Jenna Dewan on How Pregnancy Is Different and 'Faster' the Second Time Around

Ever dreamed you were playing hockey while pregnant then transformed into a balloon that couldn't keep its skates on the ice for the game?
Welcome to Jenna Dewan's second pregnancy!
The actress and dancer -- who has a 6-year-old daughter, Evie, with her ex-husband, Channing Tatum, and is now expecting her first child with boyfriend Steve Kazee -- is finding pregnancy "weird" and intense this time around.
"I had a dream the other night that I was playing hockey with all of these hockey players, and then all of a sudden we turned into balloons and we started floating," Dewan, 39, shared during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Tuesday. "And, the problem was we couldn't keep our skates on the ice. I woke up and I was like, 'What was that? I need to feel grounded?'"
Dewan said that the whole experience of expecting her second child has been more intense compared to her "easy" pregnancy with Evie.
"I'm so excited," she said. "It's been amazing. First pregnancy was really easy. Evie was like a dream pregnancy. This time around, [it's] also really great, but everything's happening faster. I'm swelling faster, I have heartburn faster, I was way more nauseous this time around, so it's a little different."
As for cravings, Dewan's desire for fruit has been replaced by Taco Bell.
"With Evie I was super-healthy," she said. "I would actually find I wanted grapefruit which was, like, 'Thank you, Evie.' Not this time. This time, I want junk food. I want everything bad. It was immediate. I was like, 'Where's the chips? Where's the Taco Bell?' I needed junk food."
Given that her second pregnancy has been such a contrast to her first, Clarkson suggested the differences could mean that "the opposite sex is happening," to which Dewan responded, "I know, I know. We'll find out!"
Dewan reiterated how she was finding pregnancy harder this time while speaking to ET about her new Netflix musical drama, Soundtrack, recently.
"I felt a little bit more tired and nauseous this time around," she shared. "Overall, it's been great. I've definitely been working a lot throughout it, which has been a blessing in a lot of ways so I kind of keep going. Craving-wise, I'm craving a lot of junk food this time around."
She also dished on family life at home ahead of the baby's arrival, sharing how music plays a significant role in the trio's day-to-day life.
"It's pretty musical," Dewan said. "My daughter's pretty musical. Evie, she loves to dance and sing around the house. Steve's always playing music. We're always kind of dancing. It's a pretty musical household."

Flanders e Swann è stato un duo comico britannico. Il paroliere, attore e cantante Michael Flanders (1922–1975) e il compositore e pianista Donald Swann (1923–1994) collaborarono alla scrittura e all'esecuzione di canzoni comiche. Lavorarono insieme per la prima volta in una rivista scolastica nel 1939 e alla fine realizzarono insieme più di 100 canzoni comiche.
Tra il 1956 e il 1967, Flanders e Swann eseguirono le loro canzoni, intervallate da monologhi comici, nelle loro riviste di lunga data At the Drop of a Hat e At the Drop of Another Hat, che vennero portate in tournée in Gran Bretagna e all'estero. Entrambe le riviste vennero registrate in concerto (da George Martin) e il duo realizzò anche diverse registrazioni in studio.

Associazione musicale
Flanders e Swann frequentarono entrambi la Westminster School (dove nel luglio e nell'agosto del 1940 misero in scena una rivista chiamata Go To It) e la Christ Church di Oxford, due istituzioni legate da antica tradizione. Il duo si separò durante la seconda guerra mondiale, ma un incontro casuale, nel 1948, portò a una collaborazione musicale che diede vita a canzoni e opere leggere. Flanders scriveva le parole e Swann componeva la musica. Le loro canzoni sono state cantate da artisti come Ian Wallace e Joyce Grenfell.

Nel dicembre 1956, Flanders e Swann presero in affitto il New Lindsey Theatre, a Notting Hill, per eseguire la loro rivista per due uomini At the Drop of a Hat, che debuttò a Capodanno. Flanders cantava una selezione delle canzoni che avevano scritto, intervallate da monologhi comici, accompagnato da Swann al pianoforte. Una caratteristica insolita del loro spettacolo era che entrambi gli uomini rimanevano seduti durante gli spettacoli: Swann dietro il suo pianoforte e Flanders su una sedia a rotelle (avendo contratto la poliomielite nel 1943). Lo spettacolo ebbe successo e il mese successivo venne trasferito al Fortune Theatre, dove andò in scena per oltre due anni, prima di andare in tournée nel Regno Unito, negli Stati Uniti, in Canada e in Svizzera.

Nel 1963, Flanders e Swann realizzarono una seconda rivista, At the Drop of Another Hat, presentandola all'Haymarket Theatre. Nei quattro anni successivi girarono con una combinazione dei due spettacoli nel Regno Unito, Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Hong Kong, Stati Uniti e Canada, prima di finire al Booth Theatre di Broadway. Il 9 aprile 1967 si esibirono insieme nel loro ultimo spettacolo dal vivo. Dieci giorni dopo, si trasferirono in uno studio e registrarono lo spettacolo per la televisione.

Nel corso di 11 anni, Flanders e Swann tennero quasi 2.000 esibizioni dal vivo. Sebbene la loro collaborazione con gli spettacoli fosse terminata nel 1967, in seguito rimasero amici e collaborarono a progetti occasionali.

 Canzoni
Le canzoni di Flanders e Swann sono caratterizzate da spirito, satira gentile, complessi schemi di rime e ritornelli memorabili. Flanders ha commentato durante l'esibizione registrata di At the Drop of Another Hat:

Hanno scritto insieme più di cento canzoni comiche. Una canzone molto rara, "Vendor Librorum Floreat" (Lascia che il libraio fiorisca), venne pubblicata come singolo nel 1960. Venne scritta per l'annuale American Booksellers Association, l'unica volta in cui Flanders & Swann accettarono una commissione privata.

 Monologhi
I monologhi comici di Flanders includono:

 "By Air": sulla moda dei viaggi aerei. "Sono d'accordo con la vecchia signora che ha detto: "Se Dio avesse voluto che noi volassimo, non ci avrebbe mai dato le ferrovie."
 "Tried by the Centre Court" - una partita del Torneo di Wimbledon tra Miss L. Hammerfest e Miss Joan Hunter-Dunn, raccontata da un arbitro esasperato. "Stanno colpendo una palla con lo stomaco di un gatto".
 "Greensleeves": sullo sfondo della composizione della famosa aria inglese. Una versione annotata, che spiega tutte le battute, è disponibile online.
 Los Olividados - una satira sulla corrida, sul "dramma quasi insopportabile di una corrida d'olivas, o festival del ripieno delle olive". "Uno sport crudele: qualcuno potrebbe pensarlo. Ma questo è sicuramente più di uno sport, questa è più di una forma d'arte vitale. Ciò che abbiamo sperimentato qui oggi è una catarsi totale, nella recitazione di quel dramma primordiale, dell'uomo contrapposto all'olivo". Il titolo è un riferimento a Los Olvidados, o The Forgotten Ones, un film del 1950 del regista Luis Buñuel.
 "Built-up Area": un abitante preistorico della pianura di Salisbury si lamenta di un nuovo sviluppo: Stonehenge.

