here is my entry: Decided i wanted to do a BOB hurricane ace so i found a techmond sheet at a show/contest last week and will do Witold Urbanowicz's hurricane (middle aircraft on the decal sheet shown below) i believe the leading polish hurricane ace.
I built exactly the same one for Airfix IV campaign I will follow your build with interest.
I started to put the fuselage halves together - just the small strip forward of the cockpit and behind the engine. I did it this way so the halves would be together to accept the engine and then cockpit but still allow some wiggle room to fit things.
All was going well as I put the engine and bulkhead in. Then I figured I see how the top cover for the engine fit. Ha! Friggin' thing won't fit over the engine. I really don't believe I misplaced any parts. So...an engineless Spit. I can get the necessary parts in there to support the propeller and exhausts and keep the shape correct, so give ICM some engineering credit (maybe about 14%?).
Yeah, I'm pretty torqued about it. It almost crash landed in the roundfile. So...seek a different Spitfire Mk. IX than this one.
Mike, Sorry for the Gremlins in that kit.
Hi Mike I've built the kit and from memory leaving the rocker covers off allows you to put the top cover on at least it did for my build.
But the majority of the engine is there for exhausts props etc.
I'd heard that the cowls didn't fit around the motor so I'd built the motor without rocker covers since I wasn't going to do a diorama.
Fuselage together and beginning of the wings.
I like the "chopped" look to the wing tips.
Coming along Mike, I'm watching from the side line as apart from being able to stick bits together at two shows I'm attending this month, my work schedule will not see me get to the bench. I have got to wait until June before I can get any paint down.
Nothing much done as I've been working on my Flak Drasine and Mack Cruise-Liner.
I did manage to get the "holding frame" built.
It's made of thin 1/4"(?) ply that's been laser cut. The base parts fit together pretty good. The uprights had holes cut too small for two of the parts to fit so I had to sand them a bit to get them together. Seems useful - at least for keeping an unbuilt plane off the bench.
Mike, I am liking your Spitfire progress. Where did you get the stand/cradle? I may want to obtain one.
I bought the stand from Hobby.dn.ua. The direct link is here.
I can't recall the total cost, but it was quite reasonable.
Underside has main color on it. Top surface is now primed. I'm really debating about putting invasion stripes on it.
Looking forward to doing the camo on the upper/side surfaces.
Lots of Honey-Doo work lately, along with my real job at HD. Bench has been beckoning to me but I've not been able to answer. Yet.
why would they mold that in black??? i seen one of these kits at mosquitocon this weekend for $8. i was going to go back and buy it later but couldn't remember which vendor it was at.
don't know what happened to my start photo. i guess facebook is not a reliable media to use. i am building a BOB hurricane. i will try to post another photo soon.
anyway due to a combination of life and an electrical issue that knocked out the power to my bench area, i was delayed but managed to start last night by flashlight power. i still have no power to use my compressor/ AB and spray booth so i am limited right now.
update: i stand corrected. my start up photo is on the third page. i missed it.
Here is my entry for the campaign.
I have gone back to the beginning for this one.
Bought this when it came out. It will be my first rigged bi-plane. I did build an E III for the first Canvas Falcons.
Found this little tome the other day for some background. I didn't realise how anti the Admiralty and Army were to a new service. Plenty of politics and pettiness before it got off the ground!
Since the SE.5a had been around awhile, to make sure this qualifies I will build this version from the first months of the RAF.
Some aftermarket that was released for this kit. I have read mixed reviews about the metal flying wires but I will try them before resorting more likely to EZE line.
And the starting gun picture. Hopefully make a start soon.
Excellent choice! Even these first WNW kits were a revelation in the modeling community. I immediately ordered two of these and two of the Bristol fighters. I've actually built one of the SE5s. Loved it. It was my first model rigged with EZ line and I still use that.
Thanks Michael. Did you post your build on Aeroscale. I went back in the Early Aviation pages to find a build but unless I missed it there doesn't seem to be in the last few years.
Michael, I hope you post lots of progress photos, I've got this in my stash and I'm looking forward to getting onto it at some point. Keen to see how you get on.
I may have posted it in a Knights of the Sky campaign years ago, but if I did you won't be able to see it as I was using Photobucket at the time (and we all know what happened there). Sorry about that! It was my first WWI subject in many many years, so I suspect you'll do a better job anyway.
thanks shrimpman. i found a camo masking templet online and am looking forward to using it. in the mean time got a little work done as seen below. been slow going for me as life gets in the way and i still have not finished redoing my bench area.
decided to give the gun bay a try but i want to be able to close it up when i want to so i added some support lips around the opening.the kit supplied panels are too thick though to lay flat and even with the rest of the wing so i may have to thin them. currently working on the seat harness. i am using medical tape for the belts, just have to figure out how to make the buckles and adjusters. anyone out there have any suggestions?

been trying to post through facebook and didn't work. can't remember how i did it so i went through flickr.
Lots of good progress here! Joe, I do hope you get your photo stuff worked out, I like seeing your work!
A quick update! I got the interior colors painted, and am working on the cockpit. So far, this seems to be a nice little kit. Granted I know very little of Spitfire's, except I do like the elegant shape.
I punched out, and used Airscale decals for the instruments. I really think they add a bit to the kit. I also hit the interior with a wash of diluted oils (black and brown). I will be installing the "Sutton harness", which will be a challenge for me!


