Enjoy the incredible scenery of Puerto Varas
The beautiful little town of Puerto Varas, Chile, is situated on the southwest side of Lake Llanquihue. It is only 20 km from Puerto Montt and enjoys not only the beautiful waters of the lake but the incredible scenery that goes with it. Across the lake, one can see the beautiful snowcapped peaks of the Calvuco and Osorno volcanoes stretching up into the clouds. Puerto Varas has many activities on offer which make it an enjoyable holiday destination.
The 19th century German colonization of the area is most evident in the architectural style and layout of the town. Puerto Varas also enjoys a large number of fine gardens which are generally cultivated in the German tradition. Besides enjoying the usually quiet waters of the lake, Puerto Varas also has a number of excellent rivers near by which offer fishing and whitewater rafting opportunities. The city is also located near to a number of beautiful wilderness areas and visitors generally enjoy trips to Alerce Andino National Park, Vincente Perez Rosales National Park Llanquihue Lake, Lago Todos los Santos or Petrohue Fall. A ferry trip to Chiloe Island is another popular attraction offering great sightseeing and birdspotting opportunities along the way. The Island itself is home to a small town called Ancud which has a great fresh seafood market.
While the majority of residents of this charming village are middle or upper-class residents who commute to Puerto Montt or other surrounding towns each day, the city is known for being one of Chile's most charming villages and travel hubs. It's somewhat unique architecture and handsome casino give it a distinct feel while the city also boasts an excellent tourism infrastructure so visitors are well catered for. There are a number of great hotels in Puerto Varas which tend to get very full during the holiday season so make sure you book early if you're planning to visit during this time of the year. Alternatively, you could try the cheap hostels in Puerto Varas which will help make your stay more affordable. Whatever you choose, make sure you don't miss out on this surprisingly little village on the shores of Lake Llanquihue!

Doctor Gia (ドクター・ギア )Doctor Gia was an anime-only character. He appeared in the Stars season as a surgeon from America who came to Japan to perform a life-saving operation on Misa, in episode 185.
Sailor Aluminum Seiren thought he was a good target for a Star Seed and attacked him, but was disappointed when it turned out to be a blank. He then turned into the Phage Sailor Doctor, and was saved by Sailor Mercury and Eternal Sailor Moon. After he was back to normal, he successfully performed the operation and Misa recovered.

"I like guys that are bad for me," you say.
I want to say: "That means I'm good for you!
You fall for jerks and swig their false bouquet
Instead of mine—which is the brew that's true!"
"What would I do without you?" you keep saying.
How about doing something with me? Jeez!
I check out all these losers you keep laying
And next to them, I look like Hercules.
What is your deal? As far as I can see,
You're blind to all but those who give you scorn—
And since I'm always yelling "Look at me!"
You're also deafer than an ear of corn.
You have bad taste in men, we all agree—
That's why it's long past time you tasted me.

I have used the Angler 2 in the past, that fits on the bed of my machine, and had fairly good luck but just wondering about trying one of these other methods. What is the method you use or what works best for you. Just curious.

This is the time of year for gardener's to think about their next garden. Or, maybe you have already started it with some garlic, shallots and onions poking up, some overwintered greens. Or, maybe fava beans. This is the time of year that seed catalogs show up at your door confusing you with a cornucopia of choices. It's very confusing, especially for a new gardener.
I've been reading a new book by Carol Deppe called The Resilent Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times. I've already blogged about it once here in Thinking About Potatoes. The book is so rich in information that I could go on and on. But this wouldn't be fair to Ms. Deppe. I suggest that any gardener buy the book.
Reading Steve Solomon convinced me that all gardening books are not equal in that they are not universally useful in every area of the country. We are best served by taking the advice of gardeners like Steve Solomon and Carol Deppe who have long histories in the Pacific NW. As I pointed out in the previous post, "Carol Deppe focuses on five crops: potatoes, squash, beans, corn and eggs (duck eggs). Motivated by celiac's disease, a gluten intolerance, she developed a program of planting crops that would satisfy her nutritional needs over the course of the year. She goes into great depth on the planting, growing, harvesting, storing, preparing and nutritional benefits of her five main crops." She also writes very useful and provocative chapters on labor and exercise, watering, gardening in an era of climate change and diet and food resilience.
Her book stimulates much thought and will give you lots of ideas for the garden seasons to come. And, getting back to those seed catalogs, she is pretty specific about which varieties to plant. On her advice I've ordered Oregon Sweet Meat Squash. a big sucker that she says will keep for a year! I'm also going to try and inter-plant pole beans with corn. She recommends Withner White Cornfield Bean. (You have to credit someone who can write a fascinating chapter on beans).
I probably won't be able to resist culling a few more gems from this book for the blog. It's a good one. Highly recommended.
9 Responses to "The Resilient Gardener"
If you live in New England instead of the Northwest, would you say Resilent Gardener is still worth reading? Our winters are colder, we get less rain and our summers are probably hotter. What do you think?
I've also had great success with Scarlet runner beans, AKA Scarlet emperor beans or Emperor beans. They had beautiful edible red blossoms, nice on salads if you want to give up the beans. Young pods are sweet and tender. Mature pods yield beautiful black and purple storage beans. Easy to dry, eat over the winter and have bean seeds for next year. They have gave us a bountiful harvest, even with cool autumn. Kept them on the vine as long as possible so the last pods/beans could mature. Had to watch for mold on the last few still on the vine in October.
Thanks for the guidance.