 Omaggio e parodia
Il duo comico costituito da Donald Brabbins e Teddy Fyffe ha messo in scena la parodia Armstrong & Miller come uno sketch ricorrente in The Armstrong and Miller Show'' in cui Brabbins parodia Flanders nei panni di Armstrong e Teddy Fyffe parodia Miller nei panni di Swann. Le parodie iniziano come una tipica esibizione di Flanders e Swann, ma le canzoni sono molto più oscene, spesso censurate per l'effetto comico.

Il cantautore britannico Frank Turner ha interpretato "The Armadillo" nel suo EP "Mittens".

"Mount Peter is the oldest, continually run, all-volunteer fall watch in the country!"
11 Year Summary 10 Year Average 2011 Dailies

Mount Peter's 54th annual fall Hawk Watch scored a rewarding 10,065 raptors for 2011, our seventh best result ever. Volunteers put in 411 hours during the 70-day watch between September 1 and November 15th and averaged 24.49 migrants per hour. Although no records were broken, Cooper's, Red-shoulders, Broadwings, Merlins and Peregrines trounced their 10-year averages.
After a slow start, including two days of heavy rain that caused severe flooding in the Warwick, NY area, Broadwings began to move on September 9 when 105 came through. The biggest push began on the 16th with 678, followed by three days of quadruple digits on light, variable winds. Ken Witkowski grabbed our best day with 2,170 on the 18th. Rain on the 23rd brought things to a halt, but by then, the bulk of our 7,417 Broadwings were south of us. Red-shouldered Hawks are traditionally late October migrants, but this season, 17 were already recorded by the end of September. Our two best days, October 7 and 30 produced 11 Shoulders apiece on strong, westerly winds. The 94 counted this season tied last year's tally, our third best since 1958: 38 were adults, 20 were immature and 36 were undetermined. Red-tailed Hawks never did find a wind that inspired them this season. The 248 that did go through was well below our 10-year average of 467. And our last buteo, the Rough-legged, never showed up at all.
Accipiters put on a better show. Sharp-shinned Hawks beat their 10-year average with 1,334 recorded. Carol Linguanti had the only three-digit day with 141 noted on moderate west winds. Overall, however, their 10-year average has fallen 51% from a similar 10-year period between 1981 and 1990. Our other major accipiter, the Cooper's Hawk had its second best fall ever, with 152 counted. It's average has increased by 58% using the same criteria. We were rewarded with two N. Goshawks this fall, October 3 and 7. Both were immature. The second barely cleared our platform and dropped below eyelevel behind the lookout as it headed south.
After an encouraging increase last season, American Kestrel numbers fell once again, coming in under our 10-year average with 153 noted: 31 male, 37 female, and 85 unknown. And comparing their present average to their 10-year average between 1981 and 1990 reveals an abysmal 79% decline. Its more muscular relative, the Merlin has increased by 55%, using the same criteria. This fall's tally of 25 was well above average. We do not record many falcons over our lookout, so scoring five Merlins twice, October 21st on brisk west winds and 24th on a moderate south wind, was rewarding. Peregrines also did better than average with 18 tallied.
Although a bit down from last year's numbers, the 187 Osprey counted was above our average. Our best day brought 19 over on light, SE winds. Carol Linguanti even bagged one on the late date of November 11. N. Harrier numbers were below average, with 41 noted: 5 male, 11 female, 9 immature, and 16 unknown. The Harrier is another species whose 10-year average has declined 52%.
The 70 Bald Eagles scored this fall was our second best tally: 42 adult, 27 immature and 1 undetermined. We also observed 25 more that headed north or east and weren't counted: 15 were adult and 27, immature. Tom Millard and B.A. McGrath tied our daily record with 10 recorded on September 16. The four Golden Eagles counted: 2 adult and 2 immature, was a bit under our average. Our local vultures gave us the usual headache, leaving us guessing when they were really moving on. Nevertheless, Tom Millard did manage to count 85 Turkey Vultures, October 30 that were probably inspired to leave after the freak snowstorm on the 29th.
Monarchs put on a nice show this season. Leaders managed to count 979 of them, with Tom Millard bagging the best count of 245 between 4:00 and 5:30 p.m. DST, September 17. He counted 207 more the next day. Twenty-two Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were detected. Carol Linguanti had the best day with seven on September 9. Most of the Blue Jays moved through in early October. Rob Stone garnered the high of 500 Jays, October 5. He also had an "impressive" flight of primarily Yellow-rumps and Black-throated Blue Warblers that same day from 10:30 until 11:00 a.m. DST. Tom Millard came in with the best Canada Goose count of 2,000+ on October 16. Denise Farrell had the best Brant count of 60, October 20, and Beverly Robertson scored our only Snow Goose, October 1. Local Ravens entertained us almost daily, including one that perched on our tower aerials and tried to pull off their caps. Non-feathered visitors included four Black Bears on October 24. A lone bear was the first to crash through the understory, about 25 feet from our lookout. Shortly after, a sow walked out of the woods with two cubs glued to her tail. Thankfully she walked towards the Appalachian Trail and not our platform. The first bear may have been a male, stalking the mom. The other significant unfeathered intrusion occurred November 10 when Denise encountered a screaming stranger who had taken possession of our watch sight. Police were called, but Denise was forced to conduct our watch from the Creamery below because the police only managed to coax the stranger down to our parking lot where she fell asleep in the weeds. Other interesting sightings included:
September 1 115 Chimney Swifts, 24 C. Nighthawks (another 10/25), 6 D.C. Cormorants, 1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and a Great-crested Flycatcher
September 3 first Pine Warbler, 1 D.C. Cormorant
September 4 first Redstarts, first Black-throated Greens
September 5 first Black-throated Blue, first Blackburnian, first Magnolia, a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and an E. Wood Pewee
September 8 Great Blue Heron (another 10/24), a Least Flycatcher
September 10 an Orchard Oriole
September 11 first Red-eyed Vireos, a Belted Kingfisher, first Black & White Warbler, first Scarlet Tanager
September 13 Yellow-throated Vireo
September 15 first Blackpoll
September 17 first N. Parula, first Yellow-rumped, first E. Phoebe
September 19 2 C. Loons (2 more 10/11)
September 25 2 House Wrens, first White-throated Sparrow, 13 D.C. Cormorants
September 26 first C. Yellowthroat, first E. Towhee, Veery
September 30 Red-headed Woodpecker
October 3 first Ruby-crowned Kinglet,
October 6 first Palm Warbler, 1 Red-winged Blackbird, 1 Chipping Sparrow, 1 Field Sparrow, 32 D.C. Cormorants
October 7 first Golden-crowned Kinglet, 2 N. Flickers, 66 Am. Robins, Philadelphia Vireo
October 9 Tennessee Warbler
October 20 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, first Dark-eyed Junco
October 21 Prairie Warbler
November 9 5 C. Mergansers
The volunteer crew who made this report possible seems undeterred by any obstacle, whether bears, threatening strangers, floods, snow, or detours around downed trees and wires. Special thanks goes to Matt Zeitler, a visitor who kept the first two hours of the count on October 30, to Tom Millard who took over in spite of 12 inches of snow that day, and to Bill O'Keefe who manned the watch the next day when 17A was blocked by downed trees. Denise Farrell deserves commendation for conducting a watch November 10 in spite of a threatening stranger. We owe a very big thanks to Denise, Gene Tappan and Ken Witkowski for helping with the clean up, and especially to Tom who rebuilt the stairs to the platform and installed our box. Thanks to Denise's efforts, we now have 21 years of historical data in Hawkcount, which qualified our data for inclusion in the Raptor Population Index project. Our daily data can be accessed at ww.hawkcount.org, thanks to Ajit Antony. We are deeply grateful for donations from Ajit and his wife Liza and from the Fyke Nature Association for sponsoring our site on Hawkcount. Check it out. Finally we are grateful to the NY Department of Environmental Conservation for their regular clean-ups and to our founders, the Fyke Nature Association of Bergen Count, NJ. We are very proud of all our volunteers who keep Mount Peter alive and enable us to brag that we're the oldest continually run, all-volunteer fall watch in the country.

