A new study on fracking from supposed health professionals is a collection of anecdotes and assertions that should be called “100 or So Lies About Fracking”.
collection of allegations and anecdotes; the sort of pseudoscience we’ve come to expect from this gang. Their latest report is pompously titled as a Compendium of Scientific, Medical , and Media Findings Demonstrating Risks and Harms of Fracking (Unconventioanl Gas and Oil Extraction).
It might better be called 100 or So Lies About Fracking. Sandra Steingraber (pictured doing one of her schticks), uses natural gas to heat her home in Trumansburg, NY, and was the ringleader, which was hardly a surprise.
Nowhere in this report did I the reader find any evidence of evidence that came from a unbiased source study. Much of the material consists of self authored rhetoric from 30 More Days of Fracking, or New York Residents Against Fracking, which are anything but reliable sources as their aim is simply to stop natural gas development in New York or anywhere else.
There is no evidence in the compendium to support this allegation, other than references to some junk science reports that have been previously debunked; no scientific backup. There is, though, considerable evidence contradicting everything Steingraber and company assert and it’s available online. Check out this set of charts comparing Bradford County, Pennsylvania air pollution levels in 2006 (pre-drilling era) and 2012. No county in Pennsylvania has more Marcellus Shale wells than Bradford.
Fracking itself has never contaminated water sources or aquifers as Lisa Jackson, former head of the EPA, testified at congressional hearings in 2011. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has also said “I still have not seen any evidence of fracking per se contaminating groundwater.” No one denies surface contamination can occur if fluids are illegally disposed of, if their is an equipment failure, or operator negligence. Or, that methane migration issues can’t be aggravated by drilling in some instances.
The report notes “Schlumberger, one of the world’s largest companies specializing in fracking, published an article in its magazine in 2003 showing that about five percent of wells leak immediately, 50 percent leak after 15 years and 60 percent leak after 30 years.” This information is true, but what is conveniently or accidently left out is that these numbers include off-shore oil and gas production which is done under water and has a higher failure rate. Additionally, the Ground Water Protection Council has also done extensive reviews of data from more than 220,000 wells in Ohio and Texas and found failure rates of only 0.03% in the former and 0.01% in the latter.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection says there have been no red flags in their monitoring of radioactive elements in waste from Marcellus Shale development. The NYS-DEC has also addressed concerns over radioactive waste cuttings from the Marcellus Shale in it’s SGEIS. See here, here and here. It’s a non-issue.
OSHA regulations apply to operations on a well pad and, as I noted earlier here, oil and gas extraction, combined with the support activities connected with it, has had fewer total fatalities than agriculture or tourism. Rates of non-fatal occupational injury in the industry have averaged 1.5 per 100 full-time workers in 2012, compared to 3.5 for all industries combined. See the details here. Moreover, if we are going to compare industry dangers and death risk to workers, then let’s compare that of oil and gas to coal mining, one of the deadliest and most dangerous jobs a person may have.
Should we not work off shift factory jobs that require lighting at night? And, since when is lighting from a drilling rig, that is up for maybe two weeks at most, “chronic exposure to light”? How can anyone take this hyperbole seriously?
Where are the scientific studies that show this statement to be true as applied to gas drilling, which is a short-term activity? What were the measured parameters used in the study, was it nocturnal mice and rats or was there a study with human participants and by whom?
Drilling has been going on in America for over 100 years and although some people may be stressed over the work and noise others are not. More importantly, once a well is completed, these variables discontinue. If any stress is put on the public, it is brought on by fractivist misinformation campaigns such as this one! Consider, too, that many of us find gas drilling to be exciting and invigorating, although these dogs seem non-plussed.
Why is it so many fractivist arguments begin with “A growing body of evidence…” but are accompanied with little or no evidence? Yes, there is some evidence of a connection between wastewater injection and small earthquakes, but wastewater injection is not being proposed in New York and gas companies operating in the region are already recycling 100% of their wastewater. Finally, geothermal energy has been inducing earthquakes since the 1960s, so why isn’t this renewable energy source getting the same attention?
What relevance does this have today? We are in the age of information technology and environmental awareness were drillers are required to be permitted with comprehensive drilling plans showing depth, well pad placement, pressures, seismic anomalies, etc.. Drillers use the latest technology to check for fractures in the cement casings and mapping of the well bore. Pressure tests on completed wells are done prior to fracturing operations to identify any avenue of possible escape of the fracturing fluids before even one gallon of of the stuff is sent down a well. The pressure in a well also goes down over time, meaning it is highly unlikely to leak later if it doesn’t leak at the outset when pressure is much. much higher.
