I was updating my recipe index when I noticed I have a few recipes devoted to music or books I love. It's a bit limited, to be sure. This Four Thieves Gone cake, these Avett inspired cookies. These bars and scones dedicated to Rainbow Rowell YA novels. A single post prompted by Kitchens of the Great Midwest, some clumsily photographed Ninja Turtle Donuts. But what about other music I love? What about all the other books that are near to my heart?
I realized that I needed to expand my fan kitch-tion. Get it? Fan Fiction + Fan Kitchen = Fan Kitch-tion.
I'm getting excited just thinking about it. All the new and old books I adore. My favorite new book (new book as defined by a book that I did not read during my childhood) is 14 by Peter Clines. My favorite old book (childhood book) is, duh, A Wrinkle in Time. I'm currently immersed in Sleeping Giants. I'm thinking up ways to bring them from page to plate.
But I'm not a kid who's too cool for TV. I wanted to show my love for Ron Swanson and (J/T/L)Gerry and Andy and the rest of the folks at Parks and Rec. I guess I'm depression recovery, but I still feel pretty awful some days. And on those days, I like to watch season 3, episodes 9-13, on repeat. Yeah, it's a lot of TV, but I just have it on int the background while doing other things. Have you ever tried just watching TV and not doing anything else at the same time?! It's pretty boring, damn near impossible.
Anyways, I adore Parks and Rec. And the people on Parks and Rec adore Little Sebastian. So what better way to pay tribute than to make Little Sebastian cookies? I made them pecan maple waffle flavored, since Leslie Knope loves her some waffles.
Last winter, I found a bag of mini cookie cutters at a flea market. I hadn't gotten the chance to use the horse one until now. Little horse needs a little cookie cutter. It was perfect!
They were so easy to make too. I want to call them one bowl, since the cookie part only requires one bowl. But the chocolate dip part makes it two, so….. And only 8 ingredients, total.
And they are super amazingly delicious. Chocolaty, nutty, addicting. This recipe makes a huge batch of animal crackers/mini cookies, so there are plenty to share. You know Leslie Knope would.
Grind the pecans up into a coarse flour, similar to almond meal. Do not allow it to become butter.
Combine pecan flour, gluten free flour, salt,maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and almond milk. Stir until an even consistency is reached.
Cover dough and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Roll out dough between 2 pieces of parchment. Roll to about 1/6th - 1/8th of an inch.
Using a small cookie cutter, (about 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches) cut out shapes.
Continue to re-roll and cut until dough is gone. If you need to, return the dough to the fridge to chill a little between rollings.
Allow cut cookies to chill 10 minutes in the fridge, or 5 in the freezer.
Bake cookies on parchment-lined sheets for 5 minutes.
Melt or temper the chocolate. Using a fork, dip the bottom of each cookie in the chocolate, tapping to shake off excess. Allow to harden, chocolate-side up.

Q: Help paraphrase this sentence in plain English: "He could scarcely have astonished and disturbed men more if he had actually set it moving."
Copernicus ventured to assert that the earth moved. He could scarcely have astonished and disturbed men more if he had actually set it moving.

The word could makes the part in bold sound to me as if it was written in the subjunctive mood, but I don't understand what that second sentence says.
Can you please help me paraphrase the sentence to make its meaning clearer?

A:
He could scarcely have astonished and disturbed men more if he had actually set it moving.

People were bothered by the movement of the planets. They were really bothered. In fact, if you had told people that Copernicus was the one moving the earth, they really wouldn't be much more bothered.

Exclusive Premiere: Halle Kearns "Shoes To Fill" Music Video
The world puts people in your life for a reason. Sometimes you have to find those people that end up meaning the most to you, but a lot of people are lucky enough to have supportive and loving people in their lives from the moment they take their first breath. Rising country star Halle Kearns sings her new single "Shoes To Fill" about the love she receives from her father and how having such a strong parental figure gives her high hopes for finding someone that can "fill the shoes" of her Dad.
Halle told us: "Shoes To Fill is a song about my relationship with my dad and the way he has shown me my worth in regards to the way I expect to be loved and valued. In the song, I'm speaking directly to my future someone and letting them know that the bar has been set high. It's an incredibly special song to me, and my favorite I've written so far because it's so authentic and true to my story. My dad is my best friend, and I'm beyond excited to have my listeners hear about what a stand-up guy he is through these lyrics. I hope each person is able to take this song and make it their own. Whether that's in relation to their own father, mother, or anyone who has done an outstanding job of making sure they know they're loved whole-heartedly."
While the song itself really tells the story of Halle's love for her father and his for her, the video that we are premiering for you today takes that sentiment to another level. Halle told us: "When the conversation about a 'Shoes to Fill' video began, I immediately knew I wanted something super stripped down and intimate. I wanted the set to be dreamy and ethereal, but allow the lyrics to speak for themselves. Dawson Waters was the director and brains behind the project and I think he brought that vision to life beautifully."
We have been big fans of Halle for a while now, having showcased her on one of our 5 Artists You Should Know. Her modern take on Country music stays rooted in tradition while also exploring what is happening in the industry right now. The songs she has released so far are pretty powerful. Music heals, music brings hope, and music can bring you to a time and place that nothing else on this crazy planet can, and sometimes a song means as much to people that hear it as it does to those who wrote it. The best songs by the best artists do, and we hope this song and this video for "Shoes to Fill" makes you connect to Halle and her music the way we do.
So here is the video for "Shoes To Fill" and after you give it a watch and a listen make sure you tell the people that have been there for you and have shown you your worth just how much they mean to you.


I am an illustrator attending my last year of college at the American Academy of Art. I am originally from a small town in Rochelle, IL, about a couple hours west from Chicago. My art mostly represents me and/or my friends and family. I imagine creative ways to represent either myself, friends, and/or family. I usually use more than one medium in an art piece.

Welcome to the stunning possibilities of Printing on Glass. A wonderful world of choice is now available in printed glass products.
Imagine entire walls of glass imagery for receptions and commercial environments or bespoke splash backs to add that personal touch to designer Kitchens. Printing on Glass can create the special mood you deserve for your home or work space.
An example of Printing on Glass can be seen in this stunning reception display at Cheadle Glass's Stockport showroom. Three giant printed glass panels are offset from the black glass back wall by the use of locators to give a three dimensional feel to the display. The effect is stunning as the reflective surfaces and quality of the glass complement the vibrant colours of the image – you could imagine dipping your toes in the cool flowing water!
Another example of creativity in glass is the amazing printed glass cricket bat which was much admired at the recent Gary Keedy benefit year event – "An audience with Freddie". The glass cricket bat was created by Cheadle Glass and measured an incredible 1200mm long. Produced in 19mm thick optically clear low iron glass with polished pencilled edging. Printing to such an elaborate shape is a complex business but Kingfisher Graphics were up to the challenge and printed both text and photographic imagery to the rear face of the glass cricket bat. Andrew Flintoff's signature completed this wonderful item which was duly auctioned on the evening.


