of course someone new in your life means there is going to be less time for the other people. But don't forget about your loved ones. Being single has made me realise how much time I wasn't spending with my mother and my grandparents. It made me realise how I didn't actually have any friends. So I made some. I go out so much more now. I spend time with myself, learning and thinking. I even started this blog, because I was able to focus on myself. Just don't let a man take all that away from you. Learn to balance him with the rest of your life and if he doesn't like it well… You know what type of demon your working with.
So what do you do if daddy is acting a little too 'daddyish'.
Talk to him. Tell him how he's making you feel and that you don't like it. He might not know that he's being a crazy cunt.
And if that doesn't work.
End it.
Simple as. You deserve to be happy and if someone in your life isn't making you happy, you gotta cut them off. ✂✂
So I hope that little rant helped some of you. Let me know if you agree or disagree with anything stated. I don't mind, I'm all about making conversation.
Until next time,
Stay blessed Queens.👑👑👑

Today's post is definitely, hands down, without a doubt the yummiest recipe I've come across on pinterest! This pin is from Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies by "The Baking Chocalatess"
Warm, golden
Gazing, longing, tempting
Diet, restrained, guilt, resignation
Biting, chewing, swallowing
Moist, delicious
Things that I've done over the past year I've been baking these are noted in italics.
- 14 Tablespoons softened butter
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/2 Cups Flour (I used 3 Cups **Explained in Instructions)
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt or Sea Salt
- 3 Cups of Chocolate Chips or Chunks
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a a few trays with baking paper or spray with non-stick. (My trick is to spray a little non-spray on the pans and get a paper towel to spread it around so it's no too greasy).
- If you didn't pre-soften your butter, melt the butter in the oven in a metal bowl or in the microwave in a glass dish until approx 1/2 the butter is melted. Allow to cool.
- Once cooled, add both sugars and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and eggs, beating between each addition just until mixed.
- Add the flour, baking soda and salt and beat on a low speed, just until combined
- **The originial recipe says to add more flour if needed until the the dough comes together in a ball and is not sticking to the sides of the bowl. I highly recommend adding at least 1/2 cup to a full cup more of flour to achieve the best dough consistency. The 2 1/2 in the ingredients isn't enough to achieve the fluffy cookies pictured.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until even incorporated
- Scoop the dough into small 1 inch rounds and drop onto the baking sheet, spaced enough to account for the dough expanding.
- Baking one tray at a time (this allows the dough to get the best even heating), 10-12 minutes for large cookies, 8-9 minutes for small. Don't over-bake. Allow to cool on wire rack.
- (I pull the cookies out just as the tops turn golden and the still look slightly doughy and carefully and immediately move to wire rack so the bottom side of them doesn't continue to cook on the baking sheet).
- Makes 1 dozen large or 2 to 2 1/2 dozen small cookies.
- Store cookies in air-tight container.
My Results (24 hours passed)
Timing really is crucial. And no two batches comes out the same except that they're always soft and delicious. This particular batch isn't as fluffy because I pulled them out about a minute too soon. My tummy didn't complain though.

Noah went to see God to ask him for a new and improved 'ark'. "Ok Noah. I think it is time you had a new ark", God said. "Take a seat, tell me your ideas, and I'll start a design". "Well, firstly, I'd like it to have plenty of floors. Say, 5 or 6", Noah said. "Ok... 5 or 6 floors" "I'd also like some spaces on the floors as well, to keep things in."
"Right, spaces." And with this God starts drawing a few designs for Noah. "Would you like some animals in there to start you off?" God asked him. "Erm... Fish!" Noah replied. "Fish. Ok. What sort? Any in particular?"
"Carp, and plenty of them", Noah said. "Carp. Anything else needed?" God asked. And they went through various items such as the colour, doors, windows, etc. Finally, between them both they'd come up with a design that they both agreed on. Sitting back in his chair admiring the new 'ark', God asked Noah, "So, what are you going to call it? Have you thought of anything?" "Well God. I thought I'd call it 'Noah's Multi-Story Carp Ark'

Before placing the Gas Cylinder on
the Barrel, reassemble the Stacking Swivel. First
- place the Stacking Swivel so it straddles the
hole cut for it in the Gas Cylinder.
Then insert the Stacking
Swivel Screw from the right hand side of the Gas
Next, tighten the screw
by turning it clockwise until it is quite firmly
secured in place. Some people will peen the end
of the screw for added security but we do not.
Since the front
sight is already on (see the sight reassembly section
on this website) prepare to place the Gas Cylinder

RAW-licious Oatmeal
I can't say enough about this oatmeal except that it is my favorite meal of the day. It's incredibly delicious, filling, energizing and nutritious. It blows away the packaged stuff we ate as kids. I use oat groats which are pictured above. These are the whole cereal grains and look a little like brown rice. However, you can use steel cut oats if you don't have the groats. Here's how you make it:
Take 1 cup of OAT GROATS (or STEEL CUT OATS) and pour them into a large bowl. Then cover the oats with WATER and soak them for around 12 hours.
After soaking the oats, drain out all of the water and pour oats into a FOOD PROCESSOR.
Next, add 1/2 of an APPLE cored into the food processor. Cut the apple into small chunks.
