Small Scale Investors

Three major problems hinder the investors from experiencing financial growth according to Brad Reifler. One of the biggest problems lies with the limitations for the non-accredited investors on the investments that they are supposed to make. The restrictions have created a large pool of small non-accredited investors who have to compete for the few investment opportunities available that have a high correlation with the stock markets. The large firms also charge the investors very high management fees which challenging to the investors.

Forefront Capital Markets Management

Reifler concern for the small investors led to the founding of the Forefront Capital. Reifler has decided to provide the investments reserved for the wealthy and the accredited investors to help the small entrepreneurs make profits. His company does not charge management fee until the investor makes 8% income. There is no correlation between the investments and the stock and equity markets. Therefore, the downside fluctuations in the market do not affect the investor.

What I want you to know. Which is everything.

Tuesday, April 05, 2005

Baby Girl!

With the passing of an admired entertainer comes the realization of the cycle of life. God giveth and he taketh away, for sure, but today He hath giveth much. Today, my brother Jason's wife, Kari gave birth to their second child, Regan Karina Martin. I'm sure what everyone wants to know is health, size, etc. But that's all pretence when what is really on my mind is this cycle thing. Not that I was a close friend of Hedberg's, I met him once, told him I liked his set and went about my jolly way. I expect and hope to form a relationship with the new niece. But, Hedberg's death had got me thinking recently about mortality and death, especially since he was only 37. (By the way, it was his heart, not drugs. He had had a condition since was born. I'm sure drugs didn't help.) And now only a couple of days after I find out about his death I find out that I have a new relative. Someone just popped up right out of thin air and joined the human race. Just like that. Some die, some are born. Some move onto the elevator as others move off. I guess that life is more like an escalator. I'm not sure why. Maybe because on an elevator you stand and wait to get off, but on an escalator you have the option of speeding forward, or standing still and just letting life...I mean the space, the rail, time, or whatever pass by. Also, look at the root words. An elevator elevates, while an escalator escalates. If we are still using the same analogy, this would suggest that the escalator kills you off quicker while the elevator allows you to reach new heights of success.

I don't think it's a perfect analogy, but nonetheless baby Regan is just stepping on, and I can't wait to meet her. It is so strange to say her. Since Aidan was born it was almost just an extension of Jason to me. A wonderful new extension, but still, he almost seemed like a new brother. I knew how to deal with brothers. I have two of them. But I can't really think of Regan as a sister because I don't have any reference for how to have a sister. And it isn't like having a sister-in-law, either, because I've got those and it's different. I love them, but we are related by marriage. Regan and I are blood. So this new baby girl thing is a completely new experience. And I love new experiences. I was telling Jason that this new baby is just as exciting as the first. I was afraid that there would be less hoopla and the second born would feel left out.

"Why aren't there as many pictures of me as a baby, dad/mom?"

"Well, sweetie, you were the second and you just don't take as many pictures on the second trip to the Grand Canyon, do you?"

Well, Regan, I was the second, too, but I'm not gonna let it happen this time. No sir! I've already started my computer file marked "ReganPics" and you will be lauded over just as much, I promise. Power to the second borns, my sister! ...Uh...niece.

ML said...

Hey Kyle,
Pictures in our family came in whatever mode your father was printing in the day. I mean, Jason was the 110 cartridge camera, you were the black and white prints that Kim would develop. Also he worked for a photo lab and a lot of your pictures are on large printsheets that hold a roll of film. We had all good intentions of printing them out. We were going to save money that way. But you are welcome to see them anytime...just give me notice so I can hunt for them.

We love you.

This experience takes me straight back to the time 44 years ago when I DID get a new sister. It was a totally new and exciting experience. I still remember coming home after Mom had returned from the hospital, and there in the bed with her was my new sister. The thing I remember about Ferryn was that from the very first, it seems, she was smiling. And she hasn't stopped smiling. We were at the ball game with her and Steve tonight. It's still great having a sister, and I hope Regan is as happy and fun to be around as Ferryn. I also hope Aidan treasures and enjoys his sister as much as I did mine.

Jason said...

I think simply by virtue of being a girl in a male-dominated family she will be lauded over. I want to do everything I did with Aidan, but I honestly can't remember what I did. The last two years have really clouded my expectations. I had to go back and reread What to Expect the First Year to remember that it will be a little while before she can even hold her head up.

One thing I am sure of, though, is that Aidan will (and already does) cherish Regan. He loves her, comforts her, and will soon enjoy playing with her. Sure, they'll have their fair share of fights, but I can already see the bond developing between them.

Ho, Ho Ho!

Ok, so I have had these done for awhile now. . .

. . . and have been waiting till my daughter in law got her mantel finished and decorated before I posted any photos. She wanted a a homespun look for her stockings. While they are not "primitive" they are made with homespun fabrics and each has a simple basic applique--perfect for their rustic fireplace.
I ironed a yard of off-white flannel and traced the pattern for the cuff 5 times onto the yardage. Then, with my purple air-dry fabric marker, I free-handed all the names in primitive stitchery letters. With black pearl cotton, I used giant stitches to make all the names.  When the stitching was done, I cut out the cuffs, and attached them to the rest of the stocking.

Each applique has a few simple 3-dimensional embellishments.
Dad's gingerbread man has his buttons and is holding a candy cane button.
These stars have snowflake buttons . . .
My 6 year old grandson, Cam, was here the day I finished stitching on the appliques.  I was going to give him the gingerbread man stocking, but he said, "I call the tree!"
I said, "don't you want the gingerbread man?"  He replied, "No, It looks more like Dad, he can have the gingerbread man."  Of course, he also wanted lots more decorations on his tree.
Another snowflake button for a star and little ornament buttons.  JoAnn's had the cutest button assortment.

