Let us help you figure every detail out so you can focus on making your event just perfect.
What is a service charge? Is that a gratuity for the staff?
A service charge is an industry standard fee that covers all of the "behind the scenes" preparation and time incurred planning your event. Once you book with Farmhouse Group Events, we help you plan from beginning to end, so we take our time to attend meetings, site visits and vendor meet-ups specific to your event and the service charge covers the miles and time. The event staff hired for your event is paid hourly. You'll see a flat rate per staff member listed on your quote. There is not an automatic gratuity listed on your quote or invoice. Gratuity for staff is never expected, but always appreciated.
Can you accommodate special diets like vegan and/or gluten free?
Yes, absolutely! We are happy to work with you to accommodate the dietary needs of you and your guests. We are not a nut-free, gluten-free or kosher kitchen, so those ingredients are present in our kitchen, but we are happy to create meals without gluten or other allergens for you to enjoy.
How many guests do your private dining rooms hold?
We want to supply our own alcohol, can you provide bartenders?
The short answer: no, we can not. Given the stringent liquor laws in Vermont, a licensed bar service must supply and serve the alcohol.
If you are holding the event at a private residence, such as your own home, the homeowner is liable for any accidents that happen as a result of consumption. Be sure to check with your homeowner's insurance for coverage.
We provide a fully licensed, full service bar catering for your event and are happy to serve you.
Do you have a reduced rate for children?
Yes, we have a reduced rate for children 10 years of age and younger. We are able to supply children's meal options as well.
Do you have a reduced rate for vendor meals?
The rate of a vendor meal is the same as the entree rate on your quote. You are typically required to provide vendor meals for your photographer, videographer, DJ/band, bartenders, etc. We provide a meal for our own staff that you are not obliged to pay for.
Do you provide your own cooking equipment, plates, glassware, tables, chairs etc?
We provide display items and passing trays/cutting boards, cocktail napkins for cocktail hour and a few other small wares such as a cake cutting set, cake stands, wooden crates and more.
We do not provide flatware, glassware, china, ovens, stoves, tables or chairs. These items would need to be rented from a party rental company. See our list of recommended vendors for suggestions.
Once you set up your rental order, we are happy to manage it for you, so as your guest count fluctuates, we adjust the amount of items accordingly.
What do your require to be rented if there is no on-site kitchen?
We have a limited amount of items we provide for dessert, including chocolate stout cake, seasonal cheesecakes and pies and a few others for on-site and off-site events. For other desserts and wedding cakes we outsource from some of our favorite local bakeries. For a list of bakeries and recommended dessert vendors see our recommended vendor page.
Not for off-site events. We will cut and serve any dessert you provide.
For on-site private dining, there is a cake cutting fee of $2 per person.
Does the menu need to be final when we put down a deposit?
No. A deposit secures our services for the date. The menu can be a work in progress up to two months before the event date.
For off-site events, deposits are non-refundable. For on-site events, deposits are refundable up to 14 days prior.
We offer tastings for wedding clients. Tastings are held at 5:00 pm at Guild Tavern at a mutually convenient date during the months of November – April. Tastings are $50 per person + alcoholic beverages. This amount is applied to your event deposit if you book your event with us after your tasting. If you book your event with us prior to your tasting, a tasting for two is complimentary. Additional tasting guests are $50 per person + alcoholic beverages.
We require a deposit to book the event date. Payment for food catering and service must be paid by the date of the event. Consumption based bars are totaled and paid the week following the event.
We accept, cash, check and all major credit cards.
When must I give you a final guest count? What else is required of me?
We require a final guest count for off-site events 14 days prior.
For on-site events we require 48 hours.
For off-site events/weddings we require you to complete our Wedding & Event Checklist.
For on-site events, we require a deposit, a final guest count 48 hours prior, a timeline of your event, and arrangement for payment day-of.

Tax evasion prosecutions
HMRC prosecuted twice as many people for tax evasion in 2012 compared with the twelve months previously say Harris & Co chartered accountants Northampton who specialise in providing accountancy services to small businesses.
The tax authorities won 617 criminal prosecutions for tax evasion during 2012/13, up from 302 in 2011/12, according to figures obtained by Pinsent Masons. This is more than the department's own target of 565 prosecutions for the year, but comes after it missed a much lower target of 365 in 2011/12.
Jason Collins, Pinsent Masons partner, said: 'In the space of just one year, HMRC has massively ramped up the numbers of cases it takes to the criminal courts in order to clamp down on tax evasion.
"However, to hit that target and maximise the deterrent effect, HMRC is now taking criminal cases against the kind of tax evaders it would have previously seen as small time. This means criminal cases against middle class professionals and trades people who are evading what are relatively small sums of money.'
Collins claimed that buy-to-let investors, along with lawyers, doctors and financial consultants, are among those whose tax affairs are attracting strong interest from HMRC.
An HMRC spokesman denied that it was focusing on any specific groups, saying: 'HMRC ensures everyone pays the tax that is due, and clamps down on those who try to cheat the system - regardless of their occupation. HMRC has been tasked to increase prosecutions five-fold, and has been given almost £1bn to ensure that people play by the rules. HMRC is successful in 90% of prosecutions.'
In recent months HMRC has run targeted anti-evasion campaigns aimed at professions and trades such as doctors, plumbers and electricians, offering a period of amnesty for those who want to declare unpaid tax. To date, these have raised more than £600m.

Ventura, Gioacchino (1792-1861)
Ventura, Gioacchino (1792-1861) a popular preacher and a leading proponent of an alliance between the catholic church and liberty, Ventura, the son of Paolo Ventura, the Baron of Raulica, was born in Palermo on December 8, 1792. He studied under the Jesuits and despite the objection of his parents joined that order. Disenchanted with the new superior of the Sicilian Jesuits, Ventura left the Jesuits in 1817 and entered the Theatine order. He served as superior general of the Theatines from 1830 to 1833. Ventura, attracted to the traditionalism of de Maistre and de Bonald, was an early supporter of Lamennais, but he remained submissive to the papacy. Ventura attempted to use his influence with Pius IX to nudge the latter toward consultative and representative government. Chosen by Pius IX to deliver the funeral oration for Daniel O'Connell in June 1847, Ventura's identification of religion and liberty electrified Rome.
Ventura enthusiastically supported the Sicilian revolution of January 12, 1848, and was named minister plenipotentiary and extraordinary commissioner to Rome by the new government. He was, above all, a proponent of limited government, of decentralization, and of constitutionalism. He supported the war against Austria and opposed the appointment of Pellegrino Rossi as chief minister in Rome. After the assassination of Rossi, Ventura opposed the flight of Pius IX to Neapolitan Gaeta. He stayed in Rome to promote the Sicilian cause and to defend the interests of the pope, but he became increasingly critical of Pius IX. Ventura was one of three priests elected to the constituent assembly, but declined his seat. However, as the representative of the Sicilian republic, he did recognize the Roman republic. In May, Ventura went to Civitavecchia. Unable to dissuade General Oudinot from attacking Rome, Ventura went into exile in France at the end of July. Though he submitted to the authority of the pope, he remained an Italian patriot. In 1861, the year of his death in Versailles, Ventura expressed his support for the Italian Kingdom established by the Piedmontese.