Then, add a 1/3 cup of RAISINS into the food processor.
Next, sprinkle ground CINNAMON on top of all ingredients in the food processor.
Add 2 tablespoons of WATER into the food processor.
Mix all ingredients in food processor for several minutes until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
Serve yourself some in a bowl.
**To take it up another notch and give it a little crunch, try sprinkling CHIA SEEDS and WALNUTS on top.
Eat and enjoy!!!

McCarthy & Stone - Limpsfield Road
24/05/2018 16:10:00......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I visited McCarthy & Stone today with Hakeem (Director of Right at Home and one of the members of the Dementia Alliance) to talk to residents about local issues and concerns. I am pleased to say that most of the residents are living independently with little need for help from the house manager. They enjoy being close to the shops and park and many still drive locally and take part in a number of activities. Places like this are essential in maintaining independence for longer and they enjoy sharing stories with each other in this "family type setting". The main concerns for residents were the cost of parking at Croydon University Hospital and the fact that there weren't enough blue badge spaces vailable when they had day appointments. This is something Hakeem is going to look into and I have suggested that residents take up this issue with our very helpful MP Chris Philp. Also of concern was the speed of cars on Purley Downs Road. Since the introduction of the 20mph zone a number of other motorists are overtaking law abiding citizens and frightening them when vehicles pass at speeds in excees of 50mph. I have been informed by the cabinet member that he is going to ask that 20mph signs be painted on the road surfaces, which I hope has some impact on those driving too fast on this road. Another concern was the closure of Sandrstead Car Park for flats. Many residents drive to the shops to get prescriptions and shopping and use the surgery and other facilities. They feel they will be more isolated if they are not able to park their cars nearby to the shops and are unable to walk very far at all. This is a worry and was raised by the councillors during the consultation period but sadly wasn't taken into consideration. Another concern was the uneven pavements, some of which are quite at a camber which makes it difficult to get to Waitrose. I will speak to the director of service to see if anything can be done. Hakeem and I really enjoyed our chat with the residents and look forward to returning at a future date.
Xmas Lights - Sanderstead & Hamsey Green
22/11/2018 16:08:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
Finally, the Xmas tree has been installed at the side of Sanderstead pond. This should be lit along with the trees on the roundabout. I am pleased to see that the lamp posts in Sanderstead and Hamsey Green have their lights already in place. All ready for Santa to turn them on on Saturday, 1 December at 4pm. Residents will be gathering from 3.30 pm to sing carols around the newly planted tree. Do come and join us.
Sanderstead Pond - Vandalism
26/10/2018 12:12:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
Sadly the Sanderstead Residents' Association noticeboard and notices around Sanderstead pond were vandalised last week. What some people probably don't know is that the area is currently infested with rats. Poison has been put down to try to bring the numbers down but with the warm weather, water and current food supply from residents feeding the ducks the problem has become an environmental health problem.
The council as a matter of urgency put up metal signs at the pond and also laminated posters on the trees and bench to try to persuade residents to stop feeding the ducks whilst they deal with this worrying situation. Huge rats have been seen scurrying along the pathways and around the Gruffy and in the vegetation at the pond. This is only a temporary measure until the infestation is brought under control.
I thought it was worth informing you of the dangers of contracting Weil's disease.
Weil's disease is a form of a bacterial infection also known as Leptospirosis that is carried by animals, most commonly in rats and cattle. It can be caught by humans through contact with rat or cattle urine, most commonly occurring through contaminated fresh water. Although human infection in the UK is minimal it is still worth taking some preventative measures to decrease the possibility of contracting it.
Lots of young and elderly people enjoy this pleasant beauty spot and as a matter of public safety these measures have had to be taken. I would hate for anyone to become seriously ill as a result of not taking action with the council.
I hope this helps explain why these urgent measures have been taken.
Sanderstead Memorial Hall - New Noticeboard
22/10/2018 16:34:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
To commemorate 100 years since the end of the First World War a new notice board and sign has been erected at Sanderstead Memorial Hall. Councillor Yvette Hopley & Cllr Lynne Hale unveiled the notice board on Friday, 19 October 2018
The origins of the Hall go back to just after the end of the First World War. A group of local residents set up a committee in order to raise funds and create a suitable memorial in honour of all the men and women of Sanderstead who died or served their country in the Great War. The hall is used by a number of groups in the Sanderstead Community.
Sanderstead & Hamsey Green Ponds
19/10/2018 15:40:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
I visited Sanderstead and Hamsey Green ponds today to talk to the Conservation Volunteers about improvements. At Sanderstead pond they are going to build a couple of new wooden benches so that resident can enjoy the view and have a little rest. It maybe possible to repair the nesting boxes or if necessary re-build them. This will be funded from the councillor budgets. I also took a look at the recent clearance of parrot weed from Hamey Green pond. This was undertaken by the Conservation Volunteers who have made some headway clearing the parrot weed and reeds and well as cutting back some of the dead branches. The pond does need de-silting and this is a major job which will be undertaken by the council. We are awaiting the contract to undertake this significant piece of work.