This wooden snowflake was the perfect touch for Mom's mitten.
It gently dangles from a loop of nubby yarn.
The pine cone is actually a button; the branch is not, but is sewn on by hand.
As you can see, the cuffs are also 3D and the back of each stocking matches the fabric on the front.
The stockings are hung from a rustic cedar mantel that our son made for their new house.  He also installed recessed LED lights under the mantel and electrical outlets on the top.

~Merry Christmas~

What We’re Reading: Teens’ Top Ten

I’m working my way down the list of the 2009 Teens’ Top Ten books, recently announced during Teen Read Week (see blog below for the entire list). I’m having a hard time doing it, however, because the books are all so popular that I can never find one on the shelves! This week, however, I managed to grab The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, by E. Lockhart, in between check-outs. I have wanted to read it ever since we bought it for the collection, just because I love the name. I’m happy to say that the book lives up to its quirky and provocative title.

Frances Rose “Frankie” Landau-Banks is a legacy girl at Alabaster Prep, an "exclusive, expensive and academically rigorous" boarding school in Massachusetts. She has blossomed during the summer from a gawky freshman with frizzy hair to a sleek sophomore who, on her first day back, attracts the attention of senior Matthew Livingston. Golden boy Matthew never before noticed her existence, even though she was introduced to him at least twice last year by her older sister. Becoming Matthew’s girlfriend admits her to his inner circle, and she soon discovers that she has fallen in love with his friends and the relaxed and secure atmosphere they project.

But Frankie soon realizes that she is excluded from something all the others are a part of, just by reason of gender: The Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds. Her father was a Basset back when he was at Alabaster, but it’s an all-male secret society, and Frankie can’t pry any details out of her father or her new friends. Her frustration, combined with a class she’s taking called “Cities, Art and Protest” and a little inspiration from P. G. Wodehouse galvanizes Frankie: She’s smarter than the Bassets, she’s more creative, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make everyone at Alabaster sit up and take notice. Frankie, with her irreverence and daring, is a great addition to Lockhart’s list of heroines.

E. Lockhart is also the YA author of the Ruby Oliver books (The Boyfriend List, The Boy Book, The Treasure Map of Boys), as well as Fly on the Wall, Dramarama, and How to Be Bad (with Sarah Mlynowski and Lauren Myracle). Disreputable History was also a Printz Award honor book, a finalist for the National Book Award, and recipient of the Cybils Award for best young adult novel.

Police Blotter

Rooftop AC and furnace makes for expensive heist

BURTON — Between midnight and 6 a.m. on Nov. 22, a Bristol Road business was subjected to a rooftop larceny. According to the owner, a 59- year-old Grand Blanc man, three heating and cooling units positioned on the roof of the building were stolen during the early morning hours. Police arrived and checked out the premises where they confirmed the shells of three heating and cooling units that were torn apart so the compressors could be extracted. The equipment was valued at $20,000 and police are still looking for suspects in the case.

Old home of former Burton residents ransacked

BURTON — A Grand Blanc family who used to live on Robindale Drive was checking up on their former home when they got a nasty surprise on Nov. 21. The 32-year-old mother called police after noticing major damage to the house around 3 p.m. Much of the home’s copper piping was removed in addition to a window air conditioning unit. Open doors and broken windows allowed standing water and leaves to collect inside the house. The family told officers they had recently been checking on the house more frequently and the looting could have occurred within the past two days. The case is under investigation.

B & E yields salvaged goods

BURTON — Copper piping and an air conditioning unit proved to be what criminals were looking for in a residential breaking and entering that occurred on Nov. 17. A realty agent notified police of the stripping of the house that involved copper salvage, a broken basement window and the disappearance of the air conditioner, valued at $6,000. A Lapeer-based realty company currently owns the Pear Tree Drive house. Police are searching for suspects in the case. — Compiled by Amanda Durish- Cook

These standard dimensions are general guidelines, not hard rules, and are material type and thickness dependent. Call or email with your particular details to see how we can work for you.

Material type and thickness dependent – standard dimensions

OD minimum/maximum: 2” – 58”

Height maximum: 20”

Minimum corner radius > material thickness. For instance, 16 gage steel (.059” thick) needs a radius of more than .059”. The greater the radius dimension, the deeper the part can be spun before breaking the material.
Up to a point, the thicker the material is, the deeper that can be drawn.

3 Important Portrait Photography Basics You Need To Know

3 Important Portrait Photography Basics You Need To Know

Portrait or portraiture is one of the most interesting genres of photography. When taken properly, it can dramatically deliver the mood, personality, character, story, and essence of the subject—normally, a person. But more than having an expensive DSLR and a stunning subject, some portrait photography basics have to be learned in order to create a smashing portrait that produces the intended result.

Check Your Camera Settings and Choose the Right Lens

One important portrait photography basics that is often misunderstood particularly by beginning photographers is their camera settings. How you adjust your camera settings greatly affects the outcome of your portrait. If you’re aiming for classic portrait photography, you have to remove anything that’s distracting from the background of the shot. Use wide apertures to produce a shallow depth-of-
field— f/2.8 or f/4. Moreover, lower your ISO settings; otherwise, it can create digital noise on your photograph.
On the other hand, choosing a lens that would flatter your subject is more important than buying every top of the line camera lens in the market today. The rule of thumb for head and shoulder portraits is that the length of your lens should be double the diagonal of the film plane or in the case these days the digital sensor. Among the recommended lens for portrait photography are Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L
IS II USM, Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Lens, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens, and Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Lens.

When it comes to photography basics, lighting is largely emphasized. This is because, no matter how striking your subject is, your prop, and even your location, a poor lighting can destroy the message you want to convey in your photograph. Unlike doing portrait photography in a studio where lighting can be 100% controlled, outdoor location demands a more challenging task. Sunlight will practically become
your major source of light in your portrait, and therefore, you should understand how to use it properly. That means, knowing where to position your subject without going against the light and bringing with you some white cardboard or aluminum sheet you can use to bounce reflected light.