Sabana Grande, part 1
After we were in Leon for three and a half weeks we went up to Sabana Grande, a small community in the north of Nicaragua (south of Honduras and near Ocotal) to do volunteer work with Grupo Fenix (a group that does work on solar and renewable energy and also works with the Energy University in Managua. If you want to find out more you can go to www.GrupoFenix.org). There is a group of women called Mujeres Solares de Totogalpa (Solar Women of Totogalpa and their web-site is www.MujeresSolares.org that work in Sabana Grande on solar and renewable energy also.

|Oso and I in the doorway
The family we were living with was Yelba, Jorge, the dad, Scarleth, Enyel (pronounced like Angel), the 7-year-old son, and Oso, the tiny 2-month-old dog that was sooo cute. They were all very warm and welcoming to us.
Our house had 5 rooms including 3 bedrooms, a common room (that served as the dining room, the living room, and just a general sitting area), and a kitchen. There was a table, chairs and a T.V. in the common room.
|The kitchen counter
The efficient stove
In the kitchen there was an efficient stove that one of the earlier volunteers had designed. It had a chimney so the smoke would go outside instead of staying in the kitchen and then into the lungs of the people making them sick. It also saved fire wood because the opening was smaller. There was only 3 of these stoves in the community and we were happy to live with one instead of having all of the smoke in our house.

|Carol Ann Susi, 1952-2014
of Carol Ann Susi, the actress who voiced the unseen character of Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg)'s harridan mom on The Big Bang Theory. I've long been a fan of Carol Ann's, and was thrilled a few years back when I got the chance to interview her for a CBS Watch! magazine story about the secretaries of Murphy Brown.
With a long resume in both TV and film, Carol Ann was one of those character actresses with such perfect comic timing, you knew the moment you spotted her in something you'd be in for a laugh. She was Michael J. Fox's secretary Jean in The Secret to My Succe$s, and a psychiatric patient in Death Becomes Her. She made her TV debut with three episodes of Kolchak: The Night Stalker in 1974, and never stopped working since, popping up in all my favorite comedies of the last few decades. I still laugh out loud when I think back to her hilarious appearance as Maya's (Laura San Giacomo) crazy neighbor Mrs. Boukidis on a 1998 episode of Just Shoot Me.
I had the pleasure of running into Carol Ann quite a few times since my move to LA last fall, including just a few months ago, immediately following a live taping of Big Bang on the Warner Brothers lot. Her death comes as a shock to all of us who loved her work, including her millions of Big Bang devotees around the world.

On August 13 2015 the Federal Circuit, sitting en banc, issued a unanimous decision setting forth new law on when performance of a method claim by multiple parties constitutes direct infringement under 35 USC § 271(a).
Akamai Technologies Inc owned a patent covering a method for efficiently delivering web content by, among other things, placing content on a set of replicated servers and modifying the provider's web page to instruct web browsers to retrieve content from those servers.
Limelight Networks Inc maintained a network of servers and similarly allowed for efficient content delivery by placing some content elements on its servers and instructing its customers to modify their web pages, rather than Limelight itself modifying the content provider's web pages. Thus, neither Limelight nor its customers individually performed all steps of the patented method.
Akamai first sued Limelight on September 5 2006. In 2008 a jury trial found Limelight liable for patent infringement. However, the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts entered judgment post-verdict holding that Limelight had not infringed Akamai's patent.(1)
On appeal to the Federal Circuit, a panel first affirmed the trial court, holding that there can be joint infringement only when there is an agency relationship between the parties that perform the method steps or a contractual relationship between the parties.(2) However, on August 31 2012 the Federal Circuit reheard the case en banc and reversed the prior panel decision, holding that there could be liability for inducing infringement under 35 USC § 271(b) without the need to show direct infringement under 35 USC § 271(a) as a predicate.(3)
On June 2 2014 the Supreme Court reversed the Federal Circuit's decision, holding that Limelight's conduct did not amount to inducing infringement because there was no finding of direct infringement, as required by binding precedent.(4) The Supreme Court declined to review the merits of the Federal Circuit's prior decision in Muniauction Inc v Thomson Corp(5) that there can be no direct infringement unless one defendant actually performed all the claimed method steps or directed or controlled others that performed them, noting that on remand "the Federal Circuit will have the opportunity to revisit the Section 271(a) question if it so chooses".
Following remand to the Federal Circuit, a divided panel issued a decision on May 13 2015 holding that there was no direct infringement by Limelight under 35 USC § 271(a).(6) The basis of the decision was that Limelight did not perform all steps of the claimed method and the practice of all steps could not be attributed to Limelight because the case did not involve agency, contract or joint enterprise.
Akamai petitioned for rehearing en banc of that decision. The Federal Circuit granted the petition and on August 13 2015 issued its en banc opinion.
The full court vacated the panel decision, reversed the district court judgment and reinstated the jury verdict, holding that an entity will be responsible for others' performance of method steps where:
- that entity directs or controls others' performance; and
- the actors form a joint enterprise.
The full court noted in this regard that, to the extent that the prior decision in Golden Hour Data Systems Inc v emsCharts Inc(7) was inconsistent with this holding, "that aspect of Golden Hour is overruled".
Regarding the first point, the full court expressly stated that "Section 271(a) is not limited solely to principal-agent relationships, contractual arrangements, and joint enterprise, as the vacated panel decision held". Rather, the full court held that an actor is also liable for direct infringement if the alleged infringer:
- "conditions participation in an activity or receipt of a benefit upon performance of a step or steps of a patented method"; and
- "establishes the manner or timing of that performance".
The full court added that, insofar as its prior cases "formed the predicate for the vacated panel decision, those decisions are also overruled".
Applying these principles to the facts of the case, the court held that there was substantial evidence from which a jury could find that Limelight had directed or controlled its customers' performance of each method step such that all steps of the method were attributable to Limelight; thus, Limelight had directly infringed Akamai's patent.
Specifically, the court found that Limelight had conditioned customers' use of its content delivery network on their performance of certain tagging and serving steps and established the manner or timing of their performance. The court noted that Limelight had all customers sign a contract requiring them to provide it with all cooperation and information reasonably necessary for it to implement the content delivery service. Additionally, on completing a deal with Limelight, Limelight sent a welcome letter to customers instructing them how to use the service and noting that a technical account manager employed by it would lead the implementation of its services. Limelight also instructed users on an integration process that included the tagging step and provided engineers if the customer experienced any problems. If customers did not follow these steps, Limelight's service would be unavailable.
The en banc court concluded that Akamai presented substantial evidence from which a jury could find that Limelight had directly infringed Akamai's patent.
Apart from the full court remanding to the three-member appellate panel for resolution of remaining issues, it will be interesting to see whether this en banc decision is the conclusive appellate word on the case. It will also be interesting to see the ramifications of the case as its holding is applied to other fact patterns in the future.