I have read the report of goats being born with just a head, but I ask how does a head develop in a womb without a heart, spine or other organs needed to develop. So, I ask where is the science and why are there no links to these wild claims that demonstrate the silliness of this contention? There is no causal evidence to support any these contentions, wild or otherwise. It should also be noted most farmers are desperate to see natural gas development move forward so they can continue to farm.
Referring to Anthony Ingraffea’s studies are questionable at best as he is an avid anti-drilling advocate funded by the Park Foundation not to find anything positive about drilling but to only come up with negative rebuttals to the science of drilling itself. The EPA and Department of Energy have both stated that converting to natural gas from coal will in fact slow down climate change, buying us more time to develop renewables and get off fossil fuels eventually.
Putting Americans to work in any state is the necessity of a nation starving for work. Making statements about the jobs all going to out-of-towners is false. The vast majority of oil and gas industry workers in Pennsylvania are local hires and they’re making excellent money.
Deborah Rogers, Arthur Berman and Chip Northrup have all tried to make this claim, but the evidence is against them. See this recent piece from my fellow guest blogger, Nick Grealy.
Never have I read a more biased statement against drilling as this one presented by Sandra Stiengraber and the Concerned Health Professionals of NY!
I see no link to blood, urine, mucus, human or animal cell studies. I see no independent lab test results. What is highly present in this paper is references to press stories and unsubstantiated claims brought forth by paid activists from New York agitating people in drilling communities to bring frivolous law suits against drilling companies simply with the promise of a big payout.
Have there been problems? Yes, of course, but the problems found in natural gas drilling are also found in wind power, solar energy and geothermal (which often uses the same fracking technology as natural gas). It is the responsibility of the New York State DEC to ensure environmental protection and they do it well. Since the 1960s, DEC has helped clean up dead lakes in the Adirondacks caused by coal-burning acid rains and mercury contamination, and the Susquehanna River where, as a child, I remember local factories in Broome County dumping hazardous waste directly into the river.
More tomorrow! Watch for Part II.
So Victor, who are we to believe? A shale gas activist landowner profiting from fracking or health professionals, scientists and medical organizations. Humm … let me think … you know what, I think I’ll believe the latter.
I can’t wait for your part II.
So, you’d prefer to take the word of an anti-shale gas activist who lives in a house heated with tracked gas and is paid by Heinz and Park, et al to push their message? Pitiful.
Ha !!! I see why Clifford Goudy is against fossil fuels. He’s afraid his funding will run out because of our discoveries of NG and how it is being used to generate power.
I didn’t say “anti-shale gas activist.” I said, “health professionals, scientists and medical organizations.” Please don’t put words in my mouth.
Vic is not profiting any more than the rest of us who own land. Thanks to the dithering of Cuomo there are no wells being drilled, no royalty money coming in, no ad velorem tax revenues for schools and towns.. So tell me how we are profiting?
The facts speak for themselves. I did not make any of my observations out of spite but spent about 15 hours reading the compendium and checking many of the references. I live in NY were good Ideas are gone through by the one percent’s who determine policy and by the time they decide drilling is ok they would have bought a few million more acres of foreclosed farms. You go ahead and comprehend this breakdown as you see fit your mind is set and closed. Whether or not I profit from gas drilling has left my mindset years ago. I fight the fight for the simple fact that I am an American Vet who sees beyond the gas issue into a issue far more important. That which I fear most is the fake fear mongering environmentalist using their fear tactics to further their socialistic agenda and imposing their ideologies onto an unsuspecting public that will not realize the agenda until to late. I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said America can only be destroyed from within. We are at the door of energy independence which in itself has more value to Americans to be a secure and safe place to live. Land rights of Americans have never been so threatened by socialist as they are today. After Natural Gas these socialist will go after logging and quarries. They would stop hunting and outlaw anything that creates jobs because these people who are fake environmentalist are controlled by the one percent who want to create two classes of Americans, Themselves and poor.