Make Your Subject Relaxed

Engaging your subject in a conversation is one way to make him/her feel relaxed. Sadly, even the most professional model can get fidgety in front of a photo shoot especially if they are uncomfortable with the photographer taking their pictures or with the prop they have on themselves.

suggestions. Interacting with your subject is an important photography basics tip you would get not only from many photography books but also from the more seasoned photographers.

10 Things You Didn’t Know You Had to Have for your Cabin

Bat house

10 Incredible Things You Didn’t Know You Needed for your Cabin or Cottage

Gadgets that don’t have a purpose can be fun for a little while, but end up collecting dust.  Some “gadgety” items end up being incredibly practical, efficient items that once you have, you wonder how you ever lived without.  We put our team together to create a list of 10 items that we were a little skeptical about at first, but now think should go on the “must have” list for any cabin or cottage owner.

BLACK+DECKER LLP120B Bare Max Lithium Ion Alligator Lopper Saw

Yes, it looks really cool, but the Lopper Saw is no gadget. Working on managing trees and bushes around a cabin and on trails can be back-breaking work, but with a Lopper Saw it is a piece of cake.  Check that, it is actually sort of fun and cathartic. It runs via a powerful battery, but you will want to get two so you can work without interruption.
MistyMate 16031 Cool Patio 30 Deluxe Outdoor Misting Kit

You have probably experienced the relief that a misting fan can deliver if you have walked through your local big hardware store’s garden center, or walking through the produce section at your favorite market on a hot summer day when the overhead misters go off. You can easily create that constant relief with this outdoor misting kit.

Readaeer® BamBoo Reading Rest Cookbook Cook Book Stand Holder Bookrest

Being at your cabin or cottage means taking the time for the simple things that we tend to forget how much we enjoyed- like cooking. Cooking with the family or someone special is a great opportunity to bond and to relax. Add the fun of exploring a new recipe together and it is a time for making memories. The cookbook holder is such a common sense, practical item, and once you start using it, you will wonder how you ever went without.

Global Air 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Cooling /Fan with Remote Control in White

Even in relatively cool places in the country, the summer can be brutal out in the country or in the woods without a proper plan for staying cool.  There are many things you can do to manage the temperature in the house, but having a device to at least keep one or two rooms perfectly comfortable is critical. This model meets several criteria: it is powerful, a good price, and even has a remote control. On a particularly hot and humid day, close the doors, draw the blinds and curtains, and let this guy do his thing.

Schumacher SE-1052 50/10/2 Amp Manual Starter/Charger

Don’t ever get in a bind with a dead car / boat / off-road vehicle / snowmobile, etc. when you have this quick charger. It simply plugs in to an outlet, and you charge what needs charging. Once you get this and need to use it once, you will find it is a perfect gift for almost anyone.

Attwood WaterBuster Portable Pump

Water can be the biggest enemy of a cabin or cottage, and when it is in the wrong place, you need to remove it quickly. A lot of water pumps are very hard to move around, and most of the bilge pumps out there need to be wired into an external marine battery which is a pain and a bit scary. This pump runs on standard batteries, and you just set it right in the sitting water, attach it to a garden hose and walk away.

Looker Products Triple Chamber Bat House, Approved by the Organization for Bat Conservation

The first thing any of us tell someone we know that is buying or building a cabin or cottage is to put up a bat house. There is a lot you can do to keep the bugs at bay, but nothing compares to allowing our little bat friends do their work nightly. Environmentalists love these, and for good reason… we need more bats. But it is ok to do it for selfish reasons at well, as once you get a healthy amount of bats in your bat house, your bug problems will be a thing of the past.

Solar Lights Outdoor Motion Sensor

If you are one of the lucky ones, you have a cabin where it is quiet and free of the light pollution of the city.  That means it gets really dark at night and you probably have some critters around that can come around once the sun goes down. This solar-powered, motion detecting external light can provide instant light when you approach the home at night, and will scare away pesky animals.
pH RECHARGE Alkaline Water Ionizer Machine

No matter how efficiently you set up your Water Treatment System at your cabin, that final step can take your water from good to exceptional.  Also, often guests or family members need that comforting visual evidence that the water is safe. This is the king of water purifying pitchers, and the end product is perhaps the best water you have ever tasted.

Wemo Mini Smart Plug, Wi-Fi Enabled, Works with Amazon Alexa

Ironically, as much as the “smart outlet” craze has taken off, we believe they are far more practical for people with cabins or cottages than for permanent residents. Afterall, if you are at a place most of the time, the value of controlling anything that plugs in is not as great as a place that is empty often and that you come and go. We love these wi-fi outlets because they are easy to set up, you can control them from a free mobile app, and you can also have devices that are plugged in turn on and off on a timer.

We recommend the new Amazon grocery delivery service. Great for cabin owners:

Best Bath Towels for Kids

The Best Towels for Kids: 100% Medical Grade Natural Antibacterial,super Water Absorbent,soft and Comfortable,suitable for Baby’s Delicate Skin,cotton Gauze Warm Baby Bath Towels

Thumbs Up - Rustic Furniture, Outdoor Gear, and Cabin Essentials

Why We Recommend This

The softest, thickest, most absorbent, most gentle towels you will ever own.  Perfect for you children, people with sensitive skin, or let’s be honest, anyone that appreciates luxury in a towel.

Kids, baths and bath towels! Baths can be a very challenging event if you are not prepared. Make sure you have plenty of bath towels handy when the children are in the bath. Once they are finished, they will want to dry off. If the towels are not readily available, you may lose one of the kids as they bolt around the house, soaking wet.