Watch: President Biden Delivers Emotional Remembrance Of 500,000 COVID-19 Victims
By Scott Detrow
Published February 22, 2021 at 5:01 PM EST
President Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff hold a moment of silence and candlelight ceremony in honor of those who have lost their lives to the coronavirus.
President Biden and Vice President Harris acknowledged a grim milestone Monday: the deaths of more than 500,000 Americans from COVID-19.
Biden and Harris, along with first lady Jill Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff, emerged from the White House at sundown. They stood at the foot of the South Portico, covered in 500 candles honoring the dead, and listened to a Marine Corps band play "Amazing Grace" as they held a moment of silence.
Before the brief ceremony, Biden spoke, emotionally and somberly, from the White House. As he often does in moments of tragedy, Biden spoke directly to people who have lost friends and family members. "I know all too well," Biden said, "that black hole in your chest. You feel like you're being sucked into it. The survivor's remorse. The anger. The questions of faith in your soul."
Watch Biden's remarks here:
Biden's first wife and first daughter were killed in a car crash shortly before he was sworn in as a U.S. senator. His son Beau died from brain cancer when Biden was vice president.
While President Donald Trump repeatedly downplayed and sought to minimize the COVID-19 pandemic, Biden is pushing Americans to acknowledge and directly confront the enormity of the loss that the country has experienced over the past year, even if that action brings pain.
"We have to resist viewing each life as a statistic or a blur," he said Monday, in the second ceremony he has held to honor people killed in the ongoing pandemic.
"To heal, we must remember. It's hard, sometimes, to remember," Biden said on the eve of his inauguration in a similar ceremony at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. At that time, the U.S. had just marked 400,000 COVID-19 deaths. Remembering, he said, is "how we heal. It's important to do that as a nation."
Biden echoed that sentiment Monday, emphasizing his own experience of loss. "I know it's hard. I promise you," he said, "I remember."
Watch the ceremony here:
Biden acknowledged how each family touched by death during the pandemic has experienced a personal level of pain. "The birthdays, the anniversaries, the holidays without them. And the everyday things — the small things, the tiny things — that you miss the most: that scent when you open the closet, that park that you go by that you used to stroll in. That movie theater where you met. That morning coffee that you shared together."
Remarkably, Biden's inauguration-eve ceremony was the country's first national collective moment of mourning during a pandemic that has upended life around the world, has thrown the economy into a recession and, at this moment, has now killed a half-million people in the United States.
On Monday, ahead of the latest grim milestone, Biden ordered flags on federal property to be flown at half-staff for five days.
As grim of a marker as a half-million dead — more, Biden said Monday, than the American soldiers killed in both world wars and the Vietnam War combined — it comes at a time of comparative hope: New coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths are all declining. The vaccination of millions of Americans — as well as the federal government's purchase of hundreds of millions of additional vaccine doses — has pointed to an endpoint that could come sooner, rather than later. But experts caution that the progress is fragile.
Still, the equivalent of a large American city's population has now died from a disease outbreak that has lasted a bit more than a year. And no matter how quickly the U.S. achieves herd immunity through vaccination and people who have recovered from a coronavirus infection, there is no doubt that many thousands more will die.
"I promise you," Biden said Monday night, as he often does when delivering eulogies and marking deaths, "the day will come when the memory of the loved one you lost will bring a smile to your lips before a tear to your eye. It will come, I promise you."

Hyper –V can be used to create virtualized computers to improve the hardware efficiency. In this blog post I will try to cover how to create windows failover cluster using Hyper-V with out using multiple physical computers. Cluster we are building can be used to install Clustered SQL Server and similar cluster aware applications.
2. We will create two member servers which will act as two nodes of the cluster.
We will start the installation by Turning on window feature Hyper-V.
Once the Hyper-v feature is enabled open the hyper v manager and follow the below steps one by one.
Before creating virtual machine create virtual switch to configure network access between the computers which will create and name it.
Select the type of virtual switch for your virtual machines.
Give the name for your Virtual switch and click ok.
Now create New virtual machine by Right clicking SQLPC –>New->Virtual machine.
2.New virtual machine wizard will appear.Click Next to continue.
Specify the name for your virtual machine.Let us Create domain controller as DC.
Specify the amount of memory you want to allocate for this machine.Then,click Next.
Then install an Operating system from CD or as image file which you have in your system.
Browse and select the file for installation.Click open.
Now,click finish and complete the virtual machine wizard.
Similarly,Follow the above steps and create two cluster nodes as clusternode1 and clusternode2 .
Now Hyper –V manager will have three virtual machines which we created one as DC and others as clusternodes.
Cluster nodes will start running.
DC virtual machine connection window will appear,click next.
Installation window will appear,click install now to start installation.
Select the operating system you want to install.Select windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise(Full installation) for DC(domain controller).Click Next.
Give the password for login.
Domain controller is installed with OS.
Perform the task which you want or else close the window.
Configure TCP/IP address and enable LAN connection.
Give IP address ,subnet mask and default gateway ,click ok.
Give forest root domain which acts as domain.
Set forest functional level .Default Functional level is windows sever 2003.
Check DNS server and click Next.
Select the folder to store databases,log files and click Next.
Give the administrator password and click Next.
Summary of your selections will appear,review your selection and click next.
DNS installation will be completed.
Click Finish and complete domain services installation wizard.
Now do the similar things for cluster nodes 1&2.
Select computer->properties->computer name.Change the computer name and give domain name which you gave in DC.
Configure IPV4 properties for cluster nodes.
Now we have domain controller and member servers. We have to install failover cluster feature and make this members servers as node of cluster which we are going to create.
Once the cluster is created we have to create shared Disk for installing failover aware clustered application like SQL Server. Follow the steps in https://sqlserverscribbles.com/2013/06/16/how-to-create-shared-disk-using-iscsi-software-target/ to create a shared disk using iSCSI target software.