First we need to make note that there are different versions of EnRoute. To create 3D files you need EnRoute Pro. I use the latest version EnRoute Pro 5. Earlier versions will do most of the things the later versions do but the speed of the program has really gotten much better of late.
When I fist opened EnRoute I had never created a vector, never mind a 3D file so it was absolutely scary and overwhelming. In the next series of posts I'll be doing my best to taking the mystery out of creating 3D files. I'll speak in plain english too and may get some of the tools proper names wrong. But I do know what they do, even how to do some things that aren't in any manual.
The key to learning enRoute is doing things again and again until you know them. Don't try and learn too much in one sitting. I know my brain can only absorb a few things before it goes to mush.
Then you open the program the first thing you need to do is define the plate. Go to the top right corner and click file>define plate.
There are lots of boxes to fill out but you only have to deal with there at this point... width (how wide is the piece you are creating) Height (how tall is your piece?) and thickness (how thick is the material you are planning to cut?) Usually I make the first two measurements a little larger than the sign I am making.
The tools can be rearranged how you like to use them and will be there the next time you open the program. The tools are grouped to make them easy to locate. I like my vector drawing tools on the left side. These tools are used to create new vectors which will define the reefs you are creating.
I used the rectangle tool to draw a box inside my plate. If I wanted it perfectly square I would have used my shift key at the same time I was drawing it. I could have entered the exact parameters in the boxes too to get precise results although I have yet to do it this way. You will note some options as well including adding a radius, chamfer or profile to the corners of the box and using the radius parameters to define the radius.
Once a closed vector is drawn we can create our first relief. I'm going to keep it simple and create a flat box. First I need to select the icon that opens the create relief function. Its the little yellow loaf of bread. Its actually called create a relief button.
Once you select the create a relief button the menu box will open. This can be used where it is or dragged near the plate where you are working. I tend to do the latter because I do a lot of screen shots for this blog.
There are many options within this menu. On the left are the functions. The top row has three. On the left is the dome tool. This creates round reliefs. The middle one creates bevelled reliefs and the one on the right (this one is selected in the picture) creates flat reliefs. If you hover your mouse over them they will tell you what their name is.
The bottom row of the right hand sets of buttons also is very important. The first, on the left is add-to (or create) a relief. Next is the subtract from a relief. The middle one is merge highest. Next is Merge lowest. and finally is replace relief. When we are building new reliefs we use the first button most of the time. Create or add to relief.
The center column has four functions. Normal (we use this one most of the time) The there there are used with the bevel and dome tools to create particular effects. We'll deal with these in later lessons.
The third column has three boxes which we can change as we please. The first is the height. If we put in a value of 0.5 the height of the relief will be 0.5. The middle box labeled "base" is the amount you wish the vertical sides of your bevel or dome to rise BEFORE the top sloped portion begins.
The last box is resolution. Many people freak out and worry about this box too much. a resolution of 50 dots per inch is plenty for routing - unless you are using a teeny bit to cut jewelry of something else real tiny. To give you a point of preference... if you are using a 1/8" bit with a zero overlap your DPI is actually 8 points per inch. I've never used higher than the stock setting of 50 on my work. A higher resolution will certainly bog down you computer on larger files.
So for this excursive I selected the box I had drawn, opened the create a relief box (little yellow loaf of bread), selected the create a flat relief button and ADD-TO (or create a relief. Then I entered a value of 0.400 inches. This will create a flat relief that is 0.4 inches tall.
Now it is time to check to make sure the program did what you thought it was going to do. Select the icon that looks like a light bulb. This will render your object. Also double click on the blue box that says TOP (view) This will give you the TOP, FRONT, SIDE and a three quarter perspective view. When I checked the rendered views I found that the file had done just what I wanted. I then double clicked the TOP box once more (which made it back to only the top view) I also clicked on that light bulb once more to hide the render so I could see my vectors once more.
Now I want to modify my relief. The relief if that box which is 0.4" thick. I'll do that by drawing an 'a' on top of the box. In the menu there is a letter 'A'. This is the type tool. If you hold it down there is a second hollow 'A' which converts the lettering you have created into vectors.
When I convert it to a relief it changes color. The outside vector (shape) is blue while the inside vector (hole) is red. This difference in color is very helpful as we get into more complex features down the road. Just understand that in this case the Blue shape will affect the relief we are modifying while the red vector (hole) will do nothing.
To modify the relief I first need to select the relief. Then I select the vectors which I will use as masks to define the areas I wish to modify.
Once I have selected the items I wish to use I push that yellow loaf of bread again to open the relief box. In the left side I punched the flat relief button and the ADD-TO button. In the middle column I do nothing. I type in a value of 0.2 inches. The angle does not matter since I am not creating any angles. Then hit apply. Think about what you wanted to happen.
Now double click on the TOP button (top left corner) to render the front, side and three quarter views. I got what I was expecting and so I could go back to my top view for the next procedure.
By clicking on the icon with a red X (delete reliefs) you will go back to just the vectors. Now it is time to try something else. First create a flat relief (as above) We'll use that same 'a' vector to modify the relief but this time we will use the level tool. It has a base of 0.2" which means the sides of the letter are 0.2" tall before the bevel starts. Then I set the angle of the bevel at 17 degrees. hit apply. Render the relief and check all of the views to make sure you got what you wanted.
Take it back to just vectors. Then start one last time. This time we'll do the same thing using the dome tool.
Don't forget the render and check it in the multiple views to make sure you got what you wanted. If it turns out weird it is because something wasn't quite right. Go back (hit the undo button) and do it again until you get what you want and also understand what happens.
Master and understand these basics before you move on to the next level. It will make things a whole lot easier down the road.


Whether at the 19th hole, or strolling the promenade, our 100% cotton, Bruntsfield Shirt will draw admiring glances. With a crisp, yet soft handle, two button-down breast pockets and neat Oxford trims on cuff, collar and button placket. Equally at home with a fleece top or one of our leather jackets.

