The newest and most expensive carrier ever entered the U.S. Navy fleet Saturday, nearly three years behind schedule and costing about $2.4 billion above plan.
When building the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier, the Navy ditched battle-tested features found on previous carriers and instead went with more expensive technology that hasn't always worked out as expected.
The ship isn't expected to be fully operational until at least 2020, and its controversial catapult system hasn't launched an actual aircraft at sea.

The newest and most expensive aircraft carrier ever built entered the U.S. Navy fleet Saturday, but almost three years behind schedule and billions of dollars over its estimated budget.
With Saturday's commissioning, the carrier will go back into testing and training, and isn't expected to be fully operational until 2020 at the earliest. The ship's catapult has yet to launch an actual aircraft at sea and the vessel has only had helicopters land on its deck.
Although it has yet to be put to the test, some already say the USS Gerald R. Ford is an example of the Navy's costly and risky bet on "immature" technology.
Experts say the Navy's decision to roll out some untested technologies in its next-generation classes of ships has been a costly lesson. For example, the new Ford aircraft carrier going into the Navy fleet cost nearly $13 billion, or around $2.4 billion above plan.
The Navy "made a significant bet on the newest and latest cutting-edge technology, and it bet that all of those technologies would mature as these platforms were scheduled to come online," said Jerry Hendrix, senior fellow and director of the Defense Strategies and Assessments Program at the Center for a New American Security, a non-partisan Washington think tank.
Hendrix added, "Unfortunately some of those technologies did not mature. Hence, we're seeing some delays in some critical programs, including the new Ford-Class carrier."
Although years behind schedule, the Ford carrier was formally commissioned into the Navy's fleet Saturday in a ceremony in Virginia, which was attended by President Donald Trump. The president had previously visited the carrier in March.
In remarks Saturday, Trump called the Ford carrier "the newest, largest and most advanced aircraft carrier in the history of this world."
When building the new Ford carrier, the Navy ditched the steam-powered catapult system found on the older Nimitz-Class carriers and went instead with a electro-magnetic aircraft launch system. Similarly, the Navy went with an updated arresting gear to catch planes landing on the ship's deck.
The Ford is the first new design of an aircraft carrier in 40 years. Last month, acting Navy Secretary Sean Stackley conceded costs of the carriers were tough to swallow, but insisted the service (and shipbuilding industry) planned to learn from past missteps. Meanwhile, the maker of the new digital catapult, General Atomics, claims on its webpage the system's benefits include a "reduced manning and life-cycle cost."
The technology replaced the battle-tested steam catapult that had been used for decades to launch planes. As it turns out, though, the commander-in-chief is not at all a fan of the supercarrier's technology. In a May interview, Trump told Time magazine in an interview that the new digital power system "costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it's no good."
Similarly, the Navy has faced cost overruns and other problems with other new classes of warships, including internal electrical issues with the Zumwalt-class destroyer, and struggles with the controversial Littoral Combat Ship program.
Trump alluded to military costs and program delays in his remarks Saturday, but didn't single out the Ford carrier.
"We do not want cost overruns," the president said. "We want the best equipment but we want it built ahead of schedule and we want it built under budget."
Mandy Smithberger, director of the Straus Military Reform Project at the Project On Government Oversight, said some of the mistakes made by the Navy on big-ticket programs have been self-inflicted. The service's tendency to "develop really complex technology that's expensive to maintain and not reliable," has been a major drawback.
Added Smithberger, "It's not necessarily that it's new technology but it's immature — so it has to be proven technology."
Some analysts said the new ideas for the next-generation ships originated in the 1990s, when there was a "go for broke" mindset by some decision makers.
In the case of the Ford-Class carrier, the Navy decided to make all of the key changes in new technology upfront on the first ship in the class, rather than wait for successive carriers. The Navy plans to spend around $43 billion on the first three Ford-Class aircraft carriers.
At the same time, the Navy and other services have faced fiscal challenges due to the ongoing effect of the budget caps signed into law six years ago.