Irina Shayk wears all-white for this minimalistic Vogue Mexico January 2014. It's a new year and if you believe what they say about Labor Day, it's time to break out your white clothing. The styling in this David Roemer photo shoot is super fresh. Monochromatic outfits are shot against a plain light blue background or in black and white.
Although a colorless fashion shoot doesn't sound too exciting, it is not the hues that are meant to pique your interest, it's the superb construction. Some of the designers featured in this Vogue Mexico January 2014 editorial are Marchesa, Philip Lim, Bluemarine and Barbara Bui. The high quality pedigree comes through in the unique cut of the garments. Lots of little details and quality construction make this minimalist pictorial visually fascinating.

For his second solo album, Ringo set about issuing an album of country songs.
While Ringo was performing drum duties for George's album All Things Must Pass, he met pedal steel guitarist Pete Drake, with whom he developed a good friendship through discussions about country and western music, of which Starr was a big fan. Along with Peter Drake came his friend Chuck Howard, with whom Ringo discussed the possibility of working together in the future, to which Howard said he and his friends could write and record material for Starr to choose from.
I find it strange that it came out two months before All Things Must Pass, but it obviously did. Perhaps the fact that All Things was a triple album meant that more time was required to get that album prepared. In this way, Ringo released two solo albums in 1970 before John or George had released even one.
What Ringo got was a great set of tunes written by some fantastic country music writers, and with performances from some of the best Country backing musicians of the time. DJ Fontana, The Jordanaires, Charlie McCoy, Jerry Reed, and Pete Drake himself, to name just a few. Unlike the sessions for Sentimental Journey however, here Ringo could join in on the proceedings more by actually playing on the songs. He plays drums and guitar on the album as well.
|Group shot
Now I wasn't initially going to discuss the songwriting of anyone outside of the ex-Beatles foursome, but after looking online at other blogs, I thought that this album had been given short shrift, and well it does seem that no one has looked into it in that much detail. The fact of the matter is that it is very difficult to find anything about the songs themselves other than scant details, which is a shame because it is actually a really good country album. In essence I sort of see Sentimental Journey as an early form of karaoke where the music was recorded already, with Starr just having to show up to sing. Here however he got to join in as a fellow musician sometimes (where and when we can't be sure of). So I have decided for that purpose that I would break that rule and look into the songs, but I am not giving them as much as I would normally to songs because in truth they aren't written by the ex-members.
|The Jordanaires (with Elvis Presley)
The opening song of the album is the Buzz Rabin composed title song, which Buzz himself had previously issued as a single (I can't find any more information than that out, so if anyone knows more then that would be most helpful). Chord wise this is a very simple three chord trick (E, A & B), but a very well crafted one. In song writing terms it doesn't really matter how simple or difficult a piece is. After all, Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles (written by John) only has two chords (rather than just the one C chord as McCartney said in the Anthology).
This song is a beautifully melancholic tune that has an arrangement perfectly suited to Starr's delivery. The playing, as with virtually the whole album, is absolutely first rate, which would be expected from seasoned session musicians in the world of Country music. These guys proved that they had the chops. I think it is great that the song actually finishes on the A major chord, rather than the root of the song - E major.
The second song on the set is Love Don't Last Long written by Chuck Howard. As with quite a bit of country music, it is an incredibly sad song, this time talking about the tragic side to love. For the most part the song is essentially four chords (C, F, Dm, and G), but then after the second verse it moves up a tone (D, G, Em and A).
|Guitarist/Actor/Singer Jerry Reed
Fastest Growing Heartache In The West, the third song, is written by Larry Kingston and Fred Dycus, both of whom had already written for artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, and Crystal Gayle. Most of these mentioned are for Larry Kingston, whereas Dycus was an occasional collaborator. All the same, here is one of a three songs that Kingston had a hand in writing for this album.
Again the song is a very downbeat look at the tragic side to love. The song is in Bb, made up of the chords Bb, Eb minor, F, and C minor.
The fourth song on the set is the first of four songs written by Sorrells Pickard, entitled Without Her. Another song that is basically in the scale of C major, and a song about a lost love. It is actually a verse/chorus pattern, with the verse working on a C | F | C | C | G | F | C | C. The chorus is G | F | C, then the simple but great run of G | F | Em | C | G, followed then by a line of C, a line of F, and another line of C to get back into the verse.
|Pedal steel player Pete Drake
The song uses the same pattern throughout, and is again in the key of C major. Here there are two runs of C to F as an intro, followed by the pattern C | F | G | F twice, then Dm | G | F | F | Dm | C | G | G. That is the same all the way through, albeit with a fantastic push in the chord when playing the C | F | G | F, where the second F chord is played slightly later in the syncopated G to F change. A really well observed lyric, with a very strong subject matter for the time considering that a lot of music at the time, including country & western and rock 'n' roll, was very sexist to a point. The woman in question also seems to be happy that she is getting by in the world, even though it ins't the greatest job in the world. She has pride in the fact that she is earning money and living - "She wakes to find no sign of appreciation, still she isn't wearing any shame." It's a dark world she lives in, and it doesn't hide that fact.
The next part of this blog will look at songs six to ten, which includes another of Sorrells Pickard's four songs on the album , the two others that Larry Kingston has been involved in the writing of, another two of the four that Chuck Howard has been involved in the writing of (one of which is a a co-writing with Larry Kingston), and a cracking song written by Bobby Pierce.