Latest 'local plan' consultation
13/10/2018 21:33:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
Monday is the deadline for submitting comments on the council's plans for the 'evolution of the suburbs'. This document sets out in detail how the current council administration intend to intensify the suburbs like Sanderstead and make it even easier to demolish family housing and replace it with blocks of flats.
Don't get me wrong, I have no objection to the construction of flats ot allow younger residents t oget on to the housing ladder or rent somewhere reasonably affordble. But it is where and how you do it that matters.
Here is my submission:
Please accept this email as my submission on the consultation for the SPD2 document. I write in my capacity as a Sanderstead ward councillor and as the leader of the opposition.I will start with general comments on the document and then pick out some clauses which give rise to concern for specific remarks.This is a well put together document which is easy to understand to the lay person. There are a large number of proposals contained within it that give me great concern, as a councillor representing the suburbs, but I cannot fault the way the document has been put together. It should be used to add clarity and texture to the policies in the local plan , but in my opinion SPD2 is too subjective and raises more questions than it answers.The local plan makes it clear that intensification is coming to all areas of Croydon, with the leafy suburbs being no exception. My concerns are not the fact of intensification, but the need to balance intensification with keeping the distinct character of our different neighbourhoods and retaining the quality of life which currently makes them pleasant places to live. I am concerned that this issue of 'character' is paid little attention in the draft SPD2.Specific points:Figures 1.3a, 1.3b and 1.3c detail the evolution of the different types of suburbs, but are very subjective and takes no account of the context or topography of individual streets.Paragraph 2.2 sets out the overarching principles to provide the right mix of homes in the right location, improve or positively contribute to local character and minimise impact on neighbouring amenity. All of these are laudable aspirations, but how are they balanced against housing need and how will be the balance between them be adjudicated?Paragraph 2.3 & 2.4 talks about optimising sites by building across boundaries. I have major concerns about this. There is a real danger that this policy will create mega blocks which dominate their neighbourhoods. How will this work with policies 2.11 and 2.15?Paragraph 2.7 & 2.8 - 2.7 talks encouragingly about recognising that different places have a different character and a different type of built environment. But it is really hard to take from this any guidance about what is and is not acceptable in each place. The Character of the 16 places is shown followed by the three types of approaches to character – sympathetic and faithful, innovative and original, contemporary reinterpretation – but there is no guidance as to what is to be used where. This runs the risk of challenging the character of the places and allows for too loose an interpretation. Is this really a faithful interpretation of policy DM10?2.11 pages 38 and 39 offer guidance on acceptable levels of visual intrusion which seem confusing, vague and highly subjective. In my view 2.11n and 2.11r are equally unacceptable.Paragraph 2.17 refers to backland site and references part of policy DM10.4 e. For clarity it should also detail the rest of the policy around use of 50% of rear gardens.Paragraph 2.30 I agree that it is important for parking areas to be landscaped rather than simply being areas of hardstanding. However I am concerned about 2.30.3 suggesting it is appropriate to have parking in the front and rear. Chapter 3 details the four intensification areas in Brighton Road, Forestdale, Kenley & Shirley. In my view the locations and boundaries of these were arbitrary and in may cases illogical. Sadly only the Sanderstead one was entirely deleted, although it is clear that the Inspector also had concerns bout the evidence base to support these zones. However, whatever we may now think, the boundaries in most cases have been set by the Local Plan.I have always felt that the Forestdale zone in particular is virtually impossible to deliver due to the fragmented nature of the land ownership.
Friends of Kings' Woods
11/10/2018 19:48:00.......Posted by Yvette Hopley
Kingswood Footpath Improvements
The Friends of King's Wood approached their local Councillors to ask for funding to improve sections of worn paths at the various entrances into the wood to make them more welcoming for local residents.
The Ward Councillor through their Community Budget agreed to fund the resurfacing works with a grant of £6,782.
The Friends commissioned the Downlands Partnership Project to deliver the project over 9 days in August 2018. The Downlands Partnership hired the necessary machinery, and thanks to Graham Woodcock the machines were stored at the King's Wood cottages for the duration of the project.
120 tonnes of type 1 limestone material was laid and over 1500 metres of paths improved. 66 volunteers assisted over the 9 days, led by 3 experienced members of staff. The project was very popular with volunteers and the large number attending meant they had time to carry out additional works and cleared litter, removed vegetation to widen paths and removed unwanted holly and sycamore.
Council still messing up bin enquiries
05/10/2018 07:32:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
Lots of residents have been in touch to say that they repeatedly report problems with the new bins, including many missed collections, but that absolutely nothing changes. I saw a good example of that last week. On 27 July I asked them to review whether the new bins were suitable for properties like Woodview Close, off Cherry Tree Green.
The head of service wrote back to say he had asked his team to review it. On 26 SEPTEMBER the service wrote to say they were going to do it (the review) - that's two entire months' delay!
Now residents at the other end of the new ward, in Ridge Langley, have asked for a review, on the grounds that their properties are up many steps and there is nowhere to store the bins at ground level. They have tried to get the contact to do this direct, but have had no response to their pleas. I have told the service I am hoping for rather quicker response this time.....
In the meantime, residents who have used the new online reporting facility for missed collections tell me they report every missed collection but the service neither improves the following week nor do they get a remedial collection. They'd do as well to pin a message to the tail of a passing cat as use the new online system!