An indigenous plant, cranberries were found in the wild, mainly in wetlands, from eastern North America to the state of Wisconsin long before industrial production began. During colonization, the Native Americans and indigenous peoples were already using the fruit as a remedy to help French colonists recovery from scurvy. Cranberries also served to dye clothing and help preserve food as it was crushed into pemmican (a type of grease) and wrapped around dried meat.
In 1939, Mr. Edgar Larocque introduced cranberries in Lemieux, located in the Centre-du-Québec region after many visits to see family in Massachusetts. As a fruit and vegetable wholesaler, he was interested in cranberry production in that region and decided to import vines to Quebec. That proved to the birth of cranberry production in Quebec. The cranberry farm, Les Atocas du Québec is now operated by the 3rd generation of the Larocque family, Louis-Michel, Edgar's grandson, thus preserving its development. Before Louis-Michel took charge, his father, Charles Larocque managed the farm beginning in 1950 and in 1954 integrated as a member of the Ocean Spray Cooperative.
In 1984, Mr. Marc Bieler began developing what would become the largest cranberry farm on one site in the entire world, located in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford. First an apple grower near Dunham, Quebec, Mr. Bieler started getting requests for cranberries from his clients. So, he decided to start growing them. Today, Canneberges Bieler extends across 1,400 acres in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford. Several years later, in Manseau, Mr. Bieler founded the transformation plant Atoka, which has recently been acquired by the Ocean Spray Cooperative.
Industry leader in Quebec organic cranberry production, Martin Le Moine started his first farms at the end of the 1980s in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, in the Centre-du-Québec region. Early in the 2000s, he founded the transformation company, Fruit d'Or which has gone one to become one of the largest organic agri-food companies in Quebec. In 2018, Quebec is home to one-third of the world's production of organic cranberries.
Though at the beginning of the 1990s there were about a dozen cranberry growers, by 2012 the number of cranberry farms as well as the acreage in production had more than tripled. Because production developed and increased at such a rapid pace, Quebec has held 2nd and 3rd place interchanging with the state of Massachusetts for these positions. Wisconsin remains the #1 growing region in the world. In Quebec, cranberry production is undertaken in 6 regions, however we find 60 of the 80 cranberry farms in the Centre-du-Québec region alone. Cranberries are, without a doubt, the region's flagship product and as the production developed, so did treatment facilities to transform and freeze cranberries that also contribute as an economic engine for the region.
Sometime around 1816, Capitan Henry Hall of Massachusetts began to transplant cranberry vines in the sand and noticed that they developed well. Over the years, cranberries became the main growing crop in that state and now is the official state berry.
Around 1860, Edward Sackett originally from New York state, discovered 700 acres of cranberry vines growing in a wild state in the marshes of Wisconsin. He then decided to develop this crop, which has become over the years, the #1 fruit crop in Wisconsin, making it the number one growing region in the world. The cranberry is the official state fruit of Wisconsin.

Jerusalem Demonstration In Support Of Ami Meshulam and his family
17 of the Sixth Month 5768
Tonight I stumbled upon a demonstration in support of Immanuel Yedidya (Ami) Meshulam, now in Canada for medical treatment for undetermined illnesses, allegedly from a lethal drugs injected into him by agents of the persecutory Israeli government. I know, I know. But read on, just a bit more.
Ami Meshulam is the son of Rabbi Uzi Azulai Meshulam who is best known for raising awareness, and pursuing justice for the Yemenite children, kidnapped during the early years of the State of Israel.
This case has both disturbed and fascinated me for years. It disturbs me not only that Yemenite children were kidnapped from the families, but also because there has no real response from the government, save for the persecution of those in pursuit of the truth.
The Rosh Yeshivah of the yeshiva high school where I last taught is one of the non-kidnapped victims. He has a brother out there, possible still alive, who was taken from his parents over 50 years ago.
I have been fascinated by the thoughts of seeing families reunited someday.
Rabbi Uzi Meshulam claims to have compiled a list of 4,500 names of missing children.
You can read the background story in English. It is like something out of a film about CIA cover-ups. Only this one features the Mossad and Shabba"k (Israeli secret police). It also features a Waco style stand-off, known as the Yehud Incident.
But, that's not even the half of it.
I have heard various names thrown around of big rabbis and [sitting] government officials who he claims were involved in the kidnappings and subsequent cover-up, as well as big name rabbis who turned him over. In the words of the man with whom I spoke at the demonstration, "...the Erev Rav."
I have yet to find any of those names on his supporters' website. Yet there is a lot of material out there, including videos, to be examined.
This is not the only case of non-Ashkinazy children allegedly being abused by the Israel government. The documentary "The Ringworm Children" exposes the radioactivity experiments which were carried out on children of mostly North African descent.
Some of you will scoff at the incidents presented here, and called them convoluted conspiracy theories.
One of the fliers that was being handed out included a quote from Mori Hayim Sinwani ztz"l, Rav Uzi's grandfather and rav who originally instructed him to look into the issue of the kidnapped children:
"The state that sells its children in the end will be sold to its enemies."
Sounds like prophecy to me. Examine the evidence. Something is rotten in Israel.

