Glee Project Champ Blake Jenner on Bathroom Crying, Parrot Prison and...a Brittana Triangle?
How excited is Blake Jenner about winning Season 2 of Oxygen's The Glee Project and scoring a seven-episode arc on the Glee mothership? "I feel like doing a million of the Superman jumps that I did right after I found out that I won," says the 19-year-old Miami native, who moved to Hollywood two years ago this September to live the life of a struggling actor. "A really, really struggling actor," he adds with a laugh.
TVLine caught up with Jenner to talk about his lack of overtly compelling backstory, his hot chemistry with fellow contestant Nellie Veitenheimer, and the moment that he wound up sobbing in a backstage bathroom and avoiding the glare of the Glee Project cameras. Oh, and Jenner also has some thoughts that might strike fear (or LOLs) into the hearts of Brittana fans. Read on for the whole enchillada!
TVLine | Before we talk about your path to victory, I have to ask: What you were doing before The Glee Project?
I was working at a parrot shop, trying to make ends meet. Before the parrot shop, I had worked at a fast-food restaurant, I worked as a waiter, I worked at a retail store. I was having Ramen for dinner, and then some Chef Boyardee, just fighting to survive, really. Also, I was going to auditions. You think you've got something, and you don't even get a call back.
TVLine | Did you say a parrot shop?
[Laughs] Yeah, it's really scary. You had to take the parrots by the hand, and you can't show fear to them or else they'll try to bite you. It was pretty crazy. In the back, all the parrots are there in cages, so it feels like you're in Shawshank Redemption, like they're in a jail. You're changing their food, their water, and parrots can be really dirty, man. Sometimes it wasn't too pleasant.
TVLine | So I just spoke with [Glee Project mentor] Robert Ulrich a little while ago, and he shared a story about the first elimination of the season, and how he was unable to go into the bathroom because there was a contestant locked inside, crying, and how it turned out to be you. That surprised me, because you came across as someone who had a pretty good grasp on your emotions, who seemed fairly cool and collected throughout the process.
I had watched all of Season 1, so I knew what was about to come. And it was really tough for me because I had been said no to so many times, and I just really, really wanted it. Every audition I would ever go to, it was about making my dreams come true, but it was also making the dreams come true of Blake when he was a little five-year-old boy. With all of that hitting me, I just got very emotional, and I ran in the bathroom. That's definitely why you didn't see it on TV, because I didn't want to show that. I was just bawling.
TVLine | Having watched Season 1 of The Glee Project, when you first got on the show and found yourself with your 13 fellow contestants, did you ever have back-story anxiety, like maybe your struggle wasn't as interesting as the person next to you? That can be a big part of the show and the casting process.
Oh yeah. You look at Tyler, or you look at Abraham, or you look at Aylin or Ali or Shanna, and everybody had these very, very compelling stories. Michael and I, we probably seemed to have the most normal, average stories. When it came to the finale, I was really, really, really nervous, just because I was up against two girls that probably have the best, most compelling life stories of everyone in the competition, and here I am, the whitest half-Cuban ever. That's all that I had. When you look at me, I'd have to tell you what I've been through; with Aylin and Ali, you could know some of what they had been through just by looking at them.
TVLine | Early on, during Vulnerability Week, a lot of the contestants talked about their experiences being bullied. You touched on the subject, but can you explain how that was that an issue for you as a kid?
In junior high, I was picked on for being the small skinny kid who enjoyed being in drama. All the drama kids, we were looked at like we were aliens, and people would call us names and say, you know, it's stupid to be in drama. They would say a lot worse things, to be honest. I'd get pushed, and I was in no position to defend myself because I didn't have much self-esteem, and I was the smallest kid. It was a hard time, and that's why it was hard to talk about. And as I said on the show, there was a time when I saw this one kid being beat up, and I couldn't do anything about it because I didn't have that confidence. From that moment forward, I've wanted to fight against [bullying], and I wanted to be there for people, giving advice and help.
TVLine | I bet those bullies wish they had your hair now.
TVLine | Yes, you have a pretty enviable head of hair. How much work goes into that? That doesn't look like a roll-out-of-bed situation.
[Laughs] I honestly don't do anything to it. I take my hair, and I just play with it. I'll just take my hand, I'll mess with the front, and then I'll just pat it on the back, and that's it. I promise you, I don't use hair spray, I don't go crazy with products. I just wake up, flip it, and boom, I go bowling.
TVLine | That's cosmically unfair, but I digress. Okay, so getting back to the competition, you exhibited a lot of chemistry with Nellie during the "Milkshake"/"Moves Like Jagger" mash-up, and especially in your last-chance duet with her. That one — "I've Been Waiting for a Girl/Boy Like You" — was almost like a mini-Glee episode right there on the stage. Did you guys talk about getting into character before you did that duet? Because it felt episodic, it felt dramatic, it didn't feel like just two people singing a song on a stage.
Obviously, Nellie is a very, very pretty girl. We both had a passion for the competition and our friendship. We're totally good friends, and we can definitely trust each other enough to portray a romance when we need to. For the last-chance performance, we talked about it. We were giving and taking. We were going with each other's ideas. We definitely wanted to make it like our baby, our performance for Ryan [Murphy]. We wanted it to be a story rather than just a performance. We wanted to engage each other as if it was a scene, make it just like how Glee is. They'll be singing, but you really see the emotion, and you really see the story behind it, whether it's Finn and Rachel singing to each other, or Santana and Brittany singing to each other. You see that romance, and you see that love for each other.
TVLine | During Tenacity Week, you guys were faced with a physically brutal video shoot — doing everything in one continuous take — but you had to go first. So no matter how many takes there were, you had to run up and down the bleechers. How exhausted were you from that? Were there moments where you thought, "if we have to do another take, I might not actually get through this"?
Throughout that video shoot, I was fighting with myself to just focus on the positive side. For as long as my body would let me, I thought of it as the first take each time, so that my mind didn't get too tired. When we were done, everybody was in the room talking, and I was just on the couch. I had never been that tired in my entire life. I was just chugging water and feeling terrible.
TVLine | The first time you ended up in the bottom three giving a solo performance, your competitors were Shanna and Aylin. How freaked out were you, because I think there was a consensus that the three of you were the front-runners in the competition at that point?
Oh, it was weird. Here Aylin was, incredibly talented, with a story that Ryan loved, and Shanna, she was just invincible. Her voice could do anything she wanted it to, and here I was, just this guy. I was really scared because first of all, I got "Losing My Religion." I knew Aylin and Shanna were going to get to belt and sing high for certain parts, and while "Losing My Religion" is a great song, it's also mellow. I honestly thought that week I had a good chance of going home. Ryan said that he needed to see something other than the nice-guy exterior. It just seemed like I had to show him so much more, and I felt like with Shanna and Aylin he already knew who they were as people and as [potential] characters.
TVLine | It may have been the only time that you seemed shaken in the competition. When you started that performance, you could see and hear the nerves.
I'm not so trained in singing. I'd never really done a performance of a song by myself in an auditorium in front of people who are judging me. So having Nellie the first time as a duet partner, it was very comforting, and I was focusing on her. [With "Losing My Religion"], I was looking at the mentors and at Ryan, and those were real nerves. I mean, me screwing up my words at the beginning, and breathing heavily, and then forgetting the song title. I cracked up when I saw that on TV, but in the moment, I was like, crap, did you really just forget the song you're singing?
TVLine | Tell me about Actability Week, where you improvised scenes as a villainous football quarterback dubbed Darth Blake. I thought that was the week that you might have sealed up the competition. Were you excited to get that opportunity? Tell me how you got into the right frame of mind to play this nasty guy.
Obviously, I hate to be mean to anyone. But as an actor, to get to play someone that you're not? That's just the best. That's the juice right there, for acting. I was nervous on the inside just because I wanted to do a good job, and I wanted to portray my character honestly but not push too far. I played the villain in a seventh-grade play in middle school, but this was the real deal.
TVLine | Robert Ulrich told me that you have a background in improvisation, so perhaps that helped prepare you to improvise the dramatic scenes in that challenge?
In Miami, I was studying improv as well as acting. Improv is a great tool to have, just for the comedic timing that you get. When I moved to LA, I started taking classes with The Groundlings, and I loved it. I'm definitely in love with improv and comedy.
TVLine | Is there a funnier side of you that we haven't gotten to see on The Glee Project?
When I first wanted to be an actor, it was when I saw Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber, so I grew up wanting to be an actor/stand-up comedian. I don't think a lot of people have really seen my sense of humor. They've gotten little flashes of it, like when I won my first homework assignment on the show, and I said [uses funny voice] "oh, I won this, and I won that, and I won this, and I won that." I think that with Glee, if my character does have a sense of humor, that people will be surprised.
TVLine | Let's talk about the finale. You went in knowing the judges wanted to see something different from you, something that might set you apart. I was surprised when you chose "I'll Be" for your last-chance performance. To me, it didn't really seem unexpected. And then Ryan asked you if throwing your mic from one hand to the other, if that's what we hadn't seen before. What did you feel as he said that to you?
When I chose "I'll Be," I definitely wanted to show who I was and stay true to that. I've loved that song since I was a kid. I listen to it at the gym. I listen to it when I'm in the car. I listen to it all the time. That song is definitely a part of me. The lyrics are, "I'll be your crying shoulder," and that's totally me for all of my friends, my loved ones, my family. Whenever they need me, I will definitely be there for them. When Ryan made that comment, I did, for a second think, "Oh man, maybe he's not happy with the song." But then I had the poem.
TVLine | I didn't see that coming. Tell me the thought process of writing a poem and performing it for your final time in front of the judges.
I've written poetry since I was a kid. As the years went on, I got into writing stories and screenplays, but I always, always kept up with poetry as well. It was just a way for me to vent my feelings, because I love being there for everyone, but I never ask for anything in return. And my way to vent is to create poetry, to write a story, or something like that. So poetry means a lot to me, and I wanted to show my poetic side.
TVLine | At what point did you decide to write a poem?
TVLine | How long did it take you to write it?
I didn't want to sell it short. I mean, anybody can take a piece of paper and be like, "roses are red and violets are blue" and all that stuff, but I really wanted to show who I was through the poem. So it took me the entire night. I went to bed pretty late, while everybody else around me was asleep. I had my light on by my bed, and I was just writing, making corrections, scratching out lines that I didn't like, and I was just really perfecting it because I wanted it to display the real me.
TVLine | Before the finale, Ryan Murphy Tweeted "Who will win THE GLEE PROJECT 2? Writing such a great role for the winner! And just wait until you see who they are dating…" Who is it? Will we be surprised?
I know nothing. I saw what Ryan Tweeted, and honestly, I can't wait to see who I will be dating. Every actor wants to have a romance for the character, wants to have complications, wants to fight for what they believe in with their character. I don't know who it could be yet. I thought maybe it could be Brittany, since Santana has graduated, and maybe Brittney is lonely in high school. Maybe my character starts getting close with Brittany? But it's going to be just as much of a surprise to me as it will be to everyone else.
Exactly, and my character, he would be legitimately scared for his life. So I say let's do it. That would be awesome. And also I grew up doing Michael Jackson dances and studying how he was moving, but I'm not as good as Heather or Harry or anybody on the cast. So I'd love to see my character try and keep up with Brittany. It would be funny to watch. Awkward, but funny.
Excited about Blake's Glee Project win? What kind of character do you want to see him play? Sound off in the comments, and to get up-to-the-minute alerts for when my Q&As post with Glee Project runners-up Aylin and Ali, plus head mentor Robert Ulrich, follow me on Twitter @MichaelSlezakTV!