And people who try to use the 'phone often find they receive a cheery message about how great the new online service is, then get cut off.
And we repeatedly hear from residents that the crews are looking inside the new massive containers and seeing just a small amount of recyclables in the bottom, so they are picking up the bin and tipping the contents into their 'master' bins, in the way they used to do with the old crates. That's an industrial accident waiting to happen. When residents report it they get assured that Veolia does not do this - in spite of the evidence of hundreds of pairs of eyes that they do! I think I know which, out of the residents and the crews, are telling porkies.
As councillors we have a little more joy than residents in getting the service deficiencies sorted out, so please do continue to involve us where there are difficulties and we will do our best to get them sorted.
Care home in Wisborough Road
05/10/2018 07:32:00.......Posted by Tim Pollard
Last night I went before Planning Committee to support residents in Wisborough Road and Ewhurst Avenue in objecting to an expansion of the home. This used to be in Croham ward but came into Sanderstead in May.
The history here is that the home received permission to expand by building a bungalow in the grounds earlier this year, but now wants to add an additional bedroom to the extension.
Residents say that the previous application passed un-noticed because the notices informing nearby residents were either never sited or quickly taken down.
This is a case I can see both sides of: it is a care home for vulnerable adults (as opposed to the elderly), many of whom have apparently suffered serious injuries. This leads to more disturbance to neighbours than you might normally expect of a care home, as the clients face challenges and frustrations and this does lead to significant noise and other nuisances. Having said that, it is important that this vulnerable group receive the best standard of care and it is probably better if this is done by specialists.
In terms of planning law, the committee was in a difficult position in that whatever the rights and wrongs of the communication of the substantive application, this one is quite minor and there aren't really planning grounds to refuse it. It is always frustrating for residents when application gets bigger in little increments, in that nobody then considers the impact of the whole. The local planning authority has a duty to consider all applications received on the individual merits of the individual application, so it can't even impose a 'no more applications for a while' condition.
I was pleased that the home's manager offered to accept conditions that would require them to deal with a couple of issues which are currently irritating neighbours, including the location of a controversial terrace, some screening and increasing on-site parking. Sadly the council felt unable to include these as conditions, as they fall outside normally accepted conditions, but I hope that the home will make good on these anyway.
So the long and short of it is that permission was granted, but I have asked the home manager to work with me to try to bring some better harmony to relations with the neighbours and I hope to visit the home soon to start that.

Local wins coveted arm wrestling honour
by Chris Daponte
MOOREFIELD - The medical experts who told Tyler Robinson's parents their son would never walk may be feeling a bit silly right about now.
The 21-year-old, who was born with cerebral palsy, has overcome countless obstacles and just last weekend he was named the 2011 Rookie of the Year by the Ontario Armwrestling Association (OAA).
Robinson has had a passion for arm wrestling since public school, but the Moorefield resident never really had a chance to truly explore the sport until about a year ago.
"I always liked arm wrestling - since I was a kid," Robinson told the Wellington Advertiser.
His father, Les Robinson, said Tyler's affinity for the sport seemed to start after he first watched Over the Top, the 1987 film starring Sylvester Stallone.
Under the guidance of Jay and Janet Reihle and Jeff Oosterveld, who started taking him to practices with the Teeswater Thunder Team, Tyler fared well at several local tournaments, before joining the Harriston Havoc team in October.
Les noted Harriston Havoc team members have welcomed his son with open arms and have helped his training immensely. Tyler has greatly improved his balance and strength and he continues to work out at home.
"I train hard every day to get ready," Tyler said.
And it appears all the hard work is certainly paying off.
He is the southern Ontario champion in his left arm and he won third for his right arm (in the 177 to 198 pounds category).
Robinson is also western Ontario champion for his left arm and second for his right arm.
On July 16 Robinson travelled to Belleville for the OAA Provincial Tournament, where he was named the 2011 Ontario Rookie of the Year.
"I was so excited I forgot to videotape it ... we were pretty happy for him, that's for sure," Les said. "My wife Deb and I are so amazed and proud of him."
Tyler said no one was more shocked than him when his named was called out.
"I was pretty surprised," he said. "I didn't think I would get it."
But Les says his son is "a crowd favourite" at tournaments and extremely popular among his arm wrestling peers.
Comments posted on the OAA message board seem to support that sentiment.
Renowned arm wrestling champion Chris Gobby recently contributed this post, "I personally have never been more proud and honoured in awe as when I've shaken this man's hand. Tyler is my ambassador of this sport ... and my rookie of the year."
But despite his successes to date, Tyler certainly has not become complacent. His goal is to ultimately become "a real champ" and he believes - as do others - that with continued hard work and perseverance, it may just be a matter of time until he gets there.
"I love it," Tyler said of the sport of arm wrestling. "I'm never going to give it up."

WASHINGTON -- Of all the roads to riches, Jack Dowden and Christopher Urda discovered one that enabled them to do good and do well at the same time.
They exposed defense and health care companies that cheated the government, helped the taxpayers recover $165 million -- and became millionaires and men of leisure.