"The Budget Control Act, as far as it pertains to defense, was wrong-minded and that should not have been systematically reducing defense spending," said Brian Slattery, a policy analyst for national security at Washington-based Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
He also said the inability of Congress to pass regular budgets is "very disruptive" to Navy and other service programs.
For the Navy, though, the budget situation is particularly pressing because of Trump's stated goal for a larger Navy fleet.
As a GOP candidate last year, Trump pledged the Navy would build 350 surface ships and submarines. He has since accepted the Navy's new force structure goal of a fleet of 355 ships — up from the battle force of 276 ships as of Friday.
However, reaching the Navy goal could cost approximately $400 billion more over 30 years than the service's previously stated force goal of 308 ships, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Based on CBO's calculations, the Navy would need to buy around 329 new ships over 30 years to reach the 355-ship fleet. That compares with the 254 ships it estimates would be bought under the Navy's prior force goal.
"Cost is probably the biggest challenge reaching the larger fleet size," said Smithberger. "You'd have to increase Pentagon spending a lot to afford everything that they're trying to buy. It will require cutting other services or other Navy priorities, including airplanes."
Yet the time it will take to reach a 355-ship Navy also is a concern, given signs the Chinese are aggressively ramping up their own naval forces. Separately, Russia is undergoing a modernization plans of its own, including adding advanced nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines to its fleet.
"The Chinese are coming hard, meaning they are going for mass numbers and new advanced technology," said Hendrix, of the Center for a New American Security.
"The Russians have made decisions to invest in fairly exquisite platforms, like the new Yasen-Class submarine, a nuclear powered, fast-attack boat which is very advanced," he added. "And if they got two or three of those loose in the Atlantic, and we didn't know where they were, it would cause real complications for the United States as well as NATO."
In April, the nonpartisan CBO estimated the earliest the Navy could reach the 355-ship goal was by 2035, though it cautioned that 15-year buildup forecast was based on the service getting "sufficient funding." The CBO also estimates the cost to build, crew and operate the larger fleet would average $102 billion annually through 2047.
Regardless, Hendrix suggests there is perhaps a faster way to reach the 355-ship fleet size but not necessarily by adding newly constructed ships. Instead, he suggests the Navy might want to consider taking ships out of mothballs and keeping others in service longer to maintain the 355-ship fleet.
Others are not so sure it makes sense to keep ships in the fleet longer than they are scheduled.
"You can't just run the same ships well beyond their service lives to assume that you can keep up the same level of capability to deter our adversaries," said Slattery.
Hendrix said another option to increase the size of the Navy fleet is to look at some vessels in the so-called Ready Reserve Force ships, which are maintained for national defense and emergencies.
Either way, he believes there's an urgent need to reach that 355-ship target sooner rather than later. The retired Navy captain insisted the Navy should strive to reach the 355-ship fleet "within a decade in order to deter both the Chinese and Russians who are looking to challenge us at sea."

Bad Rabbit is a new strain of ransomware, disguised as an Adobe Flash installer, which is downloaded by unsuspecting victims from compromised websites. Experts claim that it is likely to be linked to the “ExPetr” attack, as much of the same code was used. Both strains also used the same list of domains for the attack and both used the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) to spread the malware.
Unlike ExPetr, bad Rabbit doesn’t use the EternalBlue vulnerability – a Microsoft Windows security vulnerability which allows an attacker to exploit a network file sharing protocol to read and write to files and request services. Instead, it uses a similar type of vulnerability called “EternalRomance”, which exploits the same network file sharing protocol, but uses remote code execution (RCE).
Most of the attacks targeted Russian news and media websites, although attacks have been reported in Ukraine, Turkey and Germany. The requested ransom is 0.05 bitcoin, which is $307 at the current exchange rate. However, evidence has yet to be accumulated regarding whether or not the attackers will decrypt the files once the ransom has been paid.
How can organisations protect themselves from Bad Rabbit?
There are a number of things you can do to help prevent the spread of Bat Rabbit in your IT infrastructure. Many of these apply to all (or at least most) strains of ransomware, so it’s worth noting them down and referring to it the next time you see something like this pop up in your news feed.
