While Ford killed the Cortina when Lutz's Sierra was introduced in 1983, one facet of the storied marque soldiered on in South Africa (and was imported to Europe as both a Cortina and a Taunus): yes, the OG P100. Built from a lengthened Cortina chassis, the rustic-stage P100 was the final standing model of a line that had served Britain proudly for decades and is the only car besides a Cadillac that we can currently think of that ended up in a Clash song. We're totally starting a band just so we can cover "Janie Jones" and sing, "His P100 just won't run without fuel/Fill 'er up, Jacko!"


Striped and ready to rock and roll!
The pants look great with any top -- not just the striped shirt. And you will not be embarrassed if someone shows up unannounced. (I would want to die if someone came over and I was wearing my ever-so-hot-and-flattering floral leggings).
Of course, it looks great together too.
Ready for TV! and bed!
I am also in love with the Josie Princess Cocachin PJ. Fit for any princess (jewish, royal, or wanna be). It is a feminine twist on a menswear inspired print. The sleek lightweight satin has a real silky and luxurious feel to it. For $110, it is a great gift.
The bottoms look great with any top. Even my frumpy grey sweatshirt.
Obviously, I like to add color, texture, and style to every look!
Of course, it looks nice and sophisticated as a set too!
Looks better on the model, though.
Both of these ensembles are perfect for cold, fall nights! Get ready for winter and splurge on some comfy clothes!
It is fun and wintery.
Wow! This is such a fun PJ!!I like the way you mixed the pants with your sweatshirt!
Just ordered!! Can't wait to get them!
HOORAY! You will love them! Promise.
Um…LOVE your floral leggings btw…need some STAT and I laughed when I read your last note about the PJ set because I was literally thinking…Wow she looks better than both models in both sets…hot mama!
HA! So funny, Jules!!!! Aren't the floral leggings fun? That said, NOT FLATTERING. I got them at topshop a long time ago….
I really like the pyjamas and you look great in them–you are an excellent model. I also like the floral leggins. The Josie combos are very nice, and I will certainly go find them in the stores.
OH thanks, Mama. You are the best mother and commenter in the whole wide world!
LOVE those pjs!! but you know you can also add me to the list of fans of the floral leggings. nobody looks cuter in unflattering lounge wear than you do!
hee hee. You look pretty cute too in unflattering lounge wear. Should we form a team?
um yes! our team would have the best, comfiest uniforms!


Usually, when people describe "yellow" hair, they mean blonde. Such is not the case with Ellie Goulding's new hair color, which is bright yellow (with a touch of orange).
Ellie debuted her new 'do at the 2015 EMAs and paired it with a black dress to emphasize just how bright her new shade is.
From certain angles the tone definitely appears more orange, which is why this color is so cool—it transforms before your eyes and, like, no one else has it. We can't wait to see how it ~evolves~ over the next few weeks.
After Rihanna debuted blue hair over the weekend we thought maybe blue would be the trendy hair color for winter, but bright yellow is definitely a contender—where will it pop up next??