On 04/16/2015 at about 2:00 PM the Sheriff's Office and CHP responded to a reported hit and run on Broadway near Texerna Court just east of Placerville. In the 2000 block of Broadway, Deputies and CHP Officers found a seriously injured adult male that appeared to be struck by a car. The involved vehicle was reportedly a silver 2001 BMW driven by 45 year-old Terrie Crampton of Pollock Pines. She reportedly was the girlfriend of the victim. Crampton returned to the scene and the BMW was located in the 3300 block of Newtown Road.
Due to the seriousness of the victim's injuries, he was air lifted to a hospital in Roseville. Sheriff's Office Detectives and CSI were summoned to the scene. The incident is being investigated as an assault with a deadly weapon. The incident is still under investigation.

Meet Corvallis' New NAACP President Jason J. Dorsette
Jason J. Dorsette takes the lead at the NAACP Corvallis/Albany branch as racial equality and equity are once again in the national spotlight, dominating this past year's discussions after the widely publicized deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of law enforcement.
Dorsette originally hails from High Point, North Carolina, which is notably the furniture capital of America, if not the world. He relocated to Corvallis in 2014 for a job at Oregon State University, where he currently works in the Educational Opportunities Program, which academically supports traditionally underserved groups such as students of color and those with marginalized identities. He's also pursuing a PhD from the educational policy and equity program, looking at the ways racial identity impacts the perception of the environment.
Coming to OSU from the south was partly an opportunity for Dorsette to achieve his goal of seeing all 50 states. He's up to 46 states now, but Oregon isn't letting him go so easy. What he intended as a brief visit for a job interview turned into something more. When he got back to North Carolina, he couldn't shake thinking about Oregon, so after praying and meditating on it, Dorsette quit his job and moved nearly 3,000 miles for a new adventure.
"I fell in love with the people, the faculty and staff and students on the campus of Oregon State University," Dorsette said.
Dorsette's Educational Background
Education is fundamental to Dorsette, who attended North Carolina Central University, a historically Black university in Durham, North Carolina, where he earned a bachelor's degree in middle grade education and history that led to a stint as a seventh-grade social studies teacher. He moved to Washington D.C. to teach and work in a Department of Education program supporting students of color in the area.
"While I was living in D.C., I realized I really love politics," he said. "I really love the hustle and bustle of the government of a big city."
When an opportunity arose to get a master's degree in public policy administration, Dorsette jumped at the chance. From there, he developed and grew a successful and ongoing males of color mentoring program for college campuses, called the Centennial Scholars program. He said the program has been shown to improve retention and graduation rates for men of color.
A bit of trouble aside (what can you expect when a bunch of guys are living together), that program allowed Dorsette to tap into a primary interest of his – working with Black men. As a Black man himself, raised by a single mother, he knows firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate spaces in society.
Dorsette and the NAACP
When he was interviewing at OSU, Dorsette met Barry Jerkins, who was president of the local NAACP branch at the time. They hit it off immediately – Jerkins is from Alabama so they shared stories about living in the south and adjusting to the Pacific Northwest. An older man, Dorsette looked to Jerkins as an "uncle" figure, a role model. Plus, he was really the only Black person Dorsette had gotten to know here.
Finding out Jerkins was involved with the NAACP tightened the bond. Dorsette grew up in a family that was invested in social justice, civil rights, and civic organizations, so he was essentially birthed into the movement. Surprised to learn there was even a branch in Corvallis, Dorsette came to check it out. There was some immediate confusion – almost everyone was white.
"I remember calling my grandma and saying 'Granny, I went to this NAACP meeting and the president was Black, and of course I was there, I was Black, but everyone else was white,'" he said. "And she said 'Oh my, what in the world?'"
But Dorsette stuck with it out of fondness for Jerkins, and it wasn't long before he was fond of the branch members as well, impressed that they were so actively involved in working to end racial inequities. He became immersed with them, joining committees and working on projects, giving presentations and hosting discussions, eventually rising to vice president in the organization.
When Angel Harris chose not to run for re-election, she came to Dorsette asking if he was interested. It seemed daunting at first, particularly when reflecting on her leadership and accomplishments, but Dorsette gave it some thought and decided to gamble on it – to see what he could do on behalf of racial identity, as well as for humanity itself.
"The NAACP is important because humanity is important," he said. "When we think about race and racial identity, or humanity in general, we have to recognize that people are all coming from different walks of life, and we are made up of various different experiences that shape how we view the world."
Getting involved with the NAACP is about more than the shared experiences of people of color, Dorsette said. It's also about learning opportunities for anyone who wants to expand their understanding of cultural differences, racial identity development, and the importance of both. More people appear to see the benefit in recent years, as Dorsette noted a swelling in membership from a few dozen to several hundred. The monthly Zoom meetings easily top 250 people, he said.
"There is a level of engagement like never before," Dorsette said, adding that much of the uptick in involvement is directly tied to the deaths of Floyd and Taylor among others, magnified by the inescapable reality of the coronavirus pandemic, which has left us with nothing better to do than self-examination of the nation's ills and our own. The lack of leadership in the White House and Congress further added to people seeking answers from organizations such as the NAACP.
The organization makes a difference locally, advocating for initiatives such as the creation of the first bias/hate response program approved by the Corvallis City Council this past year, which includes a full-time project manager to address bias and hate concerns. Tremendous strides have been made in partnering with the local K-12 school system, bringing racial justice discussions to the classroom and breaking up the traditional curriculum that is dominated by white cultural and historical achievements by introducing people of color as important figures.