If possible, disable WMI service to prevent the malware spreading across your network.
Only download software updates from a reliable source – i.e. directly from the software vendor.
Make sure that your Anti-virus/malware software is kept up-to-date.
Make sure that security patches are installed in a timely manner.
Introduce network segmentation in order to help prevent the ransomware from spreading. For example, you may want to segregate assets such as databases, applications and POS systems.
Ensure that you have email content scanning and filtering enabled on your mail servers. All attachment types that could pose a threat should be blocked.
Always remember to keep backups!
Only pay the ransom if you really must. Paying the ransom will only encourage further attacks, and there’s no guarantee you will get your files back. In fact, security experts always advise against paying the ransom so only do this as a last resort.

Kerth, 67, was selected from 164 applicants to be the organization’s new chief executive. He sits on the board of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District and is a scion of the Kerth family who founded the American Ice Co. and the Iceland skating rink in North Sacramento. He is responsible for the design of ice rinks in what’s now called Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento and an outdoor rink at Squaw Valley’s High Camp in 1990.
Veteran nonprofit leader Pam Saltenberger, who served as Sacramento Habitat’s interim CEO for about six months, said she and other members of the executive search team felt that Kerth’s experience in the political arena would help the organization lead and navigate discussions about how governments and nonprofits can work together to ensure there’s adequate housing for low-income residents.
The loss of government funding is not the only challenge for the Sacramento Habitat, which has a budget of $5.9 million for the fiscal year ending in June. Nationwide, Habitat affilitates have begun hearing from some corporate sponsors that want their dollars stretched to help more than just one family.
Habitat affiliates across the country have begun offering neighborhood revitalization programs, and the Sacramento-based organization launched its effort last year with a work project in West Sacramento. Habitat volunteers worked on several homes in one neighborhood, doing things like replacing building materials damaged by dry rot, painting homes, fixing or putting on new roofs.
Kerth said that, as a community activist and politician, he’s seen a new Habitat home turn around neighborhood decay as well.
The Sacramento Habitat affiliate has begun to put particular emphasis on interfaith home-building projects, an endeavor that Saltenberg said has taken off with advocacy from board member Jeff vonKaenel, publisher of the Sacramento News & Review. Essentially, she and Kerth said, it’s an opportunity for people of all faiths to sponsor a home, volunteer to work on a home-building project or do both.
The idea is that, if people of all faiths can work beside each other for a common goal, they can share faith stories if they choose and gain understanding to stem the tide of any negative rhetoric that rises against one particular faith, Saltenberger said.
And, they will be working side by side with the person selected to buy the Habitat home, said Kerth, who served on the Sacramento City Council from 1992-2000. He stressed that Habitat is not a giveaway program. Those who qualify to buy a home pay for it with their sweat equity and a no-interest mortgage. Their payments ensure that the organization can continue its mission.

MANSFIELD Town striker Ollie Palmer has joined the Mariners on an initial one-month loan deal - subject to FA, Football League and Football Conference clearance.
The 22-year-old signed for the Stags for an undisclosed fee from Havant & Waterlooville and boasts a great pedigree having been voted as 'Player of the Year' in the Conference South in 2012/13, following an excellent season at H&W in which he finished as top scorer with 25 goals.
Premiership side Chelsea were reported to have kept tabs on Palmer, who struck on 38 occasions in just 62 starts during his stay at Westleigh Park.
However, it was at Woking where the youngster first began to carve out a reputation as a regular talisman, as he progressed through the youth ranks and made a handful of first team appearances.
Palmer's best attributes are said to be his strength, style and technique. In total, he netted five goals in 43 appearances during his first season at Mansfield.
Catch the first interview with Ollie on Mariners Player soon.

This is a staple recipe in any Japanese household. Even though the title says hamburger, it’s not actually stuffed between two buns, but rather, served with rice, and in my case – vegetables!
This is a traditional Japanese Westernised dish that’s popular all over Japan and most it the time, served with demiglace sauce.
Whatever you serve this with, I know you’ll enjoy it!