"My wife and I sleep on nicer sheets, we drive nicer cars, we've been on a cruise to Alaska, I play golf, I go fishing," Mr. Dowden, 47, said from his newly purchased, million-dollar home in Southern California. "If I don't enjoy it, it's my own fault."

Mengovirus 14S subviral protein particles generated in infected L cells and in a cell-free translation system primed with mengovirus RNA were purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation and immunoaffinity chromatography. The preparations from both sources contained essentially pure proteins epsilon, alpha, and gamma, as was demonstrated in terms of virus-specific proteins (by autoradiography) and total protein content (by silver staining of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels). These purified proteins sedimented as discrete particles at the 14S position when recentrifuged in sucrose gradients. Although their assembly properties have not yet been studied in detail, preliminary results indicate that during incubation with virion RNA the 14S particles purified from infected cells can form a structure cosedimenting with mature mengovirus.

Suspended officer kills himself
A Shallotte Police Department officer suspended after a mid-July shooting incident died Sunday from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Lt. Joseph Carey Gaskins, 55, was found shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday with a single gunshot wound to the head in the cab of his 1997 sport utility vehicle. It was parked in an empty lot near a Lowes Foods store construction site off Ocean Isle Beach Road, Shallotte Police Chief Rodney Gause said. A gun was found in the vehicle.
Gause said the department's 11 other sworn officers were briefed on the incident late Sunday afternoon at the Shallotte headquarters, with a chaplain from the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office in attendance.
Several Shallotte officers and sheriff's deputies were searching for Gaskins Sunday after family members alerted authorities that Gaskins had been missing for several hours, Gause said.
Gaskins, a member of the Shallotte department since November 1990, was suspended without pay from the force July 16 after an incident two days earlier when he allegedly shot into the air and threatened suicide at Tripps Marina on Village Point Road. A 911 caller that night said a "severely depressed" officer was threatening suicide.
The incident ended without injury, and Gaskins was taken to the Brunswick Community Hospital emergency room for treatment. After that incident, Gause said, Gaskins was suspended until Sept. 1, at which time he planned to retire. The chief said Gaskins had received counseling.

Detectability of Thermal Signatures Associated with Active Formation of 'Chaos Terrain' on Europa
A recent study by Schmidt et al. (2011) suggests that Thera Macula, one of the "chaos regions" on Europa, may be actively forming over a large liquid water lens. Such a process could conceivably produce a thermal anomaly detectable by a future Europa orbiter or flyby mission, allowing for a direct verification of this finding. Here, we present a set of models that quantitatively assess the surface and subsurface temperatures associated with an actively resurfacing chaos region using constraints from Thera Macula. The results of this numerical study suggest that the surface temperature over an active chaos region can be as high as ∼200 K∼200 K. However, low-resolution Galileo Photo-Polarimeter Radiometer (PPR) observations indicate temperatures below 120 K over Thera Macula. This suggests that Thera Macula is not currently active unless an insulating layer of at least a few centimeters in thickness is present, or activity is confined to small regions, reducing the overall intensity of the thermal signature. Alternatively, Thera may have been cooling for at least 10–100 yr and still contain a subsurface lake, which can take ∼300,000 yr to crystallize. According to the present study, a more sensitive instrument capable of detecting anomalies ∼5 K above ambient could detect activity at Thera Macula even if an insulating layer of ∼50 cm is present.

Wrappin Up the Holidays
Every Christmas we tend to be bombarded with invitations to holiday parties. The parties are a lovely way to see friends, have great food, and celebrate the season. This year the first holiday party I attended was the first week of December, and from there I had one to go to pretty much every weekend through the New Year (including one I hosted).
The last official Christmas party was actually 2 & 1/2 weeks AFTER Christmas! My mom hosted, and she likes to call it her "Wrap up the Holidays Party". For this year's party she asked me to make cupcakes since she's always telling her friends about my creations. She figured this was the perfect time for them to actually try them! There was a crazy amount of food at the party though, so most people ended up taking their cupcakes to go.
My mom loves chocolate, so of course the cupcake needed to be chocolate based.. I decided on a cocoa apple cupcake with a cream cheese frosting. The cake features chocolate chips and shredded Fuji apples. I made a similar cupcake for Thanksgiving a few years ago, but that one had a sour cream frosting. The chocolate and the apple make the cupcake quite sweet, but the frosting only has one cup of sugar which makes for a nice not too sweet topper.
I stuck to fully edible decor for this one. Red and green Christmas tree sprinkles, and a chocolate dipped apple slice!
Unfortunately, there was a little too much wine consumed at the party by yours truly, and I didn't get to snag a nice picture of the cupcakes at the party. But, my mom was kind enough to send me a pic of the leftovers the next morning!
Happy New Year – 2014?!
WOW! I can't believe I managed to go two whole years without a post on this site! I was actually thinking it was only one year, but my last Happy New Year post was for 2012! My, how time has flown…
Needless to say, I haven't been baking with the regularity of 2011, but I've done a few special requests here and there. Even with the typical craziness of the holiday season I managed to do two holiday cupcakes.