Racism in Oregon
That work couldn't be more important in Oregon, where many of us grow up never realizing the racist history of the state, which was founded as a white separatist utopia with laws excluding people of color. That legacy is responsible for the lack of diversity in Oregon today. Dorsette, despite being a student of history, was also blissfully unaware of Oregon's terrible secret past until one day he got a raw, nasty dose of it.
"I certainly experienced a lot of racism in the south, but it felt different," Dorsette said.
On his first day of work at OSU, he was walking to campus when he encountered a white woman in maybe her 70s or 80s. He was headed into a coffee shop, and as a classic southern gentleman, he held the door for the lady to enter first, saying, "Here you go, ma'am."
The woman looked at him, pointed, and hurled a racial slur. He responded, "Excuse me?" She doubled down, despite the massive size difference between the two, firing off the expletive a second time and pointing again, stating: "You're not supposed to be here, and you're not supposed to dress like that." Dorsette was wearing a suit; loves to dress well.
He started putting it together in his head. He'd been in town for three days and hadn't seen a single Black person. His first experience with another person was the coffee shop racist. Out of curiosity, Dorsette hit Google for the diversity demographics of Oregon and found that shockingly low number — less than 2% of Oregonians are Black. From there, he clicked a link to the Oregon Black Pioneers page, and a video there laid out the history of Oregon for him.
"And I said wow," Dorsette said. "What have I gotten myself into?"
Since then, Dorsette has been able to recruit and hire people of color at OSU, but retaining them is a struggle. He chalks that up to the racist history of the state, but also the cultural environment, which is largely absent of Black churches, restaurants, barbershops – the little things that add up to a sense of place, good or bad.
Dorsette is a glass-half-full kind of guy, so he's looking to the positive side on race relations in America. He has a feeling that awareness is growing, bringing with it boldness and courage out of individuals, and sparking tough conversations about where we go from here.
"I'm all about calling people into a conversation, versus trying to call people out," he said. That means meeting people where they are, and being open to everyone's perspectives and experiences. It's a little easier with the intellectual capacity of a college town like Corvallis, because education makes a great vehicle for open discussions and critical thinking.
Going forward, Dorsette plans a handful of new initiatives along with carrying out ongoing work. He wants to promote environmental climate justice programs and activities and show how communities of color are disproportionately suffering from climate change. He'll work to advance the partnership with local and regional organizations and government institutions, including the City Hall and Corvallis Police Department as well as OSU.
Developing a strong support system for the area's homeless population is on the agenda, as are overall housing conditions in Corvallis. Building a stronger relationship with the LGBTQ community is another key goal, especially because there are many identity intersections between that community and people of color. And he's looking at economic opportunities to aid the Black, Indigenous, People of Color community, hoping for collaboration between city and county governments and business owners of color.
"Lastly, I'm all about learning; I love to facilitate and lead learning opportunities for everybody to come and learn about social justice, social change, and the history of Oregon," Dorsette said.

Shannon Thompson will host a contra dance birthday bash Saturday, March 16, at Rockport Opera House to benefit The Rig teen center in Camden. It is the third time the Camden resident has celebrated her birthday by hosting a fundraising event. Shannon Thompson
In 2010 Shannon Thompson had a vision for her birthday celebration: she wanted the North Haven-based band Toughcats to perform. After considering options to facilitate the show Thompson said she came up with an idea.
"Why not make it a benefit?" she said.
Thompson said she realized a performance by the popular band could draw a crowd and found a way to have her proverbial cake and eat it, too, selling tickets and ultimately donating more than $3,000 to Partners in Health to benefit victims of the catastrophic earthquake that devastated Haiti just two months prior to her March 12 birthday.
Thompson said the event was successful and has catalyzed a tradition — she's celebrated her birthday in the spirit of helping others almost every year since. On March 16 Thompson will ring in her birthday with a contra dance at Rockport Opera House to benefit The Rig, a Camden-based teen organization.
The band headlining the contra dance — Perpetual E-motion — hails from Maine. Thompson lauded them as "one of the best contra bands in the country."
"They're totally innovative, they're just really incredible, it's worth coming just to listen to the band," she said of Perpetual E-Motion.
Thompson said her 2011 birthday benefit took place at Echo Hill in St. George with a local funk band performing. Proceeds that year benefited a community member struggling with illness. In 2012, she took a break from the tradition.
"I didn't do it last year [2012] because I like to travel on my birthday also," Thompson said with a grin.
In addition to the contra dance, a taco bar prepared by Cafe Miranda chef and owner Kerry Altiero will be available for ticket holders and a contra basics workshop will also take place before the official 7 p.m. start of the dance, which is slated to continue until 10 p.m.
"[Altiero] is so generous, he does so much for this community," said Thompson, adding when she approached Altiero about catering the event, he agreed enthusiastically.
Thompson said the food component adds incentive for would-be attendees and members of the local contra community.
"It's also a good opportunity for people who have been curious about contra to come try it," she said.
A raffle, which Thomson said was spearheaded by her friend Kate Mcmorrow of Thrive Wellness, entices with a prize package valued at more than $1,000. Thompson said the package features gift certificates for local, wellness-oriented services donated by local practitioners.
"We're calling it 'a year of wellness' even though there are actually 13 [services]," Thompson said.
A diverse range of services include massage, acupuncture, body rolling and reflexology. Thompson said the gift certificates can be used by the winner of the raffle prize or given as gifts to others.