1969: Union Carbide sets up pesticide formulation plant in Bhopal. Hazardous waste routinely dumped in factory premises in 21 unlined pits.
1977: Solar Evaporation Ponds built on 32 acres for dumping of hazardous wastes. Ponds flood toxic material annually in monsoon season.
1982: Farmers agitate over death of cattle due to contaminated surface water. Union Carbide settles matter out of court.
April 1990: In the years following the disaster, persistent complaints of foul-smelling and -tasting tube and well water in the communities around the factory prompted survivors' organisations to initiate investigations into the possible contamination of the area. The Bhopal Group for Information and Action (BGIA) sent sediment from the Solar Evaporation Ponds, soil samples taken from near the ponds and community well water from Jai Prakash Nagar to the Citizen's Environmental Laboratory, Boston. Dichlorobenzenes, Phthalates, Trichlorobenzenes and 1-Napthalenol were found in the pond samples. Additionally, Dichlorobenzenes and Trichlorobenzenes were found in the soil and water samples and Phthalates were found also in the soil.
1990: Bhopal Group for Information and Action sends samples of ground water and soil to Citizen's Environmental Laboratory in Boston, USA. This laboratory identified highly toxic materials (dichlorobenzenes and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons) in the soil and water surrounding the plant. Findings are presented before Union Carbide Corporation and clean up demanded.
April 1990: Marco Kaloften of the Citizen's Environmental Laboratory, Boston raises the issue of contamination of Bhopal's soil and community wells in the annual shareholders meeting of UCC (USA). He asked for a schedule for the clean up of toxic materials by Union Carbide. Mr. Robert Kennedy, CEO of UCC at the time, requested Mr. Kaloften to pass on the information to Mr. C.C. Smith, Vice President of Health, Safety and Environment.
1991: The Madhya Pradesh Public Health Engineering Department's State Research Laboratory carry out tests on local groundwater taken from 11 tube wells near the factory. The study reports heavy chemical contamination of the drinking water in the area.
1994: Union Carbide's advisor Arthur D. Little, USA retained National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) on behalf of Union Carbide India Limited to study contamination inside the factory premises. NEERI reported that over one-fifth of the factory site was contaminated with hazardous waste.
1996: State Research Laboratory of the Public Health Engineering Department once again reported severe chemical contamination in samples taken from 11 tube wells in the area. The municipal corporation declared water from 100 tube wells unfit for drinking though no alternative drinking water source was suggested or provided.
1999: Greenpeace International conducts a study that finds solid wastes, soils, groundwater samples collected within plant area to be high in mercury, organochlorine compounds and 12 volatile organochlorine compounds (VOCs). Mercury concentrations were found to be 20,000 to six million times higher than expected.
November 1999: Greenpeace tests soil, groundwater and wells in and around the derelict Union Carbide factory and finds 12 volatile organic chemicals and mercury in quantities up to six million times higher than expected. The toxic inventory includes sevin, temik, lindane carbon tetrachloride, dichlorobenzenes and others: www.bhopal.net/oldsite/contamination.html. Read the full report.
2002: Soil samples, groundwater and vegetables from residential areas surrounding UCIL were found contaminated by: mercury, chromium, nickel, lead, organochlorines, hexachloroethane, hexachlorobuta-diene, pesticide HCH and other chemicals by the Fact Finding Mission on Bhopal, New Delhi. These same contaminants were also found in breast milk.
September 30, 2002: A new study from The People's Science Institute, Dehra Dun confirms the presence of mercury in Bhopal drinking water, in some places as high as two micrograms per liter, and warns of grave risk to health. People have been drinking the water for 18 years after the gas leak.
October 25, 2002: Technical guidelines for the clean-up of Carbide's abandoned factory site, drawn up by Greenpeace scientists, are presented to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh and simultaneously handed over at Dow offices in India, Europe and the U.S. The guidelines indicate that clean-up costs could top US $500 million.
November 19, 2002: Activists erect signs to warn people living around an area of land used by Union Carbide to dump its hazardous waste. When the factory was operating, toxic chemicals were disposed in open evaporation ponds. Some people have been digging up soil from the area and using it to build their houses.
November 22, 2002: Secret Union Carbide documents go public. The documents show that Union Carbide tested soil and water in and around its factory in Bhopal after the disaster and found them to be heavily contaminated. It did not make this information public but used another report, which said there was no contamination, to appease the public and the government of India. The confidential documents show they considered the findings of this report to be unreliable.
December 12, 2002: The Central Pollution Control Board orders the removal of toxic chemical waste from the premises of the Union Carbide factory within 15 days.
2008: 55 Bhopalis marched on a second Padyatra with essentially the same set of demands including the demand of supply of clean drinking water in the 18 communities. On August 8, the Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers conceded the demand for clean drinking water and other.
September 2008: In the meeting of the CCB in September 2008, State government officials assure completion of work of supplying clean drinking water by March 2009.
2009: The report of the Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi analysed samples of soil and ground water from in and around the factory along with the Central Pollution Control Board. They reported presence of high concentrations of toxic chemicals and heavy metals at three kilometres distance from the factory and at depths greater than 30 metres.
August 2009: In the meeting of the CCB in August 2009, State government officials move deadline to November 2009.
March 2012: In a meeting presided over by the Commissioner, Bhopal Division, officials of the Bhopal Municipal Corporation assured that the work of supplying clean water to the 18 communities will be completed by March 2012.
June 2012: Field visit and meeting of the Supreme Court Monitoring Committee presided over by Justice K K Lahoti, Chairman, M P State Legal Services Authority.


Int. J. Biosci. 10(4), 380-385, April 2017.
Antifungal activity of fruit, leaf and stem extract of Solanum nigrum L. prepared in four solvents i.e., ethanol, chloroform, petroleum ether and distilled water were investigated. Agar well diffusion method was utilized to study antifungal activity against five fungal strains viz. Aspergillus's Niger, A. flavors, Saccharomyces cervisae, Alternaria alternate and Fusarium oxysprum. Zone of inhibition was measured ranging from 9.3±0.66mm of stem extracts in distilled water against A. flavus and 32.42±0.66mm of fruit extracts in chloroform against A. niger. However the stem extracts in distilled water showed no detectable zone of inhibition against A. niger and A. alternate. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of extracts of S. nigrum was measured by serial dilution method. MIC was found ranging from 250μg/ml of ethanolic leaf extracts against A. Niger to 1000μg/ml of leaf extracts in chloroform against F. oxysporum. Fruit extracts in chloroform and leaf extracts in ethanol showed greater zones of inhibition as compared to standard antifungal Grisofulvin. Fruit extracts in ethanol showed 32.42±0.66mm and fruit extracts in ethanol showed 28.16±0.72mm zone of inhibition against A. Niger and F. oxysporum respectively.