Biden kicks off 'Help is Here' tour
Home COVID-19 COVID-19-home Biden kicks off 'Help is Here' tour
By Ken Ryan President Joe Biden chose a flooring store in suburban Philadelphia for his first stop in a cross-country canvas to tout his administration's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package—what the White House is calling the "Help is Here" tour. The president visited Chester, Pa.-based Smith Flooring, a minority-owned/woman-owned business, where he spoke with Kristin Smith, president, and James Smith, vice president, on the benefits of the relief package for small businesses like theirs.
"I still haven't processed the gravity of it all," Kristin Smith told FCNews about the president's visit. "It was a memorable day for sure, but we don't feel like celebrities. We are a small business, a small, minority-owned business and what we do every day are the things that have to get done to run a business."
Smith said Biden spent nearly 45 minutes at the store discussing the elements of the relief package and asking questions related to their business. "[Biden's] a wonderful guy, so warm and personable," she said. "He'll just ask you what is on his mind. It was like a regular conversation, it wasn't 'politicky.' He got his points across on the help plan."
Biden has said the purpose of the 'Help is Here' tour is to educate Americans about what benefits the package provides and how they can access the relief. The administration estimates that 400,000 small businesses have closed because of the pandemic and millions more are barely surviving. His aid package includes a $28 billion grant program to support restaurants and drinking establishments. It also includes $15 billion in flexible grants.
The visit to Smith Flooring was meant to drive home that point. The business saw revenue fall about 20% during the pandemic. It recently qualified for a federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan during a two-week window in which the Biden administration focused the program exclusively on helping businesses with 20 or fewer employees. Smith Flooring had 23 employees during peak times but is currently employing 12 workers. It is using the loan to help retain workers and upgrade technology. Borrowers are eligible for forgiveness if they meet certain requirements, including devoting at least 60% of the proceeds to payroll expenses.
James Smith said the store will use the PPP loan to pay its employees. "Since the first run of PPP, we decided we wanted to take that money and not lay anyone off," he said. "We put everybody in a group and said, 'Look, we're gonna do this for you as a team, we're gonna get through this together.'"
Kristin Smith said she thanked President Biden for visiting, telling him, "not many people come out and stop here in Chester, and so we're just grateful. We're grateful for the things that you're doing."
Joining President Biden on the cross-country administration tour is Vice President Kamala Harris, her husband Doug Emhoff, and First Lady Jill Biden.

Is Sony Drafting A Silver Sable Script?
Sony, the keeper of the Spider-Man movie license from Marvel, may be drafting a Silver Sable script. "Who," you say? Silver Sable is a fairly obscure Spider-Man character. She was introduced in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN [1963] #265 in Jun 1985, has had only sporadic guest appearances since then, but starred in her own series, SILVER SABLE AND THE WILD PACK [1992] for 35 issues from 1992-95. (You may remember the #1 issue of that series with the silver embossed cardstock cover from the depths of the 90's gimmick cover craze. Today it's a variant cover glut. Back then it was embossed, holofoil, hologram, and die-cut covers galore.) As an antihero mercenary, she was cast opposite Spider-Man in moral juxtaposition, similar to […]

(Weapon X was the code name for Wolverine from his very first appearance way back in Hulk #181.) In 2002, Grant Morrison would expound further on the Weapon X program in his run on New X-Men #142-145, revealing the X was actually the Roman numeral ten, with nine previous experiments before Wolverine.

Campaign underway to preserve Indigenous languages
Globalisation has put Indigenous languages in a precarious position.
Studies indicate that by the end of the 21st century, 90 per cent of the world's 7000 languages could be lost.
But academics and educators across the Pacific, where a third of the world's living languages are from, are trying to halt the trend.
Will Mumford reports.
Actor Richard Green says he wants bring his native tongue Dharug, or Eyora, back to life.
Mr Green, who speaks eight Aboriginal languages, has joined academics, educators and linguists in calling for more effort to be put toward preserving the vast and diverse range of Indigenous languages in the Pacific.
The Pacific region is home to more than 2000 languages, however many are critically endangered and face the prospect of dying out in the coming decades.
A symposium at Sydney University has brought together experts in the field to discuss the status of indigenous languages in the French Pacific and Australia, and how we might better protect their future.
Professor Jaky Troy is the director of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research at the university and says when a language ceases to exist, it also has a broader cultural effect.
"It means that there is a lesser world. So when a language disappears in many ways the people associated with that language disappear, part of them disappears. All their knowledge, everything they know about themselves in their language goes with the language."
There are around 250 languages spoken by Australia's Indigenous communities, however many experts say there is a lack of engagement with and recognition of these languages.
Professor Troy says there needs to be a greater focus on language education in policy and the curriculum, as well as the arts and new media.
According to Professor Troy, Australia is behind other parts of the world when it comes to recognising and actively supporting the existence of native tongues.
"None of our Indigenous languages are national languages. We should have our languages alongside English, wouldn't it be wonderful if Australia was the country in the world with 251 national languages – English, plus the other 250. It's a sad thing that a lot of the countries where the English invaded English becomes the dominant language and is the only national language. But for other countries in the world, in spite of European invasion, the languages are recognised – so the French recognise the languages across French Polynesia, they are national languages as well in their constitutions."
Actor Richard Green says better public knowledge of local languages would help us explain the world around us and its history.
"The whole city is covered in this very language we're speaking about, when we're concerning ourselves with the Sydney language – the Dharug, Eyora – in that it's written on all the street signs, it's written in all the suburbs… I mean Bondi does not mean waves crashing on rocks, it's a five letter word that's mispronounced. It's Boondee and it means beach – so when are we going to be allowed to deal with our own language, instead of everyone else deciding what my Grandmother's tongue was. "
Aboriginal actor and television presenter Ernie Dingo spoke at a public forum held as part of the symposium.
He says native languages represent a self-contained form of history.
And through the quirks and idiosyncracies of languages, Dingo says we can understand something about the culture and geography of the people who speak them.
"Language is very important for people's identity. Before we had too much influences…you can tell where people come from by the sounds of the language because it reflects their environment."
Professor Troy says the preservation of languages has been proven to result in positive health outcomes and gives people a sense of cultural awareness and identity.
"There are studies now that demonstrate that where people speak their languages their health is better. Chronic disease is reduced, youth suicide is dramatically reduced. If you, as an Aboriginal person know that you and your language are recognised nationally, you're one of the people of the country. You're no longer somebody who sits sideways while English and imported culture dominates. "