Choosing a beneficiary always poses a challenge, Thompson said. She chose The Rig after some deliberation.
"There are so many deserving organizations, I like the fact that [The Rig] is really youth-driven, they're so grassroots and they operate on a shoestring budget," she said.
Thompson added the fundraising goal — $3,000 — could make a significant difference to The Rig, and the funds directly benefit the local community.
Thompson said word has caught on about the upcoming benefit.
"People I don't even know are stepping up to volunteer," she said.
Will Mentor, who will call the contra, is traveling from out of state and Thompson said Lord Camden Inn volunteered a room for him to stay in.
Another cause close to Thompson is cancer in children, she grew reflective for a moment as she remembered her niece who succumbed to the disease in 2011. She said a future benefit will likely raise money for a related cause.
Thompson said she designed the tickets — and eye-catching posters — herself.
"That's part of the fun for me," she said.
Tickets are $25 in advance for the dance and taco bar or $15 for the dance alone. Tickets are available at HAV II and Zoot Coffee in Camden and Rock City in Rockland or online at birthdaybenefit.org.
Raffle tickets are $5 each or five for $20 and can also be purchased at the above locations.
All proceeds will benefit The Rig.

Don't worry, we're not going to talk about public relations, the PR in the title stands for the "pull request", the base unit of contribution in today's open-source world. The intention of this article is to shed some light on how to start contributing in an open-source project.
As you may know, Kentico's open-source projects are hosted on GitHub, which is an online code repository system based on Git. Git is probably the most powerful version control system that is out there today, but its complexity comes hand in hand with a steep learning curve. Though GitHub tries hard to compensate for this steepness by wrapping Git in a fancy UI and making the development process straightforward, it's still not always completely clear what's going on behind the scenes. This is something that often discourages newcomers from contributing to open-source projects.
When it comes to contributions, you'll often hear people talking about "PR" or "pull requests". PR is a way of submitting your changes to an open-source project. Basically, it is a request for the maintainer of the project to pull your changes and merge them into the main codebase. When you are able to submit a pull request, you are ready to contribute. Creating a pull request has some rules and requires a certain level of knowledge. To make it easier for beginners, we put some effort into making our repositories more friendly ( ) and became part of Up for Grabs and First Timers Only initiatives.
So let me take you through the process of creating your first PR.
Git is hard, GitHub is hard. So we'll need some encouragement to make the first step.
Learn a little bit about the First Timers Only and Your First PR initiatives (big thanks to their authors Scott Hanselman, Charlotte Spencer and Kent C. Dodds and all propagators).
Get comfy and watch The Myth of the Genius Programmer.
Many repositories contain issues marked with first-timers-only and up-for-grabs labels. KInspector and AD Import Service are no exceptions. These labels are to distinguish issues that should be easy to implement and contain a detailed walk-through of the whole contribution process.
You can also browse the up-for-grabs.net site, which gathers and categorizes such issues and makes them easy to find.
Forking will create your own writable copy of the repository within your GitHub space.
You can either click "Open in Visual Studio" in your repository.
Or click "Clone in Desktop" if you have the GitHub Desktop application installed.
Or copy "Clone URL" and paste it in Visual Studio's Team Explorer on the "Manage Connections" tab.
Now there are three copies of the repository.
Create a new branch (this helps to keep your changes isolated).
Go to "Team Explorer -> Branches" and right-click the master branch.
Select "New Local branch from..." and name it accordingly.
Once you're finished with implementation, make sure your code complies with contribution guidelines.
Go to the "Team Explorer -> Changes" and provide a meaningful message followed by an issue identifier (e.g., "Added username validation - Fixes #10") and click the commit button. This will commit the changes to your local repository.
Publish - if you are doing it for the first time (this will copy your new local branch to GitHub).
Push - if you are doing it for the second and all subsequent time(s).
Click the "Compare & pull request" button.
Provide a meaningful description of your changes and submit a pull request.
Wait until we review the code (we may merge it directly or suggest some additional changes).
You can always reach out to us via Gitter. Both our projects have their Gitter rooms, so just go to the repository and click the button. You can also leave your comments in issues.
Contributing to an open-source project can be really rewarding. It's not about doing someone else's job, it's about broadening horizons, diving deep into technology you're interested in. It's a great opportunity to find out more about how things work under the hood instead of just using them blindly.
Let your first pull request be for a Kentico repository. We are ready to help you!
Thanks, Petr! This was really useful for me!


…and the pleasures of one of the most delicate of Italian dishes: Fiori di Zucca Friti.
What happens if you feel like serving stuffed Zucchini Flowers for you guests (My daughter Daphne and Udi), arriving for a visit from the UK to Tel-Aviv? and zucchini flowers are hard to impossible to get by? Here in the Mid East most zucchinis are of the Lebanese summer squash type (Kusa in Arabic) which are often lighter green or even white, and are sold fully matured with no flower in sight, not as baby courgettes or courgette flowers.
So at the nursery I chose The Best of British F1 Hybrid, which has the largest male flowers (easier to stuff) and fast to mature to their flowering state.Other variety to contemplate is Courgette Nano Verde di Milano (High yielding squash Flowers seeds).