Estates has a number of campus walks on their website including a lake walk and a sculpture walk.
Edible Campus Walk
Warwick Campus is surrounded by woodland and farmland and there are a number of growing spaces on campus where you might be able to get involved in planting and acquire some fruit and veg to cook up some delicious meals. Alternatively, you could just enjoy the green spaces as places to relax.
You can find all the sites on this route on the interactive campus map.
Start at the Jam Grove next to the Westwood Cafe on Westwood Campus.
The idea behind the Jam Grove was to make campus more inviting, engaging, sustainable and productive. From this, the idea of a series of garden projects has developed starting with this accessible garden of fruit trees and berries. Students and staff are welcome to get involved in growing in the Jam Grove or just enjoy the space.
Continue by walking back to main campus via Milburn and the Maths and Stats Building. Turn left and diagonally cross the car park in front of the old sports centre, now called The Junction, and onto the footpath that takes you behind the Arthur Wick residences. To the left you will see the allotment that is lovingly tended by the students who are members of the Warwick Allotment Society
The Warwick Allotment Society is one of the Student Union societies and they meet on the site most Wednesday afternoons. If you take this walk on a Wednesday afternoon you should be able to find out more from some of their members about getting involved with the growing and work on the site. Alternatively you can contact them via the Warwick Allotment Society Website.
After the allotment continue on the path past the lake then take a left to walk through Tocil Wood up to the Biomedical and Life Sciences buildings at the Gibbet Hill site.
Tocil Wood is an ancient woodland managed by the Woodland Trust and filled with rare, ancient oaks. In spring it is carpeted with Bluebells so it's a lovely place to come for a peaceful break from revision.
Behind the life sciences building there is a small apple orchard. In late summer an early autumn you should be able to scoop up some windfalls to make apple crumble or apple cake.
For further information on growing, cooking and food history here are some ideas:
You could have a look at the anniversary Simple Scoff cookbook written by students and staff of the University of Warwick.
There are a number of researchers at Warwick who work on environmental sustainability, food justice and the history of food. Not, least the current Head of the History Department, Professor Rebecca Earle. By reading her recent research you can find out everything you ever wanted to know about the humble potato:

To avoid having serious felony consequences follow you, you need to be aware of the steps below and retain an experienced attorney. First of all, exercise your right to remain silent wherever possible. The fifth amendment of the constitution gives everyone the right to refuse to incriminate themselves in criminal cases. The best way to avoid incriminating yourself is to remain silent.
Refuse to answer any questions when you are taken into custody, remain calm and polite. If you believe, however, that you are wrongfully arrested or that your rights were violated in the process of the search or arrest, do not attempt to argue with the officers or resist arrest. This could lead to additional charges being filed if you're not careful. Another important step you need to take if you have been assessed with felony charges is to contact an attorney immediately.
The prosecutor will know all of the technicalities of the law that you are unlikely to know and may attempt to encourage you to accept a plea bargain that seems like your best option. Having your own criminal defense attorney to assist you, however, evens the playing field and allows you to avoid taking what seems like an easy deal without carefully considering the consequences. The next thing to know about facing felony charges is to be aware of the felony offense you're facing.
Most people do not realize the differences between a misdemeanor and a felony, meaning that they do not understand the severity of the crime of which they have been accused as well as the potential consequences if they are ultimately convicted. Misdemeanors are typically punished by time in county jail, a fine, or both.
A felony, however, carries more significant penalties including a county jail sentence or a prison sentence and you may also have to pay restitution to the victim of the crime. Never post bail in a felony case without first speaking to your criminal defense attorney. Many of your loved ones may be interested in posting bail for you as soon as you have been arrested. However, you should first allow your criminal defense attorney to review the facts of your case and identify whether or not you could be released without having to post bail or be subject to a bail reduction.
Only an experienced criminal defense attorney can tell whether or not this applies in your individual case and your defense lawyer can tell you more about whether or not the charges are likely to be dropped at the arraignment hearing. You would be released from custody within a few days after that if this occurs. Scheduling a consultation with an experienced attorney is the next step that you must take to protect yourself.