Explainer: What is the List of World Heritage in Danger?
Peter Valentine, James Cook University
The List of World Heritage in Danger has recently come to the attention of Australians, as the World Heritage Committee considers whether the Great Barrier Reef belongs there.
What is the list, and what does getting onto it mean?
The World Heritage Convention and the 'in danger' list
The World Heritage Convention is an international convention adopted by UNESCO aimed at conserving the world's most outstanding heritage sites. The convention covers 190 countries that voluntarily participate in it. Identifying potential world heritage places is the responsibility of each participating country.
The World Heritage Committee – a 21-member body established by the convention but with membership elected by the member states – decides which sites make the list (there are currently 1,007). Countries have to protect, conserve, communicate the value of, rehabilitate and transmit the sites to future generations.
The government of Honduras requested the World Heritage Committee place its Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve on the List in Danger because of its reduced capacity to manage the site. Lawlessness in the area led to illegal logging, fishing and land occupation, poaching and the presence of drug traffickers. Hjvannes/Wikimedia Commons
The World Heritage Committee also publishes a second list: the "List of World Heritage in Danger".
Normally, for a site to enter this list, its country asks for help to address serious threats. But in cases of urgent need, the committee can inscribe a site immediately and without the agreement of its country. Currently, 46 World Heritage Sites, 20 of which are natural, are on the List in Danger.
The 46 sites currently on the List of World Heritage in Danger. UNESCO/Google Maps
How are sites added to the list?
The World Heritage Committee gets information about the state of conservation of sites from countries and from advisory bodies such as the IUCN (natural heritage) and ICOMOS (cultural heritage). Where threats have been identified or changes proposed that may adversely effect a World Heritage property, the committee may seek a detailed site examination. This happened on the Great Barrier Reef in 2012.
The Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, the largest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere, was put on the World Heritage in Danger List for excessive development. The Great Barrier Reef is under scrutiny for similar concerns. Asteiner/Wikimedia Commons
Two of the criteria used for placing a property on the list are ascertained and potential danger. Ascertained danger measures imminent threats, such as industrial development, to the site. Potential danger applies to development proposals that could undermine the essential character of the site.
Why list a site as 'in danger'?
There are some advantages to a country of having a site listed as "in danger". The World Heritage Committee can allocate funds to respond to the threats, typically under a plan drawn up with the country concerned. And it highlights to the world the threats that exist and encourages donor agencies to help.
For example, all five World Heritage Sites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been on the endangered list since 1994, which has generated a large amount of international aid to support their rehabilitation. More than US$50 million has flowed not just from UNESCO but also from non-government organisations and from Belgium and Japan. This is an excellent example of the convention at work.
Garamba National Park, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is home to the last known wild population of Northern White Rhinoceros. Continual poaching of the rhinos has caused the park to be added to the list on two separate occasions. Nuria Ortega/African Parks Network
Countries may seek to avoid listing (and any perceived shame attached to this) and address the concerns internally. This occurred when Ecuador's Galapagos World Heritage Area was inscribed.
Ecuador initially opposed the listing and asked for time to resolve the concerns internally. This required a constitutional change to empower the federal government to take appropriate action. Much to Ecuador's credit, this was accomplished.
Few other countries have taken such dramatic action to protect World Heritage. On two occasions when countries have failed to respond appropriately, the committee has taken the radical step to remove sites from both Heritage lists altogether. The first to be removed was Oman's Arabian Oryx Sanctuary – a victim of the nation's lust for oil.
Every such removal would be seen as a failure of the convention. The presumption is that a site is rehabilitated and then upgraded to its original standing on the World Heritage list.
While there has been some debate about its efficacy and there are different interpretations about the significance and meaning of listing a site as "in danger", the process is a very clear first step in the potential removal of a site from the World Heritage List.

Hockey accused of rental 'double dipping'
Joe Hockey has been attacked for what one voter has called "double dipping" as the debate on paid parental leave turned to political allowances.
Less than a fortnight out from the Abbott Government's second budget, the Treasurer took part in a special one guest episode of the ABC's Q&A program, facing questions on budget measures, marriage equality and tax reform.
Mr Hockey was questioned by audience member Mark Travers over allowances for politicians living away from home.
It follows allegations from News Corp Australia that Mr Hockey has claimed more than $100,000 in allowances relating to a house owned by his wife.
Mr Hockey said the allowances were not taxpayer-funded subsidies, citing it as a payment that applies for public servants that travel away.
"It has been a common practice on all sides of politics because ultimately most people want to have the same place over a number of years where they can leave their toothbrush at night," he said.
"That's what you want, instead of a hotel room or whatever the case or renting different accommodation as people do… I was away 185 days last year. You try to have the same bed, try to have the same place to leave a shirt."
'I'm sorry if you have taken offence'
Mr Hockey also apologised for the debate around his budget's new paid parental leave proposals, which has described parents accessing payments from both the government and employers as "rorters" who were "double dipping".
When pressed by host Tony Jones, the Treasurer conceded the wording was wrong.
"Yes, I totally accept that," he said.
"No problems. I accept that."
Mr Hockey took the chance to defend the government's new PPL proposal, saying costs had to be cut to meet childcare funding commitments.
"It was patently obvious that in the case of the government, we were paying a full wage replacement paid parental leave scheme to government employees and then they were also claiming $11,500 from the government's paid parental leave scheme which is separately delivered by Centrelink," he said.
"From our perspective, you couldn't do both and still put more money into childcare."
'It is like a sausage machine, right?'
Mr Hockey also continued his attack on the modelling commissioned by Labor which shows that the low income families will be hit hard by his second budget.
Modelling by the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) in Canberra stated that a family with two children and a single income of $65,000 will be $6164 a year worse off by 2018-19.
The modelling has not been released in full, a move which Mr Hockey said was "flawed".
"We haven't seen it," he said.
"You are asking me about something I haven't seen, the Government hasn't seen and most of the media haven't seen."
Mr Hockey went on to compare economic modelling to a sausage machine, saying "what you put in and what comes out" could be frightening.

Mercedes to hold factory inquest after Monaco gaffe
Although they won Sunday's showcase race for the third year in a row with Germany's Nico Rosberg, the headlines were all about how the dominant team blew a surefire victory for Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton had the race under control until the safety car was deployed some 14 laps from the end and the Briton was called in for a needless pitstop while rivals stayed out.
The world champion finished third, his overall lead over Rosberg halved to 10 points.
Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff said an extensive debrief had been carried out already involving about 100 personnel from the factory, engine side and trackside operations on Sunday evening.
"We discussed it in an overview and we get back together on Tuesday morning to analyse it and by then we will know where we had a gremlin in the system," the Austrian told reporters.
Hamilton, who was excused the post-race debrief and usual team media duties in Monaco, is unlikely to attend after struggling to comprehend what had happened.
Others were equally mystified, with former racer David Coulthard among those saying the driver was badly let down.
Wolff said the decision to declare a 'virtual safety car', a new development since last season, followed by a real safety car and Hamilton complaining about the state of his tyres had caught the team out.
They thought he had enough time to pit and rejoin the race in the lead but the figures were wrong, seemingly misled by unreliable GPS readings around the winding street circuit.
"The system, showing us a clear possibility of a free stop, was wrong by a couple of seconds," said Wolff. "In hindsight, if you look at it from a common sense standpoint, there is a very different logic."
Wolff would not say who made the call to pit and added Mercedes would not play the blame game anyway.
"I rate that guy and his group just as highly as I did before the race. He was dragged in by a decision, fooled by the numbers," said the boss.
"There is no doubt what happened. We had a problem in our data tools and those data tools have won us many great races."

