An Unexpected Benefit Of Buying Wine At Costco
Trong Nguyen/Shutterstock
By Naomi Kennedy/Nov. 27, 2022 3:36 pm EST
It's no secret that Costco is home to some popular products and deals. According to The Ascent, trail mix, coffee, and bacon are some of the best bangs for the buck at the big-box retailer, with the latter ringing in at about $1.25 less per pound than what people might find at the chain's competitors.
Food isn't the only thing folks can save a few dollars on when shopping at the members-only store. It's got deals on alcohol, as well. "While in some cases the pricing is just as competitive, and in others, it's a downright steal, you can't lose buying your booze at Costco," writes Food 52's Katie Workman, who even went as far as to call the grocer a "rockstar" when it comes to adult beverages.
In 2017 Fox News reported that Costco's markups on alcohol were between 10% and 14%, much lower than the 25% to 45% someone might see at the liquor store. And while the availability of spirits at Costco varies depending on location, it has a wide selection of beer, hard seltzers, and wine for shoppers to choose from. In addition to selling a number of notable wine brands, the chain also offers several under its own Kirkland Brand – some of which have been priced as low as $6.99 (via Wine.com). There's even a hidden freebie in Costco's wine section that can help customers save even more in an unexpected way.
Customers can ask for free wine crates
According to The Ascent, the average American Costco shopper typically visits a warehouse once every two weeks and spends roughly $114 per trip. That may not sound like much. However, Costco also has a few tricks up its sleeve to make you spend more money, so in reality, you may actually end up shelling out a lot more when you finally make your way up to the register.
But people probably head to the big-box retailer hoping to score a few good deals, which is why they need to know about the freebie hiding in plain sight amongst Costco's cheap booze. According to Costco Wine Blog, at least some Costco locations allow shoppers to have the wooden crates that their wine bottles are shipped in absolutely free of charge. Make sure to ask an employee first before throwing them into your cart, as one Redditor explained that there's always a possibility the crates may be used for future displays. But judging from what employees reportedly told The Costco Wine Blog, the boxes will generally be free for the taking.
As for how to put free Costco wine crates to use, Slow Wine says they can be transformed into planters, shelving units, or even wall tiles for an at-home bar. Whatever consumers do, one thing that's for sure is that getting a free crate can be a way of saving money, which sounds like a win.

El Salvador launches Chivo wallet as bitcoin becomes legal tender
TheblockcryptoSeptember 16, 2021
El Salvador launched the Chivo wallet today, the same day that a law making bitcoin legal tender in the Central American country went into effect.
Ahead of the occasion, El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele tweeted on Sept. 6 that El Salvador had just purchased 200 additional bitcoins ($10.2 million), bringing its total to 400 overall.
The Chivo wallet (slang for "cool"), will support free transactions in bitcoin and U.S. dollars for individuals and companies.
Mexico-based exchange Bitso will provide the core crypto services for Chivo. Bitso says it is working with California-based Silvergate Bank to facilitate the dollar transactions, and that the app will support automatic liquidation of bitcoin transactions into dollars as well as withdrawals at bitcoin ATMs around the country.
It appears that Chivo could have a broader reach beyond El Salvador, although details are still developing. In an announcement, Bitso also said that people without El Salvadoran citizenship will be able to access the app, and that the wallet supports payments from people and businesses "anywhere in the world."
Bitso, which counts more than 2.75 million users, highlighted the importance of remittances in El Salvador and will be building on its expertise in other markets including Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. According to Bitso, its services have enabled more than $1.2 billion worth of remittances between the U.S. and Mexico in 2020 alone, reducing costs by 50-70% and cutting down on processing times.
"Latin America in general presents great opportunities for products that seek to reduce costs in cross-border payments," Santiago Alvarado, Bitso's Director of Cross-Border Payments told The Block. "The region is home to numerous large migration corridors, and remittance flows to low and middle-income countries in the region represent almost 20% of all remittance flows in the world."
However, many questions remain about how many people in El Salvador will use Chivo, even though those who sign up for the wallet will receive $30 in bitcoin. Some have protested the measure, and Reuters recently reported that most Salvadorans disagree with the new Bitcoin law based on a poll from a local university.

Texas Republicans Are Lying About Voter Fraud to Justify a Massive, Racist Voter Purge

Biden's Justice Department Finally Stands Up to Out-of-Control Texas Judges
Why Alec Baldwin Could Be Found Guilty
The New Kavanaugh Documentary Will Do One Thing. It's Not Enough.
SCOTUS' First Decision of the Term Is a Unanimous Blow to Disabled Veterans
On Jan. 25, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tweeted a "VOTER FRAUD ALERT" that quickly rocketed around the internet. Texas Secretary of State David Whitley, Paxton asserted, had discovered that approximately "95,000 individuals identified" as non-citizens are registered to vote in the state, "58,000 of whom have voted" in Texas elections. Whitley promptly urged counties to begin purging these 95,000 people from their voter rolls, demanding proof of citizenship within 30 days or canceling their registrations. Donald Trump joined the action, tweeting on Jan. 27 that Whitley's numbers "are just the tip of iceberg." Voter fraud, Trump wrote, "is rampant. Must be stopped. Strong voter ID!"
Within days of Paxton's alarming tweet, Whitley had substantially backtracked. The secretary of state quietly informed county officials that a "significant number" of people on the list are actually citizens. Texas Director of Elections Keith Ingram acknowledged that these were "WEAK matches," a "starting point" rather than a definitive list. In Harris County alone, about 18,000 names were removed from the initial list of alleged non-citizens. Some county officials, however, had already begun to notify residents on that first list that they had 30 days to prove their citizenship or lose their ability to vote.
The situation in Texas is a mess. But it is a dangerous mess. Paxton, a notorious foe of voting rights, is creating chaos and confusion in order to justify a radical purge of Texas' voter rolls. As three new lawsuits filed by an array of civil rights groups argue, this purge isn't just slapdash and sloppy—it's discriminatory and illegal. Paxton and his allies are taking a page from Kris Kobach's playbook of shock and awe: Toss out a wildly inflated claim of non-citizen voting, then use the ensuing panic to justify mass disenfranchisement. It is a dirty and duplicitous tactic. And thanks to America's increasingly conservative judiciary, it might actually succeed.
Texas' voter fraud pandemonium is actually a combination of Kobach's two favorite moves: creating dubious lists of allegedly fraudulent voters to disenfranchise, and forcing people to prove citizenship in order to cast a ballot. Whitley's purge list was created using a profoundly flawed method: His office identified individuals who presented documents indicating that they were not citizens when obtaining or renewing driver's licenses, using Department of Public Safety records dating back to 1996. It then cross-referenced this list with voter rolls to come up with the numbers Paxton quoted—95,000 aliens registered to vote, 58,000 of whom have cast a ballot.