I had a weird dream. I was in a hospital bed and for some reason I kept saying just kill me. So the nurses inject me with something and it kills me, the weird part is that I had an outer death experience. When I was dying the nurses told me what i was going to feel when I died. Everything blacked out and I was just getting ready to go to hell. But that didn't happen, everything turned black and I was feeling like I was floating in plain darkness. From there I was imagining a beautiful place I was almost going there but I got to scared and woke up. It felt so real I thought I was really dying.
I dreamt I went down in my building's cave. When I entered through the main door, to my right was a long, long coridoor. I then faced it. For some reason there was no light, maybe electricity issues. In front of me was the dark, the unknown. A deep, dark tunnel without end it seemed. I sensed a great evil facing me, the evil haunting the basement I thought. I wasn't afraid and I thought of challenging it. I shouted "Groaaar" like a lion and said to myself "let's see what you've got". Without delay, I got an answer - ROOOOOAAAR... A shockwave shook the ground, threw me backwards and glued to the back wall. I couldn't do anything, I was helpless. It felt so real...This evil, or demon pushing me with such force. "I was going to die" - I thought. "If this thing gives me just a little chance for me to escape, I won't delay a bit... Then.. after seconds lasting like lifetimes, it released me. I dropped to the ground. While this dark monster was preparing for a second attack, I ran as fast I could! I got out! When I got out, I found myself in an industrial world full of dangerous, big machines with employees working around them. I was so enthusiastic of sharing my story, but no one seemed to pay me attention. I was desperate of finding someone to talk to, but I got injured and almost got killed from these hazardous machines. And then I woke up.
i was on one of the game servers, then i got kicked to my own. everything was blocky, and i heard girls talking. i walked into the room, and they all left. Then one of my friends left the room, and i asked them why they weren't talking. They said i had forgotten about them, so i said lets go buy something. I got 10$ out, and we went to this really cool looking store. (we were in the mall i think) and we decided to get the "moonlight pack" but that's not important. As we were walking out, i saw my crush. He was walking into the store, and he said hi to my friend who's right next to me.i said what are you doing here? it bummed me out he didn't talk to me. and then we went to check out.(then i woke up and fell back asleep.) when i woke up, it was like we were in the same place, but everything was swishing all down a tunnel, and everything was gold and red. I saw luigi, (someone i know..) and he asked me if i had feelings for someone. i said no and tried to run. i we casually walked out while and anime song was playing. my crush tried walking in. Then the lights went out throughout that mall, and i saw my crush with his parents... as soon as the mall turned on neon lights.
I've had part of this dream before...but towards the end a new scene happened. I was at the beach for a while and the waves were calm. Then minute by minute they started getting rougher and larger, but I still wanted to swim in the ocean. Sometimes I was under the water where I couldn't breathe but I really wanted to find out why the waves were so rough. Then I managed to swim through and I found the source. For some reason there were toilets that were responsible for the large waves. (Weird I know). I was really grossed out that we were swimming in toilet water however there were like 10 stalls all connected to doors. Well I went through the door and it led to a hallway similar to the chem hallway at my school. A few kids I recognized were there too. My last years crush lol came from behind me. I turned around while he was walking towards me and he out his arms out towards me. We hugged. We literally hugged for at least 5+ minutes. I was in his arms completely and my head was on his chest. I've recently started to like a new guy but I still think he is very cute. But, this dream has really made me to start think about him a lot. I totally enjoyed the dream and now I wish I was in his embrace.
oh! sorry my English is bad!! last night a had dream . a sort of love story dream. - One day where at the school(high school, a catholic school) but am college already and we are not in my current school, its so strange .dunno why my college friends and clasm8 are there too. so strange, there some kind of event or program happening in the school. there some visitors too. and then i met a girl for me she is perfect. a forgot the name(DAMN!) and she is taking her study in a particular seminary school . cuz she want to be a nun , she is 19 yrs old . am 19 too. .At first i didnt believe her that she wants to be a nun. so laugh(not so hard though) that i explain to her that she can serve GOD in other ways! . then i can see her into her eyes that there is a doubt . she is not sure about her vocation. then i forgot something in that part of my dream . then afterwards i go close to her.(so close) am trying to kiss her. and uhmm. i kiss her. she let me do that too. then i was like , oh sorry! i shouldnt do that!DAMN! then i run! then she follow me . then i woke up! hmmm i wonder! whos that girl am going to find her.
A group of people (around 3) entered my house. Immediately, I knew that they were bad people. They all set their guns on the table, and when the woman in the group said something to me, I quickly picked up a gun and held it up to her chest. She continued to say things like, "go on and shoot me" Over and over again to the point where I was crying. I eventually shot her, but the bullet went through and hit my dad who was standing behind. Running over to help him, one of the men in the group came into the room and I quickly aimed the gun at his head. That is where the dream ended. What does this mean?? It's been bothering me for weeks.
I had a dream last night that I was in a haunted house and then a little girl was harming my friend then I went to a different dream a more peaceful dream with a little girl and she was speaking to me but i don't know what she was saying to me and then there was this bright light which woke me up. But a couple of days before I found out who my angle was and the. On the 18th January 2015 I had a email from the angle website I went on saying we both know what happened in you dream, your angle was trying to contact you and then there was a bright light. I'm really scared what do I do?
I was alone in my room watching naruto, and den i went to sleep. It was afternoon. i dreamed that i m using my laptop and some of my friends came (i dont know who they were) and told me they are going for a tour so i joined them. and after a distance i remembered i forgot to lock my room. i was worried about my laptop that it might get stolen ,so i told my friends. we were on our way, we stopped in some kinda vehicle repairing shop near a train station. in that shop maybe the shop owner told that he will take care of that and send someone to go to my room and lock it. and he invited all of us to his house. it was a nice gesture, he gave us something to eat and drink. we all were taking nap in his house when i smelled something fishy. i didn't wanted to stay in his house any more so wanted to get out of that house as soon as possible. i opened the door and saw one of my friend trying to do the same but couldn't. the house was surrounded with huge walls and electric fences. there wasn't any way to get out of that house. at that time all the other friends also noticed that we are trapped in his house. the one who was trying to go out of the house injured very badly. i was sacred i went to a wash-room which attached to the house but outside. i tried to scare him with something that i dont remember and continously shouting him to stay away from me, then my dream went to a place where there was a big fence. in one side there were poor people along with that man and on the other side there were rich people. then i saw a black guy, and that man was screaming at him telling to leave his mother. i was sure he was his mother's boyfriend. then again i went to a place, a luxurious resort surrounded by a lake. people were allowed to go to the front side of the lake but in backside there were fences again. and that man's house is right behind that fence.suddenly i remembered this all what i m seeing is not happening to me for the first. i saw the same exact house, the places some months ago in my dream. but that time i was trapped alone in the house. i got scared at that time also. i prepared myself to wake up from that dream, the i saw myself in my bed sleeping. it was dark and i watched the time, it was around 2 am. i was scared cause no one was with me as i am staying alone from couple of days.then i actually woke up, it was a horrible nightmare in a day dream. i saw the time it i was just 5:30 pm. i dont normally see nightmares in dreams, the one i saw couple of months before is the same i saw just an hours ago. does it mean something, please give me suitable answers i m looking for.
Last night i dreamed about me, being a massive murderer who killed anyone like a madman IMD. The first person i killed was my aunt in my grandfather's house. ( But in real life, i have a good relationship with her.). After I finished her and brought my half-knee length black combat book on my hand, someone chased me. So I ran away and climbed a small building.(I didn't put my boots on, but I wore a pair of socks with my school's emblem on both side). At the roof, I looked down and found that the person who chased after me has gone. So i put my boots on.(Well after that I kinda take a look on my attire and found that I was wearing white shorts with white sleeveless T shirt and a pair of black combat boots. The weird thing is: after I killed my aunt, I didn't find any blood stain on my shirt nor my hand. I also didn't find any weapon I used before. But I killed her bare handedly) When I stepped up to another roof, I sense a presence behind me and I kicked the man behind me. I turned around and found that the man was the same person who chased after me before. Feeling a grudge toward him, I kicked him hard and he fell to the ground. And he died. Seeing that man died, I grinned. A psychotic grin. I didn't wipe out the town alone. I was doing it with 3 or 4 friends. So we looked like a bunch of psychopath or something. But in that dream, even though I have killed many people, I felt no emotion like sadness, guilt, or angry. Well sometimes i felt a little spark of joy like these all of murder things were a part of a game. And after almost all the town's sane citizen have been killed by us (the psycho amigos), we went to an abandoned building and met several people who were a murderer group, just like us. So we asked to join in. Soon after that, we created a murderer organization and many other groups joined in. Later, I felt a curiosity over a man and started to stalk him (cause I thought that the man was suspicious and a danger to the organization). And I also asked a closed friend to stalk him with me. After several times, he walked to a dead end alley and turned around to face us. I walked to him and questioned him about his role or nasty job that can bring danger to the organization. But he just smirked and told nothing. My friend, who stay closed near me, pointed a shotgun to him. I shouted to him to answer me. But he still smirked and that made me wanna punched his smug face. Then my friend shot near his head, just to warned him. After that he pulled out his gun from his pocket and he also pointed his gun to my friend. Then they shot at the same time, but he was faster than my friend and my friend has been killed by him. I caught my friend and put his head on my lap. And I cried. I hugged his bloodstained upper body and cried more. Then I felt angry. I turned my head and glared to the man who killed my friend. Well, he just standing there and smirked. After that, 5 or 6 people from the organization came. They discussed and stand behind me. After my emotion back to normal, I carried my friend and walked slowly to the crowds. I was questioned by some people about my job in what division in the organization. (I forgot what my job's name. But I worked in the investigation division). Then the man who killed my friend passed by and I glared him. He just walked away and after that I woke up from this bizzare dream.