It’s important that your bath has plenty of bath toys that will not hurt the children’s feet if they step on them or toys that they could choke on. For younger children, these toys will help relax them, while keeping them occupied as you wash behind their ears and scrub their feet.

If your child has had a rough day and needs a little extra nurturing, try a kid-friendly foot soak. This will help your child to slow down for a moment and reboot. For some kids, these are a wonderful alternative to a show or bath at bedtime. Make sure you have a few extra bath towels to put under the foot bath to soak up any spills and to dry wet feet. Try using a small handful of Epsom Salts to aid tired or achy muscles or maybe liquid bubble bath soap. End the foot bath by drying your child’s feet with a soft towel.

Tough days can feel a little easier when you end the day by wrapping your beautiful, clean baby, or child, snug and cozy in a clean, fresh towel.

Harworthia Care

Harworthia are a kind of succulents whose origin is in South Africa.  They are closely related to Aloes and are in the Aloe family, Aloaceae.  Harworthia can be rotten easily if you don't know the right conditions for Harworthia: soil, watering and light

 Soil: Harworthia like the dry soil and can't stay wet for the long time.  So their soil mix should be drained very well.

This can be accomplished by making a potting soil using as a component materials such as; perlite, pea sized pumice, or even pea gravel.   The trick here is to produce a soil that has some organic mater, but not so much that it becomes water logged and rots your plants roots

Do not use sand as it is too fine and clogs the pores in the soil. If using a peat-based potting soil, remember that peat decomposes in a few years, resulting in an unhealthy soil. As some Haworthias are slow-growing and can stay in the same pot for years, there may be a tendency to forget to repot into fresh soil, a practice which should be done every 2-3 years.

Watering: It's simple instruction: "water Harworthia when its soil is dry"  I got a tip from the Thai cactus collector to test whether the soil is dry or wet: dig the tooth stick into the soil and see if the soil is damp You can apply another thing instead of tooth stick.

If the plant looks unhealthy, unpot it and inspect the roots. Remove any weak or decayed roots, even back to the stem of the plant. Allow the plant to lie out unpotted for a week, then repot into fresh soil and begin watering carefully until it is apparent that the roots have reestablished and the plant has regained its health.

Light: To put a plant in direct sunlight that has never seen the sun will cause a fatal sunburn.  If you place your Haworthias in the brightest light you have that is not direct sunlight, you will grow into very nice looking plants.  For growing, a greenhouse is ideal, next choose a sunny South facing window, then an East or West facing window.

Haworthia makes good accent plants on porch, patio, or deck and can be grown outdoors during frost-free periods. Be careful when you move plants outdoors. If they have spent the winter without much direct sunlight, don’t immediately put them into full sun outdoors or they may sunburn. Gradually move them into more direct light over a period of a few weeks.

Harworthia is the slow-growing plant so it doesn't need much fertilizer.  If you repot Harworthia often (every year), you don't have to fertilizer.  Anyway, when I fertilize my orchid, I  give some to my harworthia in the few amount.

If you want to know more about Harworthia such as popular propagation from leaves & roots, containers and pest & disease.  I'd like to suggest you to visit the useful websites: and

Former police chief Hanson says he's still fighting organized crime, now inside the pot industry

Rick Hanson, CBEC Chair of the Calgary Bid Exploration Committee speaks to media after he delivered its 5,400-page report to City Council Monday on Monday July 24, 2017. DARREN MAKOWICHUK/Postmedia Network Darren Makowichuk, DARREN MAKOWICHUK/Postmedia Darren Makowichuk / DARREN MAKOWICHUK/Postmedia

Share Adjust Comment Print

Rick Hanson spent four decades in policing — more than seven of those years as Calgary’s chief — where he made a career out of fighting organized crime and the local drug trade.

Nearly three years into his retirement, it may come as a surprise that he is now heavily involved in the cannabis industry.

But Hanson said Wednesday he is among a growing number of former senior police officers from across Canada who are leveraging their experiences to ensure legalization is done safely while eliminating criminals from the supply chain.

“There are a tonne of risks,” said Hanson, an adviser at the Canadian Cannabis Chamber of Commerce and a senior vice-president at Merrco, an online payment processing firm for marijuana sales.

“You just don’t go into the organized crime world and say, ‘Thank you very much, we’re doing this now,’ and they go, ‘Oh, OK; we’ll just find something else to do.’ ”

As Calgary’s police chief, Hanson was opposed to legalization, having argued alongside then-premier Alison Redford that loosening marijuana laws would send the wrong message to Canadians, especially youth, that using the drug is acceptable, despite health risks.

Hanson said his previous reservations have been rendered meaningless by the federal government’s decision to make Canada the first G7 nation to legalize cannabis.

“That ship sailed,” he said, adding he remains concerned about pot’s impact on the developing minds of youth.

Now, he said the question is whether governments can approve distribution and retail models that restrict access for youth and prevent illicitly made marijuana from entering the retail chain.

He isn’t alone in turning his attention to the nascent industry, expected to be worth billions in annual sales.

Former Toronto police chief Bill Blair, now a Liberal MP, has been leading the charge to legalize cannabis in government. Julian Fantino, a former Ontario Provincial Police commissioner and Toronto police chief, is executive chairman of the medical cannabis firm Aleafia.

Raf Souccar, a former RCMP deputy commissioner, faced conflict of interest allegations after serving on the federal task force for legalizing cannabis and later becoming CEO of Aleafia, though he rejected the claims, according to the National Post.

Hanson believes in strong controls around the production and distribution of cannabis, worried retailers could be “owned and operated by frontmen for organized crime. Who’s doing that check?

“Who’s doing the check on the product coming through the backdoor that’s going to be sold?”

Hanson backs the publicly run model adopted by Ontario, which plans 150 stores by 2020, beginning with a batch of 40, all run by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.