The first one was to kick off the holiday season at my sister's Christmas cocktail party in Brooklyn. I figured since there'd be a lot of alcohol being consumed, it was best to keep the cupcake flavors simple. I did a chocolate chip, vanilla cake with a vanilla buttercream frosting. The cupcake was made festive with a two-tone swirl frosting, red and green Christmas tree sprinkles, and a Merry Christmas non-edible topper. I do try to avoid toppers that can't be eaten, but I had these in my pantry and thought they were pretty cute!
I'll save the other Christmas cupcake for another post. With these long breaks I'm going to need to get a few post in reserve!
Happy New Year!
After a flurry of holiday activity & a storm of holiday eating, I couldn't bring myself to make another cupcake this year. For our New Year's Eve celebration, I passed the dessert reigns to my mom & she made us a mean brownie!!
Here's a peek at the 2010/2011 cupcake though!
It was a champagne cake topped with champagne buttercream, edible gold stars & a working noisemaker! It was a perfect combo for ringing in the new year (last year!)
Christmas Cupcakes!
Merry Christmas Eve!
Here's two of my creations from this holiday season! They were created for my annual holiday gathering, and both went pretty quick, despite my fear of having made too many!!
The first was a Peppermint Bark cupcake, inspired by the famous holiday treat! It featured a chocolate, peppermint cake, and was topped with a white chocolate buttercream. As a garnish, crushed candy cane pieces were sprinkled on top, and the cakes were then topped with a candy cane Hershey kiss!
My second cupcake (which may make an encore appearance tomorrow for Christmas) was an eggnog cupcake. Eggnog was used in both the cake and the frosting. There was also a healthy dose of nutmeg and rum to spice things up. The cupcakes were topped with sugar holly leaves and one, tiny red sugar berry, a few shimmery white sprinkles, and a bit more nutmeg!
Custom Order!
Last night I had the pleasure of creating cupcakes for a co-worker who wanted to gift a personalized, strawberry/vanilla cupcake this holiday season.
The cupcakes were for a friend's younger sister, so there was also a request for lots of pink, and I was happy to oblige! The strawberry cake was tinted pink, as was the vanilla buttercream frosting, which was then garnished with pink sugar glitter, and shimmery white sprinkles.
This was my first request for a personalized cupcake, so I invested in funky letter cutters & got to work making some gum paste!
Thanksgiving 2011
Before being totally swamped with all the baking and festivities associated with the upcoming holidays, I had to post about my Thanksgiving creations! This was the first Thanksgiving Jer and I hosted in our new home, and no holiday is complete without cupcakes…
Of course having hosted Thanksgiving Italian style (antipasto course, pasta course, turkey course, THEN dessert), there wouldn't be much room left for cupcakes, so these cupcakes were packaged to go. That's not to say we went without dessert on Thanksgiving though – my mom made her famous apple pie, Jer's mom made brownies, and his brother made pumpkin pie!
Pumpkins and apples are two great traditional flavors of Fall, and I wanted to incorporate them both into the cupcakes. The first cupcake was a Pumpkin Cupcake with Vanilla Buttercream, topped with orange sugar. The cake itself was made with pumpkin puree and a variety of spices including nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice. It was moist like a pumpkin bread, but not as dense. The vanilla buttercream was a nice topper, as well, but a cream cheese frosting would have been great too!
The second cupcake was a Cocoa-Apple Cupcake with Sour Buttercream, topped with chocolate sprinkles. The cake was made with cocoa power, shredded organic Gala apples, and studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips. The Sour Buttercream is similar to a traditional buttercream, but is made with sour cream and is not as sweet, so it paired very well with the cake!
I packaged two of each cupcake in a festive box and gave them to our guests as they were leaving – just in case they got hungry on the car ride home 😉
Happy Halloween!!!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year, and in celebration, today's cupcake is a Chocolate Pumpkin Ale with Pumpkin Buttercream frosting! I was a bit pressed for time this year, as we're in the midst of a bunch of home renovations, but I managed to whip up this batch on one side of the kitchen while paint was drying on the wall on the other side!!
I started with my recipe for Chocolate Stout Cupcakes (great for St. Patty's Day) and gave it an autumn twist. I substituted the stout with Post Road Pumpkin Ale from Brooklyn Brewery, and added in a little pumpkin pie spice.
The buttercream is made with organic pumpkin puree, in addition to ground cinnamon and ginger.
The cupcakes are topped with orange sugar, green sprinkles, and a mini sugar pumpkin!
Countdown to the 4th!
Here's a quick look at last year's 4th of July cupcakes I made for a BBQ at my sister's BF's place! (which has a great vantage point for viewing NYC fireworks!)
The cakes were vanilla, and topped with vanilla buttercream. Last year's 4th was a scorcher, and frosting these guys was a real challenge, if you look close you can see these guys were already a bit melty! But, they were quite a hit at the BBQ. They actually never got officially served. I was keeping them cool in a corner in the kitchen, and people kept grabbing them as they passed through!
Frosting & heat don't get along at all, which is why you let cupcakes fully cool before frosting. This is one of my excuses for the lack of activity here at The Cupcake Files. It's really been too hot to bake cupcakes as of late, however I have had a VERY successful cheesecake and blueberry pie emerge from my kitchen. Hopefully one day we'll have central air and I can continue my cupcake baking in all kinds of weather.