So…Three weeks prior to the meal I saw the seeds in a small sawing pot and than move them into an outdoor large pot, where thereafter they seem to be growing by the minute (rather than the day) you could almost hear them growing into the summer sun and soon enough after two and a half weeks flower stems of green orange and yellow started to sprout, what a delightful sight… So bright yellow with a hue of dark orange, zucchini flowers are so alluring to look at, that you get your cooking ideas just as you look at them.
I did not expect all the 11 seeds to sprout or to get so many flowers off each plant, but there you go, all sprouted on time and yielded an enormous amount of flowers daily, for several weeks, which lasted us for, quit a few meals, Heaven!!!
Planting: Plant seed outdoors when the soil temperature has reached 15°C (60°F), not to worry we are in the Middle East the average outside temperature is around 30°C and over.
Watering: Zucchini like consistently moist soil. To prevent problems with disease, always water from below.
Fiori di Zucca are irresistible when you shop at farmer's markets around Italy. My favorite way is to deep-fry them stuffed with goat cheese stuffing in a very light beer batter.
Choose freshly flowers picked early in the morning (these ones are tightly closed and bug bug-free). Do not rinse them and let them open with their stems in a water pot like any ordinary flowers if the petals do not spread out separate the petals gently with your finger. Male flowers only have a stems, no squash attached, female flowers with baby zucchini attached are delicious as the baby zucchini need very little cooking to become tender and 4 minutes frying is just right.
If you store them for a later time Zucchini flowers should be refrigerated and tightly sealed, they will keep as fresh for about 24 hours.
One of the pleasures of summer in Italy are fried stuffed zucchini flowers, thin, crisp fiori stuffed with melted Mozzarella cheese sometimes "spiced" with anchovies or various cheeses, or spread over a pizza.
Always use the blossoms as soon as possible after picking, as they will start to wilt after a day.
Whisk a bit of flour with one egg until thick, than add beer slowly (it foams at first, and dilutes the batter fairly quickly so add flour if needed to thicken the batter) to a consistency of light cream. Dip the flowers in the batter, give them a twirl to get rid of any excess batter, and deep fry them in hot oil constantly turning until they turn golden about two to four minutes.
In a small bowl, stir together the egg add some 2-3 tablespoons of flour and the salt. Add the beer and whisk just until blended.
Combine the cheeses; egg and herbs the anchovies to a thick consistency easy to role and stuff each blossom tighten the tip s of the petals together to prevent overflow into the cooking oil.
In a deep frying pan, pour enough oil to a depth of 5-7cm. heat the oil until a bit of the batter sizzles when dropped in.
4-5 at a time, dip the flowers into the batter dish, carefully turning to coat each flower completely. Lift out and let the excess drip off. Slip the battered flowers into the hot oil and fry until crisp and golden on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer the fried blossoms to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Serve immediately.
Fiori di zucca are so delicate and delicious you could / should be "creative" with your stuffing of choice. Stuffing with mozzarella will melt inside the fried blossom and ooze out as you bite on it, what else could you want.
*"Conserved" white Tuna following an old Italian tradition of preserving cooked fish in brine covered by olive oil, salt and herbs called conservata.
*A salad of roasted Endive, Arugula, white peach, Figs and Roquefort.
*Carpaccio of fresh scallops in Yuzu, Lime, Black Caviar and Nasturtium flowers.
*"Sashimi" of white Tuna in Yuzu, chili oil and wasabi sesame.
E. Barnaut Grand Reserve, NV Grand cru Champagne (from Bouzy) that was sublime and perfect with the scallops and "Sashimi" a real gem of a perfectly dry but fruity (citrus) champagne, with over 60% Pinot Noir you can actually feel the "traces" of strawberries and cherries on the nose and palate from this little known small champagne house.
The 2012 Cloudy Bay which in theory was the perfect wine for the occasion but turned to be on the floral side, with very little sauvignon blanc characteristics and leaning too much to the sweet side lacking the expected crispiness.
Don't despair we don't have to pop into a far away wine shop or even the local corner shop to find a good replacement for this "disappointment" just a few steps down to the basement and into the cellar where we gamble on an eleven years old Sancere: 2002 Domaine Roger Champault Sancerre Le Clos du Roy, Loire, France. Another go on a Sauvignon Blanc, this time left us surprised, after all this wine is over 10 years of age but the distinctively smoky, gunflint character of Loire Sauvignon Blanc from this area is so well defined here, this is a classic Sancerre palate that is described by Loire locales as: "pierre a fusil" – The aromas and flavour of Gun flint which define this wine (some say the pronounced minerality reminds the taste of the fossil stone, though the spelling should go like "pierre a fossil", well in any case it had these qualities I guess I am drawn to wine through these oddities of odd flavours, its usual brilliant pale gold turned to deep gold and it felt more ripe than the crisp side, citrus aromas were felt with enough acidity to keep the wine fresh and appealing. The wine is round and by now lacking the sharp edges of youth, yet if felt fresh on the palate with a nice long finish. I guess that this wine was described as: "almost unripe" when tasted (by others at 2003), actually helped it to survive and our "patience" paid off a decade later.
O M G ! I am drooling!
What an excellent article, very helpful and informative. Thank you.