London has become one of the cheapest major European cities for overseas workers since the Brexit referendum, according to global mobility research firm ECA International.

Te' K'ab Chaak ("Tree Branch Rain God") was a Mayan king (ajaw) of Caracol in Belize. He was a founder of the Caracol dynasty.

Two retrospective references to Te' K'ab Chaak in Late Classic texts place him in the middle of the fourth century AD; that a king from this early era should continue to be talked about hundreds of years later suggests that he was the dynasty founder.

Marc Zender cautions that the translation of Te' K'ab Chaak's name as "Tree Branch Rain God" is unlikely, given that k'abte''' (literally "arm (of) tree"), rather than te'k'ab'', would be the expected order of elements in Mayan for the meaning "tree branch".

Zender suggests a translation like "Tree-Armed Chaak" or "Trees are the Arms of Chaak".

Veterinary and Food board suspends operations at M.V.Wool factories ({{contentCtrl.commentsTotal}})
The M.V.Wool trout gravlax which was been recalled. Source: Merilin Pärli/ERR
The Veterinary and Food Board (VTA) has issued an injunction to suspend operations by processed fish company M.V.Wool with immediate effect. Both of M.V.Wool's plants, in Harku and Vihterpalu, are to be closed following repeated findings of Listeria bacteria despite the company saying it took efforts to eliminate these.
The strain in question, ST1247, has been linked with outbreaks of Listeriosis. Bacteria outbreaks traced to M.V.Wool products have been linked to two deaths in Estonia and several more Europe-wide, and first came to light following claims made by the Danish veterinary and food authority earlier in the year.
The VTA say M.V.Wool's efforts, which included closing the Harku factory for sterilization over two days in mid-October.
According to Olev Kalda, VTA Deputy Director Genera, the closure decision was the result of a thorough analysis.
"Since the company's activities to date have not led to a mitigation of the threat, halting the company's food operations is a measure to ensure food contaminated with the disease agent does not end up going to the consumer," Kalda explained.
M.V.Wool can, according to the VTA, recommence production if it demonstrates that its procedures are appropriate and that the specific risk has been eliminated.
Listeria monocytogenes strain ST1247 has caused diseases both in Estonia and Europe. It can be very debilitating and puts people with a weak immune system first and foremost – pregnant women, the elderly, etc. Listeriosis is characterized by a long incubation period which varies from a few days to three months. The Listeria contamination may arise from contaminated food such as meat, fish, dairy products, salads and fruits and vegetables. Unlike other food-borne bacteria, even refrigeration may not halt the bacteria propagating, which they can do at low temperatures, according to ERR.
On March 8 this year, the VTA received information from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announcing outbreaks of Listeria monocytogenes in five EU Member States .
The results of the analysis linked the outbreaks to the products from M.V.Wool AS. As a result, on March 13, the VTA issued precautionary measures for further assessment of the safety of the output.
On 4 June, EFSA and ECDC released a risk assessment of the international outbreak. The cases of illness and death identified in the EFCA-ECDC report relate to industry and activities from M.V.Wool and not to the raw materials used by the company.
M.V.Wool had since been required to provided the VTA with regular samples to monitor the existence of Listeria bacteria.
Some M.V.Wool prducts, including trout were recalled, and supermarket Maxima stopped stocking the company's products altogether.

Iconic Eats in Buffalo, New York
Story by Bill Bauer
Buffalo, New York is nestled on the shores of Lake Erie midway between Jamestown and Niagara Falls. The state's second largest metropolitan area (after New York City) is home to hearty folks who endure notoriously bad weather, yearn for a championship from the NFL's Bills and NHL's Sabres, and know how to eat!
Locals take pride in homegrown, original foods, some of which—like wings (not Buffalo wings, not chicken wings, just wings)—have become synonymous with the area.
For 40 years, I lived a few miles south of Buffalo. Now that I'm living in South Carolina I don't miss the winters a bit, but I do miss feasting on Buffalo food traditions. So I make an annual pilgrimage north to savor favorites at local restaurants and tote home a carload of staples.
Here's a list of the foods that I think sets Western New York apart. Shuffle off to Buffalo, seek, sample, savor and let the feast begin!
Wings at Anchor Bar
When you travel around the country you'll undoubtedly see Buffalo wings on many a menu, but at Anchor Bar in downtown Buffalo (and almost every restaurant in Western New York) you'll simply find "wings"—prepared along a range of heat and crispiness levels. In 1962 at her neighborhood bar Teressa Bellissimo took the chicken wings normally reserved for the stock pot, tossed them in the deep fryer, and smothered the crispy morsels with a "secret" sauce to feed her son, Dominic, and a bunch of his hungry buddies. Word got out about the new taste sensation and wings became a permanent part of the menu. Often copied, but never duplicated, today the Anchor Bar serves 70,000 pounds of wings per month using Teressa's original sauce. Whether you favor mild, the original medium, suicidal, or anything in between, the only place to get original wings is Frank and Teressa's Anchor Bar.

Beef on Weck at Schwabl's
Weck, short for Kummelweck, is a soft Kaiser roll topped with rye, caraway, and salt. Slice it in half and pile a mountain of thin-sliced, rare roast beef in between, and you have the notorious Beef on Weck sandwich. A Buffalo tradition, the sandwich is usually served au jus, with horseradish and, for a little kick, another Buffalo specialty, Frank's Red Hot Sauce. My No. 1 favorite location for Beef on Weck is Schwabl's, a little restaurant in West Seneca that's been featured in multiple travel books, several Travel Channel programs, and has won numerous "Best Beef on Weck" awards. The Schwabl family boasts a long line of restaurant operators in the U.S. that dates back to 1837!

Sahlen's Hot Dogs at Ted's Hot Dogs
There are all kinds of frankfurters and hot dogs, and then there are Sahlen's, a natural casing or skinless wiener that can be purchased in Western New York area grocery stores. Sahlen's hot dogs date back to 1869 and are on the menu at Ted's Hot Dogs, a Buffalo tradition since 1927. Whether it's a regular, footlong, or jumbo, served with chili, bacon, and/or cheese, and smothered in a secret family recipe hot sauce, Ted's hot dogs are cooked over a glowing bed of hardwood charcoal. Theodore Spiro Liaros, better known as Ted, began with a hot dog cart, moved up to a shack, and today, Ted's nine locations remain the "red hot spots" for Sahlen's.