Lincoln, NE — The presidency of John F. Kennedy is remembered for more than it's tragic end 50 years ago.
Lincoln, NE — On Nov. 22, 1963, a shocked nation mourned the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Fifty years later it's an event that still resonates with many Nebraskans.


With the "SOS Zebra Mobility School", a 10-years initiative, the Province of Bolzano aimed to make schools participating in designing the home-school path more secure and promoting the theme of sustainable mobility in schools. As we know pedestrians as weaker street-users, and especially children, must be protected. The initiative the "S.O.S. Zebra" campaign wanted not only to raise awareness on pedestrian safety level but also to redefine urban mobility through some structural measures such as the separation of walkways from the roadside, and the reduced speed in urban centers. The campaign includes school activities, initiatives on sustainable mobility coupled with practical activities.
Pedestrian strips, also known as "zebras", play an important role in road safety. Often, however, many motorists do not stop their vehicle in the presence of people who are crossing the road on the pedestrian strips; pedestrians are often crossing the road far from the pedestrian strips and children's reactions are dictated by impulsiveness. Since the twelve per cent of accidents on South Tyrol roads occur on pedestrian strips, it is important to raise the awareness of street-users on this important topic.

Hi! Thank you for your appreciation and yes, you could start with WordPress or something similar!
I in addition to my pals have already been checking the best helpful tips located on the blog and then unexpectedly I had a horrible suspicion I never thanked you for those tips. Those young men were as a result excited to read them and already have certainly been enjoying them. Many thanks for turning out to be indeed accommodating and for having certain remarkable things millions of individuals are really desperate to understand about. Our sincere regret for not saying thanks to you earlier.
Thank you so much for your appreciation! Have a wonderful and great day!


I love to explore new ways to create and express my ideas, faith, stories, and visions trapped in my head. I find that each material offers a new and refreshing outlet in my creative process. The different media also allows me to explore different perspectives to approach the major themes that can be found in my art. I enjoy looking to the past and exploring iconic imagery, allegorical figures, and themes in various art making processes. Family, personal experiences and exploring, new and old places alike, play a huge role in the direction and stories that can be found in my creations.


What has happened to Chennai Super Kings? This is the question which must be on every IPL fan's lips, whether he or she is a supporter of that team or not. It is only because of their first phase performance CSK can hold to their place in the playoffs business otherwise they would have had to struggle like their opponents of the day SRH to qualify for it. SRH on the other hand still has a wafer thin batting line up but then all top batsman have started to fire to gather and this has given them few wins in last few matches. This time it was David Warner who punished CSK bowlers on a pitch which was neither swinging, seaming nor spinning. He was ably supported by Shikhar Dhawan who seems to have found his touch after getting relived from the captaincy duties.

Also Known As: Robert Amante, Charlie Band, James Amante, Charles Robert Band, Robert Talbot Died:
Born: December 27, 1951 Cause of Death:
Birth Place: Los Angeles, California, USA Profession: producer, executive, director, screenwriter, actor, owner of gift item business, street tie salesman
A pioneer in the field of home video, Band has built a reputation as a prolific and fairly reliable producer and frequent director of entertaining low-budget genre films. Beginning in 1973 with the erotic comedy "Last Foxtrot in Burbank" (featuring Sally Marr, mother of celebrated comic Lenny Bruce), Band has produced a string of features variously delving into the realms of horror, sci-fi and fantasy. Many of these were met with mainstream critical disdain and spotty regional releases. Detecting a potential gold mine in the explosion of the direct-to-video market and the omnipresent programming demands of cable in the late 1980s, Band formed Full Moon Entertainment, a marketing and production entity designed to release modestly budgeted "brand-name" fantasy movies directly to video stores without theatrical release. (Paramount Pictures handled the video distribution.) Band has refused to release films under the Full Moon banner which he did not oversee, wanting video retailers to trust his label. He even embarked on an unusual 20-city tour--complete with a promo reel, model creatures and creepy lighting effects--to introduce himself and his product to potential buyers.