Heat aside though, if you've been following my other blog, Titus Road, you'll know I've been quite busy with home improvements, and haven't had much time for cupcake making.
Excuses aside, I do have grand plans for some cupcakes for this holiday weekend.. If I can bring myself to make my plan less grand, there's a chance they may actually happen, but we are in the middle of installing a sliding door in our dining room, and building rather sizable deck, not sure if I'll be able to squeeze baking into this holiday weekend!
Easter 2011
Happy Day After Easter! Hope your holiday was as enjoyable as ours was!! This year we celebrated with both family and friends, so we were a nice-sized group of 11!
As previously mentioned, in creation of the day's cupcakes, I had a few requests to fulfill. Most of them came from my sister:
- She wanted a bunny cake (I obliged with bunny cupcakes)
- She wanted my mom's chocolate frosted layer cake (I again obliged by using my mom's recipes)
- Her BF has a coconut allergy, so I wanted to provide another option for him since the bunnies have coconut faces!
To start, I made all the cupcakes with the Betty Crocker New Starlight Cake recipe. The recipe dates back to at least the 1960s, and this has been my mom's go-to yellow cake recipe for as long as I can remember. You can't even find this on the Betty Crocker website anymore. The closest thing they have is a Yellow Cake recipe, and even that's a bit different. The only change I made to the original recipe was using butter instead of the shortening, and of course I made cupcakes, rather than cake.
Then there's the frosting. My mom's chocolate frosting is the best around, and a closely guarded secret, and also dates back to the 60s! To emulate the layer-cake that my sister loves, I filled all the cupcakes with the chocolate frosting. Then half got frosted with vanilla buttercream, while the rest got frosted with the chocolate frosting.
I then proceed to decorate all the cupcakes with a variety of peeps, lambs, sprinkles, and colored sugar for a festive Easter display!
Countdown to Easter – Pt. 2
Three days left until Easter, and I've finally come up with a plan for Sunday's cupcakes! I usually come up with an idea pretty quickly, but for this coming holiday I had a few specific requests to fill (more on that later!), so I was a little delayed.
In the meantime, here's a quick look at last year's cupcakes. These were made for an Easter brunch hosted by my sister Melinda and my friend/her roomie Courtney at their apartment. The cupcakes were great, but paled in comparison to the great food those two whipped up! Still thinking about their cheese grits…
Anywho, to change things up a bit, I made Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. They were decorated with shredded wheat to resemble nests, candy-covered chocolate eggs, and festive Easter picks!

In The Matter of PETITION FOR MODIFICATION
Phelps Dodge Safford, Inc. Phelps Dodge Safford Inc. Mine
I.D. No. 02-03131 Docket No. M-2007-007-M PROPOSED DECISION AND ORDER
On June 19, 2007, a petition was filed by Phelps Dodge Safford, Inc., (Safford) seeking a modification of the application of 30 C.F.R. § 56.6309(b) to its Phelps Dodge Safford Inc. Mine (Safford Mine) located in Safford, Graham County, Arizona. The petitioner alleged that the alternative method outlined in the petition would at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection for miners as afforded by the standard.
Standard 56.6309 Fuel oil requirements for ANFO, provides:
Liquid hydrocarbon fuels with flash points lower than that of No. 2 diesel oil (125 degrees Fahrenheit) shall not be used to prepare ammonium nitrate-fuel oil, except that diesel fuels with flash points no lower than 100 degrees Fahrenheit may be used at ambient air temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Waste oil, including crankcase oil, shall not be used to prepare ammonium nitrate-fuel oil.
MSHA investigators conducted an investigation relevant to the merits of the petition and filed a report of their findings with the Administrator for Metal and Nonmetal Mine Safety and Health. After a careful review of the entire record, including the petition and MSHA's investigative report this Proposed Decision and Order ("PDO") is issued.
The alternative method uses a blending plant which mixes recycled oil and diesel fuel oil on demand (as required) basis. There is no blended oil tank at the site. The system incorporates tanks containing diesel fuel, and tanks containing recycled filtered oil.
When a recycled oil tank is full, the tank is secured to prevent any additional recycled oil from being added until it is almost empty. The alternative method set forth in the Petition will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection afforded
miners under 30 C.F.R. § 56.6309(b) by ensuring that only waste oils meeting certain conditions will be mixed with diesel fuel and prills to form an ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) blasting agent. Compliance with this PDO entitles Safford to a modification of the application of 30 C.F.R. § 56.6309(b) to its Safford Mine.
Wherefore, pursuant to the authority delegated by the Secretary of Labor to the Administrator for Metal and Nonmetal Mine Safety and Health and pursuant to Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, 30 U.S.C. Section 811(c), it is ordered that a modification of the application of 30 C.F.R. § 56.6309(b) to the Safford Mine, as it pertains to utilizing recycled oil in preparing ANFO blasting agents is hereby:
GRANTED, conditioned upon compliance with the following requirements:
Only filtered, waste used petroleum-based, lubrication oil from diesel equipment ("recycled oil") at the Safford Mine shall be used for blending with diesel fuel and conventional prills to create ANFO.
Prior to storage in tank(s), the used oil shall be filtered to ensure that it has no particle size larger than 150 microns. Once filtered, the "used oil" becomes "recycled oil."