Guided Weapons Training Institute
Guided Weapon Training Institute. located at Makarpura Palace, vadodara, is at present the only institute of its kind in the Indian Air Force. which trains Officers and airmen on Surface to Air guided weapon systems. It was originally formed as No 7 Ground Training School in 1963, to impart specialist training to Officers and Airmen, for operation and maintenance on DIVINA Missile System. In 1976, the unit was christened as No I Guided Weapon Training Institute. The specialist training on DIVINA missile system ceased in 1988. In 1990, the institute began imparting specialist training on operation and maintenance of OSA-AK. Training on operation and maintenance of IGLA system also started two years later in 1992. In 1975, the specialist training on operation and maintenance of Pechora ( SAM Ill) SAGW system started initially with the formation of 8 GTS AF at the Institute. However, the specialist training on missile system moved to Barrackpore in 1976. The same was relocated at Rajokri in 1988. In 2003, the GWTI at Rajokri moved from Rajokri and merged with the " "Institute at VÃ¥dodara. At present, the GWTI at Vadodara is the only institute which imparts specialist training for operation and maintenance of Pechora (SAM-III). OSA-AK-M (SAM 8) and IGLA (shoulder-fired missile). " "
Unit previously existed as 1 GWTI

One day, while taking my yoga teacher training at White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara with Tracey Rich and Ganga White, Tracey had us take a block of time to do a creative practice where she gave no formal guidance or instruction. She told us to let our bodies move guided only by our own intuition. I stood on my mat staring as if I was looking for something. My intuition perhaps? Well, I can tell you, I didn't find it. I moved awkwardly trying really hard to figure out what posture my body felt like moving into. My perception of that exercise was that I failed miserably. I attributed my failure to a lack of knowledge. A lack of not having enough asanas (postures) in my repertoire to access. It took years for me to realize that wasn't the problem. The problem was that I was using my mind the whole time. I was trying to think my way through the practice.
Yoga helps to establish the mind/body connection, but there is really more to it. Tracey was trying to get us to transcend thought just like what we do in meditation. There is no thinking or analyzing at this level. Intuition is a state of 'knowing.' It does not rely on information from books. And intuition does not originate in the mind in the way we normally see the mind (as the brain). Or maybe it does in some part of the right side, but it wasn't in the part of the brain I was functioning in. The point is that we can't 'think' and 'intuit' at the same time, no matter how good we are at multi-tasking.
In addition to this state of 'knowing', intuition is a 'feeling.' "I have a gut feeling about something," means I know something without having any information that would logically lead me to what I feel. So in this yoga exercise, I should have been 'feeling' what my body needed and how it wanted to move, instead of rummaging through my mental hatha yoga catalog trying to pick a posture. Yes, I needed to have an academic knowledge of asana. But, as with any kind of knowledge, there comes a tipping point where true integration takes place. That point where the depth of knowledge triggers a change or transition into the expanded awareness from which intuition shines through. This profound change is alchemy. We literally become the practice.
I've gotten much better at allowing intuition guide my asana practice. If you are used to popping in a DVD all the time when you do your yoga, try letting your intuition be your guide and feel the difference. Experiencing your practice as a moving meditation can be more purposeful and transformative than always following a set routine.

House of Representatives Passes DARK Act
July 27, 2015 by Linda Larsen
Center for Food Safety is expressing "deep disappointment" that the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed H.R. 1599, a bill that will not allow state and local governments to label and regulate genetically engineered foods. The bill codifies a voluntary labeling system approach, blocks the FDA from ever implementing mandatory GE food label, and would let food companies make misleading claims about how "natural" GE foods are. The bill is officially named The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015. But opponents have dubbed it Deny Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act. Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of Center for Food Safety said in a statement, "passage of this bill is an attempt by Monsanto and its agribusiness cronies to crush the democratic … [Read more...]

DARK Act to Prevent GE Labeling Introduced to Congress
April 1, 2015 by Linda Larsen
Representatives Mike Pompeo (R-KS) and G.K. Butterfield (D-NC) have introduced what opponents are calling the "DARK Act" to Congress. This bio would block both the FDA and individual states from requiring labels on GMO and GE foods. And it would also supplant mandatory disclosure with voluntary labeling standards. The Deny Americans the Right To Know (DARK) Act was debated in the House Agricultural Committee last week. Two committee members said that more diversity of opinion was needed on the bill before voting on it. The Act is called, ironically, the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015. Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of Center for Food Safety said in a statement, "This bill is simply not the solution Americans are looking for. An overwhelming majority of American … [Read more...]

USDA Approves GMO Apple Despite Health Concerns
February 17, 2015 by Linda Larsen
The USDA decided to approve a genetically modified (GMO) apple that doesn't brown after bruising or slicing. This apple, called the Arctic apple, was developed by Okanagan Specialty Fruits. The apple, called the "botox apple", is produced by using a new form of genetic engineering called RNA interference or gene silencing. Consumer advocates and food safety groups are concerned about this apple and the new method of producing it. Andrew Kimbrell, executive director for Center for Food Safety said in a statement, "This produce is completely unnecessary and poses numerous risks to apple growers, the food industry, and consumers. For USDA to turn a blind eye to these risks for such an inessential technological 'advance' is foolish and potentially costly." These apple trees could easily … [Read more...]

Right to Know Files Emergency Lawsuit in Oregon GE Labeling Recount
December 9, 2014 by Linda Larsen
According to the Center for Food Safety, Oregon citizens and Oregon Right to Know Campaign have filed an emergency lawsuit to ensure that their votes are properly counted in the recount of the Oregon GE labeling ballot measure. About 4,600 votes may be rejected. A mandatory statewide hand recount of Measure 92 is going on right now. The difference between "yes" and "no" was less than a tenth of a percentage point, or 812 votes. At this point, 4,600 ballots are being rejected without evidence of fraud or forgery. The lawsuit states, "these voters completed their ballots, signed their return identification envelopes pursuant to instructions provided by the Secretary of the State and local election officials, and timely returned their ballots. However, local election officials … have … [Read more...]
More Food Safety Election Day News
November 12, 2014 by Linda Larsen
The election may be over, but the food movement is still making news about ballot initiatives and members of Congress. In Oregon, the initiative to label genetically engineered foods is still too close to call. Measure 92 is only 6,900 votes behind, and enough absentee ballots are still outstanding that it may pass. The ballots will be counted until November 18. In Maui, voters passed an initiative to "prohibit the growth, testing, or cultivation of genetially engineered crops" until environmental and public health studies show they are safe. The opposition, consisting mostly Monsanto and Dow Chemical, spent $362 per vote and still lost. Voters in California's Humboldt County also voted to ban GE crops from their farmlands. Four other counties in California already ban these … [Read more...]

GE Simplot Potato Approved by USDA
A new genetically engineered potato is going to enter the market soon. The potato is engineered to produce little or no acrylamide, a carcinogen, when cooked at high temperatures. The Simplot Potato is made using a new type of genetic engineering called RNA interference (RNAi). The potato was approved last week by the USDA. Doug Gurian-Sherman, Center for Food Safety's director of sustainable agriculture said in a statement, "we simply don't know enough about RNA interference technology to determine whether GE crops developed with it are safe for people and the environment. If this is an attempt to giver crop biotechnology a more benign face, all it has really done is expose the inadequacies of the U.S. regulation of GE crops. These approvals are riddled with holes and are extremely … [Read more...]

USDA Approves New 2,4-D Resistant GE Corn and Soy
September 22, 2014 by Linda Larsen
The USDA has approved new GE corn and soy, which environmental and food safety advocates say will mean the release of millions of pounds of more pesticides into the environment. Center for Food Safety has condemned this decision to fully deregulate Dow Chemical's Enlist corn and soybeans. Those crops are engineered to withstand "repeated spraying of the herbicide 2,4-D." The EPA has yet to approve this new herbicide. Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of Center for Food Safety said in a statement, "2,4-D resistant crops pose a monumental threat to our nation's agricultural, environmental, and human health. With this approval comes millions of more pounds of toxic herbicides dumped onto our land. Center for Food Safety will pursue all available legal options to stop the … [Read more...]