Many of these were met with mainstream critical disdain and spotty regional releases. Detecting a potential gold mine in the explosion of the direct-to-video market and the omnipresent programming demands of cable in the late 1980s, Band formed Full Moon Entertainment, a marketing and production entity designed to release modestly budgeted "brand-name" fantasy movies directly to video stores without theatrical release. (Paramount Pictures handled the video distribution.)
Band has refused to release films under the Full Moon banner which he did not oversee, wanting video retailers to trust his label. He even embarked on an unusual 20-city tour--complete with a promo reel, model creatures and creepy lighting effects--to introduce himself and his product to potential buyers. Band has been the central creative force at Full Moon, not only producing the films but also dreaming up the premises and designing and coordinating the marketing campaigns. Distinctive video box art has become a Full Moon trademark. In a sense, all the titles wear his seal of approval. Band has created a faithful audience for his thrifty genre fare which emphasizes story over production values and big-name actors.
Among Band's more noteworthy early efforts were "End of the World" (1977), starring Christopher Lee in a dual role as a priest and his sinister double; "Crash!" (1977), which somehow combined the occult with a car chase and featured Sue Lyon, Jose Ferrer and John Carradine; and "Tourist Trap" (1979)--one of horror master Stephen King's favorites--with Chuck Connors as a proprietor of a wax museum with eerily life-like dummies. Band attempted to cash in on the briefly resurgent 3-D craze with "Parasite" (1982), which marked the screen debut of Demi Moore, before starting Empire International, his own production company that doubled as a small-scale theatrical distribution company, in 1983.
Band purchased the former de Laurentiis Studio in Rome and began churning out low-budget features. (He had spent part of his childhood in Rome where his father, producer-director Albert Band, had worked in the Italian film industry.) Empire hit its stride with "Trancers" (1985), which he also directed. This low-rent, would-be "Blade Runner" received some favorable notices and later spawned "Trancers II" (1991), a Full Moon follow-up, that fared almost as well. Two more sequels followed in 1992 and 1993.
"Re-Animator" (1985) may be the most celebrated film with which Band was associated. A wild-and-wooly, over-the-top gorefest freely adapted from a short story by H.P. Lovecraft, the film was a surprise critical and commercial smash, winning festival prizes and instant cult status simultaneously. Empire Pictures distributed the film, but Band and producer Brian Yuzna disputed the extent of the creative collaboration. Yuzna labeled the film an Empire acquisition while Band claimed it was produced in-house because helmer Stuart Gordon's first cut was unusable. In any event, Band subsequently produced Gordon's "From Beyond" (1986), another ambitious, if uneven, sci-fi horror outing, freely adapted from Lovecraft, that recounted the twisted tale of a scientist's search for a sixth sense. The talented writer-director also helmed "Dolls" (1987), a passable horror-comedy featuring rapacious dolls. Other Empire productions included the suspenseful if overlong two-character melodrama "The Caller" (1987), with Malcolm McDowell, and Renny Harlin's atmospheric "Prison" (1988), about the vengeful spirit of an executed prisoner coming back to haunt his one-time guard.
Changing economic conditions in Italy necessitated Band's closing of the Rome studio. He sold Empire to Epic in 1988. The Full Moon era officially began with "Puppet Master" (1989), in which puppets that were brought to life terrorized a gathering of psychics and scared up several sequels. Not everyone was impressed, however, as the genre mavens at CINEFANTASTIQUE sniffed: "This was the first, and set the tone for most, of Full Moon's subsequent releases: an intriguing idea, badly underdeveloped, a competent production, but rarely impressive or memorable and a potential thriller, bogged down by a languid pace that's apparently planned around fulfilling a promised running time, rather than audience expectations." Nonetheless, these films, mostly lensed in Romania, were very profitable for the fledgling company.
One of the most highly regarded Full Moon productions was a Gordon-directed adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum" (1991). Originally intended as a $10 million theatrical release to star Peter O'Toole and Billy Dee Williams, the film faced scheduling conflicts and budgetary setbacks which downsized the production to $6 million, still more expensive than average for Band. O'Toole was replaced by grizzled genre veteran Lance Henriksen, who delivered a commanding and surprisingly nuanced performance as the inquisitor Torquemada. While not the classic horror film some would have expected, it has been favorably compared with Roger Corman's 1961 version with Vincent Price and Barbara Steele. In a single year (1993), Band produced 12 films, two of which he also directed. In the vastness and thrift of his oeuvre (some 70 features in twenty-one years), Band has been called the Corman of his generation and while he is quick to disassociate himself from thecurrent trashy Corman product, Band welcomes comparisons with the halcyon days of the influential exploitation producer-director in the 50s, 60s and early 70s.
Band expanded Full Moon in 1994 to include two new subsidiary labels, Moonbeam, for family-oriented fantasies, and Torchlight, for adult fantasies. The success of "Prehysteria" (1993), a kiddie-oriented "Jurassic Park" knock-off starring Austin O'Brien (of "The Last Action Hero"), alerted Band to the commercial possibilities of modestly budgeted direct-to-video kid flicks. Two sequels quickly followed, as did other wholesome fare, notably the superior "Dragonworld" (1994). A "Free Willy" with a dragon, the film boasts strong performances, imaginative special effects and an atmospheric score that place it among Band's finest efforts. Full Moon Studios further diversified in early 1996 by launching a laserdisc and interactive video company. Five CD-ROM titles were announced and 51 Full Moon movies were offered on laserdisc for sale overseas. Domestically, horror was increasingly de-emphasized in favor of family fare but the company motto was unchanged: "200 movies by the year 2000."
Band is the son of independent producer-director Albert Band, who has been active in filmmaking since apprenticing under director John Huston in the 1950s. His brother Richard, a composer, has scored a number of Band's films.