The country’s largest province, he said, recognizes “they want to legalize, but they don’t want to normalize. They’re not going to have cannabis stores on every corner; they know that normalizes it in the eyes of kids.”

Hanson wouldn’t say whether he believes Alberta should follow suit with a publicly run system, noting it’s up to the government to “weigh all the facts and come out with a model that will address the serious issues and concerns.”

Still, the former chief’s position places him at odds with the leadership of the Canadian Cannabis Chamber of Commerce, where Hanson serves as public safety adviser.

Peter Pilarski, the group’s president, said the chamber philosophically believes the government should set the rules for retailers and “get out of the way.” He said private stores stand a better chance of stamping out the black market because there is more opportunity to cut costs and diversify product lines to meet different target markets.

“Everybody’s allowed to have their own opinion,” Hanson said. “I come from a different perspective. I present the challenges as they need to be addressed. If there is a fundamental difference in philosophy, then so be it. It’s healthy in an organization, such as that, to be aware of all the arguments and all the challenges.”

Alberta has tapped the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission as the sole wholesaler for cannabis, a move meant to ensure only regulated pot grown by federally licensed producers is sold in Alberta.

But the province hasn’t revealed whether it will follow Ontario’s lead for retail or adopt a private model, such as one rolled out this week by Manitoba, which has asked provincial authorities to oversee and regulate the market, with private companies running the stores.

The Alberta government said last month that online sales may not be initially allowed, given concerns that current technology cannot verify consumers ordering and receiving the pot are old enough.

Hanson, who believes online sales are critical to make pot available to all adults without normalizing use among youth, has attempted to change the government’s mind. He’s a senior executive at a company that uses credit card information to verify up to 200 data points, including age, to verify a consumer is legally allowed to buy pot in their province.

The former police chief has registered as a lobbyist to convince Alberta Justice and the premier’s office that online sales “can be implemented with all the regulations applied at the time of ordering.”

“I’m actually convinced that they considered the feedback,” he said.

Alberta is expected to release new details of its cannabis plans with new legislation this winter.

Harper Government Supports Seafood Exports

April 15, 2015 03:16 PM

Richmond, British Columbia – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

British Columbia's seafood harvesters will receive support to help promote and increase export demand for Canadian Pacific sea urchins and sea cucumber skins and meats to new and emerging markets. Hon. Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., MP for Delta—Richmond East and Minister of National Revenue, on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, today announced an investment of over $164,000 to the Pacific Sea Cucumber Harvesters Association and the Pacific Urchin Harvesters Association to support their international marketing efforts.

Quick facts

  • Exports of Pacific sea cucumber were valued at $12 million and $9.8 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
  • Exports of Pacific sea urchins were valued at over $13 million in 2012, with approximately 75% of the harvest exported to Japan.
  • These investments are being made through Growing Forward 2's AgriMarketing Program (Market Development stream), which aims to build and promote Canada's ability to expand markets at home and abroad.

"Our Government is proud to support these two British Columbia seafood organizations in their efforts to increase their global market share by promoting their products' high quality, safety, nutritional value and sustainability. These industries are generating much needed economic activity in rural and coastal areas."

Hon. Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., MP for Delta—Richmond East and Minister of National Revenue

"The funding provided by AAFC has been, and remains, essential to our efforts to find and obtain the best markets and prices we can for our sea cucumber products. This project has allowed us to grow so we, as Canadian fishermen, processors and exporters, along with many Canadian trade representatives, are working more closely together to deliver better products and services to some of the world's fastest growing seafood markets, namely Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, as well as other parts of Asia.

Ken Ridgway, President of the PSCHA

"Canada's dive fisheries are among the most sustainable fisheries in the world and provide a range of high quality products enjoyed by consumers around the world. Production from the BC Red Sea Urchin fishery is exported to many markets and, while Japan remains our largest single export destination, sales to Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese Mainland are on the rise in large part because of our international marketing efforts. Our marketing program is well received thanks to the support provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the AgriMarketing Program. We are proud to be part of theGrowing Forward 2 initiative in presenting the best of Canada to the world.

Jinx on 'The Curious Adventures of Musicians in Horror'

Uncle P's first guest is Jinx, a lovely British lass who writes the horror blog Totally Jinxed.  She has a very British sense of humor and like me, often loves the more absurd aspects of really bad horror movies. Enjoy!

I was clearly born to be a rock star, I think that’s obvious, I’ve got the tattoos, the massive hair and I own a lot of leather and leopard print. Clearly all evidence points to my inherent rock staredness, except for one thing – I was tragically born with absolutely no musical talent whatsoever. None at all. It’s shocking. I can’t even clap in time. There are also several restraining orders in place that prevent me from even singing in company because it’s so horrible. I truly have the voice of tonally challenged deaf banshee. It’s quite tragic really, you should pity me.

Some people, though, don’t have this problem. Some people are so chock full of talent it’s brimming over, brimming over to such an extent the rock cannot contain it and it has to spurt majestically into other areas (I achieve much the same effect when I try to wear skinny jeans) and often the area it spurts into is horror, and we get to enjoy the bountiful outpourings.

Dee Snyder, Strangeland (1998):

In the 80s Dee Snider confused a lot of dads as the androgynous frontman of Twisted Sister. In the 90s Mr. Snider turned his considerable talent to horror to star in the self-penned Strangeland as sadistic madman Captain Howdy.  Captain Howdy enjoys heavy piercing, tattoos, suspension and long walks on the beach. As Captain Howdy Dee judges the nation’s kids as badly in need of experiencing the necessary rites of passage into adulthood, and by ‘rites of passage’ he means being locked up in his basement and ritualistically tortured by way of excessive piercing. He achieves this goal by using that new fangled internet thingy that all the kids are into.