I had never heard about the event before, there are certainly a bunch of topics about doomsday, apocalypse, and revelations just about anything you can imagine focusing only on fear (at least in my side of the coasts). For instance, some years ago I had two people approaching me constantly in every social event in a friendly manner and they would speak mostly about nuclear war, nuclear bombs, groups of people taking shelter, everything wiped out and only the remnants of big cities left. I walked away from all of this of course but I won't deny they managed to scare me, so I started to search the internet for stuff like this, things about the future, and I read almost something about everything, it was crazy, from sharks turning into dolphins to people becoming light beings to how our five continents would become one once again due to some major catastrophes in the coming years. I had a hard time going through all of this but eventually I understood that it was just stuff to try and make me take the bite. Thinking about this, it won't matter in what part of the world you find yourself in; cults and stuff probably have the same psychological method everywhere I suppose. Not that I believe anything of the things mentioned above are impossible, but they would certainly take an incredible amount of time like millions of years and it wouldn't be just something that happens in a few generations and requires you to support it. Lol. I do believe in everything you mention LightBeam, it goes well with what I've learned and I suppose it can be explained in terms of "energy, frequency and vibrations".


My skin is burning off at his every touch.
as my flesh melts off my skeleton.
I see a shell of who I once was.
The eyes that seemed wild with insanity?
To the place that feeds on the life of you.
It's a crossroad, they said.
Ever give in to ignorance?
Mocking me with it's security.
Mocking me with it's unfeeling presence.
I long to feel warmth.
Heard by no one except from me.
I see the word guilt but what does it mean?
A knife in my hand as they sing their twisted song.
Has she quit and renounced her will to live?
The octaves will split and she'll claim absence to her name.
The citrine was a gift to light your way, but the pentagram on your chest guides you straight to the graves..
Can you smell the rotting flesh?!
Can you feel my anguish?
This has to be a bad dream.
A sharp inhalation of breath. Mine.
There! Did you hear the snap of a twig?
Wishing you are not on you own? No, I'm fine.
That thrilling nervousness. Presaging excitement.
Is it possible someone is near?
I can't see anything. Only hear.
Where are the others? I don't want to know.
and I knew he knew too.
The grey leaden sky covers the land casting a shadow over this sombre place.
and creek like skeletal limbs askew.
This is the gothic night of the beautiful colour of grey.


Certainly one of essentially the most frequent electrical wiring concerns is on how to wire a swap. When utilizing switches at your home is sort of easy, wiring a person might not be that quick for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is definitely quite simple to wire. You'll find different types of switches, but for this example, let's say you will be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely typical swap (as well as the most basic).
There are a few hues of wires inside a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them about the terminal screws - a single on top rated and the other to the bottom screw with the change. The white wire serves to be a source of uninterrupted electric power and is generally linked to your gentle coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the inexperienced wire to your ground screw of your switch.
These measures would normally be sufficient for making a standard swap do the job with no dilemma. On the other hand, should you will not be confident that you choose to can accomplish the endeavor adequately and safely you better permit the pros do it in its place. Soon after all, there is certainly a reason why this endeavor is probably the most frequent electrical wiring concerns requested by the majority of people.
For many cause, the way to wire a ceiling fan can also be one of essentially the most common electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this process, you can use just one switch for any single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it is really just a matter of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan towards the black wire of the switch. When there is a light, the blue wire ought to be linked towards the black wire on the change in addition.
You will find factors why these are typically one of the most commonly asked electrical wiring concerns. One, many consider it is easy to perform, and two, these are typically the typical electrical duties in your house. But then you definitely should not set your protection at risk with your purpose to economize. The stakes could even be a lot greater if you try to cut costs and do an electrical wiring job without the need of enough awareness or experience.


I bear in mind Sundays and holidays nothing was open merely hospitals police get your stuff on Sat or day before the holiday that is why the family is poor. Don't blame the retailers blame the patrons. They wouldn't open if there wasn't a demand. It will have to be compelled to become a federal law that retail establishments ought to be closed on holidays or the greedy owners of these corporations can still push the envelope and build employees work when they got to be with families. Thanksgiving Day WTF Wine Turkey Family. Once I waitressed in Associate in Nursing passing native structure, had a pastor and his family ar on the market certain dinner. He aforementioned we've an inclination to shouldn't be open on a Sunday since it's our Lord's day. I told him then he'd have to be compelled to cook instead of activity out. end of dialogue.

Wesfarmers will be able to sustain as a corporation through continued financial success and productivity. It is important to address and examine the range of problems which are both significant and contribute to possible financial outcomes. ANZ has been trying to shape its production and performance by restructuring its existing work structure and create balanced and sustainable economy in enhancing future productivity and long term profit. The report has been structured into several forms that provide the CSR report of ANZs framework and performance and Wesfarmers report including the risks and management structure. The report identifies the issue and uses the secondary sources in forming the clear idea about the responsibility and management about the two companies and provide an analysis of the whole study while providing effective suggestions including management approach and performance that will be best applicable in resolving and limiting the issues that Wesfarmers is facing of unable to recycle its waste products.
Corporate social responsibility or CSR is referred to as the corporate notion, corporate citizenship and business responsibility in the form of corporate self-regulation implemented in the structure of a business model. As examined often there are less number of consensuses in defining responsible business methods and process. ANZ The business need to have clear understanding of the several business processes in relation to ethical, social, environmental and community objectives that will help in gaining maximum profit. ANZ attempts to foster social and environmental that will help in attaining sustainability and benefit the long term usage of resources as well as stakeholders (Anon, 2017). The Wesfarmers Limited is one of the supermarkets that branches towards coal and chemical production, safety and industrial products adhering to the emergence of Wesfarmers departmental stores (Wesfarmers.com.au, 2017). Wesfarmers is known for its largest number of employers and shareholders. The diverse business operations of Wesfarmers have been impacting the environment negatively. The CSR report of eth study of ANZ and Wesfarmers will help in the understanding of the current issues such as Wes farmer doesn't recycle their waste and are dumped as garbage causing environmental and economic risks. The report will help in identifying the company's performance against the sustainability and help in providing sustainable and possible solutions of the recognized issues.