Sponge Candy at Valvo's Candy, Inc.
What is sponge candy and why is it special? Sue Valvo, owner of Valvo's Candy just south of Buffalo in Silver Creek, explains: "Sponge candy is hard to describe. It's a molasses candy with crumbly crunchy pieces and a harder crunchy piece covered in light or dark chocolate, and it's a Western New York thing—probably because of the weather being so cold!" Sponge candy is made in the colder months when the humidity and temperatures are low. Emil Valvo, Sue's grandfather, started Valvo's Candy in 1919 and sponge candy has been a staple for three generations. These tasty, melt-in-your-mouth, bite-sized morsels can also be found in other Buffalo sweet shops with long family traditions like Fowler's (1910) and Watson's (1946)!
Donuts at Tim Hortons
Tim Horton is a name that Western New Yorker's know all too well. The NHL star forward for the Buffalo Sabres met an untimely death in a car accident in Canada, but not before attaching his name to a chain of donut shops. The donuts are divine—especially the maple glazed dip. Whether it's a dozen donuts or a box of the signature Timbits, you can't go wrong. Tim Hortons has 4,613 restaurants in nine countries, including 37 in Buffalo.
BBQ Chicken at Chiavetta's
Mention Chiavetta's and Western New Yorkers will ask, "Where are they barbecuing chicken?" That's because Tom and Eleanor Chiavetta began catering chicken barbecues in 1954, and their descendants (along with a host of long-time employees) do 350 to 400 events a year. Rarely does a weekend go by that a Chiavetta's famous barbecue is not being held somewhere in the Buffalo area. The chicken's unique flavor is derived from Chiavetta's own BBQ marinade recipe that Tom and Eleanor concocted back in the '50s and hasn't changed since. Chiavetta's will cater any size party but also has a takeout restaurant location in Lockport, plus the signature marinade can be found in supermarkets throughout Western New York.

Bread at DiCamillo Bakery
DiCamillo Bakery is famous throughout Western New York for a unique Italian bread, scaletta, which means 'ladder' in Italian. It's so named because the dough is shaped like rungs of a ladder during the molding stage. This 100-percent family business spans four generations; it began when Tomaso and Addolorata DiCamillo arrived in Niagara Falls from the Abruzzi region of Italy, opened a bakery, and sold bread on horse-drawn wagons. Today DiCamillo Bakery has five locations in Western New York and is nationally known for Italian Biscotti Cookies and other authentic Italian cookies that can also be found in national retailers like Neiman Marcus and Saks.

Pierogi & Sausage at Redlinski Meats
No visit to Buffalo is complete without sampling some ethnic food. At Redlinski Meats on Walden Avenue, world famous polish sausages have been produced since 1942. One of the first butcher shops in Buffalo, it makes over 100 of its own products, including smoked and fresh sausages, holiday hams, and of course homemade pierogis. Whether filled with sauerkraut, farmer's cheese, or potatoes, this pierogi cannot be matched! The butcher shop has a little store inside and an outdoor restaurant grill. Polish treats are special around the holidays, so around Christmas-and Easter-time it is not uncommon to have a three-hour wait!
Mustard, Chip Dip & Hot Sauce at Wegmans
Bison Brand French Onion Dip, Webers Horseradish Style Mustard, and Frank's Red Hot are made-in-Buffalo products that remain my personal go-to condiments for dipping chips, making sandwiches, and kicking any food up a notch. While these three Buffalo standbys are found in many Western New York stores, the best place to go is Wegmans, a supermarket chain that originated in Rochester and has several Buffalo locations. A trip to Wegmans is not grocery shopping, it's an experience. Go once and you'll never doubt how Wegmans earns its rank as customers' favorite supermarket in the U.S.A. High quality meats, fresh-caught seafood, deli products and imported cheeses, international foods, dairy, frozen, and household items, ready-to-eat foods and mind-blowing ingredients, Wegmans has it all and more.
Visit Buffalo Niagara
An insider's argument for planning a visit during football season…
Sports, food, history and culture merge several times a year in the suburb of Orchard Park, home to the Buffalo Bills NFL football team. On Sundays during football season, tens of thousands of Western New Yorkers gather to suppor ta team that's made the playoffs once in the last 17 years. Stroll through the parking lot tailgates and you will undoubtedly find many of Buffalo's unique famous foods: Chiavetta's Chicken, Sahlens Hot Dogs with Webers Mustard, beef on weck, chicken wings with Franks Red Hot, chips with Bison Brand Dip, and sausage to name just a few. Kathleen Chiavetta says it best, "Buffalo is the city of good neighbors and with a block party 70,000 strong, it's easy to see why you might be able to take the people out of Buffalo, but you'll never take Buffalo out of the people!"

Tim Hortons donuts??? Maybe the coffee. You need to try Paula's donuts at one of their four locations when you come back to town. They also have many varieties of donut holes that are great too.

Other songs delve into fear of global climate change ("Anti-Aging Global Warming"); the daily misogyny and dangers of life as a woman ("Mother's Love," "Heavy Handed"); and struggles with everyday social relations while promoting female empowerment ("Evolution of a Friendship," "Honesty").


This week I chose a local school ground for our picnic. Behind the school is one of the best playgrounds in town. But you can't see any of it from the road, so you'd never know. Behind the playground is a humongous open field for soccer, frolicking and other games. Then, behind that, is a chunk of woods with well-managed trails.
However, the boys were not convinced. They saw playground toys and only wanted toys. With a little "we'll go home if you're not going to listen," I got them to indulge me (mwahaha) and follow me to the opening. When they saw the mysterious pathways and beautiful meadow grasses and flowers, they got excited, like I knew they would. We came upon a shelter filled with picnic tables nestled in a corner of the woods. Perfect!
We spread out our food and got to work on supper. This is one of the hardest parts of our picnics. With so much anticipation for what they're going to see and where they're going to play, it takes quite a lot of willpower and self-control to actually eat.
See what I mean? But those goofy goons finally finished and we made our way through some of the trails. The boys just had to carry their own lunch boxes. Grandma made sure they each had their own brand new lunch box for these weekly trips. Grandma's the best.
The ambiance was complete with the smell from the wildfires happening hundreds of miles away in Minnesota. The autumn winds brought the campfire smell and a faint haze to our corner of Wisconsin that day.
We were almost to the end of the trail when my son said, "there's a deer." He sometimes points out pretend deer when we're in the woods just for fun, so I kept going. Then, I looked back and had to look again. Well, I'll be... There stood a beautiful doe. She must be well-adapted to humans, because she stood in the same spot while we talked to her and took pictures.
Then, of course, we had to hit up the playground. I had one little Spider Monkey climbing a web-like rope contraption and another checking out each and every slide. I took a moment to get "up to the sky" on a swing. My stomach had a lot more butterflies in it than I ever remember having.
I was busy reflecting on these great experiences we are having every week. Being outdoors away from TV, steeping ourselves in nature, spending quality time with the kiddos, being active, exploring new territory, and spending very little moola...it feels like an adventure in happiness every week. And it's just as simple as carving out one night a week, when my husband is away, to visit a different park. Magnificent! Give it a try!