It's certainly been a while since we wrote one of these blog posts, but recently we attended 2 conventions to showcase Introspect and it went very well for us!
Armageddon happened over labour weekend here in New Zealand and is pretty much the biggest hobby and gaming convention we have over here. We attended it as part of the NZGDA booth and enjoyed 3 days of showcasing over the long weekend. We had a decent amount of visitors playing the game and the response was decently favourable. It was very relaxed, honestly, and was the kind of convention we were used to. We were tucked away in the far corner of the convention centre with a single laptop and monitor on display, our banner that was gifted to us by Media Design Studios up attracting whoever it could. We had every member of the team work a showcasing shift at least once. It was very much a precursor to PAX Aus, a kind of warm up of sorts. But it was nice, we got to talk to people who have never played the game before, local devs who were showcasing with us and gained some confidence in the build that we were going to be showing in Melbourne.
After Armageddon, we had a few days to prepare for our flight over to Australia for PAX. We arrived a few days early in Melbourne to give ourselves enough leeway to prepare our booth. We stayed at an Airbnb over at St. Kilda, about 15 minutes of walking and then 15 minutes tram to the convention centre. The place had all the facilities we needed, but the long trek to the tram station was pretty harsh on us. We had to drag our showcasing equipment in suitcases to and from the place (one of the wheels on a suitcase broke early on), which added to the physical stress of the event. It would have be much nicer to stay closer to a tram station to reduce the amount of walking needed.
Arriving at the convention centre, our booth was in a relatively nice location. It was on the edge of the PAX Rising indie space, next to lots of potential foot traffic. We had enough room to set-up our banner, which hopefully helped to attract people to us along with our pretty awesome booth poster.
We tried to make use of our booth table space as effectively as possible, but unfortunately, we left the power cord of one of our monitors back home in Auckland. Our table consisted of one monitor for our personal desktop and a gaming laptop provided to us by our good friends at Media Design Studios at each corner, plus stickers and business cards in the centre for distribution. Our business cards almost didn't make it on time, arriving only one day before the event. We definitely need to try order those much earlier next time, considering how close we were to losing out on the benefits of months of work. And wow did the business cards perform well! Many visitors and exhibitors were very impressed by them, which probably led to a good, lasting impression.
In total, we gave away roughly 800 business cards over the 3 days. We handed a card to everyone that looked interested in the game, but even still we didn't expect to almost run out of the 1000 cards we had ordered. It was a good amount for our first major public show, but we probably need to have more prepared next time around. We also gave away just about 400 stickers, mainly to people who tried the game, but also to those who liked free stuff. From the 3 day expo, around 350 people got to sit down and play the Introspect closed alpha with many others watching around the booth. We initially planned to only have 1 computer running the game, but thankfully we decided to go with two.
There were hardly any moments where any of the computers were free, and we had a decent amount of queuing going on. It was honestly very surprising that so many people were interested in trying the game, but that's probably because we had only demoed the game at small conventions beforehand. The reception was fantastic! Lots of people were happy to see that a game like Introspect exists, and excited to see how it develops until launch. It was a big confidence booster for us as a team to see genuine interest in what we were making. Not only that, we received a lot of praise for our systems, our design, and many other aspects of the game. Some of it was criticism, which we wanted and expected, but that was only about 5-10% of the comments we received.
We also spoke to members of media, game design students, freelancers, console representatives and other industry folk which was pretty cool. By the end of it all, we collected 46 business cards throughout the event, mostly from people who visited our booth. Even with 3 of us there working, we didn't have much time to take breaks. It was busy, and this is probably the most casual PAX event compared to the American ones.
And that's really that. Both events were very good for us overall, as we felt they helped to validate our work and let more people know about what we are doing. We're definitely going to be attending them next year as well, and maybe a few other expos too!


New Civil Hospital Surat Recruitment for Various Posts 2017. Check below for more details.
New Civil Hospital, Surat was established before five decades in the year of 1964 with the facility of 300 beds for indoor patients with the primary objective of imparting medical education and for extending tertiary level health care for the patients of South Gujarat and surrounding regions. It was the part of the Govt. Medical College, Surat which was established in the same year. Gradually, over fifty years, it has grown to the present size and dimensions with a bed capacity of 1150 beds.
The New Civil Hospital, Surat has stood the test of time and shined through all the adverse conditions and calamities of nature. In the year 1994, when the city of Surat was under the grip of devilish disease of 'Pneumonic Plague', this hospital was the only center to serve the needy and helpless people of the community. During that period the entire medical team of the hospital was functioning, mobile, alert round the clock and it was due to the professional dedication of all the staff of this hospital that within no time city and the people of the city were taken far away from the fear of the disease. Similarly, in the year 2006 when the flood has taken a toll on the whole Surat city and District, New Civil Hospital had become the hub of all health-related activities to serve the affected people and along with the State health department, worked to prevent the epidemic of any sort.
In the present date, Bed capacity of the Hospital is 1150 Beds. It caters to the needs of nearly 2000 patients on the outdoor basis and on an average 120 to 130 patients are admitted as indoor patients. There are spacious, well ventilated and furnished general wards and special A.C. rooms. The outdoor patient department is well equipped with Registration counter with computers, Helpdesk, comfortable seating arrangements, public health education facility, stretcher & wheelchair bay, drinking water & sanitation facilities and specialty and super specialty consultation services. Hospital has its own round the clock Ambulance services with well equipped, ultramodern Ambulance vehicles and 'ICU on Wheels'.

El lago Roine es un lago de tamaño mediano en Finlandia. El lago está situado en la región de Pirkanmaa, principalmente en el municipio de Kangasala y con una parte menor en el municipio de Pälkäne.

El lago es parte de la cuenca del Kokemäenjoki y de una cadena de lagos que consiste en Längelmävesi, Vesijärvi, Roine, Pälkänevesi y Mallasvesi. Esta cadena de lagos drena en Vanajavesi en Valkeakoski y al sureste de otra cadena de lagos, que consiste en los lagos Lummene, Vehkajärvi, Vesijako, Kuohijärvi, Kukkia, Iso- Roine, Hauhonselkä y Ilmoilanselkä que se unen a estos. En Finlandia la antigua cadena de lagos se llama Längelmäveden reitti.

En la cultura finlandesa, los lagos Längelmävesi y Roine son bien conocidos, ya que se mencionan en el famoso poema In sommardag i Kangasala () de Zacarías Topelius y por lo tanto se han convertido en parte de la imaginería nacional del paisaje finlandés.