This methodology has a massive flaw: More than 50,000 Texas residents are naturalized each year, and when they become citizens, they are not obligated to inform the Department of Public Safety. It is therefore extremely likely that many if not all of the individuals whom Whitley flagged have become U.S. citizens and are perfectly lawful Texas voters. Driver's licenses issued to non-citizens are valid for six years, and over the last six years, nearly 350,000 Texas adults have been naturalized. If even one-third of those adults registered to vote, they could easily account for the total number of "non-citizen" voter registrants on Whitley's list.
Whitley's purge list was created using a profoundly flawed method.
Despite this obvious defect, Whitley has pushed ahead with the purge. Even after warning election officials that the list might be faulty, he has not retracted it, leaving counties to implement a purge known to target naturalized citizens. Even worse, he has pressed ahead with a plan to create a new list of alleged non-citizen voters every month, directing voter registrars to "take action" upon receiving each new batch of names. Election officials will send a single notice to these voters informing them that they are set to be removed from the rolls. If they do not provide a birth certificate, passport, or certificate of naturalization proving U.S. citizenship within 30 days, they will be purged.
Properly understood, then, Paxton and Whitley are not purging non-citizen voters; they are purging naturalized voters who have a fundamental right to participate in elections like any other citizen. Why? One possibility, noted in a lawsuit filed by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund on Saturday, is that 51.7 percent of naturalized U.S. citizens in Texas are Latino, while 28.8 percent are Asian. In the 2018 midterm election, Texas Latinos more than doubled their turnout compared to the 2014 midterms, casting 19.1 percent of all votes. MALDEF argues that the purge "will disproportionately and negatively affect Latinos," since "the Latino population in Texas has a higher ratio of naturalized citizens to native-born citizens."
The MALDEF lawsuit alleges that Texas' actions violate the Equal Protection Clause, which generally prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin, as well as the Voting Rights Act, which bars laws that disproportionately burden ethnic minorities' ability to vote. Both MALDEF and the League of United Latin American Citizens, which filed a similar lawsuit, also allege that Paxton and Whitley are engaging in illegal voter intimidation in violation of the VRA. A third lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, Dēmos, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and the Texas Civil Rights Project raises VRA and equal protection claims as well. It argues that Texas is placing an undue burden on naturalized citizens' constitutional right to vote and infringing on their due process rights. And it asserts that Texas is engaging in intentional racial discrimination in violation of the 14th and 15th amendments.
All three lawsuits were brought on behalf of Texas voters targeted by Whitley's list.
These are powerful arguments backed by substantial evidence of official malfeasance. But the Supreme Court, bolstered by Trump's judicial nominees, have mastered the art of waving away proof of racism to uphold voter suppression laws. (Plus, the court already gutted the Voting Rights Act, whose now-defunct pre-clearance provision could've halted a voter purge like this one.) Just last June, the Supreme Court's conservative majority ignored the obvious discrimination behind Texas' racial gerrymander, writing that courts must "presume" the "good faith" of legislatures. Paxton and Whitley's attack on minority voters is about as blatant as racist disenfranchisement can get in 2019. But there's a depressingly good chance that our Trump-packed courts will pretend to see no evil.

Завършва курса на първоначалното училище в родния си град. Учи в Търновското класно училище и едновременно изучава занаята кундурджийство.

Участие в националноосвободителната борба
След завръщането в Ловеч се включва в борбата за българска църква. Противник е на Ловешкия митрополит Иларион Ловчански. Един от основателите на Ловешкия частен революционен комитет и негов председател. Член на Привременното правителство на ВРО. Деен сътрудник на Васил Левски. Негови прозвища са Каведжия, Марин Кафеджията, Марин Ханджи, Грую.

Арестуван е по делото на Димитър Общи на 28 октомври 1872 г. в Ловеч заедно със сестра си Величка Хашнова и Димитър Пъшков. Следствен и осъден на заточение по Софийското дело срещу ВРО. Престоява в турските затвори от 30 октомври 1872 г. до 6 юли 1876 г. С поръчителство на християнската община в Диарбекир е на облекчен режим по време на заточението. Успява да избяга със съдействието на местни кюрди заедно с Димитър Пъшков и Георги Минчев на 6 юли 1876 г. Установява се в Букурещ, Румъния.

В свободна България

Завръща се в Ловеч след второто му освобождение от руските войски (22 август 1878). Избран е за член на Ловешкото окръжно управление (1878). Участва в приемането на Търновската конституция от Учредителното събрание като народен представител от Ловеч (1879).

През октомври 1878 г. се жени за търновката Савина Момчилова. От брака си има 4 деца: Лукан (1879), Мария (1881), Стефан (1883) и Иванка (1886).

Работи като финансов нагледник на Министерството на финансите в Ловеч (1885 – 1887). Ловешки окръжен управител (1890 – 1894). Деен член на Народнолибералната партия (стамболовисти). Отказва предложението на Стефан Стамболов да се пресели в София и активно участва в управлението на град Ловеч: общински съветник (1877 – 1878), помощник-кмет (1884 – 1885) и кмет на Ловеч (1883 – 1884, 1887 – 1890). Като кмет на града допринася за построяване на окръжната палата, големия каменен мост, пътища, шосета, мостове, чешми и "Новото" училище. Прочиства околностите от върлуващи след освобождението разбойнически банди.

След падането на Стефан Стамболов (1894) подава оставка като окръжен управител на Ловеч и се оттегля от политическия живот. Издържа семейството си с малка пенсия и дребно земеделие.

При копане на основи за къща на улица "Марин Поплуканов" № 17 срещу сградата на Музей Васил Левски (Ловеч) са открити 1364 златни монети (1973). Предполага се, че са същите комитетски пари от обира в Арабаконак, които са съхранени и са стояли непипнати почти 100 години.

Улица в Ловеч е наименувана "Марин Поплуканов".

How does Harry Potter save himself from the dementors?
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry is attacked by a swarm of Dementors and as his soul is being sucked out he is saved by what he thinks is his Father. He later learns that it is himself performing the Patronus charm.
If he died in the first timeline however, how can he be alive in order to 'go back' in time to save himself from that event?