Vermont Set to Enact Statewide GE Food Labeling Bill
The Vermont House voted to accept the Senate version of the GE labeling bill last week. Governor Shumlin is expected to sign the bill. All foods for sale in Vermont that are made with GE or GMO ingredients will have to carry a label effective July 1, 2016. The Center for Food Safety's executive director Andrew Kimbrell said, "this is an historic day for the people's right to know. It is now very clear that federal labeling of genetically engineered foods is going to happen in the foreseeable future. Should the industry try to challenge this law, Center for Food Safety will be there to help defend it and we are confident that it would survive any such challenge." While Vermont is not the first state to pass such a bill, it is the first bill that stands alone. No other states need to … [Read more...]

GE Food Labeling Bill Introduced in California
A new bill to label genetically engineered (GE) foods in California was introduced last week into the California senate. The bill is backed by the Center for Food Safety and other food safety and consumer advocates. It's sponsored by a coalition called Californians for GE Food Labeling. CFS west coast director Rebecca Spector said in a statement, "California consumers want the right to know what is in the food they eat, plain and simple. As a founding member of Californians for GE Food Labeling and lead authors of the legislation, we are proud to see our state legislators introduce this important bill."

The Center for Food Safety is criticizing the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) for trying to block states from mandating labeling of genetically engineered (GE) or genetically modified (GMO) foods. GMA just announced the formation of a group called "Coalition for Safe Affordable Food" that is comprised of chemical groups, big food corporations, and biotechnology lobbyists. They plan to thwart attempts to label food that contains modified ingredients. Andrew Kimbrell, executive director for Center for Food Safety (CFS) said in a statement, "these companies spent nearly $70 million in California and Washington state to defeat GE labeling initiatives.

MULATO INDIANS. The Mulato Indians, a subdivision of the Inocoplo Indians, originally lived in central Tamaulipas. When their area was brought under Spanish control in the middle eighteenth century, the Mulatos moved northward. Sometime prior to 1784 some of them arrived in San Antonio and entered San José y San Miguel de Aguayo Mission. Confusion may arise when mulato (Spanish for "mulatto") occurs in documents. The context must be carefully examined to determine if mulato refers to a caste or to a specific Indian group, as in this case. Swanton identified the Mulatos as Coahuiltecans, but this needs confirmation.

Q: Why does the application work this way? variables from controller do not appear in a view and view-helpers do not work:
for example I define a variable in controller:
$this->view->title = "Title";

and print it in a view:
echo $this->title;

The contents of the variable "titles" doesn't appear in the page.
Here is my bootstrap file:
use ZFBootstrap\View\Helper\Navigation\Menu;

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAutoload() {
    require_once '../application/views/helpers/LoggedInAs.php';//need to include a view-helper
    require_once '../application/plugins/AuthPlugin.php';
    require_once '../application/configs/configAcl.php';
    $frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
    $frontController->registerPlugin($auth = new AuthPlugin());
    $frontController->getRouter()->addDefaultRoutes();
    $autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
    $autoloader->setFallbackAutoloader(true);

    $this->bootstrap('layout');
    $layout=$this->getResource('layout');
    $view=$layout->getView();
    $config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH. '/configs/navigation.xml', 'nav');
    $container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
    $view->registerHelper(new Menu(), 'menu');
    $view->navigation($container);
    Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract::setDefaultAcl($acl);
    $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
    $identity = $auth->getIdentity();
     $role = ($auth->hasIdentity() && !empty($auth->getIdentity()->role))
            ? $auth->getIdentity()->role : 'guest';
   Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract::setDefaultRole($role);
    $view->navigation()->menu()->render();
    $view->navigation()->menu()->setMinDepth(1)->setUlClass('nav');
}

If instead I use this code
use ZFBootstrap\View\Helper\Navigation\Menu;

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initAutoload() {
    require_once '../application/plugins/AuthPlugin.php';
    require_once '../application/configs/configAcl.php';
    $frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
    $frontController->registerPlugin($auth = new AuthPlugin());
    $frontController->getRouter()->addDefaultRoutes();
    $autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
    $autoloader->setFallbackAutoloader(true);

    /*$this->bootstrap('layout');
    $layout=$this->getResource('layout');
    $view=$layout->getView();*/
    $config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH. '/configs/navigation.xml', 'nav');
    $container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
    /*$view = Zend_Layout::startMvc()->getView();
    $view->registerHelper(new Menu(), 'menu');
    $view->navigation($container);//->setAcl($acl)->setRole($auth->getStorage()->read()->role);
    */Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract::setDefaultAcl($acl);
    $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
    $identity = $auth->getIdentity();
     $role = ($auth->hasIdentity() && !empty($auth->getIdentity()->role))
            ? $auth->getIdentity()->role : 'guest';
   Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract::setDefaultRole($role);
    /*$view->navigation()->menu()->render();
    $view->navigation()->menu()->setMinDepth(1)->setUlClass('nav');*/
}

everything works exept navigation. The question is, why my navigation doesn't work and how can I fix it.

A: To begin with your Bootstrap.php is an utter mess. Start with some basic organization.
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
    /**
     * initialize the session
     */
    protected function _initsession()
    {
        Zend_Session::start();
    }

    /**
     * initialize the registry and assign application.ini to config namespace of Zend_Registry
     */
    protected function _initRegistry()
    {
        $config = new Zend_Config($this->getOptions());
        Zend_Registry::set('config', $config);
    }

When you want to manipulate the view object in your bootstrap you need to make sure to return the new view:
   /**
     * initialize the view and return it
     * @return \Zend_View
     */
    protected function _initView()
    {
        //Initialize view
        $view = new Zend_View();
        //add custom view helper path
        $view->addHelperPath('/../library/My/View/Helper');
        //set doctype for default layout
        $view->doctype(Zend_Registry::get('config')->resources->view->doctype);
        //set head meta data
        $view->headMeta()->setCharset(Zend_Registry::get('config')->resources->view->charset);
        //set css includes
        $view->headlink()->setStylesheet('/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css');
        $view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/main.css');
        //add javascript files
        $view->headScript()->setFile('/bootstrap/js/jquery.min.js');
        $view->headScript()->appendFile('/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js');
        //add the view to the view renderer
        $viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper(
                'ViewRenderer');
        $viewRenderer->setView($view);
        //Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
        return $view;
    }

As far as navigation is concerned. You can initialize your navigation container in the bootstrap but the actual view components will typically bet setup in the layout:
   /**
     * The bootstrap part as example, yours will likely be similar but different
     */
    protected function _initNavigation() {

        $config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/site.xml');
        $container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
        $registry = Zend_Registry::getInstance();
        $registry->set('Zend_Navigation', $container);
    }

Then in your layout file you may implement the navigation similar to:
<div id="nav">
    <?php echo $this->navigation()->menu()
               ->renderMenu(null, array(
                   'minDepth' => null,
                   'maxDepth' => 1,
                   'onlyActiveBranch' => TRUE
               )) ?>
</div>

One thing to keep in mind: The options we getting when we call $this->getOptions() in the _initRegistry() method come from the application.ini file. A large number of options are often initialize here.
//application.ini as example your settings will be somewhat different