This blog entry about the events of Tuesday, January 04, 2005 was originally posted on January 09, 2005.
DAY 444: I will dedicate this entry to my brother, Blogreader/Blog Hog markyt who, behind the scenes, has become an indispensable member of the crew behind The Blog. He is the liaison between the writer, the producer, and the guys at the Bootsnall.com, gracious host provider of The Blog. I am dedicating this to him because it's a tribute long overdue — and, to be honest, because I didn't do much in the day, and I need something to up my word count.
Well, that's not completely true, the not doing much in the day I mean, since I worked not only on Blog duties, but on the production of the trailer for the big DAY 503 return party back in New York City (March 5, set the date). The trailer production required some CDs back in the States that markyt had put together for me and FedEx'd to the house in Greenhills, so that I could work on it (picture above) and finish it in time for American Commercial Day, a.k.a. SuperBowl Sunday. Markyt's efforts saved me a lot of grunt work, leaving me more time to produce and write the Blog and drink more beer.
And speaking of markyt, or Marky T, or Mark R. T., whose initials are M.R.T., which can be tweaked to Mr.T (yes, it's a stretch), that night when I was flipping through the cable channels while waiting for the internet to connect, I bumped into the old Mr. T cartoon from the mid 1980s, on Cartoon Network's Boomerang programming. Immediately my face lit up, since I had fond memories of watching the cartoon as a kid (while 1981ers were still learning to walk), a show which was created by Ruby-Spears during the hey-day of Mr. T, The A-Team, Mr. T breakfast cereal, and all Mr. T-related catch phrases — which have been immortalized in the Mr. T talking key-chain (like the one Tony had back in Moshi, Tanzania).
Anyway, there was this one part in the cartoon when one of the members of Mr. T's crime-fighting gymnastics team was drowning in a pool. Someone called for help and Mr. T, who was casually sitting in a hotel room reading a newspaper (that made me laugh), came to the rescue by jumping off his hotel balcony and into the pool to save the drowning victim, all in one quick sweeping motion that took about forty frames of animation, if not less.
This I mention because my Mr. T, our Mr. T, markyt also "saves the day." I remember one time when I was uploading some entries in Dar-es-Salaam, and for some reason the server was truncating all my work. Markyt was there to fix everything in a long cut-and-paste relay over instant messenger.
So, nothing much to report on the events of the day — in fact, I didn't even leave the house once (something I hadn't done in a long time). The Blog continued on and that trailer for DAY 503 was well under way. DAY 503 will not only be a big welcome back party to see friends and meet readers, but it will be my opportunity to, at the very least, buy markyt a beer.
First in a long time! Received a post card from Vietnam, Thanks….I bet that country seems like a long time ago to you Erik! I am glad you are enjoying the time with family and a bit of a day off. Thanks also to Mr. T. for without him we would all be lost with absolutely nothing to read.
All heil markyt.. I drink this next beer to you!
yes beer! oh and i bought anchorman!! i love lamp i love lamp!
MARKYT: How are the deleted scenes?
deleted scenes are the first part…you gotta see the extras like the music video!
hey kuya erik, i've been waiting for the boracay pix. where are they?
Andean YMCA must be on the soundtrack!!!
Horray for Mark! We ALL owe him a drink or three at Erik's return party.
Erik - What's up with that big clamp on the computer? Did I miss an entry where you beat off a rabid pack of hippie backpackers with your ibook?
DUNLAVEY: Yeah, the clamp squeezes my logic board into place so the screen works… It's been like that since Jaipur, India… (First picture of the clamp showed up in Chennai).
And I'd like to add that dispite the fact that I was "still learning to walk" I totally remember the A-TEAM and I vaguely remember the cartoon.
I have the A-Team theme song as a ringtone on my cell phone. dahnh danhh dahnhh dahn dahn dahn dahh . . .
The A-Team is truly and international phenomenon. We were in Ireland in Oct. seeing friends and our adopted family, the Cutliffes. We met Rosey, Clair & Caroline Cutliffe's roommate. Another boisterous Irish gal, and a laugh riot to party with—all of them. Anyway, they're all musicians—classically trained musicians—which left me hopelessly un-musically quiet whenever they burst into song (which was ALL the time). So we went to a pub after dinner one night, and they all start singing Irish pub songs (go figure). Then seeing that we Americans couldn't contribute, Rosey starts the all-talking theme-song lead-in to The A-Team! I didn't even remember this whole long speech, which ended in "you call the A-Team." I was absolutely agast that she knew all the words! Then the ENTIRE pub started in with the music… dahnh danhh dahnhh dahn dahn dahn dahh . . .

Death in Remand: a Tyee Inquiry
Custodial 'remand' is where we send the legally innocent to await trial. So why did John Parker die there? The reader-funded series starts today.
By Richard Warnica 21 May 2012 | TheTyee.ca
Journalist Richard Warnica has been a senior editor for The Tyee and a staff reporter for the Edmonton Journal and Canwest News Service, and writes for Maclean's. He received a reader-funded Tyee Investigative Reporting Fellowship to support him in researching and writing this series.
John Parker was slight of build and mentally fragile. He spent his last day alive in the North Fraser Pretrial Centre, a remand jail in Port Coquitlam.