Here are some of the recent appointments to make a smooth transition and of course, the constant complaining about choices made.
I would just love it if people started to "suck it up" and give someone that has been running for the highest office in land a brake! ~ This president elect needs to take a vacation and spend quality time with his family before the inauguration, because as the current president stated: "we want this new administration to hit the ground running" by promising a smooth transition.
Obama has been running a magnificent, worthy of emulation, grass root campaign. If nothing else makes it into the history books, this definitely is something worthy of admiration from an organizational and tactical point of view.
From Politico.com we get the following information:
Robert Gibbs, a top aide to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on his campaign and in his Senate office, will be named the White House press secretary, a top Democratic official said. Gibbs was usually the senior official on Air Obama, the campaign plane. As communications director of Obama's Senate office, Gibbs was a key strategist in Obama's rapid move to the national stage.
Transition planning is still at an early stage and the job has not been formally offered or accepted, officials said....
Mr. Emmanuel is the new chief of staff and he is the new red meat for the so called "republican party"
The full report can be read in the CBS website , below is an excerpt:
Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., sponsor of the de-funding amendment, noted that five years ago Cheney claimed executive privilege in refusing to release details about his meetings with oil industry executives to discuss energy policy. "Now when we want to know what he's doing as it relates to America's national security in the lead-up to the war in Iraq and after the fact, the vice president has declared he is a member of the legislative branch." Therefore, Emanuel said, "we will no longer fund the executive branch of his office and he can live off the funding for the Senate presidency." The vice president presides as president of the Senate. Hoyer, asked if the amendment would pass, said, "I don't know about that." But he said "we shouldn't fund him in both branches. I think there's going to be consideration of an amendment and that will be discussed." Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., speaking Sunday on Fox News Sunday, said Cheney's move was "the height of arrogance." She said it might not be a bad idea that money for Cheney's office be held up until he decides whether or not he's in the executive branch. Cheney's spokesperson Lea Anne McBride said Emanuel's amendment was "pure politics."
Why did I say: "the so called Republican Party?".
Because it is not the party of most republicans. It needs to be renamed to the "Evangelical Party".
Many Republicans would agree that the Republican party was the party of self determination, little to government involvement in people's lives and had a fierce determination in protecting individuals rights and privacy.
This has not been the case in the past 8 years. The Republicans have seen something in this administration that to their core, they repudiate and made them blush in embarrassment. Not a single Democratic Administration could equal the excess of wanton greed, lack of accountability and complete disregard for the laws of the land that the current Bush Administration has exhibited.
It is unfortunate, because the new generation does not know the real republicans. They were the types that one could admire at many levels by their ability to succeed by their own efforts without trampling over the rights and hard work of others.
Some of us old-timers remember that party. This new generation knows the Republican party as the "wing nuts", "the religious freaks". They are viewed as fanatical radicals that are foaming at the mouth with anger and hatred not because a black man is the new president, but because this new president will set back all their hard work to take over our government.
When someone insist that Christianity be part of the equation in government, we have lost something we thought we had on pretty solid standing: Separation of Church and State.
This separation was done on purpose, to protect one from the other. So far, the protection to the religious right has not wavered from the government's point of view. There has been no intrusion and no taxation.
However, the Religious right has done their best to infiltrate their agendas into the political arena with the audacity that a civil servant MUST prove its Christian faith.
THERE should be no religious litmus test. We need our government officials to live 2 separate lives; one of public service to all and, one of personal private faith. One should not taint the other. This is the only way to serve ALL the people, not just the privileged few.
It is the height of arrogance to have these "talking heads" pass judgment on those seeking office based on their religious agendas. I ask you, who made these people an authority in these matters?
It is unbelievable to me that someone like Glen Beck, who is on television with his own show and on CNN could be so arrogant to make the statement that Conservatives (you know, the REAL ones) voted for McCain with the expectation that he would die in office and they would have Palin (someone who can be manipulated by the religious right) in his stead.
You can listen to it here.
And here is the transcript:
Today, radical right-wing blog Red State launched "Project Leper," an attempt to professionally punish McCain staffers whom Red State's Erick Erickson perceives to have wronged Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK). Erikson told Glenn Beck today, "Palin was the best thing that happened to" the McCain campaign. To which, Beck agreed, saying many conservatives told him they supported McCain in hopes he would die in office:
BECK: I mean, I have to tell you if I heard once, I heard 1,000 times from people, and I never said this, never said this on the air because you just don't say these things, but I heard a million times from people, "I'm going to vote for John McCain and, you know, I mean, he's old. Maybe we get Sarah Palin in the first term." You know what I mean?
ERICKSON: Exactly
This is disgusting and the implications of the total disregard for our government and for people who are not like them is downright frightening.
I am delighted that this time around we said NO to these types of agendas. My guess is that after we allowed these people to run our government into the ground, we had ENOUGH!.
Let's face it, if you believe the "end of days" is coming soon and you'll be ascending into the heavens you don't care much how you rape and pillage this earth, since you are not vested in its wellness or the remainder of humanity. (We don't get a one way ticket, we get to stay here).
What is OPERATION LEPER?
It is a movement to protect Sarah Palin as a viable candidate for 2012 and to eradicate any republican official from future office. Not because they are not good republicans but because they are not towing the new party line, the evangelical and radical agenda.
Make no mistake, Sarah Palin has proven herself to be the perfect candidate on two counts; the right to life and the right to bear arms. Period. That is all that is required to lead these people and this country.
No, you don't need to know anything about other countries because they don't matter, we like being isolationist (did you not know this?). We are Mavericks (we do as we please and don't bother with the possible consequences). We insist that those below us are more godly in their behaviour than God, but those above them are not subject to the same rules.
Family values are very strict and everyone who raises their children properly would make them proud of their new batch of "Christian Soldiers" (I repudiate this label with every inch of my intellect).
Jesus Christ was the ultimate social reformer and the kindness and love towards ALL people has never been equaled by any other figure in history. (maybe Ghandi or Mother Teresa, but no one has had as much grip on the human soul and social conciense).
In my opinion, the Religious Right is WRONG and does not speak for Christ or in his stead. HE would be appalled by what has been done in HIS name and the way these people live their lives in hypocrisy.
Remember Palin's daughter? It is okay for her to be pregnant out of wedlock (as well as Palin herself with their first child), but your daughter is nothing more than a whore and you are a lousy parent (should you find yourself in the same situation).
The difference between these types of people and those who are more broad minded is that we know that things do happen, things that are not planned for and that is just a fact of life. We roll with the punches and make the best out of difficult situations.
We don't pass judgment. It is what it is and we are okay with it.
When we do raise our voices to object is when they are calling other people names and while being smirky and derogatory towards others who are in those situations. Then we start comparing apples to apples and they get mad and start taking names, making a list and checking it twice.
This link will take you a short version and sources are highlighted in blue.
I feel sorry for Mrs. Palin. No one should be used and abused to serve other people's agendas and I find her to be very persuadable because of her deep convictions in her religious beliefs. Unfortunately, she is not well versed in the larger world environment that in this day and age, is a must to hold any political office.
Many bloggers on cyberspace are better informed than she seems to be.
Apparently our tax dollars is a major cornucopia and with Thanksgiving around the corner.... you would think they would get down on their knees and give thanks to... YOU, the taxpayer.
Instead, they are going to have a wonderful holiday season by using YOUR money to give themselves dividends, salary increases, golden parachutes and whatever tickles their fancy.
The credit to the banks has been eased to the point of being a joke, but to the consumer? no, not to the consumer, they have better and bigger things to do with YOUR money, like purchasing other banks who are in trouble and re-enacting the underwater drama of big fish eats little fish.
In this game, you and I are the plankton, so thus far, we have not entered the picture.
You can read all about it here and don't be shocked if your credit rating is fantabulous and you are having a hard time getting the bank to refinance your home, getting a home equity or car loan, or just getting a better rate on your credit card, because the banks have not extended these courtesy to their customers, just each other.
Did you think we were out of the woods? That Bush had packed his bags and was going to disappear quietly into the night?
We could only hope.
Unfortunately, there are a three months or so, left in this "free for all" administration and they have put on their roller skates and are racing towards a big finish.
What now?, you ask.....
Since we have screwed up the government and the Constitution, now we have to screw up the environment to the best of our abilities. The Bush Administration is rushing to relax environmental protections to benefit the power plants and the mining of uranium and coal near National parks.
If you are concerned about these further deregulation, you may want to read all about it in greater detail here.
PEACE to all