Aussie to be sentenced in NY over drugs
US prosecutors have asked a judge to sentence a Queensland prison counseller to a maximum 12.
5 years' jail for his role in the massive global drug-trafficking website, Silk Road.
Peter Nash, 42, was facing a life sentence when he was arrested by the FBI and Australian authorities in Queensland in December, 2013.
However, prosecutors admitted Nash played a relatively minor role in Silk Road, had entered guilty pleas to drug trafficking conspiracy and money laundering charges and had an impressive history helping people with physical and intellectual disabilities.
"Given Nash's unique circumstances – both in terms of his low-level role and his mitigating personal factors – the government believes that a below-guidelines sentence is appropriate," prosecutors Serrin Turner and Timothy Howard told US District Court judge Thomas Griesa.
They have asked for a sentence of between 10 and 12.5 years, while Nash's lawyer argues the Australian should be given a time-served sentence for the 18 months he has been held in Australian and US jails.
Nash will be sentenced in a Manhattan court on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST).
An undercover operation by US authorities shut Silk Road down on October 2, 2013.
"The website was designed to make conducting illegal transactions on the internet as easy and frictionless as shopping online at mainstream e-commerce websites," prosecutors wrote in a sentencing submission.
Nash was living a double life.
During the day he worked as a senior manager of the Forensic Disability Service in Wacol, Queensland, where he helped intellectually-disabled adults in or facing jail and in his off hours was paid $US1,000 a week as a Silk Road forum moderator.
He didn't sell drugs on the site, but bought cocaine to feed his own addiction.
Nash on one occasion posted to a discussion thread tips on how drug sellers could evade narcotics detection efforts by Australian customs officers.
He wrote "Australian customs claim they inspect all international mail, either visually, with canine detection, or a scanner" but if vendors prepared their shipments "using non vapor permeable methods" then the chances of packages being scanned by Customs was "approximately nil".
"The scope of the criminal activity supported through Silk Road was staggering," prosecutors said.
The site had $US17.3 million in sales of cocaine, $US8.9 million in heroin and $US8.1 million in sales of methamphetamine.
"The dealers and buyers involved in these transactions were spread across the world, from Argentina to Australia, from the United States to the Ukraine," prosecutors said.
San Francisco-based site creator Ross Ulbricht, known as Dread Pirate Roberts, was convicted in February of seven charges, including conspiring to commit drug trafficking and money laundering, and faces a life sentence.

DUBAI: A rocket fired by the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists on a house on the outskirts of Yemen's Marib killed a Yemeni woman and wounded three others, according to Saudi state-run news channel Al-Ekhbariya.
A local source said the Katyusha rocket – which is fired from a truck – struck the home of one of the families who had returned from being displaced to their area in Jadaan northwest of Marib province.
The source — who was quoted by Yemeni Armed Forces site "26 September" — said the rocket killed one woman and wounded three others, one critically.
The source said the coup terrorists continue to target populated areas with Katyusha rockets, mortars and artillery in breach of international and humanitarian law.

AfricaRice inaugurates the Rice Biodiversity Center for Africa
The Rice Biodiversity Center for Africa (RBCA) was officially inaugurated by the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Côte d'Ivoire, Dr Abdallah Toikeusse Mabri, in the presence of the Minister for the Promotion of Rice, Mr Gaoussou Touré, on 21 February 2020, at the Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice) Research Station in M'bé near Bouaké, Côte d'Ivoire.
Describing the RBCA as a vital tool for African countries to boost their rice sector, Dr Mabri thanked the donors – the African Development Bank, the CGIAR Genebank Platform, the Global Crop Diversity Trust and AfricaRice member countries – for their strong support to AfricaRice in the establishment of the center in Côte d'Ivoire.
During his address, Mr Touré announced his ministry's firm resolve to collaborate closely with AfricaRice in its efforts to make Côte d'Ivoire self-sufficient in rice. "The RBCA is going to be a big help in this endeavor," he stated.
Representatives from AfricaRice Board and international and national partners attended the ceremony. The occasion was also graced by the presence of local government representatives and traditional chiefs from villages around the AfricaRice station in M'bé.
A major component of the RBCA is its new state-of-the-art genebank, which holds the largest collection of African rice in the world and the largest rice collection in Africa, with almost 22,000 accessions under long-term storage in trust for humanity and in accordance with the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA).
The genebank of the RBCA is one of the 11 international genebanks of the CGIAR System Organization. The genebank manages the rice genetic resources, including modern rice cultivars, traditional varieties and related wild species in Africa, entrusted to it by African countries.
These genetic resources are used to develop improved rice varieties adapted to African agro-ecologies. They contribute significantly to feeding the growing African population in the face of fast-changing environmental conditions and emerging challenges, especially climate change.
"AfricaRice has been, for more than four decades, at the forefront of international efforts to collect and conserve rice genetic resources in Africa," stated AfricaRice Director General, Dr Harold Roy-Macauley. "In the face of climate change, which requires the creation of climate-smart rice varieties, it is more than ever important to efficiently and effectively manage the diversity of rice accessions in the genebank of the RBCA."
The Head of the RBCA, Dr Marie-Noelle Ndjiondjop, added that the RBCA will not only safeguard rice diversity ex-situ but will also promote in-situ conservation. It will serve as a center for education to raise awareness on the need for safeguarding rice diversity, the role of rice in food security and the importance of farmers as saviors of traditional rice varieties and rice customs and traditions in Africa. Its doors will, therefore, be open to visitors including research scientists, farmers, youths and all categories of rice stakeholders.
"The RBCA is a valuable research, educational and cultural asset for the entire world and for Africa in particular. It constitutes a pillar in the realization of the global objectives of food and nutrition security and poverty reduction," concluded Dr Roy-Macauley.

It's not too late. We are looking for your great ideas, presentations, and expertise to help make the 2017 WVAHPERD State Convention the best ever! Click the link below to submit your proposal. We have extended the deadline, so it's NOT TOO LATE!