The report studies the secondary sources and examines the business operations of ANZ and Wesfarmers and examining the ways the companies can enhance its strength, performance, and limit the impacts of diverse issues generated from external and internal factors. The method applied in gaining qualitative assessment through the study of the secondary sources. The study of the secondary sources will help in reporting the performance identifying the corporate social responsibility and help the shareholders, employees, mangers, management team in identifying the issues and formulate constructive design in limiting the issues. With the help of corporate social responsibility review, ANZ and Wesfarmers sustainability report, and business value report in gaining the appropriate and effective CSR report and analysis.
There are several limitations in regards to the ANZ and Wesfarmers Company such as organizational mismanagement that leads to unemployment, entry of threats and risks and other factors affecting the performance of the company. Often limitations are caused due to mismanagement and misunderstanding between employees and managers. This occurs when the company fails to update its employees with the necessary data and information. Scholars and entrepreneurs have been reviewing the limitations in the companies caused due to multi faceted factors affecting between social and economic performance of Wesfarmers (Lozano, 2015). Often companies fail in understanding to produce policy results against public welfare. Due to the certain disputes and organizational impacts, the Wesfarmers are unable to use environmental beneficiary products that will keep the balance within the eco system. Wesfarmers need to assess the packaging and product that can be recycled. It is important for the corporate decision-makers in looking towards the conflicts emerging due to public and private issues and integrates the understanding of the limitations of CSR (Hahn et al. 2015). This will help the employees and the stakeholders in understanding of the business activity with the broader public interest. Often the people are unable to understand the concept of CSR, it needs to be used as a tool of stakeholder management that will limit and reduce the political impact by dividing the political constituencies and help the people in perceiving ideologies that will shape the employees and stakeholders' perceptions of the relative merits of multiple established competitive approach initiated by the company in regards to ANZ (Jones, Comfort & Hillier, 2014). However, the most important is Wesfarmers inefficiency in not recycling the waste and turning term to garbage.
It is assumed from the finding of the CSR study of ANZ and Wesfarmers is that there have been problem of identifying of the problems that often do not comply with the principles, policy, and concept of the CSR and deteriorates the social and economic doctrine and factors. It is assumed that the Wesfarmers is unable to recycle the wastage due to un-identification of effective strategies. Therefore, the company needs to apply the concept of CSR that will help them in maximizing future profitability.
Wesfarmers Limited is one of the Australian conglomerates that is headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. It manufacture with the specialization in , chemicals, fertilizers, coal mining and industrial and safety products with maximum Australian company by revenue. With its maximum revenue and profit, product quality and performance it has been successfully defeated the major companies like Woolworths and BHP Billiton (Wesfarmers.com.au, 2017). It falls under the industry of conglomerates and product manufacturing. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited referred to as ANZ, is the fourth largest bank in relation to market capitalization in Australia. It has been competing the Commonwealth Bank, Westpac Banking Corporation and National Australia Bank and has been able to raise its opposition to the rising bank (Anon, 2017). The largest part of ANZ's business is the commercial and retail banking dominating. Wesfarmers have been challenged against unable to recycle its products and serving it as wastage affecting the environment while ANZ have been facing impact through the products and services that is provided to the customers.
Wesfarmers have been trying to amend its issues by maintaining workplace and environmental safety and provide opportunities in providing better performance in relation to the reduction of waste. The company have been trying to create work friendly atmosphere without any disparity between gen der and recruits aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples (Wesfarmers.com.au, 2017). Alongside, they have been tried to manage the issues by mutually contributing to in producing in a responsible manner and improve socio-economical as well as environmental practices with the help of shareholders and suppliers. In addition, the company has been committed towards providing their targeted customers with health and safe products resulting in a positive contribution. They have been trying to reduce emissions, reduce waste to landfill and use of high amount of water and improve their resistance in meeting climatic changes (Cheng, Ioannou& Serafeim, 2014). The strengths of Wesfarmers being that they have been dedicated to the community they have been operating for since years playing positive roles in driving sustainability. They have strong bond with the community, society and customers. Wesfarmers have been able to identify its requirement in maintaining economic and social harmony while creating value in the future. However, the weakness being the challenges posed by the climatic change that affects certain production methods with the fall of temperatures. Weather and increase in weather volatility have had negative impact on their supply and distribution chains. Their major weakness is unable to resist such immediate changes causing risks in investments and help in resolving such issues. Therefore, strong management team and training is needed for the company to meet the unnatural changes in retaining significant economic, social and environmental benefits (Zellweger et al. 2013).
According to the sustainability report, ANZ have been able to ensure in managing socio-economic risks that affects the overall operations as well as the targeted customer community. The company will then be benefited following the concept of the CSR in protecting and preserving the customer value and have strong relationships between the shareholders and the investors. In doing so, they need to look out to its weakness that include lack of delivery of business strategy, fulfilling public sustainability targets, risk etc (Lozano, Carpenter & Huisingh, 2015). However, their strength such as effective Risk Management plan have helped the ANZ in examining and reporting their risks and have categories the identification and management of risk under significant committees such as risk committee, environment sustainability committee, audit committee, human resource committee and technological committee (Singh, 2016). Through CSR review ANZ have been able to cover the social, environmental and governmental aspects in relation to the Global Reporting Initiative that is referred to as GRI guidelines that help in fostering business.