Cavs
Kyrie Irving Named Eastern Conference Rookie Of The Month, But More Importantly Is Cavs' MVP
The 19-year-old is averaging 18.1 points and 4.9 assists per game and is shooting 51 percent from the floor.
By Martin Rickman@martinrickman Feb 1, 2012, 2:25pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Kyrie Irving Named Eastern Conference Rookie Of The Month, But More Importantly Is Cavs' MVP
When Kyrie Irving was announced as the Eastern Conference Rookie Of The Month on Wednesday afternoon, few were surprised.
Byron Scott had already said hours before, "We don't know who it is? Give me a break."
Sherwood Strauss of Hoopspeak wrote on Monday, "Sometimes it seems as though the only shocking aspect of Kyrie's success is how shocked people are by it."
Sebastian Pruiti moved Irving up to number one in his rookie rankings this week.
Conrad Kaczmarek of Fear The Sword has spent tweets on tweets on tweets talking about how rare a rookie season like Kyrie's is.
In the blink of an eye, the Cavs have their superstar again.
What Kyrie Irving has been able to do in just 30+ games since graduating high school is simply amazing. He has a .597 TS%, a 22.6 PER, and as Pruiti pointed out, is finishing at the rim, something young players often have a tough time doing.
Irving has managed to play surprisingly efficient basketball for a first-year point guard because he finishes at the rim. This is impressive. Many NBA guards never figure out how to convert shots in the lane at a high rate; Irving, who is listed generously at 6-foot-3, seems to have a knack for getting to the basket and scoring there. According to Hoopdata.com, Irving shoots 63 percent at the rim. This puts him in similar territory with Derrick Rose (62.9 percent), Tony Parker (62.4 percent), and John Wall (58.6 percent). In fact, Irving scores 1.292 points per possession near the rim, which puts him in the top 20 percent of all NBA players, according to Synergy Sports.
Irving is an elite finisher because he squares his body to the basket very well. Usually, when he drives to the rim, he gets his shoulders parallel with the backboard, and that little fundamental step makes his shots easier to convert.
The 19-year-old has Cleveland in games despite a dearth of talent, especially at the wing positions. He has developed chemistry with Anderson Varejao that surpasses what Wild Thing had with LeBron James, elevating the Brazilian to a career year that is generating All-Star buzz.
Irving has become a leader far more quickly than anyone expected in this lockout-shortened season. Before the rematch against Boston on Tuesday night, he was seen giving rookie Mychel Thompson (who is four years older than Kyrie) advice for his first NBA start. The upstart Cavs look to the point guard to be more than a floor general, and he seems more than up to the task.
A year after winning zero games in January, the Cavs won seven. There's no question that the rookie out of Duke is the biggest reason why.
So while Kyrie Irving is the Rookie of the Month for January, more importantly for Cleveland, the first overall pick is already the Cavs' most valuable player. And he's just 20 games into his career.

Column | Walti, Noel need to lead young stars to keep men's soccer elite
TPN File Photo
Senior midfielder Jackson Walti, a returning player on Pitt men's soccer.
By Zack Gibney, Senior Staff Writer
There is a term in the sports world called a "heat check" — when a player has been playing well and they put their hot streak to the test. This so-called heat check unofficially determines whether they have staying power or if the prior attempts were a fluke.
In just under a week, the Pitt men's soccer team will embark on a season-long heat check.
While there is no doubt that coach Jay Vidovich has turned a previously hapless program into a legitimate powerhouse, last year's "national contender" label and its sustainability will be put to the test.
In order to build upon the program's newfound momentum, the returning players who experienced the highs and lows of last season will need to return as refined versions of themselves. They'll have the big-game experience to guide the newcomers, providing the leadership to get over the hump.
The 2020-21 season was an eventful one for Pitt. On one hand, the Panthers were making their first ever appearance in the College Cup — a milestone achievement for a program that was once a bottomfeeder less than a decade ago. Vidovich's squad even reached the summit of the national rankings for the first time in program history, just four seasons after failing to tally a conference win.
But Pitt's historic year ended with bitter disappointment after losing its semifinal matchup to Indiana. The Panthers had the majority of the scoring chances in the contest — they just couldn't find the back of the net.
Just under three months later, the team had the chance to reflect on the rollercoaster ride that was, by all accounts, their best season in program history. While the 1-0 loss to Indiana was undoubtedly a gut-wrenching way to end an otherwise memorable campaign, the team has a lot to be proud of when looking back on a season of many firsts.
Senior midfielder Jackson Walti has spent a few years at Pitt now and will again be a leader heading into the fall season. A member of the first Panthers squad to win an ACC tournament game in 2018, Walti wore the captain's armband throughout the 2020-21 season and played every minute of every game — one of only two Pitt players to do so.
While Walti has grown into his role as a seasoned veteran, others will have to step into larger roles than last year. This means seeing some of the younger players, such as redshirt sophomore Luke Mort, develop into future leaders of the upstart program.
Junior midfielder Valentin Noel will step up alongside Walti to lead the younger Panthers this season. After garnering ACC Player of the Year honors and leading the Panthers in scoring in his sophomore campaign, Noel will be called upon to take on a bigger leadership role.
While Pitt lost multiple fixtures of last year's memorable campaign — such as now-Atlanta United defender Bryce Washington — Vidovich has laid the foundation for a strong culture built to cultivate leaders. While the Panthers certainly had their fair share of star power in the form of Noel and others, Pitt's success was largely due to players knowing their role on the field, regardless of how many minutes they played or how many goals they scored.
The ability to adapt and have players move into new roles is a hallmark of perennial powerhouses in college sports. Individual talent only lasts as long as a player's college career. But a solid team culture can become a breeding ground for success over a prolonged period of time.
Vidovich and company seem as though they're well on their way to making this a reality and hope this year will be a step towards making the program's long-term goals. Pitt outperformed expectations last season and all signs point to them having staying power atop the collegiate soccer mountaintop.
But this season starts and ends with the leadership of those who endured the tumultuous 2020-21 season.
Pitt will face Robert Morris and Maryland in two preseason exhibition games prior to getting the regular season underway at Ambrose Urbanic Field against Duquesne on Aug. 26.

Q: Haml Form Not Submitting in Sinatra App I'm having problems submitting my form now that I've converted from erb to haml in a simple sinatra app.
new.haml
%form{ :action => "/new", :method => "post"}
  %fieldset
    %ol
      %li
        %label{:for => "username"} Name:
        %input{:type => "text", :username => "name", :class => "text"}
    %input{:type => "submit", :value => "Send", :class => "button"}

In my app.rb
get '/new' do
    haml :new
end

post '/new' do
  radcheck = Radcheck.new(:username => params[:username])
  if radcheck.save
    redirect '/'
  else
      "Hello World"
  end
end

each time I get the Hello World statement appear. My logs show nothing interesting.
Any ideas? Worked just fine with erb??