República de La Boca es la denominación de varias asociaciones civiles culturales y recreativas que históricamente tuvieron como sede el barrio de La Boca de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Se conocían como micronaciones con un fin social y de entretenimiento. Al igual que otras similares, sus miembros ("ciudadanos") utilizaban títulos rimbombantes y recibían "honores" ficticios. Tenían un "gobierno" que emulaba al de un verdadero Estado.

La República Independiente de La Boca
La República Independiente de La Boca fue una organización casi legendaria de ciudadanos de origen italiano en el barrio porteño de La Boca.

Hay por lo menos tres versiones sobre los orígenes de la República Independiente de La Boca.

De acuerdo a Ignacio Weiss en su libro "Gauchos, gesuiti, genovesi", en 1876 un grupo de vecinos de La Boca habría iniciado un movimiento separatista de carácter político-electoral para reclamar la autonomía administrativa del barrio (que entonces dependía municipalmente del Concejo Deliberante y electoralmente del Colegio de San Telmo). A este grupo se habría unido otra agrupación más drástica que se proponía convertir al barrio en República Independiente a fin de que los "ciudadanos" no se entrometieran en los asuntos boquenses.

Se dice que Julio A. Roca se habría apersonado en el lugar y abortado el conflicto. Dadas las fechas, es imposible que lo hiciera en condición de presidente, ya que ese cargo estaba a la sazón en manos de Nicolás Avellaneda; sí, en cambio, podría haberlo hecho como Ministro de Guerra de la Nación.

Por otra parte, Rubén Granara Insúa, en "La República de La Boca", cita una crónica publicada en 1904 en la revista porteña Caras y Caretas por el periodista Blas Vidal, quien atribuye el origen de esta República a "un comité de defensa del barrio". Este comité habría quedado "desbaratado por la intervención de un grupo de italianos que quisieron torcer en otros sentidos los verdaderos motivos de la primera reunión, deseosos de que La Boca fuera una especie de sucursal de la Bella Italia en el Río de la Plata". Asimismo, Vidal no menciona a Julio A. Roca, sino al caudillo boquense Pepe Fernández como artífice de la solución del conflicto.

La Boca conquistó su propia jurisdicción y quedó legalmente separada de Barracas y de San Telmo en agosto de 1870, lo que también echa un manto de duda sobre las versiones anteriores.

La versión más difundida habla de un conflicto laboral en 1882 que habría desembocado en una prolongada huelga y dado pie a que un grupo de extremistas genoveses declararan la República Independiente de La Boca y pusieran este movimiento separatista en conocimiento del Rey de Italia, Humberto I de Saboya.

Tomando como modelo a la República de San Marino, habrían izado incluso su propia bandera, que superponía a la superficie albiceleste el escudo con la cruz blanca de la Casa de Saboya y estaba coronada por un gorro frigio, que posiblemente simbolizara el republicanismo del flamante "Estado". Todo habría quedado en la nada cuando Roca, entonces presidente, habría acudido al lugar con el ejército, bajando la bandera izada por los separatistas.

La declaración de una República Independiente de La Boca no figura en los diarios ni en los registros policiales de la época. Tampoco el gobierno italiano parece haber recibido ninguna comunicación oficial del grupo de fieles genoveses. Probablemente el imaginario haya magnificado uno de los habituales conflictos que surgían por ese entonces en el barrio.

Es cierto que fueron mayormente los inmigrantes italianos quienes poblaron la anegadiza región en la que desembocaban las aguas del Río Matanza-Riachuelo en el Río de la Plata. Entre 1830 y 1852 comenzó el establecimiento de familias genovesas, paralelamente a la construcción de astilleros navales y almacenes.

La emigración italiana anterior a 1860 fue preponderantemente política. En general se trataba de simpatizantes de movimientos revolucionarios fracasados que huían en busca de protección y libertad. Fueron sobre todo ellos los que difundieron ideas liberales en La Boca. Las logias, las sociedades secretas, los carbonarios y el "garibaldismo" tuvieron asiento en La Boca.