No Victor, your post is purely a combination of personal slander and half truths. I respect your interest in making America a better place but I fear you are missing two important points – 1) quality of life depends on the quality of the environment, and 2) the threat of global warming and the role fossil fuels are playing in that process are real. Wrap your mind around those two facts and you might begin to understand how misleading your posts are.
I don’t think Vic’s posts are misleading in any way and I don’t see any half-truths in them. Let’s talk facts. Point out where you think he’s wrong.
Vic Furman is dealing in facts, not the unsupported fearmongering propaganda of the anti-driller. Southern Tier landowners are sick and tired of Constitutional property rights infringement- rest assured none of us are making any money. we have been victimized by activists, celebrities, and Albany politicians like Silver and Cuomo, who turned a straightforward regulatory issue into a political firestorm, complete with the highest level NY courts ignoring existing law to legislate from the bench.
is HVHF 100% safe? no, nothing is. is burning fossil fuels ideal? no, but there are currently ZERO affordable scalable alternatives- least of which would be absurd schemes to harness wave power on a macro scale. natural gas is so important worldwide it’s Putin’s leverage over Europe and Ukraine. beating up on four little counties in NY is not going to change climate trajectory.
here’s an idea: since Andrew “I am the State” Cuomo fancies himself such a Climate Messiah, why doesn’t he start rationing or banning the use of fossil fuels right now prior to the election and see where that gets him… unelected, that’s where. Democrats are just NIMBYs.
Poor Cliff would lie if he had to tell the truth to do it. He contradicts himself in every post.

During a new interview with the Wall Street Journal this week, Dana White reaffirmed that he’s still happy in his role as the UFC President well over a year since Endeavor (formerly WME-IMG) bought the company, and also indicated that Zuffa could now look to move into boxing promotion as well.
Contractually, White is still tied to the company, but he explains that there’s far more to it than just that.
What would White do if he wasn’t at the helm at the UFC though? The answer isn’t what you might think.
It doesn’t sound like that’s something he’d be looking to pursue anytime soon though, and his role at Zuffa HQ might become even more demanding as he told the WSJ that they could look to expand their reach into the boxing world in the future.

As we anticipated, Wakaichiro’s rematch with Tokkoriki was fierce. Where Wakaichiro immediately went to high power tsuppari, Tokkoriki seemed to be trying everything to get to a slap down / pulling throw. As is frequently the case, pulling puts a rikishi’s balance far forward, and it seems Tokkoriki lost his footing.
With this win, Wakaichiro improves to 2-0, a fantastic start for the man from Texas!
That would be quite interesting, hope we did not jinx it!
A little sloppy but a win is a win, we’ll take it!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to visit my page and find out a little about me.
I am a photographer based in the south of Scotland. I started photography a bit more seriously than taking the odd snap after my father died and I discovered that I didn't have any photographs of us together. It made me realise that photography was the one true way of capturing places, moments in time and people we love.
Having sat and passed a diploma in photography in 2012, I began to explore all aspects of photography. Some results were terrible, I've improved considerably over the years.
I prefer landscape photography, but have also been fortunate to capture quite a few weddings, recording people's most special day along with family shoots so I have experience at most types of photographic work.
I have had work featured in a worldwide landscape course for the Photography Institute and also sell images through my website and Getty iStock images.
I would love to make it my full time occupation some day and so I carry on with my passion as much as I can.
Special mentions have to be made to my mother Ann, who helped me start on the journey and also my partner Mandy and daughter Millie who support me and give me encouragement when I need it.

The answer is quite simple: the Lync VDI 2013 Plugin uses the same update path as the Lync 2013 client. This means that all updates released for the Lync 2013/Skype for Business 2015 client are also applicable to the Lync VDI 2013 Plugin.
Sometimes we hear some customers say that they deploy the Lync VDI 2013 Plugin but never upgrade it.
The reason for this is that Office 2013 SP1 is a requirement in the latest Lync 2013/Skype4B updates.
Even though the Microsoft Office 2013 Language Pack Service Pack 1 (KB2817427) is a prerequisite, it doesn’t apply to the Lync VDI 2013 Plugin.
After the installation, the Lync VDI 2013 Plugin version will be 15.0.4569.1503.
Before installing the latest update, we need to make sure that the May 2015 update is also installed.
The Lync VDI 2013 Plugin version will now be 15.0.4719.1000.
The build number should be 15.0.5101.1000.