Harry's soul and is not sucked out. Sirius's soul is sucked. Harry just fell unconscious. – Nog Shine Aug 23 '17 at 5:40
Indeed. Nothing in the movie indicates that Harry's soul is sucked out or that he's even close to being dead (see here). The dementors are only sucking out his happiness at that point, like they do to every person, because they feed off it. – Walt Aug 23 '17 at 7:39
The dementors are not sucking out peoples happiness they are actually sucking out your soul and they are controlled by the ministry of magic. The point of dementors is so then they can remove memory of that person and they forget what they saw, and it can also lead to death. – natural Aug 23 '17 at 8:18
Sorry, I don't know where you're getting this information from. Dementors do feed on positive energy, that's basically their food. The Dementor's Kiss that sucks out your soul is different from that and only performed when someone is basically sentenced to death. And AFAIK they don't make people forget what they saw (though de-souled people are basically catatonic, if that's what you meant). – Walt Aug 23 '17 at 8:42
There is no "first timeline"; there's only one timeline, in which Harry has always saved himself from the Dementors.
"I knew I could do it this time," said Harry, "because I'd already done it. . . . Does that make sense?"
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, chapter 21: "Hermione's Secret"
Different writers have different ideas of how time-travel works and how it influences the past or the future. Some of these ideas are of changing timelines and alternate futures, shifting from one into another. The most notable example of these is probably Back to the Future, where changes in the past ripple slowly into the future. People can go back in time to change the past, then witness how these changes affect the future.
In the case of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban however, there is a stable timeline that happens to be folded back on itself. The timeline "just is".
There is a loop, but the loop has always been and will always be there. Harry couldn't have decided to do anything differently the second time. The grandfather paradox does not exist in a universe such as this; because no-one has murdered your grandfather before your father was conceived, no-one ever will. This is known as the Novikov self-consistency principle.
Another example of this principle is found in The Terminator, where Kyle Reese has always gone and will always go back in time to impregnate Sarah Connor with John. Note that the sequels in the Terminator franchise muddy the waters and introduce changing timelines and paradoxes, but the first film is consistent.
For a more complicated example, try the stories by Rovert A. Heinlein "By His Bootstraps" and "'—All You Zombies—'", the latter of which was adapted into the movie Predestination.
SQBSQB
True, it's a closed loop, but it seems this entire question is just based on the misconception that the dementors killed Harry, where he was in fact very much alive and still ensouled (he just passed out, like he did on the train). – Walt Aug 23 '17 at 9:01
@Walt well, what I read in the question is that there supposedly was a timeline in which Harry was killed by the Dementors and that that timeline was altered by his future self. Also, as can be read in the book, the Dementors were on the verge of killing Harry as well. – SQB Aug 23 '17 at 9:50
I don't think I'll be able to explain the theory of time travel in my answer but it all comes down to Temporal Paradox
Time travel creates a timeline which doesn't have a starting or an ending point (closed loop) which means that had the time turner not been present, Harry would have died.
The cause and effect are both dependent on each other. So, Harry never dies. It's the Harry present in the parallel timeline who produces the Patronus to save himself.
Shreyas TripathyShreyas Tripathy
The future Hermione drew Lupin away from the present Harry and Hermione. It is unlikely that Harry would have made it to Sirius in time after dealing with Lupin. Thus Harry is only near Sirus because Harry and Hermione had time traveled.

Cover never applies a penalty to hit; it provides a bonus to Armor Class... And soft cover is not restricted only to when the target is in melee combat; that's the "firing into melee" -4 penalty. Firing into melee past soft cover gives the target a +4 AC bonus and applies a -4 penalty on the attack roll.
Strictly speaking, a bonus to Armor Class is a penalty to hit. I never understood why they did that, made two different kinds of modifiers. It has the same game effect (a lessened chance to hit). Is there a situation where a character's AC is important that doesn't involve a roll to-hit?
sorry, the post was missing a "there is the -4 to hit". however i thought the soft cover was only +2 AC? i guess i was wrong?
Soft cover is +4 AC, like any other form of (non-total) cover.
Total cover completely prevents direct attacks, and thus doesn't grant an AC bonus.
In any case, cover always grants at least a +4.

THE HAPPIEST OF TIMES | jeni a.
We had a good time at home. A really, really good time.
We spent the evenings out back because we could. Summer is oh so close!
Kimberlee is a super busy wonder woman/graduating senior/student body officer, so the evening that we had her all to ourselves was heavenly.
Dad A. joined us for another good round of tennis at the beloved courts.
We stopped in at the Institute to visit Dad G. and Mother Susie. Mom is the secretary over there, and Dad's stake president office is right above her, so those two are rarely out of each other's sight (such lucky married folk - I'd die to be with Ryan all day)!
"Ich liebe dich" to dad from my missionary brother, Nick. That love line Nick dropped on the board hasn't been touched since January 2011, and if I were a betting woman, I'd wager it will stay there until Dad is released as stake president...it is that loved.
More grandpa-baby loves via these two, Grandpa A. + Olivia!
Uncle Jason was honored for earning the eagle scout award, and man, that's a big deal! Watching the review of his scouting experiences and receiving his award was inspiring. Made me want to raise a whole troop of fine looking boys like these three, boys that are trustworthy, brave, thrifty, and cheerful. Go Jason!
Then Uncle Isaac (he's holding the poster with two hands) had his special event - he was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What a day! I felt a distinct peace and happiness as I watched Isaac take this step. My favorite part was the confirmation because I know what Isaac's in for...having the Holy Ghost as a guide changes everything everything everything about life for the better.
We played with Luke in the afternoons - thanks, kindergarten, for ending early in the day.
We spent some quality time with my angel Grandparents, and love via Grandpa G. + Olivia happened again!
And one last cheer for Kimbee...I love her so! Can't believe she's graduating. So happy she'll be joining us (we expect to see her daily, right Kimbee?). Provoland does not know what it's in for.
Our time at home convinced me yet again that love is what you go through together.
Why? Because I love my families - I adore them! - because I've been through a lot with the ever-growing, handful of people that I call "mine."
I also re-learned that real happiness is everything family. Celebrating, working, playing, even just eating with mothers, brothers, fathers, and sisters brings true joy. Things and titles and toys are nice, but they can't keep the heart full. But relationships, families - they can.

SRI LANKA: Horrible military crimes at Rathupaswala necessitate the arrest of the commanding officers
A Statement by the Asian Human Rights Commission
The horrible military killings at Ratupaswala are nothing but mean and horrible killings. Nothing in the military terminology or strategic manuals could ever justify the horrible acts that happened at Rathupaswala. If there is some decency left in the military establishment in Sri Lanka, the first step that should be taken is to arrest the commanding officers who were in charge of these brutal acts of murder and the assaults committed at Rathupaswala.
Nothing less than the immediate arrest of the commanding officers would demonstrate that there is any sanity left in the military system in Sri Lanka. If the President, as the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, fails to have these officers arrested and brought before Court Martial for the horrible killings, he himself would be conniving with those who committed these horrible acts.
The people in the villages in Weliweriya are justifiably angry. The vast number of people that attended the funerals of the people who were brutally killed by the military itself shows how angry these people are. What answer has the government to all these people, as well as to all the people of Sri Lanka, who have seen this unspeakably low behavior of the military officers?
It is perhaps irrelevant to go into the history of the issue relating to the water contamination at this moment. Suffice it to say that people denied of water would rise in revolt anywhere in the world, for water and food are the stuff that people need in order to live. When the water they drink and use for other purposes is contaminated, people's protests and even blocking roads in order to get attention are fully justified. The government should have acted long before people came to the road; they should have intervened and given people alternate ways to get water before anything else. A government that is not even able to provide drinking water cannot complain about people resorting to protest actions in order to get attention to the most basic of their needs.
However, the immediate issue is the behavior of Sri Lanka's military under the command of some senior officers, who were sent to the spot to keep peace. What they in fact did is to behave worse than the worst of criminals. The price for their criminal behavior has been paid for by two school children and some others. The kind of injuries on the people who were assaulted by the military show the activity of madmen and not of any disciplined military.
The issue is as to how the Commander in Chief will respond. Will he not immediately arrest the commanding officers? Will he not demand that the commanding officers reveal all the details relating to the shooting? Who did the shootings that led to these deaths? How much ammunition has been issued and how much has been used? Anyone familiar with the military procedure that should have been observed can raise these questions. The question that the Commander in Chief should answer is whether all the soldiers who took part in this horrible crime should be not dismissed forthwith by the military. These are questions that should be answered first.
The question of justice needs to follow. However, any kind of 'justice' would be looked at with complete mistrust, and that would be quite justified if the Commander in Chief does not immediately arrest the commanding officers and take steps to bring them under court martial, together with the officers who did the shooting and other acts of violence at Rathupaswala