You can either choose to cook onions before putting them in the mixture, or opt to put them in raw.
You can also use 400g of beef mince and cook patties until medium rare for an even juicer burger.
Mix together pork and beef mince, salt, pepper and nutmeg until ‘tacky’.
Add bread and egg yolk and mix again.
Shape into patties once all ingredients are combined and heat oil in a pan.
Put patties in a pan, but don’t overcrowd it!
Once bottom are browned, flip and put lid on pan to let them steam.
You can either leave them in the pan until fully cooked, or put them in the oven for about 5 minutes until clear juices drain out of it.
Serves with freshly cooked rice and vegetables.

The word Noor, for many people, brings to mind black or dark, especially coupled with the black motif inside the new jewelry store that bears the name. Maybe youâ€™re thinking the word â€œnoir?â€? Noor actually means light in Farsi (Persian), and is symbolic of friendship and the business union of owners Alexander Raissipour, a Persian American, and Adrian Bray, a British-born SLO transplant. The Noor specifically refers to a pair of infamous diamonds, the Dar-i-noor and the Koh-i-noor that are now part of the Persian and British crown jewels, respectively.
OPEN FOR BUSSINESS : Alex Raissipour (right) and Adrien Bray (left) opened Noor, a jewelry store that specializes in one-of-a-kind pieces.
# â€œWeâ€™ve been friends for quite a while and decided it would be good to go into business and work together,â€? Raissipour explained.
You may recognize Raissipourâ€™s faceâ€”it used to be the one smiling from behind the counter of Blazing Blenders. Bray, too, isnâ€™t a newcomer to the SLO business scene. For more than 16 years, heâ€™s operated in the financial-management field, and both men are involved with local Rotary.
â€œWe looked around, and this was perfect,â€? said Raissipour, who still owns the original smoothie shop.
He was referring to the old Blazing Blenders storefront where Noor is now housed. Although Raissipour hasnâ€™t yet announced the new location for Blazing Blenders, he said that it will find a new and permanent home downtown.
The old smoothie counters cluttered with straws and stacked lids have been replaced with glass cases and shelves filled with treasures. The overall space is on the small side, but Raissipour insisted that itâ€™s just the right size to give customers a positive experience.
â€œOne of the ideas in the design is that it puts the pieces very close to the customer,â€? he said. â€œYou can see the piecesâ€”like in a museum.â€?
Indeed, very little space is wasted, so the room actually holds much more than you would expect.
There are quite a few original pieces in the showroom, including a collection of beautifully handcrafted stars of David, many of them fashioned by local artist Ron Wilson. The stars are uniqueâ€”and apparently not easy to find in our area.
â€œWe have been told, by many of our Jewish customers, that they could not find Jewish religious pieces,â€? Raissipour said with some amazement.
Noor also carries other work by Wilson: large, earthy stones; twisted metal; and glass pieces. Noor also boasts a jeweler with more than 40 yearsâ€™ experience.
Raissipour noted a corner thatâ€™s now filled with chairsâ€”the future location of the shopâ€™s bridal department, where customers can look at the intricacies of the stones and find encouragement toward involvement at all levels of the jewelry-making process.
Raissipour acknowledged that SLO already has several jewelry storesâ€”especially in the downtown area-â€”but is positive that shoppers will find something new in his store.
â€œWe have a growing and highly affluent community,â€? he explained.
He said that he sees the opportunity for SLO to become a jewelry-minded town and that it could be thought of as a destination for high-end jewelry and as a community that values art.
Friday, July 7, marks eight weeks of business, which have surpassed expectations for Noorâ€™s owners. To celebrate, Noor is hosting a reception with wine and cheese at SLOâ€™s monthly Art After Dark, to promote local artists and the business as more than a place to buy a ring. Noor also plans to participate with different artists as a gallery for Art After Dark. The grand opening starts Friday and will continue every Friday between 5 and 8 p.m. at 1108 Broad St. For more info call: 546-8000.

Hundreds of Burmese migrant workers are queuing up in Mae Sot for passports and visas with a June 14 deadline approaching.