La I República de La Boca
En 1907, parte de la elite boquense decidió fundar la República de La Boca. Era un grupo muy divertido y también muy crítico, conocido principalmente de 1904 a 1906 como "los contreras de Quintana", que criticaba las actitudes del Presidente Manuel Quintana desde un periódico llamado "Quiquiriquí". Fue durante su gobierno cuando más se reprimió a los obreros y por eso en La Boca ese apellido era sinónimo de represión y de todo lo desagradable.

La I República de La Boca se constituyó el 13 de diciembre de 1907 y tuvo como presidente a Roberto T. Hosking. Su escudo era una herradura (símbolo de buena suerte), en cuyo interior se veía una mano haciendo los cuernos ("contra la jettatura").

Las leyes promulgadas por este "gobierno" fueron curiosas. Había normas que exigían la aplicación de un impuesto a los solteros,u la expulsión de extranjeros procedentes de Barracas, Constitución o del Centro y el apoyo al movimiento feminista iniciado al otro lado de la "frontera", en la Capital Federal. También regía la Ley del Canuto, que era una especie de caño hueco por donde soplaba el Presidente para hacer salir los decretos.

Organizaban eventos festivos, como las reuniones en la Isla Maciel, un apéndice de La Boca. Esas reuniones tenían un aspecto musical y las partituras ejecutadas por los músicos y autores de la época eran todas de nombres curiosos. Estas fiestas se siguieron realizando a lo largo de varios años, hasta que todo quedó en el olvido. No se sabe si aquella I República de La Boca terminó voluntariamente o cayó en el olvido.

Primer gabinete

La II República de La Boca
En 1923 el pintor Benito Quinquela Martín decidió refundar la República de La Boca. José Víctor Molina fue elegido Presidente Dictador de esta II República de La Boca, en el que participaron entre otros boquenses ilustres como Juan de Dios Filiberto, Bartolomé Gustavino, el poeta Bartolomé Botto, los vecinos Amadeo Cichero y el joyero Rogelio Bianchi, todos investidos de rimbombantes títulos nobiliarios y engalanados con estrafalarios atuendos.

Organizaron imponentes desfiles callejeros y grandes fiestas en las que participaba toda la gente de La Boca e incluso algunas figuras internacionales. En los primeros tiempos, el escenario era un famoso restaurante llamado "El Pescadito", pero desde que en 1932 se inauguró el Rancho Banchero, las fiestas pasaron a celebrarse en el local dirigido por don Juan Banchero, quien pasó a ser integrante de la II República de La Boca como Emperador de la Fugazza.

A su local, denominado "Casa de los Artistas", concurría el mundo artístico de ese tiempo, que venía incluso de otros barrios para comer la célebre fugazza con queso y el fainá, ya que todavía no había aparecido la pizza originaria del sur de Italia.

Tras el fallecimiento de Molina en 1960, lo sucedió como Presidente el escribano Victoriano Caffarena. Este gobierno decidió seguir adelante, pese al alejamiento de Benito Quinquela Martín, quien se separó y creó la "Orden del Tornillo". Las reuniones continuaron con entusiasmo y dedicación pero, con el tiempo, todo fue palideciendo hasta quedar apagado un último grupo muy pequeño que se reunía de vez en cuando, tras el fallecimiento de Caffarena en 1972. Quedó como custodio de dicha República el destacado vecino don Federico Cichero.

Primer gabinete

La III República de La Boca (1986-2022)
La III República de La Boca se fundó el 25 de julio de 1986 por iniciativa del entonces presidente del Seminario y Archivo de Historia de La Boca del Riachuelo Rubén Granara Insúa, en el local del periódico "Versiones de La Boca", dirigido por Roberto Álvarez. El lanzamiento se hizo el 20 de septiembre de 1986 con todo el equipo de ministros, de gentiluomo y gentildonne y de cavalieri. Hubo un desfile con una banda de música que recorrió las calles en dirección al Rancho Banchero, que quedó chico ante la multitud que esperaba a la comitiva. Ante grandes personalidades como el historiador Enrique de Gandia y el profesor de la Universidad de Venecia, Meo Zilio, se entregaron las condecoraciones (medallas y cadenas de distintos colores según el rango) al cuerpo íntegro de la III República de La Boca, mientras que una orquesta típica ejecutaba el himno de La Boca, el célebre tango Caminito.

La III República de La Boca se rigió por una Carta Magna en donde se establecían sus órganos de gobierno encabezados por un presidente vitalicio, 25 ministros, 3 gobernadores, y 6 embajadores y 66 gentiluomo y gentildonne, entre otros cargos. Allí se fijaron los principios, fines y objetivos y asimismo se designó al Seminario y Archivo de Historia de La Boca del Riachuelo y al Instituto de la Lengua Genovesa y Estudios Lígures como entidades regentes de la República, con la facultad de elegir a las autoridades de la misma.