To Push Prisons, Harper Buried Own Government's Findings
When John Parker was in his 20s he was in a highway crash. It was a serious wreck. He was in the hospital for months. And in some ways, he was never the same again. The damage from the accident had changed Parker's brain. Really, it changed him.
Parker married after the accident. He kept a job for a lot of years. He even played blues in local clubs. But he could never quite keep it together. The wounds from his accident were still there, patterned on his cortex even 30 years after they formed. By the mid 2000s, the B.C. man was in pretty bad shape, often depressed, living in and out of shelters and supportive housing. He had a temper, wasn't sleeping well and was prone to violent outbursts.
Over a few months in 2007, Parker was arrested twice. Once he threatened a bus driver with a knife. Later, he swung his guitar at a guy outside a liquor store. Still you'd have been hard-pressed to call Parker a danger to anyone but himself. He only stood about 5'7. He weighed maybe 130 pounds. But after the second arrest, a judge locked him up. He sent Parker to the North Fraser Pretrial Centre, a remand jail in Port Coquitlam, to await trial.
Victor:
Victor Hurtado wasn't yet alive when Parker had his crash. He's 35 years younger than the older man.
Hurtado grew up in Colombia, raised by a grandmother but living mostly on the street. It was a tough area, where he grew up, and he fought a lot. A judge would later say fighting was "normal" for him and his peers.
When he was 15, Hurtado moved to Canada, though he never became a Canadian citizen. He went to school at first but his English was poor. He says other kids insulted him; they made fun of his race. So he fought and he quit and he moved on to another life. He worked construction for a few years. But as he grew older, that too slipped away.
In a nine-month stretch five years ago, Hurtado beat two strangers in two separate attacks. In the first, he hit a woman so hard her face never healed. After the second attack a judge sent Hurtado to the North Fraser Pretrial Centre to await a deportation hearing.
John and Victor together:
On paper, John Parker and Victor Hurtado could not have been much more different. Hurtado was young, large and violent. Parker: small, aging and depressed. The two did not share a language. In jail, they did not share a prisoner class. (Hurtado was considered an "immigration hold"; Parker an "MDO," or mentally disordered inmate.) And yet they ended up together, if only briefly.
On Jan. 18, 2008, guards moved Parker into Hurtado's cell. After lockdown the next night, the 19th of January, Hurtado picked up two chairs by the armrests and slammed them, front-edge first, into Parker's skull. The blows nearly tore Parker's ear off. They split his brain pretty much in two. He died within hours.
Post-mortem:
Victor Hurtado and John Parker were in the same room for less than two days more than four years ago. The story of how they got there has never really been told until now. This week in The Tyee, we do just that -- and try to find some meaning in what might otherwise be no more than another senseless tragedy behind bars.
Using internal government reviews obtained through freedom of information requests and never before reported on, as well as court transcripts and interviews, The Tyee has created the fullest picture yet of the days before Parker died. Among other revelations, the stories will show:
That hours before he was killed Parker asked guards to be moved;
That guards in the jail disagreed about, and in some cases simply didn't know, the policies on bunking mentally disordered inmates with immigration holds;
That guards had warned for years about conditions in remand centres in B.C., arguing that overcrowding made violence more likely, and death a strong possibility.
Is there a lesson here?
The story of Parker and Hurtado isn't just about one cell or one night in the North Fraser Pretrial Centre. It's also about the remand system itself. John Parker served his entire sentence for threatening the bus driver in remand. He was waiting for trial on a second charge -- swinging a guitar at someone, and missing -- when he was killed.
That's not unusual.
Over the past 30 years, even as crime has gone down in Canada, the number of people on remand -- being held awaiting trial, in other words -- has gone up dramatically.
At the same time, the average stay in remand has grown longer. As a result, in most Canadian provinces there are now more prisoners in jail who haven't been tried, than there are those who have been convicted and sentenced.
That's a serious change. From a system that overwhelming punished convicted offenders, Canada has moved to one that overwhelmingly deals in pre-emptive imprisonment. Later in this series we'll explore how we got here, and what it means: from the fundamental injustice of locking up the technically innocent, to the overcrowding that plagues Canadian remand centres and allowed someone like John Parker to end up in a locked cell with someone like Victor Hurtado.
Today we go inside that cell: Charlie East Five, and into the last hours of John Parker's life. Read Part One by clicking here.

Shahrdari (Municipality) Plaza is Iron Design Award winner in 2016 - 2017 Urban Planning and Urban Design Award Category.
This square that was one crowded region for cars, was analyzed according to the comprehensive urban plan, that was scrutinized by Polsheer architects.after considering the plan and bringing up the comments, there were some pieces of advice to enhance the situation and maintaining the simplicity as well. in this plan it was highly insisting to make a harmonized bed for some buildings like the municipality, the post office and the Government building after this plan,the city was like a body that the square is beating like a heart and the people kept living like the living cells.
Polsheer associates-established in 1981 is considered today one of the leading consulting firms in Iran,Providing a wide range of a consulting services in Fields of Design and Supervision.over the past 2 decades,design and Supervision of a large number of distinguished building projects and developed valuable experience in Special concepts that enabled the firm to Pre-qualify for participation in Several local and international competitions of which Polsheer won the first prize in many a competition.


In this method, material is managed so that it never enters the waste stream. Examples include reusable beverage containers and mulching lawnmowers (National Solid Waste Management Association, 2004). Substituting plastic for metal or glass in the manufacture of products so that they can be reused is a form of waste prevention. This also involves Zero Waste which refers to producing, consuming and recycling products without throwing anything away. The USEPA shows that in 2000 Americans source reduced more than 55 million tons of waste. The region can proactively promote these concepts to residents, commercial, institutional and industrial sectors with an ultimate goal for zero waste to be achieved by 2040.
Pay-as-you-throw Policies: consumers pay for volume of garbage that they generate and nothing or a minimal fee for recycling. The goal is to provide a financial incentive for recycling while reducing waste.
Extended Producer Responsibility: insures that manufacturers are responsible for the safe disposal and recycling of their products post-consumption.
Close the Loop- buy recycled: buying products made from recycled or recyclable materials to insure the continuum of the recycling process by creating sustainable markets for goods.
Tangent Technologies manufactures park benches out of scrap plastic packaging, which are then donated to national parks by Unilever (CNN Money, 2007).
As our region's landfills have only 8 years of capacity in them steps must be taken urgently to insure proper disposal of waste once that period passes. Alternative waste disposal methods may result in alternative energy sources as well as innovation in engineering applications. The region should take a leadership role in exploring these methods and implementing them in the most economically feasible manner for residents and businesses. There exists a plethora of options that can be utilized. An example is scrap tire reuse, recycling (round rubber, rubberized asphalt or energy recovery by burning and producing Tire Derived Fuel). Another example is the use of Clean Construction or Demolition Debris (CCDD) as fill in mines, quarries or other excavation. Co-incineration is yet another one, whereby waste is used in high energy demand sectors to provide power thus saving non-renewable resources by substituting fossil fuels.
Construction and demolition Debris (C & D) constitute approximately 20% of landfill space (Rathje, 1995). This should be the target for future source reduction and recycling programs as well as better legislation to allow municipalities to have such facilities without dependence on specific population figures as is currently the case. This is one example of where future efforts should head for 21st century waste disposal (link to Teardowns).
The region could take a variety of directions in its approach to solid waste disposal. Due to limited landfill space within the region and the difficulty of opening new landfills, shipping larger quantities of waste out of the region is a potential strategy. However, shipping waste long distances consumes fuel unnecessarily, with financial and environmental implications. New landfills or transfer stations could be established within the region, but this is challenging due to high land value, few appropriate sites, and local concern about these projects. In the long term, devising new methods of waste disposal in conjunction with resource reduction, recycling, and more research into new technologies, or innovative approaches like demolition auctions are more sustainable measures for waste disposal. Regardless of the approach, CMAP can collaborate with its partners to investigate, explore and propose waste disposal methods that will insure the continued prosperity of the region and its leadership in green technology and enhanced environment.