The sun has already set on a rundown apartment building down a quiet narrow alley near the Mae Sot-Myawaddy border. A large group of Burmese migrant workers congregate outside.
They have been waiting for the Thai agency to process their visas since the early afternoon. They already spent hours queuing up, in the hot summer sun, on the Friendship Bridge to get day passes to enter Thailand. The agency charged them 400 baht (US $12.70) for the pass, even though it officially only costs 20 baht.
The agency is just one of dozens which have sprung up along the border in recent months, cashing on the looming June 14 deadline for National Verification. The new Thai law requires foreign workers from Burma, Cambodia and Laos to be legally registered to work in the country.
Answering the call of a Thai labor crisis, thousands of Burmese workers cross into Mae Sot every day, hoping to earn a salary several times higher than in their native Burma.
Along the highway leading to the Friendship Bridge, larger crowds of migrant workers wait outside other agencies. With bags in toe, scores of mini-buses wait to transport them to Bangkok and with them their dreams of making money. The scene is reminiscent of a gold rush. However in this scenario, where migrant workers can expect to pay 10 times the official fee (500 baht) for a one-year visa, it’s obvious who the prospectors are and who is getting mined.
Several years ago, the Thai government announced that all foreign workers must be registered or risk deportation. The deadline was extended several times after rights groups complained about the impracticalities of registering millions of migrant workers throughout the country.
There are an estimated 2-3 million Burmese migrant workers in Thailand, making up about 5 percent of the total Thai work force.
The annual remittance from Burmese nationals working overseas is more than $3.6 billion, Burma’s Deputy Labour Minister Myint Thein told Thai press in April, following a meeting with Thai ministers to iron out the details for the implementation of the National Verification process, according to a Bangkok Post article.
Ironically, he praised the significant contributions Burmese migrant workers had made to the country’s economic growth.
Some people wonder if the real reason Naypyidaw is supporting the National Verification process is to collect taxes from the millions of Burmese working abroad.
Others, from ethnic areas where corruption by local authorities is still rampant, worry that the personal information they are required to provide to get a passport will be exploited to extort money from relatives back home.
Sam Win is from Karen state. He used to work on a garbage truck in Bangkok, earning 150 baht ($4.77) a day. When heavy flooding ravaged Thailand’s largest city causing a mass exodus of migrant workers, he had to leave without collecting his salary.
Unfortunately, Sam Win was one of the thousands of migrant workers who got caught in a Thai police net on the way back to the border.
Immigration officers delivered him to the Border Guard Force on the Thai side of the Myawaddy River, where he had to pay a 2,500-baht ($80) bribe or risk being sold to human traffickers.
Nearly one year later, Sam Win finds himself sitting on a curb in Mae Sot, waiting three days for an agency to process his Thai visa. He is only a five-minute drive, by detention center truck, from the spot where the Thai police deported him.
The Thai visa and Burmese passport cost him 10,000 baht, money he had to borrow to pay. Although Sam Win doesn’t have a confirmed job in Bangkok, he hopes to return to his municipal employment.
Before coming back to Thailand, he tried to make money in his village farming, but gave up because the earnings were too low.
His relative, Tin Aung, who is also waiting for a Thai visa, does not have a job either. But he still paid 16,000 baht (over $500) for his Burmese passport and Thai visa because he was in a hurry.
For the last eight years, Tin Aung worked on boats in Pattaya. Last month, with the National Verification deadline approaching, he decided to return to Burma to get his passport.
“I didn’t want to pay the human smugglers to travel back home so I turned myself in to Thai immigration, who deported me to the border,” said Tin Aung.
Now a month later, he is anxious to return to bangkok where his wife and daughter are waiting. Tin Aung couldn’t afford to pay for their documents, which means after June 14, only he will able to legal in the family.
Despite all the money he had to borrow to obtain his visa and passport, Tin Aung says he is “happy” to finally have legal status in Thailand.
“The last time I worked here, I was always felt afraid of the police. Now I can go wherever I want. For the first time [in Thailand] I feel freedom,” said Tin Aung.