The “milestone” updates related to the Lync VDI 2013 Plugin were the Office 2013 SP1 and the May 2015 for Lync 2013/Skype for Business 2015.
After following these steps, we can apply any future updates as long as the applicable prerequisites for the new updates are also installed.

SP500 CBOE SKEW Index: Complacent Market?
That tells me that the participants are starting the hedging phase with some protective options plays with the SP500 at that level. That is not surprising because of the high uncertainties associated with international risks now (Emerging Markets, China, US Dollar...). Previous complacency time in the Mighty SP500 have been associated with lower level of SKEW - few options protection needed.
But the most interesting technical factor is that at the time when the SKEW is in grinding phase, the Mighty SP500 is at only 2.3% below the peak price reached on May 20 2015.
(See chart below - Bottom Panel - Ellipse).
But the SKEW to VIX ratio (see chart below - Red Line) is at the moment getting near a level were in the past have been associated with short term peaks in the SP500 and is now testing near the Major Resistance Trendline that started back since September 19 2014. (See chart below - Bottom Panel - Blue Trendline - Ellipse).

Bush Confesses to Waterboarding. Call D.C. Cops!
“History will not judge this kindly,” Ashcroft predicted.
“This” is torture. Against innocent people. Conducted by CIA agents and American soldiers and marines. Sanctioned by legal opinions issued by Ashcroft’s Justice Department. Directly ordered by George W. Bush.
An April 11th report by ABC News describes how CIA agents, asked by previous presidents to carry out illegal “black ops” actions (torture and killings), had become tired of getting hung out to dry whenever their dirty deeds were revealed by the press. When the Bush Administration asked the CIA to work over prisoners captured in Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere, Director George Tenet demanded legal cover. The Justice Department complied by issuing a classified 2002 memo, the so-called “Golden Shield,” authored by Office of Legal Counsel Jay Bybee. “Enhanced interrogation techniques”–i.e., torture–were legal, Bybee assured the CIA.
Tenet was a good boss, a CYA type. He wanted to protect his agents. So he got the Principals to personally sign off on each act of torture.
“According to a former CIA official involved in the process,” ABC reported, “CIA headquarters would receive cables from operatives in the field asking for authorization for specific techniques.” Can we beat up this guy? Can we waterboard him?
The Bushies weren’t otherwise known for dwelling on details. Osama was in Pakistan; they invaded Afghanistan instead. Two years later, he was still in Pakistan. They invaded Iraq. Bush and his top officials still found time to walk through every step of torment a detainee would suffer in some CIA dungeon halfway around the world.
Not only did he know, he personally approved it. He likes torture.
At least four detainees have committed suicide at the torture camp created by George W. Bush after 9/11 at Guantánamo Bay. Twenty-five more made 41 unsuccessful attempts to kill themselves. The conditions of their confinement–ordered by Bush and his Principals–constitutes torture. It no doubt prompted their deaths.
If George W. Bush were an ordinary citizen, there can be little doubt that he would face a long prison sentence for the scores of acts of torture he authorized both specifically and generally. Four of the seven white hillbillies charged with the kidnap-torture of a black woman in Logan County, West Virginia are now in jail for at least the next ten years.
If Bush weren’t president, he would face murder charges. The maximum sentence in a federal murder case is death.
If Bush and his co-conspirators are not above the law, if the United States remains a nation where all citizens are equal, they must be arrested and indicted. But by whom?
The Supreme Court has never resolved the question of whether a sitting president can be arrested by civilian authorities. Even if he were charged and convicted, many legal experts say he could issue himself a pardon.
Bush could be extradited to one of the countries where the torture and murders were committed–such as Afghanistan or Cuba. But he could claim immunity as a head of state.
There is, however, a person who could begin holding Bush and the others accountable for their crimes.
She is Cathy L. Lanier, the 39-year-old chief of D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department. Chief Lanier, take note: you have probable cause to arrest a self-confessed serial torturer and mass murderer within the borders of the District of Columbia. He resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Go get him.
History is calling, Chief Lanier. Your city, and your country, needs you.
Actress/singer Miley Cyrus–the “Miley” is short for “Smiley” (yes, really)–has just signed a book deal. For her memoirs. She’s 15.
Sorry for the late posting of this cartoon. Technical BS and all that.