 Meatloaf, Wishcraft (2002):

Mr. Loaf has done his bit for the film industry; The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fight Club, that perennial classic Spiceworld: The Movie, he’s done his bit and no one can say he hasn’t. He’s also done his bit for horror starring in a Tales from the Crypt ,the Masters of Horror Dario Argento directed Pelts and more recently Burning Bright. He also starred in Wishcraft, and Wishcraft is hil-ar-ious.

High school geek Brett Bumpers (hilarious in itself) receives bull cock in the mail that, somewhat surprisingly for the unmentionables of a bull, has the power to grant three wishes to whomever owns it. Turns out Brett isn’t as bright as his geek status might lead you to believe and he promptly wastes his cock wishes in pursuit of the resident high school hotty. While this inept wishing is going on obnoxious teens start dying at the hands of an inhumanly strong maniac. Meat Loaf investigates. I would watch a show called Meat Loaf Investigates. I imagine it would be kind of like The Equaliser but with extra Meat Loaf. Note to self: get my people to contact Meat’s people, (by ‘my people’ I suspect I mean my cats.) Meat Loaf plays Detective Sparky Shaw who gamely embarks on a bumbling hunt for the killer.

Lordi, Dark Floors (2008):

When Finnish pantomime metal band Lordi made history in 2006 by winning the Eurovision Song Contest* with a record 292 points I thought it was awesome. I actually watched it and was excited by the absurd defiance of the whole affair. When Lordi appeared in their first big-screen feature Dark Floors my overriding emotion was slightly different, I can only describe it as being heartily baffled.

Lordi (They look kind of like Gwar to Uncle P)

A group of people get stranded in a hospital when it unexpectedly transpires it is actually a portal to another dimension. (Coincidently, tha tlast sentence is also my prediction for the star sign Aries today). Occasionally a member Lordi shows up and everyone runs away in a manner reminiscent of Scooby Doo. This goes on for a long time. Bizarre, silly and confusing, but with a high rock quotient.

*High camp meeting of all Europe’s apparently least talented performers who compete to be designated the least awful act. Voting by the competing countries is hilariously political, needless to say Britain never wins, however, to be fair, Britain also has a habit of picking laughingly embarrassing acts, with the dubious exception of Bucks Fizz who took their clothes off to victory in 1981.  As a nation we have never forgotten this, much same as how we continually harp on about the 1966 World Cup. We are a great nation.

Deborah ‘Debbie’ Gibson, Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus, (2009):

In the 80s Debbie Gibson was the blonde teen pop icon, pop today can’t hold a candle to her bubblegumness, she pisses on Brittany – metaphorically speaking, of course. She wrote her own songs and everything. Go, Gibson!

In recent years she has fittingly brought her peculiar brand of nostalgia to the horror genre starring in a variety of ‘mockbusters’ for the SyFy channel.

A bizarre ecological accident ,which seemingly serves as a warning to us all of the ramifications of mixing made up silly science and poor quality CGI without adequate safety precautions, unleashes two prehistoric monsters hellbent on eating everything in sight. Deb obviously plays an oceanographer charged to curtail the beasts’ feeding frenzy.

Go, go Gibson Mini-sub!

My favourite thing about any given SyFy movie is always ‘the science bit’ the bit where they irrationally ‘explain’ precisely why a giant worm/fish/moth/whatever is inexplicably attacking the general populace. There’s tons of illogical science in Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus, including one protracted scene where lots of sciencey liquid is continually transported between many test tubes for no apparent reason. Ultimately though the whole thing is solved by Deb having sex with another scientist, as all the best things are. Go, science!

Science in Action!

Strangely I’ve just realised that 3 out of 4 of my rock horror stars have made appearances in the Celebrity Apprentice, I am unsure what conclusion to draw from this statistic. However, I will say that Meat Loaf having an epic tantrum with Gary Busey because he thought he’d stolen his crayons was possibly my favourite TV moment from last year. TV gold!

Jinx will return in Further Adventures of Musicians in Horror at a Totally Jinxed near you.

Jinx is a horror blogger from the UK. She likes whiskey and getting tattooed and she apologizes for any drop in quality at Caliban’s Revenge today, she accepts that it is solely her responsibility and in no way reflects on the talents of Prospero who is obviously awesome to the max.

Uncle P, here. I promise I didn't make Jinx say that, but I love that she did. She's pretty awesome, herself!

More, anon.

About the story

Sammi's robed legs

It’s 1955 and Delores Sarjeant has just found her calling: taking pictures of the gorgeous Sammi Brill. Sammi got her start in modeling working for Delores’s dad, the famous pin-up painter Gael Sarjeant. Delores and Sammi have a special rapport, creating some of the most indelible, iconic images of the fifties. Delores knows just the way to bring a flush to Sammi’s cheek before turning the camera on her.

Too bad Gael is going to explode if Delores tries to sell any of those photos. And Sammi won’t sign a model release. And Delores is living in her parent’s house, about to turn thirty, with no way to support herself. She has to choose: stability with the long-term partner she spurned, or independence and heart-racing excitement with Sammi?

California Four O’Clock is a stylish, gripping family drama set in mid-century Los Angeles. It’s about painting vs. photography, queer identity in a time of great repression, California’s car obsession, and that big bang moment of culture being forged by a shutter click. It’s about about daughters and fathers, daughters and mothers, lovers and partners, and what it’s like to fight the ghost of a self you haven’t yet outgrown.

About the book

Playboy in the garbage

California Four O'Clock is a beautifully designed hardbound book, produced in a limited edition of 500 copies.

It has an illustration at the top of every chapter by the incredbile Vicki Nerino, full-color wraps also illustrated by her, and a lush interior, designed for both a great reading experience, and as an object in of iteslf.

California Four O'Clock was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign in March of 2015. 294 people came together to raise $12,786 to fund this small run of the book. Once these copies are gone, there are no plans to produce more. Make sure you get your copy!

Interview with the author

Stockings over the back of the chair

Q: Why did you write about Pin-ups?