El principal objetivo de la III República de La Boca era conservar la memoria del barrio y crear el Museo Histórico de La Boca. El 21 de agosto de 1987, se creó la Fundación Museo Histórico de La Boca con el fin de adquirir el edificio del antiguo Nuevo Banco Italiano, que iba a ser demolido para construir una serie de edificios. Allí se estableció la sede de la República de La Boca y de la Fundación Museo Histórico de La Boca, entidad que se erigió como nueva regente de la República.

Primer gabinete

La III República de La Boca (2022-2028)
El 22 de mayo de 2022, y luego de casi cuatro décadas como Presidente Vitalicio de La III República de La Boca, falleció Rubén Granara Insúa, su fundador. Granara Insúa había creado la Fundación Museo Histórico de La Boca en el año 1988 donde ejercía la presidencia, y desde allí gestionaba toda la labor de la República.

El 15 de julio de 2022, el Consejo de Administración de la Fundación Museo Histórico de La Boca resolvió designar al Dr. Martin Esteban Scotto como nuevo presidente de la Fundación, y éste, inició el proceso de elección del nuevo presidente de la República de La Boca. El 20 de septiembre de 2022, el Consejo de Administración de La Fundación Museo Histórico de La Boca resolvió, en su carácter de entidad regente de la República, declarar cumplidos todos los mandatos de las autoridades que aún se encontraban con vida, en virtud del fallecimiento de su Presidente Rubén Granara Insua, y proceder a la elección de la totalidad de sus integrantes. Asimismo, se resolvió que las nuevas autoridades dejasen de ser vitalicias y tuvieran mandato por 6 años, y se declaró al castellano, italiano y genovés como idiomas oficiales de la República, entre otras cosas.

En un masivo acto realizado el 19 de noviembre de 2022 en el Palacio del Museo Histórico de La Boca, el Presidente de la Fundación Museo Histórico de La Boca le tomó juramento al nuevo Presidente de la III República de La Boca Pablo Abbatángelo, quien juró por los próceres boquenses "Benito Quinquela Martín, Juan de Dios Filiberto, Victoriano Toto Caffarena, Antonio Bucich y Rubén Granara Insúa".

Las nuevas autoridades de la República de La Boca quedaron integradas por:

PETA is on the warpath this week against the upcoming film "Alpha" starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Natassia Malthe, and Leonor Varela. The animal-rights group is calling for a boycott of the new movie after allegedly learning that multiple bison were reportedly slaughtered and partially skinned to be used for a hunting scene in the production of the film. The project was shot in Vancouver, set in the last Ice Age, and tells the story of how humans first began to domesticate wild dogs. THR first reported that the Bison were killed for the production of the film.
According to a statement released by PETA this afternoon, an internal PETA investigation also revealed "chronic neglect inside Birds & Animals Unlimited, including that dogs were kept outside in barren kennels without companionship or bedding in temperatures as low as 43 degrees". The statement also indicated that because of PETA's investigation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture cited the exhibitor for violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act.
As for "Alpha," the film was directed by Albert Hughes, working off a screenplay written by Daniele Sebastian Wiedenhaupt. The film is being distributed by Gravitas Ventures. The call for a boycott comes just before the film's release in theaters nationwide, which is scheduled for August 17th. The family-drama is already going up against some fierce competition at the box-office, including the comedy "Crazy Rich Asians" with Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh, and Awkwafina, as well as the film "Mile 22" with Mark Wahlberg, Iko Uwais, Ronda Rousey, and John Malkovich.
It will be interesting to see just how the PETA boycott impacts the film's opening debut, which was already stacked against a busy box-office weekend.

Actress Priyanka Chopra, who was busy shooting for "Dil Dhadakne Do" in Europe, is back to Mumbai in time for the first death anniversary of her father Ashok Chopra. A street here, close to the actress' residence, will be named after him.
Her father, a doctor who retired from the Indian Army in 1997 as a lieutenant colonel, passed away June 10, 2013, due to cancer.
Now, a year later, a street in Yari Road is to be named after him. His "little girl" Priyanka is at peace being at home.
"The home is where the heart is. Good to be in mumbai. Tizzying hyper emotions…extremes in every way…yet a stillness that's hard to explain," Priyanka posted on Twitter.
The street naming ceremony is likely to be attended by close family and friends as well as members of the NGOs that Ashok Chopra was associated with.