Today is Good Friday and another week is in the books. I hope you're ready for the Easter weekend. We're once again joining our friends, Rosy and her brothers from LLB in Our Backyard for this week's Nature Friday Blog Hop, Good Friday edition. Today we're gonna take a look at Mother Nature's flowering trees that are starting to enter into the spring landscape. Ornamental pears have begun to blossom and when we see these around the 303, we know spring has definitely sprung (yes, I do realize that there is still good chance for a snow shower or two over the next few weeks but I'm too busy enjoying spring to worry about it now).
Ornamental pear trees (known as Bradford Pears) have been planted all over the urban Denver landscape. Known for its conical shape and showy blossoms, they are taking front and center stage now. My two assistants graciously agreed to pose near a band of them lined up along the parking strip between street and sidewalk (for Elsa, it was a sit/stay training moment and she passed…we like to multitask on our walks).
A closeup shows clusters of pinkish centers amid white blossoms. When I was researching these trees, I was shocked to learn many people are not fans, in fact, many have called for their removal as a menace to modern landscaping. They cite invasiveness and lack of biodiversity as well as structural issues since their branches tend to split when the trees are anywhere from 15-20 years old. In the early 1900's, Frank Meyer, a plant explorer from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture went to China to find the most disease-resistant strain which could be grafted to existing pear trees. Good Ole Frank found what he thought would be a good variety and brought back 100 pounds of seed and, for a while, it worked like a charm. The trees will grow in nearly any soil, mature quickly and bloom early in spring with bright orange foliage in autumn. They are one of the first blooming trees in spring and the last to drop their pretty leaves in autumn. Landscape architects thought they'd found the perfect tree. It soon became the most widely planted tree in the U.S. By the 1990's however, landscapers discovered the ugly side to these pretty additions to suburbs and office parks. While these trees' symmetrical structure is attractive, it leads to what's known as "weak crotches" (all limbs branch out from the trunk). This weakness often causes them to split apart. Additionally, storms contribute to extensive splitting damage. Over the past several years in my own neighborhood, storms have decimated many of the trees (including the two across the street leaving them badly deformed and misshapen). The owner can't bear to cut them down and continues to try to save them. Bradford pears don't self pollinate, but cross-pollination can occur with the other strains of ornamental pears resulting in problematic hybrids.
The introduction of these trees underscores the fact that too often there are unintended consequences requiring contemplation before moving ahead. Remember, it's not nice to fool Mother Nature.
And because they have been as spectacular as I've ever seen, here are more tulips from around the neighborhood with apologies to my Instagram followers who are probably sick of seeing tulip after tulip on my feed. My own tulips are taking their own sweet time (in their defense, that happens when they aren't bathed in sunlight the livelong day). They give a real Keukenhof Gardens feel even if I'm thousands of miles from Lisse, Netherlands.
Hope you are able to enjoy the lovely renditions of Mother Nature and have a wonderful and joyous Easter weekend.
A couple of weeks ago Dogtor Sam and I did our regular monthly stint at hospital and hospice. But there was nothing 'regular' about them. All our visits are special in my mind, but these were extra special and, I'd like to think, we made more than a few peeps feel just a bit better.
Just as we were about to go to hospice, a tall, thin fella who seemed somewhat frantic come up to us and wondered if we would take the time to visit his daughter who had not seen a pet visit while she'd been in the Neuro-Critical Care ward. Not going to this area very often, I was more than happy to swing by after our assigned floor was completed (we were way-laid several times by other requests). We headed over to NCC and arrived at a room where a pale young women weakly smiled when I knocked on her door. I mentioned her dad had asked us to drop by and she said she'd love a visit. Sam knew exactly what to do. Patient "Kristy" clearly had a lot of recovery ahead of her, but her face lit up when she saw him. She and her visitor squealed out loud when she saw Sam. I knew he was probably tuckered out, but this boy knows what to do and does it. I wish I were as good as he is at the end of long visits, having people pawing at you, hugging on you and just generally being 110% "on" for hours. "Kristy" was clearly tired but enjoyed an abbreviated visit. Leaving the hospital, we then headed over to hospice.
While we made the rounds visiting with a new hospice doctor, all the nurses and a few visitors, we ended up spending a lot of time with a fairly young-looking woman and her daughter at hospice. It was almost an afterthought visit, as we'd seen so many people, Sam was petty tired and their room was full of family members paying their respects. In those circumstances, I don't generally intrude, especially when the end is so close (according to the nurse), but when "Kate" came out into the hallway and said how much she could really benefit from a visit, how could we refuse? "Of course," I replied, "we'd be more than happy to spend some time with you." She indicated the patient was her husband, which totally surprised me since I erroneously thought the man in the bed was her father. A daughter came out and we all convened in the middle of the hallway. Sam seemed refreshed and eager to check them out and when the woman knelt down in front of him, he patiently gazed as deeply into her eyes as I've ever seen. She teared up and said how much she needed him that moment. I just smiled not knowing if there's something I should say, or even what to say.
The thing is, Sam knew exactly how to bring a smile to her face. She teared up, her daughter also smiled and they both thanked us repeatedly. Sam wagged his tail in reply.
When we visit with peeps, especially those far too young to be at hospice, it's sometimes hard to know what to say to comfort them. Especially when the end is so close or unexpected. Thankfully, Sam knows exactly what to do and takes over. A well-timed tail wag, a soulful look, and he provides oodles of poodles of comfort. This guy knows exactly what people need and delivers it with no coaching from me. I stand there like a lump, my mind racing as to what I can do to provide loving comfort as the patient transitions on to the next life.
The following day at West Pines had more impactful visits. Sam really connects well with the patients who are in recovery, and seamlessly manages to bring relief to the staff as well. This knuckleheaded dog has such compassion for hurting patients and staff. As we were preparing to sign out, a staff person came by and asked if she could have a minute with Sam. Attentive and accommodating as always, he obliged. She lingered on the floor with Sam, saying it had been a really rough day, but to spend some time AND receive a kiss from him, made all the difference in her day, not to mention mine. This dog makes my heart swell. We're going back next week and look forward to more rewarding encounters.
Then there's the dwarf Lannister who has entertained us over the years and reminded us that true to his family motto, "always paid his debts." Couldn't help but chuckle with this pun which has been floating around social media lately. Elsa was quite willing to 'pass along' her updated version of the PSA to start out the week.