The recycled oil shall not be modified by heating, the addition of additives, or in any other way that could change the relevant properties of the recycled oil. High viscosity oils of 90 weight (90W) or above shall be restricted to less than 10% of the total quantity of the recycled oil.
The following tests for ethylene glycol and water shall be conducted on each tank of recycled oil:
The recycled oil shall be checked for the presence of ethylene glycol and water prior to blending with the diesel fuel. If present, water or ethylene glycol shall be drained prior to mixing the recycled oil with the diesel fuel.
Tests for ethylene glycol and water content shall be made by drawing a sample from the recycled oil tank at no less than 30 day intervals. If either substance is observed by vision or tests of the recycled oil, use of the recycled oil shall be discontinued until the ethylene glycol and/or water is drained from the recycled oil.
After mixing the recycled oil with the diesel fuel (this mixture becomes "blended oil"), the recycled oil shall not exceed 50% by volume of this mixture.
A representative sample blend of the recycled oil and the diesel fuel ("blended oil") shall be prepared and subjected to the following tests. The tests shall represent the entire tank of recycled oil as long as no additional recycled oil or other substances are added to the tank. Also, any alteration of the blend ratio of recycled oil to diesel requires a new series of tests.
The recycled oil shall not exceed 50% of the mixture by volume.
Viscosity tests of the blended oil mixture shall be taken at ambient outside temperatures before it is mixed with prills. Use of the blended oil shall be suspended when it becomes too viscous to obtain proper absorption, at least six (6) percent fuel by weight, in the prills. Additional non-recycled oil may be added to the blended oil and thoroughly mixed to obtain the proper absorption;
A flash point test shall be conducted of the mixture using the open or closed cup ("American Society for Testing and Materials") (ASTM) method. The mixture shall have a minimum flash point of 100°Fahrenheit when the ambient air temperature is below 45° Fahrenheit. A minimum flash point of 125° Fahrenheit shall be maintained if the ambient air temperature is at or above 45° Fahrenheit.
A representative sample of each blend of the recycled oil and the diesel fuel ("blended oil"), when combined with the appropriate volume of ammonium nitrate prills and prior to this mixture (ANFO) being loaded in any drill hole, shall be tested in accordance with the following provisions:
The Petitioner shall conduct one test for: (1) sensitivity of the blended oil mixture and ammonium nitrate prills to a No. 8 strength USA detonator in accordance with UN Test 15.4.1 test 5(a) which is attached; and (2) cap sensitivity using a Number 8 USA cap as the detonator which shall be the standard for this test.
During the first thirty (30) days of blended oil use in the ANFO mixture, the Petitioner shall perform one "glass jar test" a day for each truck used that day to load drill holes for blasting to ensure that the oil has been appropriately absorbed. A copy of the "glass jar test" procedure and guidelines is attached to this order.
If the results of the "glass jar" tests performed during the initial 30-day period in Paragraph 7(b) fall within the parameters set forth in the attachment and are satisfactory to MSHA, one "glass jar test" for each tank of recycled oil shall be performed by the Petitioner thereafter. If
unsatisfactory results occur, the MSHA District Manager shall be notified to determine if additional tests will be required.
A log shall be maintained for each tank of recycled oil at the Safford Mine for three (3) years following final use of each tank of the recycled oil. The log shall be made available to MSHA representatives and the miners' representative upon request. The following information shall be recorded in the log:
The date and quantity (in gallons) of recycled oil transferred to the recycled oil tank;
Condition No. 6(a) – the ratio of diesel fuel to recycled oil, the blending date, and the quantity (in gallons) of each ingredient;
Condition No. 6 (b) – viscosity test and absorption results;
Condition No. 6 (c) - flash point test results in degrees Fahrenheit;
Condition Nos. 7 (a), (b), and (c) - sensitivity and blended oil/prill mixing test results including whether or not the sample detonated; "glass jar" test results; and
"Load" and "shot" reports using the blended oil. These reports shall include the following information: the date(s) of loading, the date(s) of blasting, the quantities of ANFO or emulsions used, the weather conditions, the detonation methods, the borehole size(s), the use of plastic hole liners, and the number and location of any misfires within the round (shot).
Applicable revisions or appropriate changes to the MSHA 30 C.F.R. § 48 training plan regarding the conditions in this PDO shall be submitted to the MSHA District Manager for revision and approval prior to training plan implementation by the Petitioner.
Any party to this action desiring a hearing shall file a request for hearing within 30 days after service of the Proposed Decision and Order, in accordance with 30 C.F.R. § 44.14, with the Administrator for Metal and Nonmetal Mine Safety and Health, 1100 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22209-3939. If a hearing is requested, the request shall contain a concise summary of position on the issues of fact or law desired to be raised by the party requesting the hearing, including specific objections to the Proposed Decision and Order. A party other than the petitioner who has requested a hearing shall also comment upon all issues of fact or law presented in the petition. Any party to this action requesting a hearing may indicate a desired hearing site. If no request for a
hearing is filed within 30 days after service thereof, this Proposed Decision and Order will become final and shall be posted by the operator on the mine bulletin board at the mine.