I don’t expect most people to understand this one; it’s a satire of art comix (the kind that appear in the NY Times Sunday Magazine) where nothing much happens and the characters are all sad and lonely. Which is pretty much the state of mind of Bush as he dreams of a time when he’ll finally get more quality time with his beloved.
Among the highlights of this interview are shots of the cover of the new French edition of “La Route de la Soie en Lambeaux” (that’s “Silk Road to Ruin” to you Murkins) and the artwork for next year’s graphic novel “The Year of Loving Dangerously.” No, I haven’t learned how to draw more realistically. The art is by Pablo J. Callejo, noted for the “Bluesman” series from NBM. It’s my story, and I wrote it.
Why Is America So Mean?
“The 82nd,” the man ahead of me in the security line at the Kansas City airport said. He was 64 and white, very Hank Hill and not the kind of guy you’d typically see chatting up a skinny 20-year-old Latino dude. But they were both veterans. Common ground is a given.
“I was in the 82nd too,” the kid told the old man. I looked down. The kid’s legs were gone. He was standing on metal. Implausibly and heartbreakingly, white Converses adorned the tips of his prosthetic legs. High tops.
On the other side of the metal detector, I caught up with the young vet (Iraq? Afghanistan?). HomeSec was giving him the whole treatment: arms stretched out, the wand, stern expressions and stupid questions. The wand beeped and beeped. The TSA guy scowled. “I’ve got titanium all the way up my spine,” the kid explained.
You’re kidding me, I thought. After what he’s been through. After what he’s done for his country. I wanted to scream: Bastards! You should wave him around the checkpoint. Here, sir, we’d like to offer you a seat in first class. No, no, no charge.
I bit my tongue. Here in the land of the twee and the craven, I know when to shut up. That’s what we do now. Airports are nodes of high-intensity fascism in a nation settling into authoritarianism lite. Hassle the bastards and you might end up dead. I had a flight to catch, doncha know.
Have we, at long last, any decency?
In one respect, the three remaining presidential candidates say, “Yes, we do.” They’ve promised to close Gitmo.
What ought to happen to the nearly 300 detainees is obvious. Hand each of them an apology, a bag of cash–a million bucks wouldn’t be nearly enough for what they’ve been through–and a plane ticket home. Those who can’t return to their countries of origin because their U.S.-backed dictatorships would murder them receive a penthouse suite in the U.S. city of their choice.
I’d let them switch places with their guards and 300 top-ranking members of the Bush Administration for a couple of days first. No questions asked. Just get on the plane, and don’t forget your bag o’ cash.
Here’s how messed up, how separated from common sense justice the United States of America has become: We might close Gitmo. But we’re keeping the inmates!
“When it comes to closing Guantánamo, talk is cheap,” Columbia law professor Matthew Waxman tells The Los Angeles Times. Because, you see, the U.S. government has violated the victims’ rights so egregiously for so long that there’s no longer a legally appropriate way to process them.
“Especially vexing,” says the paper, “are scores of foreign detainees: Officials lack evidence to prosecute, but warn against setting them free.” It’s an 800-year-old Western legal principle called habeas corpus: you can’t hold a person in custody without charging them. Oh, wait–Bush got rid of that.
“Because there is little evidence against them that could be used in a U.S. court, government officials fear that a federal judge could order them freed,” the Times continues. Heaven forbid that we release people, even if there’s no evidence they’ve done anything wrong. What’s next? Taxing the rich?
“Then you would have 100-plus future sleeper-cell members unleashed in Kansas,” a “midlevel official” told the Times. No grain silo would be safe.
Gitmo inmates have been waterboarded, urinated upon by U.S. soldiers, violently force-fed and driven to suicide. Some of the “dangerous terrorists” (John McCain’s description) were 12 years old when Afghan warlords sold them to U.S. forces for cash bounties. They’ve grown up in Gitmo. When do we finally, at long last, decide that they’ve suffered enough?
Maybe we should just shoot them.
It’s not just foreigners. Even for its own native-born wretches, America couldn’t find a path to fundamental decency if it were lit up like Times Square on New Year’s Eve.
In ancient Rome, executioners abided by a rule: If they failed to hack off your head after three swings of the blade, they set you free. Not here. Men condemned to lethal injection wake up screaming; the guards administer more poisons and barbiturates.
Veterinarians abandoned the three-drug cocktail used to kill inmates in most states because they considered it cruel to animals.