A: After three of my friends, independently, hired photographers to shoot pin-up or boudoir photos of themselves, I was curious about the appeal of the pin-up, especially to women. For my friends, modeling for their own photos where they controlled the experience, it was a way to express their sexuality, without the stigma of more modern sexual expressions. As the public gaze of male sexuality turned to Playboy and other nudie magazines, and then to harder pornography in the 70s and beyond, women in the 80s who were interested in fashion and vintage culture could safely adopt the pin-up as an avatar, largely without repercussion. I wrote an essay on this, published on

Additionally, two historical figures captured my attention: Bunny Yeager, who started as a model and then turned the camera around to shoot iconic photos of Bettie Page, and others. She was the first woman to have photographs published in Playboy, and made a living as a woman in a very male-dominated field.

Second, Gil Elvgren, whose lush, bright, healthy American women were rendered with a kind of luxuriant glow. His painting style was unique and remarkable, both for its almost neon-brightness, but also for its sumptuous tones and careful rendering. His output was amazing, and his pay, from advertising to his contract with publisher Brown & Bigelow, was legendary for its time.

Both of these artists — commercial artists, to put a fine point on it — embodied one of the biggest artistic struggles of the 20th century: painting vs. photography.

With this grounding, the story of the characters came together very quickly.

Q: Why did you publish on Kickstarter?

A: I’m a designer, and I wanted to make a little jewel, a special-edition of a book to my specifications. I also knew, as a straight man writing about queer culture in the 50s, that I was a bit of a hard sell to a traditional publisher. I decided to launch the book in such a way where I could guide the experience, and, for better or worst, present the book that I wanted in a limited way, for a select few. Thankfully, I struck a chord, and I raised $12,785 to make the hardcover.

A digital edition followed in 2016, widely available through Amazon and iTunes.

Your Review/Comments

Sanel AKA, 22.11.2008

Construction began in 2004 and the first two phases are scheduled to open in 2009 while the third and final phase is scheduled for 2015. The airport will be built over 22 square kilometers which half is on reclaimed land.[1]

The airport was designed primarily to deal with the growing amounts of traffic at the airport. To the first end, the airport will be able to handle 24 million annual passengers at its opening, three times as many as the current airport capacity. Upon final completion, it will be able to handle 50 million passengers. However, the menareport.com financial news website said that the expected capacity would be up to 93 million passengers, making it the second largest capacity holder in the region after Dubai[2], it is also expected to handle 320,000 aircraft movements a year, and 2 million tonnes of annual cargo. The check-in and retail areas are expected to be 12 times as large than as at the current airport (two-thirds the size of Doha[3]). Moving walkways will be installed to handle the traffic. It will have a 3 star transit hotel and one 5 star luxury hotel. A catering service will be provided, catering of 75,000 meals a day.

The airport is being given oasis theming. Many of the buildings will be water-themed, with waved roofs and desert plants being grown in recycled water.

To emphasize its modernity, a massive environmental project has sprung up around the airport. A portion of the site is being built on top of a landfill, which was moved to a cleaner and better organized facility. It became the largest landfill relocation in the Gulf region. The airport will be equipped with heat and occupancy CO2 sensors, and the roof will be tinted to conserve energy.

NDIA Steering Committee has awarded Bechtel to develop the airport. The contract includes the design, construction management and project management of the new facilities. About 32 Contracts Packages are planned to be awarded to subcontractors on the airport construction.

Site works for Phase I Development commenced at site since March 2004. Schedule of works as of September 2008 :

a) Construction completed : Site mobilization; Excavation & removal of rubbish tip; Reclamation; Engineered Landfill; Passenger Terminal Foundation

b) Construction in progress : Passenger Terminal Complex; Emiri Terminal Parking Structure & Mosque; Airfield Paving & Road Tunnel; Utility System; Airside/Landside Roadways; Airport Operation Facilities; Fuel System; Air Traffic Control .

c) Design in progress : Landscaping & Irrigation; & Support Facilities; Airline Engineering & Operation Facilities.

d) Contract Formatting : Airline Support Facilities; Catering Facility; CAA Headquarter Facility; Aircraft Maintenance Hangar; Terminal Access Tunnel & Cross Taxiways.

Phase II works include expanding the passenger terminal to cater for 24 million passengers annually, with the expansion of further airport facilities, there will be 22 remote gates with 40 contact gates with a cargo facility cable of handling 750,000 tonnes of cargo per year.

To ensure the success of the project, Bechtel implements a stringent management style at site, from the appointment of subcontractors' key personnel down to the vehicle moving speed at site. Subcontractors maybe removed from the site due to nonperformance or noncooperation, exceeding the speed limit, etc.

Phase I and II works are scheduled to be completed in 2009.

Garden Grove Man Arrested For Aiding Al Qaeda

Gary Fouse

Sinh Vinh Ngo Nguyen, 24, was arrested yesterday by the FBI in Santa Ana as he was about to board a bus to Mexico. He is charged with attempting to aid and abet al Qaeda. (Isn't that what our government is doing in Syria?)

In response, the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California has issued the below statement.

What raises a question here is that Nguyen is from Garden Grove, California in Orange County.  I am wondering if he was attending the Islamic Center of Orange County mosque in Garden Grove, which is under Imam Muzammil Siddiqi, past president of the Islamic Society of North America and head of the above Islamic Shura Council of Southern California. If so, Nguyen would not be the first person from that mosque to be charged with al Qaeda connections. Adam Gadahn, who is still a fugitive, also came out of that mosque.

New Court Documents Reveal Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's Final Moments

Gary Fouse

A firefight in which Border Patrol agents were firing bean bags at drug traffickers using weapons from Operation Fast and Furious

Thanks to newly-released court documents, we now have an account from Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's fellow agents of the firefight in the Arizona desert that took Terry's life. The mainstream news media will surely ignore it, but this story should never be allowed to die.