Why get your windows tinted? We can get up to 99% UV protection in your car, which will make the interior last longer and increase the value of your car. If your window breaks, the film prevents glass from falling in.
Now what's the catch here?
Well, it's not as simple as just going to any old place and asking for a tint job. Besides Indiana's regulations (which you can find out more about in our FAQ), tinting isn't an easy job. A lot can go wrong, like getting dirt, creases, bubbles or moisture in the film or incorrect installation that won't last.
So, do yourself a favor and go to a specialist – we happen to have one on hand!
Our window tinter has over 20 years experience tinting glass. Your windows are in talented, safe hands with him. For a professional job, accept nothing less. And if you're not sure exactly what you want, stop by and have a chat; we can help you decide.


Keeping your silo in check is certainly no easy thing to do. If you want to get the most out of your food production silo, one of the most important factors is ensuring that there are no blockages. Blockages, after all, mean you're not getting the most from your silo. But hey, don't worry – there are certain steps you can take to prevent and avoid blocked silos in food production.
Regular maintenance on your silo is vital if you're to ensure that blockages don't build up. Good housekeeping will ensure that your silo is always in top condition, and ready for the next load of grain, and you won't have to worry about potential problems later down the line.
Unloading the silo is another place where blockages may occur. If it's not carried out correctly, ensuring a dispersal that's aligned to the exit, then you can end up with certain foodstuffs blocking the exit points – and that's helpful for precisely no-one in your company.
It makes sense, right? If you're looking to avoid blocking up your silo, then the path to the exit needs to be clear – but so, too, does the exit itself. If the silo exit has been poorly designed, then that's going to come back to haunt you when it comes to unblocking foodstuffs.
Bridging happens inside silos that hold water-absorbing food products, like sugar. Once the food has mixed with water, it bonds together and hardens. If this occurs, then it can negatively impact on the silo's operations, even obstructing the powder flow. The only way to remove any bridging is to break it up, which is a risky business.
Really want to stop blockages in your silo? Then, where possible, try to ensure there's some sort of regular flow to the products you're storing. By keeping those foodstuffs in motion, you'll be able to prevent bridging or ratholing. This may require further equipment to bring a little flow to your silo, but if you frequently suffer from a blocked silo in food production, this may be worth looking into.
Keeping your food production silo in shape isn't always the easiest of jobs, but it's by no means impossible to avoid blockages. Is it time to get your silo sorted? If you're in need of silo maintenance to bring yours up to scratch, then we're on-call to help.

Remington - Model 710
We didn't set out to raise the standards for value-priced rifles, we set out to blow them away. And this is the result: The all-new Remington' Model 710. The most affordable, high-performance centerfire rifle ever built. Through the years, Remington has garnered a reputation as the undisputed leader in bolt-action rifle design. Today, the Model 710 carries on that tradition — as the latest landmark in Remington centerfire innovation.
Introducing the Remington Model 710. The breakthrough design of the Model 710 begins with good genetics. Make that the best genetics. After all, it was born in design from none other than the legendary Remington Model 700 — unquestionably the most popular, most accurate factory-built centerfire in hunting arms history. As such, the new Model 710 shares many of the same hallmark features as the famous Model 700: The same unequaled out-of-the-box accuracy. The same time-honored reliability. The same crisp, single-stage trigger design. The same ultra-fast lock time. And the same famous "three-rings-of-steel" for superior action strength.
But while much of the Model 710's base design is owed to its heritage, its real story starts with advancements made possible through today's most modern technology. Built in America's newest firearms plant — through state-of-the-art manufacturing systems — the Model 710 not only breaks new ground for value-priced rifles, but for firearms engineering and production as a whole. Principal among its many remarkable features is a first-ever bolt-to-barrel lock-up design. The rear of the Model 710 barrel is machined specifically to mate with three unique locking lugs on the bolt face. When the bolt is fully engaged in the forward position, it locks directly and securely inside the barrel — rather than the receiver — for unprecedented strength. Additionally, the fiberglass-reinforced nylon receiver insert is blended with Teflon and silicon before molding for continual self-lubrication and ultimately smooth operation.
A shorter, 60-degree bolt throw (versus 90-degrees on most competitive rifles) makes for more convenient loading and unloading, as well as faster follow-up shots. Rounding out the impressive list of features is a detachable, dual-stack steel magazine box. A key-operated Integrated Security System. And a button-rifled barrel that's hydraulically pressed to the receiver. The stock is also quite a feat of design — constructed of weather-defying gray synthetic with a uniquely textured finish and raised cheekpiece.
Feature for feature, there isn't a more advanced rifle in its range.
New Model 710 bolt design employs three unique locking lugs that lock the bolt up inside the barrel — rather than the receiver — delivering unprecedented strength, particularly among other rifles in its class.
Proven Remington cylindrical receiver design features a unique new fiberglass-reinforced, self-lubricating nylon receiver insert, impregnated with both silicon and Teflon for ultimately smooth, reliable bolt operation. Shorter 60-degree bolt throw (vs. 90-degree throw on competing rifles) delivers faster follow-up shots.
22" ordnance-grade steel barrel is button-rifled (the same process used on custom rifle barrels) with 6-groove, right-hand, 1-in-10 twist rifling. Additionally, the barrel is hydraulically pressed to the receiver for permanent attachment and bedded in the stock.
Removable, dual-stack steel magazine box (as opposed to blind design on competitive models) with center feed and four-round capacity.
Unique, dark-gray specially textured synthetic composite stock with raised cheekpiece (unavailable on competitive rifles), black recoil pad and sling swivel studs.
42 1/2" overall length; 7 1/8 lbs. (up to 3/8-lb. lighter than other rifles in its class).