We hope you had a lovely weekend and that this smile is the beginning of a terrific week, culminating with the season premiere. Let's hope the final season satisfies 'The Pack Survives' needs.
Holy cow, it's April…how did that happen? April is the pretty month, sweet and full of springtime promises. Today also happens to be my baby sister's birthday so I'm sending her oodles of poodles of digital birthday greetings. Happy birthday, sweet sis! Can't wait to give her birthday hugs in person later this month.
The Knuckleheads celebrated her birthday over the weekend with Elsa making confetti for the occasion.
We hope you had a wonderful weekend and today offers a fresh new slate for exciting adventures this week. No doubt these two are planning more 'pawsome' fun. I can hardly wait.
So…you know I had to get a bath and groom in order to dogtor this week. Sam here. Look what happened after mom trimmed my toes, nose and tail area. What the dog?! Seems there's a Mini-Sam now but he seems more flexible than me. Mom even made him his own bandana. Maybe he'll be less pesky than my Ninja sister.
Funny thing about Elsa on these days when I get a bath or groomed. She now goes MIA, the traitor. Used to be she would at keep me company when the water torture began and I used to think she would watch protect me. Now she leaves skid marks to avoid even being remotely close to me. Maybe she thinks it's contagious. Don't tell Elsa but I overheared mom mutter something about Elsa needing a clean up once she recovers from doing me.
Oops, gotta run get floofed up again after the water torture. Sigh. Today we're visiting West Pines. That always makes me tail wagging happy to see the peeps there.
For the next couple of days, we'll be dogtoring at hospital, hospice and West Pines but first I have to practice my skills on the Ninja. After yesterday's squirrel roundup, I think her blood pressure is a bit on the high side. I know mom's was.
We probably won't be able to respond as much as we'd like over the next few days, we will try to do our best. Thank you for all your kind comments regarding yesterday's crazy goings on. PayPal is taking its sweet time responding to us. Mom topped off the day with a trip to the dentist to replace a crown that fell out over the weekend. Does she know how to live or what? Worse than that, I had to endure the dreaded water torture for today's hospital rounds. Luckily I get over it when kind peeps say I'm handsome.
On a serious note, today is Purple Day, the international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26th annually, people from around the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness. It is estimated that as many as 50 million peeps and 4% of dogs have epilepsy. By bringing awareness to this disease, those who participate with Purple Day events hope to bring much-needed info to those who desperately need it. There are many groups who can help with informational resources, like the Wally Foundation. Our good friend Olivia, from Knotty Toys for Good Dogs hosted a "silent" Auction for The Wally Foundation- canine epilepsy We hope you'll check it out and support Olivia's efforts to benefit The Wally Foundation. So get out there and rock your purple today, I know I will.
How was your St. Patrick's Day weekend?
Hello sports fans, it's moi, Elsa. Mom said if behaved myself and didn't get too rowdy, I could join the fun with our friends, Rosy and her brothers from LLB in Our Backyard for this week's edition of the Nature Friday Blog Hop.
Well all I can say about Nature this week is…what the dog?! We experienced it all this week-warm/cold/wet/dry/grey/sunny…and that's unlikely to change any time soon. Wednesday there was a slushy snow/freezing rain that fell on top of the 4″ of snow that fell earlier. By Thursday probably 80% of it had melted except for northern exposures. Then there are humans who try to influence nature by changing time, which happens this weekend. Yup, the dreaded Daylight Savings Time switch arrives early on Sunday in the US. On the surface, it seems like a good idea…dinner arrives an hour early…color us dogs happy! But then there'll be an hour less of sleep which will make for crabbish sleepy huMoms and one hour less of any potential Spring. Messing with time seems like hoping a Vegas casino croupier will be your friend when he smiles and says, "Go ahead, roll the dice, hit me, or place your bets," but we know how that often ends up where spring is concerned. When you play Blackjack-Spring edition, shouldn't you actually win once in a while?
More than likely, nature will deal these guys instead of the Spring we'd like.
When we went out for our walk, we saw more signs that Spring might be in the air but I'm not holding my dog breath. When we got home, mom looked at the calendar that saw that the dreaded time gyp arrives and then groaned. We all know mom groans are never a good sound.
The reticulated irises and crocuses mom shared managed to survive the snow fairly well. Talk about hardy little devils. They must be Ninjas in the bulb world.
More than likely I'll end up being up to my elbows in white stuff soon since March is our snowiest month of the year. But it's not all bad, snow is fun mom, trust me.
So what's your bet? Aces or jokers? Either way, don't forget to 'spring' forward. Whichever way the cards are dealt, we hope there's a full house or three of a kind for weekend fun, even if it will be an hour short.
Normally we don't post on weekends, but we didn't want to miss an opportunity to join the blog hop celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday hosted by our fur-iends Chimera ❤Jakey ❤ Molly. You can click on the links for other Dr. Seuss blog fun.
March 2 is National Read Across America Day, where we celebrate one of our most favorite activities, reading. Created by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1998 as a way to encourage children to get excited about reading and it occurs every year on Dr. Seuss' birthday. We think the perfect way to celebrate is to don a Dr. Seuss hat like Sam and read any one of his famous stories, like the 2015 bestseller, "What Pet Should I Get." Today students, teachers, parents, and community members around the country will come together to read books and celebrate the joy of reading.
The best news about Dr. Seuss is there will be a new book coming out later this year (September 2019), 28 years after the author's death, according to a press release from the publisher. The new book is about a friendly horse who takes a group of students on a tour of an art museum. Artists and non-artists will appreciate the timeless theme that "there is no one right way to interpret the beauty we encounter every day," as indicated in the press release.
By now you know who won at last night's Oscar ceremonies. Sam here. Naturally Elsa and I walked the Red Carpet, paw in paw. I couldn't decide if I should go understated but dashing like Bradley Cooper with a silk bow tie or something more…ahem, 'eye-catching' like Spike Lee and ended up wearing a flowing red scarf with a new trendy pair of Warby Parker glasses. Elsa was breathtakingly gorgeous in a pink silk off the shoulder printed scarf. She was so nervous that she thought she might pee on the carpet but I said, I'll be here for ya, kid. We just got to our seats in time (with no accidents, I might add) for some of the lesser known categories that aren't broadcast on TV. And guess what…I actually WON! I was nervous speaking to so many people, but then my professional therapy training kicked in and I was able to deliver a heartfelt and surprisingly 'emotional' acceptance speech. What do you think?
We hope your favorite nominee won last night. Happy Monday to all the winners.