"Among other details, they reveal two of four federal agents at the scene that day actually fired bean bags -- not bullets -- at a violent drug gang carrying assault rifles. Weapons from the botched anti-gun trafficking program were found at Terry's murder scene."

Bean bags.

"Those agents, members of BORTAC, an elite unit within the Border Patrol, had deployed in the desert to locate a drug gang, known as a rip crew, that had terrorized the Nogales, Ariz., area for months."

Dear Reader. In law enforcement talk, the word, "rip" is one of the most frightening terms in our jargon. It means a "rip-off". In DEA undercover work, a rip-off was when the undercover agent becomes the victim of a robbery, in which the seller of the drugs would rob and kill the purported buyer rather than make a drug for money exchange. There have been several undercover DEA agents who have been killed in these rip-offs over the years. So when I hear that the target of Agent Terry's group was a "rip crew", the immediate question in my mind is....

What the Hell is this talk about using bean bags??

What kind of sick mentality is it in Washington that sends agents like Brian Terry off to fight violent drug gangs on the border with bean bags??

And to this day, the Justice Department under that crook Eric Holder is withholding thousands of documents requested by the Congressional committee investigating Fast and Furious. Those documents have now been put under the protection of President Obama with his claim of executive privilege. Richard Nixon would be proud because unlike him, Obama is getting away with it.

Has anybody ever asked Janet Napolitano (now the president of the University of California and heading the US delegation to the Winter Olympics) why she allowed her Border Patrol agents to fight drug traffickers on the border with bean bags? No. I asked her when she spoke at UCLA a couple of years back why she wasn't pounding on Eric Holder's desk demanding to know why one or even two of her agents were dead because of  Fast and Furious. Answer? She preferred to allow the "investigation" to play out. Well, it seems it has "played out", just as Holder, Obama and Napolitano wanted. Nobody has ever been held accountable for one of the most boneheaded ventures in the history of law enforcement, one that has resulted in the deaths of one, possibly two US agents and hundreds of Mexicans.

Bean bags.

Database Spotlight: Freegal

Many of our library patrons don't know about the range of online information services we offer.

I imagine that this is because the phrase 'online information service' sounds like a robot sitting behind a desk offering monotone advice about where to find the nearest Kmart.

And it's true- a whole bunch of links stacked on the library website doesn't exactly speak volumes about the treasure trove of excellent stuff available to our members. When you walk into your local library, the visuals speak for themselves; books piled into shelves, glinting signs with each section clearly labelled, catalogue searching points - the library itself is designed to orientate you and show you where to go. Typing some words into a search box on a database can almost feel like cheating. After all, isn't that what's Google's for?

The collections you see at Camden and Narellan libraries are designed to fulfil the needs of our community. The books, files, Dvds, Cds and other resources there represent the things that our community will need most- which is why you'll find over fifty books on dinosaurs for primary school students, and every HSC excel guide available, and ten books on diabetes, and entire rooms devoted to local studies resources you can't get anywhere else.

But that might not help you when you want to source an article on the impact of self-talk on performance in aerobic exercise trials, or you really want to get some Swedish folk music. This kind of need is harder to judge for librarians, and even more difficult to supply consistently.

This is why the library has databases.

Databases are large online collections of books, articles, pictures, music, and more. Basically they are huge bundles of goodies and stuff dedicated to a particular subject or format. Some are provided by the State Library (a lot of the research ones), others are purchased directly by the library (such as audiobooks and TumbleBooks for children). They are available in online format to download- all patrons need are their card number and sometimes a password. They cover a massive amount of ground and are very convenient- available from your own home!

Over the next few weeks we'll be spotlighting a number of our databases that you might not have known about before and to get into them. Today is *drumroll please*.......FREEGAL!

Freegal is a music download database that works in tandem with Sony Music Australia. Library patrons can download three songs a week from Sony music to their computers, iPods, mp3 players etc. These songs are yours forever: they don't go away after three weeks! All you need is your library password and barcode number to hop straight on and go for it.

To access Freegal- go to out library website and click the extremely modest button the the right hand side that says Freegal music.

Next time - Audiobooks!

You need insurance!

Whether you are a fire-breathing entertainer, a comedian, or a juggling stilt walker we can cover you for all the things that probably will not happen to a professional like yourself, but maybe something does.

Welcome to the Canadian Insurance for Canadian Performers!

As members – you have access to the most accommodating, highest coverage, and lowest costing performers insurance in the country! We even cover instructors that teach circus arts!

Membership costs only $50/year.

For those of you that are familiar with Specialty Insurance – this is a very similar umbrella liability policy. The Association carries the insurance policy and members have the opportunity to buy into it for their personal/professional use.

This is INDIVIDUAL insurance. We don’t have a set up for group insurance.

What we have to offer: 2 Million and 5 Million liability coverage in two different categories of risk – low and high (as determined by our underwriters)

Low Risk (ex: stilt walker, dancer, rolla-bolla, cyr wheel, unicycle, magician, etc)

2 Million – $375/year
5 Million – $425/year

High Risk (aerialists, fire performers/breathers, knife throwers)

2 Million – $425/year
5 Million – $475/year

First, our primary focus is on providing cost effective insurance solutions for the self-employed or small businesses operating within defined markets. This is a specialist scheme that benefits those working in the Entertainments, and Arts and Crafts industries throughout Canada.

Second, CCPA is a private business. Therefore, the team that runs our office have a personal stake in making the business a success, a success that can only be achieved by keeping clients happy. We are also a client and perform as well! We know the business inside and out.

Third, the peace of mind that the insurances are underwritten by the BEST insurance company in the WORLD, is a well established and quality insurer with an A rating. There couldn’t be a better insurance company to provide insurance to us.