The trouble with full time travelling, which I was doing for around a year and a half, is that you never get chance to catch up. I found this lurking in my draft pile, along with some other bits and pieces long forgotten, and thought I’d slot them in over the coming weeks when I’m maybe not doing a lot else. I’m glad I saved this with the photos, as I seem to have forgotten to back up a lot of my Turkey photos and they have disappeared with the demise of my last computer. Ah well; I still saw it all with my actual eyes.
I was here in September 2016, so around 8 months ago.
Dalyan was highly recommended; Lonely Planet raved about it and Rough Guide featured it in their Turquoise Coast suggested itinerary.
I might suggest that the writers of both Lonely Planet and Rough Guides haven’t been there for a while. I’m sure (say) five years ago it was a great place to go. Now every bit of it has become chock-a-block with restaurants, hotels and all the other paraphernalia that goes with the tourist industry.
Seriously, people can’t survive a 2-week holiday without their bacon and pork sausages? These were all over the place.
It was quite touristy. After I’d booked I came across a blog (I can’t find it now or I’d credit it here) that suggested ‘go if you must but two days is ample’. I think they had it nearer the mark.
It’s a shame because it is a very attractive place.
There is a ferry across the river, although the ferry is new. In previous years there were only these rowing boats; you pay someone 5 Lira to row you across to the other side.
Tourist numbers this year are, of course, down in Turkey (for obvious reasons). There are sixty percent fewer foreign tourists in Turkey this year. It wasn’t so noticeable further down the coast where there were more domestic tourists, but up here it soon becomes obvious. Countless restaurants and hotels fight for the business of the few. Many restaurant owners said that they would be closing up early this year: the middle of October rather than the end.
That said, if you can cope with the package holiday brigade, then Dalyan is a nice enough place. There is lots to do.
I spent three days there. I could easily have filled more time but in truth I was finding the full English breakfast set a little too irritating.
Plus my hotel wasn’t so great, and I’d have needed to switch hotels if I’d have wanted to stay longer. The staff were nice, always smiling at me, but I desperately wanted to say ‘maybe you should spend less time smiling and more time fixing things’, like the door that doesn’t lock or the wifi that doesn’t work.
comparing the two breakfasts, the local and the english ones, it seems to me the english one is better value. i wonder why they dont make the local breakfast more appetising, instead of it being just a cold spread. i mean it looks like a continental breakfast, except it has no croissant…at the least, throw in a croissant for gawd’s sake. the english one looks like a cooked breakfast, surely that is more work for the worker to prepare than the local one.
Well I think the fact that it’s a Muslim country so bacon and sausage is not part of their diet yet a (presumably Muslim) person has to prepare it….how hard is it for people going for a week,s holiday to not eat pork in that time?
The hotel breakfast was pretty good with lots of fruit and stuff but no pork and nothing cooked; well it was 30 odd degrees outside. They have cake and pitta bread but other bread isn’t part of their diet.
Well like all religions, people take what they want out of them and I met quite a few Turkish people who said ‘oh yes my family drink, we’re not that religious’.
I just found the continual stream of adverts for pork products a bit depressing. I hate that whole concept of the ‘all day English breakfast’ as well, which you see in places like Spain. You’re on holiday; why not try something different?
No I take your point about Turkey. I loved it, but if I were planning a trip now I probably wouldn’t want to include it.
Will bypass the breakfast conversation because we’re vegetarians. However we get the point about the guides being woefully old in their descriptions. We’ve followed some of them in the past and as you said, a lot of them paint a rosy picture of undiscovered places which in a couple of years of their discovery are overrun by tourists and the hotels and restaurants that follow. Over commercialization has killed many a beautiful place and judging by your post, dalyan as well. Wonder why people can’t take time to imbibe the local culture and food and instead demand what they’re most comfortable with.
yes I think the trick is to find a place and then tell nobody. Once you tell somebody they tell somebody else and before long they’re selling package holidays and pork sausages.
It’s a shame to read about how a country’s probably best attraction in the past has been ruined by tourism. Personally, I would never step in a restaurant that sells “English breakfast” in a country outside the UK. I mean… why? You go on holiday to enjoy the local culture, traditions and cuisines, why would you like to eat the same thing as at home (probably cooked wrong as well).