This is the last column to run before Thanksgiving, so I want to talk to you about gratitude. I could write a dozen columns about gratitude in various forms; for this column, I'm going to focus on one simple tool: the gratitude list.
When you find yourself feeling particularly ungrateful about your life — or your spiritual director or friend points out to you that you are — you can stop and remind yourself of all the things for which you can be grateful.
There are some obvious things. You often hear people say, "at least I've got my health." That might sound trite, but if you have ever experienced a serious loss of your own good health and then gotten it back, or if you or to someone close to you is deprived permanently of good health, you will know that good health is a great blessing. Another common item is family — partners, parents, children: whoever loves you unconditionally and gives you sustenance and support.
It's not about seeing our world's cup as half full rather than half empty. Because the truth is everyone, and I mean everyone, has things they can be grateful for and things they can be ungrateful for. It's about paying attention to the part that's full. Who cares about what you don't have? Seriously. Think about that for a moment.
Focusing on what we don't have, on expectations of things that have not materialized for us, only leads to anxiety and self-pity. I'm not saying there is no place for wanting to create a more abundant life, but that's not the way. Paradoxically — as are most great spiritual principles — it is by being content with what we have that we are open to seeing clearly what is around us, and seeing new opportunities.

Cargill, Vattenfall, and Windpark Hanze to Build Wind Farm
03 Dec 2021	by Energy Global
Cargill and Vattenfall partner with Windpark Hanze in the Netherlands, who will build a wind farm that is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 350 000 tpy, which is equivalent to providing electricity for more than 95 000 homes in the Netherlands per year once construction is complete.
The onshore wind farm, consisting of 15 wind turbines, will be commissioned in the Flevoland province near the city of Dronten. It will have a total installed capacity of 90 MW and will go into full commercial operation in 2023. Windpark Hanze has recently achieved financial close and civil works have already commenced.
Vattenfall will offtake the output of 78 MW from the planned onshore wind farm under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and Cargill will offtake 2.9 TWh from Vattenfall under a 10-year Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA). As a result, the renewable energy generated from 13 of the wind farm's wind turbines will power more than 90% of Cargill's grid based electrical consumption in the Netherlands.
"At Cargill, sustainability is a top priority, and through renewable energy projects like this unique partnership with Vattenfall and Windpark Hanze we continue to weave it into our global operations," says Michiel Smets, EMEA Electricity lead at Cargill. "This CPPA nearly eliminates the Scope 2 emissions from Cargill's operations in the Netherlands and is a major step to-wards Cargill's commitment to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions in its operations by 10% by 2025, against a 2017 baseline."
The 10-year CPPA is Cargill's largest physical renewable power purchase signed globally and the first Cargill has signed in Europe.
"Vattenfall is strongly committed to keep global warming limited to 1.5°C and recently increased its emission reduction targets, said Martijn Hagens, CEO Vattenfall Netherlands. "The climate crisis is real, and we are striving to becoming a leader in this urgent transition. Partnering with Cargill and Windpark Hanze will not only help to decarbonise the Dutch industrial sector but will also support the buildout of renewable capacity, further increasing the share of green electricity in the Dutch energy mix. Partnerships like these accelerate the energy transition and bring closer our mission of making fossil-free living possible," he continues.
"This unique project is made possible thanks to a consortium of 26 farmer families committed to the construction of 15 wind turbines on their land," said Gerrit de Regt, director Windpark Hanze. "As the original stewards of the land, farmers deeply understand the need to take care of it and other natural resources while securing a future for our companies and future generations. Windpark Hanze is very proud that the sustainable energy produced is going to be supplied to Cargill, a family-owned company with such strong ties to the agricultural sector," he continues.

Oil stocks get a boost from crude
Published: May 16, 2006 at 5:20 p.m. ET
Jim Jelter
LUKOY
XOM
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Oil stocks ticked higher Tuesday, getting a lift from crude oil prices as they snapped back from a steep two-day slump.
Oil services and natural gas companies sat out the rally, however, finishing the session in negative territory after surrendering gains made shortly after the open.
The Amex Oil Index $XOI ended the day 0.4% higher at 1,106.78 points. The Amex Natural Gas Index $XNG closed 0.3% lower at 408.04 points and the Philadelphia Oil Service Index OSX, +3.82% finished 0.3% lower at 214.61 points.
The market was whipsawed by crude prices, which sent a bullish buy signal early in the day as the June futures contract soared back above $70 a barrel, only to fall back late to close at $69.53, a gain of 12 cents. See Futures Movers.
Marathon Oil Corp. MRO, +4.85% led the charge in the oil group, up nearly 2% at $76.72.
Marathon announced late Monday the sale of its West Siberian oil fields to Russia's OAO Lukoil LUKOY, -0.29% for $787 million in a deal the company expects to close in July. The acreage is currently producing about 30,000 barrels a day. See full story.
ConocoPhillips shares COP, +3.73% were also posting strong gains, up nearly 1.8% at $64.64 a share.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway holding company added ConocoPhillips to its portfolio last quarter. According to an SEC filing disclosed on Monday, Berkshire snapped up 17.9 million shares worth of ConocoPhillips stock.
Occidental Petroleum Corp. OXY, +3.98% retreated 2.2% to $96.97 a share. The company reported late Monday that Ecuador, after a two-year dispute, terminated its operating contract on Block 15. The field accounted for 7% of Occidental's worldwide production in the first quarter. See full story.
Occidental said it was weighing all legal options to keep its operating interest in Ecuador, including testing the government's ruling before an international court. Meanwhile, the company said it plans to continue operating the Block 15 field, which is flowing a total of about 100,000 barrels of oil a day.
Exxon Mobil XOM, +1.76% reported its Nigerian exploration unit had stuck a 100-feet-thick column of crude oil on the first well it drilled on the Uge deepwater tract off Nigeria. Exxon Mobil has a 20% stake in the field, as do units of ConocoPhillips, Chevron Corp. CVX, +1.70%, and Occidental. The remaining 20% of the field is in Nigerian hands.
Exxon Mobil closed Tuesday with a 4-cent loss at $61.96.
NEW YORK (TradingEducation) -- Gold is a portable store of wealth. As such, demand for gold and the price of gold rise in time of war, fear of war, fear of confiscation, and flight to safety. For most of recorded history, gold has been dormant except for such times of fear.

thx chris and for your piece in the Echo.
different position morale wise and struggling to survive.
on our way to paying for this, if it would then count me in.
A great gesture Expat and one which I feel sure myself and other board members would match. The big problem as I see it is I that just to open a Stadium as big as Dean Court would entail lots of expense which is geared to a 4,000 plus crowd and I dont know whether our 400?? would make such fixed costs viable. That's assuming they want us in the first place!
the previous groundshare was when we were on the crest of a wave genuinely believing we had the support of PBC re the move to a new ground with everything moving sweetly towards that-its a long story but the rug was pulled unexpectedly to leave us with a superb side expensively assembled at the top of the southern league with no home!!
Might frame it, a rare thing, a posting on that site!! They obviously think the tax man is not coming back for the alleged debt then.
you all better read and digest the Echo article today .
A lot can happen yet. HMRC will be back.
get promoted we would as sure as heck find it.
Expat there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes by our club, so think positive Also, our neighbours finances are not exactly great ,and, they owe HMRC something in the region of £76K, I am led to believe. Which would need Guiness book of records fundraising abilities or a Lottery win.
Whatever happens regarding promotion from the Wessex League this season, one thing is certain and that is that Poole Town's rightful place is in the Southern League and they'll be there within the next few years.
Whether it's Poole or Wimborne that make it into the Southern League first, you can be sure that they'll be desperate for the other club to join them as soon as possible and it's not unrealistic to look forward to the two clubs playing each other in the Southern Premier in front of 1,000 fans within the next four years.
Totally agree. Whoever was running the books up the hill certainly needs a "carrer brief" from the fans, nothing can be worth risking the future of a club for. Can only be good for football in the area for all the clubs to do well.
some will find more,others less.
reach it somehow...however we are not going to be challenged!!
It would be fantastic if on the 24/4 the title rested on that match as I am sure the Wessex League crowd record would be broken.
Recognise any that fit the situation?
Get real. We'll be out of sight by then.
You know that if you do go up, it'll only be as second best.
one sings the "Goodbye" sing on the 24th!!
......and to Sterte "a lot going on behind the scenes"
The Union creed is 'An informed membership is a Strong membership"
We are all keeping very close ranks here so "Keep us informed"
Expat, union membership is a non-starter in my line of work You'll just have to trust what the board are trying to achieve, not their style to talk about things until the timing is right or the deal is done.
This is for info and comments and corrections are both requested and welcomed.
"Clubs should be aware that they will have to achieve Grade D no later than March 31st following promotion to Step 4. It may prove more cost effective to include these additional requirements in any ground development programme for the E Grade."
So even if Tatnam could be squeezed into a Grade E rating within the next two weeks, we would only have one year to upgrade to the next level Grade D (I have not checked the consequences of failing this test).
So Tatnam cannot be the future (I know that this is stating the obvious).
With regards to Ground shares, I think I also saw a regulation somewhere that said they could not be undertaken purely as an aid to promotion.
I take that to mean any ground share that we enter into now would not count toward promotion for this year, but would help next year IF we won promotion.
Ground sharing is permitted by the FA but each league has its own rules. The Southern Football League (Zamaretto League) does not publish its regulations so I cannot comment definitively.
What does this mean for Canford Arena? Well we would need it completed by March 31st 2011 even if the BOD managed to squeeze Tatnam through an E grading, and it would have to be built to meet the criteria of D Grading.
If you don't volunteer, You cannot complain!