In her second blog of the season, Mary Kaye crunches the numbers from Membership, to defence, to lucky shorts. Catch up on more of her blogs at Ladies Who League.
20. That is the number of points that Michael 'Flash' Gordon has scored in the first 4 rounds.
143. That is the number of tackles that Beau Scott has made in the first 4 rounds.
10. That is the number of offloads that Junior Paulo has made in the first 4 rounds.
0. That is the number of points the Wests Tigers scored on Easter Monday (and it is only the second time this decade that the Blue and Gold have managed to keep a team scoreless).
19,924. That's the number of Members that Parramatta have so far this year.
While I love all these numbers, my favourite number of the season so far is 3. With the victory over the Wests Tigers, our men in Blue and Gold have now made it three wins in a row for the first time since mid-way through the 2015 season.
It has been a very pleasing start to the season for the Eels. With wins over the reigning premiers, the North Queensland Cowboys, arch-rivals the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and the Wests Tigers, one of the best attacking teams in the competition, there is plenty for us to get excited about.
It is such a joy to see the new faces to our squad settling in so quickly and already making such an impact.
Beau Scott has revolutionised our defence. He reminds me of Nathan Hindmarsh - always there to make one more tackle - and is absolutely relentless.
Kieran Foran has proven to be an absolute competitor in all that he does. He was vocal in leadership from the moment the whistle blew on Easter Monday and is looking like the perfect partner for Corey Norman in our halves.
Michael Gordon is our new 'head-taped hero' and is such a reliable fullback. I never get sick of seeing him zip around the field and with 488 metres, he is second only to Semi Radradra in terms of metres made.
Then, of course, there are the fan favourites. Semi Radradra already has 2 tries this season and it is no surprise to me that he is being spoken about as a real Origin contender (if only he was eligible). Junior Paulo is trying his hand at being a ball player, with the most off loads out of any player in our team and the Blue and Gold Army erupts every single time Kenny Edwards takes the field.
Whilst there are rumblings happening off the field, as fans, all we can do is turn up each and every week and support the team and with big crowds for the first 4 games of this season, the players certainly know that they have the support of the Blue and Gold Army behind them.
The next month sees the Eels take on the Penrith Panthers at home, the Canberra Raiders at home, the Sea Eagles away and the North Queensland Cowboys away. It's going to be a big couple of weeks.
Let's start with this Sunday. I look forward to seeing all of you for our game against Penrith on Sunday afternoon. There's nothing quite like Sunday afternoon football at Pirtek - let's send Penrith back to the foot of the mountains without the two points and make it 4 in a row.
And just a note to whoever picks the kit each week ... the Eels are now 2 from 2 when wearing the gold shorts. Just saying.

Two people were Saturday attacked by gunmen believed to be Fulani herdsmen in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The victims identified as Mr. Alayos Vincent and Mr. Dung Vwos were reportedly ambushed between Bell and Sho villages at about 7pm as the All Progressives Congress (APC) was rounding off its Presidential campaign rally in Jos.
While Mr. Vincent was said to have survived with bullet wounds, Mr. Vwos reportedly died at the spot.
The attack has been confirmed by the Member representing Barkin Ladi constituency in the Plateau State House of Assembly, Mr. Peter Gyendeng.
No comment has been obtained from security officials yet.


I was wondering if anyone can help me physically locate the hot and cold water low point drain valves. I have the diagram from Thor and I know where they are suppose to be but I can not see ore reach them? I have removed every panel I can but still can not locate them. Any help would be great.
I finally found them! I had to pull out the power center so i could slide my hand behind it and reach around the vent ducts. Then I could just reach them. This location is totally ridiculous so i ended up mounting 2 brass ball valves to the drain lines that I can open and close from outside the coach. Once they were installed I left the inside valves open and then reinstalled the power center. Now when I want to drain the system I simply reach under the coach and flip the valves.


We were welcomed in July 84 at the Unit/Pitt Gallery in a large premise on Powell Street in Gastown, Vancouver. An exhibition mixing classical painting and computer generated graphics around recursive patterns and fractals was our objective. We were exploring a domain where artistic creation is mixed with scientific reason.
By nowadays standard the images are not very impressive but let's not forget we didn't have « Fractal Generators » and fast machines. We were writing programs that ran nights and days to produce one image… And then we took photos of our screens because color printing was not yet an option !
The Unit/Pitt Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of computer art works by the Grey Point Fractalists, a Vancouver based collaboration of artists and mathematicians. As well as paintings influenced by the rapid advance of computer technology within our society, the exhibition will consist of process works written for the IBM P.C. and the Commodore 64 personal computers. These pieces deal primarily witht he mathematical concept of the Fractal, used to describe the morphology of nature. A Fractal is a pattern in which large units and small units exhibit the same shape and behaviour, as seen in the growth of crystals, or the branching and rebranching of green plants. It is the element of randomness within more or less fixed structures which creates infinite variety in nature. It is the relationship between physical laws and the unpredictable ("creative") factor that is the real subject of the exhibition.
The show opens with a reception on Monday, July 16, and will run to July 28. Gallery hours 12 to 5, Tuesday to Saturday.


After 15 years of Dream Car Competitions, Satwinder Johar has become the first BOTB player to win twice, adding a Porsche Cayenne Turbo to the Mercedes AMG GT he scooped a little while ago! Satwinder was on holiday in India when we contacted him to let him know the good news − he answered Will's call while driving and was so shocked he immediately had to pull over! A few minutes later we caught up with Satwinder on Skype − he was understandably elated− and still shaking!

Past NMX/BlogWorld speaker Brian Solis recently released his latest book, What's the Future of Business: Changing the Way Businesses Create Experiences.
It is easy to point to new media and say, "That is the future of business." It's a little harder, though, to stop paining in broad strokes and really define what new media means for businesses and how our understanding and use of these technologies is changing the future.
Business future forecasting is really a very tough job. I'll certainly pick up this book. It seems good.
Anything that Brian writes is great–I've definitely been a fan for a while now.
When we say "new media" what exactly do we mean? Podcasting, Tweeting, Blogging, Video?
I think "new media" is a phrase that is constantly changing. Right now, I think it applies to digital media (as opposed to print media which falls more into the "traditional" category). But how long can something be called "new"? Kids born today will have never experienced a world without the Internet and terms like blogging, podcasting, and tweeting will be part of their vocabulary. So, how long before today's "new media" becomes traditional media as well?


In general it is not critical that all connections be stopped prior to a promotion as the script will promote in a safe fashion. Ideally you do want connections associated with background work to wrap up before the promotion so that work does not have to be restarted. These checks are designed to help prevent errors from showing up in the application about the database disconnecting client connections.
When you run the commands below you will see the query associated with your own connection, but generally, when accessing as your application user, should not see any other connections.