A: This is what I've tested
get '/new' do
    haml :new
end

post '/new' do
    #radcheck = Radcheck.new(:username => params[:username])
    username = params[:username]
    if username
        username
    else
        "Hello World"
    end
end

and new.haml
%form{ :action => "/new", :method => "post"}
  %fieldset
    %ol
      %li
        %label{:for => "username"} Name:
        %input{:type => "text", :name => "username", :class => "text"}
    %input{:type => "submit", :value => "Send", :class => "button"}

And it works as expected. So for some reason radcheck.save is returning false, but that has nothing to do with haml. (But notice that I have corrected input with :name => "username")

Dog Apparel Trends
Fashion is a dog-eat-dog world. Industry experts weigh in on the latest pup apparel trends and category changes.
Carley Lintz
Twenty years ago, the sight of a dog in a sweater was a noteworthy occurrence; it was viewed as indulgent and silly. Today, however, there seems to be boxers in bow ties and dachshunds in dresses on every block. While the category may not be as traditional as food or toys, it is quickly becoming essential for any pet retailer.
"Rubie's Pet Shop Boutique has been the fastest growing division of Rubie's Costume Company for the past four years. I think this is because pets are becoming more and more a true member of the family," says Erin Breig, director of New York-based Rubie's Pet Shop Boutique. "I also think that pet parents tend to spoil their dogs just like they would a human baby. They are willing to splurge on them, even when they are trying to cut costs for themselves!"
Not only is it a growing category, it's a profitable one as well, according to industry experts.
"Dog garments have higher ticket prices relative to most other dog related retail items," says Gretchen George, president of PetRageous Designs. "This results in higher margins than most non-consumable pet products. They can be displayed and stocked in a small amount of space relative to the amount of dollars they can generate."
As the audience for dog apparel has expanded, so has the range of offerings from manufacturers. Today, pet parents can find everything from graphic t-shirts to Halloween costumes made for four-legged models of all sizes.
While dogs in clothes are undeniably adorable, dressing pups up isn't just about looks. Many clothing pieces actually serve a practical purpose for canines. Dogs may be blessed with more natural protection against the elements, but many breeds can use a little extra help, especially in the rain or snow.
"Modern pet parents want clothing that is built to last and is simple to use. Unlike the earlier days of dog apparel, modern pet parents now know that their dogs do get cold—depending where they live—and want to invest in a quality winter coat," says George.
The Kodiak Coat by Petrageous Designs features an outer layer made of breathable, high-denier nylon and a quilted poly/cotton lining. The effect is a durable coat that keeps dogs warm and dry, even for winter walks. Plus, it's machine washable, so pet parents don't have to worry if Fido decides to jump in a few mud puddles.
The Massachusetts-based company has also upgraded the classic dog sweater with higher quality materials. "There are cheaper sweaters for the great photo op and then there are more functionable sweaters that use heavier yarns or turtlenecks for extra warmth," says George. Carle's Cable Sweater Jacket, for instance, is made with 100 percent acrylic fibers and then lined with 100 percent polyester fleece for added warmth.
Lounge-Worthy Looks
Dog apparel trends often mirror those of their owners. So, it's unsurprising that that the focus on comfort in human clothing—think loungewear and athleisure—has made its way to the pet aisle. "Fewer people are interested in dressing up their pets in fancy outfits, casual looks are more trendy now," says Amy Yu, sales manager for Klippo Pet, Inc. "[Pet parents] are looking for outfits that are snuggly and comfortable for their pets, and our styles fit that demand."
One of the most obvious manifestations of this trend is the popularity of pet pajamas. Klippo Pet offers cozy and cute four-legged sleepwear in a wide assortment of styles, ranging from cotton knit onesies to classic flannel pajamas. All of the outfits feature fun patterns, such as monkeys, dinosaurs and cupcakes. They also conveniently include a small D-ring at the neck so charms or ID tags can be added.
Suit Up for the Season
Another major source of growth in the dog apparel category is holiday wear. Modern pet parents want to celebrate with their fur babies, and many do so by dressing them
up in fun seasonal apparel. Of course, one of the biggest times of year for festive pet attire is Halloween.
"Halloween is a family holiday nowadays. It's not just for trick or treating and kids. So, when you involve the whole family, it undoubtedly includes the pet," explains Breig.
Rubies Pet Shop Boutique definitely knows costumes. The manufacturer offers the largest selection of licensed products in the industry including many of today's most recognizable characters and franchises such as Batman, Wonder Woman, Mickey Mouse, Jurassic World, Ghostbusters and more.
Unicorns, sharks and sombreros were all big hits this year, but the most popular were Disney characters, according to Breig. "The Disney princesses, like Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, and Snow White are so popular—and also really funny because they come with mini dog princess wigs."
Dressing Up Sales
Fashion is always changing—even for pets—so one of the keys to success in this category is offering a great selection of styles and regularly refreshing stock.
"You don't have to carry the most expensive product to be successful in this category. I think that only caters to one type of consumer," says Kayti Miller, business manager
for Hong Kong City Toys. "That's why Hong Kong City Toys has been so successful. We have quality, functional and fashionable product that is affordable to all buyers."
Hong Kong City Toys specializes in variety. The manufacturer offers everything from daily wear, such as dresses, sweaters, t-shirts and pajamas, to costumes and accessories.
Another important consideration is location. Since apparel goes out of style quickly, it's crucial to get the products in front of customers early. Experts advise placing clothing in high-traffic areas towards the front of the store for best results.
"A majority of these items are seasonal, so bringing it in early and making it prominent lets the consumer know you have it. We can't stress this enough," says George.
Don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to promoting pet apparel. It's a very visual product, so utilize social media, email blasts and photos near the checkout to reach customers.
"I also always recommend costume contests around Halloween and Christmas," says Breig. "Most of the time, people are not walking into a pet store looking for a pet costume, but if they see it by the register, many won't be able to resist. And if you do a contest, a small prize like a $20 gift card is a way to get your customers back in the store!" PB