Global Shipping Community honours Dr. Suresh Idnani at ILO - Geneva for
"Outstanding Service to Seafarers' Welfare"
12th December 2011, Geneva
The winners of the 2011 International Seafarers' Welfare Awards were announced last night during a high profile ceremony at the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva. The ceremony, which took place on the opening night of the Maritime Labour Convention tripartite meeting, was hosted by Mr Michael Grey, ex Editor of Lloyds List and attended by a number of key figures in the industry, including Mr Arthur Bowring, Managing Director, Hong Kong Ship Owners Association and Mr David Cockroft, General Secretary of the International Transport Workers Federation.
The winners are:
Commenting on the evening Roger Harris, ICSW Executive Director, said: "Tonight has been a real celebration of not just the winners but all those who are committed to the welfare of seafarers. Sadly the welfare of seafarers continues to bottom of the list of priorities for some companies and ports so it is important that we come together to celebrate the work that is setting the standards that others can aspire to. I would like to congratulate our winners, thank the ILO for hosting us and all of our sponsors for their financial support but most of all I would like to thank all of the seafarers from around the world who continue to work in challenging environments to keep the global economy moving."
Keith Parsons, Group HR Director at V Ships, the sponsors of the awards ceremony added: "It is important that the vital role played by officers and ratings is given the recognition it deserves. This is particularly true given that this profession is subjected to the ongoing threat of piracy at a time when the shipping industry is under increasing pressure to perform. The success of V Ships could never have been achieved without the enormous contribution of the seafarers who keep our managed fleet operational 24/7. We recognise that many seafarers, support organisations and shipping companies go that 'extra mile' on a regular basis and we are pleased to be able to be part of this celebration."
David Cockroft, Secretary of the ITF Seafarers' Trust, who also sponsored the awards, said "we are committed to improving conditions for seafarers, both in terms of their welfare through the Seafarers' Trust and in their living and working conditions through the ITF. We have long supported seafarer centres and the excellent work they do, but this initiative to recognise employers and ports for their contribution to seafarers' welfare is new. The shortlisted applicants for these awards were all very impressive, and we would like to see all employers and ports reach these standards of care. Holding this ceremony in the ILO, with implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention very close, is a reminder of the importance of the work all of us are engaged in to provide a safer, healthier and better environment for seafarers."
This year's judges were Mr Spyros M Polemis, President of the International Shipping Federation, Mr David Cockcroft, General Secretary of the International Transport Workers' Federation, Mr Michael Grey MBE, the distinguished maritime journalist & ex-editor of Lloyds List and Mr Douglas Stevenson, Chairman of the International Christian Maritime Association.
Other supporters of this year's awards include InterManager, International Shipping Federation, TeeKay Shipping, the ITF Seafarers' Trust, the International Maritime Organisation, International Labour Organisation, the International Shipping Federation, the International Transport Workers' Federation and the International Christian Maritime Association.
This year the judges have decided to present a Special Award for Outstanding Services to Seafarers' Welfare to Dr. Suresh Narain Idnani.
Dr. Idnanis' career spans three decades of practical experience and training in the areas of seafarers' health and welfare. He was elected the President of the International Maritime Health Association (IMHA) for a second term and is responsible for developing international relations for the Association. With the IMHA team, he is also working to develop a quality assurance accreditation scheme in maritime health. For four years he ran the South Asia Programme of the International Committee on Seafarers' Welfare.
A colleague said of him "He took up this somewhat thankless task in South Asia at a time when few people were aware of the importance of the issue [of seafarers' welfare]. As a result of his continuous follow up, efficient delivery systems for seafarers' welfare were established all over the region. More than ten port welfare committees now function in India, the Colombo Port of Sri Lanka leads the way in Welfare matters and countries such as Bangladesh and Pakistan are now on the Welfare map."
Dr. Idnani is a trained and certified ship visitor from the Nautical Institute. He was a workshop leader at the Lloyds Conference in Manila in Nov 2006. In 2009, he organized the 10th International Symposium on Maritime Health (ISMH10) in Goa India, which addressed important issues in seafarers' welfare and health including the Global Partnership on HIV and Seafarers along with the ILO, IOM, ITF, ISF and UNAIDS. He is also assisting with the implementation of the ILO MLC 2006; and more recently, with the 2010 IMO STCW revision on matters relating to seafarers' health and welfare.
He holds academic positions with the University of Tarragona in Spain, Lloyd's Maritime Academy and the National Sea Training Centre. He has written a chapter on seafarers' welfare in a textbook on maritime medicine.
Dr. Suresh Idnani, winner of the Special Award for Outstanding Services to Seafarers' Welfare Said:
Thank you for honouring me with this most special Award. I would also like to thank the ICSW, the IMHA, the ITF, the ISF, the ILO and the IMO. I accept this great honour with humility.
I have an abiding faith in seafarers and a great belief in the seafaring industry. After three decades of working in maritime medicine, the well-being of seafarers, their good health and welfare, and the welfare of their families remains my driving passion. The lure of the sea and the endurance of its men and women continue to inspire me every day. But this is not the end of our voyage. If anything, it's the beginning. Everywhere, our culture is fragmenting. Much still needs to be done, especially, in the key areas of work stress, piracy, ship-visiting, counseling and maritime education. None of us should rest our laurels.
Finally I would like to thank my beloved family, my wife Corinne and my two sons Nikhil and Varun. They are the strength behind my dreams and the wind beneath my sails.