Always a bummer when beautiful places get super touristy, but good for the locals, I suppose. Looks like a gorgeous spot either way. We really loved Turkey, but didn’t make it here. Now I have a more realistic expectation if we return.
Dalyan sounds like a few tourist spots I have been to back home. What you said about those food signs is so true. They seem to attract a certain kind of crowd who like their food only in set ways. So, we can’t really blame these businesses I guess.
Pity you had such a terrible experience! Always a shame when such a beautiful place is ruined by overexposure to tourism and the likes of a full english breakfast (still a fav, wouldn’t say no, but I get your frustration!).
Full time traveling for 1.5 years? Wow, that’s impressive. I had not even heard of Dalyan till I hit this blog. I loved exploring the local markets. I think it shows the real character of any destination.

The trouble with full time travelling , which I was doing for around a year and a half , is that you never get chance to catch up . I found this lurking in my draft pile , along with some other bits and pieces long forgotten , and thought I ’d slot them in over the coming weeks when I ’m maybe not doing a lot else . I ’m glad I saved this with the photos , as I seem to have forgotten to back up a lot of my Turkey photos and they have disappeared with the demise of my last computer . Ah well ; I still saw it all with my actual eyes .
 I was here in September 2016 , so around 8 months ago .
 Dalyan was highly recommended ; Lonely Planet raved about it and Rough Guide featured it in their Turquoise Coast suggested itinerary .
 I might suggest that the writers of both Lonely Planet and Rough Guides have n’t been there for a while . I ’m sure ( say ) five years ago it was a great place to go . Now every bit of it has become chock - a - block with restaurants , hotels and all the other paraphernalia that goes with the tourist industry .
 Seriously , people ca n’t survive a 2 - week holiday without their bacon and pork sausages ? These were all over the place .
 It was quite touristy . After I ’d booked I came across a blog ( I ca n’t find it now or I ’d credit it here ) that suggested ‘ go if you must but two days is ample ’ . I think they had it nearer the mark .
 It ’s a shame because it is a very attractive place .
 There is a ferry across the river , although the ferry is new . In previous years there were only these rowing boats ; you pay someone 5 Lira to row you across to the other side .

So many youngsters wanted to compete in the Plumber Dan Kids Fishing Competition that some missed out at the Whanganui Town Wharf on Sunday.
200 kids signed up for the competition that started at 1pm and ran through until 3pm with plenty of prizes up for grabs.
The whirring of winding reels, the whizzing of lines cast out into the green water and the "woohoo" of some big catches could be heard up and down the wharf.
One such catch was one of the earliest on the day and went to Rutherford Junior High School student Jericho Kiriona, 11, who caught a kahawai on his first cast.
"I was amazed because I knew I was going to catch it, my first one," he said.
"It took about a minute to pull in, it wasn't that long."
The kahawai weighed 1.57kg which was heavy enough to claim Jericho third place in the competition.
Everyone received a prize and they included chocolate bars, hats, fishing rods, McDonald's vouchers, drinking bottles, Columbus Coffee vouchers, rugby balls and toys.
It was Jericho's first time entering the competition and helping him out were his mum Dorothy McPherson and his dad Tama Kiriona.
"Jericho likes to do a bit of fishing so we thought we'd give it a go and obviously that worked out," Kiriona said.
"You could see it jump so we knew it was a kahawai and we were stoked."
A keen fisherman, Kiriona caught his own impressive haul on the Saturday night before his son's competition.
"It's something for me to do to relax after work. I got 14 snapper last night up Kai Iwi way," he said.
"This competition is a good idea. It gets the kids out and it's good for the community. They need more of it to be honest. The turnout is awesome."
The sponsors of the competition included Hunting & Fishing New Zealand, Bunnings Warehouse, Zip Plumbing Plus, Mars Petcare, Meteor Office Products Depot, McDonald's and Mitre 10 Mega.