The onset of COVID-19 has severely impacted our community outreach and ability to foster the relationships that had been developed since the Golden Ray event began. The threat of COVID-19 has removed the convenience of face to face public discussions and community presentations that the Unified Command and surrounding residents appreciated.
The Unified Command will continue to explore options to address public concerns and provide community updates.
The information below is based on the discussion between the Unified Command and the public during an Online Town Hall meeting July 27, 2020. Our intention is to clarify questions and answers for improved understanding.
Q: We understand the structure is stable, but what about the structural integrity of the ship? Doesn't corrosion from seawater and the weight of the lifting lugs have an impact on the stability of the vessel?
The integrity of the ship itself has been very consistent since the end of December. We have not seen any issues with its structural integrity or movement even with the additional weight of the lifting lugs on the ship. We constantly survey and monitor the vessel with motion sensors that will alert us if there is any shifting or loss of structural integrity to ensure safe operating conditions.
Q: Doesn't the fuel remaining on the vessel pose an environmental hazard and doesn't the threat of discharge present an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health as well as the welfare of the sound and our surrounding environment? Is the Responsible Party being fined daily as dictated by the Oil and Pollution Act of 1990 where an entity is fined for failure or refusal to comply with an administrative order?
We take the responsibility of protecting the health of our responders, the public and the surrounding environment very seriously. Normally, the penalty aspects of an incident are not commingled with a pollution response, we keep those aspects separate so that the Unified Command can focus on the daily challenges of removing the motor vessel Golden Ray and mitigating any impacts as a result. While we have not had any releases lately, our response teams are ready to address any kind of threats and impacts from the vessel and the responsible party is fully engaged in funding the recovery of any discharges attributable to the Golden Ray. We are prepared to protect the people and environment of St. Simons Sound.
Q: What efforts have been made to assess the economic and ecological damages that have occurred since the Golden Ray capsized. How will our local community be compensated for the losses from the results of those damages?
We conduct regular water monitoring, air monitoring and have put a tremendous amount of time into protection of environmentally sensitive areas throughout the sound. When we are in the cutting and lifting phase, we pre-stage boom assets and specialized response teams in the event of a discharge while continuing to perform regular assessments of the sound. Our efforts are ongoing and will not stop, we will continue them through the pause period and the cutting and lifting phase.
Q: What is the rationale of transporting sawn segments to the port of Brunswick rather than Louisiana? Why will certain sections be dismantled and others not?
We're focused on the safe, expeditious removal of the Golden Ray and the threat it poses to the environment as well as maintaining the safety of responders and the public. The bow and stern sections are more structurally sound and will be placed onto a barge inside the Environmental Protection Barrier (EPB). The barge will be stabilized and moved out of the EPB to a safe haven in Brunswick to go through sea fastening which is a robust process of preparing cut pieces to safely transit from the Brunswick area to Gibson, Louisiana some 1200 miles away. The midbody sections that we have identified for partial dismantling will be secured inside the EPB and then transported to the East River site. Those sections will remain within a contained drydock to remove the vehicles. The pieces of the ship that remain will be secured to a barge and transported to Gibson, Louisiana. As we realize new or more effective ways to carry out our goals safely and successfully, we adapt our plan accordingly.
Q: Since operations are paused and the salvage operations are impacting the St Simon's Airport, will the necessary crane operations cease so FAA obstruction Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) can be updated and then updated again when salvage operations are back on?
While cutting and lifting operations are currently in pause through September, other operations supporting the final removal of the Golden Ray will continue during that timeframe. This will include crane operations that are necessary to maintain the EPB. Therefore, we are unable to adjust the current Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) at this time but, if operations change and the crane moves offsite, we will definitely work with you on that.
Q: Who is Gallagher Marine representing? Who represents the insurer that is paying?
Every vessel operating in U.S. waters is required to have a Coast Guard approved Vessel Response Plan (VRP) in which the ship owner is required to list a company, in this case Gallagher Marine Systems, that is empowered to basically act on their behalf through a contract, to commit funds, make decisions in a Unified Command setting, and hire contractors. The VRP also calls for other resource providers including an Oil Spill Response Organization and identification of the ship's insurer. The reason the ship owner is still involved is because the vessel presents a pollution threat to the environment and, in doing so, the VRP described still applies. So essentially, Gallagher Marine Systems represents both the ship owner and the insurer.
Q: Have quantitative criteria been developed to define a successful final clean up?
Yes, we have collected baseline data for water and sediment as well as surveys of the sound and the marsh areas. Elements of the Unified Command's consideration of a "successful cleanup" include ensuring soil, water and marsh are returned back to baseline conditions.
Q: Are you going to make a consistent effort to maintain public engagement because reports of COVID infection came out almost a month after the ship was supposed to be removed. Why weren't we updated about the removal timeline? The last time we had a public forum was in February.
We started having COVID-19 concerns in the first week of March and maintained our community outreach despite not having public meetings. Our COVID-19 procedures from the point until the beginning of July prevented the virus from locally impacting our responders. Due to limitations on gatherings of 10 people or less it took some time to adjust to find some kind of platform to continue doing community outreach. We have a viable platform now to provide information and plan on having more town halls like this one in the future.
The Unified Command will continue to explore options to address public concerns and provide community updates. On April 18th, 2020, the SSIResponse.com website posted a Community Outreach page that provides public information for events that the Unified Command has participated to include upcoming events.
Follow the link and you can see all the Community Outreach events that we have both hosted and participated.
Q: Is there a way for us to track releases on the website so it's public information?
We have not had an actual discharge since February. During the operation itself such as when we were preparing the drain holes, we discovered some oil in hidden compartments and which was quickly pumped out and put in containers and disposed of in accordance with Federal and State requirements. It's been several months since we've had any discharges. We've received calls about unknown sheens and we automatically take action. Our teams recovered the sheen and cleaned up the area even though it didn't appear to be a part of the response.
Update: Since the beginning of the response we have teams that regularly patrol the shorelines and beaches. Once any impact from oil is discovered they immediately clean it up whether it is from the Golden Ray or not. The claim that there was a release on Father's Day was the result of a person observing our SCAT team conducting shoreline cleanup operations at that time. The estimates from that cleanup were minimal (the Surface Residual Balls (SRB) were less than the size of a dime, approximately two pints was recovered) and were not consistent with the oiling we have previously observed from Golden Ray. The clean up was completed that same day.

Q: Is there a way for us to see a record of discharges or releases on the website so it's public information and we can track it? I notice that information appears to be outdated and we haven't had a public meeting since February. Are you going to make a consistent effort to maintain public engagement?
We understand that our website regularly tracked oil recovery and discharges during the fuel lightering phase of operations last year. As our operations have shifted into preparing the wreck site with an environmental protection barrier, the vessel for removal, and have not observed any significant discharges, we acknowledge that our website appears to be unchanged with respect to oil recovery. When we started having COVID-19 concerns in the first week of March, we maintained our community outreach despite not having public meetings. Due to limitations on gatherings of 10 people or less it took some time to adjust to find some kind of platform to continue doing community outreach. We have a viable platform now to provide information and plan on having more town halls like this one in the future. Look for updates to our website and please contact us at