On Demand is awesome, and I like having access to it. The system makes it a lot simpler to input data into the system, and input our customer base and recipes. It's so simple to do it here at the computer versus out at the system on the monitor.
Research Triangle Park, NC (PRWEB) August 29, 2012
After only one growing season using the On Demand® system, Bruce Blume of Blume Seeds Inc., believes it is one of the most effective systems on the market. Now, with the launch of the revamped Bayer CropScience equipment website and launch of the online learning module, treating seeds and running his business have become even easier.
"On Demand is awesome, and I like having access to it. The system makes it a lot simpler to input data into the system, and input our customer base and recipes. It's so simple to do it here at the computer versus out at the system on the monitor," says Blume.
The new seed treatment equipment website features fully updated information for Bayer's seed treatment suite of services including On Demand, commercial batch treaters and downstream drum treaters.
Current and prospective users of Bayer seed treatment equipment can visit the website to review Bayer's equipment catalog, find solutions for specific crops, keep up with crop news and events, reach customer support or find the appropriate seed treatment system based on unique needs.
"Feeding our hungry planet starts with protecting a farmers' seeds from day one. We are a leader within the industry supporting customers with high-quality seed, innovative seed treatment products, application equipment, film coatings, technical support and training," stressed Matthias Haug, Global head of Seed Treatment at Bayer CropScience
Bayer's integrated approach offers sustainable systems and solutions and training for meeting the needs of a changing agricultural world. On Demand from Bayer helps ensure seed treatments such as Poncho/VOTiVO are applied correctly and consistently, resulting in healthier plant establishment. Bayer works with treaters and growers, locally and globally, to provide the best treated seeds, for customers.
This month, Bayer also launched Poncho/VOTiVO online learning module for growers, agronomists and seed retailers. Focused on Poncho/VOTiVO's advantages and seed treatment product stewardship, the online module provides information that allows growers and seed retailers to succeed. The online learning module focuses on four key areas including: Poncho/VOTiVO; Performance Advantages of Poncho/VOTiVO; On Demand (including a two-minute video that talks through the advantages of the equipment and how it all ties back into seed treatment); and Stewardship.
Blume anticipates using the newly designed equipment website after successful prior experiences setting up his system and inputting data. Using the website adds critical value to his business by saving him time and the headache of trying to find the information he needs.
The new equipment portal can be viewed at http://www.BayerCropScience.us/products/seed-treatment-equipment/. The online learning module will be hosted on the http://www.BayerCropScience.us as part of the Learning Center.