Home Investigations Historic Buildings Bluestone Room
Bluestone Room
In 1861, whilst the rest of New Zealand was being settled; a nondescript block building goes up in the thriving commercial centre of the far-flung British colony of Auckland.
One hundred and fifty years later, the Bluestone Store resolutely remains anchored in Durham Lane, surrounded by high-rise apartments and offices.
It is now one Auckland's oldest commercial buildings, and referred to as The Bluestone Room. Located on Durham Lane, just off Queen Street, it's a superbly restored heritage building, with a stone floor entranceway, exposed native Kauri beams, wood panels atop bare volcanic stonewalls and rustic furnishings.
A plaque in the floor also records that it was the site of Auckland's first well, it's still there for customers to peer down into the crystal clear water, so there's definitely history when it comes to quenching the thirsts of inner city Aucklanders.
Combining this history with modern craft beer and a gastro pub, The Bluestone Room is a true hidden gem.
Named for the distinctive basalt volcanic stone – quarried and carted from Mt Wellington – the store has the Historic Places Trust's highest degree of protection as a category one building. It is also listed as historically significant by Auckland City Council, on both its operative and proposed district plans, and forms part of the Midtown Walk, as part of Auckland City Heritage Discovery Walks.
It is one of the city's oldest examples of a small 19th-century warehouse. The store survived the wrecking ball, which demolished the neighboring His Majesty's Theatre in the 1980s, a site now home to the 24-level CityLife Auckland Hotel. With the history it has, this place must have some ghosts.
A timber house was probably the first building on this site. The land was first listed by European settlers in 1842 in a crown grant.
The building's history shows that Levy & Goldwater was the building's first owner. Bernhard Levy and Nathan Goldwater were storekeepers requiring a warehouse for their goods.
The scoria building was designed by architect Reader Gilson Wood, born in Leicestershire, England, in 1821. He emigrated here in 1844, fought in the New Zealand Land Wars and was appointed Colonial Architect in 1849.
In 1865, Levy & Goldwater leased the building to auctioneers Charles Emmison Knapp and Morton Jones for £40 on a 99-year term.
1878, confectioner Edward Waters was listed on valuation rolls as the occupier of the building, followed by agricultural merchants Jakins & Wilcox, who advertised in the New Zealand Herald in 1870, selling malting barley, salt, butter, rye grass and bone flour.
New Zealand Insurance bought the stone store in 1882, but sold it four years later to Auckland merchant J. Craig, who owned it until 1919 when he sold it to department store owner John Court. During Craig's ownership of the building, the lease was taken over by Samuel Carey Brown of the adjacent Brown's Mill, who probably used the building as a storeroom for the coal he used to run his mill's engine.
Between 1911 and 1922, Kempthorne Prosser used the building for manure storage. Then it became a warehouse for John Court's department store. In 1936, it was sold to Kiwi Polish (NZ), who operated a factory and shop from the premises.
In 1963, L.W. Twist bought the building and had his customs agency on the first floor. He leased the ground floor to Top Twenty Promotions, who put a coffee bar in, then later transformed the building into a Night Club.
Originally named "The Top 20" which was re-named Radio Hauraki's "1480 Village", it then became "Club Bo-Peep" and then "Granny's" Nightclub – with Grandpas Bar upstairs.
Tommy Adderley – NZ's "Mr Rock and Roll" ventured into club ownership and operated the building as Bo-Peep nightclub, and as The Bo-Peep it was unlicensed, everybody was drinking "coke" there was a lot of under the table passing of little bottles of Rum…but no bar!
He then refurbished it and re-opened it as Granny's. This became the permanent home for The Headband. Granny's launched a number of successful bands over the years including Dragon, Ragnarok and the Paragons.
As Granny's, it was also owned by Human Instinct drummer Maurice Greer. During 1970 The Human Instinct (including Billy TK) played 3 nights a week residency at Club Bo Peep, on one occasion with guest band The Game (1970 Battle of the Bands Auckland Winners).
When The Rolling Stones visited NZ during the 1970s, Keith Richards's delighted a surprised crowd upstairs in Grandpas Bar with an impromptu performance after the concert.
However, by the end of 1977 it was largely derelict. In the early months of 1978 it was – and the word should be applied very loosely – 'refurbished' as Zwines, Auckland's second dedicated punk venue (the first, Hugh Lynn's Diamond Dogs in Queen Street, was short lived) where the Scavengers held a long residency. By then the building had a quite a history – so the rumor went – even Auckland's first jail?
But by the early 2000s, the block building was a cumbersome obstacle in a gravel-lined car park. They had paved the old Radio New Zealand studios across the road in Durham Lane to put up a parking lot, but the historic old stone building was still there.
Broken and deserted, the place which Max Merritt opened in the mid 60's and where Larry's Rebels, the Pleazers and the La De Das started their careers was now gutted and doubled as a workers' lunchroom, dwarfed by surrounding hotels and parking buildings.
In early 2003, quantity surveyors Kingston Partners estimated $445,000 was needed to fix its rusted and leaking roof, repair mortar, do carpentry and fix the brickwork. So in June, owners Rheingold Parking, lead by Randolf Baxter, undertook to carry out the restoration of the building in accordance with the conservation plan prepared by Dave Pearson Architects.
Since then, it has been earthquake strengthened and fully refurbished as a bar and restaurant downstairs, with a function room on the upstairs first floor. The interior was craftfully redecorated by Rolly Doyle, (who also set up Takapuna's Copper Room) and Ross Vickers (Danger Danger in Whangarei) and officially opened by Helen Clark the PM at the time

During 1987, two weeks into her role as the Minister of Conservation, Helen Clark saved the property by issuing a protection order, her first action as the Minister, a plague in the corner of the bar commemorates this.
As reviewed in September 2011 by stuff.co.nz The Bluestone Room comes in number one spot as one of Auckland City's Happiest Bars.
The Upstairs Function room possesses its own magical atmosphere, basking in old world charm and the most amazing history. The room has been designed with versatility in mind, and can cater to a host of function styles including corporate events, award dinners, cocktail parties, conferences, fashion shows, private parties, anniversaries and weddings. Forming an integral link to Auckland of old, The Bluestone Room's Kiwi-pioneering theme encompassing state-of-the-art audio-video technology and lighting creates a wonderful atmosphere for all occasions.
With its low ceilings and acres of faded heritage wood in the downstairs bar, The Bluestone Room is definitely more of a winter pub. There are a couple of outdoor tables out the front, but you're better off sharing a big table inside or parking yourself in a leather armchair in front of the fire.