AMH is a hormone made by the small follicles in the ovary which have not yet begun to develop into mature eggs or ovum. These early developing follicles are called antral and pre-antral follicles. As the number of these early follicles falls over time, the level of AMH made also decreases.

Low AMH indicates a reduced ovarian reserve, i.e., a decreased level of fertility.
AMH can provide you with valuable knowledge.
AMH can be used prior to fertility treatments to help plan management.
• Low AMH indicates a reduced ovarian reserve, i.e., a decreased level of fertility.
• AMH can provide you with valuable knowledge.
• AMH can be used prior to fertility treatments to help plan management.
Ovarian reserve is a term used to describe the number of good quality eggs a woman has in her ovaries. Women are born with about 1 million eggs. Normally there is a slow decline in the number of viable eggs in the ovaries over time, however, a small number of women have a faster rate of egg loss. These women can have very reduced numbers of viable eggs and poor ovarian reserve even in their thirties. This results in the woman being less fertile.
Who is likely to have reduced ovarian reserve?
The majority of women who have reduced ovarian reserve have NO predisposing risk factors. Often their FSH (w) level can also appear to be normal. This is why measuring AMH can be very helpful in identifying these women.
Why is AMH helpful for women planning a family?
Women who are considering the timing of possible pregnancy may benefit from having their AMH level tested. The finding of a lower than expected level may prompt trying for a baby sooner rather than later. One of the results of less ovarian reserve is reduced fertility. Fewer viable eggs reduce the chance of successful ovulation and pregnancy.
To improve a woman's chance of a successful pregnancy, it is important to identify reduced ovarian reserve early so that further help can be offered if needed.
What happens if reduced ovarian reserve is diagnosed?
If reduced ovarian reserve is diagnosed, we recommend that you speak about the results with your medical practitioner.
No treatments are currently available that help new eggs to grow, however, IVF stimulation treatments may be available to help with remaining eggs.
Will I receive a bill from this test?
This test is complex to perform and the result is reported on by a specialist pathologist.
It is not yet covered by Medicare and there is an out-of-pocket cost for this test.
As this article contains only general information, professional advice from your medical practitioner should be sought before applying this information to particular circumstances.


The eight and a half foot tall bronze statue was sculpted by John Massey Rhind, who created a number of statues at Gettysburg. It stands on a ten foot granite base. An inscribed metal tablet is on the front of the monument above the crescent moon symbol of the Eleventh Corps. The monument was dedicated by the State of New York on June 6, 1922.
at Gettysburg July 1, 1863.
honorably mustered out August 5, 1861.
Lieut.-Colonel Sixty-First New York Infantry November 9, 1861; Colonel April 14, 1862; Brigadier-General U.S. Vols. Sept. 19, 1862; Major-General U.S. Vols. May 26, 1865. Resigned November 16, 1865.
Commanding Sixty-First New York Infantry at Yorktown, Fair Oaks and the Seven Days Battles; Sixty-First and Sixty-Fourth at Antietam; Second Brigade, Second Division, Howard's Corps at Chancellorsville; First Division, Hancock's Corps, at the WiIderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and Petersburg, and Second Division, Hancock's Corps, at Appomattox.
Wounded severely at Antietam and Gettysburg.
Francis Barlow was 29 at the Battle of Gettysburg. He had started his military career as a private, become the Lieutenant Colonel of the 61st New York, and was promoted to Brigadier General in September 1862.
Badly wounded at Antietam, he had been given a troubled brigade in the Eleventh Corps on his return to duty. His brigade was routed at Chancellorsville by Jackson's flank attack, but after the battle Barlow was promoted to division command.
At Gettysburg Barlow's men held the extreme right of the Union line north of town. He had pushed his division far forward, believing the knoll that now bears his name would be valuable ground to anchor his line. But as Early's Second Corps arrived on the exposed Union flank the position became untenable.
Barlow was shot as he tried to rally his disintegrating line. He dismounted and two men tried to help him to the rear until one of them was also wounded. Barlow, alone now, was struck a second time by a spent ball and could no longer stand. As the Confederates swept forward the fight raged over him briefly and his finger and clothing were grazed by bullets.
A Confederate staff officer, Lt. A.L. Pitzer, and some of his men carried Barlow to what they believed was a safe place in the rear and provided him with water. But Union artillery soon began to shell the area, so Union prisoners helped move him to a house further to the rear. He was told he was not expected to survive.
Nursed by an elderly lady and her daughter in a house on the north side of town, he was exchanged by the Confederates due to the seriousness of his wound.
He recovered and returned to command a division in the 1864 campaign, and briefly commanded the 2nd Corps at the end of the war. After the war he returned to the law until his death in 1896.
For years a story was told of how Confederate General John B. Gordon succored the stricken Barlow on the field, then met him years later at a dinner after believing him dead. There was even a diorama in the Cyclorama building at the park illustrating the event.
But Barlow never mentioned Gordon, although he wrote of "Major Pitzera" in a detailed letter to his mother. It is very possible that the tale may have been an embellishment or an outright fabrication that Gordon, a master storyteller, used in his career on the speaker's circuit.

The Elko County Fair has been mixing families and fun for 98 years! We have entertainment and events for everybody in the family – crafts and critters, the carnival and fair food, horse racing, live music, the stockhorse show, and MORE! New this year – the Country Showdown, America's oldest and biggest talent search for hot new country musicians! Send out the summer with a big, winning smile – Labor Day Weekend at the Elko County Fair!
The Elko County Fair is an annual event put on by a group of dedicated volunteers, hard-working competitors and generous businesses and individuals who sponsor the event. It's managed by a citizen board of directors appointed by the Elko County Commissioners. The Board is responsible for the event itself, as well as for year-round operations of the historic 40-acre Fairgrounds where the Fair is held. The Board is supported by two year-round staff people, as well as temporary staff brought on for the month of the Fair. The Fair itself draws approximately 20,000 people annually; other events held at the Fairgrounds draw another 20,000 people over the course of the year.
Several local non-profit organizations and student groups raise money by volunteering at the Fair, including the Elko Police Officers Protective Association, Elko County Sheriffs Cadet Program, POW/MIA, Elko County 4-H, the Elko High School Choraliers, the Elko High School Future Business Leaders of America, the Northern Nevada Autism Network, Animal House Rescue, and the Elko High School Track Team.
Dozens of individuals give of their time to volunteer, as well – some of them for more than two decades. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities for people interested in giving their time to the Fair, and would love to talk with you about joining us.
If you'd like to volunteer, call the Fair office at 775-738-3616. We'd love to have you!
The Elko County Agricultural District #4 was established by the Nevada Legislature early in the 20th century, and the first Elko County Fair was held September 16-18, 1920. The goal of the Fair and of the agricultural district was to promote agriculture and the local economy by production of an annual fair or exposition highlighting local products and industries.
For the first seven years of the Fair, the Fair Board struggled to find a permanent site for the event, hosting the Fair at the Garcia Rodeo Grounds on the east edge of Elko and (once) in Wells. The Fair was cancelled twice during that time, once due to an outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease, and once to save money for the construction of permanent facilities. That conservatism paid off, as the City of Elko acquired part of the old China Ranch in 1927, and the first Fair was held later that year at its current site. The Fair Board invested $34,000 in 1927 and 1928 to develop the facility – approximately $450,000 in today's money – and has continued to expand the facility and produce the Fair every year in the nearly 100 years since.
These days, the Fair Board works to balance the historical nature of the event with the growing and changing population of Elko County. The Fair remains, at its core, an agricultural celebration, but now features a wide variety of attractions for modern families. The Fair will celebrate its centennial year in 2020.
Thanks to historian Jan Petersen for researching the history of the Fair.