Gorgeous wedding photographed at Thornewood Castle in Tacoma, Washington!
Heather and Malcolm are two of the sweetest people you will EVER meet! I adore these smiling faces. From the moment we first started chatting about their wedding plans, I knew that these two would be fun! We couldn't have had better weather. The light was simply delicious for their first look and garden ceremony! The whole day was full of endless laughter. Afterwards, they celebrated with friends and family in Thornewood's formal dining room! These two were full of laughter and so much fun!


Imagine yourself in the rolling hills of Green County in southern Wisconsin, and you'll find yourself in Monticello, the Heart of Green County. This friendly community lies in the southwestern part of the state between New Glarus, America's Little Switzerland, and Monroe, the Green County seat. A getaway located thirty miles south of Madison, Wisconsin's capital, Monticello offers the closeness to the city and the wonders of the country. Stepping onto Main Street, you're greeted with warm hospitality.
When you enter Monticello from Highway 69, the limestone monument and beautiful Lake Montesian herald your arrival. Ducks and geese greet visitors with their antics. Beyond the curved footbridge, the lake's island features picnicking facilities and is the scenic setting for many weddings. An octagon shelter house provides additional facilities on the lake's east side. Near the lake, two rows of over one hundred flowering crab trees line the entry into the village. On the north side, the Green County Vietnam Veterans Memorial stands along the Little Sugar River. By taking the walking path from Main Street, you can stroll over a covered footbridge and along the park to Montesian Gardens. This community garden features individual flowerbeds that bloom continually from spring until frost.
In Monticello's large park setting near the Little Sugar River are the community swimming pool, playgrounds, and volleyball and basketball courts. Like biking or snowmobiling? Or how about hiking through rock cut areas that the glaciers missed? Monticello offers easy access to the 23-mile Sugar River State Trail. Lodging can be found at one of the family friendly motels or Bed & Breakfasts in the area, or your group can experience a special night at the Cheese Warehouse, a primitive hostel near the Sugar River Trail. This building, featuring 12 inch stone walls, was restored for overnight and reception rental.
Whether you explore Lake Montesian Park, walk along Main Street with its circa 1900s storefronts, or stop on the way along the Sugar River Recreational Trail, Monticello offers you a place of rest and refreshment. In the picturesque village, you will find the M&M Cafe on the Little Sugar River, The Monticello House, a turn of the century supper club which features American entrees, and The Dining Room at 209 Main, an award winning gourmet restaurant. For a quick meal break any day of the week, visit the very special deli at Gempeler's Supermarket or stop, at any one of the unique pubs along Main Street. Plan to browse in the assorted shops, and feel free to visit local businesses, churches, the school and the public library.

Halloween Ends succeeds because it's barely a horror film
The third in the trilogy trades a high body count for a sophisticated reckoning with evil