Most autochromes do seem to have the authority of art – that power to rivet our gaze and demand of our eyes that they return again and again, and the power to reward those returns with pleasure and insight. It would be interesting to know what it is about the autochrome that so compels, to know why that soft glow of suggestion, of elegant ladies in lace, of nuance and the Monet-haze of dream is so emotionally gripping, so psychologically arresting.
Alfonse Van Besten, Symphony in white, 1912 autochrome 9 x 12cm.
Around 1890 a number of amateur photographers were dissatisfied with the mere technical merits of photography. They wished to use photography for reproducing beauty and expressing their inner feelings and thoughts. Their vision had been opposed by painters and art critics, who were of the opinion that photography, being the product of a technical device, did not belong in a museum. The invention of a “fuzzy rendering process”, and the introduction of the manipulated image moved photography closer to the contemporary art movements in painting. Previous objections, to allow photography into the holy sanctuaries of museums, gradually disappeared.
In 1895 the Koninklijke Musea voor Kunst en Geschiedenis in Brussels started collecting international art photography. Among the foremost Belgian pictorialists from around 1900 were Hector Collard, Alexandre, Edmond Sacré, Gustave Marissiaux, Léonard Misonne and Edouard Hannon. Like genuine impressionists they were captivated by light, atmosphere and colour.
( From the exposition catalogue “De fotografie in België 1839 – 1940” at the Provinciaal Museum voor Kunstambachten, Deurne, 1970).
It was not until 1907 that colour photography, thanks to the autochrome process, came within the reach of photographers. But from among the above mentioned Belgian photographers, it was only Gustave Marissiaux who fully started to make use of the new technique. Whether his fellow pictorialists have ever applied the autochrome process is uncertain: were they disappointed by the fact that the new technique, in contrast to other known photographic techniques, was impossible to manipulate?
For most of us it is quite a surprise to realise that even before the first world war photographing in colour was possible. This was due to the autochrome process invented during the years 1895-1903, by the French brothers Louis Lumière (1864-1947 and Auguste Lumière (1862-1954). It took them four further years to work out and refine the several fabrication processes. Finally in 1907 the autochrome plates came on the market and were an instant succes. Until now, the photographers’ only way to produce colour was tinting the plates by hand which was done by many photographers with breathtaking artistry. E.g.the beach scene below is a hand coloured example of a plate coloured by the Belgian amateur photographer Constant Casters, who had a very refined hand and taste.
The nucleus of autochrome plates are dyed grains of potatoe starch measuring between 0,006-0,025mm.
Make a mix of these three different coloured grain starches.
You need a glassplate between 0,9 and 1,8mm thick.
Blow the coloured mix of grains on the varnished plate.
The whole plate then has to be pressed to reduce overall thinkness of layers.
After pressing apply a second layer of varnish.
There are between 6000 to 7000 grains on a square millimeter.
A rolling pressure of 5000kg per square centimetre had to be achieved to press the layers without breaking the fragile glass plate.
Around 1914 the daily outlet was 6000 autochrome plates.
The biggest collection of autochromes (72.000 plates) is housed at the Albert Kahn Museum at Boulogne Billancourt/France.

Let’s talk about raised bed gardening. Why? Because everyone is doing it. While there are some disadvantages to raised beds, many will agree that raised beds provide the perfect solution to several garden conundrums – such as lack of space, clay soil, etc. In addition, raised beds can extend your growing season, especially if you have a cover.
Raised beds are easy to build and maintain. The important work, though, begins in the planning stage of your beds. Site location is critical. Be sure there is flat space to lay your bed with plenty of sun. The height, width and depth are up to you, though you want to be able to plant your flowers or vegetables fairly deep. One last tip: when choosing the materials to build your bed (bricks, stones, wood, old tires), be sure to consider contamination. If you want your garden to be organic, you will need to consider the potential presence of chemicals in building materials.
When it’s all said and done, you can search on the internet and receive millions of different answers to your raised bed questions. Or you can stop in to Stockslagers and our garden specialists will cover everything you need to know about raised bed design, plans, materials, and soil. So come in today and raise the bed!