Sustainability of ANZ have several difference s that can be easily distinguished to that of Wesfarmers. Both the companies are of different sectors. The Australian division of ANZ deals with the Retail, Corporate and commercial banking and business units while New Zealand deals with the Retail and commercial units. Their services cater towards procuring and delivering shared services and to the targeted customers and determine the regional network and property and strategize the projects across Australia and New Zealand. On the other hand, Wesfarmers manufacturing and resource company have their own marketing, strategy, development and regulations (Zadek, 1998). Such differences have relevant as to their guidelines and objectives are different serving different purpose to their community and customers. ANZ have been investing in the community, making it large, prosper by gaining trust from the community and maintain healthy relations with the shareholder in maintaining social license and meet the community expectations. The differences between both the industries lie in their frameworks such as ratings and recognition, commitment, risk management, customer expectation all that are assessed through the corporate social responsibility report (Hond et al. 2014).
According to Simon Zadek (1997), it is often said that the companies fail to listen and follow its own guidelines. It is important to scrutinize the guidelines of the two companies that are Wesfarmers and ANZ, that have adhered to few such policies among the eight important criteria set by Zadek (1997) in his pat to corporate responsibility. Of the eight criteria's of Zadek in reference to corporate responsibility the most important are organizational learning and societal learning that have witnessed marked differences in both the companies. According to Wes farmers along with meeting the product profit ad high manufacturing demand they have been lacking against organizational and societal learning for creating mass garbage disposal for which in contemporary times that have been highly challenged (Gray et al. 1997). On the other hand, with ANZ the organizational pathways are complex that brings in organizational attacks reducing their reputation, sales productivity and brand name. in order to mitigate the necessary problems, the company has been able to follow the other five criteria as outlined by Zadek that help them in providing value of ongoing reputation and able to litigate the threats and risks.
According to ANZ's sustainability report it is evident that there has been a suitable growth in the field of performance and have expanded as super regional bank in the Asia Pacific region and are trying to fulfil the maximum targets while being consistent to its purpose and objectives. On the other hand, Wesfarmers have been able to reduce the waste and use the maximum plastic packaging and have replaced it with paper packaging that can be reused and recycled while addressing eth needs, concerns, along way meeting the needs of the stakeholders (Crane & Matten, 2016).
Wesfarmers have been criticized for not recycling its waste that increased with seventeen percent. The sustainability report help in studying the Kmart review that reviews the status of waste and contamination and provides a number of ways through which eth company will be able to improve its opportunities. It can be suggested that Wesfarmers can recycle its plastic products, cardboard and reduce the use of polystyrene packaging. The officials of the management team need to take improve and implement optimization program that will help in limiting waste size and for that it is important to train and educate the members of the Wesfarmers about the necessity of recycling.
From the analysis it is understood that there can be three possible implications for CSR research and practice that will foster communication, performance of Wesfarmers. First, it formulates the importance of approaching corporate managers' reviews and feedbacks on CSR in relation to critically examining the economic, political and social dilemmas and factors. Second, the ways it can easily increase its expense through recycling that will adhere to an annual income and profit. Third, the company both ANZ and Wesfarmers need to incorporate CSR practices highlighting and developing the negative social impacts of CSR over the companies.
From the above study, it is understood that ANZ have been trying to apply effective CSR practices in order to provide uncomplicated services while strengthening the business decisions determining the social, economic and social issues. It is important for both the companies in treating their customer's efficiency and with better service and acre. As per the identification of the issues, it is important for both the companies in implementing Responsible Sourcing Program in preparing best action plans and take initiative in implementation of such strategies. As per both the companies they have complied with the sustainability projects and plan and have been committed to the approach towards environmental and societal benefits while assisting their communities within the international and national markets. They have been directing their approaches towards social and environmental reduction programs.

When I was ten I made some calculations and I concluded that I would be too old to enjoy the 21 st Century. I was going to turn the milestone at 40!. When the moment arrived I found myself with surprise plenty of strength to face the new Century. By the way, wasn't so terrible the change, was it? At the end, one day after another, and the life going on like before.
So I'm a citizen of two Centuries. I lived through the Cold War to the fall of the Berlin Wall during the last Century. Then, just at the beginning of this one, 9-11 happened, and our lives changed again. A new kind of war entered the history.
I began my professional career as a journalist with typewriters, pen and paper, and type recorders and now I'm working with computers, tablets and smartphones connected 24/7 if I want. Maybe someone is watching in behalf of National Security, thanks to the new communication technologies (or a hacker is watching with who knows what purposes, by the way). But these same technologies make me able to connect with all of you and so many other people, something I enjoy every day.
We have seen amazing scientific and technical advances, as well as horrendous plagues and disasters in our world.
The poor remain poor, some of the rich are richest.
We are in times of changes with all the unrests around the world, some trying to topple tyrannies, some asking for social justice, some fighting fundamentalism.
But new kind of wars, moments of changes, revolutions had happened before. Is part of the history of the humanity.
This is why I would not go to another moment in human history. This is my age. There are a lot of good things in this world. Above all there are a lot of good people. I have to do whatever is in my hands to make this world better now and here, beginning with what is around me.
Daily Prompt: 21st Century Citizen.