Welcome to Leon Woodhead Joinery | Over 30 years experience creating Bespoke Furniture
Joinery is not my job, it is my passion. I am proud that I can create something from scratch that will be used in a customer's home. Bespoke kitchens, bedrooms and furniture are my main speciality.

Wow...what great treasures!! How good do those galvanised tubs look hanging up in that photo, they look in good condition too! I love galvanised tubs, I have three planted with pansies and one hanging off the back fence. Love the chicken feeder too!ReplyDelete
I love to see stuff in old barns! Love all those tubs and... well, I was going to name off all the stuff I love, but that would be everything you showed! :~P That would have been a great show to attend! Wish I could have been there!ReplyDelete
A barn full of treasures, how wonderful to be able to rummage around in there.ReplyDelete
I am drooling over all these wonderful treasures!ReplyDelete

Tonight is hard for me, but most of this year has not been. However challenging the challenges. However disappointed my expectations. However betrayed my trust, there were more moments of my being fully present with myself with joy and delight to lament tonight's reality as if the whole of the year was so terribly miserable.
Tonight is hard for me because the plans I made and the dreams I shared were found to be insufficient for another. Clear that my dreams and plans were not inherently insufficient, their not being found sufficient for another does not diminish them or me as good, viable, profitable, pure, just, equitable, desirable, doable, hopeful and gracefilled. That my plans have changed gives room for perfected plans for my life.
Tonight is hard for me because change happened swiftly and unexpectedly. Tonight is less hard for me because this year with me was wonderful and I find myself looking back and laughing, looking forward and holding on this truth that has never failed me:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." / Jeremiah 29:11
So, honestly, tonight is hard for me, but not impossible or hopeless. And, tonight is less hard for me because the whole of 2011 included many beautiful places that now serve as balm; and because I know the plans I see are myopic on the landscape of the plans God beholds for me in 2012!