Many death row prisoners are innocent. Sometimes they even manage to prove it before their executions. “At least 205 men and one woman nationwide have been exonerated through DNA evidence since 1989, including 53 who…were convicted of murder,” reports The New York Times. But what happens to those who are set free?
No compensation is enough for someone who serves years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. But society ought to come up with something.
There ought to be money. Millions and millions of dollars. So much that the victim of a judicial miscarriage never has to work again. It wouldn’t bring back the lost years, the shattered relationships and murdered moments. But it would be a start.
Then again, this is America. We don’t apologize, much less try to pay penance. Here’s $24 and a cheap suit. Too bad about those 15 years. Thank you for playing. Want compensation? Find a lawyer who’ll work for $24 and sue.
Ah, but there’s a catch: you need a law under which to file a lawsuit. 36 of the 50 states have laws that specifically prevent innocent ex-prisoners from going to court to seek the damages they ought to have been given without asking. Twelve of the remaining 14 have limits. (New York and Maryland do not.) California caps total payouts at a stingy $100 a day, up to a maximum of $10,000–even if they lock you up for 20 years by mistake.
As individuals, Americans are generous to a fault. They do the right thing, or at least they try. The disconnect occurs when we express our collective will, through our courts and government officials. Our laws and our politicians are mean, cheap and callous.
All over the country, local policemen are tracking suspects to steal their DNA. Yes, really.

 It ’s not just foreigners . Even for its own native - born wretches , America could n’t find a path to fundamental decency if it were lit up like Times Square on New Year ’s Eve .
 In ancient Rome , executioners abided by a rule : If they failed to hack off your head after three swings of the blade , they set you free . Not here . Men condemned to lethal injection wake up screaming ; the guards administer more poisons and barbiturates .
 Veterinarians abandoned the three - drug cocktail used to kill inmates in most states because they considered it cruel to animals .
 Many death row prisoners are innocent . Sometimes they even manage to prove it before their executions . “ At least 205 men and one woman nationwide have been exonerated through DNA evidence since 1989 , including 53 who … were convicted of murder , ” reports The New York Times . But what happens to those who are set free ?
 No compensation is enough for someone who serves years in prison for a crime he did n’t commit . But society ought to come up with something .
 There ought to be money . Millions and millions of dollars . So much that the victim of a judicial miscarriage never has to work again . It would n’t bring back the lost years , the shattered relationships and murdered moments . But it would be a start .
 Then again , this is America . We do n’t apologize , much less try to pay penance . Here ’s $ 24 and a cheap suit . Too bad about those 15 years . Thank you for playing . Want compensation ? Find a lawyer who ’ll work for $ 24 and sue .
 Ah , but there ’s a catch : you need a law under which to file a lawsuit . 36 of the 50 states have laws that specifically prevent innocent ex - prisoners from going to court to seek the damages they ought to have been given without asking . Twelve of the remaining 14 have limits . ( New York and Maryland do not . ) California caps total payouts at a stingy $ 100 a day , up to a maximum of $ 10,000 – even if they lock you up for 20 years by mistake .
 As individuals , Americans are generous to a fault . They do the right thing , or at least they try . The disconnect occurs when we express our collective will , through our courts and government officials . Our laws and our politicians are mean , cheap and callous .
 All over the country , local policemen are tracking suspects to steal their DNA . Yes , really .

St Tola Ash Log is a soft, pasteurised (in this case, although they also make a raw milk version) goat’s milk cheese produced by Siobhan ni Ghairbhith of Inagh Farmhouse Cheeses near Ennistymon in County Clare. Their farm lies just ten miles from the wild Atlantic coast, with lush meadows fed by reliable rainfall and a boggy peat soil. The cheese was originally developed in the late 1970s by neighbours Meg and Derrick Gordon. Having schooled Siobhan in the art of cheesemaking, when they decided to retire in 1999 Siobhan and her partner John were the natural successors to the business.
The milk comes from a herd of 300 goats – a mix of Saanen, Toggenburg and British Alpine – which graze on 65 acres of herb and flower-speckled pastures. They are milked twice a day and the milk is warmed and pumped into muslin bags. Animal rennet is used to help separate the curds from the whey, a process which takes 24 hours. On the following day, the bags are winched up to allow the whey to drain away. On day three the curd is mixed with salt and gently ladled into moulds to drain further.