Michael Myers has always occupied a curious space among horror icons. "The Shape," ever since he first appeared in 1978, has been silent and implacable, a killer who acts from no clear motivation at all. Whereas Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees and Leatherface all possess intricate, tangled backstories, Myers began as an avatar of something else: the presence of an evil that cannot be psychologized away.
That sort of evil, as a concept, isn't really in vogue so far as modern horror goes. Rob Zombie's 2007 reboot tried to retool Myers's backstory by blaming his murderous...
That sort of evil, as a concept, isn't really in vogue so far as modern horror goes. Rob Zombie's 2007 reboot tried to retool Myers's backstory by blaming his murderous tendencies on bad parenting. And plenty of other contemporary horror flicks, from The Babadook to Smile, place psychological trauma and its consequences front-and-center. Hence, to speak of evil qua evil as something "external" — something metaphysically wrong — is to float the upsetting possibility that there may be some terrors that society can't contain or combat.
Halloween Ends, the concluding chapter of a reboot trilogy that began in 2018, places this issue at the forefront. Picking up four years after 2021's mediocre Halloween Kills, this aptly named finale aims, once and for all, to provide a decisive resolution to the story of babysitter-turned-survivalist Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and the great shadow that haunts her. And on that front, it succeeds — albeit by undercutting the very strangeness of Myers the killer, and telling a very different story than the one that audiences will expect.
M3GAN is a biting satire of screen-obsessed parenting
M3gan is a tale of millennial mothering
Johanne Lykke Holm's neogothic horror
Long live the New England horror story
Wanted this Halloween: terror films, not horror
Indeed, this is barely Michael and Laurie's story at all. It's the story of Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), a shy young man who inadvertently causes a horrendous accident leading to a child's death. Rejected by the town of Haddonfield and demonized by everyone he knows, Corey struggles to fit in, anchored only by a burgeoning romance with Laurie's granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak). As his ostracism worsens, Corey soon finds himself ensnared in the web of an old evil — weakened now, and older, but as bloody-minded and unrelenting as ever.
So, yes, Michael Myers does turn up. And he does kill. But what sort of monster is he? Or are any of us?
At the heart of this tale is the longstanding question that has followed the franchise since its origin: are human beings born into wickedness, with some incarnating the darkness in a particularly destructive way? Or are they made monsters by circumstances? The series has veered uneasily between these poles, never really settling on a single answer. Here, at last, we get a straightforward reckoning with the question — and a conclusion, of sorts.
Cultural theorist Rene Girard is perhaps best known for his analysis of the scapegoat, the designated sufferer who externalizes a community's proclivity for internal violence and dissensus. The moral economy of the scapegoat is a sacrificial economy, one where only blood can temporarily expiate the sins of the collective. And without spoiling too much, it's safe to say that Halloween Ends wraps with some of the most overtly Girardian images ever put to film, rendering a kind of retrospective judgment on the entire franchise. Michael Myers may hold the butcher knife but his evil is merely a projection of the seething rage and unforgiveness that churn beneath Haddonfield's sleepy surface.
That approach may irritate those longing to see Myers back in action as an eldritch, immortal predator. But Halloween Ends is decidedly an earned conclusion, one that dares to treat its own franchise as more than just a trashy slasher saga. Director David Gordon Green, to his credit, clearly believes this story can still have something to say, something perennial — and if the cost of serious-mindedness is a slightly lower body count, so be it.
In the end, Halloween Ends is a "horror film" unlike any other, one that barely merits the descriptor. But that's precisely why it succeeds.

This lovely lady adds to the delicious egg crop too. Can you imagine how good the eggs are from free grazing hens. I truly find it very hard to eat the pale yolked eggs from a grocery store.
The eggs are a little crisper than I had planned but they were delicious nonetheless. The asparagus was from my garden.
Des œufs avec des asperges, tu me donnes faim.
Mary MacADNski: Real, true food.
Mary MacADNski: Isn't she lovely?
What a beauty!!!! Your breakfast looks quite yummy!
Mary MacADNski: Though it looks like breakfast it was dinner for me. I like my grainy goodness in the morning.
She is wearing a wonderful dress Mary!
Mary MacADNski: I have a similar skirt.
Very much agreed regarding those delicious looking yolks Mary - beautiful isn't she!
Mary MacADNski: She is very well cared for.
We are fortunate enough to get our eggs from a neighbour with free range chickens. The eggs taste very good Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Country living is best for the freshest food.
It is amazing to see so many different beauties of hens. The meal looks delicious, I have just eaten asparagus with potatoes.
Mary MacADNski: I have been eating asparagus daily as usual this time of year and certainly with potatoes which PEI is famous for.
Now I can understand why yoiu get such fine eggs; she's a beauty! I'm eating duck egss at the moment.
Mary MacADNski: Country livbing at it's best. You might like tomorrow's post.
Nice looking hen, but even nicer looking breakfast.
Mary MacADNski: Don't I know it. There has never been a chemical on my own food.
"The sky is falling...I tell you!"
Mary MacADNski: You can talk all you want.... We have been privileged to finally get rain a few days ago. Let the skies fall - an inch a week.
If the eggs were half as good as she looks I am sure they were delicious.
A pond life update: No ducklings but I did see we have a couple of moorhen chicks this morning. Not on the water yet so I hope they survive.
Mary MacADNski: I am not familiar with moorhens but can picture them from photos here. I know nothing of their habits. I have pond news too. A beaver has come on my side.
Mary MacADNski: I could eat one if I didn't cook it. But gosh, I would never buy supermarket eggs.
Is she a Barred Plymouth Rock, Mary?
We had one named June after my mother in law who was born in Plymouth.
Mary MacADNski: She probably is as that is a popular breed. They have lots of variety in their hen stock.
Mary MacADNski: All fresh and new. My garden has been abundant.