First Impressions –
Ian – The bar is hidden away within a character heritage building in Auckland Central. It was first built in the 1850 and recently renovated. The exterior of the building is finished in basalt volcanic stone style in keeping with the original 1850s building. The employees were cleaning up so we moved and set up upstairs which seem to be the function room. The bar is modern and it is a very beautiful building. The floors are wooden and walls are stone, there are a few tables and chairs, some bar stools and a small stage. There is a bar at the back of the room and a 'staff only' area behind.
It is 2am but we can still hear noise outside. I didn't notice any change when I entered the building, it was just a bit weird being in a bar at 2am sober. The staff were welcoming and it seemed to be a nice friendly bar so I felt welcome
Matthew – It is a long, low building. As you first enter it almost feels like you are starting at the basement level. Due to the slope of the land the building actually goes into the ground, so the top story is also at ground level once you get to the rear of the building. It has a typical pub feel, but with innovative styled lighting to highlight the bluestone construction of the walls. The building itself consists of two long floors fundamentally, designed to suit its original purpose as a warehouse for storage of goods. As the function of the building has changed over the years there has been additional rooms and stairwells added to the back and front of the building. The downstairs bar had a closed in feeling. Being a long room, with multiple pillars and railings, the observer gets the effect you often feel in long corridors with multiple doors; that feeling that something could peer out at you at any moment. It was possible for multiple people to be seated in parts of the room and not be immediately noticed as you walked the length of the building.
Mark – I've always loved this old building and have been to a few functions there through the years.
As soon as you walk in, you can almost smell the history of the place! The solid stone walls and beautifully stained and polished woodwork is obviously well looked after and still maintains its stunning original charm and beauty.
I've always found the overall vibe of the place to be forever friendly and positive and the staff have never abandoned their cheerful and welcoming personas. It is obvious, through talking to a few of them during my visits there, that they do hold a special loyalty, love and pride for the Bluestone Room. Something that is rare these days and so good to see.
Ian – You enter from the ground floor into a modern bar, complete with a well, covered with a glass lid which was opened later in the night. We went upstairs first.
There are a few small 'staff only' areas on the way up. Upstairs seems to be the function only area as it didn't look like it was open to the public that night. We could hear street noise through the walls and room, a noisy city area. Downstairs is the main busy bar, stylishly decorated and with some tables and chairs in the area that they serve food. There are a few staff only areas which we did not go into but Mark did get into the computer and alarm room at the main entrance later in the night.
We were kindly allowed rare access to the historical well that is on the ground level bar. It is sealed with a solid glass lid, so that it can be walked on by patrons. On opening the lid we set about documenting the well in as many ways as possible. A Go-Pro camera was lowered down into the well by cable to film the interior and go deep down into the water that had filled a section of this fascinating piece of Auckland's history. A fascinating experience and a true privilege indeed!
Ian – I experienced nothing at all. I used a digital recorder for the whole investigation but did not record anything unusual. It was all open plan and a bit cold as we started the investigation at 2am but no unusual temperature drops or changes
Mark – I didn't personally experience anything that I would consider paranormal at this stage.
However in the short time we were there this is quite understandable. I did hear a few creaks and bangs mostly coming from the iron roofing above, so I'm guessing that it would've been caused by general contraction of the steel as the night got cooler.
I did however experience a moment of extreme dizziness and a headache whilst downstairs.
I was standing in a little alcove just inside the front entrance, looking at a shelving display of old historical trinkets and measuring temperatures and EMF levels in this area.
I noted that the levels were totally off the scale. Even standing a good meter or so away from the wall and a door the meter was still showing extreme levels. In this area were a security alarm and a fire alarm box, plus a power switch.
I was then overcome by a sudden dizziness and a piercing headache. Everything was 'spinning'.
I felt like I was going to collapse, so quickly moved from the area and sat down to regain myself.
After a few minutes I was fine, so returned to the area to re-check and confirm the high EMF readings. The staff member there opened the door for me, revealing a small office the size of a wardrobe cupboard. In this room was a desk and multiple computer and monitors, various alarm boxes, meters, power sources etc and much wiring linking everything together. Again the EMF levels were extremely high. Not wanting to be affected again I quickly closed the door and moved away. High levels of EMF have been the cause of many apparent paranormal experiences. Under high amounts of energy field a person may encounter nausea, feelings of unease, paranoia and feelings of being watched, sickness, nightmares, hallucinations and other negative effects.
Matt – While seated in the upstairs function area alone, I was conducting a communication session while wearing headphones amplified through a recorder. During this time I heard multiple knocks and taps, however none of these appeared to be in response to any of my questions, and none would repeat on queue. One particularly knock did give me fright at one stage, as it was much louder than I was expecting through the headphones, however I could not find anything that could have caused it, other than the normal settling noises that all buildings make.
At one point, I believe I saw a brief shadow move in the rear entrance-way into the upstairs function room. However upon reviewing the video from a DVR pointed in that direction, nothing appeared to be visible at the time. Given this event occurred at approximately 3:00am, and I had been awake for 20 hours, I believe this shadow was simply visual anomaly caused by tiredness.
Ian – It was only a short investigation. We did not have any control over the outside noise so it was hard to tell if noises and voices we heard were from the street or not. I did not feel like it was a typical investigation because it was in a brightly lit bar.
I think we did everything we could in such a short time. There are only 2 large open rooms that we had access to and behind the bars. It was great to have the well opened even though as expected the Go-Pro didn't capture anything unusual, worth a try. I recorded the whole investigation but apart from some taps just after questions, nothing unusual recorded.
I did make some audio recordings but it is not clear if they show any unusual activity. The buildings past does not highlight any event or person that might cause any energy or activity. It is a nice bar but in my opinion there is a history of companies being based here but only the jail is one that might have caused a long term effect. I think the bar staff might like something going on but I don't think we could find much here. Very nice place but I don't feel like it's one to look further into.
Matthew – Given the two-hour investigation window, it is difficult to fully pass judgement on the property. I did not experience anything which would lead me to believe the building is haunted, however that is not to say that activity could be occurring, and that we simply did not witness it during our brief time there. Being one of the oldest buildings in downtown Auckland, the Bluestone Room will have certainly seen a lot of life over the last 175 years, and if those stone walls could talk, I'm sure they'd have plenty of stories to tell.
A gun mounted in the ceiling.
Mark – I would really like to spend more time within those stone walls.
While we didn't capture, see, hear or feel anything that could be considered paranormal in our time there, we cannot discount the many stories that have been forthcoming throughout the years. Whether the stories are just a case of drunken misidentification, natural occurrence, expanded rumours, urban legend, or 'Chinese whispers', they still stand up as interesting tales that have travelled through time.
Even as a child, too young to get into drinking establishments to see live music, I had heard about this place and some of the stories of shadows, footsteps and other mysterious goings in its early years as a rock venue. Being a live music lover, I would've liked to have seen the venue as it was in those days. Better late than never I guess.
I was also glad that I got to experience first hand (and for the first time), the full potential of EMF (electromagnetic field), as it really opened my eyes as to how these fields can affect people. This knowledge will definitely be a big help in my future research.
The team would like to extend a huge Thank You to the management of the Bluestone Room for allowing us rare after-hours access behind the scenes in this beautiful building, and the staff that were so helpful with information and assisting us during our session.

Hi another historical building to check out is the Western Springs pumping station , built in 1875, i was a volunteer in the steam section at MOTAT in the mid 80s, the workers cottage where the engineers lived who operated the beam pumping engine is still on site,

Great piece of research, Very helpful for cross-referencing who was in there and when. Lots of stories to this day about uses for the building such as it was a women's prison at one point. There is zero evidence to support this or that it was a military barracks, or police stables. Regardless it has a fascinating history that crosses over with Brown's Mill and N.W. Stevens, household and foodstuffs manufacturer.