The next stage is to cover the cheese in a thin layer of food-grade charcoal. Many soft goat’s cheeses are traditionally rolled in ash like this as its alkalinity helps to neutralize the natural acicidity of the cheese which slows down ripening. It also apparently attracts a more even spread of mould which adds a creaminess to the cheese, as well as creating the perfect environment for a ‘brainy’ Geotrichum rind to grow. As you can see from the photo above, my cheese was oozing out from under its rind, which itself had started to slip away from the paste within.
The centre of the cheese has the texture of firm ice-cream and a light, herbal taste whereas, towards the rind, the cheese is almost runny and has complex, spicier notes. The flavour of goat is definitely there but not overpoweringly so. All round, a great goaty addition to a cheeseboard.
With additional research from Celtic Life International.

Hello....I really enjoyed the photo of my great-great-grandfather, reverend Andrew Bigelow. One of his daughters, Amelia, was my great-grandmother. I am interested in any more photos of the Bigelow family and am also planning a trip to northern NY this summer and would be interested in meeting more Bigelows! Please feel free to contact me. thanks!
Notes: censuses 1800, 1810, Mary Ruth JUDD has contributed most of this material, and it is through her early research that I first became aware of James and Lucretia BIGELOW. I visited the Potsdam LDS Genealogy Research Center in 1994 and found a small file folder with her early notes, etc. She had made up an ancestral chart from Phoebe Ermina to John 1 , photocopies of old tintypes of the family, reprints of an article in Forge on Silas Wright, photocopy of Memoriam of Marianne (which recalls her parents), and a funeral sermon for Andrew Frank (which also narrates the life of James and Lucretia).
Ran across this site looking for Magoon data. There is a misspelling of Egbert Magoon who married Amelia Albina Bigelow. Can that be corrected? If anyone is interested I can provide the ancestry for Egbert Magoon and also for Marion Purmort, wife of Rev Andrew Frank Bigelow. Thank you, Mary Woodman.

Sydney-based vegan psychologist and trainer Clare Mann has written a handbook for vegans to understand and communicate the anguish of living in a non-vegan world.
I caught up with her about her writing, mental health, activism and Vystopia.
A quick guide of the essential developmental stages and the testing behaviours that you may be experiencing with your child or teen. And what they expect from you!
Why do people get in touch with me and ask for my support? This is a question I already asked myself many times.
Why would they choose to pay my fees to get special one-on-one assistance instead of simply buying a book and reading it? Or just going online to find solutions for themselves? Or asking for advices in their Facebook wall?
Life happens. It’s demanding and stressful. And its many chapters unfold in ways that will eventually pose challenges to how you view it and take it forward. You have days when it seems impossible to achieve your purpose. To make your dreams come true. And, if you have young children – like me – it seems even more difficult.
As someone that has studied and worked in Psychology, Counselling, and Coaching, who has lived and worked in four continents of the world, I’ve seen how much life weighs on people, all across the world. We are in the same boat. With the same essential worries and dilemmas. And, conditioned by the same limiting perceptions.
How do you keep going with all your responsibilities, and still maintain your inner balance?
FAQ . Terms & Conditions. © 2017 Hugo Jorge. All rights reserved.
I would like to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First People and Traditional Custodians. I value their cultures, identities, and continuing connection to country, kin and community. I pay my respects to Elders past and present and to the wider Nyoongah Community, on which I live and work.

Small coastal towns like Little Creek, Port Mahon and Bowers Beach were built upon the Delaware Bay seafood industry that flourished amid bountiful oyster harvests in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
During that time, on the northern shore of the bay, New Jersey towns such as Bivalve, Money Island and Port Norris were home to more millionaires per capita than anywhere in the country — their wealth derived from the humble oyster.
Throughout the East Coast and Midwest, oysters from Delaware Bay were in high demand. The fishery, which seemed boundless back then, would later nearly collapse from diseases — MSX and Dermo — and decades of unregulated harvests.
The diminishing number of workboats and seafood processors along the bay’s shores mirrored the decline of the oyster industry. Watermen and those who processed their catch were forced to either abandon the business or diversify into different fisheries. Improvements in refrigeration and globalization of the seafood industry in the latter half of the 20th century helped the survivors serve markets farther afield. The Delaware Bay fisheries that exist now must continually adapt to ever tightening regulations, fluctuations in product availability, and changes in the marketplace.