Heatwave spreads across Australia with temperatures to push into the 40s
By Chanel Zagon
7:58pm Jan 27, 2020
A heatwave spreading across Australia is expected to reach extreme levels this week.
It is expected to start as a low intensity heatwave from today in Western Australia, spreading until Wednesday through to South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland.
Then from Wednesday until the weekend, a severe heatwave will begin to roll through south-eastern South Australia, Victoria, ACT, NSW and Tasmania.
Hobart faces an almost unprecedented weather event, with the heatwave expected to be extreme by the end of the week.
New South Wales weather forecast
Sydney-siders will begin to feel the heatwave from Friday, with temperatures rising to 31C whilst it's cloudy with a chance of rain.
The weekend is forecast to be scorcher, heating up to 35C on Saturday and 37C on Sunday, while in greater western Sydney, temperatures have been forecast to reach the 40s.
A top of 29C has been forecast for Tuesday, with a chance of thunderstorms and a late shower.
Weatherzone meteorologist Joel Pippard said the state would begin to heat up towards the end of week.
"Throughout the week humidity will start to die down, next weekend looking to be quite a hot one with temperatures in the mid-30s," he said.
"Out west, temperatures will be well into the 40-degree mark."
A total fire ban has been declared for the Southern Ranges region tomorrow, due to warm, dry and windy conditions.
There were 59 bush and grass fired burning across NSW today, with 28 still not contained.
More than 1300 firefighters are working to slow the spread of fires ahead of the increasing temperatures later in the week.
Victoria weather forecast
The Environmental Protection Authority has forecast "very poor" air quality conditions in East Gippsland today, with residents told to stay indoors.
The hazardous smoke blanketing the region is expected to remain until tomorrow.
EPA state agency commander Stephen Lansdell said the smoke was coming from fires still burning.
Authorities will brace for dangerous fire conditions as temperatures start to heat up on Thursday.
Victorians will swelter through a 36C day on Thursday, with temperatures stepping up to a 41C high on Friday, before dropping to 32C on Saturday.
"The heat is slowly building up until Friday and then next weekend it looks like we might get a decent amount of rain across South Australia and Victoria," Mr Pippard said.
South Australia weather forecast
A severe heatwave is forecast for Adelaide from Wednesday, with the blistering temperatures to remain until Friday.
Temperatures will reach a top of 37C on Wednesday, with Thursday peaking at a blistering 40C and Friday a top of 39C.
The hot weather is unlikely to drop much overnight.
"We are starting to move into a severe heatwave for Adelaide," Mr Pippard said.
"It's going to be hard to sleep from Wednesday."
Last week wild weather whipped up giant dust storms through parts of South Australia. (SA Police)
Queensland weather forecast
Brisbane is set to have consistent temperatures this week, with a top of 31C on most days.
Temperatures will rise to 33C on Wednesday, before dropping back to 31C for the remainder of the week.
A slight chance of rain has also been forecast to drizzle the state this week.
Tasmania weather forecast
In an almost unprecedented weather event, Hobart will be hit with an extreme heatwave on Friday with a top of 38C.
Mr Pippard said the January record for the city was 42C.
"Friday will be the peak of the heat," he said.
A heatwave will hit large portions of Australia. (Ventusky)
"It shouldn't challenge the 42-degree record, but it is quite hot for them."
Temperatures will begin to rise on Thursday, with a top of 33C and will drop on Saturday to a top of 25C.
Western Australia weather forecast
Perth is recovering from 38C today, with cooler conditions expected tomorrow.
A top of 33C is forecast for tomorrow, before temperatures drop to 23C on Thursday.
"Winds are expected to shift easterly from tomorrow, it will become a bit cooler as we get a troth passing over," Mr Pippard said.
"From there we are expecting heat to start building up again."
The sun will come out again at the weekend, with a top of 31C on Saturday and 34C on Sunday.
ACT weather forecast
The heatwave is expected to hit Canberra the hardest starting from tomorrow, with a top of 36C.
Temperatures will remain in the high 30s throughout the week, on Wednesday rising to 35C.
A top of 37C is forecast for Thursday, before exceeding into the 40s on Friday and Saturday.
"This is nine degrees above the average for this time of year," Mr Pippard said.
Last week Canberra was hit with a barrage of huge hail stones. (AAP)
Northern Territory weather forecast
Thunderstorms have been forecast for the week in Darwin.
A top of 33C is forecast, with a 50-60 percent chance of rain throughout the week.
"A shower or two and possible storms are forecast every day this week," Mr Pippard said.
"This is pretty standard for this time of year."

Does your child go to school in near the Weteringbuurt in Vlaardingen, or the Statenkwartier in The Hague and are you looking for homely, small-scale childcare for children between the ages of 4 and 12? Come and get to know the after-school care at 10forKIDS. We are happy to show you around our childcare. Do you want to know more about the possibilities? Please contact us, or make an appointment for a personal tour.
10forKIDS offers after-school care to children in the age of 4 to 12 years old.
Thanks to our small-scale organization, we can give all children personal attention. At 10forKIDS we work with themes. The program offers workshops that introduce children to various challenging sports and play activities and workshops. We have small groups (up to 22 children) in order to guarantee the best (personal) care and quality.
Working with children under the age of nine requires a different method from that of children over the age of nine. Children under nine need more protection and supervision. Offering children the right care, love and attention, is the most important thing at 10forKIDS.
Opening hours can be found at the pages on our locations in The Hague and Vlaardingen.
Do you want to know more about the costs of after-school care? View our rates here.
We offer you child safe and familair care in a homely environment. Every child gets personal attention. Activities are adjusted according to age.
The educational staff is in charge of organising and guiding free play as well as planned group activities, both inside and outside. Free play is by far the most popular option because children can then choose what they want to do and who they want to play with. Organised activities are a welcome alternative to free play where children are stimulated to do something that they may not have thought of during free play. It also offers children some active events during their free time. 10forKIDS finds it very important to therefore offer enough and a varied selection of activities. This often takes shape in the form of workshops. Children can then show some initiative, think and plan together with their teachers and receive more responsibility at 10forKIDS. This way they learn to consult and think about what they want, listen to what others want and together figure out what the options are.