The Divorce Diaries: "I Found Out My Husband Was Having an Affair from Watching Simone Anderson's Instagram Stories"
By Alice O'Connell
The books we're reading, the vibrators we're using, the rants we're having and more in our weekly EDM.
Welcome to our series, The Divorce Diaries. Today we talk to Amber*, who found out that her husband of four years was cheating on her, in a very unusual way. "I caught my husband cheating on Instagram," she tells us.
In our past instalments over the last year we've covered everything from when you're most likely to divorce to whether they're contagious to whether being on the contraceptive pill can effect your chances! and have now spoken to dozens of women – including one whose husband announced he was leaving her to have an open relationship with a 19-year-old, another who was quite literally ghosted by her own husband and one who had been trying for a baby for a year when he finally admitted he'd had a vasectomy years earlier.
Amber had a secret little guilty pleasure she hadn't shared with anybody. Most afternoons she would sneak out of work for half an hour, get a coffee and trawl through different influencers' accounts on Instagram.
Meanwhile, it seems her husband John had quite a secret of his own – albeit a much less trivial one – and unfortunately, the two were about to intersect in the strangest way possible.
It was a regular Tuesday when Amber hit the 3pm slump and slipped out of the office for her normal little afternoon ritual. There, as she waited for her flat white, she scrolled through a few influencers – a couple she followed and a few she didn't want anyone to know she followed.
"A few of my friends have quite harsh things to say about Simone Anderson, but I can't help myself looking at her stories every day," shares Amber. "She has good cleaning tips! She's always so upbeat, it puts me in a good mood! Plus, she lives in a whole other world to me, it's great escapism."
She was partway through her coffee, and the last 24-hours of stories by Simone (who, for those who aren't familiar, is a Kiwi influencer with more than 315,000 followers) when she saw Simone was in a park that she knew quite well.
As she heard her name being called out for her coffee and made a beeline for the counter, she thought she saw something in the background at the park that also looked very familiar – a distinctive dress.
It's one she'd seen a colleague of her husband wear on a couple of occasions. Amber had remarked on it before, and the woman – Lisa – had told her she'd bought it from a little shop in Venice. Amber had never seen the pattern anywhere else.
So, was it Lisa in the background?
Amber decided to go back and take another look, just out of curiosity.
"It was definitely Lisa," she tells
And, intriguingly, there was someone else with her.
"I can't believe I recognised her first, and not my husband," tells Amber. "He was with her. They were walking. Like, next to each other. Like, right next to each other. She was in under his armpit and he had an arm around her. You could see his hand on her waist. I caught my husband cheating on Instagram."
Amber scrolled forward and back and forward and back, in disbelief, taking screenshots as she went.
"Then I text my friend who is good with phone stuff and asked her how you record something on your screen," she tells. Within a few minutes her friend had sent instructions and a YouTube tutorial and she quickly got the gist.
"I'm normally really quite private about my marriage and stuff – I think I was in shock," she tells. But after she made the videos, recording what she saw on Simone's stories, she opened up a WhatsApp group she had with two of her closest friends and uploaded the video.
'Do you see what I do? What the f*** do I do now?' she wrote.
A few minutes later the messages came in… "Is that… JOHN?"
"Who is he with?" "Are we sure it's him?"
One friend refused to believe it was evidence of John being up to no good. Or that it even was John.
'Her face doesn't look happy,' she floated. 'Maybe she just found out her dad has terminal cancer and he's comforting her?'
'Maybe,' the other friend wrote. 'But why wouldn't they just go for a walk around the block? Not drive to the other side of town?'
The story had been uploaded to Instagram that morning, so Amber decided to just send her husband a text: 'How is your day going?', figuring that if something awful had happened, he might mention it.
At 4.30pm her phone lit up with a message – it was from John. 'All good. Pretty busy! What do you feel like for dinner?'
Suddenly feeling sick, Amber headed home – all the while thinking of different scenarios as to why her husband and his co-worker might be walking around a park arm-in-arm that morning.
When John finally arrived home, she immediately asked him what he'd done that morning. If he'd left the office?
"He looked rattled, so…. That wasn't a good sign," she says.
John denied everything – even when Amber showed him the video.
"He said it could be anyone," she tells. "I would have been 75% sure it was him, but it was Lisa's dress that made me 100% sure that it was the two of them."
For three months, John and Amber stayed together – he continued to deny it was him in the video, or that there was anything going on with Lisa. Amber tried to forget it as best she could and would bury away the thoughts whenever they rose up – normally in the middle of the night.
But their relationship had changed and was strained.
"We argued lots, which we didn't use to," Amber tells.
And then the first lockdown happened and the pair were stuck at home together, where their issues only seemed to be more amplified.
When the lockdown lifted, they agreed to separate, and John moved out.
"It just wasn't working," she tells. "Every now and then the video would gnaw at me, and I'd bring it up and he'd fly off the handle. Like, 'Not this again! How many times do I have to tell you that wasn't me?!?'"
"I was right though," says Amber.
Because six months later she got word about where John was now living: Lisa's house.
"It was both a huge shock, and not a shock at all," she tells.
"But now everything is an insane mess," she continues. "We're in the process of divorcing and it's all turned very nasty. He's playing nasty and I'm really pushing back."
Amber says the fact that John has not once addressed the fact that he is in a relationship with Lisa – and that it was obviously them in the video, having an affair – has made the situation more difficult.
"But I don't think it's completely clouding my judgement," she says. "He's gone too far."
Amber says she and John didn't have a prenuptial agreement, but when they married she had inherited her grandmother's home and a substantial amount of money.
"We were in love and I assumed that everything would work out, and if it didn't, that John would be reasonable and not expect to take half of my grandmother's house."
But, unfortunately that hasn't been the case.
"The idea that he could cheat on me, lie about it and then get a divorce and think he can move the woman he cheated on me with, into my grandmother's home is… unthinkable."
Amber says it's why she wants to share her story.
"Nobody knows how I found out that he was cheating on me, except my two best friends – thankfully no one really asks, so this story will be easy to be kept anonymous. But hopefully people will click on it. Then I want women to know two things: One: Trust your gut – and your trusted girlfriends who tell you that your husband is cheating on you. Two: For God's sake get a prenup! No one goes into marriage thinking they're going to need one, that's the whole point. You might think you can trust your fiancé or husband to do the right thing, but there are no guarantees in this life, that's for sure."
Amber is hoping her situation will be resolved soon, but in the meantime, she's – quite understandably – furious about the money she has spent, trying to keep full ownership of her grandmother's house.
"Oh, can I add a third thing?" she asks. "If you do need a divorce, get a good lawyer. But not too good. Too good is too expensive. Just get one who feels your fire and is willing to fight hard for you."

Dolores Vees Establishes Scholarship to Assist First-Generation Students
The scholarship will award annually to a first-generation student who is majoring in psychology or counseling and development at the graduate level.
Vees, who retired as a counselor from the Rock Hill School District, now owns a private counseling practice in Rock Hill.
ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA – As a first-generation college student, Dolores Vees '72 knows firsthand the importance of having invaluable support throughout college.
That is why she recently established the Dolores Vees Endowed Scholarship at Winthrop University. The scholarship will award annually to a first-generation student who is majoring in psychology or counseling and development at the graduate level.
Vees, who retired as a counselor from the Rock Hill School District, now owns a private counseling practice in Rock Hill. "I'm committed to the counseling profession and I believe in the power of counselors to make a difference in someone's life," Vees said about establishing the scholarship.
Vees said she was compelled to designate the scholarship for first-generation students after hearing representatives with the American Counseling Association talk about the importance of assisting first-generation college students. That notion was reinforced after reading U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor's book, "My Beloved World." "Justice Sotomayor talked at length in her book about being a first-generation college student and the importance of mentors in her journey."
The Atlanta, Georgia, native earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Emory University and received her master's degree in counseling from Winthrop.
"I've always been drawn to students who had strong potential but just needed guidance and mentoring," said Vees. "This scholarship will support students, who like I did, need a little extra boost of support."