Gurgaon, India
The most amazing thing about UFO was the flexibility shown to accommodate very quick changes to the itinerary. Instead of going to Nubra Valley as per the itinerary, we decided to go to Pangong and requested them to make the change the same morning we were supposed to leave for Nubra. Their response time to make the change was just 10 minutes. We had an amazing trip with UFO and will look forward to another holiday with them. A special mention for the driver - Karma Bhai - a thoroughly nice person, who enhanced the experience of the trip.
Amritsar, India
I love traveling and for me it had always been more about where I'm going than who I'm traveling with until i came across UFO. Traveling to a place I'v never been to before is exciting. I go with my instinct , have faith and trust the people I encounter along the way. However traveling with UFO to a place like Nagaland was a very enriching experience for me as i realized that traveling with a well seasoned team that goes out of its way to make your trip adventurous and fun is way better than traveling alone and wasting your time getting lost and figuring things out on your own. We camped at a site that was walking distance from the Hornbill Festival and went to Dzukou Valley on our second day.I was trekking after a long time and did not know what to expect. I don't think i would have managed spending a night at the Valley had the team not been with me. I had a splitting headache as we got there and they got me a pain killer. They had also carried an extra sleeping bag and got me blankets so i could be comfortable at night. The team was very helpful and considerate through out the 5 days that i spent with them in Nagaland. Their itinerary was perfect. It covered everything from trekking , camping to attending the hornbill festival and trying different kinds of food. We lit a bonfire and played music every night. It was amazing and I will definitely be traveling with them again :)
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
For a first-time trekker, I thought picking Mt. Kilimanjaro was maybe not the smartest choice. But thanks to UFO it felt like a breeze. The guides and crew were excellent in every single way. For a group of 8 trekkers, UFO deputed a total of 40 including 4 experienced guides, cooks, servers and porters. I was scared that for an 8 day trek the food might be an issue, but hats off to the chef. I don't think there was a single day where I didn't take a second helping. We got 3 hot meals served to us almost every single day. And trust me on this, after a tiring day of trekking the food is what you really look forward to the most. The guides were very experienced and helpful throughout the trek, especially on the final day where they kept encouraging you to push yourself to reach the summit. If you are thinking of conquering the Roof of Africa, I would definitely recommend using UFO as your adventure guides. They prepare you for every step of the way - from buying your trekking gear to getting you safely back down. Cheers UFO!
Mumbai, India
I traveled with Ultimate Frontier Outlands (UFO) for the trek from Tso Kar to Tso Moriri. We were 5 friends in all and had an amazing experience right from the beginning at our pick up from the airport. We were put up at a spacious yet cosy and comfortable hotel in the Leh and were advised and make sure that we were well acclimatized in the first few days through walking and cycling activities. Our trek crew and guide were very professional in their work and went out of the way to help us. Safety and security was in place and we had an oxygen cylinder and an extra mule for our convenince. We crossed three 5000m + passes on this trek and were rewarded with some awesome food throughout the trek. Pizza and banana pie at 5000m !! Is there anything more to say?? Will definitely travel with UFO and their team again and recommend them to everyone who wants to experience the wilderness and culture of Ladakh!
New Delhi, India
Always wanted to travel to the North East of India and finally did when i signed up for Adventure Meghalaya with Ultimate Frontier Outlands (UFO Adventure Travel). We started our holiday spelunking(caving) in Mawmluh cave, Cherrapunjee. It was quiet an experience walking 150 m below sea level and wading through pools underground. We spotted bats, crayfish and various shapes of stalactites and stalagmites. A trek to the Living root bridges in Nongriat village was finally ticked off my bucket list and camping next to Rainbow waterfall was amazing. Next was canyoning at Mawlongbna, a quaint village near the Bangladesh border. Swimming through potholes and streams and climbing down waterfalls all the way to the Umkhakoi reservoir was so much fun!! UFO services were upto the mark with their meals, attention to detail and professional approach!! Will definitely recommend traveling the North East India with UFO.
Kolkata, India
Let me start by introducing myself. I am a mom of three under 5 and a baker. So fitness took a back seat for me for a long time with everything else taking priority. When I did start trying to get fit again, I thought of doing a trek to challenge myself. A friend recommended I book the trek through UFO, knowing well that I was not made to slum it out. (Lol) And I did! The next few months went in training for the trek as advised by the organizers. They kept in touch with us over email to keep reminding us to train and to help us out with our bookings and other minute details that first time trekkers normally need to research on their own. When we got there, they received us at the airport and put up a little cultural show for us in the hotel because we were meant to relax on day 1 to acclimatize better. On Day 2 we went on an acclimatization walk and visited the sights of the leh city.. to be received at the end of the walk by a bunch of warm people and an amazing barbecue lunch in a picnic setting. (Hadn't done a picnic in while without my kids around and I have to admit it felt very good) Day 3 we started our trek from Rumste to Tso kar. We trekked and camped for 3 days and 4 nights (they organized 2 nights of camping for us at the end of the trek so we could soak in the beautiful views of the lake). The trek made me experience views that are completely bookmarked in my head and very difficult for me to forget. The camping experience was nothing close to what I was expecting. Not only did we get hot meals but there was a selection of menus with different cuisines to choose from everyday. Also the dessert after every meal !! We got caramelised Bananas/ halwa/ fresh gulab jamuns- really could not have asked for more. Coming from Calcutta the temperature at the camp was hard to get used to but they set up bonfires and did barbecues every other night so it made it much more relaxed. I can go on and on but to cut it short, as a first time trekker I could not ask for more. Thank you team UFO for an experience that is going to stay with me for a long long time !
Dehradun, India
UFO are great partners when seeking adventure. I did an expedition to Mentok Kangri in Ladakh, day hike to the double living root bridge in Cherrapunji, Meghalaya and camping in Hemis national park in Ladakh. UFO are very hospitable in accommodating their guests specially at high altitudes. The information they provide is precise and helpful for the arduous journies. Cusine they provide is delicious having eaten the most scrumptious pizza at fifteen thousand feet. All the staff are friendly and cordial and they do go out of the way to help. The owner even carried a tent for me on our hike and camp to Rumbak village, a great personalised service. When one feels adventurous and needs thrills just follow the feather.
Sonepat, India
I joined UFO on their Twin Peaks initiative in Ladakh and the experience could not have been better curated. From the start of the trip till the very end, everything was well organised to meet the best quality standards. The team is beautifully welcoming and cheerful! What started off as a bunch of strangers on a clean up drive and a summit expedition returned as great buddies with memories to cherish for a lifetime. The tents, food, and the management was top notch. The guides and trip leads were extremely experienced and accommodating. The kitchen team did wonders with the best meals and surprise treats every now and then. The itinerary was well planned to suit the high altitude while not leaving a single moment to waste. UFO beat my expectations and I can't wait to join them on more journeys.
London , United Kingdom
Joined this great trip combining cleaning up base camps, and also summit two peaks from Stok Kangri base camp. Was very well organised, and most of all a great group of people! Was a wonderful few days spent with these guys. Great food, great company, and a great challenge! The trip is firmly etched in my memory as a highlight of that year!

text: To give you all a little update on the housing situation, the original realtor has been in touch and wants to come over to take pictures. As it turns out, the funding company is going to sell the condo occupied. So it looks like we'll have to pay rent to whom ever buys it, then we'll probably have to move out when the lease ends, which is Sept. 30, five days before our wedding. I don't think I'll want to add the stress of moving to the stress I'll already be under. So most likely we'll try to move before that. Do you have any idea how extremely angry all of this makes me? Apartment hunting, again!?!?! Boo 🙁