with your suggestions and concerns.
Q: Does the sampling data you are collecting show impacts to areas around the sound? I've heard that 30 miles of shoreline has been oiled.
We have sampling locations at areas that were initially oiled as well as various sites in the surrounding area. To say "30 miles of impacts" overstates the data. Of over 180 miles of shoreline representatives of the Unified Command have surveyed, 25 miles have shown "very light" to "light" oil impacts. These terms are based on the professional expertise of our survey team members made up of the USCG, GA DNR and Gallagher Marine Systems. Our water sampling and air quality monitoring, resulting in hundreds of thousands of data points, have not revealed any sample that exceeds state air and water quality standards. We have not observed a data correlation of any oil components in a dissolve phase in the water or adjacent to those locations, so there is no evidence that oiling of marsh from early in the response has resulted in impacts to water quality.
Q: Why aren't we starting the Natural Resources Damage Assessment now instead of waiting until the end of the response?
Representatives of the Unified Command continue to collect water and air samples while also conducting ongoing shoreline assessments for any potential impacts. This data is collected and evaluated by trustees charged with evaluating environmental impact. As this is an ongoing response, data collection and evaluation will continue until all potential sources of pollution have been removed from St. Simon's Sound.
Q: Is there a limit to the liability that the Responsible Party (RP) has to pay?
The Oil spill liability trust fund does establish limits to how much an RP pays. The insurer and ship owner remain fully committed to funding the response and are fully engaged in supporting this response until the end.
Q: Will the ship sink lower in the sand in the next two months and how confident are you in the cutting chains?
The team of engineers, including members of the U.S. Coast Guard, working as part of the Unified Command confirm that the Golden Ray is stable and is not anticipated to move. Our salvage experts have performed cuts like this before and, with the VB 10000 as the engine, we are very confident that the cutting operation will be successful
Q: What kind of samples are you taking to measure the impacts of the Golden Ray on the sound?
Since the response began, we've collected a host of different types of samples spread out in various locations throughout the sound. While we are primarily focused on water and air quality samples analyzed for a number of contaminants attributable to the Golden Ray, we also collect sediment samples and meat samples, mostly oysters and fish. All results have come back below state regulatory guidelines. We will continue collecting samples and analyzing results throughout the duration of the response.
Q: Can you address the portion of the ship to be used as a reef? How is this possible?
The Coastal Resources Division of GA DNR has a reefing program (https://coastalgadnr.org/HERU/offshore). All portions that are deemed acceptable under that program are brought ashore and completely decontaminated and inspected prior to placement at the artificial reef. Those pieces create contouring for fish habitats in accordance with the guidelines of the state reefing plan.
Q: How effective is the environmental barrier, wouldn't a cofferdam be better?
We anticipate that the Environmental Protection Barrier will not be 100% effective in catching the majority of oil and debris. The Environmental Protection Barrier has 28 nets that completely surround the Golden Ray each having a series of five-foot holes to allow marine life to safely move around while the nets are able to capture large debris which may be released from the Golden Ray. We regularly scan the sea floor with advanced technology so that any debris that escapes the barrier will be identified and targeted for removal. No single device or strategy is perfect, so we have multiple layers of defense and equipment positioned to mitigate projected threats to the environment.
Q: What is the duration and process of demobilizing the response in terms of clean up after the vessel is removed?
We aspire to leave the Sound in as close to the same condition as it was prior to the capsizing of Golden Ray. Aside from cleaning up debris from the ship following the cut and lift, we will also dismantle the EPB, including removing the pilings. If they cannot be entirely removed, we will collaborate with the Army Corps of Engineers to cut them at the sea floor so they do not pose a hazard to navigation. We will also remove the materials we've used to deter erosion at the site, including the rocks, concrete mats, and shipping containers used as scour protection. We anticipate the dismantling of the EPB to take about three months. As a part of the demobilization, boats will perform 3-D sonar imaging surveys following the last cut and following the removal of the EPB. This same imaging will survey scour protection materials to verify that the immediate area of the wreck is clear. Our Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT) and Debris Clean-Up Assessment Technique (DART) teams will continue to monitor the area, doing shoreline surveys and looking for debris, until the State of Georgia determines that we have done our due diligence.
Questions that have been sent via written correspondence:
Q: My home is very close to the Golden Ray and I am concerned about the very loud noise to be generated by the cutting of the Golden Ray wreckage. What is being done to reduce the impact of the noise?
We have taken great lengths to ensure the safety of our responders and the public, protecting the environment, and continuing commerce. We have air quality and sound detection monitors on Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island.
Salvage operations of the Golden Ray are an extremely unique undertaking. Engineers from all over the world have worked together to develop plans to overcome the complexity of this operation. By using anchor chain to rip through the Golden Ray hull greatly reduces the risk of debris from entering the sound. We have no benchmark to gauge the sound level of the anchor chain cutting operations. We expect it to be loud, but not continuous. There will be approximately five to seven days between cuts as the cut sections are sea-fastened for transit, any debris is retrieved, and the remainder of the Golden Ray is inspected for integrity.
Q: The planning and info has been well done. However my concern is toxic smoke from the anticipated fires. Wind currents and inversions could potentially represent health and property damage. Please address this concern.
We appreciate your concerns and bringing them to our attention. Sound, air, and water quality systems have been stationed since the beginning of the response on Jekyll Island and St Simons Island that continually monitor decibel and toxicity levels. The Department of Public Health (DPH) and DNR/Environmental Protection Division (EPD) directly receives the results from the lab for all samples taken. To date, there have been no readings that have registered on the monitoring systems at Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island, even during the previous vessel fires last fall.
Once the cutting begins additional monitors will be placed on the VB10000 to detect any atmospheric hazards associated with petroleum, paint products, and combustion byproducts. A firefighting (FiFi) system has been installed on the hull of the Golden Ray that will both extinguish fires that start from the cutting and will also cool the cutting chain as it rips through the vessel.
The public will be immediately informed if there is a threat to health and safety. If you have been affected by the incident you can also file a claim by calling 1-888-850-8486.


Chill out with a dozen cool concoctions! Creamy, frozen, fruity and even healthy! I've rounded up 12 of my favorite chilly treats to help you stay cool this summer.
The dog days are here, my friends. Seriously…we got a dog. I'm seriously thinking I'm insane right now because in the midst of trying to potty train a toddler I'm now trying to housebreak a dog. And it's hot outside so the dog doesn't want to hang out there longer than a nanosecond. It's going to be a long week. Or month. Or year. I don't know, how long does it take to house train a dog?
So, to keep my cool when I'm ready to burn out (ha ha….see what I did there? I know, I'll stop.) I start whipping up some deliciousness in the kitchen. One of my favorite things to make is ice cream but I have an entire dozen cool and refreshing summertime treats that you can check out for yourself.
My absolute favorite one is the Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream which I made over a year ago and is sooooo so good. I don't think anyone else in the house even had a bite. So much for sharing is caring…right? Well, I'm sharing the recipe with you all here again just in case you missed it and are soooooo hot that you just don't have the energy to rummage through the archives. 🙂 See, I'm not so mean after all. Just keep your paws off my food.
cool off with a scoop of this delicious toasted marshmallow ice cream!
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, heat the milk, salt and 1/4 cup sugar over med-low heat until steaming but not boiling and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Add the vanilla bean paste and let stand for 1 hour.
Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Place a small bowl in the ice water and add the heavy cream. Top the small bowl with a wire strainer and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until light in color and ribbons begin to form. Reheat the milk mixture over med-low heat and slowly add to the egg mixture whisking constantly so the eggs do not scramble. Return the milk/egg mixture to the pan and heat. Stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula being sure to scrape the sides and bottom until it begins to thicken (it will coat the back of the spatula).
Strain the milk mixture into the cream, remove the strainer and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
Pour the mixture into the freezer can of an electric ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the mixture reaches soft serve consistency, add the toasted marshmallows one at a time and continue churning until combined. Use a spatula to push any marshmallows through that may stick to the churn. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer safe container and freeze.

How do law enforcement officers distinguish between hemp and marijuana?
Brevard Police Chief Phil Harris provided the following response: We have field test kits that confirm the presence of the active drug in marijuana, Tetrahydro cannabinol (THC).
Some hemp does have the same characteristics as marijuana.
Hemp also has a smaller amount of THC, so most hemp will field test positive for THC. There are more sophisticated lab tests that will distinguish the actual THC content, which is the primary difference in hemp and marijuana.

When two brothers left their small farming community in India to study at Northern Lights College, it would be a truly life-changing experience.
In May of 2013, Rohitkumar and Sumitkumar Chaudhari, supported by their small village in the western state of Gujarat, came to Fort St. John. This was a first for the village, as no one there had ever left to live in another country. The Chaudharis also were the first international students from India at NLC.
The young men, 17 and 22 years old, both enrolled in business management programs. Rohitkumar, the elder of the two, built on his Bachelor of Technology degree with a post-degree diploma. Sumitkumar pursued a Diploma in Business Management.
Not many Indian people lived in Fort St. John in 2013, so the two did attract curious attention. They were very happy that faculty and staff helped them adapt to life in Canada. As lovers of nature and the outdoors, they embraced their new home and soon became part of the community.
In 2014, while studying at NLC, both brothers started part-time jobs at Avis. Their instructors helped them apply the skills they were learning to their lives and jobs. With dedication and hard work, they were constantly learning something new about being successful employees. After graduating in May 2015, Avis offered manager positions to both. One at the airport, one at a location in town.
Rohitkumar and Sumitkumar became permanent residents in the summer of 2017. In December, Rohitkumar became father to a little girl. The family was very grateful to have a hospital in the same town they live in, as this is very different from their home in India. His parents came to welcome their first grandchild born overseas.
In addition to family bliss, the brothers received news they had been accepted to run an agency of Avis together. A year later, it is doing very well.
All of us at Northern Lights College wish them well in their new life in Canada and are so glad they have decided to make Fort St. John their home.