A: Certainly you need to remove the call to Form2->Refresh. That asks the form to repaint itself immediately. That cannot help.
Secondly, your code handles the OnPaint event of a TPaintBox control. You are expected to paint on the canvas of TPaintBox rather than the form's canvas. Change all references to this->Canvas to instead refer to PaintBox1->Canvas. You may also need to correct the coordinates used to when painting.
Alternatively you could keep your existing code, and remove the paint box altogether. In which case take your current code and attach it to the form's OnPaint handler instead.
As for double buffering, you could let the VCL do it for you. Set the form's DoubleBuffered property to true. That is all you need to do, although be warned that it can have undesirable consequences on the visual appearance of certain control in certain themes. Be alert for any problems.
If you want to do the double buffering your self it is easy enough. Create a TBitmap. Set its size appropriately. Draw your lines to the Canvas of the bitmap. Then draw the bitmap onto the paint box canvas, or the form's canvas.


In this volume, Savas L. Tsohatzidis brings together a team of leading experts to provide up-to-date perspectives on the work of J. L. Austin, a major figure in twentieth-century philosophy and an important contributor to theories of language, truth, perception, and knowledge. Focusing on aspects of Austin's writings in these four areas, the volume's ten original essays critically examine central elements of his philosophy, exploring their interrelationships, their historical context, their reception, and their implications for key issues of contemporary philosophical research. The volume deepens our understanding of Austin's philosophy while illustrating its continuing significance, and will appeal to students and scholars of modern philosophy, particularly to those interested in the philosophy of language and epistemology.


I had an expression "I haven't been everywhere, but it is on my list." This was the psychology of my "future self".
People are works in progress who mistakenly think they are finished. Hint. That is not the case.
Middle-aged people rushed to divorce people who young adults rushed to marry. Older adults work hard to lose what middle-aged adults worked hard to gain. On and on and on. The question is, as a psychologist, that fascinates me is, why do we make decisions that our future selves so often regret?

"I used to think living and working on a ship was bad----so I stopped thinking! "
I am looking at some of my adventures, which were nothing more than bad planning! The ease of remembering versus the difficulty of imagining. I can remember who I was 4 years ago, but I find it hard to imagine who and where I am going to be.
The power of Now, wherever I go there I am-gets trumped by a false belief- an illusion that history, my personal history, has just come to an end, that I have just recently become the person that I was always meant to be and will be for the rest of my life. That I am STUCK on a ship.
Therefore, NOW--- the present is a magic time. It's a watershed on the timeline. It's the moment at which I finally become my self. Nevertheless, we are all works in progress, and the person I am right now is as transient, fleeting and temporary as the person I have been. Cruising-living and working on a ship reminds me of this.
REAL travel writing is about leading an interesting life and having a good time. It's less about where you go and more about who you go with or end up meeting along the way.
How can I compose a story big enough, deep enough and broad enough to encompass the reality of my life? When I'm at sea, immersed in action, I am the protagonist, You can't create experiences like this, you undergo them.
Space travel sure is fun. Greetings from the user-friendly universe---The Peoples Republic of Santa Monica;Home of The Mac Store, and Apple, the forbidden fruit.
First in January, I was in the Majik Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a bit like Mars.
Then in February, I went to The Land of Smiles, Thailand, and walked on the moon.

but you have to raise your sails and just go.
Putting the He in Hero, all action/adventure films have the same moral: Perseverance pays. Of all the things I am not very content at doing,living on land is the most outstanding. I was an armchair sea dog, growing up on LAWNGUYLAND(L.I.) New York, dreaming of going places, but I never stepped foot even in a motor boat, never started and therefore I never failed.
Considering how much inner "nomad" is in each of us, in adulthood I gave myself permission to LEAVE ASAP, and imaginatively re-create(d) my ID in line with my true allegiances of a place noted for second chances, Venice Beach, California.
.My universe is made of stories, not atoms: land, air and sea travel and the power of now. If I wanted to be a multinational soul, I couldn't do it in cities where I taught English like New York or Los Angeles, Paris or Tokyo alone-I needed to get consecrated by sailing on the oceans. It's a wonderful thing to get rid of everything and everybody and just go some place where you don't know anyone; where, as Melville said,"God's one and only voice is Silence."
Despite the undoubted camaraderie, the laughs, the jollies and the sense of tribalism that attends any cruising project, the profession remains a notoriously lonely one. Friendships are intense but brief; when the gig ends or the curtain runs down, you can soon find yourself back home staring at your cell phone and wondering if any of it really happened. Memories are short, time moves on, fame is transitory.
I probably not learning enough!
The word "blessing" actually comes from the French blessure, which means "wound." So, a blessing always has that other side to it, My cruising obsession (this invisible wound) is like a private religion. It's where the bulk of my spirit is actually invested. Yet I have been divinely compensated.The wisdom of this excess is that We die to the present tense and are born again in future perfect---the heroes of our own lives.

You can teach an old DOGma new tricks. Neurons that wire together fire together. I am not seeking a meaning to life, but the experience of being ALIVE. I am longer hard-wired per se for cruise ships. My brain is plastic. The hunt for HAPPY is repetition. I enjoy the navel gazing concussions, the Lakota-style sweat lodge ceremonies, the power of NEW and the power of NOW. That will never change.Life Extension: The "prescription" for my happiness. I'm not going to the doctor or the mall, I'm going on a trip.
Fade IN: Leaving a ritual and habit of ordinary living, I embarked on an unplanned trip and became The Accidental Sailor.
For reasons of necessity rather than a sense of innate wanderlust, I am at sea because it gives me something to do and a place to be. Magnetized and full of charisma, I always managed to stay on course, without realizing it. Sometimes I quip---Success at sea is continued enthusiasm despite failure after failure, because there are so many variables, but in the end, you don't quit jobs, you quit people. FunEmployment has a limited lifespan.
Never heard of FunEmployment? It's the person who quits his job or takes advantage of being out of a "job" to have the time of their life. Instead of punching a clock, you head for the beach. In my case, the high seas.
but nothing less than bad planning.
I'm beginning to think that maybe it's not just how much I love being at sea. Maybe what matters is who I am when I'm doing it. I'm my best self. Character is doing what's right when no one is looking. All of ones problems come from the inability to spend time quietly alone in ones "room".
As much as I detest the travel (sometimes) —I love the writing and the introspection—the virtuous delights of organizing a disorganized country, itinerary or culture, and comparing it to my state of mind at that moment , stripping away the inessential and the second-rate, classifying all that remains in neat, terse blog posts, building a solid foundation with the bricks that these ports of call and at sea have thrown at me.
The winds of grace always blow for us but you have to raise your sails and just go.
Any port in a storm won't do. You need to be content with the weather of the day-to-day-The whole secret is to have NO FEAR. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Written on the gates of hell is abandon all hope" Written in the heart and mind of a Buddha " reject all help" Only then are you freed.
Sure living at sea is hours of boredom tinged with moments of hysteria- sometimes the waters are so rough you get sea sick, but I never found these as excuses to remain ashore except for biking…and it's lonely at times, but I call that solitude. Freedom is not free but it is not for sale and can't be purchased in a 7 day cruise. Sure it's fun- all the food and drink and music and noise; but pleasure is not happiness. Happiness is balance and following your bliss, and connecting with the divine. The sea is the place I house my soul and access my higher self.
There are three sorts of people; those who are alive, those who are dead, and those who are at sea.
I would value-add that by saying ,Freedom is what you do to what has been done to you by your own thoughts, words and actions. (See my blog post As Seen On TV).
Ah Ft Lauderdale-the boats are smaller this month 60 meters long or less- due to the fact that most are in The Hampton's or The Med. Yes! Palm Trees, Spring Break, Retirement Homes, and Cheap Hotels.

On Wednesday, City Council President Gene Ricciardi provided me with a copy of the bound volume, "Buhl Planetarium Assets," that apparently was compiled by the Department of General Services on January 23. The inventory of building assets is quite good, supplemented by great photographs!
I am impressed by the detail included in this inventory, including all of the seating of both theaters, and even miscellaneous parts and equipment! Respectfully, I do have some additions to make to this inventory.
Of course, the most important asset in the Theater of the Stars is the Zeiss II Planetarium Projector, now the oldest operable, major planetarium projector in the world! I am glad to see that, in addition to the projector, the Control Console was also included in the inventory.
Three other significant artifacts, in the Theater of the Stars, should also be inventoried. The Zeiss projector sits on a rather unique "worm-gear" elevator manufactured by our hometown Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Often, engineers visiting Buhl would ask to be taken to the projector pit to view this unique elevator. And, Buhl's Zeiss projector was the first projector in the world to be placed on an elevator, to allow greater flexibility in the use of the Theater!
Along the north wall of the Theater of the Stars is the world's first theatrical stage in a planetarium! The City inventory does mention the two sets of stage drapes, but not the stage itself. Via an electric motor, this stage can actually expand into the Theater, on its own two tracks. The stage was used several times a year for different programs including student presentations during the annual Foreign Language Festival, and "St. Luke" telling the Christmas Story during the annual planetarium show, The Star of Bethlehem.
Last, and certainly not least, the inventory should include the 65-foot diameter inner dome of the Theater of the Stars. As you may know, the dome seen from outside is not the dome used for projection of the stars. The outer dome is used to protect the Theater from the weather. A stainless steel inner dome, perforated with thousands of holes for ventilation and proper acoustics, is suspended below the outer dome for actual viewing of the planetarium sky.
This dome is just as important as the planetarium projector—without a usable dome, the projector is useless. I am concerned that the Children's Museum's rehabilitation proposal may include the removal of the dome, or the dome may be significantly altered. In either case, the Zeiss projector would then be rendered useless.
As a ready-made auditorium and theater, the Children's Museum could continue using the Theater of the Stars for theatrical uses. The Zeiss projector could be kept below floor level, when not in use.
Tomorrow, I will comment on assets, in other parts of the Buhl Planetarium building, which should be included in the City inventory.

Amusing Monday: Winning photo to grace national parks pass
Cameron Teller's winning photograph in the "Share the Experience" contest shows a young polar bear reaching up to its mother.
National Park Foundation
Cameron Teller of Seattle, a former Kitsap County resident, is the Grand Prize winner in the "Share the Experience" photo contest — which means his touching photo of a polar bear and her cub will receive prominent display on next year's annual pass for entrance into national parks and other federal lands.
Cameron's photo was among 22,000 images submitted last year in the annual contest, which provides a $10,000 prize to the winner.
Cameron snapped the shot from a boat a good distance away, just as the cub reached its mother. The amateur photographer had gone out on the boat as part of a six-person tour to Alaska's remote Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where the group was focused on seeing polar bears and Northern Lights.
"I love going on trips to faraway places and taking photographs," Cameron told me.
The group had flown from Fairbanks to Deadhorse, Alaska, then onto Kaktovik, the only village inside the wildlife refuge. A guide took them out on a fishing boat, where they spent the day photographing wildlife and scenery.
"The captain was a local resident," Cameron said. "We went out early in the morning. It was awfully foggy that morning, then it started clearing up. The sun came out and it was a great day for scenery."
Eric DaBreo of Chico, Calif., received a second-place award with his photo of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. // National Park Foundation
The trip occurred at the beginning of winter last year, just as the sea ice was freezing up. In fact, he said, the ice had grown so thick around the dock where the group departed that the captain had to choose a different landing site to get the group back to shore.
Cameron said there is nothing like seeing mothers and their babies, and it was a special moment when the polar bear cub walked over and reached up to its mother.
"I still can't quite believe I won," Cameron told me. "There were some amazing photos that were entered. I think one of the reasons this appealed to the judges is the whole topic of global warming and protection of the National Arctic Wildlife Refuge."
Of course, polar bears have become a symbol of the melting ice caps in the polar regions, where the bears are threatened with extinction because of declining habitat.
Cameron moved to Bremerton from Kansas City about 13 years ago to work for Parametrix, an engineering firm with an office on Kitsap Way. He lived in Manette a short time before moving to Bainbridge Island, where he resided for 11 years. For the past two years, he has lived in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood.
Jordan Moore of San Marcos, Texas, captured third place with his photo of a bison at the edge of Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. // National Park Foundation
Cameron said the $10,000 prize will help fund his ongoing adventures. He visited Kenya about two years ago and plans to travel to Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido next January.
It has been a good year for Cameron, who also won "Outdoor Photographer" magazine's "American Landscape Contest" with a photo of El Capitan, a vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park.
The polar bear photo will be featured on next year's America the Beautiful pass, an annual pass that gets visitors into more than 2,000 public recreation sites on federal land. About 300,000 people purchase the pass each year.
The annual "Share the Experience" contest is sponsored by the National Park Foundation, Active Network, and Celestron in partnership with the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service.
Photographs are now being accepted for next year's contest, which requires pictures to be taken during 2015 and submitted by the end of the year. Winners will be announced by May 1, 2016. Weekly winners are recognized.
Other winners announced last week in the "Share the Experience" contest include Eric DaBreo of Chico, Calif., second place for his photo of the Golden Gate Bridge taken at sunset from Marshall Beach, and Jordan Moore of San Marcos, Texas, for his photo of a bison at the edge of Yellowstone Lake.
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell said she hopes the contest helps inspire people to enjoy the country's "unrivaled public lands and waters" and share the feeling with others.
"Taking pictures is one of the many ways to enjoy the splendor of our nation's stunning landscapes and share those treasured moments with friends and family, as well as inspire others who may have never visited to get out and explore their public lands," she said in a news release.
